THE FATAL GAS EXPLOSION AT MANCHESTER. An inquest was held on Monday, on the bodies el Samuel Crowther, photographer, Peter-an* aged 39 yaws, and his sou Arthur, aged two years, who were killed by an erpkons at gas in Potariareat, Manchester, on Berudey. Mr. Thomas Torkington, beerhouse keeper, Deliberate, maid that be was passiug the deceased's shop in Peter-street, at a quarter past five o'clock on Saturday steeping, and when about • yard from the window he heard a loud explo- sion. saw a Bash of light, and the glass flew nut. Simul tsseously the dee-seat s wife rushed through the door as though the explosion .was forcing her. Witness ran into the house, but when be got to the middle door, a smell of sulphur overpowered him, and be crept on his Lade and knees. He got into the ba ck kitcheu where the deceased worked, sod be found the child, whose clothes were buruit.g. He carried it into the street, sod a woman took it away. Witness went into the room a second time, sad found the father in a kneeling position, dead, with his bead against some bricks and debris of the wall. Wit. mess procured assistance, and the body was removed. On examiumg rho premiss. about an hoar after the ex plosion, be found the gable end at the back almost com pletely blown out, and the place was in rains.—Samuel William Crowther, an intelligent little boy, eight years old, said that he was in the back kitchen with his father, who was making gas from a retort which was no the fire. His father had placed some manganese it the re tort, to which he screwed the metal pipe. He then placed it on the tire, and after it had been there about ten minutes he told witness to go out of the room. He did so, washed his howls eta water tub in the yard, and while there a spark fell just before him. He immediately ran through an 'ion gate into the street. The explosion took place as he passed through the gate. Witness's brother Arthur was playing in the kitchen while his father was watching the retort. After his father had taken the manganese from the paper le,;, witness placed the bag be the side of the fireplace in the front shop. The hag produced was the one that he placed there.—Mr. Morris Hughes, joiner and photo grapher, Dorset-street, Broughton-road, said he had made some apparatus for the deceased to exhibit lighted oxygen gm, and he called at deceased's house on Saturday afternoon, at half-put four o'clock. Oxygen was produced by mixing certain proportions of manganese and chlorate of potash, which were heated on the tire in au iron retort. When witness was at the deceased's house, an orler came from Mr. Morgan, Market-11, e. for some oxygen gas. as Mr. Morgan had had a " blow up." and tl e gas was wanted that evening. Deceased said he bad no apparatus ready, and that he thought he should not " bottler with it," as be had no "stall" is tLe house.--Mr. .1 ohs Odber, Macclesfield-street, said he wilt keel for Mr. Morgan, optician, Market-plate. About faux o'clock on Saturday, witness went to the deceased's shop, and ordered some oxygen gas for au exhibition which was to take place that evening at the l'eodleton 31e.:bautcs' Institute. The deceased said he could not mare it, as his apparatus and chemicals were at Leeds. lf, h iwever, .Mr. Morgan could tin.' a retort, the deceased soul he would accommodate him. Witness procured a mercury retort from 3lr. Mottershesd'a, chemist, and, as are 'aired a tube, he got one from Mi. Morgan ' s workshop, wh:ch was bent, and witness thought it am ta . iile for the purpose. Mr. Morgan gave the wane*s about of maucanese and potash, mixed, and witness took it, with the retort and job.. to the deceased's shop. In accord ince with Mr. Morzan's insttuctions, witness got &gorier pound of 1111111' ' ,10e10 at Mr. Mottershead ' a, red g a v e it t o Mr. Crowther, as Mr. Morgan thought that the mix tute re quired a iittle more of that article. Mr. Crowther said he would tell th .t pound of niang.inese to the other. delivered the apparatus and the chemicals to the Ceceumed at fve minutes to bee o'clock. Professor lloszoe, of Ovren's College, said that busin g teen the report of the explosiou in that morniug newspapers, and being interested in all matters, relatieg to the manufacture of gas. he wrote to Captain Palin, the chief constable, for permission to make a cotuolete ineestiga ton of the Cale. That permission was given him Red Le visited the scene of the ex phaeton. He obtained a la, son taining :ile, k substauce which had been found in the tire• place is the deceaasil'a shoo. tin examining it at his labora tory, he founi that it was competed of chlorate of potash, manganese, wad powdered coal, or possibly laumblaik or bout. He timugist it most likely that it was lampblack or soot which had been added fur the purpose of adulterat ing the tt..in,;ae,ese. He had reason to kuow that such adulteration took piece, and that accidents sometimes re sulted front it. A case happened about a rear ago. tut fortunately did not exult in personal injure, the explosiou occurring trona the circumstance that what purported to be insugaue,e was nothing but powdered coal. The addition of powdered coal, soot, or lampblack to manganese wade a sal/stymie about as explosive as gunpowder. A peeper mixture for oxygen was about three parts of chlorate of potash to one of manganese. He had not thoroughly toalased the substence found in the bag at the deceased's bogie, except that Le found it contained the articles he had nernel, and that it was explosive. He carefully examiued thr. e lots of manganese furnished to him by Police-constable Ir.venport. Uao lot, which was xt:ttra to be from Mr. Jlorgsti s, from which that was taken to tusks the mixture sent to Mr. Crowther, was adulterated with about per cent. of soot or powdered coal—he be lieved it to be soot. Another lot, furnished by Mr. tl. Hughes. druggist, thateaton-street, from whom Mr. Morgan bad said Le Purchased the manganese, was pure • and a third lot, procured at .Mr. Ilottersbead's, was alb; pure. The adulteration of manganese with soot and coal was be coming very common, and it was accompanied with serious fleets. this season a great number of persons might be making gas from manganese, to be used is pictorial and other exhibitfons ; and if the manganese was not pure very serious con f itteocrs, as in the present case, might ensue. An aren't:it ihight happen to his atudents, who were con stantly waking among such chemicals, both at the college and at !mine. Thee might even purchase some of this very materiel, and be seriously injered. Bearing all thew- things in mind, be thought that it was his duty to come forward and state the result of his investigations. Mr. Morgan said that having all exhibition at the Pen dleton Mechanics' Institute which would require the use of oxygen g., he commenced at hall-past three o'clock on Saturday afternoon to make some of that gas. After he had made a smell quantity, which he found was not sut6• elect, he se•.t his boy to Mr. Hughes's shop for the " usual quantity" of chlorate of potash and oxide of man ganese. He stated "usual quantity" because Mr. Hughes knew that he war in the habit of purchasing it in propor tion§ of :las. of potash to abbe. of manganese. The boy returned with two parcels, one containing bibs. of the chlorate of po'asb, and the other containing 31bs. of man pow. Witness placed about jib. of masg►neo in a parcel be itself. and nixed the remainder nth the ado rate of potash. He then took about lib. of the mixture, placed it in a sheet-iron retort, and proceeded to make the gas al the mural way. After the retort bad been ou the fire about a m,nlite it exploded. Witness's right hand was injured, and the room sew tilled with smoke. He was not a cbee•st, but he had mink oxygen gas about twelve years. and thinking that Le might have made a mistake as to the proper proportion of manganese he told his m►n to get another pound to Le added to the mixture that was ■pared, and to take the whole to Mr. Crowther. Witness also thought that the explosion might have occurred from a stoppage to the metal or iudiarubber pipe, which conducted the gap from the retort to the panne:. The m►terials with which he made the tint lot of gas. and which was manufac tured without accident, were also got at Mr. Hughes's shop. In sddirion to the chemical mixture which witness sent to Mr. croather, be also forwarded a purifier and con nexions to two gas hags, but they were not used, as Mr. Crowther had a bottle (purifier) of his own. Witness saw Mr. Crowther at a quarter past five o'clock. and Mr. Crowther raid him that the gas was being made, and that it would 1 , 11 reedy is ► quarter of an hour. When witness beard of the explesion ma Saturday night, he remarked to bin wife that as it wan the memo, that had occurred from the use of the some mixture, he thought there most te some. thing wrong with that filature, lle a died at Mr. Hughes's shop after eleven o'clock that night, to ask whether the chemicals he bad scut were all right, but lie did lot see Mr. Hustle.. If Mr. Crowther used all the mixture wituess sent Lim (which, with the pound of manganese purchased at Mr. Motterabeara, would weigh lb.) except that pro duced, he wird three or four time, too much. Charles Holt. Mr. Hughes's porter, said he served Mr. Horgan'a boy with the chlorate of potash and =agents* ea Saturday. He sent &lb. of potash, because that was all they had in the shop. He took the manganese from a drawer in the shop which. when empty, Was tilled from a large tin kept upstairs. The manganese given to Police— constable baveopoit, and handed by him to Professes Roscoe, was taken from the same drawer. Nothing black. such as soot or limphlack, was added to the manganese gives to Mr. Morgau's boy. Mr. E. 1.. Hughes, who volunteered his evidence, said that he was perfectly certain that nothing but manganese, the game as that supplied to the policeman for l'refeas..r Roscoe, was given to Mr. Morgan's boy. lie had no pow. dared coal on his premises ; lampblack was both lighter in 'weight and more expensive than manganese, and as to soot he had not any.—The Cormier Not in the chinir.eys':— Witnesa : No ; they were classed only last week.—Witnese added that he did not think he was accountable for the state of niaugatese after it left big sop, especially when it was not analysed till after the lager of two da t a. After the examinaii Otis of Edward Wood. Mr. Morgan's boy, and l'otioeoinatal,ie Davenport, Mr. Morgan, ru reply to the Ceram r, said that the manganese he received from Mr. Bombe., and a portlon of which was handed to Professor Roscoe, was not adulterated by him in the slightest degree. The room was then cleared, and after ball an hour's con sultation the jury expraestel a desire to see Mr. Hughes. The Coroner toil him that the jury considered it was proved that the explosive material which hail caused the d-..atha of Mr. Crowther and his son had been supplied by biro, acd he 'motioned him that if he had anything to say it would be written, and might be used against him.—Mr. Hughes re. posted that it was impo.sible anything could have been mixed with the manganese before it weed out of his shop. The jury then bristly conoulted. rod returned a verdict of amaidaughter against Mr. Hughes, who was committed for trial at the IJSIZOIL The Coroner offered to take bail, which was furnished.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.—Dac. 20. SECOND COURT. Mts. Term Nisi Prins &tamp at OatlithalL —Motors Mr Justice Blum sad a Camino* Jury.) NEKTON V. ROBS AND LIXOTKIII. This was an seta= of trespass, in busking and entering the plaintiff's premises, in which he carried oa the business of a wins and spirit Imuschant, , and situ►te at the corner of Susses and Winchester streets, Pimlico,;and also for an illegal sale of stock, &c. Mr. 1). Seymour, Q.C., and Mr. H. James were counsel for the plaintiff ; Dr. Keenly and Mr. Kemp were counsel for the defendants. . - The pTaintiff, who claims the premises, is the eon of Mr. Newton, who was formerly a member of the English bar, and his case bar, was that iii the early part of this year he and his father left England for Algeria, relative to the pur chase of a cork forest in that country, but before his depar ture he placed his brother-in-law, named (Maypole, ori the premises as . his clerk, for the purpose of carrying on the business daring his abeisooe. On their return plaintiff found ' the defendant, the well-known auctioneer, m possession under a bill of sale given to him by Claypole for an advance of money. The plaintiff disputed toe validity of the pro ceedings, and he took possession of the premises whilst the defendants' men were absent. Defendant and Claypole re. gained possession, and then Claypole and his men turned cut the plaintiff's men. The furniture, stock, were sold by the defendant Roby for 1301. The defence was that the house and premises, together with the furniture, stock, be., were cot in the possession, and did not belong to the plaintiff, but to Claypole. His name was painted over the door, and the invoices , together with the reosipta for the rent and taxes, were made out in his name. A letter was put in and read , 30th April, 1864, from the plaintiff to a man then carrying on the busi ness for him. The letter was in these terms :—" Mr. Clay pole will call on you to examine the stock which he has purchased of me, subject to his approval after inspection. On confirmation you will give him possession on my behalf." That, it wu contended, was a complete sale of the property to Claypole. In reply to that it was urged by the plaintiff that Claypole entered into an arrangement with his sister to carry on the business on her behalf, rendering her monthly accounts, and he receiving half the net profits for his trouble, but the defendant urged that it was only • portion of the " juggle " whereby the defen dant was to lose his money. Mr. Farber had advanced 100/. to Claypole on the stock. fix., but that was repaid by Mrs. Newton's trustees. There was a second advance by Mr. Farber, which the defendants' advance paid off. Re ferring to the count of breskiog and entering, Dr. Kenealy said it was but an imagination of the special pleader, for all that was broken was • miserable pane of glass worth not more than td. Talk about imagination, he must say be bad read more imagination in that count than he had ever read in Homer, Milton, and all the other poets. (Laughter.) Before April 30 negotiations passed between the parties (admitted on both sides, relative to Claypole's purchasing the business. The cue involved a great many collateral questions, and the evidence was very conflicting. The learned Judge, in summing up, said the question was whether, when t►e defendants, Roby and Claypole, took OffeS9loll of the. house and furniture, &c., they were the plaintiff's property. The jury returned a verdict for the pl►intiff—damages 350/. for the goods, and 501. the trespass—together 4001. 1,0001., the bankrupt giving him 3.6 d. for each aoceptance. One Smith, of Briibtos, for the same payment bad accepted to the utast of 9001. A boy in his employ, named Ashley, 13 years of age, receiving 10a. a weak, had accepted for 8811. Marshal, another lad, had accepted for 7241. ; and Bye, 18 or 19 years of age, had accepted for 9001. These were came el peculiar atrocity, se iatroducdng youths into the mystery of commercial (muds. The assignees asked that the order of discharge should be wholly refused, sad that the bankrupt might be notepad to imprisonment under the 221st section. _ The bankrupt stated, in 'newer to the court, that he had been bankrupt in 1858, and got an immediate second class certificate. He began business immediately, and got on very well for two, or three years, but bad since been living from hand to mouth. Altogether he had been in business twenty JOWL His Honour said that the charges ag►inst the bankrupt had been fully eatabliabed, •od be could not help saying that it was one of the worst cases of accommodation bills that had been brought before the court. It was quite clear that the bankrupt had been guilty of carrying on trade by fictitious capital, and of contracting debts without reason able expectation of being able to pay them. He had put in circulation accommodation bills to the amount of 13,0001. in about twelve months. After his former bankruptcy, in 1858, he appeared to have gone on well for a time. and bad not departed from the ordi nary course of trading ; then, unfortunately, according to his own account, he had recourse to • regular system of manufacturing bills. Many of those bills were drawn upon persons who were quite irresponsible, some of them receiving only • few shillings • week. Nothing could be more injurious to the commercial public than such a course of proceeding. The bankrupt stated that be bad been twenty years in business. It was the more to be re gretted that he had given way to such a system. The court was bound to visit the bankrupt with severe punishment. This was • worse case than that of experts Barker, decided by the Lord Chancellor. There there were mitigating circum stances; tut here it was impossible to feel anything like pity for the bankrupt. Having regard to all the circum stances, the court felt bound to refuse the order of discharge, arid to award that the bankrupt be imprisoned for six months under the 159th sec. of the act of 1661.

THE HEALTH OF LONDON. It appears from the return issued by authority of the RagistrarGeneral, that the mortality of London wan 11M, so high in the week that ended last Saturday as it had been io any of the previous five weeks. The deaths were 1,449. The average number of deaths for the fiftieth week of ten years, 19:;4-03, u , with a correction for increase of vulation, 1,434. The actual result of the last week's re gistration agrees nearly with the estimated number. Scar latina and typhus were the most fatal of the zymotic or epidemic diseases ; the former having caused 83, the latter 7f; deaths. Deaths from measles declined to 47. Fifty deaths occurred from whooping cough, 22 from croup, sad eight from smallpox. Three deaths from scarlatina and eight from typhus were registered in the Shore ditch district. • Eight from the former disease and four from the latter were in Bethnal-green. Seven from scarlatina and six from typhus in the Greenwich district ; 2 from scarlatina and 3 from typhus in Plumstead. There were 5 fatal cases of measles in Poplar. In the last three weeks the deaths from bronchitis were snocemively, • 234, 290, and Ic9 ; those from pneumonia were I'2-i. 97, and 123. A widow died at the age of RI years. Four children, the age of the oldest being not more than six months, died at 35, Great Coram-strset, three of dismissed bowels, and one of diseased chest, the estate of death hems in each instance certified by the medical attendant. They were the children of female domestic servants ; and the house is stated by the Registrar to he an institution for the reception of ille gitimate children. Two of the deaths occurred on the 12th inst. ; one on the 13th, and one on the 15th. Last week the births of 951 boys and 1,001 girls, in all 1,1 , 52 children, were registered in London. In the ten con respooding weeks Jf the years 1:331-63 the average number (corrected) was 1,907. SINCULAR AND FATAL OCCURRENCE.--011 the evening of Tuesday, 6th inst., Mr. Jammu, spirit-dealer, was sitting in the house of Mr. Parker, spirit-dealer, Waterloo-street, Kilmarnock, discussing a " frieodly glass" with Andrew least. collier, and Mr. spirit.mer. chant, Glasgow. The conversation bad turned on natural history, and while discussing the peculiarity of only the lower jaw, in man, being used in eating, Mr. Jameson made a bet that he would put his thumb in lust's mouth, and, by bolding his lower jaw, prevent best from biting the thumb. It is alleged that at first but declined, but on Ming again asked be acceded to Jamesoe's request. beet tried to bite the thumb once, twice, but did not succeed. On the third attempt, best made a snatch at Jameson 's thumb before he could get a firm hold of his jaw, and bit the thumb at the first joint. Next day the ume party met again in Parker's. sod after taking some liquor they hired a machine to convey beet home. On Thursday morning, Jameson 's band swelled to some extent, and Dr. Aiken was called in, who examined the hand. No decrease in the swelling taking place, Dr. Aiken called in Dr. Pax . tou to assist him, when the symptoms began to moms a serious aspect. The disease had spread up the arm, sod it was cut in several places to try and confine the mortification, for suck. it appeared to be, to that part of his body. On Thursday the doctors gave their opinion that Mr. Jameson could not be expected to live long. This in formation was conveyed to Mr. Gross, fiscal, and that gentle men, in presence of Sheriff-Substitute Nome, Captain Galt, Mr. Fulton, slieriff-Clerk-Depute, and Drs.

(Before Mr. Justice Wills, and a Special Jury.) MORN TilE LONDON GENERAL OVNIBCS COMPANT (LIMITED).-Al This was an action to recover damages for injuries sus. tained by the plaintiff through falling from an omnibus whilst alighting. Mr. Kersl►ke, Q C.. and Mr. H. James appeared for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and Mr.Gilfard for tte defendants. On the lull January last the plaintiff, who was a man sixty years of age, and had been a coachman and omnibus driver himself, got into a three-horse omnibus opposite the Mataion.house. Has wife got into the vehicle with him ; but the plaintiff soon afterwards left the inside and seated himself upon the top of the omnibus. They proceeded along unborn and Oxford-street, and the omnibus pulled up at t►e corner of North Audley street to allow the plaintiff to get down. According to the plaiutiff's case, he had got as far as the last step but one, when the omnibus was driven on, and he was thrown into the road. A Hansom cab was following, and the driver being unable to pull up io time, the plaintiff was injured by the cab. His bead was a good deal hurt, and the tips of two of the left band hogers had to be taken off. The plaintiff was taken to the hospital, where he remained for a month, and when be came out he was in such a state that he could not cross a road without assistance. The injury to the bead had not yet entirely passed sway, for there still remained a sense of heaviness and weariness, sod be could n.,t remain in a stooping position for any length of time. There was still a swelling upon the head, and so late as last month there was a discharge from wounds there. The case for the defendants was that there was no negli gence on the part of their servants. It was not true that the omnibus moved on while the plaintiff was getting down, but the accident happened in ttis way—when the plaintiff got upon the last step but one, he paused, and said to his wife, who was going on further, " You pay for both," and then thinking he was nearer to the ground than he really wag he stepped back and fell. The conductor went to his assistance, and was shout lifting him up when the cab "whisked" by and caused the accident. The jury founds verdict for the defendant.. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE.

Q.C., on the part of Admiral Codriegton, moved that the co-respondent he condemned in the coats (tempt iu so far as they related to Lieutenant Mildmay. Mr. Price, Q.C., on behalf of Colonel Anderson, resisted the motion ou the ground that the conduct of the peti timer had diseutitled him to his costa. The learned gentle man contended that the intimacy which had existed between the respondent had entirely grown out of the mode of life which the petitioner himself had sanctioned. The admiral had not exercised due vi„;ihnice over his wife, especially con sidering the peculiar terms on which they were living ; and in that manner it might he said that he had in a certain sense conduced to her misconduct. Moreover it was in evi dence that when she was desirous of renewing matrimonial cohabitation he had repelled her advances, arid a husband where married history bad been such was not one that had a right to come before the court and ask for the condemna tion of the co-respondent in the cost. Sivahey appeared on the same aide. Mr. Bovill. iu reply, urged that the full court, in the case of " Evens y. Evans and Robinson." had laid down the general proposition that condemnation in the costs should follow the proof of adultery ; and he submitted that there was nothing in the present case to take it out of the rule. The matters to which his learned friend referred had been raised is the course of the trial, and his pleas had been negatived by the jury. The fact was that it was Mrs. Cod rington who had declined to adopt the course of life which her husband bad marked out for her. He was obliged by his official duties to keep early hours, whereas when they went into society she refused to come home with him. Besides, there was the strongest possible evidence in the letter of the respondent's own father that it was she alone who was re sponsible for the estrangement that had sprung up between the parties. . _ Dr. Spinks also addressed the court on behalf of Admiral Codringion. Sri J. P. Wilde said the Court felt entitled to remorse to itself the amplest discretion in this question of costs. It by to means followed that because a man was guilty of adultery he must pay the buttoner.; expenses. The matter must turn upon the conduct of the petitioner, of the no-re spondent, and of his wife. Ile proposed in this case care fully to examine that conduct ; and be would state on another ixamion what his decision would be. It was then arranged that the motions of the respondent and the co-respondent for a new trial should be taken on the second Thursday of next term. ANDERSON r.ANDFRSON AND CREWE. Dr. Tristram moved that the court should n;lte an order excluding the respondent from any interest in a stun of 10,0001., which had been settled on the parties at the mar riage, the petitioner agreeitg to pay the respondent an annuity of 120/. He also prayed that the damages against the co-respondent (2,000/.) be paid over to the petitioner. Dr. Deane, Q.C., argued that the allowsoce was sufficient to keep the respondent out of the way of temptation, consi dering the style in which she had lived as a wife. In this case, after the separation, the respondent had been alimented at the rate of 900/. a year. Mr. Browning appeared on the same side. Sir J. P. Wilde granted the application, bat directed that the allowance should be 150/. a year, parable "dum mita et sole, viserit"—the damages to be forthwith paid to the peti tioner or hie attorney. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY—Dsc. 20. (Before Mr. Commissioner Holroy&) LI HE J. HARILIS.-FICTITIOUR CAPITAL,LISMEIt CZ OE 11111U80/fMENT. The bankrupt was an envelops manufacturer, of Oat-lane, Wood-street. This was the siting for discharge. Against debts of 15,2001. the meets were teatime , ' at 1,200/. Mr. Lawrence opposed for the assignees. The bankrupt had dealt most extensively in accommodation bills, the amount being upwards of 13,4.100/., of which 4,0001. or 5.0011/. was running at the time of the bankruptcy. The wont feature io the case was that the bankrupt had canoed bays and young men in hie employ to accept billa, sad in other cases bad paid worthless persons 2s. 6d. sub for accepting his bulls. Tickell, a person in his employ, had accepted to the amount of 1,3001. Bills of this charactar had been discounted by the City Bank, the Alb o. Bank, the Imperial Bank, the East of Loudon Bask and others, and the English and Irish. A person named Simmoods, n hawker, had aircepted for him to the smonat et above ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—Leeps, D. 20. (Before Mr. Justice Keatiog.) Manasseh 1iC11,81114, aged 22, warp dealer, was charged with the wilful murder of David Armitage, at Bradford, on the ltrd of o:whet. _ Mr. Blackburn and Mr. Lance Dee prosecuted; the pri soner was defended by Mr. C. F.eter. About 11l o'clock on the night named three men were walking on the high road near Bradford, and overtook the prisoner, who was in company with a youug woman. A dispute arose as to whether the prisoner should pass on the wall side, and he used some foul laoguage to them. They squeezed peat, and having gone a little further met the de ceased. They informed him of what had passed, and when be came up to Hanson he said, "What art thou going to do F' upon which the prisoner used some coarse expression, and stabbed Armitage at the back of the head, producing a wound five inches long, and which west through the scalp and partially broke the skull. There was some discrepancy in the witnesses, the three who first met the prisoner assert ing that Armitage neither used bad langu.ige to nor struck any blow at the prisoner, whilst Sarah Dobson, the priso ner's companion, positively stated that the deceased brat applied a :oars° epithet to the prisoner, and then caused him to stagger from the force of the glow he struck him. Upon the evidence of this woman the learned counsel for the defence relied to induce the jury to find the prisoner guilty of manslaughter and not of murder. The jury found the prisoner Guilty of manslaughter, sad his lordship sentenoed him to six years' penal servitude. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (Before the Assistant-Judge.) Richord Get, 21, porter, ►od Druid , Staltran. 23, porter, were indicted for stealing a watch sod :halo, the property of Samuel Brown, from his person. . . Mr. Lady proseCuted; Mr:Beeley appeared for Gee, and Mr. Metcalfe for Sullivan. It appeared from the evidence that on the night of Sa turday, the 10th December, at about twelve o'clock, the pros. ceder was in Cow Cross-street, Clerkenwell, standing at • fried fish shop having some fish, and while there be saw loth the prisoners. lie then went away towards White Horse.alley, where be lived ' • but *coo afterwards he heard that • row was going on at the top of I:enj..thin•street, and he went out to see what was going on. As he wan on the way the prisoner Gee pushed between him nod another men and asked him what was the matter, and be told him that he did not know, as he had just come out. At this time he sa-v the prisoner Sullivan following close behind. While he was looting down Benjamin-street he heart a crack at his watch chain, and immediately afterwards he found that his watch and chain were gone. He turned round and saw Gee stooping down and making his way through the crowd, and while he was doing so he saw • portion of the guard chain in his hand. The prosecutor tried to seize him, but be could not do so io consequenoe of the pressure of the crowd and be got away, and be saw no more of the prisoners until be found them in custody at Bagnigge wells station. The case was further strengthened by the evidence of • Mrs. Galatea, who lived near the prose cutor, and she said that she saw the two prisoners follow ing the prosecutor down the court oo the night in question, sail the little daughter, whom she bad sent to the beer shop, heard one of the prisoners say as the prosecutor was passing, " What a nice chain be has got '." From informa tion which was given, Taylor, police-constable 210 G, went on the following Tuesday morning, at an early hour, to Fleur-de-Lis-court, and there found Gee in bed. He told him that be was charged with stealing • watch from a man in Cow Crow-street on the Saturday night, and he said he did see the prosecutor there, but he did not steal his watch. Havitg taken him into custody he then went to Pater 's-lane, where be found Sullivan in bed. He was told that he wanted him for being concerned with Gee to stealing • watch, and Sullivan immediately asked " if Gee had been nailed." The policeman said be had been, and was then on his way to the station•house. He was then taken into custody. Mr. Begley and Mr. Metcalfe having addressed the jury on behalf of their respective clients, A witness was called who gave Gee a good character, having known him for thirteso years. Thomas Jones, a police-constable, was called by Mr. Daly, who said be considered Gee to be • person of had character, as he had seen him out at all hours of the night in company with thieves, and be had never seen him at work. Mr. Bosley protented against this subsidiary issue being raised to prejudice the case against the prisoner at the bar, and censured the attempt on the part of the polio* to hunt down a poor man merely because he was poor. . . Mr. lisly was about to reply, but Mr. 'Metcalfe obje:ted, u be bad no right to do so. . . . Mr. Daly said, rather than raise any question, he would waive the few observations he intended to make. The Assistant-Judge summed up the evidence, sod, in re ply to an observation of Mr. Bailey, said it was no part of the jurisprudence of this country to hunt down a poor man because he was poor, wh►tever might be the practice in other countries. The jury found both the prisoners Guilty. The Autstant•Judge sentenced them to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for eighteen mouths. THE POLICE COURTS. 3IARYLEBONE J,rma SltpAr noon, aged:ll, residing at 61, Elgin-crescent, Notting-bill, and described as a lieutenant (in which service did not transpire), was charged with being drank, dieer orderly, and assaulting police-constable Ward. 1461), in the execution of his duty. Ward deposed that at an early hour that morning be wan on duty in the Edgware-road, when he beard loud shouting and hallooieg ; such, for instance. as " Fire girls ; too, sod can't they strike straight ! fine girls'" He went to where the noise proceeded from, and saw the prisooer, who was very drunk. He was bleeding from the nose. Witness re. quested hire to go home quietly when he said he would order him to find two young ladies be had been with, and who had struck him. There were no females present, and he was asked to go quietly away. Primmer would not do this, but insisted upon being directed to the police station. This was done, and the officer showed him the way, and then left him. Wittman bad but gone a few paces and was trying the doors and shutters when the prisoner again came up, and insisted that the two girls whom he had been struck by should be found. He said they were upon his beat, and he was bound to lied them. Another attempt was made by the officer to get lain, to go home, and the result was only to cause the prisoner to turn upon him, seize him by the collar, strike him a blow in the face with his fist, and then take his hat off. He was then locked up. Mr. Yardley asked prisoner what he had to my in answer to the charge. Prisoner, in a drawling, incoherent tone, widths fact was be went to Tureham's Music-hall the previous evening, where he saw two young ladies. After the concert they left and went into a pie shop elccos by, where, after having regaled themselves, on,- of the ladies struck him a blow on the nose, which caused it to bleed. After doing this they both ran off. He called the constable to find them, as it was upon has beat.. Mr:Yardley—What have you to say to the assault '! If you ■re uow in your right senses, you will atone for what you hare douse. _ Prisoner—l oats only my I owe the policeman no spite. Mr. Yardley—That is a very negative sort of feeling, to talk about spite this morning. I asked you if you bad any explanation to give about assaulting the constable. Prisoner—l took his hat because I thought he knew the girAk Mr. 1 ardley—l most say I hope you are not a lieutenant, sod, what is more, that you do not bear a commission in her Majesty's service, for you are no credit to either service. I hoe you 40a., or, in default of payment, to be imprisoned and kept to bard labour for 1 t days. Later in Use day the due was paid.
