to pass the night. The next morning the deceased
wae found in a shed else, to the lime-kiln very much beaten
and bruised and covered with blood, and it appeared that
the injuries she received were of such a character as to cause
her death very shortly afterwards. Hothalami, the inepector
of polio@ at Guildford, immediately instituted the necessary
inquiries, and he ascertained that the prisoner and three
other men, named Bignell, Wood, and Stevens, had passed
thenightja question near the limo-kiln along with the de-
emed, and he caused them all to be taken into custody.
At first they denied havieg seen any violence made use of
towards the deceased, but ultimately they expressed admire
to tell the truth, and they then stated that the prisoaer had
knocked his mother down by a violent blow with his
fist, and that he then dragged her several times round
the kiln, and afterwards lifted her up two or three times
and thrtw her with great force upon the ground, and that
she wasinsensible from that time until daybreak, when they
carried her out and placed her in the shed, where she was
found in the state above described. When the prisoner was
first apprehended, and told the charge that was made sgainst
him, he denied having struck his mother, and declared that
' she had received the injury by falling down a chalk pit ;
but while he was in custody he was heard to call out to the
other men, who were in a separate cell, and ask them not
to say anything about what they saw at the lime kiln, and
promised them half-a-crown if they did what he desired.
The prisoner subsequently expressed great contrition for
what he had done, and said that now his mother was dead
he would destroy himself the first opportunity that pre-
sented itself.—Mr. Robinson addressed the jury at consi-
derable length for the prisoner, sad urged that the act had
been committed in a moment of excitement, and that the
offence did not amount at all events to the crime of murder.
—The learned judge having summed up, the jury, alter a
very short deliberation, found the prisoner guilty of Mon
slaughter. Sentence deferred.
CIVIL Sm.—Before the lord Chief Baron.
Ricstaitna v. 14)151) S I'FF I NUL—Upon this case being
called on, Mr. Lush, who appeared for the defendant, said
he was afraid his witnesses had not yet arrived, and he ap-
plied to the court to let it stand over for a short time.—Mr.
Chambers raid it was the next case in order, and he was
ready, on the part of the plaintiff, to go on with it, He
was willing, however, that the case should be referred.—
Mr. Lash said he could not consent to a reference —The
Chief Baron said that the case must proceed.—Mr. Cham-
bers then called for his witnesses, hut none of them answered
He said he had no doubt they would he there very shortly.
—Mr. Lush said he was quitaready now, and he should in-
sist upon the case being proceeded with. (A laugh.)—The
Chief Baron : Well, Mr. Chambers, you know the old pro-
verb, what is sauce for one is sauce for the other.—Mr.
Chambers Yes, my lord ; lam afraid I have no alternative
bath:, withdraw the record.—The record was accordingly
withdrawn.

WESTERN CIRLIJIT.—Dsvizto4 Auo. 12. L
The commission for the trial of prisoners was opened yes ,134
terday. Mr. Justice Williams and Mr. Justice Coleridge a
proceeded at once to the court-house, where the regular bu-
sinrs3 was transacted. The calendar contains shout 60 pri-
soners, 6of whom are charged with manslaughter. Trip
morning, atter the grand jury had been sworn, Mr. Ju•tice
Coleridge d,slivi red his charge in the Crown court, and pro.
ceeded to try prisoners. None of the caws were worth re-
porting.

POLICE.—SATURDAY.
MANSION-HOUSE.—A LUNATIC AND HIS REEFED.
—'F. NnsitA was charged with having represented himself to
be the keeper of a lunatic asylum. A. Mr. Booth stated that
he saw a friend, who had a situation in the Customhouse, at
the door of a public-house, and stopped to speak to him.
They had scarcely int. rchanged civilities', when the defend
ant started forward, and. seizlng the Custom-house officer,
said to the wit.SCPS, "I am his keeper." Witness asked why
he was in custody ? " Because," replied the defendant, "
is a lunatic.' Mr. Booth thought that the decedent looked
more like a coalliesver than a mad-house keeper, and sus
peeing that the defendant was endeavouring to make a vic-
tim, considered it necessary to ask for proof of his alleged
occupation, and no satisfactory answer having been given,
the interference of the police was required.—'The defendant
now said he was the keeper of the gentleman.—The Lord
Mayor: Upon what authority 7—The defendant Upon his
own. lie engaged me regularly to take care of him. Ile is
present, and can tell you that he engaged me to look after
him —Here the patient said " It is true, I did engage him,
and I shah pay him fir the job."— -Defendant said he was an
engineer, and was going to his work, when the beet speaker
stopped him, and said he'd pay uefendant to look well after
him. "I am often employed by men to watch them, and
prevent them from doing what they like; and I can tell
his Lloorrie,l lordship pdot t&I mawpsast

u're right,
f th.Vil7saTend'atl
say, old fellow, do you take proper care of me, and you shan't
want for nothing.—The Lord Mayor : I shall take care of
you until you are able to take care of yourself; and I'll take
care of your keeper, too, until I hear a little more about his
qualifications—The patient and his keeper were then dos
posited in different cells for two or three hours, when a fa-
vourable account having arrived of the character of each, they
were discharged.
BOW.STREET.—Dtset:run 1110117.—L. Foster WY
charged with having, in coons lion with others, created a
riot, in taking possession of certain premises, situated fa
Milford-lane, Strand. The house in cremation was let to a
person named Round, who gave the key to a carpenter for
the purpose of basing some repairs executed ; and on Sun-
day afternoon, 30th July, the prisoner, assisted by several
others, having effected a forcible entry, proceeded to demolish
the windows by tearirg out the frames. They then sawed
the rafters, and continued the work of destruction until they
had literally gutted the premises. On the Tuesday follow.
ing, a man in the employment of the prisoner appeared again
upon the premises with a sledge.hamine r, and when in the
act of destroying everything within bia reach, he was taken
into custody, sod ordered to find bail, upon which a warrant
was granted for the apprehension of the defendant.—The de-
fence brought forward was to this effect : That the prisoner
had been in possession of the premises for the last twelve
months in order to erect a printing machine for the land-
lords, respecting which some misunderstanding having arisen,
law proceedings were commenced.—Mr. Jardine said he had
nothing to do with the question of right, and u a riot had
been ce mmitted by the prisoner and other persons employed
by him, and it had been satisfactorily proved, be must find
bail himself in '2001., and two sureties of 1001. each, to answer
the charge on a future d:.y.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—ROBBERY or PLATE.—
J. Reeky, a butler in the service of Count D'Avietdor, diplo
maticagent to the King of Santini*, was charged with being
drunk and using insulting language to his master. He was
also charged, on suspicion, with being concerned in a recent
robbery of plate and jewellery, valued at between 2,0001. and
3,0001., the property of the count.—On the 19th July Count
D'Aviador deposited in an iron box a quantity of plate and
jewellery worth upwards of 2,0001. On the same afternoon
the count had occasion to go to the box in question, when he
discovered that it had been broken open, and the plate and
jewellery stolen. Tr.e prisoner was immediately cusp cted,
said a watch was placed en his movements. A man named
C. Orellier was employed by the count to trace out the thief.
From information he received he \Vint to the Great Western
tavern, Oxford-sereet, and found the prisoner standing at
the bar with several thieves. Witness watched them, and
heard the prisoner call for a pot of al,. Witness
also heard him say to his companions, "It's all right; I've
just given the police the slip, and I'll now have a drink
out of the produce of the robbery." A woman came up to
the prisoner, and said something to him. He told her
to " cut," and as soon as she got clear he would follow. The
woman left the house, and the prisoner went after hershortly
afterwards. Witness followed, but the prisoner finning he
was watched, ran down a court, and witness lost sight of
him. Witness afterwards found the prisoner at hie master's
house in custody. The Count d'Avigelor told him that on
the previous night, about 7 o'clock, he required the attendance
of the prisoner, hut he could nowhere be round. On going
into his be-.room the prisoner was toned !ling on the bed in
a state of intoxication. Witness see ke him un, when the
prisoner applied several insulting epithets to him, and made
use of such equivocal eapreseions that he immediately sus-
pected the prisoner had been concerned in rubbing him of
the plate and jewellery, and he gave him into custody. The
prisoner denied the charge of rubbery. Since the rohliety
had happened he had led • very miserable life, from the
knowledge that he was watched by the police. It was to
drown reflection that he hod taken too much liquor on Fri-
day.—Mr. Hardwick said the evidence in support of the
charge of robbery was not sufficiently strong to warrant him
in detaining the prisoner in custody. The tact of drunken-
ness h.vine been established, he should inflict a fine of ss.
SOUTHWARK.—Fieneee.—Mr. Kingston was charged
with an assault on Mr. Ba) field.—The complaieant said that
he was sitting in the coffees-room of the Equestrian Tavern,
next the Surrey theatre, on the evening of Wednesday
last, and while looking over • newspaper, the defendant
came in and called his. a swindler and liar. He also seized
the paper from him, and tore it to piece's, then pulled
him over the table, and in a violent manner seized hold of
his nose.—Mr. North was tolled, ann said !he parties were
" chaffing," and that all would have pa.sed over had not
Mr. Kingston pulled Mr. Hay field's nue. The latter
gentleman, however, called the other tho "Surrey Peppy."
—Deleudant said he was much provoked, and would not
have been guilty of such an attack bad he not been insults d.
The magistrate suggested to the complainant that as he pave
the first offence, the better way would be to settle the matter
quietly.—After a little hesitation, the parties retired for a
few minutes, and on Mr. Kingston making an apology, the
complainant withdrew the charge.
ASSAULT AND ATTEMPTED ROBBERY.—P. Wafts and
Sarah, his wife, were charged with committing an saseult
on Mary Nicholson, and attempting to plunder her of a
purse of money and her shawl.—Complainant said that on
Wednesday morning last she was proceeding along the Black-
friars road towards home with her husband, who was a
cripple. When near Cross-street, the female prisoner came
up and snatched her shawl away, and attempted to wrest her
purse from her hand. Her husband came to her am stance,
but as soon as he came up the male prianer wrenched his
crutch from him and struck witness a number of blows on
the head and boely with it. She was so brutally beaten, that
she coon became insensible. Her husband corroborated the
who!e of her testimony.—Mr. Purvis deposed to the' treat-
ment received by the complainant from the prhonen.—The
prisoners said that they were first assaulted, land acted in
self defence ; but they had no witnesses to calls—They were
remanded.

hensions which appear to prevail. There is some-
thing to blame in railway management, and in the
getting up of railway accounts doubtless, but also no
small: exaggeration of whatever appears to be un-
favourable in public rumour.

Huntingdon; the wone on which portion being of a light character,
and en favourable material, were nerved for next winter', work. The
heaviest *wk. in propene were the earthworks between London and
the village of Putters liar, and those eetween Huntingdon and the
Fero; and here were also other. of cnnoiderable magnitude, but In
better material, between Hatfield and IlitcLin. There were also
a very conettlentble amount of brickwork and masonry in
viaducts and beidgi a in course of execution, the principal
work being the viaduct at Digswell. AU three operetinne
were proceeding under arrativemente which warranted the
expectation of their comply" ion by the spring of IS3a. On Messrs.
Pete and BM: contract, the work,. of the line from the south June.
titan of the Loop, near Peterborough, up to Sexelby, nix miles beyond
Lincoln, were rapidly drawing to a close. The eornteetiou of thin
