The perpetrator of the atrocious deed is a farmer named John Alickleburgh, who occupies about 50 acres of land in his own right in the neighbour hood of Thraudeston, a scattered village and parish in the Hartismere Hundred, three miles and a half north west of this town. He is a married man and has three children, the eldest of whom, a girl, is 14 years of age. The unhappy creature who perished was a single woman named Mary Baker, who for two years and a half had been in the service of Mickleburgh as a ge neral domestic servant. Although he NVQS married, and his wife and family lived with him under the same roof, it was evident that he had formed a strong attachment for the girl, and from his representations it would seem that an improper intercourse had existed between them. The girl, however, was ge nerally considered a ',yell conducted person, and nothing was ever seen up to the period of the tragical affair that would tend to show that she gave him any encou ragement. On Thursday last a large cattle fair, with shows and booths, was held. in the village, and Mary Baker obtained permission from her mistress to attend it, it being a general holiday among the domestics in that part of the country. She first visited her sister, a married woman named French, who, in the course of the afternoon, accomp an i e d h er to the fair. A young man named Boatman joined them, and was considered to be the deceased's sweetheart. Mickleburgh having learned where she had gone, also visited the fair. He found her and followed her about, and seemed highly incensed at her talking with the young man Boatman. Wishing, however, to conceal his feelings from Boat man, he i nv it e d hi m w ith th e d ecease d i nto a booth, kept b y a person named Eastaugh, where he treated them t o b randy and water and wine, and while there the de ceased ' s sister, Mrs. French, and her husba n d came in, called f or more wine to treat them. He solicited the whom h e was a l so acq u a i n ted w ith, an d young man Boatman to drink more freely than he did, apparently with a v i ew o f ma ki ng hi m intoxi cated, and so o b ta i ning possession of the girl. Boat man, however, resisted his entreaties, and between six and seven o'clock left the booth in company with the deceased. Before quitting, Mickleburgh asked the deceased what time her mistress exp ec t e d h er h ome . She replied, "About half -past n i ne o'clock," and, after they had gone Mrs. French follo we d them, leaving her husband drinking with Mickleburgh. Some time transpiring, and French not coming home, his wife returned to the booth, where she waited until they came out. Mickleburgh then addressed her, saying, " Tell Mary (meaning the deceased) to get home by 9 o'clock. I will be in the meadow (alluding to one ad jacent to his farm) just before nine, as I want to see her." He appeared much excited, and she understo o d that if the deceased girl did not meet him he would be revenged. He p a rt e d w ith them and went in another direction of the fair, while Mrs. French and her husband proceeded to a public-house kept by a man named Barrett, where the deceased and her sweetheart (Boatman) were regaling themselves. Within a short time of Mickleburgh parting with the Frenches he went to the stall of a hawker in the fair and purchased a stiletto knife, with a blade some four or five inches in length and protected by a spring back. In the course of the next half-hour he visited the house where the deceased was. There was a sort of village frolic going on, and all were enjoying them selves, the company amounting to about forty or fifty people. What followed will be best gathered from the unfortunate girl's own statement, which was taken by a magistrate shortly after she had received the fatal injury. She said—" I was sitting in this house alongside of William Boatman, with whom I had been keeping company, and my sister, Clara French : About eight o'clock in the evening my master came in, exclaiming, Ah, Mary, I see you.' I made no reply, nor did I observe anything in his manner to excite alarm. He left the room immediately, and returned in about two minutes, and without saying a word he came up to where I was sitting and plunged a large knife in my side. I did not feel it until he drew the knife out, when he said, Now, Mary, you have it now.' I saw the knife in his hand. Boatman was sitting by my side all the time. I recollect nothing more until I found myself upstairs in bed. I solemnly declare there has been nothing improper between me and Mr. blickleburgh." Most of the persons in the room witnessed the occurrence. He was instantly seized. He offered not the slightest resistance, nor did he evince the least emotion at the fearful act he had com mitted. He said that he had had his revenge, and all he regretted was that his arm had not been stronger, as he would have given her four inches more of it, and he hoped he had finished her and she would die. The poor girl survived but a very few hours. The point of the stiletto had entered the cavity of the stomach to the extent of four or five inches, dividing all the vital parts. • Yesterday the prisoner, John ➢lickleburgb, un derwent an examination at the Town-ball, before the Rev. T. Lee French and a full bench of magistrates, on the charge of murder. lie was wretchedly de jected, and fainted during the course of the pro ceedingg. Mr. PALAtER attended to watch the evidence for the prisoner. . The principal witnesses examined were the young man William Boatman, Mr. and Mrs. French, and some other persons, but the only additional fact that came out in their statements was, that the prisoner went into one of the out-houses after he had first entered the room of the public-house and had seen the de ceased, and deliberately opened the knife. As before observed, he returned to the apartment, and plunged it into the unfortunate girl. The shawl, gown, and stays v‘ hich she wore at the time were produced, and they bore holes in them corresponding in size with the blade of the knife. William Sayer, a licensed hawker, proved selling the prisoner the knife between six and seven o'clock on the evening of the murder. He wassober at the time. Mr. Miller, surgeon, of Eye, stated, that he had made a post mortem examination of the deceased. He found a punctured wound about half an inch long, and between four and five inches in depth, at the lower part of the left side of the chest, between the eighth and ninth ribs. It passed into the spleen, and into the mesentery. It caused death. Juhn Baker, a police-officer, stationed at Mendle sham, deposed that he was at the fair. About eight o'clock in the evening he was informed that a young woman bad been stabbed. Went to Barrett's house, and found the prisoner seated by the side of John French. He told him that he was charged with stab bing the deceased, and took him into custody. Pri soner said, " You may take me and do what you like with me. I have done what I intended to do, and I hope I have done it effectually; had my arm been a little stronger I would have given her three or four inches more of it. I have always done what I liked with her since she has lived with me." Witness be lieved he was tipsy at the time. When Sillett, another officer, came up, the prisoner said, " Ah! Sillett, you may take me," He repeated the wish about the strength of his arm, and &aid, "I mean f o r revenge." He stat e d th a t e went to a stall in the fair and purchased the knife ; he gave tls. for it. He added, that he then went to Barrett's, and when he got into the house Mary Baker, the deceased, said, "Ah ! master, here am I." Prisoner answered, " you shan't be long before you have this piece of steel." He then went into the back-house and opened the knife. When it was open it was like a dagger. He also said, "If I have not killed her now I hope she will die. If she don't come to my proposals I have got the best brace of pistols the world can produce i " He added, that on the Wednesday night before his wife went to Diss Mary sl e pt w ith him. prisoner s wife came to see him at th e s t a tion-house about six o'clock in the morning. He said to her, "Now you rwo ago know all about it ; if you had died a year searched this would not have occurred." Witness searched him, and found a large claspknife. enough u h g a That isf for r o h t e t r hy , knife I did it ß w en it c h h , nest assizes.

The schools, together with library and news-room, were erected five years ago, by Messrs. Gardner and Bazley, at a cost of upwards of 5,0001.

HOME CIRCUIT.—Lewes, August 5. The commission for the county of Sussex was opened on Monday afternoon by Chief Justice Jervis, and his Lordship afterwards charged the grand jury and pro ceeded to try some of the prisonars. The gaol calendar is rather heavier than usual, there being 45 prisoners for trial. On the civil side only two causes were entered, one a sp,cial jury cause, and the other an undefended common jury. CROWN SlDE.—(Bsfore Chief Justice JEavrs.) William. Henry Challis, 13, errand boy, pleaded Guilty to an indictment ch.trging him with having unlawfully thrown a certain substance into one of the carriages tra velling upon the Brighton Railway, and thereby endan gering the safety of the passengers. Sentence was deferred. Elizabeth Wickens, 20, was indicted for wilful and corrupt perjury. Mr. Creasy prosecuted, and Mr. Woollett was counsel for the defence. The perjury imputed to the defendant was, that at the Lent assizes for dais county, in 1850, she had falely charged three men named Waters, Lewis, and Wilkin son with having committed a robbery, with violence, upon her. Upon this occasion she swore that on the 28th of September, 1849, while she was on her way from Salehur4t to Cranbrook, she was attacked by the three men, who knocked her down and robbed her of a purse containing a sovereign and other money, and upon this evidence they were all convicted and sentenced to be transported for fourteen years. The prisoners were sub sequently removed to the Penitentiary, in pursuance of their sentence, and, in consequence of representations that were made to them by the authorities, inquiries were made, the result of which was that the present charge was preferred against the defendant. The three prisoners who had been convicted were examined to prove that they did not rob the defendant, as she had represented, and there was some little confir mation of their story in the evidence of the daughter of a farmer, named Cheeseman, who resided near the place where the robbery was alleged to have been committed, and who stated that she heard the prosecutor call out that she hr.d lost her money before the three men came up to her, and also that none of the men ran away in the wood close by after the occurrence. It appeared, how ever, that the defendant was very drunk at the time, and that she went to a public. house close by immediately afterwards, and told the same story she did at the trial, and that she had all along persisted in the truth of her statement. The CHIEF JUSTICE, at the close of the case for the prosecution, expressed an opinion that the evidence was hardly sufficient to justify the jury in c9ming to the conclusion that the defendant had wilfully and corruptly sworn what she knew to be false. The defendant was in liquor at the time, and it was probable that she might have made a mistake as to the parties who had robbed her. Mr. CREASY, upon this intim4tion from the Court, withdrew from the prosecution, and The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. MIDLAND CIRCUIT.— Warwick, Aug. 4. CIVIL SlDE.—(Betoro Mr. Baron PARK E and a Common Jury.) RICHARDS v. RUTHERFORD. This was an action of trim con., to which the de fendant pleaded " Not guilty, and leave and licence." Mr. Sergeant Miller and Mr. A. It. Adams were counsel for the plaintiff; Mr. Macaulay, Q.C., and Mr. Wilmore, Q.C., for the defendant. The plaintiff was formerly engaged at Nottingham as an agent for the sale of lace, and in consequence of the falling-off of that business he had afterwards kept a commercial bearding-house, which was a good deal fre quented by the defendant, who was an owner of stone quarriers at Wingerworth, in Derbyshire. In the month of March last the plaintiff sailed for America, and was absent from the country rather more than three months. Immediately after his departure the plain tifi'a wife and the defendant went to Birmingham, where they opened a provision shop. The plain tiff's four children and the wife's sister were brought to that house; and just before Easter the eldest daughter died. The business was managed by the plaintiff's wife, but the defendant was a frequent visitor at the house, and on all those occasions they lived to gether without any concealment as man and wife. On Easter Mondey, the day after the daughter's funeral, they went away together to a coffee-house in Bull-street, and there remained for two or three days; after which they made an excursion to London to inspect the won ders of the Great Exhibition. Soon after they had re turned to :he provision-shop, a letter was received from the plaintiff, bearing the Now York post-mark, the effect of which was that in a few days the wife andehe defen dant eloped, the wife's sister being left in charge of the shop and the children. The wife's sister was the prin cipal witness for the plaintiff; but, on cross-examina tion, she admitted that she bad never remonstrated either with her sister or the defendant upon the gross depravity of their conduct. Upon her admis sions, also, both the plaintiff and his wife ap peared to have led very immoral lives; and, upon one occasion, at least, to have indulged in mutual imputa tions of a very offensive kind. Several witnesses were called for the defendant, who, by reference to particular instances, strongly confirmed this view of the plaintifi's character, and for the purpose of supporting the plea of leave end licence, it wee shown that the plaintiff, shortly before his departure, had permitted the defendant to take his wife to Birmingham for the purpose of finding there a shop suitable to her circumstances, and that the expenses of this journey had been defrayed by the de• feudant; but the plaintiff himself had supplied money for the purpose of taking the shop, and had asked the de fendant to stand his friend in the matter. After the action had been commenced the defendant's attorney offered "to buy peace" by giving the plaintiff 251. and the stock remaining in the shop, but this offer was rejected. Mr. Sergeant MILLER having replied, The Learned JUDGE Summed up, and the jury re turned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 15/. WESTERN CIRCUIT.—Bodmin, Aug. 4. The commission was opened here on Saturday by Lord Campbell and Mr. Justice Coleridge. Yesterday ther Lot dsiiips attended Divine service, and this morn ing the business of the assize commenced. In the civil court, in which Mr. Justice Coleridge sat, there was, for the present circuit, a very heavy cause list, there being no less than eight causes entered; three, however, were undefended, and a third was settled. One case had excited coneidErable interest, and was the following; voters, and I in consequence had communications with other voters. I advanced money to five voters altoge ther—one was 25/., and tho others were 201. I com municated to Hoehn' that he might have the loan, and I gave him 20/. It was understood he was to give his promissory note for it. I told him if he would give his promissory note I would ask Sir Samuel to lend him the money. I kept the note until it was sent fur by Smith and 11 , berts. In consequence of the splitting of votes the contest be• came between Lacey and Spry. He was annoyed at los ing the election. I think the note was sent to Smith and Roberts in 1848. I had nothing to do with applying for the interest though the note remained in my desk. I do not know how you manage your notes (at Liskeard). I kept all the notes, and handed them over in 1848. I cannot tell whether all the five voted for Spry alone. Cross-examined—I canvassed Hochio in 1847. There was no promise made to him of any money for giving his vote, nor any conversation of the kind. There was nothing said about any election at the time of the loan. I had no authority to lead but upon what I thought good security, and I considered the note good security. One of the other notes was paid. Re•examined—l should be very sorry to be instru mental in speaking to any voter on the subject of his vote as regards any corrupt motive. I have been an agent at all the elections since 1832. I never held out any promise to any voter, or heard of any such thing, either at Bothnia or Liskeard. No action was brought against either of these five till after the petition was dismissed, in 1848. I delivered up all the notes at the same time. Mr. Smith, for the defendant, urged that this was, in fact, an undefended cause, and that there was not the least pretence for the plea set up. Mr. TG:i 4 ICO COLERIDGE, in summing up, said that un less the defendant could establish one of his pleas, the verdict must pass for the p!aintiff, and of course that which the defendant undertook to prove he had the bur den of proof cast upon him, and he was bound to make it out. The nature of the defence was this, he said— you call upon me for the payment of a promissory note, as if you had lent me money, whereas the substance of the transaction was this—you gave me 204, either in consideration of the vote I bad given for you, or in con sideration of a vote you expected I should give, and then, having done that in order to disguise and conceal it from the world, it was treated nominally as a loan, and I gave you the promissory note as security, as if there had been a loan; but, in truth, there never was any loan at all, and it was a gift. The question, there fore, for the jury was, whether the defendant had made it out; they were not to take it upon guess, but to de termine whether it had been proved. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff. CROWN COURT. Lord Campbell presided in this court. The calendar contained the names of 20 prisoners. The charges are some of them of a very serious nature. William Bartle was indicted for sending letters to Joseph Thomas, of Mullion, in this county, threatening to burn and destroy the property of him, the said Joseph Thomas. This prisoner was indicted and tried at the last as sizes for a similar offence, when it was fully reported; ho was then acquitted upon that charge. There were se veral similar indictments against him; but in conse quence of the prisoner's sister having written letters to the Chief Baron and the jury, his Lordship directed that the trial should be postponed to the present assizes; and this morning the prisoner was put upon his trial, when the same circumstances were adduced against him. He was convicted and sentenced to 15 years' transportation. The COURT sentenced her to three months' hard labour at Brixton. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. George Thomas was brought before Sir Peter Laurie for final examination, upon the charge of having been concerned with others in stealing a cash.hox containing upwards of 601. the property of Anton Scherzinger, pro prietor of the Horse and Trumpeter public-house, in Crutched-friars. Upon a former examination, evidence was given to show that the prisoner and three other fellows hal been in the house on the day of the robbery, that means had been taken to get the landlord out of the way for a few minutes, and that during his absence the cheffonier in the bar parlour, in whi c the cash-box had been kept, was broken open, and plundered of that valuable deposi tory. It was also on that occasion proved that the pri soner and one of the men who had been seen with him on thelday of the robbery, had visited the house as cus tomers several successive days previously, and invari ably occupied a box immediately opposite to the bare parlour, from which they could have observed the chef fonier and the cash-box. Mrs. Scherzinger, the wife of the landlord, corrobo rated several points of the previous evidence, and said the prisoner had upon a former occasion come in with his usual companion, and, when she was alone in the bar parlour, endeavoured to persuade her to get him a little cheese to take the taste of the ale out of his mouth, as his employers might smell it upon him and consider it to be a bad example to the junior clerks of the establish. meta. As, however, she had neither husband nor do mestic near her, she would not stir from the spot, and the thieves lost that opportunity—a loss which was soon supplied by a little more exercise of their ingenuity. Sir PETER LAURIE then read the words used accord ing to Act of Parliament by magistrates to prisoners previously to committal, and asked the prisoner whether he wished, under the circumstances, to make any ob servations? Tue prisoner—l do. I deny that I know anything at all of the transaction, and I could have gone away at the time it appeared the robbery took place. The fact is I went into the house and called for a glass of ale. I had been there four or five times previously, and there was generally a young man with me. On the day in question I had come from the docks, and there was no person with me when I entered the house. A tall man was standing at the bar when I went in. He seemed to me to be a foreigner, and worn mustachios, and he asked me how I did, although I did not know him. The landlord—There was no foreigner amongst the set. The prisoner —I thought he belonged to the house, and he asked me to go into the common parlour and have a glass of ale with him. He spoke quite familiarly to me, and I went in and drank with him. He soon after wards left the room, but I never stirred from the place till the landlord came in, and there was a noise about the robbery, but of which I know nothing in the world. Sir PETER LAURIE—You are committed upon the charge brought against you. Aro there other persons in attendance against the prisoner? Storey, the officer, answered in the affirmative, and called Mrs. Louisa Barr, of the Two Brewers public-house, in New Park street, Southwark-bridge-road, who said—The pri soner robbed my house on the 3d of June. He had been there two or three times before the robbery was committed, and there was always another person with him. On the Friday before Tuesday, the 3d of June, he and the other person had been at my house. They went into the bar-parlour, having expressed a wish for a pri vate room. They went into the bar-parlour also on the 3d of June, and they remained there some time. One of them had a glass of ale and the other had a glass of half-and-half, and they also had some cold brandy and water. Between four and five o'clock they left the house together. The cash box was kept in a cupboard in the bar-parlour, and it contained 73/. in gold, two 51. notes, a promissory note for Si. 55., and a mining share of 5/. The cupboard was locked. I had changed a sovereign before they came into the house, and I then locked the door of the cupboard and put the key in my pocket. There had been nobody in the room between the time at which I locked the cupboard and the time daring which the prisoner and his companion were in the room, but myself and my husband. Sir PETER LAURIE.—Had the lock been forced? Witness—No; no violence at all seemed to have been used. They must have opened the door, I should think, with a key. I recollect that the prisoner closed the door of the room every time after I quitted it. The prisoner was also identified by a person who, in the house of the last witness, served him with ale and half-and-half there. Sir PETER LAURIE—Is the prisoner known as a plunderer of public-houses? Trew and Huggett, and other experienced officers of the City police, said the man was one of a notorious gang of thieves, who had acquired wonderful skill in getting hold of publicans' cash-boxes just before the visits of tree brewers and dis tillers. To their knowledge upwards of 6001. had been stolen in public-houses within the last six weeks in the way described by the evidence; but it was extremely difficult to prevail upon the sufferers to come forward, as they were apprehensive of being laughed at for not benefitting by the constant examples before ther eyes. Sir PETER LAURIE said it was quite evident that the robberies of the present day were distinguished from the ordinary practices atnonst thieves of former times by their intellectual character. The head worked with greater vigour than the hand. The prisoner—l do not know what the witnesses in the last case aro alluding to. I know nothing of cash. boxes. William Wesson, in the service of a cooper, said—On the 24th of May the prisoner came to me at our count ing -house when my employer was out, under pretence of purchasing a quantity of hoops. He persuaded me to accompany him from the counting-house to the ware house, and there ho detained me for some time while he appeared to be looking over his pocket-book for the de scription of hoops which be was anxious to purchase. Upon my return to the counting-house I found that the desks and other places of imagined security had been broken open, that my watch and whatever cash had been deposited in the cash-box were absent, and that the thieves had locked the ,iron safe, and taken off the key with them. Sir PETER LAURIE said ho felt real gratification in the performance of duties which brought before him accom plished thieves, who laid themselves out so completely for wholesale depredation. At the suggestion of the officers he remanded the prisoner upon the two last charges, but directed that the warrant of committal on the first should be forthwith completed. GUILDHALL. Mrs. Foley, alias Sullivan, was charged with ringing the changes upon Mr. Cotton, hatter, of Redcross street. Mr. Cotton stated that prisoner came into his shop and asked the price of a child's hat. Ho told her the expense would be 4s. 6d., and she said she would deposit 6d., and call for the hat in the evening. She gave a half-crown, and Mr. Cotton gave her 2s. in change. She then said, "Now, I shall have to bring 25." Mr. Cotton said, " Oh, no, it will be 4s. more," upon which she said, "I'll not have it then ; give mo my money back." Mr. Cotton returned her the half-crown, and she gave him back as he thought the two shillings ho had previously given her. After she had gone, Mr. Cotton's foreman said, " That woman has been here be fore playing off the same game—l'll run after her and i fetch her back." Mr. Cotton examined the money, and found one of the shillings bad, and which she had changed while he was looking for the half-crown in the till. Mr. Cotton said it was only throe weeks since the last visit he had had from the prisoner. Ho had taken a great quantity of counterfeit money, but knowing that the law required a double uttering within a month to be proved to obtain a conviction, ho kept all the bad money he was unfortunate to take for a month. This being a very clear case, the prisoner (who de nied everything) was remanded till Saturday, for Mr. Powell, the solicitor for the Mint, to attend and prosecute. MARY LEBO] V E. MURDEROUS OUTRAGES ON THE POLlCE.—Yesterday Dennis Hayes, a labourer, was brought before the sitting magistrate, Mr. Broughton, charged with assaults of a most brutal and sanguinary nature upon police-consta bles, who, in consequence of the injuries inflicted upon them, have been pronounced to be incapable for the pre sent of doing duty. Harwood, 161 D, deposed that on the previous after noon, as he was going along Praed-street, Paddington, ho received information from a gentleman that a desperate conflict was going on in Conduit-street, and that in all probability murder would be committed. He instantly repaired to the spot, where he found the prisoner and another man fighting, and also biting each other in a most savage manner. He at length succeeded in sepa rating them, and they went away, but shortly afterwards returned and renewed the battle, surrounded by at least 50 other persons, all of whom were apparently brick layers' or plasterers' labourers. He (witness) stepped forward and desired them to desist, when prisoner, with an oath, declared that he would take his life; ho (prisoner) then knocked him down by a tremendous blow, and also kicked him on various parts of his person; in addition to which he and others threw him from the top to the bottom of an area not loss than sixteen feet deep; he fell upon his side, and was considerably in jured, and had he fallen upon his head from so, great a height he might have been killed. Trevethen, 2441), said that having heard that a con stable was being murdered by some labourers, he rushed forth to give assistance, and saw the prisoner and two or three more men kicking the first witness as he lay on the ground. Mr. BROUGHTON—Were you assaulted? Witness—T_ was, sir; the prisoner and one of his companions knocked me down, a nd after they had kicked my brother officer into the area, they threw me into it also; the pri soner then jumped down and began heating and kicking both of us, and many of his fellow-labourers did s o like wise; for a time I was completely stunned. I and my brother officer at last succeeded in prop e rly secur i n g the p r i so ner, and conveying him to the station. Mr. BROUGHTON.—On the road thither was ho quietly disposed or not? Witness—He was very violent, your Worship, all the way. Both the officers mill that they were not We to go [PRICE SD, upon duty, and that the surgeon by whona they had been examined would bear testimony to that effect. Mr. BROUGHTON inquired if the surgeon was in at tendance? anti be was replied to in the negative. Inspector Porter said that it was not usual for sur geons to come forward, and in fact they, generally speaking, declined to do so unless summoned to attend. Mr. 13noucriTox—But, there is not even a certificate sent with regard to the nature cf the hurts which the officers have received. The history of the affair, I sup pose, is this, that if a surgeon st.nds a certificate he will receive no remuneration ; but if he is summoned to appear before a magistrate to give evidence he knows that he will be paid for his trouble. The iNl,igistrate looked upon the outrage as being one of a most brutal nature, and Which might have resulted in the loss of life. He remanded the prisoner till Monday next, in order to afford time for the police to capture other parties concerned in the brutal assaults. WESTAIINSTEI?. Chan ge , u ta nl NE m G a D A , GARDENS.—George G r e e o c r o g s e ni, ed by a s R tyl s Oßi3 h E l;- ir d r A e s T s e C d R y E o 3 the sergeant of the police-van as having been in hi s Care on a previous occasion, was finally examined, charged with stealing a gold watch from Eugene Eunan, a French cook, at Cremorne Gardens. After the first remand of the prisoner, the prosecutor was on his way to this court to attend the re-examina tion, when he was waylaid by two men, one of whom re presented himself as the accused's brother, and taken to some house on the Surrey side of the river, where ho was detained while the Court was sitting, and had a gold watch and lOs., as an equivalent to the value of the one he had lost, given him, with a promise that if he aban doned the prosecution his own should be restored. The police, however, conjecturing from the absence of the prosecutor at the remand, and the circumstance of his being a foreigner, that some trick had been resorted to to defeat the ends of justice, obtained a further remand, the apparent aoccurred,policere nftorf atthe en attended st and hwo go hg had notav d e s his do e szevidence and summoned the pro secu t or , w h o , notw i t h stan di ng much b w y h athtpr with t s sing the matter any f ur th er . A watc hf u l eye was kept inte rested themselves on the accused's behalf, but nothing was seen of them. It appeared, from the evidence adduced, that at twelve o'clock on the night of the 14th ult. the prosecutor was at the gate getting a ticket for the steam-boat, when he felt a pressure about his breast, and on looking down observed that his watch had been detatched from his guard. The prisoner was immediately in front of him, with a handkerchief in his hand, which it is conjec tured he bad used to screen himself from observation while separating the guard from the watch; and the prosecutor, who had felt his hand near his pocket, had no doubt that he had the watch in the handkerchief at the moment he missed it. He immediately said, " You have got my watch," when the prisoner, in company with another, bolted off at full speed. Mr. Smith, a tradesman at Exeter, followed, hearing the Frenchman cry out that he had been robbed, and prisoner's com panion tried to trip him up, but did not succeed, and Mr. Smith captured the accused, who immediately began talking largely about bringing an action, and affected to be immensely indignant at the accusation. The watch was not found, but it was clearly proved that, while running, th© prisoner passed the handkerchief close to the hand of his companion in the flight, who appeared to receive something from it, and then darted off in a contrary direction. The prisoner gave his address at Lincoln, but no such person, upon inquiry, was known there. The accused, who denied the charge, was committed For trial. SOUTHWARK. DR. SMYTH'S VicTims.LEm;;;Smith and Catherine S heats, two young girls between 14 and 15 years of age, who were some short time ago two of the victims of Smyth, the surgeon, of Vauxhall, who was transported for committing a rapelon a child, were brought before Mr. Seeker, charged with stealing four sovereigns and 265. in silver from the person of William Howe, a car riage-broker, residing in Nowington•causeway. It appears that on Friday night the prosecutor met the children in the Waterloo-road, and after treating them to some gin he accompanied them to a house of the worst description, situate No. 16, Herbert's-buildings. While in the house Smith knocked him backwards, robbed him of his money, and before he could recover himself they both decamped frem the house. Informa tion was afterwards given to the police, and the prisoners were apprehended on Monday, dressed out in new finery. Police-constable 36 L said ho apprehended the pri soners on Monday evening, dressed out in new clothing from head to foot. Smith said, "You have got me, but not the tin;" and Skeats said, " A very good job too; and I wish I had another haul." Mr. SECKER—Have you any knowledge of the child ren? Constable—Yes, sir. I have known them for nearly twelve months, roaming about the Waterloo-road as prostitutes. There are one or two houses in Herbert's buildings, the occupiers of which entrap young children and send them on the streets unknown to their parents. Mr. SECKER—DO you know the house which the pri soners frequent? Constable—Yes, sir. It belongs to an old woman, named Rogers, who is now undergoing a month's imprisonment for hating in her possession a quantity of printed cotton which had been recently stolen. She supplied the girls with dresses out of their immoral earnings. The Waterloo•road is literally swarmed with young girls, who use those houses and prowl about at all hours in the night, chictly f or the sake of plundering drunken men. Mr. SECKER—Was the prosecutor drunk? Prosecutor —I was very much intoxicated or I should not have placed myself in such a degrading situation. The constable informed the magistrate that there were two children now in court who were companions of the prisoners, and lived by prostitution. Mr. SECKER directed them to be brought forward. Eliza Smith, who stated her age to be 14, was ques tioned by Mr. Seeker, but she was so far initiated in vice that it was pitiable to witness the offensive manner in which she answered the worthy magistrate whose object was to save her from further contamination. Martha Sullivan, another child, said she lived with her father, a looking•glass-frame maker, in Lant-street, Borough. She denied having prostituted herself is any way. Police-sergeant, 22 L, said he saw the prisoners in the Waterloo•road every night with the children just exa mined by his Worship. In fact, there were hundreds like them, brought up by the brothel-keepers in the neighbourhood; some of the places were awful dens, and dangerous for any ono to enter. Mr. SECIER said ho should commit the prisoners for trial at the ensuing sessions, and should they be con victed, it might be the means of saving them from utter destruction. He was extremely sorry to hear that such an amount of juvenile prostitution was abounding in the midst of the metropolis, and he should certainly order that strict inquiries be made about the houses men tioned by the constable, so that an immediate stop may be put to the nefarious practice of entrapping young children and bringing them up to prostitution. The prisoners, who seemed quite unconcerned during the investigation, stated that they had no knowledge of the prosecutor's money, or ever seeing him before. They were committed for trial. THE LATE FATAL AFFRAY IN SHOE-LANE. Last evening a public meeting was held at the Li terary and Scientific Institution, Leicester-place, Little Saffron-hill, "to consider what steps were necessary legally to effect Mr. Long's release from prison," that individual being one of the witnesses in a recent police case, which was characterised in the bills convening the meeting, as a " brutal polico outrage in the City ." Lord Dudley Coutts Stuart, M.P., was a nnounce d to take the chair, but his Lordship having sent an excuse for his non-attendance,. Mir. W. Browno w as ca ll e d upon to pre side, and . in opening the proceedin gs , h e o b serve d t h at at a meeting recently held on Clerkenwell-green, it was agreed that a memorial should be sent to Sir George Grey, requesting him to offer a reward for the apprehen sion of the policeman who it was stated was guilty of the "murder" of William Hogan (in a disturbance which took place a short time ago in Shoe-lane). The reply of the Home Secretary was to the effect that he (Sir George Grey) had received the memorial in refe rence to the death of William Hogan, and that he had forwarded it to the Lord Mayor, together with the letter accompanying it. This communication, it was con tended, left the memorialists in the same position which they held before they addressed the Home Secretary; and the chairman now urged that it was the duty of all true friends of freedom to make every effort to promote the ends of justice in this important matter. Several persons afterwards addressed the meeting in language strongly condemnatory of the conduct of the police, an d suggesting the necessity of farther agitating the ques tion in order to effect the release of Mr. Long, who, it was said, had been imprisoned for the purpose of pre venting him from giving his evidence against the police man alleged to have caused the death of William Hogan. A resolution was passed condemning the co urse a d o pted by the police authorities in not causing a n i nves tigation to be made in order to identify the policeman. Other resolutions of a similar tendency were also carried, and it was agreed that the cause of the deceased Hoganr was the cause of every lover of justice and humani!Yii andy ought to be taken up by the public, snore 5 working men, who were bound to protect etheirh °were Pee w la n fives and property.

James, Wild, and Co., extensive upholsterers, cabinetmakers, and feather merchant., .ituato in Worship-street and the Curtain-road, Shoreditch. The property in question was of vast extent, and formed six houses in the last-named thoroughfare, whilst another turned the angle into Worship-street, and the whole stretched backwards between 200 and 300 feet into Gillard's-fields. The premises were divided into sundry warehouses for depositing the various articles in the trade according to their respective clas9ifications. Those compart ments at the rear were termed the mattress and flock depots ; the whole of the buildings on the ground floor were used as show-rooms, and contained a most costly stock of furniture, cabinets, &c. The upper floors of the corner house in Worship street were occupied as the feather stores, whilst the one adjoining, in the Curtain-road, was set apart as the ironmongery and bright steel departments. The other warehouses contained the usual stocks of beds, mattress es , &c. Owing to the highly inflammable eh the fire cou ld would be Consequently soon n racter of th e goo d s i n the v arious warehouses, it became apparent to the inhabitants that unless duringvour was a t s he mede timeensue.immediately extension t e e c n k s i e o d n e a ofvertyh fearful e efim nade co n s flagrationendea vour to lo s c t u i t nd off se n the in g x information to the fire stations. Unfortunately,h however, and in a space of time incredibly bri e f, windows e o sheets of flame could be se en rolling from th e in Gillard's-fields, which communicated of th e almost wareh ouses simul taneously to the whole of the upperwarehouses in the warehouses Curtain-road and Worship-street. Twofire-escapes belonging to the Ro y al S ociety, under th e direction of Mr. Baddeley, quickly arrived, and es no one con nected with the premises could at that time be seen, it was feared that a great loss of life had ensued, and many of the spectat o rs would ne co •ot b nvinced t o th e con trary until the conductors of the escap es h ad entered every room not on fire, when they f ound out from the general contents that no one lived on the premises. The engines of the London Brigade, West of England Company, and parish attended with all possible expe dition, when the firemen found the flames ascending some dozen feet above the surrounding houses ; th ey therefore directed the water from the different engines in such directions 83 to cut off the further spread of the fearful element. During that time a number of persons were engaged in removing the furniture, &c., from the show-rooms on the ground floor. During the progress of the conflagration a waggon filled with beds or mattresses was drawn out from the gateway, but the contents were blazing most furiously, and it was not until a great part of the freight was destroyed that the fire could be extin guished. The firemen, under the direction of their superior officers, laboured without the least intermis sion until past midnight, when they succeeded in get ting the mastery to some extent over the fire, but it was then far from being extinguished, although no danger existed of any further extension. The damage done, the foreman of the premises informed our re porter, would amount to some thousands of pounds, to say nothi ng o f th e i n j ury t o th e prem ises. The whole of the extensive premises at the rear are gutted, and the entire length of buildings in front as far as the ground floors burnt. How the fire originated is a mystery. The men had left off work, and the pre mises had not been closed more than 20 minuteswhen the unwelcome discovery was made. It is to be re gretted that the Ezra was only partially insured, SPRY, KRT., V. lICCIIIN. Mr. M. Smith and Mr. Coleridge were counsel for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Crowder and Mr. Smirks for the de fendant. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, Sir Samuel Spry, who was a candidate for the representation of Bodmin at every election between 1832 and 1847, to re cover 271. for principal and interest due upon a promis sory note for 20/. which the defendant had given to the plaintiff, fur, as it was alleged, a loan of that sum in the year 1843. The defendant pleaded several pleas—lst. That he did not make the note. 2dly. That the money was given as a bribe for a vote the defendant had given for Sir Samuel Spry at the election in 1843, and for a vote he was to give for him at a future election; idly, that he (the de fendant) had paid the money; 4thly, that the plaintiff had discharged him from it; and sthly, that he did not mako the promise. For the plaintiff the promissory note was proved to have been signed by the defendant, and was put in and read. It was dated the 21st of June, 1843, some time after the election for that year. For the defendant it was contended that the 201. was given as a bribe to the defendant, a grocer in this town, in consequence of his having voted for Sir Samuel Spry at the election of 1843, and to induce him to vote for him at the next election, and that the signing the note was merely to hold the defendant liable in case he broke his promise. The defendant had not paid any interest on the note, but at the election in 1847 he split his vote, voting for Spry and Lacey. The election was won by Wylde and Lacey. In 1848 Sir Samuel Spry presented a peti tion to the House of Commons against the return of Wylde and Lacey, but the petition was dismissed, and very shortly after that the plaintiff caused an action to be brought against the defendant upon the note. It was then submitted that it was clear the money was given as a bribe, and therefore the note was void, and de fendant would be entitled to a verdict. The following was the evidence adduced:— Richard Bray—l am town clerk of Bodmin. In 1841 the defendant voted for Vivian and Leicester against Spry, but in 1843 he voted for Spry. In 1847 he voted for Spry and Lacey. There was a petition in April, 1848, presented to the House of Commons by Spry against the election of Wylde and Lacey. Mr. Cum mins drew this note; ho acted as agent for Spry in 1843 and 1847. Cross-examined—Mr. Cummins is the present mayor of this town, and his father is the oldest attorney in the county. It is difficult to say of what politics Lord Lei cester was; he was a nondescript sort of a man. Sir Samuel Spry was a Radical when ho first came here, but afterwards turned Conservative and Protectionist. The defendant is a grocer.

'Before Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, Assistant Judge, and a Bench of Magistrates.) A SCENE IN COURT. William Winfield was indicted for having stolen a half•sovereign and other moneys, the property of Char lotte Cooper, from her person. Mr. Rebtcn appeared for the prisoner. It appeared that on Monday week the prosecutrix was walking down Hanover-street, when she was pressed closely by the prisoner and another person as they passed by her. Directly they were gone by she was spoken to by a person named Bennett, when she put her hand into her pocket and missed her purse. The priso ner had been seen to put his hand into the prosecutrix's pocket, take something out of it, and hand it over his shoulder to the mau who was then in his company. The witness who had seen this was about to lay hold of the two men, but ho was immediately followed by two other men who detained him, but he got free from them by knocking one of them down. Ho then caught the pri soner and gave him into euttocly. Mr. REBTON then addressed the jury for the prisoner, and contended that it had not been proved that the pri soner bad a purse in his possession. As soon as Mr. Robton had finished his address, _ _ Mr. WITHAm (who presided during the temporary ab sence of the Learned Judge) recalled the prosecutrix, and elicited from her the colour of the purse she had lost. Mr. REBTON rose and said, with so me warmth—l think your Lordship has no right to put any such ques tion, the case for the prosecution having closed; and it is most unjust towards the prisoner to re-open it again. Mr. WITHAM—Don't interrupt me, sir. Mr. REBTON—But I will; and I object to your doing so, and I am convinced that your Lordship would enter tain the objection if I were to pursue a similar course. Mr. WITHAM persisted in putting the question, and then called the witness Bennett ; and also inquired of him the colour of the purse. Mr. REBTON—I claim a reply to the jury on the ques tions put by the Court, and I roust say that the Learned Chairman has taken a course which could not be pursued in any other court of justice in England, and which no superior judge in any of the courts at Westminster would suffer counsel to pursue. Mr. Witham has gathered the weak points of the case from my speech for the defence, when he re-opens tho case, putting such questions as would tend to strengthen the case for the prosecution, but operating most unfairly against the prisoner—a course which, with all respect to the Court, I beg to say is highly improper and unjust to the prisoner. A few days since I was myself stopped by Baron Alderson, at Maidstone, on the Home Circuit, for endeavouring to put a question on cross-examination, after having con cluded my case. That Learned Judge would not allow me to do so, and said that it was so highly improper that he would not tolerate it. Mr. WITLIA3I—It shall be done by me. Bennet was the❑ called, but he could not tell the colour of the purse. Mr. REBTON then proceeded to address the jury, commenting with sem° earnestness on the conduct of the Learned Chairman, in having put questions that were likely to prejudice the case against the prisoner after the case for both prosecution and the defence had been closed. Mr. WITIIA.M—Sit down, Sir. Mr. REBTON—I shall not. Mr. WlTnex—l say you shall. Mr. IlnisToN—l will not. Mr. WrrnAm—l will not allow you to comment upon me personally. Mr. REBTON—WeII, then, as I have done comment ing, allow me to proceed with my objection. The Learned Counsel then briefly proceeded with his address to the jury. The jury, after a short consultation, returned a ver dict of Guilty. William Combe, a police-constable, proved that he had known the prisoner as a member of the " swell mob" on the Surrey side of the river for the last three years, and he had detected him endeavouring to pick the pocket of an intoxicated man in the pit of the Surrey Theatre. _ _ The CHAIRMAN said he should have sent the prisoner out of the country for seven years, but for the assistance he had received in the commission of the robbery from his two companions. Prisoner—l hop© you will not do anything of the kind. The CHAIRMAN—The sentence of the CAirt is, that you be transported for ten years. SURREY SESSIONS, Aug 5. (Before TuoMAs PUCKLE, Eq., and a Bench of Magistrates.) FREAKS OF CABMEN.—Thomas Humphries, cabman, was indicted for stealing a half-sovereign from the person of Jane Smith. The prosecutrix, an old female, said that she obtained her livelihood by washing, and on the 16th of July she proceeded with a half-sovereign to a public-house near the Elephant and Castle, and as she entered she saw a number of cabmen standing in front of the bar. The prisoner was one of them, and said that he had plenty of silver, and could give her change. She handed him the half-sovereign, which he put in his pocket, and on her demanding the change, he again put his hand in his pocket and returned her what she considered to be a half sovereign; but on looking at it she instantly perceived that it was not the coin she had given to him—in fact, it was a counterfeit. While she was endeavouring to get her own money back the prisoner decamped, but she gave information to the police, and caused him to be appre.. hended. The jury found him Guilty, and the prosecutrix having recommended the prisoner to mercy on account of his family, The COURT sentenced him to three months' hard labour at Brixton, at the same time intimating th a t h a d not such a recommendation been given he (the Chair man) would have punished him with great severity. ROBBING A FOREIGNER.—Amy Clark, a brothel keeper in Granby-street, Waterloo-road, was indicted for stealing a purse containing three sovereigns and some silver from the person of Joseph Amable Perron, a French gentleman. Prosecutor said he met the prisoner near the house, and believing from her statement that she was in dis tress, he accompanied her home and gave her halt-a crown. Another female came into the room, end while he was standing talking she caught h o ld o f hi s arms while the prisoner robbed him of his purse and money, and they both decamped out of the house. He went in search 0, them, and not being able to find them out, ho gave information to the police, and the prisoner was ap prehended on the following night sitting on the step of her door.
