The commission in the county of Kent was opened on
Monday. The business is much lighter than usual, there
being only 69 prisoners for trial, for ctfences of the ordinary
descriptics ; and on the de d side only 26 causes are entered,
the greater portion of which are common jury cases, and a
great many of them are undefended. In cone. quince of the
illness of the Lord Chief Justice, the Chief Baron was re-
quired to leave the circuit, to perform the dutics at cham-
bers; and Mr. Brrjeant Oszelee officiated in the Crown
Court is his absence, after the grand jury had been
chargr d.
Ma. BARON ALDERSON ON THE GRAND JURY SYSTEM.—
The learned Judge, after expressing his sati,faction at
seeing so many gentlemen in attendance to perform the
duty of grand jurors, said that he hoped the day
was far distant whrn such a spectacle would cease to be
witnessed, and when criminal matters of imporance would
be diapoeed of without the intervention of a grand jury.
Ile hoped they should never see the day when the system
provided far the administra'ion of justice in this kingdom,
that of the Queen's representatives visiting d.fferent parts of
the country from time to time, and atten ied by the g. ntry of
the countr), should he abolished, es he believed .bat such a
course would be likely to be injurious, not only to the people,
but to the government. He believed that it wu of the greatest
importance in the administration of justice, that the different
classes of society should not I e separated from each other.
The learned Judge then retired to the Nisi Pries Court,
and Mr. Justice- Gaz dee dieoosed of several eases of Cluny,
but nothing occurred in either c dert which presented any
features of public interest.

MIDLAND CIRCUIT.
LFCE4TER, JUT 24.

This day the commission was opened by Bare Parke. His
lordship congratulated the grand jury on the lightness of the
borouen ealendav, which contained but five cases, and those
of a trivial character.

The COUIIIIIII4EPII promise to be of a mere exciting cha-
racter. The calendar is said to contain three or four stab
bing cases and a brutal assault upon a female. On the nisi
prin.' side will be heard the will case of " Wiggins v.
Marlow," in which Messrs. WLitehurst, Humfrey, and
Mayes have been retained for the phintiff; while it is un-
derstood that Sir F. Th-siger has been specially retained for
the defendant. It is expected to come on to-morrow. There
will also be an important horsestealing case.

Tun OLOWSOP Mvituen

Thomas Dam. aged 2.5, was indicted for having mur-
dered, at Oloa-op, on the 30th December last, Job Duey,
his father. Mr. Wilmore and Mr. Denison for the prosecu
tion ; Mr. W. H Adams defended the prisoner.
Mr. Wilmore opened the cue at some length, and called
the following wi eaters
John l3rllge, a waiter at Bottom's public-house, proved
that the night before the murder the deceased and his son
wire drinking at that house.
John Clough, a shoemaker, residing at Glossop, said
thati on the 30th December he was near the Victoria bridge ,•
he had been at a beer-house kept by a man named Band, end
his wife fetched him away. On coming from the beer-house he
went through the market-place, and over the weighing.
machine, along the road. They proposed to go to James
Hollingsworth's' and to have a plies of beer. This is over the
bridge. When they got near to Ward's watch-house they saw
the deceased before them. He had seen him before, the same
set ning, at Bud's. He saw him met by Thomas Duey and
another man. He bad known prisoner for three years.
When he saw them meet he was about twenty yards from
the bridge on the Glossop side. It was rather a frosty night,
and there were lights about from the different shop.. Saw
Thom., Doxey lay hold of his father, and heard him call him
"an old rogue," and say "he would Ulrike him." He stru k
him and knocked him down, and the other man kicked him

on the head. Witness asked what they were going to do
with the old man, but his wife would not let him interfere
or go up to them, and he turned back. He turned round
very sh►rp to look at them, and saw that they had got him
on the tip of the battlement of the bridge. He turned round
again and went on with his wife. He heard his body fall, but
saw nor heard no more of them that night. The prisoner and
the other man went towards WhitwilL Saw pfisonir three
weeks or a month after, and said to him "Ah, , Tom," and he
replied, "if you mention what happened on the bridee your
life is in danger," and he (witness) then said he had not
mentioned it to any person. He came into Band's after-
wards and had a jug of ale, hut witness did not speak to him.
I never mentioned it until Good Friday, when I related the
circumstance to James Hibbert, a weaver, at Mr. Wood's.
I cannot swear to Dawson being the other man, but I believe
he was.

—.se-examined—l was not drunk but fresh, and knew
Clayton the constable, and told him to take prisoner into
custody. Never saw prisoner in our house that day. He
was not taken into custody or Friday but on the Sunday fol-
lowing. I will not swear that I did not go out of the way of
the examination. The second man wioh the priconer on the
bridge was about five feet nine in height. Don't know which
it was, but one of them said they would serve him the same
if be did not turn back.
Esther Clough, wife of the last witness, gave similar evi-
dence.
George Cook said—That en 30th be went to Whitfield
and returned about half-peat 10. As he came out of
a neighbour's house he met the prisoner just comieg off
the battlements of the Victoria-bridge. Another man
was with him, whom he thoueht was William
Tice. He is confident Themes Holey is the mea
he sow. When he went next morning to the
bridge he looked down into the water and saw the body
of Doxey dead ; while there be heard Thomas Doxey say,
" Now, you old —, I know where you are now." The pri-
soner was about six yards behind me, and some one asked U
prisoner was the son of old Doxey. People seemed quite
shocked at him. The body was taken away. I saw old
Doxey's body and likewise his skull. His left eye was black,
and there seemed to be some blood on it.
Edward William Thompson, clerk to the magistrates, said
prisoner made a statement before the magistrates, it was to
the effect that his father left home in the evening early, and
that he knew nothing about the murder.
Mr. Adams addressed the jury for the prisoner, and called
witnesses to peeve an alibi. These witnesses swore that the
prisoner was at home et 9 o'clock on the evening of the al-
leged murder, and that he went to bed, and did not leave
the house the whole of the night.
His lordship, in summing up, observed that the practical
question was whether they believed in the honesty of the
two Clough'. There were three questions for them to de-
cide—first, whether the deceased had come to his end by
violence; secondly, whether the character of it was clothed
in such circumstances as to constitute it murder or man-
slaughter ; and, thirdly, whether it was clearly made out
that the prisoner wee the man that committed the deed.
At seven o'clock the jury retired to consider their verdict.
They returned in about half an hour, and delivered a verdict
of Not Guilty.

MAMILAT:OHTI6 AT SM.

Yesterday, Wes. Ford (on Lail) was indicted for the man-
slaughter ot Andrew Morrison, on the High Seas, on the 19th
June last. Mr. Rowe appeared for the prosecution; the
prisoner was defended by Mr. Cos.
John Gillhani, a seaman, said he recently belonged to a
brig called the Men!, of which the prisoner was captain.
He entered at Quebec, and the first pert they made in Eng-
land wee Salcombe, in Devonshire. They mired there
about the 29th of June. Witness was an able seaman. De-
ceased was as ordinary seaman, and entered the ship with
him, being in good health at the time, and about 22 or 23
years of age. They had been 16 or 17 days at sera when he
died. No one attended him but witness, sal after his death
he sewed him up and threw him overboard. The first
night they were at sea, the captain struck him (the deceased)
with his fist and kicked him. Two or three days after Mor-
rison cemplained of being ill, having been kept in the rig-

ging and at the pumps fora long time. It was blowing then
a good top gallant breeze. Re had seen the derreast det the
pumps fur four hours at a time. The man was very ill, the
captain hying given him some castor oil. Re wog
dragged on board, when be was usable to work, and ought
t 3 have been below. About a week bef.re his death the
cook was ordered to feed him en bread and water; he
died on a log of timber, below deck. Whitt se was at
the helm when the man died ; nobody wag near him. The
last time he saw him alive was at tea o'clock the same
eteriog ; at twelve o'elotlt he wee dead. Witatts was
obliged to rut off his stockinet, his feet were so swollen.
After landing at Selombe witness went to PI) mouth to
lay the information, but was sent back to Kingsbridge, and
there I id the information before Mr. Peeve.
Re examined—Morriton never attempted to strike the
captain; he was sent into the rigging and at the pumps fur
eight bony= ; that was the time for two watches. It was
he vy weather—always is on the hanks of Newfoundland.
I When he was takirg medicine be was kept in the rigging
and at the rumps. About three d ye before his death he
I was dragged on dads with a running b3wling knot, made
I fast under his arms. The captain wa standing aft at the
time.

Several other witnesses were called to prove the captain's
ill-usage of the deceased.
Mr. Cox ad.lresud the jury for the defence. Me mated
the necessity that existed for the obedience of orders on
board merchant ships, and that the deceased bad imp seri
upon the captain by entering himself as an ordinary sea-
mier, which in tact he was not.

The learned Judge, in summing up, aid,—By law a
meoter had a right to order a man reasonably to exert
blown in the duties of the ship, and to enforce that order;
but be had no right to require an unreasonable amount t
labour, and if correction upon that caused Mani, and death
ensued, he was guilty of manslaughter. The question of the
reasonability of such an order depended upon the state of the
weather and upon the he►lth of the pels2u to whom the ord. r
was given. Two questions, therefore, arose whether the
prisoner had been guilty of employing corporal violence on
deceased, cr been guilty of ill usage, by enforcing orders
which were unreasonable and improper.
The jury in a short time retuned a verdict of Guilty.
To-day the prisoner was sentenced to two years' impiiioa-
ment with hard labour.

BROWER V ROOKS --SIMI-MON WV A CLEItOYMAW.
_ -- • - "..

Mr. Collier and Mr. Itaiiiake wire counsel for the pious-
tiff, and Mr. Greenwood, Q.C., for the defendant.

tar. Collier stated the c.se. The plaintiff was a poor
woman who had been a monthly nurse, and she bad three
daughters. She brought this action for the seduction of her
second daughter. The defendant was a clergyman, residing
in Exeter. a married man, although separated from his wife.
Maria Brooks was in his service, as she stated, in 1842. In
the month of November in that year she quitted his service
to attend her mother, who was ill. The reverend defendant

was a constant visitor at her house under the pretf nee of
bringing such articles as a sick person might uquire, and of
administering religious consolation to the mother. He
also brought religious books to prepare her for the adminis-
tration of the sacrament. He employe? the girl in making
shirts and other articles, and required her to bring them to
him singly as they were finished. On one of those occasions
he efiected his purpose. Her seduction accomplished, she
returned to his service and found herself with child. Drugs
were administered by defendant and miscarriage followed
She again became pregame, and was delivered of a child in
the defendant's house. The defendant nutted the child : it,
however, died, and he paid the expenses of burial. Some
time after he performed the rifles of churching this woman
in hi% own parlour. After the birth of the chili a series of
miseaniages occurred, each following the administration of
drugs by the deff ndant until 1848. The rev. defendant then
took another woman undi r his protection, and discarded
Brooks. Has repeatedly promised to maintain hf r for the
rest of her life, and put that promise in writing, but the docu-
ment hid been abstracted from her drawl rs.
