ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD CIRCUIT.—GLOUCESTER, APRIL 6. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Commissioner Gurney, THE SMYTH FOGREBY CASE. The trial of Richard Hugh Smyth, alias Thomas Provis, occupied two days. The charges against him were that he had feloniously forged a certain codicil to the will of Sir Hugh Smyth, Bart., with intent to de fraud, and that he had uttered the said forgery. There was another indictment for perjury, committed on the trial of " Smyth v. Smyth," at the last Gloucestershire Assizes. After a great mass of evidence had been gone into, the prisoner was found guilty of forging and uttering the deeds, and, upon being called up for sentence, snivelled for mercy on account of his wife (a young creature as beautiful as an angel) and his four small children. The learned Judge expressed his concurrence in the verdict of the jury, who would have found it impossible to come to any other conclusion than that at which they had , arrived ; and remarking upon the enormity of the prisoner's ofence, sentenced him to be transported for 20 years. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. Stephen Frend, customs officer, said—l was sleeping in the next berth to Brown's, in the fore cabin of the Albion, and I was awoke by a scuffling on deck. I went up, and saw the prisoner in charge of a sailor belonging to the boat, a n d I a l so saw the carpet bags standing against the companion, and Brown recovering his coat from the water. One of the carpet bags belonged to me and contains articles of dress, &c. The prisoner was committed for trial. GIIILDHALL.—George G arr ett was brought np by Sergeant T r i m before Aldermen Finnis, Sir Chapman Marshall, and Wilson, charged with stealing the moneys of his master, under the following circumstances : Mr. Buchanan appeared for the prosecution. John Honeysett said—l am in partnership with Thos. Clark, and carry on the business of coal dealers at 'lO6, Fetter-lane. The prisoner was in my service as carman. I was in the habit of giving him money from time to time to purchase coals with on my account. On the 16th of January last I gave him 21. and directions to get one ton of the best coals from the wharf of Messrs. Neale and Co., of Upper Ground-street, Blackfriars. The coals he brought were only seconds, but the bill and receipt were for the amount I gave him for the best coals. Alderman Finnis—How did you know they were se conds ? Witness —I knew the quality was inferior. I sent him again to the same wharf on that day for two tons of the best coals, and gave him 4/., but these coals I found were the sam e qua li ty as t h e ot h ers , a nd told him they were very bad. His reply was that they had no better at the wharf. The receipt he brought back was for two tons at 41. On the 17th of the same month I sent him for two tons, and gave him 41., and later in the day for one ton, and gave him 21. 4s. In both cases he brought back seconds coals instead of best, and bills and receipts for the amounts I gave him. Mr. Buchanan said—There are a great many other cases, but I will not trouble your worship with them seriatim, as they are not necessary. Alderman Wilson—How many receipts are there that you have not evidence of ? Mr. Buchanan—There are about a dozen, sir. James Neale said—l am a partner in the firm of Neale, Rolls, and Savage, coal merchants, of Upper Ground-street, Blackfriars. On the 16th of January, the prisoner paid 1/. 18s. for one ton of coals for Clark, and on the same day 31. 16s. for two tons ; on the 17th of Jan., 31. 16s. for two tons, and 21. ls. for one ton. Mr. Buchanan—ls it customary to give a receipt for one sum and receive another ?—Witness—Not at our wharf. In all the cases mentioned seconds coals have been supplied, but they have not been called best in the bills. Mr. Buchanan—How do you account for the differ ence between the amount actually paid and the receipt —Witness—We have a ticket in the office stating what coals are being worked, and by the side of it a marked list indicating the market prices of the day, and next to that list is the certificate of the barge in which the coals may be seen and examined, and we charge 2s. upon the price in the list. When the prisoner came to the wharf the first time, I saw him. .He wished me to call the coals by a different name and at a higher price in the bill, so that his master might show it to his customers. I told him he ought to have a vendor's ticket, and gave him some, so that his master might fill up the price him self. He said they would not do, and I then made out the bill for a higher price, but I did not describe the coal as of a different quality. Alderman Finnis—Was the price in your invoice the same as for best coals ?—Witness—No, sir ; it was 2s. or 3s. under the best price. Alderman Finnis--Had you any coals on the wharf at the price you charged in your invoice ?—Witness—Yes, sir ; we had some seconds at that price. The prisoner represented that his master had only the carting to do for the person the coals were for ; and as he should have to give credit, it would not pay him, so he wanted the bills made out at a higher price to show his customer. This occurred only once to my knowledge. Mr. Buchanan—Then you assisted Mr. Honeysett, as you believed, to deceive his customers ?—Witness—Yes, sir. Mr. Buchanan—Now is not this practice adopted with other people ?—Witness—No, sir ; I believe this is an isolated case. I have known instances of persons order ing a quantity of coals, and having a guinea charged - upon the amount of the bill. Mr. Buchanan—Then, in making out these bills, you were aware you were aiding the prisoner or his master to be dishonest to some person ? Witness—Why yes, sir. That is, I knew, from the prisoner's statement, that he wanted the bills so made out to deceive his customers, so that he might get a profit out of the coals • but when Mr. Honeysett came to me, and inquired whether the prisoner had been paying one price for coals and getting receipts for another, I told hira the prisoner had done so in a great many instances, and gave him every facility. James Jordan said—l am wharf clerk to Messrs. Neale and Co. I know the prisoner, and have served him with coals. I did so on the 16th and 17th of Jan nary last. He said his master was very badly paid, and wished me to put 2s. extra on the price in the bill, and I did so. The coals supplied were Northumberlands, the commonest coals we had on the wharf. Mr. Buchanan—ls it a common practice for servants to make such requests ? Witness—l have frequently had such requests made to me, and have afterwards found they proceeded from the masters. Mr. Buchanan—Did you ever take the trouble to see Mr. Honeysett, and inquire if it was his wish ? Witness —No, sir. I did not think it necessary, having had a great many applications of the kind. Alderman Finnis—Are these requests ever made by the principals themselves, or are they always made through the servants ! Witness—Generally by the servants, but I have had similar applications from the principals. Alderman Finnis—This is a clear case of larceny against the prisoner with regard to the coals from Neale's-wharf. Do you purpose, Mr. Buchanan, to go into any of the cases connected with Dickins'-wharf ? Mr. Buchanan—l don't think it will be necessary to go into any other cases here. The prisoner will be com mitted, and I shall bring forward the cases in which Dickins is concerned at the trial. The prisoner, who said h e should not h ave b een guilty of the offence he was charged with if he had been paid more than 14s. per week to keep a wife and family of children b es id es himself, was then remanded for the depositions to be transcribed preparatory to his being fully committed for trial. LAMBETH. —Mr. Ja Tuoter a middle-aged man of respectable app earance , a responsible situ a ti on in the extensive manufactory of Messrs. Field, wax-chandlers and oil men , 36, U pper at Marsh, Lambeth, was placed the bar before the Hon. G. C. moneys of his employersn on a charge of e m b ezzling 1,0611., the Mr. John Kingsford Fieldd aeda carriedthat he was i n n . o n th e partnership with John Lyon Field, business of wax - chandler with himat lio Marsh, Lambeth. The prisoner had been in* 36, Upp er their em ployment in various capacities for fourteen years used to be paid by salary until about six months s'• and when, to stimulate his exertions, himself and his partner had agreed to pay him on commission, guaranteeing him at the same time that he should g et 2001. per -an num, The prisoner conducted the town trade up to Wednesday last, but on Tuesday his accounts were exa mined, and it was found that he had been receiving sums of money on their account, for which he had not ac counted. In consequence of this discovery he (Mr. Field) called the p r i s oner into his room on that morning, and told hi m h e had made the discovery that he had been in the habit of receiving money on their account, which he knew it to be his duty to have paid over to Mr. Holland, the cashier and that he had not done so. The prisoner put his hand to his head, and said he was sorry to admit i t was so. He (Mr, Fi e ld) upon this told him he had been very ungrateful, but at the same time said he did not wi s h him- to say one word in explana tion. Mr. Norton—You did not offer any promise to the prisoner ? Mr. Field—Certainly not. I held out neither promise nor threat ; on the contrary, I told him I should give him in charge. It was the prisoner's duty to have en tered in the book produced all the moneys received by him ou account of the firm, at any rate within two or three dug ; and also to make out a regular statement of , MANSION - HOUSE.—Frederick Sh,ato was charged before Alderman Hunter with having robbed two officers of the customs. Charles Brown officer of customs, said—l sleep en board the vessels I have charge of. This morning, be tween 3 and 4 o ' c l oc k, I was m a bed berth of the fore cabin on board a steam-vessel, called the Albion, lying at Fresh-wharf, London-bridge, and I was awoke by some one pressing on my chest, and I heard some footsteps, and immediately jumped out of bed. I then saw a man on the steps of the fore cabin going on deck, and I followed, collared him, and found him to be the prisoner. He had in his hand my coat, which he instantly hove overboard. I asked him why he did that, and he replied that he had had nothing in his ' hand, and I made an alarm to my brother officer on deck, and likewise called for the police, and gave him in charge. I got my coat, which contained my books and keys, out of the water. I never knew the prisoner before. After I had recovered my coat, I found on deck, near to tlft place in which I saw the prisoner, a carpet bag belonging to me, and containing articles of dress, and books and papers. The carpet bag, when I went to bed, was in the cabin, from which I saw the pri soner run. I saw another carpet bag alongside of mine when I was on deck. That belonged to my brother officer. the goods sold, but this he has not done since October, 1852, The gross amount in the statement of accounts produced was 1,061/., but from this the prisoner would be entitled to a commission. In conclusion, Mr. Field requested a remand to make a further and more careful examination of the accounts, and his request—the pri soner having declined to offer anything in defence—was complied with. FREE TRADE FREEHOLD LAND SOCIETY. Last evening a public meeting of the shareholders dsociety was held at th e London of B t s i h s o fl p o s u g r a ih t s e- i s ng t reet, for the purp ose o f balloting for thirty rights to choose land on the attrac tive estates they now possessed. Among the gentleme n p r esent we observed Thomas Colley Grattan, Esq., Major-General Sir W. R. Clayton, Bart., John Lloyd Clayton, Esq., R.N., Sir H. W. Barron, Edmund Grattan, Esq., Jenkin Jones, Esq., Captain John Bishop-Culpeper, Frederick West, Esq., Lieutenant- Colonel Starr, T. C. Un win, Esq., T. H. Burrell, Esq., W. Richmond, Esq., Henry E. Canney, Esq., F. A. Daviss, Lieutenant-Colonel Dickson, and a number of other highly influential gentlemen. The chair was taken, shortly before 8 o'clock, by THOMAS COLLEY GRATTAN, Esq., who, in opening the proceedings of the evening, said the occasion of their meeting that evening was to carry out one of the practi cal objects of the society, namely, to ballot for thirty rights to choose land, and also to pass a few short reso tions. It was the intention of the society to hold a ballot meeting monthly until the accumulation of shares compelled them to hold similar meetings more frequently. We had balloted for eighty shares, and we had also the pleasure of having one of our estates allotted, or nearly so. This fact of itself was one of exceeding gratification at a moment such as the present, a moment so fraught with excitement, a moment when all the world is talking of war, of fleets and armies moving, and of hostile en counters. Freehold land societies at the present time had arrived at a point of great success, a point that their most sanguine advocates never dreamt of. The pro ceedings that night gave ample proof, if proof were wanting, of the excitement that existed, and it might be accounted for by the strong interest created by their proceedings partaking in some measure of the nature of a lottery, or playing at some delightful game of hazard, for such it most truly was. But the occasion of the allot ment of the estate at Anerley showed the strong enthu siasm manifested by the public, an enthusiasm he could compare to nothing but the excitement that would be produced by the brave Sir Charles Napier and his gal lant companions on taking up their allotments among the Russian fleet, or under the batteries of Cronstadt. (Loud cheers and laughter.) The same pleasing excitement he anticipated would occur when they allotted their Camberwell estate. He would not detain the meeting longer, but call upon their secretary to address them, after that the surveyor would make a few remarks, they would then appoint screw-steamers—(loud laughter, and cheers)—he begged pardon, he meaet scrutineers— (laughter)—and th e pl eas i ng an d interesting portion of the business would be proceeded with. The chairman then resumed his seat amid loud cheers. Mr. SMITH then came forward and entered at length into the various particulars connected with the society. He dwelt very forcibly upon the success they had attained, and also on several points in which this society differed from others ; also the great advantages, both morally, politically, and socially, that were to be derived from freehold land societies. He concluded a very ex• cellent discourse by stating that he should feel a pleasure in answering the questions of any gentleman. Mr. VIGERS, the surveyor, in addressing the meeting, gave a very animated description of the various estates possessed by the society, and said that half the Camber. well estate would soon be in their hands, and shortly after the time the vendor gave up the land, in June, they would be ready to proceed with its allotment. Captain J. BISHOP-CULPEPER, in moving the first re solution, said he should take his cue from the chairman and not detain the meeting by any very lengthened re marks. He assured the meeting that he little expected to be called upon to move the resolution with which he had been entrusted. He had expected that a gentleman of renown would have been present that evening to have done so. The resolution he held in his hand was ex ceedingly expressive. There could be no question that freehold land societies were exceedingly advantageous to the careful and frugal man, for by their aid he was en abled, by saving his eighteenpence a-week, to become the owner of a piece of land, which otherwise he could not obtain, to become a freeholder, and to take his place beside the proudest in this great and mighty country. (Loud cheers.) The resolution was—" That freehold land societies recommend themselves to all classes of the community as the most secure of investments, elevating the humblest individual in the social and political scale, and enabling him by easy means to become a possessor of a stake in the country —a freehold and a home." Mr. GoanoN had great pleasure in seconding the re solution. The CHAmMAN then put the resolution to the meet ing and declared it carried unanimously. Dr. ZI3I3fERMAN, in moving the second resolution, dwelt very effectively upon the difference of tenure of land in England and on the Continent, and also on the legal expenses. Here in England, he said, you had to pay according to the length of the document ; on the Continent you only paid what was its value. (Laughter.) The resolution was to the effect that the wide spread ing of freehold land societies proved the value and great benefit that would be derived by their further extension. Lieut.-Colonel DICKSON said it afforded him much pleasure to second such a resolution. He heartily and entirely concurred in it. The more societies there were, the more likely was the public to find out the good ones ; and when they had done so there could be no question but they would join the best. The prosperity their society had attained was to him a source of the greatest pleasure, and he felt sure that in a very short time it would stand forth without an equal. The resolution was then put from the chair and car ried unanimously. Lieut.-Colonel STARE then, in very eloquent terms, moved the next resolution. He paid a very high tribute of praise to the secretary, the surveyors, the solicitors, and other officers of the society, adding that, however much the executive committee might exert themselves, prosperity could not be obtained unless their exertions were seconded by the gentlemen he had mentioned. In asking the support of the public to a freehold land society, the public naturally wished to know on what grounds its support was demanded. The public was a veryjnquisi tive individual—it was an Argus-eyed individual—and before it committed itself to the support of any institu tion, it made the most strict and searching inquiry into the standing and position of the undertaking. Such an in quiry, he felt happy to say, was all they desired, feeling convinced that by such means their present prosperity would be largely increased. (Loud cheers.) The reso lution was to the following effect :—" That the now fully recognised and appreciated principles of the Free Trade Freehold Land Society leave no doubt as to its ultimate success, and warrant the continued and energetic sup port of the public at large." (Loud cheers.) Mr. JENKIN JONES very briefly but pointedly seconded the resolution. The CHAIRMAN put the resolution to the meeting, and declared it carried unanimously. _ _ The ballot-wheel having been opened by the scrutineers, and the new shares added, the following numbers were drawn : 1,139,* 1,140,* 1,141,* 2,189, 273, 432, 781, 2,695, 2,056, 2,621, 2,565, 1,736, 2,041, 1,880, 1,513, 1,284, 2,526, 1,275, 1,927, 2,652, 540, 400, 912, 1,970, 3,087, 716, 2,888, 1,720, 407,* 987,* 1,007* — *Grouped. A. vote of thanks having been given to the chairman, and briefly acknowledged, the proceedings terminated. EXECUTION OF JOHN LLOYD FOR THE MURDER AT NESCLIFF: Yesterday (Friday) at 12 o'clock, John Lloyd was executed in front of the gaol at Shrewsbury, in the pre sence of several thousand spectators, for the murder of John Gittins, blacksmith, at the village of Nescliff, eight miles from Shrewsbury, o n th e 28th of February last. Two petitions were forwarded to the Secretary of State, one from Shrewsbury, and the other from Nescliff and the neighbourhood, praying for a commutation of the wretched man's sentence, and in reply the reverend gen tleman who prepared them has received the following answer : hall, A 4, 1854. " Sir,--I am direct e d by Viscoun Wh t Palmersto p n ril to acknow ledge the receipt of your letters forwarding memorials on behalf of John Lloyd, now under sentence of death for murder in the gaol at Shrewsbury, and I am to acquaint you that after a careful consideration 'of the circumstances his lordship regrets that he can see no sufficient ground for advising any interference with the due course of law in this case.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, "H. WADDINGTON. "The Rev. J. Thomas, Belle Vue, Shrewsbury." The memorial was also transmitted, through the High Sheriff, to the Home Secretary, from the glergy of Shrewsbury, praying that the execution might take place at eight instead of 12 o'clock, with the view of preventing accidents from the overcrowding of the area in front of the gaol, but that was not acceded to. ABDim Sruirrs.—Yesterday a return, obtained by Colonel Dunne, showed the consumption of ardent spirits. Last year, as far as relates to the Customs, the consumption in Great Britain was 4,931,639 gallons ; and as far as relates to the inland revenue, 16,884,9 5 5 gallons ; whilst in Ireland in 1853 the consumption was 211,685 gallons as to the Customs, and 8,136,362 as re lated to the inland revenue. CHARGES AGAINST A CAVALRY OFFICER.—A circum stance recently occurred in Dublin which has excited quite a sensation in military circles. It appears that a female of bad repute gave information to the police that a gold watch had been stolen from her residence, while she had no suspicion of the thief. The detectives soon discovered the article in the shop of a dealer, who gave the name of the person from whom ho obtained it. The seller, in his turn, alleged that he purcased the watch from Mr. Kelly, 11th Hussars, for the sum of 31. When this officer was informed of the serious charge against him, he at once admitted having taken the watch from one of the French -street ladies, partly as a joke, and partly for ill -requited favours conferred upon her. The watch lay openly for some days upon his dressing-table, when a Jew called upon him to offer ready money in ex change for jewels, bullion, bills, and other disposable security. The watch was deemed by the Israelite a marketable commodity. When the female heard that a felonious charge was made against her quondam admirer she refused to prosecute him. The facts of the case were then reported to the military authorities. Mr. Kelly was placed under arrest on his parole, and a court mar tial ordered for his trial, but the misguided young man fled the country to escape the ordeal. He is the son of a gentleman of extensive possessions and respectable family in this country.—. Limerick Chronicle. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 8, 1854. ALLEGED MURDER. THE MUSIC COURT AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE. A new court, appropriated to the exhibition of musi cal instruments, has sprung into prominent notice at the Crystal Palace. It is the first of a series which occupy the space to the right of the main avenue from the grand, or Queen's entrance. When perfectly finished the foreground will be occupied with shrubs and exotics, and the iron columns clothed from top to bottom with pendant creepers. It is intended that the court shall have the appearance, not so much of a musical repository as of a temple dedicated to musical genius—a tribute of admiration to those master minds who have immortalised themselves in their compositions. The figures and ornaments which constitute so impor tant a portion of the beauty of the design are now in course of modelling at the studio of Mr. John Thomas. The plan of the court is a parallelogram, 76 feet long by 46 -feet wide, affording ample space for the advanta geous display of pianofortes, harmoniums, harps, &c., fitted up on the outside with glazed sashes. Within these recesses it is intended to place ornamental cases with glass shelves upon which the exhibitors will depo sit their various instruments, which are safely pro tected from dust and injury, and of which an uninter rupted view is thus secured from within and without the court. The elevation of the end facing the Queen's entrance is intended by its ornamentation to typify sacred music. It presents an arcade of six circular headed openings, flanked at the angles by broad pilasters with three quarters columns of a suitable composite design, part of the shafts being reeded with organ pipes, terminating in moulded nichings. Two of these openings form doorways, and are surmounted by niches containing alto-relievo figures of Miriam and David playing on instruments. Under the former figure is they inscription "Sing ye to the Lord, for he has triumphed gloriously." And under David, " Yea, on the harp will I praise thee, 0 my God." The inside elevations are highly decorated, and with ornaments of a strictly musical character. The large entrance arches are surmounted by niches con taining alto-relievo figures. Above the one is that of St. Cecilia, while above the oth er i s t h at of Erato • each figure having underneath appropriate lines from Dryden and Collins. All the remaining openings aro surmounted by busts of the most cele brated English and foreign composers 24 in number, with their names written above. Between each bust are three-quarter ornamented columns, seated on °or - bels, the mouldings of which take up with the im posts mouldings of the arches. Over all the columns are figures of children in easy and graceful attitudes, play ing on various instruments. In the frieze between the children are panels, in which are introduced in bas relief various musical instruments, interlaced with ornamental and appropriate foliage. The whole is surmounted with a bold and elegant cove, with richly-ornamented shields and lyres of various designs introduced at intervals. A n ornamental cornice runs round the top. The principal portions of the court will be painted light stone colour, the sculpture white, the background of busts and panels, gilded, and the other parts slightly tinted, so as to pro duce a subdued and chaste effect. It is intended to cover the whole court with a canopied awning of blue and white bunting, in order to prevent the rays of the sun in any way injuring the various articles exhibited. Special attention also is to be paid to the ventilation, as in the Exhibition of 1851, and also in the Dublin Exhibition, it was found that the cold and damp proved injurious to many of the instruments, and especially to the pianos. Experience has therefore impressed upon the directors the necessity of pre serving an equable temperature, and with so many miles of water pipe under the building at their disposal this will donbtless be easily accomplished. The band permanently engaged by the company will be entirely composed of brass instruments, the number of performers being upwards of 60. The gentleman ap pointed to the office of musical director is Mr. Schallehn, whose experience and ability fully entitle him to the po sition. The exclusion of all other than brass instruments is undoubtedly judicious, especially as the efforts of Mr. Schallehn to secure variety of tone by a selection of newly-invented instruments are likely to be successful. The engagements commence on the Ist of May, from which time the rehearsals will be continued. It is at present proposed that the band shall play for about three hours each day. An orchestra will probably be erected , for it in the park, and at other times some suitable posi tion in the building will be selected for its performance. Altogether the arrangements connected with the musical department are likely to little less attractive than , those of the other fine arts courts, not even excepting the Alhambra of Owen Jones or Ferguson's ancient Nineveh. MURDER AT COLWALL.-At Hereford a man of the name of Francis Jones, and Mary Hodges, have been committed for the murder of Mary Ann Jones, the wife of the male prisoner. The poor woman had become in sane, and the evidence disclosed a systematic course of starvation and ill-treatment on the part of the prisoners. The following was the medical testimony :—Mr. Wm. Griffin, surgeon, of Ledbury, deposed—l did not attend the deceased during her life, but I have by direction of the coroner, in conjunction with Mr. Terry, of Hereford, made a post mortem examination of the body. Exter nally, I observed extreme emaciation. There were consi derable "led sores," extending all across the lower part of the body, which had gone on to ulceration and morti fication. Internally, the whole of the organs were healthy, excepting a slight adhesion of the lower part of the right lung to the chest, with considerable congestion of the lower part. There was a slight softening on the left side of the base of the brain. On removing the scalp, I ob served considerable extravasation of blood on the left side. Above the left ear there was a discolouration of the skin of the scalp externally, corresponding with the internal extravasation, and a slight oozing of blood through the suture of the skull at the posterior and right side of the head. There was a small quantity of food in the stomach, about half a pint apparently of gruel or half-digested bread, but nothing in the intestines, from the stomach to the large bowel, which contained a small quantity of matter. The injury to the head must have been caused by some violence in life. I came to the conclusion from the extreme emaciation of the corpse, that such an injury could not have been self-inflicted by the deceased during life. I have no doubt the effect of the blow on the head, added to her enfeebled state of health, produced death. Ido not think the blow on the head was given by a man's fist. A stick would be more likely to have produced the injury. I think deceased could not have sustained such an injury by falling down against the floor or out of bed. She was not capable, in my opinion, of turning in bed, and therefore not capable of inflicting any injury on herself. Mr. George Robert Terry, surgeon, who as sisted the last witness, said, I fully and entirely agree with Mr. Griffin, and corroborate him in all that he has said. The jury were not long in deliberating on their verdict. It is understood that the prisoners will not be taken before magistrates in petty sessions, but will be arraigned on the coroner's inquisition. [ADVERTISEMENT.] - - Holloway's Ointment and Pills the most effectual remedies for Gout and Rheumatism. —Extract of a letter from Mr. Thomas Wyborn, drug gist, Eton, dated April 26, 1852:—" To Professor Hol loway. case has lately come under my notice which I think should be publicly known. It is that of a poor man, who suffered so dreadfully from chronic rheumatism, that he lost the use of one side and en dured incessant pain. He was under different medical treatment, and at Westminster Hospital the faculty pronounced him incurable. However, this was not the case, for by the use of your ointment and pills, he has been restored to health and strength."—Sold by all druggists, and at Professor Holloway's Fiatablistanent, 244, Strand, London, Yesterday afternoon Mr. William Payne, City coroner proceeded, at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, with alength ened investigation of the circumstances attending the death of Mr. Francis Anderson, aged 44 years, a hair dresser of Bethnal-green, who died from injuries received at the hands of a man named W. Daley, a fur-dyer in the City-road, at an early hour on Tuesday morning last. Mrs. Agnes Andrews, a respectable married woman, deposed that about 1 o'clock on the morning of Tuesday last she was in company with the deceased, his nephew, witness's husband, and a Mrs. Porter, sister-in-law of deceased. They were in the City-road by the junction of the Old-street-road. Witness and Mrs. Porter were walking on the pavement, and deceased and the other two men were in the road playing about or dancing. Two females came along towards witness, and they went into the road and faced the three men. Before, however, a word was said on either side two men, a short man and a tall man, rushed from the pavement, where they had apparently been hiding, and the taller man struck Alfred Anderson (the nephew), and knocked him down, and then the same man hit deceased twice on the head, and knocked him down insensible. The two men then walked away with the two women, but they were followed by wit ness, who kept sight of them until she found a policeman, when the tall man was taken into custody, but the other escaped. Mr. Alfred Anderson, the nephew of the de ceased, gave corroborative testimony, and said in addi tion that when the tall man had struck witness, he turned round and said, " Oh, we have made a mis take." Did not know to whom he referred. The man then turned round and struck the deceased, who was knocked down, and bled profusely from the nose and mouth. Did not see a stick or any weapon in the man's hand. Did not know the parties. Mrs. Eliza Porter, deceased's sister-in-law, who was also in company with the deceased on Tuesday evening, confirmed the above testimony. James Caffrey, 153 N, said he was on duty in the City-road when the first witness went up to him ; and, in consequence of what she said, he went into Baldwin-street and there apprehended the prisoner. The prisoner said he did not do it, and witness took him to where deceased was lying, and, on seeing him covered in blood, the man, clasping his hands together, exclaimed, "Oh ! my God, I never did that." He also said, " Come on, and get a doctor, I can't stand it." He was taken to the station-house, where he was dread fully agitated ; and, on a surgeon saying that the de ceased would die, the prisoner buried his face in his hands and sighed heavily. When the doctor said deceased was to be taken to the hospital, prisoner offered to pay the cab hire. Witness had known prisoner ten or eleven years ; he was the associate of thieves. His name was William Daley, alias Patsey Daley. Witness told prisoner that if deceased died he would be tried for murder, and prisoner said, " Good God, you don't say so ; I did not intend to do it," or something to that effect. The Coroner then summed up, and pointed out to the jury the difference between the crime of murder and manslaughter. The jury at once returned a verdict of manslaughter against William Daley, and the wit nesses were bound over to prosecute. The inquiry then terminated. SPORTING INTELUGENCE.
