handed to witness)—These are the pap ers given me by
the policeman Prender ; some of the paper's, which I did I
not consider material, I rejected, and did x wt forward to
Mr. Kemmis. They were never out of nq • custody from
the time I get them from Prender until.l banded them
to Mr. Kemmis. I cannot swear that they are in the
same state now as when they were in my possession. I
cannot swear that there was not another page of the
document headed " Our Harvest Prospects" when it was
in my possession. I cannot say the page was wanting
when I first got the document.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL then gave in evidence the
following documents :
An attested copy of the declaration or proprietorship
of the Tribune newspaper, which was signed by Mr.
O'Doherty in the presence of Mr. Vernon, of the Stamp
office; the two copies of the Irish Tribune of the Ist and
Bth of July, containing the indicted articles, and signed
by the prisoner ; and the imperfect manuscript of the
article entitled " Our Harvest Prospects."
The case for the Crown closed here, and the Court
adjourned till ten o'clock next morning.

The LORD MAYOR—If such were the case, it would
be an aggravation of his crime; for, in again marrying,
he was making those who were aware of the fact parties
to the felony.
The prisoner requested to be allowed to remain at the
Giltspur•street Compter until th© time of trial, for the
convenience of consulting his solicitor upon the subject
of his defence.

The LORD MAYOR peremptorily refused to grant the
favour, and said that Newgate presented adequate facili-
ties.--The prisoner, against whom several strong ex•
pressiona of hardly suppressed indignation were uttered
during the investigation, was then committed for trial.
Between the first examination and the committal of
the prisoner, a gentleman of the medical profession, to
whom the prisoner had become accidentally known in In-
dia, waited upon the Lord Mayor, and gave some details
which showed that the fellow had been long in the habit
of imposing upon young females by a variety of gross
misrepresentations, and that he spoke of his marriages
as forming examples of genius in his plans of seduction.
As the case at present stands, the heaviest punishment
that can be inflicted upon the prisoner is transportation
for seven years; but it is believed that-the Apothecaries'
Company will come forward to prosecute him for the
forgery of the certificate.
The LORD MAYOR stated to the friends of the poor
young women who have been the victims of the prisoner,
that as the case appeared to him to be one in which the
interests and feelings of the public were essentially con-
cerned, he should direct the City Solicitor to prosecute.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
NEV .CO UR T.
(Before the COMMON SERGEANT.)
Joseph Maclaren, a labourer, 23, and James Pomeroy
Boobner, a shoemaker, aged 42, were indicted for steal-
ing a cash-box, containing a 5/. note, tea sovereigns, and
other moneys, the property of James Barker, in his
dwelling-house.
Mr. O'Brien prosecuted, and Mr. Parry defended.
It appeared that the prosecutor keeps the Fortune of
War public-house, in Giltspur-street, and Maclaren was
servant in the house. On the night of the 22d of Sep-
tember there was a party there, which broke up about
three in the morning, when there was a great disturb-
ance; and when they wore leaving, the prisoners were
seen behind the bar on their knees, near where the cash-
box was kept, and a chinking of money was heard. As
soon as the party had left the cash-box was missed, and
the circumstance becoming known, the fact of the pri-
soners being seen where they had, was mentioned.
Mr. PARRY contended there was no evidence to show
the prisoners stole the box.
The prisoners were found Guilty, and the Common
Sergeant, in passing sentence, remarked upon the fla-
grant nature of the case, the more particularly as far as
Maclaren was concerned, he being a servant in the em-
ploy of the prosecutor.
Maclaren was then sentenced to seven years' trans-
portation, and Boobner to one year and hard labour.
Edwin James Lucas surrendered to take his trial
upon an indictment charging him with having stolen
a quantity of stereotype plates, the property of James
Silverlock.

THE QUEEN AIVD PRINCE ALBERT IN

THE COURT OF CHANCERY.

Her Majesty and the Prince are well known as
patrons of the arts. They are not " patrons" in a
merely vulgar sense, but themselves follow art in
various branches with a pure love not often manifested
by royal persons. Our readers may remember to
have read an account, not long since, of various
drawings and etchings which have been executed by
her Majesty and Prince Albert, and which excited a
deserved admiration in those who were so favoured as
to be allowed to inspect them. These drawings, or
etchings, or copies of them, it seems, have, by some
scandalous turpitude, being abstracted from the
palace without authority. They were taken to a
publisher in Paternoster-row, who proceeded to ad-
vertise them for publication, with a " descriptive
catalogue." It was not to be supposed that this
piracy could be allowed to pass. That the parties
aggrieved were our gracious Queen and her Consort,
was no reason why punishment should not follow the
offence. Accordingly, it was resolved that pro-
ceedings should be taken to restrain the individual in
question from proceeding with his threatened publi-
cation. It was necessary that Prince Albert should
make an affidavit, which he did. We subjoin an
abstract of it :

Mr. Parry prosecuted and Mr. Clarkson defended.
The prisoner had been in the employ of the pro-
secutor, who is a printer in Doctors' Commons. Pro-
secutor, having a suspicion that he was being robbed,
set a watch upon his men, and the result was that the
prisoner's premises were searched, and some plates,
partly melted down, and some, metal belonging to pro-
secutor, found.
In cross-examination it was elicited that the prisoner
might have taken the metal home to try experiments in
stereotype casting.
The jury Acquitted the prisoner.
James Spaekman, aged 23, and Mark Barker, 42, two
labourers, were indicted for stealing twenty bushels cf
wheat, the property of William James Reynolds the
master of Spackman.
The case, which has been fully given under the head
of the police intelligence during the past week, was most
conclusive, and the jury found them Guilty, and they
were transported for seven years.
Edwin Gatehouse and William Dowlell, the former a
shoemaker, and the latter a clerk, were convicted of a
nameless offence.—Sentence deferred.

The deponent describes himself as " Albert, Prince
of Saxe Coburg and Gotha, Consort of her Majesty
the Queen," and maketh oath and saith :—" That he
has looked through the book intituled A Descriptive
Catalogue of the Royal Victoria and Albert Gallery
of Etchings.' That there are such etchings made by
her Majesty and himself respectively as therein
mentioned—that the same were so made for the
private use of her Majesty and himself, and
not for publication. That they had a private'
press, from which they occasionally took impres-
sions of the etchings, and that the plates were
and are kept locked up by her Majesty, in
order to prevent the same becoming public ; but
that copies are left in some of the private apartments,
and in such private apartments only. That there
are various family portraits and etchings from old
and rare engravings in the possession of her Ma-
jesty, and several from such original designs as
in this catalogue mentioned, and that amongst such
etchings are several portraits of the Princess Royal,
and such scenes in the royal nursery as in the
catalogue mentioned. That such etchings were in-
, tended for the private use of her Majesty and the de-
ponent only. That although some of such etchings
have been given occasionally and very rarely to the
personal friends of her Majesty, yet the deponent
says, speaking positively for himself and to the best
of his belief for her Majesty, that no suck col-
lection as that advertised for exhibition was ever given
away by them or either of them, or by their or either
of their permission. That no such collection could
have been formed, except by impressions surrepti-
tiously and improperly obtained, and believes that the
defendant or the person or persons in the possession
of the collection advertised for exhibition must have
obtained, and did obtain the same from some person
or persons surreptitiously. That by whatever means
the same were obtained, the exhibition of the said
etchings, or any of them, is without the sanction and
against the wishes of her Majesty and deponent,
and believes that such catalogue could not have been
compiled or made except by possession of the
several impressions of the said etchings so surrep-
titioikly obtained. That the deponent's first
knowledge of the existence of such Catalogue
of Etchings was on the 11th of October instant, when
it was given to deponent by G. E. Anson, Esq., as a
parcel which had been left at the Palace, directed to
her Majesty, and opened by him as her Privy Purse,
and deponent thereby learnt for the first time that it
was intended to submit them to public exhibition, and
he believes on the same occasion, and at the same
time, her Majesty first beeline aware of the existence
of such catalogue, anti deponent immediately desired
the said G. E. Anson, Dri., to write to the private
solicitor of her Majesty on the subject."
Upon this affidavit an injunction was granted to
restrain the publisher in question from proceeding
further in the business. The application was made,
and the injunction granted.

Gatehouse was then indicted for stealing some boots
and shoes, the property of William Towers, his master,
and found Guilty.
He was then transported for seven years.
THIRD COU.RT.
(Before Mr. Commissioner BULLOCK.)

Susannah Taylor, a good• looking young woman, was
indicted fur having feloniously married one George Scott,
her husband, John Taylor, being alive.
Mr. Robinson appeared to defend the prisoner.
The prosecutor, George Scott, stated that he was a
river lighterrnan. He first became acquainted with the
prisoner about eighteen months ago, by meeting her at
a public-house in the neighbourhood of Stepney. After
keeping company with her some short time she asked
him if he would marry her ; when he replied, that he
did not mind if he did, but he had not then the means
at hand wherewith to provide a home. She answered, that
was of no consequence, as they could get married first,
and get a home afterwards. Lie agreed to that course
being taken, and about three months after (the 26th of
June, 184 S) they were married at Stepney Church, by-:Mr.
Neville, the assistant-curate. After the ceremony was
performed, the prisoner went one way, and the witness
another. Shortly after the marriage he was walking
along High-street, Wapping, with the prisoner ou his
arm when a woman came up and told the prisoner that
she ought to be ashamed of herself for being with a man,
she being another man's wife, but she denied it, and
witness believed her. However, from circumstances he
had learned, he went to Bethnal-green Old Church, and,
on inspecting the register, ho found that she really was
married to Taylor, and procured a copy of the register
of his own marriage to her, and caused her to be taken
into custody.

Mrs. Scutt, prosecutor's mother. produced the copies
from the register, mid proved that they were the correct
oaei.

The prisoner's father proved that she had lived with
Taylor, and was, hi, believed, his wife; and he stated,
that as the prisoner had never iivei with bcott, 'faylor
considered that his honour was unimpeached by the
double msrriago, and would therefore receive her back
as his wife the moment she was out of pricon.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty, but reT)mme,nded
her to mercy.
The Learned JUDGE sentenced the prisoner to one
month's hard labour.

TV. Crofts and Francis Viner were indictel for steal-
ing six quarters of usts and fourteen sacks, the proh.•rty
of Mr. Tuna:in, of the Torrington Arras; and John Sal-
ley, corn-dealer, of Theobald's-road, and Sarah, his
wife, were charged' with feloniously receiving the
property.

It appears that in a legal point of view the question
is a new one. The case of piracy of drawings not
intended for publication does not appear to have
come before the courts in any previous instance. The
nearest case to it, in which an injunction has been
granted, was where the application was to restrain
the publication by a piratical bookseller of Arch-
deacon Paley's MS. sermon after his death..—Atlas.

The ea,se having been proved, several witnesses spoke
to Sealf,l's good character. He was well known on the
Corn Exchange.
The jury found the prisoners Guilty, but recommended
them to mercy on account of thvir good character.

The Learned COMMISSIONER sentenced Crofc and the
two Sealeys to oneyear's hard labour each, and Viner to
fourteen days in Newgate.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
Henry Bramall, alias Henry Edward Braman, alias
Henry Beaumont, was brought before the Lord Mayor
for final examination, charged with having married
several young women, all of whom are now living.
The interest excited by this case gathered together a
large assemblage of respectable persons of both sexes,
many of whom were the friends of the ladies who were
victimized.
The prisoner was quite unmoved during the investi-
gation. Mr. Buenanau, sol.citor, attended fur him, but
he very narrowly watched the evidence himself, and
seemed to calculate upon some chance arising from im-
perfect identification.
The Rev. Alexander Fletcher was the first witness
called. He stated that in the year 1839 he married
Henry Blameli to Rebecca Coach, in Princes-street
Chapel, Devouport. He believes the prisoner to be the
man he married upon the occasion.
The certificate of the marriage, which stated that it
had taken place on the 18th of August, was here pro-
duced and authenticated.
Elisabeth Tinley stated that she had been married to
the prisoner on the 25th of March, 1843. He stated to
her that his name was Henry Edward Beaumont, and five
months after the marriage he went to sea.
Emily Georgina Rose, whose affections the prisoner
had gained on the passage to India in the vessel in which
he was acting as surgeon, and in which she was a pas-
senger, was the next witness called. The poor young
creature was an object of great and general commis.era-
lion. She has not yet attained her sixteenth year, and
upon being called according to the customary form to
say whether she knew the prisoner, she was quite over-
powered by her feelings, and sobbed and wept bitterly.
It was well that she had but to answer a question or
two. She stated that she was now living in Sussex
with her friends, and that she had been married to the
prisoner at the Old Church, in Fort William, Bengal, on
the 30th of October, 1847, and had lived with him after-
wards as his wife.

Mr. W. Medland, medical and drug agent, Upper
Thames-street, stated that he was married toprisoner's
wife's sister, and knew him well. He believed the writ..
ing produced to be that of the prisoner. He had been
at the prisoner's house, at St. Blasey, in Cornwall,
where the prisoner carried on the business of a druggist.
" I met the prisoner," said the witness, " one day in
Bishopsgate-street, and he told me he was a surgeon to
a ship. I expressed some surprise at the circumstance,
knowing his want of qualification, and he assured me
that he had got his certificate from Apothecaries' Hall.
1 Inquiry was subsequently made at Apothecaries' Hall
upon the subject, when it was found that there was no
entry of the name." It is supposed that the certificate
which he became possessed of belonged to another per-
son, whose name he erased by a chemical process, for the
purpose of substituting his own.
The LORD MAYOR—Prisoner, do you wish to say
anything?—The prisoner, having retired for some mi-
nutes in order to communicate with his attorney, de-
clined making any observations.
Mr. Buchanan said the prisoner wished him to state
that some of the females who came forward against him
knew when they were receiving his addresses that ho
was a married mID. i
