THE E XPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 28, 1852.

By Mr. Morlkia—Ro had bte• a hty at the 'tidos-
, loan all th, atursoom, sad dui sot go oat anal Ito maned
laforatati•a of as diaturbsace.

The Chief Bares to ;he pree;eatilt—Yois steam le may that
yes were sot seas the plate at all at the time meatimad by
the primmer ?
Prommitor -Certainly, ay Lod.
Mr. C. Stevens, the leadierd of the Bektidayere Arms,
=d that, in mosequemos of the distorhases that was
eo outside kb beam, be seat to the pollee Mattes for
welettmee. There was a gnat crowd of persess, sod the
primmer was astoeg them, sad whoa be asked kim to noire
es be immediately Knish at hiss, but mimed him. St bad
• witaad of his heed at this time.

ied;;C.eliist;, a printer, the neighbourhood, de-
posed that he was present at the time of the eeourrenoe.
The prisoner hail a wound ore hie hoed before the esostable
cane ay, and he mu very violuit, and no am dared to pass
him on the pavenaeot. lie saw the prosecutor pap to him
and advise him to go to • doctor and have hie wound
domed, end be at first appeared to be incliesd to do so, but
when he had gone • few yards he threw the constable down
and jumped upon him. The witness then °mimed the
evidence of the prosecutor with regard to the sabseqeent
conduct of the prisoner.
The prisoner, in en impudent tone, easerted that this wit-
ness was drunk at the time, and that he did not me any-
thiog that occurred.
In answer to • question put by Mr. Bodkin, however,
the wituese declared that he was claim sober, and that be
had not drunk anything during the day likely to make him
intoxicated,

Joseph Thorne, the constable referred to 'try t►. preteen.
for in his evidence, was remitted, and he androted his
testimony with regard to the conduct of the prisoner after
his arrivsl.

Mr. J. S. Firwer, the police surgion, deposed that upon
seeing the prosecutor after the occurrence, be found him in
a very faint and exhausted conaidoe, and ha complained of
very great difficulty in breathing, and alenolgreat pain in
his abdomen and other parts of his parson: Thaw were
very extensive bruises on several parts of his body, and he
spat and vomited blood at the time, sod had eontinued to
do so more or leas ever slam. Then were isolations of his
having received some very severe internal injury. The
injuries be had rehired occasioned very great constitutional
disturbance, and for ten days witness considered his life
was in imminent danger. Ho was still under witness's
are, and he did not believe he would ever again be fit for
his duty. the prosecutor was shout 28, and before this
' occurrence was as fine and hearty a young man as could
be seen.

This was the cue for the prosecution.
The Chief Baron asked the prisoner whether he wished
to say anything in answer to the charge ?
The prisoner replied in a sullen tone that he had nothing
to say. Ile did not know that he was erasing there to be
tried. lie thought ha had already been tried " is the ease,"
end was sentenced to two years' imprisonment.
Mr. Bodkin said he thought it right, in consequenoe of
what the prisoner had said, to state that the prieuner had
been tried for the meads on the other constable, Thorne.
The Chief Baron said they bad nothing to do with that
case on the present oceanoo, and ho again asked the prisoner
whether he wished to say anything to the jury in =ewer to
the present charge ?
The prisoner, sullenly—l have nothing to say.
Ilia Lordship then summed up the ease. He stated to the
jury that the prisoner wee indicted ender a statute which
made it a capital felony for a person to eau= bodily injury
to another by any means with intent to murder him, and
therefore, he said, every person convicted under the
statute would be liable to suffer death • and the
case was consequently one which demanded their
most serious consideration. The section under which

the indietmeat was framed wasvweery
bait, and it was
to the effect that if any masa eh 14 ailmisister poison
to another, or stab or wound moth peen, sr by any othe
means winnow: indict upon enother, WRY :sr dap-
germs to life with latent to ammlt murder, pone.
should H demmod guilty of him, and the gelation the
jury would have to .5144., fee the prom= case was

was perbetly clear that a pen= of peat bodily

INDIAN MARKETS.
BOMBAY, Her. 1.
The Money Market continues well supplied, and rates of
interest are very low, 2 per eent. is the rate in the beaus
for short loans on security of bullion. The Bank of Bom-
bay modiacatios of their charter plan is still much air
cussed in commereiel circles, and we regret to see, on the
pert of those favourable to the scheme, an angryness of ,
feeling, and en attempt at personality, the display of
which is far from becoming. A contemporary lies wisely
remarked that if the Bank of Bombay are to go into
oleo sorts of business, they must he stripped of their
exclusive privileges, and we doubt not the Honourable
Court of Directors will be of the same opinion, indeed it
seems quite monstrous to suppose that a bank is to be
allowed to issue notes to the extent of a million sterling, to
issue bills at 'ix months' sight to the extent of another
million sterling, to advance money on bank shares, railway
sharn, bills of lading, &c., and finally to do a speculative
business in Exchanfre, all under the protection of a charter
of the most protective kind; in fact, giving no security to
the public at all, beyond the amount of the paid-up capital.
Shares and government securities continue in fair request.
