ASSASSINATION Or THE TOWN CLERK OP GREENOCK
IN THE OPEN STREET.—On Thursday afternoon, NIL Gray,
the town clerk of Green. ck, left his office for the purprsc
of making an of visit, but had not gone .ar up the strut
when a young man named Thompson emerged from • nar-
row passage, and walked over to meet him. Haviag ap-
proached Mr. Gray within a few paces, the ruffian took
from under his coat a large sized horse pistol, and, taking
deliberate aim at the unfortunate gentleman, tired it off.
The ball struck hint in the right breast and he staggered
against the wall in a faint:ng state. The report having
attracted the immediate attection of the inhabitants many
went to the aid of the wounded man; whilst others started
off after the assassin, who bed thrown the pistol on to the
around, and was making an active attempt to escape. He,
however, was speedily captured, and with much coolness
admitted having committed the act, and that he had been
on the alert for some time for the purpose of shooting him
The motive Thompson bad for murdering the unfortunate
man appears to have been one of revenue, becsu• o he had
ben prevented by the authorities from selling things in the
open streets. He had been repeatedly summoned I,r the
offence, but it does not appear that he had been dealt harshly
with. He had, however, been beard to say that he would
tJunish Mr. Gray, as the legal assessor of the magistrates. It
is evident that Fe meditated the dreadful act some time ere
he could accomplish i', for it hu now been ascertain. d Volt
he was daily in the habit of carrying the pistol about with
him for the purpose of assassinating one or other of the
authorities. Ile was watching in the neighbourhood of Mr.
Gray's residence nearly the whole of Thur.day. Thompson,
when searched, bad a second bullet and another charge of
powder in his possession. The last accounts received state th►t
very little hopes are entertained of Mr. Gray's recovery.

ATTEMPT TO MUHDEE. THE DEACON OF A CHAPEL —G.
E. IVaterhotue, aged 23, was charged with having, on the
21st of Aptil last, at Dewsbury, shot at Simon Crawshaw,
with intent to murder him. The prisoner and his con
flexions appeared to be will known by several of the jurors,
who prayed to be excused ; others were challenged by the
prisoner; on that tl:ere was a delay before a jury was
sworn.-141r Ingham slated the core.
The primmer uas the
son of a gi,utlernan who lor many years officiated a dis-
senting minister, and Fo rved at Ebeniz..r Cbaml, Dewsbury.
In 1842 the prisoner's father resigned his ministry; after
wh.ch he only survived a year. On flood Friday last the
prisoner went to the doors of Mem zer Chapel, and entered
into conversation with the ch epel keep( r, nr.d inquired it
Simon Crawahaw was in the chapel. The reply was in the
affirmative. Mr. Ceawehaw was one of the deacons of the
chapel when Waterhouse the a filer r, gaited. He also in-
quired after a person named Mr. Hemingway, and then sai .
"Hemingway was one of the men who was against my tether;
but SimenCrawshau was the worst amongst all his enemies."
The prisoner remained outside the chapel for a short time
longer, rata then went to •v Sc...rhorsugh Hotel, appn.l'e
which he stood till the congregation (among wt:Ct was Mr.
Crawahaw' came out of the chapel. Arlie he had passed the
Scarborough Hotel the prisoner followed him, and, taking
out of his pocket • pistol, discharged it. Mr. Crawstraw
turned round, and, observing the 'moiler, exclaimed, "
shot—George Waterhouse has abet me." lie wee immediately
taken int) custody, and while being conveyed to prison said,
" I hope he'll die, for he killed my father." On being
visited in his cell next morning he eagerly inquired as to
Mr. Crawshaw's state. lie was told that Mr Crawshaw was
somewhat better Ito which he replied, " bad rathr he
was dead." appeared that the pil stol hade been
loaded with two swan-shot. One of tl to • had
passed through Mr. Crawillaw's outer clothing; bur
c 'ming in contact with one of his worsted braces had ro-
hounded, doing no injury. The other shot had intend the
hack, and penetrated m a depth of 2 j inches. The wound
was dangerous, sod for 21 days Mr. Crawahaw w.a in a
perilous state. He was, however, now recovered, and was
It material witness.—Mr. Rigby Seymour having ar.dressed
the jury in defence, Mr. Ju-tice Erle summed up.—The jury
returnd a medal of Garrity of shooting with intent to
murder..—The Court ordered judgment of death to be re-
cord( el, but intimat' d that the prisoner's life woald in all
probability be upend, on the conditien that he spent the re.
mainder of his days in ezi.e. The prisnutr mainuaned great

POLICE.-SATURDAY.
MANSION ROUSE.-ALLEUED ROBBERY DT A PORK
Burt:amt.—W. Ragg, a pork butcher, was charged with
having stolen two pigs out of a hunter's shop in Leadenhall-
market. Four dead pigs were lying in the shop of the Can-
plainunt. The prisoner was afterwards seen standing oppo-
site to the shop, looking at the pig', and suddenly two of
them disappeared, and there seas every reason to believe that
they were accompanied by the prisoner's son, who, although
frequently inquired for since, never came forward to deny
the impeachment. Rang had been for some time *customer
to his accuser, whose foreman went to his shop, and limn
him in the act o. c'.oppiu4 off the head of ono of the stolen
pigs. On a policeman searching the prisoner's house he
found a pig's bead in a drawer with a parcel of memoranda,
and which, the foreman said, from its cut, he knew had
termed a part of one of the stolen pigs—The prisoner said
he was perfectly innocent. lie bought the pigs in Hunger-
ford-street, but he did not know the man of when' he pur-
chased them—Remanded.
BOW•STREET.—SAVAGE ASSAULT.— w. Wall was
charged with committing a violent assault upon Hester
Dden.—The complainant stated that she and he r parents
resided in the same house with the prisoner. She met the
prisoner, who was intoxicated, on the stain, and 'le accused
t-er of having rrrele use of tome expreseions &flint( ntal to
his character L. Lis absence, which she assured Mut was nut
the case, upon which he struck her right and ler , and upon
her falling he kicked her rereatediy. He then took from his
pocket a penkhi.e, with whet, he inflicted several wounds in
her Rees and breast, and on her att, mpting to rise he seized
her with gran. violence and threw her over the banisters
from the third to tee second floor landing place.—The pri-
soner put severs' questions to the complainant; and from
her answers it appeared that en the previous day she had
attempted to cut her throat, being tire,: of her life, and it ap-
peared tha,'some derangement of mind was canard by injuries
she had received in her head, ,rum being run over in the streets.
—Constable No 115 proved, that when he was called to the
house there were about 200 persons collected outside,
among whom was the prisoner brandishing a white handled
ponkuife and threatening to Stal, any person who dared to
approach him. He had also a poker in his hand, with which
he assaulted witness, and on the way to the station he re-
peatedly threatened him with the knife. The complainant
told him that the wounds in her nick and chin had been it,-
flicttd by the prisoner. —ln 'newer to the charge the pri-
soner sad that hearing the screams of murder he went up-
stairs and saw the wounds as they appeared in the complain-
ant's neck and face, but he never attempted to throw her
over the banisters as she had described.—Mr. Hall said that
when the officer was called the conduct of the prisoner was
such as to lend to the conclusion that the treatment of the
femte'e we: not LT -T stated, and order, d hiet to pay a flee ot
61. for the assault, or two months' imprismitaent,
assault on the officer, 40'., or 21 days' imprisonment.

clerk in the employ of Mr. Brogden. cuatractor tor the
North Kent Railway, was finally examined, charged with
stealing 521., the property of the South Eastern Railway
Company. In July last the prisoner was in the employ
of Mr. Broaden. and during the temporary absence f the
maueiger at the Gravesead station he entered his offic.., and
carried away 62/. in notes, gold, and silver. Other partie a
were then accused of the robbery, and one person in parti-
cular suffered much from the odium which attached ta his
character, whilst the prisoner was the least suspected. On
Teursday week the prisoner gave himself up to Inspector
Rogers in Kennington-lane, stating that Lis mind had been
for some time ice so wretched a state that he had determined
arts delivering himself up to justice. The testimony of the
want:saes was confirmatory of the prisoner's confession, and
he was fully committed.

RI: non v. THE OXFORD, WORCESTIR, AND WOLVER-
HA MPTON RAILWAY COMPANY.—INJUNCTION.—This was a
motion to dissolve an injunction which the plaintill had oh-
taMed ex perte, restraining the company from cans ing
their works up an land which they hail purchased fr,in him
until they bed paid the purchase m ney. '1 he injunction
had been obtained upon a statement in the bill rind OH.
davits filed by the plaintiff that the company had recently
entered into prpsession of and commenced working upon the
land, and that the plaintiff had only been made aware of the
Let on the 21st of June last. At the hearing of the motion
on the 13th and 14th Met., Mr. Holt and Mr. Stevens, fur rho
conrisny. relit : thelnyito, iron, which it np. enrtd th st in
August, 1847, the company, 'rho were then in possession of
the land, had commenced their works, but that on beicg
warned by the plaintiff that they pm not entitled to do so
till the hind had been paid fur they had desisted. On
another occasion, in October, 1847, the company were pro-
ceeding to enclose another pm: ion of the land, but egnin
desisted on being warned by the plaintiff; and there was
no evidence showing that they had ever recommenced
working since that time. They. contended, therefore, that
as the statement on which the injunction had been obtained
did not accurately disclose the whole truth of the case they
were entitled to have the injunction dissolved with costs,
and that on technical grounds, independently of the merits.
The delay in payment of the purchase money had arisen
out of disputes relating to other matters, but the company
were now willing to pay the money on the injunction being
dissolved.---The Solicitor General and Mr. Bloxam, for the
plaintiff, consented to the dissolution on payment of the
money, but submitted that the statement in the
plaintiff's affidavit was not so inaccurate as t t make
him liable for the costs.—His Honour now gave judgment
upon the motion, observing that it would be straining the
rule of the court too strictly to hold that the statement it,
the plaintiffs affidavit was so inaccurate a tepees, nation of
the fat's as to make him liable to the costs. What the
plaintiff complained of was, not the mere taking powession
by the emapany, but the taking posstasiuti of and ‘vorking
• upon the land; and the evidence showed that the company
had proceeded with their works till warned to desist by the
plaintiff. He should therefore make no order as to coats ;
. but as to the injunction, the order would be that on pay.
ment of the purchase-money with interest from the 18th
May last, the company should be able to proceed with their
works upon the land, and that the injunction should be dia-

an action brought by the Rev. Mr. Roberts, the stipendiary

Tucker, the incumbent of that parish, to recover damages
for a breach of contract.—Seijeant Shee stated the cue for
the plaintiff, who was appointed by the Rev. Mr. Tucker
perpetual curate of St. Botolph, Colchester, to the office of
stipendiary =rote in 1842. The amount of emolument for
the office was derived from two sources. A sum of 2,7001. had
been placed in the hands of commissioners from the Queen
Anne's bounty fund, the interest of which was paid to the
curate, and in addition such further sum as should be con-
iridered proper to be advanced by the Curates' Aid Society,
instituted for the purpose of adding to the stipend of curates
in populous parishes. The plaintiff had been in the receipt
of 701. per annum from this source and the defendant, in the
agreement nominating the plaintiff to his office, undertook
to take all the necessary steps required from an incumbent
to induce the society m question to continue this grant.
For sn,everal years Mr. Tucker did make the necessary appli-
catio which was sanctioned by the bishop of the diocese,

Although Holland has suffered perhaps as little as

sustained by a breach of it. Secondly, supposing such a con- any country in its trade and revenue from the extra-
