The half-yearly general meeting of the share-
holders of this company was held yesterday, at the
Euston Station; S. Morton Peto, Esq., M,P., chairman,
presiding.
On the motion for affixing the seal of the company
to the register,
Mr. CRADOCK inquired whether the register was
open to the inspection of the shareholders ?
The CHAIRMAN said the directors did not think they
were justified in showing the respective holdings of
the shareholders, and, as' he was at present advised,
he should decline to allow the inspection of the regis-
ter; but a list of the shareholders could be seen in
the company's office.
Mr. CRADOCE observed that the Court of Queen's
Bench had decided that the shareholders had a right
to demand an inspection of the register.
After a short discussion an amendment was made
by Mr. CRADOCR, that the seal be not affixed, but it
was lost on a show of hands.

The following is an abstract on of the report which
was submitted to the meeting:—
"The statement of accounts forwarded to the share-
holders, shows that the net earnings, of the line during
the half-year ending the 31st of December last, have
amounted to 47,7101. 10s. 10d.;" the most satisfactory
feacture in those accounts being, that the packet ser-
vice, which has hitherto been worked at a loss
for the sake of the traffic which the steam-vessels
brought to the railway, has yielded, after pay-
ment of the working charges, 3,1451. 9s. 7d. during the
period under review, which amount includes the sum
of 3121. 3a. 2d., received as salvage for services rendered
to the Yorkshire, merchantman, wrecked off Holyhead.
The settlement with the Post-office has now been com-
pleted, by an allowance to the company of 2,0501. 12e.
I,od. for the two months not included in Mr. Roebuck's
award; which amount, with 28,1281. adjudged to them
by that gentleman, gave the company 30,178/. 12s. 10d.
for the entire service performed. But the larger amount
of 35,000/. calculated upon the basis of what the
company would have been entitled to under the con-
tract, having been paid in advance by the General Post-
office, it became necessary to refund to that department
the difference between that sum and 30,1781. 12s. 10d.
(or 4,021/. 7s. 2d.), and the same has been deducted
from the receipts of the several periods to which the
over-payment in question relates. Upon the same prin-
ciple the amount due to this company on account of the
reduction of charge for locomotive power by the London
and North-Western Company has been disposed of, and
the sum (1,5531. 16s. 3d.) credited to the period to which
it belongs. By means of these arrangements, and by
the adjustment of outstanding liabilities on traffic ac-
count, the directors have been able to close accounts
which had been inconveniently kept open.
" The accounts exhibit a net balance of 24,5274 Sc. 2d.,
from which the directors recommend the payment of a
half-yearly dividend of Bs. 3d. per share on the first
preference shares. Your directors have deemed ft
necessary, fer the protection of your interests, to seek
Parliamentary powers for the construction of an exten-
sion of the line from Chester to Birkenhead. In the
B:11 introduced for this purpose, they have also sought
release from annual payments to the Commissioners of
her Majesty's Woods and Forests, on account of slope of
embankment at Conway-bridge and Stanley Sands, and
power! to convert the debenture debt of the company
into stock, guaranteed by the Loudon and North Wes-
tern Company. By this last-mentioned arrangement, if
sanctioned by the Legislature, the directors do not doubt
that they should be able to borrow the sum now repesented
by the debentures of the company, upon such term% as
would considerably reduce the present heavy amount of
interest, which forms the first charge upon the earnings
of the line. Referring to the resolution of the general
meeting of March in last year, and the report then pre-
sented to the proprietors, as to the establishment of an
hotel in the neighbourhood of Bangor and the Britannia-
bridge, your directors have frequently had under their
consideration the best manner of effecting the object of
the resolution, without using the capital of the company,
and feeling that the establishment and maintenance of
the proposed hotel will be of very great value to the in-
terests of this company, they are prepared to assist par-
ties who may embark in that undertaking, by allowing a
per eentage to them on all traffic brought to or from the
hotel. In the report of the resident *ngineer (hereto at-
tacheds the works in progress and the state of the railway
are satisfactorily mentioned. The arrears of calls on the
50/. shares amounted, on the 31st December last, to
36,6391. Since that date payments have been made,
and others may be expected to the extent of 5,301/ 10s.,
reducing the arrears to 31,3371. 10s. With respect to
this sum, 59 leshares, upon which 20,2451. remained un-
paid, have been already forfeited; and notices of for-
feiture have been given to the holders of all the remain.
ing shares. The directors new request your confirma-
tion of a resolution of their board, declaring these 366
shares forfeited. They also solicit your authority to dis-
pose of these shares in such a manner as they may deem
advisable. Mr. W. Jackson, ALL'., and the Hon. A.
Kinnaird, directors, and Mr. John Lambert, auditor,
retire by rotation. These gentlemen being eligible,
offer themselves for re-election."

The engineer's report is as follows :-
4. I belt to report, for your informatioh, that the branch
to Port Penrbyn was opened for the slate traffic, from
Colonel Pennant's quarries, the beginning of this year,
and he is now making extensive alterations at the port
for the traffic. Tho works of the Holyhoad Extension,
including the jetty, cattle landing, and loading placcs
and sidings, and the coal loading machine, are now
ready for traffic, and the goods shed on the jetty will be
ready next week. The goods sheds, and other works at the
various intermediate stations, ordered for the full develop-
ment of the local traffic, have been finished, and the sidings,
&c , for the through traffic, are in hand, and will be
finished by the Ist of May next. An engine was taken
over the Bangor and Carnarvon Railway, as far as Port
Dinorwig, on the Ist inst., and the slate traffic from Mr.
Smith's quarries commenced to-day. I fully expect
that the hne to Carnarvon will be finished, and ready
for traffic, by the middle of May next. The permanent
way, works, and stations, both of the main line and
branch railways, are in good order and condition."
An abstract of the accounts has been already pub-
lished in The Sun.

The IIAIRMAN said, in moving the adoption of the
account Sand the report, be felt it his duty to offer
such remarks in elucidation of them, and also such in-
formation as to the whole state of the company's
affairs, as would place before the shareholders the
entire state of the undertaking; and if he failed in
doing so, be would afterwards be happy to answer
frankly and fully any questions which might be put
to him. In the first place, he had to state that the ut-
most cordiality reigned in the board.—(Hear, bear.)
From the time when, by an unanimous and cordial
vote of the board, he was induced to accept
the chairmanship of the company, now a year ago,
up to the present moment there had never been the
slightest possible difference on any one question.—
(Hear, hear.) This would be a satisfactory announce-
ment, for, as practical and commercial men, they
must be aware that no undertaking with a divided
management could prosper.—(Hear, hear.) In the
second place, he had great pleasure in assuring them
that no difference of any sort or kind had arisen
between them and any of their neighbours. He
made -this statement more particularly with re-
gard to the London and North-Western Company;
for, as he had mentioned on former occasions,
he believed their prosperity mainly depended on
the cordial concurrence and hearty co-operation of
that company in all their undertakings for the de-
velopement of their traffic.—(Hear, hear.) They
had not received from the board of that company
simply a cold, formal recognition of everything they
proposed, but the most hearty co-operation and most
substantial practical aid which it was in their power
to give, or for which this company aught con-
sistently to have asked.—(Hear, hear.) During
the past year the extension for the temporary station,
at Holyhead, to the end of the pier had been completed,
and this, too, within the estimates and without any pay-
ment to the Government for the facilities given by
them. By referring to the engineer's report, it would
be seen that the goods' station would soon be
ready; so that the goods traffic with Ireland
might be commenced within a few days from
the present time. The Bangor branch, :open-
ing upon Col. Pennant's quarries, had been finished
within the last three weeks, and Col. Pennant was
now constructing quays at Bangor, and also all the
lines and sidings necessary forthe development of the
slate traffic. The construction of this line had been
carried out without any expenditure on the
part of the shareholders, except for supplying
materials for the permanent way. The line to
Port Dinorwig, opening upon Mr. Ashton Smith's
quarries, was opened yesterday, and the first cargo of
slate from it had been brought over the line. The
sidings throughout the whole of their lines requisite
for the due development of the mineral traffic had been
carried out, and those and the other necessary works
would be completed by the Ist of May. So far they
had, been placed in a position to develope thoroughly
this part of their traffic. During the year the board
had anxiously considered the best means of develop-
ing the traffic in connexion with Ireland. They had
always felt that if Holyhead was to be taken as the
terminus of the line, the great object for which it was
originally constructed would never be attained, and
a dividend to the proprietors never paid.—(Hear.)
They had, therefore, opened a communication with
all the various railways in Ireland and England, and
they had succeeded in perfecting a "through booking"
arrangement, which would largely develope the
traffic with Ireland. They had now eighty-three
stations in England, Scotland, and Ireland, in which
" through booking" had been established ; fifteen
railway companies had entered into this arrangement.
"Through booking" bad been extended to Bristol
and London on the south, Grimsby and Hull on the
east, and Edinburgh and Glasgow on the north. The

to England with one payment, including all charges,
omitting the intervention of agents, and exclusive of
the cost of shipping, and over a short route, there
could not fail to be a great amount of additional
traffic. Such a system only could properly develope
the Irish traffic. If asked for a test as to the
advantage of " through booking," as far as it
had goee, he would point to the receipts for the boats
during the first six weeks of this year, which showed
an advance of 45 per cent. over the first six weeks of
last year.—(Hear, hear.) The boats had maintained
great regularity during the present year. In the
first six or seven weeks there had been a degree
of unpropitious weather, the occurrence of which
on any previous occasion was not within the
memory of any of their (Beers or naval men con-
nected with the Holyhead station, yet the regularity
of transit by the boats was such that on comparing
the arrival of the expresses at the Crewe station with
the arrival of the boats at Holyhead it would be
found that the boats were the most regular,
of the two. He ought perhaps to refer to the highly
efficient state of the boats, not simply to their state
' of repair, but to their excellent machinery and boilers,
and the arrangements which conduced to the comfort
and convenience of the public. All these mat-
ters had been constantly attended to. In the
person of Captain Hurst, who was their steam super-
intendent,
they had an officer not only capable of
attending to his duty in these and other respects with
zeal and efficiency, but the most correct and careful
man with whom he had ever been brought in
contact.—(Hear, hear.) In the present year there
was a prospect of several important extensions being
opened in Ireland. Among the most important was
the railway to Belfast. In May it would be opened
to Drogheda- They experienced the greatest cor-
diality and thorough-going amity in their connexion
with all the directors of the various Irish lines. The
increase in the company's receipts during the year
was 17,6521. 13s. 4d., while the decrease in
the expenditure amounted to 2,5131. 15s. 3d.,
making a larger sum applicable to a dividend
this year, as compared with the last, of
20,1651. 18s. 7d.—(Hear, hear)—and this was with-
out any addition for the mineral and slate traffic, and
any goods traffic being developed and con-
the Irish coast, and without any of the
h con-
nected
advantages which he had already pointed out as
nlioviteaieehtler tyodutwoitahccrue to the company. The increase in
the charges for the half-year was 8571. 64. 2d. In
advertising, printing and charges incidental thereto,
they had expended in the half-year 1,1721. 9s. Bd.
The " through-booking" arrangement could not be
achieved without an agency, and that agency had been
of the most efficient character possible. This ar-
rangement could not also be accomplished without

had engaged a gentleman of high standing and of
great knowledge and experience to make preliminary
accounts. Besides the agency in Ireland, they
eyreraarnsg' ements for the slate traffic. In the last
four or five months he had been in nearly
every town of importance in England and Scotland
for that purpose, and when the slate traffic was
thoroughly opened, the inhabitants of these towns
would be prepared to avail themselves of the increased
facilities offered to them. The fact of the pre-
liminary expenses being charged against the

(Hear, hear.) If they had nor done so, they might
have paid interest on the entire preference stock for
the past year. He felt great dissatisfaction and dis-
appointment with regard to the result of the men
award. They were obliged to deduct a sum of 5,0001,
which the directors had calculated upon receiving in
preceding accounts. ThelGovernment contract was
30,0001. per annum, and the directors were surely
entitled to expect that no deduction would

Govern-
ment, and the fact of their Government taking ad-
vantage of the difficulties thrown in their way,
to seek a reduction in the contract, was most
unfair and unhandsome.—(Hear, hear.) The
company intended to proceed to Parliament for
a Bill, but it did not contemplate any additional call
upon the shareholders.—(Hear, hear.) The directors
had thought it right to apply, in conjunction with
the North-Western, for a separate entrance to Bir-
kenhead.—(Hear, hear.) The obstruction at this
point in the mineral traffic to the Mersey
caused a delay of four days. They also
asked for powers to increase the tolls on a certain
portion of the line, in consideration of the enormous
cost they had been put to in erecting the Menai and
Conway bridges.—(Hear.) They also asked for
powers to issue perpetual preference stock, which
would be guaranteed by the North-Western
Company. That would effect a saving of 10,0001,,
a year. The North-Western had readily consented
ea, which would enable them to
instead of 5 per cent. as formerly.

disgrace to the Government, and an injustice to the
company. He had thought that when the Govern-
ment spent some years ago three millions to get a
communication with Ireland in thirty-six hours they
would not have fixed a permanent charge of that
company
kind upon a which, at an expense
of four millions, had reduced the period occu-
pied in the journey to twelve hours.—(Hear,
hear.) The only additional expenditure to be
imposed upon the shareholders would be the con-
struction of sidings and other works for the stowage
of slates, so as to facilitate the conveyance of that
kind of goods. The only other additional expendi-
ture would be the increase of working stock, bat that
had received the sanction of the shareholders at the
former meeting. The Chairman next alluded to the
construction of the hotel at Bangor, and said
the plan proposed by the directors was to allow the
person erecting it 25 per cent. on the amount of
traffic received by the company at the hotel sta-
tion, and that this should continue up to the
point when he received interest upon his outlay
at the rate of 7 per cent. It was esti-
mated that such an arrangement would put 70 per
cent. into their pockets on the additional
virtually net incurring a farthing's
In conclusion, the chairman said
etrxapffienes,e,t—ho(nHgehar.)
his conviction as to the development of the
traffic an the railway was precisely what
it was at first—that he had seen nothing
in the course of hie constant visits on the rail-
way to alter :that opinion' and that he was sure
all he had pointed out would be more than fully
realized.—(Cheers.)
Mr. HENSMAN said the directors promised last year
a dividend of three per cent., but that promise was
a being fulfilled as ever.: They had a
ear, honest, and straightfor-
wardnriegwh right t o far
expect from
balance-sheet, but the one presented to the
shareholders was not of that character. It
was a fallacy to suppose that the balance of 24,0001.,
as set forth in the accounts was correct, because there
was placed to revenue the net amount received from
May, 1848, to December, 1851. Instead of being a
balance of 24,0001. there was, after allowing a
certain sum for paying up the preference shares, an
actual deficiency of 119,000/., which was paid out of
capital. No hope of any temporary advantage ought
to induce the proprietors to blink at such a state of
affairs. It was important to them as well as the public
that directors should not' be allowed to " cook up"
accounts so as to show either a balance or a deficiency
—which ever suited their purpose.
The CHAIRMAN said his .opinion that the rail-
way would Produce three per cent. to the old pro-
prietors was still, unaltered, and the increase
of receipts during the last half-year showed that his
expectationi had been 'partly fulfilled. The railway
had been,rescued from the depth of misery, and had
become one of a remunerative character.—(Hear.)
A SHAREHOLDER repudiated the assertion that the
directors either "cooked" the accounts or tampered
with them.—(Hear.)
In reply to some observations regarding the
American S route,
The CHAIRMAN said the Admiralty were now pre-
paring moorings at Holyhead to faciliate the landing
of mails from American mail packets, and this was
an evidence of the importance which the Government
attached to the route by Holyhead.—(Hear.)
The motion was then agreed to.
A resolution, authorising the payment of a divi-
dend of Bs. 3d. per share, to be payable on the 18th
of March, was next passed.
A resolution was then proposed, approving of
the erection of an hotel and grounds near Ban-
gor, and authorising the directors to assist in
promoting the same, and the formation of a com-
pany for the purposes thereof; empowering the di-
rectors also to contract with such company for allow.

ENING, MARCH l2, 1852.

THEATRE ROYAL, EDINBURGH.
On Monday night Mr. Josh Silsbee, an American
comedian, whose popularity has been great in London,
made his first appearance here in Jonathan Ploughboy,
a part he played nearly a hundred nights in the me-
tropolis. ,Tne piece is entitled The Forest Rose, and
is of itself a very trashy affair, though it serves
well enough as ; a vehicle for displaying the comic
powers of Mr. Silsbee. These are of the genuine
Yankee order—Jonathan Ploughboy is a regular
screamer. His humour is of the driest and broadest,
and so abundant and spontaneous that its effects are ir-
resistibly. contagious; the laughter it excites is general
and continuous. There is not much wit in the words,
but the extremely odd and characteristic style in which
they are spoken, the peculiarities of accent
and expression with which they are dropt and slipt from
Jonathan's lips affect the risible muscles of the audience
in a marvellous degree. His strange dress and gro-
tesque attitudes are also no slight source of the fun his
acting produces; every gesture is amusing and character-
istic; he appears as if filled with irrepressible
comic humour which flies off in electric sparks at
all points—from the ends of his fiery red hair to
the soles of his Jonathanian boots. He draws
amusement out of his hat as a conjuror does
trinkets, and throws infinite expression into the collar
and tails of his coat. In short of its kind the delinea-
tion is perfect—a caricature it may be, but essentially
true to nature, i. e., Yankee nature, and a consummate
work of art. Mr. Silsbee performs in another piece
with almost equal spirit and humour, but his style, of
course, is the same. He appears every night t this week,
and we may promise all who go to see him that they
will be kept on the broad grin the whole time heis on
the stage.—Scotsman.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
HOME ClRCUlT.—Maidstone, March 11.

CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Mr. Baron PARKE and a
Special Jury.)
•
THE QUEEN V. LORD R.ANELAGH.
This was an indictment against the defendant for a
common assault. .

Mr. E. James, Q.C., Mr. Clarkson, and Mr. Bodkin
were conusel for the Crown; Sergeant Shee and Mr.
Ballantine appeared for the defendant.
Mr. JAMES said that this was a prosecution against
the noble defendant by the South-Eastern Railway
Company, on whose behalf he had the honour to ap-
pear; and they had felt it their duty to promote the pro-
ceeding in order to protect their servants in the execu-
tion of their duty. Lord Ranelagh was charged by the
present indictment with having committed an assault
upon a person named Price, who was a ticket-collector
in their service, and the transaction which formed the
subject of inquiry took place on the 3d of August last,
at one of the stations of the company, and they had
felt it to be their duty not only to their own ser •
vents, but also for the protection of the public and
of the property that
,was entrusted to them to a
very large amount, to institute the present
proceedings. He said that it appeared that on the
night in question Lord Ranelagh, Lord Alfred Churchill,
and some other persons of respectability and distinction,
were returning to London after having dined at Green-
wich, and, as was usual on a Sunday evening, there was
a very great crowd of persons assembled at the station,
and Price, the ticket collector, in the course of doing
what ho conceived to be his duty for the prevention of
confusion, was alleged by the present indictment to have
been assaulted by the defendant. The case was certainly
originally ono of a very trivial character, but subsequent
proceedings that had taken place connected with it had
given to it a great deal more importance, and he now
thought it right to say that having, witti his Learn* d
Friend, looked most carefully over the depositions, and
seeing that Lord Ranelagh had pledged his oath to the
fact that there was no foundation for the charge that
was made against him, and that he had also instituted
criminal proceedings against the persons who had pre-
ferred the charge, and that his evidence was supported
by the testimony of the highly respectable persons who
were with him upon'the occasion, they were of opinion
that there must have been some mistake in the matter,
and be should therefore withdraw from offering any
evidence in support of the present indictment.
Sergeant &LEE said he had the honour to appear on
behalt of Lord Ranelagh on the present occasion; and
be begged to state that his Learned Friend bud done
him no more than justice when he stated that his Lord=
ship bad done everything that a gentleman and a man of
honour could do to rebut the charge that had been made
against him. Under these circumstances, after the
course that had been adopted with regard to the prosecu-
tion by the South-Eastern Railway Company, he thought
he should be acting in the best way for all parties by
withdrawing from offering any evidence in support of
the other indictments in which Lord Ranelagh was the
prosecutor.
Verdicts of Not Guilty Were then taken upon all the
indictments, and the proceedings thus terminated.

RANGER V. RUSSELL.
This was a common jury case. The actiou was brought
by the plaintiff to recover damages from the defendant,
who was sued as a minor, for the seduction of his
daughter.
Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. Addison, were coun-
sel for the plaintiff; Mr. Sergeant Channell appeared for
the defendant.
Tho plaintiff in this action was a bailiff to a gentle.
man named Penfold, and resided at Loose, near Maid-
stone, where he occupied a farm. He had eight children,
the eldest of whom, Elizabeth, a girl twenty-one years
of age, was the unfortunate subject of the present ac-
tion. It appeared that the father of the defendant, who,
it was stated, is a lad under twenty, lived a short dis-
tance from Loose, and occupied a farm, and was also a
cattle-salesman in an extensive way of business, about
two years ago occupied a small piece of meadow land
belonging to Mr. Penfold, the defendant's employer, and
this led to the defendant going there occasionally to look
after his stock, and thus an intimacy sprung up be-
tween him and the plaintiff's daughter. According to
her evidence, the first time the defendant saw her he
told her he should like to have her for a wife, and asked
her to go out and walk with him, and she consented to
do so, and after the intercourse had existed for a short
time an improper intimacy took place between them, the
result of which was the birth of a child in May last. It
appeared that the mother of the girl had been ill for a
considerable time, and thus the parties had facilities for
keeping their connexion secret from the family ; and it
was stated that the defendant used to come to the plain-
tiffs cottage and whistle, and the daughter Elizabeth used
thenito go out and walk with him. When-she informed
the defendant, however, that she was in the family way,
his pretended affection seemed to cool immediately, and
after a very short time he discontinued his visits alto-
gether.
Sergeant CHANNELL addressed the jury briefly on be-
half of the defendant, and urged every topic that could
be adduced in mitigation of damages with his usual
ability. lie contended that it was idle to look upon this
case as one of seduction, and said that the real fact was
that it was a verification of the old song, " Whistle, and
I'll come to thee, my lad; " and that both parties, al-
though they had no doubt acted very improperly in a
moral point of view, were equally to blame, and that
there was no seduction in the matter. He concluded by
expressing an opinion that the case was one which frow
its circumstances would have been much better disposed
of by an application to a magistrate for an order of affi-
liation, and he said he felt assured that if the jury should
be of opinion that the plaintiff was entitled to a verdict
at all, that they would see that it was a case which called
only for very moderate damages.
Mr. Baron PARKE having summed up,
The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—damages, 601.
CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.)
Thomas Brown, 23, a respectable-looking young man,
was indicted for uttering forged 51. Bank of England
notes.
Mr. Clarkson conducted the prosecution.

The offence imputed to the prisoner appeared to have
been committed in a very ingenious manner. It was
proved that ho had enclosed a forged 51. note in an en-
velope, addressed to the postmasters at Dover and Deal,
asking in the name of an inhabitant of the town a post-
office order for the amount upon some place a short dis-
tance off. Tho note appeared to have been tolerably well
executed by being traced over a genuine note by means
of a pen, and they were all cut in half to give them the
appearance of having been sent by post, and a piece of
stiff paper was pasted at the back which partly concealed
the watermark. The practice of the prisoner was to
give the letter and its contents to any respectable-looking
lad he met in the street, and in two instances ho obtained
post-office orders for the forged notes. He then, it ap-
peared, proceeded to Margate, where he made a third
attempt; but hero the fraud was discovered, and the pri-
soner was taken into custody, and on his being searched
five other forged Si. notes were found in his possession,
as well as the money orders that ho had received a
Dover and Deal, and also a number of other letters ad-
dressed to different postmasters in the neighbouring
towns, by means of which he, no doubt, intended to have

Cambridge, March 11.
NORFOLK CIRCUIT.
The Chief Justice took his seat this morning at
ton o'clock in the Crown Court, and having charged the
grand jury proceeded to the Civil Court, where there
placed that
was an entry of two common and one special
jury cs,©
for trial.
His Lowman', on opening the court, intimated
tinder the peculiar circumstances in which he
wmentionedsttahnadt tnhveerrotaadtvhcaealusneaebxlte
aasssiszi:ts:
by the absence of his Learned Colleague, ho thought
advisable at ence:hooeutiadte
by us yesteaday.
With that exception he hoped, with the
ance which bad been offered him, to
dispose of all the
business of tho assize.
The calendar contains the names of 31 prisoners,
charged with five arsons, three burglaries, one stabbing,
two highway robberies, ono housebreaking, one sheep_
stealing, one concealment of birth, one embezzlement, one
forgery, and five cases of larceny.
At eleven o'clock John Prendergast, Esq.,
Court, Q.c took
his seat in the Crown ' when the following cases
were disposed of.
James Grant, aged 23, described as a banker's c
in the calendar. pleaded Guilty to an indictment lei
charg-
ingr him with having stolen from his employers, Richard
llanbury Gurney and others, bankers, at Wisboach, three
several 1001. h
.ank-notes within the space of six calendar
months,

Mr. TOZER, on behalf of the prisoner, honed that the
Court would deal leniently with him. He was of most
resPr4,,bl,3 parentage, and had up to the tr,;,rctio,' i't
quti.tion burne an ext.::ie;:L .-sre:4.li.r. Tie east: LA 6,1--
cited great sympathy at Wisheach and its vicinity, and a
petition had been prepared on behalf of the prisoner,

which was signed by 105 persons of respectability, in-
eluding five clergymen and one magistrate. Under these
circumstances, he hoped the Court would take a merciful
view of the prisoner's offences, for which he felt the
greatest possible remorse.
His LORDSHIP observed that the reception of peti-
tions was out of the regular course. The question was,
would the prosecutors recommend him to mercy?
Mr. D. BROWN, who appeared for the prosecution,
stated that he was instructed to do so. The prisoner had
been in the bank for eight years.
The Conn' iuquired whether the prisoner had evi-
denced his contrition by doing all in his power to relieve
the bank from the embarrassment which might arise
from his misconduct ?

The prosecutor stepped forward and assured his Lord-
ship that such was the fact, and he begged to plead for
mercy.
Mr. TOZER then called a witness, who gave the young
man a good character.
His LORDSHIP then having pointed out to the prisoner
the magnitude of his offences, and the consequence
which would have ensued but for the merciful interfer-
ence of his employers, whose confidence he had so much
abused, sentenced him to one year's imprisonment, with
hard labour, a sentence which could not but be con-
sidered as a most lenient one, under all the circumstances
of his case.

WESTERN ClRCUlT.—Salisbury, March 11.
CROWN COURT.—(Betore Mr. Justice TALFOURD.)
James Cadby was indicted for attempting to strangle
Mary Ann Cadby, his wife, at Melksham, with intent
to kill and murder her.

Mr. Hodgson was counsel for the prosecution.
The poor woman was too ill to attend the assizes, and
therefore her deposition, taken before the magistrates,
was read.

The prisoner, upon being called on for his defence,
said he had only struck his wife once. He accused her
of being unfaithful to him, and that it had made him cut
of his mind, and he scarcely knew what he did.
A policeman said there had been quarrels between
the man and his wife, but he believed her to be a very
virtuous woman.

Tile Learned JUDGE having summed up, the jury re-
turned a verdict of Guilty.
Mr. Justice TALFOURD sentelaced him to be trans-
ported for 15 years.

NORTHERN ChiGUlF.—York, March 10.
CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON.)
The greater part of the day was taken up by two ac-
tions for goods sold and delivered, in the first of which
the defence was that the goods supplied, a power-loom,
was of no use, for it would not work; in the second,
there was a plea of payment, and the only question
was whether the payment bad been made to a person
authorised to receive the money, the person to whom it
was paid not having accounted for the receipt, or handed
over the money to the plaintiff. In the first action the
jury found for the plaintiff, in the second for the de-
fendant.

CROWN COURT.—(Before r. Justice CRESSWELL
Grace Atkinson, a respectably-dressed woman, appa-
rently about 45 years of age, was indicted for shooting
at Francis Long, ou the 29th of January last, at Kirby-
with-Netherby, with intent to murder him, to maim him,
or to do him some grievous bodily harm.
Mr. Pickering and Mr. Bayley appeared for the pro-
secution, and Mr. Bliss, Q.C., for the defence.
It appeared from the opening of the Learned Coanurl
for the prosecution, and from the evidence calh.d in sup-
port of it, that the prisoner is the wife of a carpeeter,
living at a place called Nowker-hill, and that her hus-
band, being pretty well off, bad purchased some land
from the prosecutor's father and built a house upon it,
where they re4ded. The house being too large fur them,
they tie.k in lodgers, and the' prosecutor, a good-look tug
young man of 23 years of age, a cattle-dealer, had lodged
with them for about three years, paying 6s. a week fur
his lodgings. The prosecutor got into some considerable
arrears on account of lAa lodgings; and, in cons, queuce
of the prisoner's demeanour to him, and orher violent
tamper, he resolved to leeve and pay off his account.
In October and November of last year he mentioned his
determination to leave; and on one occasion the pri-
soner took up a knife and threatened to stab him. He
suspected
also that his box in the house had been
opened, as he could not find the settlement of his pre-
vious account, nor some title-deeds which- he had in
his box. The latter, at his entreaty, were returned to
him by the prisoner. On the Bth of December he paid
his account (451.) to the prisoner, having some words
with both her and her husband, as he believed, owing to
the loss of his former settled account, he was overpay-
ing the prisoners 5/. He, however, then left the house,
it being agreed that he should go there for his clothes on
the Saturday following, but, except for that purpose, the
prisoner's husband desired that he would not go near
the house again. On the 29th of January following, as
the prosecutor was getting some hay off a cart at a
neighbour's named Sarah Morrell, the prisoner passed
him, bat he did not speak to her. About three o'clock
that day she came into his barn while he was there, and

wished him particularly to go to her house, as she had
something to tell him, and wished to explain to him
about their going to Kent. The prosecutor told her she
might as well explain it where she was. She said it
would give him very little trouble to go to her house,
and her husband was from home. Ile told her that
made no difference, and she went away angry. He had
left a pair of scissors at her house, which he wanted,
and he sent Morrell for them, but she sent word
back that he (prosecutor) might come for them himself.
In the evening, at six o'clock, having to call at a neigh-
bour's about some milk, he went round to the prisoner's
house, and knocked at the back door. The prisoner
opened the door and asked him to walk in. He asked
for the scissors, and went in and sat down. She then
spoke to him about his going to Kent. He said he had
no objection if she made it worth his while; but that
she had used him badly about the Si. when they set-
tled, and asked her to repay it to him, as he had overpaid
that sum. She told him she would pay it to him at the
rate of 6s. each weak, if he would call for it himself.
He refused to do anything of the kind, and got his cap
to go away, when the prisoner went to the door, locked
it, and put the key in her pocket, and then went to the
front door and took the key and put it in her pocket.
He, however, went to the door to try to get out,
and she then said she had a Si. note upstairs,
and she would give it to him if he would go up.
lie told her there was no occasion for that; if she
wished to give it to him, she could get it. She then
said that if she wont upstairs he would go out. He said,
"How can I when you have. got the keys?" She said,
" You can go up; what difference does it make?" and
gave him a push towards the stairs. Ele went up, fol-
lowed and when he got to the room upstairs she

able difficulty in opening it. At length he got it open,
and on looking out he saw the prisoner on the door- step
with a gun in her hand, and on seeing him she said, "It
you come out there to-night I will shoot you dead." He
told her she had no occasion to shoot, but she re-
peated the threat. The window was about fifteen
feet high, and he got out and hung by his hands
by the sill, and tried to reach the window-sill be-
low. Whilst doing so the prisoner took up the gun
and pointed it at him, and he dropped on to the ground
on his feet and hands with his face towards her.
As he roso his head the gun was fired, the charge
just missing his head and lodging in his thigh. She
was then only two yards off. He went a few yards be-
fore ho knew he was shot, when he fell, crying out,
"Oh dear, get help, you have shot me." She then went
and fetched a neighbour named Haven, and a Mrs.
Dearlove, who was lodging there, crying, and appa-
rently in distress, saying that a man was shot. She did
not to them deny that she had shot the prosecutor, but
only said be came begging for 51. The prosecutor was
taken to Mrs. Haven's, where his leg was obliged to be
amputated. It appeared also that shortly before the 29th
the prisoner had gone to the house of a person named
Appleyard, when be and his wife were there alone, they
having also formerly lodged with her, and had offered
them a sovereign if they would go with her before the
justices at Knaresborough, and swear that they haseen

said a person had been there to tell him the note ha.

try and trace out who had the note and pass it away in
another quarter. I advised him not to do anything et
the kind. He then said that was the same 10/.: note

money that came from Christchurch.

asked him for an explanation relative to the 10/. note '
which had been traced to him, and which be had re- •

501. note. He said he had received a 101. note fro°
Holmes. and I asked him under what circumstances ?
He said Holmes owed him 31., and he (prisoner) gale
him 71., and Holmes then gave him the note.
Mr. biullens said this evidence completed one case of
an extensive series of emeezzletnents under which head
he bad classed the last case until he discovered it to be
a clear one of forgery. He then proposed a further re-
mand, as there were so nesny transactions in which the
prisoner was implicated with Holmes, that it required
time to ascertain the extent of the frauds, which had
been carried on for some time past.
The prisoner was then remanded for a week.

Do ou consider HYAM'S Mart
Has garments elegantly smart,
And well designed in every part?
3)0 You believe, from all you sec,
That HYAM'S dress deserves to be
regarded in the first degree ?
And do you equally admire
The cloth of HYA A'S choice attire,
As everything that we require ? I do.
no you with readiness confess,
That HYAM'S articles possess
AU other points required in dress ? I do.
Arid do you deem the dress displayed
Better designed and better made
Than any garments in the trade ?
1)0,.„, You believe, from what you know,
toot HYAM always charges low
x or dresses at his lamed depot?
In. de you still intend to buy
From HYAM'S varied dress supply,
Which YOU consider ranks so high? I do.
There's one thing more I wish to know,
!?, u you, advise your friends to go
RYAM'S Warehouse, as below ? I do.
A DOUBLE ACROSTIC.
