sforward so prominentlythat I think it necessary to allude
to something that cannot deceive. I allude to letters
which the young lady has most properly, and with a great
deal of good feeling, handed over to the guardians and
to me, and which can be verified. It appears that Lady
Ferrers, although she has not written since June to
the young lady, or promoted any intercourse with the
young lady and herself, nevertheless thought it consis-
tent with her duty to write to her brother, Mr. Chi-
chester, encouraging him in what she must have
known to be his intentions and object. Among the
letters which the young lady gave up from Mr.
Chichester are two from Lady Ferrers to him (Mr. Chi-
chester), and one in which there is this expression. Now,
imagine, here is a lady in Lady Ferrers' position, a
peeress, a wife, and a mother of daughters, who writes
to her brother thus :—" I only wish she was my little
sister (speaking of the ward of the Court) ; and, no mat-
ter how you marry her, so long as it is properly per-
formed. I will only be too glad to reeeive her with
open arms, as I feel I could love her so much." . .
. . "If dear Cara would leave them, and go with
you to be married, I need not repeat that she will always
find me ready to receive her." Now, one cannot but
have a very strong suspicion, when one sees these letters
from Lady Ferrets to her brother, and finds that these
letters came from the brother to the hands of the young
lady—l say that one cannot, after all that has passed,
but have a strong suspicion that Lady Ferrers wrote it
in order that it might be shown to the young lady that
she would be well received by the relations of her suitor.
There is another letter much to the same effect, dated
later in September. I cannot, therefore, but think that
Lady Ferrets must have been cognizant of what was
going on and what was intended, and that she meant to
encourage it. At the same time, Ido not think that it
is a necessary conclusion, and I do not feel myself
bound to act upon that. Lady Ferrers, I think, if she
has any feeling, will be sufficiently punished by the pub-
licity which this proceeding necessarily gives to her con-
duct, and I do not, therefore, feel myself called upon to
visit her with the penalty of the disgrace of being com-
mitted to prison. Now, with regard to. Mr. Chichester.
At the same time that he put these letters into the
young lady's hand, he wrote or sent her other letters,
and in those letters I find these passages (one is a whole
letter, the other two are fragments of letters) : —" Clara,
is it just towards me this treatment ? Am Ito go
about, afraid of seeing any one here, skulking about ?
There is a great deal of difference between"—l will not
mention the name; he mentions a gentleman who is well
known in society to have eloped two years ago with a
lady of rank—" There is a great difference between"
that gentleman "and G. A. 11. C."—that is, George
Augustus Hamilton Chichester. "He married my
cousin, and we were all very much annoyed." What
do I infer from that ? Why, that he had proposed to
the young lady to run away from the house of her guar-
dian, but that she had remonstrated, and had pointed
out how ill that lady stood in society, and that he en-
deavours to get over scruples by pointing out—there is
a great difference between that person—who was not
quite an equal in rank—and " G. A. H. C.," that is to
say, the ills that have attended that lady in her after
life, from having run away, will not attend you, because
lam of high and noble family, and he was not. That
is the inference which I-cannot but deduce from it.
Then there is another fragment of a letter in which this
occurs, " To-morrow night what you ought to do, dear
est Clara, is to say or write ready' when you are—that
will be now or to-morrow night, whichever you like—so,
dearest Clara, be mine." Who can doubt, when he was
coming in the middle of the night with two or three men
attending him, that the object was (I should say by vio-
lence, if resisted, but certainly in some way or other),
to run off with the young lady / Then there is a letter
in which this passage occurs—" Do you think, Clara,
that I for one moment would wish you to leave your
guardians, if I was not certain, if I had not had the first
legal opinions on the matter, that everything could be
done legally and for ever binding ? Do you suppose
sly family would"—then there is something torn. "The
law is, that if a ward in Court marries against the
Chancellor's consent, and that she is over 18 years of age,
her husband can be imprisoned till she comes of age for
contempt of Court, provided they catch him within the
jurisdiction of the Court, which extends to Great Bri-
tain." Now, this gentleman's property, or his connec-
tions, at least, are in Ireland. Whether he thought he
should escape by going to Ireland I do not know, but
one cannot fail, seeing that he meant to say the jurisdice
lion of the Court extended only to Great Britain, if it
catch the person. "Now, this is the law ; and never
mind what others have told you to frighten you—this is
the law. Besides, there are plenty of instances ; and
they have never imprisoned the husband beyond six or
seven months, and that only in the case of an improper
marriage, such as is a ward running away with a tutor
or servant, &c. In our case it would be quite different ;
in fact, the world and the Lord Chancellor would wonder
what we ran away for. lam merely telling you now
what two of the first Chancery men have told me, they
laughed at me and said—' Why, a man in your position,
if you did do such a thing—l should do it,"'--then it is
torn. Now, I have adverted to that in order to show—
it is almost holding, one might say, a taper up to the
light of day, for it is so clear that it hardly wants such
illustrations ; but the result is absolutely conc;usive that
Mr. Chichester having described himself on one occasion
as being over head and cars in debt, and having stated
over and over again that he was in great pecuniary em-
ba,rassment, that he got involved by being surety for a
friend, but that lie was in debt, and was living here in Lon-
don on the proceeds, it seems, of a place connected with
the administration of justice in Ireland—l ain sorry that
such a thing should be possible, but so it seems to be ; lie
is living on the salary attached to a clerkship of the
peace iu Ireland—and he seems to have supposed
that the result might be, that he might induce
this young lady so far to forget her duty as to run
off with him. lam very happy to say that that has not
been the case. 'Lit ex.remely painful to drag the name
of a ward of the-Court before the public ; but it is a hap-
piness for me to be able to say to-day that, having had
several private interviews with her, quite away from her
guardians—for I have been with her for half an hour
at a time, and on one occasion nearly an hour, so as to
put her quite at her ease—l am quite convinced that,
when Mr. Chichester says she consented to his applica-
tion for leave to make proposals, he says that which
nothing which she ever said warranted. She did not
consent, and I believe she never had the least wish to
consent. She has sworn contrary to what Mr. Chiches-
ter states, and, from my conversations with her, I im-
plicitly believe what she says. She has now put every
scrap of paper into the hands of her guardians. That
she acted imprudently no one can deny ; but she was
led on to it by others who ought to have known better.
I allude particularly to Lady Ferrers and Mr. Chiches-
ter. I trust that, as far as she is concerned, that be-
, tween her and her guardian the matter will be eventu-
ally overlooked. Now, although Ido not see my way
quite clear to the conclusion that Lady Ferrers intended,
or was instrumental in encouraging the young lady to
elope, yet that Mr. Chichester was is beyond all possible
controversy or doubt ; and I feel it, therefore, to be my
duty, in pursuance of the notice of motion, now to make
an order (prefacing the order with reading the affidavits,
and a statement that I am satisfied on those affidavits
that Mr. Chichester did endeavour to induce the plain-
tiff, Clara Thornhill, to contract a marriage with him,
without the sanction of the Court, and that ho did endea-
vour clandestinely to remove her from the custody of
her guardian), that for that contempt of the Court he
be committed to the Queen's Prison. The tipstaff will
now immediately take Mr. Chichester into custody. I
shall also make an order that he pay the costs of this
motion, and that his own petition, that he be allowed to
make proposals, be dismissed with costs. The tipstaff
will now take him into custody, and the order will be
drawn up in the course of the morning.
Mr. Gaily—This is a motion against Lady Ferrers
and Mr. Chichester.
The Lord Chancellor—l make no order with respect
to Lady Ferrers, except that I give her no costs.
Mr. Baily—But then there will be no division of costs.
Mr. Chichester will pay the costs of the guardians.
The Lord Chancellor—Mr. Chichester will pay the
oosts of the motion. I will make no special order. He
will pay the costs of the motion, and his own petition is
dismissed with costs, and he is committed to the Queen's
Prison.

This case has been on several occasions before his
lordship in his private room, but this morning the fol-
lowing judgment was deliver©d by the Lord Chancellor
in open court :
The Lord Chancellor said—l do not think that lam
Warranted in disposing of a case of this sort in private.
The doors may be open, and anybody may come in that
takes an interest in it. The question comes before me
wia motion and a petition. The motion is, that George
Augustus Hamilton Chichester and Augusta Arabella
Countess of Ferrers do stand committed to the Queen's
Prison for contempt of the High Court of Chancery,
in
endeavouring to induce the plaintiff to contract a
e mar-
riagehis with Mr. Chichester without the sanction of the
Court, and, as far as relates to Mr. Chichester, in
having clandestinely attempted to remove her from the
custody of her guardian. Then, there is a petition from
Me- Cbichester in the nature of a cross application, in
which he prays that the injunction may be dissolved,
arid a reference to inquire whether any proposed mar-
riage between the petitioner and the plaintiff is a proper
marriage, and that he may be at liberty to make pro-
posals for a settlement on that marriage. The circum-
stances of the case are of a most distressing nature, and
circumstances which I should have been well pleased if
I could have been spared the pain and anxiety of consi-
dering. I have endeavoured to sift them to the bottom,
not only by hearing what was to be said by the parties
in court, but on three or four occasions, I think, I have
had personal interviews with the guardians, and with the
young lady herself, separately from the guardians, whoa'
I induced to talk to me in a perfectly confidential man-
ner. Now, the result which I have arrived at is, that
beyond all possible doubt the charge on which the mo-
tion was made to commit iMr. Chichester is established
—that he did endeavour in the first instance to persuade
the young lady to form an attachment for him ;
and secondly, that he did endeavour, in a most unjus-
tifiable manner, to induce her to elope with him, in order
to avoid the objections which he was well aware must
be raised to such a connexion, both on the part of the
guardians and on the part of the court. These are
matters which it is extremely painful and distressing,
and not for the interest of any of the parties to go into
much in detail, and I shall endeavour to avoid doing so
to the utmost extent in my power ; but, for a reason
that will be apparent, I do not think that I am justi-
fied in simply making an order without giving some rea-
sons for it. In the first place, I may say Ido not think
I, am called upon to make any order to commit Lady
Ferrers. That is a conclusion, however, at which I
have arrived with very great doubt and anxiety. lam
not at all confident that .I am quite dischargh gmy duty.
The circumstances, as far as Lady Ferrers is concerned,
are these—Mr. and Mrs. Hungerford (Mrs. Hungerford
being the guardian of the ward of the court, a young
lady of 18 years of age, with a very large fortune) paid
a visit to Lord and Lady Ferrers in the last week of
May last year, and Mr. Chichester was on a visit there
at that time. There is a controversy on the affidavits
as to whether Mr. Chichester did pay anything like
marked attention to the young lady during that visit,
which was the first time he had ever seen her. Mrs.
Hungerford positively declared that she saw nothing
whatever to lead her to suppose that any sort of inter-
course whatever had passed between them more than the
exchange of common civilities. That is her statement.
Mr. Chichester and Lady Ferrers, on the contrary, say
that which either expresses or implies, that there were
marked attextions on tho part of Mr. Chichester towards
the young lady. The guardian, Mrs. Hungerford, says
that just in the evening before their departure—they
stayed there a week or eight days—her term is, that
Mr. Chichester, in a joking winner, alluding to his own
great pecuniary embarrassments, and the difficulty he
might have in obtaining the sanction of the Court, said
to her that he thought he should be a suitor for the
young lady's hand, and that she turned it off, supposing
it to be a mere joke, nothing had been said to lead her
to suppose that he had anything of the sort in his mind.
He, on the contrary, says that he understood from what
passed that he would have the deliberate sanction of
Mrs. Hungerford, or that there would be no opposition
on her part. They quitted the next morning, and Mrs.
Hungerford says, not only was there no marked atten-
tion on the part of Mr. Chichester, but that he studiously
abstained from handing the lady to her carriage, when
they went away. I now come to what concerns
Lady Ferrers. Shortly after they got home the young
lady desired to make a little present of a purse to Lady
Ferrers. That was very natural, and letters passed.
Those letters were seen by the guardian ; there was no-
thing whatever improper in them—nothing that a mar-
ried lady, a peeress of the high rank of Lady Ferrers,
might not write to a young lady who was the ward of a
neighbour in the country. All seemed to be quite right.
About a fortnight afterwards (not quite a fortnight after-
wards), Mr. and Mrs. Hungerford, with the young lady,
were going on a visit to somewhere near Ascot, for they
were going to be at the Ascot races ; and on the morn-
ing after their arrival there, Mrs. Hungerford discovered,
what astonished her, some fragments of a letter, which
turned out, or which was suspected at that time, I
believe, to be from Lady Ferrero, and bad crossbars
in a different ink, of a different writing, and being a dif-
ferent matter that was written. It turned out to be
written with lemon juice, which, it seems, when held to
the fire, comes out in the form of a pale red writing ; and
Mrs. Hungerford discovered what led her to believe
that, whoever was writing these letters was writing an
apparently open correspondence in black ink, and a con-
cealed correspondence in this different ink, or lemon juice.
Not to hold out any longer the mystery, it turned out
afterwards that there was a letter from Lady Ferrers,
which in the black ink writing had been shown, but
which contained the clandestine writing in the lemon
juice, the clandestine writing being mor: or less an en-
couragement on the part of Lady Ferrers to the young
lady to give countenance to the suit of Mr. Chichester,
Lady Ferrer's brother. Exactly what it was we do not
know, but that that was the substance of it is manifest.
Lady Ferrers had desired that she might be at liberty to
send to the young lady a little basket in return for the
purse. The was very natural, and Mrs. Hungerford
did not object to that ' • but she said it would be better
that it should come through her, and that she would
present it in Lady Ferrers' name. She did so, and that
seemed all right ; but, to the disgrace of Lady Ferrers--
and I cannot attempt to qualify the expression, for it was
most disgraceful, and it must for ever lower her in the
society 4f her equals—in that basket was concealed in
the lining a letter written, not on paper, which would
have made a crackling noise and have excited attention,
but written on linen—a secret encouragement to the
ward, against the consent, or without the consent of her
guardian, to give countenance to the suit of her brother
whom she admits, and whom all admit, to be a man in
deep embarrassment. Now, if anything can be con-
sidered more degrading to the character of a lady than
that, lamat a loss to conceive it. Having said this
much, it may be asked am I not flinching in the dis-
charge of my duty if I abstain from committing Lady
Ferrers ? Well, I think lam not, and for this reason.
The contempt of Court, on which I am to act, is an
attempt to induce the young lady to elope with Mr.
Chichester without the consent of the guardians or of
this court. Now, although Lady Ferrers, in this clan-
destine and discreditable manner encouraged the inter-
course between the young lady and her embarrassed
brother, with a view no doubt to warp her feelings, I
cannot see anything that leads me necessarily to the
conclusion that she meant that this should be done with-
. out first endeavouring, at all events, to obtain the sanc-
tion of the Court ; and there does seem to be a little
countenance to what is suggested, that at that time it
was meant to obtain, if possible, the consent of the Court
and the guardian to the celebration of the marriage ;
because, very soon afterwards, Mrs. Hungerford, having
discovered what she thought was the whole, but which
turned out not to be the whole, of these letters, imme-
diately wrote to Lady Ferrers and to Mr. Chichester,
saying that she had discovered this to her astonishment,
nothing having passed except that ridiculous conversa-
tion the evening before they went away, in which there
was the suggestion of Mr. Chichester that he might be
a suitor ; that nothing else but this having passed,
she was astonished at discovering the extent
to which this had gone, and immediately forbade
all intercourse, and said the thing was impossible.
Lady Ferrers on that made a promise that she would
not write any more, and I think it is not conclusive that
she has done anything since except what I shall pre-
sently advert to, but which does not bring me to the
conclusion that she meant to encourage the young lady
to elope. That is the way the matter stood with Mr.
Chichester. I need not state what passed in the early
transaction, because what afterwards happened with him
can admit of no possible doubt as to what was passing
between the parties. Mr. Chichester, being thus re-
j,.cted on the part of the guardian as an unfit suitor for
the young lady, was forbidden to visit her at all ; but
the course he took was this--Mr. and Mrs. Hungerford
and the young lady lived at Dingley-park, in Northamp-
tonshire, which I collect is only a mile or two from the
town of Market Harborough. It seems that some time
passed by the name of George Ramsden, with a third

ATTEMPTED BURGLARY.
George Mat hews, 27, cigar maker, and Patrick Mullins,
22, tailor, were indicted for attempting to commit a
burglary on the premises of Mr. Marks, linendraper, 104,
Tottenham-court-road, and with beating and assaulting
a police eonstable, named Chown.
Mr. Horry prosecuted.
John Chown, 137 E, was on duty in Little Howland-
street, about half-past one on the morning of the 30th
of October, when he saw Mullins on the wall adjoining
Mr. Marks' premises, and Mathews ou a coacii-house
close by. He called out, " Who's there ?" when they
jumped down and made a desperate attack upon him,
one of them being armed with a life-preserver. The
struggle was a severe one, and lasted nearly a quarter
of an hour. They got away at last, but were followed
down a mews, when they were captured by three con-
stables who arrived at the spot. Burglars' implements
were found upon them, and' an attempt had been made
to enter Mr. Marks' premises.
Mr. Laurence addressed the jury for the prisoners,
urging that their identity was not ihdispu.tably proved.
The jury found them guilty.
It was mentioned to the court that the prisoners were
port of a gang of expert burglars and thieves infesting
the neighbourhood of Holborn-hill. It was suspected
that Mullins was a ticket-of-leave convict, and the court,
therefore, remanded them for inquiry to be made.
(Before Mr. Witham:)
Nathaniel Batley Warren 26, attorney's clerk, was
indicted for having feloniously embezzled 51., which he
had received for and on account of William Stafford, his
master.

Mr. A'llecCat'said, from the evidence he had heard,
M'Enuff's wife was equally culpable, and he should order
her to be taken into custody, and committed with the
others.

The prosecutor Cane said he had no wish to press the
charge against her, neither did he against the others.
Mr. A'Beckett told - him that it was one of the most
diabolical assaults he had lately heard of. lie certainly
could not deal with such a case, but he must commit
them all for trill for cutting and wounding. He, how-
ever, considered that from the nature of ;he wounds in-
flicted on the person of Cane, the surgeon who attended
him ought to be examined ; therefore he should remand
them until Thursday for his attendance.

LAMBETH. Philip M'Donncll and Valentine
Fletcher were finally examined on a charge of attempting
to break into the residence of the Rev. John Lin,gharn,
rector of St. Mary's, Lambeth.
Mr. Elliott committed both prisoners for trial.
About seven or eight months ago the rectory, then
in the occupation of the Rev. Mr. Dalton, the late
rector of Lambeth, was broken into, aid a quantity of
plate carried away.

THAMES.—Christian Wilson, a foreigner, 26, was
charged with stealing a silk pocket handkerchief from
the person of Captain Richard Dusting, the master
of the schooner Commodore, lying in the London Dock.
The prosecutor stated that he was about to enter the
London Dock at the principal entrance, when he sud-
denly missed his silk handkerephiaesfsifnrogmhihmis
on his
saw ,
puttinthgethperissiolknehr;ndwkheorchwieafsinto his pocket. He seized
the prisoner, and took the handkerchief from him.
The prisoner denied stealing the handkerchief. That
which the captain claimed he had, he said, borrowed
from Miss Johnson, his landlady, that morning, as he
was in a hurry to go to the dock to see after a ship in
which he was about to proceed to Australia.
From the testimony of other witnesses there was no
doubt but that defendant's statement was true. It ap-
peared that the landlady, who had not seen the handker-
chief after it was taken from the prisoner, described it
most accurately, and said she had lent it to defendant.
Mr. Ingham said he had no hesitation in discharging
the prisoner.
oner.
Captain Dusting and Miss Johnson both claimed the
handkerchief, but Mr. Ingham said the captain must be
mistaken, and ordered it to be given to the latter, adding
that complainant's pocket must have been picked before
he got to the dock.

The prosecutor was a solicitor, residing at Camber-
well, and the prisoner was his clerk ; and, as such, had
occasional charge of the office, which was at 16, Wel-
lington-street, Straud. The plaintiff in some county
court proceedings, " Tuckey v. Smith," was prosecutor's
client, and it was arranged that the defendant should pay
the debt and costs by instalments to Mr. Stafford. One
of the instalments, 5/. was duly paid at the office to
the prisoner, but he did not account for it ; and when
asked if it had been paid, he said Mr. Smith had called
and had stated he would pay it in a day or two. That
time having expired, Mr. Stafford wrote to Mr. Smith,
who at once repaired to the office and produced the pri-
soner's receipt for the amount. Prisoner begged that
Mr. Stafford would not prosecute him, and promised to
make tie amount good, but the prosecutor gave him
into custody. He had 601. a year salary, with re-
sidence.

The jury found him guilty.
Mr. Witham sentenced him to six months' hard
labour.

Henry Jones, 51, brushmaker, was indicted for steal-
ing two brass bell handles, the property of William
Pemberton ;two bell handles, the property of Lady Emily
Pakenham ; and one ditto, the property of George
Jones. He pleaded guilty.
On the evening of Friday, the 27th of last month, the
prisoner and a woman were observed by Space, an officer
in plain clothes, walking about in Blooinsbury-place.
He saw the prisoner go up to the door of a house, and
try to wrench off a bell knob, but he did not succeed.
He made attempts at two other houses to do the same
thing, and at No. 8, Southampton-street, he succeeded
in wrenching off two brass bell handles. Eventually
the officer took him into custody, and on the woman,
who was the.prisoner's wife, was found a bag centaining
no less than 21. bell knobs, and on the prisoner was
found a large pair of pincers. Some of the knobs had
been taken from No. 8, Park-square West ; 43, Hert-
ford-street, Mayfair ; and No. 8, Southampton-street,
and were the property of the respective prosecutors men-
tioned in the indictments.
Mr. Witham sentenced him to six months' hard
labour.
