THE TOXTETH PARK MURDER.—John Ferguson, aged 23, labourer, was placed at the bar, charged, on an indict ment, for tEe wilful murder of Sarah Drummond, on the 21st of January last, in the borough of Liverpool. The prisoner was also given hi charge to the jury on the coroner's inquisition. On being brought up, the prisoner cast a hasty glance round the co - art, and, having caught sight of his mother, he burse into tears, and leaned hs bead, buried in his hands, upon the rails in front of the dock. In a few minutes he partially recovered his self-possession, and drew forth from his pocket a paper which he gave to the gaol official in attendance, and by him it was handed to the prisoner's counsel, Mr. Tindal Atkinson. Mr. Blair stated the ease for the prose cution, but the circumstances having been so recently and so fully detailed, tl'eir repetition on this occ-)siosi is wholly superfluous. The learned gentleman adverted to the cir cumstances on which a proof of malice prepense arose, namely, that a few days previous to the sad catastrophe, which ended in the death of the unfortunate woman, a conversation had been heard between her and the prisoner, in which the latter, in the midst of a quarrel, was heard to declare that "he would cut her throat." The learned counsel, after recapitulating the det,ils, said that, after they had been supplied by evidence, it would he for the jury, under his lordship's direction, to say whether the r.ri amonnted to wilful murder,or ranged within the c....gory of manslaughter Mary Williams (the prisoner's mother) was the f called, and on her entering the witness box, ti uttered a cry, and sank back on to a seat in the dock. Atter he had been replaced in front of the bar, the exam; tion of the witness, who was greatly affected, was proceeded with by Mr. Blair. The witness proved that she lived at No. 87, Prince William-street, Toxteth-park, and that she knew the dccaased, Sarah Drummond, who lived in the same house, and usually slept in the garret. The witness slept in the kitchen. About four o'clock on the morning of the 21st of January last, the prisoner went out, but returned again about six o'clock, in company with the deceased. There was no light in the room, but she heard the deceased say to the prisoner she would dash his brains out. The witness beard the prisoner go to the cupboard and take out a basin, and there was a struggle between them, during which she cried out " oh, my face." She had a sore on her face at th e t i me. Wh en she got up off the floor, she took hold of witness, who got out of bed and obtained a light. Witness saw blood flowing from her, and said " Sarah, are you hurt ?" She replied " Yes, and that she would go to the hospital." The pri soner was lying on the floor, but got up and said he would take her to the hospital. They went out together, the prisoner supporting the deceased. In a short time he re turned and said, " Sally is dead, she dropped down dead at the corner of Moor Street." The prisoner asked witness for 211., saying i; was the last money he would ask her for. She gave him the money, and he took leave of her and her children and then went out. The witness after wards proceeded to the hospital, where she saw the body of the deceased woman, Sarah Drummond, lying a corpse The examination in chief having closed, Mr. Tindal Atkinson said be did not wish to agonise the feelings of the poor mother, by putting to her any questions by way of erosfeexamination ; the more so because on her evidence, it seemed to him, that the offence, admitting, as he did, the facts, amounted only to the crime of manslaughter. To that finding, the prisoner would submit. Mr. Baron Martin was understood to intimate an acquiescence in that opinion, but to desire that the case should proceed. John Fall, police constable, proved that he heard of the death of the deceased and apprehended, the pris seer, whose person he knew, the some morning. He searched him, but found no knife upon him. The prisoner admitted that he had killed the woman, M'Culloch, detective-officer, was next called, and proved the finding of the knife r•roduced, in the " petty" of the house occupied by the prisoner and his mother. Detective-officer Povey identified the knife produced, as the property of the prisoner at the bar, in whose possession he had found it on a former occasion. The learned baron then said it was clear, from the opening statement of the learned counsel for the pi osecution, that the crime imputed to the prisoner did not amount to murder, though it was manslaughter of the deepest dye. It was quite clear that the unfortunate young woman, the deceased, bad made use of violent lan guage, by threats, towards prison, r, but there was not any thing he could find in the depositions to show the existence of malice prepense, which was essential to constitute the mime of wilful murder. The deceased had made use of most provoking language, and there was nothing to show that the act which caused the death of the deceased had not ben committed in the heat of passion and in hot blood momentarily raised. It appeared in the depositions that a detective officer had days before, overheard expressions addressed by the prisoner to the deceased, to the extent of threatening to cut her throat, or to cut her head off; but expressions of that description were frequently used by persons of the class cf to which both bele the existence of any serious iutention to carry the thrc into effect. He must remark that it was most desirable that means should be resorted to, in order to detect and nunish crime, but those means ought to be of a proper character. Those in the better walks of life were protected from being overheard in the quarrels which may occur between a man and his wife; but the humbler classes, occupying, as they did, the cellars and other humble habi tations in this town, were not so protected, and he must denounce publicly the system of any dsdective officer applying his ear to the keyhole of the p weest habitation, and adopting whatever might be overheard as evidence aifaiest an individual on a future occasion. It the case had gone ou the practice would have been publicly stated, and though that was not the case, he thought it his d to express his opinion upon it. In this case it was pt. fectly clear that the unfortunate deceased had made use o, provoking and irritating language, but there was no evi dence of the existence of that malice prepense which was essential to constitute the crime of wilful murder. Under such circumstances it would be the duty of the jury to acquit the prisneer of the higher crime, and find him guilty of the manslaughter. The jury considered for a few seconds, and returned a verdict acquitting the pri soner of murder, but finding him guilty of man slaughter. The prisoner, on hearing the verdict, ap peared astounded, and resumed the manifestation of a degree of fortitude, which, on his first presentation at the bar, appeared wholly to have deserted him. The verdict having been recorded, Mr. Baron Martin directed that the mother and sister of the prisoner should be quietly removed from the court. The order of the learned judge was com plied with, and the prisoner called up in the usual form to receive judgment. Mr. Baron Martin, addressing the prisoner, said : John Ferguson, you have been very pro perly convicted of the crime of manslaughter, and nc person who has heard the evidence given by 3our own mother, who, of course, though I do not wish to impute falsehood to her, gave it in the most favourable manner, can have any doubt that you have been guilty of a manslaughter as nearly approaching to murder as it is possible. In some cases, the offence of manslaughter con sists in small and unintended injuries, but I am sorry that in your case the crime approaches as near to murder as it is possible to conceive. It seems that you have been living with this unfortunate young woman, and your coha bitation with her must have been known to all the inmates of the house in which you lived. It seems that she came home, after having been up all night, d r unk, w h ereas you were perfectly sobr ; and being in that condition, ought to have protected her in that state. Instead of that, arose a quarrel or misunderstanding between you. You were guilty of a scandalous attack. You drew a knife from your pocket. You opened it, and with that instrument you cut the throat of the young woman whom you professed to love. In cases of this kind, drunkenness is sometimes put forward as an attempted excuse, You, however, were not drunk on that morning, whereas the deceased was in that sad condition ; and, instead of shielding her, you have been guilfy of one of the wickedest acts any man could commit. Under such circumstances it is impossible for me to do otherwise than inflict upon you the heaviest penalty, and the sentence I feel it my duty to pronounce upon you is, that you be transported for the term of your natural life. The prisoner, who, on hearing his doom, roused himself from an apparent state of stupnur, quitted the dock, with a light step, and exclaimed " Thank you gentlemen." geti, withot uty thus publiCj CoNsmitlov.—John Cross. aged 45, publican, J ames Leyland, tailor, and Henry Farnworth, aged 47, sheriff's officer, surrendered, in discharge o f th e i r hail, to an!swer an indictment, charging them with conspiracy to defraud Messsrs. Moxon, and other c , editors, of the defendant Cross. Mr. Monk and Mr, Fearnley arearel for the prosecutor, and in order to make the defendant Farnworth a witness, declined to offer any evidence against him, and accordingly, in his case, the Jury were directed to return a verdict of acquittal. The case against the other defendant was destitute of public interest, thou? h it occupied the attention of the court for a very considerable time, The defendant, Cross, a publican, at Bolton, had, besides being indebted to the prosecutors for gooda supplied in the course of their trade, obtained a loan of £7O to enable him to enter on the occupation of another house, and when pressed for pay ment by Messrs. Moxon, contrived, with the assistance of the other defendant, to render nugatory the proceedings taken in the Manchester bankruptcy court, and, by means of a fictitious deb', to sweep away the property. The counsel for the defendants, Messrs. Fowler and Brett addressed the jury, arguing that there was not sufficient evidence to con vict their clients of the offence imputed to them. His lord ship having summed up the evidence, the jury returned a verdict of guilty against each of the prisoners, expressing their regret that Farnworth, the sheriff's officer had escaped, in which opinion the judge said he perfectly coincided, for had ho been convicted before him he would have felt it most heavily. The prisoners were then sentenced to fourbontbs imprisonment with hard labour. This concluded te criminal business for the days NISI PRIUS COURT.—YESTERDAY. Mr. Justice Wllles took his seat on the bench, this morn ing, shortly after nine o'clock, LEvßlt v. WILLI4MSON._The plaintiff was a corn mer chant in Manchester, and has also other establishments in Cheshire and Ireland. The defendant was the agent for the Royal Exchange Insurance office in Manchester. In Octobfr 1854, the pl a i nt iff d es i re d t o e ff ec t an insurance with the Royal Exchange upon a large quantity of corn in his store at Westport, in Ireland, the value of the stock being bb,to £6,000. On the 21st of o,2tober the policy the plaintiff's office. Mr. Lever objected to the terms c % the insurance, on the ground that the warrantry denljritio was too stringent. Subsequently it was discovered that policy had had a clause inserted in it, which almost rentlcr,_"l it a nullity.

The P1 3 ', 1 ,"h0 was a respectable attorney, li v i ng at Kerkby Step hen, - vi os had been married f o r s ome years, and the defen dant represented as a genius, a poet, and a printer.

LerLo the suggested that as the libel had been published by the defendant it would be much better fur him to wi fe expenses, end make a very humble apology.
