in which Mr. WIGRAM replied, and
The LORD CHANCELLOR postponed giving judgment.

KAY V. MARSHALL.

The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment in this ap-

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, June 18.

Unopposed petitions and short causes occupied his
Honour the VICE-CHANCELLOR the greater part of the
day.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

OLD COURT.

Richard Popham, John M,Phane, and William Donoghue,
were indicted for feloniously assaulting George Watmore, a
police constable, with intent to kill and murder him.

In other counts the intent was said to be to maim and dis-
able the prosecutor, or to do him some grievous bodily harm.
Mr. CLARSON conducted the prosecution •' and Mr. CHAR-
Nocic defended the prisoner M'Phane, Mr. HORRY appeared
for Donoghue, and Mr. HAYNE for Popham.
It appeared that the prosecutor was on duty in Hooper-
street, Lambeth. between eleven and twelve o'clock on the
night of the 17th May, when he received information that
a person had been robbed of a watch in a beer-shop
called the Farm House ; he • was proceeding towards
the house, and when he was about ten yards from it
the prisoner Popham came out of a brothel on the opposite side
of 'the street, and said to him, " You -, you shall never
reach the house," and at the same moment struck him a vio-
lent blow in the face with his fist. Popham was then about
to go towards the beer-shop; when he endeavoured to prevent
him ; and he then knocked his hat off with a " life preserver,"
which he took out of his breast pocket. Popham almost imme-
diately hit him on the temple with the same instrument, and
inflicted a severe wound. He then laid bold of the prisoner,
who struck a second blow ; and the policeman seized the life-
preserver, and a struggle ensued, during which M'Phane
came up, and, as the policeman believed, struck him with
another life-preserver on the cheek, which was cut open, and
he was felled to the ground; still, however, retaining hold of
the prisoner Popham. While he was upon the ground,
M'Phane struck him a violent blow on the arm, which com-
pelled him to loose his prisoner, and M'Phane then struck him
again on the head, and Donoghue came up and kicked him
while he was lying on the ground. The man who first as-
saulted him then got away, and the policeman, as he sup-
posed, lay about five minutes on the ground, when another
constable, named Jones, came to his assistance, and they went
together to the beer-shop, where they found Donoghue, and
took him into custody. The constables then went to the
lodgings of the prisoner M'Phane, and just as they ar-
rived, they saw a light in one of the rooms, which was
almost immediately extinguished. Upon their going into his
bed-room M'Phane said, " I knew I should be nailed' for
this, but I shall only be fined, and if it should be 51. or even
101., I shall pay it." The prisoner Popham left the neighbour-
hood, and he was not found until a fortnight afterwards, when
he was discovered in the Compter, and he was removed from
thence to take his trial, by habeas. It appeared that the pro-
secutor received very severe injury, and was confines' to his
bed for several days.
The Learned Counsel examined the prosecutor at consider-
able length, with a view to show that he was mistaken in the
identity of the prisoners, but he persisted in his original state.
ment.

Several witnesses were called in corroboration of the pro-
secutor's story, and Mr.Wagstaffe, a surgeon, residing in Lam-
beth, described the nature of the injuries he had received, and
said that they were of a very severe and dangerous character,
and that they were calculated to have produced concussion of
the brain and death.

Mr. PAYNE addressed the Jury, and submitted to them that
the offence only amounted to an assault.
Mr. HORRY was about to address the Jury for Donaghue,
when

Lord Chief Justice TINDAL intimated that he did not
consider the evidence against him was strong enough to call
upon him for any defence.
Mr. 13HARNOCK then addressed the Jury, and called a num-
ber of witnesses with a view to prove an alibi on the part of
M'Phane, but the evidence was not at all satisfactory.
Mr. CLARKSON replied,
The (,WHIFF JUSTICE summed up, and the Jury returned a
verdict of Guilty upon the third count, against Popham and
M'Phane, and acquitted Donoghue.
Items then proved that the prisoner M'Phane had been
befdre convicted of an aggravated assault upon a police-con-
stable, and sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment, and
that I;e_.,d also been committed for two months for attempting
to pick- kets.
The prisoners were sentenced to be transported for fifteen
years. s s

The prisorters as they were leaving the bar protested their
innocence, and M'Phane said that if he had time allowed him
he could have produced twenty people to prove that he was
not present when the policeman was assaulted.
Charles Young, 29, was indicted for uttering a forged check
for the sum of 51. with intent to defraud David Rogers.
It appeared from the evidence that on the 21st January the
prisoner went to the house of the prosecutor, and presented a
letter purporting to be written by Mr. Charles, a tradesman re-
siding in Fleet street, enclosing a cheque upon the London
and Westminster Bank for 5/., and requesting that change
should be sent for it immediately. Mrs. Rogers, who received
the letter, suspected something was wrong, and she sent the
money by a little girl with instructions to inquire of Mr.
Charles whether the transaction was a correct one, but just
as she got near Mr. Charles' house, the prisoner met the girl
and said his name was Charles, and that she was to give him
the money, and she did so. The cheque afterwards turned out
to be a forgery.
The prisoner was found guilty.
It was stated that there were other indictments for similar
offences against the prisoner, and it appeared that he had
been carrying on an extensive system of fraud by means of
forged deeds, and the judgment of the Court was respited in
order that he might be enabled to make some communications
upon the subject of these frauds, which it was understood he
was anxious to do.

John Smith, aged 39, was indicted for feloniously uttering
a forged order for the payment of 211., with intent to defraud
Lawrence Palk, and his intent was also laid to be to defraud
Messrs. Cox and Greenwood.

Mr. Boman conducted the prosecution, and Mr. BALLAN.
TINE defended the prisoner.
The prisoner went to the bank of Messrs. Cox and Green-
wood, and presented a cheque for 211., purporting to be drawn
by Mr. Palk. The clerk had some suspicion of the genuine-
ness of the document, and he asked the prisoner where he got
it from, and he said it was given to him by a servant, and he
at the same time produced one of Mr. Palk's cards, and said
that gentleman was going out of town the next morning, and
he wanted the money. The prisoner was given into custody,
and he then said that he had obtained the cheque from a per-
son who was then waiting for him at a public-house, and who
had given him a shilling, and who was to give him another
upon his returning, and he wished the policeman to go with him
and test the truth of the story, but he refused to do so. The
prisoner, it appeared, had formerly been in the service of
L. Palk, the father of the prosecutor. He received a good
character from a number of witnesses.

The Jury returned a verdict of guilty, coupled with a strong
recommendation to mercy.

Mr. sin.stieeiiGi;;;a:x ordered the prisoner to be trans-
ported for fifteen years.
The RECORDER sat in this Court after the Judges retired,
but no case of any importance was disposed of.
The Grand Jury were discharged in the course of the day,
and the business of the session is expected to terminate early
on Monday.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

WORSHIP-STREET.

A middle-aged and respectable-looking married woman,
named Hadday, appeared before Mr. Bingham, upon a war-
rant, in which she was charged with having horsewhipped
police constable White, 83 of the H division.
The policeman stated, that on Tuesday last he received or-
ders from Mr. Pierre, his Superintendent, to take up a position
within view of the residence of the defendant's husband, in or-
der to prevent any property from being secretly removed from
it. Whilst he was on the watch, the defendant left the house,
and get into a chaise-cart that was standing at the door; im-
mediately after which her husband brought out a basket, and
placed it in the chaise. Witness advanced towards him, and
asked what the basket contained ; but he refused to furnish
the information, and desired the defendant to drive away.
Witness took hold of the horse's head, to prevent her from
doing so ; upon which the defendant commenced lashing him
as hard as she could with a whip, and continued the infliction
for some minutes. He persevered, however, in his determina-
tion to search the basket, and having at length succeeded in
doing so, he allowed the defendant to drive away.
In answer to a question from the MAGISTRATE, the witness
said that he bast no written warrant to authorise the search,
but that he had acted under the orders of the Superintendent.
Mr. Hunt, who attended on behalf of the defendant, com-
plained of the unlawful and unjustifiable conduct that had been
pursued by the police. The defendant's husband, he alleged,
was a substantial tradesman, whose character had never been
impeached. He had lived thirteen years in the same house,
and employed at least forty workmen.
Sergeant Teakle said that Mr. Hunt had been misinformed
with regard to the term of his client's residence in the neigh-
bourhood and the number of men he employed.
Mr. BINGHAM said, that in his opinion no respectable per-
son would have hesitated to comply with the request of the
officer; yet as the latter, in searching the cart, had acted with-
out the proper legal authority required in such cases, he should
dismiss the complaint.
Sergeant Teakle made a communication to the Magistrate
explanatory of the grounds upon which the Snperintendent
had proceeded, hut which it would be improper at present to
disclose.

A HINT FROM THE CITY.—The Tories, who,
before the appearance of Lord John Russell in the field,
boasted that they would be able to carry their four can-
didates for the City of London, are now desirous to
effect a compromise. Their canvassers say that they
have no objection to so old a representative and locally
useful a Member as Alderman Wood, and that they find
the feeling runs so strong in favour of Lord John Rus-
sell, that it is useless to oppose him ; but they canvass
the Liberal electors for their other two votes, begging
for at least a share in the representation. Another
damper to the hopes of the monopolists is found in the
fact, that although Alderman Pirie has allowed his name
to be used as a candidate, he has openly .declared that
he will take no trouble about the matter, not even so
much as to solicit the vote of a single elector.
CULTIVATED LAND.—Estimated quantity
of land in cultivation in the colony of New South Wales,
exclusive of gardens and orchards, on 31st December,
1839—Wheat, 48,401 acres ; maize, 22,026 acres ; bar-
ley, 3,490 acres ; oats, 6,793 ; rye, 483 ; millet, 46 ;
potatoes, 1,115 ; tobacco, 424 ; sown grasses, 12,534
acres. The produce of the land, as above stated, is—
Wheat, 805,140 bushels ; maize, 525,507 bushels ; bar-
ley, 66,033 bushels ; oats, 27,788 bushels ; rye, 7,008
bushels ; millet, 283 bushels ; potatoes, 2,601 tons,
6 cwt. ; tobacco, 125 tons 10 cwt. ; sown grasses (hay),
25,923 tons.

The Tory Earl of Roden has been in the receipt
of 2,7001. per annum for the last forty-one years, for
holding the sinecure office of " late Auditor of the Irish
Exchequer." He has thus pocketed 110,700/. of the pub-
lic money, for doing—nothing 1
