by bringing it into a public court, by not suffering judg ment by default, by exposing parties who were witne-1)3 with foolish persons sitting by ready to grin in their faces at any indecency that might arise. If they con sidered the defendant guilty, then the. question was, what damages they would give against a man who had been guilty of this crime. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff —Damage s 2501. COURT OF EXGREQUER, July 10. (Sittings as Nisi Prius at ie Guildhall before the LORD C HIE F BARON and Special Jurs.) WA ILER V. BISHOP. The Attorney-General, Mr. Martin, and Mr. Cleasley conducted the case for the plaintiff, and Mr. Crowder, Mr. W. 11. Watson, and Mr. Ogle appeared for the de fendant. This was an action to recover a sum of money alleged to be owing by the defendant, in his character of a member h committee of the Dutch Hanoverian Railway Company, to the plaintiff, a shock broker for the purchase of shares and " continuations" for and on ac count of the cqmpany. It appeared that some time after this company had been brought out, the plaintiff re ceived instructions from the board to purchase up the shares as they . came into the market, with a view of maintaining their value. For a length of time these purchases were effected, and the purchase notes made out " bought for account of N. Ogle, Esq.," and although a letter was put in evidence, which purported to be an authority from the company, and wherein there was a recognition of the correctness of the plaintiff's account, it was contended on the part o f the defendant that he bad not only not signed the paper. but that he had said he would not sign it for a t h ou sand pounds. The case occupied the whole of the day, and the only Questions between the parties were, whether these pur chases had been made by the plaintiff on account of the company, or on the private account of the director of the name of Ogle. The jury retired at twenty minutes past five o'clock, and at five minutes to seven sent a note into court pray ing that they might be diseharged, as there was not the least chance of their agreeing to a unanimous verdict. The Lord Chief Baron having left the Court, Mr. Baines, from the Marshall's-office read the note, sad asked the attorneys on both sides if they would cori sent to the discharge of the jury? The Attorney for the plaintiff said he could not give his consent. Mr. Baines thereupon communicated that fact to the 3% 11 7 - About eight o'clock the jury again sent out to ask whether they might not be discharged, as the probabi lity of their agreeing was more distant than ever. Mr. Baines returned an answer in the negative, as the parties would not give their consent. Shortly afterwards, however, Mr. Baines sent a mes senger to the house of the Lord Chief Baron in Queen square, communicating the request of the jury, and asking for instructions. At nine o'cl - ck, before the messenger had returned, the jury came into Court, and delivered a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 3,9291. 17s. 3d. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, July 9. (Before Mr. Commissioner Homt.:n-13.) IN THE BANKRUPTCY OF WRIGHT D AN CO. A meeting for the purpos e of receiving proofs of debts in this estate, where the bankrupts had been bankers in Henrietta street, Covent-garden, was held to-day, but only one proof was tendered, that of the Norwich Union Company, for 23,0001., which was admitted without dis cussion. (Before Mr. Commissioner PANE.) IN THE BANKRUPTCY OF W. C. WELLS. This bankrupt, described as a share dealer of the Poultry, applied for his certificate, which was unopposed. His debts were 778/., and his assets one good debt of 2/. 16s. 3 Mr. Commissioner PANE refused to grant the certifi cate forthwith, observing that persons who chose to speculate in railway shares to the injury of their credi tors could not be allowed to use this court as a means to rid themselves of their liabilities, and to start afresh in a similar cour.te. The allowance of the certificate in this case must be adjourned for 12 months from the date of the fiat. (13fore Mr. Commissioner GOULBURN.) IN THE BANKRUPTCY OF D. E COLUMBINE. This bankrupt was a well-known attorney of Carlton Chambers, Regent-street, and this was app ointed for the p a ssing o f adjourned last examination. The COMMISSIoNER read the report of the official as signee. which s-t forth that the bankrupt's balance-sheet commenced in 1831 with a sum of 6,9491. ss. as capital received from his parents, upon an agreement to pay them the same rate of interest as its investment in the public funds would have produced. The total amount of the bankrupt's debts was 18,7.0/. I Is. 9d., while his assets were the value of 1,500 shares in the Direct Lon - don and Exeter Railway Company, due for services ren dered to that company up to September. 1845, a bill of costs against that company about 3501., a debt owing by a person named Miller 361., furniture and fixtures about 1001., and some cash given up, making a total of 3,3631. There was also a claim of 5001. as a proportion of the profits as joint solicitor to the Direct London a nd Exeter Railway Company with Messrs. Stokes, and various bills of costs due by parties whose names were not specified upon the balance-sheet. The report concluded by stat ing that better accounts were desirable, including a de tailed profit and loss account, and a statement of the names of the parties against whom the bankrupt had claims for professional business done. Mr. BAGLEY, counsel for the assignees, agreed with the official assignee in asking for an adjournment, and complained that the bankrupt had withheld his assist ance from his creditors in some proceedings now pending in the courts at Boulogne for the recovery of property which belonged to Mr. Columbine. Some jewels, which the bankrupt alleged he had sent from Boulogne to Amsterdam to a banker whose name he did not recol lect, by a person whose name he did not know, had now found their way back to England, but a claim to them was set up on behalf of the bankrupt's daughter; and the assignees desired that the property should be deposited in some safe hands until the right to it was established. There was also a book at Boulogne relating to the affairs of a Major Teesdale, which the bankrupt had hitherto withheld from his creditors by refusing to give any authority for iti removal. Mr. COOKE, on behalf of the bankrupt, professed an entire willingness to render every reasonable assistance to the assignees. The Learned Comartssiormt hoped that the bankrupt would, as he was bound to do, sis ast his creditors in their efforts to recover property, which would tend to n t hei r him in a better position before the Court. After some discussion the last examination was ad journed until Nov. 4. July 10. (Before Mr. Commissioner GOIILBURN.) IN RE SNITS. This bankrupt, who had carried on business at Brent wood, came up tor his last examination. He stated that he had not been able to pay the accnuntant, and conse quently had not filed his balance sheet ; his inability arose in cons- quence of the assignees having refused to grant him any allowance, although the assets would amount to nearly 1,0001. His HONOUR—Is that a reality or only assets in figures ? The Official Assignee said there were a great many debts to get in, but he could not say what would be recovered. His Hosotra said that this was one of the cases where the creditors took everything from the bankrupt, and debarred him from doing what the law required. He h aped that, in the Lew Act, the point would be taken into consideration. Mr. Commissioner Folvin.Awgirz said, in such cases, he always directed the official assignee to make out the accounts, and allowed him a reasonable sum for so doing. His HONOUR thought this an advisable course in the present case, and adjourned the case for one month, with protection to the bankrupt. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. THIRD COURT. Edward Lovell, a genteelly-dressed young man, de scribed as a clerk in an office, was indicted for a burglary on the dwelling-boa's of Mr. James Peac u hy, a res st pect able pawnbroker, in Goswell-street, St. Lke's, and eat- able therein six gold chains, value 201. and upwards, and diver s other articles, his property.

Lloyd , aso licitor, residin g at 49, Doughty- street, Mecklenburgh square. The defend tut, Mrt, by the a d v ice of his counsel, • Payne, pleaded Guilty. Mr. PAATNE said that the conduct of the prisoner had certainly been most extraordinary. Ho must have been either mad or drunk on the occasion. He was instructed that the defendant had been sent by his father, who sup. Sti 'plied Mr. Lloyd's family with milk, to request payment of a bill, and committed the assault upon Mrs. Lloyd i when is a state of intoxication. It was not a case in which the defendant could offer any reparation ; all he 4x3014 do tr 43 to oiler an apology, and thiow himself upon - the mercy* the Court. Mr. - COK EVANS, who appeared to prosecute, said lthe statement which the detendant had instructed his /counsel to make was untrue. lie was not the son, but e biother of the milkman, and had not been sent to _Mr. Lloyd's as stated, but he had gone there and ob• *tined motley from Airs. Lloyd, withQet the knowledge or authority of his brother, from whose services there any he ha been for some tim e discharged; nor was ground for the statement that he was intoNicated at thj time he committed t he outrage upon Mrs. Lloyd. That re spectable lady did not wish to aggravate the charge against the defendant, but she had come forward to pro secute, with great pain to herself, and entirely on public grounds, for the protection of her sex from insult. Ile trusted that his Lordship would read over the depositions before passing sentence. He would then see that at , assault of a most extraordinary nature had been com mitted upon a lady in her own drawing-room, at a time when, uufortunately, she was unprotected. But for the circumstance that her screams were heard by her mother. who was in the nursery upon the third float., and by two gentlemen who were passing under the window at the m it was impossible to s a y what mi g ht have been the triesul it H LOADSIIIP thea read over the depositions, from which it appeared thi.t about eight o'clock on Saturday ev ening, the 19th of June last, the defendant obtaine d admission to Mrs. Lloyd's drawing room, under pretence of being the milkman, who had come to ask payment of a bill. The servant having left the room with the door open, almost immediately went out upon an errand; and about the same time Mrs. Lloyd's little girl, being called by her grandmother, went up stairs to her. The de fendant then shut the drawing-room door, and threw his arms round Mrs. Lloyd's neck, and on being thrust away and commanded instantly to leave the house, he threw his arms round her body, endeavouring to kiss her. A violent struggle then took place, and Mrs. Lloyd screamed out for assistance to her mother, who happened at the moment to be in the nursery upon the third floor. Mrs. Lloyd succeeded in liberating herself from the de fendant, and got to the window, which was open, and called for assistance to two gentlemen who were passing at the time. The defendant continued his attack upon Mrs. Lloyd until her mother, alarmed by her screams. came down stairs and let in the two gentlemen. The defendant then made his escape from the drawing:room, and met the gentlemen in the passage, who having as certained from Mrs. Lloyd that the man was, as she then supposed, the milkman, and that she could identify him, turned him into the streets. The depositions of Mr. Pott, 'a proctor of Doctors Commons, and of Mr. Simpson, of Great Ormond street, confirmed several parts of Mrs. Lloyd's state ment. They added that Mrs. Lloyd came to the drawing room window in a most agitated manner, and called to them for assistance. They stopped, and heard her several times command some one to leave her, and to leave the room, and calling out to her mother for help. She came to the window several times, in a most excited state, trembling with alarm, and requested the wit nesses to get into the house over the area rails and through the kitchen, and continued screaming out to her mother, until that lady, alarmed by her daug hter's cries, came down stairs and let them in. Just at that time the defendant looked out of the drawing-room win dow, and when the:street door was opened the witnesses met him at the door. They then took him up stairs, when Mrs. Lloyd having stated in the presence of the defendant that she had been most grossly insulted by him, related to the witnesses the particulars of the assault. On learning from Mrs. Lloyd that he was the milkman, and that she could identify him, Mr. Putt walked the defendant down stairs, when he said, 64 Ah, you had better go and look to the lady." Mr. Pott then took him by the collar and shoved him out. Mrs. Lloyd, Mrs. Bishop, her mother, and the other witnesses were in attendance. Mr. Pott, the proctor, was then called, and, in answer to a question pat by the Learned Judge, said that the defendant smelt of rum, but he certainly was not in toxicated. The Learned JUDGE then sentenced the defendant to be imprisoned for 14 days. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. ROME ClRCUl7'.—Hertford, July 9. The commission for the county of Herts was opened on Thursday, and, contrary to the usual custom, busi ness was proceeded with in both courts in the after part of the day. There were 18 causes for trial, five of which are special jury cases, and 15 prisoners for trial on the Crown side. The cases tried hitherto have been quite devoid of interest, and Mr. Baron Parke was engaged nearly the whole of to-day in trying a case involving a question as to the warranty of soundness of some sheep at the time of their sale, the details of which were of no interest except to the parties. It was ex pected that the Crown business would be finished last night, and Mr. Justice Coltman will then assist in dis posing of the cause list. OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Abingdon, July 9. The commission for this circuit was opened here yes terday with the usual formalities. Business commenced this morning at ten o'clock in the Nisi Prius Court, and soon after eleven in the Crown Court. There were only six causes and 11 prisoners for trial. Of these one was charged with manslaughter, one with burglary, five with larceny, one with hig'uny, two with assaults with intent, &c., and with a common assault. CROWN COURT.—(Betore Mr. Justice ERLE.) John Plant, a gamekeeper, was indicted for assaulting Edward I. Wilkinson, on the 28th September last. Mr. Williams conducted the prosecution; Mr. Carring ton the defence. It appeared, from the evidence of the prosecutor, that on the day in question, as the prosecutor, who is a hatter, residing in Broad-street, Reading, and who appeared in the witness box " bearded like a pard," was going to the Twyford station of the Great Western Railway, carry ing a gun with him for his amusement along the road, he saw a jay flying near him, fired at it and shot it. The bird fell in a field, some twenty yards off the road. The prosecutor went in and brought it out, and then proceeded along the road, but was soon overtaken by the defendant, who is gamekeeper to Mr. Palmer, one of the Members for this county, and who, without any notice, struck him on the neck, and attempted to wrest the gun from him, and in the struggle fired it off, the prosecutor having luckily turned the muzzle from his body just as the defendant was striving to reach the trigger. The prosecutor, having released himself from the gripe of the defendant, went on the road, but was again followed and overtaken by the defendant, who struck him violently and took away his gun. The prosecutor, seeing several farmers and farm labourers near the spot, complained to them, but they would not interfere, and refused to give their names or addresses. On cross-examination, the prosecutor said he had upwards of 1,000 partridge and pheasant eggs in his shop window; that in the course of 14 years he had been convicted ten times by magistrates for offences against the game-laws, and six of those times by means of perjury; that for this particular transaction he had been fined by the magistrates; that he appealed against the conviction to the quarter sessions, and that there the conviction was affirmed with 201. costs; and that the prisoner did not ask for his license or certificate before he assaulted him. A labourer who was at work in a field near where the shot was fired, confirmed the prosecutor as to a great part of the trans action, and another witness confirmed him as to the in jury done to his leg. Mr. CARRINGTON then proceeded to address the jury for the prisoner. As the Learned Gentleman was doing so, His LORDSHIP said, that in such a case as this he thought he should be acting in the manner best calcu lated to effect the ends of justice by allowing the pri soner to speak with the prosecutor. The parties then conversed for a few moments, but not being able to come to any arrangement, Mr. CARRINGTON said he would submit to a verdict against his client. The prisoner was thereupon found Guilty, and fined IN. CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE and Common Jul ies ) ANDERSON V. CAMPBELL. Mr. Keating and Mr. Hodgson appeared for the plain tiff ; Mr. Whateley and Mr. Selfe for the defendant. This was an action of assumpsit tor a qaarter's rent of a house in Burton-crescent, London, due at Christ mas last. The case for the plaintiff was as follows : The plaintiff, who was formerly a banker, had given up that business, and had taken recently to building and buying houses, and letting them. In the spring of 1843 a Mrs. Neave, the wife of a gentleman holding a high judicial situation in India, having been obliged to come to England for the benefit of her health and the educa tion of her children, proposed to take the house in question from the plaintiff, but he, wishing to have some other security than that of a married woman, a Mr. Campbell, a surgeon, residing in Burton-crescent, and a friend of Mrs. Neave, agreed to become the tenant, and entered into a written agreement to hold it for two years from Midsummer, 1845. Mrs. Neave then went into possession, and held it till the end of the term, when, in consequence of some repairs being required, a negotiation commenced for a new holding, and a written agreement for a five years' tenancy, and similar in other respects to the former one, was drawn up, but was not executed, Mrs. Neave wishing that the repairs should be first exeznited. The plaintiff executed all the repairs fo Neave . h. e remained new t es i a n s y w possession,as not completed between the plaintiff and the defendant b tb s a t t th w e er w e r r i e tt q e u s ire c d ss . tr M ac r t s. was paid, as before, by the hands of the first st taking.

Soon after Chriatmas te the Th p e la c irt e iff fo a r was comm ence d. summer, 1845, the pl a i n tiff then took Mrs. Neave as his la t d he t d h e e fe d n e c fe e s w d s a s s , t t hhastvtihseg tenancy d b a e t t w m e i e d n . tenant, and the she held on from quarter to quarter as such tenant, and gave the notices to quit in that charac ter; that the plaintiff never pretended to treat those notices as waste paper while she was in occupation; that she agreed to hold on only on condition that the plaintiff should put the house in a proper state of repair, and especially so as to prevent the chimneys from smoking; and that this not having been done, she was obliged t ) quit. In support of this view, several witnesses, among whom was Mrs. Neave, were called. Mr. KEATING replied, commenting on the circumstance that the deft-nclant did not produce the receipts for rent given after Midsummer, 1845, and, from that omission, urging the jury to infer that in those receipts th'e de fendant must have been treated as the tenant, or other wise he would produce them. His LORDSPIP summed up, and the jury, after a few minutes' consideration, returned a verdict for the de mfeninduatnt SCOTT V. BORGNIS. Mr. Whateley and Mr. Pigott were for the plaintiff; and Mr. Godson and Mr. Keating for the defendant. This was an action for an assault. When the facts had been opened his Lord shi p suggested that it might be arranged. The plaintiff's cou nsel thereupon offered to be content with an apology a nd a verdict that would carry costs, but the defendant 's counsel would accede to no terms, It appeared that the plaintiff was a retired surgeon, residing in this county on a farm, to the ma nagement of which he paid great attentirm. also kept a boarding-house, where gentlemen u iudep , nciont :ireumstances took up their ab de with him. The de r'endant, who is of foreign parentage, had been one of his lodgers for about ten months, when one morning at ireakfast a dispute arose between him and the plaintiff as to the best mode of "dressing" mengold-wurzel. The defendant mentioned one particular fashion. The plain tiff sharply contradicted him, whertup m the d .fendant ,aid that he knew of course that the p,aintiff w .uld con tradict him, as he had a mania for contradiction.

The defendant having made no apology for his conduct, this action was brought. On the close of the plaintiff's case, Mr. GODSON addressed the jury for the defendant.

EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF JEWELLERY, &C., IN LEA DENHALL- STREET.—John Daniell, alias Johnson, and Marianne Smith, who had a child in her arms, were brought before Alderman Gibbs, charged with haying stolen gold and silver watches, diamond rings, &c. &c., .if the value of about 1,0001., the property of Messrs. Brown and Walker, of Whitechapel and Leadenhull street. The premises in Leadenhall-street were those in which the robbery was committed, and the moment the discovery took place the prosecutor employed Daniel flaydon and Robinson Webb, tdvo of the most active and vigilant officers of the City police, in the work of de tecting the thieves and recovering the stolen goods. Mr. Charles Brown said—l am in partnership with Mr. John Walker, and carrying on business as jewel lers, &c., at No. 92, High-street, Whitechapel, and also at No. 110, Leadenhall-street. The male prisoner was shopman to us up to Sattaday night last, and had all the property in the shop in Leadenhall-street under his care. The articles were very valuable, consisting of gold and silver watches, gold chains, diamond rings and pins, and the rest of the usual stock of a jeweller. It was the male prisoner's duty to sleep on the pre mises every night, and it was his duty every Tuesday morning to bring the keys to us, and to come in the evening for them and return to sleep in the house. He brought the keys as usual last Sunday morning to our house in Whitechapel, but he did not return in the evening. I visited the premises on Monday morning, at about eight o'clock, and saw that they were locked up ac cording to custom. I found my lad at the door, and he said that Mr. Daniell had not arrived. I opened the premises, and, as the shop was dark, directed that the shutters should be removed. I then perceived that a number of articles had disappeared, and the tickets which had belonged to them were scattered about the place ; and I said to the lad, " I see how it is." I then brought in some gentlemen. (Here Haydon, the officer, produced several bundles containing jewellery of various kinds.) I can identify the go:d watch found by one of the officers upon Daniell as our property. and part of that which had been on the premises On Saturday, and had not been ac counted for by Daniell. Mr. John Walker, of the firm of Brown and Walker, said—l w ant on Monday morning to our house in Leadenhall-street, and found everything there in a state of confusion, and the property stolen, and the tickets about the premises. I instantly commenced a course of search, accompanied by Haydon and Webb, the officers. I went with them for the purpose of identi fying Daniell. After having gone to a variety of places, we at last called at No. 21, Green-place, Lisson-grove, where the officers knocked at the door, and inquired whether Mr. Johnson was at home. "Yes," said the i p n e g rs w on e w sa h w o opened fneedmale p the d r o i o s r e , n ‘ e ‘ walk in h l e p r on wh e e n t t h e e r r - Mr. Johnson was at home? She re p lied in the negative. prisoner, and as ked t I said, upon looking at her, "Your name is Daniell?" " No," said she, "it is Johnson, and Mr. John son is out." I at once recognised a particular book which was on the table as Daniell's, and I said, " That's his book." and one of the officers said " That's his hat." We then searched the next room, and W. bb discovered Daniell under the bed , and pulled him out. I said to Daniell, " You scoundrel, where is my property ?" ani he replied, " I see its no use—it's in that box," pointing to a heavy trunk. The trunk was then opened, and we found almost all the property which had been stolen in a carpet bag in it, done up in fourteen parcels, and we took an inventory of the property. Daniell made no statement, but the female prisoner inquired of him what it was he said, to which he replied that he would tell her presently. The whole of the property produced is ours. The female prisoner—Mr. Walker said at the time he did not " charge" me. Mr. Walker—Yes, but afterwards I found that you had a black brooch and ring of mine. Robinson Webb (658) City policeman, and Daniel Haydon, who had traced the prisoners and the property from place to place, with extraordinary skill, gave evi dence in all the main points exactly corresponding with that given by Mr. Walker. When Daniell acknowledged that there was no use in further attempts at conceal ment, he handed to one of the officers a key, which he singled out as the key with which to open the trunk, and also the keys adapted to the lock of the carpet bag in which the property was contained. Each lock was at once opened with the key selected. In Daniell's pockets were found not only the gold watch identified by Mr. Brown, but several foreign coins. Mr. Walker said he had no doubt that the coins were the property of the firm, as Daniell was entrusted to purchase old gold and silver. When the officers told Daniell what they were, and asked him whether he knew where they came from, he nodded assent, and when asked whether ho wished to say anything before the house was searched for the pro perty, he said, " Well, it's all over, it's no use, you'll find it all there," pointing to the trunk. When the officers told the woman that she must consider herself their prisoner, she replied, " Yes, I have no other wish but to share his punishment." The prisoners were then remanded. A great deal of ingenuity, it appears, had been exer cised by the prisoners to escape detection, but it was in a few days overcome by the indefatigable zeal and vigi lance of the policemen. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ASSAULT ON A it AGIST RA.TE.—Benjamin Blachmore was brought before Mr. Bingham, charg ed with having assaul ed Mr. Attaining, a magistrate of Wolverhamp ton, at present staying at the &Triers Hotel, Oxford street. It appeared that on the previous evening Mr. Manning was in Oxford-street, near the Princess's Theatre, about nine o'clock, when he asked a person to direct him to a watering-screen. Oue person pointed out a yard close by, in which was a stable. Complainant went into the stable, and, seeing a man there, asked for and obtained accommodation. When about leavines defendant came up to him, seized him by the collar, an struck him a violent blow on the chest, dragged him out of the place, and threw him into the street. The defendant denied that he was the person who had assaulted the complainant, and called some wit nesses to prove that it was another man who had ill treated complainant, but Mr. Bingham said he did not believe the defendant's denial, or the evidence of his wit nesses. Complainant had acted most properly in seek ing the privacy he had done, and, therefore, he ought not to have been subjected to such violence. Defendant was fined forty shillings, which he paid. SOUTHWARK. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF RAILWAY IRON.—Thomas Malsey and Robert Howe, the former manager, and the latter clerk, to an iron merchant at Banksidc, were charged, before Mr. Seeker, with assaulting Robert Blandford, Police sergeant, 12 M. It appeared that a few weeks back the sergeant discovered 4001. worth of new iron rails in the yard of the defendant's employer. Tha' circumstance led to the apprehension of a man named Haynes, who had sold a great portion of the iron, which was believed to belong to the South- Western Railway, a great quantity having been missed from its junction with the Richmond line, and Haynes was committed for trial at the Surrey Sessions. At the trial the witnesses were unable to swear that the iron was the same that Haynes had brought to the yard, and he was acquitted. Application was then made to the Bench by the railway company for the iron to be given up to them, but the Bench refused to make any order until better proof of its being their property was given. The company being positive of the fact, directed Bland ford to keep a watch on it, which he did. On the pre vious night he saw about thirty labourers removing the iron in a truck Nom the yard, and on stopping them he was knocked down, and the wheels of the truck went over his legs. Yesterday morning, at nine o'clock, he went to the yard with Mr. Rayland, chief clerk to the solicitors of the Great Northern Railway, and Mr. Mur ray, a wharfinger at Battle-bridge, when the rails were identified as their property, and not that of the South- Western Company. Defendants were in the yard at the time, and resisted the officer in his duty, for which they were taken into custody. Mr. SECHER said it was a case in which a serious robbery had been committed, and with a view to have it fully investigated he should commit the prisoners for trial. THAMES. Dennis Buckley, a lodging•house keeper, was charged with the following series of unmanly and savage assaults on a slender, delicate- looking female, named Elizabeth Drinan : The prosecutrix resides at No. 20, Crown-court, But ler's-buildings, and on Friday afternoon her sister-in law, the prisoner, and his wife, were at her house. In the course of the afternoon some altercation ensued be• tween the prisoner's wife and her sister-in-law, and witness interfered to pacify them, when the prisoner seized her by the hair her head, of which he tore out a large handful, and heat her so violently that she be came insensible. When she recovered she immediately left the house, but the prisoner was waiting for her in the street, and again rushed at her and felled her to the earth.

The prisoner was then removed to the sills REFORM IN TAXATION—THE EXCISE. We have received the following letter, addressed to the National Association for Reform of the Excise Laws, by Mr. Wallace, of Kelly : Gentlemen, —Although I have withdrawn from Par liamentary and eublic life, I continue to watch woe intense interest every movement in behalf of national reforms and improvement, and I have discovered with unspeakable satistactien the strong disgust which at lase is being so signally mauifested against the continuance of the degrading and pestiferous usages, rules, and laws, under which the excise are enabled to tyrannise and ride rough-shod over all classes in these kingdoms. Having been one of the few public men who have ob served the signs of the times on this question for many years past, and having myself, when in the House o Commons, taken an active part in trying to expose the carefully •concealed groundwork and superstructure of the horrid system, I will detail briefly the circumstance& I allude to. " Having been for some years closely enraged in ex posing the innumerable defects of the pest-office depart ment, and of the no less gross abuses which from tame immemorial the inhabitants of Scotland have been sub jected to in the administration of the law—through which, let it be specially remembered, a great part of the oppressions inflicted by the excise are accomplished -1 resolved on superadding to these laborious avocations the looking into the workings of the existing excise laws. " With this in view, I set to in earnest to read, un derstand, and master the voluminous reports which had been laid before Parliament and the country, by an in fluential royal commission appointed to inquire into the excise laws, and of which my distinguished friend, Sir Henry Parnell, was chairman; and having satisfied my self of the usefulness of the task I had in hand, I put myself into c onfidential communication with Sir Henry, end received the utmost encouragement to prosecute my labours, with all th e advice and assistance he was at g i v e me while a member of the Administration. When I had fully prepared myself for the onslaugh t, liberty W h to I gave notice in the usual form through the books of th'e House of Commons, takieg care this was done in such eeneral terms as would let in a full exposure of the system, which mode of dealing with public departments I had invariably adopted when blowing up the Post office authorities, and found so useful in thwarting the attempts sure to be made by some chicken Lord of the Treasury, to misconstrue what is said, and so divert attention from the merits of a case. Having with difficulty at last found an open day for bringing on my motion, and having Sir Henry Parnell by my side, and his invaluable reports at hand, I was proceed ing deliberately and methodically with the exposé I bad to make, which happened to be during that dangerous hour for those who care nothing for place men and Ministers of State—namely, the usual dinner hour—when I could easily observe that means were being employed for counting out the House, and so getting rid of an unpalatable exposure of a favourite source of revenue (which with Chancellors of Exche quer, every one is), which is adapted to squeeze out the last farthing from the pockets of the people, through machinery no less savage than secret, and so extrava gantly expensive and dilatory, as often to drive the honest and upright trader to compromise his character and sacrifice his money, to encourage and reward train ed spies and perjured informers, whose insatiable maws are ever on the stretch for the unwary and acciden tul offender against alleged usages and customs, and bye-laws, and statute-laws, purposely intermixed and so unintelligibly blended, as to render excise courts the very terror of any one who is dragged there, and the constant scene of the most appalling injustice. I had said about this much when the House was counted out, and as the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Secre tary to the Treasury were present, either of whom have at all times the power of keeping a House, if they please, you may judge whether the usual trick was not re , orted to, of what in Parliamentary slang is callee Whipping the House out,' which is a favourite way of getting over disagreeable exposures. I have entered into this matter, in order to show the leaning the present Administration is likely to have towards the maintenance of the: excise laws, for it was during Lord Melbourne's official career the above took piece. " I observe the Associaticin is to insist for pledges from candidates at next general election in behalf of a reform of the excise laws; this is all well enough, yet it is but a step of the ladder which I would fain see up raised. " In the first place, and as a general rule, I consider it much more safe to expect pledges to be unblushingly broken through than maintained, owing to the many temptations which offer to cupidity, personal aggran disement, or honours, during the continued unconstitu tional existence of seven years Parliaments; public money has many attractions—few men are found to with stand the chink of Treasury gold—and I firmly believe. that when men once get public money into their pockets, it may be said they cannot live without it, and there fore, if you are wise, you will be very careful what sort of pledges you exact, and what sort of men you put them to, and trust. " I believe, from what I have lately read from speeches in Parliament, that it is already determined to maintain the Excise laws in all their odious integrity. " Remember the good old adage—' What is every body's business is nobody's.' VG hat will pledges from candidates do in the face of this ? Remember, that so carefully are the excise laws hid from view, and shrouded in mystery, that even lawyers are continually puzzled with them. Remember the host of placemen they feed and shelter, and do not forget that these folks keep Ministers of State, Chan cellors of the Exchequer, et hoc genus omne, in the purest state of ignorance—so much so, as to leave no doubt on my mind of the fact, that in regard to the practice and knowledge of the excise laws, her Majesty's Ministers, as a body, would have no chance with a common excise man. Therefore, to master the subject, and take in hand to alter or abolish these laws is a task Ministers wont grapple with, if by any means-they can avoid it. " I have never seen a practical man of business who had endeavoured to master this subject, who did not be lieve that the whole system of excise should be abolished and the collection of the revenue be made.over to the custom house ; and so it will be when the people put their shoulders to it, as I now would fain hope they will do, although I myself got no encouragement from them to contin ue my lemurs. " The reform ation of the Post-office, and the substitu ftioorneed on the of penny postage for the o ld ' j og - tro t,' were b o th Whig Government by pressure from with- h a without; yin g th e out. Free-trade was forced on the Whig Government by — exc a i pressure from without. " Scotch law reform was forced on the Whig fromGovern mentforand assured of the same principle being the right one to la y w on s a m bo a l y ish r e e d st , and excise officials removed from the sight of freemen. Pledge every one you can; but, along with this, look out for some lionest, industrious, h d • adop t andby pressure ss rust t r : , ar -working men, to send to the House of Commons, pledged to take in hand this great nation.d cause, and incessantly to ring it in whenever the ears of the Ministers of the Crown, it may be possible to do so, and to give them no rest, and take none to themselves, until they have worked out this na ti,eial deliveranc e. Thi s , gentlemen, is the advice I venture to offer you, and I trust that my long service in behalf of will plead my excuse for the great liberty I have taken. "Itis no easy task you have to impose. It is enough, and more than enough, for any one man, however stout hearted and able. Look out for such men—care nothing for their lineage or country—honesty is the best policy — and to keep those honest whom you honour and trust — pledge them to come back to their electors at a conve nient fixed day in each year, to render an account of their stewardsbip, and die prepared to resign their high trust, if demanded by those who sent themA " Adverse majorities are the true way to bring Mi nisters to their senses. There is yet ample time to de mand a distinct answer from Lord John Russell as to the intention of Government with regard to the excise laws. Lord John, as Premier and leader of the House of Commons is all in all ; Sir Charles Wood, the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, is nobody—literally so—that is, he has no power to maintain a promise even should he give one explicitly, and therefore I hope to see this point settled between Lord John Russell and you, by having the question first recorded on the b a ook deliberate of the House of Commons, an d thereby getting answer one way or o ther. "In conclusion, I beg to express my very strongest approval of the objects the association success ha attending in view, and my anxious desire for complete them. "Permit me to tender my, name to the Association, with my wish of being allowed to have the honour of being a member of it. Farther, I request that I may be added to the list of subscribers I pat h the e newspa our to to be, be published by the Associatio n. hon gentlemen, your faithful and P obedient servant, "ROBERT WALLACE, lately M.. for Greenock." •-------r-- --...n.'-.---"---__ _ DUNDEE TRADE, JULY 6.
