THE NAVIGATION LAWS. The select committee on this subject met onTuesday in committee-room N 0.2. There were present, Mr. Ricardo, who, in the absence of Mr. M. Gibson, was appointed to the chair • Hon. Mr. Liddell, Mr. Mitche ll, Admiral Dundas, kr. Hume, Mr. Lyall, Sir Robert Peel, Sir George Clerk, Mr. WCarthy, Sir Howard Douglas, Hon. Mr. Villiers. The examination of Mr. Browning was resumed. By Mr. Hume—He was well acquainted with th d e South Sea whale fishing trade, both in its English an d- A m erican branches. The Americans had a grcu rea t a vantage over the English, owing t o the circums tance that their vessels were provide d cheaper. They w generally ships that were too old for other trades ; and they were purchased and fitted out on a joint account by different parties ; the shipwrights repairing her, and other artisans fitting her with stores, taking their chance of the profits arising from her fishing. The same are rangement was made with those who navigated her—tha ordinary seaman recei vin g one-sixtieth part of her net profits, and the captain about one-twelfth. Then the vessel did not carry any money with her ; but the cap tain took out a quantity of cotton goods, with which he traded with the islanders in those seas for provisions. He turned this to account even with his own sailors, for if they wanted spending money the captain told them that he would advance them no money, and that if they wished to anticipate their profits, or their lay, as they termed it, they must do so at their own disadvantage, for he could only give them cotton goods, which were worth not more than from two to three cents per yard, but for which he charged them at the rate of 2s. per yard, and the sailors in their thoughtlessness, were too read) to agree to it. He knew that British seamen were, to a considerable extent, employed in the American whale fishery. There were a great number of burdens and duties pressing upon the American whale ships; he calculated them to amount on a ship of 317 tons to 3641. He knew that this was the case in 1844. The English whalers could not compete with these American vessels, because they were fitted out for a three or four years' voyage, so that an expense was incurred which the profits would not pay. But the colonial whale fishing vessels, particularly those from Australia, were well able to compete with the Americans, and their numbers were increasing. If the navigation-laws were repealed and the colonists allowed to purchase foreign vessels, parti cularly those- that might be stranded on their coasts, they would have a still greater advantage. The number of vessels of all sizes employed by the Americans in this trade on the Ist of January, 1847, amounted to 722. The number of British whalers was thirty-nine. The number of vessels employed from Sydney, New Bruns wick, Van Diemen's Land, &c., amounted to seventy five. The American whalers were generally of an in ferior class of vessels, and could not follow the whales into high latitudes or hook on to them in rough weather. The best whaling ground was off the Chatham Islands, where the weather was stormy. If the navigation-laws were repealed, he had no fear of competition with the Americans. By Admiral Dundas—The system of paying the sea men by the lay made the bargain a more profitable bar gain for the owners; but it tended to disgust the seamen with the service, as captains were sometimes induced to ill-treat their men, to force them to desert, and thus forfeit their claims to their share in the profits. The colonial whalers w ere principally manned by English men, and now they employed a great number of their New Zealand fellow-subjects, who made capital whalers, particularly in striking the whale. He expected much good from the colonists being allowed to purchase fo reign stranded vessels; but he could not tell how many had been stranded in the course of a year. Ti .e American Government used to give a bounty to their whale fishers, but he did not know if it was still con tinued. By Mr. Liddell—lf the London whaling vessels were to remain constantly upon the fishing grounds, and send the cargo home on freight, they would be able to carry on the trade to great advantage; because their vessels were stronger than those of the Americans, and could follow the whales into latitudes where the Ame ricans could not follow them. The English shipowners had nothing to fear, if the duties were removed from fo reign timber used in ship building. Mr. Liddell—Bat are not the generality of British vessels built of British oak? Mr. Browning--They would be so, but the supply is not equal to the demand. Mr. Liddell—Well, I can assure you that I live in a ship-building country, and I have a good deal of oak to dispose of; but Ido not find, unfortunately, that the demand is equal to the supply ?—(Laughter.) Admiral vandal—lt the navigation-laws were re pealed, would not the Dutch, Danes, and Swedes enter into the trade of bringing coals from Newcastle to London, and sail their ships cheaper than we do? Mr. Browning—l do not think they would. The men would desert immediately. Admiral Dundas—l don't think you understand my question. Suppose a Dutchman to bring a cargo of coals from Newcastle to London, would he carry these coals cheaper than an Englishman would carry them? Mr. Browning—lf the navigation-laws were repealed, we should get our ships cheaper than we do now. Admiral Dunda'—But did you ever see the feeding on board these ships? Mr. Browning—lf they come into this country they must be fed the same as our own sailors. Admiral Dundas—But the Dutchman lives on board his own ship ; he has nothing to do with our ships or sailors. Mr. Hume explained that the witness meant that the effect of competition would he to equalise the rate of wages and provisions on board both kinds of ships. Mr M'Carthv—As the Baltic ships - are frozen up in their own ports for a great portion of the winter, would it not be a great advantage to them to employ the winter in our coasting trade? Mr. Browning—Oh, the men would desert immediately. Mr. Liddell—But they crime over here occasionally now; why do they not desert? By Mr. Mitchell—Leaving out the question of the coal trade, there was not the remotest chance of foreigners competing with us in our coasting trade. This closed the examination of Mr. Browning; after which the committee-room was cleared for a short time. On our re-admission we found Mr. Berger, of the firm of M'Lean, Mearns, and Co., merchants and commission agents, under examination. He said that his house was engaged in bringing several articles frem the United States, but no: the produce of that country, into England. Among these articles were palm oil, African and East India hides, gums, Cuba tobacco, East India drugs, spi ces , &c. These articles, under the provision of the navigation-laws, could only be brought here in British vessels; and as they were for the most part shipped from the northern ports of the States, such as Salem, Boston, &c., to which ports English vessels seldom came, the consequence was that they had often to wait for weeks and months in order to obtain vessels, and sometimes to send for them to St. John's, New Brunswick, and other colonial ports. The vessels so obtained were generally of an inferior description, involving increased insurances, risk of loss, and risk of losing the market. He cited several instances where the merchants had sustained great loss and inconvenience in consequence, and in some cases where the goods were not shipped at all; and this latter consequence had lost his firm the corn. mission on the cargo, which was a heavy loss, that he could not consider otherwise than a tax which they had to pay for the protection of British shipping. lie was aware that American vessels were generally preferred by American merchants in which to ship their goods. He was frequently ordered by his American correspon dents on no account to ship their goods in British ves sels. This happened every month. He believed this preference did not arise from patriotic motives, but simply from commercial motives. By Sir George Clerk—The principal reason why the American vessels were preferred was their superior sail. ing. He had also been engaged in the Mediterranean trade, and the same inconveniences were experienced in that trade. For instance, the Gambia and Senegal trade was almost exclusively in the hands of the Bordeaux and Marseilles merchants, and the gums brought in those trades could not be brought to England even by English vessels. The consequence was that when the English market was bare, the manufacturers must either go without, or they were carried from Bordeaux to America, and then, at great cost and loss of time, trans shipped to England. By Mr. Liddell—The American navigation-laws, which were the type of our own, prevented foreign goods being sent from this country except in American vessels ; and this caused a great loss of freight to the English, for these articles of foreign produce were gene rally of a very fine description, which commanded high freights. The English only exported the coarser and cheaper articles, which commanded low freights. He was aware that the best English vessels were quite able to compete with the finest American vessels, but the English ships of that class went chiefly to the south for cotton, and it was only the ships of an inferior class that went to New York and the other northern ports. By Sir R. Peel—The great reason why the American ships were preferred was that they made the voyage quicker. He should be sorry to say anything in dis paragement of British seamen, but he believed that, cceteris paribus, the American captains and mates were smarter and more intelligent than the English, which was shown by the fact that they got their cargoes in and out sooner than the English officers ; for in more than one instance his American correspondents had com• plained that the English captains were so long in dis charging their cargoes, though, on the average, there was a greater number of hands on board the English vessels. He considered that the average amo un t of dif ference between the English and American vessels on their that page to this cou n try was a b ou t t en d ays ; an d By air difference was still gre a t er on t h e p assage out . repealed, he wardDouglas—lf the navi ga ti on -l aws were he was engaged thought that the p ar ti cu l ar t ra d e i n w hi c h would be doubl e d ; an d, t h ere f ore , even American s though the sobtained a share i n it, th a t wou ld not diminish the profit s now made by the E ng li s h, or , at any rate, the loss would be so small as to b ear no pro portion to the loss sustainedes present by the merch an t s . By Admiral Dundas—The abject the navigation laws might be the encouragemnt of seamen seamenamen than but the fact was, they had already produced been able t o spare so they wanted, and hence the y had many to the Americans. Admiral Dundas—Then you think the repeal of the navigation-laws would reduce the number?—Mr.Berger did not say that ; but he must remark that the amount of British shipping did not cause trade, but it was tr a d e that caused the amount of British shipping to be em ployed ; and therefore he thought that the increase o f trade would cause the number of British ships and British seamen to be increased. With regard to the Baltic ships, he knew that they were built and navigated nominally cheaper, yet they were not so in reality. People were apt to lose sight of the fact that even now the Baltic shipowners preferred their vessels to be frozen up in their ports for three months in a year rather than send them abroad. They had certain advantages while A at home, but the moment they left their own shores those advantages were lost ; 19r they must raise the MORNING-, MARCH 25, 1847. THE SUN, LONDON THtTRSDAY,.._ wages and the provisioning of their ships, or other wise their men would leave them. He believed that if they were to throw the ports open to morrow there would not be one in a hundred Baltic vessels coming to this country, because they left families at home, and were not accustomed to depart for any time from their own homesteads. By Mr. Hume—At present the United States ad mitted vessels from Prussia, Denmark, and Sweden to bring goods into the United States from any country whatever ; and the result was that Prussia last year skit twenty-one ships of 5,439 tons ; Sweden, eighty-four ships of 24,057 tons ; Denmark, nineteen hips of 4,910 tons ; while England had sent 5,209 ships of 809,777 tons. With regard to Prussia, the same thing occurred. In the year 1846, 298 British ships entered the port of Stettin, and 838 Prussian ships, including in the latter number both the foreign and coasting ships. In Dantzic there were 136 British ships, and 589 Prus sian ships. In Pilau there were 93 British and 247 Prussian. In Russia the trade was practically alto gether in the hands of the British. Thus, in Cron stadt, in 1846, there were 123 Prussian ships engaged in coasting and foreign trade, and 657 British ships ; while at Riga there were 249 Russian and 603 British ships. The masters of Baltic ships underwent a search ing examination, and were highly qualified for their duties. The Committee then adjourned till one o'clock on Thursday, (this day.) ,)., < NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, MARCH 23.—A Court of Inquiry, or dered by the Admiralty to investigate the conduct of Captain Hamond while in command of the Salamander steam-sloop, terminated its labours this day at noon. The result is, of course, not publicly known. The Dragon steam-frigate, Captain Ramsay, and the Avenger steam-frigate, Commander Potbury, arrived this Morning from Cork, to load with seed barley for Ireland. Arrangements are being made for the formation of the dockyard volunteers into companies for drill and exer cise during the summer. The Duck navy lighter, arrived this afternoon from Devonport with stores. The Talbot, 26, Captain Sir T. Thompson, Bart., has discharged her freight, and is preparing to be paid off all standing, being required for the "relief service."

PROFESSIONAL ATTENDANCE IN TKE NEW COUNTY CGURTS.—There appears to exist some misunderstand ing as to the attendance of professional men in the new county courts. They complain that the fees allowed to be charged are too insignificant for them to appear in a cause. The fees allowed are certainly of a very limited character, and it will become a question for future con sideration whether, a graduated scale would not have been more expedient, in order to induce respectable men to practise in courts whose jurisdiction extends to 20L Persons who are sued for 181. and 201. will re quire assistance to get up their defences, and some one to address a jury on their behalf. By the 91st section of the County Courts Act, it is provided that no person shall be entitled to appear for any other party in any proceeding in any of the said courts unless he be an at torney of one of her Majesty's superior courts of record, or a barrister-at-law instructed by such attorney on be half of the party or by leave of the judge, or any other person allowed by the judge to appear instead of such party, but no barrister, attorney, or other person, except by leave of the judge, shall be entitled to be heard to argue any question as counsel for any other person in any proceeding in any court holden under this Act, and no person not being an attorney admitted to one of her Majesty's superior courts of record shall be entitled to have or recover any sum of money , for appearing or act ing on behalf of any other person in the said court, and no attorney shall be entitled to have or recover therefor any sum of money unless the debt or damage claimed shall be more than 405., or to have or recover more than 10i. for his fees and costs unless the debt or damage claimed shall be more than SL, or more than 15s. in any case within the summary jurisdiction given by this Act, and in no case shall any fee exceeding 1L 3s. 6d. be allowed for employing a barrister as counsel in the cause, and the expense of employing a barrister or an attorney either by plaintiff or defendant shall not be allowed on taxation of costs in the case of a plaintiff where less than 5L is recovered, or in the case of a defendant where less than 51. is claimed, or in any ease unless by order of the judge. Each judge has exclusive jurisdiction in his court to allow an advocate or not, and to make an allow ance for assistance rendered, as also to admit or exclude a class of men called " agents," who practise as attorneys without the necessary qualification. FOREIGN POTATOES.—The latest arrivals of po tatoes from various foreign countries have included the followingi—The Ma7net, from Harlingen, brought 13 baskets; the Sarnia, from Jersey, 20 tons' weight; the Eclipse, from Madeira, four barrels; the Countess of Lonsdale, from Hamburgh, 4 barrels; the Flora, from Leghorn, 3 casks; the Favourite, from Cadiz, 12i tons weight; the City of London, from Rotterdam, 20 bas kets; the Hama, from Malaga, 25 mats; the City of Rotterdam, from Harlingen, 40 baskets and 29 bags; the Saruh Sands, from New York, 90 barrels; the Eight Sons, from Halifax, Nova Scotia, 5 bags; the Jacobus Begeman, from Harlingen 35 tons weight; and the Olympe, from Bordeaux, 350 bags of the article, the produce of France. This list comprises the arrivals during the past week at the ports of London and Liver pool, and presents many features of interest, not so much on account of its extent, as for the variety of places from which the supplies took place, in some instances for the first time, including some from Holland, Jersey, Madeira, Hamburg, Italy, Cadiz, Malaga, the United Stites, Nova Scotia, and France. These supplies, the produce of different foreign countries, vary as to their degrees of quality and adaptation for seed purposes, but it is understood that all of them, to a greater or lesser extent, are of very fair, and in many cases excellent quality. The principal shops in Covent-garden and other of the large markets of the metropolis, having the name of the producing country appended to the dif ferent parcels exposed for show, present a very remark • able appearance, and one which until lately was not the COAL A WORKHOUSE CENTENARIAN.—Died, on Tuesday, March 16th, at the Cheltenham Union Vorkhouse, Mrs. Sarah Bradatock, aged 105 years and nine months, and for upwards of forty-seven years an inmate of the estab lishment. In chronicling this event we cannot confine ourselves to a mere record of the fact that the " oldest inhabitant " has thus passed away from amongst us, but as her death was attended with circutnstances alike honourable to all parties, we make no apology for intro ducing them to the notice of our readers. Mrs. Brad stock has been well known to the visitors of the Chel tenham Workhouse for many years past, her amiability of disposition and good conduct having procured for her the respect of all who knew her history. She was a woman of great activity and industry, of cheerful and unrepinieg disposition, and, it is believed, of sincere piety. She was, up to nearly the time of her death, always the first in chapel for morning prayers, and although retir ing early to rest, she never did so until after evening prayers were concluded. She was married in early life, and had one daughter. Her faculties were good almost to the last, and her death did not arise from any particular disease, but from a gradual and imperceptible decay of naturo: 11, , r end was peace. The funeral, which took place on Saturday, was attended by a large number of persons. It had been decided that she should not be buried in " the poor ground," but a spot in the new burial ground was selected for her, the churchwardens kindly foregoing the fees on the occasion. Through the exertions of Mr. Belcher, and Mr. and Mrs. Porter, the master and matron of the union, the ceremony of inter ment was very respectfully conducted. The body was neatly clad in grave's clothes, and strewn with herbs and flowers. The coffin was covered with a handsome pall, and Mr. and Mrs. Po: ter (in deep mourning), Mr. J. N. Belcher, and Mr. C. Wilson (two mem bers of the board of guardians), and a number of the inmates of the house, accompanied the remains to its last resting place. To mark his respect for the de ceased, as well as to commemorate the circumstance of her t. great age, Mr. Belcher has commenced a subscrip iiton for the erection of a headstone over the grave, and is understood that the Rev. F. Close, the menu:bent of the parish, will forego t,, the customary fees for its erec tion.—ch e i tenham EFFECTS oP ItAir m A ie r e li r.

K. BRUCE.) CUTTS V. )DELL.—GREAT LEEDS AND LONDON DIRECT RAILWAY. The bill in this case was filed by Mr. John Cutts, of Bardfield, nett. - Braintree, in Essex, one of the pro visional commit We, against Mr. John Reginald Riddell, Mr. Yrederick Polhill, and others of the provisional committee of the above-mentioned company, and Mr. Charles Banker. agent for advertisements, and a creditor of the company, praying an injunction against the pro secution of ant, 'ell" at law. The papers are extremely voluminous, but the facts appear to be these :—ln Sep tember, 1845, the . railway was projected, and a Parlia mentary contract a.nd subscribers' agreement were pre pared, the capital pro,nosed to be raised being 2,500,0001. in 100,000 shares of 2.6. r each, with an intended deposit of 21. 12s 6d. per share. The plaintiff applied for shares in the company, the deposit money upon which, accord ing to the arrangentenX hereafter referred to, would amount to 754 The sum received for deposits was only 29,640/. 13s.—a sum insufficient to pay the preliminary expenses of surveys, and to obtain the Act of Parliameut, and therefore a meeting of shareholders determined to abandon the scheme, and that it. 10s. per share should be returned to the deposjtors. A committee appointed for the purpose made agreements with several creditors who accepted less than their demands, and among them Mr. Barker, the advertising agent , w ho claimed 3,0431. 4s. 6d., but agreed to accept 2,7501. It was pro • posed also that those of the provisional committee men who had not paid the deposits on their shares should be called upon to pay 10i. per share. Mr. Barker's claim was adjusted by the commit tee for winding up the affairs, and on the 17tk of February, 1846. be signed a memorandum in the follow ing words:—" Memorandum, that in consideration of my claim upon the Great Leeds and London Direct Railway having been this day adjusted at the sum of 2,750!. in full satisfaction of all demands, and of the sum of 1,0004, part thereof, having this day been paid to me, I hereby authorise and empower the committee of management of the said committee of the said company to use my name in any action or actions they may think proper to insti tute against any member or members of the provisional committee for the recovery of the remaining 1,7501, or any part thereof, it being fully understood and agreed that the said balance of 1,750!. shall be paid to me within ' six calendar months from this date, and that I shall be fully indemnified from all costs and charges whatsoever which may be occasioned by the use of my name in any action or actions which may be instituted under this authority." Upon the signature of this paper Mr. Batty, the solicitor of the company, addressed a letter to Mr. Cutts, requiring him to pay 10s. per share on his allotted shares, as a provisional committeeman, amounting to 751; but that sum was not paid, and an action was brought against him, at the suit of Mr. Barker, in the Exchequer, to recover the balance of 1,750/., to which he plea ed, and the bill was filedcto restrain further pro ceedings. It appears that since the memorandum was signed Mr. Barker had been paid 1,000!., leaving the ultimate balance due to him only 750/. The ground set up by the bill was, that as the defendanU, the provisional committeemen, have still in their hands a large sum of money, not less than 33,0001., applicable to the payment of the debts of the company, they had no right to use the name of Barker by way of forcing from the plaintiff the amount which they claimed from him, he denying his liability to that individual. Mr. BACON and Mr. HEATRFIELD appeared to show cause against dissolving the common injunction which had been obtained, and insisted that the plaintiff, Mr. Cutts, was not liable to pay a sum due to Mr. Barker, or at all events, not so liable so long as the defendants, the provisional committeemen, had a sum of money in their hands applicable to the payment of the debts due from the company. For anything the Court could know from the record before it, Mr. Cutts did not owe a shilling, and the Court would not permit an action to go on, Barker's name being used as a mere pretext for screw ing out of the plaintiff a sum of money to pay which they already possesed ample means. The use of Mr. Barker's name was a mere pretext to get from Mr. Cutts the 103. per share which the defendants said he ought to contribute. The whole was an improper use of the name of one of the creditors of the company, and the in junction against the action ought to be continued. Mr. SWANSTON and Mr. MALINs, for the defendants, observed, that as many of the defendants had paid 21. 12s. 6d. deposit and only had back 11. 103., they had in fact contributed towards the expenses 11. 2s. fiti. per share, while all they required of the plaintiff, Mr. Cutts, was the payment of 751., being at the rate of 10,. per share only, and yet he refused to contribute that small proportion, but called upon his co-provisional committeemen to apply their own and others' money to pay a debt which justly ought to be paid by Mr. Cutts as well as them. His HONOUR said he understood, that although the action was brought ft .r a large sum, yet that all that was really sought to be recovered from Mr. Cutts was 751. Would the defendants be satisfied with that sum being brought into Court? Mr. SWANSTON said they would. Mr. MALnis said that has been all that has been re quired. The defendants have over and over again offered to indemnify Mr. Cutts against all liability on the action beyond the sum of 751. if he would only pay it. Mr. BACON assented to bring the 751. into Court on or before the 15th of April. The order was then made fur the money to be brought in, and that the injunction should be continued withuut prejudice to any question in the cause. Solicitors for the plaintiff—Messrs. Amory, Sewell, and Moores. Solicitor fur the defendants—Mr. W. Batty. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. IVORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Liverpool, March 22. The assizes commenced here this in.Rning, Mr. Baron Rolfe presiding in the civil, and Mr. Baron Alderson on the Crown side. In his charge to the grand jury, his Lordship said that notwithstanding the great distress which prevailed, he was happy to find that there was not so crest an increase of crime as might have been expected, nor were the crimes, except four or five, of great magnitude. There were 83 cases in the calendar, which, consider ing the recent winter assize, might be considered a large number, but for the prevailing distress. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON.) Hugh O'Neal, aged 53, was indicted for cutting and wounding George Townend, at Wardle, on the 29th of December last, with intent to do him grievous bodily harm. The prosecutor, a working man, was at a public house when the prisoner, who is a travelling tinker, went in. Some words ensued, and the prisoner who had a large soldering-iron in his hand, struck the prosecutor a heavy blow with it on the side of the face, near the left temple, which made a mark which he will retain till death ; but the surgeon, to a question from the judge, saying that the skin was not broken,l His LORDSHIP said there was an end of the charge of felony, and The jury thereupon found the prisoner Guilty of an assault only. HIS -.ORDSLIIP sentenced the prisoner to be impri soned, with hard labour, six calendar months. Thomas Fothergill, aged 30, was indicted for wound ing his wife, Maria, with intent to murder, and also with intent to do her grievous bodily harm, at Westhoughton, on the 13th of February last. It appeared that the prisoner, who is a miller, went home on the above day, when some words took place between him and his wife respecting some money she had taken from him while he was asleep. She had one of their children in her arms, which ho desired her to put down, saying he did not wish to hurt the child. She not complying, he took it from her, and laid it down on a sofa•chair. She took it up again, but he bid her lay it down again, which she did. He then threw her down on the hearth, and with the poker gave her two severe blows with it, each inflicting a wound on the head ; and a third blow she received on her hand by putting it up to defend her head. When he had thus done he went to a neighbour's, and asked her if she could find him anywhere to be out of the way of the police. He had killed Maria. Mr. Baron ALDER/ON told the jury the only question in the case was the intent wish which the. prisoner in flicted the blows. He thought the jury would hardly conclude that the prisoner intended to murder his wife, but he, in striking her on the head while lying hel?less on the hearth, must have intended to do her harm. His very care of the. child favoured that view of the case. The jury found the prisoner guilty on the count charg ,ng the intent to do grievous bodily harm only. Sentence deferred. Jane Baker, aged 26, was indicted for bigamy. It appeared th,t, in October, 1836, the prisoner was married to George Baker, who worked in a cotton-mill. She lived with him but a short time, but two years after wards they came together for a time, and then again parted, having had one child. In January last year the prisoner again married Henry Hyde, her former husband being then and still alive. She said she was not lawfully married to Baker, because she had married him in a wrong name, and that she had married him in a wrong name in order that she might leave him when she liked. Mr. Baron ALDERSON told the jury they had nothing to do with the question as to the name of the prisoner. The only question for them was, whether the prisoner was the person who was married to Baker, there being no doubt it was she who married Hyde. The jury having found her Guilty, His LORDSHIP told her that the law would not permit her to take advantage of her own fraud in marrying in a false name, had she indeed done so. As against her, at all events, the first marriage was valid. As, however, so much injury was not inflicted by the commission of this offence by a woman as by a wan, he should only sentence her to be imprisoned, and kept to hard labour, tor three calendar months. OXFORD ClRCUlT—Stafford, March 22. (11-fore Mr. Sergeant GAZELEE.) Mary Ann Scuffem, 25, was indicted fur the wilful murder of Eliza bcutfein, at Shenston, on thq 9th of No vember. Mr. Sergeant Allen, with Mr. Huddleston, conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Woolrych defended the prisoner. William Pennell said, I am governor of Lichfield workhouse. The prisoner had a child named Eliza, two years old, with whom she left the house on the morning of the 9th of November. She was in the family-way. She gave me notice the night before. On the 11th of November I saw the dead body of the child at the Anchor, at Cat's-hill. The child was in perfect health when she left. Samuel Curry—l saw the prisoner coming out of the turnpike-road to a rick in a field, near the towing-path of the canal. She took some straw from the rick, and put it by the side. She had a child. I asked her if she was going to drown the child, or herself ? She said, " No, God bless it ; she was too fe nd of She said told her that was not the roar' and to Walsall. I she came from Lichfield, and w: :isld she did not get up and'stable. Sh e th en go t u p an d e canal. The next d a y I h e ard weu went o along n I ngr would the sfiedtec of fetch t,h c , o of a child being drowD.efa in the canal. John Critch---;_tn the night of Monday, the 9th of No vember, I :r'ias going along by the side of the canal on the towing-path, when I saw a woman and child about a quarter of a mile from the Anchor Inn. She was sit ting down on her right heel, and had the child against her left leg, partly undressed. I asked her what she was doing, and she said the child had b e daub e d itself, and she was shifting it. Joseph Walker found the body of a dead female child in the canal, and took it to the Anchor Inn. The pri soner's father and mother lived about three miles from there. I have known her eight years, and she has been considered of weak intellect. Henry Woodroofe, house surgeon, examined the body of the child at the Anchor Inn; found it remarkably healthy. Death was caused by drowning. Had a con versation two years ago with the prisoner, which left an impression on his mind that she was a person of rather weak intellt ct. Mr. Woolrych having addressed the jury for the prisoner, and. Mr. Sergeant Allt.n replied, his Lordship having summed up, the jury returned a verdit o f N u t Guilty, on the ground of int:anity. She was removed. and ordered to be detained in cus tody during her Majesty's pleasure. Mr. Justice Maule sat in the Nisi Prius Court, and disposed of the case of Fleetwood v. Shipman, which was an action to recover damages for slanderous words. Da mages one farthing. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. A charwoman, named Louisa Wright, was charged with stealing a quantity of silver plate, belonging to Miss Williamson, of 139, Strand. The prosecutrix missed the plate, consisting of silver spoons, forks, &c., to the number of about forty-seven, from an iron chest in her bed room, on the Bth ut March instant, and, suspecting that they had been stolen by a discharged servant, with whom the prisoner was on in timate terms (being then also in the same service), she consulted the latter respecting the robbery, but without learning anything about it. It afterwards appeared that nearly the whole of the plate had been pledged, from time to time, by the prisoner, at the shop of Mr. Lux more, pawnbroker, St. Martin's-lane, under various pretences. _ The prisoner, in reply to the charge, said that the discharged servant, a girl named Wood, gave her the things to pledge, and received all the money and dupli cates upon the goods. Mr. JARDINE remanded her for further examination. Philip Hay, son of Major-General Hay, was brought up on a warrant from the Southwark Police Court, charged with refusing to pay a cab fare in February, 1846. The cabman had obtained the warrant on hear ing of the defendant's being in custody at the above court, and now applied for the fare and his expenses, amounting in all to 1L 3s. 4d. The Major-General promised to pay the money, and the parties stepped out of court to agree to some arrangement between themselves. WORSHIP-STREET. Thomas Brooks, who stood charged with the wilful murder of William Gobart, was placed at the bar before Mr. Arnold for final examination. The prisoner appeared to be greatly affected at the painful position in which he was placed, and was allowed to remain seated during the proceedings. Two or three additional witnesses were now exa mined, but their evidence amounted to little more than a confirmation of the facts that have already been de tailed. A young girl, named Mary Jarvis, deposed that dur ing the altercation between the parties, shortly before the fatal occurrence, the deceased applied the most scur rilous epithets to the prisoner, and also struck him one or two violent blows about the head. The prisoner then rapidly retreated into his Own house, and she heard the deceased remark, in answer to an observation from one of his companions, that if he had a knife about him he would stick the prisoner with it. Witness was so alarmed at his threats that she was hastening home when she heard the loud report of a gun, and on run ning into the passage MI over the body of the deceased- After some further evidence, of an unimportant cha racter, the Magistrate ordered the prisoner to be brought up again on Friday next for the formal completion of the depositions. SOUTHWARK. Mr. Philip Hay, the son of Major-General Hay, who was charged with obtaining goods under false pre tences from tradesmen in the district of this Court, and was liberated on bail, attended in compliance with the terms of his recognizance, to answer any charge which might be preferred against him. The accused was accompanied by his father, Major-General Hay. Mr. COTTINGHAM inquired whether there were any persons in attendance to make any charges against the accused ; that on the previous day he made him find sureties in consequence of a person named Brooker having stated that he not only obtained goods of various tradesmen under an assumed name, but had also plun dered his ready furnished apartments. He (the Magis trate) was therefore ready to hear any evidence which might be adduced against the accused, but that it parties were not in attendance, he should dischary him forthwith ; and if he was given into custody without just grounds by Brooker, he had his remedy against that person. Brooker stood forward and said, that he apprised Mr. Sparrow, the brushmaker of Stamford-street, from whom the prisoner obtained a quantity of bristles under the assumed name of Commodore Henry, and promised a large order of the same description of article for the use of the navy ; but although that individual promised to be present at the examination, he was not in attendance. Mr. COTTINGHAM — Is the person present from whom, it was alleged the preceding day, the accused had plan• tiered articles out of his ready furnished apartment ? Brooker said, that he also notified to that party the fact of his having given the accused into custody, but still he did not appear. The prisoner inveighed against Brooker, and again declared that that person's only motive in giving him into custody was for the purpose of extorting money from him. Mr. COTTINGHAM inquired how Brooker became ac quainted with the accused, and his reply was, that it was a most unfortunate acquaintance for him, that -he met him casually. After some further proceedingS Mr. CoTrlNGuam said, that there were no grounds for the accused's further detention, and that he was, there fore, discharged. The accused, however, was no sooner liberated than he was again taken into custody on a warrant granted from Bow-street, to which Court he was immediately taken. LAMBETH. Mr. John Glover, the owner and driver of one of the Peckham omnibuses, badge 1,047, and James Bagley, the driver of a Camberwell buss, badge 2,006, appeared to answer the charge of furious driving, on the morning of Sunday week. The cases were clearly established, and it appeared that Glover, in cutting in before, to imp e d e hi s oppo nent, run his near wheels in the kennel, and dashed the mud about so as to c?mplet . ely besmear a gentleman who was going to enjoy himselfin the country, but owing to the mishap was obliged to return to town. Mr. ELLIOTT convicted Glover in the penalty of 405., or fourteen days ; and Bagley 10s., or five days' impri sonment. THAMES. Charles Frinhish, a carpenter, about thirty years of age, was charged with the wilful murder of Samuel Salter, a porter, of Leadenhall Market. The prisoner is a tall and thin man, and appeared to be much affected at the situation in which he was placed. The first witness called was Hobert Salter, the de ceased's uncle, who stated that the prisoner was residing at 14, London-terrace, Commercial-road. He knew nothing of the circumstances which led to the death of his nephew, except what the prisoner told him. On Sunday morning last the prisoner called upon witness, and stated that he came home on Saturday morning, about one o'clock, and that he was informed by a police-constable that he had had a good deal of trouble with the deceased, who lived in the same house. An altercation took place between them, and the de ceased threatened to strike the prisoner, who said, " No, you will not," on which the deceased instantly struck him. A struggle and fierce contest then ensued be tween them, and they fought several rounds in the par lour, kitchen, and in the passage. They both went to their separate rooms, after they had done fighting, and retired to rest. Shortly after the prisoner went into the deceased's bed-room, and they foug ht a g ain for s ome time in the dark, and broke a table. The prisoner re turned to his own bed, and on the following morning when he got up he went to the deceased's bed-room, and asked him how he was. The deceased said, " Oh, Frank, you have done for me." He was then bleeding profusely, and the prisoner immediately called in Mr. Dale, a surgeon. The deceased was conveyed to the London Hospital, but he did not remain there long. In the afternoon the prisoner again took the deceased to the hospital. Mr. YARDLEY asked the witness if the statement made by the prisoner was a voluntary one. The witness said it was. He had stated the sub. stance of what the prisoner said. He had not heard of any previous quarrels between the prisoner and the de cersed. Police -constable II 96 stated that he to ok the p ris o n er into custody, and he then made the same statetnentas ho had done to the first witness. Mr. John Clementson Day, house surgeon to the Lon don Hospital, stated that the deceased was brought there at a late hour on S atur d a y night. He was covered with bruises, which appeared to have been recently inflicted. The upper part of the body was greatly discoloured. The deceased appeared to have been knocked about in a most shocking manner, as if from a cudgel, and the blows must have been very severe. The arms were blackened all over, and there were large patches of bruises. The deceased appeared to have been intoxi cated,. and was very much depressed. He was in a partially delirious state from the time of his admission until his death, which took place that morning. The prisoner asked the witnesses several questions, which elicited nothing material, and he then stated that he called on Mr. Dale, the surgeon, because he had at tended the deceased before, and that he was attacked with illness on Saturday morning which caused his death. The deceased had been afflicted with a si milar illness before, and he had witnesses to prove it. Mr. YARDLEY said this case must be further investi gated, and remanded the prisoner till Monday next. The prisoner applied to be admitted to bail, and it was refused. BANK RETURNS. (From the London Gazette.)
