nits ROAD MURDIJL ?ROME, IPUDAT IMMO. A toacting of the Trowbridge magistrates, to which the public were admitted, wee held this day, at the pan.e.eourt, Trowbridge, for the Fairless at inviting the eir,uni.tances connected with the mysterious stained pro.ent which has lately attracted so much attention in canoe:ion with this shot-Meg CAMS W. Stanoomb, was chairman, and there were also present Sir John Awdry, H. G. Ludlow, Eau. and Rev. 8.. Crowley. Witueues having been ordered out of mart, The Chairman said the magistrates wished to make some ingotr:.• relative to the stained garment which had bees fount.. The tirA they had beard relative to it. diaconry wee the aietement made at Road by Police-constable Utah, which they had seen in the papers. They had found sines that Dr. Stapleton bad seen one nightdress, but not thecae alluded to by Polior-coustable Urch and Sergeant Watts. lie therefore, with Mr. Clark, had gone to Fromm and seen Sergeant Watts, and got certain evidence which he had taken down in writing. He had then been to Mr. Parson., at Deckuigton, bat be knew nothing of the matter. He bad then bean to Road-kill-how and seen the cook, whose prment it was said to be. She said she knew nothing whatever of the matter. The garment was not hen. He had wen in the kitchen there what had been called the boiler bole, but it was not a botler-hole at all, but a hot dresser. He hail than confined with his brother magis trates, and had a private meeting ; after which he had seen the co.]: again and had a conference with the magistrates. He took thin opportunity of informing the public that a. yet the character of Elizabeth Gough had hem untainted. Sergeant Watts was then c alled, and deposed to finding the dal, in question in the "boiler-hole." His evidence was to the same effect es that which haa before been given on the subject. 111 Superintendent Foley was then called. He said—The Let witness showed me a chemise on the 30th, the latter part of the day. I did not keep it • aissie? th i think I said to the others, "Do pot that thing away ; Ton all see what it lc" A little while after I gave it to Dalt. more. The policemen wanted me to let them put it back into the boiler-hole at once. I can't say whether say medical man saw it or not, or whether I saw it spin on the Monday. If Dr. Stapleton saw it it most hare been on the Saturday. I showed Dr. Stapleton a nightgown in a alit On the Monday. lam sorry I did not keep the shift end miaow It to you, gentlemen. The one I saw co the Saturday was a chemise, and why I did not want it shown was simply al amount of similarity. I should have been sehamed skew it to you. I 11•11 mare that that dress had nothing to de with the murder._ The Chairman—l have known you, Mr. Foley, for thirty yearn You held the caps d parish °mutable before the emote police was fumed Ise maay yews, and then pea were unanimously fipples! tie sepeisteedent. I would say here the puMs de net kayo yes, but we do, and have perfect couhdeuee ia yea. Our faith is se firm in yea as ever it wee. We behove yea have shown your Gaud lad sad astuteness in act waking this matter publk. Mr. Stapletou, sups, we tin alined. He said—l was sown a farmed bay* dein ell blood upon it, whoa at Bead•kal bore. but I 'ow agoemoat as tbros wont* as essioes. I was amseilled shwa lb. Ada apoo it.

The clerk than reed Sargeant Watts 'evidence to Mr. Sta pleton, who said the ormset showed to him had stales only am be lank of it Mr. Foley, in answer to Mr. fitasesomb, said be had not seen any paper with the shift. P. C. Dahmer. said he saw Sergeant Watta take out the chemise wrapped in brown paper. He described the shift in similar terms to Sergeant Watts ; he had it in hi. pease , Dow from Saturday till Monday. He put it in the box of the an. He bed on the Monday shown it to his wife ; they had looked for some initials but found cone. He took ft back to Road, sad Naked Mr. Foley to danw it to Dr. Stapleton. He (innets) showed it to Dr. Stapleton in Mr. Foley's presenes ; it was in brow'. paper. He put it back ia the not again, and afterwards he asked lb. Paley what be should do with it, and be told his to put it back where it was found, and he did so when the cook was oat of the bitches. After *me unimportant details, wit:tees mid, an the Moir day before the inquiet Mr. Stapleton saw a night dress Iselooging to Mee Constants Kent. This made two dressers Mr. rupleton saw on the same day, one before and the other after the inquest. Mr. Stapleton, recalled, said be saw a diem on the Satur day, and just as he wee I.avag Road, while his horse was bow put to, he gays orden to have the shift kept in safe moody. Never saw this shift but once afterwards, sad that was on Monday at tea o'clock. Would swear to this. Police-constable their, Semerestabire policeman, corrobo rated serpent Watta, se also did Mr. Pricker of Mood, and police.coastable Heritage. Mrs. Enthrones, wife of P. C. Dslimore, said she saw • /arrant on the Monday after the murder. ffhe was satisfied it eras not a lady's garment. Kirslake, cook at Seed-leill House, said she lit the scullery treat usual on the sae lag of the murder, sad the fire was then let out. Sholtiew it was not hers, and she did not put it there. She saw nethieg in the boiler-hole, and the ire was lighted there every Mr. Step:etas (recalled) said he wee peanut at the post mortem examination. He saw red marks of suffocation about the body, mad did not believe the child died from suf focation. It was hi. Ann belief that the child died instantly from having its throat cut. He was at the post-mortem sun :nation, and when they retuned to Mr. Kent, both Mr. ramose and himself madded with Mr. Bent on the fact that the child died instantly, and with little suffering. He was therefore •sag mice surmised at the conclusion which Mr. Parsons afterwards came to, that the child did from suffocation or soros pressure, sad was surprieed that Mr. Parsons so soon changed his mind. lie was of opinion that the knife was inserted in the left side of the throat ; that the child rose its right hand, and that accounted for the cut on its band. Sarah Cos, the housemaid, denied all knowledge of UN prmest in queetion. Mrs. Holley, the washerwoman, was called. and in reply to Kr. Stanconda, stated that aloe bad never seen the bmst haul before. She Ski not wash it. She did not think Is was a poor person's flannel at all. Mr. Lodi°w mid they had now ao other witnesses to px min-. They were agreed in this, that it wrong, or rather culpalde, in Mr. Foley sot to he brought the fact of the toth.ng of this shift before the. ; but an not doing so he only oi.ed his own judgment Wird of consulting them. 1)017:LE COLLISION ON TNt NOJITH-EISTENN AAILWAY. The collision on the North-Eastern Railway at Orof'. near Darlington, on Thursday night (as briefly stated re ow evening unpressum yesterday) appears to have bees • fearful affair. As well as our correapoodeot could le*e, there was a merchandise train shunting at Croft station, which is situated in • deep cutting al..uc Case miles *oath cf Darlington. A hick-up goods train from York ran into it with t4111716C force, and al m ost simultaceousl} a 1311111011,11- &NI traiatravelling south from Darlington came up,and before a stoppage could he effected it dashed into the two con tending train.. The tight was dark and foggy, and it ap pears that the sigLal light was nut. The cause of its being eat t. involved in mystery, but each was the fact, notwith. deeding which the driver of the pick-up train kept up his epees!. and suildeoly turning a sharp mime perceived the light. attached to the last waggon of the shunting train. but too !ate to pull up. The wreck was fearful. The cutting was literally choked up. Login**, ssodcrs, and waggons were either wedged together or anisshed to pieces, and goods of all kinds were scattered in confusion across the retire line. On* engine was embedded wheeldeep in the eart and above it and around were piled some twenty or tenuous and horse-boxes. In one bone-Lox, we tinders there were three henna and a groo:n. How they eleetru,tiosi is mire:titans. The groom is said to have found himself lying Kathleen on the battery. The hones lay adder the debris for some time. It was fully expected they were killed, but they 'attained little injury. How the suirineenes swooped cannot be divined, so com plete was the wreck, sad so tearful the shock of the cab mon. One of them was found lying ea the topp of the engine•boiler. The damage must he coslwaMa. The wp.mail, due at Darlington a little after eight o'clock, did mot get away until the morning, and then only by returning to Diulingion, and proceedieg by the Stockton and Dar lin‘ton line to Preston junetkm, and so towards Northal hetet]. Some scores of workmen were engaged the whole al the night clearing the line, and it was not until six &flock yesterday morning that tuna was effected. It was only bs the pesseagers traosferring themselves from one to the other that they were enabled to proceed on th- ir jour. ay. Some were detained the half of the night. Tee acct. dent is generally believed to have been causal by the most culpabk negligence.

I told her she could ask say one if she liked to come with her. She said she could bring her little sister, but she knew no other ladies. I said she could bring some more if she liked. I hired the omnibus. When Miss Kemp got into the omnibus there was one =sin= and my brother inside. The other undergraduates wire to go In cabs. There is not the slightest foundation for saying that I ordered breakfast at Mulford, or that these =n were to stay all night. We were to be home by 12, according to the college regulation.

Mr. W0°112.40'4 the senior proctor, was with me. We met the omnibus within • few minutes of the time expected. Mr. Woollaston asked if there were any gentle men of the univerady there, and the elder Mr. Graham came out. I asked if than was any other mem ber of the university there, and then the younger Mr. Graham came out. The only other male in the omnibus was a musician, who ie well known as " White-headed Bob." (ainghter.) The young women who were in the omnibus I did not see sufficiently to form en opinion as to what thus of life they were in. I had termed an opinion upon other grounds.

He understood that a tall and supper were to take place on Monday, the 30th, the party coons the al 12 young girls and 12 of the university men. He added that they were going to Bbelfonl, and that M iss Leap wham addrer be gave, bad got up the party ; that Miss of Poet-office.terraos, was to be one of the party, and that ]Bus Kemp was to take her young miner. The writer con eluded by expressing his trust that the witness would use his authority as proctor to put a stop to the affair, and the To throalsire to the document was, " Inhabitant of the wn." . _ _ Orees-exaeaieed—l was defendant in a similar action to this which vas tried before my lord.

I believe she had bens there. Our books do not contain her name. (The book was celled for, but not produced.) The Vice-Chancellor was told in the name of all pro-proctors that none of Un knew any of the women. Retwamined—i know that one of these girl, has since gone into the refer for unfortunate women. The Rev. T. H. Woollaston, the senior proctor, confirmed the evidence of the two last witnesses, and said that he had the same enspicions as Hr. Sore. The Hon. and Rev. Latimer Neville, the Vice-Chan. oellor—lt is my duty to hear any charges brought under the statutee of the university. On my going to the spin. aingloyas on the thy in question Mr. Woollseton told me of th e letter, and that they had in consequence proceeded to the spot indicated and stopped au omnThus. The state. meat made by the proctors as to what they said to me is entetantielly =rect. I told the plaintiff that she was charged with getting up the party, end inducing other girls to na, and especially her young sister, which I considered • very heartless proceeding. She did not deny this, bet said that Mr. Graham had asked her. She did not in say way offer to give references to &wider. I was quite satisfied that immorality was intended. I asked her what she had to my, and then said that I must mark mT sense of her con duct by sentencing her to fourteen days' imprisonment. In I doing this I acted according to the best of my conscience and ability. I signed • commitment, which I have been advised is informal, and I have since signed another. This was on the let or 2nd November. I was advised that under a charter of Edward I. I was authorised to release the plain tiff before the fourteen days expired. Orees-angsained—bly view is not that I may commit to prison foellay time I like. Without considerable advice, &add not imprison for more than • month, and I he aotknow that I should do that. I did make out the warrant al commit ment. The plaintiff did not hear the proctors make as charge against her, but she heard what I said to her. She wee not eenfrated with her accusers. I had not seen say articles la the iferning Post or any other mewspapa about this affair before I discharged the plaintiff. y motive for the discharge was that Dr. Pollee, the Neater of Comm, said be tan employed her mother, and 'believed her to be rw Mr:l did not take down the evidence in writing, but the sentence in • book. (This book was called for, bat not produced.) The warrant I signed was • • printed farm, bat her name was put in It. I believe this had been dons before I got to the spinning -house. (Laughter.) I cannot speak positively that the warrant for the plaintiff's commitment was made out before I beard her case. I cannot say whether I put her name in the warrant myself. The printed form was there when I got there ; but I cannot say whether or not her mune was then in it. I have not got the warrant. I can not remember when I last raw it. I can't say in whom thedwriting the plaintiff's name was in the warrant. I don't it thew These duty Lit is to fill up warrants. I have dons myself. Mr. Edwin James said it was admitted that the warrant was in court, sad he asked that his lordship should enforce its production. They had given • subpoena to produce it. The Lord Chief Justice thought that the consideration of this matter had better stand over until to-morrow, when, if he thought that the law was with Mr. James, he wuldmake the order for production. He had, however, known one eon whom the production of • deed was compelled, and the was that the trial was set aside. Sir F.

Sittings at Nisi Prias at Weeladaster.—fliefora the Lord Chief Berm and Oaaa®m Juries.) BYOC/IBILIDGZ V. MAIL—" TM DAILY TILDDILAYIL*— 4L1.11011D L111311._ The declaration in this car stated that the defendant, Joseph Ellis, the printer and publisher of the Doily fele gr newspaper, did falsely and maliciously publish, ht the form el an advertisement, the following words to the injury of the plaintiff :—" Scarlet Rifle Range s.—The gives notice that he is forming the above under distinguished patronage. An eligible opportun ity is thus o ff ered to respectable young men who, from f - lap of disappointment or from necessity, may have left other corps. It is hoped that the sanction of the War °See may be obtained for securing the services of Mr. Boucher, late Lieutonant.Colonel of the First Surrey Rifles. To get a commission make early application to Wil li am Stockbridge, Esq, tailor, Kennington.green, who will adapt the old =Norma at a small aharge." The defendant only pleaded not guilty. Sesjeant Ballantine and Mr. Garth appeared as counsel for the plaintiff ; Mr. Overend and Mr. Lewis re presented the defendant. The Lord Chief Heron in sniffling the evidence said—This is an action in which it is ch by the plaintiff that the defendant published, on the 31st uly,m theeolumns of the Daily Tel newspaper, a libel contained in an advertisement beaded "The Scarlet Rifle Bangen," and it has been opened to you by my brother Ballantine that the *Mad was engaged in what Is called the volunteer move ment. No doubt that this movenseut owes its emcees to the energy, the devotion, and the lap* of the people, sad we carmen allude to it without feeling proud of the sena, and not only proud of it, but happy and ado. HIS I cannot but believe that if there bad never been snob a thing as a volunteer 1110•11131•11 t this matter would probably never have been heard of. It will be, however, for you to say whether the publication of which eomPlant is made amounts to • libel or not, end if you think it is a libel, then it will be for yes to say what sort of compensa tion the plaintiff entitled to er all the circumstances. lam old enough to remember when the law of libel was very different Irvin what it is now, and when that law was very diffeeently administered. W ithin the last twenty pews so sot was introduced in the House a Lords by my Iced Campbell, the present Lord Chancellor, one of the objects of which was to proteM newspapers in which pars peeks were inserted, and which acci den tally crept in with out. although there would be a legal responsiklity, the coaduetors being personally chargeable with an interim to do • wrong. It was by this act open to the defendant to say that he was not aware of the nature, of the P to pay one shilling or twenty shillings, as the ease a Z r it into court, and to plead that the libel was inserted without malice or neglect. In this are the defendant has not guil He has not availed himself of the sad thus th ew in this ease is left very math as it was before the pandas of the act to which I have drawn your attention, and which passed in the year 1842. Yon are left to say whether this is a libel or not. I recollect when er oiaio informations for libel were not unfrequently filed by the Attorney-General That is of rare occurrence now. I re collect when indictments for libel were frequency laid. That is now very rare, and any one who reads the user papers must be quite aware that comments are freely Mae on the conduct of paeans filling public situations, sad that these persons exercise a good deal ot-1 will massy firebear saes, bat of discretion in abstaining from bringing adieux for libel unless some serious injury has been done to their posi tion in society, and baron is thereby done. I do not say that in considering whether this is a libel or not, you will be governed by the question whether an action could be brought. Now, the libel in question appeared in the form of an ad vertisement. Ido not know that there is not something more in it than we have any means of knovrieg. It appear, the corps of volunteers, of which plaintiff is the lieutenant, was to be called the "Scarlet Rifle Rangers," being under the patronage of a most distinguished officer, General Sir John Yorke Scarlett, the son of my predecessor in the office which I have the honour now to fill. The libel complained of proceeds to say " The undersigned hereby gives notice that he is forming the above corps." The word forming, I may remark, appears in large type, possibly with the intention of throwing a doubt on the propriety of a young man in the plaintiffs position making himself so busy as to appear as the creator of a volunteer corps. It then proceeds :—" An eligible 'opportunity is thus afforded to respectable young men who, from feelings of disappointment, or from necessity, may have left other corps," as if this corps was to be a sort of re fuge for the destitute. (Laughter.) Then the advertisement goes on to say, "It is hoped the sanction of the War-office me, be obtained for securing the services of Mr. Bonehier, late Lieutenant-Colonel of the First Surrey Rifles." We have no information who Xr. Bouchier is. A Juror—l think, my Iced, Mr. 'touchier had a differ. ewe with some of the rifle corps, and that may account for ft. The Lord Chief Baron—Neither of the learned counsel for the plaintiff or the defendant gave us any information as to who Mr. Boucbierr is. May I state for your informs. dam brother Ballantine, that he is the chamber clerk to the Lad' Chief Baron. (Laughter.) Mr. Serjeant Ballettine—l did not know that your lord. ship was aware of his military rank. The Lord Chief Baron—Perfectly ; and he was made Bodement-colonel in oonsequence of his having written • most valuable pamphlet on the winnow move ' ment. He is a moot respect bl and respected gent'. nan. Some yea rs s i nce we h ad an idea tional movement, but I really do not trunk that before that there were half-a-dozen blockheads in the world who would not have known that an advertisement signed " William Stockbridge, Esq., tailor, " was a hoar. (Laught er .) Surely, on o would suppose it was not a serious accusation that " William Stockbridge, Esq., tailor, would adapt old uniforms at • small charge." (me criterion of • iihel is whether it is capable of being justified, but as far as I oan tor my ingenuity and my Ille1:12017 I must say I should not, if f wen counsel at the bar, have the lent idea now I could justify a matter of this sort supposing it to be true. Is it a libel to call a man a tailor ! I thiak there would be a vast deal of insolence on the part of • man who would my, " You libelled me because you celled me a tailor." It is no libel to call • man • tailor—to say that he bears his sham in • blie branch of our native in denta7—it would certainly be no libel without an limeade. Fee say own pert I cannot understand how Use plaintiff can mg the whole of the libel is untrue. I believe several parte of It are true. The old idea of • libel was that it was a thing which would hold • man up to ridicule, and which would have a tendency to disturb his feelings ; but a more sensible, • more social view is now taken, and every mere yoke to make a laugh does not oonatitute a libel. Do not, gentlemen, understand me as Lying down any prin ciple for your guidance. Whether this la a libel or not it is your province to decide. It is your province, and it is your right—it is your duty to do so. Although I am entitled to give you my opinion Ido not feel bound to do so. It has been stated that Mr. Fryer on reading this advertisement in the Daily Telegraph was deposed to turn the plaintiff out of his situ ation as cleric. If that be arum I can only say Mr. Fryer is the last attorney whomi should wish toemploy. (Laughter.) But whatever may have been the secret malignity of the person who caused the insertion of tie advertisement, it must have been clear to all who read it that ft was • hoax. The plaintiff through his attorney demanded an apology and an exculpation. That was made the day after the writ was served. It will he for you, gen tlemen, to say, taking all the circumstances into oonaideretion, whether this in • libel or not, and if you think it is • libel, then you will say what damages the plaintiff is entitled to. I will leave the case in your hands with this single remark. The press has of late years gradually become more emancipated from what I may call the fetters of the law ; and if in the beginning of my address I said something about the volunteer movement, I now at its oonclusioo will say that to the press, under • proper administration, that movement owes much ; and although you meat feel that the volunteer movement is entitled to our highest admiration, you must also feel that the liberty of the press has ever been respected in that plea, in which you now sit, and that this country owes more to it than to anything exoept that glorious constitution under which we live. The concluding remarks of the learned judge were re ceived with loud manifeetatious of applause, which were immediately checked. The Pendant jury immediately returned a verdict for the de- COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. Nov. 30. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) ooearowor AND CONZOWAY V. GUTBVL The testator was the son of • corn-meter, named Guthrie. He wan one of a family of eleven children, but only he sad his sister Sophia had survived ; and they were afflicted by • very peculiar form of paralysis which ultimately led to their death. Two others of the family were also attacked in a similar manner ; and it may be remarked that Mr. and Mrs. Guthrie were stated to have been cousins. After Mr. Guthrie 's death in 1855, the testator and his sister Sophia lived for about nine months with the defendant, their uncle ; bat it was alleged that they were harshly treated by them, and that in consequence they had themselves removed to the plaintiffs', who were also relatives. In their favour they executed a deed conveying to them the whole of the property ; and they also made their wills in order to provide against the event of their death before the necessary deeds could be prepared. Sophia died in January, 1858, and Joseph becoming wan step, were taken to have him adjudged • lunatic. Ilre.Moneoway was appointed the committee of his person, but the deed having been directed by the Lords Justices to be enrolled, the present snit had become n to enable the plaintiffs to regain posseuion of it. e property in dispate consisted of a few houses and building shares. The jury returned a verdict for the defendant, upon the Isar of incapacity. INSOLVENT DEBTORS COURT.—Nov. 30. (Before Hr. Ootoroistioner Nichols.) IN Pi COUEWL DIEO77.—LAO Di COLOONZ. This ease, which was before reported, was now caseload. Mr. Sargood opposed foes Mr. Recitiort, • chemist, the detaining creditor ; and Mr. Denney supported. Tee complaint was one of fraud. suppo rted. insolvent intro ducal himself to Mr. Rochfort es of the house of Job= Maria Farina, of Gegender dem Juliebs Flats, Cologne, manufacturers of am de Vas, sad su=him with the perfume in bottles description and trade arks, banwswedffi of Mr. Rochfort, and had adrift of wine pad oils to male the eau de Cologne in this easolry, he said he could do much cheaper. The illllohllll6 aedidus 'up wards of 501., and had given him two asseplences ; he be lieved his name was " Farina." The real maker applied to the Court of Chsnoery, and Mr. Rothfort was restaslood, and finding who the insolvent way had assisted I Farina to expose the insolvent. The copy of the bill= Chancery was pat in evidence, sod it appeared that Messrs. Valiance and Valiance had proceeded in Chancery against persona who had pirated these trade marks, and, hie the ' insolvent, had copied their labels. Mr. Commissioner Nichols, in giving judgment, expressed hie belief that there was a debt due to Mr. Rochfort, and declared that he could not believe the insolvent's statement. As to the oomplaint of fraud, he did not consider it was made out. It was probable that the insolvent introduced himself as "Farina," and that he afterwards obtained sprite of wine and essential oils to make the eau de Cologne. That seemed to be an irregular pro ceeding on the part of Mr. Rochfort, who stated that be expected he was dealing with the well-known maker at Cologne. His own opinion was, that the insolvent had no right to make and sell eau de Cologne, pirating as he bad dose the labels of the real maker of eau de Cologne ; and that point had been established in Chancery. But what he had now to consider was, with respect to the debt due to Mr. Roehfort, not what complaint Messrs. Farina had ; and as he could not arrive at the conclusion that it was fraudu lently contracted, the insolvent would be discharged. He was accordingly discharged. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before the Recorder.)

The prisoner, when he wait called upon, assured the court that, although undoubtedly he had upset the proceeds of the theque, he had no intention to defraud the puescutor. The Recorder said it was idle for him to my that he had no intention to defraud when it was proved that he made two of the whole amount of the cheque to pay his own debts, and the prosecutor had to pay the money a wooed time. The jury had, however, recommended him to mercy on amount of the nature of the transactions that had taken place between him and the prosecutor ; and, ea he had al ready been three months in custody, be should only sen tence him to be further imprisoned for a pet Lod of six month,. NEW COIIRT. (Before the Common Berjeant.) Henry Dori, 43, smith. was indicted for a burglary in the dwelling-housed William Smith.

The prilguer and some other men were men by the police upon the morning of the burglary near the prosecutor's carrying some articles of clothing. The prisoner only was taken, and upon him was some of the prosecutor's property. The j ury convicted him, and he was sentenced to six mouths' imprisonment. THIRD 00IIRT. Late in the day on Thursday in this court, before Mr. Commissioner Kerr, Maurice Bernard, 30, clerk, was in dicted for stealing a quantity of buckler, two skins of lea ther, and other articles, the property of John Eldred, his roaster, and Janes dfullay,Z, saddler, was indicted for receiving the same knowing it to be stolen. Bernard . pleaded guilty. The prisoner's master is a wholesale saddler and dealer in meddlers' materials, in Fore-street, in the City. The prisoner Bernard was his clerk, and some suspi aon being entertained that the prisoners were sys tematically robbing the prosecutor, a watch was set upon their movements, when it was found that when Mu lls Gaunt° the prosecutor's shop to make a purchase, be was usually served by the prisoner, and that he always kayo him goods nearly double in point of quantity to what lie lead paid for. On the 2nd of November the prisoner Mullay drove up to the prosecutor's. and made some purchasea, and in the manner described, with the connivance of the pri sons. Bernard, took the property in question. Thu cart was followed to Z, Church-street, Blackfriars-road, where Mulkey lived, and there a quantity of property belonging to the prosecutor wu found. The jury found Muller Guilty, and The court ordered both prisoners to be imprisoned and kept to hard Libour for twelve months. rhis case ended the business.

The letter gave the address of the plaintiff, but I made no inqui ries there. The confectioner mid the supper had been ordered, and Mr. Graham would fetch it. This was in answer to my question whether he had a rapper ordered for the country. I did not know any one of the females in the omnibus until we got to the spinning -house. We at once gave directions to drive them to the spinning -house. We had two or three of our men with as. There were some police men also close by. Mr. Woollaston bad applied for them. None of our men pointed out any one of the girls as hod characters. When we got to the spinning-house, I Aid not know any of the women. None of our men at The spin ning -house said any of the women were bad characters. M. Woullaaton did not say be knew any of them. The Vice.

The whole transaction before the Vice-Chancellor mewed, I should think, from three to four minutes. Tbe Viee-Chuicallor mid she ass charged with getti% . sp a party to go to Illielford. I will undertake to say she did say the could refer to persona for whom she bad worked. The senior proctor had communicated with the Vice-Chancellor before we arrested the plaintiff. I said I had received the letter, and found several points in it were coafirmed. The Viee-Chenosilor asked ns if we knew the women, or any of them, and we said, "No." I have not employed any person to make inquiries as to the plaintiff's diameter, nor do I know that any inquiries have been made.

COTTON.—Lrrsairoor., Nov. 30.—The leading feature of the market during the week has been a good trade de mand for all the useful qualities of American, with the turn in favour of the seller • • moderate business has been done in Brasil, at former rat es, whilst Egyptian has been in pretty good request, at full prices. For Surat the general demand has been limited, but quotations remain as before. Speculators have taken 7,740 American and 99U Surat ; and there are reported for export, 2,070 American, 110 Fgyptian ' and 2,150 Surat. The market this morning opens with a steady demand, at full prices ; probable sales about 10,000 bales, including 1,500 on speculation and for export. COTTON GOODo.—ldiorcnnerre, Nov. 30.—The step taken by the Bank of England yesterday in reducing di.- counts one per cent. has had the effect of causing a rather more cheerful feeling in this market, and business is rather more active, though by no means animated. The mediu m and heavier makes of T cloths have been in fair request, but light makes are not in much demand. Long cloths and heavy domestics are rather easier to buy. For 36. inch shirtings prices are steady, and 40-inch China makes are rather dearer, in consequence of the demand reported on Tuesday. There is rather more business in yarns, inclu ding les to 3Cfs water in the bundle for China, and the medium counts of warps and cops for the home trade, and prices are id. to 4d. dearer than last week. CORN.—Csassvonn, Nov. 30.—The weather is as bad as can be for corn of all descriptions, and condition being it bad for wheat, few sales could be effected even at la. to 24. decline; best dry samples were sold at about late rates. Barley:—The supply was good ; best descriptions could not be bought cheaper, such making 435. to 47a. ; secondary, 365. to 40s. Beans so damp that they are quite unsaleable, without being kiln dried. trscour, Nov. 30.—Oar market has not been quite so liberally supplied with wheat to-day, still the trade has been extremely depressed, and with the exception of the very finest qualities, prices have given way Iv to 2a. per. qr.

Compared with Fri day last Indian corn has declined nearly le. per quarter, and still meets only a slow sale. Beans, peas, and barley have each also given way L. per quarter on the week. A. thick gloom has overshadowed the town the whole day, and this perhaps has added to the general dulness. WAIMPIELD, Nov. 30.—The supplies of grain were good, and for old and the best new wheat. last week's prices were nearly supported, but there was not much business. Most of the new English wheat offering is inferior and in bed condition, and sells with difficulty, at very low prices. Barley very dull, and Is. cheaper. In beans, oats, and shelling, not much business, but without change in prices. Averages for the week ending Nov. 26 : Wheat, 11,74 qrs., at 57a ; barley, 889 qrs., at 41s. bd. ; oats, 136 qrs., at 28a. ; beans, 74 qrs., at 49.. 0 d. ; peas, 37 qrs., at 4.9.. led. - - UXBRIDOIL, Nov. 29.—The corn trade is very dull to. day, the weather being very damp, and more samples offering than any week lance harvest, make sales difficult at much lower rates.
