COUNTY COURT.---YESTERDAY.

(Before.W. A: HULTON, Esq., Judge.)
Gitynt in •REDMOND.—The plaintiff in this. case was
Mr. "William Grey, County -Court solicitor ; the' de,
• fendant Mr. James Redmond,. draper, Scotland-road,
who did not appear. Mr. Grey stated that he brought
the action to recover £l5 ss. 10d., being monies paid by.
-him on account of defendant. Mr. Grey asked from
his Honour an order for immediate commitment; as
the money had been paid on fraudulent representations
being made to him by the defendant. The circumstances
were as follows :—Redmond having been sued by Messrs.
Cooper and Son. of Manchester, for £44 65., he em-
ployed the plaintiff to conduct his :case 'on the action,
representing to him that his debts were not above £80;
that he had a considerable quantity of household
furniture, which he described, and placed in the hands
of plaintiff a book, showing that he had paid £37 into a
building society, together with a note of hand for £4O.
In consequence of all this, Mr. Grey went to Manches-
ter, and arranged for his client with Messrs. Cooper,—
disbursing, at the same time, the amount he at present
sought to recover. Shortly afterwards he-was informed
-by Mr. Reynold's solicitor that defendant had executed
a deed of assignment on behalf of his creditors for £4OO.
—His. Honour considered that the false pretences were
made after Mr. Grey had undertaken to pay. He,
therefore, could not give.- an order for immediate com-
mitment, but would order payment forthwith.
DURAND in Burae.—,ln this case, which was reported-
in our paper on Saturday. (Mr. lingo anpearice.,for the
plaintiff and Mr. Deighton for the defendant.)'his Ho-
nour delivered the following judgment :—I have con-
sidered the only point which I reserved at the hearing
of this case on Friday last; and I have come to the
conclusion that the- plaintiff has made out his claim for
two days' demurrage. lam led 'to this conclusion by
the • following reason :—the defendant contracted . to
load •the vessel in port by the 24th September; and
I hold, under the peculiar wording of the contract,
that he had undertaken to deliver the remainder of
the cargo on board within a reasonable Cele :after that
date. He did complete the loading of part of the cargo,
according to his contract, on the 24th September, and
the-whole of the cargo was loaded on the 14th of Oct:
The question, therefore, was, whether the latter part of
his contract was performed. The evidence before us en
the point was scanty, and in my opinion it left the effect
of the original charter party of this vessel entirely an-
touched. By that charter party the term for loading
the entire- cargo was fifteen days; and I. think that I
may safely adopt that term in a reasonable time, within
which the .latter part of the contract ought -to have
been completed. The charter party was recently entered
into ; the plaintiff was a' party to it ; and the defendant,
as a broker to the London firm, had effected it. It is true
that that contract was for the loading of the entire cargo;
bat., on the other hand, there was a recognised cause of
delay in the execution of this contract. frOm the substi-
tution of the Stanley-dock for the river as the- place of
loading. The heeling of the remainder of the cargo
under this contract may, therefore, properly be placed
on the same footing as the loading of the entire cargo
under the orignal charter party. -Now, therewere twenty
days between the 24th September and the 14th October;
hut as three of those days were Sundays, I find that there
were seventeen working -days between 'these- dites, and
consequently that the loading of the cargO occupied two
days more than was warranted by the contract. The
plaintiff, therefore, can claim demurrage for these two
days, at the rate of £5 17s. per day, and I direct that
the verdict be entered for the sum of £ll 14s.

COMMITMENTS,—Orders were given for the commit-
ment of the following persons for non-compliance with
orders of the Court :—Peter Cunningham, 13 Court,
Chatham-street—ten days. Benjamin Barker, 1, Gillot-
place, Kilshaw-street, West Derby-rlad--fiTteen days.
William Spencer, carter. at= Croxtetli-hall—fifteen days.
Ann Lee, 3 Court, Great Howard-street—five days, to
issue in a-month. Henry Leather, 86 Dablin-street—
ten days.

INSECTS ON TREES, .STIRUBS, AND PLANTS,—lnstantly and
effectually destroyed, and futurely prevented, by Greer's Patent
Anti-Vermin Lotion, 503. per gallon (sufficiently strong• dLnted
with six gallons of water), at the Anti-Vermin Office', 49,
Brownlow-hill. •

THE •GREAT EASTERN IN A STORM.:--TIiCTC was a
great probability during Thursday evening and night
that the ship's anchors would be slipped, and that she
would steam out into the Irih Channel, for the glass
fell quickly, and a squally wind set in from the •`N-.E.,
that being the only wind which could make the ship's,
position at Holyhead at all questionable as to safety:
The fires had been "banked up" for a few days;
and about six o'clock on Thursday evening, steam was
ordered to be got up quickly. This was ,one, and.
between seven and, eight o'clock the paddles were
several times moved slowly, so as to ease the strain
upon the single anchor to which the ship was riding.
She dragged very slightly, if at all, and a second anchor
having been dropped, all was considered tolerably. safe.
The steam was, however, kept up all night. There
were some very heavy squalls about half-past six on
Friday morning, and storms ce hail and wind continued
at short intervals up to two- o'clock ; but to that time
the Great Eastern was steady and safe at her anchorage..
Several times during the .forenoon the hail stood an
inch or two thick upon the ship's decks. So squally
was it, that about half-past one it was ordered that no
more visitors should be brought off, and a few hundreds
of drenched excursionists found' themselves compelled to
pass an uncomfortable night at rlolyhead, 'with the
-frospect of nothing like a bed, or to depart without the
expected visit to the big ship.

THE WAKEFIELD ELECTION
COMMISSION.

SIXTEENTH DAY,

CONFESSIONS OF PERJURY.-ADJOURNMENT
OF THE INQUIRY.

The Royal Commissioners resumed at eleven o'clock
on Monday morning.- The first witness was

Mr. Thomas Alder, jun., corn factor, who said—l
canvassed for Mr. Charlesworth, in company with
William Shaw, spirit merchant; and sometimes with the
candidate himself.. If, during the excitement of the
election, I had thought that I could have done any
"good," I should have made an offer to an elector ;
but, to my knowledge, I never did so. The allegations
to the contrary are made by a returned convict. I paid
the non-electors, and, through Mr. Smith, Of Manches-
ter,.the " rthighs." I paid £35 the first week, £2OO the
second, and £650 the third. Perhaps I paid another
£lO9 the last week. The number of men who were em-
ployed on our side began with 13, and ended with 600. I
should think the other side engaged more men—three
to one throughout the election. Every Conservative
voter's house in the borough was marked with a cross,
and a regular patrol was kept up night and day. The
men on our side were employed in preventing respect-
able people from being insulted, and I do not think 600
police too many for the purpose. I was several times in-
sulted, bat I cannot recollect any one else who was: I
received the money from Mr. J. •L. Fernandes, jun. I
will swear that I believe Serle did not bribe, or did not
send other people to bribe. I have heard that our hotel
bills amount to £l,OOO, inclusive of Mr. llaWorth's
£lll. I never spoke to Mr. Fernandes on the general
expenditure of the election. I • once esti:tutted Mr.
Charlesworth's expenses at £l,ooo,'and Mr. Leatham's
at £14,000. .(Laughter.) I •now 'believe that Mr.
Charle.sworth's expenses will exceed my first estimate.
I never said that -Mr. Alfred Ash received. anything for
voting—he does not possess a vote. I may have said
that he. received money forhis services, but I had no rea-
son at all for saying so except a little animus.
Mr. Alfred Ash here rose and said that the evidence
of the witness' was one tissue of untruths; but the chief
commissioner remarked that they Could not permit one
gentleman to contradict another while he was giving
evidence. -

The witness.continued —Alfred Goldthorpe, a sweep,
told me that ha was offered £lO to vote for Mr. Leatham,
by Mr. Alderman Harrison, who mistook him for another
sweep named Dawson. I may also state that a man
named Mieklethwaite pledged to 12,e neutral, but about
a quarter to four, on the polling day, Mr. Harrison and
Curtis saw him ; one took 'him to the poll, while the
other went to the committee-room.

Mr. William Walker, agent to the governors of the
Wakefield charitie.3, and sc,cretary to the Corn Exchange
Buildings, denied' positively that be ever canvassed a
voter named Tate, either in conillany with Mr. Charles-
worth, or at any other time.
.Mr 3. George Senior, the wife of the voter received
£3O from the Leathani party and afterwards voted for
Mr. Charlesworth, stoutly denied that her husband
rceeived anything for this little act of eccentricity. -
Mrs. Perkin, Globe Inn, said it was. a stranger who
ordered dinner for forty or; fifty of Mr. Charlesworth's
colliers on the nomination day. He afterwards mid the
bill, but she never heard his name.

Joseph Backhouse, plumber, said that two or three
weeks after the election, Edwin Foster told him that he
had Tec=ived £4O• from Mr. T. K. Sanderson to vote for
Mr. Charlesworth.

Edwin Foster, re-called, denied in the most positive
terms that he ever stated anything of the kind. Back-
house, some days before the election, offered him £l5 to
go out of the town. •

7 Joseph Backhouse, in equally positive terms, contra.-
dieted Foster, and denied ever making any offer to him.
Foster told him that he had to come from Rotherham to
vote, and on applying for his travelling expenses, Mr.
Sanderson said that he had received quite enough for
his vote without having anythinc, else to pay.
Foster also flatly contradicted this statement.
Benjamin Clarke voted for Mr. Leatham. He made
two or three. indirect offers during the election, but he
had no authority for doing so.
Henry Gill got nothing to vote for Mr. Leatham.
Hannah Gill, wife of the last witness, said Mrs. Atack
offered her £2O if she would get her husband to go away.
Mrs. Ataek, Mitre Inn, said she made the offer with-
out any authority. She would have laid the money
down, and " vun all risk. Her " bill" was only £2 10s.
—(A laugh.)

Henry Gill again. came up; and said he forgot to men-
tion that at a meeting- of his. club, a voter named Cass
stated that he had. got £25 from Crowther to vote for
Charlesworth, and, a promise• of £lO after he had voted,
but he had never been able to-get the £lO. •
Scott Perkin,. cabinet maker, gave corroborative testi-
mony.
Mr. Abraham! Grace, carver and gilder, stated that he
had nothing whatever to-do, with Holliday's votes, and
no money had' ever- passed' through his hands on their
account.

John Holliday,. shoemaker:--Did not receive a farthing
for his vote. The night before the election the
"stranger" so often. referred'. to. offered him £l5O, and
then £l6O, for. his and his. son's. vote- He received
nothing in 18.52.
Emanuel Holliday, thesonwf the last witness, corro-
borated his father's evidence:

Benjamin Stocks "watched"' David. Turner at • the
last election £25 =were offeredhim to vote for Leatham,
but this would not -" pacify"' him, awl -he said he could
bcret £lo froin the other side:. Afterwards- Mr. Stephen
Seal authorised the witness- to, offer-the increased sum,
but-Turner: then.said it was • too late; as. he had made
it all right with the -other-side.
• David Turner said he received .£3O from a "stranger"
to vote for Mr. Charlesworth.

Reuben Leighton, of Thornes,_ was, recalled, for the
purpose of correcting his- former evidence. He had
previously-sworn that he had received nothing for his
vote; btit- he now stated that he did. agree with Mr.
John Jubb, of Thorne, to• vote fOr- Mr.-Charlesworth.
He was to have £25 in money, and a: debt of about £25
cancelled. After Mr. Judd had left his-hOuse, he found
the £2o.in an outhouse. It was of his own free will
that he now came forward. He. had not been happy
since.

______.
The Chief Commissioner congratulated Leighton on
taking this step before•it was too late.
Mrs. Leighton likewise made a full confession: Mr.
:Jubb had been at their house tvro- hours, this morning,
as if to prevent their making this public reparation, but
both she-and her husband, were determined to come—
and here they were. (Applause.)?
The chief Commissioner—l anvery glad that wicked
man has.not made you as wickecLas himself, and that you
determined to resist him. (Loudiapplause.)
The -Witness--17e had to live in. the same village,
and were afraid of him.

The Chief Commissioner--Well,. I ant glad that YOU
have "told the truth and shamed the. devil." (Loud
applause.) And let me tell you, on behalf of this court,.
that we were all, satisfied on, the former occasion that
your evidence, and that of your husband, was false:.
Newt- mind what they say in the village.
John Dawson, Flying Horse Inn, got £3O from J. P.
Shaw, to vote for Mr. Leathern., Joseph Huscroft
oared him 1120, and then: LzIO to vote on the other
side. lkfellori. shoemaker,, gave him £1 for drink after
the poll.
Joseph Tannecliffe, labourer,. who had been in. the
servi,;e of Mr. Alderinaa Harrison 19 years, gave Samuel
Fieldhouse £2O to vote for Mr. Leathern. The witness
offered Collinson, publican, AO, and then £3O, which
was declined. He gave John Blackburn £2O, after
the election. He never consulted Mr. Harrison. about
these offers, and had never said anything to hits about
bribery.
Mr. William Tranmer, watchmaker, denied receiving
any consideration whatever for his vote, nor did his wife.
Joseph Scholey, labourer, one of the Conservative
watchers, was examined with reference to the attempted
abduction of a. voter, named Lupton, on the polling
day, He admitted that he helped to pull Lupton into
the cab, and that he (Lupton) was taken to a public-
house a few mites on the Leeds road, where he was left
in charge of same of Mr. Charlesworth's colliers.
Daniel Macintosh, saddler, was deputed by Sharpley
to offer £3Q to Laing, Bay Horse Inn, to vote for Lea-
thern. The money was placed in the hands of a third
party ; but though Laing acceded to the terms, he did
not vote, and therefore did not get the money. After
the election, Laing told the witness that he had received
more money from Shaw, spirit merchant, to be neutral.
The witness had paid £8 or £9 at various public-houses
for beer supplied to non-electors. On the polling day
George Senior told the witness that he had made £BO
out of his vote. £3O he received from the Liberals, and
the rest Senior said was paid to him by Archibald
Crowther.

The Chief Commissioner—We are pretty well satisfied
that Senior did receive money from the-Cpnservatives

but we have not yet traced who paid him it, though we
do not despair of (loins that.
Mr. Alderman Harrison, corn factor; re-called—Denied
• ever making an offer to Goldthorpe, a sweep, or to any
sweep. It was equally untrue that the witness ever
offered any inducement to Micklethwaite to vote. He
did not say at half-past three o'clock on the polling day,
‘.‘ Friends, go out and get votes at any price." The
witness had found out that some of his workmen were
mixed up with bribery at the last election, but he had
not countenanced them in the slightest degree.
Richard Mann, barber, voted for Mr. -Leatham, and
got Zl5.
• John Crosland, junior, foreman, in the service of the
Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company; denied
having anything to- do with Ingham's vote. On the
night of the election he was solicited, by his brother, the
landlord of the Coopers' Arms, who, had 200 Conserva-
tive "loughs" about the house, to pay them off. He
- did so, and paid away about £lOO. His brother was
afterwards reimbursed .by Mr. Thomas' Smith.
'Jeremiah Widdop, landlord of the Griffin Inn, voted
for Mr. Charlesworth. His bill amounted to about £2O.
lie had said to Joseph Hudson,. Postman Inn, that
whatever the Liberals spent at his house the Conserva-
tives would double it; but he denied ever having offered
Hudson anything for his vote.
Mm Oldham' denied saying that Mr. Lake offered
them any flour if her husband would. vote for Mr.
Charlesworth. Mr. Lake did call about the vote, but
she told him that if her husband did not vote for Mr.
Leatham, he would have no comfort in her house.
(Loud laughter.) The Monday after the poll, Mrs.
Cousins brought her a parcel of money, saying that she
was afraid her husband would, spend it if he:got hold of
it. Mrs. Cousins did not say who she got- the money
from, and she fetched it back on the following Friday.
Mrs. 'William Barratt said that her husband had heard
that Lynas, the grocer, had had a large offer from the
Liberal side, and she offered him first £3O and then £4O
for a pound of tea if he-Weald vote for Mr. Charlesworth.
Mr. Lynas said he had been offered double that amount
from the other side, but he had not then made up his
mind which way to vote, and his conscience would not
let him. (A laugh.)
John Mills, warehouseman, stated that he heard Mr.
Shaw, spirit merchant,. in August last, solicit Sharpley
to keep out of the way of the Commission-as he had
previously done with the House of Commone:Committee.
The Chief Commissioner—This Commission is now
adjourned' to the 11th of November, to London, which
We do by leave of the Secretary of State for the Home
Department.

. . .
MURDER IN GALWAY.—A terrible crime was per-
petrated at Kinvara, on Monday week. Theamfortunate
deceased had been attending the fair of that town, and,
as generally is the case,-commenced drinking in the
evening. At Lenane's public-house he was met-by some
three or four other men, when, unhappily, -began. the
quarrel which termiaata fatally. Whilst the deceased.
was returning hcime, in the company of his Vat'ner, he
was waylaid by the parties with W:10711 he had thedis;
pute, and by one the turforturiate victim was struck witb
a stone in so fearful a manner as to cause almost in-
stantaneous death. An inquest was held on thebody
the folloiving day, when the jury returned a; verdict of
wilful murder against two persons named Hynes- and'
Kilkelly. These persons were accordingly apprehended'
and committed to prison.
AGRARIAN OUTRAGE.—We regret to announce, says
the Sligo Journal, that the tranquillity of this' county
has been disturbed by an outrage of a very daring
character, and which, if prompt and vigorous measures,
of repression be not taken, may be followed up by the
commissson of those crimes which have stained other
counties, and rendbred life and, property insecure. The
outrage to which we refer is the posting of a notice upon
the hall-door of Temple Hoase, the seat of R. W. Hair
Dare, Esq., threatening him with the fate of Jessop.
The magistrates assembled at quarter sessions, on
Thursday last, retire& to consider the measures which
should be adopted, with a view- to the discovery of the
authors of the outrage; when, we understand, a repre-
sentation to the Government 'was agreed to, stating all
that is known respecting the offence; and recommending
the offer of a suitable reward. It- is to be hoped that
these measures will result in the discovery and con-
viction
of the perpetrators-of the outrage. • .1
THE COMING OP AGE OF 'THE PRTNCE OP WALES.—
'We observe, from some announcements that have been
made—proppsals for publiii illumiiratians, &c.—that
there is a misconception as to the date when the Prince
of Wales will he of age. An net passed in 1842 provided
for a Regency until the Prince was Ig3teurs ; after this
date-he was to be considered-Of 'age should any unfore-
seen, event take place, the aversion' of which we all most
sincerely and heartily pray.. Otherwise he will not be
considered of age till he is 21,. and he will not take his
seat in the House of Lords till that period arrives.
George Prince of Wales, afterwards King- George 111.,
was introduced into the House of 'Lords on the 13th of
November, 1759, and George (his son) Prince of Wales,
afterwards King George IV., is introduced on the 11th
November,' 1783 ; George 111. having; beenbeen born June
4,17 W (N.S.), and George IV._ August 12, 1712. •
LADFES' TEMPERANCE DEMONSTRATION.-011. Friday
evening- a temperance 'demonstration by females was
held in Aldersgate-street Welsh • Chapel, in London.
There-was a large audience, and the platform was occu-
pied exclusively by " the ladies?' Hrs. Fletcher, of
Brompton, occupied the chair, detailing- her experience
in the-temperance cause, and expressing her faith in the
advantages which would ensue were a prohibitoryliquor

ROZZERT or £soo.—On Wednesday-night an elderly
man, named Samuel Littlewood, . who- resides near Old-
ham, was robbed of upwards of £5OO. It appears that
he is an engine broker, and • had ,conte with his brother .
a few-days previous to attend a sale at Messrs. Phimner's
flax millS,„ Ouseburn, Newcastle-alb-Tyne, and had
brought. the' money to' maim purchases. He and his
brother took tip their residence at the house of Mrs.
Lawrence, Wheat Sheaf, High-street,. Gateshead, and
aboutthalf-past eight o'clock on letiday night he went
out alone,. for the purpose of getting,w short walk before
going-to-bed. A woman followed'hiin from High-street.
to the post-office, where she asked hiin for "three ha' peak
of &ink, and he was tbelisir enough to go with-
her.-. She took him into a passage-in Wellington-street,
where-they had not been-. more • than a minute or two,
when' she put her hand into his:waistcoat breast pocket,
antPlook out his black leather pocket-book, containing ,
upwardS of £5OO in notes and 'citoques, and ran off with
it.- He followed, and although he• had his eye on her
fiir- a considerable distance, he- gave no alarm, and at -
last- she contrived to get- oat, of his sight. About
twellve o'clock the same night, the police apprehended °a.
woman named Ann Matougalt alien Miller. Although
she had changed her shawl and bonnet, he immediately-
identified her. She, had' on the same dress,. and'
was seen in the early part of the evening with
the- same bonnet and' shawl onithat . she wone - when
Littlewood was in her - company. As Usual in-these
cases, 'none of the property- was. found in her possession.
It appears that the money was the whole of his savinn:;.
bat he has some property... Re left Gateshead' on Sati'ir,
day morning, bnt-before.going he gave instructions that
bills were to be- printed offei ing a reward of'4o for-the-
recovery of the-propetty i. and he will have. to appear-
against the woman; who will be brought, before- the
Gateshead ipagistrates: on Tuesday. There-were three
£lOO, two £5O, and some £5 Bank of England notes,
a £lO and some X& notes of a Yorkshire bank. There
was a cheque for- £7-0 odd on the Rochdale Bank, and
another cheque on the Halifax Bank. His brother
thinks there was, about £6OO in the pocket book.
FORMIDINCt THE BANNS.-011 Monday, a couple
who Wended to be married at St. MatthewN, at Chad-
derton, were unexpectedly surprised by the banns being
forbidden and the marriage prevented. Several men,
amongst whom were Joseph Trippet, a forgeman, and
Joseph Woodcock, were drinking together on Sunday
night-, and in the course of the. evening Trippet got
hold of a gun, and took it to a neighbour's house.
Nothing
.particular occured then ; but the next day,
' when Trippet was going to be married to Miss Jane
Crompton, Woodcock went to the church, and pre-
sented to the officiating minister the following no-
tice :—" I, Joseph Woodcock, of Lansdowne-square, in
the parish of St. Matthew's, Chadderton, do hereby
forbid the banns of marriage between Joseph. T.TroiPePeiti
