TERMINATION OF THE STEAM-
BOAT WAR ON THE THAMES.
The two long anticipated causes for trial respecting
the Blackfriars and Paul's Wharf Piers, stood for trial
on Thursday last, in the special jury paper of the Queen's
Bench. Upon the application of the Solicitor-General,
who led for the City, Saturday was specially appointed,
on account of the number of public officers and eminent
professional men who were engaged as witnesses on either
side. At the opening of the Court, there were presen t
great numbers of persons, wbo appeared to take a livel y
interest in the result. The jury, who had previonsl y
taken a view of the locus in quo, were sworn, and 0 le
judge (Lord Denman), and every other person in Cou'et,
seemed to have made up their minds ft,r a long trial,
when a pause took place, and the Attorney-General
and the other Counsel against the City were
observed in close confabulation for a few minutes.
At length the Attorney-General, addressing the
Court, stated he had taken upon himself, in the
exercise of his discretion as counsel for the prosecutors,
the responsibility of recommending them not to offer any •
evidence in support of the prosecution ; the consequent,
of which would be, that a verdict of Not Guilty wouli
would be entered up for the Lord Mayor, commonalt3 ,
and citizens of London, the defendants on the recori
The Solicitor-General stated that he had the honour I x.
represent the Corporation of London, who, in the tour le
they had pursued, had acted only in discharge of the Jr
duty as conservators of the river, desirous to afford tl ie
public all the facilities in their power for the enjoymeJ .st
of steam navigation in the river ; and, he must say, 110
thought the Attorney-General had exercised a very -
sound discretion in the course he had pursued ; wh*re-
upon the judge smiled and the jury smiled ; the public
looked astonished. A verdict of Not Guilty was dully
*recorded ; and thus ended the steam-boat war, which at
one time appeared likely to be attended with very serious
results.
After the trial, we made it our business to inquire
amongst persons supposed to be behind the scenes, and
to know the springs and wires of City politics, as to
the mode in which this casur be& had really been dis-
posed of, and as to the mode by which the indictment
against the proprietors of Paul's Wharf Pier had dis-
appeared from the cause list. We learned, upon what
we considered good authority, that the defendants in the
latter,indictment have pleaded guilty, and undertaken to
remove the floating pier, which, it is rumoured, is found
to be an unprofitable speculation, being so close to the
preferable piers of Blackfriars and Old Swan Piers.
The Waterman's Company, whose boats had been ex-
cluded from the use of Blackfriars Pier for some weeks,
on account of their non-conformity with the regulations
of the Corporation, have been re-admitted, upon their
signing an agreement to observe these regulations in
future : and it is generally supposed, if the derendants,
who have been convicted in respect of Paul's Wharf
Pier, remove all cause of offence, that they wilLnot be
called up for judgment.
Amongst the members of the Corporation there was
a very current report that if the cause of the Blackfriars
Pier had been decided against the City, the Lord Mayor
would, as conservator of the river Thames, have em-
ployed a vast number of men to cut away, not only
every pier from Yantlet Creek to Staines, but actually
every mooring in the middle of the river in his jurisdic-
tion, so that the public might whistle for river accom-
modation after Monday.

Mr. Collins, surgeon, of Romford, said—l was called
between eight and nine o'clock in the evening •in
question to the deceased. Found his body lying in the
field he was discovered in. I examined his head, and
saw a large opening in the skull of six or eight inches,
entirely dividing the scalp. On the side of the head I
found an extensive wound, and I believe those injuries
quite sufficient to have caused death. The truncheon
produced might have caused such a wound. The de-
ceased could not have inflicted them himself. The
wounds in his throat extended from the thorax to the
spine of the back, and there was a wound under the right
ear. Those in the throat must have been done by a
sharp instrument. The forefinger of the left hand was
cut through at the joint. The divided portion of the
scalp was lying close to the body. Examined the ground
and found pieces of the skull pressed down in the earth.
Sergeant Parson here stated that on searching the
body, he found in the pockets 14s. 6d. in silver, and a
silver watch, which had stopped at three o'clock.
The Coroner here remarked that there could be no
doubt that the deceased had been brutally murdered, and
therefore he should adjourn the inquiry tbr the collection
of further evidence.

The inquiry was accordingly adjourned.
Nothing can exceed the sensation in the villages ad-
joining the scene of the murder. It was intimated that
Government issued directions for a reward of 2001.
being offered for the apprehension of the murderer or
murderers.
