LAW-THIS DAY. QUEEN'S BENCH. (Before the Lord Chief Justice and a Special Jury.) HUDSON Y. SIR F. SLADE iND OTHERS. This case (the particulars of wkich will be found in another column) was resumed to-day. Mr. John Cale, inspector of the Ciy Police division, 3d division, the inspector who was on duy at the Fleet-street station when Mr. Hudson was brought there, was called as the first witness this morning. He said that Mr. Bagshawe charged Mr. Hudson with stealing a bock, and ho then in sisted that Mr. Hudson should go into the felon's dock. Two or three other gentlemen were there. Mr. Rodwell was one, and he believed Sir Frederic Slade was there. sla S d ir e. F. Slado (laughing and standiig up)—l am Sir F Mr. Collier, who was examining tie witness—l believe the witness is mistaken about Sir Frederick Slade, lam told that it was Mr. Digby Seymour mho was there. The witness then stated the circtmstances connected with the charge at the station, and tic reason why he dis missed it. Mr. Bagshawe charged theprisoner with taking the book, but witness declined accepting the charge in that shape. Mr. Hudson inquired whaler Mr. Bagshawe charged him with stealing the book, and Mr. Bagshawe said the terms were synonymous. Winess remarked that if Mr. Hudson stole the book it was easy to say so, Mr. Bagshawe declined to say that the plaintiff stole the book, and witness therefore dismissed the charge. The inspector, who gave his evidenee with the greatest clearness and propriety, was cross-examined at some length by Mr. Sergeant Pigott, but noling of any conse quence came out of it, except that he laid that Mr. Bag shawe distinctly used the word stealing. By Mr. Collier—lf Mr. Hudson had not been charged with stealing in the first instance he sherid not have ordered him into the felon's dock. He had afforied the defendants as much assistance as he had rendered to the plaintiff in this matter. Another police officer was called to prove the same facts. Mr. M. Chambers said this was the case for the plaintiff. Mr. Sergeant Shee proceeded to address the jury for the defence. There were two issues on the record—first, did the defendants assault the plaintiff in the) way described ? an d as Limy - in their parliament chamber or at the police-station give the plaintiff in custody on a charge of felony ? He contended that there had been no deli berate, formal, persisted-in charge of stealing preferred against Mr. Hudson, and that it would be idle to suppose that the Benchers for a moment suspected that there was, on the part of Mr. Hudson, an animus furandi, which was necessary to substantiate a charge of stealing. In fact, Mr. Hudson made very light of the charge, and was not detained at the police-station more than a few minutes, and subjected to no real inconvenience. There was no evidence that either of the defendants, except Mr. Bag shawe, gave Mr. Hudson into custody, and the jury would have the opportunity of hearing from Mr. Bagshawe what really did take place at the police-station. Then came the question—did the defendants assault and "rummage" the plaintiff? This involved the character of the plaintiff, and also, however painful it might be, the character of another gentleman, and also the character of the defendants, who were entrusted by the Government with an important discretion over the members of the legal profession. Well, then, did they assault and rummage the plaintiff? No doubt they did, for in this case the maxim " Qui facit per alium facit per se," and th 3 Benchers were responsible for what was done, but he denied that either of the defendants personally took part in the assault. What occasion was there for the Benchers to call in their porters and servants to assist them ? Mr. Hudson was a small spare man, and Sir Frederick Slade could have held him up in his hand without the slightest difficulty —(laughter)—and so, he believed, could Mr. Bagshawe have done. They advisedly took no personal part in the assault, but they called in their servants because they be lieved that when a thing was to be done with violence the more force used the better. In fact, it was the learned trea surer who presided who ordered the servants to obtain the book from Mr. Hudson, but he (the learned sergeant) ad mitted at once that all the defendants were guilty, if they had not a justification for what they had done. The learned counsel, referring to Mr. Digby Seymour's case, out of which the present trial arose, urged upon the jury that the profession of a barrister should not be allowed to be made a cloak and cover for professional dishonesty, and that a charge made against any of its members should be sifted to the bottom, in order that the fame of the profession might be untarnished. The next point to which the learned sergeant directed attention was, whether the papers which Mr. Hudson took were really his, and he came to the conclusion that they were only his as a director of the company, writing, with the assumed authority of the company, to the manager of the mine in - Virginia. Mr. Hudson, he maintained, would not have been justified in taking away the h,ok containing his instructions to the manager when he ceased to be a member of the board. The book was the property of the Waller Mining Company, and having:been handed to the Benchers by one of the officers of the company was for the time lawfully in their possession. Mr. Hudson, ho urged, obtained possession of the book by an unworthy and disreputable contrivance in order to screen tumselt nom the peril of being proved guilty of that which was only suspected against Mr. Seymour, and to prevent the Benchers from arriving at a fair judgment. [The case was proceeding when we went to press.' (Before the Judge Ordinary and a Special Jury.) This extraordinary case was resumed this morning. Joanna Mahony, cross-examined by the Queen's Advo cate—l was a servant at Mr. Nolan's for about eight months. I went in 1861, and left in July, 1862. I remem ber Lieutenant and Mrs. Ellis and Major Foster coming to lodge there. I often observed that the major and Mrs. Ellis went into the lieutenant's bedroom when he went out. It was my duty to wait on the lodgers. I told my mistress about it. I assisted to dress Mrs. Ellis in the drawing room. I have seen the major there. Mrs. Ellis wore a great many dresses. The major used to assist me to lace her dress sometimes, as he thought I could not do it. I mean her outside dross. Mr. Ellis used to go to bed about 11 o'clock. He used to retire first. Mrs. Ellis and the major used to sit up after that. Mrs. Ellis used to turn off the gas at night. After breakfast she generally went up stairs, where she used to remain for some time. Re-examined by Sergeant Ballantine—Neither Mrs. Ellis nor Major Foster gave me anything when they left. I don't recollect ever c a lli ng hi m " the o ld ma j or ." I used to see what I have spoken of because I had to attend on another family on the second floor. I used to see them in the major's bedroom on the third floor when I went up stairs to get an apron. I don't recollect how many times I have seen there in one day. The Judge—Try and recollect. Witness—l can't. The Judge—Well, was the door open ? Witness—lt was ajar about so much (about a foot and a half.) In answer to other questions from the learned counsel, the witness said—l have seen them in Grant's room. He was Mr. Ellis's servant. She used to go into the bed room before breakfast. It was generally an every day occurrence. Tho dress I have spoken of was blue ball dress, and it heed behind. By the Quean's Advocate—My hands were not too dirty to lace the drEss. The major thought he could pull it to gether better than I could. (Laughter.) Mr. Ellis through illness sometimes used to remain in bed till 11 or 12 o'clock. He used to go out walking sometimes about 2 or 3 in the afternoon. Witness—l can't remember how often. The Judge sought to ascertain whether it xne Mr. Ellis's custom to go out of an afternoon, and at what time, but she would not give a direct answer s and the judge directed her to stand down. Mary Ann Bartholomew—l was servant it June of the present year at Mrs. Norton's, ez6, Orchard-street, Port man.square. Major Foster, his son, Lieutenant, and Mrs. Ellis were lodging there. The major occupied the back room on the second-floor, his son the same room, and Mr. and Mrs. Ellis the two drawing-rooms, the btck one being the bed-room. They all sat in the front room. Grant's room was on the third floor. I recollect on one occasion I went to prepare the major's bed-room, Nam. I found it locked. I knocked, and got an answer from Mts. Ellis. She said I could come in in a minute or two, I did not wait, but went into the front room on the lame floor. I saw Mrs. Ellis come ont of the major's nom about 20 minutes after I had knocked. It was about half-past nine. She had her petticoats on with a dressing-goln over them. After she. left I saw Major Foster come out in about five minutes after. On another occasion I found ho same door locked, when Mrs. Ellis told me I could CO mi in directly. I waited outside the door for about 10 minu te e , when Mrs Ellis came out and went into the drawin , gloom. In 10 m i n utes after the major came out. I have besides this s e en Mrs. Ellis go into the major's bedroom liefore break fast, and also at other times. Lieut. Ellis sometimes did not get up all ,the day. One day I heard Ars. Ellis say take on one gt G o up stairs, major, and I'll come after." In about two passed. It or three minutes after he went. I was setting the tea r E oo l was i n n a b i 1 :1 things in the room when I heard this. Whell I have been going up stairs to bed I have seen Mrs. Ellis coming down from the major's bed-room..

I was never asked to swear I saw the major kiss Mrs. Ellis. Elizabeth Bartholomew—l went to life at Orchard street after my sister left. Major Foster and Mr. and Mrs. Ellis were E topping there. I thought the major treated Mrs. Ellis more as her husband than a friend. They fre quently went out together, but Mr. Ellis used not to be out with them very frequently. Ilrecollect in Juno of the present year going up stairs one day and finding' the major's room door locked. My sister was on the stairs at the time. I knocked, but received no answer. I went to Mrs. Norton's bedroom, and after I had been there about a quarter of an hour I saw Mrs. Ellis come out of the room and go downstairs, and the Major followed her in about five minutes. I have on other occasions seen her leave the major's bedroom when he was there. I have also seen her there in the evening between eight and nine. I was going up to my room to dress. Mr. Ellis WAS that evening in the drawing-room, and Major Foster was in his bedroom, and about 12 o'clock of that night I saw Mrs. Ellis come out. of the major's room evidently thinking she was unobserved. I recollect Mrs. Ellis taking a bath in her bedroom. I was attending on her. The door was open. The major and lieutenant were then out. I heard them coming then up stairs, when I asked her if I should shut the door, and she said, "Oh, never mind, it's only the major." I shut the door. After she came out of the bath she got into bed, and then Major Foster brought her some shrimps and bread and butter. (Laughter.) I asked if 1 should be wanted any more that evening, when Mrs. Ellis said "No," and I left the room, the major being there. On one occasion I went into the drawing-room unexpectedly, when they were both sitting close together. The Judge—How were they sitting ? Witness—He was sitting in a rocking-chair, and she was sitting on his lap . The Judge—And that is what you call sitting close together. (Laughter.) witness—l have seen the major kiss Mrs. Ellis. Cross-examined by Sergeant Ballantine—l don't know Berridge. I know a Mrs. Affleek. I told her I had a sister. She was asking me about this affair. Mr. Barron first spoke to me about my evidence. I told him about the bath and the locking of the doer. Did not Mr. Barron show you Mrs. Ai(leek's address ? Well now, I recollect he did. Then Mr. Barron was not the first person whe spoke to you 1111 out your euyiaouoo P—No ;ho WAR not. I have been in a servant's home, but not a reformatory. Mrs. Affieck got me the situation I at'present hold. Sarah Loeber—l used to live at 39, Somerset-street' Portman-square, as cook. Mr. and Mrs. Ellis and Major Foster were lodging there at the time, which was in the August and September of the present year. I used to notice that the major was very attentive to ►Mrs. Ellis. I have seen them in each others bedroom. One day I was in Mrs. Ellis's bedroom, when a note was brought, and she told me it was from the jewellers. She read it and then said, "oh, they have not got enough hair." She then directed me to get her the scissors. Having cut some of her hair she put it in an envelope and I gave it to the person who was waiting. Mrs. Ellis told me the hair was for a locket they were going to give the major. When they parted, the lieutenant to go to Gibraltar and the major to India, they both cried, and the major kilned her. By Sergeant Ballantine—When this took place Mrs. Ellis told her husband it was a very sad parting. Emily Goldsworthy—l was housemaid at 39, Somerset street. I thought at first it was the major's daughter. The case will not conclude to-day, EX7RAORDINARY DELIBERATION IN COMMI72ING SUICIDE. A singular case of felo de se, accompanied by cir cumstances of extraordinary premeditation and re solution, was investigated by Mr. H. R. Walthew, the deputy coroner, on Thursday, at the Adam and Eve Tavern, Lower Homerton. Joseph Wooden, Horner-place, Hackney, said that last Monday he was fishing with two other young men in the River Lea, near the Hackney Marshes. Upon shifting their position a little they observed a man standing on the opposite bank, who hailed them, and inquired whether it was 3 o'clock. They replied that it was past that hour. He then took from his pocket a silk handkerchief, and hold ing it up said, "You may as well have this, would you wish it ?" They answered that they should, but that it was too far to go round to get it. He an swered, "Your journey is not so long as the one I am going to make." He spoke with such perfect ease and indifference that witness thought he was merely joking, He returned the handkerchief to his pocket, and without moving his feet bent down and deliberately dived into the water. He rose once,and then sank finally. Witness and his companions ran round to the locksman, who brought the drags, and the body was recovered. I. Cadmore said that he was locksrnan at the Ho morton Lock. When he got the body of the deceased out of the water he found that the limbs and arms were bound together in an extraordinary manner. The ankles were tied close together by a cord. Another cord passing round the body outside the arms, above the elbows, kept the arms fixed to the faiths. The wrists were fastened within a few inches of each other by means of slip knots. No doubt de ceased was a first rate swimmer, and he tied himself up in order to be sure not to float through invo luntary struggling in the water. Witness had observed the deceased on the Saturday and Sun day previous apparently examining the banks in such a peculiar way that he watched him. The body was dressed in clothes which were all nearly new. In the pockets were found some copper money, and the duplicate of a ring, pledged for 10s., at Seeker's, City-road. A police-sergeant said that inquiries at Seeker's had failed to discover anything, but that the ring had been pledged by a young woman on Dec. 12. No clue could be obtained as to the identity of the deceased. Dr. Wright said that deceased was apparently 40 years of age, and was a healthy man. From the evidence witness had heard he should infer that deceased was of sane mind, and knew perfectly well the nature of the act he was about to commit. The Coroner then summed up, and the jury, after a long deliberation, returned a verdict of I ielo de so. The Coroner remarked that a more deliberate perpetration of felo de se it would be difficult to find, and he immediately issued his warrant for the interment of the body by torchlight, and without the ries of Christian burial.

CHARWOMAN. —Eliza Jess, a char woman, living in Carnaby-street, was charged before Mr. Knox with stealing a crape shawl, some brooches and bracelets, and other articles of the value of £6 from Mr. Win. Fenn, whitesmith, of 10, West-street, Golden-square. Mr. Fenn said the prisoner had been in his employ some time as charwoman. For some months he had missed se veral articles, amongst others bracelets, rings, brooches, a crape shawl, a coral necklace, &c. Suspecting the pri soner to be the person who had taken the articles he gave information `to the police. Mr. Edward Stafford, jeweller, of Princes-street, said that about live weeks ago the prisoner brought some of the articles produced to his shop, and he bought them of her for 4s. 6rl, She also brought him a coral necklace which he bought, but had since sold. Mr. Knox—To one of your regular customers r Witness—No, sir. Mr. Knox—Did you ask any questions of the prisoner? Witness--I asked her if they were her own, and she said they were. Sergeant Cole, 23 C, said between nine and ten the pre vious night he saw the pri§oner in Carnaby-street, and from the description he had reeeived ho suspected she was the person he was in:search of. Seeing her he asked lif her name was Jess, and whether she had worked at Mr. Fenn's; she answered both questions in the affirmative. He then asked if she was aware that several things had been stolen from Mr. Fenn, and she said she was. He then told her that he was a police officer and that he should take her into custody, and cautioned her. On going to her room he found two duplicates relating to articles which she said did not belong to Mr. Fenn, but to another person she worked for. She then said that she had sold some studs belonging to Mr. Fenn to a Mr. Benjamin, and two brooches, two rings, and a necklace to a little jeweller in Princes -street. She also said that she had pledged the crape shawl and two brooches at Mr. Bartrum's, pawnbroker, in Princes. street. The prisoner said that as she had told him (Cole), she hoped the prosecutor would be lenient with her, and that she did not know what possessed her to do it. In answer to a question from Mr. Knox, Sergeant Cole said that he was afraid drink was the cause of the prisoner acting as bhe had done, and that it was not the first time. She was remanded for a week. WESTMINSTER. THE WORST SPECIHEN OF HER SEl.—Anne Stevens, a woman who, when first brought to this court eight years ago, was a person of very genteel appearance and demean our, was charged with being drunk and riotous. The prisoner has been charged at this court no less than 50 times. In the early stage of her appearances some en deavours were made to reclaim her from the vicious course of life she was leading, and she was sent by Mr. Arnold home to her friends, who are very respectable, but returned in less than a week and resumed her former habits. Step by step she has descended the ladder of vice and violence, and on two or three occasions has hurled concealedimis siles or the office inkstands at the magistrate's head. On her being placed before Mr. Poynter yesterday he inquired whether she had anything in her hand. The gaoler replied in the negative ; everything, even the hats of persons had been put out of her reach. Pris A:ler—l have got something in my hand; don't you see, I am holding my dress up. Look you Mr. Paynter—You must keep yourself quiet. Prisoner—Or elm you'll transport me, of course. Yon would like, would'nt you ? A Policeman proved that the found the accused intoxi • cated in a gentleman's doorway, in St. George's-square, at 6 on the previous evening, and endeavoured to remove her, when she used the most horrible language. Prisoner (to the magistrate)—Well, now, what would you like to do with me, eh ? 1 came out of prison yester day morning—you'd send me back. Mr. Paynter—What did she have last time ? Gaoler—A month, and her conviction was returned. Prisoner—Yes, her conviction was returned, and she had been returned to liberty two days in the last four months. You're making me quite reputable. I have no opportunity of being otherwise unless I do wrong in prison. Mr. Paynter—l shall remand you for the production of your last conviction, and then send you for three months. The prisoner's conduct here beggars all description. THAMES. OBTAINING GOODS UNDER FALSE PRETENCES.--A woman named Phoebe Williams, and better known as Jeffreys, was brought before Mr. Selfe charged with ob taining two red Crimean shirts, value 205., from Mr. John Dent, hosier, by means of false pretences. It appeared that on Thursday last the prisoner waited on Mr. Dent, and represented that she had been sent by Mrs Eliza Marshall, of Great Russell-place, Poplar, for two Crimean shirts, which were to be of the best quality. Mr. Dent, having a customer of the name and living at the place mentioned, allowed the prisoner to have the shirts and to leave the house with them, but having some suspicions, he followed her and saw her go into a public house. Ho waited some time, and did not see her come out again, she slipped out;the back way Mr. Dent then made enquiries of Mre. Marshall, and ascer tained from her that she had not sent the prisoner for the shirts, or given her any authority to make use of her name. The prisoner was sought after and apprehended yesterday by a police constable, who found upon her a pawnbroker's duplicate relating to the Crimean shirts, which she pawned a few minutes after she obtained them for 6s. The dupli cates of a new pair of boots and a dress piece were also found upon the prisoner, and it is supposed that she also obtained those articles by false pretences. The prisoner said she was guilty, and begged for mercy. In answer to questions by the Magistrate she said she was thirty-eight years of age, a widow and without children. She had known Mrs. Marshall and her family some time, but was not on terms of inti macy with her. A poor Irishwoman, with whom the prisoner has been lodging, said, " Och, yer honner's wortship forgive her, she did it for the little dhrop of drink. Mr. Selfe—You are a very bad advocate my good woman, You have made, the case worse. This is a 7ery serious offence indeed. A tradesman cannot be on his guard against a thing of this kind. The prisoner has committed a most impudent fraud, in fact stolen two shirts. I convict her of larceny under the provisions of the Criminal Justice Act, and sentence her to three months' imprisonment and hard labour. MURDEROUS ASSAULT ON A WoxAN..—James Finn, a heavy morose-looking ruffian, about 33 years of age, was brought before Mr. Selfe charged with committing a savage assault on a young woman named Louisa Lausendoff, whose mouth was severely cut and swollen, and who ex hibited other marks of violence on her head, face, and arms. The parties have cohabited together for three years, and were living at the time the outrage took place at No. 62, Back Church lane, St. George-in-the-East. The woman, though maltreated in a savage manner by her paramour, was disinclined to give any evidence against him, and said she did not want to hurt him. She could not say whether he gave her a blow or not. On being closely pressed by the magistrate's questions, she admitted that when she was before the inspector at the station-house, she said the pri soner had beaten her and kicked her, but she was not cer tain about it now, She had a fit. Mr. Selfe—And so have I had a fit. Call the police constable. Robert Billings, 103 H, said—l was upon duty in Back Church-lane and heard cries of " Murder," and " Help." The woman was bleeding from the ears, nose, and mouth, and lying upon the pavement. She was almost dead. I saw him kick her, and when she got up he knocked her down. I said to him, "You rascal, what are you doing," and took him into custody. Two or three men came up and got him away from me, and thrashed him. I got him away from them and lodged him in the station-house. In answer to questions by Mr. Selfe, the constable said the woman had no power to resist the man at all. His heel was upon her face when he first saw them. Ho was the worse for liquor. She was sober. Mr. Selfe said a b utal outrage had been committed. It was not a question between the wretched woman and the prisoner, but one in which the public were concerned. He convicted the prisoner of the assault, and sentenced him to two months' imprisonment and hard labour. He did not care about the unwillingness of the woman to prosecute. He would not allow any woman to be ,knocked about in such a barbarous manner, as far as he was concerned„ with impunity. SHIPPING- -- THIS DAY.
