Mr. ESPINASSE said as it appeared the grantor lived in the town he might have been asked whether the rent-charge was correctly granted or not, and as no inquiries seemed to have been made, he should award 20s. costs.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. SECONDARIES' COURT, September 18. This Court did not sit to-day, no causes having bee: set down for trial. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, September 18. (Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.) IN RE HARE. The bankrupt in this case had carried on business as a linen-draper, in New-street, Dorset-square, and came up for his certificate. Mr. Cooke appeared on behalf of the assignees, to urge that the case should be adjourned, under the following circumstances :—lt appears that he was indebted to sundry creditors in the sum of 2,2081., but the while of his property had been swept away under an assignment to his brother. The bankrupt left London in March last, on a plea of extreme ill-health, and said he was going to Paris, which, however, he did not, but left a power of attorney with a person named Snellgarde, to carry on the business, and the latter had applied some of the assets,• and the brother had sold off everything. An action was brought to try the validity of the assign ment, and is still pending. Mr. Lucks, for the bankrupt, submitted that he ought not to be held responsible for the conduct of Snellgarde. The Learned COMMISSIONER said the person holding the power of attorney could only legally do what his principal could do. Mr. LUCAS continued—That the bankrupt had been in a very precarious state, and his friends, thinking, he would die, insisted on his seeing them secured ; but at that time he thought himself solvent. The Learned COMMISSIONER said that, unless it could be shown there was a very great degree of ignorance, the bankrupt was the person in the wrong; he had given the assignment, intending it to be acted on. He did not see that a creditor who held the assignment acted wrong, nor would he say now that there was fraud on the part of the bankrupt, but there were good grounds for 'tic ceeding to Mr. Cooke's application. The certificate was then adjourned till the sittings after next term. PALACE COURT, September 18. (Before Mr. CORRIE.) GLEN V. ROGERS. NOTING Bum or EXCHANGE.—This was an action to recover the sum of 411. 3s. 3d. on a bill of excha nge and I. 0. U., and ss. for noting, and 3s. for interest. Mr. LOCKE, for the plaintiff, said it would only be necessary to put in the bill and note to entitle the plain tiff to a verdict. The Learned JUDGE said the charge for noting could not be made. Mr. LocKE said that he should be able to prove that the defeniant had promised to pay that amount in con sideration that time was given, and therefore it could be recovered under the account stated. The Learned JUDGE said it was a special contract, and it would be much better not to take it. Mr. LOCKE said he must press his right to it. It was allowed in all the superior courts. The Learned JUDGE said that this was new in prac tice to him, and he did not see the justice of allowing it. It was an expense incurred fur the plaintiff's own ad vantage. Mr.LocgE said the bankers had noted it for greater security. A witness was then called, and proved the promise to pay. The Learned JUDGE said he would leave the case to the jury, but mth.t tell them that. in his opinion, there was a special contract. The jury would, however, say whether they considered he was entitled. The jury, after about five minutes, gave a verdict for the full amount. SURREY SESSIONS. Elizabeth Green, Mary lio!lands, Jane Biggs, Maria Roast, Ellen Johnson, and Ellen Sullivan, were indicted with having unlawfully committed a riot and breach of the peace at St. John's workhouse, Southwark. William Armitage, potter to the above workhouse, stated that on the evening of the 19th of August, the women's ward was in a complete state of rebelli.?n. Hu entered it at the time, and found the prisoners foremost in creating the disturbance. On remonstrating with them they defied his interference ' and used such disgust ing and threatening language that he was compelled to send for the police and give the prisoners into custody. The witness further added, that the prisoners were a terror to the inmates of the house, and had frequently been punished for their misbehaviour. They were in mates of the house, and had on many occasions been placed in situations by the guardians, but owing to their gross misconducr had been discharged. The prisoners behaved in a very indecorous manner before the Bench, and denied the whole of the evidence adduced against them. The CHAIRMAN asked whether they had been con victed on any previous occasion ?—Witness replied in the affirmative. They had been several times sum marily convicted at the Southwark Police-court. The Magistrate, on that account, committed them for trial, believing that the punishment they would receive would prevent such disorder occurring again in the workhouse. The jury, after a few minutes' consultation, Acquitted the prisoner, but recommended some attention in the mode of admitting paupers into the workhouse. Such women as the prisoner, they considered, ought to be re fused admission, which would be the only means of pre venting the recurrence of such disorders. The pri soners, who had suffered nearly a month's imprison ment, were then discharged. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. James Ring, the man who was charged on Tuesday last with havingattempted to commit suicide, by hanging himself, was brought up again this day, and, on his ex pressing contrition for his folly and rashness, he was discharged. Mr. Cook, a farmer and grazier, being also a cattle salesman in London, preferred a complaint again , t Mr. Smith, a brother salesman, for using abusive and threat ening language in Smithfield market. The complainant stated that he considered himself in danger from the violence of the defendant. In the course of the inquiry it appeared that the whole matter, which had at length assumed a serious character, arose out of some very trivial illustrations of the adage, that " two of a trade cannot agree." After a good deal of wrangling between the solicitors, Mr. Sidney Smith, for the complainant, and Mr. Nobler, for the defendant, Mr. Alderman Hunter bound over the parties to keep the peace towards each other. BO W-S TRE ET. Mr. Kinnct, the deputy-postmaster of Raleigh, who had been remanded from Tuesday, on a charge of steal ing a Si. note from a letter directed to Mr. Chambers, at Raleigh, was placed at the bar before Mr. Jardine this morning. Mr. Peacock appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Parry for the prisoner. Captain Osborne William Chambers said, that on the 28th March last, he wrote a letter (the same that was now produced), in which he enclosed a five-pound note. He took down the particulars of that note on a slip of paper, which he had since lost. The number of the note was 94,497, and the date Nov. 14, 1845. Here a difficulty arose in proving that the letter was directed to Mr. Chambers. The envelope was not pro duced, and Mr. Parry objected to the admission of secondary evidence. Mr. Peacock called several witnesses, clerks in the Secretary's department at the Post-office, to show that the envelope had been lost. It appeared from their evidence that an envelope had been received at the Post-office, being enclosed in a letter to the Post master-General—that this envelope had been sent to the postmaster at Folkestone, and being returned to the secretary's department here, had been sent to Paris. Since that time it had not been seen. A diligent search bad been made for it, but had failed. Mr. JARDINE said that this evidence would not afford sufficient ground for admitting evidence as to the super scription on the envelope. Not only was there no satis factory evidence of the envelope having been lost, bat it appeared pretty clear that it had been sent to Paris, and was there still. Mr. Peacock said he had written to Paris about it, and he found the envelope had been sent posted in a letter to the post-master at Folkestone. Mr. JARDINE said, that if that could be proved, and if evidence was given that a search had been made at Folkestone, a case for the admission of secondary evi dence would be established. Mr. Peacock said, that if time was given he could give much evidence. In the meantime he was pre pared to trace the letter into the possession of the pri soner. Mr. Peacock then called Mr. Cullins, mail-master at Folkestone, and Thomas Hart, a Custom -house officer at the same place, who proved the recept there of the letter- box, bring letters by the Queen of the French steamer on the 28th of March. It was forwarded in the usual manner. Mr. Chambers, being re-called, proved that he-him self had put the letter in the box at Boulogne on that day. Peacock, being unable to carry the evidence further this day, applied to have the prisoner remanded to Tuesday. Mr. JARDINE said, he had no doubt that th e prose tutors would , use all diligence to complete the case by that day, and that if they could not do so, they would_ not propose to carry it further. Mr. Peacooli said, that of course all diligence would be used. THE REGISTRATION. CITY. Yesterday morning. at ten o'clock, Mr. Arnold resumed the revision of the freemens' list in the Court of Com mon Pleas. Guildhall, beginnining with the Innholderb' Company. Mr. Simnel Brown, the Conservative agent, withdrew his objections to several names. The name of Mr. Ridley, residing at ()swell, in Sus sex, was struck off the list, although the claimant actually carries on business in the City. The Learned Barrister next took the list of the Musicians Company, from which three names were ex punged, the claimants not attending to answer the ob. .p,ctions. The Needlemakers Company was next proceeded with, but the cases of objection which were raised pre sented nothing .of importance. Some names (on Con servative objections) were expunged, no one appearing to defend their retention on the list. BOROUGH OF MARYLEBONE. The revision of the list of voters for the Borough of Marylebone commenced yesterday morning, at the Bo rough Court House, Marylebone-lane, before the Re vising Barrister, D. C. Moylan, Esq. 1 he Conservative claims and objections were supported by Mr. Greenwood, while the Free.trade party were represented by Mr. Ivemy—we regret we can only say "represented, for out of the number of claims and ob jections made in the several districts below detailed, not one emanated from the Liberals, all having been either put in by the Tories, or made by the overseers, on paro chial or other technical grounds. - The following is a summary of the claims and ob jections, as put in by the Tory party:— Marylebone parish Objections 609 ; Claims 27 St. Pancras Objections 526; Claims 8 Paddington Making a total of objections lodged by the Conserva tives against the Liberal voters, of 1,216 ; and 39 claims for the insertion of Conservative voters on the registry. There were a number of claims lodged by the several overseers but as a matter of course, they bore no re ference to the politics of the parties objtcted to. In Marylebone and Paddington parishes those claims amounted to 37, with no objections, and in St. Pancras parish, to 94, with 2 objections. On the REVISING BAIRISTEE taking his seat on the bench, and previous to the overseers handing in their respective lists, he stated that it was his intention to hold his Court by adjournment at the Vestry-room, Gordon-square, for the revision of the lists for St. Pan eras parish, on Monday next, at eleven o'clock. After the several lists had been handed in, in the usual form, it was arranged that the objections to the list of All Souls parish, amounting to 120, should be taken first, all of which, with the exception of eight, Mr. Greenwood, on the part of the Conservatives, succeeded in establishing. None of the parties whose names were objected to appeared in support of their claims, and thus in the revision of the first list taken this day, the regis ter was reduced by the names of 112 Liberals. Not the slightest point of importance, either legally or as a matter of general interest, arose during the revision of this list, which occupied the court up to the time of our going to press. BOROUGH OF FINSBURY. The revision of the list of voters for the borough o Finsbury took place yesterday, before D. C. Moylan. Esq., the revising barrister, in th e Vi ce -Ch ance ll or of England's Court, Lincoln's Inn. , _ ... ... There were no objections, and but sixty-nine claims from persons to be placed on the register, in the fifteen parishes, liberties, and inns of court forming the borough. Not one case of any public importance occurred during the day. The following was the result of the revision:— Parishes. Claims. Allowed. Disallowed. St. Andrew, Holborn, and St. George the Martyr 1 1 0 St. George, Bloomsbury 8 0 8 St. Giles-in-the-fields St. James, Clerkenwell St. Luke, Old-street ... St. Mary, Islington 33 26 7 St. Sepulchre Total 69 43 26 , On revising the lists for Clerkenwell and Islington the Barrister complained of the omission from the list of hundreds of Christian names, which the overseers said was caused by the shortness of time allowed them to make out the lists. HERTFORD. Mr. Espinasse held his court yesterday at the Town hall, Hemel Hempstead, where it was adjourned from the Bell Inn, as advertised, in consequence of the number of persons in attendance, and the want of sufficient accom modation at that place. W. H. James, George Fitch. and E. R. Spence, Esqs., appealed for the Liberal and Free-trade party, and 'l'. IV. Blagg and C. E. Grover, Esqs., for the Conservatives. On the Hemel Hempstead list being taken, Mr. James took an objection to the list being proc e eded with under the following circumstances. It appeared that the cor rect manner of spelling Hemel Hempstead was with the letter " a,' ° under the 2d and 3d William IV., cap. 84. In the notice published by the revising bar rister of the courts ho should hold, and the parishes be should take at these courts, under the information that the court would sit at Hemel Hampsted, ap peered the ,parish list of " Hemel Hempstead"--et so happened, that the heading of the list of voters, delivered to the revising barrister, was stated to be a list for the parish of Hemel Hempstead. Mr. James therefore contended, that before the Barrister could legally revise that list, he must correct it under the powers given him under the 40 sec. of the 6 Vie. cap. 18. The Barrister had given notice to revise a list that was not before him. Mr. ESPINASSE said, the list before him was the one he had received from the clerk of the peace, and the one which was spoken of in the notice of the time of holding the courts. He did not think it necessary to alter the heading of the list to enable him to proceed. Mr. Fitch thought it would be better that the list should be corrected, as a question might afterwards be raised. Mr. Fitch was about to proceed with some further remarks, when Mr. Espinasse sharply asked him if he au( tided there as an agent? Mr. Fitch said he did. Mr. ESPINASSE did not think there was anything in the objection, and proceeded to revise the list as it stood without correction. Sixteen gentlemen, claiming for rent charges in the parish of Hemel Hempstead, on property situate at Mar lowes, were objected to by the Conservatives, and a long argument arose as to the value of the premises upon which the rent-charges were secured, from which it appeared that the encumbrances upon it, besides these rent charges, were so heavy that there was not sufficient value to bear the rent charges of 40s. each; the names were consequently expunged. In the same list William Henry Ashurst, claiming for a rent-charge in fee, was objected to by the Con servatives. Mr. James put in a deed dated the 21st of January last, by which the rent-charge was conveyed to Mr. Ashurst, but the rent was not payable until January, 1847. NO rent had been received upon the deed. Mr. Grover contended that as the rent was payable yearly, the case came within the decision of the Court of Common Pleas. In the case of Murray v. Thornilly, in whi ,, h a rent charge was granted in January, 1845, the first payment of which was to be made in January, 1846, it was held that the grantee was not entitled to be regis tered as having been " in actual possession thereof" for six calendar months nextorevious to the last day of July, within the section 22 of the 2d William IV., cap. 45, and submitted that the claimant would not be enn tled to claim until he had received rent, and had been put in actual possession of the rent-charge. • Mr. ESPINASSE said he was of the same opinion. He considered this a similar case in all its points to that of Murray and Thornilly. _ Mr. Fitch submitted that it was not. There was a very material variance between the two cases; the grant of the rent-charge before the Court of Common Pleas was evidently a grant at common law, and that the only seisin under that deed was a seisin in law—such seism the Court of Common Pleas decided was not a sufficient compliance with the requisites of the statute ; but it was a far different case before this Court. Here the title to the rent-charge was conferred by an appoint ment of the use and under the Statute of Uses, which transferred the actual possession to the use, there was both a seisin in fact and a seisin in law. The words in the deed of rent-charge were, " and he (the grantor) doth by these presents direct, limit, and appoint ;" and it was those words which gave the grantee bodily possession of the rent-charge under the Statute of Uses. He contended, therefore, that the re quisitions of the Reform Act, which rendered the actual possession of the qualification necessary, were complied with ; for it was impossible to distinguish actual pos session under the statute of Henry 11. (the Statute of Uses) from the actual possession required by the Reform Act. Were it otherwise, the title of the greater portion of the land in this kingdom would be subverted. He then went into the necessity of the old assurance of lease and release as methods of conveyance, and con tended that the same principles, as a matter of course, placed the party as much in actual possession of a rent charge as in possession of his estate. Mr. ESPINASSE said he was clearly of opinion that in this case the claim to vote could not be supported. He could not distinguish this case from that of Murray e Thornilly. It appeared to him that " actual possession" under the Reform Act, must be actual possession in fact, as contradistinguished to actual possession in law, and in this case he thought the voter had not been in such actual possession as was required by the Act, and should therefore expunge the name. Mr. Fitch applied to the Court for a case of appeal. Mr. ESPINASSE did not think there was a doubt in the case; besides the case had clearly been decided before by the case of Murray v. Thornilly, and he should not be doing his duty if he burdened the Court of Common Pleas with cases which had before been decided by them; he should therefore not grant a case. In the same list the name of George Glass was objected I to by the Conservatives. b . Ir. Glass cl a i me d f or a rent char"e on property situate in the High -street. M. Fitch, who supported the claim, called Mr. Smith, the owner of the property, who stated that in January last he granted to itr. Glass a rent-charge of forty shil- ~ t~.~:` THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 10, 1,146, The Court then divided, when the original motion was carried by a majority of 31 ; the numbers being—for the admission of the bust, 65 ; against it, 34. The prisoner was accordingly remanded to Tuesday., Before he was removed from the dock, he applied, through Mr. Parry, to have restored to him the 51; country bank-note which had been taken from him by the officer of the Post-office constabulary, but upon which no charge had been founded. Mr. Peacock said that there could be no objection to that, as no suspicion whatever any longer attached to the prisoner on account of that note. On the contrary, he understood froth Mr. Parry, the clergyman from Raleigh, who paid it to the prisoner, was present to give evidence, if required, as to the mode in which it came into his possession. THE COAL WHIPPERS. Upon the motion of Mr. W. S. • HALE, the petition of Mr. Hobler for the payment of his bill of charges in pro curing the Coal Whippers' Act, was referred to a com mittee. Mr. Hobler had by great labour and skill, and at great expense from his private purse, obtained the Bill in Parliament ; and Mr. Wire, who had been op posed to him all through, did justice to the extraordi nary exertions of the petitioner in all the laborious pre parations and in every stage of the legislative proceedings. MARYLEBONE. John Barker was charged with stealing three half quartern loaves from a baker's basket in Weymouth street that morning. The owner of the basket having been informed of the theft, he and another baker went in quest of the prisoner, who, returning, dropped the three loaves into the basket again, and made off. Policeman 77 D took the prisoner into custody. The prisoner said he had not broken his fast since yesterday morning, and admitted having taken two loaves. Mr. RAWLINSON said one loaf would have satisfied the cravings of nature, therefore he must commit him for trial. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ALLEGED FAVOURITISM BY THE POLICE.—A batch of omnibus drivers were summoned by the police for stop ping at the White Horse Cellar, Piccadilly, longer than was necessary to set down or take up passengerc. Amongst these summonses was one against Andrew Fletcher, the driver of a Richmond omnibus. Police-constable C 134 nroved that on the day stated in the summons the eefendant stopped before the White Horse Cellar, Piccadilly, for two minutes, during whicls time he neither took up nor set down passengers. In defence, the driver said the police stationed at the White Horse Cellar, from some cause which they alone could explain, chose to favour the Hammersmith omni buses, and to deal oppressively with the Richmond om nibuses. The first were allowed to stop at the White Horse Cellar without limit; the last were hardly allowed to draw up before the office. The species of favouritism was known to and protested against by several of those gentlemen who resided at Richmond, and who were in the habit of riding with him. He denied that he stopped longer than was necessary, and he hadevidence to estab lish that fact.; The defendant first produced a letter from a gntleman at Richmond, named Wall, which stated that the defen dant had not stopped, as the summons declared, longer in Piccadilly than was absolutely necessary. Two witnesses, Mr. Godfrey Dyne, of Bolton House, Turaham. green, and Mr. Whitby, of Richmond, deposed to the same effect, and expressed their belief that par tiality was exercised by the police in the cases of the Richmond and Hammersmith omnibuses. Inspector Aggs, C division, said he was entirely igno rant of the suspicion of partiality entertained against the police. He could assure the Bench the police had no au thority to show favour to any party. The constables were to treat all alike, and as some proof that this par tiality was imaginary, be would just mention that the very next summons the Court would be called upon to hear was one against the driver of a Hammersmith omni bus for loitering. Mr. HARDWICK readily acquitted the superintendent and inspectors of any intention to act otherwise than wi*s the utmost fairness; but as the impression of par tiality appeared to be shared by so many "respectable witnesses, he could not help thinking there must be some ground for the belief. The defendant had been sum moned for stopping two minutes only, and respectable witnesses had sworn that during that time the defendant was engaged in the business of the omnibus. Now he thought that it was att em p t i ng t o carry out the Act in a spirit and manner foreign to its real intention, for the police to summon a person for stopping so short a time, and more especially when the convenience of the public appeared to require that this temporary stopping should occur. Under the circumstances of the case he must dis miss the summons. A second summons against the same defendant for a like offence was also dismissed. John James Knight, a well-dressed boy, was brought up by Mr. Allenby, 195, Regent-street, who charged him with embezzling various sums of money, to the amount of at least 131. 85. The complainant said the boy was cash taker in his shop, and for some time had been entering the sums in. correctly. The books were made up and balanced every night by the boy at the bar in company with another, who called over the sums in the small check-book. Le one case the several items were properly and truly en tered, but summed up 31. 17s. instead of 4/. 17s_, the true amount, but the boy called over the latter sum instead of the one he bad put in the cash-book, showing that the error was intended. On Monday night they found on o balancing the books that there was a deficit of 5/. The boy absconded on that day. lie had been in the same shop for two years. The prisoner admitted he had put down the wrong sum and pocketed the difference. The case was remanded till Tuesday next. SOUTH WARK. Thursday Frederick Dixon, a man of respectable ap pearance, appeared before Mr. Combe on a charge of absconding with the wife of James Williams, a milk man, of Portsmouth-street, Lincoln's Inn-fields, and stealing a portrait painting, a Bible, and other articles. The complainant stated that about three years ago he engaged the prisoner as his clerk, and in five' months afterwards, business calling him into the country, he. left home. His business being finished in. a month, fir returned to town, when to his great surprise and morti fication he found that his wife had eloped with the pri soner, after having ransacked his house of a consider able quantity of property. He had made repeated in quiries after the fugitives, but could obtain no precise information about them until last Friday evening, when he discovered the prisoner was living in the Broadway. •St. Thomas's Hospital. On the following morning he went to the prisoner's place of abode, and finding several articles his property, and which had been taken from his house at the period his wite eloped, accordingly gave the prisoner into custody. The ,prisoner, in the . most indignant manner, re pelled the charge. and said that he never acted as clerk to the complainant, who merely employed him in his capacity of accountant, be (the complainant) being at the time an uncertificated bankrupt. That with . respect to the complainant's wife, she bad been treated in a shameful manner by him, and his conduct was so bad to her that she determined not to remain any longer under his roof, and accordingly quitted bis house without a shilling. At that period be (prisoner) was living in the district of Queen square. and out of cornpession admitted the poor woman into his house from pure motives of humanity, and no other feeling. That the complainant knew perfectly well where his wife had taken refuge, and, as a proof of this being the case, about 18 months ago he (prisoner) gave him in charge for creating a disturbance in front of his house. The next morning he was taken before Mr. Bond, at Queen-square, and punished by the infliction of a fltle, which he (prisoner) subsequently paid for him, not hay ing the money himself, in order to prevent him from being sent to gaol. The MAGISTRATZ said that he was very much in cline,' to believe the prisoner's statement of the affair, he having admitted, without disguise, that the few articles found at his house were brought there by the prisoner', wife, at the time it was alleged she was compelled to abandon her home. However, without the pro duction of much stronger evidence he (the Magistrate ) should not think of sending the case before a jury, but merely continue the accused's recognisances to appear when called on. charge herself, and the prisoner was accordingly con veyed to the station. In answer to the charge, the prisoner said that he had been drinking freely, and was unable to explain how he got into the house oranytbing that subsequentlyoccurred. kr. BROUGHTON characterised the case as one of the most flagrant that had come und er hi s cogn i zance , and said, that on a review of all - the circumstances, he could come to no other conclusion than that the husband had been accessory to the whole transaction for the further ance of some ulterior object, the nature of which was sufficiently °l:minus. He considered the prisoner's defence an aggravation of his conduct, and should therefore, order him to be committed at once for a criminal assault, and direct the immediate apprehension of the husbace ' to answer for ,th e p rev i ous ill- usage towards his unfortunate wife. STARVATION IN LEWES GAOL. The Sussex magistrates, living in the vicinity of Lewes, and most of whom are visiting justices a the House of Correction, held a meeting at the County Hall, for the purpose of investigating the circumstances con nected with the death of James Allen, on whose body an inquest waieheld on Monday week. The magistrates present were the Earl of Chicester, Mr. Sergeant D'Oyley, Sir H. Shiffner, Bart., Mr. Blackman, Mr. Moline aux, and Mr. J. G. Blencowe. The meeting took place at the termination of the usual business of the weekly petty sessions, and the reporters of the local press having left, Lord Chichester expressed his regret at the circumstance; whereupon a message was sent to the offices of the two Sussex papers, published in Lewes, and in a few minutes reporters from those papers were in attendance. On the arrival of the representatives of the press, an examination of the officers of the gaol com menced; but in order to refresh the minds of our readers with the circumstances of the case, we first give a sum mary of that portion of the evidence adduced at the inquest, which shows the cause of the inquest being held, and which will be necessary to render the present examination intelligible. Our readers, we take for granted, remember that the verdict attributed the death of the deceased to the rigorous enforcement of his sentence of eight months' hard labour, interspersed, as it was, with nine separate weeks of solitary confinement, combined with the insufficiency of the prison diet. The father and sister of the deceased deposed at the inquest that the deceased entered the prison as a healthy man, never having had a day's illness ; that at the end of six months they were, for the first time, ad mitted to an interview with him, when they saw him looking very ill, but that he made no complaint to them, the governor of the gaol being present at the interview ; that when the deceased came out of gaol at the end of his eight months' imprisonment, he was very weak; that he suffered much from diarrhoea, and soon afterwards died, notwithstanding that he was attended by Mr. Ver rall, the parish surgeon at Brighton, and at his recom mendation was supplied by the directors and guardians with all the nourishment which his case required ; that while on his deathbed he stated, that in the gaol he was very weak, that the food was not enough for him, that when the prisoners had what was called soup, it was only " skilly, ' that no meat could be seen in it, but that there were bits of something resembling cow's udder boiled up; that he complained to the surgeon and the chaplain of weakness and illness, but was told that he must work at the treadmill; and that one day he was so ill that he could not go to the treadmill; and that in consequence he was placed in/the woodhouse, where the flesh peeled off his hands, and that notwithstanding he was obliged to work. He stated further, while on.his deathbed, that when he was in solitary confinement he was very ill, and that from six o'clock in the morning till six o'clock at night his bed was taken from him, and that when he could not sit on the edge of the bedstead be was obliged to be on the cold stones or boulders. Ile thought he should have died, as there was no ore to see; and he asked the doctor if he could not give him any thing for weakness in the inside; when the doctor gave him some pills which did him no good. He told the man who was over him in the woodhouse, that the flesh came off his hand, on hearing which the man said he must work or be reported. When they sent him to chapel he was so hungry that he could not listen to what the minister said, and if he dropped a crumb while eat • ing his bread, so hungry was he that he would after wards cross his cell to pick it up. This was the evidence, a rumour of which led to the inquest. In addition, Mr. W. Verrall, of Brighton, sur geon, deposed that when the deceased came out of pri son he was suffering from diarrhoea and disease of the lungs, for which he (witness) attended him almost daily, being, however, satisfied from the first that there was no chance of recovery. The disease ot the chest appeared to have existed a considerable time, and from a post mortem examination witness thought it was of five or six months' standing. • A man with such a disease was unfit for hardlabour or solitary confinement, and paucity of food would tend to aggravate the disease. Such dis eases required a generous diet. It was to meet this evidence that the magistrates now examined witnesses, but not on oath. We subjoin an sh.tract of their statements: — Mr. John Sanders, governor of the Lewes House of Correction, stated—James Allen, the deceased, was on bail before his trial,.and he came into my c istody on the 27th of November, the day of the adjourned Michael/Las sessions, fir stealing 25., the property of Mr. L. Siight, clerk of the commissioners at Brighton, from a desk in •the Town-hall. He was sentenced to eight calendar months' hard labour, except the first week of every month and the last week of his sentence, which was in solitary confinement. He was discharged on Saturday, the 25th of July. The greater part of his time he was on the treadmill, besides the pump. and other labour. lie never complained to me of inability work, or of insuffi ciency of food. I saw him every day. and sometimes twice or more. When in solitary confinement, he was in a boarded cell with the exception of two or three weeks, when he remained in a cell having a stone floor. He had a wooden bedstead, and need not lie upon the stone floor. There is no floor with boulders. The stone floors are fiat, the cell having the stone floor was in the upper part of the prison, and very dry. He was never taken from the wheel to the woodhouse, except in his turn, and never for lighter work. Ile had a cough sometimes in July, for which he was treated by the surgeon. I saw him leave the prison, and meet his friends outside. His friends had visited him in the beginning of June ; they made no remark to me as to his appearance or treatment. The meat in the soup is from clods cut up into small pieces. It was always beef clods, stickings, and shins. There were -no pieces of cow's udder in it, or anything like cow's' udder. It is wrong to say he was obliged to sit upen the stone floor. He might sit upon the bedstead or water-closet, the lid of' which is a good wooden seat. I have no reason to think he ever complained to a turnkey. The turnkey would have re ported it to me if he had. The dietatly consists of 111 b. good wheaten bread, made of the best seconds flour, two pints of gruel, 1 Oz. of meal (flour and oatmeal mixed) to each pint, one pint of soup, 3 oz. of meat (beef), without bone, 1 ox. of mixed meal. 2 oz. of pita tdes, and leeks or onions to flavour it, to each pint. This is for the first three months. After three months 110. of potatoes is allowed daily, in addition. The witness having signed his examination, the next witness was called. Mr. R. Turner, surgeon, deposed —I saw Allen when he first came into the prison. He was in good health. Two months after he came in he labeured under a gonorrhoea. I treated him for it accordingly. He was very anxious about his complaint. His diet • was 141 b. of bread a day, one pint of soup, and two pints of gruel. The soup contains three ounces of meat without bone, one ounce of mixed meal, two ounces of potatoes, and leeks or onions to flavour it to each pint. This is for the first three months; after wards 11b. of potatoes was given daily in a dditi on . I have often tasted the soup; it is very good; no cottager ever gets better. There could be no cow's udder in it. It is good nutritious food, with three ounces of meat in each pint. The soup is always stirred up; so that each prisoner may have an equal quantity of meat. Allen was from six weeks to two months labouring under the com plaint of which I have spoken. He was treated by me accordingly. No obstacle has ever been thrown in the way of increased diet. I have ordered, au-I my instruc tions are to order, extra diet, if think it necessary. I consider one pound of potatoes as a great addition. The prisoners are thankful for it. A prisoner now in the gaol is having porter and mutton every day. The de ceased complained of cough on the Bth of July. He had complained on the 20th of June of spasms in the stomach, for which I treated him and cured him, and at the end of June he said he was well. I prescribed for his cough on the Bth of July, arid never afterwards. He never complained of diarrhaes. I saw him the day before he went out. I have seen him on the wheel, and he made no complaint that he was unable to work. The turnkey - would report every case of weakness of a prisoner on the wheel, and I should immediately attend to it. I cannot imagine the diet iusutficient. The dietary agrees very well with the prisoners generally. Free drinkers would feel it most. There is au alteration ot diet from the labour to the solitary cell of 21 ounees a day out of 49. They do not have the soup and potatoes in solitary. I have not seen the prisoners suffer from this change of diet in solitary confinement. The Rev. Richard Burnett, chaplain to the House of Correction, deposed--I have a distinct recollection of Allen's case. I saw the first entry in the surgeon's book of some complaint. I ask;-d him if he had any complaint, and he said he had not. He was low-spirited in solitary confinement. He was naturally silent. He could not read when he came in. He attended my school, and learned to read and acquired information. He made no Mr. HowELL considered the inquiry going on by the board of direct Ors a partial ore. They were themselves inculpated in the matter, and had constituted them selves the judges in their own case. fie considered the only satisfactory mode to !)e pursued was to have a com mittee appointed on the part of the vestry, and another on the part of the rate-payers, to go into the whole mat ter.—(Hear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN considered the board of directors could not be charged with conducting their inquiry unfairly. The doors of the board room were open to vestrymen and rate-payers, and there were three reporters for the press present taking notes of their proceedings. Mr. BRIGHTON considered the more rigid and general the ibtquiry was made, the more satisfactory it would prove to the rate•psycrs. It would also be more satis factory if the vestry, who were the representatives of the rate-payers, made the investit.►ation. He would move, as an amendment, " that ten mmbers of the vestry b'e selected to carry out the necessary inquiry, with the di rectors of the poor," Mr. MANN seconded the amendment. Mr. Churchwarden JIOWARTR denied that the board of directors were in any way ituplicated themselves in the charges made. Many of the regulations had existed for thirty years, and the board was a perfectly com petent tribunal to inquire into the general discipline of the workhouse and the conduct of their trflioers. With respect to the appointment' f vestrymen, the Vard were an indernde , .t. body, and c uld not legally act with them.—(Oh, oh.) The vestry, if they thought proper, could appoint a committee of their own, but if they did so it would imply a want of confidence in the di rect,irs. Mr. GOODW/11 admitted that the guardians, as also the vestry, were re-motely mixed up in the charges made, but at the same time he thought the interference of the vestry premature. Mr. T. H. SMITH, as a director, was desirous of every publ , city, and if the amendment, was withdrawn, he should call upon the vestry clerk to issue a summons calling upon the whol e o f the vestry to attend the next investigation by the beard of directors.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. HowanTH hardly saw the necessity, us the board had determined, at the conclusion of their evidence on Tuesday, merely to meet on the next occasion to consider their report. The amendment having been withdrawn, the original resolution was put and carried. Mr. SMITH said, afier the statements about the report, he would now move that a committee be appointed to inquire into the conduct of the directors, the rules and regulations, and general management of St. Pancras workhouse. The CHAIRMAN announced that it was ten minutes past four o'clock, and notice not having been given of the motion, he could not receive it. The vestry then broke up. THE EARL OF RIPON AND THE lux. MR: CROWTHER. Mr. Crowther has addressed the following letter to the Editor of the Times, in reply to the defence of the Earl of Ripon's solicitor, of that Nobleman's conduct : ' Sir,--I have this moment seen a letter in your paper of the 12th from Mr. Narson, of Sleaford, the solicitor of Lord Ripon, which letter he states. he writes by his Lordship's directions. In that letter he states, " althoneh Lord Ripon had nothing to do with Mr. Crowther's appointment, he, nevertheless, (the Vicarage-house not being then vacant), put him in possession of furnished apartments, rent free, and paid 401. towards his salary as curate." After this public statement from Lord Ripon, the public will: per haps, be surprised when I state that, instead of having the furnished apartments ." rent free," I virtually paid 301. a year for the rent of the same. The stipend to which I was legally entitled was 1201., instead of which I only received 901.; and my vicar, the Rev. W. T. Marsh, in one of his letters tells me that the remaining 301. he considers fully made up by the furnished apart ments which Lord Ripon had provided for his conve- nience. With respect to the other assertion of Lord Ripont that he paid 401. towards my salary, I can only say i is the first time I ever heard that he contributed any towards my stipend ; and if he did so, it must have been paid to the vicar, the Rev. W. T. Marsh, who, and who alone, was benefited by it, as I never received one farthing, either directly or indirecly, from his Lordship. I remain, Sir, yours very respectfully, 11ENRY CRO TIIER. The Rectory, Waddington, Lincoln, Sept. 14. P.S. I would add, that I know Lord Ripon is fully aware that I was virtually paying the 30/. a year for his furnished apartments, because in September, 1845, I sent one of his principal tenants (Mr. Cartwright), in whose house I resided, with the newspaper to Lord Ripon, con taining Mr Marsh's advertisement offering 90/. a year and a furnished house ; and he told Lord Ripon, by my direction, that Mr. Marsh considered himself entitled to deduct the 301. for the apartments. DISTRESSING ACCIDENT IN THE WEST INDIA DOCKS.—Thursday an inquest was held at Mr. Finney's, the Queen's Head, Poplar, .before Mr. W. B a k er , on the body of John Wood, a labourer, aged 50, who was killed on board the Maria Hardy, a brig from Jamaica, lying in the West India Import Dock. It appeared from the evidence, that on Tuesday afternoon last the deceased was in the after hold, under the half deck, engaged in the delivery of the cargo, when a beam which supported the door of the half deck over the hold gave a ay, and fell with a loud crash, taking with it about half a ton of coffee, ginger, and other merchandise, the whole of which fell upon the unfortunate deceased. Several la bourers immediately went to his assistance, and in about twenty minutes afterwards they succeeded in removing the mass. The deceased was found, sitting on'a cask with his head and shoulders bent down, and a heavy beam, which had crushed him, lying across his neck. The poor fellow exhibited no signs of life, arid he was taken to the guard. house, where he was examined by Mr. Pritchett, a surgeon, who pronounced him to be quite dead. His skull was fractured, and there was an extensive bruise on the neck. The beam whkh supported the flooring of the half-deck and cabin was cracked in Jamaica, end was not capable of supporting the heavy weight-placed on it. Mr. Dixon, the sueerintendent of the dock com pany's police, who attended to watch the proceedings, produced the remains of the beam, and an old fracture was evident. The extra weight of the men sent on board the Maria Hardy to deliver the cargo might have caused the flooring to give way. The jury appeared to be of opinion that sufficient caution had not been used. The Coroner said the jury could not levy a sae, because deodands bad been recently abolished, and unless there was culpable negligence the jury were not empowered to return a verdict of manslaughter. The law of deodands he always thought a good one, and a check upon people not to trifle with human life. There was, however, an other Act recently passed, which would in some measure counterbalance any evils that might arise from the aboli tion of deodands. The executors or administrators of deceased persons killed by accident could maintain an action against the parties guilty of negligence, and re cover damages. The jury then returned a verdict of " Accidental death."

A meeting of the vestry of St. Pancras took 'place on Wednesday, at the Vestry-rooms, Gordon- s quare, at which a long and stormy discussion ensued concerning the recent charges made before a coroner's jury (in the case of Mary Ann Jones, the pauper, who committed suicide) against the authorities of St. Pancras Work house, and as to the general treatment of the poor therein, Mr. Churchwarden Wagstaff was ie the chair, and the foreman of the jury referred to and several ratepayers were present to watch the proceedings. The first business was to levy a rate for the relief of the poor for the ensuing half-year, and an elevenpenny rate having been proposed, and the various estimates read, Mr. Lewis called the attention of the vestry to the recent charges made in the public press a ith reference to the treatment of the poor in their workhouse— ' charges which, if true, reflected not only discredit upon those who had the management of the workhouse, but upon the vestry, and indeed the entire parish. He learned that the board of directors were instituting an investigation into the treatment of the poor in the women's " shed."---(Cries of " There is no shed.") He thought the men's oakum room equally demanded investigation.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") One case would suffice—it was that of John Mackenzie. This poor young man was of weak intellect. He wes a pianoforte maker by tra,le, and had ben occasionally an inmate of the workhouse for the less, three years ; he was out the last time for three or four months, but whenever he re turned to the workhouse, although he had never com • mitted the slightest offence, he was consigned to the oakum room, and made the companion of vagabonds. Mackenale's master and other gentlemen were at that moment present in the vestry-room, and could speak to the excellence of his character. The poor fellow's mind had become so affected by the position in which he was . placed, that he had written to Mr. Elsart, his master, to say that unless removed from the oakum shed he would destroy himself. Was this, lie would ask, proper treat ment in such a case? He (Mr. Lewis) also understood they put the poor in a dirty cellar or black hole. Mr. GOODWIN (a director)—The black hole is as clean as this room. Is is a clean whitewashed kitchen. Mr. DOUGLAS said he would be bound to say that there was some strong reason for Mackenzie being sent to the oakum room. Mr. LEWIS moved a resolution &tiling upon the direc tors to make an inquiry into the case of John Macken zie. Under what circumstances he came into the oakum shed, how long and why he is still detained there. The motion having been seconded, Mr. MANN said he considered the inquiry should be made general, and that an individual case should not be selected. A full and fair explanation to the ratepayers and the public was demanded. The CHAIRMAN said the board of directors were at the present time pursuing an inquiry into the whole manage ment of the house. LLOYD'S SHIPPING. LONDON, SEPT. 18.—Wind N.E., light breeze, and cloudy.

The arrivals of English Wheat for our Market during the present week have been very moderate ; yet the show of samples of that article to .day was tolerably good. The at tendance of buyers being small, the demand was very heavy, and in some instances the quotations were not supported. The sale for foreign Wheat was very dull; yet, as the holders were firm, we can notice no alteration in value. The supply of Barley was small ; yet the demand was in a sluggish state, and the inferior parcels were Is per quartern lower. Superfine season- made Malt was in good request at full prices ; otherwise, the demand was in a" sluggish state. Oats, Beans, and Peas, the supplies of which were small, moved off owly, at late rates. _ _ Of foreign Min. we have received 11,810 barrels. ARRIVALS. Barley. 990 qrs. English • • .... Irish ........

BOROUGH HOP MARKET. An immense quantity of new Hops has reached us this week, priEcipally from Kent and Sus , ex ; hence, as the general quality is very fine, very little difficulty is expe rienced on the part of the dealers in making selections. The demand is in a very inactive state, , and prices rule miserably low. Yearling and &id Hops are a mere drug, and nominal in value. The duty is called 200,0001 New Sussex Pockets, 80s to 90s per cwt; Weald of Kent, 82s to 925; Mid Kent, 96s to 110 s. (Frond the London New Price Current of September 18.) SUGAR.—To-day no further advance took place in the value of Sugar subject to the 14s per cwt ; but the trade are still inclined to increase their stocks, and merchants dis played firmness. In the West India market a good business was transacted. and the rates given were fully equal to those previously current for all kinds; the quantity sold amounted to 600, making the total sales for the week 2,890 hhils and Tres. REFINED —To-dav Refined goods were largely dealt in by the home trade ; brown lumps according to quality brought 62a 6d to 63i 6d, and standard lumps 64s to 64s 6d per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar is held for higher rates, 33s 3d to 33s 6d being r.sked for first quality, but at present there are not many buyers. AIAURITIDS.—There has been an increased desire evinced to operate in all descriptions this week, and by private con tract several parcel, have been disposed of, in all 3,000 bags. The rates paid in some cases are rather above those previously current, and the market has been less freely supplied. FOREIGIII.—This afternoon there was little business trans acted privately in Foreign Sugar, but prices remain much the same as previously. Of China 2,668 bags were offered at auction, and sold at very full rates, low middling white rather soft fetching 50s to 50s 6d, damp 49s 6d to 50s, washed 49s to 50s, low middling yellow rather soft 46s to 46s 6d, damp 455 N 45s 6d, and washed 44s 6d per cwt. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon Bengal Sugar was in excel lent request, and two parcels offered at auction amounting to 1,694 bags were all sold, and brought stiff rates, fine grainy white like Cossiporo fetched 60s to 61s 6d, damp 608, sugar drainage damaged 575, fine sound yellow like Dobah 565, damp 525-to 565, Benares, fine white 545, good 52s 6d to 535, damp 50s 6il to 53s 6d, washed 51s 6d, ordinary soft yellow 43s to 455, good middling stong yellow like Mauritius 475 6(1 to 48s, low riklilling and middling 45s 6d to 46. s 64, damp and washed 44s 6d to 47s 7d per cwt. MOLASSES.—A much better demand has existed for West India, 600 puns having been sold at 23s to 23s 6d for An tigua, 23s for Dominica, 21s for St. Kitts, and at 21s 6d for Tobago. Bally Khal Treacle is fetching 21s to 21s 6d per cwt. Tea.—The market is still in an inactive state; the stock has been increased this week, but holders are unwilling to further reduce their prices, and refrain from offering any at public sale: of both black and green the trade only purchase sufficient for their immediate wants, although the clearances for home consumption continue to be large. COFFEE, —This afternoon Native Ceylon was sold to a fair extent privately at 39s to 40s for low good ordinary and or dinary pale. For Plantation the demand was limited, and 556 bags at auction were all taken in above the value, fine fine ordinary grey at 565, and fine ordinary at 545. COCOA.—West India has been in brisker request, buthar ing a fair supply at market, holders have been compelled to accept previous rates. In Foreign there has been inure busi ness transact( d privately, and at rather higlier k FRUIT.—Of Currants the stock is muciaminishing, none remaining in importers hands; but still the grocers, altbough having scarcely any on hand, do not appear disposed to pur chaste much at the advanced quotation, holding back for the new, which are daily expected. Of New Valentia Raisins two cargoes arrived this week. The whole have been taken off eagerly at 425, the supply being very inadequate to the demand. RICE.—To-day there was little passing privately in Bengal Rice; at auction 321 bags were offered; the sound was taken in at 20s for good bold white, but the damaged told at 13s 6d to I7s 6d per, cwt. Of Rio Tapioca 25 brls were disposed of at 44d per lb for good sound quality. SPICE.—To-day Nutmegs were not much in demand, and 63 pkgs of limed at auction were only in part sold, imported from Madeira sold at 3s 6d, wormy is 4d to is 6d, Batavia, sound 3s, Bombay 3s, Rotterdam 2s 6d, Singapore 2s Ild. Mace met with little attention, and 8 chests at public sale, imported from the Cape of Good Hope, were taken in at 3s 10d to 4s, being above the value. Of Cassia Buds 64 chests were bought in at 638 to' 65s 6d, and 100 bags Malabar Pepper at 3il for heavy. ' SPutrrs.—The ai lye's of Rum have increased this week, and amounted to 750 pkgs of West India, and 49 pkgs of East India. Although the r e are se ll ers o f Leeward Island Rum upon reduced terms, still the demand has been limited, and 2s 3d to 2s 4d are the rates taken for proof strength. Holders of Jamaica are unwilling to lower their prices, but the market has a quiet appearance. Calcutta is little wanted, and prices are lowering. For Demerara the market has a quiet appearance, but 3s 2d to 3s 5d are the rates insisted upon for strong sorts.

SIX WEEKS AFTER MARRlAGE.—Yesterday James Milner was brought before Mr. Elliott, charged with ntly assaulting and threatening the life of Mary, hip wife. The complainant deposed that about six weeks ago, and while carrying on a good business in a beer- shop in Alfred place, Old Kent-road, she unfortu nate l y , an d contrary to the wish of all her friends, married the de • fendant. At the time he had scarcely a shoe to his feet. but he had no sooner become master of the place, than he began to ill-treat herself and her children in th e most brutal manner. On the second day after their marriage• he gave her two black eyes; had frequently since beaten her violently, and threatened her life ; and on that morning had brought a man to the door to carry away all her goods. The complainant spoke to various acts of personal violence by her husband; and was fully corroborated by a respectable witness, when the defendant was convicted in a penalty of 51. for the assault, or one month's im prisonment ; and also ordered to find bail for his good behaviour for two months more. WORSHIP-STREET. FLAGRANT OUTRAGE..— Thomas Byrne, a well-dresseci middle-aged man, was charged before Mr. Broughton with having committed an amgravated assault upon a married woman named Caroline Spitler, residing in Charles -street, Mile-end-road. To elucidate the extraordinary features of the case it is necessary to premise that the prosecutrix attended on Tuesday last at this court, and complained to the magistrate of a long-continued series of ill-usage she had sustained at the hands of her husband, who had beaten her in a most cruel manner on the preceding evening, and ultimately flung her out into the street, where he kicked her about the lower part of her person until she became insensible. The magistrate imme diately ordered a warrant to be issued, and appointed the following Friday for the investigation. The prosecutrix now stated that since she made her application at this court she had lived on the most un happy terms with her husband, who got up at four o'clock that morning, and proc'eeded hastily down stairs, soon after which she again fell asleep. About five o'clock, however, she Was awoke by some one grasping hold of her, and observed the prisoner, who was an en tire stranger to her, lying at her side, whilst her hus band was stretched across the foot of the bed, apparently asleep. She appealed to her husband for protecti 1/, but instead of affording her assistance, he addressed a slang expression to the prisoner, calling him a fool, and urging his immediate escape. Finding that her legal protector was himself a party to the infamous outrage, she instantly ran to the window and implored the as sistance of a constable who happened to be passing, and having admitted him into the house, gave the prisoner into custody. Police -constable it 217 stated that while the last wit ness was relating to him the particulars of the transac tion, the prisoner, who was accompanied by herhusband, came down stairs ; and on asking him if he had been invited there by the latter, he answered in the negative, and said he had been admitted by another man. Witness then asked the husband if he wished to give the prisoner into custody for being found on his premises, to which he replied carelessly that he knew nothing shout the matter, arid had no charge to Dref..r. The wife, howev•r, who appeared excessively shoeked and agitated at the indignity she had suffered, insisted upon pressing she .L ~:. •it'. . 1 I
