This was an inquiry to assess damag es for a breach of promise of marriage. The defendant had, in the first instance, pleaded that he was not guilty of the breach, but having withdrawn his plea, the present inquiry was required. The damages were laid at 5001. Mr. CROUCH stated the case for the plaintiff, who is a young widow, only 26 years of age, and had held an engagement in a china warehouse at Bath. Defendant is an overseer at Mr. Brettel's, prin• ter, in Rupert-street, Soho. It appeared that the plaintiff had come up to London on a visit to her sister, whose husband was also in Mr. Brettel's em ployment, and there an acquaintance commenced be tween them, and a correspondence was kept up for nearly twelve months. The letters throughout, with the exception of the last, were full of tender and affectionate expressions, and their marriage was spoken of by him as definitely arranged, and he ulti• mately wrote requesting her at once to give notice to quit the service she was in, and to come up to London. This was on the Ist of April, 1846 ; but after she had made her preparations, he first exhibited a coolness by writing to say he could not meet her at the station. She arrived in London, and went to her sister's house, but defendant refused to meet her there, and ultimately wrote a letter, in which he broke off the connexion, and said that he did not love her so as to justify his entering into a matrimonial alliance with her. The defendant had not, in the slightest degree, insinuated anything against the virtue or character of the plaintiff, and the only supposition which could be come to was that he had formed an attachment to another female. He (the Learned Counsel) considered it a most aggra vated case in humble life, and such as would entitle her to ample damages for the injury done to her feel ings, and for the loss of a situation in which she might have still remained comfortable. Evidence was adduced, and some letters put in, which left the promise beyond question ; and it was shown that she had resigned a situation of 401. a year, which would have been increased. Mr. Turner, the plaintiff's brother-in-law, clerk to Mr. Brettel, proved that he had urged defendant ' not to enter into any correspondence without fully considering the matter and consulting his friends, but defendant went down to Bath and kept up the corre spondence till April in this year. Defendant is about forty years of age. Mr. Hick, of Bath, proved that plaintiff left his service to be married to defendant. Mr. BALLANTINE, for the defendant, endeavoured to elicit that defendant was ugly, deformed, and sickly ; but the witness would not agree that such was the . case. Defendant was an intelligent and agreeable young man. It was admitted defendant had written the plaintiff's name in a Bible and Prayer-book " Saffery." Mr. BALLANTINE addressed the jury for the de fendant, and after most distinctly repudiating any intention to impute any impropriety of conduct on the part of the plaintiff, but attributed the refusal to the purest motives, from a consciousness that a mar riage would only bring sorrow and misery, as, in addition to the natural deformity of the defendant, he was suffering under a bad cough, and was also lame ; and his father considered that it would have been nothing short of insanity to marry under such cir cumstances. The Learned Counsel could not con sider the ,plaintiff's feelings could have been much wounded if she had fallen in love in a few days. That defendant had unfairly, improperly, and rashly entered into an engagement s there could be no doubt, but he had no ulterior object than an honourable one, and that, from the circumstances stated, he had with drawn himself, without casting the least blame upon the plaintiff, but having privately and publicly taken the whole upon himself. The UNDER-SHERIFF summed up, and The jury, after a short consultation, gave a verdict for 501. Mr. Green, of Walbrook, was solicitor for the plaintiff. BROWN V. TUB EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY COMPANY. This was a compensation case. The claim was made in respect of some houses in Wheeler-street, which belonged to an infant, and upon some negotia tion a sum had been agreed upon—namely, 1,350/. It was stated that the premises were required for the enlargement of a station. A surveyor was called, who proved the value of the property. The jury, under the direcion of the Learned Under-Sheriff, gave a verdict for 1,3501. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Sept. 8. (Before Mr. Commissioner FoNBLANqus.) IN RE BONNET ♦ND BEALE& These bankrupts were wine merchants, of Knights bridge, and Bonney now applied for his certificate. The trading extended over a period of about eight months, and the debts now amounted to 1,5001. Good debts, 6881. ; and property, 901. Profits, about 700/. ; and expenses, 1,2001. He was supported by Mr. Duncan, and opposed by Mr. Cooke on the ground, that in March and April last, the bankrupts being in difficulties, having been sued by certain creditors, applied to the oppo sing creditor for wines to a considerable amount and discount of some bills of exchange, and having ob tained goods to the extent of 4671., was sued by Lemon Hart and Co., to whom a judge's order was given, and by whom the property was swept away. In 1843, Bonney gave a bill of sale to a creditor for 1,3004 and then, in 1846, entered into partnership with Beales, upon a borrowed capital at an enormous rate of interest. The bankrupt having been examined at some length, and Mr. Duncan heard in an able and lengthened address to the Court upon his behalf, His Hormuz said, I entertain no doubt that the bankrupt Bonney was insolvent as far back as the year 1843, and the strong fact of his having been so is, giving the bill of sale of his furniture, and con tracting debts by borrowing money at the ruinous rate of interest of 10 per cent. Clearly insolvent I believe him to have been when he made this partner ship, and it appears to have been very ill considered upon both sides, for Bonney did not inquire about the presumed capital to be brought in by Beales, and the latter did not look into the accounts of Bonney, whose duty it was to take stock. Respecting certain wines which had been in the docks for fifteen years, not taking them out too meet his difficulties shows me that they were not of great value, and his accounts, which appear well in figures, are fallacious, not being the true facts; and it appears to me that Bonney was either afraid or declined to look his affairs in the face. A man is certainly not to be judged by results; but, when matters are doubtful, results show a great deal. In January he was paying 10, 15, and 20 per cent., which is not objectionable on a pinch; but for years this bankrupt has been paying 10 per cent., and that furnishes me with the strong inference that he was insolvent ; and in March their bills were not paid, and they go to Morgan, who, lam of opinion, let them have goods, supposing that Beales had brought in his capital. Shortly after this, Lemon Hart and Co. get a judge's order, and I regret to say that judge's orders have been made the instance of most abominable frauds by bankrupts, which have also made void the intention of the Legislature, which went against secret warrants of attorney. Looking at all the facts of the cage, the certificate must be sus pended for eighteen months, with protection. Suspended accordingly. IN RE ABEL QUARTERMAN. This bankrupt, who was a tailor of Oxford, now applied to pass his adjourned last examination. Mr. FRASER, for the assignee, said that he did not wish to press any opposition to the bankrupt, but, in duty to the assignees, must object to his now passing, on the ground that certain requisitions had not been fully complied with by the bankrupt. Mr. LAWRANCE (contra) submitted that Quarter man was now entitled to pass ; that he had done all in his power to vouch the account', having kept no cash-book, and that he was an honest man. His HONOUR inquired if an adjournment would b tii r e ke n fi e t ga th ti7v:i the estate bankrupt eksixpence, wasdeclared and being to have ngansw passed d se in d hislasstedexamination Passed accordingly. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (Before the AS SISTALT m J m U o D n G I E). e h s a t v el n d g ayto Lodge Raymond Frankfort, called Lord Frankfurt de Montmorency, surrendered answer an indictment, charging him witti as saulted Robert Hall, on the 4th instant. The prosecutor, who described himself as a porter, at 64, New Bond-street, stated that about a quarter to four o'clock on the evening of the day named in the indictment, he was proceeding along Bond-street on his way home to his lodgings, when suddenly he heard the trampling of feet behind him. He moved on one side to let the person pass, and on turning round, the defendant, without the least provocation, spat in his face, and exclaimed, "flow dare you spit in my face ?" The prosecutor asked his Lordship what he meant by spitting in his face, when his Lord ship dared him to do the same to him. The prose cutor thereupon spat in the defendant's face, but had no sooner done so than his Lordship struck him with his fist several times on the breast ; the prosecutor ran away, but the defendant followed him, and struck him over the head and face with a heavy walking stick, with which he inflicted a severe wound on the right temple. A policeman came up at the moment, when the defendant was given in charge for the assault. The prosecutor denied that he had given Lord Frankfort the sli g ht es t p rovoca ti on i n the firstin stance. The ASSISTANT-JUDGE asked his Lordship what he had to say to this charge ? Ms Lordship, who stood in. the body of the Court, did not reply to the question, but proceeded to con sult Mr. Wilde, the barrister, and not having pre viously instructed Counsel, he was allowed to retire with the Learned Gentleman in question. After the lapse of some time, Mr. Wilde re-entered the Court, to grant the prosecutor an opportunity to ,peak to the defendant ; which having been assented to, Mr. Wilde retired, and shortly afterwards re turned, and said that Lord Frankfort had placed himself entirely in the hands of the Court, to do with him what it might consider right, and he (the Coun sel) was glad to say, that the parties had communi cated, and that the prosecutor was satisfied. The defendant was then fined ls., and discharged. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. John Walters, a clerk to Messrs. Da Silva and Co., patent medicine warehousemen, Bride-lane, was brought before Sir Chapman Marshall, Knt., charged with embezzling money received on account of his employers. The evidence previously given was to the effect that the prisoner had been in the service of Messrs. Da Silva since January, and in July he was told he might call on a customer named Willoughby, for the amount of his bill, but not to press him. The pri soner called, and was immediately paid, but he did not account for the money. A month afterwards he Was asked if the customer had paid, and the prisoner stated that he had not. In a day or two after that the fact of the payment was discovered, and upon examining the prisoner's accounts, and finding' some envelopes among the waste rubbish, it was appre hended his deficiencies would prove numerous, and he was given into custody. Mr. Kearns, the solicitor for the prosecution, now stated that the customers generally had been written to, and it had been ascertained that the prisoner's de ficiencies amounted to 3001. He was prepared, by producing the prisoner 's receipts, to show the pay ment of 56/., and other sums, making a total of 1001. He hoped the Magistrate would dispense with bring ing witnesses from Edinburgh, and other distant places. - Sir CHAPMAN MARSHALL said he could not com mit on other than strict legal proof. The prisoner said he was willing to plead guilty to receiving the three sums Mr. Kearns referred to. Sir C. MARSHALL remarked that though the priso ner-pleaded guilty here, he would at the Old Bailey have the opportunity of pleading not guilty ; and if he should do so he would be acquitted if the proper witnesses were not in attendance. Mr. Kearns stated that he must, in that case, ask an adjournment. The prisoner objected. He was willing to plead guilty to the charge as presented, but he should not do so if he were indicted for embezzling 2001. Why should Mr. Kearns want to go to that extent ? He pleaded guilty as to the 561., the 141., and the other sum, and he objected to being remanded. Sir C. MARSHALL said the complainant required further time to get up his case, and he saw no reason to refuse it. The prisoner was remanded for a week. Mr. Alderman WOOD mentioned that he had re ceived an anonymous letter, complaining of the negli gence of the police as to certain matters. It was his practice to pay no regard to such communications. He believed an anonymous informant seldom spoke the truth, and often sought to cover some malicious motive by the secresy of such informations. If the matter of the letter were true, the writer ought to have the manliness to come forward and state it. Jeremiah Scanlan, a lad, was committed for trial for picking a lady's pocket of her purse, containing about, 21., yesterday, in Fleet-street. Upon being detected he dropped the purse on the ground, and pointed out somebody who happened to be passing, as the thief. There was, however, a witness who saw his hand in troduced into the lady's pocket. Henry Robinson, another lad, was charged with picking a lady's pocket of her purse, containing about 21., on Ludgate-hill. He was remanded in the hope of catching his ac complices in the act. CLERKENWELL. Susan Porter, a fashionably-dressed young woman, was charged by Colonel Robert Batty, of Hampton place, Camden-town, with having sent him threaten ing letters, with intent to extort money. It appeared that for some time past the Colonel had been annoyed by some parties sending him threaten ing letters, to expose him • but not containing the nature of any particular Offence. At length he re ceived another letter of a similar description, signed " Susan Porter," King's-road, Camden-town, when he gave information to Inspector Dodd, F division, who instituted inquiries, and apprehended the prisoner on Saturday last, when she was brought to this court and remanded until this day, in order that further inquiries might be made. Inspector Dodd deposed that in consequence of in formation which he had received from-Colonel Batty, that he had been annoyed by the receipt of letters threatening to expose him, &c., one of which, signed " Susan Porter," being hande d him, he was induced to make inquiries, and subsequently to call at a house in King's-road, a short distance from St. Pancras workhouse. He knocked at the door, which was opened by the prisoner, when he inquired for Mrs. Porter. The prisoner said she was not at home, she had gone to Southampton. Witness then took the letter out of his pocket, and said he had called about that letter, which was dated from that house the day before. She continued to say, " Oh, you come from Colonel Batty. You do not want to see Mrs. Porter; it is Miss Porter you want to see. lam Miss Porter, and that - letter is in my handwriting. That is my name, Susan Porter, at the bottom of the letter. Witness then told her that he must take her in charge, and he brought her to this court. He handed the letter to the Bench, the contents of which we are not acquainted with. Yesterday Colonel Batty, who seemed to be suffer ing under ill health, attended at the court, and was ushered to a seat on the bench. The prisoner was placed at the bar, and a solicitor attended to defend her, he having been allowed inter views with her prior to the examination. He now addressed Mr. Tyrwhitt, and begged to say that he had had 'a interview with the prisoner, who it would appear had been injudiciously , advised by her friends. She now regretted what she had done, and retracted everything contained in the letter, and pleaded for mercy, under a promise that no future an noyance should take place ; and she had written a letter to that effect, which he now handed in. The letter was delivered to Col. Batty, who perused it, and then read it aloud. It was to the purport of the solicitor's statement, who said he was willing to sign and attest it. Colonel Batty, rising said he came them with the intention to prosecute the prisoner, although he was suffering from ill health, under tic dolereux, and far from being in a fit state to do so ; but after reading the letter produced, and in consequence of the Fri. Boner's youth, and his state of health, he was induced to forego further proceedings, but upon the under standing that if ever anything of the sort should be repeated in future, he should most certainly prosecute to the utmost rigour of the law. Mr. TYRWHITT said that parties must be fully aware of the serious consequences attendant on sending letters containing threats of an infamous kind to in jure the reputation of others. Ho (the Colonel) must be aware of such tendency, and had he carefully con sidered the matter, and if he had done so, what were the principal grounds upon which he would forego a prosecution ? Colonel Batty—The prisoner's youth, her retrac• tation of any malicious motive, and the state of my health. Mr. TYRWHITT said that many slight cases were brought before that court, in which they were . glad when parties did not press a prosecution, but in a case of this kind he hesitated much as to whether he should be strictly performing his duty in permitting such a course. Punishment would be the result of a prosecution, and as far as he was personally con cerned, he could have no desire for such a result, or no objection under the circumstances to discharge the prisoner, but he did hope he would not be doing wrong in acceding to her discharge, in the hope that she (the prisoner) would avoid anything of the kind in future. Solicitor—What she has stated in ber letter of re tractation and promise she sincerely feels and means, I do assure you. Colonel Batty—Then I am satisfied. Mr. Tynwnrrr remonstrated mildly with her, and then discharged her, when she left the court with her solicitor and friends, who appeared to be respectable and the Colonel and his son left by the magistrates' entrance. Richard Neil, a watchman, employed by the di rectors of the Imperial Gaslight and Coke Company, John-street, Bedford-row, St. Andrew's, Holborn, was placed at the bar, charged with stealing 401bs. of lead, the property of the company. It appeared that on Wednesday night, about ten o clock, the prisoner took the property to a marine store dealer's in Somers Town, and offered it for sale, but the owner refused to buy it, suspecting that it was stolen, and he gave information to Etheredge, of the E division, who followed him and took him into custody, with the property in his possession. The superintendent to the company attended, and said of late robberies of the kind had been committed, but they did not know whom to suspect. The prisoner denied stealing the lead, but he was fully committed for trial. _ WESTMINSTER. Charles Newel, a youth, about 17 years of age, was charged with endangering the public in the fol lowing shameful manner : Lieutenant Tracey, Governor of Tothill-fields House of Correction, Westminster, said that at about half-past six, on the previous evening, he was near Wel low-straet, Vntahali-bridge-road, when he observed EVENING, SEPTEMBER 10, 1847. number of persons running right and left, followed by a horse and cart driven — by — the defendant at a very furious rate. Although the horse was going at the very top of his speed, defendant was flogging him most unmercifully with a heavy whip, and it was a miracle that half a dozen people were not killed or se riously injured by defendant's gross misconduct. Com plainant called after defendant to stop, but he did not until he followed towards him. Complainant then inquired where he lived, and, on his replying, in the neighbourhood, said he would accompany him home. Defendant then suddenly commenced flogging his horse as before, and went away at full speed. Com plainant followed, and seeing two constables, told them what had occurred, and pointed defendant out, when they followed and apprehended him. Inde pendently of the danger to the public by the furious driving, the defendant was accompanied by a large, ferocious dog, who was attacking the people on the right and left, and amongst them complainant, who, however, contrived to keep him at bay with his stick. The constable who took the defendant into custody said that he had to stop him by main force, and that the dog repeatedly jumped up, and endeavoured to seize his hand or the horse's head. Mr. Donogan, an inspector of the B division, said that a person, Who was not now in attendance, came to the station on the previous evening, and complained of having been attacked by - the dog. The animal had torn one of the skirts of his coat completely off. Defendant, in answer to the charge, said "his horse was very anxious to get home," and he tried to pull him up. The master of defendant stood forward and said that he had been in his service twelve months, and he never was complained of during that time for im proper driving. Mr. BURRELL said it was a very bad case, and or dered defendant to pay 20a., or be committed for 14 days, for the furious driving, and a further penalty of 55., or 14 days, for suffering an unmuzzled Newfound land dog to be at large.— The fines were paid. Joh u Dooley, a journeyman bricklayer, was charged with violently assaulting Mr. Edward Taylor, the proprietor of the Thistle and Crown, Great Peter street, Westminster. Defendant went into the complainant's house on the previous night and flourishing a bricklayer's trowel about, swore he would cut off a woman's head. He then made a blow with the trowel at a woman who was near him, but she fortunately avoided it by stepping on one side, and the trowel cut a piece out of the door. Complainant then interfered, when the defendant struck him with the trowel upon the fore head. Complainant then knocked him down, and took the trowel from him and gave him into custody. In answer to an inquiry from the MAGISTRATE, Mr. Taylor said he was not seriously hurt by the blow. It, however, gave him a deep cut in the forehead, from which he bled very freely. He struck defendant two or three times. Mr. BURRELL ordered defendant to pay a penalty of 405., and in default committed him for a month. MARLBOROUGH-S7'REET. Thomas Cooper and Elias Pooie, two journeymen boot and shoe-makers, were charged with robbing their employer, Mr. John Simpson, Tottenhatn-court- road. It appeared that some suspicion was entertained by Mr. Simpson, and Police-constable:Hughes, E 114, was employed to watch the movements of the pri soners. The constable, on Wednesday evening, saw Cooper leave his master's shop, and go to the door of a public-house, where Poole came out to him. Cooper went back, and again came out, and gave something to Poole. Cooper then returned to the shop, and about ten o'clock he came out again and went into the public-house, and gave Poole something, which Poole put in a bag. The prisoners went away together, and witness followed. The prisoners were about to separate, when witness went up to Poole and asked him what he had in the bag. Cooper then ran off, and Poole said to witness he supposed that witness knew all about it. Witness afterwards apprehended Cooper at his lodgings, and found there a duplicate fora pair of boots, which were afterwards identified by Mr. Simpson. Witness afterwards made inquiries, and discovered a quantity of boots and shoes at different pawnbrokers. Mr. Simpson stated, that Cooper had been six months in his service, and Poole two years. The 16 pairs of boots and seven pairs of shoes now produced were his property. A great deal more propery had been stolen, some of which had been recovered. Five or six pawnbrokers produced boots arid shoes, which had principally been pledged by Poole. The prisoners declined to make any defence, and were fully committed. WORSHIP-STREET. Anne Smith, a well-dressed woman, of diminutive stature, was placed at the bar before Mr. Arnold, charged with having stolen a cash-box, containg up wards of 1001., in bank notes and gold, and also vari ous articles of plate, jewellery, and other property, from the dwelling-house of Mr. Thomas Furley, a tea-dealer, at Upper Clapton. The prosecutor stated that, after seeing that his premises were properly secured on the preceding night, he retired to rest with his family, and without having been in the slightest degree disturbed during the night, was awoke between six and seven the next morning, according to his directions, to deliver his keys to his shopman, when he observed that his cash box, containing the above sum, remained safe on the top of a chest of drawers, where he had previously deposited it. He then returned to bed, and almost immediately afterwards, hearing some one stealthily open the room, whom he supposed to be the maid servant, he asked her what she wanted, and was an swered in a female voice that she had only come for .the rushlight. The door was then closed, and in a few minutes he was alarmed by the hasty entrance of his daughter, who, in a great consternation, informed him that during the night her bed-room had been ransacked by thieves, who had not only opened her drawers and taken away numerous articles of jewel lery, but actually stole her watch from the head of the bed upon which she was lying. She farther stated, that she had some recollection of having heard footsteps upon the stairs before daybreak, and seeing the reflection of a light beneath her door, but took no notice of either, as she imagined it was her mother going up stairs to visit the children. Upon receiving this information he started up, and after looking for the cash-box, which he had so recently seen safe, found that it had disappeared. He immediately ran down stairs and alarmed his servants, and in about twenty minutes afterwards was apprised that the pri soner was in custody. Emma Piper, the prosecutor's housemaid, stated that upon coming down stairs that morning, a few minutes before the alarm was raised, she found the prisoner in the passage, and upon demanding her business, she said she had just been up stairs to see Mrs. Furley, who had desired her to wait there for her. Witness then proceeded to open the parlour shutters, and while doing so, her mistress hastened down, exclaiming that the cash-box was stolen, and it was then found that the prisoner had disappeared. Two shopmen were sent after her, in different direc tions, and witness ran into the back garden, and dis covered near the gate, which was open, a large clothes basket, completely filled with provisions, knives and forks, silver spoons, table and other liner., and nume rous other articles, which had been purloined from the lower part of the house. Edward Payne, one of the shopmen deposed to having overtaken the prisoner at a short distance from the premises, and observing his master's cash-box protruding from beneath her shawl, expressed his in tention to give her into custody, when the prisoner took to her heels, and turning into a nursery, secreted herself in a water-closet, the door of which she secured. A policeman came up at the moment, who forced the door, but the prisoner had, in the mean time, got rid of the cash•box, which was subsequently found secreted in the place, and she was conveyed to the station. Inspector Waller and Sergeant Hawke produced a gold chain, brooch, locket, and numerous other trin kets, which the prisoner had in her possession, upon being searched at the station-house, and the prosecu tor's daughter identified as her property. Upon being asked if she wished to say anything, the prisoner declined doing so, and the Magistrate ordered her to be remanded for the completion of the evidence. his life—therefore you were bound to attend. It appears that the case is adjourned till Monday next, and as you seem unwilling to appear against your husband, I must require you to find bail for your at tendance on that day. In default of the required sureties she was com mitted to gaol. William Taylor was brought up for re-examina tion, charged with stealing fifteen pocket handker chiefs from the shop of Mr. Farey, hosier, Newing ton-causeway. Elizabeth Potter, a young woman in Mr. Farey's employ, said that on Saturday morning last, shortly after eleven o'clock, the prisoner crept stealthily into the shop and snatched a quantity of silk handker chiefs from a bundle, with which he ran out. She ran to the door and called " Stop thief!" when he was stoppod with the property in his possession. Joseph Jones, a market-gardener, said that he saw the prisoner running from Mr. Farey's shop, and hearing last witness call out " Stop thief !" he stopped him until a constable came up, when he was taken into custody. The property was found on him, and identified by the prosecutor. The prisoner, who made no defence, was com mitted for trial. John Smith, a young man about 17, was charged with stealing a tubular boiler, belonging to a steam engine, the property of Messrs. Cater, boiler-makers, Great Guihiford•street, Southwark. John Farmer, carman in the prosecutors' employ, said that about eight. o'clock on the previous evening, while he was proceeding to the stables, he saw the prisoner enter the yard and go towards the place where several tubular boilers were lying. He looked about him for a few minutes, when, believing he was not observed, he took up the boiler and was walking out of the yard. when witness went up and secured him until the arrival of a police-constable, when he was given into custody. In answer to the charge, the prisoner said that he did not go into the yard with the intention of stealing anything, but seeing the boiler lay in the path, he took it up to place it out of the way, when he was collared by the witness. Mr. SECKBIL said he should commit him for trial, where he would have an opportunity of telling his story to a jury. SOUTHWARK. Elizabeth Marshall, the woman who charged her husband with administering a poisonous drug to her in some ale, on Monday night last, was brought before Mr. Seeker, on a warrant, by Police-constable 42 L, she having neglected to attend the adjourned exami nation on the previous day. Since the examination on Tuesday, the charge has assumed a more serious aspect against the prisoner's husband, as the contents of the stomach had been analyzed ; and Mr. Wagstaff, who was in attendance, intormed Mr. Seeker that the drug administered to her proved to be tobacco, and a large quantity, in a ground state, was discovered. He further stated, that a quarter of an ounce of tobacco, infused in a pint of liquid, would be sufficient to destroy three full-grown persons. He was also of opinion that, had not the stotnach-pump been used so scion, nothing could have saved her lif e . _ _ Mr. Edwin (the chief clerk) stated the nature of the case to Mr. Seeker, a n d sa id, th a t h e b e li ev ed the prisoner did not wish to give evidence, and that was the reason of her neglecting to attend the re-examin ation. She had b een m i racu l ous l y save d f ro m being poisoned, and acknowledged before Mr. Cottingham, that her husband had threatened to do for her. Con sequently Mr. Cottinghain considered it his duty to cause the female to be apprehended on a warrant. Mr. SECKER (to prisoner)—Why did you not attend on Wednesday ? Prisoner—l could not, your Worship, for I was at work at No. 9, Charlotte-street, Blackfria!s-road. Mr. SECLER-But this was of great importance, more so than your work. The charge against your 141bAild is of such a serious nature that it may affect LAMBETH. Mr. John Hinchley, Duke-street, Westminster road, appeared before Mr. Elliott, to show cause why an order should not he made by the magistrate to compel him to deliver up seven chandeliers, of the value of 151., which it was alleged he had illegally detained. Mr. Wooley, from the oflic• of Mr. Sermon, soli citor to Mrs. Crockford, attended on behalf of the complainant, and Mr. Lewis appeared for the de fendant. From the evidence it appeared that Mr. Fleming, a broker, had levied a distress for rent, on behalf of Mrs. Sarah Frances Crockford, into the well-known club-house, in St. James's-street, and which has lat terly been called the St. James's Assembly-rooms, and while the man was in possession, Mr. Hinckley succeeded in removing seven chandeliers from one of the grand saloons. The present proceedings were therefore taken to compel him to restore the property, or to pay its value, 151. Mr. Lewis urged various legal objections against the proceedings. In the first place, he wished to take the Magistrate's opinion as to whether or not the fifth clause of the County Courts Bill did not destroy his jurisdiction in such cases as the present. In the next place, he should be able to show that the property in question was over the value of thirty pounds, or double that over which his Worship had jurisdiction. In the third place, he contended that the instructions to the broker, to distrain or levy, were informal, inasmuch as it was seized by Mr. Sermon, and not by Mrs. Crockford. And in the fourth place, he was in a condition to show that the property in dispute was the boni 1 fide property of Mr. Hinckley, and had been merely let out on hire to the late occupiers of the club-house or assembly-rooms. Mr. ELLIOTT, in reply to the objections urged, said it was his opinion that the County Courts Bill did not alter the jurisdiction of the maigstrates—that it had been sworn to that the value of the property did not exceed fifteen pounds, and that the defendant had no right to take away the property while under legal seizure for rent. There were some points of the case which required further evidence ; and as Mr. Lewis requested it, he should adjourn the case to a future day. Considerable laughter was created during the hear ing of a case, in which John Lloyd, an engine-driver on board one of the Chelsea steam-boats, was sum moned for wilfully damaging a room which he oc cupied in the house of Mr. Batchelor, a furniture broker, in St. George's-row, near the Elephant and Castle. _ _ Mr. Batchelor deposed that on Saturday morning last, the defendant, who had lived for some time at his house, removed from there, and on examining the apartment which he occupied, witness was utterly annoyed at the scene which presented itself. The house being old fashioned, the walls in the rooms were fitted with panelling, and on each of these panels a highly grotesque figure was drawn. The ceiling was also ornamented. The witness then left the Court, and in a few moments returned with one of the panels, which he had removed from the wall, which bore a drawing in the cartoon style, of a huge, ill-shapen, terrific-countenanced man. The exhibi tion was so truly ludicrous, that it was impossible to look at it without being provoked to the most exces sive laughter, and so it affected every one in the Court. Mr. ELLIOTT—What proof have you that it was the defendant who has caused this damage ? Bat chelor—Because, your Worship, there was no person there to do it but himself. Besides, your Worship, they must have been done by an artist, and his wife has acknowledged to me that the defendant is an engineer and draftsman.—(Laughter.) Mr. King, a painter, was here called, and said that the cartoons on the panellings were drawn with a composition of lamp black and grease, and the or namental work on the ceiling by the smear or smoke from a candle, and it would cost at least twenty shillings to put the room into tenantable order. , The defendant denied being the artist on the occa sion ; but his denial was given in such a way as to leave no doubt on the minds of all present that the contrary was the fact, and the Magistrate, therefore, ordered him to pay twenty shillings, the amount of the injury and the expense of the arrest, or in default to stand committed to prison for twenty days. HAMMERSMITH. Christopher Charles Thurston, a well-dressed man, formerly a conductor in the service of the Hammer smith Conveyance Company, was charged on suspicion of having been concerned in stealing, on the 3d inst., from the premises of Mr. William Redkeson, the Sussex Arms Tavern, Broadway, Hammersmith, Bank of England notes to the value of 1001., and a cheque on the banking-house of Messrs. Drewett and Fowler for 12/. 3s. Bd. Policeman Low, T 50, deposed that from informa tion he had received that morning, between 7 and 8 o'clock, he apprehended the prisoner on the above charge, and he had every reason to believe, that if the prisoner was remanded for a few days, he should be able to produce highly important evidence in the case. By the prisoner—The prisoner, when witness ap prehended him, was at the Sussex Arms, where the robbery was committed. The prisoner said he had gone there to have an explanation. Inspector Morgan, T division, informed the magis trate that he had other evidence in Court against the prisoner, hut he did not consider it advisable to bring it forward on that occasion, as he saw persons then in Court who would most probably take advantage of it. The prisoner said he hoped he should not be re manded without sufficient evidence being gone into to warrant the magistrate in doing so. He had unfor tunately no counsel in attendance on his behalf, and he therefore wished the magistrate would act for him instead. Mr. BEADoN inquired if the prisoner was known to have been ever in custody before on a charge of felony? Inspector Morgan replied that he was not aware that he had ever been so. Mr. BEADON then decided on going into further evidence before he remanded him. Joseph Gardiner deposed that he lived at No. 11, Ely-street, Percy-street, Kingsland-road, and was a porter, working occasionally at Birch's, the confec tioner, in Cornhill. The prisoner resembles a man who came to witness in Cornhill on Friday last, the 3d inst., with a cheque for 121. 33. Bd. He asked witness if he was a porter, to which he replied " yes." He then asked witness if he knew the banking house of Messrs. Drewett and Fowler, and what his charge would be to go there. Witness told him that he knew the banking-house, and his charge would be sixpence. The prisoner then gave witness the cheque, and told him to go to the banking-house and get it cashed, saying he had to be at the Cross Keys Inn, Aldersgate-street, at half-past two o'clock, and as it only wanted a minute to it, witness was to to bring the money to him there. Witness took the cheque, and went to Messrs. Drewett and Fowler's, in Princes-street, Bank, when he was detained, and the cheque stopped. By Mr. BBADON—Had not seen the prisoner again from that time until he saw him that day in custody. To the best of his belief the prisoner was the *ame man. The prisoner asked the witness what time of the day did he say it was that he gave him the cheque? The witness said, half. past two o'clock. Witness told him that it wanted a minute to it. The prisoner had not the same coat on then that he had at the bar. The prisoner hastily said it was the same coat he had on at the time. Mr. BEADON said he should remand the prisoner for a week. HORRIBLE MURDER of a CHILD .1. LOUTH, LINCOLNSHIRE, SEPT. B.—Yesterday an examination of a young woman, charged with the murder of her infant daughter, was resumed before a full bench of magistrates at the Town Hall. The prisoner, whose name is Ellen Tuxford, aged 24 years, is a fine, handsome-looking female. Upon being placed in the dock the following evidence was adduced : Superintendent Tracey said—From information which I received respecting the prisoner I w here i duced to make inquiry at the Louth workhouse, I learned that the prisoner, who had for some time been an inmate, had there been delivered of a fema le child about five weeks before, and that she left the house on the 25th of August, s tating that she WO going to Thmby. I traced her to Tho rb y , but s he he had no child with her. Upon going to the hous where she was staying she den ied that she had had a child. I did not therefor e at that time take her into custody. Finding that she had after. wards absented herself from the house, and secreted reben' result herself in another, I gave orders for her app sion, and went in search of the child. The of this inquiry was, that I traced the prisoner as far as Houghton, on the Spilby road, with the child .I.a, her possession, beyond which all trace of the chtlos was lost. The prisoner was there see , n ear her a pond with what appeared to be an infant in er A arms. Upon the apprehension o f the prison asked her if she would state what had become of the child, to which she replied that it had been acco throw n d into a pond by a man whom she ha d met, to t h a t for which she said that the child h ad died, a ' h. was cr y in g ; that the man asked her the tool in she told him, upon which he sa id he would sol o g t e he over that for her, and then tl rew the child an, pond. I then went, contint ed the constable, ; searched the pond, where I found the child . it w e _, ‘ quite naked, and I afterwards searched the prisonwero house, Ns here I found the child's clothes ; theY i holt quite wet, and spotted with blood ; they his ' hidden in a coal-hole. d spo si Mr. Bogg, surgeon, of Louth, said- - I In" one mortem examination of the body of th of the side of its mouth was cut away, and a portionwoun , tongue had been cut out.
