His lordship gave sae this paper, sad asked me if I

SO their own resources, LOT I can get a verdict of 301. against

Lord Henry Leman—ln the month of July last I resided
In Portland-place. I had no acquaintance with Lord
Frankfort.

Mr. (trey recalled.—Cram-ezansined by Sir A. Cockburn
—1 became aequainited with Lord Frankfort in 1846 or
1847, when his lordship resided In Jenayn-street. 1 was
at that time in this police, and was superannuated in July,
1861. I west to Lord Frankfort's from an intimation from
his servant, Mary Taylor. I was in a public-house when
she came in. It was at Charing-cram. I saw Sergeant
Thornton that morning at the end of Buckingham-street.
It was about an hoar previous to nay meeting her; that
was about half-past 11. I saw Mary Taylor about an hour
after I saw Thornton. I had some conversation with
Thornton about Lord Frankfort. Mary Taylor came
into the ipublie-house. She knew my name; and
addressed me by num. She tubed me if I had left the
force, and I told her I had. I asked her where she
was living, and she said with Lord Frankfort, and
why don't you MOO and see him. lam sure he will
give you something to do. I think I said to her, "Aro you
still in Lord Frankfort's service?" and she replied, " Yes,"
and eh* said, " Then, why don't you come and see as ?" I
asked her for the address, which she gave me with her own.
Thornton was present and heard what passed, and I gave
him her address. I went about six in the evening to Lord
Frankfort's, and he told me to come in the morning. 1
made a memorandum of the cosversetioe with his lordship
on the 22nd. I intended to make a memorandum of the
conversation ; it was my duty to do so. I saw Field before
then. I heard that the woman had been apprehended
over night. I made the memorandum on the 23rd.
I saw bun again on the 27th, and made a memorandum
in the same way. I called on his lordship &grin on
the 28th, and I saw him afterwards also. That was on
the 30th. I took three pipers from his lordship's
table, without his knowledge or consent. He left
the room to answer the bell, and I took the
paper,. I don't expect say .reward for this infor-
mation. Nothing passed on that subject between Field
and Thornton and myself. I did not tell his lordship that
I was in communication with the police. I became ae.
quainted with him in consequence of complaints he used to
make tome. In Jernsyn.street he occupied ahamben. In
the chambers in Buckingham-street he bad no one to wait
upon him but the woman Taylor.
R -examined by Mr. Bodkin—l knew the woman Taylor
to be in his lordship's !service, as she used to bring his
lordship's letters to me. After we came out of the public.
house I asked her how his lordship was going oa. That
was after she came out of Cox and Greenwood's to cash a
cheque. I have the papers I purloined.
Mr. Francis Tally, _

mined Mr. Oiffosel--Leri Pienldlert was a lieutenant in

remember seven se eight months ago being in the kitchen
in Backlashes' street. I saw a printing press there. I
never saw it worked. Lord Frankfort slow opened the
door. The printing press was in the kitchen live or six
imeathe. I remember receiving some lithographic stones
bees Lord Frsakfort to put a smooth surface on them. I
did se in the kitchen. The press was then gore from the

to the paper being struck off from the same form.
Mr. Macheath called, but not eaamined—This closed the
ease for the prosecution.
The following paper was then put in:
" Mr. Msebeath presents his duty to the Peeresses and
the dariphten of the notility and gentry, and informs them
that he continues to arrange assignations with the most per-
feet impunity and safety.
" Mr. M. begs to call the attention of the ladies to his
longnstablished mode of transacting business. Ile him-
self waits upon them, at dusk sending up his card in •
tissue envelope, always seeing the parties himself, and
arranging personally with them for the reception of the
Lothario of the evening at one o'clock at night, when he is
enabled by his peculiar system to keep the husband insen-
sibly asleep while the parties are amorously engaged in
the drawing-room.
" P.B.—lie guarantees to married women half their
husbands' fortunes, or more if they are found oat; and
will put him in the Ecclesiastical Courts, which are on tho
appendage of his establishment. To spiasten Ise promises
husbands whom he puts in madhouses, and gets all the
fortunes for the wives. His predecessor broke one baronet's
neck for his wife's sake, and having got rid of another, is
now endeavouring to destroy his will. Those ladies who will
turn up with the parties sent, may be satisfied they will be
looked at, but those who refuse to do so will not be looked
at at all." _ _

Sir A. Cockburn then addressed the jury, and contended
that the evidence which had been addaced did not support
the charge of conspiracy, which was one of the charges
brought against Lord Frankfort. No evidence had been
I brought forward to prove that Lord Frankfort and his
housekeeper, or any other person, had conspired; and,
whatever their opinion might he of the documents which
had just been read to them, before they returned a verdict
for conspiracy they must find that more than one person
had in concert carried out a certain purpose, and be-
fore them there was no such evidence. The point
of conspiracy, therefore, having been got rid of,
be would ask them, as sensible men, first, whe-
ther there really was a publication ; and, secondly,
whether they had proof that the !publication had taken
place in the manner charged. There was no positive proof
of publication because no witness bad proved that any per-
eon had received a copy of the ecemaaaisetial alleged ti
have been printed and circulated. irialdlanifiled that there
was no proof that Lord Freakiest had published any libel.
Then came the ether qpissties as te the sahwease of Lord
Henry Lennox sal ether pewees. sad ha pahaitsod on that
point that then ws• no legal widest, beam the jury to
justify them in giving an opinion how the name of Mae-
heath wu munected with Lord Henry Lane& There was
nothing in the way in which the name bed bees appended
to the paper produced that elintoMni the contests of the
paper and the nausea which vow hassled shier the paper,
although the names were es the IMO sheet. The charge
here was, whether there was er was not a publication of
a libel against Lord Henry Lennon. He contended that
there was neither direct nor indirect evidence of the
conspiracy WI to the publication. and that therefore the
jury were bound to give a verdict in favour of the ds•
fondant.
Lord Campbell then summed up, an I, in doing so, said
be was of opinion that the evidence did not prove the
conspiracy; for, although Mary Taylor might have been
carrying papers to the post.office, still she might have been
wholly ignorant of the contents of those papers. The evi
dens would not, therefore, justify them in bringing a Ter-
diet against the defendant on the ground of conspiracy.
The second point was, however, a more serious affair, and
was one to which it was the daty of
_the jury to pay the
greatest sere sad attention. Ills lordship then read over
his notes of the evidence, asauseatiag es he proceeded.
Afar some farther obiereaticas, he left the whole ease to

the consideration of the jury, it being one entirety to their
preview, to dispose of apon the imamate tliat had biers ad-
diced.
The Jury, after a sheet otheallation, returned a verdict
of Guilty.
Sr A. Cockburn had objected to the letters read being
received as evidence, which was overruled.
The Attornef•Clenerol then said he felt justified in call-
ing for immediate judgment.

of the court.

emptying of coffer dams, and such purposes. It appeared
that a similar machine was placed in the Great Exhibition
of 18.51 by • Mr. Appold, for whom the defendants manu-
factured it, and for which a gold medal was awarded to Mr.
Appold. The plaintiff had allowed this invention, for
which he held a patent, to lie dormant until that period,
when he claimed Mr.Appold'a machine as his discovery and
brought the present action to establish his alleged right.
The plaintiffs machine had on one occasion emptied 3,000
gallons of water per minute oat of a cofferdam, and had
been otherwise tested.
For the defence it was endeavoured to prove that the
principle of the alleged invention was substantially the
same as that specified in the patent of a Mr. Hale, obtained
in 1832.

'I be Attorney• General, Mr. Atherton, Q.C., and Mr.

BANKRUPTCY AND INSOLYINCY.—A Lona IMPYINON•
RENT. . _

This insolvent, who had been in prison nearly three
years, applied to be discharged under the act.
Mr. Brow•lie, an upholsterer, opposed in person; Mr.
Cooke supported.
The insolvent was before the court on a former occasion,
and now appeared to receive judgment. He had been •
tea dealer and grocer in Holles-street, Cavendish-square.
lle was made a bankrupt in 1849, and his last examina-
tion was adjourned sine din by Mr. Commissioner Fane.
After a long confinement he applied to this court to
file a petition, as he could not peas the Court of Bank-
ruptcy, and permission was granted on the ground
that a man was not to be imprisoned for life. On the
hearing, Mr. Brownie opposed, and complained that the
insolvent had obtained • quantity of furniture of him for
the purpose of raising money on the same. When the cane
was originally before the court, Mr. Commissioner Law
expressed his intention to give a judgment, but said he
should take into consideration the long imprisonment the
applicant had already suffered.
His Honour (Law) pronounced a judgment of 6 months'
from the vesting order in September, at the snit of Mr.
Brownlie, for fraudulently contracting a debt with him.

THE POLICE COURTS.
MANSION-HOUSE.

Frederick Stecanswsiii;ou itTii; final examination,
on the charge of having feloniously forged a bill of ex-
change for 271. 10s., with intent to defraud William
Fownes.

Since the tint examination, the bill alleged to have been
forged found its way back to the prisoner, and war not pro-
ducible for the prosecution on the present occasion.
The following is a brief statement of the facts:
Wm. Fownes, the prosecutor, an innkeeper at Eritb, in
Kent, had known the prisoner for five years, and had often
purchased corn of him. That acquaintance induced the pri-
soner to solicit the favour of the prosecutor's acceptances,
and the former having received one acceptance for 201.,
which, by the time it became due, was meta-
' morphosed into a bill (or 271. 104. and that bill
not having been honoured, proceedings were commenced,
and the alleged fraud was detected. The bill had been
paid in discharge of a commercial transaction to a Mr.
Milligan, by the prisoner,and the prisoner wee apprehended
upon the representation of the circumstances by the prose.
tutor. Mr. Fontes said, " I accepted the bill for 201. in a
printed form. It iru all filled up with the exception of the
figures at the top of the bill for the amount. The words
' twenty pounds,' were written in the body of the bill.
'll
I authorised him to alter the 201. bill to a bill for
271..10e."

The Lord Mayor wu informed by Mr. Mulleins upon
the second examination, that Mr. Milligan, to whom
the prisoner paid the bill, had returned it to the very per-
son who was under prosecution for having uttered it, and
that therefore, it could not be produced.
The Lord Mayor mid that conduct must be answered
elsewhere, but he was bound, in pursuance of his conscien-
tious duty, to take the further evidence against the pri-
soner, who had, It wu quite obvious, altered the sum on
the bill.

The specific charge was that the prisoner had Altered a
bill drawn for 201. to 271. 10s., after acceptance.
Mr. Darkombe, an omnibus proprietor, deposed that the
prisoner admitted to him that he had got himself into a
mess by making the bill for 271. 10s.
Mr. Robert Hogg, clerk to Mr. Milligan, of Hungerford-
wharf, &rand, hay and corn merchant, said he received
the bill for 271. 10s. from the prisoner, in payment of an
account due to Mr. Milligan.
The officer who apprehended the prisoner said the pri-
soner expressed anxiety to MO the parties who charged him
with forgery, in order to arrange it with them.
Mr. Hogg gave the following additional evidenee.—l
produced the bill on the last examination. I afterwards
obtained it from Mr. Mulleins, and I took it back to Mr.
Milligan and gave it to him. I have had it in my posses-
sion since. Yesterday the prisoner called and spoke to Mr.
Milligan. He said he would make provision for the bill,
and appointed to meet that gentleman at the Con Ex-
change. Mr. Milligan said to me that if he should be satis-
fied be would send me a note from the market. I received
the note from him, desiring me to give up the bill for
271. 10a. to the prisoner, and I accordingly gave it up to
him, and I received from him another bill for 341., which
was supposed to cover all expenses on the former bill. (A
laugh.) I had informed Mr. Milligan that I had produced
the bill, and he was summoned to produce it, but I pro.
duced it with his sanction. When I obtained the bill from
Mr. Mullane I was told when! was to attend again. I had
a notice in writing to attend at the Mansion House, but i
was not told to bring the bill with me.
The Lord Mayor—Did you not know that the prisoner
was charged with haling forged that very bill ?
Witness—l did, but I understood there was lobe another
charge against him, and I supposed the bill for 271. 104. was
done with after it had been °nee produced here. (A. laugh.)
The Lord Mayor—What ! did you not know there was
such a place as the Old Dailey or Newgate ?
Witness--I did. The hill I gave up to the prisoner was
the same bill that was identified by Mr. Fownes as the
forged bill.
Mr. C. Milligan, corn merchant, said, :on 'Monday last,
the prisoner came to my office and told me he would meet
me at the Cern Exchange that day and try and arrange
about Fownes' bill. I saw the bill at my office at the Corn
Exchange. The prisoner and another party offered me a
bill for 351. which wee to cover all expenses, and I sent the
note produced to Mr. Hogg to give up the bill. I was
aware that the bill had been brought to this court. Having
seen it at my office on Monday, and having been offered the
bill for 3.51., I thought it was done with, and I gave this
order to deliver it up to the prisoner. (Laughter.)
A solicitor who attended for Mr. Milligan said his client
had the most distant conception that he was doing
wrong when he gave up the bill.
Mr. BMus (for the prisoner) begged to auk Mr. Hogg
whether he bad observed that the word "seven" had been
squeezed into the bill, as had been stated by Mr. Fownes in
his evidence.__

The Lord Mayor—l cannot allow you to pat any ques-
tionof toe kind. The bill is in your possession, and you
can ascertain what you wish to know by producing it for
reaminatioe. Prisoner, you are charged with forgery and
felony. Do you wish to say anything in your defeats?
The Prisoner-1 am not guilty. I wish to referee my
defence. The bill Mr. Fownes accepted wee for 271. 101.
The prisoner was than committed for trial.
