PRUSSIA.
On the 11th the Committees of the Chamber hav-
ing examined and confirmed a sufficient number of
returns of the Deputies, constituted a full House,
and proceeded to the election of the President
and Vice-President. The choice fell on Count
von Schwerin, the Ministerial candidate, who
was elected by a majority of ninety-two over M.
Simson, late a Deputy of the Frankfort Assembly ;
he was the head of the deputation that brought to
Berlin the offer of the German Crown to the King of
Prussia. In the election of Vice-Presidents M.
Simson was chosen with N. Lensing.

AUSTRIA.
VIENNA, AEG. 9.—The Wiener Zeitung of this
day contains the following telegraphic dispatch from
the Minister Von Bruck to Prince Schwarzenberg :
" Peace was signed this day. You will receive the
treaty by courier.
The object of Prince of Schwarzenberg's journey
to Warsaw is to obtain from the Czar a reinforcement
of the Russian army of intervention in Hungary.
The negotiations which took place on this point in
writing remained without any result, and it is even
stated that the Emperor of Russia refused to increase
the number of troops which he had already sent into
Hungary. The assertion that the Prime Minister is
decided in case of need to apply to Prussia for an
auxiliary corps is certainly founded on error.
The 14th bulletin of the Russian army has just been
published. It appears from it that the Russian
General Grabbe was at Lasanoz on the 21st, in pur-
suit of Georgey. He there encountered the rear
guard of the Magyars, who were at that moment re-
tiring. On the 24th rabbe was at Beja, near Gonnor,
where he lost all traces of the enemy. The
forces of Georgey, to the number of 30,000 men, and
a great number of cannon, had taken up a strong
position on the heights of Miskley on the 25th, on
the left bank of the Saja ; General Czedegiff at the
head of the 4th Corps attacked the Hungarians ;
but Georgey quitted his position on the 25th and took
the direction of Tokay. General Czedegiff then
received orders to give up the pursuit. This is the
termination of the eleventh bulletin.

SYMPATHY with the HUNGARIAN S
A most numerous and highly respectable meeting
took place last Thursday, in the Town•hall, King
street, Manchester, the Mayor presiding, at which
resolutions sere passed unanimously expressive u
the sympntl;y of the meeting with the great struggle
now maki,g by the Hungarian people, under their
leader, Kossuth, for their independence. The Rev.
Dr. Vaughan, in moving one of the resolutions, read
the following prayer, offered up by Kossuth on his
knees :
" Lord! God of the warriors of Arpad! Lock clown
upon thy servant from thy throne of stars—look dem.
upon thy servant, for the prayer of millions ascends to
heaven from his lips, magnifying the mysterious power
of thy omnipotence. My God! thy sun is radiant ahoy(
me, and beneath me are the bones of my heroic brethren
that are fallen in battle: the heavens are blue above me,
and the earth beneath my feet is red with the holy
blood of the sons of our ancestors. Send, 0 God! the
genial rays of thy sun, that flowers may spring from
this holy blood, that the bodies of my brethren may not
perish in lifeless corruption! God of my ancestors! Goo
of the nations! open thy ear to the voice of our warriors,
for in it thunders the arm and the spirit of a brave
i people, bent upon crushing the iron arm of tyranny. A,
a free man I kneel on the fresh graves of my brethren.
Sacrifices like these sanctify thy earth; they purge it
from sin! My God! a people of slaves must not live or,
f this sacred soil, nor step on these graves! My
Father! Great Father of my father! Mightiest of the
mighty! Almighty, thou the God of heaven, of earth
a and of the sea! Lo! a nimbus of light rising from these
bodies irradiates the front of my people! God, in th)
mercy, bless their dust! Let the ashes of our heroes
rest in sanctity! Do not abandon us, great God of
battles; but magnify thy power over us! Amon."

SOUTHAMPTON, TUESDAY MORNING.—By a steamer
just arrived we have received from Havre an account o
the visit of the President of the Republic to that city or
Sunday. Prince Louis Napoleon, accompanied by Gem
Changarnier, M. Odillon Barret, and others, was received
lat the railway station by the Mayor of Granville. As
I carriages for the President's suite had not been prc-
-Ailed, General Changarnier followed in a ono-horse cab
and M. Odilon Barrett mounted on a gendarme's horse.
At Ingouvilie the National Guards were drawn up in
battle array, and as the cortege passed through numerotus
cries of " Vivo la Republique" were heard. At Granville
some acclamations of a rather ultra-democratic tendency

look place. On reaching Havre the President was re
ceived by the Mayor ad interim, M. Bertin, under salutes
from the artillery from tthe ramparts. The troops and
National Guards were rapidly passed in review, amidst
cries of " Vive le Pt esident 1" " Vive la Republique !"
and "Vive Napolisan." This ceremonial took place
in the Theatre-square, in which a beautiful estrade
I had been erected. The President then attended the
regatta and was saluted by the squadron in tht
roads. In consequence of a slight indisposition
after visiting the municipality the President was
prevented from giving the usual official receptions, and
could not attend the banquet which was offered to him
by the town. He presented himself, however, after
dinner, and was received with great applause. A grand
ball was given in the evening, which Louis Napoleon
attended for a short time. The President and suite left
by special train on Monday morning. The Presideet's
visit, the regatta, and the festivities attracted an im-
mense concourse of people to Havre.
HAVRE COTTON MARKET.—The Havre Cotton
Market yesterday displayed some activity, in consequence
of the presence of several of the manufacturing pur-
chasers. Upwards of 3,000 bales were sold at a rise of
one franc. Tho sales would have been more extensive
but that sellers were disinclined to dispose of their
stocks, waiting anxiously for further advices from Liver-
pool aed the United States.
SAVAGE AND VICIOUS ATTACK BY A HORSE.—
Yesterday (Thursday) afternoon, a boy named Charles
Guy, in the employ of Mr. Cref ke, sutler, Pelham
street, having been up the Mansfield-road with a letter,
and having, to go on to Park- row, was in the act of cross-
ing the field called Calar's Close along a beaten path
made during the time when land was subject to common
right, when he was run after and attacked in a most
savage manner by a horie that was turned out to graze
in the field. The boy endeavoured to escape by flight,
but was unable to do so, and the ferocious brute overtook
him, knocked him down, bit him in two or three places
on the back, and picked him up and carried him in his
mouth with as much ease as a dog would deal with a rat.
Fortunately being near some much frequented thorough-
fares, several persons hastened to the spot, and succeeded
in rescuing the boy from his perilous position. No bones
were broken, but nearly the whole surface of the youth's
back is covered with severe contusions and deep lacera-
tions.—Nottingham Journal.
SOUTHWARK AND LAMBETH FUND FOR CHURCHES
AND SCHooLs.—The Earl of Harrowby, the Earl of
Effingham, Lord Robert Grosvenor, M.P., Lord Ashley,
M.P., Sir F. Lawley, Bart., the Bishop of Winchester,
the Bishop of Oxford, the Archdeacon of Surrey, Alder-
man Hnmphery, M.P., and ether noblemen and gentle-
men, have determined upon making a renewed appeal on
behalf of the fund which was opened in the month of
June, 1845, for the purpose of endeavouring to supply
the spiritual and educational deficiencies of a most ex-
tensive and important district. Since the committee
commenced their labours five new ecclesiastical districts
have been legally constituted and two others conven-
' tionally assigned. Four new churches have been
erected, and schools have been built in connexion with
the churches of St. Mary, Southwark; St. Michael,
Stockwell; Camden Church, Camberwell; St. George
the Martyr, Southwark; St. Paul's, Bermondsey; and
St. Peter's, Southwark. The next object to which the
committee propose to direct their attention is the
erection of a large church and schools in the Westmin-
ster-road, on a site which has been obtained in the im-
mediate vicinity of the New Roman Catholic cathedral.
The church will be dedicated to St. Thomas, and the
officiating minister will be the Rev. J. W. Weeks, M.A.,
formerly Principal of the Church Missionary College, in
Sierra Leone. A new church, dedicated to All Saints,
will also be erected in Lambeth. With respect to two
other churches on the list, namely, one in the parish of
Christ Church, Blackfriars, and St. Mark's, Horslydown,
the committee have for some time past been negotiating
with the trustees of the late Mr. Marshall's estate, who
are patrons of the living, to take up a grant, and build
the church on terms which have been proposed to them;
and in the other instance ground has not been found
available for the erection of a church within the district.
The committee state that to provide church accommoda-
tion for ono-third of the population of these parishes, a
deficiency of nearly 68,000 sittings will still remain, and
to provide the school-room considered necessary under
the Parliamentary estimate, accommodation for upwards
of 25,000 children will be required, even when the com-
mittee shall have done all that they can now promise
themselves to accomplish. Upwards of 30,0001. have
already been granted for the purposes for which the
fund was established.
WESTPORT, AUG. 11.—The Jane, of Roel-ester, at
tfti s port from Tripoli, listed over from the Quay while
discharging, strained
her cargo (Indian core), about 100 tons of which are still
on board.

they met the prisoner, who asked the prose-
cutor whether he had a distress warrant against
bim ; and being informed that he had, he said that
no man should take his goods. The prisoner then
went into his house, followed by the prosecutor ;
shortly after the prisoner came out of his house •with
a poker in his hand, swearing and saying that the
first who came near to take his goods he'd kill him.
The prosecutor then sent for assistance, and mean-
while the prisoner attacked the prosecutor, and struck
him violently over the head and body, so as to render
him insensible, and in a dangerous state for several
days.
The prisoner, in his defence, said, that he was not
indebted to Mary Greenwood for rent, and that
knowing that he resisted the prosecutor, and struck
the blows as alleged.
His LORDSHIP summed up.
Verdict—Guilty of cutting, with intent to do
grievous bodily harm.
Sentence—Fifteen months' imprisonment.
NISI PRIUS COURT—(Befure Mr. Justice
WIG HTMAN).
There was no case of any interest in the court
to-day.

OXFORD ClRGUlT.—Gtoucestershire, Aug. 11.
The crown business for the city commence:i at
half-past eight this morning, and was brought to a
close at twelve.

There were in the calendar but six prisoners, of
whom three were charged with housebreaking, one
with forgery, one with larceny from tee person, and
one with simple larceny. There were two other
prisoners brought in since the calendar was printed,
charged with stealing lead, and a third, who was
acquitted yesterday, in the county, on a change of
obtaining goods under false pretences, on account of
the insufficiency of the indictment, and the-grand jury
being discharged, was transferred to the city juris-
diction, on a charge of larceny.
Air. Baron Rolfe sat at half-past eight, and tried all
those charged with larceny, and rose at ten o'clock..
Mr. Justice Erie sat at nine, and did not rise till
twelve. None of the cases were of the slightest
general interest.
Thus terminated the business of the circuit. Per-
haps it is right to say that the present is the only
assize known on this circuit for many years in
which the Judges themselves had time'to do all the
business in each town without invoking the aid of
Sergeants or Queen's Counsel to try prisoners, or of
the former to open the commissions, or in which
all the civil cases en:red were really tried with-
out the parties being forced to a compromise, or a
reference, or having their cases made remanets. It
has very commonly happened on former occasions
that in addition to the Learned Judge sitting in the
Crown Court, trying prisoners, there has been a
Learned Sergeant assisting in the same duty in the
grand jury room, a Queen's Counsel in the office of
the Clerk of Indictments, and another in some un-
named apartment below stairs ; and notwithstanding
all this extra aid several of the civil cases have been
made remanets, and at the last moment a Learned
Sergeant has been dispatched post haste to open the
commission at the next assize town.

NORTH WALES ClRCUlT.—Chester, Aug. 10.
CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron PLATT.)
Joseph Swialells, a quiet looking young man, was
charge with having, on the 3-1 of May last, at New-
ton, in this county, feloniously cut and stabbed one
Thomas Burdekin, with intent to do him some
grievous bodily harm.
Mr. Trafford conducted the prosecution, and Mr.
M'lntyre defended the prisoner.
Thomas Burdekin proved that on the day above
named he was at the door of Martin Swindells'
house. He saw the prisoner, Martin Swindells, and
William Crompton, iu their workshop. They called
out, " Where is thy dog? We'll have a dog-fight."
Crompton afterwards said, "What about this child ?"
—an illegitimate child. " Martin says it's either
Brown's or thine." I said, "It is Martin's." Martin
tried to strike me with a piece of iron, but I warded
off the blow. The prisoner said, "I)--n thee, we'll
make thee so as a pound of salve will not cure thee."
The prisoner came out at the door, laid hold of me,
and stabbed me at the bottom of the belly. I felt I
was wounded, and I bled. But I did not wish to
hurt them, because I have been rough in scuffles and
broils myself. I asked them to have it (the wound)
sown up. I did not wish to make any complaint of
it. Afterwards I went to Mr. Beechcroft, the sur-
geon, to have the wound examined and looked to.
On cross-examination the witness admitted that he
had been fifteen times in prison, but only for the
offence of taking hares ; and that he had drunk some-
thing less than a quart of beer that day.
Samuel Beechcroft, surgeon, proved that Burdekin
came to his surgery on the 3d of May last, to have a
wound examined and dressed. He had an incised
wound over the pubis, one inch in length, and a third
of an inch deep. It reached to the bone. Was a recent
wound, and might have been made with such an in-
strument as a table knife. The shirt, trousers, and
lining were cut through over the wound.
Mr. M'INTYRE addressed the jury for the pri-
soner, contending that as the prisoner had in his hand
an iron instrument used in his work, as the scuffle
was sudden and unpremeditated, he might, in en•
deavouring to defend himself, unintentionally with
that instrument have inflicted the injury upon the

The Learned JUDGE summed up, dwelling upon
the fact deposed to, namely, the threat of the prisoner
that he would make him so that a pound of salve
would not cure him.
The jury consulted, and almost immediately re-
turned a verdict of Not guilty.
William Thompson, aged 82, paper-ruler, and John
Morgan, 17, stationer, were indicted for having in
their possession, at Tranmere, Birkenhead, in this
county, a forged die, intended to resemble a certain
die used under the directions of the Commissioners
of Inland Revenue, for the purpose of expressing a
certain stamp-duty ; also a quantity of paper having
the impression of a certain counterfeit die. The
indictment was under the Stamp Act, 55 Geo. 111.,
0. 154.
Mr. Welsby and Mr. Jervis were for the prosecu-
tion, and Mr. M'lntyre for the defence.

It was proved that some time before the prisoners
were apprehended a stamped document had been sent
to the Stamp-cfrice, in London, and a claim made

upon it for the allowance in cases of stamps which
had been spoiled. This stamp was found to be a
forgery. It had been purchased at the shop of Mr.
Maudsley, a respectable stamp seller, at Liverpool.
At the instance of the Stamp-office authorities, a
search was made at Mr. Maudsley's establishment,
and more forged stamps were found. There was not,
however, the slightest ground for impeaching Mr.
Maudsley. Suspicion attached to the prisoner
Morgan, an out-door apprentice in Mr. Alaudsley's
employ. In consequence of this the house of his
father-in-law, Thompson, the other prisoner, with
whom the former lodged, was searched, and in his
bedroom was found, in a secret closet, an engraver's
cushion, the top of a mahogany chest, a sand bag,
a quantity of engraver's tools, and an electrotyping
battery in operation, thirty seamen's advance notes,
printed by Maudsley, not stamped, and 25 forged
Bs. 61. stamps; a die, not quite finished, fur a ss.
stamp, and a copying machine were also discovered.
In the bedroom of Morgan was found a box or die for
a Is. stamp completed. It was objected to the in-
dictment that it was bad, inasmuch as, in describing
the offence, it did not follow the words of the statute,
including the schedule, but the Learned Judge over-
ruled it, remarking that there was no necessity to go
into the minute details of the schedule. As laid in
the indictment the charge against the prisoner, in
one count, was for counterfeiting a ss. stamp die ;
but as that die was in this case incomplete, it was
ruled that the count must be abandoned, and the
charge limited to the offence of counterfeiting the
stamp die bearing value Is.
Mr. M'INTTRE addressed the jury in defence, and
contended that there was no evidence to fix Morgan
with the making or causing to be made either of the
stamp dies ; and, as regards the prisoner Thompson,
there was nothing to show that the die for the one-
shilling stamps had ever beeen in his actual posses-
sion, or had been used at his direction.
The Learned JUDGE having summed up, the jury
returned against both prisoners a verdict of Guilty,
upon which Thompson was sentenced to fifteen
years' transportation, and Morgan to one year's
imprisonment.

August 11.
CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron PLATT.)
William Edward Ferguson, surgeon, stood ar-
raigned on an indictment charging him with wilful
and corrupt perjury in having sworn, in an answer
which he made to a bill in Chancery, imputing to
him, amongst other things, adultery with the wife, of
one Joseph Dendy Sainter, that he had never on sny
occasion whatever conducted himself with impropriety
towards her, and had never committed adultery with
her, whereas in truth and in fact he had frequently
committed adultery with her.
Mr. Welsby and Mr. Bevan appeared for the pro-
secution, and Mr. Townsend and Mr. Egerton con-
ducted the case for the prisoner.
Mr. WELsryr opened the case for the prosecution.
It appeared that the prisoner had been engaged as an
assistant to Mr. Sainter, wbo is a surgeon at Maccles-
field, and was admitted as a resident in his house.
Some months after this Mr. Sainter discovered that
the prisoner had not only endeavoured to prejudice
him with his patients, and to supplant him in the
office of surgeon of a club, but had inflicted the
greatest of all injuries possible upon Mr. Sainter, by
seducing and debauching his wife. He had admitted
to a sheriff's officer who arrested him, in a civil action
at the suit of Saircer, that he had over and ovi r
committed with Mrs. Sainter the act of adultery.
A clerk from the Court of Chancery produced the
bill and answer from that Court, M the case "Sainter

v. Ferguson." It was in this answer that the alleged
perjury was committed.
Brocklehurst, a commissioner for taking the an-
swer of the prisoner, proved his swearing to the
answer, and his subscription to the answer.
Mr. Wilkinson, a solicitor, proved having gone to
the defendant and said to him, " I have come from
Mrs. Sainter, who within this half hour has confessed
all to me, and she has desired me to ask you imme-
diately to leave the town." He told the prisoner that
after what occurred it was not proper that he and
Mrs. Sainter should be in the same town. The prisoner

replied, " Sainter has treated me in an ungentlemanly
manner, and I ern of so revengeful a nature, that I
never forgive ; I will therefore injure Sainter as much
as I can." The prisoner had supplanted Sainter as
surgeon to a sick club. An action for criminal con-
versation was brought by Sainter, which was tried

here last spring.
Joseph Cookson—l am a gardener at Macclesfield.
I remember, about the middle of last August, seeing
Mrs. Sainter coming across the fields from Prestbury-
lane. The prisoner was with her. It was half-past
eight in the evening. They turned out of the road
to the left, towards the plantation. I followed them
to the side of the plantation ; by that time they were
in the plantation. The prisoner had his arm round
Mrs. Sainter's waist. They were twenty yards from
me. When they got to the turn in the plantation they
sat down. I got close behind them. It was not so
dark but that I could see what was going on. [The
witness here spoke unequivocally to the act of adul-
tery.] I followed, and threatened if the prisoner did
not tell me who he was I would expose him in the
street. We have care of that land. The prisoner
collared me, and told me to go about my business. I
followed them. He threatened to give me in charge
to a policeman. He afterwards collared me, and put
1 me in charge of Wood, a watchman, whom he told to
keep me till he sent a policeman. Wood allowed me
to go. _ _ ___ . ... .

Cross-examined—rlay on the grass within a yard
of them. They were on the ground three-quarters of
an hour. I asked the prisoner for money, or I would
expose him. He offered me a shilling, and I refused
it. I never followed Mr. Gee and charged him with
improper conduct, in the same plantation, before Mr.
Woodward's watchman. I well know Mr. Gee, but
never saw him with a lady in my life. Gee never
gave in charge nor beat me.
To the JUDGE—I saw them in the plantation, and
it is my duty to keep cut trespassers. I did not in-
terrupt them, because I thought the situation inte•
resting.
Mary Cookson—l am the mother of the last wit-
ness. I have known Mrs. Sainter many years. In
the autumn of last year I saw her corning up the drive.
It was about the middle of August. A gentleman
was with her, it was not Mr. Sainter. They turned
on the left, leading to the Brookside plantation. It
might be a little after eight o'clock. My husband,
the last witness, and another son were with me. I
showed my son (the last witness) the lady and gentle-
man. He went directly after them.
A witness names Copes corroborated Joseph Cook-
son's statement as to a conversation with the latter

about the prisoner and Mrs. Sainter.
George Sidebottom—l am an artist, living in
Macclesfield. I was on terms of intimate acquaint-
ance with the Sainters. Within a month after the
prisoner became an inmate of Sainter's I observed
attentions paid by him to Mrs. Sainter which I
thought improper. I have heard him say to her that
he could make her a better husband than Sainter,
who was too old for her. On a Sunday, in the month
of April, 1848, I saw Mrs. Sainter enter the surgery
yard. She asked the prisoner if he was ready to go
to church. He made no reply, but attempted to em-
brace her. The witness spoke to other suspicious
and improper conduct between the parties. He pro-
ceeded—On Wednesday or Thursday, in the third
week in June, about three rat., I saw Mrs. Sainter
leave the house. She went to Prestbury-road and
from thence down Boughey-lane. Adjoining the
lane there is a small plantation, into which a gap
leads from the lane.. The prisoner approached her
from behind a hedge. She went into the plantation.
The prisoner looked up and down the lane, and then
followed through the gap. They could not see me for I
lay down behind a tree. (The witness here detailed
facts unfit for publication, which showed that a crimi-
nal intimacy took place between the prisoner and
Mrs. Sainter.) After this he resumed—Mrs. Sainter
repassed the gap, and went home alone. I remained
behind for some time to see whether Ferguson would
follow her. He did not, so I walked after, overtook,
and spoke to her. I told Mr. Sainter part of what I
had seen on the 23d of August last.
Isaac Lucas—l am a sheriff's officer. I arrested
the prisoner on the 21st of April, and brought him to
Chester. At Chalford we had some talk about the
action against him' for criminal conversation tried at
the last assizes. Ferguson then said that the evidence
given at that trial by Sidebottom was false, and that
he had never had connexion with Mrs. Sainter out
doors in his life. He said to me, "Do you think I
was such a fool as to expose myself when there were
plenty of opportunities in the house, as Mr. Sainter
retired to bed early (about ten o'clock), leaving his
wife up, and I never closed the surgery till eleven
o'clock, and sometimes I stayed up till one o'clock."
A paper written in pencil by the prisoner, and ad-
dressed to Mrs. Sainter, was put in. It contained the
following passage:—" Would to God that I could be •
Here all you say was true. I thought you confessed
all. I denied everything to Wilkinson. As to what
any one else can say, it will not affect us." Some
lines of verse addressed by the prisoner to Mrs. Sainter
were also produced.
Mr. TOWNSEND addressed the Court for the de-
fence, submitting that there was no evidence to go to
the jury in this case. He also objected—firstly, that
it ought to have been alleged on the face of the in•
dictment that the oath was taken in the course of a
judicial proceeding ; and secondly, it ought to have
shown that the prisoner's denial of the supposed adul-
tery was material to the question before the Court of
Chancery. This was not shown. In order to enable
Sainter to obtain an injunction restraining the pri-
soner from practising as a surgeon in Macclesfield, it
was not material to allege that the latter had miscon-
ducted himself with Mrs. Sainter, and therefore if the
prisoner made a false answer to that part of the bill
in Chancery making that charge against him, he was
not liable for perjury.
Mr. WELSBY submitted that the above objections
ought to have been taken before plea pleaded.
Mr. TOWNSEND resumed—The Court of Chancery
has no jurisdiction over crimes. He further objected
that the indictment was not sufficiently specific as to
allegations of time and place.
The Learned JUDGE reserved these points for fu-
ture consideration if it should be necessary.
Upon this Mr. TOWNSEND addressed the jury with
an ingenious speech, attributing as the motive of this
prosecution professional rivalry between the parties—
the prisoner being successful, and Sainter falling back
in business. He commented severely upon the wit-
nesses Cookson and Sidebottom, and upon Mr. Wil-
kinson in not putting the prisoner on his guard when
he called upon and questioned him respecting this
affair with Mrs. Sainter. He remarked upon the
discrepancies in the evidence, and upon the circum-
stances that none of the inmates of Sainter's house,
who if there had been familiarities or improprieties
between the prisoner and Mrs. Sainter could best have
spoken to the fact, had been called. He concluded by
stating that he should call witnesses of character and
credit, who would contradict the evidence for the pro-
secution.

Joseph Clarke contradicted the witness Sidebottom
as to the existence of a gap in the edge (as stated by
him) at the time in question. He added that, consi-
dering Sidebottona's position, he did not think the
latter could have seen Mrs. Sainter coming down the
lane.

John Norbury confirmed the last witness as to their
being no gap in the hedge, as had been stated in June,
1848.

John Sutton, called to contradict Cookson, con-
firmed him as to his statement regarding a demand
he had made of money from the prisoner, but contra.
dicted him as to the amount asked for, and in some
minor matters. This witness admitted he had been
convicted of stealing hay.
Isaac Gee, tea-dealer, of Macclesfied—l was walk-
ing with a lady, one evening in August, 1847,
through the grounds at Westbrook. A man came
up to me ; to the best of my knowledge and belief
Cookson was that man. He demanded money,
threatening that if I refused he would make a charge
against me. I refused to give money. The lady and
myself separated, and I turned upon the party who
were following me. They ran away, but I caught
one of them, whom I believe was Cookson, and
brought him to Charnock.
On cross-examination this witness said it was
nearly dusk, and he could not be sure about the man,
for he had never seen him before.
William Charnock—l am a watchman at Wood-
ward's factory, and know Cookson. Mr. Gee collared
him and brought him to me in August, 1847. No
one was ever brought to me by the collar except on
that occasion. Mr. Ferguson never delivered Cook-
son into my custody.
This closed the case for the defence.
Mr. WELSBY replied in a very temperate speech, in
which he said he concurred most fully with the
Learned Counsel for the defence, in the remarks that
gentleman had made upon the conduct of Cookson
and Sidebottom, who had sworn that they watched
the parties; such conduct he looked upon with de-
testation. If the jury had any doubt whatever of the
prisoner's guilt, for God's sake, in so serious a charge,
let them give the prisoner the full benefit of that
doubt.

CHELMSFORD, AUG. 10.—A very great dullness prevailed
throughout the day's business, and where sales were effected in
wheat an abatement of from 3s to 4s per quarter was neces-
sarily submitted to. The highest price for new white wheat
of average quality, and in good condition, was 525, and several
samples changed hands on those terms. New peas mat
a reduction of 2s per quarter on last week's quota..
tions, with a very slack sale. Old oats were full as dear.
