COMMON PLEAS.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings at Nisi Prius at Guildhall, before Mr. Justice CRESSWELL.) LODER AND ANOTHER U. T'URDAY. This was an action to recover damages from the defendant for publishing a certain musical composi tion, called " Pestal," of which the plaintiffs claimed the copyright. Mr. Sergeant Talfourd and Mr. Peteradorff con ducted the plaintiffs' case, and Mr. Sergeant Byles and another Learned Gentleman appeared for the defendant. The defendant pleaded, Ist, not guilty ; 2 , 11 y, that there was no such copyright as alleged in the decla ration ; and, 3,11 y, that the plaintiffs were not the proprietors of the copyright of the said work. rom the statement of Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD, it appeared that the plaintiffs were Messrs. Cocks and Loder, musical publishers, 63, New Bond-street, and that this action was brought for the purpose of vindicating their right to obtain compensation in damages against Mr. Purday, who is also a musical publisher, carrying on business in St. Paul's-churchyard. The question to be submitted to the consideration of the jury arose out of the publication of a song and its accompanime n t s , called "Pestal." It app eare d th at a gent l eman of the name of Bellamy, who was possessed of considerable musical taste, had had his attention directed to the MS. of a song of great beauty in the possession of his wife, Mrs. Bellamy, and as it had never been published, he thought it desirable that it should be made known to the world. lie accordingly composed some poetry, which he adapted to the air, and preceded the music with a kind of anecdote. He supposed it to be coin posed by a person of the name of Pestal, who figured in Russian history as a strenuous advocate of reform, in opposition to the despotic power in that kingdom, and for which he was executed at Moscow in the year 1826. The song was afterwards corrected and revised by Mr. Charles E. Horn, and that gentle man assisted Mr. Bellamy in arranging the musical accompaniment to it, so that it might be presented to the world in its present form. On the title-page of the work the following anecdote, previously ref erre d t o , was printed :—" The ill-fated individual, who bore the name of Petal, having rendered himself obnoxious to the Russian Government, was imprisoned and condemned to death. A few hours before his execution he com• posed, and scratched on the walls of his dungeon, the following exquisite air, the touching melody of which, added to the circumstances under which it was written, have suggested the words which will be found on the other side." The melody in question was sold by Mr. Bellamy to the present plaintiffs in October, 1844, for the sum of five pounds ; and shortly after its publication it became so popu lar that between 11,000 and 12,000 copies were Bold by May, 1845, and the plaintiffs were induced to have it arranged as a duet for two voices, and also as a waltz and a march. In the present year the plaintiffs found a great falling off in the sale of the worth e y Pk, and subsequently ascertained that it Lad been pirat e d by the defendant ; and, indepen dently i o nl f it t a h t e ed pira c y, the plaintiffs' work was so closely for the other. that the one mi g ht b e eas ily t a k en the circumstances e Learned Serg e ant, a ft er d e t a ili ng at som en length, conc l u d e d b y call ing the following witness Mr. Bellamy examined —He sa id h e had been for some time connected with es musical world, and had written several musical c t o he first acquainted with the air incT.Z:tolitbihern,slBl-415e;bheecawmase imresaring it played attracted by its extreme beaut a.ll,lelwlamy told on the piano by Mrs. Bellam y y. him that it was an air called " Pest had had copied from the manuscript of a f • I)" she her request he wrote the words of the song "end.

The name " Pestal," the anecdote at the commencement, and the mode in which it was printed, we re entirely suggested by him. H e a s signed over the copyright of the song to the plain tiffs in October, 1844. The MS. produced was the one sold to the plaintiffs. About two or three months back he first saw the work published by the defendant. The arrangement of the air differed in some respects, and the words w ere not an exact copy of the original, but altogether it was a close imitation. It was printed is the same style and manner. The anecdote on the title-page was much shorter. Cross examined by Mr. Sergeant BYLES— COPY of the ori g i na l a i r wa s given to Mrs. Bellamy by a young l a dy.

At auction 8,337 bags were all sold. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the demand was active for all kinds of Bengal Sugar, and at public sale 6,221 bags sold at full rates for brown and yellow, whereas white went rather above the prices of the last auction. FOREIGN —To-day there was no public sale of Foreign Sugar, but privately there was much inquiry from shippers and the home trade ; purchases of moment were however prevented by the advanced rates asked. The private operations for exportations during the week are 170 chests of low brown Bahia at 17s, 600 chests of yellow Havannah at 22s to 25s ; at Liverpool a floating cargo of yellow Havannah was sold at 201 Od per cwt, and was considered cheap. MoLAssEs.—For West India the demand is brisker, but prices are not higher. A fair business has been done; Dominica and Antigua of good quality fetched 183 to 18s 6d; other kinds of low quality 15s 6d to 16s. In all 700 puns were sold. COVFEE.—This afternoon a fair amount of business was concluded privately in Native Ceylon at 33s to 33s fid per cwt for good ordinary; of West India 23 casks 65 barrels at auction were all withdrawn and taken in above the rates buyers were disposed to pay. For auction on Tuesday 2,300 bags Costa Rica, 19 casks 698 bags Plan tation Ceylon ; for Wednesday 1,800 bags Ceylon and 60 casks Jamaica are declared. Cocoa.—This afternoon at public sale 134 barrels and 95 bags of West India were only in part sold at a further decline of is ; Trinidad, good dark red went at 403 to 41s 6d, real good bright 445, damaged 39s 6d ; Grenada, good dark sound red was taken in at 40s per cwt. TEA.—Holders of blaek are yet anxious sellers, and continue to supply the market freely. The downward tendency of prices continues, as the quantity pressed for sale is more than the trade require. A reduction on previous rates of id; per lb having been submitted to for Congou, however, occasioned large par cels to be disposed of by private treaty. Pouchong is held for 3d to 4d, but there are, however, few orders in the market. For Green prices suffered a further depression, and rule id to Id ft r Hyson, id for young Hyson, Id to 2d for Imperial, and 2d to 3d for Gunpowder under those of this day week. The low rates current, however, caused a good business to be transacted in all kinds. RICE.—The market has an improving appearance for all descriptions of East India ; on the part of holders there is confidence, and they refrained from submitting any to public competition this week. Buyers have manifested a greater desire to operate. For ex portation a fair quantity has been taken, and the home trade have operated extensively, whilst some parcels were bought by speculators. Prices have further improved, making the advance during the last two weeks of 2s per cwt, and the supply is now much less of all kinds at market. Rico is still selling under the cost of importation. An opinion pre vails that large quantities of Rice will be required for Ireland shortly. The demand for clean Rice has been extensive. Sago is wanted, and the parcels disposed of privately were at stiffer rates. SPICES.—To-day at public sale 44 casks of Nutmegs were all taken in and withdrawn—middling and good limed at 2s 10d to 3s Id; 28 chests:Cassia Lignes sold, good 68s to 70s; 20 cases Cassia Buds taken in at 100 s; 178 bags Pimento sold /d cheaper, good quality at 54d, middling Sid; 643 bgs Malabar Ginger taken in at 24s for common royal; 85 bags white Pepper sold at 4d to 4id for middling dingy. FRUIT.-1 hree public sales were brought forward consisting of all descriptions, at which very little was sold; but afterwards a parcel of old Zante Currants was nearly all taken at 35s to 375. New Prunes, barrels and cases, 35s to 40s. New Imperial French Plums, 5/ lOs to 8/. Boxes Muscatel, layers, 43s to 4.55; ditto bunch, 40s. Parts of eight cargoes of new Valentias were put up to show, ❑one sold; yesterday a parcel of inferior quality was done at 368; but the best decriptions are held for 48s. SPIRITS.—Fine Jamaica Rum has been in good re quest this week, and the rates obtained are equal to those previously current ; for other sorts, however, a fall in the value of 2d per gallon took place, but the operations are upon a larger scale. The sales are 250 puns—plain quality 27 to 30 per cent. over proof at 3s :A to 3s 4d, middling 31 to 33 over 3s 4d to 3s sd, good middling and good 33 to 35 over 3s 7d to 3s 9d, and a parcel of fine high flavour 36 per cent over proof at 4s 4d. For Demerara further reduced prices having been taken, occasioned a fair business to be done, and the sales amount to 200 puns, fair and good quality 34 to 36 over proof at 2e 10d to 3s; 33 to 38 fine 3s to 3s 2d.

Royal West Middlesex Regiment of Militia—Churchill Proby, Gent., to be Lieutenant, Nov. 8. WHITEHALL, Nov. 6. The Lord Chancellor has appointed Arthur Bromley, of Manchester, in the county palatine of Lancaster, to be a Master Extraordinary in the high Court o Chancery. if Mr. Craig is guilty of the offence imputed to him. This Court cannot enter into the conduct of the promoters, the commissioners, or the bishop. He thought Mr. Craig, as a gentleman and a cler gyman, should have met the proceedings in a different manner to that which he had adopted. The Learned Judge here entered into a clear and length ened analysis of the evidence which had been pre viously adduced, a great 'portion of which was not fit for publication. This occupied nearly five hours, and Sir H. J. Fust concluded by giving judgment. "It is not satisfactory to my mind to say the case is clearly established, but I do not say it is disproved. I cannot say there is no suspicion attached to it, or that the articles in this case are not proved. The rev. defendant's conduct to Charlotte Smith has been proved, and he might have behaved in the same manner to others. I think the parties have failed in proving those articles in respect to Ann Smith, to whom he is said to have conducted himself in a very improper manner. The question is, how shall it be visited upon Mr. Craig ? If he had satisfied the Court in reference to this case, the Court would have decided that the parties had failed to establish their articles ; but it appears he has conducted himself in a very improper manner, and some punishment must be administered to him. It appears that during the period he has been in the parish that it has gradually im proved ; yet he appears not to be the person who should have the charge of such a parish as this, having conducted himself in the manner he has to Jane Smith. The question is, what shall be the punishment ? and then, as to the matter of costs, how is it to be decided ? I think the party has proved enough to justify his coming into this Court without attaching to,him any malicious feeling, and has clearly established one part of his case. I, therefore, think it is my duty to suspend the Rev. Mr. Craig from his duties for the space of two years. I think I shall also condemn him in part of the expenses of these proceedings, but I cannot say, how much. In con sideration of other cases which have come before this Court, I shall condemn him in a fine of 2501., in ad dition to the suspension. I declare the parties to have failed in proof of the 4th, sth, 6th, 7th, Sth, and 9th articles, the remainder to have been proved." POLICE INTELLIGENCE. SOUTHWARK. Yesterday Mr. Fitch, solicitor, accompanied by se veral of the board of guardians of the parish of St. George-the-Martyr, Southwark, waited on Mr. Cot tingham relative to the compulsory removal of the oc cupants of a number of dilapidated dwellings in Three Tuns-court, White- street, in which contagion and disease have been prevalent for some time. Mr. Fitch addressed the Magistrate at some length, and in the course of his observations said that the object of his application, and that of the gentlemen by whom he was accompanied, was for the purpose of soliciting the Magistrate's assistance in compelling the removal of the inmates of several houses in the above locality, which were in a most ruinous condi tion. Those dwellings were occupied by a great number of poor people, no less than 77 persons (male and female) living in 15 rooms, which presented a mass of filth and dirt of every description, which must engender contagion and disease. Mr. Fitch then produced a certificate from two medical officers describing the condition of the houses, and the appre hension that disease must be fostered therein if mea sures were not speedily adopted to prevent it; and he repeated, that the object of the present application was to solicit the Magistrate's interference in compel ling the removal of the whole of the occupants of these tenements. Mr. COTTINGIIAM said that he did not think he possessed such a power, and inquired whether the inmates of the houses had been warned to quit, or had notice to that effect. Mr. Fitch replied, that the landlord of the houses in question was so circumstanced that he had no power over the inmates. They paid no rent, and peremptorily refused to quit, although the houses were in such a ruinous and filthy condition. One of the guardians said that the flooring and woodwork of many of the houses were destroyed, and that before he visited them he had never beheld such a scene of filth and wretchedness ; that the rooms, miserable and destitute of furniture of any kind, were crowded with human beings ; that there were nu privies, and human excrement, as well as other filth, lay scattered over the rooms ; and amongst the people occupying fifteen rooms there were only two flock beds, all the rest lying on the floors of those rooms which had floors, for many of the apartments had no flooring at all, the inmates having torn them up for firewood, and contrived to live in them although in such a state. The stench proceeding from these habitations was of the most dreadful nature, and he was convinced that if the nuisance was permitted much longer to remain, a fever or some other malignant disease would break out and cast death around. lie added that fever did prevail there to a great extent in the sum mer, and that several of the patients were admitted into St. George's Workhouse, but that on recovery they went hack to their old quarters, and that when he visited the houses only a day or two ago he ob served several men and women there with their heads closely shaven, indicating that they had not long re covered from the sickness produced by the filth and stench arising from such habitations. Under such circumstances, and for the purpose, if possible, of the removal of so serious a nuisance, they (the board of guardians) considered it a duty incumbent upon them to apply to his 'Worship, in order that he might avail himself of the power he possessed under the clause in the Act of Parliament, to cause the removal of the whole of the occupiers of those tenements in a neigh bourhood in which this most obnoxious and pernicious accumulation of matter was deposited. He thought the certificate under the hands of the surgeons, as to the condition of the houses, would justify the magi strate in such a step. Mr. COTTINGHAM, having perused the clause pointed out to him, said, that although he was anxious to as sist the gentlemen in the abatement of such a nuisance, which was calculated to be of such serious consequence, particularly now when the cholera was expected to visit this country, yet he did not conceive that the Act referred to authorized him to turn a number of poor persons out of dwellings which they had inhabited probably for a lengthened period ; that they could be proceeded against under the Small Tenements Act, the proper notice to quit at a certain time being given, for he did not wish it to go forth that the poor creatures were all to be turned out at a moment's notice, as some unfortunate people had been in another part of the kingdom. He thought the landlord ought to exercise the power he possessed, it' he still had any interest in the premises, and get them out by legal process. Mr. Fitch said that the inmates of these houses had no legal right to be there at all, as they paid no rent, and the rooms were all destitute of furniture except the two miserable beds already mentioned; that the landlord, although deprived of acting in the matter, was still most anxious for the expulsion of the people, and had given his sanction to the present application ; and if the magistrate permitted a policeman to ac company the parish officers to the locality where the nuisance existed, he had no doubt the inmates would retire from the houses, but otherwise, if an attempt were made to expel them, they would cause a dis turbance, fur they had already manifested feelings of resistance. - Mr. COTTINGHAM said that he would suggest that written notices should be stuck up in the immediate vicinity of the houses, warning the inmates to quit them on a certain day, and setting forth that if they did not comply with it, the orders would be enforced. Mr. Fitch said that he believed not one of the in mates could read writing, and that they would re main in ignorance of the nature of such notice. Mr. COTTINGUIAM—Then the notice ought to be read to them, apprising them that if they did not give up possession, the law would be enforced against them; but under the painful nature of such a case, in turning out a number of poor people from habi tations which they had long occupied, although there was great apprehension of sickness, and mor tality if they remained, he wished that such a course should be adopted as would bear the least sem blance of acting with a degree of harshness towards a number of poor persons who had not the means of obtaining other shelter than those wretched habitations afforded. He added, that he thought it would be ad visable, after the notice was once communicated to the people, to direct some of them to attend at that court on Saturday, and he would then point out to them the serious necessity for their immediate removal from the houses, and that if they did not comply they must then be expelled by force. Mr. Fitch said that some of the inmates were suf fering from sickness at present, owing to the un wholesomeness of the houses, and that the parochial authorities were prepared to admit them into the workhouse, and, in fact, to do every thing in their power to alleviate their condition, and to adopt such other steps as would tend to check contagion, which was likely to take place if the people were permitted to remain there any longer. He then thanked the magistrate, and retired with the gentlemen by whom he was accompanied. WANDSWORTH. Mary Haggersto neand Emma Edmunds, two younsr women, exceedingly well dressed, were charged with refractory conduct in the Wandsworth Union, and wilfully destroying six panes of glass. Mr. H. Knapp, the master of the union, stated that the prisoners returned from Kingston gaol on Tues day last, having been sent to that gaol from this court for misconduct in the house. In the evening they attended prayers in the chapel ,and were dressed in a most unbecoming manner, and conducted the mse l ves with great levity. That morning at breakfast they were very disorderly, and afterwards, when set to work to scrub the floor of the day-room they became very insolent, and Edmunds threw the hearth-stone at one of the women. That morning he took the prisoners before the board of guardians, and they ordered them to be deprived of their meat dinner, to have 8 oz. of bread instead, and be confined in sepa rate apartments. Upon this decision being made known to the prisoners, they made use of the most disgusting language, and positively refused to work. Witness sent for the police, and in their presence they broke six panes of glass. The prisoners had been many times charged at that court with offences committed in the union, and were incorrigible. The prisoners made no defence. Mr. BEADON said, for their conduct in the work house he should sentence them to the full term of 42 days' imprisonment, and they would each pay 2s. da mages, or be committed for a further term of impri sonment for 30 days. Prisoners—We'll stop the 72 days. THE SUN, LONDON, R . R I:13 A Y EVEN LNG, NOVEMBER l2, 1847. MARKET INTELLIGENCE (From S.l7GAit. the_ London To .

ARCHES' COURT, Nov. 11. (Before Sir H. J. FusT . ) THE OFFIC E OF THE JUDGE PROMOTE D BY PARNELL V. CRAIG , C LERK. The Le arne d J UDGE gave his decision in this case to-day, th e arguments i n w hi c h were heard during previous t erms , w h en th e facts, as far as they could be given, were at the time publishe d. It is a course of offices promoted by Mr. G. R. Farnell, as repre sentative of the Bishop of Winchester, against the reverend defendant for various alleged improprieties of conduct as a clergyman, more especially as having committed fornication, &c., with divers female mem bers of his parish. There were other charges also of a general character, which were counterpleaded in some respect, while in others a general negative issue was pleaded. It appeared that upon the charges being ma d e b ur comm i ss i on ers were appointed by the Bishop o f Wi nc h ester t o examine those charges in the month of Ap r il, and they were unanimous. The rural dean p res id e d, th e examination lasted nine days, four d a y s were engage d i n examining witnesses on one side and five days on the other, when an unani mous report, showing a prima facie case, was come to, and that a further inquiry was necessary. In reading the report of the commissioners, he (the Learned Judge) thought there were circumstances in the case which justified these proceedings. There was a large mass of evidence to be considered. and that evidence was very contradictory. It being in the province of the Bishop of Winchester, he could not take cognizance of them, the proceedings were there fore carried on by the Archbishop of Canterbury. There was one thing to be considered, that the reverend defendant, if he had been innocent, would not have thrown impediments in the way of these proceedings, but would have done all in his power to promote the inquiry. Instead of at once receiving the notice, he locked his doors against all service upon him, and when it was placed upon the church door, he tore it down, and placed an offensive letter in its place.

The evidence at the last sitting of the jury, it will be recollected, so far implicated a son of the de ceased, who was present during the inquiry, that [the coroner felt it his duty to order the police to take him into custody. On the same day he was charged before the sitting magistrate at Worship street with having caused the death a f his mother; and, after hearing certain evidence, T r. Hammill remanded the prisoner to await the result of the coroner's inquiry. Yesterdty, the jury having answered to their names, The CORONER said he had received a letter from the son of the deceased, dated from the House of De tention, Clerkenwell, which, with their permission, he would read. The letter ran as follows : " House of Detention, Clerkenwell, Nov. 11. " Sir,—l beg to remind you that the witness Armstrong contradicted herself on oath. When before you she said my sister, the accuser, was drunk, and before the magistrate that she was sober, and added, that she thought my sister's mind is affected. The latter ought to have been examined before I was remanded. " Mr. W. Baker, Coroner, Dolphin, Hackney. (Immediate.)" The CORONER after remarking that in the present state of the inquiry he thought the communication was of no importance, inquired of the summoning officer what witnesses he had in attendance ? The summoning officer said, the sister of the de ceased was the most essential witness present, and he had no doubt she could throw some light on the case. A woman who had slept with deceased on the night she died, and a granddaughter of the deceased who could depose to the fact of her first attack of sickness, were also in attendance. Martha Billing, the woman alluded to as having slept with deceased, was first called. She merely described having been called in to clean the apart ments occupied by deceased jointly with her son and daughters, on the day before she expired. The de ceased was insensible and apparently asleep during the whole of that day, and witness, who had been re quested to pass the night with her, found her dead by her side about half-past three o'clock in the morning. The above were the only material facts deposed to by the witness, but her evidence afforded a painful illustration of the manner in which the deceased and her family lived together. Of the daughters one was single and one married. The latter had been sepa rated from her husband some years, and resided, with her daughter, a child about ten years of age, under the same roof with her mother, sister, and brother. This woman, it appeared, was a confirmed drunkard, and on the night deceased died, such was her disgust ing state of intoxication, that her brother refused her admittance into his house, and she passed the night in the streets. The unmarried sister also appeared to be on the worst possible terms with her brother, and it was upon her accusation that he was given into custody on the charge of having murdered his mother. Frances Johnson, the infant granddaughter of the deceased, was next examined at great length. Al though only ten years of age the child gave her evi dence with a remarkable degree of intelligence ; but beyond the fact of deposing to the deceased's having been first taken ill on Sunday fortnight, after drink ing a glass of gin administered by witness, her evi dence contained nothing of a criminatory character against any individual. The next witness being the unmarried daughter of the deceased, who has charged her brother with the murder, The CORONER suggested that it would be much better to adjourn the inquiry before calling her, inas much as the party charged would have an opportunity of confronting his accuser before the magistrate, which he could not do were they to examine her on the present occasion. It might be that the sister had charged the brother with having caused her mother's death with a view to exculpate herself, and taking all circumstances into consideration, he would prefer that the weight of the proceeding should rest with the magistrate rather than himself. He did not by any means shrink from the performance of his duty, but he thought the course he suggested would be the fairest for all parties. Several of the jury expressed a decided opinion in favour of calling the witness referred to; and The inspector in attendance having remarked that the magistrate had purposely fixed the remand for a day beyond that on which the adjourned inquest was to be held, The CORONER said—Exactly so ; he was fully aware the magistrate had attempted to put the labour ing oar on his shoulder, but he would much rather that he had not done so. If the magistrate refused to examine the sister, of course he would do so, but he thought it would be much better that her evidence should be taken in the presence of the party she accused. A juror said, while he thought it most desirable and proper that the sister should be called, he had no objection to give way if the coroner had any other engagement which would prevent him completing the case that evening. In making this remark, he could not refrain from observing that on a recent occasion where he had been summoned to attend as a juror to inquire into the death of a child who had died from the effects of a broken arm, Mr. Baker, jun., who presided as deputy-coroner, had opened the proceed ings with the following remark :—" Now, gentlemen, be as quick as you can, for I want to be off." He thought such an observation extremely improper, and he protested against it at the time. If, however, the coroner had other cases to attend he had no objection to consent to an adjournment. The CORONER said, he had two other cases to go into, but if the jury insisted on calling the sister he would put them off and proceed with the inquiry. After some further discussion the inquiry was ad journed until Wednesday next, Tuesday being the day fixed for the re-examination at the police-office. The jury appeared very much dissatisfied at the course suggested by the coroner, although they ulti mately acceded to it. ATTACK ON DR. BOWRING, M.P., AND HIS BROTHER. BRIDGEND, NOT. 9.—The capture of the two high waymen who attacked and plundered Dr. Bowring, M.P., and his brother, Mr. Charles Bowring, of 1,000 in notes, gold, and silver, has already been briefly announced. They are both Irishmen, named Richard Mahoney and John Lloyd, and were formerly em ployed at the Llinfi Iron Works, of which Mr. C. Bowring is the resident director. Immediately on the daring attack being made known in the neigh bourhood, all grades turned out to scour the moun tains for the ruffians. Of the large amount stolen, we are happy to state that nearly all has been re covered. 6631. 15s. 10d. was found on the prisoners, and notes to the extent of 1701. were subsequently discovered in the Cwm Nantywyn-wood. Mr. C. Bowring was in the habit of drawing money from the bank every Thursday for the workmen's wages, and it appears that the prisoners made the most deli berate preparations for the robbery, as they had pur chased the pistols on the previous Monday at the shop of a Mr. Moses, in Swansea. They were brought before Viscount Adare and a full bench of magis trates for examination, when the prosecutors deposed as follows : Mr. C. Bowring said—l reside at Bowrington Maesteg, in this county (Glamorganshire), and am an ironmaster. On Thursday I went to Bridgend, nine miles from Bowrington, to get money from the bank to pay the workmen. I t rave ll e d i n a g i g with one horse. It is well known, I believe, that I am in the habit of going to the bank every Thursday for money. I procured 1,0001. from the bank on Thurs day, viz., 570 soverei gns , 200 h a lf- sovere i gns , 601. i n silver, and 2701. in notes. I placed the money in a bag, and then put the b ag i n th e b oo t o f m y g i g . I left Bridgend about half-p as t t we l ve a t noon , accom panied by my brother, Dr. Bowring, M.P. When we were about halt-way to Bowrington, upon going up a slight hill, I saw two men approaching us on the road. When they came close to us they sepa rated, one on each side of the gig; and when we had got within about a yard or two from them, they each presented a holster pistol at us. The prisoners are the two men ; I am certain of it. Lloyd said, " Your money or your life." Mahoney repeated the words. Lloyd then hold the pistol to my breast; it was cocked, and his finger was on the trigger. He afterwards said, " Mr. Bowring, I want your money, not your life." I replied, " I can't— desist—l'll give you the money ;" and I stooped down to reach the bag. As I , stooped, Lloyd said to Mahoney, " Shoot the —. Both pistols were presented the whole time. I opened the boot, and Lloyd pulled the .bag out. I ought to mention that when I stopped Lloyd said, " Give me the two bags. I used to carry the money in two bags, but on the present occasion I only had it in one. After Lloyd got the bag he went on for a couple of yards, and then turned round and shot the horse in the gig in the head. It dropped dead. The prisoners then made off through a field on the west side towards Margelin carrying the bag together. I immediately went to a farmhouse near at hand, made known the robbery, borrowed a horse, ga ll o p e d t o B r id gen d, and gave information. There was a cottage about 50 yard: from the place wh ere we were ro bb e d, a nd within sight. The farmhouse was about 400 yards off. I heard that Mahoney was captured about four o'clock. A number of our workmen and neighbours went across the mountains d ur i ng th e even i ng in pursuit of the prisoners. About eleven o'clock at n ight I went with another party over the mountains to Mar gam. W hen we re ac h e d M argam , I me t a police' officer with Lloyd in custody. We had lanterns and other lights with us, and I immediately recognized Lloyd. I afterwards saw Mahoney in custody at Bridgend, and I identified him. Dr. J. Bowring, M.P., was then examined —r reside in Queen-square, Westminster, London, and am a brother of the last witness. I accompanied him in a gig on Thursday from Bridgend, when we were stopped by the prisoners. (The Doctor then corrobo rated his brother's statement in every particular, and satisfactorily identified the men at the bar as being those who plundered them.) The Hon. Member added, I was astounded at the composure and self possession of the men. I watched their faces and the levels of the pistols, and there was not the slightest appearance of tremor about them. Lloyd shot the horse with much deliberation. Before they got the bag out I pulled out my p u r se w ith th e i n tention o f giving it them, but they took no notice of it. I take this opportunity of e x p ress i ng my s i ncere thanks to theinhabitants of this part of the county for the as sistance they rendered in pursuing and apprehending the prisoners. All classes, high and low, evinced the greatest zeal and alacrity to effect that object. John Jones, a publican at Maesteg, was ne xt sworn. He said, on hearing of the robbery on Thur s day, I went between t wo an d th ree o'clock, w ith several others, over the mountains towards Margate' I was in advance on horseback, the rest were on loot. Near Margam I saw two men walking rather fas t from the wood, I f o ll owe d th em , an d th e y welkn towards Taibach. I passed them and then turned back to meet them. I said, Hold ; you are the rob bers of Dr. Bowring; give up ;" and called for as sistance. The prisoners are the men. Lloyd said , " Hush, or I'll blow your brains out." He plec e l his hand in his pocket, and brought something 001 d don't know what. Lloyd jump e d ove r the hedge 0.. ran towards the moors. He had a bundle 1101' his left arm. Mahoney ran ba c k an d go t e ver a Iv' I followed him over a field, when others came up' and we then surrounded and secured him. Money in gold and silver t o th e amoun t o f 1381. 115. we re found upon him. John Jones, constable, stationed at Taibach, examined—On Thursday night I was watching I° Lloyd on the turnpike road, near a gate leading I.lg from Margam moors. Ab ou t a quarter to 00'1 0 saw a man moving from the gateway. I elv. lce him, and he said he was working on the railwa y' I suspected he wa s th e man I wanted. He s aid was " on the spree," and I a s k e d hi m to go te a public-house. He walked with me a little waYt i w : as he pulled something out o f hi s poc k e t, en" " feeling it, and said he wou ld no t go any fu rther• a was afraid of him, but I co axe d hi m on . We walkeAt together till we reached the Somerset public-hour in Taibach, when he ran away. I came up with hio„ ci the middle of Taiba c h v ill age , an d h e t u rned r 01," ,, and said, " Stand back, or I'll s h oo t you throun e I immediately stru c k hi m w ith m y staff, e. i n i i iisa leant against a wall, wh en I t oo k h o ld o f him. fsu against the wall I heard something like money on the other side. Wri g ht, a policeman, eagl e t h e and took hold of the prisoner, and I got over wall, and under the spot on which Lloyd leant Wile: his hands found a handkerchief with 5151., in . s° „ v reigns and half-s overe i gns , i n it. The prisoner Lloyd is the sam e man . T en sovere i g ns and 5° silver were found on his person. The evidence being complete, the magistrates fully committed both the prisoners for trial at the en suing assizes. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, NOVEMBER 11.
