COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. Yesterday the first court since the holidays was held for the despatch of public business. STEAM-BOAT ACCOMMODATION AT THE SOUTH-EASTERN SIDE OF LONDON-BRIDGE. Mr. DE JERSEY said he had to complain of two breaches of privilege committed by the Lord Mayor ; and when he had made a short statement of facts, he had no doubt that his lordship would be enabled to offer such an explanation of his conduct as would be satisfactory not only to him (Mr. De Jersey), but also to the public at large* His attention was called a short time ago to a report in the newspapers, from which it appeared that a very large and influential body of gentlemen, consisting of chairmen and directors of steam-boat and railway and other companies, had waited upon his lordship, at the Mansion-house, and repre sented the extreme necessity of his granting permission for the erection of a temporary pier at the south eastern end of London-bridge, This was on the ad August, three days after the vacation had commenced. The deputation assigned as a reason for the urgency of their request the immense amount of traf fi c in the s h ape of passengers who were expected to be disembar ked at the floating pier, on their road to the Crystal Palace, although during the months of June and July double the number of persons had visited that building as com pared with those proceeding there in August. Th e deputation knew that it was th e vacation of the court, and that the law officers of the corporation were out of i town, and they, therefore, sought that opportunity of making their application to his lordship. .H® (Mr. De Jersey) had no hesitation in saying that these gentlemen made out a very strong case before his lordship, who referred them to the navigation committee, who like wise listened to their statements. But not succeeding in this quarter, they again repaired to the Mansion house, and the 'Lord Mayor, after expressing his great regret that the Court of Common Council, by reason of its being holiday time, was not sitting, gave the steam boat company permission to erect a temporary platform at the south-eastern end of the bridge, considering addi tional accommodation for passengers there landing a matter of immediate necessity. An investigation had taken place at the Southwark Police-court with refer ence to the right to obstruct the river opposite the stairs, in the course of which Mr. Haslewood, the chair man of one of the steam-boat companies, a very active and influential gentleman, bad stated that he had ob tained the sanction of the Lord Mayor to place the float ing-pier at the spot in question; and that he intended to cause it to be put there. Now, a report had been made by the law officers of the corporation, on the 13th of July, by reference to which it would have been seen that this was a measure which could not be recom mended, for reasons therein stated. Mr. Con—l rise to order. In a matter of this sort, upon a question of privilege, I submit that it is the bounden duty of the gentleman to state clearly and ex plicitly, in the first place, what the breach of privilege of which he complains is. Having obtained your lord ship's ruling, or by the permission of the Court, the right to treat the question as a breach of privilege, he will then be entitled to go into the facts of the case. I therefore ask your lordship to rule that it is necessary that the Court should know at once what the specific charge of breach of privilege is. Mr. DE JERSEY said that the first breach of privilege of which he complained was, that the Lord Mayor, in the step which he had taken, had violated one of the rules of the Court, which stated that no pier or landing place could be erected within the jurisdiction of the corpora tion, as conservators of the river, without the permis sion of the navi g ation committee, and that it was to be backed by the Lard Mayor before it could be acted upon. On the 9th of March last the Court, after much discussion and deliberation, bad referred the matter in dispute between Messrs. Fenning and the steam-boat companies to the navigation and Bridge-house commit tees, to consider and report upon. The Lord Mayor was a member of those committees, and yet, pending an investigation to consider what steps should be taken, his lordship had given permission for the erection of a pier, a mere verbal authority, the rule of the corporation being that leave granted for the placing a landing pier on the river, within the limits of the jurisdiction of the Court, should be expressed in writica. He (Mr. De Jersey) should therefore move that the Lord Mayor had committed two breaches of privilege. The LORD MAYOR—Really I am at a great loss to know the nature of the charge that has been brought against me, and which I have been asked by Mr. De Jersey to explain. (Hear.) The report to which he has alluded explains all that I have done, and pretty nearly all that I said to the deputation. On the day to which he has alluded (August 3), I said to them, that, as far as I legally could, I gave my individual sanction, as Lord Mayor, for abating of a great public inconve nience, threatening the loss of life, as life already had been lost in the instance of the brothel of the late sheriff, Mr. Pilcher. Besides this, I have been an observer not only of the crowded state of London-bridge, but of the frightful danger of crossing a thoroughfare so densely thronged by foot passengers during the day. (Hear.) I apprehend that when a deputation comes to any gentle man, whether the Lord Mayor or a member of this court, or a Minister of State, that the least that can be done is to treat them with courtesy, and make them such a reply as candour and duty would dictate. I told the deputation I would approve of the stop they were about to take as far as I could legally. (hear.) If Mr. De Jersey intends to deny this individual right to any person, that he will approve of a step as far as he can legally, he would deny the Lord May or of London that which he, together with all his fellow-subjects, would claim for themselves; (Hear.) All that I have done is to join my opinion with that of the gentlemen who waited on me, that there was an evil which required remedy ing, and I believe that I only assented to a course agreed upon by this court, namely, that a temporary platform should be erected under the bridge, in order to make both sides of the bridge and the public stairs avail able for the landing of passengers. Within the last few days I have paid a visit to London-bridge, and found that the silt and mud remaining on the steps leading to the water render it impossible to land passengers without danger to life, and I am satisfied, from the slippery state of the steps, that unless there is something like a good temporary landing-place erected there, accidents must inevitably happen. (Hear, hear.) Again, I say, I know of no privilege whatever that I have infringed, and if Mr. De Jersey has any real notion that I have done so, and will embody his opinions in the shape of a mo tion, I will afford him the fullest opportunity of having the subject discussed. (Hear.) The matter then dropped. Several reports wereieceived and ordered to be printed, and the Court adjourned. AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS. The following circular has been addressed by the Poor-Law Board to the officials of the Unions in the several counties where the collection of facts relating to agricultural statistics is proposed to be made for the present year : "Poor-Law Board, Whitehall, Sept., 1851, " You are doubtless aware that (at the request of the Lords of the Committee of Council of Trade and with the express sanction of Parliament, the Poor-Law Board undertook to collect the agricultural statistics of Norfolk and Hampshire for the year 1853, through the agency, wherever practicable, of the boards of guardians of those two counties and their officers. " The large measure of success which attended that ex periment to obtain reliable information on a most im portant subject, considered in conjunction with the com plete success of somewhat similar operations in three scotch counties, has led to a renewal of thole undertakings on a more extended scale in the present year. _ _ " The experiment for 1,54 will embrace the whole of Scotland and the following counties of England and Wales —viz., Norfolk, Suffolk, Southampton, Wilts, Leicester, Berks, Worcester, Salop, West Riding of York, Brecon, and Denbigh. " In Scotland the proceedings will be conducted, as in 1653, under the auspices of the Highland Society. In England and Wales it is intended to put in motion the machinery which worked, upon the whole, so satisfactorily in Norfolk and llampehire. " I am therefore instructed by the Poor-Law Board to request you to have the goodness to move the board of guardians over which you preside to aid in the accom plishment of an object admitted to be of great national importance. " In N or f o lk an d H amps hi re i t was foun d that this object was best p romo t e d b y th e formation anti co-op e-a tiou, in every un i on, of a j oint committee of owners and ec,upiere, called' the Statistical Committee,' with the chee neat, withuu teeclasionc_ of the union fur its chairman, and by employing, concurrence of the guardians, the clerk of the cuun gi term r n a n d the relieving officers as enumerators. tons Anted tons Anted affordseet and support which a committee so welt as by the en ,,l the mere fact of its existence, as directions, go far ki o cl i Ment of the union officers under its find no difficulty or =e success, and I trust you will isiegeuch a committee among the agriculturists of leading essential, although certaYin°ller union.,e It is not, however, committee should consist exclusively convenient, that the board of guardians, er that the !I:eV cf members of the ploy to enumerate and classify the e r r e ' ° " whom it may em ploy selected exclusively from the officers statisti s snould • The duties of the committee aro not's of the - union. jest it members to much personal troullf, &nature to sub uh, tau have to do may be summ e d ,„ All, or nearly 10 in; heads P Under the two fol .

These docu ments are substantially the same as the documents used i n the statistical inquiry of 1853, though certain modifications, of which practical experience hes suggested the propriety, have been introduced into them. "I have to add that the clerks of unions, if employed as classifiers will be remunerated by a payment at the rate of 10s. per 100 completed schedules A and B, together with the further gratuity of 2 guineas for the preparation of schedule C ; and that the relieving officers, if employed as enumerators, will be remunerated by a payment at the rate of 40s. per 100 completed schedules A and B, together with a bounty, on the present occasion, of ss. per 100 sche dules whenever the difficulties surmounted or the special merit of tha work performed shall, in the opinion of the Poor-Law Board, appear to call for some extra compensa tion. • " The Poor-Law Bard, are, however, particularly a one that in selecting the enumerators the relieving ofpcer shoild nit be employed if any fear can Yes sinably be itl tertained that such employment would be prejudicial"-to the interests of the union. " The results of the experimental proceedings in Norfolk and Hampshire, which were unavoidably prolonged threugh a severe winter, seem to prove that the relieving officer without detriment to the administration of relief, properly be intrusted with this employment. Still, the Poor-Law Board are very far from wishing to restrict boards of guardians to the employment of their officers, Poor ' •Law Inspector. • " Chairman of the Board of Guardians."

Alderman Muggeridge said the defendant was a dm ,/ • tardly young man for several reasons. In the first " I remain very in stance he behaved towards the complainant most insult ingly, and then, because his improper overtures were repelled with indignation, he subjected her to other annoyanoes, and ultimately assaulted her in a most cowardly manner. The accusations against complain ant's character were disreputable in the extreme, and he felt vary much disposed to commit the defendant to prieon, and so put it out of the power of his friends to assist him, but he would not do so this time. He should therefore fine the defendant 101., or in default three months' imprisonment with hard labour. The fine was not paid, and the defendant was there fore locked up. George Button, a private in the Royal London Militia, was charged with enlisting in the above corps, and giv ing a false address. Quartermaster•Serjeant Brett said the prisoner was attested and.received 10s., but on making inquiries he ascertained he had given a false address, so that if ho was not forthcoming at drill he could not be found. Alderman Muggeridge reprehended the prisoner's con duct, and committed him to prison for two months. CLERKENWELL.—When Mr. Tyrwhitt took his seat on the bench, Mrs. Skinner, who charged Mr. Soper, the secretary of the Working Man's Emigration Society, with assault, was introduced to the witness-box, when, addressing Mr. Tyrwhitt, she said that although Mr. Soper had produced witnesses to swear that he was not at home on the Friday, she could produce evidence as to his having violently assaulted her on the previous Monday, and she requested to have a summons granted against him for the assault on that day. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he would not grant the summons ; the case had been heard and decided upon for the assault on Friday, but she might indict him for both assaults at the sessions. She thanked the bench and left the court: When applicant left the box, a poor young woman succeeded her, to complain against the Working Man's Emigration Society, for detaining her subscription money under circumstances already and so often detailed in the newspapers. Applicant said she had paid in her subscriptions for the purpose of being sent out to Australia. She obeyed the instructions in the 16th rule, by sending in a written notice to have the money returned to her in a month. T.,e month had expired, but Mr. Soper had refused to return her the money, and she determined on applying at this court for advice. Mr: Tyrwhitt said they would never be done with such applications with reference to this emigration society. The fact was that the society had ousted the jurisdiction of the magistrate by having in their rules an arbitration clause. He (Mr. Tyrwhitt) would advise those parties who had parted with their money to the society to meet together and employ some respectable professional man to call for the arbitration, and pursue the matter accord ing to law. I can only say, if the society do not pay the money back to those members who have regularly applied far it, nobody would be foolish enough in future to deposit their money with them, and the society would inevitably drop to the ground. (Smiling)— What with kissing women, and these constant applica tions for not returning money to the members, the magistrates would have nothing else to do but with Mr. Soper and the Working Man's Emigration Society. Applicant thanked his worship, saying she would adopt his advice. A poor woman, in a state of great excitement, applied to Mr. Tyrwhitt for advice and assistance under the fol lowing extraordinary circumstances : She said that on Wednesday evening her little son, eight years of age, was playing in Margaret-street, Clerkenwell, when another boy, ten years of age, came to him with a bottle of vitriol, and asked him to drink some of it, saying it was gin. Her son drank some of it, which burnt him severely, and the other boy threw some of it over him and injured his clothes, and his flesh was shockingly burnt. He instantly ran home crying, and in great pain, and she took him to a surgeon, who advised his instant removal to St. Bartholomew's Hos pital. Applicant went in pursuit of the boy who admi nistered the poisonous liquid, and she traced him with the quart bottle containing the vitriol now produced, and giving it to other boys. She took the bottle from him, and she ascertained that his master had sent him for the stuff. Mr. Tyrwhitt directed applicant to proceed to the nation-house and take an officer with her, and give the boy into custody immediately. She did so, and he was placed at the bar. He gave his name George Scannell, errand-boy, 62, St. John-street, Clerkenwell. Edward M'Gee, the injured boy, said he resided with his parents at 17, Berry-street, Clerkenwell. On Wed nesday evening he was carrying his mother's baby in his arms when the prisoner came up to him with a quart bottle. He said, "Do you want a drop of gin ?" He opened my hand, and poured something into it, which burnt it very much. He confirmed his mother's state ment. Mrs. Elizabeth M'Gee, his mother, said her son's hands, &c., were blistered, and his clothes were burnt. She burnt her hands, which were blistered through touching them. Caroline Maskell, aged 10, of 7, Compton-place, Clerken well, proved that the prisoner offered her some of the vitriol, saying it was gin. The prisoner said his father was a water gilder, and his master a jeweller. He knew what the bottle coß tained. Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was a very important matter, as it was a felony. It was very much practised in the north, and there was a special act of Parliament to pro vide against it. He remanded the prisoner, and he was conveyed to prison.

TUESDAY, SEPT. 12.-To-day there was a very large attendance of dealers, many of them from across the border ; and, with the exception of sheep, stock of the various descriptions was unusually large, but generally speaking the quality was deficient, first-class cattle espe cially having been picked up in the districts before get ting to market. The long drought having materially affected pasturage and the turnip crop, and the late high price of corn having tempted farmers to tear up much of their grass grounds, dealers in store cattle ope rated with great caution. For sheep the market continued to evince the same languid tone which characterised the latter half of the previous day. Some ewes changed hands at 17s. 6d., a similar article to which brought 225. at the correspond ing market of last year, but few transactions took place either in ewes or wedders, and those without any im provement in the rates of the foregoing day, and late in the afternoon a good many lots remained on the ground unsold. Still there seemed little disposition on the part of holders to force sales by lowering their pretensions. The stock of Highland cattle was very large, and there was a good deal of animation. A considerable business was done at prices not remunerative to holders, many of whom had stocked at high prices, and were shy. We note a few of the sales. Mr. Alex. Duncan, of Aber deenshire, sold a lot of stirks at from 3/. 15s. to 4/. 10s., a lot of two year old stots at from 51. to 71., and 40 three year olds at 101. 10s. Mr. E. Bain, from the same district, sold 40 two year olds at 61. 15s. Mr. Hope, of Newmains, bought 12 three-year cows, at 71. 15s. Mr. Vere D. Shorte, of Mount Rath, Ireland, bought 20 stirks at 4/. 155., and 80 two-year-olds at 61. 15s. Mr. D. M•Phail, of Mull, sold 20 stirks at 31. 12s. 6d., 22 two-year-old queys at 61. 10s., and 10 cows at 71. 108. Mr. Angus M'Phail sold 40 stirks at 4/. 7s. 6d., 10 two-year-old heifers at 81., 20 stot stirks at 3/. 10s., and 14 inferior stirks at 21. 17s. Mr. M'Donald, of Skye, sold 10 tows at 11/. ss. There were some good lots of Angusshire polled, and other stock, part of which brought for two or three year olds, from 10/.. to 151. Mr. Cowan, of Paisley, bought 19 four-year-old bullocks at 22/. 15E. from Mr. Train, of Glasgow, and offered 151. 7s. 6d. for a lot of three-year-olds, and 101. for a lot of High land queys, both of which were refused. Mr. Train, of Glasgow bought 12 four-yr-olds at 191. 15s. ; and Mr. Bell, of Glasgow, a lot of 20 four-yr-olds at 101. Mr. M`Gregor offered a lot of Fife-hire crosses, very large in size, at 251., but did not find a buyer at that figure. The stock of Irish cattle was large, and in average good condition, and the grown lots were picked up cleverly, but a great amount, especially of young stock, remained on the ground unsold in the afterpart of the day. Indicative of the price we may state that 6 two yr-old heifers fetched 9/. ss. Mr. Scott, of Dumbarton shire, bought 12 two-yr-old bullocks from Mr. Morrow, of Ireland, for 8/. The latter sold 20 two-yr-old etots to Mr. Anderson, of Edinburgh, for 11/. A few prime Angusshire yearlings fetched as high as 101., while an inferior class of Irish brought from 4/. to 51., and two yr-olds from 6/. to 8/. 131. was asked for three-yr-old stets and cows. Mr. Smith, of Edinburgh, sold three yr-olds at from 11/. to 12/., two-yr-olds from 91. to 10/., and stirks at from 51, 10s. to 7/. 7s. Mr. William Weir, of King-street, Glasgow, purchased from Mr. Dick 42 four-yr-old stots at 201., allowed to be the best lot on the ground. Mulch cows brought from 121. to 137., and Mr. Lid dell, of Denny, sold two of a superior description to Mr. Matthews, of Perth, for 171. Three lots of short-horned English calves were greatly admired, and found a ready market. The market for horses was brisk in the early part of the day, but it became slow, and towards the close there was neither in9lination to press sales nor to effect purchases. The display on the ground was good, among which ware some capital Irish, but these were under age for troop horses, else they would have likely been picked up for such. Good cart or draught horses sold at from 40/, to 50/. ; and Mr. M'Kinlay, of Glasgow, sold a pair of two•year-old draught mares for 801. Mr. M‘Gregor, of Callander, sold a carriage horse for 401. Other horses ranged from 101. up to the above quotations. Light saddle horses sold variously, with a good demand, at from 201. to 351. There were a good many Shetland and other fancy ponies forward offering at prices ranging from 71. to 151. ; and these too were brisk. On the whole, prices at the present tryst may be said generally to have receded nearly 15 per cent. from the corresponding tryst of last year. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. CUSTOM HOUSE, SEPT. 14.

DEANS, Registrar of Bank Returns. Inland Revenue, Somerset House, Sept. 9, 1854. 3,631 A Lille newspaper has the following, for the truth of which, however, we do not vouch :—" During the stay of Prince Albert at Boulogne, the Emperor and his Royal guest made frequent excursions. One day the Em peror and the Prince in plain clothes took a ride of some hours' duration with some persons in their suites. Break fast time having arrived, the illustrious personages en tered a public-house. On seeing them the innkeeper ex pressed his regret that he had nothing to offer them—a regiment, he said, had just passed, and bad purchased all his provisions. 'Never mind,' said the Emperor ; Give me a table —that will do ; and request the mayor of the commune to come to me.' Some minutes after the worthy magistrate, who had been at work in the fields, entered sans ceremonie. The unknown visitors had caused provisions to be spread from a van which ac companied them, and they cordially invited the mayor to breakfast with them. It was only at the end of the re past that the Emperor, after having inquired respecting all that concerned the commune, made himself known." Some months ago, when oats were at an unusually high figure, our city and suburban omnibus fares were raised about 25 per cept. The public considered the in crease reasonable under the circumstances, and the extra halfpenny or penny was paid without much grumbling. It is proper to state, however, that a disposition to com plain of the continuance of high fares is now widely pre valent ; and, looking at the present state of the corn markets, it would be well for our omnibus proprietors to consider whether the time for redeeming their pledge of returning, as soon as possible, to the old rates, has not fully arrived.-- Glasgow Citizen. POST-OFFICE ACCOUNTS. According to the report of the Post-office Commis sioners, they have caused most imp3rtant alterations to be made in the mode of keeping the Post-office accounts. In consequence of the Chancellor of the Exchequer hav ing determined that the gross receipts of the Post office should be paid into the Exchequer, and the ex penses of collection voted by Parliament, a careful esti mate of the latter is prepared and voted. This esti mate presents the various charges in as condensed a form as the great number of agents through whose instrumentality the service is conducted will admit of. The charges for conveying mails are paid direct from the Accountant-General's office; the salaries of postmasters, clerks, and letter carriers are paid out of the local receipts. In the Receiver and Accountant-general's office two cash-books are kept, one for revenue and the other for the Parliamentary grant, and these books are made to agree with the pass-books of the Bank of England. The audit commissioners are now furnished with monthly accounts, which was never done before. Every postmaster in the kingdom sends to the General Post-office weekly statements of receipts and payments, accompanied by vouchers for each. The whole of these accounts are collected and condensed previous to their contents being passed through the journal and ledger. This collection and condensation of the accounts give every facility for ascertaining the punctuality of remittances, stocks of stamps, and ba lances of postmasters. The accounts of foreign post masters are rendered monthly direct from vouchers for each item of revenue and expenditure. All postings in the Post-office Accountant-General's office are now monthly instead of quarterly, as heretofore. Postmasters are debt Ors to revenue for revenue charges and receipts, and creditors fair remittances and charges of collection. Formerly the Receiver-General of the Post-office was the treasurer of the Post-office. He held his office by patent under the Privy Seal, and gave security for 12,0001. His income was 1,0001. a year, and he ap pointed his own clerks, nineteen in number. The late Receiver was Mr. Thomas Young, the well-known pri vate secretary to Lord Melbourne during the passing of the Reform Bill. The Receiver-Generalship, as a dis tinct office, is now abolished. The Postmaster-General is held responsible for the proper conduct of the busi ness of the united department of that of receiver and Accountant General, for the due collection of revenue, and for the proper application of the vote of Parliament to the expenses of management. Two distinct accounts are kept, one of the gross revenue, the other of the appli cation of the grant for the expenses of collection ; and two corresponding cash accounts are opened with the Bank of England. The business of the Receiver and Accountant-General's department is divided into three branches, viz., cash, ex -mining, and book-keeping. The Postmaster-General grants two deputations, one to the cashier, the other to the examiner, to sign all &aka on the Bank of England, and to endorse bills. All cheques are signed by the cashier, and countersigned by the chief examiner. The cheque books contain 100 cheques with counterfoils, numbered in a continued series. The blank cheque-books are in the custody of the Receiver and Accountant-General, and are issued to the cashier as re quired. At a certain hour at the close of each day the cashier sends in his lists of receipts and payments, with vouchers and cheque book, to the chief examiner, who examines them and passes the lists to the principal book keeper and returns the cheque book to the cashier. The revenue of the Post-office is about 2,500,0001. sterling ; the expenses of collection about 1,500,000/. The charges for conveying mails by foreign steam-packets is not in cluded in the Post-office expenditure, nor is the income derived from newspaper stamps included in Post-office revenue. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL.—Mr. Martin Coon, jun., an artist, is the employ of his father, who carries on the business of a lithographer, at 15, Cheapside, was summoned be fore Alderman Muggeridge, under the Aggravated Assaults Act, for assaulting Jane Lordan, a servant in the employ of Mr. Coon, sen. Mr. Wontner appeared for the complainant, and stated that Mr. Coon had taken his family out of town lately, and during his absence had left the defendant (his son) in charge of the house, since which the complainant had been subjected to great annoyance from the defendant, who, on one occasion, about a fortnight ago, wa'ched 143 opportunity, and when complainant was retiring to bed he exposed himself on the stairs before her in a state of perfect nudity. On Sunday night last defendant came home with a Mr. Sharpe, with whom his father had forbidden him to associate, and required complainant to get them a hot supper. Having been in bed some tans she refused to get up, and told them as there was only bread and cheese in the house they could / get that themselves. Defendant then put his head in at the window to watch her undressing, after letting them in, and she expostulated with him on the impropriety of his conduct, but, notwithstanding her previous complaints to Mrs. Coon, the defendant continued to annoy her, and on Monday afternoon committed a violent assault upon her, for which offence the present summons was obtained. The complainant, having been sworn , said she had been nearly nine years in Mr. Coon's employ, and on Friday last the family went to Brighton and did not re turn until yesterday morning. On Sunday night, about half-past 11 o'clock, the defendant came home with Mr. Sharpe, and she got up and let them in. They desired her to get them something hot for supper ; but as there was nothing but bread and cheese, she said perhaps they would get that for themselves. She went to bed, and locked her door ; and the defendant, hearing her do so, called out to her not to double lock it. While she was undressing, the defendant put his head through the window com municating with the kitchen and her room ; but, upon her threatening to throw water over him, he left. She complained in the morning to Mr. Coon's apprentice, who said he would protect her from the prisoner's insult ing conduct. About 5 o'clock on Monday afternoon the defendant came into the kitchen, and called her a Some angry words ensued between them, and he struck her on the eye. She pulled his hair in the struggle that followed, and the prisoner then flung her violently against the dresser, and ran away. Her screams alarmed the errand-boy, and he called in an of f icer. Cross-examined by defendant—She had never had strange men sleeping with her. She did not tear de fendant's hair before he struck her. Re-examined by the Court—The defendant had often taken liberties with her, and she had complained to his mother ; but she never gave him any encouragement. Robert Cousins, the errand-boy, said he heard a heavy fall in the kitchen on Monday afternoon, and on hearing the complainant's screams he brought in a policeman. The complainant said her back was very much hurt in the fall, and her eye was swollen and black from the blow the defendant gave her. Mr. Wontner said this was the case for the corn. plainant. The defendant then called Frederick Sharpe, who said he was clerk to his father, at 49, Aldermanbury. He went home with the defend ant on Sunday night, and on their way home defendant informed him of his suspicions that the complainant was in the habit of admitting strange men to her bed of a night. When they got in they heard whispering in com plainant's bedroom, and defendant's object in looking through the window was to ascertain who was in the room besides the complainant, but it was so dark he could see nothing, although he felt satisfied his suspicions were correct. Cross-examined by Mr. Wontner—He slept at defen dant's house that night. The defendant had not been forbidden to associate with him ; but Mrs. Coon had told witness's sister that it was desirable the acquaint ance should be broken off. Ho had not kept defendant out at night. The defendant and he had occasionally stayed out all night, and Witness considered himself jus tified in doing so if he liked. Alderman Muggeridge asked witness if he was sure he heard whispering in complainant's bedroom ? Witness said he heard a noise, which he believed was a whispered conversation between two parties. • Alderman Muggeridge said, if witness only believed he heard whispering, and could not speak positively, his evidence was of very little service. The defendant said, as the house was left in his charge by his father, he did not wish to have it used as a bad 1 ou.e, and therefore took the precaution complained of to ascertain the fact ; and, if his suspicions proved true, to turn all the parties out. He had repeatedly known the compl a i nan t t o h ave men s l eeping w i t h h er, an d h ai l s Duff,ela.young man in his father's employ, of the name of in bed with her • but having a great respect for her on account of the number of years she had been in the h ouse, he said nothing about it to any one else ; but on the day i n questio n th e comp l a i nant, D u ff , an d a per son of th e name of p°gg ' in Mr. Coo n ' s em pl o y, b e h ave d towards hi m i n such a manner as to ma k e hi m f ee l i n danger, and wh en the away quarrel in th e kit c h en t oo k p l ace he merely pushed herfrom him, and th a t was a ll.
