This is an appeal from an order of Vice-Chancellor Stuart to dissolve an injunction against the defendant White, a bookseller, in Bloomsbury-street, restraining him from acting as agent of the Society for the Salo of Sweden borg's Works, and occupation of the premises. Mr. Bacon, Q.C., resumed his arguments for the appel lant. The case was proceeding when we went to press. couitT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, (Before the Lord Chief Justice, and Justices Crompton, Hill, and Wightman. RUSSELL V. THE GREAT SHIP COMPANY. This was an application to the Court for a rule to show cause why the award made by the arbitrators in this case should not be set aside. Mr. Bovill, Q.C, showed cause against the rule. From the observations of the learned gentleman, it appearedlthat Mr. Scott Russell was employed in the first company in constructing the Great Eastern, and in the contract signed there was a clause which set forth that in the event of any difference between Mr. Russell and the company arising, it was to be settled by arbitrators. During the continuance of the contract the company was reorgan ized, and a new set of directors were chosen in place of those who constituted the original board ; a dispute as to the meaning of the contract then occurred, and the matter was accordingly referred to arbitrators. The arbitrators decided in favour of the plaintiff for the whole amount claimed, which included the alterations which were not mentioned in the contract. A rule was asked to set the award aside on the ground that the arbitrators had no power to deal with matters not mentioned in the contract. Mr. Bovill contended that the arbitrators had such right, and that the extras fairly came within the meaning of the contract. On the other side it was contended that the arbitrators had exceeded their powers in dealing with the extras in the contract, as the words of the document were that " there shall be no extras," and that the contract only provided for the reference to arbitrators of those mat ters referred to them. There was also a cross-rule calling upon the company to show cause why they should not at once pay to Mr. Scott Russell the amount awarded him by the arbitrators. The arguments were being proceeded with when we went to press. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary,) SIMPSON Y. SIMPSON. This was a petition presented by Mrs. Mary Ann Simpson praying for dissolution of marriage on the ground of desertion and adultery. The respondent denied the de sertion without reasonable cause, and also that if adultery had been committed, the wife had condoned the offence. The marriage between the parties took place on the 12th of Feb ruary, 1849, and the learned counsel for the petitioner stated that the neglect of the wife commenced a very short time after marriage. The following witnesses were then examined : James Whiteside—l reside at Preston, and am an attor ney's clerk. I have known the respondent for upwards of 20 years. I also know the petitioner. I produce the mar riage certificate of Mrs. Simpson. They, after the mar riage, lived together for about two years. Mr. Simpson is not now in Preston. In 1859 I went to Mul house, Upper Rhine, and saw Mr. Simpson at the Ville de Paris. I visited him in his bedroom. I saw a female in bed with him. It was not Mrs. Simpson. I saw him the next day. When speaking of the fact I had seen the night previous, he told me he never would live with his wife again. He had cohabited with the person I had seen for two years. Joseph Redhead—l live at Preston. lam an operative cotton-spinner. In 1850 I went with Mr. Simpson to a brothel in Preston. I did not know where he was going to at first. He stopped at the house, and we both went in. Mr. Simpson sent for a bottle of wine. I partook of it, and then Mr. Simpson went upstairs with a woman, and I returned home. D EDITION. Mrs. Simpson---I am the petitioner in this suit. I last saw my husband in 1851. He sent to me at the place in which I was then resident. He told me he was going to the Exhibition in London, and wished me to go with him. On the Tuesday following he left me. I heard he had left England, and since then I have never seen him. He has never contributed to my support or written to me since. Cross-examined by Dr. Spinks—My husband has said he could not live with me on account of my violent temper, but that is untrue. He never complained of my extrava gance. It is untrue. He never paid bills for me. He never promised to amend his conduct. I did know of his intention of quitting England. Rule nisi granted. THE JUDGE AND THE TIA,RRISTERS. A learned counsel this morning, in referring to a case that was passed over yesterday, said he had to apologise for mentioning the case of Clark v. Clark which was set down for yesterday. The Judge Ordinary—A number of you gentlemen say "you have to apologise," but you never do.:What apology do you make ? COunsel—The case was passed over entirely owing to my absence, which was unavoidable. The Judge Ordinary—What do you wish to do ? Counsel—l wish to examine a witness to prove thq posi tion of the respondent in this case, which is one for pendente lite. The Judge Ordinary—Have the usual notices been served? Counel—l believe 80, my lord. The Judge Ordinary—l find one of the notices is with out the lame of the solicitors, which renders it informal. Counsel—Another notice was given to the officers of the COWL The Judge Ordinary—Yes, but not in time. I cannot pass over such irregularities ; if so, we should soon get into endless confusion. When professional men find the incon venience of being careless, they will pay more attention to their business. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Deputy Joyce.) OTJRIOUS CASE OP A HUSBAND'S NON-LIABILTTY. DIGGINS V. PIPER. In this case plaintiff sought to recover 235., the value of certain articles pledged by the defendant's wife, and for certain breakages. Mr. Sorrell, of Mark-lane, for the defendant, only ad mitted breaking one jug, valued at lid. Plaintiff stated that defendant's wife pledged articles belonging to plaintiff without her knowledge or consent. Mr. Sorrell—Can you show that defendant knew anything of it ? Plaintiff—No. I only know that he broke one of the jugs. His Honour—You have mistaken the remedy. If you wish to prevent further trouble you should consult a pro fessional gentleman. Mr. Sorrell—There is more in this than meets the eye ; but, in so far as the case has gone, I must contend that defendant is not liable for his wife's misconduct. His Honour--Clearly not. This was a case for another Court. Plaintiff will have a verdict for ls. for the ad mitted broken jug, but it is a question if, having taken these steps, she is not precluded from following another course as to the pledged property. Verdict for Is. POLICE INIELLIgENCE—(This Day). MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CAUTION TO HOUSE-ILEEP.ERS..--DARING ROBBERY.-- William Herben, an artful-looking fellow, who gave the address Horseferry-road, but which turned out to be false, was charged before Mr. Ty rwhitt with stealing a mahogany spirit case, the property of Mr. Thomas Arthur Bertie Mostyn, of 41, St, James's-place. Mr. Thomas Stock, of 25, Belgrave-plaee, Pimlico, a clerk, said he was at 41, St. James's-place, the previous evening, about 7 o'clock, and as he was going up the stairs he remarked to his sister that the parlour and street doors were open. He made the remark in a rather loud tone to his sister, and at that moment the prisoner rushed out of the house, coming from the parlour. He (witness) stayed at the door, thinking some others might be in the parlour, and a person went after the prisoner and brought him back, and shortly found the case where he had found the prisoner. Wm. Brown, servant to Mr. Mostyn, proved pursuing the prisoner, and bringing him back, and afterwards going back to the place where the prisoner had ran, and finding the case which was the property of his master, Mr. Mostyn, and which he had seen safe a short time before on the par lour, the door being closed after him. The outer door opened with a latch key. M'Mahon, C division, paid the prisoner had given a false address, and the prisoner, who had put one or two artful questions to the witnesses, was remanded. THAMES. CRUEL ROBBERY. - William Wilkinson, aged 20, a labourer, was brought before Mr. Selfe charged with steal ing a suit of clothes, and other property, valued at £5, the property of John Murray. In October last the prosecutor and the prisoner jointly occupied the same room at a dwelling house, 70, Back Church-lane, Whitechapel. On Oct. 19, the prisoner absconded, taking with him a suit of clothes and other articles the property of his fellow-lodger, and was not heard of or seen again by his landlady or Murray until yesterday, when he was met in High-street, Whitechapel, by Mrs. Jones, the landlady of the house, who gave him into cus tody. He had previously sent a duplicate relating to the stolen property which he had pawned, to the prosecutor. The duplicate was produced. The prosecutor, a hard working man, had been unable to redeem his property, and had been put great inconvenience. The prisoner made a random defence, in which he en deavoured to make it out that he was an ill-used individual, inasmuch as he had forwarded the pawnbroker's duplicate to the prosecutor. He ultimately pleaded guilty, and Mr. Selfe said that Murray was the ill-used person, for he had been basely robbed by a fellow• lodger of all his clothes. He sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned four menthe awl kept to hard labour. SUN OFFICE, Sem o'clock. TATTERSALL'S"-(THIS EVENING).

Day's lot (taken) A MAUVAISE PLAISAATERIE. The Courrzer of Lyons reports the following curious case as having come before the Tribunal of Correctional Police in that city on the 10th inst. : A well-dressed gentleman, of respectable appear ance, is brought before the court. He is pale, con fused, and seems ashamed. Everybody's eyes are fixed on him. What fault has he committed ? The witnesses shall inform us. Madame Piot (with tears in her eyes) states her name, Christian name, age , and profession. The President—Tell us with what you charge the defendant. Witness—On Christmas•eve that gentleman, who is an acquaintance of my husband's, paid us a visit, and asked us to go and sup with him after midnight mass. We thanked him, but told him we meant to return home after service. He insisted, saying that he meant to give us a capital jugged hare. He then left. I had, Monsieur le President, I had then, but I have now no longer —(here the witness wept) —my poor Juliette. ThePresident—You mean a cat that you called Juliette? Witness—Yes, M. le President. (Laughter.) I had then my poor Juliette—(renewed laughter) —and during the gentleman's visit she came and rubbed herself against his legs and mewed ; and the gentleman said, " Madame, you have a very fine Angola there." He then passed his hand along her back, and said, " Its fur is very silky; it is very fat; it would do capitally for a jugged hare." I did not pay any parti cular attention to his words; and I believe my husband said, laughing, "If ever you kill it, I beg you will keep the skin to make a muff for my wife." Some time after the gentleman's departure I felt a sad presentiment; the joke came into my mind, and I called " Juliette, Juliette," but Juliette did not answer. (Here the witness wept again, and there was laughter in court, while the defendant hid his face behind his pocket-handkerchief.) ThePresiden t—Be calm, madame; we understand your emotion, but after all it is only a cat. Witness—lt was such a nice one, and I was so fond of it. If you only knew. Well, that gentle man there called it down stairs, killed it, had it cooked like a hare, and gave it us for supper. It was abominable. My poor cat ! (Laughter.) The President—Sit down. The witness then retired wiping her eyes; After the evidence of a witness who had seen the defendant cut up poor Juliette, the defendant was interrogated. The President—Why did you take away the complainant's cat, and above all why did you kill it / Defendant—lt was a joke that I wished to play madame and her husband, by giving them a jugged cat as a Christmas supper. I did not mean any harm. I had often said to madame's husband " You have a very fine cat ; it would make a capital stew, and I should like to treat you to a dish of that kind." Madame's husband always replied " In any case you will say nothing to my wife till we have eaten it, and you will take care to keep the skin for tie." I regret to have caused grief to madame, but I repeat that I only intended a joke. The President—lt was an ill-naturedjoke. Besides the destruction of a domestic animal is an offence. Remember that. The Court fined the defendant 30f. TRIS DAY'S AtAllifETS. CORN EXCHANGE. INIr ERIAL WEEKLY AVERAGES. Wheat, 578 ld ; barley, 40s 6d ; oats, 22s 6d ; rye, 348 6d ; beaus, 43s 10d ; and peas, 44s 6d.

The show of sheep was very limited ; nevertheless the mutton trade was heavy, at a fall in prices of 2d per 81b. The best old Downs sold at 5s 10d per 81b. The few calves in the market were taken off freely at quite Monday's currency, the top figure being 5s 4d per 81b.

THE 3D CITY OF LONDON RIFLES.—Last night this corps, which is composed entirely of artisans and work ing men, mustered for company and battalion drill in the Floral Hall, the use of which had been kindly lent to them by Mr. Gye for that purpose. About 1,600 members are already enrolled ; and, with the exception of the Six Feet Guards, it is perhaps the only volunteer force which has a bright scarlet uniform. The dress, which consists of a handsome tunic very similar to that worn by the Cold streams, a red cap to match, and dark trousers, costs less than £3, of which 15s. need only be paid down, and the remainder by shilling instalments to be paid every week. The corps takes the place of the old City of London Buffs, but for that designation the authorities have substittted " the 3d City of London Rifles." There were more than 300 present last night, and their ap pearance bespoke them -to be a rather superior body among the class to which they belong. Colonel Sir Wm. de Bathe, Bart., assisted by Major Richards, Adjutant Furnivall, Captain Leverson, and Captain de Carteret, pat the men through their drill, and notwithstanding the little instruction they have received, they acquitted themselves in a very creditable manner. Only a few spectators were allowed to enter the hall ; but the windows of the Opera House were occupied by many persons, who seemed to take considerable interest in watching the movements of this newly organised corps of volunteers. There is to be a simi lar muster every Wednesday evening at the same place. DIED OF BAD AlR:—The reports of coroners' inquests daily show the great need there is for sanitary teaching. Every week in the metropolis alone children are suffocated in bed or under the shawls of mothers. They die, as the coroner is constantly stating, in consequence of inhaling their own breath, which is a compound of carbonic acid gas. They are, in fact, in the same situation as a per son who is locked up in a room which is full of the fumes of charcoal. The children are gradually overpowered by the deleterious atmosphere, and die without a struggle, it being thought that they were in a sound sleep. Another instance of the fatal effects of poisonous atmosphere has been brought before the public in the case of William Saunders and Caroline, his wife, who were found dead in the room of a house in a court in Bristol. This accident, if it may be so called, shows to what an extent the soil may be polluted by the escape from gas-pipes. Such a case of sudden death is evidence of the power of evil gases. In a slower but no less sure, manner, carelessness in the trapping of sinks and the ill-construction or rotten condition of drains do deadly work in ill-ventilated apartments. We ha ve before alluded 'n to the fact, and again find it necessary to remark thaht the cold weather a large number of fatal cases of fever pen in in the crowded dwellings of the poor; and these are caused chiefly by the blocking u p as closely as possible of all apertures which would afford the chance of ventilation. The houses thus situated become places of pestilence and dapger,—Xlsikkr. The substance of these articles is as follows : " Art. I.—Henceforth the eastern frontier be tween the two Empires shall commence from the junction of the Rivers Chilka and Argoun, will follow the course of the River Amour to the junc tion of the River Ousouri with the latter. The land on the left bank [to the north] of the River Amour belongs to the Empire of Russia, and the territory on the right bank [to the south] to the junction of the River Ousouri to the Empire of China. Further on, the frontier line between the two Empires, from the point of issue of the River Sou'gatcha, divides the late Hinkei and takes the direction of the River Belen-ho (Tour); from the mouth Q' that river it follows the mountain range to the mouth of the river Houpitou [Houptou], and from that point the mountains situated between the River Khoun-tehoun and the sea, as far as the River Thou-men-kiang. Along this line, equally, the territory on the east side belongs to the Empire of Russia, and that on the west to the Empire of China. The frontier line rests on the River Thou men-Kiang at twenty Chinese verstes [li] above its mouth into the sea. " Art. 2.—The frontier line on the west side, hitherto unfixed, will henceforth follow the moun tain range, the course of the great rivers, and the actually existing lines of Chinese outposts. Start ing from the last lighthouse, called Chabi n -d a b aga' established in 1728, after the Treaty of Kiakth a , i t will run in a south-easterly direction, as far as the lake Dsai-sang, and thence to the mountains situated south of the lake Issyk-koul, and called Ten-gri-than, or Alatan of the Khirgise, otherwise called Thian-chan-Nanlou [southern ranges of the Celestial Mountains] and along those mountains to the possessions of Kokand. " Art. 3.--Henceforth all those frontier questions which may arise shall be settled according to the stipulations of Articles 1 and 2 of the present treaty, and for placing the boundary marks to the east, from the Lake Hinkai to the river Thou-men-Kiang; and to the west, from the Chabin-dabaga lighthouse to the possessions of Kokand, the Russian and Chinese Governments shall appoint Commissioners. For the inspection of the eastern frontiers the Com missioners will meet at the junction of the river Ousouri in the month of April next. For the inspection of the western frontier the Commissioners will meet at Tarbagatai at a period not yet fixed. Duplicates of maps with the frontier line marked, and duly certified by the respective Commissioners, &c., will be exchanged. " Art. 4.—On the whole frontier line established by Article 1 and 2 of the present treaty, trade free of all duty or restrictions is established between the subjects of the two States. The local authori ties are bound to give special protection to such trade, and to those who exercise it. "At the same time the enactments relative to trade established by the second article of the *easy of Aigcun are confirmed. "Art. s.—ln addition to the trade existing at Kiakhta, the Russian merchants will enjoy their former privilege of going from Kiakhta to Pekin oa commercial business. On their way, they are also allowed to trade at Ourga and at Kalgan, without, however, being obliged to maintain large commercial establishments there. The Russian Government will have the right of keeping a Consul at Ourga with suite, and of erecting a build ing there for that purpose. For the requisite ground an arrangement will be made with the local authorities of Ourga. "The Chinese merchants are equally authorised to enter Russia to trade, if so inclined. "Russian merchants have the right to travel in China at all times on commercial business ; but they must not congregate together in a greater number than 200 in the same locality. Moreover, they must be provided with a Russian certificate on the frontier, denoting the head of the firm, the number of his clerks, and his destination. During their journey these merchants are at liberty to buy or sell as they may choose. They must pay all their expenses. " Art. 6.—As an experiment trade is opened at Kachgar, on the same basis as at Ili and Tarbagtai. At Kachgar the Chinese Government grants sufficient land for the erection of a factory, with all the necessary outhouses, including storehouses, , a church, &c., also a burial-ground, and pasturage, as at Ili and at Tarbagatai. Orders will be immediately issued to the Governor of the district of Kachgar for the concession of the said land. " The Chinese Government is not to be held responsible fJr the pillage of Russian merchants at Kachgar, shculd such pillage have been done by individuals from beyond the Chinese outposts. "Art. 7.—ln the localities thrown open to com merce, the Russians in China and the Chinese in Russia may enter into all commercial transactions 'without any hindrance from the local authorities ; they may frequent the markets and shops in per fect liberty, as also the merchants' houses ; they may buy and sell wholesale or retail as best suits their convenience, on credit or otherwise, according to the confidence they place in each other. " The length of stay of merchants in these locali ties is entirely dependent upon themselves. " Art. B.—Russian merchants in China and Chinese merchants in Russia are placed under the special protection of the two Governments. To keep a watch over the merchants and prevent mis understanding which might arise between them and the inhabitants, the Russian Government is per mitted to establish at once Consuls at Kachgar and at Ourga on the basis of the regulations adopted at Ili and Tarbagatai. " The Chinese Government may, likewise, if it wishes it, appoint Consuls in the capital and in other cities of the Russian empire. " The Consuls of either State will be lodged in mansions at the cost of their own Government. Nevertheless, if it suits them, they may rent houses from the inhabitants. " In their relations with the local authorities the Consuls of the two Powers are placed on a footing of perfect equality, in virtue of the second article of the Treaty of Tien-tsin. Offences and defalcations will be judged as settled by the 7th article of the Treaty of Tientsin, according to the laws of the empire of which the delinquent is a subject. " Commercial disputes will be settled by the merchants themselves before a Court of Arbitration, the members of which will be selected by the parties concerned ; the Consuls and local authorities will limit their co-operation to procure an amicable settlement, if possible, without any responsibility as regards the claims. " In case of written engagements, it will be the duty of the Consul to take measures to enforce the fulfilment of the same. " Disputes which do not come under the head of ' Commercial Transactions,' as law-suits, complaints, &c., will be settled by mutual consent of the Consul and chief local authority, and delinquents punished according to the law of their own country. "In case of a Russian subject seeking flight in the interior of China, the local authorities, as soon as they are officially informed of the fact by the Russian Consul, are bound to take measures to capture the fugitive and hand him over to the Russian authorities. The same is applicable to a Chinese seeking refuge in Russia; " In the case of great crimes, as murder, brigan dage, manslaughter, premeditated incendiarism, &c., if the culprit is a Russian he is to be sent to Russia to stand his trial according to Russian law ; if a Chinese he is placed at the disposal of the Chinese authorities. "In criminal cases, no matter how serious, neither the Consul nor the Chinese authorities have any right to incarcerate or pass sentence upon an individual not a subject of their own Govern ment." Art. 9.—This article enacts that, in consequence of the present treaty on the new frontier line, the enactments of the treaties concluded at Nertchinsk and Kiakhta are superseded. Art. 10.—This article refers simply to the rdesttho; ration of cattle that may have st ra y ed beyoec fu gi. new frontier line, and to the extradition f tives, as given above. Art. 11.—This article simply regulates the trans a reciprocal ami mission of written despatcheso authorities of the respec tivecable footing between the empires. d i e settles the postal arrange- Art. 12.—This arti men t s between the two empires. Letters and par cels from Kiakhta to Pekin and vice versa are to :—L point etters once a month from either l eav e as follows ; parcels onc e ever y t w o months from Kiakhta for Pekin, and once every three months from Pekin to Kiakhta.

The weekly return of births and deaths in Lon don, issued by authority of the Registrar-General, shows, as did that of the previous week, a heavy mortality—the effect of extreme cold. In the week that ended last Saturday the deaths were 1,707. The average number of deaths as obtained from coresponding weeks of ten previous years 1851-60, and correct e d for increase of population, is 1,365 ; and the actual number for last week therefore exceeds the estimated amount by 342. The degree of cold, under which 342 persons have sunk, and from which many more have suffered, is shown in the Greenwich table that accompanies the return of births and deaths. The mean temperature of the air last week was more than nine degrees below the average for the same week of the year; and since December 15 the mean temperature of each week hardly exceeded, or, as in two instances, was much below the freezing point of water. It may be noticed as a rather curious coincidence that the last two weekly returns exhibit the same number of deaths-1,707. The numbers of deaths in the two weeks in the period of life-20-40 years discover a striking approximation, for they were 185 and 181 ; as likewise those in the period 40-60 years, which were 290 and 289; and those at 80 years and upwards, which were 92 and 91. Differences arise in the period from birth to 20 years, in which the numbers decreased from 753 to 727; and in the period from 60 to 80 years, in which they increased from 383 to 419. Last week the deaths from pulmonary diseases, exclusive of phthisis, were 547; the corrected average is only 320. Bronchitis was fatal in 333 eases, the average being 169 ; pneumonia, 140, the average being 105 ' • phthisis or consumption i n 162, th e average 152. Of these three diseases bronchitis alone exhibits an increase on the return of the pre vious week. It was mentioned in last return that eight deaths from measles had occurred in the sub district of Kensington -town. The present return records nine in the same subdistrict, four of which occurred in the workhouse. In the Fulham sub district there were three from the same complaint, all of which occurred in the workhouse. Last week the births of 959 boys and 906 girls, in all, 1,865 children were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1851-60 the average number was 1,702. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 30.085 in. The mean daily reading was about 30 in. on four days of the week. The readings fell from 30.22 in. on Thursday to 29.86 in. on Saturday. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 264 deg., which is 9 3 deg. below the average of the same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr. Giaisher). On the first five days the mean daily reading was from nearly 10 deg. to 14 deg. below the average. The thermometer in the shade fell to 16 deg. on Tuesday, which was the lowest point in the week; it rose to 37.7 deg. on Saturday, the highest point in the week. The range of the week was therefore 21.7 deg. The mean daily range was 13.9 deg. On Wednesday a thermome ter on the grass fell as low as 4 deg. The difference between the mean dew point temperature and air temperature was 6 dog. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 77, complete saturation being represented by 100. On Wednesday the air was very dry, the dryness being 12.1 deg., and the humidity 52. The wind generally blew from the north-east in the first part of the week ; it then turned to south-east, and at the end to south-west. ATTEMP7ED MURDER BY AN EX- MAGISTRATE. It will be in the recollection of our readers that an action for false imprisonment was brought at the last Northumberland spring assizes by a poor hind, named Shiel, and his wife, against William Bewicke,Esq., of Threepwood Hall, near Haydon Bridge, when they obtained a verdict against him for £5O and costs. The case having been brought under the notice of the Lord Chancellor the defendant was removed from the commission of the peace; and since that period he has conducted himself with propriety until last week, when a writ of fi. fa. was issued against him, at the suit of his solicitor, Mr. Cram, of Newcastle, for his costs. The writ was placed in the hands of Mr. dim. Stainthorpe, sheriff's officer, of Hexham, and some of his men went to execute the process on Thursday last. On going to Mr. Bewicke's residence they found he had strongly barricaded his house so as to prevent the sheriff's officers from entering. In the evening, while the two men, William Hutchinson and John Daglish, were in Mr. Bewicke's cart-shed, waiting to get into the house, Mr. Bewicke spoke out of a window, and inquired if there was any person in his shed. Hutchinson having replied in the affirma- tive, Mr. Bewicke said, - "Then, I am going to shoot," and forthwith discharged a fowling-piece, loaded with ball, at Hutchinson and Daglish, but happily without effect, as the ball whizzed past Hutchinson's ear, and struck against a pillar of the shed. He then fired four or five successive shots, in less than as many minutes, but still, most provi dentially, without injuring either of the men. Information of this affair having been forwarded to Mr. Superintendent Stephenson, of Hexham, that officer, with an efficient staff, proceeded to Threep wood Hall, where he apprehended Mr. Bewicke, who made a vigorous resistance, and conveyed him to Hexham House of Correction. On Monday morning he was brought before the sitting jus tices, John Errington, Esq., and the Rev. George Bellamy, who, after a long and patient investigation, committed the prisoner for trial at the next Northumberland Assizes, for felo niously shooting at Hutchinson and Daglish, with a pistol loaded with powder and ball. Bail in the sum of £l,OOO having been offered and accepted for the appearance of the accused at the assizes, he was liberated from custody. The affair has created a great sensation in the neighbourhood where the accused is known. Mr. Taylor, of Hexham, is retained for the prosecution, and Mr- Stokoe for the defence. At the same time Mr. Bewicke was bound over in the sum o f £5OO to keep the peace towards Mr. W. Stainthorpe fo r twelve months, as he had threatened to shoot . —Northern Daily Express. 2 .HIS DAY'S--..-.PING.
