This cause came on by way of demurrer to a bill by a shareholder iu the company, for the purpose of restraining the directors from accepting the surrender of shares in ex change for tickets of admission, on the terms specified in au advertisement of the 17th of February, 1858, and from is suing any tickets of admission on such terms, and from ad mitting any persons to the building or grounds on the Lord's-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 declared that the chl.rtcr w.in gro...tod 0.. , nnaition that no person should DO admitted to tee said building or grounds on the Lord's day, in c• sideration of a,.y money payment, whether made direcly or indirectly, unless the express sanction of the Legislature should have been obtained for admission on such consideration, and then only for the time warranted by the act of Parliament. By the Crystal Palace Com pany's Act, 185 G, the directors were empowered to agree 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. Tho Act also provided, that nothing therein contained should alter or invalidate the charter, or relieve the company from any covenants or conditions contained therein, except so f•ir as the charter was expressly varied by this Act. The question of the advisability of opening the gardens and grounds to the shareholders on Sunday afternoons was from time to time much discussed, and on the 7th of December, 1557, the direc tors issued a report recommending the conversion of the ordi nary and preference shares into tickets, entitling the proprie tors of such shares to a certain number of gratuitous admis- sions to the palace and grounds on all ordinary shilling days upon certain terms as to their use, 60 admissions beingadopted as the number in exchange for au 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 (lets to the ralace and grounds on Sunday afternoons after 1.30 as a gratuitous pri vilege, and without any money payment to be made directly or indirectly to the company for such privilege, the number of persons admitted by each ticket being, however, recorded upon it A resolution in accordance with the directors' re port was passed at an extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders on the s7th of December, 1857. An advertise ment was published in the Times 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 on Sunday afternoons, 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 th ese 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 directly and indirectly in respect of thesa tickets, as well from tke fee of 2s. ticl. to be paid on the surrender of each share as from the arrangements with the London and Brighton Railway Company, and otherwise. The company had demurred to the bill. Mr. W. 11, James and Mr. Hemming, in support of the de murrer, contended that neither directly nor indirectly would money b.; paid in respect of the Sundny afternoon admissions, which were to be confined to the shareholders and their friends. The condition in the charter must be construed strictly. It was intended to restrain the use of the palace and grounds as a place of public entertainment on Stmdays, but not to prevent the proprietors from availing themselves of their property in 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 payment for admission, and this statute was clearly imported into the charter and governed its application. The Solicitor-General and Mr. Busk, for the plaintiff, were not called on. The Vice-Chancellor 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 bo 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 sanction of the Legislature should have been obtained," &c. It did not even reserve to the Crown the power of relaxing the prohibition, and he could not accede to the argument that the charter was to be taken as simply importing the provisions 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 and 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 was not money, hut it was money's worth--an article of 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. Under the act of 1856 power was ob tained for the conversion of shares into life admissions. It was said that the directors would bo entitled under this act to extend the admission to Sundays, but there was an express proviso against any condit on in the charter being thereby altered or invalidated. All that was enacted was, that shares should be converted into tickets of admission, 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 mosey 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 notice of motion would be granted, restrainingt the defendants from issuing tickets so as to admit persons the grounds on the Lord's-day, iu consider ation of any money payment, directly or indirectly.

(Before Mr. Justice Williams.) Eliza Clout, 26, a good-looking young woman, apparently do him grievous bodhielryhhusarbman. Wm. Clout, with intent to far T a n d is v c a a n s c e ed w.a in s o p f re a gnancy, was charged with feloniously cut. Lilley co n d uc t e d th e prosecu tion. The prisoner had no counsel. very painful nature. It appeared that the prosecutor was a labouring man, living at Farnham, and he and the prisoner had been married for several years, and that the prisoner entertained a feeling of jealousy respecting her husband. On the 19th of October they had gone 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 pri soner 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 hus band in the back of the neck with a razor, and he bled pro fusely, and upon his being examined by Mr. Clark, a surgeon in the neighbourhood, it was found that he had received 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 appeared, the prisoner had brought from home for the purpose. Mr. Clark, the surgeon, stated, in answer to a question put by the Court, that a good deal of force must have been used to cause the injury on the neck of the prosecutor ; but be at the same time said he was of opinion that the object of the prisoner was not to take away life, or o!se she would have inflicted the injury in front of the throat instead of the back The prosecutor having given his evidence, said that he had been away from his home on the day before the occur rence, and had aggravated the prisoner, and they had both been drinking spirits to a considerable extent on the day the offence was committed. The prisoner, who appeared very faint and ill duffle" the 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 me ully with his wife, and said hews r ady to take her hamb3vith him if she were set at liberty. Mr. Justice Williams said it appeared to him that, having regard 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 Assizes, and, in the meantime, the pri soner would remain in custody, and be taken care of. Nothing of interest occurred in the Civil Court. NORTHERN CIRCUIT. —LIVERPOOL, March 26. This day the trial of Captain John Anderson Christie (master of the ship Elizabeth, belonging to Messrs. Tobin, of Liverpool), for the alleged murd r of Francisco Rode riquez, a seaman on board the Elizabeth, came on before Mr, Baron Martin, in the Crown Court, at Liverpool. Mr. Bliss, Q C., Attorney-General for the County Palatine, Mr. James, and Mr. Aspinall conducted the prosecution ; and the prisoner was defended by Mr. Tindal Atkinson, Mr. Fernley, and Mr. Peel. The following are the particulars of the case as detailed by the Attorney-General in opening the case on the part of the Crown :—ln June last the ship Elizabeth was on the coast of Africa, off New Calabar, and at this time the prisoner, who was then captain of the Faith, was transferred to the Elizabeth, along with three others, named respectively Jos.lolt Mitchell, who died, Alphonse 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 Catholic. He was, when he joined the ship, in good health, and in the full vigour of his age. He was entered as an able seaman, and was of the average capacity of seamen. The ship sailed from Calabar on the 24th of July, and nothing particular happened until about a month afterwards, when the prisoner commenced beating and kicking the deceased severely, and used the rope's end to him, and this was continued during the whole of the voy age until about a fortnight before the deceased's death. During this fortnight the deceased was lingering in his hunk, gradually approaching the term of his life. There were two beatings amongst the rest, to which ho wished particularly to refer. One 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 iu his 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 when the prisoner left him the deceased was in 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 wis never able to stand upright. He often complained afterwards about his beck, and showed it to the other seaman, who saw large lumps upon it. One day after this deceased was trying to walk on the deck, but was unable to do so, except very slowly. The prisoner follow , d him and told Lim to get on quicker, and on the deceased saying he was unable to do so, the captain kicked him severely, when be fell on the deck, and could not rise again. He then crawled into his bunk on his hands and knees, and from this time he never afterwards ff uitt d his berth alive, except on one day when the prisoner 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 affected, and after the most excruciating sufferings caused by the spine having been broken, and the other wounds and injuries he had re ceived, he died on the Ist of November, and was thrown overboard. The ship arrived in Liverpool cn ash or 2ik.A,,eualeL , N and immediately afterwards an ap prentice, named James aggs, went to too owner., aressrs. Tobin, and gave information of what had taken place on beard. An inquiry into the circumstances then t ok place before the local Marine Board, and this led to the in vestigation before the magistrates, which was f.,llowed by the facts of the ease being brought under the notice of the Board of Trade, who had directed this prosecution. The evidence of seamen of the ship, reported at length iu the preliminary examination held lat ly, was adduced in sup port of the learned counsel's opening remarks. The deposi tion of Francis Batten, the second mate, who tiled last week, was also put in and read as evidence. Mr. Thomas Inman, M D., physician to the Northern Hoe pital, Liverpool, was called, and said he had listened to the evidence which had been given by the witnesses who had already been examined, and he concluded that the deceased had bad abscess in the thigh, prodaced by kicking ; subse quently the chest became affected, and he had come to the conclusion that the deceased came to his death by au affect tion of the chest. The Judge—How was that affection of the chest brought on? Mr. Inman said it was very commonly brought on by injuries. Inflammatlin of the chest frequently followed in juries. By the Attorney-General—l am of opinion 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 the cause of death. I do not think it pose Me. Mr. Wall, surgeon at the Northern Hospital, corNbolated Mr. Inman's evidence as to the cause of death. By Mr. Ferneley—Was of opinion that the evidence showed that scurvy was not the cause of death.l The Attorney-General said that was the case on the part of the Crown. Mr. Atkinson then addressed the jury on behalf of the prisoner. The learned Judge having summed up, The jury brought in a verdict of manshiughter, and the Judge sentenced the prisoner to p:nal servitude for life. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.--March 26. GUILDHALL- 0 _IIARGE OF ARSON.—Wm. Henry Parker, a wholesale warehouseman and mantle manufacturer, of ::6, Moaktvell-street, City, was placed at the bar before Alder man Hale for further examination relative to the 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, fir the purfoso merely of watching the case, not with the view of withdrawing front it, bet in order that they might be able to conduct the prosecu 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 that course; and he therefore only proposed to call the necessary witnesses to bo examined by the Court in reference to the value of the property claimed for. Ho presumed there would be no difficulty with regard to the production of the policy. Mr. Sleigh (for the psi encr), 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 policy, or it should have been here, but if it were required it should bo sent for. A model of the premises alleged to have been set on fire had been very ingeuiously constructed by Inspector Foulger, and was now produced. The depositions taken on the former occasion having been read over, _ Inspector Foulger was recalled, and said—l have been to the premises since the last exam i na ti on , an d h ave ma d e th e corth rect eh t i o ew i e a ) t i . h • td e he s esd agas-burnercellarw i m two ifyi e tte d nh e pee l sosw p s o. c re l n u oh s c o e cuo c xs l f . eptlha l a u t ei omffit the i ew o ma n s oofafoeutlh,nadthe rCrelhae- Alderman Hale—l quite understand it. The model makes it very clear. Inspector Foulgor—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 tumid 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 brake it open, so that it would require two keys to open it. Mr. John Toner said—l live in Cloud esley-square, Islington, and am one of the agents for the W es tminster Fire-office. 0. the 15th of September, the prisoner ma de a proposal for in suring his premises at 30, Monkwell-street, for 1 ,0001 . , 900/. of which was for stock in trade and fixtures, and 100/. for household goods. C ross . ex amined—lt was through my instrumentality th a t 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—l am in the employ of MefFrs. Stagg and Mantle, of Leicester -square. I buy and superintend the mantle department. I went to the prisoner's premises on T ues day last, and examined the stock there. I have also seen the claim sent into the insurance office. There is a charge of 151. for trimmings , which I estimate to be only worth 5/. Th e charge of 31. for silk is, I believe, correct ; but the two of 61. 19s. 2d. each for cloth and plaid, are only worth 5/. each. The charge of 92/. for mantles should be about 40!.

PORTSiOUTH, FRIDAY NIGHT. The inquiry into this mysterious murder was resumed this night. Police -constable Webb and Inspector Daish having deposed to being called to the house on the night in question. Mr. William Leggett, superintendent of the borough pollee force, was then examined. He said, it eht , o'clock on the morning of the 14th inst. Inspector "high came to my house, and we proceeded together to the house of Mrs. Vick, sen., St. Thomas's-street. Daish had previotteky stated the circumstances to me, but on arriving at the: house I asked Mrs. Vick to detail to me thosecircnmstinces as they took place, and she did so in almost the seine words she has used in giving evidence to this court. I had been informed that there was money belonging to the deceased in the house, and that Mrs. Vick was in possession of the case which contained it. I naked 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 for 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 handle, so that it could not be slipped either way, and after tying the ends sealed them. I retained possession of the case. I then left and proceeded, with Daish and Barnes, to the shop of the deceased, where Barnes produced from some place of concealment, a cash-box. On opening that box we discovered between 91. and 101. in money. Immed'ately afterwards Inspector Daish and myself left town for Fareham, Hambledon, and other places to make inquiries ; but previously to that I had communicated 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, was. He said, " Yes." He produced it, and the box was opened in their presence. I did this for the sati,faction of the brothers. The le x was found to contain some papers, one bag containing three 101. and two el. Bank of England notes, and sixty-six sovereigns and a-half. On a further examination I discovered six small bags, each of which contained gold amounting to 40 sovereigns; the amount in the whole being 346/. 10s. I also found in the same box a will, which the brothers stated to be in the handwriting of the deceased. It was signed but not attested. , This being the whole of the evidence, The jury here briefly consulted, and, having agreed upon their verdict, the foreman said, our verdict is wilful murder against some person or persons unknown.
