HALL protested against the'i3ill, on the ground that the board would be composed of too numerous and expensive a body of officials. He hoped that next year the Government would introduce a Bill to infuse the representative principle into the management of the Commission. Mr. WAKLEY was against a barrister being ap pointed to preside at the head of the Commission. le e thought some eminent engineer would be more fitted for the post. After a few words from Mr. B. OSBORNE and the Ceteecznnoa of the EXCHEQUER, the Bill was read a third time and passed. METROPOLITAN INTERMENT BILL. On clause 1 being proposed for granting 130,0001. to the Board of Health for purchasing existing cemeteries. Mr. B. OSBORNE opposed granting that sum to a commission, which he locked u?on as one of the greatest nuisances in the country. If the clause were acceded to, he believed that the country would to involved by next year in an expecse amounting to half a million of money. Mr. Chadwick, who was at the head of the Commission, grasped at everything within his reach, and like Mr. Barry, the architect, made all connected with him subservient to his own views and purposes. Mr. WAKLEY said the Hon. Member should recol lect that a medical gentleman was a member of the board, and that medical men were always aealous and attentive in the discharge of public duties.—(A laugh.) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER re minded the Hon. Member that when cemeteries and burial-grounds were closed, it was absolutely necessary that others should be provided, and in order to purchase them money was required. This was merely a tempo rar y advance, and would not be repeated. Mr. J. BELL objected to giving so large an advance to the Board of Health. It was a mere speculative joint stock company, in whose hands large sums of money were to be placed without any check or control whatever. Mr. B. OSBORNE thought the whole Bill looked very much like a job; and if he had any chance of getting a respectable number of Members to vote he should divide against the clause. After some further discussion the clause was agreed to. The other clauses and the preamble were also passed. On the motion for reporting the Bill, Mr. BELL intimated that next session ho should bring the whole question of metropolitan interments under their consideration. Mr. W. WILLIAMS hoped the public would under stand that those who opposed this Bill were not averse to the c l os i ng o f t h e b ur i a l- gro unds of the metropoli s , but they what the obected to was tbo pur chase of ce m o. terie s wi t h the Bill, . public money, in the manner p ro p osed by Sir a HALL thought it the Bill once further delay, h snore and in order to do so . without any motion for rejectingshould divide the Committee on the the Bill.

PETTY SESSIONS (IRELAND) BILL. The House then went into Committee rlimcn on this Bill. Mr. SCULLY urged the Govt. t not to proceed f ur ther with this all, and moved that the Chairman do now leave the chair. Sir R. FERGUSON also thought it was a waste of time to go on with the Bid. Lord NAAS, on the other hand, hoped Government would persevere with the Bill. Sir W. SOMERVILLE declined to accede to th e appeal which had been made to him, and insisted that the Bill was one of great importance to Ireland, while , its principle had been twice adopted, once last year and once this. Mr. M'CULLAGII retorted that the adoption w as agreed to without discussion, and he therefore contended that the Bill ought to be delayed for another session. Mr. CONOLLY was favourable to proceeding with the Bill. Mr. B. OSBORNE thought on public grounds one magistrate was not sufficient to adjudicate in the cases , which this Bill provided for. Si? li. W. BARRON was a supporter of the one ma- I gitrat e clause, becauseit would assist the poor win in obtaininge justice.

At Pisa there lived in latter years a "fast" young man, whose morals were something like the celebrated lean jug tower, a little inclined the wrong way, and who, among other escapades, had caused a great scandal in a respectable family, and refused to repair it by marriage, according to the prayers of the victim and the com mands ot the Church. The gentleman was, in fact, a regular makvais sotjet, a fit subject for a French novel, and he went on from day to day, strutting along the banks of the Arno, and perverting all the foolish maids of that not over-religious vicinity, neither attending to the advice of his friends or the remon strances of the clergy, till sickness overtook him in the midst of his sins, and death struck him with its most mortal arrow. Scapegrace as ho was, he declined the consolations of religion in his last days, and refused to C onfess or repent, like another Don Giovanni. In vain an excellent and pious priest spoke of his immortal soul and the penalties prepared in the other world for those who take leave of this in final impenitence— in vain did the friars declare that the Devil would claim him as his own the moment the last sigh was drawn—and in vain did one of the reverend gentlemen recount how in a vision he saw his Infernal Majesty maltreat a hardened sinner ou a similar occasion. Don Giovanni died game, as the g rea t es t cr i m inals often do, bat before he gave up the ghost he made one of his friends, a Corsican resident at Pisa, promise that he would watch over the body in the Chapelle Mortuaire, was consigned to it s last kept t phis word, an d a l one an d i n h an om d e. never lh leave the dead of the night he sat by the side of hi s d eparte d friend in the convent chapel , where corpses a re expose d e Corsiictan un til for twenty-four boars before burial, either in conse crated or unconsecrated ground. But just as the clock struck twelve a deep groan, accompanied by the rattling of chains, was heard, and the watcher to his horror saw a figure enter, dressed according to the most approved receipt for fitting up a devil, with tremendous horns, a long tail, a chain girt round his body, and draped in red and black, as his Satanic Majesty should be. The Corsican had a bold heart, and he asked the Devil what he wanted. The Devil replied by an awful groan, the rattling of chains, and the outspreading of his claws to seize his prey. The Corsican, still un daunted, declared that he would not allow the body to be touched, and he warned the Devil that if he did not leave the place he would send hire back to his infernal regions later than ho came from them. To this speech the Devil replied by a scornful leugh,*such as Z :re i e l i n D er Freischut Z used, and with another rattle of the chains advanced to the coffin-side ; on which the faithful friend produced a loaded pistol, FRENCH RAILWAY TRAFFIC.

FARREN. The plaintiff in this action is Mr. H. Leo, the light comedian, who sought to recover from the defendant. Mr. W. Farren, the respected lessee of the Olympic Theatre, the sum t)f 10/, under the following circum stances. Mr. Lewis, of Ely-place, appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Herring, of Lisson-grove, for the defendant. The case occupied some hours, but a condensed ac count will suffice. The plaintiff stated that on Easter Monday last be was engaged by the defendant to perform " characters," at a salary of 21. per week. The first part he took was that of Sir Roger de Covorley, then the Bottle Imp, Ro chester, in Charles the Second, the Marquis, in Faint Heart Never Won Fair Lady, &v. He went on very well, and with apparent satisfaction to the management, till Wednesday, the 2d instant, when, being requested to take the subordinate part of Captain Gervais, the first officer of Sir E. Bulwer Lytton's play of the Lady of Lyons, he indignantly refused, and was immediately dis missed, 1/. being offered him for three nights' services from the Saturday, on which night an engagement com mences from, and which ho would not accept, as he thought he was entitled to his 2/. for the current week, and 81., a month's salary, in lieu of a month's notice. For these amounts he now had instituted the present proceedings. Mr. John Richard Smitb, an actor of 59 years' stand ing, said he was the original Bottle Imp, and from his experience, thought the man who played such a part would lower himself by acting as Captain Gervais, which ought only to be appointed to what were termed "utility men," or men who did anything.—(Laughter.) Mr. Attwood, who styled himself an "Old Actor," coincided with the last witness. What was termed a " utility man" was not even on a footing with a walking gentleman.—(Laughter.) JUDGE—What is a walking gentleman? Mr. Smith —Perhaps, from my long experience, I can tell your Honour, if Mr. Attwood will allow me. It is a distinct line of character frequently performed by the plaintiff; sand represents a devout lover and a well-dressed young man.—(Laughter.) His Hoxona here observed that no evidence was brought forward of any specific arrangement between the plaintiff and defendant, and ho could not even give judgment for the 11. alleged to have been offered. With- t but, therefore, calling upon Mr. Herring to reply, he i should give judgment in favour of his client, with eo order upon the plaintiff for the costs of his attorney, Ora.RAWs.—From July 14 to July 20 ; Passengers, 91,772 F. ; goods, 102,278 f.; total, 197,050 f.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME ClRCUlT.—Maidstone, July 30. _ _ _ men, whom he passed. Scarcely had be got 15 paces from them, when he felt a sudden pressure on his throat, which was squee zed tightly by the arm of a man from behind; another man stood in front of him, and as the strangling immediately disabled him he was liked from the ground and flung down with some violence, the man in front robbing him of his watch and guard at the same instant. On recovering his senses he rose, and shouted, " Stop thief." The parties took to flight, but were both pursued by two other young men who chanced to be on the road at the time. Neither of them overtook the parties, but all three seem to have kept one of them (Beardmore) in view during the whole of the flight. A policeman named Cherry, attracted by the shouting, caught Beardmore, who was immediately re cognized by the prosecutor as one of the men whom he had passed just before he was robbed. The other pri soner escaped, but two witnesses (Germans), one of whom met him with Beardmore on the road a few minutes be fore the robbery, and the other, a musician, who was Beardmore's mistress, who deposed to his having made anxious inquiries after " her chap" about twelve o'clock on that night, and to having expressed a fear that he was apprehended, satisfied the jury that the parties really engaged were the prisoners. Bloor on the next day changed his clothes, and made some false statements to the police•superintendent at Hanky, which on cross examination of the superintendent he (Bloor) now at tempted to deny. His LoRDSELIP briefly addressed the jury, who found the prisoners Guilty. A policeman and a woman having given the prisoners a good character, The JUDGE said that but for their character he would have imposed a very severe sentence on them. He now ordered them to be imprisoned for twelve calendar months, with bard labour. CROWN SIDE.--(Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON.) Edward IV ood, 27, was indicted under the new statute of Lord Campbell, for being found at night with skeleton keys and other housebreaking instruments in his possession, with intent to commit felony. Mr. Deedes prosecuted. It appeared that a police constable, who was acquainted with the prisoner, took him into custody at Bearshead under suspicious circumstances, and a quantity of skele ton keys and a crowbar were found in his possession, there being very little doubt that he was out upon some housebreaking expedition. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and a previous conviction for felony being proved against him, he was sentenced to be transported for ten years. John Bowden, 22, pleaded guilty to a charge of feloni ously setting fire to a stack of wheat, value 1701., and be was sentenced to be transported for ton years. CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Chief Justice JERVIS and a Common Jury.) KINGSFORD V. DYE. _ This was an action to recover damages from the de feenda❑t, for the breach of his promise to marry the plaintiff. Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. Needham, were counsel for the plaintiff; Sergeant Sbee was for the de fendant. Mr. CHAMBERS, in opening the care, said that the plaintiff, Mra. Sophia Kingaford, had been compelled to bring the present action against the defendant in order to recover damages from him for very serious miscon duct, in having deliberately broken a solemn engage ment he had made to marry her. It was his duty to inform the jury that neither of the parties in the cause were young—on the contrary, they were both at a somewhat advanced period of life, the defendant being the older of the two; but it appeared to him that this was rather in aggravation of the defendant's misconduct than other wise. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to state the facts of the case. It appeared that the plaintiff was a person in humble circumstances. She was a widow, living with her daughter, who kept a chandler's shop at Deptford, and the defendant lived near her at the house of his brother. He paid her attention during the year 1850, and at length made her a formal written promise of marriage ; but as he was at that time dependent on his brother, it was considered pru dent by both parties that the marriage should not take place until the death of the defendant's brother, from whom he had the expectation of receiving some con siderable property. The brother died in the month of October, 1850, and, as the defendant anticipated upon that event taking place, he came into possession of all the property that belonged to him, and he still continued biz attentions to the plaintiff, and repeated his promise to marry her; but on account of the death of his brother, and also the death of a sister of the defendant, it was considered right to postpone the ceremony for a certain time. The defendant, however, still continued his at tentions to the plaintiff, and in March of the present year he expressed his intentio❑ to go to Norwich for a short time, and said that at his return the marriage should take place. He went away accordingly, and, to the as tonishment of the plaintiff, it appeared that on the 13th of that month be married a Miss Mary Nicholls, and shortly afterwards brought her home to Deptford, where ho took up his residence with his wife, close to the plaintiff. The Learned Counsel, in conclusion, said that it was under these circumstances the present action was brought. Ho did net put the case as one of blighted affections or disappointed hopes, but he did say that, the defendant had grossly misconducted himself towards the plaintiff, and that she was entitled to cempensation for the injury the had sustained by the defendant failing to per form the promise he had made to her. Witnesses were then examined, who made out the case as stated by the Learned Counsel for the plaintiff. It appeared upon the cross-examination of some of the witnesses that the plaintiff was at least fifty-five years old, and the defendant was sixty, and that cvhen the parties first became acquainted he was living with his brother as servant of all work, and was in very humble circumstances, and it was evident that both parties con sidered the marriage ought net to take place until the condition of the cietendaut should be improved by the death of his brother. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Robert Johnson, a Scotch lad, was brought before Mr. Hardwick, charged with attempting to pick pockets at the Great Exhibition in Hyde-park. Police-constable Capping, H 379, said he was on duty at the Exhibition yesterday afternoon about five o'clock, when he saw the prisoner, in the south gallery, put his hand to a lady's pocket. The prisoner soon afterwards went and stood by a gentleman and put his hand into the gentleman's pocket and drew his handkerchief nearly out. Witness went forward and took the prisoner into custody. The prisoner protested his innocence. He had only come from Scotland with his father, who was a baker, about a week ago. He was looking at the articles in the Exhibition when he saw a gentleman's handkerchief partly hanging out of his pocket, and he touched the gentleman fur the purpose of drawing his attention to the circumstance, when the constable came to him and took him into custody. The constable was positive that he saw the prisoner attempt to steal the handkerchief. He had seen the prisoner about the Exhibition, on the outside, a day or two previously. Mr. HARDWICK sent him to prison for three months. After the prisoner was removed to the lock-up cells information was given to the gaoler, Parkin, that the prisoner was attempting suicide. On entering the cell the prisoner was discovered in a sta e of strangulation. He had tied one end of his handkerchief to his root and the other round his neck, and had drawn the noose so tight that he must have died bad not the gaoler made his appearance. The handkerchief was taken away and the prisoner, after being brought to, was left. In a short time afterwards an alarm was given that the prisoner was a second time attempting to destroy him self. Oa entering the cell the prisoner was found with his braces round his throat, nearly strangled. The gaoler was informed that the prisoner had offered a lad who was in the cell with him 4d. for a clasp knife to cut his throat with. Parkin reported the circumstance of those repeated attempts at sell-destruction to Mr. Hardwick, who, atter sending for a medical gentleman, decided upon requiring the attendance of the lad's father, iu order to ascertain his previous character and conduct. The prisoner was remanded for that purpose. W ORS HIP-STREET. Edward Jones, a tall, powerful man, described as a hawker, was placed at the bar before Mr. Arnold, charged with cutting and wounding James Bates, with intent to murder him. The prosecutor, who appeared to be greatly debilitated from loss of blood, stated that the prisoner had for some time past entertained the most hostile feelings towards him, in consequence of some previous transaction con nected with his wife. On Sunday last he accidently met him, and was then warned by the prisoner that he had better prepare himself; as he had resolved to murder him before two days had passed over. He took no heed of the threat at the time, but while seated that morning in front of one of the houses in Red Lion-court. Kingslaed road, the prisoner suddenly rushed upon him with the observation, " Now you are my victim," and raising his hand, in which he held some bright instrument, made a violent stab at his right breast. He succeeded by a rapid movement in partially evading the blow, but was instantly seized by the prisoner, who dragged him along the ground by the hair of his head, and repeatedly stabbed him in the back, declaring, with an oath, that he would kill him on the spot. He was at length rescued by some of the bystanders and conveyed to the residence of a medical gentleman, where it was ascertained that he had fortunately escaped with only one wound, although his clothing had been com pletely cut through in several places. Inspector Pascoe, of the N division, stated that the prisoner was given into his custody, and upon acquaint ing him with the nature of the charge he observed that the prosecutor had occasioned him constant misery for the last three years, and that he regretted the weapon had not gone through his heart. The inspector pro duced a large pair of pointed shears, used by tailors in their trade, which he received from a person in the crowd, who had picked them up near the spot, and stated them to be the instrument with which the injury had been inflicted. Mr. George Coward, the divisional police surgeon, stated, that upon examining the prosecutor he found that, in addition to an abrasion upon the lett breast, he had received a triangular punctured wound beneath the left shoulder blade, from which he must have lost a consi derable quantity of blood, and that he considered the points of the shears now produced were calculated to produce such an injury. The prisoner declined offering anything in answer to the charge, and was ordered to be remanded until the ultimate result of his violence could be ascertained. A middle aged man named George Edwards was charged with an assault of an aggravated aua indelicate description, in Victoria-park, upon a girl named Martha Davis, 13 years of age. The case was conclusively established by the evidence of the prosecute ix and two other witnesses, but the facts were of too gross a nature to admit of publication; and the prisoner, who pleaded intoxication as an excuse for his conduct, was ordered to pay a penalty of 51., or to be committed in default for two months to the House of Correction; in addition to which he was ordered to pro vide substantial bail for his -good behaviour for the suc ceeding four months. The prisoner could not procure the penalty by the close of the court, and was therefore transferred to prison in the van. Sergeant SHEE made a most humourous speech to the jury on behalf of the defendant. lie said it was a very rare occurrence for parties of the respective ages of fifty-five and sixty to come into a court of justice and ask for damages for a breach of promise of this description, and if juries were to sanction such actions by giving damages, ho was afraid that the time of the courts would be wholly taken up with them. He must confess that the present case put him iu mind of a story he had read of a gentleman who, having fixed his marriage day, made arrangements to have all the proceedings of the marriage carried on in the guise of a funeral.—(A laugh.) There was a hearse, mourning coaches, and mutes, and when the bridal party left the church after the ceremony the first thing that met their eyes was a newly-made grave. It was clear that in the present instance the plaintiff was not to be " made happy," as the de'enciant expressed it, in one of his letters, until the death of his brother, and the marriage was only to succeed the fune ral; and in all the love whisperings that took piece be tween this old boy of 60 and the young lady of 55, the consent to marry was only given, "when brother should be dead."—(Laughter.) Lie did not deny that there had been a promise to marry made by the defendant, but what injury had the defendant really sustained by the breach of this promise? To talk of affection bet we. , n the parties under these circumstances was perfectly ridi- culous, and as to the loss of any benefit that would arise to the plaintiff from the property that came into the pos session of the defendant at the death of his brother, they should not forget that if she was to have the money she must have had the old man as well.—(A laugh.) The CHIEF JUSTICE—Don't use too hard terms, bro ther Shoe. He is only sixty.— (Renewed laughter.) Sergeant SHEE proceeded—He was not aware of any peculiar advantages appertaining to the age of sixty, al though he hoped he should i❑ time attain that knowledge. —(A laugh.) It was said that a young man married t,,r a mistress, a middle-aged one for a companion, and an old man for a nurse; and it appeared to him that all this hearty old widow of fifty-five, with five young children and a chandler's shop, could have expected from an union with the defendant, was to have to nurse him after the expiration of a very short period of time. The CHIEF JUSTICE briefly summed up, and the jury returned a verdict tor the plaintiff.—Damages, 401. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—DurIzanz, July 29. NISI PRIUS COURT.—(Before Mr. Jubtic© WILLIAMS and a Special Jury.) SMEPHERD O. THE MARQUIS OF LONDONDERRY. This was an action of replevin brought to try the right to the tithes of the rectory of St. Giles's, Durham, which were claimed by the defendant in right of his wife, as the lay rector. The plaintiff complained that his cattle had been seized for a tithe.rent charge, not payable to the cl+ fendant end not in arreer, he being tenant to a Mr. Oving ton, to whom he alleged the tithes of his land belonged. Mr. Knowles, Q.C., Mr. Atherton, Q.C., and Mr. Jones appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Watson, Q.C., and Mr. Manisty for the defendant. It appeared from the opening of the Learned Counsel for the defendant, who had the right to begin, that the rectories of St. Giles and St. Nicholas, formerly part of the monastery of Kepier, at Durham, at the Reformation were leased for twenty one y ears by Henry VIII. to one John Franklin; that afterwards, in the sixth year of the reign of Edward VI, they were granted by the Crown to John Lord Orrneston and his heirs, and by him granted, in 1554, to one John Heath, the ancestor of the present Marchioness of Londonderry. By a subsequent marriage settlement in 1642, made in contemplation of marriage between John Tempest, the son of Sir Thomas Tempest, Attorney-General for Ireland, and Elisabeth Heath, the granddaughter of that John Heath, the rectories and all the tithes were settled on them and their issue, and were again settled on the marriage of a descendant of that John Tempest with Elizabeth Sudbury, niece of the Dean of Durham, in 1677. In 1703 another settlement in contemplation of marriage was made, but the lease only was put in (the release being lost), by which the rectories and tithes were given to persons named White and Nicholson, who, the defendant contended, were trustees of the settlement. A descendant of these Tempests was married to a Dr. Henry Vane, and his descendant Sir Harry Vane mar ried, in 1794, Ann Catherine Countess of Antrim, and on their daughter, the present Marchioness of London derry (married to the defendant in 1819), descended these rectories and the right to tho tithes. In IEI6 a private inclosure Act was passed, enabling Gillygate Moor to be enclosed, and the burgage tenants of Gilly gate, or St. Giles, in Durham, in respect of their rights of common, became entitled to allotments of the moor under that Act, which became liable to tithes in the same right as the tenements in respect of which they were claimed. Mr. Robert Ovington, one of these tenants, had allotted to him eight acres and two roods of this moor, and it was in respect of the tithe of this allot went, seized from his tenant, that the present action was brought. For the plaintiff it was objected that the right to the tithes was shown to be in White and Nicholson, and was never after traced to th e ancestors of the Marchioness of Londonderry, and that the identity of the Tempests as descendants of the first Tempest entitled to the tithes was not satisfactorily established. These objections having been overruled, Mr. KNOWLES contended that the deed of 1706 being the last deed that showed title in the tithes, and all sub sequent deeds having been silent about them, and none having been received till 1829, and then only extorted under threats of a Chancery suit, a tithe composition must be presumed, and the Heaths, or some of their dcseendants, must be presumed to have conveyed away their right to the tithes. In support of this view he put in a conveyance of the tithes of four of the burgage tene ments to the owners thereof by one of the Heaths. . Mr. WATSON' having replied, His LORDSHIP directed the jury that they must have some pobitive evidence other than mere non-reception of tithes to enable them to presume the tithes to have been conveyed away. The jury, after a few minutes' consideration, found a verdict for the defendant. Leave was then given to move the Court above on some points reserved. In the Crown Court a number of ordinary sessions cases of scarcely local interest were disposed of in the course of the day. The criminal business is expected to be got through to-morrow. OXFORD CHlCUlT.—Statford, July 28. CROWN COURT. Chug; les Beardmore and Edward Bloor were indicted for a highway robbery on James Brothers, at Hanley. Mr. Kenealy prosecuted.

Mrs. Mary Ann Thompson, a respectable married lady , residing in Walcot-square, Lambeth, deposed that on that morning herself, her daughter, her niece, and a gentleman, a friend of theirs, returned from a party in a cab, and requested the driver to put them down at the Ship Tavern, in the Princes' - r oad, which is close to her residence. The moment herself and her niece got out of the vehicle, they were surrounded by three persons, one of whom was the prisoner, and the latter made use of an offensive and disgusting expression, and her niece, who was close to her, and to whom the expression wa s addressed, raised her hand for the purpose of pushing him away , u p on which the prisoner instantly knocked her down. Ho also struck her three or four times in the most violent manner, and with his clenched fist, while she was on the ground. Witness, in endeavouring to protect her niece received a violent blow on the nose, which caused her to bleed a considerable quan tity, and her dress was completely destroyed. She was struck by the prisoner and one of his friends, and if the police had not come up so opportunely she did not know what the consequence might have been. Her niece was so ill from the effects of the injuries she had received, that she was unable to attend. The first blow the pri soner gave her was on the face, and he subsequently struck her repeatedly on the face, and cut her right eye. Her niece, however, did not wish to press the charge, and would be satisfied by the prisoner begging Pardon for his conduct. On her cross-examination by Mr. Games, the witness said she was quite certain the prisoner was the person who had struck her niece in the manner she had de scribed. Mr. NORTON desired that the prisoner might be de tained, and an officer sent fur a medical certificate, as to the state of the injured party. In a short ti me after, the lady, Miss Elizabeth Couch man, entered the court, and said that, though very weak from the brutal treatment she had 6' xporienced, and the loss of blood, she was still enabled to give her evidence. Her right eye was dreadfully swollen and black, and her countenance bore evident proofs of the brutal treatment she had experienced. After confirming the greater part of the testimony of her au nt, she s aid the first blow given to her by the prisoner knocked her down, and on partially raising herself from the ground, ho struck her a violent blow on the eye, and laid her prostrate. He also struca her several other blows, so that at one time she became quite insensible. Her sufferings were very severe from the effects of the injuries she received, but still as she feared that the prisoner was a respectable Person she did not wish t o p ress t h e c harge severely against him. In reply to a question from the Magistrate, Miss Couchinan said that the prisoner had attempted to strike her with the hooked end of the can produced, and which hook was compost's! of German silver. Mrs. Thompson here informed the Magistrate that the gentleman who had accompanied her nod her niece the night before was enfortunately compelled to go out of torn early that morning, or he would have attended as win: l E 6 i. She hoped, however, that this was not neces sary, as it was not her wish, nor that of her niece, to press the charge. Mr. Games begged to tender, or_ the part of his client, his deep obligation for their kindness and mercy. He also begged, be said, to express, on the part of his client, his heartfelt regret tit his conduct, and for which ho could not offer even the slightest extenuation. Mr. NORTON remarked that the outrage was of so se- Hops a character, that it was his intention to have see the prisoner for trial, and should do so still, unless parti cularly called on by the lathes who had been so grossly injured not to do so. Both Miss Couchman and Mrs. Thompson expressed their unwillingness to press the matter further, and Mr. Nor.roN convicted the prisoner in the penalty of 5/ , or two months, for the assault. The penalty was at once paid, and Mr. GEKI2OI3 undtr took that the ladies, who had behaved so kindly to his client, should have the full value of the injuri.es. their apparel had sustained.
