INDIAN CATTLE.-_ 'PThih -thin yak brought
to Calcutta by Mr. Huffnagle, is one of the most curious
animals that we have ever seen. It is at present on the
premises of Mr. Adam F. Smith. It seems a connecting
link between three very different zoological genera. It
has the head of the ox, the body of a goat, and the tail
of a horse. Its osteology differs from that of the ox,
having one more rib. The cold climate of which it is a
native, its resting-place being among the snow, renders
Calcutta particularly trying to the auimal. It is a
mere object of curiosity, but .on the same premises Mr.
Huffnagle has four Lepcha cows from Darjeling, which
we consider likely to improve our breed of lowland
cattle far more permanently and effectively than any
importation which has yet been made. A bull of
the same stock would be a still more valuable gift to the
vicinity. These cows have the slightest possible rudi-
ment of a hump, and the ears are rather large, thin,
and pendulous, as in the Nagore breed, otherwise in
frame, .in fineness of head, lightness of bone, and supe-
riority of udder, they Approach closely to some of our
best English breeds. To look it the black cows, a ca-
sual observer would conclude that they were e the best
kind of the Welch breed; whilst the one which is brindled
white and brown, looks much like a Devonshire. They.
are altogether a most promising source whence to derive
improvement to our Bengalee cow and ox.; and we hope
Huffnagle will fully carrye out his intention of breed-
ing from these cows, not only ?by a Nagore but Eng-
lish bull, and „our desire is still greater. that a Lipcha
bull should be brought • to the'Presideney. ' We saw the
cows during the hottest period-Of the dhy, and, though
in not the best sheltered of sheds, they did .not seem
to .suffer from the heat 1- whilst the-yak, though in
.a
much cooler place, was panting extremely.--Cnlctqta

seriously, he appeals at once to his tender years, " Ci! it

claims to be treated as a man. Ladies and bi;hops

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF • BANKRUPTCY, Aug. 4
(Before Mr. Commissioner FANE.)
IN THE MATTER AF BELDON AkD MANN.

The bankrupts formerly carried on business as wine
and spirit merchants in Water-lane, Great Tower-street.
Thiscase, which has created considerable interest, came
on this day for further investigation, when the bankrupt
Mann again surrendered to pass his adjourned final exa-
mination, Which had been postponed from the 21st of
July ; Seldon at that time was allowed to pass.
At the last meeting it was alleged that the banicrur t
Mann withheld various books of great importance, with
a view to the concealment of property. He gave an ex-
planation before Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque that he
concluded these books were either in the hands of their
hte traveller, who had been in possession of various do-
cuments for a considerable time, relating to the business,
or that, when an execution was placed in the warehouse
by the Sheriffs in November last, they had been mislaid
or lost.

Thomas Gilling, the person in question, restored the
missing books to the official assignee, thus exonerating
the bankrupt. The liabilities were heavy, but many
creditors held securities upon Mann's private estate,
and otherwise which would amply repay ;"those who did
did not hold security caused the bankruptcy..
'Mr. KEANE urgently pressed for the passing of his
client, and made a powerful appeal in his favour. Mr.
Keane also stated that, however imprudent the bankrupt
might hire been in disposing of a large sum of money
which he had received for the sale of an estate, relative
.to which this day- he had undergone a most strict inves-
tigation, he was much to be pitied, as the bankrupt had
-been completely ruined by innumerab:e law-suits, and
various other matters, which had absorbed a much larger
amount than Mann had embarked in business ; in fact,'
his total loss was computed at 3,0001. Mr. Keane was
prepared to show, and submitted, that. no blame whatever'
could be attributed to. Mann whom he represented:
Mr: POLLOCK, who attendedTer the creditors, Still. per-
sisting in his objections, '
• Mr. Commissioner PINE' adjourned the case,, until
Tuesday next, by which ,time he hoped the bankrupt
Mann would be enabled; to provide more clear and
Satipfactoq account, and produce vouchers..for the- dis-
position of the cash lie.hatl received:in-January last.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE,-
• :ROME- ;CIRCUIT.--ILewes, August 4.
J'arnes Clark, a railway labourer, was hitlidied for a capi-
tal offence upon LfiCy short. •
Mr. Clarkson conducted the prosectition,'andle de-
scribed-the case as-one of an extraordinary-and aggra-•
vated character, and he obLerved, at the same time, that
although the Legislature had s:Tii fit to abolish the eapi-
tal punishment for offences of this'descriptioni that altera-
tion would not. come .inte 'effect fOr some Weeks, and, in
point of fact. the life of therisoner was at stakeln the
present inquiry.
It appeared from the evidence that the prosecutrix a
very sickly young woman, twenty-years Of age, was left
in charge of some younger children in her father's cottage
at West Hoathly on the 13th July- last, and in,the
middle of the day the prisoner and another man
_named
Robert Tandy, came to.: the house and asked the prose-
cutrix to give them some cabbages, but she said she must
not do it as her father would scold her if she did. With-
out any thing more being said, the prisoner Clark seized
the poor girl, dragged her with great violence into an
adpining- wash-house, and having locked the door, com-
mitted the offence imputed to him. He then called on
the other man Timely-, and he also assaulted the girl.
The Jury fotind the prisoner Guilty.
Robert Tandy, 31', was then indicted, capitally, for his
share in the same transaction.
The evidence was to the same effect as that adduced
in the last case, and the Jury also returned a verdict of.
Guilty.
James Macdonald, 38, was indicted for a similar offence
upon Jane Langridge.
Mr. Tindall conducted the prosecution.
The prosecutrix in this case was eighty-five years of
age, and on the 23d of last April she was lying on her
bed, Very poorly, and while in that position the prisoner
who is a tramp, and gets his living by vending ballads
about the country, forced his way into the use and
committed the offence.

The Jury found him,Guilty.
Chief Justice TINDAL then ordered the three prisoners
to be placed at the bar, and after observing upon the
enormity of the offence they had committed, and the ag-
gravated circumstances connected with them, ordered
that judgment df death should be recorded against them,
but he said that although their lives would be spared,
the y would be transported for the remaining period of
their existence.

CHESTER AND NORTH WALES CIRCUIT.
August 3 '
(Before Mr. Justice ERSKINE)
THE STOCKPORT MURDER.' CASES—CONVIC-
TION OF A FATHER FOR POISONING HIS
CHILD. ,

Robert Sandys and. Ann, his rift, were this morning
placed at the bar, charged with the. wilful murder of
Elizabeth Sandys, their daughter, an infant only six
months old, at Stockport, in this county, on the 24th ..of
September last. The prisoners were two' Of 'them. ac-
quitted yesterday on a charge' of poisoning Mary Ann
.Sandys, also their daughter.
The. ATTORNEY-GENERAL (with whom was Mr.
Townsend) stated the case to the Jury.
Mr. WELSBY, the prisoners' counsel, then took an ob-
jeCtion the forM of the indictment. He contended
that the clinic with which the piisoners stood charged
was not sufficiently described, for after stating that they
had administered to the deceased a certain deadly poison
called arsenic, whereby she became mortally- sick and
distempered in her body, it went on to state, ".of which
said mortal sickness she, the said Elizabeth Sandys,
died." It did not aver that she died` of the poison. His
Lordship would find that all the precedents required an
averment that the death was caused by.the.poison.so ad-.
ministered.

A lengthened ilrgitthent ensued-.0n., the point; in: the
course of which the Learned JUDGE observed that the
indictment stated that the mortal sickness was produced
by poison, and the sickness caused the death. Nothing
short of a direct authority would induce him to decide in
favour of the, objection,. because, . if he was wrong, the
partieS: might escape punishment. altogether. It was,
however, extremely • dangerous to "attempt to shorten
common law indictments, or to alter them so as to make
the wording More like common sense ; the safest course
was strictly to follow the precedents:
Mr. TOwNsEND produced vol. 2 of Moodv's Crown
Cases, the very last preced( nt, in a case tried before all
the Judges, which had in the present instance been
strictly followed.
The Learned JUDGE, after looking at several autho-
rities on the subject, said he would leave the case for Mr.
Welsby hereafter to move in arrest of judgment, if it
should be found necessary.
The evidence was then proceeded with. It occupied se-
veral hours, and was in substance similar to that adduced in
the former trial. It appeared that on the 7th June the male
prisoner entered the deceased a member of the Philan-
thropic Burial Society.; that on the 6th of September
following he made inquiries as to whether she was en-
titled, to the benefit of the Society in case of death. Ile
was told she was not. The following week he made simi-
lar inquiries, and was told she then was. On the 20th the
deceased was seen by a neighbour very ill, and the pri-
soners said she had been ill about a fortnight. On the
24th she died, and was buried the following day, the male
prisoner having in the meantime received 31.85. 6d., the
allowance of the Society. He also gave two different ac-
counts of her illness to the registrar and the sexton of
the Roman Catholic Chapel, where she was buried.
Suspicions arising on the 17th of October, the body was
disinterred, examined, and
,arsenic found in the stomach.
The appearances also proved that she had died of poison.
The mother of the deceased averred that the deceased
had not taken any food from any one but herself and her
husband.

Mr. WELSBY addressed the jury at great length, con-
tending that the case amounted to nothing more, than one
of strong suspicion, and therefore the jury ought to giye
the prisoners the benefit of the doubt in which it was in-
volved..

The Learned JUDGE having summed up,
The jury retired, and, after an..hour's consultation,
found Robert Sandys Guilty, and acquitted the other
prisoner. . . . .

-.-
Tilc. JUDGE ordered him to be retained in.custody mi-
til the .nest assizes, in consequence. of it motion for an
arrest of judgment.
The prisoner was removed from the bar in a 4tAtc.,of
unconsciousness. . •• • ,

The Grand Jury having been addressed by the Chair-
man, retired to their own room, and shortly after re-
turned into Court with various bills.. .

Robert Fisher, aged 19, was convicted of stealing, at
Clapham a pair of clogs, the property of 'Thomas Hart,
and was sentenced to two months' imprisonment.
James Crane, 32, and Stephen Tayior, 31, were in-
dicted for feloniously stealing, at Chobham, a quantity of
turf, the property of Edmund Nicholls.
The prisoners pleaded—Not guilty.
It appears. that the inhabitants of Chobham have .a
right of cutting turf on Chobham Common, but, accord-
ing to the custom of the Manor, no turf can be sold off
the Common to any but an inhabitant of Chobhant
pariah. Mr. Nicholls, the prosecutor, had, at the begin-
ning of July, employed one. of his workmen, named
Collyer, to cut and stack some turf for him- on the
coinir.on. On, going the next morning to the Common,
ColVer, and another of the servants of Mr. Nicholls, dis-
cviered that during the night several of the turfs had
neen removed in a waggon, which they tracked for ten
mileS to the farm-yard of Mr. Willis, at Egham, where
I they, found a waggon unloading turf. Mr. Willis stated
.that he had bargained with the two prisoners for two
loads of turf, for which he was to pay 3s. 6d. a load, and
that the prisoners had told him that he must send his

own cart; for them at night, for it was not exactly al-
lowable to. sell turf off the Common to persons not re-
siding in the parish. He had accordingly sent them to
arrange with his carter; named Cotter, and the prisoners
and Cotter had gone to the Common, and loaded the turf,
which was ready cut and cocked in the spot where Col•. lyer had cut it. The prisoners and Cotter had returned
with the turf to Mr. Willis's. .On Collyer claiminr, the
turf, as -Mr. Nicholls's property, Mr. Willis itnmediately
offered to pay the regular price, and gave him a so-
verereign. Oa his- cross-examination, Mr. Willis said
that ho "had always before paid 6s. or Bs. a load for turf,.
and that it struck hiin that this was remarkably eh:IP-
He admitted that he had a6ted tastily in purchasing the-'
turf when the men had told him it was not allowable to.
sell turf• Put of the pgikh. " • •

The prisoners received a good character.
It was also stated that they had each large families,
and were
.ou'.; of work at the time, and in great distress
in consequence.
The egAIRMAN, in summing up, commented most se-
verely on the conduct of Mr. Willis, and intimated that
there ought to have been three prisoners at the bar in-
stead of two.

The Jury, having consulted together for a short time,
returned the following verdict :—" We find the prisoners
guilty, but we are of opinion that they acted as they did
from the inducement held out to them by Mr. Willis ;
and we think that if justice had been done, Mr. Willis
would have been placed alongside the prisoners. We beg
to recommend them to the merciful consideration of the
Court."

" They were then sentenced to seven days' imprison-
ment in solitary confinement.
The CHAIRMAN then called up Mr. Willis, and, after
having cautioned him as to his future conduct, told him
that the Court could not think of allowing him his ex-.
penses.
Mr. Willis expressed a desire to say a few words in his
justification, and said that he had been influenced by no
ill intention in what he had done ; and that when he had
discovered that the turfs had been stolen, he had afforded
every facility in his power to the prosecution.
The CHAIRMAN said he was exceedingly sorry that a
person occupying the respectable. situation in life which
Mr. Willis did should have given his evidence in such a
manner.

Mr. Willis, having again disclaimed any intention 01
robbing either the prosecutor or Chobham Parish, with•
drew.

"These, Sir, are only a few of the too many instances
which I can recollect of duplicity practised by Alexander
Somerville on those who were so unfortunate as to be-
come a prey to-his insinuating and artful way.of
timizing.
" I have the honour to be, Sir, your most hiunble servant,
" ROBERT M'COR MICK, late Sth Scots, B.A.L.
" To Captain Roberts, B. A.L."
Captain Roberts stated that the complainant was a
private in the Lancers, of the British Auxiliary Force,
who served under General Evans in Spain, and upon the
dissolution of that force Scott retired to Belfast, in
Ireland, where he worked for some time as . a wood-
turner, until he met with an accident, by which he lost
the use of one of his hands. Some time after the acci-
dent, an _advertisement appeared in the London Journals
as well as the provincial ones, and also placards signed
" Alexander Somerville," stating that he was an agent
for the recovery of gratuities and pay due by. the Spanish
Government to the British Legion, and which was secured
under the Convention of both countries; he undertook
not only to recover the amount, but make them an
advance.
Sir P. LAURIE—Was this the Somerville that made,
such a noise 'at the Reform .Bill, and figured away in the
Scots Greys.? Captain Roberts said that it was, and
proceeded to state that every soldier on his discharge,
obtained certificates for his gratuities and pay, which
being indorsed by the holders, were transferable. Scott,
on seeing Somerville's handbills in Belfast, applied to him
by letter, to which he received the following answer
" 13th Jan.,1841, 4, Brydges-street, Strand, London,
" Stn,--I beg to acknoWledge the receipt of your.let--

to examine them. The moment he sees them, and says
they are good ones; I shall instantly .send you,monQy for
them. I shall either purchase them at thirteen shillings
in the 'pound, or get you the instalments, keeping two
shillings each for my trouble, or I will do anything else
you may instruct me, if that is in my power.
" Only, as I have been taken in by purchasing and
lending money on bad documents received

endeavour to do next Ivee4.—l am your's faithfully,
"A. SOMERVILLE._
"Mr. James Scott, 5, Mitchel-street, Belfast."
Sir PETER' LAURIE—What was Somerville origi-
ginally ? Captain 'Roberts—He was originally a la-
bourer in a stone quarry, and latterly was an orderly to
Colonel Jacks. .Subsequently he went to Glasgow,
and commenced agent -for the recovery of the British
claims ; and Belfast being so near, he despatched his
emissaries 0t.4 there. •
Sir PETER LA.tnizE—What was the price of the certi-
ficate ? Scott—An offer of 13s. in
,the pound was made

to me. • . .
Captain Roberta-The father-.of' •Seott*. on receiving-
Somerville'S letter, forwarded. the certificates unindorsed,
and of which they heard nothing • until th 4 made appli-.
cation to the Spanish Government, . and the following
answer was received from Monsieur Castaneda, the Spa:
nish 'Commissioner
"163, Albany-street, Regent's-park, April 21,1841.1
James Scott,
" In reply to your application respecting your certifi-
cates, I have:to,inform you that the one fi,r arrear of
pay was presented at - the . office by Mr. W. HOPkins, of
the Hole in the Wall, Fleet-street, London, who
..ob-
tained a final certificate for the same in his own name.
The other for gratuity was also preserted at this office
by the same person, who received Ist and 2d instalments
payable thereon the 14th February last.
" MIG 1.. CASTANEDA."
Accordingly an application was made to Mr. Bradburn,
a gentleman much employed in the recovery of Spanish
claims, and he took Stott to Queen-square police-office,
when Scott declared ho never indorsed therii_,.' also
a declaration to fie same effect was obtained
from his fall er, nuovithstanding .they were sold in thi,
market to Mr.ilopkins, and they bore the indorsement
of Scott. Ai:d what was required of Mr. Hopkins was
that he should give up the certificates which he holds of
Scott's and the endorsement on which is forged.
Mr. Hopkins—l bought them in the market at the
market price, and they are transferable by- indorsement.
Sir P. LAunin•There is no doubt but Somerville
forged the indorsement. Pray, Mr. Hopkins, how mud
did you give for them. Mr. Hopkins—Twelve shillings
in the pound.
Sir P. LAURIE—To what amount of Scott's did you
purchase. Mr. Hopkins-,-About 171.
Sir P. LAURIE—Pray- who did you purchase theM
from ? Mr. Hopkins—Of a Mr. Gilbert.
Sir P. LAURIE—Where is Mr, Gilbert? .

himself as his clerk, said that he was a livery-stable
.keeper,
.and he got them from Mr. Baudry. who keep:
the Britannia- public-house, . Commercial-road, and
Baudry got theM from Somerville, and Gilbert gave:s3
per: cent. for them. .1 •
Sir P. LAURIE—I suppose Baudry and the other par-
ties are dealers in them? Williams—Yes, they are,
when legally indorsed. •
Sir P. LAURIE—WeiI, Mr. Hoptrins, had you.not bet-
ter give them up? Mr. Hopkins—l have not got them.
Sir P. LAURIE—Whose are they ? _Mr. Hopkins-7—'
'sold them.

Sir I'. LAunlE—When ? . Mr. llopltts—About six
weeks After I purchased. them.
§if 'l,AuttLE—Whett--had, you nottn- of the rot;
fiery ?„, Mr. Hopkins—About the 19th of July.
_ Sirß. LAunlE—Did S'ou sell them' before you bad
the, notice ? Mr. Hopltins—Tl did ; it was decided!)
wrong to have purchased them without ascertaining thi
genuineness of the indorsement, but when I purchased
them from Mr. Gilbert I had no doubt of every thing
being correct. - . •

Mr. Williams—Gilbert purchased them from Batilry,
and he had them from Somerville,

Sir, P. LAURIE—Oh, yes, we know that ; but what I
want. to ascertain is, whether it was likely that Hopkins,
Gilbert. and Baudry had any knowledge of the trick
played by SomerVille.? Capt. Roberts said that he- did
not believe they had.
Sir P. LAURIE—What has become of Somerville ?
Capt. Roberts— After finishing his agency operations in
Glasgow he published a work gal led "A Narrative of the
British Campaign in Spain,":which sold very well, and
he subsequently came to London, and published a six-
penny work in 15 numbers, which he called " A Nar-
rative of the Wars. of Europe," which also sold well,
and a part of which appeared ir. the Dispatch.
Sir P. LAURIE—Oh, in the Dispatch ; then he was one
of the pillars of the Dispatch x Captain _Roberts—Ye:,
and for which he was tied up ; he subseq.uently fell oia
with the Dispatch, and:published aletter in the Moral,. g
Advertiser, and he had latterly become an advocate ft r
military flogging.—(Laughter.)
Sir P. LAURlE—However, it appears that those par-
ties did not know of the forgery. Captain Roberts—
Certainly. I am sure they were not cognizant of it.
Sir P. LAURIE—Why did Somerville choose Glasgow
as the field of his operations ? Captain Roberts—Because
we inlisted 2,500 men, and upwards of 100 in Belfast.
Sir P. LAURIE—HOW many certificates are still out ?
Williams—Upwards of four thousand.
Captain Roberts—My object in seeking this public
inquiry is to spoil Somerville, which as sure as it is
made public it will do.
Sir P. LAURIE—It does you infinite credit to come
forward-in behalf of thoSe pour plundered men. pray,
Mr. Hopkins, to whom tlid you sell your certificates ?
Mr.,Hopkins—To Mr.'Gilbert.
Sir P. LAURIE—TO -Mr. Gilbert, from whom you
bought thein-; how came that ? Mr. Hopkins—When I
heard there was a likelihood of there being trouble about
them.
Sir F.•Ltua,/!;..:-How- came you to ciippose there
IYELS to- be - any treuble. about thema Mr. Fopkina--
-From a letter I received from Mr. Jiirkman Lane,
.the homey!, 7 •
•

Sir P. LAURIE—Did you sell the certificates back to
Gilbert before or after you receiv:A Mr. Kirkman Lant 's
letter ? Mr. Hopkins—Oh, before 1 received the lette; •
Scott—No you did not ; for two months afterwards
saw my certificates in your hands.
Mr. Hopkins—No you did not ; I showed you the eel°
tificate of another Scott. -
Scott—'There was no other Scott in the Aams• re7itnr, f•
Mr. Hopkins—The certificate showed you belong( d
to a man ...I' the same name in another-regiment.
Sir P. LAURIE—It appears that there . has been most
extraordinary dealings in these certificates.
Captain ltobertg—Most shameful. 1 know where one
person holds 9001. of those certificates, composed entirely
of the two months' and six months' gratuities, the former
3/. and the latter 91., for which a mere trifle was given.
And the publicans, Jews, and crimps of Portsmouth
obtained hundreds of them for a pot of beer, or a gloss

of gin. .
Sir P. LAURIE—Oh, shocking, shocking !
Captain Roberts—And I know that one physician, at
the west end, holds 15,000/. worth, purchased through-
an agent.
614. r. LAURIE—WeII, I think as those parties have
creditably come forward to meet the charge, and as they
are respectable people, they will give to Scott anything
they made by the purchase of the certificates.
Mr. Hopkins and Mr. Williams having agreed to do so,
Sir P. LAURIE inquired what became of Somerville ?
Captain Roberts said that it was reported that he was ip
the Isle of Man, and begged to say that as the casewould
no doubt,go before the public, he did not, in the most re:
mote way, impute anything improper to Messrs. B°Ps
kins, Gilbert, and Baud ry. s
Sir P. LAURIE perfectly concurred in the observation,
and congratulated Capt. Roberts on the victory he had
achieved.—The parties then left the office.

GREENWICH POLICE. • Chapel'

Greenwich, applied to Mr. Grove for advice under the
:following.. circumstances :
The applicants stated, that at a meeting of the trustees,
held some time since, it was determined that the serviees
of certain musical gentlemen who had officiated in thl
orchestra of the chapel should be.. dispensed with, an;
notice of such resolution was forwarded to each. d
gentleman, however, in opposition to such .resolution. au,

in intruding himself into,the orchestra and playing a °tite:
Two letters had been forwarded -to him requesting
to desist desist from such annoyance, but to no purpose, for
regular as the Sunday came there were the g • ertlelus°
and the flute. •
Mr. GROVE said it .Was a, :strange ease-1.-le believet
however, that the trustees possessed the same power t r„.
