EXTRAORDINARY OUTRAGE BY BOYS,

The triumph of boys over the effigy of Guy Fawkes
has been attended this year at Bradford with a very
aggravated act of violence. The particulars were
stated before Messrs. Aldermen Rand, Brown, and
Light, and Mr. S. Smith, four of the magistrates of
that borough, on Saturday last, when no fewer than
30 boys and youths, from 13 to 20 years of age, most
of them employed in worsted factories, dyehouses,
and iron foundries, were charged with having com-
mitted a murderous assault upon Mr. Isaac White,
a respectable farmer, between 50 and 60 years of age,
residing at New Millerdam, Manningham township,
in the borough of Bradford. They were further
charged with stealing Mr. White's property. Mr.
Terry, solicitor, appeared for the prosecution ; Mr.
J. G. Hutchinson appeared for 14 of the prisoners,
and Mr. Cater on behalf of the others, the rest being
undefended. From the evidence of Mr. Orauhan,
chief constable of Bradford, it appeared that the
prisoners and other lads, to the number altogether
a
of 40 or more, went on Tuesday night last with
hand-cart to Mr. White's farm,
for the purpose of
stolen
conveying away pales and other fencing materials
to use as fuel for a bonfire. A tree blown down by
the late gales having been
previously
same boys for the like purpose, Mr. White kept
theywa watch uponhwe

ordered them to desist. He then laid hold of the
hand-cart, and no sooner had he done so than he

house, where he has been confined to bed ever since.
Nine of his teeth
Were knocked out, and he was
severely out and bruised all over. Dr. Bell was
called in to see him the same night, and found him
in a half-oonseious state. The doctor considered Mr.
White's life in danger at the time, but on visiting him
on each of the three following mornings he ap-

he complained of pain in his head. In his evidence
on Saturday, Dr. Bell said he had not visited Ain
White that morning, but on the previous day be
was progressing favourably. Still, if he continued
to go on favourably, he would not be able to attend
the court to give evidence before a fortnight hence.
The Bench remanded all the 30 prisoners fora week)
but consented to take bail for their appearance.
Eleven of them, who were said to have been the
most active in the commission of the outrage, were
severally required to find two securities in £lO
each and to enter into their own recognisances in
the sum of £2O, and the remaining 19 to give bail
in half those amounts for their appearance nest
Saturday. Mr. White, the prosecutor in the case,
is well known in musical circles in the West Riding
of Yorkshire, and is much respected.

LAW INTELLIGENCE,—Nov. 10.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

THE QUEEN V. TRAIN, HATHAWAY AND OTHERS.

THE LATE TRAMWAY.

In this case, which was a prosecution against the
defendants for laying down, contrary to law, a train'
way in the Queen's high-road, from Westminster
bridge to Kennington-gate, and which resulted in,
a conviction of the defendants, and the uprooting 01
the tramway, Mr. Joyce now moved for a rule to
show cause why an attachment should not isans
against the defendant (Hathaway) for the costs in'
curred in the prosecution of the indictment against
him ; and calling upon his bail—he having gone to
America—to show cause why their recognisaneea
should not be estreated. Train, one of the defee•
dants, had been personally served with a rule before
he left, this country for America, where, according to
the public journals, he was at present; but Rath'
away had evaded service.
Mr. Justice Wightman—As far as the principal
is concerned you are entitled to a rule absolute.;
and as far as the bail are concerned, to a rule nag'
Rules absolute and nisi accordingly.
SABEY V. STEPHENS-MISCONDUCT OF A JURYMAN'

This was an action brought by an aged widow'
to recover compensation in damages against the de'
fendant, for loss sustained by her in the death of
her son, owing to his (vie defendant's) alleged neg'
ligence in the erection of a scaffold on which the
deceased and others were at work, and by the break"
ing down of which plaintiff's son and another work'
man lost their lives. It appeared on the trial, which
took place a few days ago before Mr. Justice
Crompton and a common jury in the Bail Court,
and which resulted in a verdict for the defendant,
that the deceased was a carpenter, in receipt of 335•
a-week wages, and that the defendant is a zinc'
worker in Old-street-road, St. Luke's. The accident
occurred in St. Martin's-hall, where the defendant
was employed to place zinc plates to reflect the
sun-light. To do that it was necessary to construct
a scaffold, and a swing one was determined upon eti
a suitable construction for the accomplishment of
the object. The deceased and other parties, I°'
eluding the defendant, were on the scaffold whey'
unfortunately, one of the poles sustaining the
planks broke, and all but the defendant were pre'
cipitated to the ground. The deceased and another
were killed by the fall, and the other pal ties who
fell were more or less injured. The defendant
saved himself by clinging, to and holding fast
by 'a gas pipe, until a ladder was procured, and We
rescue from imminent danger was effected. The
evidence for the defence was, that the materials ern-
ployed in the construction of the scaffold were
sound, but that in support of plaintiff (who mainll
depended on her son for support) was that the de.
fendant's negligence consisted in his employing
unskilful persons to construct the scaffold.
At the conclusion of the ease, and shortly after
the verdict had been delivered, a juryman ad'
dressed the learned judge, and complained that one
of his brother jurors, as he was informed, bad
written to the defendant, hoping as they had given
him a verdict, that he would in return give them
compensation.
The learned judge expressed his indignation at
such conduct, but regretted that he had no power
to deal with it.

Mr. Sergeant Parry now made a similar rePre:
sentation to the full Court, and complained that
the pure stream of justice was contaminated by
such a proceeding.
The Court intimated that, as the conduct 0,°11;
plained of was represented to have taken Palo
after the trial had concluded, they had no Po
to interfere.
