The Express. — London, England, 1866-12-11 00:00:00

THE EXPRESS', TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 11; 1800. v , 4 - - ZHE SMITHFIELD CLUB CATTLE SHCW. Two circumstances of special interest attend this year's return of the English bumf gras. In the first linos our minds are filled with the ravages of the riuderpest ; and in the second, our pockets are daily emptied by the exactions of the butchers, no that it will be an almost instinctive impulse with everyone to rush to the show and ascertain whether after all there may not be yet soma balm left in Islington. With respect to the rindexpest, we are happy to say that no traces of it are to be bend in the Agricultural Hall this year, although the graziers still shake their heads ominously, hint at isolated cases which have very recently occurred is various places, and predict that, following the 'readout of last century, •we are certain to lave another outbreak next year, until which time we suppose the butchers will not deem it exp edient to reduce their prices. The cattle, in fact, never looked more healthy or cheerful, although not quite so numerous as at former shows, and the general quality is quite up to the average. Prob ably we should have had a greater number, but that the exhibitors of Birmingham had been for bidden to come up, fifteen fatal cases of rindt laving, it is alleged, occurred in Warwickse within the last fortnight. With respect to prices, the fathers of large families will derive little com fort from a visit to the Agricultural Hall, the in mate conviction of every exhibitor there being that prime must go up still higher ; in fact, and, speaking conscientiously, not a man you speak to there would attempt to fix a maxi. mum. Still, the Dutch mutton is coming in of excellent quality, and in daily increasing quantity. It is sold at the wharf, East-lane, Smithfield, by the carcass, carefully trimmed and ready for the block, at from fourpence to sixpence the pound, and is, it is said, largely patronised by the metropo litan butchers, who retail it at from ninepence to tenpenoe the pound. There is something pusiding in all this, and the Smithfield show is exactly the place where one would naturally go for some enlightenment, but no one knows, or would condescend to know, anything about Dutch mutton there ; all they know is that English mutton is not half dear enough, but must ine vitably rule much higher before the termination of next year. However, putting the vulgar questions of price and the sto machsi of the poorer classes aside, the Smithfield show of this year is well worth a visit. The Herefords display all their pen drous dignity, coupled with a considerable advance in symmetry, and would have had this year the gold medalli st in their ranks but for a sad accident which happened to Mr. Bethridge's magnificent oz. The poor animal had its leg broken in transit, and had at once to be slaugh tered, leaving the red ribbon of the year to deck, for the second time since the institution of the show, the brow of a cross bred animal. The for tunate winner of the first prize, known as the gold medal, but which is in fact a silver cup, was bred by Mr. R. H. Harris, Earn Hill, Forree, Moray shire, and is a cross between our English short horn and the Scotch polled breed. It is a splendid animal, red, and smooth in the body like the English cattle, but fierce and hirsute about the head, like the Highland steers, and is perfect in all the points of a good ox. The select few who visited the show yesterday unanimously concurred in the award of the judges in this case. We have put the cross-breeds first because one of their class took the first prize, but except for that reason there is nothing in the class, as a class, to entitle it to prominence above the pure breeds. Speaking generally, the Scots form the finest portion of the exhibition. For years past we have gradually ob served their approximation to perfection, and now it is conceded to them on all hands. Fierce, rugged, and leonine, or at least bisonie, as they are in appearance, they have the finest forms, and are convertible into the finest beef in the world. For the first three years of their lives they roam about wild in their native heather, where their rugged coats stand them in good stead, and then, when they are taken into the stall, the tine constitutions which they have acquired in the bracing mountain air enable them thoroughly to assimilate their food, and thus to make the beef which is the pride of the London market. The finest Highland steer in the show, perhaps in the world, is the animal exhibited by James Stewart, of Newmarket, Aberdeen, and which gets the first prize in its class. The judges bad great difficulty in deciding between this beast and the cross-breed, and it was only some minor points of symmetrical detail, which would be mere caviare to the general, that decided them in favour of the latter. The Devons, although still represented from the Windsor farina, have not the prominence they used to obtain during the life time of the Prince Con sort. They are less numerous than on former occasions, and there is no particular case of excep tional beauty to attract the public to the class. The short horns are a remarkably fine class, but the various other breeds have sent up nothing very remarkable, although all may be said to present a high average quality. A special word must, however, be said for the cows in the various classes, many of which are remarkably tine, and would, if it were possible ever to make cow beef equal to ox beef, run a hard race with their competitors of the rougher sex. Foremost amongst the cows is the short horn exhibited by Mr. Strat ton, a name often recorded in the chronicles of Islington. This splendid creature is nearly four years old, has had two calves, and yet is expected to give considerably upwards of two hundred atone of prime beef. The sheep muster numerously and well, and thrust their heads over their pens with a trium phant expression of countenance, as if they knew that a single chop of them would not go under eighteen pence a pound. The strife between the Duke of Richmond and Rigden of Hove no longer gives interest to the show, for the great patron of the South Downs is dead, and his sturdy antagonist, as if despising any meaner rival, no longer seeks a front rank place. We were happy to see, however, that the present Duke of Richmond preserves the famous Goodwood breed, and still more rejoiced to learn that he had obtained a high prize. The head of the class is, however, Lord Walsingham, whose pen is every thing that could be desiderated both in wool and mutton. We observed that the sheep, like all the other animals, looked much fresher and livelier than we had noticed them at previous shows, a fact which we attributed to the comparative coolness of the day and the excellent ventilation of the hall. We must except, however, the prize cross-bred ox from this eulogium. It was with great difficulty he could be persuaded to stand whilst the judges scanned hie points, and from the moment the red rosette had been stuck under his number he laid himself comfortably down, and refused to give up his recumbent posture for the rest of the evening. He had done enough for fame, and felt that he was entitled to rest on his laurels. _ _ Pigs, which, in consequence of the enormous prices of beef and mutton, are becoming daily of greater importance, are this year a tine show—as fat, but more shapely, more lively, and decidedly more rational and well-behaved than in former years. When they stana, they stand with grace and dignity ; when they lie down, they recline with tranquil composure. They make no unearthly noises, but seem bent upon enjoying the short span that remains to them of life in a becoming manner. The secret of this is that they have plenty of room and plenty of fresh air ; they are neither too hot nor too cold, and they have not been fattened up to the point of disease and semi-suffocation. Like all the rest of the world, the swineherds are beginning to be rational. They breed carefully, feed scientifically, and give their interesting stock plenty of exercise during the period of youth and adolescence. They do not now try simply for a fat pig, but a fat pig that has plenty of lean in him ; and this year they confidently believe that they have achieved their object. Anothel thing they have discovered is, that a pig that is fed until all his hair drops off is not a wholesome animal to eat. Every hog has now a reasonable quantity of hair on his hide : and he feels vastly more comfortable — Mr. Christopher Cattle, of Wisetoa Grange, Barmy, Yorkshire, a gentleman who has devoted forty years to the culture of pigs, is the most successful exhibitor in this class. Like the gold medallist amongst the horned cattle, Mr. Cattle's pigs are of mixed breed, and are adm i rable specimens of shape, meat, and liveliness. Wales sends nothing to the show in any class, except three or four steers and one venerable cow, that looks like a relic of the Druidical times, and whose chief merit, like that of the Dorseta h ire labourer, is that she has brought up a large family without any maistance from the parish. Ireland sends nothing, but for a reason which is not after all unsatisfactory. The indigenous cattle of " Old" Ireland—of the Ireland of Malachi and Brian Borohme—were of only two aorta—the tall, bony cows o 2 the plains with tre mendous horns, and the sprightly little " Kerries," which take their name from the picturesque counLy in which they are "raised." For years the Irish farmers have been improving both breeds " off the face of the earth " by the introduction of the Eng lish short horn, which has thriven so well in Ireland as to have almost exterminated the aboriginal cettle. Ever since the rinderpest commenced its ravages in England we have been indebted to the slater country for abort-horn " stores," and it is to the preference given by the Irish farmers for the Saxon short-horn that we are to attribute the ab sence of the sprightly Kerries and the long horned Milesians from this year's Smithfield show. The club which is the promoter of the annual exhi bition was established o-iginally for the purpose of encouraging the fattening of cattle, and therefo-e confined its attention exclusively to the larger breeds. Now, however, that physio l ogical scienc e has discovered that mere fat is not always an ad vantage, but often a disease, it might be possible to give greater variety as well as utility to the show, by encouraging the exhibition of every variety of cattle. Tbere is ro pure race that has not some special good quality of its o-rn ' and the advantages o. cross breeding are proved already, by the success of Mr. Stewart's ox and Mr. Cattle's pigs. The arrangements of the Hall, for which Mr. Samuel Sidney is specially responsible, are excel lent. The cattle are well placed both for exhibi tion and for their own comfort, and the classes are easily found by reference to the catalogue. Every precaution has been taken in case any symptom of illness should appear, and disinfectants have been copiously used in every quarter of the interior. The refreshment department, which is under the direction of Mr. Rndkin, of the " Salutation," is admirably arranged and abundantly supplied with substantial viands, and the bazaar at the end of the Hall, which was, we believe, opened for the first time last year, is again filled with every article likely to be in demand amongst the show visitors. tato inteffignue. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.—Dsc. 10. After Term Nisi Prins Sittings st Westminster.--glefore the Lord Chief Justice end Common Juries.) HARWOOD r. THB SOUTH EASTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. This was an action to recover damages for loss resulting from the non-delicery of 700 sacks b 1 the defendants. Mr. J. Browne, Q.C., and Mr. Ridge were counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. Buller wu counsel for the defendants. The cue involved no point of interest, and ultimately a verdict was taken for the plaintiff with nominal damages, la. ; with leave to move the full court to increase the I amount. THODSHAII V. BALTZL This was an action to recover the sum of 5&. on a bill of exchange. Mr. H. James was counsel for the plaintiff ; Hr. Hoff appeared for the defendant. The plaintiff is a bill discounter, and it appear's d that the defendant and a person called Ford bad had bill trans actions together. The bill in question was discounted for Ford by the plaintiff through a friend giving 471. odd for it. The defence was that the bill was a forgery. The jury ultimately returned a verdict for the de fendant. This closed the sittings. The court will sit to-day at Guildhall. supper, Mrs. Dolton interfered, and the prisoners theneir violently aniaulted her, and succeeded in making th way Thurkettle, and wounded him so seriously' that he had to be taken to the hospital. The prisoners then left the house, but were apprehended the same nht. . Mr. Yeatman said, as the prisoners had pleaded guilty to unlawfully wounding, be should not offer evidence on the charge of intending to do grievous bodily harm. The learned Judge thought that all parties had acted wiser. As the prisoners had alreedy undergone some im prisonment, he should sentence them to one month's im prisonment with bard labour. NORTHERN ClRClllT.—MArrosgsrag., Dac. 10. Osovrer COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice Blackburn.) RANCRESTER STAMP OFFICZ ROBUST. Charles Batt, 49, Charter Leeson, 86, William Douglas, 34, and Thomas Douglas, 41, were charged with entering the Stamp-office at Manchester on May 26, and stealing • number of bill stamps, value 10,0001. Hon. A. Liddell, Q.C., Mr. West, Q.C., and Mr. Hutton wee for the prosecution ; and Serjeant Simon, th e , Mr. Cottingham, Mr. Helsel, and Mr. Holks for pri- sonars. Mr. John Halton, chief clerk to the Hon. Edward Howard, distributor of stamps at Manchester, said he had held that office 21 years. The office was in Cross-street, Moult-street, Newmarket, and Robinson - stre et at the office on the 26th May, and left at noon, the day bei n g a half-holiday. Left by the back entrance. Before leav ing saw the patent safe and locked it, putting the key in his pocket. Did not see bow the doors were secured, ex cept their own. They had three doors (inner doors), all of which were locked by himself. The stamps left in the safe were to about 16,0001. They had received a consignment on the 19th May of stamps, of which be signed the in voice. Amongst those were 192 1/. inland bill stamps on the usual paper sent to ns at Manchester. They were safe there on the Saturday. Went to the office again on Mon day morning at nine. Entered by the passage in Cross street. The locks of the first two doors were as usual, but the doors were obstructed, and there were 6,0001. transfer stamps on the obstruction left in the safe on Saturday. For this and other reasons he suspected some thing wrong, and went into the office, where he found the safe had been opened. (Described its position.) The pri soner Batt came in shortly before the office closed on the Saturday before the robbery, and purchased a half-crown bill stamp.) Jas. Bates said he went to the stamp-office on the Satur day preceding the robbery. Saw Batt in the lobby. He saw him standing there between 12 and 1 o'clock. It was in the batik entrance from Cross-street. At the door of the same entrance saw another man, who asked him if there was a closet there. Batt walked out while he was speak ing to the other man. Next saw Batt when he was be fore the Manchester magistrates. Joseph Swain German was at the beginning of the year in Leeson's service, at the Crystal Fountain, Kennington road, as potboy. Knew Thomas and William Douglas. Had seen them often atLeeson's house.' They came two or three days a week. Sometime* they went into the bar, and sometimes to Hyde-park, for betting. Sometimes saw a wooden-legged man, named Shaw, there. Robert France, a messenger in London, standing at the corner of Wellington-street. Was there on 19th July, and Butt and Leeson come to him, and two others were near. They asked him for direction to the Stamp Department of Somerset-house, and asked him to show them. Leeson gave Batt a piece of paper, something like a Si. note folded. Butt went into the office and Leeson went away. That was about one o'clock. About three or four in the afternoon the other two prisoners came to him and said they had loot their friend, Mr. Rawlinson,land they came again at e i g ht, When Butt went into Somerset-house Leeson said he should have to go there next morning. The Douglasses, when they came to him at eight, asked about a nice place of amusement. Saw them again wt. the place where he stood next morning. Saw Wil liam Douglas afterwards at Lewes races, and pointed him out to Thompeon, police o ffi cer. Cross-examined by Mr. Holker—Remembered the date of the 19th August, because it was the day he went on an important message fora gentleman. Did not put it down in his diary. Did you tell a lie, then, when you said so before the magistrate? Mr. Liddell objected to the question. Mr. Milker pointed out • passage in the examination as justifying the question, but the judge ruled otherwise. William Moller, of the Manchester police, said in Whit sun week he was on duty in Cross-street, and saw the prisoner William Douglas on the 26th May. Saw him five or six times between 9 and half-past ten at night. Saw him once within • few yards of the Stamp-office. He was always on one side the street—opposite the Stamp-office. By Serjeant Simon—Picked him out from eight or nine others. Saw him on the night of the robbery in Cross street, and passed him within a quarter of a yard. Next time he saw him was at the Albert-street police-station. William Henry Floyd, clerk in the Stamp-office, was there on Friday, 25th May. Sold no I/. bill stamp on that day. Saw the prisoner Leeson coming down the stairs at the back of the office. Picked him out from 14 or 15 other prisoners at the police office. George Ranger, of the Metropolitan G division of police, said in July last he went to Leeson's house, and saw Butt there talking to Leeson. That was before Butt was ap prehended. When Butt was examined the second time at Bow-street he saw him brought out and placed in the van. Saw something which be took to be a paper of tobacco given to a man named Shaw, whom he traced to Leeson's beerhouse. Had since seen W. Douglas there. Joseph Peen, messenger, said he was at the corner of Wellington-street, Strand, opposite to where France stood, on the 19th July. Saw three persons, including Thomas and William Douglas, come up and speak with France, and afterwards saw France direct one of them to Somerset house who resembled the prisoner Bum t. William Douglas came and asked him which was the commissionaire. Richard Peacock Walker, examiner of spoiled stamps at Somerset-house—On the 19th July the prisoner Batt came and presented aIL spoiled bill stamp. He said it was his property, and he spoiled the stamp. Witness related some questions he put to the prisoner, with the answers. Meanwhile he referred to a list of the stolen stamps at Manchester, and finding the one presented to correspond-17-5-66—he consulted with the secretary, and gave him in charge. By Mr. Hoiker—lf all had been right the prisoner would have got another stamp and the money. William Cumming, of the warehouse department at Somerset-house, said the stamp produced was of the same size and quality of paper as that supplied to Manchester, Liverpool, and Blackburn. Henry Charles Ready, originator of warrants for stamps, issued from Somerset-house, proved that the stamp pro duced was one of those issued to Mr. Howard, of the Win chester Stamp-office, on the 17th May. The stamps bear the date of stamping. A London detective, who took some drills in Batt's lodgings, was examined, and an expert in such tools was under examination when our report left. It was doubtful whether the case would be completed yesterday. Mr. Gabriel Berlin wee them caned, and proved that he was one of the firm of Meyer and Berlin, the claimants in the present case. On receiving notice to treat and agree on the :7th February last they consulted Mears. Green, the accountants, of Bt. Ilichaersalley, to prepare ther i claim for compen sa tion, which was duly made out and delivered to the company (who sent to Messrs. Green for it) on the 15th March last. After that some gentlemen from the firm of Capes and HAMS called to inspect the books of the firm on the part of the company. This was done, and he (witness) WU told by_ them that the claim was ve r y fair, and the company wouM r e q uire parades of the premises v ery soon. The premises were afterwards inspected by the surveyor and valuer, and witness and his partner out for, and after great difficulty obtained and took otherlooked premises in which to carry on their business. In his cross-examination by Mr. Burchell, The witness stated that the business was chiefly carried on by correspondence, that the firm kept no shop, and did not pend upon chance business. Hr. Baco t Green, the ainountant. was called, and proved that he had pared the claim in the present case, and that it was fair equitable. Mr. Barton was recalled, and stated that the firm had received a letter from the company demanding payment to them of the rent of the premises. This was after the com pany had settled with the landlord, Mr. Sheen, for his interest. Mr. Bernard Cowin was also called, and proved that he heard the conversation between the claimants and the gentleman who attended from Messrs. Capes and Harris, in which the latter stated that the claim was trite fair, and that the company would require the premaes soon, and that they (the claimants) had better look out for other premises. Mr. Burohell said that the case of the claimants having closed, it became his duty to repeat the objection he had raised at the outset to the jurisdiction of this court in the matter. He submitted that under the authority of the Court of Queen's Bench, in the case of " The Queen v. Alderman Stone," something mare was necessary than the service of a notice to treat and agree, end that to give a magistrate jurisdiction there must be a notice demanding ion of the premises besides. This was distinctly 'd down by Chief Justice Cockburn, and that decision had been confirmed, as he bad already elated, by the learned judges, Mr. Justice Blackburn and Mr. Justice Lush. The only attempt to prove natioe for possession was in the casual conve rsa tion which had been spoken to as having passed between the claimants and the gentleman sent by Messrs. Capes and Harris, who could not be held to be the agents of the company for that purpose. On these grounds he contended that the question of compen sation could not be entertained for want of jurisdiction, and therefore he submitted that the summons must be dismissed. Mr. Russell replied at some length, maintaining that the acts of the company showed the intention to take posses sion of the premises, and were equivalent to a formal notice. The inspection of the claimants' books by the ac countants of the company was consistent only with their intention to take possession of the premises. The Lord Mayor (after conferring with the chief clerk) o bserved that he had carefully reed and considered the decision of the Court of Queen's Bench to which he bad been referred, and which clearly showed that something beyond a notice to treat was essential. Had there been the requisite notice for possession ? That rested upon the evidence of • mere casual conversation, which he could not construe into a notice. The conversation was vague and indefinite, and did not amount to a notice for posses sion. It therefore appeared to him, looking at the lan guage of the Lord Chief Justice in the case " The Queen v. Alderman Stone" that in this case the requ of irements of the 'Ands Clauses , Consolidation Act of 1845 had not been complied with, and therefore the present summons must be dismissed. Mr. Burchell said that on behalf of the company he should not ask for oasts. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Vitioire de Last*, a French prostitute, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing two 5/. Bank notes and a half-sovereign, the moneys of Mr. Charles Fyddon, surgeon, Highworth, Wilts, and James Kay, described as a lodging-house keeper, of 39A, Howland-street, Fitzroy square, and formerly a police-sergeant, was charged with being concerned in the robbery. Mr. Abrams appeared for the prisoners. The prosecutor met the female prisoner in Regent-street on Saturday night, and accompanied her to 39A, Howland street. There he missed the two 5/. notes and • half sovereign. He then got a constable, and gave the female prisoner (who denied the robbery) into custody. Subse quently the male prisoner, who was known by the police to be living with the female prisoner, w a s suspected of being concerned in the robbery, and he was taken into custody. Mr. Abrams cross-examined the prosecutor at some length, and he admitted that he bad been the same even ing to the Haymarket Theatre and the Alhambra Palace, and that he had not seen the notes since the afternoon, but that he had several times felt them in his pocket. Sergeant Banger, E division, said that he was fetched by the prosecutor to t ake the prisoner into custody. He went to the house, and told the female prisoner the charge, but she denied having the prosecutor's money. He searched the house, and there was no one in the house butthe female prisoner. He could not find the notes. 'He took the pri soner to the station. Mr. Abrams addressed the magistrate for the prisoners, urging that it was only • case of suspicion. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoners till Monday, and refused bail. THE SUPPOSED MURDER AT ROMFORD. Mr. W. H. Clifton, the coroner for the liberties, opened an inquiry on Friday evening at the Rising Sun Tavern, Render& into the circumstances touching the death of Simon Godfrey, whose body was found on the preceding morning in the river Rom, under circumstances that gave rise to suspicion of the deceased gentleman having met with foul treatment. The jury having viewed the body, Rowland Gregg Godfrey, son of the deceased,was called, and deposed to the identification of the body as that of his father. lie lived at 209, City-road. He was a boat builder. Witness last saw him alive on Wednesday night, at his own house, about a quarter-past 7 o'clock. At that time the deceased appeared as usual, namely, in very good spirits ;he was ordinarily cheerful. Witness said ho knew nothing whatever—either pecuniary, domestic, or otherwise - that could have induced his fatherto commit suicide. The deceased left home with the intention of taking ',walk. He was not in the habit of staying avray from home all night without first of all making his family ac quainted with his intention to do so. Witness did not think that his father intended staying out all night, from the fact of uis taking the latch-key with him. He had some money when he left, but witness could not say how much. He also wore a great coat. Deceased lived with his family, and had not been in any occupation e urir.g the past three months. Three months ago he worked for a boatbuilder, bet he had means independent of work. His habits were regular. He was a particularly sober man. William Henry Barlow, • labourer in the employ of the Great Eastern Railway C ompany, said that as he was going to his work on Thursday morning, about half-past five, he saw s. hat and umbrella on the embankment of the river. The hat was much besmeared with blood and dirt. The umbrella was also very muddy. Witness could not say how far the umbrella lay from the hat, but certainly not more than four or five feet. Witness did not see any great coat, nor any wearing apparel whatever. Robert Gregory, who was in company with the foregoing witness, corroburated in detail the evidence adduced by him. William Dennis, the police-constable who found the body, having deposed to receiving the hat and umbrella produced from the last witness, went ou to state that he and Sergeant Gilpin found • l arge quantity of blood on the rails of the bridge ovet the river, and • small quantity on the footway of the bridge itself. The body was subse quently found in the river, and conveyed to the Sun Inn. Witness subsequently went to London, and found that the deceased lodged at the address which was written in his hat, namely, "'lO9, City-road." Witness saw nothing of the greatcoat thc deceased was said to have had on when he left home. When the deceased was taken out of the water his pockets were turned inside out. George Sbee, sergeant of police, said that be searched the cloth.s of the deceased. In the waistcoat pocket he found four halfpence, a latch key, a pair of spectacles and case, and a small piece of pencil. In the cost pocket a pair of gloves and a pocket handkerchief. The waistcoat was nut unbuttoned. Mr. Levey, surgeon, at Romford, deposed that he had viewed the body of the deceased. In the throat there was a large transverse wound between four and five inches in length, exposing the upper part of the windpipe, which was notched in front with two parallel notches, but not penetrated. None of the large vessels of the neck were severed, and no structures of importance so injured as to constitute the cause of death. Upon care fully examining the edge of the wound witness found that the division of the skin had not been effected by one, but by repeated cuts, the notches in the edges of the skin showing at least eleven strokes of • cutting in strument. Such • wound would not only be insufficient to cause death, but it would not cause sufficiently copious and sudden flow of blood to speedily induce faintness. Witness examined the bead, neck, hands, and wrists of the deceased, but found no traces of contusions. He also observed that there was no cut in the neckcloth or band of the shirit. The deoeased, he said, was a man of power ful build and large muscular development. He further stated that the distance from where the deceased's body was found to the river side was so short that • man with such a wound in his neck would have had no difficulty in walking it. In witness's opinion the wound was self-inflicted, and death was produced by drowning. He then went on to say that during the infliction of the wound the head and neck must have been steadily kept in one position, receiving at least eleven strokes of the instrument with which it was done, and the chin must have been raised. Those two reasons, in his opinion, strongly controverted the idea of murder, for he believed it would be impossible to keep • man of the powerful build of the deceased sufficiently quiet during the infliction of so many strokes of the knife as that all these strokes should be in the same straight line of wound as in the case of the deceased. Moreover, a man defend ing himself from the attempt to cut his throat would in stinctively bring down the chin towards the cheat, which would make It extremely difficult, if not impossible, to iniliet just molt a wound es that in the threat at the BAIL COURT.—Dzc. 10. - - - - After Term Nisi Prius gs at .—(Before Mr. Justice Bhee mad Common Juries.) RANSOM v. RAUTON.-ALLEGED SEDUCTION. (Concluded from yesterday's Express). After lunch the further hearing of the case was con tinued in the Court of Common Pleas in consequence of the insufferable state of the Bsil Court from its over• crowding. Joseph Hinton, known as " The General " was next called. His appearance in the box, from his di minutive size and boyish appearance, caused ex pressions of surprise from the audience. He said I Next August I shall be sixteen years of age. know Bewley Ranson. In the summer of 1864 I was at my grardmother'• She always goes to bed about three o'clock. I was in the garden with Ramsey Ranson. (The witness then detailed the diagnsang conduct that took place between them both in the garden and the house, such as has never been detailed in a court of justice within the recollection of the oldest member of the bar or officer of the court.) The witness exhibited an amount of youthful depravity which it is impossible to conceive. He gave his evidence as if it was a capital joke, laughing as the questions were put to him and he gave his answers. His shoulders just reached the top of the witness box.) Joseph Wade—l am a thatcher, cousin to Win. Wade. I met George Hinton near the defendant's house one evening, and we watched Remy Ranson and Geo. Pea -1 cocke's conduct. (Witness described what took place.) Where he saw them was about 100 yards from her father's house, and 6 or 7 yards from the defendant's house. Ann Holland—l am a servant living at the Ashley Plough public-house. I was at Mrs. Rump's sonic time before last Christmas. Elizabeth came home one night a bout half- pa s seven o'clock from Newmarket, Her dress on that occasion was dirty round the bottom, and she took it off, washed it, and dried it in the mom where I Was at work. The remainder of her evidence was objected to and not pressed. This was the defendant's case. Mr. 11. Chambers proposed to call evidence to show the girl's general good conduct in answer to the evidence that had been produced against her on the part of the de fendant. Mr. O'Malley objected, and after some argument Mr. Chambers withdrew his proposition. Mr. O'Malley, in addressing the jury, said that nothing was more painful to counsel than to have to wade through the filthiness of a case such as this, and which was not diminished in the least degree by the ready greeting which avowals of the most shameless description elicited some times from a portion of the nadieroe who attend courts of justice. The question, however, was not what the filthiness of the case might be, or what early depravity it might reveal that existed in Bowe rural districts, but whether the defendant, who was a man in a respectable position, and engaged for a long time to be married, was through false delicacy and tenderness for the reputation of one who had made a false charge against him to suffer himself to be made the victim here and to be adjudged by them guilty of that of which he knew be never was guilty, and of which he bad most solemnly sworn he never was guilty. The parties were all rela tions ; the same family . tie bound the witnesses and it was a remarkable circumstance that the views of the family, which was not without its import, were in favour of the defendant and not of the plaintiff. The facts detailed by the boys had been given with that boyish sim plicity which the learned counsel for the plaintiff had been unable to shake. A point had been made against the de fendant that be was a betting man. Now that was not the case • but even if he were so, and was the friend of jockeys and 'trainers, be hoped that would not render him un worthy of belief. From p rime ministers downwards—he would not my bishops or ju d g es—(laughter)—society had been addicted to it, but be hoped it would not be con sidered by them that to be contaminated in that way, if it could be considered so, made a man unworthy of belief in a court of justice. This WY a felony if anythtng; and could anyone doubt that with this evidence the defendant would have been acquitted upon such a charge ? Could they, therefore, fail to give him a verdict in this action. Mr. Chambers then, at considerable length, replied on the whole case. The charge against the defendant was probable and possible, or, if not, medical evidence would have been called to show its impossibility. Finished vice was capable of availing itself of every opportunity and place of attacking innocence, and ruining unprotec t ed virtue. The defendant had been guilty of conduct towards this poor girl which unfortunately was too often practised towards females of tender years. The learned Judge, in summing up, said that no doubt it would be impossible, or next to impotaible, for any jury on this evidence to convict the de.endarl of rape. It might very well be that a young woman attacked in this way resisted, struggled, and screamed, and yet, after all, yielded. The great probability would be that if she had been attacked in this way she would have told her mother when she came home, instead of going to his mother's house. She was not confirmed in any one mate rial circumstance of what happened on that occasion. She made no suggestion to any one that the defendant had so assaulted her until she was in the family way. The child, however, was born nine months from the time when she said the offence was committed. The evidence that she was of a loose and abandoned character, if they believed it, must have an effect on the reliance they could place upon her statement. The learned judge having greatly con demned the profligacy which the case bed developed , The jui y were locked up at 6 o'clock. They, at 8 o'clock, sent to say there was not the least chance of their agrreing to a verdict. The learned judge declined to discharge them before 10 o'clock. should they not agree in the mean time. As no agreement had been come to at that time, the jury were ultimately discharged. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.—DEc. 10. Sittings at Nisi Prius in London.—(Before Lord Chief Justice Bosill and a Special Jury.) POTTER AND OTBIBS V. RANKIN. . _ . This was an action upon a policy of insurance for 4,000/. upon the freight of the ship Sr W. Eyre, which was to go to New Zealand, thence to Calcutta, and afterwards home to Liverpool. At New Zealand the vessel got aground more than once ; but she was believed to be not very seriously damaged, and she went to Calcutta. There she underwent a thorough exarnination,and the conclusion arrived at was that it would cost more to repair her than she would be worth when repaired, and therefore the un derwriters were served with notice of abandonment. While correspondence upon this state of matters was going on the ship was struck by the cyclone that happened in October, 1i364, and wrecked. The question now was whether the ship had been so injured that the damage amounted to a constructive total loss. Sir G. Honyman, Q.C., Mr. Hannen, and Mr. Langdon appeared for the plaintiffs ; Mr. Edward James, Q.C., Mr. Mellish, Q.C., and Mr. Cohen for the defendant. The case will be a long one ; and the opening speech and the examination of the captain occupied the whole of the day. SECOND COURT.

The plaintiff in this case had received an advance of 15(V. from the defendant upon the security of some silk which the defendant afterwards sold, and the question now was whether the goods were placed in the defendant's hands to sell upon commission, or whether he had no authority to sell. Mr. Besley appeared for the plaintiff ; Mr. Serjeant Tindal Atkinson and Mr. Turner for the defendant. The jury, after hearing evidence on both sides, found for the plaintiff, and awarded him the full amount of his claim, 73/. 9s. Ild. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—NorriNGHam, Dec. 10. (Before Mr. Baron Channell.) Robert Doherty (2t), Michael Tracey (25), and Robert Burke (27), all bricklayers, were charged with maliciously wounding Elizabeth Dalton and Robert Thurkettle, on the 15th of October, with intent to do them grievous bodily harm. Mr. Yeatman was for the prosecution, and Mr. Briatowe and Mr. Mellor for the defence. By the advice of their counsel the prisoners pleaded guilty to the lesser charge in the indictment, of unlawfully wounding. The prisoners were trades unionists, and on the 15th of October went to the house of Mrs. Dalton (who keeps an eating-house) where some of the non-unionists were lodging. A strike was pending between the master and journeymen bricklayers, and some operatives bad been brought from Yarmouth to work in Nottingham, and these lodged at Mrs. Dalton's. The prisoners went to Jimmy the non-anion men, and wishing to tarot their way iato a ' bask room, where Tharksttis was sitting igiWn his THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION-HOUSE. A cue connected with railway compensation came on for hearing before the Lord Mayor, and appeared to excite considerable interest. It was in the form of a summons issued at the instance of Messrs. Meyer and Berlin, com mission agents and importers of foreign goods, carrying on business at No. 1, Liverpool-street, Finsbury-square, to compel compensation from the Metropolitan Railway Com pany, for certain premises in the occupation of the claimants, and required by the company for the works contemplated by the set under which they are incor porated. Mr. C. Russell, barrister-at-law, appeared for the claimants ; and the company was represented by Mr. Burchell, their solicitor. When the case was called on, Mr. Burchell took a preliminary objection to the juris diction of the Lord Mayor, on the ground of an informality in the summons, and information upon which the summons had been issued. The learned gentleman in support of the objection cited the judgment of Lord Chief Justice Cockburn, which had been concurred in by Mr. Justice Blackburn and Mr. Justice Lush, in the case of the Queen v. Alderman Stone, in a similar matter to the present, and reported in the Law Journal &porta, vol. 35. After some discussion, The Lord Mayor, after conference with the chief clerk, decided that he would hear the facts of the case before him prior to giving any opinion on the question of juris diction, which would depend upon the facts proved. Mr. C. Russell then proceeded to open the case on the part of the claimants, and stated that they were com mission agents and importers of foreign goods, and carried on their business in three rooms at No. 1, Liverpool-street, which they held under a Mr. Sheen, at a rental of 701. per annum. They were yearly tenants, and with notice from the landlord their term could not expire until March next. Mr. Sheen had a five or six years' tenancy to run. and the claimants still continued his tenants. On the 27th February in the present year the claimants re ceived from the Metropolitan Railway Company a notice, stating that they required to purchase and take the premises occupied by the claimants, for the purposes of their railway as shown in the plans and schedules lodged with the clerk of the peace. The notice to " treat and agree " was issued under the provisions of the 121st section of the Lands Clauses Consolidation Act, of 1845, and in reply to it the claimants sent in their claim for compensation as tenant, at will. The claim was for 1001. for loss of premises, and 2501. for loss by removal, transfer of stock, and inter ference with their business, making the amount of the total claim 3501. On receipt of the claim the company deputed Messrs. Capes and Harris, the accountants, of Adelaide-place, London-bridge, to examine the books of the claimants in order to ascertain and report upon the validity and fairness of the claim. This was done, and the report was made by those gentlemen, after en examination of the books of six days' duration. After the matter had stood over for some time, the claimants believing that their premises would be taken by the company under the notice to " treat and agree," actually took other premises for their business, and were now actually paying double rent in consequence of the noo.fuUllment of their notice. He should prove these facts, and having done so, he should be quite content to take s formal order, subject to a special case on any question of law thatmight arias foe the decision of any of the rarsioceoarts at Wootrdnoko.. .I 1 I . ! \., i • , 1 ! 1, *parting *nteltigience. TATTERSALL'S.-MONDAY. A thin muster, in keeping with the deadness of the season, assembled at the rooms to-day, and although the transactions of the afternoon were of a desultory character, there was, from first to last, a fair amount of business done. Speculation on the Two Thousand Guineas, which up to the present moment has proved a dead letter, exhi bited to-day signs of vitality. For this event Plaudit was in great force, and was backed freely for several hun dreds at 4 to 1. A few investments were made upon Hermit at 5 to 1, but the support awarded to Mr. Chap lin's colt vas of a very tame c - ; Grand Cross and Marksman were backed at their respective quotations, and uow that interest has been awakened there will no doubt be a good deal of speculation on this apparently open race. For the Derby, the Rake maintained his posi tion of premier unshaken; in the course of the afternoon he was backed at 15 to 2, which price was o ff ered at the close, but if half a point more had been conceded, be would have been entrusted with several addi tional hundreds. Plaudit was scarcely so firm as he has been lately, a circumstance which may be traced to the report that the owner has determined to start his horse for the Two Thousand ; hence his retrogression for his later engagement and his advance for the earlier. Never theless, the longest odds offered were 9 to 1, and this only towards the close of the afternoon, when possibly the sup porters of Major Elwon's colt were not present. D'F.stour- I net, who, though quiet, has a healthy aspect, was backed at 12 to 1. Hermit was not in quite such good odour as he was last week, 15 to 1 being offered with out meeting with a response. 100 to 6 was offered against the Dragon and 25 to 1 each agst Grand Cross and Master Butter fl y. A. desire was manifested to make an outlay on The Priest, who, it may be remembered, was sup ported some time since at 100 to 1. To-day no more than 50 to 1 was offered, a price that would not exactly suit, but as an earnest of intention, the intending backer ex pressed his readiness to take 4,000 to 70. Mr. A. Tay lor's pair, Captain Kidd and Adam Bede, were both in quired after, but the quotation of 100 to 1 each did not bring about any business. In the course of the afternoon some excitement was caused in connection with the " Soiled Dove Case." It was reported that Professor Spooner, on behalf of the Jockey Club, and Mr. Diming ton, on behalf of Mr. Nightingall, had examined the mare, and they were clearly of opinion that she was a three year-old.

He was one of the few remaining heroes of NVaterloo, having been a pensioner upwards of fifty-one years. For his skill in husbandry he was rewarded with the estate he lived on rent free for the last twenty years of his life by the Hon. Theophilus Clements. A BAILIFF IN A DIFFICULTY.—The following story is told in connexion with the recent seizure for debt of a railway train at Shrewsbury. As has been already stated the ordinary traffic of the line was, after the enforcement of the writ, permitted to be continued with the proviso that a bailiff should accompany each train. This condition was na turally very galling to the officers of the railway company, but they nevertheless treated the representative of the civil law with marked politeness. On the night of his first becoming a constant passenger by the line he rode luxuriantly in a first class carriage to Llanymvnech, and on the return journey the attentive guard conducted him to a similar compartment, which was devoted to his sole occupation. On arriving at Kinnerly the bailiff became conscious of th- progress of an elaborate process of shunt ing, followed by an entire stoppage of the train. After sitting patiently for some minutes it occurred to him to put his bead out of the window and inquire the reason for the delay, and in carrying out that idea he discovered that the train of which his carriage had lately formed a portion was vanishing from sight round a distant curve in the line. Re lost no time in getting out and making his way into the station, which be found locked up according to custom after the paeans through of the last down train. Kinnerly is a small Tillage about twelve miles from Shrewsbury, and offers no accommodation for chance guests ; and had it been other wise, it was of course the first duty of the bailiff to look after the train of which he was at that moment supposed to be in possession. There being no alternative, he started on foot for Shrewsbury, where he arrived shortly after midnight, havingaccomplishedaperdouspassage along the line. It appeared on inquiry that the coupling chain which connected the tail-coach with the body of the train had, by some means, become unlinked—hence the accident. The bailiff accepted the explanation, but on subsequent journeys has carefully avoided the tail car na PATENT OFFICE MUSEUM, SOUTH KENSINGTON.
