I was acquitted before the oofoner, and allowed to depart; but they took me and detained me in a cell— and such a cell—so horrible, having the sulphurous gas which I inhaled from the dying man in me; it entered my lungs, passed down one hemisphere and up the other, festering and breaking cut in my finger; and this is what I have got for my humanity, to ray nothing of the loss to my pocket. But in the first book "of vacuity," Aris totle says " There is voidness." We have, however, lost sight of the true principles of nature; and if it were not for old books we should be still in the dark. Here you see a man arrayed against a million.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE: There was no satisfactory evidence of their being en gaged in a cpinmon design to defraud the prosecutor. The Learned JUDGE, in summing up, asked the jury whether they did not believe that the whole transaction was a trick ? If, instead of a speech, the prisoner had procluced his venerable parent, whose word was not to ba broken, or the beasts about which he pretended to he trafficking, the case would have been a very dif ferent one. while, the woman present asked the prisoner to remove the lamp fro m t h e man ' s f ace, t h at t h e man might have a lit'le breath. The apron was then removed, and . the lamp also. W e th en ra i sed the man up i n a sitting posture, at prisoner's request, and ho struck the man several times in the side. Ho then asked me to fetch some bread. I did so. He cut a piece, which he wrapped round a pill. This he put into the man's mouth, who swallowed it. He next asked far a feather. I gave him one from an oil bottle used for the burns, and he pushed it down the man's throat. The man was sick, on which the prisoner said, " That is the gas I am pumping from the man's stomach." He then put the lamp to him as before, and moved his arms and legs about. After this he placed one of the " lights " he had burning into a jug, telling me to hold it under the man's nose, and I did so. The prisoner then went out, and a few minutes afterwards Mr. Davies came in. The man got worse from that time till two o'clock the next day, when he died. There was an alteration for the worse after the prisoner treated him. (To the Judge)—The sick man said, in reply to the pri soner, " I think I feel myself better." But in my opi nion he was worse for what was done to him. 5 aS ced nue any ore A PUBLIC MEETING will be held in St. raot,.artin's-hall, Long- r , TO-MORROW, March 5, to pro krtietZ REPEAL or ALI ac T e AXFS ON KNOWLEDGE, and, in r ' " the PENNY ST VM - P ' ON N - E%VSPAPERS. thi rne-.Atz,ard Allah,' ~,kea B , Professor T.

London : Smith, Elder, and Co., 65, Cornhill Prisoner—Then I must rely on argument. The soul of vacuity is in the wing, as shown in a feather. [He here held up a feather, and ingeniously suggested that a small integument in the quill, connected by strings with the muscles of the body, by a valvular action exhausted the hollow of the quill when the bird expanded the wing for flight, so as to facilitate its rising from the ground.] He said it was observing that cir cumstance which led him to his discovery. he saw the vacuum in the quill, and how it was produced; the question was, where was the vacuum in men? At length he perceived that the vacuum in man was between . the periosteurn and the bone; and that in instances of shock by railway trains, or in cases of burning by fire damp, he, by means cf his lamp, the constituents of which are similar to the components of the sun's light, could give relief. He stated that he had been down to Ashton, in Lancashire, where there had been an explo sion of fire-damp, and he there cured eight men. Re turning from that place Providence caused him to meet Oakley, the manager of the colliery where the deceased eas burnt. It was by Providence he was working, and be must stand by his principle, even to death. Ile travelled with Oakley to Mountain Ash station, %here he left him to go on to attend the deceased. I showed my lamp and this arm bone [he here held up a human ulna] to the people. I went into the house, telling them they should see a miracle. I took the atmospheric tonnage from the sick man. I produced au action on the periosteum, which is the principle which the medical man here will not acknowledge. They did not follow my advice. If they had, the man would be living now, so help me God. The ancients gave the name periosteum to the mem brane enveloping the bones, on the true principle; for peal means about, and osteunt means the bones. This skin is mentioned in the Psalms of David. Psalm cii , v. 5. It is there said, "By reason of my groaning"— that is, the groaning like the rattles in Matthew Tingle's throat. He went on referring to the Molucca Islands inhabited by curious birds; to the circumstance of kan garoos carrying their young in a pouch or skin, and eagles theirs upon their hacks. Ile then referred to an old book called " The French Academie." On being asked if he was prepared with witnesses, he said, " I found a difficulty of getting witnesses. My lawyer ran a large bill, and I determined to defend myself. I paid him 701., and 31. more were required of me. I have been pestered with a claim of 3,0001. I supported the Evening Star newspaper for several months. I was the friend of the Welsh in opposing the introduction of po lice, who were men painted and dressed up as women, contrary, as I showed, to the statute of Henry VII. I am a magistrate of Worcestershire, and I am bound to keep the peace, and I try to do so. I work at night. Reason loses herself in the day, but she works at night. The Board of Health recognize my works. It is the duty of a midwife, on the birth of a child, it having no skin but what the natural pressure of the air gives it, to introduce air for a counter purpose, by which the child will live. I have made my report, to Government, claiming my expenses, but they would not pay. The 2d chapter of Genesis shows that the breath of life is in the nostrils, therefore I introduce warm air to counteract the atmospheric pressure, for if they breathe cold air, the natural caustic of the cold air injures the patient. I do not drink wine or spirits, though I order them when Igoto an inn. Ido this to keep a roof over my head, but when the waiter is gone I throw it out of the window. He said he was a lieutenant in the navy, " one of the old school—not one of the flinchere." He named the noble families through which he had descended, including Prince Llewellyn and Owen Tudor, and those to whom tie is related, and con cluded with an earnest appeal to the jury to do him justice. Mr. Justice WILLIAMS summed up with great care, directing the jury that it was sufficient to maintain the Indictment if it were made out to their satisfaction that the deceased died earlier from the treatment he had re ceived than otherwise he would. The gaol calendar presents a fearfal array of crime, there being 76 prisoners for trial, and nearly the whole of the cases are of the most atrocious description. Lord Chief Justice CAMPBELL, who sat on the Crown side, in addressing the grand jury, said that, upon look ing over the calendar, ho was horror-stricken at its con tents, for he found that there wore no less than five charges of murder, 12 of arson, a great number of bur glary, and, in fact, there were charges of almost every description of aggravated offence known to the law; and he observed that he really felt so much weighed down by observing the extent of crime that was to be disposed of, that he could not do more than ask them to retire at once to perform the duties that devolved upon them. Mdlicent Pagc, 42, married, an inoffensive, motherly looking woman, attired in deep mourning, was indicted for the wilful murder of Susan Smith Page, her daugh ter, by cutting her throat. Mr. Ryland conducted the prosecution; the 'prisoner was defended by Mr. T. Chambers. The Learned COUNSEL, in stating the case for the pro secution, said that the prisoner had been arraigned upon the present charge at the Lent assizes in 1850, and was then found to be insane and unfit to plead, and since that period she had had been confined in gaol, but, having now recovered, was placed upon her trial; but he appre hended the only question the jury would have to decide was as to the state of mind of the prisoner at the time she committed the act imputed to her. Some witnesses were then examined, from whose evi dence it appeared that the prisoner was the wife of a labouring man in this town, and that up to the time of the occurrence she had always borne the character of an affectionate wife and mother. In November, 1849, she was delivered of the child in question, and it appeared that shortly after she had recovered from her confine ment she was observed to be in a very despendint; way, and was frequently heard to exclaim that she did not know how she should be able to live, as her husband had had his wages reduced. It appeared that soon after this her husband was discharged from his em ployment, and this still further preyed upon her mind indictment she the morning of the day named in the she went in her nightclothes to the house of a neighbour named Cooke, a shoemaker, in a wild and excited state, and exclaimed to him, " I have killed my poor dear babe, and have tried to kill myself. but I can't." Mr. Cooke said he hoped what she said was not true, and she said it was. She put her hand up to her throat, and ho observed the blood oozing between her fingers. He then obtained assistance, and proceeded immediately to the prisoner's house, where he found the child, with its throat cut, covered over with the bedclothes and quite dead, and a razor, with which the dreadful act had been committed, lying by its side. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, after a portion of the evi dence had been gone through, said it appeared to him to be unnecessary to proceed further with the examina tion of the witnesses, as he apprehended the jury could not entertain any reasonable doubt that at the time the prisoner committed the act she was not in such a state of mind as to render her responsible for her actions. The jury coincided with the opinion expressed by his Lordship, and at once returned a verdict of Not Guilty un the ground of insanity. tProfessor Virlieat,tone, F.R.S. PHYSICIAN. fJ. 31.

The jury found the prisoner Guilty. The Learned JUDGE, in passing sentence, said that until the recent chango in the law, he would have been liable to transportation; and he certainly richly de served transportation. Tho low, however, did not per mit him to pass the sentence which the case deserved; and the sentence, therefore, was, that ho be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for two years.

EXAMPLES OF BONUSES ALREADY DECLARED. Edward Moss, who said he was lodging at the Wag gon and Horses on the Bth of February. Showed the prisoner the way to Burton's. The woman (Hannah Hurst) came out of the street into the passage on her way to her house. The gas was burning in the passage. The woman passed the prisoner on the right hand. He put his hand on her shoulder. She turned round, and he looked in her face. He said, " This is the b-," stopped one step back, and fired a pistol immediately. The witness did not see the pistol before, but saw it in his hand when he fired. The explosion put out the gas. The woma❑ shrieked out very loudly, and fell. The man ran into the street. Cross-examined by the prisoner (who had placed a lighted taper, like a night mortar, on the rail of the bar before him)—There was a policeman present named John Reece. The instrument you used was such as that. [The prisoner held up a tin lamp with an open top, and the slide cut away so as to admit the lower jaw.] I heard what is called the " rattles in the man's throat before you came; I think it was the day before. I have not beard that the rattles are indicative of approaching death. I did not hear the noise when the lamp was put to the man's face. Edward Davies kept the man's lower jaw up. Tingle's hands were bound up in plasters. You told me to move all his toes, then to move his ankles and his knees, and I did so. There was a great smell of plasters in the room. You told me to open the windows, and Tingle's wife to shake a cloth about the room. We did so and it became sweeter. When we raised the man up in the bed he had the noise in his throat. You applied the lamp and he then breathed freely through the nose. lam aware that when a man breathes freely through the nostrils his lower jow must be up. [ the prisoner, addressing the Court, here said—" My Lord, these are philosophi cal questions of great importance, which I must lead out from the witness."] When you asked the man to sit up, I said he is too weak to do so. The man only breathed from the lamp in the jug two or three minutes, till the doctor came. You went out, saying you must go to another sick man in the next house. [The pri soner here again addressed the Court, saying he bad now to go into a point of:great interest, very curious, and not generally understood.] When the sick man sat up in bed, you passed a feather down his throat, and some phlegm came up. [The prisoner, excitedly—That is it, my Lord.] You then got bread, and administered a pill. I cannot say the man's wife seemed gratified that he could sit up. Re-examined by Mr. GROVE—Reece, the policeman, was not in the same room when the pill was given and the feather used. Oh 441 '29 1 and J. F. BELL. Secretary. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF MOSES' CLOTH ? I think this cloth is woven well, Such cloth is certain to excel; 'Tie sound and stout, nor can we trace A single blemish on its face; With cloth so choice and cloth so strong, No wonder that the dress lasts long. What do you think of MOSES' style? I think it's elegantly neat, I think it matchless and complete, I think it beautifully chaste, I think it shows the cutter's taste, I wonder not that thousands smile Approvingly on such a style. What do you think of MOSES' make ? I'm led to think from what I ken, That tit., y employ the best of men ; No slighting faults are found to lurk In any portion of the work ; In fact you need Rot ask me whether The clothes are rightly put together. What do you think of MOSES' fit? What do I think of MOSES' fit? I think it truly exquisite. I really always view with pleasure The skilful way they use the measure: They have an admirable tact In making us a fit exact. What do you think of MOSES' prices ? I tell you what, I can but wonder To find their prices so much under. To see the garments they supply, One might suppose they'd charge us high. But, no, their list of prices show They sell astonishingly low. A handsome Almanac, for the year 1851, can be had gratis, on application.

Mr. Roberts, a tailor at Daventry, on the evening of the Bth of February last was at a house near the Wag gon and Horses in that town. He heard the report of a pistol and a shriek. He went out and followed a man who was running, and overtook him. It was the pri soner. He said, "I am the man who shot the woman, and she is my lawful wife." He was given into the custody of the police, and went quite willingly. Cross-examined—He appeared agitated. Thomas Marriott, the constable of Daventry, received the prisoner into his custody. Found upon him powder and shot—large shot (No. 2). Said to him, "My good man, how came you to do so ?" He said, "I came on purpose, and I hope I shall have a fair trial." Edmund Osborne, a constable of Daventry, found thirty-four shots in a door in the passage of the Waggon and Horses. ~..- .- -...-t r - ...-.. 1.1 - 1.1 . 1.,. ri,n, \II,/ I ....,,,.....-` ..-.. • W I. n Aya.

(Incorporated ander 7 and 8 Viet., cap. 110.) The leading principles of this Office era —Moderate and equitable Rates of Premium for each class of risk--Annual division of Profits. The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion Premium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so great, that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess than calculation. It has been found by experience, that the total annual losses of the different Established Companies have not been proportionate to the amount of annual Premiums received by each. It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers, that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation t• the true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu rance Company is established. The true rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap ?roached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto been sufficiently acted • n, or systematically aNtlied. Whatever he the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically t• the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as security against less for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer is largely interested in this question, and will consult his interest by supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica tion and Aver.uge, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk. The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant analysis of its own experience, ftom time to tie e, adopt such rates of Premium as the nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange ments as regards tariffs with other offices. With this view an annual investigation will be made into each class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fifty per cent. of the nett excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have been in force for three years. Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Company upon every description of Property on moderate terms. Farming Stock insured at 3s. per cent, without the Average Clause. Prospectuses. and every information may bo obtained, on applica tion at the Office, or to any of its Agents. To the prisoner—The man's face was covered all over with plasters; he could not see out of his eyes. You told me to remove the plasters, to give him room to breathe, but there worn none over the nostrils. The plasters were taken off the man's eyes. The Learned JuncE here interrupted the prisoner, telling him that any material question ho might have omitted on cross-examination he might now put, but he must not cross-examine in that manner. Mr. O'BRIEN, in addressing the jury for the prisoner, observed that the only question was, with what intent the prisoner had committed the rash act which was the subject of the present indictment? At the sight of the woman, who had so deep:) , and irreparably wronged him, it was not easy to conceive the degree of frenzy into which a man might be wrought; but, looking at the cir cumstances of the case, they must consider whether his intention was not to disfigure her or do some injury to her short of killing her. Many witnesses were called to speak to the peaceful character and inoffensive disposition of the prisoner. The Learned JUDGE summed up, and The jury returned a ♦erdict of Guilty upon the first count. 4 1 1‘44, t tt ki .es tr 11 sip ke el * are run direct, the Packets not tilrok,rt Piers or for Boats. ) 4:.

Mr. Justice Patteson, after trying a few cases of larceny, rose at eleven o'clock. Mr. Justice Tulfourd was not able to rise till five o'clock. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice TALFOURD.) James Gross, 21, and John Tucker, 17, labourers, were convicted . yesterday, atter a very long investigation, of having set fire to two ricks of barley, belonging to their master, Mr. Brooks, a farmer at Kingston Bagpuize, on the sth of December last, and were brought up to-day for sentence. Mr. Carrington, Mr. Skinner, and Mr. Sawyer ap peared for the prosecution; and Mr. Williams for the prisoners. No motive was assigned for the crime of which the prisoners bad been found guilty. They had been for several years in the service of Mr. Brooks, and had been always treated with the greatest kindness. On the very day on which the fire occurred, the prisoners, who were ploughmen, had destroyed two ploughs with which they were working, and threw parts of them into a pond. This they actually confessed, and for this they did not allege any motive whatever; and after the fire occurred one of them was heard to say, " Those that did the ploughs did the fire." To the Judge—Before the magistrate I said the man seemed neither better nor worse for what was done to him by the prisoner. That was a mistake. What I have now said as to his being worse is the fact. I cannot tell how I made the mistake. ti c° rere ern► edo To Mr. Grove—What I said before the magistrate applied to the condition of the man while the prisoner was about him. He was then neither better nor worse, though he himselt said he ;vas better, but afterwards he became worse. Sentence of death was recorded. (Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.) Thomas Denny was indicted for maliciously shooting at Thomas Dunkley, on the 4th of August last. Tho prosecution was conducted by ➢ir. Partridge; the prisoner was undefended. It appeared by the evidence that o❑ the 4th of Aug. the boy was employed to keep birds off the field in which the prisoner was at work, and the boy stated that the prisoner loaded the gun in the morning with somo pieces of lead, and in the afternoon pointed the gun at him, saying "I will shoot you." The boy told him not to do so, as the gun was loaded. The gun, however, went off, and some of the contents lodged in the knee and other parts of the boy's person, causing an injury from which he had not yet recovered. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE directed the jury to consider whether or not the prisoner pointed the gun at the boy with intent to shoot him, or whether it went off by acci dent. In the former case to convict, in the latter to acquit him. Mr. PARTRIDGE suggested that the jury should be told also to consider (in the event of their being of opinion that there was no malicious intent) whether or not the prisoner had been guilty of a common assault, it having been proved that the prisoner pointed the gun knowing it to be loaded. The JUDGE declined to put the question, and The jury found " that the prisoner fired the gun at the boy, but without any malicious intent to shoot him." Upon this finding a verdict of common assault was entered by the direction of the Learned Judge. Francis Wright, aged 43, a horse dealer, was indicted for wounding Samuel Walton, with intent to do him grievous bodily harm. Mr. Flood prosecuted; Mr. O'Brien defended the pri soner.

CATHOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE ASSUItANCD COMPANY, 6, NEW COVENTRY-STREET, LEICESTER-SQUARE, LONDON. The FOURTH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the rroprie tors of this Company took place on the 25th instant, at the Head Office, at One o'clock precisely. The following is extracted from the report, which is too lengthy f,)r publication : the evidence in support of the charges was founded on the testimony of Mary Hill, who gave such a contradic tion to the statements of the prisoners when they first came forward, mad two other witnesses recently brought to town. During the past yearno claim , . have arisen from deaths in England, and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for 21301.—making together 7001., which have been paid. This is far below the expected mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last year. ;2-" b,ire, , t irY d. cer" Mrs. Hill repeated the statements she had made cn the last occasion. The prisoners, ratites and Lewis, took a lodging at her house on the 7th of a.cernht.r, 1849. The same night they went out and returned with a tall man named Sheridan. Parkes said he was her husband. Sheridan confirmed the assertion. Witness saw Sheridan in the satue bed with Parkes that night, and also the following night. O❑ Wednesday the child was born. Sheridan was on a sofa in the kitchen. Witness took the child down to him, and he blessed it. The prisoner Parkes had repeatedly told her she was married to Sheridan. The woman Jaue Lewis was present all the time. The number of lives assured between the Ist of June, 1549, and the 31st of May, 1850, was more than double the number issued in the twelve months preceding. Proposals were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,9631. 2s. 6d.: of these 123, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. 6s.

The distinctive feature or this Company consists in the ;efficiency of ONE PAYMENT to cover an Alsurance for the WHOLE OF LIFE. The first Is the only expense and trouble, there being no annual re newal of premium. By granting Assurances to Passengers only, and excluding all those persons iu the employ of Railway Companies or Contractors among whom the heavier risks occur, the Directors of this patty are enabled to issue Policies at a lower rate of premium than is offered by any existing Company. Upon proof being given that a party assured has met with his death by railway accident, the Company vill pay to his representa tives the full amount of his Policy. If the accident shall result in personal injury only, the Company will pay to the assured a fair compensation for such injury. Assurers have the option of travelling in carriages of any class, and on any railway in the United Kingdom. The Directors are now , granting assurances upon the following terms, viz.:— For every Policy of 100/. 0/. is. 1 For every Policy of 2 1,50/. 5001. 11. ss. , O OOO/. 41. 4s.

[ADVERTISEMENT.I—Another Proof of the Effi cacy of Holloway's Ointment and Pills for the Cure of Bad Legs.—Mrs. Mandeville, Stretton, suffered for nearly three years with fearful sores in both legs. Notwithstanding the various medicines and treatment of which trial was made, the ulcerations grew worse, and for nc Tabs she was unable to stand. At length it was decided that Holloway's Ointment and Pills should be used, and these excellent medicines soon worked wonders, for in a few Yi eeks all the wounds were healed, and the use of her leg so perfectly restored, that she is now able to walk several miles a day with ease.—Sold by all Ve ndors of Medicine, and at Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London. Cross, when called up for judgment, made a very good address—a re-echo of the counsel's speech—to show that he was not guilty; but His LORDSHIP said he was quite satisfied the verdict was perfectly right. Their conduct was most inexcus able and wicked, and deserved a very severe punishment. Transportation for 15 years. Joseph Knots, 27, labourer, and John Bushnell, a beer shop keeper, who were also convicted yesterday of hav ing set fire to six stacks of oats and four stacks of wheat, worth 1,4001., the property of Mrs. Mary Hamerton, at Bray, in this county, were brought up for sentence. Mr. Skinner had conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Carrington the defence. Bushnell protested his innocence, but, as in the former case, his Lordship expressed his entire concurrence in the propriety of the verdict, and passed the same sen • tence-15 years transportation. Joseph Sounders, aged 22, a shoemaker, was tried and convicted of a rape on Miss Isabella Lydia Pullen, under circumstances of great atrocity. He was an apprentice to a shoemaker in Maidenhead, named Adams, who had a shop in Lee's.lane, on the Bray road. The prosecu trix, a very modest-looking girl, of 16 or 17 years of age, was in the habit of minding the shop for Mrs. Adams, occasionally. Lee's-lane is a part of Maidenhead that is well frequented. On the 29th of August last, ;between three and four o'clock, Mrs. Adams was from home. Her husband had gone to a neighbouring village, and there were in tho house only the prisoner, the prosecu trix, and an errand boy. The prisoner sent out the lad for some eggs and butter into the town, and the moment the lad was gone out the prisoner slammed to the door with one hand, and with the other flung the prosccutrix with such violence on the floor that, her head first coming in contact with it, she was stunned, and while she was senseless he effected his purpose. She immediately ran home, complained to her mother, who is a respectable widow lady in reduced circumstances, and became very ill, and continued so for several days. The jury, without deliberating for more than a few minutes, found him Guilty. sentence, said the case was as s i any in he ) re s c i :lfected, His ba d a L one n n o a silP ' except where a numberof ruffians combined to attack a singl e w o man. A f years past the prisoner's crime would have subjected him to the punishment of death, and if the law were now in the same condition, be certainly would not in the clightest degree interpose to prevent its being carried out to the fullest extent in the present instance. His duty compelled him to pass the heaviest sentence which the law allowed—transportation for life. ..._, The commission was opened in the afternoon hero by Mr. Justice Matteson.

MlDLAN(BDeroCrletr. Ü B I a T r . ; N A o trtrilimpot N on .) , March 3. Joseph Clarke was indicted for stealing five 104 notes, the property of Mr. Preston. Mr. Hayes appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. Flood for the defence. Mr. Preston deposed as follows:—I live near Oundle. On Monday, the 25th of February, 1850, I went to Oundle fair. Near the Talbot Inn I met a man, he called himself Proctor. It was about h a lf-p as t one .

They asked me if I would step into the Talbot with them to put them together. We all went into the Talbot. Proctor gave m e 50!. an d eight 5/. notes and ten sovereigns. Ile put them into my hand. He said it was to pay for the beasts, because Clarke's father would not fo rfeit his word, therefore I was to hand the money over. I did hand it over. Clarke said that would not do. He said, " I can't t a k e your money for the sake of my father's word," an d clapped his head on amndey., upon, I told hi his heart. Ile I had e said to " It must be your not any to signify abort me. Ile wanted to know what I had go t. I said 30/. He said that would do. I told him I could not part wit's that. He said that I could go to the bank and get it if I liked. I said I could, , the five I went on t o th e bank and got five 101. notes. When I came out Cl ar k e was in the middle of the road. I told him I could c h ange the money then. We went to the inn again. P roc t or came in, but did not sit down. The other 50/. ( e i g ht 51. notes and ten sovereigns) lay on the table.

Clarke went out to a stable door and told the ostler to let me have the great bay horse. I knew nothing about the horse. It had not been named before. I considered there was something wrong, and Iwent to look for w ay. Proctor. calledl Then o I saw the back them. i went to the Cross Keys. They had gone that way. Stop p m t both running bateo away not catch The ostler of the Cross Keys proved that Clarke and two other men had come there together, Clarke on horse back and the others in a gig; and they went off in a hurry. The same men bad left a horse at thn Talbot Inn which was afterwards Fold by auction. It was worth about 51. Mr. Flood, in his addres to the jury on behalf of the prisoner, contended that the prisoner clearly had a bad opinion of Proctor, and would not deal with hie), teougn he would with Mr. Preston. Mr. Preston had been im posed upon by Proctor, and what reason was there to suppose that Clarke also had not been Imposed upon? It appeared that the prosecutor and prisoner met at the Dolphin, at Oundle, on the 20th of February, on a market day; two years before there had been a bet be tween them, and the prosecutor, on seeing the prisoner, said, " You owe me half-a-dozen of wine." There was no quarrel, but as the prosecutor was putting on his great coat to go home, there being nobody else present at the time, the prisoner struck the prosecutor with his fist on the left side of the face. The prosecutor imme diately fell against the fender, upon which there was a great quantity of blood. After the prosecutor was on the ground and insensible, the prisoner kicked him in the face. A surgeon was called in, leeches wore applied, and the prosecutor had been under medical treatment over since. One of the surgeons was inclined to think that the principal hurt was occasioned by the fall upon the fender, and the other that it was not. The prisoner, when in custody, said to the consta ble, " They can only make mo pay fur it. I have paid 100/. for knocking live folka about; and I can pay another." Mr. O'BRIEN contended that there was no evidence of any intention to do grievous bodily harm, and that the justice of the case would be satisfied by a couviotion for a common assault. The Learned JUDGE summed up, and the jury found the prisoner Guilty of the whole charge. The Learned JUDGE, in sentencing him to twelve months' imprisonment, with hard labour, commented in terms of great severity upon the brutal and unmanly character of the assault. SOUTH WALES CIRCUI 11—Swansea, March 1. TRIAL OF LIEUTENANT ACKERLEY FOR MAN SLAUGHTER.—CharIes Henry Ackerley, a retired lieu tenant in the navy, and well known in London by his eccentric but philanthropic projects, was arraigned at the bar, charged on the oath of Jenkin Aubrey, of Aberdare, collier, and another, with having felon iously killed and slain one Matthew Tingle. lie pleaded not guilty. Mr. Grove conducted the prosecution; the prisoner defended himself. The Learned COUNSEL briefly opened the case as fel lows:—The Inquiry on which the Court is about to enter is, regard being had to the circumstances of the case, the prisoner at the bar being a gentleman by birth and education, one of a most painful nature. It appears that on the 12th of December last the prisoner went to Cwm Bach, in the Aberdare Valley, and called at a house where lay one Matthew Tingle, a collier, who had been recently burned by an explo sion in a coal-pit. He said he had been instructed to treat the sufferer medically. At that time Tingle was under the care of the surgeon of the works. The prisoner, on his representation that he was authorised to treat the man, was admitted. He saw Matthew Tingle lying on a bed covered with plaster, which, by his direc tions, was removed, in this manner exposing the raw surface of the burns. He then moved the arms and legs of the sufferer violently about. He placed a lighted lamp under the man's nostrils, and thrust a feather down his throat. A short time afterwards the man died. The surgeon who attended the deceased would show that the latter had a chance of recovery but for this rude treatment. No doubt the prisoner had no intention to do harm; on the contrary, it might be presumed his purpose was to do good; but if, acting ignorantly, or by gross negligence or misconduct, he accelerated the man's death, as, according to the instructions of counsel, the medical testimony would clearly show, then the law held him guilty of manslaughter. If, however, the evi dence should not be sufficient to establish the crime of manslaughter, then the jury might find the prisoner guilty of an assault, as no doubt his Lordship would fully explain to them. Jenkin Aubrey—l am a collier. On the 12th of De cember last the deceased, Matthew Tingle, was burnt with others by an explosion in Dyffryn colliery, Aberdare. His arms and legs were badly burned. I waited on him, and Mr. Davies, the surgeon of the works, attended him medically. I remember the prisoner Ackerley coming there. He said, "I am a doctor from Lancashire, sent here by Mr. Powell, the owner, and Mr. Oakley, the agent of the colliery, to look over the men who are burned." He came iu and looked at the man. He then went out, and shortly returned with a lighted lamp. Ho asked for a cloth or something to :throw over the man's face; a woman gave him her apron, which he placed over the sick man's face, telling him to hold up his chin, and be careful not to• bremh through his mouth. He then placed the lamp under the apron al on g side the man's face, and told him to breathe as fast as ho could through his nostrils, and to play his arms and legs about. The man tried, but could not move his arms, and as be did not move his legs fast enough, the prisoner told me t o move the legs, and I did :30 under his direction. I moved the arms as well as the legs, exposing them naked to the open air. The window was , opened and the c l o th es were leaned by the Primer* Instructiehe. After a David Davies—l am a surgeon at Aberdate,l healing. the medical duty at Mr. Vowell's worts. I attended the deceased. He was burnt bn Thursday, the 12th of De cember. I saw him on that day, and , attentitel hin3 daily afterwards. He was severely burnt, but he had a chance of recovery. I ca say wilkcertainty whether he would recover Qt a r3t. d7slaster 4o ke the wounds from thellir. I consider the treatment of the deceased by the prisoider very irchpropeti —.The man was not in a state to be g, consenting party to' anything. I saw him an hour and a half before he died. He was then dying. I have no hesitation in saying the treat ment he experienced by the prisoner, especially by•tbe % exposing such an extent of raw surface to the action of the atmosphere accelerated his death. The agitating his limbs must have had a bad effect. I do not think the lamp and pill could have had a bad effect. To the Judge—l saw the man a very few minutes after the prisoner left the room. The plasters had been removed, almost every one from the deceased's Cross-examined by the prisoner—Six days had elapsed between the accident and the day in question. I had not heard " the rattles." I heard no other sound than that arising from bronchitis, under which the man was suffering. Ido not recollect whether the man's jaw was closed. He was very much exhausted. When I entered the room, I saw such a flame us the one you show me burning in a jug under the man's nose. The man supporting it said ho had held it so ever since you lift the room, which might be about five minutes. That will no doubt accelerate the circulation of the blood. It will exhilarate" the action cf the blood. I admit that the term " Nature abhors a vacuum " is sometimes made use of in the colleges. I gave the deceased operative (that is purgative) medicine first, and then I gave him medicine for the bronchitis. I am not aware that it is " the atmospheric tonnage or pres sure of 160 tons on the human body which keeps the men down in cases of explosions and burning by fire damp." I recognise that there is such a thing as atmo spheric pressure. The prisoner (to the'Court)—l want to come to phi losophy. Witness continued—l had not taken any means of re moving " the atmospheric tonnage" from the deceased's body. I was not present when deceased made his will. The prisoner (to the Judge)—My Lord, I have not only to cont'nd with the medical treatment, but to combat the error in philosophy. Witness continued—A man in the adjoining house, burnt at the same time, is also dead. lie was my patient. The prisoner (to the Court)—That man's wit© was pregnant. She looked ghastly pale, having inhaled the sulphurous gas from her husband, and I administered to her the lamp with good effect. Witness resumecl - -I recognise the principle that nature abhors a vacuum. The prisoner (to the Judge)—You hear that; it is im portant; on that principle I stand or fall. Re-examined by Mr. GROVE—The noise in the man's lungs WAS from bronchitis, not the noise of rattles pre ceding death. ,The secretion in the nose would prey( nt the man's breathing freely. He would, therefore, breathe through his mouth. To the Judge—The man next door died from the effects of a burn. The immediate cause of death in this case was bronchitis. In my opinion, the atmosphere acted on the burns, and through them on the nervous system, and that action accelerated and promoted the action of the bronchitis. I cannot say fur certain that the man would not have died from the burns, even if he had not had bronchitis. If a man is burnt severely, ex posure of his wounds will bring on bronchitis to a certain extent. It did so in the present case; the removal of the plasters aggravated the complaint, and death ensued. Exhaustion by discharges from his wounds, and not bronchitis, occasioned the death of the other man. The prisoner to the witness (through the Judge)— Do you recognise that the skin called the periosteum has a circulation of air between it and the bone, and that butchers blow it up? Witness—l do not recognise any such circulation of air. Jenkin Aubrey recalled—The prisoner directed me to remove all the plasters from the man's body, and I did so. It was after the removal of the plasters that the deceased's legs and arms were moved, about. (To the prisoner), " 'Ter told me to strip away the plasters and throw them off; blood flowed on my doing this." The prisoner (hurriedly to the Judge)—That is im portant; it shows the liquifaction of the blood. The deceased, when he made his will, did not complain of ill treatment. The prisoner, after producing and arranging several folio and quarto volumes, apparently of some antiquity, now entered on his defence, of which the following is a brief outline. He spoke for nearly an hour with great readiness and fluency, giving evidence throughout of an enthusiastic belief in the virtue of his lamp, and the originality and usefulness of his medical discoveries: — Persons who, like myself, introduce new systems and discoveries in philosophy, systems totally opposed to the generally received opinions, must expect to endure the position in which I am now placed; bat it is for the benefit of future generations that such trials should be endured by inventors. I do not shirk mine; I stand here fearlessly to abide the result. T he medical man admits that nature abhors a vacuum. That is my ground. The steam-engine works on that principle; and if the Testa ment on which the witnesses have been sworn is handed to me, I will show that my system of treatment is based on i f n or w go n t in tno hispoi point out t doctrines laid down in that h oly book. In all our colleges the treatme nt of disease goes on rules laid tdhoew passages prior t o o t f h et the Reformation.

Mr. BINGHAM complimented Mr. Bower, of Chancery lane, Lord Statatord's professional adviser, on tke way in vthich the case had been managed thrcu_;hca.. SOUTHWARK. A gentleman applied for the magistrate's advice rela tive to the alleged misconduct of the conductor of an omnibus towards his (the applicant's) wife. The applicant stated that his wife was a passenger in one of the omnibuses which run from the west end of the town to the railway station at the Bricklayers'-arms, in the Kent-road, but finding she had no small change when they got into the Westminster-road, she handed the conductor half-a-sovereign, the omnibus still going on at the time, and when he examined the coin, instead of giving her the change, he called out to the driver—" I say, Bill, we have got a smasher inside." As there was no other person in the vehicle, she knew the epithet " smasher" applied to herself, and she spoke to the con ductor, asking him what be meant, and desired him to return the halt-sovereign. He, however, refused to do so, asserting that it was a counterfeit cuin, and that ho should not give up the posst,ssion of it until be bad defaced it in such a manner that no attempt to pass it again could succeed. Applicant's wilethen desired to be set down in the London road, and when the omnibus stopped and the door was opened, the conductor caused severa l l ow fellows to stop and gape at her in conseque nce of his s aying that the lady inside had attempted to utter a counte rfeit half_ so ve r ei 12 wife was thrown , w hen, fortunatel y , a gentle ra lillWhO wa s passing, attracted b y the crow d ci , me up, and b gthosstac state e pr o uc f eaegdiitiaigtiso,n in which b: he (applicant) need no g t n.

The applicant got that had taken pl ace t o hi home she described all m, and placed in his bands the pieces of the half-sovereign, which he immediately took to a silvers m ith' s shop in the neighbourhood, and they were pronounced to be gold. 'Under such circum stances the übject of his present ap plication was to ascer tain whether th e conductor was not amenable to punish ment for having acted iu such a scandalous mann er to wards a passenger, agninst whom there was not the slightest foundation for " such an imputation as that he had cast upon her character. The applicant produced the three pieces which formed the coin his wife had tendered to the man of whom he complained, and which he added were genuine. Mr. A'I3EcKETT said that if the above statement was correct, the conduct of t he conductor of the omnibus was highly to be r e p re hended, and that before h f d •the e at tempted to have th e coin de-act in manner the o ne now produced was, he ought to have ascertained beyond " a doubt that i t was counterfeit. He (the conductor) therefore had rendered himself nable not only to punish for that offence, but also for the language he had w ent used towards the applicant's wife. T ...he magistrate ; added that he should grant a wiarant against the con , ductor, and that it would be necessary to be prepared with the requisite evidence against him.
