Mr. Bacon. Q. 0., and Mr. Charles Hall appeared in this
matter in support of a summons adjourned free chambers,
under the following circumstances :
The Rev. Thomas Newbery, a beneficed clergymen of the
established church of E Lad,
to
be will appointed his
widow and the Rev. Henry to be the gaardians of
his infant children, a boy now about 15 years of age and a
girl now about 11 years of age. The father died in 1861, and
the widow, who had the custody of the children, some short
time since joined the sect of dissenters called the Plymouth
Brethren. Difference of opinion then arose between the
guardians as to the mode and the religious opinions in
which the °klikken should be brought up; ead a summon
to
was finally taken out in chambers for a proper allowance
be directed for their maintenance and education. Upon
the question es to the right to the custody of the infanta
and their religious education being raised, the summons was
adjourned into court. It appeared that the infant Frederic
Hoyle Newbery (the boy) bad made an Watley% in which
be stated that he had attended meetings of the Plymouth
Brethren, and approved of their opinions. Evidence wag
also adduced to show that the father bad at one period of
hie life been a dissenter, and that be was, even at his death,
friendly and inclined to opinions of dissent from
th e esteblined church f gland.
Mr. Malin; Q.C. and Mr. Graham Hastings appeared for
the mother end infant children ; and after referring to the
slight distinction which, as they contended, existed between
the substantial teaching of the church of England and the
doctrines of the Plymouth Brethren, and to the al=
partiality of the testator to the views of diameters,
' strongly on the pain that would be caused to the mother
and the children if they were to be nonrated from bor.
The Vioe-Cbanoellor said that this was a ease which come
before the court in consequence of the differences of opiniou
of
that had arisen between the two testamentary guardians
the infants. The infants were of the respective ages of
fifteen years and eleven years, or thereabouts—the eldest
being • boy and the youngest a girl. Their fachucther,k theof
testator in the matter, was • clargyniaa of the
Masked ; and by his will he had appointed his widow sad
• Ms. Caddell the guardians of his two children. la cases
of this tied, which were always of • most delicate
character, when they involved questions depending oe the
religious faith of the parties, the first point which the
court most regard wee the enure of the views entertained
by the father of the children. Here the father, and the
mother also, were members of the church of England. The
mother remained • member of that church at her husband's
death. Unfortunately, if his honour might use that ex-
pansion in the course of the last three or four years, a
change 'had come over the feelings of the
she had
mother with
respect to her religious opinions, and
for some time past belonged to a sect called
the Plymouth Brethren. The opinions of those ma-
nes did not ooinoide with the religion of the father
re
'of the inf eats ; and so far ea his views were ceocenred,the
was nothing in the evidence to show that he ever conical-
plated the possibility of hie children being educated in any
views other than hie own in religious matters. That in
itself would in his Honour's opinion be conclusive
in this ease. But several authorities had been
cited I. the arguments. One in particular was men-
tioned, where the father of the children was an
unitarian. Some friend or relation of the family bad,
after his death, advanced a considerable amount of mosey
for the education of the infant children--stipulating that
they should be brought up_as baptists. In that case, Lord
Eldon said the court would not interfere—both claimants
to the rare sad custody of the infants being dissenters—
unless there was somethiog dangerous in the tenets of
either. A great deal of Areas had been laid in the
arguments of the present cage by the counsel
for the mother and the infanta, upon the thought
of a separation being ordered by the court of
the children from their mother. But no such idea was for
a moment entertained by the court. The sole question be-
fore it was—in what religious prfaciples were then two
chadors to be brought up? in his Honour's opinion the
nun really had no noire to make in the matter—for the
children must be educated in those views which were
held by their father. There wad mother case referred
to in the arguments, in which the Lords Justices, having
uoertained the effect that certain opinions had had upon
the mind of • child—a Roman Whale—refused, upon the
whole case, to disturb what bad bees don in it. But his
Honour was quite at a loss to conceive how the authorities
which had been cited applied to the pre sent case. Here
the mother of the infante had, dace their father's death,
dissented from the church of England. Them was about
15 years of age, and he Ind ben associ for some
months past with persons who composed the sect of the
Plymouth Brethren. There was Gee thing his Honour very
much regretted, and that was that the boy should have been
brought—as he lead been brought—here, with the object of
hie stades what his own views of religion were, an that
ho should have been allowed, as he was, to come into court
during the arguments, and bear the discussion as to his
being separated from his mother. His Honour bad
not been aware of the fact, or be would not
have permitted it. With regard to the separation, he
repeated, no such thing was contemplated by the court,
The
nor
would the court countenance anything of the sort.
°occlusion to which be had come was that this young
geotleman and his sister must be educated in the tenets
of the church of England. There was 060 other obser-
vation his Honour wished to make with respect to • line
of argument that had been adopted in the case—end
he made the observation out of regard to the
memory of the testator. it was said that he
was, although • clergyman of the established church, an
unsound member of that church. Nothing was further
front the tenth, or more grievously unjust to his character.
The evidence showed him to have been a kind and amiable
man, and, as such, he bore, as iro many other good men had
borne, no but • friendly feeling towards all classes
of dissenters. He had named the guardians for his chil-
dren not long before his death, end both of them were
then members of his own church—the established church
of England ; and there was note shadow of ground for sup-
posing. from his general friendliness to slickness of dimes-
tees, that he therefore himself entertained any such views.
There was a case in 1836, before Lord Langdale, at the
Rolls, which very much resembled the present, and
in acordance with the decision then pronounced his
Honour would now make the following order:—
Declare that the infanta ought to be brought up
in the communion, doctrines, and worship of the
churn of England as by law established ; and that the
said infante ought to attend the public worship of the said
church, and that they ought not to be taken to attend the
chapels or meeting houses of the Plymouth brethren ; and
let the mother be restrained from taking the said arisen.,
or either of them, or causing or pinning (or permitting)
the said infanta, or either of them, to be taken to the said
chapels or meeting houses, or to any plane or piece of wor-
ship where worship is performed otherwise than according
to the rites and ceremonies of the church of England ea
by law established.

lurY•
Hr. Justice Blackburn overruled the point. The reward
was offered for the apprehension of the thieved, not the
receivers.
Hr. 1). Seymour thou addressed the jury for the deficit-
dash, observing that it was for them to say whether the
plaintiff came within the terms of the reward. The de.
fondant had paid into court the proportion of the reward
a the amount of the articles recovered, and it should be
remembered that Roberts did sot know the burglars. He
should be able to show that the police acted from other
information.
Inspector Potter deposed that in November, 1864, be
received information of several robberies, and amongst
others one at Abraham's, in the Strand. He captured
Brown for that robbery, and, whilst watching the persons
who visited him when in custody, be heard in January of
the proposed robbery at Mr. Walker's, in Oornhill ; he
traced a dozen poems first to the Waterloo-road and then
to the eel-pie-home. He afterwards got their addresses,
and ultimately apprehended them on the 24th February.
They commenced watching on the tith of February, and the
delay arose in consequence of their not kirowing Oaseley's
address. He followed the men and the women from house
' to house. They we not apprehended from information
given by the plaintiff.
Crose-exammed—He beard in January that a number of
' burglaries were contemplated, and he bad no donlit persons
were motioned. He did not hear Mr. Walker's name

Inspector Brennan, George Ranger, and others, gave
similar testimony.
Mr. Walker, jun raid the cost prim of the watches was
331. and 201. Ther ~
e was 6,0001. worth of property lost,
sod the properties of the reward would be 7/., but his
father had paid 111. into court.
The jury ultimately returned a verdict for the
apptiff
for 2501. for the apprehension of the burglars, sod per
Senate award of the 7501. for the property that was dis-
covered when the men were apprehesded.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

ROME CIROUIT.—MAIDerOtt Duo. 19.
(Before Mr. Justice Mellor.)
•
William Richardson, 18, a labourer, was charged with
felonious assault upon Hennah Preeoott.
Mr. Barrow conducted the prcesoation ; and the prisoner
was defended by Mr. Bahian.
The offence that was imputed to the primner was one of
• most aggravated character. The prosecutriz was a re-
spectable married woman, the wife of • miller living at
Bexley, and it appeared tbat on the evening of the 25th of
July she was as kw way bane from Birch Wood, and
had to pars through a wood called Standhall Wood. Just
as she bed got though this wood she saw the prisoner sitting
on • stile, and he accosted bar, and said, " You know what
I waist." She was carrying a bundle, and the preeecutrlx
at first thought that he meant to steal this bundle, parti-
cularly as he had hold of it, and attempted to pull
the bundle from her. She straggled and tried
to get away, but the prisoner seised her with great
violence and tore bar clothes, and she begged him to desist.
stating that she was • married woman and that she knew
him. The prisoner then seemed to have thrown her down,
and committed the act imputed to him notwithstanding her
resistance and entreaties to him to leave her alone, and
ifas
be was leaving her be appeared to have threatened that
she told anybody what bad happened he would do the same
thing to her again, wherever he might meet with:
omTahne
prosecutrix want immediately ,to the cottage
named TiUier close by, and detailed the particulars of the
outrage that had been committed upon her, and she also
went to the police station at Sidcup, and gave a description
of the prisoner. He was not, however, token into custody
until the 10th of July following, and ohs immediately idea-
tided him as the man who bad moulted her. The presets-
trix gave her evidence is the most becoming mangier, a
thend
the manner in which her statement was corroborated by
other testimony in the came, left no doubt whatever as to
the truth of the story she had told.
Mr. Ribton merely crossegamined the promentrix with
• view to show that she might possibly be mistaken in
speaking to the identity of the prinOner, bat he could not
succeed in creating any doubt upon this point, and she
persisted in Resorting positively that the prisonm was the
man who assaulted her.
The jury without any hesitation returned a verdict of
Guilty.
Mr. Barrow said that there was another indictment
against the prisoner charging him with • similar offence.
Mr. Justice Mellor said that perhaps it w
that the facts should be proved.
The prisoner was accordingly charged upon another
indictment with having committed a felonious assault upon
Mary Elizabeth Crowbar.
The preesoutrix in ibis case wasa respectable girl, thirteen
years of age, and it appeared that on the 9th of August she
was walking through the same wood where the previous
offence bad been committed, when ebe met the prisoner,
who entered into conversation with her. He first asked her
to tell him the road to Bexley, and then began to talk in-
decently, and suddenly seised her and threw her down and
committed the offence, in spite of the cries and struggles of
the prosecutrix.
The tarp again returned a verdict of Guilty.
Mr. J =tine Mellor, in passing sentence 11p011 the prisoner,
said that he had been convicta of two of the most &booth-
able and disgusting outrages upon a respectable married
woman and • girl of thirteen yews of age that he had ever
beard of. If it had not been for his youth be should have
passed • much more severe sentence upon him then the one
he was about to pronounce, but, taking that fact into con-
eideration, be should order him to be kept iu penal servitude
for ten years.
George Perkins,l6, George Grey, 42, and William James,
'23, all of whom had pleaded guilty to indictment' charging
them with wilfully setting ere to corn and straw stacks,
were brought up for judgment.
These came were all of the same deecription, the prisoners
baying, in the most wanton and deliberate manner est fire
to and destroyed a large quantity of agricultural Leda"
without any other apparent object or motive than t t they
Deemed to entertain an impression that they should better
their condition by being sent to prison. It appeared that
the prisoner James had been coavicted of arson on a previous
occasion and sentenced to three years' penal eervitude, and
the offence to which he had now pleaded guilty appeared to
have been committed almost immediately after he came out

SECOND COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice Blackburn and a Common Jury.)
TWIN= V. WALKI3.—THZ LATE WATCH ROBBERY IS
COHNHILL.
This was an action to watchmaker the amount of the reword
offered by Mr. Walker, , Re., in Combat, for
the apprehension of the bursters and the recovery of the
valuable property stolen from the defendant's premises in
February last. The defendant had paid 111. into court es
sufficient to meet the plaintiff's demand.
Mr. Serjesnt Parry and Mr. Lorton were maned for the
plaintiff ; Mr. D. Semour, Ws C., Mr. Pearce, and Mr.
Butler Rigby were counsel for efendant.
la February last a large number of very valuable watches
were stolen front the defendant's premises in Combat.
Handbills were afterwards printed and circulated, offering
by the defendant a reward of 2501. for such information as
might lead to the conviction of the thief or thieves, and •
further reward of 7501. for such information as might lead
to the recovery of the property, or in proportion to the
property recovered. It appeared that the plaintiff carries
on the business of • watchmaker at 19, Wildernessrow,
Clarkeowell. On the morning of Feb. 14, • man, who after-
wards turned out to be Roberts, one of the men convicted
of the robbery, called upon him and presented a gold watch
which he wished to have repaired. lie desired Roberts to call
again in the afternoon, and in the meantime he examined
it when it struck him it might be one of the stolen watches,
, and he took it to Mr. Walker's, and on showing it to the
, defendant's son he recognised it as one of the stolen
watches. He next communicated with the police, and two
were stationed in the plaintiff's back room, to wait for
Roberts's arrival. Roberts called in the aft:moon, and he
was apprehended, and when he was searched a second
watch, a part of the robbery, was found !spoil him. The
two watches were valued at 1001. The plaintiff had brought
this action for his share of the reward.
Cross-examined—Part of the maker's name was erased
before the watch was brought to him by Roberts; be posi-
tively denied that he made it. He did sot know what
business Roberts was, but they had dealt together for about
tench months. It was sot usual for him to ask his cus-
tomers for their addresses. Roberts was known to him es
" the Quaker." He did not send Roberts to any other
person to erase the name.
David Roberts, who was brought up in custody, and wore
the convict dens, deposed that he was apprehended on the
charge of 'Malin the watches, mad oa the 17th, sent Mr.
and Mrs. Adey (his sister), to the City police, and they
visited him le Newest., whets be gave them same valuable
informatioo. He became presumed of it through Mrs. Hicks,
rod he told them that the burette were to be found at No.
124, an eel-pie shop, in the Whiteehapel•road. They said
that if it turned out true he should receive • pardon end
some money with which to emigrate. He did not know the
burglars then, bet he afterwards ancertaieed who they

of prison.
Mr. Justice Mellor told the prisoners that they had
been guilty of a most serious offsllol, without any
reasonable object or motive, except that they appeared to
think that it would be advantageous to them to be sent
to penal servitude. He did not think they would entertain
the same opinion when they came out, and the sentence he
should pus upon Grey and Parkins would be penal
servitude for seven, and upon James, that of penal
servitude for 10 years.
Sarah 311:a Drew, 35, a respectable looking woman, wee
charged upon an indictment, and also by the coroner's
inquisition, with the wilful murder of ber female child,
Catherine Drew.
Mr. Barrow prosecuted ; the prisoner was defended by
Mr. Ribtoo.
It appeared that the prisoner was • married woman, end
lived with her husband at Gillingham, near Chatham. She
was delivered of the child in question in August last, and
there appeared to be no doubt that at the time of her
coofieement she was not in a eau coodition of mind. She
bad been in a similar audition during two pre
deliveries, and it appeared that she had upon one occasion
been emit to a lunatic asylum. The evidence went to show
that about four weeks after the child in question had been
born, the prisoner seized an opportunity when she was not
observed to take it into the yard, and throw it into a duet,
where it was suffocated in the soil. Almost immediately
afterwards she appeared to have coolly narrated what she
had done, and did not seem to have the slightest idea of the
frightful character of the sot, and all the surrounding
circumstances tended clearly to show that at the time she
was not a responsible being.
The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty on the ground
of insanity, arid the prisoner was ordered to be detained in
safe z.astody during her Majesty's pleasure.

Crooaeraniined—He bad known the plaintiff about three
yeora. When ho took the watch to biro to be roosiied th•
plaintiff offend 91. for it, but he declieed to eial what be
'Galled other peoples property. Plaintiff took the plate off,

the beginning of August which caused • disruption of that
ooenctioe. The unfortunate girl, it seemed, met with a
young man from Wakefi who began to pay bee attention.
After this the prisoner was told to leave the house, sail that
his attentions woold be so longer reesived. On Siesdeiy
night, the 13411 of Auguse—(and the learned oesseel drew
the attention of the jury to the, because possibly on what
occurred that night they would have to some extent to bass
the opinion to which in the result they mast oome)—the
deceased had goal to tea with a neighbour named Hannah
Hurst, and about 5 o'clock they were both standing at the
door. The prisoner mewed without anything of importance
occurring, but between 9 and 10 o'clock be returned to
Hurst's, and iuquired for Hannah Brook. He amid« coed that
shelled gone home, end he thee made used thine:premien:
" This young man is coming from Wakefield next Sunday
if I can't have her (meaning deceased) no oneelse shell."
11 was for the jury to put their interpretation upon these
words, but it wu certainly very extraordinary language to
use so very recently before the event that happened. Oa
the 19th of August, the day on which the murder was said
to have been committed, the prisoner, between 9 and 10
o'clock in the evening, was in Commercial-street, Batley.
He was dressed in his rifle uniform, and had in his laud •
rifle, and in • sheath by his side • bayonet. He was there
spoken to by some one whom he had previously known,
and he then stated that he wee going to tirook's house. He
wee told, for some reason,that to had better not. Pity,
indeed, it is, said the learned counsel, that he did not
yield to that natation ; pity, indeed, that, in spite of
that caution, be still pererreeed end went. About eleven
o'clock that night a man named Pease, who lived next
door to the demised, heard • cry of murder three or four
times. He immediately lett his own hones, and on ras-
Sig the dust he sew Mee. Brook, the mother. strenflicfl

said, Nem =shed Into the home, and found Hannah Brook

The prisoner was standing within a yard or two. inflicting
severe monads on his own throat. Pease Immediately seised
therimoserother people cane to his esanonse, the prisoner
was thrown on the floor, and the baymettaken from his hand.
Whilst this wee going on, Mrs. Brook, the mother, fol-
lowed into the house, and it weethen seen that her night
drew was saturated with blood. She had scarcely pared
the threshold when she fell upon the floor, and
within
tote minutes both Sarah and Hannah Brook were numbered
with the dead. A was then sent for, sad while
he was dressing the s wounds, the latter made use

NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Liveeroot., Dec. ,19.
Caown 00oWL—{Belch Mr. Baron Pigott )
John Realm and Thomas Walton were brought up for
arraignment, under an indictment charging them with the
murder of James Barton. at the Button Pit Colliery, Haih,
near Wigan, on the 2nd January, 1863. Healey plerdsd
guilty.
Baron Pigott—Do you mean that you wilfully, end of
your malice aforethought, took part in the murder of this
man, or do you mean to say that you are not guilty
The prisoner-1 am guilty as the child when 'ban, but
before baptism. (The plea seemed rather to pilule the
oourt, but it wan recorde I.)
Walton pleaded not guilty.
Mr. itspinall, Q. 0., who appeared for the prosecution,
wished to make an application to his lordship to postpone
the trial. The learned judge bad no doubt carefully read
the depositioes, and was aware that, as regarded the prisoner
Walton, one material statement made by him related to
watch which he mid had been thrown at a particular point
into the canal, the point being described with some mi-
nutemen. After great consideration his learned friend and
himself had come to the conclusion that it would in any
event hardly be setiafactory to have Walton tried,
and a vindict taken, upon such evidence as that
before the court, unless something bad been done
to ascertain the truth of that statement. They bad made
inquiries, and though no doubt it would involve very con-
siderable time, expense, and interference with traffic, it was
yet possible to have the canal emptied at that point, and to
ascertain whether or not the watch was there ; for although
the act took place some two yearn ago, them was no lemon
to suppose that any change could in this time have taken
place which would prevent the possibility of its being
toned.
His Lordship eventually postpsned the trial until the
next March 'mime.
