EXTRAORDINARY SCENE IN A CHURCH.

EXPULSION OF A MINISTER IN FULL
CANONICALS.

On Sunday last the village of Iteveaby, in Lin-
colnshire (situate nearly midway between Boston and Horn-
castle), was thrown into commotion by an extraordinary
scene in the church, being nothing less than the forcible
expulsion of the minister while reading the service. Revesby
was originally a monastery, and at the dissolution of those
establishments the possessions end chapeiry were awarded
to Charles Branden, Duke of Siitthlk, from whose family it
eventually passed to that of the Earls of Exeter, and
in later times to the family of Sir Jos. Banks. Mr.
Banks Stanhope in now the lord of the manor,
and he claims the church as his own private
chapel, and asserts that the parishioners are admitted
into it for divine worship only by his permission, and that
the curate is merely his chaplain. The Rev. Andrew Vciteb
was appointed (16 or 17 years since) to the curacy, during
the minority of the present lord of the manor, and has dis-
charged the duties ever since till Sunday last. In conse-
quence of a misunderstanding between Mr. Stanhope and
Mr. Veitch, the former, some time ago, gave notice to the
latter that he should supers:de him in his curacy.
and appoint another gentleman in his place. Mr.
Veiteh disputed the power and the right to do so, and
kept on his ministrations; hut last week a new curate (Rev.
C. Bowan) was introduced into the village, and nu Sittur-
day night last, in order that he should get possession of the
chinch on Sunday, a guard was placed around the edifice,
and all intruders ware kept at a distance. On Sunday
morning, sonic time before the service hour, Mr.
V eitch presented himself at the doors, but was re-
fused admittance. Ile waited till the bells rang for the service,
when he entered with the congregation (he being dressed
in lull canonicals), and proceeded towards the reading-desk.
That and the pulpit WPM plartitd, 11.. was also the com-
munion-table. Mr. Veiteh then took his plate on the steps
of the altar; and when the bells haul ceased ringing, he
commenced the service. At the same time Mr. Bowan began
to read the service from the reading-desk, and each was
reading at the same time. One of the churchwardens ap-
proached Mr. Veitth, and told him to desist; but he con-
tinued the service; upon which the churchwarden told him
that if he proceeded to disturb the congregation he should
remove him by force. Mr. Vein* still continued his
reading, whereupon he was pushed or the steps, and forced
along the aisle tic the church doors, he continuing to read
the service until he was ejected from the edifice. This dis-
graceful scene, as may he supposed, caused the utmost ex-
citement among the congregation. In the aftentoon a large
crowd assembled, expecting a repetition of the scene at the
' evening service, but r. Veitch did not appear, and there
was no further service. It is expected the affair will lead
to litigation, as well as interference on the part of the bishop.

THE WINDOW TAX.-.At the quarterly meeting of
the Bath Town Council yesterday a motion was carried to
the effect that the town clerk be instructed to draw up a
petition to parliament, praying for a total and immediate
repeal of the obnoxious window duties, and also that the
city seal should be affixed to it, and, when signed by the
mayor on behalf of the corporation, that it should be sent
to the city members for presentation.
EMIGRATION OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS.—The ship
Ellen, Phillips, master, wan driven during the late gales
into St. Tudwell's roads, having, off Holyhead, in col-
lision with a schooner, remised some damage. She was
bound to New Orleans, and had on board no fewer than
460 emigrants, all of them Mormonites, on their way to
the Mormon settlement in the valley of the Great Salt
Lake. These voluntary exiles are front all parts of Eng-
land, fifteen families being from Sheffield. After leaving
New Orleans the emigrants proceed up the river as far as
900 miles north of St. Louis, after winch they journey 1,000
miles to their settlement, across an almost desert country.
The tide of emigration of Mormonites from Liverpool is very
strong, nearly 000 more being ready to take kareof thetr
native country. Mr. Pratt, the head of the sect, is also
about to leave for the new settlement ; and hundreds of
persons are preparing to leave the neighbourhood of Aber-
dare, Glamorganshire, in the course of the spring.
A KNOWING Fox.--A very :tear accident hap-
pened in the course of last '1 hu y's run. The fox,
after dodging for some time about the covers between
Banstead and Chipstead took to the open country, and made
for the railway,wherc a steep chalk cutting, about 50 feet in
depth, and quite perpendicular, is crossed by a bridge. The
road at this spot runs parallel with the line, and is separated
from it by an embankment about 10 feet high. The hounds
were about live minutes behind the tin, but they were well
on the scent, and the pace was pretty good. They crossed
the road, ran up the embankment, mad the first seven
couple sprang clean down the cutting on to the rails.
Eleven of them were killed on tha spot, and the other three
have either died since or been destroyed. The two whips,

man or to most of the hunt, for within half a minute after
the cheek came to at the roil, a " view halloo" was raised
behind, and the remainder of the pack, comprising 15
couples, were laid on to the second fox, and the field of
course followed. It is not believed that the fox went down
the cutting, but that knowing the place he ran some way
along the edge behind the embankment, and then doubled
back. The loss to the kennel is very severe at this season
of the year especially as the hounds that were killed were
of course the most dashing of that day's sport.—Essex

ST. BARTHOLOMEW'S MEDICINE CHEST.—Between
two and three hundred pounds are spent every year for
strong sound port wine for the sick poor in Bartholomew's
Hospital. It is bought in pipes, and drawn off as needed.
Nearly two thousand pounds weight of castor oil, two
hundred gallons of spirits of wine, at seventeen shillings
a gallon; twelve tons of linseed meal; a thousand pounds
weight of senna ; and twenty-seven hundredweight of
salts, are items in the annual account for drugs. The
grand total spent upon physic in a twelvemonth is two
thousand six hundred pounds. Five thousand yards of
calico are wanted fur rotten, for bandaging; to say
nothing of the stouter and stiffer fabric used fur plasters
More than half a hundredweight of sarsaparilla is used
every week—a sign how much the constitution of the
patients requires Improvement. In a year twenty-
nine thousand seven hundred leeches were bought
for the use of the establishment—an invasion of fo-
reigners without parallel, till we have the influx of the Great
Exhibition—for the leeches brought to bite and die in this
London Hospital are gathered in France and Poland, in
Africa and Spain. A ton and a half of treacle is annu
used to make some kinds of syrup ; the five casks of hi
which, mixed with a cask of sugar, makes linctus for mug .
has been already mentioned ; hut one little fact, in addi-
tion, respecting it, should not pass unnoticed. This prepa-
ration for coughs is red in colour, and looks fruity, and
and tastes somewhat sweet, having still, however, an acid
dash. As winter comes the coughs increase, and the de-
mand upon the stock of linctus becomes heavier and hea-
vier. This is expected and provided for ; but one season
it had been larger even than usual. The same children and
the same women came again and again, most perseveringly;
when, in consequence of some inquiries, it was found that
one of the most urgent claimants for the favourite Omit
lived by selling little sweets and p
street near Smithfield, and that
linctus to make fruit tarts -

OLD COURT.—YESIZSDAT.
SENTENCE OF MR. AND MRS. SLOANE.
When yesterday's paper went to press the sentence in the
above ease (which appeared in a second edition of the
Express of last evening) had not been passed.
At a later period of the day the defendants were brought
up for judgment.
Mr. Justice Coleridge addressed them in the following
terms :—George Sloane and Theresa Sloane, you have
pleaded guilty to several counts of an indictment which
charged you with having, in various ways, and upon
various occasions, assaulted and ill-treated • girl,
name Jane Wilbred, who was a servant in your em-
ploy. We have read with great care the deposi-
tions that were taken in your presence, before the
magistrate, and we did not think it advisable to
grant the application made by_ your counsel that you
should be permitted to put in affidavits in answer to them
and in mitigation, partly from the circumstance mentioned
by him, namely, your poverty, and a desire therefore to
avoid putting you to an unnecessary expense, and partly
because there are certain facts and certain statements in
those depositions which seem to speak for themselves and to
defy contradiction. It seems that this young person—almost,
a child—an orphan, with no natural protector, came into
your service, and it would seem that she was *elected
partly from the circumstance of her being an orphan,
and having apparently a better constitution than some of
the other girls, and therefore more likely to do you good
service in the capacity in which you engaged her. For
come time it appears that there was no reason for complaint
on her part, but at length your course of treatment towards
her appear* to have entirely changed. Taking into consi-
deration, however, the age of the girl and her opportunities
of obtaining redress, the court does not consider that you
are legally responsible upon that portion of the indictment,
and your punishment will not be increased on account
of it, hut, at the same time, there is very little
doubt that your conduct towards this poor girl has
been most cruel in withholding from her proper
Christian food. I say this because you know that
the indictment not only charges you with with-
, holding proper food, but also with forcing upon her
matter at which nature revolts, and which I will nut offend
the ears of the court by further alluding to, it will be sedli-
cient to say that you are charged with having forced upon
her that which was nauseous, unwholesome, disgusting, and
unnatural. One would have thought that the situation
of
that poor girl when she came into your service would have
demanded especial protection at your hands, and that while
she conducted herself well you would have assumed
the position of her natural guardians. It is impos-
sible wit to take into consideration the position of the
parties charged with such an offence. One of you,
a gentleman devoted to the study and practice of
the law, who must be taken to he thoroughly well versed in
a matter so simple as this, and who must have known what
was his duty. The other, I regret to say, a female and a
wife—one who, it might have been thought, would have
been the first to protect a young helpless girl who was
placed in her power, but who, I regret to say, appears by
the depositions to have taken an equal if not a greater part
in all the indignities that were practised. When, after
several months had elapsed, the condition of this unfortu-
nate young girl became known through the kind and hu- '
mane interference of a gentleman connected with your'
own profession, what was her condition ? Emaciated,
almost at the point of death, and so desperate her con-
dition that she could not even be nut back to
the union workhouse, but the only place she could be
sent to was a hospital. The extreme state of emaciation to
which she was reduced was evinced by the almost incredible
reduction in her weight, and the cause of that emaciation ap-
peared to be also clearly ahewn by the circumstance that
the odministration of proper wholesome food speedily
restored her to health and to her original bulk. It oho
appears by the depositions that, upon the person of this
unfortunate girl being examined, marks of violence, some
of resent and some of older date, were discovered—those
marks of violence extending all over her person, and
evidently 'thew iug that she had been subjected to a long and
severe course of illtreatmeut. I do not state these circum-
stances with any view of giving unnecessary pain. I trust
that reflection has already caused you more pain than any
remarks or punishment the court can inflict. I have
thought fit to make them, because it Is quite right that the
public should know that in every ease, where it is aatis-
factorily shown that a master or mistress has acted with
cru..lty tewartle e servant, that the court is determined to
institute a strict inquiry into all the circumstances, and to
award severe punishment. It now only remains for me to
pass upon you the sentence which has been decided upon
for your offence, which is that you be severally imprisoned
for two years.
The defendants heard the sentence without betraying any
emotion, and at the clew of the learned judge's address
they retired hastily from the dock.

.mull packages being put together made one large partA,
whieh a aa carried bythe railways eheaper than if they were

for the carriage than the railway companies 'lid. On the
26th Juiy, lBiO, a large parcel was sent to the Waterloo-
road station of the South Western Railway. The parcel
was directed to a Mr. Holloway, at Southampton. The
parcel was directed to the can• of Nicole.. Smith and Dawes,
of Southampton. On the arrival of this large parcel at
Southampton, which hail been sent from Mr. Crouch**

that the panel containing the watches, which was directed
to a Mr. Lkurthaure, had been opened, and the watches ab-
stracted.
Evidence was then called on behalf of the plaintiff, to
prove the *hose stated facto.
Mr. boil', lor the defence, contended that if the parcel
had hoc!' opt toll at all, it was not, as it had been alleged,

The ecuse was triad about two years ago, before Lord
Truro, when his lordship held that the question of reason.
able and probable catioe of suspicion was a matter of fact
for the jury, and a visreliet was given for the plaintiff; but
the full court subsequently granted a new trial, upon the
ground that it was u qui 'test of law on which the judge
ought to have directed the jury.
It appeared that the defendant is a partner in the house
of l'ickford and Cu., and the plaintiff was formerly a coach-
man in the employment of his father, who resided at Whet-
none. Early in the rear 1848 the plaintiff was discharged
for drutakeimess, he tioviiiu tilled his situation for six years
previously. the the 6th of Marelt, 1848, the family dined,
as usual, at 7 o'clock : and after the removal of the cloth,
the plate •as deposited in the pantry, where it was seen at
half-past it o'clock, but between that time and 9 o'clock it
was steles. Suspicion fulling on the plaintiff he was
arrested gm the attemoon of Wednesday, the Bth March, at
his lodgings in 61one...stir-place, l'ortman-square, and taken
to Whetstone. No magistrate could, however, be bland to
take the charge, and the plaintiff was kept in custody until
the next morning, when he was examined and discharged.
Witnewsia acre called on behalf of the defendant to prove
cireumstances of strong suspirion. It was shown
that plaintiff was seen about ti o'clock in the evening in
question at the Torrington Arms, near Whetstone; that
when he b•ft there lie went towards Mr. Basenduk's,

to an action to recover c ills from the plaintiff in error, the
defendant below. The tompany was incorporated on the

SOUTHWARK.
SHORT WrIGIIT IN COALB.—Yesterday, Mr. Singer, of
the firm of Singer and Company, extensive coal merchants
at Bermondsey Wall, was summoned to answer the charge
of selling a quantity of coals to Mr. Snout a furrier in
Rederows-street, Southwark, deficient of the required weight,
also with being without weights according to the act of par-
liament relating to the delivery of coals.
Mr. Sinnet said that on Thursday, the 30th ultimo, a
waggon load of coals was brought to his factory from the
del, udant's wharf, when he inquired of the carman whc-
ther he had his machine and weights ready, as he had his
suspicion respecting the weight of the coals. The carman
told hint that the machine was out of order and he had no
weights. \Vitae:ss accordingly went to a neighbour and
borrowed scales, and weights ; and on weighing nineteen
Packs he found 116th. deficient. Fearing that such a sys-
tem had been carried on by the defendants he thought that,
in jo,tioc to himself and the public, he ought to prosecute
the defendants to prevent them from defrauding others in a
similar way.
Mr. iißeekett asked defendant what answer he bad to
make to the charge ?
Mr. Singer—l certainly own that lam guilty so far as
concerns the weighing machine and weights ; but the car-
man ought to have looked to them, and I object to Mr.
Sinneen evidence respecting the weights he used. I don't
think they were legal.
Mr. Sinnet—l borrowed them from a wholesale grocer
of great respectability, and I am positive the weights were
genuine.
Mr. a'Beekett informed the defendant that he must have
been aware that he was compelled to have projxr settles and
weights with the coals.
Mr. Singer—l am not sufficiently acquainted with the
act of parliament. However, I believe the coals were good
weight when they left my place.
Mr. a'Beckett—You ought to understand the law before
you deliver coals, that would have prevented you from
break ng the law. (To the complainant)—You ought to
have gone to the police station and requested their scales
and weights. The act of parliament states that such shall
be kept in readiness at all station-houses.
Mr. Sinnet—l went to the police station at the rear of
the court and asked for them, but I was told by the acting
inspector that they were out of order.
Mr. h'lleckett-Did any constable go with you?
Mr. Sinnet—Yes, sir. Constable 31 went and saw the
coals weighed.
Mr. alkek, tt—The act of parliament requires scales and
weights to be kept properly adjusted at the station-house,
and the authorities were under a penalty if the overseers
thought proper to prefer a complaint. The defendant has,
however, pleaded guilty to the offence, and I am empowered
to inflict a penalty of 201. Since the alteration of the law
which did not allow any moiety to the informer, such MICR
were seldom brought before the public ; I ant, however,
glad to sec private individuals do so, as the public might be
defrauded to a considerable extent by coal dealers. I shall
fine the defendant 101.
After some little demur, the fine was paid.
if. Liclejidd. a carman, of Jacob-street, Bermondsey, was
next charged with delivering coals in one of his waggons
without being furnished with the requisite scalds and
weights.
This case was the same as the other, only the defendant
was the carter employed by Mr. Singer. Ile acknowledged
that he was guilty, hut he thought the scales and weights
were in proper order when they left his place. On the
return of the waggon he found the scales broken and no
weights with it.
Mr. ii Beckett—You are liable to a penalty of 10/., but
as this is the same transaction Isbell fine you the mitigated
penalty of 10s.
The fine was immediately paid.

A CAD exorcists AND 140111110.
Francis Moryan, a young man, who appeared by his
dress to be a van-driver, was indicted fur stealing a hos,
value 55., the property of Charles Fisher, from the person
of Eliza Fisher. Mr. O'Brien appeared for the prisoner.
At about half-past one o'clock on the morning of the 23rd
of last month the wife of the prosecutor, who carries on the
business of an artificial flower manufacturer, was returning
home in a cab, accompanied by a female friend,
with whom she had been paying a visit, in the Lon-
don-road. She lived in Britannia-terrace, City-road,
and on the cabman turning down a wrong street in
the Citrrood, she pulled the cheek-string, and told him he
was going in the wrong direction, and informed him which
was the right one, upon which he turned his horse's head,
and proceeded to drive as she had directed. Immediately
afterwards a hat was thrown through one of the windows
of the vehicle, and the next moment the prisoner opened'.
the door on the opposite side, leaped into the cab, and seiz-
ing Mrs. Fisher's boa, he dragged it with great force from
her neck, and then endeavoured to mope. Mrs. Fisher
screamed lustily, whilst her friend called " Police," and, on
an officer coming up, the prisoner, who pretended to know
nothing of the matter, was given into custody, and was
conveyed by the officer in the cab to the station-house. The
cabman stopped immediately Mrs, Fisher cried out, and the
prisoner did not succeed in effectually securing the boa. He
was positively sworn to by Mrs. Fisher and her friend.
The jury found him Guilty, and being recommended to
mercy by the prosecutor's wife, on the ground that his
father was a respectable man, the court sentenced him to
six months' hard labour, intimating that but for the recom-
mendation it would have been more severe.
ROBBEKY—ADULTrILY—PERJCIIT.
John Jacques, described as of 17 years of age, but look-
ing much younger, was indicted for stealing a handker-
chief front the person of James Sylarry Sharp.
The case was clearly proved by the evidence of the proae-
entor and that of another witness. The offence was com-
mitted one day, and the prisoner was apprehended the day
afterwards.
The prisoner said he could prove that he was at home at
the time the robbery was committed, and culled into the
witness-box a girl, who certainly was not more than sixteen
years of age, and who bad an infant in her arms.
The Court.—What are you ?
Witnists.— I'm his girl (pointing to the prisoner).
The Court.—Do you mean that you live with lure?
Witness—Yes I do—l cohabit with him.
The Court. —.And is that his child ?
Witness.—Yes, it is. She then proceeded to depose that
the prisoner was at home with her at the time the robbery
was committed.
The Jury found the prisoner Guilty.
The learned Judge said it was shocking in the extreme
to see such deliberate perjury committed by the girl the
prisoner had called, who, young as she was, appeared to be
associated under most disgraceful circumstances with the
prisoner, who himself was quite a boy.
The officers said the prisoner was well known at the
prisons.
lie was sentenced to nine months' bard labour.
COMMITTAL OP A WITNENS.
On Tuesday, a boy named Martin was convicted of steal-
ing two shawls the property of Thomas Pybus Smith.
The prisoner belonged to a gang of young thieves infest-
ing the bye-streets in the neighbourhood of 'Tottenham-
' court-road, and it was proved that he stole the shawls in
question from a linendraper's shop door at the corner of
Tottenham-court-road. Ile had been in prison
before several times, and he now stated that he had a father
living, who was a carpenter.
A man named Dyer came forward, and upon oath gave
the boy a good character. Mc said the boy had no father
living.
The prisoner's mother said he had a step-father.
Dyer, after much hesitation and fencing with the ques-
tions, admitted that he was aware that the boy had been in
prison for thefts, and that he' (Dyer) was living in cohabita-
tion with the boy's mother, though at first he led the court
to suppose that he came forward as an independent
witness.
The Court ordered him into custody, and he was removed
to the House of Correction, Coldbath-fields.
This morning he was placed at the bar, and
The learned Judge said he certainly felt greatly inclined
to order him to be prosecuted for perjury, as it was a very
serious offence to endeavour to pass off a known delinquent
as an honest person. After severely admonishing him, the
learned judge directed him to he discharged.
The prisoner was sentenced to six months' hard labour.

NEW COURT.—YESTERDAY.
Folli Taa RIMMLI•Iis.
TIIR ROBBERY IN CORNHILL.
Joseph Bassett, 42, watchmaker, pleaded guilty to stealing
• quantity of musical boxes and clocks, valued ut 1001., the
property of Joseph Savory, his matter.
Mr. Clarkson prosecuted, and said that the prosecutors
in the case are the well-known firm of silversmiths and
dealers in fancy goods in Cornhill, and the prisoner wits
in their employment, and had been for some years, having
the management of the musical box and clock department.
On the 11th of last December they took stock, the prisoner
calling over the goods, which they supposed to be correct.
Subsequently he left their service, and by a mere accident
the prisoners robberies were discovered. It was this : a
package in paper, supposed to be a musical box, fell
down, and, upon its being opened, was found to be a
wooden block. This led them to inspect their stuck, and
they then found that a great number of packages which
p.i..oner had passed over as stock had had the boxes re-
moved and blocks of wood put in their place. It was then
found that prisoner had been systematically robbing them,
and had employed a man to make him the blocks. The
prisoner's salary was 1/. Ss. a week, partial board, and a
commisdon on what he sold. •
The Recorder, in passing sentence, said that although the
prisoner had in some way atoned for his offence by pleading
guilty, still the crime was one of so dangerous a character
to the commercial interests of the trading community that
the court would not be doing its duty if it did not pass a
severe sentence. The prisoner had handed him up a peti-
tion urging in mitigation his poverty, arising out of the ill-
ness of his wife, but, looking at the circumstances of the
salary the prosecutors paid him, the time he had been in
their employment, and the confidence reposed in him, the
court could nut safely listen to his appeal for merry. Ile
was then sentenced to seven years' transportation.
Tun FORGERY AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE.
. . .

John aison, a respectable-looking young man, not
described in the calendar, was indicted for forging, and
uttering an order for the payment of money, with intent to
defraud Messrs. Foic and Henderson, the contractors for the
erection of the glass palace. Mr. Bodkin prosecuted, and
Mr. Parnell defended.
The evidence adduced went to prove that the prisoner
had been unc of the time clerks in the department of car-
penters at the Crystal Palace,'and it was his duty to return
a written list of the time worked by each man, which, be-
ing calculated by the clerks, the amount was marked for
payment, and placed in a box allotted to the number
each man bore, and given to each man at the end of
the week ; but if a man was discharged before the week
had expired his work was calculated up to that time,
and he was at once paid. The prisoner, being aware of
this fart, had availed himself of the knowledge, and
obtained the sum of 14s. 7d. by presenting a time ticket for
that amount as from a man named Lovell, whom, he al-
leged, had been discharged, and, there being no suspicion,
he was at once paid ; but at the end of the week Lovell,
who had not left the works, applied for his wages, when
the fraud was discovered, the prisoner having by that time
quitted his employment.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty.
It was proved that, en 1849, prisoner had been convicted
at this court of a burglary and imprisoned for one year.
The prisoner begged for mercy on account of his wife.
The Recorder said the offence of which he had been pre-
viously convicted was a most serious one. Since his incar-
ceration he had an opportunity of retrieving his character,
but be had not clone so, and was now convicted of a very
bad offence ; and he should order him to be transported for
seven years.

CIIAIOI OP OTIALINO 1110KVA VICTUALS.
Asps Prestos, smolt respectable looking elderly woman,was
indicted for stealing Sibs. weight of bread, 2 or. of cheese,
11 oz. of mutton, and 3 lbs. of artichokes, the property of
Henry Dixon ; and Mary Redcap, a decent, but very poor
looking woman, with an infant in her arms, was indicted
for having received the same, knowing them to have been
stolen. Mr. Robinson prosecuted, and Mr. Woollett de-
fended.
Police constable 322 V stated that on the 10th of Janu-
ary he was set to watch the side entrance of the prosecutor's
residence. Forgone, Rouse. Twickenham, and about eight
in the evening be saw Rednap go into the house, having
with her a basket ; and in about a quarter of an hour
she come oat again, and be then asked her what
I she had got in it. She said a bit of bread and
1 cheese. Witness looked and found some mutton, bread, a
tifve of cheese, and some artichokes. She said a Mies
Litton, the prisoner's sister, who was on a visit, had given
!them to her. Witnees said she must go back with him ; and
she then said she might as well tell the truth. The cook,
Mrs. Preston. had given them to her for her supper.
The articles were now produced in court, and consisted of
the broken half of a 21h. loaf, about a fourth part of another,
and a few broken pteen, all very mouldy, a small piece of
cheese, some sad very withered potatoes and arti-
chokes, two or three scraps of mutton fat, and the bone of a
leg of mutton, with a small portion of meat about the
knuckle.

THE POLICE COUBTS.
GUILDHALL,

BIITINO A PIANOFORTE.—Mr. George Ratcliffe, an ,I
auctioneer, of Mcwgate-street, appeared before Alderman
Hunter to answer a summons charging him with selling to'
Mrs. Louisa Hill a pianoforte for 271., representing it in the
first instance as the manufacture of Collard and Collard, of
Cheapaide, and afterwards as that of one of their foremen
of the name of Bateman.
Mr. H. Harrison, the solicitor to the Metropolitan Insti-
tute for the Protection of Trade, conducted the prosecution
at the instance of Messrs. Collard and Collard ; and Mr.
Hughes, a barrister, appeared for the defendant.
Mr. Harrison stated that Mrs. Hill was induced to enter
defendant's auction-rooms in consequence of placards dis-
played outside, and that while there she bid for a variety of
articles, on which she paid a deposit. She then, on the re-
presentation that • piano that was for sale came from the
workshop of Messrs. Collard and Collard, hid for it, and
concluded the purchase on the condition that if her daugh-
ter, who was a better judge than herself of musical in-
struments, did not approve of it, she should not
be required to take it away, and that the bar-
gain would be rendered null and void. It, however,
appeared on a re-examination of the instrument that it was
not the make of Collard and Collard, and on complainant
telling defendant so, he replied that it was made by a fore-
man of theirs, and was equal to any of their 50 guinea
pianofortes. Complainant brought her daughter to try it,
and they both disapproved of the instrument, and told de-
fendant they declined to take it away. lie said he would
insist upon complainant having it, and made out a hill for
that and the other articles, which Mrs. Hill had paid 61. for,
and he gave her a receipt for that amount on account for the
whole of the goods, piano included. Mr. Harrison concluded
by stating that he would call evidence to corroborate this
statement, and then apply to the alderman to hind the de-
fendant over in his owu recognisances to appear and answer
the charge at the London Quarter Sessions.
Evidence was called in support of this statement, and
one of the firm of Collard and Co. stated that no person
named Bateman had been • foreman there for 25 years.
Alderman Hunter said he thought that sufficient had
come before him to justify him in sending the case to the
sessions, and he would therefore bind defendant over in the
sum of 201. to appear and answer the charge.
WORSHIP-STREET.

StSPIC101:11 DEATH .—C H ROL OF MCIIDER.—William
Day, a feeble old man, in the 85th year of his age, anal who
has been for upwards of half a century a poulterer in
Leadenliall Market, was charged on suspicion with having
caused the death of his wife, 63 years of age.
The prisoner and his wife had lived apart for nearly 20 years,
and the latter, who was es idently a person of extremely eccen-
tric habits, occupied the house, No. 1, Little South-street,
Camberwell, anal supported herself by a small income and a
weweekly allowance from her husband. It had been her cus-
tom,for some years past, to call on her husband at the
market every Saturday evening to receive her allowance,
• but not calling on Saturday last, her husband proceeded
to her house on Sunday to learn the cause, and
knocked several times but could not obtain adMt-
lance. On Monday evening he called a second time, and
knocked for admittance, but without success, and he then
mentioned to some neighbours his suspicion that his wife
was dead, as she had latterly been complaining of illness.
The door was in consequence forced open, and the place
was found in great confusion ; but no trace could be disco-
vered of the deceased. On Tuesday evening a more minute
search was made, when the body of deceased was discovered
crouched up in a small recess behind some rabbit hutches—
s place into which it was the opinion of the police, and all
who saw it, she could not have got into herself. On the re-
moval cud examination of the body, several marks of vio-
lence were found upon it ; the neck was discovered to be
broken, anal one of the stockings wax on.
Mr. Elliott remarked that though the case was one
of singular character and extreme suspicion, he did not
think that any criminality attached to the prisoner, and he
should therefore discharge him.
The prisoner who received an excellent character from
too or three respectable persons was then discharged.

ASSLCLTING IlliPciii..—Tsosiiirdy-looking Irish-
men, who gave their names Dons/ly and Girls', were
charged with having violently assaulted White, Todd, and
Maakwell, officers of the G division of police.
The prisoner Donelly on the previous evening was fight-
ing with a butcher in Ntliitcerous-street, when 'White inter-
fered and separated them. The butcher went away,
but the prisoner Donelly became abusive and turbulent, and
assaulted the officer, who took him into custody, when he
fought and kicked most violently until the other officer,
came to his assistance. They were also desperately attacked
by a mob, which consisted of between three and four hun-
dred of the lowest persons, who called out for a "rescue,"
and the prisoner Glynn was foremost in assaulting the
officers for that purpose, when he was apprehended and
locked up with the other prisoner. The officers were
placed in so much jeopardy, that they were forced to use
their truncheons, and were severely injured. Donelly did
not deny having assaulted the officert, saying that he had
been violently beaten by them.
04ma denied the charges ; but the ease having been
clearly proved against them they were convicted ; Donelly
being sentenced to six weeks' imprisonment, and Glynn for
one month.

The unfortunate gentleman, who was not present until
the close of the evidence, had only been induced to attend
wt. all, in the belief that he was prosecuting some parties
whom he thought had endeavoured to poison him ; he,
however, during the proceedings was in an adjoining room,
singing and raving. The general and medical evidence,
iscluding that of Dr. l'hilp, physician of St. Luke's Hos-
pital and proprietor of Kensington-house, showed that Mr.
Cater had never been of strong mind, but had contrived to
manage his own affairs prior to the ith of June last, when
hs son died, at which he was so much affected as to become
Inbued with delusions that his daughter had conspired with
other relatives to poison him, that various persons in good
firs =stances were in a destitute state ; had an action at
lzw with his bankers, was going to cruet to meet the Queen,
was high sheriff, very intimate with the Queen and Prince
Albert and all the nobility. He was in the habit of wine-
eissarily buying large numbers of geese, of rolling himself
abut in pieces of paper which he bad previously pasted so
flat they stuck to his clothes, of collecting bones and other
rabbish, which he hoarded and called his jewels. He was
Any violent and destructive, particularly with hooks and
newspapers. lle was taken to Dr. Philp in August last,
when he at first refused to take his food, fur fear of being
poisoned, as he said.
Upon being introduced to the jury he kept throwing him-
self down and springing up again, exclaiming, like a child,
"Up again." His answers to the learned commissioner,
from their incoherence, and his general demeanour, con-
firmed the foregoing testimony, and a verdict was unani-
mously returned of unsound mind from lith July, lark.

SMOKING RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—On Friday a fatal
accident happened at Chesterfield railway station to John
Bombard, stoker of the Staveley coal tram. The train had,
it appears, come from Staveley that morning, laden with
coal, and Bernhard was engaged coupling the empty wag-
gons together in the north aiding of the station, previous to
taking them hack; the train was then set in motion, but
Bombard, from some unexplained cause, had nut got on the
engine at the proper time, and running after it, got upon
the step, but not haling time to get further, he had to stand
in that position; almost simultaneously with this circum-
stance the engine reached a post erected by the side of the
railway, and there not being sufficient room for him to pass,
he was crashed fearfully in the lower part of his body ; one
of his legs was lit-rally turned ronnd by the force of the
collision, and in falling be was still further mutilated by
being struck by the connecting rods. lie was taken to the
Swan Inn, end medical attendance procured, but he was so
dreadfkilly injured that he died in about an hour and a half
from the time of the accident.—Derbyshire Courier.
ITLATY FLOODS IN Sourn WALES,—The long-
continuance of wet weather, joined with the late very heavy
rains, have had the effect of completely. flooding the low-
lamb in the Aberdare valley. The river Cynose spread
over its barks, and completely inundated the country to
such an extent that it was feared that the traffic on the line
of railway would be interrupted, and darner to the line
• itself ensue. Fortunately, however, no injury was sus-
tained. In the neighbourhood of Dowlais there has been
an immense fall of rain which, with the torrents from the
mountains, hare inundated the country, rendering
the roads perfectly impassable, The river Towy, in Cal-
marthenshire, has overflowed its batik. and flooded the
country to a great extent. The town and neighhourh,ml of
Cardigan have been visited by terrific falls of rain, which
have cmip:etelv flooded the lower parts of the town, Boat-
ing chairs, table~, beds de., in the houses, the torrents of
water ecryieg everything before them. Much damage has
in consequence been sustained in various parts.

Mr. Co&e—Why not?
Because the parties might feel offeimled.
Mr. Combs—Yes, it is very convenient for receivers of
Mabel seeds not to sok soy questions of the thieves, that
