felony and the other for misdemeanour, postponed,on the
ground that the prosecutor's witnesses were not present,

the application of the Learned Counsel,

stances,evidence in support of the pro-
secution.a_dduc_e any

A verdict:of Acquittal was then taken in both cases.
There was one other case in the paper, which was
settled, and thus ended the sittings at Westminster.
Lord CAMPBELL then told the jury they were dis-
charged, and he returned them his thanks for their very
valuable services, and it might be satisfactory to them to
know that though there was en extraordinary entry of
causes, yet by their exertions every cause that stood-for
trial had been disposed of.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, June 29.
(Betoro Mr. Commissioner EvANs.)
IN RE S. GASH.
This was a certificate meeting in the matter of
Samuel Gash, of Hatcham New-town, Camberwell,
builder. He owed to unsecured creditors 798/.; to
mortgage creditors, 2,2541. The property given up was
put down at 2801.; property mortgaged, 3,7201.
Mr. LAWRANCE, for the assignees, offered no oppo-
sition.

His HONOUR granted an immediate certificate of the
second class.
(Before Mr. Commissioner HoLuau))
IN RE WILLIAM SMITH.
The bankrupt was an engineer, of 69, Princes-street,
Leicester-square. This was an adjourned certificate
meeting.
Mr. Tippetts appeared for the assignees, Mr. A. Tur-
ner for a creditor, and Mr. Lawrance for the bankrupt.
His HoNouß, in giving judgment, said this was a case
in which the bankrupt ought to have placed himself in
the hands of his creditors sooner, and there was cer-
tainly some ground for complaint. Under all the cir-
cumstances of the case he could not grant the certificate
forthwith; it must be suspended for six months from the
27th of April last, and when granted to be of the second
class, as the bankruptcy had partly arisen from unavoid-
able loss.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
Mary Ann Stagg, John Wilson, and Charles Starke,
who were some days ago charged upon suspicion of
having robbed Mr. Good, a farmer, at Aldborough Fair,
near the city of Norwich, of Bank of England and Bank
of ;Norwich notes, and other property, to the amount of
upwards of 5001., wore brought before Sir P. Laurie for
final examination.
The following is an account of the additional particu-
lars of the investigation.—
Mrs. Rogers, the wife of the shopkeeper in Hounds-
ditch, who had followed the prisoners into Bishopsgate-
street after having refused to change a Norwich bank-
note of 101. for the female prisoner, said the appearance
of the male prisoners in the street, while waiting for the
woman, caused suspicion, and her husband returned the
note to the woman, who forthwith proceeded to another
shop for the purpose of obtaining the accommodation.
James Doddymoad, a person who lives in the neigh-
boarhood of Bishopsgate-street, said—At about lialf-past
nine o'clock on the night in question I saw two men
running in the direction of Shoreditch, and a number of
bank-notes scattered about the street where they had
passed. I picked up twelve notes for 10/. each, which
proved to be those of the Norwich Bank, and I took
them to the station-house, and gave them to the con-
stable in authority there. Two or three mon ran after
me, and wanted me to give the notes to them, but I re-
fused to have anything to do with them, and I made oft
to the station-house to deliver the property to the police.
I did not see the factis of the men who were running
from the police.
Lydia Milling, of Albert-place, Hoxton—l was also
in Bishopsgate-street at the time above stated, and I saw
a man running, and policeman Gibson following him at
full speed. I did not see the fugitive throw away any-
thing, but I picked up four or five Norwich 101. bank-
note?. An omnibus man then jumped from his foot-
board,--and saying " What have you got there ? " to mo
and another woman, took them from me, and I then
said we would all go with them to the station-house, to
which he accordingly drove, and we then gave up the
notes to the constable.
Amelia Matthews—l was in the company of the last
witness, and I picked up four notes of the same descrip-
tion, and delivered them at the station-house.
Gibbon, in the employment of Mr. Roberts, of 65,
Shoreditch, clothes dealer, said—The three prisoners
came into the shop between five and six o'clock on the
22d of June. I sold Starke a suit of clothes, and Wilson
a waistcoat, for which Starke paid me 21. 18s. with a
10/. note I produce, which I changed. Tho note is on
the Norwich Bank, and is dated 17th of April, 1852,
and numbered I) 6,487. He wrote upon it the name of
Starke, and told me to write his Christian name
" Charles," us he could not write well, and I did so.
In answer to Sir P. LAURIE, the witness said—This
is the only note I changed for them, or they presented
to me.

Catherine Tierney, a decent-looking servant girl, 18
years of age, who appeared overwhelmed with grief,
was brought before Mr. Ingham charged with stealing
four gold pins, value 2/., the property of Mr. Samuel
Acock, timber-merchant, of No.. 1, York-street East,
Stepney.
It is 'necessary to state that Mrs. Acock, the wife of
the prosecutor, and lately mistress of the prisoner, was
fined 5/. on Monday by Mr. Ingham for an assault on
the girl, who afterwards proceeded, in company with
a young woman to the prosecutor's house to fetch her
box away, and hence arose the present charge.
Mr. Acock said that the prisoner had been in his ser-
vice for a short time up to that day week, when she left.
On Monday evening she called at his house for a box
containing her clothes, and when she brought it down
stairs he intimated that he must search it and look over
the things. She objected to it, and said she would not
allow her box to be searched. An officer was then sent
for, and all her clothes wero turned out, and when
the girl had done picking them up again a small red
box was found en the oil-cloth where her clothes had
been. It contained four gold pins. He had last seen the
box seven or eight dais ego, or it might be more. When
he accused the prisoner of stealing the box and its con-
tents she cried and sobbed, and said she was innocent,
and had never seen the property before.
After hearing several witnesses,
Mr. leforram said, this was a case of conflicting evi-
dence, and he would send it before a jury. It was im-
puted to Mr. and Mrs. Acock that they had entered
into a conspiracy to prefer a false charge against an
innocent girl. That court was not the proper tribunal
to try such a question. Ile would take one respon-
sible surety in the eum of 20/. for the prisoner's appear-
ance on Friday next, when the depositions would be
completed, and the prisoner committed for trial.
A gentleman quite unacquainted with the prisoner,
who had heard the case, offered himself as bail, and was
accepted.

It is said that Prince Murat has purchased the
property of Busenval, near St. Cloud.

Sir P. LAURlE—Prisoners, do you wish to ask any

had nothing at all to ask.

Mr. CORRIE said he would remand the prisoner for a
wee Is, and gave instructions to the constable to make
inquiries at the hospital daily and report her state at
this court, with the view that her deposition might be
taken.

James Welsh. John Gorman, and Mary Welsh, the
wife of the former prisoner, were charged with having
been concerned in the following daring outrage and
assaults on the police. The male prisoners appeared
with their heads bound up and covered with marks of
violence.
It appeared from the evidence of Caleb Davis and Job
Lewis, officers of the E division, both of whom were
severely injured, the former having had his arm nearly
broken, and 'oho was otherwise so hurt that he is dis-
abled from duty, that on Tuesday evening they re-
ceived information that a desperate affray had taken
place in Selina-place, Somers-town. They repaired
thither and found the neighbourhood in excitement and
coniusion, while the male prisoners were fighting
with every one indiscriminately. Welsh escaped
into a house and bolted himself in. In at-
tempting to apprehend him, he wrested Davis's staff
from him, end beat him with it on his head, arm, and
side unmercifully, while Mrs. Welsh bad a broom, which
she used desperately, and Gorman was also very violent.
Welsh and his wife called out, " Kill the —,' and it
was not until a reinforcement of officers arrived on the
spot that they could bo taken into custody, when they
resisted violently all the way to the station-house, where
they were locked up.
James Moriarty, brother of Mrs. Welsh, who was also
severely maltreated, said that Welsh and Gorman
brought "a faction" to ill-use him, when he was seized,
his' house besieged and broken into, and he was dread-
fully beaten. His property and part of the house were
demolished, and he would have been murdered had it not
been for the arrival and assistance of the police.
Welsh, exhibiting the wounds on his head, said the
police caused them by blows with their truncheons. He
owned that he had been drinking.
Mr. CORRIE asked whether he had been struck on the
head with a truncheon.
Davis—l struck him with my staff when he struck me
on my arm.
Welsh—Four or five of them struck me. lam co-
vered all over with bruises.
The other prisoners denied the charges against them.
It was stated that the injuries received by Davis were
of so serious a nature that the surgeon who attended him
bad desired him to pay great attention, or the result
might prove dangerous to him.
Numerous other officers and private individuals wero
in attendance to give evidence against the prisoners.
Mr. CORR= thought it a savage and lawless outrage,
and fined Gorman 203. or three weeks imprisonment;
Mrs. Welsh he fined 10s. or ono fortnight's imprison-
ment; but James Welsh he would remand for having
assaulted the officer Davis, until the result of the injuries
inflicted upon him could satisfactorily be made known.
