THE EVRAitev- WING, -JULY 23, 1860.

for there will be a bad field, Horror, Butterfly, Ave '
and ova at J. Scott's (Strestasuce we the Bap) being all one
own country can depend upon, while the other starters will
eempries the two Americans, Starke and Satellite, and the
Frenclumen, Gaston and Damn. It is miaowed the letter's
starting. doubtful, on account of the "price' in the mar.
kat not being good enough ; but his owner will 'mistily mime
such a prise. as be appears to hare all the best
of the weights from the Derby running with
the English division, because Honor, who was not many
lengths before him at Epsom, is quite the equal of Butterfly,
through his defeat of Avalanche at AIICOL Should there
be anything wrong with Dangu, the Americans will have a
fair chance with Starke, and I hope to have the winner
when coupling the two.
On Friday there will be a splendid card, as the Chester-
held Opp Handicap. one mile and a quarter, will be cer-
tainly productive of a large field, whatever previous running
may say in connexion with it, my present fancy being for
&gilts, 3 yrs, Bet 101 b, and Contadins, 3 yrs, hat 7lb ; the
latter is a dangerous opponent to Seclusion in the
Neiman Stakes, for 3-yr-old fillies, one mile, despite the
running at Ascot, where she was not A lin form. The
Nursery Handicap it is difficult to make calculations for,
as few Zyr-olds an go the mile ; but Rouge Dregon,
Tat 191 b, and lleld of Peru, 7st 21b, were second and
third to Clocka-Hoop over the severer mile at
Aacot, the pair, in company with the colt by New-
minder, 7st LIM, and the colt by West Australian, 7st 81b,
two beekward it were impossible to overlook
who roe at Amok the hart I can select. The March
Stakes, for two and three year olds, halt a mile, will be
totally dependent on previous nomisp—even for what the
field will be composed of, as the winner is liable to a 300 f.
claim, and much will depend en bow Ear canters are dis-

As ill-funnels would been 1t this race was not decided
upon its rueriw. Vuhappily a foul occurred directly after
the start, which decided the nice to the diaqualifiostion of
the Newcastle or Lord Kilmorey crew. The start was very
floe, and very even, Kelly's crew being on the Middlesex aids,
next to them the Clasper., and then the Manchester and
Tyne nice. They came oar and oar to the committee's
steamer, when Kelly's crew began to draw slightly, the Man-
chester men being a foot or two in front of the Newcastle.
The London and Newcastle men were so close &brew* that
it looked very dubious whether there would not be a colli-
sion., and there was a slight but unimportant touch with
their Wastes at the very moment that Kelly's crew drew at

tested, and merely peddled up to complete the distance,
were slightly astern, as it will be seen, at the time of the
foul, and protested, but the umpire direpoilified them ; but,
in consideration of the distance they had cone, and the ex-

ceressombe—the launching of a large line-of-battle screw
steam ship-came off at this dockyard this afternoon, with
the most signal stoma, whereby a valuable addition has
been made to the noble squadron of 91 gun same steamers
belonging to the British navy. The Atlas is one of the
finest vemela ever constructed at this dockyard, and is as
noble a specimen of naval architecture as any ship in her
Majesty's navy. She has been a little more then two years
in progress, having been commenced in Felintary, 1858, and
was laid down from the designs and drawings al Admiral
Sir Baldwin W. Walker, K.C. 8., Comptroller of the Navy.
She has been completed under the superintend/aft of Mr.
0. W. Lung, the master shipbuilder of this dockyard. As
the lay on her cradle prior to the launch, her magnificent
app.:animas excited universal admiration. 1116 following

(Before the Lords Justices of Appeal
PAITI UtZENNLADI6-111 66 LEWIs, A BAXIIIICIT.
This was an appeal from the refusal of the Commissioner
to annul an adjudication made on the bankrupt's own petit.
time, to give en opportunity to the appellants to obtain one
molar which an execution might be art aside which lied
bum levied by the bankrupt's brother a few hours before
Oa declaration of insolvency on which the adjudication
ma founded, was filed. 'the principal question wee,
whither them was an act of bankruptcy by reference to
which this could be effected, that principally relied upon
being the bankrupt's departure from his place of business
to go to Bristol mud file the declaration of insolvency. It
was not disputed that the bankrupt's object in going was to
defeat Ms brother's exewatioo.

Mr. D. Oar rd Mr. Ber.i;Well appeared in support of the
appeal ; and Mr. Basso, Q.C., cad Mr. Prideaus (of the
common law bar) forth. trade aasignees contra. Mr. Will.
cock, Q.C., for the bankrupt, took no part in the discussion.
The lord Justice Turner said that, without saying that
the act.ci heakruptcy relied upon was not effectual, the
&Metals' which there would be in maintaining it appeared
so great that it would not be right to involve the estate in
the litigation which such a contest would occasion. The
appeal must therefore be dimniseed, but without coats.

NH ILLITO V. COLLET.

This was a petition of Mr.. Collett, to have the custody
of her three youngest children. The petitioner cane to
England from India in 1838; her husband, Mr. George
Cole, who was a surgeon in the Indian service, dying on the
voyage. Mr. and Mrs. Cole had seven children, and by his
will Mr. fibillito and his brother, Mr. Cole, who is in India,
were appointed guardians of the childrem. Mr. Mifflin)
took • house adjoining to his own at Putney especially for
the use of the children. lasiments •11/118 between Mr.
&Witco sod Mn. Cole ; be "ng that she was extrava-
gant, and lived at a rate bey her income, and, moreover,
that she had remained oat two nights, leaving her children
to the are of servant& ghe enternuned at one
time a notion of returning to India, but mu-
tually married Mr. Collett, who, it was stated,
is • clerk in a London bank. By Mr. Cole's will his pro-
perty was left to her for life and then to her children, with
a provision that if she married again the property wait to
pass from her, except an annuity of 50/. ; and by her second
she also forfeited the pension to which she we.
entitled from the ludim government. The counsel for Mrs.
Collett strongly repudiated the charge of extravagance and
irregularity, and they amounted for her staying out all
night on the °COY iOD referred to by statism that she bad
goes to the open, and the night being wet she had re-
mained at the house of • friend who lived near the Opera-
house. Her alleged extravagance they said anise from her
being induced to believe her income was 800/. a year,
whereas her income was little more than /1001.

Mr. Glum and Mr. Southgate appeared in support of the
petition ; Mr. Haily and Mr. Hetherington for the
guardians.
The Vice-Chancellor mid it wee evident that this lady,
having lived some time in India, had contracted what
were called Indian habits. It was well known
that in India the affairs and the household were meonged
an upper servant, and that the ladies had nothing
whatever toil° with them; and lodine ladies were also in the
habit of leaving the children entirely to the care of servants.
There was no suggestion of the slightest impropriety or
immorality in Mrs. Collett ; but she had not throe stay-at-
home and economical halite which English ladies generally
had. Mr. ilhißito awned to have been actuated by no de-
sire but that of promoting the welfare of hi. friend's wde
and children. Having regard to the circumstances of Mr.
and Mm. Collett, and the other circumstances of the cam,
he thought it most for the beoefit of the children that at
present they should remain in the custody of Mr. Shinji.).
The petition meat therefore be dianumed, the meta of both
parties to coma out of the estate.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

HOME CIRCIIIT.—Lzwas, JULY 21.

The commission for the county of Sussex was opened. in
this town on Friday afternoon, and on the following
business was proceeded with at ten o'clock, Lord
Justice Cockburn presiding on the Crown aide, and Mr.
Justice Blackburn at Nisi Prius. The entry of amass is
rather large for this place, there being tour special jury sad
seven cum
Mollir 01.11411 to be disposed of. On the Crown
side them are primulas, and among ths charges an cos
of murder and three of manslaughter. Two of the hitter,
the charge spinet Mr. Flopley, the schoolmaster at East-
bourne, of causing the death of one of his scholars, *brutal
treatment in the shape of Begging, and the case of Yr. Bull,
a surgeon, who is charged with causing the death of his
mother by negligently administering to her an excessive
dose of prussic acid, appear to create eery treat isitsrait.
The other came in the calendar are of the orthasry deacrip-
tion.

The Lord Chief Justice in his charge to the grand jury, in
reference to the charge of murder, said it appeared to him,
from the facts stated in the depositions, that the may comae
they could pursue in respect to this owe was the painful
one of returning • true bill ; aed the only other eases to
which he considered it necessary to direct their *Beatles
were two charges of manslaughter, of a rather peculiar
character. The first of these was the case of 'Morass
Hopley, schoolmaster who was charged with the man-
slaughter of one of his scholars, by beating him, and he
would shortly state to them what the law was in rference
to this case. By the law of England the right was given to
• parent or • schoolmaster to administer correction to a
child ; and although many persons might be of opinion that
it was injudicious under any circumstances to resort to per
sonal violence, and that it was much better to make use of those
kind influences to which youth was so susceptible, still the law
' undoubtedly sanctioned the use of personal oorrection. At the
same time it was required that any punishment inflicted upon
a child by • parent or schoohnester should be of • moderate
and reasonable chancier. and if there was any excess, or
the punishment was inflicted with rashness and anger.
and fatal consequences resulted, the party by whom such
punishment was inflicted rendered himself amenable to the
law, and was guilty of manslaughter. They were not there
to enter into any speculative ducuision se to the propriety
or impropriety of resorting to corporal punishment in Inch
a case, but mud deal with the case as it stood, and the only
questions they were called upon to decide were whether
the prisoner was proved to have inflicted punishment of a
moderate teem, and such as would be indictee( by a
reasonable roan upon • child, or whether it wan inflicted in
excess and with anger and violence, and that it was the owes
of death, in which case it would certainly, in law be unjusti.
Sable, and the prisoner would be responsible. The law did
not permit a parent," much lees • person to whom he dele-
gated his authority, as was the ease with • schoolmaster,
to make use of exoessive punishment to a child, and if
death resulted both were amenable to the law. With re-
gard to the facts, it appeared from the depositions that the
punishment WS' continued fora long period, and that it was
Inflicted with a rope and • stick, which were not the ordi-
nary instruments of punishment for children, and the grand
jury would of course take this fact into their consideration
when the matter was before them. The material question
for them, however, would be, whether it was proved that
the punishment inflicted upon this child was inordinate
and improper, and that it was the cause of death, and if
this was established by the evicleece, it would be
their duty to return • true bill. llue other case
of manslaughter to which he considered it neemeary
to advert was a charge against • surgeon, named Bull, of
having caused the death of his own mother, by negligently
administering to her an improper dose of prussic acid. In
this case, whicliwas undoubtedly one of • most painful cha-
racter, the only question for the consideration of the grand
jury was whether there had been such criminal neglect on
the part of the person accused as would render him crimi-
nally responsible ; sad he would observe that mere inadver-
tence or oversight would not be sufficient to bring him
within the scope of the law, but they must be satisfied that
be had been guilty of gross sod culpable negligence, or
rashness, before they would be justified in returning • true
bill. If this were not clearly established, it appeared to
him that the grand jury ought not to add to the misery
which the circumstasexe must neoesesrily have occasioned to
the unfortunate prisoner by causing him to be placed at the
bar to take his trial upon such • charge.
No cue of interest occurred in either court to-day.

NORFOLK CIRCUIT.—Cr nuns, JULY 21.
CSOWY Comm.—(Bears the Lord Chief Berra Pollock.)
Thomas Pre(loos Ofry was charged with havi wilfully
made • false decimation under the Marriage and
Registra-
tion Acta Amendment Act, at Cambridge, on the 12th
day of May, 1860.
Mr. Cooper for the prosecution, Mr. Metcalfe for the
prisoner.
It appeared that the prisoner in May last, having engaged
the affections of a young girl, who lived with her wrote in
the neighbourhood, went to the registrar's office to give no-
tice of his intended marriage. He then signed a declaration
that he believed her to be of the age of 21 years, whereas
in truth she was not 16. The girl having talked of her
marriage with some schoolfellows they informed the clergy-
man, who in his turn told the parents. Upon being inked
w 6 he had not lint obtained their consent, the priaonermid,
" He had not eked because he knew he should not get it,
but that he was determined to marry her one way or
another."

The ptuse tion not being able to show that the prisoner
knew the girl's real age, the jury Acquitted him.
NMI Puud Cousr.--(Before the Lord Chief Justice Erie.)

DONNZX V. TURRALL.
Mr. O'Malley, Q.C., and Mr. Naylor, were for the plain-
tiff ; Mr. Power, Q.C., for the defendant.
This was an action for false imprisonment, the defendant
being the Superintendent of Police for the Borough, and he
pleaded that what he did was as • police-constable for the
borough of Cambridge and in the execution of his duty, and
that within one month after having received notice of
action be tendered 40s. to the plaintiff as amends for the
grievances complained of, which was a sufficient compenaa.
%ion, but which the plaintiff refused to accept. This was the
only issue. The plaintiff, • pig.jobber and cattle-dealer,
was in • publichouse in Buse:-street on the night of
the 24th of Marra, and bought some pies of •
man at the bar. In payment he tendered • shilling,
which looked so suspiciously bad the pie-man refused to
keep it, but having received tenpence in change, the plain-
tiff refused to take it back. Upon this he was given in
custody, and charged with uttering a counterfeit shilling.

27th of August, HMO, at the township of Bilaton, stolen a
leathern bag, a key, and 3361., the moneys of Benjamin
Gibbons.
Mr. Katmai, on behalf of the prisoner, called several
wither's, who gave him a good character.
Mr. Hodclleston, Q.C., who bad been engaged to conduct
the prosecution, stated that the primmer, on obtaining the
money, absconded to Australia. An racer was sent in
search of him, and after much trouble succeeded in cap-
turing him, and in tits possession be found 217!. of the
stolen money, and a number of boots and other articles,
recently purchased with a portion of the money. He (Mr.
Huddlestoo) applied that these things might be restored to
the prosecutor, and also that the expenses of the appre-
hension might be allowed.
His Lordship took time to consider the matter.
Sentence was deferred.

Today (Saturday) the application wee renewed, when his
lordship said that the property must be produced on Twee-
day, when he would make an order. His lordship's order
=mot however be rigidly complied with, inasmuch as the
detective who went out in pursuit spent the 150 f. which he
received from the prolecutor for his expenses before ha
found his man, and a further sum of upwards of 100 f. after-
wards, using the money found on Swatruan for that micas.
Some little difficulty is therefore anticipated.
