MR. WEMYSS JOBSON AGAIN.-APPLICATION FOR A
WARRANT FOR PERJURY AGAINST MR. DISRAELI.—
Directly Mr. Ingham took his seat on the bench this morn-
ing, Mr. Wemyss Jobson, addressing him, said—l won't
apologise for my shabby exterior, because if your worship
peruses the Times and other papers of this day, you will
find that it is no fault of mine that I appear in this mise-
rable plight, but of the magistrates of the House of Corm•
tion who so sent me out after my own clothing had been
destroyed by fire there. My state of external filth, how-
ever, is insignificant and unworthy of notice compared with
the loathsome filth within the walls of that gaol of
which I feel it my duty to complain on public grounds,
and I hope that if the reporter can find terms to express
the complaint I have to make without the imputation of
indelicacy, he will do so. After my incarceration in the
gaol for months, where it is known the sexes are divided
and never see each other, I was afflicted with two loath-
some diseases, which can only arise directly from pas-
sion and impurity. With these I must have been
afflicted by the filth of the prisoners' clothing. As the exis-
tence of such diseases is calculated to destroy the happiness
of many a circle, I must repeat my hope that for the bene-
fit of others this may obtain publicity. I now will proceed
to the subject of a more material complaint. I was
here a few days ago applying to Mr. Arnold, and it is at
his request and by his directions that I apply here to-day.
have come for redress against Mr. Disraeli. When I was
here before I told Mr. Arnold that I should want to make
him a witness, and he therefore referred me to you. The
perjury of Mr. Benjamin Disraeli is to be found in a letter
having the seal of the English Exchequer, and written by
Sir C. Ryan, the private secretary, I believe, to Mr.
Disraeli. I produce the letter; you will See it bears the
seal of the British Exchequer.
The letter, addressed] to Mr, Weaiyss Jobson, bore date
the 31st of May, 1858, and had been directed to Nassau-
street, New York. It thanked Mr. Tobson for his article
in the Denzocratie Review on Lord Palmerston, and was
signed " Charles L. Ryan," and purported to be written by
the directions of the then Chancellor.
Mr. Jobson continued—l :produce this letter to contra-
dict Mr. Disraeli's statement that no letter had ever been
written to me by him or by his authority,
This letter,
perhaps, would have been trifling had it stood alone. lam
willing to make every allowance for a minister. I can,
because, that in the amount of business he has to tran-
sact he may give directions for a letter like this to be
Iwritten, and it may escape his attention ; but there are
other matters in which I ground my applications for a
warrant for perjury against him. When Mr. Disraeli was
here on the occasion of my being charged with libelling a
Scotch Baronet, with whom I am unfortunately related by
marriage, he said that I was a very
bad character, and had
written him a hundred threatening letters,
while I most
positively declare that I never
Wrote him one. How
can he reconcile my writing of
Such a letter? When
he got me sentenced at the Old Bailey a fortnight
after, he increased the number of letters to one hundred
and seventy. That was when I was tried for writing a
few paltry verses, which Sir James
Ferguson himself pub-
lished, and for which I received two years' imprisonment.
Look at those charged with libel in another country. Louis
Napoleon treats them as gentlemen, not as pickpockets, and
that was how I was treated. Mr. Disraeli also charged me
with so conducting myself at the British Exchequer that
he was obliged to order the clerks to
turn me to the door,
and I never was there in my life.
Mr. Ingham said he could do nothing in the matter.
Mr. Jobson then withdrew.

" ONE OF THE FAIR
BEY."—Elizabeth Ford, a fine but
rather masculine looking female, was
brought before Mr.
Combo, the presiding g e
ma-istiat .or final examination,
charged with having committed a most aggravated assault
on a female named Ellen Cambert,
ho has been confined
to her bed for the last fortnight in
Consequence of the in-
juries she sustained.

The complainant, whose face retained traces of the vio-
knee to which she had been subjected stated that last
Tuesday week, as she was going to her employment in Ber-
mondsey, she was informed that some person was assault-
ing her mothEr, whose life was in danger
home to Union-court, in the Borough and she returned
where she found the
prisoner beating her mother with her fist and kicking her
while she was on the ground. She entreated her to desist,
and the prisoner immediately attacked her with the most
savage violence, knocking her down, and kicking her until
she became quite insensible. By the assistance of some of
her Aeighbours she was conveyed to the hospital, where she
