THE POLICE COURTS.

MANSION HOUSE.

John A f urrin, described u being a potman, residing in
Red Cross-street, Borough, was brought up on remand for
final examination on the charge of being concerned with
two other men (not in custody) with a robbery with
violence to Mr. Henry Tibbetts, under the circumstances
disclosed in the evidence.

It may be remembered that on the fist examination of
the prisoner it appeared that the prosecutor, who is a rent
collector carrying on his business at No. 139, Cheapside,
was returning home about half-post 10 o'clock on the
night of the 4th instant, along London-bridge, and on
arriving at the north-west end of the bridge he was
suddenly pounced upon and hustled by three
men of whom the prisoner was one, and they
attempted to drag him down the steps
which lead from the bridge to Thames-street.
They attempted forcibly to take his watch, value 151.
and the Albert chain, value 2/. 10s. The prosecutor,
however, succeeded in the struggle to enure his watch ;
but having been knocked down by his assailants, a black
leather bag, containing papers of value to the prosecutor,
win carried off. The prosecutor, on recovering himself
from the effects of the injuries he had received, got up
and pursued the prisoner, who was captured by police-con-
stable Herbert, 807, with the leather bag in his possession.
The prosecutor fully identified the prisoner, as he was the
only one of the three men whose face he had seen in the
course of the melee, and the officer further proved that he
saw the prisoner running away with the black leather bag
sworn to by the prosecutor in his possession.
The prisoner denied that he was connected with the
robbery, or that he knew anything about the transaction.
The depositions were completed,and
Mr. Alderman Wilson (who sat as locos tents, of the
Lord Mayor) committed the prisoner for trial at the next
session of the Central Criminal Court.
Two wretched-looking children, one a female, named
Nary Fox, aged 14, and the other a lad, named Thomas
Hussey, aged 10, were brought up on remand, charged
with vagrancy and begging.
From the evidence of the noble prosecutor (the Marquis
Townshend) it appeared that on the previous evening he
saw the girl rushing in and out of the European Tavern.
opposite the Mansion-house, offering flowers for sale, but
in truth begging. In fact, she solicited alms, nut only
from himself but (roma gentleman who was with him. He
gave her in charge, but she was so violent that it became
necessary to convey her to the police-station in a cab ; and
while in the vehicle in charge of police-constable Kelly,
she attempted to strangle herself, and at the police-station
her violence continued.

The evidence affecting the boy Hussey, who was shoeless
end miserably clad, went to show that he wee nightly loung-
ing about the City at all hours, and he bad been fro•

to be principally to the first and secor .1 parts of the bill,

the bill was then read a seeord t?...e, and referred to a
select committee. _ _

.......

Kr. DAWriON moved that the Lill be read a second
time that day six months. He regarded the bill with sus-
picion. The reformatory schools which existed in England
bed not Lola trial sufficiently long :a+ justify an eateriaion
of the principle to Ireland. He .aso objected to the bill
bemuse it would promote sectarian education, because it
via an attack on the national opium of education in Ire-
lad. because he saw in the bill r.o security against pro-
welytinn, sad because it would promote pauperism, and
add materially to the burdens of taxation in Ireland.

After some further discussion. in tie course of which
Mr. liugessen, Mr. Dunlop, Mr. symm, Mr. Lawson, the
OVonor Don. and Mr. C. Fortesc. supported, and Lord
0. Hamilton opposed the bill,
Mr. WALPOLE said he saw no reason why the prin-
ciple of iiiiiu.trial shoot, which had done so much good
in England. should not be extended to Ireland.
The amendment was then withdrawn, and the bill was
read a second time.
The house then went into committee on the Criminal
Lea Bil!. On clause 2, which enables the judge to award
eosti against the prosecutor in cases of frivolous prosecu-
tions, Mr. Hurst moved the omission of the clause, but on
a division the clause was carried by 'xi to 64. Rome further
progress was mole with the clauses ,when Mr.oltilders asked
if any estimate had been made as to the amount the Trea-
sury would be called upon to reimburse in respect of the
eatsuses paid to witnesses for the defence ; and Mr. Hunt
replying that it was impossible to make an estimate, a con-
versation ensued, which resulted in Mr. Gurney, who had
charge of the bill, agreeing to a motion that the chairman
report progress.

PORTSMOUTH, MARCH 13.
Some experiments were nude in the upper part
of Portsmouth harbour on Tuesday to test the realising
power of • new kind of armour-plate designed by Mr.
Wilson, • in the establishment of Messrs. Cam-
melt and Co., of Sheffield. The plate, which:ia twelve feet
long and three fest eleven inches wide, is composed at
alternate layenof iron and steel, forming, 11 the process
of welding, • homogeneous slab seven inches in thickness.
The plate was affixed to • firm and compact bulkhead,
forty-two inches in thickness, built up on board the Thun.
darer for experimental trials of this kind ; the battery
being protected by another bulkhead at • distance of ogl,
thirty-five feet from the iron plate. The intervening
spaee is not covered in, the deck of the vessel
between the two bulkheads having been removed. Five
shots wens fired at the same part of the plate from the
ordinary 68-pound smooth-bore service gun, with a charge
of 141bs. of gunpowder and • cast-iron shot, and two shots
were fired from an Armstrong 7-inch Titled gun, with
221 be. of gunpowder end • Palliser elongated chilled shot.
The result of the firing proved that the resisting power of
armour-plates manufactured on this principle is consider.
ably greater than that of plates manufactured by the onli.
nary process. The experiments were conducted by Coto.

diately on its arrival in that port, loft for Mitylene

THE NORTH GERMAN PARLIAMENT.

BERLIN, MARCH 13.

In to-day's sitting of the North German Parlia-
ment Count Bismarck made a speech in refutation
of the arguments of the party opposed to the adop-
tion of that paragraph of the constitution which
provides for a fixed and regular war budget. Count
Bismarck referred to the conflict which had taken
place between the Prussian government and the
Chamber of Deputies, and declared that the mili-
tary reform to which Prussia owed her victorious
army would never have been obtained if some-
body bad not had the courage to carry on
the government notwithstanding the resolutions
adopted by the Prussian Chamber in 1862.

Herr von Vincke deprecated any comparison be-
tween the budget arrangements of foreign coun-
tries and those of the North German Confederation,
urged the house to have confidence in the inten-
tions of the government, adding that those only
who were opposed to the unity of Germany could
object to the military paragraph of the constitu-
tion. Ho also declared that Austria's faithlessness
in the question of the Elbe Duchies was the cause
of the war, which, however, had fortunately termi-
nated in freeing Germany from foreign domination.
The diets of the different States, he said, would
scarcely oppose the resolutions of the parliament.
Herr von Vincke did not wish the establishment of
a unified state, but desired only to see secured the
existence of the North German Confederation.
The other speakers in to-day's sitting in favour of
the draught of the constitution, were Herren
Prosch and Ock, deputies from Mecklenburg, and
Count Bethusy Huc ; and against it the Saxon
deputy Herr Schaffrath, and Herr Grumbrecht
from Hanover.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.-J . 18.

Sittings at Nisi Prins in Middlesex. —(Belore Mr. Justine
Myles and a Common Jury.)
HASWELL s'. HAWKINS.
- •

This was an action to recover damages for serious injuries
suffered in consequence of a fall whilst getting upon an
omnibus.

Mr. Serjeant Parry and Mr. Macnamara appeared for the
plaintiff ; and Mr. D. Seymour, Q.C., for the defendant.
The plaintiff was a decorative artist, living in King.
street, Soho, and the defendant was the proprietor of seve-
ral omnibuses. About half-past son the afternoon of the
lot September last the plaintiff hailed in High-street, St.
Giles's, one of the defendant's omnibuses which was
going to the Victoria station. The plaintiff got
upon the step of the omnibus, intending to sit
upon the roof, but he was thrown off by a jerk
and fell into the road. He hurt his right hand so badly
that he carried it in a sling for upwards of two months.
During the whole of this time he was prevented altoge-
ther from working. His average earnings when at work
were 5/. a week. He also received • severe cut upon the
left temple, which healed in a few weeks, but one of the
results of the blow was that the retina and the optic nerve
of the right eye were injured ; and the medical evidence
was that the sight was seriously and permanently damaged.
The plaintiff also said that this interfered very much with
his power of working at his business.
The question in the cause was through whose want of
care the accident happened. Both parties agreed that the
occurrence took place opposite to the White Lion public.
house. The plaintiff's case was that the omnibus stopped,
awl that he got upon the step. With his right hand he
held the rail, and in his left hand he had a 'mailbag and a
pound of butter wrapped up in brown paper. He held
these things out to the conductor to take, no that he might
get upon the roof. At this moment the omnibus suddenly
moved forward and the plaintiff was thrown off.
The defence was that the omnibus was going down en
incline, and that it had not stopped when the plaintiff got
upon it. The conductor's back was to him at the time,
and the conductor did not know he was there until the
plaintiff nudged him to take his bag. The conductor said
he had better get inside, but the plaintiff said " no." The
conductor took the bag and called upon the driver to stop,
but before the omnibus had stopped the plaintiff fell from
the step.
Mr. Justice Byles said that it seemed to him that the
main point for the consideration of the jury was whether
the omnibus was going at the time the plaintiff put his
foot upon it. The plaintiff himself said that it was not,
and the other witnesses called for him said that they did
not know whether it wee or not. On the other hand,
four witnesses called for the defendant MOTS that the
omnibus was in motion when the plaintiff got upon it.
The jury were looked up, and after they had been in
their room for seven hours, without " meat, drink, and
flue, candlelight excepted," the, were discharged without
being able to agree upon • verdict.

IN RE R. O. H. JOHNITONi.

This wu a sitting for examination and • . The
bankrupt, Robert Gordon Hope Johnstone, desert him-
self as late of 5, King-street, St. James's, gentleman, and
since a prisoner for debt in York Castle. He ascribes his
bankruptcy to his father having refused to advance farther
money to pay his debts. He had been arrested at the snit
of Mr. C. P. Froom, of Lincoln's-inn-fields, but obtained
his release upon the adjudication of a registrar.
The accounts disclose the following results;--Creditors,
unsecured, 15,7871. 19s. dittol holding security, 15,000/4
and liabilities on bills discounted, 2,00 W, ; the property in
the hands of creditors is returned at 3,5001., but there are
no assets. The secured creditor is Mr. J. J. Hope Johnstone,
of AnninFdale, Dumfriesshire. for 15,00 W., in reference to
whose claim the bankrupt states :--" In 1882 I gave this
creditor a charge upon my reversionary interest under my
father's marriage settlement to secure to him the repay-
ment of any sums he might be called upon to pay for ad-
vances made to me. The amount of my interest therein
is 5,0001., the present value being about 3,5001."
Mr. W. Jones appeared for a creditor; Mr. Linklater, on
behalf of the waiver, offered no opposition; and an im-
mediate order of discharge was granted without remark.

THE WEEKLY PRESS.

Treating of the rumoured revolt against Mr.
Gladstone, the Spectator, after stating the grievances, real
or imaginary, proceeds:—ls it come to this, that the
liberals are so full of petty egotisms, of personal suscepti-
bilities to be soothed, th►t they can make no sacrifice for
the sake of a great man, and would even prefer a small
man who should make all the sacrifices for the sake of
them! Do they not know that the party has at present
far more need of Mr. Gladstone than Mr. Gladstone has of
the party! Would they have a trimmer who may repre-
sent the colourless average Philistinism of the liberals,
rather than a statesman above the party, who may give it
• little of his own nobility of purpose ? Would they have
smother minister who would pLicidly moralise over the
oddity of the Irish habit of conspiracy, and propose an
infinite aeries of suspensions of the Habeas Corpus,
r►ther than startle his party by laying the axe
to the root of the tree! Do they want "a more
common-place man, sir, who will not always be
proposing something fresh to take ►way your breath, like •
crusade against charitable trusts, or paying off the national
debt?" If they do, no doubt they can easily get him. If this
cabal bursts into open action the country, with whom Mr,
Gladstone is more popular than any other man, will ascribe
it, and not untruly, to the decomposing influence of mere
personal 'selfishness and vanity, and would feel that the
crime of abandoning him is due to the growing laxity of
fibre in the liberal party of our unreformed parliament.
And if these malcontents wish to apply such • stimulus
to the reform movement as will at once overcome all op-
position and give • quasi-dictatorial power to Mr. Glad-
stone, they cannot do better than cabal against his leader-
ship, and present to the nation the disgraceful spectacle
of a conspiracy amongst the liberals to compass a chronic
anarchy, by suppressing the one man of genius and hearty
popular sympathies whom it contains.
The Examiner also considers the subject of " the
liberals and their leaders." To whatever extent there is
a want of unity between the whigs and Mr. Clailgtone, it
is in the opinion of the Ex snafu,- an affair perhaps of

SATURDAY -EVENING, JANUARY 19, 1867.

The money sought to be recovered was said to have been
lent so long ago as 1848, and the plaintiff contended that
the Statute of Limitations did not operate, as small in.
stalments had been repaid within the last few years.
The defence was that the money was not lent, but pee-
vented as a gift, at a time when the plaintiff lived in
more prosperous circumstances, and letters from the plain-
tiff appealing to the defendant for small loans to relieve
his distress, and in which no allusion was made to the debt
of 751., were put in evidence to show the improbability of
the plaintiff's story.

SERIOUS FIRE IN THE CITY.-(THIS DAY.)

At half-past 8 o'clock this morning, a fire broke
out at No. 4, Skinner's-place, which is approached by
an antique wooden gateway in Sise-lane, Watling-
street. The building itself, which has a large garden
in front, is one of great antiquity, and in the olden
time was the residence of wealthy City merchants. The
fire was discovered by the servant-girl while at work,
and the flames quickly extended over the ground-floor in
the south wing, occupied by Messrs. Farmer, Painter, and
Pape, Australian merchants. They then spread to the
first floor in the offices of Messrs. Bolt and Lewis, soli-
citors, and afterwards reached the offices of Mr. E. San-
dell, accountant, on the second floor. The engines from
the Watling-street station were soon on the spot,
accompanied by Captain Shaw, and othersfollowed
in rapid succession. In the mean time • num-
ber of books, documents, Ire., were saved from de-
struction. By 10 o'clock the firemen succeeded in staying
the progress of the flames, but not before one side of the
building had been destroyed, and considerable damage
done by water to the houses Nos. 5 and 6, partly occupied
by Messrs. Mayer and Co., agents for foreign paper
manufacturers, and Mr. Jas. Murray, wine merchant.
The origin of the fire could not be ascertained.

any officer of the board, to undertake works for any oor•
poration or other parties, either as consulting engineer or

was, after a short discussion, carried, and the board ad-
journed.

METROPOLITAN BOARD OP WORKS.

The weekly meeting of this board was held yes-
terday; Sir JOHN THWAITES in the chair.

CHISWICK, ITS SL"Will AND TIM THANES.
A deputation attended from the inhabitants of Chiswick
to present a memorial praying the board to take steps to
include the pariah of Chiswick within the area under their
jurisdiction
_ _

Mr. LAXIIIN, after a few words, moved that the subject
be referred to the Works Committee, which wu agreed to.

BARRIERS IN PUBLIC THOROUGHPAREq.
Mr. SHAW moved, pnnuant to notice, "That a petition
be presented by the board to parliament to repeal any
authority given to private individuals to erect gates or
barriers across streets or thoroughfares, so as to obstruct
the traffic therein, in cases where the maintenance of such
streets or thoroughfares is paid for out of the public
rates."

Mr. REALEr seconded the motion.
Mr. BicitsitosoN did not think that by petitioning par-
liament they would get rid of the nuisance.
The CHAIRMAN suggested that there might be a diffi-
culty in the way, as persons had taken premises on the
understanding that they should have quiet possession of
them, and if the barriers were removed it might be consi-
dered as a breach of the covenant between owner and
lessee.

Mr. HALL said it was most unjust that the ratepayers
should be compelled to keep these streets in repair, and
not have the use of them. If they were permitted to
pass they were compelled to wait until some official fetched
a key to open the gate that obstructed the way.
Mr. NTCHOLAT also strongly supported the motion, and
instanced that the parish of Marylebone had unsuccessfully
taken up the subject years ago.
Eventually the following motion was put and c►rried
unanimously :—" That it be referred to the Works and
General Purposes Committee to take into their considera-
tion the existence in the streets of the metropolis of many
barriers, gates, and private tolls, to the obstruction of the
general traffic, with power to take counsel's opinion
thereon, and to report their recommendation to the
board."

TER TORGRRIDS DT ♦ SURGEON'S ASSISTANT.

Henry Hodgson, 22, surgeon's assistant, was indicted for
certain acts of forgery, with intent to defraud the Bank of
Mr. Poland conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Metcalf
appeared for the defence.
The prisoner pleaded guilty. It appeared that about •
year ago he had been an assistant to Mr. Pedlar, chemist,
Fleet-street, and left to become • student at St. Bartholo-
mew's Hospital. In August last, learning that Mr. Why-
sall, who had been a fellow assistant with him at Mr. Pod.
lees, was possessed of 2251. in the Three per Cent. Consols,
be went to Mr. Mortimer, • stockbroker, in Old Broad.
street, and representing that he was Mr. Why-
aall, required him to effect a transfer of the
stock standing in his name in the books of
the Bank of England. Mr. Mortimer, after
making some inquiries, sold the stock the same after-
noon and gave the prisoner • cheque for the amount,
lees ;he commission and expenses, and the prisoner forged
the name of Mr. Whysall to the transfer and the stock
receipt. In • similar manner he forged • transfer for 1501.
New Three per Cent. Stock standing in the name of
another acquaintance named William James Bentley. In
this instance he called upon Mr. Austin, stockbroker, 2,
Capel-court, and re resenting that he was Mr. Bentley,
produced • card of Mr. William Taylor, surgeon, 59, John.
street-road, with the name of Mr. Bentley written on the
back of it, in Mr. Taylor's handwriting. Believing this
recommendation, he gave the prisoner a letter to Mr.
Taylor, which, as he believed, the prisoner took to Mr.
Taylor, and returned with it signed. Mr. Austin then
effected the sale of the stock, and handed the produce to
the prisoner.
Mr. Metcalfe urged that several members of the
prisoner's family had been confined, and requested his
lordship to delay the case till to-morrow, when he would
bring forward the handy doctor.

CITILTBATION TN THI WEST. —According to the
Western Gazette a young woman at Somerton, in Somerset-
shire, a few days since said she was bewitched, that the
witch wu • certain old woman in the town, and that the
letter was then at home frying toads to effect her hellish
purposes over people. A number of ignorant wretches
went to the old woman's residence and found her an in-
valid in bed. They, however, searched the house, parti-
cularly the chimney, end raked the ashes out of the grate
to discover signs of her devilish cuisine, but could find
nothing. The witch has always borne the character of •
harmless old woman.

church after the service is concluded, until he leave. the

young man leaving the church with others, before the
clergymen bad left, was deliberately struck by the latter
for doing so. The young man has taken out a summons
against the el for en assault.

says :—" In acting as it has done, freely and spon-
taneously, the Italian government has not only
given evidence of its good faith but also a proof of
its strength, since it has not to fear any revolu-
tionary passions, and can dominate and overpower
Garibaldi. Such an act will naturally greatly re-
joice the friends of the cause of order and civilisa-
tion. All will applaud the vigilance and energy of
the Italian cabinet, and we shall regard this oc-
currence as a new guarantee for the maintenance of
general tranquillity."

THE ACCOMMODATION TO THE LONDON POOL

Heviewing the proposals urged yesterday upon Lord
Derby by Mr. Torrens and a deputation, tending to render
it incumbent on local authorities to purchase and pull
down any dwellings which might be judicially condemned,
the money being in the first instance provided from the
Treasury, and any deficit being charged on the metropo-
litan rates—the Times comes to the conclusion that the
great demand which exists for good houseroom for the
poor can be met without measures so exceptional. In
the opinion of our contemporary, the best service which
the members of this deputation could do to the cause they
have at heart would be to encourage and assist in the for-
mation of a large company which should demonstrate
practically the remunerative character of an investment
in building houses for the poor. The Times believes this can
be done, and is therefore confident it will be done ; and
deprecates the hasty interference of the legislature, lest it
should complicate a problem which ought, unquestionably,
to be solved by private enterprise. The only assistance
which can be legitimately offered by the government is to
lend money to the promoters of such a company on easy
terms, and this advantage has been already provided.
The Herald thinks that Mr. Torrens and his friends
should have gone better prepared with facts and figures,
showing that his scheme was capable of commercial suc-
corer. If the government does anything, it must be on
reliable data, clearly demonstrating that such success is
possible. The task of getting together the necessary
proofs is one peculiarly within the province of such a
society as that which has been formed in the interest of
evicted tenants, and therefore it should have been done
before they asked the countenance of the executive.
