The slaughtering of animals in town is necessarily attended by circumstances which render the practice in jurious to the health of the community; and it is very questionable whether any regulations, short of prohibi tion, will materially amend the present state of things. It is no doubt possible to abolish private establishments of this kind, and to compel all parties to make use of those specially provided for the purpose; but as long as the practice itself is permitted within the precincts of towns, so long will it be a public nuisance, requiring removal. The views expressed on this subject, in the second re port of the Sanatory Commissioners, are very decided, and, we think, perfectly warranted by the facts of the case. The Commissioners state that— The effluvia arising from the blood and the entrails of animals, where recently slaughtered, renders the carry ing on of such business in the precincts of large towns incompatible with due sanatory regulations, even when the offal and filth are speedily and effectually removed. In scarcely one instance, however, in which shambles or slaughter-houses have come under the observation of the Commissioners, either in the metropolis or in provincial cities and towns, have there been found in force any regulations or authoritative supervision to compel the speedy and regular removal of offal from, or the efficient cleansing of such places. They have, on the contrary, been found to be, almost without exception, centres of the diffusion of noisome influences, affecting, with more or less intensity, the immediate vicinity, deteriorating the sanatory condition of the surrounding population, commonly poor and dense, as recorded in the local re ports of the Commissioners, and in a more remote degree vitiating the general atmosphere of the town, and thus becoming a nuisance to the inhabitants at large." It may be laid down as a general principle, that all the towns of England suffer more or less in this way ; and that a thorough change is needful. In the "Report on the Sanatory Condition of Bristol," it is stated, that— " Slaughter-houses in Bristol are scattered over the town without any special regulations. Very frequently they are situated in unventilated courts, and are,much complained of, both by medical witnesses and by the in habitants of the courts themselves." Dr. Reid, in his " Report on the Northern Cities and Towns," states that, — "Private slaughter-houses formed on the whole the most extreme subjects of complaint, and to such an ex tent do they prevail, and so little are they confined to particular sites, that one of the worst cases occurs in a central street in Newcastle, or, at least, immediately ad joining it." Dr. Reid further gives it as his opinion, that— "ln all drained and low-lying districts, slaughter houses very often, if not always, sustain a perpetual malaria around the neighbourin g habitations : they are a fruitful source of fever and other diseases. Similar evidence is given by Dr. Shapter in his report on Exeter. He says: "More inconvenience is suffered from the keeping of pigs and the nuisance of slaughter-houses; both these nuisances are most urgent, and prevail to a greater ex tent than is generally supposed, and by the poor obliged to live within their influence is much complained of. Cases frequently occur of serious fevers, nervous pains, and sickness of stomach, which they refer entirely to swallowing' bad smells from these resources." Similar evils also exist to a great extent in the Lanca shire towns. Dr. Lyon Playfair says in his report, that, from tho state of the law, "If these slaughter-houses be in private courts they are permitted to remain, however injurious to the in habitants, and in whatever state of filth they may be kept. Thus, in the township of Mancheiter alone, there are seventy-seven slaughter-houses (in many instances six or eight butchers killing at the same place); but all these are without regulations. In Bolton, for example, I fbund set eral courts in which the middens attached to the slaughter-houses were filled with the offal of the slaughtered animals, and had not been cleansed for at least two months. In other towns I have found slaughter houses below dwelling-houses, the smell in which was most insufferable, and in many of these dwellings the in habitants looked pale and sickly, and diarriasea fre quently prevailed, although absent from the courts con tiguous." The foregoing extracts will be sufficient to show the general bearing of the matter under consideration on the public health and comfort, but they do not comprehend all that is objectionable; for the commissioners state ' that " A second evil and nuisance, necessarily contingent upon the locality of slaughter-houses, however strin gently supervised and regulated, in the midst of large and populous towns, is the quantity of animal ordure deposited upon the public streets and thoroughfares leading to such slaughter-houses, which, besides forming a most offensive addition to the ordinary surface filth, excites and accelerates its decomposition. This evil is augmented in the ratio of the size of the town ; and where, as in London, most of the surface filth of the streets is washed down into the sewers, the continual passage of cattle, sheep, and pigs, in the neighbourhood of the intra mural slaughter-houses, must materially in crease the amount of that decomposing matter, the ema nations of which are constantly escaping from the un trapped gully-holes, to infect the atmosphere of the metropolis. Nor ought the occasionally fatal injuries, ' and the constant peril of life and limb incurred by the inhabitants of large towns, the streets of which are so frequently traversed by goaded and over-driven cattle, to be overlooked in an enumeration of the inevitable evils of slaughter-houses situated in the crowded parts of towns, and as strengthening the more general sanatory grounds for urging upon the Legislature the expediency of abo lishing them, and of establishing properly constructed ' )4 and efficiently regulated places for slaughtering cattle in hi the suburbs." In these opinions we entirely concur ; for we believe that nothing short of the absolute prohibition of - x4l slaughter-houses in towns will afford an adequate re medy. The poor, in this as in other things, are the chief sufferers ; and it matt ers littl e whether they be subject zd to nuisance from private shambles or public establish ments, for in either case the injury is inflicted. The situation of the public slaughter-houses in Liverpool renders them a source of great annoyance to the neigh bourhood, and it is not the less an offence against right 3, feeling that they are placed amidst the dwellings of the industrious classes. We have learned on competent authority that the noisome exhalations which proceed from them are found to produce the usual effects ob served in other towns, such as diarrheca, sickness, 334 nervous complaints, &c. ; an d persons suffering from xd these diseases have been obliged to change their resi ed dente before recovery could take place. The value of property has also, i n some i nstances , b een d eter i orated. 4 It is proposed by the Sanatory Improvement Act to limit the slaughtering of animals, for wholesale pur poses, to the public establishments. This will no doubt be a boon to those localities where there are private shambles, but it will increase the nuisance arising from the public slaughter-houses. Previous to the year 1809, the city of Paris had suf fered to such an extent from the existence of private shambles, that it was determined to abolish them entirely, and erect five vast abbatoirs beyond the boundaries of the city, and at nearly equal distances from each other. These abbatoirs are exceedingly well conducted, and re turn a revenue of between 40,090/. and 50,0001. a year. es They are described by an intelligent writer in the fel % lowing words The slaughter-houses, which are considered the nuisance and disgrace of the English metropolis, are s 'A placed in the outskirts of Paris, and under the inspection es of the police. The slaughter-house of Montmartre rivals B „ , r_ many of the public buildings in its external appearance. It is no less than 1,074 feet in length, and 384 in depth, 194 and is watered by sluices from the Ourcq. On entering r 4 it, the stranger perceives no disagreeable smell ; he wit nesses no disgusting sight, and often he would not sus pect the purpose to which the building is devoted. The English traveller should not fail to visit these useful ,r 4 edifices. lie will return with a wish to reform those nuisances, and abodes of cruelty, filth, and pestilence, which disgust him in the capital of his own country." The other abattoirs of Paris are—that of Menil montant, which is about 870 feet long by about 750 in breadth; the abattoir de Grenelle, about 600 feet long by 450; and the abattoirs of Ville juif and Roule, ____ which are somewhat smaller. In all of them there are certain great principles kept in view, namely, sufficient P e l ee , isolation from inhabited buildings—a spacious area— proper inspection—thorough cleanliness, and a large --supply of wat er . Wh en sanatory police is better understood in this country than it is at present, our public bodies will be more alive to the importance of this subject; and no better example could be followed then that afforded by the city of Paris.—Liverpool Health of Towns' Advocate.

GENOA, JAN. 17.—Mr. Cobden has been here for some days, and his presence has excited much sensation among the English and Genoese also. It was early de termined to follow the example set by so many other cities which he has visited, and invite him to a public dinner, which took place on Saturday last. A very re spectable party was mustered on the occasion, consider. ing the comparatively few English residents here, and also the character of the Genoese merchants in general, who, inheriting from a long line of ancestors sad prede cessors the same narrow monopolising spirit of gain, feel little sympathy for a cause and system which would promote a more general participation in com mercial advantages. The company, however, sat down to the number of about sixty•five, to a very showy Italian dinner in the splendid salle a wager of the Hotel Feder, at which hock and champagne Llowt d in abundance. The Marchese Alezio, a man well known in Italy for his patriotic liberality and literary talents, presided, having on his right Mr. Cobden, and on either side, the Marchese Balbi and his brother, the Marchese Raggi, &c., and the English, French, Spanish, Belgian, and other Consuls, with a number of the richest and most influential Genoese merchants, the English bring ing up all their forces. After the usual loyal and patriotic toasts, the French Consul, in a speech of great eloquence and warmth, proposed—" The Health of Mr. Cobden." Some surprise was expressed at hearing the seepresentative of a nation whose predilections in favour of freedom of commerce are, at all events, very recent, thus so openly . and publicly eulogise and advocate its cause and principles. The toast being drunk with accla mation, Mr. Cobden rose to reply:— " Gentlemen—Let me beg of you to accept my warmest thanks for this kind and hospitable reception, and still more, let me thank you for the sympathy you have ex pressed for the principles with which my name has been associated. The free-traders in England have only had one object in view—the removal of those restrictions which impede the progress of commercial intercourse between the different nations of the earth. We never entered upon the' field of party politics ; we abstained from all interference with the forms of Government ; we confined ourselves strictly to a question of economical science, which affects equally the prosperity and happi ness of every nation, whatever be its form of Govern• meat. For where is a Government that is not in terested in ruling over a rich, flourishing, and con tented people ? I look for the progress of free-trade in all countries, because it will promote alike the in terests of the governors and the governed. There is a great lesson to be learned by Governments—a lesson as yet learned by but two nations—which will teach them how to increase their revenues by lessening their cus toms duties, a process which augments th e p o p u l a ti on , wealth, and commerce of a nation, and thus increases its ability to contribute to the revenue of the State. I will give you a fact or two in Illustration of what I mean. The United States of America enjoy probably the most moderate tariff in the world. In that country nine tenths of the revenue is derived from the customs. In Eeglanel, where for the last quarter of a century we have been marching in the path of free trade, one-third of our enormous income is yielded by the customs. In France --which has yet to take the first step in the reform of its tariff—one-tenth only of the taxes is raised from this source. And in ;Spain, where the restrictive system reins, supreme, so small a fraction as one-thirteenth of the revenue is all that is raised at the custom-house. If I were to take other countries I could show, that in proportion as they depart from the principles of free trade, they diminish the resources of their treasury. Seeing, then, that the interests of the Governments and the people are identical in this matter, 4 feel confident in the extension of sound commercial principles every where. I need not remind you, gentlemen, that the removal of commercial restrictions must promote the interests of Genoa. Nature has given you a deep and capacious port i n a sea t h at i s not f amous f or goo d harbours. Your merchants possess capital and enter prise, your sailors have always been renowned for their courage, sobriety, and perseverance. Ido not forget that from amongst them sprung that great and daring genius who sail e d upon the discovery of a new world. You have all the elements of commercial greatness, and require only free scope for your energies to achieve the highest prosperity for your beautiful city— a prosperity which will be durable, because it is based upon principles of justice and humanity. At the conclusion of his address Mr. Cobden proposed —" Prosperity to the City of Genoa"—to which, after waiting in vain for some Genoese merchant to rise, the Marchese Balbi replied in a short and appropriate speech. The company separated about nine o'clock, and Mr. Cobden, ,with his wife, is proceeding immediately to Leghorn and Rome. It is suspected that Mr. Cobden was obliged to sub mit his speech to the authorities before he could deliver it. It will be observed how guarded and restricted it is in tone. TnE CASARIAN OPERATION.—The subject of this case, a dress-maker, aged s 7, of a mild disposition, is only four feet one inch in height on account of great distortion of the pelvis and lower limbs from rickets during childhood. Her general health is good. On the evening of the 7th of April, 1846, while under temporary excitement, she had con nexion once with a young man lodging in the same house. She was not aware of being pregnant until the seventh month, when she consulted a surgeon, who, conscious of her dangerous position, sent her to Mr. Skey, under whose care she was admitted into St. Bartholomew's Hospital. An ac curate examination was then made by several distinguished accoucheurs, who were unanimous in their opinion that em bryotomy would be impracticable on account of the extreme narrowness of the antero-posterior diameter of the pelvis. It was, therefore, recommended no operative proceeding should be adopted until the full period of utero-gestation ; and that the C*sarian section would then be the moat proper measure. The nature of the case being fairly and fully explained to the patient, she readily consented to undergo any operation which offered the best chance of relief. At two o'clock in the morning of the 25th of January she was awakened from sleep by the commencement of labour. The membranes gave way soon afterwards, and the pains increased. Mr. Skey, with several accoucheurs, made an examina tion per vaginam at half-past four a.m. The os uteri was at that time very little dilated. A second examination was made at half-past seven o'clock. The os uteri was still in the same condition, but the labour pains were rapidly in creasing. The operation was therefore no longer delayed. The vapour of ether was inhaled by the patient for six minutes before its affects were manifest, an incision eight inches in length was made down to the linen alba, commenc ing two inches above the umbilicus, and terminating two inches and a half above the pubes. The lines alba was then divided to the same extent on a broad director. The uterus was fairly exposed, inclining to the left. Adequate pressure over the front and sides of the abdomen was neces sary to prevent protrusion of the intestines. An incision from five to six inches in length was then made into the long axis of the uterus, from which a well-formed, healthy-looking female child was easily removed. The placenta was extracted shortly afterwards. Thus far the operation occupied six minutes. Immeliate contraction of the uterus to one-half its previous size followed the removal o f th e ch i ld. The free vencous hemorrhage which took place from its cut surface was arrested by cold water and pressure between the hands. In half an hour the uterus had contracted to such a size as to render its replacement within the abdomen safe. Accord ingly, with the sanction of Drs. Rigby, Fergusson, Moore, P. Smith, and others, the incision in the abdomen was brought together by eleven suture. Broad Strips of plaster were applied to support the muscles, and cotton wool placed on the abdomen with a flannel roller over the whole. It may be as well to obs?rcc that the inhalation of the ether pro duced insensibility to the p: in of the first incision. Its prolonged exhibition was not allowed, lest it might possibly interfere with the contraction of the uterus. —. Medical Gazette. SCOTTISH HOSPITAL. —A special meeting of this society was held on Thursday, at tl Clouse of the Scottish Hospital, in Crane.court, to consider a proposal which had been made by the Commissioners of Woods and Forests for the purchase of those premises, in order to form a site for the erection of a public r e cord-office. The proposal was favour ably received, and a committee appointed to negotiate with the Woods and Forests on the subject. The proceedings were very brief, and concluded with the election of a new member to the institution. MRS. BUTLER'S RETURN TO 111 E STAGE.—Man chester is believed to be selected by Mrs. Butler (late Fanny Kemble) for her re-appearance on the stage. The terms offered and accepted are exceedingly liberal. The first character in which Mrs. Butler will appear will be her origi nal one of Julia, in the Hunchback. MIDDLESEX HOSPITAL. —On Monday last, at tl .e Middlesex Hospital, the efficacy of the ether was put to as severe a test as it has yet bee n sub jected to. A man . of 68 had been admitted with symptoms of stone and diseased bladder; so much pain, strai nin g , an d struggling attended the attempts at sounding, that it was with difficulty satis factorily accomplished. The vesical tenesmus was incessant, amounting to total incontinence of urine. Endeavours were made for several weeks to allay this extreme irritability, so that some urine might be retained or some water received as an injection, but in vain, neither could be endured, lithotrity was consequently out of the question ; and Mr. Arnott de termined to perform the operation of lithotomy, unpromising as the case was, but, if possible, whilst the patient was under the influence of the ether. In seven raisutes from the com mencement, but in reality only two from the effectual in halation, its influence was obtained. The catheter was then introduced, and some water attempted to be injected , but not above two or thre e ounc e s could be borne, and this, re tained by press ure , was e j ec t e d i m mediately on the introduc tion of the st a ff, which, owing to the state o f p arts was ef fected with som e difficulty and conseq uen t delay ; the bladder 'Ryas cut into; th e stone was grasped at once, but crumbled ender the forceps, requiring their re-introduction several times; the scoop was employed to remove calculous matter like mortar; and, lastly, the bladder was injected four or five times, so as to wash it out. During the whole time,',from first to last, the pati en t gate est the s lightest indication of suf fering; indeed, it was not until he was removed to bed and had been some time in it, and taken some brandy and am. monia, that he did so, and then of soreness merely. Nor was the influence of the ether limited to this, its anodyne i h n eis g o ing n o lo n nt v io e n ry ed fa o y f o m ur o a r b e ly effect was maintained during the evening, the man reintiiir . ig in a dreamy and " very comfortable state," as he termed it. He declares he suffered no pain ; he knew that something was being done, but he recollects nothing distinctly " after blowing the horn."

ETHER APPLIED TO VETERINARY SCIENCE. —The vapour of sulphuric ether has, we hear, been employed at the Royal Veterinary College, Camden-town, on a sheep and a horse, with the most decided success.

The LoaD CHANCELLOR gave judgment this morning in this case, which was argued yesterday upon an appeal mo tion from the decision of the Vice-Chancellor of England. The suit was instituted for the purpose of perpetuating testi mony, and one oLject for which that perpetuation was sought having been attained, an application was made to the Vice- Chancellor of England to allow the publication of the depo sitions. Against that application,t,it was urged that it ought not to be allowed, inasmuch as those depositions were to be used in Ireland. The Vice-Chancellor of England ordered the publication of the depositions, and from that decision the parties appealed. His Lordship was clearly of opinion that the course pursued in the Court below was correct, and or dered the judgment to be affirmed with costs. His Lordship having disposed of the unopposed lunatic petitions in his paper proceeded to hear the further argu ments on the part-heard appeal of Morrison v. Morrison, which occupied the Court the whole morning. ROLLS" COURT, Jan. 27. WELLS V. DOL'iLAS. This was a cause which turned upon the construction of a will. It appeared that the testatrix (Mrs. Mary Leamar) be queathed her property to her sister during her lifetime, and after her demise to go in trust for the use of her first cousins (Mary Johnson, Swill Lovell, and Lucy Attey), to be paid to them " separate and distinct from their husbands, and at their decease to go to their children. The arguments having been concluded, His LORDSHIP delivered judgment. It was contended by the words "separate and distinct from their husbands, ikc." that a class of husbands had been created, and that the pro perty could not go to the children mentioned in the will, until the decease of all these husbands. But the meaning was clearly no other than if the adjective, " respective," had been used. It was also contended that the pronoun " their" could not correctly qualify the word " decease," unless it meant cotemporauecus demise. The construction was cer tainly most careless, but he thought the meaning obvious, and the same as the preceding period in question. On the whole, therefore, there could be no reasonable doubt as to the construction of the will. ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. MAGDALEN COLLEGE. The further hearing of this cause, which has been before the Court for some time, was postponed. VICE- CHA NCERY COURT, Jan. 28. ( Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLANIII.) His Honour the Vice• Chancellor of England took unop posed cause petitions, short causes, And cause petitions to day, none of which possessed any points calling for a parti cular report. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Jan. 29 , NORFOLK CIRCUIT. The following commission days were appointed this morn ing by the Learned Judges, appointed to the Norfolk Circuit during the Spring Assizes : Buckinghamshire—Monday, March 8. Bedfordshire—Saturday, March 13. Huntingdonshire—Wednesday, March 17. Cambridgeshire—Friday, March 19. Suffolk—Wednesday, March 24. Norfolk—Tuesday, March 30. City of Norwich—Same day. (Sittings in Banco. ) The Court was occupied nearly the whole of the day in hearing motions for new trials, none of which, however, pre sented any case of interest to Es public. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Jan. 28. FLOWER v. ROPER. This case was tried last week in the Bail Court before Mr. Justice Erle. It was an action brought by the plaintiff, who is an attorney in Chancery-lane, to recover 135/. from the defendant, who was a provisional committee-man of the Cheltenham, Gloucester, Stroud, and Southampton Junction Railway, for professional services which he had renders d to the company from October, 1845, to July, 1846. The jury found a verdict for the plain tiff fur 17/. 18s. 6d., by the rec,anmendation of the Learned Judge, who, however, considered it better that the verdict should be entered for the defendant, with leave to the plain tiff to move to enter the verdict in his favour. The defend ant had pleaded never indebted, and that no signed bill of costs had been delivered. The project was registered on the 15th of October, and the plaintiff was registered two days after as its solicitor ; but the company was subsequently amalgamated with another and their names were altered to the Liverpool, Gloucester, Devizes, Salisbury. and Southampton Junction Railway Com pany. Oa the 17th Nov. the defendant signed an acknow ledgment to become a provisional committeeman, on which day the defendant was at the board, at which the plaintiff acted as solicitor. On the 13th Dec. it was contended that another solicitor was appointed to act with the plaintiff, and it also appeared that the managing committee was appointed on that day, but their names did not appear. Mr. WOUDSIVORTH now moved to have the verdict entered for the plaintiff, and also for a rule to increase the verdict to 88/. 17s. Bd., that amount of professional labour by the plain tiff having been proved, commencing with the appointment of the committee on the 13th of December, to the end ofJuly, 1846, when it was contended that the plaintiff ceased to be the solicitor of the company. Mr. Justice Erle having consi dered that the committee was appointed on the 6th of Ja nuary, directed the jury accordingly. The Learned Counsel then read an affidavit, showing,that obstructions had been thrown in the way of the plaintiff's obtaining the minute-book and other papers for the purpose of proving his case. The Court granted a rule on the affidavits, but deferred their decision on the other points, they having intimated that they could not increase the damages to the amount sought. SECONDAitiE.s' Coo ni; Jan. 27. TIIE QUEEN V. LADY FRANC: S TWYSDEST. This was an - inquiry to ascertain of what property the de fendant was possessed of within the bailiwick of the city of London, under proceedings in outlawry, defendant having been " waived" or outl :wed. Evidence was adduced to show that defendant is entitled, under a marriage settlement, to the interest of 13,649/. ls. 3d. Three per Cent. Consols, but which was now paid over by the trustees to the United Kingdom Life Assurance Com pany, who had advanced money to Lady Twysden, by way of annuity. The July dividend was Odd over to the com pany, on the 3d of December. Defendant was also entitled to a sum of money in the Three per Cents. Reduced, and an interest in a mortgage for 6,000/. Mr. CAREW, the solicitor to defendant said, that he should be happy to assist in forwarding the inquiry, but as the legal adviser of Lady Twysden, he felt great difficulty in answering any questions. Mr. J. K. SMITHIES, who appeared on behalf of the Crown, said no questions would be asked as to any communications between him and his client. Mr. CARBW said that he received dividends in October last on the 2,0001. or 3,0001, but did not know the exact amount. Lady Twysden received interest during her life on the mort gage. The Learned SECONDARY said it would be better to adjourn the case fer more edecilic evidence. There could, however, be no doubt as to the interest under the settlement. The jury, under the direction of the Learned SECONDARY, returned a verdict as to the interest on that sum, the other matters standing open for further inquiry. PARKINS AND ANOTHER V. NOON. This was an action to recover the sum of 61. 12s. 710. for goods. Plaintiffs are cutlers at Sheffield, and defendant is a tradesman in the city. The amount was not disputed, the only question being whether the term of credit had expired under the custom of the trade, which was generally three months credit and a three months bill, but it was not an ab solute custom to take a bill, and three months having ex pired. The jury found for the plaintiff. fortunately able to fenrl it of, otbPrwi , ? migbf have killed her, she being at the time in a very delicate state. The prisoner was sentenced to a fine of Si., or one month's imprisonment. A young lady, who gave the name of Augustina Smith, milliner, was brought into court in a ball dress, with a white muslin petticoat wrapped about her head and shoulders. According to the evidence of Police• constable Bullett, 190 C, she came out of Madame Tussaud's ball, in Dean street, that morninw, about four o'clock, and began screaming so loud as to bring four pulicomen off their [Jews and a ser geant, who endeavoured unsuccessfully to quiet her. They were obliged to take her to the station- house, where it seems she several times attempted to commit suicide, and once nearly succeeded. The prisoner said that they kept some valuable articles of dress in the bathroom, and put her out without them. She was dismissed, with a lecure on the impropriety of her conduct. SOUTHWALK. Yesterday Inspector Yates, who was on duty at the sta tion-house, and entered the charge on the police sheet agiinst William Buy:field, the night porter at the Catherine Wheel inn, on suspicion of stealing 3001. from one of the guests,in his emdloyer's house, under the circumstances detailed in our police report of the preceding thy, at tended for the purpose of announcing the recovery of the complainant's pocket-book and its contents. Ile inspector was accompanied by Mr. Gunder, the landlord of the Cat he rine Wheel, and also by Barfield, the man charged with the offence, who was admitted to bail on the previous day until the next examination. The ins •ector stated that while on duty that morning at the station he received a message from the Phoenix Gas Works, on Bankside, and on proceeding thither he had a❑ interview with Mr. Munro, the manager of the wJrks, who irformed him that a pocket-book containing 300/. had been found by one of their men in the street, and handed over to him, and that it was then in his possession. The pocket-book and its contents were then exhibited to the inspector, who found in it a 1001. and four 501. Bank of England notes, together with several memoranda, and, on examining them, he at once saw that it was the pocket-book and property belonging to the gentle. man who had charged the night porter at the Catherine Wheel with stealing it while taking off one of his boots in that house. Mr. Edwin, the chief dell, inquired under what circum stances the money had been found? The inspector said that he was given to understand that a man named Wm. Cox, foreman to the above gas works, left home on Wednesday morning to proceed to Bankside, and that when he got about the distance of fifty feet from the Catherine Wheel, he kicked against something that was lying on the pavement, at the same side of the way, close to a coffee-shop near Adam's-place; that on picking it up he found it to be a nocket-book, and on opening it and finding Bank notes to a large amount inside, when he arrived at the gas works he immediately communicated the circumstance of the finding of the money to Mr. Munro, to whom he delivered up the property, and in whose possession it would remain until the next examination. Mr. Gunder said, he considered a great injustice had been committed by Mr. Skipper, the owner of the 300 L, in giving the night-porter of' the Catherine Wheel into custody on so serious a charge as that of stealing the money. He thought that his servant would have good grounds for an action for false imprisonment against the complainant, and that he (Mr. Gunder) and his friends would take care and furnish the ac cused with the money requisite to commence the proceedings to which he alluded. Mr. Edwin remarked, that the present was not the period to threaten an action, while the man might still be consi dered in custody, being liberated on bail, to answer at a future examination the charge preferred against him. He then proceeded to make the following inquiries of the in spector respecting the exact time at which the pocket-book and its contents were found in the street, as above des,:ribed ; from which it appeared that the accused was given into cus tody about a quarter before six o'clock on Wednesday morn ing, at the Catherine Wheel; that the policeman, with his prisoner, accompanied by Mr. Skipper, his friend Mr. West, and Mr. Gunder, the landlord of the inn, proceeded together from that house at the time mentioned, and on their way to the station-house, at the rear of this court, passed the very spot where the pocket-book with the 3001. in it was picked up by the man Cox at five minutes to six o'clock, being about ten minutes after the above parties had passed on their road to have the charge entered against the man accused of the robbery. From the inspector's statement, i t was evident the pocket-book wits dropped after the parties left the Catherine Wheel to go to the station-home; that Mr. Skipper, the owner of the money, a n d hi s f r i en d M r. W est, had not passed the spot previously, fur the) drove up in a c a b to th e gate of the Catheri ne Wheel yard, and on alighting imme diately went int* that house, showing that the former could not by possibility have dropped his money in the place where it was subsequently found. Mr. Gunder said, the night porter was searched by a policeman before they left the Catherine Wheel to proceed to the station-house, and that, therefore, he could not have been the person who had dropped the pocket-bo.,k in the situation where it was af'erwards found. lie added that he considered it incumbent to make some inquiries as to who and what Mr. Skipper was, and where he and his friend had been from the time of leaving the theatre until they arrived at the Catherine Wheel, at a quarter before five o'clock in the morning. Mr. Edwin said, there was no doubt that Mr. Skipper would have no objection in giving the desired mfortnation ; he was not, however, as yet informed of the circumstance of the finding of his money, but should be without loss of time, in order that he might attend on the day of the next exa• mination of the accused, when a searching inquiry would be entered into relative to tha extraordinary circumstances under which the pocket-book, containing the 3001., was found. WORSHIP-STREET. James Easton, Richard Mullins, William Mattin, and James Key, lads, belonging to the union workhouse of the parish of Shoreditch, were charged with stealing a-quantity of old iron, the property of the trustees of the parish of Shoreditch, and Thomas Barton, an occasional pauper, was also charged with aiding and abetting them in the execution of their design. Mr. Thomas, the master of the workhouse, said that from information he had received, he set a watch upon the actions of the first four prisoners,. who were inmates of the house, and - subsequently they were perceived ono by one removing from au outhouse pieces of iron; consisting of screws, &c., to another portion of the premises. As soon as had been collected what was supposed sufficient for their bag, the latter was filled, and ene of them got over the wall which leads to the street, another of them got on the top thereof, and to him was handed the, bag, which was immediately let fall into the other lad's arms, but the weight of the bag knocked him down. At this moment the prisoner Barton, who was on the outside of the wall, gave a shrill whistle, to intimate to the others that they were being watched. They were all immediately taken into custody. The first four prisoners said, each of them, that they had not " grub " enough allowed them in the workhouse, and they were going to sell the iron fe procure some. Barton said he knew nothing whatever of the other pri soners. He had been relieved at the workhouse, but they had put him to break stones, which he was unable to de, as one side of him was paralysed. The MAGISTRATX decided that the first four prisoners should be sent to prison for embezzling the said property, and that Barton should be discharged, and directed that the officers should take him to a medical man, in order that it might be seen what would be the most proper work for him to do. ~, ~~~. will etti els c ere t att] /4, 4 Uftll ~Y I .3.0 4 11'1 tht %al Mit '41 114 litt
