LAW INTELLIGENCE. (THIS DAY.) COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. Sittings in banoo.—(Bdors Lord Chief Janeiro Cockburn, and Justices Blackburn, Mellor, and Shea.) JLM C. Lri'llr I.IID alit SON. Mr. Kennedy said this was an action under the Truck Act, tried at Monmouth before Mr. Baron Pigott, w h en a verdict was returned for the plaintiff for H r . 9d. The claim wee to reoover 351. for wages, which, it was alleged. had been paid is goods, and the pleas were the general issue, payment, and a set off. On the set off the defendants claimed for two NUM. on. ss. fee mot and thl. for the doctor and relief fund, upon which t h e learned jtulge ruled in favour of the plaintiff, andJim* • cer tificate for costs, with leave to move to met .silo the ve rdict, and the learned calmed said he believed • motion ...la to the court on behalf of the ddendante. The plaintiff's contention was that be was really paid in g oods and not in money. The quassian went to the jury, end they found for the defendant.. He now moved on the ground of the improper reception of evidence and on the improper rejection of evidence. The plaintiff was em ployed at a collery in Wales, and it was the practice to pay the men monthly, but as the proprietor kept a shop. the men were allowed to have from it what necessaries they required in the interval. The practice was for the men to take a book to the shop ; audit, for isstance, a man had 3e. worth of tea, it was entered as cub. and on that t he went to the p -office, had the money, and paid it to the storekeeper. The shop and pay-oeloe were on the same premises and comm with • window. The plaintiff contended that at was obligatory on the part of the men to take goods in payment. The Lord Chief Justice said it appeared to be .colourable evasion of the statute, but before granting • rule they would consult the learned judge who tried the case. Mr. Kennedy said that truck-roasters abound in Wee. who, no doubt, wished to uphold the practice against the law. On this case several of the special jurymen were trick-masters ; and if the case had to be tried again it was desirable to change the venue sod try it elsewhere. The Lord Chief Jmtios said that could not be made a part of the rule, but mmt be the subject of another application. Judgment deferred. EXCHEQUER, CHAMBER.. Lord Chief Juatire Erb, the Lord Chief Baron, Mr. Baron Martin, end Mr. Baron Bramwell art this morning, and appointed the following deys for sittings in error : For errors from the Queen's Bench, 10th and 11th May ; from the Common Pleas, 12th and 13th May ; from the h:chattier, 14th and 16th May. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. Sittings in Banco.—(Before Lord Chid Baron Pollock and Barons Martin and Braniwell.) _ _ MIX= r. WILSON. Sr G. Honyman moved for • rule to show pose why the plaintiff should not beet liberty to proceed in en execution in this case, notwithstanding certain proceedings at cham bers. In the coons of the argament of the learned counsel a discussion arose as to whether the proosediegs at chambers were irregular, sad whether there was an appeal to this coon or the Court of Error, and ultimately The Lord Chief Baron 'uprooted that the learned conned should take time to consider what was the proper coons to pursue under the Common Law Prcoodure Ara, and ob served that this court would be careful in tutors not to meddle with the proceedings of courts above. Application postponed. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) (Before the Assistant-Judge.)

Mr. Serialist &Mastics and Mr. Sleigh appeared for the appellant ; Mr. Serjeant Parry and Mr. Telford Salter for the reepoodaata. Mr. Serjeant Ballaatine rtated that Mr. Weston had met with a most unusual opposition, and influence of the most extraordinary character had been brought to bear spied him, but be hoped the bench would be guided by nothing but the merits of the case. He would not waste the time of the court in describing the premises and gardens. Mr. Winton had spent upwards of 20,00/. upon them. The gardens would be for the recep- tion of visitors of the matt respectable kind and would never become a nuisance. He spoke of the violent opposition by a Mr. Co take, who had • particular aversion to wide awake bats sad smoking tobacco, and even the pulpit had been open to denunciation against Mr. Weston. He hoped the bench would disregard all that and grant the lianea Mr. Serjeant Parry, for the respondents, said the iattabi. tents did not want to bare established amongst them a piece similar to Cremornegardens. They did not want it and the neighbourhood did not require it. The license was refused by • large majority. THE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.) ULIDEROUB ASSAULT ON A WM.

MANSLAUGHTER AGAINST ARTIFICIAL MANURE MANUFACTURES& —Yesterday, an *wet w Ceeeinded Wolyerhamptoe, on the body of • yore( married woman named Harriett Earley, who lived near the chemical and artificial works in that town of Mown. Wildamith and Gaunt. The deceased had complained several days of sick ness and huskiness in the throat, mused by the sulphurous vapour arising from the works. Medical men were called in, and they found the house surrounded by a vapour of • peculiarly acrid taste. This they pronounced to be sul phurous acid gas g iven o ff from the works ; and a poet mortem examinati on revealed that the deceased died of inflammation of the lungs, which Dr. Henry Hance:, surgeon, who made the examioation, believed was accelerated by the woman, who was within three months of becoming • mother, having inhaled the vapour iu wrea ths,. Several witnesses spoke to the manufacture carried on by Messrs. Wildamith and Gaunt producing retching, huskiness of throat, and headache ; and the foreman of the works showed that in the mixture from which the artificial manure was made there were used coprolites (the fossilised dung of extinct animals). calcined bone ash, "some of the broth in which the bones had been boiled" at other wade, and super phosphates brought in boats from Lcodon. To this other chemicals' were added, and thee sulphuric acid poured over the whole, and the vats closed down. This ' broth" was brought to the works in casks, and the neighbours in their evidence described it as" nasty stuff, like congealed blood." For the define), however, it was maintained that the manu facture pee off no disagreeable odour, and that moreover Do manure was being made when the surgeous were called in to see the demesed,uor until three weeks after her death. The Fury, however, returned a verdict of manslaughter against Messrs. Wilda mith and Gaunt, and those gentlemen were committed for trial, but admitted to bail. Previously the corporation of Wolverhampton had commenced proceedings against them by indictment. THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 16, 1864. EXECUTION OP rim ST. HELEN'S NUR- bass-(ruis Di %j LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY. James Clitheroe, the culprit in this remarkable Gnu, suffered death this day in frost of the Kirk&le pd. mar Liverpool, though aorta had been made to mute • reprieve. The circumstamme in connexion with the cane are of a somewhat peculiar description. Clitheroe was a married man, with a family ; but hie affections appear to have been divided between his wife and Mary Woods, • poor para lytic woman, who earned • living by keeping a school and miffing small beer. The prisoner was in the habit of shar ing the miudsred woman's bed, and, as his neighbours knew of this, be was twitted by them in the in tensely acrimonious meaner pinniliar to vulgar and uneducated people as to "the poor cripple, Mary Woods," being enceinte by him. This seems to have an noyed Clitheroe very mach, and his mortification and cha grin acting upon • morbid temperament, prompted him to murder. On the night of the 28th December last he visited Mary Woods' house, and went to bed with her as was his wont, but early next morning he out her throat and hie own too, though the wound was only fatal in the ore of the woman. Later in the morning the schoolchildren were unable to gain admision to the house as usual, and as no one answered the door after repeated knocks, as entrance was effected at the rear of the premises and an lavestiption took place. In an upstairs room the police found Mary Woods and the prisoner in bed together—the woman quite dead, and with her throat cat, and the man in an exhausted condition with his throat cut also. The blood upon the woman's throat was dry, and she had wi dest* been deed foe seved hours, whereas the blood upon Clitberoe wee fresh, and his wound must have been recently inflicted, because the blood we. flowing freely from the arteries of the neck when the police entered. The prisoner, when asked what be bed been doing stated that he and Nary Woods had agreed to eat their throats, saying, "We made it up to oat oar throats. She told so that the razor was in the drawer under the looking glass. I fetched the canoe, got into bed, and first cut my own throat." The prisoner never deviated from the account of the trans action either before or after the trial, but it must have been untrue in point of fact, because the strong and irresistible probability is that the women's threat was cut at 5 o'clock in the morning, when she was heard by a neighbour calling out, " Oh, don't !" and that Ms ma dead several hours before the primmer made the attempt upon his own life. When the prisoner wee on hie trial, Mr. Justice Willes directed the jury that if the prisoner columned, assisted, or directed the woman to destroy herself, be was guilty of murder. At his execution this awning the wretched culprit struggled hard. He persisted is his suicide story to the last. The crowd was Dot so peat as usual. Calash was the executioner. 111. 10 115 U 47,000 10 10,000' 5 6,005 50 554,7801 00 916 50, 8, 000 , 10 1111 16.000, 40,000 10 60,000 00 50,000 60 40,000 100 10,000 26 10,000 60 10010151 Bt. 140,110X.1 177,0001.1 10.000 100 KM; 10 100.000 10 rum ei. yOOOO °Milani& Aagie4laden Mat bialirelkia dadadidattr i ta Berlin Waterworks leaday Gee ew e Lark= Lad Ft 41.

The subjoined is extracted from a letter dated Rome, 9th oath, gives is the Sikk :—" A conflict took Saes three day, ethos at Clefts Veochia between some French soldiers and two sailors belonging to the pontifical ' corvette Immaculate Ooncesiorte. It appease that the French soldiers went to a small ppublio.house and called for some bottles of beer, but the mistress of the establishment gave them bottles filled with water, to the great amuse ment of all present, especially two sailors, who leashed heartily at the with played on the Frenchmen. The latter, suspecting that the landlady bad acted on the instigation of the sailors, ordered them to leave the house, which they did, but returned a few minutes later and insisted that the Frenchmen should leave. A quarrel and blows en sued during which one of the French soldiers was killed, sad the sailors then took to flight. As soon as the fact became known to the commandant of the Preach garrison, he closed all the gates of the town, end gave olden for the arrest of the murderers in whatever place they might be found, without eves except ing the churches and convents., which in the papal states are still regarded as inviolable sanctuaries. The men were found and arrested the following night. The next day the commandant ordered a funeral service for the murdered soldier, and directed that all the officers and soldiers of the garrison should attend. The officers of the Pope wen ammo qnsotly invited to be present at the religions melee, but they consulted their serioni at Rome, end received orders to refuse. The festival of the Annunciation was celebrated on Monday last, having been postponed in oonenneece of Easter falling on the proper day for it, cod the popula tion of Rome, in accordance with long-ertablished custom, flocked in great number to a pleasure fair held at Grothaferrata, a town about four lessees from the capital. While the elitism', dressed la their best and with ribbons and flowers of all colours on their bats and caps, were enjoying themselves in pie sic parties a number of Papal Zooaves, more or leer in toxicated, came from Frascati and began cheering for the Pope, while they tittered insults against Italy and Victor Emmanuel. They wanted the crowd to join them in their demonstration. but meeting with a refusal, they began to brutally ill.treat both men and wanes, especially those who declined to remove from their head-dresses such flowers and ribbons as wore not either white or yellow, the two colours used in the Papal cockade. Several persona received wounds and moleskin., end one young man, clerk to a banker of Rome, was most seriously injured. The Pontifical Gendarmes, instead of attempting to prevent this scene, appeared to be highly unwed." WEATHER REPORT.-(THIS DAY.) SAVAIDAT, intl. l& 8 A.IL a T. W. Nalra 19.7548' B.W.
