is certain that the bulk of those who believe in spi-
ntualiaro, in coiumasioatioos from remote region of
the earth, and even from beyond the grave, are utter
disbelieves in all religion, natural and revealed, un-
happy per, • , in whom the works of the Creator
which eurrotatil them fail to raise • thought of the
Almighty power, wisdom, and goodness, and to whom
the revealed will of God is addressed in vain. It becomes
us to regard such opinion with pity, as far as
they are sionent abstaining from all exprraion of vitupera-
tion, difficult as it may be to avoid blaming those who, by
propagating such delusions, would unsettle men's faith in
one system without even affecting to put anything in its
place. But we of the association bold fast by our owe
opinions, handed down with the sanction of the names most
venerated in all the wear of all the sciences, bald iodised by
the most respected and beloved, and deeply lamented of oar
own body. Death has nom our last emigres,
visited us with irreparable losses, of which the
greatest is that of Sir W. Brown, whose munifiosnos,
almost unexampled in modern times, bestowed upon the
working classes in Liverpool their rich library, and
the great structure for their meetings. The fried of
all meta, bestowing his generosity alike to them without
any distinction, though every one knew how firmly
held were his own priociples of religion as well as
policy, though tempered by forbearance towards whoever
differed with him on either. The loss of Lord Lyndhurst
also betel us at the very close of oar Edinburgh assesblora
and grievous it was both to his friesde and the world. To
say anything of his other merits would be superfluous, but
we here may commemorate the obligations under which he
laid the promoters of improvement is our juriaprodemes.
Beset on all sides by the adversaries to change is the

a moment, under the pressure of Tarty connexion, opposed
the first proposal of load Marti ha opposition was marked
by • candour suited to his great lefacslY, and he soon aft

bezion with the topic now handled, to reflect with manioc-
non on the peace which be enjoyed in his latter days, aid
the lively interest he took is religious study. The book
which be read, without intermiestoo was the New Teets-
meet. It formed for many modes the subject of his
daily perusal; and be left in writing hie important
testimony to the comfort which he derived from the gospel

Beyond the realms of nature and of time.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

(Belem Mr. Baron Pigott.)
Mr. Somme/ Dog Gm, a surgeon pria:tanug at Newington,
surrendered to take his trial ewe an nalicteneat which
charged him with the manslaughter of Elizabeth Brazier.
Mr. Orridge coadooted the prosecution ; and Mr. Sleigh
and Mr. Oppenbeim were counsel for the defence.
This was a cam of rather a peculiar character, the offence
imputed to the prisoner being that he had by negligence
and inattention caused the death of one of his patients
whom be had attended during her coofinernent. It appeared
that the prisoner was in partnership with a gentleman named
Jones, at the time the occurrence took place. and that his
partner had attended the deceased, who was the wife of a
coffee-shop keeper is the borough, during several confine-
men* and that they wore generally of a difficult character;
and it was alleged that Mr. Goes was aware of this
fact from his having misted at ow of thew. He
had been engaged to attend upon the &cowed
during her confinement on this occasion, and it ap-
peased that on the 17th of August be saw her, and at this
time she was in great pain, and her mother-in-law, who
was in attendance upon her, told the defendant that in her
opinion the decreed was thee war her delivery. He, how-
ever, seemed to he of a ooutrary opinion, and said that he
did not believe she would be confined for two or three
week'. He saw her spin of the following day, end it
appeared that the sufferings of the poor woman increased,
and that her husband remonstrated with the defendant for
not visiting her oftener, and he said that it wee pot Daces-
eery. Things went on in this way until Saturday, the 20th
of August ; and it appeared that about nips o'clock at
night the defeudaat went to the hour, and the husband of
the deceased said to him, Doctor. something
must be dew for my poor wife ' • she is sink-
ing fast, and I don't believe site will have
strength to go through what she has to go through." The
defendant replied, " You flail mean that, Brazier," and the
hothead then said, " I do, and I am afraid that she has been
left too long." It appeared that upon this observable, being
made, the defendant became very angry, and maid he did not
understand what wee meant, be had done everything foe the
beet, and it was impossible to be in two places at owe. He,
then, it appeared, went into the bedroom of the deceased,
who was at this time impost pain, and according to the tea-
-1 Woolly of the mother-in-law, be wee dill very anpy, and be
exclaimed that he did not know what Emir meant by
talking to him in the manner he had done, and that he
would cot be spoken to in such a manner by any
man. The mother-in-law told him that he must make some
allowance for the feelings of • hothead who thought that
his wife bad been neglected, and at the same time mid that
if he was unable to come himself, he might have sent some
one ; or, if ha had told them he could not oome, they mull
have obtained the assistance of some other medical man ; to
which he replied, " Seed for them," and put on his hat and
left the house, although the deceased implored him not to
be angry, of.tojo and leave her
then Another medical
Lowellve, was called in mid he
reustuirhO case was of such a difficult 'character
that he called in the aasistaore of Dr. Jarvis, one
of the physicians of St. Thomas's Hospital, sod about
eleven o'clock the same night the deceasd was delivered of
a child. For two or three days afterwards she appeared to
rally, but from that time she became won*, and died on
the 4th of September. These were the chief points of the
ease, zed it was elicited, during the inquiry, that the de-
fendant was at the time in attendance upon soother lady in
the same wighbourhond, whose came was critical, and that
he bad visited the deceased several times between the 17th
sad the 20th, and that he had remained with Mr upon one
occasion for morethan an hour.

Thest;r; ladieal gentlemen above-mentimeed were ex -
arr.ined. and they stated that the case was one of a very
difficult character, and that the death arms from exhaus-
tioe, oosesqueat upon inflammation of the womb, which set
in shortly after the delivery. They both expressed their
inability to coonect the death with the alleged neglect of
the defendant in leaving the deceased at 9 o'clock, and at
the same time Mated that death was likely to take place in
such a case, almost wader any circumstances. Dr. Jones,
however, said that it would have bees better if the deceased
could have bees delivered at as earlier period of the evening
of the 20th, but he was unable to say whether her con-
dition at that boar would have rendered it practicable.

Mr. Sleigh, upon these facts, submitted that there wu no
evidence to go to the jury in support of the charge.
Baron Pigott said that it was necessary to show that
the alleged
.negligeoce contributed either directly or indi-
rectly to causing the death of the deceased, and is this case
the evidence of both the medical gentlemen failed altoge-
ther in establishing that fact It might be oensurable for aoy
medical man, who had undertaken • position of impossibi-
lity, to take offence at something that was said to him and
abandon his post, but that was not the point ; and io order
to support a charge like the present it was neuesary to show
that the neglect was the cause of, or accelerated the death.
He inquired of Mr. Orridge what partial of the evidence he
relied upon..
Mr. p
ro ridge said he felt compelled to admit that there
was nothing to show that the tonne adopted by the defend-
ant had anything to do with coming the death. The case
was one, however, that required to be fully inquired into,
and after the investigation that bad taken place, sod the
observations that had been made by his lordship, he felt
that he ought not to press the inquiry any further.
Baron Pigott mid that it was • very proper ONO for in.
quiry, and it was very Important that it should be known
that an iy medical practitioner, who undertook the delicate
and difficult duty of attending upon a woman in this coo.
ditioo, must not cut that responsibility aside upon slight
grounds.
The jury then, after a short deliberation, returned a 1,01,
diet of Net Guilty, at the same time stating their opinion
that Mr. Goes was highly censurable for leaving the de•
mud at the time he did.
Mr. Sleigh begged to be allowed to state, on behalf of the
defendant, that be had a great number of his patients pre-
sent, who would have testified to the uniform kindliest and
situation he had shown to them, and also that at the time
in question he bad been attending mother cue of labour,
and bad been up night sod day, and was completely worn
out.

The defendant was then discharged from custody.
(Before the Rewarder.)

Dennis Dritroil, 29, labourer, and di& ri Daly, 22,
spinster, were indicted for the commission of a robbery with
violence on John Linfleld, and idealise from his person a
watch, value 21., hie property.
Mr. E. P. Wood (ipstructed by Mr. D. I'. Neale, of Kee-
ningtoo) 000dacted the prosecution; and Mr. Raisin de-
fended the prisoners.
The fact, of the case, as enunciated in his opening by the
learned counsel for the prosecution, and established by the
evidence of the prosecutor, • respectable young MILD, re-
satin in William-street, Great Suffolk-street, in the
Borough. were theme. The proextter had been out to visit
some friends at Walworth, and was returning bona
about • quarter to 1 o'clock in the morning of the
18th August lest, when he turned up • court or gateway
is Greet Suffolk-street. While so engaged be received
a violent *blow in the face front the male primmer,
which failed him to the ground, sad whilst in that
position the blows were repeated by the man ;
whilst the female prisoner seised him by the hair,
and with brutal violence dashed hi bead upon the pave-
ment instil the blood &wed. The promeator, however, was
enabled to give an alarm which attracted the attention of
Mr. Robert Holman, • most respectable man. carrying as
the basin's@ of a cheesernonger in Great Suffolk-street, and
whose private or side entrance into his house was in the
court where the outrage took place. Mr. Holman, as
hearing the alarm, lest no time in answering it, and an
opening the side entrance maw the two prisoners copied In
an attack on the prosecutor. He detained both until •
police-constable arrived, when both prisoners were takes
into custody and conveyed to the police-station at Stops's-
end. On the way to the station, and when arrived there to
prefer the charge, the prosecutor bad mimed his watch,
which be hid loon in his right hand waistcoat pocket, sod
was We there when be fell into this encoanter. He searched
all his pockets at the request of policii.coostable Frost, 79
M, who bed come up on the cry for amistanoe, and, like
Mr. Holman, foiled both the prisoners engaged in their
brutal assault upon the prosecutor, who was proved upon all
heeds to have been perfectly sober at the time, but was
profusely bleeding from the injuries to his head by the
violence of the female prisoner.
There was • singularity in this case, arising ffrom the
fact that the prosecutor, wbo on reaching the station
to make the charge spied the primmer+ of the assault, and
of stealing his watch, assets:ally found it in bin right hand
trousers pocket, in which it bad never been deposited by
him. The evidence of Sergeant Gainer, 25 M, who is sta-
tion sergeant and acting inspector at the Stones-end station,
and of Frost, the constable who took the premium inches's,
clearly showed that from the demeanour and management
of both the prisoners, both before and after the charge
against them was entered, had the fullest opportunity of
placing the watch in the prosecutor's trousers pocket. The
feat was adroitly done by the male prioner under the ve-
to°, of an appeal to the prosecutor not to lock hint up, as
be was only • working manlike himself.

. • .
Mr. Babson made an ingenious address to the jury on behalf
of the male prisoner. mid
The prisoner Ellen Daly vociferated a defence. !the
allegation of which was that the prosecutor h.d invited
her down the court on the promise of the payrusat of a
sixpence. and that she found him et last assaulting her
husband.

The prosecutor was recalled. sod emphatically and
positively denied the insinuation thrown out by the female
prisoner.
The recorder summed up the evidence with his usual
clearness and perspicuity, and the jury. without much deli.
bentiou, returned a verdict of Guilty against both the
prisoners.
In answer to an inquiry by the court as to whether the
prisoners were known to the polio, authorities,
Mr. Thomas Robert firmest, the superintendent of the
Kent constabulary, proved that the mak prisoner had been
convicted of felony in the year larZ, and bad been sentenced
to two years' imprisonment. Sion thee he bas been OM.
viand of robbery in a dwellinghooss, and had bee, sea-
towed to four years' penal servitude for a robbery is a
dwelling-house.
Miss Eliza Brown, one of the female warders of the
Wandsworth House of Correction, deposed that the female
prisoner bad undergone six weeks' imprisonment for as
assault is 1857, and oe the 31st May, 11160, she roam/aced
as imprisonment of twelve most& duration for a rabbery
from the penes.
The Reesirder aid that both the prison,, bad been con-
victed cm the clearest possible evidence of a most gangs
assault and robbery. The sentence upon Driscoll was that
he be kept is pima servitude for the WM of tea yews, sad

that the female prisoner, Daly, be kept in penal servitude
for the term of five years.
On bearing her sentence the female convict uttered the
most violent screams, declaring that abe was murdered. sad
pout iog forth the direst imprecations upon the heads of the
witnesees. She threw herself down, and it wee with the
utmost difficulty, sad with the most violent resistance on
her part, that she was removed to the cells below the dock.
Jaws Cooper, aged 35, grocer, sod Charles Davis, 33,
grocer, both of whom had a geatleraly bearing sad appear
aece,were placed at the bar on an indictment charging them
with conspiring together to defraud divers tradesmen of the
City of London of their goods and property.
Dlr. Metcalfe appeared for the prosecution and the pri-
soner Davis was defended by Mr. Ribtoo, and Mr. Montagu
Williams defended the prisoner Cooper.
The eircumsteaces connected with this ma. have already
appeared at considerable length in the daily police report+,
and may be thus summarised. In the early part of April
last two foreigners engaged a first class office from Mr. May,
the proprietor, in Great Carter-lane. City, at a rental of
4/. 12a. per month, payable in advance, in the &b-
-awl of references. A month's rent was paid in
mimeos, and the two foreigners entered into pm-
amnion of the office, causing to be inscribed oa
the door the name or firm of Montagne and Company.
For • time the two foreigners appeared as the ostensible
merchants they had aanouneed themselves to be to different
traders, but in • short time they disappeared, and were
succeeded first by the prisoner Davis, who was shortly
afterwards joined by the prisoner Cooper, and then nods/
the pretence of baying orders for shipment, they obtained
samples of goods from dives highly respectable firms io
the City, and this was ranted on even when the landlord
had actually distrained upon the premises for arrears of
. . . . .

The trial of this ease occupied the court for upwards of
four hours, and after a minute summiag up of the evideoce
by the Recorder, the jury returned a verdict of Guilty against
both the prisoners.

The Recorder, in passing sentence, uid he ahould make a
distinction, inasmuch as the frauds bad unnamed after
Cooper had joined the fraudulent Arm. The sentence
upon Cooper was that be be imprisoned with bard labour
for 12 calendar months, end on Davis the sentence was 9
months' imprisonment with hard labour.

The remaining mass tried in this court having already
appeared fully in the polio, reports at the time, their
repetition is unneosmary.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.)
Richard Greenwood. 44 clerk, was brought up for judg-
ment. The prisoner pleaded guilty oa Tuesday to several
indictments charging him with embezzling the sums of
144/. 16e. Id., 111.17 a. 11d., 101. 44. 9d., and divers other
matey', the property of his masters, the City of Loudon
Gas Light and Coke Company.
Mr. Sleigh sod Mr. Smart appeared en behalf of the
Gas Company, and Mr. M. Williams appeared for the pri-
soner.

Mr. Sleigh maid the primmer bad pleaded guilty to the
general iodictmeete before the court, and ha (the learned
counsel) and Ilr.Scoart were instructed by the Gas Company,
in which company the prisoner had been clerk atidoillector
for the past eleven years. The moss niontiooed in the in.
cbctment before the court amounted in the aggregate to
about 2001. H►ving stated those short facts he should leave
the matter in the hands of his lordship. With reprd to
the mode of paying the money in he might say it was his
duty day by day to make • report to one of the clerks of
the amounts which be bed received, and which it would be
*air duty to pay into the book on account of the company.
Mr. Williams said his shout had certainly appropriated
several sums of money belonging to his employers, but it
was a fact that he had lately received • small lepcy, every
fifthly; of which be had handed over to the company,
leaving himself and his family without • peony. Before
this affair there had not been the slightest stain upon his
character, and money to the amount of 34,0001. was yearly
passing through his hands, and so well was his general oho.
meter known by the company that be was allowed to go at
large for three months upon giving big word that he would
not leave London, and be had adhered to his word, and
these proceedings had only just been instituted. He had •
large number of witnessea present who would speak to his
character. . . .

A number of gentlemen were then called, who had known
the prisoner for many years, and who gave htm an e.scellent
character. _ . . . . .

The learned Commissioner asked Mr. Sleigh how it was
that the company had allowed thus proceedings to stand
over for three months! . . .

Mr. Sleigh said the books bad to go to an accountant to
discorer the true amount of the defalcations, which were
found to be much larger than was at first anticipated.
The Commissioner was astonished that a public company
should wait to find out what the full amount was before
they put the law in operation. Was be to understand that
amount only was to be a test of crime ?
Mr. Williams said there was no doubt that the prisoner
having been at large for three months bad supposed that
his offence was condoned.
. . . . .

Hr. Sleigh said Mr. Williams had no right to make such
an observation. The true facie were, that the company
were not prepared to find such very large defalcations, for,
u the truth had been freed out of him, lie most inform his
lordship that, according to the prisoner's own statement, the
sums ember:led smouoted in the aggregate to 3,1921. 12s.
Kr. Williams believed that Kr. Sleigh wu misinformed;
but however the matter stood it was an undoubted fact that
the prisoner had restored KW. to the company.
Io paring sentence, the teamed Cemmissiuer said that it
was only by accident that the true state of affairs had come
out. It was no use making any observation to a man like
the prisoner. He regretted that a public company bad not
set the law in motion immediately upon the discovery of the
en.bezzlemeots, and not let the prisoner suppose he was
going to be forgiven. The sentence of the court was, that
the prisoner be kept in penal servitude for five years.
Os hearing his sentenee. the prisoner appeared thunder-
struck, and while being removed buret into a violent fit of
sobbing.
Gtorye Arthur. 31, auctioneer, was indicted for feloni-
ously uttering a forged order for the payment of 41. 15e.
with intent to defraud.

Mr. Daly prosecuted, and Mr. Williams defended.
It appeared from the evidence that on the day named in
the indictment, the prisoner went to a public-house kept by
Mr. Waller, 26, C.:midge-Week called foe • glass of brandy,
in payment of which be tendered the cheque in questing.
which was drawn on Messrs. Seal and Son, bankers, in fawner
of George Arthur. and signed, " Messrs. Phillips, and Co.^
The barman knew him by sight, but did not know when
he lived. Primer said it was all right, he lived at No. 19,
lower down. Ultimately, after speaking to his master
about it, the barman gave him change for the cheque, which
on being presented at Seal's Bank, in Leioeetsr-square, was
diabonoured. It should be mentioned that the cheque was
endorsed on the hack, " George Front." The meaner bad
formerly had an account with Messrs. Seal and Son.
. .

In defence, it eras contended that the pioneer wu a bet-
ting man, and had received the cheque is payment of a
debt. With regard to the name of Loot, that was the name
he went by in betting circles.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty.
There were four other indictments against the prisoner fir
passing forged cheques, but they were not proceeded with.
The Commissioner sentenced bim to five years' penal ser-
vuude.

William Bartholomew, 19, shoproan. William Walker,
X, closer, Jamie Walker, 54, shoen.aker, and Marta;
Walker, 44, married, were 'edictal, 13s;tholornew for
stealleg 11 pairs of boots, four shirts, four pairs of socks,
and three handkerchiefs, of John Kettle Nine, his meter ;
and William Walker, James Walker, and Martha Walker
were indicted for feloniously reopiving the same, wall know-
ing them to be stolen.
Mr. Shiers Will prosecuted ; and Mr. Daly defender,
Bartholomew. The other primmer, were undefended.
The jury found William Walker sod Betholoonew Guilty
andArouitteck James Walker sod Martha Walker.

The learned Commissioner sentenced Bartholomew to
twelve months' imprisonmerit. With regard to Walker
there was no doubt he was the one who bad tempted Bu-
tholomew, and he was accordingly sentenced to five yearn'
penal servitude.
Charks Duggan, 22. was indicted for oommitting as as-
sault upon the pence of Benjamin Goodwood.
Mr. lAwrence prosecuted ; sod Mr. Collins defended.
. _

In the first instance the prisoner bad been tried with two
others for a robbery with violence upon the person of the
prosecutor, but the whole of the prisoners bed been acquitted,
when Duggan was put upon his trial for the ass►ult. It ap-
peared that the prosecutor had met the prisoner and the
two men who were acquitted, at a public.house in St.
Georges-in-the-Etat, and they bad followed him for
some distaoce, and when they bad got him into a back
street they went, up ►nd demanded moony of him, and when
be said he had none, Duggan knocked him down. A wit-
ness who had been following them, obtained assistance and
gave them all into custody.
In defence it was urged that it was merely a drunken row.
The jury Acquitted the prisoner.
Emma Milkmen, 20, pleaded guilty to an iodictmset
charging her with concealing the birth of her illegitimate
chili.
Sentence postponed till next 'onion.
This case concluded the busload; of the session, and the
court was adjourned until Monday, 24th October.

mistaken in saying that wee the same Mein. Having left a
newspaper in the carriage. he west back for it, and be really

Sergeant Horickton said that the only train which brought
passengers from London-bridge went from another platform,
so that such a mistake was impossible. Is the interval of

to take we of him, he should not be sent to prison this
time.
