ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. MIDLAND ClRCUlT,—Lititiff, Atinin (Before Mt. Justice Lush.) • , oniarniecv OF mans 17RIONORS. Jahn Shen k bast hbrtem, Jabs Norms edict Ben, Nary .11Mehe Mailed Beebe, Josue Bear, Affred 81=,108*Pit runrreuq, and POllia StUddeSSION were in di yesterday for coering to injure James Powell in his trade of a mason and builder, by molesting, *b and using threats and intimidation to such workmen as might be willing to be hired and employed by the said James Powell ; and also prejudicing, injuring, and oppressing the said Jam= Powell in his said trade, and preventing certain work of the said James Powell from confirming to work for him, at James o the 15th April, and other dates. Mr. Maule, Q.C., for theprosecution, said that in February last Mr. Powell had a contract to build a house near Sheffield, and he was then employing 18 masons. Having a quarry about six miles from the house he was then constructing, the stone be required for the purpose of being put together in this house was not roughly taken from the quarry, but Mr. Powell, instead of carrying the rude material over the country for six miles, had it chis elled, shaped, and formed in the quarry. By this pro cedure the chips were left in the quarry instead of bei carted in the rough to the building, and the economy of such • plan appeared =Mina. On the 15th April two of the defendants waited upon Mr. Powell and stated they were a deputation from the Masons' Union, and bad been sent to remonstrate with him on the mode in which he was currying out his work ; and told him that he was vio lating a rule to which he (Mr. ) mad e Powell was not a party, but which the working =aeons d themselves ; and they requested him to discontinue this mode of busi ness Mr. Powell refused to accept the dictation of the de putation. Sheridan then said he knew a builder who got • acmes with the " club " for working contrary to the rules of the union, and he was thereby ruined, and had to leave the country. Ile significantly added, "We don't hold this out as an intimidation to you," but he (the learned coun sel) contended that all must infer from the language that it was a threat. A day or two after the interview lo out of the 18 masons left Mr: Powell's employ. Conasquent upon th is strike, Mr. Powell applied to London for " free labour ' men, and obtained eight men from a society esta blished in the metropolis. On the 22nd April these men went to the job, having their tools with them, but after working a short time they went away to seek for lodgings, promising to return the next morning. In the mean time they were waited upon by some of the defendants, who took them to the Dog and Partridge Inn, where the masons' club was held, and made certain representations to them. The new hands were told they ought not to go to work again at Powell's, and they were offered money to discontinue their labour for that builder. Some of them accepted the cash, and went back to London at once. On the 24th April other labourers came from London, three of whom commenced work, but declined to resume it on the following morning. It then transpired that the second batch of three labourers had been sought out by some of the defendants ; had been remonstrated with j had boon informed that there was a strike against Mr. Powell ; that it was a black job ; and that they must not go on with their work. As these new bands approached the place where the house was being built, several of the defendants who were there picketed watched who went in and came out of the premises, and called out, "Boa" and "Black sheep," and used other annoying words. The defendants, or some of them, then separated the three new labourers from Mr. Powell, and the next day the defendant Minchclifte went to the place • where they had been employed, and took away their tools. On the 26th April a placard was posted about Sheffield, and especially about the place where Mr. Powell's contract was going on. The manuscript, it was proved by evidence, was in the hand writing of Armstrong, the former secretary of the Masons' Union, and the bill or notice was to request "all masons not to accept employment from Mr. Powell, as there was a strike on with him, inasmuch as he had wilfullye.nd deliberately violated the sixth rule or regulat ion which had been approved by the master • dere of Sheffield." Mr. Powell was not a member of the Master Builders' Association, and was not, there fore, bound by any rules that society might have adopted. Besides this, two advertisements were inserted in the Sheffield newspapers, and it was shown that this had been done by the defendants Hinchcliffe and San derson. The advertisement was to the effect that " masons were requested to keep away from Mr. Powell's job until the strike was settled." A number of witnesses were called to prove the facts stated in the opening, and Mr. D. Seymour, Q.C., and Mr. Iltzjames Stephen, Q.C., addressed the jury on be half of the defendants. The learned judge having summedup, the jury retired, and at length returned into court with a verdict of Guilty against Binchcliffe, Armstrong, and Sanderson. They Acquitted the reset of the prisoners. This morning the convicted men were brought up for judgment. Ms Lordship said : My learned colleague and myself have considered the circumstances of your case, with a view of determining what sentence we ought to pass upon you, and we have come to the conclusion that we cannot deal with you as he (Mr. Baron Bramwell) dealt with the prisoners whom he tried at the Old Bailey some time ago for the same offence. The westion of picketing came then for the first time before a criminal court—its legal quality had not previously been declared, and, at the close of a long trial the defendants and the other members of the union to which they belonged, expressed themselves satisfied that they had committed a breach of the law. Moreover they arm they could not adopt the practice of picketing—so as to be of any use to themselves—without notating the law --and they therefore gave an assurance that the practice should be discontinued for the future; and upon that ground it was that my learned colleague felt himselfjusti fled in discharging them without passing any sentence at nll, merely getting them to enter into recongnizances to ap pear for judgment when called upon. You have deliberately, mid with knowledge of the case to which I have just been alluding, attempted to practise picketing ; and you have done it, according to the finding of the jury, upon which I must act, by means of intimidation and annoyance, and therefore brought yourselves within the criminal law. I can readily believe what was stated by your counsel—that you took legal advice before you so acted, and that you in tended to keep you within the limits of the law. But I cannot eymprithibe with persons whe, for the purpose of injuring another, intended to go to the verge of the law, and happen to be betrayed beyond it. I hope this will be a warnuig to you and others not to enter upon a practice so perilous, because you cannot say how far you may be led beyond the point marked out for yourselves. I. feel bound to pass a sentence upon you in order to deter others from following your example, and to teach you and others that the law, while it will pr otect you to the full in the enjoyment of your rights, will also compel you to respect the rights of others. The sentence upon each of vou that you be imprisoned for four calendar months. •• COMIMAA OF A MERCHANT FOR FRAUD. In a subsidiary court, before Serjeant O'Brien, John Prance, 34, mango merchant, was indicted On a charge of having attempted to defraud his creditors. Mr. Hammy and Mr. Woad) prosecuted ; the prisoner was defended by Mr. C. Foster and Mr. Bruce. The charge was laid iuMer the Bankruptcy Act of 1861, the 221st section of which "rendes that if any bankrupt, with intent to defraud his creditors, shall, within sixty days before adjudication, remove, conceal, or embezzle any part of his property, to the value of 101., he shall he guilty of meanour, and the allegation against the prisoner was thit he " remOved, oon rietor embezzled a sum of 1,4301., with intent araud his creditors." Thu prisoner carried on boldness as a mango merchant at Oesett and Rudders and, being in difficulties, he called his oreditors at a meeting at the Queen Rotel, in Leeds. on the 16th July. At that meeting the submitted to the creditors peanut a which was eon- Adored_ _ ery_rmsrmffaotery Mr. ough, florozOlor• of Tlnddmfteld, examined me bankrept with regard to we t& moneys which he had received, but bad not paid into his bantling amount between the 18th May and the 16th July. At that time Mr. Clengh read from a paper which he held in his hands, containing a. number of items, amount ? tog in the whole to the ma of 18004, which he bad re ceived from customers. The bankrupt said that he never got the money, and that he bad neither money nor friends, and, in fact, Wit he had nothing. Them was some talk of an assignment for the benefit bf meditate between Mr. Closgh and the prisoner's solicitors, bat it was ultimately settled that the prisoner slims* petition theComt of Rant. raptey, The same day the prisoner presented his petition, via he was adjudiaated bankrupt on the following day, and mamioed before Mr. Registrar Yorke, objection having been made to the bankrupt receiving Arson mail he had been examined in open court. Before he was examined he made the usual statutory declaration that he would make a full disclosure of his affairs. Then he was examined by Mr. Simpson, a well known solicitor in Leeds, end a curious seenetook pleas. The answers of the bankrupt were so evasive and an that the regis trar had to threaten to send for l e i =esioner Arton to commit him if he did not answer truly,and • fact the commissioner was fetched out of th in e " rai in lw t al -carriage to mike the bankru out upon the subject. ' He then declared that he ratrit k ot mid any money to Ms banker, and that he had only paid to to .one two of his creditors a sum of money under 201. o ld Be or y. hat he bad banded over to his father rums of 170/., 33t1f. and 1131., in addition to 9001. which he had •ed fromream cus- • tome., durkg the month of Julie, and that be would nedertake that his Wiser week' pee the money up. The lame day one of the messengers in the Bankruptcy Court was sent up to Moss's house at Oesett. and after he had been there some time without receiving 'the money the bankrupt arrived, and held a eonveriatioll with Moe, who, it now appeared, knew nothing whatever about the EININe7 which - the *sour had said tint he had in his peememson. The baahrupt then fetched the ey from some place where he had had it concealed, and desired his father to pay it over to the of On being examined subsequently before the registrar, the bankrupt admitted the falsity of his denials respecting the money. and further that it was also untrue about his father having known anything about the money. The jury found the prisoner Gielrg, and The learned Commissioner, in sentenee, said it was the clearest and mart scandalous case of an attempt to defraud creditors of their mosey that be had ever heard. The prisoner was sentenced to 16 months' imprisonment with hard labour. 24011111ERN CIRCIIIT.—LryzarooL, Ava. 13. Nisi Paws Counr.—(Before Mr. Justice Hannon.) BANDBOX v. =3171410N BANKING AND INTROTJUDIT COM PANY (Leurran). In this ewe, Mr. Holker, Q.C. t and Mr. Cottingham were for the plaintiff, Mary Harrison, a widow, who re sides with her brother at Hannon, in Leicestershire ; Mr. Manisty, Q.C., and Mr. Leresehe far the defendants, whocarry on buiineesat Bolton. . The action was to re cover some title-deeds which the defendants alleged in their pleadings had been deposited with them as security for certain advances of money. They also traversed the property in.the deeds, and pleaded further thakthey did not detain them. The Plaintiff's case was that the deeds were deposited with the defendants by her daughter-in law under the following circumstances. After e'death of her husband, Mrs. Harrison saved a sum of money ; and in August, 1862, she resided with her son, John Har rison, at Berlford Leigh, near Manchester, in a cuttage, whiff with an adjoining one, she purchafied for the sum of 240/. odd. In the following August her brother's wife died, and at his request she went to live with her brother in Leicestershire as his housekeeper. The title-deeds of her property were left in a hoe at her son's house, and she instructed him before leaving to receive the rents on her behalf. In December, 1866, her eon's wife, unknown to her husband, got into debt with a shopkeeper named Dean, in the neighbourhood of Bedford Leigh, to the amount of 121. or 141., and being pressed for payment she got possession of the deeds, and in company with Mrs. Dean took them to defendants' bank in Bolton in tho fol lowing June, and received an advance upon them of 271. Subsequently further advances were made to the amount altogether of upwards of 601., the plaintiff's daughter-in-law and the woman Dean signing joint promissory notes for the repayment of the money. Subsequently the plaintiff's son end. his wife quarrelled, and having received a letter from her son in ecember last, the plaintiff went to Bedford Leigh, and was in formed of what bad taken place. The daughter-in-law apologised for her conduct, and handed over the docu ments she had received from the banking company. The plaintiff had since that time demanded the deeds, brit de fendants refused to deliver them. The learted counsel contended, ou behalf of defendants, that the case put forward by plaintiff was not only a very lamentable one, but that, if true, the person concerned in pledging the title deeds had been guilty of a very serious crime. The facts, however, could not be altered, and the question for the jury to settle was whether John and Mary Harrison had not received the authority of the plaintiff to pledge the deeds. The attesting witness to the deposit being dead, they had only the signature of the plaintiff s daughter-in-law and one, which the plaintiff herself had made in court, to judge by. His Lordship drew attention to the fact that in sup port of the plaintiff's case there was the positive evidence of the plaintiff herself that she had not given authority to pledge . the deeds, and the evidence of the witness Dean, who joined the plaintiff's daughter-in-law in the promis sory note to the bank. He saw nothing to nags ve the evidence, and thought it would be hopeless to struggle against a verdict for the plaintiff. He nevertheless con sidered it a very proper case to investigate. Mr. If olker remarked that a great Traub bad been per petrated, and those who committed it ought to be severely punished. _ His Lordship then directed a verdict for the plaintiff to be entered for the sum of 2401., to be redum.vl to le. on the deeds being delivered up. CROWN COURT.—(Before Chief Baron Kelly.) BRUTAL MANBLAUOTITIR OP John Jackson (53) wee indicted for killing Lie wife, at Birkett-bank, near Wigan, on the 22nd of June bud. The prisoner came home drunk, and found his wife out and the door locked. When she returned he quarrelled with her, and kicked her to such an extent, chiefly in the lower part of her body, that she crawled to an outhouse, and there died almost immediately. The learned Judge said that during a long life he had never heard of a more brutal and remorseless case.. - Jackson was sentenced to 14 years' penal servitude. WESTERN CIRCUIT.—BniSTOL, ArrouST 13. Null earna—(Before Baron Channell.) The court during the last two days has been occupied with two cases that have created much local interest. The first, Brown r. Thomas, was in connection with the sale of a number of mining shares, and with respect to which some serious charges were made. The evidence, as the learned judge remarked, was very con flicting. The question left to the jury was whether the defendant disposed of the shares in question, knowing that the statements he made to the plaintiff were false. The learned counsel for the defence did not think it necessary to address the jury, who after a long consulta tion returned a verdict for the defendant. The next case, Brown v. Hawkins and others, was one of libel, the plaintiff being a Bristol attorney, and the de fendante the printers and publishers of the Western ifo)-ning Newt. Mr. Prideaux, Q.C., Mr. Cole, Q.C., and Mr. Edlin appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., M.P., Mr. Kingdom Q.C., and Mr. Lopes, M.P., for the de fendants. The damages were laid at 6,00 W. The charge was that the plaintiff, at Plymouth, had sought the fraudulent establishment of a benefit building society, and had sent out circulars giving names of in fluential persons as managing directors without their authority. The libel appeared in the Western Morning News, in October, 1866, as follows : 11 • c•trnom " A prospectus has been printed and circulated of the Permanent Six per Cent. Investment Society.' This prospectus contains, amongst others, the name of Mr. Saunders, the managing proprietor of the Western Morn ing !Ctrs. This name less been inserted without any authority from Mr. Saunders, and a letter in another column shows that at least three other names have been intro duced equally without the knowledge or sanction of the gentlemen themselves. We should have imagined that the exposure which has followed similar attempts to use names without authority for the purpose of obtain ing public support which would not otherwise be given, would have prevented any renewal of the attempt. In this instance the case appears to be of a peculiarly auda cious character. If any one takes the trouble to read the us he will naturally feel surprised that such a prospectus lie will naturally feel surprised that such a document should he issued in connection with the names that appear upon the opposite page. The prospectus states that ' This society m restricted by law from invest ing any moneys except on mortgage of houses and lands . . . and it may be confidently affirmed that the secu rity to investors is superior to pnvute mortgages, or even to the Three per cent. comets, though yielding more than double the interest of console.' The society professes to issue 'debenture shares bearing six per cent. interest, payable half-yearly, with the punctuality of the govern ment funds: It also professes to receive de posits of any amount, bearing interest at five per cent., which may be withdrawn on giving 14 days' notice. As this society is restricted by law from investing any moneys except on mortgage, it is not clear how the do venters are to be repaid when they desire to withdraw their amounts ; but perhaps such manifest difficulties as these can be easily surmounted by managers who do net hesitate to use other people's names without their con sent. It is surprising that money can be obtained from the public upon such manifestly absurd • ; but it probably expected that many persons will read the named of the ' council of management' who do not read the prospectus, and that the apparent soundness of the one will compensate for the obvious folly of the other.' After protracted evidence had been heard, Mr. Co en fi rst submitted upon 'event grounds, which he specifi ed , that there was no case to go to the jury, and the plaintiff must be nonsuited. Mr. Baron Mennen said he could not say that there was no evidence for the jury to consider. Mr. Coleridge th en delivered a vary able speech for the defendants, contending that in the first place the article complained of was only a fair commentary quite within the license which the law and the policy of the age accorded to the newspaper pries ; and secondl that supposing the bounds of fair legitimate criticism lo have been passed, the remelts bad been shown even upon the evidence of the plaintiff and his witnesses fully justified by the facts. The learned counsel analysed the evidence, and confidently appealed for a verdict for the defendants. Mr. Baron Munson, in summing up, explained that commentary was not libellous if within fair paper and it would be for the jury to say whether or not they considered that those kende had been exceeded. The jury were locked up, end (as we learn by tele gram) were discharged at a late hour, being unable to agree. This doses the assize. NORTH WALES ClRCUlT.—Cairants, Allover 13.

J. Abbott, solicitor, appeared for the prosecution. From the evidence of the prosecutor and his wile it appeared that about a quarter to five o'clock yeeterday morning as Mrs. Pead entered the front parlour she fancied she observed the window curtain move. After waiting a moment or two she saw the prisoner come from behind. As soon as he caught sight of her he retreated to the open window. She sprang at and caught hold of him, at the same time crying aloud for her husband. The pri soner then commenced a most determined resistance, swore a terrible oath, struck her a violent blow on the side of the head with his clenched hand, at the same time dragging her with him in his progress towards the window, and trying to open the lower sash, with a view to effect an exit. By . the time prosecutor entered he had succeeded in opening the window, and as Mrs. read still clung tena ciously to him, he had dragged her half way out of the window as he sought to get away.

Jeerers, and /,191 391 8,119) iosse A Carr = MAX'S DRATH.—A fearful accident occurred on Tuesday, at the coal depot of Mr. W. i t:A Sunderland. The victim was a man named IliMuinnas, • coal Gartman, aged seventy-four years. About breakfast lima he west up to the laminae to try • berm he was about to take to Newcastle for sale, end attacked it to a laden coal waggon, which he endeavoured to make the animal draw into the coal depot. But the brute, being either restive or unwilling, refused. WEluinnees thereupon struck the animal with his whip, until the pain caused it to start forward, and be, aaable to get out of the way. was knocked down, with his head across the rail. The start of the hone net the coal waggon in motion, and before the bystanders could move a step to sate the unfortunate man, the wheel of the waggon parsed over his neck and killed him on the spot. When the people picked up the lifeless corpse they ware horrified to find that the head was nearly severed from the body. The fatal termination of deceased's life had often been fore t.ld by his neighbours. It was no unusual thing for him to lock the stable door and beat the =finds until the cries aroused those who lived near him. Pew dared to interfere, owing to the blasphemous language they received from him. Many, however, prophesied that his cruelty to the dumb animals would some day cause hie death. yo~Rummer; IN rum TEA DlYTT.—>Efatv4elen's at ielr~d~a~eew~rWW inasillhimpantsksact. swami Ism Bold say in gaeksaL-4414virlisemse1) i • • , j 1 i f ~ I , f yr , ~, .1 0 r tr el .11 t V4'' ra t 1 1 4 1 7 n.i. • pf i or , t. 8'1..1 I ' • i .9.1 t • - •1t: 1 / Irll4l - ' , :'• VII -11111DA.T... ,, EVEI4ISI6I, iirOUSI' . • 14, .. 19634 • torlL J PlClWlld'idarr • &UP EISOArrA.4.I.-..au. - , ind foram mut be twotv ---- o li„s thafac Ti ztommanr4torts g as titena ti„ of cathemtoof th il o YD ri tde f T"l 7i m f p. :c e t Y . g p seit Ev gl ian gigx" 'ven t straki slaamialtakaudFl° 74 . ll : re iii ii 7 nevi : in a - i i . is r .we ::: .., . - ::: "7aftedbk . 47 :: and wa tl e r ,' : , ..l - 1 , : " .,: 1-' ,.. d f i n-el . ... v i :v e sh ,.
