The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con tcfnenees resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man -1°00(1, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any othtr class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is r r rt leularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of ti-;eir ifts condition, end who are conscious of having hazarded ° Ir.:loth, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is gat' d. It fo absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are Trinciples of personal management which cannot be violated with nut incurring,.grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret suc ceed the heyday of inconsiderate self-Indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and howthe evil and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all, Mat there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

If the jury were satisfied on that point they would probably consider it a matter of great importance. His lord ship, here referred to three entries in Ost:orne's book which confirmed his (Osborae's) evidence, and also Smith's book, and that of the innkeeper, to the same effect. If those were genuine entries, and not forgeries, it seemed to confirm the evidence given as to the day when the will was executed. is lordship here referred to the evidence of the attesting witnesses, one of whom—Robinson—did not seem to'be very favourable to the defendants, and cautioned the jury against upsetting a will which had been attested as this had been. His lordship then read over the evidence of Mr. Smith and his clerk (Osborne), and said that if their ac count was true the was valid ; for, however improper it might be that a will should be so executed in favour of the attorney's ; there was no objection in point of law. His lordship was still engaged in summing up the evidence when we were compelled to close our despatch. The Iniperatriz steam-transport, Capt.

CHARGE: OF INDECENT ASSAULT ON A FEMALE BY A BROKER. ...-----.4)---..--- - Yesterday. William Henry Wyld, a sworn broker, carrying on business in Lambeth, was brought be fore Mr.- Burcham; at Southwark Police-court, charged with indecently assaulting Maria Morpeth, a respectable-looking young female, 18 years of age, with intent to commit a cer tain offence. Mr. Solomon appeared for the accused. The prosecutrix, who gave her evidence in a very straightforward scanner, stated that she lived with her parents in Salutation-street; Stamford-street, and . her father was a compositor. Shortly after two o'clock on the afternoon of the 12th inst., the prisoner came to their house and put in a distress for 2/. 19s. 6d. rent due to the landlord. She was at home with her elder brother, a sister 14 years of age, and a sister 12 years old. The former left the house to go' for their mother. As soon as he was gone the prisoner and his man commenced taking an inventory, when the prisoner came to wards her and said he bad better go upstairs and see what were there, at the same time telling her to follow him. She did so, and her little brother and sister wanted to come after them, but the pri soner told them to go back, •as they were not wanted, as he was going to see if they could not put some of the things away. When they got into the top room he sat on the bed and took an inventory of the things there. While he was, doing so be jumped up and locked the door. Witness was looking.out of the window then, but she asked him why he had done that ? He made no reply, but caught hold her and attempted to pull her on the la?d, at the same time acting very improperly towards her. He exposed himself, also, and pulled out a purse, from which he took a Is. and offered it to her, saying that she would want it before Saturday, as she would then be starved. She strug gled hard, and got away from him, indignantly re pulsing his insults, and then she found the door unlocked and ran down stairs. There was no one there then but the man in possession and her little brother and sister, whom she did not like to tell what had happened. The latter, however, asked her what was the reason the door was locket, and the cause of the noise in the room. Shortly after that her elder brother entered the house, and she told him how the prisoner had treated her, and then he was given into custody. In cross-examination' by Mr. Solomon, witness said that what she had stated was all true. She had not trumped up the charge to save her father's goods. They had all been conveyed away when he was given in charge. When the prisoner locked the door she went towards it to get out, but the prisoner seized hold of her and indecently assaulted her. She diel..not call out or make any alarni, but she struggled acid got away. Walter Morpeth, witness's elder brother, 20 years of age, said that when she told him the manner the prisoner had treated her, he went out and asked the advice of a neighbour, who returned with him to the house. He then fttched a constable, and at that time.his mother came in, and then the pri soner was given into custody. Witness informed his worship alt that his sister had told him, and that was corroborative of her testimony. Police-constable 103 L, said when he took the prisoner into custody the goods were all being re moved from the house in a van. When told of the charge, he denied having committed any such offence. Mr. Solomon, for the accused, said he was in structed to say that he was a respectable moral man, being married and having a large family of children, whom he brought up in the paths of virtue and honesty. , He denied most emphatically the charges made against him, - and assured him (Mr. Solomon) that they .were: trumped up with the view of pre venting him making his levy on her father's goods. He called the landlord of the house to speak to his moral character, and the man in possession, but the latter knew nothing of what occurred at the top of the house. Mr. Burcham said that as he denied the charge he must send him to the sessions for trial, as there was nothing to contradict the girl's evidence. It was a bailable offence, therefore he would accept two sureties for his appearance at the sessions. The 44th, 66th, and 72d Regiments will embark at Portsmouth about the 18th inst. for India. The two troop ships Victoria and Sydney, for Madras and Calcutta, although actually under way on Wednesday evening at 5 o'clock from Woolwich pier, were recalled by an order from the East India House, whence Mr. Ritherton, the sur veyor to the Board, has been despatched for the purpose of detaining the vessels, iu order to com plete the full shipment of the extraordinary amount of ammunition and cartridges to be supplied to the troops now embarked, —namely, 400 rounds per man. The Victoria had already proceeded a full half mile down the river, and on her return she commenced transshipping her ammunition already embarked to the Sydney. The Victoria consequently steamed down yesterday evening alone at 5 p.m. for Portsmouth, to take on board her supply from the Ordnance department there. The Sydney remains at Woolwich to complete the shipment first intended —namely, 117,650 rounds of the 53 improved pat tern cartridges for the Enfield rifle, 230,000 rounds of ordinary artillery cartridges, and a full comple ment to supply the 24-pound bitter) , howitzer battery shipping on board that vesseL The task of paying the corps of Royal Marines about to embark on the China expedition commenced yesterday morning, and by noon eatth man had received a month's pay in advance, amount ing to a total of upwards of 900/. Arrangements were also made for an allotment for the wives and families of the married men of the corps, by which they are comfortably provided for. As soon as the gallant fellows made their appearance in the stre e t s the cheering was most enthusiastic. They were preceded along their line of route to the Arsenal by the regimental band, as well as that of the Royal Artillery, and were greeted by a continual shout of acclamation. Arrived at the foot of the pier, the Artillery companies for India on board the Victoria and Sydney, who had mounted the rigging, set up a vociferous shout of applause, which was returned in kind. The uudermentioned officers and privates of the artillery companies of the Royal Marines embarked on board the Adelaide for Hong gong :—Lieut.- Colonel Holloway, aide-de-camp to the Queen, in chief command ; Major Scomberg, Lieuts. Festing, Williams, CreaF.e, and Crawford, 5 sergeants, 5 corporals, 3 bombardiers, 2 drummers, and 80 gunners, as well as Capt. Parke, Capts. Tribe, Usher, and!

The Lords of the Admiralty having ordered the battalion of Royal Marine Light Infantry stationed at Deal to be broken up, the first detachment, con sisting of two companies, numbering 200 non-com missioned officers and men, under the command of Captain F. L.!Alexander, with Lieut. C. L. A. Far mar, Lieut. E. Spry, Lieut. F. H. Ruel, and Lieut. F. W. A. Boyd, arrived at head-quarters, Chatham, on Wednesday evening. The remaining companies, with the Staff, under the command of Lieutenant- Colonel J. H. Gascoigne, will arrive at Chatham in the course of a few days. The companies of Marines stationed at Lewes are also to be withdrawn. Preparations are being made at Woolwich for the removal of the Adjutant-General's official estab lishment to London forthwith. Col. Pallier, As sistant Adjutant-General at Woolwich, having re tired from that post, has been succeeded by Lieut.- Col. Bingham, Lieut.-Col. Wodehouse C. 8., hav ing been appointed to succeed Lieut.-Col. Bingham as Deputy-Assistant Adjutant-General. IRELAND. BAIL WAY INTELLIGENCE. DUBLIN, THURSDAY MORNINL NORTHERN AND EASTERN. LIBERATION OF JAMES SPOLLEN. At 11 o'clock yesterday James Spollen left the Richmond gaol in a covered car, accompanied by an immense mob, and proceeded to the Broadstone, to a house adjoining the railway premises, where his son James has lodged since the commencement of the trial. After remaining here some time he boldly sallied forth and addressed a large crowd of persons in terms pretty similar to those which he employed in the dock, abusing his wife and the crown lawyers. The police are in possession of his eDttage at the railway, which they again searched yesterday, having been informed that a larger por tion of the company's money, not yet recovered, is secreted about the house. Some persons have even spoken of a subscription for Spallen, but on all hands the position of bis miserable wife and helpless younger children is commiserated. A large number of visitors from England and the Irish provinces visited the railway yesterday, and ex amined the different localities —the forge, green house, ram, river, &c., which htZve assumed some some sort of historic importance fro this remark able case. There is a very general impression 'abroad that the murder of Mr. Little will not lapse into the catalogue of undiscovered and un punished crime, which, unfortunately, whatever be the cause, is swelling largely in this country. It may he that accomplices in the assassination will yetvbe _traced. A great difficulty has been presented. during the investigations by the fact that the directors of the company have been unable to form the slightest estimate as to the total amount abstract4l from the room of Mr. Little. The Irish press, generally, concur in the verdict of the jury, on the ground that there was in the evidence room for that •'!. reasonable doubt," which Chief Justice Monahan so emphatically dwelt upon as necessitating an acquittal The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at the Bishopsgate station of the Eastern Counties Railway, and the guaranteed dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. and 6 per cent, per annum on the guaranteed stocks were declared for the half year ending the 30th of June last.

HYDE, THURSDAY EVENING. Last night the annual dinner of the Royal Victoria Yacht Club took place at the Club-house, the Commo dore, George Holland Ackers, Esq., presiding. The day was appointed for the race for a club price of 50/., open to all schooners belonging to the Royal Vic toria Yacht Club. The following vessels were entered:— Yachts. Tons. Owners. Flags. Mariqui t F. B. Carew, Esq... Red, with gold M. Wildfire 56... J. T: Turner, Esq ... Blue. Vestal Zouave 105.. .R. Arabin, Esq. Tricolour, There was every expectation that this race had been finally made ; but lut night a question arose between the owners of the Vestal and Wildfire whether the time, according to Acker's scale, should not be given by the Mariquita and Zouave. This was objected to by the owners of these two vessels, and consequently the Wild fire and Vestal were withdrawn, and the race was re duced to a match between the Mariquita and Zouave. The wind was blowing strong from the south-eaqt. The Mariquita was the first to set her foresail, and soon got a good lead. When approaching Spithead she set her main gaff topsail and was going well. The Zouave was about a minute astern, but on the vessels keepinc , close inshore t o ge t out o f the fl oo d tide, almost at the same moment b o th o f th em got agound between South sea Castle and the buoy of the Horse. After being on the sand for about five minutes, the Zouave got afloat and proceeded towards the Nab Light. The Mariquita did not come off for more than an hour, and then, of course, all chance of coming up with her opponent was out of the question. The Zouave then sailed round the course alone, and up to the time this was written there is every reason to believe that she will have the cup Athout dispute. The Peninsular and Oriental Company have au thorised their agent at Malta to allow the packets bring ing the Marseilles portion of the homeward Indian mails to touch at Cagliari on their passages from Malta to Marseilles, in case the admiral on the station should be desirous of transmitting from that point a telegraphic summary of tl intelligence. This arrangement will in no way interfere with the due arrival of the steamers at Marseilles, but will afford the advantage to the Govern ment and the public of at least twenty-four hours' earlier reception of news by moans of the telegraphic wires from Cagliari. OPENING OF THE PEOPLE'S PARK, HALIFAX.—The is to be opened on F r id ay next, with a People's Park, the gift of Mr. Crossley, M.P., to the public procession, and th e presentation of town Halifax, H an a d lif p ax u b , an address. The following noblemen and gentlemen have acceptsEl invitations to be present :—Earl of Sbafteebnry, Viscount Godericb, M.P., Sir Joseph Paxton, Sir James Watts, mayor of Manchester ; Mr. Cheetham, M.P., Mr. Harris, M.P., Mr. Kershaw, ld.P., Mr. Pilkington, M.P., Mr. Platt, M.P., M r . Smytb, M.P. ; the mayors of Bradford, Sheffield, and Leeds ; Mr. S. Morley, London ; Mr. E. Milner, Crystal Palace ; Mr. E. Banos, Leeds, and others. The park has been laid out by Sir Joseph Paxton, a n d th e plans executed at a coat cf 30,0004—Norther n Daily Expre6B, WeLsby and Mr. T. Jones appeared on behalf of the defendants. Mr. Evans, on behalf of the defendant (having.ad , mitted that the plaintiff was heir- at-law), stated the asset° the jury. Thetes tat or, William W harton Sut ton, was born in 1811, and died in 1849, and; by a will made in 1845, devised the whole of his property to Mr. Edward Davenport, thereby cutting off the heir-at-law, who, at the time of Sutton's death was an infant. In his childhood the testator appears to have been a dull, stupid, boy, and at school was looked upon as a dunce. His mother dying when he was very young, and his father marrying again, Mr. Edward Davenport, then a boy and nephew to the second Mrs. Sutton, was sent for to Spurstowe, and was brought up in the same house with young Sutton. The two boys went to school together, played, fished, shot, and slept together ; a degree of trieedship thus rising up between them which continued until the death of Sutton. In 18— Sut. tows grandfather died, and left him a little pro perty, when he became dissatisfied, and left his father's house. He then went to lodge with an aunt named Reed, and afterwards with another of the name of Cope. While with them he fell into drunken habits, and the tricks played upon him while in his drunken bouts, and eccentricities com mitted by him, together with his dirty habits, were urged a 3 strong proofs of his imbecility. In 18— his father died, when ho came into possession of another small estate. Mr. Edward Davenport suc ceeded to Spurstowe, and in 18— Sutton sent se veral messengers requesting Mr. Davenport to allow hits to return and live with him. Mr. Davenport consented; Sutton returned, and be then seems to have eruggled against his propensity for drink, and to have become very much improved. In the year 1843, and in consequence of it having been rumoured that he' had male a will in favour of and innkeeper, he was taken by two of his cousins named Young and Rowcliffe to a solicitor at Tarporley, and he then made a will in favour cf his cousins, dividing the whole of his property amongst them, thus setting aside tho claims of the heir-at-law. This will ap pears to have given Sutton much uneasiness, and in 1844 he went to Whitehurch, and made another will in favour of Mr. Edward Davenport. A great number of witnesses testified to Sutton having said at vat.us times that Mr. Edward Davenport was the only friend he had in the world, and that when he died he would leave him the whole of his pro perty. In the latter part of 1844, while in one of his drunken bouts, he made another will in favour of Corwell, an innkeeper, which has since been de stroyed ; and within a month he again went to Whitchurch, and made another in favour of Mr. Edward Davenport. The case opened on the afternoon of Wednesday, the sth, and the examination of witnesses (of whom there were 52) for the defendant concluded on Fri day evening. The examination of witnesses (of whom there were 51) for the plaintiff commenced on Saturday morning, and concluded on Tuesday evening last. On Wdnesday, the 12th inst., Mr. Grove addressed the jury for the plaintiff in a speech of two hours and a half duration, and was followed by Mr. Evans for the defendant in a speech of an hour and a half. His, lordship took six hours in summing up ; the jury then retired, and after a consultation which lasted.forty minutes, returned into court and gave a verdict for the de fendant, thereby establishing the will. OXFORD CIRCUIT.—GLoucEsTEit, Aug. 13. (Civil Court—Before Mr. Baron Martin.) HADDOCK AND ANOTHER V. LEWIS AND ANOTHER. Mr. Sergeant Pigott, Mr. Dowdeswell, Mr. Cook Evans, and Mr. H. James appeared for the plaintiffs ; and Mr. Whatley, Q.C., Mr. Skinner, QX., Mr. W. H. Cooke, and Mr. Powell for the defendants. This was an action of ejectment brought to try the validity of a will male on the 14th of April, 1855, by MrA. Anne Higgins, an old lady who died at a place called " Shepherds," about four miles from Newnham, on the 13th of May, 1855 at the advanced age of 80. Considerable interest at tached to the inquiry, arising froin the circum stance that the will in question was made by Mr. Smith, the solicitor of Newnham, and that one moiety of the property, after paying certain lega cies, was left to a Mrs. Elliott, an old lady of 66, who Was Mr. Smith's mother-in-law. The other moiety was left to Sarah Lewis, who was the testa toi's first cousin. TO plaintilf claimed as heir-at law, and the defendants as devisees. When the case was called on, Mr. Whateley, who appeared for the defendants, the devisees, said he admitted the plaintiff was heir-at-law, and claimed the right to begin, by proving the execution of the will. Mr. Sergeant Pigott said he could not resist that application. Mr. Whateley then stated the facts of the case to the jury, and called . several witnesses to proVe the due execution of the will, which was dated the 14th of April, 1855, and was proved in Doctors'- commons. on the 16th of June following. The tes tatrix devised all the estates vested in her upon trust or by way of mortgage to John Taylor, of Griershill, in the parish of Lydney, farmer, and appointed him executor. She gave 2001. to Mary Lewis, then staying with her ; 501. to Mary Kear, then living with her ' • 1001. to Alfred Meredith, then living with her. To Henry Awre, innkeeper, she gave 5001., being the amount of mortgage money due to her upon his farm. As to the residue of her property, real and personal, she devised and be queathed the same to the said Sarah Lewis and Margaret Jane Elliott, of Newnham, widow, as tenants in common, subject to the payment of her debts and personal and testamentary expenses. The will purported to be signed by the testatrix, " Anne Higgins," on the 14th of April, 1855, and was witnessed by " Edward Robinson, Awre-Mill," and "George Parsons." Mr. Sergeant Pigott, in summing up the evi dence for the plaintiffs, said, one question for the jury would be whether the deceased had signed the will, as suggested, on the 14th of April ; or, whe ther it had not been sirrned at a much later period of the month. A more serious question would be whether she ever signed any will at all. Accord ing to Mrs. Rear's evidence the dEiceased denied ever having signed any will, and it was more pro bable, from thia evidence, that she did not under stand what she was signing, or she might have sup posed that she was signing some authority to Mr. Smith to protect her property from the man White, who had mad e a c l a i m t o it. The question was ' whether the deceased signed that paper, intending it to be her last will and testament. LOOK at the persons who had been excluded. Consider that one-half of the property was given to Mrs. Elliott,. the mother-in-law of Mr. Smith, the attorney who made the will.• Why was not Mrs. Elliott called ? Why was not Mr. Taylor, the executor, called ? Why was not Mr. Harrison, the surgeon, examine ed ? Mr. Harrison might have proved Mrs. Hig gins's competency, and Mrs. Elliott, who had got half the property, might have proved whether or not she had seen Mrs. Higgins more than once in her life. The learned sergeant said the question to be tried was one of great public importance, and he confidently left the case in the hands of the jury. Mr. Whateley, in reply, said Mr. Smith was charged with a gross forgery, conspiracy, and sub ordination of perjury. But could the jury believe that all the parties who had been called by the de fendants were parties to such a conspiracy 1 All that could be said of Mr. Smith was, that he was a gentleman who had carried on business at Newn ham for many years without a slur upon his char acter. The only charge against hint was that Mrs. Higgins had been pleased to leave a large pOrtion of her property to his mother-in-law. Suppose the case had been the other Way, anti Mrs. iiiggins had made her will hi favour of the diattLipointed lega tees who had been called by the plaintiffs. Mr. Smith's evidence was confirmed by the entrieswhich he had made in his book, mid by thd entries maid in the innkeeper's hOok. The learned counsel then proceeded to comment generally iipon the facts of the case, and said that if this had been a fraudulent will the probability was that Mr. Smith would have been ready to give the disappointed parties some small sums to buy them off. But nothing of the kind was done, though Mrs. Rear wanted Mrs. Elliott and Mrs. Lewis each to give her 284 The learned counsel admitted that some suspicions had? been thrown out on the defendant's ease by the evidence which had been given on the part of the plaintiffs ; but the evidence was chiefly of converaa rions which might be misunderstood ; and be con cluded by declaring that the case of the defendants was clearly proved by direct and unimpeachable. evidence. Mr. Baron MARTIN summed up the evidence, and , said, the question was, whether the will of the 14th of April was made by a person of sound and dispo sing mind, and whether the will was her will, and not that of a person having influence over her ? The will must be the real will of the maker, and the question was whether this will was the will o Mrs. _Higgins, and whether she was of o a s so e :n va Zn ri e s disposing mind ? His lordship said he should be sorry if it should be thought, from any b he might make, that it was right that a will should. be Amide as this wax, k that would put wills in ZIUMMER ASSIZE& HOME CIRCITIT.—CROYDON, AUG. 13. The Lord Chief Baron was engaged nearly the whole of the day in trying a running down case, Tyler v. The General Steam Navigation Company, in hich the plaintiff Fought to recover damages for having a barge sunk in the river, owing, ai he alleged, to the negligent manner in which a steam vessel, called the Hanover, belonging to the defen dant 9, was navigated. The .evidence, as is usual in such cases, was very conflict'ng, and totally desti tote of interest to the gcncrA public. El - WOMAN V. SHIRLEY. This was a special jury c tse. • Mr. E. James, Q. C., Mr. Boyill, alid n Mr. Hawkins were for the plaintiff; Mr. Sergeaat Shee and Mr. W. Williams for the defendant.' The action was brought upon the warranty pf t horses purchased of tie defendant, as being quiet in harness and sound, and the declaration alleged that one of the horses was unsound, and that they were not quiet in harness. _ _ The plaintiff, it appeared was a patent agent and civil engineer, and the defendant is a horse dealer at Twickenham. The hor'ses in question were purchased by the plaintiff for 110/., and tiny were warranted: sound and quiet in harness, and the defendant put them into his phaeton, an was drivingdownßichmimd-bill, accompanied byhis wife, his brother, who is in the navy, and a servant, and while going do:xn the bill one of the horses c•An menced kicking, and they both eventually bolted, ran the carriageinto a ditch and overturned it, and the wife of the plaintiff received very severe inju ries. These facts wer?. proved -...g.0.br as the acci dent vu.s concerned, and a untnb3r of veterinary surgeons w ere t xamincd, whose evidence - *mil, to show that one of the horses had spavins and was consequently unsound: For the defendant several professicinal men were also examined as witnesses, with a view to show that the horse in question was sound, and with re-. gard to the warranty of quietness it was alleged that the accident had arisen solely through the un skilfulness of the driver, and the horses being put into a vehicle not at all adapted to them. The phaeton was brought in front of the court to be examined by the jury, and it was evident to every one at all acquainted with such a subject, that it was a most unfit and improper carriage to put such horses as these, 16 hands high, and full of mett:e, to work in, it being a light small vehicle intended for one horse, or a pair of small ponies, and as the pole was of course much toe short for full sized horses, the probability was that th e carriage had run upon the horses hocks, going down the hill, and that was the c ,use of the accident. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 1001., upon the count as to the unsound ness of the horses ; and for the defendant upon the oount as to the qmetness of one horse, and that the carriage was not suitable. Mr. Justice Willes was engaged all day in trying common jury cause', but none of them possessed any features of interest to the public. WESTERN CIRCQIT.--BRISTOL, August 12. RA.LPII V. LANE. andand s rying awayoh ____ Mr, Montague Smith , QM, and Mr. Stone, were for the plaintiff ; Mr. Collier, Q.C., Mr. Prideaux, and Mr. Edin fo r t he defence. The cha rge was This was an action fur illegal arrest, false i t : a a r pri. - di s n o i vo n e m r st e h n ea t r t , p a i lc ii i d ens f t o , of r r f a s h t ir r s e r s ap p mr a o i s s pe , esr t i , in carryi ng . ca n gy laid in - the declaration with the Customary ampli fications, and there were a number of very long pleas, in which the defendant alleged that the search was made with the plaintiff's l eave an d license, and that the articles taken away were not the property of the plaintiff ; but the two most im portant pleas alleged that the defendant had had reasonable and probable cause for the conrs3 which he took ; that two of bis apprentices, named Bridges and Davis, bad at divers tim a s stol en the goods of the defendant, and that the plaintiff had feloniously received the same, well knowing them to have been stolen. To prove the case the plaintift and his wife wera called. They deposed that Bridges first came to their shop on the 14t Feb., when he sold a small quantity of old brass, for which they give bird the full market value. At his second visit lie gave his name and address, and stated that he was a gasfitter, and he was then engaged to do a job in the gas fit tings. Subsequently he sold au old teapot and another small lot of metal, the full value of which were paid to him. Mr. Collier, in addressing the jury for the d.e fenthnt, said the action was a bold one, and the plaintiff would have acted more prudently if he had been satisfied with the narrow escape he had before had, and had not courted the publicity of another investigation in a eourt of justice. He ha& how ever, chosen to bring this action against the defen dan'., who was not to he blamed for any disclosures which might be made. Tho f ict was, Mr. Lane had been exterisive'y robbed by two of his appren tices, the younger one making a confession of his guilt, and stating that he and Bidges bad repeat edly sold the stolen goods to Ralph. Not with standing the statements of the plaintiff and his wife, he should be able to prove by the boy Davis, whom he should call before them, that they had known Bridges long before February, and that both Bridges and Davis had ben in the habit of selling stolen goods to them from the end of last year. The learned counsel offered some observations on the loose way in which the plaintiff had conducted his business, and the encouragem ent offered to theft by marine store shops, at which any thing offered was bought and no questions naked, proceeded to refer to the places, contending, that if he proved that the defendant bad had reason able and probable cause for the course which he had pursued he should entitle himself to a verdict for the defendant. _ . The boy Davis was called, and deposed to having with Bridges stolen from Mr. Lane sundry articles, such as union-joints, pump boxes, a bar of solder, brass taps, Sic., which they sold at Ralph's. Sold some before Christmas, and went to Ralph's many times. On one occasion Ralph asked Bridges if he thought it would be safe to clean some of the things up and put them in the window, and Bridges re plied that he did not think it would. Mr. Lane, the defendant, was called, and de posed to having missed property from his place, part of which he identified as having been found in Ralph's posse,sion. When Ralph was at the station-house, Inspector Bell asked him where he had obtained some gas-fittings which were pro duced. He said he had bought them at a fire in Broad-street. The inspector told him that there bad been no fire in Broad-street, and he then said he had purchased them of Bridges. Tho inspector then said that he had prevaricaiss3, and that he (defendant) would be justified in giving him into custody, whichfhe then did. The police produced various articles which had been found at Ralph's and detained by order of the magistra , es, and the defendant identified several of them as hav ng been stolen from him. Police-serjeant Newman, police-constable Bullen, police-constable Masters, and other witnesses, were called to prove that when at lie station the plain tiff varied in his statement as to the persons of whom he had bought the gas fittings. Mr. Collier having summed up the evidence adduced by him, commented on the case, con tending that Mr. Lane had only done what was his bounden duty ; that if the jury conld be per suaded to give Mr. Ralph a verdict, it would be a day of jubilee and rejoicing for the whole class of marine store dealers and receivers of stolen goods, but it would also be a disastrous day for every honest man and for the administration of criminal justice. Mr. M. Smith replied on the whole case, inviting the jury not to join in a tilt against the whole class of marine store dealers, but to consider its case on its merits. _ Mr. Justice Coleridge summed up the case at considerable length, observing that if the jury be lieved the statement of Davis there was au end of the plaintiff's case. The jury returned a verdict for the defendant. The Judge—Do you believe, gentlemen, that the property was stolen from the defendant, and that the plaintiff received it with a knowledge that it was stolen The Foreman—Yes, my lord.
