•vt:ittb• '.'-‘2tittion SUN OFFICE, Seven o'Clock. VICE-CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Vice-Chancellor KNIGHT BRUCE.) NO ARREARS IN THE COURT OF CHANCERY. BROGDEN V. SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. This case eanie before his Honour Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce upon exceptions to the report of Master Dowdeswell, who had found, upon a reference to him by Vice-Chancellor Wigram, that the portion of the North Kent line, for which Mr. Brogden was contractor, was in a state fit for public traffic at twelve o'clock at noon, on Saturday, the 21st July, 1849. Should the finding of the laster be sustained, the company will have to pay Mr. Brogden 5 0001. tor expedition money. Mr. Malins and Mr. Bailey appeared in support of the exceptions on behalf of the South-Eastern Railway Company; the Attorney-General, Mr. Page Wood, and Mr. Lewis, appeared for the plaintiff, in support of the Master's finding. In th. course of the opening of the exceptions, The VicE.CHANCELLOR said—Mr. Attorney-General, I b-lieve that althuugh this is Friday, and we are taking exceptions and farther directions, under the new arrange ment, yet lam hearing this in due course; and that in point of fact without that arrangement this case would now be in hearing. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—Yes, Sir. The VICE-CHANCELLOR—I see this is an exception to a report, which report was not made until the 4th of June in last year. How can there be any arrears? If this exception to a report made on the 4th of June, 1850, is coming on now in its dee course, there can be no arrears. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL —They may have arisen since. The VICS-CHANCELLOR—They are not arrears. A numb'r of c ises and the exi3tence of arrears is a totally different thing. At present there is no arrear. The Arraurtzt-GENERAL—It is rather an apprehen• s i on that there w ill b... The VICE •CHANCELLOIt—There is at present cer tsinly &mar. (The arguments were proceeding when our report left.) COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings; in Banco.) • DOE DEN, BAINBRIDGE V. BAINBRIDGE. This important wilt case came on for argument. The issue is dirottql by the Master of the Rolls fur an action brought to set aside a will made in 1818 by the late Thomas Bainbrigge, Esq., of Woodseat, Stsffordshire, on the ground of insanity. The plaintiffs are Major-Ge neral Bainbrigge and the other nephews of the testator, and the detendant is John Arnold Bainbrigge, who claims under the will. The trial took place at the last Stafford assizes. and occupied five - days. The verdict was for the plaintiff. The facts of the case have been frequently published. Mr. Keating in the course of last term obtained a rule nisi calling upon the plaintiff to show cause why a new trial should not be granted. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL now appeared to show Cause. . . The reading of the judge's notes occupied the whole thy, and the Learned Counsel had not commenced his argument when the Court rose. BANK OF ENGLAND. (From this night's Gazette.)

CORONZE—The surgeon's evidence settles the ques tion. It was my opinion, upon looking at the body, and after hearing a portion of the evidence, that deceased died of poison, which opinion was strengthened by certain reports spread regarding the house in which deceased died. But lam now satisfied that she died from natural causes, and that she met with no foul play. The jury fully concurred with the coroner, and re turned a verdict of Natural Death. RETURN OF THE ATLANTIC STEAMER. (From the Liverpool Mercury.) We regret to state that the United States mail steam-ship Atlantic, Captain West, met with an accident during the heavy gales which she encoun:. tered on her outward passage, which necessitated her return to Cork. Most of our readers will be aware that the Atlantic left Liverpool on the 28th ult., at 4 P.M. She proceeded against unusu ally heavy westerly gales until the 6th of January 5 the ship behaving admirably, and the engines appear ing to be in fair order. At 630 of the 6th inst., the engines were stopped, and it was found that the centre beam or shaft was broken. This oc curred in lat. 46.12, long. ; 41.30. Captain West continued to proceed to the westward against heavy westerly gales till the 11th January 11 P.M., in tending to run for Halifax, but finding the gale in creasing, and the ship making but little head-way, after ascertaining the wishes of the passengers, he determined to put the ship about, and run for Cork, which port was made on Wednesday last, at eight, P.M. The vessel is in good order, and the steward's department amply supplied. The news reached Liverpool last night, by the en gineer and purser of the vessel, who, with some of the passengers, crossed from Dublin to Holyhead yes terday morning. As no steamer will leave Liver pool for America before to-morrow week, the intelli gence of the safety of the Atlantic, and all those on board, will not reach New York until a month after her expected arrival, when probably all hopes as to her safety will have disappeared. We were favoured, by one of the passengers, with a copy of the following resolutions : Off Cork, Jan. 22, 1851. At a meeting of the passengers on board the U. S. mail steamer Atlantic, James S. Wadsworth, Esq., of New York, being called to the chair, and J. H. Potten ger, of Maryland, appointed secretary, Henry Benja min, of New York, C. B. Reece, of Pa., and Law rence, of Mass, were appointed a committee to draft resolutions expressive of the sense of the meeting, in view of the circumstancces which have compelled the vessel to return. "Resolved—That we feel it due to Captain James West to acknowledge our gratitude to him for his un wearied care and devotion to his duty under circum stances of great responsibility (he having been deprived, in a great measure, of the valuable and efficient services of his first officer, Mr. Shufeldt, by temporary illness), in taking the ship into port, as well as fur the great at tention and courtesy with which he laboured to promote the happiness and comfort of those under his charge. " Resolved—That we feel it likewise due to the pro prietors of the ship to bear testimony to the great strength and power with which she contended for nine days against an almost uninterrupted westerly gale of great severity, as well as to the admirable conduct of the vessel under sails, when suddenly deprived of her motive power, by the breaking of the main shaft, having then made 1,800 miles on her western voyage. " Resolved—That it was the unanimous request of the passengers that the ship should seek an easterly port. as it was tound, after a trial of five days, that, en cumbered as she was with disabled machinery, abe could not contend against the westerly winds which then pre vailed." — "Resolved—That it is also due to Mr. Rogers, the chief engineer, and his intelligent corps of assistants, that we should bear testimony to the ability and fidelity with which they discharged their arduous duties, as well previous to the accident as in their subsequent efforts to repair the machinery." These resolutions are signed by the whale of the pas sengers. COURSE OF EXCH Amiterana, 11 16.

The Allgemeine Zeitung states that the Austrian Ultramone party is preparing considerable difficulties for Prince Schwarzenberg, by its zeal for an ob ject which the Christian world of Western Europe has for centuries abandoned the recovery of Jerusalem and the Holy Sepulchre from the hands of the Mahometans. The purpose of the crusades is to be revived ; but it is to be pursued by the way of diplomacy, not by war. It is stated that the Catholic Powers, with the connivance of Austria, intend to obtain possession (it is not precisely defined how) of all the sacred spots of the Holy Land, which will be then made over to the Catholic Church. The order of the Holy Sepulchre will be raised to:the import ance once possessed by the Knights Tempters. The Pope is to be the Grand Master, and one Prince of every Catholic state of Europe is to be created Grand Prior. The movement, as far as it can be called one, is probably caused by the increasing influence of the Greek Church in the East, under the support of Russia. That Church, too, has made thec possession of the Holy Sepulchre a special ot;ject of its ambition, as well as other localities in Syria, sacred by their associations. During the two past years, while th- political power of the Papal Government was prostrated, the efforts of the mission aries and agents of the Greek Church are said to have made great progress, and are gradually sapping the influence of the Latin Church. The feuds between the two churches have long been of the most bitter kind, _ and in Jerusalem, it is well known, have grown to I scandalous excess; a guard of Turkish soldiers alone keeps peace between them on certain festivals in the Church of the Sepulchre. The Germans state that the Greek Christians have really obtained the preponde rating influence in Jerusalem, and that any efforts of 'the Austrian ultra-Catholics to recover the lost ground will be met by the decided opposition of the Kmperor of Russia, practically the Pope of the Greek Church. Prince Schwarzenberg is not over-zealous in the cause of the Austrian Pietists, and will pro bably, suppress the whole plan as soon as it becomes politically inconvenient. AN INFAMOUS CASE. Yesterday Mr. H. M. Wakley held an inquest at the Goat and Compasses, New-road, St. Pancras, on Julia Cooper, alias Jane Lochlaw, aged 19. The inquiry, fur reasons developed by the subjoined evidence, excited deep and unusual interest in the neighbourhood. The jury viewed the body at 67, Fitzroy-street, Fitzroy square. Sophia Dudley, who described herself as a widow. and the mistress of 67, Fitzroy -street, deposed that for the last ten years she occupied that house, and that three weeks ago she fetched deceased, whom she then knew for the first time. from Brighton. The occupants of her house were " ladies." Deceased told her that her name was Julia Cooper, but since her death witness heard that her name was Lochlaw. Witness fetched her from Brighton to make night-gowns and shifts, and to be a kind of companion. She died at ten o'clock on Sunday morning, in the presence of Mary Rutledge and several other females. Mr. Jones, sur 10°1', was also present at her death. Deceased suffered from a severe cold for the previous two weeks. A few hours before her death deceased complained of violent pains in her stomach and chest, for which witness ad ministered brandy and every remedy that suggested it self, but she had no idea deceased was dying. When she was called to breakfast on Sunday she complained of ill ness, fur which she got such remedies as she required, and witness persuaded her to go to bed again, which she did, and died at the hour mentioned. Deceased had no acquaintance in London, nor did any one visit her during the three we ke she was in witness's house. Witness understood the deceased had a father some where in Scotland; and on toe morning of her decease e -lt i n l emi was informed that she had a friend in Chelsea -°all's whom witness acquainted with her death. „,,,,--;:dlls,i'it,"2 sins and a fashionably dressed female, a splenaid watch, satnated that alio and diepla)ing unmarried lati -- lodged in Mrs. Dudley's house, and was Same house, witnessY Although deceased lived in the latter seldom leftd a cold for herldeta spoke to deceased, as the the three weeks she waa:alnrat.he Dh'neuesries.edS'sh: complained of pains in her side breath.

(W illiam Cubitt, Esq., President, in the Chair.) On Tuesday, the discussion on Mr. Digby Wyatt's naper, " On the Construction of . the Building for the Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations, in 1851," was continued throughout the meeting. On the one side it was contended, that the present building was not in accordance with the conditions pub lished by the Royal Commissioners;—that from its f o rm, the wind would have a most injurious effect on it, and therefore, that instead of testing each girder singly, as had been done, the whole roof should have been subjected 'o the same ordeal as Turner's roof over the Railway Station at Liverpol, which had been proved by su.pend ing weights at intervals, on the presumed necessity for its bearing a strain of wind eqaal to fifty pounds per Square foot. This test of pro. f had been suggested by Mr. Locke and Mr. Fox, and therefore it could not be objected to now. The snugs, fur receiving the ends of the girders, were considered as being too weak, and liable to fracture. The foundation of concrete under each column was considered insufficient, and not in ac cdrdarce with the original design, as set forth in the Illustrated London News, of July tith, 1850, where a proper kind of foundation was stated to be provided. The columns of such slender dimensions as eight inches diameter, and varying from one inch and an eighth down to half an inch in thickness, and e„ch composed of seven part s , mast be unstable when carried to such heights as sixty-four feet. The girders of the galleries, when under the action of the multitudfs of persons till in one direction, would acquire an undulating motion, which would fracture them. Ike glass of the roof being only of the weight of six teen ounces per square foot, or about one-eighth of an inch in thickness, was quite inad. quate to resist hail- Aortns, or even the weight of a fall of snow, and that great, leakage must be expected from this and several other c,uses. The condensed vapour from the under side or the iron beams would also drop on the goods ex 1114:Jied, to their bet it, us injury. 'lle quantity of tituUer employed, and the sykcera open flooring, recdering the building peculiarly hatee to !catch fire; and on these grounds it was asserted to be wanting in the stability and the sicurity requisite for a receptacle for the valuables which would be transmitted for exhibition. It had been stated by the Royal Com missioners that a building would be provided, free of rent and fire-proof: the latter condition was certainly not fulfilled, and if the building remained uninsured, each exhibitor would be under the necessity of pro viding for the safety of his own goods, and thus be sub jected to a greater expense than the ordinary rent of a really fire proof building. Ou the other side, it was admitted that, up to the pre sent time, the building was not insured against fire. It was, however, contended, that an examination in detail of all the parts of the structure demonstrated the fel fecy of the objtctions which had been made. Every part Lad been attentively considered, and had been sub jected to care!ul and minute experiment. The concrete foundation had been tested to the extent of seven tuns per square foot without crushing, whilst the greatest weight that could be brought upon each E quate foot el foundation was only two and a half tons; this was sup posing the building to be crowded with visitors, and the roof covered with a depth of two feet of snow. The columns had also been submitted to similar expe riments; their thickness varied from half an inch to one inch and an eighth, according to the duty they had to le-riurtn, and the position they occupied in the building. It had been calculated, that the greatest weight which could possibly be brought upon the strongest column was sixty tons, whilst its breaking weight exceeded three hundred tuns. ••• • v The glass was considered to be sufficiently strong, as its thickness and quality were similar to that used in the large conservatory at Chatsworth, of which not a pane had been broken by any hailstorm that bad occurred since its erection, twelie years ago. The canvas em ployed outside would nut only temper the rays of the sun, and aid in ventilation, but would also assist in pre venting fracture of the glass, and in consequence of the canvas itself being fixed to each ridge in narrow strips, if any portion did catch fire, only that piece would be burned. It was further stated, that on the present de sign being accepted, an offer had been received for its construction from the person who now most violently attacked the original design and its actual construction. It was announced from the Chair that the discussion on Mr. Wyatt's paper Oa the Construction of the Building fur the Exhibition of the Works of Industry of all Na,,ions, in 1851," would be resumed at the next meeting, Tuesday, J,,nuary 28,h. At the monthly ballot the following candidates were duly elected:—Messrs. R. Jobsoc, J. F. Miller, E. Mox ham, H. Pouley, W. Weaver, and C. F. F. Wordsworth, Captain M`Kerlie, ILE., and Major J. C. Plowden, as Associates. SIIICIDE.—Mr. Carter stated, at an inquest held by him at Camberwell, that he had just held an inquiry on the body of a young woman who destroyed herself by jumping, from Waterloo- bridge, the facts of which he had not seen published. The name of the young woman was Sophia Julia Wiley, about 20 years of age, and, it was said, had been very respectably brought up, but had recently been out at service. About four months ago her master and mistress left town, and she had their authority to draw upon one of the clerks for her wages and any expenses which she might be at for the household. She overdrew to the amount of a few shillings, and this led to extraordinary excitement, and ultimately to her death. She went to her brother-in-law's, who is a tutor, and declared she would not go back to her mistress, but declined to state the reason • she was, however, prevailed on to return ; but again left, and was found living in Red Lion-square. Her brother-in-law took her to his home. She had written to him to say she had done wrong, and was determined to destroy herself. On Monday week she went out in great excitement, her brother calling on her to come back, but she would not, and the same night her bonnet was found on Waterloo-bridge, and her body near it in the river on Friday last. The jury returned a verdict, " That the deceased destroyed herself while in a state of temporary insanity." FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 24 1 1851.

Dr. Bateman, solicitor to the Board, and Mr. D uelly, of the Inland Revenue department, were also in attendance. The case has excited cousideraqle inte rest in consequence of the defence of an alibi being set up by the defendant, in answer to the charge. Mr. CLARKSON, in opening the case for the prose cution, said that he was instructed to appear at the suit of the Commissioners of Inland Revenue, by whom the proceedings had been instituted, for an assault by the defendant, John Goldsmid, a member of the Stock Exchange, and connected with a highly respectable family residing in Mecklenburgh-square, on the person of George Treveman, an officer of Ex cise, on the sth of October last. If the evidence that be should lay before them should satisfy the jury, he hod no doubt they would be of opinion that an offenee committed on an officer whilst in the discharge of his duty by a person moving in the sphere of life that the defendant did, was most inexcusable, and, if proved, should be visited with a severe punishment. The Learned Counsel then detailed the facts of the case as proved in evidence. The defendant, he said, was represented by his Learned Friend Mr. Bod kin ; but still he thought it would require more than ordinary ingenuity to rescue him from the present charge. He believed that it would be at tempted to screen him from the consequence of the act named in the information by throwing the onus upon some other person whose whereabouts was no where to be found. A summons was obtained and served at a house in question on the defendant, but the observation that was made when that sum mons was delivered be was not at liberty to give, though his Learned Friend might do so if he should think proper. On the part of the Commissioners of Inland Revenue he might say that they had no other feeling in the matter but to obtain justice against the defendant, should it be proved, of which he had no doubt whatever, that he was the person who com- mitted the assault. Evidence was then given to show that the prose cutor was assaulted by the defend at a public-house in the Haymarket, on the sth of October last. The defence set up was, that at the time named the defendant was at Brighton with his friends ; but, upon the cross•examination of the witnesses, the ir testimony was considerably shaken on certain material points. Mr. CLARKSON then replied, and inveighed in very severe terms on the character of the evidence that had been brought forward on the part of the defence, which he characterised as utterly unwort h y of credit. The Learned JUDGE summed up the evidence with great care, and pointed out the beari n g s of it as ha proceeded. The jury instantly returned a verdict of Guilty. Mr. PARRY said he was instructed, on thy part of the Commissioner* of Inland Revenue, in consequence of their having omitted to insert a c ount in the in dictment for interrupting the o ffi cer in the execution of his duty, to ask for the highest punishment for the assault. The Learned JUDGE said that this was really the most painful case he had ever heard, and commented with the greatest severity on the wretched evidence that had been brought forward on the part of the de fendant. lie could not think that the witness Win der was a man who ought to have control of a re spectable house, encouraging as he did persons to acts of dissipation. He perfectly agreed with the verdict of the jury, and the sentence of the Court was, that the defendant be imprisoned in the House of Cor rection, Coldhath-fields, for three calendar months. The defendant was then removed in custody, and in a few minutes afterwards was conveyed to prison. The trial occupied nearly seven hours. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. A middle-aged, respectabli:dressed man, named Theophilus Smith, was brought up before Alderman Hunter and Sheriff Carden, charged with obtaining two pair of gold hand-spectacles, value about 61., from Messrs. Horne, Thorntbwaite, and Co., opticians, of 123, Newgate-street, under fraudulent pretences. Police-constable 498 said, he searched the prisoner at the station, and found on him a great varietyof arti cles. (We give the list in full as it may probably tend to induce others to come forward to prefer charges against the prisoner, as there is every reason to believe that he has been carrying on a systematic course of swindling for some considerable time among persons in the above line.) The following articles were then banded up to the magistrates :-1 velvet pocketbook, containing a variety of papers and me moranda, 2 other pocketbooks, 1 metallic memoran dum-book, 2 French purses, one containing ten pounds in gold and about seven shillings in small silver, a list of various articles of plate, a gold watch with no maker's name, a bunch of 16 small keys, and a safe-key, some opticians' catalogues, two new office penknives, a gentleman's pocket compen dium, with the name of " Pepys, 22, Poultry," inside 'as the maker, one pair of ste el-ribbed s p ectacl es , with the name of " William Y o u le, optician, 83, Leaden hall-street," on the case. In one of the pocket-books there was about 2s. 6d. in postage-stamps, four cards with the name of "Mr. W. Baker, surgeon," a letter addressed " Dr. Baker, ship Soubandar, Deal Har bour," a letter addressed " Captain Umfreville, ship Soubandar, Deal Harbour," a shaving-box, and some tobacco, a receipt for 101. 10s. for rent of 33, Cam , bridge-street, fit. George's, Hanover-square; also a receipt for taxes of the same house, both amounts received of a Mr. Green ; and the namts and ad dresses of " Mr. T. M. Sheiley," "Mr. it. H v, of BeEchynden-terrace, South , ..aopton," "Mr. A. Key," anti "Mr. Ingram, of Ebury-streel, Remara:d till Tu4,..(say or furtilti• iave,tigation. William Daniel Pqe, rier at the Pak:- dington district post-effice, was charged with steatiog a letter containing two half- sovereigns, and two four penny -pieces. The letter had been made up, with two others, and addressed to Mr. Snewing, of 3, Althorp-place, Re gent's-park, with the view of testing the honesty of the servants, a great many letters having been re cently lost by the inhabitants of the district, and es pecially by Mr. Snewing. The letters were posted at St. Martin's-le-Grand, in the usual way, but the cash-letter in question was not delivered. Inquiries were then made at the sorting-office of the Paddington receiv ing -house, and nine of the letter-carriers and sub sorters were ►earthed, without avail. Eventually the prisoner, who arrived late, underwent the same ordeal, and the letter and its couttnts were found secreted under the lining of his hat. The prisoner said he bad placed the letter there for safety, without any guilty intention, and meaning ultimately to deliver it. Mr. HALL committed him for trial. W 0 if SHIP-Si REET. Francis Morgan, an athletic, determined-looking fellow of notorious character, was charged with the following robbery upon a lady named Fruber, residing in Britannia-terrace, City-road. It appeared from the evid-nce of the prosecutrix and that of a widow lady named Na'h, that after spending the evening at the house of one of their friends on the Surrey side of the water, they got into a cab in the Blackfriars-road, between 11 and 12 o'clock, to proceed to the residence of the former lady, which they had almost arrived at, when, observing that the driver had turned down a wrong street, they lowered one of the windows and apprised him of his error. The cabman accordingly backed his horse, and was in the act cf turning again into the road, when the prisoner and two other men suddenly presented themselves at the window of the vehicle, one of whom hastily took off his hat, and flung it inside, while the prisoner at the same moment opened the door, and sprang in after it. The prosecutrix, although greatly alarmed, immediately raised the cry of "Police," and endeavoured to thrust out the man, who began strug ling with her, and, making a snatch at her boa, dragged it off of her neck, and was in the act of re ' treating with his booty, when the end of the boa was seized by the other lady, who held it fast, and after another, but abortive effort, to secure it, the prisoner relinquished his hold, and attempted to effect his es cape, but he was fortunately intercepted by a consta ble who was attracted to the spot by the screams of the ladies, and taken into custody. In answer to the charge, the prisoner stoutly pro tested his innocence, and said that both the ladies were entirely mistaken in his identity ; but Mr. HasimlLL intimated that he had no doubt whatever as to the real facts of the case, and, ordering the depositions to be at once taken, fully committed the prisoner to Newgate for trial. CLERKENW WE Messrs. Sherrard, Smith, and Butler, late gover nors and directors of the poor of St. Andrew, Hol born, and St. George the Martyr, were summoned under an information to show cause why they refused to pay 651.165., alleged to have been applied by them for purposes not applicable to the relief of the poor. Mr. Pashley, the barrister, attended on the part of the Poor-law Board, and Mr. Duncombe for the de fendants. It appeared that on the occasion of the ill-treatment of the pauper children in the establishment of Drouet, at Tooting (+he particulars of which are no doubt in the recollecrion of our readers), several of them died, and a coroner's jury returned a verdict of "Man slaughter " against Drouet, the principal of the establishment. The defendants were at that time governors and directors of the poor, and under an order from the Poor law Commissioners a prosecution was instituted against Drouet. Mr. Mitchener, the auditor appointed under the Act of Parliament, sub sequently audited the parish accounts, and after great attention and a creful examination he came to a de cision that the above sum was misapplied, and be dis allowed it. He issued a certificate to that effect, in which he gave his reasons, complying with the statute, and called on the defendants to refund the money alleged to have been misappropriated. This day having been appointed for Mr. Tyrwhitt to give his decision upon the matter, the court was crowded to excess by the parish authorities, and con siderable interest was manifested. Mr. Pashley addressed the bench at considerable length on the part of the Poor-law Board, and said that Messrs. Sherrard and Butler had acceded to the claim made upon them, but Mr. Smith resisted ; and he (Mr. Pa*hley) now claimed the decision of the bench in favour of the auditor, Mr. Mitchener, and urged that c , sts with the full amount should be al. lowed. 26/. ss. was now claimed from Mr. Smith, which had been paid to one James Duncombe, who acted as solititor to the defendants. Mr. Butler, one of the defendants, now pleaded " Guilty" to the non-payment of 261.55. Mr. Hale Mitchener proved the audit mentioned in the information, and produced his certificate having reference to the audit and surcharge of the defen dants; also the certificate of the treasurer as to the non-payment of 261. 5.. with reference to Mr. Smith. John Hardy, 205 S, the warrant officer of this court, proved the service of the summonses on the de fendants. Mr. Parish, one of the late governors and directors, identified the defendants. Heard Mr. Sherrard and Mr. Butler say they were ready to withdraw their plea of " Not Guilty." Mr. Samuel Stripling proved having served a dupli cate of the notice (now produced) on the parties. Mr. Charles Schofield, clerk in the London and Westminster Bank, deposed that the governor and directors of St. Andrew's, Holborn, banked at that establishment. The cheque for 651. 16s. was cashed by him in March, 1849, and that item was inserted in the book of that date. Had no recollection of pay ing any other cheque for 651. 16s. signed by three of the governors and directors of the pariah of St. An drew, Holborn. Mr. Pashley wished it to be understood that there was no intention to cast any imputations on the de fendants. Mr. Duncombe, in a lengthened address, urged that his clients were not bound to pay the sum claimed from them ; it had been expended in an assessment of the parish. He contended that they ought not to have been brought into that court under the circumstances, and, if an order was made, that costs ought not to be inflicted upon them. Mr. Mit chener was quite safe, as he would be allowed the whole of his costs, and he must say that the Poor law Board and he (Mr. Mitchener), their representa tive, did not appear in that court with clean bands. Mr. TraWHITT said he must make the order for payment of the sum claimed, but he wished for time to consider as to the costs. Mr. Pashley would not urge for the whole of the costs, but he would press for a reasonable amount. He would have the bill taxed by the Master in a re- Ruler and legal way, and propose that half the costs should be paid, and this be did in a liberal spirit, and if they did not agree to this, he would press tor the whole of the costs, for the attendance of witnesses, counsel, &c. Mr. TTRWIIITT said, that this proposal ought to be considered by the defendants. He made the order, and said he would give his decision as to the costs on Thursday next. The parties then 14.7 AME court S. William Eas t, the youth who st an d s c h arged with ef.t i he . a shooting Robert Ablett, a labour e r, and against whom 66 Manslaughter was ret urne d on Mon day coroners jury, surrendered on bail b e fore Mr. Ingham. a ve r d l c s tt of by Th e particulars of this case have already been fully detailed, and the following additional evidence was now heard. Mr. S. T. Rowe, a surgeon, stated that he bad made a post snortem examination of the body of the deceased, and found that a bullet had penetrated the heart, which was the cause of death. The ball en tered on the right side below the nipple of the breast, took an oblique direction, and in its course carried away the cartilage of the rib. He had no doubt the shot was fired from an elevation. Mr. Richard Stapp, a gunmaker, said be bad made some experiments with a gun found in the prisoner's lodgings in L on d on - street, R atc liff, an d fi re d it w ith a ball of th e same size as that taken from the de ceased's heart. He found that the gun, with about a drachm and a half or two drachms of gunpowder, would carry a shot more than 250 yards. He fired at a wooden target 250 yards distance, and the ball went past it and raked up the grass. Police sergeant Squire, No. 14 K, stated that he had measured the distance from the prisoner's yard or garden where he fired the gun to the deck of the Lively, where the deceased was shot, and it was exactly 244 yards. Jane Carries said that she lived in the same house as the prisoner, arid that on the day the deceased was shot she saw him with a gun in his hand, and heard a report as if it bad been fired off. Police- sergeant Squire said that there was a Mr. Lucas and other witnesses in attendance who could speak to their having frequently remonstrated with the prisoner on the impropriety of his firing off a gun in such a crowded neighbourhood. A man, who was very boisterous, here expressed a wish to be examined for the prosecution, and said he was quite certain the gun used by the prisoner would not carry a ball so far as was represented. It appeared that be could state no reason for coming to such a conclusion, and his testimony was dispensed with. Mr. Pelham, who attended for the prisoner, and who started many curious objections iu his cross-exa mination of the witnesses, said that a man who w d exatnitied before the coroner stated 'hat snots wet s fired from various directions on the ray the unfortu nate m,in met with tils death. Itr wn. quite sure It would he to ~ut h co,,..;:ructive ev'' Bence ibut t P sh t. fired ti e the p;.i..o::er viai the oDe which killed the duceased. Mr. INGHAM 6id. not knew that. He w anted 5 withers who could identity the report of a . gun at ril l ! back of London-street, win-re the prisoner lived, Wit" the fall of the man who was shot. Squire said he was not prepared with that e vidence at present, but the mate of the Lively, who sacv t he , deceased fall, and who was only two or three fee' from him at the time, was present. The mate of the Lively was recalled, and he merell breast s on repeated what he had before stated ; that h e deck, when he saw deceased put hisi rid to his il and exclaim, " Oh, my God, I an. allot!" and ot., , re d..ad immediately afterwards. He heard the p of a gun, but he could not say in what direction the shot came Mr. INGHAM said, the police must endeavour .to_ bring forward some witnesses who could identify to,a, report of the gun fired by the prisoner with the fa," of the deceased. He should again remand the Pr y soner on bail, until to-morrow (this day). Mr. Pelham said. that although the coroner's:l°4 had re urned a verdict of manslaughter agains t t he prisoner, the coroner, who had some doubts about . case, had very properly and very the officer who held the warrant of committal not execute it until after the examination before them r gistrate, and he did so for two reasons. The cornt% did not wish his jurisdiction to clash with t hat of n o magistrate ; and, secondly, he was desirous tha t t prisoner and his sureties should not forfeit the reel; nisances they had entered into, which would 111 / 1 been the case if the warrant had been executed direc this the verdict was returned. He had now to requms t feelingly directetdo nt magistrate to direct the officer who held the svar a re „4 not to execute it until his Worship had given hi6 ' decision in the case. tb the Mr. INGHAM said he could not interfere fir execution of the coroner's warrant. He wa s n ° bad tisfied that all the evidence that could be gi ven been given, and he had therefore remanded the P ay soner on the same terms as before ; and was now r e ' to take bail for him, if he was prepared with it• fore Mr. Pelham—lf he puts in the same bail s e be do and is immediately taken into custody on the corn? warrant, how can he be brought here to-tnorr ow Mr. INGHAM—If be does not appear here to le e row no further investigation can proceed, and d• will be an end of the case, so tar as I am conc eale d no Inspector Horne, of the division, said he bad If alternative but to execute the coroner's w he did not he should be liable to an indictmelA to severe penalties. , cOll,, MT. INGHAM—I have no doubt you will ov aJ . duty properly. I have remanded the prisoner , an have done with the case Mr. Pelham immediately proceeded to the a e oc ted room, where his client was in custody, and ci t t o d• him not to put in bail. The consequence of this t he vice is, that the prisoner remains in cu stody I° ol o taro,. so magistrate's committal, and will be brought UP It ° from the House of Detention this day.
