The banks of the Thames at Putney presented a very animated appearance yesterday afternooe, several thousand spectators having mustered to witness the exciting scuilers' race for a stake of 200/. between Frank Kilsby, of the Old Berge House, and David Coombe', son of the late ex champion, from Putney to Mortlake, in outriggers. The race was originated through the last: rue for Doggett coat, which Coombe" won, Kish,' being second ; but the latter, thinking that he would have woo but for having boon fouled by Coombe" and his cutters twice during the contest, determined to have another trial, and the present match was made. Kffsby is 73 years of age, Weeding 5 feet s inches, weighing 104 41b in rowing cue. Wine. His first appearaoce in a public race was in De canter, leak/, in a four, with I). Coombe.", W. J. lanes, and E. Lloyd, when they defeated the Arundel crew in a canter. Since then he has rowed several 'cullers' matches, defeating, amongst others, Spencer (three times), Biffen, Wpw, wad May. He trained at Salter's, Wandsworth, in company with George Drewitt, under whose tuition he made a east im provrment ; t having taken cold on Thursday last he hsd been suffering very much from an ulcerated throat, which it was thought would have prevented him from starting. Coombes, who is in his lird year, stands 5 feet Gin inches in height, and weighed mist bib stripped. He has never rowed heiore for a stake, but has won the Putney cast, Larkia'A coat, Doggett's coat, and the Horselydown boat. lie trained at H. Kelley's, Putney, ie company with J. Sadler. and although of a rather delicate nature, was in a first-rate ixeiditiou. The morning opened very dull, with alight rain, but on arriving at Putney it cleared up a little, although up to the time of starting it was very hazy. Four stairuhcata accompanied the race, the betting on board the umpire's boat undergoing sever al changes—from 100 to 50 on Combos to even money, and tinnily S and 7 to 1 on him, at which price the betting continued to the start. Mr. H. !Salter was appointed umpire for Kilsby, George Ham. 'Lorton for Coombe'. and Mr. C. Newnham referee. if Kelley was in the bow of Coombes' cotter, while George Drewitt officiated for Kilsby, who won the toss for choice of stations, taking the Fulham side. At ten minutes past two the men rowed off to their stations, both stripping to the butt, Kilsby wearing a piece of flannel round his throat. After one break-away they got off to an excellent start, Kilsbv, who was the first to lay bold of the water with his skulls, and with a slight lead, which be did amt long retain, however, for by the time they bad reeched she pier Coombe" bad obtained the front position, alYoungh not leading by more than a few feet. At Sim 11141d$ Coombe' (who was rowing three strokes to his lepnooent's two) had increased his advantage to half a length, when Kilsby made a game effort to overhaul him, but could out get quite level, there being about a quarter of a length between tam at the Bishop's Creek, the cheers on both sides being most vociferous. At the Willows Coombes was again leading by nearly his own length, but boring his oppooeut too closely .4 the shore, a foul occurred, and an appeal was made on the part of Kilsby, the referee ordering them to row on. At the Point Coombe" led by half t clear length, which he increased to two lengths at the Dung Wharf. Ilme four minutes 55 seconds. The' same order was maintained at the Crab Tree ; but at Hammersmith-bridge Coombe", who had spurted past the Soap Works,was leading by four lengths, the time being nine ' minutes 10 seconds. At Chiswick Eyot Coombe" had put a dozen lengths between himself and opponent, who 'trig. gled gamely after the son of the ex-champion, but was evidectly labouring in his rowing caused partly by the diriculty io breathing. Baroarebridge was reached by' Coombe' in 21 minutes ZtS seconds, by 1%. ilsby in 22 minutes 10 seconds. The winning post at Mortlake was reached by C.oombee 43 wooed' in advance of Kilsby, the tines occu pied by the winner in rowing the distance being 25 minutes 10 woods. On the referee being asked for his decision, be der:sred Combos the winner, stating that both men were in fault at the time the foul occurred. After the race 251. • nide was pasted for a novice to row the winner within three mouths, from Pinney to Morthke, for a stake of 500/. • side, the novice, it is believed, being Randolph Cook, who bas savor rowed a match. TER CHANG!! OP SCUTTLING A SHIP. Joseph John Mitcheson White and Robert Sutton were again placed at the bar of the Mansion.boose, is custody of Detective Sergeant Aloes, before Sir Robert Carden, to undergo a farther examination upon the charge that they, being respectively the captain and mate of a vessel called the Snowdrop, did on the 4th of October, on the high seas, out of the body of any county of the realm, and within the jurisdiction of the Admiralty of England, unlawfully arid maliciotedy destroy the VirlOi called the snow drop, with intent thereby to prejudice divers persons who bad underwritten certain policies of insurance upon the rid ship. Mr. l win jun., spin appeared to prosecute, and Mr. Sleigh, barrister, instructed by Mr. Mullen., appeared for White, and Mr. Beard appeared for Sutton. Detective Sergeant Moss was the tint witness examined yeeterday, and said be apprehended White at the railway station in Sunderland, and M'Leod apprehended Sutton. They were both about to sail in the queen a Own. He told Captain White that he would be charged with scuttling • vcael called the Snowdrop. He said it was • most un founded charge, and asked who charged him. Witness said he did not know, but be had • warrant for his al:Pre bendal, and mu.t bring hint to London. He found • letter on Captain White, addressed to Captain White by the pri soner Sutton, asking for payment of some money due to Lim, and for which he had applied elsewhere without sae sees, and concluding with the remark that he had omitted to mention many little circumstances to which he could e:+l attention. \Vitae.' then went in search of Sutton, and met M•Lecd, another officer, with him in custody. He was taken to the police-dation, and he reed the warrant to Lim and said he would have to go to London, and he said very well, he supposed be must go. Deiced', Sergeant M'Leod said he accompanied Sergeant /km to Snoded.od and apprehended Sutton on board the tt.een'e Own. He told him he was an officer, and must apprel.eod him on a warrant, and he would be charged wlth being camerned with Captain White to mottling a slip. The prisoner said that was a very curious charge to make. lie was put in a cab, and on the way to the station he said it was dome from • malicious, spiteful feeling oc " that mitu'a part," without mentioning any name. Mr. Lewis said that was his case as far as he thee pro posed t.. Can, it, tot he gave Mr. Sleigh and Mr. Beard notice that be should at the trial produce evidence from Newcastle relative to certain policies. He thought he had produced sufficient evidence to show the destruction of We vessel. Mr. Sleigh certainly did not see that the case was at all Cleary made out. When the ship struck all was done that pr 'silly could be done to save her; and Mr. Lewis, to his openiog, admitted that the striking of the vessel was acci dental, but endeavoured to show that the vessel being in sured for total loss, the destruction of the vessel was effected in order to make the claim for the insurance • and it was clearly shown that neither of th e prisoners had any haterest in the matter beyond the capmin • brother being a part owner of the vessel. The only evidence of the scuttling wits that gathered from the uncorroborated statement of the carpenter, who, if his story were true, must be himself an accomplice, and his evidence was to the effect that, noon being told uy the captain to go down and bore holes in the slim without one weed of remonstrance be obeyed, which Mr. Sleigh thought was rather improbable, Some of the minor facts had certainly been corrobor a t e d, which might be made to St io ; but in the main points he ventured to sunsuit there had not been tbe 'lightest corn borerine, h ad, moreover, the carpenter bad made no men. Con whatever of the cirtumstences in the protest he had made, and in fact never breathed one word of what he hail said with regard to thew uttliog until he reached England, and then not for 'trend days after his arrival. The &leo dant White was well IMAM sod well connected, and was much real:acted and bore a moat irreproachable character. He certainly thought that a remand was granted fur the pur pose of pruouciez some important evidence, whereas the only witoesies called were the detective sergeants, who moved their apprehension, and whose evidence did not in the last strt!.gtbcn the case, but, on the coutrary, what they had said with regard to the observations unde by the prisoners had tended to give a more favourable aspect to the case as far as the prim:men were concerned. lu con. chilies, he hoped Sir Robert would think that the case was not entli , •'ently clear to to sect for trial. Mr. Domini on the part of Sutton, said, after what Mr. Slor , h had a-iid there reumined very little for him to aay, but he hoped if Sir Robert thought the evi dence against the captain was uocorroborated, h e would he of opinion that there really was co evidence at all against the nailer , who bed acted throughout as any other of the eh p's compeer, and at the time the ship was about to strike he did all an his power to prevent it. Sir Robert tianleu said—Not having been present at the pievimis esamimition, he WU incompetent to form an opinion, but be should judge that the Lord Mayor, who wan obliged to be elsewhere, was of opiniora that the case would have been again reulautied. Ile suggested that a further r,-m should lie takes. Mr. Sleigh said he should wake no objection to that Course, and ustde an application for bail. Sir IZubert said Le was eitseted precowly the ram* with respect to the neatest of hail, and could not take upon biro. wa the I t•spoudibiiity to accede to the application, as there bad been already ouch evideoce as to induce the Lord Mayor b. refuse bail, and although no more evidence hod beet tokluoe,l. the facts .till remained the Bann as when brought before the Lord Meyer. Th.• ilefen.lant...,:roeventually remanded, to be brought up “ future d. r, in order that the Lord Mayor, before u boa the t 1,.,4 Leen previously head, might give Lis deasiou upon the cam. THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 14, 1864. LAW INTELLIGENCE. EQUITY COURTS.—Dic. (Brion rho Lord Manorliar.) MUTT r. WILLOWS. This war an appeal from Vios•Chaecellor Stuart. It ap peared that in cootemplatiou of • marrnge between Henry Willows and Elizabeth Stony, widow, °us moiety of a sum of -1,000!. was settled on the latter for her sole and separate u.e, with remainder to her children , and the other moiety reunited in her possession only, and this come under the control of her husband. Willows, the husband, became in debted to Spirett, sod an action was brought against him, the service in the proceedings on which it was alleged be avoided, and when the suit was at length brought up to execution, steps were taken by him to deprive the plaintiff of the fruits of a judgment which he bad obtained. Willows i was subsequently made bankrupt, and to the proceedings against him a question arose whether • post-nuptial settlement of the 2,0001. of which his wife was possessed, and which had not been settled to her sole and separate use, to such use, and to remove the fund from any liability of her husband, was • valid tran saction. The present suit was instituted praying that the settlemeat might be declared null and void ; and an in junction was prayed to restrain the trustees of the settle meet from dealing with the fund so as to render it un available as meets of her husband. The cue on the part of the defendants was that at the time of the marriage there was a parole agreement between the contracting parties that the remaining 2,0110/. should be at some time after the marriage settled on the wife, and that she having insisted on that arrangement being nude it was a bona 6de trail 'action ; while at the time of the settlement the husband was possessed of means sufficient to discharge all liabilities upon him. The Vice. Chancellor made a declaration that the settle-meet was void as against the creditors of the husband, and ordered that out of 2,(001., the subject of the alleged settlement, the plaintiff's costs of this suit, his debt with interest, and his costs in the pro ceediogs in bazurruptcy, be paid. Hence the preeciat aiTYII - Melina and Mr. Phear appeared for the plaintiff ; Ifr. Bacon, Mr. LieGex and Ur. Sadder for the defendants. Judgment was postysieed. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.—DEc. 13.

The defendants pai4nto court 1001., sod the only question in the cause wee whether this sum was sufficient to compensate the plaintiff. Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., Mr. Digby Seymour, Q.C., and Mr. Russell appeared for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Bovill, Q.C., sad Mr. Charles Pollock for the defendants._ _ _ The facts were, that on the night of March sth the plain tiff was in the mail train on his way from London to Mae borough, arid when at Rugby some carriages were joined on to the train, and this was done in such a way that a con. siderable coucussimi occurred. The plaintiff was at this moment sitting upon a stool sorting letters, and the violence of the concussion gave him a wrench, twisted him round, and knocked him against the desk. He was obliged to go off duty on the 21st March for four or five days, and he had been once or twice away stoat He could not do his work as well as before the accident. He had twitches and starts, and could not sleep well at night ; be found difficulty in walking, he could not sit upright, and he could not say that he had at the present time much unproved in health. In cross-examination the plaintiff stated that he bad been absent from duty from ill-health several times before the accident ; three of these times having occurred in 186 J, and having extended over a quarter of the year. When the plaintiff called in Mr. Canton. a medical man, be complained of pain and other symptoms, but there was nothing beyond what the plaintiff said to show any injury. It was, however, suggested that the probability was that there had been some injury to the spine. Dr. Waller Lewis also saw the plaintiff on behalf of the Yost-ottice during the time he was away, but be was not examined es a witness. On behalf of the defendants, Mr. Skey, ex-president of the College of Surgeons, was called, and stated that he, with Mr. Lawreooe, the senior surgeon of St. Ihirtholo• me sea, examined the plaintiff particularly with reference to spinal disease, and he could discover no indication of spinal diatom* affecting either the spinal column or the cord within it and his opinion was that there was not a vestige of disease in that region. The Jury tat the coeclusion of Mr. Skey's evidence) said that they did not think it nieomeary to hear any further evident., for they were unanimously of opinion that the hill/. paid into court was sufficient to compensate the plain. tiff for any injury which he had suffered. The Lord Chief Justice said that he was entirely of the same opinion. Verdict for the defendants. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. Die. 13. (Before the Judge °ratify.) CIIRWTSI:I r. MULOCI.

The prisoner, who had conducted himself with very great effrontery during the trial, mclaimed in an impudent tone, " Thank you, my lord, that is the best thing that was ever done for me in my life.* William Stockton Bartie,l9, pleaded guilty to a charge of feloniously setting fire to a stack of barley, the property of Helen Anne Tasker. _ He wu sentenced to six years penal servitude.

The prosecutrix, a rather good looking young woman, it appeared, was in the service of a Mr. Nicholson, a woollen. draper, at Chelmsford ; and Major Masters, o f Royal Marines, to whom the prisoner was servant, lodged in the house, and the prosecutrix was engaged to wait upon him, and she thus became acquainted with the prisoner, who ap peared to have paid her attentions and to have expressed a desire that she would many him. The prosecutrix did not seem to have given him any encouragement, and this greatly excited the prisoner, who was beard to utter threats of violence against her. About a fortnight before the trans action in question took plan the prisoner met the prose matrix walking with a young man to whom she was en gaged to be married in the New-road, at Chelmsford, and be went up to them and said to the companion of the pro semen:, Yon are the fe ll ow I want , and struck him, and the prosecutrix was very much alarmed at the violence of his conduct. On October 11 it appeared that the prose. cutrix was makitg the bed in Major Masters's room, when the prisoner came in and accused hero( having told something about him to his mistress, but she denied having done so, and told him to leave the room. Immediately she did so the prisoner put his arm round her neck, Lod inflicted a very severe wound on her throat with a razor.

Ho wee shortly after wards taken into custody, and when he was told what he was charged with. he said that the ptheecutrix had been aggravating him to do it a long time, and now he bad done it, and heat the same time inquired if the prosecutrix was dead. When be was asked what he had dose with the razor with which the wound had been inflicted, be at first denied having had a razor in his possession, but he afterwards said that he might as well tell the truth, he had thrown the razor into the river as he walked up the Loodon•road s and he intended to have thrown himself in. . The prisoner put several questions to the prosecutor with a view to show that there had been improper intim►cy between them, and that he Lad given her a great many presents and she bad promised to marry him. The pro. secutrix, however, positively denied that there was any truth io the suggestions made by the prisoner. The prisoner put in a long written statement, in which he imputed most disgusting conduct to the prosecutrix, for which there did not appear to be the slightest found►tion. He also declared that at the time he committed the act he was not in a right state of mind and did not know what he was doing. The jury found the prisoner Guiity of wounding the prosecutrix with intent to do her gtievous bodily harm, and the learned judge said be would take time to consider what sentence should be pared.

The ftecorder, in passing sentence, observed that the prisoner had been convicted on the clearest possible evi• deuce, and no person who bid heard the cam could doubt that the prisoner was a regular receiver of stolen goods, though for a cloak to his iniquities. he ostensibly kept a general dealer's shop. This sort of offence it was the duty of the court to endeavour to put down, and the sentence of the court was that the prisoner be kept in penal servitude for the term of ten yeses. Julia Iked, 20, labourer, was indicted for unlawfully attempting to rob John Slater Marshall on the sth November last. Mr. Kemp coodacted the promentim ; the primmer was not defended.

THE POLICE CMOS. IMPORTANT PRESENTMENT BT THE G& JURY. The gentlemen of the grand jury, on bringing up the last of the bills, banded to the court the following present ment :—" The creed jury of the December Semmes, 1864, desire to coolirm the several presentments made by previous greed juries as to the uselessness of the greed jury system in advaociog the administree Mon of justice and protecting the Liberty of the subject. For the following reasons they urge the abolition of this court as far as the metropolitan districts are coacerned:— That the cases brought before the magistrates' courts and committed for trial having been carefully examined by highly qualified and experienced legal men should go direct to tri►l, and not pus through any intermediate court, where necessarily only an imperfect examination can be made ; for if the accused be innocent, his innocence would be more manifest to the world by his acquittal in open court than by his escape by a secret tribunal ; while to the guilty it affords a chance of amps, for it the prosecutor has been tampered with, since tbs.:armament he can give such weak, imperfect, and unsatisfactory evideoce that the greed jury, rejecting the charge as not sustained, throw out the bill; wherca if the case went direct into the superior court the duplicity or reticence of the witness would at once be detected, as the original depositions would be before the judge. While we believe that there is no protection afforded by this court to the accused which would not be foetid is the superior court, we entailer that it entails upon prceecutors great unnecessary trouble, inoonveniecos, and expense, by compelling them to attend with all their witnesses for several days in cold stow lobbies and passages, which seem constructed for the united purposes of excluding this light of Heaven and admitting the wind from every quarter. The effect is that prosecutors consequently permit the riuilty to ,escape rather than expose themselves to such locative triremes. The power the court has of sending up indictments meant individuals which may be brought Woes them, but which have never been iuvestieated by a magistrate, we consider most objectionable, for we regard it as a most sacred principle of justice that the accused and the accuser should be face to face. For the above and many other equally valid reasons we consider this court au annoyauce rather than a help to the administration of justice, and we beg most respectfully that oar presentment may be transmitted by the judges of assize to bee Majesty's government.— (Signed) GEOZGL SWAN NOTTAGE, Foreman.—Old Bailey, I Dec. 13, 1861 . _ _ " ADDENDA. —Thersod jury would call attention to the large itimberof robberies, attended with great personal vWencts. ooeurring in the neighbournood of Whitechapel, and would recommend that a larger staff of police should he put on that district. and that a more vigilant super version be kept over the well-known bad characters that abound iu that neighbourhood." The Rewriter replied that the presentment should be for to the proper quarter, and after thankiog the grand jury for their services, discharged them from further at• ten lance. _ _ The court, after disposing of cases of no public interest, adjourned. . . _ (Before the Common Serjeaot.) Aired Teattrs, 31, who last session pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with forgery and fraud, and morseling his goods from his creditors, he being a bankrupt, wee brought up for judgment. The Common serjeast, in passing museum, said be had put the prisoner back in order that some inquiries might be made as to his former respectability, el he was eery gist to bud that up to the time of committing this crime he had borne the most irreproachable character. Under all the circumstances of the case, he thought he should be justified in refraining from passing a sentence of peel servitude. He should therefore sentence him to be imprisoned and kept to hard Libour for the space of IS calendar mouth.. Elizol4lA elm - stake, 40, a woman poorly dressed in widow's weds, and who exhibited great symptoms of dit tress. pleaded guilty to an indictment charging her with fraudulently obtaining the slim of 41. se. from the City of London Union. Mr. Seeley appeared for the uoion, and in laying the facts of the case before hie lordship the learned counsel said be was instructed to it term the court that the City of Loudon Union had no desire to press heavily oa the prisoner ; in fact. they booed the court would deal lisaiestly with her, but they had been compelled to give her into custody as an example to others. It would appear that the prisoner's mother had been in the habit of receiving pariah relief, and in June bet order expired, and an otheer went from the union to where she lived and gave her anotber order for we mooths. At the end of that six mouths be again went to her house to renew her order. He found the prisoner there, and she told her that her mother had goo out, and would cot be CLERK •,T WELL William irCabe was summoned, at the instance of James Clift, a canine doctor, for unlawfully detaining a valuable bull terrier, the property of Mr. Thomas BACON a licensed victualler, of /Ultimate. . . . Mr. RiCketta, waippeared for the complainant, said the dog in question, which was a very valuable one, wu in the charge of one Clark, sad he was taking the dog out for a walk on Sunday week, in the St. Pancras•road, when the defendant came and took the dog away, stating that it belonged to him. It wu true that the defendant had a dog, bet it was quite different to the dug in court. The dog produced was a most peculiar one, very tame, even teeth, about 18 months old, and a bad ratter, while the de fondest's dog was a ferocious one, teeth overhung, about three ur four years old, and a good ratter, and could kill twelve rats in • minute. Mr. Chit mid he had charge of the dog for its owner. It was not a good ratter, and its value was about 12 guineaa, and it was not more than IS months old. The defendant's dog WU underlituag. J. Clark said he WU • dealer in dogs, and sold catmint lirCabe's dog wu a very different animal to the one in court. WCabe's dog was overhung half an inch, and would till 12 rata in • minute, while complainant's dog could not kill ooe in live ruiuutes. A part of the ears of:defen dant's dog wee cut. The ears of complainant's dog were not cut. Thu Owner of the dog rid he bought it in Much last. and the dog was in the same oondition now u when be bought it Several other witnesses were examined, and their evi dence proved conclusively that the dog was the property of Mr. Bacon. The defendant mid the dog was brought to him by one of his men. Hs endeavoured to prove that the dog be longed to him. Mr. Barker made an order for the immediate restoration of the dog to its owner. - . _ Mr. RiCketts *imbed for costa, as hisiciient had been put to great expense to settles possessioo of hi. property. The hfagistrate made an order against the defendant for 235. costa. L.ktiBETH. Bridget Green, eliuist,l, --- praititute and notorious thief, and James Hay(4l, a young fellow of very suspicious appearance, were charged with taking en active part in a desperate row, which has been going on since Saturday even ing last amongst the drunken and lawless inhabitante of Franciacourt, Lambeth-walk. On Monday • young fellow named Murray was • charged at this court with stabbing • young woman named Green, who is at present in St. Thomas's Hospital in a dangerous state. The female now charged is the sister of the injured woman at the hospital, and from the testimony of half a dozen wit nesses it appeared that after the disposal of the charge at this court on Monday the row was renewed by the female, who had brought what the witnesses called her " Drury lane gang" into the court, and they at once commenced demolishing the houses of their opponents, so that at one time the row preseoted • ♦ry serious upset. Tongs, pokers, choppers, and missiles of every description were brought into requisition, and bad it not been for the great exertions of the police several lives must have been sacri ficed. At one time the gang to whom the prisoners belong took complete possession of the court, and threatened to set fire to it, when the polio, were obliged • second time to force their way in, and they still remain there. In fact, the neighbourhood sine' Saturday evening hie been kept in a state of great alarm. Having heard the evidence pro and ooe.: Mr. Elliott convicted the male prisoner in a penalty of If., or two mouths, and sentenced the female to six months' hard labour. TRA)7IO RETURN& Mies Pee- U.

The North Loudon train, which left the new Kingston terminus at 3.25 p.m.. reached the Mortlake station at 3.53. when it stopped for the purpose of taking up and setting down passengers. It bad hardly resumed its journey before the driving axle of the engine broke in two, and the engine became immove able, thus completely blocking the up line, and considerably alarming the passengers. As soon as the nature of the ac• cideot was ascertained, Mr. W bite, the sastion•master, telegraphed to the railway authorities at Waterloo-station requesting assistance, when Mr. Williams, the passenger superintendent, and Mr. Liddell, from the office of Mr. Scott, were quickly on the spot. It was, however, found im possible to remove the injured locomotive at once from the rail, and while men were employed in trying to effect this operation the up-trains from Richmond, Twickenham, Kingston, and Windsor were rapidly accumulating in the rear of the disabled train, till some eight or nine trains had got together, reaching a long distance along the line front Mortlake in the direction of Richmond. Trains were despatched from town along the up rails to within a few yards of the Mortlake station, and the passengers were thus conveyed to town by degrees, about an hour and a loaf having elapsed before the first batch of passengers could be despatched.
