LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY (BIRMING HAM EXTENSION). This Bill was read a third time and passed. BATTERSEA PARK APPLICATION ON MONEY BILL. On the question being put that the report on this Bill be brought up, Mr. BROTHERTON said he was not opposed to Bills of this description, but he thought it rather unjust that they should be confined to the metropolis. Mr. SPOONER entirely coincided in the observation of the Hon. Member for Salford, and thought there were many large manufacturing towns which stood quite as much in need of these parks as the metropolis.—(Hear.) The report was then brought up and agreed to. BAT'TERSEA PARK BILL. This Bill went through Committee, and the whole of the clauses having been agreed to, the House resumed, and the Chairman reported accordingly.—Report on M on d a y.

The remaining orders were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Half-past Two o'ulook. RAILWA Y COMMITTEES CALEDONIAN (GLASGOW TERMINI AND BRANCHES). Their Lordships met at the usual hear in the above room, Lord Bathurst taking the chair as usual. The cases for the petitioners were proceeded with. Several witnesses were called and gave evidence in corro boration of that heard yesterday. Mr. John Miller, engineer of the Great North British Railway, in his evidence said that the ground at Shiels• bridge was already pre-occupied by the General Terminus Company, whose Bill had been granted, so that the arrange ment come to by the Caledonian Company before the Com mons' Committee, to carry back their junction with the Ayr Railway to near that bridge, could not be constructed without diverting the Paisley canal beyond the limit of the deviations which this Bill gives them power to do. That, assuming the Caledonian got this proposed terminus in the City, their mode of carrying along the through traffic would necessitate a break of the train ; that part of it might be carried along Bridge -street by another engine, or they must give up the Bridge -street branch altogether. Mr. M. considered that the whole scheme was such as the engineer would not now, under the altered circumstances, propose to lay down. Cross-examined by Mr. HOPE—'There were altogether 105 feet within the limit of deviation and the canal, and four sets of rails could be laid down in 53 feet; but not so if these sets of rails belonged to different lines, and much less if they were on different levels, as was the case here, for the canal, the Caledonian, the General Terminus, and the joint line, would give four different levels. Mr. ANDREWS, Q.C., produced three letters of the 6th, Bth, and 28th of May last, to Lord Worsley, Chairman of the Commons Committee from the Admiralty, the last of which was accompanied with a report from Captains Bethune and Denison, unfavourable to any , crossing of the river Clyde, as proposed by the Caledonian Company, south of the Stockwell bridge. The Admiralty agreed in this report, but their letter of the 28th of May reached the Chairman of the Com mons Committee a day after the preamble of the Bill for the Caledonian liine was passed. Lord Belhaven having been called, said he was well ac quainted with Glasgow and the lines south and north of the Clyde. He considered it very important that a junction be tween these should be effected, which would necessitate a crossing of the river, but he thought one crossing, and one only, should be allowed. Mr. AUSTIN, Q,C., proposed to call Mr. Walker, with a view to lay before the Committee a full statement of all the circumstances under which the report from the Commis sioners of the Admiralty had been drawn up, which, be ex pected to show, was not a final decision. Mr. ANnums objected to Mr. Walker being allowed to give evidence, as the case for the promoters was closed. The room was ordered to be- cleared. Parties, on being re-admitted, were told that the Committee would call Mr. Walker. Mr. Walker, examined by the CHAIRMAN, said he had been sent down by the Admiralty to examine this very cross ing, and he made his report on the 12th of March. He understood that another company was to cross at the same place. He believed that Captains Bethune and Denison were sent down about the formation of the docks near Glasgow. He said he had stated in his report to the Admiralty that if a great public good were to be gained, the obstruction would be very small to the river. The Committee refused to hear Mr. Walker's report, the one on their Lordships' table being later. He said he was con suiting engineer to the Clyde trustees. Mr. ANDREWS then addressed the Committee against the Buil, on the part of the Glasgow and Ayr Rsil way, the city of Glasgow, and the town of Gorbals, and individual proprietors, contending that the approach to Glasgow, and through it, should be confined to one great general scheme, which would effect a junction with the lines north and south of the Clyde without exposing the city and private property , to be cut up by rival and independent . companies. Bin Andrews, in commenting on the evi dence, cautioned their Lordships as to th e t es ti mony given by r. Walker, who admitted that he was consulting en gineer to the Clyde trustees, the Chairman of which was called to give evidence in favour of the Caledonian line. Mr. MONTAGUE SMITH addressed the Committee on be half of the heritors of Gorbals against the Bill, and called witnesses to show that damage would be sustained by the Gorbals parish church, situated within 30 feet of the -Cale i.onian proposed line, at the corner of Canton-terrace and Buchan-street. The Committee then adjourned till eleven to-morrow. ROOM C. The Chairman (the Earl of Radnor) and the other mem bers of the Committee assembled in this room to-day. MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND MID LANDS JUN CTION. The evidence in support of this Bill was resumed. Mr. Henry Rangeley was examined, and stated that he was an extensive coaLowner, and observed that coal could be sent to Sheffield at a very low rate. Mr. JA3IES, who appeared for the landowners' opposition, here took an objection to the Bill in Coto, on the ground that when considered in the Committee of the House of Comm6ns, it had a Bakee,Tll branch, and that it was on the express un derstanding of the convenience to be afforded by that branch that the Commons' Committee had passed the project. At this point the room was cleared, after a reply from Mr. Talbot, and on the re-admission of parties, The CHAIRMAN declared that the objection ceuld not be entertained. Mr. Butcher, blaster of the Cutlers' Company at Sheffield, and his brother, the present Mayor, testified to the general advantages of the railway. Mr. all, a dealer in cattle at Chesterfield, stated that his purchases and sales of sheep amounted to between 300 and 400 sheep a week, bat his dealings in beasts were small. The cost of conveyance to Manchester was 15s. a ton, the distance being 42 miles. Mr. Burkitt, a brown pottery manufacturer and a maltser at Chesterfield, stated that the quantity of goods sent to Manchester from his neighbourhood was 2,420 tons of earthenware, besides malt. His own produce was about 720 tons. If this railway were made, the cost would not be more than ss. Mr. Hervey, a magistrate of Holmtirth, near Leeds, stated that the populationi of the township was about 16,412, and of the district 26,344; The witness stated the quantity of wool brought to the township, and that as many as 80,000 pieces of cloth were manufactured within the precincts. The district around Holnifirth is chiefly peat, and would be much benefited by the introduction of lime. To Mr. C/ILVEZT'S cross-examination, the witness replied that the limestone chiefly used was the Crick and the Bake ' well lime, which would come by the proposed line. The manufactured pieces were in the first place sent in the rough state to Huddersfield, where they were dressed and made ready for " daylight." At present they obtained their soap and oil from Liverpool and London, and one of the great objects of the people of Holinfirth was to get as short a com munication with London as possible. To Mr. HOPE the witness replied that the inhabitants in his district were anxious to obtain the mountain limestone, in preference to all other kinds. Mr. TALBOT on re-examination, ascertained that the chief object was to get the nearest route to London, and that the line front Chesterfield to Sheffield was much desired by them. Mr. Tomlinson, wood steward to the Duke of Rutland on his Derbyshire estates, stated that he had heard of the aban donment of the Bakewell branch some time since. The pro perty lies chiefly in and near Bakers ell, within the neigh bourhood of the line. The quantity of timber annually sent to Sheffield was a b out 12,00 feet, exclusive of underwood, for which this railway would afford great facilities. On cross-examination, the witness stated that the quantity he bad named was wood from the Barlow property, and did not at all include the Bakewell estate. ghti t o tt f u S a u n t d ton, and also Mr. Mills, agent of Mr. Arkwri emery well. Devonshire, occa sionally engaged by the Dukes of stated that he knew Brierly Wood 3' is the pro perty of the last-named nobleman, and that there annual fall of copse wood and timber to the extent Owfa; au fifteen to twenty acres. The formation of the Sheffield from Chesterfield line would materially improve the value of his Grace's property, and would give great facilities to the trade of Sheffield. The road at present is hilly and heavy, and he believed that although there was a probability of advantage by the Sheffield and Lincoln shire line, and there were already advantages existing by the Rotherham and Sheffield Railway, yet that, in his mind, in no way obviated the necessity for the formation of this To Mr. CALVERT'S Close-examination the witness replied that he did not conceive a tramway to be of any use what ever, and he thought that the formation of needless railways, or, at least, of those not imperatively required, would be a waste of public property. To Mr. L'Acs:r, We witness' replied that the Bierly woods are directly south of Hunstone, and was aware that there was a group of railways already in existence, but they would not serve the purpose of transporting this timber. To Mr. Tar-mYr's re-examination—The witness replied that be considered the formation of this line of the utmost import ance in every point of view. The Committee hetivAicturned till taliwzrow. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY MORNING, JULY 11, 1846. Room D, LA W INTELLIGEN CE. PORTBUItY PIER AND RAILWAY (No. 2). The Committee mct this morning at eleven, in Room D (New Houses of Parliament), and proceeded with the cases on the part of the opponents against the Bill. Several counsel having spoken on behalf of the petitioners, The Committee ordered the room to be cleared. On our re-admission, they announced their decision that the preamble was proved. After reading over the clauses, Their Lordships rose shortly after one o'clock. This concluded the group. fact, stripped the horse entirely for 41. 18s. rent, which he had not demanded. No appraisement was made, hut the goods were sold immediately, and defendant kept the whole of the money. Plaintiff's goods were valued at 10/. The SEcommar said that the defendant had admitted al that had been alleged against him, and besides the value of the goods, plaintiff' was entitled to such damages as the jury might think proper. The jury asked if they gave the whole value of the goods, whether the defendant could sue for the rent? The SECONDARY said probably he could. The jury gave a verdict for AL 25.. the value of the goods beyonc the rent due, and it. 10s. for damage. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. VICE- CHANCERY COURT, July 9. (Before Sir A L. SHAD WELL .) IN RE LONDON, sAND YEOVIL JUNCTION RAILWAY. Mr. STEVENS applied for payment out of Court of 33,7501. on the withdrawal of this Bill. IN RE GREAT GaLlisaY AND SIIEFIIIELD JUNCTION ZAILWAY. Mr. ELLLsost applied in like manner as to four branches of this project (the Bill having passed), as follows;--45,0001., 20,0001., 23,0001, and 3,000/. IN RE GREAT NORTHERN RAHIWAL Mr. Dimsrisox;applied in like manner, and on a similar oc casion, as to 250,0001. HARVEY V. COLLETT. The arguments in this case were resumed. Mr. WALLED. and Mr. llRAYrianaLn appeared in support of the demurrer, and argued that by the authority of all the cases on the point, this being on the face of it a bubble com pany, and the plaintiff coming in the character of a share holder, could have no equity as against the company. The Bill was also clearly defective for want of parties, for the pl a i n tiff, although a shareholder, was not an original sub scriber, and could not represent that body, of which lie was not a member; and that, therefore, some of the original sub scribers were necessary parties. Mr. BETHELL t Mr. J. PARKER, and Mr. WELFORD ap peared in support of the bill. First, there was a prelimi nary objection to the demurrer, which was to the bill of " Daniel Whittle Harvey, complainant," whereas the bill was by "D. W. Harvey, on behalf uS himself," &c. This was a Spanish railway, and therefore under Spanish laws, which made the transfer of scrip legal, and hence the argu ment. as to the illegality could not hold; he also stood in the place of a subscriber. It was on the failure of the under taking that he first discovered what had been done, and the reason why he could not get an allotment was that the directors were retaining to themselves shares for the purpose of selling them to profit. Mr. WALKER was heard in reply. The VICE-CHANCELLIka said, that it seemed to him the case came to this very short point—viz., whether the thing projected by . the directors was not, on the 4th of March, 1845, in their knowledge wholly impracticable. This was very material, because the plaintiff in his bill stated, that having been influenced by the prospectuses which had been put forth, he purchased 100 shares, so thet such right as he raight thus have to interfere came after the 4th of March, 1a145. The bill charged that on the 14t .h of March, 1845, all the directors knew the fact that the difficulties to be over come were such as to render the formation of the railway to tally impracticable, and " that the same then was totally im practicable," and it was singular that there was a similar charge in a preceding part of the bill. It was most positively alleged that it was not only a bubble, but known by the directors to be so before the plaintiff became a purchaser. There was a statement that by an article of the Spanish code the shares might be transferred, and by annth... +1..: in nn nnonig luvun ... , flopanv a molten responsibility only was in curred by the shareholders; there was, however, no allega tion whatever averring what was the law of Spain. It then appeared that there were certain grants and concessions by the Spanish Government, and the Queen herself condes scended to become a patron, in company with a long list of Dukes, Marquises, and Counts. There was no allegation that the projection of a scheme known to be' impracticable could be carried out any more by the law of Spain than that of England. It must be taken that at the time of the pro spectus being issued the directors knew that the railway was totally impracticable. If the plaintiff so stated it, he stated that the defendants were projecting a fraud— a mere bubble. He (the Vice-Chancellor) was not at liberty to give such relief as the plaintiff asked by his Bill. Nor was he at liberty now to say that all the relief he did ask was to go for nothing, and that he could merely recover tile amount of the value of his shares from the defend ants. The demurrer must hold on this general ground; it was not necessary to enter into the various other questions which had been made. If it had not appeared to be a fraud by the directors at the time of issuing the prospectus, the principle of " Hitchin v. Congreve " would apply. But for the purpose of overwhelming the directors with the charge of fraud the plaintiff bad gone too far. It seemed extraordi nary that such a man as the plaintiff, and so well informed generally in public affairs, should have purchased shares in such a company as the present, and it must be taken that lie was influenced by the prospectus. On this Bill, as it was constructed, no relief could be given, and therefore the de murrer must be allowed. (Before Sir J. K. BRUCE.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. GROUP XVII. MANCHESTER AND SOUTH.A.MpTON. The Committee were occupied the whole of the day with clauses of interest only to the parties. A number of clauses were proposed on the part of the South Western by Mr. Hope and :dr. Bircham, the solicitor for the South Western, but as many of them proposed to give arbitrary powers to that Company over the Manchester and Southampton, they were materially modified by the Committee. ROME CIRCUIT; Hertford, July 10. (Before Mr. Justice COLTMAN). George Pallett, aged 48, was capitally indicted for feloniously cutting and wounding Mary Ann Pallett, his wife, with intent to murder her. In other counts, the intent of the prisoner waF. laid to be to maim and disable, or to do grevious bodily harm. Mt. Rodwell prosecuted; Mr. Marsh defended the pri soner. The proseeutrix, who appeared to be very weak from the effects of the injury she had received, deposed that the prisoner was her husband, and they resided at Great Munden, where they kept a baker's and general shop. On Thursday morning, the 25th of June, they were sitting at breakfast together, when the prisoner asked her whether she intended to bake on the next day or Saturday, and she replied that it would depend upon when she could get some good yeast. The prisoner then told her she had better bake the next day, for she would not be alive on Saturday. She replied that she supposed her time was God's, unless he intended to murder her. He then said, that there were two persons he should like to be the death of, her, and her brother. The prisoner then went out and did not retnrn till between ten and eleven o'clock, and she then saw him go into a shed and get a bill-hook, and be commenced sharpening it. Nothing took place between them after this until one o'clock, when she was engaged in the shop serving a customer, and the prisoner came in with the bill-hook in his hand. He then, without saying a word, threw some flour in her face, and upon the customer saying that he might have thrown the flour in her eyes, the prisoner, with an oath, said that she ought to have her eyes pat out for wasting his flour. A few minutes after this, she was in the act of scraping up the flour at the bottom of a bin, and while she was in a stooping position. with hpe head Partly on ft.. 6in, one received a blow from the bill-hook on her neck, which rendered her instantly insensible, and she fell to the ground, and knew nothing of what happened afterwards. In cross-examination, the prosecutor said that they had been married 22 years, and some years ago the prisoner was attacked with erysipelas, and went out of his mind, and continued in that state for several weeks, during which time he was under restraint. She also said, that a few months ago he had a similar attack, but as it was not so bad as the former one, he was allowed to remain in his own house. He was in the habit of drinking to excess, and while in that state, was very violent, and she had at times beard him talk very inco herently. Upon another occasion, the prisoner had attacked her with a carvi ng k n if e , and she was forced to run out of the house to save her life. Hc, was quite sober when he told her she would not live till Saturday, and he said it quite quietly. They had not had any quarrel on the day in question, and although she saw the bill-hook in his hand, she had not the slightest idea that he intended to strike her with it until she felt the blow. Some other witnesses were examined, and from their evidence it appeared, that after the occurrence the pri soner had walked deliberately out into the village, with the bloody weapon in his hand, and stated to se veral persons what he bad done. - Mr. Mansu on beha.f of the prisoner, addressed the jury at considerable length, contending that the circum stance of itself, and the other evidence as to the former state of the accused, left no doubt that he was an irre sponsible agent, and that he ought to be acquitted on that ground. Mr. Justice COLTMAN having summed up, the jury, atter deliberating for more than an hour, returned a verdict of Not Guilty, on the ground of insanity. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. Mr. Sergeant Wrangham, Mr. Edwin James, and Mr. Cripps, appeared on behalf of the Manchester and South ampton Company. The remainder of the clauses, with various alterations, baying been completed, Mr. Sergeant WRANGHAM applied to the Committee to in sert a recommendation in their report to the House, to the effect that as the progress of the Bill had been greatly de layed, from its introduction into Parliament early in the ses sion to its coming before the Committee, it was desirable that it should receive the sanction of the Legislature this session, and that it ,hould he remitted to the House of Lords with out unnecessary delay. The CHAIRMAN said, the Committee in their report would simply state the facts, which would no doubt meet the views of the promoters. The Committee then separated. Their decision will be reported to the House on Tuesday. STANDING ORDERS' COMMITTEE. HOUSE OF LORDS. Their Lordships met at the usual hour, Lord.

RAILWAYS. The Committee of Selection have appointed the Select Committees on the Groups Nos. 67, 69, and 70, to meet in the week commencing Monday, July 20. The following is the list from which Members will be selected to serve on Select Committees on Railway Groups, in the week commencing Monday, July 27: Rt. Hon. W. B. Baring Mr. Long Admiral Bowles Viscount Mahon Lord Eriie,t Bruce Mr. Neville Mr. Cardwell Colonel Peel Capt. the Hon. S. Carnegie Mr. Power Rt. Hon. Sir G. Clerk Hon. G. S. Smythe Mr. Crippa Hon. H. M. Sutton Hon. H. Fitzroy Mr. Tower Viscount Jocelyn Mr. Young. Earl of Lincoln IN THE MATTER OF SIR GEORGE STEPHEN ♦X) OTHERS, EX PARIIE BASS. This petition has occupied the Court the greater part of three days. It is presented by Mr. Michael Thomas Bass. of Burton-upon-Trent, brewer, a shareholder in and member of the acting committee of Remington's Company, and it stated that in April, 1845, the London and Manchester Direct Independent Railway Company was projected, and was and is known as Remington's Company, which was duly and pro visionally registered, and a committee of management was appointed, and that Sir George Stephen and his partner, Mr. B. W. Hutchinson, and Messrs. Rogers, Cobbett, Wilson, and Owens were appointed joint solicitors. That in M ay , 1845, the Direct London and Manchester Railway was pro jected, and was and is known as Rastrick's Company, and the committee of Remington's company wished in October following to amalgamate the two, but were opposed by the solicitors, except Air. Owens, who was employed in such amalgamation, which was effected on the 25th of that month. The terms of this were, that a joint committee of th e two companies, of whi c h the petitioner was a member, should apply to Parliament for an Act to construct Reming ton's line, and that Rastrick's line should be abandoned, and notice was given to the solicitors not to insert Parlia mentary notices relating to any application regarding Re mington's Company alone. On the Bth of November the act ing committee of Remington's Company paid 5001. to Messrs. Stephen and Hutchinson, 500/. to Mr. Owens, 500/. to Mr. Rogers, and 5001. to Messrs. Wilson and Cobbett, on ac count of costs, but no bills of costs had been delivered. On the 13th of November the solicitors (exept Mr. Owens) in serted the notices they had been directed not to insert, and were accordingly dismissed from their office of solicitors from that day. At this time the plans, sections, and books of re ference of Remington's line were in the hands of Stephen and Hutchineon and Rogers and Cobbett, and which it was necessary should be deposited at the office of the Board of Trade on or before the 30th, and after some negotiation the acting committee of Remington's line agreed to pay them 28,000/., exclusive of any cos , s due to Mr. Wilson and Mr. Owens, and accordingly a cheque for 18,0001. w as d rawn i n fivour of Stephen and Hutchinson, 5,0001. in favour of Mr. Rogers. and 5,0001. in favour ot Mr. Cobbett, which, after some delay, caused by steps taken by Mr. Meteyard. one of the directors who signed there, were ultimately paid, and the plates, sections, and books of reference given up end duly de posited. Receipts in full of all demands were given for these sums, and added to them was a memorandum in these words: --" It being clearly understood that all claims and questions are this day finally settled and for ever concluded between us and the London and Manchester Direct and Independent Railway Company, and we have severally given receipts in full of all demands; upon this understanding we promise to deliver a bill of costs with all practicable Weed, the delivery of them hereafter being one of the conditions of the settle ment, and that settlement proceeding on the basis that all differences, whether pecuniary or otherwise, are finally and amicably adjusted by payment of the sums which we have respectively received. Dated this 22d day of November, 1845." The petition prayed the de livery of, and it was insisted by the counsel for the peti tioner that the solicitors were bound to deliver, a bill of all such fees and disbursements as they claimed to be due in all matters wherein they had been employee( as solicitors for Remington's Company, and that the same ought to be taxed, the petitioner being willing and offering to pay what, .upon taxation, should be reported due, and that the solici tors ought to account, not only for the original 2,0001., coin . posed ot the four sums of 500/. each, but for the 28,0004 The principal respondents insisted that the costs were not such costs as were taxable under the Act 7 Victoria, relating to taxation of costs, for that the services rendered were not of a mere professional character, and that, if taxable at all, the Court had no jurisdiction to enter into the question by petition, but that the remedy, if any, of the petitioner was by bill in equity. Mr. W. T. 8. Daniel, Mr. Rolt, and Mr. Speed supported the petition, which was opposed by Mr. Russell, Mr. J. Parker, Sir. Rogers, and Mr. Goodeve, for the principal re spondents; and by Mr. Wigram, Mr. Bacon, Mr. Willcock, Mr. Blunt, Mr. Chichester, Mr. Cairns, and Mr. Mee Mathew, for other parties. Mr. Rohe who, at the opening of the petition, was a junior counsel fur the petitioner, having during the hearing been created Queen's Counsel, waved his right to reply, and that duty was performed by Mr. Daniel. His HoNoen—Several points have been made and argued in support of this petition, on which I do not find it necessary, at present to pronounce any opini on . Th ese points, and in deed every point of the case, have been. exceedingly well argued by Mr. Daniel. It appears to me that there are very special and particular circumstances in the case, and upon the facts which are to be collected from the materials be fore me, I think it at least reasonably arguable that the solicitors had a fair ground for claiming, as they appear to have claimed, on the occasion of the discussions which preceded the severance of the connexion between them and the provisional committee, to be entitled, in honour, if not in law, and by a moral, if not a technical, equity, to a compensation or pecuniary advantage, independent of their professional demands or professional remuneration, and that the compensation or pecuniary advantage thus claimed was agreed to be included in, and was included in, the sum of 211,000/., not fraudulently. How this matter iu truth stands, I give no opinion beyond saying that I am not sathfied that the claim was made dishonestly, colourablv, or fictitiously. It may have been welt or ill-founded. It may be that it ought to be in some mode investigated ; it may stand or it may not abide the test of investigation. There may have been some degree of pressure; but still, as the money was paid in full of all demands, without a bill, and without any knowledge of the mere amount of costs claimed or due, it was not, I think, proved to have been obtained by fraud, and was, as to an undistinguished, unknown, and uncertain portion of it, paid upon a consideration, which I think that I am not, under this petition, authorised to pronounce dishonest or trivolots, or myself enabled to ques tion. It would, therefore, in nay judgment, supposing that I were to order the delivery of a bill of costs. and to direct its taxation, a n d th a t suc h an ope ration should produce an amount short of 28,000/., be impossible for the C ourt in this particular case to pron ounce j u di c ially without a su i t whe ther the difference ought to be returned. I ought not, liberty to instituteconceive,to a su d i : amnodre:itli liberty generally n this petition t h an to direct it t o stand over without prejudice to any s u i t, with to apple'. Whether a suit against* these solicitors prope r l y framed would succeed, I have an opinion which I will not state. It struck me at one time that the Court, under the present proceedings, might have laid hold of the written undertaking t o d e li ver a bill of costs, worded as that undertaking is; but to order upon the ground of it thataut objecthde so solicitors , ofi than t r h e s s eu e yc n ivrep ti o t s i e. costs s sh as now re q d for . these any othertor thes, if h present piap e the delideliveryof the bill for the purposes of taxation again s t been t ner is taxation, and , i o r w e e these solicito rs would be wrong, if not o therwise ri g ht.

Lacy and Bridges; for the respondents Messrs. Stephen and Hutchinson; for other parties served with the petition, Ur. J.. Owens and Mr. J. Ravenscroft. WANDSWORTH. Mary North, aged eighteen, servant to Mr. Barker, the coach proprietor, was placed in the dock, before Mr. Paynter, for final examination, upon a charge of having administered a quantity of oil of vitriol to Mary Ann Barker, an infant aged only four months, with intent to murder. The case has excited an extraordinary interest in Wands worth, inasmuch as the accused bore a very good character, and there was an - apparavt absence of all motive for het' committal of the crime. A solicitor, who described himself as a friend of the accused's family, attended to watch the case on her behalf. Mrs. Barker, the wife of Mr. C. Barker, having been sworn, stated that the prisoner,was her servant of all-work, and that it was part of her duty to take care of the infant child, which was four months old on the sth inst. On Wednesday the Ist inst., between eleven and twelve o'clock, she sent the prisoner for some ingredients to make harness blacking, one of them being oil of vitriol. Immediately after dinner wit ness commenced mixing the ingredients in a large pan in the washhouse, and the last thing she put in was oil of vitriol. The bottle contained four ounces, and she used about halt. The prisoner handed her the bottle and remarked... What dangerous stuff it was, and that Leech (meaning the oilman) would not let her have it without telling him who it was for." Witness said of course not, it was a deadly poison, and he could not tell what she wanted it fire; he could not know whether she was going to take it herself, or administer it to any one else. The prisoner could read print and writing, and the bottle was labelled " Vitriol, poison." After witness had used the vitriol she gave the bottle to the prisoner, and told her to put it on the high shelf, where the children could not get to it. Witne , s after wards turned away and left the washhouse; therefore she oeild not say whether she did as she was told or not. Nothing particular occurred till the evening, when she Wit , sitting alone in the parlour a little before seven o'clock, when the prisoner came in with the child in her arms, and a tea cup. She said she thought that baby had the stoma c h- ac h e , and a little aniseed would ease it. Witness then unlocked the secretaire and took out a bottle of aniseed; she put about a teaspoonful into the cup, and a lump of sugar, and then put back the bottle and locked the secretaire. Witness then went into the kitchen with the cup, and poured some hot water in it. She afterwards gave the infant. some of the mixture, and left the cup containing the remainder on the table. Witness told the prisoner to walk up and down with the child, and returned to the parlour, leaving her eldest daughter (between 10 and 11 years of age) and the other children in the kitchen. There were no white marks about it after it had taken the aniseed; it had been vaccinated a week previously, and was very restless. Not more than five minutes could have elapsed when witness heard her daughter say, " Mary, don't hurt baby ;" and immediately afterwards the prisoner called her, and, as she was approaching, said. "Oh, dear me, ma'am, what is the matter with baby?" She could not say whether the prisoner was coming towards het whsu she said so. Witness took the child from her, and observed that its eyes were strangely agitated, its mouth and tongue foaming and swollen, and she exclaimed, " 0, my God! what is the matter with baby? this can never be the aniseed." Witness did not remember whether the prisoner said anything, for she was almost mad. She told her to run for the doctor, and:Mr. Howell came in in a few minutes. She showed him the infant, and asked him what was the matter with it; and Mr. Howell asked her if she had any vitriol in the house. In consequence of what Mr. Howell said, she afterwards went to look for the vitriol, and found it on a lower shelf in the washhouse, where she let it re main until the next morning, when Mr. Tatham, the pait ner. of Mr. Howell, asked for it. She then locked it up, and subsequently delivered it to Inspector Busain, as likewise the napkin produced. The aniseed was taken away by Mr. ' Howell, and Mr. Tatham brought it back the next morning. The child did not vomit until medicine had been given, and what it vomited witness preserved. The cotton gown produced she had on that day; it is marked in various places with brawn spots, and there are also stains from vomiting. The pri soner would have been two years in her service next Mi. chaelmas; she intended to part with her then, but she had not told her so. She did not consider the prisoner was fond of children. One day when witness went to town the pri soner locked the children in the garden, and left the house for a considerable time. Sh e h a d no t ound fault with her that day. Elizabeth Barker, aged ten years, stated that after her mother had given the baby the aniseed she drank up what remained in the cup. Prisoner went with the baby into the washhouse when her mother had left the kitchen, and in two or three minutes witness heard the baby making wheezing noise, and she called out, " Mary, don't hurt the baby." When the prisoner came into the kitchen she was wiping baby's tace with a napkin; her face was all over white, and witness said, " Look at baby, Mary," and pri soner then called her mother. Witness did not know what became of the cloth. Mr. James Howell, surgeon, stated, that on Wednesday evening, the Ist instant, he went to Mr. Barker's house. The prisoner fetched him. She told him the child was dan gerously ill in consequence of something that had been given it. He found the child in her mother's arms. The prisoner was present. Mrs. Barker showed him the child's mouth, which seemed covered with milk; the whole membrane lining the mouth and tongue appeared of a white pearly colour. Witness asked if anything had been given to the child ? and Mrs. Barker said she had given it a small quan tity of aniseed water, and showed him the bottle out or which it was taken. He gave the bottle to his partner, Mr. Tatham, to be analyzed. Witness asked if any vitriol had been given to the child? and Mrs. Barker and the prisoner both said nothing had been given it except the aniseed. Witness asked the prisoner if she had been using vitriol for the purpose of cleaning the furniture or other utensils? and she said, "No." He then asked if there was any vitriol in the house ? and one or other said, "No." There was a burn just below the child's under lip, and from that and the appearance of the mouth, and other indications, he was sa tisfied that oil of vitriol had been given. Witness then de sired the prisoner to go home with him, which she did; and he sent her back with a mixture of magnesia, soda, and water, of which he desired a dessert spoonful to be given every five or ten minutes, There was nothing deleterious in the aniseed water. The top cf the neck of the bottle might have been introduced into the child's mouth, and caused the appearances spoken of. Mr. Tatham, the last witness's partner, gave almost similar evidence; but added, that the mother gave him a basin containing a quantity of brown matter, which the child had vomited, and in which he at once detected vitriol. His opinion had since been confirmed by Mr. Taylor, the ehymist and lecturer on medical jurisprudence at Guy's Hospital, who had analyzed it, as also the cloth, and in both of which h e h a d d etected sulphur i c acid. The prisoner was much agitated, but he thought it was from anxiety respecting the child. The infant lie now considered out of danger. Mr. PAYNTER said, he had carefully perused the report o. Mr. Taylor's experiments, and it was extremely well drawn up• It could not be admitted as evidence for the Crown, nor could the prisoner's legal adviser see it Mr. Taylor would have to be subpoenaed to attend the trial. Inspector Busain stated, that iu consequence of informa tion he received he went on Thursday last to Mr. Barker's house, and received from Mrs. Barker the bottle of vitriol and napkin produced. He afterwards went down into the kitchen and saw the prisoner. Before he apprehended her, he asked her if she knew anything of the injury which the I baby had received in the mouth, and she said "No." He I cautioned her how she answered any questions be put to her, I as, from information he had received, he was convinced she must know something about it, and she had administered something to the child. On the way to the station-house she said she knew nothing at all about it, and she had given the baby nothing. The WIWI ProthiCod Wee itaiiie4 ag RAIL WAY Sli kRE MARKETS BRISTOL, Jrl,s 9.

SECONDARIES' COURT, 10. MARLOW V. MAS O N . and stated th e This was an ( n distress, and als o f or an illegal sale. The defendant did not plead or appear to spe a k i n miti. gation. B action M t o r . r e S c e o c s o .e n r d d a a r: a J; Mr. ADDISON a p peared for the Plitintiff' s for an exce ss i ve 1 J uly .)ly case. The plaintiff is a journeyman plumber in Joiner. street, Lambeth, and the defendant was his landlord. On the sth of May a distraint was made for sewers' rate, which defendant was bound to pay. A man was put in possession, but the next day, during the absence of the plaintiff; de. fendant went with three men and forcibly took away not only thaplolaliff's good bat Wm those 'gall the 104%4 in now is when he first had it, and was not so stained in corns_ quince of his having wrapped it round the bottle. Mr. PArtimit asked the prisoner it she wished to say any. The prisoner —What I wish to say is, that part of what has been sworn is true, and part is not true. She was checked by her solicitor from making any further statement. Mr. PAYNTER said it was his duty to send the prisoner for trial on the capital cherge of administering a certain deadly poison, called oil of vitroil. to Mary Anne Barker, with intent to murder. She would be committed for trial, and as the girl's character bad been spoken of very highly by her friends, he wo u ld t a k e two sureties in 100/. elch for her ap pearance. The bail was not forthcoming, and the prisoner, who became much affected, was committed to florsemonger-lane gaol. WORSHIP-STREET. A respectable-looking man, named Juan Edwards, de scribed as a tobacco-manufacturer out of business, and re siding in Clarence-terrace, Haggerstone, was placed at the bar before Mr. Bingham, charged with having assaulted and dangerously wounded Ann Edwards, his wife, with a table knife. Mrs. Anne Grey, who stated herself to be the wife of a law writer, occupying apartments in the prisoner's house, de posed that between two and three o'clock on the preceding afternoon the prisoner, who had been a b sen t a ll t h e morn ing, returned home, and, entering an apartment in which the witness and her servant were in conversation with his wife, sat down to dialler. The prisoner's wife, who had already dined, was sitting on a sofa near the table, when some angry words ensued between them, and in the course of them the prisoner suddenly started up in a state of violent excitement, and flung the knife be had been using at his wife with such force that the point of the blade cut through the front of her ear, and remained fixed in her head. The injured woman instantly rsised her hand, and made an ineffectual attempt to extract the knife, in which she cut her fingers to the bone, and the prisoner then hastened towards her and forcibly pulled out the wea pon, which was immediately followed by a frightful gush of blood, on seeing which he raised her in his arms and has tened with her out of the house to procure medical assist ance. After remaining at the house of a neighbouring sur geon for several hours, in such a state of exhaustion as to preclude her removal, she was at length conveyed in a cab back to her own residence and placed in bed, where she then remained in a very precarious condition. A medical certificate was handed to the Bench describing the woman's condition, and The prisoner, upon being called on for his defence, ex pressed the deepest contrition for the unfortunate occurrence, which he stated bad resulted solely from his having incau tiously flung the knife out of his hand, on being provoked by some exasperating language his wife had used towards him, and, declaring that he had not the slightest intention of doing her any injury, assured the magistrate that the transaction was purely accidental. Mr. BINGHAM ordered him to be remanded to await the result of his wife's injuries, andperemptorily refused to accept bail fur his future appearance. CLE lIKENWELL. A woman named Keefe, of masculine figure and ferocious look, was charged with tiolently assaulting a poor man named Roche, who earns a scanty livelihood by selling fish. It appeared from the evidence that about a month ago the prisoner attacked the complainant in Gray's Inn-lane, and beat him dreadfully ; for so doing she was sentenced to a month's imprisonment in the House of Correction. This term expired yesterday, and she was no sooner liberated than she went to poor Roche's stall, knocked it down, threw his fish in the mud, and when he attempted to pick them up she attacked him, and struck bins so violently on the head that be fell on his back in the street. Mr. BROUGHTON sentenced her to a month's imprison ment, and the gaoler was conducting her to the cell, when she, observing Roche's wife standing in the crowd, imme diately darted upon her, and befo.e the gaoler could inter fere, struck her so violent a blow on the head that the poor old creature reeled back for several yards, and would have fallen down had not a spectator caught her in his arms. Mr. BROUGHTON ordered the prisoner to be brought back. She was no sooner placed at the bar than she exclaimed— " By G—, I will hang for them !" Mr. IluouGuaroN directed the gaoler to be sworn, who de posed to the assault and to her haying used the above-men. tioned threat. The prisoner --I repeat it. I will murder them. I know I shall be hanged for it, and a precious good jab too. No matter what term you send me to prison for, the moment I come out I will go to Roche's house, break the windows, tear down their place, a n d knife themselves. 1 will, by Cr— I will. Waddington (the gaoler)—She is one of the most desperate characters in London. Prisoner—What is that to you? If you send me to prison I'll pitch into the turnkeys right and left. Mr. BROUGHTON—Is the woman drunk or mad ? Waddington—She is neither. It is her terribly revengeful disposition. Prisoner (in a menacing manner)—You wretch. Mr. BROUGHTON—You must put handcuffs on her if she is not quiet. Prisoner—Do your worst. I may as well live in one place as another. Bah! Oh, if I knew this I'd play such a part before I came here as would give you all something to think of; I would, suppose I was to go down the string for it. Mr. BROUGHTON directed Mrs. Roche to come forward, and the poor woman was coming round, when the prisoner clinched her fir, and was evidently on the point of springing upon her, when Cale, a policeman, seized her. Mrs. Roche gave her evidence, and the magistrate directed :he prisoner to be committed in default of bail. The gaoler was concha:ding her round to the cell, when, in spite of every precaution, she escaped from him, and sprang upon Roche who was standing near the fireplace. She seized him by the hair and dashed his head against the wall with great violence. She was, however, secured and brought back again, when slut used the most violent language and gestures Mr. BR , ;UGHTON committed her for six months in default of bail, directing the gaoler to take care she did not lay vio lent hands upon herself. She was removed in the custody of four officers. WE STMINSIIE K. Mr. Somers, M.P. for Sligo, solicit e d th e mag i strate ' s in terference in the following matter:— Mr. Somers said, that about three or four months ago, in taking his latchkey from his pocket, he dropped a 10/. note in the street without being aware at the time of the loss, lie was subsequently informed that an advertisement had ippeared in a morning paper, stating that a 10/. note had aeen found. It seemed that the note was picked up by a boy in the service of a shoemaker named Denham, in Medway street, who had immediately given it to his master. Although the circumstances connected with the losing and finding of the note so corresponded as to leave no reasonable doubt that the note belonged to Mr. Somers, who having received it in exchange for Irish money was not in a condition at the moment to give the number, although he could with some trouble have procured it, the shoemaker appeared very reluc tant to part with it. but ultimately did so, when he (Mr. Someys) gave him 1/. for the advertisement, although the expense might probably not have amounted to more than 3s. 6d., and a further sum of 21. as a reward for the boy, who had answered the questions put to him in a very straight forward and honest manner, and appeared to be a very in telligent lad. He, of course, did not like to give a boy such a sum of money, front a feeling that it might be misapplied, and, as the lad's clothes were in a very deplorable state, he had put it into the hands of his master, in order that it might be applied to the best advantage for the benefit of the boy. He much regretted to bear that only 12s. or' the money L is a been expended in clothing for the lad, and that shortly after wards he had taken the apparel away from him, and sent him about his business. He (Mr. Somers) thought it exceedingly unjust that the boy should have been so treated, and had done himself the pleasure of waiting upon the magistrate to ascertain whether the master could not be compelled to give up the clothes and the remainder of the money? The chief usher informed the magistrate that there had been a summons taken against the shoemaker for detaining the boy's clothes but it had been dismissed, in consequence of his asserting that the money had been given to him by the gentleman for his own own use. Mr. Buratzen observed that it was quite clear that he had no power to interfere about the money, nor did he think he could with re-pect to the clothes, the case having been once heard and disposed of. He would, however, turn it over in his mind, and see whether anything could be done in the tnatter. Mr. Somers said he should feel very much obliged if he would. THE MURDER in W ARWICKSHIRE. KINETON. WEDNESDAY.—The magistrates of this division of the coanty held a special meeting here yesterday, which was very numerously attended, and at which it was re solved that an application should be made to the Home Secretary of State to offer a reward for the apprehension of the person or persons engaged in this diabolical affair. Every possible exertion has been used by the magistracy of the neighbourhood to unravel the mystery in w hi c h the 'transac tion is involved, and one or two circumstances have trans pired since the Coroner's inquest to confirm the opinion so decidedly given by the surgeon, Mr. Brown, upon his exami nation—namely, th a t th e d ecease d h ad died of an extensive fracture of the skull, occasioned by several severe blows from a blunt instrument, such as might have been inflicted by the piece of timber found under the person of Chater when he was discovered in a senseless state, bleeding from the mouth, near to Pittern-hill, which is about half a mile from Kineton, a very quiet secluded market town, containing a po pulation of about 1,400 inhabitants. It has already been stated that near the body of the murdered man a quantity of coffee was found spilled about the ground, as though in the course of a struggle it had fallen there, from the bursting of the paper in which it was wrapped ; but it has only just tran spired that this piece of paper, upon which are printed the name and address of the tradesman from whom the coffee was purchased (Meddoms, Kineton), was very carefully folded up in the deceased's pocket, as if put there after an attempt had been made to rob him, and with a view of pre venting any clue being given by it to the guilty parties. With the exception of a tew spots upon the piece of timber spoken of, no blood was found near the body, or anywhere in the vicinity, and this goes far to strengthen the supposition that, being a man of spare frame and weak habit (11' body, the deceased was carried to, and placed on, the spot where the carrier's son discovered him after the outrage had been perpe trated. It has also been stated that only a few pence were left in the pockets of the man, and there is no reason for sup posing that he was in possession of more than a very few shillings throughout the day, notwithstanding the attempt since made by rumour to give undue weight to the affair in this respect, in the conjecture that he had raised money that day by mortgaging some cottages belonging to him at the village of Cornbrook, where he resided. It appears, how ever, his real olij , ct in coming to Kineton was to procure an under- bailiff's situation, which had fallen vacant by death, on Lord NV illoughby de Broke 's estate, at Compton Verney. Mr. Roby, the well -known and active superintendent of police, has arrived from Leamington, and is now engaged in a thorough investigation of the whole circumstances, in the chain of which there is apparently one link to be ~,upplied, namely, where the deceased,' who was last seen in the town by a groom, named Fennell, about a quarter past ton at night, had spent his time between then and twelve o'clock, soon after which his body was found at the top of Pittern hill ; for two individuals connected with the Warwtekddro kennels passed the spot at half-past eleven, and described the night to be so light that they " could see rabbits run across the road," but saw no man lying down, whi c h t h ey consider thermust have do ne had any one been there, as they had to drive a horse which shied at any dark object in the road. Suspicion has fallen upon some inmates, on the night of the murder, of a lodgi ng -h ouse, kept by a blind ma,i, who lost his sight in Egypt 45 years ago, under the miiitary generalship of the celebrated Sir Ralph Ahercromby, and now enjoys a Pension ; he also k ee p s a lod g ing- house in King-stre e t, D rury. lane, from which metropolitan establish ment one of the suspected parties married his wife. It iE thought that the inquiries now in course of being made by Mr. Roby will terminate in a result that will materially lessen the excitement which the melancholy occumnee has occasioned for several miles around the neighbourhood of Kineton.

A CHAPTIER OP RAILWAY ACCIDENTS. --011 Wed nesday, the Sunday-school children in connexion with several of the Dissenting chapels of Birmingham, were treated with a railway trip to Cheltenham. After leaving the Birmingham station, and before the train had progressed many milee, two of the carriages were found to have got off the rails, and the consequence was a delay of some time. After making all right, the train again started, but they were doomed to a second check, in consequence of a portion of the carriages becoming detached from the general train. This occasioned another delay, but all having been adjusted, the train once more started. but was again subjected to a similar mischance. The only results were some inconveni ence and delay, and after these little annoyances a pleasant d a y was spear , ' sad all retarnecl home well pleased with tin eacurdin. 7.11 ARKET NEWS.—(YESTERDA- CenZt During the p:iFt we.-± the arrivals of English Whcat our market 1!..1 boon oa .moderate scale, viz., only O d e' . quarters; the steeds bein g very scant il y suppl i e d, the , mend for wheat of ho me p ro d uce was steady, at MODu% prices.
