giftb Ebition SUN OFFICE, Seven o'Clock. GERMANY. The Government of the Duchy of Gotha has pro posed an arrangement of a question that has for some time been pending. between the Executive and the Chamber, the determining which of the Ducal do mains are to be considered State property, and liable to be charged for the State debts, and which are the private property of the reigning family. Hitherto this has been uncertain, and legal questions of much difficulty have eiseti from the dispute. The Govern ment proposes an agreement between the reigning Duke, Prince Albert, and the other members of the Ducal }Wise on the one side, and the Chamber of Deputies of Gotha - on the other, with respect to what are called the Kammer properties and the Do main properties. It is suggested that they shall be elivided into two portions, one of which is to be de clared free from debt and inalienable, and made an entail, as the property of the Ducal family; the other portion to be set apart distinctly as State property. The family property will, according to this plan, consist of certain forests and landed estates, which have hitherto brought in an income of 100,000 thalers, and various gardens, plensure grounds, and collections of objects of art and science. From the revenue of the entailed domains is to be defrayed the cost of the Court, the allowances of the Princes, the salary of the persons in the private service of the Duke, and the expenses of a Regent, should a representative of the Duke be necessary; tha various chateaux, houses, and grounds are also to be kept in repair from the same revenue. The whole amount of the public debt is to be made a charge on the State dominions, which are besides to pay a contribution of 24,475 thalers to the Ducal House. In 1848 the State and family domains were united, and in 1849 were declared col lectively to be the property of the State. Against this declaration, however, the egnates of the family protested, and the legal difficulties that consequently arose have led to the arrangement now suggested. DENMARK. In the last sitting of the Chamber, the President of the Council communicated to the Deputies the change in the Ministry. The President of the Chamber af?eirwards stated he had received an official notification of the intention of the Government to lay before the Assembly, at the latest by the end of the week, a statement of the poltical position of the country. M. Hauten had given notice of an inter pellation on the subject ; but on an appeal from the President, and in consideration that an official state ment would so shortly be made, he withdrew it. M. Hausen asked if the report would be read in a public sitting ; the President of the Council said the Cabinet would come to a decision on the point before the report was made.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRES AT 111ANGIIESTER, A fire broke out on Saturday evening, about half-past seven o'clock, in the works of Mrs. Scholefield, dyer, tee., of Cornbrook, Hulme, and did damage to the extent of between 2,0001. and 3,0001. before it was extinct. :The violence of the destructive element was confined mainly to a portion of the works in which it was first seen, cc cupied as a store—a part of dyers' premises which is usually, as in this instance, totally destroyed when once ignited, from the dry and combustible character of the materials it contains. The fire burnt very fiercely at first, but the great exertions made by a body of the 16th Lanterns, who went with a small engine from their bar racks near at hand, kept it within check until the larger force of the town engines arrived, and opened play upon the burning buildings. Tb,) conjoint efforts of the fire brigade and the military soon reduced the limits of ex tension, and in a comparatively abort space of time the dimes were got under. One large building was en tirely destroyed, and two others were injured.. The loss amounting, as we have said, to between 2,0001. and 3.000/.. is covered by insurance in the %Vest of England office. The origin of the fire is unknown.—On Sunday morning, about half-past nine o'clock, a fire was disco vered on the premises of Messrs. Wren and Hop kinson, machine makers and millwrights of Altrincham street, and information having been conveyed to the police-yard, Mr. Rose started off with an engine and a body of men, the rest of the brigade, just come from the other fire, and their engines following. They found a three-story building, used as a pattern room, in fhines, and burning with much fury. from the dryness of the property stored in it. Three engines were got into play, and four jets from high pressure mains, and the torrents poured by them into the building at different points proved very effectual in quenching what had ignited, and saving what appeared to be likely to catch. The building in which the fire broke out was completely destroyed, with its contents—valuable patterns of ma chinery, which had been accumulated during a business of thirty years. The damage altogether will be from 3,000/. to 4,000/. The owners are insured in the Atlas, Sun, and Legal and Commercial offices, to the amount of 2,3001., and the firm will be considerable losers. The origin of the fire is not ascertained; the workmen were on the premises until about midnight on Saturday finishing some work, but not in the pattern rooms, and the porter left all right when he locked up after them. MRS. "BLOOMER" KNIGHT IN BATII. Mrs. Knight, it must be confessed, was very coy in exhibiting the new costume. Immediately on her en., trance she took refuge behind the table and its cloth, and, notwithstanding repeated invitations, never ven tured beyond its precincts during the lecture. On its close, however, she did step on one side, and revealed the new costume— " Like snow upon the river, One moment seen, then gone for ever." The momentary glance with which the audience were favoured excited a very unfavourable impression, and an unmistakeable fit of laughter, which followed the Bloomers as they made their exit, still keeping under cover of the table. As far as could be discovered, the dress consisted of a " Jim Crow" hat, laced with rib bons, a neckerchief, turn-down collar, jacket, and the pantilettes, the latter most ugly, odious, things. Has the reader ever seen fishermen clad in those boots in which they clothe themselves up to the waist? Well, then, if he imagine their huge, stiff, hard folds, rendered more prominent by a ligature at the uncle, he will have some idea of the Bloomer, as first exhibited in our fashion able city. It was, in truth, a man's dress womanified; there was all the ungratefulness of the one with the tawdriness of the other. There was nothing of the smartness of the French cantiniere, or the gracefulness of the Greek costume; and truth compels us to add, that the audience separated thinking much worse of Bloomerism time they did before they saw it.—Bath Chronicle. THE IRON TRADE or MERTIIYR.—We hear, from good authority, that Mr. Stephenson, the chief engineer of the Alexandria and Cairo Railway, has just concluded two contracts with our ironmasters —one with Sir J. Guest, Bart., for 5,000 tons of rail, at 51. per ton ; and another with Alder man Thompson, for the same amount of rails, at 51. 2s. 6d. per ton. Other orders to a large amount are rumoured to have been received by the other principal ironmasters of the district.— Cambrian. THE THAMES HAVEN DOCK.—Among the local Acts of last session was one to extend for the term of three years the completion of the Thames Haven Dock and Rail way. The purchase of land is extend e d t o J u l y next, and compensation is to be given to the owners of property for such extension. A NEW FEMALE REVOLUTION.—A singular female pronunciainento has just taken place at Geneva, where the milk-women have sought to cause, by revolutionary means, an increase in the price of their commodity. They promenaded their donkeys, dressed in mourning, through the streets, stopping from time to time, to read a placard, pro claiming that the measure of milk would henceforth be sc. instead of 4c. PILOT COURT AT DOVER.—The Duke of Welling ton, as Warden, held last week, at Dover, a court of load manage in St. James's church, and after that a pilots' court, for the purpose of electing a new master in the room of Mr. Peake, who retires (80 years old), after having held the office many years. Mr. Austin was elected. New wardens were also appointed; eighteen younger pilots were elected in place of many elder ones, who are superannuated. This 15 infusing new blood into the fellowship.

It appeared, from a st Y ate o f ment that was made, that there are at present 3,000 omnibuses plying on the streets, the cost of which had been 300,0001. Each of them had ten horses attached, the value of which in the gross was also 3 00.000/. The harnesses were wo rth 60,0001. ; and I 3 unaries being taken at 2 0001,, th e total of ca p ital iaeated amounted to 962,0001. The number of driver s and conductors employed was 6,000; of horse keepers, 3,000; and " odd men," that is persons oc crsio 11 11,00 n o a p Y ers ernployed, was 2,000; making a total of o f Lo nc i on. ", l 3 daily employed in the omnibus traffic each omnibus he number of persons conveyed by 2,000 per we day was calculated to be 300, or number of whic hwould • p ersons give, as the total running, no less conveyed in all the omnibuses a week, an d Ab a Lumber than ' “n six millions nt three bilhdred millions LONDON, a year. It was urged that something ought to be done for the men who were in fact the active servants of these numerous passengers, who for 16 hours a day drove between 60 and 70 miles, so as to enable them to obtain some of the comforts of social and family life. A very strong description of the hardships aris ing from continuous labour and perpetual absence from their homes was given by Mr. Scully, a working man. He also stated numerous cases of confirmed constitutional illness in this class of men, produced by the hardships they went through. He urged the utter impossibility of these men being able to make any provision for themselves in sickness, or for their families after their deaths. He placed before the meeting the claims of an institution which had been established, called the "Metropolitan Omnibus Servants Society," and expressed a hope that a school for tha children of omnibus conductors and drivers would be established. _ _ . The statements of Mr. Scully were corroborated by a timekeeper of one of the City omnibuses. After several other addresses, it was arranged that another meeting Eho ul d take place next week at Mr. Hamilton's school-room, in order to make arrange• ments for a general meeting on the subject. DARING BURGLARY. A brutal attack was made on Friday last at the re sidence of a very respectable couple, Mr. Fairley and his wife, natives of Scotland. Mr. Fairley has been a farming bailiff in Cambridgeshire and Huntingdon shire for many years, and has lately had the manage ment of large farms, the property of R. 11. Hussey, Esq., and lives at the Holborn Farm, situate about a mile from Upwood, and about the same distance from Wiston and Great Ravely. About eleven o'clock on Friday, the 24th instant, Mr. Fairley heard footsteps near his house; he immediately seized his fire-arms (a horse-pistol and a revolver), and told the robbers, whom he saw through his bedroom window, that he would shoot them if they attempted to enter. The robbers immediately smashed the shutters and glass of the parlour window, and also the back door. Mr. Fairley stationed himself at his bedroom door, at the top of the stairs, and waited the approach of the robbers, who had now got lights, and seemed very cautious. Mr. Fairley aimed at one with his horse pistol, which unfortunately missed fire. He then took his revolver, and, whenever he got sight of any of the robbers, fired at them, and they in return fired at him. Mr. Fairley fought the robbers for upwards of an hour, his wife encouraging him by telling him re• peatedly to "take steady aim ;" the robbers being foiled in their attempt to get up stairs, procured a quantity of straw and articles of furniture, which thsy laid in the passage at the bottom of the stairs, to which they set fire, shutting the side doors so as to force the smoke up the stairs. Mrs. Fairley now opened the win dows of the bed-room to allow the smoke to escape, and when doing so received a violent blow on the head from a stone. When nearly suffocated, Mr. and Mrs. Fairley surrendered. There were five robbers in the house, and others were outside ; they were all masked, and were armed with four guns and three horse-pistols. After Mr. and Mrs. Fairley sur rendered they recived several violent blows. The robbers ransacked the house, broke open drawers and boxes, scattered about linen and wearing apparel, and destroyed furniture, glass, earthenware, eatables, and drinkables. They afterwards regaled themselves with bread and meat and cheese. Mr. Fairley told them where to find a bottle of good Scotch whisky, and invited them to partake freely of other spirits ; they left about three o'clock in the morning, when Mr. Fairley gave the alarm at Up wood, and farmers and others were soon scouring the country in all directions. Near daylight two of the farm labourers discovered two of the robbers asleep in a ditch about half a mile from the house, with three guns by their side and some of Mr. Fairley's wearing apparel upon them. They were drunk, and smelt strongly of whisky. They were taken off to St. Ives lock-up house for examination. It is hoped that the whole of the robbers will soon be in custody. The missing articles are two watches, silver plate, consisting of table, dessert, and tea spoons, &c., marked T. F., and nearly 51. i n cas h. The windows and doors of the house are a complete wreck, and the plaster on the walls riddled with shot and bullets. mate of the hotel at the same time. It appeared that the prisoner met M. Jourdon at the Argyll Rooms on the night of the 27th September, and he intro duced himself to him as staying at the same hotel, and ascertained from him the number of his room, and the prisoner soon afterwards went away. The prosecutor did not return to the hotel until the following morning, and he then found, upon examin ing a box in his bedroom, that three 201. notes, part of a large sum of money that he had placed there the day before, had been stolen. The evidence clearly established the fact of the prisoner being the guilty party, as it was proved that he went to Anderton's Hotel, i❑ Fleet-street, immediately after the robbery must have been committed, and there changed one of the stolen notes, and made a representation that he was going away by the South-Eastern Railway ; it appeared that instead of doing so, he took up his abode at Dubourg's Hotel in the Haymarket, where he was apprehended by Weale, the officer. The jury found the prisoner Guilty. The Court was informed that there was very good ground for believing that the prisoner had been car rying on a regular system of plundering guests at hotels in different parts of the country, and the Re corder therefore deferred passing sentence, in order that further inquiries might be made respecting the prisoner and his pursuits. No trial of any interest took place in the New Court. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. John Ilogan was charged with having violently as saulted his wife. The complainant, who had not very long lost en excellent husband, described the treatment she received from the defendant as likely, if continued a little longer, to make her follow the former to the grave ; and a policeman who witnessed the outrage and took the assailant into custody, not only confirmed her testimony, but proved an assault upon himself, in flicted no doubt because he interfered to save her from still greater violence. The LORD MAYOR sentenced the defendant to im prisonment for seven days ; and soon afterwards the fellow was brought again before his Lordship, charged with having knocked his wife down when she went to speak to him upon his departure from the cell in which he had been confined at the Mansion-house. The LORD MAYOR directed that the complainant should at the end of the imprisonment of her husband, appear against him, and stated that the defendant must, at that time, give bail for his good conduct for three months. A young man named William Collins was charged with having attempted to destroy himself. A policeman said—l saw the defendant sitting on one of the seats on London-bridge for some time, and asked him why he did not go home. He said it was his intention to sit there until midnight, when all would be quiet, and he would then take a turn over the bridge into the water. I spoke to him about the folly of such a thing, but he said there was no use in talking to him, as he was determined to fling himself into the water. I then took him to the station-house, on our way he said he had robbed his master and been deserted by his friends, and had no chance of getting into any place in this world. Another policem in said, the defendant had been taken before the magistrate at Worship-street, charged with having endeavoured to cut his throat. The LORD MAYOR—And what story did he tell there ? Policeman—He said just the same thing, and the magistrate discharged him, believing he would not attempt anything of the kind again. The LORD MAYOR—Then we have every reason to believe that his object is to excite sympathy. A great many persons are in the habit of visiting the re cesses of London-bridge for the purpose of moving compassion, and with the view to check the practice I shall commit the defendant if he do not produce bail to keep the peace for three months.—Committed. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Charles Palmer, a lad in the employ of Messrs. Burgoyne, solicitors, Oxford•street, was charged with having stolen a sovereign belonging to his ,masters. Mr. Burgoyne said the prisoner had been in his service for about 18 months. Ile had frequently missed money from a drawer in the office, but for a length of time was unable to find out the thief. The robbery was the more mysterious from the fact of the drawer being furnished with one of Chubb's patent detector locks; and though it was evident the drawer must have been opened in order to get at the money, yet the lock presented no appearance of having been tampered with. On missing the sovereign an in spection of the drawer took place, and the discovery was made of a small crack on one side, which enabled a person, by the application of strong pressure, to release the bolt of the lock from the hasp, and then to shut in the bolt again so as to leave all in proper order. The lad, when given into custody, at first denied his guilt, but afterwards admitted he had made the discovery of the way in which the drawer could be opened, and had availed himself of it more than once. The prisoner was fully committed. CLERKEIV WELL. John Lail, the driver of a fly carriage, was charged with being drunk and furiously driving over Mary Ann Harris, a middle-aged woman, by which her life is in danger. It appeared that on Sunday night, at twenty minutes past ten o'clock, the injured woman was car rying her child in her arms and crossing the road in Pratt-street, Somers-town, with her nephew, when she was knocked down by the prisoner's vehicle, and the wheels passed over her, by which she was seriously injured and her life placed in danger. The prisoner's defence was that he was driving a spirited horse and he endeavoured to pull up, but could not prevent the accident. Wilkes said th e p r i sone r wa s v e ry d run k. A S surgeon's certificate was produced, which stated the the injured woman. Mr. COMBS remanded th e case f or a wee k, w h en precarious ergeant condition of the fate of the woman will be made known. Susan the wif e o f a tra d esman res idi ng i n Bo ad- S WARK. Broad-w all, lb a m , , a l ' s charged with a tt em pti ng t o c o mmit r suicide. A policeman stated that the prisoner was found on Saturday evening on the step of a door in the street, apparently in a dying state, questioned she admitted that she had taken poison. Hu therefore lost no time in conveying her to a sur geon in the neighbourhood, who pronounced that she had swallowed a quantity of laudanum, and the sto mach-pump being brought into requisition she reco vered from the effects of the dose she had taken. It appeared that she had procured the laudanum by pur chasing small quantities at different chemists' shops, until she got enough, she supposed, to answer her purpose, and then swallowed the whole. The husband was then called, and the first thing he did was to produce a bundle of pawnbrokers' du plicates, saying that she had nearly ruined him owing to her propensity for liquor. He was compelled to leave her some time ago, and allowed her 1/. a week to live upon, besides giving her furniture to furnish a room. Mr. A'BEcRETT said that the husband of such a woman was to be pitied. He should remand her for a week, and in the meantime the husband would have an opportunity of consulting with his friends, and making some arrangement as to her future disposal in the event of her being discharged. In the course of the day Mrs. Johnson, a lady who has interested herself in a very benevolent manner on behalf of the two poor women named Suban, relative to whom an application was made a few days since, attended for the purpose of explaining some circum stances in allusion to their case, and to a letter which appeared in the newspapers from Lord Lansdowne on the subject. The applicant stated that, having seen the Marquis of Lausdowne's letter in the newspapers, she considerd it only an act of justice on the behalf of the two sisters Sul= to attend before Mr. A'Beckett to explain some inaccuracies which appeared in the former report of their application at that court. She then proceeded to describe that the father of the two women did not live as butler in Lord Lansdowne's family, but served in that capacity to Dr. Taylor, of Kenmare, and that after their parents' death they lived in a cabin on his Lordship's estate in the county of Kerry ; that they inhabited the cabin up to the time of their quitting Ireland about two months ago, and that it was under the advice of Mr. Townsend, Lord Lans downe's agent, that they left their native place, Ken mare, and embarked at Cork to come over to this country under the supposition that they would be enabled to make out a livelihood here; that Mr. Townsend paid their passage for them; a nd that the y had document s t o prove that, and also a letter from the Rev. Mr. Godfrey, the rector of Kenmare, re commending them as decent, w ell-conducted women, and entitled to the sympathy of the benevolent. She (the applicant) had made the most strict inquiries into the characters of both the sisters, and had ascertained beyond doubt that they were not impostors, but were the persons they represented themselves to be, and that their parents as well as themselves had lived for' many years on the estate of the Marquis of Lens. downe, in the county of Kerry. The applicant added, that the two poor women had since left for Ireland, and that her object in making the present application was for the purpose of acquainting his Lordship of the real circumstances, and disabusing his mind as to the unfortunate women being impostors, such an im putation upon their characters being sufficient to de stroy their future prospects in life if left uncon tradicted. Mr. A'BECKETT said that Lord Lansdowne in his note had:contradicted the assertions as to a man named Suban ever having been in his service as butler, or of such a person ever living on his estates in the county of Cork; his Lordship disclaimed ever having p o ,_ sessed an estate in that county. He (the magistrate), from the meaner of the two women when before him, was prejudiced in their favour, and believed that they were not impostors, otherwise he would not have in terested himself in procuring their removal back to Ireland as he did ; that he should write to his Lord ship, acquainting him of the explanations given by the applicant, in order that the matter might be set right, and that what previously occurred might not operate to the disadvantage of the two sisters when they got back to Ireland. The applicant having thanked the magistrate, then withdrew. EVENING, OCTOBER 28, 165 i. THE SAVOY COURT LEES`. A court leet for the precinct of the Savoy was held yesterday, in the Vestry-room of St. Clement Danes, Strand, presided over by Arthur Edward Somerset, Esq., high steward, assisted by Willoughby, Esq., the high sheriff, and the burgesses. Mr. BROOKES, the foreman of the leet jury, handed in their presentment, which stated that a house in :dilford-lane, belonging to the Rev. Mr. Ellis; viias in a ruinous and falling condition, and a common nui sance. The HIGH STEWARD inquired if the jury proposed to inflict any fine ? Mr. BROOKES replied in the negative, thinking it sufficient to call jthe attention of the Court to the matter. CONFLICT OF JURISDICTION. Mr. BROOKES then called the attention of the Court to the fact that some members of the leet, jury had been summoned to attend the Westminster Ses sions, and wished to take the opinion of the Court on the subject. The Hum STEWARD—We think this court has priority in the first instance. The question as to whether you are bound to attend the Middlesex Ses sions at all is quite a new one, and we must take time to consider it. As at present advised, lam in clined to think you must submit. Mr. BaooxEs---But does that court take prece dence of this? The HIGH STEWARD—No ; I consider this court takes precedence. Mr. CLUNES (one of the jurors)—l attended the Westminster Sessions this morning and took an ob jection to the summons, stating that, being under the jurisdiction of the Duchy of Lancaster, I considered myself in a kind of extra-parochial position, and that if I served it must be under protest on the part of the duchy and my neighbours, and it was for the judge to decide whether he could enforce the law or not. His Lordship said the case was rather novel to him —that under the new Act the High Bailiff of West minster was entrusted with the duty usually per formed by the Sheriffs of Middlesex, so far as regarded Westminster, and that it was not yet a decided point. I pressed for a decision, on which his Lordship said as the matter stood at present if I did not serve he should fine me. I told him that I had received a summons to attend a court leet, and that if I neg lected to do so I should be fined there. His Lordship then said, " If you do not serve here I shall fine you, but if the High Bailiff attempts to enforce the fine he may get himself into a serious scrape. My duty is to fine you. However, I will permit you to go to the court leet, and state what I have said to the authorities of the Duchy of Lancaster ; but you must be here to morrow, otherwise I shall impose the fine." The in habitants of the Savoy look to this court to place them in a right position, for they cannot be expected to argue the matter every day. The lllcu STEWARD—The jurisdiction alluded to is quite a new one. The Middlesex Sessions is not confined to the city of Westminster, but takes in the whole of the western part of the county. It seems to me, if the jury is to be summoned for Middlesex, it must be done by the sheriffs, and not by Mr. Smed ley (the High Bailiff). Mr. CLUNES—Ify objection is, that we in the Savoy are under the jurisdiction of the Duchy of Lancaster, and not under the jurisdiction of the court at West minster. Doing service under the Duchy of Lan caster, we do not acknowledge the jurisdiction of Westminster to affect the Savoy. The judge said there was reason in the objection, and it might be law, but repeated that if I did not serve he should fine me. As an individual I cannot undertake the responsibility of trying an action. The Heca STEWARD—The way to settle the question is this. When you are called upon to-mor row to serve say that we have discussed the question to-day, and are decidedly of opinion that the court leet summons has precedence over that of the Sessions Court at Westminster, and we also think that the court-leet summons exempts you altogether. If you are compelled to serve you must serve under protest. Of course the attention of the duchy, who are the proper parties to entertain the question, will be called to it, and a decision will be obtained. It would be hard to throw the expense upon you, and if there is sufficient ground to go upon, the duchy, I apprehend, will try the question in the se name of some of you gentlemen. Mr. CLUNES—I told the judge that if I did serve it would be under protest, and that neither the duchy nor my neighbours should be compromised in my person. _ _ The HIGH SHERIFF—The High Steward is of opinion at present that you should pay attention to the first summons you received. This being the only business the Court broke up. THE JUDGE OF THE LIVERPOOL COUNTY COURT. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY AFTERNOON.—Not with standing the approaching inquiry before the Earl of Carlisle, at Preston, on the sth of next month, into the conduct of Mr. Ramshay, the judge of the Liver pool County Court, and the memorial from the in habitants, praying that a substitute should be ap pointed, or that the judge should not resume his sit tings until the inquiry into the allegations against him had been decided, Mr. Ramshay took his seat on the bench this morning, precisely at twenty-five minutes to ten o'clock, and the ordinary business was immediately proceeded with. As the morning ad vanced the court became exceedingly crowded, the fact having become known that Mr. Ramshay was presiding in person, although it is understood that Lord Carlisle had enjoined that gentleman not to preside. In themselves the cases brought forward were of little interest, but the judge laid down an important rule for future guidance. In the case of Hopkinson v. Loscan, for the recovery of a balance of 25., the original debt being 4s. 6d., the judge said it was necessary to have some rule with regard to small debts. If tradesmen trusted poor people with such small sums, they acted very improperly. The Act of Par liament under which these courts were constituted was not intended to press poor people; on the contrary, he considered that the poor were a class peculiarly under the protection of his court. If some general rule were adopted with regard to those small claims, he thought it would not interfere with the business of the court, but prove very useful and beneficial. It occurred to him that this court was not to be turned to the purpose of enforcing such very small debts, because it seemed to him that the costs were vastly disproportionate to the amount sought to be reco vered. He thought it was really oppressive to poor men to have actions brought against them, te and if people gave credit for such small amounts h take the chance of getting them , if they came must into this court, without costs. He (the Judge) asked what were the costs in this particular case ? Mr. Statham, the clerk, said 45. 11d. The have brought the case into court, but — The JUDGE said be was not making the slightest reflection ,upon the plaintiff; on the contrary, he thought he had acted very properly.ue)a discretionary power, which he should The Act of Parliament gave hica (the eTd ake care - g not to abuse. He should take care that that discretion was exercised in a manner which would be satisfactory, and not offen sive to the pu blic. The rule which he should adopt would be that in a c t ions for sums under 103. no costs should be given to the plaintiff, unless specifically granted, or unless it should be an action by a poor person to recover wages. He should not allow per sons in a respectable sphere of life , like the plaintiff, tot ak e the costs out of the pocket of the poor man. If there were dishonesty or fraud on the part of the defendant he should grant the plaintiff costs. Mr. Hopkins, the plaintiff in the case before the court, said he had received gross insult from the de fendant, who had thrown an apple at him. The JUDGE said then that was an exceptional case, and he should give Mr. Hopkins costs. People must be taught to act with civility ; and as long as he sat there he should endeavour to enforce it towards himself and everybody else. Insults of this kind he should always mark by giving costs. Persons must not be insulted when they asked for their just debts. In the next case the plaintiff sought to recover 49.1 d. This was a small debt coming under the category al luded to, but the sludge decided to grant the plaintiff costs in this case, because it appeared to him the debt had been contracted by fraud and misrepresentation. He considered it was a duty he owed to the people of this town, a duty which he should fulfil notwithstand ing any strictures in certain quarters. He would reprobate dishonesty from any quarter. He considered it one of his most solemn duties to do so, and he had always done so he hoped. The next interruption to the ordinary business was a complaint on the part of the Judge that the windows of the court were not open. " Whose duty," he asked, "is it to open these win dows ?" Mr. Statham—The duty of the keeper of the court. The JUDGE—I gave an order of a general nature, that the windows were to be opened, and I am not to waste my time and the time of the court by these in terruptions. I do maintain that my orders shall be punctually carried out. I shall mark by fine all Im proper conduct, whatever it may be. I shall in every instance inflict a fine, and a very severe one. I shall tetieh glom) Flutes who do not comply with the read - sonable orders of this court by such fines as will force attention to their duties. Here we have been half suffocated during the last two hours this morning by the windows being closed. There are a great num ber of persons here, and I shall mark my sense of the disobedience very strongly, because I don't think it is the business of the judge to waste his time with a matter such as this. (The court-keeper, John Whiteside, then appeared.) The Juno E—Court-keeper, why didn't you open the door ? The keeper-1 had no orders. The JUDGE—Do you mean to say you had no orders ? The keeper—l considered it was very cold this morning. The JUDGE—CoId this morning, with a crowded court like this ! I shall impose a fine of 10s. for not attending to my orders, repeatedly given on this sub ject. It must be very uncomfortable and unpleasant to every one in court. I shall inflict a fine of ten shillings for not attending to my orders on this sub ject, and teach you to attend to my orders in future, which have been now neglected without any justifi able ground whatever. I think fresh air is essential to life and health. I nearly lost my life by confinement in close courts, and I don't intend to have it again. By keeping the windows closed you are endangering my health, and I consider that a serious matter. En force that fine, Mr. Statham. _ _ The business of the court then proceeded, and in the course of the next case the Judge corrected a mis taken notion which, he said, generally prevailed. lle said it was generally supposed that the law was a system of chicanery. It was, however, the result of the deliberations of the wisest men and the essence of good sense. It was only very silly people who chose to consider the rules of law as mere chicanery. These remarks were addressed to a young man who appeared on the plaintiff's bide, but was unable to support his case by what the Judge deemed sufficient and reasonable evidence It was," he continued, " a monstrous thing to come into that court, and state things as facts which the witness had no knowledge of. Was he to saddle a party with a debt because there might be great difficulty in finding him ? You (addressing himself to the witness) choose to come here and waste my time,;by bringing a case before me in which there is not a scrap of evidence. You have not stated one single fact, except that you served a notice, and just look what a thing it would be in this or any other court of justice. I might as well go and serve a notice on any gentleman sitting in this court, and bring an action against him, because I served a notice upon hipa. This is part and parcel of a system which I have - ptit down, and will take care not to set up again." The witness attempted to explain. The JUDGE—You don't know anything about it. You are a mere collector of debts. What you are doing is highly improper. You are playing with a dangerous weapon, because it is necessary for you and others in this court to know this—l have powers —and though they be novel, though persons in this town don't like powers which are novel, which they have never heard of before—l intend to exercise those powers, whether they be novel or ordinary. If there is a new system of law, it; is a strange reason for not exercising its rules because they are novel. I can tell you (the witness) the Act of Parliament gives me power, not only to order a prosecution, but to commit parties immediately for trial—to commit them to gaol till the next aesizes for perjury ; and I tell you that is the power that I intend to exercise. There were some cases in the last court in which I shall exer cise that power. I don't intend to sit here and have the moral responsibility of allowing these parties to state that which is not true. It would be a very dangerous thi❑g to do, and one which might be attended with very serious consequences. I don't suppose you (witness) acted from a❑y such motive. I don't suppose you are conscious of impropriety in that which you are doing; but it is highly improper in a man to come into a court of justice and take an oath in a witness box, and state that which is not true. I don't think you had any such intention—because I am inclined to think you are a respectable person, who did not think, in saying what you did, that you were guilty of any offence—to come here and make a statement such as you made, as if you could speak to facts merely because some person told you. Therefore I shall not order a prosecution in your case. But re collect, an oath imposes this, not to state what you have heard, but what you know. It is improper to waste the time of the Court. In concluding his re marks, the Judge declared his intention to require reasonable evidence in every case. He sat there for that purpose, and any person in town would be just as good a judge as he was himself if he received mere tittle-tattle. He told the witness to stand down, and if he did not prove the case satisfactorily, the next step he took he (the Judge) should certainly nonsuit him. The case must be proved by reasonable evidence. Some private conversation then took place with the clerk of the court, and the Judge retired. THE FROME MURDER. Yesterday (Monday) was appointed for the exami nation of Robert Hurd, William Sparrow, and Wil liam Maggs, the three persons charged with the viola tion and murder of Sarah Watts, at Woodlands, near this town, on the 24th September last. Sergeant Smith (the London detective officer) stated to the bench that he had that morning apprehended the other person suspected of being concerned with the prisoners in the murder, his name was Win. Sergeant. The four prisoners were placed in the dock. The first witness examined was Sophia Cornish, whose husband keeps a beer-shop near the scene of the murder, and who deposed that on the morning of the tragedy she saw the four prisoners together, near West Woodlands. Ann Hiscocks gave similar evidence. Mary Francis deposed—My husband keeps the Horse and Groom public-house at West Woodlands. I recollect the murder being committed on the 24th of Sept. On the afternoon of the 13th Sept. the prisoner Sparrow was in my house. He stayed there between two and three hours. He had an old dirty silk handkerchief with him. On the 20th he came again. On that day I also saw the handkerchief in his possession. Ile had it in his hand. I was very close to him, and could see that it had some slits in it. He went out and left it on the settle, and whilst he w as gone I examined it. I observed it well. I also saw it well when it was spread out over his knee. I believe I should know the handkerchief again. (The handkerchief was here produced. It agreed exactly with what witness had said, being ragged at the cor ners, and having two or three slits in it.) Witness continued—l am confident this is the same handkerchief I saw in Sparrow's hand on the 13th and 20th of Sept. I was talking to him, and there fore I had a good opportunity of seeing it, and I am sure this is the seine handkerchief. The prisoner Sparrow—You never saw me with that handkerchief. I never had it. James Hoddinott, constable of Frome—l produce the handkerchief. I found it on the table at the house where Sarah Watts was murdered. I first went to the house about half -past six on the 24th of September. After I entered the house, the first thing I saw was a spot of blood below the fireplace, on the floor. I then looked on the table, and found the handkerchief I now produce. I examined it, and then put it into my pocket. I then saw two or three spots of blood on the wall. I then went into the milk house, and saw the floor all bloody—a large pool of blood lying all over the ground, just under a trundle, which was half full of whey, and it appeared to be bloody, as if som e h a d b een d i ppe d ou t w ith something covered with blood. John Watts, father of the deceased, was then called. He is a very old man , an d appeare d d eep ly e ffected while giving his evidence. He said, my daughter was murdered on the 24th of September. I returned home on that day, about four o'clock. I observed the whey in the • milk-house before I went out, and I also saw it when I c ame b ac k . I then t i ppe d the tub up con taining it, and I saw that' the water was bloody, as if something covered with blood bad been dipped in it. John But c h er , sa ddl er , of Frome, proved findin g a bundle of c l o th es i n a field, about two min utes' walk from Butt's-square, on the Tuesday after the murder, as he was going across the field, about six o'clock in the morning. The clothes could not have been thrown where they were from the road, but some one must have got over the hedge and placed them there. These clothes were produced, and identified by Mr. Watts as his property. He said they were stolen on the day his child was murdered. Thomas Desey, residing in Butt's-square, said he knew all the prisoners. Sargent lived four doors from him.
