TDB CONVICT MULLER. A deputatiou from the German Legal Proteetiou docility, *Doman of Herr Barad's, Dr. E. Jucn, and Masers. Baud sad Parker, the solicitors employed by the misty, attended at the Homrodice yesterday afternoon sad prioentad the society's memorial on behalf of the oonvici Muller to Mr. Everest, Sir George Grey brims out shows. Herr Bitairoirs, in presenting the memorial, read the several declarations which were appended to it, and ex. plaised the late presentation of the new facts. He trusted the prayer of t►e memorialists would not suffer from that simusstasee. Before the trial they had collected what Lacs they could, had Owed them in the hands of their pro. fissional advisers, sod, on their advice, part of such Gets were withheld from publicity, io, es it was thought, the in terest, of the accused. Since the trial the committee bad published everything, sad the result bad beep the valuable facts and statements they begged to submit to the government. This explained the l►teness with which the facts were brought forward. He hoped the government would, notwithstaudiug that, give the natter their full con sideration, acid ultimately accede to the prayer of the memorial for time to verify the truth of the several matters sentained in the declarations. Dr. Jlltli. in supporting the prayer of the memorial, slated that be saw Muller the day after his arrival in Eng land, and affirmed that he never met a than giving a more straightforward and consistent account of any matters on which he was questioned, always telling the same story and a the same simple, honest way. In preparing his defence Muller always repudiated the adoption of any but a similar . coarse. lie was always opposed to anything that even appeared to revuer him if is any way mingled with error or misrepresentation. Dr. Juch also urged that the con-- mitt*n were not reeponsilile for the late production of the facts, soil he hoped this would not militate against Muller. Yr. BEARD brwdy supported the statements of Dr. Juch as to the ingenuous and frank character of Muller when pre paring his defence. Mr. Board also presented a letter addressed to Sir George Grey. Mr. Et nu-sr assured the deputation that their memorial sad decluations should here the fullest attention. and that Mr. Beard should have the answer of Sir George Grey on Saturday next. The following is from the text of the memorial : The facts that induced the jury to convict Muller were probably these. hat. sworn to be his by Mat thews, was found in the carriage In which Mr. Bnggs re ceived some of hi. death blows. Upon Ibis matter of the fat's Identity, it M to be observed that Matthews is not con. roborated by soy person but his wife aid Mrs. Repsch; aid neither Matthews nor his wife gave any information until they had seen or heard that a reward of AV'. was offered. They pretend that they had never heard of a terrible murder with which the whole metropolis rang; though Matthews admitted that he regularly read I.lopd's IVerapaper. It is submitted also that it is not pos sible for soy man to swear to the hat of another, yet Matthews took on himself absolutely to do so. Muller was unquestionably seen on the 'Jib of July by Mr. and Mrs. Blyth, by Repech, and by Haifa. The two first, with whom be had lodged for seven weeks, could have ides- Wad the hat, as one or the other of them saw, and perhaps handled it every day for seven weeks, but they did cot idea tdy it. Haifa was as likely to know it as Matthews, but the crown did not venture to ask bun the question. Neither Ise nor the Blythe expected • reward. The hat found in the carriage tease shabby one—Muller was remarkable for his neatness of dress, and his constant attention I. his pe:soo ; he was food of huery.—bad he worn such a hat it must have instantly attracted notice. The Blythe must have Tema, ked it at once. That be bad a hat made by Welker is sot denied; but Muller declares that when he bought his sew bat at Digance'a, the old one (Walker's) was so bad that be left it there, and be never saw it after. Hata so Mit, and not asked for , are well known to be afterwards made up and sold to the pedlars, who dispose of them about the city. But what real or conclusive proof is there that it mulls hat, beyond the fancy of the batter •: Mr. Walker says be sells three or four dozen such bate every week ; he proposes to identify this by certain lining ; but no man's BM should depend on so slight and doubtful • piece of evidence. Matthews asserts that be bought Muffler's Lt for him at his request, some months after he Lad bought his own ; be asserts also that his (Matthews') hat feu lined with the same remarkable pattern. It is submitted that it is utterly incredible that a hat-maker would design wily keep this bit of lining for month. ; and that it is most &whitely that it should happen accidentally that the tut remaining fragment of it which he had should be attached to this hat, which was made to order, sod was not one kept in stock. The probability is, that the batter, when he used me bit of the lining. worked up the other also on a bat in mock ; but this hat is sworn to as having been made spiel. ally to order. Although it might be correct that Mr. Walker did not make up more than two or three hats with listing of this kind, ouch lining was in the minket, and would be sent to other hat-makers or lint-mender.; and of ter all, it is highly doubtful whether any hat-maker con with certainty say how many hats he lined with any particular pattern of bong many months before his attention was called to the circumstance ; nor did Mr. Walker strengthen his testimony by reference teeny memo randum on that subject. That Mr. sod Mrs. Blyth, who must have seen it every day for the seven weeks preceding the murder, cannot identify it, ought to weigh more than this trivial surmise. It was admitted at the trial that Matthews had bought a hat in every respect similar even as to lining to that which he swore as being Muller's, with the exception rally that it was a little more turned up ; he said that it was from seeing that bet that Muller took a fancy to it., and wished one like it, which the hat produced at the trial was. In this fact, of the "little more turn up," be was not corroborated by either Mr. Walker or his shop man. But the hat which Matthews himself had wore, rod which was said to be in every particular, save the tern up, like that of Muller, was not produced at the trial, nor was its absence in any way accounted for. That also may have been found, or sold, or dressed up by some pedlar and worn by another. It may have passed to Petticoat-lane —the haunt of thieves—and been there bought by some one whose employment is theft; it may be lying at the bottom Of the Hoddeedon pond, as testified by Mr. Beneet. It is too violent • conclusion to arrive at, that where two hats of remarkable lining exist, the one produced belongs to one only of two iudivaluels, the more especially as the conduct sad evidence of one of them, the cabman, was marked by several suspicious Kota, nail distinguished too by cootradtc time of • very important character. If it is to be taken that Matthews dues not know tibia beanie of his old bat, why should Muller be condemned because ha also is ignorant of who took away ha: One of the most singular circumstances in this awe is that these two men should bane hats so nearly alike. Muller positively declares that he bought at Mr. Ingiume's tie bat which in n.ti.l to be that of Mr. Briggs, and Le ryes the very dates, that is, between the 14th and Junk of May last. It may be said that it was too expensive; but Muller was a man who spent a great deal in personal decoration. He asserts that after be bought it he was rallied upon it as being too tall for him, and that this was the reason be cut it down. Ile asserte most liesitively that the Repschs saw him cot it down, and tithes be was ironing it. Repseh advised him to wet his rag as batters did. He dreci ibed to • member of the committee the appearance of the &Lomas. at Mr. Itig.mcc's froto whom he bought it. Two of the com mittee went to Diganer's sod saw that shopmao ; his de seriptiou corresponded exactly with that given by Muller. Mr. Digauce himself was questioned about the safe of such a hat, and was politely asked to let his day-hook for May be men ; but he ref :mad to give any information, nor would he let his day-took be examined, nor could he permit his assistant to give information ; stating on Lis reason, that Muller WWI a murderer. Now if it could be proved that this hat wax really purchased by Muller at Mr. Di-.anes's, the case fur the prosecution would he greatly weakened, it not wholly destroyed. Muller amen. that it car.. It is not unreasonable, therefore, to ask only for a respite, that this matter may be Inquired into. It should be oLserved here that the statement as to only two or three bats baking losing of this de-Kr - Thin was never rucutioned until the croseezamiusition at the trial. when the witness was probably flurried, and bud no means of refresi.in; his recollection. Evidence given under such circunistrooes does cot deserve weight; and, after ■ll, it may turn out that there were dozens of h a ts hi e d w i th that particular pattern. Nu Wood, or mar kof bloat, was found on the hat which is supposed to base lawn Mr. Briggs's. It is imposaible that it could have escaped some spot in the blood-sta i ned carriage, nut io the fe.olu/ struggle. This goes far to prove it was nut Briggs's hat. ft is no part .-f the duty of the memorialists to throw a enepieine of guilt on anyone, nor do they desire to do an ; hat the but found In the carriage was, without doubt, at least the counterpart of a Lat which Matthews admitted that be 011,e had. and of which Lie or his mate could give so account whatever. Muller assorts that he went to the docks no the Monday morning, the Ilth of July; that a pedlar, whose face was well known to persons employed there, offered hini the watch and chain, neer where the ships lay ; that be then had his pasa..gr•mooey in his pocket (es Hefts sayrd ; tl.e price which the pedlar naked was Gt. but Muller did not feel disposed to give more than 41.. which his offered.

Muller left the ducks, and when crossing Tower-bill he doubted the geutoritnese of his purchase- he thought that they ware otil) gilt and worth ier.. and he went to Mr. Death's to propose no eichaege of chains, for the purpose of diecovermg whether the Dearly acquired property was gold or Lime. Inscoveriog that it was gold, he resolved to part with the chain rod keep the watch iu place of his own, which wee in pawn. His vaoty made him state a falsehood as to the chain and ring—that they were presents from his father, as he also falsely stated that Mr. Hoag- Heron was sendiu{ bon to New York at 1:4)/. sreyear, and as he pretended there that be had bad the watch two years. TLe latter statement. it is suggested, was that of a marl who Lad lecome convinced during rite voyage that the watch purchased from is. pedlar had been THE EXPRESS, F1:11LA Y LVENING, NOVEMBER 11, Sr 4; got under doubtful circumstances, and he probably was under great etuh.rnisiiment about it when apprehended. Had he known (bet the chain was that of Mr. Briggs's, it meredible that he could have given the Lox which he received twin Mr. Dreth to Matthews, child as a plaything, for he most have been guiltily auspidous that that box would be ideotilied and traced to him. Jacob Weist. porter at Mr. White's, proved at the , 1 trial that be bad moo Muller several times at the London pork•. He now adds that three or four days befogs Muller sailed. be saw him there cue morning ; IVi.t wax hot at the drake on either Saturday or Tuesday, and therefore, L < believes that it was on the Monday morn tog before he sailed that he saw Muller. There are declara tions that the pedlar described was in the habit of Ire- • ipieuting the 'Like, and that he ceased to do so about the period when the police were engaged in the discovery of the murderer. Muller describes the pedlar who sold him the watch and chain as being a man of middle um ; he had • lean face with prominent check bones, brown whiiikers, sod shaven chin ; Le had a littleacaron the lip. He wore a Melton mon tug coat. Toss us nearly sa posse isle corresponds with the description of the mimiug man. This pedlar has since been discovered ; he admits that lie sold • gold chain and • watch about July to • person in the docks; but he that the watch was silver. It is submitted that this last assertion cannot be wholly relied upon, and that the coincidence is so extraordinary that Muller at New York should base asserted this fact, and that it should be discovered to he true in the most material perticulare,that a respite of Moller is imperatively demanded by the exigen cies of publie justice for • more full investigation as to where the pedlar got these articles, and what he aithesquently dal with them. It was from Muller's de aiiiiption of him solely that he was traced out and dim vsi ed. The prooage•woney bad exhausted Muller's finances. He sold his coat and trousers on the voyage, and bad twelve shillicgs in hit pocket when apprehended. This accounts for the non-production of his clothing, which was mach so much of at the trial. It ts certain that he was so reduced in lIIA tine! era, when he was about to le►ve London, that he could not Lave paid his passage-money bad be not pledged his coat for the tia. before mentioned. No person who west out in Has aiiip could prove that Muller had cut down the bat durirg tee voyage. It was proved to have been ironed after it wee cut jowl.. If be borrowed an iron on board ship, the fact should have been proved. It is un ' likely in the extreme that he did so on the Sunday, as Mr. and Mrs. Myth declare that be was with them all that day, • and the, loth noise in stating that they did not notioe him with • new hat. Mrs. Blyth positively avers that from the ' time when Muller entered her lodgings until he left, she never saw hut one bat with him : the prosecution did not veotuie to p ct into her hand at the trial either of the hate which *die supposed to prove Muller's guilt. The truth is, the hat was cui down soon after he bought it, and it was cut before he went to lodge with Blyth. In the a'oence ii! direct evidence, while the indirect evi dence is eta dountful or suspicious Datum, Muller's elm. reeler should be thrown into the sub; his demeanour since his arrest, and even since his condemnation, has been that of • man who is not guilty of the crime of murder. And his whole previous career is as much at variance with the perpetration of tl.e crime, as hit physics! and nervous temp•inment render him apparently incapable of it. The highest pos-ible evidence as to Muller's character, respect ability, industry, gentlemen, and playfulness, was ready; it is not known why it was not offered. Since his convic tion the following letter has been received 1, at. zwabln's4ane. King William-street, London, Nov. 3, 1684. M. Lasker. —cor.—After reading the report of the German Leal •to,to o.

I canoot rov.onelle myself to believe that a man with so many really good qualities could commit so foul a crime.—l &in, sir, y. ere ododivutl), It. STCVMS. It is not reasonable to suppose that a man who bad committed a murder of this terrible description, when the hue and my was raised all through London, would be coolly walking shout the streets, and would openly exhibit his newly al:tinned hat and chain and ring which he knew to be connected with the crime. Would he dispose of the chain to a respectable jeweller, where it would be most likely to be detected! would be not rather @ell it in some haunt of thieves! Would he openly declare has intention to leave the country, and tell all bas friends the name of the ship be was going in, while he took his passage in his own name! His tietural cheerfulness and kindliness of temper never were seen to change ; though if be bad been guilty it is impossible but that be must have exhibited some agita• tion, some trace. of inward or external excitement and alarm. Yet nose was ever settee. If It to conceded—sod it was virtually conceded at the trial—that Muller was at Jones's at all that evening, the dates conclusively show that be could not be at Fel:l -aunch-street at 0.50. He parted with Haft at Jewry street, Minorite, tot before 7.45 ; this was ten aunties' walk frig tinecechtrch•treet, and he could only catch the eight o'clock omnibus to Camberwell-gate. It takes twenty-five minutes to ride from Orscecburch. street to Camberwell-gate ; and to walk from thence to Veinal-street at a moderate pace by • lame man with • slipper could hardly be dais in twenty-five minuted; —that takes us to 8.50. Is is in evidence that be stayed five or ten minutes ; aesume that he left doses abut nine, he would urns at Camberwell-gate at 9.25 or 9.110. He could not anive there for an earlier omnibus cet tainly than 9.25. This would bring him to Gracocharchotreet at 9.50. From thence to Feochurchotreet is about five minutes, making it ti. 5.5 ; but the evidence conclusively showed that the 9.45 train, a few minutes behind its time, started at 9.50. On the whole, it is improbable that be could have caught all those omnibuses and trains at the exact moment when be wanted them, and that he could have made so wed-timed a race to commit murder. Muller positively declares that he was the parucger in the slipper who left Carole rwell-gate in the omnibus at 9.55. The Lord Chief Baron told the Jury as follows : upon this point (Times, 31.) " Between seven and eight o'clock the prisoner was at Reputes ; he then left, taking his boots with bit, saying be wee going to Camberwell. There was plenty of came for him to bane gone to Camberwell, • and to have returned." It is submitted that no the figures just quoted, this direction of the learned judge wee too unqualified. These figure' are ail absolutely true ; and being so, they demonstrate that the judge was mistaken in asserting that " there acs plenty of time." ! At the coroner's iuqueat the following important evi dence was glom by Townsend, • ticket porter at Hackney Wick Station who collected the tickets of the train in which Mr. Briggs had travelled. He said :—" We keep the door locked till the tickets are collected. I remem ber that • man was very anxious to have the platform, and went into the porter's room, thinking that it was the way down. Hr see !Awl very impatient, and said, on being told that the door would be opened in a moment, 'l) the door, it ought to have bees opened before ; and he added that he would report ere. I should know him again. The station la on an embankment. We have rather a rough lot there at times." Muller was shown to this witness, but he could not identify him es the men. Like Mr. Lee he was not called by the crown. It is submitted that this is •en y re markable evolence,when taken in connection wtth what Mr. Lee swore, and that this was probably one of the two men seen by him in the carriage with Mr. Briggs. The other may have escaptel down the embankment, which in steep, and not traversable ho A wan who limped as Muller did on that night. Observe, also, that this man, whoever he was, has never cone forward to explain his remarkable conduct that night. I!et the inquest was held so long ago as the 19th of July last, und the crown might hare discovered him if he were guiltless. A similar observation occurs sa to the two persons seen by Mr. Lee. As it is impossible to assume that he has wilfully perjured himself, how is it that neither of these person a has ever come forward Their conceal ment of themselves can be accounted for oule on the suppooit:on that they possess a guilty secret—and that they were, in fact, the murderers of Mr. Briggs. It ie absurd to believe all that Matthews says, and to disbelieve all that Mr. Let swears. A is noel. named Baron de Comma declares that on the night of the molder. some time after tea o'clock, be lost his going t- Ilackney-wick station, and toned himself in Wallacr.ro,o+. Lear the canal, at a place about 100 or 150 yards flon. w Li re Ur. Bii,gs was found. He saw a tall dark min •ho :ippea:ed stunned or drunk, and whose face, Lands, .td chatting were covered with blood ; soother per son, appeared to be a workman, and who was there, remarked that the man bad either been attacked or had done some murder. This nun went in the direction of the coral. it is suggested that this was the second tarn who sat in the railway carriage; that in the struggle with Mr. Briggs both rolled out of the earrings together; that this moo escaped, and made towards the canal for the purpose of cleansing himself, while his compa nion rode on to the station, and naturally expressed impa tieot anxiety, and perbair alarm, at finding the doer closed, which he could not Is.l to feel hurter the circumstances that autrounded Lion F. Magerkorth declares that about eleven on the same night. a man is a very ex cited manner offered him • heavy gold old-fashioned watch fur I Hit hair WAS dark ; be hail an alpaca coat sod dark trousers. F. ,lagerkorth's wife was with him, sod she says she thinks she would know the watch again. F. slagerkorth refused to buy the watch. He gave iolormaileti to the police • lay or two after: yet the police never showed Brigp' watch to F. Mager kortb's wife. This took place at Cable-street, St. George's in the East ; aid if the man who exhibited impatience at Hackney to get away from the station was the person who offered the watch to F. Magerkorth, he could easily have got from the station to the place where F. Msgerkoth met him. A circunisteoce so pointedly singular as this dent...Ws • rigid and ihunediate inquiry. It was not shown that Muller was it any way acquainted with this particular railway line—it was sever suggested that the murder was premeditated by him ; yet it is sup posed that this poor tailor got into a first class carriage, with the chance prescut to hiu mind of his being able to kill or rob soup-iraiy tai a minute or two, ready •rnied and prepared with a deadly inatruseeut. Such an hypothesis is fallacious. All his aotecedenta negative the idea. It is more likely that Suggs, she bank clerk, was known and followed by some Loradoo thieve., who b.d watched for him sod premeditated the murder cad *Do ta-rtaii,ly tried km leathern bag befine they decamped, for blood was lomat QO its beadle. 111ton/or were one of the two men seen I. the railway camage—though Mr. Lee declares that be was not—it IS bard to conceive how he could have beau found in poesession of the whale of ohs property, as be would have bad to share it with his confederate. It is more probable that be pur chased it all from one of these men, or from a Jaw accom plice of theirs afterwards, under eircumslauces that, whys be came to reflect upon them, excited his own suspicious. The persons who proved an ebb' bad no Internet whatever in the acquittal of Muller. The full details of this alibi were known iu Loudon to those interested in Lis defence long before he was appreheuded in New York. It is clear also that Muller was toned guilty because he was proved to to comffsoted with anemia:some so suspicions that it was difficult to believe ouch ciicumataaces could be consistent with innocence. But it is submitted that this is not a fair way of arriving at a c .reclusion so momentous, beaus° there are many circumstances of the greatest weight connected with his case equally indicative of his innocence; in other words there are nearly as great difficulties to arriving at • oonalasioa of Muller's guilt as there are iu concluding that lie is wholly innocent. Instance the fol lowing :— let. Thie‘lohyeical improbability, sod almost im possibility, that a silight young man, destitute of any large amount of strength, and to some extent disabled of the use of one limb, could in the space of two or three minutes overpower and throw out of the carriage a men so much larger, heavier, and more powerful—the same man not having beau asleep, nor likely to be so in the short interval between his getting into the carriage and speaking to Mr. Lee and the moment when he was attacked. Then must have been a desperate and deadly struggle, body to body —the !limber of the wounds and their position, end the heaving out of the body, would indicate more than one assailant ; and Muller was not shows to hare ever possessed such an instrument as would have indicted the wounds found on Mr. Briggs. That an omnibus conductor should have taken up a passenger with a slipper is a carious incident ; but how could Muller know this At the very moment when be was asserting it in New York, a bod 7 of gentle men, entire straogers to him, were bent on making the dis covery in London, three thousand miles away. There is so coincidelice offered in support of his guilt more wonderful than this coincidence, discovered by chance, is io favour of his innocence. The disordered cushion and general state of the carriage are evidences of a struggle between Mr. Briggs and his aasailant. It ea dißicult to suppose that in this contlact the attacking party would not have some bruise, or scratch, or mark on his face or hands. Yet none was ever seen on Moller. Various statements supposed to have been mtde by Muller in prison to Mr. Beard, since his conviction, have appeared in some of the London papers. The memorialists believe that the greater portion of these statements are doubtful, aad that Muller ought tot to be judged by them. Some of the public have asked why did not Muller give any account to the police how he bee►ms possessed of certain articles! It should be borne in mind, in justice to Muller, that in remaining silent he acted under written advice sent to him in New York, and delivered to him there the mo ment be was apprehended. No unfavourable conclusions ought therefore to be draws from his silence. The Lord Chief Baron, in his summing up to the jury, intimated that Sunday was • den non—a 'nest unlike!) day for the murderer, supposing him to be ano ther than Muller, to dispose of the watch and chain to • third party. It is submitted that Sunday is of all others, the very day most likely ; it is the well-kernel) market day of the Petticoat-lane thieves and dealers. The Lord Chief Baron likewise told the jury that it was not required of them in findings, verdict of guilty against Muller that they should have no doubt of his guilt, but that they should have the same degree of certainty which they required in their own most important affairs. Now this direction being addressed to men of Waimea, they would natundly take the analogy of business matters as their standard ; yet we see every day that men embarking in the most important commercial transactions require only a slight preponderance of probabilities of success to justify them in doing so, and running the greatest hazards; and hence the vast number of ruined speculators, who never theless are usually men of sound judgment, and well accus tomed to mercantile contingencies. It is submitted, there fore, that such a test is calculated to mislead, and that it was intended by Lord Tenterden, on whose authority it was cited, rather for civil than fur criminal investigations. No imputation is intended to be conveyed on the finding of the jury ; who, on the imperfect facts presented to them on Muller's behalf, could have probably arrived at no other verdict than that which they did. Muller himself, after condemnation, said " I should like to my something. I am at all events satisfied with the sentence which your lordship has passed, for I know very well it is that which the law of the country prescribes. I have not been con victed on • true statement of the facts, but on a false state ment." This may be taken to be as strong • protestation of innocence as a foreigner knowing little of the English language could make ; and it was • rejoinder to the judge, who said it was the sentence of the law, and not of the court. But Muller was condemned by public opinion before be was brought to England at all, in the same way as, but in • stringer degree thaa, Dr. Smethurst was. This polle n= was convicted of poisoning before the Lord Chief Baron, who expressed himself satisfied with the verdict, and gave him no hope ; yet when, on • memorial like tlra, he was respited, the accusation was found to be falas, and no one ever since doubted that he was wrongfully convicted of the crime for which he was adjudged to death. It is confidently hoped that • similar result would follow the respite prayed for in this ease. The following declarations were sworn on Wed nesday,and appended to the memorial : . . •• of 25, Broad-street, Lambeth, in the count• of Surrey, bookseller, do solemnly and sin cerely declare, that, on the 9th day of July, 1864, I went into the public-house called the • Red Lion,' which is in the Walworth-road, close to Camberwell gate, at about twenty minutes to ten. Very shortly after I went in, a person—a foreigner in appearaoce— came io, and called for a glom of ale, and stayed there a short time. I noticed that he bad a red carpet slipper on his right foot, sod I therefore oxide way for him, taking are not to touch his foot. He area fair, with light hair, about middle stature. He wore dark clothes, sod I think a lowish-crowned hat. I spoke to him, and be answered me in a foreign accent. I should know him again. I remember that while in the public-house there was a disturbance out side, but 1 did not take the trouble to learn what it was. I know that this took place on the 9th of July, as I had come up on that day from Barking, in Telex, on business, and 1 lost the train by which 1 intended to return, and bad to walk nine miles. Moreover, I recollect on that day writing a letter to the Earl of Chichester, but for certain reasons 1 did not send it.

The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, Mr. Alderman Hale, took his scat yesterday for the tint time as chief nogiunte of the Ca y, and in doing so said be bad to request the gen tlemen officielly connected with the court to afford him their bast aid and assistance to enable him to discharge the important duties upon which be bad mitered. He was so stranger to them, baying had the honour of occupying that chair as a magistrate on many previous occasions, and he had always found the gentlemen by whom he was sur rounded most willing, able, and efficient. Upon Mr. Oki, he should have to rely principally upon points of law, and as regarded the other gentlemen be wee confident they would always afford him that ready and able assistance he had• always received at their hands. In midtown, his lordship said be should endeavour, as far as possible, to take his seat punctually at the hour appointed, and not to trifle with the time of the public. The Lord Mayor was occupied for several hours in hearing charges of pickiug pockets and assaults. In one case five young men. named JareaKirek, Fred. Finch, Joseph Painter Samuel Etheardi. and Thome, Connolly, were charged with assaulting Detective-officer Legg iu the execution of his duty ; and Connolly was also charged with rescuing a prisoner from Legg's custody. According to the evidence Legg had taken a man into custody who had stolen a purse out of a lady's pocket, and Connolly caught the officer by the collar in such a manner that be was compelled to let his prisoner go, and be escaped with the lady's purse. He then attempted to secure Con• nolly, but, according to his statement, Ms other prisoners endeavoured to get him away, and in doing so the officer got kicked and knocked about io a severe euioner, sod was com pelled to obtain assistance to secure the prisoners. The pri soners bad all been let out on bail, and four of them bore a very respectable appearance. Edwards, it appeared, was employed at a warehouse m Cheapside, Connolly described himself as • dock lel:sourer, and the other three were employis of Maws. Copestake and Co., of Cheapside. Connolly' denied having interfered at all with the officer, but said he was first assaulted by the policeofficer. The other prisoners, in explanation said that hearing the procession was passing, they with a Dumber of others ran out of the warebouae into the crowd, sad were immediately seized and charged by the of f icer, they having taken no part whatever in the affray. Several witnesses from Messrs. Copestake's warehouse stated that their friends had not taken any part in the dis turbance. As regarded Connolly, he described himself as a dock labourer, but refused to give his address. The Lord Manor said the facts had been sworn to on the part of the police, who must be protected in their duty. Ile sentenced Coaoolly to 14 days' imprisonment, and in dicted a fine of 10i. each on the other prisoners. There was one case of pocket-picking, arising from a crowd having been collected by some persons indulging is the mischievous trick of throwing hot halfpence from the windows.

Sec. CHARITY AND THE POOIIPLAW.--CURIOC9 CASE. —A angular same hathocupied the attention of the Cambridge Board of Guardians during thalast three weeks; it was brought toe conclusion on Wednesday last. A map from Leed-,named Parker, having a wife and two children, worked for some years for Mr. }lanyard, tobacco manufacturer, of Cam, bridge. A short time ago the man died, and Mr. Halyard. • guardian, meeting the widow, mad her about her iota°. elope as to the future. She said she intended to retain to Leeds, where she had relatious and friends, and bad sold part of her furniture to enable her to do so. Mr. Ban yard charitably gave her • sovereign to assist her in the attain. merit of her object, sever supposing, as he alleges. that such an act could be construed into an infraction of the law. The woman and children reached Leeds in doe course; there they became chargeable to the union, and the woman having made known to the guardians Mr. Banyard's liberality, and that be was a guardian, the Leeds guardians lathed a sum mons against the latter, alleging that be Ind infringed a statute passed in 1846, whereby any officer engaged under the Poor-law Board subjected himself to • penalty pot ex ceeding 5/. or less than 21., for giving or causing to be given, pecuniary or other assistance to persons in ordee that by that assistance persons might declare themselves destitute. Mr. Fetch (the clerk to the Cambridge board) advised, and the guardians, agreed that a guardian could only act es such when sitting in the board-room, and that a guardian did not come under the term "officer." as contemplated by the act. It was resolved that Mr. Fetch be instructed to premed to Leeds to defend the cue on the part of the board. This Mr. Patch did, urging the above points and various technicalities. It was proved that when the woman Parker arrived at Leeds the bad still Mr. Banyard's sove reign in her possession, so that oo part of it bad actu ally contributed to the expellees of her journey, and at the time of her examination she had 16s. of it in her pocket ; but she admitted that she should not have gone to Leeds but for Mr. Banyard's sovereign. It was con. tended by Mr. Fetch that the fact of Mr. Baoyard's being • guardian did not bar his right to exercise private charity, but the bench convicted Mr. 'lanyard in the lowest tine sad expenses, allowing the matter to stand over for a few days to give the Cambridge guardians the opportunity of appealing toe higher court. The whole of the facts were laid before the Poor-law Board by the Cambridge guardians, to obtain authority to challenge the decision of the Leeds bench. On Wednesday last the Poor-law Board intimated to the Cambridge guardians that they bad no authority to interfere in the matter, but in their opinion the expenditure of union funds for the defence of • guardian charged with an offence against the poorlaw was illegal. Had the opinion of the board been favourable, the case would have been carried to the superior court■ at the expense of the Cambridge union ; as it is, Mr. Baoyard's ieduleence of his charitable feelings is likely to be costly to him. He protests his entire ignorance of the statute under which he has been convicted, and that he was actuated purely by motives quite independent of his position as guardian.

In answer to kir. Knox, the complainant said she believed the defendant was intoxicated. The defendant wished to know if Mrs. Gray had not seised him by the collar, and Mrs. Gray said not till defendant struck her. Her brother had ale, a black eye through a blow the defendant gave him.

He saw the defendant strike his sister, sad be defended her as well as he could, and the defendant then struck him in the eye. Mr. Wolff, who had also a bad black eye, said, in answer to a question, the defendant bad been &taxing, but knew what he was about. _ _ _ Police-coastable Sharman, 35 E, proved taking defendant into custody, and that he was drank. The defendant said that, hearing a disturbance, he went into the house, when Mrs. Gray seized him by the collar, and be pushed her away. Mr. Knox said if the defendant wished him to believe that the black eye Mrs. Gray had got was caused by a push, he would at once tell him he did not believe him. The defendant said be had a wife and children. Mr. KDOI said he would not send the Cili•Dd•Ot to prison at once—though he considered his conduct in striking • female very dastardly and brutal—sa it might ruin his wife and children. The defendant did not think so much of his children as he (Mr. Knox) did. The only thin; in defen dant's favour was that there was no premeditation. He would fine him 40s. or 14 days. LAMBETH.

Mr. Norton—How do you know that you will win the money I see by the newspapers that they we making great efforts to get Muller off.

My bet being " that Muller was hung," and that person being then and at present living, he bad undoubtedly won my fire shillings. (Laughter.) Mr. Norton—lt is not a matter in which I can interfere, but my advice to you is, should Muller be executed nod the man refuse to give you the money, to go to the county court for • summons. The applicant thanked his wonhip for hie advice, and said he should act upon it.
