London, Sec., &c. 1 he essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is Particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their Physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is eatitlett. It 18 absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are Principles of personal management which cannot be violated with , lit incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret sue eeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those penalties I narbe mitigated, how the sting Of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences maybe avoided, and, above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional d erangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

WESTERN CIRCUIT. —WINCHESTER, Dec. 10, • (Before Mr. Justice Fanny Harris was indicted for the wilful murder of her female child at Alverstoke, on July 17. Mr. Pou!den and Mr..Beetham were counsel for the prosecution, and Mr. Hooper, .at the request of the Court, defended the prisoner. ' The facts as proved on the part of the prosecution were these :—The prisoner was a fine young wo man, about 27 years of age. In 1855 she was in the service of Col. Evans, who resided at Forton Bar racks. In May last she went to Portsea, being then in the family way; she stated she was the wife of a Mr. Smith, who wasthenatAlde rs h e t. She became a cquainted with a Mi. Sheppard. They took lodg ingstogether at aMrs. Carpenter's, where they re : mained a few days, and then removed to the house of a Mrs. Snooks. On June 22 the prisoner was con fined of a female child. Up to that time she re ceived remittances of money, and appeared to have sufficient for her wants, and she had provided two suits of baby clothes. After her confinement she be haved kindly towards her infarit, and treated it with affection ; but her means became less, and she was obliged to pledge some of its clothes. On Thurs day, July 16, the child being then three weeks and three days old, the prisoner told Mrs. Snooks she should go to Poitsea to see her cous:n, who would perhaps give the child some clothes, and herselfbalf a movereid.n. Between 3 and 4 o'clock that after noon she borrowed two shawls of Mrs. Sheppard, and then left the house, taking her child with her. Between 4 and 5 o'clock that afternoon she called at Mrs. Carpenter's, where she had for merly lodged. She had not then any child with her. She asked Mrs. Carpenter to write to Smith, :her husband, and beg him to send her some money; as she was in great distress, and Mrs. Carpenter wrote the letter for her. Mrs. Carpenter then asked her how she had got over her confinement, and if the child was living. The prisoner said it was not,. for it was stillborn ; she then asked Mrs. Carpenter if she could again let her have her lodgings, and upon her replying in the affirmative she said she would come the next morning ; she then left. At 8 o'clock the next morning the prisoner came to Mre. Oar- - neuter's. She appeared much confused and disor dered, her clothes were saturated with water, and she said she had come across the water. She took breakfast, and then went to bed, where she remained till between 3 and 4 o'clock in the afternom. She then got up, and was silent and thoughtful. She said she was very nervo: - .s and did not like to be left alone. She said she should go and see her mother, who lived in the neighbourhood of Win chester, and she left Mrs. Carpenter's. The prisoner had left Mrs. Snooks, with her baby, on Thursday, the 16th July. On Friday, the 17th July, a little girl named Fanny Stephens was walking by; the ti to of the moat outside the town. of Portsmouth, when she saw something in the water. She gave an alarm, and it was found that what she had Aeen was the dead body of a child dressed. An inqUest was held, but there was no evidence offered except the mere finding of the child, an open verdh t Was returned, and the child was buried. The police then commenced making inquiries, and they (Jawed handbills to be printed giving a description of , the clothes which had been found upon t` e child. On • of these bills attracted the attentiOu ofMts. Snooks, who, with Mrs Sheppard, went and saw the clothes, and they swore that those were the clothes which were on the prisoner's child at the time the left Mrs. Snooks's house on the 15th July. The body was exhumed, but the face was so much decom posed that the features could *not be recognised.' An officer went in sear c h o f t h e p r i sone r ' and.found!hcr at. her mother's.

The Admiralty have ordered the officers at Sheer ness-yard to make an immediate return of the con dition and requirements of various *ships and ves sels now in the steam reserve at t tat port, and to give information of the time it would require to get them ready for immediate service. Thee() are now in Sheerne=s harbour 23 screw ships, with 823 guns, and of 7,280 horse-power ; paddlewheel steam vessels, six in number, with 51 gun's and of 2,380 horse-power ; 29 gunboats, : with 58 guns and of 1,660 horse :power, making a tot-4 of 58 steam vessels, with 932 guns and of 11,320 hore-power. The following letter, dated. Singapore, Oct. 19, gives a very satisfactory account of the voyage of 1-le steam troop-ship Imperador, Commander J. B. Atkins. The writer says : " She left Plymouth with 500 Royal Marine', a portion of the second battalion for service in China, under command of Lieut.-Col. Rocker, on the 10th of Aug., and a rr i ve d at S i ngapore on the 16th of Oct., making by many days tbequickest passage on record, being under sail - and kleana, exclusive of stoppages in Madeira a n d A scension, only 69 days and 20hours. This magnificent ship was built by Mr. J. Laird, of Birkenhead, for Vie South Ame rican and General Stelm Navigation Company. She burdens 1,700 tons, and has engines of 200 horse-power; her consumption of coal was 24 tons per day. Wi'h steam alone she made 9i knots per hour, and under steam and canvas 14 knots ; on one occasion, with screw dieconnected, she mad 13 knots. The screw makes 42 revolutions per minute. She can condense 800_ aillons of water daily. South of the Cape sl,lerticirrenced a severe gale, . with heavy squalls df rain and snow. The Provisions are excellent, andq hOtroops are in good health. 'Capt. Atkins and his officers have been most attentive throughout the voyage." The conduct of the marines is described as exemplary —they were on the point of starting for Hong Kong. The brig Persian, 12, from Sheerness, arrived at Plymouth yesterday (Thursday) morning. had been confined. The oihccr said to tho prisoner, " I want to see you about a child. You have been lodging at Portsmouth with'a person named Shep pard. When you left her on Thursday you had your child with you. Can I see ?" She said, '' No ; yin cannot." The officer then said, " A child answering the description of yours was found drowned in the moat at Gosport last Friday, and I shill take,you into custody on suspicion of being the person who placed it there ; you must go with me to Gosport." She said, "I never put it there; you will find it all right when you got to Gosport. I left the child with a poison who, I iwpe, will take care of it." The pri soner did not appear at the time to be frightened. Mr. Hooper, in addressing the jury, urged tli-ct the only facts against the prisoner wore that she ha i had a child, and that a child having on the clothes which had been those of the prisoner's:was found in the water, but upon such - facts alone they could not come to a just and satisfactory conclusion that the prisoner had put the child there. There Were three pints which ought to be proved—first, that the child was that of the prisoner ; secondly, that t was drowned ; and, thirdly, that_Prisoner - was the person who bad drownei it. He submitted that there was no evidence to prove that the ptisoner was the person who had drowned the child, and he pressed upon them that the prisoner might be tell ing the truth when she stated that she had placed the child with a person at Gosport, and that her seducer might have disposed of the child. Mr. Justice Willes then summed up. The jury retired fir sometime, and on their return gave a verdict of Guilty, five of them recommentling her to mercy. The Judge then passed upon the prisoner the awful sentercs of death. At the conclusion of the sentence st,e put out her hand as if to support her self by the rail of the dock. She was then led away. Frederick Deane, who was yesterday convicted of the man ,- laughter of Mrs. George, a patient of his by neglecting her in her confinement, was now put to the tar for sentence. Mr. Justice Wines then addressed him. He had been convicted of the manslaughter of Mrs. George, a woman he was attending as a patient. He appeared to have been ,a man in an h onour- able Profession—a profession no man was more disposed to hold in honour than himself, but by the verdict of the jury he had been convicted of gross neglect in the management of the case of that un- happy woman, by which she bad come to a most painful death. He should make no observations at all t 3 aggravate the feelings of a man who, after so many years' practice as he appeared to have had, holdiii respect by hii neighbours was brought by his act into a position so auserstble as that in which -- - he now stood. He must also remark that punish ment was inflicted by law, not so much for causing pain to the individual as to offer a warning to otherl, lest they should fall into an offence of the like des- tription, and it was a truism to say that the pro fession to which he belonged scarcely required, as it appeared by his unhappy case, such a lesson as his punishment must read. He did not, therefore, think it necessary to pass a sentence which should rank among the higher grades of punishment in flicts) I upon persons who took away the lives of others—that of penal servitude; but he must pass a sentence of long imprisonment, otherwise he should not mark the sense he entertained of the awful responsibility which a man incurred by his culpable neglect of a person in her most critical moment, who had confided her case to his skill and his care. The sentence of the Court was that he should be imprisoned in the common gaol for 18 months.

The following is the deposition of the Drum- Major Seraphim (escaped from Delhi), referred to yesterday in the letter of our Calcutta Correspon dent : "Antonio Seraphim, Drum-Major of the 72d Regiment, states—' lam a Christian of the Roman Catholic persuasion, One day in June last there was a disturbance in the lines of my regiment, and the sepoys went about shouting that European troops were coming against them. The colonel came down and quieted them. The same scene took place on the following day'; on the evening of the third day, at 9 o'clock, the whole of the troops at Neomuch mutinied. The officers of my regi ment went away in a body. Troopers were riding about in every direction, and shots were being fired. I and the other Christian drummers, bindboys, ettc., hid ourselves in our huts, hoping that the' sepoys would go away, and that we should then be able to. escape. They did not, and we were -dis covered by some sowars and sepoys the former wanted to kill u s , b u t t h e sepoys sa'd, No, it is better to take them with us.' About 1 o'clock that day they commenced their march towards Delhi, Sudaree Singh of the cavalry being their general. Wo and oar families were in the charge of the guard who escorted the treasure, &c. On the march we were not at first closely watched, but, when within aboutfour stages of Agra, Sheik Booiye of the Grcnidier Company, 72d Regiment, who bad been sent in as a spy, came back in camp and said that some letters had been sent from camp into Agra. The sepoys accused the Christians of having sent them, and the band havildar, who was a Mus sulmau, said he bad seen s ,, me of us writing. On this some of the sepoys wan t e d t o h ave us killed, but the others said, rWe will take them to Delhi and make them over to the King.' We were then' placed in olose cinafinernent. By this I mean that we were not, as previously had been the case, allowed to go into the fields without a guard, nor were our wives permitted to go into the blzaars for food. During the fight near Agra we were kept under a guard in the 'village of Patourie, about two miles in the rear of the battle-field. After the fight was over the sepoys were greatly enrbg d, cause they heard that the na•ivo Christians at Secundra and elsewhere bad been armed. Orders were issued to.guard us very strictly and to gave us no opportunity of escaping. The mutineers re mained for .some days at duttra, and then took us on to Delhi. They encamped outside the Delhi gate between the Queen's Hospital and the walls. They went out to fight the European troops, and we were left behind with the treasure, &c. ; but when the force was beaten back and the wounded men came in, a large house near the Kotwallee was converted into an hospital, and the married Chris. tians will their families were sent th re ; the un married remained outside in the camp. We were told that if one of us Attempted to escape all the others would be killed. I remained in the same house until the 14th inst., when we had no means of getting food ; sometimes it was given to us, and sometimes money ; our wives were allowed to go into the bazaar, and occasionally we were permitted to go with an escort into the regimental one. "On the 14th of this month, during the confu sion caused by the advance of the English force. the guard left the hospital where I was. I found an opportunity and fled ; the Delhi gate was the only one open, and, as the grass cutters were bringing ;n in fodder for the cavalry horses, I t through ; the sepoys were rushing about in all directions, but being in native clothing I was not recognised. I told the men confined with me that I intended to go to Agra ; they would not leaVe their families, so I came away alone. Near Fureedabad my clothes were taken from me by some Goojur villagers, but after that I was not molested. The dress I now wear was given to me in the fort. I was afraid to go to the English camp, as the sepoy pickets were betweetrme and it, and if they bad seen me going in that direction I should have been shot. " Had you no opportunity of escaping while on the line of march? Yes, during the first few days any one of us could have got away from the sepoys, but we were afraid of theßheels and other villagers, and we could not have taken our families with us. We thought that as we approached Agra the same opportunities would be given us, but, as I have said before, we were placed in confinement, and t closely watched to admit of any attempt at escape. " Between Neemuch and Agra were you joined by any body of mutineers, or by any people of in fluence I—A band of men, fair-faced, like Affghans, from Tonk, joined the camp, but I do not know of any other. "FrOm the conversation of the sepoys did you gather that they were in correspondence with people at Delhi or Agra, or that from the latter place they expected to get assistance either in men or supplies ? —No ; they never talked about their plans in my hearing ; they used to tell us about the different regiments at Delhi, and how they would kill all Feringhees, die. " Were no messengers or letters received from Agra or Delhi, or despatched thereto ?—About 10 days after leaving Neemuch some camel sowers were entertained ; they used to take and bring letters, hut to whom or from where I know not. The correspondence went from and was taken to the General's tent, which was a long way off the place we were kept. " Do you know about what quantity of ball am munition your regiment brought away from Nee much I—No ; each man took as much as he liked, the remainder was carried on camels. "Before the battle, near Agra, or after it, did they receive from Agra or elsewhere any supply of lead, powder, &c. I—They took from the Lrlwar Rajah's camp four guns, besides horses, camels, &c., but so far as I know no lead or other stores were received by them after the battle ; they had scarcely any ammunition left, and the artillerymen for this reason were most anxious to be off. "Did they endeavour to obtain a fresh supply from Agra or elsewhere I—When at Muttra they sent to Bhurtpore for guns and ammunition, buy did not get any, nor did they to my knowledge receive any from elsewhere. "Previous to the day of battle, or aftE , rwards, were they joined by any people from Agra ; and, if so, did you recognise any of them to be of in fluence in this city ?—A great number of armed police, gaol guards, and priso ners j o i ne d t h em on the day o battle and at Muttra. At the latt r place I Fave Wuzeer Khan, native doctor, and a number of Mussulmans whom I knew to have been in service at Agra ; at Jeith I saw Meer Khyrat Ali, and heard that he was going to Bullubghur. "Did you - never) at any time hear the sepoys mention the narne3 of any natives of influence in this city as friendly to them and furnishing them with information or supplies of any description, --I mean such mertas Bish:trut Ali, Mohb en, depuly collector, the Suddur-oollah, Re. ?—No, the Teh ildar of li'uttehpore was, I heard, made prlsoncr try tht.in, and I constantly saw men br , ught hi - to camp, but I do not know who they wore. "Do you know whether a large quantity of lead. sent from the city on the 4th of July, ever reached the rebel camp ?—No; I do not know. " When the camel men of whom you spoke, came into camp, did you never bear the sepoys say When they had come from, or what news they had brought ?--Wlien a camel man was seen coming there was always great excitement among the EePoYs, and they used to rush away to the General's tent ; but I never heard anything about the letters. "Who were the most conspicuous men in the rebel camp ?—Sudaree Singb, of the cavalry, was the general ; Ghous Mahomed, brigade-major ; Goolzar Khan was.colonel, and Nuttoo .Pdttrick, adjutant of my regiment. " Were you and the other Christians nvtde to perform any duty 7—On the march we generally had to play as usual, also on 'parade days. When the general passed the quarter guard we played the usual ruffle. Once in Delhi Wt 3 had to attend a parade, at which. an order was read out.

The bankrupt, in answer to questions by Mr. Young, advocate, deponed—l was present at th e meeting of the Board of Directers on the 29th of September, 1856. The following resolution was passed :—Resolved, that for the future no sum be advanced to any director of the bank without se curity of the same nature and extent as would be required from any constituent ; and that, should a director be indebted in the sum of 5,000/., no further loan or advance be made to him without the sanction of the weekly board." I remember that two bills of 4,0001. each were discounted on the 25th Nov. 1856, to Colonel Waugh by the bank, and the amount placed to Cu!. Waugh's credit. And on 30th December, same year, two bills of 10,000/. each, by Colonel Waugh were discounted, and the amount placed - to his credit in the same manner. At the dates when these four bills were so discounted, Colonel Waugh was indebted to the bank in a large amount, much exceeding 5,000/. These discounts were made without the sanction of the weekly board, but with the sanction of one of the directors. I re ceived a letter from Colonel Waugh, dated the sth of January, 1856, in which he writes :—"My derr Sir,—l understand more bills have bec'me due. I shall be at the bank by half-past eleven a.m. on Tuesday the Bth, and shall feel obliged by your having ready.either a,bill for my signature or a stamped receipt as before signed, th , Teby doing away with the necessity of so many bills. 1 had better sign sufficient to cover up till Feb. what may be Calling due till then." Did Col. Waugh come to the bank on the Bth ? I do not know. Had you bills ready for his signature, or borrowed notes I—l see from the book that he came to the bank on the% Bth, and signed promissory notes of that date for 30,0001., which was then discounted, and which bl.l was laid before the weekly board in the usual way. I wish to explain that a list of bills discounted and advances made were laid before the weekly board, as will be shown by the minutPs. When I look at the minute-book of the directors, 1 find it does not appear that the said promissory note, or any list of the discounts and advances made, were laid before the weekly board. Col. Waugh fled the country, to the best of my knowledge, in April last. He was then indebted to the bank to the amount of 243,0001., as shown in the accoun ant's statement. Did you still remain manager of the bank at the time Colonel Waugh absconded 7—Until the 11th April. I was manager of the bank from its insti tution. lam the owner of some heritable property in London, being a house and stable 17, St. James's-place. I bought the house and stable separately. I purchased the house in 1853, and it cost me, with some improvements I made in that year on it, 5,050/. I purchaFed the sable in Sept., 1854, at a price of 1,6071. 3s. 4d., making the total amount which I paid for both house and stable, 7,107/. 3s. 44. I was also proprietor of a house at Twickenam, called Gothic Lodge. I purchased the property on the 29th Nev., 1855. What was the total amount of capital you ex pended on that house prior to the 18th of July, 1856 7—l paid 1601. for a hot water apparatus . that was fitted up, and I also purchased in addition to some adjacent cottages, which I turned into offices ; and the sum total which I spent on the property prior to the 18th of July, 1856, was 3,1861. 12s. 10d. At the time of the purchase the property was in very bad repair. On the 18th of December, 1856, I paid the builder's account for repairs and improve ment Fines I had Vie property the sum of 2,2361. 13s. I will furnish the account to the trustee. 1 had two or three acres of ground a , - tached belonging to this property. The total sum of this property at Twickenham cost me was 6,4231. 54. 10d. I was married on the 30th of September, 1856, to a daughter of Mr. Morris, who was chairman of the London and Eastern Bank. On the occasion of my marriage a marriage settlement was executed between myself, my wife, and my father-in-law, and certain marriage trustees were par ies. The substance of it was that I was to settle 16,0001., and my father-in-law 4,0001. on his wife, and that the trusts-s were to have the money. The annual income of the said 16,0001. was to be paid by the trustees to my wife during the mar riage, and the annu a l income of the 4 ,0001. was to be paid to me unless I became bankrupt, in which case it also was to go to my wife; on the death o f either the survivor was to get the inoome of the whole 20,000/. ; and on the death of the survivor, the whole 20,000 1 . was to go to the chiidren. On th e 27th September, 1856, I drew the a fr e o c m ountin bankthle2,onoaoml.,e of "Henry Morris and placed it to a depo s it others," the trustees. ' On the 29th of September I gave Mr. J. C. Morris a cheque on my account for 4,0001., which was paid the same day. I draw both the3o sum s , an d app li e d them in anticipati on of the marriage se ttl emen t, the terms of which h a d been arranged, a n d th ere by implement my part o f the money provisions in said settlement. I believe _ the trusteei got the deposit-receipt for the 12,0001. lam still possessed of the house and stable in St. James's-place. At th e d a t e o f my marri age my father-in-law, M r . J . C . Morris, was largely in debted to the bank. He was due 12,0001. upon a borrowed not, dated 24th April, 1856 ; and he was also due about 2,0001. in his current receipt with the bank. The Court then adjourned till Thursday at one o'clock. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. M.— The and county were U t l h T is .— to L w i n NooLN, Dec. 10. opened yesterday bef ore Mr. G. Boden, barrister at-law, orate of the commissioners of assize and gaol delivery for the present Winter Circuit, who after wards a.tended Divine service in the Cathedral, Mr. Justice Crompton having been detained at Not tingham. In the city gaol there is only one prisoner for trial, charged wi.h child murder. The county calendar contains the names of 13 prisoners, charged with the following offences : Child murder, 1 ; attempt to drown, 1 ; rape, 2 ; unnatural 1 ; felonious wounding, 3 ; arson, ; night-poaching, 4 ; house breaking, 2 ; possession of and u tt er i ng counter f e i t coin, 4 ; highway robbery, 4 ; embezzlement, 1 ; At 9 o'clock this morning 2 ; burglary , offe n ce, 2 fowl stt wing 3 ; larceny, 1. Mr. Justice Crompton proceeded to charge the grand j ury of the city, and immediately afterwards tried the following case :-- CHARGE OF mu nnan. At the city winter assizes this morning, Mansfield Woolfit, 46, wife of Thomas Woolfit, cork cutter, was indicted for the wilful murder of Mary Wool fit, on the 16th August last. In a second count she was charged upon the coroner's inquest with a like offence. Mr. Flowers was for the prose cu ti on ; an d M r. Stevens defended the prisoner. From the evidence it appe tied th a t Eli za M e lt on was ca lled on the day iu gnosti c , b y the prisoner to go into her house , for the p r i soner sa i d, " I have nearly cut my dear child's head o ff . " Mrs. Melton went into the hous e, with a person named Sin gleton, and found the child, with it s h ea d near ly severed from its body lying upon a piece of ma tti ng with a knife lyin— g beside it. The p r i s oner was kneeling over th e c hild , and ex claiming " My d ear child." The father of the deceased came in, and said to the prisoner, " Good God, what have yo u do ne l" to which she made no reply. Shortly afterwards the prisoner was taken away by police constablo Clay. MP. Melton thought, by the conversation of the prisoner, a' variou4 time?, that, she was not of sound mind. She thought this long before she committed this ace. She had on more than ono occasion Expressed her belief that she should end her days in an asylum , and she had also told Mrs. Melton that she had some thoughts of drowning herself and her child, ' cc f or her troublt s were almost too much for her to bear." The prisoner had also frequently complained that her husband was not kind to her, and that he was in the habit of drinking. To the police officer the prisoner said that her husband's treatment had caused her to do it, for he was always comphiining about the children. On the way to the lock up, the policeman met her husband, and the bificer asked him to assist in taking her to the station house, but the prisoner refused to allow bim to touch her. On her way 13 h e said that "Jim (her husband) was the cause of this, but I have this consolation, that the child is gone to Heaven." Several- witnesses were called who spoke to the extraordinary behaviour of the prisoner since lv-r confinement last Christmas. Mr. • Septimus Low (surgeon), gave it as his pginion that at the time he saw her, which was soon after she committed the offence, the prisoner was' not in a sound state of mind. Mr. Stevens, for the prisoner, commented upon the evidence, particularly that cf the surgeon, who so strongly expressed his belief that the prisoner was insanf. The learned Judge summed up, laying down the law with reference to insane persons, explaining , the difference between a person labouring under in sanity and suffering from sudden impulse. After a consultation of a few minutes, the jury returned a verdict of not guilty, on the ground of insanity. NORTH WALES CIRCUIT.---.CHEsTER, DEc. 10. (Before Mr. Baron Channel].) • THE BRAMHALL MURDER. The following evidence was taken yesterday after the despatch of our parcel : Mr. Cooke, land agent to Colonel Davenport, deposed that in October, 1856, at the request of the prisoner, he met him at his father's farm. The deceased was absent in Scotland at the time, and the conversation was with respect to the prisoner and his brother managing the farm, because the prisoner alleged his father's eyesight was so bad. Mr. Thomas Smith, one of the firm of Messrs. Sanders and Smith, cornfactors, Manchester.—The prisoner was cashier to the firm. On the 30th of September last the prisoner called on witursq and he detailed a conversation which he had had with the prisoner on that occasion. In the course of the conversation the prisoner stated that the hou, , e had been broken into and robbed, and that his father had been shot. Witness then drove the prisoner down to the nearest police station, where the pri soner gave information of the robbery. Mr. Edward Jones, agent to the Crn'ral Loan Association, deposed that in May, 1854, the de ceased made an application for 1,0001., and-ob tained it, 9001. of which he paid off. Witness saw the deceased last in September. His mind was then as vigorous as it always appeared to have been. John Foote said he left the service of deceaQed ) the Saturday before ho was killed. Ho remem- E bered leaving a broken brace tehind him. This closed the case for the prosecution. Mr. Sergeant Parry then commenced his speech for the defence, which occupied 4 hours in delivery. He comment.d upon the principal points in the case, impressing upon the minds of the jury the fact that they were not called upon to say who had committed the murder, but whether the prisoner did it ; and he felt confident that though the whole case was enveloped in mystery, yet they would come to the conclusion that the prisoner had not been proved guilty of the deed. The court rose at eight o'clock. This morning Mr. Baron Channell took his seat in court at tea o'clock, and immediately commenced to sum up the evidence . produced during the two previous days. He said that the prisoner was charged with the R ilful murder of his father, and he thought the mention of that fact would le suffi cient to bespeak the patient attention cf the jury to the remarks which he was about to make. The evidence upon which the prosecution asked for a verdict was circumstantial ; it was not evidence de rived from personal observation ; and in cases of a similar description it was rare that a human eye witnessed the transac'ion, save he who commit:e I it, and sometimes the victim himself. The deceased in the present instance had been shot while asleep, and thus sent suddenly to his great account. Al though the evidence was circumstantial as contra distinguished from direct, yet the law allowed juries to act upon it, because the security of life and pro perty demanded that such cases as the present should be investigated, and if a chain of circum stances, clearly and distinctly depo , :ed to by wit nesses on their oath, could lead to no other con clusion than the guilt of the prisoner, then the jury must act upon it accordingly. His lordship then said he would not read the whole of the evi dence, but only such parts of it as he thought im portant in the matter. The lelrned Judge then proceeded to comment on .the stat,ment made by the prisoner on the day the murder was committed, and al.o upon the evidence which had been laid be fore the jury. His lordship was three hours sum ming up. The jury, after deliberating two hours, brought in a verdict of not guilty, which was received in court with loud applause, the prisoner waving his cap. NORTHERN CIRCIIIT.—LivERro)r„ DEC. 10. (Before Mr. Justice Wighttuati.) CHARGE OF FRAUD AGAINST A LIVERPOOL MERCHANT. John Doherty, who surrendered on bail, was placed in the dock, indicted for having, at Liver pool, on the 13th May, by certain fal,e pretencep, obtained from John Bingham and aim' her certain valuable securities, to wit, two bills of exchange, with intent to cheat and defraud the said John Bingham and ano•her. Aspinall conducted the prosecution ; and the prisoner was defended by Mr. Overend, Q. C. The counts of the indictment having been read over by the junior counsel for the prosecution, Mr. Aspinall, having stated the facts, proceeded to state what his (Mr. Aspinall's) position was with regard to the evidence, and how far he was in a position to prove what he stated. With regard to the transactions with the Borough Bask, he was not in a position to say that, on the part of the pro secution they had, as they should have expected, any hearty co-operation from the Borough Bank. He should be able b prove the letter:l, and, from the mouths of Messrs. Bingham, that the re presentations made were false. But he was not able to produce Mr. Smith. Therefore he could only prove the pretence and its falsehood, and that the bills of lading were after that received by Mr. Doherty from the. Borough Bank. It was only by Mr. Smith's authority that the bills of lading could be delivered up. He could not prove the cause which operated on the mind of Mr. Smith. His Lordship--Surely there is no difficulty in getting him. Mr. A. - spinall—We have left the subpoena in every direction, but cannot find him. The learned coun sel then called his lordship's attention to the case "Queen v. Danger"—a decision of the highest court of criminal appeal. The decree was to the fol lowing effect :—That although it is an offence be yond all doubt under the statute to obtain by means of false pretences any money, goods, or valuable securities from another person, yet it is nDt a false pretence to obtain from a person a bill of exchange which you present to him ; you must obtain from him security which is in bis own hands before hand, and which is his property. That was the state of the law ; but he confessed he had considered the matter, and had the greatest difficulty in seeing the distinction between this case and that. In the exa mination before the magistrate it was thought . that the bill had been handed back by Mr. Doherty and that it had been previously endorsed by the Borough Bank—and therefore it might be said to have obtained a valuable security on the property of•the Borough Bank. But the evidence was now that the bills were never delivered to him ; all he did was to induce the Messrs. Bingham to accept the blls. His lordship—They never wore in his hands at all. Mr. Aspinall—Never, after acceptance. He thought it was deplorable such a state of law shou:d exist in a commercial country. His lordship—This case seems rather a fortiori ; because it supposes the bill of exchange, after the acceptance is delivered to the person who delivers it. In his hands it was nothing ; because, if it was obtained by falee pretences he could not have enforced payment. In your case , it never goes into his hands at ail. If that is so, I don't :et! how you can maintain your ground. I understand the diffi culty under which you labour in the absence of Mr. Smith. . Mr. Aspinall--My lord, everything has beendone to procure the assistance of Mr. Smith. His lordship—Except serving hitn with a sub pceua. - Mr. Aspinall—He was loft almost to the last be cause it could not be supposed he would be diffi cult to serve at any time. The subpoena has berni left, both at his residence and at the bank. His lordship said the case could not bo proved without him. Unless they had Mr. Smith they could not prove the false pretence. That was the first difficulty. Mr. Aspinall—We can prove the fahe pretence, but we cannot prove it was the false pretence which induced Mr. Smith to part :with the bills of lading. His lordship —But this is the essence of the case —that any false pretence was made to him to in duce him to pass the bills of lading. If you can not produce Mr. Smith there is no evidence. With respect to•the rest, it is an a foltiori case. The opening has, therefore, occupied the time 9 the
