SATURDAY EVE

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
EXCHEQUER CHAMBER, Aug, 20.
(Before Mr. Baron PLATT).
The Learned JuDcE this day disposed of a suremnns
taken out by Mr. George Ross, the manager of the
Heir•at-Law Society, to comp 1 Mr. J. Molineux Tay-
lor, a solicitor, of Furnival's Inn, to deliver up eernsin
documents and papers. It appeared from the affidavits
on both sides that Ross had induced various parties to
employ him to commence proceedings in Chancery for
the recovery of estates to which it was said they were the
lawful heirs. Amongst others, Mr. William Hartley, of
Heywood, Lancashire, a wealthy cotton-spinner, had
commenced a suit against the Earl of Ducie. A person
of the name of Butterworth was the plaintiff in certain
proceedings instituted against a Mr. Reeve, and Mr.
Chadwick Healey claimed of the holders of the estate of
Sir Andrew Chadwick property estimated to be worth
100,000/. It was sworn that in each case large sums of
money had been paid to Mr. Ross for the prosecution of
the several suits, and much time and trouble expended
by the claimants, until the rem nstrances of the friends
of Messrs. Hartley and Butterworth, induced Hugh
Williams, clerk to the Heir-at-Law Society, to accom-
pany them to the office of Mr. Taylor, to whom Williams
showed bills in equity which he wished to be filed im-
mediately in their behalf. To this Mr. Taylor de•
cidedly objected. It was replied that the claimants
had forwarded from Lancashire the proper autho-
rity to employ any solicitor whatever in their behalf,
and ultimately he consented to proceed with the
suits, but with the express understanding that he
was to have nothing to do with Mr. Ross or his society.
This arrangement was accede d to, and Williams having
paid in the whole Si. 13s. 6d. on account of the plaintiff,
Mr. Taylor nnderto,dr the business, but afterwards sent
back the money to Mr. Williams, and wholly repudiated
all connexion with him. Soon afterwards, Healey, who

it appeared, was an acquaintance of the other claimants,
got away the papers from the offices of the society, and
brought them to Mr. Taylor. It was to recover these
papers that Mr. Ross applied for the aid of the Learned
Judge. His affidavit stated that the sevaral above.•
named claimants, in consideration of his services on
their behalf, had given him irrevocable powers of at-
torney, by whch they debarred themselves from all right
of interfering in the management of the suits, and over
and above the payment of his costs and charges were to
allow him a commission upon the sums to be recovered.
A variety of particulars were set fizth, which were con-
tradicted by the affidavits made on the other aide, and
the Judge was asked to give effect to the agreement
above stated, by ordering that all the documents relating
to the society in question in the possession of Mr.
Taylor should be delivered up to Mr. Ross without
delay. In delivering judgment, Mr. Baron Platt said
there could be no such instrument made, under the cir-
cumstances, as an irrevocable power of attorney; and as
the claimants were the clients of Mr. Taylor, and con-
curred in his resistance to the present claim set up by
Mr. Ross, he was at a loss to conceive upon what grounds
it could be defended. Mr. Ross ought not to forget that
there were statutes of Champerts and Nlaintenance, and
should be wary in his proceedings. He should dismiss
the summons, but without costs, as he considered that
Mr. Taylor had not been wholly regular in his pro-
ceedings.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
NORTHERN CIRCUIT-1 iverpool„-iugust IS.
(Berore the CHIEF BARON.;
John Thomas Williams, a young American, between
IS and 19 years of age, was indicted for the wilful mur-
der of Thomas Cearus. .

The prisoner was a sailor on board of an American
vessel called the Columbia, which, in the month of March
last, was lying in the Liverpool Docks. He boarded et
the house of a person of the name of Starkie, in Deni-
sen street, in that borough. On the night of the 8:h of
.March, about twelve o'clock, he was at the corner of
that street ; and, according to the evidence of a women
of the name of Jones, she met him there, and had from
him something to drink at a public-house in the neigh-
bourhood. There were two other women there of the
names respectively of Ellis and Thomson, all the th ee
being the inmates of a house of ill- ame, kept by the
deceased, in Westmoreland-street, at no great distance
from Denison-street. There was a person of the name
of Fatkins in comp ley with Thomson, and they two
went away to Crams, being shortly after followed by
the prisoner, in company with Ellis and Jones. On
the prisoner and his companion coming into the
house, he found the deceased, Thomson, and Fatkins
in the parlour on the ground floor. The prisoner
then had a clasp knife fastened round his neck with a
string. Thomson and Fatkins, and the prisoner and
Jones went up stairs, but Thomson came down shortly
after, arid was followed by the prisoner and his corn
pardon. Fatkins remained up stairs. The prisoner had
been called down by a man of the name of Brown, a
sailor, who had been lodging in one of the upper rooms,
and was about leaving the house to join his ship. He
heard the voice of the prisoner, and called him down,
they having been shipmates together. Some proposal
was made by one to treat the other; which it was who
made the proposal did not very distinctly appear; but
this was declined, and Brown shortly after left the
house. The prisoner remained some little time, and
was then asked by Jones whether he would go to bed or
leave. He said he would do neither one nor the other.
The deceased told him that it was time to shut up, and
asked him whether he was isoine. or not. He said he
would please himself about that. 'The deceased then got
up and opened the door, and the prisoner went out, bid-
ding them good night. The evidence of the three
women, Ellis, Thomson, and Jones, was to this effect;
no discrepancy of any importance existing in their tes-
timony, and they all swore that there had been no quar-
rel furthex, than above described, and that no violence
Whatestei MO been offered to the prisoner.
According to their statement, about ten minutes had
elapsed from the time when the prisoner went out until
a knock was heard at the door. At that time there was
a bright fire in the room, and a candle burning on the
chimney-piece. Jones was standing with her back to
the light, and Ellis and Thomson were beside a table at
the window close to the door. On hearing the knock
Thomson went to open it, but the deceased prevented
her and opened it himself. The prisoner was at the
door with a knife in his hand, he put his foot inside the
door and struck the deceased in the throat. There was
but one blow given, and the door was immediately shut,
by whom did not appear. The prisoner was heard to
run away, and the deceased cried out he was stabbed.
and ran part of the way up stairs towards the room oc-
cupied by Fatkins, calling on him to get up. Fatkins
came down stairs and found the deceased a few steps
from the bottom in a fainting state. He had a gash in
his throat. A medical man was sent for, and the de-
ceased was taken up stairs, where he very shortly after
died. On a post mortem examination, a piece of the
blade of a knife, about two and a half inches in length
was found within the breast, which had penetrated some
of the large vessels of the'heart.
A person of the name of Eccles, who occupied a cellar
under the house occupied by the deceased, stated that
in question, half-past twelve

o'clock,

and see what I'll do for you." There was then a noise
of a scuffle on the steps, which she said lasted it might
be two minutes, and then the person went away. Very
shortly after an alarm was given of the deceased having
been stabbed. It appeared from the evidence of a person
who was in the street which crosses the end of West-
moreland-street, that about the time of this occurrence
the prisoner passed him. He muttered to himself; and
swore he would be avenged for being struck with the
stick. He then turned and went back into Westmore-
land-street. Very soon after the witness saw him again,
and he was then inquiring the way to Denison-street.
The prisoner, it appeared, was in Denison-street about
one o'clock, knocking at the door of Mrs. Starkie's board-
ing-house, when a police- officer of the name of Blake SAW
and spoke to him. He seemed very confused. The officer
went down the street, and on his corning back went into
an entry which was near Mrs. Starkie's. Blake was
soon after called down to the neighbourhood of the
docks, and hoard of what had occurred. He received a
description of the prisoner and of the place where he
lived, and returning to Denison-street apprehended him
near the entry. No knife was found upon him, but there
was an empty sheath, such as is worn by sailors, round
his waist. He was, it appeared, a sailor on board the
Columbia, where a chest was found which was opened by
a key taken from his person. His sheath knife was
tound in the chest.

Mr. Sergeant WILKINS, for the defence, inquired of
Mary Thomson, one of the witnesses for the prosecution,
whether, on being some time before taken to Bridewell,
on a chargo against herseV, she had not said she would
not come against Williams at the assizes, anti that she
had sworn falsely against him, as he had been very ill•
used by Cearus, who had struck him with a saucepan and
a stick ? She denied sos,.ral of the expressions im
puted to her, endV to the others said she could not have
said so, but said she was so very drunk she recollected
little about the matter. Blake, the constable, however.
said she had made these statements to him. She was
certainly in liquor ut the time, but was sufficiently sober
to know what she was about.
It appeared also, from the statement of the deceased
when dying, that the prisoner had come home with one
of the lodgers, that they had a quarrel, that he struck
him, and that he (the deceased) put him out of the
house. He sail the man came back in a few minutes,
was bursting in the door, and when it was opened
stabbed him without saying a word.
Mr. Sergeant WILKINS addressed the jury for the
prisoner, pointing out that the chief witnesses—all indeed
who professed to have seen the transaction—m.iet have
been guilty
doubt, be satisfied that there had been a quarrel, and
of wilful perjury. The jury would, no
that violence had been offered to the prisoner. That was
beyond a question, and when the witnesses upon whom
the whole case depended were convicted of uttering
falsehood upon this point, what reliance could they place
upon their testimony in others? He urged that there
was strong reason to distrust O'Neil's testimony as to
seeing the prisoner returning into Westmoreland-street,
muttering threats, and contended that on the whole case
there was ample ground for believing that the violence
offered, and which the witnesses had denied altogether,
had been excessive, and such as to have compelled the
prisoner to the use of the knife for self-defence.
The jury found tte prisoner Guilty of Manslaughter,
recommending him lo mercy.
To be imprisoned six calendar- months, having been
Imprisoned since March last, his trial being postponed
last assizes in consequence of his illness.
George Bevan was indicted for arson.
Mr. Adolphus and Mr. Blair fur the prosecution; Mr.
Sergeant Wilkins and Mr. Atkinson for the defence.
It appeared that early in the morning of the Bth of
June last a person of the name of Eastwood, passing
the shop. occupied b' the prisoner as a boot and shoe.
maker, in Castle street, Kirkdale, in the borough of Li-
verpool, heard a crashing of glass, and there was in-
stantly a buret of Herne in the shop, and a dense smoke
issuing from the shatters. He endeavoured to alarm the
inmates and the mighboure, but it

lapse of some minutes that a man, who proved to be the
prisoner at the bar, made his appearance at the garret
window. Eastwood called out to him that the house
was on fire. On which he seemed much alarmed, and
was apparently about to get out of the window on the
roof. E estwoed called to him to rene,in where he was,
and they would ge? laiders. With the assistance of
some policemen who had come up ladders were raised
up to the windows. By this time the prisoner had die-
appeared. A man went up the ladder and called in at
the window several times, but received nu reply. In the
meantime Eastwood and some others went round a nar-
row passage leading to the back yard, and there, at the
door of the yard adjoining, found the prisoner's father who
resided in that house, with several of the female members
of his family, who were partially undressed. The pri-
soner's father got over the wall into the yard attached
to the prisoner's house, and was followed by Eastwood.
The back door was then open, and the prisoner's father
standing near it. Eastwood found the key iu the yard
door, and opened it to let in some of the policemen. lie
and the prisoner 'e father then went into the house.
There was then no smoke or fl one but in the shop.
They went through the several rooms, and into the front
garret where the prisoner slept, but did not find him.
They came down again, and E. stwood went for a candle.
He came up into the house again. In the meantime the
prisoner again made his appearance at the front, and got
upon the ladder. He came down the greater part of the
way, and then clasped the ladder as if about to slide
down. The persons below called to him not to do so, and
a policeman went up and helped him down. By this
time the smoke was rising very thick, and on reaching
the ground he fell on the pavement apparently insensible.
Ile was removed to the house of a relative in the neigh-
bourhood, and was some time before he recovered his con-
sciousness. Before he came out of the window he threw
out a suit of clothes, in the poi ket of which, as sub-
sequently appeared, was hi: policy in the Guardian As-
surance Company. The shutters of the shop having
been opened sufficiently to enable the persons assembled
to throw in some water. the flames were subdued, and
several police officers entered the shop. On an exami-
nation of the shelves and floor it was discovered that
the whole had been covered with sheets of paper satu-
rated with turpentine, and that the shop throughout had
been flooded with that combustible. It was dripping
through the floor into the cellar. There were quantities
of it in the shoes, and, in the opinion of the persons
who made the examination, two or three gallons had
been used for the purpose. The prisoner, it appeared,
was alone in the house, his wife having gone to Man-
chester some days before. The shop had been shut up
about the usual hour, and the prisoner himself said he
had bolted the back door about eleven. This door was,
according to the father's statement, open when he got
over the wall into the prisoner's yard, but there were
no marks of violence upon it. The kitchen window ad-
joining it was latched, and the door must accordingly
have been opened from the inside.
The prisoner, it appeared, was insured in the Guardian
Assurance-office for upwards of -100/ He had a lease of
the house for a short term of years, and had made alter-
ations on it to convert it into a shop. The landlord,
however, was to do all the substantial repairs. The stock
was net so injured by the fire as to offer any diffieulty in
estimating i:s value ; and the whole covered by the
Policy, including stock, fixturee, and wearing apparel,
was valued, at the utmost, at 160/.
It was the opinion of the officer who examined the
shop, that from the nature of the arrangements matte fur
setting it on fire, several parties must have been engaged
in the matter, and a candlestick was found in the lobby
which did not seem to have belonged to the prisoner. It
was alleged the prisoner was obnoxious to some trade
combination among the operatives in the business he car-
ried on, and it appeared in evidence, that the prisoner's
father resided on one side of him, and the shop on the
other side was about to be entered upon by his brother-
in i w, who had lai eat some money upon it.
The prisoner was Acquitted.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

OLD COURT.
(Berore Mr. Ju.tice Ellr.E.)

uff-nce.

Edward LaU'r, a well-dresed man, apparently be-
tween forty and fifty years old, who had been out on
nail, was ind:cted for a felonious assault upon Mary
Arne Hitchcock.

Mr. Clarkson prosecuted; Mr. Ballantine defended the
prisoner.
So far as the circumstances of this case admit of being
detailed, it may be stated the prisoner in this case was a
master painter, and he had obtained the contract to paint
a house at Streatham, which was in the charge of the
prosecutrix and her husband. On the 29th of July the
prisoner was in the house, and it appeared that he took
advantage of being alone with the prosecutrix to commit
the offence imputed to him.
The jury found the prisoner guilty of an assault only,
and he was sentenced to be imprisoned and kept to hard
labour for two years.
The other cases disposed of during the day were devoid
of interest.

NEW COURT.
(Before the IiECORDE.R, Aldermen Gums, and Sir
CHAPMAN MARSHALL. &C.)

John Daniels, Thomas Muir, John Jackson
John Angrove, and Patrick Callaghan, surrendered on an
indictment, charging them with stealing a quantity of
rope and other marine stores from on board the Nymph
frigate, off Wool.vieh, on the 30 h of July, the property
of our Lady the Queen. Arother count charged the
possession of the said stores without lawful authority.
Messr,. Ballantine and Parnell were counsel for the
prisoners. Mr. Godson, Q.C., (with whom was Mr.
C•ark) stated the case tor the prosecution.
The case has been fully reported under the head of
Greenwich rolize court, and the evidence to-day was
of precisely the same character.
Several persons were called, and of the number an
officer who was on duty on board the Nymph on the
night in question, who deposed that he saw all the pri-
soners on board that vessel. His wife was also on board.
Did not see them take away the stores in question, much
less did he hand them to them.

A police-sergeant proved that he saw the prisoners in
a boat, in which was the rope produced. He hailed and
followed them. Afterwards found the property on
board another vessel (the Spitfire, we believe).
The LEARNED GENTLEMEN for the defence rigidly
cross-examined the witnesses, and addressed the jury for
their respective clients.
Mr. GODSON replied at considerable lergth.
The RECORDER summed up the evidence very mi-
nutely, and
The jury, after consulting a short time, returned a
verdict of Guilty against all the prisoners.
Mr. GODSON said he was instructed to state that pre-
vious to this transaction the prisoners had borne good
characters, and several persons were called to have the
fact recorded. _ _

The RECORDER then ordered Crout, Harman, and
Adams, who were convicted yesterday of unlawful
possession of other naval stores, to be placed at
the bar, • and sentenced them all to pay a fine
of ss. to the Queen, and that Crout and
Harman be imprisoned in 'Maidstone gaol for two
months, and Adams for one month. The other five
prison( rs were told by the Recorder that the offence
they had committed was a serious one, and of frequent
occurrence, and must hereafter be put down by severe
punishment. At present the Court would not pass sen-
tence, in the hope that judgment hanging in terrorum
over them, would influence their future conduct. They
might be discharged on entering into their own recog-
nizance in the sum of 401. each to appear for judgment
if called upon, and that each of them find a surety in
the sum of 401.

Barnard Bere was indicted for stealing a diamond
and gold breast pin, value 6/, the property of Richard
Wilcox Fairlam, a jeweller, onLudgate-

A second indictment charged him with stealing a gold
ring, value 21., the property of Abraham Barber.
Mr. Charnock appeared for the defence, and Mr. Ry-
land, the City Pleader, stated the case, at the instance
of the Corporation of London.
A shopman in the employ of the prosecutor deposed
that on the evening of the 20th of July last, the pri-
soner and another gentleman came and requested to be
shown some diamond breast pins. They inspected them,
and after a time they went away. After they were gone
witness missed one of the pins.

By Mr. CHAuNocK—They had five pins of the same
pattern, but the diamonds were not all of a size. One
had been sold, but not that found on the prisoner.
A City polic,man, who followed and apprehended the
prisoner, produced the stolen pin.
Mr. CHARSOCK addressed the jury, but they imme•
diately found the prisoner Guilty.
He was then charged on the second indictment, and it
appeared that the prisoner went, with two companions,
to the shop of the prosecutor, and looked at some hand-
kerchiefs, but made uo purchase. After they had left
three minutes he missed the article in question. Some
handkerchiefs were also missing.

The jury again convictvd the prisoner.
When called on to state whether he had anything to
say why judgment should not be passed, he made a
long statement, through the medium of the interpreter,
hut the Court did not consider it very relevant to the
issue.

The RECORDER sentenced him to hard labour in the
Compter on each indictment.
James Hart, aged 19. was indicted for feloniously
cutting and wounding William Markursh, one of the
City police, when in execution of his duty, with intent
co do him grievous bodily harm. Another count charged
a common assault.

Mr. RYLAND, the counsel to the force, stated the
case for the prosecution, which was instituted for the
purpose of protectvng the constables when they were
attacked and their lives endangered.
The prosecutor stated that at 3 A.M., on the 13th of
July, he was on duty in Bridge-street, where two men
were fighting, and several per%ons, among whom was
the prisoner, formed a ring to protect the combatants.
Witness attempted: to stop the and disperse the
spectators, when the pri,q)ner struck him right and
left, and during the contest he received a wound which
obliged him to
,go to Mr. Child, the police surgeon.
Has known the prisoner five years. The men fighting
made their escape..
M. Stanley, a policeman on duty in Fleet-street,
on the morning, cxamined —He confirmed the prose-
cutor.

Mr. Child, the surgeon to the City Police, described
the injury the prosiscutor had sustained.
Mr. PAYNE ad lit essed the jury, and observed that no
Knives or daggers- were used at the affray, but it was a
fair stand- up fight in which the combatants were engaged,
as in the good old times. The Learned Gentleman said
he
.should call r,!spectable witnesses to prove violence

sons he hoped that they would obtain credence, and that
the jury would not, by their verdict, brand the youth
with the offence oil felony.
persons perss were' called. They stated that the
prisoner was provoked by the violence of the police.
Some of the wiwesses wore subjected to a very ievore

cross-examination by Mr. Ryland, who replied on their
evidence.

The RECORDER summed up, and left the jury to de-
cide whether the prisoner was guilty upon either of the
counts.

The jury consulted a short time, and then returned
a verdict of Guilty on the s,,c,•nd count, accompAnied
by a rvcominetida ion to mercy. belicoiiug it hi% first

In consideration that he had been confined since the
13th of July, the Court sentenced him only to three
months' further imprisonment.
THIRD COURT.

(Before Mr. Commissioner BULLOCK and the COMMON

SERGEANT.)

Notwithstanding that the Grand Jury Room is not
yet at liberty, such is the anxiety to shorten the session
that a third Court was formed to- day in one of the ban
queuing; rooms, and a number of cases were disposed of,
many of which were unimportant.
John Wilson was indicted for that he stole on the
29th of July two coats, of the value of 4/. 10s., the pro-
perty of Slr. Joseph Charles, of Fleet-street, since de-
ceased.

J. Spinks, an intelligent little boy, stated that he saw
the prisoner, whose fea'ures he was acquainted with,
come out of a tailor's shop in Fleet-street, with two coats
under his arm. lie gave an alarm, and the prisoner was
stopped.
A person in the employ of Mrs. Charles identified the
property, which was stolen from the inside shop.
The jury having returned a verdict of Guilty, it was
proved by evidence that the prisoner had been thrice be.
fore convicted.

The prisoner loudlv protested that the boy was mis-
taken, and complained that he had not had a fair trial,
nor had be had time to prepare his defence.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
Caroline Russell was charged with having intermarried
with William Henry Stephens, her first husband, Henry
George Russell, being at the time alive. The prisoner
appeared upon the sheet as Caroline Norton.
Mr. Humphreys appeared for the prosecution, and
Mr. Pelham for the defence.
Mr. George Henry Yarrow, of Shoredich Church-
yard, parish clerk, said—ln 1841 I saw the prisoner.
I know Henry George Russell, and was present in the
church when he and the prisoner were married, and
signed the parish register on that day, and do not enter-
tain the slightest doubt upon the subject.—[The wit-
ness produced a copy of the entry, which had been pro-
perly attested ]
Henry Smith, of the Detective Police Force, stated
that in cons, quence of directions which he bad received
from a gentleman named Shaw, he took the prisoner into
custody. Mr. Yarrow accompanied him at the time.
Witness took her to the St. Giles's station-house, and she
said at that place that Mr. Stephens was aware that Rus-
sell was alive, and had persuaded her.
Mr. Yarrow, in answer to a question from the Lord
Mayor, stated that he had seen Mr. Russell, the husband
of the prisoner, on the preceding night and on that
morning.
Mr. Humphreys submitted that enough had been
stated to authorise a remand, and stated that he should
produce at the next examination the whole of the re-
quired testiur ny.
Mr. Pelham said the statements of Mr. Humphreys
were merely supported by inferences to be drawn from
very loose statements. He, however, did not consider it
necessary to object to the proposal of remanding the lady
at the bar.
Mr. Humphreys said the lady had admitted that she
had been married before, and that her first husband was
alive, and the whole of the conversation which had taken
place upon they subject put it beyond all assertion that
the bigamy had taken place, although legal evidence had
not as yeL established the pint.
Mr. Humphreys then put in the copy of the entry
made in the parish register of the solemnization of the
marriage hem en William Henry Stephens and Caroline
Mary Norton, in the church of St. Aucirew, Holborn, on
the 25th of July last.
The prisoner was remanded for a week.
LW If- S TREE T.
An aged man, named Louis Capuy, %was charged with
having in his possession a quantity a indecent prints
and books of foreign manufacture, for the purposes of
sale.

Mr. Neal, from the office of Mr. Pritchard, secretary
to the Society for the Suppression of Vice, appeared for
the prosecution.
Colby Atkinson Davies, a Custom-house officer, stated
that by the directions of the Commissioners he pro-
ceeded to the house of the prisoner in Lichfield street,
when he met him in C-cil court, St. Martin's-lane,
carrying a blue bag, and knowing the trade he dealt in,
he stopped him, and found a great quostity of books and
prints of an obscene character. lie when gave him in
charge.
In answer to the Court, the witness said he had a
writ to authorise him in searching the prisoner's shop,
under the 9th and 10th Viet., chap. 1.02, which made
such property liable to seizure.
The prisoner said that the articles Jae carried were
neither in a shop or exposed, and, in fact, the society
was more guilty of exposing, as he newer asked any per-
son to purchase from him.
Mr. HENRY observed that the amend Vagrant Act
required such things should be exposed' for sale to call
for a summary conviction.
Mr. Neal said that it was an offence in common law
to have such articles for the purpose xf making sale of
them.
George William Chapman proved that he received in-
structions from the secretary to the society, in conse-
quence of which he went to Cecil-coeirt with another
person, and was shown about 200 primes; by the prisoner
it; his room, and having bought a prim for 15s. he said
he would call again. Yesterday having been shown a
set of twelve, for which the prisonttr demanded five
guineas, the prisoner said he bad great difficulty in pro-
curing such articles, and was afraid to keep them in his
house.
Mr. HENRY said he considered that an indictable
offence had been clearly made out, an.ei he would hold
the prisoner to bail to answer the charge at the sessions.
CLERKENWELL.
EXTRAORDINARY ESCAPE.' OF A PRIMONER.—A boy,
sixteen years of age, named James Thomas, who was
charged at this court on Thursday moksuing with having
stolen 7s. from William Alan, an errand boy in the em-
ploy of Mr. Larkin, engraver, of No. 45, Clerkenwell-
green, was then committed to take his trial, and was
locked up in the gaoler's cell with seven or eight other
persons, preparatory to being conveyed! in the police van
to Newgate. On the arrival of the vau the officer whose
duty it was to deliver over the prisoners. to the sergeant
brought the prisoners from the cell, snxrie of whom were
deposited in the compartments of the rata but on finding
that there was one prisoner deficient, according to the
commitments, they discovered that James Thomas was
missing, and by some extraordinary means had made his
escape. The van usually drives into the spacious yard
at the back of the court and station-house to receive the
prisoners, and it is supposed that whilst the officers were
engaged in receiving the prisoners from the gaoler,
Thomas took advantage of the opportunity to crawl
under the van and from thence across the station-
house yard, through the back entrance into Bagnigge
wells-road. The prisoner was of very diminutive stature.
Low LIFE UP STAIRS.—A smart -looking young
woman, who gave her name Miss Mary Ann Butler, a
fancy milliner, was placed at the bar, charged by a bili-
ous-looking personage, who gave his name Mr. William
Lovejoy, of Fulwood's-rents, with having threatened to
tear his
his life.
Mr. Lovejoy, the colour of whose skin indicated the
nature of his pursuits, with a woeful countenance, said
that Miss Butler domiciled in the next apartment to
himself, in a garret, which aecommodated four families
in separate apartments. Sometimes Miss Butler was
very quiet, at others very noisy; and, what with one
garreteer and another, he Mr. (Indigo) Lovejoy could
never get any rest, and he was constantly annoyed. An
old man, who had formerly been a soldier, was in the
habit of cornier home late, and on Month!), night, when
he returned, witness interfered, when Miss Butler got
out of bed, came out of her room in her chemise and
stockings, without even her garters, sent out a volley of
abuse upon witness, calling him old " Indigo," and with
great violence of manner, swore that she would tear out
his -- liver, and send him to his forefathers.
Mr. I'vn-wntrr—And do you ready go in fear from
such a threat? Lovejoy (looking blue)—Go in fear,
your Worship?—to he sure I do. Didn't she kick at
my door, and say, " You old willain, I'll be the death of
you?" and while I lay trembling in my bed I thought
she would break the panels in.
Mr. TYRWHITT—Pray, at what hour was this? Love-
joy—At the midnight hour, your Worship—past twelve
o'clock. Lor,, you ought to have heard her, your Wei.-
ship.—(A. laugh.)
Mr. TYRWHITT—Have you got any witnesses? Love-
joy—None, your Worship.
Miss Butler—No, they are all on my side; I've got
the whole floor in my favour. I had my garters and
stockings on, and my shawl too. He struck the old sol-
dier, and bawled out that him and me were " drumm'd"
out of the regiment. He struck the old gentleman, and
I went out to take his part; and you know, old Lovejoy,
that you ran into your room, locked yourself in, and
abused me. She called the whole of the "floor," about
a dozen females and males, forming a "motley group,"
who all went in favour of Miss Butler, and against Mr.
Lovejoy.
Mr. Kearney, the old soldier, was her chief witness to
prove that Lovejoy was a most disagreeable neighbour,
and was the aggressor.
The warrant was dismissed, leaving Mr. Lovejoy to
pay the costs, and he left the court looking quite " blue."

DREADFUL ACCIDENT ON THE EASTERN COUNTIES
RAlLWAY.—Yesterday afternoon Mr. Baker held an in-
quest at the London Hospital, on view of tha body of
James Baker, aged 20, a labourer, employed on the
Eastern Counties Railway. It appeared from the evi-
dence that the deceased was engaged on the Woolwich
line. On the 6th of July, he and two other men left
their work to go to the Bell and Anchor for some beer.
On their return back, the deceased and his companions,
upon a ballast train starting, jumped on it. His corn-
panions,succeeded in holding by vie waggons, but de-
ceased missed his step, when be was dragged down by
the connecting rod of one of the ballast waggons, and
the wheels of one of them went over both his legs. He
was immediately taken to the above institution,
where both legs were found to be so frightfully
smashed, that amputation of them was immediately
performed by Mr. Adams and Mr. Nash. He died on
Tuesday last, from the effects of the injuries. William
Harvey, point turner, who witnessed the accident,
said that several men had been discharged fur having
jumped on a train while in motion. Verdict—" Acci-
dental death." It was stated by Mr. Nash, that the
present was the second case of double amputation from
the Eastern Counties Railway, and that the former suf-
ferer recovered, and that he was now walking about with i
two cork legs.
