FOOD RIOTS IN SCOTLAND. GRANTOWN, STRATHSPEY.— This peaceable village presented on the evenings of Wednesday and Thursday last a scene of tumult and disturbance of a very unusual nature. Fur some time back great quantities of grain and meal were carried away from the district to Lecha ber and elsewhere, and food was considerably raised in price, particularly meal. Latterly, the Grantown meal dealers refuse to sell small portions to the villagers, as it was more convenient for them to dispose of their stock wholsale. Oa the days mentioned, or the preceding day, several Lochaber dealers, carters, Sec., having made their appearance, and it having been rumoured that they had threatened, if they did not get meal (for which they were willing to give a high price), they would, as in days of yore, take the same by force ; this bravado, added to the fact that the meal dealers had refused to a •commodate the poor and tradesmen with small quan tities, so incensed the populace, that a meeting of the inhabitants was convened by tuck of drum, to consider what steps should be taken. About seven o'clock P.M., several hundreds congregated on the village square, from whence they proceeded to the lodging place of the Lochaber men, and carried off the carts, eight in number, to the square. They then called again on the parties, for the purpose of getting them to agree to go home without meal, but could not see or gain access to them ; and, we regret to state that, in conse quence of this, the carts were unwheeled and tossed about—one of the wheels being found next day in the river Spey, about a mile's distance from the town. The populace having ascertained that the Lochaber men were determ'ned to carry off loads with them, though not to such an extent as they contemplated at first, congregated on Thursday night about the same hour, for the purpose of driving them away without meal. The district officer of police and a special constable having taken a prisoner, the mob rescued him, and a scufflo ensued, in the course of which both the officials were struck to the effusion of their blood. Sheriff Colquhoun and Mr. Mackay, Procurator Fiscal, proceeded to Grantown, to take a precognition of the case. Mr. Macbean, superintendent of police, with one or two constables, also went thither. In the course of the examination on Monday, seven apprehensions took place; but when the prisoners were about to be driven off to Inverness, a mob deforced the authorities and rescued their townsmen. A messen ger was instantly despatched, who arrived in Inverness at two o'clock on Tuesday morning, and immediately again set out on his return, with an additional officer, and from 40 to 50 batons. In the meantime, 60 special constables were sworn in at Grantown, who were to as semble at ten o'clock yesterday (Tuesday) forenoon, and apprehend the rioters, as well as preserve the peace.— Inverness Courier. ELGIN, JAN. 29.—The present enormously high prices of provisions, chiefly meal, with a riotous disposition in several districts of the counties of Aberdeen and Banff, have been marked by several symptoms in this country. The extensive exportation of oats and oatmeal has crea ted considerable excitement in the minds of the working classes regarding the quantity of meal for consumpt. Immediately on receiving information of it, Mr. Sheriff Cameron issued circulars for a meeting of the corn mer chants and principal farmers to be held in the Court House to day (Friday), it having been suggested, that if as assurance could be given on the authority of the corn growers of the county not selling more of their present oat crop for exportation, and only for home consumption, whereby the working classes could be as sured that a sufficient quantity of oats would be retained in the county for their support till next harvest, it would go far to allay their present alarm. This was regarded by the community as a judicious proceeding, and apprehensions of scarcity seemed to be removed, but the outcry still continued against the high price. On Tuesday evening, the younger portion of the town paraded the streets, and afterwards did some damage to the residence of a gentleman extensively concerned in the grain trade. Disaffection also prevailing amongst the people at the shipping ports of Burghead and Gar mouth, the cxportatien of meal having been prevented, ; a warning proclamation by the Sheriff and Magis trates was issued on Wednesday morning in the dis turbed districts, and stating, that measures were taking for a sufficient supply of corn for food for the inhabit ants. In order, also, to remove from the minds of the fitherruen of Burghead the apprehension of scarcity and of high prices, the principal inhabitants, at the beginning of the week. gave assurance of plenty. This had the effect of temporarily lull ng the dissatisfaction of the people ; but this state of matters did mot long continue. On Tuesday, the Ceres, Captain Mason, being freighted with a cargo of meal for Leith, a number of women and children congregated at the harbcur, and succeeded in re-landing the commodity. In the scuttle two bolls were destroyed and carried away, the remainder were lodged in the storehouse. On Tuesday, Sheriff Cameron, the Procurator Fiscal, and Mr. hay of the police, with some difficulty succeeded in shipping a quantity of meal. Ott Wednesday the proprietor of Burghead visited the port, and got the inhabitants to assist in getting the vessels about to sail ready for sea, and the greatest order prevailed till the arrival of a large party of fisher men from Hopeinan, who roused many of the women in Burghead, who took a quantity of meal from one vessel, and lodged it in a granary, and prevented another from 1 receiving grain. The Sheriff of the county, and about 70 special constables, subsequently endeavoured to suppress the tumult, but without effect. We are assured, on good authority, that not one man belonging to Burghead took any active part in the riot of Wednesday, although there is no doubt they sympathised with those who did so. On Thursday all was quiet at Burghead. Similar dis turbances have taken place at Fochabers, Garmouth, and other towns on the coast. A large body of special con stables were sworn in here on Wednesday morning; and yesterday a detachment of military arrived from Fort George, and are now stationed in the town. Hitherto the destruction of property in this town and neighbourhood has been trifling, but great excitement prevails. Losstemotern.—A public meeting of the inhabitants of Lossiemouth, Stottield, and Branderburgh, was held in the secession Church, Elgin, on Tuesday last. From six hundred to seven hundred were present, Mr. Robert Brander, shipping agent, was called to the chair. After some preliminary discussion, the following reso lution was proposed and unanimously agreed to:— " That Messrs. William Scott, A. Sutter, James Stewart, and John Henderson, be appointed as a deputation from this meeting, to meet a committee of the trades of Elgin, with the view of getting a joint committee to call on Messrs. John Allan, Alexander Cay, and James Hoyes, for the purpose of urging upon them to refrain from the exportation of oats and oatmeal, from this county, until the exigencies of the county as to this description of food are provided for." The meeting having thereafter communicated to Mr. W. Stephen the above resolution, requested him to state whether he was prepared to act on it ; and Mr. Stephen having cordially concurred in its suggestion, a vote of thanks was tendered fur thus agreeing to the request of the meeting. LOSSIEMOUTH, JAN. 28.—A correspondent writes us, of this date—" The object of the meeting on Tuesday not being generelly known, very little att e nti on was p a id to it ; and to-day, when a number of carts arrived with oats, they were surrounded by %omen and boys ; but instead of sending them out of the town, as was Of ease at some of the adjoining ports, the women quietly accompanied the carts to the corn-factor's granary, and after seeing the grain safely deposited there, they (the women) locked the door and kept possession of the key; and in place of insulting the men, Or injuring the horses, they offered the lads a hearty dram, and ex pressed a wish that all the oats in the country were sent to Lossiemouth." FORRES, TutTIISDAY.—The moinent the authorities cf Forres saw the military rass through the town on their way to Figin to allay the riots, they began to bestir themselves, and a meeting of councillors was immedi ately held in the council room. It was resolved that a subscription should be instantly raised to purchase a few hundred bolls of meal, to be disposed of at a low figure to all needy persons, and to the families of labourers, in order to prevent a meditated riot and attack on some of the most niggardly meal dealers and farmers. A subscription paper was immediately pre sented to the inhabitants, headed by the town of Forres for 20/. In course of a few hours the sum subscribed was nearly 1001. Except the inunificent collection made by the Free Church, nothing has yet been done in Forres for the destitute Highlanders. —Elgin Couricr. KEITH, JAN. 25.—About nine o'clock last night, our quiet town was thrown into a state of considerable ex citement by 11:0 arrival of a company of soldiers, num bering about 60, upon three stage coaches, on their way from Aberdeen to Port Gordon. It is reported that on Tuesday afternoon the meal riots at Buckle and Port Gordon had become so serious, that Sheriff Currie sent an express to Aberdeen for the assistance of the military to quell these riots, which explains the reason of their coming to this hitherto peaceful district. It is earnestly to be hoped they will have a bootless errand on this oc• casion, and that all will be quiet in the adjoining sea ports, so as to render the presence of the military unne cessary. The inhabitants of this district consider their absence to be good company. RIOT IN 6TRANItAEIL.—On Monday evening some idle, dissolute, and unthinking persons created a dis turbance in Stranraer, and attempted, successfully in soma cases, to coerce and iritimidate several of the ;lea! --- . - and provision dealers. At the shop of Mr. Espie they demand e d m ea l at t wo s hilli ngs an d sixpence pet stone, some and on being r e f use d u t tere d t h reats an d committed viole nce . At the shop of Mr. James Bell they suc ceeded, by th reats, i n gett i ng three bulls delivered thene. m, at thei r own price, two shillings and sixpence per StoAt the quay they stopped a cart of carrots, some of whieh they took away ; and they also stole several to from a person who was carry ing them from the steamer, and who had prccured the bread to be retailed at as low a rate as possible. The to promptly attended on being informed of these outrages, and the rioters were, with out much difficulty, dispersed. Next (lay, Tuesday, a meeting was held of the Town Council, when the magis trates, Mr. Caird, V.F., and councillors, expressed their sentiments most firmly upon the subject, warnin the of the folly of their proce e di ngs, and of the natural effect of them in closing the provision shops. And at this or subsequent meetings. a large force of special constables were sworn in and batons delivered to them ; and every preparation has been made to maintain p eace and order, and protect the lieges. It was distin c tly i nt i mated, that if any were destitute they should come fom ward and make it known, in an orderly would be relieved. Severa l me n , women, and boys, are the charge of rioting and theft.-- now in custody, on Galloway .4ducrtiscr. SHEEP STEALING E XT RAORDINARY.-011 Saturday last, three privates of the 7t3th Regiment, natives of England, stationed at Greenlaw Barracks, were apprehended by Con stable Merrylees, of the county police, and conveyed to Edin burgh, on a charge o f s t ea ling a sheep from a h field in the neighbourhood, a few nights previous. They were on guard at the time, and it appears that their object was to enjoy a feast of Scotch mutton ; for after skinning the sheep thr7 dressed part of it, and had recently been regaling them selves . on a choice bit w h en they were apprehended. They have since been examined, cummitted for trial.— Glasgow Herald. LAW INTELLIGENCE. BAIL COURT, Feb. THE QUEEN V. HEALEY AND COOKE. Lord DENMAN gave judgment in this case this morning. He said that the arguments in this case had taken place before himself and his brother Judges on Saturday last, and instead of minutely exam i n i ng the voluminous affidavits laid before them, they had come t o t h e conclusion that they might dispose of the case by adverting to what had appeared before them in the full and able discussion of the Learned Counsel engaged in the case. Mr. Wakley, it appeared, was one of the coroners for the county of Middlesex, and he had applied for leave to file a criminal information against the publishers of a libellous attack upon him while engaged in the execution of the duties of his office. The attack was coarse and violent, and being circulated in a particular journal while the inquiry was being conducted, naturally produced a strong sensation and general excitement. This was a serious offence, and the proceeding was one which induced the coroner, and justly so, to seek the protection of this Court. Amongst the judicial officers of England the oflice of coroner was one of the most important, and most required the protection of the higher Judges, to whom he was equal in many of his functions. His duty was to carry on inquiries at all times uncertain, and rendered painful by the presence of the dead, and more so by the suspi cion that might attach to the living. Ilis words were looked upon with jealousy and with distrust, and he was without the ordinary means of commanding respect—holding his tribunal in unaccustomed places, and surrounded by none of the imposing solemnities of justice. In this particular case the coroner was entitled to commen dation for directing an inquiry into the circumstances at ten ling the death. The Learned Counsel in the case, con fined himself to the expressions used in the libel, and no complaint was made or attempted to be proved against the witnesses; and his language, in referring to the evidence, went only to aflect the conduct of the coroner, whose pro ceedings were then under consideration. The inquisition was held on the body of Frederic John White, a private in the 7th llussars. Ile was a healthy young man, who had un dergone corporal punishment previous to his death. It was thought that he died of this, and suc h a supposition, if proved, could hardly fail to make out a case of misconduct on the part of the officer, or it might be a verdict of murder or manslaughter might result. In such a charge the medical men would, in all probability, have been involved, for some of them were always present on occasions when punishment was to be inflicted ; and as the deceased had been some time in the hospital, it was not impossible that he should have fallen a victim to unskilful treatment. A post-mortem exa mination was made, in which the surgeons employed gave it as their opinion that the punishment had nothing to do with the death. The coroner, Mr. Wakley, said that he did not know what opinion the surgeons had given, but he did not call for the support or observations of the surgeons of the regiment, but pro ceeded, at the suggestion of the jury, to employ Mr. Day, a respectable surgeon in the neighbourhood, to examine the body. This form was required to be executed by the 6th and 7th William IV., chap. 89—when a majority of the jury were not satisfied with the cause of death as given by the medical practitioners and others, in the first instance. Mr. Day thought the cause of death was not connected with the punishment, and the coroner proposed some questions, evi dently with a view of supporting the opposite theory. He then ordered an examination of the body. and called in the services of another medical man, an intimate friend of his own—his early associate, and one who was under some obligations to him, and who was named Wilson. The Court must condemn this course. The coroner had placed himself in the position of a medical man, and he was opposed in a certain degree to those engaged during the earlier part of the proceedings. lie ought to have been careful to select a medical gentleman of known skill and science for the pur pose of making the second examination. The coroner directed that not only the regimental surgeons should be ex cluded but also all other persons whatever, and no reason was assigned for such a proceeding. Mr. Wakley said that the jury recommended it, but the Court was of opinion that he ought to have resisted such a recommendation. Mr. Day persisted in his first opinion, and swore that he understood from Mr. Wilson that lie (Mr. Wilson) agreed with him as to the cause of death, and he also stated that he was surprised when Mr. Wilson afterwards said on the inquest that he believed that the flogging might have led to the death of White. The Learned Counsel explained this circumstance, and endeavoured to explain his views on it in a manner favourable to Mr. Wakley, but the evidence was 1 given in such a sense as to support the verdict, which ascribed the death to the punishment. There had been a remark made on the Coroner's refusal to put Dr. Warren upon his oath during the inquest, and it had been said that such a proceeding gave rise to an opinion that he might afterwards be called before it as a culprit. The verdict attri buted the death to the effect of the punishment inflicted, and added a condemnation of the law allowing such punish ment, and an invocation to the people to petition for its alteration. That appeared to the Court to be quite foreign to the duties and functions of the jury; the Coroner ought to have discouraged the introduction of such topics. It was incumbent upon him to suppress the expression of opinion ors such an occasion. The Court found also that Mr. Wakley took the chair at a public meeting to promote the abolition of flogging in the army and navy, and introduced into his speech there sonic very caustic remarks upon the late inquest, and in censuring the author of the libel to which he alluded, he stated that he complained that in the House of Commons he (Mr. Wakley) had spoken contemptuously of him. Al though the Court could not be supposed to be aware that such a proc ee di ng too k place in the course of the debate, yet it knew that these debates, however irregularly, found their way into the public papers, and into the world. If such a fact occurred as stated, the Court would discharge this rule on a principle often acted upon in that Court before in such cases, when the party accused had not entirely refuted the charge contained in the libel. An advertisement appeared in the Lancet, having reference to the presentation of a silver snuff-box to Mr. Wakley, and the libel averred that Mr. Wakley was influenced by his zeal in conducting the inquest, and that he was still further influenced by his wish to prove that the death was caused by the punishment. The Court , could not say that such a cha rg e was a lt oget h er unreasonable. 1 It gave Mr. Wakley great credit for the sincerity of his opi nion with regard to military flogging, and also for his justice, as the principle had been in a great degree adopted by the ; state since that time; but was that feeling to influence his mind in his duty as coroner, so as to lead to the exclusion of 1 the evidence upon an inquest ? The Court thought it was a case in which he was not in a position to ask it to give its sanction to a criminal information against the party who had commented upon his execution of his duty on that occasion and therefore the Court was of opinion that the rule ough to be discharged. upon the coroner's inquisition, on which be was charged as he principal in the manslaughter of Martha Hobbs, by im mersing her in cold water, and placing wet cloths upon her neck and body, and Hope Betts ' the aunt of the deceaseu, was charged as an accessory by being feloniously present aiding and assisting. Mr. Payne was instructed for the prosecution ; Mr. Clark son and Mr. Ballantine defended Dr. Lovell, and Mr. Bodkin with Mr. Diener, appeared for the female defendant. itsn. Witness immediately suspected fraud, and did not send the goods. The prisoner came again, and repeated the same request. Witness then jumped over the counter, and caught the prisoner as he was run ning out of the shop. The prisoner then took up a piece of wood, and struck him several severe blows. Witness, however, held the prisoner till a constable arrived, into whose custody he was consigned. The prisoner in defence said that a gentleman's servant asked him to order the articles mentioned to be sent, with change for a sovereign, to the residence of Mr. Parry. Ire knew nothing further about it. Mr. BINGIIAM remanded him till Monday next. SOUTH lir 1?K. Tuesday William Burfield, night porter at the Catherine Wheel lan, Borough, surrendered himself, in discharge of his bail, to answer the charge of stealing a pocket- book, con taining 300/. in Bank of England notes, the property of Mr. Francis Skipper, of Kingston-on-Thames, as detailed in our police report of Thursday last. The complainant having described the circumstances at tending the loss of his pocket-book, proceeded to narrate, that when he gave the prisoner into custody they proceeded from the inn to the station-house at the rear of this court; that on leaving the inn they turned to the right, up the Borough, and passed the end of Adam's- place, which is on the right-hand side of lligh-street (close to where the pocket-book and its contents were found the same morning). The parties who went to the station-house were the coin• plainant, his friend and relative Mr. West, and two police men, and the prisoner; Mr. Gunder, the landlord of the Catherine Wheel, did not accompany them. The prisoner, and a policeman by his side, walked before complainant and Mr. West on passing the end of Adam's-place. Mr. Humphries, at this stage of the investigation, com menced a lengthened cross-examin a ti ots of the complainant as to his condition in life, his place of residence, and to ac count for his time from the period he left the theatre on the night of Tuesday up to the time, a quarter before five o'clock the next morning, when he missed the 3001. from the inside of his left boot. These questions were answered by the com plainant, describing himself as of independent circumstances, that he resided at Colburn-villa, near Kingston; that he supported his relative, Mr. West, who accompanied him to various places of amusement in town, and on the night in question they had called at several public-houses, at which he had previously purchased "sweep tickets" for the Derby and other races. The complainant objected at first to give answers to some of the questions put to him by Mr. Humphries, particularly those relating to his places of abode before he went to live at Kingston ; but the latter gentleman urged the necessity o his adopting the same line of cross-examination he had taken when so serious a charge was made against the accused, as it was necessary to ascertain whether the complainant and his friend, Mr. West, were persons of credibility, and whose tes timony could be relied upon. Mr. Cormoinnas remarked that he could not clearly see the necessity for putting such questions • that an alleged robbery had been recently comm i tte d at an inn in the Borough; that the money was afterwards found not far dis tant from the inn, and must have been dropped by some one or other of the persons on the way to the station-house; that he thought it quite an absurd notion to suppose the complainant had dropped the pocket-book; and that it ap peared his friend Mr. West was at another part of the room when the prisoner pulled off the boot belonging to com plainant, which contained the money, and from which it was taken. However, if Mr. Humphries thought it essential to the defence, he was at liberty to continue the cross examination. In answer to further questions by Mr. Humphries, the complainant gave a very minute account of his time from quitting the theatre on the night in question until his ar rival in a cab at the Catherine Wheel,from which it appeared he and his friend had called at the different houses alluded to, but, although they had partaken of refreshment at some of them. still they were both perfectly sober when they got up into the room of the inn where the robbery was alleged to have been committed. In reply to Mr. Comm:max, the complainant said he distinctly felt the pocket-book inside his boot when he un buttoned his trousers' straps to let the prisoner pull the boots off. When the prisoner pulled the left boot off lie im mediately left the room, saying, he wanted to lock the yard gates, leaving the other boot on complainant's leg. Ile had hurried out of the room before complainant missed the pocket-book, and he called out to the prisoner to returr, and mentioned to him when he came back that the pocket book and 300/. were gone; that the prisoner declared lie knew nothing about it, and threw open his coat and waistcoat, saying he was willing to be searched ; and when he (complainant) approached him said that he would not allow him or his friend to overhaul him in case they should place anything in his pockets, and he said that he should call his master up for his protection. Tha com plainant further said that the prisoner did not undergo any search while at the Catherine Wheel, that not being carried into effect until afterwards, when they got to the station house ; that previously to leaving the Catherine Wheel, and when the circumstances attending the loss of the 300/. were mentioned to the landlord, he exclaimed that he was satisfied of the honesty of his servant, and also evinced an objection to have the police called in, on the plea that his other lodgers ought not to be disturbed. Mr. Humphries—Was not the prisoner searched in your presence at the Catherine Wheel before you went to the station-house ? Complainant—l did not observe he was searched by either the landlord or the policeman while in that house. All I saw was the prisoner merely opening his iacket and waistcoat, and pull his pockets inside out. Mr. West, the young man referred to, was next examined, and he confirmed the complainant's account of the transac tion in all its essential points. The witness also underwent a lengthened cross-examination, in the course of which he said that he was 19 years of age; had been formerly a wine - merchant's and a linendraper's clerk at Brighton, but that within the last three months he had been supported by his cousin, the complainant The witness also proved that the prisoner did not undergo a search before they arrived at the station-house. Cox, foreman at the Phoenix Gas Works, Bankside, stated that in walking from his house in Fox's-buildings, Kent street, at about a quarter to six o'clock on the morning in question, he picked up a pocket-book, containing a 100/.and four 50/. Bank of England notes, in High-street, near Adam's-court; that the pocket-book was lying on the centre of the pavement; he took it to the gas company, and gave it to Mr. Munro, the manager, in whose possession it still remained. (The pocket-book and its contents were here produced by Mr. Munro, and identified by Cox as the same he found, and they were also identified by the owner as his property.) Inspector Yates proved that the complainant and Mr. West were perfectly sober; that the prisoner wag searched mpei t rg h thy er t e hbw , ise b a ut nothing was found in his possession. Policeman 101 M, who took the prisoner from the Cathe rine Wheel to the station-house, stated, that on going there he walked on the prisoner's left side, and that his right band was at liberty; that on the way the prisoner talked of being thirsty, and expressed a wish to go into a coffee-shop to have some coffee. Prisoner's right hand was next to Adams place.theconfidenceexpressed He added that he was present at the Catherine prisoner's honesty, and said that he was certain that he had not taken the pocket-book and its contents.

Two other policemen, who were also called in to the Ca therine Wheel, were next examined, and their evidence merely went to show that the prisoner had not been searched until taken to the station-house. After a question had been asked by Mr. COTTINGIIAM as to whether the pocket-book contained any gold or silver, or other hard substance in it, so that by dropping it on the pavement a noise would be produced, and the answer by the complainant being in an th k e n n n e t g e a s ti a v n e , d h a e ni ta a vi m ng ern s o t r a a te n d da th_at th i e t only contained the b effect p that he was entirely innocent of the alleged charge. prisoner, then, in his defence . made a long statement memoranda,—the the He denied that he had taken the boot said to have con tainedte lock the yard -gates as much pro in leaving the room was in case any exposed ; that he offered to be searched, and the pocket-book out of the bedroom ; that his motive called his absence; and that he was searched n er up for his protection advantage in master's house b • apoliceman. minutely who had entered the Catherine Wheel The three policemen were here called forward by the magistrate and questioned b stna e lk f a o es re leaving his it did not take place until his arrival at the sta as to the truth of the prisoner's assertion, and they a ll d en i e d it, saying Tis case arose out of the hydropathic system of cure, and it appeared to excite a good deal of interest. The grand jury ignored the bill that was presented to them, but it was necessary to dispose of the coroner's inquisition. Mr. Justice CnEsswEnt. (addressing Mr. Payne) said he had looked over the depositions, and he should be glad to know whether there was any further evidence as to the cause of death than that which was given before the coroner's jury, and upon which the grand jury had ignored the bill. Mr. PAYNE said he believed not, but he did not feel himself justified in withdrawing the case from the consideration of the jury. Mr. Justice CRESSWELL said he might proceed, but he suggested that it would be advisable to call the medical gentleman to speak as to the cause of death, in the first instance. Mr. PAYNE. then addressed the jury, and briefly described the nature of the charge against the defendants. He said there was no intention to impute any want of kindness or pro per attention to Dr. Lovell, but it was suggested that, being an ardent admirer of the hydropathic system, he had rashly applied it to the deceased, and so caused her death, and he apprehended that if he should make out this fact to the satis faction of the jury, it would amount to the crime of man slaughter. Mr. Jacob Asbury, the surgeon who made a post mortem examination of the deceased, was examined. He said he ob served the appearance of the cutaneous disease called scales tetanus, or leprosy. There was inflammation of the pia mater, and the vessels of the brain were very much congested, and those appearances accounted for the death of the deceased. Ile considered the application of wet cloths and cold to the surface of the body would be calculated to produce the ap pearances that he observed, but he would not undertake to say that they might not bd produced by other and natural causes. By Mr. Justice CAESSWELL—There was a natural tendency in the human system to transfer disease from the skin to the internal parts of the body, and that might have been the case in the present instance, entirely independent of the applica tion of the wet cloths. Mr. PAYNE said he would not carry the evidence any further. Mr. Justice CRESSWELL, addressing the jury, said it was the law that no person could be found guilty of a crime un less he was proved to have committed it. In this case a scientific man, who was the only witness that could be called, told them he could not prove it, and therefore it was their duty to acquit the F.Ccused parties. The jury accordingly returned a verdict of Not Guilty, and the Court ordered the defendants to be at once dis charged. iles Phillips, 59, waterman, was charged with the man slaughter of Sarah Phillips. Mr. Bodkin prosecuted. It appeared that the parties were man and wife, and, ac cording to the testimony of witnesses residing in the same house with them, the prisoner was in the constant habit of ill-using the unfortunate deceased. On the day named in the indictment the prisoner was heard to threaten his wife with violence, and she shortly afterwards complained that he had kicked her. She went to the house of a neighbour, where she was taken very ill, and died soon afterwards ; and upon a post mortem examination it was found she had re ceived a severe injury upon the stomach, apparently the effect of a blow or kick, and which was no doubt the cause of her death. The prisoner was convicted, but the jury recommended him to mercy on account of his age. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE sentenced him to be kept to hard labour for nine calendar months. COURT 01% COMMON PLEAS, Feb. 3. The Court was engaged all the day in trying common jury cases of no public interest whatever. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice CRESWELL and Mr. Justice WicafTmax.) Francislieres, who had been remanded from the last session, was placed at the bar on a charge of stealing two brooches and two rings, of the value of 4001., from Mr. John Linnet, a jeweller. Mr. Clarkson was retained for the prosecution, and Mr. Ballantvne defended the prisoner. Mr. Linnet stated that on the 7th of January, 1845, the prisoner called upon him, and stated that he was engaged at Buckingham Palace as a worker in hair at two guineas a day, and had therefore the opportunity of introducing goods to the notice of her Majesty and Prince Albert. He at that time said that he came for a cane for the Prince, and also a stick which his Royal Highness desired to present to the Emperor of Russia. He took them both away, and two or three days afterwards returned the stick, but paid for the cane the sum of 311. 10s. At that time the prisoner said that he was desired to obtain two brooches and two diamond rings of the value of 4001., which he took away with him. The stick was paid fur on the day the jewellery was taken away. Oa cross-examination, Mr. Linnet said, that since the transaction he had become a bankrupt, and that he had not any books to show when it took place. He could not say exactly on what day the stick was paid for. He believqi that it was the same day, but it might be two or three days before the jewellery was obtained. He had certainly received a ietter from the prisoner, stating that from necessity he had been compelled to pawn the brooches and the rings, but that he hoped some day to pay for them. The prisoner first be came known to him by employing him to set some articles made of hair in gold. When he took the rings away he brought back the stick, and said that as the Prince then de sired to present the stick to the Emperor of Russia, it was to have a long gold ferule put to it. Ile had not been able to obtain the money for the brooches, as Sir Henry Wheatley, who kept th e P r i vy Purse, gave all the cheques, and had gone wh en h e went to the Palace. Witness saw nor heard nothing more of the prisoner until some time after wards, when he sent him a letter expressing his sorrow for having been compelled to pledge the jewellery, but necessity had driven him to it. lie had applied to Mr. Attenborough for the recovery of the property. He believed that the pri soner had shortlyafterwards gone abroad, and had only lately returned. The price of one brooch was 1401., and of the other, 1951. The rings were diamond rings. John Reardon, assistant to Mr. Lawton, said that the pri soner came to their - shop and offered to pledge the two brooches. Ile asked for 2001. upon them, which witness re fused to give, but would have allowed 1501. if both were left. The prisoner ultimately took 701., upon one of them, and a few days after returned and pledged the other. Mr. Lawton, a pawnbroker in Oxford-street, stated that the prisoner had pledged two brooches and two rings with him. tion-house. The MAGISTRATE could not help animadverting on the neglect of the policeman in omitting so important a circum stance as the minute examination of the person of a man charged with committing such a robbery, on the very spot where it was stated it had occurred. The prisoner, in continuation, spoke of an altercation complainant and his friend had with a cabman about the fare in the inn-yard before they got up stairs, and concluded by a solemn declaration of his innocence, declaring that he had never seen the complainant's pocket-book nor its con tents until he saw them that day in court. Mr. Humphries considered that the accused had given a complete answer to the charge ; that he could not have been the person who dropped the pocket-book, as he walked in front of the complainant, his friend Mr. West, and the policeman, on the way to the station-house. Mr. COTTINGRAM recapitulated all the circumstances at tending the case, and, in the course of his lengthened ob servations, remarked that, although it appeared that the complainant and his friend had not given a very satisfactory account of their present way of life, still that he could not believe they had concocted the statements they made in order to bring such a charge against the accused. That, under all the circumstances be should send the case before another tribunal for investigation, and, in committing the prisoner for trial, should acccept of bail himself in 2001., and two sureties of 1001. each, to appear at the next sessions. t T a h k e e u l!.1 agi but h s t r t at e e added, prisoner t h that mightt e b e brought depositionsup again Monday. Mr. Attenborough, another pawnbroker, said that he had been engaged to negotiate for the return of the property to the assignees of Mr. Linnet, and gave them the information of the place where the property was deposited. The Hon. Miss Ker, Maid of honour to the Queen, stated that the prisoner at the bar had certainly been at the palace, but had never had an interview with her Majesty, although he had manufactured some articles in hair for her. She thought thst it was very unlikely that any one would have seen her Majesty whilst witness attended upon the Queen without her being acquainted with the fact. The llon. Colonel Anson said that at the time this offence was committed Sir 11. Wheatley was holder of the Privy Purse to her Majesty, and that he himself was Private Secre tary to Prince Albert. Witness succeeded to the office of holder of the Privy Purse on the Ist of January in the pre sent year. He was quite satisfied that the Prince had never desired that any stick should be bought for the purpose of being presented to the Emperor of Russia, nor did he believe that any cane had been purchased for his Royal Highness. The Mince never drew cheques, but all the accounts were settled by witness. The prisoner had certainly on one occa ' sion been paid 121. fur a dog's head worked in hair, but that he had never been engaged continually at the palace. Mr. BALLANTYNE addressed the jury at considerable length on behalf of the prisoner, insisting 'chiefly that there was no reliance to be placed on the testimony of Mr. Linnett, as he had produced no books, and that his recollection did not precisely serve him as to the date when the stick was paid fur. Then, as to the circumstance of the pawning, it was shown that the jewellery was pledged some days after it was taken away, and this proved that there was no fraudulent intention whatever on the part of the prisoner when he obtained the articles. This was also evident from the fact that they were recovered through the voluntary communications of the prisoner. If he had had any fraudulent intention he would never have either forwarded the duplicates, or returned to this country. It was evident that he had been induced to pledge the pro perty by distress; and, even if he had pawned it for the pur riosaeiof raising money to go abroad, he was clearly entitled regular Nay the je„opieleteci'itir"aiof the legal offence, unless he obtained the purpose . of pledging, instead of using it Severwalasyvietnfestuselsve'esie called to character.

DESERTION OF A SOLDIER WHILST ON GUARD.— George Cooper, aged 19 years, was brought before the county magistrates at Rochester, on Monday, charged with deserting from the 18th Regiment, which he joined seven months ago. The prisoner, it appeared, was placed on guard at the Gun Wharf, Chatham, on Saturday night, when shortly before midnight he effected his escape by scaling the garden-fence, taking with I i u his fr3lock, bayonet, and ammunition, but leaving his side belt in the sentry-box. Having thus made his escape, be proceeded towards Canterbury, and on arriving at Rainham, about four miles distant from Canterbury Bar racks, he was stopped by one of the rural police, named Fury, in whose custody he was brought •up. The musket the prisoner took with hint was loaded, and the bayonet was afterwards found in tlip military burial-ground. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 4, 1847.

Gewye Saker was convicted of stealing a bird-cage, value Bs., from the door of Lewis J. C. Jainrack, bird dealer, of George-street, and, as he had been convicted several times before, he was sentenced to seven years' transportation. John Davis and John Long were both indicted for stealing a pump, value 205., from where it was fixed, at the house of Joseph Harris, North Brixton. Davis was seen with the pump on his shoulder on the night of the 15th January, and Long was in company with him, when the policeman took them both into custody. There was no more evidence against Long than being in the company of Davis, and he was therefore acquitted. Davis, who had been summarily convicted on three former occasions, was sentenced to nine months' imprisonment and hard labour. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. ROBBERY OF DIA3IONDS.—A man named Robert Kerr, captain of the barque Levenside, was brought before Alderman Johnson, in the custody of John Forrester, the Mansion-house officer, charged with having stolen two parcels of diamonds, of the value of 3,3001, which were intrusted to him to convey to the port of London from Baca. The prisoner had left bis vessel and come ashore in a boat with the diamonds, and as soon as the persons to whom they were consigned learned that the captain had disappeared with them, a warrant was put into the hands of John and Daniel Forrester, who after having traced him fro m pl ace to p l ace with extraordinary skill and activity, at last pounced upon him in France, and hurried him away to London with great expedition, having found upon him about 3001., some of which was in Bank of England notes, which had been paid in the Commercial Bank for a cheque drawn for the amount of a portion of the diamonds. Mr. Peachey, from the house of Messrs. Olivarson, Lavie, and Co., of the Old Jewry, appeared for the pro. secution, but did not enter into the details, John For rester having only just arrived with the prisoner, and no opportunity having presented itself as yet for col lecting the in..terials on which the warrant was founded. lie stated that the prisoner had arrived near Folkstone in the barque of which he was the commander, on the the 20th of January, and that he got into a boat and landed, with the diamonds, at Folkstone, from which place he started for London, where he arrived on the next day ; that he went to a public-house, in an obscure part of the metropolis, near the London Docks, and was introduced by the publican to a Jew, who introduced him to another Jew, and that they repaired to the offices of an extensive diamond merchant, or agent who purchased some of the jewels for 1,7504, for which amount he handed over a cheque to one of the customers upon the Commercial Bank. The sale was negotiated by the publican and one of the Jews, who was a slop seller, and they received 2001. in gold, and 1,5501. in bank-notes, at the Commercial Bank, and, according to their statement, they gave the money to the prisoner, who decamped to France, followed by John Forrester, who apprehended him there, and contrived to bring him over to LontLn without delay, or allowing him time to deliberate upon the consequences. Mr. John M`Millan, part owner of the barque Leven side, of Greenock, stated that Robert Kerr, the pri soner, was the master of that vessel. From information which the witness had received, he had reason to believe that the prisoner had received certain diamonds to convey to this country. The prisoner's receipts for two packages of diamonds were upon the bills of lading, and it was the duty of the captain to bring them to the port of London. The value, as appeared from the bills of lading, was 3,300/. The vessel had been reported in the port of London, and witness had seen the manifest, in which the diamonds had not been referred to. One of the parcels was consigned to Messrs. Costello and Co., and the other to Messrs. Schroider and Co. Mr. F. Costello, of the firm of Costello and Co., of No. 10, Bury-court, St. Mary-Axe, stated that the firm had received the bill of lading, but not the diamonds. The prisoner, on being asked whether he wished to say anything, replied, " I wish to have a solicitor ; I have no objection to be remanded." He was accordingly remanded until Tuesday next. The prisoner, it was stated in the justice room, was plundered of almost all the money he possessed himself of by the robbery before he quitted town with the ex ception of that which John Forrester took froln him, and forty guineas, the price which he gave for a gold watch on selling the diamonds. ATTEMPTS TO SWINDLE COUNTRY GENTLEMEN AND CLERGY3IEN.—A young man named Francis Bennet was charged with ha v i ng attempted to defraud the Rev. Mr. Greyham, of Great Bromley, near Colchester, of 11, in the manner detailed in the following statement. A merchant of the city of London said he received from the Rev. Mr. Greyham the following letter, which was marked paid, but posted unpaid, with a request to make inquiries about it:— " London, 27th January, 1847. "Rev. Sir,—We have to inform you that we have a case of wine from France laying at our wharf. It is addressed to you, to be left till called for. You will oblige by forwarding 205., per Post-office order, for freight and wharfage, when we will forward it per Eastern Counties Railway. We do not like to keep goods long, in case of fire. An early reply will oblige. " We are, Sir, yours, &c. "For JAMES and HENRY, " WILLIAM GEORGE. "22, St. Martins le-Grand. " George James, " John Henry. " The Rev. Mr. Greyham, Great Bromley, near Colchester." Suspecting that a trick was intended the witness wen with the son of the clergyman to No. 22, St. Martin's-le- Grand, which they found to be a coffee-shop, the owner of which knew nothing at all of the party by whom the note professed to be addressed, and most readily volun teered to bring the schemer to justice. Between twelve and one yesterday morning, the time at which the writer of tke letter intimated that he should arrive at the house to receive the money, the witness, a policeman, and a boy who had, for the occasion, a pound of marked money in his pocket, went to the office, and sat apart from each other. Presently the prisoner en tered, and stated, in answer to questions from the boy, that he was the person who wrote the letter, and that he had the case of wine, which he believed to be cham pagne. The money was then given to him, and he pocketed it, and, upon giving his receipt for the amount, signed George Williams, was taken into custody. There was no such wharf in London as James and Henry's Wharf, which the prisoner said, in his conversation with the boy, was at Wapping. The prisoger stated subse quently that he committed the offence because he was much distressed. The prisoner —I have nothing to say but that I con fess I have dune what I am charged with, and you may as well commit me for trial. Alderman JOHNSON intimated to the prisoner that he should be committed for trial as soon as the depositions were made out. Another clergyman in the neighbourhood has, it was stated, received a similar letter, and it is apprehended that the manoeuvre has been very successful. MARLBOROUGH-ST.REET. John JP Clime was brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with committing an assault upon Mr. Campbell Bowman, oil and colourman, 3, Tottenham-court -road. The complainant stated that about nine o'clock on Tuesday nigh ttoh eek P. t r sthesr Boner, net i s e o aN n mv e he r i again gt m a he intolayna wand his said par shop, iedp, and desired him to send a variety o f art i cles to the residence of Mr. Parry, 17, Tavis things, and mind and be s ure to seiLnn d g o kc t h o anssheagnredp fora h t things , .h.

The leading grain markets, in the United Kingdom, have been but to a trifling extent affected by the develop merit of the Government in, asures. Had they been brought into operation three months since, before our C,mitinental nelgiibours became so much alarmed about the state of their own supply of food, we would, un doubtedly, have received a very considerable accession to our supply ; but, now th at t h ey are b eg inning to experience the evil consequences of high prices them selves, it becomes a question, whether they will net as Great Britain becomes more anxious to im port, increase their export duties, if not prohibit the exportation of bread-stuffs altogether, as , should they run themselves too bare in their supply of food, the consequences: would affect them even more seriously than ourselves. Barley is the 00 1 Y article which has been seriously influenced by the mea sures ; but the demand for all sorts of meal still con tinues so extensive, that its value may probably a dvance, again, the stock of that ar ti c l e b e i ng everyw here ir mittd. We regret to find that, notwithstanding every exertion of the millers, throughout the west and sout h of Ireland, they are unable to manufacture enough to meet the demand, although, in very many instances. theY, keep their mills at wo r k on S un d ays . Th e crop of oats is much more deficient than was at first sup' posed. From our information we fear that it cannot be considered more than half a crop. Upto the present moment, the tillage of the land is remarkably back ward, in many parts of the country, the greater numbe r of the labourers bein g employed on the improvement of the public roads, whereby i n t ercourse is seriously in' . peded, and much treasure wasted, without any adequa te benefit being likely to accrue. If exertions be not merle immediately for preparing and sowing the land, the PO . bability is that we shall have another year of suffering and want, even more lamentable than the pr e sent one; 'ln Limerick, Cork, and se vera l o th er towns, w heat an; oats have receded in price, in consequence of increase d , country supplies during the l as t f ew d ays , induce(' perhaps, by fears, arising from the Government sures ; but, as the stock in farmers' hands is by no means so heavy as is generally su pp ose d, i t i s to b e f eare d thst this increase of supply is only temporary.--Northe rn Whig. MARKET NEWS.-(YESTERDAN) C ORN—EXC HANG E. Since Saturday evening the arrivals of English Wb e3t ' especially from Kent, have been somewhat extensive, viz.; 4,440 quart e rs, mostly in f a i r con di t i on. Th e stan ds ifer heavily filled with samples ; at least four-fifths were those which remained unsold at the close of Monday. This ell' cumstance, together with the thin attendance of buYe r i t caused the demand for all descriptions to rule excessive i 9 and, to effect sales, a farther decline of quite 1 8 .
