RUSSELL V. LORD G. DENTINCK. Mr. Bovxm, asked if he was to understand that the witness was in his Lordship's hands. Baron PARKE—Yes. Examination continued—Kent trained Gaper. He is now trainer to the Duke of Richmond and Lord George Bentinck. I remember making some bets about Gaper. Mr. PETERSDORFF—Do you recollect making any with Hill ? This morning having been appointed for the trial of the above cause, a good deal of interest was created, and a great number of gentlemen connected with the turf were preseht, and appeared to take great interest in the proceedings. Mr. Platt, Mr. Petersdorff, and Mr. E. James, were for the plaintiff ; Mr. Peacock and Mr. Baldwin appeared for the defendant. Witness—Must I answer that question ? Baron PARKE—You must answer every question that will not eliminate yourself, but you are not bound to answer any that will do so, or that will be likely to sub ject you to prosecution. You must answer this question. 'Witness—l had several bets with Hill. WELLINGTON BOOTS, TO MEASURE. Best Quality, finest French Calf-skin, ONE GUINEA, at STUNT'S, 57, Strand, for CASH ONLY. SALES BY AUCTIoN. Mr. JAMES opened the Henryadings. The plaintiff in this cause was Mr. Charle s H 'Russell, and W. G. S. Bentinck, Esq., commonly called Lord George Ben tinclr., was the defendant. The declaration stated that one Jehn Day did, on the 31st May, 1843, by unlawfully betting on a horse race, lose the sum of 3,000/. to the defendant, and that he paid that sum over to him ; and that he did not, within the period of three months, sue the said defendant for the recovery of the money which he had so lost ; and that, therefore, the plaintiff was en titled to sue for, and recover, from the defendant, the said sum of 3,000/., and treble the amount, making altogether 12,000/. The declaration also stated that one Henry Hill had lost the sum of 3,0001. to the defendant, and had paid him that amount. The plea put on the record by the defendant was the general issue. Mr. PETERSDORFF—Had you .any about the horse Gaper ? Witness—l decline to answer the question. Mr. PETERSDORFF—Had you any bets with him in which you lost ? You must answer thit question, as it cannot criminate you. Baron PARKE—Yes, where you lost you must answer. Where you won it is a different thing, and you are not then bound to answer. _ LEASEHOLDS, SANSOME-FIELDS, WORCESTER.

Mr. Baron Pat= said that the case must come under that statute, for the first section was passed to stay all proceedings in all actions which may have been begun at the period of its passing; and the second section went ,41 to say, " that in case an action or actions which have already been commenced shall be further prosecuted, or in case any such action or actions shall be commenced after the passing of this Act, it shall be lawful for the defendant to plead the general issue, and to give this Act in evidence under it ; and thereupon the judge before whom such action shall be tried shall direct, and he is hereby authorised and empowered to direct, a ver dict or verdicts, and judgment or judgments, to be en tered for such defendant or defendants." The present case, added the Learned Judge, clearly came under the statute. Mr. PEACOCK said, that in consequence of what had fallen from his Lordship, he begged to say that Lord George Bentinck, the defendant in the present case, was most anxious that it should be tried, and he did not in any way desire to avail himself of the provisions of the new statute. Mr. Baron PARKE repeated his opinion that the statute was an answer to the case. Baron PARKE—Have you bad no bets with the de fendant about this horse Gaper? Witness—None, what ever, my Lord. Mr. PETERSDORFF—Did you not make a bet of 20,0001. to 3,0001. with Hill about Gaper ? Witness—lf I answer that question I feel that I should implicate myself. Baron PARKE—Not if you lost the bet. Mr. PEACOCK—On behalf of the defendant I should object to his answering the question upon another ground. Baron PARKE—Very well, but he must answer as to any bet he may have lost. Witness—l lost so many bets upon that race, that I cannot recollect distinctly any thing about them. It is impossible for me to say anything positive about it. Baron PARKE said that some particular bet should be mentioned. A DWELLING-HOUSE, WAREHOUSE, and BUILDINGS, in Mardol, Shrewsbury, in the occupation of Messrs. Bell and Co , to bacco manufacturers ; several Gardens at Kingsland, near Shrews bury ; Cottages, Malt-house, and Ground at Welchpool, occupied by John Newell, and others ; a House and Land in Landrinio, occupied by Richard Williams ; and a Piece of Land, containing 3a. lr. 36p., at Varchoel, in Guildsfleld, occupied by Mary Williams, all in the county of Montgomery ; a Parcel of Land and Cottage at Fontsford hill, Pontsbury ; a Ilouse and Land called Newhouse Farm, in Bet tws ; another Ilouse and Land, called Sunny Bank, in Bettws ; seve ral Pieces of Land on Rhos Goch, and the Ale Oak Bank, contain- ing together 131 a. Or. 23p., lately part of the common lands of the lordship and forest of Clun, but now inclosed ; and a House and Gar den at Ford, all in the county of Salop. The above premises were late the property of Mr. William Jones, late of Shrewsbury, banker, deceased, and are of freehold tenure, ex cept the House and Garden at Ford, which are of copyhold tenure. Particulars and conditions of sale may shortly be had (gratis), at the Chambers of the said Master, in Southampton-buildings, Chan cery-lane, London ; of Messrs. Weymouth and Green, of Angel court, Throgmorton-street, solicitors ; and of Mr. Robert Wilson, Copthall-buildings, London, solicitors ; at the place of sale ; and at the principal Inns in the neighbourhood of the property offered for sale. • Mr. PETEMSDORFF—WeII, did you not lose a bet of 3,0001. to 20,0001. ? Witness —lf I understand, you, my Lord, you said I was not bound to answer any questions that I thought would affect me. I think this one will, and therefore I decline to answer it.—(A laugh.) Baron PARKE—It cannot affect you to state what bets you lost. W itness—Then I lost a great many. They want me to say that I had this bet with the defendant, but it is not the case. I had no bet with his Lordship about Gaper. Mr. PETERSDORFF—I ask you whether you had not the bet I have mentioned with some one ? Witness—l decline to answer the question. Baron PARKE intimated that the question should be answered. TO TYPE-FOUNDERS STEREOTYPERS, PRINTERS, &c. MR. L. A. LEWIS will SELL by AUCTION, on the Premises, Bishop's-court, Old Bailey, on TUESDAY, the 13th inst., A very compact TYPE and STEREOTYPE FOUNDRY, with all he usual appendages for carrying on both branches. Also, a capital Printing Machine, 1,500 Metal Ornaments, with Specimen-books. Particulars and Catalogues of Mr. L. A. Lewis, 125, Fleet-street. Mr. JAMES said that the defendant had not pleaded this upon the record, and therefore, he apprehended, he had no right to fall back upon the statute. The only plea upon the record was the general issue. After some further discussion, Mr. PLATT said he be lieved the defendant had no desire to avail himself of the operation of the Act. Mr. PEACOCK said he had not. When the Bill was before the House. of Commons, his Lordship h a d vo t e d in its favour, and on his vote being objected to on the ground of his being an i n terested party, he at once de clared that it was not his intention to avail hi mse lf o f the statute on his three approaching trials. Mr. Baron PARKE (after a few minutes considera tion) said lie would try the case and reserve the question of law if it should be necessary to do so. UNDER EXECUTION, SMALL CELLAR OF FINE OLD WINES, REMOVED FROM BROMPTON. TO WINE MERCHANTS, HOTEL KEEPERS, AND OTHERS. MR. J. IZOD will Sell by Auction,, at the Auc tion Mart, Bartholomew-lane, August 9, 1844, at Twelve lot One precisely, without reserve, The Wines, comprising fine Old Crusted Port, Rori's Port, Gold, Pale, and Brown Cold Sherries, East India Sherry, West India Ma deira, Claret, Hock, Champagne, &c., and other choice Wines. Mr. Izod begs to draw the attention of his friends to this sale, as being an opportumtv worthy attention. These Wines may be tasted, and samples had, on the morning of sale, and Catalogues had at the Mart, and of Mr. Izod, at his office, 2, Wanford-court, Throgmorton-street, City. Witness—l have laid so many bets that I cannot re collect them all. The Learned Counsel told the jury that I had had 10,0001. to 1001., and that I lost. Now, I want to know in what way lam to answer. I can not tell all the bets, I lost so many, but I wish to protect my friends.—(Laughter.) Baron PARKE—You cannot claim protection for your friends. You can only do so for yourself. Witness—l did not lay that bet myself, but I wish not to implicate myself or my friends. Baron Penxn—You must answer all questions that do not implicate yourself, and without reference to any one else, or how it may implicate them. Witness—Then, my Lord, I claim tho protection of the Court under the fresh Act of Parliament.—(Laughter.) Baron PARKE (smiling)—But that Act is rather against you. The witness at length said that he told a person to hedge some of his bets for him, his object being to get out of the scrape he had got into by his betting 20,0001. to 250/. against him ; and he said he thought it was a very good friend indeed who could assist him in . this respect. He went on to say that his friend did " hedge" for him, but he was not present when he made the bets. They might have been made on the Downs or in the town of Epsom. After the race he gave this friend money to settle his bets, and he had no doubt that he did so. The sum might be 1001. er it might be I,OOOL, but his betting-book upon that race would tell the exact amount. He had sought for that book before he came from home, but could not find it, and he did not know where it was. Mr. Gully arranged his accounts for him, and he gave him the balance. Cross-examined—l should say that the book I cannot find contained all the bets I lo.t upon that event, and, therefore, if I had won any bets the book would have shown it. lam not in the habit of keeping my betting books any length of time after they are settled. The money that I handed over to my friend was to satisfy a number of bets, and not any particular one. Some of the bets I settled myself. I laid bets against Gaper and hedged some of them myself. The bets on the Derby are settled on the following Tuesday at Tattersall's.. All bets on the Derby are " play or pay," and where a horse is withdrawn the bets are paid. If a horse dies bets are paid, but if his owner dies they are not. I have seen the plaintiff, but am not acquainted with him. Re-examined--I did not bring my action to recover back the money I had lost. I cannot say how much mo ney I paid to Mr. Gully. I have settled with Hill, and have paid him perhaps as much as 4001. or 5001. Mr. Henry Hill was then called, but he refused to be sworn, and said that his solicitor had advised him to do so. _ EDINBURGH HIGH SCHOOL. The following is the speech of the Lord Provost at the examination of the scholars last week. It may be interesting to our readers to state, that the pre sent Lord Provost is the eminent publisher in Edin burgh, and that some of the most distinguished men of the age were reared at this school ; among others, Lord Brougham, Lord Jeffrey, Lord Cockburn, the Lord Justice Clerk, Mr. Horner, Mr. Rutherford, Mr. Alison, and, last, not least—for he has made, we believe, a fortune surpassing that of all named—Mr. Matheson, the celebrated Canton merchant, and Mem ber for Ashburton : Mr. BoVILL then rose and addressing his Lordship, said that he appeared on behalf of some of the gentlemen who had been subpoenaed as witnesses for the plaintiff, and he should submit that his Lordship had no power to try the case. Mr. Baron PARKE said it was a novel feature in a court of justice, to see witnesses represented by a gen tleman at the bar. He had no doubt the Learned Gen tleman `would give his clients very good advice, but the Court could not hear any argument in their behalf. Mr. BoviLL then submitted that the action was alto gether susperseded by the statute. Mr. Baron PARKE said he should reserve the question of law, if it were necessary to do so. Mr. PUTT thought it right to say that he did not suppose the noble defendant was in any way a party to this attempt to get rid of the case, and he could not imagine that he was in any way a party to the appli cation that had just been made. Mr. BoviEL said that Lord George Bentinck was cer tainly not a party to it. The LORD PROVOST, addressing the Rector, Dr. Carson, said—Sir, those who have been privileged to witness the exhibition of this day cannot fail to be impressed with the immense advantages which this school confers upon Edinburgh.—(Great applause.) From its walls have come forth men whose names are now illustrious in science and in art, who have held the highest situations in this kingdom, mid whoco influence has been felt over the whole civilised world; so that the wisdom and the morality gathered here has not been confined to the individuals who received it, but has been spread abroad, not only over this country, but through other lands; so that it may be truly said this school is a light, not to lighten Edin burgh alone, but the world at large.—(Great applause.) To you, Sir, and to your colleagues, we consider ourselves eminently indebted. It is im possible that the pupils of this school could have made the progress th e y h av e done, unless intelligence, affection, and zeal, on the part of the teachers had been eminently manifested.—(Applause.) We hear much said of the advantages of schools in other quar ters ; but I am bold to say that there is not in Scot• land, or in the three kingdom, a literary establish ment which stands higher, or is better fitted for the discharge of the duties it has to perform, than the High School of Edinburgh.—(Applause.) I am proud to say that the sons of the humble citizens of Edinburgh may here acquire an education as good as is elsewhere received by the sons of the highest nobles in the land.—(Loud applause.) We have witnessed with great satisfaction the progress which has been made in all the classes ; but I was particularly struck, Sir, with the attainments made by the class which has been under your care. I recollect when I was in that class—alas ! now some forty or fifty years ago—(Great applause)—and it seems to me that . the boys on the lowest form now are better Greek scholars than those on the highest form were then ; so that here is a proof that the school not only maintains its efficiency, but that it is making progress and keeping equal pace with any other institution.—(Applause.) I have to say for myself that I regard this school with gratitude and af fection ; and I shall never cease in that way to regard it, because to it I am indebted for all the advantages I have obtained in the course of my after life.--(Ap plause.) Any other place would have required larger expenditure for education than my parents could boast of; and I am proud to think that here the sons of the humblest meet on equal terms with the sons of the highest, and compete with them for the highest prizes. —(Great applause.) I can only say to the young gentlemen, that I trust they will make such a use of the education they re ceive here as will do credit not only to themselves, but to the school where they received it. There is one point, however, to which I think it of consequence to advert. We often hear it said, of what use is Greek and Latin to boys, most of whom are not to spend their time in literary professions, but are to be en gaged in commerce or trade ? I would ask those who have witnessed the exhibition of this day if the edu cation given is confined to Latin and Greek ? Have we not had an opportunity, everMn this hall, of seeing the progress made by the boys in English com position ? From one we have had a philo sophical essay; from others we have had poems which would do credit to much more ex• perienced versifiers ; and we have here taught, besides, geography, arithmetic, writing, and, in fact, all the branches that are necessary for a young gentleman to acquire. And it is farther to be borne in mind, that when a boy acquires a knowledge of Latin and Greek, he has not only acquired those languages, but his mind has by that act of acquisi tion become disciplined and prepared for any intel lectual exercise to which he may be called in any after part of his life.—(Applause.) A boy so disciplined and obliged to give great attention to the exercise of his mental faculties, and who has thus obtained a knowledge of the niceties of language— let the mental powers of that boy be applied to any other purpose in the arts, in commerce, or in trade, and he will find that his previous training has admirably fitted him for the discharge of his duties, in whatever sphere his lot may be cast. I trust, therefore, that my fellow-citizens will not consider that the education afforded in this school is of a limited nature ; for, independent of the direct benefits of classical education, it enables those who engage in it, when they hr e got hold of this instrument of language, more easily to master any other subject in which they may be engaged. I trust that the pupils of this school will so conduct themselves as not only to carry off a large amount of knowledge from this seminary, but that they will, in after life, do credit to themselves, to their friends, and to their country. Mr. PLATT had no doubt that nob/ennm -wan in on ign,n-nnee of it, but it showed the sympathy enter tained by the witnesses for the-defendant, and the diffi• culties they intended to throw in the way of proving the case, which they had the power to make out. The ap plication that had been made was certainly one of un unusual novelty, and that novelty was increased by the Learned Counsel whom those witnesses had employed telling the Learned Judge he had no power to try the cause. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to state that this action was brought for the purpose of putting in force an Act of Parliament which been con sidered a most salutary measure by their an cestors—its object being to suppress and put an end to gambling, and he thought the jury would agree with him, that whe re t h e humble gambler who used to infest the race-course was put down by the police, care ought to be taken that there were not others in the community who were permitted to commit the same act for which.the others were punished. The jury he was sure would feel with him, that in this country the law ought to be equally administered to all. The present action was brought against Lord George Ben tinck, to recover certain p ena l t i es w hi c h h a d been in curred by him, in conse quence of h i s h av i ng laid and won a certain bet of 3,0001., upon the Derby in 1843 . The betting upon horse-r ac i ng h a d assu med quite a people not only made up books mer cantile feature, and for themselves, but employed ot h ers to go a b ou t and make bets for them, and amon gs t t hi s class o f persons there seemed to be a man named Hill, who was a general agent of the Noble Lord. In the spring of last year a well-known trainer of race horses, and equally well-known on the turf, appeared to have entertained a notion that a horse named Gaper, the property of the defendant, would not win the Derby, and he made two bets upon that event, one of 10,000/. to 100/., and another of 10,000/. to 150/., on the winning of the race ; however, it seemed that Mr. Day, the person he referred to, began to quake, for Garr had very much risen in the public estimation, and he therefore became very anxious to what was called hedge" the bets he had made against him. At this time Day stood to lose 20,0001. if Gaper had lost the race, and if he won, he would only have been a winner of 2501. Being anxious to diminish his risk, Day applied to a person named Hill, who was known betting Day /. agent, and even t ua lly Hill laid him a bet of 20,0 00 to 3,0001, against the horse, the result being thatas a was in th e position of los i ng 2 , 7501. if the horse lost, and of winni ng noth i ng if h e won , a nd the only advantage he had ga i ned was to di m i n i s h hi s c hance of losing 20,000/. to only l os i ng 2.7501. It would be seen from what he st a t e d that the b et was ma d e through the instrumentality of Day and Hill, and therefore these were the only witnesses who could make out the plaintiff's case. and the jury would, therefore, see what a difficulty he was placed in. If he succeeded in making out the facts as he had stated then he appre hended that the case would come clearly within the statute of the 9th of Anne. Ile should put the witnesses in the box, and if he made out the facts he did not see that the jury could have any difficulty in coming to the conclusion that the defendant was liable to the penalti.2s sought to be recovered from him ; and it was not because the defendant was a Nobleman, and stood in a high rank of society, that he would escape the punishment, while a man less ennobled or less possessed of the world's means would have it visited upon him. The jury had only one duty to perform, which was to apply the law of England equally against the poor and the rich. John Day was then called. Mr. Bovn.L—Will you allow me—. Baron PARKE.—What do you wish to say, Mr. Bovill ? Mr. BoviLL—My advice to Mr. Day is to decline to be sworn. Baron PARKE (smiling).—What, Mr. Bovill ! Mr. PLATT—If he refuse to be sworn, depend upon it he will be committed, even though you may advise him to give that refusal. Mr. Bovu.r. still urged that Mr. Day might not be sworn, as he might commit himself. Mr. PLATT.—Mr. Day is the loser of the bet—a loser is not liable ; the winner only is liable. Baron PARKE at length ruled that the witness must be sworn, and he said he would reserve all. objections. Mr. Day then addressed the Court, and asked whether his Lordship had decided that he must be sworn ? Baron PARSE said —Certainly. Mr. Day was accordingly sworn and then examined by Mr. Petersdorff. He stated that he was a trainer of race- horses. Mr. PETERSDORFF—nave you ever trained horses for the defendant ? Mr. BoviLL—Don't answer that question.--(Laughter.) Mr. PLATT—Why ? Mr. Bovu.L—Because the reply may be used against him. Mr. Day (to the Court) —Am I bound to answer these questions ? They may be used against me, for I am pro ceeded against myself for this very same bet. Baron PAnnm--You need not answer any question that is likely to criminate yourself, but the others you must. Mr. Day—l have been trainer to the defendant, but cannot say exactly when I discontinued to act in that capacity for his Lordship. I was his trainer for three or four years, and down to the last three or four years. I knew his Lordship's horse Gaper when he was entered to run for the Derby in 1843. I did not entertain a very high opinion of his capabilities, and did not think he could win. Baron PARKE said his solicitor had advised him very wrongly, and he must be sworn. The witness said his reason for refusing was, that he was a defendant in an action for the very same bet. After some discussion, the witness was sworn, and be underwent a very long examination, in order to prove that he had made the bet of 20,0001. to 3,0001. with Mr. Day, as agent of the defendant, but be did not admit the fact. He admitted that he had hedged some. bets for Day about Gaper, and, in the course of his examination, he said that the amount of penalties sought to be re covered from him by qui tam, actions were as much as between 50,0001. and 60,0001., 12,0001. of which was for this very bet. He had never heard the defendant say that he had made a bet of 20,0001. to 3,000 L against Gaper, but he believed he had done so. Gaper lost the race. He said that he received so much money at the settling that he really could not now tell what he re ceive, or from whom he received it. WORKS ON HORTICULTURE, Published by WM. S.

The said two seats have now been unfilled for nearly three sessions, and, consequently, the number of Members is reduced at prom; to 656, to be. He had known John Day for many years, and he asked him to hedge some large sums for him about Gaper, and he took a bet of 20,0001. to 3,0001. about Gaper with the defendant. He had several bets with other persons also about the same horse. He took the bet of Lord George, aad witness himself was responsible for it. He did not make this bet for Day, but for himself. He subsequently lot Day have that bet, but originally it was made as his own account, and not on that of Day. Baron PARKE—Then we are to understand that you took this bet of Lord George on your own account, and afterwards handed the bet to Day ? Witness—Yes, my Lord. When I offered the bet to Day, lie refused it for some time, as the odds were not enough for him. Al though, however, he eventually took the bet, I was responsible to Lord George for it, and if Day had not settled with him, I must have paid it myself'. I may state that a circumstance of that sort occurred to me this year with Colonel Anson. I had made a bet of 2,4001. to 3001. with Colonel Higgins. The odds were not enough for Colonel Anson, and therefore I had to pay the bet myself. I did not settle the particular bet about which I have been asked with John Day. I had seen Day at Epsom that morning before I made the bet with Lord George, and it may have been in consequence of what passed between us that I made the bet. It is, however, not possible at this distance of time that I can tell whether I might not have made the bet without such conversation, but, if it had been in consequence of our conversation, it would be a very customary proceeding. When the race was won Day stood the whole of this bet. By Mr. PEACOCK—What I meant by the last answer was, that Day stood to me and I stood to Lord George. I alone was responsible to his Lordship for the bet. If either party to a bet dies, the bet is off, and if I had died, this bet of mine with Lord George would have been off, and eke versa. Baron PARSE—Had Day anything to do with Lord George about that bet? Witness—Nothing whatever. I was responsible to Lord George, and his Lordship was responsible to me. By Mr. PEACOCK—If Day had died, the bet between Lord George and myself would have stood, and the re sponsibility of Day - to me would have ceased. By a Juror—Then you must have paid Lord George? Witness—Of course. Baron PARKE—Then you took the bet for yourself, and not in any way as the agent of Day. IN itness— I es, my Lord. Baron PARKE—If such a thing were possible as that you were unable to pay the bet, would Lord George have had any remedy against Day? Witness—Undoubtedly not. Baron PARKE—There is an end of the case, then. The simple question is, whether, after what Mr. Gully has stated, he made the bet for Day or for himself ? ADVERTISEMENTS INSERTED in ALL THE THREE PAPERS, Morning Noon, and Night, thereby insuring a TOWN and COUNTRY CIRCULATION, at ONE CHARGE. Mr. Gully—Lord George would not have let me off in the event of Day not paying. I did not settle the bet with Lord George in a direct manner ; and, as far as I can recollect, I cannot possibly say how it was settled. I desired Day to pay part of the money over to Hill. There is no doubt it was settled, but I cannot tell in what way. Baron PARKE—Then you told Day to pay part of the money to Hill ? Mr. Gully—Yes. It is com mon to transfer bets. Baron PARKE-But the question is, whether you would have made the bet with Lord George if Day had not spoken to you about hedging ? Mr. Gully—Very likely not ; but I might. A Juror—Day stated that he employed Gully as an agent to hedge for him.. Baron PARKE—Yes, he said so, certainly. A Juror—At the time of making this bet, did you tell Lord George that it was for Day ? Mr. Gully—No, I did not. Baron PARKE—Then, I understand you to say that whether Day took that bet or not, was dependent on a subsequent arrangement with him ? Mr. Gully— Certainly. By a Juror—l felt bound to offer this bet to Day in a friendly way. lam not a recognised agent for batting. Baron PARKE—Did you consider yourself at the time you made this bet the recognised agent of Day ? Mr. Gully—Certainly not. Baron PARKE—This, then, is the state of the case:— The plaintiff in this action has to make out that it was with Day, or with Gully, as the agent of Day, that the defendant made this bet, but Mr. Gully states that he made the bet on his own account. The plaintiff, therefore, fails in establishing his case. As to the pay ment of the money, there is reasonable evidence for the jury to conclude that it was paid. The jury then immediately returned a verdict for the defendant. There wag a slight demonstration of appro bation, which was momentarily repressed. PALEN V. GATHERCOLE. This was an action brought by the Rev. Mr. Palen, the Rector of Stifford, in Essex, against the Rev. Mr. Gathercole, the proprietor and editor of a newspaper, called the Church Intelligencer, for a libal published in that paper. Mr. Sergeant Shea and Mr. E. James were for the plaintiff; Mr. Sergeant Channell appeared for the de fendant. Mr. JAMES having opened the pleadings, Mr. Baron GURNEY suggested that this was a case which might be disposed of with much .more satisfaction by private arrangement than by going to trial. Mr. Sergeant SHEA said he was afraid that the matter had already been made too public, and that there was no course now left hut to take the opinion of the jury. After the case had been opened, a verdict for 405., by consent, was taken for the plaintiff. _ _ Mr. Baron GURNEY expressed his opinion that the proper course had been taken on both sides. MIDLAND CI RCUIT.--Wunoick, Aug. S. Wm. Jones, aged 25, was charged with having, on the Bth of April last, feloniously cut and stabbed Thomas Aston with a knife, with intent to do him some bodily harm and damage. Mr. Willinore conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Miller the defence. It appeared, on the day in question, Mr. Acton was proceeding along a street in Birmingham, when he per ceived a number of persons scuffling and fighting toge ther ; upon interfering, he was attacked by the prisoner, who with a knife struck Acton upon the head, inflicting serious injury. For the prisoner several witnesses were called, who attempted to prove Jones was the injured, and not the offending, party. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty. Sentence post poned. Wm. Stanley Warner, aged 27, a young man of fashionable appearance, pleaded guilty to a charge of stealing, on the 25th of July last, twelve promissory notes of the Bank of England for 1001. each, the property of the Birmingham Town and District Banking Com pany. The prisoner was a clerk in the District Banking Company. On the afternoon of the 25th of July he left the bank, and, not returning, suspicions were excited, and search being made, it was found 1,200/. were missing. Placards were immediately distributed over the town and through the country. Two or three days after the rob bery a young man was seen driving very furiously through the streets of Chester. The horse and gig were stopped, and the driver being intoxicated he was taken to the station-house as a matter of precaution. His person also was searched, so that whatever property he had about him might be taken care of. In one of his pockets there was discovered 1,0001. wDrth of notes, be sides gold. The policeman then referred to a placard in his possession, and found the prisoner to be the party charged s ith the bank robbery at Birmingham. He was then taken into custody, and brought back. The Learned JUDGE postponed passing sentence for the present. Jane Dan,,an, a lady-like looking woman, aged 24, was charged with tmring, on the 18th of May last, feloniously conveyed into the county gaol at Warwick a lifting jack, a spanner, two saws, and one pair of scis sors, being instruments proper to facilitate the escape of prisoners, and delivered to Benjamin Bannan, her husband, then in custody, having been convicted of felony. _ _ Mr. Niellor was for the prosecution ; Mr. Miller the defence. The husband of the prisoner was convicted at the last assizes of making, or causing to be made, certain dies, being a resemblance to the observe and reverse sides of a shilling. A point of law having been raised against the legality of the conviction, the prisoner was remanded back to gaol. and it was pending the decision of that point the offence alleged in the indictment was com mitted. It would appear that Mrs. Bannan applied at the gaol for permission to see her husband in the pre • sence of an officer, and it is supposed that at that inter view the iticles mentioned in the indictment found their way to Bannan, the husband—the object being to aid the husband in his escape from prison. The governor of the gaol had some suspicion all was not right, and on Mrs. Bannan quitting her husband she was asked into a room, and Benjamin Bannan was searched, and the various articles described found upon him. Jane Bannan was then taken before a magistrate, and committed for trial. An objection was taken to the indictment, of which the Learned Judge took a note, observing he would not stop the case, but still he had so strong an opinion in respect of it, that if the prisoner was convicted he would allow her to go at large on bail.—The prisoner, however, was acquitted. NORTH WALES ClRCUlT.—Chester,Auy. 7. (Before Baron ROLFE.) A rather respectable-looking man, named William Neale, aged 29, a tailor, was indicted for a misdemeanour, in having had criminal connexion with Ann Smith, a girl under the age of twelve years. The evidence of the prosecutrix showed that early in May last she went to reside at the house of the prisoner as nurse, he being a married man having two infant chil dren. She slept in a room by herself up stairs, and in the middle of the night the prisoner went to her bed, where he perpetrated the offence. Mr. TOWNSEND proceeded to contend that as the evi dence, if it was to be relied on, proved that a rape, which was a felony at common law, had been committed, the indictment for the statutable misdemeanour could not be sustained. A singular scene then occurred, the counsel for the prisoner endeavouring to prove from the lips of the pro secutrix that the capital offence had been committed, whilst Mr. Yardley, for the prosecution, endeavoured to elicit the fact of consent, in order to reduce the crime to a misdemeanour. _ _ _ Mr. J. E. Donlevy, M.D., a surgeon and physician, practising at Liscard, was then called, and he proved that violence had been used towards the girl, and disease communicated. Mr. TOWNSEND contended that the indictment was wrongly framed, inasmuch as the crime of rape had been proved, and that the lesser offence was merged in the greater. His Lonnsnrp said, supposing the full crime of rape to be proved, every word in the present indictment was true, and in his opinion the offence was complete under the statute whether the girl consented or not. If, how ever, the jury convicted the prisoner, and upon consulta tion with Mr. Justice Coleridge, he had any doubt upon the subject, he would arrest the judgment, in order to obtain the opinion of the Judges upon the point. His (the Learned Judge's) impression was, that the Legis lature, in passing the Act, intended it to meet those cases where it might be doubtful whether a female between the ages of ten and twelve did or d id not consent. The counsel for the prosecution asked whether, if every point in the indictment was proved and more, that would vitiate it ? The Learned JUDGE-4 think not. Mr. TOWNSEND then addressed the jury, contending that they could not fi nd the prisoner guiltyif they were of opinion that the offence was committed against the consent of the prosecutt:ix. The JUDGE told the jury that he was of opinion the consent of the prosecutrix was wholly immaterial. The prisoner was found Guilty, and the jury being asked, at the request of Mr. Townsend, whether they were of opinion the offence was committed with or with out the consent of the girl, replied, without. His LORDSIIIP, after expressing his regret that he had not power to pass a more severe sentence for so great a crime, ordered the prisoner to be imprisoned and ' kept to hard labour for the term of two years. Low FARES ON RAILWAYS.—I n his examination before the Select Committee on Railways, Mr. Rowland Hill, of Post-office celebrity (and who is a Director of the London and Brighton Railway), was asked by Mr. Horstnan if he believed that a great reduction of fares throughout the whole railways in the country would be followed by a very large increase of traffic? His answer was, " I think that all experience goes to show that such would be the result." In answer to a further ques tion, the witness admitted that the first effect of a great reduction of fares would be to diminish the receipts, but he was " inclined to think that they would bd gradually made up, to a very great extent at least."—Railtray Record. ~~~~ LITY in the METROPOLIS.

The attention of the Senatus Academicus of the University of Edinburgh has lately been directed, to various cases of the fraudulent assumption of their medical honours by persons who either hive never become graduates at all, or who have obtained diplomas from academical bodies not very scrupulous, and not even possessing the means of imparting a medical education. Regarding the false assumption of their degree not only as criminal in itself, but as calculated to lower the estimation in which Doctors of Medicine of this University have long been held, the Senatus Academicus have resolved to employ the most effectual means of defeating all attempts to practise this discreditable imposition. And, as an example of the consequences to be expected from such attempts, it has been thought proper to publish the following case : In 1838, a person named George Haslewood, wish ing to establish himself as a physician at Pau, in the Basses Pyrenees, and pretending to have had the degree of M.D. conferred on him by the University of Edinburgh, obtained the requisite license from the Minister of Public Instruction at Paris; but as suspi cions were excited at Pau with regard to the truth of his representation, an inquiry on the subject was addressed to the Secretary of this University. The answer to the Secretary, being in the negative, was communicated to the Minister of Public Instruction, who, after ordering an investigation, was at first de ceived by an unfounded assurance, that diplomas could be purchased at Edinburgh without even the personal attendance of the candidates, and that the diploma in question had been procured on the pay ment of a large sum of money to a practitioner then at Pau, who was about to retire, and who has since died. The Senatus, on being informed of this audacious and scandalous defence, transmitted to her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs a narrative of the case, accompanied by a re quest that his Lordship would communicate the parti culars to the British Ambassador at Paris, that the French Government might be made fully aware of the facts. In consequence of this application, official information has now been received, that the Ambas sador had transmitted to the French Government the representation of the Senatus, and had subsequently ' ascertained that Mr. Haslewood had surrendered the license which had been previously granted to him, and was about to leave Pau. The Senatus Academicus may probably find it ne cessary to expose some other instances of similar de ceptions which have recently been reported to them. In the meantime they take this opportunity of statin g , that during the whole period of the existence of the Medical School in this University, the Senatus had never once conferred the degree of M.D. except on candidates, who after producing satisfactory eviden ce of having completed a regular course of study in all the branches of medicine, either here or in other Uni versities, have submitted to strict and careful exami nations by the members of the Medical Faculty, and have, in presence of the assembled Senatus, sub scribed the Sponsis Academica, solemnly binding them to uphold the honour of the University, by the faithful observance of its rules, and by the pure and correct exercise of their profosvional dutiog.

T h s beforemorning benchunhappy . o f a a l& s was lcb traces, rl lo c uE h gs a Th r E g t R e up d 'A with the wilful . murder of his father on the 28th of August, 1843, in Cobham-park. On the bench were the following county magistrates :—Rev. George Davies, Chairman ; William Elers, Esq., James Smith, Esq., William Gladdish, Esq., C apta i n Thomas Baker, William 11. Nicholson, Es q., J. Night ingale, Esq., J. G. Bryant, Esq., &c. The evidence having been gone over, the particulars of which have been often published, the prisoner was asked if he had any questions to put, and, with a shake of the head, he said, " No." The magistrates retired for a short time, and on their retu rn th e R ev. Ch a i rman i nquired of the prisoner if he had anything to say why he should not be committed for the offence with which he stands charged ? Prisoner—Oh no, of course not. The pri soner was then committed. Mr. Brown, a solicitor, who attended on behalf of the family of this unfortunate young man, made an application to the Magistrates under the 3d and 4th Victoria, cap. 24, " that if two justices of the peace, and two surgeons, make a report of the insanity of the prisoner to the Secretary of State, he can, upon receipt of it, order the prisoner to be con , fined in some lunatic asylum." The Magistrates inti mated that such a course would be taken. Ladies travelling, or temporarily subjected to any deviation of - equable temperature, will find in Rowland 's Kalydor a renovating and refreshing auxiliary, dispel ling the cloud of langour from the complexion, and immediately affording the pleasing sensation attending restored elasticity of the skin. The distressing and unsightly varieties of cutaneous eruptions are also promptly eradicated by the Kalydor. Spots, pimples, freckles, discolourations, and sallowness, yield to its specific qualities, and are succeeded by a smoothness and transparency of the skin, giving rise to sensations of the utmost pleasure and surprise. Being universally preferred, its consequent great demand excites the cupidity of unprincipled shopkeepers, who give the title of "Genuine" Kalydor to some compounds of their own manufacture, of the most deleterious character, con taining mineral astringents utterly ruinous to the complexion, and by their repellant action endangering health. It is, therefore, imperative on purchasers to see that the words "Rowland's lialydoe are on the wrapper. All others are fraudulent counterfeits 1 1 CAUSES OF DEATH. - 7" riN (liter - and 14 4, PO N :6l 1 1 ;01 A
