DANIELS V. CRUSSLEY. This was an action for false imprisonment. The plaintiff is a carpenter, and having been employed by the defendant, a publican in the Oval. road, St. Pancras, to make some benches and tables, he took away a quantity of the defendant's timber, which remained after the job was completed. The defendant thereupon gave him into custody for robbery, and prosecuted him for felony at the Old Bailey, where he was acquitted. These were the grounds of the action ; but it was proved for the de fence, that when the plaintiff was charged with robbery, he said it was his first offence, and prayed the publican to forgive him.

This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who traffic on the health and credulity of patients, has been en couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the authors have fur a considerable time devoted themselves ex clusively to a certain class of diseases ; of the necessity of so doing, they were further convinced by feeling that tact in in vestigating the latent sources of many diseases, which arise from certain secret praetices, can only be acquired by an ex clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whersin affections of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of consumption, which, however, when traced to their source, are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more applicable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in saying that there is no member of society by whom the book will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in conse quence of some disease, which, for want of careful investiga tion of its real cause, has been set down to the score of con sumption, will, on perusing this work, be astonished to find, that in nine-tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth much more frequently than it is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds (temporarjay at least), the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directea and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often con cealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be com promised, unless the evil be arrested in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the real causes of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character is at once concentrated the two-fold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits to which youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point out the dis astrous consequences which are sure to follow from them if not relinquished. Messrs. CURTIS and CO. are to be consulted daily at their residence, No. 7, Frith-street, Soho-square, London. Country Patients are requested to be as minnte as possible in the detail of their cases—as to the duration of the complaint, the symptoms, age, general habits of living, and occupation in life of the party ; the communication must be accompanied by the usual Consultation Fee of U., without which no notice whatever can be taken of their application ; and in all oases. the most inviolable seam may be re li ed on. _ I 4 DODD'S PEERAGE, KNIGHTAGE, &c.—SECOND YEAR.

A letter from Caen (Calvaclor) of 30th Jan., says : "Yesterday evening at ten o'clock, a fire broke out in the central prison of Beaulieu, where there were 1,500 prisoners. Assistance Nras very speedily brought, but it was not till after several hours of unremitting exer tions, seconded by many thousand citizens, that they succeeded in saving the whole north part of the magni ficent establishment of Beaulieu, the finest of the kind in France. Of the south wing., only the wall re mains, only part of the goods in the workshops were saved, and almost all the machines were destroyed, with the works in progress. The loss is immense, and may be estimated at the least at 1 ,500,000 or 1,800,000 francs. Some of the prisoners distinguished themselves by their intrepidity, and not one attempted to escape.—Constitu tionneL THE KIRK.-----The crisis in the Kirk, which has all along been predicted by calm on-lookers, has at length dawned on the Non-Intrusion leaders, but too late to enable them to pause in their wild career. On Monday they had a meeting in this city of their friends, for the purpose of pro elaiming their embarrassments, and endeavouring to excite public sympathy. The principal speakers were Mr. Cunning ham, Mr. Guthrie, and Dr. Candlish. Forsaken by the Go vernment, contemned by their own Presbyteries, and neglected or derided by the people, nothing is left for them but separation from the State. This, in p ar ti cu l ar, i s t h e tone assume d b y hopeless—is Candlish; in the mea n ti me, a s t an d— con f esse dl y made agai ns t patronage—aga i nst t h e very means by which they the mse l ves entered the Church. This, to b b e ut , however, cannot avert the explosion which is evidently at no great distance.— Edinburgh Paper of Wed Fl esday. DREADFUL CASE OF STARVATION.—On Wednesday evening, the 26th ult., an inquisition was taken before H. Churton, Esq., at M oston Hall Farm-house, in the parish of St. Mary, Chester, on the body of Margaret Flana • gan—she had been separated from her husband about three years, and had been residing in Lancashire for the last twelve months, where she supported herself and two children by cap-making. She had been induced by her distressed circum stances to pawn even the clothes off her back, in order to pay for her lodgings, and obtain bread for herself and family. She left Preston on the previous Friday, with her daughters for the purpose of seeing her mother, who resides in this city. On Monday-week they walked from Birkenhead; and late on that evening, they applied for a night's lodging at Sutton, but ap pealed in vain, as the people would not get up to let them in ; they then walked on to Moston, where they arrived at twelve o'clock at night, and where they sat down on the road-side. Deceased complained of fatigue, and said, " Ido not think I shall ever get up again alive." The night was very cold and wet ; she fell asleep with both her children by her side. The eldest, who is about *we've years of age. did not awake until the morning*, when she found that he s mother had fallen into a I gutter, by the bank-side, and was lying with her. youngest girl upon her chest ; on attempting to arouse her from (as she sup posed) a sound slumber, it was discovered that she was quite dead. Verdict, " Died from hunger, and exposure to the in. clemency of the weather.-- Chester Courant. A ROBBER SHOT.—On T uesday night last, the butler of Mr. James Dennis Brampton, of Dris — coe-house, Essex, was alarmed, between two and three o'clock in the morning, by a noise resembling the rattling of broken glass. The sleeping-room of the butler is on the ground-floor, and adjoins the pantry, from which direction th e noise seemed to proceed. The butler immediately arose, and c au ti ous l y opening the door leading into the paey, he disti nct l y heard a sound as though some one at the outside i of the pantry window were boring through the shutter with an Instrument of some kind. Feeling certain that an attempt was being shade to effect an entrance into th e hou s e, he took a b race of pistols, and proceeding to a staircase.window overlookin the three men, apparently occupied pantry,discovered attempting up ' to effect an entrance. He instantly threw the window a n d fi re d one of his pistols in the direction of the robbers , One of whom immediately fell; the remainingtwo, after standing an instant, seized upon the body of the fallen man and disappeared, the butler firing his other pistol after them without effect. An alarm was instantly raised, but before any of the inm a t es could manage to emerge from the house, the noise of a ch a i se -cart, driven at a rapid rate, was heard, in which it is conjectured the villains escaped.

Is it your usual practice to advance so large a sum of money without inquiring the purpose to chich it was to be applied ?—The bankrupt wished it for the purposes of his trade. What would be the gross profits of such a trade as the bank rupt's ?—I can't tell. What would be a fair profit to mark on his goods ? per cent. Have you stated that you made an offer to the bankrupt of 2,5e01., provided he got some respectable person to take your account?—We did offer to write off that amount. In what way was that affair to be managed ?—I have already given the explanation fully. In the presence of the bankrupt's brother we told him, provided he got a party to be security, we would write off sums on his account. In what manner was the party to take your unsecured debt ? —We did not point out any manner. The bankrupt told us he had no doubt lie could get a party to take it. Again, in what manlier did you under tand that was to be done?—That was left entirely to the bankrupt. COMMISSIONER —What did y ou mean b y ta ki ng your unse cured debt?—That is to say they should become ereditora to the bankrupt in our stead. Mr. BUT benefit was t h e party to der i ve for taking the debt ?—That was a matter entirely between the bankrupt and the party, which we had nothing to do with. Then, do I understand that if any body else could have been fixed upon as the creditor instead of yourself, it was immaterial the way in which it was managed?—Certainly, we should have expected the money to have been paid as security for the party. When you were examined before did you say anything about a party taking the unsecured debt ?—I have no doubt I did at the time, but it does not appear that I did ; but we were satis fied with our security for a portion of the debt, and it was said in the presence of the security, "of course you have security to the other amount?" You allude to the bankrupt's brother. Do you 'mean to say that he was security for all the unsecured debt?—l believe he was )—Fdtecn Now, you have stated in your examination something relating to the bankrupt paying 105. in the pound. Did you say one word of tkat in your private examination ?—I believe not, be cause I was not asked the question. Were you not asked to give a specific amount of the transac tion ?—The question applied to the 2,5001. " Will you fix the time when the conversation to which I have referred took place ?--The 3d July. Referring to the bill of 2,000/. due on the 4th May, can you now by reference to your book, say with whom you dis counted it?—Ye=, with Overy and Co., through Barclay and Co., rn the 15th of January, 1841. As that 2,0001. cheque was paid through Barclay and Co., have you any doubt that it was given by you to take up that bill?—lt. was not given by me at all, it was given by our house, and I, personally, cannot speak of it. Have you any doubt that it was so given ?—I have no know ledae of it, I think it very likely it was 113 applied. You know the distinction between given and applied—do you know whether it was so given ?—I cannot tell; 1 have no knowledge of its being so given. Mr. Cook signed the cheque. Barclay is written across the cheque, who wrote that ? alr. Parkinson. Were Barclay and Co. the bankrupt's broker?—No. Produce your cheque-book ?--The book was not in Court. Examined by Mr. HUMFREY—You said in your examina tion that you advanced to the bankrupt the 7,0001. in various sums; when had he first applied to you to make that loan?— In Nay. Was it before the first sum was advanced ?—I should think on the same day the first sum was advanced. 7,000/. was advanced on the Ist of May. Do you keep the books ?—I take the direction of the books, but I don't keep any. Mr. Cook was then called. Mr. H UMFREY said he should not ask him any question, as it was the same transaction. Mr. Cook was ready to answer any question from the other side. Mr. BUTT said it was a very unfair trick to play.—( Several persons in Court here expressed their approbation by capping their hands.) Mr. HUMFREY said this was a most unwarrantable assertion, and appealed to the Learned Commissioner. The Commissionza said it was not a proper assertion. The examination would be the same as that of Mr. Gladstone, therefore it was unnecessary occupying the time of the Court to go over the same again. Mr. MARDON said he was at a loss to know who was going on with the case, Mr. Humfrey or Mr. Butt. Mr. Hu MFREY said he had nothing to ask Mr. Cook. After a short and angry discussion between the Counsel, Mr. Cook was cross-examined by Mr. MARDON. Did you on the 28th of December, 1840, apply to Mr. George Hitchcock for any and what security, and what sum ? —I did for 1,000/. ; I asked him for a guarantee, vilich he gave me. Why did you apply at that period to Mr. George Hitchcock for security for any part of the debt due to you by the bank rupt ?--T applied to him for security for the amount he wished us to lend him. Did you mean that the bankrupt applied to you for the 1,0001. 9—Of course I did Had you any reason at that period for taking Mr. George Hitchcock as security for the bankrupt ?—I do not recollect any particular reason that I had. Did you on the 29th December, 1840, see a Mr. Gubian, of Paris, and did any conversation take place between you and him relating to the bankrupt ?—He asked me if I'd be kind enough to give him a letter of introduction to Mr. Hitchcock. Was the letter now produced to you, marked C, written by you and given to Mr. Gubian.—lt was. How long before that p,Tiod had you known Mr. Galan ? —I had known him one or two years before, and he was recom mended to us by Williams and Sowerby, of Oxford-street. Did you make any statement to Mr. Gubian when *lti gave him that letter respecting the bankrupt or his circumstances?— I don't recollect that I did. Do you mean to say that you gave that letter to Mr. Gu bian without saying anything about the bankrupt or his en-- cumtances ?—He might have asked me the question, but I don't recollect, it is such a time since. Did you tell him that you had been applied to to lend the bankrupt 1,0001. without his brother's security . ?—No., Do you know that in the month of July Mr. Haywlil, one of th e b an k ru pt' s buyers, went to Paris • t buy goods throu g h that introduction?—l know it from bearing Hayward's signature, but I did not know it before when he took this letter out of his pocket, and showed it to me and the other assignees ; he then offered to destroy it. I said " No, don't destroy it on any accornt, I am very much surprised to find such a letter in your pessesion." Are you not aware that, in the months of Jan. anl Feb. 1841, the bankrupt was making alterations in his premises?— I was not aware that he was about making alterations. I mought they were about finished at that time. Did you call at Regent-street on the 10th or 11th Alerch in that year ?—Not to my recollection. Did you call at any time about that period to see the bank rupt, and express yourself in terms of approbation at the alter ation of the premises, that bring the first day of his opening? I do not recollect the date, but I expressed myself to that effect. Do you not know that in February a large parcel was sent by your house to the bankrupt, on opening the new houses in March ? —Yes. Did you introduce bankrupt to the Birmingham Plate Glass Company ?—Yes. About what time was it ?—I do not recollect. Did Bankrupt call on you at any time in the year 1841, re specting the payment of his acceptance give n t o t h at company? —Not to my recollection. Did you see him at all at any time, and did you state to him that though interested in the Plate Glass Company, yet you were more interested in his estate ; and did you not then recom mend him not to send intotho Campany the old plate glass which he was about to send in part discharge of a bill then overdue? — I recollect the bankrupt asking me if I would recommend him to sell his old plate-glass to the Company. I said No ; you will get a much better price for it from your builder or glazier, I did not advise him anything about the bill of the Company, nor do I believe he mentioned anything of the kind. Do you recollect having seen Mr. Warrick on the 16th March, 1841 ?—Yes. Did any conversation take place between you and him on the occasion of his calling to the bankrupt's reference, and state is hat then took place ?—He called to ask my opinion of the matter. I said my opinion was very good on it, as to the large amount, and some thousands beyond his security. He then stated " I hear, or believe you hold the lease as security." I answered yes, Ido not recollect any more. IN RE WAI. HITCHCOCK. This case was resumed this morning, and the examination of Mr. Gladstime, of the firm of Cook and Gladstone, was proceeded with by Mr. Butt. You stated yesterday that the 7,0001. was not advanced to pay an old account ?—.Yes ; I can now explain the circum stances. On the 2d Nov., 1839, we discounted various bills for the bankrupt amounting to 2,2341. 16s. 7d. Amongst o her bills was one drawn by George Hitchcock upon the bankrupt for 2,0001., which fell due on the 4th May, the cash for which was given to the bankrupt on the 2d of Nov., and formed no part of 7,0001. advanced in May. Have you gut that bill for 2,0001. in your possession now ? We have not. What has become of it ? given up to the party. Was that bill presented in due course do not know. Now, just look at this account, and look out the bill for 2,0001. Was not that bill of 2,0001. part of the 7,000/?—Certainly not. Will you swear that you ever had a bill drawn by George Hitchcock for 2,000/. ? Now be cautious.—l do; here is the entry of it in my book. Would that be due on the 4th May?—Yes, it is so shown in the book. Then does not that sum of the 2,000/. stated in your account to be advanced on the 7th May, form part of the 7,000/. ?—lt does. ) —When it was paid it was of coarse Did Mr. Warrick ask you whether you examined into the affairs of the bankrupt in an action with Heeles and Co ?—I do not recollect. Did you not then tell him that you had Heeles' bill in the cash-box ?—I do not recollect. Do you believe you said anything to him on that occasion in words to that effect?—l think not. Did you say that the securities you held would not amount to one-third of your liabilities ?—No. I never used the word liabi lity in a reference to any one in my life. Did you tell him what security you held ?—No ; I might have said I held a lease for my own 3,0001., but do not recollect I did. Did you not inform him you held a joint -note of the bank rupt and his brother for 7,000/. ?—I do not recollect Did you on the Ist of January, 1842, call upon Mr. Warrick, and see him in his counting .house ?—Yes, about that time. Did you say you understood he was summoned to give evi dence in the matter of William Hitchcock ?—Yes. Did you then ask him as to the purport of a reference you gave in March ? He said he was summoned for that purpose. Did he say that he must, if required, go forward and swear that it would be very convenient to have stated at the time the reference was made, that we had, in addition to the lease, the joint security of G. and W. Hitchcock?--Yes, or words to that effect. Did you assign any reason why you did not inform them that you held the security of G. Hitchcock ?--I said he must have misunderstood me, or I him, respecting that. In what way do you mean that he must have misunderstood you ?—Because he asked if I had any other security. Do you mean that by not disclosing to Mr. Warrick that you held the security of Mr. George Hitchcock, he misunderstood you ? He never asked me the question. I)id lie not ask if you held security, and the nature of that security, in March. He said he understood you held a lease? —Yes : I said we held a lease. That was at our house. Did Mr. Warrick, in January, say, Why did you'isot tell me in confidence that you held the joint note, and you replied, that if you had done so, Mr. Warrick would not have trusted him, or words to that effect?—Yes; but I do not recollect his using the words as you repeat them. If he did, my reason would be not to injure Mr. George /litchrock. If you told Mr. Warrick that you held the joint note of George Hitchcock and the bankrupt, do you believe, if it would injure Mr. G. Hitchcock in his estimation, it would have injured the bankrupt also, and that he would not have trusted the bankrupt ?—I have no belief to give on it. A per son may judge for himself. Was not the reference to you respecting the credit of the bankrupt ?—Yes. Was it in any manner relating to the credit of G. Hitch cock ?—No. Is it usual when an inquiry is made respecting the credit of a person to disclose the nature of an account, and what securities are held ?—Tkat depends on the questions put. It is not usual to put such searching ques tions as Mr. Warrick said he put to me. I never recollect such a reference in my life. • Is it not usual when questions are put asking whether you hold security, to disclose what securities you hold ?—Mr. Warrick did not ask me concerning all the securities. He asked me if I held a lease. Did you see the bankrupt at any time in July at your count ing-house ?—Yes, I did. Did you ask him to send any goods to you ?—Certainly not. Did any conversation take place about the linens in your pre sence?—Not any. Did any conversation take place about the reduction of your debt ?—The conversation that took place was in the presence of his brother George. It was on the 31st July, respecting a reduction to make to his brother, the bankrupt, and which had been spoken of by Messrs. Gladstone the day before. Do you recollect what that reduction was?—l told his brother George, the bankrupt had complained of our not giving him sufficient support, and that he had not an swered the references so as to gain him good credit, or words to that effect; and that having so large an account with us was injurious to him, and said we had no wish to injure him, and not to lie under that opinion. We had therefore made up our minds to settle our account, and that we had taken a partner from a very respectable house for that purpose. Was that all that was said ?—I do not recollect anything more particular. He seemed to be pleased. Had you any other interview with him ?—The bankrupt returned the same day and wished to know how much we in tended to write off his account, and. Mr. Gladstone replied 2,3001. The bankrupt said, that is very handsome, and that he would take 10 days to consider of it. Was there any calculation at that or any oth r interval in July gone into by the bankrupt, at a hich you were presen- ? Yes, about the 13th July. He called and said he could not find for any one to take the account, but he had a proposition to make from his brother George, that he felt very uncom fortable about the security of the 7,000/. ; that Mr. Rogers knew nothing about it. Did you ask the bankrupt if his estate would pay 10s. in the pound ?—No ; the bankrupt called two or three times to in duce it= to give up the brother's security, which we, on all oc casions declined doing ; and upon one occasion, towards the end of July, the bankrupt said if he were to be unfortunate and driven into the Gazette, his estate could notpay so little as 10s. in the pound, and therefore in any way we could not lose so much as we offered to take off his account, urging this as a reason why we should change securities with his brother George, and give up the 7,0001. security. On one occasion ' being asked why he did no t b r i ng hi s brother George over, he said he was very unhappy about his wife's illness, and that she never would be better, or words to that effect. Are you certain that this last interv:ew occurred in the latter end of July, or beginning of August ?—I believe it was in July. Did you call on the bankrupt or Mr. G. Hitchcock on 4th June, 1841, and obtain a renewal of the promissory-note for 7,000/. ?—Yes. I called on George. Did you obtain the renewal of that note ?—Yes. Did you give up the original note ?—I think I did. I think he would have required it. Did you require payment of the original note, or any part of it ?—No. Did you in Feb., 1841, give instructions to your clerk to ob tain the bankrupt's acceptance for 5251. 12s. 6d. as interest fur the 7,000/.?—No. Do you know if Mr. Gladstone or any person in your house gave such instructions ?—No. Do you know if you now hold beyond the pecuniary securities following, viz.: -1,000/., George Hitchcock's guarantee; Ba.• zecott's security for 500/.; and the note for 7,000/.;—Messrs. Ileeles and Co.'s bill for 8631. odd, and the additional security of Heeles and Co.'s 2031. 17s. 10d., and Dobson's acceptance for 50/. ?—I think we hold the two first, and that the last has been paid ; and that we also hold one of 500/., of which 300/. has been paid. Do you know if an action is pending against Heeles and Co. for the recovery of his securities ?—Yes, I think there is. Have you the cheque for 2,000/. ?—No. Did you take that cheque to Messrs. Overy ?—Yes, on the 4th May. On the occasion of your paying that cheque to Messrs. Overy and Co., did you obtain from them the bill of ex change for 2,000/. ?—No. The witness here corrected his answer as to taking the cheque to the Messrs. Overy. Did not know to whom it was taken. Do you believe that cheque was given to take up the bill of 2,000/. ?—I cannot tell. Has you firm received that bill due on the 4th of May from Messrs. Overy ?—I do not know. Have you received it from your own bankers ?—Not to my knowledge. Have you seen it since it became due ?—Not to my recollec tion. The examination of the witness here concluded. The case of Messrs. Cook and Gladstone terminated here. Mr. Maisnox addressed the Court on behalf of the bank rupt ; and regretted that a case so peculiar and so interesting to all commercial people was not confined to abler hands. Mr. Mardon went into the evidence as detailed, mid which we have given at so much length ; and contended that the bankrupt's balance-sheet was perfeAly correct, and that he had given up all his estate to his credi t‘Ts. He did not intend to justify his conduct on the occasion of his giving up his linens to the Messrs. Cook and Gladstone. On that occasion he was wanting in moral courage, but he was not treated in the manner which his straightforward conduct merited. 1 CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COORT. John Retry, 25, was Indicted for feloniously stealing a cash box, several bills of exchange, some draughts n upon is / o l r fes o sr o s.

The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and the prisoner was sentenced to ten years' transportation. Joseph Cherry was indicted for feloniously cutting and maiming John Raymond, with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm. Mr....Clarkson defended the prisoner. It appeared that. on Dec. 28, the prosecutor and the pri soner, who lodge in the same house in Whitechapel, had some altercation together ; and the prisoner, who was very drunk and violent, suddenly left the room, and shortly afterwards the prosecutor was told that he was coming to him with a knife, and he almost immediately entered the room with a knife in his hand. The prosecutor told him to drop it, and he re plied, " No, I mean it for you ;" and he immediately plunged the knife into his right arm. It appeared that the wound was very severe, and that the prosecutor was laid up for five weeks in the hospital, The Jury found the prisoner guilty ; and Mr. Justice CRESSWELL sentenced him to be imprisoned and kept to hard labourfor six calendar months. The Learned Judges left the Court about one o'clock, for the purpose of attending the House of Lords. (Before the BEco ELDER. ) The officer of the Court informed the Recorder that a wit ness, whose name was upon the back of a bill, refused to take the oath. The RECORDER directed the individual to stand forward, and he accordingly got into the witness-box.. It was stated that he was the _same person mentioned in the police report of Thursday. The RECORDER asked why he refused to be sworn. He answered that he had a conscientious scruple to take an oath, believing it contrary to the dictates of Scripture. The RECORDER enquired whether he belonged to the So ciety of Friends, or to any other society that by Act of Parlia ment was excused from taking the ordinary oath ?—He replied that he did not think the law exempted him, but he must de cline to take the oath. The RECOREER said if there was any particular form of oath which he considered binding upon his conscience, he was at liberty to make use of it; but otherwise the law required him to take the oath, and he was bound to obey the law, and he (the Recorder) could not release him from his liability. The individual said he could not take the oath. He felt so strong a scruple to doing it, that he had alloived property to be stolen from hi m w ith out ta ki ng any proceedings against the parties. The RECORDER—That is to say, you acquiesce in a felony rather than perform a duty which the law casts upon you for the protection of society. The person remarked that he did not think his evidence was material. The RECORDER said he could not go into the question of the materiality of his evidence.—(lt turned out that the per son was a pawnbroker, that some of the stolen property was pledged with him, and his evidence was, therefore, very im port ant.) The RECORDER observed that it appeared he was a material witnesss, and if he refused to be sworn he must take the con sequences. The Court was bound to obey the law, and to put it in force, he book was then tendered to him, when he refused to be sworn. The RECORDER endeavoured to induce the person to alter his determination, and pointed out to him the necessity of POLICE INTELLIGENCE.- MAR LB OROUGH-STREET. Wednesday, John Smith, a sturdy labouring man, was charged with drunkenness, begging, and violently as saulting John Horsford, a constable of the Mendicity Society. Horsford stated that he saw the man on Tuesday evenin g begging in Oxford-street. He heard him use abusive and indecent language to ev. ry one who refused to give him money, and then he went with his brother to take him into custody. The prisoner, who is a very powerful man, immediately knocked both constables down, and a desperate struggle commenced. The pri soner kicked witness over all parts of the body, and re sisted with such ferocity that had not . persons come to the assistance of the constables the prisoner would have got away. Mr. MALTBY considered the case as one of a very ag gravated description, and, th ere f ore, sentenced the man to three months imprisonment. Mr. Chapple, vestry clerk of St. George's, attended yesterday before Mr. Maltbv, to give some explanations relative to the ease of the girl Laws, which appeared in the papers of Saturday last. Mr. Chapple said the girl was now an inmate of the workhouse, and on the next Board-day her ease would be inquired into. lie had, however, no doubt that the sequel of the investigation would prove that her proper parish was St. James's. He wished to vindicate Mr. Uowad from the imputations thrown upon him by some portion of the Press, in consequence of the statement of Mr. Nicholson, that the girl in the first instance received a shilling from Mr. Romad to get a bed in the parish of St. James. The reverse of this, he asserted, was the fact. THE HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT. (From The Sun of yesterday.) Wednesday the very extensive preparations in and about the House of Lords, for the reception of her Majesty and her Illustrious visitor to open the Parliament, were completed, but not until a late hour; and during the day many upholsterers, men and women, carpenters, &c., were actively occupied with the works. The reason of their labours being thus protracted was the alterations made in the usual preparations, to accommodate the great accession of numbers in the Long Gal lery, in the . Peers' and Strangers' Galleries, as well as in the body of the House. Heretotbre the arrangements were such, that all persons Who procured tickets could be seated. Now that plan is entirely altered. Hence a tar larger number of persons will be admitted; it perhaps would not be quite correct tosay aceommodated. All are tostand. There'are several additional rows of graduated star ions in the Long Gallery, railed in front, but no seats. - In some instances thero will be four, five, and six rows of per sons, the stations going to a vast height.; and there are many of these raised platforms where no places were previously allowed for visitors. To all these places the company will be admitted early, but there is not the least opportunity to sit down, except among the feet, sh ink! there happen - to be room, of those behind them. The side or Peers' galleries are also without seats; the two rows of seats heretofore in them were yesterday removed, and arrangements made for the introduction of three and four rows of ladies, Peeresses,. and Peeresses' daughters, having the galleries in addition to a considerable portion of the body of the House. All the seats are re moved also from the Strangers' and Com mons Membe rs ' gall er y,. except_ the fro n t row usually occupied by reporters, but the '' fourth" is on the present occasion to give way to the part ners and daughters of the second estate. Even from the body of the House all seats for Peers,:&c., are removed, one row on each side excepted. JUdging from the arrangements made, and the tickets issued, it is expected that every part of the Howe and galleries, except around the Throne, will be crowded to excess, nearly all the company being without seats. The whole ar rangements, however, are such, by means of gra dually raised flooring, &c , as to secure to every person in the Royal Gallery the view of her Ma jesty and the Royal visitors with their respective retinues as they pass to the H ouse o f Lords, and to those in th e House the co rn pl etest v i ew of the Throne. Such has been the a nxiety itt this re spect,that the flooring behind Black Rod'sbox,and at the lower end of the House below the bar, is reconstructed OH all unexceptionably asce nding scale. As the admission of such vast numbers as will assemble wit!lin the walls of the House will somewhat try the strength of various places where company may be assembled, it is right and prudent to state that the galleries, and platforms in the Royal Gallery, &c., have been subjected to the severest trials by the accumula tion on them of more weights than can be assem bled on one to-day. For instance, in the Stran gers' Gallery, at the lower end of the House, set apart for Peereses and their daughters, nearly 300 men have been introduced at one time, and experiments of a similar character have been ap plied to the Peers' side-galleries, and the lodge ments in the Royal Long Gallery. The elevation on which the throne is stationed and the floor of the House have been newly carpet 'tenew--new crimson velv e t, new cold d The bandinghi one is ne and fringe, with newly-cover e d footstool. But the Prince of Wales's chair a n d t footstool, now placed on the right ofthe Throne, and on a level with it, may be termed the gems of the House. They are exquisite tasteful pieces of workmanship. The chair is of the same pattern with the throne, but somewhat smaller. Like the throne, it is covered with crimson vel;- vet, bordered with wide gold banding, and deco rated with rich deep gold fringe. The back is high, and surmounted with appropriate devices from the Royal Arms. About two-thirds high are embroidered the Prince s feathers, the feathers in silver, banded and bounded with gold, and the workmanship evinces first-rate artistical skill. They stand out boldly as it' literally waving over the fpundation of " Ich Dien." The canopy is only renovated. The velvet has been " redipped," and there still remain embroidered on it the letters "G. II.," prepared for George IV., and which answered for the Latinized name of 'Wil liam IV. but which will not look very well over the head and crown of Queen Victoria. - As that t e r i l v e i w t h v s e t l i v c e ir t zr d e seemsaenv(eireyfftleiciitifitelse im curious correct lettering should not have cha rac t er i se d t h e sbee n appearance of the Royal canopy over the Throne on the present distimoished occasion, The summit ofthe canopy, however, is beautifully redecorated, having around it new gold fringe, and on the drapery appear crowns boldly embroidered. - On the right of the Throne, but on the floor of the • House, and near the Bench of Bishops, is a plain chair for the King of Prussia, and on the left of the Throne, as heretofore, is placed Prince Al bert's chair. Under the Peers' Gallery, on the left of the Throne, and in line with the Opposition benches, are placed four chairs. These will be occupied by Foreign Princes, and in the even ing are to be devoted to the King of Prussia, &c., should he feel disposed, which it is expected he will, to see the Lords assembled in their delibe rative capacity, and to hear the debate on the Address. In the House of Commons further improve ments, by time introduction of additional glasses around the flames, have been made by Mr. Gu rney, whose plan, it will be remembered, super seded that of Sir F. T renc h, not only in the House, but in the Speaker's room, „in the lobby, and the passages leading to the House; and the effect of all th ose li g h ts as so altered was tested yesterday, on Tuesday, and on several previous evenings. For the preservation of or - der in approaching the House of Lords, and to prevent Members rushing forward and getting in front of the Speaker, and the unseemly bustle thereby occasioned, there have been prepared barriers along the passage leading to the bar of the House of Lords, which will effectually guard against the recurrence of such inconvenience. __ _ _ • _ _ _____ ._ .
