THZ LATE TRAGEDY AT WA.RLEIGS. Since the inquiry before the coroner relative to the murder of Andrew Border and his wife, the prisoner, Thomas Miller, has been gradually recovering from the wounds he inflicted upon him self, and it was expected that in the course of a few days he would be able to be removed and undergo an examination before the magistrates. In order, however, to avoid the excitement of a police court it was determined to conduct the investigation at the residence of the prisoner, and accordingly, on Tuesday last Mr. P. C. Sheppard, a county magas trate, proceeded to Warleigh and took the deposi tions; in the prisoner's bed-room, in which he was lying. Mr. Skrine, of Warleigh-house, accompanied by Mr. Phelps, his solicitor, was. present but took no part in the proceedings. Mr. Slack, solicitor, o f Beth, was present on behalf of the prisoner. All the witnesses, who gave evidence at the inquset were again examined, in addition to the prisoner's mother, who until to-day was too un elt to undergo an examination. She gave her e vicleuce in a collected manner and without the least indecision. Her name is Elizabeth Miller, and, being sworn, she deposed, —I am the wife of Thos. Meter. The prisoner is my son. He is 27 years of lig He has never been addicted to drinking, nor have I noticed anything wrong about his state of mind further than that after he has been reading I have heard him remark that he felt his head rather light on the top. On the night of Friday preceding the murder I had no rest in consequence of the state he was in. Ho appeared to think there was seine one fighting with him all the night. 1 thought he was going to have a fever. He said the Philietines were coming to him. I sat by his side all the night, and whenever I went away for a mo ment he called me back. He got up between 6 and 7 o'clock, and I gave him some tea. He seemed much better afterwards. I then went to the Shepherd's-farm, having business there during the day ; before I went I toll Mrs. Hancock to send for me if she observed my son to be worse. Daniel 11, neock cameto me in the afternoon and said Thomas was very bad. I came home at 5 o'clock and gave him some tea. I then made preparations for him to put his feet in hot weather, and when I was up stairs getting the wat,T ready this circumstance happened. As I was upstairs I heard the door open and ties a scream. I ran downstairs as fast as pos sible ; but when I got down I found no one in the kit hen. The scream I heard appeared to be that of a inan. I rushed out of doors, and as I got to the door I fancy I touched some one's coat. It was quite dark, and I could not tell who it was. I think it was Tom. The door was wide open. When I got out of the door I saw that some one had fallen down on the pathway, and I called to Daniel Han cock to come out t 3 see who it was. It was the body of Mts. Border. She was lying alacut 3 yards from the door. Mrs. Hancock brought a light, and sai t, " Why, here is Mrs. Border lying on the ground !" Mrs. Border neither spoke nor moved. I went into Bradfield's house, and remained there until my son was found. After my son was got into bed I reeurned home. My husband remained in bed all night, and asked me on the following morning what the noise was about. I said that Tom had been ill. The knife produced belongs to my son, and was usually kept in the kitAien window. I did not see the knife that even ing. I never knew my son speak in any angry way in. eeard to the Borders. I had not heard him men tion their names for some time. My son was a very saving young man, and had some money in the save igs-bank. The moneyfound in the box belongs to me. I think there was 921. in the box. He was always a good and dutiful son to me. By Mr. Slack.—lle was as harmless as a child ; he acted. remtimes more like a child than a man. My hus band was not capable of taking care of the money, as ho has not been right in his mind during the last 9 yeer4. He is now in the lunatic ward of the work use, ho was removed there a few days since. By Mr. Williams, magistrates' clerk.—l don't know whee caused my husband to become insane ; he lost sour; money about 24 years ago. He has told me three or four times that he had attempted to com mit suicide; on one occasionhe tried to drown him self at Dundee , . The depositions having been read over to the prisoner, who was cautioned in the usual ay, he made no reply, Mr. Slack advising him to say nothing. The prisoner was then fullycommitted for trial. The magistrate (Mr. Sheppard) declined to wake any order at present respecting the money standing to the prisoner's credit in the Bath Savings-bank (471. 3s. Bd.) or the 921. found in the hones. Mr. Edwards, surgeon, stated that he could not give a certificate for the removal of the prisoner until the following day. HULL FLAX AND COTTON MILL COMPANY. ARREST OF THE LATE CHAIRMAN FOR FORGERY. HULL BANKRUPTCY COURT.—OcT. 21. (Before Mr. Commissioner West.) RE HENRY S. BRIGHT. This was a meeting for the choice of assignees and pro , f ofdebts. Messrs. England and Saxelbye, and IVlc2srs. Stamp and Jackson appeared for the as - Mesas. Wellsand Smith fo r th e b ankrupt. Mr. Wells stated that there were several appli cati )ns for the payment of wages to be proved. Ocher debts were also proved. The total amount proved this day was 101,4371. 18s. 2d. In addition to a few small proofs which we need not give, the as:;ignee 3 of Messrs. Harrison, Watson, and Co., roved on 86,107/. ; Messrs. Samuel Smith, Bro thers, and Co., 11,8121. ; the Governor and Com pany of the Bank of England, 567/. lls. Bd. ; Ailesrs. Pease and Liddell, 1,2411. 12s. ld. The trade assignees chosen were Mr. John R. RinnTose and Mr. Elijah Meggitt. Air. England said he consented, on behalf of the assignees, to the bankrupts' allowance continuing. H also intimated that he had to examine the bank rani; on one or two matters. Mr. Wells—The bankrupt is in attendance. Ilis Honour—Where, in the room ? Mr. Wells—ln the room adjoining. His Honour (to Mr. England)—Do you with the ox,ipivation to be private ? Mr. England—lf you please. His Honour and Messrs. England and Saxelbye and other gentlemen then proceeded to an adjoin ing room, where the bankrupt underwent a private em,Anination ; and, at the close, as was anticipated, it was determined that a charge of forgery should be preferred against the bankrupt. As soon as the examination was over Mr. M‘Mantrs, the chief con stable,. went into the room and took the bankrupt into custody, a warrant having been issued for his apprehension. Mr. Bright was brought into the police-court at 3 .'elock, and took his place in the prisoner's dock, the solicitors, assignees in the case, and other gen tlemen, having previously assembled. Mr. England (addressing Mr. Travis) said—May it please your honour, the prisoner before you is w,ll known as Henry Smith Bright. He has re ca..tly become a bankrupt, and on behalf of the as:3ignees of his estate I am directed to prefer ag tinst him a charge of forgery, in the endorse ment of six bills of exchaur, and also with utter ing those bills with a guilty knowledge of their being forgeries. I produce the first of those bills, and. shill then call Mr. Payne, the registrar of the urt of Bankruptcy, to put in evidence of the exa mination that hats been taken to-day, and Fhall then ask you for a remand. Mr. Samuel Payne was then sworn. Mr. England (to witness)—Do you produce the Nt.rAten examination of the prisoner taken in the (A,urt of Bankruptcy this day Witness—Yes. Thin is it (the examination was here produced). It was taken before Mr. Comreis- Ei r West, and signed by Mr Bright, inthe Court of Bankruptcy. Mr. Trays (to Mr. England)—Do you propose, that it should be read now Mr. England—No, sir ; 15h311. exhibit to you the bills in the order that they ni.3y he nizrked to fit.ilitate investigation. (To the witness)—Will you be kind enough to look at these bills, and say whe th ic they are those that have been produced before tb :'eomnsiss'oner during the exzmination. of the v" Itcrupt, W itness (having examined the bills) —Yes, they a T r t e , e !'''''Pect.ively marked A, B, 0, D, E, and F. Y are the bills of eferred to in the examination taken thi s Bright before Mr. Com- ini•si-iner West, in the M a r: of Bankruptcy. Mr. England stated that u 'l ' forgtry with which th,) prisoner was now charo.tedlewkastiiat of entering a lapse name upon the bill' m Formal proof the prccee ar dit e ig d s iAu bankruptcy having been given, Mr. England applie I for a remand, a l inecciodngasaui said t P t e h r e" haps Mr. Travis would allow them c ,nvenience of the registrar in fixing o t Some discussion ensued as to which woulT . be the most convenient day, and as it was considered that it would be the better course to remand the case until Wednesday, Mr. England asked for a remand to that day. Mr. Wells asked wliat there was to prevent the examination and other proceedings in the Court of Bankruptcy from bring then read. If the applica tion Was granted by the Court, his client m i ght be kept i n pr i son for seven days. If the examination were now read ' m his client. it might not be necessary to com - Mr. Travis--Ther e is now an information on oath, before meef .forgery having been committed. Mr. 'Wells—B u t _b Y an adjournment my client may be detained in Prison seven days. I do ittot, however, object to seven or fourteen days, if bail is granted. Further conversation here took place relative to fixing the time for the adjournment. Mr. England, in answer to Mr. Travis, stated that they had evidence to collect from London and other parts for the prosecution, and it would re quire a remand to Wednesday. Mr. Wells asked if the court intended to fix the adjournment to Wednesday. He should have liked a shorter period than a week. Mr. Travis said he had just received intimation that there was another charge to be preferred against the prisoner. Mr. Wells then applied for the prisoner to be admitted to bail. Mr. Travis—l decline to grant it, unless you show me a reason why I should do so. Mr. Wells urged that he required a full opportu nity for conferring with his client. If bail were fixed his client would come to the court on the day to which the case might be remanded. He was not asking for anything unusual. Mr. James Holden (who had just entered the court) here said—Now it becomes my painful duty, and very grievous duty it is, to prefer a charge against Mr. Bright, and I may state that never in any case have I appeared with feelings of greater grief to myself than I do now preferring against him the very grave charge to which I shall draw your atten tion. The charge against him is the very serious one of forgery, and that to a very large amount. How ever, at present, I shall only ask for a remand, and lay before you such evidence as is requisite for that purpose. The late Mr. Taylor, of Hull, who was the partner of Mr. Bright, had a number of railway shares, and his son, Mr. R. I. Taylor, had also some shares in his name, and up to some few days ago, he (Mr. R. Taylor) had every reason to believe that those shares were in his father's and his own names. However, Mr. Taylor went to York the other day to make inquiries at the office of the York, Newcastle, and Berwick Railway, and to his surprise and grief he found a transfer of those shares had been made. Both his own name and the name of his father had been written on them ; but he be lieved that both tho.4e names were forgeries. Those siguatures had been witnessed by Mr. Bright. Mr. Taylor, he went on to say, had not had time to make further inquiries respecting those shares, but he would put him into the witness-box, and would then ask for a remand to enable the parties tocome from York with the documents, and then prove to you how far the charge against Mr. Bright can be sub, tantiated. Mr. Holden then called Mr. Robert I. Taylor, who, after being sworn, said—The late Mr. J. Taylor was my father ; he is now dead. He had some shares la the York, New castle, and Berwick Railway ; I had also some shares. My father had 144 and I had 58 shares. I proceeded to York within the last few days, and went to the secretary'soffice to examine the transfer deeds. The transfer deeds conveyed shares. Mr. Travis objected to the evidence. (To wit. raess)—From what you have heard, you believe that your name has been forged ? Witness—Yes. By Mr. Ayre—l am satisfied that the shares have been transferred by a forged document. The name of the witness to the document was H. S. Bright. Cross-examined by Mr. Wells—These shares were my father's property. They were not the partner ship property of Taylor and Bright. I cannot swear th4t the shares which were mine were not the part nership property of Taylor and Bright. By Mr. Travis—As understood by me, the whole of the shares were my father's own property. Mr. Wells—l am instructed to the contrary. Mr. Travis—That must be matter for evidence. Mr. Wells applied then for bail, but Mr. Travis declined to take upon himself the responsibility of granting it. During some remarks which followed, Mr. Payne stated that Mr. Wells should have copies of the examination of Mr. Bright in the Bankruptcy Court. Mr. Eugland said every facility would be afforded to Mr. Wells in conducting the defence for the pri soner. Mr. Wells—Then am I to understand that I shall have every facility afforded for the inspection of the papers and other documents ? Mr. England—Yes. Mr. Payne said if it was thought desirable he would give an order to that effect. Mr. Sa,xelbye—We will undertake, on behalf of the a,signees, that he shall have free access to his books. Mr. Travis then remanded the prisoner until Wednesday next, and stated that it would not be taken in the ordinary course on that day, but as early as the arrangements of the court would allow. The prisoner then left the dock, and was removed to the gaol in a cab. The following letter has been addreised by Mr. Bright to the shareholders in the Hull Flax and Cotton Mills Company " So lately as March last you were pleased to pass a vote of thanks to me and nay colleagues, fur our services up to that period. On Thursday, the Ist instant, at your special meeting, you requested me to withdrawfrom the roam and take no part in the proceedings, though you had allowed me to be present during the reading of a repart full of one-sided and unfair comments upon me. " What has occurred to induce this change of con duct I So far as you knew, all was running smooth, until you received the circular dated the 17th September, summoning you to a meeting of the company, to give your consent to a voluntary winding up of your affairs. " At this meeting the three remaining directors (Mr. Hassell and myself having resigned) presented you with a report, which, from the length of time taken in its pre paration, may be presumed to have received their full and care ul consideration. " Wita consummate tact and coolness this document ignores tue operations of the company for years gets by,' and very conveniently prefers to confine itself ex clusivcl: to 'the recent causes which hare operated to produce the ultimate suspension of the company.' In plain Eiglish, the possession of a large sum of money by myself is the one single cause recognised in the report, and it is with reference to this subject that I feel called upon to trespass upon your time and attention. "M• official csmnexion with your company is of very recont late. In the spring of 1853 I was requested by a depttation of your body, and by your then chief manager (Hr. Rylands) to supply the vacancy at the board, occasioned by the resignation of Mr. John Bowes. It wa ,, with great reluctance that I yielded to many pressieg eutreatits, and hardly taken my seat as a diree tor, aid had certainly no opportunity for in igbt into your effairs, when Mr. Rylands was removed by death. I had, however, seen sufficient to confirm the general opinion that the directors of that board were regarded as more cyphers, to be consulted or not as the ch.ef manager might think proper ; and consequently, sur prise was lessened when—on our being summoned to gether after his decease—l found orders out for cotton in Anerica and in India, with mercantile engagements almoA to afabuloneamount, in every quarter of theglobe. of th•extent of which theboard was utterly ignorant ; and it is capable of proof that the decisive course I then re cornnended, namely, the cancelrnent of every ()Her, where evir, or with whomsoever it might be, saved you from a loss of fully 50,0001. "With the subsequent arrangements for the manage ment of your affairs you are of course acquainted, but as regard: may share in them you must excuse my shortly trespass rig upon your patience. My own business en glgements were no sinecure, and it was only after much solicitation from each individual member of the board, and more especially from the representatives of the late Mr. Rylands, that I consented to take the active part which, up to a very recent period, I have continued to exercise. " Nor did I yield to these solicitations until I obtained the c:msent of the board to the oppointment of an officer —who ought certainly to have been empl.yed from the formation of your company, I mean an accountant—who should stand between you and the boards. I urged that the extent of your business called for the employment of a c;entlernan in whom you could have confidence, and where salary should be so liberal as to ensure a regular and proper attention to the books of the company, which, as I then stated, it was beyond my power to overlook. - Ultimately Mr. Carlill was appointed, at a salary of 100/. 1 e annum, this high remuneration being fixed in order to ensure constant and efficient superintendence in this f s t a th t he i s e f e fio dor books, , i a t tc h t ao t tu h ine accountants te i F e : nfi n existing n London, o tat e o f with correspondenceth matters, afvi eawsw with so dissatisfied In the early part of the present year I felt t c cu ar e ddi ? ss eery . formation .. of the company (including— cbtain a more complete examination of them the &c.)—than had yet p u r c hase them—from the empicioue circumstances connected with the a aed sailieg of ship, &c., I aid before you ; and I only regret that I did not carry e" but my inventions and engage the party—but I merel postponed the intention . nntil later in the year. I men. y tion it now rt erely as evidence that I was not afraid my o.en account being examine''. "Another matter, which occurred about the same period, m ay enable candid minds to draw a similar con- clus'es—l mean my resignation, which thus arose. With the gro , ving inattenti o n to the business of the centime) , on the, part of Mr. Joßb. Ryland?, his purchase f ship =, ex'ended mercantile, oF erations, supercie self-sufficient, directors, cifice staff, and or:Anary customers, as also 14+ and impai tirlent deportme nt towards th . e evident desire and intention tj control the board with the same iron rule his father had done before him, I had month by m on th b ecome more and more dissatisfied. Nor w ere my oeileagues less panfully alive to this vf un expectedis 3 state of matters ; so that I do not suppose it placed my chairman surprise to them when, about 9 months ago, I resignation in the hands of the deputy (with whom previously (Capt.

When I was first informed of what at il l r suspected,' as to money being d ue from m . et o Rylandsth e company, I indignantly denied it; and when nithe THE STJIN, LONDON, FRIDAY occasion of my other colleagues visiting me at Bridling• ton—they named a large sum, I stated, as I then be lieved and still believe, that it was impossible, for I knew well how frequently I had advanced the company large sums (and my colleagues knew it also), and I felt sure there must be some radical error in the company's books. " I was then so racked with pain as to be unfit for any attention to business ; but I volunteered that my clerk should give any information Mr. Carlill might wish. This was done ; but I left Bridlington in an invalid's carriage sooner than I otherwise should have done, in order to attend to so important a matter myself. I had already asked Mr. Carlill to let me have the company's statement of account, and quite expected to find it ready for me. It was not, however, completed ; but a clay was named when it should be given to me. I had my office books brought to my private residence, where I was still ill ; but when the day came no account was forthcoming. Over and over again did I press for this document, stating distinctly that I was ready to pay any balance that on examination iv might show against me. That, account I never got nor have yet received it. "It now turns out that there were private and vin dictive reasons fer this gross neglect of duty—for so I must call it—when I know that it had been furnished, and had presented the appearance assumptively stated by the accountant, arrangements could have been made for the liquidation or security of the balance which my subsequent misfortunes render impracticable ; but that did not suit the purposes of those whose counsel pre vailed at the board. It wag the policy and incsutious'y expressed intention of ;Mr. Josh. Rylands to get rid of me, and for two reasons : Ist, Because I had frustrated a barefaced attempt on his part to get the board to re lease his family from all responsibility as regarded the shares held by his late father; and 2nd, Because he found I adhered more and more strongly to the opinion repeatedly expressed, that the sooner our company aban doned the existing mode of business—which involved engagements all over Europe upon a large borrowed capital—and adopted the sure, sound, and legitimate one pursued by the Kingston Cotton Mills, the earlier we should be relieved from our financial difficulties. To see this done I was pledged to the bankers ; but its carry ing out would have relieved our company from any de pendence upon the name of Rylands. So that to have me out of the way became an important point. Had I re mained in health, the alteration I allude to would have been carried out, and, with the knowkdge and approval of three of my colleagues, I was then in correspondence with influential Lancashire parties, with every prospect of getting them to take a considerable pecuniary in terest and share in the management. But for my ill ness, your mills would have gone on and have been re modelled ; but my owing money to the concern, as as serted, was taken unfair advaotsge of in my absence. The result you know. "In conclusion, I have for four years toiled day and night with a single eye to our common interest—the improved condition of the mills. I have done so to the serious and—it proves—ruinous neglect of my own business, and against the advico and remonstrance of many good friends, whose counsel I had done well to follow. During this period I have never drawn one shilling of the salary you voted for your chairman. I have found money repeatedly to keep the mills in opera tion, and have repeatedly—nay, continually—made my firm responsible for thousands upon thousands of pounds. I boldly challenge any director to contradict me, when I assert that but for me, and the financial resources I commanded, the mills would have stopped long ago. I have notes before me, from each member of the board, which sustain this appeal, and three-fourths of them are too honourable to deny it. Surely, surely, as men and as gentlemen they should have given me the account I asked for, and if a balance proved due (which is not proved yet) then have treated me as they judged correct and proper. "Under present circumstances you will do well to %vied up your affairs in the way recommended by the board ; but I trust those who have this duty to perform will take care not to let your valuable property pass away for an old song." POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—Oct. 22. MANSION-H OUSE. — CHumiRATES.—Mr. John L. Burgon, of 35, Bucklerebury, appeared to a summons which called up , 11 him to show cause wby he refused to pay a church rate of Si. 2e. 6d., alleged to be due to the churchwardens of St. Benet, Sherehog. The defendant has been summoned for a church-rate alleged to be due to the parochial authorities of Sr. Binet, Sherehog, for several years past, and has on those ocnsions stated that his ri fusal to pay it arose from con scientious object;ons. He has, however, paid the amount upon being served with the usual legal order. The Lord-Mayor—Mr. Burgon, do yuu dispute the validity of the rate ? _ _ Defendant—l certainly do object to the rate, because a church rate, to be legal, ought necessarily to include a charge for the repairs of the building, which is not the case with the present rate. The Lord Mayor—l understand that there is no church in the parish, and has not been siLce the Great Fire. The parish in which the premises are situated, is that of St. Benet, Sherehog, which is now united with St. StThen Walbrook. Defendant—l rely on the objection I have made to the validity of the rate, but I have also objections of a conscientious character. The Lord Mayor—lt appears to me that you must either pay or to the Ecclesiastical Court. Defer_dantL. - I thought it was the duty of the tnagia trate to settle this question. Ido not want to go to the Ecclesiasiml Court because I believe that that court 'was instituted for the purpose of ruining individuals. The Lord Mayor—l agree with you, there, to a cer tain extent. I find that it is not necessary that you should go to the Eo,clesiaitic.,+l Court ; it is for them to go there; you are not to take the initiative. Defendant—Taking that to be the eae, I dispute tha validity of the rate, because, instead of its being a rate for the npaire of the church, it is to pay the sextoness, the organ blower, the tuner, the insurance, the clerk, and the vestry clerk. Our vestry clerk is an ex3ellent, polite, and attentive man. I asked him whether these were legal charges, and he said they were not. (Laugh ter.) Toe Lord Mayor--With the opinion of a high autho• rity like that in your favour, I should think be would advise the churchwardens not to take you to the Eccle• siastical Court. The question is would they drag you there ? Defendant—l should hope not. Tne Lord Mayor—Tbe act of Parliament says this, " That if the validity of such rate or the liability of the person from whom it is demanded to pay the same be diiputed, and the party disputing the same give notice thereof to the justice, the justice shall forbear giving judgment thereon, awl the person demanding the same may then proceed to tik e recovery of his demand accoria ing to due course o! liw." Will you state formally your grounds for disputing the validity of the rate ? Defendant—l dispute the validity of the rate, because it contains certain items which are not properly included in a church-rate, and I am leghlly advised that I am not The Lord Mayor—lf you assign some formal reason fur disputing your liability, a magistrate cannot decide the question. The case is done with here entirely, and if they choose to snf Toe a rate for the repairs of a church which has not existed since the Fire of London, they must go to the Ecclesiastical Court. Uorlsr these cir cumstances I of course decline to adjudicate. The summons is dismissed. The defendant bowed and retired, evidently abundantly satisfied with his lordship's decision. GUILDHALL.—CHARGE OF EMS3ZZLE3MENT.—Leon Thomas, a young Frenchman, in the employ of Messrs. Lee, and Co., of Wood-street, Cheapside, as tra veller, was brought up, charged with einhezzling various sums, amounting to nearly .50/., the moneys of his masters. Mr. Lewis, jun., attended for the prisoner. James Wells, cashier to the prosecutors, said it was the prisoner's duty to receive moneys on account of his employers, and after retaining sufficient to cover his ex. Lenses, to forward lists of the amounts rec_ived, with a portion of the gross amount of cash, and to account for tle balance upon his return from each journey. Witness had received information that 11/. 17s. had been receives from Mr. Heart tone, of Nottingham, by the prisoner, and upon his return from the journey witness asked him to account for all he had received during the journey. He accordingly gave in his book, but neither that nor the periodical list contaiced any account of the 11/. 17s. Witness had also received information that a sum of 161. 15a., received from Mr. Perrin, of South arop'on, bad not been accounted for. Sergeant Funnell, of the detective force, said when he took the prisoner into custody and told him the charge, he said he was very sorry f it, but that if the prosecu tors had waited, his friends would have made np the amount. The prisoner then directed him to go to his lodgings, where he said witness would find a book con taining entries of all the money he had embezz . ed. Wit ness accordingly went to his lodging', and there found the book, which clearly showed the mode in which the prisoner h td acted. A remand was here applied for. Mr. Lewis said he could have no objection to such a course, but he complained of the sharp practice of the pr secutors in giving the prisoner into custody imsne diately afts.r he had been celled on to render an account. It he had only been allowed a reasonable time, his friends, who were highly respectable, would have c a me forward and paid the money, bad it been four times Il l s amount. It was quite clear the prisoner had been al lowed a certain latitude in r:taining money for ins ex penses, and under those circurnstaucc.s he thought it was too sharp to put him into custody immediately upon nis return from the journey. 11'3 trusted the worthy alder man would consider it a case for bail. Str G. Carroll said he 3 uld ri(ut accept boil for the prisoner, who was accordingly remanded iu custody tili Aouday xrux'. MARLBOROUGII-STREET.—Buitorar.Y.--B e r ja min Dickenson and Henry Parker were lirought bef.,re Mr. Bingham, for final e Anaination, charged with bur glary. M. Monigci Lamorini, whose evidence wag interpre!ed by Mr. Albert, No. 6, St. Martin':-court, coffee-house kteper, stated that, on Wednesday, be retired to be I, leaving his house secure. About three o'clock in the morning he was awakened by two policemen, who told him that his house bad been entered by thieves, and that a quantity of property, consisting of sheets and table cloths, hau been packed up ready to he carried off. Ile got up, and on looking about the premises found that dome of the doors had marks of violence on them, which had been made by a knife found afterwards on Parker, who had taken it from the prosecutor's kitched. Police-constable Shandley, 203 C, said be was on duty on Wednesday, about two in the morning ; knowing the prisoners to be bad characters, he watched and saw tLein EVENING, €ICTOEER 23, 1857. go into the Hambro' coffee-shop, where they made a short stay, and then came out again. He then saw Dickenson waiting about St. Martin's-court, and pre. sently he met the prisoner Parker coming from the court, holding his hand in the breast of his waistcoat. He asked Parker what he was doing there ? The prisoner replied he had just had a row with his wife. He asked Parker what he had in his breast ? The prisoner said he bad nothing, He pulled the prisoner's hand out, and found he had a large sharp pointed knife in it. He took the prisoner into the court, and on looking about be saw tlae door of No. 14 open, and on examining the passage he found a large bundle packed up close to the street door. He compared the marks on the door with the knife, and found that they c..rresp nded. He lodged Parker in the station-house, and afterwards took Dick enson info custody. On searching Parker a pair of studs were found. Edward Murray, clerk to the prosecutor, said the studs were hips property. They had. been taken from a drawer in the front kitchen. Mary Joyce said the linen in the bundle be'onged to her waster, and it had been taken from the kitchen and other rooms.

Police-constable Cooper, 67 D, deposed that on the previous afternoon, about 4 o'clock, the prisoner, with his father, came to the John-street station-house, when the former said, " I wish to give myself up." Witness asked him what for, and the answer he gave was, " I have been fighting with a man, and I understand he has since died. I stood the same chance as he did, and am very sorry for what has occurred." The prisoner here covered his face with his hands, and shed tears. Mr. Long (to witness)—What more have you to state? Witness—l locked the prisoner up on the confession which he had himself made. I afterwards went to St. Mary's Hospital, and there ascertained that the poor man who fought with prisoner was dead. Sergeant Silvester, 4 11, stated that, on the previous morning, at 7 o'clock, as he was on duty in the Harrow road, Paddington, he saw a great number of persons hastening towards the fields.

SOUTHWARK.—A DISCHARGED INDIAN SOLDIER. —James Devine, a middle-aged man, et swarthy corn ploxion, who had served fourteen years in the :radian army, and who appeared in a wretched condition, was charged with stealing a watch and a pair of booh, the property of Mr. George Allard, the landlord of the White Hart Tavern, Borough-market. The prosecutor stated that the prisoner was his cousin, Lu:, almost a stranger to him, he never having seen him mere than twice. On the 1.2. th Sept. he cline to his house, and stating that he wanted shelter for the sight, be gave him a good supper and a bed, but on the fdlow ing morPill, in return for his kindness, he decampel with a silver watch, worth V., and a pair of booth. He saw nothing more of Linn until the previous night, when be found him outside his house, and gave him into cus tody. Prior to that, however, the prisoner sent in the following letter : .. " Deal- George, I have most shamefully abused your good nature, and do not know what could have tempted me to do so. I have been miserable ever since, and have tried ray best endeavours to get money enough to get back your watch, but without success. I am, however, determined to do what I can to get it for you. I; is pawned for 1/ , but I have destroyed the ticket, %nd shall have to make a declaration before a magistrate to morrow. You will think this strange of me to ask you for some assistance, but necessity and the wish to do Sou all the justice I can makes me do so. I cannot walk the streets any longer, or I would not ask you for this ; and I beg of you, for the sake of our parents, to forgive ae, and you shall not find me ungrateful. But if you deter mine to prosecute rue, you will find me outside, on the opposite side of the street. Do not doubt the honeEty of my intentions, as I assure you that you are the fist person I ever wronged, and you shall be the last. If y ou will not comply with what I ask, I have fully made no my mind to end my existence ; but if you agree to what I want, I will some day make you all the amends in my power. —From your wretched cousin, Jas. Davrsx." Witness added, that when he went out the prisoner asked him to give him 24. to procure him shelter and food for the night ; but be told him th a t h e b a d acte d in such an ungrateful manner be should give him into cut )dy, Ile, ho wever, had no wish to punish him severely. Mr. Burnham asked him how long ho hat known the prisoner ? MI-. Allard replied, only since he had returned Iron India, and that waA 110.1 r two years ago ; but he had only seen him twice. Mr. Burnham asked the prisoner what regiment he had served in. He replied the 32J. He was in it 15 years, and during that period he was in India 14 years, when he was sent home invalided. Mr. Burnham asked whether he had a pension when he was was discharged from tha service. rep'ied that he had, but it was very email, and expired at the end of the year. Mr. Burcham asked him whetkir he had seen much service in India. He answered that he had, and was with Sir C. Napier in several parts of India, when they hal rough' work to do. He had held the rank of sergeant, but got reduced through being absent. Mr. Durcham told him that, whatever might have been his sufferings, he had committed an ungrateful robbery on his cousin, who was almost :s stranger to him and had trzated him with great kindness, and in return he stole his watch and a pair of boots. Would prison ,, that he w as gu ilt y , an d h e hoped he be tried by or go to th e sess i ons ? The his wor hip wolld deal with him. He was certainly sorry for whit 63 had done, but it was through neces sity. His cousin was the first person he had ever wronged, and he should be the last. after peru s i ng the letter which he bad Mr. Burchaw hoped that w h at h e had stated was g , e n o t u i t n o e I ; iis an c d o ' usin, anti from his hebaviour afierwards, he had reason tc believe it was ; therefore the punish ment he was about to ii,fiict on him would be very lenient. He had served his country is distant parts for inai-y years, and no doubt had to put up with disease mid great hardships, under a burning sun, and taking these circumstances into consideration, he sh ou ld seri- I tines him to merely 14 days' i mpri:oarnent. Ile trusted that the lenient sentence he had pa,,EpAd would have the effect of inducing him to act honestly fix the future, whatever might be his distress or nec?ssitie-. The prisoner, echo seemed thankful for the leniency, was then removed. I.AMB4TI3.—STABBING.—Martba Westford, a mar ried worean, and Anti Green, were firmly examined before the Hon. G. C.

A gentleman of property of Montmartre some years back married a young wo man of an inferior station to his own ; she went astray, and in 1849 abandoned him. She then lived with different men in succession and had children by them. A few months ago, being abandoned by all her lovers, she de.ired her husband to receive ber back, or at least to give her a certain sum yearly • but he positively re fused to do either. The court 'declared he had act " d well.
