IRELAND. DUBLIN, THIIRSDAT MORNING. OUTRAGEOUS CONDUCT OF AGRICULTURAL LABOURERS -GREAT DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY._ The ordinary quiet of the county of Kilkenny has been disturbed by riots of a nature not common in Ireland, and the Government has been obliged to send troops from the Curragh in order to quell the turbulence of the agricultural population. The tumult arose cut of the emplayment of reaping machines for the first tittle by several large farmers f in the district, which necessar il y had the effect abridging the labour usually gi ven at ,this teneti m e of x and the year to harvestmen, wh o travel to in the early s gr from e orn elsewhere from Connaught to get previous to embarking for En g land. It appear the reports furnished by the local jo toss f Kil urrinatbhethat on Sunday a large number of worker s assembled i kenny, waiting to be hired a fter chap at according . ustom. Exasperates on finding , however, t at bi nders only were required, and learning that this was owing to the use of reaping machines, which do the work of forty men per diem, they proceeded at once to the farm-houses of the gentle men who had procured these offensive implements, and committed the series of outrages detailed below. The peasantry are, it should be added, quite unfamiliar with reaping machines, and their anger at the results accomplished by them is, perhaps, natural. The following particulars relative to the riots are taken from the Kil kenny Moderator : "Oa Sunday last the principal streets of our city were crowded to an extent quite unpre cedented with agricultural labourers offering themselves for hire for reaping the harvest. There was, in addition to the labourers which the city and surrounding districts usually supply, and the accustomed contingent of Con naughtmen, a large influx of men from Tipperary and the King's and Queen's counties, so that, as the market was glutted, the farmers were for a time under the halluci nation that labour would be more cheaply obtained now than last season. However, it would seem that a combination had been entered into not to work under a somewhat exorbitant rate, and consequently, the overtures of the employers were fiercely scouted by the crowds, and those few of the labourers who seemed inclined to accept the moderate wages offered were set upon and intimidated by the others, so that the city was kept in a constant state of noise and turmoi throughout the day, and it was with difficulty the congrega tions repairing to and returning from their respective places of worship could make goad their passage through the blocked up thoroughfares, to say nothing of the risk which they ran of coming in contact with scenes of riot and uproar. No indication of any overt act of violence, however, was apparent till towards evening, when Mr. James Walsh, of Outrath, near this city, came into town to hire women as binders, he having supplied himself with a reaping -machine, and there fore not requiring reapers. Mr. Walsh was immediately as sailed by the mob, hooted and threatened in the most violent manner, informed that his machine would be broken to frag ments, and threatened with serious pains and penalties if he dared to put it to work. He was compelled to run the gauntlet of infuriated reapers, who hooted him and brandished their hooks over his head in the mast menacing manner, through High-street to the Victoria Hotel, where be fortunately was able to take shelter without receiving personal injury. Subsequently, however, the blocd of the turba vul9aris being up, they made serious threatenine demonstrations against more than one farmer who had the temerity to offer labourers from ls. to ls. 6d. per day for leaping, and the parties assailed were fain to take refuge in the police barrack, and, after remaining there for a consider able time in a state of siege, to steal home by back ways and bye-lanes from the town. The only very serious case of riot -which occurred during the evening was, we believe, one in Patrick-street, where a luckless farmer, having been hooted and pointed out as a leveller of wages' by a body of men, was assailed in roost Amazonian fashion by a phalanx of women—females of the most infamous character in the town leading the charge—and knocked down, kicked, and trampled on in the roost violent manner. An eye-witness describes the onslaught made upon the unfor; unate farmer as a most terrific affair, declar leg that. Le never expected to see the man get up again, had it not been for the assistance of a stalwart young man, who came gallantly to the rescue, drove away the viragoes who surrounded his friend, and :succeeded in leading him away, in an exceedingly bruised and battered c-indition." While these disgraceful proceedings were going on, the police and the magistrates remained quite apathetic, and the people of Kilkenny are described as exceedingly indig nant at their conduct. The mob then dispersed; but nest morning it assembled in stronger force, divided itself into two bodies, and marched out of town te destroy tte reaping machines wherever they could find them. Their destructive course is thus traced by an eye-witness:-- "OUTRAGE AT MOUNTRATII. " Mr. James Walsh, an extensive and respectable farmer, residing or Outrath, and acting as poor law guardian for altar electoral divishln, was on the land, superintending the .operations of his workmen in a large debt of wheat, some b, ing engaged with the obnoxious reaping inaelime, at .d others snowing a portion of the crop with scythes. The riotets approached tie field in three bodies, all proceeding in the same direction, alihouglr not exactly by the same route. Tney broke through fences, and made gaps in liedaes as they went, but seethed careful not to trample on wire corn crop, and evinced no disposition to do any harm to any one or anything but Dray's machine. The advance guard marched directly to where the machine was at work, nod wilt loud cheers at once proceeded to its demolition. The men in charge attempted no resistance, but. asked to be permitted to retaove the horses, lest the animals might receive injury in the operation of smashing the machine, and the mob graciously cendescended to grant the terms :asked, soffit - log the removal of the horses, and then wreak ing their vengeance to their hearts' content on the object of :their dislike. The composition of the irerolline being chit fly 4 f wrought iron and cest metal, they experienced some ditii citify at first in carrying out their object, as such stones as %vete to be obtained on the land were not heavy enough to permit of expeditious operations. However, having eon ttrived, with infinite labour, to break some of the meal wvheels into fragments, those weighty fragments supplied means of breaking up the rest, and so, haviug utterly de molished the machine, they marched off, carrying away wit's them the greater portion of the fragments. The men (engaged in mowing the corn had taken the opportunity, " 4 "fahii:t the rioters were engaged with the reaping :machine, to slip away with their scythes, which were sought by the mob before departing, but without effect, as they had, it appears, resolved to permit no reaping in the country with anything but the le.mk. The second body of rioters had arrived in time to take part in the work of smashing the machine, but all was over before the third had come upon the ground, and they seemed much tfisappointed that they were as yet precluied from joining in the morning's amusements. Mr. Walsh, from what he 'had seen and heard in Kilkenny the previous night, had apprehended that he might receive this unaelcorne visit in the morning, and had brought a loaded revolver with him to the field for the protection of Iris property. He was at the farther end of the field when the first body of rioters en tered it, and the moment they made their appearance some ft the women in his own employment rushed upon Mr. Walsh, pinioned his arms to his sides, and made a close pri soner of him w hilst the mob remained —not, as the y al leged, from having any sympathy with the rioters, but to prevent blood from being shed on either side. Consequently the praceedings here passed off' without any person receiving injury, and the mob having divided into two sections, one went through the fields in the Renuett's-bridge cr Pigeon's Park direction. "DESPERATE ATTACK ON MR. llowesoer. "The two sections into which the mob had separated at °wrath would appear to not have again re-united fur a considerable time. It would seem to have been the body which left Mr. Walsh's land and took their course across the fields that proceeded to the house of Mr. Howisou, the Nearest farmer who had provided himself with another of Dray's reaping machines, for the number of rioters there is stated not to have exceeded a hundred, of w h om no t m ore than four or five were women. Mr. Win. Hovvison is are spectable Scotch settler, a retired revenue officer, we who came to reside at the Louse of Pigeon-park and farm the lands attached to it a year or two ago. Ile was engaged on Monday morning in cutting a crop of oats, having five men and 15 women employed in the field where the reaping machine Lot long since purchased by him was at week. Pigeon-park fs situate about a mile in a steaight direc tion from Outratb, and the shouting of the rioters there, or as they proceeded along the way, was heard by Mr. Howison, and the cause at once suspected, as the rumour had gone abroad the previous evening that there would be an attack made on the reaping machines wherever they were to be had. In consequence Mr. Howl son armed himself with a gun, and his eldest so n , Ri c h ar d , aged 21, with another, in the ope that the display of fire arms might intimidate the mob. He, however, took another precaution, which might have been expected to have suf ficed to prevent the outrage which followed. Keeping with him, beside his son Richard, his second son, Andrew, aged 18, in order not to weaken hie effective force, he despatched his daughter, aged 16 to the village of Bennett's - bridge, about a mile'from his farm, to call upon the police of that station, consisting of a constable and five men, to come to his assistance. Miss Ilowison lost no time in bearing the message, and anxiously urged upon the party the necessity of giving their attendance promptly, as from the shouting heard at Out rath there could be no doubt the mob had been engaged in breaking Mr. Walsh's machine, and they would doubtless be very shortly at Pigeon-park, on the same mission of destruction. However, it would seem, as Miss Howison herself informed us, th e Bennett's-bridge consta bulary 'party had not yet got th e i r b reakfast, and they l o oked upon it as unreasonable that they should be asked to go on duty before partaking of that wholesome meal. Wee Howison waited for a little while, and left the barracks, and returned to Pigeon-Park as fast as she could. She assured me that she arrived there fully a quarter of an hour before the mob made its appearance on the ground ; that she was there at least in time to witness the proceeding., and t a k e a most heroic part in them, in defending her father f rom hi s rr savage assailas, her . bandaged arm and wounded and swollen hand gave stitfielent proof. On the approach of the mob, there being still no sign of t b l o ie m a e rr t ie b ra e l r o e f a l p h i e n p g o - l T i n c s e c , i N ii l n r e . Howison endeavoured to d from the field to the house,rianwordderitvoputtbiet whea t nojrusaset place f at a rte e ti o r f security ; however, ha had not r en _ than a lane leading to his ferin-yard, 1 gate of the field the mob made its appearance. udvanSceienig, and Seeing the guns, the fellows were apprehensive as to - they at once took shelter behind the wall:, and commenced, from that post of vantage, to hurl showers of huge stones upoe the machine, the horse!, Mr. Howison, and his suns and daughter. The h orses became alarmed and restive, and Mr. Howison, seeing that he would be unable to pro tect his property unless he actually were to shoot clown his assailants, which he never had any intention to do under any circumstances, having merely charged the puns with powder, he asked the rioters to desist from pelting stones at the horses, offering that if they would allow him to unyoke the animals and take them safely away, he would not resist whatever proceedings they might have designed; but otherwise threatening to fire upon them. The answer to this proposal was another volley of stones, one of which struck his right arm and disabled it, knocking the gun from his hand. His son Andrew caught up the Run, but as at this moment the father received another blow THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 13, 1858. Mr. Charles Thnrnwood and Mr. Spenceley, of Goodge street, Tottenbatn-court-road. In July, 18,57, the trustees realised the property, creditors to the amount of £5,000 having come into the arrangement, and realised £1,350, in addition to which there are debts owing the bankrupt to the extent of £1,600 or £1,700 more. The trustees being, how ever, made parties to a suit i❑ Chancery, did not divide the funds in band; and several dig:eating creditors havine adopted hos ila procet dings, the bankrupt was compelled to petition the Insolvent Court, when Mr. Commissioner Law refused to discharge him unless the trustees delivered up the £1,350, which they declined to do, holding it as security for any costs incurred in the suit. The bankrupt has been in prison since November. The total debts and liabilities, se cured and unsecured, are between £16,000 and £17,000 ; the assets are as above stated, in addition to which the securities have realised £5,410. The bankrupt's discharge from custody was now ordered, and Mr. Thurnwood, of 61ough, and Mr. Stubbs, of Alton, appointed assignees. from a large stone, directed with tremendous force, on the t p u u n r n s e u d e , d b b o y t h a h p i o s r s t o t o n u s s r i e d t e re o a f te th d e b h a e ck ad w , ar a d nd t bf r e o l l u d g of the mob, whilst some of the others rushed upon the o h w t n h the fiel d , ue machine and commenced its destruction, and others attacked Mr. Howison, whose daughter bad raised him in her arms, and had warded off several blows made at him, receiving severe injuries ou her hand and arm in doing so. She states that, but for the interference of two men, members of the mob, who did what they could to protect him from the others, he would certainly have been murdered in her arms. One ferocious miscreant in particular seized him by the throat, brandishing a reaping-hook over his head, and swearing that he would cut his head off; and whilst engaged in this fearful struggle, Miss Howisen saw a ruffian grasp at her father's gold watch—a very valuable one—and tear it away, the chain snapping, and a portion of it remaining about his neck. Ultimately, by the persuasions of the two men before alluded to, the fellows quiliGd :.'d!`! of Mr. Howl" son, and his deughter was permitted to assist him towards the house, he being almoet unconscious, and scarcely able to move. In the meantime' *hilst the destruction of the machine was :going forward, some of the rioters were pursuing Messrs. Richard and Andrew Howison as they retreated through the field towards the Waterford road. 1 it...hard threw his gun amongst the standing corn, hoping that it might remain there undiscovered, and got over the wall to thp road. Andrew, upon reaching the wall ; finding his pursuers close Upon turned; and, presenting the gun, fired at the rioters, but of course without injuring them, es it contained no ball. He then, profiting by the alarm of those who followed him, laid the gun against the wall ;Ind Climbed over; when over, he reached bir hand to take the gun, Put one of the pursuing party came up and snaisilied it before he coeLl4 c9tph it. The family of an adjoining farmer, named Quirk, haying then run out to protect the young Howisons, tbeie pursuers turned back, and joining the rest of the mob, all thin returned down the avenue from tins house, first breaking the two guns into fragments, and leaving the letter behind them on the ground. The injury done to Mr. Howlson's reaping machine was not by any means as extensive as that Whieh M r . Walsh's had received, and none of the fragments of the former were removed ; but the principal metal wheel, which escaped injury at Walsh's, was quite smashed at Pigeonspark. By supplying this wheel, and a few other small portions of the cast-metal work, perhaps Mr. Howison's machine might be put to rights again. The horses received several severe cuts and brnises. Richard and Andrew Howison escaped without injury, but one or two younger children were struck and hurt by stones, and, as I have said, Miss Howison's right hand and arm were much hurt. I saw Mr. Howison in bed, where he had been attended and his wounds dressed by Dr. Bradley. He had a severe cut on the side of his head, running somewhat backwards; his left jaw was much contused and swollen, and several of his teeth loosened, besides having bruises on various parts of his body from the stones thrown at him. Col. Wemyss attended as a magistrate shortly after the occurrence; but as Pr. .Brgdley did not apprehend at pre sent that dangerous cousequenerss were likely to ensue from the injuries, it was not deetlied necessary to take a'y de position yet from Mr. Howison. "MINOR OUTRAGES. "The portion cf the mob which left Mr. Walsh's farm in the direction of the Waterford road appeared to have pro ceeded to Ballynalina in search of corn-mowers. At the farms of men named Flemming and Dunne they seized the scythes and " cradles" of men mowing corn and broke them, and they searched in several other places for similar Imple ments, but the owners had contrived to hide them en hearing that they were coming. It was probably the Pigeon-park detachment which visited the farm of Mr. Sexton at Out rath, where I was informed they found and broke three scythes. Both bodies appear to have united again shortly after the Pigeon-park outrage, and they marched into town cheering and shouting triumphantly. "There was a very large assemblage of reapers in Kil kenny on Tuesday, but such as were there for hire showed an exceedingly dogged disposition, and refused all wages lower than the prices they chose to arrange for themselves, threatening all farmers with dire consequences if they dared to go against the popular feeling, and hire mowers or use machines. They openly proclaimed that if they did not yet employment on their own terms, they knew where bread was to be had, and they would have it. There was a considerable feeling of uneasiness amongst tire provi sion dealers of the town, but no overt act of any kind took place, with the exception of an attack made in the street on a farmer from Louf.rhboy, named Partle, who resisted on being hooted by the mob, but immediately received a bl of a reaping hook, which cot through his hat, and but for the defence the latter aTirded, his bead might have been seriously injured. He was forced to take refuge in a house amidst loud yells from his pursuers. The reports from the various portions of our county where reaping machines are known to have been procured by individuals all agree that no outrages have yet anywhere occurred beyond the district surrounding the city, but aepr,!ieneion is everywhere felt that our riots may but prove the prelude to a general cam paign. " There was to be a meeting of magistrates at St oneyford an Tuesday, on the requisition of Cu!. Wemyv. The Earl of Desar t was expected to he present, and Mr. Mort, R.M., who had returned since the previcus day to town, as well as Mr. Curtis, county inspector. The intention was,, we understand, that arrangements should be made to hting another reaping machine to Mr. Howison's farm un'ter a sufficient protection, and cat Iris crops, in order to show that mob violence will not be permitted to intimidate far mers to give up the use of any ttachirre they may think prover to use. We sincerely tripe this atrangetnent nay be carried out ; but something more is necessary. An example should be made of the ringleaders in the outrages of Mon day, and we have yet heard of no arrest, or even of any persou being identified. " A man came into town on Tuesday from Outrath with a broken scythe, and stated ;that he hal been engsg«l to mow corn for Mr. Walsh at tae. per clay, but that l c wr.s r. arced off and his scythe broken by a me b, who told him thlt if ever he mowed anything but grass again, he should be prepared to give up his life." LATEST PARTICOL-4.ng—ARRIVAL OF TILE MILITARY. TLe subjoined is dated Kilkenny, Wednesday night :- 1 " Tice excitement which existed hen for the last two days has subsided t 4 a great extent, owing, no doubt, to the prompt measures adopted fur the repression of fwure out ! rages. Last night, at 12 o'clock, a sp, , cial train ariived here from Dublin, bearing two troops of the 3d Dragoons, under tLe command of Co!. ett ; and to. dly a specinl detachment of TA) constabulary, under the cooarnand of Mr. Auchmuty. 5.1., from the depot in the Phce:Jix Park, also art iced. This tree has been dis , ributed in those quarters of the city where riotous manifistations were most strongly apprehended, bat up to the present no occasion has arisen for their active iuterf,rence. I understand that a 1 tarty f the harvest teen tbreih!v cut do , sn the crop (,f a Scotch farmer Homed Valiance, at Grange, about four miles from the city to-:ay, and insisted upon being paid. They then intimated their intention cf returning to-marrow for the pu , pose of stacking the corn, but it is nut likely that they will carry out their promise, as Mr. Valiance has ob tained a guard of eight p,)lic3 to sleep on his premise?. This evening, Mr. Hort R.M., prccieded with a party et the 3d Dragoons, under command of Cept. Sitwell, to Birrbfield, the residence of Mr. Richard Srnithwick, J.t'., la'e member for the county, and arrested four men who were fully identified by two scythe-men as having been of a party who had attacked them, and broken their scythes, on Monday evening. " It is generally looked upon here as an extraordinary circumstance that Kilkenny, a city of 20,000 inhahitants, containing three banks and a splendid barrack, with a large store of arms and ammunitions should have been left, since 1 the disbandment of the Ki.leehny Fusiliers a few days since, under the charge of a barrack-sergeant only."

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.--AVG. 12. (Before Mr. Commissioner Face.) IN 13. E SIMON% This was a sitting for the double purpose of choosing assignees and disposing of an application for discharge from custody by the bankrupt, Edward Simon, of 24, South street, Brampton, and also of 37 and 38, Mark-lane, a wine merchant and general commission agent. Mr. Doria appeared for the bankrupt, and Mr. Abraham for M. Ballereau, the detaining creditor ; Who opposed the application for discharge, Mr. Abraham having expressed his desire to exmlae the petitioning creditor, Mr. Doria objected that Mr. Abraham had no locus :fandi,bis client not having proved his debt. His Honour overruled this objection, saying that if, as a solicitor, Mr. Abrahams told him he represented a creditor ; he might examine the bankrupt or anybody else. M. Iliont was then eXaMiiied by sTr.'Abrahain- r He said —I am a Catholic priest - living in Cadogan 7 terrace, Chelsea. I lent $lOO to the bankrupt I - st year.

I never asked him to pay me balk because I heard he could give me a little interest; but I have had neither principal ncr in terest.

Abrp e bgm—Did any one ask you to make him bank rupt I The Commissioner—l shall not allow him to answer that question, Mr. Abraham—This is a case which requires strict inves tigation, and I want to know whether he is aware that he is Halite to the cost of the bankruptcy. The Commissioner-.. 1 shall not require him to answer that either, Mr. Simon, the bankrupt, deposed that be borrowed £l2O of last witness in May, 1857. It was entered in the cash book. The cashbook upon being referred to confirmed this state ment: Examination continued—lt ma not entered in the ledger, but it waa in another book. . Mr. Abraham—lt appears in this examination that there is no entry in the bankrupt's books of the borrowing of the £lOO of M. Mioux. IVi. Mioux's name does not appear, therefore I submit that, without further consideration, your honour ought to refuse to allow M. Mioux's claim, inas much as there is not a farthing of essets; and I certainly do not think your honour ought to allow this'man to get out of custody on such a fraudulent petition as this. The Commissioner—How do you know there are no assets? Mr. Abraham—There is not a shilling of assets. The Commissioner—How do you know that ? Mr. Abraham—l have not inquired particularly, but I am told so. The Commissioner—How can you make such a statement, when you have not inquired into the matter? Mr. Abraham—l have inquired of the messenger, and of the official assignee. Mr. Whitmore (official easignee)—No • not of me. Mr, Abraham—Of your clerk I did, and of the bankrupt. Upon the bankrupt being examined again, he deposed that though he had no property he had £3OO worth of good debts. Had been in business four years in Sherborne-lane, Tower-street, Marl-lane, and New Church-court. The good debts were for goods sold and delivered. The largest debt due to hito was one for £lOO from a Frenchman named Vielle; that debt was for wine and money lent. The Commissioner—So that though you could not pay your own debts you could lend money to other people ? Bankrupt—lt was but a very fniv pounds. The Commissioner— Have you anything further to ad vance ? Mr. Abraham—My client has been robbed of his money. Would it be worth while now to go into the question of fraud ? The Commissioner—l do not know how I can deal with that now. If your client has been, as you say, defrauded and robbed, if you can show that such is the case at the examination meeting when he comes to pass his last exami nation, I shall refuse to protect him, and then your client can send him to prison. Mr. Abraham—But we have him in prison already. We are now his detaining creditor, opposing his discharge because we believe that this petition-for adjudication wns presented as a ruse to get him out of custody. I submit that the petitioning creditor has not proved his debt. The Commissioner—Oh, as to that I am perfec.ly satisfie 1. Mr. Abraham—Then I must ask you to adjourn the chi ice. My client lives in Nantes, and is a creditor for £2OB. lie has not yet proved his debt and cannot vote in the choice wain he has dune so. It will take some time to commut,i eate with him for that purpcse, and therefore I submit an adjournment is necessary. Mr. Whitmore (official assignee), in reply to his honour, stated the bankrupt had not tendered any statement of his affairs. Mr. Abraham said it would take ten days to communicate with his client, and get his debt proved, which would have to be done before a juge de paix. The Commissioner thought the case was in vole respects unsati,tactory. Mr. Doria sad the choice paper was already 'igned ; three creditors only, however, had proved—the petitioning credi tor and two others; but Mr. Abraham had been very active in advising those two creditors not to sign the choice paper, and had no doubt prevented others from doing so. The Commissioner — Mr. Abraham thinks it a fraudulent case, and it is, therefore, natural he should say. " Do not allow a friend of the bankrupt to become assignee, because if you do, tny client will be defrauded." Mr. Doria— He has prevented several creditors from voting in the choice, but the three creditors who have proved amount to nearly gloo. The Commissioner—How is it other creditors have not come forward to oppose Mr. Abraham—Perhaps because they believe, as I do, that there is no chance of a dividend. Tie Commissioner—flow carve they then to trust a man ‘alien they have such a wonderfully had opinion of him ? I M. Ainaltarn—l am not concerned for thew, but my cli en t says be I ll s been defrauded, and he does nut care what the expense may be, but be is determined to punish the bankrupt. Toe Commissioncr—Who is your client ? Mr. Ain aliarn—A dealer in sardines. The Commissioner—What are sardines ? Mr. Abraham—Little fi , h sold in tin boxes. My client, in ccmpliance with an order he received from a Mr. Olde nove, scot sardines t ) the amount of £lOO for cash, aid havir•g incurred all the expense of their transi', instead of cash 1411 he got was two worthless bills drawn by Mr. Olde nove upon the bankrupt. Oldenove gets the sardines, divides them with the bankrupt es his consideration for accepti►.g the bills, and we got nu money. The s.diettor to the petitioning creditor here interposed for the purpcse of explaining that the reason why other cre ditors had not appeared in oppsition wag, not as Mr. Abrahlim had stated, because they feared they would get no dividend, hut because his (the speaker's) clerk had seen many of them, and they had said they were perfectly satisfied. The CommissionEr—Satisfied ! Satisfied with what ? The S.,lieitor—Satisfied with the state of the bankrupt's affaiN. Tile Cummisiioner—Who saw them ? The Solicitor—My clerk. The clerk, being Examined, said he saw several of the creditors, who had said they believed the bankrupt was not so bad as he was reytesented or they would prove, but the) left. the matter entirely in his clew's hands. By Mr. D -ria—l am tnauagiug dell( of the solicitor for the petitioning credit tr. Mr. Abraham—You are solicitor for the bankrupt as well. Witnes—We have been acting fur him, but ae are not doing so now. The Commissioner—l 8111 not satisfied with the case. Let the bankrupt go into the box again. Bankrupt deposed that ha owed £I,100; about half of that sum was due to foreign creditors. Tate Commissioner—l think it is doe to those foreip creditors that there should be an adj.turnment. For bow long do you propose the adj-urnment should be orderEd ? Mr. Abraham—Ten class sill be sufficient. The Commissioner—Then I shall cdjourn it to Thursday, Aug. 26. Mr. Abraham asked his honour to direct the bankrupt to file a list of creditors, as hitherto he had not done so. Tne Commissioner, having ascertained from the bankrupt that he could then turn to his books and give the list, imme diately ordered him to do so forthwith. Mr. Doria then applied for the baukrupt'e discharge from custody. The Commissioner asked if there was any reason to sup pose the bankrupt would abscond ? Mr. Doria—Not the slightest. Mr. Abraham—Yes ; I do believe we shall never see him again. The Commissioner—l did not ask you what you believed, but whether you had any reason for believing that the bank rupt would not do his duty ; because, as you know, if he abscond he will be guilty of a felony. Do you believe he will be guilty of that felony ? Mr. Abraham—l believe he would. The Commissioner—ViLat reason have you for so be lieving ? Mr. Abraliaa—Triat he is a foreigner living temporarily in England. The Commissioner—Tempt -wily ! (To the bankrupt)-- How long have you been in this country ? Bankrupt—Eight years. _ . . The Commissioner-That is what you call a temporary residence (Laughter.) Mr. Abraham—l say that if he gets out he will abscond, because havig acted fraudulently be will be afraid of being again imprisoned. Bankrupt deposed he had been in England eight years; out of which period for three years be had been in the em ployment of Mr. Lewis, a pill manufacturer, of Bond-street, and fur four years he had been in trade on his own account as a wine merchant and general commission agent. The Commissioner—And you want me not to give him protection ? Mr. Abraham—Yes, sir; because he ought not to have come to tois court; he is making use of this court to get his discharge. The Commissioner—That is just what every man in his positicn ought to do. I shall discharge him from custody. Discharged accordingly. Choice of assignees adjourned to Thursday, Aug. 26. IN THE BANKRUPTCY OF 11. PAINE. This was a meeting for the last examination of Henry Paine, of No. 234, Strand, tailor, who was bankrupt before. The balance-sheet upon which the bankrupt applied to pass commences on the 16 th a t Match, 184, and ends 29th of June last, showing :—Dr.—To creditors unsecured, £733 19s. 10d. ; creditors holding security, £127 Os. 11d.: do. to be paid in full, £43 18s. 101; liabilities, £312155. od.; profits, £6.53 10:. 2d.

The exatninatLn was adjourned from time to time, the accounts being unsatisfactory ; but the bankrupt ulti mately succeeded hi obtaining a second-class certificate. Mr. Wood appeared for the assignees, and Mr. Charnock supported. The bankrupt, who gave up ss. as the remainder of his estate, passed his examination, and obtained renewed prof c lion to the certificate meeting, fixed for 20th September next.

HOME CIRCUIT.—GUILDFORD, AuG.ll. (Before Mr. Justice Willes and a Special Jury.) PORTER V. THE NORTH LONDON RAILWAY COMPANY. This was an action to recover damages for injuries alleged to have been sustained through the negligence of the de fendants. Mr. Hawkins was counsel for the plaintiff. Mr. E. James, Q.C., and Mr. J. Browne appeared for the com pany. The plaintiff, it appeared, was a watchmaker at Poplar, and about 66 years of age. He bad, it appeared, gone with his wife to attend Divine service at Highbury, and the acci dent in question took place at the Stepney station upon his return. According to the plaintiff's case, the train had quite stopped and he was about to alight when it suddenly moved on again, and the consequence was that he was thrown down between the train and the platform and re ceived most severe injuries, among others several of his ribs being crushed. The accident was alleged to have arisen from the moving on of the train after it had stopped, and it was also urged that there were not sutheient servants at the station to assist the passengers from the train. Mr. James made a very eloquent address to the jury on behalf of the defendants, and he said that while they deeply regretted the accident he had sustained, they were at the same time bound to defend the present action, because, from the inquiries they had made, they had reason to believe outthat he of t hhea carriage a b r brought the hilethe misfortune tran w upon n m ohimself,motion , and before by getting it bad stopped at the station ; and he said that if he made out this fact the defendants would be entitled to a verdict. Several witnesses belonging to the railway were then examined, and they deposed that the plaintiff attempted to get out of the carriage while the train was in motion, and that the consequence was that he fell between the carriage and the platform. A passenger, who was in the same car riage with the plaintiff, also deposed to the same fact. Mr. Jus . ice Willes, in summing up, explained the case to the jury, and said that the defendants would not be liable under the present form of action, unless it was clearly made out that the accident was occasioned by the negli gence of their servants; and if they should be of opinion that the plaintiff by his own want of caution and negligence contributed to this accident in the smallest degree, he could not recover damages for the injury that resulted. The jury retired, and after being in deliberation for two hours they informed the Court that there was no proba bility of their agreeing upon a verdict, and requested to know whether . . the verdict of a ma j or ity wou ld b e rece i ve d. This proposition was not accepted, and the jury again retired to their room, where they remained three or four hours, and at the rising of the Court, it being intimated that there was no probability of their agreeing, they were discharged without giving a verdict. HILLS V. THE LONDON GAS-LIGHT COMPANY. This was a special jury cause, which commenced on Tues day before Mr. Baron Bramwell in the Crown Court. The Attorney. General came down specially, and with Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., Mr. Hindmarsh, and Mr. Pollock, conducted the case ler the plaintiff; Mr. Boy'll, Q.C., Mr. Luih, Q.C., Mr. Webster, and Mr. G. Denman were coun sel for the defendants. The actien was brought to establish the right of the plaintiff to a patent for purif%ing gas. A vast number of scientific and other witnesses were examined on both sides, and the cause is likely to occupy another day before it is brought ti a conclusion. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—LINCASTER, AUG. 10. COURT. (B:fore Mr. Baron Martin and a Special Jury.) ECCLES V. THE MAYOR AND CORPORATION OP BLACK- BURN. This was an RANI of trespass, for entering upon and buildinz walls on tie plaintiffs' land, and for divertinz the river Blaekwater. The defendants justified under a local Act of Parliament. _ Mr. Edward James, Q.C., and Mr. Crompton Hutton ap peared for the plaintiffs; and Mr. Atherton, Q.C., Mr. 6egar, Q.C., and Mr. Russell for ihe defendants. The plaintiffs, it appeared, are cotton spinners at Black burn, end owners of a plot of land abutting on the river Blackwater. This land is very valuable for manufacturing purpcses, from its contiguity to the liver. The defendants, acting, as hey supposed, under the authority of the Blackburn Improvement Act, 1854, enchried a part of this land, com pensating the plaintiffs by adding to their wirer hard, di verted the river from its ancient bed, so that it no lor.ger passed over the pittiniffs' laud, and ran a sewer under the land. The Vaintiffs contended tkat the land in question was wi.hout the scope aid operation of the Local Improve ment Act. The learned counsel for the plaintiffs having opened his case, Mr. Atherton admitted that he could not resist many of the facts opened for the plaintiff?, end suggested that an ar rangement night be come to on terms. After a conf_r.?nce between the learned counsel, A verdict was take r fur the plaintiffs, subject to a refer ence as to terms. An action of trespass to try the tight to a piece of land, wide% was nn exceedingly nninteresting character, re solving itself into a question of b :undary, finished the civil business of the assize. On the criminal •idc the Lord Chief Baron tried an indict ment fir ;ape upon an oil wunan, and an a , slult on a s!le riff's officer, which was, in fact, a public-house row, and that fini,hed the criminal business. LIVERPOOL, AUG. 12. TLe leaned judges of tsis assiza arrived here yesterday, and opened the commi,sion. This morning their lordships took their sea's at 12 o'clock, Lord Chief Baron Pollock sitting in the Crown Court, and charging the grand jury. The calendar contains a list of 87 prisoners. Of these 6 are charged with murder, 7 with marsslaugLter, 8 with rub bery, 19 with burghty, 5 with rape, 10 with cutting and stabbing, 2 with forgery, and the rest with minor offences. The cause-list contains an entry in the fiat list of 21 causes, and in the second of 95, or a total of 116 causes ; of these, 11 in the first list, and 31 in the second, are marked for special juries. Mr. Baron Martin commenced trying civil causes at 12 o'clock, and having disposed of an undefended action fir money lent, no other causes wereiready to be proceeded with, and after an ineffectual attempt to call on various causes in their order, his lordship, expressing a threat to strike out the cases not ready, proceeded to try criminals. None of the criminal cases disposed of were of any beyond local interest. They were chiefly street robberies in Man chester. OXFORD CIRCUIT—GLOUCHSTER, AUG. 12. CIVIL COURT. (Befure Mr. Justice Byles and a Special Jury.) RABOT v. nrOWN AND OTIIERS. Mr. Huddleston, Q.C., Mr. Dowdeswell, and Mr. G!iffiths appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. Sergeant Pigott and Mr Gray for the defendants. Tile plaintiff in this action, Andre Rabot, was a French man, and master and part owner of a French brig named the Emma, and the defendants were corn merchants at Cardiff, carrying on business under the style of Spiller and Brown. The plaintiff sue,' the defendants for maliciously and without reasonable cause having him arrested, on December 26, 1857, up n an allegation that they had a claim upon him for the sum of £515 5a for damage done by his negligence to a carp) of wheat which he had brought from Marseilles to Cardiff, aad that he was about to leave Cardiff with his ship in ballast for a foreign pert. It appeared that on the 18th of Sep•ember, 1857, the defendants, by their agent at Mar seilles, had diartered the plaintiff's brig to bring a cargo of 1,262 qr. of wheat from Marseilles to Cardiff. When the vessel at rived at Cardiff it was found that the cargo had sus tained considerable injury, and the question then arose whe ther this was owing, as the plaintiff alleged, to the storms and perils of the sea, or, as the defendants contended, to the negligent conduct of the plaintiff, who was the master of the ship. The ship arrived at Cardiff on the 21st of Nov., 1857, and the plaintiff then went, with three seamen, to the French Vice-Consul there, and made a protest, and re quested the defendants to appoint a surveyor. They declined to du FO, but the next day, in the absence of the plaintiff, they sent a surveyor and opened one of the hatches. The cargo was delivered, and a claim was made upon the plain tiff for damage done to it by his alleged negligence, but the plaintiff resisted this claim, and when an offir was made to refer the dispute to a judge of the County Court the plain tiff declined this proposal, and said he should sue the de fendants' agent in the French Court fur the freight. Tice defendants then made an affidavit that'shey had a claim on the plaintiff in respect to the damage done to the corn, and that he was about to quit England, and upon that affidavit a capiaB issued, and he was arrested on the 26th of Dec., 1857, and kept. in custody till the 20th of February, 1858, when he put in bail. The defeadants then pro ceeded with their action against the plaintiff, to re cover damages for the alleged negligence, and the same came on for trial in this city at the last assizes. The defence set up by the present plaintiff was, that there was no neg ligence on his part, but that the damage arose from the perils of the sea, and in the result the present defend ants failed to establish their claim. The plaintiff then brought this action to recover damages for the malicious arrest and for the balance due fur freight; but as the defendants had paid the amount due for freight into court, the only question now was, whether or not the defendants had arrested the plaintiff without reasonable cause and maliciously. This depended very much on the same facts as were in issue at the first trial, end as they were gone into at great length the trial occupied the court nearly the whole of yesterday and this day. A great many witnesses were examined on both sides, and the defendant, in order to alma that he had acted bottafide, gave evidence that he had consulted Mr. Hughes, the barrister of the . South %Vales Circuit, as to whether the plaintiff should be arrested; but when that gentleman was examined, it appeared that be had given his opinion on a statement of facts which showed that there was clear negli gence on the pact of the master (the plaintiff), and had ad vised that the facts should be carefully looked into before any arrest was made. Mr. Iluddleston and Mr. Sergeant Pigott having twice addressed the jury, Mr. Jusice Byles summed up the evidence at great length, and finally directed the jury, in subst ince, that if they believed the damage was done to the cargo by the negligence of the captain or Owners a nd no: by the perils of the sea, or h a d t h e app arance of being so caused, and the plaintiff was eithergoing ab oad, or the defendants had been it.forund or believed that he was about to do so, there would be reasonable and pnbable cease for arresting the plaintiff. and they ought to find a verdict fur the defendants. But if they believed that the facts necestary to constitute reason able and probable cause did not exist, and the defendants did not feleve that they existed, but were actuated by some malicious or indirect motive, such as the desire of personal gain, in causing the plaintiff to be arrested, they ought to find for the plaintiff, with substantial damages. The jury then retired to consider their verdict, and on their return into court found for the plaintiff—Damages , £l5O. CRIMINAL COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Hill.) Mr. Jnitice Hill has been engaged all day in the trial of cases the pal ticulars of which are unfit for public! tion. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE.—Capt. R. Dawson, was sum moned upon the complaint of James frai'ibb.t , o, a licensed steam pilot; for that he, on the :31st (laN of July 4,st, 1- e i ng then the master of the William JoiHE?, exempted from pilotage, and navigatii - !g witiiin the pilotage district between London-bridge and Gravesend, did unlaw fully, after a qualified pilot had offered to take charge of such ship and had made a signal for that purpose, employ, and continue to employ, a certain man named Abraham Read, then and there being an unqualified person, to pilot her, contrary to the Act 17th and 18th Vic., cap. 104, sec. 35.3 Mr. Fletcher appeared for the complainant ; and Mr. Winckworth on behalf of the General Steam Navigation Company, to whom the William Jolliffe belongs. The defendant pleaded not guilty. Mr. Fletcher briefly opened his case, and stated that the offence, if proved, would render defendant liable to a penalty not exceeding £2 145., being double the amount of pilotage chargable on the William Jolliffe between London and Gravesend. He then called the complainant, James Hambleton, who said—l am a licensed pilot, and now produce my license. On Saturday, the 31st ult., I saw the William Jolliffe coming down from London-bridge, I being then off the Tower. She was then in charge of an unlicensed pilot named Abraham Read, whom I saw waving his hand to the man at the helm. I hoisted my flag, and the captain came from the starboard side to the larboard. I asked him whether he wanted my services, and be said "No ;" and without stopping he went right away. I can't say that he was master of the William Jolliffe, but he was on the paddle-box. The William Jolliffe was making about 9ft. of water at the time, and the pilotage to Gravesend for that draught is £1 7e. Cross-examined—l do not know Capt. Dawson, and can't say whether he has been up and down the river for 30 years. I took him for the captain by his conduct. I will not under take to swear that he was not in charge of the ship. The vessel was eased when I hoisted my flag, but not for me. I can't say who gave the order to ease her. The defendant, in answer to my question, did not state that he was himself a pilot; or, if he did, I did not hear him. I can't say whether Read continued in charge after I made the signal, but he still stood on the paddle-box. Mr. Winckworth—Have you not said in writing that the captain came to the port side and took charge of the ship ? Complainant—l have said so. Mr. Winckworth—ls that your writing ? Complainant—lt is. Mr. Winckworth then read a letter addressed to the superintendent of the Steam Navigation Company, on the 2d instant, in which the complainant asked that a portion of the work now done for the company might be given to him ; and in which he made reference especially to the refusal of the captain of the William Jolliffe to employ him on the 31st ult., and asserted that the captain, upon his application, himself took charge of the ship. Cross-examination resumed—l believe it is the practice I f the General Steam Navigation Company to have licensed watermen to assist their captains in navigating their vessels as far as the Pool; but I am not aware that Mr. Read is a licensed waterman. I saw the name of Captain Dawson en the books at the Trinity House as the holder of a Board of Trade certificate. Lord Mayer—That certificate should be produced. Mr. Winckworth—lt shall be. I have it in court. Don't you know, Mr. Ilambleton, that steam-boats carrying pas sengers are navigated by captains holding a Board of Trade certificate ? Complainant—l do:; but then the captain must pilot the ship himself. Mr. Goodman (chief clerk)—ln the busy parts of the river is it not usual to have one person on each paddle-box of a steam-boat to guard against accidents ? Complainant—Yes, it is. Mr. Goodman—But you don't contend that both these persons should be licensed pilots ? Complainant—l don't know how that may be. I have seea it done. Mr. Winekworth—But suppose the chief mate had been on the paddle- box instead of Read, and had waved his band to the man at the helm, would you consider that being in charge of the vessel, the captain being on the other paddle box or on the bridge at the time? Complainant—No; but there is a difference between the chief mate and another man. Wm. Co;, a waterman, who was with the complainant when the latter made his signal, was examined, butcould give no positive evidence as to the fact of Read being in charge cf the vessel either before or after the signal was made ; but his evidence led to the conclusion that the latter was certainly not the case, and he admitted that all he saw was that Read waved his head once as if to the man at the helm. There was no ot her evidence. Mr. Winkwoz th contended thdt there was no proof, and that the case wasone of the most trumpery that had ever come In-fore a Court. He believed it had originated entirely from ill-will, as the complainant, two days after the affair of the William Joiliffe, wrote to the company fer a part of their work, and because he did not get it took out the summons. To that summons he (Mr. Winekwortli) had two objections— first, that the Wiliam Jolliffe was ao exempted ship; and, secondly, that the defendant did not continue to employ an unlicensed pilot, after a duly qualified pilot had offered to take charge of the vessel. As to his first objection the vessel was exempted before the Mercantile Shipping Act came into operation, aad the very clause under which the summons had been taken out continued all existing exemp tions. The learned gentleman here read the clause, show ing the continuance of existieg exemptions; amt titen the sec., c. 69, Geo.l V., which exempted from the obligation to carry pilots all coesting vessels, Sze., having captains or mates duly licensed; and he also produced a certificate granted to defendant by the Maid of Trade in 1855, and renewed annually since, licensing him to pilot any vessel belonging to the General Steam Navigation Company with a draught of water not exceeding 1] feet between London and Great Yarmouth. Finally, the learned gentleman met an objection urged on the opposite side by quoting a bye law made by the Trinity IlouQe, and published by Order In Council in the London Gazette of the 17th July, 1857, ex tending to ships carrying passengers the exemptions pre viously enjoyed by ships not carrying passengers under the 37th section of the Merchant Shipping Act of 1854. Mr. Fletcher took a technical objection to the Board of Trade certificate ; but the Ojection was overruled, and Tee Lord Mayor expressed his opinion that every possible precaution had been taken in navigating the vessel, as ac cording to the complainant's own showing there had been a man to look-cut upon each paddle-box, and Viet every requirement of the law had been duly complied with. The complainant appeared to have been looking more to his own benefit than to the public good when he applied for the summons; but be that as it might, the summons must be dismissed. Mr. Winckworth said it was extraordinary that such a summons should be taken out against Capt. Dawson, who had navigated up and down the Thames for 30 years. He should not, however, ask for costs, being satisfied with the result of the case; but if ever such a case were brought forward again it was the intention of the Steam Navigation Company to press for costs. WORSHIP-STREET.—PROMPT RECOVERY OF STOLEN PROPERTY.—CharIes Davis, a young man of very smart appearance, and rather good-looking, and Margaret Rogers, keeper of a common lodging-house in Thrawl-street, Spite!fields, were finally examined before Mr. Hammill, upon a charge of feloniously possessing stolen property. About four in the afternoon of the 4th inst., Dubb and Savage, detective constables of the K division, were enter ing Thrawl-street, when the prisoner Rogers, who was standing at her door, instantly darted inside at the sight of them, and being as quickly followed, was found in the back bedroom with the prisoner Davis, and upon the bed were a broken-open writing desk, the contents of whirls (upwards of 100 letters and other property) were strewn about, and a lady's work-box wrapped in a table cloth, and under the bed a pair of candlestick'. Rogers pointed out Davis as having brought the things there, and on the officers inquiring if be was the man who had arrived shortly before in a cab, Davis said the fact was that he had no knowledge of the stealing of the things, but while walking in the street he saw a young man named Jones, who had lint lately come home after 6 months' imprisonment, and that person invi.ed him into a cab, in which they were driven to Thrawl-street. - The finding of the wilting-desk and work-box as above stated was reported last week in the Morning Post, and Ann Edwards, servant of a lady named Evans, residing at Kensington-park-gardens West, near Notting-hill, now attended, and identified all the property, which she saw safe at nine in Cue morning of the 4th inst., and missed at three in the afternoon, little more than an hour before the officers found the articles in SpitaifiAds. The prisoner Rogers protested that she had no knowledge that the things had seen stolen, and Davis, in reply to the usual question, said be had nothing to offer now in defence, and wished the case to be sent to teal. Donoway, a police constable, proved that in October last Davis was convicted at the Westminster sessions, and sen tenced to four months' imprisonment. The prisoners were committed fur trial. ROBBERY BY FEMALES.—Charlotte Griffin, Eliza beth Buckley, and Fanny Hart were charged with robbing Mr. William Hardman, of Dame—street, Islington, who stated that about one in the morning be was passing a fruiterer's in Shepherdess-walk, near the Eagle Tavern, when the prisoners insisted upon hie treating them, and Griffin laid hold of his arm. He pushed her away, upon which she struck him a blow in the mouth. The others then got hold of him, worth ooi and ranti e)hpa. od folrt guineas, i r mu wnlo the hai m i es , a n n gw comingadsguardodower c u hchain, upne already, wg s a oh i n d ih, " Your wat c h discovered aays hnthat been his N a wv ad roi t ly e loose from his neck. The prisoners were remanded. MARY LE BONE. SHOPLIFTING BY FEMALES.— Mary Everett and -Eliza Wright, the former describing herself as a paper colourer, and the latter as a b oo k-f o ld er, both of them very respectably attired, were placed at the bar charged with having stolen two shawls, value 155., the property of Mr. Gill, a pawnbroker, carrying on business in the Hampstead-road. John Crick, an assistant, deposed that on the previous eveuinz, between 5 and 6 o'clock, the prisoners entered the shop, and asked to look at some shawls. Witness placed a dozen of different patterns and qualities on the counter, and after turning them many times they said that none of them suited. lie (the witness) was about to move the shawls away, when he observed Wright conceal one of them beneath her dress. He told the prisoners he was quite sure that they had not come to purchase, but to steal, and on his laying hold of Wright, and turning her round, a shawl dropped from her person on to the floor; she also dropped a second oue when threatened with being given in charge. Mr. Long—What evidence have you a ga in s t the woman Everett? Witness—A man who was in. the shop heard her say to Wright—" Kick it:(alluding to the shawl first-dropped) under the chair." Mr. Long—ls that pason present? Witness—He is not, sir. Grounds, 94 S, stated that when he took the prisoners into custody, neither of them had anything to say. He (the officer) produced the two shawls, which were identified by the first witness as belonging to his employer, Mr. Gill. The prisoners were remanded till Tuesday next. DARING ROBBERY. —John Nowell and Mary Whiting were charged with having been concerned in the following daring robbery : It appeared from the evidence that on Tuesday afternoon a man named Daniel Gould, residing at Kensington, went into a public-liouse in 1:n . 1-street, Lisson-grove, and that while there the male prisoner rushed in and took his handker chief, containing 225. iu silver, from his pocket. The pri soners, who hastily quitted t h e h ouse , wer e subsequently taken into custody b y po li ce - cons t a bl e 95 1). The woman, whose complicity in the robbery w a s not satisfactorily shown, was discharged, and Howell. who pleaded guilty, was sent to hard labour in the House of Cor rection for two months. - - ----- ASSAULT ON A CONSTABLE.—Nathan i e l Young, a baker, was charged with a most violent assault on Davis, 91 D. The evidence went to show that on the same morning at an early hour, Davis, 91 D, saw the prisoner loitering about in a suspicious manner in Dorset-me% , s, Dorset square, and also observed him try ses oral doors as if with the inten-. tion of making an entry. The officer, who was not satisfied with the account which he gave of himself, took Lim into custody, when the prisoner exclaimed, "I'll serve you out you --," and threw him down with great force. Mr. L:)11g couvicted him in th pezinEy of 205., or 14 daya' itnprisumeEt. CLERKENSVELL.—DARING IiOBBERY OP 6ILVER PLATE.—Three fashionably-attired young men, well-known thieves, who gave the names of Henry Phillips, Henry Evans, and James Dunbar, were placed at the bar, before Mr. Tyrwhitt, charged with stealing one silver soup ladle, one palr of sugar tongs, and two silver knives and forks, from the dwelling -house of Mr. H. W.:Elder, residing at Hornsey. The Prisoners were seen by Mrs. Eliza Cattram loitering about near the prosecutor's house, and on her return from the post-office she saw Phillips come out of the garden with something in his possession. An alarm was given, and the prisoners followed and found lying in a field. They were questioned, and gave a very unsatisfactory account of them selves ; upon which they were locked up, and while at the station the soup ladle fell from one of their trousers. That morning Sergeant Monaghan, 38 N, searched she field where the prisoners had been lying, and found near the spot the silver knives and forks produced. The prisoners said they went to Horusey, as they bad got a half-holiday, and added that Phillips found the property. Mr. Tyrwhitt sentenced the prisoners to three months' hard labour in the House of Correction. SOUTHWARK. —THE BERMONDSEY NUISANCES.— In the course of the afternoon Dr. Challice, the medical officer of health of the Bermondsey district, attended with Mr. Drew, the vestry clerk, to prefer a complaint against Mrs. Sarah Cripps, a glue and scotch manufacturer, of Seven-mead, Bermondsey New road, for carrying on an offensive trade—that is, the manufacture of scutch—which is injurious to the health of the inhabitants of the neighbour hood. Dr. Challice, on being sworn, said that during the last two months he had received complaints from the inhabitants of the Bermondsey New-road respecting the offensive smells which daily emanated from the defendant's premises. He accordingly visited them, and perceived that it was caused by the use of sulphureous acid in the manufacture of scutch, a filthy decomposed animal matter. The defendant had made a communication with the sewer for getting rid of the refuse filth, which spread all over the neighbourhood, and eventually made its way into the Thames. The process was new, and a short time ago brought into use by Mr. Benjamin Young, who had extensive premises in Ber mondsey; but, owing to the offensive smells, he was com pelled to remove the business to Erith-marshes. The defendant's son, who managed the business, said that there was no offensive smell whatever, and they had for ten years carried on the process of making scutch with sul paureous acid, and no complaint bad been made before. Dr. Challice intimated to his worship that the new process had not been brought into use ten years. He was positive that the smells emitted from it were not only offensive, but injurious to health. In fact, it ought to be remedied at once, or in such hot weather as they had now it might cause considerable disease among the innhaitants. Mr. Combe asked who preferred the charge? Mr. Drew replied that the vestry had done so for the protection of the inhabitants. Mr. Combe thought that if such was the case it had better go the sessions. It was a matter too serious for him to deal with. Dr. Challice said that it was his opinion that unless the process was done away with immediately disease would spread about fearfully. Mr. Cripps denied that it was injurious to health, having been carried on for so many years without complaint. Mr. Combo., after some discussion, adjourned the sum mons until Monday, to give the defendant an opportunity of calling in a practical chemist, who could consult with Dr. Challice on the matter in question. However, the defendant must not continue the practice, Apr she will render herself liable to heavy penalties each, day. LAMBETII.—DESPERATE ASSAULT ON A POLICE CONSTABLE.--A costermonger named David Hall was charged before the Hoe. Mr. Norton with violently assault ing Police-constable M'Carthey, P 145, under the following circumstances on the 10th of July last : Toe complainant stated that on the evening of the day is question several persons were assembled at the Newington Arms, King-street, East-street, Walworth, when the pri soner, with two men named Williams and Charles Andrews, and another of the name of Otty, endeavoured to make their way up stairs into the room. As they were causing a disturbance they were refused admission and ejected. While they were in the street a crowd collected and a disturbance arose. Witness endeavoured to preserve ordee, in attempt ing to do which he was obstructed by the prisoner, who exclaimed to some persons in the crowd, "Keep back and I will chuckle the —." He then gave witness a blow upon his mouth, and another under the right ear. At the same time he was tripped up by some one, and fell. While he was on the ground he was kicked several times in his side by the prisoner. In answer to the magistrate, the witness said that for several days after the assault upon him he felt the effects of the blows, and was laid up in bed. The man Otty, who was in his custody, succeeded in escaping iu consequence of the attack upon him by the prisoner. Mr. M. Fox, landlord of the Newington Arms, gave evi dence in corroboration of that given by the constable. The prisoner observed that he was sorry for what had happened, and he would take care that nothing of the sort should occur again. Mr. Norton asked what was known of the prisoner ? Police-constable P 64 stated that since this occurrence the prisoner had carried about hies a knife, with which he has threatened to rip up any one who should lay to take him into custody. The police had been cautioned against him. The complainant stated that he was i n f orme d the prisoner was in the habit of carrying a pickaxe about with him. ' Mr. Norton remarked that it was a very cowardly act en the part of the prisoner, and that he should send him ft r trial. The depositions were taken, and the prisoner was corn milted for trial. GROSS CRUELTY TO A HORSE.—Thos. Day, dairy man, INo. 26, Piit-street, St. George's-road, Southwark, was cha.ged with cruelly ill-treating a horse by violently beating it with a whip-handle in the Westminster-road that morning. George Smith, a constable of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, stated that about seven o'clock he and Wtn. Guest, another of the society's officers, were at the foot of Westminster-bridge, when they saw the defendant, who was with another man in a cart, and which was drawn by one horse. The prisoner was beating the animal very violently with the butt end of a heavy whip upon its back and ribs. The poor creature went on with great difficulty, when on reaching Astley's Theatre sewral of the foot-passengers cried out " Shame 1" The prisoner paid no attention to the remark, and again struck the horse violently. He stood up in the cart for the purpose of giving the blows more effect. At York-place a man got out. Witness and his brother officer went up to the prisoner and told him that they should take him into custody. Mr. Norton—How many times did he strike the horse Smith—From 10 to 15 times. (Witness produced the whip.) Mr. Nort.,n—What sort of' condition was the horse in ? Smith—ln a very bad condition, and totally unfit for use. There was scarcely any flesh on its ribs, and it was extremely emaciated. On the way to the station-house the prisoner wanted to bribe me, and make it up. The prisoner said that he only struck the horse twice. Smith said that when be said 10 or 15 times he spoke within the mark. Guest corroborated the evidence. The prisoner, in answer to the charge, said that lie gave £lO for the horse four years ago, and that it was about eight years old; a veterinary surgeon said it was fit to drive. Mr. Norton went to look at the animal, which was in the police-statio❑ yard adjoining the court. On his return, he observed that the animal was nearer 10 than 8 years of age, and was to.ally unlit to be used. It was more likely worth 10d. than £lO, and could hardly put a leg to the ground. If he (the prisoner) consented to have it sent to the knacker's to be killed, he should not send him to prison. The animal was sold to the knacker for 205., and killed. TEIAMES.—THB SOLDIER'S WIDOW.—AN UNHAPPY MARRIAGE.—A woman of respectable appearance and ad dress, a native of Irel an d, w h o was in a state of great afflic tion, came b'fore Mr. Selfe and requested his interference under the following circumstances. The applicant stated that sh e was th e w id ow o f a soldier named Patrick Readdy, of th e I s t M a d ras F us ili ers, w h o served his country in India under Havelock and Neill, and was killed between Allahabad and Cawnpore. One of her children died in Cawnpore; the other, a girl 5 years old, she left in Newtown, Madras, under the care of Mr. Fewkes, a missionary, and returned to England. She applied for relief to the Committee of the Indian Mutiny, and was al lowed ss. per week, and an additional 2s. 6d. per week from the Clive Fund. On the Ist of July in the present year she had the misfortune to meet with a soldier named Samuel Spurling, recruiting-sergeant for the Tower Hamlets Militia, who represented that he had formerly belonged to the same regiment as her departed husband, and had seen him in Madras. A few days afterwards Spurling proposed marriage to her, and said he had a pension of Is. a-day, that he was receiving pay from the Tower Hamlets Militia, and was paid 10s. per week for drilling boys at a school. Sue refused to change her condition, but he continued his ad dresses, and asked her to buy the " marriage lines." She declared that she would never marry a man who could not buy the "marriage lines" fur himself. However, she re ceived such an excellent character of Spurling from many soldiers' wives and others that she ultimately agreed to marry him and pay all the expenses. Her intended took lodgings for her in the house of Mrs. Shannon, in Back Church-lane, Whitechapel, where she remained for a few days, and application was made to Major Woodcock of the Indian Mutiny Relief Fund Committee for a sum of money to "start" her and her new husband in a new home, and they were married on Monday last in a registrar-office in Whitechapel. She paid all the expenses of the wedding, and took her " marriage lines" (certificate) to Major VVood cock, who gave her an order upon Alderman Innis, the treasurer of the Mutiny Relief Fund, for the payment of £lO. She received a cheque for £lO from Alderman Finuis, which was duly honoured at the Bank of England. She gave the money to her husband, who, ou the wedding day, in spite of her remonstrances, paid more attention than he ought to have done to two soldiers wives, and spent a good deal of money with them. On Tuesday morni ng h er husband said he had some business to attend to an d must leave her for a few hours. She gave him very good a::vice, when he broke out into a violent passion and struck her. Ile then left home and called for a cab, into which he entered with two girls of the town, and she had never seen or heard of him since. Mr. Selfe—The £lO was given as a substitute for the pension. The applicant—lt was, sir. Mr. Selfe—And your new husband only stopped with you one night ? The applicant—Yes, sir, and he left me penniless. This is the secoLd day I have been witln.ut food. Mr. Self—He must be a mo s t heartless fellow. You say he has a p&nsion ? The applicant—Yes, sir, a pension of ls. per day, and Major Woodcock says he must apply for it on the Ist of next month, orloseit. Mr. Selfe—You can compel him to maintain you, and the parish will no doubt attach his pension. Mr. Wit!le, the second usher of the court, said he knew Spurling well; he had very frequently brought recruits to that court to be attested. He believed Spuriing was upon the spree Titer Lis ruatriage. Mr. Selfe—He must maintain his new wife. Give her a half-crown from the poor-box fund, and direct her to the parish officers, who will, Lo doubt, louk after her gracele:•s husband, and stop his pension. STEALING WINE IN THE LONDON DOCK.—lrchard an oil cooper, aged 35, in the employ of the London Dock Company, was brought before Mr. Se lfe, charged with stealing nine quarts of port wine. John Sayre, a constable in the service of the London Dock Company, stated that at one o'clock on Wednesday after noon his attention was called to tha oil-wharf in the dock, and lie was informed that a puncheon of wine had been pluuthred, and that many persons had drank, of it. lie instituted an inquiry, and discovered an " octave"-i-a small ct ak containing the eighth part of a pipe—in a very secluded place, called No. 2 arch, on the oil-wharf, where no wine ought to The prisoner was lying, near the octave in a vault, dnd drunk, and', ha conveyed him the station house. The octave vvat regaugad, and a deficiency of nine (parts vt•l. , awerta , Nce. There was a hung in the bung.!.- hole instl: , .ad of a " shile.," which was lying near ibe ca.,k. The witness produced the Wye, and added that two more octaves of wine were lying near the one that had been plun dered. They ougbt not to have been brought to the place where they were discovered. Mr. Selfe—How do you know the prisoner was drunk on port wine ? Sayre--When he reached the station-house he vomited, and brought a good deal of wine off his stomach. It was port wine. The prisoner admitted that he broached the octave of wine and drank some of it, but he did net drink nine quarts. Mr. Selfe—l don't suppose you did—not at one time. The prisoner —Others followed my example, but I could not help that. _ _ _ Mr. S elfe said the prisoner's conduct was highly disgrace ful, and sentenced him to pay a fine of 40s. for unlawfully drinkirg wise in the dock. The flee was paid. CONVICTION OF TWO DANGEROUS THIEVES.- Thomas Wicks, alias Convict Tom, aged 24, and James Johnson, alias Stewart, two well-known thieves, who, it is firmly believed, are ticket-of-leave men, although the police could not give legal proof of the fact, were brought up on remand before Mr. Selfe, charged with being in King-street, Stepney, for the purpose of committing felony, and also with committing two robberies, one at the resi dence of Mr. Benjamin Simpson, No. 2, Bromley-street, Commercial-road East, the other at No. 9, White Horse street, Stepney. It appeared that the attention of the police had been called to the suspicious movements of the prisoners for some time, and their footsteps h a d b een d ogge d f rom d ay to day, and houri to hour, but the constables employed had no thing tangible on which to act until Sunday afternoon last, when they were found loitering about King-street, Stepney, and peeping through the key-boles of the doors of houses, the occupiers of which were from home. Mills, a detective, 306 K, asked them what business they bad in the street, and why they were peeping through key-holes. Weeks said it was very hard he could not turn the corner of a street with out being molested. They were taken to the station-house, and gave fictitious names; but tbeir real address was No. 25, Lomas-buildings, Bull-lane, Stepney. On searching a drawer in a room in the lower part of the house, Mills found four pawnbrokers' duplicates, all relating to property that had been stolen. On proceeding to a room upstairs Mills perceived that the lath and plaster had been partially removed. There was a large hole in the ceiling, Mills thrust his hand through it, and discovered a secret cupboard, in which were deposited a jemmy, two files, a bunch of skeleton keys, and a latch key. The latch key was identified by Mrs. Elizabeth Simpson, of No. 2, Bromley-street, who now attended, and said that on Friday morning last, soon after she had taken in the milk for breakfast, she heard a noise in the passage, and upon. going to ascertain the cause of it, she saw a man hastily leave the house. She missed from a table in the parlour the latch key now produced. Her parlour contained a quantity of dirty linen prepared for the wash. Mills produced a coat, the duplicate relating to which was found in a tin box in the lower part of the prisoner's house. Mills said that the street door of the house in Bromley-street was forced and broken. Thera were marks such as would be produced by a jemmy like that found in the prisoner's house. _ _ Mrs. Simpson hi entified a coat produced by a pawnbroker, and pawned by a female, as the Property of her husband. Ann White, the wife of James White, of No. 9, White Horse-street, Stepney, identified anothereoat produced by a pawnbroker, and pawned by Wicks. She saw Johnson put ting on the coat in the passage of her house on Friday last, and he started with it on his back and made his escape. The prisoner's, after some hesitation, pleaded guilty, and said they had been drawn into bad company, and depraved women, with whom they cohabited, instigated them to com mit robberies. Mr. Selfe said the prisoners appeared to have been camp ing on an organised system of robbery, and sentenced Therm to six months' imprisonment and hard labour.
