Capt. Gaynor, of the 38th Regiment, has been or dered to proceed to the service companies of that corps. The Rev. Mr. Cannon, Presbyterian chaplain at Colchester, is to proceed to Shorncliffe, and the Rev. Mr. Kirkwood, now officiating at Shorncliffe, is to do duty at Colchester in the room of Mr. Cannon. Staff-Surgeon West has been ordered to Colchester for duty with the 4th Depot Battalion, vice Surgeon W est, under orders for foreign service. The annual course of musketry instruction, under the superintendence of Capt. Bunco and Sergeant Rixson, Royal Marine Light Infantry, at Woolwich, has terminated; 1,040 non-commissioned officers and men have been exercised throughout the past year, and a most satisfactory report has been forwarded to the Admiralty. The figure of merit of the bat talion is 78.94 ; best shooting detachment, 107.00 ; best shot of battalion, Private Stephen Lester, 111th company, 74 points in the first and second classes. The percentage of first-class shots was 34.57. The musketry range is situated in the Royal Arsenal marshes, and is occupied each•alternate day by other corps, so that the Royal Marines are enabled to carry out their instructions three days per week only. Constant complaints have been made of the want of shelter during the practice, as it is stated that the severity of the weather, in summer as well as winter, has frequently been detrimental to the correctness of their aim, in addition to the unneces sary exposure of the men themselves. Capt. Bunce has been granted leave of absence from his division until the 22d of February, when the course of in struction for the forthcoming year will commence. The Lords' Commissioners of the Admiralty have been pleased to signify, by an announcementreceived yesterday at Woolwich, that Royal Marines serving in ships at home shall be allowed two months' leave, on re-engagment, with a free passage back to their ships ; and that those re-engaging while serving in seagoing ships shall on regaining their division, be also granted a furlough for two months, with a free passage back to headquarters. The officers of the Select Committee of Woolwich Arsenal have terminated their experiments in gunnery for the season. The whole of the new Woolwich guns made in the Royal gun factories, under the superintendence of Col. Campbell, R.A., 120 in number, have been proved at the Butt, and none have failed in the slightest degree. Mr. Frazer's cheap gun has fired 250 battery charges with the greatest success. The charges consisted of 301 b. of powder, increased to 401 b., and a 2501 b. shot. The gun is as perfect as at the commencement of the trial. The drawings and specifications of the armour plates for the new ironclad frigate Hercules, ordered to be laid down at Chatham, have been prepared at the dockyard preparatory to tenders for the manu facture of the plates being invited from the princi pal iron firms. The broadside armour plates are to be 9in. thick, and the others Bin. and 6in. thick. It is intended to give the manufacturer of the 8-inch and 9-inch plates to one firm and the other kinds to a separate firm, three different contracts being re quired for the various plates. It is worthy of re mark that the largest iron plates yet manufactured either in this country or America have been sent out by the firm of Messrs. John Brown and Co., Atlas Works, Sheffield, several thousand tons of plates of a thickness never before manufactured having been despatched by the firm named to Russia, which takes an unlimited quantity for the facing of the granite fortifications now being erected at Cronstadt and other parts of the island of Retusari, commanding the approaches to St. Petersburg. In consequence of the great increase which has recently taken place in the factory and engineer de partments at Chatham dockyard, owing to the alte rations rendered necessary since that establishment has become the principal dockyard foriron shipbuild ing, the Admiralty have directed the appointment of an assistant chief engineer and inspector of machinery for service at the dockyard. 'The officer to be ap pointed will be attached to the Wellesley, 72, guard ship at the port, for service at the dockyard, and will receive allowance for table money, &c. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty:—Lieut. Fredk. Edwards to the Duke of Wellington ; Lieut. Chas. E. K. Brett, to the Aboukir ; Lieut. Harry F. Hovendon, to the Gladiator; Alex. Brown, master, to the Indus, for service in the Topaz° ; Fredk. W. Rea, master, to the Cumberland, for service in the Bellerophon ; and Henry J. Chalke, master's-assist., to the Tamar. The traffic receipts of this company's lines, 611 miles in length, amounted for the week ending the 21st of October to £10,103, and for the correspond.. ing week of last year on 571 miles, to £6,392, show ing an increase of 40 miles, and £3,711, or 58 per cent. in the receipts. New South Waits. SYDNEY, Oct. 25. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. • - METROPOLITAN (FINSBURY) EXTENSION. The following is the speech of Sir John Young on opening Parliament in Sydney, New South Wales, on the 24th of October last : " Hon. Gentlemen Gentlemen of t the t h e e g L is e la g t i i s v la c t l i i v s e se C n o lb u l n y c , il and " (1.) The duties of Parliament having already occupied you during five mo n th s o f the present year, it is not without regret that I feel myself com pelled to call you together so soon,espe c ially s this is the season when your private affairs most require your attention. (2.) Satisfactory results have attended the measures sanctioned by you dur ing your last session for improving the state of the public revenues. Though that portion of the fiscal scheme which obtained your assent has not produced sufficient to meet the requirements of Government, yet when it is considered that its operation has ex tended over so short a period, and that the law has been found in some respects defective, the improved condition of the public finances is matter for con gratulation. (3.) By the recent appraisement of the runs occupied by the pastoral tenants of the Crown, the annual income from the public waste lands will be largely augmented, but the estimated amount of money will not be fully realised. (4.) During the Recess arrangements have been made for holding Circuit Courts at Deniliquin, Wagga Wagga, and Armidale, and those distant parts of the colony will now speedily have the advantage of the administration of justice by the Su perior Courts. (5.) Measures have been taken for relieving the more overcrowded of the prisons by removing a considerable number of the inmates to Port Macquarie, where at a comparatively small expense buildings hitherto . unoccupied have been made available for this pur pose. Steps have also been taken for carrying out a system of classification. A bill to regulate prison discipline and to encourage the reform of offenders by establishing a plan of remission of sentences will be submitted for your consideration. (6.) During several years past large sums have been expended in improving the accommodation in our lunatic asy lum, but noting really effective can be done until the new buildings have been erected. Preliminary arrangements are being made for the erection of such buildings, and your concurrence will be re quested in the selection of a suitable site for the pur pose. It is much to be desired that a private esta blishment should be opened for the reception of patients of that class for whom it is difficult to make suitable arrangements in a public asylum. To faci litate the establishment of such an institution an amendment of the law will be necessary, and a bill having reference to the subject will be submitted to you. (7.) A bill for regulating reformatory and industrial schools has also been prepared for your consideration. This subject is one of daily increas ing interest. (8.) Several other bills having refer ence to questions of pressing importance will be laid before you. Among them is one for amending the Municipalities Act of 1851, with a view to correct its numerous defects and to promote the extension of these corporations throughout the colony, and also a bill for creating road trusts. Your attention will be invited to bills for amending the Stamp Act and the District Courts Act, the Superannuation Act and the Volunteer Act, and for dealing with other subjects requiring legislation. Gentlemen of the Legislative Assembly,—(9.) The Estimates of expenditure for the year 1866, and a Supplementary Estimate for the current year, will be laid before you without delay. (10.) Notwithstanding the continued bad seasons, from which the colony has suffered during the last four years, and its comparatively depressed condition, the revenue for the year will, it is believed, cover the expen diture. Hon. Gentlemen of the Legislative Council and Gentlemen of the Legislative Assembly,—(ll.) Owing to the competition caused by the large number of colonial debentures for sale in London, and the tightness of the money market arising from the demands for money from foreign countries, the debentures of this colony have not of late realised such favourable prices as they formerly obtained. Authority has recently been given for placing them before the public in the same manner that other co lonies have, with better success, adopted for dis posing of their securities, and it is anticipated they will in consequence be. more favourably viewed by purchasers. (12.) In the event of further taxation being required to provide sufficient revenue for making adequate provision to meet the interest of our public debt and for paying off debentures as Yesterday the official inspection of this line was made by Captain Tyler, Government Inspector, previous to its being opened for passenger traffic. The examination was commenced about 11 o'clock. Mr. M. Fenton, the genoral manager ; Mr. J. Belk, M.P., the contractor ; Mr. J. Fowler, the engineer ; Mr. Armstrong, Mr. Spagholetti, Mr. Burnett, and others were present. Captain Tyler first inspected the disc telegraphic apparatus by Mr. Spagholetti, and the levers in the junction signal box at the en trance to the new Farringdon-street station, and those near the mouth of the Clerkenwell tunnel, where at the present moment some, difficult works are being carried out by the contractor. On the east of the Clerkenwell tunnel another is being formed at a level 14ft. below that already existing, and now used for the daily traffic of the line to and from Paddington. The new tunnel extends about 700 yards in the direction of King's-cross. The re mainder of the distance to that station will be an open cutting. From the entrance of the Clerken well tunnel the officials proceeded to the permanent Farringdon-street station, on the east of the tem porary station now in use. At the south end of the new Farringdon-street station there are two open. ings beneath the girder bridge which carries the street above. Through that on the right the line leads to a junction with the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway at Ludgate-hill, and also to a loop line furnished with a mixed gauge for the accommo dation of the Great Western Railway, and passing beneath the site of the intended new meat market at Smithfield. The narrow gauge rails of the ;Me tropolitan proper are taken beneath the left open ing, and, running round the base of the north wall of the cutting, pass beneath a covered way at the end of St. John-street, Clerkenwell, and under Charterhouse-street, emerging at the Aldersgate station, a building 300 ft. long, with an arched roof of iron and glass. The distance between the Farringdon and Aldersgate-street stations is about a quarter of a mile, and from the latter, through the north half of the station, the line is continued by covered way and cutting to the temporary Moor gate station in Little Moorfields, at the back of Finsbury-pavement. A portion of the mixed gauge rails upon the loop line on which the Great Western traffic from Paddington will be taken into the city has been laid, but the cutting from near Aldersgate station to Moorgate has yet to be cleared. With this exception the Finsbury extension is completed and ready for opening. Captain Tyler returned again along the line, examining the points and sig nals, a special train being at the disposal of the in spector. The line will probably be soon opened for traffic. they fall due, a proposition for this purpose will be laid before you, and I trust you will cordially assent to any reasonable measure having this object iu view. (13.) The construction of railways is being proceeded with in the northern, western, and south ern directions as fast as funds can be provided for the purpose. (14.) You will be invited to consider, at as early a period as the more urgent matters re quiring your attention will permit, whether a plan for attracting from the mother country a larger and more continuous stream of the better classes of in dustrious immigrants cannot be devised. The sub ject is one of the greatest importance to the colony, each of the varied interests of which must continue to languish without such aids. In connection with it your attention will be directed to the present up set price of the inferior and back lands, and the de sirability of making the acquisition of such lands by purchase possible. It is a matter well worthy your serious and thoughtful consideration whether the freehold occupation of all classes of land is not more advantageous, in a public point of view, than any other more precarious tenure ; whether by such means the permanent settlement of an industrious population may not be best promoted, the improve ment of the land encouraged, its productiveness in creased, and a more adequate return insured for its use and occupation. Large funds would thus be pro vided for meeting the cost of immigration, and of public works and institutions which become necessary as population advan c e s . (15.) I pray that the Divine blessing may attend your counsels and guide you to adopt such measures as may tend to advance the welfare and happiness of the community whose interests are committed to your care."

A waggon containing four horses, the property of the King of Italy, has just been destroyed by fire, as well as the groom in whose charge tho animals wero, while on the Montoran Seine-et-Oise Railway.

DEATH OF AN EMINHNT MINING ENGlNEER.—ln telligence reached Newcastle-on-Tyne on Tuesday evening that Mr. Nicholas Wood, of Hetton-hall, the emi nent mining engineer, was dead. Mr. Wood, who was in the 72d year of his ago, had gone to London to consult his medical adviser, and died there on Tuesday. Mr. 'Wood had been connected with extensive mining operations in Northumberland and Durham fully half a century. He was associated with George Stephenson at Killingworth colliery, and had for years been a great authority upon all subjects relating to mining engineering in every part of the kingdom. Mr. Wood was a large coal owner in the county of Durham, and his name is associated with the late Mr. John Buddle, and other great authorities in min ing engineering, and with George Stephenson in the early history a railways. THE RAMSGATE MURDERS• The trial of Stephen Forwood, alias Ernest Southey, bake; and some time billiard-marker, charged with the murder of his wife and child at Ramsgate, was fixed to come on yesterday morning at the Maidstone Assizes, be fore Mr. Justice Mellor. By half-past 9 o'clock the court was densely crowded, and great anxiety was manifested to see the prisoner and hear the proceedings. When his lord ship took his seat Mr. E. T. Smith applied for a postpone ment until after the adjournment, on the ground that some medical witnesses who were to be examined had not come From London by the early train, and could not, therefore, arrive till 12 o'clock. The case was accordingly postponed till half-past 1 o'clock, when the learned judge again took his seat. The prisoner soon made his appearance, and seemed quite calm and collected. He is an intelligent looking man, about 35 years of age, somewhat above the middle height, and of dark hair and complexion. When the prisoner took his place at the dock Mr. Reed proceeded to arraign him, addressing him as follows : Stephen Forwood, you are indicted for that you, on the 10th of August, at Ramsgate, did feloniously, wilfully, and of malice aforethought— The prisoner here interposei, and said his name was not Forwood; that he had eight years ago taken the name of Southey, and was informed by two members of Parliament that it was quite legal to do so. His Lordship—lf you desire it, I will order the name of Forwood to be struck out, and that of Southey inserted in the indictment. The prisoner—l desire it, my lord. On the indictment as amended having been read to the prisoner, he said—Before I plead I wish to make a state ment. The learned Judge said—l will hear no statement from you until you plead to the indictment. The prisoner paused for some moments, as if deliberating what course he should pursue. After some time the prisoner pleaded "Not guilty," and then asked leave to make tho statement. He said he wanted to show that Mrs. Forwood's death was owing to another cause than that stated in the indictment, awl that she was dead before the wounds inflicted on her on the 10th of August. The learned Judge—You must hear the counsel for the prosecution open the case, and then your defence can bo made. The prisoner—lt is impossible that justice can be done if the case proceeds at the present assizes. The learned Judge then called on Mr. Reed to read the indictment charging the prisoner with the murder of his daughter Jemima Forwood. This indictment having been read, The prisoner proceeded to talk in the most extravagant manner, when he was again asked by his lordship whether he was going to plead to the indictment. _ _ The prisoner evaded the question by an irrelevant ob servation, when _ . _ His lordship ordered a plea of not guilty to be entered. The prisoner then said—l protest against these pro ceedings, and then placed his papers on the floor within the dock. The jury were then called and sworn, there having been ono challenge. _ . • _ _ On the prisoner being given in charge to the jury, ho said—l object to the whole twelve of these gentlemen. I should have a special jury. His lordship—You cannot have a special jury. Mr. Poland then proceeded to state the case to the jury. He said it became his duty to lay the facts of this painful case before them. He would do eo, however, dispassion ately, and without imparting into it any matters calculated to prejudice the trial of the prisoner. The learned counsel then proceeded to state the facts as they appear in the evi dence. Having gone over all the circumstances connected with the Ramsgate murders, he proceeded to speak of the declaration the prisoner had made relative to the Red Lion-street murders, when His Lordship said he trusted he (the learned counsel) would be cautious not to go too far into that matter. He had full confidence in the learned counsel, and would there fore leave him to deal with the occurrences in London, only first cautioning him to be careful not to go too far. Mr. Poland continued his statement, and concluded by saying that ho would lay the facts before them, and leave them to do justice between the prisoner and the public. William George Tapenden, examined, said—ln August last I was the porter at tho Campden Arms Inn, Ramsgate. I remember the night of the 9th of August. I saw the pri soner that night. He sent me to the dyer's in King-street, to ask for "Mrs. Dressmaker." This was about a quarter to eight. I afterwards returned to ask him whom he meant. He then said I was to ask for Mrs. Forwood. He told me to ask for her direction. I went and found her. She gave me a piece of paper with au address on it, which I brought back to the gentleman. He had a beard and moustache. I did not notice that he had spectacles. Ile was walking up and down outside tho Campden Arms when I gave him the paper. He went away after I gave it to him. The witness was not cross-examined. William Ellis, examined by Mr. Bland, said —I am a dyer, living in King-street, Ramsgate. My daughter Ade laide lives with me. I have known the prisoner for the last 15 years. I did not knowhis name until ho was married. He then wont by the name of Stephen Forwood. A busi ness WaS taken then for him as a master baker. Ho continued in Ramsgate about 15 months, and then left with his wife. Ho lodged with me for a short time in High-street. Ho then went to London to look for a situation. His wife remained with us for a few days, and then went after him. I did not see her again till about 7 years ago. Sho came with a sick child, who afterwards died. She wont to St. Lawrence, and housed to come down occasionally and stop a short time. He was there at the time the deceased child, Emily, was born. That would be about eight years next Christmas. I did not see him from that till the night of the 9th of August. Mrs. Forwood was then living opposite to me in King street. She was a dressmaker, and lived there with her mother and child. I remember Wednesday, the 9th August. It was a little after nine. I was standing at the door. I saw Mrs. Forwood coming across the road. I saw the man in the middle of the road. Sho said, " 'Tis Stephen." I asked him in, and took him by the hand, and greeted him on his return. He took his place opposite to her on a chair, and I stood by the side of her watching him. His wife asked him why did ho leave her, and that she should have perished but for her kind friends. Ho said that he had saved up £1,172, but that he had been done out of it all. At this stage of the examination the proceedings were interrupted by the music of a band playing the " Dead March" just outside the court. His lordship at once sent an officer to stop it. Examination continued—She told him she could do no- thing for him as she was under parochial relief. He began to narrate the privations he had gone through. She wanted to know what induced him to come back to her. She said, " You must have some motive." He said, " What I have to say I cannot say in the presence of your friends." This he repeated, and my daughter said, " Well, if you have any thing to say, father and I will retire into the shop." We wont into the shop. Wo were there something like a quar ter of an hour, when she came and said, " Well, ho has promised to come in the morning at 8 o'clock. She said nothing else. We then all three went back into the room. When my daughter said, "Well, you'll be sure and come,' , ho said, "Yes." We pressed him to come to breakfast. He promised to come. The prisoner and Mrs. Forwood went out of the house, she to her own door and he towards Belvue-hill. He worn a beard and moustache, but I did not see spectacles. On the following morning Mrs. For wood came in about a quarter to 8, and soon after the little girl came. We had our breakfast. He came about 20 minutes after eight. I put a chair for him to sit down. I asked him to have breakfast. He said ho had had breakfast. Tho first thing he said when he sat down was, " I had nothing but reproof last night, I want no more of it." The child then came in out of the yard. My daughter said, "Emily, do you know that gentleman?" He said, "Come round to me, Emily." She did so, and then the prisoner said, "Is this ours ?" She (Mrs. For wood) said " Yes." He then embraced the child affec tionately. She told him the boy was dead, and said, "Did you know it ?" He said, " No." My daughter said, "If you have anything to say to ono another you can go up to the sitting-room together." It was now drawing close to 9 o'clock, and I was going to my work. I went to the back of the place, and when I had been there for some time I heard the reports of two pistols. I did not notice it par ticularly, as the boys sometimes fire pistols. I heard my daughter shrieking, "Father ! father !" I ran across the yard, and went upstairs to the sitting-room. I saw the child dead on the landing, and jumped over it. I saw the prisoner through the door, which was partly open. I pushed the door open and seized him by the shoulder, say ing, " Forwood, what have you been doing ?" He made no answer. I said, " Y ou have a pistol in your hand ; give it to me directly." He gave it to me. It was quite hot. It was a revolver with five chambers. The room smelt strong of gunpowder. I saw the legs of his wife as I looked over the table. I said, " Why have you done this ? This will ruin me." I said, "Ellis, I have £l,lOO. 1 will compensate Yl3°u for e called su fsuffer." roC t should f orthe phoal sce a a n i d d that whatever questioned y you himmay I fcr a doctor, saying, "That is little use, as they are both dead." He said, "Yes, send for the police; that's best." When I asked him why he did it, he said, " She has been a great deal of trouble ; so have I. Her troubles are over . mine are not. She knows no more ; but as for me, when return to London I shall be under sentence of death." "What," I said, "for committing a double murder ?" He said "No, for what I have left done behind. 1 will say no more. There is a piece of paper under her right arm ; take it and take care of it." I took it and found there was blood on When in the act of taking it I heard something behind. I turned round, and when I looked at hen I obseryed a grea difference in the prisoner's appearance. I asked him where his whiskers and moustache were. Ho replied that he had thrown them down there, pointing to the fender. I searched and found the spectacles, and the prisoner then took the whiskers from his pocket. The policeman then came into the room, and I charged him with the murders, and handed over to the police the pistol, whiskers, and spec tacles. Superintendent Levick then arrived, and he asked the prisoner his name. Ho said it was Stephen Forwood, but that he had been going by the name of Ernest Walter Southey. Mr. Levick then asked him if the deceased was his wife. He said " Yes, it is my lawful wife and child." The pistol, whiskers, and moustache were here produced, and identified by the witness. The spectacles found in the room were also produced. This closed the evidence in chief of this witness. Mr. Smith was proceeding to cross-examine him, when The prisoner said—My lord, I wish to ask the witness a question. His Lordship said—You had better communicate it to counsel. _ vv The prisoner said he could not conscientiously allow any one to plead for him. His Lordship—Am I to understand that you decline the assistance of counsel ? The prisoner—ln consequenee of the trial being forced on I cannot defend myself, nor be defended by any one else. lam unable to authorise any one to act for me. His Lordship—But you seem to have authorised counsel by your attorney. The prisoner—No, my lord. _ _ _ Mr. E. T. Smith—l should state, my lord, that the attor ney who instructs me has been in daily communication with the prisoner. Several doctors have also been with him, and they are of opinion that he is not in a state either to give or withdraw an authority. His Lordship —lf you had suggested that before, I would have had the jury empanelled to try the question of sanity. If you wish, however, I will direct the jury to be sworn now to try the question. Mr. Smith assented to this course. His Lordship accordingly directed the jury to be sworn to try,khe question of sanity. Mr. Polland objected to this course as unusual and in convenient. His Lordship said—l remember a similar course having been taken by Mr. Justice Blackburn at Liverpool ; and my clerk reminds me of a somewhat similar course having been once taken at the Durham assizes. It would no doubt entail a great loss of time, but on the whole it was the safer course to follow. The Court then rose. SCIENTIFIC AND ORNAMENTAL PRESENTS.

PRACTICAL INSTRUCTION in GEOLOGY and MINE RALOGY is given by Mr.TENNANT,F.G.S., at 149. Strand, A Clergyman Assaulting a Chorister. The Rev. O.De Leyland Baldwin, curate of St. Stephen's, Salford, was charged at the Salford Town-hall, yesterday, with assaulting a boy named Wm. Wharton.—Mr. R. B. B. Cobbott, in stating the facts, said that the claimant had been a chorister at St. Steithon's up to the time of the as sault, that ho had rendered his services gratuitously, and that the defendant was not justified in striking and kicking him as he had done. The boy's father preferred the charge. The boy said he was at the church on Tuesday morning. In descending the stairs which led to the organ he touched the cap of another lad. For doing this Mr. Thorp, the organ master, hit him ou the head. Witness refused to join the other choristers who went into the choir. The defen dant, who had come into the church, saw witness alone, and asked why he did not rejoin the other boys. The re ply was that Mr. Thorp had hit him. The defendant told witness to go into the choir. He answered that ho would not, because Mr. Thorp had struck him. Thereupon, the defendant resorted to force. He seized witness by the neck, dragged him along, twisted an arm round towards the back, and struck him on the face. Witness then fell. On gaining his feet, the defendant struck him on the face and twisted an arm again. While on the floor the defendant kicked him. After the assault, the defendant said, "If you will not go into the vestry in five minutes I will gag you into it." Ho attempted to do this by putting part of his hand kerchief into witness's mouth, which bled afterwards in consequence. In cross-examination, witness said the kick might have been given accidentally. Matthew White head, the complainant's cousin, said he saw the defen dant twist Wharton's arm towards the back. Complainant cried, and said, "Go for my father." Witness went.—W. L. Wharton said he was the father of the complainant, who was ten years of age. Witness was a member of the con gregation at St. Stephen's. After hearing what had taken place on Tuesday evening he went to the vestry. He saw his son and the defendant there. It was about half-past 8 o'clock. Witness asked the defendant to account for his conduct to the lad. The defendant said the charge of as saulting the boy was wrong. Witness's son then related what had occurred. This was in the defendant's presence, and after the recital, he was asked what he had to say. As a reply was not forthcoming, witness took his son away to the chief constable.—The defendant, who conducted his own case, in cross-examining the witness, asked if he was a high or low Churchman, and whether he disapproved of the "extraordinary observances" at St. Stephen's.—Mr. Trafford, the magistrate, said Mr. Baldwin was only aggra vating the offence by putting such questions, for the assault had occurred since those disturbances. The defendant replied that the charge against him had been brought in malice, because he was unpopular as a clergyman, not because he had assaulted the boy. Mr. Trafford—Do you think you will improve your case by imputing malice ? Mr. W. Taylor, chief constable, said the complainant's son was brought to him on Tuesday evening. His lips appeared to be a little smeared * as if they or the gums had been bleeding. The left eYe was also swollen, and the whole face indicated recent I:beeping. This concluded the evi dence for the complainant. _ _ Mr. Baldwin, before calling witnesses, stated his defence. He said he should be able to prove that this charge was brought, not because he had assaulted the boy, but that it was a frivolous, vexatious complaint, made for reasons he knew not. He would prove that he was only seen to hold _ _ _ _ . the boy ; that at the beginning ho asked him to go into the choir, and said his differences with the choir master should be settled afterwards. Instead of acceding to this arrangement, the lad attempted to run oway, as he had done one the previous Tuesday, when defendant was absent. Defendant held him by the arms, and twisted them round, not to give pain but to render the boy helpless. He utterly denied knocking him down. The boy tried to tumble down, as lads did when likely to be punished. Then, be cause he was making such a noise, defendant dragged him towards the vestry. In leading him along in that way he might have touched the lad with a foot, but that he kicked at him was utterly false. A scratch on the lad's eye had been done with a pin on the Sunday preceding the day in question. In short, what he did to the boy was that he for cibly detained him to prevent his running away. Commis sioned by the rector and churchwardens, defendant at tended at the church to keep the choristers in order. The boy was sent to the church by his father to learn to sing and he (defendant) must have such authority over him as was possessed by a schoolmaster. (Mr. Trafford—No, no.) At any rate, ho must have some control over the choristers. He hoped that the magistrate would take into considera tion that this charge had been brought because he was un popular as a clergyman. Had the complainant found that instead of a clergyman at St. Stephen's any other man had struck his so; the matter would probly have been settled over a glass of beer. The lad's father had been asked by defendant's personal enemies not to compromise the charge for any money, but to make an example of him. The de fendant called the following witnesses : _ _ Mary Wilson, a girl, said on tho night in question she was in the church. She was on one side of the aisle, the boy was on the other. She heard the defendant ask him why he was not in the choir. Wharton's reply was, be cause the choir master had hit him. The defendant then said, " Go into the choir, and I will settle with you after ward." Instead of complying, Wharton turned to run away. The defendant held him by an arm, and said, "Come into the vestry with ve." The boyrefused. The defendant then tried to carry him, and Wharton "slur red" down. Witness did not see the defendant hit or kick the lad, but she heard Wharton cry, " Oh, my arm." Richard Knowles, a chorister, said he saw the defendant hit the boy on the face. The blow was struck with the open hand. David Collins saidthat he and other choristers were in the vestry playing, and that Wharton looked into the defendant's note-book. James Thorp, the choir master, was proceeding to state what occasioned the little misun derstanding between himself and the boy, when Mr. Trafford interrupted. The defendant—l wish to show that the boy has not told the truth. Mr. Trafford-4f you prove that he has told an untruth, it does not follow that he cannot speak the truth upon oath. The very purpose of the oath is to make a person speak the truth who would not without it. Samuel Rastrick, who holds the keys of the church, said the choristers gave much trouble to the defendant. He did not see the assault. The defendant said, on his honour, as a gentleman, he had not kicked the lad. This concluded the defence. Mr. Trafford said it was a pity this charge had been brought. He was the more sorry that the defendant should impute to the complainant that it had been brought in malice, and in a spirit of persecution ; for nothing had ap peared to justify such an imputation. Yet the charge was one which might not have been made had a conciliatory spirit been manifested. This was the first time a clergyman had been brought before him on such a charge. He should fine the defendant 10s. He regretted the necessity for that decision; but he really thought that those persons, the high Church people, who talked so much about the sanctity of the Church, ought to take care and not thrash a lad within the sacred precincts.
