Srs,—ln your excellent remarks on the successful experiments made upon the gigantic tubes suspended across the Menai, you state that " a train of 200 waggons was permitted to repose, with its full weight, for two hours in the centre of the Carmarthenshire tube."

Carmarthenshire has no claim what ever to the tubes you mention, they belong exclu sively to the Island of Anglesey and the picturesque county of Carnarvon. I am anxious, Sir, that my English neighbours should have a correct knowledge of the geographical position of this beituti/u1 and romantic neighbour hood, for depend upon it, Sir, they will fail to discover its beauties or stupendous bridges in Carmarthen shiro.—l am, Sir, your:, &c., TOBIAS EVANS.

There were eight counts in the indictment, which charged him in different ways with the duty of re lieving the poor at Southampton, and with having unlawfully and feloniously neglected and refused to administer relief to one Elizabeth Biggs, a pauper, in urgent need of shelter and food, whereby she died of cold and starvation. The prisoner having demurred to the indictment, and the Crown joined issue on the demurrer, Mr. S sunders and Mr. Phinn, who appeared for the prisoner, were heard in snpport of the demurrer, and Mr. Sewell and Mr. Prideaux, who conducted the prosecution, in support of the indictment. Ulti mately, by arrangement, judgment was given for the Crown upon all the counts, end the prisoner pleaded not guilty, with liberty to take up the indictment to the New Court of Criminal Appeal, if he should be advised to pursue that course, in preference to bring ing a writ of error. Mr. SEWELL opened the case to the jury. He said the charge against the prisoner was, that being a visiting officer of the Southampton Union, under a local Act regulating the management of the poor there, he neglected and refused to admit a 'nor wo man into the workhouse, and to give her anything to eat and drink, although she was in a wretched state from cold and starvation, and had been ordered by the medical officer of the union to admit her at once. The poor woman had been ill for some time, but had recovered from the disease, though still debilitated from its effects. On Friday, the 23d of December, Mr. Cooper, one of the medical officers of the union, finding her very exhausted and debilitated from the effects of cold and want of food, wrote an order to the prisoner, desiring him to admit her at once into the workhouse, as ,she was utterly destitute, and in want of immediate food. She went to the poor house with the order, having an illegitimate child with her, abDut two years old. Whilst waiting in the committee-room, the miserable state of the poor woman and her child excited so much sympathy from some women who were waiting for relief, that one gave up her place by the fire to her, and another went and begged a piece of bread for them, and they both allowed her to go into the board-room first. Sirnmonds was in the board-room, and these women overheard what passed between him and Biggs. The poor woman came put crying, and was put into the tramp house, a cold and miserable place, without any fire, light, or other com forts. Nothing was given her to eat, and although Mr. Simtnonds afterwards gave her an order for a bed at a lodging-house in the town, be refused to relieve her with anything to eat. She went to Mrs. Beaujohn's, where she passed the night, and next day tried to get into the workhouse again, but was refused. Her sister, who had shown her every kind ness, got her a lodging for the next night; but was so poor and destitute herself, that she could do no more fur her. The next morning she died, and Mr. Cooper would prove that there could be no doubt that she died of cold and starvation. The first witness called was William Bolton Girdle ston—l was clerk to the Southampton Board of Guardians in December. I produce the journal book of the Board ; it contains the minutes of the pro ceedings. There is an entry of the appointment of the prisoner as visiting officer, at a salary of 701. per an num. The appointment was on the Bth of July, 1848. The medical officer sometimes made orders for relief. I have heard the guardians give directions to the pri- Boner on the subject. He formerly had a discretion on the subject of those orders, but subsequently the guardians ordered him always to attend to such orders at ()floe. If it was a case of urgent necessity, he had the power to admit to the house. He had authority in all cases of urgent necessity at once to admit to the house. By the JUDGE—The prisoner did not reside at the workhouse. The master of the workhouse would admit in a case of urgent necessity in the absence of the relieving officer without an order. The re- lieving officer Is the proper person to apply to for an order. Ann Biggs—l had a sister called Elizabeth. On the Friday before Christmas•day I went with her to Mr. Cooper's, the surgeon. She was ill. She had no where to go I had no means of getting anything or any lodging. Mr. Cooper gave her a paper, and directed her to take it to Mr. Simmonds, down at the workhouse. It was about four o'clock. I left her with him. This was about a quarter of a mile from Simmonds's house. My sister could not walk without assistance. I saw no more of her until the evening. It was very cold weather. When I saw her she had her infant in her arms. It was crying. She went into a shop, and I read a paper she had with her; on it was written, " One night's lodging, Mrs. Beaujohn, Blue Anchor-lane." I saw my sister the next day in Silkshop•yard. She was crying for the cold and with hunger, and asked what she should du? I said " I could nut help her, as I had nothing to help myself." We went to the workhouse. We were two hours going. It was not quite a quarter of a mile. We applied for her to be taken in. She was not taken in. We afterwards went to Mr. Duseau troy's, the surgeon. lle was not at home. I tried to take her to the mayor's, but she could not go so far. I borrowed twopence, and gave it to her for her lodging. I took her to Mrs. Davis's lodging-house, and left her there I saw her the next day. She was very ill, but knew me. She threw up a large quantity of blood. My brother went to Mr• Cooper's and got some medicine. She told me she was dying soon after. I tried to give her the medicine. She could not take it. Mr. Cooper came soon after. An hour after she died. She had nothing to eat on Sa turday or Sunday. A day or two :before she com plained of hunger and cold. She said hunger brought her so weak she could scarce move. Cross-examined—She had been in Southampton about a year. S! - ae did a little needlework, and walked the streets. She had passed by the name of Harris, and also the child. I have seen a man named Harris. Ile was the father of the child. By the JUDGE—The child was two years old. It could not walk. She was in the family way. Harris was in Southampton at that time. She had asked him for relief. 111 would not give her anything—not one farthing. George Biggs—l went with my sister to Mr. Cooper's on the Friday before Christmas-day. This witness corroborated the evidence of his sister. Cross-examined—My sister generally went by the name of Harris, and so did the child. I lodged with her at Murray's. She had been very bad for three months ; worse for a tbrtnight before this. The doctor attended her. I used to go to the poorhouse for her, and ask for relief for Elizabeth Harris and her child. I used to get a shilling and a loaf. I went in before the guardians. In the week I used to get sixpenny worth of groceries and a loaf. This was for three months. She got worse all this time. I had gone to the poorhouse on the Monday before the Friday, or the Monday before that, when I only got sixpence and a loaf, instead of a shilling. Mr. Cooper said at the board that she was getting better. It was either that, or that it was blowed about that my other sister had 30s. a week coming in. But I only got sixpence. lam sixteen. Mrs. Beaujohn gave her some tea and bread and butter on the Thursday before the Friday. She drank the tea, but could not eat the bread and butter. Re-examined—Neither of my sisters had 30.. a week. We had no means of helping her. Mr. Cooper was kind to her. By the JUDGE—She paid threepence a night for a lodging. I shared her loaf when she pleased to give me any. Louisa Biles—l live in Blue A.nchor-yard, and knew the deceased. On the 21st of December, the Fiiday before Christmas-day, I went to the work house for relief. Elizabeth Biggs came there be tween five and six in the evening. She had her child, and appeared very ill and very cold. I gave her , my place in the waiting-room. The baby was crying, and I a s k e d w h a t was the matter ; she said the child was crying for bread—it had only had one piece all day. I went to the kitchen and asked the cook for a piece of bread fur the child. The cook brought a piece and gave it to the deceased and the baby; they both eat it directly. I also went for a little milk and water for the child ; it drank it. We afterwards went .to the board-room. I after wards saw a paper in Bi ggs ' h an d ; it was blotted; I read it, and gave it to her again. Simmonds was in the board -room at that time, and Mr. Irg• gins was there. When Biggs went in she had the paper in her hand. I heard Simmonds speak to her ; he said, "What have you got here ?" She made some reply which I did not hear; she spoke so low. He then asked her " where she had been lodging.' She said, "at Murray's, but that they had turned her out of doors, and she had no where to go." He asked her " where her husband was." She said "she had not got one." He asked her " how she came by that she had in her arms ?" She did not answer. He said " you will get nothing here but the tramp-house to night, and to-morrow you will take yourself off." I have seen the tramp-house ; there is no fire there —no beds, nothing but straw. I observed she was far advanced in pregnancy. When she came out of the room, he was crying. Mrs. Leak—l live at Southampton, and knew de- I ceased. On the Friday before Christmas-day I was at the poor-house. I saw Mrs. Biles there. I saw deceased Corns with her child. This witness then proceeded to corroborate the statements of the witness Biles. Mr. Pike—l am one of the relieving officers of the Southampton Board of Guardians, and was in D.!- ember last. I was at the poor-house on the morn ing of the 21st of December. I was on the out-door business. My attention was called to a woman, said to be ill, in the tramp-house. I took a lantern and candle and went there. It is an enclosed build ing, with no fire or light. There is a ventilator in the roof, straw on the ground, and rags for covering. The persons put there have bread for their supper when they are locked up. This was generally about nine. When I got to the tramp-house= I saw a woman and child. I now know it was Elizabeth Biggs. Sititmonds was in the porter's lodge close by. I asked the woman if she was ill; she said she was colkand shivering. I asked'her to take her child and come to the porter's lodge, and I would send her to a bed. She said she did not want to be moved, she should be better soon. I recommended her to have a bed. Simmonds wrote her an order for Beau john's. I don't remember her asking for relief. I told Simmonds it would be best for him to relieve her with bread. His answer was, " That she was one of those impostors which very much abound." She was not relieved—she went away. Cruse-examined—The hours for casual' relief are from two to four, but doctors' orders cenne in at all hours. 1 have discretion as to giving relief. We have a great many impostors. If I know - them to be so, I refuse relief. I did not discern that Biggs looked ill. We have many such cases—of persons reporting themselves ill—in the tramp-house. She walked away with her child. .:The tramp-house is used by all parsons who ask for a night's lodging. Suppose a person who bad always been relieved in one same came with an order in another name, should you relieve P—We have no discretion as to doctors' orders. If I had reason to think it bad been impro perly obtained, I should use my own discretiob. Simmonds was always considered to be a humane man to the poor. By the JUDGE—I had no reason to think she was very ill. I have known persons to bring two or three orders from electors on the same day. Then we should refuse them. Mr. Girdleston recalled—Sapposing a d oc t or ' s or d er to have been brought on the 21st of December, it would have been Simmonds duty to receive it end to file it. I searched the file soon after Bigg's death, and found no miler of Mr. Cooper's, either in the 'name of Biggs or Harris. , Mrs. Spencer, servant to Mrs. Beaujohn—ln De cember last I remember Elizabeth Biggs coming on the Friday before Christmas -day, with her child. She had an order for a bed. I went upstairs with them. She walked up as if very tired. I said, " You peem very tired." She said, Yes, marm, I am." She had nothing to eat that night, or the child ; she had a drop of tea to drink. The next morning she went away. She had no food before she went. Cross -examined—She said she had come from Win chester that day. Francis Cooper—l am a surgeon, and one of the medical offieers to the board of guardians of South ampton. I know Elizabeth Biggs. I remember seeing ber in December last. I had at tended her for influenza. She had recovered frain influenza, but the effects had remained in weak ness. I knew of no organic disease in her cal culated to produce death. I saw her on the. 22d ; she seemed in a very exhausted state. She said she was so bad she did not know what to do. She said she had had very little to eat for four days. She had no organic disease. I felt her pulse, and exa • mined her. I gave a paper to her sister, as she was too weak to hold it. I told her sister to take her down to the poor-house, and give a verbal message.from me that she should be taken into the poor-house imme diately, as it was a case of urgent necessity. The appearances of her case were such as would have made her state apparent, but a person might have been deceived by candle-light as to her state. I wrote an order in this form—" Mr. Simmonds or Mr. Davison,—Please admit the bearer, Elizabeth Biggs, into the house immediately, as she is in want of food, and totally destitute." The order was blotted. She should have been put to bed ; have had hot bottles to her feet ; brandy and water, beef tea, and such fluid food, continued until the circulation was restored. At the yoorlhouse means are provided to supply such things. If the course I suggest had been adopted;' I believe her life would have been preserved. I was not on duty at the house at the time. The surgeons at the workhouse take it in turn to do duty in the house. I saw her again on Sunday, between three and four. I had sent her some medicine before. When I saw her she was dying. She died just after I left her. I had never had the misfortune to see such a case before, nor had I any experience theoreti cally with such cases. I made a post mortem exa mination. I found the stomach inflated with offensive gas, and walls extremely thin, with about four ounces of dark or grumous blood, and a few small grains of bread. In some parts of the stomach the lining membrane, or mucous membrane, was infiltered, and the coronary artery ruptured—the child in its right position. Exter nally, I observed the skin covered with purplish coloured spots, and a secretion like dirt, which had been poured forth by the vessels. Since that time I have paid particular attention to cases of starvation. In my judgment the appearances I observed were attributable to a long deprivation of food. I think the long-continued aktinence from food, and cold, produced congestion, which ruptured the vessels, and produced death by the loss of blood vomited from the system. Cross-examined—l had attended her three or four months before I saw her on the 21st of December. She had passed by the name of Harris. It was on my advice she received relief. She was known to the officers of the uniou as Elizabeth Harris. She lived at a tramp-house, and had no ostensible mode of getting her living. Her relief was diminished on the 17th from ls. to 6d. It was in consequence of an anonymous note, well written, stating that she was in the receipt of 30s. a week. I was consulted, and I said, perhaps you had better give her only half the money, and let the relieving-officer inquire into the case. Re-examined—l am sorry to be obliged to state that in my opinion that death was caused by cold and starvation producing the effects I have decribed. Mrs. L'ak, re-called—The paper I saw in the deceased's hands when she went into the board room had the name of " Biggs" on it. There was " admit," and it was si gne d by Dr. Cooper. It was blotted. This was the case fir the prosecution • and it being now half-pa s t n i ne o ' clock the Cour t adjourned. The jury were then removed in the custody of the sheriff to be kept together for the night. The case was resumed the next morning, when Mr. C. SAUNDERS addressed the jury for the prisoner, in an able speech, contending that, on the evidence in this case, the prisoner could not be made criminally responsible for the death of the unfortunate woman, even if they thought that she did Meet her death by the act of the prisoner, in not admitting ber to the poor-house. In the first plaCe, it was not shown by satisfactory testimony that the order of Mr. Cooper ever came to the hands of the prisoner so as to cast the duty on him to relieve the deceased. But if they were satisfied on that point, still, it was clear, from the conduct of the prisoner, who was a man of a most excellent character for humanity, that be acted under a mistake as to her state, and really believed her to be an impostor. If this was so, it was clear that be was not guilty of the crime imputed to him ; a mistake in the discretion he was bound to exercise in his office would not make him criminally responsible if be acted bona fide. No doubt, if her real state had been fully known to him, he would have at once admitted and relieved her; but he no doubt had always known her by the name of Harris, and her bringing an order in the name of Biggs, if it came to his hands, must have confirmed him in his impression that she was an impostor, and it was clear he acted under that impression. He also contended that it was not clearly made out that the cause of death was attributable to starvation. It might well have proceeded from other causes, and all the medical evidence on the point was mere matter of speculation. A number of highly-respectable witnesses spoke to the excellent character of the prisoner. Mr. Justice TALFOURD summed up the case. Ic was one of a most painful and distressing character, for there could be no doubt whatever that this poor girl was in a very debilitated and wretched state, and had died in a state of extreme misery, and with out those comforts and solaces to which she had a right. No doubt she had been pursuing a course of vice and degradation, but that did not at all affect her right to relief and consolation. The most abject and degraded person in the realm, who had brought his misery entirely upon himself by his own vicious conduct, had an equal claim to relief, when plunged in the depths of poverty and distress, with the man of the highest virtue and morality, who might by no fault of his own be placed in a simijar situation of suffering. liming premised.thus much, and Ny MARCH 7, no. mented somewhat severely on the injudicious act of the guardians in reducing the miserable pittance of Is. a-week, which had been originally allowed the poor girl, to the sum of 6d. per week, upon the authority of an anonymous letter, the Learned Judge said that he would leave three questions to the j ury— first, whether they were satisfied that the death was caused or accelerated by exposure to the cold and want of food ; secondly, whether they were satisfied that Mr. Cooper's order for admission to the work house ever got to the hands and knowledge of the prisoner. If so, he was bound to obey the order unless he had reasonable ground for believing that the poor girl who presented it to him was not the person for whom it was intended. The jury would, there fore, further inquire into this, and if they felt satisfied of the cause of death, and that the order was presented and came to his knowledge, and thought that he had not bona fide believed, upon reasonable grounds that Riggs was not the person for whom the order was in tended, it wouldbe . their day to find the prisoner guilty on those counts which charged a disobedience to the doctor's order. Even if they thought—and there was really no pretence for saying so—that the poor girl was an impostor in any other respect, that would not justify him in disobeying the order, and free him from criminal responsibility in consequence of the fatal calamity which bad resulted from his misconduct. And thirdly, whether, without reference to the doc tor's order, they thought, from all the circumstances of the case, that the prisoner must have known that it was a case of urgent necessity requiring imme diate assistance. If the jury were of that opinion, he (the Learned Judge) thought the prisoner was bound to relieve her necessities at once, and would recom mend them to find him guilty with reference to certain other counts in the indictment. They had nothing to do with the validity of the indictment A very excellent character: h. •^ anity had been given to the prisoner, one of the 'est which be bad ever heard given in a court of justice. And if the jury had any doubt upon the fact, the 7 would of course give the prisoner the benefit of this character. The jury, after a few minutes' consultation, re turned a verdict of Islot Guilty,:and added that, in their opinion, the prisoner left the bar without the slightest imputation on his character. HOME CIRCUIT, Chelmsford, March 6. CROWN SlDE—(Before Lord Chief Justice WILDE.) John Livings, 26, was indicted for feloniously cut ting and wounding his wife, Susan Livings, with in tent to murder her. In other counts his intent was laid to be to do some grievous bodily harm. Mr. Ryland prosecuted, and Mr. Parnell defended the prisoner. Susan Wood deposed that in _September last she lived in the same house with the prisoner and his wife, at High Ongar. On the day named in the indict ment, the 10th of September, the prisoner was in the garden with the prosecutrix, and they were engaged in digging up potat oes , when a quarrel took place between them, and she saw the prisoner strike his wife a violent blow on the eye with a spade, and she fell to the ground, and while she was in that position the prisoner kicked her several times in the stomach. Shortly afterwards witness saw the prosecutrix at a cottage close by, and she observed a good deal of blood upon her clothes. Upon being cross-examined by Mr. PARNELL, the witness said she was not near enough to hear what was said before the prisoner knocked his wife down. They frequently quarrelled on account of the prose cutrix having an improper intimacy with another man. She had no doubt that a -connexion of that sort existed, because she had seen the wife of the prisoner and the man of whom he was jealous in bed together. The witness also said that the prisoner had always acted as a good husband until this improper intimacy was found out. Emma Conel, a cottager living near the prisoner, proved that while the prosecutrix was in her house the prisoner came there, and after making use of very violent language, he dragged her into the road and kicked her several times. Mr. W. R. Gill, a surgeon at High Ongar, stated that he was called in to examine the prosecutrix, and he found her clothes saturated with blood, and that she had received a very severe blow on the right eye. She was delivered of a dead child on the 6th of November. Mr. PARNELL, in addressing the jury for the pri soner, complained that his wife had not been called to inform the jury of the circumstances which had led to the assault upon the day in question, and be said that in her absence they had no means of knowing what provocation the prisoner -bad received at the time. He urged upon the jury that it was perfectly clear the prisoner bad been deeply wronged by his wife, aLd he called upon them to make allowance fur the provocation he had received, and only find him guilty of an assault. The Learned JUDGE having summed up, the jury, after a very short deliberation, returned a verdict of Guilty of a common assault, and the prisoner was sentenced to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for six months. MIDLAND CIRCUIT.---Northampton, March 6. (Before Mr. HUMFRET, Q.C.) Thomas Band, aged 30, l a b oure r, was indicted for having, on the 20th o f J anuar y last, at Alal winkle, All Saints, in this county, feloniously cut and wounded one William Wills, with intent to maim, disable, or disfigure him, or to do him some grievous bodily harm. M. Miller conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Mellor the defence. The prosecutor, William Will, was a keeper or watcher, in the service of Lord Lilford, and the as sault was committed on him whilst in the execution of his duty. An attempt was made to prove an alibi, but The Learned JUDGE told the jury very emphati cally, that the only question for them was, whether or not they were satisfied as to the identity of the prisoner as being the man spoken to by the two wit nesses for the prosecution; and he would entreat them not to violate their consciences and the oaths they had taken by finding any other verdict than that which before God they believed to be the true one. A verdict of Guilty, with intent to do grievous bodily harm, was, after the lapse of some time, re turned ; and a previous conviction for felony (stealing fowls) having been proved against the prisoner, The Learned JUDGE remarked, that after a long and patient investigation, the jury had at last come to the only conclusion that, in his judgment, they could have arrived at • and observing upon the atro cious extent of th e violence and recklessness of human suffering and human life exhibited, passed upon the prisoner the sentence of transportation fur ten years. WESTMINSTER COUNTY COURT, March 6. (Before FRANCIS BAYLEY, E'q., Judge.) GIBSON V. LORD ROBERT GROSVENOR, MX. This was an action brought by William Gibson, of Grantly-villas, Clapham, against Lord Robert Gros venor, M.P., to recover the sum of 201. as remunera tion f,,r assistance rendered to the defendant imme diately previous to his election for Middlesex. Several witnesses were examined in support of the claim, but the Court held that no case had been esta blished, and uonsuited the plaintiff. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, March 6. Before Mr. Sergeant ADAMS and a Bench of Ma- gistrates.) The Court sat this morning for the disposal of cri minal caies. THE LATE CASE OT CRUELTY TO A CHILD. The grand jury came into court with a true bill against Edward Kenealey, of '3 -ray's Inn, barrister-at law, which set forth " That he did with force and arms commit an assault upon Edward Hyde, a child of tender years, to wit, six years, and that he did by means of a cord and rope hang the said child by the neck, by fastening the said cord to a certain peg, then and there being, and then and there did pull and strip from off the body of the said Edward Hyde certain clothes with which the said child was covered, so that he was uncovered and naked ; and whilst so uncovered did cruelly, wantonly, and unmanly beat the said child upon the back, shoulders, arms, wrists, legs, &c., with other wrongs and injuries to the said E I ward Hyde, then and there, to the damage , and against the peace of our Sovereign Lady the Queen." Three other counts varied the offence. This case has become familiar to the public from the proceedings which have taken place at the Guildhall Police-court, and which were r e p or t e d at the time. Soon After the bill was returned, a report was neral that the defendant intended to remove the fur ther proceedings in the case by certiorari to a superior court. The prosecution will be continued by the guardians of the West London Union. Rober Paine, 23, was found Guilty cf stealing a handkerchief, the property of Mr. Wm. Rosenthal. The Learned JUDGE inquired of the police-con stable who apprehended the prisoner whether any thing was known of him ?—The policeman said no thing was known of him except that he had been several times summarily convicted. Tile Learned JUDGE said that this was the most amusing answer he had ever heard, with the exception of one that he hail once received, which was, that the prisoner was summarily convicted for want of evi• dence.—(Laughter.) lie was sentenced to six months' imprisonment, with hard labour. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. WESTMINSTER. William Jones, Thomas Belton, John Belton, and James Griffiths, four young men, the first of whom bore marks of having been engaged in some severe conflic', were charged with the following desperate attack upon the police : It appeared, from the evidence of several witnesses, that a man named Garwood entered the house of Mr. t.. 4 evvell, the White Swan, Vauxhall-bridge-road, on Tuesday evening, and, having refused to pay for the liquor he had drunk, created a disturbance and as saulted the landlord ; upon which he was given into the custody of Police constable Joseph Butcher, 109 B. The latter had only proceeded a few yards with his prisoner towards the station, when the defendant Jones suddenly came up, armed with a large black stick, and told him to let Garwood go, and upon his refusing to comply Jones attacked the constable, striking him repeatedly on both sides of the neck with the weapon he had in his hand, and then sud • clnly seizing him bythe legs threw him heavily upon his back. In consequence of this Garwood got away, and Jones endeavoured to make his escape by running into the midst of some unfinished buildings sear the Penitentiary. The-constable, however, pur sued and caught him, when he and Garwood—the latter of whom again made his appearance when he found his friend engaged with the officer —made a second attack upon the constable, Jones biting him severely on the hand, and also endeavouring to inflict an injury of a most dreadful description. A formi dable mob, as it was stated by the police, of thieves and other persons of bad character, had by this time assembled, and discharged a volley of brickbats at the constable, one of which, however, struck Jones upon the back of the head, and but for the assistance of Mr. Se well, together with a gentleman residing in Lupus-street, and a licensed victualler residing in Ponsonby-terrace, fatal consequences might have en sued. The outrageous conduct of the mob continued until the arrival of a sufficient body of the police, who succeeded in apprehending the four defendants, but were followed by a crowd of same hundreds of per sons to the door of the police•station in Ito. cheater-row. In consequence of the violent re sistance offered by the prisoners Butcher was compelled to use his truncheon, and struck the defendant Jones a blow on the back of his head, and Garwood, finding that he was overpowered, effected his escape. The evidence went clearly to prove that the two Beltons (brothers) and Griffiths were im plicated in the outrageous attack upon the police. Thomas Belton was sworn to have been the leader of the mob, to have repeatedly incited the others to at tack the constable, and with his brother John to hare thrown several bricks which struck Butcher about the loins and legs, and when Marshall, 60 B, seized hold of one of the Beltons, Griffiths, who is the youngest of the party, with a filthy expression, urged those near him to split the officer's head open with a brick, and when himself captured kicked the officer apprehending him several times. Butcher complained of the severe injuries he had received from defendants and others, which had rendered him unfit fur duty. Ttie whole of the defendants contradicted the state ments made against them, and denied their guilt. Mr. BaonEfor having inquired of Mr. Symons, the inspector on duty, whether the Commissioners wished him to dispose of the case, and having received an answer that they left the matter in the hands of the magistrate, observed that the evidence against the whole of the defendants was of the clearest possible description, and he took that opportunity of informing them that had any fatal result attended their violent attack upon the constable they would all have been liable to be tried for murder. The offence they had committed called for the severest penalty of the law, and he therefore committed the whole of them for the full period—one month in the House of Correction. TV ORSILIP-STRE E 7. Alexander Lovey, a working gunsmith, was placed at the bar before Mr. liammill, charged with the wil ful murder of his wife, Charlotte Lovey, by stabbing her with a table-knife. From the evidence adduced at the former examina- tions it appeared that the prisoner had lived for some years past on very unhappy terms with his wife, who, in consequence of his violent conduct towards her, was compelled to proceed to the Thames Police court on the 19th ult. to obtain a warrant for his ap prehension. On apprising him of the course she had adopted soon after her return, the prisoner, who was dressing some meat at the fire with a knife in hid hand, became greatly exasperated, and, uttering a pas sionate exclamation, instantly raised the weapon and plunged it into the right side of her throat. The poor woman immediately staggered out of the room, with the blood pouring profusely from the wound, and on reaching the street was caught in the arms of two persons who were passing, and conveyed to a surgeon's in the neighbourhood, who directed her instant re moval to the hospital, where, after lingering in a hopeless state for a period of eight days, she ultimately expired from the effects of the injury. Mr. John Wyatt, house surgeon of the London Hospital, stated that, on the woman being placed under his care on the night in question, she was in a very exhausted condition, and bleeding copiously from an incised wound in the right side of the neck, three-quarters of an inch in length, and nearly three inches in depth, which terminated fatally on the 27th ult. Upon performing a post-mortem examination he found that a knife, or some other sharp instrument, had passed within the eighth of an inch of the carotid artery, transfixing the pharynx, which was cut com pletely through on both sides. Ile also found an extensive abscess amongst the muscles of the neck upon the opposite side, but he was clearly of opinion that the cause of her death had arisen from the ge neral inflammation of the tissues of the neck, result ing from the wound. The prisoner, who was greatly dejected, and pre sented a very haggard and emaciated appearance, de clined offering any defence, and was fully committed to Newgate for trial upon the charge of wilful murder. William Cakraft, the public executioner, was then charged, at the instance of the parish officers of the - Witham Union, in Essex, with having neglected and refused to support his aged mother, Sarah Cal craft, who had become chargeable to the parish of Hatfield Peveril, he being of sufficient ability so to do, and legally liable for her maintenanes. Mr. Shee, the relieving officer of the union, stated that the defendant's mother, who was 73 years of age, had been an inmate of the Witham work house during the last fortnight, and, having been subjected to the usual examination to ascertain the position and circumstances of her nearest existing relatives, it was elicited from her that she had only two sons, one of whom was the defendant, and that the other sen was wandering about the country, with out any fixed habitation, or any apparent means of affording her relief. It was therefore determined to proceed against the defendant for his mother's mainte nance, and in consequence of directions he had re ceived from the board of guardians,- witness came to town by railway on the preceding day, and repaired to the defendant's house, Devizes-street, lioxton, where he found him in the working dress of a shoemaker, which he believed to be his ordinary occupation ; but upon disclosing his business the defendant positively refused to comply with the requisition of the board, and it therefore became necessary to take out a sum mons against him. Mr. lismuu.r.., on referring to the terms of the Act relating to such cases, said, that it was not only necessary to establish the defendant's liability, but also to prove he had competent means to support his mother, which last was strictly enjoined, by the Act, and inquired if the relieving-officer was furnished with the necessary evidence to that extent ? The witness answered, that it was well known the defendant was in the receipt of a good income from the office he held under the corporation of London, in addition to which the indications he had himself af forded of carrying on the trade of a shoemaker were confirmed by the testimony of his mother, who was then in such a state of helpless debility from her age and infirmities as to preclude her removal to town, a distance of thirty-six miles, to support the complaint ; but if the magistrate felt it necessary to postpone the case he should be able to produce an officer of th e C orpora ti on to depose to the amount of permanent income the defendant received, and n he held in his hand the certificate ofth ase the parish surgeon to prove the cause of the mother's should - Af r . i tek mu iLb justified said, at that presenthe i did n conceive n n ia o k t ing an ode r ho r against the defendant in the absence of sur:h evidence, w as imperative, and in order tosdford tie re lieving ingofficer an opportunity of adducing the formal proof that the defendant was in a condition to sup port his:aged mother, he should adjourn the case for a week. LAMBETH. Mr. Chapel Whaley Fowler, a man of respectable appearance, was placed at the bar before Mr. Elliott, on a charge of being concerned with his brother (not in custody) in stealing six horses, of the value of 3001., the property of Mr. Philip Law, proprietor of the Three Nuns livery stables, in Aldgate.

On the sth of January last he (Mr. Law) received information, while lying on a bed of sickness, that the prisoner and his brother had absconded, taking with them six of the most valuable of the eight animals under their charge, together with their clothing, and this information he subsequently found to be true. He also traced two of the horses to a horse-dealer in Oxford, to whom the prisoner had sold them for less than half their value, but this person refused to deliver them up until the person stealing them was convicted. Of the prisoner himself he (Mr. Law), heard nothing until the preceding afternoon, when he walked into the Three Nuns-yard, and, with the most perfect indifference, acknowledged that he had sold the horses and spent the money, and he was then given into custody. The defence set up on behalf of the prisoner was, that a partnership existed between him and the pro secutor. This, however, the prosecutor positively denied, and the prisoner was remanded until Tuesday next. SOUTHWARK. Catherine Williams, a young woman in the service of a lady named Wright, living at the west end of the town, was charged with stealing a gold watch, brooch, and ring, and half-a-dozen silver spoons, the properiy t , f her mistress. It appeared that on Friday evening the prisoner, with a young man in her company, attracted the notice of a policeman by the prodigal manner in which she was treating her companion to liquors and pastry as they went along. She was observed with a splendid ring on her finger, and to change some gold, and this circumstance induced the policeman to follow the parties, who ultimately entered the into custody.

The complainant's ring and brooch were found in the prisoner's posseAou, and the gold watch and spoons were ascertained to have been pledged at a pawn broker's shop. In the course of the examinatian the record of the prisoner's former conviction at the Central Criminal Court in October last was produced, bT which it ap peared she had undergone six months imprisonment for robbing a former employer. Mr. A'BECYETT inquired of the complaisant whether she had received any character with the pri soner, and her reply was in the negative, saying that she took the prisoner into her service from motives of charity, she being at the time in the greatest possible distress. Complainant added that of course she was not aware that the prisoner had ever been tried and convicted of any offence. THE LEVEE.
