LAW-THIS DAY.

SHERIFFS' COURT.

SUING A PRISONER IN NEIVGATE FOR DEBT.-.SINGULAR
CASE.-FRASER AND ANOTHER V.
O'BRIEN.--BISHOP V.

THE SAME.-EASTLED V THE SMIE.
In the first of these cases plaintiffs are attorneys who
sought to recover a bill of costs, and defendant was de-
scribed of " Newgate, Prisoner."
In the second case Mr. Bishop, well known of Bond-
street, is the plaintiff, for money expended on defendant's
behalf, and in the third case Mr. Eastled sought to recover
for some wine.

Mr. Bramwell, for the defendant, did not dispute the
cases upon their merits, but at theltime the defendant was
served with these writs he was prisoner in Newgate.
His Honour—l have jurisdiction over Newgate.
Mr. Fraser--The defendant was served in Newgate be-
cause we could not get at him anywhere else.
Mr. Bramwell—Newgate cannot be said to be his resi-
dence, nor his place, neither can he attend to the summons
when served. It has been held that a person cannot be
served in a publichouse.
Mr. Fraser—The defendant was sentenced to three
months' imprisonment for a very gross libel on Messrs.
Lewis, and as we could not get his address we waited till
we caught him in Newgate.
Mr. Bramwell—l must press the point that a prisoner
confined in gaol for an offence cannot be served with process
in this way.

His Honour held that this Court had jurisdiction over
Newgate, and quoted the case of Massey and Burton, in
which the Lord Chief Baron had laid down that, when a
man stayed at an hotel one night, the service was efficient.
Mr. Bramwell—But here is a man serving his sentence.
His Honour—.I must hold that there is a good service,
and find for the plaintiff, with costs.

AIRLA).
This was an attachment against the garnisher Fox, who
was alleged to hold in his hand certain moneys belonging to
the Countess di Airla, who was indebted to the plaintiff in
the sum of £69 odd.
The plaintiff's claim arose out of services rendered to the
Countess as agent in this country, and it was stated that
the garnishee held some moneys belonging to her. This
money was attached by the plaintiff, and as the Countess
disputed the claim, notice of defence was given and counsel
instructed; but to-day, during the hearing of another
cause, the parties agreed to a verdict of £lB, which was
entered accordingly.

CA7IIERINE WILSON.

THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 23, 1862.

" CATHERINE WILSON."

SHIPPING---THIS DAY.

The following is a verbatim copy of a letter writ-
ten by this extraordinary woman since her con-
demnation. It is addressed to a relative residing
at Moultan, near Spalding. The handwriting is
neat and good, but common-place, possessing no
peculiarity; it would appear to be a very difficult
hand to swear to. There are only three words spelt
incorrectly, and three or four slight grammatical
errors. With these exceptions, it might be taken
for the letter of an educated person :

" Gaol at Newgate, 6th October, 1862.
" Dear Uncle and Aunt,----With great pain I received
your letter, and with greater pain I sit down to answer it;
for it recalls to my mind past scenes too painful to dwell
upon.

"My dear friends—all of you—l must decline your very
kind offer of visiting me. I could not bear an interview ;
it would be too painful for ui all. You must think of me
as you last saw me ; that is the best for you to do. Twelve
months ago who could have thought of my being here ? Six
months to-day I have been in prison. How much better it
was for me when I feared God and thought of pleasing Him
more than man I Although innocent of the dreadful crime
with which I am charged, lam a great sinner, and I have
lived in wickedness and sin. Though I could deceive the
world, I could not deceive the Almighty. May he be more
merciful to me than man has been is my earnest prayer.
During my imprisonment I have received many letters
and seen many friends : one lady from Boston has visited
me, and written to me since my condemnation, but I got a
lady to answer it for me.

" I felt that I would answer this to you myself, and I
dare say it is the last letter I shall write; at least I think
so. lam in ill health, and cannot bear much. I do not
receive visits from any one now. I have this morning seen
my solicitor ; he is a very kind gentleman ; I have received
great kindness from him and his wife. I felt the interview
very painfully this morning. I have received a letter from
a gentleman in Lincoln, wishing for an interview, which I
declined. I cannot see any one excepting the religious
ladies who visit the prison.

" My time upon earth is very short. I shall be executed
on the morning of the 20th inst., at eight o'clock is the
morning, I suppose. May eod in His mercy receive my
soul i Jesus is a present help in the time of trouble; on
Him I cast my burden. It matters little how the body
dies ; may I he found right before the judgment-seat of
God. I care not what man thinks of me; it avails nothing
now to me.

"My dear relations—all of you—l take it as a great
kindness you sending me this letter. You once thought
much of me. Tbis letter has cost me many tears. I have
often thought of you all And now, dear friends, I give
you my dying love. Farewell.
" From your affectionate relative,

HEALTH OF GARIBALDI.- —Very alarming rnmouN
were current the whole of yesterday about the health of
Garibaldi. It appears that a telegram was received this
morning by an official personage in Paris from an agent at
Varignano, to the effect that the General's condition was
serious enough to justify the greatest uneasiness. Whether
the agent in question has reported truly I cannot say ; but
that the despatch has been received is, 1 have reason to be-
lieve, certain.—Letterfrom Paris.

THE INTERNATIONAL EXIITINTION.—Yesterday
the attendance was low for a day so near the time of closing,
though, considering the almost tempestuous state of the
weather, it was much higher than could have been antici-
pated. The total up to five o'clock was 37,427, of which
3,525 were by season tickets, 751 by shilling day-tickets,
and 33,151 by payments at the doors.

MOVEMENTS OF THE CONFEDERATE STEAMER
ALABAMA.—Some particulars in addition to those pub-
lished yesterday with reference to the movements and ope-
rations of the Confederate war steamer Alabama, or " 290,"
have since transpired. The steamer is described as being
armed with six heavy guns amidships, a pivot gun on the
bow, and another astern. The Emily Farnum, the vessel
captured and afterwards released as a cartel, has brought
to Liverpool a report of the capture and destruction of
the American whaling barqne Elisha Dunbar, of New
Bedford. The account given by Captain David R. Gifford,
of that vessel is as follows :—" Sept. 18, 1862.—Stron4
gales and rainy from the southward. At p.m., after running
about four hours, was brought to by a shot across uur bow
from the Alabama, and was ordered on board the steamer
with my papers. Capt. Semmes took them, and allowed me a
small trunk and each of my officers and craw a bag of cloth-
ing. We were then put in irons and placed in the waist of
the ship, where we remained exposed to the weather. wet
through and cold. The ship was then set on fire. At 8 p.m.
the first lieutenant had a sail spread over us, and put some
planks and handspikes on the deck, upon which we spread
the few mattresses we saved, and there remained for three
days, with the sea breaking over us and rain running
through our tent. The weather then moderated, and we
dried our clothes. On board the steamer we found Capt.
Tilton, of the American whaling bark Virginia, his offi-
cers and crew. The Alabama had destroyed his vessel the
day before. They fared the same as ourselves. Oct. 3.
Was released, and put on board the ship Emily Farnum,
Capt. Simes, from New York for Liverpool ; and on the
6th was transferred to the brig Golden League, of
Thomaston, for New York." Before the Emily Farnum
had lost sight of the Alabama, the Brilliant, Captain
Hagar, twenty-four days out from New York, for Lon•
don, with 30,000 bushels of wheat and large quantities of
butter, lard, ecc., was set fire to, and she continued to
burn all night. Captain Semmes, of the Alabama, is
reported to have made particular inquiries with reference
to the large American clipper ship Dreadnought, Captain
Samuels, bound from Liverpool for New York, which he
alleged has on board arms and munitions of war for the
Federal Gcvernment. The only bills of lading on board
the Emily Farnum, certificated by the British Consul, were
those for lard and tallow, from Messrs. Troost, Schroder,
and Co., of New York, who fortunately had taken that pre-
caution.

HEROIC RESCUE.—Out shipping intelligence of
Tuesday, Oct. 21, contained the brief announcement
from Newhaven that the Wesleyan, of Goole, from
Portland to London, went down off Newhaven, " crew
saved." Beneath these few words lies the record of as
gallant an action as was ever performed in the annals of
the sea. Nr. Green, the master of the Wesleyan, states
that he left Portland on Thursday about 3 o'clock, and
early on Friday morning experienced very heavy weather,
in consequence of which she sprang a leak. On board were
his wife and six children. With his crew, consisting
of two men, he worked incessantly at the pumps, but the
water continued to gain on them. In the afternoon she was
observed by the crew of the Wave, of Colchester, Dorman
master, about five miles to the westward, and nine miles
S.E. of Newhaven. Perceiving that she was disabled, the
Wave ran as near the Wesleyan as she could venture, and,
finally, in the face of a sea running mountains high, Dorman,
the master of the Wave, leaving two men on board his own
vessel, launched his own boat, quite a cockle-shell compa-
ratively speaking, and with three other brave fellows made
for the Wesleyan. The boat was nearly swamped several
times, but at last they managed to get on board. Here a
truly heartrending scene awaited them. The bulwark,
were all gone, the boat was stove in, and the sea
was making a clear sweep over them. The three men
were utterly exhausted, and the poor woman and her six
children were sitting huddled together below, in nearly
three feet of water, which was pouring in from the deck.
The youngest child was only six months old, and the cries
of the poor little creatures were so pitious as to unnerve the
strongest man. Then came the difficult task of getting Mrs.
Green and the little ones on board the Wave, and this was
accomplished, although the boat was half full of water.
Dorman and his men, after working at the pumps for three-
quarters of an hour without any diminution of the water in
the hold, abandoned her, and the crew were taken on board
the Wave. In less than.five minutes the Wesleyan sank
with everything belonging to the poor creatures except the
scanty clothes they stood upright in. The Wave beat up
into Newhaven harbour, and landed the crew and family
thus narrowly saved from death.
