LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, Dec.. 6. OLIVER V. LATHAM. The further arguments in this part-heard tithe cause occupied the Court the whole day. The plain tiff, who is the perpetual curate of Barlastone, by his bill claimed, in right of holding that character, the tithes of hay, calves, milk, and adgistment. On the case coming on before the Vice-Chancellor knight Bruce, he directed certain issues to try the plaintiff's right to the tithes he claimed, and from that judg ment the present appeal was brought. VICE-CHANCELLORS' COURT, Dec. 6. The Vice-Chancellor of England was occupied the whole day with demurers and further directions. COURT OF •QUE EA' 8 BENCH, Dec. 6. (Sittings after Term b?fore Lord DENMAN and a Middlesex Special Jury .) TUE QUEEN V. CII3I§TIAN. This was an indictment charging the defendant with having committed wilful and corrupt perjury, in an affidavit sworn to by defendant in a cause in the Vice-Chancellor's Court. Mr. Thesiger, Mr. Clarltson, and Mr. Bodkin ap peared for the prosecution; and Mr. Kelly and Mr. Chambers for the defendant. It appeared that a Mr. Fannin, a French refugee, had died in 1806, and had made several wills at dif ferent times of his life. By one of these wills he had left certain portions of his property to Mr. Christian, the father of defendant, .certain other portions to a Mr. Devcreux, and the remaining portion to a Catho lic prie3t. He subsequently 1--de a different will, which he deposited with MI-. Chri-tian. In 1814 Mr. DevereuNc preferred his claim before the Com missioners of lfrench Claims, and ealkd upon ChriS tiam to produce the w ill. Christian said the will was lost, buy his son, the defendant, had a copy, which copy was produced, and Dcvereux was successful in his claim. The Commissioners of Charities in Ire land, who claimed under one of these filed a bill in Chancery against Devereux, and the Commis sion of French Claims paid into Court the sum of 24,000/. Old Mr. Christian died in 18 7, and his son, the defendant, then presented a petition to the Vice •Chrtricellor, setting forth his claims to the pro- perty. As twenty years Lad elapsed since the com mencement of the suit, defendant was obliged to make an affidavit, stating why he had suffered his dann to remain dormant so long ; and it was alleged, that in that affidavit he had committed perjury, by mis-stating all the facts of the case, and suppressing map.) , esential cireumstance3. Mr. KELLY took several technical objections to the indictment, the discussion of which took up the greater -part of the morning. Several of the objections taken having been over ruled, .__ Mr. KELLY took an obje2tion to the admission of the office copy of the affidavits, made by defendant in the Court of Chancery. The of copy, which was a;so stated to be an examined copy, contained various abbreviationi of words, which in the original were written at length; as was admitted by the witnesswho produc:rd the copy. Lord DEN AN held the objection to be fatal. It was a most improper practice, for the purpose of saving .a little time, to introduce contractions into copies of documents to be given in evidence. Such copies should agree word for word with the original. The Jury, by direction of the Court, acquitted.the defendant. CRIM. CON.—JAMES V. LENNOX. This was an action brought by the plaintiff to' recler damages from the defendant for criminal conversation with the plaintiff's wife. Mr. TAYLOR having opened the pleadings, The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said that the plaintiff was an officer in the service of the East India Company, and had married the lady who was the unfortunate subject or the present action, some time in the year 1837. The marriage had taken place in Ireland, and shortly afterwards the plaintiff and his wife had proceeded to India. where plaintiff joined his regiment. They remained there, living happily together until the close of 1840,when Mrs. James met with an accident by falling from her horse, in consequence of which her health became so affected that it was considered necessary that she should return to England. Her passage was accordingly taken from Calcutta in a ship, commanded by Captain Ingram, whose wife was on board, and in which a Mr. and Mrs. Curtis had also taken their passage. Mrs. James was placed under their care. Un fortunately on the passage home, the vessel touched at Madras, where the defendant, who was also an officer in the East India Company's ser vice, came on board and took his passage fur Eng land. During the voyage an intimacy sprung up be tween defendant and plaintiff's wife, which had even tually proceeded to such a length as to render the present action necessary.. The defendant was no friend or acquaintance of the plaintiff, and therefore he could not urge a breach of friend.- ship in aggravation of his conduct, but still the lady had been introduced to him as the wife of a brother oEficer, and he must be held responsible for his con duct during the voyage, and after his arrival in Eng land. Mr. 'Thesigor (with Whom was Mr. Ball), here interposed on the part of the defendant. fie nihnitted that he had no available detence to the action, and he was most anxious that all parties should be spared the pain of the present investigation. He had therefore to propose to his Learned Friend, that a verdict should be taken for plaintiff with 1001. damages. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL was willing to accept the proposition of his Learned Friend. The Jury accordingly returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages iOO/. HUGGINS V. COATES. , The defendant in this case was the individual who, some years since, acquired the soubriquet of " Romeo Coates," from his histrionic propensities. He had, in 182 G, sold an annuity of 2251. to plaintiff for 1,500/. Of that annuity he had only paid the first annual in stalment, and the annuity bond had subsequently been set aside for irregularity. The present action was brought to recover the purchase-money advanced. `Air. Platt was for the plaintiff, and Mr. Huggins for the defendant. Several technical objections were taken, and some points were reserved. The Jury found for plaintiff—Damages 1,5001. Lord DENmAN reserved leave to defendant to move for a nonsuit on a verdict for plaintiff, on the ground, that the money having been advanced in 1826, the case came within the statute of limitations. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. Dec. 6. The Court sat i n Banco, and proceeded with the remaining cases in the special paper. The arguments were, as usual on such occasions, of a purely technical character, and involved no point of general interest. SECONDARIES' COURT, .Dec. 6. MATTHEWS V. EVANS. This was an action to recover the sum of 871. 16q for board and lodging. Th e d efendant, a widow, -ap peared to defend the action. The first witness called was a charwoman, who was occasionally employed by the plaintiff. She stated that about two years ago the defendant came to live with the plaintiff. She was to board and lodge with him. The defendant—How do you know that ? The SECONDARY—Stop, your turn will come pre sently, and, I dread the cross-examination. The witness went on to state, that the defendant took three rooms in the house. She did not know what she was to pay for them. She used to take her meals with the plaintiff. Mrs. Evans—Didn't we have taters, and herrings, and some sausages, and sometimes—(Laughter)— didn't we sometimes go without dinner, and some t;rnes have a shoulder of mutton to last all the week ? Didn't we— Mr. Secondary JAMES—Now, which question do you wish answered first, Mrs. Evans To the wit ness--711ow .did the family live ? Witness—Some times they hid chops for dinner, with potatoes and beer. Mrs. Evans—Chops and beer, indeed. I wish I could hav e'.em.—(Laughter.) Why, war'nt I a ser vant to 'em? Warn't I sent down into the kitchen when them there preachers come, cos I wasn't corn plished enough ? and didn't I Mr. Secondary JAmEs—Now, pray ask one ques tion at a time. Mrs. Evans—Well, Sir, sometimes we had faggots for supper, and sometimes taters biled, and that used to cost twopence. But when them preachers came there was summut else, but I had none. The SECONDARY intimated that she would have an opportunity of making her statement. Eliza Matthews, the daughter of the plaintiff, was called, and proved that the defendant had resided with her father, and also boarded for two years. • Mrs. Evans—Did I ever have any thing to drink with the preachers in the parlour? Did I occupy these three rooms ? Now tell me the truth, my dear. To all these questions the witness answered that she did. Mrs. Evans—You know that I always sat in the kitchen, and they used to send me summut to eat down when the preachers was there. Mr. Secondary JAMES—WeII, but why did you stop with them if they used you so ill ? Mrs. Evans —Because I was ill and delicate.—(Laughter.) This being the case for the plaintiff, Mrs. Evans rose to address the Jury. First of all, as she could not read, she begged to hand broker a newspaper containing a police report, in which a had been committed to prison for seizing her goods at the instigation of the plaintiff. This was however, not admitted as evidence. She then stated that she had placed her furniture in the house of the plaintiff, for which she was to have board and lodging, and that now she wished to leave, lie turned round upon her and brought this action. This was not pleaded, and as the action had been allowed t o go by default, it could not be proved in evidence. The Jury returned a verdict for - the plaintiff, damages 521. Mrs. Evans then begged the Jury to read her news paper. This being declined, she wished the usher to do so. But she was unsuccessful, and she lefc the Court in high dudgeon, wishing the Sheriff to inform her if he called that justice. It was stated in Court that she was abill discounter. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Dec. 6. IN RE EDWARD CORAII. The bankrupt in this case had carried on an ex tensive business as a draper and mercer, in the firm of Ccrah and Shileto, Union-street, Bristol. The amount of his liabilities was 4,0001. at the date of the fiat, shortly before which time he drew certain moneys from his banking account, with which he absconded to France. Previous to the issuing of the fiat, a cam position of 10s. in the pound was offered to the creditors, which was subsequently raised to 135., but both tenders were refused, as it was alleged he was well able to pay 20s. At his last examination he stated that the money which he drew from his banker be lodged in the bank of M. Adolphe Adam at Boulogne, for the purpose of paying through their agents in London certain debts which he owed in England. Considerable doubt having arisen with respect to this fact the case was adjourned, in order that the bankrupt might produce more tangible proof of the money being thus appropriated. The case having again come .before the Court this day, the bankrupt professed his utter inability to furnish the information required by the Court. The official assignee said that no further informa• tion had been afforded with respect to the moneys allezed to have been lodged at the Boulogne hank. The LEARNED CoiamiAsioNErt said the case should he again adjourned, and if the bankrupt did not render all the information required by the official assignee, he (the Learned Commissioner) would avail himself of the new poweri DOW vested in him under the Bankruptcy Amendment Act, and commit him at once to prison. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Dec.-67 IN RE JOHN GEORGE SMITH. - The insolvent had been discharged gnder the Act in 1839,. from. liabilities amounting to 7391. In the present instance all that was available to his creditors were two debts, both of which were described as bad. Mr. CooKE applied to have T. Easel, Esq., a Cap tain in ,the Royal Navy, appointed assignee. He hall lent the insolvent 601., in security. for which he got the lease of certain premises. _ _ Mr. Commissioner HARRIS said the habits of a naval officer were not adapted for such an office as assignee to an insolvent's estate. He should appoint one of the trade creditors. The insolvent was then ordered to be discharged. IR RE WILLIAM JACKSON. The insolvent's petition to be discharged was op posed by Mr. Cooke, on the grounds of undue pre ference. It appeared that he had executed a warrant of at torney in favour of Messrs. Ellington and Wells, the extensive ale brewers, who thus became possessed of all the property.--Discharged. IN RE THOMAS BIRD HUGHES.. The insolvent in this case was a barrister, residing in chambers in the Inner Temple. The amount of debts which appeared in his schedule was about 1,2001. in the aggregate and the number of creditors was 71. In reply to Air. Commissioner Harris, he said he had been writing for Loan Societies ; was entitled to no property in reversion or possession. Had some law books and other documents at his chambers. Mr. Commissioner HARRIS—You are entitled to retain your law books. He was declared entitled to be discharged forthwith. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

A man named Thomas Edwards, who is cook on board a steamer, 'vas brought befo re th e L ord May : and Alderman Thomas Wood, charged w i t h h aving obstructed a Custom-house officer in the execution of his duty, in apprehending a man accused of smuggling. C. lir. Davis, the Custom-house officer alluded to, stated that on the 10th of last month, between four and five o'clock in the afternoon, he detected two men smuggling brandy from one steamer to another. Having apprehended one of the smugglers, whom he put into the custody of a brother officer, he went after the other, but the defendant pushed away the man by force, and advised him not on any account to allow himself to be taken into custody. Resistance to the witness's authority was accordingly made, but by the interference of the captain, the smuggler was se cured, and was, upon being taken before the Lord Mayor, fined 51., and a similar penalty was inflicted upon the other person engaged in the contraband I transaction. Mr. Lewis, the defendant's solicitor, represented to the Magistrates that his client might have been brought up along with the two men referred to on the 10th of last month, instead of having the charge hanging in terrorem over him, preventing him from attending to his business with comfort and profit. Even if the. obstruction complained of had actually occurred, it would be unfair to defer the prosecution until it suited those who might order it. The LORD MAYOR asked the efficer why the de fendant had not been complained against before? Davis said the decision of the Board of Cuu toms as to the prosecution of a person accused of obstructing an officer must be received before the necessary steps to procure conviction could be resorted to. The per son who obstructed was not dealt with until the smuggling was disposed of. Alderman T. WOOD asked whether it was to he understood that a case was to hang over a man for a month because it was not the custom to dispose of smuggling and the attempt to obstruct the officers in the execution of their duty ?—Davis replied that such were the directions issued to the officers. The Com missioners investigated charges of obstruction before .they ordered prosecutions for the offence. The; offi cers sometimes did not receive answers from.the Board on the subject for seven days. The Los]) atroit—lt is very hard that this man TIIE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 7, 1842. Ishould be taken from his busin e s s so long after the eseurrence has taken place. Alderman T. WOOD—Most certainly it i 3 ; and it is the duty of the Magistrates to see that matters of this kind are followed up by the law. There i 3 no ground whatever for delays of this kind. The Solicitor for the Customs called a witness to confirm the statement made by Davis. In the main statement the testimony of the witness was similar to that already stated, but the_ new witness did not ob serve that the interposition of the defendant was marked by violence. Mr. Lewis argued very ingeniously upon the weak ness of the evidence of the witness called to confirm that of Davis, as well as upon the extraordinary delay in deciding upon the prosecution. The LORD MAYOR, after a consultation with Al derman T. Wood, said that they could not, under the circumstances, think of convicting the defendant. They at the same time admonished the defendant to look to his future conduct with particular care, and assured him that the heaviest punishment should be inflicted upon him if he happened to be found protecting or defending smugglers. The defendant said Es defied any one to say that he had ever in his life committed en act of smuggling. Deputy Peacock mid some other gentlemen of the Corporation waited upon the Lord Mayor for the purpose of complaining to his Lordship of the shoot ing upon the artillery ground at Woolwich. The Deputy said that on the day before, in passing by the Woolwich artillery ground, in one of the Star Com pany's boats, a ball passed over the raised ground into the river, within a few yards of the bows of the vessel. He considered that if the ball had fallen a few yards nearer to him very great destruction would have taken place. The captain of the same vessel had undergone a similar hazard as he passed some .time ago, and two or th r ee y ears . ago the head of a water man was actually blown off from the gunnery at %%Toed wich. The LORD MAYOR said he had never heard of such a calamity, and asked whether it was generally known. Deputy Peacock said it ought certainly to have been made known, and he did not know how it could have been concealed from the public knowledge. Mr. Hobler said that complaints had been made of the dangers arising- from the practice in the artillery ground, and that a representation to the authorities was always efficacious in putting a stop to it. One of the Deputation to the Lord Mayor said that bombs often struck the opposite bank of the river. The LORD .MAYOR slid that the practice ought not to extend to the river, and that he should at once write to the Ordnance Department upon the subject. Mr. Godson, the Deputy of Aldersgate Ward, said he waited upon the Lord Mayor for the purpose of asking his Lordship whether what was complained of generally as a very great nuisance could not he abated or altogether removed. He had gone with his family to Fresh Wharf, Thames-street, in order to get on board a steamer for Gravesend, and upon entering the wharf a dirty fellow demanded half-a-crown of him for wharfage. He by no means objected to pay the demand, but he requested that a ticket should be fur nished to him of the amount. The acknowledgment was refused, and he was referred to the clerk. He applied to the clerk, but he was treated with very nearly as little cerem on y by th ese gen tl emen . The LORD MAYOR said, that he, as a wharfinger, would certainly not allow any clerk or other person in his employment, to take money without giving an acknowledgment fur it. A wharfinger would be sub ject to loss himself, if he were to permit any other practice, so that he had his own property as well as the property of the public to look to in having his re gulations rigidly attended to. His Lordship was convinced that the proprietor of Fresh Wharf would take care to look into the abuse complained of, on having the representation made to him. Deputy Godson said he had no doubt of the,inter ference of Mr. Knill to prevent any repetition of the nuisance, and stated that he had h ear d o f so many in stances f annoyances of this kind, especially in the case of females, that he was determined to mention what he had himself been a witness to, in the presence of the Chief Magistrate, who was so well qualified to judge of the duties of a wharfinger. BO IV-STREET. BLASPHEMOUS PUBLICATIONS.— Thomas Patterson, a bookseller. residing in Holywell-street, Strand, was summoned before Mt% Hall, for exposing to view a certain profane paper, on Wednesday the 30th ult. Mr. Thomas, the barrister, conducted the defence, and contended that the Act of Parliament was enacted merely to prevent persons carrying boards about the streets, on which were engraved prophane and blas phemous writings, likely to attract a crowd and ob struct the thoroughfares, and that a man's shop window could not be considered a thoroughfare. He was, moreover, of opinion that a Police Magistrate had no jurisdiction in such cases. Mr. HALL said that he apprehended the Act was not necessarily confined to the public streets, and a man had no right to expose anything blasphemous in his window; for he might thereby attract quite as large a crowd as any one with a placard on the foot way pavement or in .the carriage road. He was of' opinion that he had jurisdiction, and. therefore ordered the ease to proceed-. Sergeant Kerr, F 12, was then sworn, and said, I was. on duty on Wednesday the 30th ult. in Holywell street, and seeing a great crowd ()abide the defendant's window, I crossed over to see what it was about. I then noticed in the window a profane paper, in writing, of which this is a copy. Witness was about to read a paper he held in his hand, when he was stopped by , Mr. Thomas, who asked him what paper that was? Kerr—lt is a copy of the paper I saw in Mr. Patterson's window. Mr. Thomas—Did you make it on the spot ? Wit ness—l made a copy in pencil, and wrote it out fair after I got home. Mr. Thomas contended that this paper could not be read. Mr. HALL (to the witness)—Have you got the copy which you made on the spot ? Witness replied in the negative. Mr. HALL said that in that case his evidence could not be received. Sandrock, the superintendent, was about to speak to the witness, when he was ordered to be quiet by Mr. Thomas, who then asked if there were any other witnesses. Sandrock called Thomas Whitehead, T 53, who corroborated the statement of the last witness, and also produced a paper. Mr. Thomas—What paper is that ? Witness—A copy of one I saw in defendant's window. Mr. Thomas—Was it made on the spot ? It was, and I hai-e had it in my possession ever since. Mr. Thomas now contended that this paper could not be read in evidence, as no notice had been given to his client to produce his original, in order that it might be compared with the constable's copy. Mr. HALL offered to give him time to go home and fetch it, but to this Mr. Thomas also objected, as being irregular. Mr. HALL said that being the case he was of opinion that the summons must be dismissed. Henry Lyalls was summoned for a similar offence, and his case was dismissed for a like reason. An elderly man, who gave his name as Henry Wat kins, and who stated that he was an attorney, was charged with the following shocking assault upon Mr. Millar, of the Strand, w h ere b y h e h as ent i rely lost the sight of one eye. A professional gentleman appeared for Mr. Millar, who, from the injuries he had received, was quite unable to attend, and stated that the prisoner last evening came into the shop of Mr. Millar, who is a cheesemonger in the Strand, and requested to see some cheese which was in the window. The shopman produced the half of a cheese, and said that it was th e other half of th a t i n the window. The prisoner said it t w\ shopman,a p mr s su a oe d nhs — ae er shale d i‘ cia l on i hu e te , le d i a l oa s s - tn a acd s ul n hit a o e rt said.. that T A e i h hra e e. s eA ,p h seie o ri r ifilnl m ayrr av pennyworth. a s hre otnkhnlyd, himat d the back of the shop at the time, then came forward and remonstrated with the prisoner, and he (prisoner) became very abusive, and Mr. Millar ordered him out of the shop. The. prisoner said he would give the prosecutor a horse-whipping, and then the prosecutor attempted to push him out, and as he did so the pri soner raised an umbrella which he had in his hand to strike the prosecutor, and in doing so the end of the umbrella entered Mr. Millar's eye, whereby it was severely injured, so much so that he was unable to attend in Court to-day. The shopman proved the facts as stated. Mr. Radcliffe, a surgeon residing in the Strand, stated that he had attended Mr. Millar this morning, and he found him suffering the most acute pain. He had examined his eye, and found that the eye-ball had been ruptured, whereby the sight of that eye was en tirely destroyed. There was no possible hope of its ever being recovered. Mr. TWYFORD inquired if there were any other dangerous symptoms. Mr. Radcliffe said that death might ensue if the in jury done to the eye should affect the brain. The prisoner, in his defence, said that the prosecu tor had sneered him for asking for a penny worth of cheese, and had attempted to kick him out. The in jury done to his eye was entirely accidental. Mr. TWYFORD said he should hold the prisoner to bail himself in 1001., and two sureties in 501. each, to appear next Tuesday. The prisoner said he had no friends in town who would be bail for him, and he was sent to prison until the prosecutor should be sufficiently recovered to ap pear against hi m . ' MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Susannah Collins, a middle-aged woman of cleanly and decent appearance, was charged as fbllows : Police Constable, No. 54, of the C division, statedthat between 4 and 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon, he was sent for to the billiard-room in South Molton-street, Grosvenor-square, and the defendant was given into his charge for conducting herself in A violent and Es. orderly manner, and causing s great crowd of persons to assemble and remain in front of the house. She was in a very excited state, and kept calling out for her daughter, who, she said, was secreted in the house, to be given up to her, and although he assured her that such was not the fact, she would not be pacified, and witness was at length obliged to take her to the station-house. Mr. MALTBY asked the defendant what explana tion she had to give of such conduct ? The defendant said that she was a widow, and was left with four chil dren to bring up by her labour alone. Her eldest daughter, who would not be 14 years old until the Ist of next March, was in a respectable situation with a French lady in Duke-street, Manchester-square; and on Saturday last she was enticed away from there by a gentleman, who, she had been informed, took her to the billiard-rooms, and had her secreted there. There was also no doubt but that her child's ruin had been effected, as her seducer took her to a brothel on Sun day evening, and remained with her during the night. She had walked the streets for two days and nights in search of her daughter, and on going to the billiard rooms her feelings were so over-wrought that she did not know what she did or said. She believed her child was concealed there. Mr. MALTBY said the matter should be inquired into, and ordered the defendant to be discharged. iIARYLEBONE. Two respectable young men in appearance, nams Frederick Fisher and Charles Marsh, were placed ai the bar, charged with the following aggravated as sault It appeared from the evidence adduced that the prisoners in a drunken frolic forced their wty into the sleeping apartment occupied by a young woman, a milliner, • - named Hel e n W eaver , re s idi ng in Hector-place, Crawford -street, and pulled her out Of bed, using the most gross violence. Her cries for assistance brought the police and the offenders were given into custody. On their way to the station house, Fisher made a determined attack upon the constable, whom - he knocked down, and severely handled, but more assistanc e ar ri v i ng he was at last secured. The other prisoner went quietly. Mr. LONG said he should send Fisher, for his gross conduct, to the House of Correction for a 'month but on his mother representing that he was the only support of the family, the punishment was mitigated o a fine of 40s. Marsh was fined 20s. t UNION-HALL. Thomas Finveane, a medical stu-k& - , was charged With an offence very prevalent amongst "young doc toers," namely, ringing bells at an unseasonable hour of the night. • Mr. Wagstaff, a surgeon, residing in the Kenning; ton-road, stated, that at a late hour on the preceding night, he was awoke by a violent ringing at the sur gery bell. He got out of bed ; and, on going to sec who it was, found the defendant there; and when asked what he wanted, his reply was, that he re quired medical assistance, and, at the same time, burst out laughing. He was requested to leave the place, the complainant seeing that he was under the influ ence of liquor; but instead of availing himself of this very wholesome advice, he commenced ringing away again until it. was at length found necessary to give him into custody. Mr. TRAIL—I shall now make you find bail to be of good behaviour for the ,next six months. The defendant was locked up until he found the re. quired securities. CLERKEN WELL. William Daly was charged with violently assaulting William Reynolds, at Sadler's Wells Theatre on the previous night. From the evidence of W. Reynolds, who is one of the constables sworn in to 'reserve order in Sadler's Wells Theatre, it appears that almost every night crowds of young men of profligate character sur round the theatre. Many of them attempt to enter the pit by false tickets or passes. Between ten and eleven o'clock last night the prisoner presented a pass for entrance to the pit. The complainant said he had not been there before, and that the "pass" belonged to somebody else. The prisoner insisted on his right to enter, alleging that he had been there during ths entire performance. The constable questioned him as to what it was, or who . were the actors, but the prisoner was unable to answer a single question. He still vociferously demanded admission, and when Reynolds attempted to force him back, he collared him, and struck him several severe blows on the face, and nearly suffocated him by . twisting his neckloth. Mr. GRE ENWOOD after giving, strict directions to the police to be ve ry vigilant in suppressing all dis turbances, and arresting suspicious characters, said, that he would oblige the prisoner to find bail to keep the peace, and fine him 1/. in addition. Mr. James Elliot, an attorney, residing in Bruns wick-street, Barnsbury-road, Islington, was brought before Mr. Greenwood, in custody of the master of the Islington workhouse, and other parish authorities, charged as being of unsound mind, and a person who was unfit to enjoy personal liberty. The evidence to sustain the charge of insanity wrs given by one of the warrant-officers of the Court. He deposed that on Saturday night week he went to between eight an d n i ne o ' c l oc k ; the his residence to serve a warrant on him f or b rea ki ng a door; it was prisoner was per,"ectly naked, with the exception of a blanket thrown round his shoulders, and declaiming scriptural texts, from a Bible fastened to a wall, with great violence of language and gesture. On Monday he again visited him, when he was occupied in the same manner, and nearly in the same naked con dition. The.parish authorities took him into custody, and placed him in the workhouse four days ago, where he had sine?. remained. Mr. GREENWOOD refused to interfere, and the prisoner withdrew. WORSHIP-STREET. Charles and Mary Greenwood, a decent looking married couple, were charged before Mr. Bingham with having violently assaulted two policeman of the K division, and rescued a prisoner from their custody. Police constable B 70, stated, that be was on duty in Hackney-road, at one o'clock on that morning, when he heard a loud uproar, which was created by a drunken man, who lodged in Minerva-street, in the same house with the prisoners. Witness repaired to the spot with another officer, and, after a good deal of persuasion, they induced th e man to retire into his house, but he came out again soon after, and renewed the disturbance, upon whi c h th ey t oo k him into cus tody. As they . were endeavouring to remove him, however, the prisoners and two others persons, rushed out of the house, and rescued him from them. The male prisoner had only his shirt on, but he was armed with a large and heavy piece of wood, with which he struck witness a violent blow on the face, and caused his nose and mouth to bleed profusely. He then retreated back into the house, but witness followed him, and took him into custody. In answer to the charge, the male prisoner said ho was aroused from his sleep by:the disturbance in the street ; and, on looking out of the window, he saw the policemen engaged in a struggle with a man whom they were beating in an unmerciful manner with their truncheons. The man's wife, who was standing by, implored them not to murder her husband ; and on seeing him at the window, she begged him to come down and interfere on her behalf. He accordingly went to the street door, and requested the policemen to desist from ill-using the man, and either to let him go or take him at once to the station-house. He had no sooner urged the request, however, than the police men relinquished their hold of the man, and ran to wards him, and having pursued him up stairs, they took him and his wife int o cus t o dy. Joseph Powley, a sho ema k er , living opposite to the prisoner, stated that he looked out of his window on hearing the alarm, and saw the policeman struggling with the drunken man, and using their truncheons with the utmost violence. He heard the prisoner re monstrate with them from the threshold of his own door, upon which they left the man, and entered the house after the prisoner, whom they brought out, together with his wife, in their custody. Mr. BINGHAM said that the case was one of so much importance, that he could not arrive at a satisfactory decision respectin g it without seeing the inspector, and he should adjourn it for his attendance. The prisoners were liberated upon bail for their appearance on Thursday next.

The 60Ye 1.- nor bears testimony to the tranquil state of the colon Y! and it is allowed that the complaints about the w ;u I; of labour had gradually subsided. The most impor tant statement, however, is that, owing to the large. increase in the exports of the staples this year, 011(11 the anticipation of still further increase in the ainount; of the coming crops, that the agricu lturists of Jae. maica are willing that the Governm ent should deal with the sugar duties, merely securing amount of protection. This statement is made in the Morning Journal of the 3d November, with an- addendum, that the question was expected to for T, the subject of discussion in the Assembly, and that the debate should should take place the result would b e a certain published in a separate column, under the heady" of siness of the House."
