markets for timber—elm timber especially, large quantities of which were grown in those districts. Mr. Dowding, meat salesman, of Newgate-market, was in the habit of receiving from S to 10 tons a week of dead consignments from his son, who resided at Gillingham. It occupied one day and two nights to make the journey to London. Ile had often lost as much as 501. in a day, in consequence of the delays that had fre quently taken place by sending meat, first to Andover, a distance of 28 miles, and then by the Great Western Railway, that being the course they were obliged to adopt. If the railway went through this district, they would, of course, be able to receive the meat quicker and fresher. Csoss-examined by Mr. SLADI—The Great Western Rallway Company had refused to compensate him for the losses he had sus tained by their delay. Mr. Mom - crania then proposed to call Mr. Oliver, butcher, of Southampton, bit The Cnalnman stated that there was no necessity for calling any further traffic evidence. The Committee were quite satisfied upon the point, and were quite sure that no evidence which could be Drought forward by the opposing parties could shake the evidence which had been given. The filets spoken to were incontrovertible by their very nature. MT. Manstrerwrafra then proposed to call the engineering evi dence. Mr. Locke, engineer to the South-Western, was then called.—The lino before the Committee had been laid out by him with a view of affording the best mode of communication between London and Exeter. It was also proposed to carry the line from Exeter west ward to Falmouth. The total length of the line between Exeter and London was 170 miles ; the distance by the existing route was 193 N miles. On that portion of the line between Salisbury and Basing stoke, a distance of 32 miles, there was no gradient steeper than 1 in 180. On the line between Salisbury and Yeovil, a distance of 41 miles, there was no gradient more severe than 1 in 106—that gradient only occurred once. The line between Exeter and Yeovil, whieh was a very difficult country for the construction of a railway, was 47 miles in length. The steepest gradient was 1 in 81, The steepest gradient upon the line between Exeter and Yeovil was lin 78. There was no really substantial difference between the two lines in an engineering point of view. There was no curve upon the line of a less radius than 20 chains. The amount of tunnelling on the line between Exeter and Yeovil was 2,950 yards. On Mr. Brunel's line, between Yeovil and Exeter, the quantity of tunnel ling was 4,565 yards. From Yeovil to Salisbury there were 1,830 yards, and on the line between Salisbury and Basingstoke 1,160 yards. The three lines iorming en integral and competing scheme between London and Exeter affected also the means of communication through districts entirely destitute of railways. The estimate for the Basingstoke and Salisbury line was . ................ £700,000 Salisbury and Yeovil /1 200,000 Yeovil and Exeter .. ....... 1,300,000 Making a total of ............. ..... .................. 2,900,000 There was a surplus of nearly 300,0001. on the line between Exeter and Yeovil, in consequence of one of the branches being thrown out in the house of Commons. The actual estimate would therefore be 2,600,0001., which he considered amply sufficient for the purposes of constructing the line. Cross-examined by Mr. TALBOT—Yeovil was placed upon a branch of almost two miles in length, proceeding from the main line. For a distance of six miles between Sherborne and Yeovil the proposed line would:run parallel tothe existing line of the Wilts and Somerset Rail way. They did not propose to effect any junction with that line. He thought there should be a narrow gauge line between Bridport mad Dorchester, in order to complete the chain of narrow gauge commu nication. He did not think that a line could be constructed north ward of Sherborae with a gradient of 1 in 98, or if it could be, he was sure that it would be attended with very great expense. As there was no probability of the cross-examination being con cluded to-day, the Committee adjourned till eleven to-morrow. Room F. BIRMINGHAM AND oarosal JUNCTION AND BIRMINGHAM EXTENSION. Their Lordships met again at the usual hour this morning, Lord Ripon in the chair ; present, Lords Eldon, Montford, Wynford, and Sondes. Mr. WAKELitro stated, on the meeting of the Committee, that none of the witnesses whom he was about to call had been sworn, and that they could not be sworn in the House at present, 83 a legal discussion was now going on, and would probably last for some time. lie there fore requested their Lordships to hear the witnesses at once, and to leave them to be sworn afterwards. . Their Lordships, after some hesitation, gave their consent to the course —• Mr. Haddon, a brewer, at Leamington, and Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Nelson, merchants and manufacturers at Birmingham and Ban bury, gave evidence in favour of the line, chiefly in corroboration of that of the wftness called yesterday. Mr. I. K. Brunel, the engineer to the line, gave the engineering evidence, which was the same as his evidence before the Committee on Group 33, in the Commons, at an earlier part of the session. It was reported at sufficient length in The Sun at the time, and it is, therefore, unnecessary to repeat it here. He referred to the offer made to the petitioner, Mr. Wyse, to refer to any nobleman or gentleman in the country near his estate, to decide whether or n• the company should buy the whole or any part, or, if so, what part of that gentleman's property, and also to put a price on it. The company were ready to fulfil that offer, and to allow Mr. Wyse to choose the referee. He also made reference to the offers made by the company to the several other petitioners, which he said they were still ready to stick to. Mr. Brunel's evidence was not concluded at five o'clock, at which hour the Committee adjourned till eleven o'clock to-morrow. Room 11. RUGBY AND LEAMINGTON (BLACKBURN, PRESTON, AND SOUTH LANCASHIRE JUNCTION). The Committee met at eleven o'clock, the Earl of Strafford In the chair. . _ Mr. WALLINGTON, a solicitor of Warwick, was heard In opposition to the Leamington portion of the line, on account of its interfering with the Crown Hotel. He maintained that a better line could be made, which would interfere with less valuable property, and save 50,0001., without in any way detracting from the advantage of the line, and Galled upon the Committee to adopt this deviation. Mr. Nichol, a surveyor ofLeamington, corroborated this statement. The witness was cross-examined by Mr. LAING with respect to several inaccuracies in the sections of the deviated line, which, he held, were fatal to it, and that it could not be made. It appeared there was a mistake of 10 feet in the levels, a gradient of 26 chains being marked 1 In 104, instead of 1 in 114. Mr. Duffy, an engineer and surveyor, admitted the mistake, and also that such a mistake would, in many instances, prove fatal to the undertaking. Mr. Olding, an engineer, said, assuming the section correct, that the line was practicable. Mr. Stanley said his rent was 4501. a year, and that the line would not touch the hotel, but would run warm his farm within 20 yards of it. Mr. lirLbYaan contended that the case was simply one of com- Palmation ; and after seine discussion, a clause was agreed to, that the property of Mr. Stanley should not be interfered with with out his consent, and that compensation should be awarded, If injury was done. The preamble of the Bill for the amalgamation was then agr c ed to . 37/LISTOL AND 311172,NLINGH.ANE (GLOU ICS — TEN. AND STONEHOIII32I). This was a Bill to enable the Bristol and Birmingham RaLlWay to lay down the narrow gauge by the side of the broad gauge from Gloucester to Stonehouse, a distance of seven miles. Mr. AUSTIN opposed the Bill, for the Great Western Company, on the ground that an agreement had been entered into by the two com panies which this Bill would interfere with. Ha had no objection to the laying down of the narrow gangs even as far as Bristol, but he held that the narrow gauge ought not to be laid at the side of the bread, but within it. Mr. Sanders, the secretary to the Bristol and Birmingham, gave evidence to show the necessity of the narrow gauge to Stonehouso, and the Committee adjourned until to-morrow. Room 5. ILD. ROTHERHAM BARNSLEY, rtIEI.D, HUDDERSFIELD, AND WA.ZE3 000ZZ. The Committee on this line met at the usual hour, at No. 5 Abingdon-street, the Earl of Radnor in the chair. The cue of the promoters having closed yesterday, the evidence on behalf of the opposition was proceeded with this morning. Mr. Graham, master of the Milton Iron Works, near Sheffield, was examined at great length. The effect of his evidence was to show that a line east and west would give greater accommodation than one north and south. Mr. Rigley, a coal surveyor at Manchester, corroborated the evi dence of the last witness. He did not think that the proposed line would accommodate the coal-fields so well as a line east and west. Messrs. Swanwick and Gee, civil engineers, were each subjected to a long examination on the part of the opponents of the line, to prove the difficulties connected with its construction. The latter gentle man stated that it would cost a great sum of money, and that there were more tunnels on the line in proportion than on any other line With which he was acquainted. The Committee adjourned till to-morrow. HOUSE OF COMMONS.

LAW INTELLIGEN CE. HOUSE OF LORDS, July 23. Their Lordships satin a Committee for Privileges to-day. The Peers in attendance were the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Shaftesbury, Lord Lyndhurst, Lord Campbell, the Earl of Effingham, the Earl of Kinnoul, and Lord Valli of Harrowden. THE PERTH PEERAGE. This case came before their Lordships upon the petition to the Queen of George Drummond, now Duke of Melfort, in France, claiming the title of Earl of Perth, in Scotland, as the heir male general of James, the first Earl of Perth, who was created in the year 1605. The title was limited to him and his heirs male. He had issue an only daughter, Lady Jane Drummond, who was afterwards mar ried to John Earl of Sutherland. On the death of the first Earl, the title descended to his brother, who sat in Parlia ment in the reigns of James the Sixth and Charles the First. The fourth Earl of Perth filled the office of Lord Chancellor of Scotland in the reigns of Charles and James the Second ; he was imprisoned in Stirling Castle after the Revolution, ' but by a warrant of the Lords of the Privy Council in June, 1693, he was released, upon giving security to de part the realm by the 15th of August following, and not to return without the license of their Majesties or the Privy Council. He left Scotland in obedience to this undertaking, and subsequently joined the Court which James the Second held at St. Germains. Shortly afterwards King James issued letters patent by which he purported to create the Earl Duke of Perth and Marquis of Drummond, and those titles were at all times afterwards borne by the Earl and his heirs male of his body until the ex tinction of Lie male issue in 1760. The Earl and his male heirs were received and accepted as Duke of Perth, at the Court of France. James Earl of Perth, styled Duke of Perth, died at St. Germains on the 11th of May, 1716, and in consequence of the attainder of his son, Lord Drum mond, in 1715, the dignity of Earl of Perth, on his decease, became dormant. On the death of John, styled Duke of Perth, the male issue of James, the attainted Lord Drum mond, failed, and it was contended for the claimant that on that occasion the earldom of Perth, vested in John Drummond (his brother), as the heir male general of the grantee. John Drummond, the second son of James third Earl of Perth, and next brother of James, the fourth Earl, was created, in 1685, Viscount Melfort, and, in 1686, Earl of Melfort and Lord Forth. A decree of for faulture was passed against him in the Parliament of Scot land, in July 1695, in consequence of his remaining in France contrary to the provisions of the Act of Parliament in that respect, then recently passed in Scotland; but that for feiture was not to prejudice the Earl's issue by his first wife. Lord Melfort accompanied James the Second to France, and that King, by letters patent, signed by his own hand, purported to create the Earl Duke of Melfort. On the death of King James, Louis XIV. accepted the Earl of Melfort as Duke of the kingdom of France, and under that he and his issue have ever since been Dukes of France. The present claimant succeeded to that title upon the death of his uncle, Charles Edward Drummond Duke De Melfort, who was a priest and prelate of the Roman Catholic Church, and principally resided at Rome, where he died in April, 1840. Mr. Fleming appeared for the claimant, and the Attorney- General and the Lord Advocat e on b e h a lf o f t h e C rown. After the examination of several witnesses, and the putting in in evidence of several documents, among which was the original letter written by King James 11., granting the dignity of Duke of Melfort, the further consideration of the case was adjourned. This being the last seal, the Equity Courts were occupied the whole day with motions, but nothing of interest came before them. SHERIFFS' COURT, July 23. (Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BuRcHELL.) MOUNIA CAVALI.IO. The plaintiff in this action is an hotel-keeper, and the de fendant was described as a vine-grower and wine-merchant at Bordeaux. The demand was for the sum of 8!. 17s. for dinner and wine supplied to defendant and his friends. A waiter was called, who proved that on the sth of June last, a person named Paoli called at plaintiff's and ordered a dinner for defendant, and a party of not more than six. The next day defendant and Paoli went at the appointed time, and afterwards some other gentlemen. Defendant left at half-past nine, but the others remained till twelve. The plain tiff took the head of the table, which was, however, said to be - customary in French hotels where the master was invited. It was, however, argued for the defendant that he was only to supply the wine, and it was not till he charged for the wine that he was charged with the dinners. Mr. Lewis, an attorney, was called, and proved that Paoli said that he was requested to invite him and other gentlemen to dine, and taste defendant's wines, in the hope that they would prove satisfactory, and lead to a purchase. Witness accordingly dined at plaintiff's; he (witness) having named his house in preference to the South American Coffee House, although Mr. Simmons, the proprietor was to be a guest. Defendant gave the orders whilst in the room. The defendant's attorney said, that after this evidence, which took him by surprise, as it was contrary to his ire.' structions, he must let the case go to the jury. The jury gave a verdict for the amount claimed. HOLT V. STOCK. This was an action to recover the sum of 171. 109. on a bill of exchange. The defence was that it had been ob tained from the defendant by fraud. The defendant was tenant to a Mrs. Myers, against whom a bill in Chancery was filed, and in January last a receiver was appointed. The bill was given to Myers on the Ist of March, as it was alleged for rent in anticipation. Notice was subsequently given from the receiver not to pay, and defen dant refused to pay again, and was distrained en in March. The bill was sent to the plaintiff, who is a clerk to Myers' solicitor, and he got it discounted, and it was now contended that there was fraud on the part of Mrs. Myers in getting the bill, and that plaintiff must have been aware of it. The ap pointment of the receiver, and of the distraint by him was not made out, although an order of the court was produced, and the Under-Sheriff; therefore, held that the plea was not made out, and directed a verdict for the plaintiff. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME ClRCUlT.—Maidstone, July 23. (Before Mr. Baron PARKE and a Common Jury.) This was an action brought against the defendant as one of the provisional committee of a projected railway, called the Liverpool and Derby Direct Railway, to re cover the sum of 411. odd for printing the prospectuses and other papers connected with the undertaking. Mr. Sergeant Channell and Mr. Peacock were for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Shoe and Mr. Montague Chambers for the defendant. The evidence in support of the case for the plaintiff was of a very slight character, and principally consisted in the facts that his name appeared on the printed prospectuses as one of the provisional committee, and that upon reference being made to him as to the re spectability of a party who was applying for shares, he wrote the word " good" upon the document sent to him. It appeared that the scheme of the railway in question was projected by an attorney, named Mount; and he ad mitted, on cross-examination, that the defendant had never given any written authority for his name to be placed upon the list of the provisional committee, but that he received that authority from a person whom he supposed acted for the defendant, and who, he admitted, was in Court, although he was nut called as a witness. Ede likewise admitted that the defendant, who, it appears, is a barrister, never attended any meeting, or took the slightest share in any proceeding connected with the company ; and, also, that he was now ac t i ng as an at torney for the plaintiff in the present action. Mr. Sergeant SHEE made an able address to the jury, pointing out the weakness of the case for the plaintiff, and called upon them not to sanction such an attempt as the present to obtain money from the defendant, when he had in no wise rendered himself responsible fur the payment of it. Mr. Baron PARKE briefly summed up, and left it to the jury to say whether, upon the very meagre evidence that had been produced, and taking into consideration the fact that if the defendant had really sanctioned the placing of his name upon the provisional committee, it iN as admitted there was a witness in Court, who might have been called to prove it, they could come to the conclusion that the defendant was responsible for the payment of the claim made upon him by the plaintiff. The jury, after deliberating a few minutes, returned a verdict fur the defendant. Mr. Baron PARKE said he thought this was a proper verdict. Persons ought not to be made liable for such matters, .unless better evidence was offered than in the present case. HOWDEN V. HOLMES. Mr. M. Chambers and Mr. Bramwell were for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Channel! and Mr. Peacock for the defendant. Mr. CIIAMBERS said this was another railway case but he believed the jury would see that the present claim was made under very different circumstances to the one that had just been disposed of. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to state the circumstances under which the action was brought. The plaintiff he described as being a writer to the Signet, in Scotland, who also carried on the profession of a parliamentary agent in London : and he sought to recover from the defendant, as one of the provisional committee of a projected rail way, called the Hull, Birmingham, and Swansea Junc• tion Railway company , the sum of 1364 for services as Ita parliame ntaryappeared the companyagentin connexion with that Company. was projected in the latter that defendant, who was a boiler maker, p end of 184.5, by a solicitor named a E nd lde a rsh er a s w o , n an o d f the defendant, who was a boiler maker, and a person of in fluence in the town of Hull, gave his written consent to act as one of the provisional committee, and he was represented as such in the form prescribed by the Act of Parliament. The panic of last year had the effect upon this scheme which it had upon so many others, and the London committee resolved to wind up the affairs of the company ; and upon examining the accounts, it was found that if every member of this committee paid down the sum of 251., it would raise a sufficient amount to pay off the whole claims upon the company; and the London Committee agreed to contribute their share, but it appaared that the defendant and the other mem bers of the Hull Committee refused to accede to this arrangemet, and Mr. Chambers admitted that in cense cLuence of the refusal of these gentlemen to contribute what was considered there quota towards the liabilities of the defunct company, that the secretary and solicitor were assisting, the plaintiff in his action to compel the defendant to pay the whole amount fcr which he was legally responsible in his capacity as one of the provi sional committee. The various documents were put in to show the posi tion of the defendant in connexion with the company, and evidence was likewise adduced to show that the charges made by the plaintiff were fair and reasonable. Mr. Sergeant CIIANNELL addressed the jury for the defendant, and said that this was an attempt to obtain money from Mr. Holmes, and a number of other gen • Vemen residing at Hull, without —as he had no doubt he should be able to satisfy the jury —the slightest ground for the claim that was made upon them. The specula tion in question, as they had heard, was projected by Mr. Elderton, the attorney, who, thinking it would be advantageous to the scheme that it should have the sup port of persons of influence in the town of Hull, took procaediegs to obtain these signatures to the prospectus that was issued to the public. He in the first place ep. DIRECTORS. THE SUN, LONDON, plied to Mr. Jones, the Mayor of Hull, and asked for his support to the scheme, and in that communication he expressly stated that if the Mayor would allow his name to be placed upon the list of the committee, and would use his influence to induce other responsible persons in the town to do the same, that the whole of the parties should be guaranteed from all liability with regard to the expenses that might be incurred. Mr. CITAIIDERS interposed, and submitted to the Court that such proof as this would not affect the claim of the present plaintiff. Mr. Baron PARSE expressed an opinion that the evi dence suggested by Mr. Sergeant Channels would be perfectly relevant. The question the jury would have to consider was, whether the defendant intended to make himself responsible, or whether he had merely consented that his name should be placed upon the list of the Committee under the guarantee that he should not be called upon for any share of the expenses. Mr. Sergeant CIIANNELL then proceeded to state that it was entirely owing to the representations of Mr. Elderton, and the guarantee given him, that Mr. Jones, and the defendant, and the other gentlemen living at Hull, consented to allow their names to be placed upon the provisional committee, and they never took any share in the subsequent proceedings. Eventually, how ever, a demand was made upon each of them for the sum of 251., which would have amounted altogether to between two and three thousand pounds; and when they inquired how this sum was to be disposed of, and wished to see the accounts, they were not allowed to see them, but were told that after the money was paid they would be in. formed how the accounts stood. They, of course, objected to pay any money under such circumstances, and when the jury had seen the documents he should lay before them, he had very little doubt that they would be of opinion that the defendant was entitled to a verdict. The Learned Counsel then put in the letters he re ferred to, bearing out the statement as to the nature of the original connexions between the parties, and like wise the guarantee with regard to the expenses that was given by Mr. Elderton. It did not appear, however, that the present defendant was aware originally of the existence of a guarantee and it seemed that he signed the prospectus and crave his written consent to a c t as one o f the committee before he was aware of its existence. It was part of the defendant's case also, that the plaintiff was not a regular parliamentary agent, although he had taken upon himself to act in that capacity; and that, therefore, he was not entitled to claim for a number of the items that appeared in his account. Mr. Baron PARKE having summed up, and placed all the material facts clearly before the jury, they returned a verdict for the plaintiff.—Damages, 501. EfARTNOLL V. CURLING. This action was disposed of late on Wednesday night. The plaintiff is the proprietor of a newspaper, pub lished at Greenock, and he sought to recover from the defendant, who was the solicitor to and projector of several lines of railway in Kent, the sum of 691. for ad vertising parliamentary notices connected with those schemes. Mr. Sergeant Channell and Mr. Lush were for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Shee and Mr. Chambers for the defendant. The fact of the insertion of the advertisements was proved, but on behalf of the defendant it was argued that as solicitor to a company he was not liable. In the case of one of the " Companies" there did not appear to be any other person mentioned but the defendant, as so licitor ; but in the others provisional committees were appointed, and their names appeared in the prospectuses. Mr. Baron PARKE, in summing up, said that in the cases where no provisional committee had been ap pointed, and the defendant had taken upon himself to order the insertion of the advertisements,be was clearly liable ; but in the other case, it was for the jury to say, upon the facts, whether they considered the defendant had made himself personally responsible, or whether he was merely acting as the agent of the c , mmittee. The jury found for the plaintiff, damages 331., striking out all that portion of the account incurred by the defen dant as so!icitor where a provisional committee had been appointed. CROWN SlDE.—(Before Mr. Justice COLTMAN.) Thomas Constant, 14, George Gower, 12, Edward Cansdell, 11, and Felix Finn, 11, were indicted for un lawfully placing rivers pieces of wood and iron upon the rails of the Canterbury and Whitstable Railway, and thereby endangering the safety of the passengers travel ling upon the said railway. Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Baldwin prosecuted, and Mr. Mellor appeared for the defendants. From the statement of the Learned Counsel, and the evidence that was adduced, it appeared that, on the evening of the 13th July, a train started from Canter bury to Whitstable at seven o'clock in the evening, and when it had proceeded a short distance, the guard dis • covered that an iron chair had been placed upon one of the rails, the engine passing over it before it could be stopped, but fortunately no injury was effected. The guard then proceeded along the rail, and discovered en iron bar stuck in the ground between the rails, and a number of other chairs were also found at intervals placed upon the rails for a distance of nearly a mile; and, but for the timely discovery of the obstructions by the guard, very serious consequences might have resulted. Evidence was now given to show that all the defendants were seen upon the railway about the time in question, and two of them were proved to have placed the chairs andhe other articles upon the rails. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty against Constant and Finn, and acquitted the others. Julgrnent was respired. Allpress, aged 30, was indicted for the man slaughter of Anne Allpress, his wife. Mr. Horne prosecuted, and Mr. Mellor defended the prisoner. It appeared that the parties resided at Gillingham, and the defendant was very much addicted to drink. On the night of the occurrence in question, she was at a public-house intoxicated, and the prisoner had an alter cation with her; and, according to the testimony of one of the witnesses, he struck her a violent blow on the eye and also kicked her. His statement was, however, con tradicted by other witnesses, and it appeared that the deceased had fallen down some stairs, and the actual cause of death was by no means clearly made out. The jury returned a verdict of not guilty. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—York, July 21. CIVIL SIDE. CRIM. CON.-WOOD V. NICHOLSON. Mr. KNOWLES stated the case for the plaintiff, who was a man of a respectable condition in society, an at torney by profession, but carrying on also a small farm ing business, at or near Leeds. The defendant was his intimate acquaintance for years, and was a brewer in large business in Hunelet-street, in that town. The cause of action, there was good reason to believe, had subsisted for three or four years before the knowledge or the guilt of the parties came to the husband's ears, and it was to be regretted that the plaintiff had been mar ried to his wife 18 years, and had had a large family by her, of whom five children were now alive. It was for haring deprived him of the society and comfort of a wife under such circumstances that the plaintiff endeavoured to obtain at the hands of a jury compensation for his loss through the hypocrisy and treachery of his sup posed friend. • Several witnesses were called to establish the plain tiff's case, the chief of whom was a man named Robin son, a person of equivocal character. He stated that Mrs. Wood was continually running after Nicholson, and he swore to direct acts of criminality. The greater pirt of the evidence is unfit for publication. Mr. BAINES made an able speech for the defendant. Ire observed that nothing could be more clear than that this case had beef' got up by the plaintiff to get rid of his wife, by whom he had had a large property, and who had borne him a large family, and was a careful, indus trious woman, as well as a good wife and mother. The attempt was the more to be reprobated because the par ties had lived for several years in affection and harmony. The Learned Counsel called several of Mr. Wood's servants, a governess, two medical gentlemen, and a col lector of taxes. The servants and governess gave Mrs. Wood an excellent character, and deposed to various acts of ill-treatment on the part of her husband, and im pr. per attempts to procure evidence against her; and one of the medical gentlemen stated, that Mr. Wood had endeavoured to obtaia a certificate of his wife's in sanity. Thy result was a verdict for the defendant. MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—Lincoln, July 21. CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Mr. Justice PATTESON and a common jury.) SNAITH V.

ABDUCTION OF A HUSBAND.—A female oF the name of IVestmoi land, and four respectable-looking farming men, were indicted for conspiring to seize the person of one J. Toiler Westmorla:(.l. The prosecutor, as appeared from the evidence, is a person posessed of some propene, but had fur some time past been separated from his wife, to whom he allowed 1001. a year. The wife, not satisfied with this arrangement, with the other defen dants, seized the prosecutor at his place of residence at Bourn, in this county, put him into a chaise, and carried him away to a lone house near the sea, the property of one of the defendants. He was, however, soon found out and brought back. It was alleged that Mr. West morland was not in the fullest possession of his faculties, and that the proceeding was not dictated by any fr u _ proper motive. The defendants recalled their plea of not guilty, and pleaded emilty to the common assault. five The ye. p:ri s prisoners s e werer. Westmorland bound ov over tot their elro t w h pa r e re c o e g fur .. aances for 5001. each, one of the defendants binding him self in a further sum of 5001. for Mrs. Westmorland. IDAY MORNING, JULY 24, 1846. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. PETTY GAMBLING.—THE MYSTERY OF " CAPPING. William Ives, potboy at the Crown and Sceptre public house, Foley-place, was summoned before Mr. Maltby for an assault on Richard Franklin. The complainant said he was a hairdresser, living at No. 40, Henry-street, Hampstead-road. On Sunday evening last he was at the Crown and Sceptre public hou3e, kept by a person named Crusoe, and there he tossed for some wine with the potboy in the tap-room. Afterwards he tossed for money, and having won he was assaulted by the potboy, who struck him twice on the head. A solicitor, who attended for the defendar t, elicited the following curious particulars in cross-examination : Had been in the habit for a length of time of going about to various public-houses, and tossing with different per sons for money. Had won and lost 201. in a night et this business. On one occasion had won of a Mr. Griffiths 401. Usually tossed fur 5/. at a time, and fre quently 501. were won and lost in an hour at the game. Had never been at Marylebone Court for carrying on this name. Had been at Bow street on account of an assault arising out of a dispute at tossing, but the matter was compromised. Did not live by tossing. Had a business of his own ; but was accustomed to toss for money. Had frequently tossed for sums of money a the Crown and Sceptre. The landlord knew what was going on. Did not propose tossing for wine to the pot boy. While playing, a cab-man who was present said that he cheated. This led to the assault, during which the cab-mats possessed himself of the money. The way in which tossing was carried on was to put down a lo of pieces of money ; the other party then cried head tail, as he might choose. According to the majority o heads or tails on the pieces of coin the crier either won or lost. The cab-man called him a-- thief, krid swore he saw him cheat. Would swear he did not take up one of the pieces by sleight of hand. For the defence a witness was called to prove that the complainant cheated while tossing with the de fendant. _ of 5, Howland- s t reet, said he was a lin tr ' ade, but som e ti mes d rove a cab. plasterernry e m b y p Was at the Crown and Sceptre about half-past nine on Sunday night, and heard Franklin chal lenge the potboy to toss for wine. The potboy at first refused, but afterwards went into the tap room and tossed. The parties then tossed for half-a crown. Witness saw Franklin cheat by a " move" well known to those in the habit of tossing. Told the pot boy of the circumstance, and the potboy said if he thought that was true, he would knock the complainant's -- head off. Did not pick up any money during the scuffle. Solicitor—What did you see the complainant do u he was tossing? Witness—Seed him do the half-crown capping dodge beautiful. Solicitor—Show the magistrate how capping is done. Witness—Send us a lot of silver, and I'll show his worship. Solicitor—Oh! no thank you.—(Laughter.) Witness here gave a verbal explanation of the cheat. It appeared to be as fatal to the humble gamester as the famous sauter la coupe was to the gambler in high life. Mr. MALTBY said, he had heard quite enough to satisfy him of the real character of the case, and he should therefore dismiss the complaint. INQUEST ON THE LATE MR. WAKEFIELD, QUEEN'S COUNSEL. Yesterday forenoon, at ten o'clock, Mr. T. Wakley, M.P., held an inquest at the Royal Standard, Sale-street, Edge ware-road, on the body of Mr. Daniel Wakefield, the Queen's Counsel, who expired suddenly on Sunday last. Mary Brine!, housemaid to deceased, said that Mr. Wake field was a barrister-at-law, and resided at No. 5, Cambridge terrace, Hyde-park. His age was 69. He expired at one o'clock in the afternoon of Sunday last, the 19th instant, in the presence of witress, Mr. Pearson, and Miss Clarke, his adopted daughter, both of whom resided in the house. She first noticed his illness on the Sunday morning, at a quarter past nine o'clock, having proceeded to his room in consequence of a remark from Miss Clarke that her master must be ill, or he would have come down to his breakfast at his usual time, nine o'clock. Having knocked at the door without receiving any answer, she entered the room, and found the deceased in his bath in a sitting posture and quite insensible. By the ConoNEß—Mr Wakefield had been accustomed to use a cold shower-bath every morning for many years past. Witness having run down stairs, sent for Mr. Howlett, a surgeon, residing close by. He was quickly in attendance, and immediately applied various remedies. Dr. Chowne was shortly afterwards in attendance. Both gentlemen re mained with deceased almost up to the last moment, but although Mr. Wakefield breathed very heavily, he never spoke after being discovered, and died at the hour above mentioned. In answer to further questions, the witness stated that she had lived with deceased upwards of seventeen years; that to her knowledge he had never made any at tempt on his life, and that up to the last three weeks he had apparently enjoyed good health. He then complained of pain in the side, and Dr. Chowne, at the request of Mis s Clarke, visited hi m ; b ut h e declined the Doctor's advice, and insisted upon doctoring himself. Mr. Henry D. Pearson, a young gentleman, aged seven teen, deposed that he had resided with Mr. Wakefield since he was four years of age. He saw him on Saturday evening, when he returned home at his usual hour in good health, though apparently drowsy. Heard him complain of illness about three weeks since, but he declined receiving any ad vice from a medical gentleman called in without his know ledge. Mr. WAKLEY—Can you assign any reason for his adopting such a course ? Witness—He never liked doctors. Mr. WAKLEY-I suppose he was like doctors themselves. They never like lawyers.—(Laughter.) Mr. Henry Howlett, surgeon, of Cambridge-terrace, said he was called to see deceased on Sunday morning, about half past nine o'clock. On entering his bedroom he found him sitting hi a bath, as described by the first witness. He got him out, and placed him on the bed, and then found he had been attacked by a fit of apoplexy. He opened a large vein, and with difficulty took away ten ounces of blood. This caused deceased to rally for a short time, but he again re lapsed. Ice was applied to his head, and other necessary remedies were resorted to, but without effect. He was of opinion that deceased had died from the effect of apoplexy. The CORONER and jury expressed themselves satisfied, and a verdict of "Died from natural causes" was recorded. Mr. WAKLEY inquired if the deceased's life was insured? and a gentleman who was in attendance on the part of the family replied, that it had been insured by other parties, but never by himself. [Mr. Wakefield was called to the bar in 1807, by the Ho nourable Society , of Lincoln's Inn, of which be was a bendier ; and although since that period lie has had considerable prac tice, it is to be regretted that he has died in very embar rassed circumstances; a result which may be wholly ascribed to his benevolent disposition. He has on many occasions been known to refuse money and return fees for holding briefs, on ascertaining that his clients were in distress. He was the son of the eminent Mrs. Pri sc ill a W akef i eld, the original promoter of savings banks, a lady who, it may be added, was cousin to the lamented Mrs. Fry.—ED.

MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE NEAR WALTON.— THREE LIVES LOST.—On Saturday, as a pilot cutter, named the Charlotte, belonging to Wirenoe, near Colchester, was returning from Harwich regatta to that port, with Lord Rib blesdale, and another nobleman on board, the following me lancholy accident happened :--The day was rather boisterous and on the craft nearing Eastness, a chart distance from Walton, the owner, Mr. Harvey, was about winding the rope round the tiller-head to secure it, when it is auppee e .a it slipped over; and by the sudden lurch he was thrown ova.. board. The vessel was instantly brought round, and every effort made to save him, but to no purpose, for he shortly went down. A son of the unfortunate man, a l ad not more than 13 years of age, was on board, and being th e only person that could take charge of the cutter, it w as placed in much danger in consequence of his excited state anti youth. The crew of a smack perceiving their condition, bore down upon them, and safely brought the cutter in. The body of the unfortunate owner was washed on the bea c h in the course of the day.—At about the same time as the above lamentable occurrence took place another more dia tressing accident occurred in the Swinn, a few miles distant, A boat belonging to the Good Agreement, of Colchester, was being towed by a foreign vessel to take out a pilot, when it upset, and the two men that were in it, with the boat, were last. Tsi FISTULA INFIRMARY.—The third festival of the auxiliary society of this institution was bald on Wednesday at the Highbury Barn Tavern, Mr. H. F. Richardson in the chair, in the absence of Alderman Copeland, who was pre vented from attending by the illness of one of his family. About 21)0 persons sat down to a good and substantial dinner at four o'clock. The usual loyal toasts being given, the Chairman, in proposing the toast of the even i ng , gave a brief sketch of the obje.ds and operations of the so ciet y .

Lions. Mr. W. 11. Martin returned thanks Por his health, which was proposed as that of one who had been a patient and the chairman of the last festival. A number of toasts in connexion e ith the founder, patrons, friends, officers, and visitors of the society having been prop iced and responded to in speeches of feeling and ability by Mr. Salmon, Mr. Jet.- dan, the Rev. G. Taylor, &c., the company separate at eight o'clock. The subscriptions amounted to 171. !Ss. 6d., of which 51. was from Alderman Copeland. It appeared from the report that 543 patients were admitted in 1845, of whom 259 were discharged, 146 materially relieved, 6 considered as incurable, 40 discharged for irregularity of attendance, and 92 were szill on the hooks, the total number admitted since the foundation in liii36 being 8,283.
