IRELAND. DUBLIN, THURSDAY MORNING. OUTRAGEOUS CON DUCT OF AGRICULTURAL LABOURERS -GREAT DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY. The ordinal) , quiet of the county of Kilkenny has been disturbed by riots of a nature not commcn 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 tut of the employment of reaping machines fir the first time by several large farmers in the district, which necessarily had the effect of abridging the labour usually given at this time of the year to harvestmen, who travel to Kilkenny and elsewhere f. eon Connaught to get in the early grain pr,vious to embarking for England. It appears from Sunday a repor's furnished by the local jour nals that on . a large number of workers assemble d in the streets of Kil kenny, waiting to be hired after chapel, according to custom. Exasperated on finding, however, that binders 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 implemen's, 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 labourwould 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 difficu , ty the congregi tions repairing to and returning from their respective places of worship could make good 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 ovirt act of violence, however, was apparent till towards evening, when Mr. James Walsh, of Outrath, near this city, came into town to hire women 29 binders, he Laving supplied himself with a reaping -machine, and there fore not requiring reapers. Mr. Walsh was immediately as sailed by the mob, booted 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 most menacing manner, through Higb-street to the Victoria Hotel, where he fortunately was able to take shelter without receiving personal injury. Subsequently, however, the blood of the turba vulgaris being up, they made serious threatening demonstrations against more than one farmer who bad the temerity to offer labourers from Is. to ls. 6d. per day for reaping, 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 most 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 most violent manner. An eye-witness describes the onslaught made upon the unfortunate farmer as a moat terrific affair, declaring that be 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 condition." 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 next morning it assembled in stronger force, divided itself into two bodies, and marched out of town to destroy the reaping machines wherever they could find then. Their destructive course Is thus traced by an eye-witness:— • "OUTRAGE AT MOUXTRATII. "Mr. James Walsh, an extensive and respectable farmer, 1 residing at Outrath, and acting as poor law guardian for that electoral division, was on the land, superintending the operations of his workmen in a large field of wheat, some being engaged with the obnoxious reaping machtne, and others mowing a portion of the crop with scythes. The rioters approached the field in three bodies, all proceeding in the same direction, although not exactly by the came route. They broke through fences, and made gaps in hedges as they went, but seemed careful not to trample on the corn crops, 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 machinit was at work, and with loud cheers at once proceeded to its demolition. The men in charge attempted no resistance, but asked to be permitted to remove the horses, lest the animals might receive injury in the operation of smashinfy the Irnehine, and the mob graeou-ly e:ncleeeez,ded to grant the terms asked, suffering 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 machine being chiefly of wrought iron and cast metal, they experienced some ditti culty at first in carrying out their object, as such stones as were to he obtained on the land were not heavy enough to permit of expeditious operations. However, having con trived, with infinite labour, to break some of the metal wheels into fragments, those weighty fragments supplied means of breaking up the rest, and so, having utterly de molished the machine, they marched off, carrying away wit, them the greater portion of the fragments. The men engaged in mowing the corn had taken the opportunity, whilit the rioters were engaged with the reaping machine, to slip away with their scythes, which were sought by the mob before departing, but without (fleet, as they had, it appears, resolved to permit no reaping in the country with anything but the hook. 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 disappointed that they were as yet precluded from joining in the ruernina's rnusentents. Mr. Walsh, from what he had seen and beard in Kfikenny the previous night, had apprehended that be might receive this unwelcome visit in the morning, and had brought a loaded revolver with hint tt the field fir the protection of his pm p?rty. He was at the farther end of the field when the first body of rioters en tered it, and (iv! moment they made their appearance some of the women in his own employment ru-hed upon Mr. Walsh, pinione4 his arms to his stiles, and made a close pH sorer I ,l' him, whist the mob reinained—not, as they al leged, hem having any sympathy- with the rioters, hot to prevent blued from boing shed on (Wier side. Consequently the IT cecrling,s here pas seri off without arty person receiving hiurr, and the mt , l) havino• divided into two sections, one uent rozh the fields in tiie Bennett's-bridge cr Pigeon'. Pak direction. "DESPERATE ATTACK ON MR. HOWISON. "The two sections into which the mob had separated a Outrath would appear to testi have again re-united fur a considerable time. It would seem to bate bees the body which left Mr. Walsh', land and Lock their course across the fields that proceeded to the house tf Mr. Howison, the nearest farmer who had provided himself with another of Dray's reaping machines, for the number of rioters there is stated net to have exceeded a hundred, of whom not more than four or five were women. Mr. Wm. Howison is a re• spectable Scotch settler, a retired revenue officer, are believe, who came to reside at the house of Pigeon -park and farm the lands attached to it a year or two ago. He was engaged on Mendes/morning in cutting a crop of oats, having five men and 15 women emp'oyed in the field where the reaping machine rot long since purchased by him was at work. Pigeon-park is situate* abcut a mile in a straight direc tion from Outrath, and the shouting of the rioters there or ati 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 he 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 son, Richard, aged 21, with another, in the hope 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 his 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 Howison lost no time in bearing the message, and anxiously urged upon the party the necessity of giving their attendance promptly, as from the shouting beard at Outrath 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 inf orme d ns, the Bennett's-bridge consta bulary patty had not yet got their breakfast, and they looked upon it as unreasonable that thry should be asked to go on duty before partaking of that wholesome meal. Miss 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 proceedings, and take a most heroic part in them, in defending her father from his sava ge assailan . s, her bandaged arm and wounded and swollen band gave sufficient proof. On the app roac h of the mob, there being still no si g n of the arrival of the p olic e ,ll lr. Howison endeavoured to draw home the reaping -machine from the field to the house, In order to put it in a place of security; however, he h ad ~not driven horsest h h e e njusta tthe its Sfartherr than a lane leading to his farm-yard, w gate of the field the mob made appearance.eeiugsortue guns, the fellows were apprehensive to advancing, they at once took shelter behind the walls, and commenced, from that post of vantage, to burl s isevers of huge stones urine the machine, the horses, Mr. Howison and a his and daughter. The horses became alarmed and and air. llowis6n seeing that be would be unable to pro restsit'ne4, v pro tect his property unless be actually were to shoot down his assailants, which be never bad any intention to do under any circumstances having merely charged the guns with powder, h e asked the rioters to desist from pelting stones at the horses, off- r i ng that if they would allow him to unyoke the animals and take them safely away, be would not resist whatever proceedings they might have designed; but otherwise threatening to lire 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 gut', but as at this moment the father received another blow T H from a large stone, directed with tremendous force, on the side of the head, and fell down quite stunned, both his sons retreated backward through the field, pursued by a portion of the mob, whilst some of the others rushed upon the machine and commenced its destruction, and others attacked Mr. Howison, whose daughter had raised himin her arms, and had warded off several blows made at him, receiving severe injuries on her hand and arm in doing so. Ste states that, but for the interference of two men, members of the mob, who did what they could to protect him from the others, be would certainly have been murdered in her arms. One ferecieus miscreant in particularseized him by the throat, brandishing a reaping -hook over his head, and sweariet , that he would cut his head off; and whilst engaged' in this fearful struggle, Miss Howison saw a ruffian grasp at her father's gogoldwatch—a very valuable one — an d tear i t 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 fellow; quitted hold of Mr. Howl son, and his daughter was permitted to assist him towards the house, he being almost unconscious, and scarcely able to move. In the meantime, whilst the destruction of the machine was ;going fo rwar d , some o f t h e r i oters wer e pursuing Messrs. Richard and Andrew Howison as they retreated through the field towards the Waterford road. Richard threw his gun amongst the standing corn, hoping that it might remain there undiscovered, and got over the wall to the road. Andrew, upon reaching the wall, finding his pursuers close upon him, turned; and, presenting the gun, fired at the rioters, but of course without injuring them, as it contained no ball. He then, profiting by the alarm of those who followed him, laid the gun against the wall and climbed over; when over,. he reached his hand to take the gun, but one of the pursuing party came up and snatched it before he could catch it. The family of an adjoining farmer, named Quirk, having then run out to protect the young Howisons, their pursuers turned back, and joining the rest of the mob, all then returned down the avenue from the house, first breaking tt , e two guns into fragments, and leaving the latter behind them on the ground. The injury done to Mr. Howison's reaping machine was not by any means as extensive as that which Mr. 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 Pigeon-park. 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 bruises. Richard and Andrew Howison escaped without injury, but one or two younger children were struck and h u rt by stones, and, as I have said, Miss Howison's right band and arm were much hurt. I saw Mr. Howison in bed, where he had been attended and his wounds dressed by Dr. Bradley. He bad 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 Dr. Bradley did not apprehend at pre sent that dangerous consequences were likely to ensue from the injuries, it was not deemed necessary to take aay de position yet from Mr. Howison. "MINOR OUTRAGES. "The portion of 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 bad contrived to hide them on 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 acd 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 get 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 the 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 Loughboy, named Partle, who resisted on being hooted by the mob, but immediately received a blow of a reaping book, which cut through his bat, and but for the defence the latter affirded, his head 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 apprehension 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 Stoneyford on Tuesday, on the requisition of Col. Wemyss. The Earl of Dcsart was expected to be present, and Mr. Hort, R.M., who had returned since the previous day to town, as well as Mr. Curtis, county inspector. The intention was, we understand, that arran gemen t s s h ou ld be ma d e to bring another reaping machine to Mr. Ilowison's farm under a sufficient protection, and cet his crops, in order to show tbat mob violence will not be permitted to intimidate far mers to give up the use of any machine they may think proper to use. We sincerely hope this arrangement may 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 person being identified. " A man came into town on Tuesday from Outrath with a broken scythe, and stated ithat he bad been engaged to mow corn for Mr. Walsh at Bs. per day, but that he was warned off and his scythe broken by a mob, who told him that if ever he mowed anything but grass again, he should be prepared to give up his life." LATEST PARTICULARS—ARRIVAL OF THE MILITARY. The subjoined is dated Kilkenny, Wednesday night " The excitement which existed here for the last two days bas subsided to a great extent, owing, no doubt, to the \ prompt measures adopted for the repression of future out rages. Last night, at 12 o'clock, a special train arrived l here from Dublin, bearing two troeps of the 3d Dragoons, under the command of Col. Unett ; and to-day a special ; detachment of 50 constabulary, under the cotamand of Mr. Auchmuty, 5.1., from the del: of in the Phoenix Park, also , . i armed. This force has been distributed in hest) quarters i of the city where riotous manifistations were most strongly I apprehended, but up to the present to ()evasion has arisen for their ac'ive it.te;hrecce. I understand that a party ( f the harvest men forcibl y cut down the crop of a Scotch farmer named Valiance, at Grange, about four miles from the city to-day, and insisted upon being paid. They then intimated their intention of returning to-merrow for the purpose of stacking the corn, but it is not likely that they will carry out their promise, as Mr. Valiance has ob tained a guard of eight police to sleep on his premises. This evening, Mr. Hort, R.M., proceeded with a party of the 3,1 Dragoons, under command of Capt. Sitwell, to Itirrhfield, the residence of Mr. Richard Stnithwick, J.P., late member' for the county, and arrested four men who were fully identified by two scythe-men as having been of ' a party who bad 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 inhabitants, containing three banks and a splendid barrack, with a large store of arms and ammunition, should have been left, since I the disbandment of the Kilkenny Fusiliers a few days since, under the charge of a barrack-sergeant only." THE CAHIR TITLE. This title, about which such an animated discuFsion has lately occurred, has led to the publication of the following in a Dublin paper:— . . " We have been informed that the ilst heir to the barony of Cahir, now in abeyance, Captain James 31ontague Brown, 93d Highlanders, commanding the reserve of that regiment in Ab-rdeen, this officer being grandson of the late Mr. James Butler, of Curraghbonn, in the county Cork, and nephew tif the late Captain James Butler, 6 . 2i1 Regi ment, who were next in kin to Richard Butlir, first Earl of Cahir, the father of ihe late Earl of Glen gall."

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—AuG.I2. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.) IN RE SIMON. Th's 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, Brompton, and also of 37 and 38, Mark-lane, a wine merchant and general commission agent. Mr. Doria appeared tar the bankrupt, and Mr. Abraham for M. Ballereau, the detaining creditor, who opposed the application for discharge. Mr. Abraham having expressed his desire to examine the petitioning creditor, Mr. Doria objected that Mr. Abraham had no locus stanch, his 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, be might examine the bankrupt or anybody else. M. Mioux was then examined by Mr. Abraham—He said —I ern a Catholic priest living in Cadogan-terrace, Chelsea. I lent £lOO to the bankrupt last year. I gave it to him in ba. k notes ; his wife was present, but no one else. I never asked him to pay me back because I heard he could give me a little interest; but I have had neither principal nor in terest. I made him bankrupt because I thought he was an honest man, and I thought it was impossible for him to pay what he owed if he was not made a bankrupt; therefore I sacrificed myself and my money, aecause I said, " I will try to know what he will do." [This witness speaking English but imperfectly, gave a portion of his evidence in the French language.] Mr. Abraham—Did any one ask you to make him bank rupt ? 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 liable to the cost of the bankruptcy. The Commissioner—l shall not require him to answer that either. Mr. Simon, the bankrupt, deposed that he 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 was not entered in the ledger, but it was 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 £lO9 of M. Mioux. M. 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 assets; 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 nut 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 assignee)—No • not of me. Mr. Abraham—Of your clerk I did, and of the bankrupt. Upon the bankrupt being examined again, be deposed that though he had no property he had £3OO worth of good Cebts. 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 him 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 few 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 was 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 perfectly satisfied. Mr. Abraham—Then I must ask you to adjourn the choice. My client lives in Nantes, and is a creditor for £2OB. He has not yet proved his debt and cannot vote in the choice until he has done so. It will take some time to communi cate with him for that purpose, 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 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 same respects unsatisfactory. Mr. Doria said the choice paper was already signed ; three creditors only, however, had proved—the petitioning credi tor and two others; but Mr. Abraham had been very active iu 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, my 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 £l5O. 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. _ _ The Commissioner—How came they then to trust a man when they have such a wonderfully bad opinion of him ? Mr. Abraham—l am not concerned for them, but my client says he has been defrauded, and he does not care what the expense may be, but he is determined to punish the bankrupt. The Commissioner—Who is your client ? Mr. Abraham—A dealtr in sardines. Cointuissioner—What are sardines ? Mr. Abraham—Little fish sold in tin boxes. My client, in ccanpliance with an order he received from a Mr. Olde nove, sent sardines to the amount of £lOO for cash, and having incurred all the expense of their transit, instead of cash all he got was two worthless bills drawn by Mr. Olde novc upon the ba6krupt. Mr. Oldenove gets the sardines, divides them with the bankrupt as his consideration for accepting the bills, and we got no money. The solicitor to the petitioning creditor here interposed for the purpose of explaining that the reason why other cre ditors had not appeared in opposition was, not as Mr. Abrahbm had stated, because they feared they would get no dividend, but 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,licitor—Satisfied with tke state of the bankrupt's affairs. The Commissioner—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 be was represented or they would prove, but they left the matter entirely in his client's hands. By Mr. Doria—l am managing clerk of the solicitor for the petitioning creditor. Mr. Abraham—You are solicitor for the bankrupt as well. Witnes—We have been acting for him, but sse arc net doing so non•. The Commissioner—l an) not satisfied with the case. Let the bankrupt go into the box again. Bankrupt deposed that he owed £1,100; about half of that sum wai due to foreign creditors. The Commissioner—l think it is doe to those foreign creditors that there should be an adjournment. For how long do you propose the adjournment should be ordered ? Mr. Abraham—Ten days will be sufficient. The Commisshiner—Then 1 shall adjourn it to Thursday, Ali_. ‘26. Mr. Abraham asked his honour to direct the bankrupt to file a list of creditors, as hitherto he had not done so. The 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 bankrupt's 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 tbat felony ? Mr. Abraham—l believe he would. The Commbsioner—What reason have you for so be lie% ing ? Mr. Abraham—That he is a foreigner living temporarily in England. The Commissioner—Temp irarily ! (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, beettuse havig acted fraudulently he will be afraid of being again imprisoned. Bankrupt deposed he had been in England eight years ; out of which period for three years -he had been in the em ployment of Mr. Lewis, a pill manufacturer, of Bond-street, and for four years he had been in trade on his own account as a wine merchant-and general commission agent. The Commissioner—And ycu want me not to give him protection ? Mr. Abraham—Yes, sir; because be ought not is have come to tris court; he is making use of this court to get his discharge. The Commissioner—That is just what every man in his position ought to do. I shall discharge him from custody. rned to Thursday, Aug. 26. C Discharged s sig c c n o e r e d s ail. n o ri g . o y u Mr. Charles Tburnwood and Mr. Spenceley, of Goodge street, Tottenham-court-road. In July, 1857, 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 in Chancery, did not diviiie the funds in hand ; and several dts,enting creditors having adopted" hostile proce. di ,gs, 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, holdi ng it r 9 secur i ty 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 ; t h e 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 Slough, and Mr. Stubbs, of Alzon, appointed assignees. POLIO E INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE.—Capt. R. Dawson, was aim.. mooed upon the complaint of James Hatubleton, a licensed steam pilot; for that he, on the 31st day of July last, Icing then the master of the William Jolliffe, a steam-ship un exempted from pilotage, and navigating within 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 persol, to pilot her, contrary to the Act 17th and 18th Vic., cap. 104, sec. 353. 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 ehargable on the William Jolliffe between London and Gravesend. He then called the complainant, James Hatnbleton, 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 he said "No ;" and without stopping be 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 Oft. of water at the time, and the pilotage to . Gravesend for that draught is £1 7s. Cross-examined--I do not know Capt. Dawson, and can't say whether he has been pp 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 nut 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 instant, superintendent of the Steam Navigation Company, on the .`1(1 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 marls 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 cf 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 vvaterrnan. I saw the name of Captain Dawson on the books at the Trinity House as the holder of a Board of Trade certificate. Lord Mayer—That certificate should be produced. Mr. Winekworth—lt shall be. I have it in court. Don't you know, Mr. Hambleton, 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. 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 seex it done. Mr. Winckworth—But suppose the chief mate had been on the paddle-box instead of Read, and bad 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. Coe, a waterman, who was with the complainant when the latter made his signal, was examined, but could give no positive evidence as to the fact of Read being in charge of 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 hand once as if to the man at the helm. There was no other evidence. Mr. Win kworth contended that there was no proof, and that the case wasone of the most trumpery that bad ever come before a Court. He believed it had originated entirely from ill-will, as the complainant, two days after the affair of the William Jolliffe, wrote to the company fur apart of their work, and because he did not get it took out the summons. To that summons he (Mr. Winckworth) bad two objections— first, that the William Jolliffe was an 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, and 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 existing exemptions ; and then the 1.25 th sec., c. 69, Geo.l V., which exempted from theobligation to carry pilots all coesting vessels, &c., having captains or mates duly licensed; and he also produced a certificate granted to defendant by the Board 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 11 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 House, 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 passenccr= tztPler the 37th section of the Merchant SliippLig Act of 1:354. Mr. Fletcher took a technical objection to the Board of Trade certificate ; but the oisjection was overruled, and The Lord Mayor expressed his opinion that every possible precaution had been taken in navigating the vessel, as ac cording to the complainant's own shoeing there had been a man to look-cut upon each paddle-box, and that every requirement of the law 1134 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. IVinckworth 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 OP 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, Spitalfields, 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 whi , h (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 candlesticks. Rogers pointed out Davis as having brought the things there, and on the officers inquiring if he was the man who bad 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 but lately come home after 6 months' imprisonment, and that person Invited him into a cab, in which they were driven to Thrawl-street. The finding of the writing-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 identlied all the property, which she saw safe at nine in the morning of the 4th inst., and missed at three in the afternoon, little more than an hour before the officers found the articles in Spitalfi-lds. The prisoner Rogers protested that she bad no knowledge that the things had been stclen, and Davis, in reply to the usual question, said he had nothing to offer now in defence, and wished the case to be sent to trial. 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 for trial. R O BBERY 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 he was passing a fruiterer's in Shepherdess- walk, near the Eagle Tavern, when the prisoners insisted upon his treating them, and Griffin laid hold of his arm. lie pushed her away, upon which she struck him a blow in the mouth. The others then got bold of him, and another woman coming up said, " Your watch will be gone." On looking down he discovered that his watch, worth 10 guineas, was already gone, having been adroitly snapped from the guard chain, which was hanging loose from his neck. The-prisoners were remanded. MARYLEBONE. —SHOPLIFTING By FEMALES. Mary Everett and Eliza Wright, the former describing herself as a paper colourer, and the latter as a book-folder, both of them very respectably attired, were placed at the bar charged with having stolen two shawls, value 15., the property of Mr. Gill; a pawnbroker, carrying on business in the Hampstead•road. John Crick, an assistant, deposed that on the previous evening, between 5 and 6 o'clock, the prisoners entered the shop, and asked to look at some shawls. Witness placed a dozen of different pa . terns and qualities on the counter, and arttr turning them many times they said that none of them suited. He (the witness) was about to move the shawls away, when be observed Wright c3nceal one of them beneath her dress. He told the prisoners he was quite sure that they bad 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 one when threatened with being given In charge. Ali. Long—What evidence have you against the woman Everett? Witness—A wan who was In the shop heard her say to Wiight—" Kick it:(alluding to the shawl first-dropped) under the chair." Mr. Long—ls that p:rson present ? Witnrss—He is not, sir. Grounds, 94 S, stated that when be took the prisoners into custody, neither of them had anything to say. lie (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 HOWC// and Mary Whiting were charged with having been concerned in the following s'aring• robbery : It appeared from the evidence that on Tuesday afternoon a wan named Daniel Gould, residing at Kensington, went into a public-house in B ul-strect, Lisson-glove, and that while there the male prisoner rushed in and took his handker chief, containing 225. in silver, from his pocket. The pri soners, who hastily - quitted the house, were subsequently taken into custody by police-constable 93 D. The woman, whose complicity in the robbery was not satisfactorily shown, was discharged, and Howell. w ho pleaded guilty, was sen t to h ar d l a b our i n the House of Cor rection for two months. ASSAULT ON A CONSTABLE.—Nathaniel 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 mautrer in Dorset-triews, Dorset-9uate, and also observed hi m t ry sever al doors as if with the inten tion of making an entry. Tie officer, who was not satisfied with the account which he gave of himself, took him into custody, when the prisoner exclaimed, " I'll serve you cut. you ---," and threw hint down with great force. Mr. Long convicted Ili.= in the penalty of 205., or 14 days' imprisonment. CLERKENWELL.-I)AniNG ROBBERY OP SILVER PLATE.—Three fashionabl y-attired youngmen, well-known thieves, who gave the names of Henry Phillips, Henry Evans, and James Dunbar, were placed at the bar, befo:e Mr. Tyrwhitt, charged with stealing nor silver soup ladle, one parr of sugar tongs, anti two silver knives and forks, from the dwelling-house of Mr. H. W.:Elder, es . ding at H ornsey. The prisoners were seen. by Mrs. Eliza Cottratn loitering about near the prosecuto;?'s house, and on her return from the post-office she saw Phillips come out of the garden with something in his possessi.on. An alarm was given, and the prisoners followed and f)und lying in a field. They were questioned, and gave a vs ry unsati-factory account of them selves ; upon which they were locked up, and while at the station the coup ladle fell from one of their trousers. That morning Sergeant Monaghan, 38 N, searched the field where the prisoners had been lying, and found near the spot the silver knives and forks produced. The prisoners said they , went to Hornsey, as they bad got a half-holiday, and added that Phillips found the properly. Mr. Tyrwhitt sentenced the prisoners to three months' bard labuur in the House of Correction. SOUTH WARK.—Tm3 BERMONDSEY NUISANCES.— In the course of the afternoon Dr. Challice, the medical officer of health of the ]3ermondsey district, attended with Mr. Drew, the vestry clerk, to prefer a complaint against Mrs. Sarah Cripps, a glue and scratch manufacturer, of Seven-mead, Bermondsey New road, for carrying on an offensive trade— that is, the manufacture of scotch—which 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 c.suplaints from the inhabitants of the Bermondsey Ne w-road respecting the offensive smells which daily emanai'ed from the defendant's premises. He ace , )rdingly visited tLcm, and perceived that it was caused by the use of . sulphdreous acid in the manufacture of scuteh, 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 timo 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 fur ten years carried on the process of making seutch with sul poureous acid, and no complaint had been made before. Dr. Challice intimated to Lis worship that the new process had not been breught into Liao 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. Comte 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. Combe, after some discussion, adjourned the sum mons until Monday, to give the defendant an oppsrtunity 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, or she will render herself liable to heavy penalties each day. LAMBETH.—DESPERATE ASSAULT ON A POLICE CONSTABLE.-++A costermonger named David Hall was charged before the Hon. Mr. Norton with violently assault.. ing Police-constable M'Carthey, P 145, under the following circumstances on the 19th of July last : The complainant stated that on the evening of the day io 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 order, 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 be 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 in 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 wiiat 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 .tad carried about him a knife, with which he has threatened to rip up any one who should try to take him into custody. The police had been cautioned against him. The complainant stated that he was informed the prisoner was in the habit of carrying a pickaxe about with him. Mr. Norton remarked that it was a very cowardly act on the part of the prisoner, and that he should send him for trial. The depositions were taken, and the priSoner wrs corn- Toi•trfi f.r trial. GROsS CRUELTY TO A HORSE.—Thos. Day, dairy man, No. 26, Pitt-street, St. George's-road, Southwark, was charged 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 Wm. 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 ribc. The poor creature went on with great difficulty, when on reaching Astley's Theatre several of the foot-passengers cried out " Shame !" 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. Nortqn—Whatsort of condition was the horse in ? Smith—ln a 'rery 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 harse twice. Smith said that when he said 10 or 15 times he spoke within the mai k. Guest corroborated the evidence. The prisoner, in answer to the Charge, said that he 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 pelice-station yard adjoining the court. On his return, he observed that the atnimal was nearer 16 than 8 years of age, and was to'aqy unfit to be used. It was more likely worth 10d. than ,ElO, and could hardly put a leg to the ground. If he (the prisoner) consented to have it sent to the knacket's to be killed, he should not send him to prison. The animal was sold to the knacker fur 205., and killed. THAM ES.—TitH SOLDIER'S WIDOW.—AN UNHAPPY MARRIAGE.—A woman of respectable appearance and ad dress, a native of Ireland, who was in a sta'e of great afflic tion, came before Mr. Selfe and requested his interfereuce under the following circumstances. The aiplicant stated that she was the widow of a soldier named Patrick Readdy, of the. Ist Madras Fusiliers, who served his country in I n di a un d er H avelock and Neil], and was killed between Allababad and Cawnpre. 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 let 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 be had formerly belonged to the same regiment as her departed husband, and had seen him in Madras. A few days afterwards Swirling 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 Ms. per week for drilling_ boys at a school. She 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, Whitecbapel, 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 " sten" 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 Wood cock, who gave her an order upon Alderman ' , lnnis, the treasurer of the Mutiny Relief Fund, for the payment of Lill: 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 morning her husband said he had some business to attend to and mast leave her for a few hours. She gave him very good advice, when he broke out into a violent cession and struck her. Ile then left home and called for a cab, into which be entered with two girls of the town, aed 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 second day I have been without food. Mr. Selfc—fie must be a most heartless fellow. You say be has a pension ? - The applicant—Yes, sir, a pension of ls. per day, and Major Woodcock says be must apply for it on the Ist of next month, or lose it. Mr. Belfe—Yoil can compel him to maintain you, and the parish will no doubt attach his pension. Mr. Widdle, the second usher of the court, said he knew Spurling well ; he had very frequently brought recruits to that court to be attes'ed. He believed Spurting was upon the spree rfter his marriage. Mr. Selfe—lle must maintain his new wife. Give her a half-crown from the poor-box fund, and direct her to the parish officers, who will, be doubt, look after her graceless husband, and step his pension. STEALING` WINE IN THE LONDON DOCK.—Richard Spicer, an oil cooper, aged 35, in the employ of the London Dock Company, was brought before Mr. Selfe, 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 he was informed •that a puncheon of wine had been plundered, and that many persons had drank of it. Ile instituted an inquiry, and di>ewered an " octave"—a small c• sk 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 b% The pr:soler was lying near the octave in a vault, dead drunk, and he conveyed him to the station house. The octave was regauged, and a deficiency of nine quarts was ascertained. There was a bung in the bung hole inst2ad of a " slice," which was lying near the cask. The witness produced the alive, and added that two more octaves of wine ware lying near the one that had been plun dered. They ought not to have been brought to the place where they were discovered. Mr. Selfe—How do you know the priEoner was drunk on port wine ? Sayre—When he reached the station-house he vomited, and b: ought a good deal of wine off his stomach. It was port win's. . ; The priAmcr admitted that he broached the octave of wine and drank st me of it, but he did net drink nine quarts. Mr. Se don't supp: . se you did—not at one time. The prisoner —Others followed my example, but I could not help that. Mr. Selfe said the prisoner's conduct was highly disgrace ful, and sentenced him to pay a fine of 40s. for unlawfully drinking wiee in the dock. The fire was paid. CONVICTION OF TWO DANGEROUS THIEVES.-- Thomas Wicks, alias Convict Tone, aged 24, and James John,son, alias Stewart, two well-known thieves, who, it is firmly believed, are ticket-of-leave men, although the police could not give legbl proof of the fact, were brought up on remand before Mr. Selfe, charged with being in King-sheet, Stepney, for the purpose of committing felony, and also with committing two robberies, one at the resi dence cf 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 fur some time, and their footsteps had been doeged. from day to day, and hour 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-holes of the doors of houses, the occupiers of which were from home. Mills ' a detective, 306 K, asked them what business they h a d i n the street, and why they were peeping through key-holes. Weeks said it was very hard lie could not turn the corner of a street with out being molested. They were taken to the station-house, and gave fictitious names ; but their 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, too files, a bunch of skeleton key s , an d a l atch k ey. Th e 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. There were marks such as would be produced by a jemmy like that found in the prisoner's house. _ Mrs. Simpson identified 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 another coat produced by a pawnbroker, and pawned by Wicks. She saw Johnson pet 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 carry ing on an organised system of robbery, and sentenced them to six months' imprisonment and hard labour.

IN THE BANKRUPTCY OF H. PAINE. This was a meeting for the last examination of Henry Paine, of No. 234, Strand, tailor, who was bankrupt before.

(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. lie had , it appeared, gone with his wife to attend Divine service at Highbury, and the acci dent in question took place at the Stepney statien upon his return. According to the plaintiff's case, the train had quite stopped and be was about to alight when it suddenly moved on again, and the consequence was that lie was thrown down between the train and the platform and re ceived most severe injuries, among otbors 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 sufficient 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 tae 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 t o b e li eve that lie had brought the misfortune upon himself, by getting out of the cars iage while the train was in motion, and before 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, wliq was in the same car riage with the plaintiff, also deposed to the same fact. Mr. Jusiee Willes, in sutnnyng 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 majority would be received. 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 T. THE LONDON GAS-LIGHT COMPANY. This was a special jury taus, 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 for the plaintiff; Mr. Bovill, Q.C., Mr. Q.C., Mr. Webster, and Mr. G. Denman were coun sel for the defendants. The action was brought to establish the right of the plaintiff to a pateut for purifying 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 to a conclusion. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—LANCASTER, AUG. 10. CIVIL COURT. (Before Mr. Baron Martin and a Special Jury.) ECCLES V. THE MAYOR AND CORPORATION OF BLACK. BURN. This was an action of trespass, for entering upon anil m building walls on the plaintiffs' land, and for diverting the river Blackwater. 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. Seger, Q.C., and Mr. Russell for the defendants. The plaintiffs, it appeared, are cotton spinners at Black burn, and owners of a plot of land abutting on the river Blackwater. This land is very valuable for manufacturing purposes, from its contiguity to the liver. The defendants, acting, as they supposed, under the authority of the Blackburn Improvement Act, 1854, enclosed a part of this land, com pensating the plaintiffs by adding to their other land, di verted the river from its ancient bed, so that it no longer passed over the plaintiffs' land, and ran a sewer under the land. The plaintiffs contended that the land in question was without the scope and operation of the Local Improve ment Act. .The learned counsel for the plaintiffs having opened his case, Mr. Atherton admitted that be could not resist many of the facts opened for the plaintiffs, and suggested that an ar rangement might be come to on terms. After a conference between the learned counsel, A verdict was taken for the plaintiffs, subject to a refer ence as to terms. An action of trespass to try the right to a piece of land, which was of an exceedingly uninteresting character, re solving itself into a question of boundary, finished the civil business of the assize. On the cr;mi nal Ado the Lord Chief Baron tried an indict ment fr,r ap2 up , rn an old waman, and an assault on a she riff's officer, which was, in fact, a public-house row, and that finished the criminal business. LIVERPOOL, AUG. 12. The learned judges of this assize. arrived here yesterday, and opened the commission. 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 mazslaughter, 8 with rob bery, 19 with burglary, 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 first list of 21 CUISFS, 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 maiked for special juries. Mr. Baron Martin commenced trying civil causes at 12 o'clock, and having disposed of an undefended action for money lent, no other causes wereiready to be proceeded with, and after an ineffectual attempt to call on various cause s i n 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—GLOUCESTER, AUG. 12. CIVIL COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Ryles and a Special Jury.) RABOT v. BROWN AND OTHERS. Mr. lltuldieston, Q.C. Mr. Dowdeswell, an d Mr. Griffiths appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. Sergeant Pigott and Mr Gray for the defendants. The plainiiif in this action, Andre Rabat, 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 6piller and Brown. The plaintiffsued the defendants for maliciously and without reasonable cause having him arrested, on December 26,18'7)7, up n an allegation that 'hey had a claim upon him for the sum of £515 55. for damage done by his negligence to a care , of wheat which he had brought from Marseilles to Cardiff, and that he was ab nit to leave Cardiff with his ship in ballast for a fereign part. It appeared that on the. 18th of Srpsember, 1837, the defendants, by their agent at Mar -861..8, had chartered the plaintiff's brig to bring a cargo of 1,262 qr. of wheat from Marseilles to Cardiff. When the vessel arrived at Cardiff it was found that the cargo bad 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 do so, but tha 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 w4en an offer 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 for the freight. The defendants then made an affidavit that they had a claim on the 'plaintiffin respect to the damage dyne to the corn, and that he was about to quit England, and upon that affidavit a capias issued, and he was arrested on the 26th of Dec., 1857, and kept in custody till the 20th of February, 1858, when be put in bail. The defendants 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 pre-ant defeLda 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 firet trial, and 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 show that he bare acted bondfide, gave evidence that he had consulted Mr. Hughes, the barrister of the South Wales Circuit, as to whether the plaintiff should be arrested; but when that gentleman was examined, it appeared that he had given his opinion on a statement of facts which showed that there was clear negli gence on the part of the master (the plaintiff), and had al vised that the facts should be carefully looked into before any arrest was made. Mr. Mid/Heston and Mr. Sergeant Pigott having twice addressed the jury, • Mr. Justice 13yles summed up the evidence at great length, and finally directed the jury, in substince, that if they believed the damage was done to the cargo by the negligence of ihe captain or owners, and CLOt by the perils of the sea, or had the appear a nce of being so caused, and the plaintiff was either going ab:oad, or the defendants had been informs d or believed that he was about to do so, there would be reasonable and probable cause for arresting the plaintiff, and they ought to find a verdict for the defendants. But if they believed that the facts necessary to constitute reason able and probable cause did not exist, and the defendants did not Le'ieve that they existed, lint were actuated by some malicious or indirect motive, suet, 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.)
