VI .-00/ , t 4 -0- 14 F. 424 t 4. QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings ct Nisi l'r:u3, $t Guildhall, before Lord CAMPBELL and a Common Jury.) COWES V. CASMIAN. This was an action for a slander; alleged to bo spoken of the plaintiff by the defendant, imputing that she was unchaste. The plaintiff, Elizabeth Cowes, is a young unmarried woman, who had held the situation of bar maid at the Grapes Tavern, in Blackman-street, Borough, and at the Cock ard Magpie, in Worship street; and the de:endant, Patrick Cruhman, keeps a public house in Heaton. Mr. Parry and Mr. Metcalf) were • counsel for Vie plaintiff, and Mr. E. James, Q.c., represented the de fendant. William Fitzgerald, a police-constable—l am a sum moning' officer at the Worship-street Police court. I know Elizabeth Cowes, the plaintiff. She was barmaid at the Cock and Magpie, Worship-street, kept by a person named Collins. I also know the defendant, Patrick Cashman. I believe he keeps tha White Hart at Hoxton Old Town. In July last I went with Cash man to the Cock and Magpie. I saw the plaintiff, the barmaid there; she was then acting as barmaid. The defendant and I went there to have refresh ment. The defendant asked the plaintiff how she did, and shook hands with her. We then had our refreshment and left the house. On the following Sun day I went to the defendant's house at his request to tea. I saw the defendant there. In the course of con versation he asked me if I recollected going into the Cock and Magpie with him. I said I dial. Ha then stated that the girl he shook hands with had had a child by a policeman named Guest. I said, "Indeed.", He said "Oh yes; Murray knows all about it," meaning one of the warrant officers of the N division. That was all that passed between us on that subj2ct. I repeated this to the girl's master and mistress. Cros.- xamined by Mr. JAMES —lt was about the 10th July, 1850, that I had this conversation with the de fdndtn'; and I told the girl's master and mistress on the followinz diy of her having had a child. Mr. Henry Collins—l keep the Cock and Magpie, near Worship-street Pvlice-office. Elizabeth Cowes was a barmaid in my service in August and September ►ast. In conacquerce of what I had heard from Fitz gerald, 1 went with Mr. Mirky and Guest to see the defendant. Murray ',offered to shake hands with Cashman, and said to him, " What have you been saying about me?" Cishman said, "Well, I heard it." Guest said, "You ought to bo ashamed of yourself to bring me into this matter." Cashman said, " I heard it at the bar." I had previously spoken to Cashman about what Fi . zgerald had told me; and Murray and Guest had also be en spoken to by my wife and the plaintiff. Guest also said to Cashman, ho should give him a good hiding tor making such an assertion. Murray de- nied having told Cashman. Cashman said he had heard somebody make the statement at the bar, but he cculd not tell who it was. I remember 141 r. W. nig visiting the barmaid (the plain tiff) at my house. She is about 22 or 23 years of age. Hill and the plaintiff appeared to be keeping company, and Hill had told me that he int. - ..nded to marry her. In consequence of this slander ghe gave notice to leave my service. She appeared to be very much distressed and low-spirited about it. Wm. Guest—l am a police-constable. I know the plaintiff. It is certainly not true that she has been the mother of a ch!hl, and that I have been its father. I d9n't know that she has had a child. I have never had any improper intErgourse her, Cress.-exa.alined—Bef)re she went to the Cock and Magpie sh?.. was barmaid at the Grapes public-house in Blackman-street. I knew her there. I have never in my life taken her out. • Re-examined—The plaintiff was to my knowledge a well-;;enduc'el yourg woman when she lived at the Grapes. Mr. Joseph Morey deposed that he hal kept the • Grapes public-house, Blackman • street, Borougi!, and that plaintiff had lived in his home almost from her childhood, Nvi± flay exception or the time. whan she lived at the Uock and Magpie. Witr.ess remer.abere i the defendant calling en him c.n one occasion. sta.' saying he had got into a scrape; be said he had an action pending against him for sayin; that ElizahAh Cowes had had a child. Witnes asked why he had said so if it was not true? He said, from hearing it from other p2rtit's, but did not give witness his author. He said he had offered 501. to settle the matter. Witness advised him to do so. The defendant said the plaintiff had refused to take it. During the time witness had known the plaintiff sho had always borne a respectable character. Wm. aln clerk to a Mr. Roberts, an attorney. I know the plaintiff. I have known her about six years. I made a proposal of marriage to her about 18 months ago. That was accepted by her father. Iler mother is drad. The landlord and landlady of the Cock and Mag pie knew that I was engaged to be married to the plain tiff. We had intended first to have been married in August last. In July last I heard that she had had a child.. In con-Ague:lee of this, I told her I should not marry her until it was perfectly clear to my satisfaction that that statement was untrue; and our marriage was broken oft in August last. She left the " Grapes " be c tuse she had been out at a ball with ma. liar brother an :I sister were with her at the ssmo ball. Mr. E. JAMES addressed the jury for the defendant, denying that the plaintiff had utterly lost her chance of being married to the witness, William Hill, her former suit )r; and that bring so, ho contended she had not sustained - any " special damage)" which was necessary to the maintenance of an action like this. Lord CAMPBELL summed up, and The iury found a verdict for the plaintiff.—Damages, 504 GERMAN Y. The German journals received this morning are unanimous in stating that the stipulations entered into at Olmutz have been very unfavourably received by the secondary Governments of Germany. They were communicated to the Diet of Frankfort for its adhesion, and a very sharp discosion arose on them, in the course of which the plenipotentiaries of several states did not hesitate to express their dissatisfaction. The secondary Powers, and especially the four Royal Courts, now perceive that in desiring to lower Prussia they have played the game of Austria .more than they had intended. Nevertheless, it is not believed that the Diet of Frankfort, or the states of the Prussian Union, will refuse their adhesion to the arrangement ; but it is not considered • bal e probable that states which have bithertosstipported the policy of Austria may, in the Conferenees at Dresden, side with Prussia: The German Reform, the semi-official organ, has published shoral articles, declaring that the Prussian Government has the firm intention of maintaining the constitution, -and of con fining itself within its limits. In consequence of the summons to ke addressed to the Lieutenancy-General of Schleswig Holstein, by Austria and Prussia, to reduce He army to one-third of its present force, we learn that Denmark has undertaken, on its part, to leave in Holstein only the forces necessary to main tain order. The Prussian capital was tranquil at the date of the last accounts, and the funds remained firm. The following proclamation to the Saxon army has been issued by the Minister of War:-- " It is net unknown to the WaiDepartment that cer tain of the public journals allow themselves to publish the most malicious insinuations against' the &upon army, and to circul.tc suspicions a its patriotism ' its fidelity and devotion, and it s r e ai li ncss to o b ey the orders given it. The honour of thC army stands too high, and is too firmly established to rc quire any defence against such pitiful attacks. The War Ministry has not there fore issued any written reply to these insinuation), and h . thus gives the army a new prof of its firm confidence in the spirit by which it is animated. `. Dresdc-n, Dee. 5, 1350." " liABENSORET. ITALY. A letter fiorn of the 30th Ult., states that the theatrical sent Tinti had been ordered to quit .that city in 24 hours. This measure was not adopted frOm any political rotive, but was ascribed to the malice and envy or some rivali. The director of the theatre had cut his throat with a penknife. He is the fourth tnem...r of his family who has thus put an end to his existence. OA the 20th a carriage containing several persons was attackM and robbed by eighteen armed banditti, near Facrz3.

They overinok the fact that every member of the • community, in reference to existing obligations, is either a debtor or a creditor; but restricting the ex ception to the narrow limit intended, viz., to those v-ho owe, cr are owed money (and these, to simply to the extent of such , obligations), it may easily be spawn t;,at the opinion is erroncon:::!.

( THE SUN, The grand element in the supply of human wants, and in the production of riches, is labour. It creates and re-creates. No limit to its employment is to be found within the bounds of imagination. The more labour accomplishes, the more its ohj,cts are multi plied. As with learning, which opens new fields of knowledge at every step, so with labour; its applica tion does but widen its field of action. Man having passed from the natural to the snial state, and having subjected himself to laws which reject barter, and direct - to some extent the em ployment of labour, while they secure the posses sion of property ; finds a medium of ex change between labour and property indis pensable. While this medium is suited to the obligations of society, employment is found for all. Expand its amount simultaneously with the in creasing interclu.nges, and the incentives to industry are increbeed ; tho inventive faculties stimulated, and the mind becoming disentbralled, seeks to connect oceans and continents, and through the civilization of all mankind, to establish universal brotherhood. The capitalist- and labourer alike rejoice in the general prosperity. On the other hand, reduce the circulating medium below the amount on which society has founded its calculations, or below the amount required by exist ing obligations, and how is the scene changed! Re duce-it still further, and the want of employment becomes universal. Then the capitalist and the labourer, although unequally affected, equally join in lamentation. These facts cannot be denied. They are written on every page of history. Evidence of their truth comes trumpet-tongued in every recollection of the last thirty years. Every instance within that period of the want of employment ; every instance within that period of prosperity, is directly traceable to inef ficiency or sufficiency of the medium of exchange be tween labour and property. Until legislators learn these great truths, and act upon them, labour will be periodically exposed to starvation, and riches to plunder; until, finally, labour, seeking its birthright and ignorant of the source of its oppression, will rise in its might, and scatter all existing institutions to the winds, seeking to re-construct society on a plan better calculated to ensure its reward. When this time comes (as it surely will, provided the monetary policy of this ge nsration be continued), the only safeguard• against continuous anarchy, must be looked for in the in creased education and intelligence of the people.

This was an action against the Sheriff of Surrey for a false return made by his _officers to a writ of capias ad satisfaciendum. It appeared that some time ago an ac tion was brought against a person named George Robert Moore, a wharfinger and barge-owner at Ro therhithe, for an assault, and the verdict being agu j i t pAt him, a writ of fieri facies issued to levi.24)/. damites and 641. costs,, and some boats 41.1;id Otheirtffects were seized under it, 7 -isertMiero's father having claimed the nods selard as his property, the execution was with drawn, and a writ of ca. ea. issued. On the change , of sheriffi in the present year a fresh writ was issued on the 27th of February, and delivered to the officers of the defendant, who, on the 15th of March, returnrd non est invontus. A number of the Thames police and other persons were now called, who deposed that at the end of February and in the month of March last they saw Moore almost daily pursuing his usual occupation on and in the neighbourhood of the river, and that ho might have been met there', or, in the words of one of the witnesses, "cabbed" without difficulty by any person seeking him. The defence was, that although Moore might have been seen by others he was always invisible to the sheriff's officers, and that even if there had bean negligence there was no evidence of damage, as he was still liable to be arrested. The LORD CUIF:F JUSTICE told the jury there was abundant evidence that Moore might have been arrested it ordinary diligence had been used for the purpose. The only question, tb; , refore, if they believed the witneascs, was the amount of &magi'. Oa this point the plaintiff had not supplied them with any data, and it was for them, therefore, to decide whether. the damages should be substantial or nominal nary. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Da magea, 101 Mr.Chmnbera, Q.C., and Mr. HawkinF, were counee: r the plaintiff; and Mr. Martin, Q.C., for the de. LLEWELLIN V. MARSHALL. This was an action to recover 4201. las. for money lent, and interest. The defendant pleaded never in debted. Mr. Fortescue and Mr. Couch-were counsel for the plaintiff; aed Mr. Hawkins for the defendant. The plaintiff is a lady ninety years of age, and living at York -street, Hackney-read. The thfendant is a te bacconitt in Marchmout-street, Russell-square. The action was brought upon four I 0 U's, two of which were in theanelinary form for 103/. 10s. each, and the other two for 1031. and 101/..155. respectively, but with a promise upon them to repay the money in three and six months. The two latter wore Ojected as evidence, on the ground that they amounted to promissory notes, and should have been stamped; hut a female witness, named Stcekbridge, who lived in the same house, proved that the plaintiff being very deaf, and speaking herself very loud, she generally overheard all conversation with her; that she had frequently heard the defendant (who married a person who had been adopted by the plaintiff) apply for loans of money; and that on one occasion atter he bad done so she heard the plaintiff fetch some money and count out more than 100 sovereigns to him. The plaintiff's attorney also proved that he applied to the defendant for the sum claimed, and issued a writ, and that upon the delivery of the bill of particulars the defendant said he would pay no law expenses, and the old woman would not get it any the sooner for an ac tien";—and.flieitehe might pay it in three y ears or - t h ree monthP, he couldift tell which. Another witness proved that in a convcrsltion with the defendant on the subject, he said the money was a gift of tho old lady to him; and as to th e I 0 U's, they were only pieces of paper, tor they were not stamped. . The LORD Cniar JUSTICE told the jury two I 0 U's were inadmissible, and there was no evidence whether iht) money which 'the witness Stockbridge had spoken of had been lent upon them, or upuu what terms it had been lot. The ether I 0 U's were, however, proved, and their verdict Must ha limited to the sums advanced upon them. - The Jur3r, accordingly, recr_Tded a verdict for the plaintiff fur 2071, - Mr. FORTESCUE applied for- immediate execivion, on the ground that the plaintid' M.S at the point of tleath. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE iaict execution might Libue in four days. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Dec. 10. (Sittings at Nisi Prius at Guildhall, before the Lon]) CHIEF lianozi and a Commen Jury.) DURELL V.

The de fendant pleaded that the plaintiff was making a noise and disturbance in defendant's counting-house. and that defendant zaaulted hire for the purpose of removing 'LAW, uiing no unnecesaary violence.

Ann Ball was indicted for having at Southport, on the 24th of July last, attempted to murder her new born male child, by suffocating it in the sand. Mr. Joseph Pollock and Mr. Sowler prosecuted; the prisoner was undefended. The prisoner had been indicted for murder at the last assizes, but after the evidence of the surgeon had been given, the Learned Judge who tried the case directed an acquittal, and ordered her to be detained in custody, that she might be indicted for an attempt to murder at these assizes. It appeared that on the day in question an old man proceeding across th© sands at Southport, thought he saw the sand move. On going to the place he found that it was caused by a child, who was partially buried in the sand. [having procured the assistance of Mr. Mercer, who lived close by, and fearing that the child would die, they took it to the Roman Catholic priest, Mr. Newsham, and had it baptized by the name of James. On the Saturday following the child grew worse, at♦d eventually died on the Monday morning. The unfortunate woman had been observed by a wit ness to have been in an advanced state of pregnancy for some time previously to the day the child was found, and on making some observation respecting the propriety of providing clothes for it, the prisoner replied, "It will come naked into the world, and it shall go out naked." And she then went away cry ing. Shortly before the child was found, the prisoner was seen by a witness named Berland to come out of a petty with something in her apron, which moved about, and he thought he heard a cry like the cry of a fowl when - it is being killed. Subsequently she was seen to go towards the spot in the sand where the child was discovered. The police, having been informed of the circumstances, went widi Dr. Barron to the prisoner's house, end it was then discovered that the prisoner had been delivered of a child in the course of the day. This, however, she stoutly denied. continuing her work, which was that of brushing the floor, and asked the officer if she looked as if she had been delivered of a child that day; and then walked with him to the lock-up, which was about a mile and a half off. She, however, after wards confessed at the station that she had been con fined, and that the child was born alive. A post mor. tern examination was made, and it was discovered that the child had died from inanition and exposure in the sand. The prisoner, on being called on far her defence, briefly denied that she had said that the child should go out of the world naked as it had entered. The Foreman of the jury said that he was at South port at the time, and he had heard that the prisoner was insane. His LORDSHIP—We have nothing to do with that. We have no evidence about it. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty. His LORDSHIP, in passing sentence, said that the crime of which the prisoner had been convicted was so near murder, that it was difficult to say that she did not com mit that crime; he supposed she was acquitted of mur der because it could not he distinctly made out of what the child died. That it was her intention to kill the child no man could doubt, and to bury it alive in the sand was the most barbarous mode of putting it to death. The c inie was one of the worst that could be commiLe 1, and the duty of the Court would not be discharged without sentencing the prisoner to be transported for the term of ber natural life. Samuel Healey was charged with the manslaughter of Eliza ClAgg. Mr. Monk and Mr. Kay conducted the prosecution; Mr. Joseph Pollock defended the prisoner. The prisoner was an overlooker in the factory of Mr. Edmund Howard, at his mill, in Mill-street, Rochdale, and the deceased was a girl who worked in a room in the factory of which the prisoner was the overlooker, and had wetrkpd for Mt. Howard nearly four years. In the f_renoon of the 13th -of August last the prisoner went, to the deceased, who was working between the loving-frames, and asked her, how it was - Sat she could not keep her frames regularly going, to which she replied that she kept them as well as she could, and could do no more. The pri soner then told her to go home; she said she would not, but would go and see the manager, Mr. John Pilling. This she did, and he told her to return to her work, an d that he would see the prisoner about it. On her return the prisoner brought another worker to the place where the deceased had worked, and ordered her again to go home . ; this she refused to do, upon which the prisoner took hold of her and pushed her towards the door of the room, where she laid hold of a perpendicular rod of iron, which is attached to the bell at the top of the mill. The prisoner broke her sway from this, and pushed her out through the doorway on to the stair-landing; here she laid hold of the door-handle, from which the pri soner forced her away, and on her letting go her hold the prisoner threw her down a flight of nine steps and then followed after her. Here a souffle appeared to have taken place, and the unfortunate deceased was thrown down another flight of steps, and fell with her head against the wall at the bottom. Several of the workers came up and picked her up, when it was found that she was insensible and unable to stand, or to swallow some water that was offered to her. A surgeon was sent for, who found that she had all the symptoms of concussion of the brain, and had a wound on the back pert of her head. She was then taken home, when she died than same evening at six o'clock. Mr. PoneocK addressed the jury for the prisoner. His LORDSHIP summed up, explaining to the jury the law as regards manslaughter.—Verdict, Guilty. His LORTISHIP, in passing sentence, said that this was another case which showed the danger of placing power in the hands of uneducated people. It was the - prisoner's duty to have exercised his authority mildly, and with Christian charity, towards a fellow-creature, especially when that fellow-creature was a female, He felt bound to protect the unprotected, and therefore he must pass a severe sentence, which was (taking into consideration that the prisoner had been in gaol since August) that he be imprisoeed for nine months. PISI PRILIS COURT.—(Before' Mr. Justice TAL FOTTRD.) William Threlfall, who yesterday pleaded guilty to uttering forged promissory notes, was this morning placed at the bar to reciive sentence. His LORDSHIP, in passing sentence, said—You have pleaded guilty to an indictment charging you with having knowingly uttered a forged bill of exchange for 1,0001., and I thought it my duty to understand all the circumstances of the case before I made up my mind as to the sen!ence which should be pro nounced; and I find teat ycu have been the fabricator of a most extensive scheme of forgery, and that tho vials found in your possession — ai the time of your ap prehension proved that you -were psrty to a most gi gantic scheme of forgery and feaud. It has bean urged, and rightly urged, in your behalf, that 'at the time you committed these forgerie3 you contemplated preventing the effects which would be the natural - result, and that you only sought to obtain a fictitious credit by timing the period when the bills would brcome due in such a manner as would enable you to meet them. I cannot conceive that that circumstance lesions your guilt. You cannot but remember that at an early period of your life numbers suffered capital punishment for the crime which you have committed, and had your case happened in those days your life would have been for feited. I rejoice that the law is altered. Think of the commercial character you have forfeited, and the shock it would prove to the commercial interest if such frauds as these should go undetected, and if .detected should not be severely punished. Your good character will no doubt make your punishment more severe, as a large portion of your life will have to be spent in exile and degredstion. The sentence which it is my painful duty to pass, is that you ba tran=ported for fifteen years. Benjamin Francis Mllnes was indicted for a feaud upon the Excise. 'Mr. Sergeant Wilkin9, Mr. Outer, and Mr. T. Atkin son, conducted the prosecution"; the defendant conducted his defence in person. It appeared from the opening of the Learned Ser geant, and from the evidence, that the prisoner bray an „ Excise officer at Bel:on, having a salary cf 1001. a year. His duties wore deafly defined both by the several Acts of Parliament relating to the Excise and by the orders which were from time to time issued by the Commis sioner. It was th. ptisoner's duty to receive applica tions for licenses from the different traders, and to fur nish each applicant with a notice, which gave them all the necessary instructions, and which also informed them that eli payments of money were to be made to the collector, and not to the prisoner, who was only what was termed a ride cilicer in the district. As soon as; an applicatioulvas made, Ile pritouet'a duty was to get un LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 11, 1850. a master mariner in command of a vessel of which defendant was owner. The plaintiff having been discharged by the defendant a dispute arose as to some property which the plaintiff had left on board the vessel. The defendant required the plaintiff to give a bill of exchange before he would give up this property, but having obtained the bill he failed to fulfil his promise. Oa tha Ist May, 1847, the plain tiff called on the defendant at his counting-house, at Botolph-wharf, in company with Mr. John Ward, clerk to a shipbroker. The counting house is at the top of some very steep stairs. The plaintiff demanded of the defendant his watch, chain, and ring.- The defendant said, " Will you walk out of my office?" The plaintiff retreated on to the staircase, but the defendant seiz.d him by the shoulder, and kicked him in the groin. The plaintiff fell some steps down the stairs on to Ward. Mr. Burchell, a surgeon, who was called iu soon hEer the assault, found the plaintiff suffering from hernia, which appeared to have been recently caused. It might have been occasioned by a kick, such as that stated to have been inflicted on the plaintiff. It would render the plaintiff not an able-bodied seaman for life. Mr. Gray, surgeon to the Royal Free Hospital, con firmed the evidence of Mr. Burchell. The plaintiff's attorney, Mr.lC. Brown, accounted for the delay which had taken place in the action, by say ing that a cross-action was pending against the plaintiff on the bill of exchange improperly obtained from him by the defendant; until that was terminated, he thought it better to suspend the present action. The plaintiff was now residing in Jersey. Mrs. Pungatt, the person with whom the plaintiff had lodged for some years before 1847, had never known him complain of rupture until after the assault. Mr. CHAMBERS contended that there was no proof that the rupture had been caused by the defendant, and that the account of the transaction given by Mr. Ward was inconsistent with the admission on the pleadings, that the plaintiff was making a disturbance in defendant's counting-house. The LORD CHIEF BARON summed up to the effect that the plaintiff was at liberty to plead in this manner, and say " if I was liable to be remolei from your counting house, you had no right t , ) kick me down stairs." If the jury believed that the defendant, by his assault, had cc casioned the hernia, it could scarcely be doubted that unnecessary violence had been used.) The jury immediately returned a verdict for the plain tiff, damages 1501. account from the upplicant of the premise's in which he carried on his business, which rho prisoner ought then to copy into his entry- book, and sign his name to the entry, with which he was to compare the premises when he went his rounds, in doing which he had to make minutes of the facts in a journal and survey-hook supplied to him for that purpose. Having made his rounds he bud to make out a pay-list, containing the amount of duty to be paid, and the particulars of the traders' names and busi- Lenses. Then he had to' make out a license-list, which, with the pay-list, he ought to hand to the supervisor, who had to check them with the defendant's books, and then forward them to the collector, who had to fill up the licenses, which licenses were graet-d by the super visor and collector, who held eight sittings annually at the Swan, Bolton, that purpose, at which the defen dant, as ride officer, had to attend. These being the prisoner's duties, in the year 1848, when he 11E13 ride officer, a grocer named Adam Morris, who was a tea and tobacco dealer at Bolton, applied fora license in May in that year, and on doing so never received any papers from the prisoner, but paid him 4s. 24d. fur the first quarter. When the prisoner received it he said he would call in July and tell Morris how ho was to go on for the next year. The prisoner did not call until August, when Morris said that he could not pay the year's duty then, but would shortly ; to which the prisoner answered that it did not matter, as it was laid already. In a day, or two, however; Morris paid him 16s. 90. the amount of the year's license, and in July, 1849, he paid the same amount for the ensuing year, never receiving any paper; but on the 10th of July, 1850, on the prisoner calling earlier than usual, Morris, thieking that there was something wrong, refused to pay, and then found, on applying at the Excise-office, that he ought to have received pay papers, and to have paid the collector, and not the prisoner. lig license had ever been received by Morris, and the mc:EZys paid by him had never been entered in any of the books, or ae• counted for in any way by the prisoner. Four other cases were then gone into by the prosecu tion, all of a simil3r character. The prisoner then addressed the jury at very consider able length, and with great ingenuity, ability, and fluency. He urged upon the jury that his - character as temperance lecturer and a member of the Church, and his position in society, rendered it unlikely that he should defraud to such petty amounts. That the whole bad been the result of mistak', and that he had received the moneys from those who lived in remote districts in a friendly manner, which was the general practice in the Excise, aLd that from the numbers of licenses he had to attend to, the small sum; which the prosecution had se lf cted had been overlooked by him amergst so great a number. Mr. Sergeant WILKINS replied at some length. His LORDSHIP having, summed up, The jury, alter retiring for an Lour, returned a verdict of Guilty. His LORDSHIP, addressing the prisoner, in passing sentence, said—You, an officer in her Majesty's Excise, and bearing a good character, have foully abused the trust which was reposed in you, and, under the cloak of your character and position, have been found by the jury, who have carefully considered the case, guilty of Laving gross!) , violated your duty to God and man. You played a most evil and w icked part to the small shop keepers, who are amongst the most respectable and vir tuous of our fellow-countrymen, by exposing them month i.fcer month, and in one instance year after year, to the ruin which would inevitably fall upon them should they have been forced to pay the penalty which your artifice had exposed them to. Your character and your in tellectual accomplishments will add additional severity to the sentence I am about to pronounce, which is,,that you be transported beyond the seas for the term of seven years. PO LICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Mr. Bingham gave judgmett in the case of Wiliam St. Clair, joutueynian glaien charged with having at tempted by menaces and intimidation, to make the con• tractors for the works of the Hyde-park Exhibition of 1851, Messrs. Fox and Henderson, change their mode of carrying on their business. Mr. BINGHAM said the defendant is charged under the Statute 6 Geo. IV., c. 129, sec. 3, with having endea voured by threats, intimidation, or molestation, to force a person carrying on business, to make an alteration in his mode of conducting such business. It has been ob jected on his behalf—first, that under the statute 6 Geo. IV., the hearing is appointed to be by two justices, and that the enactment in 2 and 3 Victoria, giving a single police magistrate the same power as two ordinary magis trates, has been repealed by 11 and 12 Victoria, c. 43, sec. 33, which in proceedings under statutes, requires for the hearing the same number of justices as is ap pointed by the statute under which the particular ease proceeds. But there is a proviso at the teed of that same section, which, without restriction or qualifica tion, confirms and re-enacts the powers given by 2 and 3 Victoria to metropolitan police magistrates; the statute itself being passed to regulate the proceedings of ordinary justices all over England. Secondly, that the statute 6 Geo. IV. applies only to the case where an attempt is made by intimidation to force a single person to alter his mode of conducting his business, and not to a ease like the present, where the prosecutor swears the attempt has been made towards him and his partner. If that were the true construesion, tho statute would leave without protection the numerous class of persons who carry on business in partnership. But the obvious answer to the objection is, that an attempt to force two persons, is also an attempt to force each one of teem. And, if the deendsnt's objection were well founded, ho would have committed tao offences, and be liable to two terms of imprisonment in succession. Thirdly, it has been contended that the defendant was illegally apprehended, that words spoken by him, after such apprehension, were spoken under duresse, that papers taken from him were illegally detained, and that, therefore, neither such words nor such papers were ad missible in evidence. Without going further into this objection, the first answer is that the defendant was le gally given into custody for a breach of the peace, com mitted in the presence and hearing of thepolice-constable, and that neither threat nor promise was used when he spoke the words, the admissibility of which is now objected to. I proceed, therefore, to the charge. It has been proved that on Friday evening, the 22d November, a body of nearly 50 glaziers quitted the employment of Messrs. Fox and Co., the contractors for the building in Hyde-park. That on Monday morning Mr. Fox re ceived a letter from the defendant, in which, after cha racterising the communication as strictly private, he proceeds—"l wish to mediate, successfully if I can, be tween you and your men; if I am successful I shall be happy, and the matter shall rest where it is, if not, you must sustain the consequences." He then goes on— " This is to inform you that unless you consult me as to the proposal of your manager, Mr. Cochrane, to the gin ziers, and come to a fair and honourable arrangement with the glaziers in your employment, that they not only shall be enabled to earn a ' fair day's wages for a fain day's work, but put such work in as shall hear inspection, and satisfy all, the following advertisement shall appear in the London papers of to-morrow morn ing:—' I, William St. Clair, pronounce that the build ing in Hyde park is being botched by a system of sub-contracting; that it will, therefore, be worth •less and unsafe, and that the nation will be dis graced unless this matter is looked into.' Now, this is not intended as a vulgar threatening, to intimi date you, but the candid advice of one of your workmen, who has the honour to be a gentleman, as well as a gla zier." The glaziers who had quitted the works on Fri day evening, the 22d November, having been requested to attend the Monday af te rnoon, to receive scom the defendant, accompanied by nearly fifty of them, desired 0 speak with Mr. Fox. carrearscf pay, following Mr. Fox having inquired and ascertained of the defend ant, th a t his name was St. Clair, refused to have any communication him, whereupon the def e nd a nt, cie Mr. Fox swears, extending his arm and ic a man who speaks emphati cally, as the witnesses for the defendant swear, said, " Then you will (or, you may) repent this." On behalf of the defendant, it has be:as contended on the merits, that the letter addressed to Mr. Fox, including the pro posed advertisement, is merely a piece of friendly advice, mediation, or criticism; that it contains nothing in the way of threat, intimidation, or molestation, and that there is nothing menacing in the circumstance of a person, accompanied by fifty dissatisfied men, saving, with outstretched arm, to one who had refined commu nication with him, then you may repent it. The bare state ment of these propositions is almost of itallan answer to them, for it seems to be trifling with language to say that there is no threat or intimidation in a nnounc i ng to a s builder that, unless he consults an interested a d v i ser on theu jeC in ofhisown propose's, a n d comes to an ar rangementt which, the opinion of that adviser, is fair and honourable, he shall be exposed in the newspapers as the constructor of a botchetleup, unsafe, and disgrace ful edifice. Nor, with rt. sorct to weat passed at the in terview with the prosecutor, does it seem to me et all material whether the fist was presented, or only the arm outstretched and open hand. or whether the worth med were, You shall repent, or, You may repent of this. The gesture and language obviously had reference to the letter which had been received in the morning, and the repentance which it was intimated the prosecutor might come to feel a Ile to be occasioned by the loss of cha racter and property which might reasonably he ex pected to foll ow th e th re atened exposure' in the news papers. I a m c l ear ly of opinion, theref ore , t h at the defendant h as , in the language of the statute, en deavoured to force the prosecutor, by threats, intimidation, and molestation, to make an altera tion in the mode of conducting his business; that the offence was complete in the letter which the prosecutor received, and c on fi rme d and repeated in what pas se d at the subsegaerit interview. To put any other construc tion on the defendant's proceeding would render a d ea d letter a watuto which% has been a great adv a nt age to workmen as well us employers. It is to be regretted that the defendant has overlooked the fact that this statute has abolished all the restraints to which work men were formerly subject; and, short of intimidation or violence towards man or master, has given them the utcontrollr d arrangement of their seen affairs. It i s t o be regretted that they have overlooked the fact that no instance can be found of any attempt to regulate the rate of wages by violence or intimidation, that has not proved, in a short time, disastrous to the workman. But it is still more: to be re ,netted thatthe interval betwee the summons and hearing which gives the defendant an opportunity:to reconsider the course he had taken, did not enable him to see it in its true light, and to express his coctrition at having, from want of reflection, been led into a proceeding; of which it is not too much to say, that it is to the full as dishonest as it is unlawful. The judgment of the Court is, that under the 6 Geo. 4, for the offence dc ,r aodant be imprisoned for two months, without herd labour. Mr. Rippon, with the view as was understood, of ap pealing against - this decision, required to be furnished with a copy of the jadgment and conviction. way net aware that the law obliged him t : to give more than a minute of the conviction. Mr. Rippon begged to remind the Court that the fifty men who had accompanied the defendant, had been sent for by the foreman of the works. Mr. BINGHAM said he had stated that circumstance distinctly in his judgment. lie -considered, however, that whatever m'ght be the nature of the request the deft udant had to make to Mr. Fox, it ought not to have been made at a time when he was accompanied by a body of fifty persons.

William Bear, a well•dressed young man, who was evidently suffering from his overnight's debauch, was brought up charged with being intoxicated and disturb ing the audience at the Surrey Theatre. The constable who attends the above theatre stated that on the preceding night, during the perfo7mance, the defendant stationed himself in the front row of the gal lery, and taking advantage of the momentary absence of the players from the stage between the acts, commenced an harangue against the Popish aggression, and at the conclusion called upon the audience to join him in " God save the Queen." No sooner had he announced the National Anthem than those by whom be Was sur rounded joined in the chorus, and he became very ex cited, swaying his body backwards and forwards, to the imminent risk of pitching headlong from an elevated po sition into the pit. Finding the defendant to be very much intoxicated, and evincing a determination to re peat the annoyance, he with assistance got him out of the theatre, and for safety, as he had some property about him, gave him into custody. In reply to Mr. A'I3ECEETT, the defendant said that be regretted what had taken place in the theatre, owing to his being under the influence of liquor, and that he had no recollection of having addressed the audience on the subject of Pepery. He added that he should take care and not let it occur again. The MAGISTRATE said the defendant acted very foolishly in disturbing the audience in the manner de scribed; and that he should adjuige him to pay ss. for being drunk, besides entering into his recognizances to keep the peace. LAMBETH. When Mr. Elliott was about to leave the bench, Mr. John Frazer, the proprietor of the National Bat'es the Westminster•road, accompanied by his wife and two friends, entered the court and requested that bail might be taken for himself and his wile to appear at the next session to be holden for the county of Surrey, to answer to an indictment for a misdemeanour. From the statement of one of the friends of Mr. Frazer, it appeared that for some time past efforts had teen made by two men named Rawlins and Jacobs, and an attorney's clerk named How (the latter of whom has become notorious from his volunteering his evidence in the case of the miscreant Rush), to obtain money from Mr. Frazer, by charging him with permitting music and dancing at the baths without a licence. They in the first place threatened to proceed by qui tarn actions to recover penalties of 1001. for each offence. In the next they modestly offered to accept 501. as a compromise of the whole case, and finding their terms not acceded to, they preferred a bill of indictment before the grand jury assembled at the Session-house, Newington•cause way, last week, for a misdemeanour. The grand jury returned true bills against Mr. Frez_r and his wife, and the object of the parties in coming before the magis trates was to prevent their being locked up, which they would have been had the parties prosecuting been af forded time to take out a judge's warrant. Mr. ELLIOTT at once accepted two sureties in 801. each, and by this means the liberty of the parties will not only be protected, but they will be saved mnch'petty annoyance which the prosecutors, if so disposed, could put them to. DARING BURGLARY NEAR GRAVESEND. At the county magistrates' office, Rochester, on Friday, present the Rev. G. Davies, and a full bench of magistrates, Reuben Parker, alias Hampstead Fred, was brought up by Everist, superintendent of the constabulary, charged with having, on the Ist of June, 1849, feloniously and burglariously entered the dwelling-house of Augustus Munyard, at Milliker Farm, Meapharn, near Gravesend, and stealing two watches, several rings, wearing apparel, and other articie, valued at 801., and at the same time with feloniously striking and beating Mr. Munyard. Mr. Munyard proved that between eleven and twelve o'clock on the night in question he was aroused by the smashing of his bedroom window, through which, by means of a ladder, four or more men entered his room, each carrying a lighted can dle. They had caps or stockings drawn over their faces, with holes cut through for eyes, white frocks or shirts over the upper part of their bodies, and each armed with a bludgeon about two feet long. He was alone at the time, Mrs. Munyard having just left the room with the candle to go to one of the children, who was ill. One of the burglars had a little jemmy or crow• bar, with which he struck him over the head. He bad never recovered any of the stolen pro perty. One of the party was about the prisoner's height, and strongly built, but he would not swear to him. The men in the room called out to one on the ladder, " Look out, Turpin ; and if anybody comes blow their brains out or do for them." Several other witnesses were examined, connecting the prisoner with the burglary and the evidence of John Pryer, one of the burglars, who bad been ad mitted as Queen's evidence, fully proved his guilt. The prisoner, who it appears was closely connected with the burglars of Holford-house, 3ikgent's-park, declined putting any questions to the witnesses, saying he was an innocent man. From his determined chat meter, and having threatened the constable, he was heavily ironed, his hand being chained to his leg, and in that manner was conveyed to the county gaol for trial at the next assizes.
