ENTERING TO R THE PLATE.—A burglary was committed the other day at Bridewell in the City, and two or three of the constables were robbed. The burglars carried off a quantity of plate, and the only wonder is, that as they were in the humour to carry off all the spoons, they should have left any of the constables behind._ Punch. .~~ VP . " THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 2L 1881. LAW INTELLIGENCE. JUDGES' CHAMBERS Aug. 27. (Before the LORD CHIkF BARON of the Court of Exchequt-r.) THE QUEEN V. LORD RANELAGH. It will be in the recollection of our readers that the grand jury sitting at the Central Criminal Court a few days since found a " true bill" against the noble defendant for an assault alleged to have been committed by his Lordship upon certain officers upon the London and Greenwich Railway. In the ordinary course of matters, therefore, the Noble Viscount would have been called upon to surrender, and to take his trial at the Central Criminal Court. Mr. METcsix this morning, on behalf of Lord Ranelagh, applied to the j udge at chambers for a writ of certiorari to remove the indictment from the Cen tral Criminal Court into the Court of Queen's Bond). The Loin) CUM' BARON at once granted the ap plication. The case will therefore come on for trial in the Court of Queen's Bench at the Nisi Prius sittings after Michaelmas term. Hdbiall, on the 16 - h of October, 1832, killed and Inurder,ii bia wifp, Elizabeth Threllall. Mr. Msule conducted the prosecution ; Mr. Joseph Pad hick and Mr. Sowler defended the prisoner. The case has rx:Ated great interest from the fact of the alleged murder having been committed in the year 1832, and also because the prisoner has since that period been married, and has a large family, and has conducted himself in a most exemplary manner, both as a father and also as a policeman, in which force he was a constable for twelve years ; he is now a re spectable farmer at Preston Gabbald, in Shropshire, where he is much respected. His first wife was, on the 16th of October, 1832, found drowned in the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. A coroner's inquest was held, the prisoner was examined, and no charge was made against the prisoner, who was separated from his wife. She was engaged at the time as a servant at the Bull in Walton, he being servant to his uncle Edward Threlfall, of Halsall. The first witness called was Thomas Ball, farmer at Halsall, who stated that a good many years ago, as he was going to his work to get potatoes, with a woman named Jane Bradshaw, who is now dead, he saw a woman floating in the water of the canal, near the Hill-bridge. Robert Shaw's boat lay there, and the body was ten or fifteen yards astern of the boat. He got a pole off the boat, pulled the body to the side, and got her out. William Bradshaw and se veral others were present. He did not know the woman. A handkerchief or a shawl was tied twice or three times round her neck with two or three knots. One of the eyes was rather strangled with blood. Took her to a building, which he thought be longed to William Martin, and left her there till the night, when she was removed to Halsall warehouse. machine-house. Richard Shaw helped to carry her. James Kiraly, farmer, stated that he thinks on the 16th of October, 1832, he fetched the coroner, when be heard a woman had been found drowned, he being a constable at the time. The next day he fetched the prisoner from one of Edward Threlfall's fields, and asked him to come and see whether the woman found was his wife, as they had got to talking that she was his wife. He objected to go. Witness said he would make him go, and then they went to the machine-house, and as soon as he saw the body the prisoner exclaimed that she was his wife. Prisoner did not come in—witness invited him in. Prisoner did not appear troubled ; did not see any difference in him. Mary Hall stated that she had seen the prisoner, and that she saw him twice at the Black Bull, in Wal•. tun, when he was separated from his wife, Elizabeth Threlfall, who was living as servant to Thom is Woolfall. It is eighteen or nineteen years ago. Witness then kept house for Thomas Woolfall, who was her father. The deceased asked leave one day to go with the prisoner to see the children, and they started to go to Lulsall. She came back the same night between nine and ten o'clock. About a fort night after the deceased went out to some one and came back between ten and eleven o'clock, and one washing-night afterwards she went out between six and seven. One Mrs. Hudson, who is dead, brought her a message from deceased. On the next Wednes day her brother Thomas told witness that deceased was drowned. John Baker, a farmer at Nisherton, stated that he knew the deceased when servant at the Black Bull at Walton, many years ago ; that one night he saw a man and woman, after dark, in a little field about 120 yards from the Sefton Arms, and that he went to them and knew the deceased. Robert Rimmer stated that he was a labourer, and that he had known the prisoner 23 years. He had not seen him for 18 years, when he rode with him from Liverpool to Edward Threlfall's. On the road they called at the Black Bull and asked for some refreshment, which was brought, and the prisoner asked the servant if Elizabeth was in. Shortly after Elizabeth (the deceased) came into the room and asked the prisoner what he wanted with her. Prisoner said that he wanted her to go and live with him again, and that he would be as good to her as ever he had been bad. She agreed to come and live with him if he would take a cottage, and they might live by them selves. He said he had done so, and had taken one at Churchtown in Halsall, and asked if she would come on Sunday night. She said she could not come on Sunday, as she had washing to do on the Monday, but that she would get up early and get it done and come on Monday night. They made it up to meet at Lydiate-hill, but she was to keep on the left bank of the canal, and if they did not meet at Lydiate-hilJ she was to keep on, and he would meet her. On the Tuesday after witness heard of her being drowned. Mr. Birdwell, surgeon at the hospital, was then examined, to show that Richard Shaw was unable to attend from illness to give evidence at the trial. He stated that, about eighteen or nineteen years ago, as near as he could recollect, he was sleeping in a boat called the Collier, in the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, at Halsall, of which boat his brother was captain ; and that between twelve and one, as near as he could recollect, he heard a great bustle on the bank, and a woman strike. Heard them go down the canal side, and the woman screamed for help—" Oh dear, do help me !" and then there was a plunge into the canal. He got up and looked through the acuttle hole, and saw the prisoner, Thomas Tbrel.all ducking a woman in the canal. The woman scratched at the stern of the boat, moaning. Shortly after one of Kenworthy's flies came up. He spoke to the prisoner by name, and said, " Now, you must either run or be ta'ed," and he ran away. One of Kenworthy's men ran after him a short distance, and then came back. The man's name was Beckett. He did not do any thing sooner than morning. He durst not stir, and was afraid. He had not mentioned these things be fore, and had told now because he could not rest and could not follow his work. Saw the prisoner three or four years ago in Liverpool, when the prisoner was a policeman. He was about half drunk, and asked prisoner if be would take him up, and prisoner told him to go about his business. The boat lay above the middle of Halsall-hill, where there is a deep cutting. Could not see how prisoner was dressed. Did not know the woman. She spoke to the man. John Beckett, potato dealer, said that he knew Richard Shaw, who had to go on the canal. That he did not remember hearing of a woman being drowned in the canal at Halsall-hill ; and that, to the best of his knowledge, Richard Shaw never men tioned such a transaction when lying at Halsall-hill. Witness was captain of one of Kenwortby's flies on the Leeds and Liverpool canal. James Wignall—i am a police officer. I appre hended the prisoner on the 24th of April, and told him it was on a charge of murdering his wife. He said " I never heard of such a thing." At the close of the case for the prosecution, Mr. PoLLocK asked his Lordship if he should address the jury, and several witnesses—among whom were two clergymen, the head of the police, and the chief su perintendant at Liverpool—all gave the prisoner the best character possible. The jury then Acquitted the prisoner, without hearing his counsel. NiSI v PRIUS COURT. (Before Mr. Justice WILLIAMS.) SAUNDERS V. THE CITY or DUBLIN STEAM.PACKET COMPANY.

Mr. Atherton, Q.C., Mr. Crompton, and Mr. We b ste-r appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Knowles, Q C., Mr. Sergent Wilkins, and Mr. Cowling for the defendant.

This case closed the civil business of the assizes, and his Lordship proceeded to try pri,oners. It is expected that the Summer Assizes for the Norther❑ Circuit will conclude to-morrow. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. William Sells, a carman in the employ of Mr. Sher man, of the Bull and Mouth Inn, and carrier to the Great Northern Railway, was placed at the bar before Alderman Sir George Carroll, charged with abstract ing 10 parcels from a packet addressed to Mr. Crouch, the railway carrier of Tudor-street, Blackfriars, and fraudulently substituting a log of wood in lieu thereof. Mr. Parry, instructed by Mr. Barber, appeared for the prosecution ; and Mr. Worsley, with the solicitor of the Great Northern Railway Company, att en d e d on their behalf, and to defend the prisoner. Mr. Parry, after briefly stating the facts, said that the Great Northern Railway claimed a right to open packages containing a number of parcels forwarded by their line to or for Mr. Crouch, or any other car rier. in consequence of this claim, their right to do so was tested in the courts at Westminster, and the present Lord Chancellor, who was then Lord Crdef Justice of the Common Pleas, decided that their claim was void. Under these circumstances, the Learned Counsel stated his intention of asking the Alderman, after evidence had been duly tendered, to commit the prisoner on the charge of larceny or felony, in taking out certain parcels from a package for the purpose Of defrauding Mr. Crouch. George Briggs said—l am the Sheffield agent to Mr. Crouch. I collect small parcels in that town, form them into one or more large packages, and con sign them by different railways to Mr. Crouch, in London. On Saturday evening lair I directed three packages to Mr. Crouch, oce containing 1 twe_ce parcels, weighing 34lbs. ; one containing ihrec parcels 261bs ; and the other enclosing two parcels, 211bs. Cross -examined—I put the seventeen parcels into three packages, azid Bent them by the Great Northern 44 Rzilway. I paid she carriage of 24.21. for the 341)3., ls. Si. for the 26fb4., and lb. 41. for the 2111)3. p.tckays. Softie of the parcels were booked and pie! tor. The carriage of the seventeen parcels, if Mr. Crouch had delivered them, would amount to 133. 9d. 1. only paid 53. ld. for the three packages to go by rail. Re-examined—By packing several parcels into one, we are enabled to carry men cheaper than the rail way companies. Thomas Cowell, in the employ of Mr. Crouch, said —I received on Sunday morning three packages from the prisoner. The 26Ibs. package contained only two parcels, and the 34lbs. package had only three instead of twelve; but a log of wood, together with a quantity of waste paper and other rubbish, was sub stituted for the nine parcels that were abstracted. Prisoner saw me open th;s package, because I refused to give him a receipt on his way-bill until I had seen that the parcels were all correct. On Monday morn ing he called with a parcel, and on looking to his way bill I saw the names of five parcels that had been taken out of the large package, and told Mr. Crouch, jun., who gave prisoner into Rustody. William Alfred Crouch, jun , said—As soon as the last witness informed me of the circumstance I gave the prisoner into custody, and went to Mr. Constable, the general superintendent of the Great Northern Railway, snd complained to him. He said he could not account for it, and promised to inquire and write to me in an hour. I told him that it I did not hear from him in that time, I should place the ureter in the hands of the police. He said that would be by far the better plan, and it was a pity I had not done so on a previous occasion. When I told the prisoner I would give him into custody, he said it was not his fault. Mr. Briggs said, the four parcels that were found in prisoner's cart, and now produced, are the same I consigned to Mr. Crouch. The officer said that prisoner on being taken into custody stated it was the company's doings, and that Mr. Trussel, one of the clerks, gave him the packages. Sir GEORGE CARROLL said there was no evidence before him to substantiate a charge of larceny or fe lony. Prisoner was the servant of the company in a great measure, and had rendered a very fair account as to how the parcels came into his possession. It would he his duty to discharge the prisoner, although, at the sams time, he was of opinion that a fraud had been committed in the substitution of rubbish fur genuine parcels. Mr. Parry then applied for a summons against the directors of the Great Northern Railway, or the secretary, at the party at whose instigation these pack tges were opened, for conspiring to defraud Mr. Crouch. Mr. Worsely said he was willing on the part of the directors to answer any specific charge that Mr. Parry might make against them, if it was brought forward in a legal form. Sir G. CARROLL said he could not entertain the application unless Mr. Parry had evidence to justify him in granting a summons upon a body of members such as the directors of a company. Prisoner was then discharged. John Howe Gordon appeared on an adjourned summons to answer the charge of withholding the sum of 5071. 20. fifd., claimed by David Samson and Stephen Boyce, the trustees for and on behalf of the London United District of the Society of the Ancient Order of Foresters. Mr. Cockle and Mr. Edwards were for the plain tiff, and Mr. Spicer and Mr. Yates for the de fend int. After a very lengthened examination, Str G. CARROLL said he was decidedly of opinion that the plaintiffs were entitled to the amount claimed, for which he would make the order. Mr. C, , ckle said the Act required, in the event of an order being made, that it should be for double the amount claimed. Sir GEORGE CARROLL said he should award double the amount; but from what he had seen of the gen tletnen who appeared for the society, he was sure they would not take that advantage to enforce the payment of more than was justly due. The order was then made for defendant to pay over to the plaintiffs, on or before Friday next, 1,0141. ss. ld., or in default a warrant to be issued. MARYLEBONE. Jeremiah Sullivan, a bricklayer's labourer, was placed at the bar on the charge of having stabbed Julia Sullivan, his wife, with intent to murder her. The prosecutrix, in giving her evidence, deposed as follows :—When this occurrence took place I lived in Ferdinand-place, Hampstead-road, and have been in the hospital ever since the 26th of June last. The prisoner is my husband, and we have lived separate from each other for some time. Between nine and ten on the night of the 26th he came to where 1 lodged, and on entering the room he said to me, " I've dropped in upon you at last, old lady," and at the same moment he seized hold of me by the left hand. About a fortnight before that he told me had some thing in his pocket in store for me. Mr. BROUGHTON—When he seized your hand as you have stated, what next happened ? Prosecutrix —I asked him to let me go, when I saw him put his hand up the sleeve of his coat as if he had something concealed there. I asked him what it was, and he replied, "Do you think I have anythin'g there to put myself into the power of the law, and send my soul to the devil ?" Mrs. O'Brien, a friend of mine, having knocked at the door, came in and sat down, when my husband remark e d t h a t h e wou ld stand a drop of beer amongst us. He locked the door, still keeping hold of my bands and on all three of us leaving together, we went to a public house some distance off, where we had a pot of porter, for which my husband paid ; he then asked me to call for a pot, but I told him I had no beer money. At another public-house, the Black Horse, Kentish-town, we had one more pot of beer. We left there at about twelve o'clock, and came down the Kentish-town-road, and as I was turning to go to my lodging, I said to Mrs. O'Brien, " This is the nearest way far me to go home," and to my husband I said, " Good night, God bless you, and I shall meet you to-morrow night at any place you may like to appoint." He went on a little, and I followed Mrs. O'Brien, w h en presently afterwards he called after me, "Julia, I want to speak to you." I turned back, and when I came to him I saw him draw his hand from behind him, and heard him say " Now rve done it for you." He then went away, and I was not aware that I had been stabbed until I felt blood streaming down my legs. I put my hand underneath my clothes, and intruding my finger into the wound it came against some part of my bowels. I sat down on the kerb, still keeping my hand to the wound, and cried out to Mrs. O'Brien to come to my assistance, saying, " Oh, I'm stabbed, I'm stabbed." She came to me, and sat by me, and in the course of a few minutes my husband returned, when Mrs. O'Brien said to him, " Mr. Sullivan, you have killed your wife ;" and the observation he made was, " No, she's not dead yet, what does she want sitting down there ?" He took hold of one of my arms, and Mrs. O'Brien the other, to lift me up, when my hands, which I kept close upon my stomach where the wound was, of course came away, and my bowels then worked out. I was taken soon afterwards to the hospital. In reply to Mr. BROUGHTON, The prosecutrix said, both before and after he came out of the last public-house, he asked me if I would go home with him ; but I told him he had no where to take me to. He then said, " Shall I stop with you ?" and on my telling him he should not, he remarked, " If I don't, then, it will be either death or glory to •night." He has often threatened to be my " butcher." Mr. Joseph Lister, house-surgeon at the Univer sity College Hospital, stated the nature of the in juries, by which the woman's life had been placed in great jeopardy. The prisoner was committed for trial. THAMES. Philip Clendon, 38, master of the ship Cambodia, was charged with having cau , 4ed the death of the late steward, Robert Hetherington, by striking him on his head and body during the homeward voyage from Calcutta. John Youngstated that he knewßobert Hethering ton, who died at sea on board of the ship Cambodia, on the 13th of April of the present year. On the 11th of the same month, about night time, witness saw the prisoner strike the deceased with a thick walking stick over the head and about the body. De ceased fell, and was rendered insensible from the effect of the blows, one of which descended on his bare head as be was leaving the cabin. On the next day he tried to cook the food, but he did it so badly that witness said, " You don't thrust that goose rightly," to which deceased, who was a north countryman, re plied, " I can do nae mair—l canna help it—l shall neer do muckle mair," and he wept. He afterwards became speechless, and died on the 13 h. Witness saw several marks of violence on his body, but did not perceive any on his head. Dr. Furlong, who was on board, attended him from the time of the injury to the period of his death, which was in all about thirty six hours. Atter some further evidence had been given, the hearing was adjourned until Wednesday next, Cap tain Clendon entering into reeognizances to the amount of 2001. to appear on that day.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Liverpool, A u g. 27. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron PLATT.) James Wick was indicted for having, at Manches ter, on the 21st of July last, wilfully murdered one Margaret Weeding, Mr. Joseph Pollock appeared for the prosecution, Mr. Munk and Mr. Sowler defended the prisoner. It appeared that the prisoner, who is a labouring man, and who had borne a good character fur kied ness and humanity, went to Manchester on the even ing of the 20th of July, and, having met with the deceased in the street, accompanied her to a house in Back Irwell-street, where the deceased lodged with another woman, named Farren. They had some drink, and the prisoner said that he would give the two women a shilling a piece. He then 14y down on a bed in the room and tell asleep, and then the two women went out to get some more drink at a public house and in about an hour or two returned. Early in the morning, a policeman, who was on his beat, heard a scuffle in the cellar where the prisoner and the women were, and heard a man say " Give me my money," and a woman answered " I will," and then there was a scuffle and kicking. The policeman then went down into the cellar and opened the door, after having listened a short time to the scuffle and blows, which continued. Ou entering he saw the prisoner getting up from the woman Farren, whom it ap peared he had been kneeling on, and on the bed the deceased was lying on her face. The prisoner said, " They have taken four half-crowns from me." On looking at the deceased more minutely he found that she was dreadfully bruised and kicked, so that he could hardly tell that she was a human being. The prisoner then put his shoes on and said, "They have taken my money betwixt them," and that he was sorry for what he had done. The deceased was then put upon a stretcher to be conveyed to the Infirmary, but she died before she reached that place. On ex amining the body it was found that she had four ribs on one side and five on the other broken, and that the liver was lacerated and the lungs penetrated, which injuries caused her death. Mr. MONK addressed the jury for the prisoner. His LORDSHIP having summed up, The jury returned a verdict ot Guilty of man slaughter. His LORDSEITP then sentenced him to be imprisoned for three calendar months. Elizabeth Swinnerton was charged with the wilful murder or Esther Swinnerton. Mr. Pollock and Mr. Assheton conducted the pro secution ; Mr. Monk and Mr. Sowler defended the prisoner. Patrick Nelson, a private in the 2d Regiment, said he lodged in the prisoner's house at Salford, and knew the deceased, who was stepdaughter of the priso ner. In the beginning ot May was at the house. Deceased was a cripple. She was going to bed on the landing of the stairs. The bed was not long enough and the bedding was only a few old clothes. The next day the deceased came to him, and be gave her some tea and things several times. On a Sunday, the 15th of June, deceased came into witness's room and he gave her some tea. She said she was relaxed in her bowels. The next Sunday she came again into his room, and showed a mark on her body. Witness gave her some tea. The next day, the 23d of June, saw the deceased at the petty door on her bare feet. She had a chamber utensil in her hand, and was clearing it out. The prisoner took hold of deceased's hand and rubbed the dirt in her mouth. The deceased ap peared to be very ill. Next day saw her in the par lour with the policeman by the fire. Had seen the prisoner strike deceased several times. Deceased had shown him a cut on her head. Caroline Nelson—Lodged at Thomas Swinner ton's. Knew the deceased, who was about seventeen years old. The prisoner made the deceased work about the house and carry coals, and do other things, and the prisoner used to beat her with a stick re peatedly, and once threw a poker at her. She never went down to the cellar without beating her—some times with a saucepan, and different things. Oa the Sunday before the deceased went to the workhouse heard the child cry. Went down to her. She slept in the cellar, which had a grating, through which the air came, so that the deceased would be exposed to the night-air. On the Monday the prisoner told the deceased to come up from the cellar. The deceased said she was so ill she could not, and the prisoner said that she would beat her and kill her if she did not come. She then came with great difficulty, and asked the prisoner for a drop of water to clean the utensil with, which the prisoner refused to give her. Other witnesses were then called, whose evidence went to the same effect as above. The result of the ill-treatment was that the neighbours interfered, a doctor was sent for, and the deceased was sent to the workhouse, where she eventually died. The medical man who attended her there stated that she had died from consumption, but that he could not say that the treatment of the prisoner had caused it. At the close of the case for the prosecution, Mr. Moeire submitted to his Lordship that there was no duty imposed by law on the prisoner to pro vide food, raiment, and the like, for the deceased, on which all the counts of the indictment proceeded. The prisoner was merely the servant of her husband, and there was no duty imposed on her when the paterfamilias was at home, for there could not be a divided duty. His LORDSHIP said in his opinion the indictment could not be sustained ; there was no duty imposed upon the prisoner, being a married woman, as was alleged in the indictment, for it was the husband's duty to provide all that was necessary and proper for the child, and to see that she received them. Fortu nately, in this case, the prisoner being acquitted on a point of law would not frustrate the end of justice, because, after the evidence of the medical man, who stated that with all his experience be could not say that the death was occasioned by the treatment which had been detailed, the jury could not find a verdict of guilty. The jury then Acquitted the prisoner. Mary Powell was indicted for the murder of her c hild, M a ry Ann Powell, by strangling her. Mr. Blair conducted the prosecution; the prisoner was not defended by counsel. The prisoner, it appeared, had, in the early part of this year, been removed to the workhouse in this borough, together with her three children. She had been ill. treated by her husband, and was in a state of great terror from fear of his violence. tshe became much excited at the workhouse, and was, finally, under the direction of the medical man, removed to the lunatic ward. She was in this excited and violent state for about a week, and then being better she, after a period of six weeks, was removed into the nursery, in consequence of one of her children being ill. She continued to nurse the child and to attend to the other children up to the month of July. She had frequently applied for permission to leave the house, but had been dissuaded from carrying out this inten tion, as on a former occasion, when her husband came to take her out, she became very touch excited. Finally, however, on the 17th, she left, with her two children, one having died in the workhouse, and about three o'clock in the day came to her sister's house. She left in about half an hour, and at eight o'clock was seen in a street near Lancelot's quay, with a female child in her arms. The body of the child was bare, but its face was covered. She was walking hastily, as if in alarm. A person whom she passed told her to cover the child, on which she laughed in so strange a way that the wit ness was induced to follow her. The prisoner, how ever, ran away in the direction of Lancelot's quay. About the same time a woman was seen in Lancelot's quay, near some warehouse steps, and shortly after there was found there the body of a child, with a pinafore tied tightly round its neck, and which proved to be the body of the deceased, Mary Ann Powell. Death had been occasioned by strangulation. About ten o'clock a woman was seen to throw herself off the landing stage into the river, and was got out with considerable difficulty. It proved to be the prisoner. She was in a state of great distress of mind, re proached them with having saved her, and tore her hair with frantic violence. She said she had mur dered her children ; one she had thrown into a privy in liurlington-street, and she could not remember what had been done with the other. She was taken to the hospital, and in consequence of being, in the opinion of the medical officer, in a state of insanity, was taken back to the lunatic ward in the hospital. The medical man who saw her there, and on whose recommendation she was placed there originally, stated that in his opinion she was of unsound mind on both occasions. Hie LORDSHIP having briefly su mmed up, the jury returned a v cr di e t of Not Guilty on the ground of in sanity. Se-ntence—To be kept in custody during her Ma esty's pleasure.
