LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—AUG. 16. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.) IN kE DAVID III:GlIES. Mr. Nelson, of the firm of Lawless and Nelsen, solicitors for the assignees under 1113 a',ove ban kr uptcy, applied fur an order directing the official assignee (there being no trade assig nees yet appointed) to empower some person, by warran t of attorney, to proceed immediately to Australia (the destina tion of the bankrupt), for the purpose of seizing any pro perty which may be found upon him when be arrives there. The Commissioner asked what proceedings bad been taken in this matter ? Mr. Nelson replied that adjudication of bankruptcy had been made against Hughes, and that that adjudication had been disputed, but confirmed. The Commissioner desired to know why the present appli cation had not been made at the time of the hearing of the disputed adjudication ? Mr. Nelson replied that it was impossible then to discover that the bankrupt had abscouded with sufficient property to warrant the employment of a de tective, cr that course would have been adopted. It had, however, been ascertained that the bankrupt would have at least £3OO with him upon his arrival in Australia. The Commissioner—But he has been gone some time, has he not ? Will you not be too late?? Mr. Nelson replied that the Australian mail steamer was going to start in a few hours, and it was expected that it would art ive in Australia before the Red Jacket, the vessel in which the bankrupt had decamped. His Honour then granted the application. IN RE HENRY HALL AND CHESLYN HALL. The bankrupts were the solicitors of New Beswell-court, whose case not long since excited some pub!ic attention. Mr. Froome now applied to the Court for leave to ex amine witnesses under the following circumstances. The father of the bankrupts was a trustee for a Mr. Cunliffe, de ceased. Upon his death be devised the trust to his sons. They became defaulting trustees to the amount of £3,000, that sum having been proved against the bankrupts' estate. Upon this being discovered, an application was made to the Court of Chancery for the appointment of new trustees, and they were accordingly appointed, the bankrupts being directed to give up all the deeds, papers, Sm., relating to the estate. In obedience to this order the bankrupts had delivered up several deeds to the new trustees, and had made an affidavit that they were all they possessed. Upon being examined, however, it was found that several were missing. The inquiry was induced from one estate, the Ravenbili estate, having been sold, and the sale proving inoperative, in consequence of a defect in the title. There were besiees other estates at Colne, which were advertised for sale in September next, and which were valued at between £7,000 and £B,OOO. With respect to the latter it was hoped that a sufficiently good title might be matte out to satisfy any purchaser, but still it would be very desirable if some deeds , supposed to be among those that were mi ss i ng , an d which it was ascer tained bad been executed between 1791 and 1820, could be produced. In accordance, therefore, with this object, the deeds in question had been advertised. Mr. John Holland, a dealer in waste paper, having seen the advertisement, and observing that it applied to the name of Cnnliffe, immediately repaired to the office of Mr. Froome in Lincoln's-inn-fields with the deeds now produced. Upon being asked how he hal obtained them he stated that be had purchased them in the ordinary course of his business from Mr. Peake, a cheesemonger in Fetter lane, with a quantity of waste paper ; but at the time be purchased the paper in question he was unaware that the deeds were amongst it. The deeds were very valuable, especially that of 1791, inasmuch as it might lead to the dis covery of others which were still missing. He (Mr. Froome) therefore desired to examine Mr. Peake for the purpose of ascertaining bow he had obtained possession of these deeds. Mr. Peake was then examined. and said—l have several times purchased waste paper from the same person of whom I bought this; he is a man who wears a kind of fustian coat, and has always signed his receipts in the name of A. Linton. I know nothing of the man beyond having made a few pur chases of him in this manner, bat I should know him again if I saw him. Mr. Froome—The waste paper in which the deeds were found weighed 6 cwt. Mr. Peake—The deeds might as well have been bank notes as far as I was concerned, so little did I imagine what was in the paper I bought, and which I sold to Mr. Holland. It would give me the greatest pleasure to give you every information in my power; but what I have stated is really all that I know of the matter. It having been found upon reference to the deeds that they bore the name of Entwisle, Mr. Plews (who appeared as solicitor of the assignees under the bankruptcy of the Halls to watch the proceedings) —Entwisle ! That is the name of a clerk in the employ ment of the bankrupts. The Commissioner—Well, now that you have a clue you will be able to follow it up and discover the rest of the deeds. Some discussion ensued, during which it appeared that during the progress of a petition for private arrangement the bankrupts had been permitte Ito carry on their business, and that Entwisle had acted for them in a variety of ways. Mr. Plews said he had no doubt that Entwisle, whose ad dress be could obtain, would give every possible informa tion. Mr. Holland said he had frequently discovered briefs, deeds, and other valuable papers in the waste paper be pur chased from solicitors' offices; that in some instances they were worthless, but they were sometimes otherwise. He bad purchased the papers in question from Mr. Peake, as bad been stated, and had given every information in his power upon discovering from the advertisement that they were valuable. Mr. Froome said the bankrupts had stated that a Mr. Rymer was the holdttr of some of Mr. Cunliffe's deeds; some bad certainly been obtained from Mr. Rymer, but he, like the bankrupts, was now out of the jurisdiction of the Court. His Honour expressed a hope that the information already elicited would lead to the discovery of the whole of the deeds. IN RE BAYLIS. This was an examination meeting in the case of J. Baylis, a cape arm lac C ton. NnrvEip Mr. Lute appeared for the assignees, and Mr. Linklater for the bankrupt. Mr. Linklater said this was a case in which bankruptcy should never have taken place, as the bankrupt had never been a trader. The Commissioner—l have nothing to do with that. If he has been made a bankrupt wrongly he must apply to another Court for relief. Mr. Linklater said he was not disposed to do so, as be had already signed a consent to the adjudication. As the accounts bad not been filed he proposed an adjournment till the return of Mr. Commissioner Goulburn, to whom the ease properly belonged. Mr. Leete, for the assignees, had no objection to the adjournment provided the bankrupt gave up his books, which he had not hitherto done. Mr. Linklater said there was but one hook, and that con tained the amounts recei% ed from Sir William Foster for the purpose of carrying on the business with respect to which Baylis was made bankrupt. The business belonged in truth to Sir William Fester, and Baylis was merely his agent. The Commissioner—Who is Sir Wm. Foster ? Mr. Linklater—A solicitor carrying on business at Nor wich; be is also engaged in other businesses. The Commissioner—Then the bankrupt Is merely a ser vant ? Mr. Linklater—Just so, sir. Mr. Leete—So they contend. The Commissioner—The question Is whether the creditors knew be occupied that position. Mr. Leete—We say they did not. Mr. Linklater—We have no objection to give the as signees every facility, but if we give the book I have men tioned it must be returned, because it is not the bankrupt's property. The Commissioner—Not the bankrupt's property ! Mr. Linklater—No, sir. It is the property ,of Sir Wm. Foster. The Commissioner—The question is not what is his pro perty, but what appeared to be his property. If he was holding himself out; to the world as an independent person, telling no one of this Sir Wm. Foster, and his connection with him as agent, why, he cannot new turn round and say, "I am nobody," or "I only represent Sir Wm. Foster." Mr. Lisklater—The business was carried on in the name of '• Baylis and Co." The Commissioner —That is the very case I am putting. What business had he to call himself Baylis and Co. The creditors have a right to take possession of evr rything be longing, or apparently belonging. to Baylis and Co. Mr. Linklater—As far as Mr. Baylis is concerned he can have no objection to give up everything. The Commissioner—Do you appear for Sir Wm. Foster? Mr. Linklater—No, sir. The Commissioner—Then why trouble yourself about him ? A proof was then tendered by a creditor, to which Mr. Linklater objected, on the ground that Baylis was not liable. The Comtnissioner held that beim an accep!ance by Baylis under the name of Baylis and Co., be was liable. Mr. Leete said Chancery proceeding's had been Com menced against Sir William Foster, but it was said the bankrupt would arrange with the assignees. The Commissioner—Do the assignees wish the matter to be adjourned? Mr. Leete said they wished the adjournment to be con ditional upen the production of the book mentioned. The Commissioner would not grant a conditional adjourn ment. Mr. Linklater said the book should be delivered up. The Commissioner—lt is the duty of the assignees to seize everything belonging - to the bankrupt, and they ought to have seized all these things without inquiring to whom they belonged. Baylis never proclaimed himself as Sir William Foster's agent. The assignees have their war rant, and they must use it. An adjournment was then ordered. IN RE WESTROP. This was a sitting for the choice of assignees in the case of J. Westrop, a gluve manufacturer of Staining-lane. A preliminary statement by Messrs. Hart Brothers shows : Creditors, £9!,509; those holding security, £4,424; pro perty held by creditors, £4,850; debtors, £388; and pro perty, about £B,OOO. it Appeared that the bankrupt bad been bankrupt before, his bankruptcy being superseded a few months ago ; but, finding himself unable to carry out the arrangements under which he Pvccectied in supersedieg,, he was obliged to come .....„ eemn to the court. _ Mr. Allen, a manufacturer, of Norwich; and Mr. White, warehouseman, of Cheapsuir, were chosen assignees. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.—Ano.I6. (Before Mr. Commissioner Phillips.) The learned Commissioner sat for bail cases and motions. The next bail day is appointed for Monday week. IN RE THOMAS CORI3EY—SING e on baiIULAR CASE The in . Ms was an application for a discharg . solvent had filed a petition under the Protection Act, and had not been heard. Whilst without protection he find in curred debts, and was now in prison. Before the vocation 11r. Reed had cbtained permission for the insolvent to file a Petition under the Prison Art, and to he heard under the 2131 h 'wino rf the Protection Act on the same day. The insolvent v now applied to be bailed under the prison petition. r• 1,014, - t! pe a ared for a creditor, and eltiPcted to the present application. The Registrar (Mr. Ingpen) considered that the insolvent was in contempt under the protection petition, and could not be heard on an a until the other procePerlincrlo)n for bail under the Prison Act ad been heard. Mr. Commissioner Phillips entertain in the view taken by his officer, and refused toos day the application. At a subsequent period of theer oy nu M. Reed intimated that be should renew the application the next court day. IN RE GEORGE NOYCATT—BAN INSOLVENCY. XRUPTCY AND Mr. Reed applied to dismiss th e oth c te o petition,. and to revest the 1644 on p report of one of thq tilt court, thAt the debts had been paid and satisfied, and further, that a =um of upwards of £4OO in court as surplus shomid be paid to Mr. Notcatt. INIr. Commissioner Phillips inquired of the learned counsel whether such things frequently happened in bankruptcy. Mr. Reed thought not. In this court, however, creditors were frequently paid 20s. in the pound. Mr. Commissioner Phillips said that when he a•as the junior commissioner b had t audit the accJunts, and he was surprised to see the number of cases in which cre ditors were paid in full. "I was," added the learned Com mis,ioner, " perfectly astounded at the number of cases iu which creditors in this court were paid 20s. in the pound." His Honour granted the application. IN RE JONATHAN WORRELL HINDS-BILL TRANSAC- TIONS. The insolvent, a young man who had resided in Portland place, and who had been connected with " bill transactions," applied to b 3 discharged on his interim order of protection until the hearing. Mr. M'flale, one of the detaining creditors, attended with his solicitor, and objected to the discharge, on the ground that the insolvent would abscond if he git out of prison. There bad been great difficulty in arresting him, but there would be no objection to his being discharged if bail was given. . _ - Mr. Commissioner Phillips said there could be no bail in a Protection Act. The Legislature had altered the law and be could not help it. There was nothing in the act against the present application. The attorney for Mr. M'Hale remarked that the debts were £6,000. Mr. C. V. Lewis, the inwalvent's attorney, objected to the solicitor appearing in the case. The learned Commissioner sustained the objection, as it was contrary to the practice of the Court to allow a solicitor to oppose. Mr. Lewis assured the Court that the insolvent would appear on the hearing. There were, he admitted, detainers against him. Mr. Commissioner Phillips discussed the question cf the discharge, and said, as he saw nothina in the act against it, be was bound to order the discharge till the day of hearing. Granted accordingly. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAA EVENING, West Awdry—l am under-sheriff for the county of Wilts, and have been so for several years. I have the writ of ca. sa. in the action of " Burleigh v. Futcher." I issued a warrant and sent it to Hinder. It is usual for solicitors to commu nicate with the under-sheriff in eve of a settlement. I har no communication from the .s.:4!e:tor in 13t1r1;.igL's ease with after the arrest. Cross-examined—Mr. Lee spoke to me upon the subject of this arrest on behalf of Futcher. I have no doubt I in formed Mr. Lee that I had instructed Hinder. I had not received any direction from Cox and Sons to proceed upon this warrant. Mr. Smith summed up his evidence. The mistake was not with the defendant er the sheriff, but from the solicitor of Mr. Burleigh or Mr. Fu teller not having done his duty. Mr. Slade replied for :the plaintiff upon the whole case. He hoped this would not be an instance of a great wrong being suffered without a remedy. They were now twitted by the standing counsel for the ender-sheriff that they had gone against the bailiff instead of against the under-sheriff. But whom were they to sue? They believed the wrong to be in the bailiff, and therefore, out of kindness to Mr. Awdry, they did not attack him. Which, then, did they believe— that fine specimen of a Wilrshire farmer, Mr. Fu•cher, or the boUnd bailiff of the sheriff. He submitted they would believe the former. Had they any doubt that that letter had Bone out of Messrs. Cox's office ? That letter bad never been returned. If it had not reached its destination, would it not have been returned ? Or were they to suppose that that little thief had purloined the letter. If they were of opinion that the defendant had received that notice of withdrawal, they must find a verdict for the plaintiff. Mr. Baron Channell then summed up. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff. Damages, Points of law were reserved. GARDNER V. GRACE. Mr. Prideaux was counsel for the plaintiff, and Mr. Stone for the defendant. This case, which was an action of trespass for driving a carriage over the plaintiff; a little boy of four years of age came on last Friday, but was adjourned to this morning, in order to give the defendant an opportunity of adding ano ther plea. The plea having been added, ►he case was now called on, and it was arranged that a juror should he with drawn upon terms—the defendant paying to the plaintiff £45, and each party his own costs. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—LIVERPOOL, Aug. 16. To-day an application was made to Mr. Baron Martin to know when he would fix to take the special juries. His Lordship answered that he would not take them before Friday, but would not fix them. He proposed going through the list of common juries and special juries in their order. Complaints had been n3:.de about sending common jury causes over to the other court to be tried on former oc casions, and he was therefore determined to try all the causes that came before him; it should be the voluntary act of the parties if they went over to the other court to have their causes tried. CIVIL ►SIDE. (Before Mr. Baron Martin.) MASTERS V. THOMAS. This was an action for assault and false imprisonment. The defendant pleaded " Not Guilty," and a justification that the plaintiff was suspected of a felony on board his ship. Mr. Brett appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Aspinall for the defendant. It appeared that the plaintiff, who is a Nova Scotia man and a Creole, was formerly cook an board a vessel called the Antonio Varis, and left that ship with a certificate of good character, and engaged and signed articles as steward and cook on board the Robert Jones, from Liverpool to Valparaiso, in December last, at the wages of £6 per month, of which [vessel the defendant was captain. The vessel sailed for Valparaiso, and while there the plaintiff was cautioned to look to look sharp after the mate. It was his duty as steward to take charge of the property on board the ship. The vessel afterwards went to a Spanish port called Calderos, and while there be mate, in the absence of the captain en shore, asked the plaintiff for the key of the store room to stew away tome bags of sugar. The plaintiff gave him the key, and soon after went to see what he was about. He found that he had drawn a gallon of rum from a ruin cask, and asked him what be bad done that for? The mate told him to say nothing about it, and he would make it all right at sea. The plaintiff answered that he should tell the captain as soon as he came on board; and the mate then said, " He would serve him out." On the captain coming on board, the mate, who was a Welshman, spoke to the cap tain, who was also a Welshman, in Welsh, and the plaintiff could not understand what they said. He was then called aft with one of the apprentices by the mate, and asked to open his room. He opened it, and saw a coat thrown on his bed. The mate asked what that was; he said he did not know, or who had put it there. His door was not locked. The mate then searched in the room and found some other things, which he said were his as well as the coat, concealed in his berth. The plaintiff knew nothing about them, and had not put them there. The mate said to the apprentice, " You are my witness as to the finding of these things." The plaintiff was then called by the captain and told that the mate charged him with stealing his clothes. He said be did not know what to think of it, as the mate was not sober, but he should make him (the plaintiff) "safe for the night." The captain then had him put in ironsand confined till next day at 11 o'clock, when he was taken before the consul ashore, and the captain and mate then stated the charge against him, and he told the consul his story. According to the plaintiff the consul said there was no case against the plain tiff, and advised the captain to take him back en board his ship. The captain, however, refused, and said he wanted him kept in custody till the ship was ready to sail. The consul told him if he was not satisfied he had better have him tried before the Spanish judge, but if be kept the man in custody be did it on his own responsibility. The captain, then, according to the plaintiff, saw the captain of the port, and had the plaintiff taken into custody, and lodged in the Spanish prison, which was small and ill-ventilated. He had no bed to lie on, only grass and a bar of iron for a pillow. He was kept there for 33 days and nights, without any change of clothes, and his only food was a pennyworth of bread at 7 in the morning, and at noon two spoonsful of beans. During this time men charged with murder, with stabbing with knives, and with thieving, were thrust into the same cell, and it was frequently so full that they bad not room to lie down. The cell was ill-ventilated, and the weather hot. This treatment broke down his health, and boils and glandular swellings broke out upon him. At this time he had a large glandular swelling on his neck, the con sequence of that imprisonment. During his imprisonment the captain visited the prison to look after a sailor, and, seeing the plaintiff, said, "Are you there, old boy, 1 have 4,••• ,/ A • *h., .VtliratOn of 33 days, •ishan the vessej was ready to sail, be was tak en out of the gaol and mareire in custody down to the ship, where he was put to work as a common sailor, and told by the captain that he was disrated, and rated as a common seaman, at £3 per month. He was refused permission by the captain to go and see the consul, and in order to do so he jumped overboard in his clothes to swim on shore, but was caught and brought on board again, and the captain told him he would take him properly before the consul. He then ordered the mate to iron him, and the irons were put upon him in his wet clothes as he was, and he was kept confined till the ship sailed. On arriving at Liverpool the captain handed him an account of what was due to him for wages, rating him at £3 per month, deduct ing the expense of his maintenance in prison, and the cast of a man working in his place, and making it appear that only £3 were due to hint. The plaintiff complained to the owners, and told his story, and they, after inquiry, dismissed both the captain and the mate, and paid the plaintiff his wages in full, fur which he had signed articles. For the defendant, it was contended that on the charge of theft against the plaintiff being made by the mate, he took both before the consul, and that the subsequent imprison ment of the plaintiff was the act of the consul, and not his act, the consul having sent him a note to take to the captain of the port; and that he (the defendant) was not responsible for the badness of the Spanish prison and its regulations. The defendant was called to prove this, bat the mate, who was in court, was not called. His Lordship, in summing up, told the jury that tojnstify a private person in takingatrother into custody a sulr.tantive felony must be proved, as well as that the person taking such a step had reasonable ground for believing that the person charged had cc mrnitted the felony. In this respect private persons differed from constables, in regard to whom it was a sufficient just'fication that they had reasonable ground for believing that the person taken into custody had committed a felony. This was the law of England, and the law was the same on board British ships ason the land. In this case there had been no attempt to prove that a felony had been com mitted, though the mate was in court; and it might betaken that that was a false accusation altegethef. The plea of jus tification therefore failed. If the jury theuaht that it was the defendant who caused the plaintiff to be imprkoned, he was then responsible for all that he bad suffered. If they thought that the imprisonment was the act of the consul, then a stnall part of the plaintiff's treatment was all that the defendant was liable for. But, really, as to this, it seemed to him that if the consul had ordered the imprisonment, there would be some written proceedings to show that this was the act of the consul ; for he supposed that no man fit for the office of consul would hear an inquiry and order a man to be sent to gaol fir above a month without making some minute of the charge and evidence given before him to jasiify sorb a sen tence. Nothing of the kind was proved before him, and he did not suppose that a consul would do all this by word of mouth merely. If the jury thought the defendant respon sible for all the plaintiff bad suffered, the plaintiff was en titled to substantial damages for the injuries he had sus tained; but he advised them to give such reasonable damages as mere was a probability the defendant could pay; other- ' wise by their verdict they would ruin the defendant, and the plaintiff would get nothing. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages gal CROWN COURT. (Before Lord Chief Baron Pollock.) In the case of Thomas Lewis ' who was indicted f o r h av i ng shot at John Law on the 30th May lat.., with intent to kill and murder him, but in which the evidence did not sustain the "intent" charged in the indictment, his lordship, ad dressing Mr. Brett, who appeared for the prosecution, said that lie should order the prisoner to be indicted for the mis demeanour of unlawfully wounding. The learned Chief Baron then took occasion to say that he had found numerous cases of " stabbing" charged as felonies, which gave the calendar a character which it really did not daserve. In many of them the " intent" required by the statute to support the charge of felony could not be edand the cases resolved themselves int o misde mmeaainntoariirnsflor " unlawfully wounding," and as such were properly triable at the sessions at much less expense to the country, and very much less inconvenience to the prisoners, who had in some instances to remain in prison for a long period awaiting the assizes. In all cases where the use of a knife had arisen in a mere drunken squabble, and where there was clearly no i lent upon the part of the prisoner i t s t e t r r a t t e h s e , (at the time most probably in a state of ititoxication) to harm," in order to render the t i w i m i h o aeg e t der that circumstanceso: Ri p le tt in n ccte‘tllga. trloef" ls fe : investigating e llol i n e huffily t )r s !; n e e i i a ' a N s ' cases, s u h , d e w h o b a u e d l would f l i s l i c c e i a i r . t t e a t d t ilt e i the prisoners might be more readily disposed of at the ses sions. In several instances of "stabbing" during the day the jury, under his lordship's direction, acquitted the prisoners r‘f the "felony," and found them guilty, under Lord Camp bell's Act, of the misdemeanour for unlawfully wounding. IN RE LINGARD. Mr. Denney applied il,;tiledlZiTarge of this insolvent. lie had beeu discharged by the Chief Commissioner, and was now in prison for the costs in the action on which he was discharged. The Commissioner refused to interfere, leaving the matter in the hands of the other commissioner. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. WESTERN CIRCUIT.—BRISTOL, AUG. 14 AND 16, (Before Mr. Baron Channel) FUTCHER T. HINDER. Mr. Slade and Mr. Prideaux were counsel for the plaintiff, and Mr. M. Smith and Mr. H. T. Cole for the defendant. This was an action for an arrest and false imprisonment. The defendant pleaded " Not Guilty," and a justification tkat he took the plaintiff under the authority of a writ of ca. sa. The plaintiff replied to this that notice of the with drawal of the writ had been given to the sheriff. The plaintiff was a farmer at Fovant, in Wiltshire. The defendant was a sheriffs officer at Salisbury. The action was brought to recover damages for an arrest and false im prisonment, under the following circumstances :—ln 1856 the plaintiff was in difficulties, and endeavoured to make a compromise with his creditors; two of those creditors, how ever, refused to agree to the composition, and one of them adopted proceedings, and obtained a judgment. A warrant was issued and placed in the hands of the defendant, but, as the creditor afterwards came into the arrangement, and a notice having previously been given to the defendant to suspend the execution of the warrant for 14 days, a notice was put into the post-office, stating that the matter had been settled and that the warrant was withdrawn. The plaintiff then, on the 2d of May, returned to his house at Fovant. He saw the defendant on different occasions and spoke to him, but nothing occurred until Saturday, the 14th of November, when the defendant met the plaintiff and arrested him upon the warrant. The plaintiff said the matter was settled ; the defendant said it was not settled. The plaintiff said he could show him the receipts if he would go to his house. The defendant said he would not look at any receipts. The plaintiff then said he would pay him the money. The defendant said he had no orders to receive money, and he must go to gaol at Salisbury, and the defendant accordingly took him to Salisbury gaol on the Saturday evening. He sent for a solicitor at Salisbury, but did not obtain his discharge until the following Wednesday night at half-past 11. Mr. Lee's charges were £9 15s. The plaintiffproved the arrest. Mr. Cox, solicitor, of Size-lane, stated th a t h e h ad been in negotiation with aMr. Genge, managing clerk to a soli citor, in consequence of which he had written, on the 20th of April, to the defendant, ordering the execution of the writ to be suspended for 14 days. After that an arrangement was come to for the settlement of the action-10s. in the pound down, a promissory -note for 55., and the costs. He wrote to Genge, enclosing withdrawal of the ca. sa. He also wrote to the defendant on the 2d of May, with a similar withdrawal. Mr. Cox's clerk was called to prove putting the letter into the post-office ; but it turned out to be a " pressed" letter, and he could not say by whom, or to whom, the envelope was addressed, or whether it was addressed at all. He be lieved it to have been addressed " Sarol. Hinder, Esq., Sheriff's officer, Salisbury." All the letters be posted to him he believed to have been directed in that way. Mr. Slade produced the copy of the letter, as the defend ant did not produce the original. The Judge said he would receive the copy, giving the de fendant leave to move. It appeared to him that it was rea sonable to suppose that the envelope was directed according to the address contained in the letter. Mr. Cox, cross-examined—Did not communicate with the under-sheriff. Mr. Smith said he could provide a complete direction by the sheriff. The Judge saittif so there might be a doubt whether the plaintiff could recover. The case was adjourned on Saturday night to this morn ing. The trial was resumed this (Monday) morning. Thomas Todd Walton, the postmaster of Bristol, said that a letter, of which this was a copy, was sent to Mr. Hin der, Salisbury, it would be returned to the Post-office in ...nom not hp fnund at Sa .lisburk and then it would be returned to the writer; out snouta tne au dress be inserted in the body of the letter it would be sent to the proper address first. This evidence was objected to by the defendant's counsel, but was received subject to a motion. It was shown that the defendant had received a fee of /I Ils. 6d. in May. George Genge—l am clerk to Mr. Swyre, a solicitor at Salisbury, and was employed to settle the actions of " Beck v. Futcher" and " Burleigh v. Futcher." On the 23d of April I sent a letter to the defendant, stating that the matter was in course of arrangement, desiring him to sus pend the execution of the warrants, and requesting him to know his charges. I hea r d f om him, stating the charge would he £2 2s. I wrote to him offering him £1 lls. 6d., which he agreed to take, and I sent him a cheque for the amount, and received a notice of the withdrawal of the war rant in Burleigh's case from Messrs. CQ X and Sons, his solicitors. What I did with it I don't know, but I can't find it in the office. Ewer, a corn dealer, andlmember of the town council of Salisbury, knew of the arrangement of the two actions in which Futcher was defendant. Knew of a warrant being in the hands of Hinder. Subsequently, frequently saw Futcher at Salisbury. Had a cornmunicatien with Hinder in May or June. Asked him if be wanted Fetcher, as he was in Sall-bury. Hinder said no, he did not want him. Futcher, brother of the plaintiff, was at Salis bury with him in July at the agricultural meeting. Saw Hinder there, but did not know whether Hinder saw them. Saw Hinder pass through the village of Fovant in August. Mr. Smith contended that there was no notice to the sheriff. The Judge said there was co notice unless notice to the defendant was notice to the sheriff, but he would give the defendant leave to move. Mr. Smith then addressed the jury for the defendant. The arrest was not wanton. The plaintiff bad been largely indeb:ed to several persons. An arrangement had been made with several creditors, but two proceeded against him Anil obtained judgment. The warrants were sent to the defendant to he executed. The writs were in the county of Wilts. They were suspended for a time. The defendant had notice they were suspended. He took no steps until directed by the sheriff. Mr. Slade sail that was not assigned. The Judge thought it ought to have been assigned. Mr. Smith said, he .sli?uld ask to amend in such a hard case.

(Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.) Win. Henry Hunt, 25, clerk, pleaded guilty to em bezzling Vat ions !Aims of money belonging to Not 1 Whiting, his master. Mr. Orridgc prosecuted, and Mr. Sleigh defended. It appeared that the prisoner had been in the service of the prosecutor, who is a colonial agent in Mincing-lane, at a salary of ,El5O a-year, and the embezzlements bad been going on since February, 1857, and amounted to about £570. Mr. Sleigh urged, in mitigation of punishment, the fact of the prisoner being drawn into difficulties from having assisted his parents. The prosecutor also recommended. the prisoner to mercy, and he was sentenced to nine months' imprisonment. Isaac Jacoby, 32, dealer, a respectable-looking Jew, was indicted for feloniously and corruptly receiving from John Wiley the sum of £7 for restoring to hint a gold catch which bad been stolen from his person. The evidence, U which W very briefly entered into, proved the following facts:—The prosecutor and a friend were, upon the night of the Bth JO, at a puhlic-house in Cran bourn-alley, kept by Massey, the pugilist. He there got drunk and fell asleep, and %oast in that state some of the c n,ipa y in the house stolehis watch, a gold one, which had cost him 18 guineas. Upn the next day the prosecutor went to Massey's and spoke to him about the robbery. The prisoner was at the bar, and fter some conversation Massey referred the prosecutor to he prisoner, who undertook to get the watch back, and got from the prosecutor the amount named in the indictoent for doing so, af , er which the prosecutor gave him int custody. When first ques tioned by the police-constalle about the matter prisoner denied that he had received Pv money or had returned the watch ; but afterwards said Massey had asked him to get the watch back, and that wa how he bad got himself into trouble. Upon the prisonerwas found £8 10g. Mr. Salter, for the defence after some discussion with the learned Commissioner upon the evidence being insufficient to show a corrupt motive ot the part of the prisoner, very h ably contended that nothinsad been proved to lead the prisoner to suppose the wash had bees stolen from the prosecutor. The learned Commissioter—That was really the main point for their consideration, The jury asked to look at the watch, which, it appeared, had been returned by the prisoner without the pendant bnw, and otherwise appearing as if taken from prosecutor by violent means. The jury returned a verdict of guilty. Mr. hurry said that, eight years ago, the prisoner had been convicted of defrauding a man of £39. In answer to the Court, tMe constable said that prisoner kept the very worst company, and was a frequenter of the house where the robbery pok place. It was one of the worst in the district. Poorer was at one time a sort of wdter of the Piccadilly Soon. Commissioner—Alc, that is not a proper or regular place, but I suppose no robberies 8r e committed there. Constable—Sometimes they are. The prisoner was sentenced to nine months' imprison ment. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.-Aug. 16. The sittings of the Court for the August general sessions of the peace for the county of Middlesex were resumed this morning, at the Guildhall, Westminster, by adjournment from Clerkenwell, before Mr. Pashley, Q.C., Assistant Judge; Mr. Creasy, Mr. Payne, Mr. Alderman Rose, Dr. Bateman, and Mr. Halswell. There were 32 prisoners for trial. William Woolley, 43, porter, was indicted for having stolen a pair of boots, the property of Messrs. Chaplin and Horne, the carriers, his employers, from a hamper on their premises in the Minories. The prisoner was a man of very excellent character, and the case against him rested chiefly upon the evidence of a person name O'Brien. It was con tended that his testimony was not reliable, and the jury ac quitted the prisoner. The trial of a cabman, named John Knight, for taking a young woman to a brothel in St. Giles's, and robbing her, was postponed until next session. George Plumridgc, 24, was indicted for having stolen a quantity of silk neckties and other articles, value £3O, the property of Frederick Conlin, his master. He pleaded guilty. The prosecutor, a draper and hosier in Drury-lane, stated that, altogether, the prisoner had robbed him to the extent of over £lOO. He allowed him £1 a-week and his board, and took him into his service without a character, on his representation that his former employer had been bank rupt, which he ascertained was really the fact. The Court sentenced him to one year's hard labour. Henry Suntmersby, 32, was indicted for having ob tained, by false pretences, and with intent to defraud, 10 decanters, value £lO, the property of John Deb - on, and 2 gallons of oil, and 8 lb.. of candles, the property of Geo. Moller and another. He p'eaded guilty. The prisoner was only discharged from t . , , e House of Detention, after undergoing a sentence of six months for felony a fortnight before be committed the offence he was now charged with. The Court sentenced him to 12 months' hard labour. George Gibbing, 26, was convicted of feloniously assault ing Sylvia Berner, with intent to rob her, in the White chapel-road. He was sentenced to 12 months' hard labour. (Before Mr. Creasy.) George Deacon, 21, was indicted for stealing a quantity of plate ;rem the residence of Miss Ellen Markland, No. 2, Lansdowne -road, Notting-hill. This prisoner was concerned in the robbery with one William Higgins, who was convicted last session, and sentenced to four years' penal servitude. The jury found him guilty, and it was then proved that he was a ticket-of-leave man. In 1850 he was sentenced to 10 years' transportation. The Court now sentenced him to 10 years' penal servi ta le. Mr. Ribton and Mr. Dunbar prosecuted; Mr. Lawrence was for the prisoner. George Wallace, 26, was indicted for stealing five sheets and other articles, value 10s., the property of Lydia Eliza Paisley, and other articles, value 10s., the property of Edward Frederick Browne. The prisoner, it appeared, was a regular plunderer of gardens where clothes were hung out to dry. He was convicted, and sentenced to eight months' hard. labour. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE.—A well-dressed fellow, who gave the name of Francis M. Gloughan, was charged with robbing a lady named Brett. Among the witnesses examined was Mr. J. Smith, broker, 138, Leadenhall-street, who de posed that as he was entering Leadenhall-street from Grace church-street that morning be saw the prisoner, accompanied by another man, go up to a lady as she was setting her foot off the pavethent to cross the road. The prisoner passed his left band into the lady's pocket and drew out a purse. which he showed to his companion, and they then both made off. Witness told the lady she had been robbed, and then fol lowing the two men, seized the prisoner by his collar, and asked him to give up the purse. He denied having it, and struggled violently, but in order to secure him witness pushed him into a shop, and when there I shut the door and secured him till a policeman came and took bite into custody. As he was being pushed into the shop, however, he threw the purse into the street, when it opened, and the money which it contained flew about the road, and was picked up by different people. The prosecutor identified the purse produced as her pro novtv, and deposed that when taken from her pocket it continua that althenuis the silver had been restored she had not seen the half sovereign since. It was proved that the prisoner was a well-known thief, and that be had been previously convicted and sentenced to six months' imprisonment under the name of Green. He had nothing to say, and was fully committed for trial. Thomas Mash, 19, was charged, upon the clearest evi dence, with having stolen a handkerchief from a gentleman named Cunningham. The Lord Mayor inquired what was known about the prisoner. Partridge (gaoler)—He has been here no end of times, my lord. I can't say how many. Brett (detective) —And he has been twice convicted at the Old Bailey. Lord Mayor—Then leniency would be wasted on him. I shall commit him for trial, and he will go to the Old Bailey again. Prisoner—My Lord, I have no father, no mother, and no friend iu the world, and what can Ido ? If you send me to prison again I must steal again when I come out. I can't help it. Lord Mayor—You have had plenty of opportunities of reformation, hut you have never availed yourself of them. Prisoner—Then send me somewhere where I can reform. Send me to sea, if you please. The Lord Mayor said it would be useless to extend leni ency to so incorrigible an offender, and the prisoner was fully committed for trial. GUILDHALL.—A NEW TRICK IN HORSE-DEAL ING.—Edward Ntawford, a horse-dealer, of the London road, Southwark, appeared, in discharge of Lis bail, before Alderman Gabriel, for further examination relative to the charge of obtaining £5 under false pretences, with intent to defraud a Mr. Huggins of Rotherhithe. The evidence taken on the former occasion was to the effect that the prosecutor attended Dixon's Repository in Barbican, for the purpose of purchasing. a horse, and agreed with th e prisoner for-a bay horse fur £9, the prisoner con senting to take £3 down and the rest after the prosecutor had had time to try and approve of the horse. Tne prisoner induced the prosecutor to accompany hint to his yard in the London-road, and while there he concocted a story that the horse did not belong to him, and that the owner would not part with it without the whole of the money at mice, upon which the prosecutor demanded his money back, .but the prisoner refused it. _ _ Mr. Nash, for the prisoner, said it was merely a joke say in r horse was not the defendant's, in order to get the other £4. He was prepared to show that the prosecutor in the first icstance did intead to get the rest of the money. The prosecutor said the defendant was willing to return bim his money, and he did not therefore wish to press the charge. Alderman Gabriel said if there was no fresh evidence of course he could not go on with the case. Mr. Nash said the defendant was willing to return the £5 and all reasonable expenses, but the 'only difficulty in the way of an arrangement was the excessive demand made by the prosecutor for expenses. The prosecutor said he only wanted to be paid for his trouble. _ _ _ Mr. Nash said be was prepared to pay £G, which he con sidered was ample remuneration. Alderman Gabriel said be could be no party to any com promise. The case was not strong enough at present, but if the prosecutor was not satisfied, and produced further evidence, he would certainly cammit the prisoner for trial. Mi.. Nash then sugge.fted.on adjournment of the case for half an hour. After some further consideration, Alderman Gabriel said he bad decided upon remanding the prisoner on bail, and if the prisoner satisfied the pro secutor there would be no occasion for him to appear again. A SCOTCH CASE IN A SCOTCH MIST.—Robe t Begbie, an engraver, and John Buzzard, an apprentice to the same business, were brought up charged with having com mitted several hinds in Edinburgh. John Mark Bull, a City detective officer (after handing in a printed harntrill, circulated by the superintendent of the Edinburgh poice, directing everybody generally, and the police in particular, to search for and apprehend the prisoners on several charges of fraud, without stating the nature or the ;mount of the frauds, or upon whom com mitted) said-1 apprehended Buzzard at No. 1, Little Moor fields, and upon telling him he was charged with commit ing several frauds in connection with Begbie, he said he did not know that Le had done anything wrong, but if he bad he must have b een t h e v i ct i m o f the other prisoner. He however believol it was a ll a s traightforward transaction. Alderman Grbriel.—Have you telegraphed to Edinburgh since you appr e h en d e d B uzzar d ? Bull—Yes,he might be sr, and I receiver] an answer requesting that detained till an officer arrived with a warrant.. From further information I received I went to Isleworthi where I found t h e pr i soner Beg bi e. I n cons equence of the state of mind i n w hi ch I f ound hi m, su ff er ing as he wa s from deliriutntremens, I did not think it prudent to say anything abort th e c h arge against him until I got hint to the station. Alderman Gabriel—Had the prisoners lived any length of time where yo t f oun d t h em ? Bull—No, Sr. B uzzar d way li v i ng in a temporary lodg ing; and Befbi e , a ft er an excess i ve li t o f d r inking, was found wanderug about and taken to the Isleworth Union. At the Moor-ane station I told l3egbic that he was charged with being oncerned with Buzzard in committing frauds n Edinburgl% upon which he said he certainly got the goods, but it was no fraud, and that he sold some and pledged sonic Alderman Gabriel—When did you telegraph to Edin burgh ? Bull—At fleven o'cicek on Surday morning; but I got no answer twit this morning in consequence of the .tele graph (from •eligious scruples) not working on Sundays. AldermanGabriol—What have you to say to this charge, prisoners, and why you should not be remanded ? AUGUST 17, 185 S Begbie—l relow I have got tbe goods frnw parties; with whom I was in the habit of doing business, but it was in the ordinary course of trade, and this young gentleman (Buzzard) pledged them for me. Alderman Gabriel—Have you got the names of the per ties the eoods were obtained from ? Bull—No, sir. . . . . . _ Alderman Gabriel—lt is strange that the Edinburgh police should have furnished so little information as to the nature of the charge, but it is quite clear the right men are in custody. . . . . The prisoners not being able to find any respectable per son to be bail for them in their present emergency, they were remanded until Tuesday (this day), in the hope that the Edinburgh police would coudescena to be more explicit in their next communication. WEST3IINSTER. A notorious young pickpocket, William Sullivan, alias Samuel Sullivan, aged 15, the son of a well known begging letter impo-tor, was charged before Mr.'Paynter with attempting to pick pockets in Vic toria-street. Web!), an (lacer of the Mendicity Society, said that be tween two and three o'clock on Sunday afternoon he was in Victoria-street, Westminster, when he observed the prisoner, who was in the company of another boy, making attempts to pick the pockets of persons, some of whom were on the way to attend Divine worship in Westminster Abbey. He saw the prisoner take a handkerchief out of a gentle. man's pocket, which seemed not to please him, when he put it back again. He then went up to another gentleman, from whose pocket lie took a red silk handkerchief, which he deliberately tied round his neck. After that he and the other boy who was with him sot down on the pavement. He laid it open, and found it all right, upon which he was about to put it in his pocket, when a man, who saw what the prisoner had done, gave him a slap on the side of his face, and took the handkerchief away. Mr. Paynter—Did he try to take any other handkerchiefs? Witness—He did. When he recognised me, and got into Orchard-street with his companions, I did not like to follow him there till I got the assistance of a police consta ble, knowing what desperate cl.taracters frequented the street. I cot police-constable Serle to accompany me. We succeeded in apprehending the prisoner. The other boy made his escape, as I was tripped up by some man, and I was in consequence much injured. Mr. Paynter—ls the prisoner known ? Webb—Yes, sir. He has only been out of prison about six months. Dennis, the gaoler, said that since then he had been twice at that Court. The pris9ner was sent for three months to the House of Correction. MARLBOROUGH STREET.—CURIOUS CASE—Thos. Evans, a private in the Grenadier Guards, was brought before Mr. [leaden charged with stealing a suit of clothes under the following strange circumstances : It appeared that a person named Pethers was on Saturday charged with having unlawful possession of a suit of soldier's clothes. The accused said he was staying at No. 9, Argyll street, and, having gone out for a walk, on his return home he found that a burglary had been committed, that a suit of his clothes had been stolen, and the regimentals left in the place of his own garments. As it was suspected that the defendant might possibly have aided a soldier to desert, Mr. Bingham, the sitting magistrate, directed the defendant to enter into his own recognisance to appear when called upon. Yesterday the prisoner Evans was placed at the bar, charged with attempting to commit a burglary at Padding ton. When the prisoner was taken into custody on Sunday night he voluntarily stated that the clothes he then had on were the produce of a burglary he had committed in Argyll street, and that he bad left his own regimentals at the house. On making further inquiry it turned out tat the soldier had deserted from the barracks—that he bad broken into the house in Argyll-street, and had stolen the clothes and left his regimentals in the house. The accused, Pethers, was of course discharged. The prisoner Evans having pleaded guilty, was sentenced by Mr. Beadon to six months' imprisonment. CHARGE AGAINST A CONSTABLE.—PoIice-constable Taylor, C 89, was charged with appropriating a sovereign, given to him by a prisoner in the Vine-street station, for the purpose of procuring- bail. A person named Leveston, of 5, Rochester-row, photo graphist, was brought to Vine-street station in a state of in toxication. He was locked up in a cell, and when he came somewhat to himself he gave a sovereign to the accused constable, who acted as gaoler on that occasion. According to the complainant's statement, the constable did not pro cure bail, but denied having received the sovereign. The complainant was taken to the police court and fined 55., having previously obtained the bail of his landlord. The complainant, Leveston, having made his complaint, the case was sent to this court to be investigated. The com plainant repeated that he did give the police-constable a sovereign to get bail with, and that he was able to call as wliness a woman who was locked up.with him in the same cell. Mr. Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, cross-examined the complainant and elicited that complainant had been in collision with the police before, and that he bad paid the woman's fine. A woman named Evans said she was taken to the station house, she supposed for being drunk, on Thursday night. A man was put into the same cell with her. She complained of the circumstance, but no notice was taken for some time. At last the man, who was the complainant, was removed to another cell. She heard the complainant say to the police-constable at the bar, " Here is a sovereign ; go for my bail." The complainant paid her fine as well as his own at the police court. . On cross-examination the witness made it appear that the transaction took place in a different cell to that men tioned by the complainant. Mr. Beadon said there were contradictions in the case without doubt. The question he had to ask himself was, what would a jury say to the evidence? Being of opinion that a jury would not credit it, he felt bound to dismiss the charge. At the same time, he must say it was clear that the irregularity of placing men and women in the same cell had been committed, but that was a matter for the consideration of the Police Commissioners. WORSHIP-STREET.--AN IMPUDENT ROBBERY.— A known thief, who gave his name Thomas Brown, was placed at the bar before Mr. D'Eyncourt upon a charge of robbing. a gentleman of his watch. Mr. Evans, the prosecutor, said that, In the forenoon, he was in the act of ringing the bell at a gentleman's house in the Kingsland-road, when the prisoner came , up and in qurren , but, haora be had time to speak, snatched his watch from his pocket, and snap ping it away from the guard-chain, ran oil with it. A witness named Miall stated that he saw the 'prisoner run across the road and through the passage of a public house, where a man laid hold of him • but another man then came up and took him away from the first, and the witness distinctly saw him hand a watch to the second man, and then run off again. _ _ Policeman 218 G saw the prisoner running and stopped him, but was induced to relinquish his hold of him fur a moment until a man came up and explained the matter to him, when lie again ran after and secured the prisoner. The prisoner was remanded. MARYIEBONE. —THE MATHEMATICIAN AGAIN DISTURBED. —Marco Maccarini, an Italian, was brought before jr.b Long, charged by Mr. Charles Babbage, the well-known mathematician, residing at No. 1, Dorset street, Portman-square, with creating an annoyance to him on Saturday eveuinz last by playing an organ in front of his dwelling, and refusing to desist when desired to do so.

DOG-STEALING. -- A middle-aged man, who gave his name Edward James, urea placed at the bar, charged with having stolen a valuable Newfoundland dog, belonging to Mr. Armour, an upholsterer, residing at 20, George-street, Euston-square. Mr. Buckley, 10, Crawley-street, Oakley-square, gave e v idence which went to show that on. Saturday night last, between 9 and 10 o'clock, as he was passing down the Hampstead-road, be saw the prisoner leading a dog which had round its neck a cord, and on witness looking intently at it, knowing it to be prosecutor's, he let go the cord, and the animal, upon being called by him (wit ness) ran up to him. Prisoner was questioned as to how he became possessed of the dog, when he denied all knowledge of it ; and on witness asking biro where he lived, he replied at 14, Wellington-street. He objected to let him ( w i tmes ,) accompany him thither, in order that it might be ascertained whether his statement was true or false, and at length admitted that be had given a wrong address, adding, that if he had improperly taken the dog he was sorry for it, and was willing to go clown upon l i i knee: and beg pardon if allowed to go away. Witness took him to the prosecutor, by whom he was given into custody. The dog was produced by the officer, Madgett, 83 S, and identified by the prosecutor as being his property. On Saturday evening be allowed it to run out of doors, as ke frequently did for a short time. Sergeant Potter, 16 D, said that the prisoner was a well known associate of a gang of dog-stealers, many of whom had been convicted at the different police -courts. The prisoner's defence was that be saw the dog running, and, thinking it had strayed, be laid hold of the string.which it was dragging along the road. As soon as th e gentleman called to the animal he let it go. Mr. Long, considering that it was a clear case of stealing, and one which called for severe punishment, committed the prisoner to hard labour in the House of Correction for six months.

Wood, an eating-house keeper, in Blandford-street, Manchester-square, was charged with aQsaulting and wounding a boy named James Moore, aged 14, with a hatchet. Mr. Keene attended for defendant.

Defen dant then ran out and struck him on the head with a chopper. He bled a great deal. Two witnesses, named Mortimer and Scott, said that the blow was given with the flat part of the chopper, and the edge of it touched the back of the head, and a third witness swore that it was a distinct chop at complainant, and with the edge of the implement downwards. Mr. Keene said that the wound, which was but a slight one, was accidental ; the boy was struck on the back, and the edge of the chopper unfortunately hurt his neck. lie called George Bryant,who said he saw one or two carrots knocked down, and the defendant then gave complainant " a slight tap" with the chopper. The father of complainant refused to listen to Mr. Keene's proposition for compensation being made for what injury had been unintentionally caused. Defendant was fined D.

The prosecutrix stated that, on Saturday night last, site went to bed about 12 o'clock, having previously fastened the. la'ack door and windows. On Sunday morning, shortly before six o'clock, she went down stairs and was much surprised to find the whole of the place strewn with articles of wearing apparel, her boxes broken -open, and the two prisoners engaged packing up the goods. She ran upstairs and gave an alarm, when the policeman on duty, Siret ton, 200 N, see ing the prisoners come out of the house, followed them, and , found a great deal of property wrapped arouad their bodies. The prisoners having been locked up, Sergeant Stallan, 34 N,.went back to the house, and found that an entry had been made by forcing the bolt off the back door. Both prisoners.were known to the police as bad characters. The - prisoners said they did not wish to say anything in answer to the charge, an/ 'they were fully commiltul to Newgate for trial.

He got into the middle of the road and held up his hands, to stop him. When the defend ant came hack from town be asked him to forgive him, but he said he could not even if it was his ow❑ brother.

After he went into the road and cautioned the defendamt, he went and had a glass of old ale with a person named Dawson. Mr. Beard said it was imp risible for there to have been any furious driving, for the omnibus the defendant was driving was drawn by thme horses, and was a ponderous machine. He called se ye . ral respectable witnesses, who swore positively that the dt tte.ndant was not driving furiously at the time stated. Mr. Tyrwhitt dismissed The summons. . _ _ A CANNIBAL.—Bridg et Shea, a prostitute, who has been several times in gusto dy for violent assaults, was com mitted for trial fur assault We^ police-constable Towes, 185 S, scratching his face, bitin,g the whole of the flesh off one of his knuckles, and also bts ine him in the thigh.

This conduct was kept up fur a considerable the donkey being hardly able to keep on its legs during the infliction of the blows. They (the officers) remonstrated with the prisoner, * and finding that to have no effect they took him into custody. Ou examining the donkey they found its sides and back covered with wheals. Mr. Tyrwhitt said that a big fellow like the prisoner ought to have known better, and ought to be ashamed of himself fft such conduct. He would now have to pay a fine of 205., or go to prison for 10 days, with hard labour; and if he were ever brought up aga'n on such a charge he s!ic uld eommit him to prieon, without the option of paying a fine. SOUTHWARK:ABSCONDING FROM THE PIIILAN. TIIROPIC REFORMATORY AT RED-HILL. - Henry Griffin, a sharp looking lad, 15 years of age, a convicted thief, was brought before Mr. Combe, charged with un lawfully absconding from the Philanthropic Reformatory School at Red-hill, near Reigate, while under confinement , there, by direction of Sir George Grey, her Majesty's late Secretary of State. This was a case of some importance, it being the second time that the prisoner had absconded from the same institution. Mr. Rogers, the Secretary to the Philanthropic Society, attended to prosecute, and Mr. Solomon appeared for the prisoner. Mr. Rogers, on being sworn, stated that in June, 1855, the prisoner was tried at the Westminster sessi ons for felony, and sentenced to two months in the House of Correction, and afterwards to suffer two years' further imp r i sonment, or enter the Philanthropic Institution conditionally that lie remained there subject to the rules, and until he was duly discharged therefrom. Mr. Combe wished to know what were the regulations of the institution. Mr. Rogers replied that the lads received by warrant from the Secretary of State, which bore her Majesty's pardon on condition of their remaining in the institution, were bound by the Ist and 2d Vic„ c. 82, sec.ll, to remain there until they were discharged by the institution. If honest employment was found for them they were either bound apprentices or placed with good masters. They could not leave without. Mr. Combe asked who discharged them. Mr. Rogers replied that the committee did that. The prisoner was never discharged, and, in fact, this was the second time he absconded from the institution at Red-hill. On the sth of July last the prisoner's mother came to see him at the latter place, and on her making an application the lad was allowed to quit the institution with her for three hours. He, however, did not return, and a few days afterwards a letter was received from the mother stating that his uncle had persuaded him not to return. He did not do so, and nothing further was heard of him until he was taken into custody on Sunday night by a constable of the H division. Mr. Solomon thought he ought to have proof of the rules and regulations of the Philanthropic Institution to show that they had power to detain the boy. Mr. Combe said that was not required. He was charged with absconding from the institution after being sent there by a warrant from the Secretary of State with her Majesty's conditional pardon, and not for disobeying the rules. Her Majesty's pardon, on condition that he remained in the Philanthropic School two years from the 31st of July, 185.5, or until he was duly discharged from there, he held in his hands, bearing her Majesty's signature. He considered that quite sufficient for him to deal with. Mr. Solomon urged his worship to consider the hardship that it would be if it should go forth to the public that the boys fn the Philanthropic. Institution were doomed to per petual imprisonment there, unless the committee liked to discharge them. Mr. Combe told him that was the law. This institution, he understood, was one of the first and one of the best in the kingdom, and the law must be put In force against any of the class who came under its benevolent protection who transgressed. The case was as clear as possible against the prisoner, and he must be sentenced to three months' hard labour in the House of Correction at Wandsworth ; at the expiration thereof the Philanthropic Society would claim him, and be had better quietly conform to the laws. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE AND SEDUCTION.—Mary Ann Thomson, a young woman, whose parents are said to be respectable, was brought before Mr. Combe, charged with attempting to commit suicide at Blackfriars-bridge. Police-constable 197 L said that about 10 o'clock on Saturday night he was on duty in the 13Iackfriars-road, when a lad came running up to him and told him that a female bad attempted to jump off Blackfriars•bridge. He immediately proceeded there and saw the prisoner struggling with a man in one of the recesses, who told him that she was climbing over the parapet to jump into the river when he eei.o,l hold of her clothes, and with great difficulty suc ceeded in pulling her back. bile was Withuut her bonnet, and she told witness that it had been her intention to com mit suicide, and he then toot her into custody. She cried - very much, and told him tlnst her father had turned her adrift because she had the misfortune to have an illegitimate child, and that was the reason she had meditated suicide. The prisoner, who stated her age to be 30, said it was quite true what she had told the constable, but now she was very sorry, and would never repeat the attempt. Mr. Combe asked whether anything was known of her friends ? The constable replied that her father kept an ironmonger's shop at Islington, and was in comfortable cir cumstances, hut he tinned her adrift and would not support her. _ The prisoner said that she did net want him to support her. All she requested of her father was a little clothing to enable her to go into service. Mr. Combs asked her where she had lately lived ? She replied, with a respectable hard-working female in the Barnsbury-road, and she left there on Saturday morn ing to look after a situation in Nelson-square, but she was disappointed. Mr. Combe severely lectured her as to her conduct, and discharged her on her promising to return to her friend in the Barnsbury-road. LAMBETH—SAVAGE ASSAULT—BITING OFF A MAN'S NOSE.—David Sullivan, an Irish labourer, was charged before Mr. Elliott with the commission of a very savage assault on the person of Laurance Camidge, a countryman of his, and biting off a large portion of his nose. From the evidence adduced in the case it appeared that the prisoner and the injured man had been good friends up to Saturday night last, when a drunken quarrel took place, and the encounter that followed was described to be more like that of savage beasts than human beings. The com plainant in the case was in so dangerous a state from the effects of the injuries he received as not to be able to attend, but the following medical certificate was put in and read by the magistrate : This is to certify that I have examined Laurance Ca midge, and find that a portion of his nose is destroyed, together with contusions of the head and body, the result of ill treatment. • He is confined to bed and incapable of being removed for the present. " August 16, 18.58. T. W. HOOPER, Surgeon." The prisoner, in defence, said CatniCge coil.mcnecd the fight, and was remanded for a week. CHARGE OF RAPE.—SCANDALOUS PROFLIGACY.- 211 r. George Sarnton, of 18, Red Cross street, Borough, builder, was placed at thei bar on a charge of violating the person of Emma Lydia Willett, egret 18, shopwoman to Messrs. Clerk and Vines, confectioners, Queen's-row, New ington-butts. _ _ The proceedings in the cue were lengthy, bnt the follow ing are the main facts :—The prisoner, with two of his work men, were engaged in making some repairs at the house of the employers of the prosecutrix, and, according to their own representation, all had kissed and taken indecent liber ties with her. On Saturday afternoon she (the prosecutrix) went up stairs to look for a gas-lamp ; and the prisoner having told her it was in an upper room she went there. She was followed by the prisoner, and he then committed the capital offence on her. The prosecutrix swore she called out as loud as she could and made every resistance, but the prisoner by much force effected his purpose. Mr. Elliott highly reprobated the disgraceful conduct of the prisoner and his two men, and remanded the former until Wednesday, when, he said, he should send him before a jury. THAMES.—A VIOLENT ASSAULT.—EIIen Crawley, an Irish woman, aged 50, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with assaulting and wounding John Foy, a coal whipper, d enveloped con dition. w in ho ho a sp p i p t e a a l r b e a d nd in age c s o , ur a t nd w i i n th a v h e is r It appeared that both parties lived in the same house, in an Irishcolony called China-court, St. George-in-the- East, and that a quarrel had taken place between the pri soner, Mrs. Foy, and another, and the complainant, an in dustrious and peaceable old man, went among them to make peace, when the prisoner took up a heavy i ron h ammer and made a blow at Foy, who caught it in his hand. He then closed with the woman who, however, managed to knock him down, and then struck him several blows on the bead with the hammer and two on the side. The complain.. ant was rendered senseless by the blows, his head was cu t open, and he lost a large quantity of blood. He was re moved to the London Hospital, and his wounds were dressed. He is likely to be an out-patient of the institution for some time. The prisoner made a long and impassioned harangue to the magistrate and said she had for many years worked bard and supported her fatherless children, and that her character for industry and so b r i ety was known, to Inspector Allison of the K division. and every person in court. Mr. Selfe--I have nothing to do with your ten children. You have spoken about everything but the assault. The prisoner denied having laid hand or foot upon her countryman. Mr. Selfe--That is an equivocation. You laid the hemmer uti6n his head and body in a most savpge manner. It was God's mercy the poor man was not killed. I s',:ould be doing wrong if I did'not inflict a very severe punishment upon you. I floe you £5, and in default of payment, two months' imprisonment. You are liable to three years' im prisonment for this atrocious assault. The prisoner was committed.

WARNING TO TIPPLING LOVERS.—One night in the beginning of the present week, as a gentleman was wending his way home from this place at a rather late hour, and when within little more than a stone-cast of his own house, he was not a little startled to hear groans pro ceeding from a ditch on the opposite side of the road to that on which he was walking. For some time he stocd conjecturing whether they proceeded from a human being or not; but no sooner were they repeated than, screwing up his courage, he approached the ditch, and was shocked to find a respectably dressed young man lying, his heels fully four feet higher than his body, intoxicated. With difficulty he succeeded in raising the young unfortunate to his feet, but then came the puzzle, what was he to do with him? He was unable to walk to Alloa, wihther he was bound, and the "go o d S amar i tan " could not think of allowing him to lie upon the roadside, he therefore resolved to take him to his own house, and give biia such a bed as he could spare. On reaching the house, all the inmates being sound asleep, he put him in a straw shed, and shutting the door behind him retired for the night. At an early hour next morning the kind hearted landlord (hearing rather an unusual noise im mediately in front of his bedroom) rose, and to his amaze ment saw his domestic servant chasing with a large stick the very person he, on the previous night, had taken from the roadside. On coming down stairs, be met Jenny, who, in reply to his interrogatories, stated that he was her sweetheart, that he had courted her for about 18 months, and that, though he had often promised to marry her, be en the last two or three occasions had come intoxicated to see her, consequently she had taken a distaste to him. Jenny's master commended her highly for her conduct. Yet, notwithstanding nil that has occurred, we understand that there is every likelihood that the two will be shortly united in the bonds of wedlock—he, the " lovyer," having joined the teetotal society.—Stirling Journal.
