leges as any other party of Christians. On these grounds he would support the second reading of the Bill.—(Cheers.) Mr. FINCH said that it was in consequence of the great veneration in which the Reformers held the Nicene Church, who originated persecution, that a system of persecution was continued in the Protestant Church. He was quite in favour of a fair system of toleration for all classes. They came then to what was called the rights and cere monies of the R oman C at h o li c Ch urc h, and here he perfectly agree d with what b ad b een sa id by the Right Hon. Gentl eman w h o h a d j us t sa t d o wn. He thought thatwhen an Hon. and L earno d Gentleman introduced a Bill tf this kind h e s h ou ld d o i t i n a more com plete shape than the present Bill p resen t e d. It was not consistent that the Hon. and Learned Gentleman shy uld consult only the wishes and prejudices of the Roman Catholics. They formed only a minority of her Majesty's subjects, while the Protes tants constituted an immense majority. It was well known that the Jesuits had proselytised great num bers of the Protestants around Stoneyhurst ; and with respect to the tendency of Jesuitical principles, he need only refer the House to an able criticism in Rauke's history by one of the ablest writers of that. country--he meant the Right Hon. Member for Edinburgh. Ile was quite convinced that if these monastic orders were allowed to exist without any restrictions he need not inform them that it would lead to the greatest inconvenience. He could on l y sa y for himself that he should be willing to tolerate every church in existence with the single exception of the Church of R ome. —(Laughter.) But, if the principle of the Hon. and Learned Member were to be conceded, they would have a something like free trade in religion. They had, at present, no religious liberty in Spain, in Austria, n Portugal, or in Rome, and he thought that they, iu England, could not fairly be charged with intolerance, until Borne set them the example of religicus liberty. Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN, in supporting the Bill said, although the penal statutes were considered obsolete, they produced an impression of the most unfavourable kind on the minds of those who were liable to be affected by them. He trusted that the Roman Catholics of England and Ireland would never rest satisfied until these objectionable laws were repealed. Mr. SPOONER said it had not been his intention to trouble the House, but after the personal remark which the Right Ifonourable the Paymaster of the Forces had made, L_' considered that he was justified in claiming the attention of th e H ouse. That Right Hon. Gentleman had completely misrepresented the words which he had made use of in the opinions which he held, and the arguments he had adduced, and he would take the liberty of reading from the reports which had taken place on the Committee to which the Right Hon. the Paymaster of the Forces had referred. He challenged the Right Hon. Gentlemen to prove the asser tion he had made, or substantiate the charge with which he had been stigmatised. He believed the present measure would be another inroad upon the constitution of the country. The Hon. Member for Limerick said that he would not rest till the Chancellor of Ireland and the Lord-Lieutenant of that ccuntry were eligible to be chosen from among the Roman Catholics. Only give up those points, and nothing would remain to prevent the annihilation of the monarchy and the Protestant succession to the Throne. He believed that it was the fearful spread of the Roman Cathelia religion which hau produced the present disastrous condition of, and called the judgment of Heaven down, upon this coun try.—(Cries of "Oh, oh.") Mr. MACAULAY said that if he had done'the smallest in justice to the Hon Member by anything he had said, he begged most fully to withdraw it, and to apoligise for the same, but his statement seemed to be fully borne out by the authority to which the Hon. Member had himself referred. The Hon. Member for Birmingham said, upon the occasion alluded to, that he would not divide the House upon the question, but contented himself with protesting against it. After a few words from Mr. SPOONER, and Mr. Macaursav again in reply. Mr. J. 0 CONNELL said that he would not enter into the controversial discussion set up by the Hon. ~:ember for Birmingham. It might be possible that a strong argument might be brought forward for the Catholics. He thought it better to proceed at once to the removal of pains and penal ties, which were admitted by all to be utterly powerless, and which tended only to aggravate the feelings of their Roman Catholic fellow-subjects. It was a stigma to the character of the House to debate for four or five hours the question whether those laws, which were admitted to be inoperative, and which were universally disregarded, should or should not be repealed and struck out of the statute book. Mr. NEWDEGATE thou,;ht that those persons who pro fessed the Roman Catholic religion were not at present suffer. leg from the operation of any penal statutes or disabilities. If such were the case, he would be one of the first to repeal them, for he hated persecution, and considered that a fair tolerance was due to all classes. He would, however, oppose a mea sure which proposed to remove all the bulwarks of the con stitution, and to re-erect nothing in their place. He opposed the present Bill mainly because it would go to set up alle giance to a foreign potentate in place of that which was due to the Sovereign of these realms. There was another por tion of the Bill for which he could see no reason. lie meant that which did away with the oaths at present taken by banisters of the Roman Catholic faith. This was a provision which did not exist in the Bill of last year, and one for which the Ham and Learned Gentleman who in troduced the Bill had not given any reason. With regard to the outcry about the hardship of the oath of supremacy, he could not see it. The oath at present merely declared that the Pope had no civil or temporal authority in this country, a declaration which he was sure there could be no objection whatever to. If, then, the declaration only maintained a constitutional truth, there was no necessity for the provision of the Bill before the House. With regard to processions, it had been admitted that they ought not to be allowed in the way in which they took place on the Continent, and that they would, if permitted, be the cause of much disturbance. He confessed he would much rather have the law as it at present stood in this country against such pro cessions, than trust to the Lynch law which the repre sentatives of the people resorted to on the other side of the Atlantic. Further, he thought the toleration of the Jesuits in the country would be most dangerous. They were the enemies of liberty everywhere, and so inimical had they proved themselves to the interests of nations, that in nearly every country in Europe they had, as a religious order, been suppressed. For these reasons he must oppose the second reading of the Bill. Lord GEORGE BENTINCK supported the second read ing of the Bill, because he had always opposed the disabili ties imposed on the Roman Catholics. If the laws that ex iered were obsolete, and of no practical application, then that w.s a sufficient reason for their repeal. But he did not think they were so, but that in their cperation they exercised still a serious injury over the professors of the Roman Catholic faith. Even so late as 1837 a law suit had been decided before Lord Langdale, which practically took away a large amount of property left to the professors of the Roman Catholic faith. So hard, indeed, was the case, that the Right Hon. Baronet, the late Prime Minister, interfered and had the griev ance in this particular case remedied. But there were many other hardships to which he could call the atten tion of the House. Was it not a hardship that Roman Catholics could not perform the rite of burial with their own clergymen, and according to their own formula ? He would also call their attention to the fact that when the limn. and Learned Member for Cork (Mr. O'Connell) was Lord Mayor of Dublin he had to put off his robes of office on entering the Roman Catholic church, because the law would not allow him, in his corporate capacity, to wear them within their precincts. Such was the state of the law, that Father Mathew, notwithstanding all the good he had done, might be banished, and if he returned he could be trans ported for life. These were a few of the hardships which were now proposed to be removed. Sir R. PEEL said that the Bill which stood for the second reading that night, contemplated the rescinding of several clauses in the Act of 1829, and it further proposed to abrogate laws which were now co, sidered obsolete, and so far as this latter part of • the measure went, it had his fullest approba tion. The first part of the Bill professed to supply certain omissions in former Acts. The Hon. and Learned Member asserted that there was at present an Act in force, notwithstanding the statistics of 1844 and 1846, enacting that if the Roman Catholic subject wilfully upheld the autho rity of a foreign Prince, hewould be subject to fine and impri sonment. The Hon. Member for Warwickshire said that malice would require to be proved; but he (Sir R. Peel) imagined that, in the eye of the law, advisedly upholding the ecclesiastical authority of the Pope would be considered malicious upholding of his authority. Now he (Sir Robert Peel) did not consider the principle a proper one which would subject the Roman Catholic in this case to tine and imprisonment.—(Hear, hear.) With regard to the other portion of the Bill, he must express his decided dissent. He must contend for the preservation of the conditions of the Act of 1829. The Hon. Gentleman said h e was not prepared to repeal th a t portion of the Act which refused to the Catholic prelate the name of any particular see. He said, also, that he was quite content that the Roman Catholic should not appear in public in the distinguishing dress of his particular order. He said that he conceded so much in accordance with the prejudices of the English Protestant subject. But surely this condition was based on the same compact, and should not be divided from the other condi tions. With regard to the religious orders, he thought that some relaxation might be made in this particular—he thought that the extreme punishment of banishment might be avoided ; but he was not prepared to repeal the enactment altogether. He was bound to say that while he was willing to rectify some clauses in the Bills of 1844 and 1846, he was not prepared to accede to that portion of the measure which had reference to the Act of 1829. lie would support the second reading, reserving to himself the right of dissenting from certain portions of the Bill in a future stage. After a few words from Mr. LAW, in which he stated that he would oppose the second reading. Lord ARUNDEL thanked the Hon. and Learned Member for the introduction of this measure, and the Right Hon. the Member for Edinburgh for his able support of it. Mr. GOULBURN would vote against the second reading. He would have no hesitation in assenting to a portion of the Bill, but he could not concede the propriety of passing the measure in its present shape. Mr. WATSON trusted that 'in Committee he should fully satisfy both the Right Hon. Baronet (Sir R. Peel) and the Right Hon. the Pay mas t er o f t h e F orces. Strangers were therm ordered to withdraw, and the House divided, when there appeared— For the original motion For the amendment 99 Majority in favour of the second reading,,, —3 TENANT RIGHT BILL. Mr. S. CRAWFORD postponed till to-morrow (this day) the introduction of his measure on the subject. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Six o'clock.

The Lord Chancellor sat iu his Court in the Old Hall, Lincoln's Inn to-day. THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH COMPANY V. NOTT AND GAMBLE. The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment to-day in this case, in which the arguments were concluded on Friday last. Our readers will recollect that the case came before his Lordship upon an appeal motion from the decision of the Vice-Chancellor of England, directing the plaintiffs, the Electric Telegraph Company, to bring an action to try the validity of their patents, and ordering a motion which they had made for an injunction to restrain the defendants from pirating their patents, to stand over until the action had been tried. His Lordship, in giving judgment, said that the great importance of the matter to the parties concerned, and the interesting nature of the invention to the public, had led him to pause before he pronounced his judgment. He had frequently hal occasion to express his opinion as to the course the Court ought to pursue in cases in which applica tions were made to its equitable jurisdiction, by way of in junction, where that injunction was in aid and protection of a legal right. Upon those occasions his Lordship had said that where the Court was applied to to protect a legal right, if there was a doubt as to the validity of that right, it be came the Court to be extremely cautious in administering its equitable jurisdiction; because if an injunction was improperly granted, more mischief would be effected than by delaying io grant it. It had been said that in stating this he bad carried the principles of the Court much further than they had ever Lien carried before. Looking to the autho rities, the contrary was the fact; and it would be found that he had not carried them so far as:Lord Eldon and other Chan cellors had done. The question with his Lordship was, were the rights of the plaintiff so free from all legal doubt as to justify him in interfering, by way of injunction, without the legal right being tried at law ? Looking at the facts that had been brought before him, and look ing also to the affidavits that had been made by various scientific persons, his Lordship was of opinion that the Vice Chancellor of England had come to a right judg ment in ordering the plaintiffs to bring an action at law to try the legal validity of their patent. His Lordship, there fore, ordered the judgment of the Court below to be affirmed with costs. THE HUNGERFORD MARKET COMPANY 17.TH1 CHIUNG-CROBO• BRIDGE COMPANY. This case came before his Lordship upon appeal from the decision of his Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England, directing a motion which the plaintiff had made for an in junction to stand over,and ordering them to bring an action at law upon a covenant in a lease granted of the Hungerford Market Company to the Charing-cross Bridge Company for certain property, forming part of the market, for the pur pose of approaches to their bridge. By the covenant in that lease the Hungerford Market Company contended they were entitled, at all times, to have free access and egress across the bridge for all steam-boat passengers to the float, which the Hungerford Market Company had erected in the River, at the east aide of the first tower of the bridge from the market. The Charing-cross Bridge Company de nied the indiscriminate right of ingress and egress claimed by the plaintiffs, contending that the Market Cc.npany were bound to show clearly to them, by the adoption of some course or other, that the persons who desired to cross the bridge were, in reality, steam-boat passengers. The market company asserted that it was impossible for them to adopt any such course, and under these circumstances the bridge company refused to allow parties to cross the bridge without the usual payment, and stopped up all access to the stairs below the bridge to the float erected by the plaintiffs. The adoption of this course being considered by the Hungerford Market Com pany to be utterly unwarrantable, and calculated to injure their receipts from s t eam -b oat propr i etors, they filed their Bill, and applied to his Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England. for an injunction to restrain the Charing cross Bridge from hindering persons from cross ing the bridge to the float. On the motion coming on before the Vice-Chancellor of England, his Honour, with out hearing the counsel for the Charing-cross Bridge Com pany, ordered the motion to stand over, and directed the Hungerford Market Company to bring an action upon the covenant in the lease, which they contended gave them, and all steam-boat passen gers , f ree i ngress and egree across the bridge to the float. From that order the present appeal was brought, by which it was sought to discharge that order and obtain an injunction to prevent any further obstruction across the bridge to steam-boat passengers by the bridge company. Mr. BETHEL!, with whom was Mr. Giffard, on behalf of the appellants, the Hungerford Market Company, after stat ing at some length the facts of the case, contended that his clients were entitled to the interference of the Court by way of injunction, to prevent the defendants, by their unwarrant able course of conduct, from injuring the property of the Market Company. The bringing of an action at law would be productive of vexatious delay and expense, which was the object of the Charing-cross Bridge Company, who had I already kept the plaintiffs for nearly tw o y ears ou t o f t h e i r just rights. The Learned Counsel also submitted, that even if his Lordship agreed with the Vice-Chancellor of England, that the matter ought to be tried at law, the proper course would be not to proceed by action, but by the sending of a case for the opinion of a court of law. The Learned Counsel here stared, that it had been his intention to have gone, at considerable further length into the affidavits, but since he had commenced his motion, an affidavit had been put into his hand, made that day by Mr. Lawrence, one of the officers of the Bridge Company, in which he stated that the Board, on Thursday the 11th of February, had come to a resolution, in the hopes that the Hungerford Market Company would adopt some course to identify all persons embarking on board the steam-boats, that the hoards should be removed, and free access given from the float across the bridge to the market, for persons disembarking from steam-boats, without the pay ment of tolls. The affidavit of Mr. Lawrence further stated, that the hoards would be removed immediately thatgatev had been erected. His Lordship would, therefore, see that the ques tion between them had been of late considerably curtailed. The question now was, whether the Hungerford Market Company were bound to identify persons going from the market to be steam-boat passengers. That would be the only issue to be tried. The Loan CUANCRLLOR suggested whether, that as both parties seemed to have come so near to an agreement with each other, it would not be better to let the motion stand over for a week, in order to see if some arrangement could not be come to. Mr. BETRZLL said he should be happy to adopt any sug gestion of the Court. Mr. BOLT considered the question now to be, whether the Bridge Company having agreed to give a right of passage to certain individuals, were bound to give the same right to the whole of the public; be thought the Bridge Company ought to adopt some course by which parties embarking on board steam boats could be identified. The LORD CHANCELLOR did not see how it was possible for the Market Company to do so. Mr. Rota' considered it easy enough by parties taking tickets for the steam boat before they went on the bridge. It was quiteimpossible for the Bridge Company to rail out a pas sage on one aide of the bridge of the extent of 6 feet, but they had repeatedly offered to make a passage on each side of the bridge of the width of 3 feet, one for passengers embarking, and the other fbr those who were disembarking. Re thought it would be extremely hard upon the Bridge Com pany if, as had been suggested before the Vice-Chan cellor, they were to put back their toll-gates one third of the bridge, especially when it was recollected that the bridge company had paid to the market company no less a sam than 6,000/. for the right to place the toll-ban where they now were. The Lours Citasciu.on said that the matter was now re duced to a very small compass, and such being the case, he would ask whether it would nut be better for all parties that the matter should stand over for a few days, to see if same arrangement could not be come to, instead of calling upon the Court for an adverse judgment. After some further discussion, the motion was ordered to stand over to Wednesday next. PETITIONS ON PRIVATE BILLS. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—FEB. 24. (Room 22, before Mr. Examiner SMITH.) UNOPPOSED LIST.

VANDERSTEGGEN. Hie Hormuz gave judgment xn this case to-day, bu' strangers were not admitted. ROLLS' COURT, Feb. 24. LANDON •, PARR. This was a motion on the part of the defendants in the suit to stay all further proceedings. It appeared that Eli zabeth Landon was a married woman, and the mother of the other plaintiff. By a deed dated 1810, some property was settled in trust for the wife, husband, and children of the plaintiff. The defendant Parr was the derivative heir of one of the trustees to the settlement. In 1846 a mortgage was made to Mr. Gedye, the solicitor of the plaintiffs, whose cook, Ilarriet Waller, had, at his suggestion, consented to become the next friend of the plaintiffs, who resided abroad, and were without the jurisdiction of the court, and Bled a bill. His Loanarasr• said he had refused similar applications, but these were cases where bona tide parties had con sented to assume the position of the plaintiffs and bear their liabilities. There was no such case here, and he woul4 grant the order. ASSIZEINtELLIGENCE. NouTHERN ClRGU lT.—Carlisle, Feb. 22. The assizes for the county of Cumberland commenced here this morning. Thei!. Lordships sat at ten o'clock. Mr. Baron Alderson presided in the Crown Court, and Mr. Baron Rolfe on the Civil side. There are nine causes enter( d for trial. The calendar contains the names of twenty prisoners. Of these one stands charged with murder, four with bur glary, one with forgery, and one with cutting and wounding. The other offences in the calendar are cases of petty theft. (Before Mr. Baron 4.1-DICKSON.) His Lordship during the day disposed of a larg e num b er of the min or cas e s , which presented no point of publi c in terest. Francis Wardrop was indicted for stabbing James Wright, at Longtown, with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm. Mr. Fawcett conducted the prosecution; Mr. James ap peared fur the defence. _ _ THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 25, 1847 with such an instrument on the breast, in the side, and near the spine. Mr. JAMES addressed the jury for the defence, and stated he would call witnesses to show that the fork in question was used by the prisoner for the purpose of fastening his door. He urged that, being suddenly called from his house by the alarm of his nephew's danger, he had hastily w i t hd rawn this instrument from the latch, and ran to the place where the affray was taking place, when he had joined in the con test without recollecting what he had in his hand. Verdict—Guilty of a common assault. To be imprisoned one week. Elizabeth llPBurnie was indictedfor having broken into the dwelling house of Francis Lawry, at Maryport, and stolen therein 30 sovereigns and one dl. note. Mr. Gregg and Mr. James for the prosecution; Mr. Ram shay for the defence. According to the case for the prosecution, the prisoner and the prosecutor both resided in King-street, in the town of Maryport, within three doors of each other. Mr. Lawry was the master of a vessel called the Ben Brace, a collier, plying from Maryport to Belfast. The prisoner's husband was a sailor on board that vessel, and she herself was frequently in Mr. Lawry's house, and had opportunities of being well ac quainted with the localities. In the course of Novem! , er last she was in the kitchen at Mr. Lawry's when he handed Mrs. Lawry the money in question belonging to the ship, and she heard Mrs. Lawry direct her daughter (by a former husband, and who resided with them) to take it up stairs and put it in the drawers in her room. In January last Mr. Lawry and his wife both sailed in the Ben Brace on a voyage to Belfast, leaving the house in charge of Miss Mounsey, the only other inmate being a young child about six years of age. On Sun day, the 17th of January, Miss Mounsey went to church at the usual hour. Before going, she went up to the drawer where she bad put the money, for the purpose of getting her prayer-book. She lifted up a glove box in which the money was deposited, and by its weight was aware that the money was then in it. In the same drawer was a savings' bank box, containing some money, and that also was safe. On her return from church all seemed to be as she had left it, and she retired to bed about nine o'clock. The following day she had occasion again to go to the drawer for the purpose of getting some of the savings' bank money, and, on applying the key, she found the lock had been forced off and was lying in the drawer. The lid was off the glove box, and the money gone. She immediately ran into the prisoner's house, crying out that she was robbed, on which the prisoner immediately said, "Oh, is it the ship money?" The prisoner returned with Miss Mounsey to the house, and, by her request, went for a policeman. On his coming, some discussion took place among the women who by this time had assembled, at the house, on which the prisoner took the policeman aside, and told him that he bad better look after some sus picious characters at Mooney's, a house in the neigh bourhood, where trampers were in the habit of lodging. She assigned, however, no reason for her suspicion. The next day she called on Miss Mounsey, and told her she had not been able to sleep all night. On the evening of Wednesday, about six o'clock, Miss Mounsey's aunt called upon her and remained with her till half-past seven, in company with Miss Snowden, an acquaintance. While they were sitting together they heard the latch of the back door lifted, but no one came in, and after some delay, caused by their feeling some alarm, Miss Mounsey and Miss Snowden went to the door. There was no one there, but on looking out into the yard they saw a small bundle lying near the door, and on exa miting it they found, wrapped up in some rags and a piece of cheroots leather, twenty-fire • sovereigns and the missing note. While they were looking over the money a person of the name of Waddington came in and remained a few minutes, and while she was leaving the house a person of the name of Benn came in, the bearer of a message from the prisoner, to inquire if it was true that the money was found, there having, as it was alleged, been in the interval no means by which she could legitimately become possessed of the knowledge. The further evidence against the prisoner went to show that she bad been seen, just about the hour when the money was found, walking backwards and forwards, opposite the pas sage leading to Mr. Lawry's back door; that she had entered the yard, remained there but a few seconds, not sufficient to enable her to enter the house, and then hastily went away. The person, howeveS, who deposed to this fact, stated, that the prisoner had on a light-coloured gown, but it appeared from other testimony that the gown she had on that evening was of a dark colou r . Mr. RAM3IIAY addressed the jury for the defence, and called witnesses to show that the fact of the money having been found had transpired, and was known to several parties, before the time when the prisoner sent the message by Benn. One of these, a person by the name of Hodgson, had in formed her of it, having heard it from some of the persons who had been in Mr, Lawry's house. The pi isoner was Acquitted. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. James W. Goalborn, the sexton of St. George, Bloomsbury, was charged with having been found in the parish church at half-past eleven o'clock at night, under somewhat suspicious circumstances. The Hon. and Rev. H. Montagu Villiers, the rector, attended to prefer the complaint, and stated that his at tention was called to the church between eleven and twelve the preceding night (Monday) by a parishioner named Doubleday, who, perceiving a light in the church, and knowing that a collection for the Irish poor had been made on the previous Sunday, entertained a sus. picion that some one was perpetrating sacrilege. They proceeded together to the church, calling aloud to any person who ;might be therein to come forward and deliver himself up at once to the police, who were in attend ance. No response was heard, but presently they dis covered the sexton emerging from the aisle in his shirt sleeves. As the door on that side of the church was found open, they proceeded at once to examine the com munion plate, which appeared all s e f e . Th e pr i soner was then asked to explain himself, when he told two stories; the one being, that he had left his coat there, and had merely come to fetch it ; and the other, that he was anxious to see that all was safe before retiring to rest. At all events, whatever the sexton's intentions were, it did not appear that anything had been re moved. It was mentioned, in extenuation of his offence, that he was rather intoxicated ; and as he was a new comer, having been highly recommended to his present employ ment, the Hon. and Rev. Gentleman expressed no desire to visit him with further punishment than his dismissal from office. Mr. JARDINE told him that the case was very suspi cious, and hoped he would profit by the leniency now shown towards him. WORSHIP-STREET. _ _ Sergeant Dubois, 14 N, begged to oppose, altogether, bail which, he understood, would that day be offered for a per son named Edward Herring, who had caused the death of a child named Thomas Adey Newby, seven years of age, the son of a surgeon, residing in Gloucester -street, Hoxton. In answer to a question put by the worthy magistrate, Mr. Baousirrox, the sergeant said, Tuesd a y even i ng h e atten d e d anin Hospital, qtiisitioil up held onth before M. ebodyofthre poor child, at St. Bartho lomew's Payne, the City Coron er , when evidence was adduced as follows:—It a pp eare d t h at tO ir.ll come out e"in of a gwa3poubbsleicr-vhsdous, in comp any o f two other persons, e, at the corner of New Glouces ter-street, at about six o'clock on Blonday evening last, and enter a chaise-cart, which had been waiting for him. He had been drinking freely, and had no sooner bid his compa nions good-bye, than he whipped his horse into the top of his speed. He was followed by upwards of twenty persons, who were apprehensive of danger, and unfortunately he had not proceeded many yards ere the deceased child was observed lying in the road, the wheel of the chaise having passed over its head. The driver was observed to turn round, but seeing the mischief he had been the instigator of, he redoubled his application of the whip to th e horse, a high spirited animal , which now proceeded w i t h increased and fearful speed, and his driver in consequence effected his escape. He (Sergeant Dubois) , however, subsequen t l y succeeded in tracing and captur in g him at the residence o f hi s f ather who is the proprietor of the ") , Menagerie" in th e N ew Road, known as Herring's Menagerie. The d eceased child, on s i u t r W e al o n above, to conveyed by it s pa n, Nderie ears. gy to St. Barth o l omew ' s being raised from the ground , was bleeding f rom t h e nose, mouth, e t n Hospital, where it expired on the foll ow i ng morning (Tues day), and where a j ur y , which has been alread y stated, r e sat upon the body the same evening, and it was their una nimous opinion that a more flagrant case of the kind had not before been brought to their notice ; and they, as well a s the Coroner, thought it was one, in w hi c h bail, however great the amount offered should not by any means be accepted of, and he (Sergeant ) llubo . isw as commissioned by both coroner and jury to state this respect fully to the magistrate to be their decided opinion. The age of Herring is twenty-eight years. Mr. Bnottairroar said he should certainly pay attention to what had been stated, and advised the Sergeant to be in at tendance to oppose the bail. SOUTHWARK. A woman of the Own, charged with refusing to leave a coffee-shop, and afterwards insisting on being taken to the station.h,mse and locked up, when placed at the bar before Mr. Cottingham, said the policeman 83 M had not told the truth. She went on to say that the reason of her having been placed in the situation she then appeared in, was in consequence of not being inia condition to treat the policeman with some liquor. Mr. COTTINGIIAM inquired if there was any truth in the assertion? Policeman 83 M—Not a word. I never drank with the woman; in fact I never saw her before in my life till last night. The defendant said that what she asserted was perfectly true; that she had often treated policeman 83 M, and other policemen of the same division, to liquor, to keep them in good humour, so that they should not interfere with her when walking on their beats. Mr. COTTINCUAM (with surprise)—ls there any per son here to confirm that which you have just asserted? If you have witnesses I shall hear them. Defendant—l have no one here certainly, but I can vouch for the truth of every word I have said. There are plenty of other women situate as I am, who know the policemen are in the habit of being treated to liquor by such persons as we are; and that if we don't give them liquor they mark us, and for the most frivolous act in the street will drag us off to the station-house, and there what they say is a law, for there is no use in contra dicting them. We have no voice there. Mr. COTTINGUAM said, that if the defendant's asser tions could be proved, that policemen suffered themselves to be treated to liquor by unfortunate women, who, on refusing it, were exposed to the policeman's revengeful feelings, he would take care that such scandalous con duct should soon be put a stop to. However, as the de fendant's mere assertions were not borne out by any evidence, he should at present not take any further no tice of this particular transaction; but, in case it could be hereafter proved before him, he would take especial care that they should be soon stripped of the authority they po ssesse d. S. - It appeared Iliaton the night when the occurrence took place, which resulted in this indictment, a nephew of the prisoner was at a late hour in the streets of Longtown, and a scuffle arose between him and the prosecutor. While the .- So unusually large C D affray was going on, some one ran to the prisoner's house, STOCK OFORN IN CRUM and told him of what was taking place. He was just about is the stock of corn at present in the Custom-house Stores in retiring to bed, having fastened up his house for the night. Dublin that no room exists for a further supply, nor can On hearing the alarm, however, he immediately came down there be any more warehoused there until a new loft- in one of the large stores, which is at prerent being erected, shall cutor was. He called out, "Where's Wrigh t stairs, and ran along the street to the spot w h he ? r , e , tahnedprose uPp have been completed.—Pilot. Wright answering, the prisoner said, " Are you a m an? tuni lm [Anvra - rismannT.3—The Registered Paletot of prepared fur you." Wright said he would have the withm Llama cloth, the most fashionable coat for both the present him; and, after some high words, both squared for r and approaching seasons, still retains the same moderate price, which, with its usefulness and gentlemanly appear pose of fighting. In the first round the prosecut_or e had i t,he advantage, and the prisoner was knocked down. 11 rose round b has secured such general popularity - . It has been made again, and the fight recommenced.
