MIDNIGHT HUNT IN THE JUNCTION TUNNEL.—OH Tuesday last, soon after midnight, one of the servants of the Midland Company was proceeding up the tunnel, towards the Manchester station, and when he bad got some distance along the dark and dreary cavity, he was alarmed by a loud barking and clattering of hoofs at the upper end of the tunnel. He listened for a moment, and finding that, whatever animals the noise came from were gaining fast upon him, he wisely took to his heels, and darted back towards the point he started from. Having taken his position, out of harm's way, he waited but for a brief space, while the clattering of hoofs and the bark ing were getting nearer and nearer. In another minute, out bolted a jack-ass at the top of his speed, with a dog yelping at his heels. Away they went, up the line t.wards Attercliffe, the ass ever and anon flinging his heels at the dog, and cocking up his head, right and left, to see the whereabouts of his pursuer. The men who were on duty at the station now joined in the pursuit, and at some distance up the line Mr. Neddy was brought /o . liay i .a.n4i duly eapturod.

Suaaa.—To-day the home trade operated with greater freedom in raw Sugar, and exporters also were more desirous to do business. On the part of merchants there is more firmness, and for some sorts better prices were obtained. There was a good demand for West India Muscovado, and the rates paid were rather above those of yesterday. The sales privately amount to 410 hhds &c. Prices closed the same as on Friday last, and the purchases for the week amount to 1,666 hhds and trcs. The market for raw Sugar has a more favourable appearance. RELINED.—Today the market was firm for Refined Goods, and there was a desire to sell Standard Lumps at 53s to 53s 6d, and brown grocery at 52s 6d per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar sells slowly at former rates. MAURITIIIS.—This afternoon Mauritius Sugar was operated in with greater freedom, and privately several parcels were sold. At auction 3,388 bags 32 trcs and 161 casks all found buyers at full rates, and in some cases rather above. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the demand was more active for Bengal Sugar, and 1,945 bags at auction went at 6d per cwt higher. FOREIGN.—To-day a fair amount of business was concluded privately in Foreign Sugar at stiff rates. None was offered at public sale.

SLIGO. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of Saturday.) Evidence was then put in to prove that the usual de mand for a declaration of Mr. Somers' qualification was duly served upon the Hon. Gentleman; after which Mr. Sergeant WRANCRIAM insisted that the demand was not complete, inasmuch as it was not accompanied with a tender of money to defray the expenses of making the declaration. The Committee held the objection to be good. Evidence was adduced to show that the rent-charge in the county of Clare, which Mr. Somers specified in his declaration, was so encumbered with judgments as to re duce the annual returns below 3001. Mr. Sergeant WRANGUAM admitted the encumbrances, but said that Mr. Somers had property in the county of Sligo to satisfy the judgments, which was included in the declaration of qualification. The Committee decided that that declaration was not made in compliance with the Act of Parliament. The Committee then adjourned till Monday. COURT CIRCULAR. SATURDAY.

This association, which holds its meetings at No. 170, Regent-street, has prepared several petitions for presentatioa to the House of Commons, on subjects of considerable importance to the trading interests of this country. One for an alteration of the law relating to the County Courts, is as follows: " The humble petition of the chairman and com mittee of management of The London Association for the Protection of Trade,' by and on behalf of them selves and all other the members of the said association, assembling at No. 170, Regent-street, in the county of Middlesex: " Sheweth,—That the above•named association con sists of between 2,000 and 3,000 merchants, tradesmen, and others, who are associated for the protection of trade and commerce. " Your petitioners beg to represent to your Honour- able House, that admitting great advantages are granted to tradesmen and others by the Act of Parliament passed in the 9th and 10th years of the reign of her present Majesty intituled, An Act for the more easy Recovery of Small Debts,' yet, that the present practice of the County Courts is, in many respects, attended with great inconvenience, as well as unnecessary expense ; and your petitioners hunkly submit, that alterations and amendments may be made in such practice, not only with benefit and advantage to the suitors, but also 'for the more convenient conduct of such proceedings. " That your petitioners humbly submit that great delay and expense would be saved, if every defend ant, on being served with a plaint in one of the said courts, were bound, within eight days, or some other short period, to give the clerk of the said court written notice of his intention to appear and defend the action ; and if, in default of such notice being given, the plaintiff was allowed to sign judgment and have execution forthwith. Your petitioners believe that in a great majority of the cases in the said courts no defence is ever intended by the defendants; but at present, for want of some mode of the plaintiff being able to have judgment by default, the delay, trouble and expense of a formal trial are made, in all cases, necessary. " Thai your petitioners have in many instances expe rienced great disappointment, amounting to a total de privation of the benefits contemplated by the Legislature when the Act was passed, by reason of the present prac tice of the courts, requiring summonses to be taken out in the districts where defendants reside, and not wherein the plaintiffs and their witnesses reside, thereby creating great additional expense to plaintiffs; and, consequently, in many instances, adding to their losses, by reason of non-payment of the claims sued for. " That the fees demanded by the present rules of the court are in many instances excessive, and ought not to be demanded, particularly a portion of the fees now claimed for issuing a second summons against a defend ant who may have removed into another district before service on him of the first summons taken out; also of the fees demanded on searching whether money is paid into court in accordance with judgments obtained, more especially if no such payments have been made. " Your petitioners, therefore, moat humbly suggest that a reduction in such excessive fees ought to be made, and that those which are attended with no bene ficial result to the plaintiffs by reason of the default of defendants, ought to be abolished. " That, in accordance with the present practice of the county courts, creditors who require the aid of the courts, in the recovery of their debts, frequently experience great inconvenience, and loss of both money and time, by reason of such practice, requiring service of a summons on defendant to be made by an officer of the court, to whom, in most cases, defendants are personally un known. And, therefore, your petitioners humbly sub mit, that all summonses or notices requiring service only, should, if desired by suitors, be entrusted to them or their agents for that purpose. " Your petitioners further submit, that a rule of court should be established, authorising judgments to be entered up by the consent in writing of defendants, for securing payment of debts, without compelling the attendance of parties at the courts where summonses are to be heard, on the day appointed for that purpose, and thereby occasioning a great loss of time to both parties, as well as unnecessary expense; the present practice of the courts only permitting judgment to be entered up and the same fees demanded, as in the case of an actual trial. "Your petitioners, therefore, most humbly pray your Honourable House, that the present rules and practice of the county courts may be inquired into and revised. That the present table of fees may be reviewed and where found oppressive abandoned. And that such further amendments of the law applicable to county courts may be made as on such inquiry shall be found necessary and expedient, so as to extend more fully the benefits thereof. " And your petititioners will ever pray, &c." Another petition of the association prays for an alter ation in the practice of the Central Criminal Court. It states That the crowding together for many days of many hundred persons, of all ranks and ages, and of both sexes, at the Old Bailey Courts, while waiting to be summoned as witnesses before the grand and petty juries, is most vexatious, and in the case of young people and females, highly pernicious. That the remuneration allowed to prosecutors and witnesses is also most inadequate ; and your petitioners, many of them, know that a great number of persons who have once been prosecutors, have after wards suffered criminals to go unpunished rather than submit again to the loss, vexation, and waste of time, occasioned by the present system of prosecuting at the Central Criminal Court. " That many of those evils might be mitigated or re medied by trying the prisoners from each metropolitan district, in a separate court, at a separate time ; by abolishing grand juries, except in political offences ; and by a more just and liberal scale of remuneration for expenses and loss of time being allowed to prosecutors and witnesses." A third petition calls for an alteration in the law re lating to the liability of married women living separate from their husbands; and a fourth, on the subject of outlawry laws and writs of execution, prays for such an amendment of " the laws at present in force, as to give creditors a more speedy and effectual pro cess for recovering payments from those debtors, who, after the contracting of their debts, go into fo reign countries, and r ema in beyond the jurisdiction of our courts, leaving property here; aad also so to amend the laws now in force respecting writs of execution, as to enable creditors, under proper securities for the preser vation of the public peace, to levy on a debtor's goods and chattels, notwithstanding that the same may be in a house whereof the outer door is kept locked." ANOINTMENT AND INDURATION OF PLASTER, STONE, CEMENT, AND PASTEBOARD.—A patent has been granted to Mr. William Hutchison, of Barnsbury park, Middlesex, marble merchant, for a foreign method of rendering plaster, pasteboard, porous stone, and other substances, impervious to wet, frost, vermin, or other destructive agencies, and for mashing paper, rags, hemp, ropes, and even hay and straw, and preparing them into substances useful for sheet roofing, pipes, tiles, &c. The plaster, porous stone, mashed hay, &c. are first shaped as may be desired, then perfectly dried, so as to be highly absorbent; then boiled in a mixture of rosin and oil, grease, &0., or pitch and coal tar, for a time, varying according to their thickness or bulk, and then dried again and finished of by polishing, &c., according to the nature and purpose of the article. The absorbent mix ture may be tinged with various mineral or vegetable colours, or the substance be prepared of a black or other dark colour, as with the pitch, &c. Chalk, alabaster, busts, and even soft and porous wood, may be also treated in the same way, but all must be first dried, so as to ring like metal, arid be afterwards boiled in the unguent till it is thoroughly absorbed.—Budder. POLITICAL OFFENDERS.—The notice of motion which has been entered on the books of the House of Commons, by Mr. PearTus O'Connor, is to the effect, that or) Thur.cldy, the 6th of April, he will move the prv:,:entation of an witireis to her Majesty. praying that she wilt be gtaoir,usly 1 , 1e44:4d to extetal ; , ,rtiort to John Frost, Zephania Williams, and William Jones, and " all other political offenders." _ t:.. i. LAW INTELLIGENCE. JUDGES' CHAMBERS, Sergeant's Inn, March 25. (Before Mr. Baron PARKE.) GOUGE( V. ROSS. The defendant, connected with the Heir at Law Society, obtained a summons calling on the plaintiff; his detaining creditor, to show cause why he should not be discharged out of the custody of the Sheriffs of Middle sex, having been taken in execution when he was pri vileged from arrest. It appeared that the defendant was heard in the Insol vent Debtors' Court on Wednesday, and his petition was dismissed. After he had left the court he was arrested by one of the opposing creditors, and he now applied for his discharge, on the plea that ho was returning home from attending the court, and was privileged from being arrested. On the part of the defendant, a clerk from the office of his attorney (Mr. Buchanan) asked his Lordship to make an order for the discharge of the defendant. An affidavit wus put in evidence, made by the defendant, in which he merely set forth his application to the Insol vent Debtors' Court, and that he was arrested outside the court. For the plaintiff, his solicitor (Mr. Ashley) urged that the defendant had applied under the Protection Act, and was therefore a voluntary appFoo.nt. When his petition was dismissed there was an end to his case, and the pro tection, which was only granted to the bearing, was thereby reversed. His LORDSBIP was of opinion that it was an important point. It had been raised for the first time under the Protection Act, and he should consider the matter befot e he gave his decision. The summons was adjourned. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, March2s. (Before Mr. Commissioner FANE.) IN RE COOTES AND HILLARD. These bankrupts came up for last examination. The following is their official description 1—" Egra Jenks Cootes and John Hillard, of Bread-street, Cheapside, of Manchester, of Liverpool, of Leicester, of Nottingham, and of New York, America, merchants." Mr. Reed, who appeared as solicitor to the assignees, prayed an adjournment, in order that he might examine more minutely the extremely voluminous Recounts which had; been prepared—the balance-sheet alone extended over 120 folios. The COMMISSIONER adjourned the case to the 7th of April, fixed the audit for the Ist of May, and the divi dend for the 3d. The following are the main figures of the balance sheet prepared by Mr. G. Butler, accountant, Pancras lane. It commences cm the Ist of September, 1844, and terminates at the date of the fiat, on the 27th of De cember, 1847: _ _ _ lir.-Creditors unsecured, 45,2641. 3s. sd. ; holding security, 27,9931.

ADJOURNMENT SINE DIE-IN THE MATTER OF H. SHELDON. The ComnassioNEß observed that in this case the ac counts had been evidently manufactured for the purpose of deceiving the creditors and the Court, a practice which be regretted to say was of but too common an occurrence in these courts. There were no proper books kept, no assets for the creditors, and he would adjourn the last examination sine die. (Before Mr. Commissioner GoULBURN.) RE A. C. U. ORDISBY. This bankrupt had been a lady of fashion, keeping several extensive establishments at the west end of the town, but latterly had embarked in the business of a butcher at Hackney. _ _ Her debts did not exceed 7501., and it may be remem bered a subdivision court was held, in order to ascertain if she had concealed a quantity of plate, jewels, &c., and whether a roll of papers ostentatiously displayed by her at the Haymarket Theatre to a friend, was Bank of England notes, as declared by her at the time, or flash notes, as she had subsequertly asserted. The Subdivision Court was of opinion that there was not sufficient evidence to commit the bankrupt to New gate, and she now came up from the Queen's Bench prison to pass her last. examination. She denied that she was in the receipt of an annuity from a gentle. man, which was paid at Coutts's Bank, and as it ap peared that the accounts she had produced were the beat she could render, the. Court passed her examina tion, reserving the question of her conduct as a trader till she applied for her certificate. MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 27, 1848. IN- BE YOUNGMAN. This bankrupt had been a wine merchant at Nor wich, and came up to pass his last examination. He had assigned his books to an attorney, who refused to give them up, and filed no balance.sheet. His HONOUR said he should specially report the case to the Vice-Chancellor, and as the Lord Mayor and another eminent merchant were the assignees, he would gave them.every assistance, as he had yet to learn that there was any law by which a trader might assign his books unknown to his creditors, and immediately before his bankruptcy. The bankrupt underwent a very lengthened private examination, after which, Mr. Cooke stated that the bankrupt had made no effort to file any balance-sheet, and the Court adjourned his examination sine die. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Hcreford, March 24. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice CRESS WELL.) Thomas Had, 26, was indicted for burglariously breaking open the dwelling house of Eliza Wint, at Dor stone, and stealing various articles therefrom, on the 12th of January last. Mr. Cooke prosecuted; the prisoner had no counsel. The prosecutrix went to bed about eleven o'clock, leaving her premises secured, and on the following morning the servant found that the house had been en tered by a pane of glass having been taken out of the kitchen window, and the casement opened by that means. Some silver spoons and various other articles had been stolen; some footmarks in the garden were found to cor respond with the prisoner's boots, but far more conclu sive evidence against him was, some portion of the stolen property which was found in his possession at eleven o'clock the next morning, when taken into custody by constable Challenger, and the remainder of it was shown to have been sold by him to a person named Sarah Mason. The prisoner was found Guilty, a previous conviction proved against him, and he was sentenced to be trans ported for ten years. Richard Hackford, 32, was indicted for stealing, at Burgh-hill, on the 18th of February, 1847, one ram sheep, the property of Wm. Bunning. Mr. Skinner conducted the prosecution, and Mr. \Voolrych defended the prisoner, whose ease was in vested with a peculiar degree of interest from the fact of his having made his escape, after committal on this charge, from the county gaol on the sth of March, having been committed on the 22(1 of February. No• thing more was heard of him until the 30th of October last, when he was taken into custody at the iron works near Merthyr, in Wales; and on his way to Hereford he made a most desperate effort to escape from the cus tody of the police-officer, on whom he committed a violent assault, but was eventualiy overpowered, and safely lodged in his old quarters, from whence he came up for trial to-day, upon a bid of indictment, found true against him at the Spring assizes of 1847. The facts of the case, independent of these extraneous circumstances, were short in themselves, although being mostly circumstantial, a number of witnesses were called to prove them. Three sheep were in the prosecutor's field, and on the morning of the 19th February he found that one of the three, which was a one eyed ram, had been stolen, a portion of the skin and entrails being left in the field by the thieves. Some foot-warks were ob served, and on a comparison with the prisoner's boots, they were found to correspond " tolerably well," as the witness expressed . it. The chief evidence, however;against the prisoner, was that of an accomplice, named Jones, who was admitted Queen's evidence. It appeared he was first taken up himself, and remained in prison on the charge for several weeks. The prisoner lodged in his house, and, according to his statement, some mutton, with the heart and lights of a sheep, was found in a bag stained with blood, which Jones said was brought there by Hackford, whom he came down stairs to let in at four o'clock on the morning of the day named in the indict ment. The prisoner said he had killed "one of Mr. Bunning's tups." lie had previously told Jones he meant to have one of them, and asked the approver to accompany him on his criminal expedition. The jury found the prisoner Guilty ; and a previous conviction at the Spring Assizes of 1845 being proved against him, he was sentenced to be transported for ten years. On leaving the dock he exclaimed, "I am inno cent, my Lord." Mr. Skinner made an application on the part of police officer Richard Saddler, who apprehended the prisoner, for some compensation to be made him for his courage in capturing the prisoner. Mr. Justice Cresswell ordered the officer to be sworn, and he deposed, " I apprehended the prisoner on the authority of the Police Gazette. I had been looking out for him a month previously. I took him into custod y. on the Hirvvon mountains, in the neighbourhood of Aberdase, cou f n u ty ,h o t f f G or la a m n organ. lie hour. Some e sis o td me f e oe very people much.

It was a life and death struggle almost. I was ill a long time from the injuries." The Juncn—l will consider of it. The officer must evidently be possessed of more than ordinary courage, as he is but a slim weakly-looking man in comparison with the prisoner. WESTERN CIRCUIT.—Exeter, March 24. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron PLATT.) THE TIVERTON MURDER. This being the day fixed for the trial of the parties charged with the murder of Richard Fisher, a farmer, at Cruwys Morciwr,l, intonse excitement prevailed. I'he (.1 - ,tirt was crowded at an early hour, the bench and grand jury r.! 7, 11 , ?ry being, as is mini on OCCUSiOnS, crewdeu with well-dressed ladies. At nine o'clock Mr. Baron Platt took his seat on the bench. The two prisoners, Ann Fisher and Mary Hodge, were then placed at the bar and indicted ; Ann Fisher for the wilful murder of Richard Fisher, on the 27th of August last, at Cruwys Morchard, by administering a quantity of white arsenic to him in mashmallow tea, of which he languished until the 28th of August, and then died. Mary Hodge was indicted for feloniously making, pro curing, and commanding Ann Fisher to commit the said murder. There were other counts varying the charge. Both the prisoners pleaded not guilty. Ann Fisher is a rather pleasing-looking woman, ap parently about thirty years of uge, and her sister, Mary Hodge, a little older. Both preserved the greatest firm ness and composure during the trial. Mr. Greenwood, Mr. Leigh, and Mr. Kerslake con ducted the prosecution; Mr. Cockburn, Q C., and Mr. Rowe defended the prisoners. Before the jury were sworn, Mr. Cockburn applied that the prisoners might be tried separately, on the ground that the main evidence to be adduced against the principal was a statement which she was alleged to have made, which contained statements which materially in volved the other prisoner, Mary Hodge. Now, in order to. meet the case on the part of Ann Fisher, it was of the greatest importance that Richard Hodge, her hus band, should be called as a witness to disprove it. This could not be done if the prisoners were tried together. This course was adopted in Reg. v. Seeley; which was a case of a charge of murder against two sisters, tried at Taunton. In that case two sisters were jointly in dicted for the murder of their father, and each made a statement accusing the other of the crime. Upon the application of Mr. Sergeant Kinglake, the prisoners were tried separately. Mr. Baron PLATT said that he felt considerable diffi culty in distinguishing this case from the ordinary one of a principal and accessory. In the case of the Sealys both were indicted as principals. He would, however, consult Mr. Justice Wightman. The Learned JUDGE then left the court, and on return ing in a few minutes,:said, With regard to the application that has been made, I entertained considerable doubt.; that doubt is confirmed alter my conference with my brother Judge. I cannot regard this case otherwise than as that of principal and accessory. The indictment charges a principal and an accessorial offence, and the pursuit of justice might be defeated by allowing the two offences to be separated; fortified as I am, therefore, by the opinion of Mr. Justice Wightman, I feel bound to refuse the application. It appeared from the evidence for the prosecution that Mr. Richard Fisher, the deceased, was a farmer, of 71 years of age, and in the month of June last he was mar ried to the prisoner Ann Fisher, whose name at that time was Leigh, she being the widow of a Mr. Leigh, a farmer, who had lived at a lone farm called Stobborn, about eight miles from Tiverton. The prisoner Ann Hodge was her sister, and lived with her husband, Richard Hodge, at a place called Black-dog, about four miles from Stobborn. Fisher was a man of some property, having accumulated some .500/. or 6001. in the service of a Miss Partridge, an old lady living at Witheridge. After the marriage of Fisher he went to live at Stobborn with his wife, the other inmates of the house being William Havekca, Mrs. Fisher's brother, and a boy called Alfred Hodge, Mrs. Fisher's nephew. They lived on at Stubborn about three months, when, on the 26th of August, there was some reaping and harvesting going on at Stobborn, at which a young man, named Thomas Leach, was present. He, it appeared, had been a lover of Mrs. Fisher before her marriage with Fisher, and on this day, as they were coming from the harvest field, some romping took place between him and Ann Fisher, and he kissed her. This made Richard Fisher very angry, and he had words with his wife. He went to bed early, but the others remained carousing until a late hour; Richard Hodge, Mary Hodge, William Hawke*, and some others being there. About one in the morn ing, Hodge, his wife, and the others, with Thomas Leach and Ann Fisher, lett the house in a cart together, and when the old man Fisher awoke in the morning, he found his wife gone. He was very angry, got up, and went away to Witheridge, where he saw Miss Partridge, who owed him some money, and desired her not to pa) it to his wife if she should call for it, but only to him. He came back to Stobborn about nine o'clock in the morning, when his wife was returned. They had more words, but he sought to make it up. About mid day he was unwell, when his wife, at his request, made him some marshmallow tea. He went to bed, add the next morning was a corpse. An itique:t being held, a post mortem examination of the body was made, and a quantity of arsenic was found in the body. The motive supposed to actuate the prisoner in committing the double crime with which she was charged was that she wished to obtain the money of the old man Fisher (he having made a will in her favour, leaving her all his property), and then to marry Thomas Leach. Mr. Hogley, a surgeon, who was called in to see the deceased, stated that on his arrival the prisoner said that " be, Fisher," was " gone," and then detailed, at some length, the mode in which he had been attacked by ill ness, and that he died " very quietly." Johannah Brooks, who had been a prisoner in Exeter gaol with the prisoner, swore that the prisoner Fisher had confessed to her that Leach had bought the arsenic, which she put in the marshmallow tea, and gave to her husband. That souse time after, as he was not dead, she placed a feather bed upon him, and all four of them, the two prisoners, R. Hodge, and Leach, laid upon it until he was dead. On cross examination by Mr. COCKBURN, the witness admitted that she had made five charges of rape against five different men ; and disclosed so many instances of falsehood and depravity, as to render herself completely unworthy of credit. Mr. COCKBURN, whose speech for the prisoners occupied upwards of four hours, called upon the jury to disbelieve the story of the confession sworn to by Brooks, as she was a witness upon whose statement not the slightest reliance could be placed, owing to the infamy of her character and the baseness of her previous conduct. He should prove that she was not a woman who could be believed on her oath. He did not deny that Fisher died from the effects of the poisin; in all probability they would find that the arsenic was taken in mistake. At any rate, there was no evidence to show that Mrs. Fisher admi nistered it. The Learned Counsel proceeded to com ment at very great length upon the evidence, and then stated the case which he had to lay before the jury. Several witnesses were then called, who swore they would not believe Brooks on oath. The Learned . JUDGE went through the evidence with the utmost perspicuity, and the jury, after consulting for about five minutes, returned a verdict of Not Guilty. The trial commenced on Friday morning, and did not terminate till one o'clock on Sunday morning. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. _ • _ _ On Saturday, William Brown and Janes Dewey, who were on the 16th instant charged with having committed forgeries upon the Reading Bank, were brought up for final examination. Mr. Mullens, of the firm of Bush and Mullens, soli citors to the Committee of Bankers for Protection against Felonies and Frauds, attended for the prose cution; and Mr. B. V. Hutchinson appeared for the prisoners. Daniel and John Forrester, having heard that the prisoners were engaged in concocting forgeries upon banking houses, watched them both for some time, and at last apprehended them with some of the evidences of their guilt about them, in a public-house in Poland street, where they attempted to burn the spurious notes, but were prevented by the activity of the ex perienced officers by whom they were taken. The following is a summary of the additional evidence adduced against the prisoners:— Charles J. G. Sparke, engraver, of Heard's court, Wardour-street, said—On Thursday the 17th of Febru ary, the prisoner William Brown called upon me, and was introduced by a neighbour, whom I knew. Brown showed me sonic railway scrip and a Reading 5/. note, and said he wanted an estimate of engraving the scrip and note. I looked at them, and said he should have the estimate in a day or two. I remarked to him that I sup posed it was all right, and he said, " Oh, yes; it is per f-ctly right. I have received the order of a friend of mine in the country to get it done in town." He left me, taking with him some specimens of my engraving. On the 29th he came again, and gave tee orders to engrave two plates of the 5/. note of the Reading Bank, and he left the note I now produce (a genuine one) for a pat tern. The signature was then cut off, as it now appears. The note he showed me on the first occasion had a signature to it. Brown said he was having the signa ture lithographed. He had called on the 25th, returned my specimens, and asked me what would be the price of engraving plates for the patterns of articles he produced. I told him abont 101. for the railway scrip, and about 41. for the Si. note, exclusive of the copper for the plates and the printing, five shillings for each fifty. After I had several interviews with Brown, Mr. Mullens, solicitor to the prosecution, called on me, and I afterwards acted under his directions and those of John Forrester, the officer. On the B t h of March h called, and I gave him an impressi on of an engraved plate "Five," and a specimen of p a p er I had promised, and he wished to have the other plate on the 11th instant, as the party he was acting with was coming from the country, and wished to look at it. He brought upon most of these occasions small sums of money in payment of the work_ I was doing. H e spok e about the numbering, when I recommended single numbers without a frame. He said the paper I had given him was highly approved of. It could not match better, and they bad examined it with several of the notes then in their pos session. He said he had a dispute with them about the "FIVE," they persisting that being capital letters, the F should not bo higher than the other letters. I said I was satisfied I had done it to a hair's breadth. He asked me to produce the original. I did so, and then he said "I was quite right." After enumerating several oCeasions on which Brown had called and seen the progress of the work, the witness proceeded On the 14th of March ho called upon me about seven or eight in the evening. I told him I was much pushed, and hoped to have some money. Re said he had not a farthing from his friend, but if I would let him have the note left for a pattern, they could turn it into money immediately. I said I could not then, as it was at a printer's to have the blue ink mateed ; neither could I think of letting auythin , r go until I wet satis fied. He said if I could get it all ready by two o'clock next day, I should have the money. I promised him he should then have the plates with the impressions, and the original note left for a pattern. He said he would not take the plates, but if I could give five or six impressions to make money of, that would do, and he would return and give me the order for printing the remainder of fCry. lie left me on the un derstanding that everythin be finished by two o 7 cloek iluNt day, when he said he would talk about the making 010'0 :tatep , , for Tl!;Tiltieritig the notes. O ft ib v 15th of Mayen he came to mu about hall.past Livo, and waited till Mrs. Sprake came in with the impressions. I s h owe d t h em to him. Uo said, the imitation was quite .111•14.1.10.. near enough. He was perfectly eitisfied, and . !'said if 1 would give them to him the parties would turn thel, instantly into cash, and I shut have my money in Wu an hour, and there would also be some for himself, which he very much wanted, as he. lad not yet received a far' thing; all the money they by i let him have he had paid , to me. I said he was a peril ct stranger to me. that A had not even heard his name, or where he lived. 0 : said he lived in the City. Itl ten said, well, I supp ose must take your word, and I di 'livered to him six impress' sions and the original note, according to the instrec• tions received from Mr. Bush and Mr. J. Forrester. 11! left me, and I followed him as quickly as possible, be' saw no money or him until he was in custody. al the Mansion-house, on Thursday., the 16th. Ido not know the other prisoner, Dewey. The impressions I gave to Brown ate the same as now are produced by Daniel For' rester." Susan Sparke, R ife of the last witness, said—l know the prisoner Brown. He has been backwards and for' wards with my husband on tb a business of engraving • plate of the 5/. note of the Re ading Bank. I have been present on many occasions o. Brown's calling to gill' orders. On the 15th ii:stant, my husband handed bitoi in my presence, six impression s, and the original 5L note left as a pattern. The proprietor of the Stor and Garter public-hous e, in Poland-street, said—l kno w both prisoners. They used my house for about a w ei k previously to Wedner day, the 15th, when they were. .apprehended by Mr. For' rester. The elder prisoner,. Dewey, usually canoe about eleven o'clock, and seek el himself in the parlour. About four times I observed :Brown come in and 5 11 with Dewey, and they drank: together. They staYee together over a pint or two of l torter until four o'clock in the day. Mr. Charles Simonds, connected with the banking house at Reading, stated that the note left with Mr' Sparke, the engraver, by the prisoner Brow'', to be copied, was a genuine note of the Reading Bank, but the signature had been cut oft The plates were eh' graved without authority. Daniel Forr?ster stated, that upon his going into the public-house where the two prisoners were, Brown at' tempted to throw the notes prc.duced into the fire, sad Dewey endeavoured to prevent him (Forrester) taking them out. The prisoner Dewey repeated the statement made hi him upon the former examinatiov, namely, that a person named Evans had given to him ao umbrella and a cigar case, in which the notes were deposited without bie knowledge, to keep for him until his return from the yard. Brown said nothing, and both prisoners were conr mitted for trial. BOW-STREET. Andrew Green, alias Henry Arnold Green, alias Dr' Green, &c., was placed at the bar before Mr. Henry. fo r final examination, upon the various charges of felonl and misdemeanour which have been preferred against him from time to time during the period he has been under remand at this court. Mr. Humphreys, solicitor, appeared to defend tho prisoner, and advised his client to decline answering any questions, or making any statement before the ow gistrate. The prisoner, who had been remarkably loquacious at every previous examination, now remained taciturn throughout the proceedings ; even refusing to answer his worship's question as to what was his actual nat" —Andrew, or Henry Arnold? Mr. Simonds attended from the Times' office, to prof* that the prisoner brought M. Soyer's advertiseme nt about three weeks ago, and tendered a base sovereign, which he said he had received from M. Soyer, bst would return to him. The advertisement appeared 1 0 due course, on the credit of that gentleman, who afterwards called and explained the circumstances, to whic' publicty has been given in our previous reports. Mr. Waring said the society which he represented had a number of charges to prefer against the prilonert but they did not intend to go into them at present. Mr. Humphreys objected to such a statement, being unaccompanied by proofs, tending as it might to preju* dice his client's case. Mr. HENnv then committed the prisoner for trial, un three separate charges of misdemeanour, and four 0 felony. We were requested to acknowledge the receipt (if r the poor-box) of a legacy of 201., bequeathed by t°' late Andrew Maclew, Esq., of Poulett Lodge, Twickege barn. THAMES. On Saturday Mr. Ballantine handed to our reporter ts• letter, of which the following is a copy, requesting sha it should be made public:— " Carey -street, Lincoln's Inn, March 24. 1848. " Sir,—Under the will of the late Andrew Mac klel4 Esq., of Poulett-lodge, Twickenham, and of the Alban}', London, the executors are prepared to pay to the po or box of the Thames Police-court a legacy of 201.. and if you will sign the enclosed receipt as sitting - together with the annexed order, Messrs. Hoare , Fleet -street, bankers, will pay the 201. to the PAW handing over the receipt and order, and producing thi s letter.--I am, sir, your obedient servant, magistrate, " JOHN MUTTON." On Saturday, George Sharp, a cab driver, George Evans, a notorious thief, Maria Burton, a woman of the town, and a youth named Frederick Hunter, wer e brought before Mr. Ballantine, chaged with stealing a chest of tea, weighing 901b5., the property of Mr. Thomas Christie, tea dealer and grocer, who has two establishments, one in High-street, Whitechapel, and the other in Hereford-place, Commercial-road. It appeared that on the afternoon of Friday week • chest of tea was stolen from a cart belonging to' the prosecutor while on its way from the High' street to Hereford-place. The two houses are only half a mile apart, and although the carman was at the head of his horses all the way, the chest of tea was removed from the cart, in which four others were deposited, in open day, in a public road. Information was immediately given w the police, and on the same night police-sergeant Squire , No. 14 K, stopped a horse and cab driven by the pri soner Sharp, in the Back road, Shadwell. There W&' another man on the box, who jumped off, and made his escape. The officer found a chest nearly full of tes inside the cab, and 151bs. of tea under the foot-board, covered with a horse cloth. On the same night Burton was apprehended. Sharp in defence said he was called off the stand to take up a chest of tea and a man, who told him to d rive to New-street, Whitechapel, and that he was not aware any robbery had been committed. The other prisoners also stoutly declared their innocence. Mr. BALLANTINE discharged Hunter, and committed the other prisoners for trial. WANDSWORTH. On Saturday Mr. PAYNTER, the sitting 31agietrate, requested the reporter to acknowledge the receip t of s communication from the executors of the late A ndrew Macklew, Esq., of Poul e tt Lodge, Twickenham, and of the Albany, to the effect that th e y w ere prepared to Ph in conformity with the directions of the testator, a l e g ac y of 201., to be applied to the g ene r a l p u rposes of the Poor box of this court.
