CHARGE OF PERJURY.

James Edwards surrendered to take his trial for wilfn
and corrupt perjury. _ _ _

Mr. Sleigh, Mr. Bland, Mr. Besley, and Mr. Nicholson,
conducted the prosecution ; Mr. Metcalfe and Mr. Collins
appeared for the defendant.
This case stood over from the last session. The prose-
cutor was the Rev. Henry Hooper, who resides at Oaklands
House, Kingsdown, Kent, and the offence imputed to the
defendant was that he had sworn falsely that he had per-
sonally served the copy of a writ upon the prosecutor, and
had afterwards deliberately reiterated the false testimony.
Mr. Metcalfe, at the close of the case for the prosecution,
took a technical objection, contending that there had been
no legal proof that a judgment had been obtained against
the prosecutor, and that this was a material averment, and
that the defendant was consequently entitled to an
acquittal.
The point was argued at some length, and Mr. Sleigh
eventually asked that the enquiry might be adjourned to
• afford an opportunity to supply the necessary evidence.
The Recorder, having made some inquiries, said he was
at all times unwilling to allow a case to go off upon a tech-
nical point, and he would readily have adjourned this trial
for a short time if he thought it likely that the necessary
evidence could be obtained. As he did not think that this
could be done, it was his duty to direct the jury to acquit
the defendant on the graiind that the prosecution had
failed to establish a mutual averment contained in their
indictment.

The jury consequently returned a verdict of not guilty.
THE CHARGE OF LIBEL AGAINST CAPTAIN COLEBORNE.

In the early part of the day an application was made by
Captain Coleborne to postpone the trial of the charge of
libel preferred against him by Mr. James Phineas Davis to
the next session. The ground of the application was
that he had changed his solicitor, and that he had not_had
sufficient time to procure the attendance of the
necessary witnesses to establish his plea of justification
Mr. Giffard, Q.C., who was retained for the prosecution,
opposed the application, and urged that an affidavit ought,
at all events, to be made, stating what evidence it was
intended to bring forward, before the trial was postponed.
The matter stood over, and shortly before the rising of
the Court the application was renewed, and an affidavit
was put in.
The Recorder, after reading the contents, said he thought
the grounds set forth in it were sufficient to justify the
postponement of the trial.
Mr. Giffard suggested that if that course were taken the
defendant should be called upon to plead.
Mr. Wontner, jun., the defendant's attorney, said there
could be no objection to that.

MORETONHAMPSTEAD AND SOUTH DEVON.
The half-yearly meeting was held at Newton Abbot on
Wednesday ; Mr. J. Divett presided.
The report stated that possession had now been obtained
of the necessary land throughout the entire length of the
line, eta the contractors had made arrangements to pro-
ceed with the works with all possible expedition as soon as
a more favourable state of the weather would enable them
to do so. Of the special share capital of £25,000, about
£B,OOO remained unappropriated, for which the directors
were open to applications. The receipts and expenditure'
to the 31st Dec. last amounted to £60,771.
The report and statement of accounts were unanimously
adopted, and Mr. T. Woollcombe, the retiring director, and

Smith were tried upon an indictment charging them with
a robbery with violence.
The prosecutor, an aged man upwards of 80 years, named
Mark Reynolds, was employed by Messrs. Rickett and Co.,
the coal merchants, at one of their wharves, and it was
the custom to take the money received at that wharf dur
ing the day to the principal establishment, and the prose-
cutor was employed to take it. On the evening of the 21st

COCKERIsIOUTH, KESWICK, AND PENRITH.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held at
Keswick on Wednesday ; Mr. T. A. Hoskins in the chair.
The report congratulated the shareholders on the open-
ing of the line for passenger traffic, on the 2d January last.
The bridges and other works had been well tested, and the
whole railway greatly consolidated by the running of heavy
mineral trains over it for several weeks prior to the open-
ing for passenger traffic. The expenditure on capital ac-
count, including the cost of the hotel, at the end of last
year, was £297,420. The directors believed that the cost
of the line would be about £lO,OOO a mile, which was
largely in excess of the engineer's original estimate. An
additional sum of £45,000 would be required to complete
the expenditure, which would then be much less per mile
than other lines in the district.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report,
said the traffic was now approaching £2OO a week, and
would be considerable in the summer.
The report was adopted, the directors were authorised to
furnish the hotel, and the proceedings concluded with a
vote of thanks to the chairman.

CRYSTAL PALACE AND SOUTH LONDON
JUNCTION.

The directors' report states that the works on the line and-
at the station were in so forward a state that there was
every reason to believe the railway would be opened for
traffic on the Ist of July next to the new high level station
at the Crystal Palace. The London, Brighton, and South
Coast Company would complete by the same date their por-
tion of the South London Railway, which would give access
from the Victoria and Ludgate stations to the Crystal Palace
and South London Junction Railway. The London, Chat-
ham, and Dover Company had 'secured in their arrange-
ments with the Metropolitan Inner Circle Railway, now in
course of construction, exchange stations at Victoria and at
Ludgate, by which passengers on this company's line would
have the opportunity of booking to every part of the inner
circle line of 124 miles in length, by trains at three minutes'
interval at both those stations. The capital account showed
that £750,591 had been expended. •

SEVENOAKS, MAIDSTONE, AND TONBRIDGE.
The directors' report states that the traffic on the railway
continued steadily to increase, the receipts for the last half-
year being 27 per cent. in excess of those of the correspond-
ing half of 1863, and 81 per cent. in excess of those of the
corresponding half of 1862. Business would shortly be com-
menced at the goods station of the London, Chatham, and
Dover Railway Company on the river at Blackfriars, which
it was believed would bring a considerable increase of traffic
to the line. The agreement with the London, Chatham,
and Dover Company in respect to the construction of the
line between Sevenoaks and Maidstone had not yet been
finally settled, but was on the point of completion. The
capital account showed that £299,417 had been expended,
leaving a balance against the company of £4,495. The traffic
for the half-year ending December 31 amounted to £5,046,
and the working expenses to 50 per cent?, or £2,533, leav-
ing £2,523.

T.A.TTERSALL'S.-THURSDAY.

I The attendance this afternoon was meagre, and conse-
quently all attempts to throw spirit into the several efforts
at speculation failed. Instead of betting on the approach-
ing handicaps and the great events of the spring and sum-
mer, the probabilities of more frost and snow, or a thaw,
were more frequently discussed, especially in connection
with the Waterloo Coursing Meeting at Altcar, which, in
consequence, of the severity of the weather, has been post-
poned from day to day. The subjoined list of quotations
presents nothing worthy of especial mention, except, per-
haps the advance of the French horse, Heurlys, for the
Lincolnshire Handicap, the downward tendency of Chat-
tanooga for the Two Thousand, and the manifest disposi-
tion to back Liddington for the latter race. Closing prices;

COLONIAL.

TEA.—The public sales of Indian teas have been well
attended, and previous prices are generally maintained.
SUGAR.—A steady business has been transacted in West
India, and superior descriptions' have fully maintained
former rates. In the refined market there has been rather
more business transacted, only good common lumps are
quoted 425. per cwt.
COFFEE.—The demand for both plantation and native
Ceylon has been steady, while superior qualities have in
some instances realisedrather higher prices.

Iticz.—Only a moderate business has been done, and
quotations generally show no material change.
TALLow.—The market has been very dull, with a
downward movement in prices. P.Y.C. on the spot is
quoted 415., and last three months' delivery, 425. 6d.

THE TRIAL FOR MURDER IN IRELAND.—The
trial of Richard Murphy for the murder of his
sister Ellen at Ballybriggan, was (we learn by Electric
Telegraph), brought to a conclusion yesterday by a ver-
dict of not guilty. The prisoner, however, was not
discharged, as he has yet to be tried for the murder of
his other sister, Anne, which will probably commence
to-day.

Among the recruits who have lately joined the
15th Middlesex (London Scottfsh) Rifles as privates are
the Earl of Aberdeen, the Hon. F. Charteris (son of
Lord Elcho, M.P., commanding officer of the corps), and
Mr. Edward Ross, late captain in the Cambridge Uni-
versity Rifles.

SERIOUS FIRES.--About four o'clock yesterday
morning a fire broke out in the timber-yard be-
longing to Mr. Humphrey, in London-street, Dockhead,
Bermondsey. The whole of the extensive stores and a
dwelling-house were destroyed. The total loss is con-
siderable. Another fire took place in the premises be-
longing to Mr. Waters, a carpenter and builder, Black
Horse-yard, Gray's-inn-lane. The workshops and the
stock in trade, including the workmen's tools, were de-
stroyed.

FIRE AT A PRINTING AND STATIONERY WORKS AT
n3so'eelowcoks of Messrs. M'Corquodalekr
Yesterday morning a fire
NbrEokWeTo°uNt.aTitb°eexutteiv
and Co. (Limited), at Newton. The fire originated in the
envelope department, but the cause is at present unknown.
It spread rapidly and gutted the building. No workpeople
were on the premises at the time. The amount of damage
done has not been yet ascertained, but the stock was in-
sured for £18,250, which it is believed will more than cover
the loss. It is a curious fact that a few months since the
entire premises of the same firm in Liverpool were con-
sumed by fire. The printing office at Newton, which was
some little distance from the stationery works, escaped.
