SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Kerr.) 1311 LS OF EXCHANGE AND BANKERS-VA CIF , ORTINT DECI SION-HOWARD V. LLOYD AND C ITHERS. Plaintiff is a merchant, and defendants are the eminent bankers of Lothbury. The action was br4 aught to recover £1 damages through the alleged ton-pres entation of a bill of exchange accepted by plaintiff. Plaint iff said the bill was payable at his house, and the money N vas there ready upon the morning when it became due. Ch e bill was not presented until the evening, whet the note al r applied and demanded the 2s. 6d. for noting. Plaintiff obj et ted to paythe charge, and was referred to the bard. The nex t day plaintiff went to the bank and complained that tbt bill had not been regularly presented. The bink clerk, , however, said that it had been, and plaintiff the' paid the • money for the bill and the 2s. 6d. His Honour had never heard of an acti' rn of this kind before. What damages had plaintiff sustai' led ? Plaintiff—l had to go backwards and forwards once or twice, and my name is en the black list as t oat of a person whose bill has been protested. His Honour—Prove that, and it may po isibly help you in your action for damages. The case wil tbe adjourned that I may look into the law. To-day Mr. Bower appeared for the defen clo.nts, and after stating that the 2s. 6d. had been paid into court, quoted a well known case (Mackintosh v. Hayden) in ;support of his case. In addition to this, he was prepared. to prove that plaintiff never tendered the money to the not ;ary% Plaintiff was cross-examined as to the l ayment of the money. He admitted that he had not tend tied the money in the evening. Mr. Brown then said that the bank clerk had mistaken the house, and the notary was sent the same evening. The fact was, the clerk went to a different street, r Lnd called upon a person having a name similar to plaintiff, and. he was in formed that no money was left out. Mr. Brown contended that plaintiff could not recover. His Honour said plaintiff could not recover beyond the 2s. 6d. He might sue the publishers of the Black List for publishing his name. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(TILIS DAL) room in Ward No. 11. The bed is on the padded floor. There is a slight projection attached to the door, but that is padded. There is no article of furniture in the room. Mr. Henry—ls that so in all the padded rooms. Witness—Yes. Cross-examined by Mr. Lewis—l was merely passing through the airing court when I saw Swift. There were a great number of others present. He made no mention to me of the injury on his stomach. I assume his health was perfect, because he spoke to me in his usual high-flown strain. He laboured under the delusion that he had slain 300 Catholics. He used to think such a circumstance of great merit. Mr. Sleigh said that was the whole of the evidence of that part of the case ; but he had some medical gentlemen in at tendance to speak to the cause of death, after hearing the whole of the evidence. Mr.'Henry—Then'the whole of the evidence already taken must be read over to them, and then the question as to their opinion of the cause of death eotild be put to them. Mr. Burnaby, the chief clerk, having read the evidence Mr. Sleigh called several medical gentlemen, whose evi dence corroborated that of the surgeon of the asylum. The prisoners were then committed for-trial, bail being accepted. SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock. SYRIA. We have received the following from the Tur kish Ambassador : THE MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS TO THE TURKISH AMBASSADOR IN LONDON. CONSTANTINOPLE, AUG. 9, 1860. I hasten to transmit to you the following tele 'graphic despatch which I have received via Chio, from P. E. Fuad Pasha, dated from. Damascus, Aug. 4. Yesterday I arrested 330 individuals guilty of the massacres. To-day the number of arrests - exceeds 409. In a day or two all the chief persons who are seriously implicated will have been arrested. The guilty, condemned by the extraordinary Council which I have already appointed, will be immediately executed. A great part of the effects, furniture, and valuables ;aken have been seized. The orderly part of the population have given us their moral support by their calmness. The disaffected are terror stricken. The greatest tranquillity reigned in the town during the arrests, which were made without oppo sition. The Imperial troops have given further proof of their zeal and patriotism. The following telegram has been received at Mr. Reuter's office : OFFICIAL. CONSTANTINOPLE, AUG. 9. Advices from Damascus, of the 4th inst., report that city quite quiet, and that perfect order is re established. Upwards of 400 persons, accused of complicity in the massacres, have been arrested. In a day or two all the principal persons compromised will be in the hands of the authorities. An extraordinary court has been opened for the ,rial of the accused, and those condemned be Immediately executed. The troops behave well. A great part of the pillaged property has been recovered. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. BOW-STREET. THE ALLEGED MANSLAUGHTER AT COVNEY HATCH LUNATIC ASYLUM.—William Slater and William Vivian, formerly employed as attendants at the Cola sy Hatch Lu natic Asylum, were placed at the bar, in aci:.ordance with remand, charged with causing the death of an inmate named William swift_ Mr. Sleigh appeared for the prosecution, raid Mr. Lewis defended both prisoners. It will be recollected that the defendants deny altogether that the injuries which caused the death of deceased occur red while he *as in their care, but that they must have taken place while ho was in charge of another keeper on the Thursday previous. The first witness called to-day was Mr. G. S. Brent, who said—l am deputy-coroner for Middlesex. I upon the 17th of May held an inquest on the body of Wm. Swift, an inmate of Colney Hatch Lunatic Asylum. The defendant Vivian was examined as a wit ness, and I produce his deposition. Mr. Lewis objected to the deposition being taken :in evidence against one of his clients. The point has not yal been decided whether such was evidence or not. Mr. Henry—There are decisions both ways. I shall re ceive it to-day, and then the question whether I have acted properly can be decided by the judges. The witness proceeded to read the deposition. Mr. Lewis objected. Mr. Henry—ls the statement one taken on oath, read ever, and signed by the witness ? Mr. Brent said, except in cases of murder or manslaughter, the evidence taken at a coroner's inquest is not read over and signed by the witness. Mr. Henry—Then, in fact, the paper is a note and not a deposition; and the witness (Mr. Brent) could legally refresh his memory by referring to the paper as a note. Mr. Lewis said, if it was not a deposition, it ought not to be received at all. Mr. Henry—That is the same point as you previously raised. lam aware there are cases both ways, and I shall receive it. The statement was as follows :—The deceased was an in mate of No. 11 ward ; there are three keepers to that ward, and forty-three patients, some of whom were violent. Oa Thursday, at half-past one o'clock, the deceased was much excited. On Saturday, May 12, he said he had been work ing very hard all night. That was in his ward, which was a padded room. There were only two rooms in that ward, which are padded. The deceased had not shown any violence while he was in the ward. On Saturday evening, about half-past six o'clock, he was seised with an epileptic fit. I took him into the padded room, and remained with him until it was over. Slater was with us. I left him alone for 10 minutes to attend to other patients. I then went with another attendant to him, and he said he was better. I undressed him and put him to bed. I had to attend the other patients'supper. I then took the deceased his supper, and found him in a very low state. I sent for Mr. Tyerman at 20 minutes to eight. I remained until he came, which was about three minutes afterwards. He was then dead. I know that he had a struggle in the C ward, but did not know that he had sustained injuries. He said nothing about his injuries. He was very talkative. He might have been ont of sight of an attendant for a short time. He was not, so far as I know, the subject of any violence from any other person while he was in my ward. By Mr. Lewis.—No deposition was signed by the wit ' ness, or was the statement read over to him. I only took down the portions of statements that I considered material, not the whole. I can't say that the jury visited the differ ent wards before they returned their verdict. They left my room and returned an open verdict. William Gann—l am one of the attendants of the C ward at Colney Hatch Lunatic Asylum. The deceased man Swift was one of the persons under my care until Thursday the 10th of May. He had been so from the Bth of March. On the 9th of May Swift was in his bedroom, and in onsequenee of hearing a noise I went to the door. I unloc k ed the door and before I had time to speak to him Swift struck me in the eye, and seized me by the necktie. I said " I've got you." I found that I was being strangled. I called on Cross, a patient, to render me assistance. I struck Swift in the pit of the stomach, and we fell together. I know nothing more after that until I was released by another attendant. When I came to myself - Swift was in bed. I did not do more than was sufficient for self-defence. .When I recovered an d go t u p, 1 was bleed ing— from the nose and mouth. We fell on our side. I did not fall upon him or throw myself upon him. The room in which this struggle took place was not padded. When I locked Swift up in his bedroom, he made no complaint of being hunt. He wished me good night as usual. I saw him the next morning. He appeared as usual. He showed me the bruise on the pit of the stomach, when I reported it to the proper person. He made no allusion to the struggle which took place between us on the previous night. Swift used to sweep the ward out every morning, and he came as usual that morning fur his broom. He walked about 'and eat his breakfast and dinner as usual. There appeared nothing the matter with him. After dinner I took himdown and handed him over to No. 11 Ward, by order of Dr. Tyerman, and gave him over to the attendant, the defendant Vivian, and another named Greyer. Cross-examined by Mr. Lewis—Swift was very excited on the occasion he struggled with me. I think he laboured under the delusion that he was always seeing the Queen. When he struck me he appeared to have lost all control over himself. I have known cases where, when the paroxysms were over, patients have never mentioned the circumstance. Swift was a strong powerful man, and it required great exertion to throw him down. I have no recollection of anything that took place after we were down together. I ,truck Swift and we both fell together. I hit him as hard as I could. It was near the pit of the stomach. It was not near the breast bone. The moment the blow was struck we both fell. He had still hold of my necktie. I was in sensible for some time-after I fell with Swift. There are 15 or 16 wards in the asylum. No. 11 is termed the re fractory ward. The patients from the different wards who are refractory are all sent to No. 11. I have never done duty in the ward, so I cannot say whether all the patients are refractory. I don't recollect telling the coroner I could not recollect how we fell. When Swift came to the Asylum in March there were traces of injuries on the wrist. I have seen Swift sparring in the wards. I have seen him spar with a man named Atkins. On one occasion he got a black eye. That was in March, shortly after his admission. I don't know either of the witnesses, Clark or Varney, who have been examined. Charles Read—l am an attendant. I have charge of C ward. I recollect the 9th of May, when I was called to the assistance of the last witness by one of the patients. When I went into the room I saw Gann lying on the floor. Swift had got him fast by the neck. I took hold of his hand, and asked him twice to let go, and he did so. I told him to get into bed, which he did. Gann and himself left the room together, after locking the door on Swift. Gann was bleeding at the mouth and nose. Swift appeared in a good state when we left him. He appeared a little excited, but did not complain of any injury. I visited him again the same night about an hour after we locked up. He was then in a good state, as he spoke very cheerfully, and was not at all excited. He did not appear to be suffering from any injury, nor did he make any complaint. I saw him next day. He appeared in his usual health and spirits. By Mr. Henry—Swift was raising himself up when I first saw him. He still held Gann by the necktie. Cross-examined by Mr. Lewis —Swift was holding Gann down. I have been at the asylum. I have seen lunatics ill-treated by other lunatics, and those so injured I have known to complain of pain. I have known Swift to be violent very often. He has never complained to me of any injury. By the Magistrate—There was no bedstead in Swift's room. His bed was a mattress on the floor, with all the clothing complete. It was a bed complete without a bedstead. Thomas John Ford-1 am one of the head attendants on the male side at Colney Hatch Asylum. On Saturday, the 12th of May, the day of Swift's death, I saw him between four and five. He was in the airing court. He appeared in hi s ordinary health and spirits, I know the padded ANNOYING MR. DISTIN.—Giulio Barrafaldi, an Italian, formerly in the band of the 60th Rifles, was charged be fore Mr. Tyrwhitt with creating a disturbance at the house of Mr. Distin, musical, instrument maker, 9, Great New port-street. It appeared that the accused, a man of a very excitable temperament, had been in the habit, for some past, of going to Mr. Distin's shop, and causing great annoyance, on one occasion it taking four constables to remove him. The porter of St. Martin's Workhouse (Brennan) said the prisoner had been an inmate of the house, and was very troublesome. He understood he had been in the band of the 60th Rifles, and received his discharge. Mr. Tyrwhitt raid he supposed having been a musician, end being a man of an excitable disposition, and aforeig,ner, he had been attracted to Mr. Distin's shop by the instru ments. He thought he had bettor be taken to the work house and the authorities there could see the Sardinian Am bassador, the man being an Italian, and, perhaps, he would have him sent home. A ➢ir. Albert having acted as interpreter, and explained the case to the man, he was taken away by a constable to the office of the Strand Union. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. READING RACES-THURSDAY.

COLLISION ON THE CALEDONIAN RAILWAY.—A collision occurred at an early hour on Tuesday morning on the Caledonian Railway near Edinburgh. Official infor mation was declined, but we understand that the collision took place not far from Slateford, between the night mail train from the south and the goods train. The mail train, which is due at Lothian road about half an hour after mid night, was rather late, and dashed into a train of goods trucks which were being shunted on to the Haymarket station. Alarming rumours were abundant about the re sults of the accident, but we believe the most serious injury is that one gentleman, a passenger in the mail train, had his leg fractured, and another passenger was severely bruised. Others were injured, but not to any serious extent,---scoteman, MPEJIIAL PARLIAMENT HOUgE OF LORDS—(THIS EVENING). The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at four o'clock. The Forest of Dean Central Railway (No. 2) Bill was read a second time. • THE CLERGY AT WILLESDEN. The Bishop of LONDON presented a petition from the clergy and inhabitants of Willesden, in the county of Mid dlesex, complaining of the smallness of the salaries of the clergy, and they prayed the house to pass such measures as would insure an Increase of stipends to the clergy out of the church property belonging to the district. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE. • - Earl GRANVILLE, with respect to the question o_ the noble earl the other evening as to the business the Government intended to proceed with, said the Go vernment intended to abandon the Lien on Freights Bill. He much regretted :that course, because it was a most important measure, but if the thought proper to insist on the bill going forward he should be ready to proceed. With respect to the other bills he could not speak positively, but as regarded the Landlord and Tenant Ireland Bill, it was most certainly the intention of the Government to go on with it. Lord REDESDALE said he had been told by a person intimately acqUainted with the proceedings of the other house, that if they continued the consideration of the esti mates at the present rate, they would get through them in about two years. (Laughter.) After a few words from the Marquis of CLANRICARD s, Lord REDESDALE protested against the needless waste of the present session. Her Majesty, he said, had shown that she considered them excessively slow, and instead of waiting for the close of the ses sion, had taken her own holiday, and had gone off to Scotland. The question was not how many days re mained for their lordships, but as many noble lords had left town, it would be seriously prejudicial to the public service if important measures were pressed forward at the present time. After a short conversation, in which the Dukeof Argyll, Lord Monteagle, and Lord Denman took part, the subject dropped. POOR RELIEF (IRELAND) BILL. Lord WODEHOUSE moved that as regards the Poor Relief (Ireland) Bill, inasmuch as the Poor Law Commis sion in Ireland will, if not renewed, expire at the ease of the present session of Parliament, the' circumstances which require legislation on this subject appear to this house to be of such real urgency as to render the immediate consideration of the same necessary. The noble lord took the opportunity of referring to many clauses of the bill, and remarked that, with regard to clause 4, which prohibited a man occupying a quarter of an acre of land from receiving outdoor relief, he did not think that it would be desirable at the present period to press that enactment on their lord ships if they had any objection to it, but he thought it very desirable that the third clause, which referred to placing infants out to nurse, should be retained in the bill. Lord MONTEAGLE said he had great objection to the third clause, because it was in effect breaking the tie be tween parent and:child. He thought the clause ought to be withdrawn, at least for the present. The Earl of WESTMEAT 'said if the clause referred to by the noble lord were withdrawn, the affair would become a job. He thought a proper place ought to be pro vided in the workhouses for the reception of infants. Lord REDESDALE said he objected greatly to certain clauses being placed in continuance bills, and next session he should move a standing order to meet his objection. He could not think that either the third orfourtli clauses, which created quite a new system, were such as ought to be proceeded with on the ground of urgency. He had no ob jection to the second clause, and he should move an amend ment to secure the continuance of the act till next session, but excluding the third and fourth clauses from the bill. Earl GRANVILLE did not think that the bill was ,echnically what was called a continuance bill. [LEFT SPEAKING.I HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(Tnis DAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at half-past twelve o'clock ; the house not having been formed before._ PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a third time and passed : Beauchamp Almshouses Estate, Domvile's Estate, Duke of Norfolk's Estate, Earl of Longford's Estate, and Gins tiniani's Naturalisation. SUPPLY. The house went into committee of supply. On the vote of £100,440 for the maintenance of the Royal parks, Colonel DUNNE said that he drew the attention of the house yesterday to the enormous taxation for purely metro politan purposes. It was too late this session to bring the matter before the house, but he gave notice that next ses sion he would do so. In the meantime he would move that the vote be reduced by £lB,OOO. Sir J. SHELLEY referred to the observations of the First Commissioner of Works yesterday, who blamed hon. members who had differed from him in regard to the Ride in Kensington-gardens, and he accused these hon. members for the part they took in the agitation on this subject, of being influenced by a desire of popularity. He had also to complain of the attack which the hon. member had made on the vestries of the metropolitan parishes in reference to this matter. Now, from the position in which the metro polis was placed, the vestries were the guardians of the public interest. He did not consider that in those remarks the right hon. gentleman was likely to acquire much popu larity for himself or for the Government of which he was a member. He very much doubted whether the right hon. gentleman, who was cap-in-hand to the Town Council of Hertford, would treat the expression of an opinion from the constituency of that town, which had the honour to return him to Parliament, with so much disregard. He denied that the agitation in the metropolis on this subject was one-sided, for the aristocratic vestry . of St. Gearge's had memorialised against the altera tions in the gardens, which they called " Cowper's Folly." (Laughter.) He also adverted to the mode in which memo rials in favour of the alteration in the gardens had been got up, and read an advertisement which appeared in the Times addressed to persons who wished to sign a memorial to the Chief Commissioner of Works on the subject. The adver tisement stated where the memorial was lying, and said if it were inconvenient to persons to attend there they might forward their cards or signatures by post. He strongly protested against signatures obtained in such a manner. With respect to the ride itself, if it was to be a continuation of Rotten-row it must be widened to a conei derable extent, and he would ask the right hon. gentleman if he considered that a gravel road of such width would be an improvement to Kensington-gardens. And yet in order to render it a safe resort for equestrians it must be so widened. lie thought, also, that they should have some explanation respecting the result realised by the sum of £17,000 voted for the Serpentine. He saw on the grounds fountains without water—or figures holding water cans — and unless the water was made to ascend it pould not flow through these cans. He would further wish Itir some state ment as related to the sum of £lB,OOO for the drainage of Richmond-park. Mr. B. COCHRANE expressed a hope that Storey's Gate would be thrown open, and strongly condemned the people generally being taxed to so large an extent for me tropolitan purposes. After some remarks from Mr. SMITH and Mr. BARROW, Mr. AYRTON said he would prefer seeing the matter placed in the hands of some metropolitan body, who would .be the best able to manage these' parks, and would relieve the Government from the trouble of dealing with them future. Mr. HENLEY was opposed to the opening of Store y 's Gate. Lord FERMOY said he thought that in respect to the parks, too much consideration had been shown for those who rode on horseback. If any agitation on this question had arisen, his right hon friend (Mr. Cowper) was the cause of it, because he was the innovator, and broke down what he (Lord Fermoy) though t a g ood custom, by depriving those who were unable to ride of a portion of the gardens. The right hon. gentleman had commenced a dangerous practice in appealing to the public on this subject, a game at which two can play. In the park he had seen the green men taking the cards of those who were in favour of the views of his right hon. friend. With respect to the vestries which had been attacked, it should be rentembered that they were the emanators of public opinion, attcl created by the elective element which the party of the right hon. gen tleman were generally supposed to look up to . He con cluded by hoping that this ride would be only temporary. After a few words from Mr. Alderman COPELAND and Mr. Wiewars Mr. COWPER denied that he intended any disrespect to hon. members or the metropolitan vestries. He was satisfied that the vestries of St. George's and Marylebone were composed of most respectable bodies when they discusssed matters which properly be longed to them. He had been a member of St. George's vestry, and he certainly must say the gentlemen forming it were most respectable and most practical men. What he wished to remind the house 9f in regard to the parks was that the vestries had nothing whatever to do with them. With respect to the popularity of this ride he found that there were more walkers its favour of it than horse riders. He made it his business to see what the ob jections were against the ride, and he considered that there was only one deserving attention, viz. that ,this portion of the park from a solitude had been converted into a scene of bustle and animation. In regard to that he would merely repeat what he had said yesterday, that he considered pub licity and not privacy was the more appropriate charac teristics of a park. As regarded innovation, his prede cesssors in office had also made many innovations, and when it was proposed to throw open the whole of Regent's Park to the public a great outcry was raised, but none of the evils that were predicted had occurred. He repeated what he had already stated, that he merely asked for the vote temporarily, in order to see how the alteration would work, and he reminded hon. members that the ride would be closed to persons on horseback at the end of the session. With reference to the Serpentine, the plan of Mr. Hawkesly was being carried out, and he believed the evils connected with it arose merely from stagnation ; conse quently, if a current were kept up, and water constantly sup plied from the well, a natural process would result and the foul matter would be oxygenised. As related to Richmond park, about two-thirds of it required draining, which was done at a cost of £6los. per acre, under the superintendence of Mr.JosiahPark, subject to the instructions of the bailiff. After some further dicussion the committee divided— For the amendment l5 Against it Majority -51 Mr. A. SMITH moved that the item of £9,629 :for Bat tersea Park be reduced by £2,600 for flowers, propagating pits, &c. Mr. COWPER thought the house would not object to the expense for flowers, and alladed to the dissatisfac tion felt when the shrubs were removed from Hyde Park. Mr. JOSEPH LOCKE said that he (did not object to the £3OO for flowers, but he was strongly opposed to an expenditure of £2,300 for the erection of a steam engine and the other apparatus for supplying water to the, park. Mr. A. SMITH consented to withdraw his amendment, and that of Mr. Locke's was substituted. Mr. CO WPER defended the vote, which he considered was not too large for the purpose to which the money was to be applied, and he would provide for its not being extra vagantly expended. The house divided— For the amendment.... Against 55 Majority —24 Sir J. SHELLEY considered that a larger sum than was necessary was about being voted for the drainage of Rich. mond-park, and he moved that it be reduced by 100. After a few word from. Sir G. LEWIS, the amendment was negatived without a division. The general vote for the parks was then put and agreed to. On the vote of £5,000 for the Probate Court and Registries, Sir J. SHELLEY objected to expenditure of that amount on the premises in Doctor's-commons, which were in so dilapidated a condition. Mr. COWPER said that the accommodation which would be provided for as regarded the courts iu question would be only temporary. The vote was for lighting, heat ing, and other purposes connected with different courts in the kingdom, and only a small portion of it was applied to the courts to which the hon. baronet alluded. The vote was agreed to. On the vote of £3,655 for the ordinary maintenance and repairs of British Embassy houses, Mr. WILLIAMS moved a reduction of £650 from the vote of £3,250 for the Embassy House at Therapia. Same irregular discussion ensued, which was interrupted, it being 10 minutes to 4 o'clock. The house then suspended its sitting. The house resumed at 6 o'clock: [LEFT SITTING.] LONDON GAZETTE-(THIS :EVENING). FOREIGN-OFFICE, AUG 7. The Queen has been pleased to approve of M.
