BAILWAY _INTELLIGENCE.-- . ULSTER. The report of the directors of this company, re specting an extension line to Clones and Cavan, states that, in order to maintain friendly relations with neighbouring companies, an arrangement was entered into between the Ulster and Dundalk and Enniskillen boards, under which the Ulster Com pany were to make a line of railway from Armagh to Monaghan, the Dundalk and Enniskillen Com pany undertaking to construct a line from Mona ghan to a point on their own main line, near Ballybay, and to complete a line from the same point through Cootehill to Cavan. Pursuant to this arrangement the line to Monaghan has been made ; and the Dundalk and Enniskillen Company in the session of 1855 applied to Parliament for an Act to authorise them to carry out their portion of the undertaking. In consequence, however, of un expected difficulties of a very serious character, they were at that time obliged to give up the line from near Ballybay to Monaghan ; but to insure the completion of the arrangement a clause was inserted in the Act then obtained. Under the sanction of the Board of Trade, and. with the assent of the Ulster Company, the Dundalk Company postponed the construction of their portion of the extension line. The question of the best line for the district, and for the interest of the companies con cerned, having been opened in discussions at a meeting of the boards of the Dublin and Drogheda, the Dublin and Belfast Junction, the Ulster, and Dundalk and Enniskillen Railway Companies, the basis of an arrangement was suggested, which, after many anxious meetings held to consider and discuss modifications and details, had been concluded, subject to the sanction of the shareholders of the various lines. The heads of the arrangements between the Ulster Company, the Dublin and Drogheda, the Dublin and Belfast Junction, and Dundalk and Enniskillen Companies respecting the making of the line from Monaghan to Cavan were as follows :-1. The Dundalk and Enniskillen Company was to obtain power to abandon the line from Shantonagh, near Ballpbay, to Cavan, saving the portion between Shantonagh and Cootehill. 2. The Ulster Railway Company to be at liberty to obtain an act for constructing a line of railway from Monaghan to the Dundalk and Enniskillen Railway, at a point to be deter mined by the engineers of the two companies, at or nepr Clones. 3. The Dundalk and Enniskillen Company were to obtain power to construct a line from their main line, at a point about one mile and a quarter west of Clones, via Belturbet, to Cavan, there to join the Midland Great Western on the level. 4. Clauses were to be inserted in both bills, giving the two companies all reasonable facilities for their traffic and protection from competition in as full and ample a manner as Parliament might sanction, in respect to trade to or from any of the stations between Monaghan and Cavan, both in clusive. 5. The Ulster Company were to subscribe one-fourth of the capital, not exceeding £30,000, required for making the line between Clones and Cavan ; the Dublin and Drogheda, and the Dublin and Belfast Junction Companies each to subscribe £20,000 ; and the Dundalk and Enniskillen Com pany to subscribe the remainder of the capital re quired. Separate books for capital and revenue accounts were to be kept of the expenditure and the earnings of the line between Clones and Cavan under this agreement. The net profits were to be divided among ' the subscribers in proportion to the sums subscribed by each. Two directors, appointed by the Ulster board, were to be added to the Dun dalk and Enniskillen board, for the purpose of superintending the expenditure of the capital, the managing of the line, and the keeping of the sepa rate accounts. The directors of the Ulster Com pany recommend the shareholders to adopt this arrangement. The proposed line to Clones would intersect the Dundalk and Enniskillen Railway at a point which would give to Enniskillen and the districts westward of it easy access to Belfast. The extension from Clones, via Belturbet, to Cavan would provide railway accommodation to a rich agricultural country, and be very nearly the shortest line between Clones and Cavan that could be made. The line from Monaghan to Clones would be completed for £150,000. In going to Parlia ment next session the directors proposed that powers should be obtained to enable the company to raise money to contribute £40,000 towards the extension from Dungannon to Omagh, subject to the sanction of the proprietors ; £25,000 to provide additional working stock for working the Ban bridge and other lines, £35,000 for doubling the Monaghan line, and other sums for the enlarge ment of stations, so as to make their undertaking complete ; with this view they propose to issue 18,000 shares of £l2 10s. each, allowing interest at the rate of 3 per cent. per annum until the opening of the new lines, then to take dividend with the ordinary shares ; also powers to convert the deben ture debt into a 4 per cent. debenture stock. LONDONDERRY AND COLERAINE. The report of the directors of this company states that, having explained at the general meeting in May last that the railway had been leased to Mr. Mtormick by the Exchequer Loan Commissioners, and a net revenue thereby secured, it was unneces sary to allude either to the traffic carried or expense of working. The directors have endeavoured to prepare some plan by which the obli g ations of the company might be arranged, an considerable efforts have been made to effect this object ; but the capital expended having been much increased by the losses sustained in fairiires to reclaim land, and the revenue (in consequence of the line of railway being made by the side of the slob, and through a very thinly populated district.) having been small, it had been found impossible to the present time to adopt any complete system to lay before the share holders. The principal debenture holders had pro posed to reduce their interest from 5 to 4 per cent. per annum, to capitalize the arrears of interest due to them at 2 per cent. per annum, and to advance money to pay off the overdue interest to the Ex chequer Loan Commissioners, at 5 per cent. per annum. It was also proposed to capitalize the mortgage debt due to the Commissioners, and to obtain powers to issue debenture stock in lieu of the existing debentures. The directors were advised that 2,000 acres of Very valuable land could be readily obtained by simply building a wail at low water mark, the cost of which would not exceed £25,000; and on this being cpmpleted similar portions could be undertaken, and eventually large tracts of slob lands could be secured and sold. The financial position of the company prevented the directors eommeneing those works. They were, however, advised that an inde pendent company, to whom the rights to reclaim Might be sold, could undertake them. By such an arrangement the sum Riven for the rights of recla mation might be paid over to creditors, and by those means the company would be partially re lieved from its existing debts. The capital account showed that £552,195 had been received, and .£562,465 . expended, leaving a balance against the company of £10,270. The revenue account from Ist Jan. to 10th April, showed that £3,808 had been received, and £3,562 expended, leaving a balance of £246. The balance due by revenue :n respect of interest amounted to £17,946 on the 30th June last. WICKLOW AND GOREY. The directors of the Dublin and Wicklow Rail- Way Company have issued a circular to the share holders -setting forth the reasons which have in duced them strongly to recommend the making, by the present company, of an extension to the town Of Gorey. The proposed line Will pass through the Vale of Avoca, and thus bring that mining district into direct communication, not only with Arklow and Wicklow, the two ports whence the produce of the mines is now shipped, but also with Dublin and Kingstown. The estimate given by Mr. Barnes, the resident director of the Wicklow Copper Mine Company, of the quantity of ore to be carried is 8 0,000 to 100,000 tons a year, without taking into account iron ore, of which, under certain contin- F, l e.n cies, about 50,000 tons a year might be added. The railway from Wicklow to Gorey will be about 30 miles in length. There being no great engineering dMeulties, its construction will not be costly. DUTCH RHENISH.

DONCASTER AND WAKEFIELD. It is proposed to construct a line of railway from Doncaster to Wakefield, commencing at the former place at the point where the main line of the Great Northern Railway crosses the canal of the River Dun Company, and proceeding almost in a direct line to the point where the Wakefield, Pontefract, and Goole branch of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway passes under the Midland Railway', in the parish of Crofton. The object of the line is to reduce the distance between Doncaster and Wake field, and thereby accelerate the traffic between the mineral districts of Lancashire and the metropolis and intervening places on the Great Northern route. - • _ _ FATAL, ACCIDENT NEAR CAMBRIDGE.) An accident which has caused a painful sensa tion in the took place on Thursday evening last near Quy-bridge, on the Newmarket road. It resulted in the death of a girl named Susan Butler, but from the circumstances and the position of some of the parties concerned great ex citement prevailed. A post mortent examination revealed that the death of the deceased was caused by concussion of the brain, a. slight bruise on the forehead and a graze (scarcely perceptible) down the side of the face being the only outward marks of injury. It will be seen that two gownsmen were involved in the transaction. Accordingly the Master of their College (Dr. Philpott), the tutor of the College (Mr. Jameson), and one of the proctors (Mr. Wil liams, of King's College), attended to watch the case on behalf of the University authorities. Mr. Fran cis, solicitor, appeared for Mr. Pearson and Mr. Hulbert, the gentlemen who were in the vehicle with deceased at the time of her death. Neither of these, or their other _^e nale companion (Clark) received any serious injury. Ilarriett Shipp (a little girl), said that she resi ded with her parents, on the Ditton Farm, near the place where the accident occurred. She said— About dusk on Thursday last, I was returning home, and when near the Ditton toll-gate I saw a tumbril cart on the road, going towards Newmar ket. Shortly afterwards I met a cart, with four persons in it. There were a lady and gentleman in front, and another lady and gentleman behind; the lady in front was driving; the horse was trotting very fast, but was not galloping. Jemima Everett said—l live with my father and mother, iu a road-side house by Quy-bridge. On Thursday afternoon an accident took place near that house. After half-past 5 a trap was upset there on the side of the road. I heard a noise of something falling over like a smash. I went to see what it was. It was getting dark and I could not see sofar up the road where the cart lay (about 100 yards). On reaching the spot I saw a horse and trap,. and then I saw two young ladies and two gentlemen. The gentlemen were after the horse and the ladies were both lying on the side of the road. Neither of the parties spoke to me, and I went and told my mother. When I first went out I saw a second cart, a sort of market cart. That cart was on the top of the small bridge (in front of the broken one), and on the right side of the road. There was a man and a woman in the cart on the bridge, but I cannot say if it was standing or moving. That cart was gone when I returned with my mother. One of the ladies kept groaning, but did. not speak. The same person was afterwards brought into our house. I was with her till she died, shortly afterwards, and she never spoke at all. The two gentlemen now present are the two gentlemen who were with the ladies. Eliza Everett (mother of the last witness) said —I live in the parish of Fen Ditton, at the house where deceased now lies. I heard no noise yester day until my little girl called me about a quarter to 5. I was up the close, and in consequence of her calling went directly to the road and found a horse and trap directly on a bridge a little way from my house towards Cambridge, with two gentlemen near it. I had heard no horse previously come galloping down the hill. I saw two ladies lying on the ground further up the road. towards Cambridge, and walked directly to them. I went to the one who is now dead, lifted her head up, and put a horserug under it. She was groaning very much, but did not speak. I then went to the other and tried to pull her up but could not, and sent the last witness for her father. He came, and he and the gentlemen got deceased. into my- house. The other lady had then got up and helped in the con veyance. Deceased. reached my house about an hour from the time I first saw her. One gentleman stayed with her, and. the other went to Cambridge for the doctor. The surviving lady kept saying to the deceased, " What a silly you were Sue, to drive." "0, silly, silly girl," and such like. She said deceased drove at such a tremendous pace that she (Clark) had hard work to keep on the trap, and said on the road that there would be an accident if deceased drove. The survivor said that the gentle men were perfect strangers, and she had never seen them before that day. Charles Bailey, of Fen Ditton, labourer—l recol lect Thursday afternoon last. There was boat racing at Fen Ditton. I was present. I saw a horse and trap (dogcart) leave Fen Ditton about ten minutes before five. It contained two gentlemen and. two young girls. They started from the Plough. A lady and gentlemen were in front and a lady and gentlemen behind. I had not been in the Plough, and do not know how long they had been there. The boat races were over at half-past four. When the girl who sat in front got into the gig she nearly fell backwards. It was a high step into the cart. John Lambert, of Trumpington-street, Cam bridge, livery-stable keeper, said—On Thirsday last I let a horse and trap to Mr. Pearson, St. Catherine's College, who is present. A gentleman named—l think—Mr. Hulbert, but a perfect stranger to me, was with him. They left together in the trap, saying they were going to the boat race. They started about two. About nine o'clock the gentleman called and told me an accident had taken place, and where ; and I sent for the trap. The horse was left with the latter. • The near shaft of the trap was broken off short at the splinter bar, the- right wing bent, and the leather torn off, and the . nave of the wheel was grazed. With those ex ceptions the cart was not injured. I have been a livery-stable keeper 10 years, and have been very unfortunate in accidents. If the horse had been driven at a furious rate more damage to the cart must have resulted. The horse was not even scratched; it was a quiet, steady animal, and has been out every day since. I drove it here to-day. I should say it had not been down.. That shaft appears to have been sound previously. The horse could trot 12 or 14 miles an hour ; 10 at a steady pace. He can do 12 fair trotting if he is just "put along." I should not call 12 miles an hour a dan gerous pace on a good wide road. The injuries the trap sustained are such as it might have sus tained if the horse was trotting 12 miles an hour. The trap was rather a high dogcart. It was built for me for tandem-driving. I have known de ceased some years. Gentlemen have hired horses of me for her. I have seen her in the management of horses many times both riding and driving, in town and country, single and a pair too. I should consider she was a particularly good whip for a woman. The other woman (Clark) and deceased have driven about together for years. Sarah Walker ias Clark), of Chesterton, deposed—l pass by the name of Clark. I knew the deceased, and was very intimate with her. We had been together a whole fortnight before the accident. She would have been 24 on the 26th of next Jan. I have frequently been out with her when she has been driving a horse and trap. She used to ride on horseback a good deal. She was well up in the management of horses. We breakfasted together at her house about half-past 10 on Thursday. I left her about half-past 11 at my house, to which we went after breakfast. She then returned home. I went on to Cambridge, and on my return to Chesterton, at half-past one, she was at her house, upstairs dressing. She called me into her bedroom. I remained with her about 20 minutes, and she pressed me to go with her to the boat races. I consented, after a great deal of persuasion, and went home to dress. We left Chesterton in a fly at half-past two. There was a glass of brandy and waterin her. bedroom while she was dressing. I did not see her drink it, but suppose she did. I saw her take no liquor before that. She did not, while dressing, appear as if she had been drinking. We went from Chesterton to the Plough at Fen Ditton. She smoked cigars as we want along. (The witness here became too excited to proceed, but recovered after attention for some minutes and shedding a flood of tears. She then went on.) When we got to Ditton Church it wanted four minutes to 3 o'clock. When we got to Ditton Plough we went into the kitchen. She had a glass of cherry brandy, and I had a glass of brandy and water. We then went into the parlour, where she had another glass of cherry brandy, and we went across the green to the boat races. We were gone about 10 minutes, and then returned to the Plough. She returned with Mrs. Ford to the Plough. I and the latter went into the parlour, and she went on to the kitchen. She was gone about ten minutes, and then returned to the parlour. The two gentlemen into whose trap we got came in there. I never saw them before in my life. She had another glass of brandy and water in the parlour, and smoked a cigar. She had smoked another in the fly. She was smoking and drinking in the parlour about half an hour. She had more than one glass of brandy and water there. She had three glasses of brandy and water there, but Mrs. Ford drank with her, and one glass was upset, and the contents spilt. The two gentlemen (Mr. Pearson and his friend) were in the room when the three glasses were ordered ; th e y were i n c onversation with us. I them to take or r as d k F d the gentlemen whether they were walking one a them flying ' and she consented" ' The thinner of the He was . were behind, and deceased T m li c e y for said a i d drive.th ey had Th a e v consented, trap, and las a k n e d d and myself also asked . deceased to go, tsNo and the other in front and one 'of the gentlemen sitting (Mr. Hulbert) g on the driving side. As we were going to the trap, dseaciteia7disaid, was in front. " Who is gointo sit in front ?" said, "N o, if I go I shall go in front, and .; drive." They very much wished her not to d shall drive, but she would, and when on the road they h e .,: e e c i of her to give the ; erns up, but she would not. ih 3 got in first, and the reins were given to her by a lad who was standing by. I believe she was then excited by what she had taken,.or she would not have driven. She was not drunk, however. She did not drive fast at first, but when near the turn pike she whipped the horse, and drove through the turnpike-gate galloping. She turned on the high road towards Cambridge, but then turned back and drove through the Newmarket-gate towards Bottisham. (These gates are in close proximity.) She then went quietly some distance, and then would whip the horse again and urged. him on to the gallop, and the latter continued galloping up to the time of the accident_ I several times begged her not to go so fast, as I said I could harldy hold on. I told her I was sure there would be an accident if she did not give up the reins; but she would not. The gentleman next her attempted to take the reins from her, but she snatched them away. There ,was a cart close to our trap in front, but whether she ran against it or not lam not able to say. I felt a jerk and was thrown out instantaneously. The gentlemen gave her no permission to drive, but wished her not several times. She said, " I can drive. I know how." William Everett reside near the scene of the accident. I have worked en the road 27 years. I saw the road after the accident, the marks of the wheel, the place where the nave of the wheel had struck, and the deceased lying On the ground. The place where the accident took place is in the parish of Fen Ditton. When I got up 1 found the horse and trap nine or ten yards from the body and on the opposite side of the road. Lambert being recalled, said that the near wheel of his vehicle bore no perceptible mark of having come into collision with anything else. The coroner having summed up, the jury returned a verdict of " Accidental Death," the foreman add ing that they were of opinion the death of the de ceased was attributable to herself alone. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, own, and that she had received it as rent for two cottages, but where the cottag es were situate, or from whom she received the me 'ney, she declined to say. When she was taken to the House of Deten tion she appeared hale and hear ty, but she had since simulated a complete prostratio; aof the system, and compelled the officers to carry her to and from the van, and from cell to dock. The se rgeon had seen her daily, and was so satisfied that it was all sham that he ordered her nothing beyond the ordinary diet. She now pretended to be so ill as to be scarcely able to speak, but what she did say g reatly aggravated her offence, for she threw out imputations of the worst character against the poor old woman whom she had so cruelly robbed, which were completely refuted. A scent bottle, which was kept in the same box as the money was also found upon the prisoner. She was found guilty and sentenced to six months' hard labour. Two boys, named William Brown and Thomas Jones were indicted for stealing a handkerchief from the person of a man whose name was un known. Mr. J. P. Doyle prosecuted; Mr. Metcalfe was for the defence. The case rested upon the evidence of police-con stable 114 H, who stated that on the afternoon of Oct. 24, he was on duty in Commercial-street, Spitalfields, when he saw Yonesfollow a gentleman, put his hand in his pocket and take out a hand kerchief, red and white spots, - .which .he passed to Brown, and they both ran away. He pursued them, but was stopped by a mob, and they got clear off, but knowing them he took them into custody subsequently. He swore he saw the handkerchief taken. Mr. Metcalfe cross-examined the witness, and in his address to the jury commented upon the manner in which he answered the questions put to him. It was a case, he urged, in which an acquital would be a most proper result. The jury found the prisoners not guilty. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.—Nov. 16. (Before 11r. Pashley, Q.C., Assistant-Judge, a 1 - Westminster.) Fredk. Wright, 30, porter, was indicted for hay ing unlawfully incited one Joseph Parker to felo niously steal certain goods and chattels the pro perty of the Great Western. Railway Company, his employers. He surrendered. Mr. Digby was for the prosecution, Mr. Sleigh appeared for the prisoner. Joseph Parker stated that he was a porter in the service of the Great Western Railway Company, and had been so for two years and a half. He had known the prisoner as a fellow-servant for about 1,8 months, who was now in the service of one of the carriers, and had to perform his duties at Pad dington. On .the 4th Oct., between 7 and B'in the evitting, he was going to unload a van belonging to the prisoner's employer, the prisoner being there to cheek the goods as they were taken out. The prisoner (the witness deposed) called me on one side, and said, " Would 3-ou like to earn a sovereign ?" I said " Yes, it would be very acceptable." He said, "If you will bring me a chest of tea or a hamper of wine, or anything of that sort, I will give you a sovereign ; bring it to the tail of the van." I said I would have nothing to do with it, and he then said " Perhaps you will consider of it by the time you come back." I had to come back to the van. When I came back he said, " Is there any chance ?" I said " No, and I'll have nothing to do with it." Tomp kins and another man had come with the van. (Tompkins was tried at the last sessions for stealing a chest of tea and acquitted.) On the Saturday afterwards I saw the prisoner talking to another porter named Morris, and I then reported to the foreman what had occurred. I did not give infor mation sooner because I thought there was" a plant on." The prisoner would have no right to go to the trucks where the hampers were; that was my duty. Edward Morris, another porter, deposed that on Oct. 9 he was at the scales weighing some goods when the prisoner came up and asked him why he did not get something. He took no notice of it, and reported it the same evening. The foreman under whom the prisoner acted stated that it was the prisoner's duty to load "up " goods of a morning and " down" goods of an evening. He had no business to be on the platform except with his own cart, and he had no authority whatever to tempt the company's servants to test their honesty. All instructions he was to obey were given by the witness. Mr. Sleigh, in his address for the defence, sug gested that the prisoner had acted, not with any intention of inducing Parker really to commit a felony, but merely for the purpose of testing whether certain of the company's servants were honest. It was, no doubt, a foolish and indiscreet thing to do, but that was all ; he had never contemplated any thing of a criminal nature. He was a man of excel lent Character, and, under the circumstances, the learned counsel submitted there was a clear way to an acquittal. The Assistant-Judge summed up, and the jury, after some consideration, found the , prisoner not guilty. Mary Ann Davis, 23, was indicted for having stolen a purse, a £lO Bank of England note, three sovereigns, and other moneys, from the person of Samuel Bennett. Mr. Tindal Atkinson prosecuted ; Mr. Ribton was counsel for the defence. The prosecutor was a police-constable, No. 501 N division, living in Sheppard's-place, Homerton. He stated that on the 29th October he and a com panion, one Edwin Wm. James, also a police-con stable, were out on pleasure. They went to the Polytechnic Institution, and in the evening they were at the Highlander publichouse, in. Dean-street, Soho. Of course they were in plain clothes. They there met with the prisoner and another woman, whom they treated. He had with him £l6 odd, consisting of a £lO note, six sovereigns, and some loose silver. From that publichouse they went to the Nag's Head, in Oxford-street, the, two women and his friend. They went into the concert-room and had more drink, for which he paid. He took out his purse several times and once changed a sovereign. They remained there till about nine o'clock, when they took a cab. He told the driver to tale them to the Cheshire Cheese, Vinegar-yard, Drury-lane, but he drove to Caldwell's publichoase, not the dancing-rooms, in Dean-street, Soho. He there called and paid for a pint of wine, and after drinking that they again got into the cab andwent to the Red Lion and Still, in Drury-lane. By that time he was " half seas over," the effects of the drink and perhaps the shaking of the cab. Before he got into the cab his purse and money, he could swear, were safe in his pocket. He did not miss his money while he was in the cab ; but when he got out and put his hand in his pocket to pay the cabman he missed it, and he at once accused the prisoner, who had sat next him, of having stolen it. She said she had not got it, and had never seen it. He borrowed 2s. of his companion to pay the cab, and the landlord sent for a constable. The prisoner and the other woman were charged, but the latter was liberated by the magistrate when the case was. heard. The prisoner was very violent on the way to the station. It was true he was " half-slewed, ' but that was all. He knew what he .was about. His friend was drunk, so much so that his evidence was not taken. Mr. Ribton—What medal is that you have on your breast ? Prosecutor—The Crimean, sir, for my services in* that campaign in the Royal Artillery. (In answer to the learned counsel.) On this occasion I went out to enjoy myself. The number of the note was 99,723. I don't see why I should say where I got_ the money from—l am not ashamed to say where I got it from. It was a legacy, and I received it the same day from a provident society. The reason I treated them so liberally . was that it's soldier-like, and I've done the same in foreign countries where we've drunk wine by the quart. I did not kiss the prisoner in the cab, and on my oath I did not make any proposition to pass the night with her. I can swear, and do swear, that I did not drop my purse, nor did I give it to her ; she stole it. Pigott, 114 F, deposed to receiving the prisoner and the other woman in charge. In one hand of the prisoner he found £1 16s. 6d., and another con stable detected her in the act of trying to get some thing from her bosom to her mouth. He took hold of her hand and grasped it tightly till they got to the station. There, she refused to open her hand, and it was forced open, when they found the £lO note, No. 99,723, and a shilling. Hannah Green, the female searcher at the Bow street, said she searched the prisoner when she was brought in, and found upon her some silver wire, a portemonnaie, nine sovereigns, and some smaller money. The prisoner stated that the pro secutor gave her what she had. Mr. Ribton contended that it was consistent with the circumstances of the transaction that the pri soner had picked up the purse, or that the prose cutor, being so drunk that he did not know what he was doing, had given it to her. The jury found her guilty. Sentence was deferred, as she has yet to be tried with a man named Shaylor for shopbreaking, and stealing 110 oz. of silver wire. That found on prisoner proved a portion of some stolen from the premises of Mr. H. W. Johnson, of Clerkenwell. Eliza Barter, 40, a nurse, was indicted for steal ing the sum of £7 155., the money of Elizabeth Hardin g. Mr. Cooper prosecuted. The prosecutrix was a poor elderly woman, liv ing at 15, Pitt-street, Fitzroy-square. She had given the prisoner part of her bed out of charity, and to show her gratitude the prisoner took an opportunity to ransack a cupboard and steal a sum of money which the prosecutrix had hoarded up to pay her rent. The prisoner impudently declared that the money which.was found upon her was her POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(Nov. 16 . ) BOW-STREET.—Henry Brown, or Broughton, - a relative of the notorious family of the Donovans, who have so often been brought to this court for Violent assaults, was charged with stabbing Mr. Simplon, a traveller, with intent to do grievous bodily harm. 'ln order to provide for• the contingency of lock jaw setting in, and giving a graver aspect to the case, the prosecutor's depositions were fully taken down and signed. The prisoner was then,zemanded for further exa mination. Mary Am Poole, a woman of bad character, was charged with stealing a gold chain worth £8 fro m Mr. Thomas Dunn, of Manchester. A cabman named Scully said he was with his cab on the Bridge-street rank about 4 o'clock that morning, and was hailed by the prosecutor, who was accompanied by the prisoner and another woman, now in court. They all got into the cab, but, observing that prosecutor was not sober, that his dress was in disorder, and that his watch chain was hanging loose from his pocket, witness " did not like the look of it." Prisoner told him to drive to Princes-street, Drurv-lane, but he replied " I'll do nothing'of the sore' She then ordered him to drive to the nearest public-house, which also he re fused to do, adding, as he observed the prosecutor's chain in her hand, " I will not allow any robbing in my cab." She assured him it wa s " all ri g ht, " but he expressed his conviction that it was all wrong, and declared she should not leave the cab till a .policeman could be found. Prosecutor asked her to give him back his chain, but, though he offered to give her £5 for it, she denied that she had it. The • other woman said, "I saw you take it off his neck." Shortly after a constable (Steadman, 156 F), came up and took her in charge. She still denied it, but the constable felt it in her bosom, and made her pro , duce it. She then said the prosecutor gave it to her. The cabman's statement was confirmed by Mr. Dunn, the prosecutor ; by Elizabeth Wilkins, the woman who was with the prisoner in the cab ; and by the constable Steadman. She was committed for trial. MARLBOROUGH STREET.— Mr. Beaslon gave judgment in a case arising under the new Building Act which excited great interest, as it affected a large amount of house property in the metropolis. The outline of the case is this I.—The back-yard of a house in Charles-street, Middlesex Hospital, was roofed over with a skylight as high as the first floor. This was held to be an infringement of that clause of the Building. Act which enacts that dwel ling-houses shall have a certain space open behind, in order to furnish a due supply of air and ventila tion to the house. Mr. Jennings, the district surveyor of Maryle bone, attended to support the summons. Mr. Beadon--This case is before me as to the construction of the 29th section of the 18th and 19th Victoria, chap. 122—the Building Act—and certainly is a question of great importance, as stated by the district surveyor, Mr. Jennings, inasmuch as my decision will affect a very large amount of property in Charles-street and that neighbourhood, where most of the houses are being converted into warehouses or shops on the whole of the ground floors, while the upper parts are used as dwelling , houses, and the real question to be decided is whe ther the words " dwelling-house" in that section must necessarily comprise the whole of this build ing. The house is entirely lighted from Charles street on the front, and from the first story up wards well lighted at the back. The ground floor in front is a shop for pianos exposed for sale, communicating with a small room, which originally vas about two-thirds of this court, bounded by high external walls, but having a sing), area to the east ern side. That area hai been recently covered in, the small room and small area being converted into one warehouse -room amply lighted by a large sky light, and I am to decide whether this is to be con sidered part of the " dwelling-house" so as to oblige Mr. Hills to leave an open space in the rear or side of this warehouse equal to 100 square feet, for the purpose of ventilation and air. Now, I apprehend that this section of the Act was intended to apply to " dwelling-houses" where the inner rooms were lighted by a false light from the front rooms, were used as bedrooms, and could by no means get light and ventilation in any other way, except they were forced to leave an area from which such external light and ventilation might be obtained—and I cannot help observing that there seems to be no power in the Act to enforce ventilation from the area when left—though no one would pro bably neglect it. as it would increase the value and comfort of the house ; but in this case there would be no necessity for such ventilation, as the sky light would be ample for all such purposes; and the area left might be a useless cal de sac, and the receptacle of nothing but dirt. Now, it is admitted that this new room is not, nor is it in tended to be, used as a dwelling-room, and though the words of the section refer to every room, I do not think that 1 shall be straining the fair and liberal construction of a very stringent act by deL ciding that the words mean every room in the dwelling-house, and that this new room is and is intended to be a warehouse, and forms no part of the dwelling-house. The summons.will therefore be dismissed. Mr. Tarnngorchitect, who attended for the de fendant, said that he considered the public-at large were greatly indebted to the magistrate for the pains he had taken to understand the act. Mr. Beadon said he considered it was his duty to spare no pains ; he even made a personal inspection of the premises to arrive at what he considered to be the fair and proper construction of the act. • MARYLEBONE.--John Culpeck, a plasterer, residing at 46, Salisbury-street, Portman-market, was brought up on remand charged with having stabbed with a knife Amelia, his wife ; and also with attempting to terminate his own existence with the same weapon. The particulars of what previously transpired have already appeared. The weapon alluded to was produced, it is about four inches long, and has a sharp point. The additional evidence now given was that of Mr. Lawrence, one of the house-surgeons at the hospital, who stated that on examining the woman he ascertained that there was a wound in her neck 2t inches in depth, and he considered at the time that it was of a dangerous nature. The weapon had entered near to the carotid artery, and had it penetrated it death might have resulted. The evidence was read over, and the prisoner was committed for trial for stabbing with intent to murder. Geo. Pearce, a cabman, and Wm. Brooks were charged—the former with robbing a lady named Baron of a muff, a brooch, and a purse containing £1 7s. 6d., and the other with being concerned in the said robbery. The evidence, which was very voluminous, went to snow that on Saturday night last, between ten and eleven o'clock, the prosecutrix got into a cab at the house of a relative, 83, East-street, and desired Pearce, the driver, to take her to 12, Judd street, where her husband, from whom she had within the last few days separated, lived. He con veyed her thither, and was detained about ten minutes, when she directed him to drive her back to East-street. She was not well acquainted with the locality ; and after being driven about in various directions for some time, Pearce pulled up and handed her out of his vehicle. While doing so he. made a snatch at her gold watch -without gainitg NO MEMBER 17, 1858. possession of it ; but he stole from her her purse and the other articles mentioned in the charge. He drove off, leaving her in the street. At the period of the robbery there was another man, be lieved to be Brooks, on the box. From information given to the police the prisoners were ultimately taken into custody by Wheeler, 84 D, and denied the robbery. None of the stolen property has been found. The prisoners were remanded till Tuesday next. WESTMINSTER—Louisa Shaw was brought up for re-examination, charged with stealing ls. from her master. The particulars of the case have been previously detailed. Mr. Saunders, the prosecutor, said that as the girl had had'a week's imprisonment, and as he found she had hitherto borne a very good character, he now wished to withdraw the charge, and, with a view to her future advancement, would have no objection to take her into his house again until he could in some way provide for her. Mr. Smyth, from the office of Mr. De la Mere, for the accused thanked the prosecutor for his kind ness, and said that her former employer, a gentle man of position in the city, was present, and would willingly take charge of her. He submitted that _the best interest of society would be served by the poor girl's discharge. Mr. Arnold assenting, the girl was given up to her friends. We are .requested to state that there are two brothers of the unfortunate man Cape, who was murdered in Parliament-street, now living in Lewisham-street, Westminster, following the trade of working jewellers, and a statement having ap peared in the newspapers of Simon Cape, a working jeweller, having been charged with pawning watches intrusted to him to repair in the same neighbourhood, the brothers of Mr. Cape of Parlia ment-street have been mistaken for the accused, and have sustained an injury in their trade. It is but just, therefore, to state that they are in no way connected with the person alluded to. SOUTHWARK.—WiIIiam Nell, chief engineer, Thomas Bunn, carpenter, Robert Newby, George Weatherhead, William Saunders, Robert Otway, Charles Hall, and George Morris, assistant engi gineers and firemen, belonging to the Dragon steamship, trading between the port of London and Hamburg, were brought up for final examination, charged with having concealed in the fore-cabin 471 b. of foreign manufactured tobacco, and a gallon and three quarters of French brandy. The offence having been proved, Mr. Burcham told the defendants that he had no alternative but to commit them all, as the Act of Parliament was imperative. They must all be fined £lOO each, or six months, and their only chance of mitigation would be by petitioning the Commissioners of Customs. _ _ George. Wood and James Smith, two powerful, ill-looking fellows, were brought up for final exami nation, charged with breaking into the dwelling house of Mr. William Henry Smith, 83, Great Bland-street, Dover-road. The prisoners, who said they had been on a visit to a servant in the neighbourhood and were put out the back way, were committed for trial. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. WREXHAM RACES—MONDAY.
