7HE, NAVY. The Meeanee, i3l, 2,591 tons, 400-horse power, attached to t l. 4 e first division of the Chatham steam reserve in the Medway, has been commissioned by Capt. George Wodehouse (1854), late of the screw steamer Russell, 6 0 , 200- horse power, employed on the coastguard service. The Meeanee is intended for service in the Mediterranean, and is to have a complement of 650 officers and men, including Royal Marines. The Hero, 89, 600 -horse power, Capt. Ryder, dis mantling at the yore, has been taken into the great basin for the purpose of having her masts taken out. Accc.rding to present arrangements the crew will be paid off to-morrow, when the ship will be place'd in the steam reserve. In accordance with orders received from the Admiralty, particular attention is to be paid by the officials at the various dockyards to the trial trips of all steamers fitting for commission, in order that the slightest defect in the working of the engines or madinnery may be detected and remedied before the vrzssel proceeds to sea. Directions have also been received at Chatham that under no cir- cumistrAnces is a ship to remain less than 24 — hours in harbour after her trial trip prior to proceeding on her voyage. The lighter Aid, E. Grundy, master, left Ply mouth on Tuesday with stores for Pembroke. Port Admiral Sir Hcaston Stewart, K.C.8., ac companied by Capt. Leopold Heath, of the gunnery ship Cambridge, went on Wednesday in the gun boat Redwin 4, where the-y from Hamoaze to Plymouth Sound, inspected the paddlewheel steam frigate Leopard, 18, Capt. C. T. Leckie, and examined her crew, This frigate has received her draught of marines, and has embarked supernumerary seamen for the squadron in the China seas. She left Ply mouth Sound on Thursday afternoon for China, calling at the Cape of Good Hope. The paialewheel steam sloop Virago, 6, Corn. mender William Hope Johnstone, from King ston, Monday, November 17, and Milford, Tues day, 18th, arrived in Plymouth Sound on Thursday morning. The Vir ago sa il ed from Plymouth on Nov. 3, with supernumeraries, and accompanied by the cutter Sylph. She left the supernumeraries at Mil ford and Kingston, landed stores at Kingston, and then proceeded to Greenock, where she discharged stores and l e f t th e Sylph. The Virago then pro ceeded to Liverpool, completed her discharge of !totes, and received supernumeraries from the Ma jestic, from the Ajax, at Kingston, and from the Bl enheim, at Milford. A naval court-martial assembled on Wednesday on board the Forthidable, 84, Capt. Luard, flagship of Vice-Admiral AV. J. Hope Johnstone, comman der in -chief at the Nore,and was occupied the whole of that, day and Thursday in the trial of Comman der W H. Anderson and the officers and crew of her Majesty's screw sloop Flying Fish, 6, 350-horse power, on a charge of having run that vessel aground on the New-town Gravel-bank on sth Nov. Capt Thompson, of the Cumberland, president. Mr. Knight, solicitor, Rochester, officiated as deputy judge advocate. After hearing the evidence of the officers of the V'tyln g Fish, and other witnesses exa mined, the n"ourt was of opinion that the following facts were established :—The Flying Fish passed Hurst Lights at 745 p.m. on Nov. sth. The weather vti afa then clear, but it soon became misty. The course steered after passing Hurst Lights appears to have been east, the speed about 61 knots, the tide flood, and running about 2 knots an hour. After passing Hurst Lights, when the Flying Fish could only have gone over the ground about 41 knots, and was therefore abreast Hampsted ledge, the loom of a point of land was seen on the starboard bow, and the course was altered to south-east, half east, under the impression the point seen was Egypt point, which was really five miles further on. Saturday, 820 p.m., the vessel grounded. The court was of opinion that Com. Anderson showed great want of Judgment in not diminishing the speed of the ship to less than O knots after losing sight of Hurst Lights, the weather iant being sufficiently clear to distin guish more than the loom of the land the ship was then passing ; and that he also showed great want of :judgment in not anchoring the falaip after passing Yarmouth rods, when the weather became too thick to see the lights or distinguish the points of land, as it does not appear from his sailing orders that there was any necessity for running the least risk. The Court was further of opinion that Lieut. Eaton, hav ing professed an intimate knowledge of both sides of the Solent, did incautiously volunteer an opinion that the land seen on the starboard bow, previous to tb e course being altered, was Egypt Point, and that this opinion materially assisted in forming an erro neous judgment on the part of the master; the Court was also of opinion that the master, Mr. Percy V. James, showed great want of judgment in not asking to have the speed of the ship reduced, or the ship herself anchored when the weather became thick ; and that he showed culpable negligence and want of ordinary precaution in not testing the distance run from Hurst Lights before altering the course to round the land supposed to be Egypt Point. It was held that no blame whatever attached to the officer of the watch, or to the other officers or crew of the Flying Fish, and they were therefore acquitted. Mr. Jame.l, Commander Anderson, and Lieut. Eaton were admonished to be more careful in future, and Mr. James was sentenced to forfeit one year of his seniority as a master. Before separating the Court pr eqs e d the opinion that Commander Anderson is in error in considering it unnecessary for the captain to consult the master previous to a pilot being en gaged, and that he has been in error in not enforc ing their Lordships' directions regarding the lieute nant's working the reckonings and taking obser vations. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty:—Lieut. Cuthbert It. Buckle, to the Excellent ; William B. Goldsmith, master, to the Lily ; John Lambert and John Horrocks, M.D., acting assist.-surgs., to the Victory, for Haslar Hospital ; John Buckler and A. Yule, M.D., acting assist.-surgs., to the Royal Adelaide, for Ply mouth Hospital ; and George Edward Hastings Deacon has been nominated to a naval cadetship. 711 E A.R.M. On Thursday Gen. Sir J. F. Burgoyne, G.C.8., attended by his aide-de-camp, and accompanied by Col. F. E. Chapman, C. 8., Deputy Adjt.-Gen., and Lieut.-Col. the Hon. H. F.

There is no disguising it—it is just that, pure I and simple, whatever the spirit of the leaders. It is precisely such a vote as in Parliament—which , under the theory of the British C o nstitution, is sovereign —is always succeeded by the resignation of the Ministry, from the Premier down. What shall be its effect here ? Under our Constitution it is the people who are sovereign. Surely their power is as legitimate as that of the British Parliament, and their vote of dissatisfaction ought to tell potently in some shape. How ? Not by the re signation or removal of the President. Our con stitutional system contemplates nothing of the kind. It prescribes fired periods of office. Though every loyal State were to set itself in opposition to him, the President, unless he should subject himself to positive impeachment, would be, and ought to be, none the less secure in his office to the last minute of his four years' term. The adoption of a different principle would introduce fatal disorder and confu sion. Not, necessarily, by the resignation or re moval of the Cabinet. The Cabinet, doubtless, might be better constituted ; but no such change, in itself, would inspire confidence. Our Presidents, it is well known, have greatly differed in respect to their disposition to be influenced by Cabinet consultations and decisions. Some were wont to submit im plicitly to the majority of their " constitutional advisers;" while others, though they might con suit, yet were very sure to follow their own inde pendent bent. It is understood that President Lincoln belongs rather to this latter class. If that be truly the case, the present Cabinet is, after all, in no great degree responsible for the slowness and inefficiency against which the people have protested so emphatically; and a reorganization of the Cabinet would do very little towards securing the remedy. Where, then, must we look ? If we cannot have another President for over two years to come, and if a change in the heads of the various departments would, at best, only reach minor evils, in what other way is it possible for this vote of the people to gain its object than through a change in the spirit and purpose of President Lincoln himself ? He alone has the remedy, and he is bound by the most solemn obligations that can rest upon a popular ruler to apply it. Whether he changes his men or not, he must change his policy. The people of the loyal states have as complete a right to such a change as the British Parliament had when it declared no further confidence in the Aberdeen Ministry, which so wretchedly misma naged the first stage of the Crimean war, Nay, they have twice as good a right, for their patience has been twice as sorely tried. Parliament endured 10 months, while our people have endured 20, In saying that President Lincoln must change his spirit and purpose, we of course recognise its difficulty. No man can easily tame on a character that belongs to him neither by nature nor by habit. The very qualities which have made Abraham Lincoln so well liked in private life—his trustful disposition, his kindheartedness, his concern for fair play, his pla cidity of temper—in a manner unfit him for the stein requirements of deadly war. Quick, sharp, sum mary dealings don't suit him at all. He is all the while haunted with the fear of doing some injustice, and is ever easy to accept explanations. The very first necessity of war is extreme rigour, and yet every impulse of our constitutional Commander-in- Chief has been to get rid of it. His moral earnest ness no man doubts. There is not a purer patriot in the land, and yet there is something beyond this which we miss—the high, sacred vehemence, in spired by the consciousness of infinite interests at stake, and infinite responsibilities. It would be a signal blessing to the country could Old Abe's pa triotism, sterling as it is, be fired with something of the old Jacksonian passion—something glowing, thrilling, electric—that should be a stimulus not only to every faculty of his own nature, but to that of every man within the reach of his words. "Yet it is useless to talk of this, for nature has denied to his temperament all such susceptibility. But it is within his power to brace up his will ; for if there is any thing in a man over which he has a control, it is his will, It is just this which the people have demanded of Mr. Lincoln, and he is bound to do it, go against the grain though it may. We must have a fixed, steadfast, immovable determination that henceforth all men and all things shall bend to the one sole object of making the speediest con quest of this rebellion. That determination is cer tainly within the power of Abraham Lincoln. The people have demanded it, and it is his business to acquire it and maintain it. There need be no apprehension that the people will not treat this change of spirit justly and liberally when it appears. Once assured that the President will come up to the inflexible resolve to make short work of the rebels they would give him their unlimited trust. He would at once acquire a moral power with them be fore which all of their predilections for this or that General, or for this or that line of procedure, would be as nothing. they would have no favourite, they would not give up if deemed necessary, nor any plan they would not forego. Knowing that the right spirit ruled, they would be slow to mark errors, and even hard reverses they would hear with composure, secure of final triumph. President Lin coln, notwithstanding the want of confidence just declared, has still but to will it to be master of the situation. The people know his honesty. They simply ask that his utmost capacities shall be brought to bear to make an end of the indecision, and procrastination, and general feebleness which, from the beginning thus far, have marked military operations, for which he is ultimately responsible. Let him boldly and thoroughly act up to this just responsibility. The people have enjoined that. They seek nothing more ; they will take nothing less.-IVeto York limes. THE DALSTON CHILD MURDER, Yesterday morning Mr. John Humphreys, one of the Middlesex coroners, concluded, at the Adam and Eve Tavern, Lower Homerton, the investiga tion into the circumstances of the alleged murder of the illegitimate child of Salome Newman, a domestic servant in the employ of a widow lady residing at No. 14, Navarino•road, Dalaton. Salome Newman, the young woman in question, was brought up before the court under a warrant from the Secretary of State. She wept bitterly during the proceedings. Mr. Shorter, clerk to the vestry, appeared for the prosecution ; and Mr. Heritage attended for the prisoner. The evidence was read over in presence of the accused; and it appeared that she gave birth to the child in the nursery about six weeks ago. A doctor was called in, to whom she stoutly denied the fact, but the body of the child was found five days after : - wards concealed in a chimney of the pri soner s room, and wrapped in one of her aprons. Dr. Gant, of the Royal Free Hospital, said , that the child had been born alive, and that there was a strong staylace tied twice round the neck, which it penetrated deeply, and that death had been pro duced by hanging. The girl Newman, who is said to be only 17 years of age, denies that she was ever in the family way, but admits that she had been seduced by a lodger in a former place where she was employed. without e li c iting Heritage cross-examined the witnesses, but eliciting anything material. after whi c h verdict o f WlTheCoronerw then summed up with great care, i t l h fu e l jury Murderdeliberated,against Salomeand Newman.a The Corone r then made o u t hi s warrant f or the con,mittal of the accused for trial at t h e ensu i ng sessions of the Cent ral Criminal C ourt. was very f ee bl e, was removed fro T m he t hpericsoounretrinwah c ab . of M.arioe h as awar d ed four The Freneh Ministe r second-class gold medals, five first-class and 54 second , class silver ditto, and twenty-Dine official certificates for different acts of courage and devotedn ess i n saving lives from drowning in cases of shipwreck and otherwim. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 22, 1862. - DR. GU7HRIE ON 211 E AMERICAN WAR AND THE DISTRESS. At the meeting held a few days ago in Edinburgh, on behalf of the Lancashire distress, Dr. Guthrie, who was one of the speakers, said in the course of his remarks I cannot enter into politics on this occasion any more than the other speakers, but I may mention that I happened to see a letter from one who is of the greatest authority connected with America, and in that letter he said he had no hope of seeing a settlement of the American war with anything less than a complete wreck of the whole republic. I was sorry, indeed, to hear of this, and to thinit of the suffering which it must create in America as well as in this country. But whether it be or not we need not delude ourselves with the idea that this suffering will be soon at an end. (Hear.) We must make up our minds to have a long-continued and sustained effort. (Cheers.) I have my own opinion, and others may differ from me; but I say that for myself I am will ing, by public tax or voluntary contribution, to continue to the utmost of my power, by means of the sternest self-deni&, to maintain these Lanca shire weavers, manufacturers, and spinners, until we raise cotton enough in our own colonies—(cheers) — and never take another bale wet with the tears and red with the blood of the poor slave. (Great cheer ing.) We should have come to such a resolution as this. We are not without sin. (Cheers.) I say we are not without sin against our brother. We need not throw the blame of slavery on America, as if it belonged to it alone. We have in Africa, India, and Australia, abundance of soil to raise cotton for our own necessities—for the necessities of all Europe. We have not done as we should have done. We have gone and bought cotton red with the blood of our fellow-creatures while we might have raised it ourselves in our own possessions, and laid slavery in the dust long before now. lam thankful, and we should be thankful, that we are not suffering as others are, but God is rebuking us for that sin. As was shown by Mr. M‘Laren and the other gentlemen who have spoken, those Lancashire people are not the guilty parties, whoever they may be, and let the parties who are guilty pay the penalty, as they incurred the sin. (Cheers.) I say God is rebuking us in this matter, and I be lieve that months will pass when it may be said His hand is stretched out still. May we learn a lesson from this judgment ; may we be thankful that we are not suffering as America is suffering ; may we prove our gratitude to God not by empty words, but by noble deeds. (Cheers.) Whether America, like the eagle on her star-spangled banner, casting off slavery, shall renew her youth, is in the future. I say, may she do so. (Cheers.) I say, though no man on this platform has been so abused by American writers as I have been, because I have told the truth—no man in Edinburgh has been more abused—nevertheless, I say in the sin cerity and fervency of my heart, may she cast off that poisonous garment which is around her, and renew her youth and strength as it was in days of old. (Cheers.) May she learn a lesson from the rebuke which God is giving her—may she learn, from the lakes to the Gulf of Mexico, from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean, as sounding in her ears, the voice that sounded in the ears of the Egyptians. Her fields are devastated, the cry of sorrow arises from her mighty cities and forest homesteads ; her rivers are changed into blood, and there is hardly a house in which there is not one dead. Plague comes after plague, and the voice in these plagues is the voice of old, Let my people go.'" (Cheers.) WILLS AND BEQUESTS. (From the Illustrated London .Neuts.) The will of the Hon. Mrs. Lamb, sister-in-law of Lady Palmerston and the late Lord Melbourne, has been proved in London. This lady had but a small amount at her own disposal, which she has charged with annuities, having previously settled the bulk of her property on her nephew, Col. Spencer Clif- ford, at his marriage. The will of Sir Geo. Houlton, Knight, of Farley Castle, Somerset, Ensign of her Majesty's Body Guard, has last been proved in the London Court by Lady Houlton, the relict and sole executrix, to whom Sir George has left the whole of his property real and personal and of every description, for her' own sole use absolutely. Sir George was formerly Captain in the 43d Foot, and had served with dis tinction in the Peninsula and in America, and was in his 71st year. The will bears date Feb. 3,1362. The will of Wm. Barker, Esq., formerly of Mark lane, and Manor-street, Chelsea, but ]ate of Barnes green, Surrey, was proved in London, on the 27th ult., by Thos. M. Bridge, Esq., of Layton House, Putney, the sole executor and trustee. The per ' sonalty was sworn under £20,000. The will was executed in 1860, and is of more than ordinary length, owing to the number of bequests and the directions given therein. The principal legatees are his executor and his (the testator's) cousins, Alex. Bassett, of Cardiff, surveyor, and Robt. G. Bassett, of Southampton, solicitor. To each of these three parties he leaves a freehold estate and a legacy of £4,000, appointing his executor also residuary lega tee of his entirrt property. There are legacies to his friends, godchildren, and others varying in amount ; many charitable bequests, and legacies to all his domestics. To one female servant who has been in the family many years, a legacy of £lOO and an annuity of £52, and to another an annuity of £2O. The testator also leaves £lOO to be added to a sum of £5OO already invested by him for the support of a school at Ludgershall, Bucks, in union with the National Society for the Edu cation of the Children of the Farming and Li bouring Poor of that parish ; and the interest of £5OO to be expended in keeping in repair his family tomb, and any remainder to be given to the poor of Wimbledo.). The following 12 charitable institutions have legacies, viz.—The Brompton Consumption Hospital, £2OO ; the Society for Pro moting Christian Knowledge, Society for the Pro pagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, Incorpo rated Society for Building and Enlarging Churches and Chapels, National Society for the Education of Poor Children in the Principles of the Church of England, and King's College Hospital, each £lOO ; Chelsea, Brompton, and Belgrave Dispensaries, £5O each ; and small bequests to the National and Infant Schools, Chelsea. GALLANT STRUGGLE WITH A BURGLAR.—On the night of Sunday last, between 12 and 1 o'clock, Mr. Cob bold of Dedham, hearing a noise in his house, got out of bed and went downstairs with a candle. He looked into several of the rooms and found all safe, but on opening the drawing-room door he saw a man, who immediately gave a shout, and jumped out of the window, which was open. Mr. Cobbold, although he had nothing on but his dressing-gown and slippers, followed the man, and after a smart chase about the garden succeeded in eatching hold of him, when a severe struggle took place. Mr. Cobbold got the burglar down on the ground, and while there he tried to scratch Mr. Cobbold'a face, but accidentally got his fingers into Mr. fromt s i r took this, Cobbold, Cobbold's m ou th , whereupon Mr. Cobbold at once bi t h i s thumb, and th en struck him a violent blow on the head.

The borough police were also informed of the robberies by the son of Mrs. Hewitt, and Head-constable Downs despatched Sergeant Barton and Police-constable Wass to make every possible inquiry about the town. In consequence of that, about six o'clock in the evening, Mr. Nightingale, of Long Wyre-street, informed the police-officers that he had bought a pair of trowsers answering the description of those stolen from Mrs Hewitt's, and also described the man of whom he purchased them. Acting upon that information, the officers went in pursuit, and thinking he might possibly go away by train, searched every publichouse on North-hill and in North street, and at the Albert Inn Sergeant Barton discovered g s aiind the h is n t a a m p was William Simpson, but gave no address.

This week a whole family in York have narrowly escaped death by poison, and this has been attended by the mysterious fact that on two previous oc casions recently they had similar narrow escapes, though not the slightest clue has existed to enable them to trace the hand which is the cause of the abominable act. It appears that at the latter end of June last, Mr. Cooke, a well-known and celebrated astronomical instrument maker, &c., of Bishophill, York, with his wife, his three sons—Frederick, Thomas, acid Alfred,—his daughter, and Mrs. Barbe, a visitor, sat down to dinner as usual, and shortly after they were all taken ill, being attacked with severe sick.. ness and vomiting, During dinner some parsley sauce had been used, and it was conjectured that " Fools' Parsley," a deadly poison, might have got into the sauce by mistake for the proper kind. The supposition, however, proved groundless, and the cause of the illness of the family remained shrouded in mystery. Mr. Reed and Mr. Proctor, surgeons, were called in, and from the symptoms which their patients manifested it was clear that they had been poisoned. By the prompt administration of the .usual remedies the effects of the poison were coun teracted, and on the following day the family were nearly restored to health. After dinner on the following Thursday, however, the scene of Tuesdey was repeated, the family being I again attacked as before, es well as the cook. The greatest alarm was felt, and the medical men were again sent for. It being suspected that the salt in the house wasmixed with some deleterious substance, Mr. Proctor (surgeon) subjected it to analysis, and found that about 30 per cent was arsenic. Similar poison was discovered in some flour, but how the admixture took place was a complete mystery. The circumstances were reported to the police, and a searching inquiry was made, in order, if possible, to ascertain by what means the arsenic was mixed with the salt and flour, and where the poison had been obtained. There was no reason for believing that the poison had been mixed accidentally, nor yet was Mr. Cooke aware of any ill-feeling existing against him on the part of any one in his establishment; and though the inquiry was carried on for some time, the cause of the mysterious circumstances could not be ascertained. Thus the matter rested, and had almost been for gotten until Wednesday last, when after dinner the family, consisting of Mr. Cooke's daughter, three sons, and two maid servants (Mr. and Mrs. Cooke being at the time absent in London), were again attacked with symptoms similar to those displayed on the two occasions just referred to. All these persons became sick, and were subject to violent fits of vomiting, which con tinued with the bulk of them until after midnight, when, from the assiduous attention of Mr. Reed, surgeon, they gradually recovered. The suspicious circumstance of the two previous poisonings of course led the family to take imme diate measures to have the various articles in the house, such as flour, &c., analysed, and for this pur pose Mr. Green, analytical chemist for Messrs. But terfield and Clark, of York, was called. This gen • tleman, in analysing the flour from which a portion of the dinner of the family had been prepared, dis covered that it contained a large proportion of tar tarised antimony, and hegave it as his opinion that this was the cause of the symptoms which the family had exhibited on the previous day. Since the previous poisonings, the only alteration in the family has been the discharge of one of the female servants ; whilst on the present occasion both the servants have been subject to the same symptoms as the rest of the family, though one of them consi derably more severely than the other. Not the slightest clue at present exists as to the cause of, or the persons who have made, the attempt upon the lives of the family ; but another investigation is be ing instituted, which it is to be hoped will solve the mystery. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Nov. 21. (Before Mr. Bodkin, Assistant Judge.) William Crane, an attendant at Colney Hatch Lunatic Asylum, was indicted for unlawfully abus ing and illtreating Francis Carter, a pauper luna tic, confined in that asylum. The defendant was committed by the visiting justices of Colney Hatch Asylum, and he was pro secuted by Mr. Allen, the county solicitor on this charge. Mr. Poland prosecuted ; Mr. Sleigh appeared for the defendant. Samuel Rawson said—l reside at the County Lunatic Asylum at Colney Hatch, and am one of the head attendants there of the patients. On the afternoon of theZtlOth inst. I visited No. 6 ward of the asylum in the course of my duty, and I st.w William Crane, one of the attendants, violently as vaulting a patient named Carter. In my presence he took up the patient by the arm and leg, and threw him on the floor and knelt on him. He again picked him up in the same way, dashed him down again on the floor and knelt on him. I called out to him, and he left off the attack, and I said I should report him immediately, to which Crane replied, " You can do as you like." William Gann was in charge of the ward. I was standing in the ward about two minutes before I was observed. I heard a sound as of some one falling, which made me has ten to the ward. I went up to the patient, when he said to me, " I am glad you are come ; you are my friend ; this brute,' pointing to Crane, " has just been throwing me down ;" and he put his hand to his side. Crane was then within two feet of me, and The patient spoke loudly Cross-examined by Mr. Sleigh—The other at the en p o a u ti g e h nt fo was r c rane close to b h y e. _ ar at tendants present at the time were Watson and Gann. Carter had only been an inmate since October last, and his complaint was a mild form of mania. He would throw himself about, but he was not known to strike a blow. Witnesa made the com plaint to Mr. Ford, the inspector, and Crane did not deny the charge, but justified himself by saying that the patient attacked him. He had, as a con scientious man, recommended Crane to the asylum. Not one word of unpleasantnes s had taken place between him and Crane in his life. William Ginn said h e wa s an attendant at Colney n Asylum,i and on th e 10 t h o f Novem bebringing pa ti en t s i n t o N o. sward Hatc h, rues who Lunatic coming in fr om t h e a i r i ng cour t. were engaged He saw Crane with the patients, and Rawson, who was standing in a recess. Witness was going across the gallery, and, heari n g so mething fall, he turned round and asked what was the matter. He then saw Crane ~Ti Crane picking up the patient Carter. Rawson said, "That is the second tim e i n my presence he has done t hat." He did not know how Carter got on the ground. Cross- examined —Carter was sometimes annoying in the morning time, and he saw him strike a pa tient that morning named Young. Crane was placed specially over Carter. It was the habit when a patient was likely to commit mischief, to place an attendant specially over him. It was not usual to place a special attendant over a patient unless there was an apprehension of violence. Carter was quiet at times, and at other times he annoyed other pa tients. When he saw Crane pick up Carter he made no complaint of Carter's violence. Crane was an ordinary attendant, but Rawson was the head attendant. Mark Watson, another attendant, said, on the 1 afternoon of the 10th inst. he was in ward No. 5, in the recess. He saw a patient named Carter lying on the floor, and he saw an attendant pick him up. He heard a noise, but saw no violence. He saw Mr. Raweon, and he said to Crane, " This is the second time you have done this in my presence," and to this he heard Crane make no reply. He saw Crane picking up the patient Carter in a friendly manner. John Ford, inspector of one of the male wards of Colney Hatch Asylum, said, on the 10th of Novem ber Rawson made a report to him. He went to No. 5 ward, where he found the defendant Crane. Rawson made an accusation against Crane of dash ing down a patient named Carter, and a lso kneelin g upon him. Crane denied that he had knelt upon him, and sought to justify himself by saying that Carter had attacked him. Mr. William Castle Dyne Tucker said he was an M.D., and one of the assistant medical officers in Colney Hatch Lunatic Asylum. He knew a patient named Carter, who was suffering from an attack of acute mania, having been recently admitted. IL was 19 years of age, and was then in an apartment of that court. He thought he might safely . be brought into the cou r t f or the jury to see him. (The patient was here brought in, and appeared to be a young man of mild demeanour. He was under the care of a special attendant.) On November 11 he examined Carter , and on his neck found two scratches, recently d one , an d w hi c h appeared to have been done by th e fi nger - na il. He also found a discolouration on the back, but that might have been the result of natural causes. He looked at his chest, but found no bruises there. If Carter had been thrown down an d k nelt on h e mus t have found bruises. He had seen hi m every d ay f r om the time he had been in th e asy l um. A l t h oug h he had been maniacal aria raving he never saw him use violence. He used to indul ge in sh ou ti n g, laughing, singing, swearing, and danci ng. Cross was notHe aware that C arter had been the padded room, as placed in seclusions were not rep or t e d to him. They were o nl y re ported to the medi ca l off i cer. In answer to th e A ss i stan t•judge, the witness said he went throu g h t h e war d s every day, but a man might have bee n i n t h e padded room for an hour or two between his visits. They kept patients in the padded room no longer than while the ex citement lasted. That excitement generally sub sided in an hour or two. 'Pais patient was not epi leptic. He was irritating and annoying. Mr. Poland put in the certificate under which Carter was received as a patient into the asylum, and it was stated that he was in the habit of shout ing, laughing, swearing, and threatening to injure people. This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. SLEIGII having addressed the jury for the defendant, they retired to consider their verdict, and on their return delivered a verdict of not guilty. -- gone on the wrong side of a post was overruled, and the race decided according as the horses passed the post.
