THE QUEEN V. THE BAPTIST 3IISSIONARY SOCIETY.
This $Na an appeal from au order of Quarter Sessions,
at the instance of the Baptist Missionary Society, re-
specting the rating of their house in Moorgate-street.
It was an appeal against the payment of sewer and
other 'rates, for which the Quarter Sessions had held
it liable, on the ground that it was a charitable institu-
tion, and ought, in conformity with the Act of Parlia-
ment relating to such institutions, to be free from any
such imposts.
The COURT this morning affirmed the decision of the
court below. The institution did not come within the
category of those excepted from the payment of rates.
Decision affirmed.

BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
Dennis Healy, charged with assisting in the escape of
Hickey, who stabbed the recruit M‘Macarthy, in Ox-
ford-street, on Thursday, was again brought up before
Mr. Jardine.

A man named Daniel Cleary, who saw the whole of
the fight, and took WCarthy away, and another Irish-
man, who was potman in the public-house where the
row commenced, were examined as to their previous
statements to the police-constable respecting the pri-
soner's having changed his clothes with Hickey; but
they both denied all knowledge of the change, and fur-
ther swore that they did not know of any acquaintance
between Hickey and the prisoner.
The MAGISTRATE was surprised that of so many wit-
nesses who knew the facts he could not find one to ten
the truth in so serious a case; but they should not
obtain their end, and he would detain the prisoner in
custody.

Policeman E 99, who took Healy into custody, swore
that he saw him go info a public-house in New Oxford-
street, followed by a great crowd of people. He went
into the house in two or three minutes, and seeing the
prisoner in a changed dress, surrounded by a mob of
people, he took him to the ti tation.h,ius e, upon the sus
picion that something unusual was the matter. On the
way he I,,arnek4 that Hickey had stabbed a man, and that
Healy gave him his clothes to facilitate his escape. None
of those who said so came forward.

A sergeant msjor of the 13tngal Artillery in which
M•Carthy was enlisted, stated that he was still in a
dungen:us slate. _ _

Ttie iopector of pace hoped to establish the charge
if further time were given, and also to find Hickey.—The
prisoner was again remanded.
