In obedience to your Lordship's commands, we have taken these papers into consideration, and have the honour to report that we are of opinion that the treaty of 1782 was annulled by the war of 1812; and we are also of opinion that the rights of fishery of the United States must now be considered as defined and re gulated by the Convention of 1818, and, with respect to the general question, "if so what right?" we can only refer to the terms of the convention as explained and elucidated by the observations which will occur in an swering the other specific queries. 2. Except within certain defined limits, to which the query put to us does not apply, we are of opinion that, by the terms of the treaty, American citizens are excluded from the right of fishing within three miles of the c oast of British America; and that the prescribed distance of three miles is to be measured from the head lands or extreme points of land next the sea of the coast, or of the entrance of the bays, and not from the interi or of such bays or inlets of the coast, and , consequent ly, that no right exists on the part of American k c e in f z ie e h ns T enter the bays of Nova Scotia, there to ta , though the fishing being within th e bay g na re y a . t a c s r d w i e sta a n r c e e o th f a o n pi t n h i r oti e m that il° the e from may be at a ttehrua:hhoeraedslaond i of the s used in the tr e aty to express the partofthofe t l h an e d h w ay e a h a a a v d e before mentioned, excluding the interior the inlets of the coast. 4. By the treaty of 1818, it is agreed that American ociftiszt?.nsLsahwoureldnehe,avweitthhienlibceerrttyainodf e tis fin h e ing dlim in ita t i h n e e G om ul - f mon with British subjects, and such treaty does not contain any words negativing the rig ht to navigate the passage of the Gut of Canso, and t herefore it may b e conceded that suc h ri g ht of nav igation avge is not taken away by that conventi on ; but we h now attentively con sidered the co urse of navigation to t he gulf by Cape Breton, and likewise the capacity and situation of the passage of Canso and of the British dominions on either side: and we are of opinion that, independently of treaty, no foreign country anhsaos; thaendrigahtttetnoduinsegortonatvhe navi gate enjoyed b the pa of thecon y vention relating to the liberty of fishery to art b the America ns , we are a l so o f op i n i on g tem e that that convention did not either expressly or by im plication concede any such right of using or navigating the passage in question. We are also of opinion that casting bait to allure fish in the track of any American vessels navigating the passage would constitute a fishing within the negative terms of the convention. 5. With reference t o th e c l a i m o f a right to land on the Magdalen Islands, and to fish from the shores thereof, it must be o b serve d , that b y the treaty , t h e lib ert y o f drying and curing fish (purposes which could only . he accomplish e d b y l an di ng ) i n any par t o f th e u nsettled nays, &c., of the southern part of Newfoundland, and of the coast of Labrador, is specifically provided for; but such privilege is distinctly negatived in any settled bay, &c.; and it must therefore be interred that if the liberty of landing on the shores of the Magdalen Wanda had been intended to be conceded, such an important con cession would have been the subject of express stipula tion, and would necessarily have been accompanied with a description of the inland extent of the shore over which such liberty was to be exercised, and whether in settled or unsettled parts; but neither of these important parti culars are provided for even by implication, and that, among other considerations, leads us to the conclusion that American citizens have no right to land or conduct the fishery from the shores of the Magdalen Islands. The word " shore" does not appear to be used in the convention in any other than the general or ordinary sense of the word, and must be construed with reference to the liberty to bo exercised upon it, and would there fore compromise the land covered with water, as far as could be available for the due enjoyment of the liberty granted. 6. By the convention the liberty of entering the bays and harbours of Nova Scotia for the purpose of purchas ing wood and obtaining water is conceded in general terms, unrestricted by any condition expressed or im plied limiting it to vessels duly provided at the com mencement of the voyage; and we are of opi n ion that no' such condition can be attached to the enjoyment of the liberty. 7. The rights of fishery ceded to the citizens of the United States, and those reserved for the exclusive en joyment of British subjects, depend altogether upon the convention of 1818, the only existing treaty on this subject between the two countries; and the material points rising thereon have been specifically answered in our replies to the preceding queries. We have, &c., (Signed) J. DODSON. THOS. W ILDE. Viscount Palmerston, K. 8., &c. &c. MURDEROUS OUTRAGE.-FIVE PER. SONS SflOT. OLDSWINFORD, SATURDAY.—Yesterday David Davies, landlord of the Seven Stars public-house at Lower Swinford. was committed to Worcester county gaol for trial at the next assizes, on the charge of wilful murder under most extraordinary circumstances. The prisoner combines the trades of a gardener and pnblican, and is a married man, having a son 15 years old, who is also charged as an accessary before the fact. A. few nights ago, a number of railway labourers from the adjacent county, who had been drinking at the prisoner's house, quarrelled, and turned out to fight. On their return to the house they continued to make a great disturbance, and the consequence was that a crowd of persons collected iu front of the inn. At this period Davies came home, and was mach annoyed at the col lection of the crowd ia front of his house, which con sisted for the most part of noisy boys, though there were some men and women among them. He endea voured roughly to disperse them, and struck several with his walking-stick, on which they hooted at him and threw atones. The prisoner immediately rushed into the house in a violent passion, declaring that he " would blow their b heads off," and went up stairs, followed by his son. The nrisoner had two guns, a single and a double-barrel. These he fetched out, and his son got out the powder and shot. The guns were immediately loaded, and the prisoner went to the bed-room window, and leaning out, presented the gun and fired among the crowd in the street, exclaiming , " Here's into you, y ou —," using a foul expression. Immediately afterwards he exclaimed, " I've given 'em a sweet, and I'll give 'em another," and he immediately fired a gun. His son as sisted him to re-load, and altogether four shots were fired, and five people wero wounded—one killed on the spot. The injured parties are — Killed—Mrs. Pardoe, wife of a balker, and mother of six children, one of whom she was looking for when she was fired upon. Wounded—William Woolridge, a miner, wounded in the neck, and not likely to recover; Hannah Fletcher, a bricklayer's wife, shot in the leg s ; James Haywood, also wounded in the legs; and Mrs. Brentall, a middle aged lady, wife of the manager at the establishment of Mr. F. T. Rufford, wounded in the abdomen, thigh, and legs, while aiding Mrs. Pardoe, who had once been a servant in her employ. Mrs. Pardoe, on being raised from the ground was carried into a house, but she appeared to have died in stantaneously. The guns when found in the house were both loaded with powder and shot, ready for use again. The affair has created intense excitement. The magistrate also committed the son for trial, but admitted him to bail.

Mr. Wright, of Guildhall, totally unfitted for carrying on a public i n vestigation, was crowded t o su ff oc ation by peopls anxious to hear the result, and among them were one or The as two of the i localt should h clergy e . mention,on Tuesday last t o allow time to os e e d h d wasfor the h a d e j d o ur drawer of the alleged forged Bill, who was represented to be a clerk at the Nine Elms Station, Vauxhall. This per son, however, wa s no t f or th com i ng , and Mr. Wright, for the prosecutor, ask e d time to, produce officials from that station to prove that there was no such person employed at the railway, nor had been at the time when the bill was drawn. This, it was under stood, would be agreed to, and in the meantime, Mr. Thomas, clerk at the Worcester Old Bank, was examined to prove that the prisoner kept an ac count at that bank from 1849 down to a recent date ; that he had frequently seen him at the bank; that he frequently signed cheques at the counter, Scc. The witness however could not positively swear to his handwriting, but he knew it from having had his cheques frequently pass through his hands for entry in the bank books. The forged bill was then handed to the witness. It was in the following terms : " London, March 1, 1851. " 3001.—Six months after dato pay to the Rev. James Nisbett, or order, the sum of three hundred pounds, for value received. " RICHARD MITCHELL. " To William Robert Nisbett, Fort Nisbett, Burris-a-Bane, Ireland. " Accepted—William Robert Nisbett, payable at Messrs. Scott and Co., bankers, Cavendish -square , London." (Endorsed) " JAMES NISDETT." The witness, on examining the bill, gave his opinion that the name of the drawer, the body of the bill, the name of the acceptor, and the acceptance, were all in the same handwriting, and that the whole was the handwriting of the prisoner. The handwriting of the endorser though larger than the rest, was also of the same character, and the writing of the prisoner. Mr. Winwood, the cashier at the Old Bank, was then sent for, and produced thirty-three cheques which had passed through his hands, drawn by the prisoner. He had seen the prisoner write frequently, and should say that the whole body and signatures of the bill produced had been written by him. The bank had had several bill transactions with the prisoner, and he had no recollection of ever having seen the sig nature of " Richard Mitchell " before. Mr. Wright submitted that this was sufficient evidence to warrant the magistrates in committing the prisoner for trial. The witnesses had given evidence distinctly showing that this was a fictitious bill, signed by fictitious signatures, and in the handwriting of the prisoner, which was as much a forgery as if an indi vidual's signature had been actually counterfeited. Mr. Elgee, for the prisoner, on being c alled upon declined to address the Court for the defence until the case for the prosecution was actually closed. Mr. Sidebottom said that at present he had no evi dence before him that there was no such person as Richard Mitchell, and he therefore thought an ad journment advisable, in order to clear up that point. After some conversation, the evidence of Glossop, inspector of the Birmingham police, was taken, as to the apprehension of the prisoner, and the papers found upon him. Inspector Glossop deposed that from information which he had received he apprehended the prisoner, this day week, at the White Hart, Digbetb, Birming. ham, and took possession of a quantity of papers found in his possession. These papers (which it is said contain some reve lationa of consequence) were, by consent of all parties, now placed in the custody of Inspector Chipp, of the Worcester police, who was instructed to allow the solicitors on both sides to inspect them in his pre sence. Amongst the papers is a very full and elabo rate diary, which it is said will furnish some materials 'or the prosecution. The prisoner stands remanded for a few days. ORANGE PROCESSIONS. On Saturday a number of Orangemen were brought before the magistrates at Liverpool, ch. in charged with having, on Thurday, the 12th of August, " riotously and tumul tuously assembled in various placesthe borough of Li verpool, with firearms," &c., their object being to walk , through tho town in procession. The prisoners names were Daniel Smith, John Jones, Robert Fallowes, James Rowson, John Hough, Edward Tucker, William Wells, Thomas Wells, James Hampton, John Tweed, Henry Herd, Edward Usher, Charles Usher, and Thomas Neville. Mr. Snowball, solicitor, appeared for all the prisoners. From the evi dence it appeared that a placard had been extensively posted throughout the town, announcing that the "Loyal Orangemen" intended to walk in procession on the 12th of August, in commemoration of tho battle of Augh rim. In order to prevent, if possible, this party ex hibition, a proclamation was issued by the Mayor of Liverpool forbidding the procession, and instructions were issued to the police to put down all attempts at forming one by force. The "Loyal Orangemen," bent upon carrying out their design, resolved to set the procla mation of the Mayor at defiance, and on the morning of the 12th they assembled in separate detachments in diffe rent parts of the town,wearing orange scarf., many of them bearing naked swords, and others having pi st ols and bullets in their possession. Superintendent Murphy de posed that on proceeding with a body of police to a house called the Wheatsheaf on the morning of Thursday he saw the gates of the yard attached to the house thrown open, when a party of men, in all about twenty, headed by a band of music, marched into the s tr eet . The grea ter portion of them wore orange scarf s; two had naked swords in their hands; several others had small sticks, with models of the bible and crown on the points. On being stopped by the police the party retreated in side, but soon after appeared in Great Homer-street, in another part of the town, having left the public-house by another entrance. At the same instant a still larger party appeared in Fox-street, but the police promptly interfering prevented the two bodies joining, and twenty-four persons were taken into custody and lodged in Rosehill Bridewell. Soon after, however, the greater part were allowed to go, on promising not to offend again. Chief Superintendent Ryde gave evidence as to the attempted formation of processions in other parts of the town, and all the prisoners were spoken to by various witnesses as having be en . engaged in these attempts. Six or seven were desc ribed as having had in their possession pistols loaded with ball. One of them, named Wells, had a pistol loaded with ball, and capped, a staff with lead at the end , 38 pistol-balls, 30 caps, and a quantity of powder. At the conclusion of the evid e nce Mr. Mansfield, the presiding . magistrate, resolved to commit all the prisoners for trial at the present assizes. Mr. Snowball hoped the Court would make exceptions in the cases of those men who had no arms in their pos session when apprehended. Mr. Mansfield declined to make any exception" whatever. He observed, however, that all the prisoners would be admitted to bail, on entering into their own recognizances of 40s. each, and finding two sureties of 20s. each. DESPERATE AFFRAY WITH THE CITY POLICE.— Yesterday evening the neighbourhood of St. Bartholomew close was thrown into a state of excitement in consequence of a serious collision between several officers of the City police and a gang of ruffians who have for same time infested the purlieus of Cloth-fair. It appears that since the improvements in Clerkenwell have been commenced the inhabitants of Saffron-hill. Peter-street, Field-lane, and their vicinities, have been driven to other localities. In the present instance they have located themselves in a back court in Cloth-fair, adjoining the church of St. Bartholomew the-Great, to the annoyance of the respectable portion of the inhabitants. The offenders, from their number and determination, have hitherto escaped capture. Last night some respectable persons passing were grossly insulted and brutally ill-treated. The policeman on daty found it im possible to render efficient aid, and assistance was speedily forwarded by Mr. Coartenay, the acting inspector at Smith field station. Forcibly entry was now made into the lodg ing-house to take the aggressors into custody : Some were captured, and a general melee took place, in which the police received some injuries, but not of a serious nature, and humanely forebore using their truncheons, although, at one time, they were nearly overpowered by the mob. Ulti mately they secured a person supposed to be the principal ringleader of the rioters, and he was taken to the station which, alth station house in Smithfield ; but there appeared to be such an evident intention to rescue the prisoner, that every neces ,erY precaution was taken, a strong force being obtained, as ac t o r n e c e m ntn t e im l n ; filt hy is 14 we, the time of relieving the day men.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTH WALES ClRCUlT.—Chester, Aug. 16. (Before Mr. Justice CROMPTON.) THE STOCKPORT RIOTS. Previous to sentencing the prisoners the following witnesses were heard in favour of two of them : Mr. Sleddon and Mr. Axon had known the pri soner Gleave for several years, and he had always been a steady, quiet young man. His father had been a manager of a factory for 12 or 14 years. Several testimonials were handed to the Learned Judge in favour of Pell. Mr. WELSBY said he hoped it would be considered that these trials were without prejudice to any pro ceedings that might be taken hereafter, in case the ringleaders should be discovered. His LORDSHIP said it had been his intention to have mentioned that these trials would not at all influence any ulterior steps that might be taken against the other guilty persons. THE SENTENCES. The Learned JUDGE then proceeded to sentence the English prisoners. He said—George Pell, William Buttery, and Mark Gleave, you have been severally convicted, by a most attentive jury, of the crime of riot. The jury has been most particularly careful in watching the cases brought before them on this occasion, that they might be certain not to convict anybody on evid ence that appeare d at a ll d ou b t f u l. I do hope and trust that this investigation has not yet come to a close ; your guilty comrades in this riot must not suppos e th at they have escaped j ust i ce, be cause no doubt further investigations will yet take place. In passing sentence upon you I do not consi der that you have committed an ordinary riot or dis turbance, but a riot the dreadful object of which was to assail the persons and destroy the property, to sack the dwelling-houses and the rich edifices of your fel low-subjects, R oman Catho li cs an d I r i s h men , th e subjects of th e Queen, and under her protection. This outrage w as di rected aga i nst t h em as R oman Catholics and Irishmen. I grieve to see men of your character and position identified with such a mob, but I must treat you as participators in these outrages. For the sake of public justice it is necessary to treat matters of this kind with great severity. For many years in this country we have not had outrages like these immediately directed against that religious liberty which it is the pride of England to possess. You profane the sacred name of Protestantism in endea vouring to prevent other men worshipping God in the way they think best. On the last occasion that outrages like these were committed, men in the same position as you are answered with the i r l i ves f or t h e i r cr i mes , because it wa s th oug h t necessary f or th e p ro t ec tion of all reli gious bodies that outrages upon religious houses and individuals should be punished with death. We live, thank God, under milder laws, and you have not even been indicted under laws which render you liable to transportation. With regard to you, Gleave, ycu were concerned in all the out rages. You were seen not only stirring the fire before Mr. Frith's house, where all the articles from the house and chapel were consumed, but also coming out of the vestry of the chapel, which was broken into. After a short time you were seen breaking into the houses of the Roman Catholics in another part of the town, I am, therefore, sa tisfied that you were a party in the transaction not only at Edgeley Chapel, but in every part of the town where there were disturbances, and the sen tence upon you is that you be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for the space of two years. As to you, George Pell, you were seen demolishing the chapel. It was proved by the individual who testified to your good character that you could have been there but a short time, yet you joined iu the outrage and were seen with one of the pieces of wood, which must have been torn out of one of the chapels, striking at the walls and demolishing the windows. I have had much difficulty in coming to a conclusion respecting you. I hope lam not doing wrong in giving you 18 months' imprisonment and bard labour. You, Georgo:Butt er y, a ll owe d yourself to join in the out rage, and the sen t ence u pon same— that you be i mpr i sone d and kept to hard labour for 18 months. The three pri sone r s wept, you will be the and appeared very much distressed. Prior to the sentences being passed upon the Irish prisoners Mr. Welsby called Mr. Sadler, who said that magistratesthe prisoners uponany had neye o r h been arge. in custody or before the THE SENTENCES UPON THE IRISHMEN. The Learned JUDGE said—Thomas Feeney, Patrick O'Hara, Roger M'Dermott, Michael M'Dermott, Thomas Murphy, Thomas Garvey, and Patrick Naughton, you have all been severally convicted, on evidence that cannot be disputed, of a very serious riot indeed. You armed yourselves with pokers, sickles, and many instruments capable of inflicting great in jury, and proceeded to make a great disturbance, breaking windows, and assaulting people in the streets, but I hope that not all of you were guilty of the brutality which was the crime of one of you. The laws of this country will not tolerate party fights such as we hear of in other parts of the kingdom. Al though you injured the houses of individuals, you did not break into the houses, and therefore I do not think your riot is so dreadful a one as that of the other prisoners just sentenced. At the same time I remem ber what Mr. Sadler said, that you kept within your houses when he said you should be protected. From Mr. Sadler I learn also that he received information of outrage in o ther parts of the town before yours began, but yon assembled t oget h er b e f ore t h e r e were any disturbances. With regard to you, Thomas M urp hy, it is difficult to express the indignation that one feels for the brutality that you and others were guilty of. A harmless, unoffending man coming down the streets of Stockport, having been sent by his mistress for his master, was met by men, probably ten or twelve to one, who surrounded him and ham mered him on the head with brickbats. If that out ragewould had been carried a littl e f urt h er , you, Th omas death. Mtir The phy, , perhaps, h ave h a d t o answer f or hi s sentence of the Court upon you is, that imprisoned and k ep t to b ar d l a b our f or fif teen months. You, F eeney, were seen as a ring leader, brea kin g into h ouses, giving the mob orders, and you your self were throwing stones. The sen • t en ce upon you will be that you be imprisoned and kept t o hard labour for ten cal en d a r mon th s . Y ou , Patrick Naughton, were conv i c t e d o f an assau l t c alendar n b d e a r u pon Pearson , a n d were seen throwing stones at the school.

Your punish ment-.will be, imprisonment with hard labour for four mo nths. You , R o ger M‘Dermott, were not in the riot in St. Pet er 's-square, but you were seen throw ing stones upon Inspector Walker, and you were a f terw ards dragged out of the house, and consideraby hurt. I hop e I shall not be doing wro n g in sentenc ing you to im p risonmeat wi th hard labour for th ree calen d ar m onths. As for Michael M'Dermott, lam so rry to see on e so y o ung in his positi on ; he was seen throwing a stone into Mr. Graham's house. If I thought he was throwin g the s tone at Mrs. Gra. ham I should g ive him g re ate r p unishment ; but I think it was not so, because the stone did not enter the room throug h the windo w w here she was s itting. Th e se ntence upo n y ou is , that you be imprisoned and kept to ha rd labour for two months. prisoners The Englisho 'g a r a t i , h o y r a t o ue y i were then indicted for de • • the Edgeley Chapel and Mr. Frith's molishinghouse. Pell and Buttery were indicted for -y feloniou s l I .e g • - um. ning to demolish a chapel. Th ere were other indict ments against the prisoners for felony i n , uegin ning to demolish the houses and chapels of the Roman Catholics. They all pleaded not guilty, and a verdict of Acquittal was ordered to be taken. THE MUR DER CASE, ARISING OUT OF THE R IOTS. Matthew Mullig an was charged with havin g mur dered Michael M oran on th e 29th of Ju ne last,at Stockport. Mr. Davison were counsel Mr. Welsby and _for the wintyre on behalf of the ' prosecution, and Mr. pri. lliiyveidngwiinth U. H weeks be e Batnford e soner. s at a r i e d eT, Mr. WELSBY stated the cage. James Fianaghan was the first witness called. H O s n to T ek u p e o sd rt a . y, had come over from Ireland about three fore. On the evening of that day June The 2 deceased I w as the and I went to Ryley's, in Rock-row. deceased- We rea c h e d there about seven o'clock. NJ was quiet th en. Ryley was not at home. We remained there about twenty minutes or better, and then went up Lord-street. It would not be far off eight o , o _, then. We saw a mob of about 100 people not in down the street meeting us. They were English. I had not seen any Irish until I made my escape. I saw I was in danger, and I made my escape. Moran was with me. I left him near Barlow's beerhouse, opposite Baxter's shop, at the corner of Lord street and Wellington-road. After making my escap e I returned in three or four minutes, and s aw Moran about a yard or a yard and a half from Baxter' s s h op. He was lying on his face, with a large cut on the right aide of the head. fie spoke to me, and I, w ith the assistance of an Englishman, assisted him back to Ryley's. Was after wards assisted by an Irishm an . Then went for Mr. Sheldon, surgeon, who exami ne d his head. While at Ryley's a mob came there. We had then taken Moran up stairs and laid him on bed. It w ou ld th en be about ten o'clock. The the me i, took all the furniture outside and destroyed it. W e were up stairs when the police came. They told us to come down stairs, and they would see us protected. They went with Moran to look for a doctor. An Englishman assisted me to take Moran along. w e could not find any surgeon's open. When I brought Moran outside there were several hundred Engli s h_ men about the door. The Englishman who was as. sisting me said, "Don't strike him any more, he h as had enough." One of the crowd said, " He' s an Irish.. man," and struck him with a large lump of wood on Tt/ESDAN EVENING, AUGUST 17 1 1852, shop in the Commercial road East, and whe, it ap peared, also holds a licence for the sale of beer, but who has no taproom or other ordinary place for beer to he drunk upon his premises. Holding a beershop licence, however, he was amenable to the police regu lations having reference to such establishments, one of which was, in this district, that all the beershops should be closed at 12 o'clock at night, and not be opened before five o'clock in the morning, and it ap peared that on the 1611 of June the prosecutor was summoned, at the instance of the present defendant, before Mr. Yardley, at the Thames Police-court, to answer a charge of having kept his house open after 12 o'clock at night on the 7th- of June. Upon that occasion the defendant was examined as a witness in support of the charge, and it appeared that he stated that he went into the house at 20 minutes past 12 o'clock on the morning of the Bth of June, and that he saw five persons drinking and smoking in front of the bar. Evidence was afterwards adduced on behalf of the defendant, and in the result the information was dismissed by the magistrate. A summons was then obtained against the defendant, calling upon him to answer the present charge, and he appeared before the magistrate for that purpose ; but owing, as it was stated, to the counsel for the pro secution being prevented from attending to support the charge, no evidence was offered, and the ?resent indictment was subsequently preferred before the grand jury. A great number of witnesses were now examined on behalf of the prosecution, and from their evidence it appeared that upon the night in question several persons had been in the house drinking and smoking, but they all swore positively that the house was cleared before 12 o'clock, and that at the time the policeman went in no person was inside the house. It was admitted, however, that close to the hour of 12 persons answering the description of those spoken to by the defendant were in the house or close to it. Mr. I3ALLXNTINE, in his address to the jury for the defendant, commented, in the first place, upon the absence of any motive on the part of the constable to prefer a false charge of this description, and also upon the improbability that he should have deliberately made such an accusation if there were really no grounds to support it. He then commented upon the character of some of the witnesses who had been exa mined on behalf of the prosecution, and said that it appeared to him the probability was that the de fendant had told the truth of the transaction, and that the utmost that could be alleged against him was that he might have made a slight mistake with regard to he time. _ _ Thomas Johnson, who was formerly a constable belonging to the same division as the defendant, was called as a witness in his behalf, and he deposed that he was on duty upon a beat adjoining that of the de fendant on the night in question, and he joined him soon after twelve o'clock. It was their duty to watch the beershops, and see that they were closed at twelve o'clock, and, in consequence of something the defen dant said to him, he looked at his watch, snd saw that it was twenty minutes past twelve o'clock. After this he saw five men and two women come out of the house of the prosecutor, and the defendant went across and knocked at the door, and in about two minutes the door was opened and he went in. In cross-examination this witness said that since the time in question he had been dismissed from the po lice for being out, contrary to the regulations of the force, during the period when he was off duty on ac count of sickness. James Mclntosh, a sergeant in the prisoner's di vision, proved that on the morning of the Bth of June he made a report to him in reference to the house of the prosecutor. He also said that the defendant had been in the force for two years and a half, and had always behaved very well, and was a very good °facer. Inspector Kendall likewise spoke favourably of the character of the defendant. The RECORDER, summed up ; and The jury, after very little deliberation, returned a verdict of Not Guilty. Mr. DUNCAN applied for the expenses of the prose cution. The RECORDER said he was not satisfied that he ought to allow them. He was anxious to discourage the proceeding of parties going before the grand jury, instead of having a charge investigated by a magistrate. In this case also it appeared that an appointment was made to have the case investigated by a magistrate, but the prosecutor did not think proper to offer any evidence. Mr. DUNCAN assured the court that the reason for this was that he was detained in the Court of Exche quer, and was consequently unable to appear before the magistrate to conduct the prosecution. The RECORDER said he thought this was not a sa tisfactory explanation. It was a very simple case, and might have been inquired into without the assistance of counsel. If such an inquiry had been gone into, he thought it very probable the case would never have come to this court, and at present be should make no order with regard to the expenses. NEW COURT. (Before Mr. RUSSELL GURNEY, Q.C.) John Carthy, 26, labourer, was indicted for the manslaughter of Joseph Dunmore, jun. The charge arose out of a fight, which took place in July, 1849, at Plumstead, when Dunmore received injuries that resulted in his death. The prisoner had acted as second at the fight. The jury found him Guilty, and he was sentenced to one month's imprisonment. James Wilson, 32, victualler, surrendered to take his trial for felony. Mr. Parry defended. It appeared that the prisoner assisted his brother, who keeps the King's Arms, Bishopsgate, and on the 17th of Jun e th e prosecutor, M r. M ar k S an d ers , was there playin g at bagatelle. Prisoner was in the room, as also %Nere two police officers, all joining in the game. One of the constables was in uniform. In the course of the game the prosecutor said to prisoner that all the money he had was a fourpenny - piece. Upon this th ey began larking with each other, and prisoner took from prosecutor's pocket his gold watch and chain, valued at 171. Prosecutor, thinking it was but a joke, merely told the prisoner to take care and not break the chain. Directly after prisoner had taken the watch he went away, lout prosecutor, thinking that he would bring it back, did not either follow him or ask to have it returned until he was leaving the house at night. Prisoner not c oming back, pro secutor gave information to Hall, a constable of the City, and he went to prisoner's lodgings, in Hoxton, the next day, and saw prisoner, who at once admitted that he had pawned the watch and chain, and spent the money, but that prosecutor had told him he might use it for that purpose, as he had once owed him 2101. The prosecutor denied this. Several witnesses having given prisoner a good character, the j ury, after some deli! aeration, Acquitted him. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. CLERKENWEL L. John Knight, aged 45, a pain ter, residing at 2, Brook's-gardens, Bagnigge-wells-lroad, Clerkenwell, was charged with having stabbed Idary Ann Knight. Edward Green said that he watt a lodger in the prisoner's house, 2, Brook's-gar3ens. Yesterday morning, at half-past five o'clock, Ito was awoke out of his sleep by loud screams and c/ies of " Murder !" from the prisoner's wife, which Ind iced him to get up to her assistance. On entering. her apartment he found the prisoner over his wife, kneeling upon her her and ill-treating her in a brutal manner, an d on seeing him (witness) he seized a knife, rushed at him for the purpose of stabbing him, a nd, had he not re treated as fast as possible, he must have been mur dered.

H e was alive when:l left him, but 1 never saw him alive after. He did not speak after he was struck with the wood, but sighed and moaned very much, and also after the first blow. They asked his name at the court-house, but he was not able to tell them. Cross-examined by Mr. M'INTYRE—When I and the Englishman assisted him to Ryley's house he walked all the way. By the JUDGE—The deceased walked when he came out of Ryley's with my assistance and the assistance of an Englishman. After he received the last blow he could not walk at all. John Wood, moulder, living at Stockport, deposed to being knocked down on the evening in question, and to having seen the prisoner with a piker. Martha Warcham—l am the wife of William War eham, living in Wellington street. Was in Lord street on the night in question, between eight o'clock and five minutes past. Upon looking down Lord street from the corner of 'Wellington-street saw a mob of Irishmen coming from St. Peter's-square. On looking up Lord-street saw about fifty lads running and the Irish after them. Saw two young men in conversation against the wall at Barlow's corner. They were John Wood and Isaac Wood. There saw two Irishmen running from Sandy-brow towards Wellington-street. One of them, with a blue slop, had a half brick in his hand and the other had stones on his arm. The man with the slop threw the half brick, and it struck John Wood on the back. I saw Wood run into Baxter's shop. Shortly after I turned round and saw a man in light clothes and J. Wood down together. A man came up with a stick with an iron crook in his hand. He struck the man in the light clothes on the left side of the head. Am quite sure of that. The men then ran down Lawrence street. " Murder" was then called. I went to the man in light clothes, who was between Baxter's and Goodwin's windows. Wood, the man who was un dermost, had got away. The man who had got light clothes on had got a stone in his hand, and when he got the blow with the crook it rolled over Wood's shoulder to the ground. The man who had been struck was then in the act of rising as if to get away, when a young boy came up with a poker and hit the man in light clothes, with both hands, on the right hand side of the head. The man fell to the ground like lead. I turned round to the man who struck, and said, " Thou murdering thief, thou has killed him." That was the prisoner, lam sure of it. Saw him at the inquest and recognised him. The man who was struck was a good-looking young man, he was an Irishman. Cross. examined—When I saw the blow struck I saw Mr. Axon close to where the struggling was going on. The man with the poker went as far as St. Peter's Church. William Wareham, husband of the last witness, who was with her at the time, corroborated her statement. He identified the prisoner as the person who had struck the deceased with the poker. Witness spoke to the prisoner, and said he deserved hanging, and ought to have the poker taken from him. Cross-examined—There was not a blow struck by an Englishman at that time. lam certain those lads did not strike the man. Saw the prisoner in custody about a quarter of an hour or twenty minutes after. Elizabeth Kirkham, who lives in Wellington-street, stated that on the night in question, when in Welling ton-street, she saw John Wood struck by a man over the head with something he had in his hard. John Wood and that man came to the ground together, Wood under. Wood got away; then the other man was getting up, when the prisoner passed witness with a poker in his hand. Should not have seen him, but he touched her elbow in passing. He then struck the man who was getting up with the pokereaver hid head. The man fell down, and witness ran away. John Royle, who lives at the corner of Welling ton-street, deposed to Moran, the deceased, and Wood wrestling together. Both fell, and just before Moran could get up he was struck with a poker on the right side of the head. Wood had then got away among the crowd. Moran fell to the ground from the blow of the poker. The prisoner struck the blow with the poker. Thomas Powell gave evidence similar to the above. George Cadman, one of the police-officers , deposed to having ;apprehended the prisoner on the night in question in Lord-street, at from five to ten minutes past eight o'clock. Apprehended him at the top end, and, as he passed down the street, it was exactly a quarter-past eight by St. Peter's Church. The pri soner ran into a house, and, from what was said by the people about, he apprehended him. The prisoner had a sickle in his hand, and he dropped it. Medical evidence was given to prove that death was caused by fracture of the skull. This closed the case for the prosecution. Mr. M'INTYRE then addressed the jury on behalf of the prisoner. The Learned JUDGE then proceeded to explain to the jury the difference between the crimes of murder and manslaughter; after which he read through the whole of the evidence. The jury then retired, and after an absence of forty minutes returned a verdict of Guilty of man slaughter. The prisoner Mulligan was sentenced to fifteen years' transportation. NORTKERN CIRCUIT. —Liverpool, Aug. 16. (Sittings at Nisi Prins, before Mr. Justice \Vicar max.) GRUNDY V. CAPE. In this case Mr. Atherton, Q.C., and Mr. Segar appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Wilkins for the defendant. This was an action for libel, in which the plaintiff sought compensation in damages for having been termed by the defendant, in a letter to a Mr. Hobson, " a liar and a scoundrel." It appeared that the defendant had a house and garden to dispose of at Manchester, and that Mr. Hobson wished to take it, with the furni ture and plants, at a valuation. As the parties could not agree to take an old valuation by a Mr. Fisher, it was then agreed that eaoh should appoint a valuer, and Mr. Hobson appointed Mr. Grundy, the plaintiff, who is an auctioneer, as his valuer, Mr. Grundy saying that he did not know much about plants, but that he would arrange about that. Subsequently, in a conversation with the defendant, Mr. Grundy was understood to say he was directed not to value the plants. This led to a dispute between Mr. Hobson and Mr. Cape, Mr. Grundy denying that he had said anything of the kind, when the defendant wrote a letter to Mr. Hob son, stating he had no hesitation in saying that Grundy " was a liar and a scoundrel." The plain , tiff, on cross-examination, denied that he had been before likened to "a harp struck by lightning," or to a " blasted lyre." For the defence it was urged that the conduct of the plaintiff had not been straightforward in the matter ; that the defendant was a man of warm tem perament, and called things by their right names ; that he did not, as a certain noble lord was said to have done, when he wished to politely impute false hood to another, say that "he had postponed the interests of truth to the expediency of the moment," but called a wheelbarrow a wheelbarrow, and said of the defendant what he thought of him. The damage, however, was of the moat trivial kind; and, whatever their verdict, the plaintiff would eat his mutton chop after the trial as heartily as he appeared to have eaten his breakfast before it. His Loausurr summed up the evidence to the jury, and The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Da mage3 40s. The Court, in the course of the day, got into the second list, and disposed of a number of unde fended cases. CROWN COURT.—(Before Lord Chief Justice CAMPBELL.) John Morgan, aged 28, and Michael Oldfield, aged 43, were indicted, the first with stealing, and the latter with receiving, knowing it to be stolen, bills and notes to the amount of 751., the property of the Postmaster- General. Mr. Adolphus, Q.C., and Mr. Milward ap peared for the prosc.cation; the prisoners were un defended. It appeared that a person named Hoyle on the 17th of last February, posted a letter at Halifax, contain ing a 501., a 291., and a 51. note, addressed to " Messrs. Glendenning and Wilson, soap-boilers, Liverpool." This letter never arrived at its destina tion, and inquiries were therefore instituted respect ing it. It appeared that Messrs. Glendenning and Wilson resided in tb e district for which the prisoner Morgan was letter , Jarrier. It was also proved in evidence that the prisoner Oldfie ld, a short time after the l e tt er waa missing, wont to a bedding manufac turer, and or tiered a quantity of bedding to be made up in two p arcels, for which he paid a 201. note. This one which had been sent note was identified as the in the min Sing ietier. Alorgan after wards ordered a carrier te, go f.nr'i fetch these parcels from the bedding nainufacturer's ,i n order that th e y mi g h t be sent to Seaforth. , e carrier having got the goods took them to apr ,blie-honse near at hand, where the pri soners werr for him.

It will probably be recollecte d b y some of oilt readers that in April, 1843 , a tal l, gaunt, and treinelyex derman repulsive woman was brought up a t the Mansion-house, More the Lord Mayor (Al Hunaphery), charged, upon strong suspicion, of having of stolen a child, which was believe d to be the child respectable parents. The fact?, o they were then ef elicited were briefly these :—The wom an, who wee the most depraved and filthy habit s, had been seen her, n ging about the metropolis and its suburbs with a chilu about three years of age, which sh e, notwithst addedin t° its apparent repugnance, continued , or preten, suckle. At length, in a state of utter exhaustion en" distress, she applied for admission to the Asylum or Refuge for the Houseless Poor, where she was a t ' tended by a kind-hearted benevolent gentlem an ' Pr. Bowie, the surgeon to the institution, who, during the progress of her cure, was struck with the remark: latter, and so able contrast between the woman and the child, the the evident superiority of form and featur that the great was the dissimilari t y at once concluded there could be no close relation between them, and that she had in all probability stolen the child. Acting under this conviction he, with Mr .Edwards, chairman of the institution, 0h; tained a warrant for the woman's apprehension, enu oa her recovery she was at once taken before the Lord Mayor. On her examination there she said her name was Mary Thompson, and that she wes minded he widow of a Cornish smuggler, who coramenu,e, a small craft called the Mar'y Ann, in wh ic h she alleged the child was born, in the rann,t' of February, 1840, while out at sea. S ue a , made many conflicting statements, but the ° n " she ultimately adhered to was that t he child was hers by a man named Holloway, and born before her Or' riage with Samuel Thompson. The child was take' from her, and on being placed in a handsomely g los s 1:: be S nished room at the Mansion-house seemed to at home with his Lordship's children, and on add,heari°g a piano played appeared familiar with its tones, s approaching the instrument, spread his little finer over the keys and repeated "A. B. C. On being asked what a gold chain that was shown him vves. h readily gave it its proper name, and said it was a waf he guard. He said he had two mothers; his m other il i ' . t country was very kind to him, and loved him, bud the naughty woman whom he called his and mother beat him and begged for money, foug ht : la got drunk. In his childish prattle with the atti Mayoress and other ladies, he spoke of his nice nee frock with rows of buttons ' down the front, thit he had when the woman enticed him from his home w 1,,, offers of plum pudding. He said his pone Was Henry Saumarez Dupuis, and that the woman , '') beat whom he evinced the greatest abhorrence, wo man, eat him n for saying his name was not Samuel ThocoP s his He remembered living at Canterbury, and th at • t t l good mamma had a room like the one he had seen , W, 1 ., a of carpet and a piano in it. In mentioning the cruelty the wretched monster to him, he said he ow fo r burn all his new clothes in the fire, evidentlY r. the purpose of preventing identification. Oa Set ll , day Mr. Ed wards attended Guildhall j ustice-ree!, with a respectably-dressed lad, about 13 or 14 Yea',, of age, with intellectual face and handsome feat.tir.e...! and stated that the lad was the unfortunate crl .. n o ~ Henry Saumarez Dupuis ; that he had been t; or five years with a Mrs. Orton ; and daring' .r , last three years and a half he had been liln.e, with, and educated by a Mr. Williams, i n Sco t t . land, at the expense of a few private individn.47 assisted with the contributions received at the W i l d Dr. Bowie had settled in Melbourne, Australis, and had lately sent over for this boy to join hi m ' 5 90 he was about to start immediately. Alder'? o 9 Humphery regretted that the extraordinary exertions made at the time had failed in discovering the lad's.. parents. He, however, hoped he would be successe ful in his new home, and that he would write and l! him know how he got on. Oa inquiring how raati.l money he had in his pocket to start with, the boy m s a id he bad only Bs., upon which the Alderman orderedano, from the poorbox to be added to his little store,. .:, directed that a further sum of 51. should be rerabitit; to Melbourne for his use, through the ordinary spellc to nel. With regard to the woman, it may be as viss state that on foregoing her claim to the child she ono discharged, and has not been seen since, e acept oi:' the get occasion, when she made a futile attempt to child n agai , into her clutches. _ corn, &c., THE COUNTRY.
