CLITHEROE.

Oa Saturday tic members of this committee, Mr.
G. A. Hamilton, chairman, Sir T Herbert, Sir J. Duke,
Mr. Butt, and Mr. S. Leine, proceeded to take evidence to
establish treating against the sigma of Mr. Aspinal!, the
sitting tau miter.
James Budd, a publican, the first witness examined, de-
posed that he delivered a bill for refreshments supplied to
voters to Mr. Dewerden, an active member of Mr. Asni-
nail's committee, and that he subsequently applied to Mr.
Hartley Baldwin for the amount of it, but Mr. Baldwin.
who was also a inembet of Mr. Aepinall's committee, told
him that ho had no money, and that they were not going
to pay the bills yet. That was before the inquiry into the
previous election in 1802. Mr. Dewerden, who had Mr,
Bailey with him, mitered breakfast for about 40 person.,
at witness's house, on the last nomination day, mud wit-
ness also supplied Avinall's committee with convey-
ances. Mr. Aspinall and Mr. Baldwin canvassed him at
the election in 1802, but not at the last electioe. Had
about 50 or Go watchers stationed at his house ou the day of
nomination' and had the pleasure of seeing his windows
smashed in by the crowd. The windoo • were those of the
commercial room, wherein sot Mr. Aspinall and his friend.,
and during this occurrence voters were getting " glasses "
in the diff.rent rooms. These "watcher." were sent by
Mr. Starkey, and bivouacked in the stables and outyards,
and Luxherry, Mr. Starkey's build, gave orders fur their
supplies of forage, consisting of bread and cheese end ale.
Mary Arnold, wife of John Arnold, a voter of Clitheroe,
stated that Mr. Dewhurst introduced Mr. Aspinall to her
on coming to solicit her husbend's vote, and Mr. Aspinall
gave her his card, and Mr. Devrhurst told her to tell her
husband to go on to the Calf's Head, at Worliston, a abort
distance on, and get some supper. This was said in Mr.
Aspivall's presence. 'I here were three other gentlemen
with them, and they took her by surprise at the time, as
she was r itgaged in " milking the cows."
Arnold, the husband, on being called, corroborated this,
and described the supper at the Call's Head. The supper-
eaters cheered for Aspinall lustily. Mr. Devrhuret was
there, and asked him for his " vote and interest " fur As-
pinall. Mr. Hartley Baldwin and Mr. Southern, the land
steward et Mr. Aspinall, ant many voters and non-voters
from Clitheroe, were there. There was a "goodish "
table, with good cheer, and all sitting round.
When asked for his vote and interest, as the entertain-
ment was going on, he said "he would nut *make any
promise until he had seen and beard both sides." Ile did
not see Mr. Baldwin elder the liquor, or see anything paid
for. The voters had brandy, and the non-electors heir.
They were a very jolly party, and Mr. Baldwin said to him,
" I'll set your name down." There were about '2O vutera
from Clitheroe, and Mr. Aspinall left on horseback. He
had had notice to quit his cow farm, but it had been with-
drawn since he voted for Aspinall. Ile did not get abso-
lutely drunk, but we sit away " staggering like." Oae of
the peculiarities of this supper contested in what was culled
" coupling," that was to say, pledging one another in glasses
round; but the "coupling" had another stenificodiun attached
to it, namely, that those who " coupled" would, it was under-
stood, vote for Aspinall ; and when it came to his turn, after
beginning at the top of the table and going down-
wards, witness, wishing to be neutral, took up hie cap and
cut. (Laughter.)
The committee then, at two o'clock, adjourned to this
day at ten.
'The witness committed to the custody of the Sergeant-
at-Arms, for prevarication, has not yet been released, but
eapresees great penitence to the hon. chairman, who has
paid him two or three benevolent visits. There is some
talk of keeping him confined until the close of the inquiry,
as a warning to other witnesses-, and tine, perhaps, be will
not regret, as hie quarters, provided by the Sergeant-at-
Arms, under the clock tower, are by no means uncomfort-
able, were it not for the reflection that he will have to pay
that functionary's " fees."

LONDONDERRY AND ENNIERILLEN.-0a Friday, this
bill, No. 2, passed the Committee of the House of Lords.

THE CASE OF PHILLIPS, THE CABMAN.

TO THE EDITOR OP THE EXPEEBS.

SlR,—The veracity of my short report of the above
ease, in Wednesday's papers, having been impeached in
the most startling manner, through the medium of the
Home Secretary, it becomes my unpleasant duty to address
you upon the subject.
Lord Palmerston, in givirg what purports to be the, re-
Milt of his promised inquiry, distiretly stated that " the cab-
ana* declined the measurement of the distance—not assign-
bars' a reason the want of .51., but generally refusing that
mode of settling the matter;" thus leasing the house to
infer that my report of the cabman's plea of poverty, and
of Mr. Henry's own words in deciding the case, was a
complete invention. And for what purpose ? With what
possible motive ? Wilfully to annoy or malign a gentle-
man from whom I have experienced the utmost courtesy
and attention during all the years he has presided at Bow-
street—who has ten me access to every source of informa-
tion whenever I ave needed it, and whose public useful-
ness, as a magistrate,
.1 feel I may add, without presump-
tion I have repeatedly enabled the public to appreciate as
well myself.
I am sure, sir, you will not think me capable of anything
so base or foolish as this. Neither cur, I be, reasonably,
charged with wishing to excite a false sympathy on behalf
of cabmen, after my long Bow-street experience of the fra-
ternity, and after being engaged all the previous week, as I
had been, in exposing their extortionate demands upon the
public.
I reported this cue, because I felt that Mr. Henry, in hie
ardour to enforce obedience to the provisions of the new act,
had made a grave mistake, and had not acted with kie
usual discrimination. I was struck, as the complainant
the -

was, with the unjust punishment inflic,ed upon
and when Mr. Henn declined to liaten to Mr. Bond's
appeal for a reversal or postponement of the decision, I had
se alternative but to send the facts for publication. And
the cue had not been before the public many hours before
a number of benevolent people (including several ladies)
had called at the court in the hope of being permitteu to
pay the man's fine and expenses.
Now, sir, I am as confident as I am of my own existence
that the following words were uttered by Mr. Henry, in
giving his decision—" Then, as you cwanot pay the Is. de-
posit I shall take Mr. Bond's statement (of the distance)
as evidence of the fact, end convict you of the overcharge,
for which you must pay the penalty of 4fis., or go to prison
for a mouth." _

I took down these words at the moment, and I gave therm
as they were uttered—in the first person—to prevent mis-
apprehension. No part of that report has ever been ques-
tioned by any one of the persor.s connected wish the court, or
by saybody else who heard the cue. Mr. Henry sat upon
the bench on the day when it appeared iu the newspapers,
and did not breathe a word of disapproval. On Friday
morning, when I saw that the malts r had been taken up
in the house, I drew his attention to the subject. Mr.
Henry said, " It is a pity you did not nuke it appear, in
your report, that I decided the Cabe upon my own know-
ledge that the distance was under the three miles." Not a
word about the man's alleged refusal to hove the ground
measured was then hinted, and I waJ never more asto-
nished in my life than to find that this extraordinary
suer:ion was eventually put forth in justification of the
decision.

I am, air, your obedient pervant.

There was also an indictment against the prisoner for a
robbery upon the pruenuirin, it being alleged man aggrava-
tion that at the time of conimating the rubbery the ri-
mer was armed with an offensive weapon.
Mr. Denman appeared far the prosecution. Mr. Eibton
defended the prisonir.
The learned counsel in opening the ease for the proms-
tint, described it as being one of a singular nature, es
account of the circumstances of the offence having bees
committed so far back as the year 1640, and the atrocity
with which it had been effected.
Berah Trier, a Ivory respectable looking woman, appii-
matly between forty and fifty years old, deposed that she
livid with her hothead, at a village called Gaston, near
Dover. On the 11th February, 1848, about five o'clock la
the evening, she war returning to her own house from •
village celled Dockland, and in doing so she had to crass a
field. While she was crossing this field the prisoner came op
to her and without saying a w ad he put his arms round her
neck and intimated an intention to commit an assault upon
her. Bhe screamed sad bogged him to denier, upon which
he pul:ed &lane clasp knife from his pocket, sad said If
you mesa that, 111 cram your mouth and kill you." The
sight of thee halts and the threats of the prisoner alarmed
her so mar that she was usable to offer any mere resist-
roe, and the prisoner then succeeded in perpetrating the
offence with which he wee charged. Having done this, be
sided her pockets of all the money and everything elm they
ertalaird, and took two rings from her fingers and ran off,
and with more difficulty she succeeded is getting home and
Immediately gave information of what had occurred. The
v constable and some other persons went shortly after-
wards app ehend the prisoner, but they could not find him,
mid she did sot see him again until be was taken into cu-
rdy about two months ago.
31r. RAM, laboured with a geod deal of isseanity to
show the partiality of the precut:4 being mistaken aa to
the ideality of the prisoner, and he urged upon the jury
that, U they had the slightest doubt upon the matter, they
might, and especially la so serious a cam, to give him the
benefit of that doubt.
The goateed judge having mused up, the jury at once
Mused • verdict of (leaky.
His lordship in pamsng ammo, said that the ptiesser
had been convict of • most abominable outrage on al
respectable woman, and the ease presented a memorable
'sample of justice overtaking an offender, although she
war sometimes slow in the penult. Everything that in-
vaulty could devise had been urged en his behalf, but he
win glad to see that the jury were too enlightened to
permit themselves to be mystified by such arguments, and
had returned the only verdict warranted by the evidence.
The case appeared to him to retain every element of
atrocity ; for having gratified his criminal passions, the
primer had then carried out the bas and miserable object
of, plunder. Under all the airmiutances, he felt it :to
be his duty to order him to be transported for twenty
yens.
The remainder of the day was occupied in disposing of
cases of • similar kind, the details of which are unfit for
publication. In one case five young men, who were charged,
one as principal, and the others as accessories to the cern-
mission of • gimlet crime, were all convicted, and sen-
tenced to be transported for twenty year.

The painful circumstance rekrred to was a difficulty in
which he had involved himself by making a previous
promise to another young lady at Trentham). He
had hoped to get out of that difficulty by the
payment of 2,0001. and repeatedly said he had no
doubt be should be aide to do so. That however was • mere
idle pretest, as the defendant had since married a Miss Lacy,
who was not the young lady at Trentham. Shortly after this
the plaintiff, um furtanately, lost her father and uncle, but she
avoided pressing her claim until she found that the defendant
had married Miss Lacy. The Rev. J. Bell, of Boltslerstone,
wrote to the defendant CO behalf of the plaintiff, and called
upon him to state what reparation be was prepared to make
for the serious injury he had inflicted upon Miss Twaddle
—elms was not actuated by any feeling of revenge—and
although she had suffered by his eouduct, she did not wish
to lower him in the opinion of those whose regard he had
well earaed. Defendant replied be was quite prepared to
meet any proceedings that might be adopted towards him,
and the action was commenced.

Several wanness having been called in support of the
shove,
Mr. Temple •ddreased the jury for the defendant, and
adverted to the great difference between the posi-
tion in life of the plaintiff and defendant. He admitted
that it was en imprudent set on the part of a man whoee
disparity of age was so great,eompared with that of the plain-
tiff,but he denied that she ever had any real affection for ►im,
and therefore there were no wounds of the heart. The de-
fendant did not east any imputation upon the character of
the plaintiff, but he did complain of the way he had been
treated. He ridiculed the idea of the young lady's
nem being caused by the breach of contract, sad informed
the jury that the defendant had been engaged to Miss Lacy I
long before ►e married her. But there was one Incident
in the history which afforded a key to the whole, Tiff., the
discharge of the aunt from the farm she had occupied for
some time rent free. In October, 1852, tke defendant mar-
ried his prese:.t wife, and five months we. allowed to elapse
before any intimation was given him of the commence-
ment of proceedings. The learned counsel, therefore,
implored the jury to send Mr. Ramsbay back to his own
county with his reputation unsullied by this conspiracy
against him.
Mr. Justice Wightanan then summed up, end left the
jury to determine whether, list, there was • contract of
marriage, and if so, to what damages the plaintiff wee
fairly entitled.
Thtjury, alter a short deliberation, found • verdict for
the plaintiff—Damages 3,0004.

the plaintiff, broke off the engagement, and committer:

Having brought lasting shame upon the plaintiff and her
family, the defendant, in the most becalms manner, said
that he was too old to curvy, and that he would consider
about it. From that time, in December last, the connexion
was broken off.

Coax, July 22.—We have little alteration to notice this
week iu the corn trade, except for Wheat, which is firmly
held at Is advance. Wheat in fair request at the advance
noticed above. Indian Corn remains without alteration.
Barley firm, and 3d. d . Oats without change ; this
article is now in small compass, and held firmly. Flour
moves off freely at the advance noticed in our last. Indian
Meal and Oatmeal remain without alteration. The receipts
of native produce to the corn market during the week have
been—Wheat, 47 herr,* at 235. to 265. per brl.; Barley, 33,
12s. 9d. tolls. 6d. ; Oats, 405, lls. to 13s. Bd. And the
receipts to this day's market have been: Oats, 121 burr's,

Thomas Craig, chandler, Old Ford; and Thomas Henry
Phillips, chandler, Old Ford.

WATEMPOILD, July 23.—Our arrivals of Grlia since Sa-
turday lest are again large, particularly of Indian Corn, the
import of which amounts to 10,390 qrs. Influenced by the
improved accounts from England, our market has been
characterised by great firmness, with a tendency to higher
prices for Wheat and Oats. We have had 4 good demand
for all descriptions of Foreign Wheat, and the rates realized
have generally exceeded those current on this day se'anight
by 64. per barrel. The supply of Oats continues inadequate
to the wants of the made, and purchases can hardly be
made on such good terms es at the close of last week :
Indian Corn—The large quantity pressing un the market
ex ship has caused a further reduction in prices, and all
qualities most be noted cheaper by 3d. per barrel. At this
decline the sale is by no means extensive. Flour has been
in rather better request, at full prices. Numerous reports
of the reappearance of the potato disease have reached us
this week:—lmports:—Wheat, 6,870 qrs.; Indian Corn,
10,390; Flour, 114 sacks. Exports:—Oats, 4,700 barrels;
Flour, 2,249 sacks.

CRICKLADE MONTHLY CHEESE MARKET.
The opening market, holden Tuesday the 19th inst., was
attended with complete success. Nearly 25 tons of the
various sorts were pitched, and all sold at good prices with
the exception of one let of thick. A lot of beautiful pale
thin belonging to Mr. Howse, of Ersey, near Cricklade,
and a lot of thick, belonging to Mr. Hopkins, of the
Parsonage Farm, Cricklade, and especially a lot of
very prime loaf, from the celebrated dairy of Mr.
W. J. Sadler, of Caleutt, attracted particular notice,
all of which sold at the top prices, the loaf of Mr.
Sadler realising 685., and consigned to Mr. Lovell,
of London, for the shipping trade. There were other
lots of this description, of superior quality, of Cheese so
much sought titer for the shipping and Welsh trade. The
members of the Borough and Hundreds, Mr. John Neild
and Mr. A. L. Goddard, attended the market, and kindly
took the chairs at the market dinners, Mr. Neild at the
White Hart Inn, and Mr. Goddard at the White Horse
lan, whore, on proposing the toast of " Success to
the Cheese market," they took the opportunity of
expatiating on the benefits of public competition,
and urged the dairymen to persevere in supporting
so desirable a mart for the sale of their commodity
as a public Cheese market. The market committee were
highly gratified at the result of their labours, and it is evi-
dent that the public are convinced the town of Cricklade is
an excellent locality for the facility of public sale for the
best North Wilts and Eastern Gloucester C ; and it ie
expected that the quantity pitched at the next and future
markets will be at least doubled. The future markets will
be held on the third Tuesday in every month.

lilr-./acTwi;r then addressed the jury. He commented
upon the great disparity of years between the plaintiff and de-
fendant. The defendant had been on intimate terms with the
plaintiff's family. He had been in the habit of visiting the
house; had smoked his pipe there; had joked with and
kissed the plaintiff and her sisters, not improperly, but
in the manner is which some old men were wont to do.
It was ems of the most singular breaches of promise of mar-
riage he had ever heard in his life. There was not a single
scrap of paper produced, declaring in glowing terms the
affection which existed between the parties. What toss had
the plaintiff sustained by not marrying the defendant ?
Why, she had lost an old man, old enough to be her father.
For his own part, he (Mr. K.) believed that the defendant
had told the plaintiff he would many her only by way of
joke, having no serious intention of fulfilling his promise.
Mr. Justice Wightman summed up, and the jury gave •
verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 4001.

EXECUTION OF A PARIIICIDL—Daguet, who was
lately condemned to death by the Court of Assizes of the
Creuse for having barbarously murdered his father, mother-
in-law, and sister, was executed last week in the market-
place at °tient. After his condemnation be manifested
great repentance, and made daily presents of money to his
fellow prisoners. Ile wrote letters to eiffaeut persons, in
which he showed that he possessed a degree of education
above his dais. He by some means got hold of an old penal
code, published previous to 18,52, and reed again and again
the clauses fixing the manner in which parricides shall be
put to death. Ile was particularly concerned at the
idea of having his hand cut off, and frequently talked
of it. The chaplain assured him that that wu no
longer done, the penal code having been modified
on that point some years ago ; but he evidently could not
bring himself to believe it. On the night preceding his
execution be slept soundly. When awakened he expressed
regret that the execution should take place at such an early
hour ; uhe said if it had been later more people would
have been present, and the example would have been
greater. After attending mass, he took leave of his fellow
prisoners, and gave his will to the chaplain. As in the case
of parricides, his feet were then bared, a white shirt was
put over his clothes, and a black veil on his head. He was
then made to walk to the scaffold, the chaplain sopporting
him. He displayed great firmness, and continued to con-
verse with the priest whilst the executioner read the sea.
tines. He then laid his head oa the block, and as the knife
tell exclaimed, " 011.0od have pity upon me I"—Gaiiimani.
