the committee was eventually agreed to and referred back
to
be carried into execution.
A motion by Deputy JONES being also agreed to, that be
fore any proceedings were taken, the committee should con

for applying to Parliament.

LAW INTELLIGENCE,—(This Day.);

(,sittings at Nisi Prius, before Chief Justice Cockburn and
a Special Jury.)
THE QUEEN V. HEANE-ALLEQED PERJURY.

This morning, on the reassembling of the court, evidence
was called to the character of the defendant, which was
spoken to as being excellent for morality, truthfulness, and
honesty.
The Lord Chief Justice, in summing up, spoke of the
importance of the trial, the result of which must be dreadful
to one party or the other. He pointed out that Mr. Armi-
tage had no opportunity of being examined en oath, and
dwelt upon the anxiety showed to have the charges against
him fully investigated. His lordship, with his usual im-
partiality, balanced the various portions of the evidence, and
said the jury must look all around the case to endeavour to
see which of all persons implicated told the truth. In the
course of his remarks his lordship expressed his opinion
that there was no tribunal like a judge and jury to dispose
of a criminal charge, that the way of taking evidence be-
fore a court martial was a matter of absolute procedure, that
the sooner it was done with the better.
The jury retired at a quarter-past 11.
At five minutes past 12 they sent in to say they could
not agree, and asked to be discharged. The reply of the
Lord Chief Justice was, that he could not accede to their
requet t.
Another note having been sent by the jury,
The Lord Chief Jubice re-entered the court at half-past
one, and, addressing the learned counsel, said he had re-
ceived two communications from the jury, in the last of
which they stated that there was no probability of their
coming to an unanimous verdict.
Sergeant Ballantine said he believed that both sides were
willing to leave the matter in their hands.
The Lord Chief Justice said ho thought that when the
jury stated that it was impossible for them to agree, it was
no use to detain them.

The jury then returned to their box, and were discharged
without coming to a verdict.

ANOTHER NEW MAP OF EUROPE.—There is new
selling in the Paris print shops a new map of Europe
for 18G6, which represents Italy complete with Rome and
Venice; France with the Rhino for its frontier; all Ger-
many under the scn.ptre of Prusea ; and a great Scandina-
vian Empire in the north. lie gravely says, however,
that if the tulip really exists, no importance is to be
attributed to the fact. Oh, yes ; let tt bo published in

SOUTH DEVON.

The directors of this company state in their report that
during the half•year ended the 31st of December last the
revenue receipts amounted to £102,614 as compared with
£99,526 for the corresponding half of 1862, showing an
increase of £3,085. The net balance of £29,596 available
for dividends is proposed to be apportioned as follows :

£5,070 annuities to the Ist of March, 1564, £2,250 divi-
dend en new shares, £6,753 dividend on additional shares,
and £13,776 dividend of £ll7s 6d per cent, per annum on
£1,40,425 consolidated stock, leaving a balance of £1,747
to the credit of the current half-year. The sum of
£2,285 has been expended on account of capital during
the half-year in new works and rolling stock. It has been
found desirable to provide for a further addition to the
company's plant, and contracts have been made for a sup-
ply of first and second class carriages and of goods break-
vans. The amount debited in the revenue account for re-
newals and maintenance of way and works exceeds the
actual expenditure by £1,294, which, after defraying the
deficit in the renewal fund of the previous half-year, leaves
a balance of £842 to the credit of that fund. The perma-
nent improvements in the structure of the line and works,
which have for some years been in progress, are now draw-
ing to an end. These charges have severely pressed on the
balances otherwise available for dividend, the entire cost of
the expensive renewals which have been effected having
been charged to revenue. This course, the directors con-
tinue to think, is politic and sound, although it has resulted
to the proprietors in depression of dividend. The capital
account to Dec. 31 shows £2,464,241 had been expended.
The revenue account for the past half year shows that
£102,614 had been received, and £51,402 expended, leaving
a balance of £48,212. From this is deducted £2,709, inte-
rest on debenture stock, £9,850 interest on loans, £1,294 re-
newal fund, £1,249 rent to Dartmouth company, and £4,036
rent to Tavistock company, leaving a disposable balance of
£29,596, including £521 brought from the preceding half
year.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER-MONDAY.

There was a large muster at the Subscription Rooms this
day. Bantam was chosen the favourite for the Liverpool
Steeplechase, and closed at 11 to 1 (taken freely), Emble-
matic, Martha, Serious Case, and Thomastown were in
demand at the prices quoted; but, notwithstanding the
support awarded to Emblematic, Emblem remained steady
at 100 to B.—Speculation on the Chester Cup was of a
peculiar character; but it was evident there was money for
Change, Blackdown, Carisbrook, and Little Stag ; and, at
any advance on the prices named, Change and Carisbrook
would have been invested on.—For the Waterloo Cup, the
nominations of Lord Lurgan, Messrs. 11. Haywood, Lloyd,
Knowles, and Bland were again in demand; and 25 to 1
was taken as long as obtainable against the nominations of
the " two Campbells."—Closing prices :

BRIGHTON ELECTION.

The election of a member of Parliament to fill the Warw.,
in the representation of Brighton, occasioned by the resit'
There
nation of Mr. W. Coningham, took place yesterday.
were five candidates in the field, three of whom were Libe:
rals, the other two being a Conservative and a Protestant
par excellence. All through the election, which has beeli
one of the most keenly contested that has ever taken Plees
in Brighton, there was a lamentable want of union alneng
the Liberal party, each of -the three opposing
maintaining his determination to go to the poll at eit
hazards, although repeated attempts to effect a compromise
were made. Cne of these consisted in a proposal made
the Hon. H. Brand, M.P., that the difference should b°
decided by a preliminary ballot of the electors, but thig,
was set aside in consequence of the agent of cue of the
candidates insisting that the whole of the electors,
ino
ing the Conservatives, should be comprised in it. Pry
posal that the difficulty should be referred for settlercent ~
candidate!.
Mr. Brand, Mr. Cobden, and another member of Parliserell!'
also failed to produce the desired result. It was understood.
that at the last moment a desperate attempt would be Ode'
e
to keep out the Conservative candidate, by a union of
til
Liberal interest about noon in favour of the candidate oil°
then headed the poll, and consequently almost frantic efferte
were made by the agents of the several Liberal candidsteet°
get their respective supporters to vote early. The Wier);
of each candidate for early polling arose from the fact that
a large number of the Liberal electors had not prowls
their votes to any one, and it was expected they would vet
for the one who had polled the largest number of votes oP
to noon.
The consequence of this dissension among the Liberal
arty, as was all along foreseen, was to give an easy vietli
to the Conservative candidate, Mr. Moor, who was retulia,
at the head of the poll by a large majority. Mr. -01°3`-',
finding his chance of success gone, withdrew from the
ce.4
test between 10 and 11 o'clock. Mr. Fawcett headed:,
poll for the first two hours, when he was overtaken bY
Moor, whose majority steadily increased until the nieto
the poll. At 4 o'clock, when the voting ceased, the nubP'
were as follows :
Mr. H. Moor (Conservative) ....... 11624
Mr. H. Fawcett (Liberal)
Mr. F. K. Dumas (Liberal) 229
Mr. J. Goldsmid (Liberal) ..
Mr. E. Harper (" Protestant") .......... 11 tip
The town was in a state of great excitement during ,00
day, and a good deal of squabbling and fighting took /4_ to
among the " roughs" who congregated at the entrap
so
the v arious polling-booths and in front of the hustings'
no serious breach of the peace took place.

MARYLEBONE.

A BURGLAR SHOT.-At the sitting of the court th's
morning, information was brought that a burglar had been
shot under the following circumstances. About a quarter
after two on Thursday morning last, Mr. 'Witzberg, of 92,
Marylebone-road, was awoke by hearing a noise in his back
yard, and also by the cracking of glass. He immediately
got out of bed and opened the parlour-door, which is on a
level line with the passage leading from the yard. Mr
Witzberg then saw a man's face against the glass in the
door. The man was busy in doing what is termed " star-
ring" the glass—that is, placing a piece of paper, or
rag on which is a sticking substance, such as pitch, against
the glass. This prevents it falling about when broken. By
this means the burglar can get his hand inside to undo any
bolt or bar, Mr Witzberg saw that the burglar had forci-
11Yetalingbliii-iilaise and property. He got his pistol (a
saloon breech loader), and loaded it with a small size shot.
He fired at the burglar, who instantly ran into the yard,
and made his escape up a pair of steps over a wall into an
adjoining garden. The discharge of the pistol made little
or no noise. Mr Witzberg shouted "Police" and
" Thieves." They were instantly on the spot at the rear
of the house, and had Mr Witzberg continued his alarm
at the rear, no doubt the burglar would have been cap-
tured. Instead of thia,;however, he went to the front door
and loudly sprang a rattle in the Marylebone-road. This
caused the officers to at once run round to where the sound
came from. It was then discovered that the burglar had
made his escape by getting over the gardens from No.
91 to No. 93, and then over a low wall into Garden-
road. From this place, along Allsop-mews, Baker-
street and near to Paddington-street. The track of the
burglar was traced by the continuous flow of blood from
the wound he had received. The shot, no doubt, must have
taken effect about the neck or right jaw. The burglar stole
a few articles of linen from the waslahouse of Mr Witzberg.
He, however, left them behind in the closet of 96, Maryle-
bone• road. No other property was missed. No doubt the
burglar, who had no hat on, and must have got weak from
loss of blood, hailed a cab. Sergeant Cohete, detective
officer, 16 D, is busily engaged in endeavouring to find out
any cabman who might have driven the burglar.

THAMES.

TRH GREEN-EYED MONSTEL—CONNING IT OYER.
A. middle-aged, well-dressed, and very comfortable well-
to-do conk+, named Richard and Susan Conn, came before
Mr Paget for a reconcilement of their matrimonial diffe-
rences, Richard appearing as defendant.
Mr Charles Young, for the complainant, 'said her hus-
band was terribly jealous of her, and hence their unhappi-
ness. The defendant had called his wife very bad names,
and was continually charging her with infidelity, although
there was not a shadow of foundation for such a charge.
Two young men were living next door to the parties to
whom the wife was unknown, and he was jealous of them.
The defendant was in the practice of getting up in the
middle of the night looking for imaginary young men and
gentlemen who came to see his wife, and he had threatened
and beaten her. The parties had been married thirteen
years, they had no children, and had agreed to separate.
The defendant, who was a shipwright, earning good wages,
had agreed to allow his wife 13s 6d a week, and all that was
required of him was that he should not abuse or threaten
his wife in future.

The wife, a quiet respectable woman, confirmed the state-
ment of her solicitor, and stated that after dinner last
Sunday, and while her husband was making some arrange-
ments with the landlord and landlady about leaving the
apartments, she entered the rcoai, and he pulled her nose
and struck her on the wrist. On the following evening
she was in the house of her brother in Bath-street, Poplar,
and seated between hitn and a young man who came while
sho was in the house to inquire after a lodger, when her
husband entered, and on seeing the two men, began to
storm and rage, although there were women in the room,
He struck her, pulled her sister out of the chair, and made
a great disturbance. lie had ill-used her before. He was
in the practice of looking under the bed in the night time
concealed there, as he thought. Her hus •
forba 'nd‘ ywoausnog men"
oefuh"is mind with jealousy, fur which she gave
him no cause. . .

Mrs Latchford, of 7, Grand-street, Poplar, deposed to
the scene in her house on Sunday, and Mrs Skinner to the
assault on Monday evening, The defendant was very hasty
and irritable, and jealous of all the world.
]fir Paget said the defendant was a foolish man, and
ordered him to find one surety in the sum of D 25, and his
own personal recognizance in £5O, to keep the peace and be
of good behaviour to his wife for the term of six months.
The defendant-1 won't touch her. Do you thick there
are to geminds for my jealousy p

NORTH DEVON.

Yesterday thehalf-yearly general meeting of the proprie.
tors was held atthe offices, East India-avenue, East India
houso, Leadenhil-street ; Captain D. Warren in the chair
The report was aken as read.

The CHAIRM.N, in moving its adoption, congratulated
the proprietors 'n the successful result of the negotiations
with the Londca and South-Western, the result of which
was that the arialgamation of the two companies would
take effect in Jhauary n.ext. The terms originally offered by
the South-Wesern were not sufficiently acceptable to the
North Devon, !
ut the result of subsequent negotiations had
enabled then, o obtain from the South- Western £49 per
cent. instead C £47 lOs per cent, as originally proposed.
Under the arra,gements come to the redeemable preference
stock of the .:', c•th Devon would become preferential stock
of the South -lestern. The proprietors were the more to
be congratulatd on the arrangement that had been made,
seeing that sineside by they last met an act of Parliament had
been granted fr the construction of another railway almost
side wih that of the North Devon running from
Taunton to
Sctth Molton and Barnstaple. Had they not
succeeded in
liking the arrangement they had with the
South-Wester, they might never have made any arrange-
ment at all
; tut ,the surprising thing to him was that
having exPenCd half a million on the North Devon line,
and having ory
received so small a return, a competing
Company weul be found ready to invest the same district
with their oa
ital, He regretted the absence of their worthy
chairman, Nitrite, M.P., owing to a domestic calamity,
and conclude(by moving the payment of a dividend at the

rate of £1 163 per cent, per annum on the ordinary stock,
188 per cent. per annum on the A stock, and £3 12s rr
ent. per annum on th 3 B stock free of income tax.

The Count EYRE seconded the motion, and it was carried
unanimously, and thanks to the chairman and directors
concluded the proceedings.

sorTni DEVON.

The report of the directors states that the gross revenue
during the half-year ending the 30th of June amounted to
£96,625, and for the corresponding half o,f. 1863 to £89,217,
showing an increase of £7,408. The traffic receipts
amounted to £96,624, the expenses to £52,370, and the
profit to £44,254, against £34,970 for the corresponding half
of last year. The disposable balance amounted to £27,509,
of which £5,070 was for payment of annuities on the Ist of
September, £2,250 dividend on new shares, £6,753 dividend
on additional shares, and £11,939 dividend at the rate of
32s 6d per cent. per annum on the ordinary stock, leaving
a balance of £1,496. The capital expended on works and
plant amounted to £1,876; a credit of £1,762 had been rea-
lised by the sale of surplus property, reducing the outlay to
£ll4. The directors recommended an application to Par-
liament to enable them to raise additional capital of
£300,000 to provide plant and working stock, as the con-
tract for working the traffic would terminate in July, 1866.
The capital account showed that £2,405,733 had been ex-
pended, leaving a balance of £51,563.
