POST.-OFFICE LONDON DIithCIORY for
1847 —MARCH EDlTlON.—Corrected in the Parliamentary
and Postal divisions to the latest period. To how recent a date th
a teration, have been brought down may be judged from the fact that
he changes cons quent on the demiss of the la- e Duke f Northum-
berland have been introduced in their proper order in the Parliamen-
tary division of the work.
MORNING CHRONICLE, Nov 20, 1846.
The powers of expansion exhibited by this most useful annual
volume appear real y unlimited. Publiehe 1 during a series of forty-
eSght years, in a metropolis whose dwellings increase in number by
a yearly average of some fourteen thousand, and whose commerce
expands in st,ll larger measure, the " Post-office Directory" has be-
come enormously enhanced in bu k, as also in the complicated
variety of its indispensable contents The admirable success with
which the really enormous difficulties of his task have been overcome
by the indefatigable publisher has been proved by the experience
of neatly years ; and we need say little more titan that the present
volume presents the same tokens as its predecessors, of Intel igent
method and ingenuity of arrangement in packing into reasonable
compass, and producing in lucid order its millions of facts and
reference. Within two thousand pages every man may learn
everything he ought to know about every one of his co-dwellers in
the great metropolis, their businesses, as well as everything neces•
sary to facilitate him in his own. The very rapid extension of our
railway system, and the new postal arrangements with some conti-
nental states, have rendered necessary some extensive Additions to
the sections appropriated to Conveyance and the Post-office. We
find the information given under those heads net only as full and ac-
curate as it was well possible to make them, but more new and re-
cent than we should have thought attainable in a work of such mag-
nitude. Prelxed to the volume is about the best Map of London we
happen to have met with.
TIMES, Nov. 18, 1846.
The forty-eighth annual publication of this work--the volume for
1847—is now issued. It is a wonderfully different affair from the
old Directory, which used to consist of little or nothing more than
the alphabetical list of tradesmen ; it comprises now, and has for
some years, a " Street Directory," a " Trades' Directory." a " Court
Directory," a " Postal Directory," a " Conveyance Directory," with
a host of other little digests. The volume appears to have been very
carefully revised, and supplies the latest information. Of course,
the postal treaty with Prussia has not been overlooked ; and in minor
points the work seems to' bear the test of search into matters in
which changes have been very recent.
MORNING POSI', Nov. 19, 1846.
The forty-eighth annual publication of this admirable work has
mist been issued. Any dissertation on the usefulness of this volume,
after its well-proven service in almost every counting-house in the
metropolis for so many years past, must he quite unnecessary. Suf-
fice it to say, the present edition possesses all the merit of its prede-
cessors, while the alterations and corrections in the various depart-
ments have been tarried down to the latest period.
MORNING HERALD, Nov. 21, 1546,
Bulky as the proportions of this indispensable work have hitherto
been, the volume for 1847 comes forth under circumstances of still
nether eniargemenS. The experience of 47 years has obviously
enabled the proprietor, Mr. Frederick Kelly, to produce a Directory
of unrivalled completeness, wherein every species of fact likely to be
wanted by the merchant and trader is placed within convenient
access The volume contains upwards of 2,000 closely-printed royal
octavo pages, betokening a singular amount of industry as a matter
of compilation, and awakening astonishment at the comprehensive-
ness of the machinery which could bring within a common focus.
so much varied and scattered intelligence—embracing, as it does, a
multiplicity of heads, and involving the services of a vast number
of contributors. We believe that the present volume is not to be
matched in the whole world, for such a mammoth aggregate of local
and sp:L'fie information is no less a typographical wonder than a
orodig;oas monoment of diligence and enterprise. Some dozen or so
of separate Directory are included in this huge periodical—the only
one, it seems, of the annual tribe destined to a permanent existence
a veritable triumph, indeed, of the utilitarian principle over the
ornamental. The " Official Directory" is a key to the whole of the
Government offices, and a record of official personages. This is fol-
lowed by a " Stieet Directory," exhibiting the tradesmen in every
thoroughfare, and the points at which the streets are intersected by
those at right angles; while the "Commercial and Professional
Directory" is an alphabetical arrangement of the above. Then comes
a " Trades' Directors'," in which the names are allocated under their
respective callings. The " Law Directory" is a list of judges,
Queen's counsel, sergeants, barristers, attorneys, &c., with a cata-
logue of the various Courts of Law, their officers, and their peculiari-
ties of jurisdiction. The "Court Directory" comprises the addresses
of the nobility and gentry ; and the " Parliamentary Directory" is
a record of the Members of the House of Lords and Commons, with
an alphabetical list of the boroughs, cities, and counties returning
Members to Parliament, the surnames and eldest sons of peers, &c.
The " Postal Directory" contains the hour of receipt and delivery o
every Post-office in the kingdom ; the cities and principal places
throughout the world to which mails are dispatched from London ; the
rates of foreign postage ; the railway mails and the cross-road mails,
&c. The " City Directory" registers the civic authorities. the public
companies, the brokers, the incumbents and ministers of the
churches and chapels, the newspapers, &e. ; and the " onveyance
Directory" includes the railway tables, the coach and booking offices,
the wharfs, &c. The volume closes with Banking and Assurance
Directories. These various heads will serve to indicate the mutt'.
tudinous nature of the conten ts, for out of tees come a varieey o
subordinate directories, which meet every eivable want, pre-
f
senting a curious analysis of the public and private institutions of
the metropolis and of the commercial world. Every
ste person is to to be
found under his proper section, from a prime mini dowa
sheriff's officer--every establishment, front a palace to a lodging-
house. The editor, in his preface, takes occasion to congratulaie
himself on the many improvements he has this year introduced,

be an essential to every counting-house in the kingdom, as well as to
eness of its use;ul every place of business fa and about the metropolis. It is an invalu-
able work of its kind ; and the extent and
minut
under the immediate
tails are truly wonderful. Being prepared " mediate and
pedal patronage of her Majesty's Postmaster-General," the amplest
'and coropletest means were, of course, at the command of the pro-
prietor, Mr. Kelly, to secure the entire accuracy of the volumino Is
and crowded contents of the bulky work. The present is the forty-
eighth annual publication. Few commercial and Lading men can
now require particular description of the refill. imposter and Useful
Information, to almost every party in any sort of busirece, oecunying
the two thousand closely but clearly printed octavo pets o: this Di-
rectory. Preceded by an admirable and persgienous Map of Lo teon,
prepared expressly, it is declared, for the work, by Mr. B. R. D. v'es,
there are divisions comprising, among other information, "Official,"
"Street," "Commercial, "Trades," " Law," 'Court,„ " Parlia-
mentary," " Postal,' " City," " Conveyance," " Banking," and many
other Directories.
The hope is expressed in the preface that this forty-eighth annual
edition of the " Post-office London Directory" may be found "in all
respects to equal the beet of its predecessors." From vesy consider
able examination of the marvellously full and varied contents and
Information en matters which it must be so difficult, labore us, and
expensive to collect, we hesitate not to say, that this unassuming
wish is liberally realised. It not only equals the best of its piede-
eessors, but in several particulars it surpasses nil its predecessors.
The information is not only fuller in many respects, but there are
several important alterations and addition., largely addling to the
usefulness of the book. It is Intimated, and truly, that although all
competition has disappeared, the present volume is conspicuous proof
that there has been no relaxation in the multifarious labours to per-
fect the extraordinary work. In sneaking of past success, it is
observed that it has been, " even in a pecuniary point of view, bene-
ficial to the public, is proved by the fact that important improve-
ments and additions are %smuttily made veithout coy increase
price "—a result that, it is declared, " could not have bees the
case, had the public patronage been divided." With refeeerce
to the price, we certainly must acknowledge that it is wonderful
how it can be profitable to provide such varied eiateeials
—and materials constantly changing and requtrin ; so much
and such ceaseless labour and cost to procure, and then to classify.
Nothing but a tremendous sale could make the speculation answer.
Among the important alterations will be found those introduced into
the " Postal" Directory. It is, indeed, singularly full, useful, amid
complete ; and must such increase the daily, it might be more truly
pronounced its hourly value, particularly to the merchant, the
trader, or the professional man. As the new treaty with Prussia
caused very considerable changes in the rates of postage r s effecting
the Austrian dominions, Baden, Bavaria, Bremen, Deemark, the
German States, Hamburg, Hanover, Lubeck, Mecklenburg,, Olde
burgh, Poland, Prussia, Saxony, Sweden and Norw..y, Wurtembarg,
&c. &c. &c., those changes are detailed " precisely as they arranged
to come into operation on the let of Jamiery, 1347." The other
changes are not only numerous, but all the Intelligence is announced
to be brought down to a period as late as was compatible with the
appearance of such a volume in sufficient time for general circulation,
prior to the commencement of the year for which it is designed. 'the
business merits of the work are of the highest order, and reader it,
of its kind, we imagine, a publication unexampled in the world for
.ts completeness, fulness, and usefulness.
SUN, Nov. 18,1846.

The present Is the forty-eighth annual edition of the " Post-office
London Directory," and a truly marvellous effort of compilation it
is. The " Post-office Directory" has been for some years ender
the management of Mr. Kelly. Until he became the mmutger of
this work, there wexe divers other Directories In the field. They
have, however, all disappeared, and the " Post-office Directory"
now rules alone. This astonishing success, however, has not had
the effect of mating the proprietor of this gigantic work careless.
Ile is too thorough a man of business not to be perfectly aware
that the fruit* of his succens can only be reseed
by a cotinuance
of the same untiring energy by which the success was inn the first
Instance achieved, and accordingly we find that the " Pest-office
Directory" for 1847, is even more highly finished in all its elabor.-te
arrangements than any former edition of the book. The extent and
minuteness of the details furnished, render the work indispeesable
to every commercial and mercantile establishment. So admirably,
however, is this multifarious Information digested and arranged, that
there is not the slightest difficulty experienced in referring to the
articular page required to furnish the information—a marvellous
netance of clearness of arrangement in ass ork consisting of upwards
of two thousand closely but clearly printed octavo pages. This
Directory is certainly the most complete work of the sort e^er
offered to the public. Of not only the usefulness, but the indispen-
sable necessity of such a work, no man of business can for a moment
entertain a doubt ; and considering the completeness and fulness of
the information furnished, and the enormous outlay of time and o
capital that must have been made in order to acquire and digest the
information, the very reasonable price at which the work is published
le really wonderful.
GLOBE, Noy. 21, 1846.
Kelly's invaluable work, the " Post-office Directory," has just
made its appearance for the ensuing year. The vast mass of infor-
tnation which this book contains, makes It not only desirable but
absolutely necessary as a part of the office furniture of every ma^ of
business ; and scarcely less necessary, indeed, for every one else,
who requires to know anything concerning the trades, professions,
and localities of the great metropolis. In its present extended form,
the book is an absolute curiosity; the labour and expense whic% it
has cost to bring it to its present state of perfection must have been
Immense. In turning over its two thousand pages, one hardly
knows Which most to be struck with and admire—the excellent.
arrangement and utility of such a compilation, or the megnitude of
the city which requires such a directory. The voiume, moreover,
contains an excellent map of London and the suburbs, corrected
down to the latest strides of " bricks and mortar."
WEEKLY DISPA.TCII, Nov. 15, 18,_6.
The forty-eighth annual publication of this highly.'mportant and
useful work has just been iesued ; and wele muanst confess
reflect
when we that its
bulky appearance has surprised lls not a littd
that the price remains unaltered, although the expense of collecting
the maferials must have increased, we are pleased at the liberality
of Mr, Kelly, the proprietor. In a commercial point of view,

Directory," a " Conveyance Directory," and

valuable to the tradesman, the merchant, the lawyer, and pers ns in
ordinary life, as well as to the gentleman who occasionally dabbles in
trade. Every description of information has been corrected to
the latest possible period, and that information is arranged with a
clearness and simplicity which must have involved great activity of
mind and exertion of body. Sewed with the book Is an excellently
engraved Map of London, more extended and accurate as to the
e
suburbs than any map we have seen ; and to make it as complete
reference as possible, an almanac is introduced. In the " Postal
Directory" there are the new rates with various parts of the Con-
tinent which will come into operation on the Ist of January.
Altogether this new issue surpasses any of its predecessors ; and we
are not surprised that other Directories should have gone to the
tomb of all the Capalets.
BRITANNIA, Nov. 21, 1846.

The French people have done themselves some credit by their in-
dustrial expositions. But it must be acknowledged that, though in-
genlous and pretty, they appear quite insignificant cempared with
the iedustrial exposition presented to the mind by this mighty
volume. Keeping pace with the advancing trade and population of
London, it still increases in bulk, and keeping pace with the move-
ment of society in a more important particular, it vigilantly seizes
every opportunity of improvement to insure snore perfect accuracy
and more complete classification. We find in this volume rnaAy in-
stances of superiority to former issues, which, though comparatively
trifling, show the intelligence and care exercised over every depart-
ment. It may be mentioned, that by the employment of private
agents, the changes of residence are now brought down to a later
period than formerly, and the value of the " Directory" is conse-
quently enhanced. We have before spoken of it as Indispensable to i
the proper management of business. Its authority is now so univer-
sally established, both at the Post-office and throughout the metro-
' polls, that any further recommendation of it is superfluous.
JOHN BULL, Nov. 28, 1846.
This annual leviathan is already completed and published ; but
as a proof that the rapidity with which it must have passed through
the press has not operated against its careful accuracy, we may
mention that the changes rendered uecessary by the very recent
demise of 3i r. Stewart, M.P. for Renfrewshire, are duly attended
to (See pages 1669 and 1676). We have so frequently expressed our
approbation of this most valuable work, that we hardly know how
to vary our ummendation. It contains everything that can 1
pos-
sibly be reqired in a ffireCtOry—so full, so comp lete, so compre-
hensive are all its details. And wheu to this we add the extreme
ACGttracy which payadva owl department, we know not what elae

can be said in its praise. The machinery by which ,uch volu-
minous information is obtained, arrange and superintended, so as
o arold errors, must o: itself be among the " curiosities" of modern
literature.

ATLAS, Nov. 28, 1646.
A hook of this kind. brought out even without much pretension,
would be indispensable toe very gentleman's library, every merchant's
-ounting-house, and every trader's shop. But edited as this is, with
.ne utmost care —its materials being collected through the most au-
thentic channels, and embracing in its range every head of personal
and commercial intelligence essential to the completeness of sueli a
work, we cannot suppose that any house, public or private, which
can of a b lok of reference, will be without this compendious
volume. The arrangement is admirable. You can find any name
you want in a moment. All the heads are clear and complete--the
Court—trades—streets—offices—hotels, forming, upon the whole, a
mass of local information such as could not be brought together with-
out extraordinary industry, assisted by an entire command of all
equisite official facilities. As a mere compilation, it is probably the
most wonderful on record.
ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS, Nov. 28, 1546.
This huge volume, the forty-eighth edition of the work, well sus-
tains the reputation enjoyed by the " Directory" of late Yeats. In
the preface the proprietor maintains that the high character of the
work is not referable to its mere connexion with the Post-office ;
for an important change has been gradually introduced into the man-
ner of collecting the information ; and a larger portion of the work
theft heretofore has been confided to selected agents entirely uncon-
nected with the Post-office, this being, in great part, the plan of
compiling the editions for 1845 and 1846. Nor has the proprietor
rested content with his past success, but has introduced many impor-
tant alterations in this volume for 1847, and added to its bulk with-
out any increase of price. The Postal Directory' is especially im-
proved, and there are numerous changes throughout the volume, to
insure its completeness. The compilation must be a vast labour, to
be accomplished only by systematic subdivision and the most pains-
taking minuteness. The appearance of the volume has suggested a
very lively effusion, to be seen in another column; and we trust the
enterprising proprietor of the "Directory" will find that his labours
are duly appreciated and remunerated. To a great commercial
country this is an indispensable volume.
RAILWAY HERALD, Nov. 21, 1846.
The new volume of the Post-office Directory for 1847 is already
in out hands, and we can only express oar wonder that a work se
laborious, extensive, and minute, could be in any degree improved.
It would have been a sufficient merit to have maintained its former
reputation ; it is a great merit to have surpassed itself. The pro-
ductioo o: a work unequalled for accuracy and for clearness has
placed in the hands of the commercial public a most valuable and
indispensable aid in carrying on the business of this ♦ast metropolis,
which would indeed lee subjected to the greatest inconvenience and
expense if it were not for a work of this kind. In a short time our
readers will have an opportunity of judging for themselves on pur-
chasing the new volume, whether our anticipatory notice is in any
degree exaggerated.
lIERAPATH'S RAILWAY JOURNAL, Nov. 21, 1846.
The Post-office Directory for 1847 appears with additions and
improvements upon its valuable predecessor, but with no enlarge•
ment in the price. The continued enterprising spirit with which
this important, and it is not a misapplication of terms to say,
national work is conducted, merits the highest commendation. We
know net whether the same illiberal and unjustifiable attempt will
be made in the ensuing session as was done in the last, to wrest it
from the hands of the present proprietary, and to place it by the
force of might over right in the possession of Government. But
should it be attempted, surely the following statement of its con-
ductors will go home to the consciences, if they have any, of the
parties seeking to draw clown the grasping interference of Govern-
ment. "It can only be necessary to refer to a copy of the work pub-
lished before the purchase of the copyright by its present proprietor,
to be convinced that the mere connexion of the ' Directory' with
the Post-office has little, if at all, contributed to its present high cha-
racter. That the improvements (the result of many years of un-
wearied toil and application on the part of those engaged in the com-
pilation of the work) are duly appreciated, is now happily beyond all
question ; prior to the Directory' passing to its present proprietor,
rival books contended successfully with this. They have disappeared."

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—York, March 9.
CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron Rot. Fr..)
Henry Walton, aged 37, stood charged with having on the
3d of December, 1846. at Midgley, in the parish of llalifax,
feloniously assaulted Thomas Greenwood, and violently
stolen from his person 35 half. crowns, and some shillings, his
property.
Mr. Pickering, with whom was Mr. Eastwood, conducted
the prosecution, and the prisoner was defended by Mr.
Matthews.
It appeared that the prisoner and the prosecutor, who is
also a farmer, had both been working for a Mr. mith, of
Ilebden-bridge, from whom they had taken out wool to comb,
and the prisoner had been so employed fir several years be-
tore the robbery. On the 3d cf December Greenwood, toge-
ther with others in the same employ, had brought work to
the factory, and they had there received a 101. note, which
was to be divided among them according to the several
amounts of their wages. They went to an inn, called the
Shuttle and Anchor, near the factory, and there, being
fatigued, had something to drink. While there the prose-
cutor saw the prisoner enter, and he also stayed some time
drinking. Greenwood did not leave till between eight and
nine, or after nine, and then had about two miles to go from
that place, Luddenfoot, to his residence, which was
near to where the prisoner lived. When about half
way two persons came behind him suddenly, and one
of them knocked him down, when his money
was taken and carried off. The blow was
made with a bludgeon, and inflicted a wound on his head,
which bled much. He was for some time deprived of his
senses, and lay in the road; but upon coming again to him-
self he got up and went to the house of a man named Whit-
taker. It was a little before midnight. Whittaker took him
in, and afterwards conducted him back to the public-house
he had left. Greenwood was positive that the prisoner was
one of the men by whom he had been robbed ; said he was
not drunk, though he might be a little " concerned" by what
he had taken, which consisted of two glasses of rum and one
quart of ale, and denied that he had told Whittaker he could
not speak to the persons of those who had robbed him.
In addition to this, Mr. Smith, one of Greenwood's em-
p'fiyers, stated that he had seen both Greenwood and the
rrisoner at the Shuttle and Anchor that evening, when
Greenwood was certainly somewhat the worse for liquor.
And two women, living close by, stated that the prisoner
had been at their houses that night, and had left one of them
just before the robbery. To go to his own house he would
have to take the road upon which the prosecutor had met
with the violence.
The whcle case appeared to depend upon the evidence of
the prosecutor, and whether he had really been sufficiently in
his senses to identify either of the robbers, and to recollect
what account he had himself given of the transaction.
For the defence, Mr. Matthews having ascertained from
Smith that the prisoner had been working as a woolcomber
fur four or five years, and constantly maintaining his family
by his wages, proceeded to examine witnesses to prove an
alibi, and to show that Walton was, in fact, at home and in
bed at the time of the offence. This was spoken to by the
prisoner's sister, and another person who had met him on the
road near his house. In addition to which, Wm. Whittaker,
to whom the prosecutor went that night, swore that he
(Greenwood) had declared immediately after the robbery
that he was unable to say who committed it. He had said
that there were two men who so came behind him, but that
he did not know them.
After some deliberation by the jury, the prisoner was
Acquitted.

WESTERN ClRCUlT—Salisbury, March 9.
CROWN COURT.—( Before Mr. Justice CRESSWELL.)
James Russell was indicted for having feloniously set fire
to a certain rick of straw, the property of Eliza Bell.
Mr. Slade was counsel for the prosecution. The prisoner
was undefended.
It appeared that on the night of the 2d February last, a
neighbour of Mrs. Bell's was looking out of his window just
before going to bed, and his attention was attracted to a light
in the rick yard of Mrs. Bell, and on looking more particu-
larly he saw that one of her ricks was on fire. The fire
flashed up the rick, and the witness saw a man stooping
down under the rick by the fire. On the fire flashing up, as
it was described to do by the witness, the man stood up and
became distinctly visible, the rick not being above 100 yards
from the window. The man was dressed in a pair of leather
gaiters, smock frock, and high-crowned hat. He then ran
away. The witness immediately went to the rick to give
assistance, and there saw a policeman, who came up at the
same moment, and whom he informed as to what he had
seen, and the direction which the man who had been seen by
him at the rick had taken, and also described his dress.
Evidence was then given to show that the prisoner was ap-
prehended between four and five o'clock the next morning,
when he was dressed in the way described by the first wit-
ness. He was found in an outhouse, lying amongst some
straw, and said, when he was apprehended, that be had been
lying there ever since nine the night before. It was then
proved that the prisoner, who was a labourer and out of
work, had on various occasions threatened to injure the pro-
secutrix, because her bailiff had refused to give him work,
it was also proved that the prisoner was going towards the
place where the rick was burned just before the fire broke
out.

Mr. Justice CRESSWELL having summed up,
The jury fount the prisoner Guilty, and he was then sen-
tenced to ten years' transportation.
James Glass was indicted for having stolen two promissory
notes of the value of 'U. each, tie property of Mark Sawyer.
Mr. Rogers and Mr. Poulded conducted the prosecution;
the prisoner was undefended.
Mr. ROGERS having opened the case to the jury.
Mr. Justice CRESSWRLI. Stated that it appeared to him that
a very important question would he raised in it, as to whether
any larceny had been committed • but he should not stop the
case, but let it go to the jury, and, if necessary, reserve the
point for the consideration of the fifteen judges.
Mr. Mark Sawyer, a millwright, living at Cheveril, stated
that he had occasion to make a remittance to a Mr. Ormond,
of Milksham, and Mr. Rawlings, of Trowbriege. He ad-
dressed two envelopes to those gentlemen. He gave them
to his wife with two 51. notes, with some instructions on
paper to the postmistress to obtain a post-office order for si.
for Mr. Rawlings, and one for Mr. Ormond. The notes were
shown to him two days after.
Mary Sawyer, the wife of the last witness, proved taking
the notes and the envelopes to Mrs. Dutch, the postmistress
at Cheveril, and also the paper of instructions.
Mrs. Dutch proved that she received the notes, envelopes,
and instructions from Mrs. Sawyer. The Cheveril office was
a sub,ffice to Westbury, and the prisoner was the letter-
carrier from Westbury to Cheveril. She gave Ilia) the two
M. notes with the envelopes and instructions, directing him
to get post-offiee orders for them, and put them in the enve-
lopes and send them. She then asked him if she should put
them in the Cheveril letter-bag. He said yes, and she did
so, with the letters, wrapping up the notes and envelopes in
the paper of instructions. She then tied up the bag, which
was one kept for the convenience of the postmistress, that
the letters should not become mixed. The letter bill was
also put in the bag. The prisoner had authority to open the
bag at Bretton. This bag was then put into a pouch, which
he wore around his shoulders, with another bag. It was no
part of her duty to obtain post-office orders for persons, nor
was it the duty of the prisoner to carry instructions to obtain
such orders.
Miss Hurd, the niece of the postmistress at Westbury, was
then called, and stated that on the morning of the -- the
prisoner came to the Westbury office with the letters. Ile gave
her his pouch, saying, " There are two 51. notes in the Cheveril
bag for post-office orders for Mr. Sawyer." Tile witness, on
looking into the pouch, found that the Cheveril bag was not
there. She told the prisoner this, and he said, "Then I am
a ruined man." He then said that he had been taken ill
on the road to Bratton, that he had opened the pouch to look
for a piece of paper which had been wrapped round some lete
-
ters which had been given him to post, and be suppos h
had dropped the Cheveril bag out. He then went away,
saying he would go back and see if he could find it. Some
little time after he returned with the Clieveril bag, and gave
it to witness. The letters were all right, and correspon
not
d
with the writing in the letter bill, but the notes weree Lad
there. He then held up two envelopes, and said. h
ad
found them by the side of the bag. They were twisted uP,
and he said he had found them in that state, and there was
' nothing in them. Upon this Warner, an inspector of police,
was sent for. The prisoner was then asked by the inspector
how lie came to lose the money. and he
gave the same ac-
count of the transaction as he did to the last witness.
The inspector told him that his story was inconsistent,
and asked him to allow himself to be searched, which, after
some hesitation, he consented to. He was searched,
nothing was found on him, and he then took the inspector
to the place where he said he had stopped on the road.
Nothing, however, was found there. He was then taken to
the station.
A policeman was then called, who stated that he saw the
prisoner's wife's son on the morning after the prisoner was
taken up. lie went to the lock-up-house, where d
in his father
was confined. He then went away, and returne abo
half an hour; he then spoke to the witness, and !gave him
'
two five-pound notes, which were produced.
Edwin Orchard, the son of the prisoner's wife, was then
called, and stated that he carried the prisoner his breakfast
in the lock-up-house. His father-in-law told him to go
home and ask his mother for two five-pound notes, and carry
them about a mile out on the Bratton road, put them down
and then bring them back and swear that he found them.
He did so did
as he w requested. He then went to West-
bury, and gave the notes to the policeman.
Mr. Sawyer was re-called, and identified the notes which
had been given to the policeman as those he had given to
the prisoner.
This was the case for the prosecution.
Mr. Justice CAESSWELL having summed up, the jury
found the prisoner Guilty.
Mr. Justice CRESWELL then said that the impression on
his mind was, that he ought to reserve a point for the con-
sideration of the judges on the question of whether the pri-
soner was not a mere bailee, and not a servant to the pro-
secutor, and therefore could not commit a larceny of the
property ; and it was clear that it was no part of his duty as
letter-carrier to take the money from the prosecutor and
carry it to the postmistress. He however would consider
the point.
William Harrell, a strong, athletic, resolute-looking man,
of middle age, was indicted for robbery with
violence,
Mr. BALL conducted the prosecution,
'rite prosecutor, an old man of the name of Roger Watts,
was
also that he was a shoemaker by trade, but that he
also employed to collect rents. On the day of the robbery
s
be had been out collecting rents, and in

into a beer-house in the parish of Keov with m
sisting of two or three sovereigns and a good many
and sixpences. There were several persons in the shillingsbeer-house
who appeared to be conducting themselves somewhatrri lot-
ously, and to have alarmed theohl,dmrlnahne

asked a person who was there, w
to accompany him home, for fear there should be any dan-

and then ordered and paid for a quart of beer to

ac-
cordingly accompany him a short distance, he left
him and went back. On his way back he met thee prisoner,
one of the persons who had been left at the beer house, and
said to him," So, William, you didn't wait to have the beer.'
The prisoner said," D—n the beer," and walked
Shortly after this he must have knocked down the hpasrotsiel)c'uotonr.
and robbed him. The prosecutor swore that he knew the
man who knocked him down, and called him b
saying, " William Harrell, if you rob me, don'ti3i; uhrdisernmaine.e4
He then became insensible for some
mtitonnee, and when he
came to himself he found that all his was gone ex-
cept one sixpence. The prisoner was afterwards
f seen at a beer-
house at Bath, in the possession of a good deal omoney, and
when he was afterwards taken into custody he had upon him
one half-sovereign and a great many shillings and sixpences.
'He had been in regular work till lately, but for the last week

or so he had been out of employ. It appeared by the cross-
examination that the prosecutor had been drinking in the
course of the day, but he swore that he knew very well what
he was about.
Mr. C. SANDERS addressed the jury for the defence, and
submitted that it was a question of identity, and that they
ought not to rely upon the uncorroborated testimony of Watts
on this point. He also called a witness, who gave the pri-
soner a good character for honesty.
The jury almost immediately found the prisoner Guilty.
Sentence deferred.

HOME ClRCUlT.—Chclmsfurd, March 10.

- - ,
CROWN SlDE.—(Before the I.onD CHIEF JUSTICE.)
William Mason, 20, John Clegg, 21, and William Smith, 17,
three miserable-looking lads, were indicted for feloniously
setting fire to five stacks of corn, the property of Arthur
Shuttleworth.

Mr. Rodwell conducted the prosecution.
It appeared from the evidence that the prosecutor is a
farmer at Upruinster, and on the 26th of September, about
one o'clock in the day, he saw that the stacks in question
were safe in the rick-yard, and the prisoners were observed
sitting upon the gate leading into it. Very soon afterwards
the stacks were observed to be on fire, and although the
neighbours speedily rendered all the assistance in their
power the result was that two stacks of wheat, and three
others composed of beans, peas, and oats, worth altogether
2401., were entirely consumed.
The case against the prisoners was that they were upon
the spot at the moment the fire appeared to break out, and
they immediataly made off, without offering to render any
assistance, and were taken into custody a mile and a half
from the place, and upon their being searched an empty
Lucifer match-box was found in Smith's pocket. The pri-
soners were entire strangers to the neighbourhood, and it
would seem that they had been begging about the country.
There did not appear to be the slightest motive for the act,
except that it was suspected they had not received much
charity from the persons living in the neighbourhood, and
committed the offence out of a feeling of revenge.
The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE having summed up, the jury
returned a verdict of Guilty against all the prisoners, but re-
commended them to the merciful consideration of the Court
on account of their youth.
His LORDSHIP, in passing sentence, said that he was
always anxious to give effect to a recommendation of mercy
coming from the jury, and he should do so in this case, to
the extent of not inflicting the full sentence of transportation,
but it was absolutely necessary that persons convicted of this
odious offence should receive a severe punishment. In the
present state of the country, and the prospects before them,
the destruction of grain was not only doing a great mischief
to the owners of such property, but to the whole population
of the country, and if the crime should go on spreading, the
consequences could hardly be conceived. He then sentenced
the prisoners to be transported for ten years.
In the course of the day, the grand jury returned two true
bills of perjury and conspiracy against some of the parties
who were examined as witnesses before the coroner, in the
inquiry respecting the murder of the police-constable at
Dagenham. The ti ial will not come on at the present assizes,
as the charges only amount to a misdemeanour, which entitles
the defendants to traverse, and the indictment, therefore, will
not be disposed of until the summer assizes.
CIVIL SIDE.

Chief Justice Wilde got through the list of causes by two
o'clock to day, the only case which was likely to occupy any
time having been referred to arbitration.

MIDLAND CI 11C,'Ul l'.—Lincoln, March 9.
CLOTHING V. JAMES.
This was an action to recover 1001., the value of a horse
sold under a warranty of soundness.
Mr. llumfrey, Q.C., and Mr. Waddington, were for the
plaintiff ; and Mr. Whitehurst, Q.C., and Mr. Macauley,
were for the defendant.
The plaintiff is an extensive horse-dealer at Grantham ;
the defendant breeds and sells horses, his residence being at
Nottingham. The horse in question (a bay gelding) was
sold at Nottingham fair for 100/., but the morning after his
arrival at Grantham he coughed and showed symptoms of
disease, and died in three months from the time of sale. There
was nothing in the case to distinguish it from the common
run of such cases, there being the usual quantum of hard
swearing in opposite directions.
The jury retired, and after an absence of four hours, came
into court, the foreman intimating that there was no proba-
bility; of their agreeing to a verdict.
One of the jury called out, "We are nine to three, my
Lord."
Ultimately it was agreed the jury should be discharged
from giving a verdict.
ACTION FOR SLANDER—LEE V. JACKSON.
Mr. Humfrey, Q. C., and Mr. W. H. Adams were for the
plaintiff; Mr. Whitehurst, Q. C., and Mr. Wilmore appeared
for the defence.
The plaintiff (Mary Lee) is about fifty years of age, the
sister of a respectable farmer, occupying about 400 acres.
The defendant is also a large farmer, in whose service the
plaintiff had been for five years in the capacity of house-
keeper. Upon some slight quarrel she left, and at the time
the slanderous words were spoken, she was in the service of
a Mr. Foreman. In the autumn of 1845 she was on her
way from BOita-ta Limerick by the packet-boat, and com-
plaining of being unwell from the heat of the vessel, the de-
fendant, who was on board, said, "A glass of gin would do
Miss Lee good." Plaintiff replied, that if she wanted such a
thing she could get it, as Mr. Collard, the packet-master,
sold it. lle then said, " You have been drunk scores of times
in my house, and have carried stones after stones of bacon
of mine by this very packet." These were the words com-
plained of. The defendant simply pleaded the general issue,
not guilty.
Mr. WHITEHURST characterised the action as a trumpery
one, which ought to be laughed out of court.
The LEARNED JUDGE observed, in his summing up, that
the plaintiff was entitled to some damage for the attack made
on her character, the jury would say what.
Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, one farthing.
(Special Jury.)
HUNTLEY, CLERK, V. RUSSELL AND ANOTHER.
This was an action brought to recover damages for the
dilapidation of the rectory of Binbrook, in this county. The
action was brought by the present rector against the exe-
cutors of the late incumbent. The defendant had paid 2001.
into court, and denied further damage.
The case was of no interest except to the parties concerned.
There was conflicting evidence as to the amount of damages
between the plaintiff's witnesses, one of them putting it
below the amount paid into court.
The jury found for the defendants, a point being reserved
of the counts as to waste.

OXFORD CIRCUIT—Oxford, March 10.
CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice MAULE.)
William Cars was indicted for the murder of Hannah
Treadwell, on the 4th August last, at Henley, in this county.
Mr. Carrington and Mr. Piggot conducted the prosecution,
and Mr. Keating the defence.
The facts appeared to be these :—The prisoner, who was a
married man, had carried on for some years an improper con-
nexion with the deceased, who was a widow, and latterly in
very reduced circumstances. She and he frequently quar-
relled of late, and she was in the habit of following
him through the village, and importuning him
for money, and abusing him. She, further, was
jealous of him, and was constantly making imputations
against some of the neighbouring women. On the morning
in question the prisoner, who had a small piece of ground
outside the village, was going out towards it with a gun,
which he was in the habit of carrying in his hand; and he
unfortunately met the deceased, who immediately commenced
making one of those jealous charges against him, in reference
to a neighbour's wife, to whom he had spoken going along.
A scolding quarrel was the result, and she followed him
through the village, and into a path leading to his ground,
and they were seen no more for some time, until a shot was
heard in the direction in which they had gone. He was seen
returning soon after through the street in a hurried and ex-
cited manner. Two men went in the direction in which the
shot was heard, and found the deceased on a bank about 15
feet higher than the pathway, quite dead. There was a gun-
shot wound under the chin, which completely severed the
carotid artery, and produced almost immediate death. A
constable and some neighbours went to arrest the prisoner,
and he at once said, " I have done it. I must suffer the law,
and it will be a warning to others." The prisoner's gun was
found loaded, and on being asked why he had loaded it a
second time, he said he had done so for the purpose of shoot-
himself; but on consideration he thought it would be better
Ito have time to repent. The prisoner gave different ac-
counts of the transaction. He once said that they were
quarrelling as they went along, and he meant to have knocked
her down with the gun, but it went off he knew not
how. Another time he said, "It was all her doing; she was
telling such lies about me, and throwing stones at me. The
other day she threw a stone at me, and cut my lip. As I
was going along the path, she followed me on the bank,
abusing me. I stepped up the bank, intending to knock
her down, but I could not reach her, and I turned the gun
and shot her. Ido not know how it was I pulled the
trigger."
Mr. EWING having addressed the jury for the prisoner,
His LORDSHIP summed up, and the jury, after about ten
minutes' deliberation, returned a verdict of manslaughter.
His LORDSHIP, in passing sentence, said the jury had put
a merciful construction on the facts given in evidence, in
thinking that the prisoner might have had such provocation
as would reduce his offence to the crime of manslaughter.
It was, however, a most aggravated case, and deserving of
the most severe punishment the law awarded to the crime
of manslaughter, and the sentence should therefore be trans-
portation for life.

DESPERATE AFFRAY WITH
POACHERS.
On Saturday morning, as Keys and Frost, keepers to
the Rev. John Bramston Stane of Forest Hall, High
One•ar, were going their rounds between two and three
o'clock, they came upon some poachers in the wood near
Norton Hall, and when within five or six yards of them
the villains fired a gun before a word had been spoken,
but providentially the shot passed between the men, and
they escaped' injury. The poachers then took to their
heels, and the keepers gave chase, when Frost came up
with a. man named Blowes, who turned round upon him,
whirling the butt end of the gun, and had not Frost
evaded the blow the consequences would doubtless have
proved fatal to him. He, however, closed with the
fellow, whose companion stopped to rescue him, when
the other keeper came up, and with the butt end of his
gun levelled the other poacher to the ground. The
keepers then secured them both. During the affray a
bull dog which Keys had with him %eized Blowes near
the esye, and almost tore it out, and Keys in rescuing the
dog was bitten through the hand. The prisoners were
taken on Saturday by Superintendent Flood before the
Ongar bench of magistrates. Henry Bullock, I. T.
Wright, Capel Cure, and John Bramston Stane, Esqrs ,
and the Rev. H. J. Earle, when the above facts were
sworn to by the keepers, and the prisoners, John Page
and Charles Blowes, both labourers of Fyfield, werecom-
mittedmitted to take their trial on the charge of having
feloniously shot at Keys and Frost with intent to murderavin
them. The men were both in work, and the police took
from Page a good silver watch, with 295. in silver, and
from Blowes 21s. 6d. A more determined case has
