LUDATAD'II Divones Mereweather examined
a great number of witnesses in support of the second reading
of this bill of the Rev. Frederick Lugard. From their
statements it appeared that Mr. Lugard was married to Miss
Morgan in the parish church of West Lavingtoa in the year
1834 • they lived together on the happiest term., and had
two children prior to the year 1838. In that year Mr. Lu-
gard was offered a chaplaincy in India, whither be pro-
ceeded with his wife and children. In 1813 Mrs. Lugard
fell into bad health •, she was sent home with her chil-
dren (three in number) for the benefit of her health,
and took up her residence in Sloane-street, neer to the re-
sidence of Captain and Mrs. Lugard, the lather and mother
of her husband. Soon afterwards the Rev. Mr. Robinson,
rector of St. Andrew's, Holborn, and husband of the Rev.
Mr. Lugard's sister, went to Teignmouth, in Devonshire,
far the benefit of his health. Mrs. Lugard and her children
went with him, and resided there until March, 1846. Mrs.
Lugard then leR Teignmouth, and was traced to Plymouth,
where she was found living in lodgings with a Mr. Kristin.
The Rev. Mr. Robinson and his wife and Mrs. lagard (the
mother-in-law) went down to Plymouth, and found Mn.
Lugard in the lodgings, far advanced in pregnancy. Frsea
Plymouth the lady and Mr. Kelson were traced
to Guernsey, and from Guernsey to Paris, where
they still reside, and where notice of these pro-
ceedings has been served on Mrs. Lugard. Mr. Ro-
binson knew Kelson at Teignmouth, An action for
damages was brought in Mr. Lugard's name against Mr.
Kelson, who allowed judgment to go by default, and on the
inquiry afterwards to mans the damages his attorney pro-
posed to take a verdict for 1,0001., which Mr. Lugard's agents
consented to. The judgment for that sum has been duly
registered and is in operation against any property that may
fall to Mr. Kelson in England. lie keeps out of the way. The
Rev. Mr. Lugard remains still in India, and these proceed-
ings, as well as the action against Mr. Kelson, have been
conducted by his attorneys and agents.
COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
Before Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque.
Taixo, READTAO, AND RA6IEO9EOEII RAILWAY.—A
dividend meeting was appointed in this case to-day.—Mr.
Cooke appeared to support a proof for 4,6061. by Messrs. Hill
andEverill, late solicitors to the company.—birlAwrance, for
the assignees, opposed the proof, on the ground that Messrs.
Hill and Everitt, having held shares in the company, had
thereby constituted themselves partners.—Mr. Cooke con-
tended that, the shares having been allotted to the solicitors
gratuitously, as a reward for their exertions, they could not
be looked on as partners.—The Commissioner observed that,
if these parties were held partners, they might be entitled to
share in the routs after the creditors had been paid
20s. in the pound.—Mr. Lawrence said they would
not he so entitled, not having paid the calla.
The Commissioner was clearly of opinion that the solicitors
could not stand in competition with the ordinary creditors
having constituted themselves partru nby accepting the
allotment of shares. Should Mr. Commissioner Shepherd's
decision in Green's case, now under appeal, be termed,
this case might be re-argued, at present he must reject
the proof. When the final dividend had passed, • question
might arise whether these parties were not entitled to dare
in the surplus assets • but as creditors their claim could
not now be entertailed.—A dividend of 20, in the pound
was then declared—a sufficient surplus being reserved for
Messrs. Hill and Everill's dividend, in case their claim
should be afterwards substantiated.

A SSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
HOME CIRCLIT.—HINOSTON, Malicia 30.
Caciwv Boas—Before Mr. Justice
THBSTABBINo Caen siIauGUILVORD.—CI=II ELLIS'S.
—Reginald. Bristow, 24, and Arthur Brietato, 27, brothers,
were indicted for feloniously cutting and wounding G. Target,
a gamekeeper, with intent to muriler him, the former being
charged as principal and the other as an accessory, in being
feloniously present, aiding and assisting in the commission of
the felony. There were tour other counts in the indictment,
charging the intention of the pris ines to be to do grievous
bodily harm, and the two but charging them with resisting
their lawful apprehension and detention.—Mr. Wallinger
having briefly stated the case for the prosecution, the fol-
lowing evidence was adduced.
George Target deposed that he was gamekeeper to Mr.
Frogley, who lived at East Horsley, and who hail the right
of shooting over a good deal of land in the neighbourhood.
On the night of the 11th September, upon going hie rounds
he found three deed hares snared in a coppice called Henley-
coppice. In consequence of this discovery he and an under.
keeper named Martin, " laid up " during the night, to see
if any one came to take the hares away. Abort one o'clock
in the morning, the two prisoners came into the coppice and
went towards the spot where the snares were, but they
suddenly stopped and appeared to whisper, and then ran
off. lie and his companion pursued them into a turnip-
field, and when they had nearly got up to them,
the prisoners faced them. Both had large knives in their
hands such as are used for killing pigs. After a short scuffle
Regitiald Bristow stabbed him in the side. He kept his bold
of the prisoner and they both fell down, and the prisoner
then stabbed him again in the wrist. He was then upon his
knees, and the blood was running from him like a " stuck
pig," and finding he was too weak to continue the contest
he called out, " I am done—l give it up." Before this he
had called out " murder," and when he did so, Re-
ginald Bristow told hint if he was not quiet he
would stick the knife into him again. During the
struggle he could see that Martin was also "tussling"
with Arthur Bristow ; but after the last stab he
fell to the ground quite insensible, and had no consciousness
of anything until the cart was brought to fetch him ewer.—
Cross-examined: Mr. Frogley had the right of shooting in the
turnip-field, but tit, land ascii was the property oft gentle-
man named Currie. Had been a witness against persons far
poaching, and when they were convicted he got half the
penalty, and his masts also gave him half s sovereien to pay
expenses. if a man was taken for night poaching be got a
sovereign, and for day poaching he only got half that
amount, and if two men were taken there was double pay.—
By Mr. Locke for the pt.:sorter, Arthur Bristow The pe-
nalty for day poaching was forty shillings, sad when the fins
was paid to had half the penalty. The most money he ever
got for taking a man for poaching in the day time was nearly
a pound. This was in addition to the ten shillings his mu-
ter gave him.
James Martin, the vs:stout to the lest witness, confirmed
his testimony. It appeared that he attempted to apprehend
the prisoner Arthur. and in so doing also received injury,
He heard Targat call out murder, and as soon as be was able
he went to him and found him lying upon the ground in-
sensible and covered with blood and apparently dead.—
Cross examined : He was not aware that there was auy regular
allowance of money foe taking these men, but he knew that
his master gave half a sovereign when a poacher was appre-
hended, and for a night poacher 21. were given besides, and
11. for a day poacher.
Hollington, the inspector of the Guildford police, proved
that he apprehended the prisoners at Woolwich on the
11th October, sad on searching Reginald he found in he
pocket a number of wire snares, a copper cap, and some
ennpow,ler. lie had likewise six shillings, and a sermon.
Upon the prisoner Arthur's person he found a small amours'
of copper money and some pheasant snares. Both prison.
asked him to " do away with the wires," and on his teller
them that they were charged with stabbing two ear'
keepers, Arthur replied ' Very well," and made no aril,
remark.—Cross•esamined The morning after the aff:
hgrned, handbills were posted up, offering a reward,.
1 . for the detection of the offenders ; 601. were to be pa
by Mr. Currie, and 501. by Mr. Frogley.
Mr. Frogley deposed that he was a surgeon at Hounalot,.
and also had a residence at East Horsley, tear GuildforsT.
The prosecutor and Martin were employed by him es game-
keepers. He preserved the game strictly on Henley Coppice.
On the morning in question he received information of what
bad occurred very shortly afterwards, and at once proceeded
to the turnip.field, where he found Target supported by
some labourers, and at first be thought he was dead. The
witness then described the injuries he had rewired, and said
that the stab upon his left side must have occasioned imme-
diate death, if it had not been stopped by one of the ribs,
and he added that he probed the wound to the length of his
finger, and the instrument which inflicted it appeared to
have pared into the cavity of the chest. Immediately
after the occurrence he obtained a search warrant, and pro-
ceeded to a house at Shire, which was pointed oat to him as
the primness residence, and he there found a number of
snares, which were put in an artificially constructed place of
concealment that was accidentally discovered, and also four
largo knives such as are used for killing pigs.
The prosecutor was recalled, and he said that the knives
so found were similar to those he saw in the posossion of
the prisoners on the morning the attack aria }SU es flsss
but he could not speak positively to their Wise She=i.

utells
and J. Price were charged with having in January l,
administered poison to W. Howells, huiloand of the former
prisoner. The prisoners pleaded not guilty. The facts as
stated for the prosecution were these
The deceased, a farmer in the parish of Llanellen, died
on the 10th of Nov. last, but at that period no suspicion was
entertained that he met his death otherwise than from na-
tural causes. Subsequently to his burial his wife and man-
arrant conducted themselves in • manner which excited
stupidest, and various persons living in the localit kt.ow-
kg that the deceased died withont being attendeby any
amikal person, were not slow in charging the wi faund her
wale servant with having murdered the deceased. These
came at leonth to the knowledge of Mr. Coroner
tre, and assumed such a shape that that gentleman
usaidered it necessary to hold an inquest. Accordingly,
fkillumfilantre grave was re-opened for the purpose of making
spool seirlims examination of the remains, and on the ith
asi 14th at January a jury met the coroner at the Han.
bury Arms. Llanellen, and after several subsequent ad
journals% a verdict of Wilful Murder was returned
asla prisoners. The evidence at the inquest led to
that the poison had been administered in some
setmierlisP.
chief witn
e ess in the pre', at trial was • maid servant
of the Howells' named Jane Morgan, who stated that her
mares managed the sheep about the farm. She looked
after the milking swig, as sometimes did Price, and at othens
the boy. Her master had been employed about the caner
during the afternoon carrying lime and earth. The dairy
jMns the kitchen. Witness put the apples in the page in
the dairy, and brought the dumplings into the kitchen, and
then put them into the pot. When her mistress asked her
what she had said to the coroner, she replied, " You will hear
of that again." Witness left her place swing to the poison
having been found in the body. Pricehad his nualsgenerally
with the family. Had the same things to eat, and went to
bed the same time, and her master was kind to him and to
henrelf. They were tolerably comfortable there. There was
enonals work to do there, but not too much. Had heard that two
sheep had died, but did not know what was the cause. Bad
seen sheep sometimes with brown paper en their backs.
They were not kept far from the house in some fields. Her
master had two cupboards in the kitchen, but be did not
keep them to himself. They were on each side of the fire-
Cups,place bottles, and different things were kept in
them. . She saw her master's body after he was dead, and had
observed on one hip a dark purple spot. That was what she
had spoken to Price about. Blaenavon contains a good
many people, but his not a very large place. She went there
to her sister on the day of the death. She went once to the
well, which is about a quarter of a mile from the house.
When upon a former occasion her master came home from
the wells, be said he was almost cured, and he continued
better until just before his death. lie said he would go there
again the following year. After her master was buned, the
bed wan taken from her mistress's room into Price's room.
Only the two beds were there. Had known Price and her
mistress stay away from home together a whole night several
times at the fairs before her master's death.—By the Judge:
There were only two bedrooms in the house.
Edward Evans Is a druggist, living at Abergavenny.
Knows the prisoner Mary Howells from five to six years as
a customer at his tether's. He recollected selling something
to her in the autumn, about a month or six weeks after his
return from Newport in September last. It was • penny-
worth of arsenic, which was half an ounce. Remembers
selling it perfectly. She was aline.—Cron-examined by
Mr. Cooke for prisoners Is frequently applied to for
acids and poisoning for the mange on sheep. Arsenic was a
common thing sold for mange. It was within the time he
oncementoned that he ids sold the arsenic. He had been
to Usk reuions to ntify a person who was robbed.
The prisoner was acquitted. His name was Weldon. Did
not then say that he had seen the man robbed. The witness
was here examined as to the evidence he had given on that
occasion, and at the preliminary investigation before the
magistrates, but his answers were exceedingly vague,
• evidencing an entire misconception of the questions which
were put. The market day at Abergavenny is Tuesday. He
was in the habit of serving Mrs. Howells often—perhaps
twice • month. The first Friday the coroner sat he men-
tioned the subject to Patrick Cusack. He was an hour at the
George, but his memory was not refreshed there. He after. I
wards saw Mrs. Howells, and he there recollected having
served her. He did not know her by name until that
Friday. He had heard that Howells had died on the 10th.
His father sells • good deal of arsenic in pennyworths.—
Rasexamined by Mr. Greases: It was abort • month or
six weeks alter his return from Newport that he sold the

areenie.
Thomas Hughes—ls the coroner before whom the inquest
on Howells was held. The litt:e girt Jane Morgan was
examined by him through the interpreter. Edward Evans
was also examined by him. After Lass, the prisoner made a
statement of her owe accord through the sworn interpreter.
Witness took it down. Prisoner did not make her mark.
His clerk wrote down the evidence. Witness read it, and it
was taken down close at his side. He dictated to his clerk
from the interpreter. It was explained by him to her in
Webb, and then the witness affixed his name. He told her
previously that it eke made any statement it would be taken
down in writing and used against her.
Mr. Thomas James recollected Evans being examined be-
fore the coroner. He (the witness) interpreted the prisoner's
statement, and told her exactly what the coroner had said.
He sew the dark write the statement, and heard therisoner
my that it was exactly what she had said.
Mr. Cooke here took a technical objection.
After another witness, whrus testimony was unimportant,
had been examiasd, Mr. Cooke made a powerful address to
the jury on behalf of the prisoners, as also did Mr. Hurl.
dukes.
The learned Judge summed up the ease to th.. jury, who
after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of Not Guilty.

nude he wanted it particularly he
MO tars it. The prisoer tn said he would take it en his
ova saimandlility, and left the office with the book.—
Seha Irsoebefin, the publisher of the Wesley/2n Newspaper,
said that • Saturday week he met Healy at the Crows sta-
tion in Seellirdshire, and he volunteered a statement to wit-
ness that belted been to the office and taken the ouh-book.
Oa arriving ia Loudon the following Tuesday, and finding
that the book was really gone, he o3mmunicated the fact to
Mr. Hiley, who is one at the directors of the association.
On Saturday last he met the prisoner in Fleetestreet, and
reseeded him about the book, when he pro-
mised to return it on the following Mondhay, but
be
had not done so, in co- sequence which
was given into custody by Mr. Hiley.—On ETONE-
examination, witness mid that he was not aware Mr. Healy
was then a proprietor, although he had beard that at one
time he was. He certainly bad seen his name in the original
list of shareholders when copying the deed at Serjeants'-inn.
The prisoner's name had often been mentioned as the late
manager, and as having been a shareholder. Ile also had
beard the name of Brutnal as the original proprietor, but
was not aware whether he held any shares in the company.
Uuderstood that ha had held 1,600 shares at 265. per share.
Did not know if his money was in the concern. Brunel
at present was a bankrupt, and Mr. Healy might be his
solicitor for what he knew. The deed produced shows Mr.
Healy's name as one of the trustees bolding 200 shares.—
The solicitor for Mr. Healy contended that the charge
could not be sustained against his client. The fact was,
Mr. Brutus' lately b-canie a bankrupt, and Mr. Healy was
appointed soignee, and finding that he could not go on
without the cash-book he at once went and took it, consi-
dering he had a right so to do, being one of the proprietors.
There was no pretence for the charge of stealing.—Alder-
man Challis observed that the charge of stealing could not
stand • still Mr. Healy, although appointed assignee, had
no risotto obtain possession of the book in the manner he
had done. He was therefore discharged. Had Mr. Healy
brought his case forward under a clause in the Police Act,
then he (Alderman Challis) would have been able to order
that the hook should be given up. The charge left not the

CLERKENWELL.—OBLIOATION TO AUDIT THE Po-
LICE IN " Tits QUEEN'A Na.ate."—G. Slade, a bricklayer.
was pieced at the bar charged witk loving violently as-
saulted police constables Sergeant Cotter, 15, and Lapaford,
304 N, in the execution of their duty. On Wednsaday
evening last, about 7 o'clock, the prisoner when drunk en-
tered a chapel in the Lower re ad, Islington, whilst the ser-
vice was being performed, and conducted himself in an un-
becoming manner. The police-constables were called upon to
interfere, when the prisoner fought at them with a trowel,
and attempted to stab teem with it. He resisted in a der
perate manner, and fought, kicked at, and beat them. An
immense. crowd assembled and pelted the officers, who were
severely injured. On their way to the station-house Ser-
geant Cotter called upon Mr. Stillman, prover, of 21, in
the Lower-road, in the Queen's name, to aid and
assist him, which he refused to do, and, after
considerable d'fficulty, and at the risk of their
lives, they secured the prisoner in the station house. Mr.
Combo ordered a summons to be issued to compel Mr. Bull-
man's attendance, and shortly afterwards he made his ap-
peanince.—Mr. Combs told Mr. Bolivian that his conduct
was very censurable. In times like the present it was the
duty of every respectable person to aid and assist the polies
under such circumstances, when called upon. The most
violent and systematic attacks had daily been made on the
police in this particular neighbourhood, which rendered it
necessary for them to be protected in the performance of
their duty, and something must be done for that purpose
The law of the case had been very recently laid down and
inhibited by Lord Denman and Baron Alderson. and he
(11r. Combo) would consider whether he should not com-
municate with the commissioners of police to indict him
(Mr. Bullman).—tdr. Stillman : I went out to protect my
. I have valuable plate glass in my shop front.
=Aden of the officers was disgraceful towards
lie paisener.—Mr. Combs* peremptorily ordered an inspector
Issust to report the case to his superintendent and the cow,
mivaitmers, in order that they might indict Mr. Sunman.—
Me. Hallman Then am Ito understand you that lam to
abradon my property to assist the police ?—Mr. Combs: It
was your duty to assist them when called upon to do so.
You would snow two officers to be murdered by a violent
mob for the sake of a few panes of plate glass in your &hop
front ?—After explaining the law, the magistrate ordered
Mr. Buliman to put in his own recognisance to appear at
this court on Tuesday next. In the meantime the Commis-
sioners of Police will be consulted.—The prisoner Slade was
committed for one month to the House of Correction for the
assault on Sergeant Cotter, and one month for assaulting
Lansford, 304 N, without the alternative of releasing him-
self pey Jag sly fines.
MARYLEBONE.—Tag CHARGE OF NIVREER •OAINEIT
♦ Latish CARRIER.—W. Rigden, a letter-carrier, was re-
examined on the charge of having been concerned in the
murder of a male infant, upon whose body an inquest had
been held and a verdict of Wilful murder against some person
or persons unknown" returned. ,The particulars of what pre-
viously transpired have already appeared, and it will be re-
membered that the prisoner was distinctly sworn to as being
the person who, on the 24th of January last, was seen to
coma from a field between Kilburn and the Harrow-road,
and in which spot, just below the surfaeb of the earth, under
a hedge, was discovered a small wooden box, containing the
murdered infant alluded to. Mr. Wontner attended, as
upon the second inquiry, for the prisoner, and additional
witnesses having been brought forward, with the view of
establishing an alibi, and whose testimony was of such a fa-
vourable nature as to lead toe reasonable suppesition that
the case was one of mistaken identity, he almoner) was
discharged.

RAILWAY NEWS.
Our share market wore still a depressed appear-
ance yesterday, and shares were generally offered
with some reductioa of price. The state of the ac-
count—which was in coarse of settlement and is un-
derstood to be against those who, having speculated
for the rise, had overbought themselves—may in
some degree have led to this heaviness of the market.
