The case was fully laid before the public soon after the occurrence, and we need but remind our readers of the principal facts. The deceased was struck and kicked by the prisoners, at a small " penny" theatre. in Vauxhall-road, on the 28th February. He walked home, but was much hurt, and took to his bed next day. The deceased and a companion, about the beginning of the per formances," at the instigation of some other lads and girls, once called out, " Emma Templeton,"—the others having repeatedly before cried out " who made the lad spend his week's wages ?

William Savage, sen.—l am sexton at the parish church of Warrington. On Sunday morning, the Mtn of November, I was employed in the churchyard. Peter Ford pointed my attention towards something at the east gate. I went to the place indicated, and I saw a basket and a human body. The basket was eight or ten feet from the body, and the body was about a yard from a ditch or brook, with the feet towards the ditch, and the head towards rue. The ditch was nearly at right angles to the fence of the churchyard. The body was that of a female, and it lay upon its face. The hands were under the body ; her feet were about a yard from the ditch. I turned the face towards me. I observed some soil upon the face and nose. She lay upon the grass sod. I found the face close to the earth. The mouth was full of dirt. She was lying on the grass, and there was no dirt upon the place where her face was lying sufficient to account for that ap pearance about her mouth and nostrils. I did not perceive any soil near the place. I replaced the head in the same po sition, or as near-irs possible, , I sent for the deputy•consta ble, Mr. Jones. He came with me, and we 'saw the body as it lay. It was in the same position. There was a shawl thrown over her head. I did not remove that shawl in raising her head, but it would be displaced a little perhaps. I did not remark whether she had a bonnet on. Her clothes from the middle of the back downwards were saturated with wet. 1 did not notice whether they were wet in front. One stocking was down to her anele ; I think it was the rightleg. The knee of that leg was red. The body was removed to the Ring of Bells public-house. Jones the constable examined the basket, which was perfectly dry. I saw when she was taken to the public-house that she bad a bonnet and cap on. I did not notice whether they were wet or dry, but the crown part of the bonnet was broken. Cross-examined by Mr. WILKINS..-4 was somewhat agitated at the discovery. There had been a little wet that morning. The field was a meadow, and there was a foot path through it. The rest of the face was somewhat dirty, as well as the nose and mouth. I could see dirt against the teeth. The brook is perhaps a y ard and a half wide, and three or four feet deep. I cannot say whether the ditch be often cleaned out ; there is a strongish current there. Peter Ford.—On the 14th November last I was in the churchyard at Warrington. I was near Howley Pit. I saw a man looking over the fence towards the river. It was about five minutes before seven. He was looking towards the place where the body was afterwards found.

Tire trusts were briefly these—that during the joint lives of Mr. and Mrs. Hilton, Topham should pay over to them the rents, profits, and interest of these several securi ties ; that after the death of Mrs. Hilton, it' she should (lie first, Mr. Hilton should be permitted to receive the same for his life, and that after the death of Mr. Hilton, the ultimate interest in the whole property should go to such issues as Mrs. Hilton should, by her last will, appoint. There was this aleo provided, that it should be lawful for the said John Top ham to invest, upon such government or real securities, as he should think fit, the different sums of money of which Mrs. Shallcross was possessed, and which came into his hands as trustee, with the consent and approbation of the said Mr. and Mrs. Hilton,—that lie should, at different times, when it might seem expedient, but with such consent and approbation of Mr. and Mrs. Hilton, transfer such securities to any other investment, and this he should be at liberty to do during the joint lives of such parties. This was material, because they would find that Mr. Topham, in the breach of the trusts of the marriage settlement, did transfer to Mr. Hetherington, whose representatives the plaintiffs were, the deed of mort gage in question, which formed one of the securities entered into under the marriage settlement, and. he did this without the knOwledge and approbation of Mr. and Mrs. Hilton, 'though they were both in their lifetime. What he should sub mit in law to the learned judge, by and bye, was, that if Mr. Topham did, in breach and fraud of that trust, convey away property which he had no right to do, it was quite impossible he could give a title to anybody else, and above all, he could not substantiate any claim against the defendant. It was oti the 27th Feby., 1833, that the deed of settlement was made ; on the Ist arid 2d April the indentures of lease and release were executed which had been put in. MraTopham had :looked out for a mortgage security for the £BOO - which had been transferred to him as trustee ; Mr. Price, whose name had-been often mentioned, wanted some money ; Mr. Topham communicated with Mr. and Mrs. Hilton, and they agreed to let him have that £BOO on the security, and then Mr. Price executed that instrument, which as the jury had heard, was the mortgage security from Mr. Price to Topham in fee upon receiving the sum of £BOO. From that time Mr. Topham continued to pay the interest regularly to Mr. and Mrs. Hil ton, during the whole of Mrs. Hilton's life, and after her death to Mr. Hilton long after he had transferred the mort gage. : That transfer took place in 1836. In September, 1836, Mr. Topham having a debt due from him to Mr. Hetherington, in breach of his duty as trustee, actually as - signed to Mr. Hetherington the' mortgage security which belonged to those for whore he was trustee, which had been obtained for money, which he ought never to have transferred either as a professional or as a moral man, and that without ,approbation, or even knowledge, upon the part of Mr. and. Mrs. Hilton. Mrs. Hilton died in 1837 : this security there fore was transferred in her life time; and by that instrument, the marriage settlentect, the jury would find, that Mr. Top ham was expressly prohibited from making any transfer of any security except by their consent. This was (lone without their knowledge or approbation. It was under these cir cumstances that the transfer was made to Mr. Hetherington in the year 1836. Down to 1840, when Mr. Hilton discovered -the-breach-of tru-51.•0f, which Mr. TOpham had been guilty, - ~• - • • . . and learned that tt&-transfer had taken place behind his - back in 1836, and to the bankruptcy of Mr. Topham in 1840, the interest was paid by Mr. Topham no doubt with the view of keeping the parties in the dark as to what had been done; and it was only when Mr. Topham was finally broken up that these circumstances came to light. Mrs. Hilton died in 1837. The jury would remember that by the terms of the marriage settlement she was to have a power of appointing by her last will the uses to which the whole of the trust pro perty should go after her death. Site made her will, and she devised all her property, real and personal to her husband, the present defendant, who thus became interested, under the joint operation of the marriage se ttlement and lot the will, in all the property his wife had ; among the rest this sum of £BOO, which was put out on the mortgage security, in the mortgage security itself, and in every other kind of property of which his wife died osseWhen Mr. Hilton became .

Mr. Topham . excuses for not returning it : at one time he had changed his office ; at another the carelessness of his clerk had mislaid it; and at another he was unable to tell what had become of it at all. At this very time the transfer had been made to Mr. Hetherington, and Mr. Topham must have known that he was making these excuses in order to conceal the real nature of th e transaction which had taken place from Mr. Hilton, whom he had thus been the means of defrauding. Mr. Top ham, he understood, was a professional man in this town; and let it not be understood that he was applying to this case epithets harsher than it deserved. He was willing to. believe, from all he had heard of Mr. Topliatn, that he did this im proper act at a time when he was much pressed himself, and with a bond fide intention, upon his part, that no injury should be sustained by those for whom he was trustee, and with the full purpose of restoring the deed as soon as he could. Unfortunately lie was unable to do it ; and it was not until his bankruptcy, in 1840, that Mr. Hilton had any notion that his mortgage security had been transferred in fraud of him in 1836. They would by and bye have some reason 'to believe that he (Mr. Topham) knew the real nature of the transaction; for lie would now state some circum stances to which he would call attention in point of time and fact. In 1840, Mr. Topham became bankrupt, and then all these matters came out. He was brought before the Com missioners of Bankruptcy. Mr. Norris attended on behalf of Mr. Hilton ; there was an examination of Mr. Tophani on that occasion ; it became necessary for him to give some ex planations, and then this circumstance came cut, namely, that there had been a transfer in 1836, without the approba tion of Mr: and-Mrs. Hilton, to Mr. Hetherington.

His LORDSHIP said unless there were proof of violence the case could hardly go on. He was, however, perfectly ready to pursne the inquiry. Mr. BRANDT said he had evidence of the prisoner having left her, but whether alive or dead he could not show. Mr. Robson was recalled. He declared his opinion to be that the deceased had fallen into the ditch, and being intoxi cated, had struggled about for a few, minutes, had scrambled out, and in crawling along had, from the effect of drink and exhaustion, fallen forward, and there died. Mr. BRANDT said, after this he felt it would be useless to go on. The jury immediately acquitted the prisoner, and he was discharged. ILLEGAL DISTRAINT. MARSH V. GERARD AND WARD.

THIRD EDITION. Thomas Rouse, aged 29, was charged with having, at Roy ton, induced by divers others to the jurors unknown, violated the person of Mary Whitehead, wife of James Whitehead, nurseryman, of Pendleton. It appeared from the evidence that, on Sunday, the 12th September, Mrs. Whitehead went from home to Poyton, which is about eight miles from Pendleton. She went into a beer-house, and had some drink. She was in the habit of drinking, and was nearly intoxicated when she left the house, which she did in company with the prisoner. It was alleged that the prisoner had, with others, taken Mrs. Whitehead, into a field, and there abominably ill-used her. Mrs. White head now stated that the prisoner had done all he could to screen her, which was at entire variance with her testimony in the depositions taken before the magistrate. The details of the case were exceedingly disgusting. It ap peared that the outrage was witnessed by . several individuals, who did not dare to interfere . The prisoner was certainly present, but the only witnesses who swore to his having taken any part in the affair were two police-officers, who were brought to the scene by a man who had seen what was going Standard-office, Three o'clock LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,—TaIs DAY (From Messrs. R. MAKIN & SONS' Circular.) Since this day week we have received very scanty arrivals of Grain and Flour coastwise and from Ireland, and of Oat meal the quantity is only moderate. From the Continental ports of Europe and the American States, however, we have to note a tolerable supply of Wheat, with 929 qrs. of Indian Corn and 3363 barrels of Flour from the latter source, inclu ding 1000 quarters of Egyptian Beans, all of which, under the existing duties, are being placed in bond. The following are the quantities of Grain, Flour, and Oat meal, computed to remain i❑ Liverpool, on the 31st March, 1812 :—Wheat, in bond 178,808 qrs., free 50,000 qrs. ; Bar ley, in bond 10,371 qrs., free 6,000 qrs. ; Oats, in bond 13,887 qrs., free 10,000 qrs. ; Rye, in bond 500 qrs., free COO qrs. ; Beans, in bond 20,800 qrs., free 23,000 qrs. ; Pease, in bond 7,627 qrs., free 6,000 qrs. ; Flour, in bond 103,555 bar rels, free 30,000 barrels and 10,000 sacks ; Oatmeal, free 85,000 loads. The present advance upon Wheat, in London, and recently in other leading markets, having been preceded by the rise here in the course of the last two weeks, has not produced any general effect upon the value of that Grain at our market to-day, although the samples displayed were less numerous than for some time past. Except a parcel or two of very fine Pomeranian free Wheat, which brought 10s. per 701bs. for Ireland, no improvement was obtainable upon the cur rency of this day se'night : our quotations of that date there fore remain unvaried, and the millers having been rather on. The jury retired at a quarter before two o'clock. They returned into court in about ten minutes. They found the prisoner guilty of an assault with intent, and recommended him to mercy on account of his previous good character. — Sentence deferred. FALSE ACCUSATION, WITH INTENT TO EXTORT MONEY. Daniel Seholefield, aged 21, was charged with having, at Middleton, accused Henry Moore of having committed an unnatural crime, with intent to extort property from him. Dr. BROWN prosecuted ; M r. WILK' s defended. The details of this case are totally unfit for publication. The prisoner, it was alleged, had accused Moore, and de clared he would press the accusation unless a suit of clothes were given to him. It was stated by Dr. BROWN in his opening, that a person named Cheetham, who was named by the prisoner as a par ticipator in the crime against Moore, had been taken into custody since he had been before the Grand Jury, on charge of having really committed such a crime some time ago. His LORDSHIP said, according to the state of the law, it did not matter whether the offence alleged had been actually committed or not. If there were any charge to be made, it should be made before a magistrate, and not urged with the intent of extorting money. It , appeared that the accusation had been mere vulgar Under the direction of his lordship, the prisoner was inactive, no extensive business was transacted. In bond, about 500 qrs. of Ancona Wheat have changed hands, at Gs. Bd. per nibs, and a cargo of Odessa, afloat, at 41s. 6d. per qr., including freight.

Cheetham was subsequently placed at the bar charged with the abominable offence alluded to. The case broke down, the evidence being insufficient to sustai►► the charge. The jury acquitted the prisoner.

FORGERY -hard Parker, aged a 9, James Jackson, and Mary Taylor, 39, were charged with having, at Rnadiii6;lbtOtti= . ously uttered a forged note for the p:tyment of £5, with intent to defraud the Halifax and Huddersfield Joint Stock Bank ing Company. Mr. Robinson and Mr. Pollock prosecuted. Mr. Green defended Parker and Mr. Wilkins appeared for Jackson. Thomas Whip, watchniar and jeweller, Rochdale, re membered a man and wor,,,a (Mary Taylor and Jackson) going into his shop on ff, evening of the 2d of Pebruary. They asked to be shown a wedding ring. Mary Taylor said she should like a better one. She purchased one. The man bought a guard chain. Mary Taylor pulled out a£s note on the Halifax and Huddersfield bank, and told him to take pay out of it. He refused the note, telling her he thought it was a bad one. He went out and compared it with some other notes of the same bank. He did not discern that it was a forgery, but had his suspicions. He returned and found that Jackson had gone. The woman Taylor remained, and he saw Parker looking carelessly from the opposite side of the street. He returned the note to Mary Taylor, saying he did not like it. Ile gave information to the police at the railway station. On his return he obtained sight of Jackson, who, with some exclamation, ran off. Sarah Jackson proved that about seven o'clock on the even ing of the 2d of February she was in the shop kept by Mary Taylor's mother. While there Jackson and Parker entered. They asked Mary Taylor to go out. with them, saving they wanted her to buy a ring, and do an odd job or two for them.

That there was a degree of intimacy between Mr. Topimin and Mr. Hetherington was clear. They had been clerks together, and when the jury heard some questions which lie should put to Mr. Topham, and when they remembered t3e (mantled answer of Mr. Pen- i; nington, that lie did not thit: Mr. Topham had any thing to of Nlr. Hetherinoon must not have had full notice of the nature of the property of wh►ch Mr. 'Popham claimed the right. Ile contended that ander these circumstances, 'Mr. Hilton had a clear right to detain the deed against Mr. Heth erington, and the question was, whether Mr. Hetherington had a right to sue him as a defendant, and take the deed from him. It was Mr. Topharn'i; duty to have handed the deed to Mr. Hilton i❑ 183 G; could Mr. Hetherington then claim to take it from him ? He cauld riot. The conveyance had never been in the possession of Mr. Hetherington at all, and he could not take it. he apprehended, unless he could shew a good title to it. And how ti.d that title come ? Not through Mr. 'Popha►n, for he had p arced with it in direct defiance, and breach of his trust, and he could not give Mr. Hether ington a legal title to it. 1r Mr. Hetherington had it once in his possession, it must have been a different case, but he had not had it. Now it did'. seem to him most monstrous and iiilegal to say, that who n Mr. Hilton had properly ob tained possession of the deed, Mr. Hetherington should step . inrand assert the claim whir :11 he now set up. 11r. BAINES then proposed to put in the marriage settle- Meta of Mr. and Mrs. Hilt on. Mr. KNOWLES objected. to it, on the ground that the plaintiff had nothing whatt ver to do with it. The JUDGE said the sett lement proved that Topham was the legal owner of the pro) rt y , and the legal holder of the deeds. He commenced b.ring so in 1833, and be continued till 1833, and he had made: a valid legal transfer of property in 1835 to Mr. Hetherington. Mr. BAINES contended it was not a valid legal transfer under the circumstances, Mr. Topham, he apprehended, could convey no title. The JUDGE said Tophat n could have maintained an eject merit under the deed of 11136. Mr. BAINES apprehended not, under the terms of his DESCRIPTION Wheat Qrs. Barley Qrs.
