Were not tlaise frequent and significant instances of what was
now going on in Ireland? And did they not show that the
good of Ireland was to be found, not in those hollow-hearted
coalitions and interested coreederations, but in the good sense
of the English and Scotch people on this side of the Channel?
He felt every hour the pressure from without with regard to
the condition of that country; He fottnd that froth every red
of the country they *ete anted how it was that a representa-
tive assembly like that—representing the working millions of
this great country—threw their shield over those who deserted
the duties of their situation, and abandoned the unfortunate
beings who had an undeniable cleim on, theie neoleritioii ased
support.—( Kea% beer.) The Right Hon. Gentleman, the
Member for the University of Dublin. had been casting bout
for the motives which influenced him (Air. Roebuck) in ex-
posing the criminal delinquency of the landlords of Ireland,
and set his conduct down to popularity hunting. He would
not stop to notice these imputations. He did not deny
! , ,
enat ne sought his country's approbation, and he thought he
would take the most successful steps to obtain it. by imposing a
stringent pooralaet on Iselalid, that would make the 1 Jellords
of tool country understand their own interest, and discharge
their duties to-their destitute poor.—( Hear, hear.) He would
ask the Hon. Gentleman ( the Recorder for Dublin) to meet
any portion of his countrymen, and he (Mr. Roebuck) would
meet any portion of h:s on this subject, and he had no hesita-
tion in saying that net a man in any town of England would
be fatted who would dare to oppose such a proposition.—( Hear,
hear.) And yet one half of it only had been sought to be
sanctioned by that House; a partial application of it was
merely proposed, at present ; but as sure as the sun
would rise to-morrow—and he had no doubt of that—
( Laughter) a long time would not elapse before
that measure would be carried out in all its entirety—a mea-
sure which was a great act of justice due to the Irish people—
due to them from England which had too long neglected and
suffered their just rights to be withheld, and had too long
fostered the pernicious system which had tended to demoralise
them, and generate those social and moral evils to which Ire-
land was now a prey.—( Hear, hear.) And as he eel hope
that the real benefit which he anticipated from this measure
would be worked out for the country, he would support the
proposition of the Noble Lord, and it should be his future
object to show how inadequate for the relief of the present
evils of Ireland was that proposition, which he would now most
cordially support.—( Cheers. )
Colonel VERNER disapproved of the measure.: It proposed
to be a Bill for the relief of the Irish, but he believed it would
create greater. far greater evils than it purported to remove.
Mr. 'AI. J. O'CONNELL said be was anxious to offer a few
observations in reply to the statements of many Hon. Members
who had addressed the House, as he understood it was not the
wish of the House that the debate should be adjourned.—
(Ctles of " Hear, hear.") What he complained of
Was, no that litleobrable Gentlemen in this country
sapeteled this poor-law for Ireland and sought the
approbation of their contitrymen in doing so, but that in the
discharge of that duty they were in the habit of introducing
topics—and the system was very prevalent amongst the party
of which the Hon. and Learned Gentleman for Bath was a
member—for the sole purpose of aspersing Irish lanolords.—
( Hear, hear.) That was all he complait ed of, as he had, after
the most mature deliberation. come to the conclusion that the
measure was one which it was his duty to support. But the
Hon. and Learned Gentleman had been guilty of much in-
justice. First, he had spoken harshly of the conduct of the
Hon. and Learned Gentleman the Recorder of Dublin (Mr.
Shaw). He (Mr. M. J. O'Connell) had, during the greater
period of his life, opposed the principles of the Hon. and
Learned Gentleman, but for nothing did he respect him so much
as for his conduct on the Irish questions. which had come under
the consideration of the House during the present session. He
respected him because he believed he had acted conscientiously,
od because he considered he was promoting the advantage of

him, he alike censured them ; in feet, he was an apt illustration
I of the drummer, who. finding the soldier whom he was punish-
ing did not relish its infliction exclaimed, " Strike high or low,
nothing will please you." Though a men differed with him in
opinion, he should not use harsh terms towards him. Then he
attacked the lion. Member for Limerick for the observations
he made, that he and others intended to vote against certain
portions of the measure, which was most unjust, when
it was borne in mind that both the Honourable
Member for Limerick ( Mr. S. O'Brien) and be, in-
tended to vafe in favour of the out-door clauses. The
question of rating divided itself into three bra aches—rating
upon unions, upon electoral divisions, and upon smaller portions
of property. lie had heard many statements during the course
of the debate, but he confessed he had heard nothing which de-
served the definition of argument. He was in favour of the
tenth clause, which propesad union rating, and when the pro-
per time vrived, he should be ready to state his reasons for
doing so; but if Hon. Gentlemen could show him that rating
I smaller districts would benefit good landlords. and not lead to
i the confiscation of property, he should not hesitate to alter his
opinion. Many Hon. Members, in speaking on out-door, reli .f,
had made most extraordinary statements. There were two
' provisions in the Bill —one for out-door relief to the helpless
poor, and, second, for affording the same relief to the able •
bodied, which was opposed by many Hon. Gentlemen; but
if either clause was to he viewed with apprehension—it was
the first —as there was considerable danger of its adding mate-
rially to the heats?, burdens already imposed on land, and of
i opening a door of immorality and fraud. The Irish party who
had been styled the " happy family," had come to the concha-
; sion to oppose the clause which proposed to afford out-door
relief, for which he could not help exp essitig his regret. It was
clear the calamity which had visited Ireland, would not pass soon
away, and tin refore it was their duty to give a greater amount
of aid to the poor than they had heretofore given. It was cheaper
to pay rates than to allow a continuance of the existing distress.
' To restrict it as much as possible to those who are bedridden,
i helpless, aril maimed from other causes. On the first clause
he had this objection. Such he aught say of the second clause;
but he was glad to say that there was a much better spirit than
had of late prevailed. It might be all very well for the Hon.
Member for Bath to say that they only agreed when there was
something to be got, but he was happy to say that on the pre-
sent occasion the agreement was for something to be gotten for
Ireland, and he thought it was something worse than charity to
raise up the questions of .sectarian differences and allege against
them those differences. He regretted that such a proposition
had ever been made , but if he talked of them, he would look
i to the propositions of that Hon. Member with regard to India.
1/2 With great reseect for his talents, he still could not help feel-
, log that if the same principle had been adopted with regard to
Ireland, that he would come to a very different conclusion.
Mr. CALLAGHAN would not enter into the several
euestions which had been in' roduced to the House ou the one
before the House. He would simply confine him elf to the
matter stated by the Noble Lord with respect to the relief to
be granted to the able •hodied poor outside of the house ; and
with regard to that he was desirous only of expressing his opi-
-1 nion as to the power to be given by the House to the Magis-
trates for granting that relief. In his opinion that power was
excessive; and he deeply regretted that any such power had
been conceded. For his own part, he cou d not hut conceive
that such power would be mischievous in the extreme, and
likely to do anything than be of service to the Irish people.
He would take the liberty of saying to tne Noble Lord at the
head of the Government that he (the Nob'e Lord) hail not
given any one reason why he should increase the ex-officio
guardians. It might be very true to say that electoral divisions
ought to be taxed, but the truth was, that these divisions sent
into the towns the great bulk of their paupers. It was the
great object in Ireland to send away their paupers. The No-
ble Lord, to provide for this, said, that when the rate exceeded
Is. 3d. in the pound, the excess should be chargeable upon the
general union. The Noble Lord ought to knew that
the rate could never reach that height unless upon
the occasion of a general famine like the present
lie thought that the rates for the poor ought to conic as a
general charge on the country, and then the rate-payers would
have a better control over the rasing and expending of the
money. He adjured the Noble Lord not to listen to the voice
of one party or the other, and not to gi:e to any but the rate-
, payers the power of taxing for the relief of the poor.
Sir A. BROOKE wished to give his reasons for not giving
his assent to the measure proposed by the Noble Lord. lie
thought that the systematic plan of having 80J,000 or 900,00 U
people maintained out of doors by public works was one
most dangerous and fatal to the interest, and cnaracter
of the Irish people. He did not see any rtcurity that the
pone woule derive, by their main enance from the Irish property
generally He would, it the Noble Lord c.iu•d satisfy turn on
these two points, he ve-y much disposed to support the measure
before the Houi,e, out otherwise tie should feel justifieit in cp.
posing it. lie considered the present time was not the proper
time for such attacks as those made by the Hon. and Learned
Member for Bath. whose speeches contrasted most unfavour-
ably with the calm and temperate address of the Right Hon.
Gentleman the Secretary for Ireland, and the Noble Lord at
the head of the Government, in his statement of Friday
night last.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL begged leave to explain a point
which had been omitted in his statement of Friday night last,
and to which his attention had been drawn by, a note he had
received from Lord Monteagle. In the interview he had had
with the deputasion of Irish gentlemen when the subject of
the relief of the poor was brought under his (Lord John
Russell's) attention, they statsd that they were wiliing to bear
any expense that might be required for the extension and
erection of workhouse ac,:ommodation, so as to admit or in-
door relief to the pour. His answer at the time was, that he
did not think the suggestion capable of being practically
eacried into effect.—( Hear. )
••--The House then went into Committee pro forma, and ob-
tained leave to sit again on Friday next.

On the motion that tt is Bill be committed,
Mr. STRUTT suggested its postponement.
Mr. CRAY EN BERKELEY hoped they would not go
into Committee to-night, as he had a tw,st decided objection
to certain portions of the Bill, which he intended strenuously
to oppose,
Lord GEORGE BENTINCK said that the Ali *a§ On
which created the greatest possible alarm in the cditntry. and he
trusted that the Hon. Gentleman eiseld give a little more time
for its consideration, The nature of the Bill was one of a very
objectionable nature, and the country would require time to in-
vestigate it.
Mr. E. DENISON said that a petition had beets got up by
persons who had never seen the Bill, in order to defeat it.
There was nothing in the Bill at all calculated to excite alarta
or annoyance.
After a few words from Mr. AcKLawo and Mr. STAFFORD
O'BRIEN in support of the nsesture,
Sir J. YA RDE BULLER hoped that the Hon. Gentleman.
would consent to put off the Bill to a later day than Friday, in
o►der to give a better opportunitt for the reading of the 1301.
It was impossible to give it a fair reading and investigatien be+
tween that time. and Friday.
PUSEY said that in order to meet the wishes of Hon.
Members, he would postpone the Bill until Friday week.
The second reading of the Poor Relief Supervision (Ire-
land) Rill was then postponed until Friday next,
The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the
House adjourned at One o'clock.

ROWLAND HILL, THE PENNY-

POST REFORMER.

And is there to he no statue to You, Rowland Hill ? Do
marble and bronze on every hand anticipate, with impa-
tient honour, the rewards of posterity for a hero, who,
through the sinews of a hundred thousand warriors, and,
with the aid of captainship, hardly inferior to his own, on
every side of him, has won a host of fields ; and is there no
mould or chisel for you? You who have filled up the perni-
cious gulph, which poverty and distance interpose between
man, and the best eherisher of his affections and virtues—his
home! Poor artisans! by whose fast wasting And dispro-
portiouably rewarded vigour, the manufacturer grows fat
and sleek -enlarges his little lawn into a domain of miles,
and his country-box into a palace—heed not, now, though
you should be obliged to send your children from you—tar
--far—to seek for better fortune at less toil! Without
stinting a meal, you can talk to them when you please;
learn how it fares with them ; couesel them, encourage them ;
comfort them when they need its keep them still upon their
guard—beset if they should be with knavery or lust—almost
as though they were still within the range of the paternal
eye! Abstracted from the millions of the land, what a sorry
remainder would you leave! What were the hind without
you? If you are the base of the -ociety, bow broad is that
base! of what moment that it should be s,auldl—Rowland
Hill has found out the secret for rendering it so, and for pre-
serving it so.
The Revenue! Pounds, shillings, and pence? Dross!
Set a sum upon the domestic tie!
And there is no monument for you, Rowland Hill? They
wished you a kind good morning at the General Post office!
—Justice !—but it was politely done. There is nothing for
you, or next to nothing—a mighty spirit of gratitude!—a
sprinkle of a few thousands of pounds ! when the tithe of a
million might have been raised for you, in mere penny beads,
and not the pocket of a contributing errand-boy perceptibly
the lighter! But there was nothing flashy, Rowland Hill,
about your achievement! It cost neither treasure, nor blood
and sweat! It was announced by no brawling of gazettes!
—it was celebrated by no public rejoicings—the blustering
of cannon, fireworks, illuminations. It shook not the world
with the struggles of its mighty birth !—though for ages it
will do what it has already done—worlds of good! It came
upon us as softly as a sheet of French letter-paper falls to
the ground. not making any noise at all !
Never, dear Rowland Hill—we use the epithet in hearty
earnest—never was public testimonial botched and bungled,
so lamentably, as yours! Thoughtlessness, apatly and stu-
pidity, must have foisted themselves upon your friends, as
the promoters of it. There ought to have been arranged a
simultaneous demonstration of thanks to you, in every city,
town, village and hamlet throughout the United Kingdom!
If we have heard aright the compliment cost something
short of twenty thousand. Why, Landon alone might have
paid the shot, for the rest of the empire, without doing any-
thing to wag its head for, after all ! But, Rowland Hill, we
fear you want the knack. You may have the talent, the be-
nevolence, the patriotism to plan and suggest a benefit—per-
haps one of the most important that a country ever received
from the services of a single man ; but, we suspect, you lack
the cunning, to know, that patriotism, benevolence, and
talent., nlust, either directly or indirectly, bestir themselves
—and thoroughly too, to secure their due reward—or be con-
tent to go without it. The debts, that are due to them are
seldom, if ever, discharged spontaneously.— Sheridan Know es'

be lawful for her Majesty to direct that the said enrolled
pensioners, or such of them as her Majesty shall think tit,
may be sent in aid of the defence of the realm, to any part
of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland where
their services may be required.

GERMAN RAILWAYS.—RaiIway communication is
proceeding rapidly in Germany. Next year the line will he
complete between Cologne and the extreme frontier of the
East, North. and South of the Germanic Confederation.
Vienna, Breslaw, Berlin, and llamburgh are now connected
together by a continuous railway. The Augsburg Gazette
inti,rms us that a meeting has just taken place between the
directors of the different railway companies possessing this
vast range of lines. Between Vienna and Stettin there is a
distance of 225 French leagues, and between Vienna
and Hamburgh 250 leagues. This is the greatest
extent that a railway line has yet run. The various
directors have agreed on an arrangement of de-
partures in correspondence with each other, so that the dis-
tance between Vienna and Hamburg may be cleared in forty•
eight hour=, comprising stoppages, and between Vienna and
Stettin f !Hy hours. The trait leaves Vienna at seven in
the evening, and arrives at Breslaw the next day about
noon, and leaves Breslaw at four o'cloCk, and arrives at
Berlin at five in the morning; it leaves again at sn'en for
Harnhurg and Stettin. The back train leaves Hamburg at
one in the afternoon, and Stettin at four; it reaches Berlin
at nine at night, leaves again at eleven, arrives at Breslaw
next day at eleven, and at Vienna the second day at seven
in the morning. Tne works on the southern line--froth
Vienna to Trieste—are proceeding rapidiy. When this line
is finished, travellers may book thetn,elves from Hamburg to
Trieste.

up before Mr. Rushton, and committed for trial on the charge
of having robbed a man named Smeatham, whilst in a state

latter was on duty, and the prisoner, instead of p-otecting,
robbed the prosecutor. The evidence being deemed s ~,clus-

SCHAMYL, THE CIRCASSIAN
CHIEF.

We extract the following account of Schamyl, the chief of
the Circassians, from a letter dated Constantinople, 17th ult.,
in the Univers:—
"It is said that the power of Schamyl Bey is on the in-
crease. Circassia, in place of ceasing the unequal struggle in
which she has been engaged for so many years, appears, on
the contrary, to find new resources in the courage and the
alliance of the surrounding tribes. The Caucasus has be-
come the refuge and the rampart of all the mountaineers who
defend their ancient liberties ; and such is the general cce- ti-
dence In the future, that this military ieader is already con-
sidered as the founder of a monarchy around which the popu-
lations of Georgia, Armenia. and Daghestan are to be grouped.
Russia has no longer to put down a partial revolt. The
point for her is now to hold firmly against a rising and
creating power, which opposes numerous and strong
nationalities to her own. Tlge vague reports collected
relative to Schamyl represent him as an able and fortunate
w‘.rg ior, surroueded with_ a court, and possessing a warlike
army, itsciplined by Polish refugees in the European
mariner. Oa Fridays, public prayers are offered up for his
safety—a Mussultnan ceremony to honour of Royalty.
Money is struck with. his mark. We do not say his
effigy, for the poverty of the country does not permir
the use of metal for money. but only of leather, which,

THE BUSH PEOPLE FROM
SOUTHERN AFRICA.

These living types of a race, perhaps one of the lowest in the
scale of humanity, and now becoming rapidly extinct, offer a
subject of the greatest interest, alike to the man of science,
the student in human physiology, and the curious, as being
the first living specimens of this singular variety of the great
human family—the Ishmaels of the African continent,
who have ever been induced to visit the abodes of civilised
man, and for descriptions of whom, we have hitherto been
entirely dependent up ,n the testimony of the few travellers
who have visited their desolate and far-off region. To the
student in phrenology, these Bush people offer an especially
interesting study, as affording strong corroborative evidence in
sueport of the now almost universally-admitted truths of that
science. The heads of this singular group, and a skull
of one of their fellews, in the possession of the gentle-
man who has brought them to this country, exhibit
almost as striking an absence of the intellectual and
higher faculties as is observable in the skull of that
mockery of humanity, the baboon; while the preponder-
ance of the animal is almost equally great. There is, how-
ever, a marked superiority of phrenological development
in the mother of the child born on their passage to this
country, over any of her companions, and she exhibits a
much greater degree of intelligence than either; while we
learn from their guardian that she is a most excellent
mother, kind and affectionate in her disposition, and exceed-
ingly docile; the others, on the contrary, being very self-
willed and difficult to manage. The kindness, however, with
which they have been treated since their arrival does not
by any means appear to have been thrown away, as they
seem perfectly happy and contented, and on the receipt of
an orange or other trifle, exhibit the liveliest emotions of
gratitude, by kissing the hand of the donor, and manifest ii,g
other unequivocal signs of pleasure. They were fairly in-
toxicated with delight on the two females being presented
with a necklace each, by one of the company present, com-
posed of round metal buttons, and a smaller one for the
child—the females exhibiting all that passionate love of
adornment which seems inherent in the breast of every
dauehter of Eve, whether civilized or savage; and the males
scarcely less so, in the speechless admiration with which,
so decked, they appeired to regard their spouses. We may
mention that they are natives of the country bortierita.:.
the great Orange River, in the interior of Africa, 1,200
to 1,400 miles from Cape Town ; and their supposed ages
vary between thirty and fifty, the mother of the child beii,e
the oldest of the group. They have picked up a few word-
of English and Dutch ; but their intercourse with theh
guardian is chiefly carried on by pantomimic signs. Their
own language appears to be singularly barren, exceed.
ingly harsh and unpleasant to the ear, and used with
much gesticulation. Its most remarkable feature is, that
mingled with the articulate tones, and the gutturals and
nasals, are some inarticulate clicks or clucks, produced by
the tongue being struck against different parts of the mouth,
so as to produce an audible sound not easily described 0:
paper, but varying in depth with the part of the mouth
from which the tongue is struck. The stature of these
people is another peculiarity; the two couples are consldereo
as of two quite different tribes, though both speak the same
language; but their is a striking difference in their stature.
The larger couple are about. five feet three inches in height ;
the smaller not more than four feet, and these suggest the
ideas of the " pigmies" of the ancients. The grange mix-
ture of the Mongolian, Malay, and Negro in their charac-
teristic form and features is very striking; and while they
seem but little elevated in the chain of being above the ba-
boon and the chimpanzee, we learn that the tall and athletic
Kafir flies from one of these diminutive creatures with the
greatest terror—for their want of physical strength is com
pensated by their skill in the use of poisoned arr.ws, a wound
from one of which is almost always mortal. These creatures
are continually smoltng the wild hemp of' their country-4
plant from which they also obtain the poisonous juice in
which they dip their arrows. They go through a sort o;
performance; all four dancing one of their national dances,
which somewh.it resembles those of the North Americab
Indians, especially in its being conducted and regulated by s
double stroke of the hand, as a substitute for a tom-tom or
dram. The two men display their mode of stealing on their
foes, and certainly it must be no pleasant thing to see a man
stealthily prowling in your neighbourhoood with a poisoned
arrow fitted to the string—waiting only till you give him ay
opportunity of stealing upon you unperceived, to send the
death-shaft on its flight. As a variety of the race of mat
never before Seen in England, we recommend a visit to the-i
1 Bush people. •

Stitettm or A POLISH NOBLEMAN.— On Saturday
an itiqifigi adlehltried from Thursday last, was resumed
and concluded before C, C. Lewis, Esq., coroner for Essex,
at the Crooked Billet public- house, Woodford, on the body
of Mr. Herman Poznanski, aged 37, a native of Poland, and
d nobleman of that country, who committed suicide by
shooting himself through the head, under the following cir-
cumstances:—lt appeared from the evidence of the father of
the deceased and other witnesses, that for some time past the
deceased had been in a low and desponding state of mild,
caused by being reduced from affluence to the most dire
state of distress. On Sunday morning he left home, arid
between twelve and one o'clock on that day the report of a
pistol was heard in Epping Forest, between Chigwell and
Woodford. On some persons proceeding to the spot, they
found the deceased lying upon the ground, with blood flow-
ing from his mouth, and by his side a pistol, recently dis-
charged. He was removed to the Crooked Billet, where a
surgeon attended, who found that the deceased had put the
pistol into his mouth and fired, the ball passing through the
larynx and lodging in the neck. Although so seriously in-
jured, the deceased lingered until Wednesday, when he died.
All that was found on his person was two duplicates, a half-
penny, a pair of gloves, and a letter addressed to Lord Dudley
Stuart, thanking the Noble Lord for the part he had taken
in trying to obtain the regeneration of Poland, which he (the
writer) despaired of seeing ever carried into effect.

obliged to have the assistance of another boat. The
nets of which were placed so as to surround the others, and
by this means-the two'strings succeeded in securing upwards
of 40,000 Mackerel, besides a large number which escaped
prior to the assistance of the second boat. The fish realised

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
VICE CHANCERY COURT, March 15.
(Before Sir L. SHADWL.LL.)
MUCH V. JOY.
This cadse came on for futher directions on petition. It
appeared that the phi:dill' entered into an agreement with a
Mr. Colquitoun for the puchase of ciaetain leasehold and free-
hold estates in the county of Norfolk, which were liable to
Certain incumbranccs. One of the incumbrancers'.was the
present defendant, who was the personal representative of
Mr. Colquhoutt. The plaintiff was put in possession of the
property ; bur Mr. Colquhoun having become embarraed,
was obliged to leave the country before any conveyanc,
.was executed, and in two years afterwards Joy filed a
bill, in w hich he alleged that the purchase-money, instead
of 95.000/., the sum paid by the plaintiff in the present suit
110,00 Ci., and that he (Jay's) annuity of 3001. per annum,
was not redeeMable; theref,re that he was entitled to its
payment, together with the interest which had accrued,
which was te,,is:ed by Birch. The bill of the defendant came
before the Court in 1830, and his Honour decreed that his
anruity had ceased in 1824. In 1831 this decree was con-
firmed by the then L. rd Chancellor, but in 1836 was altered
by the House of Lord.., who directed that Joy should have
a reference to the Master, to ascertain what lien or claim he
had on the purchase money. The Master's report, in 1841,
found that the estate was liable to certain incumbrances,
among the rest, to the annuity of Joy, and 5,6001. also' due
to him.

Mr. Bethel!, Q.C., mid Mr. Parker were heard to-day for
he plaintiff.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

WES TE MCC/ T.—Dorchester, March 12.

FILLILER V PHIPPARD.

This was a spec►al jury case, and rather a singular
action. It was brought to recover damages for the
injury sustained by the plaintiff through the carelessly
lighting and burning a fire on the defendant's close.
called Cary's Heath that the fire spread to the ad-
joining land of the plaintiff, and destroyed a great
many trees and otherwise damaged the premises of the
plaintiff.
Mr. Crowder, Mr. Cockburn, and Mr. Barston appeared
for the plaintiff ; Mr. Sergeant Kinglake and Mr. Stock
conducted the case for the defendant.

Mr. CROWDER, in opening the case to the jury, stated
that he should prove that the plaintiff's residence ad-
;oined a heath of the defendant's called Cary's Heath,
near Wareham, and that the defendant's shepherd,
a man of the name of Watts, lighted a fire for
the purpose of burning the heath tind furze
on Cary's Heath so carelessly that the flame
spread, and did considerable damage to a number of
trees, &c., in an ornamental plantation belonging
to the plaintiff. The amount of )he actual damage
dine was about 201., 'but the plaintiff would scarcely
be compensated for the injury which he had sustained
by 1001., .and in all probability the property, if sold,
would fetch less by that suit) than it would if the fire
had not taken place. He would prove the negligence
chiefly by two facts :—First, by showing that no suffi-
cient belt had been made around the heath and furze
which were to be burnt, by removing a portion
.of the
surrounding furze, so as to preveni. the flame from
spreading, as was usual and proper in such cases ; and
s-condly, by showing that there was no one to assist
Watts in the event of any accident occurring, as there
ought to have been according to the course invariably
adopted in such cases. _ _ _

The plaintiff's case being concluded,
Mr. Sergeant KINGLAKE submitted that the plaintiff
must be nonsuited, as there was no evidence that Watts
burnt the heath by the authority of the defendant.
Mr. CROWDER submitted that there was enough to go
to the jury, as it was proved that Watts was a labourer
in the employ of the defendant, and his shepherd.
M.. Justice CRESSWELL slid that he would not stop
the case, but that he should reserve leave for the de-
seridaut to enter a nonsuit as in the present stage of the
!guise, and without reference to any evidence which the
defendant might produce.
Mr. CaowDEa was quite willing that the defendant
,hould have leave to enter a nonsuit generally, but would
not consent to any cAßlition sought to be imposed by
the Learned Judge.
Mr. Justice CRESSWELL said he would consult Mr.
Justice Williams as to what course he ought to adopt.
The Learned Judge then withdrew fur the purpose of
consulting with Mr. Justice Williams, and on his r.-turn
he stated that that Learned Judge was of opinion that
the case ought to he general, and not with reference
merely to the plaintiff's evid..nce. lie should adopt the
course recommended by Mr. Justice Williams.
Mr. Serfreant KINGLAKE then addressed the jury for

he defence, and called Watts and other innkeepers for
the purpose of showing that the damage was not the
result of negligence, but of inevitable accident.
The defendant's witnesses assessed the damage at
only 71.
The case for the defence clearly proved that Watts
,00k the heath as the agent of the detbinlant.
Mr. Justice CRESSWELL having summed up,
The jury, atter considerable consultation, returned a
verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 71.

NORTHERN CIRCI7IT.—York, March 11.

CRDWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron ROLFE)

•
The day's proceedings on the Crown side did nut ier-
ninate until a late hours all the afternoon and evening
)eieg occupied in the trial of .
BURGLARY.— William liempsall, 38, was indicted
for having, on the 22d of last December, at Stillington,
tear York, .burglariously entered the dwelling-house of.
ilarry Croft, and stolen therefrom 200 sovereigns, a
sheque for 1701, and other articles.
Mr. Sergeant Wilkins and' Mr. Dearsley were coun-
.el fur the prosecution ; and Mr. Bliss, with whom was
sir. Overt,nd, defended the prisoner.
The Learned COUNSEL, in opening the case, s'.ateclthat
m the night of Tuesday, the' 22d of December dart,
Colonel Croft was the last person up in his house ; and
,bout half-past eleven o'clock on that night it would be
hown to them that the wirviuws and doors of the hall
lure fastened before the different members of the family
.etired to rest. On the following morning it was found
hat a burglary had been cernmitted, and that about
2001. in gull, together with a cheque for 170/, and some
lothes of the colonel, bad been taken away, and that
.ome clothes belonging to the other members of the
',tinily had been strewed about on the floor,
tad likewise is the garden. The evidence, he was
round to state, was almost purely circumstantial, and
when they had that evidence, it would be for them to
ety, whether the prisoner was the guilty party or not.
the prisoner had lived in the service of Colonel Croft as
utter for some length of time, which service he left on
he 22d o. November last. During the time he was in
hat service he had frequent opportunities of seeing end
tnowing where Colonel Croft kept his cosh. After the
prisoner left his service he was for a considerable length
of time out of a situation, and for some time prior to the
iurglary exhausted all his funds, and was reduced, in
pint et feet, to a state of poverty. Upon the 22d of
Jecember last the prisoner went to a person named
ti,ohert Horsley, who is the ostler at Eldridge's Hotel,
vhich hotel the prisoner well knew Colonel Croft was in
he habit visiting when lie came to York, and he
iieretore made man; inquiries of Horsley as to who was
'eying at Stillington and he was informed that
et person was at the hall but the colonel. In the after
soon of thet day the prisoner me t a coachman named
t t
lames Newby and a police-officer, to whomhat
tet
el was going to the town of Sheffield, by the three e''elnek
rain. That statement, however, was not true, for at fou,'
.'clock he was seen at Dawson's public-house, near to
ae York Railway station. At that horse he saw a ser-
• ant named Ann Marsh, to whom he gave his carpet-
pig, a hat-box, and an umbrella. Between nine and
en o'clock the same night he went again to Dawson's,
.00k up the articles which he had left, and went away
and left York on the fallowing morning, by the halt-
esst five o'clock train. Stillington Hall is about ten
elides from York, so that, bearing in mind that between
dne and ten o'clock he left Dawson's, and left York at
;elf past five the next morning, they would perceive
.'tat he would have ample and sufficient time to go to
itiliington Hail, and have committed the burglary with
which he stood charged. He is next shown to be at
aheffield, somewhere about half-past eight o'clock. The
:'risoner, on arriving at that town, engaged a eab of a
.can named Yates, and ordered him to drive to a person
lamed Sanderson, whose house is situated in the Wicker.
tie got out of ate cab there, amid presented to Sanderson
in air-gun, with the following remarkable and strict in-
jenction I give you this gun, but you must not let
any living soul know that I gave it to you." That gun
e longed to Colonel croft. After that the cabman drove
'sim to the shop of Messrs. Levi, clothes dealers (and he
:eight here state that the prisoner had a day or two
tefore been heard to say that he was pennilesss, and
that he had not money enough to pay for a glass
of ale), where he bought a coat for the sum ot
21. 155., a frock coat for 4/. 10s., and a shooting
;eat for 21. 15s. 6d. These things, it would be
?roved, he paid for in gold. There was another
._ircumstance to . which he would call their atten-
tion. Mr. Henry Levi, of whom the prisoner bought
hose articles, observed that he (the prisoner) had a very
Earge sum of money in gold, namely, two or three hun.
'fired sovereigns, which certainly were very likely to at-
tract the attention of Levi. A portion of the articles
which the prisoner ordered were not complete, and he
said he would call again for them, and on being asked
his name he answered " Wells." On leaving the shop,
he told the cabman to drive him to a person named
Peace, a groom, residing at 7, Smith-street, and having
arrived there, he paid the man for the cab, and gave him
sixpence for himself. When he got to the house of
Peace he appeared to be very much tired and jaded, and
on being asked what gave him that appearance, he
stated that he came to Sheffield the previous 'tight at so
late an hour that he did not like to disturb them, and
had passed the night in some very improper company.
He sat down and fell asleep several times during the
day, and it was observed that his shoes were very dirty,
and appeared as if he had been travelling on some very
dirty roads. He retired to bed at the Mermaid public-
house between ten and eleven o'clock that night, and
on the following morning he was apprehended in
bed by a police-officer, and on being examined
17s. 6d. was found in his possession, and upon the cor-
ner of the window was found five sovereigns in gold.
l'he prisoner denied that they were his. The chamber-
meid, however, said that could not be the case, as she
palled the blind down, and had the gold been there at
chat time she must have seen it. ',These were all the
circumstances of the case which he (the Learned Ser-
geant) had to lay before them, and it would be for them
to say, under all those circumstance:, whether the prick
simer way the person who committed the blurglary with
which he stood indicted.
Colonel Croft was then cared, who stated that on the
morning of the 22d of December last he discovered that
the hell had been entered by the drawing-room window,
which might be easily effected, on secount of the in-
secure fastening of the window ehirttrs.
Several other witnesses were examined; after which,
Mr. Buss addressedahe jury on behalf of the prisoner,
anti submitted that it was improbable, nay, almost Im-
possible, that the house at Stallington could have been
entered from the outside. He did .not wish to throw
any imputation on the servants of Colonel Croft, but

if suspicion alone was to be brought against the un-
fortunate prisoner at the bar, suspicion. and very great
suspieion, might reasonably be ati ached to parti-•s who
lived in the house of that gentleman. lie also
suggested that it .was not improbable that some
person might have secreted himself in the hall lb:fore
dusk, and after. the domestics had retired to bed
committed the robbery. lie then commented on t! •
• appearance of the dining-room the morning after the
robbery, and treated it as an oFtentatious sort of a bur-
glery. He did not deny that a burglary had hen eern-
mitted, nor did he ny that, a orcut sum of money had
be,H.l taken. away by tie nurghir, but centended th.,t this
‘,/,s aL esse of swicion against the prisoner, and that,
under all the circumstances, it would only be fair of the
jury to acquit his client of ,so serious a charge. As to
the air-gun, he did not think that it presented such a
strong ease against the prisoner as it at first sight ap-
peared. It might nave easily been placed in his carpet
bag, er he might have had it in his possession at the
;nue he was at Dawson's, and it might have.esca,ped the
observat•on of the witness Ann Marsh. With respect
to the large amouet of money which the prisoner was
said to have at the clothes shop of the Jew, the Learned
Counsel thought it was impossibi • for any person to
judge of the sum of money a man had in his po:sessien
by the jingle in his pocket or its apparent weight.. The
Learned Counsel then commentud on the evidence of
a tine of the witnesses with much severity, and, in con-
elusion, urged upon the jury to acquit his client, as the
whole case was woun : up in TT)) stery and doubt.
The Learned JUDGE then summed up the evidence
with great minuteness, when the jury consulted together
for a short time, and return, d a verdict of Nat Guilty.
This prisoner is still detained in custody and will be
tried on another charge, that of larceny, connected with
the same transaction.
