FRANCE.
The postal conventions between France and the
Netherlands and France and the Grand Duchy of
Luxembourg, concluded on the Ist and 28th Novem-
ber last, and ratified on the 18th January, are pro-
mulgated in the Moniteur. The Moniteur also pro-
mulgates an additional convention to the treaty of
commerce and navigation between France and the
Two Sicilies. This convention was signed so far back
as 12th May, 1847, and is in the name of the King
of the French. It is accompanied by a declaration of
the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Naples, from
which it appears that the delay in promulgating it
was caused by the French Government being anxious
to obtain some concessions for French steam-vessels,
especially for those employed in the Post-office ser-
vice in the Mediterranean, which concessions have
been granted by the Neapolitan Government. The
treaty is to come into operation from 15th March.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT
OLD COURT.

THE TRIAL OF ARNOLD GERBER, WILLIAM WAGNER,

AND PHILIP KESSLER. ;
(Continual from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)
Salomon Krahcour, examined by Mr. Huddlestone,
said he had known Wegner for twelve or fifteen months.
Had been in the habit of meeting him at Kessler's end
a
Place, Leicester-square. He told witness
ho
o would
couldlice Leicester-place,
him in the way of making money if
procurehe the signatures of people. For a time he
did not bring any, but afterwards he did give him some
signatures. To his knowledge he was not aware be had
made use of them. Wagner said he would receive a
cheque for Kessler, and get 3501. for it at the London
and Westminster Bank, under the name of Selin, Dean,
and Company. He added that 101. per cent. would be
deducted for getting the blank cheque, and
the remainder would be divided in four equal
parts—one for the informant, one for Wagner,
another for witness, and the other for the man
who got the money. Witness was to engage a man to
get the money, and to make a bargain with him as to
his share. It was arranged that this person should put
an advertisement in the newspaper, and that witness
should instruct him to call at a certain place and ask
for Mr. Simms. He had known Gerber for several
years, and after this conversation with Wagner he
visited him, and asked him if he would like to go for
the :noney. He at first raised objections, but afterwards
when he told him that he was instructed to say
that the matter was so arranged, that if anything should
happen to him he would be cleared from suspicion, he
consented to go to the bank. Witness informed Wagner
of his assent, but said he was very poor and had no re-
spectable clothes to wear. He requested witness to lend
Gerber a coat, and gave him 171. or 18s. to enable him
to take his trowaers and waistcoat out of pledge.
Wagner on that occasion showed witness a cheque
for 8L 7s. on the London and Westminster Bank,
which witness got cashed several days afterwards;
subsequently witness wrote out an advertisement for a
light porter or messenger, and requested Gerber to in-
sert it in the Morning Advertiser. He gave him 2s. 6d.
or 3s. for that purpose. He also lent him a coat and
purchased for him a hat. Gerber was to meet him op-
posite Osmond's Coffee-house on a Friday. Wagner, a
short time previously on that day, went to the coffee-
house, and left the note for A. G., signed in the name
of Simms. Gerber met witness as appointed, and
they went into a public-hours and had some
bread and cheese and ale, and on that occa-
sion he made Gerber call at Osmond's avd get
the note. On the Saturday following Wagner gave wit-
ness the cheque, and some bags, telling him to place
them in Gerber's hands, and ask him to get the money
in ten twenties, and the rest in gold. Part of the notes
were to be taken afterwards to the Bank of England, to
be changed, and the rest to a money-changer's
in the Haymarket, where foreign money was to
be got for them. If questioned at the bank,
Gerber was to--9sit —received the cheque
from a man with dark whiskerie but he wee to describe
some mark on his face which would prevent any such
party being found. Wagner and witness followed Ger-
ber to the bank; they waited outside until they saw a
policeman go in, and then' they left. Gerber did not
know Wagner until he saw him at the Mansion-
house. When in prison witness asked Kessler why
he had done it in such a foolish way, and
he replied, that if he had known it would
have come to that he would ant have prepared the
cheque at all.
In cross-examination, he said he had been ten or
twelve years in this couutry. Previously he had been
a clerk. He had carried on the business of a cloth-
dealer abroad. His father failed in consequence of un-
fortunate speculations in wool; and not being able to
keep him, he had to support himself. He was about
twenty-three when he came to' England. Between
twenty-one and twenty-three he was u soldier
in his own country. He set up the business
of a small jeweller :in London. He had never
been in trouble before. By appearing in the wits
ness-box as a witness he expected to go home to his
family again. He bad neither been insolvent nor bank-
rupt. He had never been in trouble, but had bren
before a police magistrate for a statement made in
joking to his friends. He bad said be recieved some
money from a person_ _who committed a rohbery, but
that was untrue. --This Lord Mayor said it was
a very foolish- • jolesit'ieleitt -dismissed him imme-
diately. To the best di his recollection he had
not been before any other 'magistrate. He was a native
of Prussia, and resided in Berlin. He had never been
in the hands of the Berlin police. He was once charged
with winning 6/. at cards, but the inspector would not
take the case. He had been in the habit of playing lately.
The policemen who bad watched the movements of
the prisoners for some weeks previous to the attempted
utterance, in consequence of the suspicion they enter-
tained, were then called on to connect the one with the
other.
Several other witnesses were then examined, whose
evidence tended to confirm the statement made by the
man Krahcour, in many important particulars. His
evidence with regard to the places he had gone to with
the prisoners was shown to be correct; and the waitress
at Osmond's coffee-house proved distinctly that on the
day mentioned by Krahceur the prisoner Wagner was
at the house, and that he told her to call him if any ono
should inquire for a person named Sims. Various other
facts were also proved, which left no reasonable doubt
that the accomplice had given a true account of the
share the prisoners and himself had taken in the nefari-
ous transaction.
The Learned Counsel for the prisoners severally ad-
dressed the jury on their behalf, the principal point re-
lied
by
y all of them being that the accomplice was
credit, particularly after he had himself
he
en wg
admittedoau rvp
teohny
ofthat he hoped to free himself by the evidence
against the prisoners.
Mr. Jastice Wrnniams having summed up the whole
case, the jury, after a very short deliberation, returned
a verdict of Guilty against all the prisoners.—Sentence
was deferred.

NEW COURT.
(Before the REcoanEn.)
Charles 'ash, 26, agent, was indicted for feloniously
forging a transfer in the stock of the Waterford, Wex-
ford, Wicklow, and Dublin Railway Company, with in-
tent to defraud Peter Hanstoek._
The jury found the prisoner Guilty.
The prisoner declared his entire innocence.
The sentence was postponed, in consequence of a
point of law arising in the case, which would have to be
determined by the Court of Appeal.
John 35, porter, was indicted for feloniously cut-
ting and wounding Elizabeth Miff', with intent to murder
her.
Mr. Payne prosecuted; Mr. Robinson defended the
prisoner.
The Learned Counsel for the prosecution opened the
case as one on which the only question the jury would
be called on to decide was, whether at the time the pri-
soner committed the act he was in such a state of mind
as rendered him legally responsible for his actions.
The evidence went to show that the prisoner lived
with the prosecutrix, who was his mother, at Newing-
ton, and it appeared that they were on the most al ee-
donate terms. On the day named in the indictment,
however, which was Sunday, the prisoner, without the
least provocation, seized a razor and attacked his niothr.r
with it, and inflicted a most severe injury upon her
throat. He then, it appeared, rushed into the street, ex-
claiming " I have done it—l have murdered my mother."
The act in itself was almost a sufficient indication of in-
sanity, but it was proved when taken to Horsemonger-
lenge Gaol the prisoner was in a state of raving mad-
ness, and although he somewhat recovered afterwards.
he relapsed upon being removed to Newe'ate, and Dr.
M`Murdo, the surgeon of .that prison, stated that he was
decidedly insane, and incapable of distinguishing be-
tween right and wrong. It was also proved that it had
been found necessary to restrain him some years ago, and
his mother had been recommended to place him in an
asylum.

:The jury, without any hesitation, Acquitted the pri-
soner on the ground of insanity, and he was ordered to
be detained during her Majesty's pleasure.

year, when he exchanged it with the female plaintiff,
who was Cooper's sister, for his own note of hand. The
ease on the part of the defendant was, that in Decem-
ber, 1847, there was a settlement of account between
the defendant and Cooper, and that Cooper being in-
debted to the defendant on another bill for 7501., it
was agreed between them that this bill for 5001.
should be set off against that, and so the balance due
to Mr. Mousley was reduced to 2501, Cooper was
called as a witness by tne plaintiffs, and denied the
making of any such agreement. He statrd that there
was no settlement of account at all, but that Mr. Mousley
said that if ho brought back the 5004 bill he would take
it as cash. The female plaintiff was also examined as a
witness to prove tho ei,curnstalices under which she re-

• HOME ClRCUlT.—Hertford, Feb. 26.
The business of this circuit commenced on Wednes-
day by the opening of the commission for the county of
Herts, at this place. This morning both Courts pro-
ceeded to business, Mr. Baron Parke presiding on the
Civil Side, and Mr. Justice Coleridge in the Crown
Court. There were only twelve causes on the Civil
Side, three of which are to be tried by special juries.
There are twenty-eight prisoners for trial, and several
of the cases are of a very serious character.

CROWN COURT.—(gefore Mr. Ju'tice COLERIDGE.)
Thomas Sutton, 24, sailor, pleaded guilty to firing a
stack of meadow hey, the property of James Saunders,
of Redbourn.

The prisoner said poverty had driven him to do it.
Mr. Justice COLERIDGE said that his offence was a
most heinous one, and his pleading poverty was no ex-
tenuation, for the destruction of property would no*
alleviate it.

He was transported for fourteen years.
Charles Woodward, 15, was indicted for setting fire
to a rick of barley, valued at 1201., the property of John
Dickenson, at Abbott's Langley.
Mr. Chambers prosecuted.
It appeared that prisoner was borsekeeper at the
Chambers Bury Farm, and had been so since Michael-
mas. On the 24th of November the prisoner was seen
to go and come out from a parsnip bed close to the end
of the rick, and almost immediately after the rick was
an fire froni that end, and no one else had been seen
near the place but him. As soon as the fire was disco-
vered he was sent to inform the bailiff of what had oc-
curred; but instead of so doing he let some one else go,
neither did he evince any disposition to assist in getting
the fire under, but 'stood about with many others, who
refused to help, end at last went home and went to bed,
saying that ho was ill. On the next day, when spoken
to about the fire, and told that the police would put some
questions to him, he left the farm without saying that
he was g ing, and was taken a: his father's house, a dis-
tance of twelve miles, and then he said he was not
guilty. Not any motive could be assigned for the pro-
secution for the commission of the act.—The jury Ac-
quitted him.
Daniel Richardson, 22, cooper, a respectably-dressed
young man, was indicted for having, on the 21st of Au-
gust, 1851, administered, and attempted to administer, a
certain poison, called cantharides, to his mother, with
intent to kill her.
Mr. Rodwell prosecuted, and Mr. Chambers defended.
The circumstances of the case were somewhat pecu-
liar. The prosecutrix is a widow, living in Poni-street.
Baldock, and holds some household and other property
under the will of the prisoner's grandfather, which at her
death reverts to her children. She and the prisoner
(who up to the time of this transaction lived with her)
were not at all upon good terms, and on the night of the
21st of August she was sitting at supper when the pri-
soner came home from London and came and stood by
her side. She had a glass of beer near her, and when
she took it up to drink she found something nasty in it
and spat it out. The prisoner observed that the glass
was dirty; she, however, kept it, as also some that was
in a bottle, and showed it to a friend, who said it was
cantharides. She then teaselled the prisoner's waistcoat
pocket, and there found some more cantharides. On the
following night, when the prisoner found that his mother
had taken his waistcoat, he became so violent and
abusive that she was obliged to call in the police, to
whom she mentioned the circumstance. Prisoner was
that night put out of his mother's house, and went to
stay at a neighbour's. The police in the meantime made
some inquiries, and found that on the 21st of August a
man answering the prisoner's description had attempted
to purchase some cantharides at the shop of a Mr. Isdelt,
Rydon-terrace, Shepherdess-walk, it. Luke's, near
where the prosecutrix's daughter lived. The chemist
identified the prisoner from among several others at
Hertford gaol.

Mr. Wii6on, a physician of Baldock, said there was
not a quarter enough to destroy life.
Mr. Justice COLERIDGE said there was no proof of any
intent to kill.

His LORDSHIP vinted out the law to the jury, adding
that it might have been done for a joke or to cause an-

The jury said they thought he had put it in the glass,
but not with the intent laid, and Acquitted him.
