THE NEW REFORM BILL. HOW THE QUESTION STANDS, AND HOW IT • SHOULD BE HANDLED. This great subject is already " casting its shadow before." It is beginning to be discussed in all the principal organs of the press : it is gradually taking possession of the activ e m i n d of the country ; and it divides with the Eastern imbroglio the attention and anxiety of the Cabinet. It is to be the grand question—the chosen battle-field—the especial la bour of next session ; and all who are to be actively concerned on it, _wheth er as ag it a t ors or legisla tors, as propounders or opponents, are a l rea d y setting their ideas in order for the work, and fur bishing up their weapons for the contest. A notable change has come over the public mind in reference to the topic of Parliamentary Reform. For many years the interest felt in it had been on the wane. Special circumstances had placed it in abeyance. Other questions had thurst it into the background. The distresses of 1842 ; the tariff reforms which Sir Robert Peel then inaugurated ; the long, exciting, and momentous struggle for free trade ; the Irish famine, with its pregnant horrors, its solemn warnings, and its rich results ; the last dying agony of Protection before it sank into an unhonoured grave, and we " buried our dead out of our sight"--all contributed to shelve for a time a question which had once been of primary and paramount importance: The same result has been assisted by another series of events. The enlargement of the field of enterprise and in dustry, brought about by the liberation. of our commerce from its ancient titan-111101s th,f34fective relief of the overcrowded labour market, consequent upon the unparalleled stream of emigration which for the last three years has been flowing from our shores ; the discoveries of almost fabulous quanti ties of gold, which have at once stimulated and re warded this wholesale exodus; and the unexampled prosperity among the industrious, " dangerous," and discontented classes, which has resulted from the combined action of all these causes, have, natu rally enough, laid to sleep, if not extinguished, " Chartism," and all its cognate fancies, in the minds of those with whom desire for political change and interest in political discussions are al most invariably and exclusively the offspring of social suffering or physical privation. Hence, when, at the beginnin g o f l as t year, Lord John ussell introduced his abo r ti ve and ill-digested proposals of Parliamentary Reform, they excited scarcely more attention than a turnpike or a railway bill. The public at large took no head of their insignificant details, and felt no mortification at their ignomi nious failure. Now, the aspect of the matter is altogether changed. Afresh interest has been given to the subject, and an interest in a great degree of a novel kind. A general election has taken place, at which more corruption is supposed to have pre vailed, as more has assuredly come to light, than on any occasion since the great Reform Act of 1832. Ninety elections have been petitioned against, and thirty-six members have been unseated for cor rupt and illicit practices. Iniquities, which pro bably- had long prevailed, have been unveiled to the astonished and disgusted nation, in hideous nakedness, and with scandalous profusion. An ex perienced election agent on one side has expressed his conviction that no contested seat could be suc= cessfully defended were the secrets of the contest known ; an experienced election agent on the other side has declared that his only wonder is that a petition against the sitting member should ever fail. A Secretary to the Admiralty has been convicted of using the patronage and influence of his office in I the most unblushing way to procure votes for the Government candidate. A Secretary at War—a member of the late Cabinet—was obliged to resign his post in consequence of being detected in a similar, but still more vulgar, misdemeanour, and " W. B." has had a true bill found against him for conspiracy to turn the Derby election by syste matic bribery, and is now, .with his humbler fellow criminals, " out on bail." Every species of corrupt and undue • influence—the most flagrant and the most ingenious —is proved or reported to have been used. Open gifts of money, offers of Government appointments, promises of empty titles, a judicious and tyrannical management of " loans" to poor of embarrassed electors, houses worth 151. let for 101. to submissive and persuadable voters, menaces from employers, menaces from customers, menaces from priests, menaces from landlords--every conceivable obstacle and every conceivable temptation seem to have been brought to bear upon the unhappy con stituclices, to make them flinch from their ap pointed duty and violate their sacred trust. The people of England stand aghast at this enormous apocalypse of sin ; members themselves have got frightened at the danger and sick of the expense ; even veteran politicians shake their heads, and say it is " too bad ;" and the aroused public takes refuge in its usual indefinite resolve that "some thing must be done." What that " something." is to be, no one seems able to point out. • The most experienced statesmen and the most crafty intriguers are most at fault. Those who are new to the subject fancy that a re medy may be easily discovered and promptly ap plied • those who have grown gre y i n fi g hti ng w ith its difficulties are nearly in despair. Every quack is ready with his panacea : every physician who has served his time and taken his degree looks grave before a malady which has baffled so many doctors and resisted so many drugs. Thus much, however, has been gained : the sub ject has assumed a new attitude—has entered a new phase. The "five points" of the Charter have been almost all either merged in, or obscured by, this one great point. The " extension" of the franchise has become a question of very secondary interest to that of its purification. Universal suf frage, "complete" suffrage, household suffra g e, annual Parli amen t s , th e a b o li t i on of a property qualification, the payment of members, equal elec toral districts—all these demands, once the watch words of extreme R e f ormers , have faded into insig nificance, or been lost in the distance, or are swal lowed up by the one absorbing consideration of the prevention of intimidation and corruption. The ballot alone, as bearing on this great object, retains something of its form er p rom i nence ; b ut even t hi s topic stands in a very different position from that which it formerly occupied. The task to which our legislators have to address themselves is very dif ferent now from what it would have been seven or eight year ago ; the immediate object in view is other than it was—the urgent evil to be remedied is no longer the same. Another variation has come over the question. The problem to be solved has changed ; the condi tions of the problem are changed also. Not only do we look at Parliamentary reform from a differ ent point of view, and with a wider scope of vision, but nearly all parties, we think, will approach it in a more candid temper, and with modified opi nions. The clamour of the masses for a general participation in the suffrage—always more or less factitious, except in period s o f severe di s t ress —h as quite subsided ; those among them who still retain their interest in politics are much more anxious for . good government and good laws than for a share in administrative or legislative functions. They feel that, if not fully represented, they are at least heard, considered, attended to, thought for ; they cannot pretend to think they are oppressed ; they cannot regard ; themselves as neglected ; they can not be made to feel that they are over -taxed. All the declamations of their demagogic misrepresen ters and misleaders are powerless to blind them to the fact that, for some years at least, the main business of rich and titled philanthropists has been to .search out their wants and mitigate their grievances ; the main toil of Parliament, to remove burdens from their shoulders and fetters from their limbs. They, therefore, can approach the subject, if not without prejudice, at least without passion. The upper and governing classes, on their side, can approach it without the distortion arising from a timid or a guilty conscience, from the consciousness of having an untenable position to defend, unre dressed wrongs to atone for, orlill-gotten and un merited possessions to disgorge. They can now really and honestly consult for " the public good," without fearing that the public good may be their private loss. They feel that their intentions are truly genbrous and honest ; and they can, there fore, speak plainly and act boldly. They are—in preponderating measure—Liberals and Reformers at heart. At the same time, it cannot be gain said or overlooked that the events of 1848 and the subsequent years have greatly strengthened the conservative spirit among all classes ; many, who before that date coquetted with Democracy, have returned to their earlier and safer love ; a reaction towards the old and the established has become general and manifest, and will be invaluable if it be not carried too far ; while every abuse that has been swept away, every injustice that has been abandoned, every amelioration and purification that has been introduced, has substracted from the ranks of the frondeurs, and added to those of the contended—has cooled the advocates of change, and strengthened the votaries of re sistance and of pause. The present moment, therefore, is on many accounts peculiarly favour.. menoa able m e hpotcterorahorepebarasaeebfebxsulreletil probably , of bfm c se a .he u d ions, candid, wide consideration of a question than which few can be more vital CabinetT uivflidielciwu difficulties views otenisflteatoiocinneuseo,e contend nnna, awst h: believe, tethsemaxr i m aagr a ig n nei y gi tude merits, and as their character demands. There f r wri a o t ill e n d caution of another, and the hampering pledges of a third ; but all these can and must be ' overcome. Our Ministry is at once conservative, liberal, and comprehensive in its structure ; we have a right to expect from it a conservative, libe ml, and comprehensive measure. Th ere are, how ever, three considerations which we are especially anxious to impress upon the Government. First. The subject must• not be approached in a niggard and reluctant spirit. They must not have the air of taking up Parliamentary reform merely to redeem an unlucky and repented promise. They must not frame their measure so as to disturb as little and retain as much as possible. They must not aim at giving general satisfaction by granting a small instalment of each demand. They must not attempt to compound by paying two or three shil lings upon every alleged debt which may be pre sented. Every claim must be strictly scrutinised, and every just claim must be paid in full, and b e v e e t r y haen o d n e le: whollytmh at a nt cannot ee brd There must m hmo ad l however e go et vbere o d clamorousnomust b e stea dily i)3 endeavour, y and no appearance even of a desire to get off by a moderate lowering of the qualification, ,a partial disfranchisement of rotten boroughs, a languid on slaught on corruption. If the ,country is todeel confidence; and the measure is either to earn or to deserve success, it must be made obvious that Ministers have none into the question heartily, zealously, and with a single mind. Secondly. The bill which is to reform the vital organ of the state must be no superficial, scanty, or ill-considered enactment. It must be careful, complete, and statesmanlike. The subject must be looked at as a whole ; the entire apparatus must be revised. Our legislators must not be content with putting in a patch here, scratching out a blot there, oiling a wheel in one place, enlarging an opening in another. They must not dream of merely allow ing a pound or two in the rental franchise, or transferring members from a few villages to a few cities. Such an abortion would cover them with contempt, and overwhelm them with defeat. They must take a wide survey of the whole question ; they must examine how far the House of Com mons has wandered from its original and from its fitting functions ; they must ascertain in what points and in what degree it is not a fair represen tative of the sense and feelings of the nation ; they must discover where injustice is committed, and where danger is incurred ; they must be prepared to estimate at their real insignificant value some of those schemes which have, by a sort of habit, be come the watchwords of democracy, and to drag to light some apparently slight and unthought-of alterations, which may work the mightiest results. Keeping ever in mind that Parliament is a means, and not an end ; bearing unceasingly in view the great purpose of all forms and organs of govern ment—namely, to maintain the rights, to guaran tee the liberties, to secure fair and full attention to the interests of all—they must test every pro posal from without and every suggestion from within, by its fitness to promote the end desired ; they must sacrifice nothing to a fanciful and super ficial symmetry ; they must look beyond the dog matic conclusions of arithmetic, and sternly re fuse to be tyrannised over by the Rule of Three. A shallow and democratic measure would be unpo pular with the country, and would be rejected by the Lords. A timid, tentative, and pettifog ging one would be scouted by the Radicals, and would be felt by every one to be both valueless and disappointing. But a measure which showed a wide grasp and a perfect mastery of the whole question—a measure which, by its sagacious adap tations to the nation's needs, its deep sympathy with the people's feelings, and its profound appre ciation of political dangers and political require ments, proclaimed at once the heart of a just, and the mind of a philosophic, statesman—a measure, in a word, which should be to reform. what Mr, Gladstone s s Budget was to finance, • and more, would override or silence all opposition; and would be carried triumphantly through Parliament by the acclamations of the country. We are firmly convinced that it would be possible—and not even very difficult—to frame an enactment which while putting aside alike the prejudices of the Tory and the watch-words and war-cries of the Radicals, should so approve itself at once to all classes of the community, as a vast and obvious and most pro mising amendment of existing deficiencies and evils, as to command the most signal and almost instan- taneous success. Have we statesmen to frame such a law, and a Cabinet with enough faith and courage to adopt it, as that by which they will stand or fall, live or die—splendidly succeed, or nobly fail ? Thirdly. The new Reform Act should be one that will last. It should either be conclusive and final in itself, or contain within itself the arrange ments for future self-adaptation to the varying wants and claims of a progressive community. We cannot afford to have this question con stantly on the tapis. We cannot afford the loss of time, or the irritation of feeling, or the sense of insecurity, arising from the perpetual discussion of organic changes. We have enough to occupy all our sessions and all our energies for years to come in practical efforts and ad . ministrative improvements, without mooting fun damental questions. Every day spent in dis puting or discourc4inc , upon these is an amendment lost, a benefit delayed. When we consider the numberless matters of foreign policy which press for attention and for settlement ; the vast colonial interests still to be fathomed and provided for; the whole system of criminal jurisprudence requiring to be ventilated and arranged anew ; the sanitary condition of masses of men clamouring for revision and purification; the education of the people still an unsolved perplexity, an unfulfilled duty—we long to get Parliamentary reform for ever out of our way, in order that we may apply ourselves " with all our heart, with all our soul, with all our mind, with all our strength," to the vast pro blem of discontented dependencies and oppressed allies—of infants growing up to inevitable crime— of poisoned bodies - and lost souls—all waiting till we are at leisure from disquisitions on the borough franchise and squabbles about delinquent elector - s. —Morning Chronicle Correspondent. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. SECOND TRIAL OF NE WALL'S RAILWAY BREAK. The second trial trip en the East Lancashire Railway on Monday, for testing the efficiency of this break was more systematically conducted, and its results have been ascertained with greater accuracy. The gentlemen in vited to take part in the experiments were Mr. W. Fair bairn, C.E., Manchester ; Mr. Trevithick, locomotive engineer of the London and North Western line at Crewe ; Mr. Hurst, locomotive engineer on the Lanca shire and Yorkshire line ; Mr. Cawkwell, manager of the Lancashire and Yorkshire ; Mr. Worthington, en gin&er of the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway;_ Mr. Eborall, manager, Mr. Perring , engin eer, Mr. Lees, locomotive superintendent, Mr. Broughton, goods manager; and Mr. Smithett, secretary, of the East Lan cashire Railway ; and Mr. Newell, the patentee. In addition to these gentlemen there were present Rawson, director of the London and North Western Company, and the following members of the board of the East Lancashire :—Mr. T. Dugdale (chairman), Mr. J. Riley (deputy chairman), Mr. W. T. Blacklock, Mr. J. Robinson Kaye, Mr. J. Holt, Mr. W. Fenton, Mr. James Pilkington, M.P., Mr. R. Hopwood (mayor of Blackburn), Mr. W. Leaf, and Mr. Thomas Ashton. A much larger train was used than on the previous occasion, consisting of 10 carriages, besides the locomo tive and tender, eight of which had breaks attached. Length of train 86 yards ; weight, 88 tons, exclusive of passengers. Order of carriages attached to engine and tender : —l. Van with break ; 2, second-class carriage with break ; 3, composite carriage with break ; 4, com posite with break ; 5, second-class carriage with break • 6 and 7, first and second class carriages with break; and 9, two composites each with breaks ; 10, van with break. Of the nature of the apparatus it is only neces sary to repeat that a shafting with connecting rods stretches along over the top of the entire train from the elbow of the engine driver to the hand of the guard behind (with flexible joints and sockets to accommodate' curves, expansions, or contractions of the train), and that it is in the power of either of these, or of any one ser vant on the train, whichever may have the greatest pre sence of mind, on the alarm of danger, to apply the whole of the breaks in a moment. The trial ground ex tended over the 30 miles of rails between Manchester and Blackburn • the experiments being sev en with the new breaks, and two with the old breaks, for the sake of comparison. First Experiment.—On a slight curve on a down incline of 1 in 532, at Within's-lane, between Ratcliffe and Bury, the speeds attained, when the fog s per sl hour—the signal for put ting on breaks exploded, being 3 train was brought to a completeB mile stand in 218 yards. Rails rather slippery, owing to a fog. Second Experiment. —On a level at the station at Bury. Speed 40 miles per hour. Train brought \ up in 100 yar d o j o o ther words, the train ran only 14 yards r PRICE 5De beyond its own length after the signal was given to put on the breaks. Third Experiment.—On a descending gradient of lin 38, down the first part of the Accrington-bank, 21 miles north of Manchester. Speed 40 miles per hour. Train pulled up in 450 yards. Fourth Experiment.—On lower portion of Accrington bank, with a descending gradient of 1 in 40, speed 43 miles per hour. Train brought up in 371 yards. This experiment was regarded as highly satisfactory. The rails were rather slippery, and the weight of the engine was unfavourable to the experiment, the locomotive being a ponderous one, made for a goods train, and not having breakage power to the tender sufficient to stop itself on such an incline, a fact showing how much the engine had dragged at the train after the patent breaks had exerted force enough to - have stopped it, was seen in the draw-bars of most of the foremost Carriages being drawn out from 10 to 20 inches. It WAS a matter of surprise to some of the old servants accustomed to work trains down this bank, that a train at such a speed could be stopped by any possible means. Fifth Experiment.—On the straight and level run at the Blackburn station. SPeed,4B miles per s hour ; rails dry. Train stopped in 172 yards.' To witness the last and following experiments the company had alighted and stood on the station plat form. The train was taken a few miles back each time towards Accrington, in order that a very high speed might be attained. A fog signal on the rails at the middle o f th e station was the notice to apply the breaks. Sixth Experiment.—Speed 40 per miles per hour. Stopped in 138 yards, or about 14 seconds of time. Seventh Experiment. —Speed 56 miles per hour. Stopped in 310 yards. (The actual distance run by this train was 328 yards ; but, a s th e l ast 128 yards were on a decline of 1 in 110, the 18 yards were deducted fcr the sake of a comparison with the previous experiments to allow for extra gravitation.) Eighth Experiment.—For this experiment two of the patent break carriages were taken off, and two other carriages were substituted with the old or ordinary breaks. The train then came into the station at a speed of 42 miles per hour. There were two guards, and each applying abreak, and the driver applying the break to the tender, the stoppage of the train was intrusted to these three. The train went a distance of 663 yards before a stoppage could be effected. Allowing 43 yards for the disadvantage of the slight incline over the last 463 yards, the distance was agreed to be taken at 620. By a calculation made on the spot, it was held that, comparir b , the speed o f thi s t ra i n w ith th e p rev ious one, it ought to have been stopped in 182 yards instead of 683. In other words, the balance in favour of the new break train, as compared with a train having ordinary breaks was the difference between 180 and 620. Ninth Experiment.—Thi s was the last trial made, and it was agreed to try the train with one ordinary break in addition to the enginedriver's break. Speed 40 miles per hour. Stopped in 861 yards ; or, allowing 61 yards for extra gravitation after reaching the incline, the dis tance was taken at 800 yards. Taking this last experiment in comparison with the sixth, we have two trains at equal speed (40 miles), and the one is brought to a stand by a single person with the new apparatus in 138 yards, while the other runs 800 yards before it is stopped by the exertion of two persons the guard and driver. The scientific and practical men present, without exception, expressed themselves highly gratified with the results. Mr. Fairbairn, said, without pledging himself after an inspection such as he had now been afforded to an approval of every detail of the in vention, he would say that, so far as he could see, it was a very succ ess f u l one , an d h e th oug h t i t was likely to lead to a change that was not important to this com pany alone, but to the locomotion of the whole king dom. It had one important feature ; that it could throw the whole weight of compression by the breaks on every carriake and every wheel of the train at once. He did not know if any slight change might be neces sary to prevent the breaking of axles, or torsion (be cause a good deal of careful observation was necessary to determine that) ' - but he look e d u p on th e exper i ment I on the Accri ng t on bank, where a train was brought up on a descending incline of 1 in 40, in such a very short distance, as an extraordinary result. He believed with the ordinary breaks that train could not have been materially arrested, and must have run through the station (a mile below) at a speed of 35 miles per hour. He believed it was an improvement worthy of the atten tion not only of this company, but of every other railway company in the kingdom. The experiments at Blackburn were equally satisfactory, for it was of great importance that they bad now an instrument by which they could bring a train to a state of rest, at the entrance of a station, from a speed of 40 or 50 miles in 300 yards, or in little more than one-third of the space that would be required by the ordinary means. He believed it would be an instrument of great economy, because, to say nothing of preventing loss of life and limb, it would save the destruction of much property, which always took place when there was a collision. Mr. Trevithick spoke very highly of the invention, observing that he had never seen a.train brought up in less than double k - the - distance he had to-day, or even in that. The other gentlemen all added their approving testi mony. It was stated that a train with the new apparatus had been on this line from the 15th Sept., travelling a total of 5,874 miles, and making 2,85 G stoppages, without the machinery once getting deranged or requiring re pair, and that the wheels of the carriages in the 4ime were little worn, while those with the ordinary breaks would have been worn flat in places to an extent re quiring 3-Bths of an inch turning off by the lathe, in diameter to bring them round, or into shape again. The power of the breaks has been known on level line to bring the train to a stand, in spite of the tractile power of the engine with full steam on. Another advantage observed was, that the new apparatus gives perfect com munication between guard and driver, as the break need only be applied in a modified degree to attract the notice of either ; or, if this was not enough, a bell attached would render the communication more complete. It has been suggested that, as there are periodical meetings of all the great railway authorities in London, their at tention should be called to the new agent, and that the train might be sent up the London and North-Western line to enable them to test it. .

Peere Williams Freeman, Esq., who died admiral i of the fleet (1830), and a relative of the late Lord North. This officer entered the navy Jan. 21, 1782, as firs aS i volunteer, on board the Juno frigate, Captain Jame - Montagu ; and on June 20, in the following year, wa tci lass : 4 , .SAia le present, as midshipman, in the action fought between 1 Sir Edw. Hughes and M. de Suffrein off Cuddalore. On his return to England in the spring of 1785, he successively joined the Edgar, 74, and Druid, 32, Cap tains AdaM Duncan and Joseph Ellison, under whom , he served at Portsmouth and in th e Channel until March, 1788. In June, 1790, he became attached to the Salis bury, 50, bearing the flag at Newfoundland of Vice- Admiral Milbank ; and on 17th of the following Novem ber he was promoted to the rank of lieutenant. His suceeedires appointments were-July 16, 1791, and Sept. 1, 1792, to the Drake, sloop, Captain John Doling, and Niger, 32, Captains Richard Goodwin Keats and Robert tfoorsom, both in the Channel-and May 11, 1793, to the Adamant, 50, Captains W. Bentinck, H. d'Esterre Darby, Henry Warre, and William Ilotham, in which ship we find him employed on the West India, New foundland, Lisbon, and North Sea stations. Under the officer last mentioned he was present, as first lieutenant, in the mutiny at the Wore, and in the action off Camper down, Oct. 11, 1797. Being awarded a second promo tal commission, Jan. 2, 1798, he was next, April 13, 1801, invested with the command (which ho retained until posted April 29, 1802) of the Suffisante sloop. His after-appointments were -Oct. 26, 1804, to the ' 'Foudroyant, 80, bearing the flag of Sir T. Graves, off Rochefort, where he continued until February, 1805- and March 25, 1807 ; July 6, 1808 ; and July 21, 1809, to the Ulysses, 44, Intrepid, 64, and Captain, 74, all on the West India station, whither, in the Ulysses, he es corted a fleet of merchantmen. In that ship Captain Nesham also co-operated in the reduction of Marie- Galante, in March, 1803. In the Intrepid lie assist e d, in February, 1809, and was mentioned in t erms of high approbation for ins able support of Commodore Geo. Cockburn, at the capture of Martinique ; where, in com mand with Captain Robt. Barton of a body of about 400 seamen and marines he superintended (prior to the erec tion of batteries, whose fire he soon rendered irresistible) the transport of the heavy cannon, mortars, and howit zers up to Mount Sourier, from the eastern side of Fort Edward, a service, owing to th e ra i ns an d th e d ee p ness of the r oa d s , of the utmost labour and difficulty. On the 15th of the following April, the Intrepid was severely cut up in an engagement with the French frigates Hen riade and Felicit6, under the guns of Fort Matilda, Guadeloupe. In December, 1809, Captain Nesham re turned to England, and paid the Captain off, that ship being found unfit for further service. His last appoint ment was July 22, 1830, to the Melville, 74, in the Mediterranean, where he remained about 12 months. He became a retired rear-admiral Jan. 10, 1837, but was transferred to the active list Aug. 17, 1840 ; Nov. 9, 1846, advanced to the rank of vice -admiral ; and July 30, 1852, to the rank of admiral. The admiral married, first, in 1802, Margaret Anne, youngest daugh ter of the first, sister of the second, and aunt of the presentsecondly, Lo iu r d d. u Graves ly ,l ; and s 33, Elizabeth, (thatla lady youngest dyign in da u l g B h o t B e ) r , Uxbridge, Colonel xhridge Nicholas ,audfirst Ba uuus y i l, u y ef into h t e he of the la Marquis artiaisaf te Earl of Anglesey, K.G., G.C.B.

MANSION-HOUSE.---The Lord Mayor requested that the press would acknowledge his receipt of 191. from M. M. for the poor box. GUILDHALL.--Mary Anne Thompson, Sophia Bar rister, and Sarah Clark were placed at the bar before Alderman Lawrence charged with stealing a Geneva watch and a purse containing 10s. from the person of a gentleman who was described in the police-sheet as "\V. Heness, accountant, 5, Drumm on d- roa d , B lue Anchor-road, Bermondsey." Alderman Lawrence--Where is the prosecutor ? Officer (pointing to a gentleman sitting near the table) —That gentleman is the prosecutor, your worship. The gentleman (in great astonishment)—lt must be a mistake. I know nothing of the case. Alderman Lawrence—Who gave the prisoners into custody ? Officer—That gentleman, your worship. (Laughter.) The gentleman—lt's a singular case of mistaken iden tity, but I have not the slightest knowledge of any of the parties, and I thought it very strange when I entered the outer door of the court, a woman addressed me on the same subject. Alderman Lawrence—Do you think, officer, you might have made any mistake ? Officer—Oh, no, your worship, I am quite sure that was the gentleman who gave the prisoners in charge. Alderman Lawrence—Will you favour us with your name, sir. The gentleman—Certainly. It is Whitehead ; but I should wish the officer to look well at me, for he is cer tainly in error, and I should not like it to go forth that I arnthe party in this case. Alderman Lawrence—Well, that is not the name on the police-sheet, so we will go into the case in the ab sence of the prosecutor. Mr. Knight, of 19, Dorchester-street, New North road, said—The prosecutor is a friend of mine, and is not at all like that gentleman. I was with the prosecu tor last night in a cab, in which the prisoners were also, and my friend lost his purse and his watch. Officer—l received the prisoners in charge in Ludgate bill, and a gentleman whom I believe to be the party present accused them of stealing his purse. I searched the cab, but found nothing, and at the station one of the prisoners ran to the cab door, and the prosecutor imme diately found his watch in the, cab. Alderman Lawrence—Do you still persist in the belief that that gentleman is the prosecutor ? Officer—l do, sir. To the best of my belief, he is the party. The gentleman —Common sense ought to convince you lam not the person you take me for. For if I were, and wished to keep it secret, I should not come into court. Another friend of the absent prosecutor proved-that the officer was labouring under a great mistake ; and Alderman Lawrence then said—As the prosecutor does not think proper to come forward and indentify his own property, it must be taken back to the station, and I shall discharge the prisoners. In tho course of the day the real prosecutor made his appearance, and oertaitily did bear some resemblance to the gentleman who had been placed in such an unplea sant position by the of f icer's mistake. MARLB OROUGH-STREET.—John Gilmore, a pri vate In the Artillery, was charged with having de frauded several licensed victuallers by means of forged billets. The following case was brought forward : Elizabeth Loader, daughter of Jane Loader, licensed victualler, 119, Tottenham-court-road, said the prisoner came to the bar the previous night and offered what ap peared to be a billet for two soldiers, to be billeted in the house for seven nights. The prisoner told her the billet was quite correct. Witness asked the prisoner how much he could get a bed for out of the house. He replied 9d., and witness believing the billet to be genuine, gave him Bs. 4d., which was the presumed charge for two beds at Bd. per bed for seven nights. The prisoner . signed a receipt f or th e m oney on the back of the billet. Police Constable Winckler, 191 F, said th e pr i soner was given into his custody on another charge, and he was then taken to the station-house. The prisoner was remanded. • WORSHIP-STREET. —Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., was summoned for having refused to pay the- sum of 2s. 6d. to Demetrius Parkhurst, cab-driver No. 1,1451, for the hire of his vehicle. Abraham Peacock, the defendant's servant, appeared to answer the summons. Complainant stated that on the 25th ult. he took the 63, Pall wviethhi vehicles servant before him, the Theedefendant booking. . his servant, from his residence, ttliewiSthhoreditch station, in order to catch the defendant, d t a o n twenty minutes, 8 o'clock train.
