sort you." He then advised the girl to go to Exeter and
afterwards to Exmouth, to take lodgings there, and call
herself a married woman, and he would come and see
her, and he gave her two sovereigns. The girl accord-
ingly mode an excuse to her father, and went to Exeter,
where she stayed some time, and then she went to Ex-
mouth. The defendant had promised to send her money,
but he did not do so. She wrote several letters to him,
but he sent her no answers. Being in a complete state
of destitution, she at length wrote to her mother and
apprised her of her situation, and was taken back
to Dartmouth, but not to her father's house.
Shortly after her return she went to the defendant, who
endeavoured to prevail upon her to swear the child to
some other person, and offered her 501. if she would do
so. The girl told him that if he would give her 501. no
one should ever know who was the father of the child,
but she could not place it upon any other person, as she
had never known any one else. The defendant said he
would rocure the best barrister he could to get him out
of it. The girl was delivered of a female child on the
10th of April last, at a neighbour's house.
A very long cross-examination took place with the ob-
, ,ject of showing her to be a person of immoral habits;
but she solemnly denied that she had been on terms of
improper intimacy with any other person.
Mr. CROWDER was addressing the jury on behalf of
the defendant, sating that he could contradict the girl in
in many of her statements, when be was interrupted by
Chief Justice WILDE, who said that the girl, by going
away, had put an end to the relationship of master and
servant. When she was brought back she was not re-
tained in her father's house, but placed in that of a
neighbour. She was not then able to have rendered her
father the same services as she had done before. By
mutual consent, therefore, the relationship of master and
servant had been dissolved, and he was of opinion that
the plaintiff must be nonsuited.
Plaintiff nonsuited.

The Crown Court hab been engaged during the greater
part of the day in trying cases which are unfit for publi-
cation, and Chief Justice Wilde was occupied in trying
causes of local interest only.

MIDLAND CIRCUIT.-IVottingkam, July 24.
CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Mr. Baron ROLFE and a Special
Jury.)
PICHERGELL AND WIFE V. BAGSHAW.

This was an issue directed to be tried by Vice-Chan-
cellor Bruce, as to the validity of a will made by a gen-
tleman of large property, named Draper. Originally the
case was to have been tried in _Lincolnshire, but the

venue was afterwards changed into Nottinghamshire.

Sir Fitzroy Kelly was brought down specially to support
the validity of the will, and Messrs. Whitehurst, Hum-
frey, and Mellor, to support the claims of Mrs. Picker-
gill. At nine o'clock yesterday morning Mr. Baron
Rolfe took his seat upon the bench, and the special jury,
with one exception, was full. It was understood that
various attempts had been made to settle the case, but
they were unavailing until they came into Court. After
one hour and twenty minutes' consultation in Court,
Mr. WurrEuuusT, Q.C., the counsel for the plaintiff,
upon rising to address the jury, said—" Gentlemen, I
have the honour to appear upon this occasion as counsel
•

for the plaintiff in this tction. It is an action brought
by my client, the daughter and only child of an extraor-
dinary and eccentric character. It is scarcely necessary
for me to state that the action is one of an important cna-
racter, as it is of public notoriety, and relates to the
validity of the will of the late Mr. Draper. It so hap-
pened that the lady whom I represent was in her infancs
estranged trom her family relations. The testator made
a marriage which turned out unfortunate. He became
disgusted with his wife ani child. He never acknow-
ledged his daughter, and upon his death he made a will
in which he left the whole of his property to his nieces,
to the exclusion of his daughter. After looking most
attentively at the evidence likely to be produced at this
trial I could not ask you to give a verdict against the
will of the late Mr. Draper. The testator appears to
have been a gentleman of great forethought, of great
business habits, and the will, except to the exclusion of
his daughter, is a very fair and good one. Under
these circumstances, I must say, the action having been
brought to determine the validity of this will, the oppo-

site party have evinced a liberality towards my client
which I consi ler commendable. Gentlemen, therefore
we consent to this will being established. It was drawn
by a gentleman for whom I entertain the highest re-
spect, and I cannot hope to ask your verdict to set aside
that will. Gentlemen, the arrangement made is con-
clusive. All sales of property which have been effected
since the death of the testator ate renoered inviolable;
there is to be no more litigation between any members
of the family, anti my client is to receive a certain pro-
portion of the property under the arrangement."
Sir F. KELLY—My Lord and Gentlemen, I have the
honour to appear as counsel for the defendants, and I
very much rejoice that you are relieved from any further
consideration of this important case. Gentlemen, my
Learned Friend, Mr. Whitehurst, has abandoned, with

great discretion, any attack upon the will of the late
Mr. Draper. He feels, if I were called upon to establish
the validity of that will, that I am possessed of such
overwhelming evidence that I should be enabled to estab-

lish it beyond even an approach to a doubt. My Friend
knows perfectly well that the testator, although of
eccentric habits, was a man of extraordinary sagacity,
and likewise a man of accomplished business habits.
tinder these circumstances, sympathising as we do with
the plaiotiff, we have agreed to the terms which my
Learned Friend has just alluded to. Gentlemen, one
word in favour of the two Misses Grinshaw, for whom
really I appear. In consequence of unfortunate circum-
stances connected with the family of the testator he dis •
inherited his only child. The Misses Grinshaw, the chil-
dren of his only sister, were left by that will the possessors
of his property, with the remainder to their children, and
various other remainders I need not mention. But these
young ladies possessing this property have always felt
most anxious that their cousin, the daughter of the late
Mr. Draper, should be well provided for. They have at
all times expressed a most earnest desire that a hand-
some provision should be made for her maintenance;
they have eforetime proposed to do so, and they are now
prepared, the validity of the will being established, to
carry out to the fullest extent their wishes with regard
to the plaintiff. Gentlemen, the proposition is, that Mrs.
Pickergill should be placed in an equal position with her
cousins. The ac:xiety of the Misses Grinshaw is that
they should not live and be maintained at the expense of
the only child of their uncle. And, gentlemen, I do
Igain most sincerely rejoice in the hope that this ar-
rangement will put an end to all those painful and dis-
tressing differences which have existed between the
parties, and that they will become one happy and united
Mr. Baron ROLFE—Gentlemen of the jury, your duty
is a very simple one ; you will, if you please, find a ver-
,iict for the plaintiff.
The jury found a verdict accordingly.
Sir Fitzroy Kelly immediately lett the Court for Lyme
Regis, in Dorsetshire.
(Before a Common Jury.)
BROWN V. SANDERS.

This was an actio❑ in which the plaintiff, a victualler,
residing at New Basford, sought to recover the sum of
601. for victuals, spirits, ale, cigars, and tobacco, fur-
nished to the irder of the defendant, an attorney of this
town, who pleaded the Tippling Act; and that he was
not indebted except for 21., which was paid into court.
['he plaintiff accepted the 21.. and joined issued on the
other points.
Counsel for the plaintiff, Messrs. Whitehurst, Q.C.,
and Mellor; fur the defendant, Messrs. Miller and
Macaulay.
Mr. WHITEHURST, in stating the case, said that the
plaintiff had, du ing the election in 1842, kept open
h ,use in the Conservative interest, and on the election

in 1843 the defendant applied to the plaintiff to keep
open house again. Plaintiff replied that he had lost
money by the party over the last election, and would
not supply any more ale or provisions unless Mr. San-
ders or some other individual would give personal se-
curity. Mr. Sanders, after some demur, consented, and
on Sunday, the 2d of April, gave an I 0 U for 301.
Chey agreed, however, to date the instrument on the
Ist, under the impression (which was of course all non
sense) that it would not be valid if given on Sunday;
and, at the request of Mr. Sanders, the plaintiff was to
keep no books of the transacdon, lest their car:didate
should be again unseated for treating. In defence, the
defy
ndant had first pleaded that he had not given the
order;

Sunday the 2d of April, I heard the plaintiff's house was
open. In consoquence of that I went there the same
evening, ar.d saw the defendant. He said something to
ute when I went in. I stayed there that night and had
some drink. There were many persons engaged in the
election also drinking there; amongst others Mr. San-
d- rs. On the following day I saw him there again. A
number of voters and runners were then drinking. I
said to him that we were not at all satisfied, and should
not promise our vote, until Mr. Brown had been made
secure. I said that Mr. Brown had not been paid for
the last election. He said we might be satisfied, as he
had given Mr. Brown an I 0 U for 30/. We continued
to go on drinking. I saw Mr. Sanders there every day,
and spoke to him once or twice. I have seen him
amongst the voters, and when I could catch one of the
upposite side we used to take him there, and endeavour
to persuade him that Conservatism was the best. I have

Brown knew that on the Sunda

round to the voters and get them to come. Mr.
was very active in collecting votes. I have never heard
him say that he had paid for " detectors." I don't know
what " detectiir" means.
Mr. MELLon.—Persons employed to go round and see
that there is no bribery in- the other camp. I don't mean
yours, you know.—(Laughter.)
Witness—l know now. I never heardlir. Brown say
that he had paid money- for that rurpae, and had not

been reimbursed. I can't tell how many Conservative
voters there were le Old Basford ; there were a good
many m:)re than eight or nine. I ran about a good deal,
but I was never paid for it. I have been engaged in
elections for 33 or 34 years. I think plaintiff ~btaiced a
license for his house, which is a very large one, in 1842,
just before the election. Some of the parties drank ale
and porter, and some chose brandy. The smallest num-
ber I saw there was five or six. The election took place
on the Thursday. On that day I breakfasted at my own
house. I don't know whether the ether people break-
fasted at Nottingham.
James Wesson, of Basford, framework•knitter—For
seven years I have been assistant waiter at Mr. Brown's.
I remember the election in 1843. I was there on Sun-
day the 2d of April. I did not see Mr Sanders on that
day ; but I did several times during the week. Last
Sunday Mr. Sanders told me he had dined at Air. John
Brown's on the Monday, and said, " I believe you did
too." I answered that I did not. I saw Mr. Sanders
talking to Mr. Brown about election business, as I sup-
posed ; he called me and told me to fetch a jug of cold
water.

The JUDGE—And is that the reason you supposed they
were talking upon election business ?—(Laughter.)
Witness—l fetched the water, and then he axed me
how I was?--(Laughter.) I said, "Very well," and
then he axed me how they were getting on up stairs? I
said there had been a bit of a demur about the election.
He axed me what about? and I said that Mr. Brown had
not been paid for the last, and the voters wished him to
be made all right for this. He then told me he had given
Mr. Brown an I 0 U for 301, and said we might go and
enjoy ourselves. I should think 501. or 601. not too
much for what was consumed. I took up a great deal—
ale, porter, cigars, tobacco, and the like. There was
meat and bread in every room, so that any one could get
a bit that liked. Mr. Sanders came to my house last
Sunday, and began to ask me about the election.
Mr. WHITERURST—And what did you tell him?
Witness—Not so much as he wanted me, for I thought
he was pumping me.—(Laughter.) I told him two or
three names. He told me he had been at Mr. Hannay's
and George Rawson's, but they would do nothing for
him. At last he said he had axed 'em for a counsel.—
(Loud laughter.) They said they would see about that.
I told him the best plan would be to try and make it up.
Mr. Hannay is a magistrate. I have seen Mr. Rawson
once, but I don't think I should know him again.
Cross-examined—l suppose Messrs. Hannay and Raw-
son belong to one party. Less was consumed at the first
election, because Mr. Brown had no I 0 U to go by, and
so he was more sparing.—(Laughter.)
Re•examined—l saw no one pay. I never saw no
money at all.—(Laughter.
Michael Brown, of Nottingham, attorney for the
plaintiff—ln the month of October last I applied to the
defendant for payment; he came to my office. I
showed him the I 0 U I hold in my hand, and asked
for payment of the account. I knew that he had been
actively engaged in the election, and I having been also
employed on the opposite side, we had a long conversa-
tion. I asked him how he had been so far wrong as
to enter into any engagement to pay at all? He then
told me he had been a great fool for his pains, and that
it would be a warning to him. He had been let into it
by the plaintiff's refusing to assist at the last election
until he had some security for the payment of his bill.
He went on to say that, at the election of 1842, the
plaintiff had had an account, and he believed that a Mr.
Carey had received the amount, but had never paid it
to the plaintiff. He added, that he had been sent once
by some parties at Nottingham, and he had thus got into
the dilemma; that the bill had not been sent in at the
proper time, and that the party would not now assist
him in paying it. I was anxious to have the matter
settled, and Mr. Rawson and Mr. Hannay being named
as the parties concerned, I asked him if he had seen
them? He said he had; and he requested me to see
Mr. Rawson. Accordingly I saw that gentleman on
the following day, and he told me that the whole
blame lay with Mr. Sanders, for not producing his bill
until the election matters were settled, as it he had done
so it would have been paid. I saw Mr. Sanders again
the same day, and told him the result of my interview,
He then fixed the following Tuesday as the time when
he would make some arrangement about the matter, in
the hope that the party would assist him. I saw Mr.
Sanders on the following Wednesday, and he told me
he had not been able to obtain anything from the party.
At last it was arranged that I should procure a writ
against him, in the hope th.i.t it would induce the party
to come forward and help him. I afterwards saw Mr.
Hannay, who gave a similar answer to Mr. Rawson._
The I 0 U was then put in and read.
Mr. MILLER made a long and ingenious defence.
Alter replying to Mr. Whitehurst's observations with
regard to Mr. Sanders, he argued that the I 0 U which
hau been put in only as evidence, and on which the
plaintiff did not seek to recover, had in fact nothing to
do with the present debt, but with one owing in con-
nexion with the election of 1842. The plea of the Tip-
pling Act was suggested by the plaintiff's bill of parti-
culars. Its items were-285 glasses of brandy and
water, 7/. 2s. 6d.; 156 glasses of ram, 4/. 35.; 302 glasses
of gin, 71. l ls.; 80 gallons of ale, 6/ 13s. 6d.; tobacco,
IL 2s. 2d.; refreshments, 318 d. And there was another
account,-260 gallons of ale, 201.; cigars and tobacco, 21
55.; refreshments, 71. 155.; total, 30/.; thus taking on' the
items for spirits, and doubling the others to make up the
difference. The plaintiff had ecdeavoured unjustly to
extort money from the defendant, and, there-
fore, he was perfectly justified in pleating the
statute. The Learned Counsel; in proof of his asser-
tion, read the following intimidating letter which had
been written by the plaintiff to the defendant :
" Vernon Arms, Basford, April 9, 1846.
" Sir.—The I 0 U you gave to me in April, 1843, I
1..13 cn infnrm ynn iw withdrawn from Mr. Patchett (a
Conservative solicitor), and unless the lull amount, 301.,
is paid me within 14 days from the date thereof, I
shall put it into the hands of Mr. Browne, the solicitor
for the opposite party to us, with strict instructions to
proceed against you immediately foi the recovery without
further notice.—l remain, Sir, yours respectfully,
"J. BROWN."

The Learned Counsel then called
Remus Crisp, agent, of Nottingham, who deposed that
on Sunday, April 2, 1843, he went over with Mr. Sanders
to the plaintiff's house at Basford, when the former
asked the latter if he would assist them at the election.
Brown said "He would be d—d if he would until he had
been settled with for the other." Mr. Sanders said he
would talk to him about it, and they left the room. In
about five minutes they returned, and Mr. Sanders said,
"Then it's all right. Brown, no.; you will help us, will
you?" Brown replied, " I will." Witness was inte-
rested in the election. There were no public-houses at
the election in. 1843; he did not know one.
Frederick Lees, of Nottingham, attorney—l was en-
gaged on the part of Mr. Walter, jun., in 1843. At the
latter end of May, or the beginning of June, the plaintiff
called on me, in company with Mr. Sanders, in order
that I might see various parties, with a view to the
liquidation of his account. I told him I would do so,
and requested him to let me know what he wanted.
He then made a statensent to me, which I saw was
put down in writing. It was to the ffect that Brown,
of. Old Bastord, said his bill and money paid out of
pocket amounted to 101. 10.; ditto, 1843, 61.; two detec •
tors fur the last election, 11. He also said that he had
paid to eight voters 151. After that I said, "Does that
comprise ail you want, or have you any other claims for
Old Basford?" He said there were two other accounts.
one from a man named Fawkes, of New Basford, and
another from a man named Reagate, the former being
tor 3/. and the latter for 71. Casting it up, I found the
plaintiff's bill to amount to 421. I then said, "Is that
all?" and he replied, " Well, I ought to have something
for my trouble and loss of time." I asked him if 51.
would satisfy him, and he said " Yes." The only items
I considered as belonging to the last election were the
61. and 1/. for the two detectors. There were no public-
houses at the election in 1843. It was part of the
arrangement that no refreshments should be allowed.
Luke Goodhead, framework-knitter, of Basford—l was
canvassed at the last election by Mr. Brown, the plaintiff.
Ile told me that there was nothing at all allowed; he
did it all on his own account. I did not go to his house.
I breakfasted at Nottingham. I was on Brown's side at
the election before.
Mr. WIIITEHURST, in reply, contended that Mr.
Miller's case had nothing to do with the one they were
trying.
The Learned JUDGE, after commenting upon the evi-
dence, left it to the jury to decide whether the I O U
was given as a security for expenses to be incurred, or as
an acknowledgment of the former debt. The case cer-
tainly had a suspicious look.
The jury *returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Da-
mages, 39/. 3s. 6d., being the whole amount, minus the
charge for spirits.
CROWN COURT.—(Before Lord DENMAN.)
James Lydiat, aged 17, pleaded Not Guilty to setting
fire to a stack of oats, at Shelton, the property of itobert
Hall, on the 10th of July. It appeared that on the day
in question a man went to the house of Elizabeth Gil•
bert, of Flawborough, about a mile from Shelton, and
asked for a few matches with which to light his pipe,and
gave her a brush (which he said he had found in the
road) in exchange for the matches. The prisoner was
seen in Flawborough about that time,
John Phillipson, farming bailiff to the prosecutor, de-
posed to seeing the prisoner in the village on the night
in question. The fire must have begun at the south-east
corner of the stack. The stack, which was worth about
1301., was all burnt.
Other witnesses deposed to his being in the village,
and one woman gave evidence as to what kind of bouts
he had on.
William Peacock, of Thoroton, met the prisoner about
10 o'clock, apparently coming from Sipthorpe. Witness
said he was going to see the fire, and prisoner asked
" Where?" and-passed on in a direction from the fire,
He afterwards saw the prisoner standing against the fire in
custody of Louis Bridger, a policeman, who.had met him
near the Four Lane Ends, and, asking him where he was
going, he replied to Grantham. The prisoner had then
directed his attention to the fire, which the prisoner
said he had before not seen, and that he had not been in
Shelton. Having heard that a tramp was suspected
he took him into custody, and on searching him he found
four matches in his pocket. Footmarks on the ground
near the stack corresponded with impressions from the
prisoner'ss,ac boots. The bootmarks were in a line with the
k.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty.
Sentence-15 years' transportation.
The assizes concluded at half-past three o'clock.

OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Stafford, July 24.
CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice ERLE.)
Edward Ingle, a respectable-looking man, of about 50
years of age, who was formerly postmaster of Bilston
in this county, was indicted for embezzling, on the 30th
of July, 1843, a valuable security for 2/. Os. 3d., the pro-
perty of the Postmaster-General.

Court) WAS not able-
to attend. in the Wisi

The facts of the case were these !—An Irishman
named Owen Coughlin, who had been for the last eight
years residing principally in Bilston, and working as a
journeyman shoemaker, was in the habit of sending
Mime 2/. a month to his wife, who lived in Kilrush. in
the county of Clare, by Post-office orders from Bilston.
All these went regularly except that which formed the
subject of this indictment. %-.)n the 30th July, 1845,
Coughlin went to the prisoner and got a Post- offic order,
as usual, for 21., took it home, wrote a letter to his wife,
folded it, enclosed the Post-office order in it, made it up,
and went to the Post-office and gave'it as usual, with Id.
for the postage, to the prisoner. The wife not receiv-
ing the letter or the order, Coughlin wrote three other
letters successively to' her, and, getting no answer, be-
came surprised ; he to,
wrote to her mother, which
letter also did not reach, and at last enclosed a letter to
his wife in another dir,•cted to a man named Mangan.
This reached her. Inquiry was set on toot, and' on
the 19th November she sent a memorial stating the
circumstances to the Vostroaster-General, who, hav-
ing asked an explanation from the prisoner, re-
ceived for answer that no such order was ever
obtained at his office. The prisoner about the same
time sent for Coughlin, told him that he was likely to
get into trouble on account of that Fost-office order, and
offered, if he would sign a paper stating that he had not
got the order at that office, to give him back his two
sovereigns and ss. 6d. for his expenses and trouble.
Coughlin agreed, signed the paper, took the money, and
write home to stop the investigation. But it was too
late. The Post-office authorities 'were bent on instituting
an inquiry, and accordingly a bill of indictment was
presented at the last summer assizes. As soon as it was
found, the prisoner, who remained in Stafford up to that
moment, fled, and was not found out until last week,
when, it being discovered that he was living in Hull
under the name of Holmes, he was taken into custody
by Colonel Hogg, the deputy-superintendent of the po-
lice of this county, to whom he stated that he had been
on the continent until his money was spent, and then he
came back to get his property together, and go off
again; and admitted that he had paid 2L and a tew shil-
lings to the shoemaker, and added that he would appeal
to the Postmaster-General for a tree pardon.
Mr. KETTLE having addresstd the jury on behalf of
the prisoner, and called witnesses, who gave him an ex-
cellent character,
Mr. WHATELEY replied for the prosecution.
His LORDSHIP summed up, and—the jury, after a
short consultation, having found the prisoner Guilty—
sentenced him to ten years' transportation.
Mr. Godson assisted to-day in trying prisoners.
(Before Mr. GODSON.)
John Love was indicted for the manslaughter of Noah
Hortgetts, on the 24th March last, at the parish of
Sedgely, by gross negligence, in leaving in one of the air-
holes of a mine a lighted candle, in consequence of which
an explosion of sulphurous gases took place, that killed
the deceased.

Mr. Greaves and Mr. Jackson appeared for the prose-
cution ; and Mr. Sergeant Allen for the defence.
It appeared that the prisoner, who was a mere working
man, was engaged.on the day in question for the, first
time in the mine. In the evening, before six o'clock,
the agent of the mine examined it with a safety-lamp,
and found the existence of sulphur, but permitted the
men to work on till the next morning. The prisoner
worked on till morning, and then left his work at the
hour at which he expected to be relieved, leaving a candle
burning. Some time afterwards the agent, with other
men who were on day-work, came down into the mule,
and proceeded as usual to buffet the sulphur ; that is, to
beat out the sulphur, so that it might escape through the
air-holes from the body of the mine, and in doing so,
being unaware that a lighted candle had been left in one
of the air-holes, forced the sulphur into contact with the
flame of the candle, whereupon an explosion took place
that killed seven men. It was charged against the pri-
soner that he was guilty of an omission of duty, in neg-
lecting to put out the candle before he left his work, in
pursuance of the rules of the mine.
Mr. Sergeant Allen, on the close of the case, objected
that there was no evidence of the existence of any such
rules, or of the prisoner being aware of them.
His LORDSHIP, coinciding in the view, directed an
Acquittal.

This was an action of, trover by the assignees of a

had belonged to the bankrupt, and had got into the pos
session of the defendant by fraudulent preference, as
the plaintiffs alleged, and by way of fair and bona fide
purchase, as the defendant contended. The case had
been tried at the Spring Assizes, 1846, when a verdict
passed for the defendant, which was afterwards set aside,
on the ground of being against the weight of evidence.
The case occupied the greater part of the day. Con-
tradictor}' evidence was offered on both sides.
At the close of the case for the defendant Mr. Ser-
geant Taltourd replied.
His LORDSHIP summed up, and
The jury, after being closetted for some hours, re-
turned a verdict for 321 10s., exactly half the plaintiff.'

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
Bo W-STREET.

The Rev. Ridley Bray, -a clergyman of the Established
Church, residing at No. 7, Manchester-street, Man-
chester-square, who gave the fictitious name of John
Smith, was placed at the bar, charged by constable
Phtlps, 108 A, within decently assaulting several women
in Parliament-street and• Whitehall.

The constable stated, that about eight o'clock in the
evening he raw the prisoner going up Parliament-street
towards Charing-cross, when he drove himself in a rude
manner against five women who were passing.
The prisoner said he never uttered a word to any per-
son, and, as none of the women hail come forward to
prefer any complaint, he considered that the officer was
over-zealous in his duty, interfering with him for what
had happened in the most accidental manner.

In answer to the Court, Inspector Stephens said that
the prisoner appeared perfectly sober when brought to
the station.

The constable said the prisoner certainly smelt of
liquor, but bad not taken enough to prevent him from
acting in a propr manner.
The prisoner admitted that he might have touched
some persons unintentionally, as he was walking very
fast. The witness then proceeded to state that the
prisoner might have easily passed without obstructing
any person, and in addition to the women alluded to, he
distinctly saw him place his hand on the back part of a
lady's person in a ino,,t indecent manner. Another was
obliged to push him from her, after trying to avoid him
afosrsaued
some
lt yards, and two others had their persons
in a very Indecent manner. When the prisoner
was near Charing-cross, witness saw him stretch out his
arms to embrace two women who were passing, and took
him into custody. He had been occasionally within
three yards of the prisoner, and wore his uniform, to
answer the call of any person who might require his
assistance.

Mr. HENRY said that a series of offences against
public tfccency had been clearly proved, although no one
had come forward to support the statement of the officer,
who, as he understood from the inspector, was a very
steady, well-conducted man, and it was not to be won-
dered at that women feltgreatreluctance to give evidence
on such occasions. _

Constable Dubbin, 146. A, proved having made in-
quiries at No. 7, Manchester-street, and learned that the
prisoner bad resided there six weeks; but nothing was
known of bim except that he was a clergyman.
Mr. Scott, who resides in Northumberland, and occa-
sionally at No. 1, Manchester-street, said he kfiew the
prisoner to have bele a curacy at Ersdon, near Shields,
and also one at Marsden,. in Kent, the last of which he
was d to vacate in consequence of the death of the
incumbent. He was at present unemployed, and no
person was more capable of conducting a parish, as all
who knew him could testify.

Mr. HENRY said that he could not beel ieetrhyseeorntehfoaartpept_hecaennieivneil-

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
Ann Barrett, a woman of bad character, was charged
on Saturday by Margaret Staples with having forcibly
torn a gold ring from her finger. and with also having
struck her a dreadful blow on the eye in order to enable
her to effect the robbery.
The complainant said she went into the Star and
Garter public-house, Poland street, on Friday, at the
solicitation of the prisoner and another Irishwoman, to
have something to drink. When she got into the house
the prisoner caught hold of her hand and tried to take
off her ring. She resisted, and a person who was in the
place told the prisoner to let her alone. The prisoner
attempted to pass off the action as a joke, and in a few
minutes afterwards she pushed her into the parlour and
shut the door. When in the room she received a violent
blow, which knocked her down, and she then felt that the
prisoner was tearing off her ring, Before she could give
a sufficient alarm the prisoner got off the ring and ran
out of the house. The prisoner was soon afterwards
taken into custody by a police-constable, with the ring
in her possession.

PROGRESS OF THE RAIL IN THE
UNI I Ell S l ATES.
AN EXPERIMENT WORTH TRYING AT lIOME.—The
circutestet.ce of the axles of engine's and carriages get-
ting red hoc from over-speed is an every-d 'y occurrence
at home. The heat generated in this way from the in-
creased rapidity of transit, very recently, it will be re
membered jeopardized the safety of a bishop on the
Great Western, while more than one exploit is speed,
on the London and North-Western has been spoilt
from the self-same cause. In America—and it
is well worth the attention of engineers and scientific
men here—during the last few months some ex-
periments on this subject have been made, the object
being to save to the companies the heavy expense of oil.
To the boxes of two of the wheels of one of the pas-
senger cars there is attached an appareaus. said to be
both cheap and simple, whereby the iron axles of those
wheels, and the brass boxes within which they revolve,
are kept continually wet with cold water—water only is
used to the axles instead of oil. Nu heat is generated,
and the water did not get warm. The patentee proposes,
with water and an anti-attrition composition, and which
is not to cost one-sixteenth part of the present expense,
to secure on any or every railway all the advantages of
as universally used.
One of the trips was short and pleasant, only 26 miles;
but the cars went at the rate of 20 to 30 miles an hour,
and at the several stopping places the axles were quite
cool and wet. The water was but little discoloured;
there was no perceptible attrition or friction. The ex-
pense of oil alone, on the Reading Rail, in 1846, was
38,819 dolls. for 45,672 gallons, besides some 2,000
dells. worth of grease and tallow, all used on the anxles
of the car wheels; and if 40,000 dolls. a year on one
road can be reduced to 3.000 dolls., a public benefit will
be effected to society, for the less it costs the companies
to propel their machinery, the cheaper will they carry
freight and passengers.
'1 he real point of importance appears to be the use
and application of an agent that costs little, instead of
oil at 80'. a gallon.
STRAWBERRIES AND MILK BY RAIL.—PLEASANT
POINT FOR AN EXCURSION.—The Erie Railway Com-
pany advertise excursions on their road as cheap, healthful,
and beautiful as can be found in this western world. Now
Rockland is full of strawberries, and Orange of milk and
flowers. The milk train of Tuesday night (22d instant)
took to New York 80,000 baskets of strawberries. These
baskets are intended to contain one pint each; but say
that three baskets contain one quart, which is quite within
bounds. Then we had 26,667 quart, or 833 bushels.
These strawberries will no doubt weigh sixty-five
pounds to the bushel, but say sixty, then we bad te enty-
five tons of strawberries alone. The boxes and baskets
weigh as much more, so that the freight was at least .50
tons. By the same train we had 28,000 quarts of milk,
which weigh (a pint a pound), 28 tons, and including
cans 35 tons, making a freight of 85 tons of strawberries
and milk, the milk by both our trains equals 50 tons
(50,000 quarts) daily, and including cans 63 tons. The
Rockland county people receive nearly 3,000 dolls. a day
for their strawberries."
The value of such an avenue of communication to
New York can scarcely be estimated. It gives them the
good things of the country in cheapness and abundance.
What are " our " agriculturists doing in this way with
" our " railways?
TRANSATLANTIC SPEED.—The Norwich steam-boat
train ran sixty-six miles in one hour and fifty-two
minutes, including three stoppages. This is nearly
forty miles an hour. The engine which performed this
feat is called the Colonel lie Witt. built by Rogers,
Ketchum, and Grosvenor, of Patterson, New Jersey,
and is said to be one of, if not the very fastest, machines
ever built in the United States.
BUFFALO AND MISSISSIPL—This iS the name of a
railway chartered by the Legislatures of Ohio and In-
diana, and which, when completed, will form a con-
necting link between Toledo, at the western extremity
of Lake Erie, and Chicago, on the south-western
point of Lake Michigan. The whole length of the road.
according to survey, will be 232 miles, and it will run
in nearly a straight course through the whole northern
tier of counties in Ohio and Indiana, across the neck of
the peninsula formed by Lakes Huron and Michigan. The
report of the engineer, Mr. G. R. Baldwin, who surveyed
the rout, stated that the whole cost of the road is esti-
mated at 5,215,000 dollars. The grades present no for-
midable obstacles. The road, whenever built, must do
an immense business. It would form a channel of com-
munication which would not fail to expedite travel and
business to and from the southern portions of lowa and
Wisconsin, Northern Illinois, Southern Michigan, and
the whole northern regions of Indiana and Ohio. The
immense quantities of bread stuffs seeking a market in
the Atlantic regions, and the tide of travel between the
east and west, would furnish an amount of business
whose value can hardly be exaggerated. Soon after the
Erie road shall have been completed to Dunkirk there
will be a continuous line of railroad from New York,
Boston, and "down East," to Chicago.
EXPLOSION IN A TELEGRAPH OFFICE. This is a
treat, or rather a terror, to come with us; the only thing
that at all approximates to it was that during the storm
last week on the North British, where the lightning
played a variety of pranks. such as pulling the wires
and ringing the alarums along the line. At Albany, on
the 15th of January, a severe storm passed directly
over the city. It was of -hurt duration, but the quan-
tity of rain which fell was very great. At about half-
past two o'clock a most violent explosion of electricity
took place in the telegraph-office, disabling the
relay magnets of both lines. The wires attached to the
relays and to the battery was melted off, and the entire
line to New York rendered for a time perfectly useless.
The Western line, as far as Rochester, was got into
operation during the evening; but nothing could be ob-
tained from New York. It was the most serious disaster
the line has sustained from atmospheric electricity since
it has been opened. At Troy, too, the wires were melted
from the battery and the relay magnates.
In a short time it is expected that the wires of the
telegraph will reach' Halifax, thereby bringing England
nearer to us by at least two days. So that le Phila-
delphians safely calculate upon obtaining foreign news
within ten days of the time of the steamer's leaving
England.
TRICKS UPON TELEGRAPHERS. —A Buffalo produce
dealer, who on Thursday last purchased 10,000 bushels
of wheat from the agent of a house in New York, con-
ditionally that no intelligence of the state of thr; Euro-
pean markets had been received per the Cambria, has
paid for the same, and instituted a suit against the
party who sold, on the ground of alleged fraud in the
transaction. This suit will be very likely to bring out
the facts in relation to the telegraph.
A great many amusing incidents have occurred in the
market during the past three months, and as no one
has seriously suffered, the trade have been disposed to
enjoy a laugh over the results. A joke is told of a
dealer, who never admits it possible for a neighbour to
be in advance of him. Some time ago, when a packet
with later news was announced at the telegraph office,
two of his friends conspired against him. One was to
invite him to a turn upon the Troy-road, while the
other was to remain for the development of the news.
If the intelligence was favourable, the parties were te
meet on the road and exchange signals, when the victim
was to be drawn into a sale. If unfavourable, it was to
be indicated, and a purchase was to be induced. The
news proved favourable, the signal was given, and a
bargain closed (while the pet nag was making his mile
inside of three minutes) for a thousand barrels of " Ge-
nesee," at the ruling prices of the morning. When the
victim reached his office, he found the telegraphic report
of an advance—smelt the rat—took an unusually large
quid of tobacco—and swore perpetual vengeance against
Last nags, and drivers on the Troy. road during business
hours. He has not been bit since.

EXTENSION OF THE TELEGRAPH.—Upwards of sixty
miles of the posts are now erected between New York
and Mobile. The whole distance by the route of this
line will be about 150 miles. The posts will be com-
pleted from Petersburgh to Augusta by 15th July,
except a small section of about forty miles beyond
Cheraw. The line will be in full operation as far south as
Charleston, and from hence to Mobile by the Ist of
October. The line, so far as practicable, is brought
along the railroads, all the companies of which have
acted in the most liberal manner, giving not only the
tight of way, but also engaging to superintend the con-
dition of the posts and wires.
Dram)Esins.—The Tonnewanda railroad company has
declared a dividend of five per cent. upon its capital, pay-
able on the Ist 01 July.
The New York and New Haven road have given notice
that interest at the rate of six per cent. per annum will
be paid to the stockholders on the Ist of July next.
On the Buffalo and Niagara Falls road, a semi-annual
dividend of tour per cent. has been declared, payable on
the Ist of July, at the batik of the State of New York.
Heavier rails are being laid on the Auburn and Syra
cuse to meet the heavy traffic.
ACCIDENTS.—A few of these casualties are quite of
a class with our own, and in some instances turn out as
terrible.
The freight train on the Camden and Amboy rail from
Philadelphia to New York ran off the track last month
with a terrible crash, destroying two cars, killing three
immigrant passengers on the spot, and very badly wound-
ing two or three others. The remains of the three killed
were decently interred at Amboy, on Saturday.
As the express line of cars from Harrisburg was ap-
proaching Elisabeth Town, William Michiel, fireman, in
attempting to recover his hat, was thrown from the plat-
form of the engine, and coming in contact with a car
standing on the other track, was thrown under the wheels
and terribly mutilated, his right arm being crushed from
the shoulder joint and broken below the elbow, the flesh
being torn off exposed the tendrons, and his head cut
about the ears. The train was immediately stopped, and
every assistance was rendered by the passengers and
agents. His wounds were dressed, and he was made as
comfortable as possible.
An accident of a painful character took place upon
the Providence Railroad this morning. As the steam
boat train was starting from Mansfield, a gentleman from
Elizabethtown, N.J., named Jacob D. Edwards, who
was in the act of getting into the cars, missed his foot-
ing and fell, and the wheels of the cars passed over his
right arm, crushing it at the elbow in a dreadful manner.
The arm was amputed near the shoulder. Previous to
the operation ether was administered to Mr. Edwards,
which rendered him insensible to the pain of the opera-
tion. He is about 40 years of age, and is said to be in
feeble health.
Our correspondent at Machias, Me., writes us that or
Thursday, the 19th instant, as the last train of cars of
the. Machias Port and Whitneyville Railroad was leav-
ing Machias Port, a man named Gilman, a native of
Canaca, in attempting to get on to one of the cars, was
thrown across the track, so that several cars passing
over his breast killed him instantly. He has left a
wife and children at Whitneyville where he has resided
of late.
An Irishman was killed on the Hartford and New
Haven Railroad. He was riding on the top of one of
the freight cars, and was slept off while passing under
a bridge near Hartford, the violence of the shock de-
priving him instantly of re..
