LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, August 3. (Before the LORD CHANCELLOR, at his private residence.) IN RE EDWARD VICARS, AN ALLEGED LUNATIC. - _ This was a petition of Hannah Vicars, of Liverpool, Spinster, a sister and one of the next kin of Mr. Edward Vicars (the alleged lunatic), setting forth that the said Ldward Vicars, of Liverpool, wine and spirit merchant, now is, and for some time past has been, so far deprived of his reason and understanding that he is rendered al together unfit and unable to govern himself, or manage ltis affairs; and praying that a Commission in the nature of a writ Lunatic° lnquirendo might issue to inquire of tb.e alleged lunacy of the said Edward Vicars. Mr. Rolt, 40., and Mr. Renshaw appeared on behalf of the petitioner; and Mr. Matins, Q.C., and Mr. Jolliffe represented the alleged lunatic. Mr. Edward Vicars, the alleged lunatic, is 46 years of age, and the son of a small farmer and cloth manufac- Laren. in Eskdale, near Whitehaven, who recently died at the advanced age of 80 and upwards. The alleged lunatic served an apprenticeship to a spirit dealer at Broughton-on-Furness, in the county of Lancaster; arid eventually, in the month of January, 1835, went into partnership with his brother, Mr. Matthew Vicars, and Mr. Sohn Newby Moore, as soda• water manu facturers, distillers, and wine-merchants, at Liver pool. this partnership continued until 1845, dur ing the whole of which time Mr. Edward Vicars anted as traveller for the firm. In 1844, from the ex cit: tag, lire he had been leading for some years, which cow gelled him to live somewhat freely, his health gave way ; he was seized with delirium tremens, and having also had some domestic differences with his wife, he 'withdrew from the active part he had taken in the busi ness of the firm, and retired into the country, at a place called Hulken Ground, near Broughton-on-Furness, a:few miles from his father's house, where, in the latter end of 1846, he had another attack of delirium tremens, from which, however, he shortly recovered. In February, 1847, he had again a still more severe attack,Jwhich was of longer duration, and as he was then much excited and suffered under certain delusions, he was, under the advice of a Mr. Atkinson, his medical attendant, removed to the Walton Lodge Lunatic Asylum, near Liverpool, whence he con trived to escape on the 19th of March last, and has con tinued at large ever since. Mr. ROLT, in support of the petition, read the affi davit of Mr. Joseph Churton, a surgeon of Liverpool, who deposed that he had known the alleged lunatic for fifteen years, and had been his medical attendant. On the 25th of February, 1847 he, at the request of Mr. Matthew Vicars, his brother and partner, visited Mr. Edward Vicars, for the purpose of inquiring into the state of his mind, and found him labouring under strong mental delusions, amongst others, that he (the alleged lunatic) had no stomach or intestines. Mr. Churton then certified that he was of unsound mind, and upon that certificate he was taken and incarcerated in the Walton Lodge Lunatic Asylum, conducted by Dr. Lich field. On the 17th of January last Mr. Churton was again called in to visit the alleged lunatic, and found him labouring under mental delusions, the most conspicuous of which was, that electricity was a powerful agent in the production of insanity, that such agency was exercised upon himself by the magistrates and other design ing people without the asylum, aided by those witht a, for the purpose of keeping him in a st a te of lunacy, so as to justify his deten tion in the asylum. A great number of affidavits to the same effect were read by Mr. Rolt, from which he contended that, in February, 1847, when he was taken to the lunatic asylum, the alleged lunatic was not of souiid mind. Mr. Mausts said he shonlfi not dispute that. Mr. Rota s lid, undoubtedly the deinsions, such as they were, of the alleged lunatic, had been very much modified by the treatment of Dr. Lichfield, but still they continued to some extent, and to such ex tent that his partners could not deal with him in reference to the affairs of the partnership, or to its dissolution, and that he could not be entrusted with the management of his own fortune, now very considerable, arising out of the prosperous state of the firm of which he was a member. The partners of the alleged luaa'ic hid offert-d that if he could produce cer tificates of his sanity by two eminent physicians, be tween whom there was no concert, they would at once treat with him with a view to dissolve partnership, and divide with him the capital and profit of the concern. Mr. linssriaw followed on the same side. He eon tenied that the affidavits showed a very strong animus on the part of the alleged lunatic towards lunatic asy lum;, and that it was impossible to say what that delu sion might drive him to do. The assassin, M•Naughten, believing that the Government of the country had per secuted him in some way, was driven to take away the life of Mr. Drummond, whom he mistook for the Prime Minister. It was idle to say that the alleged lunatic, Mr. Edward Vicars, was now a perfectly mild and sane man. M•Naghten was remarkably mild at home, in the bosom of his family, who had no idea that he laboured under any delusion, and see the awful catastrophe which resulted from his going at large. The business in which Mr. Vicars, the alleged ltinalic, was a partnt r, begin in 1835, when each of the three partners subscribed a capital of 1,0001. That business had beea eminently prosperous, and was now worth 16,0001. Oaght a man, subject to a delusion such as had been described, to have the entire control of his property? He submitted that under all the circum stances the case was one which called for inquiry by a ury J . The affidavit of Dr. Southey was read, who deposed that he had vi,ited the alleged lunatic so recently as in July last, and that on all ordinary subjects he was sane and capable of managing his own affairs; but re specting electricity, and its powers of being applied in such a Ma Auer as to enable the keepers of madhousea to render their patients insane and to keep them in that state, he laboured under a delusion. The affidavit of Dr. Southey concluded in these words—" Now, although I am convinced that in his preent state of mind it would be an act of cruelty to place Mr. Edward Vicars in any asylum, or, indeed, to interfere with his free agency, yet I an sorry to say that I would not assert my belief that he is of perfectly sound mind, in consequence of the above stated delusion re specting electricity." The LORD CHANCELLOR said it would seem from Dr. Southey that a person may be of unsound mind, but yet capable of managing his own affairs. Mr. %lahms slid he appeared for Mr. Edward Vicars, the alleged lu,atie. In the early part of 1847 Mr. Vicars was undoubtedly of unsound mind. That was the result of excessive drinking, induced by his habits of life, he being the travelling partner of his firm—that of wine and spirit merchants, and compelled to drink with their custom' rs. Though, in the first instance, he was perhaps properly enough confined in a lunatic asylum, yet his delusion speedily assumed so modified and harm less a form under the treatment he received there, that it amounted to a grievous and intolerable cruelty and wrong to keep him incarcerated there fur a period of two }ears. In that place he was never visited by his friends or partners; they, on the contrary, stood care fully and coldly aloof, and never took any steps to ascertain wh it:modifications his malady had undergone, or to procure his release from a place which ho loathed and abhorred, and so to restore him to the bosom of his family and the world. This treatment, added to his own consciousness that he was perfectly able to ma nage his own affairs, so excited and irritated his feelings as to induoe a degree of violence, in which his original delusion was to some extent merged and forgotten. It was under those feelings that he had effected his escape from the asylum in March last; and no sooner had he recovered his liberty than his delusion and vio lence left him, and his whole deportment assumed that mildness and intelligence by which he was characterized aforetime. The Learned Counsel read a voluminous mass of affidavits to prove the alleged lunatic's sanity since his release, into which our limits will not allow us to enter. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, independently of the question, whether the alleged lunatic was of unsound mind or not, there was the position in which he stood with regard to his property. Mr. MALms said he understood the issue which the other side raised was that there should be two indifferent medical men to report on the state of his mind. The LORD CUANCELLOR was much disposed to nomi nate two indifferent medical men, but he did not bind the parties to it. It seemed to him that it would be much better for the alleged lunatic if the partnership were put an end to. The delusions of the party had certainly bean very much reduced. He (the Lord Chancellor) had seen proof of a very great improvement ; that was borne out by all the medical men, except one. The weight, however, of the medical testimony was, as to the degree of recovery, but as to there not being an entire re covery, the evidence was very conclusive. Under all the circumstances, his Lordship directed a com mission to issue, and within a week, it the parties could prepare thPrnselves. His Lordship also directed that the sum of 2001. was to be advanced out of the partnership estate to Mr. Bolden, the alleged lunatic's solicitor, to enable him to prepare and conduct his case on the forthcoming inquiry, Mr. Bolden undertaking to account for that sum in such way as the Lord Chancellor shall direct. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, Aug. 3. BROGDEN V. TUE SOUTH EASTERN RAILWAY COMPANY (THE NORTH KENT LINE). This case was again mentioned , and his HoNotut made an order to this effect—viz: ‘‘ The company, submitting to such order as she Court might make as to giving up the line, and the payment to the plaintiff of money due and to become due under their contract, and the order of the 16th o f J u l y, an d to suc h accounts an d i nquir ies las might be directed, the Court ordered the company to pay to Mr, Rrogden, within a fortnight, the balances of all that was due, as certified by the company's engineers in respect of the work done under the contract; and the engineers were ordered to certify within a month what was due to the plAintiff up to the 21st ult., and to pay ,the amount within a fortnight. The Master was direct, d was to inquire whether the railway complete so as to b e fit for the public use by twelve o'clock on Si.turl s3 the 21st, and if not, what remained to be do ne to make it so fit, and to state any reasons for its non completi on . As to the 5,0001. expe lition money it raust be paid into eourt to abide the result of the inquiries." INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Au. 3. (Before Mr. Commissioner HARRIS.) - IN RE MATTHEW F. PEARSON. This insolvent, formerly the proprietor of the Satirist newspaper, was opposed by Mr. Cooke, on behalf of the Duke of Brunswick; Mr. Birnie supported. A clerk to the opposing creditor's solicitor prcducA the record of an action for libel instituted by the Duke of Brunswick ag hist the insolvent, in which he re covered a verdict 'or 1,5001. The costs were tax( d at 2101 4 no part of which, or the damages, had been paid. In reply to Mr. Coo z, the insolvent state that he had now no interest in tthe Satirist , haying disposed of it in 1846 to Mr. Carroll. THE = SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING i AUGUST 4 1849. To Mr. BIBNIE the insolvent said, in December, 1845, Mr. Gregory, the previous proprietor of the paper, ap peared as a theatrical pertormer, and a person was de puted to attend on behalf of the Satirist and criticise the performance. On Mr. Gregory's next appearance at the Haymarket Theatre, in June, 1846, the same course was adopted. Mr. Coons said his Noble client sought the protection of this Court to put an end to a course of the most vio lent, cruel, and malignant persecution, by means of libels, that ever any person had been expbsed to. The Duke had suffered an inconceivable amount of annoy ance, and had tried all the powers of the law to protect himself from the vile slanders, not one part of which had ever, in the course of the manifold proceediegs, been even attempted to be proved, although there was scarcely a single crime, not even murder, that had not been at some time imputed to him, and in this case the jury appeared to have fully appreciated the Duke's po sition by awarding extraordinarily heavy damages in hopes that the vile system may be stopped. During these proceedings his Highness had been put to enor mous costs, and doubtless the parties had expected that of the 15,0001. which he had expended in defending his character from their base attempts be would rather have applied some part in a way more in ac c o r d ance with their wishes and interests. The jury had by their ver dict recorded their opinion of the enormity of the of fence, and he (Mr. Cooke) submitted that the case was one meriting the application or the full penal powers of this Court. Mr. Biarim contended that libels were not necessarily malicious; and, although a proprietor of a p u bli ca ti o n was civilly liable for the acts of an i n di scree t servan t, yet it was necessary to prove the existence of malice be fore calling on this Court t o r eman d an i nso l ven t. In this case the majority of the libels imputed to the insol vent appeared in the S a ti r i s t l on g before he had any connexion with the paper at all; and the only two which appeared while he was exercising any control over it were critiques written by gentlemen on the establish ment in the ordinary course of their duty, who, having gone to witness the pertormance of Mr. Gregory, were disgusted with a scene most scandalous and un-English in its character, which, in the warmth of their indigna tion, they described in fervent terms. But those articles did not mention the Duke of Brunswick, nor was there the least allusion to him, and the verdict had been ob tained at the trial by an ingenious mode of fixing upon the insolvent the liability of articles which had appeared in the paper before his connexion with it. The Learned Counsel submitted that this Court, having the opportu nity, which the jury had not, of hearing the insolvent's own evidence, and hearing his denial of any intention to libel the Duke, would consider this case to be one in which there was no malice proved, and consequently no ground for a remand. Mr. Commissioner HARRIS deferred his judgment until Monday. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Hereford, Aug. 2. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice ERLE.) There' were only three cases remaining for trial to day. The first was a charge against a farmer, John Price, of having, on the 4th of April last, at Ma,dley, feloniously set fire to certain farm buildings in the possession of one John Smith. Mr. Skinner prosecuted and Mr. Cooke defended the prisoner. The fire, which consumed several farm buildings, and five cows and horses which were in them, was proved beyond doubt to have been the work of an incendiary, but the evidence was not sufficient to affect the prisoner with more than a strong suspicion that he was the guilty party, and he was consequently Acquitted. _ _ ARSON.—John Jones, an awkward-looking lad, about 14 years of age, was indicted for setting fire to farm premises at Preston-on-Wye, on the 23d of April. Mr. Cooke and Mr. Cripps appeared for the prosecu tion. The prisoner was undefended. The present was a striking instance of the terrible amount of mischief which a revengeful child (for the prisoner appeared little more) might perpetrate. The premises were the property of the Dean and Chapter of the Cathedral of Hereford, and were tenanted by a Mr. Davis, the prosecutor. So rapid was the conflagration that although numbers were speedily assembled on the spot, it being not later than eight o'clock at night, the whole premises, consisting of two barns, several sheds, outhouses, stables; &a., were entirely consumed, the loss amounting to above 1,2001. It appeared that on the morning of the 231 of April, the prosecutor being dissatisfied with the prisoner, who was in his service, had taken away from him the care of his horses, and appointed another boy in his place, putting the prisoner to what he considered some lower occupation; and this prisoner, who had a few days previously gone over with another boy to see the ruins of the fire at Madley, for which the preceding prisoner, John Price, ;had been tried, appeared immediately to have conceived the design of avenging himself on his master in the mode that had unfortunately been thus suggested. Some expressions were used by him during the day which were not attended to at the time, but which were explained by what followed. It was proved that he was among the last party of workmen who left the premises, and after parting from them to go home he must immediately have run round to a barn at the other end of the buildings, and, after applying a lucifer match, of which he was shown to have pos sessed himself during the day, and running away for a little space, he himself, as so commonly happens in the case of an incendiary, was the first to give the alarm of fire. With the exception of some trifling matters of little weight, there was no evidence to connect him with the offence. But he had subsequently made a statement, amounting to a confession, to the sister of he prosecutor, which, it appeared he had been induced to do by a promise made by her to endeavour to obtain pardon for him from her brother. The Learned Judge seemed to be of opinion, that as the sister had no au thority to make any such promise, the statement would bu receivable in evidence; but as the prisoner bad sub sequently repeated a statement nearly similar to a po liceman, it became unnecessary formally to decide that paint. The statement so made was to the effect that he had ignited the match in a stove, and applying it to the straw in the barn, the whole was instantly in a blaze. The jury found him Guilty, but recommended him to mercy on account of his youth; and The Learned JUDGE, after commenting strongly upon the enormity of such an offence, sentenced him to be transported for fifteen years. James Williams, 21, was indicted for burglary, and his mother, Charlotte Williams, 52, for fekniously re ceiving a quantity of silver plate, the produce of her son's alleged crime. Mr. HUddieston prosecuted; and Mr. Skinner defended the prisoners. _ It appeared that in October last, the house of two Quaker ladies, n imed Chandler, who live together near Hereford, was broken open and their plate stolen. Two brothers, named Morris, and the male prisoner, were ap prehended for the theft; the male prisoner was discharged, hut the Morrises were committed, and being tried for the offence at the last assizes, were convicted and sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment. After their conviction they severally made statements implicating the prisoners, who were thereupon apprehended. The Morrises, who were brought from the gaol by a writ of habeas corpus, now swore that the burglary was committed by the younger Morris and James Williams, and that the elder Morris knew nothing of it until afterwards, when he endeavoured to dispose of some of the plate to screen his brother. They also swore that Charlotte Williams received the stolen property. On cross-examination the younger Morris admitted that he had been flogged in prison since his conviction for misconduct, and that he hoped part of his sentence would be remitted if through his evidence the prisoners were convicted. He be haved, however, with great levity in the box, and it was evident the jury attributed no weight whatever to his testimony. On the other hand, the elder Morris professed great repentance, which he attributed to the perusal of the Scriptures during his confinement, and said he was quite willing to expiate it as far as he could, by suffering the whole of his punishment. He, however, admitted that he had previously taken a false oath, and his wife, who was called as a corroborative witness, also admitted she hoped the result of the trial would shorten his term of imprisonment. The other witnesses called to corroborate the Morrises spoke only to comparatively trivial matters, while, on the other hand, some neigh bours of the prisoners, who were bail for Charlotte Williams, gave both of them an excellent character. Mr. Justice ERLE summed up the evidence with cha racteristic care and lucidity, and The jury, after brief deliberation, returned a verdict of Acquittal. With this case (at five P.M.) the assizes at Hereford terminated. WESTERN ClRCUlT.—Bridgewctier, Aug. 2. CIVIL SlDE.—(l3fore Mr. Justice WILLIA.DIS and a Common Jury.) MELHUIBII V. CuLLIER. Mr. Cockburn, Mr. Sergeant ICinglake, and Mr. Leigh. were counsel for the plaintiff; and Mr. Crowder and Mr. Smith for the defendant. This was an action brought to recover compensation for an assault and battery. The plaintiff was a girl who had lived servant to the defendant, who was a farmer near Wellington, in this county; and it appeared that he bad two servant girls, and that he was in the occasional habit of kissing these girls, which made his wife jealous, and created unpleasant feelings in her mind. Upon one occasion, the defendant was endeavouring to push his wife up the stairs, when the plaintiff and the other girl went to the protection of their mistress, and the defen dant struck the plaintiff on her breast, which had pro duced a tumour which was described by three surgeons. The first said it was as large as a bantam's egg, the se cond described it as being the size of a walnut, and the third said it was not bigger than a filbert. For the defendant, it';as urged that the tumour might have been produced by other means, and that the matter had been brought forward upon an expectation that the defendant would pay some money rather than allow the case to come into court. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 50L PRATT V. HARDISTY. Mr. Crowder, Mr. Cockburn, and Mr. Karslake were counsel for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Kinglake and Mr. Smith for the defendant. _ _ seduction of the plaintiff's daughter, This was an action to recover CO Pratt that she appeared f rom t h e ev id ence o f M art h a I m i pati a e rt n h s a o p n ra fo tt r . the seduction of the pinntiff's daughter, Martha Frau. It winags P2a2riyseharrseloieff.ageT. he r o t m b e o r t . he t r h o w u a g s h a poo wi r d , o w h a , drecdeoinve the best she could for her family. Her eldest daughter was servant to the defendant's mother, and the girl in question had been apprenticed to a dressmaker when she was 14 years old. She had for the last tour or five years employed herself in making dresses for different persons, and, amcng others, for the defendant's mother; but she lived with her own mother, who was 60 years of age, and made the beds and did the household work. The tonedMant was th his a silk-man uf acturer, residi ng at Shoptt wi mother. When the girl was there at work he used to take every opportunity of speak ing to her. On the 12th of August she had been to take her sister a frock, and as she waa coming out of the house, between nine and ten o'clock at night, she saw the defendant standing at the gate. As she was about to pass him, he, without saying a word, seized her, took her in his arms, and carried her into the counting-house. He then put her down, and closed the first door and fastened it. He then took her into the inside counting-house, and fastened that door. She reasoned with him, but the injury took place. She then reasoned with him on the case, and dared him ever to interrupt her again, and told him she was not the girl he supposed her to be. He said he knew that, and he liked her the better. She said he had ruined her, and she did not know how to get out of the house. He said he would go and see if there were any one about, and he left the counting-house. She then found he had put some silver in her pocket. She took it out and placed it o❑ the desk in the counting-house, and went away. In about a month, as she was coming oat of the house of the defendant's brother, the defendant seized her again and repeated the conduct he had before prac tised. He would not let her have any peace ; he was always terrifying her, and tried to repeat his conduct several times, but she would not let him. In January she found herself in the family-way, and she told her mother, and such was the effect upon the old woman that she was insensible for a night and day, and in a most sad state of distress, and it was necessary to have a doctor to attend her. The girl swore she was virtuous up to that time. She was confined in May. The girl gave her evidence with great propriety and modesty. For the defence it was contended that this was an attempt to turn a case, which was only one for an order of affiliation, into an action of seduction, that all the elements of seduction were wanting, and that it was the most worthless action ever brought into a court of justice. Mr. Justice WILLIams, in summing up, observed that there was sufficient proof of service, and if the jury be lieved the girl there was proof of the seduction. The girl's character had not been impugned. The plaintiff had produced witnesses to prove the good character of the girl, but the defendant's Counsel had objected to their being examined. The task they would have to perform would be to award the damages. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Da mages 1501. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.-IVewcastle-upon- Tyne, - Aug. 2. CIVIL SIDE.--(Before Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN.) SPOWARD V. YORK, NEWCASTLE, AND BERWICK RAILWAY. This was the only record left this morning to try. The action was brought under Lord Campbell's Act to ob tain compensation for the death of a relative of the a s u Y in er t d o i C b t e sh ap o p u o ld ra b o e ned en t a er s ed ag fo r r eed the to p plaintiff by a railway accident.

Join Hayes, Robert Bowey, Alexander Alexander, and Robert Codling were indicted for conspiring falsely, fraudulently, and feloniously to embezzle the sum of 101., the property of the York, Newcastle, and Berwick Rail way, their masters, the said money having been received by the said John Hayes by virtue of his employment for and in the name and on the account of his masters. Mr. Otter and Mr. Digby Seymour conducted the pro secution; Mr. Sergeant Wilkins, Mr. Grainger, Mr. Gray, and the Hon. A Liddle defended the prisoners. It appeared that for some time past the York, New castle, and Berwick Railway Company had been sur prised at a great diminution which had taken place in the receipts on their branch line, which runs from Newcastle to Tynemouth, which they did not conceive was warranted by the state of the traffic. The pri soners were all in the employ of the company on that branch. Hayes was the station-clerk at Newcastle, Alexander held the same position at the Percy Main station, Codling was ticket collector at North Shields, and Bowey was guard on the trains which run from Newcastle to Tynemouth. How any fraud could be com mitted it was difficult to ascertain; for the manner of ar ranging the tickets which were issued prevented any fraud being practised. All the tickets which are de livered to passengers are stamped in a machine at the audit-office of the company in York, with consecutive numbers, and are then made up into packets and sent to the different station clerks, who have orders to place them in tubes kept at the different stations, in such a manner that the ticket with the lowest number may be at the top of the tube, that with the highest at the bot tom; and then by machinery inside the tube, the tickets can be pushed up to the top of the tube one by one, num bered consecutively. In this manner they are delivered by the station clerk to the passengers, who deliver them up to the ticket-collectors at the stations where they alight, and it is the duty of the ticket-collector at each station to make up into packets the tickets he receives, and to deliver them to the station clerk, who forward. them the next day by the ten o'clock train to the audit office of the company at York. The station clerks send the account of the tickets they issue, the account of the amount they receive, and the amount itself, at the close of each day, to the office at York, and the correctness of the receipts is tested by the amount of money received agreeing with the tickets collected by the ticket collec tors. A fraud could not, therefore, be practised unless several servants of the company should combine toge ther. A watch 'was placed on the traffic of the New castle and Tynemouth line the first few days of April last by the agents of the company, and the third-class passengers were made to show their tickets to an officer of the company as they proceeded to take their seats; this was done in the morning and also in the afternoon of several days, and it was then discovered that tickets issued in the morning were re-issued in the afternoon at the Newcastle station, the number on the tickets being the same. Agents who went down the line likewise saw the prisoners Codling and Alexander deliver small par cels of tickets to the prisoner Bowey, which was contrary to their orders, for the purpose, as suggested by the prosecution, of being conveyed back to the prisoner day e 3, to be re-issued by him, so that the money received by him from the passengers holding the re-issued tickets might be embezzled. Upon these facts being discovered all the prisoners were given into custody, and their per sons and houses were searched; upwards of 50 tickets were found on Hayes, on Bowey's person and in his house were found upwards of 4001. In Alexander's house were found 50/., and in Codling's 151. 10s. This being the case for the prosecution, _ _ Mr. GRAINGER took objections to all the counts of the indietnient. The principal one was, that there was no embezzlement shown by the evidence adduced on behalf of the prosecution, as no money was proved to have been received by Hayes for the tickets on the second time of their issue, which was the money he was accused of em bezzling. His LORDSHIP said, that that was so. He did not see that there was any evidence to show that the passengers who had received the tickets on the second occasion of their issue had over paid any money. His Lordship also said that the evidence did not support the other counts. The jury was therefore directed to find a verdict of Not Guilty. Their Lordships proceed to Carlisle to-day. NORTH WALES CIRCUIT.— MoId, Aug. 2. The commissions of assize were here opened yester day before Mr. Justice Maule, and the business com menced this day. There were only 13 prisoners and three causes for trial. The Learned JUDGE, in his charge to the grand jury, congratulated them on the highly creditable state of the country. CROWN COURT. David Hughes, 30, was arraigned on seven coroner's inquisitions for resnslsughter, in seven deaths that oe curred by a colliery accident at Flint. The accident occurred last week. It appeared that, by some means, in raising the seven colliers from the pit they were drawn above the trill, and, losing their hold, the whole number were thrown precipitately down the shaft. Six of them were killed on the spot, and the other man died in a few hours - afterwards from the effects of the injuries he sustained. The prisoner was the person in charge of the machinery. Mr. WELSBY, for the prosecution, said the grand jury had ipnured the bills before them. He should not offer any evidence. It was due to the prisoner to say that he was not inexperienced in the management of steam-en gines, and that the unfortunate occurrence was the effect of accident. The JUDGE said he had read the depositions, and ap proved of the course taken by Mr. Welsby. The grand jury were of opinion that the mouths of coal-pits might be protected when the workmen were as cending and descending. Verdicts of Acquittal were taken in all the cases. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARYLEBONE. Mr. Thomas Pritchard, who — described himself as a gentleman residing at Nn. 3, Canterbury Villas, Maida vale, Paddington, was charged betore Mr. Broughton with having committed violent assaults upon Charles Kay, conductor of one of the Atlas omnibuses, running from St. John's Wood to Camberwell-gate. Complainant's evidence was, that on the previous evening, between five and six o'clock, he took up defend ant near Charing cross, and that on arriving at the cor ner of Baker-street he saw the defendant's foot upon the cushion. Ile said nothing to him then, but on getting into the Alpha-road, after putting down several passen gers, he asked defendant to take off his foot, when he replied, " I shan't." Complainant told him that if he permitted him to keep his foot where it was he should run the risk of being discharged by his employers, and on finding that his entreaty was of no avail he opened the door of the vehicle, when he laid hold of the toe of defendant's boot and removed the leg from the seat. Defendant then gave him several blows of a most violent description upon the face and chest, and on the vehicle reaching the corner of Little Earl•street the defendant was given into custody and conveyed to the station house. The defendant's answer to the charge was given by him at some length ; the purport of it was, he had his leg up, not on the cushion, but merely on the frame, and that he was spoken rudely to by the complainant, who caught bold of his leg, and he then struck him. Mr. BROUGHTON, after remarking upon the excellent manner in which the Atlas omnibuses were conducted, fined d- 1,-ndant 60s. ; in default of payment, one month in the House of Correction. The penalty was paid. Mr. David Williams, a chemist and druggist, resid ing in the Edgware-road, was charged, at the in stance of the Excise, with having on his premises an illicit still. Evidence was gone into, and it was shown that on an examination of the premises being made, the officers found in a room on the basement story a private still, complete in every part. There was some wash in a state of termentution, and spirits, partly manufactured, in bottles and jars. The officers took possession of all, and defendant was given into custody. A fine of 301. was inflicted ; in default of payment three months' imprisonment. LAMBETH. John Perry Henning, who asserted himself to be se. cretary to the Animals' Friend Society, alleged to have offices at 18, Strand, and Henry Roberts, his collector, were brought before the Hen. G. C. Norton, for further examination, charged with obtaining money from nu merous ladies and gentlemen in the metropolis, under false and fraudulent pretences; there never having been such a society in existence. Captain Wood, R. N., Secretary to the Mendicity So ciety, with Mr. Ferguson, his chief clerk, were in at tendance, to conduct the prosecution. The prisoners are men of very respectable appearance, and from their plausible demeanour were likely to impose upon the public to a great extent. They were appre hended' in the first instance by Horsford, chief constable of the Mendicity Society, for imposing on Mr. Hicks, the Sword Bearer of the City of London, from whom Roberts obtained se. The receipt was sigued by both of them. Horsford had since ascertained that both of them had obtained money from various other gentlemen, and that they had books containing a vast number of sham re porta, and to which was attached the names of a number of influential gentlemen as trustees, patrons, and com mittees. Ho had inquired and found they were inserted without their authority, and that the gentlemen in ques tion were unaware of the existence of such a society. Mr. Non Tort (to Horsford)--Have you any other charges against them for obtaining money? florsford—l have a gentleman present from whom Roberts obtained five shillings, and from whom Henning attempted to extort money. Mr. NORTON —Let me have all the evidence you can produce, as I shall thoroughly investigate the case, which is one of groat imposture. Mr. John Frazer, surgeon, said that on the sth June, 1848, Roberts called upon him, and solicited subscrip tions in aid of the Animals' Friend Society, at 18, Strand. lie produced a book containing reports of cases before theuie d perceiving t he names o f severa l n the supposed comm itt ee , h e gave n he recei ve d t h e rece ipt pro upon hi m a mon th ago , an d sus pecting the society was not all right, he told him to call again. Mr. NORTON asked Horsford whether the prisoner Henning ever had an office at 18, Strand ? Horsford re plied that the landlord of that house was present, and he could answer the question. Mr. Thomas Allen was then called, and said he rented 18, Strand. An Animals' Friend Society was held there by Mr. Gompertz, in 1846, but that gentleman left in the latter part of that year. On the 21st of May fait the prisoner Henning and another called on him, and said that as Mr. Gompertz had given up his society, they intended carrying it on, at the same time asking him to receive subscriptions for them as he had hereto fore done. Ile agreed to do so at a nominal price of a pound a quarter, but he never received any money. In fact, it was such a nuisance to him that he would have nothing to do with them. Parties inquired about the committee, and other things connected with the society, which raised his doubts. Henning here stated that he was about having a por tion of Mr. Allen's shop, and while the affair was before the committee he agreed to pay him a nominal rent of 11. per quarter for receiving letters. Mr. NORTON—Did Henning ever hire any office of you, or had he any room in your house? Witness—He did not at any time. Joha Murray, 403, Strand, was next called, and said that he knew Henning some time last year, as calling at his shop, and representing himself as secretary to the Animals' Friend Society " He had offices in his house for some weeks in the early part of the present year. He had no office there in June and July, 1848. Henuing—l always paid you the rent, and owe you nothing. Mr. Murray—Yes; you paid me the rent for the time you were there, that is perfectly right, but you had not offices there in June and July, 1848. Henning—l have acted honestly in all the transactions. I could show by my books 35 cases of cruelty that I have taken before the magistrates in the metropolis, and ob tained convictions:. My books are kept away from me, or I could ex . ptailyall satisfactorily. Horstord intotined the Magistrate that he had all the prisoner's books and papers found at his lodgings, which he could have access to, but none of them related to cases before, Magistrates. Horsford further added, that he had called on Mr. Gilbertson of 21, South Audley-street, whose name was not only down in the prisoner's book as a vice-patron, but as a liberal supporter of the society. That gentleman denied all knowledge of it, and at some future day would come forward to give evidence. Mr. Stevenson, of Upper Grosvenor -street, had also been grossly imposed upon by Henning, who called on him and told him the society was established, but he refused giving any money unless some of the committee called on him. He was much surprised at his name being in the list of the committee. Witness—l saw Mr. Stevenson, and he directed me to place his name on the committee. He could not deny it if he was present. Horsford—He has got among bis constables the name of William Adfield. the officer employed at Covent garden market. That party denied ever giving his sanction for such a proceeding. In fact, the whole of the names inserted in the books were falsely used to decoy the charitable. Mr. NORTON—I have no doubt that the whole con cern is a fiction, and that the prisoner Henning has been defrauding the public for a length of time. There ap peared to be a number of cases, and as I intend to send them for trial I shall give the officer 'every opportunity of obtaining all the evidence he can. Under these circumstances I shall remand the prisoners until Tnursday next. FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE OF FRIDAY. AUG 1, 1849.

WAKEFIELD, Auo. 3 —The arrival of wheat is good, and there is a moderate business passing in fresh English at prices nearly equal to those of this day week ; whilst for foreign there is very little demand, at a decline of 1 s per quarter.

Barley, beans, oats, and peas, short supply and in slow request, at about late rates. LIVERPOOL, AUG. 3.—The weather is fine, and we have a dull uninteresting trade in corn. The business at to-day's market was very moderate. The best quality of wheat and good brands of flour were not to be had ander Tuesday's quotations, but secondary samples were easier to buy. The price of Indian corn was irregular; 25s for 4801ba was accepted for the best yellow corn, whilst fine white brought 27s to 27s 6d per 480Iba, and a good clearance was effected at those rates. Oats and oatmeal were both dull. Grinding barley declined Id per bushel, and peas is per quarter. Egyptiaa beans were 6d per quarter cheaper. EXETER, .JUL- 3.—Cattle— The supply was moderate, but fully equal to the demand, and business generally wits slack. Good fat beef could be purchased for 8s 6d per score, but 9s was obtained in a few instances. Cows and calves were not plentiful, and none were of very su perior quality. Prices ranged from about 81 to 121 each. Barreners sold at 5s to 5s 6d per score; steers were not very numerous, a good pair was sold for 191. There was again a large supply of sheep and lambs, but the market was very dull. The best .at wethers were not worth more than 5d per lb, and many sold at a lower figure; ewes,4ld per lb; butchers' lambs, sid per lb; store hogs, 24s to 30s each; store lambs, 15s to 18s ditto. Pork Carcases—The smallest supply for the year, which sold at 83 to 9a per score. Pannier—Turkey poulrs, 5s to 6s 6d each; getse, 4s 6d to 6s each; ducks, 3s 6d to 5s 6d per couple; fowls, 2s 6d to 4s ditto; pigeons, is 8d ditto; roasters, 3s 6d to 4s 6d each. Butter, I Id to is per lb; eggs, 16 to 18 for Is. Potatoes very plentiful at 8d to 9:1 per score. Corn Exchange—The fine ness of the weather, the rrospect of abundant crops being saved in good condition, and the dulness at Mark lane on Monday, have all had an effect on the market to-day. The attendance f growers has been large, with a great desire on their part to reduce their stock of wheat on hand, which appears to be far greater than is generally supposed. The millers, however ; have not been eager buyers, and act with great caution. One or two parcels have been sold at 6s 2d, but most of the dealers refuse to exceed 6s; and some will not give that figure. English barley has not been much asked for, and must be quoted at 3s 6d to 3s 9,1; oat., 2s 6:1 to 2s 9d; foreign red wheat has been offered at 42s to 44s per quarter, and white ditto, 48s; foreign barley, 26s per quarter; fleir has met with a very dull sale, none of the bakers bu)ing more than is necessary for immediate want; fine flour must be quoted at 33s to 3 is per sack of 2801bs. DEVIZES, Ave. 2.—We have again to note a decline in the price of wheat of from la to SN per galtrtor, *Ad I very dull sale. The supply was largo. The highePt price for red wheat was 231 a sack; best white wheat, 23s to 24 , 1; best old red wheats, 223 to 9 33; new ditto , 21s 6i to 22s 6d ; secon d ditto, 18s 6d to 20s 6i; third ditto, 24s 6d to 17s 6d; barley, 30s to 34s 6d; beans , 16s to 20s; peas, 16s to 21s; flour, 35s to 40s; bes t bread, lld p.-1. 81b. BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, AUG. 3.—Our market con' tinues extremely dull, and finer sorts have still a downward tendency. The sales of the week are quite unimportant, and at easier rate s .
