LAW-THIS DAY.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Farm.)
IN RE M. A. °ATTER.
This bankrupt is a Mrs. M. A. Gayter, a well known and
popular vocalist, and this was a meeting for last examina-
tion and discharge.
Mr. Sargood supported, Mr. Reed opposed, and, in an-
swer to his questions, she said that she was a married wo-
man, but had been living apart from her husband for six
or seven years. She had obtained protection from Mr.
Locke the magistrate, but she had not got it with her. She
had applied to the Insolvent Court in 1859, and then gave
up the paper, but it had not been returned. She sometimes
made £4, £5, and £6 a week from her engagements.
Mr. Reed said that all the creditors desired was a cash
account for the last six months. She owed about £l5O,
and it was considered that she could set aside a portion of
her earnings. She had paid off all her creditors under the
insolvency.

The bankrupt said she could make out an account of
what she had received from her engagements, but they
were vary precarious, and her expenses were heavy in car-
riage hire, &c., in going from place to place.
The case was adjourned for the account to be furnished.

CRIMINAL COURT--THIS DAY.

OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice Byles.)
THE ALLEGED WHOLESALE POISONINGS.
The trial of Catherine Wilson was resumed this morn-
ing.

Professor Alfred Swain Taylor, of Guy's Hospital, was
examined—He went into a very minute description of the
effects of virulent poisons, and said, having heard all the
acts, he could not attribute the death of Mrs. Soames to
natural causes.

Dr. Nunnoly, of Leeds, was of the same opinion as Dr•
Taylor.

Mr. Oppenheim then addressed the jury for the prisoner
The two points they had to decide were these. Did Mrs:
Soames die of poison, and was that poison administered by
the prisoner ? It was perfectly clear that no poison had
been found in the body of the deceased, neither had the
prosecution produced evidence to ahow that the prisoner
had any poison in her possessicn previous to the death o
the lady, and those circumstances tended to render the task
they had to perform difficult in the extreme.

The learned gentleman was proceding with the address
when we went to press.

NEW COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice Keating.)
A young man named Steele, a pot boy, was charged with
attempting to commit a rape on a child 12 years of age.
The prosecution was conducted by the Associate Insti-
tution for the Protection of Women.
The jury found the prisoner guilty of the minor offence,
and the learned judge sentenced the prisoner to 18 months'
imprisonment.

THIRD CONIT.
(Before the Recorder.)
Pierre Le Rois, a French acrobat, Alfred Towers, son
of the lessee of the Victoria Theatre, William Charles
Allen, and Agnes Elizabeth Towers, wife of Frank Towers,
comedian and proprietor of the Victoria Tavern adjoining
the theatre, were indicted for misdemeanour in rescuing
the person of Frank Towers from the custody of Henry
Horriok, a sheriff's officer of the county of Surrey, and in
a second count they were charged with assaulting and ob-
structing the prosecutor and his assistant from recapturing
Mr. Frank Towers, who had contrived to make his escape
from the bar parlour windows of the above-mentioned pub-
lic-house.

It appeared that on Saturday, the 13th, the prosecutor
went to the Victoria Tavern, about four o'clock, for the
purpose of serving Mr. Frank Towers with two writs,
which had been issued against him for about £3OO, the
judge's order having been obtained on the ground that he
was about to leave the country. When the officer told
Towers what his business was he threw himself into a chair
in a very excited state. His wife began to scream, and a
scene of confusion ensued, in which Towers escaped, and
the prisoners prevented the officers leaving the place in
pursuit of him until it was too late to recapture him.
The jury returned a verdict of not guilty.

POLICE-THIS DAY.

MANSION HOUSE.

THE ENwamous FORGERIES OF LEASES.—This after-
noon Luther Yeates, lato of Tokenhouse-yard, was placed
at the bar, on remand, charged with forging a number of
leases purporting to be executed by the late Admiral Sir
John West.

Witnesses were examined to prove the signatures to the
fictitious leaves were forgeries.

Mr. Lewis said he now asked his lordship to commit the
prisoner for trial,: although they had only proceeded
against the prisoner for forging the eight leases before his
lordship, yet, from what had come to his knowledge, he
believed the prisoner had raised upwards of £lO,OOO by his
forgeries.

The Lord Mayor having given the prisoner the usual
caution, asked him what he had :to say in answer to the
charge ?

Prisoner—l've nothing to say, your lordship.
He was then fully committed to Newgate for trial.

WESTMINSTER.

BREAKING A JUDGE'S WINDOWS.—Sarah Scott, of 4,
White Hart-court, Windmill-street, described as a servant
was charged with wilfully breaking windows at the house'
of Mr, T. E. P. Lefroy, deputy judge of the Bloomsbury
County Court.

Mr. Lefroy, who was accommodated with a seat upon
the magistrates' bench, detailed the particulars of the case.
A suit had been heard before him yesterday at the Blooms.
bury County Court, on which the present defendant, then
plaintiff, sued her late mistress for wages alleged to be due.
Upon the hearing of the case he decided that the plaintiff
had already received more money than she was entitled to,
and directed a verdict for the defendant. The present de-
fendant, when she heard the decision, became so noisy that
he was obliged to have her expelled. On the rising of the
Court he went home to his residence in Eccleston-place.
During the evening some one came to the door, and Mr.
Lefroy was informed that a woman wanted to see him.
He inquired what for, when he was informed
that it was respecting a decision arrived at at the
county court. He sent word that any application
on the subject of business must be made at the court and
not at his residence. She then became very noisy, when he
spoke to her and induced her to go away. In about ten
minutes afterwards he heard the smashing of glass, and the
defendant was pointed out to him as the person who had
hurled a stone through it.

Defendant said she had not had justice done her, and
certainly went to the house to say that she had laid out her
last penny for the hearing of the case, and was merely talk-
ing about her wrongs when she was charged with breaking
the window. A boy broke it to whom she told her etory.
A witness was called who clearly proved that the mis-
chief had been done by the defendant, who afterwards ran
away.

Mr. Paynter animadverted in becoming language on de-
fendant's gross misconduct, and ordered her to pay the
amount of damage and 10s. fine.

She was committed for 14 days.

ANOTHER MIINCHAUSEN.—A romancing traveller
was talking of a church he had seen in Spain a mile and a
half long. "Bless me I" said Garrick; "how broad was
it P" " About ten yards," was the reply. " This is, you'll
observe, gentlemen," said Garrick to the company, "not a
round lie, but differs from his other stories, which are gene-
rally as broad as they are long."
THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER.—In ad-
dition to his acceptance of the invitation to visit Newcastle-
on-Tyne and Middlesborough in the second week of Octo-
ber, it is stated that the Chancellor of the Exchequer will
also accept the hospitalities of Sunderland. The demon-
stration at Newcastle-on-Tyne is likely to be very success.
ful. The tickets for the great dinner to be given to the
right hon. gentleman in the Town-hall on the 7th October
are nearly all sold, and it is anticipated that when the time
approaches the accommodation will hardly be sufficient for
all the applicants. On the Sth October Mr. Gladstone will
accompany the River Tyne Commissioners, the Corpora-
tions of Newcastle, Gateshead, Tynemouth, and South
Shields, and the Chambers of Commerce of Newcastle and
Gateshead, Tynemouth, and South Shields, and other
public bodies, on a trip to the mouth of the Tyne. Addresses
will be presented by the corporate bodies of the harbour-
towns when the civic procession reaches the new piers in
the estuary of the Tyne ; and if the day is fine the demon-
stration promises to be one of the most effective that has
been witnessed on the waters of the noble river for many
years.

Six pieces of bronze cannon, no longer fit for ser-
vice, were brought from Vincennes yesterday and laid in
the court of the Palais Royal. It is said they are to be
melted down for a statue of the Emperor Napoleon Lf pro-
bably that which is to be erected in Corsica.

THE HON. A. T. GALT AT THE MAN-
CHESTER CHAMBER OF COZMERCE.

MANCHESTER, TRURSDA Y.
A special meeting of the Manchester Chamber of Com-
merce was la,. Id this day, for the purpose of hearing the
Hon. Mr. Galt, the late Finance Minister of CanAa, upon
the trade and resources of Canada as affected by the present
tariff.

The Mayor occupied the chair.

Mr. GALT, who was most cordially received, entered into
an elaborate explanation of his late fiscal policy, and showed
that the duties fixed by the Legislature of Canada had been
imposed not for the purposes of protection, but for the sake
of obtaining a revenue, which was applied to the promotion
of public works, with the view to the opening up and deve-
lopment of the country, and in the payment of interest on
the debts of the province incurred by the construction of
these works. The late Ministry was, however, endeavour-
ing to reduce the tariff when they resigned owing to their
defeat on the Militia Bill—a step which had given rise to the
greatest misapprehension on the part of England as touch-
ing Canada's loyalty. The cost of Canada to England was
very small, and the experiment of self-government should
be allowed to work out its legitimate results. Then if a sepa-
ration were desired by either the mother country or by her
colonies, or both, such separation might be effected with
mutual goodwill,

Mr. Galt's speech made a great impression upon the
Chamber, owing to its earnest eloquence.
Mr. ASHWORTH and Mr. MAsox complained of Canada
maintaining high duties upon British manufactured goods,
and said that if this policy were maintained it would be bet-
ter that there should be a separation between England and
her British North American possessions.
Mr. FERGUS4ON observed that Messrs. Ashworth and
Mason spoke only their own sentiments, and not the
opinion of the Chamber.

Mr. Ross complained of the high duties levied by Canada
on British manufactured articles, but said that Manchester
did not complain of that so much as of the fact that whilst
this high tariff was maintained on the other side against
England, the mother country allowed the Canadians to
send in their corn, &c., free.

Mr. GALT replied, and the proceedings, which lasted up,
wards of two hours, terminated with the usual compliment
to the Chairman.

7IIE SUSPECTED 111U_RDER IN 711 E CITY,

Samuel Gardener and Elizabeth Humbler were placed:at
the bar before the Lord Mayor, at the Mansion-house, yes-
terday, on suspicion of having murdered Elizabeth Gar-
diner, by cutting her throat, in his house, No. 1, Nor-
thumberland-alley, Fenchurch•street, on the 15th inst.
Both prisoners appeared to treat the charge with the
greatest indifference.

The first witness examined was Mary Spencer, who said
that on the morning of the 15th the prisoner Gardener
came to her at her lodgings in Back Northumberland-
alley, and told her to come to his house. She did so, and
there she saw the body of the deceased lying en the floor
with a gap in the throat. The female prisoner was crying
and saying what a shocking thing it was, and what a
wicked man Gardener must be to accuse her of having
done it. She, by Gardener's direction, went for the police.
Witness said some time ago she knew that Gardener and
his wife quarrelled in consequence of his familiarities with
Humbler.

Mr. Cowley, surgeon, described the injuries, and said he
was decidedly of opinion that the wound the deceased
woman had on the throat could not have been inflicted by
her own hand.

The Lord Mayor—What sort of an instrument would
have inflicted the wound ?

Witness—The knife that has been shown to me. [The
weapon was here produced. It was a small white-handled
carving-knife, and exceedingly sharp towards the point.]
The Lord Mayor (to the prisoner Gardiner)—Do you
wish to ask the witness any questions ?
Gardiner—No, nothing.

Mobbs, the City police-sergeant, said—The knife pro-
duced was handed to him when he entered the room. Dr.
Sequeira said the prisoner Gardiner had just taken it from
the deceased's right hand. The female prisoner said, "You
wretch, you are the cause of this." Gardiner said, " What
You have done this." Humbler clasped her hands,
and exclaimed, " Oh, my God I" The male prisoner
said he suspected her because he had had intercourse with
her, and she was aware that through a dispute she had to
leave the service of Mrs. Gardiner. Both persons were
given into custody after the inquest was adjourned yester-
day. On the road to the station Gardiner said two or three
times, " I am glad I have been given into custody. I hope
now something will come out."
Both prisoners were remanded.
