Under ordinary circum s tances i s t"--iie'rl4l l 3'"-'" would be deemed impertinent for him to have made lesea E observations ; but, in a case like the present, he considered ho was perfectly justified in making them, because his ob ject was to show the extreme improbability that any one would sacrifice so great a name to obtain what might be considered some important advantage, still less that such a sacrifice should be made without, as he considered, the slightest assignable object or motive whatever. He asked the jury with great confidence whether it was possible, unless the prisoner was a lunatic, that she should have utterly sacrificed her character and position by committing a crime of this description, when she would not have ob tained the least benefit or advantage by it. The learned sergeant then said ho should show the jury by evidence that the prisoner was not under the slightest pecuniary pressure ; that she was in the receipt of nearly £lOO a year from different sources, and did not owe £lO in the world ; and as to the amount of the insurance, it would not have covered the value of the property that would have been destroyed. He next proceeded to comment at considerable length upon the evidence that had been adduced in sup port of the prosecution, and argued that, with reference to the periods of time that had been spoken to by the diffe rent witnesses, it was physically impossible that the pri soner could have committed the offence, and that, even according to the theory of the prosecution, a space or two or three minutes at most was allowed to her to have been the cause of the six different fires in different parts of the house that had been spoken to by the witnesses. Miss Jenny Elizabeth Grant, the daughter of the pri soner, was then examined in her behalf. Her evidence went to show that her mother had a pension from the Indian Mutiny Fund of £BO, another of £65 per annum fram the Government, and private property besides which produced £230 per annum—her total income being about £375 per annum. Her mother, she said, lived in moderate style, and did not spend more than £250 per annum. Mr. Denman submitted that evidence of the pecuniary position of the prisoner at the time of the alleged offence was inadmissible. He said that he was induced to take the objection in consequence of an observation that was made by Mr. Baron Martin on a former occasion, when an ap plication was made to postpone the trial. j I RAHAN'S LL WHISKY v.

The Lord Chief Baron expressed his opinion that Bardti Martin must have been misunderstood if he was supposed to have said that evidence of this character was not re ceivable. It was a matter of every-day occurrence in cases of robbery to produce evidence to show that before the robbery the person accused was in a state of destitution ; and surely the contrary was important to be proved, to show the absence of motive for the commission of a crime like the one imputed to the prisoner. Evidence was then given that at the time of the fire the prisoner had money at her command at Cox and Co.'s, the army agents; and Captain M'Dinough, Major Gordon, and Major Burnside, brother officers of the husband of the pri soner, and Mr. Cordy Burrows, one of the magistrates of Brighton, were also examined as to the character of the prisoner, and they all concurred in stating that it was irre proachable in every respect.

The noble CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, remarked that they were assembled to express their sympathy and to give their support to the operative bakers of London, who were associated in developing certain schemes having for their object the improve ment-of their condition and-•.their intellectual ad vancement. Their meeting together had not, strictly speaking, anything to do with the shortening of the hours of labour, while at the same time, in discussing any question connected with the advancement and improvement of the operative bakers it was impos sible to keep that matter out of view, as unless the hours of labour were considerably shortened the operative baker would have no time to take advan tage of the measures adopted for his benefit. (Hear, hear.) The hours of labour of the London journey men bakers were well known to be extravagant, and he could not see why, by voluntary effort and friendly communication between the men and the master bakers, a considerable reduction of them might not be effected. Such had been done in Scotland, where the hours of labour were now from five in the morning to five at night ; and although it was said, and perhaps with some truth, that the bread baked in Scotland was not so good as that baked in London, still he did not believe that well baked or bad-baked bread had anything to do in the matter. He therefore most cordially sympa thised with them in their efforts to improve their condition, and he considered it an honour, conferred not only upon himself, but upon the order to which he belonged, at being called on to preside over so interesting a meeting.

Savory, 78th Highlanders, on promotion, and re- The prisoner was placed in the dock appropriated to or dinary prisoners, and she was seated during the trial. Mr. Denman, Q.C., in opening the case for the prosecu tion, said that although the prisoner at the bar was a very different person to the ordinary class of prisoners charged with the offence of arson, he was afraid that the evidence he should have to lay-before them in support of the present indictment was of such a cogent character as would require their most serious consideration. The learned counsel then proceeded to state that the prisoner was undoubtedly a lady by birth, and she had been with her husband in India, and after his death, which took place in that country, she re turned to England and took a house belonging to a gentle man named Field, in Chesham-road, Brighton, in the be ginning of the year 1864. She was to pay a rent of £2B a year, and the house was taken for a period of two years ; but it appeared that short 31 -7— alCr . Ole - "fifiien - er weind into possession she was dissatisfied with the house, and made an arrangement with Mr. Field to give up possession of it, and she was originally to have left on March 18, but the day was afterwards altered to the 19th. After this arrangement had been made, the prisoner took apartments in Broad street, Brighton; and it seemed that she had made arrange ments with an upholsterer, named Holden, that a portion of her furniture should be left in his charge. The prisoner was engaged on the 17th and 18th in her removal, and on the last-mentioned day these operations were nearly com pleted, and the prisoner appeared to have left about seven o'clock in the evening, in company with her servant, a young woman named Holmes; her daughter, a young lady about twenty years of age, who completed the esta blishment, having previously gone to the new residence in Broad-street. At the time the prisoner and Holmes left the premises they were quite safe, and there was not the slightest appearance of fire ; and it appeared that after the prisoner arrived at Broad-street she had her dinner, and a little before eight o'clock she stated that she had either left her purse behind her at Chesham-road, or had lost it, and that she must go back and look for it, and she requested the servant girl „Holmes to accompany her. They accordingly left together, and were about to go to Mr. Holden's to obtain the key of the house, but they‘met him and he gave the prisoner the key. Shortly after this the prisoner appeared to have sent Holmes back to the house in Broad-street, giving her directions to inform her daughter where she was going ; and it appeared that she then went to a tradesman named Parsons, and asked him to give her a piece of candle and a few lucifer matches, and he did so, and the prisoner then appeared to have proceeded to the house in Chesham-road. From this time nothing seems to have been positively known of the prisoner's pro ceedings until she returned to her new residence in Broad street, except that immediately she came back she is said to have stated that the house was full of smoke as usual. The fire appeared to have been discovered about 20 minutes to 9 o'clock on the same evening, and the first person who gave the alarm was a woman named Rirwen, who, it would seem, had been in the habit of stopping at the house as she was passing to hear Miss Grant, prisoner's daughter, who, it was stated, was an accomplished musician, play upon the piano. Her attention was attracted by seeing the house shut up, and while she was looking at it she saw a blaze, and discovered that the house was on fire. Assistance, of course, quickly arrived, and the first thing that appeared to have excited attention was the fact of the house being completely and securely fastened, and it was necessary to force open the door before an entrance could be obtained. Upon the police and others entering the premises they dis covered that the gas had been left turned on, and that there was a crate full of paper in the back parlour, Which had been partially burned. There also appeared to have been a fire burning under the stairs, another in a wardrobe and in a chest of drawers in the prisoner's bed-room: and, accord ing to the case for the prosecution, there were six distinct fires in different parts of the house, but the whole of them appeared to have gone out, and no material damage was done to the premises. Very soon after the discovery took place the prisoner was told what had happened, and she at first appeared to be very much alarmed, and afterwards exclaimed, " Oh that horrid house ! it has been a trouble to me ever since I have had it." The learned counsel for the prosecution, in the course of his address to the jury, admitted that he was unable to show any motive for the commission of such a serious crime by tho prisoner ; and although it transpired incidentally in the course of the in quiry that an insurance had been effected to the extent of £5OO upon the furniture, it seemed to be admitted that this was by no means an excessive sum, and that the portion of furniture that was removed had been openly taken away by the tradesmen who were employed, and that every one in the neighbourhood was aware that the prisoner was about to remove. It also appeared that although the house was a small house, the prisoner was in possession of a num ber of :rare and curious Indian ornaments, which were of considerable value, in addition to the furniture, and that the property altogether A great many witnesses having been much more . than £5OO. been examined to prove the foregoing statement, was worworth Sergeant Ballantine proceeded to address the jury for the defence. He said that six or seven years ago the lady at the bar accompanied her" husband during one of the most momentous struggles that had ever taken place in the his tory of this country. Her husband formed a portion of that noble army by whose gallant conduct the integrity of the kingdom was maintained, and a mighty country preserved to the dominion of the British Crown. She had undergone with her gallant husband all the perils of the memorable siege of Delhi; and although her husband had succumbed to the hardships he had undergone, she still remained one of that noble band of women who, during the terrible struggle, had exhibited instances of self-denial and heroism that had given to the women of this country a name that would never die. If ho could for a moment suppose it possible that the jury would give an adverse verdict to the prisoner, he would only observe that it appeared to him that it would have been well for her if she had died with her gallant husband, and had.thus, with her child, a young lady just entering into woman- Mr. JAMES TAYLOR, the secretary, then read a report detailing what had been done in furtherance of the object for which they had assembled. It stated that the trade generally was 25 per cent. better than it was in 1860. Wages had been in creased ; many masters had abolished night-work, while not a few closed their shops on Sundays, which had done away with Sunday bakings. In regard to the establishment of a home and reading room, something had been done in that respect. A room had been procured at Rolls-buildings, Fetter lane, and fitted-up for that purpose, but some £250 was required to place it in proper working order. They had already a library of 140 volumes, and they had expended £2l in furniture; but as their funds were nearly all expended, it was hoped that the general public as well as the trade would come forward and aid them. Lord EBURY then moved a resolution to the effect that the meeting, after hearing the report, was of opinion that there was much need of a home or club and institute for the unemployed and young men in the baking trade, in order that a better system of obtaining employment might be established. The noble lord expressed his satisfaction at the success which was attending the movement, and trusted that they would receive such support as would carry it to a successful issue. The resolution having been seconded by Mr. BONTHRON, master baker, was cordially adopted. Mr. A. H. LAYARD, M.P., next moved that the meeting was of opinion that the journeymen bakers were justified in using all moral, legal, and consti tutional means to abolish the pernicious system of night-work and unlimited hours, in order that they may have a better opportunity for improving their intellectual capabilities, and to afflittle egmoerdnetnitetra.imalennfosurpa rport oaftiothneal resolution n n a th n e d h a o m n us . com mented on the benefits which had resulted from the act recently passed for the regulation of bakehouses and the employment of young persons in them. The only objection to it was that the inspection under it was not made compulsory, and he had no doubt but that that defect in the Act might yet be remedied. The resolution, having been seconded by the Rev. 11. SOLLY, was adopted nem. con. The meeting then adjourned.
