THE E ',PRESS, SATINWILY EVENING, JULY 1, 180.

jumped into the vehicle, end, seising the reins, flogged the
horse violently, and it galloped on. Witness attempted to
stop the horse, and in his effort to do so he was knocked
down, the wheel passed over Ms hat, and he had a narrow
eseape with his life. Another policeman came up, on which
defendant swore that two policemen should not take him,
and he made a desperate resistance until takes to the station
house, where he was locked sp.—The other constable con-
firmed the evidence of the first. Whilst the witnesses gave
their evidence, defendant interrupted them.—Mr. Combs
told him if he did not conduct himself properly, he should be
locked up.—lt was contended for the defence that every
allowance ought to be made for the defendant who
wu naturally excited at finding • man in his bedroom
with his wife.—Mr. Combo said that the policeman
was perfectly justified in taking the defendant into custody
on the charge of the wife. If she had carried on an intrigue
with another man, and wee found in the act of adultery, it
was never the law of this country that she should be
murdered with impunity. The officer had legal custody of
defendant, and he was b nind in duty to use his efforts
to prevent his escape therefrom. It was an evident attempt on
the part of the defendant to run over him with his horse and
cart, and it was fortunate that he had escaped with his life.
He should convict defendant in the extreme penalty of 61.,
or two months' imprisonment —Defendant immediately paid
the penalty.
Two men were then charged with interfering with and
essaultiog the police is the execution of their duty, whilst
amistiag in the above case, and they were committed to the
House of Correction with hard labour for one month each,
without the alternative of releasing themselves by paying
any fine.
AM AMATEUR NIOOIIR.—A young man, an apprentice
to a jeweller in Clerkenwell, was charged with Reg-
, Meting his work. The prisoner had served six years
1 his time, but his propensity for conclrts, and j Ming in
" darkey " or " nigger " melodies was so transeem ant, that
be was out every night until twelve o'clock, and would be off
main at nine iii the morning, leaving his work unfinished.
His conduct was molt impudent and refractory, and he was I
frequently under the influence of lieunr, with I is race black,
"a la Jim Crow," and the rattling with his toe and heel,
dancing to the tunes of Lucy Neal," " Walk along John,"
were a continual enflames to the house and neighboar-
hood.—Mr. Comhe committed him to the House of Correction
for one month, which caused the prisoner to look blacker than
ever; and he was told he would be liable to wore severe
punishment if he neglected his work in future after the term
of his imprisonment expired.
WORSHIP-STREET —Tax MeRDZILIN Sr ITALFIRLIEL
—G. Hart, who stood charged upon his own confession with
having been implicated in the murder of the child Henry
Lazarus, was further examined.—Sergeant Saunders stated
that several witnesses were in attendance who would be able
to disclose various particulars respecting the previous halite
and character of the prisoner, whose real name appeared to
be Thomas Evans, and whose occupaiion was that of a com-
positor, and not a French polisher as he had represented it
to he.—Elizabeth Nicholson stated that the prisoner had
lodged in her house for nearly twelvemonths prior to the sth
inst., when he suddenly left, being in her debt at the time to
the amount of 61 or 71. He had been some time out of em-
ployment, and she bad frequently noticed that his manner
ep?esred manes and bewildered, which led her to infer
that he war not in a sound state of mind. Ile was always
very quiet and regular in his habits, and she had never
knows, him by any other name than that of Thomas Evans.
—Elizabeth Hodges, the proprietress of a small printing
establishment in Dudley-street, Seven-dials, proved that
about six weeks since the prisoner applied to her for work
in the name of George Wilson, and she agreed to employ
him as • compositor and pre emar, in which capacity he re-
mained in her service until last Friday week, when heabruptly
lelt without previous notice. During the period of his
service ho was subject to repeated fits of gloomy abstrevion,
and appeared altogetber in a very nervous and depressed
condition —Mr. John Sharpe, a printer in Kent-street,
Southwark, stated that he bad known the prisoner, whose
name was Thomas Evans, fur about ten years, and from
the wayward conduct and sullen and vindictive temper he
had repeatedly displayed he had arrived at the conclusion
that he was at times decidedly insane. The witness
added that he only knew one ms, of the aame of
George Hart, and he consid, red him a well disposed
acd respectable person.—An anonymous letter bearing the
initials J. J.", wbich h.d been received by the police
shortly before the surrender of the accused, and in which a
young man named George Hart was denounced as the mur-
derer of the deceased child, was here handed to the witness,
who pronounced it to the best of his belief to be in the
handwriting of the prisoner.—On being asked if he wished
to offer any observation on the subject of the letter, the pri-
*Goer answered in • firm tone, I admit it was written by
me."—W. Evans, brother to tie prisoner, stated that he had
occupied the same spartmer t with the latter in the house of
Mrs. Nicholson at the time of the murder, and for a eon-
siderable period prior thereto, and could corfi.lentiv state
that he Ism not been lOW nt from home a single night since
Christrau last.—Mr. Arnold said that alter the evidence now
brought forward ho had no objection to accept boil for the
prisoner, and should order him to put in two substantial
sureties in 501. each fur his appearance on that day week.
WESTMINSTER.—EXPELLINO SPECIAL CONATABLES
MOM BENEVIT Clay, painter and
glazier, at 32, Exeter-street, Sloane.street, solicited the
magistrate's advice under the following circumstances. Ap-
plicant stated that he had been for many years a member
Otte St. James's Philanthropic ticnefit Society for Painters
sad Glaziers, held at the Unicorn, Jermyn-street, St.
James's, and having, at the time of the late apprehended
disturbances, been sworn in as a special constable, the
society hod in consequence declared that he could no longer
be a member, and of course would not be entitled to the
benefits fin which he had many years subecrihed. The first
intimation he received from the society of an unfavourable
character was a letter dated the 22.nd of May, informing
him that be wu charged with• breach of the Oth article of the
rub a, by having" voluntarily entered her Majesty's service,"
and informing him that if ne had anything to urge he might do
so. He attended at the appointed time and declared teat he
had not violated the rule, but the society held that he had.
He subsequently, at the period of paying the accustomed
monthly dues, sent his subscription, but they refused to re-
ceive it. Applicant, at the request of Mr. Burrell, handed
him the rules of the society, from which the worthy magis-
trate read the following clause of rule 9 Should any
member be drawn or impressed into her Majesty's service
he shall be exempt from all benefit during the time he re.
males in such service ; but should he be discharged
within seven years, sound in body and limbs, he shall,
on application, be entered in his former situation on
the books, upon payment of all arrears during the
time he was forced into such service ; but should
. .

any member voluntarily enter her Majesty's service, or enter
the eolice force, he should be immediately excluded."--
Mr. Burrell said it was his opinion that hie having been
sworn in so a special constable did not esplude him from the
society under the rule be had just read. He had not entered
the pace force it was quite clear, nor could he be deemed
to have entered her Majesty's service within the intent and
meaning of that rule.—On the magistrate inquiring the re-
medy of a party aggrieved by any decision come to in the
society, applicant pointed out a clause giving an appeal by
arbitration, which is final.—Mr. Burrell repeated that it was
his opinion that tht society were not justified in excluding
him, and recommended him logo to arbitration immediately.
—We understand that this is not an isolated complaint of the
same description.
WANDS WORTH.—ASISAULT AND ROBHIRY AT Till
WANDSWORTH UNION.—C. Beard, IV. Davis, P. Collins,
and J. J"nes, were charged with plundering Patrick
Brasier of 10s. in the casual ward of the Wands-
worth Union. On Thursday night the compLainent
was admitted as a casual pauper, and was domiciled iu a room
with about forty other men and boys. At the time of his
admission he had seven shillings and six sixpences in an old
rag, and concealed in his right breast coat pocket, and which
money he alleged bad been subscribed by his countrymen to
enable him to go ti Ireland. At about 4 o'clock that
morning he was awoke by the prieoner Beard, who
was tumbling at his trousers pocket; Beard went away,
and he missed a halfpenny; Beard then spoke to some
of the other boys, said the complainant had several half-
crowns end shiilings, and five or six of the lads sur-
rounded him and pulled him about and tore his clothes.
He got away tram them that time, but Beard inciting them and
others, about 20 lads collected round him, threw him down,
wrapped a rug round his head, so that he was almost stilted,
and between them they got his money, which he afterwards
saw them divide. lie went to the door and shouted
" Murder," and after a considerable time had elapsed the
porter came, to whom he comp:ained of being robbed. He
could only identify Beard and Davis. —A. Smith end
G. Glossop, two casual paupers, proved that Beard was
the ringleader. Davis smothered the complainant, and &fur-
-1 wards cut away the pocket, and, having counted the money,
gave Jones • shilling and Collins a shilling. Jones said,
" It servos the man right for deceiving and bringing his
country into disgrace." Collins shoved the complainant
away from the door when he was knocking at it.—Sergeant
1 Daley that morning took the prisoners into custody. He
searched them and about 20 others, but found no money on
I any of them. The prisoners had ample opportunity of Iget.
I ring rid of the money. The prisoners Beard and Davis
I made no defence, and Jones and Collins said they had
none of the money.—The prisoners were committed for trial.

MONEY MARKET.

FRIDAY EVENDIG._

Money was rather more in request to-day both in
and out of the Stock Exchange, bat not to any extent
which under circumstances could interfere with the
course or progress of public securities. The funds
were all higher to-day. Consols ruled at 84 to, for
the opening all day until the close, when they left off
at the slightest backwardetion of 831, t, 41, which
might be owing to the usual disinclination of jobbers
to remain with accounts open at the slight higher
rates before current till Monday. Independently
of the easiness of money, and the low rates
at which it is obtainable on public secu-
rities, it may be observed that the payment
of dividends, now close at hand, always exercises a
certain influence on prices. It is well known that a
considerable proportion of the dividends received must
absolutely be reinvested in stocks, such as those re-
ceivable for the Courts of Chancery, Bankruptcy, and
for many public coospanies, to say nothing of the mass
to be so put out for trusts, executorship, banks, and
individuals. It is in the interest of stock trading
capitalists to be prepared for this periodical demand,
just as wholesale tradesmen pteparc and lay in stocks
of goods for the seasons when retailers have to make
their purchases according to consumption or fashion.
Funded values are perehased more freely, and held
more firmly, therefore, just Were the prnent of

dividends than afterwards, ivasmuch as then a more
than ordinary demand for them arises, by which
higher prices and profits may be realised, barring the
intervention of extraordinary and very unusual
casualties. Reduced Threes were 841 to 1. Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents., 841 to 5. Long Annuities, 81
to 11-16. Exchequer Bills, 38s. to 41s. premium.
India Bonds, 16s. to 206. premium. Bank Stock,
189 to 191.
A slight improvement in Mexican bonds may be
noticed ; otherwise the dealings in foreign stocks
were of little consideration, although rather more I
active in petto than of late. Mexican were quoted at
161 to 17. Brazilian, 64 to 6. Spanish Fives lower
at 111 to t ; the Threes, 22 to 1 ; Passive, 21 to 3.
Portuguese, 151 to 161. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents., 43 to 4 ; the Fours, 64 to 6. Russian, 90 to 2.
Danish, 63 to 8.
In foreign exchange the only particularity worthy of
notice was a rise on Paris. Bills, at short, on that place
were negotiated at 25.50 to 55, therefore in favour of
the buyer. On Amsterdam the negotiations were
12.3 to 1; on Rotterdam, 12.31 to 1 ; on Hamburg,
13.121 to 1; on Frankfort, 1211 to 122; on Leg-
horn, 31.50 to 70; on Madrid, 40; on Cadiz, 461
to 7—all at 3 months. On Lisbon, at 60 days, 51.
On other leading places no quotations were made
under present political circumstances.
The returns of the Bank of England for the
week ending the 24th inst. give, as compared with
those of the week preceding, the following results:

The notes in reserve stood at 10,007,0301., showing
a further increase of unemployed funds in the Bulk
of 132,2801.
It has bten known for some time past that the
revenue was showing a more satisfactory progress,
and, therefore, the large increase in public deposits
was anticipated. According to report, that increase
bears most on the excise, which would be a more satis-
factory feature still. From the augmentation of go-
vernment securities in the banking department it is
evident that the Bunk had either purchased, or had
advanced on loans on such securities. The reserve of
notes in the banking department had attained to a
large figure, representing so much unemployed capital.
It is understood, however, that to-day there was a
demand at the Bank for more discouuts, if not loans,
and that consequently some portion of the Bank re-
serve would be let out.

ment of losses and this dividend, of 300,0001.
