but, as the horse wee tired, the driveriimelhed
to take beyond a certain part of the Steatites-road.
The plaintiff got on the box, as the night was tine, and as
the cabriolet was proceeding down Kennington-hum, the
defendant came up in the opposite direction and the wrong
side of the road in a gig, driving at a furious pace. The
cabriolet came into violent contact with the gig; the
plaintiff was thrown off the box, and received in-
juries on the left leg and thigh, which still com-
pel him to wear beodages, and render it doubtful
whether he will recover the secure possession of the agility
newesary to the succesaful performance of .the character
which he ammo. The defendant and his father, who had
also been in the gig, were thrown eat of it, and, as well as
the plaintiff, were removed to a public-hone in the neigh-
bourhood ; while there, the defendant was reminded by his
father that on a former occasion he had been guilty of furious
driving. The plaintiff was assisted into the room where the
defendant and his father were, sad some conversation took
place. The plaintiff abstained from giving the defendant in
charge, but the driver of the cab did no, and ultimately the de-
fendant was ordered to pay the sum of 101.13 e. for the injuries
done to the vehicle.--ter. Simon, for the defendant, con-
tended that the injury was caused by ma inevitable accident,
the horse having been at the time beyond the defendant's
control—Lord Denman having summed up, the jury re-
turned • verdict for the plaintiff; with damages 251.

until the time Mr. Marshall WAN with the came to search
there.
Mary Wright, a servant et Mr. Hiclunan's chambers, proved
that Simons repeatedly brought parcels there ; and in an-
ewer to Sir F. Thesiger she said that upon some occasions,
when she wee told that Mr. Hickman had friends with him,
she ordered her to take the parcels up by the back stein, so
that Mr. Hickman might not know of it. She also con-
firmed the testimony of the last witnees with regard to Mr.
Hickman giving instructions that there should be free sc-
cem to him chambers, and that every facility should be given
for a search.
Allison, the police-constable, proved that while the search
was being made at Mr. Hickman's, that gentlemen said that
he understood Miss Simons had a salary of 2001. a year.
This evidence closed the case for the prosecution.
Serjeant Wilkins then addressed the jury for the prisoner
Bimoas, and all he eould now do on her behalf was to state
that the prisoner persisted in the line of defence she had
aeitited, and the jury must form their own conclusions re-
Mg the truth of that defence by the evidence that had
adduced. He reminded the jury that if it were true
that an intimacy existed between the prisoner and Mr. Stitt-
ton, it would almost be an impossibility to show it by evi-
dence, because, from the position of the parties, they would
naturally_take every means in their power to ensure se-
crecy. The learned serjeant concluded a very brief address
by calling upon the jury. if they believed the evidence given
by the prisoner's sister, to treat it as an important corrobo-
ration of her usertion of the intimacy between the parties,
and if that were se he was sure they would not convict her
upon the present charge.
Sir F. Thssiger next addressed the jury for the other pri-
soner, and he commenced his observations by stating that if
an unsullied reputation, and the possession of ample means
were any guarantees for the non-commission of crime, both
of these attributes were possessed by the gentleman at the
bar; but the present case showed that in the varied and
changing occurrences of life no station or position of society
could shield a man, under some peculiar circumstances, from
being dragged into the painful position now occupied by Mr.
Hickman. The questea the jury bad to decide was, whe-
ther the articlis found in his chambers had been deposited
there with a guilty knowledge by him that they bad been
stolen, and that question he felt satisfied the jury would
answer in the negative.
Sir Richard Creswick was then called to speak to the cha-
racter of Mr. Hickman, and he described him as a gentleman
of strict honour and integrity,
There were a great number of other gentlemen in attend-
ance to depose to the same facts, but the jury intimated that
they considered it uenecessary to have them examined.
The Attorney General, who prosecuted, said he should not
have exercised his right to reply if it had not appeared
to him that his duty to the public oompelkd him
to take care that all parties—prosecutor, prisoners, and
witnesses—were put in their right position before
the jury, With regard to the speech of his learned
friend Sir Frederick Thesiger, he should not say one
word, as he considered that he did net adduce a single argu-
ment in which he was not fairly justified, by the circum.
stances of the ease, against his client ; but he must say, that
it appeared to him that the learned eerjeant had made a
mod unfair and unjustifiable attack upon Mr. Santee, for
which, as be submitted, not the slightest foundation was
alluded by the evidence. Mr. Stinton had positively de-
nied in the melt solemn manner the truth of the insinuation
suggested by the prisoner Simons ; and yet the learned aer-
jeent had endeavoured to induce the jury to come to a con-
clusion contrary to the evidence, although he did not dare to
se Mr. Stinton the question whether these things had been
given to the prisoner as the price of their acquaintance.
Mr. Justice Coltman then summed up, and the jury
almost immediately returned a verdict of Guilty against the
prisoner Simons, and acquitted Mr. Hickman.—There was
an attempt at applause in the court when the verdict was
delivered, but it was speedily repressed.
Mr. Bodkin said there were two other indictments, in
which Mr. Hickman was charged as receiver, but after the
verdict that had been delivered, and the full inquiry that
j had taken place, he considered it unnecessary to proceed
with them.

Mr. Justice Coltman, in ordering the discharge of Mr.
Hickman, said he quite concurred in the verdict of the jury.
He believed that he had only acted with indiscretion, and
that there was not the least ground for supposing that he
was actuated by any felonious intention.
