Mr. BAY read a letter from a Mr. Charles Edward
Stuart, enclosing 51. as his subscription to the Association.
Mr. O'CoNNELL stated that this gentleman was a
Scotehman, and a descendant of the unfortunate Charles
Edward Stuart, for some time King of Scotland.
Mr. GARDINER handed in 131. 2s. 6d. moral force
money from St. Paul's Ward.(llear, and laughter.)
Mr. O'CoNNELL then rose to make the speech of the
day. He said he wished to draw the attention of the
Association to the position of Ireland, and to congratu-
late her on her social and political position.—(Hear,
hear.) The first matter he had to allude to was a lament-
able one, and that was the state of Ireland as regarded
the failure of the potato crop. He hoped it would have
no bad effect on the people, or drive them to crime in
any locality. He would implore of them to commit no
violence, and he would promise them food.—(Cheers.)
, The Government would feed them, and he would assist
the Government ; and, in order to do so, he would move
" That it be referred to the committee to draw up and
publish a short synopsis of the mode necessary to be
adopted to procure relief from the Government in those
districts where it was required." .Now, although the
Act hid not reached Ireland yet, he could give them an
idea of what it was, which he was sure would lie satis-
factory.—(flear.) It was an unlimited Act ; by it
20,000,0001. of money could be raised, if necessary,
.to keep the people from starvation.—(Hear.)
It was not, however, to be given as a gift,
but was to be advanced as a loan, and to he repaid in
work.—(Cheers.) The Bill began by stating that if the
Lord-Lieutenant should hear of any district being par-
ticularly destitute, that he should step forward and put
the Act in force.—(Hear, hear.) The fir.t thing to be
done was to inform his Excellency—and anybody might
inform him, either clergy or laity—and then ho was to
perform his duty ; for instance, Lord Eksborough had
received 14 letters during the past week, and he had
proclaimed sessions to be held under the Bill for their re-
lief—the first time he (Mr. O'Connell) believed anything
good was ever proclaimed for Ireland.—(Cheers.) When
these proclamations were issued, the magistrates were to
meet, to set work on foot in their baronies, and the funds
would be supplied by Government to pay for them ; and
if the magistrates refused to do so, the Lord-Lieutenant
was enabled to refer to the Board of Works and procure
relief.—(Hear.\ By this, employment would be given,
which would be well paid for, and which would be un-
limited. Now, he (Mr. O'Connell) calculated that it
would take at least from 10,000,0004 to 13,000,0001. to
feed the Irish people that year. That, however, was a
subject which would be more properly calculated by the
committee which he had moved for to draw up appli-
cations for relief.—(Hear, hear.) It would, he
thought, take 10,000,0001., and it was not to be
paid back that year.—(Hear.) The Bill gave twelve
months for its repayment—gave a year's credit, so that
the poor people would have a chance of a good harvest to
pay for it, and the very poor would never have to pay
anything at all.—(Hear, hear.) All persons holding
tenements under 51., as rated by the poor-law, were to be
exempt from repayment; and persons holding tenements
above that sum so rated, would be obliged only to repay
three-eighths of the money borrowed, whereas the land-
lords would have to pay the other five-eighths. At this
the landlords of course had begun to grumble already,
and some of them he bdievedhad a good right to
complain,—he alluded to good landlords—but many of
them deserved it.—(Cheers.) He (Mr. O'Connell)
knew men who were good landlords, and took care of
their tenants; and they complained that the tenants of
bad landlords should come to them for assistance.—
(Hear, hear.) But still, although they had lost by it,
they would be , satisfied at bearing a burden which
all landlords would be obliged to bear.—(Cheers.)
Bad landlords would grumble at paying this money, but
he had a remedy for them, and he would tell them
what it was.—(Hear, hear.) If they would come to that
hall and read his son John's book, and see what England
owed Ireland, they would come and join him in look-
ing for justice, and thereby become good men and good
landlords.—(Cheers.) The English people were com-
plaining at their getting 1,000,000/. for drainage at 31
per cent.; but they did not remembt.r that they got, at
the same time, 2,000,000/ The Learned Gentleman
having stated that he believed it was the intention of the
Government to do all in its power for Ireland, if allowed
to do so, said he would support them, but still stated
that no concession or no remedy could supply the place
of repeal. He then, in conclusion, announced his inten
Lion of going to Darrynane in the course of the week, o

writing—to the Association every Monday, and prepar-
ing during his sojourn three Bills to be proposed next
session, for the regeneration of Ireland—(Cheers)—and
he also stated, that when he departed this world he hoped
that the only epitaph engraved on his tombstone would
be, " Here lies the man, who obtained repeal;" and if he
did not live to see it carried, " Here lies the man who
struggled all his life to obtain repeal."—(Loud cheers.)
.Mr. RAY then read a communication from the repealers
of Manchester, enclosing 17/. Os. 3d., and expressing
some very complimentary terms to Mr. O'Connell, and
wishes for his happiness.

A voice—Amen:
Mr. O'CoNziELL—I am very much obliged to that gra-
tuitous clerk.—(Laughter.) I move, sir, that the letter
from Manchester be inserted on the minutes.

The resolution was then put and carried.
Mr. O'CoNNELL then announced the state of the city
registry, showing a majority for repealers of 212.
Mr. N. MAHER handed in 151. from Dr. Sinnott, of
St. Peter's College, Wexford.—(Cheers.) The com-
munication enclosing the remittance was ordered to be

inserted on the minutes, and the thanks of the Associa-
tion passed to the writer.
A MEMBER, whose name we could not learn, here ad-
dressed the Association from the rear of the ehair, and
occupied no inconsiderable part of the time, if not the
attention, of the association. Referring to the late de-
parture of the " Young Ireland " party, he termed them
politicallymad who dared to dietate to the Liberator—the
greatest man in the world. What very fine boys they
were!—(Laughter.) The speaker concluded by express •
ing a hope, in the language of the poet, that he should
eeu his country—

" Great, glorious, and free,

" Drat flower of the earth and first gem of the sea."

Mr. RAY then read a letter from Mr. Michael Joseph
Barry, who requested his name to be struck off the roll,
but declined entering into the merits of the late question
of physical and moral force.
Mr. &CoNNELL said the letter was a most proper
one ; it was the letter of a gentleman whom he was
sorry to lose, but his name was already off:
Mr. RAY was proceeding to read a letter from Mr. D
Lane, expressing a similar wish, when
Mr. O'CONNELL said—Oh, he's off too !

Mr. STEELE handed in an address to Mr. O'Connell
from St. Luke's Ward, London, which was ordered to
be inserted on the minutes.
_ _

....,
Mr.- O'CONNELL having announced the rent for the
week to be 142/. 155., Counsellor Fitzpatrick was called
to the chair, when a vote of thanks was passed to Mr.
Charles O'Connell, ani the meeting adjourned for a
week.

THE ALLEGED ROBBERY OP NINETEEN BRASS
GUNS FROM WOOLWICH ARSENAL—A considerable
time since, nineteen brass howitzers were missing from
the stores in the Royal Arsenal, and although a strict
inquiry was made at the time, they were not traced.
Suspicion, however, fell on two privates named Freeman
and Campion, of the Royal Sappers and Miners, who
were apprehended, and taken before Mr. Grove, the sit-
ting magistrate, and underwent a rigid examination, but
were ultimately discharged, nothing being discovered to
impeach their character. The Board of Ordnance then
offered a reward of 1001. for the recovery of the property
and apprehension of the thieves. It has since been dis-
covered that the guns were not stolen or lost, but " that
they had been cast into a portion of the Nelson monu-
ment, and that through an error they were omitted to
be entered in the official returns." It is but justice to
state that these innocent men have been discharged from
the service, after twenty-one years' service, upon a
liberal pension, and are now employed in the same esta-
blishment.
THE PONIATOWSKI GEMS.—On Tuesday Mr. Price
submitted to public competition, at •the auction rooms,
Chancery-lane, Mr. J. Tyrrell's entire collection of
proof impressions from the antique gems of the late
Prince Stanislaus Poniatowski. They consisted of very
beautiful medallion casts of the principal scenes and
events throughout the "Iliad," the " Odyssey," and the
" /Eneid," together with the principal fabulous feats of
the mythological characters of ancient Greece and Rome.
The first portion offered related chiefly to the higher
divinities, and the whole of the lots of the first-class
realised seventy-two guineas.
SUPPOSED CASE OP POISONING.-011 Tuesday Mr.
Baker resumed and concluded an inquiry at the Cock
and Magpie, Worship-street, St. Luke's, on the body of
Mrs. Mary Ann Stroud, aged forty-seven, who formerly
kept an eating-house in the above street. The evi-
dence adduced was very lengthy, from which it ap-
peared that on Saturday last deceased was suddenly
seized with dreadful pains and vomited much. Sus-
picion arose that she had been poisoned, and a surgeon
was sent for, before whose arrival she had expired. Mr.
Bowyers, the surgeon, had made a post modem exami.
nation, and stated that her death was produced by nature.

A NUMBER OF PIGEONS DESTROYED BY FIRE.—
About twelve on Monday night a tire broke out in the
pigeon shed belonging to Mr. Maynard, hoop binder,
Ilodden's-place, King-street, Old Gravel-lane, Wapping.
The fire burned through the roof and destroyed a large
number of valuable pigeons, notwithstanding every
effort was made to save thaw. It is not known how the
fire originated. The building sustained considerable
injury.
SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST A SOLDIER —At the
County Office, at Rochester, on Monday, the magistrates
were engaged for some time in the mvesUguLiou ut
case, at the instance of Colonel Weare, Commandant of
the Provisional Battalion, against George Cupitt, a
drummer in the 9th Regiment, which it was at first sup-
posed would end in a charge of forgery, the prisoner
having obtained 103. from Barnet Harris, a clothe-
- desler in Chatham, by means of a forged order, pur-
portiog to come from Sergeant Goodall, of the 31st Re-
iment, an invalid in the Military Hospital at Fort
I'itt. The prisoner was committed for trial at the next
Quarter Sessions at Maidstone on a charge of obtaining
money under false pretences.
TUE BALLOON ASCENT AND DESCENT.—The
Royal Nassau balloon, which on Monday night ascended
-with Mr. Green, the veteran aeronaut, and eleven ladies
sad gentlemen, from Cremorne Gardens, and by which
Ware suspensed two parachutes, in each of which was a
monkey, went in a northerly direction. After attaining
an a.ltitude of about a mile, the aerial machine got into an
easterly current, when it was carried towards Hendon,
where it descended in a field in Hazel.green, after a
rather boisterous passage. On the separation of the
paraeltutt,s there was no apparent oscillation of the bal-
loon. Thft'e fell in a field the property of Mr. Rubigall,

THE LATE

AT COUTTS'

RE-EXAMINATION OF CAPT. RICHARDSON.
MANSION-HOUSE.

Yesterday being the day appointed for the re-examina-
tion of Capt. William Richardson, late chairman of the
Tenbnry, Worcester, and Ludlow Railway Company,
and who is at present a prisoner, charged with having
altered a cheque, dfawn by the company on Coutts'
bank for 101, to a sum of 5,0001, and appropriating the
proceeds to his own uses, the court was crowded at an
early hour. Captain Richardson arrived at the Mansion-
house, from the Compter Prison, at a quarter-past 11 ;
and soon after 12 o'clock (the morning cases having
been disposed of by Mr. Alderman Wilson, who had
attended an hour earlier fOr that purpose) the Lord
Mayor entered, accompanied by Mr. Alderman Gibbs
and Mr. Alderman, Wilson, and took his seat on the
bench.
It will be remembered by our readers that the pri-
soner had drawn a cheque on Coutts' bank in favour of a
messenger of Mr. Howells (a person employed on the
Stock Exchange), which, after receiving his own signa-
ture as chairman of the company, was then sent to two
of the directors for their names, and afterwards re-
turned to the prisoner. The amount in the cheque it
was ascertained had been altered to 50001, which sum
was paid in five notes at Coutts's ; and the prisoner in a
few days after got 3,000 in gold at the Bank of England,
for some of the notes received upon the cheque. The
prisoner was soon afterwards apprehended for the
forgery.
Mr. Basile, of Bushe and Mullin's, conducted the
prosecution ; and Mr. Clarkson, with Mr. Wolff, from
the office of Mr. Flowers, attended for the prisoner.
At half-past twelve Captain Richardson entered the
bar. He looked very confident.
Mr. Skinner, 138 Dover-street, said he was clerk to the
Wexford, Waterford, and Wicklow Railway. Captain
Richardson is a director of that railway. Witness knew
him since October last. He remembered going to
the Bank of England for him with a
note for a thousand pounds. That was the
only note for such an amount he had
gone with in the month of July. At the time he re-
ceived that note, his (witness's) name was written on it.
He believed that the note produced was the note received
from Captain Richardson. Witness was directed to get
it changed, receiving 500 iu notes and 500 sovereigns. He
went to the Bank of England and got it thus changed.
He delivered that amount to Captain Richardson in the
board-room, No. 3, Exchange-buildings.
Mr. Frederick William Cruse, clerk in the issue-
office, Bank of England—He remembered last witness
coming to him and getting a thousand pound note
changed, he receiving 5001, in notes and 5001. in sove-
reigns.
Mr. George Brown, clerk at the London and County
Bank—He knew Captain Richardson, but not previous
to the 19th August. On that day prisoner came to the
bank, and went into the manager's room. He soon came
out again, and asked notes for 8001. in gold. The
notes produced are those he gave the prisoner for gold.
The prisoner said that the manager had given permission
to give notes for the gold.
William Abbot, messenger, 26, Cornhill—Knew
the prisoner, Captain Richardson, having been employed
by him occasionally. On or about the 20th of August
the prisoner gave him a bag containing eight hundred
sovereigns, and directed him to go to the Bank of Eng-
land and get notes for it. He received five one hundred
pound notes, and six fifties. He (witness) gave the
name Captain William Richardson, 3, Royal Exchange-
buildings. He delivered the notes to Captain Richard.
son, whom he met on the north side of the Exchange,
coming towards the Bank.
Mr. Thomas Ager, clerk in the Bank of England, re-
ceived gold to the amount of eight hundred sove-
reigns, for which he gave notes to the same amount.
The notes produced were the same that he had given to
the porter (the last witness) whom he had seen before.
Mr. Archibald Griffiths, clerk in the issue office of the
Bank of England—He had made an entry in the book
for notes which were exchanged for 2001. in gold.
Mr. Clarkson —That will be no evidence.
Mr. Bushe—The notes were found in Captain Rich-
ardson's house.
Witness continued—The notes produced were the
same.
Mr. Fry, one of the solicitors to the Company, was
called into the witness box, but he was objected to by
Mr. Clarkson, on the ground that the witness was at
that time acting as solicitor to the company, of which
Mr. Richardson was an integral part.
Mr. Clarkson afterwards gave way until the ques-
tions should be asked.
Mr. Bushe—Were you at a meeting of the directors
on the 25th August ?
Mr. Clarkson—Was Captain Richardson then in the
chair ? Witness—He was.
Ma. Clarkson—Were you acting throughout as the
solicitor for the company ? Witness—Yes, throughout.
Mr. Clarkson Then I object to any further
questions.
Mr. Bushe then replied.
Mr. Clarkson rejoined, and it was decided that
the witness should not be examined.
Mr. Robinson, clerk in the issue department, Bank
of England.—On the 20th August, he was applied to to
give notes for 2001. in gold, which he did in one note for
100/. and two notes fur 501. The name given was Wm.
Richardson. The notes were the same.
Mr. Bushe stated that a communication had been re-
ceived from the manager of the National Bank in Ire-
land, stating that he could not attend to give evidence
until he received tho sanction of the directors.
Benjamin Soares Willis, clerk in the office of Smith,
Payne, and Cu., proved receiving a letter from Captain
Richardson, requesting that they would credit his agent
with 300/. Tee letter was dated, Dublin, 3d of July.
Mr. Stevenson, 37, Upper Grosven ,r-street, one of the
directors of the Tenbury, &c., Railway—Knew Captain
Richardson. He attended several of the boafd meetings
in June and July. He did not recollect being present
when three cheques were drawn fur 10/, one fur 100/,
and one for 201. He did not think he was
present. He was present at a meeting on the
13th of July. On that day there was no minute regard-
ing cheques. He found that on the next day (July 15th)
he was not present. He was confident he was not pre-
sent. He knew he was not, because Sir Wm. Young
was there, and he (Mr. Stevenson) had not seen him for
a twelvemonth. (A letter was handed to witness.) He
had written that letter, but there was no address on it.
Mr. Pulsford, secretary to the company, was called
—The letter produced was addressed to him, and he
received it on the 16th of July. He found that on the
15th there were present at a meeting held or the directors,
among others Mr. Stevenson and Sir William Young.
He put these names down before he left the board-room.
Mr. Stevenson carne in very late. He could not say how
long he stayed there. On that day he laid no cheques
before Mr. Stevenson for signature. On looking up on
the 16th he found that Mr. Stevenson was not present.
Cross-examined by Mr. Clarkson—He would not
swear that Mr. Stevenson was present or not on the 13th.
By Mr. Bushe--On the 15th that gentleman appeared
to be present by the entry of his name by
witness. On the 13th, 15th, and 16th, Captain Richardson
was present, and the three cheques contained in the
letter received by witness from Mr. Stevenson were
placed before the board. He handed the cheque for
1001 to Mr. Whittal, then present. He returned the
20/. cheque himself, and handed the 101. cheque to
Captain Richardson. On handing the 101. cheque to
Captain Richardson, he said, "Shall I get you cash for
this, sir ?" He said, "No ; let it go in its own legiti-
mate way to the person it is drawn.for."—(The letter
from Mr. Stevenson was then read by Mr. Clarkson.)
Mr. Pulaford's evidence, taken on a former day, was
read over.
Examination resumed—He had never seen the cheque
for 101. since.
Mr. Stevenson recalled—He found the minutes of the
7th of July on the, bock, but he had no recollection of
being present. On looking at his memorandums
he believed that he was present. On that day he did
not sign cheques,neitherdid he on the 13th sign cheques.
He received a letter from Mt. Pulsford inclosing three
cheques for 201., 10/., and 100/. He received that letter
about June or July, and after signing them returned
them to Mr. Pulsford. The name Thomas Stevenson
to the cheque for 5,000/. was in his handwriting,
as were the chorines for 1002 and 201. He never
did sign cheques on Messrs. Coutts for amounts
not filled up. He recollected a cheque to be changed
to No. 11, and he believed it was for a small amount.
He could swear positively that one of them was for a
small amount. There were signatures to all the
cheques before he signed them.
Cross-examined by Mr. Clarkson—On his solemn
oath he had never signed blank cheques on Coutts for
this company. In the month of June, or about that
time, Captain Richardson called on him, and
had an interview. To the best of his belief
Captain Richardson did not hand over the chcque-book,
the blank cheque being signed by Mr. W hitmore.
Again, he said that he did not at any time sign
cheques where the sums were not filled up. He
had no recollection of Mr. Richardson's saying
" Here are some cheques, the amounts being
blank, which , Mr. Whitmore has signed, have
you any objection to do the same? He never did sign
such cheques. He had frequently refused to sign cheques
unless other names were affixed.
Mr. Clarkson then addressed the Bench, and contended
that this offence did not amount to anything which
the ingenuity of Mr. Bushe could bring within the ope-
rations of the statute of forgery. They had already
ascertained that the cheque was signed by the persons
empowered to do so. He would not refer to Mr.
Steveusons's evidence at that time, because that gentle-
man had that day sworn that he had not attended a
meeting which it was perfectly evident he did attend.
Now the only question for the chief magistrate to
consider was this—was the cheque which now stood
patent for 5,0001. the very cheque which had been
drawn for 101. ? He contended that, for the
purpose of proving. forgery, the cheque, or
instrument itself, should bear some evidence, however
slight, that some alteration had been made in it. By the
evidence, it appeared that the names as affixed to the
cheques were in a different order than as they
appeared on the cheque for 5,000/. Mr. Bushe
could tell them, no man could tell better, that
it was not in the power of any chemist in London
to remove what had been before written, and to substi-
tute what they now found therein; and if such were
the case, then he contended that this offence, however
dross a fraud it might be deemed, could not be tortured
into forgery. If his Lordship was satisfied that the
minor offence was only committed, then he would hum-
bly beg that his client might be admitted to bail in such
an amount as his Lordship might think proper.
Mr. Bushe said that the prisoner was indebted for the
position is which he stood to his own declarations.
He himself stated that a forgery had been committed
by the alteration of 101. to 5,0004 he repeated dila states

ment more than once, and therefore he thought it would
be his Lordship's bounden duty to refer the matter
under its present aspect to another tribunal. He con-
tended that if the 10/. cheque had been altered, and the
prisoner himself said it was altered, then he thought
the argument a logical one that as the mass of evidence
pressed against the prisoner, he should be sent fur trial
for the graver offence. He should, however, with his
Lordship's leave, crave a remand for a week to get addi-
tional and important evidence from Liverpool and
Dublin.

Mr. Fry was recalled, and stated, that he had used
every effort to ascertain whether Mr. Whitmore could
be had to attend before his Lordship, but
he could only ascertain generally that he was abroad.
His LORDSHIP did not think that Mr. Whitmore's evi-
dence was necessary, and his decision was, therefore,
that the prisoner be committed fur trial at the approach
ing sessions.

-Mr. Clarkson most earnestly requested that Mr. Whit-
more should be had, in order that his evidence should be
had on the depositions. He did not think it fair to the
prisoner that further and new witnesses should be heard
when the case came before a jury.
Mr. Bushe said that if the reports which appeared in
the newspapers did not bring Mr. Whitmore here, he
believed that no other power could.
Mr. Clarkson said that might possibly induce him to
stay away.—(Laughter.) Be repeated, that it was the
duty of the prosecutors to produce Mr. Whitmore.
The case was ultimately remanded till Friday, the
18th instant.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, September 9
(Before Mr. Commissioner PANE.)

PROOFS UNDER -ILLEGAL CONTRACTS.-IN RE TIPPLE

The bankrupt, who had carried oninisin;s;as—;
woollen-draper and hatter at Norwich, came up to pass
his last examination, which was opposed by the as-
signees, on the ground that the bankrupt's accounts were
insufficient.

A proof was tendered against the estate to the amoun
of 5501. 9s. 3d. under an award.

The Learned CommissioNEß, after perusing the award,
said that it was one of the strangest documents which
had ever come before kim. It appeared that there had
been some illegal transactions in adulterating tobacco,
and the bankrupt bad received money on account of the
claimants in respect thereof. The bankrupt, however,
had set up the defence that the contract was founded on
an illegal transaction.

The-Soucrron said that it was denied that such a plea
had been put in.
The Learned COMMISSIONER said that he could only
go by the award tendered in support of the proof, and a
more unintelligible piece of legal jargon could not well be
imagined; it went on to say that a general verdict had
been entered for the plaintiffs, subject to the reference,
but that if the award was entirely for the defendant,
then the verdict should be entered for the plaintiffs for
only 40s. debt, and is. damages. In the eye of reason
and common sense this was an absurdity, and be would
not admit a proof on such an award without an expla-
nation; he did not know whether the absurdity arose
from a form, or whether it was erroneous—the award on
the face of it appeared to be erroneous.
The SOLICITOR to the assignees said it was a most ex-
traordinary form, and was p,rhaps framed to meet the
pleadings, as it was suggested that the bankrupt could
be charged with the amount received as agent, notwith-
standing any illegal eonduct on the part of the plaintiffs.
The proof was rejected, and the case adjourned fur
the bankrupt to furnish further accounts, his expenses
being treble the amount of his profits; he had however,
kept the usual books, and said that he would be able to
show that the expenditure arose from losses.
The COMMISSIONER said a bankrupt was not required
to justify himself on that account at the examination ;
it was a subject for inquiry when he applied fur his cer-
tificate.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
Before the Assistant-Judge, . Mr. Sergeant ADAMS,
and a Bench of Magistrates.)
The September general session of the peace for the
counts of Middlesex commenced on Tuesday at Hicks's
Hall, Clerkenwell-green. The calendar contained the
names of 118 prisoners for trial, of whom 100 were
committed charged with felony. Of that number twenty.
two prisoners were between the age of 16 and 10 years.
A NARROW ESCAPE.—Previous to the opening of the
court the prisoners whose trials are expected to come on
in the course of the day are conveyed from the prison
ran to a cell beneath the court, to which there is a com-
munication by a private staircase. By some accident
the door opening into the dock was left unbolted, and
one of a batch of prisoners just placed in the cell, after
reconnoitring the position, finding egress easy, and the
coast clear, quietly put on his hat, and passing through
the court, succeeded in making his escape. The pri-
soner's name was Rice. He was charged with stealing
goods to the value of -10 s., and, it appeared, was au old
offender, having been previously convicted on two occa-
sions. He would doubtless, if again found guilty, have
been transported for ten years.
JUVENILE OFFENDERS.— William Brown, aged ten
years, was indicted for stealing a cap, value 2s. 6d., the
property of George Massey, the elder. The prisoner
pleaded Guilty.
The Learned JUDGE briefly referred to the previous
sentences which had been pronounced upon this boy for
criminal offences of a comparatively trivial character,
and which he had committed in all probability from the
absence of parental control and instruction, for he was
unfortunately an orphan, and appeared neither to have
friends nor relatives to interest themselves in his behalf.
These were circumstances which led the Court particu-
larly to cotninisserate the case, and to regret the state
of the law which rendered it imperative upon the Bench
to consign the child to a prison. There was only one
satisfaction which the magistrates of the county expe-
rienced, that they had done everything which was in
their power to render the time passed by such children
within the walls of their county gaols of advantage to
their intellectual, moral, and religious improvement, but
that object it was most difficult to effect without losing
sight of the discipline and wholesome fear which should
be inseparable from criminal punishment. The truth
was, the two objects were incompatible ' • but until the
Legislature provided asylums proper for the reception of
this class of children, the Court had no other course
to adopt. They had established good schools in their
county gaols, but if a proper education, with other ad-
vantages, were given to all criminal children of tender
years incarcerated in them, it was impossible not to see
that that would be a premium for the commission of
offences, that the gaols would be divested of a wholesome
terror, and diverted from the purpose for which they
were erected and maintained.
The prisoner was sentenced to imprisonment for six
calendar months in the Westminster Bridewell.
Henry Fackrell, aged 12 years, was indicted for steal-
ing four sover.-igns and other moneys, the property of
Joseph Fackrell.
The boy pleaded Guilty.
The Learned JUDGE inquired into the circumstances
of the case, and finding that the prosecutor was the
child's own father, he questioned him as to his method
of training the boy. The father said he had educated
him, and that he had previously displayed thievish
propensities. The mother was living, and he had three
children younger and one older than the prisoner,
The Bench consulted, after which,
The Learned JUDGE said that he was almost inclined
whenever a parent thought it necessary to bring his
child to that-court, to pass a very severe sentence. Some
parents thought it a very the thing to bring their erring
children before a magistrate, and rid themselves of the
responsibility of their punishment and reformation, for-
getting that by so doing they stamped the brand of a
criminal upon them for life. The Court sentenced the
prisoner to confinement with hard labour in the House
of Com ction for six calendar months, one month of
which was to be spent in solitary confinement.
ROBBERY AT Bow Fara.— William Warren was in-
dicted for stealing a watch, value 3Z, the property of
Henry Trower, from his person, upon the 25th of Au-
gust last.
Mr. O'Brien defended the prisoner.
The prOsecutor, accompanied by his wife, it appeared,
walked into the fair in the evening, and had ni,t been
there many minutes when they were surrounded by a
gang of ruffians, who hustled the prosecutor, and upon
his attempting to get away from them one of their num.
ber seized his watch chain, and drawing his watch out
of his pocket, twisted it ff the guard. He never lost
sight of the prisoner till he gave him into custody.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty.
The Learned JUDGE said that he was a very notorious
character, and had only recently been sentenced to nine
months' imprisonment. From the circumstances which
bad come to his knowledge, he evidently belonged to a
desperate gang. The sentence of the Court was, that he
be transported beyond the seas for the term of ten
years.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
BOW-STREET.
William Hutton, a shoemaker, who had been re-
manded from on Tuesday week upon a charge of cutting
and wounding Henry Figgius, " whereby his life was
endangered," was again brought before Mr. Jardine this
morning, and finally examined, the wounded man being
so far recovered as to be able to attend and give evi-
dence.

He stated that on the day the ofence was committed
(Sunday week) he was so drunk that he could not dis-
tinctly remember the whole of what occurred. He
lodged with the prisoner, and when he came home at
night, having been out the whole day, they had a
quarrel, which originated in play, and the prisoner
stabbed him and ran away. The landlord of the house
came to see what was the matter, and met the prisoner
01 the stairs. He brought him back and sent for a
policeman, and witness was taken to the hospital.
The landlord of the house corroborated the latter part
of this statement.

Policeman F 55 took the prisoner into custody. He
found a shoemaker's knife, which he now produced,
lying under a chair. It was covered with blood. On
the way to the station the prisoner said it served the
scoundrel right, and if he had had any fire-arms he
would have shot him. He told the inspector "It you
had given me the same provocation I would have served
you the same."

Mr. Stephens, house-surgeen of King's College Hos-
pital, described the injuries received by the first witness.
Ho had five wounds in the chest, one of which was about
an inch deep. Another would entirely have killed him.
had it not been stopped by the breast-bone. Others went
within the eighth of an inch of vital parts. As it was,
he was likely to recover in a short time.
The prisoner said that when Figgins came home ho
said he would have a row, and attempted to provoke him
into a quarrel. He (prisoner) was determined not to
have any quarrel, but, after being knocked down once,
and after submitting to a great deal of abuse, he snatched
up the first thing that came to his hand, which
happened to be the knife, to defend himself.
He would sot have used the knife but that

Figgins was. a much strong.r man than he. (The
prisoner is a very small man, Figgins is rather larger.)
Mr. JARDINE having caused' the evidence and the
prisoner's
defence to be taken down in the usual man-
ner, committed him for trial.
MARLBOROUGH-STII7IET.
Joke Jones was placed at the bar, this morning,
charged with being drunk and abusing the passers-by
and placing the life of his child in danger, in Water-
loo-place, on Tir slay afternoon.
Constable C 42 said his attention was called by a
lady, between three and four o'clock, to the defendant.
He was drunk, and pushed the people off the pavement,
offering to fight some of them; but at one time, as he
was about to cross the road, he said to the child in his
hand, "You young rascal, I'll shove you under the
' buss.' " He gave the child a push. which very nearly
threw him below the wheel of the omnibus passing at
the time.
Constable A 143 corroborated the last witness, and
said complaints had been made to him of the defendant
by two ladies successively.
The defendant, when asked what he had to say for su
using his boy, said, "He is my only child."
Mr. MALTBY ordered him to pay 51., or go to prison
for two months, fur ill-using his child.
Helen Moriarty, a married woman, was placed at the
bar on Tuesday morning, charged with stealing thirty• six
yares of printed cotton from the shop of Mr. Humphreys,
169, Oxford-street,
Mr. Humphreys produced a piece of printed cotton
marked with a large ticket "Hoyle's•pattern," and said
it was his. It had been brought to his shop on Tues-
day night, about seven o'clock, by a policeman. It had
been safe on a chair at his shop door half an hour before,
George Saunders, 221 11, said he met the deft ndant in
Duke-street, Manch ester- square, about half- past six,
carrying something heavy in her apron, and a child
above it. The constable suspected her, and opened the
bundle, which contained the piece of print produced. In
answer to his questions, she said a woman had given her
the cotton in a shop down the road, but could not say
what shop. As be saw the ticket still on it he took her
to the station-house; but on the way there she said there
were three gown pieces in it, and she had paid 9s. for
them, and at the station-house she said she had paid ss.
for the goods.
The defendant was committed to take her trial at the
Clerkenwell sessions.

LAMBETH.
John Pile, a stalwart countryman from Wiltshire, was
charged by the driver of cab No. 1,501, with having
tendered bad money in payment of his fare.
Richard Mason, the driver, stated that he had taken
the prisoner from the tunnel at Rotherhithe to Brixton-
hill, and that on arriving at their destination he refused
to pay the fare of 55., and ultimately tendered a tunnel
medal, in place of a sovereign, on Which he carried him
to the station.
On an inquiry by the MAWSTRATE, the prisoner re-
plied, with the utmost simplicity, that he had come to
London in search of work on Sunday a. ternoon, with 71. in
his pocket, 21. of which had been dissipated by Tuesday,
when he went to the Thames Tunnel, where he re-
mained till all the boats were gone. He then took the
cab to Brixton-hill, and on putting his hand into his
coat pocket, found to his great surprise that lie had only
a few halfpence, instead o several shillings. He then
applied to his watch-pocket, where he kept the gold
which he had received in change for a 51. note in the
morning, and tendered what he thought to be a
sovereign. He had been drinking, and was quite un-
conscious of what had become of his money.
The charge was dismissed, the prisoner haiing given
a respectable reference, on the understanding that the
fare and the cabman's time should be paid.
WORSHIP-STREET.
William and Reuben Bray, two muscular labouring
men, and Mary Anne Bray, wife of the first-named pri-
soner, were placed at the bar for final examination,
charged with having assaulted and wounded police-
constab.e Hussey, H 214, whereby his life had been
seriously endangered.
Several witnesses were examined, from whose evidence
it appeared, that between five and six o'clock in the
evening of Tuesday, the 26th ult., as police-constable,
K 196, was on duty in Manchester-street, Bethnal-green,
he observed the three prisoners knocking violently at
the doors of several houses, and on requesting them to
desist, he was attacked by one of the male prisoners
with such ferocity that he telt it necessary to hasten off'
for assistance. Having met the constable Hussey in an
adjoining street, they both returned to the spot, where
the prisoners still kept up the same riotous behaviour,
and the second officer was about to seize the most violent
of the three, when the prisoner, William Bray, wrested
his truncheon from him, and struck him such a violent
blow on the bead that he was felled to the ground, and
rendered insensible. Finding himself unable to contend
against such powerful assailants, the other officer has-
tened once more to procure further aid, but before he
returned several other policemen very opportunely ar-
rived, and touud the three prisoners beating and kick•
ing the officer Hussey, who was lying on the ground
completely helpless and covered with blood. After a
severe struggle the prisoners were ultimately over-
powered, but it required the united efforts of nearly a
dozen policemen to convey them to the station-house.
Mr. Mears, the divisional surgeon, described the na-
ture of the injuries the officer had received, from the
effects of which he had ever since been confined to his
bed, and continued for several days in a state of immi-
nent danger.
Mr. Heritage, who appeared for the defence, strongly
urged the Magistrate to deal summarily with the case,
in consideration of the previous good character of the
prisoners, but
Mr. BROUGHTON said that the offence was of far too
serious a character to be summarily disposed of, and he
should commit the two male prisoners to Newgate for
the assault, but permit the woman to be discharged.
In the course of the day, Mr. Thomas Grueber, soli-
citor, of Billiter-square, accompanied by two of the
churchwardens of Sc. Matthew, Friday-street, who were
alleged to have sanctioned the removal of the extensive
deposits of broken coffins and human bones from the
vaults of the church, in Friday-street, to the field ad-
joining the Regent's Canal, where they were found pub-
licly exposed, presented himself in Court, and intimated
to the Magistrate, that in consequence of the serious
statements which had appeared in the public papers
relative to the above transaction, his clients had felt it
their duty to come forward at once, and express their
readiness to furnish every information on the subject
_whedever their attendance was required, and they confi-
dently expected to put quite a different complexion on
the case, and to afford such an explanation as would be
considered in every respect satisfactory.
Mr. BROUGHTON said that it would be premature at
present to offer any observations on the subject, as the
investigation would be resumed on Friday next, when
every opportunity would be afferded them to offer what-
ever explanation it was in their power to furnish.
WOOLWICH,
Captain John Patterson, of the collier brig Volunteer,
from Cardiff, appeared to show cause why he refused to
pay three of his crew, named Charles Smith, John
Chapman, and John Thomson, able seamen, their full
wages.
Charles Smith, who acted as spokesman for his mess-
mates, stated that on the 10th of August they shipped
on board the Volunteer at Cardiff, for L ;radon and back,
at 41. 10s. per month. They signed articles on these
terms. As soon as the brig reached London the master
(Patterson) discharged them, leaving them to get back
to Cardiff in the best way they could. The defendant
offered them the wages due to them, but left them to get
home to their wives and families as they pleased. On
telling the defendant of the agreement entered into he
threatened to kick them over the side of the vessel.
Captain Patterson produced the articles, and said that
it would be seen nothing was mentioned of the voyage
back at all, and that there was their mark attached to
it; he had only acted in accordance with his orders from
the owners.
Smith raid the captain read the articles over to them
very differently, and they signed their marks (not being
able to read and write) with the understanding that the
%oyage was from Cardiff to London and back. Tnis was
always their practice. They had been five days withou
money to purchase food.
The defendant at length offered to ship them home,
but they refused to go after such treatment. The cap-
tain said he was bound to act by the magistrate's deci-
sion, but the owners desired him to discharge them at
the end of the voyage.
Mr. Tnaiee said that articles ought to be read over in
the presence of the crew, then defendant could prove by
one or more of them. The magistrate then ordered the
residue of the wages to be paid.
The balances being paid, the parties withdrew.
HAMMERSMITH.
John Welham alias Greenwood, George More, George
Gardener, James Ga,clener, and John Jackson, alias
Smith, five members of a gang of thieves, known as
" Greenwood's Westminster Gang," were brought up
before Mr. G. Clive, the sitting magistrate, for final
examination on the following charge of burglary:—
Thomas Sapp deposed that he was one of the park-
keepers, residing at Hyde-park-gate, Kensington. About
five o'clock on the morning of Tuesday, the Ist inst., he
left the gate-house and went within the park, by the
side of the high road, to unlock the gate by the Half-
way house. On the way he saw the prisoners Jackson
and More by the nursery of Messrs. Gray and Co., on
the other side of the high road. The prisoner More had
a picture in a gilt frame under each arm, and Jackson
was on a little before him. On passing Park-house
they turned into the meadow at the side o the road on
which Ennismore-gardens are about to be built, and as
he passed he saw them standing behind some pales. Wit-
ness then went on, and unlocked the gate by the Half-
way-house, and as he returned he saw the same two pH.-
soners together at the end of Park-house-wall, without
the pictures. They then came out into the high road
again, and emit down it until they met the other
three prisoners, a distance of about one hun-
dred and fifty yards, and after a little conversation they
turned back, the five together, and walked towards the
meadow. Witness was at that time unlocking the small
gate opposite the Countess of Blessington's, after which
he went home and unlocked the carriage gates. He
then went out into the high road, when he saw the five
prisoners coming beck from the direction of the meadow
along the high road until they came to Gore lane, lead
ing to the Brompton-road, down which they turned,and
witness lost sight of them. Witness went immediately
in search of a policeman. Witness assisted the police to
search in the meadow for the pictures, when they found
the two produced under a large mortar board, which was
covered over with a number of tiles. Witness had no
doubt but they were the two pictures he saw the prisoners
More and Jackson carrying. Witness also found one of
the handsome china chimney ornaments and the roll of
brown holland,produced in Hyde-park, within the rail-
ings, just under the coping stone. All the prisoners
had passed and repassed the spot.
Dunbar, T 91, corroborated the evidence of the pre-
vious witness as to the finding of the pictures. Witness
also found the ivory work-box produced, and in it

several letters addressed to " Henry Duesbry, Esq.,
No. 1, Upper Gore, Kensington." Witness accordingly
went to Mr. Duesbury's house, which was about 200
yards distant. lie found one of the drawing-room win-
dows open, and on going into the drawing-room he saw
both foot and hand marks on the window-sill, both out.-
side and inside.

Amos, T 151, deposed to having assisted the two
previous witness in searching the meadow, both
on the morning of the burglary and on the
following day. On the latter, witness found the china
standing dish, the chimney ornament, the card case .four
D'Oyleys, and four damask table napkins, produced.
The latter have Mr. Duesbury's name on them.
Sergeant Skelton, B 4, gave testimony as to the ap-
prehen ion of the prisoners.
Sarah Huiles deposed that she was cook in the ser-
vice of Mr. Duesbury. The drawing-room windows
look into the high road. On the Monday night witness
shut the drawing-room doors. It was not the custom
to shut the drawing-room window, it being sixteen feet
from the ground. • The next morning she found the
room had been entered by means of the window. The
pictures, china ornaments, and other articles produced
were all the property of Air. Duesbury, and were of the
value of 501. and upwards.
The prisoners all denied any knowledge of the rob-
bery, and behaved with the greatest levity.
The police said the prisoners Jackson and Welham had
been before convicted, and the others were well-known
thieves.
The prisoners were fully committed to Newgate for
trial. - .

COMMISSION- OF LUNACY ON
MRS. CUMMING.
FOURTH DAY.

The proceedings in the above singular and extraor-
dinary case were resumed on Tuesday at the Horns
Tavern, Kennington, at which the lady (Mrs. Cumming)
was present, as before—Mr. James and Mr. Cole ap-
pearing as counsel for the commission ; and Mr. Pe-
tersdorff, with Mr. Parry, on the part of Mrs. Cumming.
The tint witness examined was a young lady named
Lucia Wrixen, of Quebec-street, Montague-place, who
stated, that having seen the reports in the newspapers
of the first part of this inquiry, she wrote to her mother,
and was consequently brought to town, and introduced
to Mr. Dangerfield, solicitor to the commission, by whom
she had been subpcenaed. In the spring of 1842 Mrs
Cumming called on her mother relative to a character
of a servant, and she remained about four hours. Her
conversation and conduct appeared very flighty. She
not only sat on the sofa, but in every chair in the
room. She talked incoherently, frequently losing the
thread of her conversation, and running from one
subject to another. " She expressed a wish," said
the witness, "to make our acquaintance, and in-
vited us to her house, at Maida Vale. I went
with my mother and sister. She called for us, and
took us in her carriage. We were shown into
the drawing• room, in which I was very much
surprised to find there were no chairs except
one—an easy chair—and she told us to make ourselves
comfortable.—(Laughter.) She left the room, staying
away half an hour or more, and we were kept standing
all the while. She then returned, and some chairs were
brought, and she afterwards brought some tea from her
bedroom, and also a plate with shrimps. There were
about a dozen shrimps in the plate.—(Laughter.) We
were about two hours and a half at tea. She did the
honours of the table. She poured out the first cup, and
after about an hour and a half (Mrs. Cumming talking
all the while) she gave us the second cup.—(Renewed
laughter.) She said she kept the hens in her bedroom,
and she brought an Legg from her bedroom, saying that
she saw all the eggs laid before her, and that each egg
cost her half-a-crown. She took a silver salver from the
sideboard, and fed the cats upon it, saying that her cats
were always fed upon silver. On that occasion she
spoke to us of her family, saying that she had an only
child, a daughter, seven years of age, who was very
beautiful and very accomplished, and was adopted by
a colonel and his family. She called upon us about
three times afterwards, at our residence in Man-
chester-street, once to abuse the servant. Her dress
was very absurd, her mantilla falling off her shoulders,
and her bonnet covered with flowers inside and
out. She was not particularly clean ; her hands were
dirty, and her nails particularly so. At her house she
had a little girl, whom she said was an orphan, who used
to tremble in her presence. She said the little girl had
some property, and that her aunts were continually
bothering her to get her property away. We at length
discontinued her acquaintance, and when she called again
refused her admission.
The witness, in her cross-examination, said that her
sole object in coming forward voluntarily was to prove
this lady's insanity. With respect to Mrs. Cumming's
bonnet, there were not so many flowcrs'in it as there are
in Covent-garden, but they were of as many hues and
varieties. Her eyes rolled most particularly ; she could
not show the jury how, but there was no one in Court
whose eyes rolled like her's, nor had she seen any other
persons do so who were of sound mind.
On this witness departing from the Court, Mrs. Cum-
ming proposed to kiss her.
Dr. Pritchard, one of the commissioners under Lord
Ashley's Lunatic Act, stated—l went with another com-
missioner to examine Mrs. Cumming, at York House,
and after examining her I was decidedly of opinion that
she was of unsound mind. The witness went on to state
the ground of his opinion, which was similar to the pre-
vious medical testimony.
There was nothing material in the other evidence ad-
duced, and the inquiry was again adjourned.

MURDER BY A POACHER.
The neighbourhood of Newton Abbot (a town about
sixteen miles from Exeter, on the Plymouth road) was
on Saturday night the scene of one of those fatal con-
flicts which have too often resulted from armed men
being detected in an illegal act. We hope these la-
mentable consequence will arause in Devonshire a cru-
,ade against the cause of such sad effects—protection to.
vermin—and may those traces, which game-laws have
entailed upon the nation, be henceforth expunged and
obliterated by wiser and more enlightened legislation.
On the night of Saturday last, Festus Harris, the
gamekeeper, and James Norman, the gardener, of Sir
W. P. Carew, of Haceombe House (the High Sheriff),
were on the watch, and ascertaining that poachers were
on the grounds, they called to their assistance six other
persons, amongst whom were Mr. Robert Rendell, of
Netherton, and William Setter, of Coombinteignhead.
These parties met in a field called Blendfield, between
eleven and twelve at night, and surrounded the place
where the poachers were. Mr. Rendell and Setter went to
the gate of Kiln.fleld, and:whilst there heard the rest call
out "gate"—a signal previously arranged. Theyperceived
some one runnine towards them, with a gun in his hand,
and on approaching within a few paces, discovered it was
one Henry Warren. They ran into the field, and
Warren raised his gun as if to fire. Mr. Rendell called
out, "You'd better not fire;" but immediately Warren
fired at Setter, and without taking the gun from his
shoulder discharged the other barrel at Mr. Rendell.
The shot passed by the side of Mr. Rendell's head, but
the aim at Setter was more deadly; he received the
whole contents in his body, causing a wound two inches
in length, from which the bowels protruded, and from
the effects of which the unfortunate man lingered until
a quarter past two on Sunday afternoon, when he ex-
pired, at the house of Mr. Elias Rendell, Buckland,
wl2ere he had been taken immediately after the occur-
rence.

On a post mortem examination a number of small size
shot were found, lacerating most frightfully the liver,
and injuring the bone. The surg,on also found a piece
of deceased's watch chain, which had been carried into
the wound. The prisoner was, after a scuffle, secured
by Mr. Rendell, and the next day taken before H. Cart-
wright, Esq., who, having taken the depositions of the
various witnesses, and of the dying man, committed the
prisoner to take his trial at the next assizes for wilful
murder, and also for shooting at Mr. Rendell. He said
to Mr. Rendell, when in custody, he was very sorry he
had done it, and he wished his gun had broken in pieces
when first he took it in his hand. The prisoner's mate,
who was out with him, has been also committed to gaol,
on the charge of poaching. There was some fear of a
rescue by the navvies, but Mr. Flamank, the magistrate's
clerk, very wisely kept the men at Newton until Monday
morning, when they were sent off to Exeter, and there
safely lodged in the county gaol.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]--EXTRAORDINARY CURES OF
DROPSY BY HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.—Emma Williams, a servant living
with Mrs. Smithers, Oldham-road, Manchester, had lately become
of such a size from dropsy as to appear, (to use her own expres-
sion), as big as a butt. Every usual treatment was tried ,but with-
out effect; in this sad state she had recourse to Ilelloway's tins, and
by them the water was entirely removed from her system, and an
effectual cure perfected in about six weeks. These pills were lately
tried upon two dropsical patients discharged as Incurable from one of
the largest hospitals in London, and they also were both shortly
cured by this famous medicine.--Sold by all druggists, and at rro-
