DEANS, Registrar of Bank Returns. Stamps and Taxes, November 6, 1847. 9,956 27,105 9,659 869 IMPROVEMENTS IN FIRE-ARMS AND CARTRIDGES. We were yesterday favoured with a private view of Dr. Jadgar's improvements in fire-arms and cart ridges. The improvements in question have been submitted to Prince Albert, Lord Fitzroy Somerset, and t select committee of officers, at Woolwich, and a favourable report of the same has been made by those parties to the Master-General of the Ordnance The principal advantages gained by thin invention appear to consist in the following points :—The fire arm is loaded and discharged without making any use of caps or priming, and, as a consequence, all those inconveniences are avoided which have so frequently arisen from the slipping off, or bursting of the caps, and also from the priming being partially spilt or wetted, and the fire-arms can be discharged with speed both by night and by day, as well in cold, rain, or wind, as in dry weather. By the adoption of the principle of placing the cock under the barrel, instead of the old mode, wet and rain have no influence on the lock or on the charge. When the gun or pistol is overcharged it will not be liable to those involuntary discharges which so frequently occ u r ; all possibility of the fire-arms being overloaded is also removed. In consequence of these improvements the act of loading is facilitated and shortened, the partial spilling of the powder is prevented, and the ranks of our gallant army may be recruited from those who, from want of teeth to bite off the end of the cartridges, are at present disqualified from serv ing their Queen and country. The charge may be handled with perfect security, and the kindling of it commences immediately in the chamber of the fire arm. The :shot is thus kindled more speedily and more safely, uniformity at one time as at another, and produces a lesser rebounding against the person who discharges. The handling of such-like fire arms is thus made more simple, easy, and safe than of those now in use. The fire arms can be loaded and discharged eight times and more in one minute. There is also another advantage connected with the invention. Such fire arms can optionally and each time, without the least delay, he turned into percussion cap guns, and, what is of considerable importance, the manufacture of these fire-arms and cartridges is less expensive than that of cap-guns, or guns with flint and steel. In all other respects such fire-arms are like the others now in use. In addition to the above-named advantages, the gun is not subject to the slightest recoil. We dis charged several of the pieces ourselves, and were not able to discover the slightest effect from the discharge, and in consequence of the peculiar nature of the car tridge, there is none of that liability to " fouling" which invariably attends the repeated discharge of ordinary firearms. And, as a matter of considerable importance to amateur sportsmen, we confidently pronounce that there is considerably less danger in the handling of these fire-arms than in those in ordinary use. The mode by which these advantages are brought about are by dispensing entirely with the loose priming and percussion caps ; and the inventor thus does away with priming altogether, thereby reducing gunnery to the two simple operations of loading and firing. The pernicious practice of biting off the ends of the cartridges is entirely unnecessary by the construction of his cartridges of a peculiarly prepared paper, which takes fire as quickly as pow der itself, and burns without any residuum whatever. Every cartridge is made to carry its own priming thus superseding entirely the necessity of the priming. The top, or rather, the powder end of the cartridge, is made to terminate in a small nipple charged with fulminating powder, which drops into a recess formed for it in the breech of the gun, and is entirely protected by a shoulder-piece in front of the recess from the percussive action of the ramrod. In the top of the recess there is an orifice through which the hammer attached to the cock of the gun descends on drawing the trigger, which striking the nipple of the cartridge, causes the instant discharge of the piece. From what we have to-day seen of the actual working of the principle, we have no hesitation in pronouncing the invention to be a most invaluable one. The principle upon which it is founded is a perfectly - sound one, applicable alike to the sportsman of the moors and the infantry and cavalry, whose deadly charges may yet affect the destiny of nations and of the world. ARCHES' COURT, Nov. 11. (Before Sir H. J. FusT.) THE OFFICE OF THE JUDGE PROMOTED BY FARNELL V. CRAIG, CLERIC. _ _ _ The Learned JUDGE gave his decision in this case to-day, the arguments in which were heard during previous terms, when the facts, as far as they could be given, were at the time published. It is a course of offices promoted by Mr. G. R. Parnell, 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 made four comunesioners were appointed by the Bishop of Winchester to examine those charges in the month of April, and they were unanimous. The rural dean presided, the examination lasted nine days, four days were engaged in examining witnesses on one side and five days on the other, when an unani mous report, showing aprinl, n 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 he 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. There appeared a great deal of irrelevant matter in the evidence. This Court is now called on to decide 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. a gentleman a n d a c l er - the proceedin g s i n a • g H y e tn t a h n o , ugi s l i t iot l i v l l d r. C h r a a v i e g, a s met 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 IL 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 artic!es in this case ere 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 lie has conducted himself in a very improper manner, and some punishment must be eduinistered to him. It appears that during the period he has been i n 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 hes 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 250/., in ad dition to the suspension. I declare the parties to have failed in proof of the 4th, sth, Gth, 7th, Bth, and 9th articles, the remainder to have been proved." POLICE INTELLIGENCE. CLERKENWELL. Benjamin Carrington, surgeon, said to be connected with a medical institution, and residing at Holloway, was placed at the bar before Mr. Tyrwhitt, charged by Sarah Morell, an interesting looking girl, fourteen years of age, with having indecently assaulted Mr. Charnock, the barrister, attended on the part of the prisoner, and the case excited great interest, the court being crowded by the prisoner's friends, ecc. The prosecutrix, having been sworn, deposed that she is servant to Mr. Sheldrake, builder, and resides at No. 3, Tranquil-place, Kingsland. She was four teen years of age last September. At about eight o'clock on Wednesday night she was walking by herself near Ball's-pond-road, Islington, on her way home, after having been on an errand, when she saw the prisoner, and asked him, " If you please, can you tell me the time ?" He replied that he did not ex actly know, he thought it was about eight o'clock. She told him the reason she wanted to know was that she wished to look into Maberley Chapel where there was a meeting to be held, and three Chinese men were to be there. He said nothing to that and walked on. He shortly overtook her and laid hold of her hand and assaulted her in an incedent manner. She here entered into the particulars which are not fit to be published. By Mr. Charnock —She left her master's house at seven o'clock to take home her mistress's sister, who is deaf and dumb. The Chinese people were to ad dress the meeting. When she was assau l te d s h e d i d not call out for assistance. Had n o p art i cu l ar reason for first addressing the prisoner. She ran into the chapel for protection. The prisoner was a perfect stranger to her. He followed her into the chapel. The chapel was crowded, and the Chi nese people were and she spoke to a c h o e ld r, . The ch a p e l was way home. Sh e i n f ormed a lady and what had happened w h en she came out. g th ir e l re w . ho T w he as p d r e is a o f n t e h r r s o t u o g od h b a y g si e t n u t a l t e e m d a o n n o h f er The prisoner walked away. She wished him to be taken up. She afterwards saw him walking back wards and forwards, and the lady and gentleman went with her to protect her until she arrived at her , and they a t l eng th father's house. The fafatherimmediately accompani e d o h v e e r r i t n ook pu h r i s m ui , t an of d htleiewpernit with prisoner them willi ng ly t o t h e r station-house. Her father laid hold of his arm and said, " I beg your pardon, sir, for laying hold of your arm, but I want you to go to the station-house." The prisoner said nothing. The witness underwent a long an d most searching examination, and in some instances hesitated and con Mr. H. tradicted herself. Potter, ofabNerole 11, B uc ki ng h am - roa d , wasKingsland, at My Chapel w ith hi s w if e , when the prosecutrix spoke to th em, and stated how she had been assaulted, and point e d out the pr i soner who was passing by. She request e d th e i r protect i on. John Morell, the girls father, of No. 3, Tranquil place, Kingsland, deposed that she returned home almost in a fainting state, and informed him and her mother of what had happened. He went out with her instantly and overtook the prisoner, when he said to him, " You recollect seeing my little girl ?" he replied, " Yes," and he went with them to the station-house. An inspector of the N division said, he was on duty in the station-house. at a quarter past eight o'clock on Wednesday n4.ht, when the prisoner walked into the station before the prosecutrix and her father, and said, " These parties prefer a charge against me, and I wish you to investigate it." On hearing the particulars of the ca se , w i tness f e lt him self bound to take the charge, and admit Mr. Car rington to bail. He was bailed out by Mr. Bowe?, of Valentine-house, Holloway. Mr. Carrington, it appeared, was g. ing to a party at Mr. Bowes's at the time of the alleged tr ansac ti on, and he was i n his direct road to that gentleman's house. Mr. Charnock add resse d t h e b ench, an d sa id that charges of this sort might be very eas ily trumped up from some motive or other, and in such a way that it was difficult or imp oss ibl e to re b ut them. Il e could not divine the motive that a girl of the tender years of the prosecutrix might be actuated by, but the dis•• crepantaes in her evidence, and the i m probability of the alleged con d uct from a gentleman of h is client's character and position in society , committing such an offence, oug h t to weigh with great importance in the consideration of the Court. He was by profession and educati on a gentleman, and a marr i e d man, inca pable of suc h conduct as that attribute d to him. He stood high in his profession, and was known and re spected generally as a moral man. He could not call any witnesses to contradict the girl's evidence, but he would produce M r. B owes, w h o b a il e d him, and other gentlemen o f the highest character and respectability, who consid ere d it impossible that he should be guilty or the charge made against him. The Learned Counsel s a id th at his client pos i t i ve l y denied it. He was going t o a party at Mr. Bowes at the time, and he actually w en t to t h e stat i on -h ouse without being taken by a p o li ceman, and insiste d on a thoroughin vestigation of the matter, and pursued the conduct of a guiltless person. After some further observations as to the improbability of the charge, he submitted that the case ought to be dismissed from the court. Mr. T YRWIIITT, w h o pa id grea t attention to the proceedings, said, that in such a case he woul d not take upon himself to decide. There was abundant evidence to w arran t hi m i n sen ding it before a jury at the sessions, where it would be thoroughly inves tigated ; and it would be more satisfactory cused. lie would require some security for his ap pearance to take his trial at the sessions. He was then ordered to find bail—two sureties in the amount of 201. ea c h , and himself in 401., to ap pear at the sessions to answer the charge. The bail was im me di a t e l y pr o duced, and the pri soner was liberated, when he left the court surrounded by his friends. AMERICAN NEWS. LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY, By the ship Sea, arrived at Liverpool, we have received New York papers of the 19th ult., being three days later than those brought by the last steamer. There were, however, no later accounts from Mexico during the brief interval, and nothing of in terest had occurred in commercial matters of any moment. The more reflecting portion of the Ame rican community continue to entertain sanguine ex pectations of an early peace with Mexico, and the price of stocks is maintained firm, from a confident hope that a considerable advance in prices will follow as a necessary consequence from that event. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. IL This morning their Lordships heard cases of ap• peal from the decisions of Revising Barristers, under the Act for the registration of voters. Mr. GRAY applied, on behalf of the appellants, that the cases 7,8, and 9 might he heard by the Court, notwithstanding that the necessary books and papers had not been delivered four days previous to hearing, as required by the rules of the Court. The CouftT decided that the application could not be entertained. BURTON V. ATFIELD. This was an appeal fro m th e decision of Sir John E. Wilmot, Revising Barrister for the southern divi sion of Northamptonshire, who had retained the name of David Atfield on the register for the parish of Cole Ashby. Mr. IlumPuniEs, who supported the appeal, stated that Mr. Atfield occupied a farm of the value of 501., belonging to Mr. Loveday, in the above pari s h, u p t o Lady-day, 1847, w h en he left it; and that from Michaelmas, 1846, he also occupied another farm be longing to Dr. Walker, which was in the same parish, and of the same value, and which he continued to hold up to the present time, but he had not made a new application to be inserted on the register. The ques tion therefore was, whether the claim already upon the register entitled him to vote ? The Revising Barrister decided that it did, and in support of his de cision cited the case of Bartlett v. Gibbs, in 5 Manning and Grainger, p. 81. Mr. Humphries now said the point for the consideration of their Lordships was, whether a person who sent in a claim as an occupier of land which he then held, but after wards ceased to hold, was entitled to be on the list, although he had sent in no new claim, simply be cause he happened to hold a similar qualification in the same parish. Mr. HavEs submitted, on the other hand, that the construction put upon the Act by the Revising Barrister was correct. The CHIEF JUSTICE said, he did not entertain any doubt either upon the construction of the Act or the reason of the case. The fourth section of the statute expressly provided that when a person who was on a former register did not retain the same qua lification (by which he understood not simply the same legal description of qualification, but the same property in respect of which the qualification was given), that he should send in a new claim. He was, therefore, of opinion that the decision of the Revis ing Barrister was erroneous, and that he ought to have sent in a new .claim. The other judges concurred in the above opinion. The decision was accordingly reversed. SHELDON V. FLETCHER. Mr. Sergeant Byles appeared for the appellant in his case, and Mr. Keating for the respondent. It appeared that the appellant was struck off the list of voters for the borough of Cheltenham by the Barrister, upon an objection made by the respondent, and the present appeal was grounded on the infor mality of that objection. It was simply signed "Joseph Fletcher, 5,. Sherborne-street, and did not state the parish and township in which the street was situated, and it was shown before the Barrister that there were other streets of the same name in other parishes, within seven miles of Cheltenham ; but it was also shown that Cheltenham consisted only of one parish, and that there was no other Sherborne-street in it. The 17th section of 6th Vic., c. 18, enacts that a notice of objection must state the name and place of abode of the party objecting, and also the parish of which he is a voter, and the question was, whether the Act had been satisfied by the description given above. On the part of the appellant, the case of " Woollett v. Davies," 4, Corn. Bench Re ports, p. 115, was referred to, in which it was decided by the Court that an address, described simply as "the Oaks" was not sufficient, without the parish or township being added. Mr. KEATING, for the respondent, submitted that the question as to the sufficiency of the description was entirely one of fact, and that it would depend upon various circumstances which property came under the knowledge of the Revising Barister. The CHIEF JUSTICE was of opinion that the description mght fairly be read as " No. 5, Sher borne-street, Cheltenham," although the word Chel tenham was not added to it, and the objector would fail in having any claim to be heard before the Re vising Barrister, if it meant Sherborne•street in any other town. It appeared to him, therefore, that there was enough on the face of the notice with regard to the description to make it answer all the practical Ch T ie l f ,e J d u e s e t is i purposes of th e s t a t u t e . The oth er j u d ges concured in the opinion of the ion of the Revising Barister was there fore confirmed, and the appeal reversed. , NOVEMBEII 12, 1847. A letter was forwarded to this court containing ss. worth of postage stamps for Mrs. Denny, who was defrauded of lOs. in her endeavour to obtain counsel's assistance for her son, who was left undefended. The writer of the letter requested an acknowledgment of the receipt of the letter, &c., in the newspapers, in the hope that some other party might send her ss. more to make up the sum of which she 'had been de frauded. THAMES. Charles Nicholson, a tall man, described as a car penter, was brought before Mr. Ballantine on re mand, charged with feloniously and burglariously breaking and entering the Ship public-house is High street, Mile-end New-town, on the night of the 21st of August, or early the following morning, and stealing a checque for 71. 55., cash to the amount of about 81, and some property of trifling value, therefrom. It appeared from the evide nce , that on Friday last the prisoner came to the banking-house of Martin, Stone, and Co., in Lombard-street, with the cheque which had been stolen from the house on the night of the burglary. Payment of it was stepped the morn ing the robbery was discovered, and when Nicholson presented it, he was asked how he came by it, and he said he picked it uR in the street. Mr. Cole the cashier at the banking-house, asked him if he had not reflected upon what he was doing, and whether it was not a fraud to appropriate a checque which did not belong to him to his own purposes ? He made no answer and was given into custody. When he was brought before the magistrate on Saturday he persisted that he found the checque. He was re manded in consequence of Mr. John Cruttenden (who kept the Ship when the burglary was committed, and who has since quitted London) not being in'attendance. A letter directed to a place called Dormington, Havvkhurst, Kent, which was stated to be his pre sent residence, was posted on Saturday, but no an swer had been received. It was stated that Mr. Cruttenden was most likely shooting in another part of the country, and after Mr. Ballantine had exa mined Mr. Whitlock, a metal dealer, who paid the cheque .to Mr. Cruttenden, he again remanded the prisoner, and directed Smith, 228 K who has charge of the case, to take a summons and search out Mr. Cruttenden, whose evidence was absolutely necessary to establish the charge of felony. SO (1 TH WARK. 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 ofdilapidated 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 hohses 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. COTTISGUAM 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 no 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. He 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. COTTING RAM, 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, if 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, for 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 theta 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. COTTINGHAM—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 adapted 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 mlgiatrate, and retired with the gentlemen by whom he was accompanied. WANDSWORTH. Mary Haggerstone and Emma Edmunds, two young women, exceedingly well dressed, were charged with refractory conduct in the Wandsworth Union, and wilfully destroying six panes of glass. Mr. 11. 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 themselves 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 apartntents. 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 poliee, 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. 13EADON 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 ALLEGED MATRICIDE AT HACKNEY. _ Yesterday, at two o'clock, Air; Baker, coroner for East Middlesex, and a jury of respectable inhabitants of the parish of Hackney, re-assembled at the Dolphin Tavern, Mare-street, pursuant to adjournment from Monday last, for the purpose of further pursuing the inquiry commenced on the 3d instant, touching the death of Mrs. Frances Sheridan, aged seventy, the widow of an officer in the army, some particulars referring to which have already appeared in this journal. The evidence at the last sitting of the jury, it will he 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 of his mother; and, after hearing certain evidence, Mr. 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 magistr a t e 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 bad 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 nect 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 jourad 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, Nov. 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 travelled in a gig 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 sovereigns, 200 half-sovereigns, 60/. in silver, and 2701. in notes. I placed the money in a hag, and then put the bag in the boot of my gig. I left Bridgend about half-past twelve at noon, accom panied by my brother, Dr. Bowring, M.P. When we were about half-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 held 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 ti e 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 Margam, carrying the bag together. I immediately went to a farmhouse near at hand, made known the robbery, borrowed a horse, galloped to Bridgend, and gave information. There was a cottage about 50 yards from the place where we were robbed, and 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 during the evening in pursuit of the prisoners. About eleven o'clock at night I went with another party over the mountains to Mar gam. When we reached Margam, I met 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. I3owring, M.P., was then examined- 1 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 purse with the intention of giving it them, but they took no notice of it. I take this opportunity of expressing my sincere thanks to the inhabitants 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 Janes, a publican at Maesteg, was next sworn. He said, on hearing of the robbery on Thurs day, I went between two and three o'clock, with several others, over the mountains towards Margam- I was in advance on horseback, the rest were on foot. Near Margam I saw two men walking rather fast from the wood, I followed them, and they walked towards Taibich. 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 placed his hand in his pocket, and brought something out, don't know what. Lloyd jumped over the hedge and ran towards the moors. He had a bundle under his left arm. Mahoney ran back and got ever a wall. I followed him over a field, when others came up, and we then surrounded and secured him. Money in gold and silver to the amount of 1381. 1 is. were found upon him. John Jones, constable, stationed at Taibach, was examined—On Thursday night I was watching for Lloyd on the turnpike road, near a gate leading UP from Margam moors. About a quarter to eleven saw a man moving from the gateway. I spoke to him, and he said he was working on the railway. I suspected he was the man I wanted. He said be was " on the spree," and I asked him to go to a public-house. He walked with me a little way, when he pulled something out of his pocket, and was feeling it, and said he would not go any further. I was afraid of him, but I coaxed him on. We walked together till we reached the Somerset public-house at Taibach, when he ran away. I came up with him in the middle of Taibach village, and he turned round, and said, " Stand back, or I'll s h oo t y ou th ro ugh.' I immediately struck him with my staff, and be leant against a wall, when I took hold of him. When , n against the wall I heard som e thi ng lik e mon ey fa on the other side. Wright, a policeman, came 11 P and took hold of the prisoner, and I got over the wall, and under the spot on which Lloyd leant with his hands found a handkerchief with 5151., in sove reigns and half-sovereigns, in it. The prisoner Lloyd is the same man. Ten sovereigns and some silver were found on his person. The evidence being complete, the magistrates fully committed both the prisoners for trial at the ensuing assizes. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS• LIVERPOOL, NOVEMBER 11.
