WESTMINSTER.

(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)
Mr. LIISHINGTON said, from the anise and clamour
which had prevailed throughout the whole proceedings,
it vs ould be utterly impossible for him to answer any
statements made 13.,) those who opposed him. The High
Bailiff had expressed a wish that personal mention of
any candidate ought to be avoided, and therefore he
should only express his own sentiments for the in
formation of the electors. It was his firm con-
viction that the great majority of the electors
of Westminster were desirous of being represented
by staunch Reformers.—(Cheers.) The elections which
took place between 1807 Elul 1840 bore him out in this
impression. But it was only in 1846 that, after a short
interruption, they resumed their Reform principle, and
elected two Reformers to represent them.— (Cheers.)
He professed himself a staunch Radical Reformer. He
stood before them as the advocate of civil and religious
liberty.—(Cheers.) The principles which he wished to
see carried out were those which would secure to the
people equal rights, and which would enable them to ex-
ercise the rights of conscience wholly unfettered. W en
he was in Parliament, from 1835 to 1841, he supported
measures for the extension of the suffrage, and
for the abridgment of the duration of Parlia-
ment.—(Cheers.) He constantly voted for the in-
troduction of the ballot, and for the abolition of the
qualification for Members of Parliament. He had always
voted against church-rates, and when any measure of
a liberal character was discussed in Parliament he was
neverabsent. He, therefore, could give them better pledges
than those which consisted of mere words, because he
offered to them his Parliamentary career in the years to
which he had adverted, as a guarantee that his conduct
was not adopted -for the mere purpose of pro
curing a few votes.—(Loud cheers.) He reminded
them that when Mr. Duncombe brought forward his
strong.resolutions in respect to the unredressed grievances
of the people, he voted in a small minority with him.
—(Cheers.) He supported the Chartist petition., signed
by 2,000,000 of the—people; because, though he did not
agree in the whole of it, he considered that it deserved
the most serious and deliberate attention of the Legis-
lature. With respect to the union of Church and State
ho entertained very strong opinions, but he was not a
destructive.—(Applause.) He was of opinion that their
relations were neither beneficial to the State nor to the
Church, because they encumbered the State and weak-
ened the Church. No doubt in the next Parliament many
grave and important measures would come under con-
sideration; for instance, the extension of education
and the modification of the taxes, so that the
rich might pay more and the poor less.—(Cheers.)
The poor-law, in spiteof the modification it had received,
still pressed heavily on the people, and he should sup-
port any measure which proposed to effect the required
modification. If; however, the Legislature did not do
its duty, the people must do theirs.—(Cheers.) lago
whispered to Othello, " Beware, my lord, of jealousy ;"
and the people would be justified in calling in the ears
of Lord John Russell, " Beware, my Lord, of finality."
—(Laughter.) If it should please them to elect him as
their representative, it should be his earnest task to
fulfil the duties which would devolve upon him as their
representative. His health and all his strength and ener-
gies should be devoted to their service, and he should be
satisfied with the honour of representing, them without
seeking any employment. Objection had been made to
him on account of his age, but in regard to that objec-
tion he might say, that he should not have been so un-
principled as to ask for their suffrages if he had felt-that
he was incompetent to discharge satisfactorily the duties
which devolved on a Member of Parliament; but when
he was unable to do so he would cheerfully return the
trust they had reposed in him into their hands, and
whenever they should think proper to call upon him to
surrender that trust he would cheerfully act in,accord-
a.nce with their wishes.
WEY MO UTH.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF REVIEW, July 28.

EX PARTE ALSAGER, IN RE JOHN F. BROWN; AND EX
PARTE TURNER, IN RE SAME,

This was a petition by the assignees of Evans and Co.,
East India merchants, in the bankruptcy of Brown, a
merchant at Liverpool, and related to accounts on cer-
tain transactions with the house of Foster and Co., of
Bombay. This case was now brought before the Court
after a reference to the commissioner to take an account
as between the Liverpool and London firms. The com-
missioner found that the Liverpool firm was indebted to
the London house to the extent of 4.0001.

Messrs. Swanston and Metcalfe supported the petition,
which was opposed by Messrs. Russell and Wills. For
the petitioners it was urged that the commissioner was
in error—that instead of a relation of principal and
agent it was really one of debtor and creditor.
The CHIEF JUDGE held that the commissioner had
looked to the substance of the case and taken an accu-
rate view of it.

Mr. Russell then applied, on further directions, upon
the question of lien. •
The CHIEF Junes decided that whether treated as
lien, set-off, or mutual credit, the result was the same.
Ile should confirm the commissioner's certificate, and
declare the eleven bills mentioned to have been drawn
by Brown for the accommodation of Evans as a surety
for them, except to the extent of 1,0001. retained by
Brown; the assignees of Evans, Foster, and Co., to take
the Bombay remittance, deducting out of it the costs on
both sides.

EX PARTE THOMAS TURNER, IN RE LEWIS; RcBINSON

RESPONDENT.

This case related to an action by a solicitor, for pay-
ment of a bill of costs, which has been stayed, and a
question of retaxation.
After the reading of several very extraordinary affi-
davits, containing most contradictory statements, the
further hearing was stopped by the Court.
Messrs. Bacon and Freeling supported the petition;
Mr. Pryor appeared for the respondent.
The CHIEF JUDGE said, this case was too serious to
be decided on irreconcilable affidavits. It was disgrace-
ful and infamous on one side or the other, and involved
the reputation of a member of the legal profession. The
only question now was, whether the investigation should
be made orally before a jury or in this court, for it
would be a flagrant dereliction of duty to proceed fur•
ther on affidavits. 40/ to be brought into court without
prejudice, the bill of costs to be taxed, and the case to
stand over until further orders, with liberty to arrange a
mode of trying it, either at the current assizes or else-
where.
EX PARTE ROTHEREY IN RE ROTHEREY.

Yr. SNvANsToN applied on behalf of a bankrupt, now
lying in York gaol, under commitment by Mr. Commis-
sioner West, for not answering satisfactorily relative to
the disposal of his property. Since his firat commitment,
three years back, he had been again brought up and re-
committed. Renewed application had been made, but
the Commissioner refused to call a meeting and take the
examination, except at the bankrupt's expense. Being
in absolute destitution, he now appealed, in forma pau
penis, and asked to be brought up at the expense of the
estate.

Mr. K. PARKER (for Mr. Bagshaw) urged the want of
available assets to meet the expense.
The CHIEF JUDGE declined to interfere in such a state
of circumstances, but recommended an application to the
Lord Chancellor.
Petition dismissed.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—Derby, July 27.
CROWN COURT.—(Before Lord DENMAN.)
THE CHESTERFIELD MURDER.

Anthony Leunt, aged 26, was charged with having, on
December 8, 1845, at Chesterfield, feloniously received,
aided, and comforted one John Platts, in feloniously-,
wilfully, and of his malice aforethought, killing and
murdering one George Collis.

On being placed ai'the bar, the prisoner pleaded not
guilty with a firm voice.

- Arr. Mellor conducted the case for the prosecution,
and Mr. Miller th 3 for the defence.

Mr. MELLOR, in stating the case to the jury, alluded to
the principal facts adduced at the late trial against Platte
in order to prove that the murder was committed, that
the body was identified as that of Collis's, and to the va-
rious circumstances which !elated to the prisoner (Launt)
being supposed to be a party implicated in the transaction.
They were aware that at the last assizes Platts was tried
for the murder of Collis, and that he was convicted and
executed. The murder took place in December, 1845,
and the prisoner was charged with being an accessory
after the fact ; that is; after the murder was committed,
he (Launt) assisted and aided Platts in disposing of the
body in a way which they would hear described, and
which would make him guilty of an offence against the
law. It would be for the jury to say whether or not
they were of opinion that he was cognizant of the mur-
der. Collis was acquainted with Platts, and both of
them lived in the town of Chesterfield. On Sunday, the
7th of December, Collis and Platts had made an agree-
ment to meet a certain person. That was the last day
when Collis was seen, and it was supposed that he had
gone to Manchester. In the month of August (nine months
after this occurrence) some very unexpected circum-
stances led to the discovery of a body in a cesspool in
Mr. Bunting's yard. The remains were carted to a field
with the manure, and they were found to be those of a
human being. From the handkerchiefs, the garters,
and other things, the body was clearly identified to be
that of George Collis. Inquiries were made to ascer-
tain when Collis was last seen in Chesterfield, and it was
with some difficulty that any information could be ob.
tained on the subject, owing to the length of time which
had elapsed from Collis disappearing to when hie re-
mains were discovered. At length circumstances made
it clear that Platts was connected with the murder. The
Learned Counsel then proceeded to speak of the quar-
relling which was heard in Morley's shop, to the
scuffling that took place, and to the fact of two men hav-
ing been seen shortly afterwards leading a third, who
appeared to be drunk, into Plitt's shop, and which per-
son was beyond doubt Collis. Having described the
injuries which were inflicted upon the skull of the mur-
dered man, the Learned Counsel proceeded to advert to
that part of the evidence which more particularly related
to the prisoner. On Monday night, between ten and
eleven o'clock, three men were seen carrying a bundle
by witnesses who would be called before them. The
three men were Platts, the prisoner, and a third person,
who were described by the witnesses as carrying some-
thing in a large bundle which they, thought was bad
meat. They, were seen to carry it down a part of the
town, and were traced and watched till they took it into
Mr. Bunting's yard. No attention was paid to the cir-
cumstance at, the time, and it was not till after the in-
quest that the parties seeing it recalled it to mind.
Heathcote, who was examined at the late trial, said
that be saw three men carrying a bundle on a Monday
night in December. He recollected it from the fact that
it was his club night, and he identified Platts as
being one of the men. The trial caused a good deal
of excitement, and it was published in every news-
paper. A witness would be called before them that
day, wbo, having read Heathcote's evidence, and
afterwards hearing it contradicted, remarked, " Heath-
cote was right, fur I saw the three men myself. I-knew
them very well, and one of them was Anthony Launt."
He (the Learned Counsel) apprehended that the onl,)
question for the jury to determine was, whether they
were satisfied that the prisoner, in assisting to carry the
bundle, was aware that it contained the body of a man,
or whether hewas ignorant of the fact. If the jur)
entertained a doubt as to the pris,oner being connected
with murder, it , would be their duty to give him tht
benefit of that doubt ; but, on the other hand, if they
were of opinion that he was acquainted with what the
sack contained, that he was an accessory after the fact,
it would be their duty to return a verdict of guilty.
The evidence in this case was almost precisely similar
to that given at the last assizes, and fully reported in our
paper when Platts was convicted. The prisoner was
indicted as an accessory after the fact, two questions
being necessary to be decided against him before a con-
viction could take place. First, was he there at all?
Secondly, if he was, did he, know he was assisting to
carry a m rdered man?
The jury a: quitted the prisoner,

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.

Yesterday Jan Smith, the driver of a post-office
mail cart, and Thomas Goodge, the rider of a horse
express, were charged with assaulting Mr. Osborne, a
tradesman, residing in Somerset-place, Roston.
Mr. Osborne stated that he was driving a light chaise
along Wood-street towards the north, and had occa-
sion to pass a cart laden with long scaffold poles. The
defendant Smith was driving a mail cart in the same
direction as complainant was going, and was impatient
to pass him before they were sufficiently clear of the
scaffold poles. The defendant, in making the attempt,
came in collision with complainant's cart and horse, and
almost forced the latter into the shop windows. To
prevent this, complainant struck Smith's horse, which
the defendant resisted resented by striking him with his
whip. Goodge, who was riding with a letter bag
behind, who had no right to interfere- at all, cried out,
" Give it him, Jack ;" and when Smith had forced his
way through, Goodge came up behind complainant, and
began to belabour him with a short whip. Sevefal per-
sons who witnessed the affair interfered to prevent the
defendants from escaping. Two persons ran after the
cart, clinging to the back of it, and crying out for the
police till.the defendant Smith was stopped in London-
wall. - He struck at both these persons, and endeavoured
to escape. If- the defendant had waited half a minute
there would have been plenty of room, and he wished
these persons to understand that though they carried
the royal mails, they were not privileged to drive over
anybody, or clear the way without the least regard for
the Jives or limbs of her Majesty's subjects.
- Sir C. MARSHALL said, the reckless driving of the
mail-carts had often been a subject of just complaint.
All these drivers had a right to expect was, that no wan-
ton hindrance should be opposed to them. That they
were in haste would not justify them if they did any
mischief either to persons or property.
Three witnesses corroborated the complainant's state-
ment.

The defendant Smith said he did not cut at Mr. Os-
borne till he had received a blow from him. Complainant
might have pulled closer to the pavement, and then there
would have been room. That there was room was
proved by his actually passing. He cut at the persons
who clung to the back of his cart, because he did not
know what they wanted.
Goodge said, the gentleman struck him first.
Sir C. MARSHALL said their conduct appeared to have
been

W 0 RS HIP-S TR EE T. -
A well-dressed young woman, Elizabeth Bedloe, was
charged with Ottemptipg to destroy herself.

As a gentleman was passing over the Regent's Canal-
bridge, at Kingsland, at a quarter to one o'clock yester-
day morning, he saw a woman, who turned out to be
the prisoner, pacing rapidly backward and forward along
a secluded part of the towing path, and suspecting,
from the lateness of the hour, the nature of the spot,
and the evident tribulation she displayed, that she con-
templated an attempt upon her life, he hastened down
the bank to watch her ; but the instant before he got
to the path the prisoner uttered an exclamation of
despair, rushed to the brink, and was about to precipi-
tate herself into the deepest part of the water, when he
rushed forward and was fortunately just in time to stop
her. The prisoner declared that she was so wretch( d
she did not wish to live any longer, and struggled ►io-
lently to renew the attempt, but the gentleman called
loudly for the police, and on Dowling, a constable of
N division, coming up, he gave her into custody.
Upon being asked if she wished to give any reason for
such an act, the prisoner, who had all through main-
tained a perfect silence, became greatly agitated,
wavered, fainted, and was carried out' of court in the
arms of the officers ; but was restored after a consider-
able lapse of time and brought in again, when she
stated that all her friends and relatives resided in
Essex, and that having become accidentally acquainted
with a tobacconist in the Liackney-road, she was
induced by him,, under a promise of marriage, and the
positive assurance that be was a single Man, to live under
his protection fora shdrt time; until his affairs could be
arranged, but that, to her astonishment, she discovered
on the preceding evening that he was a married man,
and his wife having returned home from the country,
she was turned penniless into the street, when, having no
place to go to, and her feelings being wounded, she did
not care what became of her, and determined to put an
end to her existence. • •

Mr. COMBE said that it would be obviously unsafe to
trust the prisoner with her liberty in her present state
of despondency, and he would, therefore, for her own
protection, commit her td prison for'is week, where she
would be properly attended to; and in the meantime the
officer must write to her friends in the country, appris-
ing them of her situation, that they might either receive
her again or do something for her future maintenance.
The prisoner, who fainted again upon being placed
in the cells, at the close of "the Court wa3 removed
in the van.

William Brown• Chadwick, who was charged at this
Court, a few days .since, with feloniously inter-marrying
with a young woman named Harriet Anderson, his first
wife, Rebecca Chadwick, being then and still alive, was
brought up for final eitaninatidn, add police-constable
West, of the K division, having produced an attested copy
from the register of Hackney church, proving the pri-
soner's mairiage to his first wife on the 12th of Nov.,
1840, the solemnization- of which was aho proVed by
John Lucas, thd wife's brother, who likewise deposed to
the accused having constantly-subjected his sister to the
most shameful neglect .and ill-treatment, and then sold
off all the furniture and turned her out of her home.

Mr. John Rivers Fonntaine, parish clerk of St. Mary's,
Greenwich, was called, and having put in the register of
that church, containing an entry of the second marriage
to Anderson, on • the 16th of June, 1846, the prisoner,
who expressed his intention to.reserve his defence, was
fully committed to Newgate for trial.
WESTMINSTER.

Yesterday Joseph Sykes, a man about fifty years of
age, described as a copper-plate printer, was charged
with having attempted. to strangle his daughter, and with
other conduct of a most atrocious character. _ _

Catharine Sykes, a very genteel-looking girl, about
eighteen years of age, said that on the previous day she
paid a visit to her parents at No. 6; Lewisham-street,
Westminster. Between one and twoVelock in the after-
noon her father. came home intoxicated and lay down for
three orfour hours. On getting up he declared, with
horrid imprecations, that if her (witness's) mother or
brother, who were from home, came in, he would murder
them. He then commenced throwing the things about
the place, during which.time complainant sat motionless,
fearful that he woul I attack her; nor were her appre-
hensions in this respect groundless, for after having
broken a quantity of glass he seized a chair and was
about hurting it at her, when she rose from her seat and
took it out of his hands. He then declared in the most
violent language that .he would be.. the death of her,
grasped, her fereciousiy, by the throat and dragged her
across the room. At first she screamed for assistance,
but he ihen held her so'tightly that.she was unable any
longer to do so. She felt.that she could scarcely breathe,
and would have been strangled but that two persons,
who had been attracted by her screams, broke into the
apartment and 'released "her. • " '
Mr. BURRELL inquired what were-the general habits
of the defendant ? The daughter, whose throat bore
evidence of the extreme violence with which she had
been treated, with tears in her eyes, replied, " It was
hard for a child to speak against her parent;; when
sober her father was extremely irritable ; when drunk,
which she was sorry to say was of frequent occurrence,
exceedingly violent." .
The police constable who took the prisoner into cus-
tody said, he appeared to have been drinking, but evi-
dently knew very well what he was about.
Defendant, who appeared to have. much difficulty in
restraining himself, even before the magistrate, said, he
had been drinking on the previous afternoon, and he had
no doubt his daUghter must hive provoked him by pre-
venting his taking some glasses out to pawn., to procure
more liquor, which he- had a right to .do if he liked. A
good deal had been said about his habits, and he should
like to have his son called. •
Mr. BURRELL acceded to his request.

A respectable looking young mail, with evident reluc-
tance, stepped into the witness box. In answer to the
inquiries of Mr. Taylor, the chief clerk, he said, that his
father, who had been in the habit for years of drinking
very freely, was extremely violent, and frequently
ilt-
treated his mother. When sober he made use of the
most disgusting language in the presence of his young
children, and had been for years the terror of his family.
It was only a .few days since that he beat his wife se-
verely, .and repeatedly took up knives and threatened to
murder his family.
Mr. BIIRRELI. saidL--Tor: this atrocious assault upon
a defenceless young woman, and that woman your own
daughter, I shall convict you ,in the full penalty of 51.,
or two months! imprisonment.
Defendant—Then I shall go to prison.
Mr. BURRELL—And; in addition; I shall require you
to find good bail, yourself in• 1001., and two sureties of
501. each, for your good behaviour fur the next twelve
months.

Defendant—l shall not be able to get the bail, so I
must go to prison, and. they'll soon miss me.
The son and daughter said they would use their best
endeavours to support their mother and the rest of the
family.
- CLERKENWELL.

Yesterday John Rednsey was again placed at the bar,
charged with the wilful murder of Mr. Henry Williams.
It will be remembered that a person named Strick-
land, who is a. Crown prisoner in the Queen's Bench,
and Mr. Osborne, another prisoner in the same prison
for penalties to the Queen, were alluded to at the last
examination as being able to give evidence. Yesterday
morning, at nine o'clock, Mr. Arnold, and Mr. Monett,
the clerk, proceeded to the Queen's Bench prison for
the purpose of taking their depositions.
Henry Osborne deposed, that he is a prisoner in the
Queen's Bench prison for penalties to the Queen. in No-
vember, 1844, he kept. the Crooked Bidet public house,
Tower-hill. Knew the prisoner, and was intimately ac-
quainted with the deceased Mr. Williams. The prisoner
led deceased had visited his house on several occasions.
On the night of the 2d'of November, 1844, the deceased
was there to meet a partY of' gentlemen up stairs on
business. The.prisoner was. in the house down stairs.
flee prisoner left the house at twelve o'clock, or a few
minutes later. He was not sober, and they had great
trouble to get' him out of the house. The deceased
shortly after left with 'Mr. Strickland. They were very
much in liquor. It rained very hard, and they both had
an umbrella. Heard that deceased had met with an ac-
cident, and saw him on the following Monday, when he
was delirious. The prisoner asked him his opinion
whether the deceased was a fit man to undertake his
affairs ?
William Strickland was now introduced. He knew
the prisoner arid Williams (deceased). On the night
of the 2d of November, 1844, was with the prisener
and deceased at the Crooked Billet, Tower-hill. Deceased
came there to meet a party on business and to receive
some money. Remembered a message being brought to
deceased several times that he was wanted by dr. Ram-
say. He left the house with deceased at a little after 12
o'clock. They were both in liquor. No one else was
with them. Witness and deceased went into the Mi-
nories. The deceased called out to witness after he left
him, and he fell on the ground. Witness went to assist
him, and-he (deceased) said that some one had struck
him and run -away.. He put his hand to his eye or his
head. Witness called a coach, and they proceeded to
deceased's residence, 8, Constitution-row, Gray's Inn-
road, where his mistress lived. On their arrival de-
ceased's head was leaning on the cushion of the coach.
A policeman assisted the deceased out of the coach, and
when in the 'passage witness saw the deceased's face
was:covered with blood. He was unable to walk without
assistance. The deceased did not live with his wife.
Mrs. Barker, the' woman he was living with, bathed his '
eye. Witness remained with him until Bor 9 o'clock in
the morning. He examined his umbrella on the Monday
or Tuesday following, and. there was no blood upon it.
Took an umbrella home with him to Henry-street,
Commercial road East, where he then resided. Saw the
deceased on the Monday or Tuesday following. He did
not express any fear of dying. His head was shaved,
and cold applications were put to it. Witness was ex-
amined at the coroner's inquest.
Mr. ARNOLD here closed the examination and returned
to the court, Clerkenwell, and the prisoner was placed at
the bar.
Mr. Henry Williams, solicitor, of 'l4; Lincoln's-inn,
deposed that the deceased was his clerk prior to and at
the time of his death. He was no relation to him. Knew
the prisoner. He was his client when deceased died.
He here entered into a detail of affairs in the Bankruptcy
Court, which caused angry feelings on the part of the
prisoner. Saw the deceased after the accident. He was
perfectly sane.
Elizabeth Barker said, that when the deceased was
brought home in the coach, two umbrellas were brought
out of the coach. One was stained with blood. bliss
Roberts gave it to Mr. Strickland. Asked deceased who
had injured him, and he made a statement how it hap-
pened.
Miss Roberts deposed that two umbrellas were brought
from the coach. Mr. Strickland claimed one, which was
behind the door. Mr. Strickland took that umbrella
away. He left at six in the morning.

Mr. Henry Williams, solicitor, here said, he saw the
