which were enfor ced with his usual ability. In ono part of his speech, the Noble Lord , c e nsurin g her Ma jesty's G ove rnment, said that, as a matter of policy, he would recommend an addition to the stipendiary magise trates, but at all events he , thought it was highly im politic to diminish that fiumber. He (Sir James Graham) was 'sitting near the Noble Lord the Secretary for Ireland, who handed to' him a return which appeared to him to afford a triumphant answer to the Noble Lord's statement •, and when he replied to the Noble Lord he quoted that return. Now, What was the substance of his statement? It was that the maximum number of stipendiary magistrates in Ireland, under Lord Normanby and Lord For • tescue, was fifty-nine up to the 13th of June. What was the fact, as admitted by the Noble Lord ? It was that until the 13th of February, 1841, 59 was the maximum number. He had stated that between the 13th of June and the 28th of August, seven new magistrates were appointed. Lord EBBINGTON—Seven additional ones. Sir J. GRAHAM—Seven additional ones. What was the fact? Between the 13th of February and the 28th Of August there only four new stations appointed, but there were eleven new magistrates. There having been only four new stations, it followed that there must have been seven additional magistrates. He had now said all that he had thought it necessary to say in explanation of what had fallen from him in the hurry of debate. Mr. BARING said that whilst he had been in office he had not been influenced in his appointments by party considerations. The Right Hon. Gentleman then re ferred to various dates in order to show that he had made appointments of persons adverse to the Government of which he was a member, and that he was entirely governed by the consideration of the fitness of the person appointed. He (Mr. Baring) did not complain of the Government, in 1835, for the appointments they had made after their resignations had been announced ; but he referred to them merely to show What the rule was. He alluded to them to show the strictness with which all acts connected with the pnblie service were performed; and on this account he was the more more surprised to find the Right Honour able Baronet (Sir J. Graham) descending to the clap• trap which he had done.—(Hear, hear.) It was no matter whether it was the last hour or the first hour of official existence that vacancies took place, they mast be, filled up as they so became vacant. He did think it was a very unworthy thing to keep a charge back t the space of two years, then to be brought for ward in such a shape and in such a spirit; and he should, therefere, suggest to the Right lion. Gentleman (Sir J. Giaham) to be more careful for the future before he ventured to attack even his old friends.—(Hear, hear.) Lord ELIOT said, that for any inaccuracy which had occured he alone, and not his Right Hon. Friend (Sir J. Graham), 'was to blame. He did not much like the ar - oumenturn ad hominem, and always abstained as care fully as possible from personal observations; but he would venture to say. that there had not been a news paper in that country, nor a periodical—enot even the great Whig organ the Edinburgh Review—which had not denounced the late Government upon this point.—(Hear. hear.) And alter all that had fallen, apparently with such triumph, from his Right Hon. Friend the late' Chancellor -of the . Ex chequer (Mr. Baring), ho challenged any one to show any material inaccuracy in the return. There were three new stations created, and, in his opinion, need lessly so.. For when the House recollected that for the laA three years sixty stipendiary magistrates had been found sufficient, and this during a period when there had been' famine riots in Irelan d and poor-law distur "minces, and all the agitation connected with repeal, he thought most certainly that new appointments, were most uncalled-for and extravagant. With respect to the return of the appointments of magis trates that had been referred to, and which had been asserted not to exist, he felt no hesitation in saying that anch returns did exist. He maintained that the state ments that had been made by his Right Hon. Friend were substantially correct, that the late Government had made an addition of seven new magistrates, and that on the last day of their holding officc they appointed one utagistrate.—(Hear hear.) • Mr. LAMA:CARE considered the question now before the House was, whether the late Lord Lieutenant of 'letup(' had prostituted the patronag e that he had in his poWCr. The charge that hal been made against Lord Fortescue had entirely broken down, and he was astonished at the language. that had been employed that night.—(Hear, hear.) He would put it to the Hon. Member whether there was anything before the House to justify the Right lion. Gentleman in saying that Lord Fortescue was actuated by unworthy motives in ap pointing the magistrates he had done. He was asto nished at the observations that had been made with re spect _to the return, and he felt that nothing but the high character of Lord Fortescue had shielded him frpm the attack that had been directed againit him. With regard to tho appointments themselves they had not heard that any one of the appointments bad been iruproperly filled up. His Noble Friend bad, even at the distance of two years, been enabled to state the grounds of each appointment—(Cheers)—and the House had bear.l the statement which he had made.—(Cheers.) Lord Fortescue had received applications from persons of respectable character, and of all shades of politics, beseeching the Government to make these appointments; and if Lord ForteAcue had not addt cl to the magistracy, these applications would have been produced, and he would have been charged with having failed in his duty, and with having left the country in an unprotected state. —Hear, hear.) He congratulated his Noble Friend on the result of this debate.—(Cheers.) His Noble Friend bad by this debate secured the only object which he cared about relating to it, which was, to relieve his Noble Relative from the accusation which had been brought agan.t him, that he had improperly used his patronage while he held the Office of Lord Lieutenant of leland.—(Loud cheers.) • Lord STANLEY would not have taken any part in the discussion had it not been for the speech of the Right Hon. Gentleman who had just sat down. Any one listening to that speech Would hare suppoged that his Right Hon. Friend had brought this forward as a charge against the Government of Ireland. Now, the fact was, that his Right Hon. Friend was replying, on the spur of the moment, to a charge which bad been made by,tbe Noble Lord the Member for London, who said, " You have unduly diminished the stipendiary ma gistracy of Ireland, when you ought to have increased it ;" the answer to which hail been, " :so far from di niinishing the number of stipendiary magistrates, we have now, and have had, throughout our Government, a number . equal to the number which either Lord Nor manby or Lord Ebrington ever maintained in . Ireland, Wept during the last six months' of Lord Ebrington's administration; and his Right Honourable Friend, aimiling himself of a paper that had been put into his hind by his Noble Friend the Secretary for Ireland, said," 4* .you dispute the fact, this paper will show it." That paper proved that in 1838, 1839, and - 1840, the number of stipendiary magistrates had .varied from 57 to 3'3, at-no time had they been higher than 59 or less than 57; and it was only during the last six months of LOrd Ebringtou'3 'administration, that seven additional magistrates had been added' to the stipendiary force in ireland,—and in fact, They had dOne so. There might bg causes for it or there might not, but while they were b(!aiting or the' increased tranquillity in Ireland un doubtedly they had made seven new appointmients • Mr. LL BOUCHME—Not new app o i n tm ents . Lord STANLEY—Seven new magistrates.--(Hear, hear.) But if those three were new appointments, those three appointments had been made not only after the month of June, but after the 28th of July. On that day Nicholas Kelly had been appointed, vice an old ma gtstrate appointed to a new st. tioa. On the 6th of august Edward Savage was a . to Ballyshannon, anew station; and on the 28th o ugust Henry Al cock was appointed, vice another old - magistrate 'ap pointed' to . a new station. He did not say that the ford tieutetiant had not gOod reason for appointing these magistrates.- Mr. LABOUCHERE—That is the whole case. Lord STANLEY —That was not the whole case; the case must be considered in connection with the whole coarse of the debate. While boasting that Ireland was in a state of extraordinary tranquillity, they had made seven new appointments; and three new stations. That had been brought forward by his Right Hon. Friend as an answer to the charge made bythe' Noble Lord the Member for London, and had been mentioned as a proof that the present Government had kept up a force of stipendiary magistrates equal to that which was kept up by the late Government. . Mr. VILLIERS STUART felt it . his duty to state that applications had been made from some of the most respectable inhabitants of the part of the country with Iv!"ch he was connected, to the Lord Lieutenant for the appointment of new stipendiary magistrates, as the number of :those at that time appointed was not suffi cient for the due ad mi nistration s of justice. e 'Lord ELIOT S ome magistrates had been removed from one part of the country to another, and lately there had be en no demand for magistrates to be permanently appointed. Mr. W YSE bore testimony to the high chara c t e r o f being dism Mr: Alcoa swho had been put to great inconven i ence b y id. Mr. MORE O'FERRALLforsawiadrdthettl)enly object of his Noble Friend in brining rescue Earl Fortescue from an imputation m of ot a io, was to eitercise of' his patronage. If the Right Hon. Ba ronet had said that he did not intend any such imputati on, debate would have terminated. with his Noble Friend's speech. But he had not' done so ; on the contrary , s he had justified the imputation, and attempted t re-assert the truth of the statement. It was this of which 'the Noble Lord had reason to complain. No person could say; who was acquainted with the ad ministration, of Ireland, when it might be necessary to 63A:stake an appointment of a stipendiary magistrate. As can instance of this, he would 'mention that there were ilia magistrates in the commission of the peace in Tal -144 who gave up . their commissions because a Whig GOvernment was in office. A stipendiary Magistrate had of course to be appointed. It' might happen that every appointment was not for the benefit of those who were in office, but it might be also for thOse who would succeed. • " Sir R. PEEL said that it was the invariable practice fora Government to till up all existing vacancies before they were formally superseded, ,and though they had a wasn u o n t c h 9 their intention to resign ; n ty, more, there unusual in one Government filling up appoint ments whi c h had b een lic could made by a preceding Government. give an petstanee in which an appointment vvus Made two pe erages, i f- , : ,;l an . d upon die intentions of the Government sti i v of the croNi,l, Was .

The case wags put upon its right footin. , b Member for Laudashire. itight lien. Gentleman,}l opt t n h r e the Member lor.Kildare, said that if hi--; I'4* hall o>zly colo fort" aid before and fitaittz4 error as he had done new, the present discussion would not have . continued. His Right Hon. Friend admitted every error of which he was convinced, but his Bight Hon. Friend did not admit, and would not admit, that of which be was not convinced. But the Right Hon. Gentleman the Member for Portsmouth said that if his Right Hon. Friend had made, in the first instance, the speech which he made to-night, there would have been no necessity for the motion. Mr. BARING—No, no. Sir R. PEEL so understood the Right Hon. Gentle man. This was no original attack made by his Right Honourable Friend upon Lord Fortescue. The Govern ment had been accused of reducing the number of stipendiary magistrates, for the purpose of reviving the ancient authority of the old magistrates. His Right Hon. Friend met that accusation by stating that there was no reduction in the number of the stipendiary ma- Fistrates, if they took the present number and compared it with the three years preceding the Ist of January, 1841. But in the interval from the Ist of January, 1841, seven new appointments had been made, so that his Right Hon. Friend was justified in making that statement. There were seven new stations. It was not that seven vacancies were filled up, which would be only a legitimate use of authority by the Government who were going out, but that was not the question.—. (Hear, hear.) It was that there were seven new stations made. He did not say that they were improperly made. He - would now state the particular circumstances of those cases, A justification had been made out for each appointment, but that did not touch the defence of his Right Hon. Friend. lie would say that the mere circumstance of an application being made was no con clusive proof of its being necessary. (Laughter.) He apprehended that stipendiary magistrates were paid put of the Consolidated Fund. If the mere application of a person for an office worth 5001. or 600/. a year was a complete proof of the necessity of appoint ing the applicant. Nothinc , could be more easy than to produce, not only a mo ral e ' conviction, but even a mathematioalproof, of its necessity. He would not say that the appointment of Mr. Walker was not justified by the necessity of the case ; all he would say was, that it an application constituted a conclusive proof of the propriety of the appointment, there would hardly be any limit to the number of appointments which might not to be vindicated upon that ground: The circumstances of the country might justify the ap pointment of those magistrates, yet his Right Honour able Friend the Secretary' of State for the Home Department was, he thought, justified in vindicating the present Government. Mr. HAW ES said that the impression made on his mind was, that there had been jobbing on the part of the late Government, and now it appeared that there was no ground for such a charge. Sir R. PEEL—Ye did not say that Lord Fortescue committed any such job. Mr. HAWES- - -No, but it was insinuated. The effect of the present discussion was to remove any impression from his mind unfaTourable to the late Government in the matter. Lord EBRINGTON replied. The Report of the Committee of Supply was brought up and agreed to—t No votes having been reserved, one regarding Irisb. poor-laws, _and the otherJelatiag to the expenses of the House of Lords. The House then adjourned, at a Quarter-past One. THE STATE TRIALS. (From the Morning Herald.) DUBLIN, MONDAY. EVENING. Easter Term commenced this day ; at an early hour the hall of the Four Courts was crowded by persons who were manifestly anxious to hear the result of the State trials, as it was generally supposed that Mr. O'Connell and his associates would be called up for judgment at the sitting of the Court. Many were, however, disappointed, for'the only traversers who were actually in Court were Dr. Gray and Mr. flay. The Attorney-General or Solicitor-General did not appear in Court. Mr. O'Connell, accompanied by his son, Mr. J. O'Connell, arrived about twelve o'oclock. It is not expected that anything will be done respecting the conspirators until ThUrsdaY next. The four-day (side bar) rule was, entered this afternoon, and will be served to-night. The rule calls upon the conspirators'to " appear and show cause in four days why the judgment of. the Court should not be passed, and execution had thereon." This rule will ex, pire on Friday next, but it is expected that counsel on behalf of the conspirators will move for a new trial on Thursday. The argument upon this motion may occupy a week, or perhaps more, as it is contended that each of the eight tra versers has a right to be heard by two counsel. If the motion is refused (which is very probable, from the extraordinary, grounds upon which it is made), tben judgment will be passed ; however, another motion " in arrest of judgment," it is said, will then be made, and the lovers of Irish eloquence may. have the gratification of satiating themselves for perhaps another fortnight. It is rumoured that the object of these protracted arguments is to prevent the sentence being carried into effect this term, and I believe that is really what is contemplated. The Crown will meet them foot to foot in every stage, but it is at present impossible to say when the matter will terminate. At eleven o'clock Mr. Justice Burton tookhis seat (unrobed) upon the bench, and the following gentlemen were called to the bat Walter Atkin. Pnrefoy Bateman. * William Gernon. * Stephen P. P.

THE SLACK CASE. At the sitting of the Court this morning the prisoners Barber and Fletcher, Mrs. Dorey, William Saunders, and Lydia Saunders, his wife, were placed in the dock to take their trial upon the. indictment charging them with the forgery of a will purporting to be the last will and testament of one Anne Slack. There were, as in the other case, a number of counts vary ing the description of the 'charge. Mr. Wilkins, with Mr. Parry, again appeared for Barber, and Mr. Greaves for Fletcher. Mr. ERLE stated the case for the prosecution. It appeared that the father of Miss Slack died about the year 1815, leav ing a Mr. Hulme as one of his executors. The affairs were not wound up until 1829, when Mr. litilme invested certain property in the public funds in the name.of Anne Slack,-of,: Smith-street, Chelsea, spinster; namely, 6,6004 in the Three per Cents. Reduced, and 3,500/. in the Three per Cent. Con sols. It appeared.that Miss Slack had the most unbounded confidence in Mr.Hulme, who was her guardian, and she drew from time to time just what money she wanted. On the death of Mr. Hulme she had to receive the dividends herself. She was unaware, however, that the 3,500/. Consols stood in her name, and received the dividends on the Three per Cents. Reduced only. The consequence waa, that no dividends were received on the Three per Cent. Consuls after 1832, and at the end of ten years both the stock and the dividends -which had accrued due thereon, but which she hid inadvertently passed over, were transferred into the names of the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt, according to the ordinary practice in such cases. On the 16th of March, 1843, a will was produced at Doctors' Commons, purporting to be that of Miss Slack. On the 24th or 25th of 'March probate was ob tained; and the stock and dividends subsequently transferred back into the name of Misa Slack ; and this will would un doubtedly be proved to be a forged will. This part of the charge he should be able to make peculiarly clear, be cause he should call before them Miss Slack herself, the lady whose will this forged instrument purported to be. After calling upon the jury to discharge from their minds all that they might have heard before they entered the jury box in respect of this case, and to judge of its merits only by the evidence which should be laid before them. the Counsel proceeded to lay before the jury a short narrative of the circumstances connected with the transaction, which would be proved in evidence before them, and then went on to read the letters which Barber had written to Captain Foskett, for the purpose of procuring particulars relating to the executors under the will of the late father of Miss Slack, and as to whether Miss Slack spelt her Christian name with.or without a final e. He next came to the registry of the death of "Anne Slack, of South-terrace, Pimlico," by the prisoner Fletcher, in the name of "Ro bert Hart, of James-street, Commercial-road East." In the first place, there was no such place as South-terrace, Pimlico; there was a South-place, but no such person as Anne Slack had ever lived there; neither was there any such street as - James-street, Commercial-road East, nor could it be discovered that any such person as Robert Hart had ever resided in that neighbourhood. It appeared, there fore, that a fictitious registry of a fictitious death had been brought about by. the • prisoner Fletcher, in the manner which he had mentioned. It had been said, in another case, that the registei of a birth was no proof of birth—and cer tainly the registry of a death was no proof that the person alleged to have died was deceased. Fletcher had been identified by the registrar as the person. He should also prove that the prisoner Lydia Saunders had lived in lodgings in the name of Emma Slack; had been disguised by a profusion of ringlets of very light coloured hair, and constantly wore her bonnet and boa in the house. But that, notwithstanding the lightnessof her ringlets, the hair brushes were found to, be filled with hair perfectly black. — (Laughter.) While in these. lodgings she was visited, by Fletcher, and by her sister, Mis. Dorey, and her identity would be proved beyond a loubt. After the transfer, Mrs. Saunders went lsack no more to the lodgings at which she had been living as Emma Slack, but went to her sister, Mrs. Derey i and subsequently, after being seen with a large sum of money in her possession, returned home to Bristol. At the Bank she had passed as Emma Slack, the sister and executrix of Anne Slack, represented as deceased. The Learned Counsel then went through a history of the circum stances attending the examination of Barber at the Mansion house, and the subsequent implication. of Fletcher, after be had been produced as the person wbo had introduced Emma Slack ; and after some further observations, left it for the jury . to say whether Barber had a guilty knowledge of, and was a participator in, the acts of the other prisoners. Mr. Seaton, from the Prerogative-office, produced a will purporting to be that of Anne Slack; also the copy of an affidavit, the original of which was at the Stamp-office. Cross-examined by Mr. WILKINS—Was present at the Mansion-house when Mr. Barber was first taken. Barber expressed a wish to proceed with the case at-once without counsel. Mr. Clarkson cautioned him, but he said he Would rather go on, as he had nothing to fear, or words to that effect. Mr. W. G. Bennett produced the original affidavit filed at the Stamp-office, from the Prerogative-office, and a copy of the will. Mr. Wm. Smee, Chief Accountant of the Bank of England —ln 1829 there were standing in the Bank books, in the name of-Anne Slack, of Smith street, Chelsea, the two sums of 6,629/. 17S. Three per Cents. Reduced, and 3,5001. Three per -Cent. Consols. They were bought in on the 23d October, 1829. The dividends on the Three per Cents. Reduced were paid to Ardern Hiilme, Esq., by virtue of a power of attor ney ; and the dividends on the Consols were paid to the same party by a power of attorney. The dividends on both- stocks were received by Mr. Hulme, up ,to 1832. I knew Mr. Hulme. In consequence of the non-receipt of the dividends I have spoken of; after 1832, on the Consols, the sum of 3,500?. Three per Cent. Consols was. on 6th July, 1842, trans erred into the names of the Commissioners for the reduction of the national debt, that being after the lapse of the period of ten years. Cross-examined by Mr. WILKESM—Persons are ordinarily called upon to identify others coming to transfer stock at the By Mr. GREAvEs—Books are published by the authority of an Act of Parliament of unclaimed dividends, and the date when the first unclaimed dividend became due. Re-examined by Mr. Eiu.a—But not of the amount of stock upon which they are duo. Mr. John Slack—l reside at Abbot's Langley, iu Herts. I knew the late Mr. Ardern Hu'me. My father's name was: George Slack, and he left property. Mr. Hulam acted as exe cutor under my father's will, and guardian to my sister and myself. He died in 1832, up towhich time he had continued to act as guardian to my sister. The document produced is in the hand-writing of Mr. Hulme. Cross-examined by Mr. Witic.ixis--My sister had an income besides the funded property. Her income was handsome. She had more than 300/., 400/., or 5004 a yea,. independent of the 3,500/. Consols which lay dormant. I cannot answer the question whether she is an intelligent person or not. By ihe.Coußr—She was not accustomed to business. Mr. George Beaman, surgeon, of King-street, Covent garden—l was executor to the late Mr. Hulme, and produce a book relating to the affairs of the Slacks, which had been kept by Mr. Hulme. There appeared a settlement of ac• counts, balanced and signed by Miss Slack. Miss Slack was then called, and was accommodated with a chair. She appeared exceedingly nervous. She stated — Mr. Hulme was my executor and guardian. After his death I received my own dividends. I was not aware that I had 3,5001. •Three per Cent. Consols. I did not receive any dividends on that stock until after this inquiry began. In 1827 I was living in Smith-street, Chelsea, in the family of Mrs. Leek. I paid for my board and lodging there. In 1830 I left Mrs. Leek, and went to re side with my sister's husband, Captain ioskett, and have lived with him from that time to the present. The signature of Anne Slack to the will produced is not in my handwriting. I did not give any person authority to make this will or to sign the - name. cross examined by Mr. WlL.Rms—Mv age is thirty- Seven. I never had an interview with 'Mr. Barber at all. I was taken in a cab to the office door, and Captain Foskett went in and left me in the carriage. That occurred only once. Captain Foskett informed me, when he came out, that some moneys had been discovered belonging to a Miss Slack, of Chelsea. This writing has been shown 1 to me several times, and does' Rot resemble mine in the slightest degree.. My. writing 'is aneat running hand, and this is a stiff upright hand, Mr. William Chriqmas- , -I- am clerk in the Bank England. I tilled the situation of Librarian at the Bank. My position enabled me to become aevainted with facts relating to unclaimed dividends. 1 am at present under sue tzinxiaaien: I kni acquainted with Fletcher. I recollect giving %MAWR Sit MlOSPeCting WO/. stgctstiadirg =un name of Anne Slack, and subsequently gave bin thedescrip.: tion whiCh vas in -the books of the Bank, namely*, " Smith street, Chelsea:" Fletcher afterwards. showed me a letter ; possibly two months or more after the last inquiry he lead made of me. His stated that it was to satisfy me as to the identity of the person whom he had found out who claimed the stock. The letter produced is that which he brought me—l think it is. I compared the signature with the . power of attorney in the books of the Bank. After having done so, I saw Fletcher again. I told him that I believed there was something in the style of the writing like it, but that it was a younger hand—meaning that the letter was in the younger hand. Fletcher. after a considerable time had elapsed, told me that the probate of the will was lying in the will office. I had cautioned him that he must be very particular of the identity of the parties, and Fletcher said that he-was quite.satistied that.he wasright. In a few days he called OD me, and said he had come to make me a remuneration for the information I had given him. He said the stock had been transferred and sold. He gave me 1001. in gold. I have returned it to him since he has been in custody. . _ _ CroPs-acamined by Mr. GREANEs—I have been 50 years in the service of the Bank, and have given information to other persons besides Mr. Fletcher relating to unclaimed dividends. I have told. Mr. Freshfield of all the persons to the best of my recollection. I have never received 1,0001. for such informa tion ; it may be 5001., but I will swear it is not 1,000/. I gave the 1001. back to a messenger sent from Fletcher by me. I am suspended now. I did 'not volunteer the information I gave to Mr. Freshfield unfortunately; it was in consequence, of something that bad been said of me that I gave the infor-. mation. I was asked to acknowledge all I' had dune. I admit that 1 prevaricated al first. ' The following witnesses were next examined, adding no thing material to the• facts which have already frequently come before the public in the reports from the Mansion-house examinations :—Mr. John Apsley, a clerk at the Abbots Langley Railway station, his wife, and Captain Foskett, who married the sister of Miss Anne Slack.. Mr. W. Page was then examined by Mr. I3ODILIN—I occupied the house, No. 8. South-place, from September, 1842, to October, 1843. During that time no person of the name of Slack lived in that house. Martha Ann Neville, examined by Mr. CLAansoN—l live with my father, at No. 7, Francis -street, Tottenham court-road. In March of last year the prisoner Dorey same to our house to take lodgings for a lady who was coming out of the country, about law business, and she added that she could not give a reference, but she - offered instead to give a week's rent in advance. - She said she would come again in about two hours, but r did not see her again on that occasion; In the evening I found that a female had taken possession of the lodgings, but I did not see her till the next morning. This per son was the female prisoner, Saunders. She pass—i by the name of Miss Slack, and remained in Ars lodgings three weeks or a month, when she went away with Geor giana Dorey, who came for her in a cab, and they went away together. While.the second lady lodged in our house, the prisoner Dorey used frequently to come wed visit her. At this time the prisoner Saunders wore light flaxen coloured ringlets, but on my going into her room, I observed that there was dark-coloured hair in her comb. She always wore a bonnet when in the house. When Mrs. Dorey came, she used always to ask for Miss Slack. The prisoner Saunders used to tell me that if any one came to see her but her lawyer, I was to say she did not live there. A dark gentleman, whom she described as her lawyer, used to come . and see her once or twice a week, but I do not recollect his person. ,By Mr. STONE—I am sure it was on the 9th of March that she came to our house,.and I did not see her for twelve months afterwards, when she was in custo:ly. I had seen Mrs. Dorey before that, in Oxford-street, but I did not know Mrs. Saunders was her sister until I went to the Mansion-house. I am sure they were false ringlets that Mrs. Saunders wore. They hung like false ringlets, and there was also dark hair in her comb, which satisfied me they were false. I told this to For rester, the officer. I don't know-that the officer made a search for false ringlets at Mrs. Dorey's house. • Mrs. Dorey used to come and visit her sister. She had dark hair, but I don't know that she had any opportunity of using her sister's hair-brush. I have always told the the same story about this transaction. By Mr. WILKINS—She did not tell me what the name of her lawyer was. I never heard her say his name was Jones. The prisoner . Fletcher is very much like the person whom she called her lawyer, but I cannot speak positively to him. By Mr. CLARKSON—The moment I saw the prisoner, Lydia Saunders, I was sure she was the same person, and before I had seen her I had spoken about 'the light ringlets. By Mr. Justice WILLIA')IS—I pointed out the prisoner, Lydia Saunders, the moment I saw her. As she was walking past me at the Mansion-house, I said to Mr. Weare, " That is the person ; I am quite sure she is the person." By Mr. CLARKSON—Whih3 she was in our house, I used to wait upon her every day, both at her meals and in. her bedroom. Martha Neville, the mother of the last witness, con firmed her testimony relative to the circumstances under which her lodgings were taken by the prisoner, Lydia, Saunders. She spoke positively to the fact of that pri soner having lived in her house under the name of Miss Slack. . ----- By Mr. STONE—There is nothing at all unsual in pay ihg a week's rent in advance. Did not see the prisoner any more from the time she left her lodging until she was in custody at the Mansion-house. She after wards went to Mrs. Dorey's house, in Oxford-street, ac companied by Mr. Weare, and sherecognised her directly as the person who had first engaged the lodging. By the CounT—The woarm who lodged in my house wore light flaxen ringlets, and her appearance now is . very much changed, but I am quite sure she is the same person. Mr. Justice WlLLzAms—This is a very serious mat ter, you know Mrs. Neville. Have you the slightest doubt as to this bring the person who came to your house in the name of Miss Slack ? Witness—l hare no donbt whatever she is the person. Mr. Wills, examined by Mr. ERLE—I am a proctor in Doctors' Commons. The prisoner Barber came to my office on the 16th March, 1843, accompanied lay a female who was represented as Emma Slack, and who was in troduced to me by that name. I have very little recol lection upon the subject; but from what I do- remember I should say the prisoner Lydia Saunders resembles her. The will was produced, and I obtained- probate upon it, and the female who accompanied Barber signed the affi davit as executrix. The value which the effects were sworn was under 5,0001. and .I received a cheque from Mr. Barber for 80/. for payment of the stamp duty. I ob:ained the probate on The 22d March, and sent it to the office of Messrs Barker and Bircham. By Mr. STONE—The parties were not in my office more than five minutes, and a great many people came to me under similar circumstances. I do not recollect hearing the females speak one word during the transac tion. i By Mr. WILLIAMS — M r . Barber's conduct, so far as I witnessed it, was that of a perfectly honourable and honest attorney. When the lady was i ntro d uce d to me as Miss Slack, Implicitly believed it, an d mere ly as k e d • the usual questions that were necessary- to enable me to fill up the forms. I had done business • with Messrs. Barber and Bircham before, :and always looked upon Barber as an honest and honourable'man. By Mr. ERLE—I took all for granted that was stated by Mr. Barber. All that Mr. &Veer did in • this tran saction w a s to employ me to obtain probate, which is one of the most ordinary transactions in my office. Mr. John Weldon examined by Mr. CLARKSON—I thelvill of ta the ki ngin office in. the Bank of England. a will of Anne Slack was left m lerk in A probate at the Bank on the 27th of March," 1843, and an appli cation was also made to the Governor of the Bank to re-transfer the stock from the Commissioners for the Reduction of the Nat ional Debt to Emma Slack. The probate was afterwards delivered out to Messrs. Barber and Bircham. The letter applying for the restoration of the stock, signed by Emma Slack, as the sole legatee and executrix of the deceased Anne Slack. was then put in and read. Mr. William Smee proved that, by order of the Go vernor of the Bank of - England, he re-transferred the stock to the name of Emma Slack, of Frantes-street, Tottenham-court-road, and that an order for the pay ment of the unclaimed dividends upon the stock was made at the same time. The amount of the principal •was 3,5001., and the unclaimed dividends amounted to 1,151/. 18s. 10d. By Mr. WancLes-31r. Philpot, a stockbroker, identi fied the parties , . Mr. Noble, a clerk in. the Accountant's-office of the Bank of England, proved that, on the-7th of April, the prisoner Barber, accompanied by- a, 'woman, whom he 'represented as Emma Slack, came to 'the Accountant's ofhce. To the best of his knowledge and belief the pri soner. Lydia Saunders, was that person. Mr. Barber said he came to receive the dividends upon the stock that had been transferred from the Commissioners to the name of Emma Slack. Finding that the stock had been transferred, he told the prisoner that it would be neces sary Emma Slack should be identified before the money could be paid. Mr. Barber then went away, and came back accompanied by Mr. Philpot, a stockbroker, who identified Emma Slack, and . witness then gave Mr. Barber a document, which, being signed by Emma Slack, would entitle her to receive the sum of 1,1511. 18s., the amount of the unclaimed . dividends upon the stock in question. • By Mr. STONE—This took place on the 7th of April last year. There was nothing out of the ordinary course - of business in the transaction. He should say that, the woman was in the - office for a q uarter of an hour, but he did not hear her speak at all. He did riot see the' pri goner any more until she was at the Mansion-house, and he went there for the purpose of seeing her. He re marked that while . she was in his office the woman stooped, and appeared suffering under Some infirmity. -She had a black veil on. - - By Mr. EnLE—lle had an -opportunity of seeing her features. By the Count —I entertain-no doubt in my own mind that Lydia Saunders is the person who on that occasion represented herself to be Emma Slack. Other clerks in the Bank of England were then called, to prove the payme nt of the amount of the unclaimed dividends. It appeared to have been paid with 600/. in gold, and the rest in notes. The several documents connected with the transfer of the stock, on the paYment of the dividends, were then put in, and read by Bar. Straight. At this stage of the case, the Court adjourned until -ten o'clock the next morning. Griffin, one of the accused parties,was but hared from was ad mitted a witness -for the Crown, di custody yesterday evening. - [All the prisoners were accommodated with chairs. :Bar ber, however, stood, and continued from time to time to make copious notes; the ()there sat down, and appeared greatly dejected.] SALE or lIER MAJESTY'S SUIPS.—The following vessels, belonging to the Royal Navy, are shortly to be brought to the hammer at f....:omerset-house, viz. :—The 10 - guns, 236 tons; 10 guns, 231 tons • Jaseur, 16 guns,' 387 tons; Pvlades, IS guns, 432 tons; :llgerine, 10 guns, 231 tons; Weazle, 10 guns, 237 tons; Termagant, 10 guns, 231 toils ; Swan (cutter), 144 t 0113; and liauiet (BOW), 83 tow, POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) CLERKEN John Tiobingorn was Charged with having in his pos session a quantity of stolen property, and with attempt ing to cut the throat of a young woman named 31.‘Evoy. Police-constable. Baker, 108 E, deposed, that being on duty in Buckeridge-street, St. Giles s, that morning, he heard cries of "murder!" and. thg violent screaming of a woman proceed from a house there he.h4s.tened to the place whence they_proceeded, a back room in an upper story. When he •entered the apartment he saw two women and the prisoner there. The prisoner, on seeing witness immediately attempted to conceal a lump of pewter beneath his dress, and to remove a pan which had been on the fire, and in which were particles of pewter pots, some of them in a liquid and part in a solid state. The prosecutrix was screaming, and showed wit ness two cuts on her „throat. and pointed out a knife which lay on the floor, and with which she declared the prisoner had attempted to cut it. The prisoner imme diately rushed upon her, and, before witness could secure him, struck her two violent blows on the breast and kicked her. Mary Anne M'Evoy, aged eighteen, deposed that she resided in the same house with the prisoner. On that morning he was beating the woman with whom he cohabited in a very brutal manner. She interfered, fearing he would murder her, but the prisoner knocked her down, kicked her on the side, which was quite black, and so sore that she could not touch it. Lie then fastened his teeth in her head, and inflicted a severe wound upon it. (The girl exposed the wound). She arose from the ground, and cried out " murder!" upon which ho seized a knife that lay on the table, and, throwing one of his arms round. her neck, so as to pull back her head, drew the knife (which was produced) twice across her throat—the knife being very blunt did not • cut deep, and she was endeavouring to withdraw her. - -elf from his grasp when the constable arrived. The prisoner refused to give any accoent of how he came by the pewter. The girl, he said, had attempted to cut her throat, and lie prevented her. Mr. COMBE said he would send him for two months to the House of Correction and hard labour, for the possession of the stolen property. At the termination Of his imprisonment, the 'proseetitrix must again came forward, and the prisoner Would then be dealt with for the attack upon her. The prcrecutrix, crying, declared she was in danger of her life from the prisoner's asseciates, who had thrat ened to. murder her. , . Mr. CONDE ordered warrants to be issued against the parties. • Peter Jowett, a spruce-looking young fellow, was charged with being riotous, and ringing the bell at the house of Mr. Bowna, a surgeon, residing at No. 12 Charterhouse-square. It appearld from the evidence that Mr. Bowna has a pretty servant-girl, to whom the prisoner has been for some time paying his addresses. On the previous evening he adjourned from a public-house to the front of the complainant's resi-- dence, to which he laid siege, very vigorously knocking at the door and ringing the bell, so as to disturb and alarm all the inmates, particularly " Mary," who felt quite abashed at these violent and uncouth demonstrations of the affection of her admirer. Remanstrance was useless—he must see " Mary ;" but " Mary" would not see him, so he was formally introduced to a police-constable, who conducted: him to the station-house. The prisoner, whose subdued and sheepish look fully ex, emplified the words of the. Irish song-- " Love so hot will soon grow cool again," declared he was very sorry for wliat had taken place. Mr. CoMaE fined him IL, or three weeks' imprisonment. Mr. Etowna—l am authorised by the girl to pay the fine, whatever it is. Mr. COMBE—Then let herself come and pay it. Mr. Jowett was locked up. BOW-STREET. Mr. Edward Lacey was summoned before Mr. Jardine for having opened his house, the Garrick's Head, Bow street, for the sale of wines and liquors at five minutes before one eclock on Good Friday morning. Inspector Mullins staxcl that he was on duty at five =lutes to one o'clock on Good Friday morning, at which time he was passing the Garrick's Head Hotel in Bowstreet. He went into the coffee-room, and he saw seven gentlemen there. Liquors and water were on the table. Mr. Nicholson was present, and he said that the gentlemen present were members of his establishment, and belonged to the Jtujge and Jury Society. Witness was int in the room more than three or four minutes. Mr. Wire said that the parties who were in the house were only gentlemen who had been , invited to sup with Mr. Nicholson on the, occasion of his birth-day. He then called _ _ Mr. Renton Nicholson, who stated that he was the manager of Mr. Lacey's establishment. Ile was in the house when the inspector came in. All the gentlemen who were in the room were friends, who had been invited to supper. •No liquor whatever was sold after twelve o'tJock. , • Mr. JARDINE- 7 1 think this is an answer, and I shall therefore dismiss the case. The summons was dismissed accordingly. Mr. Rhodes, the landlord of the Coal Hole. in the Strand, was, summoned for a similar offence, alleged to have been committed on the same day, at the same hour. The case was precisely similar to the last. The inspector heard voices in the house, and he knocked at the door. It wasimmediately opened, and on going into the house he discovered three or four gentlemen sitting in the bar. _ _ Mr. Rhodes, in his defence to-day, called one of these gentlemen, who stated that the persons whw were at the bar were gentlemen who lodged in the house. Summons dismissed. Mr. Rhodes, brother of the last defendant, the hula ,rd of the Cider Cellars, in Maiden-lane, was summoned to answer a similar charge. The case was precisely similar to the last, as was also the defence. Mr. JARDINE at once dismissed the summons. MARLBOROIiGH-STREET. James Thompson, a fashionably-dressed young man, who gave his residence as being at No. 26, Sloane-street, Pimlico, and described himself as " a gentleman of fortune," was placed at the bar on the following charge : Miss Rose 31‘Kenzie, a young lady of very interesting appearance, and whose connections are of very high respectability , stated that she was residing at No. 66, Jermyn-streot, St. James's. About half-past eleven - o'clock last night, she hurriedly left home to fetch a doctor for her sister, who had been suddenly taken ill, and was, as she believed, in a dying state ; and, as she was hastily proceeding along Jermyn-street, she met the defendant, who, as she was passing him, caught her round the waist in an indecent manner, and sought to detain her ; but, although greatly frightened and shocked at the instant, she broke from him by niain force, and ran back as far as Bury-street, where, haying closely pursued, lie came up with her, and would, no doubt, again have grossly insulted her, but that police-constable No. 173, of the C division, came up at -the instant and protected her. The constable stated that Miss M'Kenzie was in a very frightened and exhausted state, and obliged to support her self by leaning against the side of one of the houses. The defendant said lie had made a mistake in the party, and on his telling him he ought to apologise if he had insulted the lady, lie said, " What ! I apologise for insulting a beastly woman ?" and afterwards called the complainant a d—d nasty, stinking, beastly, common w—, on which he was taken into custody. . . The defendant said he was very sorry if he had misbe haved himself, but the fact was he supposed lie had taken a glass of wine too much: • Mr. MALTBY said his conduct was scandalous and dis graceful in the extreme. He was fined 5/., or one month's imprisonment with hard labour.—The fine was immediately paid. The Rev. Thomas llanbury, from Oxfordshire, and a rector belonging to the - Established Church, was charged with hav ing been found at half-past 11 o'clock last night in Bury street, St. James's, so beastly drunk that he was quite inca pable of taking care of himself; he was, therefore, locked up in the station-house. The defendant was tined 15s. for being drunk, whiCh he directly paid and was discharged. This is his fourth appearance before this Court within the last three years, on charges of drunken, disorderly, add riotous conduct in the public streets at midnight, in some instances, accom panied with violent assaults. The fines imposed on those occasions, were 51., 31., and V. which he instantly paid ; he appears to be about sixty years of age. MAR YLEBONE. Henry Date, Robert Billars, and William BlicA, three re spectable tradesmen, and Charles Price, an omnibus driver, were charged with assaulting James Flamanck, a carpenter, residing at No. 4, Ebury-square, Pimlico, and his friend Philip Cornish, in the Harcourt Arms public house, Har court-street, Paddington. The complainants said that they had gone into the skittle ground, and after playing a few games they offered the man who had put up the pins 2d., and the prisoners, who were there, shut the door, and said they ought to pay the man 6d. They (complainants) got frightened, and went into the par lour, and there the assault complained of was committed. Daw and Price were positively sworn to, but the coin plaimmts couldnot identify Billars and Blick as having struck them—they were, therefore, discharged; and Mr. Rawlinson ordered the prisoners Daw and Price to find bail for their ap pearance at the sessions, if an indictment were preferred against them, The parties then went outside, but, in a short time the complainants returned, and said that the prisoners were willing to give V. to the poor-box, if they (the com plainants) forebore ulterior proceedings. With the Magis trate'a leave, they would wish the prisoners to be discharged. On those conditions, Mr. RAWLINSON consented, and the money was at once paid. Mary Ann Davis, a lady's-maid, was charged by her late mistress with having robbed her of a valuable lava brooch, in a gold setting, and other articles. A duplicate for the above article was found in the prisoner's possession. Mrs. Storer, 5, Hyde Park-street, identified the brooch as her property. Prisoner—That brooch I bought front a Jew pedlar in the New-road. He asked ss. for it, and I gave him 2s. 6d. for it- Mr.. Storer produced a bracelet belonging to the same set, and the brooch was found to match. They had been got from Naples, and were very rare. The prisoner was remanded till Thursday next. UNION-HALL. - - William ale. ayoung manwith a scar across his nose was charged with committing a violent assault on his father the preceding day. It appeared the defendant is the son of highly respectable parents, who some time since furnished him with a situation on board an Indianian, but his conduct was so bad that he was dismissed. Since then he has been leading an idle, dis solute life, and ashore time ago was committed to the county gaol for assaulting his father. Yesterday the prisoner was liberated from gaol, and he immediately commenced knock ing at his father's door, and wanted to force his way into the house, and behaved in such a violent way that it was deemed necessary to send for a policeman. Enraged at this circum stance, the prisoner attacked his father, striking him, and also a gentleman who interfered for his protection. The prisoner. in a most impudent manner, contended that he had a just right to seek shelter under his father's roof, but this being denied, he was compelled to resort to force fcr the purpose. Mr. TRAILL said, the prisoner being of age, he had no claim upon his father, particularly as he had forfeited it by hia scandalous conduct. With a view, therefore, to put a stop to the prisoner's violence, he should find two sureties of 50/. each to keep the peace, and be imprisoned until such sureties were fund. William Smith, a hulking-looking fellow, was charged with wilfully breaking a pane of plate glass, value 41., in the win dow of Messrs.. Gregory and hackman, in the Westminetav road. The . p'risoner deliberately took up a stone, and, throwing it with all his farce against a pane of glass, - exelaimod, it to be sent to gaol !" Mr. TEAILL asked the pri3oner why he committed such a act i deatloyiDg glar4 tolho alaciat of C 14191414 . , to a man wlio had given him no cause for doing such injury ? Prisoner—l have been starving about the streets, and thought that was the best way to get shelter in a gaol. Mr. TRAIL!, having condemned the conduct of the de ! fendant, inflicted a penalty of 4/. on him, and in default com mitted him to gaol. • LLOYD'S SHIPPING.

OF THE editMANI IN 1842.—PROCEEDS OF SAI,: - ; DETAINED 13' THE PORIUGUESE GOVEI“AI ENT. The toth , wine copy of a letter, transmitted to Lloyd's, refers tome dete ,- ,tioiny the Portunese Gov ,, rnment, f a t.un of money, the proceeds of the sale of a part of the cargo of the Ch,tharn, wrecked at Figuera, in November, 1842. Tht , tirecmStance has created a good deal of imtet est in the cOurcercial world ; and some months back there appeared, under a similar head, part cf the correspondence between the representatives of the parties claimiog to be interested in the proceeds of the sale, and the Portugliese Government and her Majesty's Government. From the prompt interference of her Majesty's Government .in the affair at that time, there appeared every likelihood of its being speedily and satisfactorily arranged ; but from the following official communication from the Foreign-office, it will be seen t 2 be still unsettled. It appears that in reply to the in structions of Lord Aberdeen to Lord Howard de Walden, her Majesty's Minister at Lisbon upon the subject, that the Portuguese Government had offered to pay into the hands of her Majesty's Consul at Lisbon, or any Agent of Lloyd's, or to any o:her person representing the ge neral interests of all concerned in the wreck, on their assuming all the responsibility of the due partition of the sum, and giving the Portuguese Government a formal release from any further claims with reference to unre presented parties. Messrs. Pendell and Co. do not re present all the parties interested in the whole of the proceeds of the wreck, and it is believed are unwilling to give such security : " Foreign-office, April 15, 1844. " Gentlemen—l am directed by the Rol of Aber deen to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 17th of January last, requesting that her Majesty's Mi nister at Lisbon might be instructed to demand the un conditional payment to Messrs. Rendell and Co. of the motley due to the persons interested on account of the proceeds, of the sale of a part of the cargo of the Chatham. _ " And I am directed by Lord Aberdeen to state to you, in reply, that as Messrs. Rendell end Co. appear to be neither the proprietors, nor the duly authorised agents of the proprietors, of some p - ortions of the goods which were wrecked, his Lordship is of opinion that her Ma jesty's Government Are_ not entitled, under the treaty of 1842, to demand the unconditional payment to Messrs. Rendell of the whole of the proceeds in question. Ali that her Majesty's Government can justly require is, that the Portuguese Government shall pay to Messrs. Rendell such sums as are due to the parties who have constitute d them agents for.the purpose of receiving the money so due, and of giving a release for the tame. I am, therefore, to acquaint you that Lord Aber deen will send instructicns .to the above effect to Lord Howard de Walden, her Majesty's Minister at Lisbon.
