EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE. Capital-500,0001. (Incorporated under 7 and 8 Vict., cap. 110.) . . The leading principles of this Office ars—Moderate and equitable Rates of Premium for each class of risk—Annual division of Profits. The difficulty of collecting the elements en 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 to 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 goached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto been sufficiently acted ill, or systematically applied. Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as security against loss 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 Average, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk.

CATHOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE lJ ASSURANCE COMPANY, 8, NEW COVENTRY-STREET, LEICESTER-SQUARE, LONDON. The FOURTH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie 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 for publication : During the past year no Claim; have arisen from deaths in Engle* and but two in Ireland--one for 5001. and the other for 200/.—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. The number of lives assured between the Ist of June, 1849, 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 52,9631.25. 64.: of these 123, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. 6s. sixteen Policies larsed, representing 6,0481., upon which 3201. 31. was received by the Company in the shape of premiums. Since the commencement of the Company to the Ist of June last, assurances were effected to the extent of 110,9721. 12s 6d., pro ducing in annual premiums 3,7321. I Is. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed, amounting to 23,990/. 16s. 6d., of which the annual premiums were 7411. Is., leaving the yearly income on the Ist of June last equal to 2,9911. 15s. 11d. Since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001., but 1,183/. I ls. 10d. only was advanced. The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the last four months they had considerably extended their business on the Continent, having appointed, as Head Agent in France, Monsieur de l'Etang, a gentleman of high standing in Paris, distinguished for his integrity and alsility in financial and in all assurance matters, who, under the sanction and patronage of the Archbishop of Paris, the Cardinal Archbishop of Lyons, and Monseigneur Parisis, Eveque de Langres, has already within the last three months effected a con• slderabie amount of business, not only in Life Assurances, but in An nuities both Immediate and Deferred. After various resolutions, approving of the Report, and returning thanks to the Right Reverend Chairman, Bishop Morris, the Vice- Chairman, Actuary, Secretary, and Medical Officers of the establish ment, the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present results and future prospects.

The following is a fuller report of the debate on this subject than we were enabled to give in our paper of yesterday:— Sir G. GREY rose to ask for leave to bring in a Bill for the removal of Smithfield -market.—(Hear, hear.) The subject was one which had been brought frequently under the consideration of the House ;in past sessions, and it was not necessary, therefore, to enter into an ex planationni en tof aof Committeetcircumstanceshe io 1849 . which Thatled ct Committee lo t h ol e itatperhinatd heard evidence, and had proposed a series of resolutions on the subject submitted to them. In those resolutions they recommended the removal of Smithfield -market altogether, and proposed to make a new market on some site more convenient to all parties, and, more conducive to the general health, order, and cleanliness of the me tropolis. After the Committee made their report to the House, the Government referred the consideration of the whole subject to a Commission of seven gentlemen, two of whom were connected with the city of London, which, by ancient charter, bad long possessed the right of regulating the market of Smithfield, and instructed them to consider the question of convenience to the public at large, and the consequences which resulted from the position of that market. The Commission were net unanimous in their report, but the exceptions to the voice of the other members were the two gentlemen connected with the city of London; and, with those exceptions, the Commission were unanimous. They considered not only the evidence taken by the Com mittee, but had before them in detail the plans prepared by the city: of London for the improvement of Smith field; and the question fur them was, whether the plans proposed by the City, and of which be was bound in justice to say the City authorities afforded the most ample explanations, would meet tho evils complained of, and provide sufficient remedy for the inconveniences which had been proved to exist.—(Hear, hear.) It was not necessary for him to go into the details of the measure which had been adopted by Government, as the House would have ample opportunities of considering them in future stages of the Bill, and he did not anticipate any lengthened discussion upon the present motion, or any opposition to laying the Bill on die t a bl e . e would only say that the Commission, having the plans proposed by the City before them, and giving the City ample cre dit for the great improvements which would, no doubt, be made if those plans were carried into effect, came to the conclusion that it was expedient to remove the mar ket from its present site, and that it should no longer remain in the heart of a populous and crowded city.— (Hear, hear.) After the Commission:bad reported the result of their inquiry to the Crown,ialetter was written by his directions to the City Reaaembrancer, dated June 24, 1850, and inclosing the report. The letter was as follows: " I am directed by Secretary Sir George Grey to en close, for your information, a copy of: the report made by the Commissioners appointed by her Majesty to in quire into Smithfield-market, and the markets of the city of London fo. the sale of meat, and to request that you will bring under the notice of the corporation the re commendation of the Commissioners with respect to the discontinuance of the present market at Smithfield, and the establishment of a new market fOr the sale of cattle in a place without the City, and detached from the cen• tral portion of the metropolis. Before a Bill founded on the recommendations of the Commissioners is proposed to Parliament, Sir George Grey is aesirous of ascertain- ing whether the corporation are willing to undertake the task of constructing a new cattle-market without the limits of the City, and of exercising the supervision of it when formed." To that letter the City Remembrancer sent the following reply on the 31st of July:— " Sir,—ln answer to your letter of the 24th of June, I am directed by the Markets Improvement Committee of the Corporation of London, in pursuance of an order of the Court of Common Council of . the 23d of July, to,: state, that your letter, and ' the reports accom panying it, have been fully and itatnrely considered; and, the notice of the corporation ',having been drawn by your letter to the recommendation of five of the Commissioners for the discontinuance of the present market at Smithfield, and the establishment of a new market for the sale of cattle without' the City, the cor poration are advised to protest npinit the Commission being used for the purpose of affecting the rights pre scriptive, chartered, and Parliementsrily and judicially confirmed to the corporation of Loudon, and cannot con cur in the proposed removal of the market from the place where it has been held by tfii3 . citix.e.ns of London from time immemorial under the eiiininon law and their sceovnefinr nimeildesbyofPtahreliament, and lately sup charters, which prOhibit the establlghinent of any oth e r eitY L: t and which char ters have wi thin been ported by the judgment of the House of Lords, assisted Of London, therefore, maintain those charters feelby t ithemselves calledT h ec u or p p o o n rat t i o on for the sake of the public and of their fellow-citizms; and Bill as that referred to in rel y your with letter confidence to Parliament. The corporation having recently prepared a eon prehensive will be that h a p t r n proposed o s a u e c d h the sugges ef the several Select Committees of the House of Commons, t p i l o a n n s and po i n model,t ed out and proposed means for effecting it, they cannot undertake the task f b o y r the tbe purpose reports of meeting of constructing a new market with out the limits of the City, for which no site, nor plan,nor estimate is sug gested; while the plan propos ed h by the corporation is ready, when sanctioned by Pa r l i ament, for immediate execution." In other words, the Government were desirous that the supervision of the new market should continue in the hands of the city of London, i n the hop e t h at the city , would have acted on the recommendations of the Com missioners. The corporation , however, by their letter, declared they would take no s hare in the conc erns o f th e new market. It therefore b ecame the duty of Govern ment to consider how the r ecom mendation of a Com mittee of that House and t he re port of the Commis sioners should be carried into effect. A. Bill had been framed d we w re its with hthAnochijpeanl p r ovisions. I n t h e first place, 4 a nd he wo u ld briefly state what it would of ou five persons, ldempower to betheCrown to appoint a Commis sion incorporated u n d er the name of " The Metropolitan Cattle Market Commissioners." These Commissioners would have power and would Le authorised to provide at ca ttle-market in li eu of Smith field, having at the same time full discretion ary powers left to them as to the choice of a site for the n ew meat -market, to provide a e conveniences be authorised requisite for bath the markets thus to be created. The Com missioners farther would have power to make bye , laws as to the days and hours for holding the mar kets, as well as for their regulation and conduct in ternally. They would be empowered to fix a table of tolls and a table of payments in respect of cattle, horses, and meat sold in the market, and of the use of pens and lairs, with a power to levy such tolls, rates, and payments, subject to the proviso that they were not to exceed an amount to be fixed in a schedule to the Bill. The Commissioners were to report to the Secretary of State when the markets were ready for public use, and a notice would then be inserted in the Gazette as to the time when the markets would be opened, and after a time to be specified in such notice Smithfield would cease to be a market, and no new cattle market would be allowed to be created within five miles of St. P au l' s .— (Hear, hear.) The Commissioners of Police would have authority to regulate the routes and hours for driving cattle to and from the market. The Market Commis sioners by other provisions of the Act would be em powered to raise money by mortgage on future tolls for 1 the necessary expenses. They would be required to fix ( penalties, as directed by the Bill, which would provide for enforcing th e i r p a y ment , a nd they w ou ld a l so have I to keep accounts of all transactions in their depart -1 ment; provision was made for auditing and publishing those accounts, and the Commissioners would be re quired to make an annual report to the Secretary of State to lay before Parliament. The Bill also gave them power toinquire into the state of all slaughter-houses, and provided that all slaughter-houses, except those under the Act, should be licensed by justices at quarter sessions. These were the principal portions of the Bill. He believed it was to some extent of the nature of a private Bill, and must, therefore, be referred to the Committee on Standing Orders. He would undertake not to press it with undue haste, and he would give ample time for considering all the details of the Bill; but, as it would have to be referred to the Committee, he could not state when the second reading would take place. If leave was given to bring it in that day he proposed to refer it to the Standing Orders Committee immediately. The Right Hon. Gentleman concluded by moving for leave to introduce the Bill.—(Hear.) Mr. BUCK could not allow the occasion to pass without saying that the farmers would feel greatly in debted to Government for the great convenience the Bill would afford them. Mr. A. STAFFORD thought the assurance of the Secretary of State that the Bill would not to pressed with undue precipitati on was very necessary, and was of opinion considerable time should be given to under stand the provisions of a measure involving an immense amount of patronage, and a large discretionary power in •the hands of a new set of Commissioners, as well as a complete change of the metropolitan markets. He observed that their discretionary .power was un limited, and that no appeal was to be given from them, whatever districts might object to the new market sites - . The Bill also contained a clause that no market for live or dead meat should be allowed within five miles of St. Paul's.—[Sir G. GREY—" The prohibi tion only applies to live-cattle markets at present."] It was premature for the Hon. Member (Mr. Buck) to ex press his thanks, and those of the farmers, to Govern ment till they knew where the new market was to be; the change might be from bad to worse. The changes proposed to be made respecting slaughterhouses involved 3n immense amount of capital, and introduced a mode of dealing with private property which the House never had adopted before. The House had now before it one Bill from the Great Northern, another from the Islington Market, a third from the City, and a fourth from Government. The latter would exclude all the others, unless it was understood that they would select. Islington as the site for the new market, and that had been condemned by the Commissioners. The charters of the corporation must be considered, and he warned the Right Hon. Gentleman how he brought in a Bill which would meet an opposition he little expected in another place, where charters were more carefully regarded than in that House.—(gear, hear.) He would not offer any opposition to the Right Hon. Baronet's motion, but he begged to ask when he proposed to take the next stage, and if it would be pre sented as a public or as a private Bill? Sir G. GREY replied that he had already stated he could not fix any day for the second reading, because the nature of the Bill required it to be presented to the Standing Orders Committee. The Bill was partly of a private and partly of a public n a t u r e , an d, b e f ore it was presented to the House, must go through certain stages ] before that Committee. Mr. S. WORTLEY hoped that, in the absence of any of the Members for London, his connexion with the corporation would entitle him to say a few words, and to ask the House to give full consideration to the claims of that corporation. The Right Honourable Baronet had explained the plan of the Government, but ho bad not entered upon any explanation of that suggested by the corporation; and, though considerable difference of opinion existed in the corporation as to the removal of the market, he knew they were unani mous in the wish to effect the greatest improvement con sistent with the public interest and the importance of private rights. He thought it would only be fair to re• fer the rivet schemes to the same Committee, who could decide which was best. Although the Right Hon. Ba ronet had not mentioned the intended site of the new market, it was generally known to be somewhere about Holloway; but, before it was fixed upon, he wished to se cure for the proposal of the City a full consideration by the House. Mr. ELLIS observed that the Bill would be hailed with great satisfaction by the graziers in his part of the country. Sir G. GREY remarked that ho gave every oredit to the City for tho desire to improve Smithfield as far as possible, but the question was, whether tho evils arising from the locality did not call for the absolute removal of the market to another site. Leave was then given to bring in the Bill, which was handed in by Mr. C. LEWIS, read a first time, and was ordered to be referred to the Select Committee on Stand ing Orders. ADVICE TO THE PROTECTIONISTS. We beg to say a few words to those gentlemen who are proposing to secure what they call their " compen sation" at the expense of our digestions and our pockets. As Sir James Graham says, " The time has come, and the truth must be spoken." The people of England will not eat bad bread, to please anybody. They ate bad bread in the year 'l7, and in various other years during and after the war. Wo have frequently heard labourers and their wives ascribe their constitutional maladies to the hard, heavy bread, muck of unsound fl., , ur from un ripe or sprouting corn, in their early youth or childhood; and we have even heard them ascribe the death of their brothers and sisters to such food, which was as dear as it was bad. We remember the sort of bread which large families in the middle classes, compelled to be economical, used to eat—bread as hard and black as stale dumplings, from dough that would not rise, and which, instead of swelling uniformly, would blow out partially here and there, till there were cavities that a mouse could run in. The people who have eaten that bread will not eat it again if they can help it. If such is the feeling of those who remember the high prices of the war, and the bad harvests of the last ge neration, the feeling of those who have become accus tomed to the cheap and good bread of later days is not leas serious on the question of free trade. It is a very old remark that there is no point in: which men will less consent to go back, and in which civilization makes good its ground more firmly, than in the waiter of bread. Nations advance very slowly from the fish bread of the Northern climates, and the bark bread of old Europe, to the fine flour of England; but they never go back from wheat to rye, or from rye to bark. The millions of this country, who within the memory of man have advanced from barley and oats to wheat, will not go back ; nor will they go back from good wheat to bad wheat, if good wheat is to be got by any honest means. We warn these noblemen, then, that any attempt whatever, under what ever name or pretence, to restrict the people of this country to the short and spoilt harvests of our own soil will be met by the most determined resistance. It will not be tolerated for a siegle hour. Should any body of persons in the position of her Mijesty's advisers only divulge an unmistakeable intention to bind again the chains of monopoly, and to stretch the victim once more upon the rack of dearth, there would certainly be an al most universal determination to resist, at all events, even to the last appeal; and there is not an institution in the country that would stand before that resistance. It is idle to mince these matters, when they aro so grave and so manifest. It is the wisest charity and the soundest loyalty to tell the whole truth; and that truth is, that the British people will not have " Protection."-7'imes. ST. LUKE'S HOSPITAL. The annual Court of the Governors of this Hospital took place yesterday, at the George and Vulture Tavern, George-yard, Lombard -street, Henry Francis Shaw Le fevre, Esq., treasurer, in the chair. The reports of the general committee, auditors, and physicians, were read and approved. It appears that the founders of the charity held their first meeting on the 13th June, 1750, and that the hospital was opened on the 31st July, 1751, for the admission of patients. It is proposed to commemorate the establishment of this valuable charity by a centenary festival, to be held on the 25th of June, iu the present year, at which meeting the Right Hon. the Speaker is expected to preside. Re solutions in accordance with this view were adopted at the last annual court. The physicians state, in their re port, that the number of cases deemed curable on admis sion, treated since the opening of the charity up to the pre sent time, is 18,089, of whom 10,778 were women; of these 7,818 have been discharged cured; 508 have been removed from the hospital by desire of friends before treat ment was completed; 1,935 have been discharged as un fit objects for the charity; 6,359 have been discharged as uncured, after remaining twelve months in the hospital; 1,381 have died; and 88 patients deemed curable re mained under treatment on the 31st December last. In addition to these, 660 patients have from time to time been re-admitted on the incurable list, of whom 97 re mained in the hospital on the 31st December last. From 1821 to 1830 the average of recoveries w as 47 1-3. per cent. From 1831 to 1840, it was 561 per cent. From 1841 to 1850, it reached 60 3-5 per cent., showing the gradual though sure results of the improved system of treatment. The exceptions to the general rule of the non-employment of coercion or restraint in this hospital amount according to the daily report to two in one hun dred. Balla for the patients aro now given at St. Luke's once a fortnight, and the effect is found to be most satisfactory. The recoveries during the past year have amounted to 69 1-3 per cent., being, with ono exception, a larger proportion of cures than in any previous year. Many tables of interest accompanied the physician's report, amongst others a new table showing the relative weights of pa tients upon their admission and at their discharge. It appears that of thirty patients weighed upon their ad mission, whose average period of treatment was twelve weeks, the aggregate increase of solid flesh was 3581b5. The receipts of the hospital for the past year were 7,1571. lls. 7d., the expenditure, 6,3861.; stock pur chased, 4461. 15s. 6d.; leaving a surplus for the year of 324/. 16s. Id. The report of the committee noticed with regret the loss the charity had sustained through the death of the late president, his Royal Highness the Duke of Cam bridge. The Right Hon. Lord 0 verstone was unanimously elected as president, in the room of his late Royal High ness. Who Lad of Abingdon And WUlidw Henry Whit. bread, Esq., were elected as vice-presidents The re. maining aficers of the corporation were severally re. elected; and after a cordial vote of thanks to the chair man, the court ended. EXTRAORDINARY AFFILIATION CASE, THE EARL OF STAMFORD AND WARRINGTON. The Earl of Stamford and Warrington was yesterday summoned before Mr. Bingham, at Marlborough -street court, for refusing to maintain an illegitimate child, of which he was alleged to be the father, by Mary Ann Parkes. Mr. Fraser appeared for the mother of the child:Mr. Clarkson appeared for the noble defendant. After a few preliminary remarks from Mr. Fraser, explaining the necessity for proceeding by way of sum monis, the mother of the child was put into the witness box. She was a respectable-looking. but rather plain young vionian of about 26 years nf age. Mary Ann Parkes, on being sworn, was asked who was the father of the child she then had in ber arms. Her, reply was George Harry Grey, E a rl o f S tamford and " Warrington. She then made the following statement:— In February; 1849, she lived at home with her father, who was a spade and iron implement manuf ac t urer , at Hyde, which was about two miles from the Hell where Lord Stamford lived. She had known his Lordship for about twenty-one years, as he used when a boy to come to her father's shop. On the 28th February, her father sent her out •to collect money. She went with A friend named Jane Lewis, and on the road :she passed. Lord Stamford, and Mr. Jerson the minister. Lord Stamford did not speak to her, then. She was out for some hours, and while looking about for her father's man, who was to see them home, his. Lordship came back alone. He spoke to her and asked her where she was going, and which way she was going home. She told him, and then went back to the Cat and Partridges, at Envill, to tell the young lass, Jane Lewis, who was stop ping there, that she would not stay any longer, and that she (Jane Lewis) was to come on after her. She had told his Lordship previously that she was going to leave a message at the Cat and Partridges public-house. She went to the bar door and she spoke to Jane Lewis, and told her she was going home up by the Hall. Lord Stam ford, during this conversation, walked on towards the Hall. She followed in the same direction and overtook his Lord.hip,who again accosted her and asked her if she was geing up that way, pointing to the road leading to the Hall. She replied she was going that way. It was her way home. His Lordship walked with her, and in a short time began very rough at her and acted very improperly. They walked up a road to the Ball, which was a public thoroughfare. It was a road leading from the vil lage of Envill to the Hall. It was then between nine and ten at night.. His Lordship put his arms round her waist and nearly pushed her down. His Lordship said if anything should occur he would provide for her and the child. His Lordship had intercourse with her in the field. Afterwards his Lordship appointed a night in the following week to meet him in the Rookery. She kept her appointment, but his Lordship did not come. Had never met his Lordship before the occurrence just mentioned. His Lordship was since married. He was then single. Had only seen his Lordship once within the last year and a half. Would positively swear that he was the father of her child. Would swear she never had intercourse with any other man than his Lordship in the course of her life. During the last week or two a good many strange persona had been sent after her to make inquiries on behalf of his Lordship. Mr. Clarkson objected to these questions. Mr. Fraser said it was necessary to put them, on ac count of the attempts which had been made by persons in the interest of Lord Stamford to Mr. Bingham here interposed, and remarked if Mr. Fraser but knew bow drily the Court confined itself to the facts of the case he would not waste any time in such observations. Mr. Bingham then suggested to Mr. Clarkson that he should postpone his cross-examination of the young woman until the corroborative proof had been heard. Jane Lewis was called—She was a single woman, living at present in Sheepscote-street, Birmingham. In the month of February last year she came on a visit to a friend at Envill, near Hyde. In consequence of this visit she became acquainted with Miss Parkes. Went with her on the 28th of February, 1849, to collect money for her father. Went out about two or three ' o'clock. Stayed out till nine or ten o'clock. Stopped at the Cat and Partridges, Erwin, to wait for the man frOm Mr. Parkes, who was to see them home. While waiting at the Cat Miss Parkes came in and said she would not wait any longer. Went to the door, and saw she was standing there with Lord Stamford. They walked away together towards the Hall, his Lordship having his arm round her waist. Witness followed them and walked behind, about thirty or forty yards. Kept them in sight for some time, but at last lost sight of them owing to a turning in the road.. - Gained sight of them again, and came up closer to them than she was aware of. Saw his Lordship and Miss Parkes together. They were lying on some kind of slanting paling. (The witness here described the situation of the parties, which was such as to afford evidence of the most direct . kind.) She drew back on seeing them in that situa tion and turned round and walked in another direction. a distance of thirty or forty yards. Saw no more until Miss Parkes joined her. Her dress teas in a very ruffled and dirty state. She was crying. Cross examined by Mr. Clarkson—Was 31 years of age. Uted to be in service until ill-health obliged her to give it up. Took in sewing work, lent did not then live with her father. This was in Wolverhampton. Miss Parkes came to her in November last, and wanted to lodge with her. She was then enciente, and wished to stay with her till her confinement was over. Had known Miss Parkes tour or five years before the visit at Envill. Miss Parkes was a single woman, had never known her to be improperly connected with any other man except Lord Stamford. Went to lodge with a per son named Hill at Wolverhampton. Miss Parkes went with her. Lodged there about five or six weeks. Miss Parkes told her she . had left ber father's house about a month or five weeks previously. Occupied a double bedded room at Mrs. Hill's. Nobody was there but wit ness, Miss Parkes, and EL little boy about four or five years of age. The little boys name was Sheridan. Had seen the little boy's father several times. Had seen him in London since the summons had been taken out against Lord Stamford. Did not see Sheridan on the day when she came with Miss Parkes to take out .he summons. Had seen Sheridan at 3, Gros venor-mews, where she lodged with Miss Parkes. Had been fetched from Birmingham by Miss Parkes about a week before the summons was taken out to give evidence of what she had witnessed. After coming to London, witness and Miss Parkes stopped at some place all night, rear the railway. Went just where it happened they could sleep. Knew Goodge-street, Tot tenham-court-road, but could not say if she stopped there the first night. Did not find Sheridan there. Had seen Sheridan only once since she came to town. He came to see Miss Parkes. Sheridan was once a police-officer —his trade was that of a plumber and glazier. Know Sheridan only from seeing him with Miss Parkes. Saw him first in November, at Wolverhampton. Never knew Sheridan to sleep with Miss Parkes either at Mrs. Hill's, or the previous lodgings. Would swear that Sheridan did not sleep night after night with Miss Parkes, at Mrs. Hill's, for witness slept in the same room with Miss Parkes. Never received any money from Sheri dan to pay lodgings. Sheridan paid no portion of the money to the doctor and midwife. Miss Parkes never went by the name of Sheridan. Miss Parkes did not go by any other name than her own at Mrs. Hill's. Sheri dan and Miss Parkes did not pass there as Mr. and Mrs. Sheridan. Sheridan's little boy was with Miss Parkes. Miss Parkes had never said she was a married woman. Miss Parkes was confined in November, at Mrs. Hill's. When witness and Miss Parkes took the lodgings at Mrs. Hill's Sheridan did not go with them. Mrs. Hill did not remonstrate with Miss Parkes for bringing a man there, nor did Miss Parkes say he was her husband. Witness was not aware of anything of the sort having been said by Mrs. Hill. Sheridan came down to Mrs. Hill's for a few minutes the first night, but not with wit ness and Miss Parkes. There was no observation made by Mrs. Hill about having knives and forks enough. Mrs. Hill went out to market, and when she returned witness was in the same room with Mary Ann Parkes. Would swear that at that time Sheridan was not in bed with Miss Parkes. When Mrs. Hill came in witness did not ask her for any coal in case anything happened during the night. Mrs. Hill recommended a person to attend Miss Parkes during her confinement, but Miss Parkes had spoken to some one previously. It was on Saturday night that the room at Mrs. Hill's was first occupied. Neither on Saturday, Sunday, nor Monday, did Sheridan sleep in the room with Miss Parkes, as her husband. One day Mr. Johnson, Miss Parkes" brother-in-law, called. Did not hear him make any observation to Miss Parkes on the subject of Sheridan being there. Did not hear Mrs. Hill tell Miss Parkes Parkss that Johnson had informed her she was n n a o me married woman. Miss Parkes went by her i g.r: Hill Mrs. ' and not by the name of Sheridan, atM_r_s' of Sheridan o t not tle Hill afterwards did complain to her coming to them.

N ever ra i d to any i ono that Sheridan was a villai n . M rs. Hill never asked when witness met with Sheridan. Ad not say she met with him at Shrewsbury. Mrs. Hill never said to her she thought they were not married. When the summons was first applied for went directly from the court to her lodgings in G rosvenor - mews. Did not go into any public•house or coffee-shop. Did not come out with a tall man and a little boy. Did not know Mrs. Matthews, the wife of the keeper of a coffee-shop in Goodge-street, where she slept with Miss Parkes. At the lodgings b e f ore t h at , i n Grosvenor-mews, Sheridan slept several nights in the same house, in another room. He came as Miss Parkes's friend. Miss Parkes paid the bills for lodgings. Did not know Sheridan's hand writing. Miss Parkes could write very well. Re-examined by Mr. Fraser —Sheridan was a married man. He married a relation of Miss Parkes. Was not aware that Sheridan had ever come with them to that court. Went with Sheridan and Miss Piano to a 147 `~G~~. 7 ~ citor, named Day, in Curzon-street. Mr. Day after wards put himself in communication with Lord Stamford. Mr. .oingham here interposed, and said a simple answer had been given to tho no;stions raised about Sheridan, noel lin less very good .evidence was produced that Sheri. den was the father oft lc child, all that had been stated abut Sh ridan wo.ed be set asid,. Mr. Eraser asked this witness how many pertens had been to see Miss Parkes recently? Mr. Clarkson objected to the question. Mr. Fraser would prove that many persons had been sent to MISS Parkes's lodging by Lord Stamford, and he would also prove that hi s L ordship had employed several Mendicity officers to— Mr. Bingham stopped the speaker, and said he had better not go into these matters. Mary Ann Parkes was then r eca ll ed, for the purpose of being cross-exam ined by Mr. Cl a rk son—Knew Sheridan, who was once a married man; but was now single. His wife was her second cousin. Went to lodge with Mrs. Hill at Wolverhampton, in November last. Went to lodge there in the name of Sheridan. Went by the name of Sheridan in order to get lodgings with the greater facility. Being in the farailyway, was told if she went by the name of Sheridan she would get lodg ings quicger. Took the lodgings of Mrs. Hill. Jan e Lewis went with her. Jane Lewis knew she assumed the name of Sheridan. Went as Mrs. Sheridan. This was in November and December. When she took the lodgings at Mrs. Hill's, Mrs. Hill remonstrated with her for bringing a man there. Told Mrs. Hill he (Sheridan) was her husband. That was on the following Monday. Sheridan came the first night. Afterwards Mrs. Hill refused to allow him to come. Did not hear Sheridan tell Mrs. Hill he was her husband. Mrs. Mill did not come into the room on the first night and find her in bed with Sheridan. Mrs. Hill did not knock at the door, and Jane Lewis did not open the door to her on the first night. It was a double-bedded room, Was delivered of a child ou Wednesday, the 28th of Mvember. The child was born nearly a week after she went to Mrs. ant' s . Would swear that Sheridan did not sleep with her at Mrs. Bill's on the Saturday, sundry, and Monday nights before the birth of the child. Mr. Johnson came to see her. lie asked her if she had that fellow Sheridan with her, for if so, he would net give her any money. Did not tell Mrs. Hill when she took the lodgings that she . was a married woman. Afterwards did say she was married, and that Sheridan was bar husband. After Mr. Johnson was called and spoken to Mrs. Hill, she came up, and in no very mild way told her she had heard she was not a mar r i e d woman. Witness, in reply, said, " Oh, yes I am." Did not say she was married at Shrewsbury. Mrs. Hill asked her to show her mar riage lines. Told her Sheridan had them in his coat pocket. Told Lewis afterwards that the marriage lines were in Sheridan's coat pocket, and that ths coat was in pledge. This was a story. On the Wednesday after she was confined Sheridan came into the room, not sober. Mr. Hill came up into the room and insisted on Sheridan leaving the house. Sheridan was not then three-parts undressed, and he did not beg for time to dress himself. Sheridan was sent out of the house that night. Had never told that the father of the child was a policeman. Did not tell Mrs. Hill she had left her . father's house with Sheridan—that he had spent all her money and pawned all her clothes. Stopped out one night when she lived at Mrs. Hill's, but eat up all night. Sheridan was not with her. Sheridan did not pay the expenses of the doctor or the lodging. She paid for all oat of her savings, which amounted to 401. when she left her father's house, and by the sale of her clothes. When she came to get out the summons with Jane Lewis, went to Grosvenor-mews. Afterwards saw Sheridan in a coffee shop opposite. Did not know he came to be there. Jane Lewis saw him, and had some coffee with us. Did not know what had become of Sheridan, had not seen him since. Sheridan had not been with her since the day she was examined at that court. On the 26th Ja nuary last witness, Sheridan, and his little boy, went out to get lodgings. Took two rooms at Mr. Matthews's house, a coffee-shop, in Goodge-street. One of the rooms was for Jane Lewis, the other for herself and baby. Sheridan was with her. He had a bed for himself and little boy, not in the same room, but in the same house. On the following Friday went to Birmingham, to fetch Jane Lewis. Returned to London the next day with Jane Lewis, and stayed in Goodge-street until the ith February. That was the day before she came to the court for a summons. Sheridan did not say it would not do to be living in the same house with her after the sum mons was obtained. Sheridan did not sleep with her either in Goodge-street or Grosvenor-mews. Had never written a letter to her father on the subject of her hus band. Never employed Sheridan to write to her father. Sheridan had written to her father, but he did so of his own accord. Re-examined by Mr. Fraser—Would swear that she never in her life had any improper intercourse with Sheridan. The reason why she went for Jane Lewis to Birmingham was because Mr. Day had told her to get her witness. Left her father's house after what had occurred with Lord Stamford, because her situation became visible, and she wished to hide her shame. Had received assistance from some part of her family. Sheridan did not go with her to live after she left her father's house. Went by the name of Sheridan because she did not wish her father to know otherwise than that she was married. She would positively swear that Sheridan never had any intercourse with her, and tat Lord Stamford was the father of her ,chili. This being the evidenee, Mr. Cientson said he could not but express his surprise at the nature and quality of the evidence. He would not :dwell on the oontra dictions between the evidence of Mary 'Ann Parkes land her witness, 'Jane Lewis;' tint he would at once proceed to disgust the court with evidence that would show, as clearly as daylight, one of the grossest, most wicked, and most unprecedented cases of conspiracy that had ever been contrived and supported by the testimony of three persons for the basest purposes. lie would, by the evidence of bins. Bill, show that Sheridan slept, eight after night, in the same bed with Mary Ann Parkes—that Mary Ann Parkes declared be was her husband, end told her father co. The tissue of gross and wicked faarications became too gross and apparent to Mr. Day, who was first applied to by these ceespiratore, and he refused to go on with the case. He would show, by the evidence of several witnesses—by the testimony of some of the Mendicity officers, how these three per sons had been living and conspiring together since they came to London; and ho would prove that the connexion was only suspended from the time when the magistrate grented a summons against Lord Stamford. He would prove that Mary Ann Parkes and Sheridan bad been living and cohabiting together at various places. Ile would prove foul aad deliberate perjury against Mary Ann Parkes and Jane Lewis; but if he failed to do so, then he must leave the court to take what further pro- She lived at Wolverhamp ton. Her husband was James Hill, a loalcsmith. On the 7th December Mary Ann Parkes inquired for lodg ings. She was then largo in the familyway. Jane Lewis come with her. Let two beds in one room to them. After they took the lodgings they went out and brought in a man and a little boy. Objected to this, end Mary Ann Perkes said he is my husband —be will not trouble you much; his business lies at Birkenhead, and he is only here for a night or two. He said, lam her husband. The man's name was Sheridan, and Mary Ann Parkes went by his name as his wife. Went out to buy some knives; when she returned she went up to the new lodgers' room to give them the knives, and knocked at the door, which was opened by Jane Lewis; stepped into the room about n yard or two, and saw Sheridan in bed with Mary Ann Parkes. Saw Iteri dan and Mary Ann Pathos twice together in bed after this. Sheridan slept with Mary Ann Parkes on the Saturday, the Sunday, and the Monday nights. After hearing that Mary Ann Fatima was not married she refute ato admit Sheridan any more. The child was born on the Wednesday following. Sheridan was in the house that eight lying on a sofa in the kitchen. Mr. Johnson called to see Mary Ann Parkes. After his visit she Lamed Mary Ann Parkes was not married. Asked Mary Ann Parkes to show her marriage lines. She said her husband had them in his coat, and leis coat was pawned. Sheridan was obligsd to leave the house by her husband, who went up stairs and found him nearly undressed, about to get into Mary Ann Parkes's bed. On cross-examinatien by Mr. Fraser nothing material was elicited, exceprihat witness's husband was not at present in work, and that some professional persons had been down to see her from London on the subject of the summons against Lend Stamford.

Mr. Bingham said the Act of Parliament did not per mit him to hear Mr. Frazer in reply, but from the re butting evidence that bad been produced, he must decide there was an end of the case, and the only thing that now caused him any doubt was, whether he ought not to order the two women, Mary Ann Parkes and Jane Lewis, into custody for perjury.
