in which that country was treated by England; but even if , that were the case, no one would deny that a remedy could be found. And before they tr:ed to find the re medy, it might be well to ask what it was that brought Ireland into the state in which she was at present- s —nhat but the unequal loss, the unjust ihst oppression, and the co n tinued strife which existed betweenthe country gentlemen of Ireland. He (Mr. Hume) recollected_ some twenty-four years ago, that on the 12th 01 July, one half of the country used to be arrayed against the o her half, the rival parties marched out with banners flying, and it required theinterference of the Government to prevent civil war. Another grievance was, that seven - e i g hths of the people of Ireland were kept in a state of oppression and degradation by the other eighth; and he ( Mr. Hu Hume) urged the abolition of tithes ; he was told that the Protest ant Gentlemen of Ireland held seven-eighths of the land , that they were contented with things as they were,, and that they could not therefore fall into his (Mr. Hume's) veiws. He was assured that Ireland could n ever rise in the scale of nations until they removed the mon strous inequality that had arisen from their penal laws. They ought to remove that dormant Church—they ought to give ' satisfaction to the people of Ireland —they ought to extend the same civil rights to Ireland that England had, and then they ought to tax every Irishman equally with every Englishman in this country. He knew that these opinions were not perhaps palatable or satisfactory to Irish gentlemen; but he knew also that it was not satisfactory for Englishmen to provide for the pauperism of the sister country. A passage had been quoted from Fletcher, of Saltoun, to show the deplorable condition of Scotland at an earlier period. But Scotland had now risen n the scale of nations, and why should Ireland not rise in the same manner ? But it appeared that Irish gentlemen in this and the other House were banded together for no other pur pose than to get as much money out of the country as possi ble.—( Cries of " Ohl oh 1") Why, let them read the resolu tion—that was the tenor of it, and it was, therefore, for her Majesty's Ministers to consider whether at the end of next year Ireland would not be in a worse condition than it was now. They should next year require eleven millions of money, and he should like to know where it was to be got from. Let them give the people of Ireland equal laws—let them protect capital, and employment to the people would very soon follow. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that he had, during the whole course of this debate, in vain listened for some suggestions or some indication by which they might guide the course which her Majesty's Government had in tended to pursue, and for some valid objection to the measures of the plan which his Nola!e Friend intended to pursue. He had heard, it was true, several objections from his Hon. Friend the Member for Wycombe (Mr. Osborne), and had heard much of the evils of a dominant Church, and the mischief of advancing capital to Ireland, but not one single objection to the object which his Friend had in view, although he had listened with the greatest attention. It should be recollected that the chief object of his Noble Friend was to provide for the necessities of the people under the awful calamity which had beolllen Ireland, and for which, under the circum stances, it was so difficult to provide. He had hoped for some intimation, for some suggestion by which the Ministry might the better steer their course. But it was in vain, yet he could not but congratulate the House on the feeling which had been exhibited on all sides. He felt this question to be a most important question ; one the importance of which could not be exaggerated, and which had engaged the most anxious attention of her Majesty's Government, and they were earnestly desirous of taking that course under the circumstances, and God knows the circumstances aresufficiently difficult, and such as were suf ficient to embarrass any set of men. Many objections had been made to the course which the Government had pursued, and accusations had been brought against them, and one Hun. Member had criticised in his speech the proceedings under the Act of the last ses-ion for the employment of the peor. The House would recollect that the Act passed during that session was for the purpose of employing the poor during the spring and summer months in consequence of the failure of the potatoe crop. That Act went on what was called the half and half sysrem—that is, that one-halt of the money was to be advanced by Government, on condition that the other half should be contributed by the resident gentry of Ireland, and it was expected that this outlay would bring out the expenditure of a much larger amount of capital. And did the Hon. Member know, that since the Ist of September, that the sum of 290,0001. had been advanced for that purpose. It was well known that the expenditure had been used in the payment of wages, and that it had had the effect of raising the price of labour in the labour market. —( Hear.) In Scotland and England there had been a deficient harvest as well as in Ireland, but for those two countries no outlay whatever had been made. —( Hear, hear.) The public works on which this money had been spent had only been stopped until a presentment had been made from the farmers to the effect - , that the exer tions of the labourers were necessary to gather the harvest. The Hon. Gentleman now told them that this measure of last session was a baseless, ill-considered measure, and that it' had the effect of charging real property with the support of the poor in Ireland, and he thought that this observation was worthy of consideration. It was arranged by the terms of that Act that presentments should be made, and that then the Go vernment should advance one-half of the money, and that the sums advanced should be charged partly on the funds ga thered for the maintenance of the poor, and partly on the funds of the county session. The failure of the potatoe crop had put a stop for a while to the public works, but he was sorry to say for the sake of the Irish landlords, that when it was discovered that the contributions were to be made, two more presentments were made, and those which had been made were withdrawn. For sake of the absentee landlords he was bound to remark, that one absentee landlord, Colonel Wyndham, had advanced rations to ten thou sand poor people daily. He was unwilling to charge the Irish landlords with negligence, except to the extent that he thought they ought to have interposed to prevent, or at least to check the abuses which had been committed under the Act. He did not wish to say anything without authority, an d t h ere. fore he would take the liberty of drawing the attention of the House to a report which had been received from the Board of Works. In that report the duties of the relief committees were clearly defined, and a contrast was drawn between those duties and the practice of the committees. One of the duties was to ascertain and investigate distress from week to week. while Government had to execute the works provided by the presentment session, and pay the labourers employed upon these works. In practice, however, the sessions presented works without previous local inquiry, the relief com mittees exercised little or no discretion in the performance of its duties, and hence the system had proved defective. It might have been difficult for the re sident gentry to perform the duties of relief committees, but he asked any gentleman whether he thought that those duties should be performed by an officer of engineers, whose province it was to superintend the execution of public works, or by the resident gentry ?-- ( Hear, hear.) It was true that there was not the same parochial machinery in Ireland as in this country, but when the local gentry said it was not their fault, but pro nounced it to be altogether the fault of the Board of Works audits officers that the system had failed, they attempted to throw upon that board a stigma which they did riot deserve. Nevertheless he thought the effect of the system had been good. No doubt it had occasioned a goad deal of expense, but when they consi dered that half a million of persons had to be paid, and their labours suspended, how could it have been otherwise. When he told the House too, by the aid of one officer in the county of Clare, 3,000 persons were taken off the works because the) had been improperly placed upon them by the Relief Com mittees, and reminded them that these duties had to be per formed by the officers of the Board of Works in addition to their proper functions, he did not think it was quite fair to throw blame upon them for the non-execu tion of duties which did not belong to them. Still the effect of their efforts had tended to alleviate and prevent distress. An enormous amount of relief had been afforded to the people, and thousands had been prevented from dying of starvation, and although they might regret that the money had not been so well spent as t h ey cou ld have wished, they could not but be gra ified that so much suffering had been averted. It had been reported to Government that in some instances it would be better to give food than work, becauss there were some poor and destitute persons who were altogether from age and from other causes unable to work ; and in order to prevent such poor creatures from ac tually dying from starvation, it. was proposed to give them food without allotting them work. He wished to make a remark or two before he sat down in re ference to an observation which had fallen from a Noble Lord who had taken part in the debate, with regard to the supply of food to the people. But first, he must give the House some idea of the distress which prevailed, and for the purpose of doing so he would bring under the notice of the House another report which had been made by the Board of Works. From that report it would be seen that in the district of Kihnow, where the total number of the inhabitants was 7,8,10, of that number 7,000 were in a state of destitution. He had said that the system of relief by public works had broltm down, and they (the Government) had de termined to distribute food in different districts, and to enable the local committee to distribute to a large extent cooked food throughout the country. There were many of those relief com mittees in actual operation at present; and from the reports they received, he was happy to be able to state to the House, that from the reports which had been received from their officials and other sources, that their efforts had been attended with most beneficial results. It had been said that the carrying ou' of this system had been more advantageous in its effects than any other. It had enabled the labouring classes by the suste nance afforded them to go to the public works, and it would also enable them to cultivate the soil. There had been great exaggeration about the sowing of grain in Ireland. A large number of the crops is that country were spring crops, and it was therefore the more essential that immediate f should be afforded the pe o pl e t o ena bl e those who were enraged: reel in the works of agriculture to prosecute their labour. He did not think therefore that it would be right to adopt the sugges tion of the Hon. Member for Wigan. The re were two great difficulties pressing on Ireland. There was the distress, almost unparalleled in the annals of the world, and there was also a most important change taking place in the social system of the people of that country. The food of potatoes were being changed. A large portion of the people of Ireland were maintained by potatoes grown on their own ground, and depended upon food raised, entirely by themselves, while they were in no measure dependent upon what they pur chased, supposing the potato might retain its position, but even then it was not expected that so large a portion of the people of Ireland would derive their sustenance from that as hitherto. If the people of Ireland were to buy their food in detail, there must be some people to sell them, and he believed that there could not be a greater blessing than the establishment of small dealers from whom they might purchase their food. He thought that in general cases it would be highly improper for the State to beceste a money-lender, but in the present in stance, and in order safely to bridge over the transition state of the people, he thought the measure exceedingly desirable. With reference to the proposed measure of the Government for the reclamation of the waste lands, the object- of the measure was very different from what it had been represented, there were large tracts of land in the possession of mere nominal owners, and it was these tracts which the Government spotted to reclaim. The measure for the promotion of the , Inres he th oug ht wou ld a l so b e b ene fi c i a l , a l t h oug h h e was :2 so sanguine upon th e success o f t h at measure as some ot h ers Woode".--in e th sale o f estates was a l so calculated to do much reland was country. At all events, the subject of eaYnest attentioto ne er requiring the most prompt and the part of the Government. It behoved them etiLorward with assistance to a greater extent, and he was sure ntry would not be unwilling to respond to the requirenstnetr would be more abundant, b b : ho ped that next harvest before e e feaHred that there would be a great amount of suffering period arrived. In ad dition, however, to she assistance svtai t a great'edtt might be extended to the people from this country, ryaltwtionas tahlesoGir4ernemd of necessary that Irish gentlemen; and without their co could not hope to meet the emergency. ent the food should be distributed through residweraist Rey' and it was necessary that those best acquainted with trnaerre and extent of the distribution should administer to its i ( - ' e T li e . It he could impress upon them his o wn f ee li ngs with regard to the calamity, he was sure th at from private and public resourcesreail they would be able to grapple with the distress, and g reatly alleviate the sufferings of the people.—(Chee i 3 ) On the motion of an Hos. AJEMBEtt, the debate was then adjourned. Lord J. RUSSELL hoped the House would allow the bate to take precedence to-morrow. CHELSEA PENSIONERS BILL, This Bill went through Committee.

The pe tition was strongly opposed by the Midlands, the Sheffield, Barnsley, Doncaster and Goole Companies, several land holders, and one or two corporate bodies. The case occupied nearly the whole of the day, but only two allega tions were sustained, and these were of no very great im portance. The allegations went to impugn the aceuracy of the sections; but the engineer of the line explained that. in point of fact, the defects arose from the shrinking of the paper upon which the plans and sections had been prepared. The case was adjourned. (Room 23, before; Mr Examiner MAY and Mr. Assistant- Examiner GUNNELL.) UNOPPOSED LIST. In the following unopposed cases the customary formal proofs were completed : Paisley, Barrhead, and Hurlet (from Paisley to Barrhead, with Branches to Laigh Parks and Townhead ; from Barr head to Kirkton Field Bleaching Works, with a Branch to Gateside Mills; from West Toll-bar of Paisley to Haugh Engine Coal Pit; with Branches to New Nitshill Alum and Copperas Works, and Househill Wood ; and from Branch to Nitshiil Alum and Copperas Works, to Victoria Coal Pit and Slates).

THE COBDEN NATIONAL TRIBUTE FUND.—The amount of this subscription, when last advertised, a few weeks ago—we mean the subscriptions forwarded to the committee for this district—amounted to 53,6241. Since that announcement, other subscriptions have been received, chiefly from Liverpool, together with some from Paisley, Kendal, and Macclesfield, increasing the amount by 4,7221., the total, up to last evening, being 53,346/. 19s. 9d.

IMPORTANT DECISION Is BANKRUPTCY. —On Wednesday, at the sitting in this town, in the case of S. Peake, an insolvent, Mr. Commissioner Burge delivered judgment upon the novel point which had been ably argued by the town-clerk and Mr. Reynolds, whether the buying and selling of railway shares and scrip constituted such a trading as to bring the ease of a defaulter under the bankruptcy law. The decision was, that unless such buying and selling were so carried on, and to such an extent, as to cause the party to be publicly known as a dealer in such shares or scrip—(he made no difference between the one and the other)—such buying and selling of shares through a broker did not constitute such a trading as to bring the party under the operation of the bankruptcy laws. And he decided that the transactions of Peake were of that limited nature.—ffull Advertiser. MEAL RIOT AT MACDUFF.—The greatest excite ment prevails at all the shipping ports in this neighbourhood, in consequence of the enormous shipments of grain which have been taking place for some weeks past, and the rapid advance in the price of food. The quantities shipped at Port soy, Macduff, Fraserborough, &c., as well as at Banff, for the last two months, have been unexampled, while the price of meal has risen from 18s. to 30s. per boll ; oats to 40s. ; and barley to 50s. per quarter. The other evening, a formidable mob assembled at Macduff to prevent the shipment of a quantity of meal and grain which had arrived in carts, and for the time they succeeded. They placed a high barricade of railway sleepers across the way to the vessel, and stripped off her one of her sails to prevent her going to sea. A meeting of the magistrates was called to consider the matter. The committee on behalf of the community have resolved to make various demands on the magistrates, one of which; is, that they adopt all lawful measures to prevent speculation in, and exportation of, grain faom the part; and also that the magistrates petition Par liament to put an entire stop to all monopoly and speculation in food. Unless something is promptly done to pacify the people, disturbances will ensue.—Edinburgh Weekly Register. SOUTH PETHERTON.—On Monday list, about six in the evening, the inhabitants of this town were consider ably alarmed by a large number of men, principally agricul tural labourers, amounting to nearly two hundred, congre gating in the town, their assembling being, it was understood, ror the purpose of obtaining an increase of wages. After passing through some of the streets, they stopped opposite the house of Mr. Pottinger, and after some haranguing Mr. Pottinger fired upon them, but whether the gun was loaded with anything more than powder we cannot say. This, however, had the effect of exasperating the mob, who immediately commenced smashing the windows with stones, which they followed up till nearly or quite every pane of glass in the front of the house was broken. The noise and alarm continued till about eleven o'clock, after which time the men dispersed without doing further damage.— Somerset County Gazette. REMOVAL OF THE SCOTTISH HOSPITAL FROM CRANE -COURT.—At a Court of Governors last 'Thursday, a pioposition from th e W oo d s and Forests to purchasethe premises forming the Scottish Hospital are favourably enter tained, and it was all but positively agreed upon to accept their terms. The Woods and Forests require the premises for a record office. CHEAP GAS AND GOOD.—Gas of the best quality is offered by the Liverpool Guardian Gas Company at 3s. &l. per 1,000 cubic feet. The agitation of the new scheme ap pears to have already reduced the price of the article charged by the two existing companies there from 75., at first, to 65., then to 55., and ultimately to the still lower figure just noted. It is admitted, too, on all hands, that " better gas than that now supplied it would be next to impossible to procure," which is more than can truly be said of our own metropoli tan gas, as we have already repeatedly observed. Cheap gas and good is now the order of the day in the provinces, at least, and surely the metropolis will ere long be inoculated with the same sanatory virus.— The Builder. MILITARY COLONISATION OF NEW ZEALAND.—On Saturday a circular was forwarded to several out-pensioners of Chelsea Hospital stating that Government were ready to grant a free passage to New Zealand to such of the pen sioners as chose to emigrate to that colony, together with their wives and families, who are not more than forty-seven Years of age, an outfit to be provided, and on their arrival in the c Tony they will be given an acre of land and 2s. 6d. per day fur seven years, during which period they will be military colonists; at the expiration of that time they will receive a grant of ten acres, and be free colonists—the wife and family, in the event of decease, to have a free passage to England, should they wish to return. SUICIDE OF A CLERGYMAN.—Yesterday (Friday) morning, the Rev. George Ireland, the chaplain of North leach House of Correction, in this county, was found in his room, with his throat cut, and quite dead, the fatal act hav ing, it is presumed, been committed some hours before its discovery. We have heard that the Reverend Gentleman had forwarded or left behind him letters addressed to Mr. Reeves, the governor of the prison, and to his own family, in ‘ which fi he exp ressed his intention to commit suicide.

A case of considerable importance to the interests of the colliers and miners of Scotland came on before the High Court of Justiciary on Saairday last. A collier named Walter Blyth had been hired to work in the No. 2 pit of Messrs. Merry and Cunningham, at Carnbroe. In a complaint against him founded on the Act 4, Geo. IV., eel). 34, relative to master and servant. It was alleged he had been so hired under a verbal egret went, and entered the service in October, 1845. o.t the 29th of January, 1846, however, Blyth, along with the other colliers in the pit, entered into a new agreement to writing with Messrs. Merry and Cunningham, in the following terms : " Carnbroe Iron-Works, 29th of January, 1846. Stoop and Room. Messrs. Merry and Cunningham. Gentlemen, We, the under signed, do hereby agree to work your splint coal (stoop and room) in your No. 3 pit, and to , become subject to the rules and regulations of your works, and agree to work every lawful day that the engine is going (if in health), and put out in each fortnight not less tl an thirty carts of clean riddled coals, weighing thirteen cwt. per cart. The rate to be 'Aid for such thirty carts shall be one shilling and tenpence sterling per cart, and one penny per cart additional for each cart above thirty per fortnight ; but should there be less than the said thirty carts, the price to be paid for such fortnight's output at the rate of one shilling and nine pence sterling per cart. (Signed) inter alias Walter Blyth."—Blyth wrought under this agreement from January to September 1846, when he was summa rily apprehended, and taken before Messrs. Kidd and Davidson, coalmasters, Airdrie, as justices of the peace• for the county of Lanark, for an alleged breach of the verbal agreement of October, 1845. The subse quent written agreement of January, 1846, was not founded on iu the complaint, but was concealed until it was brought out in the evidence of the manager, Mr. Reid. The justices, notwithstanding, disregarded this agreement, and convicted Blyth of a breach of the verbal agreement of October, 1845, and sentenced him to 40 days' imprisonment in the prison of Airdrie. A Bill of suspension and liberation having been presented, came on for discussion this day before the High Court of Jus ticiary (a full bench), when their Lordships suspended the conviction simpliciter, and found Blyth entitled to expenses. Immediately after disposing of the above case, their Lordships proceeded to hear another case. GILLESPIE V. REID. Arising out of precisely similar circumstances, the sus pender being another collier in the Carnbroe Works, and the respondent the principal 'tanager of the works. After hearing Messrs. Inglis and Neaves, counsel for the parties, their Lordships thought there were certain alleged irregularities on the part of the Justices which required to be inquired into before deciding the case, and they accordingly continued it for that purpose. Thereupon, and with the view of expressing his disap probation of justices (themselves coal-masters) acting as judges in such complaints, the Lord Justice General said—My Lord, I would rather suspend saying anything till we had this case brought back again. My Lords, the remit to a magistrate must be attended with very peculiar circumstances indeed in many cases. We had to express our disapprobation in the Court of Session of the conduct of justices of the peaco in regard to persons exactly in the situation of these colliers at these coal works. The one master takes up and decides the case of his neighbour, being the party the one day, and his neighbour takes up and judges his another day. Now, that is a matter that re quires very grave and serious consideration, for if there is any interest, or any illegal interference, the law will eot sanction his judging between them. lam clearly of opinion that it is a matter that requires legis lative attention. It is important to observe that a jus tice or an agent cannot act as a justice so long as he is practising, but it appears from these cases that the one master does lend himself to try the petitions and com plaints of the other master against his workmen, men ho stop work witheut notice to their employers. Lord Cockbur remarked that all these cases were competent before the Sheriff. Counsel for Suspenders—John Inglis ; agents, Messrs. S. and P. S. Beveridge, S.S.C.; Robert Watt, writer, Airdrie. Counsel for Respondents—Charles Neaves ; agen Francis J. Bringloe. BANK OF MAURITIUS. A meeting of the shareholders in the above bank was held in the Mauritius on the 28th of October last. The meeting was summoned by requisition for the purpose of submitting resolutions for the immediate liquidation of the bank, and to select the most suitable means for effecting that liquidation. According to the statements made to the meeting, on the 17th of August last, the bank owed, by the admission of the directors, 144,000 dolls. immediately exigible. To meet this sum they cal culated upon— Two- fifths of resident shareholders 534.000 Ditto London ditto In the chest Accounts current, due on the 18th 26,000 $148,000 These resources were very doubtful, and prove how dependent was the bank upon the recovery of current ac counts, composed of bills and mortgage claims. Under such circumstances a voluntary liquidation offered great advantages and no inconveniences. The quarterly ac counts of the last two years demonstrated a rapid dimi nution of profits, and augmentation of losses. The cur rent accounts figure for the sum of 340,000 dolls., the recovery of which would be indefinitely adjourned unless the liqultlation were at once confided to men equally prudent and firm, and independent of the high commer• cial body who were the principal debtors; delay could only be prejudicial to the shareholders; and the sugar estates which there was reason to fear were at the charge of the bank only involved the shareholders in the risks of such speculations; they ought to be put a stop to at once. The expenses yet amounted, on the 17th oflluly, to 572 dolls, per month, irrespective of the rent of premises valued at 25,000 dolls. ; and the pro posed liquidation could be accomplished at a monthly expense of 200 dolls. Finally, experience had demon strated that without this liquidation the shareholders could entertain no hope of knowing really and truly the state of their affairs, and of escaping future dangers. It further appeared, that the cash accounts had dwindled down from 50 accounts, amounting to 204,800 dolls. on the 17th January, to 14, amounting to 21,960 dolls., on the 17th July. In two years the directors had only diminished their account current by a trivial amount, the sums being in January, 1845, 369,699 dolls. against 340,196, in July, 1846. In the same period mortgages had actually increased from 45,472 dolls. to 93,410 dolls., in round numbers. An account for 92,000 dolls, for bills returned stood in the report. The motion was opposed, on the ground that it was one not of a simple liquidation, but a dissolution, which required the sanction of the London shareholders. It was, however, contended that the charter simply au thorised the London shareholders to appoint agents to represent them.

Yester day (Friday), at twelve o'clock, a l arge granary at Port- Dfinda.s, belonging to the heirs of the l ate Miss'lidd, sud denly gave way ; the south wall, fronting Clyde-street, falling out towards the street, and the beams, foisting, and flooring, precipitated to the ground. At the time the build ing fell, it contained about nine thousand bolls of the finest English wheat, a considerable portion of which will be de stroyed. Considerable danger was apprehended to the ad joining properties, but workmen were speedily set to take down such parts of the building as was dangerous. Fortu nately there was no life lost, although two of the store keepers were in the upper floor when the building gave way; but they escaped by the staircase, without suffering any injury. —Scotch Refirrme , s' Gazette.

MURDER IN A RAILROAD CARRIAGE. — The Swiss National Gazette of the 27th ult. contains the follow ing details of an atrocious murder committed in a railroad carriage: —" A person, whose name is unknown , took _ his seat at Manheim in a railroad carriage, with a ticket for Carlsrhue. Three other individuals of respectable appear ance shortly afterwards placed themselves in the same car riage, strau,led the first, rifled his pockets, and quitted the carriage at Heidelberg. The crime was not discovered until the train arrived at Carlsruhe, when the man was found in the corner of the carriage dead and already cold. The Crime aPPeare to be unique in the annals of railroads.'" LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, Feb. 1. The Lord Chancellor heard appeal motions to , day, it being the last day of Hilary Term. STAIN 118 V. TAYLOR. The Court was cccupied the -, vholemorning with the argu ments in this case, which came before his Lordship upon an appeal motion from the decision of the _:aster of the Rolls re•• fusing to grant an injunction applied for by the plaintiff. The plaintiff, it appeared, had a house near Kensal-green, and the defendants were erecting near it works for the manufacture of illuminating gas, which were to be brought into operation in March next. The plaintiff, fearing that the works would ba productive of great injury to his pro perty, filed his Bill, and applied to his Lordship the Master of the Rolls for an injunction to restrain the defendants from proceeding with their works. The M as t er o f the R olls re fused to grant an injunction to restrain prospective damage, and from that judgment the present appeal was brought. (The case had not concluded when our Evening Edition went to press.) ROLLS' COURT, Feb. 1. TIIUGWELL V. lIOOPZR. This a motion for the production of certain correspondence which had passed between a joint solicitor and trustee. It appeared that a solicitor, Mr. Goldney, was acting profes sionally for a gentleman named Trevme, between whose daughter and the defendant in the above cause a marriage took place in 1841, and Mr. Goldney agreed to act as trustee for Mr. Hooper and his wife. A dispute having arisen, in reference to a settlement between the parties, Mr. Goldney discontinued to act, and a co:•respondence took place between him and Mr. Hooper, for which, as well as for let ters which had passed prior to the marriage of 1841, the present motion was made. These letters were supposed to have reference to the above suit, in which a cross bill has been filed. Mr. Kindersley and another Learned Gentleman ap peared for the motion, and Mr. Turner and Mr. Hardy ap peared for Mr. Goldney. MS LORDSHIP considered that Mr. Goldney could not divest himself of the trusteeship, and under' the circum stances that it could not be mairtainel that he was acting merely as solicitor to Mr. Hooper, and that he was not en titled to the protection of the Court, therefore that the letters in question should be produced. VICE CHANCERY COURT, Feb. I. (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.) This being the last day of Hilary term, his Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England took motions to-day. THE lIUNGERFORD MARKET COMPANY V. THE CHARING-CROSS BRIDGE COMPANY. The arguments in this part-heard motion were resumed to•day. Our readers will recollect that the case came before the court last week upon a motion on behalf of the Hunger ford Market Company, for an injunction to restrain the de fendants, the Charing-cross Bridge Company, from hindering passengers to the steam-boats from crossing their bridge to the float erected by the plaintiffs, on the south side of the bridge, for the purpose of the embarkation and disembarka tion of passengers from steam. boats. On the last day the case was on, Mr. Bethell was heard on behalf of the plaintiffs, the Hungerford Company, when the case was ordered to stand over till to-day. Mr. GIFFARD was proceeding to address the Court on the same side this morning, when The VICE-CHANCELLOR asked whether the question must not be tried at law? Mr. GIFFARD said that he should submit at all events that his clients were entitled to the injunction. The VICE . CHANCELLOR—Doe s it appear from your affi davits, Mr. Giffard, when these tell tales were first put up in the mode and form they now appear? Mr. GIFFARD—Yes, Sir, it does; they were 'affixed long ago, when the bridge was first opened to the public, in May, 1845, but the float was not erected till lately, and therefore we could n o t t a k e proceed i ngs. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to address the Court, following Mr. Bethell, con tending that according to the provisions of the lease, that the Market Company were entitled to have free egress and ingress from and to the float across the bridge for all steam-boat passengers, and that such right having been denied by the Bridge Company, the Court was bound to grant the injunc tion asked for by the plaintiffs. The 'VICE-CHANCELLOR—Do your clients, Mr. Rolt, admit that the rights claimed by the injunction for the plaintiffs are clear? Mr Bour—Certainly not, sir. The VICE-CHA NCELLOR —N ow it s t r ik es me th a t it is not the duty of the Court to interpret legal rights. If there had been a long usage, that would have been prima facie evi dence of the usage, but that is not the case here. I really think that no injunction should be granted at present. The Hungerford Market Company may be at liberty to bring such action as they may deem advisable, either upon the co venant a have t c h t e h otherwise, t b l e aw a . dvised, and then Mr. GIFFARD —I am afraid there will be much difficulty in l ' e e' ca a s s e st es h t e a Y blis m et?a ' trying an action, a short case would in my opinion be far better. The Vice:-CtrascEr_Lox—The difficulty would be to settle a case. It appears to me, as the parties are proceeding by way of covenant in the deed, an action would settle it. ROLT—Then, Sir, the case stands over, and the plain. tiffs are to be at liberty to bring such action as they may be advised, with liberty to either party to apply? The VICE-CHANCELLOR—In the usual way. PENSON V. PENNON. _ This case stood on the paper to-day for Mr. Bethell's reply, in case the parties could riot come to some arrangement. Our readers will recollect that the case came before the court in the course of last week, and occupied one or two days in argument upon a motion for an account, and for the appointment of a receiver of the profits of a busi ness of architects and surveyors, carried on by the parties, who were father and son, at Oswestry, in Shropshire. The facts appeared to be as follows :—ln the year 1844 the father, in: consideration of a projected marriage between his son and the daughter of a gentleman in the same county, agreed to take his son into partnership, and with this view a deed was drawn - up by which the term was fixed for ten years, and the son was to receive one-third of the profits. It was stipulated also, that the son should be diligent in his attendance. In June of the same year the marriage took place, upon which occasion the young lady's father settled a sum of 10.0001. upon her, and handed to the husband a cheque for 500/. as payment of a legacy to which the wife was entitled. The check was subse quently handed back to the brother-in-lal by the husband. The newly. married couple then proceeded, with the sanction of the elder Penson, to Paris, but it was stipulated by the father that the sln should be back in time for the Derbyshire sessions. He was, however, as it happened, one day behind the time, and this it was contended by the plaintiff, added to his having given the cheque for 5001. into the custody of his brother-in-law, a circumstance which was aggravated by his having had occasion to apply to his father for money to bring him home, was the cause of the prejudice against him. The rest of the case consisted of cross charges of negligence and disrespect preferred by the father against the son, and of injustice and harshness preferred by the son against the fattier, the result of which was the father declaring the partnership dissolved, and the institution by the son of the present suit. _ The VICE-CHANCELLOR, when the case was brought before the Court, observed that he was the last person to force a compromise upon individuals who were unwilling to assent to it, but his opinion was, that if ever there was a case in which a compronnse was advisable, it was the present. He should not, however, shrink from deciding the question, if he was called upon to do so. Upon this intimation, the case was ordered to stand over till to-day, and this morning, at the suggestion of Mr. Stuart, in the absence of Mr. Bethel', who was engaged in the Lord Chancellor's Court, the matter was further post poned to Thursday. It is generally , understood that his Hon our w ill s i t i n Lincoln's Inn to-day (Tuesday.) COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Feb. 1. This being the last day of term, a considerable number of motions were disposed of, and several judgments delivered, none of which, however, presented the slightest feature of interest to any other than the parties immediately concerned COURT OF Q On Fe s b a . tlu.rd, , aay ju U d E gin E e N nt 'S in B th E is i‘i c C ase l' TIIE FLOGGING CASE AT HOUNSLOW.

COURT OF COMMUN PLEAS, Feb. 1. WOOLET U. DAVIS. In this registration appeal, the last of the list remaining for decision, the Court , this morning gave jud g m en t i n f avour of the appellant. The case came from Monmouthshire, and the point raised was respecting a notice of objection served on the appellant. The notice in question was addressed to the residence of the party, but the name in the superscrip tion was not the proper name of the farm, or place of resi dence, but another by which it was alleged the place was usually known. The Revising Barrister decided the notice to be good; hence the present appeal. SPRING ASSIZES. The following Commission days have been appointed for .he Circuits, as under:— HOME CIRCUIT.

In betting time was the favourite. The start was made at a rapid pace, and two miles were accomplished in twelve minutes and a half. The pedestrian kept the equestrians in full trot, and concluded half the distance in thirty-one minutes. Towards tb• seventh mile he increased his speed, and had thirteen minutes to finish the remaining two miles, and ultimately won the match by performing the teu miles of road in fifty nice Lainuto in an easy manner. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. The fourth session of the present mayoralty commenced this morning before the Lord Mayor, the Recorder, Sir Chapman Marshall, and the Sheriffs Sidney and Kennard. The Grand Jury having been selected and sworn, The RECORDER said that in the Calendar they would see 168 names of persons, against whom indictments will be pre ferred, and that number was likely to be greatly increased, before their labours would come to a conclusion. There was no case in which a legal difficulty was likely to arise. In the list would be found one case in which there was a charge for the commission of an abominable offence, upon the testimony of one witness. They would have to see whether there was any doubt of the testimony of that witness, arid if not, it would then, however painful it might be, be their duty to find a true bill. There were also in the list several cases of cutting and wounding, with intent to do grievous bodily harm, the chief of whicii arose out < f an attempt to rescue a person who was charged with felony, and who had, in fact, hien afterwards convicted in that Court of the offence. The police were engaged in taking this person into custody, when several pers ns attacked them with brickbats and stone', through which means death had ensued; and he should observe, that as this charge in volved a much higher felony than that of attempting a rescue, they would have to see whether the evidence was calcu lated to sustain the higher charge, or if not, whether it was sufficient to justify the second, or lower charge, and make their return accordingly. There was another charge of manslaughter, which was founded upon the verdict of a coroner's jury, and be had found the depositions which had been furnished to him of so extraordinary a nature, that he should depart from his usual course, and make a few remarks upon it. By this verdict a person named Lovell was charged with the offence, in the first instance, and Martha Betts in the second. It appeared that a person named Hobbs was labouring under a cutaneous dis order called Scala tettera, and that the persons charged were in attendance upon her, and under direction had placed her in a warm bath, shortly afterwards she died. The indict ment charged them with placing wet cloths round the head and the body of the deceased, and thus caused her death, whereas the testimony of the medical witnesses expressly stated that even if cold water had been used it was impossible thi.t it could have proved even a remote cause of death. This testimony was so directly contrary to the verdict, that he (the Recorder) had directed the whale of the witnesses who were examined before the coroner's jury to attend, and if the grand jury thought.there were no other circumstances to justify the indictment of the accused, he did conceive that this was just one of those cases in which they might inter ' fere to shelter respectable persons from the ignominy of a criminal trial. There were several cases of fraud in the list, but with the exception of two none calling for any particular remark. The first was a case where a police man, after being discharged from the force, called at one of the offices and demanded his expenses on a journey to Chelten ham. That was a case fit to be sent for full inquiry, for nothing was more likely to lead to great public inconveni ence than the allowance of such impositions as this. The other case was of minor importance, and merely involved a point of law on which they would have every assistance from the Court. The other cases, though numerous, were, he was happy to say, lighter in the character of the offences than usual. He would now dish iss them to their duties with the assurance that if any 4 ifficulty occurred they might always apply to the Court for aid and it would be readily rendered. The grand jury then retired from the Court. John Paterson surrendered to take his trial upon an in dictment charging him with wilful and corrupt perjury. Mr. Doane and Mr. Robinson prosecuted, and Mr. Clark son appeared for the defendant. The case occupied the court a considerable time, owing to the number of technical objections that were taken in the course of the trial by the defendant's counsel, but the facts out of which the proceeding arose lay in a very small com pass. It appeared that the prosecutors of the indictment were Messrs. Brocksopp and How, tea dealers is the borough of Southwark, and the defendant, who carried on the same trade at Tonbridge, had had dealings with the firm, and in the month of June, 1846, he owed them about 80/. In the course of that month, according to the evidence for the pro secution, he called upon Mr. How, and represented that he was in difficulties and very much pressed by his creditors, and he expressed a desire to give the firm a warrant of attorney to secure their debt. Mr. How, accordingly took him to his attorney, and a warrant of attorney was at once drawn up, an attorney in the neighbourhood being called in to act, in conformity with the statute regarding instruments of this description, as the defendant's attorney, and the evidence ,for the prosecution was, that the document was read over to him, and that lie was perfectly aware of the nature of it. However, it ap peared, that shortly afterwards the defendant became bank rupt, and when the prosecutors attempted to enforce the warrant of attorney to recover their debt, the defendant a'serted that he had never seen the warrant of attorney, and that his object when he applied to Mr. How was merely to give a bill of sale, and that l►e was not at all aware of the nature of the document that was really executed, and he made an affidavit to such effect, which affidavit proved the ground of the present indictment. The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. - - Two men named Bethell and Newsome, and a soldier named Campbell, charged beiore Mr. Hall with creating a dis turbance in Covent Gardea Market, and assaulting Moore the beadle, and a young man who bad offered his assistance. The beadle stated that on Saturday hight, about fourteen minutes past nine o'clock, he was sent for to the central avenue of the market, where he found the prisoners creating a disturbance and challenging the bystanders to fight. He seized Newcome, who struck him in the face, and at the same time some one struck him from behind. He succeeded, however, in taking them in custody. with the help of the young man mentioned above, but the prisoner Campbell brandished a stick over his head, caught hold of the young man by the collar, and held him un til h e was forced to reli ngu i s h hi s hold by Johnson (the other beadle), who took hint in charge. The young man proved that it was Bethell who struck Moore from behind when he was struggling with Newcome. Campbell, in defence, said that he caught hold of the young man by mistake, taking him for one of the other prisoners. - Mr. HALL said he would fine Bethell and Newcome 20s. each for the assault on Moore, and detain them until it was paid, under the provisions of the Market Act, The charge against Campbell was not of so serious a nature, as he did not strike any one; and he would, therefore, only fine him 55., or commit him for nine days. The fines were paid. MAR LBOROUGH -STREET. Bridget Maguire, a young Irishwoman, was brought up bafore Mr. Bingham, charged with breaking 22 panes of glass, to the value of WI. 155., under the following circum stances : It may be in the recollection of the public, that some months ago a young woman was brought before Mr. Hard wick, at this court, charged with breaking the windows of an apartment adjoining the court, and she then told so artless a tale of distress, which she alleged to be the cause of her breaking the glass, that the Magistrate was interested with the young woman's story, and caused inquiries to be made into her case. The facts got into the columns of the daily papers, and a benevolent lady, Mrs. Stubbs, Maddox-street, offered to take her into her service without any character, an offer which the young woman accepted with apparent gratitude, and Mr. Hardwick, and the chief clerk, Mr. Fitzpatrick ; handsomely contributed a sam of money, and gave her a complete outfit before taking her place. For two mouths she behaved with honesty and propriety, but for a month after this s he was su bj ec t to violent fits of passion, and whilst under these she used to threaten to cut all their throats and destroy the house by fire. Mrs. Stubbs was therefore compelled to discharge her from her service. Mrs. Stubbs, this morning, said that on Saturday a lady called to ascertain the character of the prisoner as a cook. Complainant told her that she could not cook, which she said would prove an insurmountable obstacle. Half an hour after this the prisoner called, and requested to see complainant. The person who answered the door being a stranger showed her into the drawing room, where immediately after the in mates heard a tremendous noise, and on going in saw the window frames almost entirely cleared of the glass, eighteen panes having been broken of the value of 51. 175., and four ornamental panes worth 41. 18s. The prisoner said the complainant had curtailed her of her wages, but she took that "fair and easy," and added, I was engaged for a situation, and was to have taken it on Satur day, but I found that I had no situation to take, because this woman would not give me a character; so, therefore, I had got nothing else to do, but to ga and break the windows. This was spoken in a tone of the coolest impudence. . Mr. BitiGnAm committed her for two months to the House of Correction. Mrs. Stubbs said she was in fear of serious injury from the prisoner, and begged to have the protection of the Court. Mr. BINGHAM bade her wait to see what effect the presen sentence might have upon her. EXTENSIVE BANK ROBBERY IN GLASC OW. • Yesterday afternoon (Friday) a clerk of one of the most respectable houses in Glasgow was sent to do bank bust. ness. He repaired to the Union Bank, and drew a cheque of 1,2001. He then proceeded to the Commercial Bank, in the same street, with the money upon him. He was writing same order at the bank counter—after finishing which, he put his hand into the pocket of his outside coat to draw out the money, where he thought he had it snugly deposited. The 1,2001. was gone! It is more than probable that he WAS reconnoitered bs some expert English thief, several of Whom we learn, are now prowling about the city. Glas gow formerly was a rich field for them. But let every man who goes to the bank have his eyes about him, and not trust to his outside pocket. We have other particulars about this robbery ; but it is prudent to conceal these till we see what the police does. We bear that another bank robbery of 247/. was commit ted yesterday.

PRESENT FROM THE KING OF PRUSSIA TO HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE PRINC E OF WALES.—We stated some time since that the King of Prussia had ordered a shield to be manufactured, as a present to his godson, his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. We learn from Berlin that this superb cadcau is now finished and exhibited to the public in one of the royal museums at Berlin, previous to its being forwarded to England. The shield is of silver, and covered with bas reliefs, from models by the renowned Fischer. In the centre is the Saviour's head in gold, resting on a cross, around which are four small figures representing Faith, Charity, Hope, and Justice. The other part is divided in compartments inlaid with precious stones, each containing subjects from the Old and New Testament.

ORANGE MANUFACTORIES. --At an inquest held on Saturday in St. Giles's, Mr. Wakley told the jury that he had discovered a manufactory of oranges, at which bad oranges could be made into apparently good ones. The process pursued was the submitting of unripe and inferior oranges to the action of steam, or par-boiling them. This made them swell, filled out their rinds, and made them thin, the usual external sign that the fruit was good. To give them the last polish, and heighten their outward attraction, they were rubbed with a greasy piece of flannel, or with something more objectionable.

The Court then took into consideration, and agreed to the propriety of a further extension of the sewer towards Holloway, commenced at the termination of the City sewer in 1839, and which had been carried beyond Ball's pond. It w as now prvosed to form a tunnel sewer to Holloway, 6,100 feet long, which would cost 7;930/.; and a branch one from it 2,500 feet in length, at a cost of 3,000/. Mr, from R °we' : m (the surveyor) annual report was read,subsequtly which it appeared that 35,038 feet of sewers had been formed last year ; and that above 100 miles had been practically flushed. MARKET NEWS.-(YESTERDAY CORN-EXCHA.NGE. During last week, the receipts of English Wheat, Barley, Beans, and Flour, were slightly on the increase; but those of all other articles of home produce were small. From Scotland no Gra'n came to hand ; while from Ireland, only one small cargo of Oats was received. The imports of Foreign Wheat, Barley, Oats, an I Linseed, were seasonably good. Those of Flour large, viz., upwards of 20,000 barrels. Fresh up from Kent, an unusually large supply of English Wheat reached us by water carriage; indeed, we may observe it was the most extensive we have had occasion to report during the last two years. From Essex, Cambridge shite, &c., the reteipts were but moderate. The stands being somewhat heavily filled ' with samples, the country markets coming lower, and the prospect of fu ture importations somewhat improved, the demand for all descriptions of Wheat of home produce, notwithstanding ilia attendance of buyers was good, ruled very heavy, at a de cline in the quotations obtained on Monday last of from 4s. to ss. per quarter, and a large quantity remained unsold at the close of the market. Although the actual quantity of foreign Wheat on offer was by no means large, that article was a mere drug, and Is. to 2s. per quarter lower. Holders, however, were by no means anxious sellers, hence the above abatement was not generally submitted to. The quantity of Barley brought forward was not to say large.. Selected parcels were in moderate request at last week's prices, but all other kinds hung on hand, though they were not cheaper. With Malt we were rather scantily sup plied. The brewers purchased with considerable caution, and, notwithstanding the actual business doing was small, the rates of this day se'nnight were mostly supported. There were comparatively few Oats on sale; nevertheless,the demand for that article was heavy, at an abatement of from Is to 2s per quarter.

During last week the imports of live stock from abroad were's - composed of 75 cows, and 416 sheep f rom :Neu Diepe, together with 6 oxen, 11 cows, and 18 sheep, from Nords dycke, nearly the whole of which have passed into the hands of the butchers by private sale. At the outports, about 100 beasts and 300 sheep have been landed in good condition. To-day we bad on offer only about 40 beasts and 90 sheep from abroad, whilst the demand for them was in a very de pressed state, and the quotations had a downward tendency. The numbers of home-fed beasts on sale this morning was seasonably good, and l of full average quality. Prime Scots, Herefords, runts, &c., moved off steadily at full prices, but all other breeds were a very dull sale, at barely last week's quotations. From the northern counties we received 800 short-horns ; from the eastern counties 900 Scots, home breds, and short-horns; from the western and midland coun ties 900 Herefords, runts, Devons, &c. ' • and from othe r p ar t s of England 750 of vari ous b ree d s. The supply of sheep was lese than last week, yet the Mutton trade, owing to the heavy arrivals up to Newgate and Leadenhall Markets, was extremely inactive, at barely late currencies. In calves ex ceedingly little was doing, and prices S had a downward ten dency. The pork trade was dull, but we can notice no al teration in value.

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—A WOMAN SHOT. Oa Wednesday evening last a very sad occurrence took pLe- at Trevol, near Tor point, th, residence of J. Cory t(in Roberts, Esq.—an occurrence a hich has caused con si.erable excitement and commiseration, and has occa sioned the utmost pain to the family of that gentleman. It appears that a married woman named Elizabeth Mitchell, aged 29, whose husband is a boatswain's mate at of a. has been in the habit of working at Trevol, as a dressmaker, and wis there on Wednesday evening. her disposition had occasioned great friendliness between the sons of Mr. Roberts and herself; and they were much attached to her. The eldest named Erasmus, about 14 years of age, who with his brother has been enjoying the school vacation at home, cn the evening before men tioned, asked her to sing a song and she refused, he then brought from his roan a pistol which he possessed with out his father's knowledge or consent ; and which he bad bet , re thoroughly cleaned, and threuteded to snap it at her if she still declined. She did so, however, and h e playfully pulled the trigger, when horrible to tell—it 055 found that the pistol had been loaded, and the contents !Aged in the head of the unfortunate individual. The consternation which seiz• d all in the house may be cued, but cannot possibly be related. The woman fell bleeding to the ground, arid on the young e- e ntletnandii,* covering that a wou n d h a d b een inflictedr he exclaimer " Good God, Charley must have loaded the pi•stor ( 15 b ich afterwards turned out t o b e correct,) and fled, no one knew whether. Mr. Chubb, ru-geon of Torpointi I?! sent for, but all m e di ca l e ff ort could be of no avail, n'e bullet had most prob a bly entere d the brain, and within a short time, the poor creature hreathed her last without having uttered a word. Added to the terrible shtick oc,sasioned by this event was the fright produced Dy the innoci nt cause of it b e i ng m i ss i ng. Search was ow "' for him in all directions, and it was nearly midnight before he was found in the neighbourhood of the bas e : in a state of perf ect nervous b ewilderment.

EMBEZZLEMENT OF DIAMONDS.—Mr. Forrester, the distinguished member of the London detective force, has been in our neighbourhood (Dover) this week, on the out look for a party who has absconded with diamonds of the value of 3,3001. in his possession. We learn that the indivi dual who has absconded with the diamonds landed at Folke stone, about a week ago, from a vessel, (of which he was the commander) belonging to Greenock, bound from Monte Video to London, having the precious articles in his posses sion; that he came to Dover on .liondav night last, slept at the Horn Inn, Pier, and started on T - uesday moiling, per rail, no one knew where. The most vigilant search had been made to disc Over the fugitive; but he has, as yet, eluded detection. The diamonds were contained in two boxes, they formed part of the cargo of the vessel, and were regularly entered, with the amount of their value on the bill of lading.—Dover Chronicle.

THE LATE FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.—Upon inquiry on Saturday at the Red Lion :nn, at Southall, as to the state of Mrs. Ibotson, who was injured in the above accident, it was stated that the un fortunate lady still remains in a very bad state. It appears that Mrs. Ibotson was at the time of the accident sitting in the third rompartment of the first second-class carriage of the four o'clock down train, with her back against the par tition dividing that compartment from the second, in which the deceased individuals, Halt and Bishop, were sitting face to face. In fact, she was sitting back to hack with Halt, and the same blow which struck him and Bishop struck her with milder force behind the left ear, and knocked her for ward on her knees between the two seats, in which situation she was found by Dr. Daniels, who, on asking her if she was much hurt, was answered, "Oh, I can't tell. Everything is going round with me. My reason is quite gone." She fearfully.e pr. moment Da i n n ie a rs sta c t a e rr ot ag d e ist b ra e c in ti g on p , r a e r s i e d o w:as sh c e ry l i v n a g s placed in that. and instantly taken to the Red Lion Inn, followed by Mr. Cooper, surgeon, of Brentford Butts, who found her, on examination, to be labouring under concus sion of the brain and injury to the spinal column.

WARWICKSHIRE, SATURDAY. —Last evening an inquest was held at the White Lion, Tavern, on the body of Henry Peter Taylor, aged eleven weeks, the illegitimate offspring of Jane Taylor, aged twenty years, who had jumped into the War wick and Nupton Canal, with the child in her arms, on Thursday night last. Hannah Taylor, of Hinningham, said that her husband was the brother of Jane Taylor. She was at her house on Thursday evening about five o'clock. She had the deceased with her. • When she went away she was crying very much, and witness understood that she was going to Leamington. Witness wished her not to go out, as it was quite unnecessary, but she persisted in going. My husband had told her that she must procure a fresh home, for he was unable to support her. We had notice to leave our house in conse quence of her being there, which notice was up to-night (Friday.) We have but one room for myself, husband, and three children, and, therefore, had no room for her and the baby. Phineas Page said—On the previous evening, as he was coming from the mill, he saw something floating on the opposite side. -Having procvred assistance, and got the female out. she then ejaculated, " Oh, my poor baby." Her dress having been unpinned, the deceased was found clacped in her arms quite dead. The jury returned a verdict of wilful murder against Jane Taylor, who was fully committed to take her trial at the next assizes. ST.
