Wednesday a special general meeting of the proprietors of East India stock was held at the India House, pur suant to a public notice given as follows:—"The Court of Directors of the East India Company do hereby give notice, that a special general court of the Company will be held at their house, in Leadenball-street, on Wed nesday, the 21st instant, at eleven in the forenoon, for the purpose of submitting to the proprietors of East India stock for confirmation a resolution passed unani mously by the general court this day, approving the unanimous resolution of the Court of Directors of the 30th of June, 1847, granting to Major• General Sir G. Pollock, G.C.8., an annuity . of I,ooot. upon the grounds therein stated." The chair was taken by Mr. H. St. George Tucker at the usual hour, and the minutes of the last court were read. The CHAIRNAN stated that various papers had been presented to Parliament since the last court was held, the titles of which would be read. The Clerk read the heads of the papers referred to. THE GRANT OF 1,0001. PER ANN CH TO SIR GEORGE POLLOCK, G.C.B. The CHAIRMAN stated that the court was made special for the purpose of confirming a vote passed unanimously at a former meeting., granting an annuity of 1,0001. per annum to Major-General Sir George Pollock. upon the grounds stated in the resolution of the Court of Directors. Sir PETER LAURIE claimed a hearing, to make a state ment in favour of an ENDOWMENT 07 A POLLOCK PRIZE AT ADDISCOMBE. He expressed his regret t iat he was unavoidably pre vented attending the last court, when the proposed grant was submitted to the proprietors; not that the proposal required support, but to have seized the opportunity of joining, as one of the oldest friends of Sir George Pol lock, in doing honour to his gallant friend; he would not waste the time of the court in adverting to those services, which wero so well expressed in the vote before them. Sir George Pollock's career now belonged to history, and he (Sir Peter Laurie) trusted that it might please Providence to restore the health of his gallant friend long to wear the laurels he had s) bravely won, and long to enjoy this mark of the gratitude and respect of the munificent service of the East India ' ) the merchant an he merchant sovereigns of India. He to o k that public' i op portunity of thanking the Court of Directors f o r acceding to the wish of the committee in India, appointed with reference to the Pollock Prize, in accepting the office of trustees of that fund, and including it amongst the prizes presented at Addiscomb?. The fund, amounting to 11,000 rupees, was the result of subscriptions limited to sums under 50 rupees, and lie hoped the court would be rewarded by this prize assisting them in their exertions to train up many a youth who, leaving England as Sir George Pollock did, to work their way to fame with only a clear head and a brave heart, may return to re ceive the thanks of his country and the affectionate admiration of his friends. T he question having been put as to the grant to Sir G. ponc,ek, it was confirmed unanimously, and with much cheering. Mr. LEWIS T: Ex-RAJA OF SATTARA. said that it h av i ng b een p os itively stated in Parliament that the R a j a h a d h a d a f air tr i a l, a nd as it had been re-stated by one of th e l ea di ng journals of conceived th at t h at statement was a gross misrepresentation,nd could e as ily b e s h o wn to be so, he had b een induced to give the present notice of motion, in order that the truth of the statement might be tested. The notice is as follows: " That the Raja of Sattarahaaving been dep r i ve d o f his throne, plundered of hi s prrrhteya'rdarlil driven i n t o his defence banishment, without havi ng been against the charges imp u t e d t o hi m, this opinion that such a procedure .is rep ugnant to the Court pri is of n ciples of justice, whether moral,. social, or political; l•and that the honour, credit. and true interests of the British Government, no less than the regard due to the rigts of the natives of India, require that it should be re _ versed."

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, July 21. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. GIBBS. This was an appeal from the Vice-Chancellor K. Bruce. The information was filed at the instance of William Frederick Rock and others, inhabitants of the parish of St. Stephen's, Walbrook, in the city of London, to com pel the defendant, Mr. Alderman Gibbs, to account for the moneys paid to him, or that had come into his hands since the year 1823, as perpetual churchwarden of that parish. The information also prayed the appointment of a receiver, and that Gibbs be removed from his office of trustee of the parish property. When the informa tion came before the Master of the Rolls, his Lordship directed a reference to the Master, to inquire what sums of money had been received by Alderman Gibbs from 1823 to 1843. and to allow as against the sums so received all payments and disbursements en account of the parish. In June, 1846, the Master made his re port, by which it appeared that Alderman Gibbs had paid in that period 17,1361., and that he had received 12,778/. in rents and profits from the parochial estates. A sum of money had also been received on account of rates, but on the whole balance of the account 592/. appeared to be due to Gibbs. A larger sum had been claimed by Gibbs, but the Master disallowed 6101. which had been paid in costs. After this result of the account-taking, the relators abandoned any further proceedings; but on the matter coming before the Vice-Chancellor on iurther directions, his Honour ordered the costs of all the members of the select vestry who had been made co-defendants, with the exception of those of John Pelly Atkins, the alderman's co-churchwarden. _ _ _ Mr. LLOYD and Mr. HUMPHREYS, for the defendant, now argued that there was no just ground for such a de cision with respect to the costs. The information had failed in all it sought to establish; the relators had aban doned all claim to relief. They even refused to ask that the defendant might be removed, and it seemed very hard under such circumstances to compel him to pay all the costs of so much fruitless litigation. Mr. BATES, on the other side, hoped his Lordship would allow the appeal to stand over for a short time, as his leader Mr. SRanston was engaged elsewhere. The LORD CHANCELLOR said peremptorily, that it was time it should be distinctly understood that no case could stand over in that court in consequence of the ab sence of counsel. Mr. BATES then contended that the whole of the pro ceedings had been caused by the neglect of the de fendant in rendering his account, and that the relators had done a service to the parish, by the course they bad adopted. The defendant in his answer denied that he was bound to account to any one, except the members of the select vestry. His LORDSHIP saw no reason to be dissatisfied with the decision of the Vice-Chancellor. The defendant had by his refusal to account or give any explanation respecting the moneys in his hand, given rise to the whole of the litigation. It was true that instead of being a debtor of the parish he turned out to be a credi tor, but that fact could not be ascertained until the account was taken, and any taking of such account the defendant had pertinaciously resisted. It was no answer, therefore, to the order fur the payment of costs that the relators had not succeeded in establishing their charges against the defendant, for if he had done his duty, by accounting when called on to do so, these charges in all probability would not have been made. His Lordship therefore affirmed the order of the Court below, and dis , missed the appeal with costs. SHERIFFS' COURT, July 22. (Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BuncHELL.) M`DOWALL v. PALMER. This was an action brought to recover the sum of 11/. 16s. on a bill of exchange. The defendant pleaded that he did not accept the bill. The plaintiffs are warehousemen in the City, and de fendant a farmer at Lakenheath, Norfolk. To prove the plaintiff's case Mr. Fisher, a wine and spirit mer chant at Lynn, was called, and proved that he drew the bill on the defendant, and the latter had, both before and after the action was brought, admitted that he had accepted the bill, but sail that he had put in a plea by the advice of his attorney to get time, and the only reason he had not paid was, that he had been very uu fortunate with his crops for two or three years. Mr. J. Jackson, of Lynn, also deposed, that to the best of his belief the signature was that of the defendant. Mr. PRENTIS said he could not make any defence against such evidence as this, and he had been misled by his brief, by which he was led to suppose that the bill was accepted John Palmer, and defendant's name was John William Palmer, but that being an error, he must let the case go to do jury-. The jury found for the amount claimed. MASSON It. DODSON. The plaintiff in thi, action is the landlord of the Fea thers public-house in Great Wild-street ; the defendant is a bookseller in Fleet-street. The claim was for 51. for money lent. The defendant pleaded that he was not indebted. The plaintiff's attorney stated the case. In February and March last year the defendant frequented the plain tiff's house ; and being a sporting character, was known by the fancy name of " Walker." He would be able to prove the loans of IL 10s. and 2L ; with respect to the other sum there might be some difficulty, as although witnesses could prove that other money was lent, they could not speak to the precise amount. Two witnesses named Ryan and Burke were called, and proved the loan of 21. and 11. 10s., and that defend ant said Chatrey (a fighting man) was to have anything he wanted, as there was no difference between them, and he would repay plaintiff. The UNDER-SHERIFF What is a fighting man ? That is no profession, unless he is a soldier—that is the only fighting man the law recognizes. The witness — He is a pugilist, a friend of defendant. 11. was lent after a concert. By Mr. THOMAS—Some people called it a cock•and hen club. It was frequented by sporting men and al sorts. On the part of the defendant Chaffey was called, and swore that the money was lent to him, and that plaintiff asked him for it, and witness said he would pay as soon as he could. Cross-examined—Sometimes wore defendant's livery for a spree, and sometimes defendant wore his, but they were never both in livery at the same time.—(Laughter.) The UNDER-SHERIFF said that although the money was given into the hands of Chaffey, if it was on defend ant's request he was liable, as for money lent to him, but if the money was lent to Chaffey, and defendant after wards guaranteed to pay it, there must be a contract proved. The jury immediately found for the full amount. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—York, July 20. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN, THE MEIFIELD MURDERS. _ Yesterday morning the prisoner charged with these offences, Patrick Reid, was put upon his trial on one of the indictments—that for murdering Mr. James Wraith. Great numbers of persons assembled about the court long before the Learned J u d ge too k hi s sea t, at n i ne o'clock, and the outside of the building, from the crowds who had come to attend this trial, was a scene of bustle throughout the whole of both yesterday and to-day. The prisoner is stated in the calendar to be only 20 years of age, but he appears older. There is nothing in his appearance to create a prejudice, bat rather the con trary. lie is of stout build, and to all appearance a person of considerable bodily strength, with a counte nance more composed than with the generality of men placed in such jeopardy. Both he and M`Cabe, the wit ness, are said to have come originally from Ireland. One indictment charges Reid with the murder of Mr. James Wraith, at Mirfield, on the 12th of last May. A second indictment with the murder of Ann, the wife of James Wraith, at the same time and place. The third with the murder of Caroline Ellis, also at the same time and place. The Learned Judge having taken his seat yesterday morning, Reid was called on to plead to the first of these indictments, and pleaded Not Guilty. Mr. Bliss, Mr. Overend, and Mr. Ingham appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Sergeant Wilkins and Mr. Seymour for the defence. Mr. Blass stated the case to the jury. The Learned Counsel said that the charge now against the prisoner o k f ille h d avi a n u g d w m il u f r u d ll e y r , ed and th o s e wasthou that t , his aitse . malice Jameset' or e - Wraith. Mr. Wraith was an old 1 man of about - 8 years of age, living, on the 12th of May last , at house Wateroyd-hall, nea r t o Mi r fi e ld , in this a eountyH called He was possessed of some littl e p roperty, and had formerly been l' a gentleman's steward. The family, at the time of the murder, consisted of but thr ee p ersons, M r. Wraith, his wife, Ann Wraith, an old lady of 68, and a young woman, their household servant, whose name was Caro line Ellis. Mr. Wraith had two step sons living, one at Manchester and the other at Mirfield, and he also had some great nephews living in his own neighbourhood. It had been the custom in the family to dine between twelve and one o'clock; and from the evidence it would appear most probable that the attack made upon Mr. and Mrs. Wraith and the servant must have been during the time of the two former being at dinner in the parlour of their house: There was a garden in front of the house, and a yard at the back, and in that yard a well, in which well, as the jury would have proved to them, were discovered one of the instruments supposed to have been used by those committing the murder, and a key, which would be proved to lee that of the kitchen door of the house. There were three apartments on the ground floor of the house, two rooms looking to the front and a kitchen to the back, besides a passage situate between those two front rooms, and leading to a front door. rat the other end of that passage, there was another ' l , which l e d i nto t h e ki tc h en, an d f r om the kitchen there was but one other door, and that led into the back yard. and that door was near one corner of the kitchen, and near to the door leading to the yarJ. From the passage, some stairs went to the upper floor, and near the top of the stairca se ther e was a w i n d ow comman di ng I view of th e outer do or of the kitchen, so that any one who came to that door out of the window might be se en b y a person look ing above.

Before that, on Monday, th e 10th, the e and le old gentleman hail been to Wakefield market, and had I then received some money, and he was on that day seen to wear his best hat, which was missi ng on the 12th, and had not since been found. Ins step-so n had then seen him wearing that hat. On the 11th he was seen to have some money in his pos . session, and on the - I`)th in the mornin g , hi s step son also saw him in possession of a sove reign, which he, deceased , happened to let fall as h e as counting some money. No money, however, had w been found after the perpetration of the murders, except ing one half-sovereign, and that was left in the pocket THE SUN,: LONDON, FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 23, 1817. of the murdered man. On the morning of the 12th, it would appear that Mr. Wraith had gone to speak with one of hie nephews, Joshua Green, a young lad, who lived a short distance off with his mother. Ho went for the purpose of telling the lad to come to his (Wraith's) house, to help to pick some stones. The boy came, but later than he had intended, on account of a heavy shower of rain, On arriving at th• house, which he did soon after the usual dinner time, he knocked, but received no answer, and found all fast, and finally, from the appear ances of the place, which he would describe, he went away and gave the alarm to his mother, which imme diately led to the discovery that the whole family had been murdered only a very short time before. The ser vant was found lying on her back near to the door of the kitchen which opened into the yard, and her body was still warm. Mrs. Wraith's body was lying in the same position in the passage, and near to the front door. Mr. Wraith's also in the same position in the parlour, where the dinner things remained on the table. The injuries sustained by all three of the unfortunate people were of such a kind that, in the opinion of the medical men, not one of the three could have committed sui cide, and that of itself would induce the supposition that neither of the three could have participated in either of the murders. The house had been found quite fast all round, the key of the outer door of the kitchen, as before mentioned, being subsequently found in the well. Michael M'Cabe, now one of the witnesses, had been ap prehended on the afternoon of the same day. That man lived at a spot called High-town, three miles from Mr. Wraith's. He was a hawker by trade, dealt in glass and earthenware, and bought old rags and bones. The pri soner Patrick Reid also lived near, along with his father and mother, at Daw Green, about two miles from Wraith's house. He was of the same calling as M`Cabe. going about with a basket and hawking pots for sale. The well had been searched on the 19th of the same month. It was then pumped dry, being full of water up to about two feet of the top, and in it were found the key of the kitchen door, along with a soldering iron, which latter would be shown to have belonged to the prisoner, or his father, and to have been taken away from the house of a neighbour of the name of Kilty, only the night before the murders were committed; and on that key and that iron there were still, on the 19th, al though they had been in the water, such indications as a scientific chemist would describe as being those of blood. Some evidence would also be offered to prove the appearance of blood upon a part of the clothes of the two men, M'Cabe and the prisoner. Mr. Bliss then proceeded, after a very particular description of various localities, and their relative' distances in the neighbourhood, to trace the steps of those two persons, M`Cabe and the prisoner, from place to place, during a period of several hours, on the morn ing of the 12th, up to and subsequent to the time of the murders. M'Cabe had been seen by several persons at different spots, very near to Mr. Wraith's, and the pri sower also, and the two, either just before or just after the time when the crime must have been committed, were seen within a few yards of each other, and that within a few yards of Mr. Wraith's house. Near that house there was a public-house, kept by a man named Chadwick, called the Shoulder of Mutton, and the two were both seen at that house, the one coming in about ten minutes after the other had left. To all appearances the two men were at that time going from house to house in their ordinary occupations as hawkers. Near about the time when they were both seen near Mr. Wraith's, a witness had heard a loud shout or cry to proceed from the direction of Wraith's. Reid was at first seen with a cap on, and he was then going towards Mr. Wraith's. Afterwards, when going in an opposite direction, he was wearing a hat; and he was then pro ceedine• on the way towards his own house. When be fore the magistrate, Reid had made a statement, in which he said that he had, about the hour in question, called at Mr. Wraith's house with his basket, but having knocked, and finding the door fast, and no one to answer his knock, he left, and went away. He further stated, that afterwards, as he went to wards Mirfield Church, he came in company with " ti woman," and a witness would state that he was with a woman there, but that she was the prisoner's °viz mother. M•Cabe's evidence, if credited, was important as affecting the prisoner, because ho also said that he had called at Mr. Wraith's about the same time, knocked at the door, at first got no answer, but then heard foot steps at the door ; and the door being then opened a few inches, a man looked out at him for a short time, and M.Cabe said that that man was the prisoner at the bar. He (L'l'Cabe) said that something on the floor of the kitchen, just near the door, attracted his attention. He looked down and saw something white, sprinkled with blood ; and he added, that the prisoner, perceiving that he could see that, then shut the door. M'Cabe at that time heard a moaning noise within the door. He asked if they " wanted any pots" to which answer was made from within, in a low voice, " No, sir." M`Cabe then went away. The prisoner, it would seem, had for merly been on very good terms with the family at Mr. Wraith's, but some time ago he had a quarrel with Caroline Ellis, the servant, respecting a tea-caddy. He charged her with having taken one from his basket, and the dispute between them ended in Mr. Wraith making him quit the premises, since which he had been heard to say that he would be revenged for it, and, speaking of the servant, that he would " serve her out." Mr. Noble, the governor of the gaol, would repeat to the jury a statement made by the prisoner since his committal. The jury, Mr. Bliss concluded by saying, would have to consider the case in two points of view : to say if the evidence made out the charge, supported as it was by what M'Cabe would say ; and, if they doubted his veracity, to say if it were not sufficiently established by the facts spoken to by the other witnesses. The first witness, Mr. Charles Clapham, was ex amined merely upon the plans of the premises of Mr. Wraith, distances, &c. Joshua Green, the lad mentioned by Mr. Bliss, said that Mr. Wraith, for whom the witness worked, came to him about half-past eleven on the morning of the 12th of May, desiring him to come to help gather some stones. He came to the house of witness's father, at Cripplegate, opposite to a public house called the King's Head. Went accordingly at half-past one. Usually went at one, but was then prevented going at that time by a shower of rain. Went then to the kitchen door, which was fast. Knocked and kicked at the door, but no answer, and no noise, except that he could hear the " tic-tac" of the clock. Stopped at the door five mi nutes or so, and then went to the kitchen window, the shutters of which were about four inches open only, and the sash closed. On looking through he could just see something white laid on the floor, but could not tell what it was. He then went round into the garden in front of the house. The blinds of the room in which the family dined were closed, and he could not see into the room. At the front door he saw blood running out under the door in "blobs" (running out "in lumps like.") It ran on the step. Then ran home and told his mother, in two or three minutes after seeing this. John M`Kennall, Thomas Green (brother of Joshua), Mr. Henry J. Watkinson, and Mr. Uriah Bradbury, the two latter surgeons of Mirfield, were then examined as to the particular appearance of the house, and of the bodies of the three murdered persons. Mr. Watkinson detailed at length the result of his examination of the bodies. The throats of all three had been cut in the most dreadful manner, and in the instance of Mr. Wraith, it appeared that a blunter instrument had at first been tried, and then a sharper one used for the purpose. One of Mr. Wraith's razors was found lying on his breast, as he lay on the floor. His pockets were dvo t u eef r rat n athh e l pml d n nc s e i tTs d h, e hee c o amc u s hotk, mouth b l l u s t o h f a I f t h a e s t o h v r e e r e e i w g e n r e w f a r s ac found ed i i n n o s n e e r th ac o t i u r t. e h ebeoilndge gentlemann u enough o ofitself ladyto caus ewere found some pieces of pie crust, or bread, which they would seem to have been recently eating at their dinner, and also some of their teeth, which latter had evidently been knocked out by the blows inflicted by the murderer's hand. There was a poker in the parlour, and some of the injuries might have been done by that, and many of them by such as instrument as the soldering iron now produced, and found in the well. There were two drawers opened in the parlour, which appeared to have been rifled of a part of their contents. The table-cloth and a n Tkin upon it were spotted with blood, and a silver pint drinking cup, found on the table, also had blood upon it. It contained some beer, and ap parently there was blood mixed with the beer, blood on the handle, and running down the sides of the cup, as if the murderer had taken up the cup to drink with a bloody hand. Mrs. Wraith's wedding-ring had been taken off her firger. The bones of one of her arms were broken, and the female servant also had a broken arm. From the evidence of these witnesses the scene of the murder appears to have presented one of the most dread ful sights that can be imagined. It was supposed that the girl had, at the moment of attack, been engaged in cleaning the kitchen fender, which was found lying at some distance from the fireplace, with a small plate or saucer on it containing some sand. Mr. Watkinson said that on the body of the girl there was one garter, an elastic garter of a brown colour. He, on the Saturday (the 15th), went with the constables to Mrs. M'Cabe's, and there, in a box, they found a piece of j a bobe aDn n ntl eon o gtwoth t ehid h sceneb e hoe r suan:hr2ray g doolt a hunad r . epi Shoulder Gv e poei garter rsf Green, of fnnai ks:ns the same colour, and nearly the same t u:t w us t and pocnddroaosnmds stockingsof u l tocaf c hub e t anl w d eewd . ol) were officers, ef tle sicsotuetsaffo.tuttcepokhdenlirl, stockings. ih n gnc w as t le. that he superintendent custody made a statement to witness early ry wet. He morn ing. On the 14th took the prisoner into custody. Told him he was suspected of this murder, and that informa tion had been given of his being seen near the house of Wraith. Reid then said, " Well, I was there about the time you mention with my basket, selling things. I knocked at the door, but no one answered, and I walked on." Being asked if he chose to say where he then went, he proceeded to tell of his going forward and meeting with " a woman." Asked what dress he had on on the 12th? He replied, the same he then wore, which the witness then took off him. Cross-examined—There is a reward offered for a con viction of the offender in this case. Witness was twice with M`Cabe, in York Castle, yesterday (Sunday) the 18th of July. The first time, at noon, he made a statement. Had no conversation with him the second time, at about two o'clock ; but believed the statement he made the second time enlarged the first. Witness had no doubt but M`Cabe's stockings had been washed, when they were fund so wet as before stated. Mr. Sergeant WILKINS now submitted that M`Cabe should be called at once, before he closed his examination of arr. Green, in order to s ee how far Mr. Green might controvert the statements of M'Cabe. His LORDSHIP thought that course would be proper, and, therefore, Michael M'Cabe being put into the box, he stated, on examination in chief, that he was an Irishman, and had come to England when "at the breast." He was now about thirty-five years of age. On the 12th of May last was living at Hightown. Is a married man, and had lived in the same neighbourhood fur about five years. Had been from six to twelve times in all at Mr. Wraith's, hawking pots. Before the 12th of May, how ever, he had not been there for twelve months. On his next elevi eaett way there, on that day, he was at Charles Flint's, at between eight and nine in the morning, and then at other places— Smithson's, Hellas's, a place called Little London, and then at the Shoulder of Mutton. He was at the latter at some hour " convenient to dinner time." Saw Reid that day. He was at the Shoulder of Mutton (Chadwick's) when witness went in, but they did not speak. The witness then mentioned other places that he went to, and then said that he went to Mr. Wraith's, and to the kitchen door, at which he knocked. No one at first came to the door, but on his repeating the knock he heard a foot move up stairs, and afterwards heard it come step by step down stairs, and towards the door at which he stood. It seemed first to go towards the fire-place and than to the door. The witness knocked a third time, and the foot then came towards the door, and the door was unlocked and opened about six inches, so that a man's face might come out. He then asked if they " wanted anything in his way." A low voice answered " No, sir." At that time he could hear an " exhausted sigh," and saw something white on the floor underneath the door. It was sprinkled with blood. The man, who could see witness look at it, then shut the door. Witness then left, and as he put up his basket with his hands to place it on his head, he saw that the kitchen shutters were put tn. Saw the man's face in the doorway fair about two or three minutes; might be more or less. It WS3 that of Patrick Reid. Afterwards went to M'Ken nal's and to Smithson's, and at the latter smoked some tobacco, then to Flint's, and there remained for an hour or three quarters, and from that straight home. Was on the same day, afterwards, apprehended when on his way to Chadwick's. Had heard, while at Flint's, of the murder, and on hearing of it he made a statement. That was before he had been home. Had known Reid by sight for about five months, but did nut know his name. Anew him " by the look" well. Cross•examined—Came into court from the gaol, and was sent to gaol along with the prisoner, but did not know it was upon the charge of murdering these people. Was examined three or four times as a prisoner. On the 12th first went to Flint's. They are wholesale dealers in pots. First told his (witness's) lawyer, Mr. Watts, that Reid was the man he saw at Wraith's. Told him on the 18th or 19th of June. Flint asked him if he had seen anything else at Wraith's. Did not tell Flint that he had seen " lots of blood "on the floor. Did not say that he had heard " groans, and heavy groans;" but did say that he had heard an exhausted moan. On the next morning Mr. Green, the inspector, came to him, at about four, in the lock-ups. Did not then say to Green, "Mr. Green, I wish to tell you how it was that I was at that house where the murder was committed." Did not tell him that the man he saw was a tall, good-looking man, nor that the man kept the door open about three inches; he said six inches. Did not know what he (lid say to Mr. Green. Did not tell him that he (witness) was alarmed, and thought that the man would knock his head off. Had said that Mr. Flint stated that it was not certain if it were a murder, or whether all the family had been killed by a thunder-storm. Had alas said that he thought the blood might have been caused by their " killing fowls for a feast;" and also, that the moans he heard might have been those of the old lady in illness, and the strange man who opened the door the person attending on her. But witness did not, in fact, think they were killing fowl,, nor did he think the strange man to be attending the old lady, because there was a servant in the house. When at Chadwick's, after being at Wraith's, witness did strike his hand down on the table, and exclaim, " I have missed it, I have missed it—that man is gone, and lam here." At first, did not tell Green of the prisoner being the man, because he was not then sure of the mar. Was not sure it was Reid until the evening of the 12. h. Required time to consider, though he knew pri , oner', tace. Could not see the whole of his face :aheti he opened the door. Only saw one side of it. When the prisoner was at first brought, witness told Green 'hat he (witness) did not know him ; and first told Mr. Watts, his (witness's) attorney, on the 19th or 20th o' June, that he knew Reid to be the man. Knew nothing of the piece of garter now shown to hire, and said to be found at his (witness's) house. Had never had it in his hand before to day. Made two statements to Greer. yesterday (June 18th), and then, for the first time, said that he had seen Reid standing near to Mr. Wrath's, cith two other men, on the day of the murder. By his LORDSUIP—ToId Mr. Green once that he did t_ ir t ,, o hr t eoe f i ht i n e o t w h‘ % a, as . h s. o Reid was. But he (witness) did know By Mr. Buss—Was not sure that he did ever tell Mr. Mr. Green recalled—Was asked as to several of the assertions just made by M'Cebe, and dlrectlycontradicted some of the material of them. John Hey worth (constable), Jonathan Ashton, and John Wraith were examined, and proved the finding of the things in the well, and the fitting of the key to the kitchen door-lock. A mason, named Dawson, said that he had paid Mr. Wraith a sovereign and sixteen half crowns on Monday, the 18th May. He (Wraith) was that day at Wake field, and he then had a watch in his possession. And a stepson of the deceased, named Parker, said he had seen deceased counting some money in his parlour on the 11th, and saw a sovereign drop. Charles Flint stated that M'Cabe did say he had heard " groans, heavy groans," when at Wraith's. Witness never heard any thunder at all. M'Cabe did also say on the 12th that he had seen " lots of blood" on the floor. Mr. Joshua Elliee kn , g(i)enius a rgtsls m a a l n o u n f e a . cturer, was examined as to the fabric of the garters. He said he did not think them a pair, and that they were not made of the same material precisely. Several other witnesses were examined, who spoke to seeing the prisoner in the neighbourhood of Wraith's on the morning in question, and also as to his first wearing a cap, and then going the other way with a hat. And Benjamin Moreton, a hawker, spoke positively to seeing both M`Cabe and the prisoner standing within sixty yards of each other, very near Wraith's, just about the time of the shower of rain before-mentioned. Mr. W. West, a member of the Society of Friends, and of the Royal Society, a chemist, from Leeds, was called to show that there were some spots of human blood on the clothes shown to him, and that there was blood also on the key and the soldering iron. From several experiments he had made he was decidedly of opinion that there remained some portion of " animal matter" upon the key and the iron. His experiments, the witness said, had been made with such nicety and care as even to anticipate his being deceived by any perspiration which aright have been left on the metal. Fibrin, a component part of the blood, was a component which would resist the influence of the water. Mr. Noble, governor of the gaol in the castle, said that when Mr. Watts, M'Cabe's attorney, came to see M`Cabe, Reid asked him (witness) what had passed between Mr. Watts and *Cabe. He (Mr. Noble) said that he did not know, but that it was thought by the public that there must have been more than two persons engaged in the murder. The prisoner then made a re mark, which he (Mr. Noble) was not sure of being able exactly to repeat: it was either that " there was no others in it, or none knew about it but them two." Ile used the word them. No, net the word "them," but. " us"—" us two." Prisoner asked " what he thought of the case," and witness said, in reply, that he thought he was in a very serious predicament, for if the jury found him guilty he would be sure to be executed. On cross-examination, Mr. Noble said he could not be perfectly sure of the words the prisoner used as to i s a h g, o r s i v hr n eio .. w. the persons " knowing of it." lie had not expected at the time to be a witness. He spoke from his impression merely. IN reith Green, great nephew of Mr. Wraith, and Rose Ann Hellas, of Mirfield, stated, the first, the circum stances of the prisoner's quarrel with the female servant, Caroline Ellis, just before Christmas last ; and the second, that about last Ea oo s f t n e mi r yy s s h mt e lls h ek a d,, d t,a m ta e nt t (hi the prisoner in the road near Wraith's, when, th en e , g p ir o l i , nt , i , n l g n t n o t w d a — rds hi t u h i t t , i l s , will a nd serve to ld igaet lrish hawker, living at Dave Green, in h h i it li o t nTr s t 1 s of lh e uo : mt taken s h taho e sro Kt s s li o a l tid m i .t d ,:l e y ' e i t h s la p i tN n ni e , 1 about thirty yards from the prisoner's father, had bor rowed the soldering iron now produced from the pri soner's father several times, and the last time it was on the 11th of April. Witness saw prisoner on the 11th of May, and the soldering iron was then at witness's h se im lf . and Ga sa v m e e a ,,solder house, lying in a corner. Prisoner came in for it, and said that his father wanted it. Witness's wife told him m ay ur " d i e th r , , , and before it had been where it was, and that he might take it. Prisoner then cross-examination, admitted that he descrip tiontook o i f t , and this iron carrieds isince e it tl a ie w i o t n n c o r w o s t s o . e b x e a t m h had been committed to gaol at Wakefield for desertion, and thence transferred for six months to Gloucester. witness, on And also that he had been in gaol at Manchester, being convicted of hawking without a license. Had, perhaps, sometimes thrashed his wife , b ut never knew of her seek ing irefuge at the prisoner's hou se ; and never accused them (his wif e an d Reid) of being t oo intimat e. There were only himself and wife present when Reid came for the iron. Did not know if any one else now in York bad she is not here. The wife corroborated Kitty's statement about Reid ever seen the iron at his house. M ar y Waldron had, but coming for the iron, which she could identify with cer tainty. She had asked prisoner if he was " preparing for the Daw.greon row that night (it having been said that all the new-comers of the Irish there were to be driven out of the place). She said to him, speaking of the solderi ng i ron w hi c h he had just taken up , t h at "any person th a t got a bl ow w ith that would not know what had happen e d t o t h em ." Prisoner thereupon waved the iron, and said, " No, they will not." Cross -examined—Never took refuge in prisoner's house. Her husband had thrashed her many a time. Thrashed her, she supposed, when she deserved it. The case for the prosecution having closed at about half-past three to-day, Mr. Sergeant WILKINS proceeded to address the jury, in a speech of about three hours, in which he showed his usual ability, and which commanded profound attention from a crowded audience. The summing un occupied until nearly six, when the jury retired, and they did not return into court until ten minutes before nine this evening. They then begged to ask a question of the Court, and came back into the box for ;hat purpose. The foreman was handing a written question to the Learned Judge, when His .Loensetee said they had better read it out. The forem an t h en, reading from the paper, said that the jury wished to know whether, if the prisoner were acquitted on the present indictment, he could again be tried for the murders of the women, supposing that ad ditional evidence could he obtained? They did not now think the evidence sufficient. could not answer them, because it w as not one His LORD SHIP to ld t h em that that was a questitn which he whicb they at p resent cou ld properly inquire into. The foreman—Then, my Lord, I don't think we shall ever agree. His LORDSHIP said he supposed they must have been making a mistake, because in the present trial they had nothing to do with the questions of the other murders. The fixteman—Oh, then, my Lord, we are quite agreed. And he wis about to pronounce a verdict of acquittal, when some of the jurors suggested that they had better again retire. They did so, and after about five minutes' absence, came back, saying, by the fore man, that they found the prisoner Not Guilty. MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—Lincoln, July 20. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron ROLFE.) MURDERS BY POISON.—Mary Ann Milner, a rather interesting young woman, aged 27, was charged with the murder of her muther-in•law, ...lary Milner, by poison. Mr. Wildman and Mr. Dennison prosecuted ; Mr. Miller defended the prisoner. The prisoner and her husband lived at the village of Barnathy-le- Wold, in this county, and were agricultural lahourrs, or cotters. The deceased and her husbar.d lived in the same village. It would seem the old people were taken ill, and were recommended by the doctor who attended them to take sago. It would seem that during the time the mother and father-in-law were taking the sago the prisoner was there, and had almost the whole house to herself, and to one of the witnesses she admitted having given the sago to the old people. The mother died. The father survived, but has beco ne paralytic. Suspicion having been excited by subsequent circumstances, the body was exhumed, and the presence of arsenic clearly detected. The prisoner was proved to have purchased arsenic, but the facts were too slight to warrant a verdict of guilty, and a verdict of Not Guilty was returned. The prisoner was then charged with the murder of Hannah fiche's, being the wife of her brother. Mr. Wildman and Mr. Dennison prosecuted ; Mr. Miller defended. It appeared that on the 30th of June the deceased had eaten some pancake in the morning with the pri soner, and about ten o'clock she came into the kitchen of one Mary Winter, stating she had been so eating the pancake, and that she believed she was poisoned, and should die, that the pancake had poisoned her. She stated she had not taken any poison herself, and had never had any in the house. Deceased, who appeared to be in full possession of her senses, then left and went to her own house, the witness followed, and found her on her knees, violently sick, and saying the pancake had poisoned her. She wished her husband to be sent for, and he shortly afterwards arrived. This witness proved that she was with the deceased at intervals up to two o'clock of that day, and she continually complained of her throat being very hot. Mary Watson went and told the prisoner what Tickels said about being poisoned by the pancake ; whereupon she turned pale, her lips became white, and she seemed almost unable to walk. The prisoner went to the deceased, and said, " Oh, Hannah, do you think that the pancake has caused you to be so ? ' Tickels was unable to reply. She died about six o'clock of the same evening. The first matter vomited was thrown oway, but the witness thought what was subsequently vomited should be preserved, and told the prisoner so, but after the death of Tickels, prisoner said it had got thrown away. Elizabeth Wat son proved that between eight and nine o'clock of the day in question deceased came to her, and asked, ":Whether she had any one iu her house ?" she replied, " No." Deceased said, " she would tell her something, but she was not to tell any one." She then stated the prisoner had come to her house and said, " Why, you have no fire; I'll lay you have nothing warm this morn ing, and if she would go with her she (the prisoner) would fry her a pancake. That she went and had the pancake, but she b.-lieved the prisoner had put sonic thing in it, she felt so queer—that she would have left a portion of the pancake, but a lodger was present, and it would have looked unmannerly." William Percival, a grocer in the same village, proved that six it eight week, previous the deceased came for a pennyworth of mi•rcury (white arsenic). He said it was rather an awkward thing, but she appeared to be in her right mind, and not likely to destroy herself. She replica, " :)11 no, I want to kill some rats. " Jam« , s Burdet Moxon, a surgeon, proved the making a post mort- m examination of the body, and gave it as his opinion, that death was caused by arsenic, in which opinion be was confirmed by Mr. Paleron, a sur geon, of Brigg. _ The jury returned a verdict of Gotlty, and sentence of death .was passed upon her. There was another indiLornent against her for the murder of Ellen Tickels. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MA << SIO.N-HOUSE. CHARGE oF, FORGERY.— WiIIiam H. G. Baugh, was hroughs up for final examination upon the charge of having forged a draft upon Coutt's bank for 2221. 15s. 6d., in the name of John Sidey Caley, of Brook street, Brentwood. Messrs. Bush and Muller, solicitors to the committee of bankers for protection against forgeries and fraud, attended for the prosecution. The date of the draft was 7th April, 1847. The following was the additional evidence in the case: Mr. Charles Carne Lewis said—l am an attorney of Brentwood, and am Coroner for the county of Essex. Ile prisoner was in my service as a clerk until the day of his apprehension. He entered my service in the month of June, 1846, at a salary of 1001. a year. In April last I was engaged for the parish of South Weald in an ap peal with the Eastern Counties Railroad against the as signment of the poor-rates of the parish, and a question arose whether certain occupants of the parish were not rated too low. in consequence of which I applied to several occupants to let tne have their receipts for rent, amongst others to Mr. Caley. I received from Mr. Caley a letter containing two receipts. I have made strict search for these documents and cannot find them. I am not positively certain of the contents of the re ceipts. The prisoner had access to those documents, and was partially engaged in the appeal. On the 13th of April the prisoner left me at 'Thetford to go to Somerset House to pass some accounts. The memorandum in the pocket-book produced is in the prisoner's hand writing. I produce his disbursement book, in which is an entry on the 13th of Apt it of one shilling, charged as his omnibus fare to and from London. On the 29th of April the prisoner applied to me for leave of absence, which I gave him for a few days. Tee entry in the pocket-book of the 30th of April is in his handwriting. I don't recollect seeing him again until the 13th of May, but I believe he was at my office on the 12th. He staid away longer than the extent of my . permission. He said it was on account of illness, and I understood he bad been to Chester. (Here several entrit s were pointed out to the witness, one of which was " 29th May, admitted at Lin. Inn, paid 31/. 13s. fees," and be hutted his beih f that they were all in the handwriting of the prisoner. In his cross-examination, the witness said all the clerks in his office had access to the receipts. The pri soner resided at Miss Carey's, Bramwell-cottage, Brent wood. Mr. E. P. Frodsham, clerk in the North and South Wales Bank ill Liverpool, s.,id—On the 10th May last a person applied to me at the bank for a credit in Birming ham for 152/ in favour of Ernest Hawkins, Esq. The person so applying handed to me the produced ticket ready filled up, and said he could not have a credit in Birmingham as we had no agent there, but he could have a credit in London; that an order in London would answer his purpose just as well, as it could be cashee at Birmingham. Ile said it would do. He then gave me Bauk of England nt.tes amounting to 1551., aid deducted the 1521. and 7s. Bd. for commission, and gave to the party 21, 12s 4.1. as the balance of the 155/ and altered the ticket, by strikng out " Birmingham anti inserting London," and inserting the words " Ott de mand" at the top of ttie ticket of those given him. I-le produced a draft on the London and Westminster B 1•11 r, for the 152/. The hank re tes which Iso received, I de. livered, together with the ticket, to Mr. R.Jones, another clerk in the bank at Liverpool. Tne bank notes received by the last witness for the 1521. draft on the London and Westminster B an k, now proved to be one of those which had been indirectly received in payment of the forgery , and w ere traced through several hands, so that it was quite evid en t t h at the perpetrator calculated upon escape, from the con fusion likely to arise from his ingenuity. Mr. George Doudney said I am assistant to my father in his business as a tailor, carried on at 49, Lombard street. The prisoner has been a customer of ours for about twelve months. On the 14th of June last, I re ceived a 50/. note from Mr. Baugh, our foreman, in the prisoner's presence. I took it to Messrs. Barclay and Co. for change, and received ten 51. notes, and gave Mr. Baugh nine of them, and the difference, between 31. 19.9., and the other 51. note he gave to the prisoner. William Pearce, a person in the service of Mr. Doudney, recollected that the prisoner called on the 13th of April to pay his bill, observed that the prisoner had a great deal more money in gold and bank notes. He noticed the circumstance particularly, in consequence of repeated applications having been made for the amount of the bill, and an order having been refused to be exe cuted because the money was not paid. Mr. W. Base said, I am a clerk to Messrs. Bush and Mullens, of No. 7, St. Mildred's-court, Poultry, solicitors. In consequence of information which I received on the 12th of July, I went to Messrs. Doudney's, and saw the , prisoner in a cab at the door. I got into the cab, and said,' I believe you are Mr. Baugh; it will be in your re ' collection that you paid to Mr. Doudney a 501. note. After some hesitation he said, " Yes; I received two 50/ notes from a salesman." I said it is important that we should know from whom you received the notes ; they are indirectly the produce of a forgery. I observed considerable hesitation about him, and said, perhaps you would prefer giving your explanation to Mr. Bush. He asked who Mr. Bush was ? I said he is the solicitor to the Bankers' Associa tion. He then consented to go. I left the cab, and John Forrester got in, and they drove away together. Shortly afterwards I saw the prisoner at No. 7, St. Mil dred's-court. Mr. Bush, Mr. Dcudney, John Forrester the prisoner, and myself, were present altogether. After some preliminary observations respecting the forgery, Mr. Bush cautioned the prison. r that what he might say might be given in evidence against him ; and then Mr. Bush said it was his duty to call upon him to ac c-unt for the possession of that 501. note. The prisoner hes:Lded very much, and afterwards said, " I sent some horses to Smithfield, and received 1001. for them. I think he said he sent them from Brentwood. Mr. Bush said he w, , ,s bound to ask him the name of the party who had given him the notes ? The prisoner returned , no answer, and was given into the custody of Forrester. I afterwat.ds went to Brentwood to the house of a Miss Casey, culled Bromwell cottage ; and in a sitting room there fund a number of papers. Amongst which was the bill producad, of Mr. William Douduey, for 31. 195., Mr. Lioudney's bill and receipt for 11/. 175., and a re cleiptisi4nedbtyhe the Stew pocketStuew:trdot'L bk. aic o o o lu's Inn, for 31/. 3i.. 01., and describedsaid— whji n th l e ' o i w r t e i s t e n . e t e , r r s r s I Base, l w a s s e r i a b t e d t the n i d n t h e rev ihascw ectly. found upon him a 201.

No attempt was made to prove that he had had any dealings in horses at Smithfb-.ld. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF BILL STEALING.— George Ritnian, and Thomas 7 ally, an eating-housekeeper, residing at No. 91, St. Martin's lane, were charged by John William Sawyer, clerk to Messrs. Green and Co., notaries, Change-alley, Cornhill, with stealing a bill of exchange for 22/. _ _ The — prosecutor stated that on the previous afternoon, about ten minutes to five o'clock, he went to No. 91, St. Martin's lane, to present a bill for payment of 221 He drew it from his case with a notice attached, and presented the latter to a female, who went away with it, and presently returned with the prisoner Ritman, vs ho looked at the bill in his hands. Shortly afterwards the prisoner Tully presented himself, and asked witness if he had the bill in his possession, and if he would allow him (Tully) to look at it, which he did, and the prisoner took it in his hands, and after looking at it for a few minutes threw it on the table, and said the writing was not his, and it was a forgery. Witness then took hold of the bill, and was in the act of raising it from the table, when the prisoner Ritman snatched it from him, and squeezed it up, and passed it to a female whom Tully said was his wife, whe tore it,and subsequently gave the fragments to Tully. Witness told them that they had acted very wrong in tearing the bill. The prisoners laughed at him, and said it was a swindling affair, and told him to be off about his business. He then went for a constable and gave the prisoners into custody. In cross-examination the prosecutor stated that he did not know whether it was the practice of bankers to pre sent bills before they were sent to a notary. Mr. Green was employed by Mr. Whitfield, the owner of the bill. Could not tell how many indorsements there were on the back of the bill, but believed there might be two. The solicitor for the prisoner said, he had no further creations to ask. He would merely state to the magis trate the brief facts of the case. Mr. Tully was keeping an eating house in St. Martin's lane. Some few weeks ago three well dressed men went to his house, and ordered a dinner to be ready for them by four o'clock. They afterwards left the house, and after being absent for a couple of hours returned, and said that now they would enjoy themselves, as they had sent the governor off to a pigeon match at Chalk Farm. After partaking of their dinner they proposed that Mr. Tully should join them in a game of cards. He unfortunately consented, and lost 81. and several bottles of wine. He drank a portion of the wine, and speedily became in such a state that he was easily induced to give a bill for the amount he had lost at cards. He had never seen O'e men since, nor did he know that the bill of exchaf4je was out till it was presented by the complainant. It was in a moment a excitement that Mr. Tully had acted as he had done, as he knew that the bill had been ob tained from him in u fraudulent manner. He had no further remarks to offer, but would leave the case in the Magis: rate's hands. Mr. BINGHAM said, whether the bill was a swindle or a forgery, was not a question for him to decide. He would propose that the prisoners, or some one on their part, should replace th , ., bid and give it to the com• plainant, and that they should al-o reimburse Messrs. Green for the trouble they had been at in presenting it. It that was done he should discharge them. The bill was subsequently pa,teclingether artd brough into Court. and the expenses having been paid, the 1,1 -1- sorters were discharged. CLERKE A' WELL. John Ramsay, wh“, it will be ecolitcted, surrendered kimself to the police on his own confession, was again placed at the bar before Mr. Araold, charged with the wilful murder of . Mr. 114 my Williams. Evidence was taken at great length as to the occur. rences of the night when Mr. Wiliiams received the injuries that cau., , d his d-ath, but notating definite was prcved that tended to connect the prisoner with the cr;me of which he accu-ed himself. Ultimately the case was remanded for a week. THAMES. Caroline Ayres, a young woman about 20 years of ate, was cha4-:ei before Mr. Yardley with stealing various -urns of money belonging to her mister, Mr. George Blake, landlord of the King of Prussia public house, in Cartwright-street, Rosemary lane. Toe prisoner had been in the service of Mr. Blake as bar-maid for ono year and nine months. Her wages were only 81. per annum, besides board and lodging, and when she entered hi r masier's service she was very poor and p , sseised of very little clothing. For some time past Mr. Brake, who is a widower, and placed great confidt ns..: in the prisoner, ascertained that his ncelpts did not at all correspond in amount with the sale of spirits, ale, and beer. He was slow to suspect any one, and his losses continued to increase to an alarming ex• tent. At last he began to entertain suspicions of his bar-maid, and ascertained she was in the practice of making large purchases, spending a good deal of money, and that she was about to be married. Having been informed by another woman in his service that the prisoner had given her money out of the till to make purchases for her, he called in police-sergeant Eves, No. 14 H, and Chaplin, a con stable, No. 104 who commenced s e ar c hi ng h er b oxes and drawers.. W hile Eves was engaged in searching a drawer in the prisoner's bed-room, she took a piece of paper out of a box, and before he could stop her she put it into her mouth, and made an attempt to swallow it. Eves without any ceremony grasped her by the throat and made her disgorge the paper. In doing so she was nearly choked. After a great struggle he obtained pos session of it. The writing upon it was the prisoner's own, and commenced thus, " Already bought, 201. 10s. 6d.," and then recited a list of various articles, including a bedstead, bedding, table covers, Chinese ornaments, vases, &c., recently purchased to the amount of 51. more. Eves then continued his search, and found the prisoner's boxes crammed with the most expensive articles of wearing apparel, including a cardinal cloak of the best silk, a new dress, five shawls, four cards of lace, and four hand some bonnets trimmed with the most elegant ribbons. The other articles were of a miscellaneous description, and their production exhibited sufficient proof ths t the prisoner had made extensive preparations to go into housekeeping with her intended husband on her own account. Toe purchase of these go ale by the prisoner could only have been effeoted by contin .ally robbing her master, and the deficiency in his rec. , ipts was at once accounted for. A large piece of calico was also found in one of her boxes, and it appeared from the evidence of a fellow-servant that a kw days the pi i , on-r took ss. lid., in ballpehce, out of till and directed her to purchase some calico and a pot!,e of strawheiri,s. A bed, bolster, and two pillows, uhlch the prisoner bought a few days ago, were deposited in a house next door to the King of Prussia, end were taken p. issession of by the police. The prisoner had not forgotten to purcha-e a very hAndsotee 14dy's silver watch, and jewellery to adorn her p.•rsoa, and the police laid their ruthless hands ou this propery also, and would hot allow her the use of the geld eardrops, brooch, tiny;, and ke.-per, which she intended to wear for th- first time on her w.ddinv-day. While Chaplin was looking over the ba.k kitchen he ob served the bride in expectancy cover a wet cloth over the dresser. He raised it, and found tt silver water. d at live guineas. The prisoner wished hi r maser, th? police, and the magistsare, to believe that she was enabled to make the exteasive purchases she had done out of her wages-81. per year, but they were not so credulous; they believed Mr. I.3:ake. till supplied her with the money. The prisoner, who treated the effair with much levity, said she purchased the calico wish her master's money for the use of the house. Mr. Blake said he had never authorised the prisoner ;0 do anything of the kind. Mr. YARDLEY remanded the prisoner for a week. SOU IRWARK. Mr. Sr-cker, one of the magistrates of this Court, held a lung investigation in the lobby of the Queen's Prison, relative to a charge of assault brought by Hart Davis against Mr../. L. Barrotti, Captain Clarke, Major Talfull, and Mr. Bean. All parties were prisoners at the time. Mr. Sims attended for the prosecution. From the statement of the complainant, it appeared that on the evening of Wednesday, the 14th, while on the ground of the prison, he was suddenly attacked by Barrotti and Clarke, who knocked him down and kicked him severely. The other two defendants subsequently took part in the attack upon him, and continued to ill treat him until he was rescued by some of the watch men and turnkeys. He was so much injured as to be obliged to go to the infirmary for the night. Mr. Parry, who appeared for the defendants, said that he could prove that the complainant's statements were very much exaggerated, and cross examined him with th,- view of showing that his previous conduct had been calculated to give great cause of provocation. He hoped that the magistrate would deal summarily with the case, and consider that an apology from Mr. Barrotti would be sufficient reparation. Mr. SECTIER having intimated that he should send the case before another tribunal, Mr. Parry said that he should not, in that case, call his witnesses. 'rho charge was then referred to the next sessions, all the parties being bound over to key the peace in the meantime. FORGED BANK OF ENGLAND INOTES.—Parties would do well to be exceedingly careful in examining Bank of England notes before they are taken, as there are some forged notes now in circulation, of most superior workmanship, and in which the resemblance to the true notes is carried into the most minute particulars. On Tuesday a note was returned to a gentleman in Man chester, stamped as forged, by the Bank of England, which appeared from one of the endorsements on the back to have previously passed through the well known London bank of Robarts and Co. In this note, which purported to be a Birmingham one, No. A. 05204, dat e d April 14th, and signed " S. Roberts," not only were the water mark and the lettering of the note imitated so closely as to defy detection on a very cli se examination by the unpractised, but there were even in the note some of those minute dots in the letters of the word " Five,' by the absence of which forged notes are sometimes de- tected. The signature was an exceedingly close resem blance as to the form of the letters, though there were some small differences between the flourishing in the false signature and a real on , of Mr. Roberts's ; the false signature was also in much darker iuk than the true one. The only other variation that could be de tected was an exceedingly slight one in the border tracing of the stamp in the corner of the note.—New castle Guardian. The Hight lion.
