THE CASE OF ALDERMAN SATA/MONB.—Notice of
trial by special jury has been served in the case of Chubb
v. Salomon*, but it is not anticipated that the trial can take
place until the sittings alter term. The action has been
brought to recover three separate penalties of 6001. each.
It is understood that another action, " friendly," has been
brought against the defendant, but of course both cannot be
tried. The counsel retained in the case are Sir Frederick
Tile.iger, Mr. Bramwell, and Mr. E. James, for the plain-
tiff ; and Sir Fitzroy Kelly, Mr. Peacock, and Mr. Mills,
fur the defendant.—Morning Paper.
THE LATE MAJOR CANNON.—This officer, who
died in Dumfriesshire, N. 8., on the 15th inst., entered the
army in 1807, became a lieutenant in 1810, a captain in
1828, and a major in 1838. He served in the Peninsular
with the old 91th, Inca 1810 to 1814, and was present on
the following occasions: The defence of Fort Matagorda

first siege of Badajos, action at El Bodon, storm of Cuidad
Rodrigo (severely wounded), battles of Salamanca, Vit-
toria (again wounded), Pyrenees, Nivelle, Orthes, and
Toulouse. After the war he was placed upon half-pay,
and in 1825 became a captain in the 97th regiment, with
which he served until 1842, when he was placed on the
retired full-pay list. The late Major Cannon had received
the war medal with seven clasps.
GREAT EXIIITTITION.---A circular has been ad-
dressed to the different Chambers of Commerce throughout
Belgium, by the Minister of the Interior, soliciting them to
obtain reports, or personal impressions, from the sallow
artisans who were enabled through the government grant
to visit the late Exhibition, of what they there observed.
The Minister announces that already an unsolicited report
of the nature alluded to has been received, and expresses a
hope that those who are applied to will forward what in-
formation they may have it in their power to furnish with-
out delay.

lordship's valuable services in obtaining a repeal of the
window ditties. Resolutions to the effoct, th it a public

ject, were unanimously adopted. A eommittee having beta'
appointed, the proceedings terminated.

ing, shortly before tea o'clock, as the driver of one of Pick-
ford's heavy waggons, drawn by two hones abreast, was in
the act of driving from M .iars. Harvey's serves to the
other side of the roadway on Ludgate-hill, to an endeavour
to avoid an omnibus, the horses got on to the pavement, Use
poll of the waggon being driven with great force through
the shop window of Messrs. Deane and Son, silversmiths,

sioned. The driver, with site difficulty, and by the joint
exertions of several persons, got the waggon off the pave-
ment. _ _

SUICIDE OF A LADY AT LEICESTFR.—On Satur-
day last, at Leicester, the coroner for that town held an as.
quay into the circumstances Attending the death of Kn.
Caroline Charlotte Vesey (linden (daughter of Major Dw-
ain), who committed suicide on the previous evening by
swallowing • largo quantity of easential oil of almonds.
The unfortunate lady had been staying in Leicester for the
last month, and from document' found in her apartment it
would seem she was in a state of destitution, having spent
her last penny and failed in obtaining assistant* from the
henom to whom she applied for it. In a diary written by
r, several ladies of high rank were spoken of as her inti-
mate friends, and her property in Ireland was stated to be
is the hands of enemies and likely to continue so. The
jury found a verdict of " Temporary tneanity."
ATTEMPT OF A PRISONER TO COMMIT SUICIDE--

This was a petition by llesry LurAington that he be
declared absolutely entitled to a sum of 28,1331. 2.. Three
pie Cont. Coevals sow standing in the name of the Ae-
orisatant-Oesieral to the credit et this cense. It appeared
that the late Mr. Charles Bolder° was tenant for life in tail
to the Arpeden sod Ilerkinde estate. lle was in partnership
with Sir Henry Lu.bingwo and others as bankers, and in
1819 they became bankrupt. The assignees sold the erne-
awatel timber,and a bill was tiled against them by the
reveraser waste. by an order of the court the pro-
duce of the sale of the timber was paid into court, and the
qamitios sow before the court was whether the present
petitigmer, who has barred the entail, was entitled to this
hind lad the iaterest of it, or whether the assignees under
the hankreptey were entitled to the interest during the
life of air Henry Lushington, who was entitled to the
estate after the death of Mr. Charles boldero.
Mr. Loyd and Mr. Tripp addressed the court for the
petitioner, and Mc Roundel] Palmer and Yr. Goldsmith
for the assignors.
The Master of the Ras said if Mr. Charles Boldera had
himesir done this set, be being tenant for life, there was
se diets he would have been liable to account to the re-
VIMPAIW. The equitable doctrine was well-known, that no

seised that I. this ease the silent foe lit, would take a
anneldlomebb embestage by his urn wrung if be were to cut
the thaber.eted thereby make a considerable increase to
his Mb isaemo. The assignees, he considered, stood for
this in the place of the tenant foe life, and as he
ewM set Mite advantage of his own wrong, neither could
they, they haw lausd by the same rule. He was, there-
tees,onimis. that the petitioner was entitled to this fund,

Perry, the prosecutor. The two defendants Peel and
Greets went down to Wolverhamptou in April, and up to
the end of Jane the prosecutor led them sal some moos
in the trade to believe that he was slow is his totoolisa
to agree to the book of prices, but he aneewards siYad
that he was deceiving both the defendants and the ether
masters until Memos. Perry could place that
selves in a position of safety. So far, indeod, wee
this deception carried that on one occasion, when
the masters and men were to meet, the prose-
cutor actually hired the room for the meeting. The
defendants did not know that they were eoninutting an
offence against the law • and it was not their intention to
infringe; the Masters and Servants Act, which was proved
by the fact that when they found that hired workmen had
left the service of Mews. Perry they issued a printed no.
ties, stating that it was illegal fur hired workmen to leave
their employment until they had fulfilled their contracts.
Lord Campbell—Does it appear how the secretary and
Green were paid ?
Mr. Parry—One of the defendants tells me that the
were paid by the Natioaal United Association Ms. per week
during their absence.
Lord Campbell-1 am most anxious that all workmen
should have it in their power to get as much as possible for
their labour ; but I must confess that 1 look with some
alarm upon this general association sitting in London, dic-
tating to masters what they shall pay their men, and levy-
ing contributions for the support of such a society all over
the eountry.
Mr. M' samara was with Mr. Parry, and merely wished
to say that the purpose of the association in question was to
protect the rights of the working classes, its objects were
quite legal, and it was presided over by • member of par-
liament. The society bad esiseed for some years, and no
charge had ever been brought against it before. It was as
important that the working claws should combine to Wee
their wages, as that masters should combine, which it was
well known they did, for the protection of their interests.
Lord Campbell—And funds are levied upon all trades all
over the kingdom? Is that necessary?
Mr. MtNanaara—Yes, my lord; but it is perfectly volun-
tary. The members contribute lid. per week out of their
earnings; and the funds are distributed again among them
when they are out of employment.
Lord Campbell—That might raise a fund as large as the
revenue of some of the sovereign states of Europe.
Mr. Serjeant Alien then addressed the court on behalf of
the prosecution, and observed that of the sin prisoners who
stood on the floor of the court to ((Vein punishment for
their misconduct, all but one had been guilty of the illegal
acts of molesting, interfering with, and injuring the prose-
cutor in carrying on his business. The party who had not
so interfered was the defendant Peel. Two of the de-
fendants, Peel and Green, were not connected with
Wolverhampton, but had gone down there to create a mis-
understanding
between the masters and their workmen
when wages were amply abundant, and when the work-
men were fully employed. Peel was the secretary of the
United Trades Association, and Green was • delegate, and
that association pretended that its objects were high and
honourable, but in fact nothing was more mean and despi-
cable than its objects. The learned serjeant, after briefly
reviewing the facts of the case, concluded by saying, that
he was sure the court would mark its disapprobation of the
defendants' conduct by the sentence which it would pass.
Mr. Justice Patteson then proceeded to pass the judg-
ment of the court upon the defendants, and said that they
had been found guilty uponan indictment containing twenty
counts of a conspiracy to obstruct, intimidate, and molest
the prosecutor in carrying on his business. They had
now to receive the judgment of the court upon all
the counts in that indictment, except the 16th, 17th, and
19th, upon which • wile prosept had been entered.
The law allowed workmen to combine to raise their wages,
but did not allow them to do illegal acts. Masters might
conduct their businesses as they pleased, and workmen could
work at what wages they pleased ; but the law must not be
broken. The learned judge then proceeded to make some
remarks upon the National Trades Association to the effect,
that, considering that it possessed so large a sum as
20,0001., it was a combination which might be turned to a
bad and dangerous purpose. The defendants said they did
nut mean to violate the law, but the jury had decided that
point, and perhaps they bad meant to keep just within the
limits of the law; but people should be careful to keep
well within the limits of the law, because those who were
their agents might overstep their original intentions.
Taking into eonsideratioa the whole circumstances of the
case, the sentence of the court was, that the defendants,
Wm. Peek, Frederick Green, George DuMeld, Thomas
Woodnorth, and John Gaunt, be imprisoned in Stafford
Gaol for three calendar months, and the defendant Charles
Pyatt for one calendar month.
IN Re CONIZIT.—IiAIiAI Cowes.

Mr. W. 6obl;ittenineOion;;;VOfhSl7caseorpus some
days ago to complain of soma informality in the docu-
ments by which ho was handed over from the Fleet Prison
to the custoay of the keeper of the Queen's Prison, and of
an insufficient return having been made to the writ of
habeas corpus by the keeper of the Queen's Prison. Time
was then given to enable Mr. Hudson to amend his return.
Mr. Cobbett appeared before the court again to-day, and,
after as address of some length in support of his position,
Lord Campbell mid there we. no ground for the applies.
i tics. Mr. Cobbett's cam had been repeatedly before the
court, and before judges at chambers, and it had been in
every instance determined that he had been duly detained.
lie was of the same opinion, as he did not think Mr. Cob-
bett bad shown any ground for his discharge.
Mr. Cobbett then moved for a rule for a new trial in a
case in which he h►d sued in forma pauperis. After stating
the facts,
Lord Campbell said—There is no ground whatever for
ranting you a rule ; and I must my that since I have had
the bateau of being a judge I have known no privilege so
greatly abused as that of the right to sue in forma pauperis.
Mr. Cobbett—The greatest abuse of justice which has
ever ►een perpetrated has been indicted on me.
Mr. Cobbett, who has now been in the Queen's Prison
since 1540, was again conducted back to that place of con-
finement.

the Earl of ion:Male, published in the Carlisle Journal, of
which the defendant was the proprietor, the Attorney-
General now apologised on the psrt of the defendant, and
expressed his regret that he had been in error in some of
the statements which he had made, imputing to his lordship
I improper motives in the creation of new magietrates for the
county of Cumberland.
Sir F. Thesiger, on the part of Lord Lonsdale, expressed
himself satisfied with the explanation, and consented to the
rule bring discharged, but without costs.
Ride discharged accordingly.
7111. QVIIIN C. CHICHASTRIL
Mr. Crowder, on the part of the Lords of the Admiralty,
prayed judgment against the defendant, who had allowed
judgment to be taken by default against him for impeding
the course of a navigable river. The defendant had re-
ceived notice to attend, but was cot forthcoming, but the
learned coun'el prayed for judgment, that the nuisance
might be abated.
The Court mid that judgment could not be given in a
criminal ease in the absence of the defendant. The Admi-
ralty might proceed against him by outlawry, but the Court
could nut und,rtake to tell the Lords of the Admiralty to
take the law into their own hauds, and to abate the nui-
sance by their own authority.
Judgment postponed.

of rood in High-street, Poplar, actors:inn to the plans and
given in their act, from which it was all, ged that
they bad materially, and to the danger and discomfort of

tended that there was no pound for this rule in fact or law.
He referred to some eases to show that the defendants were

Mr. Pashley and Mr. Hors, wbo were in support of the

FALSI DICLAILATION.

John Simpson, a person of gentlemanly appearance, was
indicted for misdemeanour.
The defendant asked to have his trial postponed, on the
ground that he bad only just been brought to Newgate by
habeas from the Whitecrose-street Prison, and that he had
not had time to prepare his defence.
Mr. Ballantine, who appeared for the prosecution, said
that the defendant had been aware for • considerable time
of the fact of the bill having been found against him, and
notice had been given to him three weeks before of the in-
tention of the prosecutor, that he should be tried at this
session, and he therefore must insist that the trial should
pressed.
The Recorder said that some regulation really must be
enforced with regard to these pcwtponed eases, as otherwise';
a considerable portion of every session would be wasted.
The defendant had had ample opportunity to prepare his
defence, and there was no ground for postponing the trial.
Mr. Ballantine accordingly opened the case for the prose-
, cution. He said that the prisoner was indicted under a
statute of the sth and 6th Wm. IV., by the 18th section of
which it was enacted that if a person made • false declara-
tion with regard to any matters referred to in the act, he
should be deemed guilty of misdemeanour, and be subjected
to the penalties for that description of offence. The learned
counsel then proceed to state the nature of the charge
against the prisoner, and it appeared that in November last
the prisoner applied to Mr. Stafford, a solicitor, in Buck-
ingham-street, Strand, to know whether he could pro-
cure him a loan upon the security of the house,
with furniture, and other property to his residence,
Holly House, New Kent-road. Mr. Stafford, who had
known the prisoner for several years, told him that he
could do so, and he accompanied the prisoner to his house,
where he saw a large quantity of valuable furniture, and
after some negotiation it was arranged that a client of Mr.
Stafford's of the name of Holt should advance 3501. upon
the security of the furniture. Accordingly a deed was pre-
pared, and the prisoner was then required before the money
was advanced to go before a magistrate, and make a solemn
declaration to the effect that the property was his own, and
that he had not created any previous incumbrance upon it.
The prisoner, having made this declaration, received the
amount, less 301., which was retained as a bonus, and it
turned out that the prisoner had executed • bill of sale of
the same property to Messrs. Bullock, tho auctioneers in
August, 1850, as security for 6401., which they advanced to
him, and the whole of the furniture was eventually sold by
those gentlemen under that instrument, when it realised
short of 6001. ; and under these circumstances the present
indictment was preferred against the prisoner for having
made the false declaration, by means of which he had ob-
tained the money from the prosecutor.
Witnesses were called, who proved the facts as they were
stated by the learned counsel. It was admitted that the
property which bad been made the subject of security was
of • valuable description, and had originally cost consider-
' ably more than the whole amount that was advanced upon
it, and that it was sold by the sheriff's authority by • sort
' of forced sale.
The prisoner, in his!defence, denied that he had any In-
tention to defraud the prosecutor. lie said that the furni-
ture in question had been purchased by him, within two
years, for ready money, from some of the first upholsterers
in London, at a cost of 3,0001., and was of the very best
description. He therefore thought he might justly obtain
the amount of money he did upon it in both instances, and
he said that if the property had been fairly sold he had no
doubt it would have realised more than sufficient to pay the
whole sum advanced. It happened. however, unfortunately
that when the sale took place the weather was very wet,
and the consequence was that no persons were present but
those who bought to sell again, and =ay articles which
had east hies 20 or 30 guineas were sold fur three and four
re. With regard to the declaration he admitted that
d signed it, but he asserted that it was never read
over to him, and he believed it was merely a formal state-
ment, to the effect that the furniture upon which he de-
sired to borrow the money was his own property, and had
been paid for.
The Recorder having summed up, end explained to the
jury the legal nature of the charge, they deliberated for a
short time, and then inquired whether if they should be
of opinion, that the prisonereonsidered the property to be of
greater value than it had realised, it would make any dif-
ference In the ease.
The learned judge told them it would not, and even sup-
posing the furniture was of sufficient value to have paid
all the money that had been advanced upon it, it would
be no justification for the prisoner making a false declara-
tion.

The jury then returned a verdict of Guilty.
The Recorder having, in the course of the cue, expressed
• doubt whether the declaration in question came within
the definition in the Actof Parliament. u a necessary legal
instrument which the magistrate had jurisdiction to allow
to be taken, and that he should reserve the point for further
consideration,
Mr. Ballantine said that as there might be somelegal doubt
upon the matter, be thought it right, in order that there
should not be any failure ofjustice, to proceed with another
charge against the prisoner.
lte was accordingly arraignedupon a charge of obtaining
money by false pretences from the prosecutor in the former
case.

Mr. Worley was instructed to watch this case on behalf
of the prisoner.
Tho evidence in this ease was precisely the same as in
the last, the false pretence imputed to the prisoner being
that he knowingly stated falsely, at the time the monay
was borrowed, that his furniture was not encumbered, and
by this means obtained the money from the prosecutor.
Mr. Worsley, on behalf of the prisoner, argued with a
good deal of ingenuity that there was an entire absence of
any evidence to show an intention on the part of the pri-
soner to defraud the prosecutor or any other person in the
transaction. He said it was clear that the furniture was of
a very valuable description, and that it had only a short
time before cost more than 3,0001., and he contended that
the prisoner might therefore very reasonably suppose that
it would realise very considerably over the sums he had bor-
rowed upon it, and that oonsequeutly when he effected the
second mortgage upon it he had no intention of committing
• fraud.

The jury, after consulting a short time, said they were
not likely to agree, as several of them could not see any
evidence to show an intention by the prisoner to defraud,
and they were of opinion that under more favourable cir-
cumstances the property would have produced a much
larger amount.
The Itecorder said that as he had told them in the former
case, the value of the property had nothing to do with the
point they had to decide. The prisoner was charged with
obtaining money by making a false representation that the
furniture was unencumbered, and the only questions for the
jury were, whether ho had made that false representation,
and whether by means of it he had obtained the prosecutor's
money.
The,jary then retired, and after being in deliberation
about half an hour, they retained into mart and gave
verdict of Guilty.
Sentence was deferred.

NEW COURT.-YESTERDAY.
Basoa•r.• CTuion Ilwaurr.

John Tehhutt, 43, horsedeeler, was indicted for stealing a
mire, saddle, and bridle, valued at 61. 10s., the property of
Joseph Nutt.
It appeared that the prosecutor luring bought the mare
in question was leading her home, and on his road stopped
at a public-house in Culeman.street, City. The prisoner,
who was at the door, asked him to let bun hold his horse,
' which be assented te, and entered the house, hut had not
been there above a minute when he heard a galloping, and
on going outside found the mare and prisoner gone. He
raised the cry of Stop thief," and upon reaching London-
wall found the mare and prisoner in the hands of the
police.
City police constable 114 stated that on the evening in
question be was on duty in London-wall, when be saw pri-
soner turn the corner of Coleman-street at so rapid a rats
that the mare fell and threw prisoner with such violence
as to break his leg. The prisoner at the time said that
he had mounted the mare and she ran away with him.
Mr. Robinson adopted the same line of defence, and
elicited from the prosecutor in cruse-examination that his
view of the affair coincided with the statement made by
prisoner.
The jury found him Guilty, and several witnesses having
given him a previous good character, he was sentenced to
four months' imprisonment and hard labour.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.—YESTERDAT.
The sittings of the court for the November sdjonnsed
general session were resumed this morning, at the Guild-
hall, Westminster, before Mr. Witham, Deputy Assistant-
Judge Mr. Turner Mr. Graham, Captain Hensler, and
Mr. Brooking. The calendar contains the names of 62 pri-
warn for trial, of whom 42 are charged with felony, and
10 with misdemeanour.

ALLIOILD ROIBIZAT.—STIIANOI VIRDICT.
Thomas Afeensassa, 23, and Men Madden 20. wentin-
dicted foe stealing die sun of 41. and watch chain, the
monies cf Jams Calmer.

The pressouter's wife, a smart goad-looking young Irish
weans, depend that she was in service, and that her hus-
band bail is oltualAse at Camden-town. On the night of the
9th Wt. dlloy met by appointment, and went to • lodging-
Yemen la the seighbeerhood of Bt. Giles's, and hired •
lodging gte the night, and she having undressed, plated
pashotorbie sablaimad three sovereigns, two half-
nesselipe, mil awe 'lris, seder the pillow. As she
was alma to gat fats bed, the male prisoner, who was
hied atearvant in the Mum, entered the room, and told
her that the bed behuged to a young man lodger, and
salad let tba hay of the mem, but neither she nor her
MAW wen ng to massin if the key were taken
away, sod iseardiagly they put on their clothes and left
the roam, the pe toner having persisted in demanding the
key. Os ruesltug the street she recollected that she bad
left her pocket under the pillow, and at her request her
husband went back to the room for the purpose of getting
it, but he did not succed.
From the evidence of a police constable, and a confession
asadeby the female prisoner before the magistrate, it appeared
that after Connor and his wife left the house, she (prisoner)
found the pocket under the pillow, and gave it to the other
prisoner, who was in the room with her, and he left the
house with it. Mn. Connor gave Madden into custody, and
from what she communicated to the police Macintosh was
taken into custody on the following day. Madden admitted
that she took the pocket, and said she gave it to the other
prisoner, who, however, when called upon for his defence
at Bow-street, positively contradicted her. Madden's eon-
teseies was put in as evidence.
Mr. O'Brien addressed the jury for Macintosh, urging
that, independently of Madden's statement, which could
not legally affect him, there was nothing whatever to im-
plicate him.
Mr. Witham, in summing up, told the jury that what
had bees said by Madden with regard to Macintosh could
not bd received as evidence against him, but was very im-
portant as regarded her.
The jury found both prisoners Not Guilty.
Mr. Witham—Both not guilty! Well, gentlemen, that's
certainly • strange verdict, after the women has confessed
the fact. _ _

The foreman said, at any rate, their verdict would have
been one of acquittal as regarded the man; but they un-
derstood the learned judge to say that they wore nut to
take the confession into consideration at all.

Mr. Witham said he did not say anything of the kind,
but, as the verdict wu recorded, he should not interfere.
The foreman said they thought the prisoner ought to be
acquitted, because the prosecutrix's husband and the land-
lady of the house were not culled.
Mr. Withara—Well, she confessed her guilt. To the
prisoner—A special note will he made of this, and if you
ever came hero again you will moat, certainly be trans-
ported.
