Lard HOUGHTON said as it had been reported that a sheep had tau place in the disposition of the King of with rawest to the captives in that oonntry, he wiied to llama from her Majesty's government bow the manse steed, and if then was any hope of their liberation. The Earl of MALMINIBIIRY was glad to say there was evilly hope efebtainiag ths rename of thew unfortunate nem, but their liberatice would not be so rapid as bad ham expected. The King, being engaged in making war, Lad Masted ea the captives accompanying him, and they woe now in his camp, but bibbed sent Mr. Fla d, the German missionary, with a letter to her Majesty, in which he made esetain requests fee different articles. Her Majesty's go unman were:doiag their best to obtain thesethinga, and, although Mr. Find could not, on account of the rainy mason, return until September, they hop e d th a t w h en b e did go back with what had been asked for, the King venM release the captives, who were now well treated, end act placed under much restriction and whom the Ring Baal he detained as a proof of h is friendship. (A lough-) PHI INSECURITY FOR PEDESTRIANS IN HYDE PARK AT NIGHT. Earl Rrssittx, wished to put a question to the Fin* Lead of the Treasury, of which he bad given him notice, with reference to Hyde-park. In doing so it was name- Issry he should make a short statement ; but be did not to enter into the question of the right to bold = se mi:tiny in the parks, shout which there had nose* been so much excitement. His question referred to the security of persons traversing Hyde-park after san est. It appeared froin the newspap er, that on the 25th of lan month a deputation. headed by Mr. 8ea1.., waited apse Mr. Walpole, the Home Secretary, and that after sown discussion Mr. Walpole promised that names a riot cc disturbance took place, or an attack was made on persons or property, bather the police nor the mili tary should appear in the park at the time of a meeting which ft had then been proposed to hold. The, be must say, seemed to him to be a most extraordinary proceeding on the part of the Home Secretary. No doubt his object was to restore quiet in Hyde-park, but besides the persons who went there for the purpose of holding a public meeting, there was another ela, present—" roughs," as they were called, sad Dome of them being thieves and pickpockets—who eared very little for manhood suffrage or vote by ballot, and whose only object was to attack persons and property —a class who had dons a great deal of mischief, and com mitted some serious outrages. Giving Mr. Walpole the implied credit for desiring to properly perform hisduty, he tiraight there waaa failure of duty on hiepart in not having police in the park to protect people against depredations of this nature. It appeared that frequently, after dark, in Hyde-park, persons had been attacked and :parlous out- rages committed upon them by these members of the swell Mob, and in short there was no security for pedestrians *ravening the park after sunset in consequence of the th emes of the po lic e . He thought there should not only be police on duty, but that after a certain hour at night the park should be cleared of any such crowds as those com plained of. If the Commissioners of Police were to devise a plan to remedy the evil, which it would, perhaps, not be difficult to do, and it were efficiently carried out, they would probably hear no more of these disorders and outrages. Chagas of misconduct had been made in the newspapers against the police, but though out of the force of 1,600 men who were employed in the park some might not have shown that forbearance which they ought to have one, he must, at the same time, say that the general character of ttolice in the metropolis was marked by Wpoielnduct . forbearance, and he certainly was rather to dou bt the truth of some of these representa tions in regard to their acts on the occasion of the disturb anoe in Hyde-park. The noble lord concluded by asking whether the government contemplated taking any steps with a view to the protection of the public who happened to pau through the park at night. The Earl of DERBY —The notice which I received from the noble earl of his question was in these words:—" I 1:77:to ask whether some provision may not be made : security of persons traversing Hyde-park after sunset in future." Now, I shall my as little as parable as to the past, but receiving that notice I certainly was not foe the uncalled for attack which the noble sari preparedmade on the course adopted by my right hon. friend the Home Secretary. The noble earl will forgive me for eying that he has 'van a very inaccurate version al what my right honourable friend stated with respect to the meeting in Hyde-park. Ho has said that at the interview with Mr. Reales my right honourable friend undertook that if Mr. Beebe would use his influence, according to his owe proposal, to have the park cleared of those perilous who had forcibly entered the park under the pretence of =to the Reform Association, he on the other hand care that there should be no police or military is the perk. Earl RUSSELL—If there wastio riot. - The Earl of DEBBY—WeII, that is exactly the opposite of what w right lion. friend said. What he said was that if Mr. Bodes would undertake to use his influence for the removal of improper persona, and if no riots or disturbance took place iu the park, he would, on the other hand, take care that there was no such demonstration of polka or military as would be likely to excite an adverse feeling, and lead to an outbreak. He expressly said it was his duty to have a sufficient force in 'reserve in case of riot. (Hoar, hear.) It is perfectly true that there have been such outrages in the park as the noble earl has deseribed, but he is perfectly well aware that it is ne new fact that persons cannot traverse the park at night without being exposed to some amount of risk and danger. I can carry my recollection back a oonirldereble period, and so an the noble earl, and yet I doubt whether he recollects the time when it would have been entirely safe to traverse the parks after dark, either in summer or winter. (Some aseert.) It is perfectly well known that persons so tra versing the park are lisble to interruption. The mob who accompanied the reform demonstration and succeeded in forcing their way into the park, now complain of the brutal conduct of the police ; but the best proof on that point is this—that while the injuries indicted by the paid on their assailants were few, one-sixth of the police engaged in the maintenance of order in the k were injured, while some were permanently disabled E the violence of the mob. (Hear, hear.) As many as of the police, the greater number being officers and superintendents, are still suffering, and some 40 or 50 will suffer for their lives from that violence. I have no doubt that the success of this mob, who I do not say belonged to the reform procession, has led to some increase in the ineenvenienoe and danger to which persons traversing the pm* are exposed; but, considering that the noble earl has for the last quarter of a oddity at least held a very im portant post in the government, it does somewhat surprise me that up to the present moment he should never have thought of suggesting the precaution against violence and injury which be now presses on her Majesty's go vernment. (A laugh.) Whet is the cause of the insecurity in the parks ? How far it gin be remedied I do not say, but lam anxious that the government should consider the best means of provid ing a remedy. But what, I repeat, is the cause ? In the first place, there is a divided authority. The parks are under the control of radon who appoint the gate keepers. They are also to a certain extent under the control g e t r h i d Board of Works, with whom rests the appointment of a certain number of park-keepers- However, there are little more than 100 park-keepers in all the parks in the neighbourhood of London, and they are not men expressly selected for their ability to provide against a rint, while the polite have no right to interfere in the parks unless called upon by the park-keepers. The consequence is that there is a division of authority which is fatal to the maintenance of any properly organised system of security. It is impossible to wholly light the parks, and they being open to the whole world, and the police having no power to interfere, dis orderly people may no doubt collect in them at night, and dead considerable annoyance. Hyde-perk is keptopen till 10 o'clock, but at that hour the gates are closed, which appears to me a pretty strong indication of the right to exclude the public at certain periods. It would facilitate Use maintenance of order if the gates were closed at an earlier hour, but at the same time, that would tend much to the inconvenience of the general public, who would be Deprived of the opportunity they now enjoy up to 10 o'clock to cross the park in different directions ; and of late years they have had the additional advantage of the new thoroughfare from Bayswater to Kensington. Now the beat security which can be devised for the main- Modica of order in the park is, first of all, to place it ander one controlling authority, indeed of two or three ; and next, to provide for the better lighting of the main thoroughfares and footpaths through it. I have said that it is impossible to light the whole park, and it is also im possible to prevent some disorderly characters being con stantly in it, end a proposal for giving power to the police to turn them out after ten o'clock may give rise to a doubt ful question. The securities I have mentioned I know have been under consideration, but various questions haver arisen which, I believe, have hitherto prevented anything being done. The subject was before the late First Commie sioner of Works, and two objections were raised by him to what the noble earl now thinks absolutely necessary. The one was naturally the expeoseto be incurred, and theother the disfiguring of the park by rows of lamps along the principal footpaths. I cannot any that the present go vernment have come to any conclusion on the matter, but lam in communication with the Home Secretary and the First Commissioner of Works in regard to it. The First Commissioner of Works is perfectly willing to waive his right to a ppoint the perk-keepers, and to have the parks by the pos ; but whether any steps in that directicei will be taken I can not say. It is absolutely Impassible for us, or any government, to give prods,- tion to persons who, in passing through the park, do not confine themselves to the regular thoroughfare s If they diverge from the regular thoroughfare the risk is their own, and whatever consequences may happen they cannot bland anybody bet themselves. The evil now brought under the consideration of the present govern ment is one of long standing, and one which ought to have been dealt with long ago ; and if any advantage tan be derived from the unfortunate occurrences of the last •week, it will be by calling public attention to the wow s e il) ed fmaking some provision to meet an evil w hi c h h es for as long a time as my memory can reach—a pe • clod, lam sorry to say, which embraces a considerable umber of 7ears. Lord LYVEDEN thought the noble earl bad no vow* to complain of the manner in which his noble friend las& brought this question forward. The curious part of the preceding was that the parks on Tuesday and Wednesday wove left totally without protection. Boys and kirks, were children, were suffered to destroy tho plants and flowers, while they night have easily been prevented by the ordi nary park-keepers. As to the future, he thought that • notice should be put up stating the hoar at which the pack was to be closed, sad that it should be entirely under the control of the police. He considered that in the recent occurrences the police arrangements were ample, and that the force bad acted with coolness, forbearance, and courage . __Meer, hear.) Earl RIIWELL said that the Home Secretary had been re*wwted to date to the deputation that unless any mis chief arose, or disturbance was created, or property de stroyed, there should be no demonstration either of the military or the police. The Earl of DERBY replied that the statement of his right hon. friend was that there should be no demonstra tion of military or police, but that, of course, he would keep a reserve. That was directly at variance with the statement of the noble earl, that there should be no police or military whatever in the park at all. (Hear, hear.) Earl RUSSELL expressed himself satisfied :with the reply be bad received. The subject then dropped. A number of bills were advanced a stage. In answer to Earl Forrinseut, The Earl of LONGFORD laid that steps bad been taken by the War-office to ensure more perfect sanitary arrangements in the army. The Industrial Schools Bill and the Reformatory Schools Bill were read a second time. The house adjourned at 7 o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONEL—FEIDAT, Ara. 3. The Smut= took the chair at half-pest twelve o'clock. PRIVATE BILLS. The following bills were read a third time and poised The Downpatriek, Dundrum, and Newcastle Railway Bill, and the Waterford, New Boss, and Wexford Junction Railway Bill. EXTRADITION TREATIES ACT AMENDMENT BILL. Lord STANLEY. in rising to move the second reading of this bill, said—A few words of explanation may be , not so much for the benefit of th ne o os c l i te r l have read the bill, and the papers on which it is founded, aa for the information of those, and they seem to be not a few in number, who, having done neither of these things, have nevertheless formed • very decided opinion upon the question, and who, as is natural under such circumstances, labour under very considerable misapprehension. I do not know that it is n sscsaarryy to defend the general principle on which the e don treaty of 1843 was founded. The bill which gave aeration to that treaty was agreed to after very full inquiry by both homes of parliament. It has been in existence for M years, and during that time no attempt has been made to reverse it. The principle on which it rests has been ac cepted by civilized nations generally. In old days, when communication between different countries was slow and infrequent, it mattered little that it was theoretically pos. slide for a man who had violated the law in his own country to escape and find refuge in a neighbouring country, be calm although theoretically that possibility existed, the chance of his getting there was small, and his chance of living when he gut there was probably still smaller. But in our days of increasing national intercourse, when ear communications have become more rapid, end facilities for escape have increased, this question assumes • far more serious importance. It would be not merely inconvenient, but absolutely indecent, and • scandal to our civilisation, if it were possible that • man known to have committed a murder in London, and having by good fortune got six hours' start of the police, should be able to walk about the streets of Boulogne or of Paris, and remain there during the rest of his life absolutely secure from punishment of every kind, admitting his offence and perhaps glorying in it. Now, sir, I do not think it is possible to attack the principle on which extradition treaties are based, without laying down thia doo trine, which I think this house will shrink from sanctioning, namely, that the judicial arrangements of • country on which a treaty is framed are so bad and so incapable of doing justice, that it could not be trusted to try its own subjects, and that it would be far better that the offenders against the laws of that country should escape punishment altogether than that they should undergo punishment ac cording to those laws. For my own part, I have accepted the principle of these treaties as one sanctionedl.7 the law of nations. I wish to confine myself to the question of the alterations now proposed in the law ; but before I say what those alterations are, let me say what they are not. I have heard that there is an impression in some quarters that, however small thin bill may be, it is only intended as a means of bringing in • much larger measure and of considerably extending the catalogue of offences included in the treaty with France. I say distinctly that this bill has no such object or inten. tion. The alterations we propose are of • alight character, and their object is to satisfy a scruple with regard to • point of honour on the part of the judges in that country with which the treaty is made, and respecting which it is, I think, impossible not to feel that their objection to the present state of the law is • reasonable one. As this is • matter of legal procedure, I hope the house will aliow me to read • brief statement of the case given by Sir Thomas Henry, the well-known magistrate, in his letter of the 20th April last to Lord Clarendon. It contains the entire substance of the ques tion. He says :—" The difficulty experienced in giving effect to the treaty with France arises from some words in ; the second section of the Extradition Act, 7th Victoria, I cap. 75. The object of that section was to obviate the ne cessity of sending witnesses from one country to the other, and with that view it enacted that copies of the depot& tiona upon which the French warrant of arrest was granted may be received in evidence if ' certified under the hand of the person issuing such warrant., and atteskd upon the oath of the party producing them, to be true copies of the depositions.' The words in indies have given rise to the difficulty which I will shortly explain; when the French government applies for the extradition of an accused fugitive, the practice has been to transmit • warrant of arrest, and copies of depositions certified under the hand and seal of the 'Jugs &Instruction ' who issued the warrant, and verified by the signature and seal of the Minister of Justice ; requisition is thereupon made by the French Ambassador to one of her Majesty's Secretaries of State, who directs that application shall be made to the chief magistrate of this court to issue has warrant for the apprehension of the accused : before that can be done it is absolutely necessary that the ' person producing the copies should attest upon oath that they are true copies; he cannot so attest unless he has compared them with the original de- , positions, and to do that it becomes necessary.that he should apply to the judge in France who signed the certificate, and ask permission to see the original depositions, so that he may compare, and be able to attest, that the copies are true copies, or, in other words, that be may be able to swear that the judge had certified truly.' At the inter view which Lord Cowley and I had with the Minister of Justice (M. Baroche) he said that the French judges con- sidered it an indignity that their certificates should be treated as unworthy of any confidence, and that a person usually a common policeman, should be sent into their chambers, requiring to use the original depositions, in or der to ascertain whether the judges bad given true certifi cates. He stated that France had fifty-three extradition treaties, and that all other countries were perfectly satis fied with the official certificates which authenticated their warrants and depositions. He remarked that all criminal proceedings in France were conducted by the state, under the supervision of the Attorney-General and the Minister of Justice, and it was not to be sup posed that they would send fable copies of depositions. " Now, on this point I have the statement made by the present Lord Chancellor in another place, and in the pre sence of other learned lords, who, had there been any inac curacy in his statement, would no doubt have corrected him. Lord Chelmsford said, " And it is most extraor. dinary that this should be required, because under th law with regard to proving documents from foreign countries in our courts of justice any judicial proceeding, or any document emanating from a court of justice, can be proved by copies of these documents purporting to be sealed with the seal of the court, or with the signature of a judge of the court, with a statement that the court hes no seal. Therefore, if these documents had been produced in • court of justice, verified in the way I have stated, I have no doubt whatev er that would be perfectly good evidence though merely purporting to be so signed and sealed, and there can be no reason why a difference should be made in the mode of proof with regard to the transmission of docu ments from France under the extradition treaty." As to the objection that these papers may be used for political purposes, my answer is that we have the law in this respect precisely in the same position as it stood in before, and if the house discussed this question it would be discussing what is really a false issue. It would be quite right that you should discuss the general policy of having any extra dition treaty whatever, and that the house should express its opinion on that question ; but if the principle of extra dition treaties be admitted, it seems to me to be absurd to admit that principle, and at the same time to render it nugatory in practice by refusing to amend what is simply a technical flaw. There are only four offences provided for in the extradition act, and they are murder, attempted murder, fraudulent bankruptcy, and forgery. Of these offences there are only two that seem likely to have a political bearing, and they are the two first—namely, murder and attempted murder. I see that notice has been given that when the bill goes into committee a clause will be proposed the purpose of which is to exclude all offences which are considered to be of a political character. I do not say that I should have any great objection to that provided you define what is to be treated as a political offence. I take it that in • rough and popular way it would sot be difficult to do that. For instance, if • man were killed in a riot, or in an attempt to excite insurrection, that probably would be regarded as a political offence. But a difficulty would arise in mete where you have to deal with attempts at assassination. It seems to me that, while we desire to retain Inviolate the right of exemption from arrest for political offences, it is monstrous to say that if any private individual is assassinated in the streets of Paris, fat example, 11.114 the murderer escapes to England, he may be punished, but if the person so salassinated is invested with any political character then the offence becomes a political offence, and the law of England declares that he should not be given up to justice. This position seams to me to be totally untenable. There is, I apprehend, a illiscretionarepSwir given to the leeretary of State as to the application of the act. All I shall say en that point is that if any hon. gentleman can succeed in establishing a distinction between the case of a purely political offence and the case of an offence against morality, I shall be willing to consider the proposal to insert a clause to meet such • cue. I think it would be difficult to draw such a distinction ; but that is a matter which we may consider in committee. I have now stated to the house the object of the bill, and the cir munstances that have led to its proposal. I may add that the present government believe the bill to be thoroughly sound, and its principles right and just. Nevertheless, we are not alone responsible for the bill. It came down to us from our prede o eseors in office, and I confidently rely upon our having their co-operation in our efforts to give it legisbaive effect. (Hear, hear.) Mr. lf. TORRENS moved the rejection of the bill, on the ground that it was a leading principle of sh law that no person should be delivered up on th ewisition of a foreign government unless such a case could be made out before an English magistrate as would justify such magistrate in committing • prisoner for trial for the offence charged ; whereas, what the French government now sought was that a French warrant should be sufficient to authorise an English magistrate to pave up an offender, and, in fact, that oar magistrates should act upolice agents for France. — ffir R. COLLIER took on himself a full share of the re sponsibility of the preparation and introduction of the bill, and denied that it effected the least alteration in the prin ciple of the law of this country in reference to extradition. That law required that a magistrate should be completely satisfied that the evidence on which a criminal was sought to be delivered up to a foreign power formed a prima facie case him. It bad been argued that the object of the against was to change the law, but in this respect there was no change. If the object of the measure was to in fringe on the right of asylum in this country, he would be as strenuously opposed to it as any man ; but all that it did was to remove a technical difficulty which rendered the working of the extradition treaty practically inope rative. Sir F. GOLDSMID said that it was probable that in special cases such portions of the depositions as would ii 3 e e rzth a e r f e u d rp s r of the governmentFr his enll eidied, would thus it was the difficulty which this bill sought to remove that had pre vented an indirectly improper use of the extradition . There ought to be a distinct understanding that political t : l offence. were not in any manner to be included in the extradition treaty. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL pointed out that what was now proposed to be done in regard to France was already in force in reference to the extradition treaty with A.merice.. Mr. 8. MILL said that be never yet kneW an enlightened Frenchman who did not admit that the criminal courts of France were the worst managed institutions in that country, and the worst part of their procedure was their mode of taking evidence. It was in the power of a juge d'instruction to take evidence in secret, and it was the easiest thing penale to get up false charges. And yet under this bill an English magistrate might be called on to surrender an alleged criminal on depositions from such a source. Cam should be taken by the bill to secure that the treaty be not used against political offenders. Sir R. PALMER stated that it was in the nature of things that sometimes it was not possible to avoid deposi• tions being taken ex parte. The alarm which was raised as to the probable effects of the bill was quite chimerical At any tune the Habeas Corpus Act could be put into operation to prevent the powers of the treaty being abused. Mr. HENLEY said it would be much easier for the French government to send over persons to give fahe oral testimony in this country, than to induce the judges of the French courts to sign spurious documents and deposi tions. Sir G. BOWYER thought that the advantages of an ex tradition treaty ought not to be given up on the possibility that as individual charged with a political offence might by some means be brought under its operation. On a division, the aecond reading was carried by 77 to 14. In committee on the Habeas Corpus Suspension (Ire land) Act Continuance Bill, Mr. DILLON moved, as • proviso to clause 1, " that the operation of the act should extend only to the persons who were now in prison in Ireland, under the provisions of the act hereby continued, and to such other persons u might come into Ireland after the passing of the act." On a division the motion was lost by 53 to 13. The Constabulary Force (Ireland) Bill and the Expiring Laws Continuance Bill were read a third time and passed, as was the Common Law Courts (Foes end Salaries) Bill. The sitting was then suspended. At the evening sitting, Sir E. KERRISON took the oaths and his seat for East Suffolk, in the room of Sir F. Kelly. In answer to Mr. Mumtaz, Lord NAAS said that in appointing Mr. Blaokburne to the Lord Chancellorship of Ireland, Lord Darby had not consulted lawyers of eminenoe at the Irish bar. That gentleman would not have accepted the office unless he felt himself quite qualified to discharge its duties. Colonel SYKM: called attention to the rendition by the acting governor of Hong Kong of a Chinaman of that colony to the Canton mandarins on an accusation of piracy, and to his subsequent barbarous execution. He moved the adjournment of the house. Mr. WATKIN asked if this course was regular. The SPEAKER said that it was customary to give op portunity for motions on Friday, either on motion for sup. ply or for adjournment to Monday ; and as neither motion had been made—the house sitting on Saturday—it was not out of order to make motions in the way which had been adopted. Lord H. LENNOX, in reference to • question from Colonel Sykes as to the surrendering of Chinese pirates by British naval officers, said that the officers acted on dis tinct station orders issued by the admiral, end founded on the opinion of the law officers of the crown interpreting the treaty of this country with China. Mr. PIM called attention to the delay which takes place in the transmission of letters to or from America to Queenstown ; asked if any measure would be adopted to obviate the delays ; and whether it was intended to reduce the postage from • shilling to sixpence. Mr. W. HUNT said it was expected when the present contracts terminated that the postage would be reduced to sixpence. As to the delays in transmiuion, the trains were timed to meet the packets, and an average time only could be taken. The house was then counted out, at ten minutes to 8 o'clock. ABINGDON.—In oonaequenoe of Colonel the Hon. C. EL Lindsay having accepted the office of Groom in Waiting to her Majesty he has to appear before his con stituents for re-election. Hewitt be opposed by Mr. William McArthur, of London, • gentleman of thorough liberal views, in whom the whole of the liberal party is united. The mayor has appointed Monday for the nomination. Tux REFORM LEAOUE.—The ordinary weekly meeting of the council of this lmve was held last evening, at the *Moss, Adelphi-terra, Mr. Edmond &alai, the president, in the chair. The sum of ten guineas was unanimously voted to Mr. Howell, the secretary of the league, for the additional labour be had bad imposed upon him during the put two or three weeks. Mr. Bonner moved the follow resolution :—" That this council beg to present to their esteemed president, Edmond Beans, Esq., M.A., their most earnest thanks for his steadfast ad herence to principle, his undaunted courage, his wisdom in advising, and his prudence in action during the serious crisis through which we have just persuaded that thereby riot and anarchy rv i e ld 'been prevented, a toil government checked in • tyrannical course, and the interests of the league materally advanced. And they assure him of their intention to stand by him until the right of the public to meet for any proper public purpose in the public parks and other spen spaces has been established." Mr. Leveson seconded the resolution, which was earned with acclamation. Mr. Beaks responded. The secretary stated that • beautiful white satin banner, bearing the motto, " We respect law, not privilege," had been presented to the league by a lady residing in London. Mr. Cremer, on behalf of the demon stration committee, brought up • report adopted by that body, in which a series of propositions were put forward for the consideration of the council. Amongst other matters, it was suggested that the metropolis should be divided into districts and agents elected for the purpiee of instituting • house to house canvass for the enrolment of members, and the committee believed that by this means thousands would be enrolled, and that at least 100 branches might be formed in London. Poises Exctritsiom. —On Thursday the annual excursion of the L, or Lambeth, division of police took plata. The party, under the direction of Superintendent Webb and Inspectors Heath and Young, started by the Sea Swallow steamer from Lambeth-pier to Rceherville. After spending • happy day, the excursionists, numbering about 700, returned to town, accompanied by the band of the division. _ _ - --- CAPTURE OP A LIVERPOOL MURDERER IN Aaz /llCA.—About three or four years ago a most brutal murder was committed in Richmond-row, Liverpool, and, notwith standing all the endeavours of the Liverpool police to ap prehend the murderer, he managed to elude their vigi lance until within the last few weeks, when he was cap tured in America. The facts relative to the murder are these :—A tinplate worker, named Reed, together with his wife and son, resided in Richmond-row, a street leading off Scotland-road, Liverpool They carried on the manufacture of tin utensils, and apparently earned a comfortable living, though there were frequent bickerings in the family, consequent on Reed's irregnianties. One night, about - 11 o'clock, in the autumn of 1862, Reed went home, and finding his wife was at • neigh bour's house, sent for her. In the coarse of a few minutes she returned, and as far as can at present be known nothing more was heard or seen of her until some neighbours, a few bonze afterwards, found her lying in the cellar of the house in a dying state, with • deep sad fatal wound in her left breast. From what few sips she made before she died, it seemed that her husband was the mur derer and this suspicion was strengthened by the fending of • knife, belonging to him, covered with blood, down • oelher•grating close to the cellar. A few days ago the de tective officials at Liverpool received intelligence that Reed had been arrested at New York. No tine was tort in sending for him, and on Wednesday laid Detective Ilaredise, of the Liverpool police force, sand for New York la the Mao, to bring the prisoner to Sagbad. COEPLITEZ AGEATEST *4 POLICE-CONSTABLE. --....- THS HYDE•PARK DISTURBANCES. At thp iisrtheresogh-street police-court, yester day, Poliee-oondable Patrick Geralty, D 26, was ebarpd before Mr. Knox with assaulting Edwin Albert Wright. Mr. Bury Hatabisaon Was for the complainant, and Mr. Wontner for the defendant. Edwin Albert Wright, clerk on the London and Brighton Railway, proved that at half-past 2, on Tuesday, the 24th July, he was in Park-lane, on the east aide. He had got as far as Wood's-mews when he noticed that • crowd of pennons were followed by a posse of policemen. While about to cross the mews he received • blow on the beck of the head. Had not prevr said a word, nor had the people. Everything was ectly quiet. His hat was knocked o ff by the blow, 11.13 after walking a few steps he fell down. Ho bled so much that his clothes were saturated with blood. He believed the defendant was the constable who struck him. Had not time to take particular notice of the constable, but he re cognised the defendant as the constable close to him after be had been struck, and more particularly because the constable had hie truncheon uplifted as if to strike him again. Had not been at business since be had received the injury, as his medical adviser told him to keep quiet. Had no particular political feeling, and was not favourable towards rioting. Cross-examined by Mr. Wontner—Saw no stone-throw ing or a:infusion among the crowd. Believed the defendant was the constable who struck him, but could not posi tively swear to the fact. John Kyftin, No. 16, Dorset-street, cabman, was in Park-lane on the day in question, and saw Polioe-oon 'table D 26 strike complainant on the head with his stale. The complainant was standing on the kerb near Wood's mews. Did not hear complainant say anything before he was struck. The defendant struck the complainant on the head as it he were tanking a cricket-ball. Sound of the defendant's brother constables pulled the defendant down the mews. Complainant, after going a few steps, fell on his knees, the blood flowing from his head. None of the constables attempted to take the complainant into custody. Complainant was put into • cab and taken to a surgeon's in Mount-sweet. He followed and gave the policeman's number to the complainant. Cross-examined—Was by the aide of the complainant at the time. There was • stoppage at the mews. When the complainant was struck the people cried " Shame." Took the constable's number. Had no animosity towards the police. Had been summoned by them several times. Alfred Kyffln, groom, 16, Dorset-street, was with his brother in Park-lane. A number of police came down the mews, followed by a smaller body of constables. The com plainant, who was standing on the kerb, wes struck by the defendant with his staff on the ride of the head as hard as he could. The police left the complainant on the pavement, and the complainant was led by some people to • cab, the crowd moving away at the time, being in fact afraid of the police in oonsequenee of their violence. He followed the complainant, who was smothered in blood, and gave him the constable's number. Cross-examined.—Had been a cabman, bat was now a The people who were near the mews were frightened at the brutality of the police. Saw several people come from the park with their heads cut, The people cried " Shame." There was a kind of melee among the people, who were hallooing and shouting. No stones were thrown, the roadway was blocked up with carte, vans and carriages. Took the defendant's number down after the complainant was struck. It was owing to the rush of the polio. that the crowd congregated. Dr. Smith, surgeon, Upper Belgrave-place, saw the complainant and examined his wound, which was on the hmd, and might have proved dangerous. A weapon like a policeman's truncheon would inflict such a wound. All danger was not absolutely over, as scalp wounds some times proved serious. For the defence Inspector Burrows, D division, was called, and be stated that on hearing that a disturbance was going on in Hyde-park on Tuesday at midday, he went there with four or five men, and saw a mob of thou sands engaged in tearing down the trees and throwing stones at persons passing in carriages. After a sufficient body of constables were collected, he went to the Marble Arch, and the mob began throwing stones at the police. Told some constables to go down the mews. Stones were being thrown down there. Several of the constables were badly hurt on the breast by the stones, and one was taken to the hospital. Another constable was obliged to fly for his life, and was imprisoned in a public-house until res cued. There was a good deal of rioting, and the men were obliged to use their truncheons. An order was given to the constables to us their truncheons. Cross-examined—The people throwing stones were a rough clan. After the constables were told to draw their truncheons he walked with the men down the mews, but did not see any of them use their truncheons. Would not take the complainant for a rough, but there were many persons as well dressed as the complainant who threw stones at the police. Charles Phillips, D 137, was behind Geratty, and saw several carriages with the windows broken. He ard that a constable was confined by the mob in a public-house. Was ordered to draw truncheons, and did so. Stones were thrown, and several of the constables were hart. Did not have to use truncheons, as the mob ran away. Saw Geratty use no unn violence whatever. The defendant was kicked on the cgs by some of the mob. Moses Bellingham, D 187, said the police were ordered to draw their staves and to clear the road. Saw Geratty use no unnecessary violence. In reply to Mr. B. Hutchinson the constable said the order to draw truncheons was given at the Marble Arch. They were ordered to charge, and clear away the mob of roughs who were pelting the police. The mob ran down the mews, and the police followed. There were several respectable people near the mews, who did nothing that ailed for the interference of the police. Mr. Knox said his course was clear. The first question to ask was, admitting at once the perfect respectability of the complainant, was there any such occasion as to re quire the forcible action of the polioe. After bearing the evidence, there could be no doubt that • scene of enormous violence, stone and brick-bat throwing, was enacting, and that there was what is termed in the language of the law an actual riot. Any fair and rational man who might have been present in Park-lane at the time must have come to the conclusion that there was in the eye of the law a riotous assembly. He might take it, therefore, there wee a riot such as the fact in evidence disclosed. The police had • right—and it was their imperative duty—to put an end, by force if necessary, to the not. The police were sent out — they acted under the authority of their lawful superior; if they had refused they would have been degraded from their rank and perhaps dismissed. The police did act, and there was nothing to show that in so acting they bad any animosity towards the complainant, who had gone to • place where the police were being pelted by • body of roughs. He did not include in the words the respectable workman or mechanic, he only referred to men whose acts and conduct were the disgrace of London. It had been proved that the constables were suffering from • sharp fire of stones and brickbats while endeavour ing to rescue • comrade who had been made a prisoner by the mob, and it wee at that time and under those circumstances that the complain ant received his injury, which be and everybody else must regret. He would read • few words which, coming as they did from the high authority of the late Lord Chief Justice Tindal, on the occasion of the Bristol riots, were deserving of general attention. " Let me impress on the attention of all who from idleness, curiosity, or mere thoughtlessness suffer themselves to form • part of • riotous and disorderly meeting, that they subject themselves unconsciously to the danger of punishment for crimes which they never con templated. For where many are collected together in the prosecution of illegal objects, it le often impossible to dis cern between the active and the unoffending part of the mob. It requires evidence on the part of the accused which they may not be able to produce in order to defend themselves against the charge of participation in the guilt of others. The only safe course for the peat able and well disposed on all occasions of popular tumult is this—to lend their ready aid to assist the magistrates in suppressing it, or, at all events, forthwith to separate themselves from the others." The ooniplainant had been no doubt peacefully disposed, but he had contrived to blunder into a position where • disturbance was being carded on. Now were he foolish enough supposing an action to be raging between the forces of Austria and Prussia, to go on the field of battle, be did not think he should have much to complaia of if he got wounded—he should have deemed it his wisest course to say nothing about it. The rational probability was that Geratty's was the hand that struck the blow. The complainant could not swear to the circumstance positively, and the evidence of the two witnesses too evidently showed an ill feeling against the polies to be entirely reliable. There was a man before him who was acting in obedience to the orders of his superiors who was engaged in putting down an illegal and riotous assembly, and who was charged with giving a chalice blow to a peaceful person against whom be bad no animosity, and who certainly had no business where be received the injury. He considered be should be laying down • fatal precedent if be convicted • constable under such circumstances. He must therefore discharge the defendant.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. WESTERN ClRCUlT.—Bornair, Auourr 2. (Before Mr. Justice Myles.) •071011 AGAINST LOU) ILISELAOIL The 'action Snell v. Lord Ranelagh was tried to-day before a special jury. It was brought to recover compen sation for money spent and sernces rendered by plaintiff for defendant in connexion with the late Bodmin election. Mr. Cole and Mr. Pinder were conned for the plaintiff ; and Mr. KAMA', Q.C., Mr. Coleridge, Q.C.. and Mr. Kingdon were for the defendant. Mr. Cole, in opening the case for the plaintiff, said that the cue was one of some peculiarity. The plaintiff was an attorney and a parliamentary agent in London, and had been much concerned in elections in Cornwall, Devon, and Dorset. The defendant, Lord Ranelagh, was well known in connexion with the volunteer movement, was chairman of the Conservative Land Society, a member of the Carlton Club, and an exceedingly staunch conservative. Lord Rau lagh was anxious, naturally anxious, that his abilities should be exhibited in the proper sphere, namely, in her Majesty's House of Commons. The learned Judge—The people's House of Commons. Mr. Cole admitted that be stood corrected. About May, 1864, there was an idea prevalent that there would be a dissolution of parliament in the autumn ; and that being so, Lord Ranelagh, who was connected with a Mr. Tucker, the chairman of the London and Birmingham and South Staffordshire Bank, and a member of the Junior Carlton Club. was introduced to Mr. Snell, the plaintiff. Various interviews took place, and Lord Ranelagh having expressed his desire to enter parliament, and Bodmm having naturally suggested itself as one of the best places for a conservative to try his chances, was eventually selected, and Mr. Snell was to do what was necessary to make things safe. It was thought desirable, however, that there should be another gentleman to stand with his lordship, it being pretty well-known tactics that to fight a three-cornered election was • bad plan, and that it would be better to run two horses than one. A Colonel Merrick was mentioned at first as a good person to stand in connexion with Lord Ranelagh, but after some hesitation he declined to come forward. Another gentleman, and one more eligible, was soon found in the person of a well-known London attor ney, Mr. Heritage. Mr. Heritage was also introduced to Mr. Snell by Mr. Tucker, and then • great many meet ings were held, and plaintiff was Instructed to go to Bad mm and pave the way for Lord Ranelagh and Mr. Heritage to come down. The qquestion as to providing the sinews of war was discared. It was arranged that a certain sum should be advanced to Mr. Snell to go down to Bodmiu. A rum of about 400/. was to be placed in the hands of Mr. Tucker, who was to be the medium, and there was a contingent arrangement that if these gentlemen should be so fortunate as to be elected by the burgesses of the { immaculate borough of Bodmin Mr. Snell was to receive some benefit afterwards. The result was that the sum of 125/. was advanced to the plaintiff through Mr. Tucker; and plaintiff went down to Bodmin and commenced operations. He met the leading electors and visited gentlemen of in fluence in the borough known to be favourable to the con servative cause, and he was at the first onset very successful indeed. A volunteer review was about to be held, and it was thought to be a very convenient oppor. tunity for Lord Rene hto come down, and he at drat promised to do so : but did not, and the matter passed over. The plaintiff remained in Bodmin about six weeks, doing everything to support purity of election and to promote the interests of the candidates. He re mained until August in the performance of this duty. The subject of Mr. Webb's candidature was discussed, for of course if three conservatives stood, the result would be to throw them all oat, and let the liberals in. Lord Ranelagh said that difficulty could be got over, as be bad sufficient interest at the Carlton Club—where it was pretty well known all election matters for the conservative party were arranged—to get Mr. Webb to withdraw ; and that he would see Colonel Taylor, the whip of the party, and get him to induce Mr. Webb to retire. At one of their meetings, Colonel Taylor being present, Lord Ranelagh and Mr. Heritage pledged themselves to go to the poll, and everything was to be done to get Mr. Webb to retire. But he was not inclined to retire, and there was considerable difficulty in the matter. Lord Ranelagh and Mr. Heritage were announced as the persons who should be the future candidates for Bodmin. But towards the end ' of August Mr. Snell came back, it being then known that there would be no election in the autumn, and that all idea of a dissolution was at an end. Mr. Snell was, however, directed to keep an eye upon the borough, and to take care that things were kept comfortable to secure the election at the first opportunity. He accordingly con tinued in close communication with the electors of Bod min, and several times saw Lord Ranelagh in London. This went on till June, 1865, when it became known there would be an election in July ; and Mr. Snell was again directed to go down to Bodmin and do everything neces sary to make the election of Lord Ranelagh and Mr. Heritage safe, and be had also this piece of advice, " Don't starve the borough." Mr. Coleridge—Meaning that there were to be plenty of candidates. Mr. Cole said that might be his friend's reading, but he thought most people would understand what it really meant. The sum of 125/. having been spent by Mr, Snell in his previous abortive labours, it became necessary that some further arrangement should be made, and it was arranged that instead of 400/., the amount to be advanced for the preliminary expenses should be 500 i. Mr. Snell went down, and did everything that was neoeseary for the return of these gentlemen. A voluminous correspondence took plain as to how matters were going on, and favourable reports were sent up by Mr. Snell that matters were looking exceedingly comfortable, and that everything was going nice for the election. It was then neces sary that the candidates should come down ; but before coming down addresses were issued, and Mr. Snell had a large number of them circulated. In his address Lord Ranelagh gave himself a good character, stating that there should be no doubt about his politics. " I am," he said, " by birth, by education, and by strong conviction a staunch conservative, one who does not lightly make • pledge, but keeps it when he does." He pledged himself to come and " fight to the death "—and here again the volunteer spoke—but be sneaked away in • manner not at all consistent with his language. Mr. Cole read some other portion of his address, in which he said be did not like " sloping arms and doubling ; " but he sloped and doubled in quick time. (Laughter.) He also said " I know nothing about Bodmin ; but if you elect me I promise I will know • great deal more about Bodmin and Bodmin people, and you shall find in me a represen tative at these who vote for me and those who do not." Mr. Heritage was another gentleman who promised ex ceedingly well, and It became necessary that the gen tlemen who made such profuse promises should come down and see the electors. Accordingly, Lord Rane lagh eame down for the purpose of addressing a public meeting. A meeting was arranged, and the Mayor granted the use of the town-hall, and took the chair. Lord Ranelagh addressed the electors at considerable length in explanation of his political views, and pledged himself to go to the poll and " fight to the death." He left next day without paying his expenses, perhaps think ing it beneath him to have anything to do with it ; but be told the people that Mr. Snell would pay all the expenses. Mr. Snell had to pay the expenses at the inn ; he had to pay the persons who attended to support him, sod for ringing the belie. In addition to this it was thought necessary that Lord Ranelagh should attend • ball at Wadebriclge, an out place of the borough, where be made himself extremely agreeable to the electors, and also to the non-electors—the ladies. Mr. Snell had to pay the bill, which he did. This was the first and last appearance of Iced Ranelagh in Bodmin ; but he still kept Mr. Snell there, and pressed him from time to time to do every thing he could to secure the election of himself and Mr. Heritage. On the sth July he found that Lord Ranelagh had yielded to the seductions of another place, and that be was going to stand for the great county of Middle sex. He forgot his friends to whom be had made such promises; and Mr. Snell, who had been for months doing everything to forward the interests of Lord Banelagh, was, to use • common expression, left in the lurch, and he had to get out of it the best way he could. Mr. Heritage, who promised from time to time that he would be • candidate, and that he was going to give 3001. a year to the charities of the town, was also seduced away, and it was announced that he was going to Taunton. They did not even pay Mr. Snell for the preliminary expenses, and as to the douoenr that was to be paid after the election that was gone entirely. There was, so Mr. Snell wrote, • oer tainty of election es to one, and the strongest possible chance as to both if they came down. Mr. Snell had been nearly twelve months at work doing all he could to forward their interests at Bodmin, and when everything seemed so very promising they di d not choose to come down, but left Mr. Snell to get out of it as he could. Mr. Snell spent • large sum amounting to 250/. for hotel and tavern expenses, and his time was not for in any shape or form. Mr. Snell now said, "I hav e performed my contract, you have not performed yours ; pa me something for my services." Lord Ranelagb says, " ]shan't pay you ; I don't owe you anything." What was Mr. Snell to do except to bring his action to recover compensation for the loss be had sustained and the ex junse be bad been put to ? He asked for SOM. • bat the ry would give him what he was fairly entitlecito. The expenses were to be 5001., out of which only 3501. had been paid, and all his services had been given for nothing. Much correspondence was produced, and • witness was called. A discussion then took place, and Mr. Cole announced that an arrangement had been arrived at by which a verdict for plaintiff would be taken by consent, subject to • reference to Mr. Phipeon, gentleman of considerable experience on the Northern Circuit.—Verdict accordingly. In the ease against Mr. Heritage a verdict for plaintiff was taken under similar conditions. This concluded the business ot the anises. NORFOLK CIRCUIT. —balms, Aram. 3.
