NOW EXHIBITING, AT THE EGYPTIAN HALL, PICCADILLY, the most EXTRAORDINARY EXHIBITION of ABOR GI ES EVER SEEN in EUROPE, landed in Liverpool by the brig Fanny, Captain Wheeler. TWO MEN, TWO WOMEN, and a BABY, of the BOSJESMAN or BUSH TRIBE, from the interior of South Africa, a race that, from their wild habits, could never before be induced to visit a place of civilization. This opportunity of gratifying the man of science and the student in zoology has only been obtained by great personal exertion on the part of the gentlemen who have brought them to England, at an immense outlay of capital. On the passage to Europe a baby was born at sea, thus adding to the great interest that must be excited by their appearance. From the Liverpool Journal :--"Bosjesmans, or Bush People, from Southern Africa—lnteresting specimens of a most extraordinary race meth of na h nc oh a ra n s. b .b e se i he n , beings People h r have ee fromben beyn thetlhen landed interior no missionaries, e p port nt South; d t they Africa,af e r fw e t h w e wh ß ho ochtsseci he t ravelled to that far distant region.

In every respect they are calculated to excite the greatest astonishment, and to confirm to the full those " Tales of Travellers" which we have certainly been inclined to look upon s with suspicion. We could scarcely have credited that such a race could be in existence on t he ear th . That they are genuine no one can doubt ; in proof of which we give the following extract from a Cape Town Paper of the 24th December, which we have just re • ceived :—" We understand the brig Fanny, Captain Wheeler, which recently left Table Bay for Liverpool, had on board an unusual kind of exportation, viz., two males and two females of the genuine Bush man species; they are in charge of a Mr. J. G. R. Bishop, who has been at considerable trouble and expense in dims them from the interior. They are authentic specimens of this nutive and ra pidly decreasing tribe of Aborigines, found only in southern Africa. s p , os c it ; disio in n pb o e f ll t , h s, e i l t l a o e s k je b s o m us ag : see Fo je r ro p f a e rt ss i o c Methune's, and Moffatt'a Tra vels in South Africa. r ula Ll o h f t e t n h s e t e l l i n a ' b s ts ß a a r n e d h Admission One Shilling, and Reserved Seats Two Shillings and Sixpence GOLD, SILVER, DIAMONDS, PEARLS, and all the most precious and costly gems, are imitated to such perfection, that but very few uninitiated persons can positively tell a paste brooch or a ring from a diamond, the real pearl from the imitation, or German Silver from the genuine ; but put them into the hands of the connoisseur, how soon the delusion vanishes when he affirms they are but vile and base imitations. So it is with the most valuable inventions as well as stones and metals. None but the inimitable in value are imitated in appearance, and as soon as the consumer (the best connoisseur) attempts to use them, how soon he finds out their utter uselessness. Thus it is with the most valuable of all inventions ; the celebrated METALLIC RAZOR TABLET of GEORGE SAUNDERS has been the target for imitation for the last thirty years. To Gentlemen who shave themselves the following query is pro posed.—Why do all the first cutlers in Europe use and recommend Saunders' Four-sided Tablet Razor Strop ? The answer is simply because it is the only one that gives to a razor a keen and smooth edge. DEPOT, 278, STRAND. To wholesale purchasers a liberal discount will be made.

The inquiry into the causes of the death of the unfor tunate woman, Sarah Skinner, took place on Thursday evening before Mr. Grindma, the city coroner. James Irwin, the brother of the deceased, deposed that the deceased, together with her husband and two children, occupied an upper room in the house, No. 4, Limekiln-lane, which was the only apartment they had, the accused being a mechanic. At about half-past seven o'clock on the evening of Tuesday deponent called in upon them to see his sister, who was at home; her hus band was lying down undressed in bed, and complained of not being well The witness recommended him to take some castor-oil, and the wife set herself about pre paring some tea for her husband. They were both of them perfectly sober. While witness was sitting down he noticed that the handle of a small sweeping or hearth brush was broken, and asked how it came so, and the prisoner replied, " I broke it on Sally (meaning his wife) yesterday beating her," and she then complained of bruises. Witness replied that it was a shame for a hus band and wife to be quarrelling and disagreeing, and that if he were married, rather than he would be beating his wife, he would separate from her, if' he went to the furthest part of the earth. The husband replied that was what she wanted, and the deceased said, " No, indeed, it is not," and that she had no wish to leave him after having been for several years married. Witness then said, he was sorry that he had beaten her, fur it never belonged to one of her family to be ill conducted. [he husband replied, that witness knew nothing about it, and ordered him out of the room. Witness said he would go, and got up to do so, but his si,ter caught hold of him, and would not let him go, exclaiming, that if he left, her husband would murder her. The prisoner then jumped out of bed, undressed as he was, and struck at her ; a sort of scuffle ensued, in which they all three fell on the bed, and he (witness) endeavoured to hold the husband, to prevent his beating her. He, however, got away, and ran to a shelf, slid seized an ivory-handled table knife, with which he ran at either witness or the deceased, he could not say which, and drove witness out of the room down two or three of the stairs. The pri soner then returned to the room, and almost immediately witness heard a crash, but supposed it to be the break age of some cups and saucers, and went down stairs, when the first thing that met his view was his sister lying on the pavement of the street in a dying state. When witness left the room the window was closed. %V. Watkins, a coach painter, was the next witness called, and stated, that having left his work at about a quarter before eight o'clock. on Tuesday evening, he was passing down Limekiln-lane, when on coming near the house No. 4, he noticed the body of a woman falling, and looking up to see whence she fell, he saw the third window up from the street in the act of being closed, although he could not see who it was that was closing it. Ho ran to the unfortunate woman, who was covered with blood, and lifted her up. She was in ady ing state, and was carried into the house, where she very shortly died. A poliee-constable deposed that he was not on duty at the time of the occurrence, but was standing at the door of the house in which he resided, and which was not more than thirty yards from the house in question. Hearing a crash, he ran into the street, and saw the poor woman dashed on the pavement. He ran to her, and assisted her into the house, and sent for medical assistance; but before any could arrive the woman was dead. She was perfectly insensible, and never spoke. Witness then returned to his house, and having put on his uniform coat, and got his staff, not being away more than two minutes, went up-stairs into the room occupied by the deceased and her husband. The prisoner was in the room, and the two little children; he was lying on the bed undressed. Witness asked him if he knew what had occurred, and he said he did not. Witness then asked him if he knew his wife had fallen out of the window, to which the prisoner replied that she had thrown herself out, and that he had just seen her hair outside the window as she was falling. He then asked witness what had become of her? and upon being an swered that she was lying dead in the kitchen, he looked up in the policeman's face and smiled, but said nothing. Witness then examined the room, and on looking at the window found it shut and buttoned on the inside. The bottom of the window was about a foot from the floor of the room. The window itself contained nine panes of glass, and was about a yard square • it shut with hinges about button .st the i o ee ‘ f trli a , oia s nos t gm e r i o t k e This h b u e t h t o n a p w p a e s a r f e d s t e n to e ad. a o v e n e on the one side lik e a door, and ;here was a wooden b P be a e n n e broken fr om th e i nside, as there was no broken glass sureEl g t e h o e n n , took s t e h d e prisoner h i n a t d o m c u a s d t e o d a y n . examination of the body; the viscera were healthy, there were no signs of recent intoxication. There were some bruises on the left arm and one on the leg. The fourth left rib was broken, and the skull was most extensively fractured from the front to the base, extending down through the eye and the nose. The injury to the brain caused by these fractures was no doubt the cause of death. The Coroner then summed up, and the jury delibe rated for a lengthened period, when it was understood that 12 were for a verdict of wilful murder, and three against. The inquiry was then adjourned till to-day, when two additional witnesses were produced, one of whom, a woman, deposed to her having seen a man's arm in his shirt sleeves closing the window as the woman was falling. The jury then returned a verdict of " Wilful Mur der," and the prisoner was committed accordingly. MURDER AT KIDDERMINSTER KIDDERMINSTER, THIIRSDAY.—The inquest On the body of Phillpotts was re-opened last evening, before Mr. R. Docker, at the Town-hull. The excitement con tinued as great as on the previous day. It will be seen from the following report that a num ber of witnesses were examined, and in consequence of the reluctance of one of them to appear, the Coroner issued a summons for his appearance. The evidence of Cornelius Thomas, painter, was first taken. This witness was in the street at the time the affray took place. After some quarrelling and fighting he saw Lloyd take refuge in the house of Lockley, and saw Phillpotts and Lloyd strike each other in the door way, immediately on which Phillpotts rushed back into the street covered with blood. The witness corroborated several portions of the evidence given by the witnesses on Tuesday evening. He was the party who first saw the knife in the back kitchen. When he picked it up he did not notice that it was bloody, the light being bad. It was a two-bladed knife. The witness on being exa mined by the attorney for the prisoner, and by the jury, said he did not see any person strike Phillpotts. Any one might have done so without his (witness's) observ ing it. to end. He The next witness, Joseph Hill, fruiterer, saw the whole of the transaction f rom beginning deposed that on his r eturn ho meward from a club-walk he encountered a body of nearly 20 people on Li on -hill. They were quarrelling , and wi tness, it appears, did his d Lockley retired to th e h ouse of the best anida s stationttLoe restoreohyod us police ae c ame up, and carried one man off to the peace among them. T wo o f t h e Kidder n, a fter which the quarr e lli ng recommenced, latter, as already stated in the evidence of other wit nesses. Lloyd and Mrs. Lockley stood at the door, and Phillpotts coming to the footpath before Lockley's door, called to Lloyd to " come out," and he would have a round or two at him." To this Lloyd made answer— "lf you'll come here, I will show you the way to Brum magem." Some of Phillpotts's friends then incited him to "go at Lloyd," upon which Phillpotts rushed at pot turned back into the ts Lloyd to strike him , and Llo yd and Phillpetts struck at n each i nthe As soon a s they had icic a street, and cried in a deep voice, " Oh, dear," and then a cry was rai sed that h is throat had been cut. struck The witness was hol din g Lo ckley in a chair to pre ventt othe r each other, the r doorway. p h i him fighting with Pardoe, but hearing this be got up, and running into the street, saw the blood spouting from a wound in Phillpott's throat nearly a yard in front of him. The deceased fell to the ground shortly after he ran from Lockley's house, and was picked up by a young man, who held him in a sitting posture on the ground. He appeared almost insensible, and witness sent for a surgeon, and fetched Phillpotts's brother's wife. The deceased was then gasping, and died shortly afterwards. The witness then detailed the circumstances of the finding of the knife, as already de posed to by the witness Thomas. On the knife being found Mrs. Lockley declared that it belonged to Lloyd. but Lloyd denied it. Mrs. Lockley's hand was slightly cut; and the inspector of police having asked her how it happened, she replied that she did not know, but sup posed she must have received it in the scuffle when Lloyd turned from the door. The several parties were then questioned by the police, and the prisoner Lloyd was taken off to the police-station.

Police-inspector Peters, on being called to the spot, about two o'clock on Sunday morning, found the de ceased in a dying state, with his clothes saturated with blood, which had flowed upon the ground in consider able quantities. Having looked to the deceased, he entered Lockley's house and searched it with Inspector Merrefield. The knife already spoken of was produced by the witness Thomas, and witness asked Lloyd if it belone•ed to him. He replied in the negative, but Mrs. Lockley declared that it did, and said that she had bor rowed it of him frequently. On lookine , at the knife by the light of a candle, witness found marks of blood upon the handle and blade. Witness told Lloyd that, believing he was the guilty party, he should take him to the sta tion-house, which he did. When at the station-house be examined the prisoner very minutely, and found three spots of blood on the back of his right hand, and a stain of blood on his waistcoat. The blood on his hands was quite dry, and two of the spots were as large as a fourpenny piece. The prisoner said he did not know how he got the blood upon him. There were marks of blood on Lockley's front door. Mr. Bradley, surgeon, of Kidderminster, deposed to the nature of the wound in the deceased's throat. The wound was a clean cut wound, nearly three inches long by two deep, and upwards of an inch wide. The external carotid artery was completely severed, as were also the external jugular vein and four other arteries and veins in the neck. The body on examination was in a most healthy condition, but quite drained of blood in all its parts. There could be no doubt that death had been caused by the wound in the neck, which was sufficient to have caused death in three minutes. The knife pro duced by inspector Peters might have inflicted the inju ries of which the deceased died. The knife is sharp, and must have been used with considerable force by the party by whom the wound was inflicted. Other witnesses were at hand, but the jury said it was unnecessary to call them, as they were quite satisfied. The CORONER then addressed the jury on this shock big case, and pointed out the distinction between the crimes of murder and manslaughter. He also read over the whole of the evidence, and The jury having retired for a few minutes, returned a verdict of " Manslaughter" against Lloyd, who, accord ingly, stands committed for trial at the Worcester as sizo, to be held next month. THE MURDER IN MARYLEBONE. INQUEST ON THE BODY. Last evening, at six o'clock, a most respectable jury was empannelled before Mr. Mills, deputy-coroner for the western division of Middlesex, at the Carpenters' Arms, Adam-street West, Bryanston- square, to investi gate the circumstances connected with the death of Mary Stowell, the aged woman alleged to have been murdered by a woman named Mary Ann Hunt, on the night of Tuesday last. The jury having viewed the body, which lay in the back kitchen of the house, No. 40, Adam-street West, the evidence was entered into. Charles Battersby, police-constable 124 D, was first sworn. He said, on the morning of Wednesday last, I found the deceased dead in the back kitchen of the house, No. 40, Adam-street West, at about a quarter-past five o'clock. About a quarter-past four on the same morn ing, I was passing through Adam-street West, and saw a woman, named Mary Ann Hunt, put her head outside the street door of No. 40. She had her bonnet en, and the moment she saw me she drew her head back and closed the door. I thought this looked suspicious, and I concealed myself. About a quarter before five the same woman came out with two bundles ; but seeing me she threw the bundles in again, and then went in and shut the door. Shortly after the door was opened, and I got my hand in, and forced it open. I then saw Mary Ann Hunt in the passa g e, and said "Do these bundles belong to you?" She said" Yes." I said she was not an honest woman, or she would not have tried to avoid the police. She said she lived up stairs with an old lady, and I could ro up and see if I liked. She went up a few stairs, and said "I suppose it is no use telling you a lie." I said " No, nor a thousand, unless I see the old lady." She then said she lodged with the old lady in the front kitchen. I went down stairs with her, and she said, "It is no use knocking, she is as deaf as a stone." I went into the area, and on looking through the window, saw the room was quite empty. I said, " This is the second lie you have told me, when are we to come to the truth? As we passed back towards the back kitchen door, my ' shoulder touched it, and she then said, "You have come to the truth now, but don't say I did it, for I haven't seen her since last night." The woman Hunt had a reti cule on her arm, and sne took a pound's worth of silver from it, and said she would give it me if I would let her go. I said, " I was suspicious before, but I am confi dent now that something is wrong." I then took her up to the person who lived in the shop, and she identified the woman as living with the deceased in the back kitchen. I then took her down stairs again, and after knocking at the door without effect, I went into the yard to look in at the window, and whilst I was doing so the accused endeavoured to escape by means of a water-pipe on to the wall, but I prevented her. She then asked to go into the closet, and I allowed her, but as she tried to shut the door, I looked in, and found her trying to strangle herself. I then took her up, and having given her into custody of another constable, I went down stairs and got into the back kitchen by means of the window. I then discovered the body of the deceased lying with her head under the grate, with the rope I now produce tied tightly six times round her neck. I found a great deal of blood on my hands, and then saw her face was covered with blood. It appeared to me, from the deceased's hands being up, that she had struggled very much. Her cap was by her side. Saw the m-rks of a severe blow on the left jaw, appa rently inflicted with a poker or some such instrument. Her hair was completely saturated with blood. After the discovery. I ran up stairs, and having sent the woman Hunt to the station-house, I sent for Mr. :a oat, a surgeon, who came in a few minutes. The person who committed the act must have got out of the kitchen win dow as the door was locked, and I found the key under the body. There was no money in the room, but I have two watches, a brooch, ring, and other trinkets, which I found in deceased's pockets, and her daughter has iden tified them as the deceased's property. On examining the woman Hunt at the station I found that the gown she had on at the time I took her into custody was covered with blood. It was stained on the left arm to the extent of three or four inches. There were several spots of blood on the breast and front of the gown. Her hands were clean, and there was an appear. ance as if she had attempted to wash some of the blood from the wrist of the gown. The witness here produced the poker, which was covered with blood and hair, as also the clothes of the accused, for examination by the coroner and jury. Susannah Nisbett examined—l reside at No. 40, Adam-street West. I last saw the deceased alive about three o'clock on the afternoon of Tuesday. I was then in the yard, and deceased was on the kitchen stairs She then appeared as usual. The woman Mary Ann Hunt lived with the deceased, and was, I believe, a ser vant out of place. She had lived ten or eleven weeks as a fellow-lodger with the deceased. I last saw Hunt about nine o'clock on Tuesday night, coming along the passage from the kitchen stairs. She held down her head and appeared ashamed. I beard Hunt quarrelling with the deceased on Monday night, and in the course of it I heard one of the voices, which I believe to be Hunt's, say, "I will do for you." Sarah Sinclair, another lodger in the house where the murder took place, stated, that she did not see deceased alive after three o'clock on Tuesday. About half-past nine o'clock I saw the accused, Mary Ann Hunt, lying on the kitchen stairs. I had a conversation with the deceased at three o'clock on the Tuesday afternoon. De ceased asked me if I heard her quarrelling over night with Hunt, as she was afraid to go to bed, as Hunt said she would do for her. I advised her to lock Mary Ann Hunt out, and we then parted. The witness Nisbett was recalled, and in answer to a question, stated, that she had heard the accused, Hunt, stay that she knew the deceased was an old miser, and had zot plenty of money in that drawer, pointing to one in the kitchen. Elizabeth Wills, the daughter of the deceased, stated that she took tea with her mother on Sunday, when she said she wanted to get rid of Hunt as a lodger, as she would have a man come and visit her. She said she became acquainted with Hunt at Colonel Wyndham Smith's, where she had been at service, and having left her place, she took her to lodge with her. She had seen her mother take money from a drawer in the kitchen. Constable Battersby said he found the drawer in ques tion open with a key in it, but it was perfectly empty. Another daughter of deceased said, her mother had told her she was saving a little money to bury herself decently. She was 78 years of age. Mr. Hayman said, I am the landlord of the house, No. 40, Adam-street West, but reside at 43. I was calle in on Monday evening on account of the quarrel betweed Hunt and deceased. The deceased said Hunt had bee n abusing her because she asked for her rent. On speak_ ing to Hunt she said deceased was acovetous old wretch and would not lend her daughter 6d., although she had p l en ty in that drawer, pointing to a drawer in the' kitchen, and that she had seen it. Mr. W. Crofton Moat—l reside at 28, Upper Berke ley-street, and at half-past five o'clock on Tuesday morn ing I was called to see the body. It was stone cold, and the limbs were rigid. Blood was flowing from the nose and mouth. I found the cord produced tied six times round the neck, but it was not tight enough to produce strangulat;on. My impression is that the deceasedof the had been dead about eig ht hours. I have, by order Coroner, made a post morte m examination. Externally blood bad ' flowed over the chest and right arm, and the head laid in a pool of blood. On the right side of the scalp there was a mark of violence , _ but the skull was so und. Great eoc h y mosis existed around the right eye; the eye was prominent, caused b of y a an severe inch bruise to ngue projected t hree • q gums. beyond the gums. Th e marks on the n eck did not indicate Chet the cord was tight. Under the left side of t the jaw there was ecchymosis extending from the chin to the angle. A similar mark was near the spinal vertebra. The ribs on both sides were very extensively fractured, indeed broken quite through. There was great congestion of the vessels of the chest around the fractures. The rings of the windpipe were fractured by violence and the trochee was gorged with blood. The lungs were crushed by the fractured ribs. The cause of the deceased's death was the rush of blood into the air vessels of the lungs, caused PRICE SD. by the crushing in of the ribs upon them. The ribs might have been broken in by stamping with the feet, but I should think it was done by a larger surface. I believe that she was first injured over the right eye by an instrument at least two inches in circumference. I do not think the poker produced was the weapon used. I have no doubt that death has been produced from the crushing in of the chest. I have seen the gown prodnced, and I have no doubt the spots on them are marks of blood. Elizabeth Quarterman proved that the cord produced as the part of a clothes-line she had placed along the passage of the kitchens in the house where deceased resided. There being no further evidence, some discussion en sued between the Deputy-Coroner and jury as to the non production of the accused before the court. The DEPUTY-CORONER then proceeded to sum up the evidence, and the jury, after a short deliberation, re turned a verdict of" Wilful murder" against Mary Ann Hunt, and the Deputy-Coroner issued his warrant for her committal to Newgate. The inquiry did not terminate until a late hour. LAW INTELLIGENCE. ROLLS' COURT, June 4. ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. GILBERT.-.- KING EDWARD'S GRAND. MAR-SCHOOL LN BIRMINGHAM. The ArroarieY-Gexenat replied to-day at considerable length in this case. The matter came before the Court upon an ex-officio information filed by her Ma jesty's Attorney-General on the recommendation of the Charity Commissioners, made so long ago as September, 1835, for the purpose of settling a scheme for the administra tion of a charity, to set aside certain leases of the charity property alleged to have been improperly granted, to take an account of the profits accruing to the lessee in respect of the property, and for the application of the income, as to part thereof at least, in a manner different from the present usage. From the statement of Counsel, it appeared that a Mr. John Milward, who was born in Birmingham, received part of his education at Brasenose College, Oxford, and resided for a con siderable period of his life in Haverfordwest, being desirous of bestowing some tatting benefit on those three places, inserted a provision for that purpose in his will, bearing date the 10th of June, 1654. The clause was to this effect :—And in respect of my estate, with the appurtenances in Bordesley, in the county of Warwick, now let for a term to Michael Hunt, at the rent of 26/. a year, and all my right in the house and premises with the appurtenances, in the town of Birmingham, called the Red Lion, I devise the same to the bailiff of Birmingham for the time being, the p r in c ip a l o f B rasenose College, Oxford, for the time being, and the mayor of the town and county of Haver fordwest, and their s uccessors , t o h o ld t h e same t o th e uses hereinafter mentioned; as to the first two years after my decease, that the rent of the estate be paid by Michael Hunt to my executrix, for the five daughters of Jenkins Howell, of Haverfordwest, and for the residue of the term, 81. 13s. 4d., one-third part of th e annua l rent, to be pa i d to Michael Hunt, by the direction o f th e b a iliff , to the sc h ool of Birmingham, for the maintenance and use of the school. master, 81. 13s. 4d., by a like direction of the mayor, &c., to the school at Haverfordwest, for the schoolmaster, and 8/. 13s. 4d. to Brasenose College, Oxford, for the part main tenance and education therein of a scholar to be placed or sent there by the schools of Birmingham and Haverfordwest in turns; and the income of the Red Lion to be applied in three equal shares for the use of the college and the schools. And after the expiration of the existing lease of the estate in Bordesley, the same as well as the Red Lion was to be let at an improved rent by fine or otherwise, so that a rent of 26/. he always reserved as before, and if a fine be taken, that it be equally for the schools and the college. And the testator appointed Elizabeth Thomas his execu trix. After the death of the testator the trusts of the will were carried out in this way. The principal of Brasenose College, the mayor of Haverfordwest, and the schoolmaster of Birmingham, leased the property at first together, and afterwards separately, and the rents and profits were received by them and divided equally, and ultimately, when they began to lease separately, each re ceived his own share. The schoolmasters of Birmingham and Haverfordwest, however, each received the entire of the one-third of the proceeds, but the college retained their one third for their own use, except the sum of 8/. 13s. 4d., which they paid to a scholar when there actually was one sent up by the schools, but which they also retained for their own use when there was no scholar. After the parties began to make leases separately of their respective shares, which was as far back at all events as 1710, the leases were for a tern of twenty-one years, at a rent of 261., renewable every seven years on payment of a fine. This continued till the year 1762, in which year the mayor of Ha verfordwest granted a lease for ninety-nine years, at 881. a year, the Birmingham School and the College con tinuing to let as before. In 1829 the Birmingham School granted a renewal of the lease of their thi r d, a t a fi ne o f 158/. 175., and in 1838, Dr. Jeune, the then master, agreed with Mr. Taylor, the lessee, for the renewa l o f that lease, but subject to the approbation of the Court, the information having been filed. Dr. Jeune had got the appointment of Dean of Jersey, and, there fore, wished to exercise his right to renew before leav ing the school. The information sought to establish the right of the scholar sent from Birmingham or Haverford west to the whole of the one-third profits of the estate, whether in the shape of rents or fines, and of course to de prive the college of the beneficial interest therein; but it did not propose to disturb the application of the funds as regarded the schools, the whole, in fact, being en joyed by the masters. The information also sought to set aside the leases of 1762, of 1829, and of 1838, and to take an account of the profits accruing to Mr. Taylor. It was stated that the property was worth 4001. a year, and that Mr. Taylor had a profit of 3501. a year. The MASTIC& of the Row" at the conclusion of the Attor ney-General's reply to-day, postponed giving judgment, in order to afford all the parties an opportunity of seeing whether or not some arrangement could be come to among them. The case was ultimately ordered to stand over to the 11th of the present mouth. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, June 4. (Sittings in Banco.—Trinity Term.) IN THZ MATTER OF THOMAS SINNING. Mr. PASHLEY moved, this morning, that Thomas Kinning, brought up out of custody on a writ of habeas corpus, ob tained yesterday, be forthwith discharged. The prisoner had been committed to custody for the non-payment of an instalment of a debt owing by him, and which he was or dered to pay off by instalments, after hearing the statement of his circumstances, by one of the judges of the County Courts. The Bth and 9th Victoria, chap. 127, sec. 1, gives power to the judge to commit a debtor to prison for not more than forty days for any fraud, or concealment of his ability to pay, and for non-payment of such instalments of the debt as, after hearing the case, the judge may deem him to be capable of paying. In the applicant's case he failed to pay an instalment of his debt thus ordered to be paid; and on proof of this, to the satisfaction of the judge ex parte by the creditor, the applicant was committed to gaol. The Learned Counsel now raised several technical objections to the sufficiency of the warrant of commitment; and also urged as the chief ground why the prisoner should be dis charged, that before any such commitment, on default of paying an instalment, the prisoner was entitled to be heard, because the punishment to be awarded was discretionary, the statute enacting that it should not be "more than forty days," and he might be able to show a sufficient reason to the judge to excuse the default or to mitigate the punishment. This was the chief argument relied on, and it is not neces sary, the judgment being founded on this, to notice the other objections. Mr. P&TERSDORFF, on behalf of the creditor or a party interested, contended that this was not a penal enactment, but a power given to the creditor, suspended on the perform ance of the condition of payment. It gave the creditor a limited ca. sa. against the debtor. An arrest of a debtor on an ex parte statement was not unusual. An arrest on mesne process was always on ex parte statement ; for notice to the debtor would defeat the whole object of the creditor in mak ing the application to ajudge for the warrant. So notice here to the debtor might have the same effect. He might abscond and avoid the arrest. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said, the Court had looked very , anxiously at the question which had arisen on this part of the statute, it having come before another Court, which had not been able to come to a satisfactory conclusion upon it, the very Learned Judges of that Court differing as to the construction of the statute. The Court thought that this return was not sufficient, and that the defendant was en titled to be discharged by reason of the insufficiency of the warrant under which he was taken into custody. This sta tute was to a considerable extent penal, because it gave a power of imprisonment not by way of satisfaction of the debt. If a party was taken upon a capias ad satisfaciendum the im prisonment suffered under that writ was a satisfaction of the debt; but here it was simply used apparently by way of punishment or coercion, and the party was sub jected to an imprisonment which was to vary accord ing to the circumstances of his particular case. It appeared ,by the section in question that, if a party wished to enforce payment of his debt, be was to apply to some one of the Courts for an order on his debtor. The debtor was to be summoned, and an inquiry was to take place on certain matters. One of those matters was the debtor's means of payment, and the judge was to exercise a discretion as to the time for the payment of the debt, which was to be regulated by the means of the debtor to pay ; and the judge had the power of imprisonment for the concealment of those means or for failure of pay ment ; but that was not a satisfaction of the debt, it was a punishment. If a judge found that a debtor had the means to pay and would not pay, the judge had the power of committing him. It was obvious that it was material at all times to know when the debtor had the means of payment. The general purview of the Act seemed to be this, that it was inhuman to send a man to pr ison for non-payment of his debt when he had not the means ofpay- pay ing it, reserving power to punish hi m for fraudulently with holding the debt if he had the mea ns of p a y ing it. and as to his future probable means of p a y ing the debt. off judge party, was to inquire into the then circumstances o It was only on the presumption that he . had not the the 1, i h u e d n g e i f time o ul was authorised present mean s togr an of t time for pas granted granted in reference to the debtor's means of payment, and it appeared that payment was not made according to the order of the judge, the judge had a power of commit ment not exceeding forty days. What was to be the payment f ou ndation of the judgment to b e for med with regard to the time for which the debtor was to be committed ? Could it be doubted that the debtor's means ofp; m ast be one of the essential points of the jog a i r y if it was, could the judge by possibility make an effectual ' inquiry into a person's means of payment unless he heard the debtor, who might be the only person to know his means ?

The Court thought that the safest rule of construction was, that a debtor should have notice before he was committed. The Court found the statute based altogether on the principle that the debtor should not be imprisoned who had not the means of payment. He thought, therefore, that the warrant was defective, and that the prisoner was entitled to his discharge. Their Lordships severally gave judgments concurring with that of the Lord Chief Justice. The priaoner was, therefore, ordered to be discharged. 'I , COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, June 4. Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPERRD). RE LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM EXTENSION AND NORTHAMP TON, DAVENTRY, LEAMINGTON, AND WARWICK RAILWAY COMPANY, BANKRUPTS. The first meeting 1.,r the proof of debts and the choice of assignees under the fiat was held to-day. Mr. ASIWEST said that he had to make an application to the Court on the part of the petitioning creditors, whom he represented, for further time to enable them to obtain the necessary books. Mr. LAURENCE opposed the application, whi c h, h owever , was eventually agreed to, and the 24th in s t an t, a t e l even o'cloA, appointed for the proof of debts and the appointment of assignees.

MEETING OF THE DEBENTURE HOLDERS OF THE LYCEUM THEATRE. An adjourned meeting of the debenture holders of the Lyceum was held yesterday at half-past one o'clock, in the saloon of the theatre, for the purpose of receiving the report of the committee of three (Messrs. Warrington, Powell, and Strutt), who were appointed at the meeting held in the same place this day three weeks for the purpose of making application to the trustees for their accounts. The attendance of de benture holders was much more numerous than it was on the former occasion. Mr. Warrington having been called to the chair, Mr. STRVTT proceeded to state to the debenture holders what had been done by himself and his colleagues to carry out the resolution agreed to at the last meeting. They_ had addressed letters to each of the trustees, and to Mr. W. A. Arnold, the mortgagee in possession of the theatre. From Mr. Hullett they had received an answer, stating that he had no accounts to exhibit, never having received funds applicable to the purposes of the trust, and for any informa tion on the subject he referred them to Mr. Johnson, of Chancery-lane, who had drawn up the trust deed, and who had been deputed by Mr. W. Arnold to act in the affairs of the trust, to keep them distinct from his accounts as mortgagee. From Lord Saltoun they had received an answer stating that his Lordship had never received any monies applicable to the trust; and from Sir Andrew * Barnard and Mr. S. J. Arnold, no answer had been received. ;From Mr. Walter Arnold a letter had been received, referring to his letter to Mr. Strutt of the 16th of April, for his answer to the request. Since then, Mr. Walter Arnold had addressed a letter to the debenture holders, which letter he would wish to have read, and to some of the state ments in which he should feel it his duty to reply, (The letter, which appeared in most of the newspapers a few days since, and which is dated 31st May, was then read. It denied the truth of the charges which had been brought egatust the writer, and stated that the expenses incurred would all but absorb the ideal balance which Mr. Strutt wished to make it appear he had in hand ; stated that the private box to which allusion had been made had been spe cially reserved for Mr. W. Arnold's father, and for his use, when the theatre was let ; denied that it was because he had been remonstrated with on the subject of letting that box that he had refused to let Messrs. Strutt and Keeley have the theatre, denied that he had ever re fused to let them have it; but asserted, on the contrav, that their quitting was their own act—that he had refused to re duce their rent, and that therefore they had given notice to quit. The letter concluded by saying that he should be sorry to foreclose hie mortgage, but that if he were driven to the adoption of hostile proceedings, they would be conducted as vigorously as they would, be commenced reluctantly. Mr. Strutt denied that he had made any charge against Mr. W. Arnold. All that he had done had been to take that gentleman's own state ments, and to show that they required explanation, and he had said before as he said now, that it was the duty of Mr. W. Arnold to be present to answer for himself.— ( Hear, hear.) With regard to the sum charged for insurance, the accuracy of his statement concerning which Mr. W. Arnold had denied, all he could say was, that he had received his information from one of the directors of the West of England Fire-office. (After going over several of the items of account Mr. Strutt cont nued.) With re gard to the private box, it had been reserved for the use of Mr. Arnold's father and his friends every night, but that did not give Mr. Arnold a right to let it, and dep-iye the lessee of twelve guineas a week for having the best box in the theatre ; it would be sure to be let first. The Marquis of Exeter had never let his box, and Mr. Arnold might as well sell the eight double orders which he had the privilege of writing every night. With regard to his giving up the theatre, it happened in this way :—After he and Mr. Leeley had had the theatre some time, and had retrieved its prospects, they applied for a renewal of the term, and Mr W. Arnold refused to let them have the theatre except they bound themselves to pay a rent, increasing by 2001- every two years, and to spend annually a certain sum in decorating the theatre. Last year during the warm weather they lost 1,600/., as nothing during such weather would attract people to the theatre. They applied to Mr. Arnold to assent to any reduction in the rent (they were now paying him 2,9001. per annum), which he refused, as also to forego the increase of 2001. a year upon the present rental, and they, knowing that at such a rent the theatre must be carried on at a loss, had given him notice to quit. Mr. MAYHEW knew that when the private box was first given to Mr. Arnold it was not given with the idea that he was to let it. He knew Mr. W. Arnold to be a very honourable man, and therefore did not think be would put his threat of foreclosure into execution. Still it was ill-advised and unwise in him to hold out such a threat to those who had come forward to assist his father in his difficulties.—(Hear.) He also thought he acted im properly in paying himself the interest o n hi s thepay p t r h o mpe property r r t g age was,hd while e T a h t i the sam threat e o f t i f nl o r e ; c h i oes had showedneglected not so bad as it was represented to be, and it might be worth the while of the debenture holders to consider whether they should not buy up the mortgage, and thus be enabled to take the property under their own management. He believed that Mr. Arnold was sore at what had been said by Mr. Strutt, but he believed that he would show the accounts to any debenture holder who was an indifferent party between them. Mr. MILLAR, of Bath, had advanced his money to assist Mr. Arnold, and he thought it was a very ungrateful return fur such kindness for Mr. W. Arnold to turn round upon them with a threat of foreclo-ure. He thought he was a very im proper person to be trusted with the management of the property, and he hoped steps would be taken to remove him. Mr. LUALEY had seen Mr. Arnold that morning, and he had stated his willingness to show the accounts to any de benture holder who would call at his house. Mr. F. TifomPsoN attended that meeting as the friend of Mr. W. Arnold. He had himself seen the vouchers for the repairs and the different items of expenditure. It was natural that he should feel sore at the ctigrg7is,, our h . Mr. Strutt had made, and for a c n h d arge ex t pl b a u in t was certain that he would give to the e e explanation. Thompson) believed there was no d f h ou m n a . t d u a i r c t e i o h n o , ld b e r u s t a n h y e a e de th a er " e Y his w c as ondu h ct to duty the debenture holders. t h o ad co m m Mr. MILLAR. asked the gentleman who appeared for Mr. trrr d oe denied i Mr.ed thatArnold e Arnold to explain by what right Mr Arnold charged the i Jr. S t ru e , 150/. a year for receiving his own money? Mr. F. THOMPSON had nu explailal I n to give on that himself point. i E s s — E T I h en you that have not i received proper had instruc tions, p nr : sir. A VOICE—Then soC m explained GlR Walter Arnold chby ased the mortgage held Peto, in 1838. Mr. STluJrr said that since then Mr. Walter Arnold had transferred that mortgage to Lord Thomas Cecil, and there was no notice of any re-trander in the register-book. It was therefore necessary to know by what right Mr. W. Arnold claimed to be mortgagee in possession. After a somewhat lengthened discussion, a resolution was proposed by Mr. MAYHEW, appointing a committee of five— viz., Mr. Strutt, Mr. Warrington, Mr. Powell, Mr. Lumley, and Dr. Jay—to wait on Mr. Arnold, and go through the accounts, with an accountant, and report on the same to a meeting to be hereafter summoned, when such accounts shall be made out. On the motion of Dr. JAY, seconded by Sir CHARLES' F. ' FORBES, the thanks of the meeting were voted to Mr. Strutt; and, On the motion of Mr. STaurr, seconded by Mr. Ltistixr, thanks were voted to the Chairman; atter which the meet ing separated.
