be) accordingly as if the same had been so preserted ;
and the said treasurer shall pay over the amount by
him received as hereinbefore provided in the case of such
money being presented by the grand jury.
And be it enacted, that any sum of money so to be
raised and levied off any barony, half barony, county of
city or county of a town under the provisions of this
Act shall be charged upon, and applotted, raised cad
levied upon and from the occupiers of, and other persons
rateable in respect of lands and hereditaments within
such barony, half' barony, county of a city or county of
a town respectively, and rated under the then last pre-
ceding rate or rates made, or from time to time made in
respect of the same, under the provisions of an Act of
the first and second years of her present NW= sty,
intituled, "An Act for the more effectual Relief of the
Destitute Poor in Irelanr'," and any Act amending the
same, and shall be payable by the respective ratepayers,
who under the said last preceding rate or rates shall
have paid or contributed or been liable to pay or
contribute rate in respect of property in such barony,
half barony, county of a city or county of a town,
according to the several valuations and proportions
according to which respectively such last preceding
rate or rates shall have been so made, charged upon
and payable by the rate-payers in respect of snch lands
or hereditaments respectively ; and any such sum of
money shall be assessed and levied by the respective
collector of grand jury cess for such barony, half barony
or place, as a poundage assessment equally upon the net
annual value, of the several lands and hereditaments
within such barony, half barony, county of a city or
county of a town respectively, rated as aforesaid, as such
net annual value shall have been stated in such last pre-
ceding rate or valuation as aforesaid ; and on receipt of
the respective county treasurer's warrant as aforesaid,
such colliwor is hereby authorised and required to levy
the money therein mentioned ; and such money shall
and may be collected and levied, sued for and recovered,
by such and the same ways and means as any grand jury
ct as, or the money applotted on the several persons
liable to pay any grand jury cess, may be collected and
levied, and with like powers, authorities and privileges
to any such collector, as in case of the levying of any
grand jury cess.
The tenth clause authorises the grand jury collector
to take a copy of the last made rate from the rate-honk.
And be it enacted, That when any person occupying
such lanis or hereditaments within any such district
shall he liable to pay a rent in respect of the same, he
may deduct from such rent, for each pound of the rent
which he shall be liable so to pay, one-half of the sum
which be shall hare paid as such assessment in respect of
each pound of the net annual value (whether such rent
shall be greater or less than such net annual value), and
so in proportion for any less sum than a pound.
And be it enacted, That where any person receiving
rent in respect of any such rateable property within such
tistrict, shall also pay a rent in respect of the same, he
shall be entitled to deduct from the rent so paid by him
a sum bearing such a proportion to the amount of such
Assessment deducted from the rent received by him as
the rent paid by him bears to the rent received by him :
Provided always, That every lessor assessed instead of
any occupier of rateable property shall be entitled to de-
duct from any rent paid by him in respect of such pro-
perty a sum bearing such a proportion to one-half of the
assessment on such property as the rent paid by him
bears to the net annnal value of such property.
The third clause empowers the grand jury to present
for the payment of the secretary and collectors such
qnrns As may be deemed compensatory for their additional
labour.
And be it enacted, That when any public work shall
be presented or executed under the provisions f this
Act, it shall be lawful for any occupier or owner of any
4round taken and occupied for the purpose of such work
to demand and obtain from the officer of the said Com-
missioners of Public Works or the county surveyor, as
the case may b-, by whom such work shall have been or
shall be executed, a certificate under his hand, which
such officer or surveyor is hereby required to give,
stating the quantity of ground belonging to such
occupier or owner which shall have been so taken and
occupied for the purpose of such work, and an estimate
of the average annual value of such ground, the tenure
of such occupier or owner thereof, and an estimate of
he total damage sustained by him or either of them by
he taking and occupying of such ground for the
purpose of such work; and upon giving or tendering such
certificate it shall be lawful for such officer or surveyor as
aforesaid to proceed in the execution of such work without
interruption of any person; and it shall be lawful for any
such owner or occupier, or either or each of them, giving
ten days' previous notice to the secretary of the grand
jury, to make application to the grand jury at the assizes
next following the giving of such certificate, or the next
oibsequent assizes, for the amount of such damages
specified in such certificate, whereupon it shall be lawful
fur the grand jury to present, without previous applica-
tion to presentment sessions, such sum or sums of
money, for the use of such owner or occupier, or each of
them, as the case may lie, in respect to the damage sits
alined by him, as they, upon inspection of such certifi
Cate, shall deem reasonable to be raised off the barony
or half barony in which such ground shall be situated,
and to such presentment no traverse shall be
allowed or received ; but in case such owner
occupier shall not think fit to make such application
to the grand jury, it shall be lawful for him, at the
assizes next following the giving of the said certificate,
or at tha next subsequent assizes, upon giving Ten days'
notice, previously to such assizes, to the secretary of the
grand jury, of the amount of damages intended td be
claimed, to have a traverse for damages entered in the
crown book in respect of such damage sustained by him;
and thereupon such traverse shall be tried in like man
tier and like proceedings shall be had, and like present-
ment made in respect of the same, and subject to like
provisions, as far as the same can be applied, as in the
cases of traverses entered for damages under the Acts
;or consolidating and amending the laws relating to the
presentment of public moneys by grand juries in Ireland.
Clause 15 is the usual interpretation clause; and
Clause 16 enacts that no sessions can be holden und( r

THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.
• THE HARVEST IN SCOTLAND.—The weather con
inues very unsettled. The intervals of sunshine and
• try weather during the week have been few, but every
I advantage has been taken of them to push forward the
• labours of the harveit. A considerable breadth of crop
I has accordingly fallen before the sickle. Wednesda%
was a charming day, but yesterday was gloomy and
drizzly in the extreme. Harvest wages are still high,
and labourers scarce. We observe that the East Lothian
farmers have been paying 18s. to 1/. per week, with
victuals. Considerable quanties of oats have be,o
cut in that quarter with the scythe, at 95., including
gathering and binding, and without victuals. From
the same district we have the inauspicious intelligence
lt a destructive disease in the bean crop, which is thus
lescribed in the Mercury:—" Kitty fields are already as
black as they generally are in the end of October, and
when the pods are opened, there is found on many of the
immature beans a black speck, not larger than the head of
I pin, on each side of the plumule. As the affected bean
alvances and darkens in colour, the spots become invisible,
but on examination the bean is found to be tainted through
,ts whole substance of a dull yellowish brown colour;
the vegetative power has evidently been destroyed, and
when boiled they remain hard and tough. The roots of
the diseased plants are in general knotty, and exhibit
numerous minute whitish-coloured tubers." Harvest
is now general throughout the country. In the nothern
counties, says the Inverness courier, it is " interrupted
only by unfavourable weather, or the difficulty of ob-
taining shearers. Yesterday (Tuesday) rain fell during
nearly the whole day, to the discomfiture of many hun-
dreds of farmers and labourers,', who were ready to com-
mence operations in the corn field. On Monday a great
deal of barley and oats was cut down, and several fine
fields of wheat." In the Carse of Stirling the weath°r,
more than any want of reapers, obstructed the progress
of harvest. The Observer of yesterday says—" A gri at
part of the beans is cut, and also a considerable
quantity of wheat, but very little barley, and still
less oats. The Perthshire Advertiser of yesterday men.

-
:ions that " a day toul and a day fair is the rule ;
nevertheless, the stocks on the hairst rig' are in-
ereasing in number, and the farmers evidently seizing
every propitious moment for cutting down their golden
treasure. Indeed, on Monday last, some persons were
observed busy 'leading' on the banks of Vie Tay, a little
below Newburgh, apparently determined to place their
produce beyond the r each of the changeable weather, by
safely stowing it under' thack and rape.' " In Ayrshire
the wages of reapers have run up as high as 3s. Bd. a day.
In Kilmarnock, on Monday, 3s. 2d. was given, and on
Wednesday 3s. 6d. In Maypole, on Monday, wages
varied from 3s. to 3s. Bd. On Wednesday shearers were
engaged in Irvine at from 3s. to 3s. 64. In Girvan, 34,
and 3s. 6d. can easily be got. In Colmonell, reapers are
exclusive of victuals, besides
end from the field. The harvest in

Ayrshire is proceeding slowly, owing to the obstacles of
bad weather and paucity of hands.
THE HARVEST IN OXFORD. HIRE. During the
past week we have been visited with frequent and
heavy
e et upraeinnsiarwrhesict operations.

Thea mostwhee
wheat is
fprejudicialneary
fr
all housed, and from information derivedto
from
nearly ad parts of the country, it is g
know that the crop has been quite an average one
and that the quality is rather superior. There is a
great deal of barley cut' and only waiting for fine
weather to get it ricked. The crop is considered
rather deficient, and very inferior in quality to that
of last year, and unless we very soon have line weat
ther, there will be very little good malting barley in
many fields in this county will only be fit for
the pigs. Oats are abundant, but the bean crop his
very bad. The late rains have proved very beneficial to
the turnip lands, which are lookinc, remarkably well,
and also to the meadows and pastureland. The crop of
Lattermath is exceedingly thick, and promises a heavy
crop. Several meadows near Oxford are already cut.
The potato di4ease is developing itself to a most alarm-
ing and fearful extent. Wheat rose yesterday (Satur-
day) in Oxford market, 64. per bushel.
During the present week, we regret to say, the wea-
ther in this neighbourhood has been such as materially
to retard the labour of cutting and housing the crops.

be the case, the farmers will be siorking double odes

to lose : the potato blight will, no doubt, add to their
anxiety for their other crops.—Manchester Examin• r.
INVERNESS.—The weather, we may say for the week,
has been the most unfavourable we could have had
at this season of the year. We can complain vtry
little, however, in this neighbourhood, beyond the
stop put by the rain to cutting down. It has not Set
bt en so weighty as to occasion material damage, further
than what a few days of good weather would repair.
Still it is disheartening, when activity should every
where prevail, to be compelled to submit to listless
idleness and delay. This. though the dancer be not
evidently near, may bring it eventually. The rains we
have had about town were neither alarming nor con-
stant, and perhaps were rather provoking than either.
In the south, we see the same complaints exist, of
"changeable weather, rainy and dry days having alter-
nated almost regularly." Our correspondent in Bade-
noch writes:—" Further continuance of rain, which we
have often in torrents, will cause incalculable loss and in-
jury where it has not done it already. This same day
(18th), with a storm of wind and -rain, is more like a day
in October or November, than this early period." This
corresponds with reports which we have from various
quarters. The crops still continue to hold well to the
eye. There will be no loss in this quarter if the heavy
August rains, so frequent, be no severer than they
have been hitherto. In the upper districts great loss
has been sustained. The authority above quoted says,
"The crops, which we thought not long since would
have been stinted by extreme heat, are, in many places,
laid level with the ground, without any prospect
of its ever rising. In some places clover bay is still
on the fields. The natural hay is all uncut, and some
of the best in this country is irrecoverably lost by spets
which cover the meadows with mud." The potato dis-
ease has now unhappily established its reign in this
vicinity, and our correspondent thus describes it as it is
in that quarter, " There is no denying the disease is
making rapid strides among the potatoes here." It is
yet more prevalent in the parish of Laggan, the highest
parish in Scotland, where it made its appearance in
several places at the same time ; but during the last few
days, it is supposed, that no other parts of the country
are visited by it. He proceeds—" Nothing can exceed
such of the oats as aro approaching to ripeness, and
the grain promises to be of good quality. The here
crop is very deficient in many places, owing, it is sup-
posed, to the extreme heat which continued so long be-
fore the rain came. That, and if the potatoes are de-
stroyed, as at present threatened, this part of the High-
lands will feel its share of inconvenience, however safely
the harvest may be got in."—lnverntss Journal.

" DIABOLICAL OUTRAGE.
"COWARDLY ATTEMPT AT MURDER.

" HANDSOME REEWAED,

rHE MOORS.

EAST LOTHIAN AND BERWICKSHIRE.—The accounts
from the sportsmen on the Lammermoors this seasoneire
of a most unfavourable description. " Everywhere,"
writes a correspondent, "the grouse are more or less
affected with the tape-worm, producing such a state of
emaciation as to render them unfit for use. The healthy
birds are so strong and shy as not, or very seldom, tote
within the reach of shot, and younger broods, cheepers,
the old cock the only one fit to be bagged—be (poor fel-
low) from his natural feelings, never failing to fall a vic-
tim in the first instance. The mother seldom rises until
almost caught by the pointer, and, when shot, is also
unfit for use, not having recovered the effects of incuba-
tion. In fact, we may almost say that grouse shooting
on these moors has been a total failure. It is recom-
mended that a jubilee be given them next year, through
the districts." Nor are the accounts from the moors in
the counties of Northumlerlaed and Durham of a very
flattering description as respects the number of birds.
They are represented as being in rather small coveys, so
strong on the wing that they will soon pack, and as be-
musing very inaccessible.—Berwick Warder.
PERTHSHIRE iIIGHLANDS.—We are happy to be able
to confirm the favourable accounts of the orening of the
campaign on the moors, shortly referred to in our list.
The weather, as we then mentioned, was the most
auspicious which could be desired—a gentle westerly
breeze, with sunshine and occasional intervening clouds,
moderating the heat and spreading the scent to the dogs.
From early morn to dewy eve not a drop of rain fell,
and the sportsmen were enabled to keep the hill in most
oases for twelve successive hours. The results cor-
respond with such favouring circumstances, being, on
the whole, fully better than has been experienced for
several years. On Dalnaspidal, at the extre me north
of this county, in Athol!, a party of five guns brought
down no fewer than 436 brace. Of these 190 fell to
the guns of Mr. Stirling Crawford and Mr. Little Gil-
mour-164 to Mr. Fellowes and Mr. Everard— and 82
to Mr. Willoughby. The total of three nays shooting
on Dalnaspidal and Delnacardoch moors to the above
party was 1,200 brace ! At Drummour, Sir P. M.
Threipland shot 1039 brace grouse, and eight hares—
Lord Mexberough and party, over the moors of Dal-
chosnie, Kinloch, and Innerhadden, 100 brace, of which
52 brace were bagged by his Lordship—Lord Glenlyun
shot in Glenloch 64 brace, but was only out in the of
ternoon—Mr. John Cameron and friend, at Dalnamine.
121 brace, all full grown birds—Sir Henry Pottinger
and Mr. Burn, at Glettbruar, 118 brace Messrs.
Graham, at Calvine, 84 brace Captain Hogg nod
friend at Loch Yukio', 90 brace. In Inverness shire,
the sport was not much inferior, but the morning
was wet. Mr. Laverock and friend, at Pit-
main, shot 200 brace, 105 felling to the former—
at Glenshero, Lord Cantelupe and friend, 156 brace—at
Dalwhinnie, Colonel Dundas and friend, 94 brace—
Sir John Trollope, at Glenfernate, 70 brace—Lord Gray
and Mr. Drummond at Straloch (on the 14th) 45 brace
—a very wet day. In Strathbrasn the sport was un-

on the 14th 50 brace, were bagged. On the 13th it

AYRSHIRE.--We understand that in general the mea-
sure of success is but indifferent, and that the grouse,

now than they were at the end of last season. The tape-

tlemen, so far as we are aware. On the same day, Dr.
Eaton killed 12i brace at Darnaconar. He did not go
out on the 13th, but on the 14th he killed 8 brace.
The birds at Darnaconar are all packed in flocks of
from 50 to 60. Captain Drake brought down 17 brace
on the Craiglure moors, parish of Straiton, on the same
day. At Blairquhan, in the parish of Straiton, on the
12th, two guns only killed 12 brace, but it .was two
o'clock P.M. ere the party sallied out. A party of two
from Ayr, on the moors on the borders of Auchiuleck
parish, where Sir James Boswell was successful, scarcely
found a bird. Another gentleman, on the Galston moors,
only bagged 81 brace. We hear that the Duke of
Montrose, on his estate near Lochlomond, killed 24
brace on the 12th.—Ayr Observer.
DUMFRIES SUIRE.—AII the accounts we have received
concur iu stating, that the birds are remarkably wild,
and that, in consequence, the number bagged has been
less than usual. Disease has also made its appearance
in some moors, and we heard or one gentleman who shot
fourteen brace, only a small portion of which were
worth bringing home, ou account of the emaciated con-
dition of the birds. Nevertheless, there must have been

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
, Two young men, named William Burt, and Benjamin
Mactiff, were charged with having attempted to obtain
the sum of 221. upon a forged letter. The case was a
curious one. The presiding magistrate was Alderman
Wilson.
Mr. James Booty, of the firm of Stringer and Booty,
oil-merchants, of Leadenhall-street, said—On Saturday
morning last, we received a letter from Messrs. Seger
and Chadwick, York, dated the 21st of August, as a
matter of business. We also received from Mr. Jame.
Chadwick, one of the partners in the firm, another letter
by the same post, asking its to pay Mr. Brown 221. on
account of James Chadwick. Oa my arrival in town, I
found the latter letter on my desk, and suspected that
it was a forgery. At about half-past four o'clock, the
prisoner Hart, came into the counting-house, and gave
to me a letter referring to the 221., and I asked him
whom he came from, to which he replied, from Mr.
Brown, for the amount in the letter. I told him
to wait a little, and I would return and give him a
cheque. I left him in the counting-house, return, d with
a policeman, and asked him from whom he had got the
letter ; and he said from a young man at the corner of
St. Mary Axe. I gave him into custody, and have since
usc.rtained from York that the letter was a forgery. I
then wen, to the address upon the letter, and learned
from the landady that the prisoner, Metcalf, who had
formerly lodged with and robbed her, and be,n pro-
secuted by her to conviction, had introduced Mr. Brown
to her, with a request that she would receive any letters
addressed to him there. Upon returning to the count-
ing-house on Alonday morning I kind that Metcalf
had, in the meantime, called to look after Hart, 'and
been detained by my partner ; and I directly charged
Metcalf as an accomplice. I referred to these letters, and
Metcalf said, If you are going to take me away I
will tel the truth." He then told me that he had been
connected with the Mr. Brown, to whom one of the let-
ters had been addressed, and who went by the name of
Whisker, or Whistler.

who shot over the Kinharvey moors on Wednesday. suc-
ceeded in bagging fifty-eight brace of birds.—Thimfri s
Courier.

Mr. Stringer, the other partner in the house of
Stringer and Booty, added to the statement of the last
witness the following :—About ten o'clock on Monday
morning the prisoner Metcalf came into the counting-
house, and asked if we had not received a letter respect-
ing some money in the name of Brown. I said we had,
asked him to walk in, and sent for a polceman. Met-
calf then said he was desirous of giving full information
as he knew the parties. He said the party who hal
concocted the letters was named Whisker ; that his
mother resided at, York, and was respectable ; and that
these letters had been sent to a put-hie:in at York,
with direct;ons to put them into the post-office there.
City policeman 555, stated, that he took Hart into
custody in the counting-house of Messrs. Stringer and
Booty, on Saturday. Hart said he gel the letter he
presented from a man in the street, at the corner of St.
Mary. axe, but who that man was, or where he lived,
was not known to him. Witness took Hart to the place,
but could find no one there answering the description.
City-policeman 531 who took the other prisoner into
custody, stated that Metcalf said that he had been in
prison with a man named Whisker, or B. own, that they
had been both discharged on Tuesday last, and had
been lodging together in Aldersgate•buildings since
they came out, and that Whisker had borrowed his coat
of him, and had it on.

Hart said, " I met this man Brown on Friday night
in the street. He was a total stranger to me, and we
had some drink together. He asked me to lend him a
shilling, and he said he should pay me on Saturday,

I met him again on Saturday, and he bot rowed another

ABOLITION OF THE PUNISHMENT OF DEATH.—On
Friday next, at twelve for one o'clock, a meeting is to take
place at the Guildhall Coffee-house, at which Alderman Sid-
' ney.is to preside, to consider the propriety of abolishing the
punishment of death. The elms of Smith, who is now under
sentence for the murder committed in the Guildhall Coffee-
house, will be then taken into consideration, and efforts will
be made to obtain a commutation of the sentence to trans-
portation for life.
EXTRAORDINARY SEDUCTION TRIAL—It may be
remembered that, at last year's Wicklow assizes. a verdict
with 1,0001. damages was given against John L. Arabin, late
mayor of Dublin, for the seduction of his own illegitimate
daughter, the action being brought at the instance of the
mother of the girl. Subsequently, an application on the part
of Mr. Arabin to the Court of Exchequer for a new trial was
granted, the court refusing to change the venue from Wick-
low to Dublin. The case, it is reported, will not proceed
further, a compromise having been effected, Mr. Arabin con-
renting to settle upon his daughter an annuity equivalent to
the amount of the Wicklow verdict.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
OLD COURT.
(Before the RECORDER and Alderman Moues).
Cunitrus CASE—REVENGE BY LlBEL—Jesse Philips and
Edward Browne m ere placed at the bar this morning, indicted
for nthdemeanour, in publishing and causing to be publisLed, a
libellous bill to the injury of James Richardson and Thomas
edgwood, earthenware merchants, Spitalfields.
As evidence was not had against Edward Brown he was
acquitted. Mr. Prendergast and Mr. Horry conducted the
prosecution.
It appeared that the prisoner, Jesse Phillips, who described
himself as manager to Edward Wedgwood Phillips, earthen-
ware merchant, kicked up a row in the shop of the prosecutor,
James Richardson, Union-street, Spitalfields,andwas bundled
out neck and heels. Three or four hours after be walked
into the shop of Thomas Wedgwood, Crispin-street, and
there, James Richardson happening to drop in on business,
the prisoner anew bullied his former antagonist, and began to
show his" science." A scuffle ensued, and Phillips, after hav-
ing to pick himself up repeatedly, was again bundled
out, wearing, it would seem, some of the honours' of war.
Mr. Phillips was indignant; off he walked next morning to
Hand-court, Holborn. Mr. Gunn had been his printer on a
previous occasion, and to him he now had recourse to vent
the ebullition of his wrath. In he came in baste. " Gunn,
get your pen, come, here's a job; go on—Diabolical outrage."
The whole bill is as follows :

"Whereas, on the evening of Monday last. between nice
and ten o'clock, Jesse Phillips, manager to Edward Wedg-
wood Phillips, Esq., earthenware manufacturer, from Lan-
port, Staffordshire Potteries, 75, Bishopsgate-street Without,
was grossly and cowardly attempted to be murdered on the
premises of Thomas Wedgwood, Crispin-street, Spitaltields,
by James Richardson, Thomas Wedgwood, and others.
" This is to give notice that a handsome reward will be
given to all and any person, who witnessed the same, com-
ing forward to give their evidence before the grand jury.—
Apply to M. Jacobs, Esq., solicitor, Berwick-street, Soho.
" May 21, 1846.
printer, 7, Hand-court, Holborn."
Mr. Gunn, on looking at the manuscript, was rather
frightened at his own handiwork; but on seeing a scar on
Mr. Phillips's nose, he was induced to proceed with printing
off a thousand. Bill-sticke-s were now in request; three or
four, paste in hand, heralded the news through London—
the Eastern:Countiesißailway, Spitalfields, all the china-shops,
and even Westminster Hall, were visited with " posters ;"
and especial orders were given to stick lots of them up
round about "Tommie Wedgwood's and Jemmie Richard-
son's." The prisoner himself cabbed it through London,
the herald of his own ill-usage. Crowds of course read the
bill, and the neighbours were most of all amazed at seeing
Messrs. Wedgwood and Richardson going about their daily
business as usual, instead of being off to Amerie2.
The RECORDER. remarking on the case, gave it as his
opinion that the bill was libellous.

- The jury, after a short consultation, found the prisoner
guilty of libel.
The COURT, on bearing that the prisoner had been already
two months in custody, and believing he had had some ill-
usage, all of which, perhaps, did not appear on _the trial,
sentenced him to a month's imprisonment in Westminster
Bridewell, without hard labour.

Jeremiah Roscoe, 25, and Mary Roscoe, t 3, his mother,
were indicted for stealing some carpet, the property of Messis,
nollison and Co.

Mr. Clarkson prosecuted, and Mr. Doane appeared for the
defence.

These prisoners were tried last week in the New Court,
upon four indictments for robbing the same prosecutor of
property to a large amount; but, although there was very
little moral doubt of their guilt, and that the father of the
prisoner Jeremiah, who has absconded, was also concerned in
carrying on an enormous system of plunder upon the prose-
cutors, the legal evidence was insufficient to convict them,
and they were consequently acquitted.
The prisoners were also fortunate upon this indictment,
the jury again returning a verdict of Not Guilty.
The prisoner Jeremiah was then arraigned upon another
indictment, for stealing a mahogany table, the property of
the same prosecutor.
Under this indictment the jury returned a verdict of Guilty.
'Mr. CLARKSON said there was another indictment against
the mother for stealing a quantity of bed-ticking, but as he
did not think the legal evidence was sufficient to justify a
conviction he should not proceed with it, and a verdict of
Not Guilty was accordingly returned.
The RECORDER, in passing sentence, observed that although
the prisoner, Jeremiah Roscoe, was the only one against whom
a conviction had been returned, yet there was no doubt that
he and his father and mother had all been engaged in a most
extensive system of plunder, and that they bad actually been
trading upon the property stolen from their employers.
Under these circumstances he felt that he was bound to
inflict the full punishment fixed by the law for the offence
of larceny, which was, that he be transported for seven years.
Mr. CLARKSON, said the prosecutor had been rol)bed of
property amounting altogether in value to between twelve.
and fifteen hundred pounds, and he applied to the Court to
order such portion of it as had been discovered to be handed
over to them.
The RECORDER made the necessary order.

well for having made away with some of my landlady's
goods. I have, I solemnly declare, done nothing since
that I ought to be afraid or ashamed of. I met Brown,
who went by the name of Whisker in Westminster
Bridewell, and he told me that his mother lived in York,
and had 2001. a year there, and that he had respectable
connexions there. We agreed to take lodgings toge-
ther, and he wrote four letters on Wednesday, and on
Thursday he enclosed them in a letter to go to York.
He said that on Saturday he should receive 151. from
Messrs. Stringer and Booty, of Leadenhall street, and
also some money from Allen and Sons, and things would
be comfortable, bat he said he must go by the name of
Brown, and the letters must be left at South- street, at
the house of my former landlady, to whom I had taken
him the day before, and who acted kindly, although I
had treated her badly. On Saturday morning he went
to South-street, to receive the letters he expected. I
afterwards went home to Aldersgate-buildings, and
about 5 or 6 o'clock he came there, and said we must
leave these lodgings. I refused to leave them, and said
I had done nothing to make any one wish to
injure me. He then borrowed two shillings of
the landlady, and afterwards he borrowed my coat, in
order to pledge his own, to pay the landlady,
and he begged me to wait at home for him half an hour,
and I waited an hour and a half, bet he never came
back. I supposed that he had raised the money he
spoke of and was spending it, and accordingly I went to
inquire after him to get my coat back, and I was stopped
by this gentleman.
Aldermari WILSON asked Metcalf how it happened
that he could think, after the punishment of Bridewell,
of joining one whom he had met in the same place ?
Metcalf said he never had any idea of doing anything
wrong again, but he thought Whisker, who seemed to
have friends in good circumstances, not like himself, and
he (Metcalf) calculated upon assistance from that person
until he should get into some refuge.
Alderman WILSON asked Hart what business he had
been engaged in ?
Hart said that he had been a pork-butcher in Kent-
street, in the Borough, and in another very populous
neighbourhood.
Alderman WiLsox—What ! and after having carried
on business in such neighbourhoods you think you might
go to receive money honestly from a man you met in
the street ?
Hart declared that such was the case ; he had no
suspicion of the bad intention of the man whom he went
to oblige.
Mrs. Soden, of South-street Pentonville, stated that
Metcalf lodged Kith her about three months ago, and
on Wednesday last he came to her house with another
man. Metcalf ask( d her to forgive him, and said the
other man was a friend of his relations ; and intro-
duced him as Mr. Brown. Mr. Brown said he would un-
dertake to pay witness, as he understood Metcalf owed
her money, and she said it would be very acceptable.
On Saturday morning a letter came, which was
addressed to Mr. Brown, and he came about nine
o'clock and asked for it, and he seemed surprised that
there were not two. He.took away the letter, and said
he should call again to see whether the other he ex-
pected might arrive, but be never returned. Mr. Brown
opened the letter and read it to her. Here the witness
identified the letter which had been handed by Hart to
Messrs. Stringer and Booty.
Metcalf—l did go on Friday, by direction of Whisker,
to ask Mrs. Soden to take in some letters for him in the
name of Brown.
The prisoners were remanded till Tuesday.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

NEW COURT:
(Before the COMMON-SERGEANT, Alderman CHALLIS. &c.)
SYSTEMATIC PLUNDEE..—Matthew Heath, aged 26, was
indicted for stealing thirty-six silver spoons, thirty-six forks
of the same metal, and other articles, the property of his
master, W. S. Burton, Esq.; secondly, for stealing some
valuable property belonging to another employer,Mr.Cotton
The prisoner pleaded guilty.
It appearirg that the prisoner had been several times
before charged with similar offences in the houses of his re-
spective employers,
The COMMON-SERGEANT sentenced him to seven years'
transportation.
A respectably attired young man, named Thomas Jenkins,
was indicted for stealing a gold ring, the property of hisi late
master, Mr. Wray.
The prosecutor, a surgeon, stated that the prisoner was in
his employment for some time; that be left his service:
shortly after which he missed the ring; that it was traced
to the possession of the prisoner, who asserted that it did not
belong to him.
The witness was cross-examined at some length by Mr.
PARRY, who appeared for the defence, as to the identity of
the ring, which he alleged was in his possession for twenty
years. It appeared that the prosecutor had not paid the
prisoner any wages, and that the latter had instituted an
action against him for the recovery of the same, which was
still pending. He also admitted that he had not made the
present charze until the prisoner had entered his action.
The prosecutor, however, disclaimed all intention of having
preferred the present charge with the view of quashing the
action of the prisoner.
Mr. PARRY addressed the jury on behalf of the prisoner,
who was found Guilty.
The COMMON SERGEANT sentenced the prisoner to im-
prisonment, with hard labour, for six months.
.211 coy Bridgeford was indicted for stealing three table-
cloths, value 155., the property of Waiter Gibson, her master.
The prisoner, who is unmarried, pleaded guilty; but in
consequence of having received a good character, she was
sentenced to but three months' imprisonment.
Thomas Reynolds and Charles Wilson, whose names did
not appear in the calendar, were indicted for stealing at
Westminster, on the 4th instant, some silver spoons, the pro-
perty of Thomas Brown.
The prisoners pleaded 'guilty. Reynolds was not known
at the Court, but Wilson was, in consideration of which the
former was sentenced to three months' imprisonment, and the
latter to twelve months' imprisonment, with hard labour.

John Morgan was charged with stabbing a constable in the
employ of the Great Western Railway Company, named
o'l-1 ara.
The complainant said he went into the Cock public-house,
New-street, Berwick -street, about nine o'clock on Saturday
night, and when about to quit the house, the prisoner, who
was standing in front of the bar, with a number of other
young men, called out, "Here's a Great Western police-
man," and drawing a sword from a stick which he had in
his hand, made a pass at him and stabbed him in the right
shoulder.

Police-constable Wills said he took the prisoner into cus-
oody. He examined the complainant, and found a punctured
wound under the right arm.
The defence of the prisoner was that.the wound was acci-,
dental. He was flourishing about the sword at the time the
complainant passed him, and the point of the weapon went
again,t the constable.

The prisoner was committed to Newgate for trial.
WORSHIP-STREET.

Colonel Montmorency Tucker, , of her Majesty's service,
accompanied by Dr. V. 0. Zienkiewickzi, of Trofor-square,
Brompton, and several Polish officers, attended before Mr.
Broughton on Monday to apply for assault warrants against the
Rev. G. Roberts, curate of Christchurch, ; Mr. J.
Root, his clerk; Pilbrow, the parish beadle, and a police-con-
stable of the H division, under the following remarkable cir-
cumstances :

The Rev. Doctor stated that, between 4 and 5 o'clock on
the afternoon of Sunday last, be proceeded, in the company
of a large body of Polish gentlemen, to Spitalfields Church,
to take part in the funeral obsequies of a deceased officer
named Karozmarcki, who had greatly distinguished himself
in the service of his country; and that, previously to the
burial service being toad by the Rey. 51r. Roberts, the offi-
ciating clergyman, an application, was made to the clerk, on
the part of captain Ludovic Prusz3nski, for permission to
deliver a funeral oration over the grave of the deceased, in
accordance with the prescriptive usage of his country on
similar occasions. Not the least objection was offered to
this prop )sition, and after the clergyman had completed
the service, and retired with his officials, the chief
mourner, in his native language, commenced an ad-
dress commemorative of the - merits and services of
the deceased veteran ' • but, after proceeding for some time
without molestation, he was suddenly disturbed by the
abrupt interference of a policeman, who told him that he,
was directed to put an immediate stop to the proceedings,
and required the whole party to leave the ground. On an
intimation, however, that the ceremony would only occupy
a few minutes longer, the constable respectfully withdrew
to the spot where the clergyman and bis subordinates were
standing, and the speaker again proceeded with his oration, ,
but had,only uttered a taw sentences, when the parish-clerk,
accompanied by the same policeman and the beadle, forced
his way through the throng of mourners, and, having im-
peratively ordered him to desist, the whole three simultane-
ously seized hold of him, and dragged him forcibly from the
grave. Finding that they were precluded from discharging
the last offices to their deceased friend, without resorting to
an unseemly act of violence, they were induced to submit
passively to this vexatious treatment, and quitted the
ground ; but, as they could scarcely believe that such op-
pressive conduct was sanctioned by the laws of this country,
they had determined to seek redress at the hands of the ma-
gistrate.

Colonel Tucker here intimated that he bad been previously
an entire stranger to any of the complaining parties, but
happening to be accidentally passing the burial-ground at
the time in question, his attention was attracted by loud
cries of ' Shame" proceeding from a crowd of persons assem-
bled in front of it; and on entering the gates, he met the
body of Poles quietly departing, but expressing to each
other their sense of the indignity they had suffered, and ex-
claiming that they would have met with greater toleration
even in Russia than had been shown to them in this free
land. Having made himself acquainted with the facts of
the case from some unprejudiced bystanders, who evinced a
strong feeling of indignation at the scene .they had wit-
nessed, he felt himself called upon to `ibterfefe on behalf of
the complainants, who considered themselves greatly ag-
grieved at such a harsh prohibition of those usual military
obsequies which were universally tolerated in all other
countries.

Mr. BILOUGHTODT said that, without entering into the
question as to how far the clergyman was justified in direct-

iitg his subordinates to adopt the course they were alleged
to have taken, he certainly did not himself appear to have
committed any overt act that would justify a magistrate in
issuing process against Lim ; but with regard to the three
other parties, he should order summonses to be made out for
using a greater degree of violence than the circumstances
demanded.

Mr. -nobler thought perhaps the other officer in the case
might probably recollect the name.
Spurring, T 112, said he did not know the name.
Mr. Hobler then asked where the duplicates were found,
or by whom were they produced to the officer ?—Spurring
replied, that he believed they were taken out of a box by
Mr. Kennedy, who had laid them on a bed before Sergeant
Mount.

Mr. CLINIC said, the evidence showing that the tickets
were given up by Mr. Kennedy under the circumstance
stet( dby Mr. Jones, he should again remand the prisoners
until Wednesday.
The Earl of Cadogan said he trusted it would be sufficient
for him, at that moment, to bear his testimony to the high
respectability and excellent character of Mr. Kennedy; and
to state his belief that he was incapable of committing such
an offence as that with which he was charged.
" Mr. awe said it should have every weight in his judg-
ment on the ease.
Mr. Levies and Mr. Boone then entered into sureties in
the sum of 2001. each, and Mr. Kennedy in 4001. on his be-
kali; and the bail previously taken for Mr. M'Neill having
renewed their recognisances in the sum of 4001., for the ap-
pearance of the prisoner on Wednesday, both prisoners were
liberated.

Mr. nobler then applied for a copy of the evidence which
had been taken in the case, which was acceded to.

THE LATE MYSTERIOUS DEATH

OF A CLERGYMAN.
On Monday, at an inquest held by Mr. Wakley, M.P.,
at the Elephant and Castle, King's-road, St. Pancras,
on the body of a young man who had died insane in the
St. Pancras workhouse, the Coroner made some remarks
relative to the recent investigation instituted by the
board of directors and guardians upon the case of the
late Rev. Charles Cay, who, it will be remembered, ex•
pired, on the Bth instant, in St. Pancras Workhouse.
The Coroner (addressing Mr. J. H. Cooper, the sur-
geon of the St. Pancras Infirmary) said : Pray, Mr.
Cooper, what is the case of the Rev. Mr. Cay, which, it
appears, has caused so much sensation, and which is
alleged to be enveloped in so much mystery ?
Mr. Cooper said he did not consider there was any
mystery at all about it. It appeared that the Rev. Mr.
Cay was taken suddenly ill, and was removed to University
Hospital, and he (Mr. Cooper) having occasion to call
there to see Dr. Quain, was informed by the doctor that
there was a patient there which he must have removed to
the workhouse, as he was insane, and not a fit subject for
that hospital. He (Mr. Cooper) wasshown the rev. gentle-
man, whom he at once recognised as a client of his bro-
ther's, and to whom he wrote on the subject of his
removal. He was subsequently removed to the infirmary
of St. Pancras Workhouse, where he was placed under
his own medical treatment, but he refused nourishment
of every description, and died therein.
The CORONER said that some of the papers bad imputed
to him a refusal to hold an inquest in this case. Now,
he wished to observe, that the only information he had
received relative to the death of the Rev. Mr. Cay, was
a letter from Pratt-street, and he had not received
any official communication either from the board
of directors and guardians, or the summoning officer.
It could not therefore be said that he had refused to hold
an inquest. The letter from Pratt-street supposed that
the reverend gentleman had been taken ill in conse-
quence of the hot weather, and never even hinted that
he had died insane. There was not a word about in-
sanity.

Mr. Pitt, an officer of the St. Pancras board of di-
rectors, observed that although the board of guardians
had investigated the matter, it was more with a view to
investigate the conduct of their ovrn officers than as to
the death of the deceased gentleman, and they found
nothing, as far as he believed, in the evidence to render
it necessary to send to the coroner on the subject. The
matter, however, would not be dropped as it at present
stood, as a further inquiry by the board of directors
was about to -take plane.
The CORONER requested that Mr. Pitt would state to
the board of directors what had transpired that day,
and the position in v.hich he (Mr. Wakley) was placed
in reference to the affair.
