At the usual hour, the Judges took their seats ()n the Bench. The SoLicrron-GENEnaL resumed his address, And said—Since addressing the Court on the previous day, he had looked more particularly into the case of We King against Hunt, and found it was an authority in support of that part which charges as conspiracy to excite discontent and disaffection among his Majesty's subjects, and of hatred and contempt towards the Government and Constitution. He then proceeded to comment on the evidence on the part of the Crowe. The next meeting was that in Kilkenny, on the Bth of June. The proceedings of that meeting are published in the Pilot newspaper of the 12th of June, 1843. There is first a long description of the number of persons who attended, next the banners, the flags, the music, and so forth, and then Mr. O'Con nell made a speech, to a part of which he would call attention. " I suppose you have heard of the Duke of Wellington and Sir Robert Peel a h n a d vi d n ee g g e fi t n t i e n g d r a e y . peal. They want to drive us to civil war ; but we are in , la c r o e m d e the d y o N w vo n uld to pre r N a- e r n li t am yo en u t fro o m ne the right, and our plan is to place them in the wrong." Allusion to civil war was made so far back as the year 1834, not by the Members of the present Administra tion, but by certain Members of the Administration of that time. He had stated yesterday what appeared the fair construction of Sir Robert Peel's declaration. Being asked whether it was the intention of the Go vernment to introduce any measure into Parliament 'for the purpose of putting a stop to agitation, Sir R. Peel expressed the reluctance of the Government to apply for any additional power until it should first be ascertained whether the existing law was not in itself sufficient to enable them to conduct the administration of affiiirs in Ireland. This was a plain and intelligible hint to these persons engaged in agitation that— Mr. SHELL here observed that the Learned Counsel not only yesterday went very far out of the ev idenee, but was now adverting to topics which had not the slightest reference to it. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said, he was not aware that he had been alluding to any topic, or to any fact which had not been proved in evidence. Mr. Justice CRAMPTON—You introduced something about the year 1834. Mr. SHELL said, he admitted that great indulgence bad been extended to him by the Crown; nevertheless, he could not avoid observing that the Solicitor-General had no right to advert to the motives of Sir R. Peel; and, as regarded yesterday, the Learned Counsel had no right to tell a jury that, unless there was a verdict for the Crown, coercion would be introduced. Judge CRAMPTON observed that allusion should only be made to that which had been given in evidence. Mr. &MIL said that the Solicitor-General wanted to advert to a speech spoken in Parliament, and from that speech he would draw an inference for the jury. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL—What I intended to say with respect to this speech, was this :—Mr. O'Connell in some of his addresses, which I have had occasion to read to the jury, having justified, or attempted to justify, his acts, adverted to what had been said or uttered in Parliament as to civil war ; my intention was to show that there was no well-grounded reason to ap prehend any such consequence. Mr. O'Connell was not warranted in using the language he did, the observations referred to having been made in Parliament ; and no thing was further from my intention than to held o u t to the jury a threat, that if they did not find a ver dict for the Crown, it would be necessary to resort to any additional powers. I really do not think I stated that which the Learned Counsel has imputed to me. ;If I did, gentlemen of the jury, I beg leave to retract it. All I can say is, that if I did use the words capable of the construction given, I think the observation of my Learned Friend was perfectly justifiable, and any inter ruption, for the purpose of duly guarding the jury, is also perfectly justifiable. What I meant to convey was this—your Lordships will recollect that during these proceedings it has been asserted over and over again that no law was violated. Mr. O'Connell has repeatedly in his speeches asserted that he would keep his fol lowers from the meshes of the law—that no law should be violated. What I meant to convey was this—that it should be decided by an appeal to a legal tribunal whether the law had been violated or not. The question between us and Mr.O'Connell is this—whether what has taken place is reconcileable with the common law of the country. That is the only question which I think I am entitled to raise, and a question to which I have been all along anxious to confine myself. At Tullamore Mr. O'Connell made a speech in which he commented, at great length, on the course that had been pursued with regard to the union. Having done this he proceeded to hold out to the people whom he was addressing, the advantages which they might expect would accrue from a repeal. Having read a passage from the speech referred to, the Learned Counsel observed—Now you will observe that one of the means employed in fostering what I call the delusion, was the laying down the mistaken authority of certain men. The people were told that there was no difficulty,in point of law, in repealing the Act of Unio n . Mr. O'Connell then says—" Th e Irish Parliament was not dead—it only sleeps—the Royal prerogative remains unimpaired, and the Queen might come and restore it without troubling us at all." Now, the people who at tended this meeting were instructed by Mr. O'Connell that " the Queen was anxious for them, and favourable to them," and he then lays down the law that it is not necessary, in order to effect their object, that the English Parliament or the Saxon Parliament should be resorted to—when she is convinced that it ought to be done there is no legal objection to issuing writs, thereby call ing together the Parliament aga i n ." Now, gentlemen, this brings me to the consideration of the proposition whether it is consistent with the law of this land to say that the Queen can reconstruct the Parliament of Ireland by the mere exercise of the Royal prerogative in issuing writs to such places in Ireland as her Majesty may think proper. When my Learned Friend, the Attorney-General, in his very luminous statement, arrived at this part of the case, he threw out a challenge to the counsel on the other side—he asked how far they were prepared to establish or support the opinion of their clients at this point. Ido not exactly know, at this moment, whether they mean at all to insist on the legality of that proposition, or if they do, to what extent they will rely. Now, I think; I shall have very little difficulty in demonstrating to their Lordships, who I take for granted will duly lay down the law, that that is a total perversion of the law, is altogether unsupported by legal principles ; it is directly adverse to the best established principles of our law, it is wholly unintel ligible, and the result would be to render void all the acts which have been passed since the union. The defendants do not exactly say that the union was void, but passages were read to show, that though binding in point of law, it was not binding in point of conscience or constitutional principle as contradistin guished from law and precedent. It was said that King James issued writs for 40 boroughs in one day, and that the Crown had now th e ri g ht o f exercising the same power. There is an explicit enactment that no meeting shall be convened, or any persons elected or considered as representatives of those places either in the United Par liament or elsewhere, except as the Imperial Parliament shall determine. It has been said that the Queen has the power to issue writs to call together an Irish Parliament, for this reason that that Parliament, as Mr. O'Connell alleges, is not dead, but sleeps—that it is still in constitutional and legal existence, though not actually exercising its functions. That supposes the Act of Union to be altogether void. Mr. Whiteside, one of the counsel for the traversers, went the length of saying that it was not meant by that that the Act of Union was not binding in point of law, but merely that it was void in constitutional principle. I can, however, give a very good answer with respect to Mr. O'Connell s meaning, and the meaning which he intended to be conveyed to the people of Ireland, by referring you to the docu ments which the traversers gave in evidence the day before yesterday. Among the documents put in by them, was an address of the National Associa tion at its first establishment to the people of Ire land. It contains a dedication to the people of Ireland by Mr. O'Connell. "I dedicate," said he, " these reports to you; they are written by one of your selves for the benefit of you all." Now, in this publica tion I find the doctrine respecting the union laid down thus:—" Besides all this, it is perfectly clear that the Irish Parliament had no right whatsoever to vote away their country's independence." He then states Plunket's words, and thus continues :—" Such were th e ' means by which the union was carried, and such was the inherent radical defect, in point of law and conscience, in that measure." What will be said of that ? Is that, or is it not, a deliberate asser tion circulated among the people of Ireland, that by reason of the inherent want of legal power the ca pacity of the Legislature, and particularly of the Irish Legislature, which passed the union—the union was void in point of law and conscience ?—" It is right to see how this inherent defect in the union," and so on, "was exhibited by another lawyer?" I will say that this assertion of Mr. O'Connell's, as to the right to call together an Irish Parliament without the sanction of the Legislature, is not only seditious and unlawful, but is also delusive. I say it is one of the means by which the objects of this combination were attempted to be misled ; and Mr. O'Connell misled them as to the nature of the act, in order to create discontent and dis affection with it, and to induce those large assemblies to unite with him in getting rid of the statute. I hold this assertion to be further delusive, because it pretended to be founded upon what has been represented to you as the opinions of those eminent men whose names you have often heard of in the course of this trial. Well, gentlemen of the jury, so far as relates to the doe trine that the Queen, by virtue of the Royal prerogative, can, independent of Parliament, issue writs for calling together a Parliament in Ireland, also to the proposition that the union is not binding in point of law, I am sure you will be satisfied that both are unfounded, being based upon unfair and unjust misrepresentations of the opinions of eminent persons, and I will now assume, in the remainder of my address, that you are perfectly satisfied there is not an y so lid foundation whatever for that which has been repeated over and over again, and circulated through the country for the purpose rm leading and deceiving.

Anothor Bonus will be declared in the present year. DEFERRED ANNUITIES. The best and most varied provision for after-life hitherto offered — every 21. 12s. per annum, paid from the age of twenty, will, at sixty five, give the pollepholder the choice of an annuity of 471. 16.5. 6d., or 3491. 1 ls. cash, or policy at death of 4661.

DECLARATION OF THE GUARDIANS OF BRENI, DEVON. We the undersigned, solemnly declare that before Thomas Ro bins, one of our parishioners, commenced taking " Halse's Scor butic Drops," he was literally covered with large running wounds some of them so large that a person might have laid his fist in them), that before he had finished the first bottle he noticed an improvement, and that by continuing them for some time, he got completely restored to health, after everything else had failed. He had tried various sorts of medicines before taking '• Halse's Scor. butic Drops,'' and had prescriptions from the most celebrated phy sitian sin this country, without deriving the least benefit. " Halse's Scorbutic Drops" have completely cured him, and he is new ena bled to attend to his labour as well as any man in our parish. From other cures also made in this part, we strongly recommend " Halse's Scorbutic Drops" to the notice of the public.

This was an action to recover compensation from de fendants for the injuries plaintiff had received, in conse • quence of the terrific accident which happened to the down train from London to Brighton, near Merstliam tunnel. The jury found for plaintiff, and a rule nisi had been obtained for an arrest of judgment and a new trial, on the ground that defendants had not received the no tice of action required by th e A ct o f P ar li a ment incor porating the Railway Company. Lord DENMAN this morning gave judgment. The Court was of opinion that the defendants had been sued, not as proprietors of the railroad, but in their capacity of common carriers; th a t t h erefore not i ce o f action was not necessary, and consequently that the plaintiff was entitled to retain his verdict.—Rule discharged. COURT OFEXCHEQUER, Feb. 9 . (Sittings at Nisi Pri us b efore Lord ABINGER and a Common .Jury.) ROBINSON v. MASON. This was an action t o recover com p en sation in da mages by reason of a t respass an d illegal distraint, alleged to have been co mm i tted b y t h e d e fendant. The plaintiff (Mrs. R o bi nson) occup i e d a room in the house of the defendant, i n w hi c h t h ere was property valued at 120/. Some differences arose between . the plaintiff and her landlord, which ended in an examina tionO - tion at a police-office. n the return of the plaintiff from which with her daughter (to whom it was alleged that a portion, if not the whole of the property . be longed), she was refused admission. The plaintiff alleged that the room was engaged on a quarterly tenantcy, and that at the ti me o f the trespass their oc cupancy had not terminated. The defendant, however, contended that the room was engaged at a weekly rent, and that the seizure was legal. Lord ABINGER summed up the evidence, and the jury returned a verdict for the defendant. BAIL COURT, Feb. 9. (Sittings at Nisi Frills, before Mr. Justice WILLIAMS and a Common Jury.) LEAVER V. WILLS.—BREACH OF PROMISE OF M ARRIAGE. The plaintiff in this case is the daug hter of a lieu tenant in the navy, who is the superior officer of the The defendant is also a lieutenant in the navy, residing at Thames Ditton, within a mile and a half of the plain tiff's residence ; and the action was brought to recover compensation in damages for the injury which the plain tiff had suffered in her feelings and prospects by reason of the defendant having refused to perform his promise to marry her. Mr. Humfrey, with whom was Mr. Hance, appeared upon the part of the plaintiff, whose ease was stated by the Learned Counsel in a v er y judicious and temperate address. The whole facts of the ease appear upon the following evidence : Mr. William Leaver, examined by M r. Hance _ , said, —I have been in the naval service for between forty and fifty years, and am now a lieutenant. I have eight children, of whom the pl a i nt iff i s one. She is twenty-six year s old. I or about a twelvemonth back I have been appointed to the telegraph at Esher. I became acquainted with the defendant on Easter Sunday, last year. His son and•daughter came to see plavyalll(iinsgaddresses to my the telegraph and were . shown it, and the defendant, who is also a lieutenant in the navy, calleidntoonthineegaaNrvdeeenk, after. When he came he seemed at first rather atten .objection, provided he tire to my daughter, and an intimacy spran g up between our families. In April of the last . year he dined with m ehled e, eas a stk n de d ad a u f ing t after ei r t te(olri.nanlleorsN,vaiiichp;qlloltauo; no could show how he was to support a wife. He said he had his half-pay and a house, and ample means t o sup port a wife, exclusive of that in fund e d property. He suitor t ? ln f lesa my (laughter. He week for about said that he wished the marriage to t a k e p l ace the f i rst or sceond week in August. He wa s f rom t h at t i me camecosi consider ed e eby housem e two ast he or three seven months ; took his meals, and occasionally slept there.—The defendant has two children.-- a daughter, 23, mid a son about 19 or 20 years old. They knew that the defendant was the suitor of my daughter. She has been educated as a governess, and acted as such for two years in Warwickshire before , I cam e t o t h e telegraph. r Cross-examined by gr. , IIESIGER—I am the superior Th officer of the telegraph. ere i s no other officer but myself, and I am officer over one man. I don't know the defendant's age. He is not so old a s myself. Mr. THESIGER—Has he not spay close under his lee? Witness—You must take a reef Mr. THESIGER—But there is danger of a lee shore at sixty ? Witness—Then you must let a reef out. Mr. THESIGER—But we must come to that at last. Witness—But then we carry sail as long as we can. The pay of a lieutenant is ss. a-day-91i. a-year. I don't keep a servant. My children did not assist in the work of the house, but I hired a woman for the purpose. The defendant is not phl e g m atic. He is a very steady, sober, honest man—rather lively He asked me to allow him to pay his addresses to my daughter on the first oc casion when he called on me. I did not say that I could not give my consent until I had ascertained the inclina tion of my daughter. Nor did I say that he could not know whether he really had any affection for her or not, as he had scarcely seen her. It did not occur to me to consider that he was old enough to be her father, or that he had children as old as she was. When he told me be had a house, I did not ask him where it was, nor for how much it was let, or whether it was let at all. I did not ask the amount of the property which he said he had in the funds. He went from the garden into the house— not into the hot-house. He then " popped the ques tion." Mr. THESIGER—I suppose he went in and said— " Make it eight bells 2" Witness —You seem to know what eight bells are. Mr. I'llEl3l°Eu—l do a little. Mr. Justice WiLmAms (to the jury)—As we are not nautical people, this dialect is apocryhal to us. Witness—The defendant used to sleep at my house, although it was only a mile and a half from his own house'; but there was a wood in the way, and a bull in it ; and he was afraid of the wood and the bull. My daughter slept at the house of the defendant. I don't know exactly when, as I don't now keep a log. I don't recollect that at the time when he put an end to the in timacy with my daughter he told her that his house was shut up, and that he had no tenant for it. He lives at Thames Ditton, in a double-fronted house. The rent of it is 25/ a year. Mrs. Leaver, the wife of the preceding witness, was then called and examined by Mr. HUMFREY—She stated that when the defendant proposed for her daughter, he represented his house as being worth 801. a year, and said that he was entitled for life to the interest upon 300 i The children of the defendant were aware that he was to be married to the plaintiff, and behaved with great kindness to the father and mother of the plaintiff. The defendant said he did not care how soon the mar riage took place, but for decorous motives wished to put it off until after Midsummer. It was then arranged that the parties should take a walk together, and converse upon their prospects. He continued on-the same footing down to the very moment of breaking of. The plaintiff prepared her wedding-dress with the knowledge of the defendant, who said he wished to be married ,in Thames Ditton church. The plaintiff was working at part of her wedding-dress on the morning of the sth of November, when the letter breaking off the marriage was received. The plaintiff and her mother, the witness, went to see the defendant's house in Alsop-terrace, and a great deal of conversation took place about fitting up and furnish ing the house, and especially the bed-Chamber. Cross-examined by Mr. MESMER—The daughter and son of the defendant sometimes came to my house to fetch their father away. I did not at all abuse her. On the very last day, the 4th of November, the daughter came to fetch her father away. She came through the wet fields for the purpose, and was very much out of temper for some reason or other. Miss Emma Leaver, a sister of the plaintiff, and a very nice-looking person, st a t e d th a t s h e an d th e d e f en d ant ' s daughter were to be the bridesmaids on the occasion of the marriage, and that the defendant had seen her sister (the plaintiff) at work upon the dress which she was to wear at the ceremony. The letter of the de fendant breaking off the match produced a very inju rious effect upon the health of the plaintiff, who has been unwell ever since. Cross-examined--No particular time was fixed for the wedding after August had passed by. The mother of the plaintiff was again called, and stated, that she was not aware that any time had been fixed for the ceremony after the time originally agreed upon had gone by. The family, however, expected that the defendant would fix a time. Several letters from the defendant to the plaintiff were then put in and read. They were all of a very affec tionate character and, to use a phrase which was fre quently repeated by the Learned Counsel on both sides, " breathed a spirit of ardent attachment." The letter breaking off the match was dated on the sth of Novem ber, 1843, and was in the following words:— " Dear Sarah,—After leaving your house on Monday with my daughter, who was so much offended by the rude remarks at her fetching me, I seriously reflected there can be no harpiness at present for either of us. Circumstances have now occurred in my own affairs which will prevent me from bringing home a wife for some years, and I have now determined not to do so until my children have left home, as they are both very much opposed to it. I cannot , express how much I felt aggrieved at your brother's remark, that Leton (a sister of the plaintiff) should be tied up to me, and such remarks are very unbecoming in a youth of his age, and very hurtful to my feelings. I cannot allow another circumstance to pass unnoticed which came to my knowledge. On Sunday I found some letters from your brother William to my . daughter, and upon inquiring into particulars I was informed that you had been the bearer of those letters to and from, at the same time knowing that your brother was engaged to another ; and how could he win the affections of an unsuspected [intended probably for unsuspecting] girl with the intention of deceiving her ? I returned from town on Thursday, when I received your note. I sin cerely hope you will see with me the propriety of this proceeding, as I cannot marry for some years. I hasten to communicate it to you, trusting you will have forti tude enough to bear what cannot be avoided. Allow me, with every good wish for your future happiness, to sub scribe myself yours affectionately, " JOHN WILLS." Some passages in this letter which seem to require ex planation were not explained. This was the-plaintiff's case. Mr. TRESIGER (with whom was Mr. Petersdorff) ad dressed the jury for the defence in reduction of damages. He dwelt upon the indiscreet precipitancy with which the original offer was made and accepted, upon the in terested conduct of the plaintiff and her parents, and upon the very great disparity of age between the parties, Which rendered it unlikely that the plaintiff could have been very happy with a person who was so very much older than herself. The Learned Judge having left the case to the jury, they found a verdict for the plaintiff.—Damages, 1501. ADMIRALTY COURT, Feb. 9. THE FAVOURITE.—SALVAGE. This was a suit to recover remuneration for alleged salvage services, under peculiar circumstances. The vessel sued was wrecked on the coast of Cornwall in the latter part of last year, and a gentleman named Davy, at St. Burien (as we understood), undertook to watch the wreck, and he continued this service from the 28th of October to the 10th of November, at .the ex piration of which time he had succeeded in saving 250 tons of fine iron, part of the cargo. He incurred various charges in the course of this service, and he commenced proceedings in this Court to recover these and a com pensation for his own services in the form of a salvage suit. Dr. HAGGARD and Dr. Twiss were heard in support of his claim, and Dr. ELPISINSTONE for the owners, admitted that Mr. Davy had rendered a valuable service, but contended that it was not one which entitled him to maintain a suit for salvage. Dr. LUGHINGTON considered that the services rendered by Mr. Davy had been very meritorious, and, although the Court could not recognise him as a salvor, it could regard him as an agent ; in which capacity he awarded him 2501., to include all tho expenses he had incurred, except costs of suit. CENTRAL CRI VIINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE and Mr. Justice CRESSWELL.) Peter Patrie was indicted for feloniously cutting and wounding Josiah Lawton, with intent to maim and disable him, or to do him grievous bodily harm. There were other counts in the indictment, which in some respects varied the form of the charge. The Attorney-General, Mr. Adolphus, Mr. Wad dington, and Mr. Johnson appeared for the Crown ; Mr. Wilkins and Mr. Wilde defended the prisoner. It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner is the captain of a merchant-vessel, called the Lydia, and in the month of December that vessel was in the Western Ocean, on her voyage home from Bahia to England. The prosecutor, who is an American, was a seaman on board the vessel, and it would appear, that prior to the transaction in question taking place, there had been some disagreement between the prosecutor and the mate of the vessel: Upon December 19, the prosecu tor'had to go aloft to make some alterations in the rigging, and he found it drawn so tight that he could not do what he wanted, and he came down upon deck and asked the mate:for a marline spike to break or cut the rigging with. The mate asked him whether he thought that he carried marline-spikes in his pocket, and the prisoner interfered, and insisted that the rigging should not be cut, and ordered him aloft to perform his duty properly. The prosecutor, upon this, again went up the rigging ; and, after a short time had elapsed, the pri soner ordered him upon deck, and said he had a good mind to give him a flogging for his misconduct. The prosecutor had, before this, abused the mate, and called him a lubber. The captain then ordered the pro secutor to be taken aft, and some of the crew obeyed the command ; but the moment the prosecutor was released, he rushed at the mate and threw him down across a water-cask, and while they were in this position the mate called out for help, and said that the prosecutor was " gouging" him. The prisoner, who had a sheathed sword in his hand, rushed at the prosecutor, and made several cuts at him, inflicting injuries upon his arm, shoulder, and hands, the little finger of one of which was cut off. The prosecutor called out that he was bleeding to death, upon which the prisoner desisted, and gave directions that every attention should be paid to hiw. In cross-examination, it appeared that the prisoner seemed very much surprised that he had cut the pro secutor, and that the moment he ascertained that he had done so, he did all he could to stop the bleeding, and afterwards furnished the prosecutor with every neces sary he required from his own cabin. The prosecutor also admitted that he had spoken very uncivilly to the mate, and although he denied that he attempted to " gouge" him, he admitted that during the scuffle with the mate, and while the latter was thrown down across the water-cask, his fingers accidentally got very near the mate's mouth, and it was at the same time explained that the operation of " gouging" was performed by forcing the thumbs into the mouth, and then scooping out the eyes with the fingers. The prosecutor also said that there was some talk among the crew of his having said that he was sorryahe did not cut the mate's- - but he denied having once made use of such an expression.- It was likewise proved, that upon one occa sion, when the prosecutor was at the helm, and all the crew were on the look-out for a shoal, he veered the ship two or three points, and thus endangered the safety of the ship. Some others of the crew were examined in corrobora tion of the evidence of the prosecutor, but their testimony did not in any material respect alter the complexion of the case as detailed in the above narrative ; and all the witnesses admitted, in cross-examination, that the pri soner's conduct to them had been uniformly kifid throughout the voyage, and no dispute had taken place with any of the crew except the prosecutor, and no man had been punished on board the vessel. It was admitted the prisoner, when he first attacked the prosecutor, struck him with the sheathed sword, - and it appeared very pos sible that the scabbard had come off accidentally during the fray. Medical evidence was adduced to show that the in juries inflicted upon the prosecutor were of a somewhat serious character ; but it appeared that he was now nearly recovered. This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. Wilkins then made a most able address to the jury on behalf of the prisoner ; and he observed that he was in a condition to prove that he was a man of courage and humanity, and quite incapable of committing an attack upon any person under his command, unless under circumstances of great provocation, and that he would not do it then unless it became absolutely neces sary for the safety of the vessel, and the lives of the passengers under his charge. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to say, that the prosecutor had miscon ducted himself most grossly, and upon his attacking the mate and the latter calling out that the prosecutor was " gouging" him, he rushed to the assistance of his officer intending to strike the prosecutor with the sheathed sword, but the scabbard coming off, he, not knowing the fact, had accidentally inflicted the injuries upon him. Mr. Wilkins went on to say, that for forty years the prisoner had served in the Royal Navy and in the mer chant service, and had conducted himself uniformly with the utmost bravery and honour ; and it was not likely, therefore, that he should have misconducted himself m the way described. Evidence was then adduced on behalf of the defendant, to the effect that at Bahia, the prosecutor wished to leave the vessel, but on the captain refusing to allow him to do so, he said the captain should have no good out of him. and he would have his revenge before he got home. The mate of the vessel also proved the fact, that a few days before the 19th of December, while all the crew were on the look out for a shoal, the prosecutor said, that be bad knocked the ship about two or three points in order that the captain might find fault with him, when he said he would have a - row. At this time the vessel was near a shoal, and the pro ceeding of the prosecutor was attended with great dan ger. The mate likewise proved that, on the night the transaction took place, the captain ordered the prosecutor to go forward, and gave him a slight push ; upon which he called out, " All hands witness that I am struck," and immediately knocked the captain down. He (the mate) interfered, and the prisoner laid hold of him, and swore he would do for him. The captain then or dered two others of the crew to take Lawton aft. After this Lawton again said that he would do for him, and made a second blow at him, and then they had a scuffle, and Lawton got him on the water-cask, and put two of his fingers into his mouth, and tried to " gouge " him. He called out that the prosecutor was trying to do so, and the captain then came to his assistance, when Law ton immediately turned upon him and knocked him against the rails. The captain then struck the prosecu tor once or twice on the head with something he had in his hand, and he at the same time said, " You scoun drel, do you mean to murder us ?" Shortly afterwards the prosecutor appeared to be bleeding, and the captain was very much surprised at it. The mate also proved that, during his scuffle with the prosecutor, he was cut upon the foot in two places. The mate in his evidence denied that he saw a sword in the captain's hand, and also said that he had not even seen a sword on board the vessel Philip Ramsey Allen, the steward of the vessel , proved that as the captain was going up the stairs from his ca bin to the deck with his sword in his hand, a part of the leather sheath fell to the ground, and ho picked it up, and now produced it. He also proved that he followed the captain upon the deck, and saw him give the prose cutor four or five " licks" with the sheathed sword. He had often tried to draw the blade from the sheath, but could not do so on account of it being fixed in so tightly. He heard the prosecutor say that he was bleeding, and the captain said he would not believe him. When, how ever, he found that he really was wounded, he gave witness directions to get some linen to dress the wounds, and to tear up his shirts, or anything else for that pur pose. The witness likewise stated that the prisoner was a very kind captain, and always behaving well to his crew. In answer to a question from the Court. He (wit ness) said that he never saw the sword again after the evening in question. Mr. Banner, a medical gentleman of Liverpool, who saw the prosecutor in the Northern Hospital at that place, expressed his opinion that none of the injuries he had received were likely to be dangerous to life. He also said that, in his opinion, such a portion of a sword as might have been covered by the portion of the broken sheath produced, would have caused the injuries that the prosecutor appeared to have received. The wound that appeared in front of the scalp he did not think was inflicted by any cutting instrument, but was more likely to have been occasioned by such an instrument as a handcuff, a pair of which, it appeared, the prisoner had on his hands at the time he attacked the prosecutor. A number of highly respectable witnesses, merchants and shipowners in Liverpool and London, were then called, and they gave the prisoner a high character for humanity and benevolence of disposition. • Captain Henderson, the Commander of the Gorgon steam frigate at the siege of Acre, proved that the pri soner was a Lieutenant in the Royal Navy in 1815, and always bore the character of a gallant and humane man. Captain Chappell, another officer in her Majesty's Navy, gave similar testimony. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL replied. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE then summed up the case, and went with great minuteness through the•whole of the evidence. The jury retired at half-past six o'clock, and were absent about three-quarters of an hour, when they re turned into Court and gave their verdict, finding the prisoner guilty upon the fourth count, in which the in tent was laid to be to do the prosecutor grievous bodily harm ; the jury at the same time begged leave to re commend the prisoner most strongly to the mercy of the Court. The verdict appeared to create some surprise in the Court. EXAMPLES. Entry. Policy. Age. Sum. Annual Bonus Cask Prem. No. Prem. Added. Bonus. Reduced. £ £ s. d. £ s. d.
