Mr. Armstrong and Mr. Henderson conducted the prose euction, Mr. Wilkins appeared for the prisoner. Some difficulty was experienced in forming such a jury as is customary in such cases, namely, one six English, and six Italian. At last Mr. Wilkins agreed to take the jury as it stood, namely, nine Englishmen, two Italians, and one German, who understood the Italian language. Joseph Liardi acted as interpreter. Mr. ARMSTRONG, in stating the case to the jury, said the prisoner at the bar was indicted for the wilful murder of Antonio Tuscani. The 'prisoner was a foreigner, and upon that acount he portion of the jur of those who wen witnesses who wt amined, if it was terpreter, which w is it was his privilege, to have a . ,mposed of his own countrymen, and niliar with his own language. The I appear against him, would be ex mry, through the medium of an in nake the case somewhat long although the facts were very short. The prisoner was an Italian, arid the unfortunate deceased was also a native of that country. The prisoner had lodged in the same house, with a number of other foreigners, for four years ; the deceased had lodged there only about two years. They were both musicians, and for some time they had been in partnership, going about the country together, the prisoner carrying the purse and pay ing the expenses. Before this unfortunate affair they had had a quarrel about some money, but it was not supposed to have caused any serious difference between them, although it was known they had quarrelled. On the night of 12th July last, the deceased and the prisoner slept together, and a man and his wife slept in the same room. The prisoner went to bed before the deceased, and the deceased retired between eleven and twelve o'clock. The last persons up were the lodging house keeper, who went to bed about one o'clock, leaving a fire ready prepared for lighting in the morning. About four o'clock, the inmates of the house were aroused by a cry of " I am burnt, lam scalded to death." Toscani, the deceased, was then seen running down stairs as if in pursuit of some body. Only one witness saw the prisoner run down stairs before him. When the landlord came he found the deceased covered with oatmeal porridge on the face, chest, and belly ; he enquired of the deceased who bad done it, and he said " Cappella." Afterwards, all the lodgers came down stairs, and the only one missing was the prisoner, whose hat was left upon the table. The landlord found on the fire an iron pot, which had contained oatmeal and water; this pot he had washed himself, and put it into the scullery, before he went to bed. At the foot of the bed on which the deceased and the prisoner had slept, a bucket was found, half-full of the mixture. The deceased was taken to the Infirmary, where he died on the 26th July. The learned gentleman then described the state of the bedroom, as found by the landlord, and the circumstance of the prisoner calling on the witness Rabioti. On the 26th, the prisoner called in one of the wit nesses, and enquired how the deceased was. The witness told him he was very ill, and that he ought to go and see him. At that time the deceased was dead, but this was said in order to get him to the police office to be apprehended. The learned gentleman concluded by submitting that under all the circum stances, the case was one of murder. Luigi Ginocchio was the first witness called. He said—l am a Genoese, and have been in this country about 18 years. I knew the deceased Antonio Toscani; he lodged at my house, in Circus-street. I know the prisoner ; he has lodged in my house about four years. They slept together in the same bed in the top room ; in the same room also slept Do minico Basini and his wife. On the night of Monday, the 12th July, I saw the prisoner and the deceased in the house together, but 1 cannot recollect which of them went to bed first. I remained up after they had gone to hed till one o'clock, or half-past. Between three and four o'clock I heard a scream from the top bed-room ; I jumped out of bed, and saw the prisoner run down stairs. I ran down stairs myself, thinking the house was on fire. At the foot of the stairs I saw my wife, who had hold of the deceased, who had run down also. I asked what was the matter, and the deceased said "I am burned, lam dead:" I asked him who had burned him, and he said " Capella." The deceased had no clothes upon him. I noticed that his face was not much scalded, but that his body was. There was some flour "mixed up" upon his face and body. He was entirely naked, which is sometimes the custom with Italians in sleeping. I noticed that the prisoner was quite dressed, ex cept his hat. There is a door to the cellar which communi cates with the street. It was half-past three o'clock when I saw the prisoner run down stairs into the cellar and out at the door. My wife went to get a shirt for the deceased, after I bad cleaned him as well as I could, in the kitchen. I then went to fetch a doctor, and returned in five or six minutes. After putting the deceased into another room, I went into that in which the prisoner and the deceased had slept. I found some of the mixture upon the bed, and some in a bucket at the foot of the bed. The mixture upon the bed was just like that which I saw upon Toscani, and think it was the same. The bucket was usually kept in the kitchen; there was only one fire in the house when I went to bed, and it was in the kitchen, " made up" for lighting in the morn ing. It was smouldering when I left it. At four o'clock in the morning I saw that it had been made up again. I no ticed alittle iron pot near the fire, which pot I had left in the scullery with the bucket when I went to bed. There was nothing in the iron pot in the morning, but it was dirty with the same sort of mixture that was upon Toscani. I had cleaned the iron pot the night before. The mixture was made of oatmeal. I received a knife that day from Domenic Basini. one of the inmates of the house. I knew the hat the prisoner was accustomed to wear. I saw him run out of the door of the kitchen ' without hi s h a t, as f as t as a ny m an could run ;he did not return that day. His hat I found on the table, and it has b een i n my hands since. The deceased was taken to the Infirmary the same day • I visited him there, and he always said he th oug h t he should ' die. He told " I have been burned by th a t C ape ll a; he has . me, taken my life; I cannot be cured; lam a dead man." Ido not know whe ther he said this from the great pain he was in, die or jvhether be said it under the impression that he thought he should recover. ihe hrleasrioei he tell whether he had a French piano, which he kept in the room where slept.

English. but was Dominica Basini, an Italian, who s p oke examined through the medium of the interpreter, said he and his wife lodged in the house of the last witness. He went to bed about eleven o'clock, and slept in the same room with the prisoner and the deceased. Witness was awoke be tween three and four o'clock in the morning by a great noise upon the stairs, and the deceased crying out " C a p ella has scalded me !" Wituess went down stairs in about a quarter of an hour or half an hour afterwards. When he got out of bed his feet went into some dirty mixture on the floor, an Antonio Solar - i, servant to the witness Moss, said, he heard the deceased scream and use the words, " forgive me, I'm a dead man." 'Witness saw John Baptist Bisolasi, one of his comrades, pick up a knife on the stairs. The knife was open, and standing against the stair with the blade up permost. John Baptist Bisolasi confirmed the statement of the last witness as to the finding of the knife, aid he gave it to Basini. He also confirmed the evidence of the other wit nesses as to the cries of the deceased. The prisoner's cha racter was good. . _ _ . _ _ _ . Carlo Rtibioti said, he was a musician, and kept a house in Liverpool. Ginocchio's house was about half a mile from his. Knew the prisoner, who clam to his house on the Monday night at ten o'clock with his piano. Witness told him if he wanted his instrument repaired the man was out. He replied, that he did not want it repaired. Witness was at supper, and asked him to hale some, but he said he•was in a hur •y, and lie wished to go home. He said, he would lem e the instrument there, as he bad to go some where to play very early in the morning. He left it, and went away. The next morning be came at four o'clock, and asked for his piano. He had no hat, and said that some blackguard had taken it last night. Witness lent him one. He then went away. This witness gave the prisoner a good character. Mr. Thomas Brandrethsaid he was house-surgeon to the Liverpool Infirmary, and recollected the deceased being brought there on the 13th July. He had received a very ex tensive scald over the face, neck, chest, abdomen, sides, part of the back, and the upper part of the thighs. He died on the 25th. He died from exhaustion, whieh resulted from the scalding. A patient in the same ward interpreted for witness what the deceased said, as witness does not know Italian. He was in a very dangerous state when he was brought to the infirmary, and continued so till his death. Mr. Dowling, police-commissioner, said he understood the Italian language, and on the 17th July he accompanied Mr. Rushton to the infirmary, to see the deceased, who was then in great pain, but quite sensible. Witness asked him particularly whether he thought he should recover or not? He replied " No ; it was impossible ; he felt great pain in his stomach, and he could scarcely breathe." Witness's opi nion was that be thought himself in such a state that he could not recover. The examination was then taken by Mr. Rush ton, and witness translated it to the deceased, who then put his mark to it. ... __ The examination of the deceased was here read. It has ready been published in the STANDARD. Archibald Balfour, beadle of Liverpool, said he was pre- sent at the inquest before the coroner, and heard the prisoner make a statement (which was now read), to the effect that the deceased owed him £l2, and when he asked him for it, on the Sunday before, he said one had been put into the bu rial ground to-day, and there would soon be another, -mean ing the prisoner. • This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. WILKINS then addressed the jury, in a most eloquent speech, on the part of the prisoner. He commenced by stat ing that he trusted he should be able to convince them that at most the offence was one of manslaughter only. They had heard that for many years the prisoner had borne an excellent character for humanity and kindness, and if that were so was it not inconsistent to say that he could in one moment be come a murderer. He contended there was nothing to prove that the deed was done by design ; in the first place there were fifteen persons in the house, and the instrument was one of the most clumsy that could have been selected. Again, if he intended to scald the deceased there were two kettles of hot water which he might have used, without his going to the trouble of making the mixture spoken of. He must have known too that the screams produced by the torture of the scalding must inevitably lead to his detection. The view he took was, that the prisoner went down stairs to prepare breakfast pre vious to both going on their journey ; that when he took it up stairs some sudden quarrel took place about money, and in the beat of the moment, without premeditation or inten tion, threw the mixture upon the deceased. A knife had been produced, but it had not been proved to belong to the prisoner ; but it had been proved by the deceased himself that he had told the prisoner that there had been one funeral that day and there might soon be another. After some fur ther comments the learned gentlemenreverted to his original position, and called upon the jury to return a verdict of manslaughter. The CHIEF JUSTICE then summed up, recapitulating all the circumstances of the case. The jury then retired, and after an absence of a quarter of an hour they returned into court with a verdict of Guilty, but recommended him to mercy on the ground of his previous good character. The JUDGE ordered the prisoner to be brought up for sen tence to-morrow morning (Friday.) ASHTON ELECTION RIOTS Job Tankard, 33, James Hallsworth, 25, William Mars land, 23, John Briggs, 26, Richard Hadcroft, 34, John Royle, 26, and James &osier, 26, were indicted for feloni ously and riotously beginning to demolish and pull down the dwelling house of James Taylor, at Ashton-under-Lyne, on Thursday, the Ist Jnly last. Dr. Brown and Mr. Brandt prosecuted ; the prisoners Hallsworth and Briggs were defended by Mr. James ; the others were undefended. It appeared that the polling at the election for the borough of Ashton-under-Lyne took place on the Ist of July last, and, party spirit being very strong there, a riot took place, in the course of which much violence was exhibited. The prosecutor kept a tavern, which was resorted to by.the friends of Mr. Hindley, one of the candidates, called the New Town Hall Inn, and it was against this house that the rioters di rected their attacks, doing considerable damage. A great number of people were apprehended, among whom were the prisoners. The jury found all the prisoners guilty, but recommended them to the mercy of the court, on the ground that it was probable their actions had been induced by others in a diffe rent station of life. The CHIEF JUSTICE said he was bound to order sentence of death to be recorded against them, but the act which di rected him to do so would expire in the month of October. Under these circumstances, he should add his recommen dation to that of the jury, and in all probability they would be discharged on finding sureties for their good behaviour. If that should be so, he trusted those sureties would never have to be estreate4. 11 in the , een preserved jury, recapitulati proceeded, and ga from court for about an hour, recommendation to mercy. of death to be recorded COURT--WEDNESDAY ER AND UXON V.

When be went down stairs he saw the deceased lying upon a bench, and he re quested witness to send for a clergyman for him. The pri soner was not there. The deceased said in Italian, " I have been scalded by Capella; go and fetch a priest, for I think I am dying. He was in a great tremble. Witness thought this language was caused by his suffering, not by his thinking he should die. Witness saw the deceased in the Infirmary on the 25th. On the day after that witness met the prisoner, who said he had been informed that the deceased was going out with his instrument. Witness told him it was not so, as he was in the Infirmary, and he ought to go and see him. The prisoner then said to him, " Don't take any notice of me and I will reward you." On the morning that this affair happened one Luigi Gasparini gave witness a knife. The witness, in cross-examination, gave the prisoner a good character. Margaret Ginocchio, wife of the first witness, confirmed the testimony of her husband. She added that Gasparini went to bed before her husband, but rose sgain and went out before witness retired. _ _ . This witness, on being cross-examined, gave the prisoner a good character. John Baptist Massa, an Italian musician, who slept in the room adjoining to that in which the prisoner and the de ceased slept on the night in question, confirmed the testi mony of the preceding witnesses as to hearing the deceased cry out in Italian that he was scalded. _ _ . Luigi Gasparini said, he lodged in Ginocchio's house, and on Sunday afternoon, before this matter happened, he saw the prisoner come into the house from a funeral. The de ceased was there, and he said, if he had money he would go to America. The prisoner said, " What have you done in England that you /have not money to go to America ?" They had then some talk together, and the prisoner put out his finger towards the deceased, as in contempt. The pri soner said to the deceased, " You eat the blood of the poor." The prisoner then went away. They were in partnership together. Witness went to bed at ten o'clock on the night that this happened, and rose again at two o'clock to go into the yard. Saw Mrs. Ginocchio when he came down, but she was in bed before he came in again. Witness stayed in the kitchen to light his pipe. There was a good fire, but he did not touch it. He stayed there perhaps about twelve minutes, and then went to bed. Witness slept in a room over Ginocchio's and under the prisoner's. At a quarter before four he was awoke by a noise upon the stairs. The witness here described what he heard and saw, to the same effect as the other witnesses. Was sure he heard the de ceased cry out in Italian, " Cappella has burned me." Witness went down stairs, and saw the deceased with the mixture upon him, and he said to witness, Cappella had done it. He also said to witness, "My dear Louis, if 1 have done any thing to yeu, forgive me, I'm a dead man." Wit ness could not say whether at that time the deceased was under the impression that lie would die. Cross-examined.—Had known the prisoner nine years, and he had always maintained a good character. COINING John Fisher, James Crossley, and Margaret Crossley, con victed of coining, were sentenced—the first to six months' imprisonment, the second to 14 years' transportation, and the third to 12 months' imprisonment. POST-OFFICE FRAUDS Thomas Miller, for secreting a post letter, was sentenced to transportation for life i and William Davies, for stealing a post letter, was sentenced to 14 years' transportation. STABBING John Ball, for maliciously cutting and wounding Thomas Kelly, was sentenced to 14 years' transportation. John Lovatt, for shooting at William Newsham with in tent to murder him, was sentenced to 15 months' imprison ment and hard labour. FORGERY. Thomas Brown and Christopher Robinson Bell, convicted of forgery, were sentenced to transportation for life. The court adjourned shortly before six o'clock., NISI PRIUS COURT,-YESTERDAY RIGBY AND ANOTHER V. WESTMACOTT This was a special jury case, in which Thomas Rigby and another were plaintiffis, and Henry Seymour Westmacott, defendant. The declaration was an issue to try whether the plaintiffs were entitled to certain flint stone. Mr. Cresswcll and Mr. Crompton appeared for the plain tiffs ; and Mr. Baines and Mr. Martin for the defendant. Mr. CRESWELL informed the jury that the parties had come to an understanding which would save them the trouble of going into a lengthened investigation. A verdict was accordingly returned for the plaintiffs, by consent. His - LounsfurP then charged the jury. It was the duty of the sheriff's officer to ascertain whether there were any other writs against Walton before he discharged him from custody. If he had applied to the officer at Preston he could imme diately have ascertained that there was a second writ against Walton at the suit of the plaintiffs. The question was, whe ther Walton was in the sheriff's custody at the time that the sheriff had the second writ in his tare ; and, upon this point, it appeared from the evidence that the man had been in cus tody from the 10th to the 14th of July, and that the writ at the suit of the plaintiffs was consigned to the sheriff's keep ing on the 9th of July. There had been no evidence of any conspiracy in the case, but there bad been evidence of great neglect on the part of the sheriff's officer, who, it appeared, had not taken the ordinary precautions before he liberated Walton from custody. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiffs for the full amount. JONES V. BANKART, In this case Watkin Merrick Jones, was the plaintiff, and Frederick Bankart, the defendant. The action was brought for the recovery of the sum of £l6O, being the amount in which the defendant was indebted to the plaintiff for monies advanced, and on account stated. Mr. Cresswell and Mr. Watson appeared for the plaintiff, and the Hon. Mr. Wortley and Mr. Crompton for the de fendant. Mr. CRESWELL stated the case. The action had been brought by the plaintiff, a gentleman residing in Liverpool, to recover from the defendant, who was a compound of an attorney, a bill discounter, and an agent in London, a sum of about £162, under the following circumstances :—lt ap peared that a Mr. Worthington, also practised as an attor ney in Liverpool with great respectability, and who filled the office of solicitor to the Dock Trustees at present, became considerably indebted to the plaintiff. There had been ex changes of property between the parties, which left him a debtor to the plaintiff to a large amount. In the course of those transactions, Mr. Worthington had accepted a bill for the plaintiff for £lOO, which would become due on the 19th of March, 1840, and the plaintiff had accepted, for the ac commodation of Mr. Worthington, a bill for £221 ss, which would become due on the 20th of March in the same year. Both those bills had to be provided for by Mr. Worthington, but he not being in a condition to provide for them, the plain tiff remitted a bill on the 4th of March for £196 10s, and on the 18th of March he remitted another bill for £286 17s, which made a total of £483 7s to meet them. Those two bills were then handed over to the defendant to take up the bills which were falling due; and on the 22nd of March, 1840, the plaintiff wrote a letter to the defendant, informing him of the terms on which the two bills for £196 10s, and £286 17s had been remitted. The difference between the first two bills for £331 ss, which were taken up, and the second two bills for £483 7s, which had been remitted for the purpose of taking up the others, was now claimed by the plaintiff; for when the defendant was subsequently applied to for the balance, he said he would keep the bills for what they were worth, although they had both been ultimately ho noured, and he had received the amount of them in full. Witnesses having been examined to prove the transactions between the parties , The Hon. Mr. 'WORTLEY addressed the Jury on the part of the defendant. He said the plaintiff in the case had pro. lite(' very considerably by a familiar intimacy which had ex isted between Mr. Worthington and the defendant, in getting paper discounted, which otherwise would have been negocia ble. It would appear that Mr. Worthington, findinE him self under considerable embarrassments, went to London and applied, not to a common money-lender, but to his familiar friend, the defendant, for accommodation. The plaintiff and Mr. Worthington happening to have dealings together, and both being in difficulties, Mr. Worthington ap plied to the defendant, with the knowledge of the plaintiff, and at his suggestion, to assist him in discounting the bills for £lOO, and £231 ss. The defendant then accommodated the parties ; and he (the learned counsel) thought it rather hard that plaintiff should turn round on the defendant after that gentleman had accommodated him. The defendant claimed the bills as his own on account of a balance which was owing to him by the two parties—the plaintiff and Mr. Worthing ton, both of whom acted as if in partnership together, and the latter appearing in the capacity of an agent to the former. The defendant had subsequently been obliged to sue upon the bills, and ultimately succeeded in recovering their amount, less costs and other expenses. For ten months afterwards the plaintiff acquiesced in the transactions with the defendant ; but at present, in the last hour, in his des peration and want of funds, and when he found Mr. Wor thington unable to pay him, he turned round upon the de fendant, who, through his friendship with Mr. Worthington, had been induced to grant accommodation to the plaintiff. A number of letters were here read which had passed be tween the parties. Mr. CRESSWELL replied. His LORDSHIP then charged the jury, who, after an ab sence from court of twenty minutes, returned a verdict for the plaintiff for £162 10s. Verdict for the plaintiff for the sum claimed. DOE DEM BROCKLEBANK AND OTHERS V.HOLT This ;as an action of ejectment brought by the Rev. Mr. Brocklebank and others, trustees, against the defendant, John Holt, for 'the recovery of a certain farm called Ban nisters. Mr. Cowling appeared for the plaintiffs, and Mr. Tomlin son for the defendant. Verdict for the lessor of the plaintiff, subject to a rule to show cause fur a nonsuit. . _ . The court adjourned, at ten minutes to six o'clock, to nine this morning. At the rising of the court last evening, there were only three causes in the West Derby Hundred list, and 29 in the Salford Hundred list undisposed of. TAYLOR V. HAWKINS This was an undefended cause, hr-which Benjamin Taylor was plaintiff, and James Hawkins defendant. The action was brought for the recovery of £3O 3s. Bd., being the amount of a balance due from defendant to plaintiff. Verdict for plaintiff for the sum claimed. MARTIN V. POTTS AND ANOTHER. This was an undefended cause, in which Richard Martin was plaintiff, and John and Joseph Potts were the defendants. The plaintiff wa.s a drysalter, at Manchester, and the de fendants were silk-dyers. The action was brought for the recovery of .£3O ss. 10(1., being the amount of goods sold and delivered. Verdict for plaintiff for the sum claimed. COATES AND ANOTHER V. BIRCH, BART., SHERIFF. This was an action brought by Samuel and Benj. Coates, against Sir Thomas Bernard Birch, Bart., high-sheriff of the county, for the recovery of the amount of a judgment for £B5 3s. 10d. The declaration set forth, that on the Bth of July last a writ of capias ad respondendum had been duly issued to the chancellor, at the suit of the plaintiffs, against a Mr. Walton; that the sheriff, under a writ issued at the suit of a man named Scott, arrested Walton, and afterwards suffered him to go at large, whereby he became indebted to the plaintiffs for the amount of the judgment. The defen dant pleaded that the writ had not been delivered to him ; that he did not take Walton, and that he had not had him in execution ; and that there existed a conspiracy between the plaintiffs and their attorney, to lodge their writ at such a time that it would be impossible for the sheriff to execute it properly. - . . Mr. Dundas and Mr. Martin appeared for the plaintiffs, and Mr. Cresswell and Mr. Crompton for the defendant. Mr. DUNDA.S stated the case. The plaintiffs were iron mongers at Wolverhampton, and in the habit of doing busi ness in Liverpool with Mr. Walton, against whom they brought an action in the January of the present year, and obtained a verdict for the sum of £B5 3s. 10d. Mr. Walton not being forthcoming, the plaintiffs sued out their writ on the Bth of July, for th e purpose of proceeding on the judg ment. The jury were aware that it was the duty of the she riff, when he received a writ, to take the man into custody, and in that way the debt was recovered. The action in the present case had been brought against the sheriff for his de- wr7rdoiuffared him to escape t in consequence, the sheriff had rendered himself liable for the amount of the judgment. It would appear from the evidence, thaton the Bth of July last, a writ was sued out against Walton, at the suit of the plain. tiffs, and that the following day it was delivered to the sheriff, at his office in Preston. At the same time there happened to have been a writ out against Walton, at the suit of a Mr. John Scott, which writ was delivered to a man named Kirby, the sheriff's officer, who arrested Walton in Liverpool, on the lOth of July. The action between Scott and Walton was then settled, whereupon Kirby, without searching the sheriff's office, at Preston, to ascertain, if there were any other writs against him, suffered him to go at large, whereby the plaintiffs had lost the benefit of his arrest. In point of law, when the sheriff receives several writs against an indi vidual, and that individual was arrested on one of them, he was virtually in custody on every one of the actions. For instance, if there were six writs out against a man. and he was arrested on one of them, he was virtually arrested on all the others, because it would be absurd on the part of the sheriff to arrest him on each separately; and therefore when Walton had been arrested at the suit of IScott, he was virtu ally arrested at the suit of the plaintiffs ; because, when he had been arrested at the suit of Scutt, the writ of the plain tiffs was issued : under those circumstances, the sheriff was liable for his default. Several witnesses were then examined to prove the case; after which, Mr. CRESWELL addressed the jury on the part of the defendant. He said that the two writs had come down si multaneously, in order that Walton might be arrested on mesne process and let out, and that the sheriff should then be fixed in the costs of the present action. Both the writs came down on the same day, the 9th July : one of them was sent to an officer of the name of Kirby, and the second to an officer of the name of Ogle. Walton was then arrested by Kirby, and when the action at the suit of Scott had been settled, he kept him for a day or two after in custody, and then liberated him, not knowing that there was another writ against him at the suit of the plaintiffs, and the officer Ogle knowing nothing of Walton's arrest. He (the learned coun sel) was not quite sure that Walton had not been a party to the transaction, and that he had not been instrumental in the getting up of the farce, which might well be called " anew way to pay old debts ", by making the sheriff of the county liable for the demand of the plaintiffs instead of himself. There appeared to have been an arrangement between the parties that Walton should be arrested and put in jail ; that the second writ should be got down at the same time with the plaintiff's suit ; that Walton should be liberated upon Scott's writ, and that the sheriff should be made to pay the amount of the second execution. For this purpose W alton's arrest on Scott's writ had been kept a profound secret lest it should come to the ears of the officer, Ogle, and lest mea sures would be accordingly taken to keep him in custody. If the jury should be of opinion, under these circumstances, _ . that there had been a conspiracy between the parties, and a piece of hocus pocus in the bringing down of the two writs ;t one and the same time, they would release the sheriff from liability. BALDWIN V. BENNETT AND ANOTHER This was an undefended action, brought by the plaintiff, William Baldwin, against the defendants, John and Joseph Bennett. The declaration contained counts for goods sold and delivered, and interest on an account stated, and a pro mise to pay on request. The plaintiff was a dealer in oil and tallow, residing at Manchester. The defendants were cotton spinners. The action had been brought for the recovery of the sum of £7l 10s. 6d., being the value of 331 gallons of oil, and interest on that amount for six months from the sale, which took place in July, 1839. Verdict for plaintiff for the suni claimed. BRAG V. JACKSON. In this case, John Bragg was the plaintiff, and John Jack son defendant. The declaration set forth that the defendant had assaulted and falsely imprisoned the plaintiff. The de fendant pleaded " not guilty." Mr. Cresswell anciVrT3i;rtin appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Dundas for the defendant. Mr. CRESSWELL stated - thecaTe to the jury on the part of the plaintiff. He had to lay before them a case requiring their serious attention. It was not one of aq ordinary character. At the time of the occurrence t h e plaintiff had been engaged in an act of charitable interference, on behalf of an unfortu nate fellow-creature, and the conduct of the defendant had been harsh, cruel, without justification, and excessively cal culated to injure the plaintiff in his reputation and feelings. It would appear in evidence that at the last spring assizes a young man, of the name of Coates, had been convicted of forgery, at the Chester assizes. Coates' father, who was dead, had been a respectable man ; the young man himself had been decently educated ; he had unfortunately acquired bad habits, and had uttered a forged bill purporting to have the acceptance of a gentleman of the name of Vickars, a cotton-spinner, near Stockport. The fraud had been committed on the Bank of Stockport. and he was con victed. Subsequently, the convict's uncle tried to get up a petition on his behalf, in the hope that the chief secretary would advise her majesty to extend a degree of mercy to him ; for he had been sentenced to transportation for a period of ten years, and the prayer of the petition was to procure a remission of that sentence. It being desirable to obtain the sanction of the party who prosecutes, and whose name is forged to a petition of the kind, for if he adds his name, it will be taken for granted tkat lie thinks it a case in which the clemency of the crown may fairly be interposed, the convict's uncle was anxious to obtain the signature of Mr. Vickars. Accordingly, not being acquainted with the gentleman himself, he applied to the plaintiff to know if he were acquainted witlalisa. Ile..seitihe was, and promised to speak to him on the subject. A note was then sent to him, and afterwards the plaintiff and the uncle of the convict met Mr. Vickars in Manchester, and got him to sign it. Having procured his signature on the 13th of May, they proceeded to the bank at Stockport, for the purpose of seeing whether the manager, who happened to be the defendant, would sign it also. They accordingly presented the petition to him, stating that they had got Mr. Vickars to sign it, and expres sing a hope that the defendant would likewise attach his signature. He (the manager) begged of them both to leave it with him for a time, and that he would give an answer. They said they would, left it with him, and de parted. In consequence of the convict having executed a deed of gift to his mother, in order that two or three things of which he was possessed might become her property, in stead of being forfeited to the crown, the plaintiff and the convict's uncle then proceeded to the mayor, and made ap plication to him to have the said things given up. The mayor said he would take time to speak to his brother magistrates on the subject, and while they were debating the matter to gether, the defendant entered, and spoke to the two men with reference to the petition. They then went into the mayor's room, and had a private conversation with his wor ship, after which they went back to the bank. On their ar rival there, they found that the defendant had two policemen in attendance, and by those policemen the defendant had the two men apprehended on a charge of having forged the petition. This was a very cruel proceeding to say the least of it. What interest could the plaintiff have to get a peti tion of the sort signed ? Could he have had any other motives than those of charity and kindness ? Could the de fendant.sl genuineness n i nt n uht eia a nnt n ec y lei tde w hs, eas of y lye ?, oif he chose not to sign young man had been justly might have said so. tlf it he Mr. Vi c k ars ' signa ture he might have sent for that g entle man , and asked the v convicted b i e upon dou t bhteeddefrauded tandhby ground e y ques tion whe ther he bad signed it or not; and if h e th en found that the petition had been gotten up by improper means, he m ig ht with propriety have written to the S ecre t ar y of State to be on his guard against it. But that a p e r son who was going about in the cause of mercy, presenting a petition of the kind, and askin g a g entl eman whether he would s ig n it, should--because the defendant f anc i ed there wasvar variance between the hand-writing of Mr. Vickars to the petition and the man ner in which he usually wrote hi s impute a f e lony , and have the • name—immediately apprehended and taken into cus tody. showed a degree of harshness, violence, and cruelty most p ainful to the f ee li ngs of the plaintiff. The defendant said, f e ndant said, he was ready to swear that it was not Mr. Vickars' hand-wr it ing , a nd the Mayor said, when they were b rou ght before him, that he w ou ld hold them to bail. The plaintif f 's father then bailed them, 4n4 frinnardoly sat Og to Mr, Vickuo, rrlia liveti about eight miles off, to acquaint him with what had occur. red. Mr. Vickars expressed his regret at the circumstance, behaved considerately to them, and went over to Stockport the next day to say he really had signed the petition. The men attended the following day before the Mayor, when their recognizances were discharged and themselves liberated. The defendant could have no motive under heaven for his conduct except a feeling against every body connected with Coates, the convict ; because, through means of Coates, he had paid a forged bill. If those injuries had been com mitted without any reasonable excuse on the part of the defendant, the case was one in which the plaintiff ought to receive very ample compensation for the injuries lie had sustained. Abraham Baker, the convict's uncle, having proved the facts of the case, Mr. DUNDAS addressed the jury on the part of the de fendant. He denied that his client had been influenced by any such motives as those attributed to him by the learned counsel for the plaintiff. The defendant certainly thought the signature of Mr. Vickars a forgery, and it was for the purpose of ascertaining whether it was forged or genuine that he got the men to leave it at the bank. He then asked several persons in the town to look at the signature, and their con current testimony was, that it had been forged. The de fendant had never instructed the officers to arrest the men ; but the officers having heard that meu were going about with a forged petition, they proceeded to the bank and arrested them on their own responsibility. The learned counsel concluded by telling the jury that there was another action against the defendant at the present assizes, at the suit of the convict's uncle (Baker), and that both actions had been brought for the purpose of putting money into the pockets of the attorney in the case. The officers were accordingly examined, to prove that their instructions to arrest had not proceeded from the defendant. Mr. CRESSWELL replied. His LORDSHIP briefly charged the jury. If the defendant had given the instructions to arrest, the plaintiff would be entitled to damages ; if not, a verdict for the defendant ought to be returned. The jury, after an absence from court for upwards of an hour, found a verdict for the defendant. BURDEKIN, PUBLIC OFFICER, V. KNIGHT This was an undefended action, in which the plaintiff, a public officer belonging to the Manchester Bank, sought to recover the sum of £s4b from the defendant. Mr. Cresswell and Mr. Hoggins appeared for the plaintiff. Verdict for the plaintiff, for the amount claimed. WHITTAKER V. COCKCROFT, THE ELDER, AND ANOTHER This was an action brought by the plaintiff, James Whitta ker, against the defendants, George and Abraham Cockcroft, for the amount of two bills of exchange for £lB2. Counsel for the plaintiff, Mr. Brai;Cit ; for the defendant, Mr. Pashley. Verdict for the plaintiff, for the full amount. RILEY V. BROWN AND ANOTHER This was an action brought by the plaintiff, William Riley, a drysalter at Manchester, against the defendants, John Brown and William Burden, paper stainers at Stockport, for the recovery of the amount of a bill of exchange for £4B 17s. 6d., being the value of a parcel of Cochineal. Mr. Martin appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Watson for the defendant. _ AWFUL THUNDER-STORM (From the Second Edition of the Standard of Tuesday) At two o'clock this morning this town was visited by a a thunder-storm of more than usual violence, but providen tially of short duration. The preceding day had been fine throughout, with a freshness in the atmosphere by no means portending anything like the electric termination which fol lowed. Soon after ten'o'clock the sky became visibly over cast. and large thunder drops announced a decided change in the state of the weather. Several showers of this kind — accompanied with a tremendous fall of hail—fell before twelve, though neither severe nor lasting in their dura tion, with an occasional appearance of lightning and very distant thunder. Towards two o'clock, however, it threat ened more immediate collision with the town, and within a few minutes of that precise time, a most terrific clap of thunder announced a more decided attack on our re sidences ; the lightning of a pale blue cast first descended on the church of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields, striking the spire within a few feet of the top, dislodging a very considerable portion of the masonry, compared with the attenuated form of that portion of the building, so that thorough repair will be required at the summit. It gradually pursued its course downwards, dislodging stones and fragments of stones in its path, and 'sweeping with it in one instance a considerable portion of exterior ornament, finding its way out eventually at the roof. Although severely struck, however, the build ing itself, does not appear to have suffered material injury. The direction of the storm may be accurately marked by the damage it inflicted apparently at both extremities of its During the storm, the spire of St. Michael's Church, Pitt. street, was struck by the lightning, and the spiral part of the steeple was so much shattered that it will probably have to be pulled down and rebuilt, to the base of the cone, or at least to the lower loop-holes. The great probability is, (though some difference of opinion exists on the subject,) that the building was struck by the second great shock, or explosion of the electric fluid, at about twenty minutes past two o'clock. The clock hands on the south side of the steeple stopped at that hour, some stones having fallen amongst the works. The clock hands on the east side, how ever, are said to have indicated half-past one o'clock, when first seen this morning; but of this some doubt exists; and it is reasonable to suppose that the clock, at least, was not affected till the latter shock, otherwise the hands on the south side would not have gone on. The appearance of the spiral part of the steeple, particu larly on tht west and north-west sides, is alarming, a large rent or aperture in the masonry, with abrazion of the outer stone-work being apparent, in a winding or spiral direction down the cone, commencing about two-thirds its height from the base, and going more than half round the steeple. A large quantity of stone was dislodged from its position, and fell in large fragments, strewing the ground immediately round the steeple, and even the opposite street. The round mouldings, or outward groining of the corners of the oc tagonal spire are broken off to a great extent on the north and west, but those on the east and south-east appear to have sustained no injury. In one part of the rent, an entire stone or nearly so is forced out, leaving a large aperture which admits the light. The great height and shattered condition of the spire ren ders it necessary, for the public safety, to station policemen to prevent persons from passing that part of Pitt-street be tween Kent-street and Cornwallis-street. Our reporter, however, obtained admission to the interior of the church, and finally, accompanied by the clerk, ascended the steeple, walked on the roof of the church, and got into the bell-loft — the highest floor—to ascertain the damage. On the roof of the colonnade, on the north side, projecting continuously with the roof of the church from the base of the steeple, large fragments of stones are strewed about, and five large holes are made by others through the slates and woodwork, as if produced by cannon balls. A portion of the capital of one of the Corinthian columns in the upper story of the steeple, has imbedded itself in the lath-work under the roof. Several holes are also formed in the roof of the church on the same side by the stones that have fallen, and the rain has consequently come through the roof of the aisle, in several places. The electric fluid appears to have escaped from the steeple by the stone work immediately under the east clock, and close to the ridge of the church roof. Several stones are there much broken, and outwardly abrupted, as if caused by an explosion from w ithi n . I n th e i nter i or o f the steeple pieces of the broken stone from the spire above are thickly strewed in the bell loft. One of them, apparently of nearly a hundred weight, has, in its fall, struck the axle tree of the bell, and the strong frame in which it hangs. The bell, which is about one yard and a half in diameter at the mouth, was driven from its pendant position on one side of the frame work, and now rests, on that side, on the floor, surrounded by broken stones and rubbish. From this point the steeple was visible interiorly to its top. One of the huge stones in the western arched window of the bell-loft is loosened from its position, and considerably broken. There are also slight appearances of the electric fluid having here and there touched the stones in the interior of the tower ; but nothing of con sequence. The building generally, indeed, with the excep tion of the spiral part, may be considered uninjured. Scaf folding may, we think, be erected from the lower loop holes to take down and rebuild the top. It is somewhat remarkable that St. Michael's Church was closed for about six weeks prior to last Sunday, for the pur pose of being cleaned and re-painted. It is now necessary to announce, that owing to the dangerous state of the top of the spire in the event of a gale of wind, Divine Service will not be performed within it until further notice. The storm, as experienced by those on board ship in the river, was at once sublime ane terrific. Lieutenant Willson, commander H. M. S. Etna, lying in the Sloyne, describes the storm in a most interesting manner, but we have not room in our second edition to particularize. He states that the first terrific flash of lightning appea red to strike the Mer sey opposite the town, and the Etna vibrated from the mast head to the keel, so that all on board conceived for a moment that she was shaken to pieces. eh T pnrties on deck w ho kept his own watch) (including Captain Willson, lost their sight for several seconds, but on recovering found that no damage was done to the ship. The second flash appeared to evolve from the southern extremity of a dark cloud, and flashed from one end of the town to the other. This was probably the flash that struck both St. Michael's, in the south, and St. Martin is, n the north. The hail, intermingled with rain, came down with a weight and noise that threatened personal injury to those exposed to it ; and must, we fear, have thrashed down the crops in the fields, now approximating, and that has attained maturity. The wind during the storm ranged round the circuit of the compass, 'and the elemental commotion combined the gr an d and fearful. This afternoon the weather is again fine, with a breeze from the north-west. There does not appear to have been is minorr damage in flicted on our dwellings in its passage ; is certain, however, that the two chief calamities, by which two of our finest churches will probably be put to some troublesome, although not expensive repair, formed the boundnrieg of the storm, the short space of twenty minutes including the whole of its greatest fury. Such torrents of rain as accompanied it in its progress we are seldom called to witness. In the morn ing the rain was for a short time renewed with all its violence, with a mixture of hail. It is to be hoped, from the defined character of the storm over the town itself, that no more general effects were experienced from it with the he av y in other parts of the kingdom, or otherwise, blade which the present crops present, we fear it will be pro ductive of unusual damage to the agriculturist. We trust, however, and have reason to believe , tha t such was not the case, and that the crops will be spared a few weeks longer, when they will be safely secured, and deposited in the garner.

The duty on Wheat from Foreign ports was reduced on Friday 2s per quarter, on Flour Is :Aid per barrel, on Barley, Indian Corn, and Buck Wheat, and on Beans is 6d per quarter; and on Wheat and Flour from Canada the lowest duties were then payable of lid per quarter, and aid per barrel, as anticipated; very confident expectations continue that Foreign Wheat and Flour will be at their lowest duties in September, and thus a very large quantity of both articles remain locked up from public use, at present, though much wanted, and which, by the adoption of a fluctuating scale for an alteration in the present Corn Laws, frequently suggested by us, and in which we have hitherto seen no improve ment proposed,—would have been wholly released for home use at a duty of as per quarter and 2s 6d per barrel on Friday the 13th instant,—the aggregate average being then above 66s ;—but the duty is still 18s 8d per quarter, though our prices of fine Wheat are I Is to 12s per 70 lb. Reaping is very partially commenced in this district, but it is thought rather prematurely; and reports are not unfavourable as to quality or quantity ; harvest not expected to be general till the end of this month, though in the southern counties they are as usual a few weeks earlier than with us. During the past night we had a very severe thunder storm, and the rain fell in torrents, which must have done injury to the crops, though it is to be hoped it fell very partially ; in consequence of which a further decline was checked at this day's market, and sales to a fair extent were made of every article in the Corn trade at about the decline above mentioned, whilst many holders abstained from offering to sell; under such circumstances, capriciously fluc tuating witn every change of weather, quotations will vary, and it is no easy matter to state them correctly—which we endear our to do in our prices current below.

The corn trade has been very languid, and but a very limited business passing during the past week, especially for that under bond, which may be noted fully 4s per qr. lower than on the few sales made. SALFORD CATTLE MAKKET, AUG. 25 Although these was a better show of beasts to-day, yet good Beef could not be bought for less money than it was last week, and all prime qualities were readily sold. Of Sheep too the supply was fully an average, yet the same remarks apply to Mutton as to Beef, and prices did not vary from those of last market day. Of Lambs the supply was fair, chiefly from Yorkshire and Ireland, especially from the latter, and which found buyers at last week's rates. A few Sheep and Lambs unsold. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, AUG. 21 The demand to-day is only moderate, say . to the extent of 2,000 bales, at similar prices to yesterday. The complaints from the manufacturin g districts are loud and long of the badness of the trade, and the almost necessity laid upon them for closing their establishments in toto. COTTON MARKET, AUGUST 25. We cannot notice any change either in the tone or feeling of our market to-day the demand is but moderate and the supply only seasonable, so that there is no material pressure upon it. Buyers merely supply their immediate wants, in full expectation of a fur ther decline in prices, when the consumption decreases as they alledge it must considerably do, the bulk of the spinners not in tending to light up. The day's business is estimated at 3000 tc 3500 bales. COTTON MARKET, AUGUST 26. The weather has been beautifully fine, and the Sun's heat seems to have subdued the wonted liveliness of our market, for business has dragged itself along to-day with considerably difficulty, not more than 2000 to 2500 bales have been sold at prices much on a par with those obtained previously this week, in some instances probably a shade lower. We want some thundering orders to rouse the dormant state of trade, and to banish the midnight torpor that prevades every thing. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, AUG. 24 (From the Circulur of Messrs. James Scott 4- Son.) Since Tuesday last the supplies of Oats and Oatmeal from Ire land, and of Wheat and Flour from Canada, have been pretty con siderable.
