LAW INTELLIGENCE. S 1-1;?,R IF FS' COURT, Aug. 21. (Before 11r. Under-Sheriff BURCHKLL.) ENGLISH V. TODD. T'ue defendant is a baiter;; Bury-street, Bloomsbury, and the ae'in wj.. brou4ht to recover the sum of 10/. on a bill of ex ita:;ge. The dtfen,lant p eaded non-acceptance. To sup port the plaint ff a witness was called, who swore that he was present when defendant signed the bill, and said that he wonl i pay it when he received his dividends. In his cross-ex omittatt.n he admitted that he hail quarrelled with defendant, hut had not instigated the present action. The bill bore date December 1, bat it was signed sometime before that. For the defendant it was contended that the witness was not deserving of creili , that the defendant was actually a bankrupt just pre to the date of the bill. _ _ The UN n it-SHERIFF said if the evidence was false, there was very deldlfrrare perjury, The jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff. PETERS V. BRODRICK. This vvls an action to recover the sum of 2/. ss. for work done. The defendant is a builder in Bethnal .green. The de r: rice w is, that the defendant contracted with a third party, who employed the plaintiff. The amount, however, had not been pud to any one, and the person referred to had gone away, and could not be found.—Verdict for the plaintiff. CROW V. LONGLANP. The plaintiff in this action is a surveyor, and the defendant is a hosier at Mawr'. The claim was for 171. 10s., for super intending the erection of some houses. It appeared that the plaintiff h.td made out a specification, for which he was paid. The defendant said he thought that he could manage without a surveyor, but if plaintiff would look in occasionally he would compensate him. The plaintiff attended assiduously, but no arrangement, however, being come to, plaintiff, had claimed a per centage of one-and-a-quarter per cent. on the outlay (44001.), which was only one-half the usual charge. " Fur the detendantl it. was proved that the plaintiff said that he would not make any charge. but take whatever defend ant thought a fair remuneration, and that he had afterwards said he would take 5/. (which sum was now paid into Court). A letter was also put in, in which he said he had given his opinion without tt tee or reward." Mr. T,romas. in reply, urged that the conversation and letter referred to a minor transaction, and it was absurd to suppse that a man would go day by day, for six months, on such an agreement, and the payment of 5/. into Court proved that the defendant knew he was liable. Plaintiff admitted a set- , ,ff of I/. 15s. The jury returned a verdict for the defendant. CO II T IF BANKRUPTCY, Aug. 21. (Before Mr. Cmunivioner F msr.ANctuis.) IN RE JAMES COPELAND. The bankrupt was this thy brought up on application for his interim order. It will he remembered that at a former hearing it appeared that the seneduled debts amounted to 33,000/., of which the bankrurr stated the greater part to be renewals of debt. since nis toriner bankruptcy. On the last hearing the cer tificate could not be produced, as it was alleged to be detained in the hands of a solicitor, who claimed to have a lien upon it. Mr. Stru aneos, who appeared for the bankrupt, stated that .Ur. Dobson, who was represented in the former schedule as a creditor fur 21,000 L, being the amount in which Colonel Cdpelaild was security to that gentleman for Lord Hunting tower, c'rusented to release the bankrupt from the whole amount exclit 1,80')!. Tire schedule, amended accordingly, was then put in. The eei titivate of the last bankruptcy was not yet forthcom ing. and a goo I deal of discussion took place as to the neces sity for its production before the interim order could be granted. STII ita EON contended that parole' evidence of the bank ruptcy and the grant of the certificate was sufficient. The fa:: s, indeed, were to be ascertained from the records of the court. After an argument of no interest, the Learned Cosons- SIONEtt xranted the interim order, and gave the bankrupt his ]rot cum'. He also adimrned the case to a 4 •dLstant day," which he did mit name, intimating that the oppoing parties might, if they pleased, make an application in the meantime. IN RS BATT AND BATT. Al F P"--- f~rrg n in_:, In this case, in which we believe the original schedule eon tained debts amounting to more than 100,0001., a dividend of 16s. in Vie ponnii on the private debts separate from those of the trade was declared.

There were n other material facts adduced in evidence against the prisoner Parker ; and it appeared that when Aung,rier was under examination at the police-office, he declared thatlhe alone was guilty,:and that he merely sent Parker, as a messenger, to obtain the money for the cheque. Mr. PAYNE addressed the jury and contended that the facts proved against the prisoner Parker were by no means sufficient to warrant them in coming to the conclusion that at the time the prisoner uttered the cheque in question he had a clear and perfect know ledge, for that was what was imputed to► him by the present indictment, that the document was a forgery. Several witnesses were called, who gave the prisoner Parker a very excellent character for honesty and good conduct. The jury, without troubling the Learned Judge to sum up, at once returned a verdict of Guilty. There were two other indictments for forgery against the prisoner Aungirr, to both of which he pleaded guilty. Judgment was respited. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Wednesday a clerk from the George Inn booking-office, in Aldermanbtiry, attended before Aldermen Johnson and Sir C. Marshall, i answer the, clmplaint of Mr. Lart, of the firm of Lart and Son, of Wood-street, wholesale hosiers, for having neglected to deliver a parcel according to the direction thereof within 24 hours after its arrival at the inn. Mr. Lart stated that repeated attempts has been mad , . by the porters from this inn to double the customary charge fur porter age. At this time of year many parcels were sent into the country with samples, which were returned, and he expected the parcels to be so returned from the same inn as he delivered them to, and from which the waggon or van actually started; but to enhance the porterage, the packages coming from Kent were left in the Borough, though the van came on to the City, and to defy complaint upon this head the charge was not distinctly made, but mixed up with the carriage. On Saturday last a porter from the defendant's inn brought in a parcel, but continuing to keep possession of it, and presenting only the ticket with "carriage, Is. Bd." on it, he asked if that sum would be paid. He said, "If you pay my demand, you shall have the parcel; if you_ will not pay, you shall not have it." Mr. Lart replied he should net answer any question ; the porter must deliver the parcel, - and if the charge was a proper one, it would be paid, and if it were not paid, he must take the usual course to recover payment. The porter, with some insolence of manner, refused to leave it, and it had not been delivered yet, and the goods might be spoiling for all the defendant knew. To expose the system he would show the bill of a parcel brought from the same place, Canterbury, and delivered half an hour after by the railway company. This was charged only Is. The porter stepped forward to answer the charge. He said Mr. Lart had cheated him out of money repeatedly before, and he was in the habit of cheating the porters. He was expected by his employer to take back either the parcel or the imoney, and he was doubtful of Mr. Lart paying the money, and there fore refused to leave the parcel. Mr. Lart said it was quite true that he resisted all attempts of this kind to impose on him. Sir a MARSHALL said the public were much obliged to him for doing so, and he trusted be would persist in that course. • Mr. Alderman JOHNSON said the porter had used in his presence unjustifiable language respeeting the complainant, who was well known to be a gentleman of high character. • The porter repelled, that he had often cheated him. Mr. Alderman. JOHNSON said it was most improper to talk of being cheated. If he was entitled to what he demanded, it was very easy to recover it, by applying to a magistrate for a summons. He need lose nothing by Mr. Lart. The Alder man asked if he had any other reason to give for.not delivering the parcel within the , proper number of hours ? It was his duty to deliver the parcel, and seek to recover his charges after wards. The bookkeeper said, he had witnesses to prove that Mr. Lart refused to pay the charges. Sir C. MARSHALL said that could not avail him. If he understood Mr. Lart, he was willing to pay Is. 4d., which would include porterage from the nearest inn, though he re ceived parcels direct from the railway for ls. Mr. Lart said it was precisely so. The Magistrates having consulted, fined the defendant 20s. 'and costs. BOW-STREET. Wednesday a middle-aged man named Howard Augustine Styles, said to be.a commission-agent, was charged with for , ' - ing acceptances to two bills of exchange—the one for 3ttl. 13s. 6d., and the other for 341. 10s; The former bLi had been given by the prisoner to a Mr. James Cook, a tailor, in Charles-street, Westminster, who. from the signature, believed it wa.4 endorsed by Mr. G. Withers, the confectioner, of George-street. Portman-square: It afterwards transpired that the acceptance was a forgery. The other bi'l was also represented as bearing the endorse ment of Mr. Withers, and had been ca-hed under that im pression by Mr. Tomlins, a broker, living in Upper Georffe• street, Bryanstone-square, who stated that he received The personal assurance of a man named Diamond, whom he had known for twenty-five years, that the signature was a genuine one. A letter, which the prisoner had attempted to destroy while in custody. furnished some evidence of his share in the transaction, as he therein promised to take up the bill an jig becoming due. The letter wai addressed to Tomlins. Mr. G. Withers was called to prove the forgery of his name. He stated that he never gave a bill or accepted one in his life. He believed that the acceptances of Messrs. Gunter and Co., had been forged in a similar manner. _ _ The prisoner said that Mr. Tomlins had agreed to take no notice of the matter, on the promise of the prisoner to make up the an.ount by a specified time, in virtue of which arramie merit he (u., prisoner) had sent him It. 155., as the first instalment. Mr. Tomlins admitted that the sum named had been left at his house, and was received by a clerk in his service, but he did not know to what the payment related. The inquiry relative to the case of Mr. Tomlins was com menced by the constable on discovering the letter in the pri soner's possession. As more time was required to complete the present and other charges about to be instituted, Mr. TwYiottD remanded the prisoner for a week. 11AR/ BOIIIGH-STREET. Two ladies entered the Court and asked Mr. Maltby, the sitting magistrate, for 'advice in the folloWing affair : ,The eldest of the two ladies said her companion was the daughter of a •tradesman, .a fureigwer, in Beak-street, giplden square. Her sister,. a child about fourteen years of awe, had been taken away from > her home by a gentleman who, had been on intimate terms with• the family. ,The father had discovered that the girl was a consenting party, and that .she bad beep taken .to Liverpool, where she now was. The person who had_taken her from : home ,had just erol?arked f,r America, leaving the girl behind, and though the girl had been applied to by friends to return•home, she had refu•ed to .do so. The father now wished to know whether he could not obtain some legal authority to get his erring child back again to her home. . _ _ _ ..-_. . , Mr.. MALTBY said , as the girl was at Liverpool, he had no means of renetering the required assistance. The lady said the father wighed to know whether he had not legal authority to, compel his daughter, who was of such tender age, to return to his protection. In case she persisted in her refusal to return home, would he be justified in using force ? Mr. NIALTBY said, the best course for the father to take would be to proceed at once to Liverpool, and if he could not persuade daughter to return with him, to apply to the police authorities there, who would no doubt render him all the assistance in their power. The applicants thanked the magistrate, and retired. • MARYLI-:B(11 V E. ' - Wednesday Martha Carter, apparently not more than 2i) years of age, was brought up in custociy, and placed at the bar, before the sitting magistrate, Mr. Rawlinson, to answer the following charges, preferred against her by her master, Mr. N. B. Edmonstone, of 31, Sussex-gardensf Hyde-park. Mr. Eldon attended for the prosecution. • Mr. Edmonstone stated, that the prisoner was cook in his establishment for upwards of two years. and that she was in the habit of paying his tradesmen's weekly bills. On the 7th of May last, he gave her - 131. 9s. 3d., in order that she might settle various accounts, and, on Wednesday last, he ascertained that several persons, . whom he imagined had, been paid, had not received their money.. He called the ,prisoner up into his drawing. room, and on telling her that she had not paid the sums as directed by him, she acknowledged the offence. Mr. Thomas Green, butcher, 3, Lit , le Su.sex-place, Hyde park-gardens ; Mr. Benning, butterniati, 82,' Great Portland street ; Mr. HembreY, 'milkman, 8, Davenport-mews, Pad dington; and Thomas Sadler, from the firm of De Castro and Co., Piccadilly, appeared to give evidence, and it was-shown that in many cases the prisoner had signed the names of some of the said tradespeople 'to their books, and had thus for some time deceived her master, who imagined that the weekly bills were,regularly settled. Sergeant Walker. 5 D, said, that be took the prisoner. into custody, and on searching her boxes found therein two sheets belonging to her master. Oa the way to the station-house, the prisoner said she could not think wnit she, had done with the money which her master had given her, and asked witness if he thought she should be transported. The prisoner, who had nothing to say in her defence, was, fully committed for trial. Prosecutor said that he had been robbed by the prisoner to a much greater amount than he had already stated. CLERKE:VWELL. John Roberts and James lif‘ earthy'were charged with cut ting and wounding Mr. Edmund C. Ward, a gentleman resid ing in Wilton-street, and police-constable 160 E; also with a violent assault upon Bridger. beadle of St. Giles's, and with" assaulting police-constable 49 - E,' and threatening to murder him. •.•-• . The prisoners are remarkably powerful men ; they have been repeatedly convicted at this court, and were, when old St. • Giles and its " rookery" were in existence, the terror of that neighbourhood. It appeared from the evidence, that at three o'clock on the, previous evening these two fellows were observed standing at the corner of • Bedtord-place, Russell-square, pushing everybody who attempted to pass along the pavement there into the street. - Bridger, the beadle; having seen them treat a gentleman in this way, went up, but before he had time to say a Word . ;' M'Carthy knocked his hat off, Roberts then seized him by, the collar, and M•Carthy by the skirts, and they dragged him about, knocked him down, and kicked him. Mr. Ward, who chanced to be passing, seeing M'Carthy aim a blow at the bea dle, rushed between them, whereupon Roberts, letting go his hold of Bridger, fell upon Mr. Ward with great fury • he knocked bids down and beat him so violently about the' head, that he bled profusely from the mouth and nose, and in, court his mouth was so much swollen from the injuries received as to render ,his articulation indistinct. The prisoners, seeing assistance coming, ran amwaayofol.h.iyut seized stopped by Police-constable 160 E, who them. This officer appear e d i n court with his head and face plastered, and he compl tined of great pain. He de posed that as soon as he arrested them they knocked him down on the pavement, and kicked him violently on the head and body. His head was laid open and Roberts kicked the con._ stable on the face with his strongly nailed shoes, and lace rated his nose in a shocking 'way. They kicked him so that he was unable to sand, but he continued to struggle with them until police-constable 49 E and other constables arrived. They kicked the latter officer violently, and swore they would rip his bowels out. The police were at length obliged to strap tnern on stretchers, and so convey them to the station-house. Oa their way thither they said all that could be done to them was to be fined ; that they would soon find the money, and then they would serve out the b— beadle. The prisoners put their hands in their pockets, and treated the whole affair with jocular indifference. They were - fully cotnmitted for trial. • STAGE COMM OVERTURINED.-011 TileSatiV 11;g'lt an accident, occurred in New Cov en t r y-street, Leicester square, which had nearly been attended wall serious conse quences to two ladies and a gentleman.

The Court was densely crowded during the trial, The galleries were reserved for ladies, who assembled in larg e num bers. Damages were laid at 5,0001 . The defend ant had lodged 5001. in Court. Mr. Henn, Q. C., stated the case. The plaintiff, said he, is a lady, the daughter of Dr. Little, a gentleman of great respectability and extensive practice, and I think I may say that there- is no one in his profession standing irs higher repute than Dr. Little, where he is well known, where he resides, in Sligo. Mr. George Newenham, the defendant, is a gentleman who resides in the neighbourhood of this city. It so happens that. Dr. Little has a daughter married to Mr. Benjamin Beamish, who also resides in this city, and I shall proceed a , once to detail to you the facts which have given rise to this action. In the month of September, 1t544, it so happened that Miss Little was on a visit with her aunt, Mrs. Westropp, who resided in the immediate neighbour hood of defendant. Previous to this, Mr. Newenham and Mr. Benjamin Beamish were on terms of friendship, and Mr. Hewson, an unc'e of Mr. Beamish, having come to town, Mr. Beamish invited Mr. Newenham to his house to intro duce him to Mr. Hewson. Upon that occasion Mrs. Wes tropp and plaintiff were there, and then for the first time Mr. Newenham met her. She is a lady of considerable attracticns and engaging manners. Her age is twenty-six or twenty seven. Mr. Newenham is a widower, aged about forty-five or fifty. Mr. Bennett—He is fifty-three. Mr. Henn—Gentlemen, lam told that he is fifty-three. I was not aware he was so much. However, there is not much disparity between them ; and I do believe—indeed we all know—that many happy unions have been formed between versons whose ages were much more unequal. Upon the occa sion to which I have drawn your attention he appeared ab-tracted by this lady, and after this he became a daily visitor at Mrs. Westropp's, and during his visits he paid constant, marked, and unremitting attention to her, and at length, on the 24th of February, he had an interview with her at the house of Mrs. Westropp, when he declared his feelings and proffered his lave, and asked for a return. However, there was no definite answer given upon that occasion, but on the Sunday following they again met at Mr. Hewson's, where this young lady, Mrs. West ropp, and Mrs. Beamish went to pay a visit. On that occa sion he and she had a long walk through the grounds, and while walking home he asked her to marry him, and having requested a promise, begged her to permit him to speak to Mr. Benjamin Beamish on the subject. She consented, and on that occasion he presented her with a ring, and on the following day called on Mr. Beamish. lie then acquainted Mrs. Beamish with what had occurred, and introduced the plaintiff to his own niece as her aunt. On the 27th he called on Mr. Benjamin Beamish, and he on that occasion makes a formal proposal of marriage. Mr. Beamish hiving expressed his pleasure—having known Mr. Newenham for a long time, and having a regard for h.m, and thinking that in all respects it was a suitable match, observed that business should not be lost sight of, and to avoid any mistake, he thought it right to say, that although Miss Little was entitled to a fortune on her mother's death, that now they should act in this matter as if she h.d not a penny. Defendant replied there was nothing like candour—that that was a matter which gave him no consideration—it made no alteration or diffe rence whatever in his feelings or intentions, as he considered he hail quite enough for both himself and her—he had a good I.roperty, near 600/. a year, with a sum of 2001. a year which would fall in on his old 'aunt's death, which would give him 890/. a year clear, besides . his place, which was a nice valuable place near this city, and worth 300/..0r 4001. a year, and that place was subject only to a few pounds a year rent. Mr. B , amish said that as Miss Little had not at present any fortune, he would leave all matters - of settlement to his own feelings, as he felt satified that Mr. Newenham would provide liberally for her. Mr. Newenham replied that she would be safe in his hands, and theiefoce _he might leave all to him, and he would act -ix such a manner-as Mr. Beamish's family would have no reason to-ssomplthe of, It was then agreed that Mr. Beamish should write to Dr: Little, who was in Sligo, and that Mr. Nei - venhaan hirnaelf ihould also write to Dr. Little, and ask his , consent to the marriage of his daughter. 'Mr. Newenham then re'ired and wrote the letter, and again' returned and showed what he had written to Mr. Beamish.. I will now call your attention to that letter. It is dated— • • • . 4 . - Summer.hill, Jan. 27, 1845. sIS My dear Sirlf I had the plea , :ure• of being personally known to you; 4 would feel relieved frOm ,errie embarrass ment in addressing you, particularly_on a subject in which my feelings are so deeply engaged, and- which would perhaps lead me into explanations such- " as mutual friends may expect. fhe irraple way to relieve m.%self would he to come to the point at once, triiseingdhat the introduction - Of my name has already reached you through some members of ycur family.

I found my mind drawn towards her by 'those feelings, the effect of which h is, encouraged me to offer her my heart and hand ; and without affectation I can say, I never felt more happy than in iridin" that I have not misplaced my affections. and I have re ceived her permission to address you on the subject. • As to my position .in society, and my means of supporting her respec tably, I refer you to your son-in-law. Mr. Beaissish. As to any proviston you can make for . her, I have hitherto made no inquiry, but in addressing you as a man of the world, you will admit that it is natural that I should. obtain some information— nat thst any infor.nation you can afford me can effect any change in my feelings or intentions, which, believe me, shall ever and always tend to anything . and everything that can make your daughter happy; being satisfied that in making her so will constitute my own. ,Anxious.y hoping for your kind assent, uelieve met my dear sir,-yours very sincerely., "GEORGE NEWENH AM. ' "I'o Dr. Little, &c., Sligo:" - That letter arrived in Sligo in due course, and Dr. Little, on the 30th of Janu try, wrote his reply " Calilwell-huildings, Sligo, Jan. 30, 1845. " My Dear Sir— I had the honour, and, I will add, the gra tification, of receiving your communication to me yesterday. At any time a proposal for a matrimonial connexion with a family must be received as. a high compliment proffered ; but coming, an yours has done, with the introduction of my son-in-law, which speaks so- highly of your character and station, I must confess it brings with it-most heartfelt appro bation. The meas-rre of choosing a partner for He, a par. ticipator in our weal or woe, is a serious one indeed. A pleasing- anticipation, however, may be raised on the pre vious Assoc ation, character, and conduct of the object of our choice.- The mind which has never been tainted by a single domestic cloud—which has never been ruffled by domestic conflict, but has had all its sentiments nurtured and deve loped under the warm sun of social family concord, pre sents themost certain 'prospect of happinesi in married life. As such I can confidently entrust my dear Henrietta to your care, under the fullest conviction that the child who has never in a single act of her life called forth a tear from the eye of a parent, save that of gratitude to the Power which bestowed -her, shall never fail to discharge the duties and oh& gations of au affectionate. wife when called on for their pur fermance. Your-cangtour and disinterestedness, as exhibited in your letter, call upon me for a corresponding expression as to the worldly cirenmstanc .8 of my family. For the last thirty years of my life 4•have enjoyed a large professional income ; but'ine.eitpenses in brinsing up my three sons respectably to professions, as well as my -desire that all my-family should maintaM. a respectable appearance and association in life, have atmo-t always occasioned an expenditure nearly equal to my income. Mrs. Little was left by her father's (and subse eriently by her mother's) will a share of their property, 500/. of this being left. by Mrs. Swayne as a legacy to my eldest daughter on the.. death of her mother. Three of my daugh ters being married and portioned by other means, Mrs.. Little leaves by will (or by a legal irrevocable deed) the balance, -whatever that may be, to her remaining daughters (Henrietta, one ;of them) in equal shares, while I undertake the provision for. my sons from such resources as may be in my power. Under those circumstances, 1 leave it to your own feelings altogether to make- such arrangements as you and Henjirnin Bearntsh (who is the agent to the family property, an 1 who will explain all to you), may agree upon, under the .conviction that you will feel for the respectability, comfort, and station of your wife, as I should for those of my daughter. , • " Wishing soon to have the pleasure of a per .oval acquaint -ance;•believe me-to remain, dear Sir; yours most faithfully, • - "THOMAS LITTLE. . " To GeOrge Newenham, Esq., Summer-hill, Cork." That letter was received by the defendant on the Ist' February, 1845, and ; gentlemen of the jury, on the receipt of that letter • he expressed the happiness he felt at having been thus accepted - a-t• the suitor of 'Miss Little. He expressed that to all his friends—he expressed it to her Mende, and received their con gratulations, and he made use of all the expressions of an ardent lover after having been accepted and being about to he connected with the object of his most ardent wishes. It will, • in fact, be proved that he called on Mrs. Westropp, Mrs. Johnson, and Mrs. Hewson, and expressed his delight at havirne Otainert the dearest object of his heart. He told Mr. Bearnieh he would call on him on the Monday following. The letter was received on the Saturday previous, and the meeting on the Monday was to arrange matters with respect to the settlement, Sec. Gentlemen, it may he well supposed that all the members of the family were perfectly convinced that on Monday the final arrangements would be entered two, but I. wily tell you of one or two occurrences which took place in the interim. When Mr. Beamish had no doubt of Newenham having been received by the father, he was re ceived by the family as the accepted suitor of this young lady, and he was in public treated and acknowledged as her affianced hu -band. .On the night of the day he received the letter he went to a ball given by some officers, and he waited in the outer room until this lady came, and introduced her into the ball roam. When she came he was congratulated by his friends, and he exhibited this young lady as his intended. On the Ist he received the letter of acceptance from Dr. Little, and on that day, or the preceding one, he applied to her to accept a ring from him, which he had lately spoken to her about, and in which some of her own hair was inserted. That ring he presented to her, with the initials " G. N.," George Newen ham, and " H. E. N.," for Henrietta Emma Newenham, not " IL.E. L.," Henrietta Emma Little. Now, gentlemen of the jury, you will be surprised, as all the members of the family certainly and• properly were, when I tell you what, after all took place. Gentlemen of the jury, on the Sunday, having fixed Monday for the conference respecting the settlement, it was alleged that he had investigated his affairs, for, on the Menday,..instead of Mr. Newel:lllam attending - according to his app Aoinit.. Newenhamment,hi couldssolicit not orwa prudentlyite dI marry, as as his ish property alleging that was not as ample as he thought. Now, gentlemen, I will tell yop what intervenes. Alter the alleged Inquiry into the state of his PrOperty, he treated this young lady in the same affec tionate manner as he heretofore had done, and asked her could she content he self to live in a quiet and humble manner ? To' which she readily -consented, and he left her on that Sunday, with that knowledge then acquired, leaving her u w t a t - e ui r l i v r ln .r f t u h r t in d a h r i s k — co l; a p v a l e n t g , h h a e v r i ng u nd su e c r e e e t he d edin delusion en ga g t i nhgat her love, and having at the-very time made up his mind as to his subsequent acts. On the Monday, Mr. Noblett, his solicitor, attended Nlr. Beamish, and apprised him that under circum stances, - Mr. Newenham was not able to perform his contract — indeed that his funds and property would not permit. As he represented to Mr. Beamish he. had a property of 6001. a yesr, which probably would be 8001., and on occasion of the in tervieorbetween Mr. Noblett -and Mr. Beamish, Mr. Noblett gave Mr: oisamish a statement of what Mr. Newenham's pro pertywa's, drawn up by Mr. Newenham himself, and in his handwriting, he suhtequently had an interview with Mr. Beamish, when Mr. Beamish suggests to him what was the proper course for any man so situated to adopt, and suggests that even - on Mr. Newenham's own showing he had saffieient means, - and he says that at all events the proper course to take, as appears to me, is to address the lady's father, and leave it in his hands , a nd that Mr. Newen ham was bound as a man of honour to do so; and if Dr. Little did not think the reasons sufficient to avoid the perform aSfee of the contract, but that he thought Mr. Newenham had artiste means —means sufficient—and if he did not release him, he, as a man of honour, should not shrink. He left Mr. Beamish under the impreesion that he would write a letter and Dave Dr. Little to decide whether the contract should be per formed nr not. On that very day these words were what I have men tioned, and the letter I will now call your attention to, which he wrote to De. Little, was certainly a more extraordinary epis tle than ever I read. It is dated " Summer-hill House, Feb. 4, 1845"—one week alter he prcposes and is accepted—within one week after his apelication to the brother-in-law, when he apprised him distinctly that the lady had . no fortune ; three d'ys aft r he receiveid Dr. Lit tie's letter accepting him, and the day after he receives the assurance of attachment from this young lady, he writes this letter:— " Summerhill House, Feb. 4, 1845. " My dear Sir,—lt is with feelings very different from those with which I last addressed you that I now write to say that, however strange; it may appear to you, till after I received your letter on Saturday, I did not for a long period look . into my affairs, and that to my horror, on going over them with my professional friend, I find that, instead of the income which I was led to think I had, and which I led others also to think I had, that from various circumstances my income had dimi ni,hed down to 2401. a year, and my place, the heavy city taxes on which amount to more than the rent of a moderate house. This discovery at once altered my views as to the wis dom or propriety of drawing one whom I loved into the diffi culties which would certainly follow my marriage. "I am free to eanfess myself most blameable and most un wise its not having investigated those things previously, but it has been unfortunately to much my way through life. I had, beginning the world, at my father's death, 22,000/. ; this, from the circumstance of being in cash, and at my disposal, dwindled away to 15,000/. at my marriage, twenty-one years ago, and this again has been reduced to 6,000/., with charges of various kinds, leaving the balance as above. " I must ale r say, that though not expecting that your daughter had much, yet I did expect that there was some thing, and that from an observation of Mrs. Westropp's call ing her her child, and hearing that she had done handsomely for her slster, I did think that there were expectations there that might give us a lift ; but now, finding matters on both sides so different from what I expected, I will put it to you, as a man of the world, ought I to persevere in what would naturally bring only poverty, and all its accompanying sorrows, upon as ? She, as well as myself, have been accustomed to comforts and station, both which must inevitably yield before the wants of a family. I do, Sir, most deeply feel the awkward position lam placed in. I sent my friend yesterday to Benjamin Beamish, who felt warmly, and naturally so, on the subject. I met him afterwards, and again this morning, when, after a very long interview, I promised to write this to you ; as he said, were ho her parent, he would act very differently, bet as he stood, he said he felt not entitled to agree to break off, of er your approbation having been given. He urged me strongly on my honour; and while it grieves me sorely to have any person able to lay anything to my charge on that point, I also feel that I must look a little a-head, even late as it may be, and that it would be more dishonourable in me to be forced to undeceive her afterwards, than now to say that the pressing state of my affairs renders marriage at present a most ab,urd thing for me to think of. I may be reproached, and deserve it, for wounding the feelings of one who had gained so much on my affections, but I am suffering myself that which my folly deserves. " I remain, my dear Sir, yours very truly, "GEORGE NEWENHAM. " To Thomas Little, Esq., Sligo." Now, gentlemen of the jury, let me ask you, can anything excuse or justify such a letter as that, almost immediately alter he was accepted—atter he had exhibited her to the public as his intended wife—after all this, he writes this letter with such flimsy e4cuses to aff trd him, the means of violating his contract But there was enclosed in this document further matter, which was headed 6' postscript," and marked " private " D:. Little would not now produce this—nor would it ever have been seen by other eyes, though, in point of fact, it was not private, and ought not to have been, from what occurred; still Dr. Little would not have exposed it, but that in point of f ict it was not private, for it was communicated to gentlemen who will be pro duced to you. Here it is— form in safety, when the highly-reprehensible practice of de taching the engine from the front, and placing it at the back of the train, to propel it into the station, was adopted. The engine not having been stopped in time, or the break not applied, the train was forced into the station-house with great violence, smashing the first carriage and throwing it up on the platform, and breaking the strong iron and wood balustrades that are placed there to keep off the passengers. All the pas sengers were thrown from their seats by the violence of the shock. Fortunately no bones were broken, but many persons received severe cuts and contusions—heads and faces were dread fully disfigured, and one lady was sadly shaken by the concus sion. Several minutes elapsed before any attention was paid to the injured individuals, who were at length taken to the infirmary, where their wounds and bruises were dressed, after which they were enabled to proceed by the next train. In this accident not the slightest palliative presents itself for the recklessness of the railway people. The practice of placing an engine behind the train has been so repeatedly condemned by public opinion, tbat it seems an act of wanton trifling with the lives and limbs of the passengers to resort to such a dan gerous mode of propulsion. We trust that a good inquiry will be made into the affair, and that the culpable parties may be dismissed from the company's service. EXPLOSION OF A LOCOMOTIVE BOILER.—As the half-past eight parliamentary train, or that which carries passengers at Id. a mile, was standing at the Walton station on the South western Railway on its down journey yesterday, the engine being then taking in water, and the engine-man beneath ex amining his engine, as is customary during a stoppage, a sud den explosion took place, and the steam rushed out at the fire door in a direction so that the engine-man was severely scalded. The fireman escaped unhurt. The only other person who sustained injury was not a passenger, but a bystander. He was struck on the back of his head by a piece of coke, but with no great force. ACCIDENT AT THE BRICKLAYER'S ARMS STATION OF THE DOVER RAlLWAY.—Yesterday afternoon, about half past four o'clock, an accident occurred at the Bricklayers' Arms station of the Dover Railway, by which a man named Richard Smith, aged thirty years, sustained a severe injury. He was engaged in removing one of the iron tables, a machinery used for shifting carriages from one part of the line to another, and whilst so employed his left hand became jammed between the chains by which such movement is effected. From ap pearances it was feared that the whole of his fingers were cut off, but on being conveyed to Guy's Hospital, it was ascer tained that the thumb and middle finger had been injured, but from the nature of the injuries Mr. Forster, the house surgeon, deemed it necessary to remove a portion f the bone of each member. The poor fellow suffered excruciating torments. He is, however, doing well. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE LANCASTER. AND CARLISLE RAILWAY.—An inquest was held on Tuesdey last the 19th inst., before R. Wilson, Esq., Coroner, at Borrowbridge, near Boston, on the b Kly of a man named Todd, who met his death while working on that line of railway, at a viaduct near the above place. It appeared from the evidence that there is attached to the works a small stage, beneath which there are conducting rods for the purpose of moving it to different parts as the operations require. On this stage is placed a small crane, used for drawing up stones for the erection of the via duct. By some cause or other, not ascertained, these rods broke, and the stage, being weakened, gave way with the crane, from which was suspended by a rope a great block of stone. There were two - men on the stage, who were precipitated to the ground, and there were three others below. The five man were also very seriously injured. Todd (the deceased) had his arm very dremitully lacerated, his left thigh fractured, and a compound dislocation of the ancle joint. He died, after the most extreme suffering, on Monday morning last. Another man, name Brown, had sustained a compound fracture of the leg, the muscles and integuments being dreadfully torn, and amputation above the knee was found to be immediately neces sary. The other rnen are more or less severely injured. NAVAL INT E LLIGENCE POR ISMOUTH, TUESDAY. The Lords of the Admiralty dined yesterday on board their yacht, the Black Eagle, the establishment of Sir C. Rowley, the Port Admiral, having been despatched to Brighton in the Mercury tender to prepare for the gal lant adiniral's arrival there. The following notice was exhibited at the Royal Naval College in the dsckyard, and at the George Hotel, Ports mouth, last evening : " The Earl of Haddington will see officers at the Naval College at a quarter beibre ten o'clock to-morrow morn ing. " Officers who have had an interview with his Lord ship since August, 1844, cannot be received at this levee. " The list for names is at the college. " Admiralty-house, Monday, August 18." We are sorry to announce, however, that last evening the noble earl was afflicted with an attack of his old com plaint (palpitation of the heart), which has confined him to the yacht the whole of this day. The levee is conse quently postponed. The following officers , entered their names for presen tation : Captains.—Hendry (1822) ; Campbell (Royal Ma rines).. Lieutenants.—D. Welch (1812, of the Victory) ; W. G. Dowden k 1812) ; W. Fitzmaurice (1802) ; J. Comp ton (1838, of the St. Vincent) ; J. Inglis (1826) ; J. Stone (1800) ; J. H. Turner (1825).

Gordon, accompanied by Captain the Hon. R. S. Dundas, C. 8., Private Secretary to the. First Lord of the Admiralty 7 Captain Brandreth, Di rector of Engineering and Architectural Works, &c.), and put them on board the Bee, steam-tender to the Excellent, where their Lordships were joined by Captain Sir Thomas Hastings, who conducted them over the Ordnance department at Priddy's Hard ; the barge of the Port Admiral was towed astern of the Bee. After the inspection of the Ordnance establishment, their Lordships proceeded by land to the Royal Clarencnvic tualling establishment, about 10 o'clock, where they were received by Captain Carter, Superintendent, Mr. Town, Master-Attendant, and Mr. Grant, Storekeeper, who conducted their Lordships over the entire estab lishment. _ _ Their Lordships ordered plans to be forwarded to Whitehall of a reception-room for the terminus of the railway in the Clarence-yard for the use of her Majesty. At about a quarter past II o'clock the Board left the Clarence-yard in a carriage, and proceeded to the Royal Hospital at Hasler, where their Lordships were con ducted over the establishment by Captain Carter, the Superinvndent. Their Lordships left the Royal Hospital and returned by carriage to the Clarence-yard at a quarter past one o'clock, and embarked in the barge of the Commander in -Chief (which had been some time in waiting, in charge of Flag-Lieutenant Triacett), and proceeded on board the Black Eagle to luncheon. After which, their Lord ships returned to the dockyard to complete their inspec tion. They visited the various storehouses and new Works, and especially the steam basin now in course of construction by Mr. Peter Rolt, the contractor, the new ships, boat-house, &c. _ _ Lieutenant W. E. Triscott (1837, acting First-Lieu tenant to Admiral Sir Charles Rowley) is in attendance upon their Lordships as their Flag-Lieutenant. On inquiry this evening, we were informed the Earl of Haddington was better in health, but unable to accom pany the other honourable members of the Board in their inspection of the dockyard. Admiral Sir Charles Rowley, Bart.. Commander-in- Chief at this port, went on a month's leave this morning to Brighton. The Gallant Admiral's flag will be struck on board the Victory this evening at sunset, when Rear- Admiral Dacr,:s will take the command, and act in the double capacity of Port-Admiral and Admiral-Superin tendent of the dockyard.

The Kingfisher, new 12-gun brig, was removed from the basin this morning, to make room for the Carnatic, 72. The Athol, troop-ship, Master-Commander Yearn, will be ready for sea on the 26th. An accident occurred on board the President, 50, Captain Stanley, flag of Rear-Admiral Dacres, on Saturday, by the breaking of a halser, whereby two men were severely injured. One had his leg broken. DEVONPORT --7 The Calliope, 26, Captain — Stanley, was mustered, inspected, and paid advance wages on Satur day, struck the flag of Admiral West, Commander-in- Chief, on Sunlay, and sailed on Monday for New Zealand, with Governor Grey. The Sylph, tender, now carries the flag of the Com mander-in-Chief. The Avenger, steam-frigate, was undocked on Monday. Mhe Jackal' steamer, Lieutenant Commander Pasco, made an experimental trip round the Eddystone on Fri day, having reduced her draught by lightening stores. 8;(.. The result was, an increase of speed at the rate of three miles and a-half per hour—making eight miles and a-half per hour total. The Bhadamanthus, steam-transport, Master-Com mander Laen, arrived on Saturday from Cork, with sue pernumeraries. Another of Nasmyth's lift-hammers is being fitted .in the south smithy in this establishment. The fortification of Haddon Heights commenced on Monday. The defences of Drake's Isiand and Makes heights are rapidly progressing. Au application having- been made by Messrs. White ford, Bennett, and Tucker, of Plymouth, attorneys, on behalf of a newly-formed company at Pl 3 mouth, for the construction of ,a new floating basin inside the pier at Nlillbay (a survey of, the locality for whi :h was made in 1838), the Lords of the Admiralty have directed the Port-Admiral, Sir John West, Mr. Walker, harbour master, and Mr. Lum , dalo, master-attendant, to view and report on the proposed site. The space chosen is 20 ace's. PORTSMOUTH, WEDNESDAY.—This morning the Board of Admiralty, comprising the Right Hon. the Earl of Haddington, First Lord ; Vice-Admiral Sir W.

The lower tier, for merly comprising 32 pounders only, will consist of 62- pounders, forming a battery of 32 heavy guns, com manding the entrance and approaches to the harbour, and crossing fire with Southiea Castle. This fort has further been mounted with several long 18 and 32- pounder pivot guns, and, when complete, will be one of the - best fortified positions on the coast.

" POSTSCRIPT " Private.—l think it fair, as one who would have a right to be dealt 'openly with, to inform you that among the in discretions of my past life, there is one which leaves a charge that cannot b, overlooked in my expenses. I allude to a connexion with a person which has long since ceased, but which leaves her and five children looking to me fur suppori, which in the scantiest way must be felt on so small a pro perty as mine. I feel ashamed at having to expose my folly to the - eyes of a stranger, but hope that you will see I only do so to account for the necessity of acting as I have above." Now, gentlemen of the jury, is not that another pretext put for ward with the view of dissolving the contract ? But can either of the topics in this letter justify such conduct ? Was a man of his age thus to treat this unfortunate lady, whose affections were engaged by hum—whose promise was obtained—who over and over again was exhibited to the public as his intended wife ? I say; and I say again, that there is no cause, and that she is entitled so heavier damages on this account. After the examination of witnesses, who proved the fore going statement, Mr. George Bennett, Q. C., addressed the jury fur the de. fence, and in the coarse of his speech said—Gentlemen of the jury, the plaintiff is entitled to damages, and 1 tell you, under his Lordship's correction, if you are of opinion that she is not entitled to more than 5001., after we produce the order made to lodge that money in Court, that your verdict ought to lie for the ,tefe.sdant. I don't dispute—l never did —the right of thin lady to get compensation, and his counsel advised him to lodge that sum, which he thought would have brought this matter to an end, and have saved this public in. vestigation, annoying as it must be to every one concerned. We may thus sum up the case :—This lady has lost a widower of 53, whose means we will show you are moderate—who com mands, with his demesne and all, something less than 4001. a year. She has lost him and his fortune, and she gets 5001 Now, what prospect has she before her ? If he insisted on his rights he might have left her a young widow without any sup port. That is one consideration. He, however, thought, whe ther right or wrong—or his Counsel thought—that he was not worth more than 5001.—( Laughter.) He valued himself at that much, and I think, if he were to ask her on the day he put the question, whether she would prefer 5001. in hand, or a wi dower of 53, you need not tax your imagination severely to discover what her answer would have been.—(Laughter. In addition to what you were told of this man's circum stances, I admit that he had acted wrong at one period of his life, and that he pays for his error still, for that he has five persons to support, besides their mother. But I will pass by this part of the case, for in saying more I might offend the delicacy of those I see around me. Is there, I ask, a young lady wfio sees me now—and, indeed, I wish I had in this case a jury of pretty girls to address—(Laughter)—and I could easily empanel them in this Court, my Lord—(Loud laughter) —Were you. ladies, in that box, to you I would say no more than this—Would you rather have a widower of fifty-three, with five little pledges hanging on his back, than a fortune, say of 400/. or 5001. in hand at your disposal? Ladies of the j iry, have you agreed to your verdict ?—(Great laughter.) There was a famous poet who wrote of a lady. You have read this, my Lord. After giving a history of the lady, he described her as being. rather fond of the male sex—(Loud laughter)— indeed, I helieie that this a propensity most ladies have.- -( Renewed laughter.) Now, she had to draw a comparisoa, ,—riot between a man of fifty-three and a girl of twenty six, but between a man of fifty and one of twenty-five. The question was asked ; she looked at each, and immediately and very candidly said, " I'd rather have two of five-and-twenty than one of fifty." 7 -(lmmoderate laughter.) But, gentle men of the jury, the friends of this young lady think differ ently. They are of opinion that this widower of fifty-three should pay—for what ? Compensation in damages for the loss she sustained I Why, I believe the damage she sustained could , never be estimated at 500 /. But the damages were not to be coMpensation—vengeance possibly must be gratified—pride must be fed —I won't go so far as to say that avarice must be gorged ; but this appears to me, that feelings were brought inn; the case to withdraw from the jury the legitimate ground of action, and make a tax upon the defendant for other motives. The jury retired, and after an absence of nearly half an hour returned a verdict for plaintiff-7001. damages, and 6d. costs. A shout of applause followed, bat it was almost instantly suppressed by the Sub-Sheriff. RAILWAY ACCIDENTS. ' "ANOTHER ACCIDENT ON THE NORTHERN AND EASTERN RA ILway.—The recently-opened portion of the Northern and Eastern Railway, on which the late appalling accident took place, was the scene of another frightful occurrence on 'Tues day afternoon,. of a somewhat similar character, and although it was not attended with such a deplorable loss ot life as the previous one, yet several of the passengers have received serious eoe s ui ions, and the escape of human life may be truly consi dered miraculous. It is necessary to state, that since General Pasley sated at the recent Coroner's inquiry, that it was highly dangerous for trains to pass over the newly constructed part of the road, vie., between Bishop's Stortford and Eiy, at the rate of thirty miles an hour until it was properly consoli dated, the Company very promptly lessened the speed ; and which has been a.lhered to up the present time, making a difference in the arrival of trains of about an hour at the several stations. On the morning of Tuesday the usual day maietrain left the Sltoreditch terminus at half-past eleven o'clock, and proceeded with safety to Cambridge. After the necessary stoppaee at that station the train renewed its course, and on arriving about two miles beyond Waterbeach, seven miles from Cambridge and the same distance this side of Ely, the engine ran off the rail on the left side, dragging the tender and the. whole of the carriages after it. Fortu nately this part of the line is a perfect level and the en gine had not travelled more than thirty or forty yards over the ballast before it completely turned over with the tender into a drain partly full of water. The luggage-ven by the sudden jerk became detached, and the wheels were perfectly imbedded, arid thus brought the remainder of the train to a stand-still. The alarm that immediately ensued amongst the passengers may be well conceived under the circumstances. The head guard, who was in his usual seat, on the top of one of the carriages, perceiving that the engine had run off the line, jumped from his place on to the road. The etep of his seat was drieen through the plate-glass window o. a first-class carriage, in which were seated three ladies, one of whom was much cut by the glass. The cries of the females are described to have been of the mast piercing character, ant it was with some diffieulty that their excited feelings coaid be subdued. During the confusion a painful alarm was created for the safety of the en ine-driver and stoker,• as they were seen to be on the engine when it capsized. To the surprise and gratification of all, however, the poor fellows, evidently much terrified, were seen wading through the water in the ditch unhurt. It ap pears that as the engine turned over they were thrown some distance from it into the pool, and were accordingly pre served. As soon as the affrighted passengers were remelted from the carriages, messengers were dispatched to Ely and Waterbeach for the aid of pilot engines in order to replace the train. In the meanwhile most of the passengers posted on to Ely, and on the, guard making a strict examination as to what was likely to have caused the accident, they found about three inches of metal cut off one of the outer rails at a joint, and on searching about found the piece, which they took charge of and brought it up to town yesterday, and delivered it into the hands ot Mr. Dowling, the superintendent of the line, in order to assist the official inquiry which will be instituted relative to the occurrence. On the arrival of the pilot engines, and a member of assistants, active measures were adopted to raise and place the carriages on the lice, which, in the course of a few hours, was accomplished, and at four o'clock the train resumed its journey to Norwich. To remove the engine and tender from the ditch by the means then available was perfectly im pos.ible, and they were accordingly left. They were both embedded to a censiderable extent in the ballast. It is said they wilt remain iii . the same state until inspec'ed by Major- General Pasley. The guard of the train says that the speed of the train at the time of the accident was from about twenty to ursta t t h e e s ir thpatlai nn passengers in the train. were The five m il es an h our . Th e c arriages were s h a tt ere d b y the shock, b ut not to any extent, as t h ey wer e capa bl e o f re suming official report urempoakrtinigif fur ther the aff he hurt, but inquiries we were intermed that there were some, though not materially. It is worthy of remark that the Company's servants afforded every facility to collect the correct particulars of the unfortunate event, and evinced not the least desire to hush it me" The Canzbridge Advertiser says, in reference to the above accident Most fortunately there were but ten passengers, and we are able to state, notwithstanding the difficulty we have had in obtaining authentic information, that no one was se riously injured, except one passenger, who received some severe injuries in the face, although the shock was tremendous, aed for the moment every one was convulsed with horror and dis may. After two or three hours' delay everything was ad• justed, and the train proceeded on its way, but it is impossible to describe the niineled sensations of apprehension and horror which this unfortunate accident has occasioned. It is not, of course, ou: bueness to regulate the railway, but something must be done, and that immediately, to insure the safety of tee public. Better, far better, will it be to return to our old stage coaches, which, after all, were the glory and admiration of our town and neighbourhood, till the safety of the railway is completely and assuredly' ascertained, than to have the lives and limbs of those who are.nearest and dearest to us continually in peril., ACCIDENTS ON THE NORTH MIDLAND RAILWAY.— An accident occurred last Sunday, at the Derby station, to the mail train from Leeds, which, though fortunately not attended with fatal results, was productive of serious injury and alarm to the passengers. The train had reached the ticket plat- kemQ ;." 1,- 1 01-4 4 , THE CORN TRADE. Livitavosm, Atm 19. The dull accounts from London last week put an extinguisher upon all life in the corn trade here, and the few sales effected in Wheat were rather in favour of the buyer ; other articles remained steady in value. On Sunday night considerable rain fell, and yesterday was showery with a warmer temperature, being decidedly the most dangerous day we have yet had. -A great portion of the Wheat in this district has suffered severely from wet, inclement weather, being sadly discoloured, mildewed, and blighted, and we believe the injury already sustained by the crops in this kingdom to be of a more serious character than is generally supposed.; the last two weeks the crops have :made very little advance toward ripening, consequently a September, if not an October, gather ing of the new grain is the prospect before us, with all the re tareing'consequences of shortened days and lengthened nights. The weight of the new Wheat cannot, even if hot continued sunshine should visit us, equal last year's growth by two or three pounds per imperial bush-. 1. Exported to. Ireland from the 12th to the 18th inst. inclusive :-132 qrs. Indian corn. ; Coastwise, 67 qrs. Wheat, 300 gra. Rye, 175 Ids. Oatmeal, 268 sks. and 120 brls. Flour. The weather is alarming, but the lower account from London for Wheat prevented any ad vance here to-day; holders, feeling certain that old Wheat must increase in value, were more firm. For all ether articles we repeat our quotations of this day week. AUGUST 20.—Last night was wild and wet; to-day has been much like a'cold, rough, and strong one in February. Specu lators and dealers also have been at work here to-day in wheat, and trying in vain to get bonded fl. , ur at the late advanced rates. Wheat made Id. to 3d. for 7 , 01135., and in oneivstance 4d. over yesterday's terms. The prospeet fur the growing wheat is gloomy in the extreme. SUSPICIOUS CASE AT NORTH- FLEET. The inquest upon the body of John Tuckwell, who died, as was believed by the overseers of the parish, in consequence of the neglect of the medical and relieving officers of the Union of North Aylesford, including the parish of Northfleet, was resumed on Tuesday at half past three, the hour to which it was adjourned by the Coroner, with the concurrence of the jury on Friday. The Clerk of the Board of Guardians, Mr. John Simp son Bullard, attended on the Coroner's summons, and produced the books of the Board, and the reports made by the medical officer in the case of the deceased, and from his evidence, and that of Mr. Whitcombe, the me dic it officer, and of Mr. Liddell, the relieving officer of the Union, it appeared that Mr. Wood, the guardian of NOrthflferparish, 'had interposed to prevent the giving of medical or other relief to the unfortunate deceased. Mr. Liddell threw himself upon the mercy, of the jury, admitting that he had not performed his duty as relieving officer. Mr. Bullard deposed that neither Mr. Liddell or Mr. Whitcombe had done their duty, and all of them dis proved the evidence of. Mr. Wood, who, was then called upon by the Coroner for re-examination. It is right to state that, on the opening of the pro ceedings, on this day, the Coroner directed that Mr. Wood should leave the room, and when now called upon Mr. Wood was not to be found. The constable of. he parish was sent to find him, and after the lapse of an hour he returned, saying that Mr. Wood had neither gone home or to any place in the neighbourhood, but was seen about an hour before his attendance was required in the vicinity of Swanscombe Wood. The CORONER then proceeded to charge the jury, first observing, that the odium which Mr. Wood's strange dis appearance must necessarily give rise to against that gentleman rested with himself, as he alone was re :Tensible for it by such disappearance, he (the Coroner) being, willing to give him an opportunity to explain, if he possibly could, the strange evidence he gave. That evidence was contradicted by Mr. Whitcombe and all the other officers of the Union and of Northfleet parish ; but as Mr. Wood thought proper not to appear, he must be responsible to himself for the results. The Coroner then proceeded at great length, and with great ability, to co nment upon the evidence, and animadverted in the strongest terms of reprobation on the "petty quarrels and squabbles" of the parish and Union authorities for the administration of the poor-law, which, in many instances, coming within his cognizance as Coroner, had led, in all human probability, to the death of unfortunate paupers ; and went on to say, that the unfortunate deceased man might be now living if.he had been duly attended to, and had medical relief in the early stage of his disorder. It appears, continued the Coroner, that he was unattended by the medical officer from Wednesday, the 6th, until the following Tuesday, leaving an interval of six days without any medical or other , parish aid ; and such neglect, from whatever source it might arise, was greatly to be deplored. Such eases as this threw odium upon the poor-law, the general principle of which was gaod, but the administration of which was too often improperly conducted --(Cries of " Hear, hear," from all parts of the room.) Although the medical officer in this case unadvisedly discontinued his attendance, he (tbe Coroner) conmidered the re lieving officer most blameable, and Mr. Wood most blameable of all, for it appeared from what transpired in evidence, that he had, as local guardian, improperly interfered with the medical and relieving officers' duties, when it was clear he had no power or right to interfere with, or exercise any authority at all over any officer of the Union in his individual capacity as guardian. In this case it was evident that Mr. Wood did interfere and exer cise an improper or illegal authority—(Hear, hear) — and that such interference in a case terminating fatally, as this poor man's did, subjected the party so interfering to a verdict of manslaughter. The Coroner concluded a long and able address to the jury, by a recommendation to them to give such a verdict in the case as would satisfy the public mind that strict justice should be done, and expressed a hope that they would never again be called together upon an occasion so peculiarly painful, or under such distressing circumstances. He also made some strong observations upon the necessity and propriety of printing, for the information of the parochial authorities of this Union, and for the satisfaction of the payers of poor-rates, as well as of tha poor themselves, the rules and regulations of the board. The Jury having deliberated about half an hour, re timed the following verdict :—" Our verdict is, that John Tuckwell died from natural causes, namely, the small-pox ; and we much regret that so little a: tention had been paid to the patient in the early part of the dis ease, apparently in consequence of the undue interfe rence of the-local guardian with the overseer and reliev ing officer." The room was crowded during the whole of the pro ceedings, which terminated by the returning of the verdict, at near eight o'clock, with the resident gentry of the parish, the poor-law authorities of the Union, and several medical practioners of Gravesend, and the surrounding district ; and the most intense interest was evinced by all parties present in the proceedings. The poor rates of Northfleet parish are 1,5701. a year, and the relief given to the the poor, it is said, amounts to the expenditure of 2001. a year.
