G•"°' SILVER, DIAMONDS, PEARLS, and

perfection, that but very few uninitiated persons can positively tell a
paste brooch or a ring from a diamond, the real pearl from the
imitation, or German Silver from the genuine ; but put them into
the hands of the connoisseur, how soon the delusion vanishes when
he affirms they are but vile and base imitations. So it is with the
most valuable inventions as well as stones and metals. None but
the inimitable in value are imitated in appearance, and as soon as
the consumer (the best connoisseur) attempts to use them, how soon
he finds out their utter yselessness. Thus it is with the most valuable

SOCIETY FOR THE IMPROVE•
MEN"' OF THE LABOURING CLASSES.
The third annual meeting of this society was held
yesterday at the New Model Lodging-house, in George-
street, St. Giles's ; Lord Ashley in the chair, who was
supported by the Bishop of London, the Bishop of
Norwich, Mr. Evans, M.P., the Hon. and Rev. Montagu
Villiers, the Rev. H. Dukenfield, &c. The attendance
was respectable but not numerous.
The CHAIRMAN opened the proceedings by stating that
there were three points to which the society directed its
attention at its establishment. The first was the allotment
of land ; the second, the establishment of loan funds; and
the third the improvement of the dwellings of the working
classes. With regard to the two first, he was not able
to say that they bad accomplished much as yet, but
with regard to the third a good deal had been done. There
had been two lodging-houses opened in Charles• street
and King-street, Drury-lane, and he expected that the
house they were then in would be opened on Monday
next fur the reception of the labouring classes. The
Noble Lord, after pointing out the dangers
which beset the labouring population who
came up to this metropolis to procure
employment, from the crowded and immoral places to
which they were obliged to resort, said that those lodg •
ing-houses were intended to obviate such evils, and he
hoped they would yet become part of their parochial
system. The Noble Lord dwelt at some length on the
great benefits of the institution, and concluded by im-
pressing upon the meeting the duty and the necessity of
supporting this society, calculated, as it was, to pro•
duce such incalculable advantages to the labouring
classes, and to promote the spiritual and temporal wel-
fare of their fellow creatures.
Mr. WooD, the secretary, read the report, which was
unanimously adopted, and the Bishop of London, the
Bishop of Norwich, Rev. Sir H. Dukenfield, and other
speakers having addressed the meeting, several reso-
lutions to carry out the objects of the society were
agreed to, and the meeting separated.
The house is calculated to accommodate one hundred
inmates, each of whom will have a separate bed, and a
separate apartment well lighted and ventilated. The
charge to each person will be only fourpence per night,
the rate charged at the ordinary lodging-houses, and from
the admirable arrangements made to insure cleanliness
and comfort, we believe that the establishment will be
seldom found to want its full complement of inmates.

The never-failing effects of Blair's Gout and Rheu-
matic Pills in curing every description of gout and rheuma-
tism, have secured to them a celebrity unequalled by any
medicine of past or present times. They not only give relief
in a few hours, where the patient has been driven nearly to
madness by the excruciating tortures of this disease, but re-
store to perfect health in an inconceivably short space of
time. They are equally speedy r d certain in rheumatism,
either chronic or acute, lumbago, sciatica, pains in the head
or face, and indeed for every rheumaiic or gouty affection : in
fact, such has been the rapidity, perfect ease, and complete
safety of this medicine, that it has astonished all who have
taken it ; and there is scarcely a city, town, or village in the
kingdom, but contains many grateful evidences of its benign
influence. Sold by all medicine venders. Price 2s. 9d. per
box. Observe the name " Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, Lou-

don," on the Government stamp.
A TRAP FOR TRADESMEN, &c.—Satan, in the
shape of an " accommodating" firm, has been sending
circulars among our neighbours, offering the " temporary
assistance" for a " moderate per centage." " Money or
bills, to speculate or trade with," may be had to any rea-
sonable amount ; and borrowers may rely, with the most
perfect confidence, upon every transaction being kept
snug. The arch-fiend recounts every possible emergency
in which a " merchant, manufacturer, tradesman,
or private gentleman of respectability" may stand in
need of a " bill;" and offers to take goods from his
victims for conversion into money. A more nefarious
circular was never issued. There is roguery in every
line of it. No honest man will hold a communication
with its contrivers ;—to do so would be, truly and
literally, to " sell himself to the devil." The first trans-
action with such a gang would be the beginning of a
mi-erable end.—Nottingham Review.
A splendid take of salmon was, on Saturday, the
sth instant, brought ashore on the south side of Pol-
Marstaig, by Mr. Mackenzie and a party from Aviemore
Inn. The part where the net was hauled is well known
as the best situation in the neighbourhood. There have
been no extraordinary takes of salmon in the river
Beauly this season, but they have been uniformly pro-
ductive, and the fish have run larger than in general ;
so that the season may be considered, on the whole, an
excellent one. Grilse are now making their appearance
in large numbers ; and as many as from thirty to forty
are taken daily. It is expected that as the year ad-
vances they will continue to increasein numbers. The
same remarks apply to the Conan, where the grilse have
also made a very promising commencement.—lnverness
Courier.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, June 18.
GLDSBY V. EBTILALL.
This was an action to recover damages for criminal
conversation with the plaintiff's wife.
Sir F. TRESIGER (with whom were Mr. Cockburn,
Q.C., and Mr. Mellor) said, the action was brought to
recover compensation in damages for one of the most
severe injuries which it was possible for a man to sustain.
The plaintiff was a commercial traveller to a respectable
house in St. Paul's Churchyard; and the defendant was
a builder, in an extensive way of business. Though this
was not an action which was frequently brought by per-
sons in that class of life, the injury of which the plaintiff
complained was, nevertheless, calculated to wound his
feelings as deeply, and entirely to destroy his happiness
and peace of mind. Indeed, to a person in the plaintiff's
station of life, the society and assistance of a wife was,
perhaps, even more essential than to persons who moved
in a more exalted station. He was obliged, from the
very nature of his business, to be frequently, Away from
home, and thus required, more than most men, the
watchful care of a wife for the protection of his home
and children. But all this he had been deprived of by
the unrestrained conduct of the defendant. The plaintiff
and his wife were nearly about the same age, and since
their marriage they had lived together in a state of
the greatest happiness and affection, and had three
children born of the marriage. In April, 1846, -the de-
fendant, who, he regretted to say, was a married man,
and the father of two children, came to reside in Heath-
field•-house, adjoining the plaintiff's residence in Elk-
ham-terrace, Islington. The plaintiff and defendant
were entire strangers, but while the defendant was ab-
sent from his home on business, the defendant, in some
way or another, introduced himself to the plaintiff's
house on several occasions, when circumstances occurred
which would leave no doubt whatever on the minds of
the jury that a guilty connexion had taken place between
them. The Learned Counsel then stated the evidence as
it was afterwards given by the witnesses; and called
upon the jury to award such an amount of damages
as would. give to the plaintiff soi*AatisfenacesvllswiflNC
insufficient, for the irreparable iiktut-9.-wfileh hsr-had sus-
tained. . ,
Edward Gadsby examined—l am the brother of the
plaintiff. My brother is 31 years of age; his wife is 26.
They have three children. I always found them living
comfortably and affectionately together. My brother is
a commercial traveller, which called him away from
home from time to time. I told him my suspicions in
February last. He would not believe it. I and my
brother married two sisters. He saw my wife about it,
but even then he would not believe it. He was in great
distress of mind. My brother has three young children,
the youngest nine months old. The father of Mrs.
Gadsby is a publican and a man of substance.
Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant SHEE—llite not far
from my brother's. My father keeps the North Pole.
The defendant's house is next door. I was there three
or four nights in the week. I saw the
,efendant at the
North Pole. Mrs. Gadsby kept father-in-law's
accounts. Mr. Esthall has lived thde bout a twelve-
month. He works for my father in-law, Mr. Elkham.
I never visited the Esthalls. Nefer saw Mrs. Esthall at
my brother's. I don't know that the children of the two
families play together. I applied to the witnesses when
my brother was obliged to go into the country, in Fe-
bruary. I have looked after my brother's interest, as I
had a right to do.
Re-examined by Sir F. THESIGER—EIkham-terrace is
called after my father-in-law. Defendant is about 32.
He carries on business in the New North-road, at Fins-
bury, and at Peckham Rye.
Mrs. Edward Gadsby--I am sister of the plaintiff's
wife. I mentioned my suspicions to my husband. I
never saw any dissension between the plaintiff and his
wife.

Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant SHEE-111 sister's
husband is not intemperate, and he is of a very good
temper. He is intoxicated sometimes, the same as other
gentlemen are.
Re-examined by Sir F. THESIGER—He is especially
good tempered' when he is intoxicated.
Margaret Davison—l formerly lived at Mr. William
Gadsby's, the plaintiff. When I went he had two chil-
dren. I don't know that the plaintiff knew the defend-
ant. I saw the defendant at my master's house twice
before the sth of September, when Mrs. Gadsby was
confined. I did not let him in. Mrs. Gadsby took him
to the parlour. He remained two or three minutes.
Mr. Gadsby was absent then. Mrs. Gadsby let him in
both times. Mr. Esthall went into Mrs. Gadsby's bed-
room a few days after she was confined. Ido not know
how long he remained. Eight or ten days after Mrs.
Gadsby was confined she sent me to fetch the defendant
to come and see her. I showed him up to my mistress's
bedroom. Mrs. Gadsby was lying outside the bed,
dressed. The nurse was in the room with the baby and
Caroline. Mrs. Gadsby told me to put Caroline to bed.
The nurse put the baby on the bed and came out of the
room. He was left there alone. I don't know how
long he remained. Charles, Mr. Elkham's servant, once
carried Mrs. Gadsby down stairs to the parlour. The
defendant came, as he said, by Mrs. Elkham's orders,
and carried Mrs. Gadsby up to her bedroom. Next
morning Mrs. Gadsby sent me to fetch Mr. Esthall to
carry her down stairs. I gave the message to his sister,
and he came at one o'clock and carried her down stairs.
Mrs. Gadsby sat in the parlour, which has Venetian
blinds and shutters. Mrs. Gadsby used to sit in the par-
lour, and would tap at the window, and then Mr. Esthall
came to the door, and Mrs. Gadsby let him in. That
happened half-a-dozen times. When Mr. Esthall went
into the parlour, the shutters were closed, so that no
one could see into the parlour. The defendant remained
about a quarter of an hour. Mrs. Gadsby wore a minia-
ture likeness in her bosom. Frequently it would drop
out, when she would pick it up and kiss it. This is the
likeness. It is very much like the defendant. Six weeks
after Mrs. Gadsby was confined I went into the country
to Cuckfield with her. The defendant was at the plain-
tiff's about a week before that. He came at seven in the
evening, and left at half-past one in the morning. 1
heard him come in. He remained in the parlour all the
time. They had no tea. Mr. Elkham came over at
about twelve o'clock. He called out to fasten the gate.
Soon after twelve o'clock he came again, and spoke about
the light in the parlour. Mrs. Gadsby told him she was
going to bed directly. He came a third time, when Mrs.
Gadsby said, the children were ill, and she could not go
to bed yet. The candle in the parlour
was putabout one o'clock. They remained half-an-hour in the
dark. Mrs. Gadsby sent me to see if Mr. Elkham was
out
standing about. I went to the side-door and looked over
the gate. I thought I saw Mr. Elkham. Mrs. Gadsby
told me to see Mr. Esthall safe over the back wall. I
saw him get over the wall. I twice took notes to the
post to Mr. Esthall. Mr. Esthall took me and Mrs.
Gadsby in his cart to the station at London-bridge.
When he asked if there was any more luggage, she re-
plied, " No, dear." At Cuckfield Mrs. Gadsby went to
the post-office and got a letter, which she opened imme-
diately. The letter was on half a sheet of paper; it was
very thick writing. This is like the letter. When we
returned from the country Mr. Esthall's visits continued.
They were in Mr. Gadsby's absence. On one occasion
I heard them kiss. I left on my own accord. Mrs.
Gadsby's dress was much disordered after Mr. Esthall's
visits. That was after her return from the country.
Sometimes it would sound as if they were romping.
Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant SHEE—I knew Mrs.
Esthall. She came sometimes once or twice a week.
Mrs. Gadsby went to Mrs. Esthall's two or three times
a week. Mrs. Esthall's little boy came sometimes. He
is about two years of age. Mr. Gadsby did not go to
Mr. Esthall's. Mr. and Mrs. Elkhan were at Mr.

I went round the garden to see if any one was at the
windows. I was in the front kitchen by the dresser
when I heard them kiss. The other servant's name is
Smith. I told the attorney about the tapping at the
window, but to no one else.
Re-examined by Sir F. THESIGER—I never saw Mrs.
Gadsby kiss her husband's miniature.

account of seeing Mr. Esthall there. I heard him fre-
quently kiss Mrs. Gadsby, when she let him in and when
he went away. He came frequently in the afternoon.
When Mr. Esthall was there I had to take care of the
baby. I told Mrs. Gadsby that I would tell Mr. Gadsby
about it. One day as Mrs. Gadsby was letting Mr.
Esthall out of the door, the child said, " Kiss me, Mr.
Esthall, as you kissed mamma." The child was never
allowed to come up after that.

Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant Wuanis—l am a

My boxes were searched by desire of Mrs. Gadsby. I
was out of place a fortnight, Mrs. Gadsby was sorry
I made so short a stay; she wanted me to stop.
Re-examined by Sir F. THESIGER—My mistress
wished me not to tell my master that Mr. Esthall came
every day, but only now and then.
Elizabeth Harper—l am a monthly nurse. I nursed
Mrs. Gadsby. She was confined on the sth of Septem-
ber. I never saw Mr. Esthall at the house before Mrs.
Gadsby was confined. I saw him in Mrs. Gadsby's bed-
room on the Tuesday or Wednesday evening after she
was confined. He bad some brandy-and-water. On the
Thursday after I saw him, Margaret Davison, and Caro-
line in the room. I think I left the room and went down
into the parlour, but did not remain any length of time.
The second time he came Mrs. Esthall was with him. It
appeared as if he had not seen Mrs. Gadsby before since
her confinement.
Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant SHEE—Mrs. Esthall
came twice. Mrs. Edward Gadsby came four times.
Mr. Joseph Robson--I was partner with Mr. Esthall.
My belief is that this is not his handwriting.
Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant SHEE—Mr. Estball
had work to do for Mr. Elkhan, and at the plaintiff's
house. They were little jobs at intervals.
Joseph Drain—l am a house painter. I know the de-

fendant's handwriting. Ido not believe this to be his
handwriting. I saw Mr. Esthall a fortnight ago, and in
court to-day, but not in the King's Arms.
Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant WILKINS—He
knocked me down ; I have an action against him.
Sir. F. THESIGER—Then he certainly knows his
hand.

Charles John Freeday examined—l am a surgeon. I
have attended Mr. Gadsby and his family for some
years. He has always been very fond of his children
and his wife.

Mr. Sergeant SHEE then addressed the jury for the
defendant, and said that the entire case was supported
by the nursemaid, for he was sure that the evidence of
the maid-of•all-work had been c9mpletely demolished by
the cross-examination of Mr. Sergeant Wilkins. The
Learned Counsel then commented upon the evidence of
Margaret Davison, the nursemaid, and urged upon the
jury not to pronounce a verdict against the defendant
upon such slight evidence as that.
The Learned JUDGE having summed up the evidence,
the jury gave a verdict for the defendant.

JUDGES' CHAMBERS, June 18.
BRETIN V. BUNN.

This case, which appeared in The Sun on Wednesday
last, was again brought before Mr. Justice Coleridge on
Tnursday, after the hearing of the summons in " Bunn
v. Lind." The application was on the part of the de-
fendant, for commissions to examine witnesses in Italy
and France, and further, for a postponement of the trial.
The matter was now discussed at some length.
Mr. Lewis appeared as solicitor for the defendant, in
support of the application; and Mr. Ogle attended as
counsel for the plaintiff.
The defendant had made an affidavit, setting forth that
he could not proceed to trial without the evidence of
Mademoiselle Taglioni, M. Adrian, and M. Petipa, and
that they were resident abroad. On the other hand, the
plaintiff made an affidavit, in which he stated that Made-
moiselle Taglioni, who had a residence at Corno, in
Italy, had been announced to appear at her Majesty's
Theatre, and was at the present period fulfilling an
eogagement in. Germany. The cause had been en-
tered ,for trial some time back, aud had been made
a-special jut 7 easc,isT„ the defendant, and now
been entered fbr thir-piesent sitifigik`4 `The plaintiff
further stated that the application was made to delay
the cause by •the defendant, from whom he claimed
nearly 5001. for salary; that he had, being a foreigner,
to pay 2001. into court as costs by way of security ; and
if the trial was postponed, it would entail great hard-
ship and expense on him; and that the witnesses whose
attendance he required were connected with her Ma-
jesty's Theatre and the Italian Opera, Covent-garden,
and as soon as the season was closed, they would Quit
England for some time.
Mr. Justice COLERIDGE inquired, in the course of the
case, whether the action could be referred?
Mr. LEWIS thought not, remarking that there were
other engagements which would probably depend on
the present action.
His LORDSHIP made an order for the commissions to
issue, and for a postponement of the trial ; and, on
his suggestion, the 200/. paid into Court by way of se-
curity was directed to be paid to the plaintiff

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
OLD COURT.

-
(Before Chief Justice WILDE and Mr. Baron ROLFE.)
Ann Cleveland, aged 26. and John Hill, alias Dolly,
who stand charged jointly with the murder of the
illegitimate child of the female prisoner, were placed at
the bar.
Sergeant ALLEN, who was instructed to defend the fe-
male prisoner, applied to the Court to postpone her
trial. He said, she was only committed for trial on the
Bth inst., and he was informed by her attorney that he
had not had sufficient time to prepare her defence, and
if the trial was postponed, he expected to be able to ob-
tain the testimony of some witnesses which would be
very material for her defence.
Mr. BALLANTINE said he had been instructed by the
parish to prosecute the prisoners, and of course the only
object of those who instructed him was, that the truth
should be ascertained. He had listened with anxiety to
hear whether his Learned Friend stated any facts as
grounds for his application, as in that case he should
have immediately acceded to it. No such facts, how •
ever, appeared to be stated, and he would merely call
the attention of the Court to the very lengthened in-
quiry that took place both before the coroner and the
magistrate, at which the professional advisers of the pri-
soners were present. His Learned Friend Mr. Ser-
geant Allen had also been specially retained for the
defence of the female prisoner, and he understood that
all parties were in readiness to have the case disposed of
that day.
Mr. CLARKSON said, that on the part of the male
prisoner he should certainly object to have the trial
postponed to the next session. He was discharged by the
magistrate, and was only implicated in the transaction
by the verdict of the coroner's jury.
Mr. Sergeant ALLEN said his application at present
was, not to postpone the trial to the next session, but
merely to a later period of the present one.
Chief Justice WILDE, after conferring with Mr. Baron
Rolfe, said that the Court was always ready to listen to
the application of a prisoner to postpone his trial upon
the representation that he had not bad sufficient time to
prepare his defence, and would be particularly anxious
to do so in a serious case like this ; but at the same
time they must take care not to establish the bad prece-
dent of postponing trials without any fair or reasonable
ground being urged for their doing so. All they had to
act upon at present was the statement of the attorney
that he might possibly, if delay were granted, obtain
some evidence which might be useful to his client, which
might be said in the case of every prisoner ; and under
these circumstances they felt that all they could do was
to let the trial stand over till Monday.
Mr. Sergeant ALLEN said he believed this delay would
be all that was required, and the female prisoner would
be ready to take her trial on that day.
John Gorman, 26; Denis Gorman, 20; James Coffee,
27, John Gilbert, 23, and Catherine Gorman, 50, the
mother of the first-mentioned prisoners, were indicted
for feloniously cutting and wounding James Hubbard
and Thomas Carmody, police-constables' in the execu-
tion of their duty, with intent to do them grievous
bodily harm; and in other counts the intent of the pri-
soners was laid to be, to prevent their lawful appre-
, hension.
Mr. Bodkin (with Mr. Clark) conducted the prosecu-
tion for the Treasury ; Mr. Clarkson defended Coffee
and Gilbert, and Mr. O'Brien defended the other pri-
soners.
From the testimony of numerous witnesses who were
called in support of the prosecution, it appeared that on
the evening of the 24th of May, the prisoners, all of
whom are Irish, were in a public-house at Pimlico, called
the Flask, and a man, named Minter, who had formerly
been pot-boy in the house, was also present. According
to his statement, when he was about to leave the room,
he was attacked, without any provocation, by two of the
male defendants, and severely beaten, and when he got
out of the house he obtained the assistance of the two
constables named in the indictment, who accompanied
him back to the Flask for the purpose of taking the per-
sons who had committed the assault into custody. The
moment, however, the constables went into the room,
they were attacked by the prisoners, who beat them
violently, and eventually turned them out, and then
barricaded the door. A reinforcement of police was sent
for, and the door was burst open, and a most desperate
affray then took place, during which the prisoners made
use of a poker, quart-pots, and other dangerous instru-
ments, and the constables received very severe injury,
and were prevented from doing any duty for a consider-
able time. The conduct of the male prisoners appeared
to have been most ferocious, and there did not seem to
have been the slightest provocation for what they did from
the beginning to the end of the transaction.
The Counsel for the prisoners made the only defence
for them that the facts of the case would allow, and urged
that although their conduct had certainly been most vio-
lent and unjustifiable, yet the jury might conscientiously
believe that they were not actuated by the felonious in-
tention ascribed to them by the indictment, and merely
convict them of an assault.

jury,ntHen theyst toL LORDSHIP,

told prisoners Guilty
upon the third count of assaulting the constables with the
apprehension.the prisoners
that he was of opinion the jury had come to a most hu-
mane decision with regard to their conduct. The male
prisoners appeared to have acted in the most savage and
ferocious manner, and the woman who stood in the posi-
tion of mother to two of them, instead of endeavouring
to appease them, appeared to have rather excited them
to persevere in their violence. It was almost a provi-
dential occurrence that death had not ensued, and if that
had been the case, he did not see how they could have
escaped a conviction for murder. Persons in their con-
dition must be taught that such violent resistance to the
officers of justice would always entail severe punishment,
f
and it was absolutely necessary for the protection of so-
ciety that this should be the case. He then sentenced
James Coffee, who appeared to have been the ringleader
in the affray, to be kept to hard labour for eighteen
months, John Gorman for fifteen, John Gilbert and
Denis Gorman, twelve months each and the mother
Catherine Gorman, three monthslimprisonment and hard
,abour.

POLICE
LIAMB ENTELLIGENCE.
TH.
Mr. James Dell Ewen, who described himself as a
publican ou inf business, was charged before Mr. Norton
with riding a second-class carriage with a third-class
tieket, and refusing to pay the extra charge of fourpence,
from Barnes to London, on the Richmond Railway.
A gentleman from the office of the solicitors to the
South-Western Railway Company, after briefly stating
the circumstances under which the prisoner had been
given into custody on the night before, read from the
wilfully and knowingly
riding in carriages for which they had not paid the
proper fare, and also enabled a magistrate to convict
company
llYp'esretenta a
i clause which empowered their officers
to ° into custody for
such persons in any sum not exceeding 40s. and ex-
penses. Practices such as those of which the prisoner
had been guilty were of frequent occurrence ; but still
the object of the company was not so much to press for
a, penalty as to vindicate the power which the law had
given them.
