TERRIFIC STORM. THIRTEEN BUILDINGS DESTROYED. Yesterday, during the raging of the terrific storm which passed over the metropolis, between one and two o'clock, the electric fluid struck the roofing of the private dwelling in the occupation of Mr. T. Wiseman, situate le Brew.r's-lane, Greenwich, near to the Hospital, and close by ihe Waterman's Pier at the bottom of Church-street, and set tire to several ()tiler dwellings. From inquiries made upon the spot by our reporter as soon as it was possible to reach the scene of desolation from town, it appears that one of the neighbours, being alarmed by the vividness of the lightning and the extra ordinary peals of thunder which succeeded each flash, went to one of her windows for the purpose of throwing it open, when a stream of fire shot from the clouds, and at once illuminated the hemisphere, striking immediately over the roofing of the premises in Mr. Wiseman's oc cupation. For some few moments the female was so alarmed that she scarcely knew where she was, but in a short time she was awoke to consciousness by seing the roof of the building o n fire. As soon as possible she says she aroused her neighbours, and she describes the scene which followed in the adjoining courts as being of the most appalling character. Scores of poor people who inhabit this densely crowded thoroughfare jumped from their beds, and rushed from their dwellings almost in a state of nudity, and several narrow escapes from injury were experienced, the fire travelling with great rapidity from the tact that the cottages of the more humble were chiefly constructed of timber. The autho rities connected with the Hospital at Greenwich being informed of the calamity, ordered the engine belonging to that establishment to be got out without delay, and upon information being sent to the dockyard at Dept ford, the powerful floating engine moored off the yard was speedily manned and rowed to a most available posi tion opposite the fire. So great was the light caused by the conflagration that the policemen from Blackfriars' and Southwark bridges gave intelligence of a dis tant fire to the nearest brigade-stations, and Mr. Henderson, the foreman of the southern section of the brigade, the Farringdon-street engine, the West of England engine, and the engine from the County esta blishment in Regent's Quadrant, were very soon at the fire. The hose of the float being led from the Thames, and the land engines being well supplied from the water works of the Kent Company, vast bodies of water were soon poured upon the burning materials, but the fire, which had by this time necessarily obtained great hold, progressed fearfully from house to house, until it en circled an area of great extent, feeding upon much va luable property. From Mr. Wiseman's private dwelling . it. extended to- the extensive lofts and store-rooms of Messrs. W.and,R. Fluntly, mast, block, and sail-makers, in Brewer's-lane, thence to the warehouses belonging to the same firm, which were chiefly stored with salt and provisions, and to the private residence of one of the partners. Several cottages on the same side of the way then became ignited, while those on the opposite side in Coombe's-court caught fire. The excitement then became extreme. The poor people were compelled to stand by and see their little all of furniture and effects swallowed up by the devouring element, all their efforts to save it being cut off by the fury of the flames. And here the use of the police, under the superintendence of Mr. Mallalleu and his inspectors, was signally manifested in preventing the anxious sufferers from rushing into danger. The eff aas of the firemen were directed for some little time to removing some wood partitions, in order that they might, if possible, save the ancient water-side house, known by many of our readers who have visited Green wich by the sign of the Fubbs' Yacht ; but their exertions proved fruitless—the whole of the building and its contents are destroyed. At this period it was, apprehended that the entire cluster of buildings between the Fubbs' Yacht and the Watermen's Pier would fall' a prey to the fire; but happily, even when hope itself appeared to give way, signs of a diminution of flame became apparent. At this critical juncture much judgment was displayed by the directors of the firemen. —the water being copiously distributed from points com manding the seat of the fire, while other men were sta tioned with their branches so as to keep cool the reeking . walls of the adjacent buildings. By seven o'clock the fire was so far subdued that no further danger of its extension appeared, and by nine o'clock nothing remained but a smouldering mass of ruins. Some of the parties are insured, but to many of the poor, renting or lodging in the small tenements, the loss will be great indeed, their little all being taken from them by the calamity. Several leading officers from the Dockyard and Greenwich Hospital were pre sent, aiding the inh ibi ants and assisting the firemen in the discharge of their duty. Subjoinedeis the official report furnished this day to the several tire-offices by the Superintendent of the London Fire-engine Establishment:— " July 7, 1847.-1 ire upon the premises undermen tioned, situate severally in Brewer's-lane and Coombe's court, near the Hospital, Greenwich.

Happily no one was injured. ANOTHER FIRE CAUSED FLUID. BY THE ELECTRIC About a quarter past two yesterday morning the electric fluid struck the roof of the house and shop belonging to Mr. Thomas Whitelow, leather dresser, si, Paulin-street, Bermondsey. Information was furnished to the engine stations of the outbreak by police-constable 159 M. The parish engine was got to work, but the workshop and the front of the dwelling house was destroyed. Insured in the Phoenix office, the stock in the amount of 3201., and the building for 2001. The family narrowly escaped. SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO A POLIOE-CONSTABLE BY TUE LIGHTNING. —Yesterday morning, about half-past one, as police-constable 56 L was on duty in the New-cut, Lambeth, during the violent storm, he was struck with the electric fluid on the left side of his head, which felled him to the earth. lie was instantly picked up by 124 L, who was on duty on the opposite side of the road, and conveyed to the station-house in a state of insensi bility, when it was ascertained that the left side of his head and several parts of his body were much injured, so much so that he will not be able to return to his duty for several days. LAW INTELLIGENCE COURT OF CHAIVCERY, July 7. The Lord Chancellor sat in the old hall, Lincoln's Inn, to-day. to hear appeal,. BLAIR. V. BROMLEY. — JUDGMEN T. The LortaaCmArTeLdaboenf graevheinjiuctloginmeenttimtoe-dsanyicionutphoins case , which was a appeal from the decision o t t he Vice-chancellor Wigram. The bill was filed by William Thomas Blair End Thomas Blair, the executors of the will of the late Thomas Blair, who died in 1828, and the object of the suit was to make the defendant, Joseph Warner Bromley, person ally answerable for 4,5001, which were remitted by the plaintiffs in their capacity of executors, to the de fendant and his late partner, William Bromley, and re ceived by them for the purpose of being invested, but frau dulently misappropriated by William Bromley. The defendant and his brother entered in partnership as soli citors, in May, 1820, and continued in that relation, car rying on their business or profession in Gray's Inn, until December, 1834, and, during that period, they kept their joint banking account with Messrs. Rogers and Co. The late Thomas Blair, a gentleman of fortune, bad for several years before his death been in the habit of em ploying the firm of W. and J. W. Bromley for making investments, but William was the partner with whom he was on terms of intimacy, and who attended to his affairs ; and after the testator's death, his executors, who resided at Bath, continued in the same manner to employ the firm, but appear in general to have addressed themselves to Mr. W. Bromley. By his will the testator gave his wife a life interest in all his property, and after her death directed a distribution in certain proportions among a numerous family of children. His pro perty appeared to have consisted princ. pally of money lent on mortgage, on one of which a sum of 14,0001. was due by . the late Earl Grey, which however, was paid off in 1829, and the money was lodged in the Bank of England, to the separate ac count of W. T. Blair, who was the acting executor. Immediately upon the payment of this money, Mr. W. T. Blair wrote a letter, dated June 30, 1829, and ad dressed to Messrs. Bromley, but beginning with "My dear Sir," in the singular, and requesting that steps might be taken to invest the money upon freehold security. In pursuance of these instructions, it was arranged that 4,500 L, part of the 14,0001., should be lent to a Mr. Isaac Seabrook ; an abstract of that gentleman's title to the property which was to be the subject of the security, was laid before Mr. Bellenden Ker, the conveyancer, and a draught of the mortgage deed was prepared by that gentleman. Thesa papers were indorsed in the usual way, with the names of W. and J. W. Bromley. William Bromley then wrote to Mr. W. T. Blair for a cheque for the money, and the latter, in a letter dated " Ilfracombe, 29th September, 1829," sent a cheque, dated the Ist Oc tober, 1829, drawn on the Bank of England in favour of Mr. Seabrook or bearer for 4,5001., and crossed with the name of the bankers of Messrs. Bromley. On the 2d October the cheque was paid into Messrs. Rogers bank to the credit of the joint partnership account of the Bromleys, and was on the following day cashed- by the .Bank of England. Some difficulty, it appears, arose in the - completion of the mortgage, and eventually the ne gotiation went off, and the money was never advanced, bat no notice of this was given to Mr. Blair, or to aiiy other member of the family; on the contrary, they wre led to believe that the money had been invested. In a letter written to Mr. Blair, in April, 1830, among the several mortgages enumerated as be longing to the estate of the testator, the sum of 4,5001. was mentioned as advanced to Mr. Seabrook, and in terest was regularly paid upon it to Mrs. Blair, the testator's widow, until the time of her death. That event occurred in November, 1841, and the property then became divisible under the will. Mr. William Bromley, however, represented that there were difficulties in making the distribution, and advised theinstitution of a suit for the administration of the estate, which was accordingly done, but no money what ever was paid on account of the securities from the death of Mrs. Blair. The suit was manifestly advised by William Bromley for the purpose of staving off the necessity of his rendering an account, and it was so managed that it made no progress. In June, 1844, his affairs came to a crisis, and a fiat in bankruptcy was issued against him. Mr. Blair, on hearing this, hastened -to, bis.aolicitor's office to take possession of the securi ties; 'Seabrook's mortgage was not to be found, and it then came to light that Mr. W. Bromley had appro priated the 4,5001. for his own purposes. No imputa tion whatever or any participation in the criminality of his partner was made or desired to be made against the detendant; far from it; it was admitted that he was altogether ignorant of the fraud; and the plaintiffs, in taking the present proceedings against him, only sought, while admitting his moral innocence, to establish his legal responsibility, on the general principle that one partner is responsible for the acts of his co-partner. The Vice-Chancellor Wigram, upon the case coming before him, gave judgment decreeing that the defendant should pay the 4,5001 with interest, and the costs of the suit. The Lord Chancellor, after going at some length through the facts of the case, stated his opinion to be that the decision of the Vice-Chancellor Wigram was correct, and ordered it to be affirmed with costs. STATE OF TRADE. MascuEsTen, JULY 6.—There has been a fair de mand for goods to-day, and a tolerably large business would havo been done, if manufacturers would have accepted the prices current last week. Many, however, demanded a further advance, which the buyers were unwilling to give ; and the transactions -were, consequently, on a more limited scale than they would otherwise have been, and generally at last week's prices. The yarn market was not quite so active ; the spinners generally holding out fur prices which the buyers are unwilling to give, and very little business has been dune. We learn that, at a meeting of the spinners and ma nufacturers of Ashton-under-Lyne, held on Monday last, a resolution was adopted (unanimously, we be lie", with the exception of 'one firm) to the effect that it was desirable, at once, to rirluce the full time o f working t) ten hours per day provided the same course was generally resorted to by the trade in other lo nalities. We understand that a general meeting is to be held in this town on Tuesday nexr, to take the sub ject into consideration. Of course this diminution of time will involve a corresponding reduction of wages, or at least an offer of reduced wages on the part of the employers. Whether the offer will be acceded to by the w‘ , rkpeople iv, at pre,,ent, exceedingly doubtful.

From the evidence itepr pe,2-0,1 that the mother of the infant, who i s 38 yeti; of age , had lived servant at the Falstaff Inn, Gad's-hill, on the roes between Rochester and Gravesend; that she had recently left her place and come to lodge with her sister in Rochester in consequence of her approaching accouchment. On Friday morning she was found by Mr'. Brown, the wife of a mariner, and sister to the accused, on the side of the bed in a very weakly state. A nurse and a medical man (Dr. Ely) were called in, but she refused to lie down or move from the spot she occupied, and from the state in wnich she appeared Dr. Ely sent for Mr. Stephenson, surgeon, in order that tinder the alarming state in which she appeared he ,ea ight hav e s. , lne one to share the responsibility with h They at length succeeded in getting her to lie do and c.n searching about the nurse found the body of the infant wrapped in a coarse cloth, lying between the bed and blanket at the spot where she had been sitticg.

Nisi Priu3 Sittings at Guildhall, before the LORD CHIEF BARON and a Special Jury.) WILD V. BLACK. This was an action by Mr. Wyld, the mapseller at Charing-cross, to recover from the defendant, as one of the directors of the Birmingham and Warwick Exten sion Railway Company, a bill for 5501., the balance due tor engraving maps and plans of the projected line. Mr. Martin, with Messrs. Willey and Fitzpatrick, appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Hoggins for the de fondant. It was clearly proved that the defendant took an active part in the promotion of the proposed line, and It was not denied that the work was done, and the prices under all the circumstances reasonable. The defence wa,. that credit was given by the plaintiff to a Mr. Pritchard, the engineer of the company, and not to the company or its directors. It appeared that a large sum had been received fur deposits, all of which was ex pended, and that the project was abandoned, and a fiat in bankruptcy issued against the company. The orders for the work had been given to the plaintiff by Pritchard, but it appeared that the directors had paid the plaintiff two sums of 300/. each by cheques, bind that they had passed a resolution calling upon the engravers, and amongst others the plaintiff, to send the engraved plates which had been executed to the company's offices. After a short consultation, the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 550/. SECONDARIES' COURT, July 7. (Before Mr. Secondary JANES.) ANDERSON '2. BAINES AND ANOTHER. The plaintiff in this action is a silk dresser and presser in the City, and the defendants silk•merchants, &c. The action was brought to recover the sum of 3/, 17s. 9d. for work done. Defendants pleaded the general issue. On the part of the plaintiff it was shown that he had for some time previously to February last been in the habit of pressing and dressing silks for defendants, on account of a manufacturer named Douglas ; ultimately, however, defendants gave a general order for plaintiff to call on them for goods, and accordingly work was done to the amount claimed. Douglas had been charged with the orders up to that time, but had not paid. On behalf of the defendants, Douglas was called, and proved that he supplied the silks to defendants, but they were not pressed. He contracted with plaintiff to send to defendants for them to dress them as required. He had charged defendants as though they were pressed, and had been paid, but did not pay plaintiff. He could not, however, say whether the goods now claimed for had been sent in or charged for by him. He was not in confinement for debt, having failed for 20,0001. Mr. HAWKINS, for plaintiff, contended that the contract with Douglas had been abandoned, and that defendants gave the order on their own account. The Learned SECONDARY was about to sum up, but the jury said they were satisfied, and gave a verdict for the amount claimed. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, July 7. IN RE ROBERT BEAU, JUN. This insolvent, described as a sharebroker, was op posed by Mr. Nichols for Messrs. Allsop, sharebrokers, and a Mr. Carloss. He was supported by Mr. Dowse. It appeared that the insolvent, a young man, began business in May, 1845, and ended in January last. He had a capital of 8501., which be had lost, and now owed 3,3001. lie had been a jobber in shares and in the funds. He borrowed 1501. of Messrs. Allsop, of Hull, where he carried on his business, on a promise to return the sam e . He was a defaulter to I Mr. Carloss, and the matter was referred to the members of the Hull Stock Exchange, and they made a report that 1091. Bs. 3d. was due to Mr. Carloss, who was now a solicitor. An action was brought An Middlesex, and a verdict given for the amount. The costs were 491., of which 301. had been incurred by the plea. The insolvent admitted that he had been a jobber as well as a broker, although he had only described himself as a sharebroker.

It appeared that the prosecutor, on the 30th ultim o , had been enjoying himself rather freely in several public h ous es along the City-road, and fell, with his purse in hand, in the street, and the contents of his purse was scattered about. The prisoner came and picked up the purse and money , an d when asked if he had anything except the purse, he replied in the negative, but upon being searched, the above money was found upon him. die was found Guilty, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment, with hard labour. LATE HEARTLESS ROBBERY AT VIE LONDON Juoirrri.L.--Afary Anne Polder was indicted for stealing SUN, LO:i1301s1, THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 4, 1847. a bead necklace, value 55., the property of Thomas Blyth, from the person of Elizabeth Blyth. The first witness called was Mary Anne Cripps, who stated that she was the head nurse in the ward in which Mrs. Blyth was brought in in a dying state, in conie quence of an aevident by the upsetting of a gig, while coming from Fairlop Fair. The prisoner approached closely to tle bed side, and hugging the dying woman in her arms, said, ‘• Puor, dear creature, she was my next do )r neighbour." Wituess said she was sinking test, and ordered the under nurse to get her some brandy, when the prisoner said give me her pocket, I will go and get her some. No one approached the bed, upon which Mrs. Blyth was (who died in less than half an hour after her admission), except witness, the under nurse, and the prisoner; and the prisoner having left the room the under nurse almost immediately afterwards exclaimed that her necklace had been taken. A policeman even tually brought the prisoner hack, when she was searched in the nurses' room, but nothing was found upon her; but as the policeman was afterwards taking her down stairs he heard something drop, and stopping her so suddenly as not to allow her to leave the spot where she stood, he looked down, when he found the necklace at her feet. She could not tell if Mrs. Blyth was alive at the time of the robbery. Mary Townsend confirmed this witness's state ment, which was also borne out by that of the constable. Mr. Thomas Blyth, whose arm was in a sling, and who seemed to suffer deep mental and physical anguish, stated the circumstances of the accident, and deposed that he had never seen the prisoner before the time she was brought to him in the hospital by the police man. The AssIsTANT•JUDGE in summing up said the jury could not treat the case as one of stealing from the per son, because the nurse was unable to state whether the poor woman was alive or not. The jury, without a moment's hesitation returned a verdict of Guilty, and The ASSISTANT-JUDGE in passing sentence on the pri soner said, this was about one of the most unfeeling, cruel, and heartless cases which ever came before him. The prisoner—You are wrong, my Lord, I did know the woman; she and I have often drank together. The ASSISTANT-JUDGE—Nonsense. You want now to belie the woman's character. The sentence of the Court is that you be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for six months, six weeks of the term to be solitary. The grand jury having terminated their labours were discharged at twelve o'clock. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. George Silverton, jun., and William Clewley were brought before Alderman Gibbs charged with having, to the obstruction of the navigation of the river Thames, which the recent circumstances connected with the con servancy of the river as affecting the Government and the City authorities have made a subject of considerable importance, thrown a quantity of rubbish overboard. W. T. Bridges, inspector of the Thames police, stated that at a quarter-past one o'clock on Tuesday morning he saw off the Temple pier a boat driving down the river, and something very bulky upon the water under the stern. Upon going to the spot he saw Silverton on the cabin-bead, and upon questioning him was told that he was only throwing ever a little clean straw. Wit ness took a sample of the clean straw from the boat, and found it to be very noxious rubbish, and that Silverton said he had got it from the Magnet steamer. Clewley was rowing the boat at the time.--Guilty. Silverton, the elder, was then charged with having worked a barge on the river without being free of the Waterman's and Lightermen's Company. The beadle to the Waterman's Company stated that, on the 21st of June, he saw the defendant in a barge lying alongside of the Magnet steam-boat, on Brewers quay, taking in ashes. He also saw the defendant and his son navigate the barge to the tier at Horsleydown, and leave it alongside of a steamer called the Caledonian. There was no person of the name a freeman of the Company. It was proved that Silverton, the elder, was in the habit of taking away the ashes from the Magnet. This defendant was also found guilty. In the first case Alderman GIBBS sentenced Silverton, jun., to pay 51. penalty, and Clewley to pay 40s. ; and in the second case he sentenced Silverton, sen., to pay 51. penalty. The Alderman said that persons who violated the law, in regard to the River Thames, should feel the penalty in a severe manner, and that each of the persons who were fined 51. should, in default of the pay ment, be confined one month ; and the person who was fined 40s. should, if likewise unable or unwilling to pay, be confined seven days in the common gaol. ATTEMPT TO ROB A POSTMAN.—A desperate attempt was made yesterday morning to rob the old postman, who has been in the habit of conveying the bankers' letters and parcels from the Post-office in St. Martin's• le-Grand to Lombard-street. The following is the sub stance of the account of the attempt, given at some of the banking-houses : As Inspector Woodroffe, of the City police, was pass ing, at about five minutes after eight, along Wood street, Cheapside, he was informed by a man that there was a cry of murder in Mitre-court, a narrow passage between Wood-street and Milk-street. He immediately ran to the entrance of Mitre-court, the gate of which is locked every night at eleven o'clock and opened at six in the morning ; and finding that it was locked, he sus pected that there was foundation for the outcry, and dispatched one of the men round to the gate in Wood street. It was then ascertained that the postman in trusted with the transmission of the Lombard-street walk, and who was in the habit of passing through Mitre -court, bad been attacked by three men in the narrowest part of the passage, that he had been struck by one of them with a life preserver on the head, and knocked down, and that the others endeavoured to drag away his bags from him, but without effect, as he roared out " mur der" in such a manner as to strike his assailants with the dread of detection. The thieves, who were, no doubt, whit were called " family men," escaped. When they heard the strong lungs of the postman they ran to the Wood-street gate, and, being supplied with a skeleton key, they pulled to the gate, locked it, and got away just before the inspector was informed of the alarm. The skeleton key and the life-preserver were found by the officer. The poor post- man bled profusely from the head, but although the vio lence used against him was very great, he grasped his bags in the most determined manner, so that even those who went to his assistance could not have got them from him without great difficulty. It is conjectured that the plan had been laid for some time, and it was remarkable that the communications from the correspondents of the bankers happened to be unusually large yesterday morning. BOW-STREET. Philip Bradley was placed at the bar before Mr. Henry on a charge of stealing 91. in gold, the property of Mary Jenkinson, his landlady. He had been several times remanded. The complainant stated that she kept an eating-house in Little Turnstile, and the prisoner had rooms in her house. On Saturday, the 26th ult., he gave her two shillings in part payment of his week's rent, asking her to allow the remainder to stand over for a few days, to which she assented. On the Monday following she missed 91., which she had deposited in a work-box in her bedroom a few days before. The prisoner passed the door of that room in going to and from his bedroom. No other person had occasion to pass it. Mr. Win Cooper, a linen-draper in Red Lion-street, said that on Monday, the 28th ult., the prisoner pur chased a silk handkerchief of him, and at the same time deposited with him 61. in gold. Mr. Richard Cooper, a shoemaker, in Red Lion street, said that on the same day the prisoner bought a pair of boots, and having paid for them, asked for an envelope. He put something in it, sealed it, and placed it in one of the boots. He then left. The envelope was found to contain Mr. W. Cooper' s acknowledgment for 61. The prisoner reserved his defence, and was committed for trial. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THE CASE OP THE ALLEGED STEALING OF Two THOUSAND POUNDS' WORTH OF BlLLS.—Yesterday was the day fixed for the re-examination of Mr. Charles Pollard, who stands charged with having obtained 2,0001. in bills, from Prince Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, with intent to steal the same. The court was crowded ; and among the crowd might be seen several persons, known at this court, as being connected with a peculiar class of bill-discounters. Alexander Symons was called to prove that the pri soner offered the bills to him for discount. Examined by Mr. Burt—Lived at No. 16, London street, and was a wine-merchant. Saw the prisoner for the first time on Friday week. Had no previous know ledge of the prisoner. Mr. Watson and the prisoner came together. Had known Watson as a commercial tra veller for many years. Watson or the prisoner said that discount was wanted for a bill of 1,000/. Witness said if it was a genuine good bill he had no objection to dis count it. The prisoner offered terms. He said he had made up his mind before he came there he would take two hogsheads of wine, give 75/. for discount, and take the remainder in cash. Witness replied that would not do, and offered 7501. and two hogs heads of wine, taking the balance for discount. Wit ness did not recollect if he asked the prisoner to produce the bill. The prisoner arranged to call the following day, giving witness, at the same time, to un derstand that he had the bills in his own possession. The prisoner called the following day, with Mr. Watson, and with a person who was represented to be a Mr. Smith. The prisoner had previously represented to witness that he had drawn a bill on the Prince, who had accepted it, and that it was as good as a Bank of England note. Between the first and second call from the prisoner, witness had heard something about the bills. When the parties arrived at witness's house, Mr. Smith said he came to prove the handwriting of the Prince, if he (witness) had any doubt about the cir cumstance. Smith also said that the prisoner had been rather too modest about the thing, for the fact was the bill was in pawn for 3001. with a silversmith in the Strand. The prisoner admitted this to be the case, and wished hlin (witness) too b n ili t . o th T e he Str p a r n is d on t e o r pay d no t mention the na me go the th e 3001. and to re deem of the silversmith. Witness d'd • not t way he b usmess, and he replied that was During this conversation ?sr. declined the proposal.he came to the door to Orsi, the Prince's se cretar y , see hire (witness). W itness, on seeing M 0 • d' rected him to walk up st airs. had no doubt that Smith and the prisoner saw Orsi when he called. Witness apologised to the pri soner and the others for . l- being a b sent f or a m i n ute, and then w ent to M. Orsi. On hi s return w i tness f oun d that Smith and W atson were about to leave the house. Smith said to witness, " We have an order from Pollard to get the bill, and we w will r e t urn in about twenty minutes. ' The parties left ollard a s the house, and wit ness wen t b ac k into the room where , n ai r i e d ra t ar he k r e e d, P , o , lolahrd, 't is took up a memorandum they can of the parti culars of the bill, which he had place d on t h e table before, an d placed the p a p er i n hi s pocket. The prisoner th e impossible be back in tw enty • minutes. I'll go after them, wad we will be back here in an hour." The prisoner then went away, but he did not return. Watson came back in about half an hour, but neither Smith nor the prisoner returned. Had not seen the prisoner again until that day. After seeing M. Orai, witness, of course, did not intend to discount the bill. Had determinld, if possible, to get sight of the bid. Mr. Hawkins here objected to the question. Mr. Clarkson, who had since been retained for the Prince, here remarked that it was competent for the witness to give such evidence as might not be strictly legal, but to give it for the information of the Magistrate only. Mr. Hawkins still objected to the admission of irrele vant evidence. Mr. HARDWICK said inadmissible evidence would not be taken down. Cross-examined by Mr. Hawkins—Had occasionally discounted bills for a friend, but was not in the habit of discounting bills generally. Watson was a traveller to a friend of witness's. The difference between Pollard's proposal and witness's proposal as the terms of discount was about 251. Afterwards would not have discounted the bills, as witness, from information he had subse quently received, believed they had been stolen. Had the bills been brought to witness at the second interview witness would have attempted to get possession of them, with the ♦iew of assisting the Prince to recover them. Witness was not prepared to discount the bills at the first interview. Had seen M. Orsi several days prior to the first interview with the prisoner. Re-examined—Had not invited the prisoner to call at his house; but had previous information of the peculiar circumstances of the bill from a French gentleman with whom he was acquainted. Police-constable Culmer, F 117, examined—ln con sequence of information witness received, he appre hended the prisoner on Friday last in Bow-street. The prisoner was given into witness's custody for felony. Went to Vine-street station-house when the Prince came and charged the prisoner with obtaining fraudulently 2,0001. in bills of exchange from him. Police-constable West, F 106— Went to No. 10, Essex-street on Friday night last, about half-past nine o'clock. Went into a front parlour occupied by the pri soner and his wife. Saw Mrs. Pollard. Searched the room, but could find no bills, but found a quantity of letters arid memoranda. The papers were extracts from money-lending advertisements in the morning papers. Found a letter addressed to Chas. Pollard, 6, Salisbury street, and also a letter directed to Chas. Pollard, No. 10, Essex-street. Also searched the prisoner's bed room, and found more papers. This closed the evidence for the prosecution. Mr. Hawkins said he did not know if it would be of any avail to offer observations as to the larceny, for if the magistrate adhered to the determination expressed at the last examination, to submit the case to a jury, he (Mr. Hawkins) would best discharge his duty - to his client by reserving his observations until the time of trial. If, however, any observations on the law or the facts of the case would have an effect on the mind of the Court, he would proceed at once with his argument. Mr. HAnDwicK said the opinion he had previously expressed had only been strengthened by the subsequent evidence. Mr. Hawkins must express his exceeding surprise that the evidence which Mr. Bush on the last occasion pledged himself to produce against the prisoner had not been brought forward. Not a tittle of evidence of the alleged fraudulent pretence had been produced, and not one wit ness had been called to carry the case further than it was carried at the last examination. He thought the last remand caused some hardship to the prisoner. Mr. Ilinnwrcx said there was still time enough for trying the charge this session. Mr. Hawkins said he was prepared to offer bail to any amount. If bail was accepted, then the prisoner would not be anxious to have the case tried this session. He was prepared with unexceptionable bail. Mr. HARDWICK said the prisoner could apply to the Court above to be admitted to bail. _ _ _ Mr. Clarkson was sure the magistrate would hear arguments as to facts in law, if they were material ; but with respect to bail, the answer to that was that Pollard had denied himself repeatedly to the Prince when he called in Essex-street. Mr. Hawkins said there was no evidence of that. The prisoner was then fully committed without bail. WORSHIP-STREET. ROBBERIES ON THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY. —For some time past the Eastern Counties Railway Company have been robbed to an alarming extent b) their own servants. Amongst other purloinings is on, not unfrequently practised on the canals and in the docks, commonly called " riding the pony," which mean, the displacing the bung of a cask containing liquor, and introducing a tube, by which the parties help themselves by means of suction, as bountifully as they please. Certain individuals having been suspected, a watch was set upon their actions, and on Sunday afternoon last, Sparks, the gatekeeper of the goods warehouse, at St. John-street, Bethnal-green. discovered six of the servants of the company regaling themselves in the manner above alluded to. Spark, proceeded to the police-station, and gave information to Sergeant Coleman, the acting inspector ; and sergeant Price, accompanied by several constables, went to the warehouse, and apprehended five of the delinquents, the other one, Williamson, escaped, but was subsequently captured. They were all brought to this office, and Cooling and Williamson were discharged in consequence of the evi dence not appearing sufficient ; but the others, namely. Bacon, Wood, Allen, and Cherry, were ordered for trial. THAMES. Edmund Mills, who had been a driver in the employ of the London Parcels Delivery Company for the ►ast ten years. was charged with having driven his horse and cart over a boy about four years of age, named Henry Dobson, killing him on the spot. From the evidence it appeared that, between seven and eight o'clock on Tuesday evening, as the prisoner was driving a cart belonging to the company past Mummers row, Mile-end Old Town, the deceased, with his mother. was sitting on a door-step, when suddenly the poor little fellow darted away from his parent, and before Mills could pull up one of the wheels passed over its head, causing instant death on the spot. All the witnesses concurred in the opinion that no blame was to be at tached to Mills, who tried to pull up, but could not, and immediately got down and rendered every assistance. The cart was not going at a faster rate that, seven or eight miles an hour. Mr. YARDLEY said, however deplorable and melan choly such an accident might be, yet, from the evidence before him, there was clearly no blame to be attached to the prisoner, who bore, it seemed, an excellent character, having been ten years in the employ of a public company, and, therefore, under all the circumstances, he should discharge him. • RECENT DEATH OF A YOUTH OF COLOUR. On Tuesday an exceedin gly Full meeting of the board of directors and g uardi ans of the poor of the parish of St. Pancr as, was held a t the board - room of th e workhouse, King's-cross, Camden -town, specially con vened for the purpose of further investigating the sir cumstances attending the recent death of a youth of colour, named Daniel Hunter. upon whom an inque-t was held by Mr. T. Wakley, on Thursday last; the deceased having been alleged to have died from the was occupied by Mr. Ch urc h war d en Ho treatment of Mr. Pindar, chemi s t an d drugg i st, High street, C c. haamird en -t o wn, and in wh ose emp l oy h e was a t worth, who, having made a few prefatory observations, a si e n u t m ro s tu n c e e e d s o o t' the case in his owl; the board, and ex plained Mr. Pindar the r w real al circumstances exculpation. At the conclusion Mr. Pindar was questioned at much length as to the construction of the sleeping place 01 deceased, who, it was clearly stated that, although the room was not the most comfortable apartment, it was far superior to what had been represented. and deceased had occupied it about twelve months, during which period he never once complained of it. Tiffin, the officer, was now called and interrogated by the Board, but his testimony was of a generally unsatis factory character, and the directors unanimously ex pressed their dis Approbation of his conduct, and after some further examination a long discussion took place between various members of the Board, including Messrs. Wagstaff, Douglas, Smith, Hunt, &c., all deeply incensed with the injustice that had been done Mr. Pindar, and at length, after a protracted investigation, the following re solution was passed: — " That in the opinion of this Board, the summoning officer or beadle has greatly exceeded his duty, in hav ing interfered to prevent the funeral of Daniel Hunter, without the written authority of the coroner, and that he be reprimanded and cautioned to be more careful in future." Tiffin was here recalled to hear the resolution read, and The CHAIRMAN, addressing him, said he trusted from the feeling and sen timents he had heard expressed by the Board, that Tiffin would in future be more cautious. It was not his (Tiffin's) duty to abuse his office to the prejudice and annoyance of the rat e p a y ers of the parish, though it was th e duty of the guardians to protect them from any improper interference on the part of an officer belonging to the parish. After some further remarks the proceedings termi nated. THE DAGENHAM MURDER.--APPREHENSION OF IlzeaToN.—ln some of the morning j ournals of Satur day a parag rap h appeare d , s t a ting that the Commis• sioners of Poli ce h a d rece i ve d information from the constabulary at Derb of the a pprehension of Isaac Hickton, c onsta bl es on e o f the consta bl es of the K division of police, again s t w h om a true bill for perjury and con spiracy was found at the last assizes for the county of Essex. The f o ll ow i ng part i cu l a rs relating to his appre hension, &c., will be read with intere st. After his dis missal from th e police force, H i c k to n himself states that he went into W a l es, where ho obtai ned work for some time at his t ra d e of a curr i er. From Wales (having learnt that a t rue bi ll had b een f o und against him for perjury, he b ecame fearful that h e would be arrested, and having b ecome known to t h e police in the neigh bourhood, he went to Liverpool. At this pl ice he con tinued until his apprehension, confident that he would not be found ou t. His conf id ence , however, on seeing the bills rec en tl y i ssued for the appre hension of himself and Sergeant P arsons was s h a k en , and he at once wrote to his fath er at Derby, te lli n g him to give infor mation to Sergea n t G eorge H ar d y, of the Dery police, where he was to be found, so that Hardy , w ho had been a schoolfellow of his, might capture him, and get the reward. Hardy accordingly procee d e d to Liverpool on Wednesday, and brought Hickton to London. On the following day he was taken before Mr. Ju stice Erle, at the Judges' Chambers, who issued his wa rrant for his committal to Ilford gaol, where ho will re main un til the assizes at Chelmsford. He is stated by those whose duty it is to attend on him to be in a most depressed state of mind.
