'Ol ia 173 MARKET AI D COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, Two o'CLocK. The transactions in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets during the past few days have 50 been unimportant, and prices generally have ex -131 hibited little alteration. Tea has been inactive, St, the trade having shown an unwillingness to 5 operate. Considerable quantities are announced 25 for public sale during the week. For the better qualities of sugar there is a fair inquiry, st. and late quotations have been sustained, St. inferior qualities, however may be quoted ;'S rather cheaper. Coffee has met a moderate 20 inquiry, and prices of both Plantation and 1 0 Native Ceylon have been fully sustained. For rice there has been an active demand both for home use and for exportation, and a slight advance has taken place in the value of the better qualities. Saltpetre continues steady, and rum, fruits, and spices have been moderately dealt in at about former rates. The public saes of foreign and colonial wool aro announced for the 15th inst., when about 70,000 bales will be offered for public competition, consisting chiefly of Sydney and Port Philip wool. Tallow has been flat ; P.Y.C. on the spot has declined to 505., and last three months, 495. 61. to 495. 9d. per cwt. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday exhibited a very firm appearance, and prices of all descrip tions were fully supported. The sales amounted to 12,000 bales, 2,000 of which were taken by the Speculators, and 1,000 by the exporters. In Rail way Shares a fair amount of business was trans acted, and values slightly improved. A further dividend of 2s. 61, making, with the former payment, 7s. 6d. in the pound, has been announced to the creditors of Messrs. Sanderson, Sandem an , and Co., bill discounters, who auccumbed during the crisis. The liquidators of the affairs of Messrs. Maitland, Ewing, and Co., have also inti mated that they are in a position to divide Gs. Bd. in the pound, which will be the first distribution under their estate. Some other ;'similar pay rao-nts are expected ere long, the realisation of the assets of several of those who unfortunately sus pended at the same time making favourable pro gress. Although failures are still occasionally reported, there can be no doubt that trade, quiet though it may appear, getting healthier, and as the first half-year is over, and the long-dated bills negociated at its com mencement have been satisfactorily met, it is believed that during the next few months a marked improvement will take place. The applications for money in Lombard-street and elsewhere were still sufficient to impart activity to the general discount market. No further altera tion has taken place in the rates, which, however, must be considered easy, but the tendency is up ward, and the supply of capital is much less abundant than it was a few weeks since. During the payment of the dividends which commenced on Thursday, however, there may be increased easiness. There were no withdrawals of geld from the Bank of England yesterday, but the movement, it is presumed, has not yet ceased. The transactions in the silver market have be come limited, and the quotations remain steady. A. meeting of the East Anglian Shareholders is being now held, to ascertain the propriety of ap pealing against the decision of the Vice-Chancellor lately given against the company, in the case of Messrs. Goodwin and others. There is a decidedly better feeling in the English Stock Market to day. An increased business has been done, and a rise in prices has occurred in most descriptions of stocks and shares. The effect of the liquidation now in pro gress seems favourable. Consols are about 95j, buyers. for the Bth instant, and 951 ft for ac count. The New 3 per Cents. and the Reduced are about 95i ; Exchequer Bills, 31s. to 345. pm. ; India Bonds, 16s. pm. ; India Loan Debentures, 991; and. Long Annuities, la. Bank Stock is 220 i 222. • Foreign Securities are extremely active, and prices have advanced. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 95 1 i; ditto 4 per Cents., 1041 ; Spanish 3 per Cents., 441 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 1121 ; Sar dinian 5 per Cents., 882- 89i ; Brazilian 41 per Cents., 961 ; ditto Scrip, lg 11 discount ; Buenos Ayres 6 per Cents., 83 ; Grenada New Active, Lt 211 ; Mexican 3 per Cents., 20; Peruvian 414 Per Cents., 89 90 ; ditto 3 per Cents., 69. 70 ; ditto Dollar Bonds, 68i 70 ; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 45 ; Dutch `A per Cents. 65R- ; and ditto 4 per Cents., 1001. In the Railway Share Market this morning the transactions have been rather numerous, and prices generally have improved to some extent. Great Northern have advanced 10s. ; Eastern Counties, Great Western, Lancashire and Yorkshire, North 3 , Western, South Western, and South-Eastern, 11. ; 1 4 . and Caledonian and North British, 1/. 10s.

It is said that explanations have been demanded of the Viceroy of Egypt with reference to the loan which he is about to negotiate with an English house. The reason alleged for these Explanations is that the Pasha, in order to give a guarantee for the repay ment of the loan, eRn . vents, in fact, to an alienation of territory. TIM WHIGS AND THE INCOME TAX.—Mr.Wilson, o f the Economist. late secretary to the Treasury, and M.P. for Devonport, is generally considered to have found brains for Lord Palmereton's Government on financial matter. From Mr. Wilson's speech on Monday last, it is evident the Whigs had resolved to fix in perpetuity the • income tax on the people of England. Mr. Wilson sa id, "The best informed and reflecting people out of doors - were in favour of maintaining the income tax, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer might easily have main taioed the 2d. in the pound which be had abandoned." From this it is quite clear that if Lord Palmereton's . Government had continued in office we should have now been paying 7d. in the pound income tax, instead of sd. in the pound • and if the income tax is to ha abolished in 1860, it will be done by a Conservative Government. There is no hope from the Whigs. On Lord Palmer ston's banner ought to be inscribed—" War, Reckless Expenditure, and Jobbing."—Coventry Standard, H PiI&RKETS (This Day). RAILWAYS. Paid RAILWAU.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat OR the woolsack at five o'clock. THE JEW BILL. The Duke of MARLBOROUGH gave notice that when this bill was in committee he should move the in sertion of a clause prohibiting persons of the Jewish persuasion from giving advice to the Crown with respect to Ecclesiastical appointments. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition complaining of the absurdity of the present railway system, and praying for amendment. Tae noble lord also presented petitions from Manchester, Edinburgh, and other places, praying for an amendment of the law with respect to the rights of married women. The B'shop of OXFORD presented petitions from Fenny Stratford, and other places, against the abolition of church rates. ECCLESIASTICAL COMMISSION BILL. The Earl of LIA.RDWICKE brought up the report of amendments on this bill, and explained to their lordships the Patine of the several additions that had been made to the measure, relating to the rale, purchase, transfer !cc. of ecclesiastical estates in committee. The noble earl concluded by moving that the report be received. Lord RAVENSWORTH moved the insertion of the following amendment :—" That no appointment or ex change of ecclesiastical patronage under the provision contained in the Act of the 6th and 7th years of King Wrn. IV., chapter 77, section let, shall be carried into eff_ct without the consent in writing of the bishop of the diocese within which such ecclesiastical patronage so proposed to he appointed or exchanged shall be situate." The noble lord stated at some length his objections to various parts of the bill, but he complained more espe cially of the obstruction, he might almost say the spolia tion, of 24 livings, involving revenue to the amount of 16,000'. from the dioCese of Durham , to im p rove, the almost unendowed sees of Ripon and Manchester. Such a proceeding he contended was contrary to consti tutional as well as ecclesiastical rights. [LEFT SPEAKING-.] HOUSE OF OOMMONS.—(This Day.) The ! SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS BILL. On the motion for going into committee on this bill, Mr. T. DUNCOMBE asked the house to postpone the further consideration of-the bill. It slipped through a second reading in consequence of the mistake of the hon. member for Elinhurgh (Mr. Black) in not moving at the proper time a specific motion for its rejection. He moved the committal of the bill this day six months. The bill was disliked generally throughout the country, though it was supported by the Colleges of Surgeons and Physicians. Mr. COWPER said the petitions that bad been presented in its favour showed that a large number of the medical profession approved of it. Mr. HEA.DLAM would support the motion for going into committee, but he thought it would be impossible to pass the bill this session, unless a spirit of conciliation was displayed. Mr. HADFIELD thought there was not much chancre 'of the bill passing this session- Mr. WALPOLE considered the house should go into committee on the bill. If the objections to the bill could not then be got over, he would be prepared to suggest the best course to be pursued. Aft, r some remarks from Lord Eeeno and Mr. BLUM, the house divided. Tile numbers were : Fee going into committee kgaiust it Majority The house then went into committee. Clauses 1 and 2 were agreed to. Oa clause 3, Mr. T. DUNCOMBE suggested that this, eni the clauses up to 41, which established or provided for the expenses of the act, should be postponed ti;l the com• inittee had disposed of clause 41. It was right the house and the country should know what would be the cost of this " quackery," for sac's the bill was. It the forms of the house precluded his postponing them in a lump, he should move the postp mernent clause by clause. He moved the postponement of clause 8. Mr. COWPER said the clauses were so framed that no demand would be made on the public exchequer for its working. This was not a fair way to attack the bill, snd he hoped the hon. gentleman would not press his motion and thereby impede the progress of the bill. Mr. AY RTON asked his hon. friend not to press his motion. He had ascertained from many members of the medical profession that the profession generally were favourable to the measure. He believed the bill would be advaetageons to the people. Mr. lIA.TCHELL said the medical profession in Ire land were favourable to the passing of the measure. lie hoped the hon. geutlernan would withdraw hie motion. Mr. W. WILLIAMS said it was of the utmost im portance the committee should know the expense of working the bill, and if it was to be taken from the public purse. He had hoard an enormous sum men tioned as likely to be required over and above the fees to be taken under it. Every bill (with the exception of the Attorney-General for Ireland's last bill) for improv ing anything laid hold of the public taxes. Ho hoped the hon. member for Finsbury would press his motion. If the medical profession wanted a bid of this kind, let them pay for it, and not the public. Mr. BLACK considered there would be abundance of money to pay the expenses from this toes that would be received under the bill. Mr. HADFIELD complained that the bill excluded the professors of hydropatey and hoinceepathy. • eMr. T. DUNCOMBE said he should press his motion unless he had an answer to big question. Mr. WALPO LE said he agreed - with the hoe. member that the public money ought not to be charged with any of the expenses of this measure. As he road the bill the clauses would throw a charge on the exchequer, and he thought they ought to give the colleges power to im pose fees sufficient to pay the expenses. The whole frame-work of the bill proceeded on the assumption that the fees would b 3 sufficient to pay the expenses, and clause 41 preeosed to allow the Government to advance sufficient money until the fees were enough to pay the expenses. He thought it would have been Latter it the 41st clause had not been inserted, and when they came to that clause he should oppose it. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE asked the hoe. member (Mr. Cowper) it ho still persisted in his intention to retain the 41st clans: I Mr. COWPER slid he would omit the clause after what bad been said by the Home Secretary. • The amendment was then withdrawn and the clause was agreed to. Clauses 4,5, 6,7, 8,9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 were agreed to. On clause 15, • Mr. LIE A.D LAM mosed an amendment, that no prac titioners, but, such as hard passed an examination at the Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons, and received a licence to practise, should be permitted to register them selves under the bill. Mr. WALPOLE opposed the amendment. The committee divided. The numbers were— For the amendment.... ..... , ............... 21 Against it ............ Majority... ; The clause was then agreed to. Clauses 16 to 25 were also agreed to. On clause 26, Mr, HEADL A.M moved an amendment to add a pro viso that no person should be erased from the register for having adopted any particular theory. The amendment was agreed to, and the clause as amended was ordered to stand part of the bill. Clauses 27 to 40 were agreed to. Clause 41 was struck out of the bill. On clause 45, Mr. HADFIELD moved the insertion of the following proviso :—" That within 12 months after the granting of such charter to the College of Physicians of London, any fellow, member, or licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh, or of the Queen's College of Physicians of Ireland, who may be in practice as a physician in any part of the United Kingdom called England, and who may be desirous of becoming -a fellow or member of such College of Physicians of Bog land, shall be at liberty to do to, and be entitled to receive the diploma of the said college, and to be admitted to all the rights and privileges thereunto ap pertaining, on the payment of a registration fee of po unds to the said college, and shall be free from all stam p duty, in ease th e existin g stam p d u t y shall have b ee n already paid on the di p loma held by such physician from the Colleg e of Physicians to which be belon g s." The proviso, su b j ect to the Chancellor of the Exche - The remaining clauses after some verbal amendments q w u e e r r e 's a g a r p e p e r d o v t oa: was agreed to. Mr. HEADLA.M moved the inserti on o f th e follow ing clause in lien of clause 16 :—After the passing of this act the medical regist,ars shall, under the authority of the respective branch cou ncils, require p roof from ever y p erson who q be re gistered as such und er the proei sions of section 15 of the; act, that he has com p leted the age of 24 years, and that he has g raduated in arts and not applies uaied t t o o b e re gistered as a physician, and who is medicine, or in medicine, after having passed the exami nationa for a degree in arts in some university of the United Kingdom, or in some foreign university approved by the general council, or that his case come within of physicians of England, Scotland, or some special exception established by the general council, and that he has been examined by and has re ceived letters testirrionisl as a physician from one ot the Royal Colleges pposed the clauee, and it was no a" and has been enrolled as a member of that col lege. the inserti on o f the following Mr WALPOLE o t e i l v am e u d s re.:B. n, with o ut lot Pa shall,E, fs i o nnotwithstandin gmoved anything here con tained , be lawful for her M ajesty, by ch arter, to grant to the Royal the fitness of persons to practise as power to institute an d bold examinations for the pur pose of testing dentists, who may be desirous of being so examined, and to grant certificates of such fitness." The clause was agree d to. The house then returned, and the bill was ordered to be reported to-morro w (Wednesd ay ) . COPYHOLD ACTS AMENDMENT BILL. This bill passed through committee.

Since the defeats, reported by us last year, sue tained by the Crown at the hands of the lords of manors and other landed proprietors, commencing with that inflicted by his Royal Highness the Prince of \Vales as Duke of Cornwall, and their retreat before his Grace of Northumberland, we have now the gratification to inform our readers that in two cases which have since come before his Honour Sir W. P. Wood, the Crown has again been defeated. In one case, in re Alstow, as to the manors of Leigh and Prittlewall, in Essex, on the banks of the Thames, his Honour refusing an issue at law to try the right of the lord of the manor ; and in another more recent case, that of the Standishes and the Carlisle and Sillo'h Railway and Dock Company, last Sal turday, having granted an issue, the Crown retired from the contest, and allowed the purchase-money which bad been invested to go to the account of the lord of the manor. It is be lieved that they were in a great measure com pelled to adopt this course in consequence of another defeat which they had (a few weeks since) sustained at the hands of Sir John Harmer, Bart., before his Honour Vice-Chancellor Stuart and Baron Martin, Sir John distinctly proving his title to the land covered by water to the middle of the River Dee. It is to be hoped that as her Majesty's Govern ment have laid before bath houses an account of the proceedings of the Woods and Forests on in formations, they will at once also present to Parlia ment the papers both in the Prince of Wales's, Lord Vivian's, and Sir John Hanmer's cases, in order that, at all hazards, justice may be done ; and those whose estates are imperilled l;y the encroachments of the sea may be also declared entitled to all its profit, as laid down in the com mon law of England. Mr. Pycroft, the antiquary, may justly be con gratulated on the triumph of those principles which he has so long advocated. The attention of the landed proprietors in our mari'ime. counties should be directed to this subject, which affects the title to not less than 1,000,000 acres of land in Great Britain and Ireland.

The general comparison of the social condition of Scotland in this respect with other nations around us does not aff.rd as favourable a result to the land of John Knox as might have been expected, especially when the facilities afforded by Gretna-green are remembered. It appears that in Sweden only about 6'5 per cent. of the births are illegitimate ; in Norway, 6.6 per cent. ; in England, 6 - 7 per cent. ; in Belgium, 61 per cont. ; in France, 7 . 1 per cent. ; in Prussia, 7.1 per cent. ; in Den mark, 9 . 3 per cent. ; in Hanover, 9 . 8 per cent. ; while in Austria 11.3 per cent. of the birth! are illegitimate. -4411Cti. EXTRAORDINARY ADVENTURE OF THREE SEAM EN. A bare possibility has just been accomplished by three sailors. The facts of the case are as follows : Ou Tues day, June 15, the brig Isabel Beurmann sailed from this harbour for Port-an-Prince with a valuable assorted cargo, and on the next day the brig Caroline also sailed hence for Aspinwall. The latter vessel had proceeded about. 163 miles from Sandy Hook, and was about 150 miles S.E. by S. from Barnegat, when she discovered, on the morning of Saturday following, about 7 o'clock, what looked like an abandoned vessel. She sailed over close to the wreck and found her to be the Isabel Beurmann, which had evidently been in collision with another ship. Her sails were clewed up, her bowsprit broken Off, and in tow of the yes eel by the ropes forming a part of her rigging, and the vessel's port anchor was fastened in it so that it was afterwards found impossible to have them disentangled ; her mainsail was also trailing over her quarter in the water, and her foremast was damaged near the topsail yard ; but; worst of all, her starboard bow was cloven by a collision with another vessel several inches below the water mark, and the whole forward part of the brig had the appearance of having been severely shattered. John Porter, the mate of the Caroline, determined to attempt bringing the wrecked vessel to port, and two of the seamen, named John Johnston and William 'Thompson, volunteered him their assistance. The wrack was now boarded, and found to contain more than six foot of water in her hold, and to be leaking bully. In another half-hour she must have sunk, for her main deck was already on a level with the water. Captain IVhiteleury, of the Caroline, hove his own vessel to, and lay by all day, while the whole of his grew, with the exception of the cook, were eet to work on the wreck for the purpose of pumping her. A pump was soon got into working order, and the vessel was soon light ened and eased consida'rably, and finally, towards the even ing, all the water was removed from her hold. Tho next thing to be accomplished was to get the vessel into some kind of sailing trial. Old canvass was app:ied to the broken how to keep the water from returning to the hold. The jibboow, port anchor, and all the useless material con nected with them, were cut away, and now the Caroline bid the wreck and its navigators adieu. The three men being left to themselves continued the work of getting ready to sail, and at length she was got into a conditions for spreading the canvas'. A series of light breezes fortu nately prevailed, and blew from the south till the vessel at length arrived within 12 miles of S I.ndy Hook, when these on hoard were alarmed by the squall which passed over this city on Monday evening, but fortunately it did not strike tho wreck with much violence, and she con tinued her course until she arrived in the lower bay, was boarded by a pilot, and finally towed to the pier in the East river, at the foot of Pine-street. The vessel's stores were all found to have been removed when she was boarded, arel everything else was taken from her that was portable, with the exception of her boats and rigging. The value of the vosel and cargo is estimated at 40,000 dole. ' end of this a largo amount must go for sal vage to reward the brave men who risked their lives to reverie her from total eestruction. The vessel that came in collision with the brig was the whaling ship Spartan, which was reported as having run into the brig on the 17th by a vessel which arrived at Hobs - Ins.'s Hole. The Spartan was spoken by this vessel on the 19th, when it was learned that all the passengers and crew of the wreck were on beard the Spartan, bound for Nan ucket, and they were all well. No doubt the Spartan has by this time arrived at her destination. The following peeseagers railed in tho Isabel Beurmann on the 15th of June D.

Meyrick Beauloy Feild, 30th Regiment, was charged before the magistrates, at Rochester, with assaulting the police at Chatham on the 26th ult. Seve ral other officers were also included in the charge, but the police had not been able to identify them. About two in the morning of the 26th ult., the officers, who were in plain clothes, were in a dancing booth on Chat ham race course, when a fight took place, and the offi cers, who carried thick sticks, joined in. On the police interfering the defendant rushed on one of them and struck him a violent blow on the head. It was with great difficulty, and in spite of violent resistance on the part of the officers, that he was taken into custody. When that was done the officers attacked the station house with stones, one of which badly cut the eye of a policeman. The magistrates fined the defendant 201. and code. TH EBB Al !E Ti! CHI.. ;FS OF THE ,T Amid all the surprises, captures, and successful attacks made by our troops the Nana. Sahib still manages to preserve his liberty. A lac of pipets has beg i set upon his head, yet native cupidity has remained unassailable.. tie has now, we are told, managed to escape the " flying columns" of Oude, and, it is said, is on his way to the Deccan. Should such be th e case , h e m i g ht manage to do a good deal of mischief; and we can only hope that the Poouah peoplo will be upon their guard. Two squadrons of the 17th Lancers, two companies of the 18th Royal Irish, and one company of Was tiyes are to leave the Deccan capital for 'Janina in a few days. The cause of this m o vemen t ha g . not transpired. It is a small force, and, - without artillery, can effect but little good in th e wa y o f fighting. The authorities may, hovieve r ,' Itn oiv intend • where game is to be found, and to . laY hands upon it quietly. It is just po:sble that Janina is not the destination of this flying dbteoh.- ment at all, as we canna perceive what . s uc h a small force can be required for in that threat on. The name c f the field officer who is to command this little brigade has not transpired, and we tin• ders'and a good deal of mystry is attic lvd to the whole affair. It Would not at all surpriue,us to hear that government had received intelligence Of the . flight of Nana Sahib, and that this cultic:lin was about to be despatched to intercept him on Vie ft metier. We have always been of opinierahat.lte ul iinatelv shape his flight in the dire,ition of the Maliratta capit4. It was the home' of the family which he Ly ado ption represents, his friends and relations aro numerous in the place, and if he' could only once hoist hiis flag from the po,hwe of the Peishwa., even were it not allowtd to flatter . t in the bteeze for an hour, its moral effect, would ; be ttemendous.

Mr. Atkinfon, the counitel, then proceeded with ibe croam-exa , ,,ination of the witresa , >P, and elicited the fact that no blood w seen in the corn field utitil the ho,:y tray removed.

By Mr. k inson—l was married to my first husband, Page, at the parish ct.urch of Ila7ering-att--[3 , iwrr, Oto.. 26, 1347, and about nine months afterwards I wart married to Francis Smith. I never mentioned the f: ct ol the murder to any one until la t Angus'. I lir4 divulged it to Mrs. Noble and a Mrs. Pel ner of D...grE: was quite s :bar at: the time, and had only had 101 l a pint of beer.

I wa. in leer, and I could not have done so for 5,0001. if I had known what troubles I should taro enc metered. The wit:h. boors totnetnnes ray thtte is something that troubles me. I know a p , rmn named El at Wooluter, ai.d we have been very intimate togetti, ras t eighbeurs. I t.ll Mrs. Woolmer that I had horn my husband (Paq.) place a. box on the top of the bedstead under the valance. I opened the I, x and found 21. 10 .. I ef.trwarda missed the money from the bo x, and I did say I have heard my husband say that he hal shot a pH Johnny Barebl , ,ek and knocked off his hat. I had told 1%4 re. *ooltner of thestatement. Wh. n the fire took place at Vince's; premise , I always thought that my hu•band did iv. I have said th re was a fire engine in ley room, but it was a dreaa'. I have said that my husband's ghost followed me about. I saw him in three different cc tta,ge., aryl my eyes were wide op .n. I could see him as plain as neon day, but I did not speak to bin'. My husband told me in the hospital that If I said any .bing be would rise Irons the grave and crush me. I have told Mrs. Woolmer that when I have been taking my intelal have tat the elevil tapping the bottom of the chair. Through his threats to me I have really believed that the visita tious were through the devil from my husband. I have charged my husband with stealing seven sacke of pota toes. I know a Mrs. March and a Mrs. Palmer. I do:.'t recollect telling Mr , . March that I never went into Resvitt's house on the night of the murder, but I ran emit., an apple tree. The witness here became m uch excited by i by t tb e e him gu r e e s : li.oluf i sp h ut ad to c, li n er m b i y tte t d he a l i e e a m would tell the truth; r, right is right, but n rung is no man's tight." When she had somewhat calmed and regained her relf.possesticn the learned counsel proceeded with the c rosc-examination. — Mrs. Allsop, my daughter, resides qih a t t uesrah ß i ena r e tbke n ,na t ue e tw - ov ,13.ith 1 the l a l: l; u d ire„da l ges reho.af sincest- o hle v h i ma s t i vul t lo e re d 4b e h rgo e glt r i o.oc d rie 7 h f, a e ,.. ar v , : ey s nd p la : a ) ud k nge e eh n vat t eec o r; told any one that my husband struck Clarke with a fork. I have never raid that I held Clsrke'a head while my husband cut his throat. Ido not recollect saying that I thought my husband had lout the 21 10e. to George Blewitt. I did net say that my hu-bab cl. Ralph Page, and Me witt murdered the policeman. I had said that Bill told me that Bleaitt and Ned Wilcox were going to get some corn out of the barn. Blest - la came to me one Sunday morning, but I was afraid through fear to speak to him about the rumours that were in circulation. I bare told Blewitt in the presence of his son that when Bill died he never gave me a halfpenny, but his brother Bill gave me a shilling. 1 do not recollect saying that if he had given me one I did net know where the harm would have been, but it might cost him pounds. I did not say that if it had not been for the money I should not have done it. I I did not say to Blewitt, " I do not know who did it, but I wi.h I did," On the night of the murder I was at Blewi is house. I saw present the prisoner, my bus . band, and George Chalk. Ned Wilcox, to the beet of my knowledge, was not present. We all four left the house of Blewitt and proceeded to the barn. My hus band had a loaded stick in his hand when the police man Clarke came up the barn. I cannot say, when the police-constable came up to the barn, whether he had his cutlass extended in his hand, hut when he was being driven back the weapon wan drawn from the scabbard. While the struggle was going on between my husband and Clarke my husband called out very loudly for help. George IZlewitt came out of the barn to assist him. No one, to rey knowledge, came out but the man Biewitt and my husband. When my hustaud struck Clarke the latter used his cutlass. Other questions having bcen put by the learned counsel, The Chairman said if there was only fair ground for adj urnment he should feel bound to remand the pri soner again. more lDs e p v e i c d t e o n r e W e i h n ic a he w r e s e a k id . that he should n . o d oubt have Mr. Atkinson asked for the liberation of t he prisoner OD bail, but the magistrates refused the application. The Chairman said that be expected that th e P o l lee Commissioner would have employed counsel for the prosecution to take charge of such an important case, which was d a character that required every possible tmhee m ex b a e m rs in o eori of the bench unanimously con• our a tt en tion.
