THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVE`NING, OCTOBER 6, 1864. BOW STREET. SELLING WINS WITHOUT ♦ LICENSE.—BIase Rosetti, a wine merchant, carrying on business at dl, King. street, Regent-street, appeared to a summons charging him with selling wine without a license. Mr Dwelly, the solicitor to the Excise, said Mr Rosetti formerly took out a license for selling wine, which he allowed to expire, and, notwithstanding that fact, he con tinued to sell without having renewed his license to do so. An officer of the Excise entered Mr Rosetti's shop soon after his license lead expired, and purchased a bottle of claret, and, having paid for it, he ask , d Mr Rosetti if he had a license. Mr Rosetti said he had had 0n.., but he had not yet renewed 451 4! 5 128; 8 Ho} 40 11 39i 63 i 115 14S } 103 5 2 1 i I [Of 112 I 11/ 12/ 1081 g # 84 1309 130 1071 7 V 751 82 lf atudness don it. The cflicer advised him at once to take out the license, which he did, but the present proceedings were instituted for the recovery of the penalty that bad been incurred by Mr Rosetti, by selling wine between the expiration and the renewal of his license. The Board had consented to accept inbtead of the full penalty; but Mr Rosetti, he be lieved, objected to this, believing he was justified in so doing, Mr Rosetti said, when the officer told him to take out his license he said no proceedings would be taken against him. He accordingly paid for a renewal of the license, yet he had been summoned to this court for the recovery of a penalty. He did not think the Eioise ought to have taken any proceedings against him. Mr Henry—You are summoned for the fine you have incurred by selling wine during the time you had no license. The money you have paid is to enable you to sell for the future. Mr Rosetti—The officer told me if I took out the license directly, I should not be proceeded against. Mr Dwelly said the Beard of Exchequer had intimated that if Mr Rosetti would pay 108 all proceedings should be stayed. _ _ Mr Rosetti—That's all very well ; but I (Let see that I ought to pay the Ns at all. Mr Henry—What is the amount of fine for selling wine without a license ? Mr Dwelly—L2o. Mr Henry—l think, Mr Roeetti, you are very fortunate. if you don't accept the offer, I shall have to hear the oase, and, if proved, fine you £2O. I think you had better pay the 108 instead of finding fault. Mr Rosetti—Well, sir, if you think it is right I will pay .he money. Mr Henry—lf you ask me, I don't think it is quite right. I think that if the case is proceeded with I shall have to fine you £2O. You had better pay the money instead of finding fault. Mr Dwelly said the board had determined not to enforce the full penalty if the fine of 10s. was paid. If that was agreed to by Mr Rosetti, the information upon which the summons was issued would be withdrawn. Ultimately Mr Rosetti paid the 10s. and retired. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. 57 OMNIBUS HORSES.—Edward Miller, a foreman in the employ of the London General Omnibus Company, ap peared before Mr. Tyrwhitt to answer the complaint of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, of unlawfully causing and procuring to be cruelly ill-treated and tortured, two horses. Mr. Beard appeared for the defendant on the part of ths company. The horses, when brought to the front of the court for the inspection of the magistrate, were in a very bad condi 101f 1 dition. 29 3) 292 1012 ICO2 12 The evidence of Rutherford, one of the Society's officers, as to the condition of the horses, having been read over, Rutherford said, in answer to Mr Beard, that he saw the defendant the following day, and he told him that the horses had been condemned, and ought not to have been sent out. He never had to find fault with the horses under the defendant's charge before. Turner, the driver of the horses, was called, and he said that when the horses were brought to the starting place he complained to the old man who brought them of their condi dition, but as the place was half a mile from the stable he was obliged to go with the horses, having no opportunity of changing them. The man, wh) was only on for the day, said he could not help it. In reply to Mr Beard, the witness said the horses had been stopped in their work to be inspected, as to whether they were fit for work any more or not. Mr Beard said it was to be regretted the horses were brought out, but it was from inadvertence and not inten • tion. The defendant had been forty years in charge of borses, and never complained of before. He hoped, as the defendant was no party to their being worked, the complaint would be dismissed; at the same time he (Mr Beard) would aimit the horses were unfit for work. The old man wag called, and eaid it was through his mistake the horses were brought out. Mr Tyrw hitt, in dismissing the complaint, said he was not at all sorry the defendant had been summoned, as it had been the means of an explanation being given. He was determined to put an end to the misery inflicted upon the poor things if possible. Mr Beard said the horses had been destroyed. Rutherford stated that that was the case. WHERE ARE VAGRANT GIRLS TO BE SENT?--A little girl, named Mary Meriority, wearing an apology for a dress, without covering to her head or shoes to her feet, was charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with begging in Regent street. The case having been proved by Emit Putsch, 339 A, Mr Tyrwhitt asked the child who sent her out. The child said she was sent out by her mother, who lived in Ship-yard, in the Strand. Mr Tyrwhitt said a good deal had been said by some persons as to the magistrates at the police-courts not doing their duty and sending these poor girls to institutions and reformatories ; but in spite of Mr Sydney Turner's report to Parliament, there was scarcely a place where they could be sent to without a sum of money or annuity was paid for them. He should discharge the poor child, there being more fault attaching to the mother than to her, but at the same time he would caution her not to go begging again. THAMES. AN Ex• CABBY IN TROUBLE—CI:URGE OF BIGAMY.— William Hedger, a strange looking man, better known by the name of Cuffey, who was formerly a cab driver, and has been for the last three years hanging about the cab ranks, and• getting his living in a very suspicious manner, was brought before Mr Paget charged with feloniously inter marrying with Hannah Seymour, his first wife being alive at the time. The prisoner is well known to the police. Some time ago he was in a public house opposite a cabstand in the East India-road, Limehouso, and a toll collector entered the house to obtain change for a sovereign. He had no sooner put down the piece of gold than the prisoner snatched it, and exclaimed " I shall go to the Opera with this." He hired a cab and did go to the Opera. The money was expended in one evening. The prisoner was afterwards convicted of the robbery, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment and hard labour, He was sow arraigned on a charge of bigamy. Susannah Miller, of No. 57, Featherstone.street, St Luke, straw bonnet maker, said that 19 years ago she saw the prisoner, her brother, and Maria Pillew standing at the altar of Bethnal-green Church. The clergyman pronounced them man and wife, and repeated the nuptial benediction. The prisoner lived with his wife for ten years afterwards. She was now in court. The first and second wife here presented themselves, and the magistrate said ha could not hear the first and lawful wife, but he could receive the evidence of the second wife, who was no wife at all, legally speaking. Hannah Seymour, of 11, Ramsay-street, Bethnal-green, said she was married to the prisoner at St. Thomas's Church, adjoining the Thames Police Court, Stepney, on the Ist of February, 1858. During the seven years she had been married to him, he had been away from her three years. He was a very bad husband. Directly she heard he had another wife living, she gave him into custody. The prisoner said he had no defence to make. Mr Paget committed the prisoner to Newgate for trial. THE EXPLOSION AT ERNE INQUEST AT GUY'S HOSPITAL. The inquiry touching the death of James Eaves and Elizabeth Wright, who expired at Guy's Hospital from injuries sustained by this catastrophe, and an Italian named Morandi, who was killed by a train on the following evening, was opened at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, at Guy's Hospital, before Mr W. Payne, the coroner for the city of London and borough of Southwark. Mr Poland, instructed by Messrs 1 assel, appeared to watch the proceedings on behalf of Messrs Hall and Co., the proprietors of one of the magazines. The jury having been sworn, The Coroner said that in two of the cases into which they had to it quire the deaths had been occasioned by the ex plosion at Erith, and the other person, an Italian, named Morandi, had been killed at the railway station on the fol lowing night. The jury having viewed the bodies, which were lying in the deadhouse of the hospital, The Coroner said that he would first take the case of the Italian who was killed at the Erith station, Angelo Morandi, aged 24. Ed ward Fumage, porter on the Sou'h-Eastern Railway, proved the confusion which prevailed on the occasion. Mr Tufford, station Waster at Erith, said that there were 740 persons upon the platform at the time in question, and one half of them had to be left behind. When the deceased was taken up he said "lam a dead man." Numbers had got on to the platform over the railings for a quarter of a mile on each side of the station. Many slipped or elided down an embankment 60 feet deep. Mr W. Osborn, Plumstead, said that he was for three hours on the platform waiting to get up. At one time he saw six persons thrown down on the platform. The train came in with great care. There seemed to him to be over I,GOO persons on the platform. _ Mr Guiseppe Morandi, 72, Grange-stree, Goswell-road, cabinet manufacturer, said that deceased was 24 years of age. He was a cabinet manufacturer. Mr Sidney Turner, house-surgeon, said that deceased was brought in at 12 30 on Monday morning with his thigh smashed and other injuries. He said he would sooner die than have his leg off, and he died in three-quarters of an hour. He said that he had been pushed down under the train by the crowd. Inspector Bell said that when the train was coming to the station it was necessary to telegraph to stop it 400 yards down the line, as such numbers had got on to the metals that hundreds of lives would have been lost if it came up; and even at that distance 30 persons were found cn the rails when the engine pulled up. The Coroner having summed up, the jury returned a verdict of accidental death. The Coroner then proceeded to take the evidence in the other eases. Mr Wm. Hall, of Faversham, Kent, a gunpowder manu facturer, deposed—We had stores of powder, or a powder magazine, at Erith. It is about 100 yards from the river. There is a tramway between it and the river, composed of wood, to prevent friction. The wheels of the carriage are made of gun metal. There was another magazine, about 200 or 300 yards from mine. There was a separate tramway to it. The explosion took place on Saturday morning, at about a quarter before 7 o'clock. I was staying just below Ashford, which is a distance of about 60 miles from the scene of the accident. There had been two barges at our wharf, one of which belonged to us and the other to our manager. They arrived at about midday on Thursday. One of them had delivered a quantity of powder at Graves end, and the other, I .suppose, was discharging into the magazine. I have been there when they have been unload • ing. The powder is in barrels, which are taken out of the barge by hand. One man handler a whole barrel. They were placed upon trucks and then carried into the magazine. The the f barrelso foreman are n p perfectly e thec tl y cooperssafe from before leakage, k t s h g e ey leave the cooperage,, being examined by and then again by the foreman of the dusting house before they are filled. Ido not know how many barrels were being unloaded. Rayner, the storekeeper, would be at the maga zine to receive the barrels. They had begun to unload when this happened. Rayner is dead. Hs had two assistants, who are both dead. The explosion destroyed the whole building. My barge was full, and the other had partly un loaded at Gravesend. I believe Jarnett was the captain of my barge, and Barber was his mate. They are both dead. The captain c•t the other barge was named John Gladson. He is also dead. Ido not know of any person now living who can throw any light upon the cause of the explosion. I am practically aware of the mode in which gunpowder is manufactured, having been at it forty years. It is com posed of saltpetre, brimstone, and charcoal. These articles are amalgamated at the amalgamating mills, as they are termed. The charges are mixed and placed on the runners, worked by steam. The Coroner—The object of the questions is to ascertain whether the articles might not be kept apart until they are wanted. Witness—lt would be impossible, as the gases could not be fixed. Coroner—Does anything occur to you which would render explosions less probable ? Witness—No, we take every precaution. Coroner—You think that this did not arise from a con tinuous train of powder from the barges to the magazine. If the magazines were further removed from the water would it bo safer ? Witness—l think not ; for the concussion would be suffi cient to explode it if it were at a much greater distance. By the J ury—The instant the concussion takes place the magazine opens, and the flash or spark immediately com municates. By Mr Pcland—l purchased at great expense the ground surrounding the building, in order that psople should not be near the magazine. Rayner has been 12 years in my service, and I believe him to have been a careful, well conducted man. He lived in a detached cottage on my ground. All the men employed upon the premises wear slippers, which I procure for them in order that they shall not work with shoes made with nails. I have never had an explosion either at the magazines or barges. By the Jury—A fire is not allowed upon a loaded barge, even it the hatches are down. lam not aware that any of the men are accustomed to smoke. William Monk, foreman of Mr Hall's mills at Faversham, deposed—There were two men in the barge which I sent off filled with gunpowder in barrels on Monday. It was to be delivered at the magazine. One barge was called the Har riett, and the other the Good Design. A portion of the powder was to be delivered off Gravesend. I cannot say how the explosion took place. Every means is taken to prevent explosions. The materials which form gunpowder are all ground separately and mixed. Neither of the two articles used in the manufacture of gunpowder would explode with out the third. By Mr Poland—l have been at Faversham for 60 years. The men who had charge of the barges were very steady men, and had had charge of powder for years. There is a fireplace,in the cabin, which is divided from the hold by a wooden partition lined with lead. _ _ _ _ . By the Jury—The men nearly always take their food with them ready cooked. . _ Police-sergeant Edward Cox, 15 R, deposed—l was at Erith police-station on Saturday morning when this hap pened. I heard a fearful explosion, and upon going out at the back I saw a large volume of smoke arising. I imme diately supposed that one of the magazines had gone. I got medical assistance and went to the spot. I assisted in get ting the injured persons out of the ruins and sending them to the hospital. I also sent messengers to Woolwich, as I saw an opening in the river bank, I have heard that two men had been near the magazine with a barge loaded with gunpowder on the previous evening, but they went down the river. I hove seen lighterman Grimes. who says that his back was towards the magazine when he was suddenly struck in the back and knocked into the river ; his mate helped him into a boat, when he became insensible. It is not true that Grimes said that he saw something like a flash of lightning in the barge. He said that his mate (Bruce) could tell more about it. Bruce lives at Perriwinkle• street, gunpowder would Ratcliff-cross. Inspector Bell said that Grimes had given two or three different accounts of the affair. notM erxHplaoldl By the Jary —There are no nails in the casks. The rolling of a cask over bare gunpowder would not cause it to ignite. owsapsonretcaanleleodu,salyn.d deposed that We have no reason to suppose that it was an incendiary act. From the appearance of the embankment I should say that the explosion first took place from the barge s . Inspector Bell recalled —I have seen Grimes, and he said that he was opposite the magazine in a Trinity lighter. He asked one of his men named Bruce to go down and get the hawser, when all at once he heard an explosion, and was immediately lifted np in the air to a distance of 30 yards, and he then fell down in the water. I asked him whether 1 he saw a flash, and he said that be had seen something like a flash of lightning in the water. The man Bruce and a comrade of his na med Clarke, rre ferred to by Sergeant Cox in his evidence, were sent for by order of the coroner. Robertß r u m c eo, morning P n g e r ew wasn k l e - o s n t r ebeotad the b a ll as t li g ht er No. 32, in the river right a breast of' the powder magazine, , Ratcliffe, d e p ose d th a t o n Saturday It was about 20 minutes to eeven oclock, and he noticed persons walking about on the barges alongside the powder jetty, but he could not tell whether or not they wero un loading. Directly afterwards there was a great light all around the ballast lighter. and then came something like a volley of guns, and the bricks came flying into and about the lighter. He looked up and saw fragments of the buildings in the air overhead, and the rubbish began to splash in the water. There was a great smoke. He could not tell what first blew up. By the Jury—He had not observed whether there was any smoke issuing from the barges as if cuoking was going on. He had often seen the barge Good Design, and he never saw the crew smoking. They were steady men, and used no bad language on the water. John Clarke gave similar evidence. He did not see any • thing until there was a great light about his barge, and the bricks came flying through the sails. Grimes. who was on board, was lifted into the air, and he fell into the water. Ile had not much recollection now of what had happened. Mr Sidney Turner, house surgeon, 6aid that Elizabeth Wright was brought in dying from collapse, and she died in a few mintues. James Evans had his skull fractured and the right lobe of the brain lacerated. John Wright said (list lie worked at Messrs Curtice's mills, which were about a quarter of a mile from Messrs Hall's, where his father lived. Curtiee's magazine had the windows blown in by the explosion. His father was killed in ale magazine, and his sister was in bed at the time she received her injuries. Mrs Eaves identified the body of John Eaves as that of her husband. It was proved that Eaves was in a shed lent by Mr Silver to Mr Kayly's men at the time of the explosion. His com rade, who was with him, was buried under some planks, which protected him from the bricks that fell upon and crushed deceased. The Coroner having britfly summed up, _ _ . The jury, after a long deliberation, returned the following special verdict :—" The jury find that the deceased persons died by accident through an explosion of gunpowder, but how the explosion took place there is no evidence to show, and the jury think that the practice of allowing stoves, or lights of any description, on board powder barges ought to bo discontinued." The inquiry then terminated. WESTMINSTER. DISTRESSING CASB OF SXOPLIFTING.—Mary Anne Reynolds and Jessie Godfrey, two very well dressed women, said to be the wives of respectable men, and the former of whom carried an infant, were placed at the bar charged with stealing a shawl, value £1 ss, from the shop of Mr Hill, 70, King's-road, Chelsea. Mr Hill said that they came in together yesterday after noon, and were known as customers against whom suspi cions of dishonesty were entertained. Prisoners were twenty minutes in the shop, during which time they were watched. Thoy purchased a shawl for 18s 9d, and paid 35 of it, promising to bring the remainder. As they were about leaving the shop prosecutor asked them if they had any property of his about them that had not been paid for, and they replied, " No." He asked them if they had any objec tion to be searched, and they also replied no, and were taken up stairs, where a missing shawl was found. Reynolds at this point of the case fainted in the dock, and was carried out into the air. Restoratives having been applied, she was again brought before the magistrate, and exclaimed, "I am guilty. I took the shawl, but the wo man who was by my side knew nothing about it till it was found." Miss Louisa Howard, shopwoman, said she watched the prisoners. She saw Reynolds fold the shawl up, at which time Godfrey was at another part of the shop. When God frey returned Reynolds took the shawl off the coun 4 er. Godfrey expressed her willingness to be searched, the other was not willing. The shawl which had been stolen was found under Reynolds's elother, where it seemed it had been carefully pinned, as it took her some time to un fasten it. A policeman proved that he was called to take the pri goners into custody. When he did so Godfrey declared her innocence. Prieonors were remanded till Monday. The Exhibition of the Industrial Arts at the Palace of Industry has just been opened, but the exhibitors are far front having completed the arrangement of their products. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS—This Day. Thi3 being the day fixed upon for the renewal and grant ing of now licences the magistrates sat for the purpose of disposing of a great number of applications. With very few exceptions the whole of the licences granted last year were renewed. The renewal of a licence was in one instance objeoted to in consequence of applicant having permitted dancing in his house, his licence being eolely for music. An Inspector of the H Division said the house, which was situated in Leman-street, Whitechapel, was now conducted in an orderly manner, and closed at proper hours. About three weeks ago a man was stabbed after leaving the house, and at the trial, which took place before Mr Bodkin, the Assistant-Judge, it transpired the dancing was permitted in the house although it was only licensed for music. Mr Bodkin desired that the fact might be intimated to the magistrates when an application was made for the renewal of the license. One of the magistrates on the bench said dancing was carried on in the house habitually. License refused. THE STRAND MUSIC HALL. The application of the directors for a license for musio for his now building will be taken to-morrow. WESTON'S RETREAT. The application of William James Kent, for a license for Weston's Retreat, will also be considered to-morrow. MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE. IMPERIAL WEEKLY AVERAGES.

CAPTAIN SPEKE'S LAST LETTER.—The following is a copy of an unfinished letter which was found among the gallant and lamented gentleman's papers, and which, it is believed, contains the last words he ever wrote:— ' Neston Park, Coraham, Sept. 14.—Dear Mr Tinne,—l have been delighted by seeing the way in which you have been handling the Nile question in the Timer of the 12th. The ladies' accounts of the way they were treated by those ruffians up there is a perfect picture, as far as it goes, of the true state of the system practised in those lands, There is one other reason not alluded to which must have ope rated to thwart the ladies' designs—viz., the jealousy the traders are so susceptible to of any one prying into the nature of the country they have appropriated to them selves. Pray do keep working this subject, for no ono can do it better than yourself. No doubt, indeed, a consul is much wanted in the Soudan; but then he should not be a trader, for no one can trade honestly in those regions. I have great fears about the fate of Baker. He ordered Petherick to place a boat for him at Gondokoro this and last year, The boat was there, and the men with whom Baker went into the interior must have returned to that post, else we could not have heard of Baker's having gene to Unyoro. This being necessarily the case, how is it that Baker did not send a line by them to Petherick, unless some foul play can answer the question ? For the love of those you have lost, do bring retzibution on the miscreants who occasioned it. There is no richer i,:_ nd in the world than the equatorial regions, and nothing more u: i mpor t a nce to the interesis of Egypt, as well as our own mercha 2fll " than that of openinu up those lands to legitimate commerce. COURAGEOUS CONDUCT OP A SERVANT GIRL. — At about a quarter-past 12 on Sunday morning last a bur glarious entrance was effected at the house of Mr Edward Wood, of Oakham. Mr Wood, who is in business in Dud ley, was staying at his business residence, and the house was left with only a servant girl and a younger son of the pro prietor. At the time abovementioned the girl, whose name is Hannah Langston°, was aroused by hearing a noise in the house. She at once got up and went down stairs, and found a man in the back kitchen with a side of bacon on his shoulders. She immediately naught hold of the bacon and took it from him %ud commenced calling for aid. The burglar attacked her, and while struggling with him, kicked her violently ou the right thigh, which is bruised and blackened severely. He ultimately made his escape through the kitchen window, which he had forced in obtain ing an entrance. The girl endeavoured to prevent his escape, but the man overpowered her and got away, without h owev er taking any spoil. As soon as possible an alarm was raised and several neighbours came to the spot, but the man had succeeded in getting beyond pursuit. Besides the flitch of bacon, a ham was found out ready for carrying away. Detective -sergeant Davies, of the Dudley force, was called in, and his opinion is that the fording of the window is not the work of a " regular hand." The girl is seriously but not dangerously hurt. Her courageous behaviour is a general topic of comment in the town, and we understand it is the intention of her employer to re ward her handsomely for plucky conduct.—.Birasinghatn Garage. At the Clerkenwell police-court yesterday a gene tleman named Lloyd was charged with having got ' out of a train in motion on the Metropolitan Railway. The affair took place on the 10th of September. Mr Lloyd wanted to get out at King's Cross, but failed to do so before the door of the carriage in which he was riding was shut and the train in motion. He-then opened the door and in sisted on getting out. The result was that he fell on to the line a little within the tunnel and was taken up for dead. Fortunately, however, he was only insensible, but was very seriously hurt. The magistrate yesterday fined him ls. and costs, but the railway company declined to receive the costs. At the Middlesex Sessions yesterday a police constable named Gully was charged with assaulting a married woman named Gumpertz. According to the statement for the prosecution Gully had behaved in a very coarse and brutal manner to Mrs Gompertz. It was alleged for the prisoner, on the other hand, that he had found her making a great row, and had taken her into custody, and that the charge against him was an afterthought. The jury ceuld not agree upon a verdict, and were discharged. DEATH OF THE FIRST NUTMEG PLANTER IN GRENADA.—Mr. Robert Kennedy, a native of Perthshire, Scotland, who emigrated to Grenada in 1804, and subsequently introduced the nutmeg into that colony, expired in August last at the ripe age of 83. The nutmegs sent from the deceased gentleman's gardens at Bellevue carried the prize at the Great Exhibition of 1851. Hi s graye lies between those of his wife and daughter, shadowed by the wide-spreading branches of his first planted nutmeg tree, in the midst of his plantations, vfhere he had himself directed it should be,-- 1 -.7 he Grocer, SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

Bigge (stipendiary), Mr Montagu Scott, Mr Cordy Burrows, and Mr Hollis, were engaged the whole day in investigating a curious charge of perjury preferred against a tradesman. The party charged is Mr Henry Mowbray, auctioneer and estate agent, on the Grand Parade, and also agent to the Railway Passengers Insurance Company. The prosecutor is Mr Samuel Thorncroft, assistant overseer of Brighton, and registrar of births, marriages, and deaths for St. Peter's district in that town. It appeared that on the 20th August Mr Mowbray called on Mr Thorncroft, at the parochial office, at the b Atom of Church-street, and asked Mr Thorn croft to insure with him, and that a conversation ensued, which resulted in Mr Thorncroft agreeing to insure for £250 the expense of which'would be £l. In payment Mr Thorncroft dr,,w a cheque on the London and County Bank, and took f rom . f,:y Mowbray a receipt for £l. A few days afterwards, on looking ,at the counterfoil in his cheque-book, he found a at the corresponding cheque was £.5, and memorandum ti this he immediately corrected to £l, but when he received his bank book at the euld of the month be found that he was debited £5 in the name Cr Mowbray. Finding that he had thus inadvertently drawn s cheque for £5 instead of £l, he sent for Mr mowbray, and azked:for the restoration of the £4. Mr Mowbray replied that when Mr Thorncroft paid him the £1 he said he never drew cheques for so small an amount as £l, and that he consequently drew a cheque for £5, receiving from him (Mr Mowbray) the £4 ,balance. This Mr Thorncroft denied. He declared that he stover received the £4, and that he said nothing whatever as to net drawing small cheques. In fact, the very next cheque that he drew was for £l. The parties being unable to agNe upon the facts, Mr Thorncroft sued in the county court fo; the £4 a fortnight since, when both parties swore to what j 8 mentioned above, Mr Thornoroft support ing his version of the transaction by the evidence of Mr Underwood, the deputy assistant overseer, and a clerk named Carpenter, both of whom denied that any coin passed on the occasion in question. The judge of the county court (Mr Furner) gave a verdict for the plaintiff. Mr Thorn croft, ordering the immediate restoration of the £4 by Mr Mowbray. Since that time Mr:Mowbray had is conversa tion charged Mr Thorncroft with perjury; and Mr Thorn croft replied by summoning him before the magistrates and charging the perjury on the other aide. Mr A. T. Mills, of Brighton, conducted the pi secution; Mr J. G. Langham, of Uckfield, was engaged for the defence. Mr Ewen Evershed, the registrar of the county Wirt, and Mr Woolham, the usher of the court, produced the record of the case, and gave evidence of the defendant having swprn that he handed the four sovereigns to Mr Thorncroft. Mr Thorncroft himself was examined, and having detailed all the circumstances of the case reiterated his averment that no money passed. He was cleverly cross examined by Mr Longhorn. Mr Underwood and the boy Carpenter gave evidence in corroboration. They did not see Mr Mowbray give Mr Thorncroft the four sovereigns, although they were in a position to see that took place. Mr Longhorn, in a powerful address, urged that it was far more probable that Mr Thorneroft's memory failed, than that Mr Mowbray bad committed deliberate and wilful per jury. Mr Mowbray came from Leicester, where he . had presented him with a pice of plate. He proposed to ca 1125 witnesses, who would give him the highest pc ssible character. The m age. strates, after a sitting of six hou rs, decided on committing Mr Mowbray for trial, but admi tted him to bail, himself in £lOO, and two sureties in £5O each. MADLLE.
