(Sittings in Middlesex, at Nisi Prius, in Easter Term, before Mr. Baron ALDERSON and Common Juries.) WEBB V. BUTLER. This was an action to recover a small sum as a balance of salary, alleged to have becomo due under the circum stances stated below. The defendant pleaded that he was not indebted, then having paid 2/. into court he pleaded that he was not indebted beyond that sum, then that he had paid all that was due to the plaintiff except as to the 21, then a set off of money paid, and lastly that the 21. in question had been tendered to the defendant or his agent, It appeared that the defendant is a solicitor prac tising in Furnival's-inn, and that in the month of June in the last year the plaintiff went to him on trial for a month, at the expiration of which time, as was alleged by the plaintiff, the defendant entered into an agree ment with him to the effect that the latter would give him his articles and 501. a year for five years, upon his giving proper security for the sum of 150/. or 2004; but that should this arrangement not be carried out, and the articles not be executed, then that he should pay the plaintiff at the rate of 21. per week. The plaintiff conti nued in the service of the defendant until January 4th in the present year, when the latter intimated to him that, as there appeared not to be any probability of the sti pulated security being forthcoming, and as the plaintiff had been writing letters in his neme, their connexion must cease; and, therefore, that he had better provide himself with another situation. The plaintiff accord ingly left, and the sum of 2/. for the two last weeks of his employment was placed upon his desk, but was with drawn again because he refused to give a receipt in full of all demands. The plaintiff subsequently claimed re muneration at the rate of 2/. per week for the whole period of his employment by the defendant. With this demand the latter declined to comply, and the present action was the result. _ _ On the part of the defendant the written agreement was put in, when it appeared that the only sum set out as that by which the plaintiff was to be paid was at the rate of 501. per annum, provided the articles of clerk ship for five years were entered into, but not one word appeared upon the face of the document as to his being paid 21. a week in case that event were not realized. Evidence was also given to show that the plaintiff had asked for and had received the payment of 11. a week, and that each week he had been paid usually by monthly payments, with the exception of the two last weeks. In the course of the address of the Learned Counsel for the defendant, one of the witnesses, the mother of the plaintiff, rose and denied a particular part of his statement, when Mr. Baron ALDERSON told her that if she did not sit quietly and hold her tongue he should bo compelled to have her turned out of court. The witness—Oh, no, my Lord, I'll sit quiet. Mr. Baron ALDERSON (laughing)—l fear you will not hold your tongue. The witness (with great earnestness)-oh, yes, my Lord, I will, I assure you; I will indeed. Mr. Baron A LDERSON —i am fearful of you.— (A laugh.) The witness—Yes, my Lord, I will be quiet, you may rely upon it; indeed I will. Why, I'll stand here (plac ing herself with her back against the jury-box), and look at your Lordship all the time.—(Roars of laughter.) Mr. Baron ALDERSON (who laughed as heartily as any other person in court)—l think I had better put you out of the way of temptation by having you removed from the court. I think you had better therefore leave the court.—(Renewed laughter.) The witness—Oh, no! I wish to stay, my Lord. You may depend upon my being quiet; you may, indeed, my Lord.—(lncreased laughter.) Mr. Baron ALDERSON—Very well, then; but you do not know how great a temptation you will have to with stand, for the Learned Counsel there (Mr. Peacock) is probably one of the most provoking gentleman at the bar, and therefore lam afraid of you, I must confess, notwithstanding your promise and your apparent confi dence in your ovm powers of self-control.—(L.ughter.) The lady, however, remained in court, and proved, notwithstanding the hard bits of the Learned Counsel, that she had not overcalculated her powers of self moo!. Mr. M. CHAMBERS replied. Mr. Baron ALDERSON then summed up the case. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff for the 2/. Mr. M. Chambers, Mr. Hawkins, aid Mr. Horry con ducted the case for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Peacock and Mr. Lush were counsel for the defendant. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE• PLYMOIITII, APRIL 23.—Her Majesty's steam-frigate Penelope, Captain Lyster, with her tender, the screw gun vessel Tenzer, from Portsmouth, reached the Start Point on Sunday evening, when, the weather being very thick, they separated; the tender arrived in the Sound at half-past seven, and the frigate at halt-past nine on Monday morning. Both went up harbour same day to coal, and last evening they sailed for the coast of Africa to relieve the Centaur, Commodore Fanshawe. Her Majesty's frigate Indefatigable, Captain Smart, sailed on the 4th inst., from Lisbon, to relieve the Cale donia ,ordered home from the Mediterranean. The steam-vessel Caradoc is ordered from Woolwich to this port, when her crew are to be paid wages prior to sailing for the Mediterranean. Mr. A. Pike, storekeeper at the Royal William Vic tualling yard, died at Totnes on the 22d inst., aged 62, after a service of 48 years under Government. WOOLWICH, APRIL 24.—Captain the Right Hon. Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, G.C.H., commander of the Royal Victoria and Albert steam-yacht, visited Wool wich Dockyard to-day, accompanied by Captain Spar shott, for the purpose of inspecting the progress made with the 20-gun frigate preparing for being rigged, and at present in the mast-house at this port. This beautiful little craft is 38 feet long, and of 26 tons burden, and will be fitted and rigged even to the minutest details as one of the frigates in her Majesty's service. The bottom of the vessel is sheathed with copper, and her keel is of iron, weighing 23 cwt. She will be navigated by twenty boys. Her bilge ways are already put on, and she will be launched into the river on Saturday morning next, and be towed up the river to the Tower on the same day by a steamer. On the following day she will be towed by boats past London-bridge, Southwark-hridge, Blackfriars -bridge, Waterloo-bridge, flungerfcrd- bridge, and Westminster-bridge, and at the height of the tide, between twelve o'clock on Sunday night and one on Monday morning, be taken on shore at Vauxhall-bridge, and conveyed overland to the Serpentine, in Hyde-park, where she will be launched at an early hoar on Monday morning, before the traffic commences in the streets she will have to pass along and to cross. The rigging is now all ready, and will be put up on her masts when afloat in the Serpentine. . _ Rear-Admiral Sir Charles Napier, 1CC.8., with Cap tain Sparshutt, visited the Prince of Wales frigate yes terday. From inquiries yesterday morning we learned that Admiral Sir Edward Codrington was hopelessly linger ing. There wero reports in the afternoon that he was dead. Rear-Admiral Hornby, C.D., in the Asia, 84, Captain Fanshawe, C. 8., having been relieved in the command of the Pacific station, left Valparaiso Feb. 14 for England. Commodore Bruce, in the Penelope steam•frigate, Captain Lyster, with her tender, the Teaser screw gun-vessel, left lievonport for the coast of Africa on Wednesday morning, at 5.30, after having filled up with coals. We have intelligence from her Majesty's screw-cor vette Encounter, Captain Gordon, at Oporto, whither she was dispatched by Commodore Martin. Everything was quint at that place. THE DREADFUL OCCURRENCE AT WALTON. VERDICT OF MANSLAUGHTER AGAINST THE CLERGYMAN, AND SERIOUS RESULT. The adjourned inquest upon the body of the unfortu nate victim in the recent fatal mistake at Walton, near Brampton, was resumed on Tuesday morning, before Mr. Carrick, the coroner, and the same jury, at the vil lage inn. The excitement created by this sad event is intense; indeed, no event has happened of late years in the east of Cumberland which has coated equal sensa tion, the position of the parties more immediately con cerned in it, and the circumstances under which it oc curred, both combining to invest the affair with the deepest and most startling interest. As some mix-statements connected with the affair have appeared, it may be as well briefly to state the particu lars, ascertained by the most diligent inquiry and inves tigation. The deceased, who was 38 years of ago, and has left a widow and two children, was more generally known by the name of his paternal estate, " Sorbietrees," than by his name of Armstrong, and was the lineal de scendant and representative of the " Sorbietrees" spoken of by Sir Walter Scott in " Guy Mannering." The adjourned inquest was resumed on Tuesday morning at ten o'clock. By this time the news of the melancholy event had spread far and wide, and a great number of persons thronged the village in the hope of gaining access to the scene of so much melancholy in terest; the room was consequently crowded to an incon venient degree —oven to the very ceiling. There was breathless silence whilst the several witnesses gave their testimony. After some lengthened evidence, The CoRONEa then addressed the jury. He said— You can have no doubt that the poor man died from a pistol-shot wound in his side, the ball passing through the trunk of the body, and you can have no doubt also that Mr. Smith was the person who fired the shot. Having then disposed of that question you have this im portant one to consider—under what circumstances did he fire that shot; whether it was under circumstances which either justify or excuse the act? If so, then Mr. Smith is not criminally responsible, and he stands ac quitted before you and his country of any legal blame. But if he was not so justified or excusable in the eye of the law, then Mr. Smith has been guilty of one of two crimes, either that of manslaughter or murder. Mr. Smith's own statement affords the only direct and positive evidence of this part of the case. There is other evidence bearing upon it, and it is for you to consider and com pare the different statements together, and to say how far they agree and are consistent aith themselves and with each other. Having heard this evidence read over, I am sure you will exercise that judgment which will enable you to reconcile them, or to see how far they were entitled to your full credence, and which appear consistent or otherwise. Having ventured to submit this question, I may go on further to state to you what I believe to be the law applicable to this particular case. First,then, I must state that under certain circumstances a man is justified in killing another, in such as the fol lowing circumstances:—lf one attempt to rob or murder another on the highway or in a house; or to attempt to break into a dwelling-house by night; or to commit any other forcible or atrocious crime, and the party making the attack be killed, then the slayer is justified in taking his life; but with this qualification, that the con duct of the party killed clearly manifested the intention to commit a felony of a forcible and violent character, and not a mere trespass, or even a felony unaccompanied by force. If death was occasioned under these latter circumstances it would not be justifiable, but man slaughter or murder. Therefore, gentlemen, it is for you to apply this test to the evidence before you; it is for you to say whether the conduct of the deceased was of such a character as to bring Mr. Smith's case within this rule. You have heard the evidence with respect to the character and circumstances of the deceased. That tends to prove that ho was not there with any felonious intention—every circumstance disproves such an assump tion; he might be a trespasser, but not a felon. But then comes the question whether the conduct of Arm strong that night was such as clearly to manifest an intention on his part to commit some violence by break ing into the house, or doing some other forcible or felonious act. He might not be intending to do it; but his conduct might have been such as to lead a person exercising a mind of ordinary capacity and firmness to misconstrue his intentions, and for a moment believe that he was really intending to break into the house. In such a case it would be a stretching of the law to make a man criminally responsible for that which the circumstances, as they appeared at the moment, justi fied; although it afterwards turned out that his inten tions had been misconstrued. It is not, therefore, gen tlemen, whether the man was really intending to com mit a felony, but whether the conduct of the deceased, so far as the .evidence shows, was of such a nature as to manifestly lead a man of ordinary mind to put such a construction upon it. Now, gentlemen, was the conduct of Armstrong of such a character? The Question, therefore, which I would put would be in this form—Was the conduct of tho deceased, so far as the evidence shows, such as to excite in the mind of a reasonable man, exercising ordinary judgment and thought, a well• founded suspicion that de ceased was attempting to commit a forcible and inten tional felony? and, believing so, did he exercise that precaution which a prudent man would do before he re sorted to the desperate step of firing at him? If Mr. Smith were convinced, if he had a right to be convinced, and he did take precautions under that apprehension, then he was justified or excusable in what he did. Some allowance might be made for a man whose fears are suddenly aroused at a late hour of night, alone, as it were, in a house far from any other, where the alarm would appear far beyond the reality. Yet, gentlemen, I cannot subscribe to the doctrine—a very dangerous doctrine, indeed—that a man should seek to be excused, much less justified, for the taking of another's life, not because there were any real or well-founded reasons for believing an attack was to be made upon him, but merely acting as he would do, and as appears by Mr. Smith's own statement he did, under a nervously timid state of mind, lost all self-possession, having become void of all ordinary prudence, judgment, and discretion (I think his words were). Mr. Smith's statement is silent as to whether he saw deceased or not. He, how ever, leaves it to be inferred that he did not see him. Mr. Smith also says that he fired at random. It is for you to say whether you are satisfied or otherwise, that Mr. Smith saw the man. If he did, in your opinion, see the man at the ti me h e fi re d , t h e remar k s I h ave just made perfectly apply to that part of the case; but if you think Mr. Smith fired at random without seeing the man at the time, then this question will arise—Had Mr. Smith, when he fired, reasonable ground for supposing that some one or more persons were in the immediate vicinity, and within the range of the pistol discharged? If he had reason to believe so, and fired in that direction, and death ensued, be would (subject to the remarks I have already made) be criminally responsible for the consequences. Therefore, whether ho fired seeing the party, or he fired having reason to believe—and it cer tainly is in his evidence that he had heard a person at the window immediately before that—and that party had withdrawn but only from the immediate vicinity; if, therefore, he did believe that some person was in the immediate neighbourhood, and he fired in such a three, ticn as was likely or probable to strike the yarty, h e d ots am l aey s s also culpable p roa offer he h teh e n iws iotruehrde remark, that hfitahryeaedt ndirectot ap a p t ea th r e t to party.m to if he had intended merely to alarm levelled his pistol in ouch a direction as to strik e him, 1851. for it is evident that a man having such intention only would have fired either up into the air or down into the ground. These appear to be questions necessary for your consideration. I have further to say to you that you ought to bear as much as you possibly can with this very important fact, that Mr. Smith is undoubtedly an exceedingly timid man—that he could have no malice whatever towards the individual whose life he sacrificed, and we have noreason to believe that he was influenced at the moment by any worse feelings;than those of extreme fear and anxiety to protect himself and property. I have attempted to submit to you the several points which appear to me to bear upon this lamentable case. I be seech you to weigh ►ell the whole, for you have a most important duty to discharge. Your verdict must be one of three—either that Mr. Smith did it under the ap prehension that he was going to be injured either in person or property by a burglar, consequently is justified or excused for the offence committed; or that the reason assigned did not justify the means adopted, therefore he is guilty of manslaughter; or if you can prove it to be the case, you must say that be has been guilty of the highest crime of murder. The jury retired into an adjoining apartment to con sider their verdict. After an absence of exactly an hour's duration they returned, and The Foreman said, we find Mr. Smith " Guilty of Manslaughter." The CORONER said ho had a great deal to prepare before he could conclude the proceedings; therefore, he suggested the adjournment of the court to Thursday morning at ten o'clock, when he would read over the depositions and take the recognisances. The jury were then bound over in their own recogni sances of 101. each to prosecute the inquiry until finally completed. At this moment the Rev. Mr. Benson, the vicar of Brampton, entered the room in great haste, and evidently in a state of painful excitement, and exclaimed, " He's quite gone, quite gone; the poor mau (alluding to Mr. Smith) he is quite gone out of his mind." This caused great sensation and sympathy amongst those who remained, and a deep and sorrowful expres sion overspread the countenances of all on hearing the painful intimation. It appeared that Mr. Smith had been told the result of the inquiry, which so overwhelmed him that he cried and sobbed like a child, subsequently sinking into a state of imbecility of mind, in which sad condition he still remained some hours after when we withdrew from the painful scene of this remarkable and awful visitation. The magistrates in attendance, with some of Mr. Smith's friends and his professional adviser, went up to the unfortunate gentleman's residence ; but they found that owing to his dreadful state of mind it was utterly impossible to take the usual steps consequent upon such a verdict of the coroner's jury. After we left the village we understand that Mr. Smith continued in such an excited and deranged state of mind, that the magistrates (who had waited nearly the whole day for the purpose) were obliged to leave without having the question of bail settled, either as to the sureties or as to the amount, Dr. Graham having certified that the reverend gentleman was in such a state of mind that it would be most dangerous to communi cate anything to him of an exciting nature. An appli cation is to be made to a judge for an order to admit Mr. Smith to bail without his having to appear betore the magistrates ; and the coroner has drawn out a cer tificate of the deranged state of Mr. Smith's mind, in order that this step may be taken.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS. BIRMINGHAM, APRIL 24.—At Gloucester and Wor cester markets, on the 19th, lower prices were not sub mitted to, but the wheat trade ruled very dull. Barley nominally unaltered in value, but less in request. Oats held fur an advance of 6d to is per quarter. There was some speculative inquiry for beans and beans, and the turn on the former was in favour of the seller. This week the trade has again been paralyzed by the maga'. tude of the arrivals on the coast, but holders have not pressed sales; and for the wheat which has changed hands nearly previous currency was obtained. Barley offering at a reduction of is per quarter, without finding buyers to any extent. Only limited parcels of oats have found buyers, for which full prices w e re real ized; and the same remark applies to beans. Rather more doing in peas. At this day's market there astargaadien a ru s l h e o d r d t supply from the farmers, yet the wheat rather under the currency of this .day se ' nnight, but we make no alteration in our quotations. Barley 6d to Is per quarter lower. Very little doing in oats, b u t th ey are firmly held for higher rates. Beans 6cl to is per quarter dearer. We heard of no transa ct i ons i n peas. BRISTOL, APRIL 24.—The demand for wheat this vigek has been inactive, both English and foreign, at a decline of 6d to is per quarter, and on flour of Is per sack. At this day s market English new wheat fetched from 36s to 403 per imperial quarter; foreign white, 40s to 42s per 4801 b; ditto red, extra fi ne qual i t i es, 38s to 40s; ditto, ditto, fine ditto, 358 to 375; ditto, ditto, ordi nary ditto, 32s 6d to 355; ditto, hard, 33s to 355; flour, English seconds, 26s t o 29 s per sack; American, &0., sweet, 20s to 22s p e r b arrel. The malting season for barley with the present warm weather may be con sidered as nearly at its close, but grinding barley and oats are scarce, with en upward tendency. English malting barley sold to-day at 24s to 29s per imperial quarter; ditto, and foreign grinding, 21s 6 d to 22 s 6 d per 400ib ; oats, Devon and 'Welsh, fetched from 15s to 17s per imperial quarter; Irish, white, 17s 6d to 19s per 32 01 b; ditto, black, 15s 6d to 16s 3d per imperil quarter. In beans and peas there has been very little doing. English beans sold at 24s to 283 per imperial quarter; foreign ditto, 23 to 26., per 480 b. The !sr; ivala tor the week have been—wheat, 1,310 quarters; bar!ey, 1 780 quarters 320 barrels; beans, 125 quarters; flour, 553 sacks. The averages for the week are—wheat, 38s Id; oats, 161 ld; barley, 23e 2d; beans, 28e, . GLASGOW, APRIL 2 3.—Tile arrivals coastwise usl_ from Ireland continue on a small scale. From abroad. the supplies consisted of about 4,078 quarters of wheat ; whereof 3,000 quarters were frpm Egypt, from the Baltic, and 780 quarters from France, along with 7,771 sacks of flour from the latter country. Tre nch flour was the principal article dealt in in retail during the week. Of other articles no sale of importann! transpired. This day's market was moderately well . a r . tended. Wheat and flour were a fair retail sale, warns 298 quartet out material change in value. Barley was the dearer. Oats and oatmeal realized an advance of 6d per trill or load respectively. Beans for grinding broug ht readily last week's currency. Peas and Indian corn 1112 - altered. LOUGHBOROUGH, Aran. 21.-- There was a short s u PP li , of wheat at about Is lower.
