A system of deep-sea fishing and the purchase and curing of fish on the west coast of Ireland, the principal fea ture of the plan being the employment of steam-vessels as carriers from the fishing grounds to the railways. (2.) The manufacture of fish manure or fish guano from the 'lnedible fiela and offal, and the extract of fish oil. This Coliapany was projected in the summer of 1854, and ape , vlieation was made (under the highest patronage) for a Char. ter of Incorporation ; but' Parliament having passed a resolu tion in favour of limited liability, it was deemed advisable to delay the further development of the project until the new law had taken effect. The interim has, however, been use fully employed ; the promoters of the Company have devoted themselves to the collection of additional information on the subjectobtaining accounts, verifying their estimates, and generally in ascertaining the views and opinions of those Whose position and practical knowledge give value to their information. In addition to this Captain Symonds, the Managing Di rector, was instructed to occupy himself in practically ex hiniug the subject, and acqui r i ng a k now l e d ge o f the mar kets. ,ha.bits, and customs of th e fi s h ermen . Th e result of his /abeam during that and the two preceding years have been 4 2, 3 ' 3 hr-died in a pamphlet.* His report, together with the in ifncrnation obtained by the Directors, furnish a most satis actory confirmation of their views, and increase their eon& cleac e in a successful result. The Directors also refer with gratification to the observa tions of the press both in England and Ireland, set forth as an aPpendix to the pamphlet—expressing in the most forcible manneranner favourable opinions of the undertaking, not only as ?:0 i t s success ih a commercial point of view, but as ilk ly to be beneficial to Ireland: kited orapany is now therefore established under the Liability Act, and is unconnected with and totally clistinet from any formerpreject relating to the Irish fisheries. As to the first branch of operations of the Company, tr el Y , fishing and the purchase of fish, it may be stated at the waters of the west coast of Ireland abound with the .choicest cod, turbot, soles, lobsters, and other fish, but ither(o owing to a variety of causes well known, these mast resources have not been turned to profitable account ou a large scale. The Company proposes therefore to carry out a system of general fishing on the deep sea banks, and to of c hase fish of every d escr i p ti on throughout the west coast olreland. One of the principal features in this plan is the t n PloYmen, of steam-v essels as carriers, by which the fish wail be collected daii at the several fishing stations, and carried t o the neares t railway. These vessels, in combi nation with th e El ectr i c Telegraph and fast trains on the rail ._ pi. added t o a plentiful supply of ice, will insure a large ..2f, r egular delivery of fresh and cured fi sh in good condition, Znirt a few hours at the markets of London, Dublin, Liver tollB/3i th rrningham, kingdom Manchester, Bristol and all important in . The fo L e n i nParly's arrangements are in a sufficient state of wilTittbee sa to justify the expectation that fishing operations c ommenced in the month of October next. nor oPeratious of the Company will neither interfere with in a ° di a pp t ° ri ee e any existing interests—they are to be carried out will lof coast which combines every requisite for sue- the cot 1 give constant employment to some thousandsof he offeredPoludation, to whom every r itional inducement will Sorall the the througt ° w°4( the local fisheries, by affording them Year a fair and regular market on the spot fish th • :kind • e 7 catch irrespective of size, quality, or the s.creThis wi ll be done either Pe on the banks, by means of ur carders, or on the islands and coast at the ear -thg s tations, thus supplyingthat great desideratum for to e successful working o f t hose fisheries—a fair market the absence of which their d ec li ne may be mainly attri . The Company purpose offering great advantages to fishermen (or societies formed for their benefit) who may disposed to fish in conjunction with their fleet, and will Z u dertake to establish a station wherever sufficient evidence adduced of a supply to warrant the outlay. From such Tarti, es fish will be purchased where caught, thus saving the ermen 50 per cent. of time and wear and tear, and reliev 'tog them of their greatest difficulty, viz., carrying the fish to market. An extensive system of apprenticeship will also be adopted, preference being given in all cases to the sons an d r n e e la et. tives of those employed in or working with the Company 's (N o . 19,997.) by a female, who signed in my presence tote , na m e of Eliza Potts,, and she was identified by the' tri the prsonnsferer as the owl:er of the stock-, an he signed book in my presence, iden: ifying that female as Bliss Potts. The transfer was Inv.& in the usual manner, and with the name of " Henry Smith , of tha Stock Exchange." r a% N . ne since seen a person named Eliza Humphreys, who eta,:ed that her maiden name was Eliza the rightful owner of that s tock. Potts, and that she watt.' Mrs. Eliza Humphreys, who seemed almost in a fainting; stet©, and was aceommodat , , d. with a chair during her exa said—My name before I was urination, having been sworn, now the wife of Charles married was Eliza Potts. I an: le at Mistley, in. Essex. Humphreys, a gardener, and resi, , me stock in the Bank In and prior to the year 1849 I had a, 1 with which up to of England, the arrangements conn e ct e, m ower who then that time had been conducted by Mr. np to town on died. Subsequently to that time I came the prisoner, several occasions, and ,communicated with who purchased stock for toe , and attend ed with .rne at the im rticular Bank to receive my dividends. I remember i n Coming to town on the 26th October, 1851, just befol:e my marriage. On that occasion i saw the prisoner at Bank, and he accompanied me to receive my dividends. I then told him I was going to be married on the 3G and I made a transfer of 3001., part of the stock, and gave him 1001. to invest. The transfer and investment were made for my sister Mary Stow, of Nayland, Suffolk. I came up to town again, on the 4th of the present month. I am quite sure that I did not go to the Bank in ibelin terval between October, 1354, and the present month , and that I did not make any transfer of any part of my stock or receive any dividend after I was married, which was on the 30th October, 1854. I came up on the 4th of July instant, with my husband and Mrs. Stow, and we went to the Bank to receive our dividends. Mrs. Stow received her dividends without difficulty. When I applied flar mine the clerk told me there was some mistake, and as'ked mo where my broker was. I went for the prisoner, but could not find him. I left word at the office that I was going to the Bank. I then went to the Bank, and waited till he came. I said to him " I've come up to receive my dividends, and I find that they can't make it right. There's some mistake. What's the wetter ?" He replied, " You can't, receive it tO-slay, `because the transfer is not made." I then said, " Why can't I— my money was not to be transferred ?" Ho replied, " You can't receive it to-day because it is not transferred ;" and he added, "What money do you want — will 2X,do ?" I said, "It is not money that I want, I want to have my business settled." He said I could not have it settled then. I asked him why, and he again re plied, " Because it has not been transferred," and he went away. I afterwards went to the office of the Chief Ac countant, who showed me a document purporting to be a transfer of my stock, but the document was not signed by me. I returned to Mistley the same night, and shortly afterwards received the following letter from the prisoner : " 4, Austinfriars, Old Broad-street, London, sth July, 1856. "Dear Madam,—l beg :leave to inform you that, after leaving yourself, Mr. Humphreys, and friends at the bank the second time yesterday, I was engaged in looking into the matter, respecting which, I fear, there is some mis take. I will rectify it for you on Tuesday next. I was looking for you at the railway station last evening, at six o'clock. SIXTEENTH REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS OF THE COMMERCIAL BANK of LONDON, for the year ending the 30th Juno, 1856 At an Annual General Meeting of the Shareholders, held at the Banking House, Lothbury, on Tuesday, the 22d July, 1856 : consulting chemist to the Royal Agricultural Society . I of England, whose .several lectures, analyses, and con tributions, show conclusively the value of such ma nure, and the increasing importance of the subject to agriculturists. The manufacture of inedible fish into " fish manure" has been carried on successfully for some time past at Lowestoft, in Suffolk, under very valuable pro cesses invented by M. de Molon, of Concarneau, in the de partment of Finisterre.* As the subject was one of such paramount importance, the Directors requested Professor Way to examine the process proposed to be adopted by this Company, accompanied by Mr. Hermann Schweitzer, chymist, of Brighton, and Mr. Harman, Civil Engineer ; the result is that the opinions of the Directors are fully confirmed both as to the plan which they propose to adopt, and the value of-this " fish manure" as a product. While, therefore, commercially this Company has strong claims for support it will, in a national point of view, be produc tive of vast benefit, for i will not only develope a source of re munerative employment for a population now fast diminishing for want of energetic direction and English capital, but also form a, body of seamen and pilots who may prove a priceless ac quisition to the naval defences of the country, and it will confer peculiar advantages on the agricultural interests of the west and midland parts of Ireland by the production of a good, cheap, and portable manure on the spot. Considerations which it is presumed will entitle it to encouragement from every well wisher of Ireland and of the -Irish people. The head offices of the Company are in London ; the prin cipal fishing station will be at Galway. There will also be several additional outlying stations. It is impossible within the limits of a prospectus to set forth in detail the vast amount of information which the Di rectors have obtained, the resources at their command, or means and appliances proposed to be adopted. They earnestly request a perusal of the before-mentioned pamphlet, as sup plying in some measure these details. As to Capital—lt is at present proposed to call up only 40,0001. (of which one-half has already been secured by pri vate subscription), namely, 8/. per share, payable as follows -21. as a deposit, and the remainder in three separate call, at intervals of not less than three months. The shares may, however, be paid up in full at once, and in that case interest at 51. per cent. will be allowed upon all sums paid in antici pation of calls. In estimating the amount of profit which may be realised by this undertaking, the directors are anxious to avoid all statements which might give rise to extravagant expectations; but a most careful calculation of the annual expenses, and a moderate estimate of returns, upon authentic data, show, upon the first branch of the undertaking—namely, fishing, purchase, and curing of fish—a return of from 30 to 35 per cent, upon the capital. Applications for the explanatory pamphlet, for prospec tuses, and for shares, to be made to the solicitors or to the Secretary, at the offices of the Company, either in London or Dublin. Report of Professor Way on the Fish Manure manufactured under the process proposed to be adopted by this Company. " To the Directors of the London and West of Ireland Fishing and Fish Manure Company. " Gentlemen,—On Saturday last I visited, in compliance with your request, the manufactory of fish manure esta blished at Lowestoft, and examined every stage of the pro cebs, from the delivery of the fresh fish, until, in the state of dry powder, the manure is ready to be sent out for use. The result of this inspection is to confirm the opinion I have so often expressed, that it is perfectly practicable to produce from fish a portable manure of great vane. By the adoption of certain modifications in the machinery, you may, however, effect a further economy of time and labour, and thereby se cure a still more successful result. "The fish manure prepared at Lowestoft is in the state of a dry powder, not subject to alteration by keeping under ordinary circumstances. Its composition is exhibited by the analysis which I have made of two samples, which are ap pended. " There cannot be a doubt of the value of this manure, especially for corn crops, and, possessing such a basis, you will be able to modify its composition at pleasure, so as to adapt it for each particular crop to which it is to be applied. " Altogether my visit to Lowestoft has strengthened very considerably the conviction I have long entertained and fre quently expressed, that the manufacture of manure from fish, which offers the only available means of supplying the de mand for additional ammoniacal manure, will, if carried out i on an adequate scale, be of essential benefit to the agriculture of this country. I am, Gentlemen, your obedient servant, "J. THOMAS WAY. " 15, Welbeck-street, July 15, 1856. " Analysis of two samples of Fish Manure, prepared at the Manufactory, Lowestoft. Dog Fish and Herring.

The jury were perhaps not aware that this club was composed of a great number of over property noblemen th eroan a c n i we d gentlemen, acthN oh:m racesar a k n e d tt o, t o h ka a s t pt t lh h a ec e e y gb h r e t pc i l a r : rot e o to h n f e t t r i nh o e l , and they had the power of making any regulations they pleased, and could warn any person off the ground, if they thought proper to do so, who would not comply with their regulations. In the month of April a race was run at New market called the. Burwell Stakes, and some of the horses engaged in that race wore also engaged in the forthcoming Derby race at Epsom. The efforts of the horses for this stake were therefore regarded with a good deal of interest, in anticipation of the future event; and the Marquis of Anglesea, Lord Glasgow, . and Lord ,Zetland were, the stewards upon this occasion, and in that capacity they were invested with full powers to decide any dispute that might arise. It appeared that two horses, named Saraband and Cannobre, were en. paged in the race, and it was observed that while it was roceeding Saraband was pulled across the other horse, and ridden improperly according to the regtilations of the stewards and the Jockey Club, and, in re I. it of fact, Can nobie was-thrown out. of his course by the proceeding to which he referred. Saraband came in first, but, according to the rules, he lost the race in consequence of his rider having acted in the manner described; and, woe a com plaint being made by Lord John Scott, the owner of Can nobie, the matter was investigated by the steward=. It appeared that Lord Zetland was absent, but Lord Anglesea and Lord Glasgow called in the assistance of Admiral'. Rous, which they were empowered to do, and these three gentlemen, after a long inquiry end hearing a great dial of evidence, decided that Cannobie was entitled to the stakes on the ground that he had been jostled and run against luring the race by the other horse, Saraband. This was the judgment arrived at upon a full and careful considera tion of all the facts, and in the Sunday Times of the 20th April there appeared the article complained of, and which professed to be a comment upon that judgment. If that comment had been a fair one Lord Anglesea would not have taken any notice of it, but it undoubtedly was not a fair or justifiable comment upon what had taken place, tnd in print of fact it charged Lord Anglesea with being actuated by corrupt motives in the decision he had arrived at. Lord Anglesea, as he was instructed, had not oven a .ingle bet pending upon the race, and he declared upon his honour that he had no interest whatever in the matter. To any legitimate comments upon his conduct he would not for a moment have objected; but when he was charge I with being actuated by corrupt motives in giving his judg ment as a steward of the race, he felt that it was impos sible to pass over such a charge, and under the advice of his counsel this action had beenbrought. He did not at all desire to impute to Mr. Smith that he had been actuated by any feeling of malice—he had probably been misled by some correspondent, at Newmarket, but in law he was responsible. The defendant had pleaded a justification, and had suggested that the inquiry referred to had taken place at the instigation of the ,Marquis of Anglesea, but he believed that his learned friend, Mr. Lush, who appeared for the defendant, was instructed to withdraw the plea of justification ; and if this were done, and a suit able apology made, ho was instructed to, consent to a ver dict with merely nominal damages, as the solo object of the noble marquis was to vindicate his character. Mr. Lush said he appeared on behalf of the defendant, lir. Smith, and his learned friend was quite right in stat ing that he was not actuated bsr any malicious or improper feeling, and that at the time the article in' question was inserted he believed what was stated in it to be true. The statement was supplied by a correspondent on whose word he had been in the habit of relying ; and before he had any opportunity of making inquiry, the plea of justifica tion was placed upon the record. Since then, however, he had instituted the necessary inquiries, and the result was that he was now perfectly satisfied that there was not the least foundation for tho insinuation against the cha racter of the marquis, and he was therefore instructed to withdraw the plea of justification, and to apologise on the part of the defendant for inserting the article in question, and he worn eensoub to a verdict that would carry costs. Mr. dames said that by this course the object of, the action was entirely satisfied. A verdict was then taken for the plaintiff with five guineas damages. R.

Rsoaldd.ock. —This fish is peculiarlylarge and most abundant. Soles,— The sole of the Irish seas is superior in size and Quality to those in any known fishing-ground. Sun fish, the oil from which realises from 401. to 501. each, 4 / 4 1 great numbers at certain seasons. Cod fish are very numerous, and are also valuable for their oil. Salmon and trout. The salmon of Ireland is well known both as to its quality and abundance, as is also the trout. Besides these, the re are herrings, mackerel, dorey, halibut, eels, pl a i ce, hake, sprats, oysters, crabs, prawns, shrimps, and other fish in great quantity. A. most abundant supply of marketable fish may, there fore, be calculated upon, and arrangements have been made which will insure a sale of almost any quantity. In confir mation of this fact, the Directors refer to the document in the Appendix, bearing the signatures of all the principal fishmon gers in London. There is, indeed, no limit to the demand, and it is believed that twice the quantity now sent to the metropolis will find a ready sale, more especially when, by the use of steamers, welled vessels, and ice, the fish will arrive in better order, the supply will be made regular, and fish in consequence attain a standard price. It is also intended to cure fish on a large scale. Some idea may be formed of the demand for cured fish in Ireland from the report of the Commissioners of British Fisheries for the year ending the 31st of December, 1855. by which it appears that, so far as they can ascertain, 97,377 barrels of herrings were imported into Ireland from Scotland alone ; and 13,286 cwt. of dried cod, ling, and hake, from Scotland and the Isle of Man. In addition to the above, large quantities of her rings are imported from other sources, and many cargoes of cod from Newfoundland of a very inferior description. It is therefore estimated that about 200,0001. is paid out of Ire land annually for cured fish. This demand the Company in tends to supply by a superior and, therefore, more wholesome description of fish, caught on the Irish coast, principally by Irish fishermen, thus securing to that country the benefit of a great portion of this large sum. As to the second branch, namely, the manufacture of fish manure or fish guano, oil, and glue, from the coarse and inedible fish, and the offal of the curing stations. It is impossible to overrate the importance of this branch of the business. It is an established and incontrovertible fact, that fully one-half the fish taken either by trawl or line fishing, is inedible or unsaleable, and heretofore the greater part has been thrown overboard. In addition to this it is also known that by the use of proper appliances an unlimited quantity of every description of coarse fish and ciustacea may be readily procured on the western coast of Ireland. These and tdie offal of the prime or marketable fish, the Directors intend converting into pulverised fish manure or fish guano by an improved process, at once simple, inexpensive, and e ff ec t ua l , with the practical operation of which they have made them selves thoroughly acquainted, awl they confidently anticipate a very large and remunerative return from this very impor tant branch of the business, in addition to the profits arising from the sale of fish, The process has been for several years in operation on the Continew and has been attended with highly satisfactory results ;i t lately been established in this country with equal success. The raw material alone is necessary, and the fish manure has stood the test of repeated analyses and practical application to different crops in the same proportion as the best Peruvian guano, thereby D r iving that it contains fertilising elements, equal, if not superior, to that much sought after but very expensive manure ; it is equally portable and free of loss from damp. This " fish manure" the Company will supply direct from its manufactory under its own brand, thereby insuring it to the consumer in an unadulterated state, and at a cost consider ably under that of P er uvian guano. In the above p rocess a large percentage of valuable oil is obtained, which, together with other elements of great commercial value (extracted without additional labour or expense), will alone realise a very remunerative return. The attention of scientific men has for a long time been turned to this subject, and the great value of fish manure has been demonstrated and proved berond all question. It has lately received the repeated attention of Professor Way, * Observations on the fisheries of the West Coast of Ireland having reference more particularly to the operations of the London and West of Ireland Fishing and'Fish Manure Com pany. The fifth edition includes a summary of the criticisms of the leading journals on the subject of the pamphlet, in Which a most striking uniformity of opinion is expressed both as to the commercial capabilities of the scheme, and the na tional advantage to be derived from it.

Elizabeth lfarrha Brown, describedas a shopkeeper, aged 44, was arraigned for the wilful murder of her husband, John A. Brown, at Broadwinsor, on the 6th July, 1853. Mr. Stock and Mr. Compton appeared for the prosecu tion ; Mr. Edwards for the prisoner. It appeared that the prisoner and deceased were for merly fellow-servants in a farmhouse, and about six years ago they were married. Deceased, who rt as about 19 years of age, kept a horse and cart, and acted as a general car rier, while prisoner kept a shop for the sale of groceries. His business took him a good deal from home, and he sometimes came home late in a state of intoxication. The result of the marriage was not very happy, and the pri soner was jealous of a woman named Mary Davis. On Saturday, the sth July, about six o'clock, deceased and a carrier named Fooks, left Broadwinsor for Boaminster. On their way they were joined by Mary Davis, who how ever left them as soon as she got to the place where she was going to work. Nooks and deceased returned hour Beaminstor about threo or four o'clock in the afternoon. On arriving at Broadwinsor they remained drinking and playing at skittles till a late hour. About midnight ho and Fooks left to go home. They went together till they came to Mount's corner, whore Books left deceased going towards home with his horse and cart, when, although in toxicated, lie was quite capable of taking care of himself. .bout 5 o'clock in the morning the prisoner called up Richard Damen, deceased's cousin, who lived about 130 yards off, and begged him to get up, as the horse had nearly killed her husband. Damon went to the house, and found deceased lying on the floor of ono of the rooms, and found that he was dead. The deceased had a great many cuts on his head, and a handkerchief was bound round it. In reply to questions Damon and others put to the pri soner, see stated that about two o'clock the heard her hus band come down to the window, and she went out to the door ; she said she had helped him in ; she said, "Oh John, where haveyou been, or what ha ve y ou been about,?" and he said just " The horse," once, and that was all ; she helped him in, planed him in a chair, and he laid down in her lap ; he took hold of her dress, and held her so tight for threehours, that she could not go to call any one ; that when he got Weak he let o ; and she went out and call ed Denton. It was stated thet a woman named Frampton, residing near prisoner's house, heard screams between two and three o'clock in the morning, but to this the counsel for the prosecution did not attach much importance. The points chiefly urged against the prisoner were the absence of blood outside the house, on the door step, and in the pas sage( by which latter alone deceased Could have been brought into the apartment), the absence of blood from deceased's face, and shirt front, the absence of dirt from his hands, and the testimony of the medical gentleman that the wounds could not have been caused by the kick of a horse, and that the deceased, with such severe wounds, could not have got from the gate of the field (into which he had turned the horse) into the room where he died, as described by the prisoner, neither could he have been brought into the house without leaving marks in the passage. Another remarkable circumstance was that one of deceased's boots was unlaced, and there was a wound at the back of the head, as if he had been struck while in a stooping position. The deceased used to keep a small hatchet in the house, but after his death it could not be found. Mr. Edwards, for the defence, urged that the wounds de posed to would have required extraordinary strength, and it could hardly be conceived that the prisoner had inflicted them ; that the prisoner had an interest in her husband's life, and that instead of thinking of murdering him, it was shown that she had prepared his supper for him. He denied that there was any issue raised by the prisoner that the deceased was killed by the horse. It was told them by a witness that several parties who went to the house attributed the death to the horse, and the prisoner might have adopted the same supposition. Bnt even put ting it aside that death was caused by the kicks of a horse, was it not more probable that the deceased had been way laid by some party who knew that he had been receiving money for poles, and by that party murdered, instead of by his wife ? Having commented upon the medical evidence as speculative and doubtful, he said with reference to the absence of blood between the gate of the field and the house, that the injuries might have boon received close to the house door. As to there being no blood in the passage, he observed that the deceased's long hair might have con ducted it into his clothes. The fact that the coroner's jury had returned an open verdict was also noticed. The learned judge having summed up, The jury retired, and after remaining three hours in de liberation, returned into court, and intimated that they co uld not agree, and wi shed to ask some questions of the medical gentlemen. Having again consulted for a few minutes, they returned a verdict of Guilty. His Lordship, who said that he entirely concurred in the decision of the jury, then passed sentence of death in the usual form. Before the prisoner loft the dock she was asked by the Rev. A. N. de la Foss whether the story about the horse was not trumped up, to which she replied, "It was." She added, that the way in which her husband came by his death was by falling down stairs, and declared with an oath that she never struck him at all. At the adjourned special meeting yesterday the debate was resumed upon Major Lyon's motion for the adoption o the outfall in Erith Marshes for the maid drainage, as proposed by the engineer in his amended report of the 7th of July, with a pro vision that the discharge shall take place only at or after high water. Mr. Doulton moved, and Mr. Hows seconded, as an amendment, " That the engineer be directed to prepare a plan, with sec : tions and estimates, for extending the main sewer to Long Reach, and that the sewage bo discharged there only at or after high water." The discussion lasted some hours. The amendment was opposed by Mr. Dixon, Mr. T. H. Hall, Mr. Wright, Mr. 11. L. Taylor, and Mr. Deputy Harrison, on the ground that it would involve a great and unne cessary increase of the cost, estimated by the last named gentleman at 170,000/. extra for construc tion, and 3,0001. a-year for pumping ; on the other side, it was contended by several members that it would be worth while to make the scheme so thoroughly effectual as to insure Sir B. Hall's ap proval. The Chairman then put the amendment, when there appeared 14 votes for it, and an equal number against it. The chairman gave his casting vote in favour of the amendment, which then stood as a substantive motion. Mr. Wrightinoved, as another amendment, " That the engineer be in structed to report on the desirability of carrying the entire sewage of the metropolis below Erith, by means of one large tunnel to Sea Reach."

POLICE ITELLIGENOZ-July 22. MANSION -HOUSE.— James Railtom, a stockbroker, I was brought before the Lord Mayor in custody of Daniel Forrester, the Mansion-house officer, chargel with having feloniously aided, counsolled, and procured a certain female, whose name is unknown, to forge the transfer of five hundred pounds in the New Three por Cent. Consols, which transfer purported to be made by one Eliza Potts, with intent to defraud the Bank of England. Mr. Treshfield, solicitor to the Bank of England, ap peared for the prosecution ; Mr. Wontner attended on be half of the prisoner. Mr. Freslifielci briefl ' paned the case on the part of the prosec ution, and called Mr. llenrrHasley, o said—l am a clerk in the New f Th re e per Cent. bffiee f the Bank of England. I know the prisoner from hit aving transacted business at our office. . I produce the transfer book of the New Three per Cent stock. On and prior to the 20th May last the sum , of 50S/. is. was standing in the books of the Governor and of the Bank of England in the name of " Eli za Po: Companyanttps,ofY Great Totham, Essex, spinster." On the 20th May hot a tranefor wee made of Ms Put of the Ng 16.1 y as proceeding to his horse in chill-stet•eet, he was . I interfered with by a man muffled in a cloak •wjaich cOn cealed his features, who asked him While namiowne Kay, and being told it was, said—" I arrest ' yoto He replied he owed no debt he could be arrested for. The man answered, " Your wife does." The cdiepraiiofin.: ohel was arrested, he was not allowed to go into leis'hoftaio but he was taken in a cab, by the man who arrested hiiie; o s -s ee to a house at the west-end of the town. He was placed ' in a room on the ground floor, and theman di eapileared,„ locking him in the room. The complainant sot down to write a letter to his solicitor ; while thus engaged the door was opened, and tie defendant Johnston came in. The Col - 4141:mM naturally said, "Why 'have I been ar rested for debt ?" The defendant replied. "The arrest is all sham, it was only made for the purpose of getting you hetai." The defendant then locked - the door and. commenced a tirade of abuse . awl alander of the charac ters of certain parties, afterwards making overtures to revive the association that had already prove i so ruinous to Kay. The defenda n t Johnston would not permit Kay to depart without extorting a pledge that he- -would write to him and ask him to dine in some place, when they could t'en so arrange as to ' get the Court of Chancery decrees modified in some way. Now, a promise so obtained, neither in law nor honour is binding. As soon as Doty obtained his liberty he sonebt advice, and in consequence of that step the defendant is hero before you. The com plainant Kay was imprisoned thre# hours—from 12 at night until 3 in the morning. This appears to in» to be a serious and scandalous outrage. It arose out of proceed-- ings in a higher court of law, and I think I am justified in calling on you to ask Johnston to find o.ood bail to answer such charge as may be preferred aminst bin in another c met. The charge of assault is made out in the confuting aid locking him in a room. That is the assault. There can be no reasonable doubt that the defendant and the other man were acting in concert together. It is not necessary to show who this man is, there being sufficient evidenco of conspiracy to enable us to prefer a bill of indictment for conspiracy, and to ask you to require sure ties from the defendant to meet the charge. The complainant was here called into court. He is a young man cf mild and diffident aspect. On being sworn he said—My name is William Kay, and I live at 36, Hill-street, Berkeley-square. I came of age in 1854, and 'was then entitled to considerable property. About two years before I came of age I got acquainted with the defendant. I gave him some bills, and after I came of age some bonds. A decree has been obtained to set ohem aside. £ Mr. Robinson called for the production of the decree. Galworthy, solicitor, 12, Old Jewryachambers, was co :led. He produced the original decree of the Court of manoh ery, and read 'portions to the effect that a- cer tain bond assignment was to be delivered up and can celled ; that certain suites of apartments in Hill-street, Paris, and a pi, " 9 in the country, were to be given up to their owner or °Yellers, together with the furniture ; that an account of all sehnes of money paid by Johnston to a person named Adam'• on behalf of the complainant, to gether with a sum of $9,0001. raised by the plaintiff and handed over to Adams, be rendered, and an account taken of them ; that all the securities held by certain parties, together with a certain settlement of property, were to be entirely void. Mr. Kay's examination resumed—On Tuesday night; the Bth of July, I was returning borne from the Wynd ham Club, when I was stopped by a man whom I never saw before, who was dressed in a light opera cloak, with the collar up, and who said to me, " Are you Mr. Kay?" I said "Yes." He replied, "Then I arrest you fir debt." I said, " What debt ?" He replied, "A debt of your wife's," mentioning the sum, and naming the per son to whom it was owing. He said he had a writ and a judgment against me, and must take me. The man refused to allow me to go to my lawyer's. He asked me where I preferred going to—a police office, the police station, or a private house ? I said, " Let us go to a private office." A cab was passing at the time. He asked if I would cab it, or walk it ? I said I would ride ; and we got into the cab, which drove to a house that was strange to me, and which I afterwards found out was No. 1, Park-street. I asked the man when we were in the cab if I might write to my lawyer. He saido "Yes ; and you will be at home in half-an-hour." I was shown into the dining-room, where there were pens and paper. The man lett the room, and I sat down to write to my lawyer. While doing this the door opened, and Johnston walked in. He said to me, after locking the door and taking out the key, "I desired to have an interview with you." I asked him if I might seed a letter to my lawyer. He refused compliance, but Ido not recollect his precise words. I told him I had been arrested for a debt of my wife's. He said he did not know anything about the debt. He admitted in the course cf the evening that he had no other means of obtaining an interview with me than by the mew a he heel need. I said, "Am I here against my will ?" or words to that effect, and I cannot recollect his answer. I said, in answer to his question, lam in your power." He then began to make certain statements against per sons interested for me, which I believed to be calumni ous. He spoke disrespectfully of my wife and some friends. He wished me to refer the matters between us to arbitration, and to set aside the judgment that had been obtained. He mentioned the name of a person to whom he wished the matter to be referred. I did not agree to the offer. I said I would abide by the determination at which the Court of Chancery had arrived. He asked me if that was my decision, or words to that effect. I said, " Yes." I believe Johnston then left the room for a minute or two, and I believe he unlocked the door, and he locked it out ' side. I did not try if the door was locked. My belief is that the door was locked. Johnston returned, and when he shut the door I believe he locked it. He then wished me to appoint a meeting, and he mentioned the name of a person who had called at my lawyer's. I said I wettid-make_no appointment, and ho then replied that I had better go to bed. ' Mr. Beadon—Why were you to go to bed ? Complainant—l was to stay in the house. I was not to be allowed to go out. Mr. Beadon—Did you ask Johnson if you might leave the house ? Complainant—l did; and I believe he said "You shall stay here until you consent to do what I want you to do." At first I said I would take a bed, but Johnston did not press this upon me. When he found I would not make an appointment, he asked me to write and fix an appointment. I bad been in the house some time then, and I said, "If you will let me go now I will not mention anything that has occurred." He said "I will not let you go until you give your word and ho nour tkat you will tell nothing that has occurred to night to anybody." I did make that promise, and also that I would write to him. I was allowed to go home after being detained in the house about three hours. While I was in the house the defendant asked me to have some brandy and water, but I refused, not being thirsty. I was to *rite to the defendant, and direct to the Army and Navy Club—he being a member, I be lieve. Mr. Robinson having requested Mr. Kay to retire, proceeded t, say that he hardly knew what course to pursue, as the two charges of assault and conspiracy had been mixed up tdgether. With regard to the assault, he had to submit to the court that no coercion had been used, and that no one laid hands on the complainant. Mr. Beadon understood that the man who arrested the complainont laid hands on his shoulder. Mr. Kay was recalled. He said the man touched him on the shoulder, but not Johnston. Mr. Robinson said it was clear there was no touch ing by Johnston in any way ; the touching by the first man was not touching by the second. The magistrate would refuse to stretch the law to meet a case of this kind merely because his learned friend had called it an ostrageous assault. Mr. Beadon—The lock was turned upon him. Mr. Robinson—ls that an assault Mr. Beadon—Oh, certainly. Imprisonment is am assault. Mr. Robinson—Looking at the extraordinary way in which Kay has given his evidence, and recollecting that he made no attempt to open the door, can it be said there was imprisonment or assault Mr. Beadon—No force of any kind appears to have been put upon him. He seems to have gone willingly. He appears to be a weak young man, for he does not appear to have even attempted to assist himself in the slightest degree. He chooses to go to a private house instead of the station house, where he would have been safe ; and when he gets to Johnston's house ho does not attempt to rescue himself. No force is used. Mr. Bodkin—Johnston said, "I shall not let you go until you do what I want." Mr. Beadon—The lock was turned. on him, and that certainly is an assault. He did not know bow the matter of the fictitious arrest might turn out. It would be a very serious business if an illegal process bad been resorted,to for ulterior objects. The young man appeared tolhave gone quietly, and the question was, was this an assault that required more than sureties to keep the peace ? The question of conspiracy was an entirely different case. Mr. Robinson—lt was only a rase to procure an in terview. Mr. Beadon—That interview might be to get rid of the decree of the Court of Chancery. Mr. Robinson—Mr. Say has not suggested that. Mr. Beadon—No ; but he declared himself ready to go to bed. Mr. Robinson—You must recollect you are dealing with a weak man. Mr. Bodkin--Those are the very people the law pro tects. feb l d l a r b . t ß t o o d fi k o in d pbareilssteodmteheet t m b a e g c i h st a r r a g t e e o t f o 0 0 0 r b d e e p r i t r h ao e y. d a.

TITAMES.—A woman, named. Thompson, stated to Mr. Yardley that she purchased a quartern of flour of a dealer in the neighbourhood of the Whitechapel-road, and made two puddings of which her husband, herself, and two children partook, and they were all attacked directly afterwards with severe illness, and she was obliged to call in medical assistance. liar youngest child, who had not partaken of the puddings, was not ill. She had shown the flour to a medical gentleman, who said it was adul terated, and such vile stuff that he would not swallow a mouthful of it for ss. She had also, by the desire of an officer of that court, taken the flour to Dr. Letheby, the medical officer of the city of London, who said he had no doubt it was bad, but declined to analyse it until he re ceived orders to do so from a magistrate. Mr. Yardley would write a letter to Dr. Letheby re questing him to analyse the flour and report the result, and, if necessary, proceedings should be taken to punish the party who had sold the flour. A police-constable said that several families, who had partaken of dumplings and puddings made with flour bought at the same shop had been attacked with illness. EXTRAORDINARY CHA IRA CY.RGE OF ASSAULT AND CONSP Robert Johnston, of the Army and Navy Club, and 29, Webb'a County-terrace, described as a gentleman, was summoned before Mr. Beadon, at the Marlborough street police-court, charged with assaulting William Kay, a gentleman of fortune, residing at No. 36, Hill street, Berkeley-square. Mr. Bodkin was for the complainant; Mr. Robinson for the defendant. Mr. Bodkiu—Sir,—The defendant before you is charged with the commission of an assault, and a-more outrageous proceeding, I think, you will say was never before heard of. The complainant has also a charge of false imprisonment to prefer, and of conspiracy with an other person, not in custody. Mr. Robinson—There is not the slightest suggestion of conspiracy on the face of thesummons. The effect of such imputations, if suffered to go forth, must be very injurious. Mr. Beadon—lf a person is summoned here for an as sault, in which a question of conspiracy is involved, there is no reason why, under the summons, you should not go into the felony. Mr. Robinson—l think it is a good reason why the alleged conspiracy should not be gone into, we being here to answer a charge of assault. Mr. Beadon—lt is a good reason forgiving you plenty of time to answer the charge of conspiracy. Mr. Robinson—This is one of the dangers of making a statement in a police court. Such statements are often made for a purpose, and as the party may not have an opportunity of meeting the charge, a good deal of in justice is often done. Mr. Beadon—Mr. Bodkin, I feel satisfied, would not open a case and allege a charge of conspiracy without being prepared, if necessary, to sustain it. Mr. Bodkin—This case cannot be settled summarily. I ask you to send the case to the Central Criminal Court. Mr. Robinson—l came here to answer a charge of as sault, and Ido not think it fair that my client should have to labour under a charge of conspiracy for two or three weeks before he can disprove it. Mr. Beadon—l suppose the assault arises out of the conspiracy. Let us hear the facto. Mr. Bodkin—Notwithstanding the peculiar circum stances of those who prefer the charge, it isnot their wish to do otherwise than conduct thecase fairly t owards the T H E SOOTS FUSILIER.
