Mr. Wilke was clerk to the trustees, and the bond was par able to him or irk successors ; but the present action was brought, not by his successor in the office of clerk, but by the treasurers of the trustees. The.Citrer Barrow overruled the objection. By the Act the trustees were empswe ed t s bring such an action, either in the name of their clerk or of their trustees. .Ir.

Yesterday, Hear" Wet, and two other defendant!, who, it will be rscollected, were convicted last Sessions of disinterring a dead body at Hendon, and cutting r.ir the head, sere trought up f ir judgment. We gave a report of the case at the tithe. The corpse was that of Mr. Holm's mother, who had been buried twenty years, and his alleged object was to make some plirenr.logical expel meats upon it. with a view t • trace the source of all hered.tary disorder. The CHAIRMAN said, that he felt much embarrassed is giving judgment in this case; tor, though he dud not like to say much about it, it certainly was a gross vuta rage upon public decency. If it were a crime to dis. inter a dead body under any circumstances, this was certainly a ease of greater gravity. as the defendant had cut off his own mother's head ! As the defendant, Mr. Holm. however, bad committed the offence under an idea that he was rendering a service to science, he would not ruin him by sending him to prison, and, under all the circumstances, the sentence he should have to pass was, that Holm should pay a fine of SOL to the King, and the two other defendants 51. each. The money was paid into Court, and they nese discharged. CONSPIRACY AND FRAUD. • frilliest Spacer AertAhoase and William Loam, were indictedfor having in the Slst of January, unlaa fully, and by false pretences, obtained from one %Wham Bal dey, two bills of Exchange. for -the payment of the sum of 501. each, and value 501. each, with tat tit to d fraud him of the same. The indictment, which was extremely long. contained various counts, stating the false pretences to have been that the defedants were about to establish a w•wapape , to be called the London tree Press, and that Joseph Hume, Esq. M.P. and Co!ot.el Joi.et, had each pit chased five 1001. shares, and that they were pat toes irs the concern, and that several other pet sons had pur chased shares to the amount altogether of 1 50 1. The witnesses on both sides were orde.ed out of Omit. Mr. Baotoutt stated the case fir the p ostcution. He said that the present case was one of that d _Cf C stun so common in the piesent day, a here artful and designing men invented schemes to plunder those who were less artful than themselves. The defendant. Northhouse, who had been some time eonneit•tl with newspapers, was at present a prisoner for debt in the King's Bench Prison.

[The CHAIRMAN-Why, really, you inu.et have had a great deal of faith.] When he gave the bills defendant told him he would never be called upon for payment, as be might dispose of his shares if be liked. They assured him that the bills should not be paid away. Before the bills became Jue Northhonse asked him to go to the Kendal Tavern, add said that if he wished to dispose of his share, he might do so. He went and met some persona there.— It was not to his knoaledite a Meeting of the Share holders of the paler. He sighed a paper, but did not , know what its content; were; was not told it was the Resolutio.r of the Shareholders. Mr. Duna—l call upon you to produce that paper. Mr. C.

Witness continued—He called a M. eting of the Shareholders, when the Stamp O ffi ce applie dto him, and invited Mr. Hume, but he Jid not attend—(Here Northbouse laughed). Mr. C. Piftwes—Sir, it is most disgraceful to rob a man first, and then laugh at him afterwards. Examination continued—Notthhouse told him that for the first nine weeks he obtained the money for the stamps from Mr. Hume. Re examined—He knew nothing from the formation to the breaking up of the concern, except from tha re pre ciliation of Noe thhouse. This witness's examination lasted upwards of 2 hours. Mrs. Baldey confir med the evidence of the last wit ness in every material point. Mr. Barnard state I that he was the person who sop gested some doubts to the prosecutor as to the regu tar•ty of the tian,action. That when 'brthhouse was questioned upon the subject, he said to the prosecutor. - My good mar.. it's all tight enough. there well be a deed ready ire a few days—Lord L smote will shortly come from Feline, and then every thing n ill be settled.** Mr. C. PHILLIPS.- So, then the paper was to repre •ent England, Ireland. and Scutland—(A laugh). Neatilhoose also said that Mr, M•Culleim would pro. cure all the East India Company's Advertisements for the Paper. Jo-eph Hume, Esq. M.P. was next called—He stated that he knew of the establishment rf the London Free Press in 1827. He never had five 1001. shares in that concern he never was a partner in it ; he did not put chase a share for his .secretary ; he had never stated Colonel Jones was a shareholder, tecause he knew to do contrary. Crossexamihed by Mr.Dons—He knew Northhoute persOnally in 1825. He forwarded a e mmunication to him as Editor of -the Glasgow Free Press in Sevens ber, 1824. Northhouse,os Editor of that paper. atchro• cued a removal of the restrictions under which the manufacturing classes then laboured, and a itnoe used the paper as a medium of commit icating to the working classes his sentiments upon that subject. In 1826, he intimated his intention to witness of leaving Glasgow, and establishing a paper in Lon. don by subscription. Witness offered his assistance, provided _he pursued the sane-line tf politics as hr had done when he was Editor of the Glasgow Flee Press, but at the same time told him be would never be a proprietor. He saw a prospectus soon after, and ttibuted numbers of them among a club then about to be formed, moo; Members of 'aliment. and other advocates of Parliamentary Reform. The club declined patronising the Paper, and then witness advised North- one, as it would be an excellent speculation, by which' house to drop the idea altogether When applied to by be would quickly realise a peat deal of money.

STR•sOR Dynes Or • Svaw•aoass or • SOCIETY — The ardess of a Benefit Society Wig summoned before the Loom M•ros and Alderman Loc•s. in consequence of having refused to pay to a senior Stewardess who bad just abdicated, the sum of one shil hog a head for examining personally twelve females, who were candidates for admission into the Society. It is the practice, as was stated, in the Society in question, for the senior Stewardess, upon the application of females to become members, to institute an examination into the condition of the body. as well as of the chancier of each candidate; and the fee allowed for such examination, is said to be one shilling ahead. This fee, the st nit), Stewardess, by vino, of her office, appro. priates to her own purposes. The Secretary of t►e Society attended to dispute the claim. The complainant deposed that she had regularly put the bodies and reputations of twelve candidates to the test, sod made the proper return ; and she informed the Magistrates that the money was Mt very easily earned, as the duties of Stewardess included still further examination. Alderman !auks desired to know the full extent of the services performed fur the amount demanded. The complainant rather reluctantly made a disclosure of her ad ditional work—" Why." said she, " your Worships, you must know that we must be very cautious as to what persons we let amongst us, and that their state of health is good. We, therefore, not only examine the women who wish to become members, but we examine their husbands too"—(Lood laughter). Alderman Lucas said. that that was certainly a very delicate son of employment, and one for which a Lady deserves to be paid well—(Laughter). The complainant.—Why, your Worship, it is sometimes a de- 1 Beane thing; for sometimes a husband's business may be of a per nieious kind, and if eo, the wife may be always ailing, and claiming upon the box. Now, It is our object to prevent sickness as muck as possible ; and, therefore, we look to the man as well as the woman. Alderman Lucas—And how did you find the ladies and Gen tlemen? Did they stand the test, body and mind 2—The can pLislant said, there was no objection. The Loan Mairoa thought that the claim, if it accorded with the regulations. was fully made nut. The complainant produced the Society Boni, and pointed out the particular regulation which affected her interest. The Secretary said, that the regulation meant, that the Stew ardess should have a shilling for each examination, but that twelve et twenty, or any number of persons, might be included io nee examination. It was never meant that s .billing should he given for merely looking over an individual's body—(♦ laugh). Here the candidates were all together, and one shilling was the tee for 'the whole. The Lotto Mayon said, it appeared to Mm that the regulation certainly gave to the &ewardrs one shilling a head for examining, and that a smaller sum could not have been contrinalated by those who framed the laws. The nature of her duties certainly entitled her to the sum required. Aileron's Lucas said, that she might have bad a most laborious office to perform, if the candidates happened to live at great ...i -tems from each other. lie•ides the double examination alluded to was one of an extraordinary kind, and subjected a female to dingreeahle matter—(Laughter). Secretary ;untended with greased against an order of the Magistrates. lie declared that the funds of the Society never could *nod such draining. * Oh! your Worships," said he, "if you knew what dreadful work I have!"—(A laugh). Alderman lauctia— What dreadful work do you speak of ? Secretary- 7 ConsiJer that I have to manage 250 women in this Society, your Worships !—( Laughter). The Loan Maros— Two hundred and ! That la a serious affair indeed..-a desperate one. Alderman Lucas—Goo help you, my poor fellow—l never knew a man yet who did not think one woman quite enougli--(Laughter). The Magistrates then issued the order to pay the Stewardess. BOW—STREET. Information of a burglary cwumittedMt Sunday night, or lion. day mooning, in the dwelling house of Capt. Johnson, It.
