(From the Derby Reporter.) Our readora will see that a putaio meeting is appoi n t e d to be bold by his Worship th e M ayor, in compli:nice vrith a requis:tion, on Thursday next, to consider the propriety cf petitioning the Legidature to re v i se the 101 pc rt Duti . TeL is a question w hieb deeply interests all classes of society, exc ept a few wealthy monopolists, to who se e d v .. r . t , a , the trade of the country, and the °mica of the peaple, have boon long saer:ficed.

Impoit crusprising the opinions of pr tax-ax payers of dutie:ies and reeei Tors of them—are as fayourabla to the expediency of adapting these duties to a reale which would promote comincr as could be wished. This country owes its great) its manufilc turce and commerce ; a large portion of , its indu.trious inhebitaxts must d e p en d u p on t ra de for sub tepee ; and classiu must look back t,) commerce fur the numerous nr•L'zfoqa luxurea to which ire are ha'Atuated, a:tc! witliont whieli th e y cou ll not be purchased.

The enormous disparity of prices of vibes have become, by long use, necessaries of life —tin, coffce, sugar, &e. Etre. ia this county and foreign States, subjecta our artisans to a very unfair competition, and taros their powers of endurance to a degree which is in compatible with their health an d com f ort and the national welfare. Hitherto it has been urged that the heavy burdens of the country would not admit of any remission of t'ne'o duties, but since it is the opiaion of official men, whose ittiioll of what and eperience oug to smoke them th e be,t jivlge] is de x sirahle, that th !it e revenu e woo ld b e inerfaied by lowering the Import Duties lecause it would iced to a greater consumption of the articles on which they arc levied, thg experiment ought to l,e . tried. A t all evars, if the peop l e e t ; alive to their own mt.:rest., ihey will now show themselves in their strength, and tell the Legi-liture, in such nueshers as will command respect, that th e y c .oft slently look for such meesure2 as will give ei:couragereent to their inaestry,• and eryable them to consume a grea..er quantity of those fireigri articles which arc become, from long habit, necessary to their comfort and enjoyment.

FROM TIIE DAILY PAPERS oF SATURDAY. (From the Globe.) The dissensions between Lord Cardigan and the officers of the Eleventh Hussars, with the state of inefficiency into which that regim en t h as b een b roug ht by those dissensions, together with the injury they are ealeul sted to inflict on the character of the service ge nerally, were last night brought under discussion in the House of Commons. It was pr o p er th a t th ey s h ou ld be noticed in Parliament ; and the occasion selected was, of all others, the most appropriate. When calved upon to vote a large sum f rom th e genera l taxa tion of the country in order to provide its means of de fence,fl:pffaueabandonment cdd actually cbo t to7vu w negt o rth, yel a l e ocns f h seos : a rgnhv v snr e e t insignificant at g e t aeni ehornst Constitution, c atoo t sdr ef d o ni seaai dereliction nwrnHygdits oflwunc whichcshi House scruo occurrence, nco, according cb a oi tam, r b mli r ss annn a nsi l l te to the recorded opinion of Sir J. Macdonall, the Ad jutant-General, had reduced an entire regiment, maintained at a heavy ch arge on th e coun try, to in efficiency, arising out of constantly-recurring disputes between the Colonel and the other officers ; thus render ing it unfit to encounter an enemy, should the exigencies of the country require its services in the field, and a re preach to the service while at home. We, therefore, cannot sympathise with those Hon. Members who fat " surprise" and "regret" that such a topic had hem in troduced into the discussion of the army estimates. We should have been much more surprised, and felt much deeper regret, had the occasion been suffered to pass over without alluding to the subject. The ground taken by Mr. Macaulay, in replying to Mr. Hume, by whom the matter was brought forward is, in our view, ebony untenable. It may be true that there gas no thing in any one of the numerous cases of dissatisfac tion and dissension which had occurred in the regi meet to call for a court-martial on Lord Cardigan; sal less for his being placed on hale-pay, which would have been construed into: an expression of strong disapprobation from Head Quarters of his conduct in his command. The former would have required a distinct, tangible charge, founded on an alleged violation of the Articles of War ; the latter would have been to degrade the half-pay list, by using it as a stigma. It would hive been cowardly on the part of the Commander•in-Chief, as though he feared to abide the issue of an inquiry : it would also have been inju• rious to the service, as inflicting reproach and punishment upon an officer, without a preliminary investigation. But there was another course, to which Mr. Ma caulay did net find it convenient to allude, but which appears to us the very. .proceeding which the disturbed and disorganized state of the regiment required should be taken. A court of inquiry should have been ap pointed—the investigation should have been compre hensive and searching. The whole of the Earl of Car digan's conduct in his command—whether at the head of his regiment or presiding at its mess—his tone and bearing towards his officers in their private intercourse, as well as in directing their regimental duties—should have been subjected to the test which, though difficult to define, is perfectly understood by all whose educa tion and habits arc those of gentlemen. (From the Standard.) The debate last night upon the Army Estimates ex hibited the Conservative party in its proper position— and that proper position is always one of honour, always the ground of patriotism. Embroiled as the foreign relations of the country are—whether by an unhappy conjuncture, or by the misconduct of the Government, matters nothing—but embroiled as the foreign relations of the country are, it would be easy for an unprincipled Opposition to defeat any Ministry ; and if such an Opposition were to raise the cry of economy, there is too much reason to fear;that that most mischievous and falltaaious cant would still have influence to ensure them a popular support. We know how the Whigs have uniformly acted in such circumstances, and how in such circum stances a Whig opposition would act again. What is the conduct of the Conservative opposition ? Do they try to embarrass the measures of the Exe cutive in vindication of the national honour, and in making provision for the national safety ? No ; they are found the firm and sincere supporters of the Ministers, whenever the Ministers are found doing their duty by the country—the supporters of Ministers against the most powerful section of the party that keep these Ministers in office—indeed, the only supporters upon whom in such cases the Ministers can confidently rely. But it is said that the Conservatives support Ministers in maintaining the defensive establishments, be cause they (the Conservatives) wish for war. Then it must be confessed that they take a course for the gratification of their wish such as never was taken before for the like purpose ; hitherto it has been thought that preparation for war is the best guarantee of peace. But let the enemies of the empire be the witnesses, and the exposition of their sentiments affords the most unexceptionable testimony. Do they love the Conservatives? Do they take encouragement from the language of Conservative speakers and Conservative writers ? Oh no ! When they would excite rage against this nation they quote the words of the Whig Ministers and Whig journalists. (From the Courier.) The Irish Poor-law Bill is, it seems, being worked for the special uses of the O'Connell and Whig factions in Ireland, a fact which very justly called down the animadversions of the Duke of We'lington yesterday in the Lords, and,, upon the case stated by Lord Glen gall, was even admitted by Lord Normanby himself to be an extremely irregular mode of construing the law. Grave as may, however, be the inculpation and deserving of all reprobation the Poor-law Commissioners for Ireland, we are.compellcd to hold the offence as venial in comparison with that scandalous course of cal culated fraud, pitiless oppression, and unmitigated des potism, by which the English Peor-law, from its first concoction, and through all the phases of its adminis tration since, has been rendered remarkably notori ous. Not one word however escapes their Lordships' House in condemnation of the abominable princi ples on which this unchristian law was constructed, or the kindred spirit in which carried out in England, although when the safety of a Tory vote in Ireland be comes jeopardised by the one-sided action of a Popish Poor-law partisan and valuator, great are the griefs and loud the denunciations about the party damage so surreptitiously inflicted. It is truly limentable, and a portentous exemplification of the degeneracy of the times ; thus to find men of high repute, legislators of acknowledged eminence and desert in all other regards, so painfully sensitive on the lesser ill, whilst wilfully blind and neglectful of the progress of that great run ning sore which is fart spreading over the whole moral and physical face of once bale and happy Eng land, engendered by the ruthless application of the new Poor-':an blister, by which want is inflamed into the most cardinal of diseases, to be cured and killed only by swift depleting regimen in those most pestiferous of gaols known as union workhouses. We might: have hoi,e , l that the Right Rev. the Bishop of London, so eloquent in his place about the scandal and indecency of bats masques and masquerades at Drury-lane, would have reserved some small measure of the overflowings of speech and sentiment for those other performances and enormities perpetrated in union prisons, details of which, so frequent and loathsome, have almost daily filled the columns of the press, bet in which the parts, instead of being cast among French opera artistes and pro.st:tutes, are distributed among assistant Poor-law Commissioners, guardians, workhouse masters, and paupers, the last appearing in the double character of actors and victims. PRESENTATION OF PLATE TO THOMAS SLINOSBY DUNCOMBE, ESQ., FROM A PORTION OF THE COMPANY OF THE TURATRE ROYAL HAYMARKET.—On Thursday morning a deputation, consisting ef Messrs. S. Knowles, B.

LAW REGARDING DUELS, The trial of Captain DOugl a y, th e secon d o f Lord Cardigan, in the duel with Captain Tuckett, hes had a similar result at the Central Criminal Court, to that of the Noble E al' in the House of Peers. Oa this occasion, it may be said, the singular circum stance presented itself of the Judge being counsel both for the prosecution and the prisoner, but not improperly so in either case. We must mention the circumstance only as a very remarkable one. This is only the second trial that has ever taken place for the statutable offence of malicious shooting at the person with intent, &c., in a duel. Lord Cardigan's having been the first, and both have failed, not in con sequence of any doubt thrown upon the sufficiency of the law to punish the offence as felony, but because of defective evidence. A beginning having been made in prosecutions under this statute, nobody hereafter can plead ignorance of the felonious nature of the act cemmitted by fighting a duel, even though neither death nor wound should ensue. It was natural enough that among persons not much a quainted with the laws of their country, an opinion should long have prevailed that a duel, unless it ended in death, was no higher offence than nierels a breach of the peace. The circumstance of no person ever having been prosecuted except for homicide connected with a duel, as in the cases of Bailey, Scott, lienizesey, and others, did crea'e the popular error that there was no Isw or statute against duelling (except as a breach of the peace), unless when death was the con sequence. And then the act came un d er t h e genera l law of murder, which it required no statute to punish, because it is punishable by the unwrit!en or common 1 ew—the indictment for murder not being framed ac cording to any statute, but conf orma bl y w i t h anc i ent precedent, varying only in the statement of the circum stances which are descriptive of the offence. Daring the controversy which we had with some daily journals respecting the acquittal of the Earl of Cardigan, we explained the law of the case, divesting the question as much as possible of the technical lan guage, in order to make it clear to the popular mind. We showed that at any time since the ninth year of George 1., down to the first s ear of Queen Victoria, any person who unlawfully discharged a pistol or any loaded arms at another, with intent to murder, maim, disfigure, or do grievous bodily harm, was liable to be indicted for felony, and, if convicted, hanged. It is only since the first sear of the present Sovereign that the act for which the Earl of Cardigan and Captain Douglas have been tried, has ceased to be a capital felony. This furnishes an additional argument to the many which we have from time to time adduced, and which have been adduced by others against capital enact ments. During upwards of a century, the act of fight ing even a bloodless duel was an offence punishable with death, and it was never prosecuted, but within two or three years after the offence of maliciously shoot ing with intent to murder, disable, &c., ceased to be capital, two prosecutions for felony take place—that felony having consisted in fighting a duel. where death did not ensue, though we cannot call it bloodless, as a slight wound was received. Still the prosecutors treated it as a bloodless duel in law, by not alleging the wound in the indictment. This was done to avoid charging the parties with a capital offence. For if the charge had been sho o ti ng an d wounding with intend to murder, it would have put Lord Cardigan and his second on trial for their lives, that offence being still capital under Lord J. Russell's Act.—Herald. LAW INTELLIGENCE. SHERIFFS' COURT, MARcH 7. CORRIGALL V. LONDON AND DLACKWALL RAILWAY COMPANY. The Jury were specially empanelled for the purpose of awarding compensation to plaintiff for the injury his pro perty had sustained through the construction of the railway. A view of the premises for which claim was made being demanded on the part of the Company, the Jury, at twelve o'clock, left the Court for that purpose, and proceeded t.) the house, No. 82, Lueas-strcet, Commereial-road. They returned about a quarter before two o'clock, and were then sworn, after which the proceedings commenced, Mr Phil lips appearing with Mr. F. Kelly, for plaintiff, and Mr. Biggs for the defendants. Mr. KELLY stated the case for the plaintiff, Mr. Thomas Corrigall, a retired master mariner, who had invested his savings in the purchase of house property, of which the house in question forms a part, and being immediately con tiguous to a viaduct of the railway, by which Lucas-street is intersected, has, through the noise and other nuisances created by the erections and traffic on the railway, become so deteriorated in value, as to render it untenable ; indeed, it would be proved that tEe le , t tenant had left in conse quence. Now, in the Act of 6 and 7 William IV., the 51st clause expressly provides " that any property situated within 50 feet of the railway which might be deteriorated by the construction of the railway, should, of necessity, be purchased by the Compauy," Sc.:. The Jury, therefore, had to consider whether the property had really been injured, and if so what was the value of that lease, of which fifty one years are unexpired, and which is held at a peppercorn rent, and has been let at . lB/. per annum. . . . Evidence was heard in support of the claim, when Mr. Biggs addressed the Jury, and called witnesses, who were of opinion that the property was not impaired by the railway. The,Learned UNDER- SHERIFF summed up, and the Jury after consulting for some time, returned a verdict for the plaintiff, " That the deterioration of the house is perma nent, and the value for which is 2501."

EXTENSIVE SEIZURE OF SPURIOUS „ EA. —Edward Glover, of West Ham, Essex, was prosecuted for having in his possession upwards of 2,000 lbs. weight of fabrica ted ten. The case on the part of the Crown was conducted by P. Mayow, the solicitor of excise, and a gentleman named Johnson represented the interests of the defendant. Thomas Franklin, an officer, stated, that having received a warrant from the Honourable Board of Commissioners to search the defendant's premises, he and ten other per sons proceeded there a short time agn, and discovered an immense quantity of leaves closely resembling China tea. Some of it was in sacks and hampers, and a great portion was lying about for drying, for which purpose the place was fitted up with the necessary stoves and utensil.. They immediately gave notice t] Government of the result of their investigation, aid Mr. Golding Bird, the Surveying Examiner-General of Excise, was ordered to make a fur ther examination. _ Mr. Bird, on being sworn, stated he received possession of eight sacks of the rubbish, which was so fine an imita tion of tea that at first sight any person would have sup posed it to be a genuine article. On testing a sample from each sack, he fund the whole to Le compri.el of black thorn, hats thorn, and fern leaves. Some of these leaves he had opened, and he exhibited some fine specimens to the Court ; the different species were strongly developol Mr. Bird then produced eight samples of the stuff, and mixed them with pure teato the extent of one-half of each. The COURT, on inspecting them, expressed great sur prise, and said that purchasers in general could not dis cover the cheat. Mr. B'sal observed, that be would convince the Tench still further of the extent to which the public were imposed on, and he exhibited various infusions of tea with and with out the rubbish, and the appearance was so good, that any one was liable to bo taken in by it. The COURT was struck with the proofs, and observed, that the poor in particular must have suffered dreadfully by the sale imitation. Mr. Bird said it had had a very great sale amongst tea dealers, he was satisfied. Ho then prcceeded to state that, on seeing Glover, he pointed to the apparatus which contained some leaves quite warm, and asked hint, " What is there?" and he replied, " Oh, that's a secret." Wit• ness told him he would soon unravel the secret, and, having taken a slight view, he told him that the leaves were nothing more than dried cabbage leaves, when he replied, " You are quite right. I make them into Mocha Farina. Soe here, I have some made; it i 3 to be used instead of ceffec. I sell much of i'." Witness asked him whether it did not surprise him that people sse e so easily gulled ? and his answer waa that ha hail found out that he could not carry on so high a game with it now as formerly, and that, at present, Ireland was the best market fur it. He added, that the !eaves first taken away he manufactured entirely himself, but he never sold them as tea; he intended them for the making of Mocha,Freatartieaa, secret t h a h s e t hseho uld t h h e e F nee a fo ri r n t a h cmoamkpeoosifticonabwbaags as cabbage leaves.

Mr. Brd said he had, and it lied a strong smell of tab bage.—( Much laughter.) That, however, was not charg d in the present effence.

The price of hay in the Pas de Calais was never known to be much higher than it is at the present time— fetching, in the towns and neighbourhoods of Boulogne and Calais, quite 41. per ton ; and straw is equally dear. o..ts, also, are worth better than 16r. the rasiere (cr 51 bu shels) , which, taking their ger.erally inferior quality into consideration, is a price lit tle under that of . the midland English markets.

(Continued from The Sun of Saturday.) Michael Shaw Stewart Wallace was again placed at the bar, when Mr. Ja avis then addressed the fury for the prisoner, whose liberty and future prospects were now in their hands. He thank them for the close attention they had already paid to 'he case, but he must entreat them to afford him yet a little more of it, while he attempted to unravel and elucidate the very complicated case which had been laid before acre. In approaching the facts of the case, it was wholly unaeo ssary for him to conjure them to dismiss from their minds every thing which they had heard of this case out of doors. Ile concurred wilt his Learned Friend the Attorney-General in his estimate of the extreme importance of the case. There could be no queStion of it ; it was of vast importance in a commercial country like this ; but inas much as they were all deeply interested in affording the utmost protection to the property of underwriters, all their interests and feeling would naturally be enlisted on the side of the ac cusers ; by so much must they, acting upon their oa Its, sworn as they were to decide the easy upon the eviee ice laid before tham, lay aside all which must have reached them of another ease—they must decide upon the evidence in that case alone, and take no account of any other. He was aware lie was wa-ting time by these cautionary remarks, for his client would be quite safe in the hands of the Jury, under the direction of the Learned Judge who presided. He would then proceed to examine all the evidence which had been offered, and so ex- Vain it as to lead them to a right judgment upon it. There were only two substantial facts, which they must find in the affirmative before they could come to a conviction. They must find that Captain Loose wilfully cast away the vessel—and also that before that was done Michael Wallace procured and incited him to commit the crime. Now the whole of the evidence respecting the loss of the ship depended upon the evidence of Shultz, but he would consider that at a future time. The Learned Gentleman then went into matters of ac count respecting the cost and value of the ship, as detailed in evidence, and sh owe d th a t it amoun t e d, th e premiums forin surance having beets added, to 2,9501. ; the insurances amounted to 3,2001. He would ask, was that any ex treme margin for a merchant to reserve, in order to save himself harmless in case of less? Would not his expected profit amount to that? Was that a statement of facts upon which they could find that such an overvalue had been put upon the ship as to induce them to suppose a foregone conclusion to lose the ship ? Why, it was a fact that the most respectable merchants in London were in the habit of acting in the same manner every day. Then, as to the insurances upon freight, the Learned Gentleman showed its value to be between 1,400/. and 1,500/., while the amount insured was only 1,600/. But he would ask if his client had determined to lose the ship, would he have selected the most eminent and respectable brokers to effect the insurances? Could he not in this city have found out some discharged servant from some respectable office, who would have lent himself as a miserable tool in order to save his principal for some pittance ? csoes not act in this way ; but, on the contrary, lie employs in,sn who, if the offices themselves were quiescent under any sus picion of fraud, who must, for the sake of their own honour and character have instituted the most searching inquiries. What was the conduct of Michael Wallace all through ? He charters a ship in such a manner as entailed the necessity of the presence of an agent on board. He selects the port of Liverpool, where there is the most vigilant watch kept up by the Customs. He selects that port in preference to many in the country, where he might have been comparatively at liberty to do as he pleased. Was that the conduct of a man who had conspired to lose the ship ? He would then come to the goods. It was said that many were insured which had never been put on board. If so, was is not strange that the Captain should sign bills of lading, and that premiums should bo paid for goods not on board ? But what was the evidence ? The whole of the policies put in upon goods were effected by Patrick Wallace, and as against Michael Wallace were as mere waste paper, unless he could be connected with them in some way. All the policies were effected by Stott for Patrick ; it was not in evidence that he ever saw Michael, all was done for Patrick, and although he alledged that - it was for Michael, he gave no authority for it—none was proved ; there fore, these policies were those - of Patrick alone. It was clear that such was the case, because it was in evidence that when Patrick wanted to make his claim upon the Maritime, and wished to have some papers which were in possession of his brother, he bribed a clerk to get the very document which, if Michael were guiltily concerned, he would have given up at once. Then again, they wished to connect Michael with the fraud, because part of the proceeds came into his hands. Well then, let him look at how that was. There was, first, the cheque from the Maritime for 1,1021., that was given to Patrick, and it was paid into the account of Patrick, with the London and Westminster Bank. With that Michael had nothing to do. The balance of the Maritime was 253/. Stott deducted 531. for his brokerage, so that he received 2001. which was paid to Patrick, and it was afterwards traced to Michael. But was that not naturally and easily explained? They were living together with their father. Michael had money, and he lent his younger brother some in order to fuether his inter ests, and he pays him the two hundred pounds. Was it any wonder that it should be part of the money so received?—The next insurance was that effected by Stott, by the direction of Patrick on a paper in the handwriting of Patrick, vouched afterwards by a bill of lading in the handwriting of Patrick, though in the name of Michael. That last ' circumstance could not militate against Michael, for the use of a man's name by a third party cannot injuriously affect him. The only insurance that could affect Michael was that on the Neptune, for a sum of 687/. in the Mutual Indemnity, because that was the only one for which he had given directions. That policy was for tierces of beef, barrels of pork, and firkins of butter. It was contended that that insurance was a fraudulent one, on the authority of the delaration of the Captain. The Captain in his declaration, which, it was alleged, was the true criterion of what was on board, made no mention of these goods. But that circumstance was not conclusive against the prisoner, for it has been clearly shown that Captain Loose had omitted in his declaration other articles which unquestionably were on board. It had been proved by Mr. Kelly and Mr. Maxwell that there were on board several kegs of paint and hardware, and yet in the declaration there was not . a word about them. The declaration, therefore, was altogether inconclusive on the subject, and could not prove fraud on the part of the prisoner. An inference was attempted to be drawn against the prisoner, from the fact of his having absconded when the charge had been made against his brother. He had no doubt absconded, but it had been shown that he was at the time in embarrassed circumstances, and he might also have been unwilling to appear as a witness against his brother. Such a feeling would not be unnatural in any one. With regard to the fact of the wife of the prisoner having gone to her father-in-law's and left her house unprotected, it only showed extreme timidity and imprudence on her part. The Learned Gentleman then passed to the circumstances which accompanied the loss of the vessel. He contended that there was no evi dence to show that the vessel had been intentionally lost by the Captain. The statements of subordinate officers in such cases could not be relied on, and it would be found that they would be all ready to criminate their superiors. When a shtp was lost, there would be always some one to blame, and parties would endeavour to shift the fault from themselves. There might have been a want of caution on the part of the captain, but there was no evidence of a design on his part to lose the vessel. At the time the crew came first in sight of the reef the captain was in bed, and only came up when the mate told him of the circumstance. It should be observed that when the sailors arrived at the port, they made no charge against the captain : which they would have done under the irritation of 'the moment had they been persuaded of any unfair inten tions on his part. The only evidence that could show that the vessel had been designedly stranded was that of Shultz ; and . without that evidence the case would be wholly unsupported. But that witness had before perjured himself on his own showing for the recovery of a debt of 41. 12s. 3d. ; and if he had already sold himself for that paltry sum lie might be again accessible to corruption. On the evidence of Shultz they could not—they dare not act ; for he had stood before them a self-convicted perjurer. Without that evidence there might be circumstances in the case to excite suspicion ; but on sus picion alone the Jury could not find the prisoner guilty. With out the evidence of Shultz they could have no certainty of the loss of the ship by stranding ; and that testimony, he repeated, could not justify a verdict unfavourable to his client. A Juryman expressed a wish to put a question to Shultz, but it was found that that witness was not in attendance. The Cou AT then retired for a few minutes. On its re-entry Chief-Justice TINDAL proceeded to charge the Jury. The prisor.er, he said, was indicted for a felony, which was no longer a capital offence, but which would be att en d e d with the most serious consequences, if he should be found guilty of it. They would, he was sure, discharge their duty on the occasion with their usual zeal and attention. The charge against the prisoner was that of having engaged a per son named Edward Loose, the Captain of the Dryad, wilfully to cast that vessel away for the purpose of defrauding either the part-owners in the ship, or certain underwriters. The Jury in deciding on the case would have three things to consider; first, whether the Captain had wilfully cast away the vessel ; secondly, whether he had done so with a view to defraud ether parties ; thirdly,—and it was the principal consideration as regarded the prisoner—whether the Captain had been induced by him to commit the act. The Learned Judge then went through the evidence in great detail ; and concluded by leaving the case in the hands of the Jury. If they had any doubts on their minds as to any of the points he bad referred to, they should give the prisoner ,the benefit of that doubt. At 20 minutes to six o'clock the Jury retired to consider their verdict, and after an absence of nearly two hours and a half returned into Court. The prisoner was again placed at the bar, and the names of the Jury having been called over, the Foreman stated that they had agreed to a verdict, finding the prisoner Guilty. - The prisoner seas then ordered to be called up for judgment. Mr. 13aLwrrnia reminded the Court that there had been a point of law reserved for the opinion of the twelve Judges, and wished to know if under those circumstances his Lordship would pass sentence ? Chief Justice TINDAL said he should pass sentence on both prisoners at once. The point of law might be argued here after, and if it was decided in their favour they would have the benefit of such decision. The two prisoners, Patrick and Michael Wallace, were e en pliced at tl4e bar, and asked in the usual form if they had a .y -thing to say why the Court should not give them judgment. Chief Justice TINDAL then addrescd them to the following effect Prisoners, you have both of you been found guilty by a Jury of your countrymen, after a foil arid patient investi gaiion of your respective cases, of the offence of inducing Cap tain Loose to cast away the ship Dryad, with intent to defraud the underwriters. lam bound to say that lam perfectly sa tisfied with the verdicts which have been returned. Your offence is one of great enormity, particularly in a commercial country like thi; ' where security to p ro p erty sent to d i stant parts would no longer exist, if insurances on such property were not effected, and protected by law." After some further observations, the Learned Judge sentenced both the prisoners to be transported for the term of their natural lives. Mr. CLA RKSON applied to have the money, which had been found in the possession, or under the control of the prisoners, given up to the underwriters. Chief Justice TINDAL said he would consider of the appli cation. The prisoners, who turned extremely pale on hearing the sen'ence, were then removedf mom the dock. (NEW COURT.) John Clarke, a respectable young man, was indicted for stealing a piece of bacon, of the value of threepence, the property of Thomas Hutchinson. The prisoner, a re spec.able ceffee-housekeeper in Tabernacle-square, hav ing been admitted to bait, surrendered to take his trial. Mr. Phillips defended him. The prosecutor stated that be is a cheesemenger in Pit -64i-street, and knew the prisoner, who had been in the habit of dealing at his shop. He came on the day in question, when he took the piece of bacon now in Court. He was subjected to a rigid cross-examination by Mr. Phi!. HP`, when his testimony appeared to be unsatisfactory in malty respects. Ho said that if the prisoner took th e bicon, it lay under his nose, and he could not help but have scan him. He admivei, too, that there had been a dispute between him and the prisoner. In the midst of the inquiry the Learned Judge (the Recorde, ) stopped the case, and appealed to the Jury as to whether they would convict upon the unsupported testi mony of the prosecutor? The Jury said they were satisfied, and emphatically rc- . turn rid. a verdict or Acquittal. Mr. Puiwes said he was able to prove that the young man at the bar was a highly respectable person, and had a host of wi . ..nessi.ss in Court to prove that fact. John Job Jeavcs, a respectable young man, an estite agent, was indicted that he, on the 24th of May, 1839, receive d the sum of 5/. ss. on account of John Hayes, to whom he was then a servant, and that he afterwards em bezzled and stole the sum of 3/. 13s. 6d., part of the said money. Mr. Clarkson defended the prisoner, and Mr. Phillips brig fl stated the case for the prosecution. Villiers Stewart, Esq., M.P. (who was on the Bench), stated that on the 24± of May, 1839, he called at the office of Mr. Hayes, and paid live guineas to the prisoner, who gave him the receipt produced. 'At the time witness made the paymek:t, ha remarked to the :prisoner that the charge was higher than he had ever before paid for similar business. John Hayes, the prosecutor, was then called, and gave the following evidence :—I live at No. 32, Bond-street, and am a house agent. In May, 1839, the prisoner was my clerk, and was authorised to receive money on my ac count; and it was his duty to pay it over ,to me as he re ceived it. Ile left my servi..e in December of the same year. Ile never accounted to me for the :Aim of 3/. 13 , . 6d,, part cf the 5/. 55., received by him of Mr. Villiers Stewart. After he left my Feriice I saw him upon the subject of this money ; and he said he never received it. This was in the early part of 1840. Cross-examined—What mere the state of your cir cumstances in the year 1839 2—ln the latter pert of that year they were embarrassed. I became em barrassed, because other embarrassed people did not pay me. In Oct .iber of that year (1839), I had some executions against me ; but they were against my person, and not in my house. Ido nut know whether the exe cutions were ca. ses., or fi. fee. —( A laugh.) Mr. CLARKSON—You know the distinction very well. Had you never an execution in your house? Witness-- Oh, yes, once ; it took, me five days to pay it out. I had another also in, but I cannot tell how long; but I swear it was not in logger than two months. The pri soner brought an action against me about June, 1840 ; and after that I applied to the Court of Queen's Bench to enter an action for libel against him. The prisoner set up business within a quarter of a mile from me on the Mon day after he left me on the SAurday. He had his books prepared ready for business before he *left me. At that time I was in the Rules of the Fleet Prison. I went into the Rules on the 18th or 19th of May, and on the Monday following I paid 155/ I took the Rules two days after I was committed to the Fleet, and a day-rule on the first day of term. I was advised by a profes sional man to go into the Rules, and I remained there until the following September. The prisoner never paid me a shilling while I was in the Rules. I t)ok day Rules and went to him. There was nn execu tion against me from a person of the name of Harrington, but it was not these more than three months. The pri soner brought his action against me for a supposed arrear o r salary. I know Sir G. Fowler, and I received the rent of le house for him, and perhaps it was four months before I pad it over. The prisoner never told me while I was away that the money had been applied for. I let a house for a person of the name of Davis, and received 701., and was sued for the money a month afterwards. The action was non-prossed. I did not pay the money by going to prison, but by instalments. I paid 40/. of the money I received at thi - ee and six months, but I have paid nothing since June 1840. 1 know Admiral Douglas, who sits on the Bench. I let a house for him, and received the rent. When applied to by him (Admiral Douglas), I did not send word that the money was in the Stocks, and that I should suffer great loss to sell out. I let a house for Mr. Bell, in Burlington-street. I received the rent and ac counted fo • it. I paid Admiral Douglas his rent within a month after I received it. He did not employ an attor ney that I know of. The witness was then questioned about premises he had let for Sir J. Cust and others, and his answers gave rise to several other questions respecting them, evidently to test the credit of the witness's testimony. Mr. CLARKSON said he wanted to know how many executions he had had against him during the period under review, and give the names of several persons seriatim, consisting of bakers, bricklayers, farriers, stable-keepers, servants, &c., &c. _ The witness at first could not recollect, but after wards admitted the facts, but he said he disputed many of the claims. COMMON- SJIRGEANT-013, then all these claims were disputed. The witness proceeded to state that he was sued by his late servant for wages, after he went to live in the prison, and that he paid the debt. I know a person of the name of Hendry, who was a fellow-prisoner in the Fleet. I let him some back rooms for him to put some furniture in, before he took the benefit of the Act. He (Hendry) was not remanded by the Commissioners for fraud. Some thing was said by them about other furniture, which they said must be given up. After Hendry had filed his petition, he agreed to give me 301. for six months for rooms to put furniture in. _ _ Mr. CLARKSON—WhiIe you were in execution in the Fleet, did you not become bail for a person ?—No ; it was for a person after I came out, for, I think, 401. Thomas Haines stated, that he is clerk to the prose cutor, and that he called upon the prisoner respecting the accounts between him and Mr. Stuart and others. He said he knew nothing about them. Cross-examined by Mr. Clarkson—Six years ago I was in partnership with Mr. Hayes, the prosecutor, in Conduit.. street, but have since become his clerk. Witness had been in prison ten months before he took the benefit of the Act. Remained there so long in the hope of settling with his creditors. I was not remanded flr fraud. By Mr. PHlLLlps—There is no pretence fvr such an in sinuation. Mr. Inspector Beresford stated that he went with the prosecutor to the prisoner's house, when Mr. Hayes said that he gave him in charge for embezzling five guineas, which he had received of Mr. Villiers Stuart. The pri soner was near enough to have heard the charge made, but he inquired of witness afterwards respecting it. The case for the prosecution having closed, Mr. Clark son addressed the jury for the defence. When the Foreman of the Jury rose, and said, "My Lord, we are agreed ;" and to the formal question put by the Clerk, he said, " We find a verdict of Not Guilty." As soon as the verdict was returned the audience, who had heard the whole evidence, testified their approval of it by plaudits, which were suppressed by the officers. George Arnold, aged 26, Jane Galloway, aged 40, and Charlotte Davis (who surrendered), aged 20, wore in dicted for stealing a bank note of the value of 2001., the property of Charles Prior, and William Arnold, aged 27, was charged with being an accessory before the fact of the said felony. Mr. Adolphus stated the case for the prosecution, and Messrs. Phillips, Prendergast, Payne, Ballantine, and Doane defended the prisoners. The care occupied several hours, in consequence of the prisoners severing their de fences. The evidence in effect was that the prosecutor being in company with the prosecuted, exhibited a 200/. note at a public-house, which it was alleged G3orgc Arnold got posEcision of, and substituted a hl. note for it, the other prisoners being patios to the robbery. The Jury found the two men guilty, and acquitted the female prisoners. George declared that his brother was innocent, but he admitted his own guilt. The Court sen tenced George to seven year's transportation, and William to one ear's imprisonment. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT...-HEATFORD, MAnca 6. Tho business of this assizo concluded last night at ten o'clock. The eausc-list was gone through by the early part of the day, and Lord Denman then assisted Mr. Baron Parke in disposing of the oases of felony. (Before Mr. Baron PARKE.) James Bowler, 33, was indicted for feloniously, wilfully, and maliciously damaging a steam-boiler, of the value of one hundre , l pounds, the property of Frederik Arthur Magnay and another, with intent feloniously to render the same useless. Mr. CHAMBERS st ated the case, and then called the fol lowing witnesses. Mr. Frederick A. Magnay said, he carried on the busi ness of a paper manufactu'er, in partnership with his bro ther, Mr. Charles Magnay, at Mill-end, in the parish of Rickmansworth, and the prisoner had been in his service, and his duty was to,look after a steam-engine, employed in the precess of the manufacturing of paper. The prisoner had directions never to raise the steam higher than to a pressure of seven pounds on the square itch, as the boiler was not calculated to sup port more with safety, and the valves would blow toff when the stem exceeded that strength, if they were not confined. On the 13th February, in conse quence of information he received, he wCnt to the engine, and found that the boiler was completely useless, the bot tom having fallen out. Witness then examined the safety valves, and he found that one was prevented from acting in consequence of a leaden phlango or weight being in serted in it. The other valve was open, but the effect of of one being confined was, that:a great deal more steam would be generated in the boiler than it was calculated to bear, and this no doubt caused it to burst. Upon examining the cord of the steam guage, which denoted the power of the steam in the boiler, adjoining the one destroyed, lie discovered that a cord was tied in it, to prevent it from acting properly, so that it would deceive any one as to the real quantity of steam that was generated. He asked the prisoner, who was present, what power of steam was in that boiler, and he replied, " seven pounds to the inch." Witness untied the knot, and it immediately denoted eight pounds instead of seven, and he then said to the prisoner, " You villain, you aro not content with ruining one boiler, but you aic tryin,g to destroy this also." The prisoner admitted having tied a knot in the guage of the engine that was destroyed, and witness discharged him imme diately, and he walked away with a kind of sneer. Upon closer examination, the boiler was discovered to be totally destroyed, and required eighty or a hundred pounds to replace it. George Tufrey, a labourer in the prosecutor's employ, proved that he had seen the prisoner on several occasions tie up the cord of the steam-guage, and put a weight on the safety valve, and be did so on the day before the boiler burst, and he had no doubt this was the occasion of it, and that the prisoner had told him he was glad the accident had had happened. Mr. Baron PARKE expressed his opin'on that the facts did not make out the felonious charge imputed to the pri soner. There could be no doubt that he had acted very negligently, and imprudently ; but it appeared probable that be had no other object than to save himself the trouble of being in constant attendance upon the fire, and there was no proof that he intended to destroy the boiler. The Jury accordingly returned a verdict of Not Guilty. Henry Tweed, aged 20, and William Greggs, aged 25, were indicted for having, with other persons, entered a wood, at Great Anwell, belonging to Edward Chuck, E:9., armed with guns and other weapons, in pursui , of game, and with having violently assaulted, on the - 7th November, three gamekeepers, named Talbot, Hailock and Baker. The Jury found Tweea Guilty,. and acquitted Griggs. 'The same prisoners were then charged Upon - another in: dietment with a similar offonce, which was ecwly ma' out and they were both f: - .und Mr. Baron PARKE inquired if the vrisoners score ktowil and he was informed by the gaoler that Tweea bad b eep .. n seven times, and Griggs, five times summarily connote,' 0" poaching.
