Mr. I burellwarden lows moved. "That in the opinion of

mcooded the motion, which was carried. A committee
having loses appointe,l. mil several subscriptioim &mimosas',
the meeting separated.
In the forenoon the neighbourhood of Mountstreet, Crew
Tenor-square. war crowded with, sad nearly blocked up bv.
excavators, bricklayers, lahourere, sad other destitute per.
eons, who have been thrown out of work owing to the in-
tensity of the frost. and who were anlicants for relief at
the workhouse of St. George's, loverequare. Nearly
His whole of them were employed at the new Victoria sta-
tics, Pimlico, in the erection of the new barracks in the
gessarrroad, kc. (which works have been stopped during
the Lt few days). A great many of them who had
families stated that their children at home were crying for
bread. As they resided in the parish and were chargeable
on the rates, the varietal gave direction, to their of
to relieve their neceseities, and the order has been liberally
attended to. Yesterday about 1.0110 lbw of bread, &0., were
diatributed among the unfortunate creatures. On Satur-
day as many as 1,200 were given away, and during the
revious dayr of last week about the same relief was
afforded each day. In the neighbourhood of the squares
of, the pariah of Maryiebone. there were Yesterday Psis
of navvies, w.dking about clamorons for relief, while at
the various poll,. eourtri, aims the announcement in the
papers of the large amount of public benevolesce, the ap-
plicants become .oily more numemus. These application',
.shrection of the magistrates, are carefully investigated
by the summoning officers of the court, sad by the police.
when, upon a report being made that the families are in
destitute circumstances, relief D. promptly afforded.
Upwards of two thousand unemployed labourers congre-
gated in the street near the Thames police-curt in
expectation of receiving the benefit of another distri-
bution of mosey from the poor-box food. The con.
fusion and excitement was very great, the street and
the front of the court-boom being completely blocked
up. A large force of police, under the direction of
Inspector Hayes and Inspector Allison, were employed to
clear a way for people on liminera, and this arduous task
was accomplished with peat difficulty, but with the greatest
kindness, forbearance, and geed humour. At last the large
plea of the station-lionse yard were throws open, and a
tremendem rash took place. No one was hurt, but the
okiihmof many poor fellows were torn to pieces in the struggle
to get a plasm near the side door of the court, by which they
were admitted 6 or 7 at a time, end proceeded along a wi-
mp into the usher's room, fronting the street, where Mr.
Imingatoo, the chief usher, doled out a shilling or six-
pence to each, until all the money (;121.) he was entrusted
to distribute was exhausted. Over 400 received one shil-
ling each, and about the same number six bra each, and a
few, we believe not more than ten or twelve, received 2s.
each. Upwards of 1,000 were sent away empty-handed,
and when Mr. Livingston announced that he had no more
money to give away, the multitude looked despairingly at
him, while many shed tears, for they had been waiting
five or six hours in the cold expecting to receive sufficient
to boy a loaf of bread for their families.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.—Jes. 14.
Sitting" at Nisi Prins is Middkees--(Before Mr. Justice
Bylee aad a Common Jury.)

GOODMAN n. ARDIN.-110G8E AGILNTW

The plaintiff in Ilia case was a Louse agent iu Baker
street, l'ortmanagtutre, and the defendant was a gentleman
possessed of considerable house property. The action was
to recover 71 per cent. cromrniasion upon 150 guineas, the
focus's rent of the house, S. laneastcr-race Re-
gent s-park and 5 per cent, upon 550 f., the Pareholo mo-
ney of the furniture in the house. The total amount of
the plaintirs claim was :MI. Gs. ; the defendant paid
NW. into court.

Mr. Serpent Shee and Mr. Henry James appeared for
the plaintiff ; and Mr. Collier, Q.C., and Mr. Kerslake for
the defendant.
The plaintiff 'a case was that at the latter end of January
or the beginning of February last, the defendant called on
him and gave him the following written instructions in
reference to the house :—" Furnished.—B, Lancaster.
=race, Regent's.park, at the corner of Primrose-hill ;
nine bedrooms, three drawing-rooms, dining and two other
sitting-rooms, coachhouse, and offices. Capital. Eight
guinea a week, or =furnished, on lease, at 150 guineas,
taking plan furniture." In Auguid Mrs. Stewart called
upon the plaintiff relative to the house, which she wanted
for her daughter, and seine correspondence took place, the
plaintiff introducing her to the defendant. The plaintiff
heard no more until the commencement of November,
when Mrs. Routh. Mrs. Stewart's daughter, informed him
that she hail taken the house. The plaintiff thereupon
sent in his claim, when the defendant replied that throe
per cent. on the rent was the commission which had been
mentioned, and that he had never paid more than five per
cent. Beyond this, that the plaintiff had been employed
simply to rent a house for the defendant, and not to let the
MC in question.
Evidence was given on both sides.
Mr. Justice Byles directed the jury that the question
upon which the verdict depended was, whether the plaintiff
was etnployed sell any other furniture than the " plan
furniture.' Cpon the question of amount the plaintiff had
called some witnesses who supported to the full his claim,
but Mr. Jones, one of his witnesses, mid he should have
charged only five per cent. on the first year's rent ; and
another of the pliuntiff's witnesses, Mr. Lomax, said his
c for selling the furniture would have been 5 per cent.
oi rthe first 100/. and 26 per cent. afterwards.
The jury found for the plaintiff for 9/. 7s. 341., in addition
to the money paid into court.

r Christmas—a precipitation for which, however, f
was not only to blame, and I cannot express, the
sincere sorrow I feel that through having unseen-
st t tied the feeling,. I entertained towards you, I
have placed you in a position far from that which
your goodness and amiability deserve. Had time per-
mitted, I should have endeavoured to have seen you on
my return from Margate, but my attendance having been
urgently required here, I was unable to do more than pass
from one station to another. Believe me when I state
most emphatically that I neither write this at the dicta•
tion of any one or under the influence of any other attach-
burnt. I have but one motive, which is to avoid placing us
both in a false position, beyond the power of recall. Dear
Fanny, farewell. Forgive me the pain I cause you, and
if in after years we ever meet again, may you
bare found some one happier than I am, and in whose
tendentas you will have forgotten all of me saws one kind
remembrance like that which I shall never cease cherishing
towards you. Permit me to subscribe myself your friend
and well-wisher, " MATTHIAS VAN IiuLST."
The plaintiff, much surprised naturally at receiving such
a letter, handed it to her brother-in-law, and he re-
plied in the following terrua

" August 21, 1080.
" Sir,—Your extraordinary conduct has so completely
overpowered and insulted the feeling of my sister-in-law
(Miss Tricker) that she feels quite inadequate to answer
your letter of the sth inst., and has therefore handed it
over to me, in order that I may do so. AU our friends and
myself are, as you must be assured, indignant at the un-
handsome, unmanly, and cruel treatment that she
has received at your hands, and that upon the
eve of your intended marriage to her. Such
conduct and outrage upon ?dm Illricker's feel-
ings cannot be allowed to pus with impunity and
unpunished ; therefore, the affair will be placed in pro-
fessional bands. Confinement to my bed from severe indis-
position has prevented my writing earlier."
After 801110 remarks from the learned counsel on the
general nature of the osee, he called
Mr. Staines, the brother-in-law. He deposed to the de-
fendant's proposing to him for his sister-in-law, and stating
that he had a clear income of 500 f. per annum. He was i
ingly accepted, and some of the wedding drams were pur-
chased. In July the plaintiff called, and saw them. He
had provided them.
Cross-examined--The defendant had been acquainted
with the plaintiff about a fortnight before he proposed to
her. He did not know till within the last three days
that the defendant was involved in pecuniary difficulties.
Re-examined—He wu induced to accept him for his
ristsr-ie-law on his statement that he was in the enjoyment
of a clear income of 500/. a year.
By the Judge—How often had they seen each other?
Witness—Almost every day the fortnight before he pro-
posed.
By the Judge—ln what way?
Witness—At his father's house.
Br the Judge—You accepted the proposal at once?
N%itnese—Yes. I saw she was very much attached to him.
The defendant's letters were thee put in and read.
This was the plaintiff', case.
Mr. Huddleston submitted there was no breach. The
defendant had written to be absolved from his contract and
had received no answer. The action was premature.
The learned judge said he thought it was a question for
the jury.
Mr. Edwin James having addressed the jury on the case,
Mr. Hudilleston addressed the jury in mitigation of
damages.

The learned Judge having summed up,
The jury returned a verdict fur the plaintiff—damages 25/.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

OLD COURT.

(Be( ure Mr. Justice Blackburn.)

27dovisw Chapman wu found Guilty of Wilful and cor-
ruPt Perjury.

Shortly afterwards the whole of the prisoners, Lewis
Robert Poole, Frederick Walter Yearn, Thomas Chapman,
and William Bellingham, were placed at the bar.
A motion was then made in arrest of judgment on be-
half of all the defendanta, in support of which Mr. Sleigh,
Mr. Metcalfe, and Mr. Poland severally addressed the court
at considerable length. The arguments were of a purely
technical character,
_ and would be quite uninteresting, and
indeed difficult to be understood by persons out of the legal
profession, sod it is therefore unnecessary to repeat them.
Mr. Justice Blackburn, after listening attentively to the
arguments of the learned gentlemen, rid he should not
arrest the judgment, or, as at present advised, reserve any
Cpoints that had beeu raised for the consideration of the
ourt of Criminal Appeal. lf, however, upon further con-
sideration he should thick that there was anything in the
technical objections that had been raised, the prisoners
should have the benefit of them.
The learned Judge then addressed the prisoners, and said
that three of them (Poole, Ventris, and Chapman) had been
originally convicted of felony, but be did not «insider him-
self justified in acting upon that verdict without hearing
more of the case, and therefore thought it right that the
other charges should be inquired into, and the result had
been that five different juries had found them all guilty,
and he had no hesitation in expressing his opinion that the
decision they had arrived at was the only one that could be
come to upon the evidence that had been laid before the
court, and that it was impossible to come to any other I
conclusion. A great many technical objections had been
raised on their behalf by the ingenuity of their counsel, sad
they should have the benefit of them, if, upon considers-
tioti' they should be found in law to be available ; but he
must say, at the same time, that he should be very
sorry if such • result should be arrived at. In
the meantime, and acting upon the belief that these
objections were not sustainable, it was his duty
to pus sentence upon then. for the offence
of which they had been convicted. It appeared to him that
Poole was the principal delinquent. There could be no
doubt that he knew perfectly well that bankruptcy was in-
evitable, and that while in this position he deliberately set
about removing his property with • view to defraud his cre-
ditors. This offence was regarded by the law as one of so
serious • character that it gave the power to pan a sentence
of transportation for life. fie should act go to that extent,
but still he felt bound to regard the CMS IS one of a very
serious character. The ogees!, was of that description that
any one committing it must be perfectly well aware that he
must necessarily add to it that of wilful and corrupt per-
jury, because be knew that he would be called upon to give
an account of the manner in which his property had been
disposed of in the Court of Baakrupts.7, and that he
must deliberately prepare to take a false oath. It was
also necessary that lie should not only wilfully commit
perjury himself, but that he should induce others to
assist him by committing the same offence, and he must
wakes that be was astonished at the amount of false
evidence which the defendant had been able to p
and at the medians with which many others appeared
inclined to commit the same offence. He hoped, how-
ever, that the result would be that all persons would
know that although false testimony might be obtained to
an extent that be should hardly have credited to be
possible in this country, it would not have the effect
of defeating the law, and that those who were guilty
of such proceedings subjected themselves to serious
punishment. Under all the circumstances, so far as
regarded the prisoner Poole, he felt it his duty to order
him to be kept in penal servitude for the space at six
years, upon the indictment for felony, and he should order
the same sentence upon the conviction for perjury ; so that
if, as he before stated, it should turn out that any of the
technical objections that bad been raised were found to be
available, he would not escape punishment, unless it should
appear that they applied equally to both charges. With
regard to the prisoner Chapman, the observations he had
made as to Poole equally applied. There could be no doubt
that be had committed perjury himself, and that he had
endeavoured to induce others to commit the same offence.
Still, however, he did not consider that he was guilty to so
great an extent in the matter, and he should therefore I
only pass upon him a sentence of fouryears' penal servitude,
the sentence being upou each charge as in the former case.
As to the prisoner Ventris, it appeared that he was clerk to
the accountants, Messrs. Quilter and Ball, and that being
sent down to Northampton by them to examine
the leeeellte Of the bankrupt, he consented, for the sake of
a bribe, to lend himself to the scheme for defrauding the
creditor' ; and he did this, knowing in his psition as clerk
to the accountants that it must be followed up by the com-
mission of the crime of wilful perjury. He did not certainly
appear to have bees tiny party to the subornation of per.
jum, by others, but still his offence was a very serious mie,
and be felt it his duty to pass upon him the same sentence
as upon Chapman, namely, four years penal servitude. With
regard to the remaining prisoner, Bellingham, he did not
consider his case in so bail • light as the others ; he did not
appear to have been any party to the original scheme of
freed, although he hail undoubtedly taken an active sharein
concealing the property after it had been removed. He had,
however, deliberately committed the crime of perjury,
and he was bound to pass each • sentence upon him as
would be calculated to deter others from committing a
similar crime, and he should order him tobe imprisoned
and kept to bard labour for eighteen mouths. The learned
judge coocluded by stating that it was necessary in cases
of perjury to levy a fine in addition to any other sentence,
and he should therefore order those of the prisoner, who
had been convicted of that offence to pay • fine of Is.
derjeant Ballantine then said that in the course of the
case it had been stated that • highly respectable gentle-
man named Tozer lied purchased a portion of the
bankrupts' stork from their establishment in New
Oxford-street, and he thought it right to state that that

THE POLICE COURTS.
Bow-STREET.

A lad named Alexander Popp!, late errand boy to M.
Henry Davis, of Oxford street, tailor, was charged with ob-
taining, by false pretences, agreat-ooat, value 31., the pro.
pertyof Mr. Dewar, the oomsdia who resides in Beaufort-
buildings, Strand.
Anne Walsh, servant to Mr. Dewar, deposed that the
prisoner called and said be was sent by Mr. Davis for Mr.
Dewar's great-coat to be repaired. As he had called before
with messages from Mr. Davis, she thought it was all right,
and gave hun the coat.
Mr. Dewar identified the coat, which was produced by
the witnees Fox. It was worth 3f. 3s. He bad given no
instructions that it should be repaired.
William Fox, assistant to Mr. Ashunt, spawnbroker in
the Edgware-road, produced the coat, which had been
pledged by the prisoner for 15s.
Mr. Davis mid the prisoner bad been about a month in
his service, and had been sent on several errands to Mr.
Dewar'a, but had never been instructed to call for this coat.
Policeman Loosely, C 46, said the prosecutor called at the
station on Sunday night and gave certain information, after
which witnew accompanied hnu to the prisoner's lodgings,
near Limon-grove, and found him there. lie said, "If I
bad known you were after me you should not have had me
so soon. I was off to-morrow morning." On the way to
the station he acknowledged that he had pledged the coat
at Mr. Ashurat's.

Mr. Davis observed that the priaoner had committed
other offences of a similar character, and had confessed to
this.

Mr. Corrie committed him for trial, observing that if he
were convicted it would be enough for Mr. Davis to state to
the judge what bad been his conduct ; but if he should be
acquitted the constable might apprehend him again on one
of the other charges.
The pawnbroker, showing some unwillingness to give up
the coat, _ .

Mr. Corrie said--Give it up at once. It is not a question
of willingnes. ; you must. -Mr. Dewar can produce it at
the trial, but be may want to wear it in the meanwhile,
and it would be inconvenient this cold weather.
CLERK ENW ELL.
_ .

Sarah Smith was charged with breaking two panes of
glaas at the St. Pancras Workhouse.
Goodwin, the gate porter, stated that on Saturday night
he had occasion to go the Somers-town police-station for
the purpose of locking up two drunken men who had made
a disturbance, and on his return he saw the prisoner, who
said she had broken two windows. The prisoner hod been
a source of great trouble to the parish, having only hurt
week been sent to a situation, but she did not keep her
place, and had since been walking the streets. The prisoner
has before had two months from this court for breaking
windows at the workhouse, and on Saturday night she said
she should like to have six months on this occasion. The
prisoner was sober, and when at the polioeatation she
again amid she hadbroken the windows.
The prisoner, in answer to the charge, said that she ap-
plied for admission, for which she thought she had a per-
fect right., but she was refused, and therefore she broke
the windows, preferring a prison to a workhouse.
Goodwin said that if the prisoner bad waited until he re-
turned she would have been admitted. All the persons who
ap lied, more than 110, were admitted.
Prisoner-1 wish to God you would sond me away for
four or five years.
Mr. I)'Eynconrt said he considered the priaoner's case a
very hopeless one. She had been guilty of wanton and
wilful mischief, and she would have to pay the damage or
go to prison for one calendar month.
The prisoner, when she was being removed, abused
Goodwin, called him bad names, and said when she came
out she would stab him, and then be transported.
