NEW COURT.
(Before the Common Sergeant:)
PELoxionaLY 'WOUNDING.

THE SUM LONDON, WEDNESDAY' EVENING, DECEMBER 17, 1862.

LAW---THIS DAY. ,-

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
(Before Mr. Justice Willis.)
LLEWELLIN V. WINDEAIL-TIIE LATE LtNACY CASE.
The plaintiff in this case is Mr. Llewellin, who keeps a
boarding-house in Duke-street, St. James's, and the de-
fendant is Mr. William Frederick Windham, who some
time ago resided at this establishment,
The action was brought for the recovery of a sum of
money for board and lodging. The defendant paid £26
into court, and pleaded infancy for the remainder.
Only eight of the special jury answered, and after the
Judge had remarked with some :severity on the conduct of
the absentees, fined them £lO each. At this time a num-
ber of excuses were handed in, and some more of the jury-
men having arrived, bringing the number up to eleven.
The Judge having waited a considerable time asked
counsel on either side whether they would pray a tales, only
one juryman being required.
As there was no respohse, the learned Judge said he was
sorry the jury had had the trouble of attending, and he had
no alternative but to discharge them. The jury being
incomplete, the case must drop.
A large number of persons who were witnesses in the
late lunacy case were present for the purpose of being
100 I examined.

CRIMINAL COURT--THIS DAY.

OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Baron Martin.)
MANSLAUGHTER.
Frederick Smith, aged 36, smith, was indicted for felo-
niously killing Thomas Seville.

Hannah Wheatley, single woman, said she occupied a
room at 12, Wood's-buildings, Gravel-lane. The prisoner,
with his wife and three children, occupied the rooms on the
first floor above the witness. On the 22d of November she
heard singing in the prisoner's room. She saw her daughter,
Hannah Pearce, with some beer in a can. Soon after she
heard voices, and some one called out, " Give me the
change." She then heard the prisoner say, " I'll not."
The voice she heard first then replied, "Then I'll have it
out of you." A scuffle ensued, when the table was turned
over. Presently she heard a man fall down stairs. She
afterwards saw tha man at St. Thnm.R'. Hospital dead.

A police constable said when he first saw Searle he had
three severe wounds in his head. The prisoner admitted
he had committed the assault, and added that Searle should
not have come after his wife. He also told the police that
Searle had two or three times got his wife away from him,
and he had great difficulty in getting her back again.
The man was much affected, and said he should not care
what became of his own poor carcase, if it were not for his
own poor children.

The Surgeon said the man died from the injuries he had
received in his head. Over the right eye there were two
cuts one inch and a half in length.
The jury found the prisoner guilty.
Mr. Baron Martin sentenced him to nine months' im-
prisonment.

William Cairns, 62, carpenter, was indicted for feloniously
killing and slaying Alexander Norden.
It will be recollected that the death of the unfortunate
man was occasioned by a chisel, thrown by the prisoner,
entering his body. The men in the shop in which the pri-
soner was engaged had been throwing bits of wood at each
other, and one of these having hit the prisoner, he caught
up the chisel and throw it, ;when it accidentally struck
the deceased.

AFRICAN S

On the prisoner being asked to plead, he said he should
plead guilty to throwing the chisel which caused death, but
he had no intention of killing Norden.

Mr. Baron Martin said he would look over the depositions
before he passed sentence.

Salome Newmann, aged 17, was indicted for the wilful
murder of her infant child iu the parish of St. John,
Hackney.

C.0211P4. N

MEETING THIS DAY.

The half-yearly meeting of the African Sl:eams,n.p i Com-
pany took place to-day. Mr. Patrick 'ouglas Hadow in
the chair. The report, which was .:Lnanimously agreed to,
stated that, under a " Deed 04._ Covenant with the late Mr.
Macgregor Laird, it was P:greed that for ten years, from the
Ist September, 18523 -I!.e should be paid one-fifth part of the
amount, from time to time declared to be profits, available
for distribution ; and at the expiration of that period, which
took place~nthe 31st August last, an account was to be
stated of all the assets and liabilities of the company, and
any surplus of assets was to be considered surplus profits,
one-fifth part of which was to be paid to Mr
Laird. A settlement has been arranged between
your directors and Mr. Laird's executors, and a resolution
confirming same was laid before the meeting. The direc-
tors regretted to report the total loss of the Cleopatra, at
Shebar, on the 19th August last, while on her homeward
voyage. The chief engineer was unfortunately drowned
while going on shore, but the passengers and orew were
all saved. The mails, cargo, and passengers' luggage were
lost. The Cleopatra will be replaced by a vessel similar to
the Macgregor Laird, which had proved to be a very efficient
ship. With the exception of the loss of the Cleopatra,
the directors had much pleasure in reporting that, during
the past six months, the mail service had been performed
in a most satisfactory manner, the ships having kept their
contract time, and they were all in a thorough state of re-
pair and efficiency. The balance remaining to the credit of
revenue account, after making all these charges is £5,245
178. 6d., out of which the directors recommend the pay-
ment of the usual dividend of 7s. per share, free of income
tax, for the half-year ending 31st October, 1862. This
payment, together with the amount the directors propose to
pay the executors of the late Mr. Laird, will absorb £4,852
16s. Od., leaving a balanoe of £393 Is. 6d. to be carried to
the credit of next half-year's accounts.

The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report, and
after reverting to tho loss of the Cleopatra, said that the
company had sustained since the publication of the state-
ment another disaster by the wreck of the Dee, destined
for trading service on the Sierra Leone coast. This vessel
was overtaken by a tempest 400 miles on the north side of
Madeira, and after being abandoned she sunk. Notwith-
standing these losses, and the large provisions made for
future contingencies, the directors were enabled to recom-
mend the payment of the usual dividend, via., Is. per
share.

A vote of thanks to the directors terminated the pro-
ceedings.

From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner was a
domestic servant to Mrs. Bolton, a widow lady, residing at
14, Navarino-road, Dalston. In October last the mistress
of the prisoner found her in great pain, and evidently in
labour. Afterwards she gave birth to a child, concealed
the body, and denied it. The dead body of the child was
afterwards found on the top of the register of the stove in
the prisoner's bedroom, with a string tied tightly round
its neck.

POLICE-THIS DAY.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

PRISONS PREFERABLE TO WORKHOUSES.—EIiza Bryan
an inmate of St. Martin's workhouse, was charged before
Mr. Tyrwhitt, as follows :

The jury found the prisoner guilty of concealment of
birth, and she was sentenced to lii months' imprisonment
with hard labour.

Mr. George Leonard, surgeon, of 2, Salisbury-street,
Strand, temporarily acting as surgeon at the St. Martin's
Workhouse, said that on the previous afternoon, the pri-
soner, while in a state of intoxication, came into the ward
where he was attending the patients and made use of very
bad language, calling him an old -, and making a great
disturbance. She was then given into custody.
Richard Randle, the porter at the workhouse,corroberated
Mr. Leonard in some respects, and said the prisoner was
drunk,

Prisoner said that when she went into the workhouse
with her three children they were perfectly healthy.
Before long they were infected with a thousand diseases,
and removed to the foul ward, where one of them, a girl
of eight years of age, died. The other two were still in the
wird.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was very foolish for her to go on in
the way she had done, because the children must be cured.
Prisoner said that her children were put to sleep in the
same bed with other children who were badly diseased, so
that there was no chance of their being cured.
Mr. Leonard said they were put in the same place as all
those with infectious diseases.

Joseph Stennentz, 26, labourer, was indicted for feloni-
ously wounding Susan Osborn with a poker.
The Jury found the prisoner guilty, and he was sen-
tenced to 18 months' imprisonment.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said he was not a doctor, but he did not
see how a child could be cured if put to sleep and rub
against another child labouring under an infectious disease.
They might brimstone the child as much as they liked, but
he should think with very little effect. It was not to be
wondered at that persons in workhouses should complain,
and it answered the question asked why prisons wore pre-
ferred to workhouses, when gaols were so clean and com-
fortable. The prisoner had been proved to have been
drunk, and he should commit her for seven days, but as to
the children, he should suspend his judgment entirely.
