intelligence that had been displayed in other came. Surely,
than, after the evidence of such • pencil as Mx.
the finding
was too much to ask their lonlehips to condemn the finding
of a foreign tribunal (Cheers-) Then they were told
that the sentence of ten years' imprisonment with
forced labour was too severs; but it was the penalty awarded
Iby the criminal code to persons guilty of conapirsoy.
It appeared evident from what had been the =anon of
Bishop that he was a man not of a very strong mind, sad
he was a man who would hardly have been expected to have
I taken the part of conspirator. Prince Torelli was a person
who had been known to have liberal opinions, and it was
supposed that he was discontented with the existing go-
; raiment, and that he might possibly be induced to conspire
to oven :urn it. Bat it was evident to these crafty conspi-
rators who were engaged in an attempt to overturn the
government that there would be great risk in attempting
to get Prince Torelli to join in their conspiracy,
because there was nothing more likely than
that he should my, "so far from joining
your plot I shall denounce you to the government." There-
fore, what did they do! They went to Bishop and got him
to write a letter to Prince Toralli, asking him if he would
i join the conspirators. He wished to know whether Prince
i Torelli was inclined to oommit treason or not. Bishop said
it was a pit= of innocent curiosity with which he wrote
that letter—{laughter)—but it was evident to everybody
else except to the counsel of the prisoner that there was a
deep conspiracy, and that the conspirators, nothkiog to risk
thew own necks, to put their own necks into the noose, and
subject themselves to what might be a capital convietioo,
went to this unfortunate Mr. Bishop, and got him to !u-
-sage in this treasonable conspiracy, and expose himasif to the
risk to which they were rot willing to expose themselves.
When the government beard of the mental:los, which was pro-
nounced on the 6th of September, Sir Jame@ Hudson was
inetruc:ed on the 22nd September to request an imme-
diate pardon on grounds, which be (Earl Russell)
thought were fully sufficient—namely, that though
he was guilty, yet being a vary simple person,
not very deeply engaged in the conapirecy, and being in •
very infirm state of health, a sentence of ten years to the
galleys would take his life, and it was stated to the Italian
government that if inch • case were brought before our
Home Secretary in England, the ground of infirm health
alone would be sufficient to obtain for him a remission of
the metes= Tie Italian government, oo the ith of Oct.,
replied that inquiries had been made into the state of Mr.
Bishop's health, that be had been relieved from hard labour,
and that he would be treated with every possible leniency.
That he believed was the order of General Marmon'. Sir
James Hudson was again instructed to speak to Count
Ratazzi, sod endeavour to get a remission of the sentence.
Count Ratazzi refused to listen to anything of the kind.
Sir Jame* Hudson then addressed an official note request-
ing Mr. Bishop's pardoo at the hands of the government,
sod it was stet= that if pardoned Mr. Bishop would at
once leave Italy. On the 28th of January the
Italian minister replied that the King would
not consent to • pardon, but the, be had com-
muted the sentence, and had taken off the hard
labour, and instead of ten years at the galleys, Mr. Bishop
was to be sonflnel in • fortress. In the beginning of the
year, Mr. Bishop was transferred to • fortress on the Apple-
nines. Her Ms s government again complaioed of the
hardship of their sending him to • fortress in that position,
and then the Italian government sent him to the infirmary
in the fortress at Alexandria, where he is at present
They hal beard nothing more, but after the last
application was made, the Minister of Foreign
Affairs informed Sir James Hodson that Bishop
hod been removed to the infirmary, where be now was, and
that on the first fitting ocean= he should propose that •
pardon should be granted to him. His noble fnerd seemed
to think that be (Earl Rumen) had been indifferent to the
me of Bishop ; but the fact was that that person bad in-
volved himself in the political troubles and conspiracies of
Italy
.... and everybody knew that a man who en-
in a conspiracy did so at his own risk ;
r'...perilled his life for an object that he
thought was worth the sacrifice, if he should
fail. Mr. Bishop had been found with this letter in
his nonunion. He had been brought to trial by the Italian
government before a duly constituted tribunal, and he was
convicted by the jury, and was sentenced by the judge ac-
cording to law. His sentence had since been commuted, sad
with regard to him they had received the assurance of the
Italian government that on the fart favourable op-
portnoity ha should be pardoned. He most say that
he thought her Majesty's government had adopted
the bast course they could in reference to this
matter. If be bed mid to the Italian minister,
whoa, be knew very well, "if you would do me a personal
favour release Mr. Bishop," he thought he should be
doing Mr. Bishop a greater favour than his noble Mead had
by bringing the case before this house. His noble friend
was a vary formidable person to the Italian goveramset,
and he could hardly expect the Italian government to re-
lease one of his friends bemuse he was his hiss&

COURT OP COMMON PLEAS. —MAT 11.
Wisp M Niifiddlimma.--(Edare Yr. Justice
r Bytes sad a Ooninion Jury.)

TOIL r. ELBI.II.—CONNINIIIVIT AS • LUNATIC.
The plaintiff in this case sou 60003111b11{011 agent living in
Brunswick-terrace, Camberwell, and he claimed to recover
damages from the defendant, the relieving officer of Lam-
beth, for false imprisonment. The imprisonment wen-
plained of was confining the plaintiff for some days as a
lunatic.
Diakis and Kr. Lloyd appeared for the plaintiff ; and
Mr. Serjeant Ballantine for the defendant.
The pbdutifte case was that he was at home on the even-
ing of the 2eith May, 1862, when a cab was driven to the
door and the defendant, accompe&ed by two paupers, one
of whom carried a strait waistcoat, entered the plaintiff's
room, and the defendant said, ' You are my prisoner • you
must go to the lunatic asylum." The plaintiff agreed to go
quietly, and having got into the cab he wiry driven to Um.
both Workhouse, and was there plated in the lunatic asylum
attached to that building. After four days be was visited
by the surgeon, and at the end of ten days he was examined
by the board, who discharged him as being sane. The
plaintiff however wee at that time suffering from then-
putty gout, and two days more elapsed before he could
. .

The plaintiff, having deposed to three circumstances,
was afterwards cross-examined, with the view of showing
that he had behaved in a violent and irrational manner in
ousequeoce of 111001111iVe drinking. He said that he we.
taken to the wukhouse upon the information of his
daughter, a young woman seventeen or eighteen years old,
but he denied that he had ever threatened to murder himself
or his children. He bad sometimes taken too much drink
sad gone boom in that state, and he and his daughter had
quarrelled. He denied having taken a razor to destroy
himself. He had boxed his daughter's:eau and shook her
*little because she was insolent. He might have tamed
her out of his bones ; he was rather suitable when in-
toxicated. He had • sou, a little boy, who was cal'ed the
" Desire Dowling," because he was so miechievous—(laugh.
ter)—and he hed dueeteoed to throb that boy, and the
neighbours had interfered. This boy used to keep out of the
way when witness wu in liquor. Witness might, whet
drank, have careaud an arm chair, but if be had done so
there most have been a lady in it. (Laughter.)
Dr. Bolles, the union doctor, said that when he saw the
plaintiff in me asylum there didnot seem to be anything
the matter with his mind.
. . . .

-17.117nt:;iiTiaa ki;neacted busineni with the plaintiff
to a large amount, also thouht his mind wee unaffected,
though he was at times a little excited.
Fo' the defendant it was admitted that there mod be a
verdict for the plaintiff, inasmuch u in confining him the
proper proceedings under the us; of parliament had not been
taken, but it was submitted that the defendant had acted for
the benefit of the plaintiff and his family, and that the da-
mages should be only nominal.
The defendant stated that the plaintiff. daughter applied
to him, complaining of the conduct of her fathir, and the
rhe.isibbimrs complained as well. He sivised bet to
apply to the magistrate ; but she acid
sent her to vnin•Sl. She produced a certificate from a
mike' o'er, dated the 24th May, which stated, "I certify
that Mr. Turk is of unsound mind aggravated by drink, and
that he is quite unfit to be at large r and it wu added that
he had threatened hie own life and those of his children. It
was under these circumstances that witness acted. - _

Yr. Browning, the proprister of V.(3ol7eivia Sale
Rooms, said that the plaintiff subscribed at those rooms
until March, 1862, when subscribers complained of his nor
duct, and witness declined to take his subscription.
A female servant of Mr. Hammond. the plaintiff's next
door neighbour, said that the plaintiff's children had ootn-
plained to her that their father was very violent, and she
bad herself heard him threaten to murder the children and
himself also. _ _ _

Mr. Wells, A neighbour, mid that the plaintiff's daugh-
ters complained to him of their father, and be advised them
to go to the police-station.
Mr. Justice Byles, in summing up, said that if they
thought that the defendant bad meted housefly in this
matter he was much to be pitied, for though his interference
bad probably been for the benefit of the plaintiff and his
family, still, as there must be a verdict for the plaintiff, the
defendant must pay his own costa. It was for them to may
whether, in addition, be ought to pay substantial damages.

POOLI O. LIM& —A TAILOR'S BILL.

This was an action brought b Mr. Fool% tailor, in
Sav'lls-row, to recover 301. 9a. 6d. hum Mr. C. W. Lewis, a
barrister, for goods sold and delivered.
Mr. Hawkins, Q. 0., and Mr. D. Beane, were counsel for
the plaintiff ; and Mr. Gibbons for the defendant.
The ease having been opened by Mr. Hawkins, the shop-
man proved the delivery of the articles, and admitted on
cross-examination that the usual terms which were printed
on the invoices were twelve months' credit if Mr. Poole was
satisfied with the customer, or 15/. per cent. distoust for
cash. The charge of V. 14s. 6d. for an ordinary Melton
coat would be subject to that discount for ready money.
Mr. Baron Martin said be had in another case hadoccadon
to consider the effect of the heading to Mr. Poole's invoices,
and be arrived at the conclusion that itwes a very carefully
prepared heading, and meant that be gave credit for twelve
months on certain terms, but that if be thought fit he might
sue for the money before the expiration of that period. It
might seem to be a hard thing sad unfair to sue a customer
before the end of the twelve months, but Mr. Poole did so at
his own peril, because if he offended his customers he would
probably lose them.
Mr. Gibbons said the defence was that the goods were
supplied on the understanding that the defendant was to
' have six months' credit, which had not yet expired. He
referred to the high prices charged is the invoice, and Buh-
-1 mated that it was only reasonable to suppose that those
were the terms agreed upon between the parties. He ad-
mated that the defendant had been in difficulties, but said
there was no reason to doubt that he would be able to pay
the money when it became doe. The goods were delivered
in March last, and immediately afterwards the plaintiff,
who had probably learnt from the trade circularitEib-
lication known as the "Black List," which was
sent
sent to all tradesmen in London, that Mr. Lewis had in
difficulty, went before a judge at chambers and made an
affidavit to the effect that the defendant was going to
Paris, in order to be out of the jurisdiction of the court sod
avoid payment of the debt. He then obtained a amiss,
and had the defendant arrested and locked up, in the hope
no doubt that his friends would come forward and pay the
money. In that expectation, however, he was disappointed,
as the defendant never had any intention to leave the
country, and on the learned judge being convinced of that
he made an order discharging him from custody. The
learned oounsel further stated that the defendant sever
repaired any account for the clothes until after the action
was brought, and that the first he saw he obtained by mass
of a judge's order.
Mrs. Lewis, the wife of the defendant, said that she
opened the different parcels of clothes, but some of them
contained any bill. On the 23rd of March a young man
named Lee came to their lodgings to try on her riding habit.
He said he would like to see Mr. Lewis, but he was not at
home. He said he wished to see him about the account,
sod she replied that she thought her husband was to have
six months' credit. He said it was so, but he had heard
something, and be wished to enter into a fresh arrangement.
On the 26th he was served with a espies, and on the follow-
ing day arrested.
On cross-examination the witness said her husband be-
came a bankrupt in 1861, but she did not know whether his
debts amounted to 2,0001., and that he offered to set aside
401. a year for his creditors, which he had never paid. She
said he was not now present, having gone to the City on
business, and professed entire ignorance as to what his occu-
pations were, except that she believed be was engaged from
morning till night at chambers.
Mr. Lee, the collecting clerk of Mr. Poole, said he had
several times called to see Mr. Lewis, but was always told
that he was not at home, although the landlady afterwards
informed him that be was invariably in the back parlour,
' but put forward lira. Lewis when any one called. He denied
that Mrs. Lewis told him that her husband had received six
mouths' credit for the clothe., and said he had never made
an arrangemept with him at the shop that he should have
such credit, as be had no authority to enter into any con-
tract of that Mod for his employees- When he tried on
the riding habit Mrs. Lewis told him that they were going
to remove in the following week, but be found that they
west to another address than that she gave him, and he
lost the scent.
. _

in summing up the evidence, commented
severely on the absence of the defendant, who he said, if he
were an boneet and respectable man, ought to have been
glad to come forward and answer the questions which be
was aware would probably be put to him se to the manner
in which he bad got the goods
The learned Judge left it for the jury to say whether
there was any absolute motract that the debt should not
be recoverable until after the expiration of six months.
The jury, after some deliberation in the box, said they
were of opinion that there was such a contract, andl found •
verdioc for the defendant.
. .

Mr. Hawkins, who seemed greatly surprised at the ver-
dict, asked his lordship whether he thought there was any
evidenoe whatever of a contract.

Mr. Baron Martin aaid that objection ought to haws been
taken a► the conclusion of the defendant's evidence.

M.. Hawkins said it was monstrous that the expense of
setting aside a verdict which was founded on no evidence,
and otZa sew trial, should be totally thrown away without
any reason whatever.
Mr. Baron Martin—Certalaly ; but the proceedings in
trials must be ecoducted in a regular manner. Everything
here has been perfectly regular.
Mr. Hawkins—l am druid, my lard, that it in regular
wedge. (Laughter.)

Some of the jury seemed diapoeed to dircuse the matter,
but they were stopped by the leerned judge, who add that
their duty io the cue had terminated.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

Thomas Richardinm , 35, a respectable looking man, who
pleaded guilty at the last 11611101111 to a charge of eml;aule-
inent, was brought up for judgment. It was stated that
the primmer was employed in • confidential capacity, and
that the total amount of money ha had embesslad was over
4004
. _

The prisoner addressed his lordship, and reminded him
that he had pleaded guilty, and said that he hoped he would
"temper justice with mercy."
The Recorder said he Meld not find anything in the eau
that would justify him in dealing lightly with the primmer.
He had been proved to have robbed his employer of mossy
to • large amount, and he refused to give any acersuit at
what had become of it. The seateace epos him, therefore,
would be our of penal servitude for six years.
Edward Lewis, a middle-aged man, surrendered to take
hie trial upon • charge of unlawfully obtaining 801. from
George Davis by fain pretences.
Mr. Ribbon and Mr. Collins appeared for the prosecution ;
Mr. Laxton was counsel for the defendant.
The prosecutor in this case was formerly bandmaster on
board the Edgar, one of her Majesty's ships of war, but it
appeared that he had left the Novice ill September Let, and
was at that time looking out for some employment. His
attention was attracted by en advertisement in the Daily
Telegraph about this period, which represented that a clerk
was required in a commercial establishment, but that • de-
posit of 501. would be required se security, and he answered it,
and received • letter from the deft dated from Bt.
James'eplace, Fall-mall, and signed ")LP.," and he sub-
sequently called upon him at Eaton-street, Oresvenor-place.
There was • large board outside the house upon which were
painted the words, "Loan„ Discount, and Deposit Bank,"
and there were thuds which bore the same inscription, and
" Established 1849." Upon the prosecutor being introduced
to the defendant, he said that be was the propnetor of the
establishment, and that he was in the habit of • ivancing
large sums of mosey, and that the duties he would have
to perform would be to keep the books, and to make entries
of the different loans and the amounts of the instalments
that were repaid by the different borrowers. The de.
fondant also showed the prosecutor several large books,
and called his attention to the entries that wan made in them,
and the latter said that if this was all that was required of
him he thought he should be quite compeSint to undertake
the situation. The defendant then asked if he was prepared
to pay the 501., the sum that was rr mired as a deposit, and
the prosecutor said he was not ready to give him the
money at that moment, but he would do so in • day or two,
end os the 3rd of October he gave the defendant 101., and
on the 7th of the same month he gave him the
further sum of 4u1., and entered upon the per-
fermium of his duties. The agreement made by the
defendant was that the prosecutor should be paid 11. • week
salary, and 1 per cent. commission upon all loans that were
advanced; but the prosecutor speedily found that no legiti-
mate business in connexion with loan advances was carried
on, and that although numerous applications were made for
loans, no money was alvamod in any case ; and, had ad,
there did not appear to be any mosey to lend, and at length
the prosecutor requested the defendant to let him go, and
give bim back his 501., bat he re:osed to deep, and told him
that he might take any steps he pleaded in the matte.
The prosecutor stated that the only work be had
ever been called upon to perform was to rule •
book, but he had never had omission to make a single entry in
that book • bat it appeared that he was paid his salary for •
few weeks, and then the supplies were altogether stopped,
and it turned out that, instead of having carried on the
business of a loan office at Eaton-street since the year 1849,
the defendant bad only recently removed to that prim., and
that the board and the blinds had been brought from •
similar establishment in the Blackfriars.road. The sugges-
tion on the pert of the prosecution, therefore, was that the
pretended loan office was a sham and a swindle, and that the
prosecutor had, by means of that fraud, been cheated of his
money.
The defence that was sought to be set up for the defen-
dant was that the business at Fatonetreet was • genuine
business, and that the defendant had for • great many years
carried on an extensive business as a monetary agent, or
loan-office keeper, in conjunction with his sister and • bro-
ther, and that be bad establishments of that character in
Fetter-lane, in the BlackfrianAroad, and at Newington.
The evidence that was given upon these points was, how-
ever, of a very conflicting and contradictory character, and
this important fact was elicited in cromexamioation, that
ally • very short time before he had represented himself to
the prosecutor as a man of wealth, and to have large sums
of money invested in loans to different parties, the defen-
dant had made a composition with his creditors, and was
able to pay only one shilling in the peed.
Mr. Eaton, in his reply upon the evidence that had been
adduced for the defence, urged that it heal been abundantly
established that the prosecutor had been defrauded of his
money by the false pretence that was made to him that the
defendant was carrying on an extensive business as a money
lender, and that this baldness had been established since
the year 1849. He contended that there could be no doubt
that this representation was entirely false, and that the
object in view was to defraud puma who were not con-
versant with the tricks of London, of any money they might
possess, and he said be hoped that the exposure that had
now been made would have the effect of protecting inex-
perienced persons, and also the public generally, from being
victimind by heads of this description.
The Recorder having summed up, the jury almost imme-
diately returned • verdict of Guilty.
His lordship, in sentencing the defendant, said that he
had been convicted upon very clear evidence of a most gram
fraud, by means of which he had obtained 804 from the
prosecutor. The court had reason to believe that frauds of
this description were very frequently practised, and they
bore very hard upon persons who meld ill afford to lose
their mousy. It was neceseary that such an offence should
be repressed, and, as a warning to him and to others, the
*oakum. upon him would be imprisonment, with hard
labour, for twelve months.

Eli:abet/I Warrinson was brought before the Lord Mayor

appeared that she wee pseeleg Omagh Wiadaor-street, when
she beard thedefendantnllmgawaman some very bad name•
and using most disgusting language, when she remarked
that she ought to be ashamed of herself, upon which she
rushed at her and struck her on the temple with a plate
which abe had in her band, and which broke and inflicted •
severe wound. The complainant was knocked down, and
the defendant stabbed her in the face and arm, inflicting
two very severe wounds, but it was not known what
weapon was used.
The complainant, whose face and bead were covered with
stopping planter, handed in • certificate from the surgeon.
The defendant called vitamin*, who stated that the coin.
plamant was the first to commence the attack, which she
did by taking the other by the hair and pulling her to the
ground. One of the witnesses averred that it took her
nearly ten ninnies to get her ringers disentangled from the
other woman's hair. The defendant herself produced a
bunch of bair apparently sufficient to cover any person's
head, which, @Le said, the complainant pulled from her

the driver wee doggies it in • most brutal romps,
and continued to do so the whole length of thstiest, ir

necessity for dogging the horse at all, and the act was the
more cruel as the street was a steep ascent, and the driver,
instead of giving the bores its head, prevented its progress
by curbing it in. Hie lordship spoke to the driver, and told
bus he would certainly give him into custody if be continued
to dog the horse in that cruel way. The driver, however,
