THE SPRING ASSIZES. CROWN COURT.---,-WEDNEsDAY. BEFORE MR. JUSTICE WILLES. This court sat at nine o'clock. BAKER v. THomrsorr.—This was an action brought to recover the sum of £5O, the balance of an account of £52, for goods sold and delivered by the plaintiff to the defend ant. On the part of the plaintiff it was proved, as far as a portion of the amount was concerned, that the defendant was liable ; but !kith regard to anoth er part, it was alleged that a witness, named Wright, had no power of selling. For the defence, it was urged that a portion of the pro perty was placed w ith him as security for a debt. The case was totally devoid of public interest, although it la3ted a considerable portion of the day, Mr. Millward for the plaintiff, and Mr. Pickering and Mr. Manesty for the defence. A verdict for the plaintiff for 535. STAREIE v. THANE. —This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover of the defendant the sum of £2O 15s 6d, as compensation for his trouble in making purchases for him, or ; correctly speaking, for commission. Mr. Temple ap peared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Brett for the defendant. The plaintiff is an agent living in Liverpool, and the defendant was a merchant formerly living in Liverpool. The transactions connected with this case arose in the year 1857, when the plaintiff was introduced to the defendant, as a person desirous of purchasing goods at sales by auc tion. At that time it was alleged, on the part of the plaintiff, that the defendant entered into an agreement with the plaintiff to purchase goods for him at auctions, • for which he was to receive 21 per cent, as commission for his purchases ; the signal to purchase being that, when attend ing these sales, the plaintiff was to put his thumb in the arm hole •of his waistcoat, and while it remained there, the plaintiff was to keep on bidding, but when he withdrew the thumb he was to cease. The transactions between the parties continued for some time, and during which a quantity of gambier was purchased, upon which some dispute arose. For the defence it was urged, that the commission alluded to was only to be paid in cases where a profit arose, and in other transactions, the purchases were made on their joint interests, and that as there had been a loss in most of the other cases, the plaintiff had no right to, recover for commission. Verdict for plaintiff, damages £l6 is. 10d. JONES V. GREENACK.---'Phis was an action on a promis sory note, to recover the sum of £so,,and one year's interest, for money lent. In this case, the plaintiff was a female, named Jones, and for upwards of twelve years lived as a servant with the defendant, a farmer, living at Garston. For six years a sister of the plantiff's also lived in the same house. Some few years since plaintiff lent the defendant £5O, for which he was to pay her three per cent., and gave her a promissory note to that effect. The interest was annually paid by the plaintiff, who wrote a receipt on the back thereof on each occasion. In October of last year, through circumstances which were not stated, the plaintiff and her sister both left the defendant's house, and subse quently he paid them their wages, and a month extra, in lieu of notice. The £5O was also applied for, but the defendant refused to pay it until the time the interest was due. She positively swore, as did also her sister, that on the night she left the house, the money was never paid. For the defence, it was stated by the defendant that he had paid the money, and this was corroborated by his sister. Other witnesses were called, who proved that, on the night the plaintiff left, the defendant had borrowed £5O, as he said, to pay the paintiff. The judge having briefly summed up the evidence, said he would not offer a single comment, but leave the jury to decide the matter, as it was a case especially coming within their provence. The jury gave a .verdict for the full amount claimed. ORD, lIINDSON AND HAYES V. INGLEDEW.—In this case, Mr. James, Q.C., Mr. Millward, and Mr. Deighton were for the plaintiffs; and Mr. Wilde, Q.C., and Mr. Baylis for the defendant. The plaintiffs are lessees, under the Crown, of the Kooria Mooria Islands, and sought to recover the license, fees on two cargoes of guano, shipped by the defendant from those islands. A verdict was given for the plaintiffs, for £1,200 and costs, the defendant's counsel stating that he was instructed to withdraw all imputations of misrepresen tations on the part of the plaintiffs with reference to the above islands. The court then rose. NISI PRIUS COURT.—WEDNESDAY. BEFORE THE HON. JUSTICE BYLES. LIBEL.—ADDISON V. ALKER. —This case was resumed this morning. Mr. Monck, Q.C., addressed the jury for the prosecution. The learned gentleman proceeded to enlighten the jury on the law of libel. He analysed the evidence, and endeavoured to show that the •libel complained,of was a most malicious one. The letters of 'Mr. Alker to the President of the Missionary Society were not bona fide privileged communications. .The learned judge proceeded: to sum up. He said, he was of opinion that he should hardly let this case have come before the jury at all. Ile should leave to them, however, whether the letters com plained of were privileged communications, but . as to the conversation between Mr. Alker and Mr. Power he must decidedly tell them that it was privileged. If a friend came for the character of a servant, his former master might say, I would advise you not to engage him, he stole my bed This would be a privileged communication comunication; but if his, former master had come forward voluntarily, and said that servant of mine committed a felony, that would not be privileged, and it would show malice. His Lord Ship proceeded to point out the law of libel, and was decidedly favourable to the 'defendant. The jury immediately returned a verdict for Vie defendant. BARBOUR v. PoTrs.:--Plaintiff is Alfred Barbour, carry ing on business as a merchant in Liverpool, and defendant; James Ansell Potts, official assignee, at Manchester, in the estate of one Pickford, a commission agent, and lately a • bankrUpt in Manchester. The action was brought to recover the sum of £lBO 7s 7d. Mr. Manesty appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Wilde, Q.C., for the defendant. It would appear that Barbour engaged Pickford to pur chase him a quantity of goods amounting to £853 15s sd. Mr. Barbour, of course; had to supply Mr. Pickford with money for these purchases, and he gave him three bills. Potts discounted two 'of these bills, but it appears he only paid Messrs. Scott and Co., of Manchester, from whom the goods were purchased, a portion of the money, and shortly before Pickford became bankrupt, Messrs. Scott instituted . enquiries, and foundewhoni Pickford was acting as agent for, and they intimated that they should look to Mr. Barbour, for payment. When Pickford failed. Tie had not discounted the third bill, which was for £lBO . is 7d, and it came, into the hands of the Official assignee, niid the latter gentleman having endorsed it, sent it to_the back, where Mr, Barbour, for his own credit, lifted it. Barboiir has since paid Scott for the goods, and he now brings an action against the official assignee for the full amount of that bill. For the defence it was contended that the goods for which Mr. Barbour paid Messrs. Scott, was not n•oods for which the particular bill for £lB7 was drawn, anethat, consequently, it belonged to Mr. Pickford. It was further contended that the official assignee was obliged to pay in the bill to the accountant of the Bank of England, for the credit of the bankrupt's creditors ; also, that by the provisions of the recent Act of Bankruptcy, the official assignee could not be prosecuted or proceeded against for anything he felt neces sary to do in the execution of his duty. His Lordship ordered the jury to return a verdict for £193. subject to be brought before the court above. TIIF FALL OF A WALL AND Loss OF LIFE IN STAFFORD STREF.T.—DUCKWORTH V. JOHNSTON. - David Duckworth was the plaintiff in this case, and James Johnston the defendent. The plaintiff sued as friend of his .son, sixteen years of age, who' had been severely injured by the fall of a wall in Stafford-street. :The plaintiff also sued for,damages for the death of a younger son from a like cause. Mr. Edward James, Q.C., appeared fo'r the plaintiff, and stated that the jury would have to consider whether the youth was injured through the gross carelessness of the defondent, and whether the younger son had died from the effects of a like cause. Duckworth is a poor man ' residLo• in Stafford street, and on the evening of the 16 th of November last, about six o'clock, the two youths were sent on ,a. errend, they completed that errend and were returning home, and passing down Stafford-Street. along : the wall of the defendent, when they heard a great rumble and noise, and were immediately overwhelemed with the debris of the wall .which had fallen. Assistance was procured, when the eldest youth wa s tal,ea oat and found to have had his thieli injuries. The and received several other severe Younge3t lad was. found to be dead, and two women were found to be severely injured. The injured lad was t.ilien to the Infirmary, and it was found that his thigh was broken, and had other. severe injuries.He stayed there and then left the Infirmary, but he is still twelve weeks, unable to go about the streets Without diffichltv and pain. His eyesight has also been severely d'h injured, an e trembles and shakes all over his body. lletililspouiffde. much pain. The learned gentleman said that he it, and sativ evidence ght t to to show that the wall was in a most da ngerousstate, and that many persons had spoken of have been long previously repaired.. The was . a poor - man, and he had lost the services of his two boys coilseplence r. of the fall of this wail, and the ju r y would have to consider whether that wall fell through ihoear''' lessness of Mr. Johnston. George John Duckworth was- then called. lIC said he was sixteen years ; that he had been to school in Manchester, and could read and write. He was engaged by Dr. Watson, of Manchester at 3a 6 . 4 par week, with beard. lie had only been three days in Liverpool when the wall fell. Re had been sent . with his brother to 1 a pawn - shop in London-road. They were returning, and when passing the wall down - Stafford-street, the wall . er was . suddenly fell, awl buried himand:his broth ihortly afterwards rescued and t aken to the hospital. lie Was there for twe l .vo weeks, and since his leaving the he fv> • L. I piin. Cannot walk wi t hout Sd • d 'Acuity. His eviAght has burr .severely tried, and is now quite nervous. John Aspinall, a millwright and engineer, said that he was in the vicinity when th accident took: place. He gave evidence of his going to the assistance of the unfortunate beings. He looked at the brick the next day and examined the brickwork, and he came fo the con- i elusion that the wall was either too old to stand, or had been improperly built. Mr. Joliff, a musician, resident in Stafford-street, said that he had been in the habit of passing the wall daily, and he had noticed the bad condition of the wall, that it was cracked, and . that it bulged out. He had warned his family not to pass the wall. Mr. Richardson, another musician, residing in Stafford-street, said that he had noticed the wall for twelve months- previously to its fall. He always passed on the other side of the street, as he did not like the appearance of it. There was a large 'zig 7. zag crack in it, and the wall was crooked. Mr. White, estate agent, said that lie observed two cracks in the wall, and noticed that it was gradually shrinking. John 'Teen nal, who lives in Suffolk-street, frequently passed the wall, and observed the fishure or crack, and a bend in the wall, 'but it did not strike him it was so dangerous as it ultimately tamed out to be. John Griffiths, a builder, has known the yard of the defendant about 30. years, and remembers the building of the wall. Part of it was nine inches, and part fourteen inches thick—nine inches at each end, and fourteen inches in the centre. Remembers no alteration in the wall. Thinks that the wall was not built •on a good plan. The whole of that neighbourhood is made land, consequently the foundation would be bad, and would require great caution in putting ,proper footings to the fall. Mr. John ston has been in the habit of having large logs of Quebec oak timber placed in the oeutre of the highway, and canted over to the loose land, and so shook the wall that it, ulti mately fell. On cross-examination, Mr. Griffiths distinctly swore the land upon which this timber was usually laid, was made ground ; and in answer to" Mr. Atherton, he said he often visited the shop of Mr. Cooper. Mr. Pickerton, surgeon, said he had an examination of the injured lad on the 30th of March. • Mr• Jones another surgeon, and Mr. Pickerton, agreed to a report of the present state and prospects of the lad. He has received a very severe shock to his nervous system. Is very irritable and nervous. Is very weak. His mind is slightly injured. His eyes hurt--can't see to read. Fracture on the right thigh —doing well. Left leg contused, and there is a large in flamation in the thigh bone. If the boy goes on well the boy may get better, but if he continues weak, and the in flamation does not decrease, the lad may loose his limb. The left leg is worse than the right one which was fractured. Mr. Ellis Jones confirmed the evidence of Mr. Pickerton, as to the state in which the boy is. Mr. Stattern, surgeon, said the health of the boy previous to the accident was very good. Mr. 'Ellerton, surgeon to the Infirmary, said that when the younger lad was brought in, he was found to be dead. His head was greatly crushed, causing instantaneous death. The boy's father was called to prove that both lads had been earning wages for the last two or three years. Mr. Atherton submitted that there is no case, on the ground that the father was not the administrator. He contended that the father had not sustained any pecuniary loss from the death of the young. led. A conversation ensued as to the law respecting the question, and his lordship said he should give Mr. Atherton leave to move, and ask the jury whether the fall of the wall was caused by the negligence of the defendant? Mr. Atherton addressed the jury, contending that the second action for the pecuniary loss caused by the death of the plaintiff's younger son, as his earnings did not bring any benefit to his father. He then addressed the jury "in mitigation of damages for the injury done to the elder lad. Evidence for the defence was then called. Mr. Willittm Henry Gee, architect, said he had formed the opinion that the wall fell from the vibration of heavy weights passing. It might be from the tunnel of the railway, or it might be from the road. He did not think the wall, previous to its fall, was in a dangerous position. From the appearance of the wall, the bricks had been set when they were too hot. The bulging of the wall was not an indication of weakness. Mr. James Johnston the defendant, was then called. He de posed, the portion of the wall which fell had been built about 30 to 32 years. There was' a probability of rounding or bulging, but, from his experience, there was no danger of a fall from that cause. The canting of the timber caused very little vibration. Mr. Walker, hon. surgeon at the Infirmary, attended the injured boy from his admission to his dismissal from that institution. -Was present at an examination of the boy, and does not think that the injuries are permanent. His Lordship summed up, after which the jury returned a verdict in the first case—that of the injured lad—for the plaintiff, damages £250, the jury wishing that someportion be invested for the future benefit of the boy. Mr. James promised that such should be done. In the second case, the jury returned a verdict - for the, plaintiff, damages £2O. CLERICAL SCANDAL.—M'CARTISY V. MURNEY.—The 1 plaintiff is a clergyman in the. Church of England, and at present clerical secretary to the Naval and Military Bible Society, and complains that the defendant published a most malicious libel on him and had put him to expense to defend himself before the Bishop. Mr. Justice Byles made great efforts to settle it out of court, as it was not proper that such scandal should go forth to thopnblic, but to no effect. Mr. Edward James, Q C., with alr. Manesty, appeared for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Overend, Q.C. - , and Mr. Wylde for the defendant. Mr. James opened the .case. He said he ap proached it with feelings of very great pain . . It was a question involving the character, the reputation, and the standing of a clergyman of .the ,Church of England. The plaintiff's character had been defamed by- the defendant, by a gross and outrageous libel, - and plaintiff seeks for damages. The inquiry might be aJieandal to the church, but his client could not be blamed for ,endeavouring to vindicate his character, The , plaintiff, Mr. M'Carthy, is a clergyman of the Church of England. He passed a portion of his early days in the merchant navy service for a period of seven. years. Being a youth of studious and steady habits, notwith standing his manifold engagements, he devoted much time to study, being desirous of ultimately filling a position in society, which he fondly looked to. He left the service, married, and obtained a situation as teacher in the London City Mission. He gave the utmost satisfaction to the society, and was offered a like situation in another society, the Protestant Reformation Society, at a larger salary. For some time he filled this situation with the greatest satisfaction. While in this employ he was s en t down to Birkenhead. While there he joined St. Aiden's College, and ultimately he received orders from the Rev. Mr. Knox, and was ordained by the Bishop of Chester. He established the Working Men's Church in Birkenhead, and officiated solely there himself, gathering a large congregation. He, continued there until 1858, distinguishing himself not only in the pulpit, but by duties and labours not connected with the church. The working men were so pleased with his ministrations that they. presented him with two testimo nials. Ho then became the clerical secretary of the Naval and,Military Bible Society, a society established for the pur pose of supplying soldiers and sailors with the Scriptures. His duties would call him into different parts of the country. On the 4th of Oct., 1858, he was sojourning in Manchester. On that evening he attended a concert at the Free Trade Hall e He left there a quarter past ten, and went straight to his lodgings, 23, Lever-street, where he arrived at a little before twenty-five minutes to eleven o'clock. He did not go out that night again. On the following day he received a note from the Rev. Mr. Dauby, a friend of his, wishing to see him. He waited upon Mr. Dauby, and he was astonished, confounded, and grieved to have a letter put into his hand, the contents of which went forth to say that, the writer was sorry to inform them that he, the writer, had seen Mr. M`Carthy that evening in the company of a woman of ill-fame, and that he had seen them go into a house of ill-fame and stop there for a quarter of an hour,. and that he had seen him come out, and followed him until he entered Lever-street ; and went into the house numbered 23, adding, in his opinion, that a man who could do such an action was not the one to preach and lecture about morals, and aid them (that is Mr. Dauby and the writer) in their endeavours to evangelise the Catholics. The letter was signed, J. Murney." That libel was written by the defendant,, and when he saw Mr. Denby and Mr. Murney, he indignantly denied the imputation, but the defendant persisted iii its accuracy. The learned council concluded by stating that Mr. M•Carthy was in that court ready to prove that the libel was a most malignant lie, and he called upon the jury to give . sufficient damaged to they plaintiff for the injury which had been done him. Mr. M'Carthy, the plaintiff, was then called. Ile said he was a clergyman of the Church of England, and clerical secretary to the Naval and Military Bible gociety, a society in London for the purpose of. supplying soldiers and sailors, with a ,copy of the Scriptures. H e d at one time been in the mercantile navy, from the age of 14, and sailed out of Liverpool as mate and second mate. Ile left the sea about eleven years ago, and entered on the London City Mission. (~'ontinued in that mission for twelve months. . Afterwards joined the Protestant Refor mation Society, .who sent him .down to Birkenhead: " He then entered St. Aiden's College, Birkenhead, and the I Rev. Mr. linox..gavo him a title of orders, and he was ordained, in 1856, by the Bishop of Chester. Witness founded the Working Men's Church, Birkenhead. He was presented with two testimenials, • He joined the Naval an• - 1 Military Bible , Society,. and on the 4th 'Octobin' he was in Manchester, 'engaged on his duties.. On that evening he visited the, Free Trade Hall in that city. The concert was over at a quarter - past ten. lie went to his' lodgings, 23, Lever-street. ' There he arrived at the very latest at twenty-five. minutes. to eleven o'clock: Did not go out of his lodgings again that evening. He did not call- at any house on his way to his lodgings, nor was he in company with any one.. On the following day he received a written communication from the Rev. Mr. 1114 y, end he called upon ly -Mr. h r i o n t i e in consequence, and received a letter, of . 1 which a co p y was - road by the counsel ' in his opening state lisnr' at. at Saw t t e ur i n e e ti v e , r and n as d k l e v d as hi l m in if (t l h ie e Bras person he m eant, for it letter, a fearful calumny w tnaisteh o s) . e n sPt h ehe l ts :- it, haianiedters;aidailla Murney d ac k now l e d ge d that Ito wrote was yiright, and wou ld s ti c k t o w h a t ho lied said, and he wasliiia not sure whether it .1 would not be better t o expose cMccarthy), iu the THE - NORTHERN TIMES; THURSDAY, AP ,IL. 7 1859 public press. Witness was obliged to leave Manchester, and he left Mr. Dauby his address. He was "afterwards suspended by the Bishop, and is now licensed 'to preach. He was previously in Manchester,but never slept in it. In his addresses to th e mee ti ngs in Manchester, he spoke strongly against Papistry, Will solemnly swear that he was not with a young woman that night, nor spoke to one from the ti me h e l e f t t h e F ree T ra d e Hall until he reached his lodings. On the 18th October he received a letter from the Bishop, requesting, his presence in Manchester im mediately. He answered the letter, saying he would be in Manchester in a few days. On the the 27th, the Bishop again wrote to him, and he came over from Ireland, where he was, to MMichester, on the 2nd of November. The • society of which he was clerical secretary investigated the statements against him, and then suspended their judgment until his character was cleared in a court of law. His salary is continued. There had been no investigation before the Bishop of Manchester, only a slight inquiry. The Bishop said that he had two modes to clear himself—either to enter an action, or to have a commission appointed. ' He considered that his means would hardly allow him to do either. In cross examination, witness stated that he did not remember mentioning to the Rev. Mx. Dauby or the Bishop of Man chester that one of the young . ladies, in whose house he lodged, had gone out for some spirits for him, on the night of the 4th Oct. The witness got the. Misses Gregson, who kept a boarding-house in which he resided, to sign a document, showing that he was in the house at a quarter to eleven o'clock on that night, and did not go out again. At the enquiry before the Bishop, Mr. Murney stated that he had seen him speak to a woman of ill repute, at twenty minutes to eleven o'clock, saw him go with her to a house of ill fame, come out of it'at five minutes past eleven, and followed him to his lodgings. Murney said he had corrected his watch by the Infirmary clock. The inquiry before the Bishop took place on the 2nd November. On the 3rd wit ness wrote to the Lord Bishop of Manchestar, de manding that all the charges made against him should be sent to him (witness). Miss Anne Gregson recollects Mr. M'Carthy lodging at her mother's house. Recollects him returning home on the night of the 11th October, at about half-past ten. He opened the door from the outside. She corroborated the evidence of the plaintiff as to his not leaving the house that night afterwards. The witness's sister, and her brother, gave 'evidence to the same effect. Mr. Overend then addressed the jury on behalf of the defendant. He said that if the letter complained of were a malicious slander, then it was one of the most wicked and diabolical sins that could be thought of; but he contended that the contents of the letter were true ; that no man in his proper senses would ever have written snch a document if the occurrence had not taken place ; that it was sure to rebound upon the writer if there was any untruth in it, and utterly destroy his prospects in life, as it undoubtedly would to Mr. 11:earthy if the offence with which he was accused should be proved. The learned gen tleman proceeded to enlarge upon the evidence,. which he was about to lay before them. The truthfulness of the letter mainly rested upon the evidence of the defendant, a man named Turner, a policeman, and a girl, Schofield by name. From their evidence, it would appear that Murney and Turner, were coming Edon.. Piccadilly, Manchester, on their way from a lecture which they had been attending, at • the house of the Rev. Mr. Dauby. In that street they saw a man and woman standing together. They had known Mr. M'Carthy, having attended two lectures given by him. They turned, and saw them go along the street, the woman first, the man following. They passed the man, and looked him straight in the face, and found that it was Mr. M'Carthy. They watched them, and saw the woman and the man go into Back Piccadilly, and saw them enter a house of ill-fame. Turner saw that a light was obtained, and the two went up stairs. Murney and Turner watched outside of the house, and heard the Infirmary clock strike eleven. About five minutes after M'Carthy came out of the house ; before this they had been joined by a policeman, who saw the man and the woman speaking in Piccadilly. The whole three saw him come out of the house of ill-fame at five minutes past eleven. They followed him, and saw him go into 23, Lever-street. Mr. Overend contended that the evidence of his witnesses could not be controverted, unless the jury considered that they were committing the grossest, the basest, and most diabolical perjury. The first witness for the defence was then called. The defendant, Mr. Murney, stated that he was engaged in a shoe shop, in Manchester, and that he was a great advocate of Protestant ism. He had been attending the lecture of Mr. Denby's, on the 4th October. He, and three others who were with him, came up to the White Bear, in Piccadilly, about half-past ten o'clock. On proceeding along the street they saw a lady and gentleman. Witness saw two of his companions whisper ing to another, and the three had some conversation together, the result being that they turned round and looked at the man and woman. He (witness) saw it was Mr. M'Carthy, as the lamp shone right in his face. The two (the man and woman) went along the street, and turned up Port-street, the woman being first, crossed over the street, making for Back Piccadilly. Witness ran down China-lane, and turned into Back Piccadilly just in time to see the man enter. Conway and Turner came up to witness, and Conway then left them. Witness and Turner remained opposite the house, when a policeman came up. They stopped there until the Infirmary clock struck eleven. When the clock struck eleven, the policeman and Turner left. They went and stood at the corner of Back Piccadilly and China-lane. Witness stopped at the end of Port-street in a recess, until he saw the gentleman come out of the house. He followed him along Piccadilly and passed him, and again looked in his face. The man then went into Lever-street, and witness saw him go into No. 23 in that street; went to look for Mr. Dauby, but could not find him ; he therefore went home, and wrote the letter in which the alleged libel was contained, and posted it the following morning; Mr. Dauby came down to defendant on the sth, and told him that he must be mistaken, and he went to 23, Lever-street, on the 6th, and saw Mr. M'Carthy, with whom was Mr. Dauby ; charged him again with the offence, and he denied it. In cross-examination by Mr. James, the defendant described the dress of the girl, but said he did not know who she was then, although he did so now. She was then in court ; she had been brought down by his attorney. Always gave the same account of his dodging the man and woman. Witness does not know that he ever let his zeal outstrip his discretion. He got into some trou ble on Sunday last. He was knocked down by some party, who he supposed was a constable. This was outside the Free-trade Hall in Manchester. Elizabeth Schofield was next called. Was in the neigh bourhood of the White Bear, Piccadilly, on the night of the 4th October. A gentleman spoke to her, and they went to a house in Back Piccadilly. This was about a quarter before eleven. " That was Mr. M'Carthy. She had previously seen him twice. He had been pointed out to her as Mr. M.Carthy, late of Birkenhead ; saw him in 1857 in Stret ford--road. Spoke to him, and they conversed a few minutes. Told ono or two gentlemen that she did not know the name of the gentleman who was with her on the 4th October. Told them that the gentleman lived at Huhn°. Did not tell Shandley that - the man in qnestion was not a clergyman or a minister. She told the person that was with Shandley that her gentleman friend was five feet six inches high, dressed in a brown top coat, cut-away waistcoat, had a fresh complexion, and blue eyes. Several other questions were put to the girl, the answers of which embodied her direct evidence, and the further hearing of the case was adjourned till nine o'clock this (Thursday) morn- LIVERPOOL BANKRUPTCY COURT.---WEDNESDAY. BEFORE MR. COMMISSIONER PERRY. In re JOSEPH ATKINSON, OUTFITTER, BLACKPOOL ---His Honour delivered judgment on this bankrupt's application for a certificate, which had been heard on Monday. His Honour said, in this case, if he had only to deal with the banlsupt's accounts, he should have awarded him a certifi cate of' the third class, after a long suspension ; but, as there was a largtP•sum of money altogether unaccounted for, he felt bound entirely to refuse the certificate. - In re FAEDEItICK COX.—This bankrupt was a straw bonnet manufacturer, in . Williamson-square. His last examination had been adjourned for the purpose of his ob taining a certificate under his former bankruptcy, which took place some years ago in the London court. It now appeared that he was still in the same position, and had not obtained a certificate. The case was therefore further adjourned for - three months. In re ORRISTOPIIER Ruccics.—This:bankrupt was a ship, store dealer. in Liverpool. The allowance of his certificate . had been deferred till the bankrupt's estate should realise £l5O. Mr. Hull now appeared on his behalf, and argued that - in accordance. With a recent • decision of the Lord's JusticeS, It was not necessary that the. estate of a bankrupt :who came to the court On his own petition should realise £l5O. His Honour differed with Mr. Mull as to.the view taken by the Lords' JuStices; and said, h.c could not.grant _ any - certificate - till his estate realised the repaired amount. W. T ITTERINGTON.--This, was a meetin g - for choice of new assignees to the estate, of the bankrupt, who was a spirit- dealer and grocer, far Ranelagh,street. The former assignees, Messrs. Greenough and Panson, not .agreeing in their appointment of a solicitor, at the sug ge,stion .of ,the court, had both retired from the office. There was.no creditor present now but Mr. Greenough, and he was therefore appointed sole assignee. In re WILLIAM MANNION.—The bankrupt was formerly a leither.dealer in Duke-street. Mr.'Tyrer. who appeared for the assignees, stated that the amended balance sheet had only been filed two days, and the official assignee had not had time. to•exarnine it, he must therefore apply for an adjournment. Mr. John Yates, jun., for the bankrupt consented. .His Honour. p.djourried the case to the 20th A LIVERPOOL POLICE INTELLIGENCE.- Y_ ESTEIWAY. BEFORE MR. SIA.NSFIELB. CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT.—Henry Rothweli, a gentle manly looking young . man, late a soliciting clerk and collector, in the employment of Messrs. Watkins, ale and porter. brewers of Dublin, whose place of business in Liver pool is in Harrington-street, was brought up on a charge of having embezzled certain sums of money belonging to the firm. Mr. Bluck appeared for the prisoner. From the evidence of G. M. Byrne, the present agent and manager of the company's business in Liverpool, and that of Mr. Henry George Dowse, the recent agent and manager, of the same firm, it appeared that the prisoner was the soliciting clerk to the house. His duty was to receive orders and collect the money, and to hand over the cash he received, every evening, or next morning, to the manager. Nothing was suspected of him until recently, and on the examination of his accounts, certain defalcations were discovered. Mr. Byrne stated that, in three items, he had discovered a deficiency of £lOO in the prisoner's returns, and he proved that the prisoner had not returned the money nor accounted to him for it. Mr. Dowse was also examined, and proved that he had not received certain sums of money received by the prisoner, and returned by him (the prisoner) as paid. Some three items were gone into, where the prisoner had receivad from Mr. Robert Richmond, £53, but he returned only £5O ; in another account, from the same person, he returned only £32 odd where he received £52, and in another case he had received £7 12s 6d from Mr. Winders that he did not return. Mr. Richmond was examined, and proved having paid the prisoner the sums _mentioned, and produced the receipts that he got from him. In reply to Mr. Bluck, Mr. Byrne said the salary of the prisoner from May,. 1856, up to last October was £BO a year, and from October to the present time, £9O a year. He was married, but he did not know what family he had. He said the position of the prisoner, as traveller, was an expensive one, and he was obliged to spend a great deal of money in it. Mr. Dowse, in answer to Mr. Bluck, said he never had any reason to suspect the respectability of the prisoner's character, up to the present time. The policeman who arrested the prisoner, said, he told him the charge, and the prisoner said it was all right, and he handed a slip of paper to Mr. Kehoe, saying the sums put down there were the sums he had taken. A remand was asked for by Mr. Byrne, until he could examine the accounts, and the prisoner was remanded for a week. A PIECE OF " PLATE " !—Henry M'Mullen, recently employed at Mr. M‘Fie's sugar store, was charged for having stolen a brass plate off the gate of the house of Mr. Jones, surgeon, Clarence-street, Everton. Mr. Bluck defended. It appeared that Mr. Jones heard a noise at his gate, and went out to ascertain the cause, when he saw the prisoner wrench off the brass plate and run away with it. He followed, and gave him into custody. Mr. Bluck endea voured to show that the thing was done in a " lark," as some sprigs of nobility are in the habit of taking knockers from doors—not for the purpose of stealing, but "larking." Mr. Mansfield was quite ignorant of such larking, and sent the prisoner for trial at sessions. _ _ A CASE OF PROTECTION. —A few days ago, we published the case of a Mrs. Jane Brandon, the wife of a shipping agent in Pitt-street, whose name is Carl Brandon. She applied, through Mr. Bluck, her solicitor, for an order for protection from her husband, and on her swearing to certain facts, His Worship granted the order. Mr. Cobb came in yesterday, and applied for an • order to rescind the order already made, as he stated the woman had obtained the order by false representations and false swearing, and he thought His Worship would now rescind it. Mr. Bluck opposed the motion, and contended that if the woman had obtained the order as described by his learned friend Mr. Cobb, His Worship could not now alter it, once having made it. His Worship was of the same opinion as Mr. Bluek, but told Mr. Cobb he could apply to the Divorce Court, and get the order rescinded there on evidence and affidavit. HOUSE BREAKlNG.—Catherine•Carlisle was charged under the following circumstances. On the night of Sunday the shop of Mr. Waterson, boot and shoe maker, St. James street, was broken into, and boots and shoos of various de scriptions, to the value of over £2O, stolen therefrom. The thieves got in through a back door, and then removed a square of glass from a window, through which they put a small boy, and thus succeeded in carrying off the property. On Tuesday the prisoner was found with about twelve pairs of the boots in her possession. She refused to give any account of how she got them. She was remanded for the present. BEFORE MESSRS. J. B. LLOYD, AND CASTELLAINE. ASSAULTS.—JuIia Maddox, a respectable married woman, charged Patrick Fitzpatrick, a shop-keeper, in Warwick street, for having assaulted her. 3lr. Campbell was for the complainant, and Mr. Cobb for the defence. It ap peared that on the 29th ult., the complainant went to de fendant's shop to enquire why her mother had been beaten there ? and the answer she got was a beating herself. Three or four witnesses were examined on both sides, when the magistrates said they believed those for the com plainant, and fined the defendant £2 and costs. Edward Wigdell, a foreicrner, was charged with having assaulted Mr. Ashton, the dock-master at the Stanley Dock. The defendant wanted to get a ship into the dock, contrary to the rules and wishes of plaintiff, and in an altercation that took place the assault was committed. The defendant was fined £3 and costs. ' THE BIRKENHEAD COMMISSIONERS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES. Sir,—An incorrect assertion having been made at the meeting of Commissioners, on Tuesday last, by Mr. Gough, as to my qualification —but; on my attempt to explain, discussion being stopped by the Chairman as irregular I beg to state, for the information of the ratepayers, that I am not only qualified a seat at the board by household property, in the township, to near three times the legal amount, but am also rated to the relief of the poor, as well as to the local rates, for my house and office, in the respective sums of £34 and £lB, making a total of £52 per annum ; the required qualification being £35. Any person may satisfy himself of the truth of this by reference to the rate-book. I avoid all personal allusion ; but motives are obvious, at least in Birkenhead.---Your obedient servant, T. B. GoLnoRNE. Birkenhead, April 6, 1859. TO SHIPPERS AND EXPORTERS.—A most profitable articlo of export, to warm climates especially, are the Self cleansing Charcoal Filters, patented by Messrs. Saunders and Co., of 16, Parker-street, Liverpool—in fact they are invaluable wherever there is bad water. S. and Co. allow a liberal discount on export and wholesale orders.

"BLOOMING ANEW."—The normal and healthy state of the human heart tends to recuperation. However rudely its powers be smitten down, they will soon begin to lift themselves anew; and they return to, and often far surpass, their former strength.- It is in love as everything else—and only a diseased and morbid heart, whose first love was sinful idolatry, will be able (trying never so hard to be in consolable) to prove that to lose love's object for ever des troys the power of loving. Wounds must smart and bleed, and some would bleed as if the life were gushing out, and they smart terribly and long ; but unless the life do sink and is extinguished in the strumgle, the worst wounds will certainly heal. This is the gift of God. A most miserable set of wretches would men be were it not so. Smiles and gladness would soon be gone from earth for ever, for who has not had some of his love blighted? .And this elastic power of the mind applies as well to the love between the sexes as to any other love : Every day, every hour, we see that it is so. 'What a pity that poetry and romance should in this regard, be so widely divorced from reality. What person of sense can really suppose that a jilted man or woman, no matter how entirely the ungrateful object of their affections may have been beloved, is always going to pale and sigh beneath the willow, when in the world he may r • find the real worth which imaeination saw in the deceiver.— Away with such a sentiment : c 'forsake and forget the lover that has forsaken you, and you will soon learn to regard, •yourself happy to ha v e so s e aso nably escaped. More - than this, this old love will prove a stepping-stone to atother far higher and better. Be above trying to look forl .jrn an d heart-broken a minute longer than the feeling really lasts : it will twist and ring you hard enough for its t ; .mo : but, as surd as storms pass, it will leave you, and the ‘ in spite of all your holding on to it, as you may do, from an idea that it is a sign of a deep and true nature to be such a loss. It isn't, it's a, mark of 3 .neonsolable under 11 :,eakness. The truly strong and noble seek to r;.se and to h- ' Atom anew i n w h a tever part pf themselves hag b4en made • :.4 MONETARY.

The Great Western Company of Canada to- - day declared a dividend at the rate of three per cent. per annum. The Royal Charter, off Cork to-day, has on freight gold valued at 104,000/. The Paris Bourse rose one-fourth per cent. to day. A full demand for Money was yesterday experien ced ; terms do not at present exceed the Bank minimum of 21 per cent. The brokers were free borrowers, both at ,the Bank of England and at the joint-stock banks r and at some of the latter 21 per cent. was paid for the use of 'the funds from day to day. This circumstance shows that the inquiry is on the increase, and that up to the actual pay ment of the dividends there will be no diminution in the requirements. The influx of capital into the open market through, this distribution will not produce any great effect, especially as there is the prospect of the immediate negotiation of the Indian and RaSsian loans.

In the face of the forthcoming India and Russian loans, and of the drain of silver, few persons contemplate the possibility, under any circumstances, of an early return of buoyancy. An opinion seems to be enter tained, from the proportion of long dated paper now offering, that after the momentary increase of ease that may arise from the payment of the dividends, the tendency will be towards an increase in rates. In the Foreign Exchanges this afternoon there was an adVance in the rates on Vienna and Trieste. The London and North-Western Railway Company have notified that they are ready to renew their bonds falling due at 4 per cent., for five, seven, or ten years. The American ship Florence, of 1,000 tons, has arrived in the London Docks, from Japan, with a cargo consisting chiefly of vegetable wax. This is the first cargo from that country. Times City Article, Tuesday Evening. The announcement of the impending dissolution of Parliament has been unfavourably received in the city, as involving an interruption to business. The consequence has been a fresh decline of about 4 per cent. in the Funds. The continuance of investments tended to support the market. In the other departments of the Stock ',Exchange heaviness prevailed. The demand for money in commercial channels continues active, and little or no business is done below 2 per cent. The punctuality with which the heavy payments matured yesterday have been met, is regarded with much satisfaction, as proving the soundness of the internal trade of the country. A further sum of £65,000 in gold, making a total of £250;000 since the date of the last return, was this day withdrawn from the Bank for exportation. An aggregate of £1,127,000 in Australian gold is known to be on the way to this country, of which about £413,000 is now due or nearly due. The steamer Parana, from the West Indies and Mexico, has brought £129,800 in gold, and n 12,200 in silver. At Vienna, yesterday, the Austrian Funds fell I to 1 per cent., and the Exchange on London rose 13,-, per cent. At Frakfort and Amsterdam there was also a fall of 1 per cent. in the Austrian metaliques,—Da ily News City Article, Tuesday Evening. BRIGHT AND " THE " BUTTERMAN (Air—" Villains and his Dinah.")
