ARCHES COURT.—Ara. 2.
(Before Dr. Luabington.)
MIDLAND AND BROWN f. PLINE.-CHLRCR RATES.

This was a proceeding to recover the sum of 4s. 6d., the
amount of a church rate at 3d. in fhe pound, alleged by the
churchwarden's of St. Neot's, in the county of Huntingdon,
to be due from Mr. James Paine,: • parishioner. Th y
meat was resisted on the ground that the rote wee ilk for
the following remains :-1. That then had been no
2. That • number el pp parties had been itspeoparly excused.
3. That certain paehhbase had alao been excused. 4. That
the rate was excessive. 6. That the rate was retrospective in
respect of an Item of 151. 40. 6d., for an iron railway, and 6.,
that the rate wee unequal.
Drs. Addams, Q.C., and idpinks, for the churchwardens,
denied that the rate was excessive, unequal, or retrospective;
I end urged that the persons and properties excused had never
bean included in the rating.
The Queen's Advocate (with whom was Dr. NMI, Q.C.)
said that the chnrchweedems admitted that they had assets
amounting to 761., whams the total amount they had re-
quired the year before was only 911., and even that included •
disputed bill. Why, ern, la they mad* a rate which they
calcalated would yield 1181. ? On the face of it the rate was
grosely exesisive. In like manner it was !pronely unfair.
The animal r at the perish was 9,4811.; hut die mis-
sions end underage were estimated to mount to 2,8371.

Dr. Lnahlagton reserved his judgment.

and I went to Mr. Fife. lam still suffering from the effects
of the wounds.

iiire7reia proceeded to argue that there could be no
intention on the part of Mr. Todd to commit the grave and
serious offence imputed to him, because, when he had got
into d.alcultlie, Mr. Gibson hid shown greet kindness to
him. 'there wee nupeof with respect to the knife, and it
was unlikely that Mr. Todd, supposing him to have con-
templated so serious a crime, world hthe taken his wife to
see him commit a deliberate act of taking a person'e life,
knowing, at the same time, that the person so doing was
sure of detection, as there were persons in the house. All
the witnesses had noticed his encited demeanour, and the
only Glue to the matter was, that /dr. Todd, bowed down by
misfortune, distress, ill esteem in trade, loss by the bank,
over speculation, or perhaps his own Amite, had become
confused in his mind, and that oonfusion had led to such
se:=y result. He would be shown to have been an
ualuad, a kind father, a good neighbour, end •
biome and gentle creature. The learned conned then called
the Mayor of Newcastle and other witnesses to speak to the
cheroot& of the prisoner.
He Lordship then summed up, and said that the question
the jury would have to determine was whether they thought
when the prisoner inflicted these wounds that he had the
intention of doing what he certainly had done. What passed
in a man's mind nobody could say, but they had to Judge of
a mated intentions by his sots. If they thought at to sopilt
him of attempting to do grievous bodily harm they mt
and him guilty of unlawfully wounding. Thal/anted je
then went over the evidence, end left the case to the jury,
who, having retired and been absent shout 20 minutes, re-
turned with a verdict of Guilty of utolowfully woundirly.—

A short case was taken afterwards, and the court adjourned
to Monday.

handwriting, of his not having paid me the same agreed to,
and that the letters I showed Mr. Hobson were not
forgeries but bona fide letters. That every parry belonging
to the fatuity, solicitors and all, have received notice from
me that I have never received the sums stipulated to be
paid to me, and for that very reason I claimed a share in
the estate, although Mr. Parlds and his clients did all they
could to shut me out. I also wish to state that at Craven-
court, Fleet-street, at the Boottish Hospital, of which Major
Adair is the secretary, I signed verious mortgages to the
amount of 6,0001. and upwards, and at the and leach mort-
gage there was a receipt drawn out acknowledging that I
had received a fair proportion of the property for that matt-
whereas all that I received wee 2451. I was to have
had ~ bet they kept back 61. because they got me 601. •
a day earlier than agreed upon. They then purchased my
equity of redemption for 601., which I wild on their promise
to keep good faith with me, which they did not. Upon the
death of my father, knowing they bad not a leg to stand
upon, and that I was in want at money, they got me to
sign a deed of confirmation of the past, for which they were
to have given me 2501. then, and to leave the rest until a
future day, when the notate came to be wound up. I received
part of that money when I signed the deed, and with regard
to the Net Mr. Parkin wrote to say it should be forwarded
on ray making application for it. I did make repeated appli-
cations, and got a few pounds in drib, and drabs, bat the ba-
lanoe I never got. To ;cove how they got my property into
their hands, I wish to say that the firm of Messrs. Gaston,
Agailer, and Baker, cement umnufwenters, got mortgages
from me for goods which they connected debts for and never
mild, leaving rile liable—end on. ntertiesge alone for 16001.
Hr. Parkin bought on behalf of hie clients for 2601.,
showing how little theythought at the validity of the
tdoriftcfPi-
Ald. DOM—This is no 'newer to the charge. Do you
wish the whole of this statement to be returned with the de-
positions?
Prisoner—That is what I dean, sir.
The prisoner was then committed he tea.
