COURT OF EXCHEQUER.—Nov. 5.

Sitting in Banco.—(Before the Lord Mist Baron and
Barons Bramwell, Chanson, and Pigott.)
FRA3IE r. LIVERPOOL ORNIRI:, 0/11PANT.

This was an action on an agreement under which the
defendants were to allow the plaintiff to place advertise-
rrents upon the outside of all their omnibuses on his pal-
ing 200/. for the first year, and :W. a year afterwards ;
and at the trial before Mr. Justice Smith, at Liverpool, a
verdict was entered for the defendants, leave being given
to the plaintiff to move to enter a verdict for him, it
being agreed that in ease the court should be of opinion
that the plaintiff was entitled to the verdict the amount of
damages atiould be referred.

Mr.,, Temple, Q.C., in now moving acoardingly, said the
action was brought for a breach of the agreement, the de-
fendants having refused to allow the plaintiff to affix his
advertisements to their omnibuses.

The defence was that the agreement was illegal. inas-
much as to affix the advertisements in the way required by
the plaintiff would interfere with the light and ventilation
of the omniouses, and would consequently be in contraven-
tion of a bye-law framed by the town council under an act
of parliament in regard to these vehicles. The leained
counsel submitted that there was nothing in the agreement
in contravention of the bye-laws, and that the plaintiff
was entitled to have the verdict entered for him.
The Lord Chief Baron said the court would consult Mr.
Justice Smith before saying whether they would grant or
refuse a rule.

THE FENIAN TRIALS AT MANCHESTER.

MANCHENIIIR, Nov. Lt.
Thin morning the trial of the Fenian prisoners,
William Martin, John Charles Nugent, Patrick Coffey,
John Bacon, John Brannan, and Timothy Featherstone,
was resumed. Mr. Justice Blackburn and Mr. Justice
Mellor took their seats about nine o'clock. Many thou-
sands of people still assemble every morning and evening
to see the prisoners escorted to and from the New I:Aley
prison in &Hord. The weather being tine the assemblage
WAY unusually numerous. It is a rather imposing spec-
tacle. First oome a numerous body of mounted police
with drawn swords Hashing in the sun ; then follow a
detachment of Hussars, with swords drawn. A stro.g
body of 72m1 Hizhlanolers succeed, marching close up
shoulder to shoulder, and spreading nearly across the
street. Next comes the dark, hearse-like looking van,
covered with policemen at the top instead of
ncdding plumes, each policeman armed with a revolve-.
The van is flanked. by Highlanders, and another close
'oody of these soldiers follow the van closely packed
together, like those which preceded the heavy vehicle. The
Highlanders march with fixed bayonets. After these
come another detachment of Hussars, and then a detach-
ment of mounted police, sword in band, bring up the rear.
The pomp anti circumstance attending this military parade
must have a wonderful fascination for the pubic to draw
so many thousands from their ordinary avocations to look
upon it day after day.
The defence for Mr. Seymour's clients was closed.

Mr. Serpent O'Brien 'called several witnengas for the
defence, end Mr. Seymour will reply on the whole cue to-
mon ow.

A MANCHESTER POLICEMAN SHOT AT BY A
WOMAN.

MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.
Another of those insane attempts at outrage on
the police has just occurred in this city, but fortunately,
this time, without any very serious results accruing. Ls 4
night, a policeir of the C division, named Daniel Connell,
was on duty in Hyde.read, when a young woman
attemp.ed to shoot him with a piskil. Thanks to her
inexpe•ienee of firearms, the chair did not go off, and
she Iris arrested before she had time to carry out her
ardeious purpose. She gave the name of Adelaide Noble
Macdomdd, bus there is some reason to doubt its correct-
ness. l'opular &amour, which may be taken for what it is
worth, ~ays she is the sweetheart of the condemned Fenian
O'Meara Allen, while another report has it that she is an
intimate companion of Allen's sweetheart. The charge
was investigated at the City police-court this morning,
when the following evidence was adduced :
Police-constable Connell stated that last nigH, shortly
before eight o'clock, he was on duty on the Hyde-road,
when he saw the prisoner looking into the window of a
shop kept by a man named Griffiths. He said to her,
" Tnem's nice-looking pictures," to,which she made answer,
" Are you an Irishman r Heald nothing at first, but on
her repeating the question, be answered that he was an
Englishman. She said, " You are a sharp lot of police-
men and aakedlhow it was they could not catch Kelly and
DeaLy, when there was such a reward offered for thew.
Witness made no reply, and left her, but she followed
him, and he directly after-yards heard a " crack " at his
ear. A second or two afterwards he heard another
" crack." He did not know what it was, but he thought
it sounded like the fall of a pistol hammer upon a bare
nipple. He turned round and the prisoner held her hand,
which appeared to be holding something, near his ear.
He asked what she meant, to which she replied that she
meant to be hung. She said she came there for the pur-
pose of shooting Griffiths (the witness against Allen).
Prisoner—He's going wrong.
Witness—She put her hand into her pocket, and said,
" I'll make it go." She then drew from her pocket a
paper containing some pistol bullets, and witness believed
that at the same moment be saw a pistol in her hand. He
at once seized her, and brought her within the light of
Griffith.'. window, and be then saw a pistol in her right
hand. They struggled for the possession of it for about a
minute and a half, and ultimately the pistol snapped into
two parts, the barrel being left in witness's hand and the
stock in the prisoner's. She sergeant now came up and
ordered witness to take prisoner into custody. The ser-
geant asked her whether she bad anything in her pocket,
and she replied that she had some balls and ego.
She drew the balls and caps, in two separate papers, from
her pocket. The had no powder. When witness took the
pistol from her it was cocked, but not capped. Witness
afterwards examined the ground ; he fourd. no cap there,
but he found a boa

The prisoner, in reply to the bench, said she had no
questions to ask. She came from Liverpool, and had no
friends here.
Mr. Kennedy—lt's a serious matter this, if proved.
Mr. Rickards—Have you no one here?
l'risoner—No ; I don't wish to have.
Mr. Rickards—Do you understand your position?
Prisoner ilaugliing)—Oh, yes ; quite.
Superintendent Anderton, of the C division, deposed to
receiving the pistol produced.d. He asked the prisoner if
she had any powder, and she said she had had some, but
the policeman must have taken it from her. On asking
her to give an amount of herself, she said, " I have
been to the gaol to see Allen, and they refused to let me
see him, and told ma I must get a magistrate's order."
Witnea had since bad the pistol charge drawn by a
gunsmith ; it contained the powder, paper, and ball pro-
duced. This morning he charged the prisoner with pre-
senting a pistol at a policeman, with intent to do grievous
bodily harm, and she answered, " I did." She declined to
give her address in Liverpool, and witness had only been
able to ascertain that she was a servant.

Mr. Newton, a gunsmith, Lower King-etreet, said be
examined the pistol and found it loaded with powder and
ball. Witness could not say whether or not a cap had
recently snapped on the nipple. It was a full charge of
powder.
This being the whole of the evidence, the prisoner said,
in reply to the charge, that the constable insulted her.
Mr. Kennedy, interposing—Yon had better say nothing
at present.
The Prisoner—Very welL Lat them have all the say to
themselves. I will say nothing.
In consequence of the police wishing to have an oppor-
tunity of learning something more about the prisoner, she
wan remanded for a week, the witnesses being bound over
to prosecute at the next assizes. It is said that the pri-
soner is known to have been on intimate terms with Allen,
Gould, and other Fenian prisoners.
