RIT of thie PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM 'THE EN 'ENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—The: Spectator ventures a kind of semi apology for Maj,or Wilde, to whose extraordinary indadministration. of the revenue-laws in the Carl isle coachman's ':ase, we recently drew attention. Otre generally sl...trewd Contemporary, after giving a summary of the facts, observes -‘ Bad as this case is, it seems to be one of pure bungling ; for there is no trace of malice or wilful op • pression on the part of the Major—who may yet, per haps, suffer for his jocund rough-and-ready style of administering law. It is, we say, very easy to ridicule and condemn these blunders ; but magistrates are not lawyers, and to err is not only human but especially natural in their case ; and prevention would be better than ridicule. It may be asked, why not abolish the unpaid magistracy ? It would be difficult, however, to find in any other class so available a staff of local jus tices—a set of men who are upon the whole intelligent, sensible, independent, humanely disposed because in easy circumstances, not needing pay, and combining in a porta ble shape a kind of judge and jury for preliminary, sum mary, and trifling proceedings. Much may be said against such a magiracy, but much more also for it than people always choose to remember. Moreover, it exists, and is likely to exist." Small comfort this to the sufferers from the " pure bungling" of thoseNagistrates who "are not lawyers." To the poor man who is subjected to ignominy, and the numerous personal and relative injuries involved in an illegal and unjust commitment to a felon's gaol, it is of little moment that the Magistrate, by whose warrant he is sent thither, had the best possible intentions ; " no trace of malice or wilful oppression" being manifest in his acts. The laws them selves lose that respect and veneration which constitutes their best security for being obeyed. When it is seen that, instead of being the pro tector of the subject, they are rendered the in struments of wrong-doing by the ignorance, if not by the direct intention., of the Magistrate to whom the Government entrusts their administration, the majesty of justice is degraded in her own Courts. The people, divested of confidence in the law, feel that its restraints upon. their conduct are loosened, and its requirements we deprived of their sanctions. " Judges and Home Secretaries" do unfortunately " treat the. errors of the Great Unpaid with a leniency that probably tends to remove some degree of check upon error." Instead of looking at the act—(and as the law does in most cases of personal injury) holding that ignorance of what a Magistrate is bound to know is no valid defence, much less a justification—the Judges surround the Magistrate with protection so ample and complete, that redress for injuries *committed by a justice of the peace in the performance of his office, except direct malice and wilful oppression can be proved, is of all things the most difficult to obtain by application to the Courts. As to a Home Secretary or Lord Chancellor troubling himself with the doings of a justice of the peace, in any matter in which a private person complains of injury from his negligence or ig norance, the idea is too ridiculous to be mentioned or heard with gravits:. The notorious Alexander O'Driscoll, Esq., - of the Macroom Bench—whose freaks have caursed his name to be familiar with the people of got;, England and Ireland, and whose re moval from, the Bench he has disgraced was regarded as an act which the Government no less owed-to them selves +..ncin to the country—this gentleman finds a Prote 4tor in the Lord Chancellor of Ireland ! After all :ois violations of decorum, his outrages of the laws, his manifest partiality, and other proofs of his unfit -n-ess for the functions of a Magistrate, Sir Edward Sugden—when memorialised by one of the many suGrers from Mr. O'Driscoll's conduct on the bench —sees nothing to call for his special interference; and directs his secretary to transmit the following answer to the memorial : " Sir—l am directed to inform you that the Lord Chancellor has made an inquiry, and has had transmitted t) hirn copies of the information before Messrs. Fleming and Somerville, and their warrant of committal. He d0. , 3 not think that Mr. O'Driscoll should have acted as a magistrate at all in his own case; but under all the cir cwnstances, he thinks" it is not a case in which he is called ; to act. Mr. O'Driscoll is, of course , liable to an , on action, if he acted illegally towards you. " I am, Sir, your obedient servant, " HENRY SUGDEN, Secretary. " Mr, Daniel Dinien." An, action ! " Mr. O'Driseoll is liable to an action, if 'ne has acted illegally" in the case alluded to ! What cruel mockery is this ! A poor peasant, who , carcely obtain sufficient potatoes for daily food; an English labourer, whose utmost earnings are, p'_ , rhaps, not above a shilling a-day ; a mechanic or operative, who finds it difficult to obtain em ployment, and when in work finds the day's wages barely enough for the day's necessities—for a Lord Chancellor or a Home Secretary to inform such a man that he may bring an action at law against Ya magistrate, a country squire of ample estate, who has perverted the laws to his injury, is a liyartless mockery of his complaint, and does but add ilisult to injury. Well might the poor memorialist of t te Irish Lord Chancellor against the wrong-doing of Mr. Alexander O'Driscoll say, in reply to the infor mation given him by the Chancellor's Secretary — It is of little or no advantage to me to be told by your Lordship that if Mr. O'Driscoll has acted illegally towards me I can obtain redress by an action at law. Tae redress to be obtained by such expensive means is beyond my reach, or the reach of any poor man like • int "Redress by an action at law" is a luxury in which the poor man must not indulge. The Courts of Jus tice are, it is true, open to all ; but, as Horne Tooke remarked, on hearing the aphorism, " So is the Lon don Tavern !" The Courts of Justice are open ; but woe to the wretch who enters, unless with a well-lined purse ! We have no desire to see the stnpaid magistracy abolished; but we do desire to see the administration of the laws, by their instru mentality, preserved from the egregious blunders and consequent wrongs which they often perpetrate. Either let the Legislature empower the Government to provide a competent clerk to every Bench, whose legal education and experience shall he as such as to ensure a practical knowledge of the law, and without IA hose presence no petty sessions shall be held, or any final conviethn or commitment be pronounced ; or let one or more stipendiary magistrates be appointed by the Crown to every county, whose duty it shall be to preside at the petty and quarter sessions held within the district to which he was appointed. If the Legislature would seriously apply itself to an investi ption of the evils involved in the existing system, there would be no difficulty in dei4sing, if not an ab- Fmlute cure, at least an extensive amelioration and im provement. STANDARD.—A case has lately occurred in Ire land, and has been allowed to make some noise in this country, which illustrates in a remarkable manner the danger of judging upon imperfect information. Twp persons were prosecuted at a county sessions , for the violent rescue of some property distrained for rent—the -defence set up was, that they had paid the rent by bills or promissory-notes still outstand ing, and that having so paid , they c onsidered that they had satisfied the landlord's claim. This was a plausible enough defence, and the changes were very liberally rung.upon the rapacity and cruelty of a land lord who could thus insist upon being twice paid for - his land. An explanation has, however appeared, which sets the affair in rather a lifferent light. It now turns out that the tenants, poor innocents, had indeed given their bills or notes for the rent, but that they were, as the day of payment approached, furtiv_ely removing all their property from the farms they occupied —in short, preparing to run away, and, of course, to leave the landlord to take up the bills at his convenience, and look for his rent where it might please him. The bills were, in fact, demanded because the tenants were from the first doubtful subjects, and because a recovery upon a bill is more easily.had than by an ejectment process, while generally it spares the landlord the necessity of watching the crops, though in the case of these sharp fellows it did not. The system may seem strange in England, but we are informed that it is common in Ireland, and that the tenantry generally like it, as giving them a little more time and more freedom in the disposal of their produce, when the tenant's personal security is worth anything. We advert to the subject, not only as a warning against drawing hasty conclusions upon Irish affairs, but also in.jus tice to the accused landlord, to whom we do not:find that any atonement has been made by the Ldndon journals that have treated him so roughly. Tn. VICAR OF ILFORD AND HIS PARISHIONERS.— Considerable interest has been excited during the last day or two amongst the parishioners of Ilford, on ac count of a decision recently come to by the vestry to re fuse payment to the beadle, pew-openers, and other sub ordinate officers of the church, by reason of the vicar's determination not to abandon the weekly offertory, preaching in his surplice, &c., contrary to the expressed wishes of the parishioners. On Sunday morning it was expected that these functionaries would have been ab sent, but the Church service was performed without al teration. The Rev. Mr. Bedford read prayers, and in dulged in the bowings and turnings which have given so much offence. The Rev. Mr. Baugh (the vicar) preached. Ile abstained from allusion to the differences which have sprung up in the parish. The only point to which he made reference was the performance of daily service, attendance at which he strongly urged. The church on Sunday was almost deserted. It is said that most of the intend henceforth to worship at an adjacent parishioners church, of which the Rev. Mr. Reynolds is the minister. SUDDEN DEATII.—Mr. Payne held an inquest yes terday evening at " The World turned upside down," Old Kent-road, on the body of John Dowden, aged 40, a stableman employed by Mr. John Bulstrode, corn chandler, in the same road.

SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EN ENING, JANUARY- 3, IM4. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. emphasis upon the frightful increase of those cases in which prisoners were charge 1 with cutting and maiming. The use of the knife could not be too strongly discouraged. His Lord ship observed, that it was unnecessary to trouble the Grand Jury with a recital of the several crimes which were set out in the calendar ; he would, therefore, only briefly allude to the cases in which some importance was indicated. There was one of a charge of manslaughter by persons calling themselves Mormonites, a sect of persons with whose tenets he was en tirely unacquainted, but he had been informed it was something in connexion with immersing a female in water in some bap tismal ceremony. There were many charges, also, of bigamy —a crime very frequently committed from a prevalent error, that there was no responsibility when the husband and wife had been separatedfor more than seven years. He would not longer detain them. The following is the list of charges which will be tried under this commission :-1 for arson, 1 assault with intent to rob, 12 burglary, 5 bigamy, 1 cattle-stealing, 4 cutting and maiming, embezzlement, 1 forgery, 1 horse stealing, 2 housebreaking, 12 manslaughter, 3 murder, 1 paaching, 2 rape, 1 sacrilege, 1 unnatural crime, 3 ♦arious other felonies, and 5 whose names are not down in the calendar. The cases tried during the day possessed no public interest. chambers of the defendant, and acting, not only as his charwoman, but as his clerk, and the Court refused a re hearing of the application, and Mr. Price was sent back to goal. The first thing he did when he obtained his liberty was to indict Acton for perjury, but the bill was ignored. He now, by the present indictment, sought to make out against the poor woman at the bar that she had suborned the person referred to make this alleged false affidavit. Mr. Price here entered the Court, having his wig and gown on, and The RECORDER asked him if he was ready to go on with the case? Mr. PRICE intimated that a witness, who was material to make out the case, was not at present in attendance. He then explained that the witness referred to was Sir Alexander Morrison, whom he should call to prove that Acton was at present a lunatic in Bedlam. The RECORDER said he did not see how this evidence could apply to the present charge. Mr. PRICE observed that it would account for the in dictment being preferred against the present defendant instead of the principal. The COURT ruled that the trial should proceed, upon which Mr. Price', requested an adjournment for a short period, which was allowed, and shortly afterwards he again entered the Court in his wig and gown. The RECORDER inquired of the Learned Counsel whether he intended to give evidence in the case. Mr. PRICE intimated that he did not, but that he should conduct the prosecution as counsel. The RECORDER said that as he declined to be a wit ness in a case where his evidence was required in contra diction to the alleged perjury, and which must com prise facts mainly within his own knowledge, he must. remind him that he would place himself in a position to have his conduct animadverted upon by the counsel for the prisoner under such circumstances. Mr. PRICE said he was aware of that, but he felt that the case was else of such a complicated character that he must conduct it himself. The RECORDER said that if he conducted the case it must be upon the understanding that he should refrain from stating any facts to the jury within his own know ledge; or which he supposed to be within his own know ledge, but he put it to the Learned Counsel whether, as a matter of delicacy, it would not be better that he should not appear as counsel, when he was the prose cutor. Mr. PRICE still persisted in conducting his case, and the Court eventually ruled that he should not address the jury, but should confine himself to examining the witnesses. Mr. Richards, a clerk in the Insolvent Debtors' Court, then produced the schedule of Mr. Price, his petition, and the rule for a re-hearing of his application to be dis charged. The affidavit of Acton, in which he swore that he had seen Mrs. Phillips act in the capacity of laundress, and also as clerk to Mr. Price, and upon which the allegations of perjury, and subornation of perjury, rested, was likewise put in. Witnesses were then called to disprove these allega: tions, and some of the testimony adduced was of a very singular character. Walter Hovendon, a lad about seventeen,_ deposed that he had acted as clerk and messenger to the prosecutor, and attended at his chambers in those capacities. H e remembered Mrs. Phillips coming to the chambers to inquire for Mr. Price, but he denied that he ever saw her engaged or employed by him, either as clerk or laundress, or in any other manner, during the time specified. In cross-examination, he said that he received no wages from Mr. Price, and he left his service because the chambers were in such a filthy condition. He also said that on Monday evening Mr. Price, the prosecutor, himself, a policeman named Rolla, and several other persons who were to be examined upon this indictment, were altogether at a public-house in Tower-street, and dined there, and Mr. Price smoked some cigars with them. Rolla, a police constable of the A division, was then called to prove that he succeeded the lad Hovenden as clerk to Mr. Price, and that during the time he officiated in that capacity Mrs. Phillips was not employed by Mr. Price. On being cross-examined, he said that he received no wages from Mr. Price, and he left his service to go into the police force. He at first denied that he had ever dined with the prosecutor, but afterwards adMitted that he did have " a mutton-chop" with Mr. Price, at the public-house referred to. He also admitted that he had subpoenaed the witnesses for the prosecution. Mr. CHARNOCK asked him, whether he had not in point of fact, acted as the clerk of Mr. Price ,• and whether he did not bring his bag. down to the Court that morning ? The policeman admitted that he did ca r ry Mr. Price's bag from the public-house to the Court, but he said he did not do so in the capacity of his clerk, but only because he requested him to carry the bag. A great many irrelevant facts were then brought forth, and the only evidence that appeared in support of the charge of subornation of perjury, was, that the per son referred to by the name of Acton, having sworn that Mrs. Phillips was a stranger to him, a witness was called who proved that she had called upon him twice, or some thing to that effect. Mr. PRICE having intimated that he had no more witnesses to call, The RECORDER expressed his opinion that there was no case to go to the jury. After some discussion, the Recorder put it to the jury whether they thought there was sufficient evidence for their consideration, or to warrant them in convicting the defendant of so serious an offence as subornation of perjury. The jury almost immediately expressed their opinion there was not, and at once returned a verdict of Not guilty. Mr. PRICE having made some remark, The RECORDER said that if the case had gone on he should have felt it his duty to remark upon the conduct of the prosecutor, a member of the bar, and a gentleman, sitting down in a public-house with a policam.tr. and other persons, who were to be the witnesses in support of the indictment he had preferred, and he could not help feeling that such c onduct was ' hi g hl y indecorous. and came that Mr. P R ICE- said som e of the witnesses were very poor, The RECORDER said t hat there was n o objec ti o n to his providing them with w hat the y - r e q uired ; ba t a p erson in the station of a barr ister ou g ht nut to have associated at from tey a were con siderabledistance, and he was bound to see provided for. with them in a public-house. Mr. PRICE then gave an intimation that he intended to prefer other indictments for perjury, arising out of the same transaction. Th e R ECORDER observed that, hearing the Learne d Gentleman express his intention to prefer other indict ments, looking at all the circumstances and the facts that had been produced as evidence, he called upon him to reflect seriously before lie decided upon adopting such a course. There seemed to be a very general feeling of commise ration for the poor woman who had been dragged be:ore the Court upon so serious a charge, under such circum stances, among the audience, and when the verdict was returned there was a manifestation of applause, which was, however, speedily checked. The members of the bar made a subscription on her behalf, and several pounds were handed over to her from them. 'From the London New Price Current of Jan. 2.) SUGAR.—To-day the West India Sugar market opened with firmness; a strong desire was shown to purchase good and fine yellow and dry grey descriptions, and of such the market was nearly cleared at prices 6d per cwt above those paid prior to the holidays. Brown and com mon yellow sorts met with a fair demand at full former rates.

(Before Mr. Baron ROLFE. ) George Mid leton, George Wilkinson, andi George Wilcox, were charged with highway robbery, with violence, upon the person of Ralph Leragg. Mr. Yardley conducted the case for the prosecution ; Mr. Allen defended George Middleton ; the other prisoners had no counsel. It appeared from the evidence, that on the night in question, the prosecutor was returning from a house in the neighbour. hood to Shelton, in the Potteries, linked to the arm of a friend, a caution his copious potations had rendered somewhat neces sary, when he was attacked by four men, who wrenched from him a stick he was carrying, knocked him down, and struck him upon the head until he was insensible, and then rifled his pockets. On the return o f his friend with assistance, the men made off, but the three prisoners were subsequently captured, and identified by the prosecutor and other witnesses. For the defence, it Was contended that, although a most aggravated and unjustifiable assault had doubtless been com mitted, still there was no evidence to prove that the prisoners had actually robbed the prosecutor, but that, in consequence of his intoxicated state at the time, he in all probability lost the money he alleged t• have been stolen. The Learne 1 JUDOE having summed up, The jury took the view •f the case suggested by the counsel for the defence, and found the prisoners Guilty of the assault only —They were sentenced to one years' imprisonment. Edwin Picken, an intelligent lad of 17, was charged with setting fire to a stack of hay and a stack of clover, the property of Henry Southwick, a respectable farmer residing at Brewood, in this county. Mr. Allen conducted the case on the part of the Crown; the prisoner was defended by Mllr. Yardley. The prosecutor, it appeared, had declined to receive the pri soner into his service, which refusal engendered, on the part of the latter, a degree of malignity that, after manifesting itself by a series of petty annoyances inflicted on the pro secutor, at length instigated him to perpetrate the offence of which he now stood accused. It was proved that several days previous to the one on which the stacks were fired the pri soner had purchased a box of lucifer matches ; that he was seen in the immediate neighbourhood of the rickyard but a very short time before the alarm was given, and that he alone of all the neighbours, not only abstained from offering any as sistance, but was not even present during the efforts that were made to extinguish the flames. It was further proved by a comrade of the prisoner, that, in a conversation they had re specting the fire, the prisoner observed, that at length he" had served the old•devil eat," and several other witnesses gave such an account of various sayings and doings of the prisoner with reference to the fire as were utterly inconsistent with his in nocence. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, but recommended him to mercy on account of his youth. The Learned BARON, after commenting in very severe terms on the heinousness of the offence, and the deliberation and vin dictive feeling which had marked its perpetration, sentenced the prisoner to be transported for 10 years. There are several eases that yet remain to be tried, and it is uncertain when the assize will terminate. SOUTH WALES.—Carmarthen, Dec. 31. THE REBECCA RIOTS. The judge (M r. Justice Cresswell) entered the Court a' nine o'clock on Saturday. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL announced, that after the deei , sion in the Dolanhirion case, he should enter a nolle prosequ en the charge of felony against Thomas Hughes, John Jones and Benjamin Jones, for the offence .at Pontarlliche, and re• move the minor charge by certiorari to the next assizes. If anything further should be done in the Dolanhirion case, the evidence would be best tested by proceedings in the Court of Queen's Bench. EXTRAORDINARY CASE:—David Evans, a farmer, and James Evans, his servant, were then charged with having, on the 30th of September, with others, riotously and unlaw fully assembled at Pantycerrig, in the parish of Llanfihangel Rhosycorn. Both prisoners pleaded not guilty. They were defended by Messrs. N. Carne and E. C. H. Hall. The ATTORNEY..GENERAL rose on behalf of the prosecu tion, and said, that the prisoners were indicted for a misde meanour and riot. The substantial charge was, that on the night of the 30th of September they, with others, demanded a sum of money from Thomas Thomas, of Pantycerrig, a farmer. He then proceeded to detail the facts, which will be found in the depositions and evidence. The object of the parties ap peared to have been not to remove any public grievance, real or imaginary, but to make the agitated state of the country subservient to their private purposes, and obtain a settlement of a claim or debt. Since the occurrences for which the pri soners were now arraigned, Mr. Thomas had been found dead. He did not, however, mean to hint that they were implicated thereby. The character of the county had been satisfactorily vindicated by a careful inquiry, which had given every reason for belief that Air. Thomas's death had been the result of an accident. The Attorney-General then read the deposition of Thomas Thomas, as follows :—" I live at Pantycerrig, in the parish of Llanfihangel Rhosycorn. I am a farmer. I remem ber, early on Saturday morning, the 30th of September, at about one or two o'clock, a number of people, about fifteen or twenty, came in disguise to my house, and called on me to come out with 51. They said they came on behalf of David Evans, of Bergwm, to demand the Si. in satisfaction for a trespass upon his corn by my cattle. I slid not go down to the door, but my wife did. In consequence of the door not being opened imme diately, I suppose they reduced the demand to 40s. I went out of the house amour; the crowd and was taken by the collar by a tall man in disguise, with his face blackened. He called himself 'Berra.' I was dragged against my will to Bergwm, a dis tance of about three •quarters of a mile. It is the house of the prisoner David Evans. They all acted in concert. Some had guns, and others horns. 1 recognised James Evans ; he be haved the worst to me, and shuffled me. I also recognised David Evans. James had a short old gun, and was disguised by having Isis face blackened. His clothes were not changed. David Evans was not so much disguised ; I knew him very well. They took me to a field near Bergwm, where we were desired to stop, while some went on, so as not to alarm the family. I saw David Evans go en first, and go into the house. They then took mil into the yard, and afterwards into the house. I saw David Evans, and told him that I had made up with him for ten shillings for the damage done to his corn. He said, The matter is now in these people's hands, and I cannot interfere.' They further demanded money of me, but I said that I had none. I then asked David Evans to allow me to stop in his house, as I was afraid to go out. James Evans seized me, and dragged me out of the house, in a different direction from my own house. He said he wished to kill me. 'Becca called out to him, Why, he took sue in that direc tion ?' 'Becca and the party then took me along the turnpike road to my own home. They called to my wife, and told her they had brought me back as they promised. '1 hey then gave me nine days to pay the money in, and said, that if I did not pay it by that time, they would come again, and would kill and burn." The ATTORNEY-GENERAL concluded his address by al luding to the recent Government prosecutions, and said, that the object had not been so much the punishment of every individual who took part in the disturbances, or were con cerned in the outrages, as to restore the authority of the law, to give confidence to those who were willing to obey it, and protection to those who were willing to assist in its just ad ministration. Robert Bray—l am a policeman of the A division of the metropolitan police. I knew the late Mr. Thomas Thomas, of Pantycerrig. He is dead. I saw his body the morning it was found in the river. George Spurrell—l am clerk to the magistrates at Car marthen. I took down the examination of Mr. Thomas. He was examined in the presence of the two prisoners. I saw him sign it. He was sworn. He was examined in Welsh, but understood sufficient English to make any correction required. He told his own story first. Mr. Price, the Magistrate, in terpreted it. He was not sworn as an interpreter. I took down the English as Mr. Price interpreted. I understood sufficient Welsh myself to interpret. Mr. Price put the whole of his story into English, omitting no part of it. Mr. John Lloyd Price—l am a magistrate for this county. I took the depositions of Mr. Thomas Thomas. He was exa mined in Welsh. He understood English. He corrected two or three words when it was read over to him. I took an examination previous to this, with a view to issue the war rants. I went to Bergwm. In consequence of the apprehen sion of those two men the houses of Mr. Thomas were burnt down. Thomas Powell and Rosa Thomas went with me to Bergwm. We could get no assistance from the parish con stables. Robert Bray was also there. We found David Evans, the prisoner, at home. He was in bed. I went from home about four o'clock in the morning. I reached Bergwm about six. David Evans, when he bad been apprehended, and as he was dressing, said, 4 . I know nothing of the servant, James Evans. I quarrelled with him a few days ago. He wanted to go to Breckfa fair. I was against his going, and I have not seen him since." I had previously desired the police to search the outhouses. They came in, and had found no one. I suspected something wan wrong, and asked David Evans again. He made the same statement. I sent the police out again, and I saw them tumble him out of the loft. I did not see him found. As far as I can remember the examination took place the same day. I remember in the course of the exami.• nation, when Thomas was stating about the 405., David Evans said, " We agreed before we left the turnpike-road to take 11." The deposition was then put in and read. Thomas Evans—l am a mason. I live with my father at Pynyffordd. That is about half a mile from Pantycerrig, and a mile from Bergwm. I recollect Saturday, the 30th of September. I was disturbed between 12 and 1 o'clock on that morning. I was in bed at the time. I got up and went to the window. I saw a good many people out. I don't know how many, it was too dark for me to see. I saw mere than three. I di 1 net see them all. I heard a great noise. The next thing I heard was a man calling out, " I warn you not to go to the farm. you have taken ; if you do we will burn your hay and corn, as we have done to your neighbours." My father had just taken a farm. The voice was that of James Evans, the prisoner. I did not see him, but I am well ac quainted with his voice. I sing in the same singing-school with him. They fired guns as they went away. After they were gone I got up and went out of the house. I went to wards Pantycerrig. I went into a field and saw a crowd pass by on the other side of the hedge. They were going towards Pantycerrig, and were within two fields of it. They blew horns and were armed with guns. They fired guns frequently, and from their light I saw something white about the dresses of the men. They were about 20. About 9 o'clock in the morning I went to Bergwm. The people there were all in bed. I knocked at the door and was let in by the girl. A short time after David Evans came down stairs. He was dressed. A gun was on the table in the kitchen. I said, " I think here is one of ' Becca's guns." David Evans said he thought it was. He appeared surprised at my remark. I then requested David Evans to come out with me. When he came out I told him that the servant that was at his house had warned my father not to take the farm. He said that he had not, for he had been in bed all night. David Evans then went into the farm. I went with him. David Evans told James Evans what I had said. James Evans came and raised his fist in my face, saying, "You devil, to tell that of me." David Evans then came forward and put his hand upon him, and told him to be quiet. I then went down to Pantycerrig. The next day I saw James Evans. He asked me why I had told Thom ms Thomas that he had confessed to me. I said I had not. James said a servant at Pantycerrig had told him so, and added, "If I had a chance I would put you quiet enough for saying so." I answered, " I don't know whether you will have an opportunity or not." He then replied, " If you tran sport we for sem year, I'll give you a coat when I come back." per gallon each.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Jan. 2. IN RE EUGENIE MARGUERITE EMMA CAYE. This case has been already partly reported in The Sun. The insolvent, who was a young female of great personal attractions, was a Ftenchwornan, and was one of the frail sisterhood. The body of her creditors, who were aware of this fact, opposed her discharge upon the grounds that she had received a great quantity of valua ble bijouterie as presents, which she had concealed. A great many witnesses, whose characters were of that nature which might be expected from the career of the insolvent, were examined, but amongst them was Mrs. Jane Wynne, the lady whose name has already been to prominently before the public in connection with the ab duction of her daughter, Miss Caroline Wynne. She had been a prisoner in the Queen's Bench prison at the suit of an individual to whom she protested she never was indebted, and whilst she was confined she said that to her great annoyance the insolvent had been placed in her room for five weeks, and although she (Mrs. Wynne) was a prisoner for alleged debt, yet she thought there should have been observed in the prison a better classification with respect to character, so far as the per sons confined were concerned. Mrs. Wynno gave, evi dence respecting the property possessed by the insolvent, from which it appeared that several articles had been given up to the messenger of the Court. Mr. WOODRUFFE, who appeared on behalf of the cre ditors, again resumed the argument that the insolvent had concealed property. Mr. COOKE, on the part of the insolvent, addressed the Court, and strongly inveighed against the conduct of those persons who first gave her credit and then expected to receive payment for their goods—goods for which a profit of cent. per cent. was charged—from the wages de rived by the truly melancholy course of life pursued by the insolvent. WINTER ASSIZES. WESTERN CIRCUIT. The Special Commission for the trial of prisoners in the county of Hants having concluded, it may be proper, in order to show the utility, or rather necessity, of a winter circuit, to give the result of the business in that county during the last week. There were 50 prisoners, 22 of whom were assize pri soners, 16 were acquitted, 6 pleaded guilty. The follow ing sentences were passed I transported or 21 years, 2 for 15 years, and 5 for 10 years; 1 im p risoned for 2 years, 5 for 1 year, 1 for 9 months, I for 8 months, 4 for 6 months, 1 for 4 months, 5 for 3 months, and the others for shorter periods. Would not the very variation in the sem vices prove that a winter circuit was necessary? It is a great maxim of our law that every one should be con sidered innocent until he be pronounced guilty by a jury. Is not this an argument for a speedy trial? An observer must have felt this maxim to be a great truth when every some of his own species marched through the town morning last week at Winchester he might have sees handcuffed two and two, and attached to a long chain, which reached from front to back of the cavalcade ; but if the observer would go into the court, he would see this glorious maxim still further carried out, by a prisoner -(of course, by law innocent) being placed at an iron bar, and compelled to stand during the whole of a protracted trial. Why not, as a matter of course, allow the innocent man a seat ? This was much harder formerly than it is at the pre sent day, because a prisoner used to be called upon to address the jury in his own detente," anti g.,-.1....ker-on has often seen a prisoner required to make his defence after he had been on his legs from 10 to 14 hours, an d this, perhaps, after an in carceration upon prison diet f seven or eight months. The mental vigour would hardly be improved by great bodily ex haustion. At all events, you do not act upon the great maxim of our law. Unless complaints are made, and abuses noticed, they will never be cor rec t e d, It may therefore be well t o mention another circumstance which might be altered. •Then a prisoner is arraigned he is told with what the indictment charges him, and to this is added, " and the indictment states that you have been before convicted of a felony." Now should not this last sentence be omitted until after the second conviction? It must have its effect upon the jury ; and it really does n o t f o ll ow, tha t because a man has been before convicted, h e s h ou l d b e g uilty of the second offence. There is an old ada ge , c. Gi v e a dog a bad name, &c., and the man having onc e h a d a b a d character, is sure to be the party sought for in case of an y offence being comm itted in his neighbourhood ; an d if h e is tried upon circ umstantial " evidence alone, the former conviction being thrown into the scale, makes up the case, and he is convicted. As a good character creates a doubt, and leads to an acquittal, sa does a first conviction remove a doubt, and cause a verdict of guilty to be returned. Every one who has the good or bad fortune to have any knowledge of our law is aware that there are innumerabl e l ega l fictions. One of these is, that an assize is co ns id ere d t o last but a day , and the conse quence is, that if a prisoner is acquitted on the first day of an assize, he is detained in gaol until the business of the assize is concluded, even though th at s h ou ld last for fifteen days . Some persons have imagined that the moment a jury h a d d ec l ar ed a man to be inno c e nt of the crime for which he w as i n di c ted, the prison d oors should be thrown open to him,that this was contra r y to our law, and and he should, of right, be set at liberty. Such, good reader, is the theory of our law, bit not the practice ; that law which is to rule and guide all persons, and by which all persons are bound, is full of absurdities and defects. The law tells an individual he shall not improperly , and without just cause imprison another, while at the same time that very law commits that injury itself. It has often ' been remarked that a gaol contaminates all within its walls, ' and yet, after an acquittal, and an application to a Judge to give an order for the release of the individual, that learned person has answered—" No, I think not ; he had a lucky es cape, and a few days' more i m p r isonment will do him no harm." L This is law from the judg men t seat, and an ac tion for false prisonment would be scout e d. A rich man on b ail is instant ly p liberated upon an acquittal. One would really begin almost to , think it was a fiction of law that there was not one law for the rich and another for the poor. Chester, Jan. 1. (Before Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN.) Precisely at eleven o'clock Air. Justice WIGHTMAN took his seat upon the bench (the Commission having been opened on Saturday), and after the proclamation against vice and im morality had been read, he proceeded to charge the Grand r Jury. His Lordship adverted to the nature of the Commis ) lion, and the heavy state of the calends, and dwelt with much The Learned CHIEF COMMISSIONER pronounced an impressive judgment. In allusion to the career pursued by the frail girl, who appeared in this Court as an insol vent, he said, " They laid down their souls at night to purchase the morning's bread," and persons like the op posing creditors, who knew such to be the case, and gave goods expecting payment from the proceeds of this course of life, should most certainly never meet with the protection from the Court which alone was intended for honest tradesmen. Still it was another question when the concealment of property was proved, and under all the circumstances of the case, he should remand the in solvent for five months from the date of her vesting order under the discretionary clause. The insolvent was then removed from the Court, and taken back to prison to undergo the sentence of the Commissioner. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before the RECORDER.) Sarah Phillips surrendered to answer an indictment preferred against her by Mr. Price, the barrister, charg ing her with having suborned one John Acton to commit wilful perjury. The jury being charged, and the defendant having pleaded not guilty, the prosecutor was called but did not answer. Mr. CHAUNOCK, who appeared for the defendant, said that he trusted as the poor woman at the bar had been in Court waiting to take her trial for a considerable time, that no further delay would be allowed. The circum stances under which the indictment was preferred were these :—The defendant was a poor woman who got her living by washing and charing, a,ad she had been em ployed by the prosecutor, Mr. Price, in those capacities, and he became indebted to her in the sum of 61. odd. Being unable to obtain her money, she sued Mr. Price in the Palace Court, and in that action the prosecutor pleaded that he was never indebted, but after a full in quiry the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for the amount claimed. A writ of execution issued, and Mr. Price was taken upon that writ, as he was returning from this Court. Mr. Price then, upon the ground that he was privileged as a barrister in returning from the Court, was set at liberty, but was afterwards again taken, and he then set up the plea that the writ had been satis fied by his former arrest, but the Court decided against him, and he was committed to the Queen's Bench Prison, and eventually applied for relief under the Insolvent Debtors' Act. He was opposed by the present defendant, and in the result ho was re manded for four months. After this Mr. Price ob tained a' rule for a re-hearing of the application, and upon that occasion a person named Acton, who had been made acquainted with the circumstances through the medium of the newspapers, came forward voluntarily and confirmed by affidavit the evidence that had been pro duced in support of the plaintiff's case in the action, by stating that he had frequently.seen Mrs. Phillips at the Mr. N. CARNE addressed the jury for the prisoners, and called John Evans, a boy, brother of the defendant Dav:d Evans, who swore that his brother and James Evans were in bed with him when " Becca" came to their house with Mr. Thomas. After a long cross-examination by the Attorney- General. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL put in an affidavit of the witness, that was sworn to by him for the purpose of obtaining bail fur his brother. This affidavit, when read, was diametrically op posite to the boy's evidence in several most important par ticulars. The sister, Catherine Evans, was then called. She was examined to the same facts, and, on her affidavit being pro duced, the same contradictions appeared. The counsel for the defendants then threw up their briefs, and stated their conviction that perjury had.been used. The prisoners were told the situation in which they stood, and were asked if they wished to examine any more witnesses? They replied in the negative. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL replied briefly, and the Learned Judge having summed up, the jury returned a verdict of Guilty.—Sentence deferred. The grand jury were then discharged, his Lordship express ing a hope that it would be long before they would be called together on a similar occasion. Philip Phillip, William Phillip, and William Harries, were charged with a riot and assault at Pound, in the parish of Llangunnor. The prisoner Philip Phillip was in a very weak state, having met with a severe accident. He remained seated during the trial. John Evans—ln the month of October I was employed to make distress on the goods of William Phillip. I met Philip Phillip the day previous, and told him that I was coming over to distrain. He said, " You had better not, for the mother and her children will be there to meet you." On the following morning I went to Pound with John Lewis. We met Philip Phillip. Phillip said, " You're come." I said, " Yes, I have." He said, " You had better go back, as Mr, Wilson has made a mistake in the account, and in next term we will see whether the award is right er wrong." I said I did not consider that the award had anything to do with the distress, as that had been a matter of dispute a few months previous, and that the son could do as he did with the March rent, he could replevin. The elder Phillip said, I had better ge back, and not go on. We then went into Mr. Llewhllyn's, at Nanty caws. Philip Phillip went with us. Mr. Llewellyn had been in company with Phillip when we met him. We all sat down, and Mr. Llewellyn said that he was of the same opinion as myself. We then went to Pound. We saw the son, William Phillip. The father pointed him out to us. The son said, " What the devil do you come here for, to ruin me ?" He said this in a loud tone of voice. A gun was then fired. It was fired a little distance. Two or three shots were fired in succession. A number of men sallied forth ; some from a field, some from the garden, and others from the haggard. They were all disguised. There were about 20 or 25. Lewis and I turned to run away; they pursued us, and brought us back. One of them struck at me. It was a tall man. He struck at me with a large bludgeon. I warded the blow off with my arm. He collared me with his left hand. He demanded the writs. He spoke in English. He had on a bonnet and a kind of goat's beard. He had a kind of handkerchief over his face. They compelled me to go back. About six or ten of them compelled me to go back. When we got back to Pound there were about lb round us in the yard. There were three or four who had guns. I saw Lewis as we were being taken back. He was bleeding from the head. His breast was covered with blood. They were all disguised, ex cept Philip Phillip and his son. Some had blackened their faces, o thers wore handkerchiefs. I was desired to pull off my clothes and walk naked back to town. The tall man told me this. I was then taken back to the house. I was desired to go on my knees. Philip Phillip was sitting in a chair by the fire. I went on my knees. The tall man ordered a Bible to be brought. Before he ordered the Bible he ordered me to burn my papers, which I did. Philip Phillip said in Welsh, " There was another paper." I produced it, and that was burnt. It was my authority to distrain. The Bible was then produced. The tall man handed the Bible to my hand. The cover was loose. He said the words I was to swear, that I would not come there again to distrain , "So h e l p me God." He told me to kiss the book, and I did so. At that time there were 18 or 19 round me. The room was crowded. - When the tall man made me swear, he held his stick up in a threatening position. Philip Phillip said that John Lewis was willing to go back on his first request, but the:fault was . upon me, as I was a relation of Mrs. Elinor Evans. By the COURT—I do not know who the tall man was. I had no opportunity of identifying him. The evidence of the last witness was corroborated by John Lewis, a bailiff, who accompanied him. On cross-examination by Mr. HALL, the witness stated that he was not mistaken in the identity of Harries, because the disguise came loose, and he saw his face and knew it well. Harries had on a mantle and bonnet, and hankerchief over his head and face. James Harries—l remember:going to Merthyr one Tuesday mornin g . Saw John Evans running from Pound to Caritar then. some people followed him. They were disguised, with the exception of Philip Phillip, and armed with sticks and guns ; there were from 15 to 20. They called out, " Catch him." John Lewis was in the middle of them, and was bloody. They took both Evans and Lewis back to Pound again. Mr. HALL, for the prisoner Harries, called several witnesses to prove that he could not possibly have been at Pound at the time mentioned by the witnesses for the prosecution. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL replied, and His Loansitie summed up at very great length. The jury, after deliberating for some time, returned a verdict of Guilty against Philip Phillip and William Phillip, but Ac quitted William Harries.—Sentence deferred. • POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) MANSION-HO USE. Mr. Butes, an artist of (it was said) considerable talents, was brought before the Lord Mayor and Alder man Humphery from the Giltspur-street Compter, in which prison he has been confined six months, in conse quence of having used threats against Mr. John Master man, M.P., from which threats, and the general conduct of the defendant, danger was apprehended by Mr. Mas ternian as likely to ensue. Mr. Wooler, who attended on the part of the defen dant, submitted to the Bench that his client had been six months ago charged with having used threats towards Mr. Masterman, and ordered to find bail in two sureties of 1001. each, and to be bound himself in the sum of 2001. to keep the peace and be of good behaviour for the space of two years. Now he had to assure the Bear.,!h that Mr. Bates entertained no whatever against the Hon. Gentleman whom he was accused of having threatened, and whom he would in no way annoy, or give offence to, under any circumstances. The present application was for permission to Mr. Bates to put in bail to the amount of 501. instead of the heavy sureties required, and which could not be procured. It appeared from what was stated by Mr. Wooler, as well as from the representation of Alderman Hum phery, and particularly from what fell from the defendant himself, that a very remarkable delusion had marked the case all through. Some years ago the defendant tried his fortune in railroad shares, when opulence was expected to start out of every scheme. He purchased some shares in the Northern and Eastern Railway Company, of which Mr. Masterman was a Director. The project, it appeared, was not successful, and Mr. Bates was a loser as a matter of course. As, however, he had embarked all the money he possessed in the speculation, the loss was very serious to him, and he took it into his head that the Directors were not only bound to make good to him the whole amount of injury he sustained, but actually to supply him with the means of present and future support. A Mr. Bagshaw, one of the Directors, was the first from whom Mr. Bates demanded pecuniary reparation, and the case came on at the time, before the authorities, in due form ; subsequently having experienced great kindness and liberality from . Mr. Masterman's family, who commisserated him, he fancied that his benefactors were merely performing a duty which was to have no end, and after he had exhausted their patience he commenced a system of written and verbal threats, for the pin pose of compelling them to administer to his necessities. At length it became necessary for Mr. Masterman to adopt the appeal to the City Magistrates. Alderman Humphery's statement, which was to the above effect, was uncontradicted in its main points by the defendant, who, instead of leaving the matter in the hands of his legal adviser, proceeded to explain, and confirmed the Magistrates in their opinion, that they ought rather to allow the application to be made to the Quarter Sessions on Saturday next, than to decide upon its merits themselves. The defendant admitted that he had received very large sums of money from Mr. Masterman, but it was quite evident that the more he received the more he expected to receive, and when questioned by the Lord Mayor, who charged him with having endeavoured to establish a livelihood for himself by intimidation, he de clared that ho wanted no money, that he merely wanted to try whether he had any legal claims upon Mr. Mas terman, as he had been given to understand he had by an intimate friend of the Duke of Wellington, and the late Duke of York, and afterwards, should his legal claims prove to be imaginary, whether he had any moral claim. He then ascended high into the regions of fancy. He was finally remanded with the intimation that his appeal must be made to the Bench of Aldermen at the Quarter Sessions, on Saturday. where, if articles of the peace should not be exhibited against him, he would bo discharged from custody altogether. GUILDHALL. MASQUERADING.-4 stout young fellow, whose whim it was to be nameless for the present, was introduced to Mr. Alderman Gibbs, habited in smockfrock, corduroys, and hobnailed high-lows, and to all appearance as un likely a subject for masquerading in petticoats as Fat Jack, in the " Merry Wives of Windsor." City paliceman 322 stated that late on Monday even ing lie observed a lady perambulating Chatham-place, Blackfriars, land " carrying herself" in such an extra ordinary manner as to create in him serious suspicions. He accordingly watched her motions, and perceiving her at last suddenly 'slip down the bridge-stairs he con cluded that she was mad, and was about to seek the cold water cure for her complaint in the-Thames. He ac cordingly hurried to the stairs to prevent such a catas trophe, but what was his surprise, on arriving there, to find that the lady had vanished, and the rustic youth at the bar substituted in her place. The mys tery, however, was soon explained on examining a basket which the prisoner carried in his hand. He had disrobed himself of his feminine apparel on the stairs, as rapidly as erst Mathews in a monopoly logue, and in the basket were found the identical gown, shawl, bonnet, and boa, which had attracted the wit ness's notice in Chatham-place. On being asked what he was about, the prisoner assumed a new character— namely, that of a deaf and dumb ploughboy —and he sustained it all night at the station-house with imposing effect, until at last, his articulation returning with his appetite, he undeceived the inspector and his men, by demanding, more audibly than was necessary, " When the devil they were going to bring him his breakfast ?" The ALDERMAN asked the prisoner who he was and what he had to say for himself ; but he was again as deaf and dumb as a woolpack, and the Alderman or dered him to solitary confinement in the Compter until he should be in the humour once more to recover his speech. CHARITABLE DONATIONS.—The ALDERMAN requested to acknowledge the receipt of a donation of 10/. to the poor-box, from the Goldsmith's Company ; of a similar donation from the Grocers' Company, and of 4s. from another source. WORSHIP-STREET. John Davis, alias Blythe, and Henry Robinson, two men of notorious character, were charged before Mr. 811'1011404 with having burglariouely Catered the ware- 115 313( 65 210 123 9 [2OO 155 100 117 360 Ail paid 19 5 8 100 0 0 100 0 0 78 8 0 6'7 10 8 105 0 0 110 0 0 100 0 0 Stock Stock 147 9 0 Stock 50 0 0 00 2 8 0 0 0 0 70 10 3 SOO 0 0 25 0 0 100 0 0 100 0 0 50 0 0 250 0 0 250 0 0 50 0 • 100 0 0 100 0 0 50 0 0 1000 0 0 20 0 0 20 0 0 20 0 0 Stock 100 0 0 25 0 0 25 0 0 500 0 0 100 0 0 100 0 0 100 0 0 50 0 0 25 0 25 0 0 20 0 0 50 0 0 20 0 0 100 0 0 5 0 0 Stock 100 0 0 100 0 0 20u 0 0 40 0 0 50 0 0 10) 0 0 100 0 0 100 0 0 50 0 0 23 0 0 100 0 0 10 0 0 50 0 0 100 0 0 20 0 0 50 0 0 25 0 0 50 0 0 20 0 0 •10 0 0 20 0 0 77 10 0 50 0 0 20 0 0 20 • 0 20 0 0 100 0 0 100 0 0 75 0 0 50 0 0 50 0 0 50 0 0 25 0 0 30 0 0 50 0 0 100 0 0 50 0 0 5) 0 0 50 0 0 50 0 0 25 0 0 100 0 0 41 13 4 100 0 0 30 0 0 100 0 0 t 3 12 9 109 0 0 100 0 0 100 0 0 100 0 0 100 0 0 100 0 0 25 0 0 50 0 0 12 10 4) 100 0 0 100 0 0 100 0 0 50 0 0 20 0 0 50 0 0 100 0 0 100 0 0 50 0 0 25 0 0 50 0 0 10 0 0 16 13 4 hl 15 4 100 0 0 32 0 41 6 10 13 15 9 100 0 0 50 0 0 70 0 0 70 0 0 100 0 0 100 0 0 50 0 0 50 0 0 50 0 0 20 0 0 100 0 50 0 25 0 0 50 0 25 0 5 0 0 15 0 0 100 0 0 1 -70 101% 21 3 17 3 2219 t 60 0 0 40 0 0 2 10 0 10 0 0 5 0 0 250 0 0 All paid 2 0 0 S 0 0 36 10 0 2 10 0 2 10 C 50 0 0 10 0 0 5 13 0 10 0 0 2 0 0 12 10 0 12 10 0 2 10 0 2 0 0 1 0 0 10 0 0 10 0 0 5 0 0 6 5 0 20 0 0 40 0 0 40 0 0 59 0 0 200 0 0 25 0 0 20 0 0 20 0 0 10 0 0 7 10 0 25 0 0 10 0 • 17 10 0 35 0 0 10 0 0 10 0 G 25 0 0 10 0 0 16 0 0 18 o 0 19 0 0 50 - 0 . 0 20 0 0 100 0 0 75 0 0 62 10 0 28 0 0 50 0 0 50 0 0 20 0 0 30 0 0 sloe I sooo 25 0 0 4800 10 0 0 25 0 0 house of Messrs.

The prisoners were further charg„ed with haVing been concerned in the commission of an extensive burglary, at the premises of Messrs. Leaf and Co., of Old 'Change ; and also with having being im plicated in several other robberies. The Court was crowded during the investigation, which attracted an unusual degree of interest, in con sequence of the extent, and daring nature of the depre dations, the successful perpetration of which had led to the suspension from their duties of several City policemen. Mr. George Storer, of the firm of Reilly and Company, stated that their warehouse was broken open during the night of Dec. 12, and a large quantity of communion plate, together with several massive silver snuff-boxes, were abstracted from it. The thieves effected an en trance by breaking through the skylight window in the roof of the warehouse, He identified three silver snuff boxes now produced as part of the stolen property. Thomas Durant, shopman to Mr. Sowerby,n- pawn broker in Chiswell-street, produced one of the boxes, and identified the prisoner Davis as having offered it in pledge on the evening of Saturday se'nnight. He had previously seen a placard containing an account of the robbery, and offering a reward of 501., for its detection, and as the box presented by the prisooer corresponds d with the description of those stolen he gave him into. custody. Mr. ,Tames Leach, pawnbroker, 156, Hoxton Town, produced another silver snuff-box, which he identified the prisoner Robinson as having pledged for 21., on the 12th tilt Mr. Pierce, the superintendent of the detective police, stated that the prisoners had lodged togethir at the house of a widow named Smith, in Lloyd's-row, Clerkeu well, and on searching their apartment, he had found a carpet-bag, containing 22 skeleton-keys, and also an im plement of a very novel and ingenious construction, for cutting out thCpanels of doors and shutters, which it was calculated to effect with remarkable ease and celerity. He also found a great number of duplicates, relating to property connected with other robberies. Mr. BINGHAM said that as the evidence in the present charge was complete, lie should commit the prisoners at at once upon it. The case preferred by Messrs. Leaf, Smith, and Co., of Old 'Change, was then gone into. Mr. Michael Brankston stated. that he was in the em ploy of Messrs. Leaf and Co., whose warehouse was forcibly entered through a skylight in the roof on the night of the 6th ult. An immense quantity of property was stolen, amongst which were eighty pieces of ribbon and three pieces of black satin of French manufacture. A reward of 2001. had been offered for the apprehension of the robbers. After other witnesses had been examined, Super intendent Price said both the prisoners had been con victed of felony, and he mentioned as a remarkable cir cumstance that Robinson, in the year 1838, carried on business as a warehouseman next door to Messrs. Reilly, the prosecutors in the first case. He requested that the prisoners might be remanded to enable him to bring for ward further evidence in support of the last charge, and also to establish further cases against them. The prisoners were accordingly remanded for a fortnight. UNION-HALL. Yesterday the drivers of Ball's Brixton omnibus, and Sprat ley's Vauxhall omnibus, were summoned, at the instance of the proprietor of the former vehicle, for furious driving, and endangering the lives of the passengers. Mr. Balls, addressing the Magistrate, said he brought for ward the present charge more with the view of protecting the public against accidents from furious driving than to punish the drivers for the damage oae of his vehicles had sustained from the violent collision that had taken place on the occasion. It was then given in evidence that on Wednesday evening last the two omnibuses in question met together near the Rockingham Arms, at the corner of the New Kent road, on their way to the City. The vehicles, which had been standing adjacent to the above spot, started off toge ther, and in their eagerness to see which would first get through the Newington turnpike, they came up abreast of each other, and at the moment they we passing the gate, a most vio'ent collision took place, by which, as one of the witnesses (the toll-collector) described it was only astonish ing that both vehicles were not smashed. As it was, the driver of one of the vehicles was thrown off his seat into the road, and also an outside passenger, but neither sustained much injury. The driver of the other omnibus did not even pull up, or stop a moment to inquire the extent of the damage caused by such reckless conduct, but drove on towards the City. Mr. MAUL took great pains in ascertaining which of the defendants was most blameable on the occasion, but after the examination of the witnesses on each side he came to the con clusion that the conduct of both was equally reprehensible. The Magistrate added, that he considered it as an instance of such gross misconduct on the part of the defendants, that it was a proper case to send to the sessions. It was however intimated that the driver of Spratley's om nibus was to be discharged ft om his situation, and, as an ap peal was made to the Magistrate not to send the case for trial, he at length consented to impose penalties of 40s. each on the defendants, adjudging, at the same time, the driver of Sprat , - ley's omnibus to pay half the damage sustained by the vehicle. INTERESTING TO MARINERS.—Through the inter cession of the Hon. Grantley Berkeley, M.P., with the Trinity Board, the dangerous reef of rocks in Christ church Bay, on the Hampshire coast, has just been properly buoyed. The rocks are known as the Christ church Ledge, and have long been dreaded as verf perilous to navigation. THE TOBACCO TRADE.—From the result of the interviews had by deputations of the tobacco trade with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, it is inferred that 1?0 reduction of duty is contemptuted, but that there will be an alteration in the Excise-law affecting the article. This wilt be news for many in the trade. Mr. George Hope, M.P., arrived in town yesterday from Ditton-park, the seat of Lord Montagu. TEAS AT WHOLESALE PRICES. A. Good Common Black 3s. Od.
