M.s.,:eiza,ev held that they were so, and that there ought to have been a separate indictment for each. The LOUD CHANCELLOR then left the Woolsack, re questing Mr. Kelly to suspend his argument for a short time, as he (the Lord Chancellor) was obliged to leave the House in consequence of a communication which he had just received. . On She Chancellor's return, liemorresumedee-He said that he was willing that this case should be subjected to every possible test that could be imagined, and therefore he would venture to remind their Lordships that the very essence of criminal conspiracy was the existence of one common object—one object common to all— one object to which all and each were party, in which all and each were implicated. But if a less number of those engaged in a conspiracy chose to enter into another conspiracy, the latter object was surely not to be made common to both. Directly there was a conspiracy, say by three out of eight, and the object of the three proved to be different to the object of the eight ; it had to longer the incidents of the same conspiracy, and it never, either in law or in justice, could be dealt with as one conspiracy. But he (Mr. Kelly) would not deal vaguely with abstract points, but reduce the case to the most minute dimensions. Sup pose these eight persons—and he would pur sue the idea of the Lord Chancellor himself—suppose these eight persons to assemble at the same time, and in the same room, and agree to rob a garden—and that then three out of of the eight—the remainder dissenting—enter into a distinct and separate agreement to break into the house and murder the proprietor suppose (to put the case in the least favourable way) them to be actually round the same table, was that one conspiracy—or were there two conspiracies? The common object clearly was to rob the garden—not an innocent object certainly—but the atrocious object was the object of the second con spiracy, namely, to murder the inhabitants of the house. If that be one conspiracy, then was he (Mr. Kelly) most lamentably at fault in his view of the law. Could any one be so absurd as to suppose that evidence against the whole three, or one of the three, was to be evidence against those who had only undertaken to rob a garden ? They must be treated as perfectly distinct—as separate conspiracies—or every rule of law, of justice, and of common sense, would be most grossly violated. Again, there fore, he repeated that upon a count con: taining a charge of one crime, no person whatever could be convicted of two. He could not help calling the at tention of their Lordships to a case which recently oc curred at the Central Criminal Court, and the hearing of which was presided over by a judge who had the longest and the largest criminal experience of any one upon the bench The case was the one of larceny at Buckingham Palace, where a great variety of things had been stolen, the robbery extending over a very lengthened period of time. But that crime, thus extend ing over so long a period, was put into the indictment as one act of larceny alone, and the Learned Judge very properly instructed the jury that they must find the pri sonir guilty of one specific act of larceny and one only. He would ask them whether a number of persons in dicted for one crime could be convicted of three several and distinct offences ? The address to the jury'by Mr. Baron Rolfe on the trial of Mr. Fergus O'Connor and others bore strongly upon this point. That Learned Judge said, that in order to convict all or any of the defendants, they mnst convict them of one and the same conspiracy. But if they . found that some of the defen: dents had opposed any violence, and that others had used no violence, that one had proposed a voluntary absti nence from labour, they might convict them all, but on different counts ; those who had taken part in the violence would be convicted on the counts re lating to violence ; but those who stopped short of violence, on the other portions of the indict ment. He had supposed that certain parties had entered into a plan to rob a garden, and that a portion of them had entered into a conspiracy to murder the inhabitants of the House. He would ask whether that which took place on the same day in the same place would be one conspiracy, or would it be two conspiracies. No doubt that evidence against one of the eight persons to whom he had alluded, as to the conspiracy to rob the garden might might be evidence against the whole, but could it be contended that evidence against three of those eight, those three having conspired to murder the inhabitants of the house without the knowledge of the other five, was evidence against the whole eight. five of whom had agreed to rob the garden, but had never heard of the design. If on the trial a witness should be called to prove that one of those eight had committed a certain unlawful act, not at all with reference to the object which the eight had in view, but in reference to an act contemplated by three only, the other five having never heard of it, would that be evidence against all the five ? The judge would be bound to receive the evidence, but lie should caution the jury as to applying the evidence to that part of the case that related to the conspiracy of eight, because that evidence related only to another and different conspiracy, had a different object, and in furtherance of that different object confined to the three. His Learned Friend must contend that if persons are charged in the same indictment, eight with conspiring to do one thing, and three with conspiring to do another thing, in furtherance of which they were guilty of somewhat more criminality, would the evidence against them be admissable against the eight likewise ? It ' would be right to admit it if it was one and the same conspiracy, but he ventured to say it was an abuse of words to say that a conspiracy by eight persons to cause disaffection to the Queen's Gte vernment, was the same conspiracy as a conspiracy by three out of the eight to bring the tribuna ls of 1 the country into contempt, and though he .had so far adopted the suggestion thrown out that this might have taken place within the same cham ber, and at the same time, they must remember it was perfectly consistent with the finding of the jury, that the conspiracy of the three might have taken place on the Ist of January, ancUthe conspiracy of the eight had not taken place till the Ist of June probably. See then what the consequence was, if this was treated as one conspiracy—an act done by one of three persons who had entered into a conspiracy in January, that act being done in February, March, or April, would, according to this, be evidence against the eight who had never entered into a conspiracy till January. This was one of the many absurdities that would follow, if this was taken as one and the same conspiracy. A conspiracy was either an illegal agreement to obtain some lawful object by some unlawful means, or to obtain an unlawful object by any means whatever ; but one common object was still and always of the essence of conspiracy. The he would say with all confidence that an agreement to obtain one object was not the same thing as an agreement ' to obtain another and a different object. He would not embarrass the case by any technical illustrations, but he would suppose an agreement entered into at the same place, and signed at the same time by the parties in the same sheet of parchment. Still, he would ask, would this constitute one agreement or three? Supposing that upon the same sheet of paper eight persons agree to rob a garden, three of the eight agree to murder the inhabitants of a house, and seven of the eight agreed to rob another person on the highway, would it make any difference that these three agree ments were on the same sheet of paper, or entered into at the same time? Would it be one or three agreements? It was perfectly clear they were three agreements for three different purposes. To carry this a little further, he would suppose that three persons were indicted for a conspiracy to compass the Queen's death, and that five persons were indicted for a conspiracy to overawe the Legislature, and that the three were found guilty of high treason, and were pardoned by the Queen. If it were one conspiracy the party could not be in dicted over again if he had been acquitted of the charge of high treason or had received the Queen's pardon. In that case the party could not be in dicted again for the conspiracy to commit trea son. Suppose three of the parties had agreed together to compass the Queen's death, and four other parties in the same room, not knowing of this pre vious agreement between the three, agreed with them to do certain acts for the purpose of over awing the Legislature, could it be contended in such a case where three parties had agreed to do one thing, and those same three, with five others, had agreed to do a different thing, that it Has one and the same conspiracy? He would bring it to another test. Suppose the Sovereign had given the three a free pardon for the treason, would that free pardon also be a free pardon for the conspiracy with the five to overawe the Legislature? Here were eight persons charged with attempting to create disaffection in the army. Five were found not guilty. If it were one conspiracy they were improperly found not guilty, because three had been found guilty. Now, the same person could not be guilty and not guilty of one and the same conspiracy. That led him to the charge which loci been made:, o the jury. If this were one conspiracy, as soon as evidence had been given against all the de fendants, every act done by one was evidence against the whole. He would ask, would evidence against one of these persons who were proved to have been guilty of conspiring to spread disaffection in the army be admissible against the five, -when there was no evidence to convict them with being parties to that conspiracy ? Suppose eight agreed to do Nos. 1 and 2, seven to do Nos. 3 and 4, and three to do No.s—suppose evidence offered against the three on that charge, could that be admitted as evidence against the remaining five, on a charge of spreading disaffection against the Queen ? Would not the judge be bound to tell the jury that the acts done by the three, in furtherance of one conspiracy, were not admissable in evidence against the other five, who were charged with a different conspiracy ? The LORD CHANCELLOR—AII this was practicable, but difficult. Mr. KELLY—It was so. Learned and able judges had, in similar cases, separated the evidence which applied to one defendant from that which applied to another, but ho,used this argument to show that this difficulty would not result if one conspiracy only were charged. jt was because three different conspiracies were charged that it became necessary to discrimi nate the evidence. To try that question, let them suppose an, indictment framed so as to comprise the charges on the findings. By that indictment, eight persons w ould be charged with conspiring to do Nos. 1 and 2 ; seven, Nos. 3 and 4 ; and three to do No. 5. If evidence were offered affecting one of the parties to the last conspiracy, the Judge would have to discriminate between that evidence and evidence affecting the vvhole et' !he parties to the other conspiracy. But if they weie charged with one conspiracy, an ac e d one - by, one could be evidence against all. lint the ease in queation, the indictment charged only one , conspiracy, and the finding was for three conspiracies, He would suppose that any of the eight persons whose names appeared in this indictment were to be indicted over again for the matter contained in the first count, .~. J.,i .~ 1~ . those who had been found guilty of it would be found guilty of but one conspiracy, and it would then be autrefois conviction. If it was but one offence there was upon the same record conviction and acquittal ; so that if the party was indicted for that one offence, if he be indicted over again on that offence, what was he to do ? Was he to plead autrefois convict, or autrefois acquit ? That was the only way the matter could be met ; it would be a conviction of part of one offence, and an acquittal of another. He hoped if that was so, it would be defined, for he could not see what part of a conspiracy was. It was either one offence, or none at all : it could not be split into parts. A conspiracy to rob a garden and burn a house must be two offences, if he was found guilty of the one and acquitted of the other. Upon evidence being given of conspiracy, it must be with respect to one of several unlawful acts ; the party charged with the several might be convicted, but if that was so, he must be convicted, not of part, but of the whole crime, because the conspir acy was the crime, but it must be well described. They could not split an offence into parts ; and where a party was convicted of two offences, the indictment was wrong. They might subdivide a charge of this kind into a great many parts and convict on one or more of any one of those parts ; but directly they had convicted two or more of any one charge, the count was quite suffi cient. They could only convict persons of one offence under one charge. Upon an indictment for burglary, a man might be found guilty of burglary or larceny, but only for one offence. Ten men might be indicted for stealing ten horses, and a great variety of evidence affecting various per sons might be tendered—the whole ten might be convicted of stealing the ten horses. There were a hundred different con ceivable convictions under that one count, but still there could be but one conviction. The conviction must be fur one offence. . . The LORD CHANcELLott—Take the case of two parties, A and B, indicted for stealing two horses, A for stealing one, and B for stealing another. Mr. KELLY—That could not be ; the law would not :allow it. The cha, must be for one offence. rge Lord CAMPBELL said there was no doubt that one'count might be drawn. Mr. BELLY—Yes; but the practice was against it. The conviction must be under separate counts, each setting forth a separate offence. There is an indictment here of one charge for one conspiracy; under that the whole eight might be con victed of all the acts ; but they could not split up the charge of one offence into a great many offences. In order to warrant this finding, there ought to have been three separate counts. If these findings did not imply three several convictions, in what language could they be stated? He would venture to say that if his Learned Friends were to sit down to frame an indictment for every conspiracy to be found against these seven, eight, and three individuals, they would adopt the very language here held. Again, therefore, a difficulty presented itself. Now, the defendants could plead autrefois convict, or autretbis acquit. A man must either be convicted or ac quitted of the offence ; he denied that it was the language of the law to talk of a part of an offence. The charge here was for a conspiracy, and they must be either convicted or ac quitted ; they could not divide one offence into two or more parts. On this finding they ought to have been at once acquitted or convicted of the same charge. It will result, therefore, when these counts and the finding are carefully considered, that the grand jury having presented but one offence, one conspiracy to do several unlawful acts, certain of these defendants have been convicted of three con spiracies, which might have been at different times and different places, that might have been committed at intervals of a month from each other, and in which the parties to one offence might be totally ignorant of another. Certain of the defendants had in fact been found guilty of two more offences than that presented by the grand jury. They pleaded to one offence, and three offences were found against them. The petty jury were sworn to try one issue, and they had found no less than three issues against the defendants. Where would any precedents be found like this? In all the cases of conspiracy that had been tried of late years, he should be surprised if they could find one. Lord CAmPßELL—Assuming that the jury had found them guilty of more than was charged by the indictment, was any thing to be found in the books as to the effect of that finding? Mr. KELLY—No ; becausehe supposed the books presented no precedent for such a fact. The LORD CHANCELLOR—In your case, Mr. Kelly, the first finding is the whole ; yet you say " as to the residue," now there is no residue. _ _ • _ _ _ — Lord BRouollAm--And they say " the remainder of the residue." What do they mean by that? Mr. KELLY said that the fact was, the jury had found three offences where only one was charged, and the Court sen tenced the defendants according to that finding. How then could their Lordships say that the first finding included all the others ? How could they reject any one of the other averments of the verdict ? Per haps they might reject that part of the finding against Mr. John O'Connell, for which he had already suffered two months' imprisonment. He had referred to the direction of the Judge, which he must say was the ver reverse of the direction of Mr. Baron Rolfe, in the case of Mr.F. O'Connor. In the present Ease, the Judge charged directly for the finding of three conspiracies. The jury found accordingly, and sen tence was passed accordingly. Could their Lordships say, that in a trial at bar before the four judges, under such cir cumstances, the first finding alone was of any importance ? The LORD CmiNcELLoß—The judgment was given on the evidence. Lord CampnEtt—The Court could only look to the record, and apportion the sentence according to the number and amount of the conspiracies charged. The LORD CHA_NrcELLon—That would have nothing to do with the punishment. It does not practically import that, because found guilty on three counts, they would be punished for three conspiracies. But that does not signify much now. The question before us is not one of punishment, but one of error ; and if there is error, even though on your own sid, all we have to do is to reverse the sentence. If there is error, however technical it may be, you must have the benefit of it. It will not do to say the parties have suffered much. All you have to do is to show error. Mr. KELLY was obliged to his Lordship, and felt a strong conviction that he had done so, and could further do so—for it was clear that the traversers had been found guilty of a greater number of offences than the grand jury had directed them to be put upon their trial for. Here a man was con victed of two conspiracies as to which he had never been put upon his trial—as to which he had never pleaded—as to which the jury had no power to give an opinion. With re spect to the findings, they could not return one and reject another. They must stand together, or they must fall toge ther. Each taken respectively was good as a count—all taken together were good as counts—but on thew the parties were brought in guilty of too much. The LORD CHA-NCELLOR—YOII are now arrived, Mr. Kelly, at a very important part of your argument; and as we agreed to sit only until half-past three, and it is now that time, we will adjourn the further hearing of the case until ten o'clock on Monday morning.—Adjourned accordingly. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF SATURDAY. GLOBE: Sir Robert Peel is fortunate in escaping from a storm which was fast gathering, and threatened to burst upon his head at a moment when he would be ill-prepared to meet the explosion. The Bill of Lord Powis, for preserv ing the dioceses of St. Asaph and Bangor from being rolled into one, and which the Lords were prepared to pass, maigre the Duke of Wellington's endeavours to reduce the insurgents to submission, is disposed of—strangled at the moment when it seemed certain of a safe passage to the other House of Parliament. The " manoeuvre," as the Duke of Newcastle appropriately designated the Duke of Wellington's mode of extinguishing the measure has succeeded. The " State trick" has been successfully played off, and the Premier is restored to that composure of face and feeling which has, of late, been seriously disturbed, and was threatened to be yet' further ruffled, if not incurably demolished. When all hope was gone of inducing the Lords to reverse their vote in favour of the Bill ; and there seemed no means of escape from the mischiefs it would inflict on the Government in the House of Commons—where Cabinet Ministers were fettered by pre vious pledges and promises, from which they could not escape, to support the measure—a ray of light penetrated through the thick darkness. Could it not be shown that the royal consent was essential, in order to allow the Bill to be discusssed in Parliament ? True ; the objection, if taken at all, ought to have been taken on the introduction of.the Bill. But, then, who would have thought that the Peers would contumaciously refuse to obey the high behest of the Great Duke, whose province it is to enforce order and discipline among them? Better late than never. The Bill must be kept out of the Commons, or the Cabinet, sorely pressed from without, would exhibit the symptoms of internal dissension, which are the certain precursors of dis solution. A Committee was appointed to search for prece dents. The journals were examined with lord-like diligence. No precedent of such a Bill having been introduced without the content of the Sovereign, first obtained and communi cated, could be found. So far the "manoeuvre" wrought well. Another step, and all was safe. The danger threat ened by the Bill to the official existence of the Cabinet would be averted. The session would then close without the dreaded debate and division on this most embarrassing mea sure, to oppose which, with all the means at his disposal, the Premier had pledged himself. The Select Committee, to whom the second search was intrusted, dispatched the deli cate business intrusted to it with a rapidity truly gratifying Lord Wharncliffe, a Cabinet Minister, was Chairman of the Committee. This may account for the expedition with which the Committee brought its labours to a close, and might have, some effect on the result of the inquiry. Be this as it may, certain is it, that the Noble President of the Cceincil, as chairman of the Committee, last evening " re ported, from the Select Committee appointed to inquire as to the necessity of the royal consent beinggiven to the above Bill, that such consentwas necessary, and that it had been the cus tom of the House to receive such consent at various stages of the Bill." The Bill was therefore withdrawn from their Lordships' further consideration. Whether the Noble Lord who intro duced the Bill, and the Peers who enabled him to carry its second reading, will consider the " manoeuvre" which has de feated this pet project for preserving one of the two Welsh bishoprics from extinction, as worthy treatment from the Go vernment of which they have hitherto been supporters ; or whether there will be a schism among the Lords who occupy seats on the Ministerial side of the Woolsack, as threatening as that which exists among the Conservatives in the Com mons, we take not upon ourselves to predict. Mr. Glad stone, however, preserves his place in the Cabinet, which he would have lost by voting consistently with his known and avowed approval of the Bill. Mr. Goulbourn is saved from the necessity of flying in the face of his constituents, and being subjected to a fate similar to that which befel his chief when he was re jected from being representative in Parliament for the same University, for conceding Catholic Emancipation, which he had, during his previous life, opposed and denounced. The Ministerial barque has again got into smooth water; and, though sadly shaken by recent storms, if no sudden squall bursts upon it, may weather the session. The crew which man it have had several narrow escapes, by getting off the Welsh rocks; that which has just occurred, though it has excited less sensation out of doors than the deliverance from foundering on the West India quicksands, did not cause less apprehensions to those best acquainted with the dangers of the navigation. STANDARD.—Lord Campbell's Libel Law Amendment Bill was last night rejected in the House of Lords by a ma jority of 33 to 3. The Bill was supported in argument by the Noble Mover .and Lord Brougham, and opposed by the Lord Chancellor and Lord Denman. Strong as are, and ever have been, our opinions upon the subject of the libel laws, and sincerely grateful as we are to Lord Campbell for his Libel Law Amendment Bill of last year, we cannot regret the failure of the present measure, which was a Bill to en able parties charged with seditious libels, to produce evi dence in support of their seditious allegations. It seems to us, -that in treating seditious libels as having any thing in common with what may be called personal libels, a great error is committed. In personal libels the gist of the offence is the making that public in print which it would not be so injurious to communicate privately, and, therefore, it Is very proper to allow proof of the truth to justify the publication by showing that the truth has been told, and told without malice, and solely from a good motive. But sedition, excitement to crime, is never innocent; and even if mixed up THE SUN, LONDON, MQNDAY MORNING, JULY 8, 1644. with troth, it cannot be on that account the more permitted. The printing of his incendiary suggestions may supply evi dence against the disturber of the public peace, but it scarcely aggravates his offence; for this reason we have always con sidered, and often argued, that publications hostile to the public peace, to morality, and religion, ought to be taken out of the category of libels, and prosecuted respectively as sedition, corruption of morals, or blasphemy eo nomine. But would it be endured, or ought it to be endured, that the in cendiary corrupter of morals, or blasphemer, should make a court of justice the theatre in which to vindicate, by the mouths of witnesses, and by arguments of counsel, his dan gerous or detestable doctrines? Or, is a jury a competent tribunal to decide upon such an investigation ? These views, if they are correct, show the impossibility of ever adopting a law that proposed by Lord Campbell. The Noble Lord has done much for the press; we heartily thank him for what he has done, and we intreat him to persevere in the same line in which he has succeeded, but in which we assure him there is still much to reform. On Thursday we communicated the case of a Cheltenham journal put to the expense of nine hundred pounds costs in a case where the jury returned one farthing damages. Ought such a thing to be possible ? POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (SATURDAY.) MANSION-HO USE. A man named Joseph Edwards was brought before the Lord Mayor, upon the charge of having obstructed City policeman John Davis, No. 551, in the execution of his duty, and having been the means of gathering toge ther a great crowd. The policeman said that at about ten o'clock there was a row in Eastcheap, round a public-house, and that a girl in a drunken state, was endeavouring to force her way into a public-house, the landlord of which very properly refused to admit her; that the defendant said she had been insulted and abused, and appealed to witness, who replied that as she had made no com plaint whatever, he could do nothing in the business. The defendant then said that witness was to be bought with a half-pint of beer, refused to go away, and con conducted himself in such a manner that many people assembled at the door of the house. For the sake of the public peace, it, therefore, became necessary to take him into custody, and, finally, to represent the offensive conduct. of the man to the Lord Mayor. The LOAD MAvon asked the policeman a few ques tions, which decided the matter in a very short time against the person in authority. His Lordship then asked the defendant what he had to say on the subject ? The defendant—My Lord, there is a gentleman here who saw this policeman treat me so badly that he interfered for me, even though he raised the policeman's resentment against himself. I saw a woman of respectable appear ance, but who or what she was I Gon't know, kicked by a brutal fellow into the middle of the street, as she was going into a public-house. I saw the kick repeated, and I spoke to the policeman, who was standing near, about the brutality of such conduct, when he spoke to me in a ruffianly tone, and threatened to take me into custody if I did not walk off. As I felt that he was acting in a dis graceful manner, I expostulated with him, and he then struck me and collared me, and hauled me off to the station-house. Mr. Thomas J. Carr, of Northumberland-street, New road, stated that he was passing at the time, and saw the female most shamefully treated. He then observed the policeman catch hold of the defendant and strike him without having received the slightest provocation what ever. The policeman used at the same thee very gross and abusive language towards the man who was the ob ject of his wrath. Witness mildly interfered to prevent the policeman from acting with such improper violence, but was called a " puppy," and told that if he did not walk away, he, too, should go to the station-house. The policeman said the last witness told a falsehood %hen he said the defendant was struck, and that the police could not be expected to do their duty, if people were to interfere with them so improperly. The Loan MAYOR—Why did you call this gentleman a puppy for having expostulated with you ? The police man—l certainly did call him a " puppy," because he had no right to obstruct me. He collected a crowd about the place, and a policeman has much to contend against, when he is accused before a mob. Mr. Carr said the conduct of the policeman was cal culated to stir the blood of any man—it was so absolute and peremptory an exercise of authority. He (witness) was determined to attend, at great inconvenience to him self, to represent the circumstances. He knew nothing whatever of the person against whom the charge had been brought, and whom the policeman swore, in a very disgusting manner, he would kick into the street, but he knew the magistracy of London would not tolerate so scandalous an exhibition. . . The Loud) MAYOR—The policeman has, by his own statement, shown• that be far exceeded the limits of the authority he is permitted to exercise. His conduct has been a palpable violation of the peace, instead of being conducive to the preservation of it. He has insulted and struck the person he has charged with having dis turbed him, and he has also behaved in a manner calcu lated to lead to a breach of the peace towards the gen tleman who so properly rebutted his evidence. I dismiss the complaint against the defendant, and if the case were mine I certainly should take means of punishing the real aggressor. BOW-STREET. Mr. John Wilson, of the Two Spies, in Catherine street, Strand, was summoned before Mr. Jardine, at the instance of the police, for having, on the 27th of June, at a quatr-past one in the morning, unlawfully permitted and suffered a number of prostitutes to meet together and remain in his house, contrary to the statute. Mr. Duncombe, solicitor to the Protection Society, who appeared for the defendant, applied that tha case might stand over till a future day, on the grounds that his client had entered two appeals against two former convictions. Mr. JARDINE objected to such a course, as there was no point of law raised to induce him to bind over the de fendant to the sessions. Mr. Duncombe considered the point was sufficiently strong to make such an application, as it could be proved that the persons in question were only standing before the bar. Mr. JARDINE said he could not be bound by any act of the magistrates at quarter-sessions, although he should by the Court of Queen's Bench, in case his con viction was quashed, and, therefore, he eould not attend to such an application. Mr. Duncombe submitted that when such an opinion was entertained another magistrate ought to hear the case. Mr. JARDINE said he certainly would not ask.any other magistrate to hear any case brought before him for decision, and the evidenee might be proceeded with. Inspector Black, F division, then proved that he found in front of the bar several men and women, some of whom were drunk and quarreling together. The con stable who accompanied him pointed out five of the wo men as well-known prostitutes, to which circumstance he drew the attention of the landlady who was behind the bar, and having then left, the women shortly after came out, accompanied by a man. In answer to Mr. Duncombe, witness said he was in the house only about two minutes, and the constable could merely confirm his testimony. Mr. JARDINE said, as there was no further evidence, he should dismiss the complaint, as there was a mixed company in the house, and the women in question left the moment they were desired. Mrs. Evans, landlady of the Old Drury, in Bridges street, Covent-garden, appeared to answer a similar complaint. Mr Clarkson attended for the defendant. Inspector Black said that at a quarter past one o'clock on the 27th ult. he found seven prostitutes, who were pointed out to the man •who kept the door, but he in stantly turned them out, saying, " Now, ladies, you must go," which they did. Mr. TWYFORD—Was the door locked when you went in ? Witness—The door was on the chain, and a man sat inside. Mr. TWYFORD—HOW long were you watching ; Wit ness replied he was in the street about a quarter of an hour. In answer to Mr. Clarkson, witness said he was in the house two or three minutes, and the women were only talking among themselves. Mr. Clarkson said there was evidently no case against his client, and it was a most a most barefaced proceeding to have persons taken away from their busi ness to answer such frivolous complaints. Mr. Burnaby, the chief clerk, said the inspector was not to blame, as his business was only to make a report of what he saw. Mr. TWYFORD said the remark applied very properly to the inspector's superior, who directed him to take out a summons against the defendant for allowing females to remain two minutes in her house, and he should therefore direct that the complaint should be dismissed. Mr. Brown, landlord of a public-house in Necastle court, attended upon a similar complaint ; and, after hearing a portion of the evidence, it was ordered to be dismissed, as being frivolous and vexatious. LAMBETH-STREET. Mr. Jenson, landlord of the Fir Tree, in Church-lane, Whitechapel, waited on Mr. Norton, the sitting magis trate, and requested his advice under the following circumstances Mr. Jenson stated that, like many of his fellow-trades men in the metropolis and elsewhere, he had, at the request of many friends and customers, established two Derby Sweeps—one consisting of 75 members, at 11.10 s. each, for which the holder of the first horse was to receive 501., and the second 25/. ; and the other con sisting of the same number of members, at Iss. each, for which the holder of the first horse was to receive 251., and the second 121 10s. An objection; as it was well known, had been made to Running Rein, the first horse in the Derby race, on account of his disqualification, and the consequence was that a protest had been en tered by the holder of the second horse (Orlando) against his paying the higher prize to the owners of the tickets for Running Rein, and the matter was allowed to stand over to await the issue of the late trial in the Court of Exchequer. The observations of the Learned Judge and the finding of the jury in the case would, he (Mr. Jenson) thought, have finally settled the matter, and he had, in consequence, given notice of his inten tion in a few days to pay the first prize to the holders of Orlando, and the second to lonian; and this he felt the more secure in doing, as he had no printed rules upon which exceptions might be taken, but since he had done so he heel received the following written notice from the holders of Running Rein in both sweeps:— " I being a member of the Derby Sweepstakes held at your house, and having drawn Running Rein as the first or winning horse in the said stakes, amounting to fifty pounds, which amount remains in your hands, and the said Runing Rein having come in first in the said Derby Stakes, I apprise you that I claim the said stakes (notwithstanding the sham issue tried between Mr. Wood and Colonel Peel, before Baron Alderson in the Court of Exchequer, concluded on the 2nd inst. ;) and I now give you notice that I, by myself or autho rised agent, will attend at your house to-morrow forenoon, at 11 o'clock, for the purpose of receiving the amount; and that, in the event of your refusing or neglecting to payo ver the amount to me, or my agent, as aforesaid, 1i5.44 GA'C3 such proceedings for the recovery of the amount as I am ad vised is necessary.—Yours, &c. JEREMIAH FOX. " To Mr. IV. Jenson, the stake-holder. Dated the 3d day of July, 1844." Mr. Jenson, in continuation, said that he had, of course, refused to comply with the terms of this notice, as well as the second, which was couched in precisely the same words ; and the consequence was, that he was threatened with an action at law for the recovery of both amounts, to be tried at the next assizes, with the venue laid at Liverpool. This was evidently a threat to compel him, as he conceived most unjustly, to pay the money, and he wished to have his Worship's opinion on the sub ject. Mr. NORTON replied that he very much doubted whether any person could be found who had the temerity to bring an action in such a case, after what had hap pened. They should recollect that the honest opinion of a judge and a jury was to be taken in the matter, and that there were such things happened as verdicts for defen dants, and plaintiffs being saddled with enormous costs. Mr. Jenson observed that there were a number of licensed victuallers in the same situation as he was him self, and it was exceedingly annoying to be obliged to put up with the abuse of parties interested, while he himself could have no motive in the affair beyond doing that which was fair and just. They, the publicans, were not, however, the only persons snbjected to the abuse Of interested parties, as that heaped upon Mr. Baron Al derson was shocking to hear. Mr. NORTON thought this was confined to parties who wished to profit by the disgracefully dishonest practices that had been carried on on the turf, and he did not think Mr. Jenson at all in danger of any action being brought against him ; but at all events he (Mr. Norton.) would recommend him to take a sufficient guarantee from the parties to whom be paid the money. Mr. Jenson said he would certainly do so, and thank ing the worthy magistrate for his kindness and attention, left the office. UNION-HALL. Ann Skidmore, and two young women, h er d aug ht ers , w ere charged before Mr. Train with robbing a young country girl, named Files, under circumstances of great aggravation. It appeared that the elder prisoner met with the com plainant, a girl seventeen years of age, at M anc he s t er , a nd gave her such a flourishing account of " Lunnon," and the little difficulty of getting plenty of work, as to induce her to quit her native place. They arrived in town on Monday last, and the prisoner, under a threat of " ripping her up,' took forcible possession of the poor girl's bundle, containing some articles of dress, and then left her, desiring her to get back to Manchester as well as she could. Since then the complainant has been wandering about the streets, and sleeping in the union workhouses of a night, not having the means of getting home. The prisoners were taken into custody at Peckham the preceding night, being seen _there by the complainant, applying to get a night's lodging in the workhouse. The prisoners, who denied the charge, were committed for fourteen days, and the complainant was ordered to be passed to Manchester, and recommended never to leave home. IRELAND. IMPRISONMENT OF MR. O'CONNELL. DUBLLN, JULY 4.—The Freeman's Journal of this day, says—" The following is the form of prayer agreed on by the assembled Hierarchy to be used upon the 28th inst. through out the Catholic Church of Ireland : " PRAYER. " 0 Almighty and eternal God ! Kiag of Kings, and su preme Lord of all earthly . powers, be graciously pleased to look down with compassion upon the people of this country, and mercifully put an end to their sufferings. Give them pa tience to endure their unexampled privations, and fill their rulers with the spirit of truth, humanity, and justice. Unite all classes in a persevering love of country, cordial allegiance to our beloved Sovereign, and charity towards each other. Direct our legislators to enact laws founded upon the holy commandments, and make Ireland prosperous and happy ; and as thy servant Daniel O'Connell, who has laboured with so much zeal and perseverance to promote these sacred ob jects, is now detained in captivity, give him grace to bear his trials with resignation, and in thy mercy vouchsafe to restore him to liberty, for the guidance and protection of thy people, through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.' SPYING IN THE IRISH POST-OFFICE. In referring to the debate on Mr. Duncombe's motion, the Dublin Evening P ost sa y s : -- , 6 We observe that Sir James Graham, in an endeavour to divide the responsibility of the letter-opening system, has lugged in poor Lord De Grey, on the eve of his departure, and has suggested that the Irish. branch of the Post-office should be included in the inquiry We trust that this suggestion, although emanating from the Home Secretary, will be adopted. We have no doubt that the spy system has been 'in operation in Sackville-street as well as in St. Martin's-le-Grand. Indeed, we have heard some curious statements on this subject, referring especially to the period of the State trials." ILLNESS OF CHIEF JUSTICE PENNEFATHER. Saunders's Near Lite; s - a;;;:—" The Lord Chief Justice, being indisposed, will not go the north-west circuit at the ensuing assizes, and the result of this will be the change of several of the circuits which the judges had fixed upon. Baron Richards takes the place of Baron Lefroy on the Leinster circuit, and the latter, it is understood, goes the Connaught. Mr. Sergeant Warren is unwilling to take the duty of a judge on himself, in consequence of the illness of a member of his family, and Sergeant Stock being absent, and Sergeant Howley attending the quarter sessions in the county of Tipperary, Mr. Brewster or Mr. Henn are named as the counsel most likely to be sent." The intention to encamp a force on the Curragh of Kildare, this summer, is abandoned. _ _ LORD HEYTESLIRRY'S HOUSEpOLD.—The Evening Mail states that Lord Heytesbury has, " with the greatest kind ness," consented to retain the greater part of the household of his predecessor. It is added that the following officers of the staff go out with Lord . Da Grey :—Captains Lindesay, Cole, Maude, and Sir William Don. THE DERBY DISPUTE. WOOD v. PEEL. TO THE _EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—l am, as the solicitor of Mr. Alexander Wood, the plaintiff in the above issue, desired brhim to beg you will insert in your Journal the following exculpatory statement : Mr. Goodman being the owner of the horse called Running Rein, and indebted to Mr. 'Wood in a considerable sum of money, sold the horse with his engagements to Mr. Wood, in consideration of the debt, and of a further advance, upon the terms that if the horse should be the winner of the Derby, Mr. Wood should, in addition thereto, pay Mr. Good man, or his nominees, so much of the stakes as should exceed the amount of the debt, the advance, and subsequent ex penses Thi s transaction occurred after the horse bed been I) • proved, to the satisfaction of the stewards at Newmaiket, to be Running Rein, and Mr. Wood was assured by Mr.:Good. man that there were numerous other witnesses who could prove that fact, besides the one who was examined at grew • market. The horse having been entered for the Derby in the name of Mr. Goodman, was, upon the sale taking place, transferred into the name of Mr. Wood ; the horse being afterwards alleged to be four years old, Mr. Wood caused him to be examined by an experienced person, who pronounced him to be three, and not four years old. I refrain from after he found the tide of asag'ainst the horse, he at first in ' s s t rong name, ly pu me b n i t ic io o n p in in g io t n he to pe se rs t wavered in the opinion which he had given, and afterwards retracted it. This and a similar occurrence—of which the public are well aware—respecting Leander, and the assertion of one of the highest veterinary surgeons, published in the sporting journals, that the mouth of a horse is a fallible cri terion of its age, induced Mr. Wood to Lelieve such to be the fact, and that an examination of the horse's mouth would not further the ends of justice. Immediately, however, that it appeared upon the trial, that the prod uc ti on o f th e h orse was desired by Colonel Peel's advisers, for the purpose of identity, and not the mere examination of his mouth, Mr. Wood de termined that he should be produced if the trial proceeded, and his firm resolution on that point produced the sudden termination of the trial. Mr. Wood's beneficial interest in the stakes being but small, he endeavoured to avoid a lawsuit, and to have the dispute decided by the stewards. But the instant that Col. Peel commenced the action, in which the issue Wood v. Peel was framed, Mr. Wood refused, in my presence, and with my ad vice, as his solicitor, to litigate a matter in which he had so little interest, but being most positively assured, and believ ing that the horse was Running Rein, he, upon receiving a bond of indemnity, permitted those who had a greater inter est than himself in the stakes, to use his name for the pur pose of trying the question, and to employ theirown attorney, the use of Mr. Wood's name being necessary for the purpose. In conclusion, I beg to contradict an erroneous impression, which I hear exists, that Mr. Alexander Wood is the same person as, or related to, or connected with, the plaintiff in the action, Wood v. Ledbitter, which was tried a few days since. Mr. A. Wood is a corn chandler and coal merchant at Epsom, where he has resided and carried on that business nearly 20 years, and where his real character as an honest and upright man is well known. Mr. A. Wood has been at my office every day this week, for the purpose of seeing and consulting me ou the above matter, but I have been 'unavoidably absent, otherwise I should have been present with him at the trial, and have of fered this explanation at a much earlier period. I am, Sir, your very obedient servant, 1, Lincoln's Inn-fields. A. R. STEELE. THE REAL METHOD OF SEAL BREAKING. Public attention has been of late very properly directed to the odious system of espionage which has been long prac tised at the Post-office, under the authority of the British Secretary of State ; and many of the journals have pre tended to describe te agency by which the operation of taking fac-similes of seals has been accomplished, but evi dently with little knowledge of the subject. Some of them have stated that the imitation seal was produced by placing a plate of lead on the wax impression, which, when smartly struck, presented a perfect fac-simile of the original ; but this is a palpable absurdity. The operation is much simpler; and by the process adopted at the Post-office, a score of spurious seals can be produced in a few minutes, and with the utmost precision and certainty. The spurious seal by which it is intended to reseal the opened letters, is taken in plaster of Paris, and with so much accuracy as to defy de tection. It is, in fact, the process by which our beautiful casts of medals and coins are taken, as well as that by which the lower gangs of coiners are enabled to cast exact fac similes of our silver coinage in base metal. It appears that in the secret, or inner bureau of the Post office, - the appropriate apparatus for casting is always in readiness. It simply consists of a small cylindrical, annular brass mould, about an inch in height, which opens and shuts like a bullet mould. Aft er the seal has been oiled, to prevent the plaster adherin g , thi s mould is placed upon it, and the plaster of Paris, mixed in the usual way, is poured upon it. In about five minutes it hardens, or sets, as it is techni cally called ; and in about as many minutes more is fit for re-sealing the letter, which has been opened by the applica tion of a hot iron to the seal, and a copy of its contents duly taken. If a wafer should have been used, a little hot water or steam will soon remove the obstruction.—Atlas.

FOREIGN WOOL TRADE.—LEEDS, JULY 4.—There has been an active demand for most descriptions of foreign wool during the past week, and the business transacted has been extensive. Prices are very firmly maintained. ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, JULY 5. —There has been a greater firmness in this market during the present week, and sales have been made at rather higher prices, but the latter are still below the rates asked by the growers for new wool. WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, JULY s.—The prices of wool continue much as usual, and we have nothing different to report this week in any description. LEEDS.—We have this week had two brisk markets for goods of all descriptions, with the exception of thin summer Tweeds. The supply of goods still continues very light at the Cloths Halls, in consequence of many of the principal manufacturers being engaged in delivering goods to order. In low goods there is a trifling advance in price, but in fine qualities there is no alteration. There have been several of the leading London buyers in the market during the week, and the foreign houses con tinue busy. On the whole there is more business doing than usual at this season, in the warehouses. BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY.—There is a Con siderable difference of opinion amongst themanufacturers to-day as to the state of the Piece Market ; some are complaining of a difficulty in effecting sales, while others state there has been a fair amount of business done. Merinos are scarce, and as they are only made in limited quantity, they command full prices. Orleans and Para mattas are better of sale, and prices firm. Contracts for yarn for the month of July have generally been taken at an improvement upon the current rates of the pre ceding month ; this is to be attributed to the advance which has been effected . on wool. The wool fairs in the country have gone off more briskly than was anticipated, and the prices realised by the growers range higher. The effect has been to produce more activity in this market. Old stocks have been cleared off freely, and at better prices MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING. The advices received by the Indian mail are not very flattering as regards the sale of cotton piece goods. Though sales have been made to a fair extent, prices are by no means satisfactory, and the consequence is a continued dull ness for those kinds of fabrics, and the market closes with a further downward tendency. Printing cloth is still an exception, the demand being good as well as higher. Had the printers been supplied with water, so as to have enabled them to work full time, these goods must hare gone still higher than they are ; many printers are not working more than three or four days a week. Th e h ome trae is improving —a sign that in the agricultural districts a fair average har vest is expected. Yarns meet poorly quip, hut without any sensible change in value. —Leeds Mercury.
