The hearing of this ease was resumed.
Mr. Bounden Palmer addressed the Court on behalf of
the Bishop of Winchester, the vistor to the hospital.
Mr. Hobbouse followed on the same side.
The Attorney-General then replied.
His Honour said he did not consider the question at issue
one of great difficulty, but he wished to see the papers in
connexion with the case before he gave his decision.

TTAL FOR CONTIMPT.-SCRNE IN
COURT.

Mr. Leach made an application to the court in the matter
of this petition. He stated that a few days since his Honour
had made an order directing the infant, the subject of the
petition, should be delivered to a guardian appointed by the
court, but that the persons in whose charge that infant had
been placed, had refused to obey the order of the court ;
one of them, the woman under whose care tho infant was,
having disputed the order to have been that of his Honour.
The Vice-Chancellor said the infant must be given up.
On this the woman in whose care the child had been
stood forward and refused to give up the child, who was at
her aide.
His Honour informed her that the order of the court
must be abeyed and the child be given up, or she would be
committed to prison.
The woman then became most violent and refused to part
with the child, whose adopted mother she had become. She
proceeded for some time in an excited strain, and the Vice-
Chancellor not being able to calm her otherwise, directed
her to be committed for her contempt of the court.
The officer then attempted to remove the woman, but
both she and the child cried very much, the child calling
her " mother," and the pour woman screaming and strug-
glh g very much. The woman was subsequently removed
in custody.
It appeared that the woman's husband had also refused
to deliver up the child except upon being paid a sum of
251. which he claimed.
The Vice-Chancellor directed him to be committed fur
his contempt, and he also was removed in custody.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.-YESTEBDAY.
BZ/0111 Yi. COMMINIONIIL
IN RI CHAIM'S CLEIMITS

This insolvent, who had been in the army, was now a
captain in the City of London Militia. He applied under
the protection act for his final order, and woe opposed by
Mr. Duncan for Messrs. Sturm and Knight, house fur-
nishers. Mr. Cooke supported.
The point in the case was whether the insolvent had
reasonable expectations of paying his debts. Under a settle.
merit he had a claim of 20,0001. on the Hon. Lloyd Mostyn,
M.P., which was to have been paid in 1851. He had
granted annuities to the General Reversionary Society, and
Colonel William Peel and Sir Robert Clifton were his secu-
rities. Sir R. Clifton had paid his third share.
Mr. Duncan did not preu his point of opposition, but
asked for the asaigneeship.
Mr. Commissioner Phillips considered that if the insol-
vent had been paid, he would not have been under the
necessity of coming to the court. It was now too late to
appoint an assignee. His Honour granted the final order.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE

OXFORD CIRCUIT.—OxPoRD, JULY 11.

The maize business commenced this morning at ten
o'clock, Mr. Justice Coleridge presiding in the Crown, and
Mr. Justice Crompton in the Nisi Prius Court.
John Barney was convicted of feloniously wounding
John Carter, at Henley-on-Thames, on the 24th of May
last, with intent to do him grievous bodily harm.
Mr. Pigot conducted the prosecution; the prisoner was
undefended. From the evidence it appeared that the pro-
secutor was a collector of rents, and that the prisoner and
his sister occupied a cottage, for which they owed some ar-
rears of rent, and that they had been told by the prosecutor
' that he should give them notice to quit. A month after
this the prisoner met the prosecutor at Henley, and at that
time had three large sticks with him. He spoke to the
prosecutor and laid the sticks on the ground, and while the
prosecutor was about taking one of them up the prisoner
struck him a violent blow with another on the forehead.
The prosecutor fell, and the blow from the stick was of that
nature that he was insensible and in great danger for se-
venl days.
The prisoner in his defence urged that he had challenged
the prosecutor to have a little back-swording, and that while
he was selecting a stick he (the prisoner) being tipsy at the
time, and not knowing what he was about, struck hint on
the head with another stick. _ _ _

The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and the learned
judge sentenced him to 18 months' imprisonment with hard
labour.

NORFOLK CIRCUIT.-AYLESBURY, JULY 11.
Lord Chief Justice Jervis or Mr. Baron Parke was ex-
pected to open the commission at noon to-day, and the
grand jurors were in attendance to receive the charge, in
accordance with a newly-established custom, on the first day
of the assizes at Aylesbury. The High Sheriff, however,
as well as the grand jury, were disappointed, as the railway
trains arrived without either of the learned judges. The
commission was accordingly opened by Mr. O'Malley,
Q.C., and the grand jury ordered to be in attendance next
morning at nine o'clock.
The calendar is a light one. There is a cburge of at-
tempted murder, an arson and a burglary case, and one
of indecent a•sault upon a child. Beyond this, nothing of
any great importance will be the subject of trial to-morrow.

NORTHERN CIRCUIT—Yoax, JULY 10.
The commission for the county of York, the City of York,
and county of the same, was opened here to-day, before Mr.
Justice Erie. His lordship, accompanied by Mr. Justice
Wightman, arrived from London by the 5.10 p.m. Great
Northern train, but Mr. Justice Erie alone proceeded to
the respective courts, to open the commission, Mr. Justice
Wightman being conducted direct from the railway station
to the oMeisl residence.
The calendar for these assizes is comparatively light. At
the corresponding period, last year, there were 126 prisoners
and bailers; on the present occasion there are only about
90. And as to the character of the offences the calendar ie
not distinguished for any extraordinary enormity. There
is no case of murder, aced the prevailing crimes are those of
manslaughter, burglary, highway robbery, dto. Of the 69
I parties actually in custody, 59 are males, and 10 females;
the rest are out on bail. There are 63 from the West
Riding, 12 from the East, and 4 from the North. There
are 14 under 20 years of age, 31 between 29 and 30, 16 be-
tween 30 and 40 ; 6 between 40 and 60, 3 between 60 and
60, and 1 between 60 and 70. There are 26 who can neither
read nor write, 28, imperfectly educated, 10 who can read
only, and but 6 are described as being well educated.
As to the amount of civil business to be disposed of at
these anises, nothing is known at present further than that
25 causes have been entered to be tried by special juries,—
as unuritally large list, though it does not nearily follow
that the causes are heavy.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.—YESTIRDAT.
The sittings of the court for the July quarter session
were resumed this morning at the Guildhall, Broad Sane
tuary, Westminster, by adjournment from Clerkenwell, be
fore Mr. Serjeant Adams, assistant judge, Mr. Witham.
and other magistrates, when it appeared there were 81
prisoners for trial, 76 for felony, and 6 for misdemeanor.
The learned Assistant Judge addressed the grand jury
shortly upon the nature of the duty they had to discharge.
Edmund Mason, 18, w.e indicted for having stolen
ieven soverenns, *even' buttons, and other articles, the
money and property of Charles Babbage, his master, in his
dwelling house.
The prosecutor, a gentleman known to the public by hisisci-
entitle attainments, residing in Dorset-street, Manchester-
square, bad had the prisoner in his employ for some time as
page and footman. He was in the habit of keeping money in
a desk in his library, and in a safe in a strong room, and from
both of these places he missed sums from time to time, in con-
sequence of which he communicated with the police, by an
arrangement with whom he one day placed '25 marked
sovereigns in a bag, which he locked up in a desk in his
library, and then he said in the hearing of the prisoner and
the other servants that he was going to the College of Civil
Engineers for the remainder of the day. In a short time he
returned, and immediately repaired to the library, and ex-
amined his desk and the bag, and he found that during the
time he had been absent seven of the sovereigns had been
abstracted, and on • certain signal being given a police-
officer on the watch made his appearance, and all the ser-
vants were given into custody. They were all searched, but
nothing was found upon any tending to implicate them except
the prisoner, and on his person they found the 7 missing
sovereigns. He was at once taken off to the station-house,
and on the way there he admittedithat he had stolen the
money, and that he bad robbed him on another occasion.
On his being fur her searched, a false key of the library
was found upon him, and being in possession of this he got
ready access to the keys of the strong room and the other
apartments which were kept in the library. On searching
his box a variety of articles belonging to Mr. Bebbage
were found, some of which be had taken out of that strong
room ; and it was mentioned that the officer also found
bills for articles purchased by the prisoner since February
last, to the amount of 127.
Mr. Ribton addressed the jury for the prisoner.
A verdict of Guilty was returned, with a strong recom-
mendation to mercy.
The Assistant-Judge inquired of Mr. Babbags what he
euppoeed his losses amounted to in the aggregate ?
Mr. Bsbbage said in all probability to between GO/. and
1001. He could not venture to say for certain that it was
more than 401., but he had no doubt it was from 601. to 80/.,
or 1001.
The Assistant-Judge said the prisoner's youth and the
recommendation of the jury had saved him from trans-
portation. In such a case he could not possibly pass upon
the prisoner a less sentence than nine months.
A sentence for that term was then passed.

Smut Ma. W1T11,11.,

John Ilosier a large mous-
tache, was indicted for obtaining, by false pretences, from
John Harper, the sum of Its., his monies, with intent to
cheat him thereof.
It aopeared that the prisoner had for the last five or six
years been travelling with the Distin family as a pianist,
And left them about a fortnight before the present charge
was made against him. He went to a coffee-shop kept b
the prosecutor, in Drwincnond-street, Euston-square, and
engaged a bedroom, which he occupied for a fortnight, alai
he-borrowed tourWea shillings from him, representing, as
