DECEMBER 9 1850. i. 7 ... 5 N ° .18,16.] TO THE COACHMAKERS OF GREAT BRITAIN. I cm rr.;questcd . Gentlemen, hy the ceachmakers of this district to call your attention to a sutj2 - t of vital importance to the intere,t of your 'aide, mid I earnestly appeal to your sense of selt interest net to allow my ol:servatimis to fall upon you unheeded. The present con dition of the trade I mod s •arei.-ly refer to, for I know you are all too painfully familiar with its extraordinary depression; but the time has arrived whet, if some strenuous exertions be not made to improve it, 'here are few among you who wilt be able to main tain even your present position, and the majority will follow profitless occupation. The crmse of this severe deer anion, I nezd scarcely say, is the working of the unfair and impolitic tax upon carriages and its exemptions ; by the introduction of low_ pr:ced vehicles, to evade the tax, your trade is ruined rind the re• venue impaired, t'm werking-classes - nod their labour curtailed, and the, public are tin - justly' depritod of the comforts of a :convenient equipage. " 'Po remove your present:dna:Ries, tketelore, let me implore yon, not to finis f the ai lof Ileriarles, but hy well-timed and energetic r t tneasures mah r SC, sut , ject known in the proper quarter ; ler I (lore as , ert that:such I,r)rovir , dge ought to be sullicient to ensure its redress. You must not expect .assistance from the press, tor the subject is not abffleiently. popular, and for the some reason you must not hope that the Government will take the initiative. But of this I am,sure, it your ease is rep esented to the Treasury, with' its own simple and'unvarnislied facts, it will he easily traderatood : and if once understood, i cannot see how, either in niulom or jus tice, an enlightened Legislature can ri.fuse to amend this ini's chlevons and rilisurd enactment. I hare recently published a small pamphlet inwhic'i I helve stated my views upon this subject, since which' I have received c aumunications front various parts of the country, whereby I learn my opinion accords net only with that of the trade, but also of :many cmitinissioners and surveyors of assessed taxes. Those of the trade who have not already received my pamphlet shall, noon application, have one forwarded to their address. In the pamphlet referred to I have sufficiently exposed the working of the carriage tax, nnd the paltry shifts and evasions we are so oqen compelled to practice in collusion whit our cus tomers ; but.the range of a little pamphlet, published anonymously, .and distributed gratuitously; must necessarily - be limited ; the trade in this district therefore, fully acquiescing in my views, have re quested me thus to aplreal 'to the trade of Great .Britain, gird to suggest the follow ng proposal. Let a memorial, exetaining your position, and representing the mis chiewits working of the carriage tax upon your trade, be sent from each district i Great Britain to the treasury, and if necessary afterwards to the llou=e of Commons ; let it be signed by both tho masters, workmen, and ethers interested i tlt! question ; and in the mean time, as many of you, in your ordinary business, have o portunities of pers,,nal cmnanunications with the Members of your different counties and towns, use your utmost endeavours to call their attention to the stibj..Tt, which is all that is necessary to make it understood. The adoption of the proposition I have elsewhere made would entail no loss, but create an actual increase to the re v, nue. If, then, you can also prove to the satisfaction of the troa sury that the modification ()flips tax would improve your trade and largely increase the employment of the working classes, besides ex tending the luxuries or others, what possible objections or arzument could be brought forward by the Legislature to reluse your just and most reasonable petition ? - .

George Sloane, Esq., a special pleader, of 6, Pump court, Temple, appeared on Saturday before Alderman Humphery, at the Police-office, Guildhall, on a sum mons, to answer the following serious charge Mr. Clarkson, who appe are d on b e h a lf o f t h o defen dant, was invited to a seat on the bench, and defendant was accommodated with a chair 'in the centre of the court, which place he rnaiwained unmoved during the whole examination, which was of such a nature as to elicit, in spite of the of n.ts' of the officers, strong marks of disapprobation from the auditory, and in one instance a perfect yell of execration and disgust. It may be in the recoil• ction of the public that during the course of the week an application was made at this court before Alderman Humphery, by a Mr, Fenn, the secretary to the Royal Free Hospital,. Gray's Inn-road, and a Mr. Phillimore, a barrister, residing at 6, Pump-court, Tem for a summons against Mr. George Sloane, a special pleader, occupying chambers in the same house, for sundry assaults and a series of acts of cruelty to a female servant in his employ. The statement made by these gentlemen would of it self have been sufficient to warrant the alderman, with out any further testimony, in granting a summons, hut the evidence of Dr. Meriden, the surgeon to the Royal Free Hospital,went to show that au atrocious system of torment must have been necessary to have reduced the unfortunate girl to the deplorable state in which he found her; It appeared from the statement then made; that. Mr. Sloane had in his service a girl named Jane Wilhred, whom he procured about two years ago from the West London Union. Daring the first five or six months the girl was treated with tolerable kindness, but after that period a system of cruelty was resorted to, the particulars of which almost exceed credibility. By these means she was reduced to a perfect skeleton, and almost unable to walk about. While in that state she was noticed by two gentlemen who occupied chambers in the same house, named respectively Phillimore and Fry. Through the instrumentality of these gentle men she was removed from Mr. Sloane's care, and a medical gentleman was called in, who thought her life in such danger from the treatment she had undergone, that he directed her im mediate removal to the Royal Free Hospital, and took steps, in conjunction with Mr. Phillimore and Mr. Fry, to bring this unparalleled case under the cog nizance of the civil magistrates. As it was uncertain when the girl would be able to bear an examination, it was not known when the case would come on; but, nevertheless, upon the mere chance the court was crowded to excess. The girl was brought from the hos pital in a cab, and remained in the alderman's private room until called upon to give evidence. The following evidence was then gone into:_ John Stevens said—l am clerk to Mr. Phillimore. I have seen defendant's servant several times in Pump court, Temple. I first saw her about the end of last March, or the beginning of April. She appeared to be in a very emaciated state, and excessively weak. I have seen her at intervals since, and during the term time about the house, 6, Pump-court, Temple. She never spoke to me. I asked her on one occasion how she felt, but she returned me no answer. On Friday week last I saw her with her hand on her stomach, holding it up. She was on the staircase at the time, and was coming down with an empty can in her hand. As she appeared very ill, I again asked her how she was, but I received no answer. On the following day (Saturday) I saw h er again in the evening in Mr. Phillimore's room. Defen dant was present at the time, having just brought the girl down. The first question put to her was requiring to know if she was hungry. Defendant left the room. He was not present at the conversation that followed. I obtained some food, and placed it before her, and she was soon after given over to the care of the laundress of the chambers, Mrs. Bell. I have since seen her at Mrs. Bell's residence, at 20, Cursitor-street. She then appeared in the same emaciated condition I had before noticed her in, only very much weaker. John George Phillimore, Esq., a barrister, said—l live in the same house as the defendant in Pump -court, Temple. In consequence of information I went to Mr. Fry, and, after some conversation with him, we resolved to see defendant, and require an explanation. Mr. Fry accordingly went up to defendant's chambers, which are above mine, and in a few minutes returned with de fendant. I addressed him in the presence of Mr. Fry, and told him it was extremely disagreeable to speak to a person in his station upon such a subject as that I was about to mention. I informed him that from certain statements I had heard I must insist upon it that the female servant then with him should be delivered into my custody, and that if he refused to do so he must take the consequences. He asked me what specific charge there was to make against him. I told him that of having half starved the child, and of beating her cruelly. I believe I told him at the same time that I had only heard the charge about half an hour previous. Defendant said, " It I give the child up it will seem like admitting the truth of the charge." I said I would not consid,r it any admission, and that I would prevent my clerk and those around me from making any immediate charge against him. I told him I was resolved the girl should be given into my care, and that I would not leave the Temple until she was. He then left the room, saying, " I wilt bring her to you, and if she chooses to stay with you, .of course I cannot help it." He then went upstairs, ac companied by Mr. Fry, and in a few minutes returned with the girl. I took her by the hand and led her into my room. My clerk was then present, and I believe the Temple porter also. Defendant was about to follow, but I prevented him, observing that if there was any truth in the charge, his presence might intimidate her, and prevent her from telling the truth, and I would there tore see her and judge for myself. Defendant said, " I did not mean that," and immediately retired into Mr. Fry's room, and I went into mine. I sent for some food for the unfortunate creature, and then went to the defendant, and told him that he should not have the girl again, but that she should be placed under the care of the laundress until she was so far convalescent as to be enabled to return to the union. Defendant made some objection to this proceeding, but at length gave way, and left the room directly after. I then went back to the girl, end seat for my laundress, and gave her the nec essary directions for the disposal of the girl. I was goi ng away, when my rested by a knocking at th e door, and the next minute e as she nc e would uagain, get a u n p d a said t a b k i e s witht he d lu e defendant made ill a s sh h e i s w a a p s p , attention was ar wife was determined th at t h e girl should not remain the girl to the workhouse, in company with my clerk. I said that could not be, for that I could not allow the girl to leave my custody, as I was now responsible for her. On the Monday, if she was in a fit stem, I would see about taking her back to the workhouse, but in the meantime she should remain as she was. The defendant then withdrew, leaving the girl in my care, and I sent her to my laundress. On the Monday, when I arrived at the chambers, I thought it right that a physician should • be called in. I saw Mr. Fry, and we agreed that Dr. Marsden should be sent for, which was accordingly done, and he visited the girl. the result of which loom manic:wed to Mr. Sloane, and re ce i ve d a w ritten reply, to which I answered th a t I could hold no commun i cat i on with Mr. Sloane, and I was determined that the girl should not go back to the workhouse again. When de fendant heard that Dr. Marsden hed seen the girl he said he would do anything to assist her. Mr. Stevens was rec a ll e d, and stated that M r . Sl oane had offered to give his carte bl anche for any expenses in curred by the removal of the girl. Mr. Phillimore continued —When I first saw the girl she was in a frightful state of emaciation. Her clothes were wretched, and altogether presented the appearance of the most squalid misery. She ate the food I placed before her with great avidity. Mr. A. A. Fry, a berrisier, living in the same place, corroboret-d this evidence. Mrs. Elizabeth Bell, the laundress to the chambers in Pump-court, said I saw the girl about a year and a half ago. To the best of my belief she appeared then in a good state or health, being fat and in good condition. I saw her at many intervals since, but never had any communication with her until last Christmas, when I remarked a large sore upon her elbow. I asked her what was the matter, to which she replied that her master had struck her with a broom. Mr. Cl ar k son h ere o bj ecte d to a ny conversati ons at she he r colour.a which d e f en d ant was not present b e i ng re p ea t e d h ere. Witness continued—l saw her frequently since, and gave her anything to eat. I cannot say the l as t ti me I saw her, but I believe it was about a lar ed l to be never gradually wasting away, and losing week previous to her being given into my care. I in formed Mr. Stevens of what I had seen, and on Saturday last I received the girl into my care, and I took her home, washed her, and put her to bed. I gave her some bread and meat, and porter. I found she was in a very filthy condition; her gown was very dirty, and likewise her person. While I was washing her back I observed several marks between the shoulders. They were severe bruise& I asked her what was the matter, and sbe said she had been beaten.—(Sensation.) There was no vermin about her. I also observed that her bones were almost coming through her skin, and she could not held herself upright from weakness. Her garments wore all in a very dirty condition. She re mained at my house, 20, Cursitor-street, until Tuesday, when she was removed in a cab, and I went with her to the hospital. At first she appeared to improve; but although I gave her very little toed it seemed too much for her weak stomach. Dr. Marsden, accompanied by another medical gentleman, examined the girl at my house on Monday. Cross•examined by Mr. Clarkson—l have seen hor often carrying water, and she has occasionally com plained to me. On one occasion she seemed very ill when I met her on the stairs. This was since last Christ mas. I mentioned it to Mr. Fry. Francis Lindsey, a little boy, was then put into the witness-box, but his evidence being totally irrelevant, after a few questions, ho was ordered to stand down. have seen the g i r l, J a ne Vl7 ilhred, repeatedly. O n F r i day Jane Lind se y, th e m other of the last witnes s , se id —l week last I met her, and she seamed quite exhausted, which she said arose froth - want of food, not having tasted meat for a fortnight. I gave her nothing because I wa s afraid., Alderman llumphery (indignantly)—You might 'at least have given her some food. Witress—Mrs. Sloane was on the stairs, and if I had spoken to the girl Mrs, Sloan° would have beaten her. Mr. Clot kson objected to this witness's evidence, as it did not concern the defendant. Dr. Wm. Marsden, surgeon to the Royal Free Hos pital, said—l saw the girl at the house of the laundress on Monday evening last, et Mr. Phillimore's request. She was then in a most exhausted condition, the pulse scarcely perceptible, the extremities very cold and livid; the respiration was feeble, and she was almost unable to speak. It was with difficulty that I got her to answer my questions at all. I mode a eare'ul examination of her, and came to the conclusion that there was no dis else existine. It was a ne:e resulting entirely from want of food.—(Great ceasatien.) Sach must have been the case for rainy months, otherwise the girl never could have been in such an attenuated and low condition as she was when 1 first saw her. I ordered serne light and nutriti ous food to be given her in very moderate quantities, and advised her immediate removal to some hospital. She was taken to the Royal Free Hospital, in the Gray's Inn road, on the following morning. But previous to her removal, knowing that some further steps must be taken in the matter, I scut the physician of the hospital (Dr. Heald) to see, her. He did se, and sent IMO the following note— Mr. Clarkson objected to the note being read. Dr. Marsden continued—l did not find it necessary to give her any medicines beyond a slight dose of castor oil. When she arrived at the hospital she was in much the same state as when I saw her on the preceding day. I ordered a continuance of light food to be administered in very smell •quantites. Her pulse is now better. The discolouration and coldness of the extremities is in some degree subsiding, and I consider her to be slowly rallying lam quite satisfied that, if it had not been for the interference of Mr. Phillimore and Mr. Fry, she must have died. She could not have existed in that state many days longer.—(Great sensation.) It was en tirely owing to want of food and warmth. There were marks of violence on various parts of her body, particu larly about the neck and shoulders. They had not been inflicted by anything very hard, such as a stick, for if that had been used the bones must have been broken, as there was nothing to interpose between the skin and bone.—(Sensation.) I have been in the constant habit, during the last twenty years, of seeing cases of extreme distress, in many of which the parties have died a few hours after their admission into the hospital, but I never saw a case at all approaching the appearance presented by that girl. I could not have believed that a person could be so reduced and live. She was certainly the most perfect living skeleton I had ever seen in the course of my life. Alderman Humphery said it would now be necessary that the girl should be brought forward. Two of the officers of the court accordingly went out, and returned carrying a chair, in which the girl was placed. Words would fail to convey an adequate idea of the impression which her appearance produced upon the court. A deep groan seemed to break from every person present involuntarily. She was, as far as it was possible to judge in her then wasted and famished condition, a rather mild and good-looking girl. She was placed in an easy chair, and supported on pillows, and during the whole course of her examination, it was almost impossible to perceive that sho was living, but for the motion of her eyes and lips. She was placed by the side of the presiding alderman, who bad to put his ear close to her mouth to catch the feeble accents which she uttered with great difficulty, and at long intervals. Having repeated the form of oath, and kissed the book which was placed to her lips, she commenced her truly heartrending tale, the like of which perhaps was never heard, even in a court of justice. It will be necessary to state that her replies to the questions only reached the ear of the alderman, who stooped over her for that purpose, and he in turn, repeated them to Mr. Wood, the chief clerk, in a loud voice, that the reporters might bear. For the sake of brevity, we give her statement precisely in her own words, as it reached the court. Jane Watered said—l am going on for eighteen. I recollect being in the West London Union. On the 19th of July, going on for two years ago, I left it to go to Mr. Sloane's. I recollect that Mrs. Sloane came to the union for me. Mrs. Sloane agreed to take me into her service. I never received any wages. Mr. Parker, the governor of the West London Union, went with me to Mr. Sloane's. It was at 6, Pump-court, Temple, where I went to. I did all the work. I had none of the cook ing to do. I had to clean the offices, make the beds, run of errands, and also to wash the clothes belonging to Mr. and Mrs. Sloane and those of a young lady living with Mr. Sloane, as well as my own. I had to wash gene rally once a week, but sometimes once a fortnight. I had only one bed to make, for the young lady used to take a sofa into one of the sitting rooms and sleep there. She was living there all the time I was in Mr. Sloane's ser vice. I had my bed-room. It was a little room between the young lady's and that of Mr. Sloane. I had to sleep on a mattress placed on a bedstead. Thore were clothes upoikit. A; first they treated me pretty well, but after three months they took away the pillow, and I had to the my own clothes instead. At first I had a blanket, counterpane. and sheet, but they took away the blanket. and I had only the sheet and counterpane. It was Mrs. Sloane did this. Mr. Clarkson said it was quite clear that defendant hud nothing to do with it, and that evidence ought not t , ) be taken against him. The Aldertn"an thought otherwise. Mrs. Sloane was supposed to act under his guidance, therefore the defen dant was answerable for her conduct. Jane Witbred continued—l used to get bread and dripping and coffee for breakfast, and meat and potatoes for dinner, and also tea and bread and butter in the evening. That was only at first. A few months after wards they gave me only a little bit of bread and mus tard for breakfast, with coffee and earraway seeds. It was often eleven, twelve, and sometimes one o'clock in the day before I got even that, and and I never had anything before that time, though I rose to my work as early as six o'clock in the morning. There was a cub board where they kept the bread. I never could get to it, but if I could find pieees of bread left oat I used to eat them. I had only for my dinner a little bread and broth, with a quantity of mustard in it. When there was not mustard they gave pepper in such quantities that it used' to burn my mouth. The last time I had meat was about a month before Mr. Philli more saw me ; than I had a little beef, but not nearly so much as I could eat. It was generally six or seven o'clock in the evening before ever I got my dinner, sometimes before and sometimes after Mr. and Mrs. Sloane dined. I used then to have for tea a little bread, and pepper or mustard, but they would not allow me any thing to drink with it. I was not even allowed to take any water. I could not get at it without Mrs. Sloane seeing me, and she would beat me if I attempted it. Mrs. Sloane used often to beat me. She has fre quently beaten me because I have worn the sleeves of my shift on my arms in the morning while I was doing m y work, contrary to her orders. I used to wear them over my arms because I was so cold. That happened nearly every morning. I was beaten besides that, be cause when Mrs. Sloane had gone out and boiled some meat for her cat, when the meat was boiled and the cat bad the meat, the water it was boiled in was put in a basin, she accused me of drinking a little of the water. I said I had not, but she beat me very much for it.—(Great sensation.) Mr. Sloane was often present when was beaten. M r. Clarks j o i n u in h p e h re e r a y ga s i a n id objected th at w ha t t li t a h t e the girl evidence did did not in any way i mp li cate t h e d efendant. Alderman told him implicated Mr. Sloane in the highest degree. (It will bo necessary, although extremely disgusting, to use the girl's own words.) Jane Wiltired continued—My mistress (Mrs. Sloane) said once to me that I must eat some of my own dirt (excrement). I said I would not, and was determined not to do so. She called Mr. Sloane, and he came and held me while she forced some of the dirt down my throat. (The whole of the persons assembled in court here burst into a loud and long-continued yell of indignation against the defendant, nor did the officers of the court make the least attempt to repress this expression of feeling, so much did every one, even to the alderman on the bench, appear to share the feeling of abhorrence which these disclosures produced.) Alderman Hutnphery here, in an under-tone, said that he did not think his feelings would allow him to continue such an examination any longer. The witness, however, continued—Mr. Sloane beat me the first thing in the mornincr. Be used to ask me if I had enough to eat, a nd I used' to answer "Yes." I did not complain, because I thought 'could not get any more from them than what they gave me. I did not think of going to the union to complain, because I did not know where it was. The young lady used to cook for Mr. and Mrs. Sloane. They used to have sometimes roast and at other times boiled beef. I used to wait at table, though they did not give me anything to eat then. After dinner the meat used to be put away in a cupboard in the sitting room, and I was not allowed to go into that room unless Mrs. Sloane or the young lady was with me. Alderman Humphery, through whom all these answers had come, here said that witness had said some thing about an hospital, but he could not catch sufficient to understand it. The witness had tor some time spoken with increasing difficulty, and it was evident she was be coming exhausted by the length of the examination. Mr. Clarkson rose to cross-examine, and said, " When did Mr. Sloane beat you?" After a long interval, the witness whispered to the Alderman, " Mr. Sloane boat me about a month ago." After replying to this she appeared to fall asleep, and became perfeelly unconscious. Dr. Marsden, who had been attentively watching the unfortunate girt's 04)2-Avarice, here rose, and; said the cross-examination must be instantly discontinued, as in the present cpn talon of the girl she could not pos sibly sustain it any longer. Mr. Clarkson, who throughout the case behaved with great feeling, here said, that under the present painful circumstances, he would willingly forbear putting any further questions in the present state of the unfortunate witness. He believed that when the case came to be further investigated it would present a different aspect than that which it now appeared to wear. His client was willing that every inquiry should be made. Alderman Ilumphery (with erephaiis)—There shall indeed be another inquiry, and Mrs. Sloane must also appear to answer.this serious charge. I n a nswer to a question as to whether he would take hail, the Alderman said he could not at that moment de termine. It was not improbable (though he hoped that such would not be the case) but that the unfortu nate girl might dio in the interim. Alog was, hoyever, [PRICE SD. ultimately accepted, and Mr. Sloane was bound over, himself in 2001., and two sureties in 1001. each, to appear and answer the charge next week. . . During the foregoing examination stimulants were found necessary to be administered to the girl, to keep her from fiinting; and at the cluse of the probeedirvgs she was conveyed back to the hospital in a cab, under the care of Mr. Robertson, the house surgeon.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Dec. 7. (Sittings in Middlesex, at Nisi Prins, after Michaelmas Term, before Lord CAMPBELL and Special Juries.) TUE QUEEN v. CURTIS. This was an indictment against the defendant for an indecent assault committed on a boy, near the Mile-end; road, on the 10th of July last. Mr. Sergeant Shee, with Mr. Parry and Mr. Parnell, de fvn den% The details of the case were of too filthy a character for publication. The jury eventually, after an absence from court el some hours, gave a verdict of Guilty. BA.V.YER V. LORD WARD. This was an action to recover the sum of 3,160/. for pictures and china which the plaintiff alleged his Lord sbip bad purchased of him, but had not paid fur. The defendant paid 9001. into court. Mr. Crowder (with Mr. Bovill) appeared for the plain tiff; end Mr. M. Chambers and another Learned Gentle. man were for the defendant. It appeared that the plaintiff is a collector of articles of virtu in Piccadilly, and that on the occasion of , he sale at Stowe a person of the name of Farrer had acted as buyer for the noble defendant. It hap pened that, in the month of June, 1849, through this .vitness, Lord Ward obtained an introduction to the plaintiff, who was the owner of a beautiful service .if Sevres china, which was sold at Messrs. Christie and Manson's. That service his Lordship eventually purchased, on the 3d or 4th of July, for 1,6001. During Ldrd Ward's visit to the plaintiff's, he asked the witness whether the plaintiff would sell the whole of the very beautiful collection of works of art which were in that room in one lot? There were valuable paint inas, articles of virtu, and so forth, about the room. Farrar made the inquiry, but the plaintiff declined to do io. Lord Ward then pointed out some articles which it was his wish to purchase, and among these things was a sec of twelve unique chairs, but the plaintiff ex pressed his unwillingness to dispose of the chairs, at all vents so long as he remained in town. Therefore .iethieg was done about the chairs. Lord Ward then 'elected a picture by Crevelli, .‘ St. George and the Dragon," another by Da Vinci, and several others, for which the price was 3,160/. His Lordship paid 1,0001. 'or the Crevelli. Farrar, in his cross-examination, said e had received five per cent. commission from the plain- Jiff upon the amount that Lord Ward had paid. Mr. M. CHAMBERS addressed the jury for the defen 'Lint, but. at its conclusion, Lord CAMPBELL said, there really was no defence to he action. The jury thereupon gave a verdict for the plaintiff— Darnag-s, 3 1601., less the 1,0001. paid for the Crevelli and thf, 9001. paid into Court COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Dec. 7. (Sittings in Banco.) The Court proceeded with the new trial paper, but the business of the day was not productive of any materials •or a report. Sitting; at Middlesex, at Nisi Prius, after Michaelmas Term, before the CHIEF BARON and Special Juries.) GAY V. SHACKLE AND ANOTHER. Mr. E. James, with Mr. J. K. Brown conducted the case for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Shee, with Mr. !1. Hill, for the defendants. This was an action to recover compensation in da mages hr un injury alleged to have been sustained in consequence of false imprisonm-nt, at the instance of the de , endants. The defendants pleaded "Not Guilty." it appeared !hat the defendants are both in the service of the Eastern Counties Railway, the one as a police offi,er, and the other in the capacity of superintendent of on, of the depertments in the establishment at the Snureditch station. The plaintiff; who is one of the deputy cornnaeters of the city of London, with a friend of the neese of Towne, drove down to Rumford on the 34 of April in the present year, but, in consequence of en accident having happened to the vehicle in which .hey had ridden, they were compelled to avail them selves of the Eastern Counties Railway. They accord ingly purchased two tickets for the " third" class, On arriving at the platform they found that there was no room in any one of the " third" class carriages, and therefore they sp-ke to one of the porters, by whom they were told to get into a "second" class, as the train was on the start. The plaintiff, however, said, "We have only third-class tickets; will it be right?" To this the reply was, "Oh, yes, it's all riot." The defendant and his friend accordingly travelled to London in the second•class carriage; but on their arrival at Shore ditch the guard asked them for an extra niuepence each, that being the difference between the two fares. Of course, under the peculiar circumstances of the case, both refused to comply with the demand, Mr. Towne re marking that they had ridden in the second class to ac commodate the company. The guard, nevertheless, per sisted in the demand, and as they were walking along the platform the guard beckoned to another man, who subsequently proved to be the defendant Shackell, who was then in plain clothes. The case was then repeated to him. Th 0 pleintiff and his friend gave their explanation of the reason why they had travelled in the second instead of the third-class carriage, and went on to say that their eteterneut could be verified by ono of the company's guards, who rode with them from Rumford to Forest gate. Towne then asked Shackell who he was, when the latter replied, " You will find me a man of business." The former then inquired "if he and his friend were in custody," which question Shackell evaded by saying, "You must come with me," whereupon Towne said, "I eliall not air an inch unless by coercion." Upon this both parties were conducted to a room, where they found the other defendant, Church, to whom the cir cumstances of the case were related. Towne expressed els readiness to go back to Rumford for the purpose of pointing out the porter by whom they had been told to get into the second class carriage, or to pay the expense of sending sbme one down to make inquiry into the truthfulness of their statement. Previously to tie matter having arrived at this point, Towne had handed his card with his address upon it to Shackell, but the plain tiff had refie•tel to give his, in consequence of some irri ttting observations which had been made by that i , tileer, to the effect that they had made a false state ment. Eventually the defendant Church gave direc tions for Shackell to accompany the parties to a police court. The plaintiff anti his friend were therefore walked through the public streets, between tour , ind five o'clock in the afternoon, to the police. court in Wet. ship-street, where they were detained some time in an outer office amongst other prisoners, several of whom had since been convicted and transported. When the pirticulars of the case had been represented to Mr. Arnold, the sitting magistrate, that gentleman at once dismissed the charge, and intimated to Shackell that if , here were any real demand the parties should have been summoned, and not brought to a police-court, especially, too, as he had received the card with the ad dress of one of them. After the case had bean dis missed, the plaintiff and Towne walked away with Shackell, and accompanied him to the station for the purpose of ascertaining the result of the inquiry which was to be made by moans of the electric telegraph, when they found that all the answer that had been returned i a planed tea of,. to the inquiry was—" that the porter cons at complained r w and 'h f i s for such injury i w t was hic which injury the plaintiff that be now sought com pensation. Evidence having been adduced in support of the above outline of facts, Mr. H. HILL addressed the jury on behalf of the de fendants, contending, in the first instance, that no proof hal been given of the fact of the plaintiff and his friend having either been given or taken into custody by either or both of the defend ants. Several witnesses were called to support this view of the matter, namely, that so far horn the persons having been gi►en into custody they had themselves suggested the appeal to the magistrate to settle the question. Mr. E. JAMES replied in an excellent and humorous speech. Toe CHIEF BARON then left it to the jury to say whe ther either or both the defendants had been guilty of what was imputed to them by the plaintiff; if so, then, they would find for the plaintiff against either or both, and also say what amount of damage that gentleman had sustained, The jury consulted for a few moments, and then gave a verdict for the plaintiff as against both the de fendants—Damages 100/, PUBLIC BATHS AND WASHHOUSES —On the 4th inst. memorials were presented to the corporation of Tyne mouth from the burgesses and ratelmyers of North Shields and Tynemoutii, praying the council to erect public bathe andwashousei under the provisions of the Rev. Sir Henry Dukinfield's Act. The Council resolved, by alarge majority. to,proceed as early as possible to erect baths and wash houses for the ; use of ttie poor in the borough," and they instructed t . 44 town clerk to procure the details necessary to enable the council to carry out the measure with vigour and effect. Tile corporations of Newcastle and Sunderland have already availed themselves of the facilities afforded under the Act. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. APPOINTMENTS. Lieutenants—C. A. P. V.

The new commander of the Penguin, late Brazil packet brig, and just paid off at Devonport, we believe will be Commander Thomas Etheridge, 1848. The Steward of Greenwich Hospital, Paymaster Thomas F. Jessop (1797), died on Friday last, aged 72. This veteran officer was purser of the Diane, in the ex pedition to Egypt in 1801, of the Northumberland at St. Domingo, and of the Ramilies in the operations on the coast of America in 1813, 1814, and 1815. He held the appointment at Greenwich from April 16, 1834, and was generally respected and esteemed throughout the esta blishment. The salary of the appointment is 5001., with apartments, &c., and it is reported that Mr. John Elliott, one of the senior and most distinguished pa) - masters in the service, now storekeeper at the Victual ling-yard, Deptford, will succeed to the vacancy. This officer has seen a great deal of war service, and has four medals for his gallantry. He is brother of that highly-distinguished officer, the late Captain Sir W. Euiott, and in the course of his career, we find by " Allen's New Navy List," served as midshipman in the Mars, 84, at the desperate capture of the Hercule, in 1798; was clerk of the Russell, at Copenhagen; purser of the Elk, in action with a Spanish flotilla off Cartha gena, on the Spanish Main, in 1805; and of Arethusa, at the taking of Curacoa, in 1807; was officially men tioned for services in the Arethusa's beats on the north coast of Spain, particularly at the destruction of the . • batteries, &c., of Bsgnio, in 1809. Whilst performing the duty of a lieutenant, this officer has been repeat edly and most creditably engaged in cutting-out ser vices, &c. Many are named for Mr. Elliott's vacancy, and among them we may prominently mention Mr. Tris cott, who has served with much satisfaction for a Lag period, on foreign stations, and was late agent vic tualler at Bermuda, but who has been trausterred to Plymouth Victualling-yard ; and Mr. Ede, assistant storekeeper at Deptford. THE INCONSTANT.—COURT OF INQUIRY.—DxFON• PORT, FRIDAY.—The Court of Inquiry on the Na►al In structor is still progressing, nn boar, the Impr , gnable flag-ship, with what result is not known. The Incon stant will be paid off to-morrow. Geyser, 6, steam-sloop ,Commander Tatham, arrived at Madeira from Davonport, Nov. 19, and left the twat du_ for the Brazils. Phaeton, su, Captain G. Elliott, was taken out of the Angle Dock on Saturday, and will go out of the basin alongside her hulk to-day. She is rigging fast, and has already her topgallant masts pointed through the cups. She has a novel invention (we believe French) for set ting up her lower rigging. She has no dead eyes, her shrouds are turned round a smallish thimble, with a large score, and instead of rope she has iron plates for lanyards ; the lanyard (or substitute) is in two pieces, the upper half, fast to the shroud thimble, has two sides, or is what may be called a long jaw, the lower piece fast to the chain-plate is a single piece, both have cirrespondicg holes, and when the shroud is taught a short bolt is put through the holes and secures both pieces together. The rigging is set up in a very simple .and ingenious manner ; a strong arm of iron is hooked to the chain-plate, and a short "poweiful lever, which is worked with a common Taff tackle, when one shroud is up this iron lever, &e., is shifted to the next shroud. These iron lanyards look light ; they are supposed to be capable of bearing a strain equal to about 15 or 20 tons. One was tried last week, and a strain equal to 36 tons put on, when the shroud broke, and from the jar of the shroud breaking the plate broke. The Sprightly, steam tender, Dilater-Commander armed at Portsmouth, from Devonport, on Sun day afternoon. PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY.—The Amphitrite, 24, will be removed from dock on Wednesday, refitted for re commission. The Castor, 36, Commodore Wyvill, Commander-in- Chief on the Cape uf Good Hope station, was in Table Bay on the 6th of October from the Mozambique. Captain George Woolcombe (1830) has accepted the retirement of 18s. per diem. A letter from the Sharpshooter iron screw-sloop, Lieutenant-Commander Bailey, dated Rio, September the 20th, states that while lying at anchor off the Island of Francisco, about 200 miles to the northward of Rio, she observed a suspicious sail in the tifing, to which she gave chase, and in two hours boarded, w h en s h e p rove d to be the melia, a small cutter, fitted for the slave trade, with 74 human beings on board, ail of whom were chit. dren averaging from eight to nine years of age, whom she shipped at Elephant Bay, having previously marched them 19 miles for embarkation! Twenty of these poor creatures died on the passage, and many others were in a dying state when captured, owing to want o• good wafer and wholesome food, both which necessaries she had run out of several days prior to her capture. This is the fifth prize made by the Sharpshooter since she has been on the station—scarcely three months. The Hercules, - 2, store ship, Kist er-Commvnder Fulton, arrived this morning fr.m t•ye She sailed from Gibraltar on the 29th ult.

SIDNEY HERBERT AND THE _ PUSEYITES _ Mr. Sidney Herbert has been making a speech to his constituents, assembled in county conference, on the all engrossing subject of the day. With a certain con sciousness of being what in the Reign of Terror was called " one of the suspect," the astute representative of Wiltshire has deemed it safer to volunteer his own ver sion of the matter than to wait for int. rrogation. "I shall be very frank," said the Right Hon. Gentleman at the commencement of his curious oration. That was what the late Sir Robert Peel invariably used to say whenever he meant to be particularly cloudy.. The Member for Wilts was one of his favorite dis ciples ; and, to du him justice, he seems to be au adept in hi . master's ways of political speech. His promise " to be frank" he cnaainly kept, so far as the things done by the Roman Church and the things left un done by the Anglican Church are concerned. He had no hesitation in abusing the Pope and bantering the Cardinal, Ho called the tone of the bull " blasphe mous," and ridiculed the style of the Pastoral as a bad imitation of that in use among the Chietillat His audience obligingly cheered the former and laughed at the latter remark. Furthermore, he confessed that our bishops had rather too much pay and our working clergy too little. He openly pronounced in favour of church extension in its widest sense, and solemnly declared that when he saw and beard all that was passing around him, he thought the assumption that England was about to become reconciled to the Papacy, one of the—but he would not utter the word that his indignation put upon his lips! The mingled force of candour and of charity could no further go; and a discriminating audience, fan cying that the speaker had actually said something, cheered in the usual manner. Only unto one is the crowd did the gift of inter preting tongues appear to be given. In a brief pause of the Peeitan oration, a aide voice in the multitude was heard to exclaim—" What is to be done with the visitors in our own camp?" As if awakened from • meemerising process, everybody suddenly seemed to remember that this after all was the main question at issue, and the only one to which, as electors of Wilts, that they were interested in getting from their Right Hon. Lecturer a categorical reply. Vehement cries cf Hear," interspersed with yet more pointed exclama tions, bespoke the ready and unanimous assent of all to the blunt but moat pertinent is terrogation. But their adroit representative was not to be caught so easily. It was a critical moment for a gentleman who had for years been supposed to be no parsimonious contributor to the propagation of that peculiar form of faith now branded as insidious heresy. To flinch, in the face of his country, from whet he had hitherto professed to patro nise, would have been shabby, and useless into the bar gain. To avow it manfully would have required what Mr. Roebuck calls " civil courage"—a quality which no man of Mr. Sidney Herbert's school was ever supposed to possess. Oae only alternative remained—to be " frank," in the Peelite and Puseyite sense—that is, intensely evasive, unintelligible, and obscure. " What is to be done with the traitors?" ejaculated the ex-Mi ulster: "I am glad that question is asked, and I shall answer it frankly." Whereupen the polemical Candide went off at a right -augle upon the capacity and disposi tion to judge fairly of the q ua r re l, an d the n passing by a circuitous detour through the heathen deserts within the realm of England, where the scene of church exteusion labaurs is said to lie, the wily worthy came to a rotund conclusion, without venturing even once within &peeking distance of the notable question with which he was to have dealt so frankly, and with which he was in fact so delighted to deal! Not a word Ives said on the subject. Ihe traitors and treason re main, and will so continue, as well as the far more effr ciest anti sabti, eneini: s of genuine Protestantism than reseripts or bishops appointed by R tine, for tete ht that memner for Niles or the Rignt Rev. Lord of (Wow will eo .ttwards tteir eviction. It Mr. Sidney liernert cholislies any ambition to stand for the county next time (end the occasion may be neater at hand than people iussgine), he must choose de finitively what side he intends to espouse in future, and be prepared, at least for a decent while, to stick to it. If his mind be so coustituted that he finds it hard to nold heartily any opinion, or to entertain zealously any attachment to party iu Church or State, that is his misfortune tor which he may be with more reasoa pitied than blamed. A man who feels no confidence inspires none; a man wno is conscious of no enthusiasm clan never become its object. He may be a convenient, conventional, commonplace person of station and in fluence; more he can never be. But even for that third-class position he must have or assume the pluck to say out what he allows his friends to suppose he thinks upon vital questions. County electors are easily duped enough, Heaven knows, and sometimes too easily made to submit to supercilious contempt from their represen tatives. But even Wiltshire farmers may find out that they have been done. And finished as their Russian envoy is in the arts of diplomacy, there are subjects to which these accomplishments are misapplied, and the national religion is one of them.— Daily News. ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON AND NORTII-WESTERN RAILWAY.—A collision occurred on the London and North- Weste•n Railway on Saturday evening, under circumstances that deserve especial notice. The Tring train due at Eus ton-square at a quarter to nine P.M. reached the Harrow aide of the Primrose•hill Tunnel, when some fog signals exploded, and the train stopped close to the signal-hut there. On this spot it stood for a very considerable time, but was at length moved some short distance within the tunnel, and then again stopped. Two faster trains were becoming rapidly due, and the condition of the passengers became more and more perilous. Still the train stood still for a period that seemed hours, which, in fact, was, it is stated, full 50 minutes, when the expected shock came, the following train entering the tunnel and ran into the carriages waiting there. The collision was so severe that the last car riage in the still train was broken in all directions. The train, however, was shortly after got slowly into motion, and arrived at Euston station. Happily no lives were lost, but the driver of the Tring train was thrown by the collision with great violence against the boiler, and had one of his arms much cut and bruised. Only one of the passengers in this train appears to have been seriously hurt, though all were of course much shaken. It is a rather remarkable fact that the two passenprs who were the most injnred occupied the centre compartment of a first-class carriage about the middle of the Birmingham train. One was a gentleman named Weston, resident in Dover-street, Piccadilly, whose legs were much hurt; the other gentleman resides in St. James's•street, and he has had his shins severer• cut. One passenger in the Tring train, resident in the Westminster road, was also slightly injured. FIRE AND LOSS OF LIFE AT ISLINGTON.-011 Saturday, between the hours of one and two in the afternoon, a tire broke out on the premises of Mr. Borlinder, No. 21, Richard-street, Islington. The flames were first seen issuing from several of the windows. Messengers were immediately dispatched, an d three engines were speedily in attendance. After great exertions the fire was prevented from extending beyond the first floor ; but the property in the house was considerably damaged, and an old lady, aged 71, name d Frances Borlinder, the mother of the owner of the house, was unfortunately burned to death. Her body, when discovered, was completely black. It is not known how the fire originated. . . ST.
