ARCHES COURT. THE ST. ALBAN'S RITUAL CASE.-MARTIN V. MACKONOCHIE. It being az ranged that the arguments in this case should be proceeded with to-day, Dr. Travers Twiss and Dr. Robertson, in lieu of the new Dean of Arches, who had formerly been counsel in the case, took their seats on the bench. Mr. A. J. Stephens, Q.C., Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., Dr. Swabey, and Mr. Droop appeared for the pro moter of the suit. Mr. Mackonochie was repre sented by Mr. W. M. James, Q.C., Mr. 'Prideaux, Q.C., Dr. Tristram, and Mr. Charles. The charges against Mr. Mackonochic, as amended, arc four :-1. The elevation of the host ; 2, lighted candles on the altar at the time of the administration of the Holy Communion ; 3, The use of incense ; 4, Mixing water with the wino at Communion. The question of the Eucharistic vestments is not raised. Mr. James, Q.C., in the first instance, asked the commission appointing the judges might be read. This having been done, the learned gentleman objected to the formation of the court, and con tended that the Dean of Arches had no right to dele gate his powers, and, therefore, the court had no jurisdiction in the matter. Mr. Prideaux followed on the same side. Mr. J. Stephens, for the promoter of the suit, also objected to the constitution of the Court, as great difficulty might arise in the event of the trial resulting in a division of opinion arising on the 1264 127j1 I bench. Dr. Robertson said, should such an eventuality arise, he, as junior judge, would more than likely withdraw his judgment. Dr. Travers Twiss said the objection by both parties had taken him by surprise. He thought the best course to pursue was to overrule the objection under protest. This would give time for the opinion of the judges of the Court of Queen's Bench being taken, and in order that that course might be adopted, be would adjourn the proceedings there until that day fortnight. • CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

Henry Turner was indicted for assaulting the police, while in the execution of their duty, and also for assaulting them with a view to effect the rescue of Alice Turner. It will be recollected that the prisoner, with about one hundred roughs, were in waiting outside the Clerkenwell Sessions' house when the van drove up to receive the prisoners, who had been sentenced by the Court. As the woman was stepping into the van the prisoner caught bold of her, and called upon the crowd to aid in a rescue. Tho police re pelled the attack, and succeeded in defeating the object of the prisoner, but not till they had been violently assaulted. They also succeeded in captur ing the prisoner. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and the Court sentenced him to 12 months' imprisonment with hard labour. George Francis pleaded guilty to a charge of bigamy, but alleged that the second wife was aware of the second marriage. . _ _ The Court sentenced him to one month's impri sonnient. THE MANCHESTER SPECIAL COM MISSION. MANCHESTER, Monday. The assize appointed to be holden under a special commission for the trial of the 26 men who have been committed on the charge of murdering Police sergeant Brett, during the attack on the police van, on the 18th of September, which resulted in the liberation of (Colonel) Kelly and (Captain) Deasoy, commenced this morning at ten o'clock, at which hour Mr. Justice Blackburn and Mr. Justice Mellor, accompanied by Mr. Thomas Dicconson, high sheriff, entered the Crown Court and took their seats on the bench. The prisoners were brought over from the New "Tel • police van escorted by a numerous body of military, consisting of two detachments of the Bth Hussars and several companies of the 72d Highlanders. On the van itself were six policemen armed with re volvers. A large crowd followed the escort, bid no manifestation of feeling took place. A strong guard of police were on duty in court and also outside the assize hall, a limited number of whom were armed with revolvers. Sentries of the 72d Highlanders were mounted in the corridors. As has been stated, the Attorney-General (Sir J. B. Karslake), Mr. Higgin, the deputy recorder for Manchester, and Mr. Hannen appeared to conduct the case on behalf of the Crown ; Mr. Rigby Sey mour, Q.C., Mr. Sergeant O'Brien, Mr. Cottingham, and Mr. Ernest Jones appeared for the defence. The grand jury, with Sir Robert Tolvey Gerard, Bar`., as their foreman, having been sworn, Mr. Justice Blackburn proceeded to charge the grand jury. His lordship said they had on the present occasion been called together by a special commission issued by her Majesty, which differed from the ordinary commissions in one respect only. They were aware that in general, when criminal trials came on, the commission issued was to try all crimes committed within the county, but the present commission was specially confined to such crimes as arose out of, or were in any way con nected with, the outrage perpetrated on the 18th of September. In the present case, therefore, they would have only to inquire into the crimes arising out of that transaction. When the evidence was brought before them they would find beyond all doubt that, on the 18th September, two prisoners amongst others were brought up in custody before the magistrates, and that those two prisoners were conveyed in the usual way along the streets in a police van. There had been some reason to appre hend that an attempt would be made to rescue the prisoners, and the number of police accompanying the van was increased, but no one suspected that such an attack as afterwards took place would be made. The place selected for the purpose of mak ing this attack was chosen with considerable skill. Those who witnessed the attack might differ as to the number of the assailants, but there could be no doubt that the van was attacked by a considerable number for the purpose of rescuing the prisoners, an attempt in which they succeeded. During this attack there was a considerable number of pistol shots fired, and the police were struck and beaten with stones. Two policemen were wounded by pistol shots, and another, Charles Brett, was killed by a pistol shot, and the principal crime which they would have to inquire into were the circcumstances attending the death of Charles Brett, and how far the prisoners were guilty of the murder of that man. The grand jury would see that there were a variety of crimes committed. There was the attempt to rescue, which proved success ful, of two prisoners in lawful custody—itself a grave and dangerous crime. There was, moreover, the assault on the police in the execution of their duty, shots being fired at them, which took effect in the case of two of them —which in itself constituted a very grave crime. But the great crime was the causing the death of Charles Brett, whose case they would principally investigate. That being so, the remarks he would address to them would be confined to affording them assistance in the investigation of the circumstances attending that crime. The learned judge detailed the circumstances attending the attack on the van, stating that there could be no doubt that, in consequence of Brett, in pursuance of his duty, refusing to give up the keys, the ven tilator having been forced open, he was fired at and shot in the head. He must point out to them that though the man who fired the shot was the person who actually committed the crime, yet every person aiding and assisting was equally guilty of the crime of murder as the person who fired the shot ; and the point to which the grand jury would principally have to direct their attention would be whether, in the case of each prisoner, there was evidence suffi cient to satisfy them that he was aiding and assist ing in the murder of Brett. They would bear in mind that it was not essential, in order to constitute the crime of murder, that the main object should be to kill a particular individual. Murder was to kill with malice aforethought, which did not mean that there should be an intention to kill the particular man. The law had always been held to be that where, for the purpose of accomplishing an unlawful act, violence known to be dangerous to human life was used, and death ensued, then that constituted the crime of murder. Wherever persons agreed, either tacitly or in express terms, that they would, for the purpose of performing au unlawful act, assist each other under circumstances leading to the conclusion that dangerous violence would be used, then all concerned in that general design were equally guilty of murder with the person who com mitted the act itself. Taking that ai the direction of the law, and applying it to the present case, they could have no great• difficulty in seeing the points to which they would have to direct their attention. When they found a body of persons assembled together;and attacking the police guard ing the van, and rescuing the prisoners, there could be no reason to doubt that every man who was con cerned in that attack was a party to the unlawful design of rescuing prisoners. Then, again, the very fact that there was a scheme to attack the police was, in itself, strong evidence that there was an intention to use dangerous violence, for it was scarcely possible for any man to conceive that he could attack the police while in the execution of their duty and that no resistance would be made on their part. He might tell them that there would be nothing illegal or improper in joining all, or two or more, in ono bill. The learned judge, in con clusion, impressed upon the gentlemen of the grand jury to consider the matters that would come before them calmly, deliberately, and dispassionately, with out any influence either one way or the other. The grand jury having retired to consider their bills, Mr. Digby Seymour, Q.C., rose and said he had to apply to their lordships for a postponement of the trial until the following morning. He and his learned friends who appeared with him had been so recently instructed that they felt that they should not do justice to the persons fur whom they ap- peared if the trial were to proceed that day. The only object that the Crown could have was that a fair and impartial trial should take place. He was perfectly satisfied that not alone the ends of justice, but the economy of public time, which, after all, was a consideration in the administration of justice, would be considered by their lordships granting his application. Mr. Justice Blackburn said it was impossible to form any decision upon the proposal until after a bill had been found by the grand jury. He did not know what prisoners night be included in the bill, nor were they aware what course the counsel for the prosecution proposed to take. The grand jury, after the lapse of an hour and a half, returned into court, when Sir H. T. Gerard, the forem an, handed in true bills against William O'Meara Allen, Michael Larkin, William Gould, Thomas Maguire, and Edward Shaw. Thereupon the Clerk of the Crown directed that these five pri soners should be placed in the dock. This having been done, the Clerk of the Crown read over to each of the prisoners the indictment charging them with " having, at Manchester, on the 18th Sept., 1867, feloniously, wilfully, and of their malice afore thought, killed and murdered one Charles Brett ;" and in reply to the question, "Are you guilty or not guilty ?" addressed severally to the prisoners by this official, they one and all replied in a firm voice, " Not guilty." The prisoners wear a pale look than when examined before the magistrate. Mr. D. Seymour renewed his application for a postponement of the trial until the following morn ing, adding a request that the counsel for the pri soners might be furnished with a copy of the jury panel. Mr. Justice Blackburn—For whom do you appear, Mr. Seymour ? Mr. Seymour—l appear, my lord, for Allen, Larkin, and Maguire. Mr. Sergeant O'Brien said he appeared for Gould and Shaw. Mr. Justice Blackburn said he shguld like to hear what the Attorney-General had to say with refer ence to the application of Mr. Seymour. moment oppose the application of his learned friend if their lordships thought the application was one which ought to be granted. After the declaration of his learned friend that they had not had time to consider the depositions satisfactorily, it would be unfair on his part to resist the application. With regard to the jury panel, that was not a matter with which he had to do. Mr. Justice Blackburn did not think there could be any objection to supply the information as to the panel,though it might not he practicable to giro it at the present moment. The panel was limited as to number, and they had directed that additional jurymen should be summoned. If the learned counsel were furnished with a copy of the panel now he might afterwards see who in addition had been summoned. The Attorney-General trusted that if the trial were postponed till tonmorrow morning, no technical otjections would then be taken or any delay offered to the trial proceeding. Mr. Justice Blackburn suggested that the learned counsel engaged on both sides should consult as to the course which it would be most convenient to take. He would suggest that his learned brother and himself should sit together to try the prisoners who had just been arraigned, and that, having decided any points of law which might be raised, they should then sit in separate courts in order to try the subsequent indictments. The only point for the Crown to consider was whether, having two courts sitting, the same witnesses might not be re quired at one time in both courts. The Attorney-General said lie would consult with his learned friends, and endeavour to place the witnesses in such order as to obviate that difficulty. Mr. Seymour said in addition to being furnished with a copy of the panel he should like also to have access to the jurors' book. Mr. Justice Blackburn—What do you want with the jurors' book? Mr. Seymour—We should like to have an op portunity of considering whether there may not be some objection to the array of jurors. Your lord ship may rely upon it that we shall raise no objec tion which is not grounded upon constitutional principles. Mr. Justice Blackburn said he was under the im pression that the list of persons qualified as j urors was a public list made out by the overseers, which any person might see, and to order a particular book to be delivered seemed to him to be beyond the power of the Court. Mr. Seymour said that if copies were to be had from any source that was all he required. Mr. Justice Blackburn understood that, practi cally, the lista were printed by the overseers, and there could be no difficulty in seeing them. As far as the jury book was concerned, it might at any time be inspected. It was at present at Preston, but the trial would be postponed till to-morrow, and in the meantime every facility would be afforded the learned counsel for the inspection of the jury book. A copy of the panel was then handed to Mr. Sey. mour, and the trial was postponed till to-morrow morning at nine o'clock. Tho prisoners were conveyed back to the New Bailey under the same escort as accompanied the police van iu the morning, followed by an immense multitude of people. THE REFORM LEAGUE AND FENIANISM. A meeting of the Exetor branch of the Reform League has just been held, at which the following resolution was unanimously adopted: "Resolved, That this meeting, while pledging itself to do everything lawful and legiti mate for the redress of the grievances of Ireland, cannot but express its horror and utter abhorrence o! the course pursued by those misguided men calling thpluselves Feniane. This meeting also very much regrets the opinions expressed by certain members of the council of the Reform League, as reported in the London papers."

Morris, solicitor, of No. 49, Leicester-square, accompanied by a gentleman, waited upon Mr. Tyrwhitt, and said that the gentleman, his client, being desirous of obtaining an advance of £4,000, and seeing an advertisement iu a paper in which a person, residing at No. 61, Piccadilly, professed to lend money at 4 per cent., called upon the person with the view of obtaining the amount he required, and gave hint as near as possible the particulars of the security he proposed to offer for the time, a.id these were pronounced to be satisfactory as far as could be told at the time. The person ultimately offered to advance his client some few hundreds in case he would require the money, and his solicitor approved the security offered. On the faith of these representations, and in the full belief that the per son had the necessary means at his command, his client handed him a cheque upon his bankers for ten pounds, which was duly paid, the person insisting on that amount as a pre liminary fee towards defraying the expenses of the loan. Some time afterwards his client again called upon the person, who asked him what he would agree to pay him in the event of his succeeding in its completion, and asked him if he would give £25 down and a promise of £75, which he agreed to do; and he gave the person• a promissory note or bill of exchange for £25, payable on the Ist of Novem ber, and signed an agreement to pay the £75 on the completion of the advance. Finding that little or no progress was being made by the person to complete, he called on his solicitors; and, in conse quence of the opinion they gave, and information that had subsequently been received by his client, he (Mr. Morris) was instructed to ask his worship's advice in the matter. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he could not do anything iu the matter, but he thought - publicity being given to the application might be attended with a good result.

DARING ROBBERIES OF CIIURCRES.—A Lancashire man, about 30 years of age, giving his name John Donnolly, was charged under the following circum stances : The prisoner is at present a ticket-of-leave man. Three years ago he was charged, in company with his brother, at this court with stealing the copper wire guards which protect the stained windows of Westminster Abbey. They were found in posses sion of an apparatus consisting of a three-jointed rod, long cord; and hooks by which the latter were fixed upon the top of external wire work, while a handle at the other end of the cord enabled them to pull it down, however firmly fixed. It was stated that by these means, prisoners had robbed a vast number of churches throughout the country. Pri soner and his brother were both convicted and sen tenced to penal servitude for four years. George Epsom, 119 B, said that between 7 and 8 last night he saw the prisoner in company with another man, each carrying a large bundle. Sus p.Tting that something was wrong witness followed them from Brewers-green into Dacre-street, West minster, where they entered a house. "Witness fol lowed, and after a great struggle the man iu com pany with the prisoner escaped, after throwing the constable heavily on the ground. On the spot two parcels containing a number of copper wire guards for church windows, neatly hammered up into a small compass, and weighing very heavy, were found. Police-constable 102 B proved being called by the previous witness, and endeavouring to take the second prisoner, who escaped Mr. Arnold—ls there any owner for the property, or any part of it ? Inspector Troughbridge—No doubt there will be; it is from church windows, probably in the country —Berkshire or further. Prisoner wa,s remanded for eight days. THAMES. AN INCORRIGIBLE THIEF. —Maria Russell, alias Connor, alias Hiscock, and with many other aliases, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with steal- P PituV ci n t Ni *Mak% %%R N! street, Whitechapel. The prisoner, an elderly Irishwoman, is a vendor of a delicacy in great repute in the classic regions of Whitechapel, namely, trotters, but she had not been content with the profits of that lucrative busi ness, but has added one of an illegal nature, pot stealing, to it. She has been summarily convicted of concealing pewter pots beneath her legitimate stock on six or seven occasions, and on the 2d of the present month Mr. Benson convicted her, and sentenced her to 14 days' imprisonment and hard labour, and Warned her that the next time she was charged with a similar offence she would be committed for trial. Unmindful of the warning of the learned magistrate she recom menced her depredations last night. She was passing the station-house in Leman-street, IVhitechapel, with her basket containing trot ters on her arm. A police-constable named Robert Ryves, No. 61 11, who was stand ing at the door of the station " thought the trotter basket looked suspicious," and inspected it. There was a dozen of trotters at one end of the basket, and at the other, covered with paper, two pots, a quart, and a pint. The woman assumed the ut most horror and astonishment at the discovery, and said " The Ould Devil" slid into her basket and put them there. Mr. William Goodge, of the Half Moon and Punch Bowl, identified the pots, which he valued at 45., and said the prisoner was in his house at half-past 12 last night. Mr. Selfe—At half-past 12 this morning, you mean. Mr. Goodge—Yes, sir. I have missed many pots lately, and have missed them after her visits. The Prisoner—lt was the dhrop taken, yer hunner's wortehip. Ryves—She was quite sober, your worship. Police-sergeant Fry, A, R, said the prisoner was an incorrigible thief. The Prisoner—Don't believe him. Mr. Selfe—l do believe him. Prisoner—Sittle it here, ycr hunner's wortchip, and be merciful to me a pour ould woman. Mr. Selfe—No ; you are a notorious thief, only recently come out of prison. You are committed for trial.

THE OUTRAGE IN BURTON CRESCENT [The following appeared in our Latest Edition of yestor day erening.l John Skates was charged before Mr. Vaughan, this afternoon, with having committed a violent assault upon Police:constable Saunders, E division who, it will be remembered, was brutally ill-usea on Sunday morning, the 20th inst., at the entrance to a mews leading out of Burton-crescent, and who still lies iu a very precarious state in the Hunter street police-station. Air. Superintendent Searle said that this was the case of a man in•his division who was stabbed and shot on Sunday morning, the 20th inst. The con stable was too unwell to appear or to take any evi dence from him, and this fact the divisional surgeon was there to prove. Several suspicious circum stances had come to his knowledge which had in duced him to have this man searched for ; and after some difficulty he was taken last night. Ho should, after a little evidence, ask the magistrate to grant a remand. Edward Bennett, No. 20, North-crescent-mews, said that he was a labourer at the gasworks. On the morning of the 20th inst., about half-past two or three o'clock, he saw the reflection of a police man's lamp pass his first floor, and some minutes elapsed after that when he heard the report of a pistol. He could not tell where it came from, but he looked out of the window and saw a policeman in a slanting position against the railings. He went down stairs with only one leg in his trousers. When he went to the policeman he was crying out bitterly, and he said, " What have I done to be shot." Witness said "I cannot tell." Some person came behind and said, "Are you shot, cocky ?" He then took him down the mews, and found a police-officer. He left the man with him, and he took him to the arch way, and then two officers came up and they took him to the station in Hunter-street. Prisoner—Did not say to you " Shall I spring the rattle for you ?" Witness—l never saw you at all. You did not catch hold of the policeman's left arm and lead him with you. He did not hear this man say that the policeman had been shot. You did not catch hold of the policeman's leg. I had hold of his left arm. The rattle was sprung before I came down. Mr. Vaughan—Did you see any blood coming from the policeman ? Witness—No, I only saw the mark on the helmet. It was a cut. Jane Bennett said she was the daughter of last witness. She heard the report of the pistro t n 1 o ..ere she saw the ' prisoner jump from a van. lie ran over to the policeman, and said, " Holloa, cocky, where have they shot you ?" She did not hear the constable answer, but he said to her father, " What have I done to be shot ?" The prisoner followed her down the mews, and then some policemen came down, and she went to put some more things on, and when she came down again there were several policemen in the mews, and prisoner standing there. She caught hold of his arm and said, " Holloa! what are you doing here ?" He said, " You can shut your - mouth, you need not make a song about it ; if a policeman hears you he might take me up on suspicion." He then pulled a bag out of his pocket, and said, " This will show where I have been." It looked like a brown paper bag. He also added, "If you were turned out, you would be glad to go anywhere. Go in doors, you know nothing about it. I should think you were a ' Copper's nark.'" My brother told me to go indoors, as it was no business of mine. My mother called mc, and I went in. She left the pri soner going to Burton-crescent. At the time this conversation took place no police constables were in view. The prisoner was remanded till Friday, but ad mitted to b TILE WEST INDIA. AND PACIFIC MAILS. (REUTER'S EXPRESS.) PLY3IOUTII, Oct. 28. The Royal Mail steamer Atrato, from the West Indies, has arrived here with yellow fever on board.
