It was ruineured to-day in the lobbies of the Corps
I..Ai:lard that the Empress will probably prolong

already extended by an imperial decree. It
is lairs certain that the necessary business
possibly be run through without a further
en! et ;smut of the purely arbitrary period fixed by

'es Omission on Monday next, and the debate is
rimed to last several days. Such an announce-

uotn. iously in the habit of voting measures of the

Eh:, the budget is yet to be voted, and
as J. "...mint of numerous changes consequent upon

Jsy Thunder next. It is further stated that the

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice, Crowder.)
(Condo led from Beturdey's I:prat.)

The prisoners, Wagner and William Writes
Bramwell, who were coaeicted o Friday of uttering a
' cheque for 2811., wee on Saturday morning placed at the bar,
wete liorton Batman, another of the gam to take their
upon a second it:allele, cut, which charged them with uttering
a forged cheque for 2701.
' 11r. Joelies Crowder then gummed up. Ha said there
could be no doubt that Chandler was a most tainted wit-
sem and that the jury ought to look with great sospicion at
the evidence that was given by such • witness. BUL, how-
ever, they had hod on opportunity of seeing hie demeanour,
and the manner in which be bad given his evidence, and the
owroborstion which had been evert to it is • great many
Important pertical us, and it was for them to say, upon •
consideration of all the drcumwanew, whether the charge
was established against any or all of the pri.onere.
The jury retired at half-post them o'clock, sad returned
into court /Meetly after four, when they pm • verdict al
Guilty against alt the prironers.
John Spiral), toned the City detective police, was then
called, and be proved Cut Wagner sue convicted in 1852 of
uttering • forged cheque fur 3401., and sentenced to ten
years transportation.
Edward Funnel), another City dttective, proved that Bate-
man was also convicted of felony in 18.52, be having been at
limit time previously cuovicted, and was sentenced to tan
yard transportation.
Mr. Justice Crowder Inquired the nature of the second
offence, and it appeared that thieve-isomer while fa gaol had
booms acquainted with another primmer, aad that when he
got out he went to that prisoner's friends, who were very
poor people, and induced them to send • small sum of morel
under the idea t' at It would toe the means of procuring some
becetk to tb. it unfortunate relative, and that the
obtained possession of the money and applied It to
or..

1 the HaosreU Asylum, sated thee the viscose came into the
lastlintleo is North, 1857, end left is November, 1857. The
pelsoaer was very violent, and hls desire was to destroy
states, ; he broke one is the ball of his house' and also some
windows. Be MN evidently insane. He could converse
very ceberestly. Witness objected to his being Mocha:gad,
bat she manage is which he cold converse, and the coherent
character ',his len,» to the anomindoners, influenced them,
sod he was let out upon &probationary order. Ma case was •
tiniest oat ; his friends could not do anything wi,h him. He
had received some injury to the head, and kad been In the
Middlesex HoepPel.
The prisoner said this witness 'saes bad as the others, and
had given the pitchfork to the man who some time back killed
Goa of the inmates of the asylum.
The pelmets's lather wee celled, and stated that 20 year.
ago the prisoner had been in the Middlesex Hospital with a
brain foyer.
The prisoner' whose ma/um of speaking we not excited,
In his defence denied that he was insane, said this tower
was trumped up to get him into confinement, and asked if it
was likely that he should have gone and shown himself to a
parcel of goevipping old women if be had intended to do
what had been imputed to him.
ht prisoner's request Dr. Oilmen, the medial gentleman
of the poi, wee examined, and he sad that from what be had
seen of the prisoner the short time he had been la the prison,
he should not consider him insane.
. . .

_
The other prisoners, Foster and Humphreys, who were
cm:evicted is Friday, sere then pieced at the bee.
A polies coestable Informed the court that the prisoner
Fester had been senunarily convicted of an attempt at home-
tweekleg, and imatencei to three month.' hard labour.
Mr. Bodkin Informed the court that nothing was known
against ills prisoner Bramwell previously, and he believed
that hie family •ere reaper table.
The prisoners were then called upon in the metal form to
sine whether they had anything to urge why judgment
should not be weed upon them.
The loused Judge then eddreming the Owners roe', that
Wegner, Feeler, Humphrey a, and Bramwell had been con-
vened ea the prevlone day of uttering a forged cheque for
26W, knowing It to be forged, sad to-day Wagner, Bram-
well sod the other pelseeer Bateman, had been eqnvicted
of forging and uttering acother cheque for 2701. The
crime of which they had been conv.eted was one of the
deep wt dye, and ha the course of the Investigation of the
VIUIOII4I tranaactioiss such a eyetareatle coarse of expiry
and fraud had bees developed as he should think had rarely
been exhibited in any court of justice. The insanity that
bad been exhibited to carry out thew offences appeared to
have been moot extraordinary, and be could mot bit reflect
that if the NON talents bad been devoted he legkineals
canasta the whole of the prisoners meat have bra sae-
metal in any walk of life, and they would have been able
to procure a competence for themeeives and their familits.
They had all, however, preferred to honest industry spun-
lating In this meet infamous trade, and they bodiless se
to as extent that must have aotoniebed every one who had
listened to them proceedings. Ono good effect, he hoped,
however, would &nee from the detective of such a gang.ehat
bankers, from the disclosures that had been made, inlaid de-
vise some mode to protect thomealves from such devises, sod
that the severe puniebennt which he *honed feel lilts duty
to baba would also tend to prevent ether* from mining into
each dangerous Uanearriene. With regard to Wegner, it ap-
peared that la the year 1852 he was traasported for ten years
for tittering • fereed cheque for 3401., and that In some way
err other ha obtained his liberty in 1856, and that *early as
moo aa he was liberated he returned to his old courses, and
engaged In the most exteasive traffic is these forgeries, sod
it appeared that he had exerebed nob wonderful Ingenuity
that be was tense seen to be parweally mined up with
any one single tressentke. The resale, however,
showed that the law was too strong for any snout
of ingenuity to contend with, and the sentence he kit called
upon to pass upon him was, that be be kept in panel servi-
tule foe the remainder of his life. With regard to Bateman,
it appeared that he had been twice before eowneted of felony,
and the emend offence, that of rubbing poor people of the
mosey they could so ill epare, was ri gardsdby tae wart soot
sash a wished character that he was oenumesd to ten years
. His sentence appeared to have been mill-
gina=theenaeq. acme of his subecquent good conduct, but
there coal be no doubt that he was couneeted with the obeli
of these forgeries, and the secteaw upon him, therefeee„ would
also be penal servitude foe life. As to the prisoner Hum-
phreys, although to had ale, contrived to keep a good deal
int of the way during the proceedings, it was clear from the
evidence that he had hers a prior ipaf agent in carrying out
the ectsense of fraud and forgery, and the articles that were
SAM at hie lodging were a strong confirmation, and showed
that he was ready to carry out o&inoes of this character to
say attest, and urn him therefore the sentence would be
tbat he be kept iwpenal servitude fur twenty years. With re-
gard to the other prisoners, there was no reason to doubt
that they were alas weer/eel in the guilty proceedings of
their ameciates ; butt att there wore no previous conWeiiees
against them, he should only order them to be kept In penal
servitude for ton rate.
None of the prisoners uttered a word when the 'totem*
wee pronnueced. It is to be hoped that the.. couvioi ions
will relieve the metropolis of a meat desperate gang of forgers
who have lain steel it fre the last two years. The police have
been engaged in watching the different parties dartog nearly
then wet -be of that period, std they appear to deserve conaidar-
able CT. lit for the skill and ingenuity they exhibited in, at
length, bringing the ease home to them.

The learned judge having summed tip, the jury depdf ed
the prisoner on the ground of insanity, and he wee ordered
to be detained during her Majerty's pleasure.

niossly forging a trends; of 8761. Consolidated Bank An-

them to the conclusion that the practise might have
thought htmeelf entitled to the money as a partner. An
engagement like this could not be viewed as one of
those cooneitions of master and servant recognised by
our law. The prosecutir bed curled on a swindling
trade, himself • clerk of 1001. • year. only six months in
Passes, tradiog to • large 'moat in bWs,which repainted
no value. Hi, whole stock in trade • bundle of bills, awl

which did not represent any value. The primer might
hays considered 'gaol( liable, and knowing the teeth must

the partners in the concern.
The Recorder, in summing up, said that however irregular

The jury found the prisoner Gritty, sad the senteacte war
