THE ATTORMET-GENNBAL V. RIVAL-CHARITY OP THE

" UNIPORM FRENCH CONORROATIONB."

This' was an information to administer a charity consisting
of trust funds bequeathed by a succession of benefactors
commencing from the time of Queen Elizabeth, for the pur-
pose of supporting certain French protestant churches, of
which the earliest bad been established by refugees
from the persecutions of the Duke of Alva, in
the Low Countries, and from those consequent upon
the 'revocation of the Edict of Nantes in France. The
funds, which had become considerable, had been bequeathed
to the charity under the description of the " Uniform French
Congregations." Of these the earliest had settled at Canter-
bury in the time of Archbishop Laud, by whom they bad
been induced to adopt the English liturgy, and been allowed
to carry on religious service in their own form in the crypt of
the cathedral. Since that time a great number of congrega-
tions had been established in London and elsewhere. Lat-
terly, however, the number of such congregations had been
considerably reduced, and it wu the object of the present in-
formation to obtain a scheme for the administration of
the funds under the circumstances.
Mr. Wood appeared to support the petition.
The Solicitor-Oeneral and Mr. Collins, on behalf of the
trustees. offered no opposition.
The Vice-Chancellor made an order referring it to the
Muter to inquire of what the charity funds consisted, and
to approve of a scheme for their future administration.

STOPPING THS VIENTILATiON VIA COAL MINE.
John Harrison, 28, wee aarged with basing, on the 10th
of March last, at Wathiipon.D.arne, feloniously filled up
and obstructed a certain air-way belonging to a coal-mine.
Mr. Overend and Mr. Cnarlesworth prosecuted; the prisoner
was defended by Mr. Pollock.
In order to ventilate the mine, shahs are made, through
which the air has ingress and .gress. In what is celled a
"bank;" in the "down cast shaft," or the one into which
the current of air first enters, the pri,otier, who was a miner
in the pit, was employed, and any impediment made in hie
part of the works would entirely cut off any communication
of air in other parts of the pit. 0 r Saturday, the 10th of
Mar. h,the prisoner was the last mass in the pit,tud left his work
at two o'clock in the afternoon. No person was in the pit from
that time till early on the following Monday morning, when
the under-ground steward, named Gill, and a miner, named
Hoyes, went, as was their custom, to make au inspection of
the mine prior to the arrival of the workmen at six o'clock,
in order to see that no accumulation of foul air had arisen
in the meantime. Tney entered the pit with a Davy lamp,
and had not proceeded far before the lamp indicated a con-
siderable quantity of impure air. It was subsequently die.
ci.vcre d that the ttimner's " bank " was completely filled
up with shale. The obstruction was removed, and ventila-
tion restored. Instead of coming to work at six on the
Mcnday morning the prisoner did not arrive till sever,.
On being charged with having placed the shale in the bank,
the prisoner replied, " I did it last thing, for I thought
nothing about it ; I did it till I moved some wood." In
order to prove a malicious motive on the port of the prisoner
it was proved that, owing to his neglecting his work, he had
been thrsatened the day before with dismissal from the ser-
vice of the prosecutors.
Fa the defence it was urged that there was an entire ab-
sence of malicious motive, which, in order to convict the
oriel .ner, must be clearly proved ; it was admitted that he
had acted carelessly and in a wanner reckless of danger, but
had not the design which the indictment imputed.
The jury retired, and after an absence of calf an hour re-
turned& verdict of Not Guilty, expressing an opiaion that the
primer had not acted maliciously but carelessly.
An application was made fur Ms discharge, but Mr. Jus-
tice Wightman declined to mske that order at present.

THB POLICB COUBTS.
GUILDHALL.
CHAILOE or HOILSINVIZALING —John Blake, describ. d
as a butcher, residing in Great George.street, Bermond.ey,
and James IVest, were charged with being concerned in the
threefold charge of fraud, forgery, and horse-stealing.
A clerk from Mr. Games' office appeared to defend the
prisoners.
It appeared that, on the 6th of July, a man applied to
Mr. Eyke, the carman acd horse-jobber, in Milton-street,
and stated that he wanted to hire a horse for Mr. Bartholo-
mew, of Hackney-road. Mr. Eyke, feeling confident all
was right, was induced to let the Mall have a favourite mare
for that afternoon, es the horse he usually let for that pur-
pose was out. The more was desired to be brought home
in the evening, and the other horse could be had instead.
The mare was taken about one o'clock, and nothing more
was sten of it until the following morning, when, singularly
enough, the mare came in a cart to Mr. Eyke'a shop from
Mrs. Cos, of Wheatsheaf-yard, Farringdon-street, for two
gucrtc nof oats. Mr. Eyke instantly identified the mare,
and it turned out that Mrs. Cox had bought her on the pre-
ceding aiternnon, in Smithfield, from the prisoners, for 101 ,
paying Orc r 71., and promising to pay the remaining 3L the
following week. The fraud was then discovered, and the
prisoners were taken into custody.
The answer to the charge was, that the horse was pur-
chased by the prisoner Slake Irons a man in St. John's-
street.

The attorney's clerk urged that it was a bona fide affair
on the put of the prisoners. It wee not likely that a man of
so much respectability as Blake would risk his fortune for a
few pounds.
Mr. Alderman Musgrove said he should remand the pri•
goners, to afford time for the discovery of the other party.
Bail was offered on behalf of Blake.
The Alderman refused.

UNWHOLESOME MEAT.—Mr. G. Fisher, the inspector of
meats for the City of London, applied for power to condemn
the carcass of a domed cow. He stated that at sin o'clock
that morning his attention was drawn to a shed used as a
slaughter-honse in Harrow-alley, Aldgate-market. He
looked through the key-hole, and raw the carcass of a cow
dreised in the usual way for ale. Seeing it was diseased he
made every effort to net inside the shed, which was occupied
by Mr. Grainger. Ile placed a policeman at the door to
prevent any person leaving within ; and after some time he
succeeded in getting the key. He there found the carcase
in one mass of putrefaction ; the cow had died in the last
law of diastase, and a more frightful case he had never
pelienced, _

ii..ib;eklington, clerk of the market., said the carcass
was rot only unfit for human consumption, but it wax dan-
gerous to lay hold of. The cow bad dial in the worst form
of disease, and it was dead many hours before it was removed
to the slaughter•houae.
Mr. Alderman Musgrove observed that it was a most la-
mentable thing to find, when they had s 9 much cholera
and disease about, parties endeavouring to palm upon the
public food which was even unfit for dogs to consume.
Toe c3rporation were determined uron suppressing the now
common practice of selling unwholesome food. Of course,
hi• first order would be to direct that the diseased car-
cass be forthwith destroyed and Mr. Grainger would be sum-
moned for allowing it to be prepared for human food upon
his premises.
SOUTHWARK.

ATTEMPTED MURDER PRTIMiErLOIIIY.—HafTiti Moor,
a respectable-looking female, who was stated to he the
wife of a barrister's clerk in the Temple, and Jane Thomp•
son, a young woman of good connexions, were charged with
attempting to murder Mary Ann Bell under the following

It appeared that the husband of the first-named r risoner
had deserted her, and was in the habit of visiting the complain-
ant, and that Mrs. Moor accompanied Jane Thompson, who
is a relative of hers, to the complainant's lodgings in the
Cornwall-road, on Friday, at five o'clock, where they knocked
at the front door until it was opened, when they immediately
rushed into the oompleinant's apartment, dragaed her out
of bed, and finally struck her violently with the poker about
the body and head. The landlady of the house and other
parties rushed into the room, and saved further injury being
done to the complainant, who was taken to Guy's Hospital,
and the prig°, era were taken to the station-house.
The complainant attended to support the charge, but she
was very weak, and a certificate was handed in from Mr.
M'Murdo, setting forth that she was not out of danger.
Both prisoners cried bitterly during the examination,
which lasted several hours, and, in defence, Mrs. Moor said
she was an injured woman ' • that her husband's coaduct had
nearly broken her heart, and had so exasperated her that she
hardly knew what she did.
Jane Thompson said that being a relation of Mrs. Moor,
and feelirg indignant at her busband's conduct, abe foolishly
consented to join in the affray.
Mr. Seeker said that a very grievous assault had been
committed, and as the complainant was reported to be in
a dangerous state, he should remand them until Thursday.
ATTZMYTED HT A CHILD. Sarah Gould, a
young girl about eleven year' of age, whose parents carry on
a respectable basinele in the vicinityof the court, wucharged
with attempting to drown herself at London-bridge.
Police constable 462 A said he raw the prisoner run down
the stens of London-bridge, near Fanning's wheel; • little
after five o'cl .ck on Friday afternoon, and as soon as she got
to the river she plunged henelt in and sunk under a barge.
He procured assistance, and soon dragged her out, but it was
some time before eh* was restored to consciousness.

In answer to the charge the prisontr said that her mother
had ill used her.

The mother informed the magistrate that the girl bad mis-
behaved herself, and because she chided her she ran out of
the house.

Mr. Becker said most likely her mind was disordered, and
to save her from attemptin; such a rash act again, he should
order her into confinement, where she would have the atten-
tion of a surgeon and a minister of the gospel.—He accord-
ingly ordered her to be taken to gaol hr a few days.
