of the road. Had conversation with the defendant, and
asked bins whether the casks were hie property, and he re-
plied that they belonged to a friend of his, but subsequently
admitted that there was no use in denying it; that they were
his, and be hid had the colouring for the purpose of mixing
with his beer. The mixture consisted of burnt sugar, mo
lasers. and liquorice. It was illepAy used fr colouring worts
and beer.—The court gam judgment against the defendant
in the penalty of SW.

said it was impossible for him not to feel that they bad been
guilty of a two-fold and barbarous murder—a aims unpa-
ralleled in the annals of criminal justice. They had MO.
ceeded in defeating the ends of justice at the
former trial. The circumstances which had now come
out in evidence, but which had not transpired then,
removed any doubts that could have formerly existed; and
he felt satidied that had the former jury heard the evidence
which had been detailed on this occasion, they (the pri-
soners) would not have bad the remotest chance of escape
from the :severed penalty of the law. Although their lives
were net sacrificed, they must expect to be despised by all
men, even by heir own associates. There was no doubt
they had formed a deliberate plan for the murder of Ann
Humphreys also. Under these cireumstances, he felt some-
what ashamed that the law wasoot able to reach them further
then it did. He advised them, if they had any wisibm or
prudence, to endeavour to atone and expiate es far as they
could, by comparatively innocent lives hereafter, the
horrible crimes with which they had commenced their early
career. The severest sentence he could pees upon them he
should pronounce which was, that they be transported for
the term of fifteen years.

Pin a. Bt.:TLIR.—Tms IRON TRADR.—ENTICINO AND
HARROURING WORLIIIIN.—Mr. Martin and Mr. Archbold
were for the plaintiff; Mr. Baines and Mr. Hugh Hill for
the defendant. The plaintiff is an extensive iron founder at
Hull, and the defendant carries on the same busin, ss at
Stanningley, near Leeds. The action was brought to recover
compensation for injury sustained by the plaintiff, through
the defendant bevies/ enticed four moulders, named Cutler,
Bsehawe, Wood, and Richards, away from his service, and
having harboured and kept them in his (detendant's) employ,
despite a formal notice requiring him to desist, and allow the
men to return to the plaintiff to fulfil their contract with him.
These men were engaged by the plaintiff in the moulding
department—that is, forming in sand or clay the mould
in which the warm metal is to be run, and Mr. Piss being a
builder of steam-enginee, steam-packets, and so on, he re-
quired skilful men, and paid two of the moulders 33. a week,
and the other two 365. They bad been in his service for a con-
siderable time, and he bad no reason to suppose that they
were dissatisfied ; but, on the 6th of January last, Cutler,
without giving any notice, left the premises, end did not re-
turn. Inquiries were made after him, but nothing satisfac-
tory was learnt. On the following Saturday, Bagshavre and
Wood also left, and then Mr. Pim heard some rumour as to
where these men had gone. Subsequently, the fourth man,
Richards, left, and the consequence was, that the plaintiff's
establishment, which consists of about 200 workmen, was
brought to a complete stand still, and continued so fur some
days. In the meantime the plaintiff consulted his legal ad-
viser, and he wrote to the defendant, informing him that if
the men did not return to the plaintiff's work, warrants would
be taken out against them, and an action would be com-
menced against him, the defendant. They did not return,
and were therefore token before the magistrates, and
convicted, but ROA punished, on promising to go back to
Mr. Pies's service. They fulfilled that arrangement, but
three of them very soon availed themselves of the week's
notice which was required, and again left the plaintiff's
service, Bagshavre being the oaly man who remained.
The proof of enticement consisted of a letter written by
the defendant to laphawe, in which he stated that he
was directed by Cutler (who had then entered his ser-
vice), to communicate with him, and he then went on to
say that they had plenty of work, and would give him a
job and as many more geod hands as he could take with
him. It was also proved that %phew* was engaged by
the defendant, on the very day, and after he had received
the notice above alluded to, from the plaintiff's solicitor.
His lordship was of opinion that the four men were, accord-
ing to the construction put upon the rules which governed
the workmen in the plaintiff's establishment, weekly Per-
vents; and he told the jury that if they coincided in that
view, and thought the moulder were the bound servants of
the plaintiff, then the detention of them by the defendant,
after he had received the notice spr.kea of, would constitute
the alleged un!awful act of harbouring.—The jury was ab-
sent an hour, and on returning into court they found for the
defendant as to the enticing the plaintiff's servants ; but for
the plaintiff as to the harbouring, with 304 damages.

POLICE.—YanzaDAY.

MANSION-HOUSE.—A.ISAULT IN AGAIIIILING-110081.
—Abraham Moyers was charged with having violently
'malted a man named Myers. The complainant said the
defendant walked into the divan kept by the complainant,
and asked for his son, who happened to be there, and imme-
diately struck him (complainant) in the face, drugged: down
the gas apparatus, and, wrenching the banisters, acted a ith
the fury of a madman.—Solomon Hart bore evidence to the
assault, and, in answer to a question, as to whether '
gambling was carried on in the premeses, swore there
n was the least gambling in the house; nothing at all
but cigars and coffee. The gentlemen might sometimes play
drafts, but n gambled ; it wouldn't be allowed.—The
Lord Mayor: Defendant, how can you answer thisaccasation ?
Defendant: Unfortunately, my lord, I have a son whom
these people have been destroying in their villainous
den. I went there last night, and managed to get through
the three doors white shut in a room where several persons
were playing at hazard, and my son actually had the dice-
box in his band. I at once matched the din, and then the
complainent and the witness struggled with me, and got them
from me, sod pushed me against the banisters, which
snapped with my weight. My son lost there, a night or two
before, upwards of two sovereigns; and my object
was to get him away, and to enure the dice.
My appearance there caused greet confusion, for
I pushed into the room before there was time to ring the
alarm-bell. There is a square table in the room covered with
green baize, and under it there is flannel. The draft-board
is kept merely as a blind. They were all playing hazard.
Solomon Hart was again called by the Lord Mayor —The Lord
Mayor : Was there any playing with dice ?—Solomon; No
sucu thing. I never saw dice in the house in my life.
(Laughter.)—The Lord Mayor : Let the defendant's son be
sworn. Now, young man, what were you about when your
father went into the divan I—Benjamin Mayan (son of the
defendant) : I had the dice in my hand, and • set of us were
sitting round the table playing hazard.—The Lord Mayor :
How was this mischief done I—Witness : All the people
jumped over the table to get out of the house, and I tried as
well as the net. My father was knocked against the banis-
ters, and they gave way.—The Lord Mayor I dismiss the
case, end I shall endeavour to prevent you from pursuing
this villainous system.

MONEY JURIST.

TAUB/DAT BIIIIMIO.

The weekly meeting of the Bank parlour was held to-
day with, u announced by us yesterday, no move-
ment in the direction of interference with the existing mini-
mum rate of interest. The direoton may be assumed to be
competent to judge of the urgency of circumstances which
should render expedient any change in the business practice
of the Bank, and therefore this abstinence may be aooepted
as proof that the state of money grain was considered to in-
volve no ineonveniestem of present orinsuediately !reps*-

tire import sufficiently gnive to cell for say net in
their part. It wmM indeed, have been an enema-
loos proceeding to 'have raised the rate of in-
terest, which could not fail to be interpreted
as a sign (Waldron, or of danger impending from heavy drafts
forthcoming upon the metallic treasury of the Bank, with
consequent diminution of its circulation, or reserve, or both,
whilst at the same time the proprietary were wale the

meat, will be celled upon to disburse. The policy of premiss
for a bonus at this particular juncture may fairly be=
dosed; the why and wherefore may be more fully as
on some other occasion.
In the earlier part of the morning, whilst lie
dealers were still dubious what would be the course of pria,
medieg in the Bank parlour, the funds were heavy, and
Consols declined to 881 to 1 for both money and account.
But sometime before it could be ascertained officially that no
alteration in the rate of interest would be made, they had
advanced to 881 to 1 for account, end 881 to 1 for money, at
which rates they left off. Exchequer Bills were par to 3s.
pm. The interest on India Bonds has been raised to 31 per
ant., but no quotations of prices were called so as to show
bow far they might have regained value in consequence.
The foreign market remains u neglected as before, and
viols with scarcely any alteration. Brazilian were 88 to 8.
New Granada Bonds, 19 to 20 ; the Deferred, 31 to 1. Ecu-
ador, 21 to 31. Mexican, 211 to 1. Spanish Fives, 221 to f ;
the Threes, 34 to S. Portuguese. 33 to 4. Dutch Two-end-
ii-Half per Cents, 371 to 81; the Fours, 911 to 1.
A report wee current in the City today of the cabs:vase-
=tents of a house largely engagtd in the trade in maanfac-
bared goods.
It may be mentioned se a remarkable fact, end u showing
how few manufactured or other wares have been going for-
ward to the United States, that one American firm atone have,
maids the last two months, despatched thirty-one vessels
Or United State*, most of them of large tonnage, and one
err more of 1,000 tons, with stones for ballast. The vessels
were despatched of course for return cargoes of corn, flour,
and other provisions, and the great object being speedy
arrival out and back, no freight was waited for, if offered.
The fact accounts sufficiently why rates of exchange in the
United States should be more unfavourable still, than per-
haps they might be, were facilities for forwarding goods
more available, and with the usual notice for preparation
before the time of shipment.
