In the course of this week a very extensive system of plunder, which has been carried on for five or six months, was cleverly detected. About three or four weeks ago some circumstances occurred which led to the suspicion that Messrs. T. R. and F. Andrews, drapers, of Wolverhampton, were being robbed to a vast amount, and that the re ceiver was connected with the Birmingham police force. The information was in the first instance communicated to Superintendent Stevens, who im mediately devised means by which the guilty par ties would be detected. He opened up a communi cation with Messrs. Andrews, who had not the slightest idea, their stock being very extensive, that property to a considerable amount had been abstracted from their premises. From what was stated to them, however, suspicion was excited towards one of their assistants, named William Neale, and two of the Birmingham detectives were sent to Wolver hampton, to exercise a strict surveillance over his movements. From what they observed, there could be no doubt of the fact that Neale was the thief, and equally little hesitation could be felt in coming to the conclusion that a policeman in the Birmingham force, named Richard Mills, residing in Camden-street, was the receiver. He also was closely watched ; and it was found that packages of goods were regularly sent off by Neale, by rail and omnibus, at least once a week, and sometimes oftener, and as regularly re ceived by Mills. At length it was resolved, if possi ble, to bring the charge home to the parties. For this purpose some portions of the stock of Messrs. Andrews, by direction of Mr. Stephens, were marked, on Monday last, and they were shortly afterwards missed. Neale was observed to send a package off by rail, and immediately t h e f ac t was communicated to Mr. Stephens. On Tuesday afternoon that gentleman, accom panied by Inspector Glossop, proceeded to the Sand Pits station, where Mills was on duty, at the time when it was expected the package would arrive. Mills there received the parcel, signed the delivery book, stating that it was all right; when Mr. Ste phens immediately showed himself, and took Mills into custody on a charge of receiving property know ing it to be stolen. The fellow was thunder-struck, and admitted that he bad received great quantities of property frcm Neale, although he declared that he did not know that it was improperly obtained. While this transaction was taking place, Mr. Glossop hurried off to Mills's house, and was about to institute a search, when he observed the postman enter the door. He handed two letters to Mrs. Mills, w hi c h by Mr.l Glossop. I were instantly snitched from her hand was exceedingly ex l c e e t e t d er in s gl w y er f e ort u u l n t a im te a t te h l a y t he did so, inasmu c h a found to be of the greatest importance in the case. They were from Neale, and one of them contained the key of the box in which the goods were packed. The other contained directiens as to the prices at which the prcperty was to be disposed of; but espe cially urged upon Mills the necessity of taking the pri vate mark off the goods, so as to destroy their identity, and to get rid of any he had in hand as speedily as Possible, as he had a suspicion that the Birmingham police were watching him. This was a principal link in the evidence against them ; but stronger proofs of guilt were afterwards found. In Mills's house was a room, fitted up as a sort of warehouse, and there every article of an ex tensive drapery stock was discovered. Costly silks, satins, velvets, prints, calicoes, stockings, gloves, rich laces, purses, neck ties, silk pocket handkerchiefs, and many other articles of drapery, to the amount of be tween 501. and 601., were systematically arranged. Information of what had occurred was sent to Colonel Hogg, the superintendent of the Wolverhampton police, and to Mr. Andrews, both of whom hastened to Birmingham, and found that the greater portion of the property discovered could be identified. Mills was consequently conveyed to Wolverhamp ton, and at the same time Neale was apprehended, when he at once acknowledged that he did send the goods to Mills. It was under these circumstances that they were brought before the Wolverhampton magistrates on Wednesday and remanded. Since that period further inquiry has shown that the system of plunder alluded to has been carried on for about six months, and to an extent that was scarcely imagined at first. It hrs been ascertr.ined. that no fewer - than 14 bulky packages had been re ceived by Mills during the last two months. A book in account with the Birmingham Savings Bank, in Neale'a name, was found in Mills's house, showing a deposit to the amount of 301., and on Neale himself memoranda of deposits made in the Birmingham Bank to the extent of 701. Further inquiry also revealed the fact that Mrs. Mills had disposed of drapery goods in the neighbourhood of her residence of the value of nearly 60/., and that a young girl, named Jane Lewis Coleshy, in the employment of a button manufacturer, and who resided with Mills, was instrumental in finding purchasers for articles to a similar amount. Goods of the value of 180/. have thus been accounted for. The list of persons to whom the girl scld arti cles contains the names of no fewer than 122 indivi duals. Jo consequence of these discoveries, both Mrs. Mills and the girl were apprehended as accessories. It appears that the intimacy between Mills and Neale arose from the circumstance that both were na tives of the same village, situated in the southern divi sion of this county. Neale was generally regarded with confidence, and Mills, who has been in the Bir mingham police for the last seven or eight years, was looked upon as a quiet, steady officer, and seemingly incapable of being involved in so serious a transac tion. The mode in which they did business apparently was this :—Neale generally came to Birmingham on Sunday, and then received the proceeds of what sales had taken place during the week, Mills doubt less obtaining a very handsome per tentage by way of commission. This is an epitome of the case, so far as at present ascertained. Yesterday (Friday) the whole of the prisoners were taken before Mr. Leigh, the stipendiary magistrate, when so much of the case was stated as would justify a second remand, which was granted till next Friday.-Birmingham Journal. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. 110 AI E CIRCUIT.— Croydon, August 11. (Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON and a Common Jury.) TIIE QUEEN ON THE PROSECUTION OF GRAHAM V. JOHN WHITEHEAD AND OTHERS. This way an indictment for a conspiracy preferred against John Whitehead, senior, John Whitehead, junior, and George Wyatt. Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Bodkin conducted the pro secution; and Mr. Ballantine and Mr. Prentis defended John Whitehead, senior, who alone appeared to take his trial. The offence imputed to the defendants was that of having conspired unlawfully together to obtain from Major Graham, and a gentleman named Head, the sum of 1,500/., by falsely pretending that the plant and other property in a distillery at Lambeth, which was carried on by the defendants under the firm of Whitehead and Co., was their own property, and that they had consequently the power to mortgage it for that amount. It appeared that shortly before the month of June last the younger Whitehead entered into communication with Major Graham upon the subject of a loan to be advanced by that gentleman upon the security of his lease and the plant, horses, waggons, &c., connected with the distillery, and the defendant represented to Major Graham that the property was worth 5,0001. or 6,0001., and that he had. expended a large sum in improving it. At first Major Graham was solicited to become a partner, but this he declined to do, and at length an arrangement was entered into by which he agreed to advance 1,5001. to the defendants upon their executing a bond and bill of sale, by which they agreed to pay 40/. a month for the loan of the money for a period of five years. It seemed that Major Graham was at first struck with the liberality of the interest that was to be paid, but the younger Whitehead got over this difficulty by telling him an extraordinary tale of the quantity of spirit that could be purchased with ready money, by which they should save threepence a gallon, and afterwards make a much larger profit by it when it was worked up into different spirits and compounds ; and at length the bond and bill of sale were drawn up by Mr. Sandilands, the attorney for Major Graham. This gentleman, it ap peared, had no money of his own, and the amount. was advanced to him by Mr. Head, a gentleman of fortune, with whom he was acquainted. Very soon after the money had been advanced, it was ascertained that the defendants were merely the holders of the; lease of the premises, which had two years to run ; that they had no title whatever to the plant, and that the horses and carts used in the busines a were merely hired, and that the property, in fact,, belonged to a lady named Sinclair, and in the com mencement of the present year the firm be came bankrupt. The evidence against the defendants John 'Whitehead, senior, and George Wyatt, merely went to show that after the money had been advanced they had countenanced the assertions that had been made by the younger Whitehead, and had stated that according to the value of the property 2,000/. more ought to be advanced upon it. Upon the cross-exa mination of Mr. Sandilands, Major Graham's attor ney, that gentleman admitted that although he was aware of the existence of a lease he did not take the trouble to look at it ; and it also appeared that be had handed over a considerable portion of the money to the defendants before the bond was executed, taking. their promissory notes as a security. It also appeared that the defendants had been in negotiation with Mrs. Sinclair for the purchase of the plant, &c., of the dis tillery, and that a sum of 1,1001. had been agreed upon to be paid for it; but the negotiation went off because they could not raise the amount. It like wise appeared that, although during the whole time the negotiations and inquiries connected with the po sition of the defendants were going on, a person con nected with Mrs. Sinclair was upon the distillery, not a single question was ever put to him, either by Major Graham or any other person, with reference to the ownership of the property. Mr. BALLANTINE addressed the jury at some length in behalf of the defendant, contending that the legal offence of conspiracy had not been established, and also commenting upon the want of proper caution that had been exhibited, not only by Major Graham, but also by his attorney, Mr. Sandilands. Baron ALDERSON, in summing up, said the question the jury had to decide was, whether the defendant had wilfully conspired with the other two persons whose aames had been mentioned to make the false representation that they were the proprietors and owners of the plant of this distillery, in order to obtain the money of the prosecutor. He could not help expressing his surprise that a gentleman in the position of life of Major Gra ham should have been a party to a transaction which was certainly of a most usurious character, or how he could have been foolish enough to suppose that it could be an honest transaction in which he was to re ceive 5201. a year for a loan of 1,500/. There could be no doubt that the representations which had been made by the defendants with respect to the property were false ; but he must say that there had been not only a great want of caution evinced by Major Gra ham, but that Mr. Sandilands had acted very care lessly and imprudently, when he knew that a lease was in existence, in not asking to see it, for if he had done so he would have seen in a moment that the re presentations of the defendant John Whitehead, jun., were false, and that the plant of the distillery was, in reality, the property of Mrs. Sinclair, and that they had nothing whatever to do with it. . The jury — , after deliberating a short time in the box, expressed a wish to retire. They were absent about half an hour, and they then returned a verdict of Not Guilty. OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Monmouth, Aug. 9. The assizes here closed to-day at four o'clock. Mr. Greaves, Q.C., assisted yesterday in trying pri soners. All the business, with the exception of the following charge of perjury, was disposed of last evening. The other case was not disposed of till too late for post. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice Ears.) Thomas Griffin Philpotts, attorney •at-law, was charged with having committed wilful and corrupt perjury at the last assizes for this county. Mr. Keating, Q.C.,'and Mr. Huddlestone, conducted the prosecution ; and Mr. Sergeant Allen and Mr. Gray the defence. Mr. KEATING, in opening the case for the prosecu tion, after dwelling on the enormity and danger of the crime of perjury generally, said that when a per son who appeared in a cause as an attorney was pre sent at the trial, understood, or supposed he under stood, the law on the subject under investigation, saw a real or supposed difficulty, and tendered his evi d&co for its removal, it was essential that the evidence should be true, or, if false, should be attended with punishment. The facts on which this charge -was founded were these :—On the 27th of March last there came on to be tried in the next court a cause called " Doe on the demise of Thomas Richards, v. Lewis Lewis." It was an action of ejectment brought by Thomas Richards to recover possession of certain leasehold premises held by the defendant. Mr. Philpotts acted on that occasion as the attorney for the plaintiff. The premises in dis pute were held under a lease granted in 1822 to two persons named Rhys Morgan and William Joseph. In that action the plaintiff claimed through Rhys Morgan, and it was therefore necessary for him to show that Morgan was the survivor of the two lessees, and that Joseph was dead ; and accordingly, in the course of the cause, the plaintiff's counsel put in with that view a document which purported to be an office copy of the will of William Joseph, and it was proposed to be read in order to show that Joseph was dead. It was objected that this office copy was not evidence, and could not be read as an office copy of a will in any shape or way. On this Mr. Philpotts, after communicating with his counsel, was called as a witness, and swore that he had compared that docu ment with the original will in the Consistory Court of Llandaff. It was then objected that this did not make the document evidence, and the Learned Judge who presided (Mr. Justice Talfourd) said to the counsel who led for the plaintiff, " An examined copy of a will will not answer. You must have the pro bate or act of probate." On which Mr. Philpotts swore that he had examined the document proposed to be read with the act-book and the act of probate in the Consistorial Court. This appeared rather strange. It was strange that he should have exa mined that document with the original will and with the act-book and the act of probate. Accordingly, the counsel fur the defendant in the action cross examined Mr. Philpotts very strictly, so that there should be no mistake in the matter ; and he re peated distinctly, again and again, that he had ex mined the document with the original will, and with the act-book, and with the act of probate; and on being sifted in cross-examination, he gave the time at which, the place where, the persons with whom, and the circumstances under which he made the examina tion. He stated that he went, in the month of Feb xuary last, to the Consistorial Court of Llandaff, and I'xar2ined the document with the original will, and that there were present during the examination a Mr. Evans, one of the clerks to the registrar of the court, .and a clerk of his own named Smith. Ile was asked about other persons being present ; but Evans and Smith were the only persons mentioned as being pre sent on the occasion. The whole of the material parts of this statement would be proved to be totally and entirely false, and false to the knowledge of the de fendant when he swore them. It would be shown that he did go on the Bth of February to the Consis torial Court of Llandaff; that he asked to see a copy of the will of William Joseph ; that there is a book in which wills are copied ; that a copy of that will was found in that book by the officer of the court ; that he read it and asked for a copy ; and this was between four and five o'clock on Saturday, the Bth Feb.; that the officer told him that he could not have a copy that day, as the office hours had nearly expired ; that the defendant replied his clerk could make one in ten minutes, but was told that they never allowed strangers to make copies of documents in the eccle siastical courts, and that if he wanted a copy one would be made out and sent to him on Monday morning ; that he then asked what was to be paid for it, and was told the sum, and paid it and went away ; and that the copy was made on the Monday and transmitted by post. In fact, there was not a single portion of the material parts of what he swore true. It should be added that the document was still ob jected to by the counsel for the defendant as inadmis sible, and the Learned Judge said to Mr. Alexander, the counsel for the plaintiff, that he would receive it if pressed by the plaintiff. Thereupon, the plaintiff's counsel said he would withdraw it for the present. That was a circumstance which would probably be relied on by his Learned Friends to show that the legal crime of perjury had not been committed. But he submitted that the document being tendered in a cause under judicial investigation and objected to, and this false evidence being given in order to obviate the objection and render it admissible, the legal crime of perjury was that moment complete, whether the document was afterwards withdrawn or not, and that its being withdrawn made no difference in the crime. This case was analo gous to those in which perjury was assigned on affi davits, the jurats of which were so defective that they could not be used in court. Another ground of de fence might be that the defendant went to the court in the month of October, and by mistake said Fe bruary for October. But it would be shown that when he went in October it was to go and see ano ther will, and not that of William Joseph, and that at no period whatever did he compare the document in question with the original will of William Joseph, or with the act-book or the act of probate. It would be shown that the original wills were kept in the record room in the cathedral, which was a totally different place from the office where Mr. Philpotts had been. The practice of the Llandaff office was to keep wills in bundles according to the date, and when after the trial at the last assizes a search was made the original will of William Joseph was fuund in its proper place, never having been exhibited to Mr. Philpotts or any other person. It appeared that, when a will was ap plied for, it was taken out of the office in the cathe dral, and taken to the registrar's-office, and there put in a bundle by itself and kept there for a year or so, when it was replaced in its proper place. These were the facts on which the prosecution rested, and he sub mitted that they constituted the legal as well as the moral crime of perjury. If the defendant's statement was false, it must be to his own knowledge, for it must be observed that when he produced the document be stated that he had compared it with the original will and the act of probate and the act-book ; whereas the document was made out after he left the office and sent to him by post, and he never compared or examined it with anything in that office. This statement was fully established by the evidence in every respect, except that it was not clearly made out for what purpose the copy of the will of William Joseph was tendered in evidence on the trial of the action, the counsel for the prosecution now contending that it was for the purpose of showing inferentially the death of Joseph, and the counsel for the defendant saying it could not have been any evidence of that circumstance, and that it was to explain something in another will, which, however, did not more fully or otherwise appear on either the former or the present trial. On the close of the case for the prosecution, the counsel for the defendant submitted that the con tents of William Joseph's will were utterly immate rial to the determination of the issue in the action of ejectment. His Lordship said that was clearly so. The Learned Counsel then contended, that as the contents of the will were utterly immaterial to the issue in that action, everything sworn by the defendant in reference to them was immaterial, and conse quently could not be the subject of an indictment for perjury. The counsel for the prosecution, on the other hand, contended that though the contens of the will were immaterial to the issue, yet the death of Joseph was most material to it, and as an examined copy of the probate of the will was some circumstan tial evidence, however slight, of his death, everything sworn by the defendant in order to get that examined copy admitted in evidence, was sufficiently material to maintain this indictment. His LORDSHIP said, that though his own private opinion was that the law ought to be that whatever was sworn in the course of a cause in a court of jus tice should be the subject of an indictment for per jury, yet he had not the least doubt that as the law now stood that which was the subject of an indict ment must be something more capable of supporting the issue. He would not now determine this ques tion, but reserve it for the Court of Criminal Appeal, if the verdict should be against the defendant. Mr. Sergeant ALLEN then addressed the jury for the defendant. After his LORDSHIP had summed up, The jury deliberated for four minutes, and then re. turned with a verdict of Guilty. The defendant was then admitted to bail till the next maims, in order that the point reserved may be decided in the Court of Appeal. Francis Davies was indicted for a burglary on the 7th of January, in the house of Miss Hannah B. Da vies, at Usk, and Anne Denham for inciting him to commit the same. Mr. Skinner conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Smythies the defence. This case was remarkable for the train of circum stantial evidence by which the guilt of the woman was established. The principal witness was a man named Clarke, who was under sentence of transpor tation for another offence. He stated that he had been a lodger in the house of a man named John Denham, the husband of the prisoner, who had been an officer of Monmouth gaol, and afterwards set up the trade of a marine storedealer that he and the prisoners and John Denham planned the burglary in question, and that the prisoner Anne told them that they would find a gold watch on the mantelpiece and some wedge (a cant word for silver plate) in a short round thing like a stool, in the house of Miss Davies, and de scribed the house to them ; that, following her direc tions, Davies and himself got into the house and broke open a cellaret, which they thought answered the de scription of a short round thing like a stool, but found no plate in it ; nor did they find a watch on the mantelpiece, but they found some plate in other parts . of the hous e , an d t oo k it aw ay, and also a stick, had belonged to an old gentleman who had resided . in the house, and a p ac k o f ca rds and a bottle of spirits, which last they drank on the road back, and which made them intoxicated. They had used as a wedge for forcing open a door a wooden mesh for netting, and, in their hurry, left it behind. On their ar- ... 1 ... 2 ... 3 ... 1 ... 2 ... a ... 1 THE LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 12, 1851. rival at Denham's, they threw mud against a window as a sign for him to let them in, and ha accordingly did so. Anne Denham, on seeing the stick, said, " Why, this is the old man's stick. What do you keep this for ?" and burnt it immediately. Clarke further stated that Denham went to Bristol the next day to sell the plate, and on his return divided the proceeds between himself, Clarke, and Davies. A few days afterwards, to an inquiry by Patrick Cusack, a very sharp and shrewd police-officer, as to how the mud had got on the window, Anne said that two drunken men had flung it there. Cusack at the same time seeing a pack of cards in the house, took them up and said, " Cards were lost out of Miss Davies's, house, and therefore I shall take these." Anne there upon cried, and begged of him not to do so. This pack was identified as the one lost from Miss Davies's. It was proved that on the night of the burglary, a stick belonging to an old gentleman was stolen from the house, and that about four years ago Anne was working as a dressmaker in the house, and had seen a gold watch on the mantlepiece and the plate in the cellaret ; and that in neither case were watch or plate kept in those places, but merely happened to be so on that occasion. The mesh left behind at Miss Davies's matched with a needle found at the prisoner Davies's lodgings. A centrebit, proved to belong to Davies, fitted the holes bored in the door. The tollkeeper of the chain bridge at Usk proved that a person much like Davies passed that bridge, which is about a mile from the scene of the burglary, about two hours be fore the time that the burglary was committed, and in taking his change turned his head away from the light as if to avoid recognition. After a very long investigation both prisoners were convicted, and Davies was sentenced to be transported for life, and Denham for ten years. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Henry Page, a young man of respectable appear ance and address, was brought before the Lord Mayor in the custody of City policeman Fenning, 565, charged with having fired a loaded pistol at John Francis Hache with intent to kill and murder him. John Francis Hache—l am a bootmaker, and carry on business at Boulogne. I am now staying at the Monument Hotel in Fish-street-hill. I came to town on Saturday morning at ten o'clock, from Bou logne, in the Seine steamer, and arrived at London bridge-wharf, and I went to transact the business I came about, as I intended to return yesterday morn ing. I returned to London-bridge-wharf at quarter to six in the evening of the day I arrived to fetch away the key of my portmanteau, which I had for gotten, and was coming back to the Monument Hotel when I met the prisoner at the back of the church. He came up and shook hands with me, and asked me how I was, and I returned the compliment. I then asked him if he had any news. Ido not re collect whether he replied or not. We walked to gether about twenty yards, and I suppose he stood behind a yard or two. I then, finding that he was not alongside of me, looked back to see where be was, and I Fal,v a pistol in his hand, which he immediately fired at me. I observed him after he had fired aim the pistol at me, and then I was more frightened than I was at first. The LORD MAYOR—How long have you known the prisoner ? The prosecutor—l became acquainted with him some time about Christmas last, when we were both living at 37, Fish-street-hill, which is kept by Mr. Unsworth, and where I was in the habit of residing when I came to town. The LORD MAYOR—Is he a married man ? The prosecutor—l know nothing about him, but from being occasionally in the house, 37, which is a coffeee-house. The LORD MAYOR—Have you had any quarrel with him ? The prosecutor—No. The LORD MAYOR—Has he ever threatened to do you any injury ? The prosecutor—He has not threatened me in my presence, but be has threatened me to several other parties. Last Saturday week, when I landed here from Boulogne I was told something of the kind would happen, but I did not take any notice of it. I did not apprehend any such thing. The LORD MAYOR—There must have been some cause for such an act ? The prosecutor—l believe it to have arisen from jealousy about a young woman who is living at 37, Fish-street-hill. It is jealousy without a cause. The Loup MAYOR—Do you mean that he suspected you were paying too much attention to a young wo man to whom he was paying his addresses ? The prosecutor—l do. The LORD MAYOR—Have you had any words with him about her ? The prosecutor—No. We had no words. Yesterday week he and I met and spent much of the day together. We were friends all day. The LORD MAYOR—And you were talking about the lady, I suppose, in the course of your conversa tion ? The prosecutor—The conversation of the whole day was about her. He told me he supposed that I was going to marry her. I told him that I had no intention of the kind, and that I was ready and willing to give him any proof with which he might be satisfied that I meant no such thing. The LORD MAYOR—Do you believe that he con sidered you wanted to supersede him in her affections ? The prosecutor—l do believe so. The LORD MAYOR—Are you paying your addresses to her ? The prosecutor—Not after what I found out. The LORD MAYOR—What conversation have you had with the lady since ? The prosecutor—On the Monday week, after the conversation with him, the prisoner wished me to go to her to induce her to come and meet him, and show that what I said was correct. I did so, and she agreed to come at six o'clock the same evening. I went accordingly to her at six o'clock in the evening, and then she told me she had changed her mind and would not keep the engage ment. I then went to the prisoner, and told him what her determination was, and we spent four hours together that night. He said to me that she was playing with both us. I said to him, "Do not men tion both of us, as I am not in the same position you are." He wished me to have half an hour's conversa tion with her as to a promise which he said she had made to him. I have not bad that conversation with her. I went on the Sunday night to see my father, who was at 37, Fish-street-hill. The prisoner came into the house about a quarter of an hour afterwards. She was then taking her supper, and I bad supper at the same table with her. I said to her, " Why do you not ask him to have some supper ?" and she said she would ; but whether she did or not I do not know. He was at the bar for a little while, and he suddenly disappeared, and I never saw him since that time till Saturday last, as I have mentioned. The LORD MAXOR—What is the lady's Christian name ? The prosecutor—l do not know. She is, I believe, the daughter of Mr. Unsworth, and a widow. The LORD MAYOR—Did the prisoner, when the pistol was discharged, make any observation to you ? The prosecutor—l do not know whether he said any thing or not. After he discharged the pistol he threw it at me, and we came in contact, and the police man then came up. (Here a coat was produced, in the skirt of which there were two holes.) I had that coat on when the pistol was fired at me, and there was no hole in it when I put it on that day. I believe the holes to have been caused by the discharge from the pistol. The prisoner, upon being asked whether he wished to ask the prosecutor any question, replied in the negative. Fleming; 565, said, at a quarter before six on Saturday evening I was in Lower Thames-street, opposite to London-bridge-wharf gateway. I heard the report of a pistol, and upon turning round saw the prisoner standing with a pistol in his band. There was a great deal of smoke. I went down the gate way, and the prisoner threw the pistol out of his hand into the road. I laid hold of him, and took him into cus tody, and picked up the pistol. The barrel was warm. I searched the prisoner at the station-house, and found upon him two bullets, seven percussion caps, and some powder, and also the portrait of a lady. I believe the portrait is that of the lady in question. He had also about him three keys and a knife, and 10d. in money. He did not speak at all. There is a percussion cap now on the nipple of the pistol which appears to have exploded. The LORD MAYOR desired the prosecutor to look at the portrait, and say whether he knew the ori ginal. The prosecutor—lt is the portrait of the lady. The LORD MAYOR—Have you had that portrait in your possession ? The prosecutor—No ; but I saw it in his possession on the Sunday before last, and I also saw in his possession a parcel of letters, which be wished me to read, but I declined doing so. The lady is, I believe, called Madame Thourin, and she has a son, but I do not know his name. Fenning, the policeman, here produced the f o ll ow ing letter, which, he found in the prisoner's p oc k e t It was addressed, " Madame Elizabeth Thou r i n , a Mr. J. Unsworth's, 37, Fish-street-hill, London. bridge." " London, August 8. " Dear One,—For the abominable and atrocious act I am on the verge of perpetrating, you, false one, and you alone, will be held responsible. Although fully aware of my intention, and knowing that but one kind word would soothe my wounded spirit and change the fright ful ideas I entertain, you prefer braving me to the com mission of a deed as repugnant to my feelings as it is offensive and criminal both in the sight of God and man, to stretching forth an arm to save me from that gulph which is now preparing to receive your wretched victim. You have nothing to palliate the extent of your perfidy. Still professing the warmest affection for me, an utter indifference, in fact, dislike, for the person for whom I have been discarded, you still from caprice, or I . know not what, declin e g i v i ng m e any explanation of your conduct. What am Ito think ? How am Ito act . ? After feeding my passion with every encouragement for more than a year, now to find myself thus forsaken is more than my imperfect and weak system can bear. lould you but assign the slightest motive for changing our sentiments, I might even support this cruelty with some degree of calmness; but no, even now while your letters, actions, words, reiterate the same warm expres sions of affection, you have always appeared to entertain for your devoted friend while I am satisfied from your own lips that the new object of your choice is disagreeable and even loathsome to you —you still decline giving me your reasons for thus de siring abruptly to sever the connexion which has so long and so agreeably existed between us, and which, during my residence in England, has been the only tie which enabled me to support my humble position, in the firm hope of possessing your hand and heart. You it was who, by favouring and encouraging these pretensions, have destroyed my peace of mind and prospects for ever. I say again its all your doing. Instead of the golden dreams which have hitherto floated before me, of wan dering together through life as partners in pleasure or in pain, you suddenly unveil my blindness and reveal the abyss into which you have plunged a too confiding heart, whose only crime was that of loving too deeply. I ask again why—why this inexplicable, this extraordi nary and mysterious conduct? I cannot, after racking my brain to the utmost, account for it. You invite me day after day to see you. To what end? It would appear as if it were only to add torture to my present suffering, or to laugh at and mock my weaknesses, to tell me continually that you are about to become the wife of a man whom you hate—of a man who has re sorted to a hundred cowardly and contemptible schemes to injure me and undermine the good opinion your father, until his interference, always entertained of me. He, too, was the principal actor in the scheme which obliged me to quit your dear presence ; but retribu tion is at hand, and you, false one, mark my words. Whatever pleasure my sufferings may afford you to-day you will at some future period sorely repent thus trifling with a too sensitive and forgiving friend. I say forgiving, because my infatuation is such that notwith standing the sufferings you have forced me to endure my affection has not in the least diminished, and, as I before observed, but one word of explanation, was it fa vourable or otherwise, would have prevented the com mission of that fault which my maddened brain, stung to the quick by your perfidy, has prompted me to com mit. In fact, lam urged by some power to this deed, and I must follow the decree of fate. " May God forgive you this, and all these errors into which my deep-rooted love may have involved you. May he bless you with life' to atone for the past, and shower upon you and your dear little Auguste (whom I had hoped to have called son) all those blessings of which this life is susceptible, and hereafter those mercies which he extends to all those who truly repent. This is the prayer—the fervent prayer of your wretched victim, yet still devoted friend and lover, " HENRY." John Rubidge, coachmaker, said, I live in the George-street Bloomsbury Model Lodging houses. The prisoner did live in the same house. On Friday I went with the prisoner to a shop in New Oxford-street, where he bought a pistol. He bought one for 7a. 6d., which was like to this, but I thought the barrel of the pistol he bought was a little longer than the barrel of this. He els') bought there some percussion caps and several balls. Previously to going he asked me in the kitchen whether I was a judge of pistols. I said, " No, but I should know whether a pistol was a good or a bad one." He told me he wanted a pistol to shoot at a mark, and I thought, as he was an American, that it was very probable. The LORD MAYOR, having given the usual caution to the prisoner, asked him whether it was his wish to say anything? The prisoner—l have only to say, my Lord, that the individual who stands there (point ing to the prosecutor) has been the ruin of me com pletely. He has by twenty different means resorted to measures calculated to injure me, and undermine me in the opinion of those who respect me, and whom I have respected, and he has ruined and blasted my prospects for the future. The prisoner was then committed for trial at the Central Criminal Court, upon the charge of shooting at the prosecutor with intent to kill and murder him. It was stated, but not openly, in the court, that the unfortunate, wretched man attempted at the station house to strangle himself with his braces. He has been for some time an interpreter of languages, seven or eight of which, it was said, he perfectly under stands. BO W-STREET. Alary Olive Keighleywas charged with having at tempted to strangle herself in Gordon-square. The defendant muttered something about her de termination to do it again, and was then remanded to Thursday. Eliza Purbrook, a married woman, was charged with cutting her throat, while under the influence of jealousy and drink. Mr. C. J. Purbrook, the' husband, reluctantly ad mitted that she had once before attempted to destroy herself when in a violent temper and excited by too much drink. Her own sister had attended her during a recent illness, but there was not the slightest pre tence for any eeling of jealousy towards her; indeed, the first attempt was made before the sister ever came to the house. He added that he had repeatedly seen his wife in the hospital, and she had expressed her willingness to reside for a short time with one of his relations. It was arranged that the defendant should reside for a short time under the protection of a relative of her husband's ; but she insisted on a stipulation that she should ultimately return to him. Mr. HALL, in disposing of the case, remarked that he had had to deal with a great many similar com• plaints lately, and in every instance the tendency to drink had been their chief origin. The defendant was then restored to her husband, after a solemn promise not to repeat the offence. WORSHIP-STREET. An athletic middle-aged man, who refused to give either name or address, was placed at the bar before Mr. Tennyson D'Eyncourt (who sat for the first time since his appointment in succession to Mr. Arnold, removed to Westminster), charged with burglariously breaking into the dwelling-house of a maiden lady named Burgess, residing in Fountain-place, City road. _ The prosecutrix stated that upon entering her bed room at ten o'clock on Saturday night she discovered the window of the apartment wide open, and upon examining the place, which had been thoroughly ran sacked, she discovered that a mahogany writing-desk, a carget-bag, and numerous other articles, which she had left there sate half an hour before, had been carried off. Directly after she had discovered her loss she heard the springing of a constable's rattle in the street, and upon looking through the window she observed the prisoner making• his way along the parapet towards the adjoining house, where his pro gress was apparently stopped by the party wall, and on her demanding his business there he coolly replied that a burglary had been effected, and that he had made his way up there to assist in apprehending the thieves. Finding that he was compelled by the obstacle before him to retrace his steps, he attempted again to rush past her window, but was instantly seized by the witness, who grasped him firmly by the leg, and held him determinedly, notwithstanding his oaths and violent efforts to escape, until she was almost forced by him over the parapet into the street, when she was compelled, to save herself, to relinquish her hold, and the prisoner broke away from her, but was shortly after secured by a policeman on the roof of one of the adjoining houses. Police-constable Mattock, G 162, stated that while on duty in Fountain-place at the time in question, he received information from a gentleman in one of the adjoining houses that he had just seen the head and shoulders of a man protruding through the area widow of an unoccupied house next door to him, and on the witness descending into the area he found that the glass of the frame had been forced out, and directly beneath it were the writing-desk, carpet-bag, and articles of ladies' attire now produced, all packed up ready for removal. Witness then made his way up to the top of the house, and having passed through the trap-door on to the roof, picked up two silk handkerchiefs just dropped there, and at the same moment saw the prisoner advancing rapidly towards him from the direction of the prosecutrix's bedroom window. On asking him what business he had there, he repeated his former statement that he had come to assist in capturing the thieves, and attempted to rush past him, but was instantly seized by the witness, who forced him through the trap-door and lodged him in the station-house.
