Judge ORE thought that at present the evidence ought not to be excluded. It might not be found rele vant by and by. At present there were not sufficient materials to satisfy him that it was not so. Suppose it should appear that the sheriff had asked what religion certain parties were of, and had then left them off? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL contended the sheriff was bound to select the panel, and unless it could be shown it was done with a corrupt view it was unobjectionable. Mr. Slevin then ccntinued his evidence. There were upon the panel about 24 or 25 Catholics. The witness was next asked whether he bad examined the jurors' book. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL objected. They must pro duce the jury book. Mr. HOLUES—My Lord, we asked for the book, but it was refused. lam really surprised at this technical objection. _ _ 1848. v**,, • .11. 14,2,1„y 97, No. 17,369.] gt.

The plaintiff alleged that the defendants did not continue him in their employ as agreed, and that he was not paid any part of the 30/, and the jury found a verdict for him for the amount stated. Mr. Sergeant BYLES now applied, by leave of the Learned Judge, for a rule to show cause why the verdict upon the special count should not be entered for the defendants. It appeared that the defendants refused to send the plaintiff upon journeys, and the entire question in the case turned upon the contract as set out in the declaration, whether it was incumbent upon the employers of the plaintiff to send him on journeys, or whether it was enough to pay him th e 20s. a day i n the event of his being sent. They paid his salary and the keep of his horse, but they refused to pay him tile expenses incurred in travelling on journeys on which they 6itl not send.

(To the Attorney-General) —Did not compare the book atter the Recorder had signed it. Mr. HOLMES said that it was settled law that copies of public records being proved as such should he received as evidence, because records of that nature might be in any distant part of the country at any assizes. ' The Court held that as the book then produced was a copy of a list taken before the Recorder had signed the jurors' book, it could not be received in evidence. Mr. HOLMES said there could not be a doubt the book was a true copy, and though not to be pressed as a matter of law, be would put it to the Attorney-General whether he would, as a matter of justice, press its ex clusion? The public would not be satisfied at such a proceeding. Mr. HENN deprecated personal references to the Attorney-General. All his brethren concurred with him.

Newton and Company, the well-known advertising agents, to recover the sum of 4,2801. from the defendant, Mr. William Doe Belcher, formerly Mayor of Abringdon, who had taken an active part i❑ the management of the Direct Oxford and Salisbury Railway, one of those unfortunate projects which the " panic" extinguished. The jury found that the defendant was not liable for the full amount, but that he was for the sum of 8771., and they gave a verdict for that sum on the direction of the Learned Judge. The plaintiffs being dissatisfied with this amount moved for a new trial, or that the verdict should be increased by consent, Mr. CROWDER to-day was heard at great length in sup port of the rule. He said the plaintiffs had paid out of their own pockets between 2,0001. and 3,0001. for the insertion of the advertisements of the company in the morning and even ing papers. So active a part had Mr. Belcher taken i❑ the line, that the line was altered to pass through Abingdon to meet his wishes; and in a voluminous correspondence that took place, he never denied his liability, nor asserted that he was not amenable for the entire amount. Nay, more, he was appointed a member of a committee to make ar. rangements for the settlement of the debts of the company, which amounted to about 16,0001., in which the defendant took an active part, and he was also one of the guarantees in getting some 3,000/. or 4,0001. from the bankers of the company. There could not be a stronger case of direct liability—and the plaintiffs having taken the orders on the responsibility of the defendant and others with whom he acted, he con sidered that they would be most unjustly used if they were to lose some 1,5001. or 2,000/. It was held that the defendant was only liable from a given time, and not for advertisements inserted before that period. A general order of "Go on inserting " was given a few days before he joined the company, and the ad vertisements were then continued from day to day; but when he joined the company it was only formed, and he was clearly liable for the former as well as the subsequent expenses. Mr. CROWDER, in conclusion, laid great stress on the fact that the Learned Judge at the trial (Mr. Justice Erle) told the jury that, if they found the defendant liable from the 15th of October, their verdict would be for the sum for which it was given, and that the jury ought to have been left to name the amount. NEWTON V. LIDYEAR.. In this case the same principle was involved. Both causes having been argued at length by Mr. Crowder and Mr. Montague Chambers on the one side, and by Mr. Bramwell on the other, The COURT deferred its decision. BAIL COURT, May 26. Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN sat for a short time this morn ing and disposed of a few motions, none of which possessed any feature of public interest. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, May 26. (Sittings in Banco.) At the sittings of the Court this morning, a female ap peared on the floor of the court and handed up some papers to their Lordships. The CHIEF BARON. after examining the papers, said, ad dressing himself to the bar, that the applicant complained that a gentleman of the bar, having certified in a case that there was a good cause of action, had since declined to go on with the suit, which was one in forma pauperis. The appli cant, therefore, now petitioned the Court, praying that they would assign to her a counsel to conduct the cause in the place of the gentleman who had refused to act. He was not aware that the Court had any power to interfere on behalf of the applicant, but, addressing himself to the head of the profession, he could hardly think that there would be any objection to some gentleman taking upon himself the duty of examining whether there was any ground of action, and if there was, to his going on with the suit in the place of the gentleman who had declined. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, very possibly the gentle man who had refused to act would, upon reconsideration, retract his refusal, as it appeared to him that he had entered into an honourable engagement to proceed with the suit. The CHIEF BARON—lie may, perhaps, on further consi deration, be of a different opinion, and think there is no ground of action. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—Forgive me for saying, my Lord, that these certificates are frequently too lightly given, at the chambers, stage of and that gentlemen should think of the consequences of their acts. r. demurrer, sroa A and when it h c e am c e as b e ef h o a re s a n r i r e ive a d t i recommended the applicant to come here and petition the Court. - - - The ArroaNET-GENERAL—WiII your Lordships permit me to make an inquiry into the matter?

GRATITUDE.—A miserable looking young man was charged with stealing a 201. note belonging to Mr. Thomas Elley, 3, Victoria-street, Farringdon-street. Constable 152 F was on duty in Bedfordbury at an early hour in the morning, when Mr. Elley informed him he had been robbed by a female. He was drunk, and became very abusive to the officer, who returned to his duty. Shortly after the policeman observed the prisoner examining papers in a p oc k e t-b oo k b y t h e li g h t of the lamp, and on inspecting them found a 201. note, after wards identified as the one lost by Mr. Elley. Mr. JARDINE having heard the prisoner repeat the story told at the station ordered him to be discharged. Mr. Elley immediately repeated his abuse to the officer for presuming to say that he had been in the company of a female, and that he was drunk; but he seemed nothing loth to have the note restored to him. W ORS H I P-S TREE T. DESPERATE ENCOUNTER WITH A BURGLAR.—John Kelly was charged with having been concerned with another man, Hot in custody, in breaking into the house of Mr. Vaughan, a copper-plate printer, Gloucester place, Hackney-road. The prosecutor, whose right arm was suspended in a sling, and the side of his head covered with adhesive plaster, stated that he left home with his wife after properly securing the premises, upon the preceding afternoon, and on his return at ten o'clock was about to open the door with a key, when it was suddenly thrown open from the inside, and the prisoner and another man rushed out and attempted to escape. He seized the prisoner by the collar and held him fast, when his companion suddenly turned upon bim, and, drawing a heavy weapon from his pocket, dealt him a terrible blow upon the head, which partially stunned him. Before he could recover his assailant stabbed him with a sharp instrument, the first of which cut through the breast of his coat, and in warding off the others with his arms he received several severe gashes in his hand. During the con flict, however, he resolutely maintained his hold of the prisoner, and his cries of " Murd er " an d " P o li ce " at length attracted the notice of several of his neighbours, at whose appearance his assailant darted off and eluded their pursuit. After handing the prisoner over to a policeman he examined his apartments, and discovered that, though the place had been thoroughly ransacked, and several articles packed up ready fur removal, his opportune arrival had frustrated the intentions of the thieves. In answer to the charge, the prisoner said that he was passing the door ashen he saw two men rush from the house and pass the prosecutor, who instantly turned round, and seizing him by the collar, charged him with being one of them, and ultimately gave him into custody. Mr. ARNOLD, however, considered that the prisoner's identification had been too conclusively proved to admit of any doubt, and ordered him to be remanded for the formal completion of the case. THAMES. A COWARDLY CREW.—Mr. B. Hurley, master of the Arab, appeared to answer a summons for refusing to pay 21. 7s. wages, claimed by Henry Yould, one of his crew. There were five other summonses. The claim was re sisted on the ground that the crew had abandoned the vessel when it was in a state of imminent danger, leaving the captain alone to get it out of its difficulties. Yould stated that finding the vessel near some rocks, which were supposed to be the Gasgets, the captain ordered them to lower the boat and go into it for safety, saying ho would stay by the vessel to see the end of it, and they might afterwards pick him up if they could. Some short time after the captain called out to them to approach the vessel, and threw them out a line. After that he called the mate and some others to get on board, which they effected with considerable difficulty. When the voyage was finished, he asked the captain for his wages, but the latter refused to let him have them. The captain having stated that he had no part in the ownership, nor any interest in the withholding the wages, was then sworn, and gave quite a different version of the story. He said that, perceiving the danger to be immi nent, and wishing to provide for every contingency, he ordered the boat to be hung over the rail ; instead of doing so, however, they lowered the boat down, and the whole crew entered it, taking the boy with them; one man ran away from the helm, leaving the vessel without any director, and he (the captain) had instantly to seize it. Whilst he was at the helm they put off and rowed away as fast as they could. In some time after, witness saw, by the bearing of the lights, that the vessel was out of danger, and that it required only a little assist ance to insure its safety. Witness then called to the crew to come on board, and when he found they hesi tated, he could not help calling them a parcel of cowards. The mate and some others came on board, and he took the former below to show him by the chart that the danger had been passed. The others afterwards came on board, but with a great deal of hesitation. Mr. BALLiNTINE thought the master's statement was the most probable. The summons was dismissed, and the others which depended on the same evidence were abandoned. BANK OF ENGLAND. (From last night's Gazette.)

Best, Esq. A good number of witnesses were examined on the inquest, the chief of which were Mr. and Mrs. Cole, in whose cottage the violence upon the person of the deceased was committed by Bull. Mrs. Cole deposed that, a few evenings before the deceased's death, Barnes carne to her husband's cottage, on bis way from work, and brought with him a hedge stake, which, it appears, he had taken out of a hedge on Mr. Bull's farm. Deceased sat down in Cole's cottage for a few minutes, at the expiration of which he was followed by Mr. Bull, who charged him with having taken the stake out of his hedge. Before a reply could be made to the charge, it was followed up by Bull seizing the stake and striking Barnes repeatedly with it across the arms, legs, and body. He then left, taking the hedge stake with him. John Cole, husband to Mrs. Cole, an old man almost blind, corroborated his wife's testimony, and added that the deceased was 50 years old, and affected in his intellect.

MURDER.—A murder was committed at Liverpool yesterday. It occurred in Simpson -street. Several butchers were drinking in a public-house, when a quarrel arose between one of them, named Unsworth and another (whose name our reporter could 'lot learn). Another butcher, n ame d Cl arke, attempted to interfere, . and while thus hum ane l y engaged, he was stabbed in the abdomen by Unsworth with a large knife. Assistance was immediately procured, and he was taken to the hos pital, but the wound was of so dreadful a nature that he only survived a few moments.

A return has just been made to an order of the Rouse of Commons of the railway companies who have mad e application to the Commissioners of Railways "for an ex tension of the periods limited by their Acts for the pur chase of lands or the completion of works. specifying in each cas e t h e per i od for which such extension is decreed, and the works or lands to which it is proposed to apply, including the length of the lino and the estimated cost of the works, and also stating whether such application has or has not been entertained by the Commissioners, from which we make the following abstract, believing that it may prove interesting to our readers who are connected with railway property.

In the meantime, the time allowed for the purchase of land being about to expire, the Airdrie Company applied to the Railway Commissioners for an extension of time, to which they received an answer, "that, unless the two companies consent to join in the application, the Com missioners could not entertain it."

" There is a certain book called the Jurors' Book, which contains the names of all the citizens of Dublin qualified to servo as common jurors.

The interior of the court was full of bustle, and in deed, confusion from an early hour, and every available seat on the floor of the court was filled with gentlemen of the bar. The following gentlemen attended for the Crown;—The Attorney-General, Messrs. Henn, White side, Baldwin, Smyly, Q.C., and Mr. Perrin. On the part of the prisoner —Sir Colman O'Loghlen, Messrs. Holmes and Pigott. Their Lordships, Baron Lefroy and Mr Justice Moore, appeared upon the bench at half•past 10 A.M., and the panel was then called. Sir COLMAN O'Loonizx having ascertained that the Sheriff had signed the panel, challenged the array for partiality and unfairness. The challenge was read by Sir Colman, and alleged that the array had been made contrary to the usual practice in that court; that certain names whom it was supposed would be unfavourable to the prisoner were put on the panel, and others supposed to be favourable were omitted ; and alleging other unfair arrangements. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL asked a few moments to consider the challenge, which being allowed, all the Counsel for the Crown retired, and after some time again entered, when the Attorney- General said that he joined, as the panel was perfectly fair, equal, and im partial. Mr. HOLMES repeated a motion ho made yesterday, as evidence must be had, he desired to produce a witness— the brother of the Attorney-General. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL opposed tho reception of the affidavit offered by Mr. Holmes. Mr. Hor,mEs said it must be the desire of the Crown to prove the panel not only chaste, but above suspi cion. They had served a subpoena on Mr. Monahan, who it appeared had proceeded to Galway to attend a fair, and he had left town most unexpectedly. They had used all the diligence they could, and it would be most fatal to them to proceed in his ab sence. There was a suggestion that he left to avoid giving evidence. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL read a letter from surgeon Monahan, brother of the absent gentleman, who nega tived the suggestion of leaving town to avoid being served with any summons. He contended that they ought rot to get any further time, because if they had given notice to the Crown Solicitor on Tuesday, the day the trial was fixed, it would ;have been possible to have Mr. Monahan present that day. Mr. HOLMES said it was not for him to observe on the refusal of the Attorney-General to consent to postpone ment, but really it was very hard. Baron LEFROY—The application now made to us must be dealt with as any other case. It was an application quite ordinary—the question being, had the prisoner made a case? Many thought that the application was founded on grounds sufficient; but the Court, even in capital cases, required something more. The Court required that due diligence should be used after the materiality of the witness, and that the witness had got sufficient time to be in attendance. No doubt, if a prisoner satisfied the Court, that even on the day of trial it should be made appear to the Court that the witness could give evidence material to the defence of the prisoner, that would oblige the Court to postpone the trial for the appearance of that witness. But it was the duty of the Court to see that no encouragement was given by the Court to the delay or obstruction of justice. His Lordship then said the bills were sent into court in this case on Saturday—notice was given that it would be proceeded with. The Court addressed the grand jury on the subject. The bills were sent up i n the course of Monday, and the grand jury sent down the bills. Various preliminary matters were discussed, and on Tuesday an application was made by the Attorney-General to fix Wednesday. His Lordship reviewed the other proceeding pr e li m i nary, and stated that they had no evidence to show that they had recently become aware of the materiality of the testimony of the witness, or of any due diligence being used to secure his attendance. On the cont rary, i f they had to judge o f the question whether it was not intended to abuse the rule of the Court, the abstaining from giving due notice to the parties who would have kept the witness in town, they would doubt the bona fides of the application, and the Court were bound to refuse the application. Mr. Justice MOORE said he would not enter further into the case than to say that sufficient grounds in law were not laid for the application. Mr. Thomas J. Quinton and Mr. Worthington, the former foreman of the county grand jury, and the latter another grand juror, were sworn as triers. Mr. Peter Cassaday, an attorney, was the first witness examined. He deposed that he practised as an attorney for six years constantly in that court. Was acquainted with the class of jurors generally in attendance. Ex amined the present panel. They were not the same class of jurors as usually attended. They were rather a more respectable class of persons on the present panel —he meant more wealthy in circumstances—that was the only difference ho saw. Mr. Peter Slevin, an officer of the corporation, was next called on. He deposed that he was very frequently employed in registering proceedings, and knew the city well. Sir COLMAN O'LocnLEN then asked him did ho know how many Roman Catholics were on the panel? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL objected. lie did not see what that bad to do with the panel. Sir COLMAN O'LOGHLEN said he thought it would be found relevant. For whereas the Catholic jurors were to the Protestant on the jurors' book as four to one, the number of Catholics did not on the panel bear to the Protestants the proportion of one to six. Sir Colman quoted the case at the Queen's County Special Com mission before the late Chief Justice Bushe in the year 1837. Mr. lIENN, Q.C., was heard contra. The sheriff was at perfect liberty to place upon the panel in any posi tion he pleased, and in any numbers as to any party he pleased, and the only challenge could be whether he had done so corruptly or not. Baron LEFROY—Suppose it should occur that a poor man was on his trial and that the sheriff sh ou ld p l ace on the panel a large number of rich men, wou ld you think that was unindiffrfnt? ...... Mr. lloLmEs—l think it would. Baron LEF ROY —Lord Tenterden has decided con -1 Y* John Broughton was then called, and stated that on ,he 13th of May he was served with a summons to attend here as a juror. His name did not appear on the panel. He was asked of what religion he was. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL objected. Sir COLMAN O'LOGHLEN said their object was to show that Roman Catholics summoned before the arrest of Mr. Mitchel had been left off the panel after. That would be a consideration for the triers. Anne Broughton, wife of the last witness, was called, and proved that the summons had been handed to her by a man whom she had never seen before. Did not know him. Mr. Ponder, sub-sheriff of the city of Dublin, deposed that the summons was issued by his officer when he got the panel. He (witness) had ordered a person named Wheeler to issue those summonses. It was his (Mr. Ponder's) duty to prepare panels. He did not interfere with this panel ; did not see it until the day before the commission. Did not see the list before the engrossment. Had no conversation about the panel with anybody. Some of the summonses for the present commission were issued before the calendar was made out. Proved a summons to Mr. Rossborough, also in Wheeler's handwriting. To the ATTORNEY-GENERAL—He does not know of any interference with the panel by the Crown or any body on their part. Mr. Rossborough was then called and proved the receipt of his summons. The question whether he was a Catholic was objected to. Mr. E. J. Milliken was then called. He was on th e present panel; was summoned on Friday last. Mr. French (High Sheriff)—He prepared the presente s panel n a w t h A a l t r . day.

Mr. HOLMES—But th ese were generally not on panels Witness, in conti nuat i on —Wheeler had given him a " list, and he took some from that list, and others from the jury book. Wheeler had given him a list of about 100 names. Baron LEFROY, in addressing the jurors very briefly, said in the opinion of the Court there is no evidence whatever to sustain the charge. The jurors then returned as their finding, "That the panel had been fairly and impartially made out by the sheriff and his officers, and therefore we fi n d aga i nst the challenge." The following jury was then sworn, after the prisoner had exhausted his challenges, and a large number had been ordered by the Crown to " stand by ;"—John Whitty, woollen draper ; W. Fletcher, Robert Thomas, William Horatio Nelson, Frederick Rambaud, William Mansfield, Halwood Clark, Richard Yoakley, Edward Rothwell, Jason Therweod, Thomas Bridgford, James Collyer. The jury having been called over, the Clerk of the Crown proceeded to read the indictment, which the pri soner's counsel demanded that he should do at length. The first publication on which reliance was placed was a speech delivered by Mr. Mitchel, in Limerick, and sub sequently printed in the United Irishman. Next he read another publication from the 13th of May, 18 48, i entitled "The Ti mes on Rebellion." From the same journal, another article of the same date, entitled "To the Protestant Farmers of Ireland." The second and third counts were the same as the first ; the fourth count varied the other three. There were in all ten counts, varying the charge, all founded on the publica tions of the 6th and 13th May. It was now, after the, reading of the indictment, twenty-five minutes to fire o'clock. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he did not like to break the case, and as it was impossible it could termi nate, or even the opening, he would ask if their Lord ships would have any objections to adjourn till to-mor row, when the whole trial must conclude. This arrangement was acceded to, and the jury was locked up, with instructions to the sheriff to afford them all proper refreshment. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
