They proceeded at once in the High sheriff's carriage to the lodgings, in St. Anne-street, where they robed. At ten minutes to six o'clock they en tered the Crown Court, where the commission was opened and read by Mr. T. S.

The crimes are of the ordinary description ; for we are happy to say, that in the list, there is not a single' charge of murder, a somewhat unusual circumstance upon this circuit. The following is a summary of the calendar : —To receive judgment, 2 ; - manslaughter, 4 ; intent to murder, 3 ; stabbing or wounding, 11; rapes, &c., 7 ; highway robbery, 1; robbery from the person, with vio lence, 5 ; bigamy, 2 ; concealing birth, 1; burglary, 11 ; forgery, 4 ; feloniously embezzling, 1 ; horse stealing, 2 ; perjury, 1 ; mutiny and attempting to destroy a vessel at sea, 7 ; total, 62. The judges, on looking over the ca lendar, seemed to be of opinion that they could dispose of it by Thursday next, but Friday or Saturday at the farthest will certainly bring their labours to a close. On Sunday forenoon their lordships attended divine service, at St. George's Church, in the Cresccut. They were ac companied by the High-sheriff, the Mayor, the Town- Clerk, the Clerks of the Crown and Peace, and the sword and mace-bearers of the Corporation, in regalia. The anthem was Kent's " Hear my prayer." Mr. George Holden presided at the organ. The Rev. Rector Brookes preached a sermon appropriate for the occasion, from the 12th verse of the 19th Psalm, " Who can tell how oft he offendeth ?" In the evening, their lordships dined at their lodgings. Last night, they entertained, the Grand Jury at dinner; and this evening the Judges, the Grand Jury, and the leading member of the bar vial dine with the Mayor, at the Town-hall. CROWN COURT.—YESTERDAY. (Before Mr. BARON PARKE.) Exactly at eleven o'clock, yesterday morning, Mr. Baron Parke entered the Crown-court; and. after the usual formalities, the following gentlemen were sworn the Grand Jury : William Entwisle, Esq., M.P., Rusholme, foreman; William Appleton, Esq., of Downham Hall; Thomas e I Weld Blundell, Esq., of Ince Blundell ; George Gran- vine Francis ggert6ri, of Worsley Hall ;William Earle, Esq., of Liverpool; Robert Garnett, Esq., of Wyerside; Thomas Berry Horsfall, Esq., of Everton ; Edmund Haworth, lsq., jun., of Sale Lodge ; Daniel liornby, Esq., of Railes Hall; Richard Houghton, Esq., of Ash field Lodge ; George Hall Lawrence, Esq., of Liverpool ; James Logan, Esq., of Liverpool •, John llurray, Esq., of Hornby Hall; John Macvicar, Esq., of Manchester; David Hodgson, Esq., of Liverpool; 'fbornas Giles, Esq., of Lancaster; Hornhy Roughsedge, Esq., of Foxgill ; Thomas Sands, Esq., of Liverpool •, William Shand, ' Esq., of Liverpool • John Plumbe Tempest, Esq., of Tonge Flail ; Humphrey De Trafford, Esq., of Trafford Park ; Richard Walker, Esq., M.P., of Woodhiil; Joseph Need Walker, Esq., of Calderstone. Mr. Baron PARKE, in his address to the Grand Jury, said, they were now assembled to perform the duties of the grand inquest of this county, in obedience to a special commission which her Majesty had been advised to direct to himself, his learned brother Williams, and some others. Under this commission the powers of the Grand Jury would be just the same as at ordinary assizes; but in consequence of a clause or proviso introduced into the'commission, they would not be called upon to exer cise those powers with reference to any charges against prisoners commitftd, or under recognizances, to take their trials at the sessions. Their powers were co-exten sive with the county, and just the same as usual, but their duties were practically limited to enquiry into cases where the prisoners had been committed for trial at the assizes. This measure of a special commission had been adopted, now for the third year, not in consequence of any popular commotion or outbreak, or the prevalence of any crimes dangerous to the state or community, but simply because it had been thought right, in the due ad ministration of justice, that the cases of prisoners com mitted for trial at the assizes, should to be tried at an earlier period—three or four months earlier than they would according to ordinary circumstances. The special commission had been applied only to those counties in which the number of prisoners was considered to be the greatest; and he thought he might congratulate the Grand Jury, that whereas- the commissions last year and the year before extended throughout almost all the English coun ties, in the present year they had been confined to this and the adjoining county of York, the two most populous counties, in which the number of prisoners might reason ably be considered the greatest. Yet when he looked at the calendar, for a ,county with ECO large a population he thought the number of cases was not great, and the quality of the offences charged not such as to induce a belief that crime was greaily upon the increase. It must indeed be extremely gratifying to the gentlemen of the grand jury to know there was no cases to come before them in which the life of a fellow creature had been lost, under circumstances in which the law would impute to the person charged the crime of wilful murder. There were, however, two or three cases of manslaughter, and some heinous offences of another description, into which they would have to enquire. There were two in par ticu. lar which he need not name, for which, as the law now stood, the lives of the prisoners might be forfeited. They were charged with horrid offences, which, of course, the grand jury would investigate with due care. One of these charges was of such a nature as was to be proved by cir cumstantial evidence only. It generally happened in cases of this nature, that the proof was by direct evidence, and this was the first instance, in the course. of his judicial experience, of the crime being sought to be proved by circumstantial evidence. The law doubtless permitted it; but it would be for the grand jury to say whether they thought the evidence such as to induce them to believe beyond all reasonable doubt, that the serious cifence charged had not only been attempted, but completed. The learned baron then referred to the charges, in the calendar, of violence to females, and to one of administering cantharides, giving the usual expla nations ; and in continuation he said there was a charge against two women, of a somewha charge was founded upon the stat made it a capital felony to atti ierions nature. This e of Victoria, which pt to drown, suffo- cate, o strangle any person with intent to commit the crime of murder. The evidence in the depositions was, that the two women were concerned in packing up an in fant child in a basket, which was delivered at the railway station, addressed to a person they supposed to be the father, a person living in the neighbourhood of North wich. The contents of the basket, however, were disco vered before any harm happened to the child. The Grand Jury must be satisfied before they found the bill, that the intention •f the prisoners wgs to destroy life.

The governor f prosecutor was acquainted with a person h Jamie," and he asked him (Miles) to Lffected toward him (the governor), as he had some reason to suppose he was hostile to him, in consequence of his having dis charged his son from some office or other. It would be for the jury, after they had heard the facts, to say whether this request from the governor was anything but a pretext or trick. They entered the gaol together; and, either before or after this, Highton shewed the pro secutor two of the papers which he had received from the Mayor, and stated he was authorized to ascertain whether they proceeded from any officer of the gaol ; if they had, he had authority to dismiss that person from the gaol Ie did not appear to have pu utor resneetinff the author: any question tc 'ip. The sam the" prose- Le. day Mr. Carter, the chaplain, told the prosecutor they were going to hold an examination, and requested him to be present. Miles said it was a little premature, or early, to which the chaplain replied that he (Miles) would have to assist at it. Shortly afterwards the prosecutor was called into the governor's house, and in a room there he found a table set, with writing materials for two persons : the were there, but the surgeon left before the investigation was concluded. It was suggested by the chaplain, he (Mr. Monk) believed, that the prosecutor should take a seat at the table, and appear to be writing, as it would lull suspicion. Several persons were called in, from whom inquiries were made, and then some whispering took place between the chaplain and the governor. A portion of this whispering reached the ears of the prosecutor, and he immediately came to the conclusion that the examination was, in point of fact, a mockery, and that it had no purport whatever. The jury, he dared say, would easily surmise for what purpose it had been instituted. When five o'clock arrived the Chaplain said he must go to dinner, and the enquiry be resumed the following morning. The Chap lain h;td been writing, it ought to be mentioned, at one set of writing materials; the prosecutor at the other. On this intimaton, the prosecutor folded up what he bed been writing to put into his pocket. The Chaplain re cuested him to give up the paperP. The prosecutor re u,ed. Some conversation followed; he again positively refused to part with the papers he had written, and then the Chaplain said to the Governor, " Do you mean to let him take away those papers ?" The Governor immedi ately left the room, but soon returned, having in his hands a card. He (the Governor) had previously said he would send to the magistrates, but the Chaplain said " No, no,—you say too much, we must use for Ce." The Governor then kicked at the door, on which the defendant Bromley entered, and all three seized the prosecutor, threw him on the floor, and injured him considerably. He was enabled, however, to preserve the papers in his hand. The window was then opened by the chaplain, and Evans entered through the window, threw himself upon the prosecutor, thus assisting in the violence which was being committed upon him. A further call for as sistance was made, and the defendant Jones entered, and he assisted the others in endeavouring to obtain the pa pers from the prosecutor. From the violent treatment he received, the recollection of the prosecutor became in some degree confused ; by what means he was ejected from the room, and what force was used to him, he did not distinctly recollect, but he did remember Bromley taking the papers from his pocket. Shortly afterwards he found himself lying under or against the walls of the pri son outside, with his hands bloody, his head injured, and in such a state of exhaustion as to be unable to obtain assistance to get himself removed. Fortunately he was met by a person named Buckley, a turnkey in the prison, who saw his condition, took him to a public-houseewhere he obtained something to restore him, and there he left him to give information to Mrs. Miles. A cab was ob tained, and he was taken home. Dr. Marshall, a physi cian, practising as a surgeon, was called in ; he ordered leeches to be applied to the head. In short, he found the prcsecutor considerably injured. These, said the learned counsel, were the main facts of the case,,and he left the jury to say whether such treatment w _ r proper on the part of two such office's as the governor and chaplain. The learned gentleman concluded by saying that the pro secutor, by indicting Orin, and the parties by whom they were assisted, had taken the best possible course to ob tain redress and satisfaction for a violation of the law on his person. Jiihn Reade Miles, the prosecutor, was then called. He slid that after he and the governor had entered the gaol they went into the head-turnkey's lodge, when the governor chewed him two sheets of foolscap paper, which he said had been sent to the Mayor, and asked him if he knew the handwriting upon them. He replied he had seen something very like one of them in the gaol but he thought they were not the production of the same hand. The governor wished him to find out what Scotch Jamie's feelings were towards him, and they had some talk upon the modus operandi. lie told the governor that if he would leave the course of action to him, he had no doubt, through the agency of two or three glasses of whiskey, of asceitaining the nature of this person's feelings towards him, and that he would report on Saturday morning. They parted, after he had asked the governor this single question, " is there any particular mode or any point in which you wish Scotch Jamie's mind to be attacked ?" In the course of the same morning Mr. Carter told him they were going to hold an enquiry about these papers and that he must be in readiness to be called in. He told Mr. Carter this was rather premature, con s id er i ng th e engage ment he had entered into with the governor with respect to ascertaining Scotch Jamie's mind. H e ( prosecutor ) was h e i s m after h e mustinto thesit down governor's an d ahpopuesaer, s a e n n d t mforr. Carterrntoinldut to be writing to lull suspicion. Four persons were examined. When the examination of the fourth was over, Mr. Carter gathered up his papers, saying the examination would be resumed the next day. He (the prosecutor) commenced folding up his papers, and when he was in the act of putting them into his packet, Mr. Carter said to him, " hand those papers to me." He replied, " No, these are to guide my mind in the enquiry against Scotch Jamie." There were a great number of circumstances in the papers respecting the governor's c on d uc t w hi c h would have guided his inquiries. Mr. Carter said, he (the prosecutor) had no right to the papers ; to which he replied that he had, and that he (Mr. Carter) had his own copy, and he would not give them up till he had taken an exact copy or transcript of them. He told Mr. Carter he had heard something which led him to infer that the examination was a dis graceful trap, and that he should lay the papers before the chief m ag i s t r ate together with his own comments. The prosecutor then went on to detail the circumstances of the assault, to the same effect_ a s tne statement made by his counsel, but much more diffuse. He said he did not recollect the defendant Jones entering the room. When he was at the Lodge door, Bromley came and took all the papers, letters and other documents out of his pocket, saying, " The governor has instructed me to see you have no papers about you." When he got outside the gaol he could go no further, and Wm. Buckley took him into the Bull's Head. Dr. Marshall attended him at home. For a considerable time afterwards his brain was just in that state which he once felt from the effects of a railway concussion.
