he felt satisfied, when the jury bad heard the evidence
he should adducs, they would be of opinion that he
was guilty of the grossest untruth. In conclusion,
th- L-srned Gentleman said that while all must de-
plore that those disturbances had taken place— while
all must regret that such outrages should have oc-
curred that night—he felt sure the jury woul feel it
to be their duty to vindicate the law, not by punish-
. ing persons who might be charged, but those who
were proved to be guilty, and by showing the inno-
cent that they should not be sacrificed.
The Court then adjourned.
On the opening of the court this morning, the pro-
ceedings commenced with the examination of wit-
nesses on behalf of the prisoners.
James Lane examined—About half-past eight on
the night of Tuesday, the 29th of June, I was going
through St. Peter's square to High-street, with the
-
prisoner Edwards. About 200 Irish rushed out from
Rock-row. They threw stones and hit Edwards
with a stone, which knocked him down " dateless."
Edwards bled very much, and was taken on a man's
back to Lingard's yard.
Cross-examined by Mr. WELSBY—Was going to-
wards Hillgate. There was no crowd of English
there at that time. Saw no fighting in St. Peter's-
square. Saw nothing but the Irish mob. Left
Edward's at Lingard's-yard. That was nine o'clock.
Knew that Edwards had been taken up. Went to
the Court-house when Edwards was accused of
being one of the Edgeley rioters. Did not then give
evidence.
John Roberts, an overlooker resided in Duke-
street, Stockport, deposed to carrying the prisoner
Edwards on
eight, on his back, from near St. Peter's church-gates
Tuesday evening, at about half- past
to Lingard's-yard. Witness then gave him to another
man, who carried him to the house of Catherine
Barton. At half-past ten o'clock witness again went
to see the prisoner at Mrs. Barton's. He had plaster
on his head, and was still insensible.
Catherine Barton, residing in Lingard's-yard, de
posed to the prisoner Edwards being brought to her
house about nine o'clock on the evening of Tuesday,
the 29th.
He was insensible. Was washed, and had
plasters applied to his head. He remained at wit-
ness's house until half-past eleven o'clock. About
ten o'clock witness spoke to the prisoner, but he was
"
still insensible. About eleven o'clock the prisoner
came round, and said to witness, " Who brought me
here ?
She told him that a man brought him to her
house on his back. Prisoner said he would try to go
home. Witness told him she had heard that the mob
had destroyed Edgley chapel, and that the soldiers
bad dispersed them. About a quarter past eleven
• o'clock the prisoner left her house.
Nancy Roberts, wife to the last witness but one,
deposed to seeing the' prisoner brought into Lingard's-
yard on the night of the 29th of June, about nine
o'clock. He seemed insensible. He was taken to
the pump and washed, and then taken into Catherine
Barton's
house, next door but one to witness's.
About a quarter past eleven witness saw the prisoner
in Catherine Barton's house. He was still insensible.
About a quarter past eleven saw the prisoner passing
witness's house. He was still staggering. Witness
said to him, "Now, go home, like a good lad." Be-
lieved he was then going home.
James Edwards, the prisoner's brother, stated that
the prisoner came home about half-past eleven o'clock
on the night of the 29th of June. His face was cut.
He looked quite " dateless," and staggered as if he
was tipsy.
Joseph Corcoran, the brother of William Corcoran,
the witness who gave evidence against the prisoner
Edwards the previous day, deposed that he was a
member of a burial society which met at the Old
Admiral Inn. They met on Tuesdays. On the night
of Tuesday, the 29th, witness met his brother Wil-
liam outside the Old Admiral. They went into the
public-house, transacted some funeral business, and
witness and his brother afterwards went towards
Carr-green. Witness left his brother at the Borough
Tavern, which was near Carr-green, and went home.
About a quarter or half-past ten witness was standing
at his own door with his pipe, and saw his brother
standing with some other men near the Borough
vaults. Witness went into the Borough Tavern and
had a glass of ale. He came out a little before
eleven o'clock, and saw his brother still standing near
the borough vaults. He bade him " Good night,"
and went home.
Elizabeth Rushton deposed to being in conversa-
tion with William Corcoran, in Carr-green, near the
Borough Tavern, at nine o'clock on the evening
of the 29th of June. Corcoran was in his shirt-
sleeves, smoking a pipe. Witness, Corcoran, and
some others were talking about the riots in Rock-
row. Witness left them, and about half-past nine
came back again. William Corcoran was still stand-
ing there. About eleven o'clock witness was standing
at the door of her house in Carr-green, and Corcoran
was still standing near the Borough Tavern in his
shirt-sleeves, smoking.
Mary Wardle, residing in Carr-green, deposed to
seeing William Corcoran on the night of the 29th of
June. He was in Carr-green, smoking his pipe. She
asked him if he had seen the row at Edgeley Chapel ?
and he said, " No, and he'd be d—d if he durst go."
He also said, " There's pretty work going on, but the
furthest I've been to. day is the top of the street."
Cross-examined by Mr. WELSBY—h conversation
with William Corcoran witness said to him,
They have begged it a long time, but they've got it
at last."
Mr. WELSBY-•-•Whom do you mean—the English
or the Irish, or both ? Witness—l mean them as

Mr. HUDDLESTONE said, he 11:..d no witnesses to

the case on behalf of the defence.

Mr. WELSBI replied on behalf of the prosecution,
and at a quarter past 4 o'clock his Lordship began
bis charge to the jury, and did not conclude until 7
o'clock.

His LORDSHIP said, the simple question the jury
had to try was whether the prisoners, or any of them,
were guilty of the offence of riot. It was not dis-
puted that riots of a most rerious and disgraceful na-
ture had taken place, and it was unquestionable that
those who took part in them and were found guilty
must be subject to very severe punishment. His
Lordship then went over the whole of the evidence as
it affected each prisoner, and, at the conclusion of
each, gave the jury an opportunity of considering
each case separately. With respect to the prisoners
Slater, Edwards, Preston, and Thomas Walker, the
jury at once pronounced verdicts of not guilty, and
with respect to the others postponed their decision to
the conclusion of the summing up. After the whole
of the evidence had been read over, his Lordship
merely observed, that the jury, as reasonable men
and as men of business, would consider whether all or
any of the prisoners were guilty, without any refe-
rence as to whether they were English or Irish, Pro-
testants or Roman Catholics.

The jury then retired, and having been out of
court a quarter of an hour, Acquitted Birch, William-
son, and William Walker; and found Pell, Buttery,
and Cleave Guilty.
During the absence of the jury his LORDSHIP in-
quired from Mr. Welsby what he meant to do with
the other indictments ?

Mr. WELsny—l hardly know at present.
The JUDGE—You are aware that under a recent
statute you cannot try for felony after a misde-
meanour.

Mr. WELSBT —I think your Lordship will find
that that Act of Parliament does not apply to this
case.

Mr. HUDDLESTONE asked for a verdict to be taken
upon the other indictments.
_

Mr. WELSBY declined to accede to this.
The JUDGE—Very well, then ; we will begin on
Monday morning, and go on.
His LORDSHIP asked Mr. Welsby whether the pre-
sent jury (they having given their verdict) might be
discharged ?

Mr. WELSBY-I can hardly answer that question.
His Loapsnrp was sorry he could not discharge
them, as they had had two hard days' work.
It was understood that the seven indictments for
felony against the prisoners would be pressed on
Monday.

NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Liverpool, Aug. 14.
Mr. Warren, Q.C., of this circuit, has, it is under-
stood, received the appointment of Recorder of Hull,
vacant by the late sudden death of Mr. T. Granger,
M.P., who held the recordership after Mr. Baines
vacated the office on being elected for the borough.
NISI PRIUS COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice
WIGHTMAN.)
TETLOW V. HOLDEN.

In this case Mr. Overeud appeared for the plaintiff
and Mr. Monk for the defendant.
This was an action to recover the sum of 1001.,
which had been deposited with the defendant as stake-
holder to abide the event of a race of four miles to be
run between the plaintiff and one Hayes for 2001.,
on the last Monday in September, 1851. The match
was made in May, 1850, and the whole of the deposits
were paid on Saturday, the 27th of September, 1851
(being the last Saturday in September). The race
was run at Aintree racecourse, near Liverpool, for
1001. aside. During the first three miles Hayes was
very much in advance of his competitor, and during
the straight run, just before arriving at the goal, it
was proved that the plaintiff was gaining very fast
upon Hayes, when a man in a fustian jacket stepped
before the plaintiff, tripped him up, and prevented his
gaining the race. The plaintiff at once stated the
facts to the defendant, as stakeholder, and requested
the repayment of his stake.
Mr. OVEREND, for the plaintiff, contended—first,
that the wager was unlawful, and that before the
money was paid over each party had a right to re-
cover back his deposit. Supposing, however, that it
was a lawful wager, that the event had never hap-
pened upon which the money was to be paid over, and
could never happen, inasmuch as a race could only be
won, within the meaning of the agreement, if both
parties were not prevented from contending against
each other to the end of the race.
The plaintiff was called, and he proved that the
stake was not his own, but was subscribed by his
backers, and that he was to have 5 per cent. in case
he won the race.
Mr. Justice WIGEITMAN held that the money be-
longed to his backers. The plaintiff had no interest
in the deposit so as to enable him to sue the stake-
holder, and accordingly the plaintiff was nonsuited.
CARTSIDE V. NRADBURY.

In this case the Attorney-General for the County
Palatine and Mr. Unthank appeared for the plaintiff,
and Mr. Sergeant Wilkins for the defendant.
This was an action brought by the plaintiff, as the
occupier of about nine acres of land adjoining some
land and a quarry occupied by the defendant, for al-
leged damage done to him by overflowing and in-
juring his land. For the plaintiff it was contended
that the defendant so worked his quarry and diverted
a watercourse from it, that the water overflowed the
plaintiff's land, and covered it with wreck and gravel,
and rendered the pond in his field undrinkable for
cattle. The water in the pond was so bad that on the
Bth of May, 1851, three cows in the plaintiff's field
would not drink the water, or, as the plaintiff said in
cross-examination, "they turned up their noses at it."
For the defendant it was contended that the action
was a disgrace to the profession of the law, as the de
fendant bad offered to the plaintiff to refer the ques-
tion of damage and the whole case to any impartial
person, and the plaintiff had told his attorney he
might do as ho liked, but that gentleman had pre-
ferred continuing the litigation. The damage from
the overflowing of the water was alleged to be the
result of natural causes, and it was contended that
the water from a sandstone quarry was not likely to
be of a quality at which cows would "turn up their
noses."

His LORDSHIP having summed up,
The jury found a verdict for the defendant.
CROWN COURT.—(Before Lord Chief Justice
CAMPBELL.)
Daniel Small and Thomas Wood were indicted for
stealing from the dwelling-house of John M'Farlane,
at Speke, on the 26th of April last, 33/. in money, a
watch, and a gun, his property; and a watch and
other things, the property of Thomas Edwards and
William Parker.
Mr. Monk and Mr. Ovens prosecuted, and Mr. T.
Atkinson defended the prisoners.
It appeared from the evidence of Ellen M'Farlane,
the daughter of the prosecutor, that she lived with
her father, at Speke-hall (an old-fashioned hall about
seven miles from Liverpool), and that about half-past ,
9 o'clock on the night of the 26th of April last she
was seated in the parlour with Mrs. Edwards, when
she heard a noise i❑ the kitchen, and on going to the
door she saw three men in the lobby, and asked them
what they were doing. One of the men answered,
" I will let you see what lam doing." This man had
a pistol in his hand and wore a black mask on his
face. The other two men were also masked. The
witness, on hearing this and seeing how the men
were disguised, screamed out and fell down, and the
man struck at her until she became insensible.
When she came to herself she was kneel-
ing with her head on the knees of Mrs.

Edwards, and the three men were then in the par-
lour. She cried out, " Oh, my father!" and one of
the men said, " Where is your father ?" She told
them he was out, although she knew he was in bed
up stairs. Two of the men then went up stairs, the
man who remained saying, " Make no noise, or will
shoot you." He had a pistol in his hand, and his face
blacked. Shortly afterwards the man she saw first
came into the parlour, and the servant girl Mary
Taylor was brought by the other into the room. The
first man then asked where the money was. She
answered, "We have none;" but afterwards said be
would find the money in the office at the bottom of
the kitchen. He then went out of the room, and a
woman who came for milk to the farm, named Sad-
don,
was brought in. The man who had gone out
returned, and said he could not find the money, and
that witness must go with him. She said she durst
not go, as he would shoot her. He said he would
not, and he took her by the hand and led her through
the kitchen to the office. There she saw a man stand-
ing with a candle in his hand, whom she had not be-
fore seen, also masked. On
getting into the office she
opened the drawer where the money was kept, but
there was none in it, and she said, " You have taken
the money. She then saw another man there disguised
with a candle in his hand, with his mask loose. She
afterwards saw that man upstairs with his mask off,
and
he told her not " to stare at him or he would blow her
brains out." That man was the prisoner Small. The

she had first seen, struck him several times with
bludgeons and pistols, and knocked him into a
chair. Her father then said to her, " Fetch me
my keys, and give them the money." She took
the candle to go up stairs, and Small said, You are
not going by yourself." She went into her father's
room and searched his clothes for the keys, but did
not,find them, and then said, "You have got the keys."
He said, " We have not," and stooped down to exa-
mine her father's small clothes, anal in doing so his
mask fell off partly and she saw his face. She then
recognised him as the prisoner Sm 11, whom she had
known for three or four years as a hawker. When his
mask fell off, the prisoner said to her, " Do you know
me She answered "No." He said "L's as well
for you." They then went down stairs into the par-
lour, and Small said, " Put the old rascal on the fire,"
and pulled her father by his legs along the floor to-
wards the fire. While he stooped down to do so she
again saw part of his face under his mask. They all
then left the room, and said they were going to Speke-
hall and would return in half an hour, and if they
found no money they would blow out her brains.
They fastened the door. She had told them the safe
was in the hall. One of the men afterwards returned
and said he had forgotten his coat. He got his coat
and then went away, fastening the door, and she saw
no more of them. She had seen Small the Friday
before at their house, and knew him both from his ap-
pearance and dress. She also recognised the prisoner
Wood by his dress and features, and by his eyes,
which are very dark. She had seen him at Woolton
as a witness for Small.

John M'Farlane, the agent of Mr. Watt at Speke
was then examined, and stated that on the night in
question he went to bed at nine o'clock, and heard
his daughter scream. He shouted out " Holloa,"
and got up, but got into bed again. Two men came
into the room ; one of them had a brace of pistols in
his hands, and the other had a bludgeon. He asked
them what they wanted, and they replied, " Money."
He said he had no money in his pocket, and the
shorter of the two men said, he knew witness had
got some money the week before," which was true.
-Witness put his hand under his pillow, and the man
asked him what he had got there, and witness an-
swered " his watch." The man said, " Give it to
me," and he gave it to him. The man then ordered
him to turn his face to the wall and struck him on
the side of the head with a bludgeon and ordered
him not to look at them. They then searched up and
down the room, the lesser of the men holding a
pistol in each hand,: and telling him if he did not
give up his money they would blow his brains out.
They then left the room, but shortly after returned
end pulled him out of bed, and then searched the
bed clothes. The taller man threatened to
strike him with his bludgeon for taking up a chair
to defend himself, and called to the man in the lobby
to come and take him down and put him on the fire.
They then dragged him down stairs in his shirt into
the parlour, where his daughter, the little man (one of
the prisoners), Mr. Edwards, the servant girl, the
servant lad, and Mrs. Seddon were. They then threw
him to the other side of the room, and struck him
with bludgeons, and threatened to throw him on the
fire. The witness then corroborated the account
given by the last witness. The little man was like
the prisoner Small, whom he knew, he having worked
for him several times. lie ku,,w him also by his
voice. When the men were gone he missed a gun
and 331. He was confined a fortnight from the in-
juries which he received.
Mrs. Edward, Mary Taylor, the servant, and
William Parker, the servant lad, corroborated the
statements of the last two witnesses, and said the two
prisoners were like two of the men.
The prisoner Small was afterwards apprehended by
the police, and when before the magistrates at Woolton
the other prisoner, Wood, was examined as a witness
on his behalf, when he was identified by Miss
M`Farlane, and apprehended.
This was the case for the prosecution.
Mr. ATKINSON then addressed the jury for the de-
fence, and called a number of Irish witnesses to prove
an alibi.
Mr. MONK having replied,
His LORDSHIP summed up with great impartiality,
and the jury Acquitted the prisoners.

WESTERN ClRCUlT.—Bristol, Aug. 14.
(Before Mr. Baron PIA TT and a Special Jury.)
GIBSON V. WILKES.
Mr. Slade and Mr. Ball were counsel for the plain-
tiff, and Mr. Sergeant Kinglake and Mr. Phinn for
the defendant.
This was an action brought by a merchant in
Gracechurch-street, London, against the defendant,
who was a spindle and brass manufacturer at
Wol-
verhampton, to recover 5401. for money advanced by
the plaintiff to the defendant. To this there were
three pleas—first, that except as to 251, which had
been paid into court, ho (the defendant) was not lia-
ble ; secondly, that except as to the 251., he had a
set off; and, thirdly, the defendant pleaded payment.
It appeared that these parties had had a good deal
to do together in mines, and the plaintiff swore that
he had lent the defendant money, and that he had paid
sums for him amounting to the sum now claimed in
this action. The real merits of the case were not very
important, but there were curious circumstances con-
nected with it.
The plaintiff was called and examined, and be
stated that he was a merchant in the city of London ;
that he had been introduced to the defendant. He
became connected with mining transactions, and par-
ticularly with the Royal Hibernian Mining Company.
They had gone to Ireland together, and the plaintiff
had paid all the expenses of the journey ; he had also,
at the request of the defendant, lent him money. In
consequence of the plaintiff having rendered great
service to the company it was suggested that they
should present him with a service of plate, and a day
was fixed for the purpose, and the defendant was to
be vice-chairman. The defendant said he thought it
requisite to have a diamond ring and a diamond pin
for that occasion, and in consequence a jeweller was
called in, and a ring was selected at the price of 25/.,
which sum, however, the defendant did not pay,
and the plaintiff had had to pay the money. The
defendant had also given the plaintiff's son a gold
snuffbox, of the value of 251., which the plaintiff had
also paid.
In cross-examination the plaintiff stated that he was
horn in the name of Gibson, but from his infancy
until within the last ten years he had gone by the
name of Howard, his maternal name, He had been
brought up in the military school, his father having
been a military man. He was afterwards placed on
board ship While there, 20 years ago, some infor-
mation came to his knowledge relative to his parent-
age, and he and another young man went on shore
and hired a gig to go and make inquiries. Upon
reaching London they wanted money to proceed with
their intentions, and to obtain that money they sold
the horse and gig. The plaintiff was apprehended,
tried, and convicted, and sentenced to seven years'
transportation. lie was sent to Australia. After he
had served out his term of punishment he set to work,
had been prosperous, and was now an extensive mer-
chant. Before his trial endeavours were made to in-
duce him to give up the name of the friend who was
with him when they sold the horse and gig. He,
however, resolutely refused to do so, and his friend
never was suspected, but he nowSrtsa .ted thatwas that

he had an interest in the Wine, ,
and that the money,
instead of being advaw

as profit arising from the mine.

a slight-made delicate boy of twelve
years old, the bridge of whose nose was so injured as
to render it level with his face, was placed at the bar
before Mr. D'Eyncourt, charged with stealing an iron
teakettle of the value of Is. 3d.
Mr. George Cash, an ironmonger in High-street,
Whitechapel, said--I was in my shop at six o'clock
last night, when a neighbour ran in and told me some
boys bad stolen a kettle from my door. I hastened
out after them, and overtook the prisoner at the end
of St. Mary's street, in company with others, with
the kettle in en apron. Toe other boys escaped, bat
I held this one till a constable came up, and gave him
into custody.
Mr. D'EyscounT (to the prisoner)--Well A Uo you
'
wish to say anything in answer ?
Prisoner—l did not steal th,?, kettle, Sir ; two boys
hold the bundle for a minute, hit the moment I
had got it they both went on very Pi. k le , and I went
on quick too to keep up with them, when -

formal terms whether h would prefer his dealing e lI
with the case to its being

Mr. Cash—Why, he slid the boys had given it
to him, just the same as he does now, and did net
try to get. away. I really don't wish to hurt the
led, if your Worship pleases, and should not have
given him into custody at all if it had not been for the
incessant robberies to which we shopkeepers are
daily subjected. It is generalldone by boys,

Mr. D'EYNCOURT—When did she die, then? Fri'
