COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.—MAY 11.
Sittings at Nisi Prins for Middlesex after term.—(Before
Mr. Justice Wightman and Common Juries.)

UM V.

This was an action for semaulting and seising t!.e eon of
the plaintiff, and giving him into the custody of a police-
man.

Mr. Serjeant Fairy and Mr. Pearce appeared for the
plaintiff ; Mr. Dunbar for the defendant.
The plaintiff is a chemist and druggist, carrying on busi-
ness atWoolwich, and he sued as the next friend of his son,
• young lad of &omit 18 years of age, who la apprenticed
to • Mr. Walker, a surgeon, of Blackheath. The defendant
is a general pmetkioner, also of Woolwich, and it was
alleged that at the time when the occurrence took place
which gave rise to this action • rather bad feeling existed
between the plaintiff and the defendant.
It wand seem that on the 7th of December last the
plaintiff's son went to the defendant's shop for the purpose,
as was stated by the plaintiff, of making some inquiries
respecting the Metropolitan Hospital of the defendant's
atice, • young man named Hughes. However,
whilst in the shop, the plaintiff's son, Hughes, and
another lad got larking, and in that. romps they managed to
break the defendant's lamp. Hearing the crash the defend-
ant entered the shop, but on catching sight of him, the
plaintiff's son and the other lad decamped, young Keys
making his exit by the private door. The defendant giving
chase WOO captured Keys and brought him back to the
shop, and it war the grasp which the defendant took of the
young gentleman in effecting this capture that constituted
the assault complained of. The defendant then called in a
itummin plain clothes, and he had Keys marched off to
an
which was about 200 yards off giving him in
charge for sing in his house for an unlawful purpose. How-
ever, after Keys had been detained for about ten minutes in
the wadi -room at the station-house, the defendant, at the
recommendation of the superintendent, withdrew from the
charge, and Master Keys was forthwith let loose. At the
station the plaintiff appears to have recognised the annoy.
ing conduct of his ma towards the defendant, for he pro-
, rinsed that it should not be repeated, and he offered to make
good any donne he might have done ; but subsequently, a
I quarrel taking piece between the parties, the present,
action was brought.
' The defence was " not guilty by statute," the Malicious
Trespass Act, 7 and 8 Vic, cap. 30. And in order to get
over the inconsistency between this defence and the charge
entered spinet the plaintiff's son of "being on the premise,
for an unlawful purpose," itwas urged that afterall diddle
but • vague expression, and that the defendant had not
meant thereby to impute • criminal intent on the part of
the son. Up to the moment of the giving the young man
in charge the defendant had acted with perfect legality; and
if afterwards in entering the charge he had =described
the grounds on which he had acted against him that was
through his ignorance of the law.
The jury found in answer to his lordship's charge that
at the time the defendant gave the plaintiff's son in charge
he did not believe Keys had been on the premises for an
unlawful , and therefore their venlict was for the
plaintiff— 15f.

RT. ALRYN r. TBg OENCRAL OMNIBUS COMPANY.
Mr. Ruddleston, Q.C., and Mr. Griffiths for the plain-
tiff ; Serjsant Tozer, Mr. T. Atkinson, and Mr. Day for
the company.
This was an action by Mr. St. Albyn, the singer, and who
at present holds an t as one of the chorus at
Her Majesty's flask%far iajarise dace to his wife, Emma
St. Albyn, by the negligence of the defendant's driver or
conductor, in musing an omnibus to more on whilst Mrs. St.
Albyn was in the act of alighting from it, whereby the lady
was thrown on her back "phut the step of the omnibus,
and so injured herself thereby that a missaniige was
brought about. The omnibus in question was eased to
have started from the Bank to Maida-hill, and on the 34th
of January list the plaintiff's wife took her place in It, de-
siring to be set down at freed-skeet. Aocordingly when
the omnibus got to Plead-street it pulled up, but in conse-
quence of the opposition being very brisk on the road, it
moved on again whilst Mrs. St. Albyn was being set down,
and hence the accident.

ExsArsAnos or TlOOlll4 ma CARADA.—A
detachment, eoasistiag of 14 oaken and 190 non-commis-
sioned oaken and privates of the 65th Regiment, embarked
at Liverpool yeetaislay on baud the White Star clipper
Arabian. Captain Roper, belonging to Messrs H. T. Wilson
and Chamben. The vowel sale to-day (Saturday) for
Quebec, and will call at Queenstown, where she will embark
120 additional soldiers.
Her Miqesty's ship Mowers., with drafts for
Malta and Gibraltar, sailed from Queenstown on the morn.
ing of the 10th.

The defence to the action was twofold. To the first plea
it was contended that the lady was in the hands of the
doctor at the time the accident occurred, and that she had
been accused of great rashness by her friends in trusting
herself out of doors at such a time. It was quite an after-
thought to attribute her subsequent Motes to the slight
fall which she got, and, indeed, it had not occurred to Mn.
Bt. Albyn herself to mention the circumstance of the fall
until some time afterward,. But the main ground of de-
fence was, that the omnibus by which she travelled did not
belong to the company. On that line there were some
sixty omnibuses running which did not belong to the com-
pany, neither had the company any conductor on the route
with red whiskers, and whowore a leather wide-awake with
a button on the crown of it. The company certainly had
two omnibuses with the name of "John Bull" on them,
and on the apron of one of these the title " General Omni-
bus Company" might have been marked ; but then the
conductors of all the omnibuses who must have
Pined-street about the time when the accident was d
alleged
to have occurred, when called, united in declaring it never
took place.
However, Mrs. St. Albyn positively asserted that she
saw the name of "Bull" on the omnibus she rode by, as
also that the driver's apron had " General Omnibus Cm-
piny" marked on it ; and her husband declared that he saw
the name of " Church," the company's secretary, inscribed
on the front of the omnibus. The evidence was thus con-
flicting as to the identificetion of the omnibus in
The jury found for the plaintiff ; damages, 1

FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE.

By Beam Charmll—When Mr. Hatch was in my room 1
law Mrs. Hatch in her own mom_

Baron ChannisU—Then she could am all that took place
Witness—Yes. (This answer created great serration in
the court.)
Baron Channeß—How far was Mrs. Hatch from you at

Witnese—Not very far.
Baron Channell—As fez es you are from me? (About 10
feet.)
Witness—Not so far.

Baron Channall—Where was Eugenie
Witness—l think she was on the blanket, and under the

Caroline Plummer, the mother of the defendant, was the
next witness. She said—l remember taking my daughter
Engage to Mr. Hatch's an the 11th of August. 1 had
dinner, or either I should say luncheon, with them. I did
not ask Mr. Hatch, or any one else in the house, to allow my
daughter to go to his bed in the morning, but I did say that
she bad been used to be petted. and I wished them to be
kind to her. Mr. Hatch thee said that she should be treated
as well as his own child, and she was in the habit of com-
ing into his bed in the morning, and Eugenie should do the
same. I never made the suggestion that she should go to
his bed. A fortnight after this I took my other daughter,
Stephanie, to Mr. Hatch's, and during the whole day
I had no opportunity of speaking to my daughter Eugenie
alone, either Mr. or Mrs. Hatch was with us the whole
time. When it was getting near the time for my
departure I took the child to the closet, which was the
only place I could get to be with her alone. She buret out
crying immediate) and asked me to take her home with
me. She a very unhappy. I returned the next
day to Mr. tch's, but I cannot tell what made me do so.
The witness,.who &ppeared to be of a very excitable tem-
perament, Qs. mid—l am nervous, you know. I fancied
something was wrong, and I went back. I did not rush
into the scheel-room, but went in quickly, and I said,
"Halloo, Limy tanning about the passage and my children
in the school-room! I thought there were to be no favourites
here." I saw Mr. and Mrs. Hatch shortly after-
wards, and told them I was come to take my
children away. While the things were being pecked
up. I went with my daughter to the closet,
and eke told me Mr. Hatch was such a disgusting
man. I asked what she meant, and she made a 000111111.11iCA-
WU to me. She did not state to the full extent what had
occurred, and I said, " Nonsense !" and nothing more
curred. I spoke to my husband, and he entertained the
same opinion that I dit There was no time for anything
more to be said, as we had to Lave by the eight o'clock train.
I am sure that Stephanie did not say anything to me in the
house. I gave the child Lucy a Noeh's Ark and Is. be-
fore we left. We had hardly got out of eight of the house
in the cab when Eugenie told us what Mr. Hatch had
done to her. We did not arrive at our residence in Wilt-
shire until the middle of the night, and on the following
morning we sent for our medical man, and Mr. Pratt,
our solicitor, came on the same day, and after this
we communicated with the bishop. Our object in
the was to spare our children the pain of a public exposure.
We subsequently received notice to attend at Wandsworth,
Wray the magistrates, but on the day before we were in.
formed Mr. Hatch had resigned, and that our attendance
was sot necessary, and we then obtained a warrant for Mr.
Hatch's apprehension, but it could not be executed because
he went away. I afterwards received from Mrs. Hatch the
letter that has been referred to.

Orose-exentinsd—Both on the 25th and the 26th I had no
opportunity of being alone with Eugenie except in the
water-chine [The witness spoke this in a loud voice, and
she at the same thee maid, " I like to answer firm.,
(A laugh.) I swear I was not in • bedroom with Eugenie
and
artr;7 husband alone on either of those days. The "other
were always present.
Mr. James—Who do you mean by the " other party?"
Witnees—Mr. and Mrs. BAWL Stephanie never told me
in the bed-room that Mr. Hatch had behaved indecently
to her. If any one has said this it is • deliberate falsehoo&
lam sure she did not tell me so herself. I swear that I did
not walk round the kitchen-prdea with my husband and
my two daughters co either of those two days, and that I
told my husband what Stephanie had told me. She had not
told me at that time. I may hays stated at the former
trial that Stephenis told me Mr. Hatch was dressed, and
that he unbuttoned his troween, but if I did say
so it is a mistake of mine ; she never did say so. I re-
member the child told me that she noticed Mr. Hatch had
a very shabby night-shirt on, or that it was pieced or
mended. I don't know whether I have mentioned this
before, but I was surprised that the child should make
such an observation. I don't know whether my husband
stopped the cab and brought me some beer ; if he did it was
not • criminal thing. I have not had any brandy-and-
water to-day. I did have some yesterday if I required it.
To-day I have had sherry wine. I cannot remember
whether I had any brandy-and-water yesterday, but I had
the day before. I should like to have some brandy-and-
water or sherry now. (A laugh.) I did not drink beer
with the poinciana after the conviction of Mr. Hatch. A
bottle of stout was sent for, and I drank part of it, and the
remainder was left for the policemen.
Mr. James--How many schools has your daughter
been at t
Witness—As many as I thought proper to send her to—
eight or ten, perhaps. She was only a fortnight at °as—
h was quite long enough. It is very probable that I
threatened to publish a statement that the proprietress of
this school had not kept her agreement with me.
Mr. James—Did she go to school at Southampton
Witness—l dare say you know all about it. (A laugh.)
Mr. James—Why did you take her away from South-
ampton ?
Witness—Because she was not treated properly. lam a
very particular woman, although I do take a little brandy
and water and sherry wine, and I should be very glad to
give you some if you required it. (A laugh.)
Cron-examination continued—My daughter was at three
different schools at Bath. There was a reason for her re-
moval from each ; and besides, • change does her good.
(Laughter.) She told me from the first that she did not
like the Hatches," and she was very anxious to get away.
I swear I did not hear outside that the gardener had been
examined this morning. Mr. Plummer read a portion
of the report in the newspaper last night. I cannot re-
collect whether Eugenia told her sister what bad
taken place during the day in court. I did not
object to my child going to Mr. Hatch's bedroom, because I
was anxious that there should not be any jealousy between
the two children. My youngest child cannot read. Ido
not wish to hurry her education, on account of her health
being delicate. Ido not go regularly to church or any other
Plea of worship, but Mr. Plummer takes the children to
church occasionally. I had not taken my children to church
during the year 1850, but I am ea good as those who do go.
I have had a had foot, and my spirits have been failing
eines I lost one of my children.
Mr. James—l ask you, without reference to any bodily
ailment, was it your habit ass mother to take your children
to chapel or church?
Witness—No, it was not.
Cross-examination continued—l did not cause the great
bell of oar house to be rung upon my return home to ode.
brute the &eviction of Mr. 'Hatch.
. . . _

Be-examined—l should say that both the children had
told these stories before we arrived at Paddington, but I
am certain they had done so before we arrived at home.
My daughter was never removed from any school on ac-
ant al mime niduct. She was beloved by all. My children
have beets taught to say their prayers—the Lord's Prayer—
not the Belief—the prayer for their parents, and little
hymns. My husband used to take the children to church,
but he didnot go every Sunday, because sometimes he was
prevented by the weather or eons. other cause.
At the remission of the examination of this witness the
trial was again adjourned.

SUSPICIOUS OCCIIIISIDICE AT PETERBOROUGH.—
Considerable excitement has been created in this city and
neighbourhood by the proceedings of • coroner's jury, which
boa held three sittings during the week. It was summoned
to inquire into the death of a fine young woman, 18 years
of age, named Mary Jane Pope. She is the daughter of
respectable parents, and on Sunday attended the Baptist
chapel. During the service she was taken ill, lost the use
of her legs, and was convulsed. Being removed home, a
surgeon was sent for, and afterwards a physician. Both
these gentlemen came to independent conclusions that the
girl had been poisoned. She, however, denied having taken
anything. Death ensued in a short time after the
seizure, and the symptoms of the attack and the
rigidity which set in directly after death confirming the
suspicions of poisoning, an inquest was held. The pose
'Norte's' examination strengthened the opinion of the medi-
cal gentlemen, and led them to conclude thet she had died
from the effects of strychnine. It was ascertained that on
Saturday deceased purchased six-pennyworth of Battle's
vermin powder, but no motive for suicide seems to exist.
From the evidence given to the jury it appears that in 1854
an infant of the same family died suddenly of convulsions,
that in April last another child died after a abort illness
showing similar symptom., and that last week a boy, 8 rears
of age, was seized with convulsions exactly corresponding to
those under which the deceased girl laboured ; but prompt
I medical assistance being obtained, he recovered. It is also
known that of a family of eleven children four only are now
living. Under these circumstances the coroner and jury
have submitted the intestines and other portions of the body
of Mary P to Dr. Letheby for analysis, and the inquest
is adj for a week.
THE LATE MURDER IN LIVERPOOL.—On Thurs-
day the Liverpool borough coroner opened an inquiry into
the death of a lad named Patrick Healey, who it was alleged
had been murdered by two youths named William WM Ulan
and James Halloran. It appeared that the deceased was
passing along Bisphamatrest on Wedneadsy night week,
when he was set upon by M'Millan and Halloran, both of
whom repeatedly struck Healey on the heed and face with
a poker until he became senseless. He was loft lying in the
street until some people passing along bad him taken up
and conveyed WU= residence of his mother, a widow. The
poor fellow lingered until daturde • night, when be died.
The above facts were corroborated by several witnesses.
Dr. Warburton, who had made a poet stonier exeminatiou
of the body, stated that be found several wounds on the
head and face ; the skull was fractured pa= the vertex,
and there was extravasation of blood upon the scalp. In his
opinion death was caused by concussion of the brain, the
result of external violence. After a short consultation the
jury returned a verdict d "Wilful murder" against Wil-
lie= and James Halloran, who were. then cont.
milted for trial at the seat South Lancashire
