GLOBE.—The reported omission of sixty-three names from the special jury panel, and the probable result upon the proceedings of this strange negli gence, or something worse, on the part of the func tionaries whose duty it was to preserve the list intact, was commented upon at some length in yesterday's Globe. The discovery was alluded to by the Dublin correspondents of every London journal of yesterday, without respect to its political character. From the universal credence given to the rumour, it was regarded as unquestionably true. The Dublin Monitor of Wednesday (received yesterday) also gave the report ; accompanied by a circumstantial explanation of the mode by which the missing sheets of names was accounted for. No contradiction is given of the report by this morning's ar rivals from Dublin, where the rumour still prevailed. An application was to be made yesterday by the prosecutors to the Court, that in the event of the trials not having terminated on the 31st inst., each succeeding day, up to the 15th of April, should be considered as a continuation of Hilary Term for the purposes of the said trials—a course determined on, it was generally supposed, on the discovery of the omission, and to meet the exigen cies of the case. The Times of this morning assumes the truth of the facts as they have appeared, but sug gests that the omission of the 63 names will not operate to vitiate the panel, or retard the trials. The Standard, more vigilant than discreet, employs its proverbial sophistry to raise doubts respecting the truth of the report. I laving stated, from a careful examination, that the first name on the list is "John Alley," and the last " John Yeates," it then infers that their can be no lost sheets containing 63 names; *for there could not be 63 names before John Alley after John Yeates." As a specimen of our Contem -perary's mode of settling, byassumption, a matter which is by this time placed beyond question by an official ad mission or repudiation of the statement, the following extract from the Standard's article may suffice :- -"In order to meet the possible case, that the numbers were not prefixed to the names in the first instance, and that they, in consequence, do not furnish complete proof of the integrity of the list, we have applied an other test. We have taken the last Dublin Directory list of the resident nobility, gentry, merchants, trus tees, &c., and having pretty accurately ascertained the number of names under each letter, have applied the ratio of names in the Directory to the ratio of the names in the list, and find them to correspond with wonderful precision. We are thus confirmed in our opinion that there is nothing in the story of the missing sheets." To this very ingenious mode of mystifying a matter of fact, we might oppose—first, the high probability that if the statement were not true, it would before this have met with an au thoritative contradiction; and, secondly, that—taking the Standard's own mode of disproving " the story of the missing slieeit'iroisiy to assume that the two missingsliWti consist of the first and last of the series, and the whole fabric of the Standard's inferen tial argument in disproof of the story falls to the ground. The Court Circular of this morning con tains au announcement which seems to strengthen the rumour respecting this " untoward event." Another Cabinet Council (the third during this week) was held yesterday. The Council sat three hours. All the Ministers were present. Such frequent meetings of the Cabinet, and such long deliberations, imply the existence of a dilemma which calls for combined counsel, and the necessity of providing means for meet ing difficulties which have arisen suddenly, and the existence of which were not anticipated. The ex clusion of every Catholic from the panel is, however, felt by the Times to be the pinching difficulty. That extraordinary stretch of prerogative—involving at once the determination, on the part of the Go vernment, to pack a jury, in order, if possible, to obtain a verdict at any cost; and this, though the in sult and injury inflicted upon the religion of seven eighths of the Irish population by the monstrous pro ceeding should inflame the public mind in Ireland to a pitch of irrepressible excitement. This reproach the Government—rail as its supporters may at thase who denounce the ill-advised and indefensible act — cannot roll away. The blunderings which have oc curred in the course of the proceedings may be attributed to subordinates. The Times may deplore " the way in which Irish placemen dis charge their duties," and " the manner in which an English Government is likely to be served." The instructions to strike every Roman Catholic name from the panel was, manifestly, the orders of the Government. The idea was conceived in the spirit which would subjugate by intimidation a people it lacks the generosity to propitiate by treating them as fellow-citizens ; and is a practical exemplifi cation of the never-to-be-forgotten fulmination of the Lord Chancellor Lyndhurst—" The Irish people are aliens." The Times endeavours to justify the pro ceeding; but does so in a way which—if the writer of the argument be not deemed insane, and there fore noetnewerable fur his own acts, and whose acts ought not to be allowed to damage others—must be taken as demonstrative of the insecure tenure on - which Ireland is held by the British Crown under a Tory Ministry. STANDARD—.The Morning Chronicle infers, from the impunity hitherto indulged to Mr. Cobden and the Leaguers, that the Repealers ought not to be prosecuted. To this we reply, " Wait a while." Mr. Cobden and the Leaguers, whatever sums of money they may exhibit upon paper, whatever con verts they may gain among the silliest of silly people —" foolish lords,"— and they have succeeded in catching three of the softest heads in the House of Lords—whatever the Leaguers may say or do, they are at present simply con temptible. Let the . Leaguers remember that Mr. O'Connell and his associates had their " day of grace," a much longer day than the Leaguers have yet had ; that the Repealers had " three warnings," whereas the Leaguers have not yet had one. Let tinkm, then, not be jealous if the O'Connellites are prosecuted and they are not ; all in good time. Let the Leaguers, if they are really candidates for martyrdom, speak out as plainly as Mr. O'Con nell spoke at Mallow Clifden, Tara, and our own ever memorable " dullaghmast of the Martyrs ;" above all, let them organise militasy processions, and meetings of t ens of thousands to threaten the public peace. But no; the last they neither can nor will do ; cannot, because even hundreds will not assemble, unhired, at their call; and if th ey were to take part in any very public procession, according to late experience, it would be a procession in their favour to some shallow horse-pond. At present the League is merely an object of disgust and -etritempt to the country, and it hourly be comes more loathsome and contemptible ; but the rule is " De minimis non curet lex," and they who are appointed to put the law in motion, only upon proper occasions, act - wisely and constitutionally in winking at petty follies, and even at crimes that are only ridiculous. Perhaps the time may come when the League will be properly prosecuted as a swindling conspiracy—but we confidently predict that it will never be worthy of a State prosecution in any other aspect. "The Government unable to enter thF , lists against the repealer of the corn-laws ! In what county of England could such a pro position be gravely maintained without provoking a burst of laughter ? Let the League dispose of Mr. ]'errand, who alone is wore than a match for them, and even then they will have enough to do, before they can be in a condition to challenge the Government. DRATII or LADY BURDETT.—We deeply regret to announce the death of Lady Burdett, which took ipl!tee yesterday morping in St. James's-place, at twenty Inmates past eight. IRELAND. From the communications of our Irish correspondent in the Times of yesterday, there may be ground—whether conclusive or otherwise, as yet we know not —for suspecting, that the old Irish demon of " bad luck" has been busy, and somehow or other managed to "bewitch the milk." In short, it is not merely that Air. Pierce 11Iahony has sworn another folio affidavit, in the hope once more to postpone the evil hour of the trial, but that an oversight, and a grave one, is said to have been committed by some subordinate functionary or other in his treatment of the special panel on its passage from the Sheriff to the Clerk of the Crown. The tale imports, that upwards o f 60 names among those retuTned by the Recorder on revision had been emitted from the list before its delivery to Mr. Kemmis. We hear it further stated, that of the names thus left out, the majority were Conservatives aid Protestants. Now, it is not for us to say how far an act of this description, should it prove true, may serve to vitiate the panel, or to retard the trial, if at all. Any possible motive of cor ruption or bad faith, in the subaltern officer at least, for the benefit of the Crown, seems to be completely negatived by the fact that the greater portion of she missing names were Conservative. Moreover, an air of something even beyond ridicule is flung over the entire history by a repeal newspaper, which stammers away about re. corder. Shaw and Sir Robert Peel having themselves tampered with the list, which was sent over to them at Tamworth ! pre vious to its final arrangement. If the account even of the carelessness, however, be confirmed (we ask no more), what a picture does it hold out of the way in which Irish placemen discharge their duties, and of the manner in which an English Government is likely to be served ! On the other hand, scarcely does a post come in from Dublin without fresh proofr, as if such were needed, of folly and ferocity in the partisans of men appealing ostensibly to the laws of their country, which, in the course of our long experience, we have never seen sur passed. There have on this occasion of the O'Connell trials been made—lst, an attempt on the part of the town-clerk, so far as in him lay, by withholding the corporation books, notwith standing notice to produce them, to suppress the evidence whence it would appear that certain persons, magistrates and town-councillors, were disqualified by the 3d and 4th Victoria, from acting as special jurors. The plain purpose of which was to pack a jury, and to commit the peace of the country to a panel of furious Repealers. For be it known that Mr. Forde, who withheld the books, besides being town-clerk to the O'Connell corporation, is likewise attorney to the traverser:! 2d. A second attempt of the brawlers for constitu tional purity and liberty was, as we have already seen, to deter, by loud menaces, the Crown solicitors from discharging their own imperative duty, and from exer cising the lawful and obvious right of their clients, by striking out from the jury-list the names of men from whose known devotion to the traversers, an unfair acquittal might with all confidence have been expected. 3d. The next at tempt for the indirect destruction of trial by jury was, by abusive publications and factious advertisements, to insult and degrade the jurors remaining en the panel, daring them to find a verdict of guilty in the teeth of an interdict from a silly Alderman in the Town Council, impotting that the " prosecutions ought to be dropped altogether by the Crown !" 4th. The last attempt of which we yet have heard, although it would be rash to calculate on what another day may bring forth, is to stir up some sham commotion in the country. by representing the decent, sober, and merely technical discharge of their duties by the officers of the Crown, to be such a flagrant outrage upon the whole Roman Catholic body, as calls at this hour of factitious excitement for an "aggregate meeting" of those millions thus industriously exasperated, to sweep away the whole administration of criminal justice by bursts of clamour and pageants of multitudinout force. Every rational being must construe such a course of flimsy, senseless, and utterly fruitless violence as an index not only of conscious wrong, but of un deniable apprehension for the result of this political and judicial struggle. It is the tendency of power to be composed, of im potence to be fretful and whilst all the world must admit that the Queen's Government has not erred on the aide of eager ness or anxiety for battle, the opposite party have with equal truth disgraced themselves by offensive a rro ga nce while danger was distant, and a shabby, sulky, and snappish queru lousness, as it approached a little nearer. Nothing could exhibit a more discreditable contrast than Mr. Daniel O'Connell's whole de meanour before the Queen's Government showed signs of vigi lance with regard to him, and since the adoption of their more animated and active policy. The first metamorphosis wrought upon this grand :incendiary was the work of the Queen's speech, wherein, according to seaman's phrase, a shot was fired " ahead of him." It was meant for a warning, but it had a more manifold operation. It did warn, to be sure; but it also irritated,. provoked, frightened and perplexed him. During the session, and while the Minister seemed asleep, O'Connell's fierceness was not merely boisterous—it was buoyant, impatient, savage. Her Majesty spoke, and the effect was instantaneous. Still be was equally loud and boisterous ; but the swagger was more circumspect, the ill-temper more guarded, the defiance mere vague, the growl more crippled. Such was the interme diate condition of the disturber. Next came the proclamation, finally the prosecution, and away at once went all of glorious war, even the " pomp and circumstance." The fight was evidently out of him. No more appeals to physical force, nor talk of triumphant millions—nor trumpet, summoning his re tainers to this broad field and that fair mountain—whether the recorded or the fabricated scenes of Celtic prowess—all sub sided from royal riot into " the better part of valour." The collision of arms degenerated into that of chicane. Forms of turbulence, obsolete for many years, are now again resorted to. " Aggregate meetings"—an innoxious imbecility—are called for ; petitions are to be prepared—the prosecuting parties before the Court are to be abused—national movements are to be sus• pended, or rendered susceptible of no better than a paltry galvanic impulse. Hopes are insinuated that Government may relent and withdraw its no longer despicable charges I To all this we answer—execute the laws. Surrender them— and you, the Queen's Ministers, will be abandoned by them ; and we, the unoffending portion of the Queen's subjects, may have to seek the protection of our lives and properties from the heartless, ruthless, and finally futile bayonet. Therefore, and to the last we say, for the sake of civil government, execute the laws ; meet evil report and good report—meet corrupt knavery, and calumny, and falsehood—meet licentious incitement, by even-handed justice, temperate, unflinching, and, when once victorious,—merciful, if you will. We have condemned, as unauthorised by equity and integrity, the gross assaults made upon the Crown and its officers fir the strict performance of their unquestionable duty—with regard to the formation of the jury. It appears to us that, setting aside the mischievous male volence of such conduct, nothing could be more glaring than its folly. Was it for the so-called representatives of the Irish " Liberals" to hold out to mankind the whale body of the Roman Catholic gentlemen as leagued and identified with O'Connell and his accomplices in this conspiracy to overthrow the State ? Was it for Mr. Pierce Mahon) , and Mr. Forde to tell the people of England—" Your Government in Ireland shall not be suffered to enjoy the acknowledged rights of plaintiff or pro secutor in a court of justice against the enemies of the Imperial Crown, if' it should turn out that the individuals affected by the exercise of such rights are members of the Church of Rome ?" is this the pretension of the Roman Catholic body, that individuals appertaining to it shall be allowed an exemption from those restraints of law to which all Protestants are sub jected ? Is that the equality so preached about by our libera tors—that while a Protestant repealer is quietly struck off the panel, a Roman Catholic repealer shall be continued thereon, on pain of a universal outcry ? The clamour amounts to this acknowledgment, and no less—viz., that all Roman Catholics, without exception, are to be considered as de facto conspirators against the union ; that their religion is at once to absolve them from the consequences of all transgressions, both temporal and eternal—to guard their persons in every conflict with human law, and to confer on them a charter of impunity. Our justifi cation of this reasoning we do not scruple to state—namely, that one and all of the individuals excluded in this instance by peremptory challenge of the Crown were avowed and known members of the Repeal conspiracy ; against the collective words and deeds of which conspiracy the State prosecution has been directed. Dispute this, and legal government is brought to a speedy end. We may just add, that, from the most recent proceedings of the town council, the speech of the late Lord Mayor, and his proposed petition for an act of amnesty to the firebrands of the Corn Exchange, appear to have had some what more of trickery and somewhat less of gratuitous childish ness than we at first suspected. The simple-souled alderman appears to have hatched a plot for purloining an act of grace to the Repealers, that they might the more easily, as a return for the Royal mercy, carry on their seditious manoeuvres un molested.— Times. STATE OF TRADE. FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, JAN. 12.—There has been a very evident improvement in the demand for foreign wools during the past week, and a firmer tone has in consequence been given to prices. ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, JAN. 12.—Sales of combing wools are readily effected, and prices con tinue gradually to advance. Clothing wools are firm, but do not yield higher prices. WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, JAN. 12.—We have to report a gradual and steady improvement in the demand for all descriptions of combing wools, and, as the market continues to be very barely supplied, the advance demanded last week is now fully obtained. No movement in short wools. LEEDS.—There has been a fair quantity of goods sold at our Cloth Halls this week, considering the time of the year. The principal articles in demand have been plain and fancy Tweeds, and low cloths for export, but fine and middle cloths still continue in very little demand. Prices continue unaltered, al though wool is higher. There are, however, no very heavy stocks, and if there should be a very moderate demand in the spring, an advance in price must take place. A few houses are busy in the export trade, but in the warehouses generally there is little doing. BRADFORD MARKET, JAN. 11.—There is a dis position on the part of the merchants to lay in stocks of pieces, seeing that goods are far below the price of the raw material, and the manufacturers refuse to sell except at advanced prices ; knowing that the further increased cost in the production, by the late advances in yarns, will not enable them to meet the buyers. Scarcely as much business was done as last week. The recently advanced prices for wool have caused the spinners to act with great caution, for many have old contracts at prices very disproportionate to the raw material ; and what sales are now made are chiefly for the home and Delaine trade, the prices of last week being generally realised . There continues to be a full average business doing in all kinds of combing wools, and the rates of last week are fully maintained. Noils and Brokes are more inquired after; the stock being low, higher prices are acceded to. MANCHESTER, THURSDAY EVENING.—We have had rather less animation in our cloth market this week than of late, but this circumstance does not appear to affect the firmness in the market, as stocks are uni versally Tow. Most parties (sellers) seem anxious to wait the arrival of another Indian mail before they enter into fresh arrangements, which they might do at old prices. It is probable that the temporary and comparative stagnation of trade in China will continue a short time, so that it will require a few weeks to t es t t h e rea li ty o f t h e present fi rmness . The velvet trade is brisk, and likely to continue so. The silk trade is not so healthy as could be wished : some weavers are out of work, and a few limited as to the quantity produced. Twist is without any de cided change ; the change, however, if any, is favour able, and prices rather firmer. BARNSI:ET.—The linen trade continues steady although the improvement is not so great as it is in many other branches of trade, yet the prospects for the present year are encouraging.—Leeds Mercury. KEEN SITAVING.—It will be remembered that a market has commenced at Seaham-harbour for the con venience of the colliery districts, and to improve and extend the trade at that place, the tradesmen uzder taking to supply every article of as good quality and on the same terms as in the large towns in this district. On the last market day, a pittnan went into a barber's shop to get his week's crop removed from his chin, when, having been duly_paped, and all ready for the operation, he suddenly started up, and exclaimed, " Does thou shave' at Durham prices ?" " Yes," exclaimed the astonished shaver, " what for ?" " Why," said the pitman, " if thou had'nt thou should have washed the soap off again, my lad, for we'll pay nae main than Durham prices.—Newcastle Advertiser. DIFFICULTY OF DISTINGUISHING ONESELF IN LON.. DON.—In London, every man so submerged in the multitude, that he who can hold his head high enough out of the living mass to be known, must have something of remarkable buoyancy or peculiar villany about him. Even Parliament, except to a few of the leaders, is no distinction. The member for the shire is clipped of all his plumage at the moment of his entering that colossal poultry-yard, and must take his obscure pickings with other unnoticeable fowl.—Blackwood's Magazine. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY 11‘ ENING, JANUARy 13, 1844. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of Jan. 12.)

There has been rather a larger business done this week in the principal articles of consumption, but stocks have been sufficiently heavy to prevent any material advance in prices. The accounts to hand from Bombay, China, and America, have had no small effect on our business and the trade of the manufacturing districts, as it is evident, from the range of prices for goods in India, that no ship ments of much weight will be made should spinners insist on advanced fates, whilst the latest letters from the cotton-growing States of America are calculated to enhance the prices here of the raw material, as the esti mate of crop has been reduced, and shipments now arriv ing will leave a loss that may fairly be estimated at seven per cent. on the amount invested ; luckily, however, the planters have been the principal shippers, and the losses will, consequently, be of far less moment to our merchants, whose orders have been given at rates much below the currency of the principal cotton markets in the States. One rather important statement is reported in some correspondence, to the effect that the southern banks were again assisting the planters to withhold their crops from market, and that, whilst the stocks in the port were accumulating, prices were also advancing, under the influence of such assistance. Let us, however, hope, that the severity of past losses has not so soon been forgotten. Hete we have had a lively market, with large sales, chiefly to speculators, at prices a shade higher ; yesterday, especially, an enormous business was done, roughly estimated from 18,000 to 20,000 bales. Tho excitement in the share market has apparently blown over, and the transactions are not so numerous.— Liverpool Mercury. CHARACTER OF HANNIBAL.-If the characters of men be estimated according to the steadiness with which they have followed the true principle of action, we cannot assign a high place to Hannibal. But if patriotism were indeed the greatest of virtues, and a resolute devotion to the interests of his country were all the duty that a public man can be expected to fulfil, he would then deserve the most lavish praise. Nothing can be more unjust than the ridicule with which Juvenal has treated his motives, as if ha had been actuated merely by romantic desire of glory. On the contrary his whole conduct displays the loftiest genius, and the boldest spirit of enterprise, happily subdued, and directed by a cool judgment, to the fur therance of the honour and interests of his country ;' and his sacrifice of selfish pride and passion, when after the battle of Zama he urged the acceptance of peace, and lived to support the disgrace of Carthage with the patient hope of one day re pairing it, aflords a strong contrast to the cowardly despair with which some of the best of the Romans deprived their country of their services by suicide. Of the extent of his abilities, the history of his life is the best evidence : as a general, his conduct remains uncharged with a single error. His knowledge of human nature, and his ascendancy over men's minds, are shown by the uninterrupted authority which he exercised alike in his prosperity and adversity over an army composed of so many various and discordant materials, and which had no other bond than the personal character of their leader. As a statesman, he was at once manly, disinterested, and sensible ; a real reformer of abuses in his domestic policy, and in his measures, with respect to foreign enemies, keeping the just limit between weakness and blind obstinacy. He stands reproached, however, with covetousness by the Cartha ginians, and with cruelty by the Romans. The first charge is sustained by no facts that have been transmitted to us ; and it is a curious circumstance, that the very same vice was long imputed by party violence to the great Duke of Marlborough, and that the imputation has been lately proved by his biogra pher to have been utterly calumnious. Of cruelty, according to modern principles, he cannot be acquitted.—Arnold's Rome, Vol. 111. ACQUAINTANCESHIP.--There are some men with whom, on the instant, we seem to get acquainted. An hour's accidental association in a stage coach, a steam packet, or a hotel, does more towards banishing reserve and restraint then many months of daily communication with beings less congenial. They seem to suit us—we part from them with regret ; and long afterwards, when their names are forgotten, we remember a pleasant fellow and a happy hour. It is not then that friendship can be made ; but we may learn from this the advantage of un pretending good humour and frank benevolence. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, .lan. 10. The Lord Chancellor heard cause and lunatic petitions to-day, but no case of any interest came before his Lord ship previous to the rising of the Court. • . VICE-CHANCERY COURT, Jan. 12. Unopposed petitions and short causes occupied his Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England the whole morning. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Jan. 12. (Sittings in Banco.) CARPUE V. THE LONDON AND BRIGHTCN RAILWAY COMPANY. This was an action brought by Dr. Carpue against the Lon don and Brighton Railway Company, to recover compensation for the injuries suffered by him in consequence of the accident. which occnrred about two years ago, in the Copyhold Cutting, to one of the trains by which Dr. Carpue was passenger. The case was tried before LordDenman in the sittings after Michael mas term, 1842, and the jury had found for the plaintiff for 250/. damages. The Solicitor-General had afterwards obtained a rule nisi to set the verdict aside, and a new trial had or a nonsuit entered, on the ground ofmisdirection by the Learned Judge, and also on the ground that the action had not been commenced within the time limited by the Aet of Parliament, and also that the proper notice of venue as required by the Act had not been given. Lord DENMA N having read the notes of the evidence, and of the summing up, said that it would perhaps bo mere conve nient for the Court to hear the arguments on both sides as to construction of the limitation section of the Act of Parliament before proceeding to the other points. The ATTORNEY- GEN ERA 11. then, proceeded to show cause against the rule, contending that the 253 d section of the Brigh ton Railway Act was never intended to apply except with re ference to the Parliamentary powers of the Company to make and continue the railway, and not to that business, the business, namely, of carriers, which that Company carried on in common with any other persons who went upon the railway. If their Lordships would look at the declaration they would see that the action had been brought against them as carriers, and not as proprietors of the railway. It had been brought against them, not as a railroad company, but as persons entitled in common with all her Majesty's sub jeets, to carry on the business of carriers. The declaration stated that they were proprietors of a certain railway, and of certain carriages used thereon, for the purpose of conveying goods and chattels, and passengers, upon the said railway; and also upon certain other railways, to wit, upon the London and Greenwich railway, and upon the London and Croydon railway. Now, upon the London and Greenwich railway, and upon the London and Croydon Railway they were only carriers, and it would be odd if it should be held that they were under a dif ferent contract with their passengers with regard to that por tion of the journey which was performed over the London and Greenwich or the London and Croydon, and that which was performed over the London and Brighton Railway. The action had been brought against them as carriers, and as carriers only. They had contracted to convey the plaintiff upon other railways besides their own, and the contract was one entire contract, and the section of the Act of Parliament with regard to the limita tion of the time for bringing the action, and to the notice of venue did not apply. They were sued as carriers, and as car riers they were responsible for travelling at a rapid rate when the state of the railway was such as to render such a rate of tra velling dangerous. As carriers they were bound to know that the state of the road was not safe. If they were proprietors as well as carriers, they had the bettor means of knowing the state of the read. The 2534 section of the Act applied to them only as proprietors, and not as carriers. The action had been brought against them as carriers, and therefore the 253 d section of the Act did not apply. Mr. HAY ES and another followed on the same side. The SOLICITOR.- GENERAL in support of the rule contended that the action had been brought against the defendants as proprietors of the railway, and net as carriers. The evidence which had been given at the trial had been given to prove the faulty construction of the railway—now, if the action had been brought against them as carriers only, the evidence would not apply to the case. In the summing up the Learned Judge had stated that the plaintiff was not bound to prove the cause of the accident, inasmuch as the defendant's having the whole con trol of the railway, negligence was to be presumed against them in case of accident, and they were bound to show that the accident had not been occasioned by any negligence on their part. The case, had the trial proceeded, rested entirely upon the assumption that the defendants were the proprietors of the railway. If it had not proceeded upon that assumption, there would have been no case-to go to the jury. The statement in the declaration was that the defendants were the proprietors and owners of a certain railway ; now, that statement could not have been made against any other of her Majesty's subjects carry ing on the business of carriers. The averment was that the accident had occurred on the railway of which the defend ants were proprietors. It was as proprietors only that the action had been brought against them, anti as such they were entitled to nottee. Mr. Justice PATTESON—The section says that they shall be entitled to notice in case of any action brought against them for anything done or omitted t a be done, in pursuance of the Act. Now, as at present advised, Ido not see that taking people into carriages as passengers, driving them negligently, anti breaking their necks, can be called an omission. It is do ing something cal elessly, not omitting to do, and certainly it is not anything done in pursuance of the Act. A clause of this sort ought to be construed very strictly. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL submitted that the Wien had been brought against the Company for having omitted to keep the read in proper repair, that that was an omission within the meaning of the 253 d section of the Act, and that, therefore, they were entitled to the notice. Lie therefore submitted that the rule for a nonsuit must be made absolute. Mr. Swasist followed on the same side. _ The CounT thon called upon the Attorney-General to pro ceed with the other branch of the argument, but it was ulti mately arranged that the argument in that part of the case should be deferred until to-morrow, as the Selicitor-General was obliged to leave the Court. HARE V. BARSTOW. This was an action brought by Sir John Hare, against the Secretary to the Yorkshire Insurance Company, to recover the amount of insurance alleged to be due to him for the damage done by fire to his oil mills, situated in Bristol, which had been insured by the Society. The defendant had con tended that the insurance having been effected on the oil mill, the plaintiff could only recover 2761., the amount of damage dune to that portion of the premises used, for crushing linseed, which sum was paid into Court, and tLat be had no right to recover for damage done to any other portion of the premises. fhe case was tried before Lord Denman at the Guildhall in 1842, and the jury had found for the plaintiff for 2201. The Attorney-General had subsequently obtained a rule nisi for a nonsuit, on the ground that there was no evidence to go to the jury, or fur a new trial, on the ground that evidence had been admitted as to the value of the machinery, which was inad missible. Mr. Ears now showed cause against the rule, and contended that it was aquestion for the jury to decide whether the term" oil mills" was used for the purpose of designating the whole of the premises, or for the purpose of designating that portion linseed ; anti it would be seen from proposaltwhheiehwasused fo that the term oil -mills -mills hail been used to de signate the entirety of the premises, which were known in Bristol as Hare's ; neither c ou ld t h ere b e any d ou bt th a t Sir John Hare had intended to e ffect the insurance upon the entirety of the premises, and tha t he had imagined that he had r crush i ng so effected his insurance. In a ease of that sort could it be said the construction of the policy should be lea to the Judge alone, and that there was nothing to go to the jury ? He apprehended not, and there was no ground for making the rule for a nonsuit absolute. With re spect to the evidence as to the value of the machinery, he apprehended that, as the question was one entirely of value, the evidence was clearly admissib l e, and, as the contest was, whether the insurance was meant to cover the whole of the machinery, or only one portion of it, evidence as to value was admissible as evidence Of ident ification. He therefore sub mitted that this rule must be discharged. Mr. ROBINSON followed on the same side. Lord DENMAN said that the Court would hear the remainder of the arguments to-morrovv. ADMIRALTY COURT, Jan. 12. THE srEEP—coLLIsioN. This was a cross-action between the owners of the bark Thames, of Newcastle, and those of the Speed, a large timber vessel, belonging to New Brunswick, to recover the amount of damage which each vessel had sustained in a collision that had occurred in the River St. Lawrence, near Orleans Island, about 10 miles from Quebec, on the sth of October, 1842. The Thames was a vessel of 150 tons, laden with coals and glass, bound for Quebec ; the Speed had a cargo of timber, and was coming from the same place. Ott the part of the Thames, it was contended that the collision was occasioned by the Speed's helm being ported. instead of being starboardedi On the other hand,: the owners of the Speed alleged that the Thames had run into that vessel owing to her not having lulled to wind ward, as it was her duty to have done. The evidence was, as usual in these eases, totally at variance upon all essential points. The Queen's Advocate and Dr. }laggard were for the Thames, and Dr. Addams and Dr. Bayford for the Speed. The Trinity Masters, by whom the Court was assisted, were of opinion that the Thames was exonerated from blame, which rested solely with the Speed. Dr. LosniNcTorr pronounced for the damage sought to be recovered by the owners of the Thames, and dismissed them from the action brought against them by the owners of the Speed in both cases, with their costs. THE BROTIERS.—COLLISION. This was another case of consolidated cross actions, in which the owners of the bark Brilliant and the bark Brothers sued each other for the damage caused to their respective ves sels by a collision which occurred in the Channel on the 2d of October, 1843, the Brilliant being bound from London to Glasgow, in ballast, and the Brothers from London to the Sandwich Islands, with gunpowder and general merchandise. A similar conflict of evidence was exhibited in this case as in the last, except as to the wind, which (contrary to mot examples) both parties admitted to be about N. W. After hearing Dr. Addams and Dr. Robertson for the Brilliant, and the Queen's Advocate and Dr. H. Nichsll for the Brothers. The Trinity Masters were of opinion that the Brothers being on the starboard tack, it was her duty to keep the wind, which she did, and that it was the duty of the Brilliant to bear away, and that, by attempting to cross the bow of the other vessel the latter vessel had occasioned the damage. Dr. LUSHINGTON was of the same ..pinion, and dismissed the owners of the Brothers from the actions of those of the Brilliant, and pronounced for the damage claimed by the owners of the Brothers in both cases, with costs. WESTMINSTER S ESSIONS. The Epiphany Quarter Sessions for transacting county business was held yesterday, at the Sessions-house in the Broad Sanctuary, before a full bench of Magistrates. The first act was to elect a Chairman of the Sessions until the county clay, inclusive of th e E p i p han y Session s 1845 (standing order No. 4), when Mr. Ser g eant A d ams was unanimously chosen, on the m o t ion of Mr. Wales by , seconded by Captain Berger, aft er which the Learne d Sergeant took his seat upon the Bench, and briefly re turned The minutes of the last Quarter Sessions was the n thanks. read by the Clerk of the Peace. The Bench next proceeded to receive 12pecial Reports of the Visiting Justices of Westminster Bridewell and of the Committee for accounts and for general purposes, on the applications received from candidates for the matronship of the Bridewell, for which there were 41 candidates, amongst whom only 27 were considered eligible for the situation. After which, the general Re port of the Visiting Justices of the Westminster Bride well was received, when Mr. P. LAURIE entered his protest against the system adopted in many of the metropolitan prisons. lie con tended that many of the prisoners were discharged from those places in a state quite unfit to en g age in any labour. During the short period in which the Model Prison, at Pentonville; had been in operation, no less than three persons had been sent to Bethlern Hospital, in a state of confirmed lunacy. He did not so much find fault with the diet as the system of solitary c onfinement, which he was confident produced insanity. In one instance, namely, that of John Rees, who had be com e an idiot, it was found that he recovered his mental powers upon being allowed to hold intercourse with the other prisoners. He concluded by strongly condemning the system pursued at the Model Prison. After considerable discussion the Cleric of the Peace was directed to address a letter to the Right Hon. the Se cretary of State for the Home Department, acknowledg ing the receipt of the letter, recommending a peculiar dietary for the prisoners and to infarm him that the Ma gistrates, after full consideration, had been induced not to adopt the diet recommended by him, and to enclose to him the Report on which they had come to the conclusion. On the motion of Mr. Amyot, seconded by Mr. Walesby, the following resolution was carried by a majo rity of 11 to 7 :—" That the salary of the Rev. George Henry Hine, the Chaplain of Westminster Brider:ell, be increased from 3651. to 4001. a-year, to commence from 24th June, 1843 ; and, in consideration of his increased duties, the very satisfactory manner in which he has uni formly discharged them, his many valuable services, and his length of service, that he be allowed a gratuity of 1051." Several other motions connected with the business of the county were then adopted, after which the usual re ports of the Governor of the Westminster Bridewell, and the journals of the surgeon and chaplain of the same establishment, were laid before the Court for in spection, when the Sessions was ordered to stand ad journed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) GUILDHALL. Yesterday William A ynscomb, a gardener, lodging in Daubeny-place, Pentonville ; Frances, his wife, and Henry, his son, were re-examined before Aldermen Johnson and Gibbs, charged with receiving a large quantity of Chusan and other dresses, the property Of Messrs. Price and Partridge, of Cheapside, calico and woollen printers. The MAGISTRATES having consulted together, agreed to admit the husband to bail ; but as further material evidance was to be produced, which might implicate all the prisoners, the Aldermea could not discharge either of them now. The prisoners were remanded till Thursday. BOW-STREET. An interesting-looking young woman, named Eliza Austin, was brought before Mr. Jardine, charged with attempting to commit suicide by throwing herself from Waterloo-bridge. It appeared that on the morning of the 4th inst. the prisoner was observed to mount one of the recesses of the bridge, and precipitate herself into the water. An alarm was given, and one of the Thames police went to her rescue, and she was taken out of the water. She was taken to the floating- station-house, and there she said she had attempted to destroy herself in consequence of distress. She was conveyed to King's College Hospital, where she remained until she was brought to this office. Her sister stated that she believed the prisoner was out of her mind. About a fOrtnight ago she had at tempted to destroy herself by poison. She was in a good situation in the west end of the town, and was not driven to the commission of the net•with which she was charged by distress. The witness lived with her father, who was very badly off, and who had eleven children. They had no home to take the prisoner to. Mr. JARDINE, after questioning the prisoner, said she was evidently not in a tit state to be allowed to go at large, and he should send her to the authories of the Strand Union, who would take care of her. WORSHIP-STREET. Yesterday six dejected and miserable-looking men, named Joseph Corbel, William Smith, William flinde, James Booth, William Carrington, and John Hantswell, were charged before Mr. Bingham, by William Horsford, one of the officers of the Mendicity Society, with mendicancy. Hartford, while passing through Bunhill-row, at eleven o'clock, met the six prisoners, four of wham ( Hindu, Carring ton, Booth, and Ilantswell) were in a body in the middle of the. road, singing a loud and doleful song, made up for the oc casion, on the subject of their distresses, while Corbet and Smith were on either foot payment, following and begging of the passengers in the most importunate and obstinate manner. The prisoner Corbet, who had beers a soldier, but discharged for misconduct, was an old and incorrigible- offender, and he had taken him into custody only a short time ago under the same circumstances. Booth and Hantswell stated that they were machinists by trade, and natives of Stockport, where they had endeavoured to get employment in any branch of their business they could, but without success. They at last resolved to come to the metropolis, where they had been only six days ; but the same bad fortune attending them here, they had been induced by Corbet to join him and the others, in the hope of obtaining enough money for their shares to carry them back to their native place. They assured the magistrate, in a very earnest and apparently truthful manner, that they were not habitual beggars, that this was the first time they had ever asked for alms, and that they did nut know they were offending by so doing. Smith, Hinde, and Carrington said that they were mechanics, but out of employment, which of no description could they obtain anywhere. They all had wives and children, who were in a state of absolute starvation, and it was not until they had pawned and sold every article that would fetch a penny that they had adopted this course. They each told a tale of con summate misery and wretchedness, and implored the magic tate to do something for them. Mr. BINGHAM asked if they had applied to their parishes for relief They all, except Corbet, replied in the negative, and said they would sooner perish than expose themselves to the rebuffs and contempt of strange overseers to whom they would be obliged to apply. Air. BINGHAM said that from the appearance and manner of the poor men, he was much disposed to believe that they were in the state of extreme wretchedness and distress they repre sented themselves to be in ; but in exact proportion to their distress and want was their right and title to relief from the parishes to which they belonged and if, upon a proper appli cation to their overseers, relief was refused to thorn, they had only to apply to himself or Any other, the nearest magistrate, and that magistrate would compel the parish officers to perform their duty. As to Corbet, it had been proved that he was an old and practised beggar, and, as an example to others of his class, he should commit him to the House of Correction, with hard labour, for a month. Booth and Hantswell he should dis charge, that they might return to their native place imme diately, which he trusted they would do ; but Smith, Hinde, and Carrington he should remand for another examination, that inquiries might be made into the truth of their state ments, when, if they should be found to be correct, he would see what could be done for them. Directions were then given to the officers to make these in quiries, and report the result to the magistrate. LAMBE7I/-STREET . After the ordinary business of the court had terminated on Thursday evening, Nehemiah Shakspeare, late an engineer in the employment of Mr. R. Johnson, cigar manufacturer, at No. 35, Gloucester-street, Commercial-road -east, surrendered to his bail, and appeared before Mr. Norton for final examina tion on a charge of having wilfully and maliciously caused the explosion of a steam-boiler, by which the lives of upwards of seventy individuals were placed in jeopardy. Mr. Duncombe, the solicitor, attended on behalf of the prisoner. It will be recoßeeted that Mr. Johnston's suspicion as to the guilt of the accused rested upon the fact of his finding, on en tering the engine-room on the morning of the explosion, at eight o'clock, all the appearances to indicate that there was an abundant supply of water in the boiler, and the prisoner him self, in a conversation at that time, admitted that the pump worked so well that it more than sufficiently supplied the boiler without any other source. There were other circumstances which strengthened the suspicion, and those were, that imme diately after the explosion Mr. Johnston observed the prisoner smiling, even after he had said to him, " Well, Shakspeare, you have done a pretty thing ;" and believing he was so smiling, said to a friend who was with him, " See, the villain smiles," and though his master had then said he would give him into custody he left the yard under pretence of going for his jacket, and did not return before the Thursday morning, when he was given into custody. It will also be recollected, that on the last examination Mr. Fennell, an engineer, and Mr. Marshall, the maker of the boiler in question, swore positively that it was their dezided opinion that the explosion took place solely from want of water. Mr. Johnston, the complainant, was cress•examined at very considerable length by the prisoner's, solicitor. lie said that between three and four months ago he purchased the boiler in question from Mr. J. Marshall, of Colchester-street, White chapel, and paid him 45/. for it. He did not think at the time that it was new, and thought he got a great bargain. He did not know whether the boiler had been used before, or who used it, nor did he knew the person who had set it. It was set Joy a person who was recommended to hiin by the foreman of the engineer who fitted up the engine, and the fitting up took place under the prisoner's personal observa tion. There was a collapse of the upper part of the flue before the prisoner took charge of the boiler, but not to any extent, as it did not exceed the size of his hand. This was occa sioned, no doubt, by want of water, but it did not seriously injure the boiler. Believed the plate, or substance of the boiler, as well as that part of the flue that gays way, to be three-eighths of an inch in thickness, and it was warranted fo him to bear 501 b. weight of steam to the square inch. Had neither a steam nor water-gauge to the engine. Duyght, who was in the employment of Mr. Johnston, and used to drive the engine before the prisoner was engaged, admitted that the pumps which supplied the boiler with water had been frequently out of order, and that the prisoner and himself used to set them to right. He admitted that they bad done so two or three times within a month. _ Williams, another servant of Mr. Johnston, in his cross examination, said that on the morning in question the engine was stopped twice, to repair the strap of a roller in the saw room. On the first occasion it was set to work, but had not taken many strokes when he (witness) saw his strap giving way, and called out to the prisoner to stop it, which he did, and in ten minutes after the explosion took place. Mr. NORTON—Then, was the engine stopped when the ex plosion took place ? Witness—Yes, Sir, it was ; I'm sure of that. Mr. Johnston—And it is still more extraordinary, if this be true, and I have now heard it for the first time, that four of the flanges of the fly-wheel, which were of great strength, and which were quite out of the reach of the boiler, should have been broken to pieces. Mr. Marshall, in his cross-examination, said he had sold the boiler to Mr. Johnston four months ago, for 45/. It had been made by him about four years ago, as an experimental boiler, but had not been tried. Ile considered the boiler sold by him t,) Mr. Johnston a perfectly safe one with care, and attributed the occurrence solely to a want of water ; and added, it was self-evident it was so. This was the whole of the evidence in support of the charge. Mr. Duncombe called Mr. Cater, a boiler-maker of the South wark-bridge-road, who deposed that the boiler in question was such as should not have been put up or considered sate ; on the contrary, it was highly dangerous for such a purpose. The witness, in reply to Mr. Norton, adm►tted that the im mediate cause of the explosion was the want of water. Mr. Bruton, of the firm of Bruton and Sons, John-street, Blackfriars, engineers, said he had examined the boiler in question, and considered it unfit for the purpose for which it had been used. In his opinion it was a "doomed" boiler, end its destruction with a pressure of steam was inevitable some time or other. In fact, he should pronounce it highly dangerous. Mr. Manwaring, of York-street, York-road, corroborated a great part of Mr. Burton's evidence, and said, that the sub stance of the tube in tle: boiler was not more than a quarter of an inch thick. Mr. NORTON observed, that with regard to the criminal charge against the prisoner he would at once get rid of it, as ho did not think that any jury would find him guilty of it, and with respect to the negligence the witnesses called had re moved that charge also from his mind. In conclusion he could only say, that it afforded him pleasure to acquit the accused of the charge. THAMES-POLICE. Yesterday Captain Murray, master of the Coquette, was charged under the Merchant Seamen's Act with abandoning a black seaman, named Thomas Duncan, on the coast of Africa, about four and a half years since. The complainant, a powerful and intelligent negro, stated, that about Ave years since he was engaged under articles by the defendant to go on a trading voyage to the western coast of Africa. Whilst at anchor off the coast, Captain Murray being at the time on shore, the crew contrived to get at some spirits, and they all became intoxicated. Complainant partook of some of the spirits, but had no part in procuring them ; there were several Kroomen on board, but they were not intoxicated. This happened on a Saturday night, and when the captain came on board next day he ordered the men to work, but being Sunday they refused. Complainant being one of those who refused, the captain ordered him forward to the forecastle for the purpose of delivering hirdup to the natives, some of whom were on board. Not wishing to be put into the hands and placed at the disposal of a naked and barbarous people, he re fused to submit. A signal was then passed ashore, upon which a party of the natives armed with guns and cutlasses came on board, and complainant was given into their custody, and after some time he was taken 20 miles up the country, where he re mained seven months, and never saw the face of a white man during the time, except that once beforo being taken up the country he saw Captain Murray. On that occasion he remon strated on the cruelty of being left behind amongst a barbarous people, but the capta'n took no heed of his entreaties. Com plainant ultimately got back in another vessel to Liverpool, and the reason why this charge had not been made before was that he had not fallen in with the captain until lately. Captain Murray, in his defence, said that when he got on board on the Sunday he fiend everything in a state of the ut most confusion, and all the men swearing riotously. Be then learned that they had broached some spirit casks, and taken more than two gallons. The defendant then entered into a detailed narrative, from whirls he would have it appear that the crew were in a state of mutiny. When he wanted to search their chests to discover the spirits, the complainant and others swore that they would not suffer him. Things rose to such a height that he fired two guns, upon which the native king sent down some of his people, and complainant, who was most riot ous, and encouraged the others, was put ashore, whilst another of the ringleaders was put in irons. Evidence of the facts complained of was then given, and Mr. Be Lt,ANTINE called on the defendant to put in bail, him self in 801. and two sureties in 40/. each, to answer the charge at the Old Bailey. Mr. Pelham appeared on behalf of the Lascars on board the Thames, to whose alleged pitiable condition public attention has been directed, in consequence of inquests held upon two of the men, whose death was supposed to be the result of neglect. . _ 'Air. Pelham stated that the persons for whom he appeared were 73 in number, belonging to an old Indianian called the Thames, which, for the last two months, had been iu the port of London. The vessel belonged to Mr. Green, of Bristol, and the men had been hired, at Calcutta, by one of their own countrymen, who was answerable, at the hazard of his life or perpetual loss of liberty, for seeing that they were paid, as well as for protecting them against any ill-usage. He was in structed to say that they had been so badly treated during the voyage, that the original serang ran away at the Isle of France, after having lodged a complaint in one of the Courts there against the captain, named Baker, who was fined in a sum of 2,000 rupees, and this fine was attempted to be put up as a set off against the claims of these poor Lasears for wages due to them. When the serang ran away, the duty devolved on the tintlal, or mate, named Kadder Brix, who was anxious to look after and protect his countrymen. After the late inquest some humane persons called mu him (Mr. Pelham) to retain him on behalf of these poor Lascars, and he understood that their chief complaint arose out of the want of a sufficiency of proper food. They were in a starving condition in addition, to the in juries they had received, and by which some of them had been deprived of the use of their limbs. They were about now to be tent back to their own country in a ship called the Sophia, which was to sail the next day, but they were unwilling to leave without receiving their wages, which collectively amounted to a sum of 2631. 18s. Mr. BALLANTINE said he had nothing to do with the titles tionof wages. Air. Pelham said, that what the parties now complained of was, that they were subjected to the tyranny of the master, who was a cruel, uneducated man, denying them the absolute necessaries of life ; insomuch that they had even gone that very morning without any breakfast. Mr. BaLLANTINE directed Inspector Maddox, of the Thames police, to inquire into the matter, and to ascertain if there was any foundation for the complaints. Shortly after the departure of the inspector, Mr. Barker, broker to the 'f hame s , presented himself before the Magistrate, and stated he understood that a number of black men had been making complaints as to food and wages. The fact was, that they had received more pay than they were entitled to, as they had done no work since they came into the Downs, and it had cost 701. to bring the vessel up. They were the greatest ras cals imaginable—bad stolen everything they could lay their hands on in the vessel, and would steal the ship itself if it were portable. Inspector Maddox returned a little before five o'clock, having carefully investigated the whole case. He found that the men were allowed two whole sheep per week to last for three days, and to be cooked in their own fashion. For the other four (lays they were allowed fresh and salt fish. In addition to this they had four sacks of rice, weighing 1651 b., with a like amount of some other sort of pulse, with potatoes, greens, turnips, and other vegetables, and on the whole they appeared to be very well fed. Their great anxiety seemed to he to poses them selves of the money which they said was due to them, but which if they got there would be no likelihood of their leaving by the So UNION-HALL. Yesterday George Gardner was brought before Mr. Cot tiogham, charged with stealing a cash-box, containing 271., the property of Mr. Ohler, a baker, at Kennington. The prisoner having a near relation in the complainant's employ went to see him on the 11th of November, and during his visit contrived to obtain possession of the cash-box, con taining the before-mentioned sum of money. lie then started for Birmingham, where lie remained for some time, and then returned to London, when he was taken into custody.—The prisoner was committed. THE ALLEGED WILL FORGERIES AND TRANSFER FRAUDS. On Wednesday night Daniel Forrester, the officer, apprehended Mrs. Georgiana Dorey. the wife of a shop keeper, who carries on business in Oxford -street, upon a warrant granted by the Lord Mayor, on the charge of having been concerned in the fraud alleged to have been practised in the case of Anne Slack. The prisoner was conveyed to the Compter after an examination had taken place at the Mansion-house at a late hour. Yesterday the prisoner was brought up to be formally examined as to her personal identity, previously to the day being appointed fir the hearing of further evidence against Barber and Fletcher, when she will be placed at the bar with those individuals, and the whole of the transactions will be gone into in the most complete manner. Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Charles Freshlield at tended for the prosecution. There was no professional man in attendance for the prisoner, who appeared to be excessively dejected. Her husband stood next to the chair on which she was seated during the period of the examination, and evidently underwent a great deal of mental pain. The prisoner, who seemed to bo about forty years of age, has a remarkably intelligent counte nance. She listened in silence to the evidence. Mr. Cotton the tovernor, and Mr. Heath, the Deput y of the Bank of England were amongst the gentlemen who were present during the proceedings. Mr. Clarkson stated that he was unexpectedly called upon to appear before his Lordship in consequence of a fresh result of the inquiries which had been, and were being made', in every direction, with the view to bring all the parties who were engaged in the transactions he had already described as regarded Barber and Fletcher, to a condition of responsibility. In the course of the inquiries made by the officers, who were so well known for skill and vigilance, it was ascertained that a female who had resided in Bristol, and was supposed to be con cerned in the transactions alluded to in a very essen tial manner, was residing at No. 45, Oxford-street, with ' her husband, Mr. Dorey, who kept a linen-draper's shop, and Daniel Forrester went thither, provided with two witnesses, who, upon seeing the prisoner in the shop, identified her as the person who had hired the lodging at No. 7, Francis-street, Tottenham-court.road, for the Emma Slack who was represented in the alleged will of Anne Slack, as the executrix and sole legatee of that lady. The prisoner used some words of indignant denial and menace upon hearing the accusation, but the witnesses were the more confirmed in the opinion they formed as to her identity when they heard her speak, and saw her more closely. Forrester accordingly took her into custody, and, subsequently, additional matters came out, which gave still greater strength to the belief that she was not only one of those who had accom plished the fraud in the case of Aliss Slack, but raised a very strong suspicion that she had also lent a hand in the affair of the will of Eliza Burcbard, the last case which had been brought before his Lordship. The vigi lant officer, after having deposited his prisoner in .the Compter, went to Mr. Dorey's house, supposing that he might, in searching amongst the prisoner's property, find something calculated to throw additional light upon the subject of the frauds. Mr. Dorey, it was proper to observe, gave every possible facility to the officer, who found, in a box in the prisoner's room, a small seal, the production of which would be a most important feature in the investigation. The prisoner was the sister of a female who was married to a Mr. Sanders, who for merly resided at Bristol, but who had, together with his wife, withdrawn to some place to which they had not, as yet, been traced. There was ground for sup posing that the parties who had thus disappeared from the time that publicity was given to these proceedings, were implicated in no slight degree in the business to which so much public interest had been attracted. Daniel Forrester was then sworn—He said, in conse quence of information which I received, I applied for a warrant on Wednesday last against the prisoner, and accompanied Mr. Weare, a gentleman in Mr. Freshfield s office, to Oxford-street, in which street, Mr. Dorey, the prisoner's husband, resides. Mrs. Neville, and , her daughter, Miss Neville, who reside at No. 7, rancis street, T ottenham-court-road, were in a cab in the neighbourhood of the house, and by an arrangement which was made, Miss Neville went in and succeeded in seeing the lady of the house on the . pretence of purchasing some black silk. Miss Neville intimated to me that the prisoner was the person who took lodgings in their house for Miss Slack. I then told the prisoner that she was charged with being the person who took lod g i ngs f or • Emma Slack, or Miss Slack. Sho (lid not deny it at first, but she said, " At your peril say so." Mrs. Neville then came into the shop, and saw the prisone r . I di d not exactly hear what she said at first, b u t a ft erwards she said she was convinced the prison er was t h e person who took the lodgings. I said I was obliged to take her into custody. Afterwards, Mr. Dorey came in to the shop, but the matter was not explained to him fur some time. Ile evidently understood nothing about it and he said to us, " What can I d o f ur you." I b made no , answe i r, but the prisoner said, " Th e l a d y has been lookingat some silk, but she don't wan t i t. " I remained silent, and so did the prisoner, for some m i nutes, and Mr. ' Dorey kept looking at on e an d t h en at the other. The prisoner ,, then said, "'The lady say s I h a d ta k en some led gulp: I said to the priso ner , " I t h ought you would have explained it to Mr. Dorey," and she replied, " No I would rather you would explain to him . '" and I ;hen told him that Mrs. Dor e y was c h arged with having taken a lodging for Miss Slack in Francis•street Tottenham-court-rota After some fu r th er conversation we went up stairs, and Mr. Weare put several questions to the prisoner, and asked her whether she had any objection to write. Mrs. and Miss Neville were thus enabled to hear her speak a good deal, and they declared that they were convinced she was the person they had described her to be. I communicated to Mrs. Dorey that it was my duty to take her before the Lord Mayor. I said to Mrs. Dorey, " Where is the woollen cloak with the bar on it ?" The prisoner directly replied that it was in Mary's (the' ser yant girl's) room. Mr. Dorey then, instead of going into Mary's room, went into the prisoneed room, and fetched out a dark blue cloak, with a dark bar on it. Here the officer produced a dark cross-barred cloak.) I • went into Mary's room, but there was no'cloak of the kind there. Mr. Dorey—l had no idea about the cloak at all. I went into the room and brought it out—that's all. Daniel Forrester—The cloak in Mary's room was not at all like this. I produced this to Mrs. and Miss Neville, and 'they said it was the description of cloak which was worn by the lady who took the lodging for -Miss Slack. Mr. Clarkson—Was that all that passed upon that occasion? Daniel Forrester —lt was. Mr. Clarkson—Tell us now as distinctly what occurred after Wards. Daniel Forrester—After I had taken the prisoner to the Mansion-house, and disposed of her securely, I re turned to the house of Mr. Dorey, for the purpose of making a search. I accompanied Mr. Weare, and I found this seal in a bok, which lay open in the prisoner's room, and which box Mr. Dorey said was his. Ido not know whether Mr.Weare or 1 picked it up. I have had it in my possession ever since. Mr. Clarkson here stated that the seal which repre sented a small hand, with the fingers held upward, exactly fitted the impression made upon the wax with which the will of Eliza Burchard was sealed. The LORD MAYOR compared the impression with the seal, and proved that they precisely corresponded. The Loup MAYOR asked whether the prisoner had any legal adviser to conduct her ease ? The prisoner said in a very faint voice that she expected an attorney to at tend for her, but she apprehended he was in the country. The LORD MAYoR—I wish you to have every legal assistance you may consider necessary, and I shall, if you wish it, at once adjourn this examination, to give yon an opportunity of procuring the aid of professional' men. Mr. Clarkson said ho had no desire at all to proceed without giving the prisoner every possible means of de fending herself under circumstances of so serious a character. Mr. Dorey said he had employed a professional man, and was surprised that he was not in attendance. Mr. Clarkson—l think it is better, my Lord, as we have the two females here at whose house Eiama Slack, as she was called, lodged, to let the prisoner know all they have to say against her. The LORD MAYOR—Very well. Perhaps it is the better way. Does the prisoner or her husband wish to ask Forrester any questions? They both replied in the negative. Mr. Clarkson—l shall now call Miss Neville; Martha Ann Neville—l live with my mother, at No. 7, Francis-street, Tottenham-court-road. My lather is a tailor. In the month of March last year, a person came to lodge at our house, calling herself Emma Slack. Before she came a person came to take the lodging for her. Mr. Clarkson—Look at the accused. Do you believe her to be the person? Witness—To the best of my W het she is. I believe her to be the person. Mr. Clarkson—When did she call at your house? Witness—About twelve or one o'clock on Friday, the 10th of March last year, I think. Mr. Clarkson—Tell us exactly what she said. Witness—She said she wanted a lodging for s lady who was coming out of the country on law business. • She said the lady could not give any reference, as she was from the country, but she would pay a week in ad vance. She then went away, saying that she would let me know in two hours. I waited two hours for her, but she did nut come until I was gone out. She had upon her a dark blue and dark check cloak, and wure a black bonnet and a feather in it. From what I recollect, it was that kind of cloak (pointing to the cloak which Forrester produced). It was a woollen cloak—that • kind of cloak as to material and shape. Mr. Clarkson—You remember having been taken to the house of Mr. Dorey, in Oxford-street? Witness—l d°' Mr. Clarkson —Let us know what occurred there?- -- It was arranged that I should have an opportunity Of seeing the lady, and I went in and saw her accordingly' and the moment I saw her I thought she was the same lady that had taken the lodgings for Miss Slack. I said so, and the prisoner said " at your peril." Mr. Clarkson—Did your mother then come in and see the prisoner ? Witness—She did. Mr. Weare, the officer, my mother, the prisoner, Mr. Dorey, anti myself, then went up stairs, and I heard the prisoner speak • several times in answer to Mr. Weare, and I was rather strengthened than weakened in my belief, upon hearing • her speak, that she was the person who took the lodgings• Mr. Clarkson—Did the same person who took the lodgings for Miss Slack afterwards call to see Miss Slack ? Witness—She did. She came to see her two or three times a week. Sometimes she used to come in e shawl. She used to come at seven or eight o'clock in the evening. The cloak she was in the habit of wearing was very like that produced by the officer. • Mr. Clarkson—How long did the lodger stay with you? Witness—Three weeks or a month and an odd day. Mr. Clarkson —By what name did she go ? Witness . She went by the name of Miss Slack. Mr. Clarkson—For whom did the lady who took the lodging inquire when she called ? Witness—For Mis s Slack, and she used to walk in. Mr. Clarkson—Who else visited Miss Sleek ? ness—A dark gentleman used to call upon her. She said that he was her lawyer. Mr. Clarkson—How often had he to call upon her ? Witness—He called once or twice a week. Mr. Clarkson—Do you think you would know hint ? Witness—l do not know whether I should know hi° or not. Mr. Clarkson—Did the lady who took the lodging remain long with Miss Slack on her visits ? Witness -- She remained but a very little time when, she called, and they used both to go out together, und.stity out an hou r or two. Miss Slack always came back.alene. • Mr. Clarkson—Du you recollect ever having seen Mr. Sanders there ? Witness—l do not. The person who called on her was a dark gentleman. I never hegira his name. Mr. Clarkson—You were not at home when the lod ging was taken? Witness—l was not ;my mother was' Mr. Clarkson then called the mother of the last witness. Martha Neville said—On the day the last witness mew tions, at about four o'clock, when my daughter wa s out , a lady called and said she had been inquiring about us , and she was perfectly satisfied, and should take the room. To the best of my belief the prisoner is the person. Sh e then took a back p ar l our an d a room on the second tlo°', back for Miss Slack, who, she said, had come to town ou law business. She said the lady might stay a week two, or two or three months, according to the law bull; w ould bring she might h ave to transact. She sa i d she t bring Miss Sl ac k i n the evening, and that she would 0° give a refer ence as t h e lady was from the country, b i ' d ,l ll she wo u ld pay 10s. a week. I had not presence s: mind enough to ask where she lived. A very few 1111 ; nutes pas s ed i n c o nversat i o n , an d t h e prisoner well. away. She returned about eight or nine o'clock in cab with the person she said was Miss Slack who had box with her. They went into the back parlour, and O prison er soon a f ter l e f t h er.

Witness—l recollect being sent for t o go to a lic". 11 h 5 0 0 in Oxford- s t ree t. I saw th e p r i soner t h ere. To: 1; 0 best of my belief the prisoner is the person who WIC t h e lodging from Miss Slack. When fi rs t I saw h e r shop I did not recognise her, but when I went up sttl i f i j i, and heard her speak, and obs erve d h er , I said, to 4, 0 best of my knowledge, she wa s t h e p e rson wh o took the lodging. She said the lady w h o says I too k t h e locig l will say it "at her peril.' I sa id l am t h e pers on Lb° said so.
