SAMPED s`).] ASsIZE INi s PLL [GEM'S'. HOME CIRCITIT.---ICINGsTox, MarCh 26. (Before Mr: Justice Williams.) , Eliza Clout. 2(1, a good-lookidg young woman, appal -en' lv , far advanced in pregnancy, was charged with feloniously cut ting and wounning her husband, Wm. Clout, with intent to do him grievous bodily harm. Mr. •Lilley conducted the prosecution. The prisaner•had no counsel. This case was of a very painful nature. It appea-ed that the prosecutor was a.labouring man, living at Fa ahem, and he and the prisoner had been - married for several - years, and that the prisoner entertained a feeling of jealousy respecting her hus , and. On the 19th of October they had gohe to drink tea with the landlady -of a 'public-house, called the Royal Arms, at Farnham, and after tea the prosecutor went into another room, and in the course of the evening the pH smier went to him and asked him to go home; and a few angry words ensued. The prisoner suddenly exclaimed "Take that," or words to the same effect, and cut her hue land in the back of the neck with a razor, and he Lied pro fusely, and upon his being examined by Mr Clark, a surgeon in the neighbourhood, it was found that he had receive I a very severe wound.. The prisoner was taken into custody, when she stated that she did not - mean to hurt her husband, and only intended to frighten him. The weapon with which the wound was inflicted was a razor belonging to the prose cutor, and which, it appo fired, the p r i soner h a d b rought from home for the purpose. Mr.:Clark, the surgeon, stated, in answer to a question put by the Court, t . :at a good deal of force must have been used to cause the injury on the neck of the prosecutor ; but he at the same time said he was of opinion that the object of the prisoner was not to take away life, or e:se she wou'd have inflicted the injury in front of the throat instead of the back. The prosecutor having given la's evidence, said that he had been away from his home on the day before the occur rence, and had ar , e . ravated the prisoner, and they had both been drinking spirits to a‘censidera.ble extent`on the day the offence was committed. The prisoner, who appeared very faint a nd ill d ur ' ng th e trial, was unable to say anything in defence to the jury. Mr. Justice Williams having summed up, the jury found the prisoner guilty of unlawfully wounding. The prosecutor entreated his lordship to deal mercifully lii if she were vl l? hiswife ' an se at it sai l d ibe h r e ty w . as r ady to take her home with Mr Justice Williams said it appeared to him that, having reg rd to the circumstances of the case, and the condition of the prisoner, the best course would be to respite the judg ment to the Summer Assiz s, and, in the meauti the pri soner would remain in custody, and bet ken care of. Nothing of interest occurred in the Civil Court. NO RTHERN CIRCUIT.—LIVERPOOL, March 26. This day the trial of Captain John Anderson Christie (master of the ship Elizabeth, belonging to Messrs. Tobin, of Liverool), for the alleged murcrr of Francisco Rode riquez, a seaman on board the Elizabeth, came on before Mr. Baron Martin, is the Crown Court, at• Liverpool. Mr, Bliss, Q C., Attorney-General for , he County Palatine, Mr. James, and Mr. Aspivall , onlucted the prosecution ; and the prisoner was defended by Mr. Tindal Atkinson, Mr. Fernley, and Mr. Peel. The iollewing are the particulars of the case as detailed by the Attorn• y-General in opening the case on the part of the Crown :—ln June last the ship Rize.beth was on the coast of Africa, off New Calabar, and at this time the prisoner, who was then captain of the Fa' th, was transferre to the Elizabeth, along with three others, named respectively J,,seph Mitchell, who died, Alphons ) Mattio, and Francisco Roderiquez, into whose death they were now about to in quire. The deceased was by birth a Spaniard, and in re ligion a Roman Cath.die He was, when he joined the ship, in good health, and in the full vigour of his age. tie was entered as an able seaman, and was of the average capacity of seamen. The ship sailed from Calabar on the 2.-4th of July, and nothing particular happened until about a month afterwards, when the prisoner commented beating and kicking the deceased severely, and used the rope's end to him, and this was continued during the whole of the voy fV7o until about a fortnight before the deceased's death. During this fortnight the deceased was lingering in his bunk, gradually appreac:.ing the term of his life. There were two beatings amongst the rest, to which he wished particularly to refer. Ono took place in September, and the other about a fortni ht before deceased's death. The deceased was trim ming the binnacle lamp, and whilst doing so he fell down the stairs with the lamp in Isis hand. The prisoner asked what was the matter, and was told the deceased had fallen. The prisoner then came forward, and seized the deceased by the neck, and beat him very much in all parts of his body, end wi:en the prisoner left him the dece ,, sed was iu sue ' agony from the beating that he could scarcely crawl, and cried out that his back was broken. It was subsequently discovered that his spine was broken, for after that time he w rs never able to stand upright. He often complained afterwards about his hick, and showed it to the other seaman, who saw large lumps upon it. One day after this deceased was trying to wan( on the deck, but was unable to do so, except very slowly. The prisoner followed him and told him to get en quicker, and on the deceased saying he was unable to do so, the captain kicked him severely, when he fell on the deck, and could not rise again. He tlku crawled into his bunk on his hands and knees, and from this time he never afterwards putt d his berth alive, t xcept on one day when the prisour roped him and kicked him. The deceased then crept along into his bunk, where he remained for fourteen days. During this time his mind became effected, and after the most excruciating sufferings caused by the spine having been broken, and the other wounds and injuri s he had re ceived, ha died on the Ist of November, and was thrown overboard. The ship arrived in LiverpoM in t , e 9th of Nov. tuber, and immediately afterwards an Apr prentice, named James Naggs, wen: to the owners, Messrs. T..,bin, and gave informath.n of what h to taken Flace on b ard. An inquiry into the circumstances then t ole place efore the loc:0 Marine Board, and this led to the in vestiga, ion b fore the magistrates, which was f .flowed by the facts of the ease bAng brought under the notice of the Bcc.rd of Trade, who had du ected this pros-cutio-.

The Judge —How was that affection of the chest brough ou Mr. Inman said it was very commonly brought on by injuries. Inflammati ,n of the chest frequently followed in juries. By the Attorney-General—l am of opinio: , that such kick ing and beating as I have heard described may have produced this inflammation. By Mr Tindal Atkinson.—l do not think, from what I have heard, that scurvy was tha cause of death. I do not think it poss ble. Mr. Wall, surgeon at the Northern llospita', combo•ated Mr. Inm in's evidence as to the cause of death. By Mr. Pernaley—Was of opinion that the evidence showed that scurvy was not the cause of death. The Attorney-General said that was the case on the part of the Crown. Mr. Atkinson then addressed the jury cn behalf of the prisoner.

Mr. Humphreys —And I as confidently' assert that it is a very proper question to put to a practical man ; but if tile alderman says that I am not entitled to Ind it I will not press it. Alderman Hale—l do not think you should put such a question. Mr, Humphreys —I bow to your decision, sir; and hale only uow to say that my case is complete; with the't xception of the production of the policy.

I asked her to produce it, for I should take possession of it. She produced a leather case, of which I took possession. Oa examining it I found that it was locked ; I asked for the key, and it was stated that it could not be found. I then asked Mrs. Vick br some tape, and a seal, if she had one in her possession. She then gave me some tape, and a seal with the crest of a stag upon it. I placed the tape through the banal-, so that it could not tie slipped either way, and after tying the ends fiea.ed them. I retaired pus-e-sien t f the case. I then left and proceeded, eith Deist) and Barnes, to the shop oi tn., dec aced, set ere Barnes produced from some place of coricealcnent, a cash-1)(7x.

Immed ate!) , afterwards Inspector Dai,,h and myself lift t )wn for Fareham, Hambledon, and other places to make inquiries ; but previously to that I had caminunicated with the brothers of the deceased. I subsequently had a second interview with the brothers, and I asked Barnes if he knew where the key of the box, containing the money, wa4. He said, "Yes." He produced it, end the bcx was opened in their presence. I did this fur the sati-faction of the brothers. The b x was found to contain ecetne capera, one bag containing three 101. and two 51. &ink of England notes, and sixty•six sovereigns and a-half.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—March 26. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. ' (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir P. Wood.) THE EAST ANOLIAN RAILWAY COMPANY V. GOODWIN. Sir R. Bethell was heard in reply iu this case, which Las occupied the Co art Ix several days, and of which the general outline has been already stated in The Sun. The Vice-Chancellor aid that he could not part with the ca o satisfactorily until he h”d Messrs. Lacy and Everard, two of th directors previous to the amalgamation, broug t before him for viva voce examination in respect of c er t a i n share transactions. It would be desirable that an early day should be fixed for the attendance of these gen,lemen. RENDALL V. THE CRYSTAL PALACE COMPANY. This cause came ou by way of demurrer to a bill by a sharJholder in the corn, any, for the purpose of restraining the directors from accepting the surrender of shares in ex change for tickets of admission, ou the terms specified in an advertisement of the 17th of February, 1858, and from Li . - suing any tickets of admission on such terms, and from ad mitting any persons to the building or grounds on the Lords-day, in consideration of any money payment, whether made directly or indirectly. By the charter of the company, bearing date the 28th of January, 1853, it was dec!a-ei that the chxrter was granted on condition that no person should be admitted to t. e said building or grounds on the Lord's day, in co sideration of a , y money payment, whether made diree, ly or intlinetly, unless the express sanction of the Legislature should have been obtain d for admission on such cons•deration, and then only for the time warranted by the act of Parliament. By the Cry tal Palace Com pany's Act, 1856, the directors were empowered to ogre) with shareholders for the conversion of shares or stock into a ticket of admission to the building and grounds of the company, for the proprietors or their nominees, either for life or such term of years as might be determined on. The - et also provided, that nothing therein contained should alter or invalidate the charter, or relieve the company from any , 1 covenants or conditions contained therein, except so NI- as the charter was expressly varied by this Act. The question of tit • advisability of op wing the gardens and grounds to the shareholders ,11 Sunday afternoons was Loin time to time much discussed, and on the 7th of December, 1857 the direc tors issued a report recommending the conversion of the ordi nary and preference shares into tickets, entitling the prop io tors of such shares to a cer ain number of gratuitous admis sions to th:t palace and grounds on all ordinary shilling days upon certain terms as to their use, 60 admissions being adopted as the number in exchange for an ordinary share and 120 for a preference share. As to admission on Sundays, the direc tors recommended that a resolution of the Board be passed authorising admission by these t ckets to the l Waco and grounds on Sunday afternoons after 1 30 as a gratuitous pri vilege and without any mon e y p a y men t t o b e ma d e di rect l y or indirectly to the company for such privilege, the number of persons admitted by each ticket being, however, two ded upon it A resolution in accordance with the directors' re port was passed at an extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders on the 7th of December, 1857. An advertise ment was published in the Tinto inviting applications to the directors for the surrender of shares in the company in ex change for tickets of admission upon the terms already speci fied. The plaintiff, who had protested against the resolution authorising admission to the grounds ou Sunday afternoon;, had filed a bill against the directors, on behalf of himself and all other shareholders who should come in and contribute, to restrain the issue of tickets upon these terms, alleging that the proposed admission on Sunday afternoons would occasion a forfeiture of the charter, and that money would be received by the company both dieectly and indirectly in respect of these tickets, as well from the fee of 2s. 6d. to be paid on the surrender of each share as from the amngements with the London and Brighton Railway Company, and otherwise. Tho company had demurred to the bill. Mr. W. M. James and Mr. Hemming, in support of the de murrer, contended that neither dire tly nor indirect'' , would money b • paid in respect of the Sandy afternoon admissions, which were to be confined to the shareholders and their friends. The condi ion in the charter mast be construed strictly. It was intended to restrain the use of the palace and grounds as a place of public entertainment ou Sundays, but not to prevent the proprietors from availing themselves of their property iu the same manner as the Fellows of the Zoological and Botanical Societies. With respect to indirect money payments, the statute 21 George 111., c. 49, against pr fanation of the Lord's day, sufficiently specified what might amount to an indirect paymeht for admission, and this statute was clearly imported into the charter and governed its application. The Solicitor-General and ➢ir. Busk, fur the plaintiff, were not called on. The Vice-Ch.meellor said that the demurrer could not be sustained. Had he entertained any doubt on the question of construction, he might have availed himself of the assistance of a common law judge. The case turned simply on the charter of the company, which expressly prov.ded " that no person should be admitted to the said building or grounds on the Lord's day, in considera'iou of any money payment, direct or indirect, unless the express ranctiou of the Legislature should have been obtained," &c. It did'not even reserve to the Grown the power of relaxing the prohibition, and ho could not accede to the argument that the charter was to be tat en as simply importing the proviaons of the Act 21st George 111 , cap. 49. For this reason the cases cited as to places of public entertain ment did not apply. The charter was to be forfeited upon the admission of any one person by payment in money, whether directly or indirectly made. Suppose the directors had had the power to buy up shares, and they had offered to purchase the shares on the terms and for the consideration of giving to the proprietor aud his nominees admissions on so many Sundays, this would have been clearly within the prohibitory condition of the charter, as the receiving indirectly a money payment for the privilege of that admission. It was true a share waa not money, but it was money's worth---an article value, saleable in the market at a certain price, and conferring the right to the dividend, &c. It would be a very narrow construction indeed to hold that money or money payment must be actual cash, Linder the act of 1856 power was ob tained for the conversion of shares into life admissions. It was said that the directors would be entitled under this act to extend the admission to Sundays, but there was an express proviso agai st any coudit on in the charter being thereby altered or inv .Hlated. All that was enacted was, that shares should be convertel into tickets of admi sion, which meant ordinary existing tickets of admission, applying only to days upon which admission was not prohibited. There was no re lease from th conditions imposed by the charter in that re spect. Parting with a share which was a valuable property for a ticket of admission upon the terms proposed was in effect procuring a ticket for admission on Sundays in consideration of money paid indirectly to the company. The company were not authorised to issue tickets of admission on these terms, and the demurrer must be overruled. The injunction sought by the bill and nitice of motion would be granted, restraining the defendants from issuing tickots so as to admit, persons to the grollnrls on the Lord's-thy, in consideration of any money , payment, directly or indirectly.

GUILDHALL.—Cnaites OF ARSON,—Wm. llonry Parker, a wholesale warehouseman and mantle manufacturer, of 46, Monkwell-street, City, was placed at the bar before Alder man Hale for further examination relative to tho charge of setting fire to his house, on the night of the 10th of March last, with intent to defraud the Westminster Insurance Com pany of 5601. Mr. Humphreys said he attended to watch the case in be half of the Westminster Fire-office, for the purpose merelyi of watching the case, not with the view of withdrawing from it, b.,t in order that they might be able to conduct the prose(ju tion at the Old Bailey, in the event of the magistrate sending the prisoner for trial. No undue severity would be exercised by the Insurance Company towards the prisoner by tl)at course; and he therefore only proposed to call the necessary witnesses to be examined by the Court in reference to the value of the property claimed for. He presumed there would be no difficulty with regard to the production of the policy; Mr. Sleigh (for the pri said every assistance should be rendered to forward this investigation that was consistent with the nature of this charge and the prisoner's position. No notice had been given for the production of the poli !y,, or it shoul I have been here, but if it were required it should ,be sent for. A niJdol of the premises alleged to have been set on bad been very ingeniously constructed by Inspector Foulg,r .e , and was now produced. The depositions taken on the former occasion having been read over, Inspector Foulger was recalled, and said--I have been to the premises since the last examination, and have made the model produced. It is a correct representation of the interior of the warehouse and cellar where the fire was found. (The witness here explained, with the a' , .d of the model, the rela tive positions of the gas burner with the parts of the pre mises on fire.) Alderman Hale—l quite understand it. The model makes it very clear. Inspector Foulger—lt is a very dark cellar. I produce the gas branch, from which the ordinary burner or nipple has been removed, and upon lighting it, I found that it gave out a flame about 18 inches long, and when found by the firemen it was turned up to within three or four inches of the flooring. I may.mention that the outside private door, which is the usual way out, was secured by two locks when the firemen broke it open, so that it would require two keys to open it. Mr. John Toner said-1 live in Cloud esley-square, Islington, awl am one of the agents for the Westminster Fire-office. On the 15th of September, the prisoner made a proposal for in suring his pr m ises at 3d, Monkwell - street , for 1,000 /. 900/. of which was for stock in trade and fixtures, and 1001. for household goods. Cross examined —It was through my instrumentality that this insurance was effected. I called upon him to solicit him. Mr. Sleigh explained that the value of the stock consumed had been assessed by a third party, and not by the prisoner. Mr. Humphreys —That is not my belief. Mr. Wm. Arnold said— I am in the employ of Mes ;Ts. Stagg and Mantle, of Leicester-square. I buy and superintend the mantle department. I went to the prison r's premises ou Tuesday last, and examined the stock there. I have also see the claim sent into the insurance office.
