THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, TUESDAY, AUGUST 17, 1852 Kibtrpoot tAr a rb. is a genuine " or the old block," and is every indi a sailor." He and the PRINCESS ROYAL were in ecstacies during the rough transit ; and the louder blew the wind and the fiercer lashed the waves, the more OM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT delighted did they seem. The mariners of England may indeed well be proud of these Royal children, who, in the midst of the tempest, seemed to cry exultingly, " Our path is on the mountain waves, Our home is on the deep." On Wednesday next the QUEEN will hold a Privy Council at Osborne, when Parliament will be further prorogued. It is not likely that the day for the meeting of the despatch of public business will then be fixed ; so that those who love to speculate whether members will be summoned to attend in October or November, will still have room for the exercitation of their conjectures. I believe that the beginning of November will be the time ; but we must be content to wait a little longer in suspense .---...-- Monday Morning. THAT day for which the youth, the prime, and the green old manhood of England sighs during nine months in the year—the glorious twelfth of August—has come. The day, big with the fate of grouse in particular, and of the feathered tribe in general, has arrived in the midst of thun der and of lightning, of hail, of rain, of wind, and of all the pleasing varieties of tempest, snow alone excepted, which this delightful climate of ours can command. When I say that the morning of the 12th of August has dawned, I say enough to give the initiated a comprehen sive and bird's-eye view of HER BRITANNIC Mn metropolis, its social state and aspect. It is superfluous on this point. Lord FfIANKFORD has again been up before the police, cutting a most disreputable figure. The course of life which this unfortunate man has pursued for a long time is a disgrace to manhood, and an outrage on :public morality. The most charitable construction that can be put on his proceedings is, that they are dictated by a disordered brain. That he is a fit subject for a lunatic asylum can hardly be doubted ; but that his disease of mind has been induced by depraved habits is abundantly evident. to remark, that every man Jack in this fine gamecock country is a sportsman by nature, nurture, and name, and that consequently we are at this moment all off to the There may be a sort of legal fiction involved in the assertion, but as sure as that " the King can do no moors wrong," that "there is no injury without its remedy," or any other equally incontrovertible fact, we—that is, the gentlemen and gents of England —are every one of us just now deep in the moors, blazing away like fun, and bagging our enemies in braces with a rapidity that defies arithmetic —and what is more, with the cannibal determination to eat all we can kill. Every fellow who has a gun, and every fellow who has a brother or friend who has a gun, and every fellow who has a benevolent "uncle" who keeps a gun on purely lending principles, and every fellow who an bec• _g, borrow, or procure a gun, is realiy, and truly Jodily, , and bona fide off somewhere, popping at some thing ; if at grouse, well and good, if not at torn ' house sparrows, and robin redbreasts. Every fellow who is without a gun or the means of getting the use of one, is in spirit and imagination away among the heather, knocking down his birds, though but in fancy, with perhaps greater zest and rapidity than those who literally are at the work. Thus, since the long looked for morn of the 12th peeped through the curtain of the night—and a shocking wet blanket it was—our man hood has betaken itself to the shooting-boxes of the north, and London is left to the guardianship of its old women and cats. It may be objected by some hypercritic that, unless I class myself among the oh] women or the cats, I must myself be out of town ; but that objection is easily disposed of. In civilised society, when you desire your servant to say you are not at home, nobody (unless those most unreasonable of all talking beings, duns and bailiffs, rascals not to he mentioned to ears polite) thinks of gainsaying the assertion ; so, after the 12th of August, if you shut up your house, and desire your man to say you are gone " to the north," or to any place you choose with a game-sounding name, no Christian will ever question the fact, though you may be in sober reality (as I am) driving a goose-quil in your study, instead of pep pering grouse on the moors. Should any be found incre dulous or uncivilised enough to doubt the assertion of your man, you have only to order him to go to the next poulterer's shop, and obtain a hamper of game fresh up, and to deliver it with " master's compliments," and that will convince the most unbelieving London being thus deserted—its gentlemen and gents eing beating up the grouse, or supposed to be so em. lved—its non-shooting aristocracy be' `larbo "trighton, Hastings, and ot' ng at S her modish m .atering places, trying " to repose their wearied virtue" after the labours of the season—its more adventurous spirits being gone to the gold diggings, or touring it over the beaten tracks of the locomotive world, mayhap undergoing the delightful sensations caused by a grand smash in a rail way train, or a tremendous collision between two steam boats on the river, or a magnificent conflagration at sea, or any other of the prevailing fashionable catastrophes— its shopocracy being a holidaying it at Gravesend, Mar gate, and Ramsgate, and working through an indefati- gable course of purification, by means of daily scrubbings with coarse sand and coarser Baden-Baden towels—HEß MAJESTY and the Court being away in " Faderland," luxuriating on saur kraut, vinegar -flavoured small-beer, and similar German delicacies—the bench and the bar being a-starring it in the provinces preparatory to the long vacation, and the quiet enjoyment of the customary ocean-cum-dig in the yellow sands, by the salt sea-shore. — London, I say, being thus deserted, there is not much to be said or sung about her. Nevertheless, though " depo pulated," she contains still a couple of millions of wan derers over her desert nlarisq_ skral theroftwa v 1 ,30- is firma and thought here is still of some little importance. By the way, I must except from the general charge of desertion one class of citizens—the Jews and jobbers, alias the bulls and bears. They have not left the city, but are just now in awful force, and in fact have absolute possession of every thing. The crafty tribe have been making money while others were at play, and have been banging the markets like fun, and making fortunes like winking, at the expense of the timorous fools who have allowed them- selves to be frightened by stock exchange lies. The world ever was and ever will be composed of two sorts of animals—those who prey upon others, and those who are preyed upon. At this moment, the " bears" of the Stock Exchange are the rampant lions (pardon the " bull") of our metropolitan wilderness ;—they have the game almost all to themselves, and they are making a regular aldermanic feast of it. But the time will soon come when they must submit, in turn, to the process of being de voured, and already a couple of the most adventurous fellows have been swallowed up—body, bones all ; and will, I opine, follow in due course.

His charge to the grand jury at Liverpool the other day, in which—while complimenting Mr. BLUNDELL for his decorous and sensible abstinence from every act of Romish presumption—he rebuked the imper tinence and arrogant impudence of the Roman Catholic Sheriff of Buckinghamshire, was worthy of the Chief Justice of Protestant England, and has given great satis faction here. I believe his lordship got such a sickening of Romanism, in all its moods and tenses, when he made his late celebrated visit to the Vatican, that he is now as determined an enemy to the POPE, the College of Car dinals, and the Propaganda, as he was before favourably disposed towards them. However that be, he his done good service lately, and, therefore, all hail Lord CAMP. —lf you would only cut the Whigs, you would be BELL! CO3IMERCIAL AND MONETARY NEWS. MONDAY NIGHT. BUSINESS during the past week has been consi derably influenced—in part by considerations con nected with the United States, and in part by fears entertained for the safe gathering of the harvest. The former question, it is understood, has been amicably arranged between Mr. Lawrence, the American charge, in London, and the Government. Whether this is the fact or not, the advices received from the United States by the royal mail steamer America are regarded as sheaving that a satisfactory arrangement will be arrivcd at. The change in the weather since Thursday is removing any serious rears for the harvest. The potato crop, in parti cular, is found to be less injured than was antici pated. It will he seen that there is a further decrease in the Bullion of the Bulk of England. This is now generally attributed to the shipments of coin to Australia. The return from the Bank of England for the week ending the 7th August gives the following re sults when compared with the previous week : Public deposits £3,823,713; Increase £628.561 Other deposits .. 13.885,973; Decrease 620,801 Rest .. 3,285,396; Increase 86,272 On the other side of the account — Government securities £13,790,720; The same as before.

Until Friday prices continued to decline, chiefly, however, from specu lative sales and the heavy rains. On that day, when the weather assumed a more settled appear ance, a decided check was given to the fall, and prices generally advanced 1 to 4 per cent. all round. The full extent of this rise :has not been main tained up to this evening, from an apprehension of some disasters on the account day ; but should this go off well, and the weather remain good, there ap pears little doubt but that we shall have an active market and higher prices.

Since Friday, the SUGAR market has been neglected, no transactions having taken place; and we have nothing to notice in MOLASSES. A few puns. of Jamaica and 30 puns.

There is rather more activity in the TEA market, and a fair amount of business has been concluded at previous rates. 650 bags SALT PETRE have changed hands at 25s to 28s 6d per cwt. for 10 to 3 per cent. refraction. We have also to notice 1300 bags SAGO FLOUR at 14s 6d, 150 bales GANIBIER at 18s, 300 slabs Straits' TIN at 85s per cwt., 150 bales JUTE at £lO 10s, 100 tons BARWOOD at £2 12s 6d, and 10 tons SAPAN WOOD at £l2 per ton. COTTON.—In Cotton there has again been a large business doing, and prices are the turn dearer. American crop is over ; the stock is now held in this port, and spinners, exporters, and speculators must come here for it. This is well understood with those connected with this large staple article of commerce. The transactions as made up for Friday's circular were 58,750 bales, of which specu• lators took 16,340, exporters 5,110, and spinners 44,317. The increased disposition evinced to pur chase Cotton on Friday occasioned business to be prolonged to a later period of the day than usual, and the total sales amounted to 20,000 bales ; the demand was resumed on Saturday with still greater activity, and 25,000 bales are reported to have changed hands, of which one-half is estimated to be chiefly on speculation ; tc-day the transactions have been more moderate, the sales being about 12,000 bales, including 5,000 on speculation and for export, at the extreme currency of Friday last. The mar ket closes with an upward tendency, and ill supplied. Compared with Friday's rates, prices of American are id. to Id. dearer ; Surat 1-16 d., a very proper Lord Chief Justice. and everything else unchanged.

POST-OFFI CIE ROBBERS ES.—An important case will come before the police court this morning, in which a letter carrier of the Liverpool postoffice is charged with pur loining sums of money, articles of jewellery, Ste. The case was expected to have come on yesterday, but Inspec tor Murphy (who has charge of it) did not reach town with some important witnesses in the case in time for a hearing. We also undertand that Mr. Bales, the inspector of the letter carriers, has another case in hand, relating to a letter posted so long back as August, 1851, from which a £2O Bank of England note was abstracted. One half of the note has been obtained, and no doubt the guilty party will be traced. Royal (in her twelfth year !)—to consult her uncle as to whether she should throw the weight of her influence in the Free Trade or Protective scale—these are a few of the motives sagaciously assigned. 'Tis strange that the most natural proceeding in life—a little marine excursion and a visit to a near relation, should be tortured to something mysterious and crooked. But idle people with heated incies must see wonderful sights in the plainest matter ' facts proceedings, and quid mines must extract a little litical gossip out of every event, great or small. One ig is remarkable in this last little cruise : the Ocean bas place n t and obedient as he was wont to the )cean Queen. On the contrary, he acted.as a most disloyal vassal, and was as turbulent and ill-behaved as he could possibly be. However, HER MAJESTY, like a true Empress of the Seas, was not to be daunted by the Ocean's frowns, and so on she went regardless of roaring winds and lashing waves. She was on her own dominion—in her own element, and she bore herself indeed like a Princess born TENTS FOR AUSTRALIA.—During the past week several tents, of novel design, and most of them differing in form, have been exhibited in the vicinity of the town. A neat and comfortable portable house, for about a dozen, has been pitched in Seacombe gardens. It is of excellent material, and, at the cost, most commodious. It was made by Mr. Lambert, of the Goree-piazzas.—On Satur day a large one, with a double canvas roof, was put up at Rock-ferry; it is forty-two feet lout, and when divided, forms the various apartments required for domestic com fort. It reflects much credit on Mr. King, the maker. To-day a number of Pigot's Tents are to be shown at the Zoological Gardens. SMUGGLING}.—Henry Boyle, a gentlemanly-looking man, who was a passenger by the steamer America, which had arrived in the river about an hour previous, was charged by an excise officer with smuggling 11b. 6oz. of foreign manufactured cigars and tobacco.

TherainE of WALES After evidence had been called to establish the above Mr. Monk addressed the jury on behalf of Drummond and Platt. He said this was an unfortunate affair, arising out of what was called " larking," and which had unfor tunately terminated in the loss of life to a fellow-creature. That death might have resulted from a blow given by Drummond, under irritation produced by the offensive words made use of by the unfortunate Mr. Saxon. With respect to Platt, he had, it was shown in evidence, inter fered simply in the preservation of Mr. Saxon. Weldon declined to address the jury. The - prisoners Drummond and . Weldon were found guilty, but Platt ws►s acquitted. The two first-named prisoners were sentenced to one month's imprisonment. MANSLAUGHTER William Shaw, 43, was indicted for having, at Cul cheth, killed and slain William Thomason, on the 23d of June. Mr. Taylor prosecuted, and Mr. Surtees appeared for the prisoner. On the day stated in the indictment, the prisoner was disputing with a young woman in a lane at Culcheth ; the deceased interposed, and this led to a quarrel between the two men, who struck at each other. The deceased, who as well as the prisoner was in liquor, fell to the ground. He got up again, but again fell without any blow being given, and his head came in contact with the stones on the road. The evidence of the surgeon in the case Ras that death was attributable to the rupture of a blood vessel, which might have arisen from intoxication, combined with the struggle, but that the same result might have been oc- Cannon, whose voluntary kind offi?es I think we must both acknowledge, that you have been grossly deceived by Mr. Grundy. Now, I have no hesitation in saying that Grundy is a scoundrel and a liar. He told me dis tinctly, in the presence, of Mr. Pankhurst, that he knew nothing about plants, and would not put a value upon them ; that he would send some gardener, whose name I forget ; and that he was instructed not to value crops. In addition, he declared to Pankhurst he knew nothing of Fisher's valuation, whereas it so happens Pankhurst saw Fisher's figures in Grundy's hands. Aro I not right, therefore, in saying he is a liar ? I like to call things by their right names, Then, he has been the cause of a quarrel where no quarrel should have ever arisen ; and, therefore, am I not right in saying he is a scoundrel ? But now to business, if there is any to be done. Mr. Pank burst's valuation of furniture, hot-house buildings, plants, cattle, crops, &c., &c., Sze.. is £BSI 17s. Gd. From this sum I will take off £5O. I will not allow any other party to interfere. I will not be at one shilling additional expense. As to leaving anything to Mr. Bradshaw, I would leave my existence in his hands ; but I have too much respect for him to place him in a disagreeable position. Believing, as I do, that you have been deceived by Mr. Grundy, and that you have made observations which you would not otherwise have done, I beg to ex press my desire to withdraw any expressions of mine that might be considered personally offensive to yourself.—l am your obedient servant, " THOS. CAPES " To J. A. Hobson, Esq." The learned Counsel then commented in severe terms on the conduct of the defendant in still justifying his ma licious libel, which he should prove by Mr. Hobson and by the plaintiff, and others, to be utterly devoid of truth, and to have had its origin only in the malignant disposi tion and uncontrollable temper of the defendant. The learned Counsel then called three witnesses who supported his opening statement, the plaintiff himself being but briefly cross-examined by Mr. Sergent Wil kins. In this cross-examination, in reference to having seen Fisher's valuation, he denied that Pankhurst, the valuer for Mr. Capes, on this point had told him "he was like a harp struck with lightning ;" or vulgarly translated—" a blasted lyre." (Loud laughter.) Mr. Serjeant WILKINS, in reply, remarked that, from beginning to end,this action had for its sole object, money, and vindictive damages. They had been told that this attack on poor Mr. Grundy was calculated to make his life unendurable. What a philosopher and stoic Mr. Grundy must be Why, did they think such was likely to be the case with the Grundy who had been put in the box that day No such thing I He was a fine, strong, hale-looking man, who did not evince any peculiar sensi tiveness of feeling, but who, he thought the jury would be of opinion,had been led into this scrape by his acquaint ance, Mr. Hobson, who, under the mask of befriending Mr. Grundy, had taken all the opportunity he could to villify and injure Mr. Capes. He asked the jury to look at this case like men of common sense and business habits. Mr. Capes, it appeared, liked to call things by their right names ; lie liked to call a wheelbarrow a wheelbarrow ; and if a man told him a lie he liked to call him, what every man would call him,—a liar. But if Mr. Capes had adopted the policy of a certain noble lord, who (de sirous of conveying a similar impression to the mind of an acquaintance not over-fond of the truth,) had said, " Sir, (Mr. Grundy,) you are postponing the interests of truth to the expediency of the moment," (laughter), they would never have heard of this paltry action here. Mr. Capes, too, justified himself further; for he said Mr.. Grundy had told him a lie, and by that lie had created a difference between Mr. Hobson and himself, and therefore he was warranted in calling such a man a scoundrel. Mr. Hobson ought to have put the letter in the fire, instead of posting off with it to Grundy, and persuading him to bring an action. They all knew, however, of the anecdote of a certain "wise person" who was once "called an ass;" but not content with simply being called an ass, he blus tered out, "' Write me down, an ass ;" and it was fairly to be inferred that some such influence had been at work in this instance. The learned advocate concluded by calling on the jury to award the least valuable coin known in this realm, which would be ample, if not more than sufficient to satisfy the justice of the case. Verdict for the plaintiff, damages 40s. THE QUEEN V. THE INHABITANTS OF HAUGHTON In this case, tried at the last assizes, the question was whether a certain length of road, between Stockport and Manchester, was in the township of Denton or of Haugh ton.—Verdict for the defendants, with leave to move to enter for the crown, on a special case. UPSETTING OF A LORRY JOHN POWNALL /7. WILLIAM BARNBY.—In this case the plaintiff was a collecting clerk and commission agent at Manchester, and the defendants carriers at the same place. Mr. Sergeant Wilkins said, the action was brought to recover damages for injuries sustained by the plaintiff by the upsetting of a lorry laden with calicoes, Sec., in Water-street, through the negligence of the de fendant's servant. As soon as the case was opened, Mr. Attorney-General Knowles, for the defendants, said he did not think he could resist the action, and a verdict for £35 was returned by consent. VERDICTS BY CONSENT. Jenkinson v. Roe; and Miller v. Dutton THE BRAZILIAN PONY CASE AND THE POLICE THOMAS MELLOR V. PETER WILLIAM LEATHER AND RODERT CLOUGH Mr. Sergeant Wilkins and Mr. Birnie for the plaintiff; Mr. Hugh Hill, Q.C., for Mr. Leather, and Mr. James, Q.C., and Mr. Millward for Mr. Clough. Mr. Serjeant WILKINSI- said the plaintiff in this action is a merchant residing in this town, and in 1849 hebought a cream-coloured pony in Brazil, and in the spring of 1850 he had it brought from Pernambuco to Liverpool. The voyage, it seemed, somewhat disordered the animal, not being accustomed to the agitation of the sea, and when he landed he was not in good condition. Mr. Balmer, a livery stable keeper, West Derby, was then sent for, and he recommended that a veterinary surgeon, Mr. Middle hurst, should be called in. The result was the pony re covered and was again brought out, being an object of great and general admiration. In a short time after, however, the pony became again unwell, and was a second time placed under the care of the parties above re ferred to. Bulmer, it appeared, had a brother-in law named Harker. who proposed that the animal should be turned out in a straw yard in Wales, to which the plaintiff consented, and it was understood that arrangement would be carried out. Some time after this, Bulmer went to Mellor with a very doleful countenance, told him the pony was dead, but that he would take him to the tan-yard, and send the owner one of his feet to keep in remembrance of this very valuable animal. He (the Counsel) must do justice to Mr. Bulmer, and say he had acted bona fide in the matter, and had consequently taken this intelligence to the plaintiff. A short time after, Bulmer met L .ather, a surgeon apothecary, and from him he learnt that the pony was not dead, but that he (Leather) possessed him, having bought him of a Scotch Sam, or Scotch Peter, a person of the name of Cameron. Thus, the jury would see that the plaintiff had been most shame fully imposed upon by Harker, Leather, and the gentle man known as Scotch Peter. Beyond all question the pony was still the property of the plaintiff; he had never given him away or sold him, and had merely lost sight of him, from the belief that he was dead as had been repre sented to him. The plaintiff then saw Leather, who ad mitted he had the pony, that it was Mellor's, but that he must first have the sum of thirty guineas before he would give it up. TO this Mellor strongly objected as most unreasonable, but as Leather said he' had been at much expense with the animal, having given it a good deal of quinine, he had no objection to make him a pre sent of £lO, with the distinct understanding that he did not waive any right to the possession of the horse. Mel lor was then advised to get possession of the pony as he could ; and he authorised Harrison, a bailiff, to get pos session. Bulmer accompanied Harrison to Mrs. Bur roughs', Brunswick-road, and then took the pony to his stables in West Derby, about four miles from Liverpool, and beyond the boundaries of the borough. By the order of Mr. Clough, Patrick, one of the detective force, appre hended Bulmer and Harrison, in West Derby ; and sub sequently the pony was ordered by Mr. Mansfield to be delivered up to Mr. Leather, the charge of felony having been dismissed. t Mr. JAMBS, a f t na e otw r e : e re evidence in thehs a t s d eillei b izas e ir n e eng n l ed g teh i tvs Serjeant,. mnr property e i r n a. nc s r u l, o p so g p u o bhi r . o d m f o i t t t i t h e e e s d , t and ne openingrde f w u a l l s s y t n who was acting only in the dischar ge o f hi s or di nary n West Derby, by the provisions of the municipal corpora tion act. This legal point gave rise to a prolonged dis cussion between the counsel on either side, and resulted in his lordship's directing the case to proceed. Mr. flows HILL, Q.C., addressed the jury at con siderable length for the defendant, Mr. Leather, and urged that the only question for them to decide was, whether his client made a bona fide purchase of the pony. if he did, not being aware any fraudulent means had been used in getting possession of the animal, the property was his, and no one else had any lien upon it. His case was this : Harker received the pony frona, Bulmer, in tending to send it to Wales, with the understanding that if it recovered, it was to be returned to Mellor on pay ment of £5. The pony g-ot worse ; and, under the ad vice of Mr. Middlehurst, directions were given to his broker to see that it was destroyed. Before this took place, young Middlehurst came in contact with Peter Ca meron, and sold the pony for 205., and from thatperson Mr. Leather bought it for 305., intending , to make some expe riments on it, and if he did not succeed he meant to pre serve the skeleton for anatomical purposes. Under his treatment, however, the pony regained strength ; and, having made a bon fide. purchase of it, he made no con cealment, even to the plaintiff, as to the transaction. Mr. JAMES addressed the jury on the legal point that in this case a replevin did not lie as against Mr. Clough, and he urged the hardship and injustice on that officer if he were to be visited with punishment for the mere due discharge of his duty as an officer, which, had he neglected, would be subjecting hiss to a very severe reprimand from his employers. The testimony given by the witnesses on either side was of the most painfully conflicting nature. Mr, Serjeant WILKINS replied on the whole case, and The learned Judge, in summoning up, said this case had occupied a very long time, but really the only question for their consideration, as it appeared to him,was, whether they were satisfied the plaintiff had given any authority to Harker or Bulmer to sell the horse. If they did, then there case a • , and that if they Harker thoughth had ithat fraudno such dis posed san doubt, in point of law, the pl a i n tiff was given, was entitled to their verdict. Because , it was a mistake, in his judgment to say , if property were sold without the authoritywauf end it, t o f then th e no consent of the true owner, that owner could not maintain his action. If they found for the plaintiff, his lordship also left it to them to say what amount of compensation he was to receive. The horse was bought in South Ame rica for £27, but it was evident had greatly deterioratel in value since its arrival in this country. The learned Judge remarked with respect to the conduct of Mr. Clough, he considered he had only done as he was bound to do by law, when a charge of felony was laid before him ; but if he had omitted to avail himself of the privileges which the law allowed him for his protection in pleading, it was unfortunate for him, and his own fault. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, damages £2O. This amount his Lordship reduced to £3, in accordance with the pleadings, giving the plaintiff liberty to move to increase it to £2O. Leave was also given to Mr. James to move on several special legal grounds in the pas@ of Mr. Clough. The Court rose at a quarter to nine o'clock. LIVERPOOL ASSIZES. (Continued frotn 2 age 6) CROWN COURT—YESTERDAY. Lord Campbell took his seat at nine o'clock ROBBERY FROM POST LETTERS. John Morgan, 28, and Michael Oldfield, 43, were charged, the first-named prisoner with having, he being in the employ of the Post-office authorities, stolen from a post letter, one £5O bank note, one £2O note, and one £5 note, the property of the Postmaster-General ; and the prisoner Oldfield with feloniously receiving the £2O note, knowing the same to have been stolen. Mr. Adolphus prosecuted. The prisoners were without counsel. - The facts of the case having been fully given at the time of the robbery, the following outline will suffice to recall to mind the circumstances. On the 17th of February last a gentleman named Hoyle, connected with a commercial house at Halifax, inclosed the notes enumerated in a letter addressed to Messrs. Glendenning and Wilson, of James street, in this town. Amongst the notes was one for £2O, numbered 41,733, and dated the 22d of January. Mr. Hoyle gave the letter to an Edward Crowther, who posted the letter at Halifax, on the same day. The letter was in the usual way transmitted in the post-bag to Liverpool, and received by John Blake, a clerk in the Liverpool Post-office, on the morning of the 18th of February ; he opened it, and the letters ware delivered to the carriers for delivery. The letters not arriving at Messrs. Glenden ning and Wilson's, an inquiry was instituted, and the mat ter placed in the hands of Inspector Bates, of the Liver pool force. Mr. John Bales, superintendent of the letter carriers at Liverpool, stated that the letter, in the usual course, would go into the hands of Morgan for delivery, he being the carrier of the district in which James-street was situate.—Mr. James Collins deposed that he received the £2O note from Mr. Anthony O'Donnell, who received it from Charles Wallar, who had obtained it from Mr. William Whittle, feather-bed manufacturer, of this town. Mr. Whittle deposed that on the 12th of March the note come into his hands from the prisoner Oldfield, who gave it in payment for two beds and other articles. Oldfield, at the time of this transaction, stated that he wanted one of the beds from another person, and he (Mr. Whittle) afterwards saw part of his bedding in the house of the prisoner Morgan.—James Phillips, a carter, stated that on the 12th of March, the prisoner Morgan came to him on the stand, and hired his cart, giving directions that he was to go to Mr. Whittle's shop, where he would see a tall man (the prisoner Oldfield). The bedding was placed in the cart, and the two prisoners and he called at a public-house in Tithebarn-street, where they drank to gether, and afterwards they went to another public house in Great Howard-street, and ultimately the goods were conveyed to Oldfield's house, at Seaforth, where they were delivered. Inspector Bates took Oldfield into custody on the 31st of March, Morgan having been apprehended on the 24th of the same month. At Mor gan's house a portion of the goods purchased from Mr. Whittle were found. Subsequently to being taken into custody, Morgan sent for Bates, and told him that there was another party in the robbery, from whom he (Morgan) had received the £2O note. The prisoners being called upon for their defence, Morgan said he had received the note from another person connected with the Post-office, and that he had not abstracted it from a letter. Oldfield denied any guilty participation in the transaction. The jury immediately found both prisoners guilty. His LORDSHIP, in passing sentence, told Morgan that he had been found guilty, on the clearest evidence, of a most heinous offence, having stolen a post letter and divided the contents with the other prisoner. Oldfield appeared to be equally culpable, and it was necessary, in order to suppress the prevalence of such offences, and to give confidence to the public in the postal system, that a very severe punishment should be imposed. The prisoners were each sentenced to ten years' transportation. Thomas George Sutton, a respectably-dressed young man, aged 17 years, pleaded guilty to having, on the 26th of June, stolen a post letter, containing half a sovereign, and on the 29th of June stolen one other letter containing a sixpence. The prisoner had been in the employ of a letter receiving house in Liverpool, and had availed him self of the position he held to purloin the letters and abstract their contents.—Witnesses were called who de. posed to the previous general good character of the pri soner.—Lord CAMPBELL, in passing sentence, said the offence was an exceedingly serious matter, and the evi dence was clear against the prisoner; and, what was worse, the facts led to the assumption that he had been guilty of several similar cases ; but on account of his (the prisoner's) youth, and his previous good character, with the contrition which he had expressed, he (the Judge) should not inflict so heavy a sentence as otherwise he should have done.—The prisoner was ordered to one year's imprisonment, with hard labour. STREET-ROBBERY AT WARRINGTON Charles Maguire, 26, James Fay, 21, John Davies. 21, and Mary Noon, 20, were indicted for having, at War rington, on the 2nd of June last, feloniously assaulted and with violence robbed John Williams of a purse containing half a crown, sixpence, and other property. Mr. Owens prosecuted ; Mr. Ross defended Maguire. The other prisoners were without counsel. The prosecutor is a groom residing at Delamere Forest. On the day in question he was at Warrington, and at night met with the female prisoner in one of the streets of the town; and at her solicitation accompanied her into an entry. The male prisoners came up shortly afterwards, seized upon him, and violently stole his property. The defence of Mr. Rass, for Maguire, was, that the evidence left a doubt on the point of his personal identity. This, in fact, was the defence of the other male pri soners, and Noon admitted that they had been in company with the prosecutrix. but she denied all participation in the ieiony._ . _ . _ The jury retired to deliberate on their verdict, and after an absence of about twenty miplutes, returned with a ver dict of guilty against all the men, but acquitted Noon. The men were each transported for ten years. BURGLARY AT MANCHESTER Thomas Moore, 21, was indicted for a burglary in the dwelling-house of James Anderson, of Manchester, in July last.—Mr. Higgin prosecuted. The prisoner was without counsel. The circumstances of this case possessed not the slightest interest. On the night of the day stated in the indictment, the prosecutor's house was feloniously entered and wearing apparel and other articles stolen. The prisoner subsequently gave the articles to another person to pledge. The prisoner was found guilty, and a previous conviction for felony proved against him. There were two other indictments against the prisoner for burglary, but his lordship thought it unnecessary to proceed with them. The prisoner was sentenced to ten years' transportation. ROBBERY AND ASSAULT. George Phillips, 42, was indicted for having, on the 17th July last, at Manchester, along with two other parties unknown, feloniously assaulted James Thinkwater, and with great violence stolen from his person a sovereign and a sixpence. Mr. Milne prosecuted, and Mr. Macoubrey defended the prisoner. On Saturday night, the 17th July, between eleven and twelve o'clock, the prosecutor, who is an old man, was passing home along Deansgate, Manchester. On his way he met with the prisoner, whom he had previously known. The prisoner asked the prosecutor if he would pay for a pint of ale, and the prosecutor consenting to do so, the prisoner proposed that they should go to a public-house called " The Dyer's Arms," and they accordingly pro ceeded there together. Here they met with two other men. The prosecutor, not liking the house, left, being closely followed by the prisoner and the other men. As he was proceeding onwards, the prosecutor was seized hold of from behind by the prisoner, who• held him whilst the other men robbed him of his property. The defence set up was, that inasmuch as there rested some doubt as to the prisoner's identity, he was entitled to an acquittal. The jury, after retiring from court for twenty minutes, found the prisoner guilty.—The prisoner was sentenced to ten years' transportation. BURGLARY. Thomas Williams, 20, was indicted for having burgle riouslv entered the dwelling-house of Mary Stuart, at Manchester. Mr. Hodge prosecuted. The prisoner was not defended. The prosictitrix resides in Albion.st eet, Manchester., On the night of the 17th of July, a pers, n na ned Gledhill was passing along the street in which the house of Mrs. Stuart is situate, when he observed the prisoner and ano ther man standing near to the house of the prosecutrix one of them lifted up the cellar grid, and the prisoner entered. Gledhill went up, replaced the grating over the cellar mouth, gave an alarm, and the prisoner was cap tured in the cellar, the other man having run away. Some clothes had been removed from a basket in one part of the cellar and placed in another. The prisoner, in his defence, said the cellar grid had given way with him on walking across it, and that he had been accidentally precipitated below. The prisoner was found guilty. He was sentenced to be imprisoned one year in the county gaol and kept to hard labour. MALICIOUSLY CUTTING AND WOUNDING William Jenkins, 41, was indicted for having feloniously stabbed, cut, and wounded Alice Jenkins, his wife, with intent to murder her, to disable, or to do her grievous bodily harm. _ _ _ _ _ Mr. Raffles prosecuted. The prisoner was without counsel. _ The prisoner and his wife resided in a room in Cannon street. Salford. On the 21st of June the prisoner was drinking at a beer-house, and prosecutrix went to fetch him home. On the way, he made use of angry words towards her. When at home, she wished him to partake of some tea, which he refused to do. He then sent a boy, the son of prosecutrix by a former husband, out of the room. After the lad had gone out, the prisoner said, " Now, what could Ido if I thought proper ? Who is there here to hinder me ?" She replied, " There is no one here to hinder thee, but I hope thou is not going to do anything." The prisoner then turned round towards a table, upon which there was a knife, seized the weapon, and struck her a blow on the lower part of the cheek, which inflicted a deep wound of three inches in length. His LORDSHIP here intimated to Mr. Raffles that he thought the case could not be carried beyond the charge of unlawfully wounding. The prisoner was found guilty of this offence, and he was ordered to be imprisoned for the space of three months. SINGULAR CASE OF MANSLAUGHTER James Drummond, James Weldon, and William Platt, three respectably-dressed young men, were indicted for having, at Manchester, killed and slain Benjamin Holding Saxon. Mr. Wheeler prosecuted, and Mr. Monk defended Drummond and Platt. Weldon was without counsel. About eight o'clock on the night of the 17th of July last, the three prisoners were engaged in teasing and strik ing a boy of weak intellect, named Walsh, in Lloyd-street, Hulme. The boy ran down an entry, and a neighbour came out of his shop to ascertain what was the matter, The deceased, .who was a grocer in the neighbourhood, also came out of his shop, stood at the top of the passage, and asked the other shopkeeper whether the prisoners were pickpockets. Upon this the prisoners began to assail Mr. Saxon. One of them struck him a blow on the back of the neck, the consequence of which was to cause him to fall forward. Mr. Saxon got up, but almost ho. mediately again fell backwards, but whether from the ef fects of a second blow or from the injuries of the first fall did not clearly appear. Mr. Saxon was raised up, wh en it was ascertained that life was extinct. The prisoners ran away, but were subsequently apprehended. casioned by a fall Mr. Surtees then addressed the jury for the pri soner, and submitted to them—first, whether it had been satisfactorily proved that death had arisen from any act of the prisoner ; and, nest, if death did so arise, did they not think the blow given by the prisoner, he having been first struck by the deceased, was not given in self. defence. The jury found the prisoner guilty. He was sentenced to one week's imprisonment. BIGAMY Newsham, a middle-aged man, was indicted for having, on the Ist of February last, intermarried with Sarah Seddon, his former wife being still alive. The two marriages being proved in evidence, the prisoner was found guilty, and sentenced to one month's imprisonment. The court rose a little after six o'clock. TRUE DILLS FOR MURDER During the day a true bill was found against Alice Shand for the murder of her infant child at Liverpool, and also against John Dozed, for murder at Liverpool. A THIRD COURT In order to facilitate the business, a third court will sit this (Tuesday) morning in the Sheriff's court. Mr. Bliss, Q.C., will preside. ♦ NISI PRIUS COURT—YESTERDAY. (Before Mr. Justice WIGHTNIAN.) The court was opened at a few minutes past nine o'clock this morning EASTHANT PROVERTI In the three several actions of CAZENOVE and OTHERS (assignees), and - GREAVES and - THomrsoN V. MOUSLEY, Mr. Sergeant WILKINS applied, on Saturday, for a postponement of these trials on the ground of the serious indisposition of the defendant, which rendered it dangerous for him to leave his room on any business what ever, and on his affidavit that his testimony was material and necessary for the defence of the cause. Mr. Attorney-General KNOWLES this morning showed cause against the application. He put in affidavits ex plaining the nature of the action, and declaring it to be the opinion of the deponents that it was scarcely possible that the defendant, Mr. Mouslev, a solicitor at Derby, could be a material witness. The action was brought to recover a sum of money, of which the defendant was merely the stakeholder, being the amount of deposit paid by the bankrupt to the defendant in July, 1847, on the purchase by auction of part of an estate at Eastham, the property of Sir NV. M. Stanley. The affidavits he pro duced stated that this money had not been paid on behalf of Sir W. Stanley; on the contrary, the trustees of the estate had been advised by counsel that they were not entitled to any of the deposits made at the sales by auction in 1847. The deponents further believed that the appli cation to postpone was only made with a view to delay ; that the defendant had already been examined before the bankruptcy commissioners at Liverpool, and could then have given every explanation had he thought proper. and that the ultimate recovery of the deposit was very doubtful. if the trial were postponed, unless the money was paid into court. Mr. Sergeant WILKINS having mentioned that Mr. Mousley would no doubt pay the money into court in the course of a month, it was agreed, after a short discussion, that the trial should be postponed on this- condition, and if not complied with, judgment to go for the plaintiffs by default, in each case. An order was also made for the voce examination of another witness, who was going abroad, Mr. Sergeant Wilkins and Mr. Attorney—General Knowles to appoint the examiner. EVANS AND OTHERS V. LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE RAILWAY COMPANY. Mr. Hugh Hill, Q.C., Mr. Cowling, and Mr. Ovens were counsel for the plaintiffs, and Mr. Attorney-General Knowles, Mr. Sergeant 'Wilkins, and Mr. Tomlinson for the defendants. Mr. HILL, Q.C., in stating the case to the jury, said the action was brought to recover from the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company a sum of £3,000, being the amount awarded by an arbitrator to be paid to the plain- T.onarlale. and:Walmsles. far damwß done to certain bleach works at Kulshaw, in the neigh.. bourhood of Manchester, by the mode in which the de. fendants carried on the construction of their works. It appeared that the plaintiffs became possessed of this fac tory and bleach works in 1845. They formerly belonged to Mrs. Mary Ann Orrell, who had carried on the busi ness of a dyer, &c., and who becoming involved in her circumstances, had executed an assignment of the premi ses for the residue of the term of years of which she was possessed to the present plaintiffs, as trustees for the benefit of her creditors. In 1844 an act of parliament, 7 and 8 Vic., c. 82, was passed for constructing a railway from the Manchester and Leeds Railway to the towns of Ashton-under-Lyne and Staleybridge. The line which it was thus proposed to construct went directly through the land of Mrs. Orrell, passing over one of the reservoirs in which water was collected for supplying the works, sepa rating two other of the reservoirs, and also interfering, to a certain extent, with the regular supply of water to the factory. By the 343 d section of the act above referred to, power was given to the Manchester and Leeds Railway Company to purchase the line authorised by that statute to be made; and this power they exercised to enable them to make the junction between their own lines and the towns of Ashton-under-Lyne and Staleybridge. Another act passed in 1847, 10 and 11 Vic., c. 163, by which it was enacted that after the last day of the then session of parliament, the name of the company, the Manchester and Leeds, should be changed into the Lan cashire and Yorkshire Railway Company, and this title was subsequently adopted. The last day of that session of parliament was July 23, 1847 ; and it was contended by the plaintiffs, that for all purposes connected with the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company, the Lands' Clauses Consolidation Act at that date became incor porated with the acts regulating that company ; and the company were, therefore, bound by the provisions of that act, from and after the close of the session of parliament, 1847. At first there was but a single line of railway formed, but subsequently a double line was completed, and in the course of the construction of these works the damage complained of was alleged to have been. sustained by the plaintiffs. The injury this inflicted had been estimated by Mr. Fisher at £3,000, the company refusing to be any party to the arbitration, con tending that they did not come within the operation of the Land Clauses Consolidation Act. Tnis was indeed the main question in dispute between the parties, and this, with other issues, was considered more as a matter of law than of fact ; and the evidence of one witness only was given for the purpose of proving that the bleach works had been damaged by the formation of this line of railway by the defendants. Mr. KNOWLES then urged, at considerable length, a variety of legal technical objections to the case as set forth on the part of the plaintiffs, principally relying on the ar gument that the company did not come within the Lands Clauses Consolidation Act. It was then admitted that the land had been to some extent injuriously affected by the construction of the works, and at the suggestion of. his Lordship, a verdict was given for the plaintiffs, subject to a special case. THE SPECIAL• JURY CASES His LORDSHIP, in reply to an application from. Mr. Watson, Q.C., declined for the present to fix any day for th© hearing of the special jury causes. ASHWORTH AND HARRISON V. MOUNSEY This was an action to recover money had and received to which the defendant pleaded the general issue. Mr. Atherton, Q.C., and Mr. Tomlinson were counsel for the plaintiff; and Mr. Attorney-General Knowles and Mr. Cowling for the defendant. in this case the suitors are engaged in business at Roch dale, and the action was brought to recover £52 paid as deposit for two plots of land at Ragton, near Oldham, purchased by the plaintiffs, and to which the defendant was 'alleged to be unable to make out an equitable or marketable title, in pursuance of the conditions of sale. The facts of the case, which were of no public interest, were all admitted, and a nominal verdict was entered for the plaintiffs, subject to a special case. ALLEGED LIBEL BY A MANCHESTER AUCTIONEER WILLIAM GRUNDY V. THOMAS CAPES. This was an action to recover damages for the publica tion of a libel by the defendant au the character of the plaintiff. Mr. ATHERTON, Q.C. (with whom was Mr. SEGAR) stated the case to the jury. He said the plaintiff was an auctioneer of some standing and considerable business at Manchester, and the defendant was a merchant in the same town. The plaintiff had been compelled to come into this court on this occasion, for the purpose of vindi cating his character from a false and malicious libel pub lished upon him by the defendant in this action ; and in the course of the remarks he should have to make to the jury, he (the learned counsel) should have to complain that at no time since the publication of the libel had the defendant endeavoured to make the slightest apo logy or retractation ; but, on the contrary, he had persisted in defending the libel as obstinately as the charge itself was unfounded and malignant. The defendant, just before publishing this libel, was living at Levenshulme, near Manchester, and being desirous of letting his residence, a treaty for the disposal of his furni ture, hothouse-plants, &c. had taken place between him and a Mr. J. A. Hobson, also a merchant at Manchester. Under these circumstances, Mr. Hobson appointed Grundy, and the defendant a Mr. Pankhurst, to make the valuation. The valuers having executed their commission, as regarded the furniture, it was found there was a con siderable difference in their respective estimates. It turned out that neither of the auctioneers had any know ledge of the value of plants; but, eventually, the plaintiff did value both the furniture and plants. Mr. Capes and Mr. Hobson, however, were unable to come to terms, and the negotiation was abandoned. The defendant after wards wrote the following letter to Mr. Hobson,--the do cumeot which formed the ground of the present action Manchester, June 2, 1852.
