THE CASE OF PERSONATION BY
MARY ANN SIIAW.

On Friday the 17th inst, in the Conrt of Pro-
bate, Lon,lon, the case of Mary Ann Shaw came
befor the Judge. She is the plaintiff in a suit
" Osborne v. Brittian, " and Dr. Swabey said
that he had to apply to the Count in a rather
singular case. It haul been already appointed
that no Probate Jury causes would be token
during the present toirm, but he (E)r. Swahey)
now moved, on the affidavit of Mr. Rowland
Price, a solicitor of this town, who was the ad-
viser of the plaintitl, that his Lordship would be
pleased to allow the CUM.° to be tried amongst
the Divorce Jury causes, under the following
circumstances, as set out in the affidavit. The
present plaintiff, then Mary Aim Shaw, was
married on the 21st of February, 1817, at the
church of St Andrew, Bordesley, to James 'writ-
tian, deceased. She was, under the munb of
Mary Ann Shaw, on the 11th of March last,
committed from the Police Office, Birmingham,

" for conspiring with is certain person nnknown,
that the said person unknown should personate
James Brit bun, and that the sithi '1 try Ann
Shaw should he married to the said Junes
tin, that she might entitle herself tJ his (the
said James Drittain's) estate and effects." The
plaintiff in this snit was admitted to bail, and
would he tried at the Warwickshire Summer
enlace. At that trial neither the evidence of
the plaintiff in this salt, use that of Daniel Os-
borne, flaw her hushand, could he taken, and it
would ho likely very materially to prejudice the
hearing of tho ease before a Jury if she shonld
be e,oivieted on the criminal charge. On the
hoarfng of the evidence of the plaintiff, for the
por;iorie of proving her marriage was most ma•
teriel; and also the evidence of Daniel Osborne,
who had been ii,4oa to attend the marriage of
the plaintiff to James Drittain. He (Dr. Swa.
bay) trusted, under the peculiar eirmmstsnees
of time case, that his Lordship would grant the
application to hear the case during the present
term.

Sir J. P. Wilde said the arrangement of the
bnainess of the Gala had heen already fixed.

the public should know a little of our busineas so regard,
the hours we have tO work, for the wages we receive at

we are up nearly every morning at such 1111 early hour an
three o'clock. and on at such a late hour as tenet night,
and are not allowed proper time in which to eat our
meals (especially those who have to live in the house).
Seeing that the London and Birmingham bakers have
taken this matter up. and have formed an association to
work twelve hours per day, and all extra hours to be
paid for as overtime, we think ills quite time that the
Stourbridge, Brierley Hill, and Dudley bakers ahould
adopt such a plan, and form an liSlioC6ll3oll to consider

SENTENCED TO DEATH.

.‘ t the Sming Circuit Court of Justiciary held ut
daat Smith, charged with the
mardei and ouuage of Thou:mina Scott, a child ten
years of age, also with theft, and with the attempted
murder of Jane Creighton, was tried before the Lord
Just lie Clerk and Lord Neaves. Lie prisoner pleaded
to all the charges except that of murder.
witnesses were then called for the prose-

circumstance of the crime were of a very
r • ciotus character. The little girl Thonmeina Scott,
wl.de on her way from the village f Curomertrees,
near Annem, to the town of Annam, to purchase some
groceries, took shelter at a cottage named Longford
Cottage, midway between the two places, inhabited
by a Mrs. Creighton. There she saw the prisoner,
who said he would accompany her on the road.
They left together, and the child never returned
alive. The prisoner, it appears, had taken
her into a wood on the roadside, where he
strangled horn ith a bootlace, outrazed, and robbed
her. He then went to Annan, and having purchased
a pistol there returned to Longford Cottage and made
a murderous assault upon Mrs. Creighton, at whom he
fired a pistol, but that missing its aim he drew a
pocketknife and stabbed her seveial times in the neck,
and was about to strangle lacr on a chair when ..ome
boys who were coming with a message knocked at the
door and disturbed bun. When apprehended he bore
many evidences upon him to prove his guilt of the
murder.

Mr. Stack, who wasconniel on hin behalf, contended
that the rriikuer had been under the lauenoe of the

gTotncl,

state of mind called "moral mania." On this gr,—",
and taking into consideration. the extreme youth of
the prisoner, he urged them, if they did find him guilty,
to recommend him to rn rep.
'rhe jury then retired to consider their verdict. On
their return into court, they returned a verdict of
Guilty on all the charges. The prisoner was sentenced
to be hanged on the l'..ttk of May.

TRIAL FOR MURDER IN FRANCE.

A trial for murder has just taken place at the Court
of Assizes of Tani.etdlaronne, France. The accused,
named Palszot, aged 42, was formerly a soldier in the
Imperial Guard, and son of a late mayor of Espalais,
the place in which the crime was committed. Palazot's
father had been in difficulties, and before his death had
entrusted to a neighbour named Ilawaril a stun of 1400 f.,
with instructions to share it between the accused and
a sister. 1 bibrard, instead of doing so, lodged the sum
with a notary, and it was in consequence claimed by
the creditors of the elder Palazot. The son charged
11Chrard with a breach of confidence, and conceived
against him an intense hatred, which was increased
when the latter purchased a small portion of land
which had belonged to Palazot, and which was sold
under seizure, The accused made no secret of his
determination to be revenged; he at first resolved to
kill Hsbrard, but by a refinement of cruelty he after-
wards thought that his vengeance could be more com-
plete if instead he killed FlC,brards son, a young married
man, who was in a great measure the support of his
father. He announced this resolution t, all his ac-
quaintatres, and once even went so far as to purchase
a gun. 'lnc Hilbrards were aware of this intention,
and with some of their friends made up a sum of 500 f.,
which they gave to Palazot to induce him to abandon
his project. They did not, however, appear to have
made any application to the police to obtain protection.
Palazot left the village, but shortly after, being in
straitened circumstances, he returned to Espalais, with
the same ideas of vengeance. On the 25th of November
he was seen by several persons waiting, armed with
pistols, before the house occupied by the Ilitbrards.
The son presently came out, and the accused discharges'
a pistol at his bead, killing him ou the spot. Palszot
then went to a wine shop and orrdeed a supper, but
was almost immediately arrested. The victim, who
was greatly respected, left a widow and child. The
accused did not deny his guilt, and was sentenced to
hard labour for life.

(From the Standard.)

Two men were at rested last night near Tinekingham
Palace, who had a quantity of I:reek fire in their possession.
it was erroneously rumoured that they had contemplated
setting fire to the Palace with tire combnstible. The real
facts of the case, however, are that the men brought the
Greek lire to the place where they were arrested, by appoint-
ment, having been led to believe by the detective police that
the material was to be received from them in the park by a
trustworthy Fenian agent. Vile Pent= agent with whom
they had been carrying Oil negociations turned out, to their
astonishment and discomfiture, to be, in fact, a detective in
disguise. This person at once took charge of the Greek fire,
end of the men also The whole affair was a scheme of the
&Cu:tires to ascertain the accuracy of their information as
to the men having the tire in their possession, and to secure
their arrest.

A SPOILED HONEYMOON.

A young married couple in Jersey last week met
with a serious misadventure which interfered
grievously with their projected honeymoon. Both were
French, and had been married at the French chapel of
St. Thomas, in New-street. The father of the bride had
opposed the match, and the bridegroom.. golicited the
services of the priest, the Rev. J. F. Volikeryck,
to induce the father to change his mind. All sista,
however, of no avail, and the priest was informed that
the bride elect, being under age, could not, according
to French law, be married without the consent of her
parents, which would not be given. In spite of this
prohibition, M. Volckeryck married the couple, who
immediately set off by the steamer Wonder for St.
Malo, intending to spend the honeymoon in France.
The father telegraphed to the police of St. Malo, in-
forming them of the circumstances, and on the arrival
of the steamer the young couple were confronted by
the police, who gave them the alternative of staying on
board and returning to Jersey the next day, or stepping
on shore and being put in prison to spend the wedding
night within the cold walls of a cell. (M due con-
sideration they resolved to remain wilere they were;
and the next day they returned to Jemmy in s more
cmit-Alion Ant, taunt can be dnenribed.
