Th e PROSPECTUS. paramount importance and eminently remunerative c haracter of works of irrigation in India have become, by Eglig experience and well-a scer tained results, established , act s. • tit T he G overnmen t o f M a d ras , i n May last, in a report to !ate C our t o f Di rec t ors o f th e East India Company, after set ting forth in the strongest language their beneficial eff ects and public utility, certified that "the returns from mugation works are always considerable, and often im teens ~, e , and the truth of this statement is placed beyond t ILYAcialtrikarns made to Parliament in 1853. y these it appears that - the whole of the then existing works in the Madras Presidency (many of which were rich out of repair, and.to a great extent useless) realised, , a cing a period of 14 years, an average net profit of 53 per 4 1 t , upon, the cost of their construction and maintenance, ilst the 13 largest yielded during the same term a like efit of more than 120 per cent. Those works, also, which t:.13 : been since undertaken but not yet comple ted, viz., on Oodavery and Kistnah rivers, have already produced rge returns, which will shortly, it is stated, exceed 100 Per cent. go vernment works of this nature have been exec uted b y the ° .vernment only. But from the want of funds and a tabl e and trained agency comparatively lit tle has been ieff ected, and it has now become impossible, at least for many trill to come, to provide others out of the ordinary revenue. lich therefore remains to be done in this respe ct to meet the i ositive and immediate requirements of the country; in 1 : , 411 , t has been for many years past repeatedly recorded members of the Legislative Council, by Government issioners, by civil and militaryengineers, and by many others of high character and intelligence, that a vast num -13s-' of new works which will yield returns equal to what has been above stated are imperatively required within the ter ritories above named, and that in the Madras Presidency alonewa many millions of acres of good land are now lying f Ste , requiring only irrigation to render them eminently more and profitable, whilstimmense volumes of water (and ' ll e_re than sufficient for the purposes required) flow by ne c'ected to the sea. Next to irrigation works, both in importance and in their t q a tnnerative character, are Cheap means of transit. Their extension is also as largely and urgently called for ; and it is a fortuitous circumstance that in India these two essentiai ei cinents of prosperity may be secured by one operation, for Workstrifling of irrigation can in most cases be constructed at a by additional expense, in the shape of canals, navigable than steamboats, the cost of carriage whereon will be far less t hought on common roads, and much lower than anything yet ` l4o „ s ught of for railways. 1.0 aid the Government in supplying these fundamental 11" 4 18 thioughout the several districts enu merated at.the 241 of this prospectus is the object of this company, and it 'aY with confidence be asserted that no enterprise - of the present day, however lucrative and useful, will be favour able comparison with such an undertaking. • The t rac t o f coun t r y proposed to be, in the first in thuice,thui affected contains 400,000 square miles, uponthe Whole cultivable portions whereof cotton, both indigenous end exotic, can be successfully grown, whilst the soil of 4 e?itensive districts is pre-eminently qualified for its produc nil. Within this domain there is also a quiet, orderly, and Nustrious population of upwards of 53,000,000, ready and indeed anxious to cultivate the land immediately they are enabled by irrigation to do so. One most important result which will flow from the de- Velopment of the scheme here described will be the opening up, and rendering cheaply accessible to the coast, an area Or cotton-growing land many times larger than the whole Of the gantations of America, from whence four-fifths of °Ur present supply is procured, so that if only a small por tion of the land thus affected is employed in the cultivation of cotton, England will be entirely relieved from her pre sent degrading dependence upon slave labour for its pro duction. Further, the territories so improved will be enabled to compete successfully with other countries in the Production and exportation of grain and seeds of all kinds, sugar, tobacco, and many other staple article s of commerce so valuable to Great Britain. The formation and proposed objects of this company were first notified to the late Court of Directors of the East India Company and to the Board of C o ntrol in February, 18 - 5 7, from which time negotiations of a comprehensive character were carried on with those authorities, and con tinued with the Secretary of State and Council for India. Pending these negotiations, the directors refrained from r aising through the public any portion of t he intended capital, but being firmly convinced of the sound and profit able nature of theirundertaking, and of the ultimate success of their,efforts, they proceeded upon their own responsi bility t o procure the requisite Act of Incorporatiolg and to adopt all other proCeedings necessary to save delay, and to establish this company upon a firm and sure basis. With this view they laid before the Court of Directors particulars of two highly promising and important p ro j ects in the Pre sidency of Madras as first portions of the scheme to be car lied out, which projects are now under consideration by t h e Local Government. The directors are enabled to state that they have at length. met with the desired support, and that this court is now effectually established, and its scheme fully recognised by the Home Government of India, who, fully admitting the great and lasting advantages to be obtained by attracting private enterprise and English capital to werks of public utility in that country, have conceded libe ral and substantial terms of support to this the first attempt of that nature including in such terms a p er p etual guaran teelff minin;ftth interest of 5 per cent. per annum on the firs issue of capital to the amount of £1,000,000 as paid into the Indian Treasury, all surplus profits being divisible • equally between the Government and the Company, which arrangement is to be subject to determination on l y u p on the Secretary of State for India in Council giving notice, within six months after the expiration of each period of 25 Years from the commencement of the present arrange - tent, of an intention to purchase the whole of the works then constructed at a sum equal to an average of the market Price at which the shares of this Company shall haveheen selling in London during the three preceding years. In addition to the works before referred to and proposed for construction in Madras, the directors have su bmitted to Lord Stanley in Council other and no less valuable projects, and his lordship has referred particulars thereof to the Su preme Government of India for investigation and report. All future issue of shares will be distributed pro rata amongst the then existing shareholee Forms of applications for shares may now be had on application at the Company's Offices, 27, Cannon-street, London, E.C. ,• of the bankers, Messrs. Ransom , Bouverie, and Co., 1, Pall-Mall East; and of the solicitor, don John Mackrell, E. 34, Cannon-street West, E.C., L?n but no application will be considered unless a deposit of £1 on each share applied for is previously made to Messrs. Ransom, Bouverie and Co., bankers of the com p any. The deposit will be returned if the application is not acceded to. Extract from Minutes of Consultation transmitted by the Government of Madras, on the 15th May, 1858, to the late Court of Directors of the East India Company : The Government express their unanimous, strong, and earnest advocacy that all irrigation works which, on a com prehensive view of the wants of the country, may be deemed necessary to develop its undoubtedly great resources, be commenced at once boldly and on a large scale, be pressed forward throughout all times and under all circumstances, and be looked on, and be practically treated, as in fact they , really are, as the most economica l, because the most pro fitable, undertakings in which the Gov ernment could pos sibly engage. It is needless now again to bring forward the innumerable instances in which money has in the Pre sidency been most advantageously invested in irrigation works. The proceedings of have, in this re spect, been only too desultory and vacillating, and it is confidently asserted that India could be ; placed in a Position to pay all her own expenses, and' gradually dis charge her debt far more readily and speedily by a judicious expenditure than by any scheme of retrenchment or reduc tion.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—Dec. 16. COURT OP PROBATE AND DIVORCE. Before the Judge Ordinary and a Special Jury.) CHERRY V. CHERRY. Mr. Deane, Q.C., Mr. Forsyth, Q.C., and Mr. Maude were counsel for the petitioner, the Rev. Henry Curtis Cherry, who prayed for a restitution of conjugal rights ; Mr. Iluddleston, Q.C., 1)r. Robertson, and Mr. Coleridge for the respondent, who alleged that she had not absented herself from her husband withnnt lawful ouNe, and that he had treated her with cruelty. The case for the respondent having been con cluded yesterday, the case of Mr. Cherry was now laid before the court. It was contended on his behalf that the differences between himself and wife, although they no doubt proved a certain incompatibility of temper, were not sufficient ground. for a separation, and that the charges of Mrs. Cherry were vague and exaggerated. Several witnesses were examined in support of Mr. Cherry's statement, but before the case was clOsed, The jury interposed and said it was useless to give his lordship any further trouble, as they were satisfied that Mr. _Cherry had not been guilty of cruelty to his wife, and that she might go back and live with him with perfect safety. Sir C. Cresswell expressed his entire concur rence in that view. He had come to the same eon• elusion last night. Verdict for the petitioner. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN CIRCUIT—YonK, Dec. 15. (Before Mr. Baron Watson.) Charles Lister, 31, was indicted for administer. ing:to Catherine Hankey Ellis, a certain noxious drug with intent to procure abortion. Mr. Shaw: prosecuted, and Mr. Blanshard de fended, the prisoner. The prosccutrix, C. H. Ellis, who, owing to weakness, was provided with a chair, stated in evi dence that she was the daughter of a butcher in Dewsbury, was about 25 years old, and with her sisters carried on the business of milliners at her father's house. The prisoner, a neighbouring chemist and druggist, had paid his addresses to her for three or four years with the consent of the prose cutrix's parents before Christmas, 1857, about which time an improper intercourse first took place between her and the prisoner, which continued till about May following. Somewhere about the latter end of March, 1857, feeling unwell, she consulted Dr. Hinchliffe, a practitioner at Dewsbury. As she passed the prisoner's shop she told him where she had been, and that the doctor had said she was in the family way. She then said, " Prisoner told me to take no notice of what the doctor had said, who knew nothing. I had only a little cold, and he would bring me something to set me all right." The following night he brought a small bottle of liquid which I was to take off at once, which I did. It only relaxed me a little. A day or two after he brought me another bottle, to be taken as before. It made me vomit. The prisoner called afterwards and asked if I had taken it and inquired about the effect. I told him. He said he expected it would make me skit He came again and saw me in the workroom, and gave me a bottle of liquid and some powders. The bottle was to be taken in two doses, and the powder in the middle of the following Sunday when my sisters were at church. I did not take it, however, then, but on the Thursday morning, On the Thursday night I was taken ill. I was stiff, sickly, and vomited severely. I continued ill from the effects of the dose till the middle of the next day. Prisoner came to see me when I told him how ill I had been. He said, you needn't call in a doctor, you'll be better. Before I took the medicine he said that if was I poorly I had no need to call in a doctor, because I should be all right. Afterwards, about the beginning of May or at the end of April, he came into our workroom, and I went out with him into the passage, thinking he had something for me. Here he gave me a bottle of liquid and three powders. The liquid 1 was to take in one dose, and the powders every half-hour. I took one of the powders and a little of the liquid, which made me very ill, and I could not take any more. I tried a second powder, but could not take it, and was sickly and shivering. One day in June the prisoner asked me to go with him to Calms wood, near Dewsbury. I went. When there be gave me three glasses of a bottle of liquid which he took out there. He then took sly hand and said, "Let's have a run down the field; it'll take the sick ness off." I ran down the field as well as I could. I felt sick, and told the prisoner so. I kept the me dicine on my stomach for about three hours. I told prisoner in the yard of our house, " I shall be ob liged to vomit." He said, " Yes, you will, I have given you as much as would make 20 women miscarry." I said, " Then it is as Dr. Hinchcliffe told me. lam in the family way ?" I wouldn't take any more at his hands. He then left me. I locked up all the medicine which he had last given me, and which I had not taken. I locked it up in my box in my bedroom, keeping the key. A day or two afterwards he called at our house. I spoke to him at our room door, close by the pas sage. He asked me, if I had any of the medicine left, to give it him back. I said I could not get it, as my sister was in the room. He said if I told what he had given me it would transport him. The next day at dinner my father asked me for the key of my box. I gave it him. He went upstairs, and came down with the bottles and paper of powder which the prisoner had given me. I was confined of a full-groWn child on the 4th of Nov. 1857, and have ever since been in bad health. I was a strong healthy girl before I took the medicines the pri soner gave me. On cross-examination this witness said, one one occasion, when the prisoner gave her the medi cines, she complained of not feeling well, and thought she had a cold, and he said the medicines would cure her cold. When he told her he had given sufficient medicine to make 20 women mis carry it was the first time she was aware he had given her medicine to procure a miscarriage. They were perfectly good friends to that time. The pri soner afterwards left Dewsbury. William Ellis, the father of the prosecutrix, stated that in consequence of something he had heard his daughter say to the prisoner he got the key of her box, and took from it some bottles and powders, which he delivered to Dr. Hinchliffe, who examined them in his presence, and he after wards gave them to the police superintendent. The prosecutor's sister was called, who corrobo rated her evidence. Dr. Hinchliffe proved that he was the medical attendant of the family, and was consulted by the prosecutrix in the spring of 1857.. In July the prosecutrix's father brought him some bottles and powders, which he examined. In one of the bottles he found oil of savin mixed with spirits of wine ; another bottle contained black draught. The pow ders were ergot of rye. The effect of oil of savin on pregnant women was to produce inflammation of the stomach, bowels, and kidneys, and in conse quence produced purging, and perhaps miscarriage. It was popularly believed to cause miscarriage. Ergot of rye often caused vomiting, and would not stay on the stomach, andwasusedto expedite labour. He did not think ergot of rye would produce any effect on a pregnant woman unless she was already in labour. It would increasd the effect of savin. Savin in the latter months of gestation would have a tendency to produce miscarriage. It had no specific effect on the uterus. Five or siz drops of THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 17, 1858.

The following relates to the question as to the mail service to be performed from Australia, pend ing the commencement on that side of the arrange ments under the new contract with the Peninsular and Oriental Mail Company : " London, Dec. 16. " Sii,—By letters from Sydney, received yester day, it appears that the agent of the Royal West India Mail Company had advertised in the news papers that the provisional postal service would terminate with the despatch of the Emeu with the November mails. " It was distinctly understood here that Govern ment had arranged with the Royal West India Mail Company to convey the mails from Sydney up to February next, and that the _Peninsular and Oriental Steam Company would commence from that time. " It. is of the greatest importance to all connected with Australia to ascertain correctly whether the months of December and January are to be passed over without a steamer being despatched via Suez, and perhaps the Royal West India Mail Company will state through your columns, whether any arrangements have been made to con tinue the service. The Emeu will be due here on filo 3d of January, and the first steamer under the new contract will not be due till April; so that we shall be three months without letters.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, " J. W. K." The reply to this is, that the temporary arrange ment made with.her Majesty's Government for the conveyance of the Australian' mails was for six months only, and that notice to that effect was ac cordingly given to Mr. Wetton, the agent of the Royal Mail Company in the - colony. Subsequently, however, the temporary arrangement was extended (a circumstance of which Mr. - Wetton had not re ceived information at the date of his advertisement), so that the mails will be despatched each month by - thilloyal , Mail - Company -.bock-from England and Sydney until the time arrives for.the service to be performed by the Peninsular and Oriental Com pany under their contract.

It has been a subject of wonder, and has puzzled many a brain to explain how this has been brought about. Yet when we are acquainted with a few facts concerning the food, our wonder will cease. A few days since, a gentleman wrote, stating that he had a horse which was a " perfect bag of bones." He tried all kinds of things to get the animal into condition, but in vain. He then bought some a Thorley's food; and he says the effect was wenderiul. The horse rapidly grew fat, and-in the course of a few.weeks had gained no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agri cultural shows it Birmingham, Cardiff, tze., the animals which carried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thor ley's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we are force:l to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely from its own intrinsic merits, and the great demand for it can proceed alone ftom the good opinion and testimony of those who have tried it. All parties interested in horses and cattle will do well to apply to 77, Newgate-street, London, for a pamphlet which is sent post-free.

Lord Elgin has accustomed us to a sameness of success. Link by link the chain of policy unwinds in regular movement. If he would startle our home,public, he must commit some egregious mis take or suffer some notable check. The newly arrived mail brings only the usual intelligence of progress. After the conclusion of the Treaty of Jeddo Lord Elgin returned to Shanghai to meet the Commissioners who were to come thither to settle the details of the Treaty. When the usual delays had occurred, and after the usual attempts to change the:place of negotiation, the Commissioners arrived; and we are told their demeanour has been such as to confirm the belief that the Court of Pekin is resolved to carry out all the provisions of the Treaty with entire good faith. Mr. Oliphant, who went out as Lord Elgin's Private Secretary, had been appointed Acting Secretary to the Em bassy during the absence of Mr. Bruce, who came home with the Treaty, and is now accredited as Ambassador to Pekin. Mr. Wade, than whom there is no more eminent Chinese scholar or zealous public servant, had been associated with Mr. Oli phant as a commissioner for the revision of the tariff, and Mr. Lay, whose services during the nego tiations in the Peiho were so conspicuously men tioned, and who, holding the office of Inspector of Customs under the Chinese Government at Shanghai, had a special knowledge of these matters, acts as interpreter and amicus emits between the two sets of Commissioners. These parties have now been for some time holding conference within the walls of the Chinese city of Shanghai, and we are informed that the progress already made is such as to promise an early and most satisfactory termi- nation of their labours. There is every reason to anticipate that the vexed question of the opium trade will be settled upon a basis which shall pre- vent its becoming the cause of any future difficulties In fact, this has long ceased to be looked up3n in China from the European point of view. It has for sovbral years been an object of revenue, and the only debate between the Commissioners has been as to the amount of duty to be fixed. Other vexatious and inefficient prohibitions have also been given up : and it is probable that the exportation of coined copper and the re-exportation of rice will be legalised upon equitable terms. The settlement of the transit duties is proceeding with a desire on both sides to adjust the terms fairly, and to fix such regulations as may most effectually carry out the common object of preventing any future dis pute. There has hitherto been no suggestion on the part of the Chinese Commissioners to reopen the provisions of the Tien-sin Treaty, or to verify any of those lugubrious vaticinations which have so constantly come to us from Hong Kong. In estimating the relative importance of the various voices which reach us from China we must recollect the conflicting character of the interests that exist there. Canton is a port to which all the foreign trade of a nation numbering one third of the human race has been most unnaturally forced, and Hong Kong has grown into whatever import ance it may at present possess from its proximity to that single privileged port. As a British pos session it must always retain a certain respect in our eyes, and, however little profitable it may some day become, the English interests there are too valuable to allow us to think lightly of abandoning it. But it is an undoubted fact that the policy of civilisation is inimical to the importance of that insalubrious rock. When the trade of China shall fall into its natural channels, and each particular article shall find its nearest and its cheapest point of export, Canton must take very inferior rank as a commercial city, and Hong Kong—will find its chief recommendation in beino• a British island in the China Seas. The great IN arerhighways through China, where no mountain ranges interpose to the free transit of bulky goods, are up further north. Already Shanghai has sprung up like the seed stalk of a blossoming aloe ; the northern port to be opened in Mantchouria will be scarcely less rapid in its de velopment; we might as well attempt to dam up the mouth of the Yang-tse-Kiang as to check the course of a commerce that has been allowed toflow. We might as rationally rebuild Tadmor, and re-establish the caravan stations, along which commerce passed in old days, as attempt to bring the teas and the silks of the North on men's shoulders over the mountains to Canton, when a wide river and a rapid stream are at hand to carry them to open and legal ports. But these truths, and still more the facts that are born of them, cannot be satisfactory to a community that has more or less involved its interests with that of Canton. Hongkong, although but a speck of rock, has half a dozen newspapers. Like the cicadce that make Southern China so vocal, it has a voice entirely disproportioned to its size or im portance. Hongkong feels itself humiliated and displaced by the opening up of China, and we must not be surprised to find that all the success, whether of arms or of diplomacy, which is so valuable to the rest of the world, and so important to the great interests of humanity, is rather carped at than celebrated in that little locality. We are not blaming them for this. They arc very good peo ple, but they have a natural tendency towards their own interests. The wonde r would be were it otherwise; but it is necessary that the fact should be known in this country. However, Lord Elgin took the first opportunity after the arrival of the Commissioners to pacify Canton. It was believed that he had not insisted upon this at Tien-sin, because, with the precedent of the evils that had followed the temporising policy pursued by Elliot and Gough with those Canton braves before his eyes, he thought it would be better for permanent tranquillity if these gentry were put down by force ; but when General Straubenzee dis appointed his expectations and actually allowed a Chi n ese army to escalade his walls, without taking them in the rear and cutting them off, it became necessary to act from Pekin. Lord Elgin therefore made it a condition precedent to the transaction of business with the Chinese Commissioners, that Canton should be tranquillised. The Commissioners looked out upon the fleet of steamers and square rigged vessels that crowded the Shanghai river, and acceded. They instantly despatched a special messenger to Canton with a proclamation announc ing the peace •, they promised to obtain the removal of Hwang and the dissolution of the Committee of War, and they manifested an alacrity of which a few months ago it was thought that Chinamen were entirely incapable, to remove all impediments to a conclusive state of peace. All this has been done. Canton is as quiescent as it was six days after the bombardment.

Had the prisoner administered any noxious drug to the prosecutrix? 2. :Was that which he administered a noxious drug ? and, 3. Was it administered with the intent to procure abortion ? His Lordship then read over the evidence as to these points, and left for them to say whether that which he gave to the prosecutrix to take was not an administering to her, and whether that which he gave her and which made her so ill, and the effects of which as a drug had been described by the medical witness, was not a noxious drug ; and lastly, whether, considering all the circumstances, the pri soner had not knowingly administered this drug to her with intent to induce abortion. The jury, after a short consultation; found the prisoner guilty. Sentence was deferred. LIVERoOoL, Dec. 16. (Before Mr. Baron Bramwell.) Ann Coultass was indicted for the murder of SYillia Coultass, her idiot child, at St. H I 'eens, on the 21st of August last. Mr. Leresche prosecuted, and Dr. Wheeler de fended the prisoner. The prisoner resided with her two brothers as their housekeeper, and in the same house a Mr. William Ewing, and his wife and mother-in-law, had lodgings. About a fortnight before the death of the boy, who was seven years old, the prisoner began to drink incessantly—a habit into which, it was stated, she had fallen subsequent to the death of her own mother some twelve months before. She also bought a razor, which she carried about upon her person, and once during this time threatened to cut off her child's head, and threatened to commit suicide. At other times she would sit moping and in a melancholy condition, and weeping copionsly. It appeared that when sober she was a " kind hearted, steady, and creditable creature" (as one of the witnesses described her), though even then ad dicted to crying frequently, and subject to low spirits. She was much attached to the deceased. On the day before the murder she returned home in a state of intoxication, and when reproached by Mrs. Ewing for her neglect of the child, she took out the razor and threatened to kill it. Nothing seemed to have been thought of this at the time, as she was so tipsy, but she was removed, and the Ewings kept the child in their apart:" ment till the next (Sunday) morning. About five o'clock the prisoner took it from them, and proceeded to her own bedroom with it. The boy was never after seen alive. The prisoner procured a floor-brush and hot water during the morning, and the noise of cleaning was heard to proceed from her room. About noon she came down, and, in answer, to inquiries, said the child had had two very bad fits, but was then asleep. She then asked that a friend whom she had known six years (a Mrs. Hudspeth) might be sent for. Upon her arrival she made various presents to her, consisting of a purse, ornaments, &e., but the prisoner's man ner alarmed her, and she urgently required to see the deceased. After some time the prisoner said, " You make a great bother about Willy ; you might think I had done something to him. Come and I'll show him to you." Thereupon she led Mrs. Hud speth and Mrs. Ewing upstairs. When they en tered the bedchiimber they found her child dead on the bed, washed and laid out. On closer examina tion a linen bandage, stitched together behind,was round the throat, and on removing this a deep wound, entirely severing the jugular vein, was dis covered. Mrs. Hudspeth exclaimed at the sight, and the prisoner, flinging herself upon the body, exclaimed, " Oh, my God, what have I done ?" The police were sent for, and upon the entrance of the constable into her room she hurried towards the dressing-table. The officer, however, stopped her, and afterwards found upon that table a razor with fresh blood upon it. Her statement in reply to the charge of murder was, " I have nothing to say to it, but my brothers have not behaved to me kiiid'y for some time." Dr. Wheeler addressed the jury on behalf of the prisoner, and contended that the state of melancholy mania which the evidence indicated to have been the condition of the prisoner's mind justified a ver dict of not guilty on the ground of insanity. The learned Judge summed up with great care, explaining fully the characteristics of that kind and degree of insanity which would aniount to an exemption from criminal responsibility. The jury were on the point of retiring (the fore man stating that one gentleman refused to concur in the general view), when ft further consultation occurred, and finally a verdict on the ground of insanity was returned. The prisoner, who had been absorbed in grief during the whole trial, was then removed. (Before Mr. Justice Hill.) FORGERIES, 13Y A NEWSPAPER PROPRIETOR AT WIGAN. John Pollard, late proprietor of the Wigan Ex aminer, and London Colliery Guardian, was brought up for sentence, the prisoner having pleaded guilty to forging deeds and tranfers cf shares of the Wigan Union Benefit Building Society. His lordship sentenced the prisoner to penal servitude for the term of eight years. MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—WARWICK, DEC. 15. (Before Mr. Justice Wightman.) Emma Bennett, who pleaded guilty, and John Harford who pleaded not guilty, were charged with having robbed. Edwin James Taylor of his watch, and having at the same time used personal violetce to him. Mr. Sargeaunt conducted the prosecution. The robbery was proved to have been committed by the hand of the female prisoner in a public street, her male companion standing at a little dis tance and interfering with blows when the prose cutor endeavoured to pursue her. A crowd gathering round the escape of both was prevented. Verdict, guilty. Both prisoners were sentenced to four years' penal servitude. Win. Richard Timms stood charged with having, at the borough of Birmingham, feloniously cut and. wounded Mary Arm Owen, with intent to murder her. Mr. Spooner prosecuted, and Mr. O'Brien, at the request of the Court, defended the prisoner. The prisoner paid his addresses to tl e prosecu trix, with whom two young women lodged and worked. On the 4th Of . October, about half-past six in the morning, the two female ledgers returned from a party at which they had spent the previous night, and found the prisoner at Mrs. Owen's house, lying upon a sofa in the lower room, where it appeared he had been sleeping, while Mrs. Owen occupied the room above. All met to gether at breakfast, of which the prisoner, though invited by Mrs. Owen, refused to partake. He sent for a quartern of gin, of which he desired Mrs Owen to drink, but she refused. After breakfast Mrs. Owen went up stairs, and was followed by the prisoner, who asked her what she meant to do. She replied, " I mean to do what I told you. I won't go with you since you're so tipsy." Prosecutrix then went down stairs and was followed by him down and up stairs again, when he closed the door, desired her to sit down again, asked her whether she meant what she had said, and, on her answering " Yes," put his arm round her neck and drew a razor across her throat, inflicting a wound some 4 inches in length and an inch and a half deep in the deepest part, but in such a direction as closely to approach the principal blood vessel, but not divide it. The prosecutrix uttered a cry of " Murder," upon hear ing which Jane Hummins, one of the female lodgers, ran up stairs, and upon watering the room found the prisoner leaning over Mrs. Owen with a razor in his hand, in the act of cutting her throat. Mrs. Owen was lying on her back, while the pri soner's knee was on her chest and his left hand on her forehead. Hummins struggled with him, an d having succeeded in wresting the razor from his grasp ran down stairs and gave an alarm. She then returned up stairs and saw the prisoner kneel ing and leaning against the wall by the side of Mrs. Owen, who still lay upon the floor. She again went down to bring some one i n an d was followed by the prisoner, who declared that he would kill any one who came near him. Ile again returned to the room and Hummins following him saw him m with ore a a k n n d i e f a e ll i e n d ' a S n h a e on went returning d o 7 f o o u n n c d e that Mrs. Ow en h a d the knife in her hand. The prosecutrix then became insensible, and a police man arrived, who took the prisoner into custody: Prisoner declared to him that he intended to mur der her, adding, " I will murder her when I am at liberty, rather than any one else shall have her ! " The razor had been borrowed of a neighbour by the prisoner about two days previously. Mr. O'Brien addressed the jury, contending that the act was not one of deliberate intent to murder, but the result of a sudden fit of jealousy. The learned Judge observed on the ability with which the prisoner's counsel had addressed the jury, and having commented on the evidence, left the case to the jury, who returned a verdict of guilty of the full offence. Sentence of death was recorded, subjecting the prisoner to peedl servitude for life, or such term as her Majesty may please to determine. A number of burglaries and other cases of little public interest were disposed of in the course of the day. TS TS rs rs t
