ME BATTLE OF BULL'S BUN. ENERAL M‘DO WELL'S OFFICIAL REPORT OF THE ENGAGEMENT. LIEUTENANT-COLONEL E. D. TOWNSEND, ASSISTANT ADJUTANT-GENERAL, HEAD-QUARTERS OF THE ARMY, WASHINGTON. Head-quarters Department, N. E. Virginia, Arlington (Virginia), Aug. 4. Colonel,—l have the honour to submit the fol lowing report of the battle of the 21st July, near Manassas, Virginia. It has been delayed till this time from the inability of the subordinate com manders to get earlier a true account of the state of their commands. _ _ In my communication to you of the 29th ult I stated it as my intention to move that afternoon, and drive the enemy from the east side of Bull's Run, so as to enable the engineers to make a suffi ciently accurate reconnaissance to . justify our future movements. Later in the day they had obtained enough information of the passage across the stream to dispense with this reconnaissance, and it was de cided to move without delay. It had been my inten tion to move the several columns out on the road a few miles on the evening of the 20th, so that they would have a shorter march in the morning, but I deterred to those who had the greatest distance to go, and who preferred starting early in the morn ing, and making but one move. On the evening of the 20th ult. my command was mostly at or near Centreville. The enemy was at or near Manaseas, distant from Centreville about seven miles to the south-west. Centreville is a vil lage of a few houses, mostly on the west side of a ridge running nearly north and south. The road from Centreville to Manassas Junction was along this ridge, and crosses Bull's Run about three miles from the former place. The Warrenton turnpike, which runs nearly east and west, goes over this ridge, through the village, and crosses Bull's Run about four miles from it, Bull's Run havinga course between the crossing from north-west to south-east. The First Division (Tyler's) was stationed on the north side of the Warrenton turnpike and on the eastern slope of the Centreville ridge ; two brigades on the same road, and a mile and a half in advance, to the west of the ridge; and one brigade on the road from Centreville to Manassas, where it crosses Bull's Run, at Blackburn's Ford, where Gen. Tyler had the engagement of the 18th ult. The Second Division (Hunter's) was on the Warrenton turn pike, one mile east of Centreville. The Third Di vision (Heintzelman's) was on a road known as the Old Braddock Road, which comes into Centreville from the south-east, about a mile and a half from the village. The Fifth Division (Miles's) was on the same road with the Third Division, and between it and Centreville. A map, which is herewith, marked A, will show these positions better than I can describe them. On Friday night a train of subsistence arrived, and on Saturday its contents were ordered to be issued to the command, and the men required to have three days' rations in their haversacks. On Saturday orders were issued for the available force to march. As reported to you in my letter of the 19th ult my personal reconnoissance of the roads to the south had shown that it was not practicable to carry out the original plan of turning the enemy's position on their right. The affair of the 18th at Blackburn's Ford showed he was too strong at that point for us to force a passage there without great loss, and if we did that it would bring us in front of his strong position at Manassas, which was not desired. Our information was that the stone bridge over which the Warrenton-road crossed Bull's Run, to the west of Centreville, was defended by a battery in position, and the road on his side of the stream impeded by a heavy abattis. The alternative was, therefore, to turn the extreme left of his position. Reliable information was obtained of an unde fended ford about three miles above the bridge, there being another fi.rd between it and the bridge which was defended. It was therefore determined to take the road to the upper ford, and, after cross ing, to get behind the forces guarding the lower ford and the bridge, and after occupying the War renton road east of the bridge, to send out a force to destroy the railroad at or near Gainsville, and thus break up the communication between the enemy's farces at Manassas and those in the valley of Vir ginia before Winchester, which had been held in check by Major-General Patterson. Brigadier General Tyler was directed to move with three of his brigades on the Warrenton road and commence cannonading the enemy's batteries, while Hunter's division, moving after him, should, after pissing a little stream called Cob Run, turn to the right and north, and move to the upper ford, and there turn south and get behind the enemy. (Jul. Heintzeiman',i division was to follow Hunter's as far as the turning off place to the lower ford, where he was to cross after the enemy should have been driven out by Hunter's division—the fifth divi sion (Miles's) to be in reserve in the Centreville ridge. I had felt anxious about the road from Manassas by Blackburn's Ford to Centreville, along this ridge, fearing that, while we should be in force in front, and endeavouring to turn the enemy's position, we ourselves should be turned by him on the road; for if he should once obtain possession of this ridge, which overlooks all the country to the west to the foot of the spurs of the Blue Ridge, we should have been irretrievably cut off and destroyed. I had therefore directed this point to be held in force, and sent an engineer to extemporise some field-works to strengthen the position. The fourth division (Runyon's) had not been brought to the front further than to guard our cam snunicationaby way of Vienna and the Orange and Alexandria Railroad. His advanced regiment was about seven miles in th e rear of C entrev ill e. The divisions were ordered to march at half-past 2 o'clock a.m., so as to arrive on the ground early in the day, and thus avoid the heat which is to be expected at this season. There was delay in the First Division getting out of its camp on the road, and the other divisions were in consequence be tween two and three hours behind the time ap pointed—a great misfortune, as events turned out. The wood road leading from the Warrenton turn pike to the upper ford was much longer than we counted upon, the general direction of the stream being oblique to the road, and we having the ob tuse angle on our side. General Tyler commenced with his artillery at half-past 6 a.m., but the enemy did not reply, and after some time it became a question whether he was in any force in our front, and if be did not in tend himself to make an attack, and make it by Blackburn's Ford. After firing several times, and obtaining no response, I held one of Heintzelman's brigades in reserve in case we should have to send any troops back to reinforce Miles's Division. The other brigades moved forward as directed in the ge neral orders. On reaching the ford at Sudley's Spring, I found that a part of the leading brigade of Hunter's Divi sion (Burnside's) had crossed; but the men were slow in getting over, stopping to drink. As at this time the clouds of dust from the direction of Man assas indicated the immediate approach of a large force, and fearing it might come down on the head of the column before the division could all get over and sustain it, orders were sent back to the heads of regiments to break from the column and come forward separately as fast as possible. Orders were sent by an officer to the reserve brigade of Heintzcl man s Division to come up by a nearer road across the field s , and an aide-de-camp was sent to Brigade- G2netal Tyler to direct him to press forward his attack, as large bodies of the enemy were passing i n front of him to attack the division which had crossed over.

Shortly ' ir,ie reachol this cp. - Jul space, an:l "A' 1.1 iI e others is r and the Second Brigade were crossing to the front and right, the enemy opened his fire, beginning with artillery and following it up with infantry. The leading brigade (Burnside's) had to sustain the shock for a short time without support, and did it well. The battalion of regular infantry was sent to sustain it, and shortly afterwards the other corps of Porter's Brigade and a regiment detached from Heintzelman's Division to the left, forced the enemy back far enough to allow Sherman's and Keye's Brigades, of Tyler's Division, to cross from their position on the Warrenton road. These drove the right of the enemy, understood to have been commanded by Beauregard, from the front of the field, and out of the detached woods, and down to the road and across it up the slopes on the other. side. While this was going on, Heintzelman's Division was moving down the field to the stream and up the road beyond. Beyond the Warrenton road, and to the left of the road down which our troops had marched from Sudley's Spring, is a hill with a farm-house on it. Behini this hill the enemy had, early in the day, some of his most annoying batteries planted. Across the road from this hill was another hill, or rather elevated ridge or table of land. The hottest part of the contest was for the possession of the hill with a house on it. The force engaged here was Heint zelman's Division, Wilcox's and Howard's Brigades on the right, supported by part of Porter's Brigade and the cavalry under Palmer, and Franklin's Bri gade of Heintzelman's Division, Sherman's Brigade of Tyler's Division in the centre, and tip the road, while Keyes's Brigade of Tyler's Division was on the left, attacking the batteries near the stone bridge. The Rhode Island battery, of Burnside's Brigade, also participated in this attack by its fire from the north of the turnpike. The enemy was understood to have been commanded by J. E. John ston. _ _ Ricketts's battery, which did such effective service, and played so brilliant a part in the contest, was, together with Griffin's battery, on the side of the hill, and became the object of the special attention of the enemy, who succeeded—our officers mistak ing one of his regiments for one of our own, and allowing it to approach without firing upon it—in disabling the battery and then attempted to take it. Three times was he repulsed by the different corps in succession and driven back, and the guns taken by hand, the horses being killed, and pulled away. The third time it was supposed by us all that the repulse was final, for he was driven entirely from the hill, and so far beyond it as not to be in sight, and all were certain the day was ours. He had before this been driven nearly a mile and a half, and was beyond the Warrenton road, which was entirely in our possession from the stone bridge westward, and our engineers were just completing the removal of the abattis across the road, to allow our reinforcements (Schenck's Brigade and Ayers's battery) to join us. The enemy was evidently dis heartened and broken. But we had been fighting from half-past 10 o'clock in the morning, and it was after 3 o'clock in the afternoon. The men had been up since 2 o'clock in the morning, and had rsade what to those unused to such things seemed a long march before coming into action, though the longest distance gone over was not more than 9,1 miles ; and though they had three days' provisions served out to them the day before, many no doubt slid not eat them or threw them away on the march or during the battle, and were therefore without food. They had done much severe fighting. Some of the regiments which had been driven from the hill in the first two attempts of the enemy to keep possession of it had become shaken, were unsteady, and had many men out of the ranks. It was at this time that the enemy's reinforce ments came to his aid from the railroad train, un derstood to have just arrived from the valley with the residue of Johnston's army. They threw them selves in the woods on our right, and towards the rear of our right, and opened a fire of musketry on our men, which caused them to break and re tire down the hill side. This soon degenerated into disorder, for which there was no remedy. Every effort was made to rally them, even beyond the reach of the enemy's fire, but in vain. The batta lion of regular infantry alone moved up the hill opposite to the one with the house on it, and there maintained itself until our men could get down to and across the Warrenton turnpike, on the way back to the positio❑ we occupied in the morning. The plain was covered with the retreating troops, and they seemed to infect those with whom they came in contact. The retreat soon became a rout, and this soon degenerated still further into a panic. Finding that this state of affairs was beyond the efforts of all those who had assisted so faithfully during the long and hard day's work in gaining almost the object of our wishes, and that nothing remained on the field, but to recognise what we could no longer prevent, I gave the necessary orders to protect their withdrawal, begging the men to form in line, and offer the appearance, at least, of organisation. They returned by the fords to the Warrenton-road, protected, by my order, by Col. Porter's force of regulars. Once on the road, and the different corps coming together in small par ties, many without officers, they became inter mingled, and all organisation was lost. Orders had been sent to l‘liles's Division for a brigade to move forward and protect this retreat, and Colonel Blenker's Brigade was despatched for this purpose, and was ordered to go as forward as the point where the road to the right left the main road. By referring to the General Order, it will be seen that, while the operations were to go on in front, an attack was to be made at Blackburn's Ford by the brigade (Richardson's) stationed there. A re ference to this report and to that of Major Hunt, commanding the artillery, will show that this part of the plan was well and effectively carried out. It succeeded in deceiving the enemy for a consider able time, and in keeping in check a part of his force. The fire of the artillery at this point is re presented as particularly destructive. At the time of our retreat, seeing gnat activity in this direction, much firing, and columns of dust, I became anxious for this place, fearing if it were turned or forced the whole stream of our retreating mass would b e ca pt ure d or d es t ro y e d. After pro viding for the protection of the retreat by Porter's and Blenker's Brigades, I repaired to Richardson's, and found the whole force ordered to be stationed for the holding of the road from Manassas by Black burn's Ford to Centreville, on the march. under the orders of the division commanded, for Centreville. I immediately halted it, and ordered it to take up the best line of defence across the ridge that their nosition admitted of, and subsequently, taking in person the command of this part of the army, I caused such a disposition of the forces, which had been added to by the Ist and 2d New Jersey and the De Kalb Regiments, ordered up from Runyon's reserve before going forward, as would best serve to check the enemy. The ridge being held in this way, the retreating current passed slowly through Centreville to the rear. The enemy followed us from the ford as far as Cob Run, and, owing to the road becoming blocked up at the crossing, caused us much damage there, for the artillery could not pass, and several pieces and caissons had to be abandoned. In the panic the horses hauling the caissons and ammunition were cut from their places by persons to escape with, and in this way much confusion was caused, the panic aggravated, and the road encumbered. Not only were pieces of artillery lost, but also many of the ambulances carrying the wounded. By sundown most of our men had gotten behind Centreville-ridge, and it became a question whe ther we should or not endeavour to make a stand there. The condition of cur artillery and its ammunition, and the want of food for the men, who had generally abandoned or thrown away all that had been issued the day before, and the utter disorganization and consequent demoraliza tion of the mass of the army, seemed to all who were near enough to be consulted—division and bri gade commanders and staff—to admit of noalferna• tive but to fall back ; the more so as the noition at Blackburn's Ford was then in the posses:ion of the enemy, and he was already turning our left. On bendin o t , the officers of the Staff to the different C amps they found, as they reported to me, that our THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY. EVENING, AUGUST 24, 1861. decision had been anticipated by the troops, most of those who had come in from the front being already on the road to the rear, the panic with which they came in still continuing and hurrying them on. At o'clock the rear guard (Blenker's Brigade) moved, covering the retreat, which was effected during the night and next morning. The troops at Fairfax station leaving by the cars took with them the bulk of the supplies which had been sent there. My aide-de-camp, Major Wadsworth, stayed at Fairfax Court-house till late in the morning, to see that the stragglers and weary and worn-out soldiers were not left behind. . I transmit herewith the reports of the several division and brigade commanders, to which I refer for the conduct of particular regiments and corps, and a consolidated report of the killed, wounded, and missing. From the latter it will be seen that our killed amounted to 19 officers and 462 non-commissioned officers and privates, and our wounded to 64 officers and 917 non-commissioned officers and privates Many of the wounded will soon be able to join the ranks, and will leave our total of killed and disabled from further service under 1,000. The return of the missing is very inaccurate, the men supposed to be missing having fallen into other regiments and gone to Washington,—many of the Zouaves to New York. In one brigade the number originally re ported at 616 was yesterday reduced to 174. These reductions are being made daily. In a few days a more correct return can be made. Of course, nothing accurate is I:novrn of the loss of the enemy. An officer of their forces, coming from them with a flag of truce, admitted 1,800 killed and wounded, and other information shows this to be much under the true number. The officer commanding the 11th New York Zouaves and Colonel Heinizelman say that the re turns of that regiment cannot be relied on, as many of those reported among the casualties have ab sented themselves since their return and have gone to New York. Among the missing reported are many of our surgeons, who remained in attendance on our wounded, and were, against the rules of modern warfare, made prisoners. The issue of this hard-fought battle, in which certainly our troops lost no credit in their conduct on the field with an enemy ably commanded, supe rior in numbers, who had but a short distance to march, and who acted on his own ground on the defensive, and always under cover, while our men were of necessity out on the open fields, should not prevent full credit being given to those officers and corps whose services merited success, if they did not attain it. To avoid repetition, I will only mention here the names of those not embraced in reports of divisions and brigade commanders. I beg to refer to their reports for the names of those serving under their immediate orders, desiring on this subject they may be considered as a part of my own. I claim credit for the officers of my Staff, and for those acting as such during the day. They did everything in their power, exposing themselves freely when required, doing all that men could do, communicating orders, guiding the columns, exhorting the troops, rallying them when braken, and providing for them the best the circumstances admitted. They are as follows : First Lieutenant H. W. Kingsbury, sth Artil lery, aide-de-camp. Major Clarence S. Brown, New York Militia Volunteers, aide-de-camp. Major James S. Wadsworth, New York Militia Volunteers, aide-de- camp. The latter, who does me the honour to be on my personal Staff, had a horse shot under him in the hottest of the fight. Capt. James B. Fry, Assist.-Adjutant- General. Capt. 0. H. Tillinghast, .Assist.-Quartermaster, who discharged alone the important and burden some duties of his department with the army, ar.d who was mortally wounded while acting with the Artillery, to which he formerly belonged, and in which he was deeply interested. Capt. H. F. Clark, Chief of Subsistence Depart ment. Major Meyer, signal officer, and Major Malcolm Nl' Donnell, who acted as aides. Surgeon W. S. King and Assist.• Surgeon Magru der, Medical Department. Major J. G. Barnard, Ecgineer, and senior of his department with the army, gave most important aid. First Lieut. Frederick S. Plime, Engineers. Captain A. W. Whipple. First Lieut. H. L. Abbott and Second Lieut. S. Putnam, Topographical Engineers. Major W. F. Barry, sth Artillery, Chief of Ar lery. Lieut. George C. Strong, Ordnance-officer. Major`. H. Wood, Ist I'll an try, Acting Inspector- General. Second Lieut. Guy Henry, who joined me on the field, and was of service as an aide-de-camp. The following officers commanded divisions and brigades, and in the several places their duty called them did most effective service and behaved in the most gallant manner :-- B rigadier- Gen. Tyler, Connecticut Volunteers. Ccl. David Hunter, 3d Cavalry, severely wounded at the head of his division. Col. S. P. Heintzelman, 17th Infantry, wounded in the arm while leading his division into action on the hill. Brigadier-Gen. Schenck, Ohio Volunteers, com manding 2d Brigade, First Division. Colonel E. D. Keyes, 11th Infantry, commanding Ist Brigade, First Division. Colonel W. P. Franklin, 12th Infantry, Ist Bri gade, Third Division. Colonel W. T. Sherman, 13th Infantry, com manding Ist Brigade, First Division. Colonel Andrew Porter, 16th Infantry, command ing Ist Brigade, Second Division. Colonel A. E. Burnside, Rhode Island Volunteers, commanding 2d Brigade, Second Division. Colonel 0. B. 'Wilcox, Michigan Volunteers, commanding 2d Brigade, Third Division, who was wounded and taken prisoner while on the hill, in the hottest of the fight. Colonel 0. 0. Howard, Maine Volunteers, com manding 3d Brigade, Third Division. Colonel J. B. Richardson, Michigan Volunteers, commanding 4th Brigade, First Division. Colonel Blenker, New York Volunteers, com manding Ist Brigade, Fifth Division. Colonel Davies, Ne'w York Volunteers, command ing 2d Brigade, Fifth Division, As my position may warrant, even if it does not call for, some explanation of the causes, as far as they can be seen, which led to the results herein stated, I trust it may not be out of place if I refer in a few words to the immediate antecedents of the battle. When I submitted to the General-in-Chief, in compliance with his verbal instructions, the plan of operations and estimate of force required, the time I was to proceed to carry it into effect was fixed for the Bth of July (Monday). Every facility possible was given me by the Gentral-in- Chief and heads of the administrative departments in making the necessary preparations. But the regiments, owing, I was told, to want of tran sport, came over slowly. Many of them did not come across till eight or nine days after the time fixed upon, and went forward with out my even seeing them, and without having been together before in a brigade. The sending rein forcements to General Patterson, by drawing off the waggons, was a further and unavoidable cause of delay. Notwithstanding the herculean efforts of the Quartermaster -General, and his favouring me in every way, the waggons for ammunition, sub sistence, &c., and the horses fer the trains and the artillery, did not all arrive for more than a week after the time appointed to :neve. I was not even prepared as late as the 1511 ult., and the desire I should move became great, and it was wished I should not, if possible, delay longer than Tuesday, the lOth ult. When I did set out, on the 16th, I was still de ficient in wagons for subsistence. But I went forward, trusting to their being procured in time to follow me. The trains thus hurriedly gathered together, with horses, waggons, drivers, and wag gon managers, all new and unused to each ether, moved with difficulty arid disorder, and were the Clll5O of a day's delay in getting the provisions for- ward, making it necessay to make on Sunday the attack we should have rode on Saturday. I could not, with eery exertion, get forward with the troops earlier tlan we did. I wished to go to Centreville the secaid day, which would have taken us there on the 17h, and enabled us, so far as they were concerned,to go into action on the 19th, instead of the 21st but when I went forward from Fairfax Court•housc beyond German-town to urge them forward, I wanold it was impossible for the men to march further. They had only come from Vienna, about six miles, ald it was not more than six and a half miles further to Centreville—in all, a march of 121 miles; but he men were foot-weary, not so much, I was told, by the distance march?d as by the time they hal been on foot, caused by the obstructions in the rotd and the slow pace we had to move to avoid ambtscades. The men were, moreover, unaccustomed `o marching, their bodies not in condition for that Had of work, and not used to carrying even the loadof light marching order. We crossed Bull's Run with about 18,000 men of all arms, the Fifth Division (Miles's and. Richard son's Brigades) on the let, at Blackburn's Ford t Centreville, and Schenck'3 Brigade, of Tyler's Divi sion, on the left of the rcad, near the stone bridge, net participating in the Train action. The numbers opposed to us have been variously estimated. I may safely say, and avoid ever the appearance of exagge ration, that the enemy brought up all he could which were not kept engaged elsewhere. He had notice of our coming on the 17th, and had from that time until the 21st to bring up whatever he had. It is known that, in estimating the force to go against Manassas, I engaged not to have to do with the enemy's forces under Johnston, then kept in check in the valley by Major-General Patterson, or those kept engaged by Major-General Butler ; and I know every effort was made by the General-in- Chief that this should be done, and that even if Johnston joined Beauregard it would not be because he could not be followed by General Patterson, but from causes rot necessary for me to refer to, if I knew them all. This was not done, and the enemy was free to assemble from every direction in num bers only limited by the amount of his railroad roll ing stock and his supply of provisions. To the forces, therefore, w.= drove in from Fairfax Court house, Fairfax Station, Germantown, and Centre ville, and those under Beauregard at Manassas, must be added those under Johnston from Winches ter, and those brought u? by Davis from Richmond and other places at the South, to which is to be added the levy en masse ordered by the Richmond authorities, which was ordered to assemble at Manassas. What all this amounted to I cannot say •certainly much more than we attacked them with. I could not, as I have said, more early push on faster, nor could I deliy. A large and the best part of my forces were three months' Volunteers, whose term of service was about to expire, but who were sent forward as having long enough to serve for the purpose of the expedition. On the eve of the battle the 4th Pennsylvania Regiment of Volunteers, and the battery of Volunteer Artillery of the New York Bth Militia, whose term of service expired, insisted on their discharge. I wrote tb the regiment, expressing a request for them to re main a short time, and the Hon. Secretary of War, who was at the time on the ground, tried to induce the battery to remain at least five days. But in vain. They insisted cn their discharge that night. It was granted, and the next morning, when the army moved forward into battle, these troops moved to the rear to the sound of the enemy's cannon. In the next few days, day by day, I should have lost 10,000 of the best armed, drilled, officered, and disciplined troops in the army. In other words, every day which added to the strength of the enemy made us weaker. "In conclusion, I desire to say, in reference to the events of the 21st ult., that the general order for the battle to which I referred was, with slight modifications, literally conformed to ; that the corps were brought over Bull's Run in the manner pro• posed, and put into action as before arranged; and that up to late in the afternoon every movement ordered was carrying us successfully to the object we had proposed before starting—that of getting to the railroad leading from Manassas to the valley of Virginia, and going on it far enough to break up and destroy the communication, and interpose be tween the forces under Beauregard and those under Johnston ; and could we have fought a day or a few hours sooner, there is everything to show how we could have continued successful, even against the odds with which we contended.

(Bf.fore Mr. Baron Martin and and a Special Jury.) MILNE AND ANOTHER V. LEISLER. This case, which vas partly heard and adjourned yesterday, on account of the indisposition of Mr. Baron Wilde, was further adjourned until to-mor row, Mr. Baron Martin announcing that, if suffi ciently recovered, Mr. Baron Wilde would sic to- morrow and conclude the trial. Mr. Baron Martin having finished all the common juries, then proceeded with the trial of the special jury causes, thu trial of which has, as yet, only just commenced. while travelling as Post-office clerk on the defen- dants' railway. Mr. Edward James, Q.C., and Mr. Cobbett ap peared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Overend, Q.C., and 11r. Littler, for the defendant. It appeared that the plaintiff was employed by the Post-office as a clerk and sorter of letters on the mail train to Liverpool, and that on the 23d of January last, as he was travelling by the night mail, the train ran into two trucks which had been left on the line of rails between Ramhill Station and Liverpool by a luggage train which had broken down. The result of the collision to the plaintiff was that he received a most severe cut and con , tusion on the side of the head from being pitched against a part of the carriage. On being taken to his home he discovered after two or three days that he had received a double rupture. He was confined to his bed two months, and at the expiration of that time was in such an enfeebled state that he was examined on behalf of the Post-office. and sur gical certificates given that, by reason of the rup tures and his general state of health, he was no longer fit or capable of filling his appointment. Up to the time of the accident he was receiving £l3O a year as Post-office clerk, and since the acci dent he had been pensioned off with £6O a year. For the defence it was contended—and medical evidence was called to establish it—that the rup tures were of old standing, and that the plaintiff was still able to do many avocations. The negli gence which led to the accident was admitted, and it was said the defendants were willing to make the plaintiff reasonable compensation for the injuries he had received, but he had resisted a reasonable offer. His lordship expressed a strong opinion that the negligence having been admitted ; the case was one for the determination of a sheriff's jury as to the amount of damages, and ought not to have been brought into court to the obstruction of other busi ness. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff. Damages, £5OO. JACKSON V. THE LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover damages for an injury sustained on the de fendants' railway through their alleged negligence. It appeared that the plaintiff was a wholesale tea dealer, carrying on business at Manchester, and on the 31st of May, 1860, be was a passenger by the 2.45 express train on the defendants' railway to London. On arriving between Stafford and Crewe, while the train was going at full express speed, it ran into a waggon on the line, and the plaintiff re ceived severe injuries from the collision to his head and a shock to his nervous system, which had com pelled him almost entirely to relinquish his business, arid for 12 months he had been suffering from hys terical symptoms and from acute pains in his head. In consequence of his absence from his business, which before the accident had been a very profitable one, it had become for a time a losing concern. The profits during the year 1859-60, the stock being taken in February, were £1,400 ; but during the following year the stock taken in February. 1861, showed a loss of £1,500, which the plaintiff con tended was owing to his absence from his business, attributable to the accident. His lordship directed the jury that they must be very cautious in the estimate they made of business losses, for if the plaintiff's losses were taken to be the measure of damages it would make the defen dants the insurers of man's success in business for 12 months. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff. Damages, £7OO. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-Aug. 23. WESTMINSTER —Mr. Arnold handed another package of letters which he had received respecting the dishonesty of Farrell Hogg, at present under remand for felony, to Sergeant Wilson, of the B division. He particularly alluded to a communi cation which lied been received from Aldershott, stating that a person answering Farrell Hogg's description had been residing there for a couple of months under the name of Claude Ernest Gordon Reilly, and swindling a number of persons. He had informed some of his dupes, sub rosa, that he was the Hon. Claude Ernest Gordon Lennox, a member of the Richmond family, and that he had been an officer in the 2d Life Guards. He suddenly decamped, in debt to everybody who had trusted him, leaving nothing behind at his lodgings but an empty box and a black dog. INlr. Arnold said the letter in question enclosed a photograph of the offender, which, although it did not help the writer to the conclusion that his credi tor was Farrell Hogg, might, in the hands of the police, be of public advantage. It was quite clear that a person named Farrell Hogg had long been carrying on an extensive system of swindling by taking :espectable lodgings, and then, under dif ferent pretences, borrowing sums of money of the owners and decamping before they went for a reference. Sergeant Wilson said there were much more serious charges against the prisoner. One was the theft of a gold watch, value I:15. Repeated appli cations had been math at the station-house respect ing his delinquencies. Charles Clark, aged 12, living with his parents at 64, Church-street, Chelsea, was charged with feloniously assaulting and wounding Charles Neath, aged 12, of 4, Church-street, Chelsea. Neath observed Clark placing himself in a posi tion on the previois evening to overhear a conver sation going on between th mother and aunt of the former. He told him to go away, which, after a few words, he did. Returning. however, in a few minutes, without saying a word, he plunged a penknife into the prosecutor's left side near the heart, and then threw the knife into a shop. The wounded bov was taken to the hospital. Mr. Arnold inquired whether there was any cer tificate to show the nature of the irjury ? The police replied that they had not one, but the surgeo❑ at St. George's Hospital who dressed the wound would attend if necessary. In answer to questions from the magistrate, The prosecutor sai I that, although the prisoner was very saucy, he did ❑othing but desire him to go away. A policeman proved that when he took the cul prit into custody he denied the charge. Neath and a relative were recalled, and swore positively that the prisoner was the offender. There, were the signatures of two other persons on the polia-sheet in confirmation of their statement. The prisoner was remanded for a week, and bail was refused. WORSHIP-STREET.— William Lewis, alias Lundy, a tall, powerful man, looking like a soldier, was charged before Mr. Knox with assault and robbery. At half-past 2on the afternoon of the Ist of last June Mr. Thos. Barehard, of Holford-street, Step ney, stopped opposite the London Hospital in the Whitechapel-road to see a body of riflemen file by. He wrs closely surrounded by several men, and then felt a pressure against his watch pocket. He looked down, and to his surprise saw his watch in the hands of the prisoner, who was trying to wrench it off the pendant. The witness made a snatch at his watch, but missed it; he therefore seized the prisoner, and shouted for help. After a violent contest the prosecutor, with the assistance of two other persons, held the prisoner till a con stable came up and took him into custody. Bingley and another officer succeeded in getting him as far as Brown's-lane, Spitalfields, but there a number of his confederates rushed out upon the officers to rescue him, and dragged one of the constables away. On seeing this the prisoner commenced a savage attack upon Bingley, kicking him about the legs and body, and striking him about the face and head, while one of his companions attacked him from behind and knocked him down. The result of the combined attack upon the constable was that he was so injured as to be under medical treat ment and unfit for duty for a fortnight. The pri soner at that time escaped, and nothing more was seen of him till a day or two ago, when Kenward, of the H division, caught sight of him in Smithfield, and attempted to secure him. The prisoner rushed into one of the houses in Victoria-street, and, on being followed and found by the officer concealed behind a door, he fought so desperately that if it had not been for the fortunate arrival of one of the parish beadles he would have escaped again. One of the officers deposed to the prisoner having been previously convicted under the Criminal Jus tice Act, and sentenced to six months' hard labour for felony, and Mr. Knox ordered him to be corn mated for trial. CLERKENWELL.— A well-dressed young woman, who gave thq name of Mary Anne Edwards, was charged with picking the pooket of Mrs. Sarah Shepherd of a purse in an omnibus in the City road. The complainant was in one of the company's omnibuses when the prisoner entered and took a seat beside her, From what came to the know ledge of the conductor, he was induced to watch the prisoner. In the City-road the latter stopped the omnibus, and in a hasty manner got out and pro ceeded up Hall -street. The conductor, having as• certained that the complainant's pocket had been picked and that her purse had been stolen, went after the prisoner, brought her back, put her in the omnibus, and drove her to the Angel at Islington, and there gave her into the custody of Police-con stable Clancey, 3SB N. Before the prisoner was brought back the omnibus was searched. but the purse could not be found. When the prisoner was apprehended the purse was found close to her feet. To got at the complainant's pocket the thief had to cut through two petticoats ,as well as tp lift the SIIAMLES V. AIREY. This was an action to recover 1;77 os. 10d, for board and lodging, and money lent. lOs. paid into court, and the defendant pleaded that he was not further indebted. Mr. Millward appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Pope for the defendant. It appeared from the opening of the learned counsel for the plaintiff and the evidence called on her behalf, that the defendant was formerly head master of the Hiudley Grammar School, and chaplain of the Hindley Workhouse, his in come from both situations being about £6O a year. Having lost these appointments, he subsequently became curate of West Haughton Church, at £4O a-year. From having lost part of his income he became embarrassed in his circumstances. At his own request he went to reside with the plaintiff, a lady with some fortune. He was to pay 102. a week for his rooms, 108. a week for his board, and Is. 6d. a week for washing, but he had not paid her anything for the last 12 months that he resided with her. Among the items for money lent was one of los , in order to enable the plaintiff to go to Manchester; another of 65., to enable him to go to Bolton ; a third of 9s, 61, for the purchase of a pair of shoes ; and a fourth of 9d. per week for tobacco, the defendant being a great smoker; and another of ls. 2d. a day for beer. Previous to leaving the residence of the plaintiff the defendant took with him a clock, worth 305., and borrowed a carpet-bag, worth 103. Some laughter was caused by the reading over of the items, and 'by the plain tiff stating that' the defendant frequently did not rise until between 2 and 3 o'clock in the afternoon. He was accustomed to sit up very late smoking his pipe and drinking beer. She denied that the de fendant settled with her )n the day before he left her house, or that she was indebted to him. For the defence, Mr. Pope said the agreement was that the defendant should pay the plaintiff 12s. a week for his board tnd lodging, and that he should also give lessons to the plaintiff's son. Be fore leaving he had a settlement with the plaintiff, and paid her every farthing she demanded. As to the clock, it was presented to the defendant by Mrs. Sharples ; and as to :he 10s. paid into court, it was on account of the mrpet-bag which he bor rowed prior to leaving la , .T house. The learned counsel read a letter written by the plaintiff some months after the defendant left her house, from which it appeared that, so far from asking him to pay her the £7O odd alleged to be owing to her, she requested him to lend her £lO, observing, " You will have to help me this quarter, and I will help you next." The learned counsel added, that he would put his client, who at present held a re sponsible position as a clergyman in Leeds, into the witness-box, and he would tell the jury that he was not indebted to the plaintiff at all. The par ties were not on such intimate terms now as they were then, and it would be for the jury, When they ha=l heard the evidence, for the defence, to say on which side the truth lay, end to form their own opinion respecting the reasons which induced the plaintiff to bring the present action. The case was cornmenwd yesterday before his lordship and adjourned. On its being resumed this morning an arrangement was / come to, the defendant submitting tot verdict for in against him on terms. M`CARTILY V. THE LONDC! , I AND NOP.TII-WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. This was an action br;ught by the plaintiff to recover compensation it damages from the de fendants for an injary tustained by the plaintiff complainant's dress—operations implying consider• t CENTRAL Cl? able experience. The prisoner, who gave a false address, said she should reserve her defence. Mr. D'Eyncourt committed her for trial. LAMBETH:—Henry Rosenburgh, Wm. Jones, alias Tucker, Henry Turner, and John Conway, all convicted thieves, living in that infamous street, Granby-street, Waterloo-road, were charged with being concerned in a desperate riot, and demolish ing the glass in the front windows of the house, No. 82, Granby-street. From the testimony given by the police and others, it appeared that on the night of Sunday week a disturbance took place between a notorious thief and prostitute named Poll White, who lives with the prisoner, and the wife of a costermonger. It led to a general fight between the thieves and cos termongers, which created the greatest consterna tion in the neighbourhood, and so fierce was the conflict at one time that it was feared that loss of life must result. The costermongers had the best of the battle, and compelled their opponents to take shelter at Nos. 71 and 59. After doing so they smashed the windows. On the following day, dur ing the absence of the costermongers at their work, the thief party took their revenge, and not only smashed the whole of the windows of the house No. 85, but assaulted some of the female inmates. At the conclusion of the evidence, Mr. Norton expressed his intention to commit the whole of the prisoners for trial ; but said, as it was his wish to deal aut even-hande justice, he should hold three of the costermongers, who were alleged to have been active , y engaged in the disturbance on the Sunday night, to bail, to give the opposite party an opportunity of producing further evidence. If they were enabled to make out a sufficient ease, he would send both parties before a jury. The case was therefore ordered to stand adjourned for a week. Two youths, the sons of respectable parents, were summoned for driving velocipedes along the foot pavement. It appeared the defendants spent their Saturday half-holiday in riding a brace of hired velocipedes along the foot pavement in the Albany road, Camberwell. A shopkeeper in the line of road complained of the practice as a very serious nuisance, and ex pressed a hope that his worship would put a stop to it, The defence set up was that the roads had been fresh watered on the day in question, and they therefore went on to the foot pavement. Mr. Norton observed that there could not be the least doubt the practice was a nuisance, and also alarming to ladies walking along the foot pavement. If persisted in heavy penalties would be imposed. The defendants said they should not repeat the offence, and were ordered to pay half-a-crown each and the expenses. Michael Cleney, a beggar, was charged with breaking a square of plate-glass, of the value of £3, in the shop window of Mr. Thomas Steadling, a baker, of Camberwell-green. Mr.S teadling said that about two hours previously the prisoner apkroached his shop front, and, with out the slightest provocation, deliberately with his fist dashed in a square of plate-glass of the value of £3. Not attempting to escape, he was given into custody. Mr. Norton (to the prisoner).—Well, what ex cuse have you to make•for this wanton conduct ? Prisoner—Well, Sir, some young fellows at a public-house a few doors off drank out of a pot of beer and spirted it in my face. Mr. Norton—And is that any reason why you should deliberately destroy property to the amount of £3 ? Prisoner—Well, I was vexed, and did Oakes, the gaoler, said that this was not the first offence of the same kind -nmmitted by the prisoner. He had been previously before the Court for fling ing a stone through the shop window of Mr. Simp son, a chemist. On that occasion he broke a square of glass of the value of £7 103., for which he suf fered six weeks' imprisonment. Mr. Norton—As he seems a practised offender he must in this case pay the amount of the damage, £3, or be imprisoned for too months. GREENWICH.—Henry Hall, carman, of 9, Skinner's buildings, Roan-street, Greenwich, was charged with causing the death of Sarah Ann Thornton, a child 19 months old, by driving over her with his horse and waggon. Mary Greenwood, of Thames-street, Greenwich. s id she was sitting at needlework between 5 and 6 o'clock the previous afternoon, when she saw the prisoner, who was seated on a coal waggon, drawn by two horses, enter the street. The deceased was then playing in the roadway, and, fearing• she would be run over, witness called to the prisoner, who did not appear to hear her. The deceased got up and ran across the road, and witness saw her knocked down by one of the horses. Witness immediately ran into the street, and there saw that the waggon had gone over the child and that it was killed. The prisoner was on his right tide of the road, and driving with reins. The prisoner said he was extremely sorry for what had occurred, but he never saw the deceased until she was knocked down. _ Mr. Maude said it was perfectly amazing to find parents who could allow children of such tender age to be playing in public roadways, with no one to look after them. The death of the deceased ap peared to have resulted from no fault of the pri soner, and he would therefore be discharged. HAMMERSMITH.—Mr. Henry Hodsdon, land lord of the William the Fourth publichouse, Kensal green, appeared before Mr. Dayman to answer a police summons, charging him with having his house open for the sale of wines, spirits, &c., on Sunday afternoon, the 11th inst., the same not being for the refreshment of travellers. Police-constable Fondey, of the D division, said that at a quarter to 5 o'clock he saw a hearse and mourning coach outside the defendant's house, the windows of which were open, and the mourners entered and stood round the bar. They were on their return from the cemetery, which was about half a mi!© from the house. He had been specially employed to watch the mourners attending with funerals on Sundays in consequence of their disor derly conduct. Mr. Dayman inquired if the mourners were in the habit of getting drunk ? The constable said that those attending the Roman Catholic Cemetery were in the habit of doing so. On many occasions the Irish funerals were followed by 100 persons or more. A sergeant said that the scenes on Sunday were disgraceful, and that the inhabitants frequently complained. Mr.Dayman said people were liable to be punished for abusing what was lawful. He was of opinion, but of course he was open to correction, that mourn ers were travellers in every sense of the word, and it had been held that persons going to Putney merely on their own pleasure were travellers. He dismissed the summons. 1,-....., ------ d UR T, Avg, OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justices Blackburn an THE BETTING IN BRIDE-L.N.E. The four prisoners indicted for creating a nuisance in Bride-lane, by obstructing the thoroughfare by betting on horse racing, viz., Newsome, Powt er, Scams% and Wale surrendered to their bail. The police constables repeated their evidence to the effect that the four defendants were engaged in Bride- lane betting on horse races. A great many persons in. c - onsequence assembled and the thoroughfare was completely obstructed. The jury returned a verdict of guilty. The learned judge said he supposed there , was nothing vindictive about the present prosecution. Mr. Sleigh, who appeared to prosecute, said. the indict ment was preferred mainly for the purpose o f making it known to others that the state of things that ha d existed in Bride-lane could not be tolerated. Justice Blackburn said, such being the case, he should call upon each of the defendants to enter into sureties in the sum of £lOO to come up for judgment when call.d upon. The defendants entered into the required recognisances, and were discharged. THE POST-OFFICE ROBBEitIES. John Smith, Peter Hollins Trounson, Alfred Chapman, George Wright, Jabez Wright, and William Pearce letter carriers, all of whom had been convicted of stealing letters, were sentenced to five years' penal servitude. The Learned Judge said as the case of Bairstow differed from the rest, and as it only amounted to larceny, he should sentence him to 18 months' imprisonment. NEW COURT. THE SUGAR ROBBERV, Frederick Henry Drake, 29, clerk, anti Henry Cooper, 28, grocer, were indicted for stealing four hogsheads of sugar, of the valu of £l6O, the property of the Master of Drake. The jury found both prisoners guilty, and Drake was sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment in. the House of Correction, and Cooper to five years' penal s,,:rvitude. WILLS ~41VD BEQUESTS.
