LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Sept. 13. (Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE.) IN RE S. PARKER. _ This bankrupt, a ribbon-manufacturer, of Co ventry, now applied to pass his last examination. It appeared by the statement of the solicitor to foe assignees, that the fiat was issued as far back as the year 1839. at which period the bankrupt proceeds A abroad, taking with him some money, which, how ever, was brought back for the benefit of the cred tors. The case had remained silent from 1830 until about one month ago, when, upon the proposition 01 the bankrupt, the creditors assented to a compositio n of 2s. 6d. in the pound, and to have the fiat supei:- seded. The cae now came before the Court in pur suance of an order of the Court of Review, but the great difficulty was as to form, it being proposed that the last examination should be passed without filling a balance-sheet. His HoNoua said that he would not pass an exa mination without a balance-sheet, and would not slake any precedent in a single case. Tile solicitor for the bankrupt said that two divi dends had already been paid, and a balance• sheet was useless His H ONOU R inquired if the bankrupt intended to apply for his certificate ? The solicitor fur the bankrupt replied that he did. His HoNous observed that a balance-sheet must be filed, in order to induce him to say that the bankrupt had made a full and true disclosure. Under all the circumstances, the case must be adjourned fox the balance-sheet to be filed. Adjourned accordingly. IN BE SARAH CRALONEB. This was a meeting for choice of assignees in the case of this bankrupt, who was a milliner, of Charles street, Westbourne-terrace. The debts are about 7001., and assets 1374 The bankrupt was examined at some length, and stated that she had given her daughter money to the extent of about 2001. to buy articles of stock, instead of doing which, it was alleged that she appropriated it to her own use, and expended it in buying opera and other tickets to see Jenny Lind, which she (the daughter) had given away. There was also a dress, which the dmightcr represented to be for a young lady of Portland-pace, but the witness never receiv,-•t anything for it. 1•A value was stated to be 60guineas. His HON OUR adjon-ned the case for further inquiry SURREY SESSIONS. The adjourned quarter sessions for the trial of pri soners commenced yesterday morning, at the Court House, Newington-ca use way, before Thomas Puckle, Esq , and a full bench of magistr..tes. The Cn.USMIN having made some few remarks to the grand jury, relating to the decrease of crime in the county, they were dismissed. John Powell, 30, was indicted for stealing a bay gelding, the property of Thomas Goble, a farmer, at -13etchworth, near Croydon. Mr. Corner appeared for the prosecution, and the prisoner was undefended. It appeared that the prosecutor had been possessed of the horse many years, and on the 23d of July last he turned it into a lawn adjoining his farm to grass. On the same evening he saw the prisoner loitering about, but had no suspicion of his intention. When be went to look for the animal on the following morn ing h, missed it, and instantly gave information to the police. On the 19:h of August he received in formation from Goddard, a constable at Tunbridge, that a horse answering the description of his own was i❑ the prisoner's possession, and on proceeding to the latter place he found his property. When he saw the prisoner, he said tia.t he purchased the animal on Saturday, the 24th of July, at Salithtield. Mr. Goldsmith, a grocer at Tunbridge, said he lent the prisoner a saddle on the morning of the 22d of July. lie said he was going to fetch a gelding from Dorking. Oa the Saturday morning al:er wards he returned to Tunbridge, having in his possession the horse identified by the prosecutor. The prisoner read a rambling defence, asserting that he purchased the horse at Smithfield on the Fri day afternoon, but he did not know from whom he purchased it. The witnesses had all perjured them selves. Prosecutor identified the apparel and jewellery, and some of the property exhibited by the officer, as having been stolen from his premises, from which prisoner had absconded shortly before he was cap tured. A waistcoat was also missed from the shop a few days ag.. The prisoner was committed for trial. WORSHIP-STREET. Two boys, named James Brown and William Oak ley, the former thirteen and the latter only eight years of age, were placed at the bar before Mr. Hammill, charged with having stolen the the sum of 261. in silver money, the property of Mr. Edwin Conway, butcher, in the Flackney•road. It appeared`from :the evidence' tlNC , peSatnrday morning last a canvass bak; containingthe above mentioned amount, was entrusted to the prisoner Brown by the prosecutor, in whose seivice he had been a conFidernble time, with directions to leave it at an adjoining public-house, preparatory to its being subsequently exchanged for gold. The prisoner con veyed it there accordingly, but returned back in a few minutes and asked for its restoration, as it had not been counted correctly. The money was there fore redelivered to him, but as he did not return to his employer's inquiries' were set on foot, and it was then ascertained that he had absconded. Informati of the robbery was given to the police, but he was not met with until the following morning, between five and six o'clock, when a milkman, who had been apprised of the circumstance, saw the two prisoners proceeding in the direction of Cambridge-heath, and, observing that they were watched they started off, but were overtaken and given into custody. On searching the elder prisoner at the station the bag containing 2515. 103. 6d. was found in one of his pockets, and they acknowledged that they had been walking about together all night, and spent the ba lance during their nocturnal rambles. In consequence of the extreme youth of the delin quents, and the greater portion of the money being recovered, the wife of the prosecutor expressed her disinclination to carry the case any further ; but Mr. HAMMILL considered that such a degree of design and artifice had been manifested in the con duct of the elder prisoner that he felt bound to remand him, and should order the younger one to be dis charged. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. William Simkinson, Henry James, and George Knight, were charged before Mr. Arnold, with having stolen some articles of plate from the residence of the Earl of Strafford, No. 44, Lower Grosvenor street. William Jones, D 157, slid, on Saturday week last, about four o'clock in the afternoon, he saw the three prisoners walking together in Cumberland street, looking down the areas of different houses. Suspecting their object was to commit a robbery, witness tollowed them, unperceived, into Lower , ;rosvenor-street, on the way to which the prisoner Knight went down several areas, but, apparently, without meeting with success. When the prisoners came to No. 44, Lower Grosvenor-street, Knight went down the area, the other prisoners keepi,,g watch about two doors off. The prisoner Knight cane out of the area after re maining there about ten minutes, and joined his companions, giving something to the prisoner James.

On Monday evening last, he met her in the street. and persuaded her to accompany him t:, the Star beer-shop, in Webber-street, Blackfriars road, to take some refreshment, and having called for a pint of -ale, he left the house, saying he should be back ab sen i t m fr m o edi mt ate he l .

When she returned to the room, he prevailed upon her to drink off the contents of the glass, which he refused to do himself when she asked him, saving that he would have it out of the pint pot. The landlady, although having witnessed the circumstance, did not interfere until the parties had left the house, and it then occurred to her mind that it might have been s'mne delete: ions powder he had mixed in tti: woman's drink, an d sent a matt after them, who g a v e tlie prisoner into custody. When they arrived at the station-house the woman became ill, and as it was suspected she had taken a poisonous ingredient in the Mr. SECHER said that he should remand the pri soner until Thursday, and that in order to have his wife in attPridance on that day, she must be sent back to prison, unless she found the required securi ties to appear on that day. The wife, however, said it was impossible she could get bail, and she and her husband were therefore conveyed to the county gaol. LAMBETH. Davis Ryland was placed before Mr. Elliott on a charge of improperly obtaining half-a-crown from a young woman named Priscilla Burley. From the statement of Mr. Games, who volunteered his professional services gratuitously to the com plainant, it appeared that on the 10th of last month the complainant had her master at this Court on a sunamona v fgr -assaulting htr.ancl damaging her boxes, when the magistrate convicted Min in the penalt3r, of T 20s. for the one and 7s. for the other. he.eom plainant at the time requested the magistrate to make an order on her master-for the payment of the wages then due to her, and his worship told her that he had not the power to do so, but told her to go to the County Court. She acting on the magistrate's advice, went to the County Court, Denmark-hill, Brixton, on the following day, and applied for a summons against her late master for 1/. 2s. 6d. due to her for wages, when, it appeared, she was handed a piece of printed paper, or plaint, which she was told to fill up. At this time the prisoner introduced himself to the complainant as an officer or authorised agent of the court, and undertook to take out the summons, and, in fact, settle the whole affair for her. The com plainant, under the belief that he was what he repre sented himself to be, an officer of the court, gave him a shilling, all the money she then had, and subse quently paid him eighteenpence more, to take out a summons for the debt. After receiving the latter sum, to raise which the complain ant had to pledge her gown, the prisoner ab sconded from his lodgings ; but the complainant, with much exertion and difficulty, traced out his lodging and urged him to get the case on. He put her off from time to time, by representing he had taken out the summons. She at length applied to Inspector Campbell, at Camberwell station, on the subject, and that officer sent a constable with her to the court to make the necessary inquiries on the subject. On the clerks being applied to, they examined the books and said that no summons had been taken out in the cause, and described the prisoner as one of the " hangers on" about the court, who had no right whatever to inter fere in such matters. The cohiplainatit next acct,m panied the officer to the prisoner's lodgin g s, and on seeing hi m , h e ( t h e prisoner ) d ec l are d i n the officer's presence that he had taken out the summons, up m which sbe gave him into custody. The complainant was here sworn, and corroborated the whole of the preceding statement. Samuel Wight, a constable belonging to the P divi sion, deposed to having heard the prisoner tell the complainant that he had taken out the summons, but after she had given him into custody, he expressed his willingness to give her the half-crown back. Mr. Games was here about to apply to the Magis trate to remand the prisoner, to afford him an oppor tunity of producing some person from the County Court, to show that he was not an officer of that court, nor a person at all authorised to interfere in its proceedings. Upon observing Mr. Jones, who is connected with the court, present, he put the ques tion to him. _ _ Mr. Jones replied that the prisoner was not an offi cer of the court, nor was he recognised as a person who had any right whatever to interfere with its proceedings. Mr F.r.r mi. —What h the charge for a summons rettlrt ITr T quainted with the table of tees, but 'believe the charge is half-a-crown for anything above 20s. Mr. ELLIOT.—What ! Half-a-crown for a sum mons to recover 11. 2s. 6d. ? Mr. Jones—Yes, sir. The prisoner, in reply to the charge, said he re ceived the moneyiin his character as an agent in the court, and finding that he could not take out the said, n summons in time to have the case heard in the pre he sent inonth, or before the middle of October, he was n s gr olic ea it t or,lho hurry v to take at the e it out, as there was plenty o f ti me . County Courts,th a t the clerks here sa id there re fused to make out plaints for persons applying for summonses, on the contrary they they were liable to a heavy e. alt for represented that the consequence was, that persons pny like doing so,. and who called themselves agents, filled the prisoner, They also attended on behalf of up the forms. personsfor r who did not dispute the debts, to require time he (Mr. Hardman) had known sfemepaor them, and b their per tentage and charges, make as much as ' fift y shillings a day at these courts ; indeed, much more y than attorneys practising in them could make. Mr. ELLIOTT remarked, that if this was a specimen of the advantages derivable from the County Courts, and if persons going fur justice were to fall into such hands as those of the prisoner, he could not see it likely to lead to any improvement in the law; such a state of things could never have been contemplated by the Legislature, as allowing the interference of such persons as agents in these Courts. The statute very pro perly prevented persons holding situations in the County Courts, from practising in them ; but by the 55th clause the clerks were directed to write in a book, kept for the purpose, a plaint, stating the name of the party wishing to bring the action, as well as that of the defendant, &c., and their doing otherwise was a complete perversion of the Act. With respect to the prisoner there could he very little doubt of his ierenti in ; hut he (Mr. Elliott) regretted - much it vv,s not in his power to punish him as he deserved. ILO he received from the complainant more than had ~ eeen [ eeceesary to obtain the sun:en:2.ns, -he certainly should have felt it to be his duty to have sent him for trial, but as there might be some doubt about the Augustus Waller, a respectably dressed young man, who refused to give his address, was ! placed at. the ear for final examination on the following charge or robbery, while pretending to be in search of lodgings. From the evidence gone into, it appeared that on the afternoon of Saturday, the 4th instant, between one and two o'clock, the prisoner called at the house of Mr. C. W. Durnford, printer and stationer, High street, Notting-hill, and asked to see the lodgings, the bill of which was in the window. He was answered by Mrs. Durnford, who showed him three furnished rooms, and informed him that the rent was thirteen shillings per week. While the prisoner was inquirirg of Mrs. Durnford, very minutely, as to the accommo dation he was to receive for that rent he suddenly asked her if she would have the kindness to oblige him with a glass of spring water, at which juncture Mr. Durnford had returned home, and entered the room. Mr. Durnford prevented his wife getting the water, and asked the prisoner, who agreed to take the apart ments, for his name and a reference. The prisoner accordingly wrote down, " Mr. John Roberts," as his name, and as his reference, " Mrs. Miley, 5, Quin tam-street, Mile-end-road," and quitted the house, saying he wished to enter the lodgings in two or three days. Mr. Durnford, however, suspected at once that the prisoner's obj?ct was plunder, and de termined on watching his proceedings. He accord ingly f ollowed him unperceived, until he saw him gi# to the house of rs. Spice, No. 4, "slotting-hill ter race, when he looked at a bill in the parlour window, and then knocked at the door. Knowing that Mrs. Spice was a widow-lady, 90 years of age and bed ridden, and also that, if he went to the house, the prisoner would instantly recognise him, Mr. Durn ford looked out for sone other person, and seeing Mr. C.. 1 Barnes, surgeon, of Belle Vue House, Notting- hill, called him to his assistance, and ex plained the c;rcuinstance to him. Mr. Barnes hap pened to be Mrs. Spice's medical attendant, in stantly went to the house. On being admitted he found one of the servants in the front parlour with the prisoner, who was explaining to her that he should each morning require his hoots to have an exquisite polish. Mr. Barnes immediately told the prisoner that he did not believe he wanted any lodging, and ordered him to accompany him into another room. The prisoner did so, and Mr. Barnes then directed him to empty his pockets, on which he pulled out an old-fashioned pair of silver sugar-tongs, and gave them to Mr. Barnes. They were found to have been taken from a drawer of a sideboard in the front parlour, while the servant went up stairs to Mrs. Spice to communicate to her the prisoner's application for the lodging. He was then given into custody. To-day a respectable solicitor, with some members of the prisoner's family from the country, were in at tendance on the prispner'll-41/alf. • . ..The only 'adclitiOMl4ol43nao'attne into was that of Mrs. Spice's servant, who identified-the sugar-tongs as her mistress's property, which she had seen safe in the drawer on Wednesday, the Ist inst., others being in use ; and the policeman who made inquiries re specting the reference given by the prisoner, swore that he could not find either the person or street, although he had searched nearly all Mile-end over. _ ........ The prisoner's solicitor submitted there was no case against his client, inasmuch as there was no positive proof sugar-tongs were Mrs. Spi ce ' s p ro p er ty, or e were in the drawer on th e S a t ur d ay , not tba t t h t a b t e . the h having been seen from the previous Wednesday. Mr. BEADON said he differed in toto from that opinion. He thought that the case had been clearly made out against the Prisoner, whom he must commit for trial: The solicitor trusted the worthy magistrate would not inflict such a disgrace on the family of the pri soner, who were of the highest respectability. He d pleacion account of th e young man hi mse lf , but account of his friend s , an d h e wou ld d raw t h e attention of the worthy magi s t ra t e t o th e 24th id on not section of the Police Courts Act, 2d and 3:1 Victoria, m ay be reaso na bl y suspecte d o f h av i ng cap. 71, by which the magistrate in any case where a pers on unlawfully o b ta i ne d any property, or and who shall not give an accoun t to th e satis faction of such magistrate as to h ow h e came by stolen, the same, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanour, and shall be liable to a penalty of not more than 51., or on the discretion of the magistrate, may be, committed for two months. He therefore submitted that that was a case in Point, and that the magistrate would fine the prisoner. 13Eanosfelt he should not be doing his duty if he did nat commit him to prison, with hard labour for two months. The prisoner was accordingly committed. THet 31 S. A lad named John Llliotl, belonging to the ship Helen, in the London Dock, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing three gallons of brandy. It appeared in evidence that the prisoner was stopped on Saturday evening by a gate-keeper, named Cornwall, leaving the dock, and two bottles, each s containinglhe was a pint anti a half of brandy, were found concealed under his waistcoat. On being questioned he said he took the brandy out of the captain's cabin. He was given over to the custody of Sayre, a dock-constable, and he stated that he effected an entrance to the cabin through the bulk head. Sayre very soon ascertained this statement was false. The bulkhead and the cabin had not been disturbed, hut on searching the prisoner's bed-place, on the larboard side of the half•deck, he found two more bottles of brandy. The prisoner then confessed into the hold, discovered that a hOk-sucß.,2—zfee.r.sliny• had been very recently broached. The officer gauged the cask and took a sample from it, which corre sponded in quality an colour with the brandy in the four bottles. The deficiency in the cask amounted to three gallons. Mr. William Galsworth, the master of the Helen, said the vessel, which belonged to Bristol, where the owners resided, was on the point of sailing. He gave the lad a good character, and said he had been apprenticed three years, and sailed in the ship all that time. If the Magistrate would overlook it be would take the lad to sea again. This was the first time he had heard of any dishonesty on the part of the lad. Mr. YARDLEY said he could not by any possibility look over such a serioas robbery as the prisoner had committed. It was an extremely bad case; and if he was to allow the prisoner to escape without punish ment, he should be holding out an encouragement to crime. In consideration that the ship was going to sail immediately, and that it would be very inconve nient to detain the crptain on shore, he would deal with the case summa t justified, however, He was scarce l y however, in not senditg the case for trial. The of fence was on e p u nisheole by transportat ion. T o p ass it over would be trifling with justice. The object of punishment was t o Teter others from committing felonies. He should !onvict the prisoner of a misde meanour, in having inlawful possession of the two bottles of brandy fount upon him, and impose the full penalty awarded by aw for such an offence, which was two months' imirisoninent and hard labour in the House of Correcton. was sweepi ng - ---- STRAN GE Visrrott.,—On Saturday afternoon, as the ostler of the Que l l's Head Inn, Bishop Auckland , called " a great ug ly fly," which proved to be a very the Prot of the inn, ho f ound what he tiny locust.

He would not justify the *hutting up of the glen ; but he had little doubt that the statements which had appeared in the public prints were one-sided, and, as a matter of course, highly coloured. He moved the previous question. Mr. TURNBULL thought it entirely out of place in the Town Council of Perth setting itself up against the highest nobleman of the county. It was well known that gentlemen had been at great cost and trouble in preserving places for deer forests, and it was nut to be thought that students wandering about whither they would in such localities, could do so without destroying the sport of these gentlemen. Those conversant with the subject knew that the least inroad upon the privacy of the deer sent these ani mals to an entirely different part of the country. It was doubtless a consideration of this kind that made the Duke of Atholl say to the Professor and his young friends what ha ,would not have said in a calmer mood. 174 (Nii:',Turnbull) regretted to see Glen Tilt shut nil; but I,l'o,oought the Council should refrain from meddling: . ,o4 the matter. He seconded Mr. Davidson's motion. S _ _ _ Bailie Dmii:As4 said there was no doubt a heavy grievaUce here, and one that ought to be looked at boldly,[ololaFe. Instead of this being a question whict(Wtitiliqiiiid the jurisdiction of the Council, as some - firlOrkidous speakers had hinted, it was, in his fopiii,loiiii.upon which popular bodies should bestow;ocoliar attention ; and there was no body to whdin ti*pr4etit question applied in a stronger man nei.:',,thisn the Town Council of Perth. It was, in every respect, a local question. Soon the railways at present in the course of construction in:this quarter, would vastly increase the number of tourists to the Highlands, and were they to sit tamely down and see one of their greatest attractions taken from them, and that one, too, to which the community had an inde feasible right from time immemorial ? In his (Bailie Barlas's) opinion; the present attempt of the Duke of Atholl to shut out the public from Glen Tilt was to be attributed to a spirit engendered and fostered by the game-laws ; and he was persuaded that, had no such abomination as these laws existed on the statute-book, the public would never have heard of such an unwarrantable project. But it was impera tively necessary that they should see what could be done in the way of inquiring into the right of the Duke to act as he had done, and to resist him if it was found he had acted illegally. For this purpose it was highly desirable that the Council should com municate immediately with the Association in Edin burgh, with the view of learning the bearings of such a question, Bailie Greig, he thought, deserved the thanks of the community for his movement in the matter, and he had much pleasure in seconding his moti.m. Mr. TURNBULL—You forget the facilities given by the Duke of Atholl to visitors who wish to view his grounds at Duilkeld. Belie BARLAS--The Duke pays himself sweetly for doing so. It was well known that heavy fees were exacted from every one who visited the Dun kein grounds, and that the whole of these fees went into the Duke's pocket. Ile Barlas) was cer tain there was nit another Duke in Scotland did the like. [" These fees, we are informed (sip the Perthshire Advertiser), are as follows :--One person 2s. 6d., two persons 35., and a shilling a-head for any greater number. A. gentleman told us on Monday that he had lately paid 7s. for the privilege accorded to the party with which he was connected."] Mr. SUEDDEN also thought the Council were under obligations to Bailie Greig for having brought this matter forward. Bailie WALLACE did not rise for the purpose of un necessarily prolonging the discussion, but he could say, from good authority, that there were frequent complaints, by strangers, in regard to the stated charges made for viewing the grounds of Dunkeld. It was but the other day an English gentleman so expressed himself to him (Bailie Wallace). Now, ii, 4 ,Lc--ntrrtf)(l o hat ill with the liberality of Sir Wil- Stewart and other pr o p r i e t ors , w b e le u r t e n u st i r in. Fs _.are are Permitted freely to visit their tax should be exacted, because it wouta no umw,,, a certain extent, prevent the influx of strangers, who do so much good by visiting such a beautiful locality. Mr. W. IMRIE did not think the Council was by any means exceeding its duty in taking up this ques tion. Other town councils had done so, and surely they, who were more intimately connected with the subject than any of them, had a perfect right to ques tion the legality of the proceedings. He thought, however, that delay for a month might be attended with advantage, and would enable them to get at both sides of the question. Provost SIDEY agreed in the view taken by Mr. Imrie. Bailie GREIG said the question was one of the simplest nature. It was this—the right of the public to a free passage through Glen Tilt has existed from time immemorial. Shall we, therefore, sit quietly down, and see this right filched from us, and all be cause the Duke of Atholl is desirous of securing quiet quarters for his hares or his deer ? Mr. DAVIDSON (with considerable emphasis, and throwing from him a rather nice-looking silk um brella).—l have no doubt this is altogether a popu larity-hunting movement. Shall we, I ask, set ourselves up as inquisitors of the Duke of Atholl's conduct ? Mr. GREIG.—Most undoubtedly. A man's public con d u o jA public property, and must submit to h. canvassed by the public. As corroborative of what had been stated regarding the conduct of other landed gentlemen, he might mention that the proprietor of Dirleton not only allowed visitors uninterruptedly to view his grounds, but had provided for them a splendid howling-green, with a large supply of bowls, where they might enjoy themselves at tliia extiilerating amusement to their heart's content. SaJme furth..ir Mr. Roes pr:qnised to ha,ve "a full, true}-and par.: ticular account" of the whole transaction ready for tliv Council by fzIN:J»g, if they would refrain from going further with it in the meantime, Mr. LAMOVIT mid he knew the glen ill, and re. The CHAIRMAN briefly summed up the case, and the jury found him Guilty. Goddard, the officer, said that there were other cases agitinst him; had he been acquitted he should have apprehended him again on a si.nilar charge. The CHAIRMAN told the prisoner that it was fortu nate for him the law was altered, as a few years ago his life would have been forfeited. There could not be the least doubt of his guilt, therefore the Court would sentence him to ten years' transportation. Henry Boughton, an old man sixty-one years of age, was indicted for stealing a grey mare, the property of William Mansfield, a farmer at Hannish, in the county of Surrey. The - prosecuto - r said that he had the mare in ques tion in November last, and saw nothing of it until Thursday last, when he was informed that it was in the possession of a farmer named Beacham, at Epsom. The latter -aid that he had known the prisoner several years as a dealer in horses, and purchased the mare of him in November, for eleven guineas. He had no ,idea at the time that the animal was stolen. He p roduced a receipt for the sum he paid the prisoner. Mr. RomNsoN, on behalf of the prisoner, contended that his client purchased the mare in the regular way, but it was so long ago that he could not now tell from whom he purchased it. The CHAIRMAN, in his address to the jury, said that it was clearly proved to be a case of recent possession, and the presumption must be that he had come dis bonestly by the animal. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty. The prisoner was again indicted for stealing a bay mare, the property of George Ash, a farmer at Ash, in the county of Surrey. In the latter he pleaded Guilty. The circumstances of the case were of a similar na ture to the other case, and the Court sentenced him to ten years' transportation. Stephen Cranston, 16, was indicted for breaking into the dwelling house of William Pett, at Ash worth, in the county of Surrey, and stealing a watch, eight half-crowns, and a silk handkerchief. The prosecutor is a farm labourer, and on the 33 instant was at harvest with his family, leaving the cottage securely fastened, and all the property safe. The prisoner was seen lurking about by a lad, and in the evening the prosecutor discovered that the cottage had been forcibly entered, and the property men tioned in the indictment stolen. On the following day the prisoner took the watch to a watchmaker's at Farnham to have it repaired, when he was given into custody. In defence the prisoner said that another lad com mitted the robbery, and gave him the watch and handkerchief. The jury found him Guilty, and the Court sen tenced him to ten years' transportation. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. A man about 30 years of age named Willia m Smith was char ge d w i th having - un ' lawful possesioii of a pair of boots, the property of Mr. Ager, awh - sale boot-manufacturer, i n Greville-street, Hatton garden. John George, a shopman at Mr. Ager's stated that a person came in about six o'clock on Saturday even ing, and wished to try on some Blucher boots. H e was rather difficult to please, and occupied him fur some time before he decided on taking a 6s. pair. While this man was amusing him another person came in, who put a number of tfitling questions, and a suspicion arose in his mind that he was a confede rate with his customer. He therefore took ootiee of the number of pairs of boots lying about. The second man soon left the shop. When the first one paid for the boots witness was obliged to go into a counting house for a minute. After he had left the shop wit ness missed a pair of boots, and in going to the end of the street be saw the two men walking together, and they joined a third (who was the prisoner) at the corner of Hatton-garden. He saw the man who bought cne pair of boots hand two pair to his com panions. The prisoner had an empty bag, and dropped the boots into it. He followed them at a distance as far as Snow-hill, when he saw a policeman. Upon the approach of the officer they separated, and ran in different directions. The prisoner only was secured, he being pursued in preference, as having the stolen property. The prisoner said he was accidentally standing at the corner of Ilatton garden, when he saw a man of whom he had a very slight knowledge, from having met with him, come up, recognised him, promised to treat him with some beer, and said he could make use of the empty bag prisoner happened to have in his hand. Prisoner agreed to permit this, and al lowed him to put two pair of boots into the bag. He was surprised when the officer stopped him, for he had no idea the boots had been stolen. Mr. Alderman MUSGROVE put a few questions to him, in reply to which he said he lived in Pearson street, Bethnal-green, but he declined telling the number, because he was afraid the officers would go there and frighten his mother, who was ill and nervotlA. - de did not icnom the sign of the beer house, nor she name of the street it stood in, but it was in the broad part of Bethnal-green-road. Nor did he know the name of his tall friend who fre quented thittiaou,p. Mr. Alderman :.IInF-r:ftovz remanded the prisoner till Thursday, for ful tiler examination. Ann Herring, the wife of an Irish labourer, living in Sun -court, Golden-lane, who appeared to be about forty years of age, was charged with attempting to poison herself. S a m ue l. Speck, a City policeman, stated that he was called to her lodging and told sh, had taken five pennyworth of laudanum in consequence of having quarrelled with her husband. The woman admitted she had bought the lau - danum in a cup. He took her THE SUN, ilumediately to Mr. Child, the surgeon of the police force, in Fore-street, who used the stomach-pump, and drew the poison off her stomach. He understood they were receiving relief from the parish. Mr. Alderman Musouova perceiving the woman appeared to require further care, remanded her till Wednesday, and directed that her husband should then attend. WESTMINSTER. ale the stomach-pump was put into immediate requi sition, and the fluid contents therein brought away. She was conveyed to Guy's Hospital, and there treated as a patient to whom some drug of a poisonous nature had been administered, and owing to the prompt as sistance rendered in the case, she was considered suffi ciently recovered to attend the following day at this court. On that occasion the prisoner declared that he had no intention of seriously injuring his wife, and that he only threw a small portion of snuff into her ale, to indnce her, as he asserted, to accompany him home, and not return to her lodgings. linen called upon to say where he purchased the snuff he hesi tated, hut at length said it was at a shop in the Waterloo-road. time at which it was absolutely necessary to take out a summons, he should discharge hi.n on his returning the half-crown to the applicant. Inspector Campbell called his worship's attention to the complainant in the case, who, he said, from her being kept so long out of her wages, had been obliged to part with everything she had, and Ni as in the greatest distress. Mr. ELLIOTT kindly ordered her 10s. from the poor. -box and expressed a hope th a t some p u blic no tice would be taken of the case, as he was perfectly certain that the judge who presided in the court could not he aware that such proceedings as then dis- closed existed therein, else he would at once put an end to them. James Cooper was finally examined, charged with having been concerned with two others, named Scully and Potter, since transported for fourteen years fir the offence, with committing a burglar at the house of Mr. Hickman, the King's Head, Knightsbridge, and stealing a large quantity of plate, some money, several articles of wearing apparel, and about 201. worth of cigars. When the prisoner was placed at the bar to-day, his wife, who had also been locked up, owing to her having neglected to attend the second examination, now interceded fur the prisoner, saying that she felt no ill effects from what she had taken, and that, therefore, she did not wish to press any charge against him ; that she was a poor hardworking woman, and that if she was compelled to waste her time in attend• ing those examinations, she would lose her employ ment and be reduced to great distress. Under these circumstances, therefore, she implored the magistrate to set her husband at liberty as she was convinced that, however foolishly he ►night have acted in throw ing a little snuff into her ale, he had no design upon her life. WANDS WORTH. The circumstances of the case are briefly these : At about four o'clock on the morning of the sth of last December Mr. Hickman was awoke by one of his lodgers, who informed him that his house had been robbed; and on prosecutor going down stairs he found that the bar had been broken open, every lock and drawer in it forced, and a large quantity of silver plate, consisting of sauce-ladles, gravy, dessert, and table-spoons, with other articles of silver stolen, with 51., some wearing apparel, and other property. On en examination or the premises, it was evident that the thieves must have concealed themselves in the house previous to its closing on the night before the robbery, and at the time they were disturbed by the lodger :coming down had made their retreat through a window into the back yard, leaving behind them a dark lantern, a jemmy, a very formidable life-pre server, and other house-breaking implements. The men Scully and Potter were apprehended on the following day, and were subsequently convicted of the offence, and transported for 14 years, but Cooper absconded, and was never seen or heard of until a fortnight ago, when he was taken into custody upon the charge. Evidence was given which showed that Potter, Scully, and the prisoner all lodged together shortly before the robbery in a room at 8, Middle-row, Knightsbridge, and were seen in possession of the housebreaking implements left at Mr. H.'s, which were positively identified ; that they afterwards slept for a few nights at Mr. Hickman's, but left three days before the robbery, and that Potter and the prisoner were there late on the night before the rob bery, and were suddenly missed, although not seen to leave the house. It was further proved that Potter and the prisoner occupied an apartment together in Fulham-bridge-yard at the time of the robbery ; that a portion of the , ilver money found upon Po ter was identified by Mr. Hickman, and new clothes were found in the room jointly occupied by them, and that Potter and the prisoner went to the east end of the town on the flay after the robbery, and made some purchases. There were also other trifling links in the chain of evidence against the prisoner. Prisoner did not offer a word in defence, and was fully committed for trial. James Jones, a carman i n th e emp l oy o f M ess r s . Squires, of Kingston, corn and coal merchants, and John Steel, a hostler at the Hope Inn, Lower IVandsworth - road, Battersea, were charged with stealing horses' fodder. Police-constable Webb, 134 V, proved that on Saturday evening, about eight o'clock, he saw the prisoners standing by the side of a waggon and team of three horses, which was drawn up outside the Hope. The prisoner Jones gave Steele a bag, which the latter carried towards the stables, whither wit ness followed. It was then very dark, but he watched him into a stall in which a horse was stand ing, and when he came out again he had no bag. His excuse for being there was that he went to give the horse some water. The witness gave the prisoner into the custody of another officer, and having pro cured a light he searched the stall, and found a sack containing a peck of oats and chaff under the manger. The sack had Mr. Squires' name on it. Steel at first denied knowing anything about the sack, but on Jones, who was in the Hope, admitting that he gave him a little corn, the latter said he had given hay and water to Jones's horse at different times, and thought no harm of accepting a little fodder. Mr. Squires said the prisoner Jones had been with the firm nearly seven years, and had been hitherto supposed a very honest servant. He had no business to have sold or given away any fodder. The prisoners were fully committed for trial at the Central Criminal Court. HAMMERSMITH. Mr. Wagstaff, the police surgeon, described that upon analysing the contents brought away from the complainant's stomach, a portion of strong snuff was discovered, which made it apparent that that was the powder which the prisoner was observed to mix in the ale which he gave her to drink, and it was further confirmed by a witness who attended the examination, and stated that on Monday night last the prisoner walked into his shop and purchased some snuff. The complainant again solicited for her husband's discharge, but the Magistrate said such a request could not be complied with. There was evidence of the deleterious nature of the article mixed in the ale she partook of by her husband, and that it might have produced her death if prompt measures had not been adopted. She, therefore, must be compelled to attend, as she had already shown a strong disinclination to proceed against him. Complainant—l hope your worship won't send me to gaol again. Mr. SECKER--I have no wish to imprison you if you find bail that you will appear, for recollect a war rant was obliged to be issued, to compel you to come forward, and if you are permitted to go at large, you might probably keep out of the way, so that the pri soner might escape from the serious charge on which he has been taken into custody. Prisoner—l hope my wife will be allowed to use her own discretion in the matter; it is hard to make a woman prosecute her husband when she has no wish to do so. _ _ Mr. SECKER said that the offence with which the prisoner was charged was one of a most serious de scription, and although his wife had expressed a strong disinclination to press the charge, still upon public grounds it was compulsory upon her to pro secute. _ _ Prisoner—l should like to be informed of the na ture of the offence with which I am charged; whe ther it is a felony or misdemeanour? Mr. SEcxea replied that the offence came under that of felony. Prisoner—For I wish to be informed on the sub ject, so that I may be prepared to answer it I have been locked up here since the night it occurred, and I have had no means of communicating with my friends as to employing a professional adviser. I shall be in a condition to prove that I never intended to attempt the life of my wife, and that what was done on the occasion was more out of a joke, or a piece of folly, than the thought of depriving hat- of existence. Mr. SECKER—Then do you admit having pur -1 chased the snuff which you were observed to mix in your wife's ale at the shop of the tradesman who has now come forward to prove the fact ? Prisoner —I shall admit nothing ; but if I am to be put upon my trial for this foolish affair, I will show that I never intended my wife harm. LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER l4, 1847. RIGHT OF WAY-THE GLEN TILT AFFAIR. At the last monthly meeting of the Perth Town Council the recent interruption in Glen Tilt was taken up. The following is a report of the proceed ings Bailie Gam, said he had a motion to make con cerning a matter in which both the community of Perth and the public generally were deeply interested. He referred to the attempts making to shut up Glen Tilt, and other roads through the Highland passes, which had long been open to the public. The mem bers of council must all have read in the newspapers of the conduct of the Duke of Atholl to the Professor of Botany from Edinburgh and his pupils, whom he compelled to take a very circuitous route to the inn at Blair. It appeared, also, that the Duke applied to some justices of the peace for warrants to commit the whole party to the Perth gaol, but they had all, very much to their credit, declined to meddle with the matter. He had then applied to several writers in Pitlochrie ' who had also refused to interfere. Bailie Greig had always understood that the public had im memorial usage to pass through the glen. He knew many persons in Perthshire and Inverness-shire who have enjoyed this privilege upwards of forty years. Nor was he aware that the Noble Duke's father or grandfather ever objected to it. In the death of the latter nobleman the county lost one of the best pa triots and benefactors ; for, to love of his country and great good taste of the picturesque, be has rendered the Highlands of Perthshire much and justly celebrated. It might, perhaps, be considered a pity that the pre sent Noble Duke was not successful in sending to gaol these tourists, for an action of damages would have enlightened the public as to the rights of all par ties. It would now be necessary, he presumed, for the society in Edinburgh to inquire into the matter, and, if advised, to raise an action of declaration before the proper court, in which the country will no doubt take a great interest. Before reading the motion he had prepared, he might say that he was sure no body of men had a greater respect for the dignity of the peerage than this council, and he was sure they would be the last to intrude themselves on any nobleman's grounds ; yet, if it can be established, as has now been alleged, that the public have immemorial right of ac cess through Glen Tilt, and that the Duke of Atholl had so acted towards these tourists, he could not do a more serious injury to his order—for the Noble Duke could but ill afford to lose any little popularity he had in this town and county. The Noble Duke must also be told, that while his extensive property has its rights, it has also its obligations. The community of this city, as well as all other large towns, which pour out annually so many tourists to this part of the world, are much interested in this case. He would now move—" That understanding the reports in cir culation of the alleged interruption of his Grace the Duke of Atholl to a number of tourists some days ago in Glen Tilt, the council is of opinion that this conduct of the Noble Duke ought to be brought under the review of the society at Edinburgh for the protection to the public of ancient roads and path ways ; and remit to the Provost's committee to in quire into the same, with instructions to them to cor respond with the said society on the subject, and to report." Bailie WALLACE said he was as much alive to the great injury sought to he inflicted on the public in this case as any one could possibly be. He had tra velled the road referred to over and over again, and had, as often as he did so, admired its grandeur and picture-que beauty. He regretted exceedingly that he Duke of Atholl had seen tit to thr )w impediint nts in the way of the public in their route through Glen Tilt; but he nevertheless doubted whether the coun cil t-houlti come to a vote on the subject, at least for the prt-sent. He thought such a proceeding would be premature. In his opinion, it would be hotter to wait until they saw what steps the Edinburgh Association would take in the matter _ _ . membered, when he was a boy, that there was a public road through Glen Tilt ; but then there were no fewer than sixty tenants in the glen, who had been turned out since to make room for the deer. At that time, which was about sixty years ago, a prohibition Wai issued against all beasts of burden being taken through the glen; but he had never before heard of people being excluded. Mr. THOMAS thought the conduct of the Duke of Atholl in the transaction deserved the reprobation of every patriotic Scotchurin, and would willingly sub scribe to try the question elsewhere—(Bailie Grsig —That's g , ,ing consider,Ny further than I propose) —but in the tileantaie 1:e (iid not thick it prudent that they should move in the matter. A motion was afterwards made that the Council should delay for a month, till they saw what steps were taken by the Edint:urgh Association, and had some further infortinitlon on the subject ; and upon this being put to the vote against Bailie Greig's mo tion, ten voted upon each side, when the Provost gave his casting vote for delay. It is said that there can be no doubt that when the subject again comes forward Bailie Greig's views will be espoused by a large majority of the Council.— IVitness. MILITARY STATIONS. (From the United Service Iltzgazine for September.) MARYLEBOIVE. Charles Frost, a boy about 16 years of age, in the service of Mr. James Somerfield, tailor, residing in Adam-street West, Edgware-road, was placed at the bar before Mr. Long, on the charge of having robbed his employer of wearing apparel, jewellery, &c., to the amount of nearly 151. Williams, 141 - 1 0 , deposed that on the same morning, between six and seven o'clock, as he was on duty in the Uxbridge-road, he met the prisoner, who inquirEd of him the way to Bayswater. He was asked what he had in a bag which he was carrying, and he replied, " only some coats, which are my own ;" at he same time opening the bag, and pulling out four, together with a satin waistcoat, a pair of trousers, and a pair of boots. WitnEss, perceiving that one of the coats were not quite finished, and that the rest of the articles Were nearly new, questioned him further, and as his answers were altogether of an unsatisfac tory nature, he was conveyed to the station-house. lie was there searched, and in addition to the things above enumerated, there was found in his - possession a box, containing five gold pins, some gold rings, and a purse, which had in it a half-sovereign and 9s. 9d. in slyer and copper. He alleged that the jewellery was given to him by his late father. _ . Regimentsand Corps) Ist Life-Guards 2d do ..........

RESPECT FOR THE POORER CLASSES AND THE DECENCIES OF HUMBLE LIFE IN RAILWAY TRAINS.— It clearly appears (from Parliamentary returns of 63 British lines.of railway), that the inferior class carriages, compared with the first class, are really the superior in amount of returns, by nearly double the sum yielded by the first class; and that the second class, of itself alone, here exceeds the first by nearly 300,0001. S ure ly, then, theinferior class passengers are entitled to a little more respect and accommodation than that received oc casionally by those who thus actually contribute millions of sterling money out of their own hard-earned gains. A. poor man complains, in the Times, that the accommo dation and respect represented by the munificent adjunct of a penny, or even a halfpenny, candle, during . the transit of Parliamentary or cheap class trains at night, was denied to a carriage of forty persons of both sexes, paying, in all, at least 161. 3s. 4d. to the company (the South- Eastern), who nevertheless really "could not afford it!" If the object of railway companies be to disgust the poorer classes, and prevent them from presumptuously riding by rail at all, we could help them to a much more effectual scheme than that—a scheme once most effec tually adopted in the evacuatio n of certain other "classes" by a chemical professor in the modern Athens, wo remember, on occasions when the occupants were induced to remain too long in th e voluptuous enjoyment of cheap hut fascinating odours elicited to the course of the pro fessor's experiments in organic, chemistry—and which, way, we would rPcoontu.nd m attractive towards first-class carriages, whilst the professor's sucPedaneum —sulphuretted hydrogen—would EY , found in practice a much more expeditious evacuant of the classes of in ferior or less desirable grades than mere darkness.— The Builder.
