r r Ni THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 5, 1865. LAW INTELLIGENCE. EQUITY COURTS.—Du:. 4. (Before Vice-Chancellor Stuart) 1 BARNICIT V. LIOCHABB.—PHARAOH'S szanarrs. This was a motion for an injunction to restrain the de fondant from eellisg in boxes bearing the plaintiffs' labels any serpent', or other similar enjoin', which bad not been manufactured or sold by the plaintiffs. The plaintiffs, in their bill, stated that they were the inventon of the new firework called " Pharaoh's Serpents," for which they had obtained a patent in France, and protection in this country. The article in question was in shape a small cone, covered with tin foil. The plaintiffs' boxes hoes the following label :—"Serpents de Pharaoh. Evoqnis. Per Bartlett. Btf. &G. D.O. Pour la France et r &maga% Paris. * Then followed the iostructioos for producing the serpent. The label was surrounded with a wreath of serpents, and bore at the bottom the name of the minters :—" Imp. S. Robinson et A. liounceetais, Perla." The bill then stated that the plaintiffs ori the 7th of November Brat discovered that the defendant had sold articles similar to those of the plaintiffs, in boxes of theirs, which boxes the defendant had bought ; and that those articles so sold by the defend ant in the boxes of the plaintiffs were not the articles of the plaintiffs, or manufactured by them ; that each conduct was injurious to the plaintiff., and an invasion of their rights under their patent. Mr. Malin., Q C., and Mr. Owen appeared for the pleintiffs. Mr. W. H. Morris appeared for the defendant, and argued that he wss in the habit of selling articles similar to those of the plaintiffs, sod that hiscustom when imbed sold them to pot them, at the purchmen' request end to accommo date them, is the boxes which had the plaintiffs label,. He bad also sold some of the p l a i n tiffs ' serpents. which he had placed in the boxes with his own, but that he never intended to injure the plaintiffs or deceive the public. The Vino-Chancellor granted the injunction moved for, but without costs, as the defendant lad ceased to sell any of the articles complained of when be d h ad notice of that application. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.—Dsc. 4. Sittings at Nisi Priui is Midelleseu.—{Edur• L,rd Chief Justice Erle end a Special Jury.) V. DOWNIS. This was an action to mover damages for vary serious personal injuries. Mr. Serpent Bellantine and Mr. Raymond aorunrod for the plaintiff ; sod Mr. Huddleston, Q.C., and Mr. Criffits for the defendant. The plaintiff was a journeyman gasfitter, and 00 the 28th of June, 1864, he went to the defendant's supr refinery is Goodman's fields to do some work. Whilst going along one of the floors be mimed his plyers, and went back a few steps to get them. In the course of returning to join the party to which he wee attached he fell down • hole in the floor which was used for the purpose lifting sugar from floor to Boor. The distance the plaintiff fell was 29feet,and ' I Mr. Adams ' the senior surgeon at the London Hospital, stated in the witness-box that the plaintiff's spine was frac. tared by the fall, and there were all the symptoms of Injury to the spinal marrow. He remained paralysed down to the present time, and in all human probability he would sever recover the use of his legs. The plaintiff, in order to give his evidence, had to be carried into court in a chair. The grounds upon which the defendant was sought to be made liable was that the place was insufficiently lighted, there being only two jets of gas upon that Boor ; and that the hole was not properly fenced. Mr. Haddleston submitted upon the authority of the case of " Wilkinson v. Fenn. Hu, and Co., " that there was no duty cut upon the defeadaut to fence and light this hole, which was used for the purpose of his business. The Lord Chief Justice slid he would reserve the point for the full court. Evidence was then given for the defendant, that before the plaintiff went upon the premises be was cautioned by Mr. MllaraVOS, under whose control he acted, that sugar houses were peculiar places, that they did not allow candles or Inciters there. and. therefore, that they must keep their eyes open. Mr. Hargraves added, that they would have • man with % lamp with him, that he should ' follow that man, and that the plaintiff must keep close to them. It was further dated that the place was in fact suf• ficiently lighted,that there were five gas lights,aod that the hole could be seen by anybody who exercised reasonable care. It was also closed in on two sides. • The jury, after considering the matter for half an hour, ! found a verdict for the plaintiff--damages 4001. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.—Drs. 4. Sittings at Nisi Prius.—(Before Mr. Biros Bramwell and • Oommon Jury.) SECOND COURT. TOM r. ROBINSON.—BIIRAciI or P6OIIIBE or ILLIIRIAGT. This was an action for breach of promise of marriage. The case was undefended. Mr. 8011, who appeared for the plaintiff, said his client, Susan Yenta, was • widow, 35 years of age, and the de (midget, Themes Robinson. was • muter bootmaker, who had carried on business for 15 or 16 years is Birmingham. The defendant, after they bad been acquainted some tune, promised to marry the plaintiff, but in duiog so asked her to wait for what be called • "dead year." The marriage was consequent) y postponed ; but unfortunately the de fendant prevailed upon the plaintiff to allow hint in the meantime to act as her husband, and in August last she gave birth to twins. Although he made repeated promises to marr the plaintiff, shortly before her confinement he set her at defiance, and married another women. The learned counsel said it was for the injury to her character asd repo- Wit)°, sustained under these circumstances, that she brought this action, but he did not ask for any large amount of damages. Charles Ilerriman—l am the plaintiff's father, and she lived with me in Birmingham. During 1864 the defendant mine frequently to my house, to court my daughter. I have frequently seen them walk out arm in aim together. As • respectable tradesman be courted my daughter. The defendant is a lady and gentleman's boottuaker, and keeps a shop, and is thirty five or thirty-six years of age. My daughter's husband was killed in the lodise mutiny, and she has been a widow ever since. She had three children by him. In August, 1864, she gave notice that I must provide for another housekeeper, because she was going to be married. I then went to the defendant, and asked him what his intentions were towards my daughter. He replied, "To make her my wife, as I promised at tint." I said, "When will you, Thomas?" and be said, " On Christmas Day." In Novem ber I saw him again, and said, "If you fulfil your pro mise, you will find • prudent, honest, upright, md in dustrious woman for a wife." I also said I would do my utmost to make them comfortable. Mr. Cheshire—l am Mrs. Yenu's first husband's brother. In May last I left my situation, and went to live a abort time with her. In company with her I called upon the defendant. and asked him when he was going to be mar ried to Susan; and he said, " Before lone' I mentioned that she was in the family-way ; that it would be a great disgrace to her, and that be ought to marry her. He re peated that he would marry her. iHe did not deny that he was the father of the two children. Afterwards be married • nurse,of the Birmingham hospital. It was because I heard he was courting the nurse that I west to him. He said, " I don't want her at the hospital, and I'll fulfil my promise." My sisterdn-law was afterwards confined with twins, but they died shortly after birth. Mr. Baron Bramwell—What did your sieterdodaw say to the defendant ? Witness—Sbe spoke about her confinement, and said she hoped he would be honourable to her. Mr. Baron Bramwell—What did he say Witness—He said, "I will, Susan, if you will wait." She burst into tears, and then I left, Before doing so I said—" I'll see Mr. Robinson soo ther da y ." Mr. Baron Bramwell—Was that all he said !—Yes ; he said be would behave honourably, and make it all right. Mr. Holl—Tbat, my lord, is the plaintiff's ease. Mr. Baron Ilramwell—lt is certainly • rather meagre case. There are so letters, and the last witness does not appear to have seen the defendant until after the mischief had been sustained ; still the promise is sworn to by the father, and I don't see any reason to disbelieve him. One cannot help thinking it would he very undesirable if be assumed a promise was made because the woman had got with goodise there would be taken away that security for conduct which happily now exists ; but although the last withers does not speak to any promise before that event, the father does, and coupling the statements of both, there is a confirmation of the alleged promise. It you (the jury) are satisfied that • promise was made, then comes the question of damages, and that is entirely for you. You have no account of the means of the defendant except that he keeps • shop, which is sometimes a very good thing and sometimes not. There also does not appear to have been that intimacy between the two families that use commonly sees in them actions. This use is certainly left as bare as it can well be. The Foreman of the Jury—We should like to see the plaintiff herself. Mr. Baron Bramwell—That the law does not allow. In these matters the law prohibits the plaintiff and the defen dant from being called, and &wording to the opinion of the legislators it does so wisely, twelve last missies of parlia ment a bill was introduced into the House of Commons for the purpose of altering the law in that respect, and the house refused to read it a second time. You must, there fore, get on as well as yon can without bearing the plaia tiff. I cannot help thinking that these are actions which ought not to be encouraged. If people change their minds it is better that they should do se before marriage than when it is too late. I Lave only to repeat, however, that the matter mats entirely with you. she N was beo doubt the plaintiff the is not so marriageable a person as fore, and if defendant had marri ed her, she would have become abetter women, because her diagram would have bun • little got ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD CIRCIIIT.—OxFuItD, DE c. 4. Mr. Jostles Keatbag tack hie seat in the Crown Court at 11 o'clock. Six prisoners charged with rick-burning pleaded guilty, and were severally sentenced to Sys years' penal servitude. DARING BI3IIOLART.

The primmer pleaded sot guilty, and was undefended ; Yr. Grippe appeared for the prceseutioe.

Henry Rodman, 2 0 , labourer, who wee convicted at the summer swims held in August Lot, but whose motes°, bad been respited until certain questions of law had been decided, was now brought up for judgmeot. The offence of which the prisoner bad been found guilty was threatening one Robert Leroombe to accuse him of an abominable offence with • view to extort money. His lordship, is palling sentence, said the prisoner had been found guilty by a jury of his countrymen of the hateful offence of attempting to extort money from a bey's father ander a threat that be woad charge the boy with an abominable mime, and be bad gone so far as makieg the charge against the boy, which might have cost him his liberty for a long period. The boy was brought before the =Oatcake, but they detected bis (the prisoner's) falsehood, discharged him. and sent him (Radmen) for trill. The learned judge mid he had, on more than one occosion, sentenced perilous con victed of • similar offence to penal servitude for life ; sod the only moon the court abstained from doiag so then wee that the matter was found out so speedily, end the boy's character wee so entirely cleared, and it was hardly name rosy for his protection to par so severe a sentence even on so bed a man as he was. The acetones of the court was that be he kept in penal servitude or the period of ten yew. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE• ()INNER TO MIL HUGHES, M.P. T AT T ERSALUS. —Mos DAY. It is oily very recently that a " wiestirte devoted ez- cluively to steeplechasing (sore es Oteyero has been pro ductive of heavy speculatioe, and, as • esesesary cum queues, an equally important settling. Mr. J. F. Venal; has, however, succeeded, by the simple and straightforwerd process of " square" dealing, in elevating that branch of our national sports toe position worthy of the support of its best patrons, thus pressatiog a glaring contrast to the gatherings of thou gentlemen who affect the management of hybrid meetings, the main object of which is pom oumel pin, to the utter extinction of every principle which cu n t to govern them as caterers for that sport which ought to be encouraged by every Englishman who loves his nationality. The interior of the subecription-room this afternoon was as lively as if the occasion had been the settling on some important flat race meeting during the summer months, and owing to the heavy nature of the " accounts " generally, it wee late in the afternoon before the speculative mind directed its attention to the Derby, that being the only event which was touched upon. 7,8, and 9 to 1 were offered respectively spinet Lord Lyon, Rustic, and Student, the only investment about either being on the favourite, about whom 15 to 2 was taken ours to 100/., while a point more than the price already men tioned about the ether two would have brought them strong support, Auguste, whose promotion to 20 to 1 some days ago has been looked upon as somewhat spurious, declined to 1,000 to 40 offered without a vaporise, while the deadly Stabber wan in terrible dema nd at 30 to 1, at which od ds he was backed to win some three thousand pounds. The Bribery colt still maintains his prestige at about the same price. Lord St. Vincent's colt Haden who has been rather quiet for some months back, exhibited to day some strong symptoms of • "corning " tendency, having been inquired in good quarters, one result being a single bet of 1,000 to 40, the layer declining to go on. Of the extreme outsiders, the only new one worthy of special mention is Sir Frederick Johnstone's ]lies Lavinia oolt, about whom 4.000 to 40 was accepted by • gentleman not always in with the Woodysates stable. Closing prices lipwardsof2ooofthesupportersannd f rierids of Mr. floghes, the member for Lambeth, yesterday, entertathed that gentleman at • public dinner at the Bridge house Hotel, Loodon.bridge.

The traits of " The Quern," „ The Prince of Wales and the rest of the Royal Family," were given and received with all the honours. To the toast of the " Army, Navy, and Volunteers," Sir F. BUXTON, M.P., responded. The CtiailtilAN then rose to propose the tout of the evening—" The Health of Mr. Hutto., the new member for Lambeth." In doing so be complimented the electors on ' their having returned that hon. gentleman as their repro. putative. He had knows Mr. Hughes • long time, and be could tenure them that the longer his cosatituents knew him the better they would like him. Hr. Buxton next ad dressed himself to the affair, of Jamaica. The question was had the outbreak been suppressed with needless and shocking cruelty, or, on the contrary, was it the fact that the tremendous severity which, by Governor Eyrs'a own admission, had been exercised was justified by what had been @pekoe of as the "extreme peril st the hour"? That was a men question of facts end dates ; and we need turn to nothing whatever except the official dispatches of Governor Eyre and his colleague. He affirmed, end leaning himself on Governor gyre's despatches, he utterly defied contradiction, that when their seventies, or, as be called them, their atrocious cruelties, were com mitted. there was not the least shadow of justification for them, upon the ground that at the time there was any ap prehension whatever for the safety of the colony for say further outbreak on the part of the Degrees. Having recapitulated the occurrences is Jamaica as they have berm stated in the official documents, the hon. gentlemen brought his remarks on the subject to a close by expressing his opinion that what bad been dome by the whites in Jamaica was as atrocious as any of the acts for which we execrated the memory of wick men as the Duke of Cumberland in days gone by. He thought the liberal party ought to clear the fame of the country from the stain which rested upon it, as far as cored be now done, by demanding • most rigid inquiry into what had taken place in Jamaica. The hon. gentleman concluded by stating that he heartily rejoiced to me men like Earl Result and Mr. Gladstone at the head of the government. Mr. HUGHES, who on rising was received with loud and repeated cheers, mid i he was sure that all present would agree with him that amu is bispoatioe, however grateful be Might to be—and he was very grateful for their kind temp. itch—must feel himself in some little difficulty in respond. into the toast. For he could not forget that they we r e taldng him entirely on trust so far as his power to represent them properly in parliament was concerned ; that all their hearty greeting was in feet given him in respect el services which had yet to be performed. How them again to give an amount o f the meaner io which he bad performed the trust which they bad reposed in him, they might then be able to receive him as *lithe. elastically, and feel that they had Dot been mistaken alto. 'ether in their choice. (Cheers.) He felt, indeed, that their representatives would have no easy task in the coming parliament. Times had changed since they bad due him the honour of electing him. We bad lost the statesman who for ton years had been at the head of the government of the comtry with honour to himself and with advantage to Eng. lead. (Rear, hear.) He was a representative Englishman is •peat many punts of view. He was a representative rag Inian in the geniality of his character. He was thorougbly staunch to the men who supported him, and never turned his back on any of hie subalterns. That was a great quality for • prime litigator, for a statesman, for • man, and it was a Beyond which Englishmen thoroughly valued. (Chews.) Beyond all this he was • stsuach anti.slavery man, and did his utmost to carry out that policy which would do honour to England for generstioos to come. (Cheers.) That fine old statesman had gone, sad with him had been buried the lustre of which he was the representative. (Loud sheers.) During the last 10 or 12 years we had bees noting OD our oars—during the last five years we bad been watrbiog the great struggle of our time. The most liberal institutions the world had ever seen bad ass on their trial in the great civil war thst lad ben raging la America. That nation had I dope several remarkable things. It had brought out the most godlike and righteous ruler that had presided over apy people for the last 200 years. It had enabled that sountry to keep on foot a million of soldier, and had Mesabi out as great generals as bad ever appe ared during say of the great European wars, and it had supplied those fighting men with comforts of all kinds to a greeter extent then had been done during any war that had ever takes place on the face of the earth. (Cheers.) These free in stitutions had enabled the people to fight that, war to a successful issue, not merely to win the odd trick, but the rubber and the game. (Cheers and laughter.) And what had the people done? They had forgives everybody.. Be was proud to say that a nation sprung from ourselves had concluded • tied war by saying: "Gentlemen, come back to us. We have so desire for revenge." (Cheers.) As he had said, we had been resting on our oars whilst that great strife had bees going os, but it was impossible that men ca lling themselves liberals should rest upon their oars any longer. (Cheers.) Be would ask if the country had not very good prospects ander the present go vernineot. He felt that there bad seldom bees a time in our history when there bad been abetter chance for the party of progreas—for the party that looked forward instead of backward —guise that we now had at the head of the go vernment that veteran reformer Earl Russell, and we --- had now as the loader of the House of Com.

John Norington, a well-dressed young man, described as a clerk. aged 29 ; Henry Williams, 45, • grinder; sad William TbewiPkies, 38, labourer, were brought before Mr. Alderman Stone, at the Ou'ildhall Police Court, yesterday, on a amigo of burgle:lonely breaking into the warehouse of Messrs. Waddington Soo, embroils makers, of No. 1 . Colemanetroat, with intent to steal, and also with having is their poasessiou at night two picklock keys, • dark lantern, a jemmy, • gimlet, • chisel, two bradawls, • halter, several pieces of rope, five bags, • centre-bit, and some inciter matches, with intent to commit • felony. The apprehension of these burglary created quite a com motion in court. It wee crowded with OM detwotivee, sod at different times • snore or two of metropolitan detectives. Colonel Pram, the commissioner of the City police, was present, as was also the City Solicitor Mr. Hamiltoo, the chief of the City detective police, and Mr. Superietesdent Faster. City Polioesargeant Oliver, 29, said—On Sunday morn ing, about five minutes past five, I limed the alarm bell ringing which is attached to the warehouse beenginfl to Messrs. Waddington and Soo, No.l, Coleman-street. went, in company with Polite-sergeant Fisher, to Giffie t s stables, which are in Coleman-street, and by means of • ladder got on the roof of the stables, and from there went scream several other roofs to the back premise. of 30 sod 31, Leedom-wall. I then saw one of the priameen on the top of the premises of Mr. Story, of 34, London-wall, but I cannot say which it was. I saw • ladder placed from the leads to the stoma floor of 30 and 31, London wall, which belong to I , leeire. Smith, Powell, and Co., carpet msou lecturers. We moved the ladder to another window, and entered the floor, passing through it to the third floor. I then saw • hole in the roof where I saw the prison's. I asked them what they were doing there, mud they made no answer. I told them to come down, which they did, and I took them into custody. I had to ake them through the window and down the lease, Fisher assisting me, on to • small platform, where there was • door leading into Mr. Mechlin's lithographic printing warehouse, I went through that, and was obliged to break open the front door in order to get into the street. On searching Tompkins I found on him a knife and 'some Inciter matches. Inspector Arthur Thomas Kelly—A little before five on Sunday _morning I was in the station, when Mears. Wad &piton's alarm bell rang. I gave orders for all the men at the staffers to surround their premises, and went there at once. I went on to the roof of the Blue Anchor pablic. hour, end awe after heard a voice say, " Here they are all safe," from some distance off. I went to Mechlin's, and after some trouble the door was opened, sad I took Tor. rington to the stations. I searched him and found a knife. He said. "There is nothing else; you will find them all behind." I said " What ?" and be said, The tools ;we have left them all there." I returned with Fisher and Oliver to Mr. Mechlin's, and from there to Powell, Smith, and Co.'s. Sergeant Oliver went out along the roof, and in about half as hour returned with the tools produced. Police-sergeant Oliver recalled—l pearled along the roofs until I came to the prosecntoe's premises, and found a door open there Lod saw the halter produced made feat to • beam and 'banging down into the third floor. I descended by it, accompanied by Bailey, another officer, and went to • the second Boar, through • hole in the flooring, which bad been made by mesas of • centre bit. On the second floor there was another large hole, made by the same instrument, with a rope dangling from the beams, the same as on the third by which we had let ourselves down. On the second floor there was a large hole drilled through a partition at the side of the staircase, and it appeared to have been doge by • centre bit. I also saw the door at the foot of the staircase open. There was also • hole in the flooring leading to the first floor, and, as in the other floors, a rope attached to one of the beams. I went through the house on to the first floor, where I saw soother piece of board cut out of the flooring !eliding to the ground floor, bat it was not cut quite through. the I also red portions of the centre bits on the way leading to ground floor. I returned to the hole leading to the ground floor, and found the stock of a centrebit, a chisel, a crawler (" jemmy "), sod • dark lantern. Is purring through Smith, Powell, and Co.'s premises I also found two skele ton keys. The prier:leen were remanded is order to ascertain if they were known, or had a ny previous convictions agaisst them. None of the prisoners asked the witnesses soy questions, neither did they have anything to say for themselves. It is said that Williams belonged to the notorious gang of which Johnson was the head, ad that Tompkins is well known ; however that rosy be, it would seem that the police have made • good step towards breaking up a gang which might have committed great depredations now that the house breaking season has commenced. All the prisoners refused to give any address, and only submitted when they found that they were thoroughly enviruned by the police through the precantioos taken. The roofs of the warehouses over which they went covered such a space, mid led into so many different streets and alleys, that it required over twenty policemen to guard every exit which the facilities of the place afforded either for making an escape or mitring their booty. The work which was dome was of the most laborione kind, the flooring of the different rooms, which were many, being l inch thick, and the cutting dons entirely by the centre bit, one of the burglars' boat tools. it appears that the prosecu tor have before been victims probably to these prisoners, for they seemed to understand thoroughly the working of the alarm bell, and attempted to get at it but could not. Oo a former occasion they wen successful and stopped its ringing, but in this instance they came across tell tale," just as they were completing th eir work , which rang the bell for over eight minutes, which ensured their appre hension. Had they had time to descend to the ground floor, which was their object, for nothing else was touched, they would then no doubt have filled their begs with the meat expensive silk" which were stored there, and perhaps made good their retreat ; but in this instance the bell beiog attended to with the greatest promptness has in awed their capture.

MIJRDER AT SCARBOROUGH. —A coroner's jury found a verdict of " Wilful Murder" last week against Arthur Flood, George Black, Ann Oxley, and Ellen Sands, who are committed to York Castle for trial at the next assizes, for the murder of Mr. Richard Race. On Tuesday night, the 21st ult., deceased, who was a ebipowoer, was in the company of three or four dissolute women, with one of whom he walked away. He and the woman were seen to enter a by-lass in Aberdeen-walk. and after being lost sight of for about a quarter of an hour, the prisouer Oxley made her appearance alone at the bottom of the lase. She beckoned to another woman (the prisoner Surds), and the two returned up the lane tofietber. Mr. Race was not seen again that night. At about eleven o'clock the two women were seen in an adjoining street, soil only a few minutes after they had gone up the lane re ferred to. The prisoner Flood was also seen in the im mediate neighbourhood at the same time. He, the two women, and Black all live at the same house, the landlady of which swore to their having had no money up to between 11 and 12 o'clock, when the three first named came home, and finding Black is the hones the whole party went out to a dram shop and spent money freely. This they continued to do next day, the two women also buying ve noms articles of dress. Early the next morning Mr. Race was found in theism be had been seen to enter with Oxley the night before in a totally unconscioas state. His hat was off, hie waistcoat was torn, his clothes very much dirtied, one of hie pockets turned out ; hie puree and money, which he was known to carry, were gone. On examination he was found to have a large contused wound on his right hip, a large discoloration on his shoulder, and marks of discoloration on his neck. He wes taken home, where he remained insensible until his death, which took place or the following Friday evening. The pri soner Oxley has confessed to having robbed Mr. Rare, but she denies any knowledge of video°e having been done to him, alleging that while with her he because quite incapable, which condition she attributes to drunkenness. On the other hand, several witnesses deposed that deceased was sober when he went with Oxley ; and in behalf of the prisoners the hypothesis was mooted that de ceased had an attack of apoplexy while in the woman's company, one of the medical witnesses at the inquest also describing the symptoms presented by the deceased as throe of apoplexy, and alto accounting for the bruises on the body by supposing them to be caused by a fall or by convulsively strugglieg on the ground while is a fit The undoubted participation of the four primates it, the money Oxley admitted she had stolen from Mr. Race's person ; the fact of Flood being sees in the immediate neighbour hood both before and after Mr. Raos went with Oxley, together with the known character of the prisooars, led the jury to take the worst view of the case, and to return a verdict of "Wilful murder" against them. Mr. Race was 65 years of age, and was a strong, healthy men.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. George Lewis, 27, dirk, was indista for staling the mun of 81., with intent to defraud. The prisoner pleaded guilty. Mr. F. IL Lewis (instroolad by Mr. Abrahams, of lane) prosecuted ; Mr. Metcalfe appeared for the prisoner. The details of this case Were somewhat remarkable, and from thi statement of Mr. Lewis it appeared that the prisoner had been for some years in the service of the prosecutor, who is • eicar maw facturer and importer, carrying on business in ManasU. street. The primmer hid been elevito years in his 'aryl*, although sow he was only 26 yam of age, and he was in the receipt of • salary of 2/. 10s. per wink. H. was in the habit of receiving the weekly wages to pay the workmen, but by falsely adding up the sooonnts, sad carrying on the amount from time to time, be had contrived to misappropriate • aim of no Ism than 8001. It was his duty to make • return to his muter of the sums paid to the workmen and return him ths bal ance. His master appeared to have so much confidao• him that no sopervision of the 'canna took place. It at peered to be the practice of the prisoner to put the proper amount under each workman's name, but in • marginal note the supposed aggregate sum was °caldera:4y increased, and these marginal weekly sums were added up at the bottom, and no suspicion was excited. The prow cutor by mere accident discovered these frauds, and' speaking to the prisoner about them , he instantly ran t his cat that was hanging up in his room, took out • bottle hastily, drink from it, and soon after fell down insensible. Medical assistance was obtained, and in time the prisoner recovered. As examination of the bottle was made, and was found to contain a very poismasus preps/Mist, showing that the Prisoner was prepared if ever an geory should arise which should render it necessary for him to wa it. Mr. Metcalfe, on behalf of the primmer, said he bad been eleven years in his situation, and was tempted through the confidence placed in him to rob his muter, and from the motto( a supervision of hie accounts. The Amtstant-Jags said this was • very flagrant ma, for the prisoner had been toilet on for two years robbing his master, 'mounting altogether to th e sum of 8001. He was • single man, and whether he bad got rid of the money or placed it in the hands of his triads be did not know, but it appeared, anticipating this discovery, he had ash ort time before mods an assignment of some property for benefit of his relatives, apparently for the purpose of preventing his employer from obtaining any portion of his property, There wee a diffenoe of opinion amongst the magistrates the mutates would have been more severe than that he then about to paw, which was that he be imprisoned kept to hard labour for twe years. THE POLICE COURT& MANSION-HOUSE. William Eyre Arthur, lately a confidential clerk in establishment of Messrs. Peek and CO., toe merchants, Rood-lane and Liverpool, was brought before the Lord Mayor for further examination upon the charge of battling 4001. the otoeies: of his employers, there being serious circumstance of aggravation in compaction with i charge, that the prisoner was in the receipt of a salary 6001. a year, and that he bad been only a few months in service of the prosecutors at the time his defakatioas • discovered. Mr. Humphreys, of the firm of Humphreys and Marga of Newgate-street, who was instructed to prosecute, when the prisoner had been plaited at the her addressed his lord ship, and said that he wee aware of the nature of ti charge that was brought against him, and that be was mended for the purpose of affording an opportunity ' the production of further evidence. Stoop the sonar had been in custody, however, the prosecutors received letters from the wile of the prisoner and also r. some of his relations, and it appeared that the prisoner's wife was almost at the point of death, and believing if the charge were persisted in that her death would be the consequence, with a view to prevent the possibility of their being considered in any way parties to such a melancholy result, and upon that ground alone, they were desirous withdraw from the prosecution. So far as his lordship • concerned, he might state that the length to whirl case was carried oo the former occasion was to allot certain sumo of money had been received by the prisoner, sad that he had not paid over those sums ; but there not any direct evidence to show that the money actually been received by the prisoner ; and, under R.. circumstances, he therefore hoped his lordship would permi the prosecutors to withdraw from offering any fr evidence. He thought it right at the same time to that the prosecutors were actuated by no other feelin the matter than that of humanity, and that they had received, sod did not expect to receive a single farthi from the prisoner or any of his friends, on account - deficiencies. The Lord Mayor said that so far as he was concerned case was not complete, and if the evidence that • necessary to complete it was not produced there wet end of the matter, and the prisoner must of course b charged. At the lame time be thought be should . going out of his way to say to the prisoner that be boa a very narrow escape, and was very much indebted the prosecutors for their humanity. His lordship at same time observed that the prisoner was a young man, he hoped be would retrieve his character, and that bad now taken place, and the narrow escape he had would be a warning to him for the rest of his life. The prisoner, who appeared to be suffering acute anguish, replied in a low tone that he hoped it would, he was then ordered to be discharged from custody. Two well-dressed young men, who gave the of John Wilkins and 31 alter Watkins, were brought custody of Sergeant Packman, a detective officer, charge.. with having committed a forgery upon the Leamington Priors and Warwickshire Banking Company,st Lennior" It appeared from the evidence of Packman that previous afternoon, about half-pastl2o'clock, he went shop of Mr. Montagu the money-changer in Corobi found the prisoner Wilkins in the shop ; and Mr. Mr handed to him three 101. notes of the Leami Bank and a 51. note of the Warwickshire ing Company, which be said the prisoner to have changed, but which had been a. on account of their being ter' of the produce of gery. He asked Wilkins where he got the not from, he replied that they had been given to him by some ',- man with whom he had been living at Notting-bit. put some other questions to the prisoner, the ateliers which were not at all satisfactory, and he told him that must go with him to the police.atatioa. As they ... going along, the other prisoner (Watkins), who appeared have been standing outside the shop, name up and spoke Wilkins, and the latter then said that he was the man who had given him the notes to get changed. 1 asked Watkins whether this was true, and he said was, acid that he knew it was all right, as he had receive, notes at the beak at Leamington himself on Saturday He searched the prisoner Wilkins at the police-station, found fifteen sovereigns and eight shillings woe . - also a watch apparently new, and several other which appeared to have been recently purchased. Mr. John Lund deposed that he was superintendent the Leamington police. and on Saturday lest he received formation of a forgery having been committed at the 7 miegton Priors Batik, and he immediately took the r eery measures to stop the notes that bad been paid forged cheque. He knew both the prisoners, bat tl given fake names ; the real name of Wilkins being and that of Watkins being Watson. In answer to spentise put by the Lord May.
