SOUTHERN DIVISION-LIVERPOOL Before Mr. Justice CRESSWELL and Mr. Justice ERLH Sheriff—Sir Thos. George HESICETH, Bart-.)- The commission for these assizes was opened on Wect nesday evening, by Mr Justice Cresswell. On Thursday, Mr. Justice Cresswell and Mr. Justice Erle proceeded; at ten o'clock, to St. George's Church, where prayers were read by the Rev. P. B. Hesketh. Mr. Justice CresswelL entered the Crown Court at a quarter-past eleven o'clock, and the following gentlemen were sworn on the GRAND JURY. James Heywood, Esq., M.P. Weaste House, foreman Weld Blundell, Esq., Blundell Hall. Thomas Ridgway Bridson, Esq., Bolton. Colin Campbell, Esq., Liverpool. Adam Gladstone, Esq., Liverpool. Lawrence Heyworth, sq., Liverpool.

Deceased and a deaf brother came out of the Vulcan Tavern, and were crossing the road, arm in arm, when they were both knocked down by the cart, the wheel going over the head of Thomas Shelmerdine, and so injuring him that he died on the following day. The other brother was thrown into a state of insensibility. There were in the cart three or four persons, who were coming from Oldham to Man chester, and they had urged the prisoner to drive rapidly. —A verdict of not guilty was returned. NISI PRIUS COURT.—FRIDAY. (Before Mr. Justice ERLE.) COPE v. TIIE THAMES HAVEN DOCK AND RAILWAY COMPANY.—Evidence was called in favour of the case for the defendants.—The evidence in this case, which pos sessed no public interest, was of a very contradictory cha racter.—His Lordship having summed up the evidence, the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, damages £lOO. In two cases verdicts were taken by consent, after which several undefended actions were disposed of. CROWN COURT.-SATURDAY William White, 32, James Winterbottom, 27, and Stephen Naylor, 23, apparently agricultural labourers, pleaded guilty to having, at Pemberton, set fire to a barn and sutbuildings, belonging to James Rothwell. Mr. Justice Cresswell, after lecturing them on the enormity of their offence, sentenced them to transportation for fifteen years. _ _ Mr. Justice CRESSWELL, in addressing the Grand Jury directed them as to several cases which would be brought un der their notice, and concluded with the following remarks on the present disturbed state of the country. He said in law, was a tumultuous disturbance of the peace by three persons or more assembling together of their own authority with an intent mutually to assist one another against any one who shall oppose then, in the execution of some enterprise of a private nature, and afterwards actually executing the same in a violent and turbulent manner, to the terror of the people, whether the act intended were of itself lawful or unlawful. If they should find there was an assemblage of people in military array, with arms and banners, it could hardly be said that a meeting of that sort vies not calculated to excite terror, and if they proceeded to any act, that made it a riot. It was not ne cessary that any personal violence should be inflicted to make it a riot. - Any meeting assembled under such circumstances, as, acc(irding to the opinion of rational and firm men, were likely to produce danger to the tranquillity and peace of the neighbourhood, was an unlawful assembly; and, in viewing this question, the jury should take into consideration the way in which the meeting was held, the hour at which they met, and the langiuv.e used by the persons assembled, and by those who addressed' them. l'he difference between a riot and an unlawful assembly was this :—lf the parties assembled in a tumultuous manner, and actually executed their purpose with violence, that was a riot; but if they merely met for a purpose which, if executed, would make them rioters, and, having done nothing, they separated without carrying this purpose into effect, then it was an unlawful assembly. It was possible that the Grand Jury might have charges of drilling brought before them. By the 6th of Geo. 111., and Ist Geo. IV., all meetings or assemblages of persons for the purpose of drilling themselves or for the purpose of practising military exercise, without lawful authority, were misdemeanours. Besides these cases they might possibly have some of seditious speeches. Persons claimed the privilege of discussing grievances and talking over public proceedings. This they had no doubt a right to do, but they must do it under certain limitations. If they found a large assembly of persons brought together, not for the purpose of discussion, but for the purpose of resistance to the law, and of exciting dissatisfaction and discontent, speeches of that sort were seditious, and tended to disturb the peace of the town. There was one case, not in the calendar, in which a party was committed for a conspiracy. It was called a treasonable conspiracy, by which he supposed was meant a conspiracy for the purpose of inciting others to engage in a transaction which a short time since would have been called treason. He directed their attention to a recent Act of Parlia- own servants went, in which the law of treason was somewhat modified. John Hammond, 24. was sentenced to twelve months' The law now was, " That if any person whatsoever, after the imprisonment, with hard labour, for a burglary at a beer passing of this act, shall, within the United Kingdom, or with- house in Canal-street, Manchester, kept by Mr. Stanton, out, compass, imagine, invent, devise, or intend to deprive or depose our most gracious Lady the Queen, her heirs or suc- and stolen four boxes of cigars, a violin, and six shillings cessors, from the style, honour, and regal name of the Imperial in copper.

MINT CASES —A riot, Abraham Rigg pleaded guilty to a burglary at the house of James Mather, at Bury.—Sentence deferred. Thomas Cain, 19, railway labourer, was found guilty of the manslaughter of Peter Meadows, at Wigan, on the 20th of June. The parties quarrelled, when the prisoner threw deceased down, and kicked him about the head. The jury looked on the case as the result of a drunken row, and recommended the prisoner to mercy. Sentence deferred. Stephen Marsden, 28, was sentenced to seven years' transportation for having stolen £5O in bank notes, eleven sovereigns, a gold and silver watch, &c., from the house of Mrs. Greenhalgh, the Pineapple Inn, at Darcy Lever, near Bolton. The prisoner was implicated in the robbery with four other persons, three of whom were transported for the offence at the last assizes. The chief witness in the case was an accomplice of the name of Fog. John Smith, 40, and William Dixon, 19, were sen tenced to eighteen months imprisonment, with hard la bour for an assault on Robert Breeze, at Manchester. The prosecutor was inspector of nuisances in that town, and the prisoners were nightmen, who, on the 17th June (not being employed by the corporation), were removing night soil with a donkey cart, and thereby rendered them selves liable to a penalty of 403. The prosecutor dis covered the prisoners at the work, and tried to turn the donkey towards the Police-office, when Smith struck him several severe blows with his spade, which confined him under medical care for nearly five weeks. The prisoner Smith said he wished he had killed him. In his defence Smith made an incoherent speech, alleging that he only wanted to gain an honest livelihood, and that since the corporation had monopolised the exclusive right, number less ashpits were not half-cleansed. His Lordship lec tured the prisoners for uttering sentiments which implied their belief that the authorities were bound to provide them with work. If servants could choose their own master, the latter were equally entitled to choose their Mary Mitchell, 37, was found guilty of uttering a base shilling at the shop of Mr. Haslam, confectioner, Bolton, on the 18th March last.—Sentence deferred. . . Alice .Rourke was found guilty of having. in her pos session, at Scholes, a mould, for the purpose of casting base coin. Sentence deferred. Charles Boyle, 34. and Patrick Manneriny, 28, were tried for having in their possession, at Great Bolton, a mould,, for the purpose of making base shillings. The evidence was not clear, and the prisoners were acquitted. John Holden, 47, was found guilty of havingin possession base' coin ; and John Holden, 9, and Jane Holden, 14, pleaded guilty to passing base coin at Ash ton-under-line. Sentence deferred. Mary Collett, 28, was found guilty of having, at Sal ford, on the 7th instant, unlawfully uttered to Ann Wat kins, a licensed victualler, in payment for three glasses of rum, a counterfeit half-crown, knowing the same to be bad. Sentence deferred. Joseph Robinson, 46, and Thomas Campbell, 34, were found guilty of having unlawfully in their possession ten counterfeit shillings. Sentence deferred. LOCAL MEETINGS, THE ANDERTON CARRYING COMPANY.—At a meeting on Saturday this company was finally dissolved, and the sale of the property to the Earl of Ellesmere confirmed. Five hundred pounds were voted to the directors and secretary of the company. LIVERPOOL UNITED GAS-LIGHT COMPANY.--On Tuesday the half-yearly ordinary meeting was held. The chair was taken by Wm. Fosberry, Esq. The directors recommended that a dividend after the rate of £5 per £lOO share, for the half-year ending 30th June last, be declared upon the several shares in the Liverpool United Gas-light Company, excepting such of the shares as re present the £25 shares in the late Liverpool New Gas and Coke Company, upon which the whole amount was not called up on the Ist January last, and that upon these a dividend of £1 is. Bd. be declared. The chairman moved that the report be received and adopted, which was unani mously agreed to ; and a dividend of £5 per £lOO share, and so on in proportion for the lesser shares, was declared ; the dividends to be paid, less the income tax, on the 25th instant. LIVERPOOL AND BOOTLE WATER-WORICS.—OR Tues day a meeting was held for the purpose of closing the affairs of the company. Mr. William Holt read a state ment of the accounts, from which it appeared that the balance to be divided was about £3OBB. It was agreed that £lOO should be placed in the hands of Mr. Johnson, to be appropriated in the purchase of an annuity, or in some other wav laid out for the benefit of Robert Ger man, known by name of " Old Robert," a very old servant of the company, who had been at the works at Bootle from the time the bill was obtained. £5OO was voted to Mr. Rogers, the secretary. Mr. John Holmes, in the course of some conversation, stated that the origi nal shares in this company cost the proprietors £BOO. Mr. Gill said it never paid anything like 5 per cent. It was then resolved that, after paying the outstanding ac counts, the balance of the funds should be divided amongst the shareholders in the proportion of their shares. NORTH AND SOUTH WALES BANK.—The annual meeting of the proprietors was held on Friday, at the Clarendon Rooms, Richard Griffiths, Esq., in the chair. The report was read by Mr. Rae, the manager. It stated that the hopes entertained of an early resumption of busi ess by the bank had been realized ; but the difficulties of the times had prevented shareholders from subscribing in the new issue of preferential shares, and the bank had consequently been thrown upon its existing advances, for funds to resume business with safety. The advances on the 23rd October, were £750,000, and by the 22nd Janu ary they were reduced to £465,000. The circulation this half-year had necessarily fallen off—averaging only £15,000. The profit and loss account still left a balance of profit of £1,069,190, making the aggregate profit of the year £12,850, which had been transferred to the credit of the bad debt amount. Since December, the liabilities of the bank to the public, had been diminished nearly £200,000, while the assets had been improved. The SPECIAL MEETING OF THE COUNCIL. whole liabilities were now £180,000: at the time of the suspension they exceeded £600,000. The circulation had risen in a few months from £7OOO to £20,000. The directors looked cheerfully to the future. The report was adopted. In answer to: a question, the chairman said that the directors felt sure of recovering all the capi tal lent to the Birkenhead Dock Company and Commis sioners, in a short time. The retiring directors were re appointed; the sum £BOO was allowed to them, and the meeting adjourned. DOCK COMMITTEE PROCEEDINGS.—The chairman, Mr. Bramley-Moore, at the meeting on Thursday, read a letter from the Duke of Wellington, as follows : " Field Marshal the Duke of Wellington presents his compliments to Mr. Moore. He received his note on. the Bth instant, with plans of the Liverpool docks enclo sed therewith. He is much flattered by the honour con ferred on him by calling one of the docks and basins by the name borne by him. He begs Mr. Moore to assure the Dock Executive that he feels a most lively interest in the prosperity of the town of Liverpool, and that he will ever be willing to make every exertion to promote its interest whenever it may be in his power." The letter was enclosed in a handsome gilt morocco case. The Chairman, in reply to a question, explained that he had not sent a letter to Lord Stanley in consequence of not having a plan of the docks to send with it. He had only written to the Earl of Harrowby and the Dnke of Wel lington, but the plans would be ready in a few days. A report was read exculpating the keepers of the telegraph from blame in the transmission of certain signals on the 27th ult., a complaint respecting which had been made by Mr. Aikin, but the committee had directed that, in future, greater vigilance should be used in attending to signals from the eastward. Mr. Aikin said he was satis fied the telegraph might be made of much greater utility. Communications might be made to ships in the offing, whereas now the only communication given was that such a ship was off Holyhead., The Chairman thought the telegraph should not be used except for information of a public character. It was fixed that the annual inspection of the telegraph, which generally occupies five days, should commence on Monday. Mr. Tobin asked whether proper certificates had yet been given as to the ages of the new north dock masters, and protested against per sons being appointed subject to certificates. The com mittee should have been satisfied with the certificates, and then appointed the candidates. The Chairman pro raised that the matter should be strictly investigated. On Wednesday a special meeting was held. Upon the motion of Mr. SAMUEL HOLME, seconded by Mr. PLUMPTON, Mr. John Bent was elected alderman; Mr. Naylor having failed to qualify. THE RIVINGTON PIKE SCHEME. The TOWN:CIERK read the report of the Water Com mittee, which was to the effect that the Rivington Pike scheme could be carried out and executed for the sum mentioned in the parliamentary estimates (X 480,000), that there ought to be no further delay in proceeding with the works, and that the Committee ought to be authorized to take immediate steps for the purpose of proceeding with them. The TOWN-CLERK read a memorial from the National Confederation, in which they protested in the name of the ratepayers against the prosecution of the Pike scheme. Mr. LACE, in proposing the adoption of the report, said it was satisfactory to the Water Committee that they were able to make the report which had just been read, for they were perfectly satisfied that the works could be carried out within the parliamentary estimate of £480,000, if they were now proceeded with. In order to keep the cost of the works within the estimate, it was necessary that they should be proceeded with without delay. The Council would easily conceive that it would not be proper to give details of the estimates, but he (Mr. Lace) might observe that with respect to the principal item of expense —that was the pipes—it had been ascertained that it would be considerably under the estimate. With respect to the other works, Mr. Stewart, one of the Water Com mittee, thought it advisable to ascertain the quantity of work from actual survey. Mr. Weightman was sent for that purpose ; and it was satisfactory to state that his estimate came to within 5,000 yards of Mr. Hawksley's computation, Mr. Hawksley's being the larger one. He might also add that Mr. Holme mid Mr. James Holum — both practical men—had been over to the Rivington dis trict, and they were both perfectly satisfied, from their own knowledge of building, that the works would be carried out within Mr. Hawksley's estimates, if they were begun within a month. Liverpool was at present entirely dependent for water on two engines, and if the one at Green-lane and the other at Windsor were to break down they would be thrown for weeks without any sufficient supply. Would, therefore, he wished to know, any gentleman take upon himself the responsibility of not taking the means to obtain a sufficient supply ? They had no tanks to put water into, and if they had tanks they had no water to put into them, for the supply was be coming less and less every day. As to the assertion that there was a sufficiency of water under the red sandstone, the Council would no doubt think that that matter had been discussed ad nauseam, and satisfactorily disposed of. They had not had one scientific opinion in favour of there being a sufficient supply under the sandstone, and not the opinion of one practical man against the Pike scheme. No practical man had pretended that they ought to go on boring and sinking wells. They could not without an act of parliament go out of the borough for water, and he felt certain that they would be opposed by the whole sur rounding district of country in which Prescot and nume rous smaller places were situated, and that the quantity procured would become less and less every day, though they would be robbing the wells in the district. Gentle men spoke of the expense of going on with the Rivington scheme, but the fact was that it would be a saving of expense. They would save the expense of new wells. They would save the expense of engines. They would save the expense of working eleven engines, which would cost £15,000 a-year. Supposing there were to be no increase in the population of Liverpool, the deficiency to be provided for would not cost the inhabitants 4d. in the pound upon their assessments ; whereas if the population doubled—and they confidently looked for an increase in the number of inhabitants—the charge would be nothing. But they could not do that with water from the red sand stone • for the cost of that was five per cent., whilst the cost Of the Rivington water would be nothing. He con cluded with moving the adoption of the report. Mr. Alderman Nicol. seconded the motion. Mr. BENNETT regretted that he could not support the report. He believed the quantity and quality of the water at Soho-street station were as good as ever they were. He also believed that the quantity and quality of the water et Green-lane were excellent ; in fact, the quantity there was inexhaustible. The engine was insuf ficient to raise the quantity without being overstrained, and during the time M'Gregor and Kennedy were making their experiments at Green-lane, about three-quarters of a million of gallons were daily running to waste down the ditches. It would take two or three years to obtain water from the Pike; and, therefore, if Dr. Duncan was correct in saying that the cholera would probably be upon us in three or four months, the Pike scheme could not be ren dered available in cleansing the town when the cholera made its appearance. _He discredited all statements about NISI PRIUS COURT.—SATURDAY. the decline of the local supply.

Mr. EARLE, Mr. LACE, and other members of the committee, cried simultaneously—Yes, yes, yes. Mr. BENNETT wished that snore information on the subject had been given. Mr. LACE.—You have had every report before you. Mr. BENNETT meant to say that the reports submitted to the Council had not satisfied him of the propriety of the Pike scheme. (A laugh.) He thought the chances of failure at the Pike considerably overbalanced all chances of success, and therefore he opposed the report, and moved as an amendment that the whole subject be re- , ferred to a committee, to ascertain whether the necessary local supply can be obtained from this district, and whether Mr. M'Donald's estimates are borne out by facts. Mr. EARLE and Mr. RATUBONE alluded to what they called the ignorant and malicious attacks made upon the Water Committee by the Mercury and Journal, and said that the conduct of that committee was far above any aspersion or insinuation. After a very long debate, during which most of the old arguments were re-produced, th Council divided, when there appeared—For the amendment, 15 ; against it, 24. The amendment was consequently lost. COMMITTAL OF JOSEPH CUDDY FOR TREA SONABLE CONSPIRACY. On Tuesday Joseph Cuddy, who acted as salesman to the notorious Dr. Reynolds, and who was stopped is Byrom-street with a bag containing 31 pike heads, was brought up at the police-court, for final examination. Jz.mes O'Brien, in whose house in Hurst-street a variety of pikes and other weapons were discovered, was brought up at the same time ; and the evidence in the case, which ran to very considerable length, was read over. The Mayor, Wm. Earle, Esq . ., and other magistrates, occupied seats on the bench with Mr. Rushton. Mr. Robinson, of the firm of Messrs. Lowndes, Robin son, and Bateson, solicitors, appeared on behalf of the go vernment. Mr. Yates, sen., defended the prisoners. Walter Willick (officer 370) was the first witness called. He deposed to the various meetings he had attended at Circus-street and Great Howard-street, and to the lan guage made use of by the various speakers. Richard Janet was next examined. He accompanied the first witness to the meetings in Circus-street and Great Howard-street, and he heard Dr. Reynoldssay at the lat ter, "if you cannot buy muskets buy pitch forks." " any man who does not join the clubs," said the chairman, " shall be hanged to a lamp-post." The prisoner Cuddy was present at the meeting in the Baptist chapel. He was also present at several of the other meetings. He was at a meeting held the 14th June, in Circus-street, when the people were counselled to get pikes. Cuddy at that meeting exhibited a pike-head, and said he could make similar heads for 2s. 6d. a piece. Mr. M`Manus, the merchant, was at the meeting in Circus-street, and he called upon the people to form themselves into clubs. He said he would receive no boon from England, and before that day:three months Ireland should have . her rights or he would have blood. Witness went over with Mr. M`Manus in the same steamer to Ireland, and saw him go into the Irish Felon office. Witness then went to the Castle, and gave information, and by directions from the CaStle he seized M`Manus's luggage at Kingstown. It contained, amongst other things, a complete set of mili tary uniform, green and gold, and a pair of pistols. A Mr. Somers made use of the following language at the Music-hall : " I tell the merchants, that as I think I see Warsaw in flames, to take care lest a spark of ignition may not reach this town ; and I tell them that before the news is four hours in Liverpool of an intended massacre in my country—l care not, mind you, gentlemen, it there were 200,000 British bayonets there and 100,000 special consta bles—T care not for them all (a voice : We'll maul them') despite all these efforts, and despite as much more, the martyrs dying on the scaffold and on the plain would have the consolation in giving their last throe of looking up to heaven and seeing the skies reddened with the blaze of the Babylons of England." The other depositions consisted of the evidence of about 20 witnesses. It was of a most voluminous character, and occupied a considerable time in reading. The evi dence went to prove in a variety of ways the connexion of Cuddy with the Irish clubs and the leaders of the rebel party. It exposed an organized system of correspon dence baeween the Confederate clubs in Dublin and those in Liverpool, connecting the prisoner Cuddy and the notorious Dr. Reynolds (for whom Cuddy sold pikes) with them in their several movements. The fact of Cuddy being discovered with a bag full of pikes was fol lowed up by evidence proving him to have regularly at tended the Confederate and club meetings in this town, and the public meetings generally where Dr. Reynolds was in the habit of speaking sedition. Other evidence of a corroboratory nature was added, which represented the accused to be prominently mixed up in the entire pro ceedings connected with the intended outbreak. Cuddy was fully committed for trial at the assizes ; and the other prisoner was remanded until Saturday. THE FATE FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.—At the Devizes assizes, on Wednesday, George Pargeter was indicted for the manslaughter of Arthur Augustus Lea, at Swindon, on the 10th of May last. Mr. Lea was a gentlemen of Wadham College, Oxford, and was killed on the Great Western Railway, in consequence of the accidont which happened to the express train driven by the prisoner. He was found guilty, and sentenced to three months' imprisonment. The sto4er and another man were acquitted. NISI PRIUS COURT.-THURSDAY DOE DEM. SUGDEN v. WEAVER AND OTHERS.—Judith Sugden, of Manchester, was the plaintiff, and the defen dants were a numerous class of persons living in small houses in Hope-street, Manchester, alleged to belong to the plaintiff. The action was one of ejectment, the question to be tried being whether the plaintiff was in legal possession of the property, a claim upon it having been set up on the part of a person named Baxter.—His Lordship considered the legal title of the plaintiff had been made out, and the jury, under his direction, returned a verdict accordingly. COPE v. THE THAMES HAVEN DOCK COMPANY.—Mr. Charles Cope, of Manchester, was the plaintiff, and the Thames Haven Dock and Railway Company the defen dants. The action was for a sum of £145, for work and labour performed by the plaintiff for the defendants, in endeavouring to dispose of the undertaking to several railway companies. For the defendants it was contended that they had never given authority to the plaintiff to proceed with the negotiations, and that if he were to be paid he must look to a shareholder of the name of Smith, who, it was alleged, had engaged the plaintiff, who, on the other hand, contended that he received the authority of the directors for acting as he did. AN. CROWN COURT.—FRIDAY. (Before Mr. Justice CRESSWELL.) SENTENCES.—The following prisoners, convicted on Thursday of uttering counterfeit coin were sentenced Mary Mitchell and Alice Rourke were transported for seven years ; John Holden was sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment with hard labour ; and Joseph Mills, Mar garet Collett, Joseph Robinson, and Thomas Campbell, were sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment with hard labour. BURGLARY NEAR ST. HELENS.—Richard Lyon, 37, was charged with having at Parr, near St. Helens, bur glariously broken and entered the dwelling house of Eliza beth Glover, and stolen therein one basket, two aprons, one handkerchief, and one key, her property. The offence was committed on the night of Saturday the 25th of March. Mr. Joseph Pollock was for the prosecution ; the prisoner was not defended by Counsel.—The jury re turned a verdict of guilty, and the prisoner, who had been previously convicted, was adjudged to 7 years' transporta tion. KILLING AND SLAYING.---Tatnes Stones, 19, was charged with having, at Manchester, killed and slain Charles Ellam. Mr. Pollock was for the prosecution. Stones pleaded guilty, and was recommended to the merciful consideration of the court by the prosecution. His master gave him a good character, and stated that he was willing to take him into his service again. Stones, who had been in gaol three months, was then sentenced to a nominal punishment of three days' imprisonment. STABBING. — Anthony Carroll, 21, was charged with having, at Aughton, maliciously stabbed and wounded John Fitznatrick, with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm. Mr. Pollock was for the prosecution ; the prisoner was undefended. Both Fitzpatrick and Carroll were labourers on the Liverpool, Ormskirk. and Preston Railway ; and on the sth of May they quarrelled about a heap of soil, from which both wished to fill their waggons. The result was that the prisoner struck the prosecutor on the back and on the eye with a pickaxe, but without se riously injuring him. The two men, though fellow countrymen, were at enmity ; and the prisoner, previous to the assault, complained that Fitzpatrick would never let him alone. He added, " I would cut him or any other man to pieces that attempted to curb over me, even though I should be transported for it next moment."— The prisoner was found guilty of an assault.—Sentence deferred. _ Nicholas Carter, 17, and James Smith, 17, were charged with having at Ince, in Mackerfield, feloniously wounded James Orrell with intent to do him some griev ous bodily harm. The counsel for the prosecution was engaged in the other court, but Mr. Justice Creswell said he could not wait for the other court, and ordered the case to proceed. It turned out, however, that the witnesses were absent, and the learned judge complained that there was in this and other counties a practise of employing po licemen as their clerks to manage prosecutions. It was, he observed a very bad practice, and was likely to be most mischievous in its results, as it gave the policemen an un due interest in procuring convictions. The witnesses were ordered to be called on their recognizances, and at that moment they appeared in court.—Mr. Pollock con ducted the case for the prosecution.—Jas. Orrell was a watchman on a railway at Amberswood Common, on the 18th of June ; the prisoners trespassed upon it, and he was driving them away, when they threw stones at him, struck him with a wooden crow bar, cutting his head and brusing him in several parts of the body. The prosecutor was a man of weak intellect.—The prisoners were found guilty of an assault. MANSLAUGHTER IN MANCHESTER.—Francis Turley, 21, was charged with having, at Manchester, killed and slain Thomas Shelmerdine, by the negligent and incau tious driving of a car. Mr. Pollock was for the prisoner. On the night of the Btb, of April, the prisoner was driving
