dischar under the act.
Mr. &mod opposed for Messrs. Cook and Mayes, drapers,
of Southampton, and other creditors. He was his own
oolinaeL

—Two Points were raised in opposition, namely, that the
description did not contain all the residences, and that the
debts with the opposing creditor had been contracted with-
out reasoaable expectation of payment. It appeared from
the insolvent's examination that he went with hie wife and
family to reside at Southampton, by the roped of Mrs.
Bather Young, who was a person of property, and who
offered to leave her property to his children. That lady
iltoduced him to the creditors, and he could have bad
any credit. He did not consider that be had incurred
debts beyond hi means. His inventime were before
Hie public, and the proceedings with Mr. AMIIIIIIIIII Salo-
moos, and but for the manner in which he bad bees treated
as to his inventions, he should have made • large sum at

and making money by his literary labours, and fullaterx-
to pay all the debts he bad incurred.

MAMMAL:OEII2R OF A SOWER AT PORTSMOUTH.
John Sfrllen., 23, described as a hawker, was Indicted for
Use manslaughter of John Wickham, at Portsmouth.
Mr. Ponidea conducted the prosecution.
The deceased and the prisoner, with some other soldiers,
were at the Golden Bell public-house, in St. Mary-etreet,
Portunouth, on the 12th of July. The prisoner was then
in the Suffolk Militia, and the dimmed a soldier in the
Marine Artillery. Some dispute arose between the men
respecting the gun drill, and in retaliation the prisoner told
the deceased that he would bet him se. that he could not
tell bow many points of the weapon there were. Deceased
had not ss. with him, and on finding this he called those
present opprobrious names. The prisoner gave Wickham •
heavy blow, which knocked him off the settle upon which
he had been seated, and when he was ou the ground kicked
him on the crown of his head, inflicting a wound, the result
of which was that the unfortunate man died in about 20
minutes. Prisoner was very touch intoxicated, and the tie-
reseed sober, at the time of the fataloee,prrence.
The jury immediately found the premier Guilty.
The pri
soner, a respectable looking young man, said that
be came from Dorsetabire, but had not been then for ten
years, and he had no one to speak for him.
His lordship said he was loth to pass sentence in so serious
a ease without deliberation, and therefore deferred it until
to-morrow (Friday) morning.
Several prisoners were found guilty daring the day of
criminal assaults upon young girls, the victim in one case
being the stepdaughter of the accused, and sentences were
passed varying from four to nine years' penal servitude.

NORTH WALES ClRCUlT.—Cazerra, Dac.l3.

(Before Mr. Justice Blackburn.)

In the ease of John Moveconl, aged 77, who was charged
with wilfully killing his wife, Nary Anne Howard, at Stock-
port, on the 25th of September last, under the circumstances
reported in our columns yesterday, after the despatch of our
parcel Mr. Macintyre addressed the jury for the defends,
and contended that the prisoner con/d not pomibly have
committed the murder. His right hand was completely dis-
abled, and the deceased being a strong woman, in possession
of all her faculties, while the prisoner was old and decrepid,
it would have been impossible for him to have inflicted the
wounds. On two or three former oocaaious she had
attempted to hang herself after her drunken bouts. The
evidence of several of the witnesses did not correspond with
the depositions taken before the coroner, and the eirCOLII-
, stances generally attending the taunter gave presumptive
evidence only.
The learned Judge having summed up,
The Jurf retired to consider their verdict, and after an
absence of forty minutes returned into court with a verdict
of Net Guilty.

Adugameon,ust at Sandal Magna, war Wakefield, on the 15th of
A last.
Mr. Blanchard, for the prosecution, stated that the bill
spinet the prisoner preferred before the grand jury had
been ignored. He bad every reason to believe that all the
witnesses at the bock of the indictment had been carefully
examined by the grand jury, who, in the exercise of their
discretion, thrown out the bill, considering that there
was not sufficient evidence to put the prisoner ti=
trial. Since the bill had been ignored he and his
friends, Mr. Shaw and Mr. Gully, who were for the
cation, had carefully gone through the depositions, and they
had come to the conclusion that they should baddischarge
their duty both to the prisoner and also to the public at
large, b 7 declining in offer any evidence upon ON earasses
inquisition. As no evidence, therefor*, would be tendered
in the awe, the jury would have to my that the prisoner

The defence set up was that the man Green had come to

mistaken the prisoner for one of his assailants.

prietors of the Sootch ale stores in Wbitechapel, where hews
apprehended yesterday on a warrant, was brought up before
his Hr. Yardley Charged with a series of violent assaults on
wife, Sally Bache.
The prisoner, a well-dressed man, about 35 years of
ago, bad long given way to habits of intemperance,
sad had frequently beaten his wife. He had accompanied
his violence with the foulest abuse, and had also grossly
neglected his home. The permeation endured by the wife
I was most lamentable. She appeared careworn and heart-
broken. The prisoner bad at last entirely abandoned her,

come, she will obliged to seek relief from the
poor-box fund, and Mr. Yardley kindly presented

was made returnable on Tuesday. The prisoner did not
make his appearance to the summons, a warrant was
granted, and Smith, a police-constable, 415 K, was directed
to arrest the prisoner wherever he could find him.

the prisoner's whining and cringing behaviour in that court
wee chareoteristie of the cowardly manner be had sated
towards a woman he had sworn to cherish and protect.
There was no sign of repentance on the part of the prisoner
until the summon was served, and then he had sent his
wife s whining, coaxing letter, and still tried to impose on
his wife by not appearing to the gammons. The prisoner
now in a whining meaner, and act* through his fears and
• dread of the lsw, pretended to be very repentant, and
asked forgiveness, but example and a levers one wee abso-
lutely neatesary after such a long course of ill-treatment.
He sentenced the primer to three months' imprisonment
and hard labour, and to enter into his own monsieur, in
the sum of BOL to keep the peace for nine neentha.
