FORGERY AT LIVERPOOL Patrick Lambert, 39, was indicted for having, at Liver pool, on the 13th April last, uttered one forged £5 and two forged £lO Bank of England notes'; and also with having, on the 14th of the same month, uttered one forged £lO an d two forged £5 Bank of England notes. Mr. Littler and Mr. Brett appeared for the prosecution; .Mr. Simon defended the prisoner. Mr. :Littler said that, in this case, he had the honour of appeari.l on behalf of the Bank of England. The mode in which the charge against the prisoner at .the bar was now shaped was this—They said he was found in possession of a number of forged Bank . of England • notes, and that he knew ierfeetly ;well at the time t these t they were forged notes On quc srould r schemes for wetting real been brought into a court tion of the p, be no doubt veal one of tf -value lOT ()au L of justia Ipril last, the prisoner was carrying on . a small business as a tobacconist and barber, in Parliament-street. His priYate house was .in Dawson-street. On that day, a person named Thomas Davidson, who was an a c quain t ance o f th e prisoner, and who, up to last January, was in the employ of _Messrs. Herring and Co. as a porter, which service he loft owing to illness, was informed that the prisoner wanted to .sec him. The prisoner told Dayidson_that he had some- that it.would probably turn out irisoncr produced a, pocket-book, in nsiderable number of bank idson remarked, " Ilow lucky it is for you to The prisoner told Davidson that to embark in the tobacco trade', and that he names 'of the . best manufacturers of ud. They ascertained the names of the principal firms by inquiry on board the Irish steamers, and also by referring' to an Irish directory. The prisoner told Davidson to take lodgings at the Crooked Billet, in Ex change-street East, and said that the hotel might be used as an office. ' lie then directed Davidson to get the heading 4 ‘ 185.... Samuel Goodier, wholesale grocer and g eneral merchant, office, 23, Exchange-street East; warehouse, Temple-street," printed on a quire of note paper that they had purchased at a stationer's shop in Castle-Street, Liverpool. The printing was finished on the sth, and Davidson was then instructed by the prisoner to write a letter, on one of the printed sheets of paper, to Mr. Carroll, tobacco manufacturer, of Dundalk, requesting to be supplied with a list of prices, and with samples of tobacco. To carry out the idea that thing in view fox to his advantage. TI _ which there appeared to notes, arid Dav have so much MOT he intend wanted to know f tobacco in Ir Davidson was to appear as a traveller or agent, the prisoner on the following day bought'him a new hat and a travelling rug, and gave him money to pay`for his lodgings. David son got letters left at the Crooked Billet for " Samuel Goodier," and took them away. It might be urged that up to the 6th April D av id son h a d b een ac ti ng for the prisoner with a guilty knowledge ; but he would be called before the court as a witness, and it would be shown that, on his suspicions being awakened, he put himself in communication with the police, and that after that time he acted entirely under their direction and authority. All letters received for the prisoner at the Crooked Billet were handed to the police. On the 10th of April letters were sent to other tobacco manufacturers, and about the same time a reply came from Mr. Carroll, inclosing samples and prices, and stating that Mr. Carroll had been in Liverpool since the receipt of the prisoner's letter, that he had gone to 28, Exchange-street East, but could not find Mr. Goodier; he hoped his letter would be more successful. There was an intimation that goods would be forwarded on receipt of half-notes.; the other halves to be sent when the goods came to hand. Davidson was in structed to reply to this letter to the following effect : "Your letter came duly to hand, and I am surprised that they did not direct you to my office from the hotel, for my office is next door, and properly should be 28A,; stillletters directed to 28 always came to hand" An order was then given for about £25 worth of tobacco, and the halves of two £lO notes and one 15 note were i nc l ose d i n the letter. The prisoner said to Divi&an, wlien these notes were being cut, " Would you think these notes were forged ?" David son said "No." The prisoner then said he must buy some more notes, and that he had paid 10s. for the £5 notes and 15s. for the notes. The prisoner next ordered Davidson to write other letters of a similar character to Messrs. 11. Murray & Co., Messrs. 0. Murray & Co., and Messrs. P. J ohnson & Co.. These letters also contained the halves of notes. One set of halves were sent to one party, and the counterparts to another party. By this means the prisoner sought to obtlin, for notes representing £25, but which were really worth nothing, goods to the amount of £5O. The total transactions amounted to £lOO worth o f goo ds, to be obtained by forged notes representing £5O. The police, being on the watch in a house that commanded a view of the room occupied by t he Prisoner, saw him em ployed in placing the notes in the letters. When the pri k4oner was in custody, he account e d f or the p ossess i on o f t h e letters by saying that a mancame to his house and wrote them. _ Thomas Davidson was examined, and proved the state Ment 'of the learned counsel.

ASSAULT BY A -ROCHDALE COTTON SPLNN —DAmEr. .v. .PILLiNo.---The plaintiff in this action, who resides at Rochdale, is a retired, cotton spinner,, and has filled everal public offices in .that town, and who is now a poor, The defendant also resides in -Rochdale. law guardian Mr. bverend, Q.C„ and 'Mr. Melhuish appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Monk, Q.C., for the defendant. The learned counsel for the plaintiff said that, if he was rightly instructed, an exceedingly violent assault had been com mitted by the defendant upon the plaintiff, who was a gentleman , of .very considerable position in the town. of Rochdale. The plaintiff was about fifty-five years of age, and had filled the office - of commissioner, and several - ether similar offices, and . was, now a poor-law ~,, r uardian. The defendant is also a. resident in Rochdale, and at present is a cotton spinner. On Thursday, the 21st of April, the plain tiff met with a person named Quail, with whom he had previously consulted about some alterations in his house. Mr. Quail sug,gested that they should gointo an adjoining public-house, and they accordingly went into the Brick layers' Arms. After plaintiff and Mr. Quail had been for some time discussing their own private affairs, a J 34( named Metcalf, another man named Brierly, the Pilling, and some other persons, came into the 1 ;e, and shortly began to iinterfere with the private conversation that was going forward between plaintiff and Arr. Quail. . Brierley first commenced the interference, and asked the plaintiff if the guardians had not that day been voting £lO away. Plaintiff replied that they had been voting £lO to the clerk. Brierly then told plaintiff that he was to have some of it. The defendant and Briefly, followed up this with insulting plaintiff by a variety of imputations. Pining . charged him with being there with two others as .spies of Mr. Cobden. This went on until about half-past eleven o'clock in the evening, when the defendant came up to plaintiff, who was sitting in a rocking-chair, and struck him several severe blows in the face, when he was sitting in the chair in a defenceless position. The plaintiff never resisted the blows ; and, indeed, after the first or second. blow, it was impossible, for . . came to himself he found that his vision was considerilly impaired. It was a totally unprovoked assault; and, itMe facts were proved by the witnesses, it would be a case ,for very considerable damages.—John Punier, the plaintiff, was examined by Mr. Meihuish, and deposed to the main facts stated by counsel. He added that, whilst at the Bricklayers' Arms, the defendant remarked to him that he would vote any way that the town's bully would vote. , Witness said he (lid not know who the town's bully was, and he said it was Mr. Livesey.—Cross-examiued by Mr Ilc,nk, Q.O. . There had be'n an (Ammon of guardians in Rochdale the wcyk before the occurrence. - Was not aware that political feeling rau higher in Rochdale than in other places. It might be so •at that time. There were two candidates at the general election, Mr. Cobden and Sir Alexander Ramsay. Sir Alexander Ramsay was, the Conservative candidate. "Witness belonged to the, Liberal party, and so did the clerk to the guardians. Was not aware that the voting of £lO to the clerk caused much discussion in Rochdale. He did not hear any discussion about it at the Bricklayers' Arms. Was not aware that the town ferriiig to it exposed in the Bricklayers' Arms. Would n o t swear - that, there was not one. If witness called defendent a d d puppy, it was because defendant called him.a d d scamp. He never said to defendant that if he was a few years younger he would give him a d d good to defendant that his factory chinniey leaned towards the bank. lle did not mean to insinuate by that that it ww pledged to the bank. Could not tell what he meant by it. They were rating him so that .he said things which he should never have thought of.—Mr. Quail was next ex amined, and corroborated the plaintiff's statement.—Mr. Monk, Q.C., addressed the jury on behalf of the defendant, and urged that the plaintiff had provoked the attack, by going to a public-house which it was well known was in the interest of the opposite party in politics to that to which he belonged, and that his insulting insinuations respecting the fendaiit's factory chimney caused the defendant to strikc m. : He (the learned counsel) believed that the ,jury would tie plaintif iool a deserved.—Mr. Pitts, schoolmaster of the national Rochdale, Mr. Brierley, and some other witnesses, who were present at the Bricklayers' Arms on the evening in question, were called, and deposed to a number of insulting references made by the plaintiff to the• defendant and his family. The witness "Brierley stated that the defendant was obliged to vote, and he was directed by Mr. Fenton, the banker. Mr. Pilling, the defendant, was also called, and stated the plaintiff told him on the evening in question tha father and his uncles had always b - een obliged to vote a Mr. Fenton told them, and so was he. Witness denied:it and asked the defendant to let the dead rest. Plaintiff then said that he owed the bank money, and that he had it from good authority. Witness asked him to repeat it, which he did, and a scuffle took place between them, when he struck the plaintiff. He did not strike him more than twice. The plaintiff was not sat down in the chair when he struck him. The plaintiff was very insulting to several persons present. He-said to Brierley, " You arc like to vote as Tom Livesey tells you." His lordship very briefly summed up, remarking that he would only say that the facts proved reflected credit defendant struck the first blow, they would give the plain tiff such damages as. they might think him entitled to. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff'—damages, 40s. and Costs. His lordship hereupon said : Your :Verdict_ is for forty shillings damages; the law awards the costs. A juror said : The aim of the jury was to give the largest ainatint of damages that Would carry costs. His lordship said, the jury must give such damages as they thought the plaintiff was reasonably entitled to. The law awarded the costs in certain cases, and according to certain rules, with which the jury had nothing to do.. All they had to do was with the damages. Did they think that forty shillings was a reasonable compensation to the plaintiff for the injuries he had endured at the hands of the defendant ? The jury. after a few moments consultation, returned a verdict for the --r, plaintiff—damages, forty shillings. GLOYN V. HORWITZ AND ANOTHER.--ThiS was an action for an alleged breach of contract ocr the part of the defen dants, who are Russian merchants, having a place of busi ness. at Manchester. The plaintiffs are manufacturers; also residing at Manchester, and the action was brought to recover the price of a quantity of goods sold to the ,defen dants by the plaintiffs, and also for damages for a breach of contract. The case was an intricate one; bat, except to the parties concerned, did not present any feature of interest. Ultimately a verdict by coma Nns taken for the plaintiff for £275. NORTHERN DAILY TIMES.

A model of this extraordinary vessel has lately been ( ;4 . 00ni, White The Principles Mr. - -Clare propOses - in Constructin after his plan, are equally applicable to shit but in the first instance, he recommend ment, a vessel to be built 1,000 feet 'king, with 70 feet of beam, and 30 feet from deck to keel. She is to be 30,000 tons register ; propelled by loth paddle and screw, and fitted with engines. of enormous power. She is to be built like the Leviathan, of two shells, connected together by longitudinal ribs of II iron, which run from end to end of her. These shells are only nine inches apart, and extend from the deck to the keel. She 'will be divided into several y of experi- It is from her external lines and build, the form of th fore and aft ran of her sides, and her peculiar constructio: and proportions, that Mr. Clare depends on for the enor mous speed which he states she will travel at; viz., 25 mile per hour. She is extremely sharp and clean at. her,bows and just above the water ,has two deep grooves sloping off along her sides downwards. The object of these is to lessen the resistance of the water, 'as the wave, which in ordinary vessels is driven before them, will, through these,-find a ready means of escape. _ Similar grooves are constructed along the after part of the ship, terminatiog at tha centre of the rudder, whose power will be increased by eausinz the whole force of the water falling in to be concentrated up on . it. The enlarged vie w of the lap ,of the plates shows_ the arrangements made by kr. Clare for increasing the strength by rivetting the two plates and 'the H iron together, thus securin g three thicknesses of iron at these points along the entire length of the vessel. Indepeiidently of the strength of thc structure itself, it further stiffened by a solid keel of simple construetint, n, seen more clearly by referring to the transverse section. The coal bunkers are placed on either side, the coals being taken from them in equal proportions, as in ordinary vessels. By reducin g the width between the s h e ll s t o 9 i nc h es from 2 feet 10 inches, as in the Leviathan, the patentee is of opinion that he will greatly increase her capacity without in any way decreasing her strength, as the arrangements made in securing the two shells together by means of the H longitudinal ribs or girders, and by lapping the outside plates over each at the point where they butt against these girders, and introducing a system of diagonal trussing, ren ders the whole a structure of the greateSt possible strength We have now simply stated the -`1" —c construction and advan- Ages winch Mr. Clare - expects to obtain from . the adoption of his principle, the value of which can; however, only be decided by actual experiment. We trust 'that in carrying this out his plans will be as succeP sful as those employed in constructing the French floating batteries, which repelled. the 681 b. shot in the Crimea; and which were made from designs furnished by .him. We are also informed that the English floatin„o - batteries were in accordance, with the plans he supplied to the Government in June, 1854.

The learned counsel - then called the following witnesses - Harriett Ann Walker examined daughter of the plaintiff, and was fifteen years of age in March last.

He had connexion with me twice:; the first . time was on a 'Sunday, last summer, in his own house ; the second time was the same night. ,fendant al Cross=exaMined by Mr. J;;111C3 : I did' not tell my father. He shook some chloroform over my head, and made me insensible. I know the Rev. Mr. Walker, but I did not know my father told him I had chloroform administered to me. He took liberties with me twice afterwards,' when I went into his house. A young man of the name of Ambrose Lees was'issistant in the defendant's shop. I never spoke to - Lees, except in the shop. He went away about , Sep tember or October last, but whether to enlist in the army I don't know. I knew Alice - Pilkington, but' I never spoke to her. The defendant told me that Alice Pilking,ton had had a letter from Ambrose Lees. My mother did not tell me about it, nor my father either. Thomas Entwistle said Lees sent his respects to me' in' the letter. He did not tell me that Lees said in the letter he had -enlisted, and that they were to 'bid me farewell for him. I never walked out with Ambrose Lees upon any occasion whatever, and 1-.3 never kissed me, or took any liberty with me. I never was with him in' the kitchen at all, and never went out of my own house when AnibrOse Lees whistled for me, or threw peas at the window. I told my mother all that had taken place between myself and defendant. I told her in January. My mother did not speak to the defendant, and she did not tell my father about it. By Mr. Monk.--Ambrose Lees never courted me. Jane 'Wild, the next witness, deposed to seeing the defen dant and the last witness riding together, at Blackpool; she also saw the defendant with his arm round Miss Walker in the room at - the house where they were lodging at Black pool. James Walker said he was the father of Harriett Ann Walker, and the plaintiff in this action: She was his only child. Tie had known the defendant ten or eleven years ; the defendant was a druggist and grocer. For some months before her confinement she had been unwell, but he did not know of her condition till the 2nd of February T , ‘, Mr. James.—l know the Rev -4 I Mr. Walker, ant. remember him coming to sympathise with me. I told him I understood .Entwistle wasbn the sofa, and my daughter sitting near the table. I. did not tell him that Entwistle went into the shop, took something from a bottle, and then returned, and waved his handkerchief over her, and made her insensible with chloroform, or something else. He heard of a letter coming. from Ambrose Lees, and that Lees sent his respects to Miss Walker. This - closed the evidence on the part of the pliinf;ff Mr. .Tafties then addressed the,j uiy on behalf of the defen dant. Are declared that he never before' saw a case like this put before any jury. It was one of the most extraordinary stories any female could have propounded, and, if his instrue- tions were correct, it was a tissue of falsehoods. This was the defence he would have to lay before them. The defen dant would positively swear that he never had connection with the young girl. He would show them, by a host of witnesses, that thiS' young woman, who swore that she never spoke to Ambrose Lees, saving across the counter in the shop, had been Been, - over and overagain, taking walks with Lees in the direction of the country. They would tell the jury 1--t T 1_ 11 "v, and for her repea that she had -answered the call and c;neolitofthe house. The witnesses, would, moreover, say that Lees used to throw peas at the window, and that, on those occasions, she came out to him. He (Mr. James) would show that, on many occasions, •when she went .to. defendant's house, she went not ITSC anc connection - became of the testimony of this young girl ? Ambrose Lees was a " larky " young man, and he was frequently in the habit of having company, and enjoying, himself at.the shop during his master's absence. It would appear that this young female was amongst those who went to the defendant's house on such occasions. He would show the jury that the two were often seen in the kitchen together, although she swore she never was there with Lees, He would also show that the young woman and Lees were seen in circumstances of such a suspicious character as to leave .oubt upon the mind of anybody that somebody else was the father of the child—not the defendant. The learned counsel, having endeavoured to show the improbability of the whole story, witnesses were called. Thomas Entwistle, the defendant in the case, was exa mined. lie said he was a chemist and druggist at Bury Ile dr 1 - —enied emphatically that he had ever connection with the girl, at anyplace or at any time, and never took any improper liberties with her. Ambrose Lees was formerly in his service, but he left suddenly last year, without assigning that I any reason. By Mr. Monk.—He was quite surprised at Lees leaving him. He never had any quarrel with him. Witness learnt that in his absence Lees had young men and 3 oung women in his house drinking, and that the neighbours had to com plain of. the disturbances. He never kissed Harriet Ann Walker, and he would swear that he never put his arms round her. He never had been charged with being too intimate with any other izirl. . The Rev.

I went to sec Mrs. Smith, the defendant's wife, at Mrs. Showell's.. I did not see Mrs.. Smith, but I told Mrs. Showell what had happened on' the previous even ing. Mrs. Showell requested me to stay Mr. Smith ; "for," said•she, "he will believe him." (Laughter.) the chair back for a short time t to my re came, and sitting on l it was a lie. I said if it 'was, it was on his part. Mrs. 'Showell said she wished his neck had been broken rather than she had seen him again. I said I thought it was a planned job between him and Mr. Showell. He said it was a li e , and added, "Go along, you wretch," to me. Mr. Smith afterwards came to .my father's shop. He said if I did not write a letter and acknowledge my fault, and give him £5 by, to-morrow, he would ----." Without allowing him to finish the sentence my 'father ordered him off the premises. He did not go, and then my father got hold of his shoulders and pushed him down the show-room, sayina. " Go along, you vagabond, .you tried to ruin my daughter." He resisted, and father then turned hini out. Cross-examined : I and my friends were walking- ailout the park from six till nine. I do not remember that we spoke to any one but Mr. Smith. "I :ant not a frequenter of the park. It is two years since I was at the Soho-pool. Was thirty yards from the dancing platform when I .met Smith. Did not walk with a Mr. Parker, and never had done. In re-examination the plaintiff was overcome by emotion, and the Judge requested an usher to support her as she left the witness box. Phoebe Adams, the plaintiff's sister, was then called, and corroborated that portion of her sister's evidence which re ferred to events occurring in her presence.. In cross-ex amination she said their-object in going to the park was to ascertain if Mr. Showell,was inconstant. (Laughter.) • Mr. Benjamin Thomas Adams,'the father of the plaintiff, was then called, and stated the part he took in turning Mr. Smith out of his shop. This being the, plaintiff's case, Mr. Elers addressed the jury for, the defence. Ile said his client would be called to contradict the whole of the plaintiffs statement, and it would therefore 'depend on the amount of credence to be placed' on his- testimony whether their verdict was given for-the plaintiff or defendant. The amount of damages, £lOO, was ridiculnus. It was not pre tended that the defendant committed an aggravated assault, but that he had simply attempted to kiss the plaintiff. The folloWing witnesses were then called : James Nemo Smith, the defendant, said—On the day in question I was passing through Aston Park about eight o'clock, on my way to a friend's house. When I was near the dancing platform I saw the plaintiff and her two friends. _Shook hand s w ith t h e pla i ntiff. The two friends moved off, "and the plaintiff beemn to cry, saying, " Have you semi Ted ?" meaning Mr. ° Showell. I said " No," and she re plied, "If he does .not do his duty my father will make him." In the course of the conversation we walked about forty yards. She conversed on the same subject.. We then returned, and she shook hands with me and ,joined her friends. The defendant then denied all that the plaintiff said had taken place during the interview, and also gave quite a different version of his interview with Mr. Adams. _ _ Edwin Showell.was then called. He stated that he was with the defendant when he went to Mr. Adams. This wit ness, like the defendant, denied the substantial portion of the evidence given by Mr, Adams, In cross-examindion int of ter.)
