'I he I:,eorikr, in charging the grand jury, said there
woe several CaSe3 adjUlilllol froia last nosaiona. which
had Inn previously comment, d upon. The unadjourned
we. were not very n.romous, nor were tliey of a
very seli,.u4 character. Their were, however, three cases
where the charge was that of ttewpting to commit wilful
curler, the parties not having lied. The first
chary woo that against Vet roil sallied JAIIICA Ilichop, of
att.. eptim, to murder his wife by cutting her thont, and it
did nut .ippear that thew had been any quarrel between
them to lead to the comui. an of the offence. There was
a against 1,11‘.8 (:I °en. who presented a
at his wife and .irety the trigger ; but the
secua u ,;used fire. T:‘, animus in this Calle WAS
cleat ly shown by the p isomer, when taken into
custedy, e • pressing leis I kV et that he had nut done it with
a lode, and then there soured have been no doubt about
it. The mat charge was iig..nst Sarah Raebuin, cruel front
the i•siilviice he could hardiy holies,: that she was in her
right mind, the statement being that she in passing along
the street threw her child into a heap of slaking lime. The
learned recorder neat referred to two charges of rape, in
one of which the girl was ppst at the age of twelve, and to
a charge 3Z,killSt a bankrupt of fraudulently disposing of
his goods three modtha before bankruptcy. In conclusion
he directed the attention of the grand jury to the
charges filex.rs. cruldt and Robinson. insurance
brokers, of frandulentlr applying to their own uses the
proceeds of certain policir, of ia.,,oaaeo they had
been entrusted to collect. It appeared that there was
sot, qum.tion as to whoa the money should be paid, but
ultimately the owners of the shit on which the policies
had been effected wrote to the prisoners, " you had better
remit the money to our aelicitors, Messrs. Rateson, Robin-
son, and t 0.," adding that this course would no doubt be
agreeable to the parties wlm made the repairs. This was
certainly not a vet) specific direction, and there were some
other questions which would arise with resne-A to it, hut
all of these had better he decided by the learned judge
before whom ate case might be tried.

to be ashamed of himself and had a few words with him,
when he seized me, got me out of the house and down on
