This wa, an appeal tiotn — iiiedecLii.n of the Vice- Cha , h2dor, who had decided against the plaintiffs. The question at issue was a matter of tolls, in wlikh the ap plicants felt themselves aggrieved by the de"ision of the issues which had been tried in the case, and they now caw. before his Lordship to obtain that redress in equity to which they conceive themselves entitled. Mr. Stewart and other gentlemen were heard for the applicants, and their case occupied the attention of the Court the entire day. The Court rose at three o'clock. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, July 20. (Before Sir J. K. BRUCE.) MALINS V. PRICE. _ _ The arguments in this case, which had occupied the greater part of Thursday and Friday, were concluded to-day, when his Honour gave judgment to the effect that, the defendant undertaking not to cause damage wrongfully to the plaintiff, the injunction prayed for would not be granted, and then his Honour directed cer tain issues to be tried. They were to the effect, whether sinci 1843 the defendants had worked their mines in an unminerlike manner, or so as to damage the plaintiff, or in a way that was necessary for rendering the mines profi table. The injunction which the motion sought was to restrain the defendant from working by patch work to obtain ironstone on an estate in Glamorganshire belonging to Lord Dunraven. (Before Sir J. VirioßAm.) His HONOUR, after disposing of a case which bad been so: down for judgment on further directions, proceeded to boar short unopposed causes, which formed the list for the day. SHERIFFS' COURT, July 20. PEGLER V. SOMERS. This was an action brought by Mr. Samuel Pegler, the landlord of the Ship, Phcenix-alley, Long-acre, to recover of the defendant (William Somers), the son of a tailor, living in Harleyford-road, Vauxhall, the sum of 5/. 18s. lid., for meat, drink, and lodging, supplied by the defendant. To this the defendant pleaded, first, nev.r indebted ; secondly, that he was an infant ; and, thirdly, the Statute of Limitations. CHARNOCIE appeared for the plaintiff, who ad mitted that the defendant was an " infant" when the debt was contracted, but rejoined that the articles supplied were necessaries ; and Mr. Thomas for the defendant. The LEARNED COUNSEL having briefly stated the case, called the following witnesses : Mr. Wm. Felkns said he was brother-in-law to the plaintiff, who, in the year 1838, kept the Durham Arms, Vauxhall. About the latter end of July in that year, the defendant became a frequenter of that house, stating that he was a clerk in the London docks. On the 3d of August, he took up his abode there, and had his meals every day till the 29th, when he left suddenly. On one occasion he said that, on the night previous, he had been in the company of some military officers in the coffee room, and had treated them to three boottles of wine. Whilst at the Durham Arms he smoked cigars, and talked very largely. He appeared about 22 years of age, and was a handsome fellow. The defendant, on one oc casion, invited him to the Docks to taste, but when he got there no such person was known.—(A laugh.) Cross-examined—Did not know that he was an appren tice to an ivory turner, nor that the whole amount con tained in the bill was lost at skittles. lie saw him play once, but that was for a " leg of mutton and trimmings, " The plaintiff was his partner, and they lost. Miss Lucy Pegler, daughter of the plaintiff, remem bered the defendant coming to her father's house, as to his sleeping there, and having his meals. He never drank any spirits, but or.!ly negus and ale, with cigars. month or two ago he can.ed upon her father, and i nv ite 1 him to dine with him in the neighbourho od of Tottenham-court-road, but when he got hire the de fewlant could not be found.—(Laughter.) Cross-examined--The defendant's father lived near the Durham Arms, and she knew him by sight, but did Rot know that the defendant was an apprentice. He sail he was a clerk in the docks, and he dressed as dock clerks usually do.—(Laughter.) M r . C. L- 3 ,..1Tcy, clerk to plaintiff's attorney, said that he called upon - the defendant, accompanied by the plain tiff, in April last to „:. , k him for the amount. The pharatiff said, "you know it Las been - owing near five years," to which the defendant rejoined—" you know it is above six years, and above 51 . , so you _may - get the money the best way you can." Witness thenerved him with a copy of the writ. The Learned COMMISSIONER, in summing up, said the p r i n cipal question for the consideration of the jury was, w h at wa :a necessary for an apprentice to an ivory tur ner. lie Jid not think three bottles of wine necessary, and with reg2rd to cigars, never having smoked any, he could not say v ,-.hether they were necessary or not for a person's existence. If they believed any part of the bill were necessary they wnuld say to what amount, and he thought there could be no doubt about the things having been supplied within the six years. The jury, after consulting for a short time, returned a verdict fur 4L I Id. for the plaintiff, striking out of the bill the ciors, three bottles of wine, and the aof mutton and trimmings," as unnecessary. SUMMER ASSIZES. NORFOLK CIRCUIT. —Cambridge, July 18. The Learned Judges arrived in Cambridge this evening, and, attended by the High Sheriff, proceeded to Trinity C :lege Lodge where, time out of mind , the Judg es have had their she (and where the Master himself is but their guest) durinj the time they hold their courts in Cambridge b . j• virtue of the Queen's commission. The lodge has under pone very extensive alterations and improvements both within and without, during the last two years, at the sole ex pe ,se, it is said, of 'Kr. Hope, who is a member of the Col i. ; and it is now a residence worthy to receive her Majesty, ‘ar tier representatives, the Judges. The cause list is meagre, there being six causes only en teral for trial ; one of them is an action for alleged crim. con., bniught by Sambo Sutton, the weal-known black pugilist, -..-4gAinst a builder and brickmaker living in the town. The calendar of prisoners presents rather a formidable ap pearance, there being 35 prisoners for trial, of whom eight are charged with arson, six with burglary, and five with highway robbery. There is also a case for trial in which a surgeon is accused of manslaughter; it is not mentioned in the calendar. It is the custom in this county to enumerate in the eaten diar the property found on the prisoners on their apprehen sion, "or seized as belonging or believed to belong to them." lu the present calendar the entire money found on or be lieved to belong to the 35 prisoners amounts to the sum of 17s. 10d., in which are included two sums of 7s. 10d. and 3s. 9d, which appear to be portions of the property the par ties are accused of having stolen, which being deducted, leaves the sum of 2 4 4 . for each of thel prisoners. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—York, July IS. (Before Mr. Justice CRESWELL.) THE BRADFORD MURDER.—John 0' Bryan,Thomas Ragan, Daniel Powir, Wm. Quinn, and Daniel Donoran, were in dicted, with a person named 111 4 Cami, who was not in ens 14.dy, for the wilful murder of Benjamin Gott, at Bradford. Mr.euss stated to the jury that on Whit-Monday there had been 1 ,..n Orange Lodge procession in Bradford, which was .accompanied by a band, who were attacked by a mob, among ivhoin Were the prisoners, when Benjamin Gott, one of its members, was kills j• 'Menus Thornton— Is one of the Idle and Calrerly band. Benjamin Gott was one. On Whit-Monday he went to play for an Orange Lodge at Bra,:. cord. We met at Bradford moor, and played by ourelves tfi.' we got to Steetin-lane, ,one mire and a half from Bradford. lodge met us there. "We then went through Bradford to Hon...'n and Thornton ; &woke up at Thornton and returned to Bram.'rd. We did not play at Thornton till we came to Bradford; we the n played down Westgate, and near the Royal Oak a .... n al' made a bit of confusion, and stopped the drum. Plenty more were near. The tune was " The Huddersfield .quick step." We had played the " Boyne Water" ;in Bradford at noon, when we first went through. INobody stopped but me and the drum. I played the keyed I and the drummer afterwards went forward. IVe played another tune, called the " Trumpet quick step." We vent on to the Church-bridge, and there we gave up playing. We then went by Church-bank, up Backer-end to Undercliff, just out of Bradford. This was our straight road home. A party followed us up from behind. He who had attacked the drummer was first ; he had a yellow walking-stick. He struck Charles Naylor, the Bradford old band drummer. He -% as again with us without his drum. He struck Naylor very hard three or four times. I made my escape ; and ilooking behind, I saw Jonathan Thorps, the Undercliff con saable. He said, " Let us find them out." Before I got a,7055 the road I was knocked down first with fists, and then ri,gi sticks. I was felled seven times within a yard or two of !P:gamin Gott. There were a good many at him on the ground. I saw them strike him several times with shillelah3. I heard him cry out the first blow I saw him get. He was en the ground. I saw a man with a stone in his hand ; he plashed it down. I could not see if it hit him, so many were round. I made my escape. I was leaning over a garden wail, about fifty yards off, bleeding, and some came past me with Gott. I saw him afterwards dead. Cross-examined by . Mr. HEATon—There was another band , Aith us. Several lodges and two bands went together. One and Jed the precession, the other went behind. We played lie " eoyne Water" only once. Old tunes are often pub lished witi: new names. Our band was thirteen, the other •venteen iv number. The procession might be 200. It as a holiday in Bradford. I saw no excitement. I have , ayed many a time through Bradford. I saw no difference len to other days. The streets were crowded. Cross-examined by Mr. Wriainis—Only one of the band was an Orangeman. The music played was given by the )range Lodge to the band to play. There were three or four orange flags. I heard no groaning and hooting at the people by the procession. After the stone was thrown at the irieura it was kicked. It was knocked nearly all to pieces. xi great many persons struck Gott. I could not tell any of .them but M'Cann. He struck with the yellow walking st,',eir thick and heavy. We also played " - Hants of Oak," and "Lion quick step." Neither of them is "Crop Pies lie down'? Y Mr. BLISS—The b an d were i n un if orm , Re-extuVlZled b different uniforms. Th e o th er b an d was f rom but each baild Wilderdon. I Dil ly judge the man with the yellow stick to be M`Cann by the description pf him. The man who lifted the stone was not MCann. Several other witnesses were examined, which closed the case for the prosecution. Mr. Heaton addressed the jury for. O'Bryart az‘d Ragan; Mr. Wilkins for the other prisoners. Mr. HF,ATON called witnesses to prove an alibi. Mr. Buss replied, and the Court adjourned the further hearing of the case. KING'S COUNTY ASSlZES.—Tullamore, July 17. MURDER OF LORD NORBURY. The Commiision was opened here to-day by Mr. Justice Crampton. The calender is by no means heavy, but there are two cases of a very im • portaht character to be tried—the first is that for the murder :of Lord Norbury, which our readers will recollect took place ',upwards of five years ago. The Solicitor-General is here on the part of the Crown,- and every preparation has,beeu,made SZNICka • g wth the trial, which will take place to -mot, A AVW re two persons accused, one named Gill, and the --..., - ,n, helatter as the principal, and the former as ac ---ilirrY Obliefor e fact; both were in - the employment of his A ; .. :L'Adordship at tlx time the murdexwasperpetrated: in:, Sander };Auvithe.stew who was with Lord Norbury when the fatal •:;,,: was fired, as arrived here from Scotland, and is to be --. ill =mined as a witness: Several members of the Norbury - - loudly have arrived here froin England for the purpose of bpi pi i, fiso examined as witnesses if necessary. The bills 'Aj/rT ^\% seNg •against the accused were found at the last assizes, and they should be either tried or discharged on the present occasion. Those engaged for the Crown say that they are certain of a conviction. The other principal case to be tried is that of a police serjeant named Ogle, who is charged with having caused riband papers to be put into the pocket of a person named 31‘Laughlan, at a wake in Shinrone, and then endeavouring to prosecute him to conviction, at the last assizes for this county. There are several other persons to be tried with him as accomplices, and the case, as well as that for the murder of Lord Norbury, has excited great interest not only here but throughout the country generally. SAMBO SUTTON'S CRIM. CON. CASE. At the Cambridge Assizes on Friday, an action was brought by the well-known " Sambo Sutton," a ci-devant prize-fighter, against Mr.-Samuel Preston, a brickmaker in that town, for criminal conversation with his wife. There was a second count, charging the defendant with having unlawfully and wrongfully harboured and de tained plaintiff's wife, and kept her away from her hus band. Mr. GUNNING stated the facts of the case as he pro posed to prove them in evidence. His client, he said, was Mr. Thomas Sutton, who complained of one of the most serious injuries which one man could inflict upon another. Mr. Sutton was a wine-merchant, residing in London ; in former years he was connected with the prize-ring, and was well known in the sporting world. His age was about 27, and that of his wife about 23. The defendant was a man between forty and fifty years of age, residing in Barnwell, and having a wife and family • he was a brickmaker and builder. His Learned iriend, Mr. Sergeant Byles did not intend in the defence to contend that the plain • tiff was not entitled to a verdict ; but he intended to rely upon his powers of sarcasm and ridicule. His Learned Friend, he was sure, would fail, for whatever the station in life of the plaintiff, he was entitled to equal justice. It was not for a man who had com mitted this grievous act against his neighbour to in struct counsel to answer an action by throwing ridi cule on the person whom he had injured. In 1840, the plaintiff, being then about 23 years old, married Isaliella Pearce, some few years younger than himself, who was a shopwoman in Burlington Arcade, London, and a person of unblemished character. After hi 3 marriage the plaintiff intended to quit his calling of prize-fighter, but he found a difficulty in meeting with any other occupation. At length, in an unhappy mo ment for his wife, he came to Cambridge in 1842, where he gave lessons in the art of self-defence, taking up his abode with his wife, at the Black Bear.— (Laughter.) There the plaintiff and his wife lived happily together. The plaintiff had occasionally to go to London ; during his absence his wife boarded with the landlady, and he seldom returned without bring ing her a present of some sort. This was the state of things when the defendant became acquainted with the parties, professing great friendship for the plain tiff, and offering to assist him in getting into some business. Towards the end of May, 1843, plaintiff went to London, and during his absence his wife wa3 ' missed from the Black Bear, early one morning. She was not seen for some time, but there could be no doubt whatever that she had been off somewhere in the company of the defendant. After a month or so de fendant returned to Cambridge and took a house at Ches terton, where he should be able to prove the act of adultery complained of. T. B. Turner, teacher of dancing, 26, Sutton-street, Lambeth—l have known plaintiff eight years ; and was present at his marriage at St. Martin's Church, in 1840. Since that I have often visited them ; they , lived to gether on the most happy terms ; nothing could be more affectionate and fond. Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant BYLES—Plaintiff is called " Sambo;" he is rather black and woolly. He fights great battles, and is the most respectable amongst them. When I first knew him he was a pugilist ; I never heard of his exercising his profession on his wife ; he may have beaten men, but not ladies. They kept a cigar shop in Drury-lane when first married ; and afterwards lived in a " first floor private," near Soho-square. After that they went to Clerkenwell, and lived private in a parlour ; plaintiff used to sing at concert rooms; his wife did nothing be yond making him little things ; she was a very handy woman.—(Laughter.) I know nothing about Cam bridge except what he has told me. He came to Cam bridge in October, 1841 : sometimes he was at Oxford and other places : he left his wife in London, and some times brought her with him to Cambridge. He left her at the Black Bear, in Cambridge, but he was never away long together from her. I never heard that she had complained of his beating her, or that she com plained of him for another reason. She lived at a stock and glove shop in Burlington Arcade. Mr. BYLES—Do you profess the Polka ?—(Laughter.) Witness—Certainly I do. She came to tea with him at a lodging near Leicester-square. Mr. BYLES—Do you remember his buying some flesh coloured gloves for her ? Witness—What colour ? Mr. BYLES—FIesh-coloured—l know the term is rather doubtful in this case.—(Laughter.) Witness— He bought gloves, I don't know what colour. Mr. BYLES—Was the courtship short ? Witness— Eight or nine months. By the JUDGE—Her mother was dead some time be fore her marriage. Re-examined—She was an assistant in the shop. I knew her there for some time before her marriage. Plaintiff is now what you term a vocalist and wine-mer chant.—(Laughter.) He has been in the wine trade about a fortnight. Mary Laxton, landlady of the Black Bear, Cambridge --I remember plaintiff and wife coming about October, 1841. They had a bed-room, and sat with me and my family in the bar. I have a niece living with me. They used to leave at the end of every term at first, but in May, 1842, they came to live here altogether. I never saw anything but happiness between them. She quitted my house on the 29th of May, 1843. I missed her early in the morning Her husband was absent. Defendant used to come and sit in my bar for hours. He saw plain tiff and his wife there. After Mrs. Sutton left defendant did not come as usual. Hannah White, niece of the last witness—l lived at at the Black Bear, and knew the plaintiff anti his wife. They lived happily together, and were kind and affec tionate to each other. About a month after Mrs. Sutton left the house, Mr. Preston said he had been to Scotland with her. He came into the bar and spoke of it of his own accord. He said he had been to Scotland with her, and had called to see a young friend there, Miss Gray, who was a beautiful creature. —(Laughter.) Cross-examined—l never saw the black beating his wife. I have seen him going to strike her, but he stopped. I have got vinegar and brandy for her. She drank the brandy—(Laughter)—but not the vinegar— she bathed her forehead with it—she was faint. We put no brown paper on with the vinegar. She was faint be cause she had had a dispute with her husband. I also applied some vinegar to her arm. I never said I had seen her so knocked about that she could not feed her self. She is a good-looking person, and used to dance most weeks. John Chapman—l own some houses at Chesterton. Preston hired one between Midsummer and Michaelmas, 1843, at 71. a-year ;he said it was for a person of a rather delicate constitution, out of the low part of Huntingdon shire, who had some little property of her own to sup port her. He brought a female to live in it, a goodish looking person, about twenty-four or twenty-five. I never heard him say whq it was. W. H. Meedle, jeweller, Hyde Park-street, Bayswater —I know plaintiff and his wife, and saw them married. I came to Cambridge last January, and ealleg on Mr. Preston, by direction of the plaintiff, at his house at Barnwell. I said " I believe you are living wi:h, or L:.Dincr, Sutton's wife ?" He said he didn't know any thin.' about it. I asked him if he chose to give her up, and he sac: no. I afterwards went to a house at Ches terton, on the ::une day. I watched the house, and saw Mrs. Sutton at the :7 inclow. She appeared to be living there. I saw two persons through the blind in the bed room, and afterwards there was _no light, Mr. Sergeant BYLES submitted tit;": there was no case for the jury. His LORDSHIP thought there was not much eviderioe, but it was a question for the jury. Mr. Sergeant BYLES then addressed the jury for the defendant. Who were the parties in this action ? The plaintiff's wife was a shopwoman in Burlington Arcade, a great thoroughfare, where a great many shops were kept by a great many pretty women. Black Sambo entered Burlington Arcade one fine afternoon, like other distinguished people at the \Vest-end, Mr. Dyce Sombre, for instance ; walked backwards and forwards, and was struck by the charms of Isa bella.—(Laughter,) An invitation to tea followed, and then there was a wedding. Who gave the lady away ? The Professor of the " Polka."—(Laughter.) There was no accounting for tastes. Now, the plaintiff was black and woolly, yet if he treated his wife well she might no doubt feel affection for him. But what was to be thought of a husband, black and woolly as he was—(Renewed laughter)—and who therefore ought to have been peculiarly careful about his wife, leaving her in a place like Cambridge, totally unprotected ? What was to be thought of a man who took his wife to the Black Bear—a most appropriate name truly—(Laugh ter)—and left her there for months together, allowing her to dance every week with young men frequenting the house ? He contended at some length that there was no evidence to prove the charge of a criminal inter course, and called on the jury in conclusion to give a verdict for the defendant. The Learned JUDGE Eummed up, and after a short consultation, the jury returned a verdict for the de fendant. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (SATURDAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. A very bulky, rosy-cheeked, big-bellied fellow, of the name of Clarke, c'Ets charged by Mr. Dixon, eating - - house-keeper, of No. 156, Upper Thames-street, under the following circumstances : Mr. Dixon stated that the prisoner, who had been a few times a customer, called one day, and after dinner said he wished to speak with him. When they went into a private room, the prisoner said he did not fancy his present lodging, and he would, if they could agree, reckove with his son to witness's house to board and lodge there comfortably. They soon came to an un derstanding, 2nd the prisoner informed hint that he had a consignment of gt;nds to the amount of 92.1. in a vessel which lay at one of the W*Yarfs, The prisoner then pro duced an invoice, and having stead that lie wanted money to pay7the freight, prevailed upon. *itapss to ad vance him upon that representation the sum of 21. lk)s. It was soon palpable that the whole business was gross humbug and imposition. Sir Jofis KEY—Have you made inquiry about it e goods at the wharf ? Witness—l have, and they say they know nothing at all of the man or the goods, Sir J OSIN KEY—Well, prisoner, what have you to say in answer to this? Prisoner—Well, I have to say I was roight. I did not make i 29 misrepresentation. Witness—You said you were a respectable man ? Prisoner-oy, oy, so I be, very respectabl.. Sir JOAN KEY—Perhaps if you try at the wharf you will find these wood ? Prisoner—No, I don't s'pose they be there yet; but they're on the way, they're on the way. —(Laughter.) 'Pend upon it lam the man I said. Witness—There are three of them concerned in this plan of swindling; one of them this fellow passed upon me as his servant. After I gave the prisoner the 21. 10s. he came to me drunk to try me again, and then I knew I was done. Prisoner—No, no ; lam respectable. I'll prove I am the right thing. A man here stepped forward and said, please your Lordship, I am a publican, and keep the Fox and Goose, and this man came to me along with his son, and they lived upon me three weeks without paying a farthing fur lodging or the boy's board. Prisoner—Well, well ! But I paid for what I had my self, and that's something these bad times. Sir J. KEY (to the complainant)—Do you believe you can produce evidence confirmatory of your statement ? Complainant—l do. Sir J. KEY—Then I shall remand the prisoner to give you an opportunity. Complainant—l have no doubt that a great many more persons will appear against him. Prisoner—Your Lordship will let me go and change my dress ? Sir J. KEY—You must go to the Compter directly. Prisoner—Let us go ; do, my Lord, I shan't stay long? Sir J. KEY—No, you may send for your clothes, the officer can't wait upon you to your lodgings. Remanded. GUILDHALL. Mr. Richard Howe, the landlord of the Star and Garter public-house, Old Bailey, appeared at this Court. in answer to a charge preferred by a man named Pritchard, who follows no other occupation than that of a common informer, under the Tippling Act, for illegally detaining a hat and handkerchief as a pledge. On the case being called on, Pritchard addressed the Magistrates, and stated that he thought it would be better for him to state the whole of the case to their Worships before he proceeded to call evidence. Alderman CHALLIS observed that, perhaps, would be the better course, when Pritchard again spoke out, and begged that Mr. Teague, the Chief Clerk, would pre viously refer to the Act of Parliament, at the same time handing in a dilapidated piece of paper, which, after a deal of unfolding, and placing together, proved to be the Tippling Act. He then went on to state the case after a fashion, and had not far proceeded before he made a sudden stop, and after a short pause said that, no doubt, now, if he called his witnesses, it would be more agreeable to the Alderman. He had fifty of them in the neighbourhood of the Court, and he could say fearlessly to the Magistrates that not one of them had been " ear-wigged." He should, however, only call his principal witness, a man named Jones, as the facts were so clear, and he had no wish to occupy a greater space of time than was requisite. Alderman CHALLIS—Do so as speedily as you like. Jones, a dissipated looking fellow, here got into the witness box, and declared that on Thursday evening he, with a friend, went into the defendant's house, and called for a quartern of rum, which was supplied, he throwing down 2d. on the counter, and his friend 3d., as payment, which was taken up by the barmaid. His companion, after taking a glass of the spirit, went out into the street, and on him drinking the remainder, the defendant came into the bar and demanded the payment of the rum. He informed him that it had already been paid, but he insisted that it had not, and on witness attempting to leave, the defendant suddenly seized his hat and hand kerchief therein, and stated that he should retain those articles until redeemed by the price of the quartern of rum. He then went out to speak to his friend about the dilemma in which he was in, When he accidentally met Pritchard, who knowing him as a friend also, made him acquainted with the occurrence. Pritchard then went into the house and asked the defendant whether he in tended to keep the hat and handkerchief as a pledge, and the answer was " most certainly." He was confi dent that sd. for the rum was paid, as he had only 2d. when he entered, and he told them after the occurrence, if more than one halfpenny was found in his pockets, he would make the defendant a present of ss. Mr. Alderman CHALLIS—WeII, Mr. Howe, what an swer have you to make to this man's charge ?—Defend ant—Why, sir, that a very gross fraud is attempted to be imposed upon me. Finding that the man was about to leave without paying the rum, I admit seizing his hat in order to defray my charge. As for them talking about paying my barmaid the sd. it is false, and she is in at tendance to disprove the statement. The barmaid was accordingly called, and swore that she had not received the price of the rum. Alderman CHALLIS, after consulting with his brother Alderman, said that there was no proof of illegal pawn ing, and he should dismiss the case ; and he did not know but what he should have acted in the same manner as the defendant had done, if he had been placed in a similar situation. Pritchar4l—Very well, sir ; but I trust the clerk has taken a full note of the evidence, as the case certainly cannot end here. Alderman CHALLIS—No doubt, sir; Mr. Teague does not require any of your interference. Pritchard—Well, gentlemen, I should like to know for what reason you dismiss the case ? Alderman CHALLIS—We do not sit here to have our judgments questioned in an open court by such persons as you, and I must request you to leave. The officers did their duty, and ejected them into the Guildhall yard, to the no small gratification of those assembled. CITY POLICE COMMITTEE. Mrs. Langridge, of the Sun and Punch-bowl public house, in Long-lane, Smithfield, attended with Mr Wolfe, the solicitor, before Mr. Alderman Hughes Hughes, and Sir Jobn Pirie, to answer a charge laid by the police for harbouring and permitting prostitutes to assemble in the said house between the hours of-two and - three in the morning of Monday last. The evidence given by the police confirmed the facts laid in the infor mation. In answer to Mr. Wolfe, they stated that Mrs. Lang ridge, when told who the characters were, directed them to leave the house, and she said she did not know who they were from any other females. Mr. Wolfe addressed the bench, and endeavoured to substantiate his statement by calling witnesses, when Mr. Alderman Hnghes stopped the case. He said the case had been clearly proved, and they should inflict on the defendant a penalty of 2L for the offence, and or dered the clerk to return the conviction to the Quarter Sessions against the renewal of the license. Mr. Wolfe protested against the conviction as unjust, and begged permission that the defendant's witnesses might be heard, for they would clearly prove Mrs Langridge's innocence of having offended against the law. Marh Samuel, a costermonger, was brought up for selling- fruit in the street, with a false llb. weight, defi cient 4oz. of the proper standard. The weight was pro duced; it had the bottom cut completely out. 'The COURT inflicted a penalty of 2L and in default of payment the defendant was committed to seven days' imprisonment. _ Several small shopkeepers stated the greatest injury was inflicted on them by such characters as the defen dant, who swarmed the streets of London during the fruit season, and professed to sell a pound of fruit at a sum it was impossible to purchase it for at the markets. It was well known that the weights which they hawk about with them were false ; in fact, in most instances, they were upwards of a third short, yet they were al lowed to remain selling their barrow's-load of cherries opposite a shopkeeper's door, who, try all he could, was unable to sell even a basket in a day, because he gave just 'weight. Mr. Alderman HUGUES said it was certainly a great hardship, but with the vigilance of the officers he had no doubt but that their system of fraud would speedily be checked. Here Mr. Knott introduced " one of the class," who had just been liberated from Bridewell after seven days' imprisonment. He had been convicted last Saturday f o r telling cherries in the street with a false weighing machine, an ounce draft in favour of himself, caused by four farthings stuck into the beam of the machine with copper wax. lie now applied for the machine, which, after a promise that he would not offend again, was re gored to him. The effect of the imprisonment was too apparent on his features. Refusing to conform with the regulations of the prison, out of the seven days' im prisonment, he had passed three in solitary confinement. not have been accidental, owing to the great precautions used. On the other hand, the prisoner said the worth he used were " may your ship be set on fire," and he brought witnesses to show that he was in the neigh bourhool of the London Hospital from 6 till past 11 o'clock on the Friday. Mr. BRODERIP, in dismissing the case, said it was one of those in which care should be taken to avoid the post hoc, ergo propter hoc fallacy. There was no evidence to connect the prisoner with the fire, and he must be dis charged. "' TilE SITN, - LONDON; YFONMAY-*MOItNING, JULY 20, 1844.

James Carroll against whom a bill of indictment for the wilful murder of Elizabeth Hobbs was found at the February sessions of the Central Criminal Court, was brought up this day before Mr. Traill on the charge, having been at large since the offence was committed From the evidence of Sergeant Sturgeon, M division, it appeared that in the month of February last, a man named Hobbs and his wife lodged with the prisoner in the Mint, Southwark. A quarrel having occurred be tween the prisoner and Hobbs's wife, a scuffle took place, during which some blows were struck, an d th e w o m an Hobbs received such serious injuries on the head that she died, and on the inquest subsequently held on the body, a verdict of wilful murder was returned against the prisoner, who immediately absconded. It appeared that the prisoner left England and went over to France, where he got employment on a railroad, but that, having lost his situation, be hastened back again, and on Tues day was met in Tooley-street, and being recognised. he was taken into custody. He had disguised himself as much as possible by shaving off his whiskers and wearing different clothes, but still his person was identified, although he declared the sergeant was mistaken, and that he was a stranger in London. The certificate of a true bill having been found against the prisoner was produced, Mr. Traill asked him if he wished to say anything with respect to a denial of his being the individual named in the bill of indictment ? The prisoner, who looked very much depressed, merely shook his head, but said nothing. Mr. TRAILL said that, the identity of the prisoner being proved to his satisfaction, he had only one duty to perform, and that was to commit him for trial. The prisoner was committed accordingly. Mrs. Margaret Curtis, described as the widow of the late Dick Curtis, the well-known " Pet of the Fancy," was brought up, having been found wandering abroad in an insane state of mind. A policeman stated that at an early hour that morn ing he saw the defendant near Kennington-common, and perceiving she was very much fatigued and sitting down on the steps of a door, he went up and asked her some questions, but her replies convinced him that her mind was affected, and he took her to the station-house. When the unfortunate woman was brought into Court it was apparent that she was not in her proper senses ; she first burst out into a loud fit of laughter, and then changing suddenly, she began to cry, and exhibited other unequivocal . symptoms of deranged intellect. A respectible female present said that she was ac quainted with Mrs. Curtis, whose mind was latterly af fected, and that she was in the habit of straying away from her lodgings, and remaining until she was nearly starved. In reply to Mr. Traill, the witness said that she was not aware what means of support Mrs. Curtis had, but that she seemed to be very badly off, and she (witness) believed had not property of any description, Mr. MAILL said that if that was the case, she had better be sent for the present to the workhouse, where she would be taken care of, if she had no friends to go to, until a certificate of her insanity was procured for her admission into a lunatic asylum. That it was dangerous to allow a person in her unfortunate condition to be wandering about the town, and that proper care would be taken of her. The poor woman, who seemed unconsciuu: of what was passing around her, was then conveyed to the workhouse. ' John Harfield, a tanner, in the employ of Mr. Smith, the leather dealer of Bermondsey, was brought up on a charge of robbing his employer. The complainant employs two hundred men, and of late a large quantity of leather has been missed from the premises, which, there was no doubt, was taken by some of the work men. On the preceding night the prisoner was suspected, and on being searched, a large quantity of leather was fuund tied about his legs, and with which he was in the act of leaving the warehouse, As other parties suspected of being engaged in the pinnder of the premises are still at large, directions were given to take them into custody, and in the interim the prisoner was remanded. John Ward, a tall raw-boned man, was charged with stealing a leg of lamb, belonging to the landlord of the Crown, in Beat-street. On the preceding afternoon the prisoner went into the Crown, from the tap-room of which an inviting leg of lamb was to be seen hanging up in the skittle•ground. The pri soner taking advantage of the temporary absence of the land lord, ran into the skittle-ground, took down the leg of lamb, and went away with it. The circumstance, however, having been witnessed, the landlord was informed of the fact ; and having ascertained where the prisoner lodged, the remains of a leg of lamb were discovered. The prisoner denied that he had been in the Crown at all ; and as the Magistrate was desirous that the complainant's statement might be verified as to the fact, the prisoner was remanded. CROYDON. A man named William Bates, who has for a great many years been confidentially employed by Mr. T. L. Robinson, wine and spirit merchant, and also a banker at Croydon, was taken before Messrs. Reed, Adams, and Sutherland, at the Town Hall, charged with plundering his employers to a very large amount in wines and spirits. Mr. R. Russell, of Croydon, attended in support of the prosecution, and a solicitor from London appeared for the prisoner. From the statement of Mr. Russell, and the evidence that was adduced, it appears that for a considerable time Mr. Robinson had missed large quantities of wine and spirits, but no suspicion was at first entertained of the prisoner, on- account of the long period he had been in Mr. Robinson's service, and the good opinion that was entertained of him. On the 2d of this month, a bottle, containing a gallon of gin, was found in the bottling-house, where it had no business to be, and Mr. Robinson's principal clerk, who was informed of the circumstance, directed that a mark should be placed upon the bottle, and that it should be watched. The bottle was subsequently re moved by the prisoner, and he was shortly afterwards taken into custody. Mr. Robinson, believing that many other persons were concerned in the plunder, and that his property had been feloniously removed by parties in the neighbourhood, then told the prisoner that if he would tell him the whole truth, and who were the re ceivers, he would not prosecute him. The prisoner at first denied that he had robbed his master, but after wards he admitted that he had stolen the bottle from the bottling-room, and he showed the officer where it was concealed under a bundle and some pea sticks in Mr. Robinson's garden. Upon the prisoner's house being searched by Inspector Collier, there were found no less than twelve empty bottles, some of which had contained wine, and others spirits of different kinds. A quantity of pale brandy was also found concealed in a clock case, and in other parts of the house several bottles full of gin were discovered, but the spirits, of course, could not be identified. The prisoner's solicitor did not attempt any :defence upon the merits, hut he urged that Mr. Robinson's observation to the prisoner amounted to such an inducement as would exclude the prisoner's con fession from being received in evidence, and, as the case was by no means complete without it, he was enti tled to his discharge. Mr. Russell, on the other side, contended that, even should the magistrates consider that Mr. Robinson's promise to the prisoner ought to exclude the confession, yet the act of the prisoner in taking the policeman to the place where the bottle was concealed was clearly evidence and coupled with the other circumstances made out a sufficient prima facie case to justify the bench in committing the prisoner for trial. The magistrates then consulted together for some time, when Mr. Russell said that if the bench really entertained a serious doubt upon the matter, he was sanctioned by Mr. Robinson to state that he did not desire to press the charge. The magis • trate then told the prisoner he would be discharged, but; he must not therefore imagine that the bench considered him innocent. They had doubt of his guilt, and but for the inducement that has been held out to him by Mr. Robinson to make a confession, he would certainly have been committed for trial. The prisoner was then discharged. THAMES POLICE. A good-looking young woman, named Mary Anne Adelaide Newman, was finally examined on the charge of creating a riot in the Old. Church, Stepney, on Tuesday . . The circumstances of the case are rather curious. It appeared that the prisoner had been acquainted with a young man, named Gregory Mathams, journeyman to a baker named Durand, in High-street, Shadwell. After twelve months courtship they went to church to get married, but were five minutes too late. He, however, put the ring on her finger, made her a solemn vow, and, after much persuasion, induced her to go home with him. The evening was passed amongst their mutual friends in the same manner as if the ceremony had been performed, and on his promise to wed her the first opportunity, she consented to cohabit with him. He postponed the performance of his promise from time to time, on the plea that he had no money to pay the clergyman, and to obviate this objection, she began to lay a little by, until she made out the amount. He promised to marry her on Monday last, but when everything was in preparation he made some frivolous excuse to delay the ceremony for a few days, to which she very reluctantly assented. On Tues day, to her utter sorrow and surprise, she heard he had gone to Stepney Church to get married to another young woman, with whom he kept company, and cohabited previously to his becoming acquainted with the prisoner. She hastened to the church to stay the proceedings, but only arrived in time to meet the wedding party coming down the aisle, and being very wroth gave the bride groom a slap across the face. Mr. Bl o6gair? remanded the case until Saturday, to see whether it would be taken up by the churchwardens, and having ascertained that it was not their intention to pursue it, said that they had shown a wise and humane discretion under the circumstances ; but it should be distinctly understood that such indecent practices would not be tolerated, and if the laws were again violated, the penalties must be put in force. The prisoner was then discharged. William Clarke, a dock cabman, was charged on sus ap after `Vestei r o non circumstancesi having a Do Docks, h yet lying in the h t ofinreF made rti°d i - t l h 2 a t t li ti z i:Zisoner was wee oug ai an d ti o c f ip t a h t e e L th eg at is i la t t w or il e l i f b i e r nfue.C.rtel,44atrs,e'l guiltless of the crime, the circumstances were curious, That matter is still ei and wel,ll - Tlculated to excite suspicion.

A good deal, however, has recently been accomplished. An excellent roadway and footpath have been formed between the Watering-stone and the stile at the north-end of the walk round Salisbury- Crags ; and that portion between the foot of Arthur-street and the road leading to the Powder Magazine is now nearly completed. One intermediate marsh between these two portions not having been yet drained, the junction of the two parts, now almost finished, cannot be effected till the operations connected with the drainage are completed. We under stand the drains will be commenced in the course of the ensuing month, and that this important link in the com munication will be completed with as little delay as pos sible. The portion finished under Salisbury Crags is now exquisitely beautiful, and daily attracts crowds of persons who take an interest in the work. The wall running up the valley has been removed, the debris from the hill and other incumbrances and nuisances cleared away, and the surface smoothed and sown with grass, already form ing a rich and verdant carpet.—Edinburgh Paper. STATE OF LARGE TOWNS AND POPULOUS DISTRICTS. —From a report prepared by the Commission for inquiring into the state of large towns and populous districts, just presented to Parliament, it appears that, in the course of their investigations, evidence was afforded of the pollution of wells and the increased offensiveness of emanations from sewers, caused by the infiltration of water passing through contiguous grave-yards. Among other important topics also inquired into by the Commissioners, was the subject of sanatory regulations for common lodging-houses, and the prevention of the filth and overcrowding which often render them the seats of contagious diseases, a question which atio Involves local regulations of police. Their at tention has also been invited to the means of giving facilities for providing " public walks, baths, or other convenient bathing-places in the vicinity of populous towns." But their attention has been especially turned to the means of improving the worst and the most crowded districts in large v""' • a subject of great importance and of great difficulty. t lo , ir anxious attention.

Mr. Loyd, in illustrating his principle that the Lames of paper should be regulated by the stock of bullion, goes over some historical ground, which well .deserves to be placed be fore the men of business of this City, all of whom are cog nisant, some of them painfully so, of his facts. Adverting to what are termed the " panics" of 1825, 1832, 1837, and 1839, he offers proof with respect to the first, third, and fourth period, that the intensity of them at least was owing entirely to the disregard A that principle ; and that in the second pe riod, that of 1832, the threatened consequences were averted by an adherence, even though partial and in some measure accidental, to that principle. This may be shown in much less space than Mr. Loyd has devoted to it, leaving those to consult his pamphlet who wish a complete acquaintance with the details and the figures, the utility of which there is no intention of dis paraging in this attempt at the brevity which we know to be always acceptable to City readers where it can be attained. His figures then show, with respect to the first period, when no returns were made of the country circulation, that the stock of bullion fluctuated as under : February, 1824 ... August, 1825 .. ... Millions. 13i Difference and that the Bank issues were in February, 1824 August, 1825 Millions. 194 19* Difference . That the Bank directors, in fact, paid no attention whatever to the abstraction of their bullion, or (relying, perhaps, on the "prosperity" doctrine of that time) thought it of no im portance to do so. The crisis which followed was the most dreadful which has ever occurred. Mr. Loyd's figures further show, with respect to the third period, that of 1837 (and we purposely leave to the last that of 1832, as forming the exception), that the stock of bullion fluctuated as under : Millions. September, 1833 ll March, 1837 4 Difference 7 Yet, taking the aggregate of the paper circulation, the country issues, as well as those of the Bank of England, the following results are exhibited : Millions. September, 1833.. March, 1837 Difference And the consequence, as deduced by Mr. Loyd, was the failure of some of the largest London houses, and the prostra tion for a long time afterwards of our foreign trade. Mr. Loyd's figures further show with respect to the fourth period, that of 1839, that the stock of bullion fluctuated as under : Millions. March, 1838 September, 1839 , . 2l Difference And with respect to the paper c i rcu l a ti on , th ese were the results— Millions. March, 1838 September, 1839 29 Difference This state of things led to the advance of the rate of inte rest to 6 or 7 per cent., to the loans from the banks of France and Hamburgh, and to the prostration of the ra tional character, as well as that of mercantile credit. The Bank had no control over the country issues, and did not like to disturb their own, for fear of reducing the dividend among the proprietors. In the second period, that of 1832, something like an ad herence to Mn Loyd's principle was manifested, not im probably because the Bank were then engaged in a negotiation for a new charter ; and these were the results :—The stock of bullion stood in— Millions. August, 1830 February, 1832 Difference And the paper circulation, taking that of the Bank (for the country returns had not then been established), was— Millions. 21i August,lB3o.. February, 1832 Difference " On this occasion," says Mr. Loyd, " the drain upon the bullion does not, as in all the other cases, terminate in a crisis ;" and he cites the following remarks upon it from a pamphlet of Mr. Horsley Palmer :-- "Although during this period the bullion in the Bank was diminished from 12,000,0001. to 5,000,0001., yet in the pro gress of this reduction, as there was no excitement, and no undue credit given by the banks in the interior of the coun try, the interest of money gradually rose from 2i to 4 per cent. ; and, then, without discredit or distrust of any kind, the bullion returned into the coffers of the Bank, and money nearly resumed its former value." We cannot help thinking the deduction made by Mr. Loyd from these figures, which, in order to facilitate comparison, we have simplified as much as possible, to be a sound one; and that had a contraction taken place when the bullion began to go out, the panics of 1825, 1837, and 1839 might have been much mitigated in character, if not wholly averted. This is the course to which the new Bill will compel the banks. It is impossible under any state of the currency to avert panics altogether, for merchants will ever trade when they perceive a prospect of advantage in whatever medium the goods are to be paid for; bait is probably the transi tion from peace to war, or the contrary, or extensive popular commotions, which alone need be regarded with any serious apprehension under the new system.— Tines.
