Mr. Charles yuamr, I....daitor, watched the case for the
prosecution, but did not take any part in it.
It will Le recollected that Dr. Godfrey was the defendant
in an action for seductiot al) art them months ago, and that
after a trial which lasted for five days In the Court of Com-
mon Pleas a verdict wee returned in his favour. On Mon-
day sad Tuesday Dr. Godfrey prosecuted Mr. Willem
Newtce, the pr meistor and editor of the /last Leedom
ith-terrer, f r Itbel Arlan out of some eminent.
in that jourml after the trial of the case „Gardner
v. Godfrey." The jetty acquitted Mr. Newton, sod
gave him a verdict on all the issues. Time wee a good deal
of excitement, aesembaces of people, and rioting in the
Whiteehq cl-road for several days after the termination of
the case Gardner v. Godfrey." Since the acquittal of Mr.
Newton ea Tumidity last, at the Cehtral Cticuiesi Court the
excitem.nt has been intense; disorderly wsemblages have
mustered in front of Dr. Godfrey's his.., and he bee been
welly iasulte I, hooted, and bused; and when he drove to

Cps leaving the etation.house he wee *gain followed by the

and retched it with some difficulty. Wheal came oat of my

exciting the mob and shouting. I asked& police-mutable to

was wrong, sad that he attended his (she prisoner's) family.
Dr. Godfrey—And I have Leen vary kind to yon.

In this case an application was made to admit the Insol-

An objection was taken to the application on the ground
that the insolvent was in custody for damages awarded
against him in an action foe breach of promise of marriage,
and the party was the only creditor on the schedule.
It was urged that there was a prima facie case of remand
against the insolvent is the damages given, and therefore it
wee not a caae for bail to be tikes.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

OLD COURT.
(Moro Mr. Jontios Crompton.)

Jones Seant,, 68, was charged with wilfully and mali-
ciously setting lire to a workshop, with intent to defraud the
Phatais fire-office.

iMr,Tindal Atkinson conducted the prosecution; Mr.
Metcalfe ddendel the prisoner.
This case oauyied the court for several hours, Me the
facts lay in a very narrow commas. The prisoner, it ap-
peared, tarried on the bnibiem of a blacksmith in a place
celled White'scow, in Whitechapet, and in the month of
February of the pretreat year he efficied an insurance in the
Placenta °lke for 1001., an addttionel premium being charged
on account of the premiere adjoining s chemical manufactory,
whirs a great many very infl•mmable substances were kept.
It seemed that for room reason or other a sus.
=was entertained that the prisoner intended to
mischief; and a Mr. Bourdon, the proprietor
of the chemical works referred to, and one or two persons in
his service and a policeman watched his proceedings, and
on the night of the 3rd of May. when the fire took place, by
means of • bidder they placed themselvee ins position from
whence they could see what occurrei upon the prisoner's
premises. According to thar evidence, about h4fipast
o'clock in the morning the prisoner was seen to go into his
workshop in • stealthy manner, and almost immediately
afterwards the place was observed to be on fire. The parties
immediately rushed into the place, and they there discovered
that some barkers tilled with straw and shavings were en
fire in different parts of the shop, and the names were elfin-
raished, without ceasing more than very trAlvg damage.
When the prisoner was questioned, be said that the flee had
been occasioned by hie dropping • candle, accidentally, into
one of the beakata that was filled with shavings,
and the fire bad spread is the ether parts of
the shop. He at the same tinsel accounted for being at the
shop at so early an hoar in the morning by stating that he
had to repair a window-blind for • tradesman In the neigh-
bourhood named Hall, and that it was necessary it should be
put up again by eaves o'clock in the morning ; and this
statement turned out to he tram An spent of the Phan&
Compsny went on the following day to see the prisoner upon
the subject of the fire, but he toll him it was onnecemary
that he should interfere, as he did not intend to mike any
claim upon the office, and an arrangement was made that he
should give up the policy upon the amount of the premium,
ten shillings, being returned to him. The only additional
fact in the case appeared to be that the stock which the pri-
soner had insured to the amount of 1001. was not worth in
reality more than Bf. or 101. The flee office, it appearel,
WWII not the parties who had instituted the present prosecu-
tion.

Mr. Metrelfs =is a wry able speech to the jury on be-
half of the prisoner, and be contended thee there wax noshing
in the care to show that the fire really was not the malt of
accident, sad that the fact of the Phoenix Company declining
to strongly coatirmed this view of the cadre
withered, were called, who gave the prisoner •
very good character.
Mr. Justice Crompton rammed up the evidence, and the
jary, after deliberating nearly an hour, returned • verict of
tieilty, bet strongly recommended him to mercy on amount
of Ma op end good character.
He was sentenced to ei6ht year.' penal rervitude.

NEW COURT.
(Before the Recorder.)

William Whit; chandler, was brought up, and sentenced
to twelve months' irepr:somment.
Joseph Zalmwmatrica was also brought up, and sentenced
to titres years' penal servitude.
This ended the business. The next amnion commences
on Monday, July 4.
