LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, July 4.
(Trial at bar, before the full Court and a Special Jury.,

ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. HALLETT.

This was a trial at bar to try the right of defend-
ant to enclose an estate near to Epping Forest. It ap-
peared from the evidence that a few years ago the
defendant bought a freehold estate of 73 acres of arable
and woodland, on the borders of Waltham Forest, and
subsequently he enclosed the wood portion of the estate.
The Woods and Forests, however; interfered to prevent
the enclosure being completed, resting their right to do
so on the ground that the wood was a portion of Walt-
ham Forest, but the defendant disputed the title- of
the Crown, and the present trial was had for the pur-
pose of deciding the question.
The evidence adduced proved beyond all doubt that
the land formed part of the forest up to the time of the
defendant taking possession,, and he therefore consented
to allow a verdict to be entered for the Crown.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
OLD COURT.
(Before the REcORDRR.)
Charles Sully, an old man, surrendered to answer a
charge of unlawfully publishing a libel.
Mr. Ballantine prosecuted ; Mr. Parry appeared for
the defendant.

The LEARNED COUNSEL, in opening the -case, said,
the prosecutor of this indictment was a gentleman
named Cluff, who resided in Spital-square, where, be
carried on an extensive establishment as a silk weaver,
and was possessed of considerable property which he
had amassed by his own industry and exertions. Some
persons in the neighbourhood had, however, thought
proper to cause a pamphlet to be published, reflecting
upon the character, of the prosecutor,. and casting im,
putations upon him which it was impossible for him to
pass over ,unnoticed. The Learned Counsel then read
some extracts from the pamphlet in question, which, was
entitled, ." A Tale of the Nineteenth Century: or Paddy
Olaf,. the Bane of Commerce and the Weaver's Curke
and appeared principally to consist of a tirade of abuse„
among other things, charging the prosecutor with hav,
ing formerly kept a " dolly " shop, and receiving
stolen.. property of every description ; and alleging
that this was the source of his. present prosperity.
Mr. Ballantine said, that the present defendant had
merely published one of the pamphlets, and, taking into
consideration his age, there was no desire to inflict
punishment upon him; .but the object of the pregent
prosecution was
,to teach him and other persons similarly
situated that,they could not be the means of publishing
defamatory statements of this description.witlviniputiity,
The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty.
Mr. PARRY then applied for the costs of the defendant,
and he said that by the Act of. Parliament sth and 6th
Victoria, defendants who were acquitted upon a charge
of tliis description were entitled to their costs .from the
prosecutor. „ .-
Mr. BaLiatcrunt said,. that if he had been aware
"con-
ducted a course would have been taken, he should have con-
ducted the case. in a different wanner. .

The RECORDER, upon referring to the statute, said, it
appeared to him that the parties were in a similar posi-
tion with regard to costs as if the cause had been tried
at Nisi Prins, the costs being allowed to those who
obtained the verdict. He should have declined to make
any order for costs even had it been in his power to do
so; but he could not help expressing his opinion that it
was rather an ungracious .application on the part of the
defendant for costs under the circumstances.

NEW COURT.
(Before the COMMON SERGEANT.)
John Atkins, 28, barman, John Smith, 22, and Caroline
Smith, 21, were indicted for unlawfully uttering coun-
terfeit, coin. '

Mr. Bodkin conducted the prosecution; Mr. Robinson
defended the two Smiths:

It appeared that the prisoners, all of whom were very
well dressed, drove up to the door of the Camden Arms,
near Kensington turnpike, on the Cup day of Ascot
Races, and called for some liquor, tendering in payment
a bad half-crown, and receiving the change. The pri-
soners then, it appeared, drove lower down the road,
and at another public-house, called the Marquis of Gran •
by, they succeeded in passing a counterfeit crown-piece
in the same manner. Thence they proceeded to the
Red Cow at Hammersmith, and to the Crown at
Chiswick, at which latter house Atkins attempted to
pass a counterfeit crown-piece, but the fraud was dis-
covered, and he then stated that he had received the
bad coin from a toll-taker on the road. He was de-
tained, and the other prisoners were allowed to depart;
but upon the police receiving information of their
conduct along the road they were pursued and taken
into custody at Bedfout, when they told the same story
as the other prisoner, Atkins, and asserted that they
had received the counterfeit coin at the different toll-
houses as they passed along. 17s. in good silver wore
found in their possession.
Mr. Powell, the "Inspector to the Mint, proved that
the whole of the pieces passed by the prisoners were
counterfeit, and he said that the crown pieces, were of a
very superior description, and were all from the same
mould.
The jury found the prisoners Guilty, and they were
sentenced to be kept to bard labour for nine months.
William Shells, 50, was indicted for feloniously stealing
a number of bank-notes and sovereigns, amounting alto-
gether to the sum of 253/., the moneys of Samuel
Charles Whitbread and others.

The prisoner pleaded Guilty.
The COIIIMON•SERIEANT sentenced the priioner, who
had been before convicted of felony, io be transported for
ten years.
Sarah Poole, 28, was then charged with feloniously
receiving part of the money stolen by the last prisoner;

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.
Charles Scimuel Whitbread Eicke, a clerk in the
Money-order-office, at St. Martin's-le-Grand, was sum-
moned before Alderman Salomons, for unlawfully de-
facing a half-sovereign.
A clerk from the office of Mr. Peacock, the solicitor
to the Post-office, attended to watch the proceedings.
Thomas Walsh, a brass-finisher, living in Halfnioon-
passage, Aldersgate-street, stated that, about ten o'clock
on Friday morning last he tendered one sovereign and
one half-sovereign, to be forwarded to Margate. The
defendant took the money, and, after putting it into the
scales, said it was full weight, but that it was lead, and
he then handed it to some other clerks for their inspec-
tion. They returned it to Mr. Eicke, who at once took
up a ruler and bent it nearly double, after which he
returned it to witness. He told Mr. Eicke not to
deface it, as he would not be able to pass it elsewhere,
but he persisted in doing so. When the half-sove-
reign was returned to him he immediately went to two
places, and after its being filed twice and weighed the
parties declared that it was good gold, and very little
short of the proper weight, as after the two filings it was
only 3d, deficient in value. He thereupon went back to
the office, but they would give him no remedy, in con-
sequence of which be summoned the defendant to this
Court.
Alderman SALOMONS asked Mr. Peacock's clerk if he
had any questions to ask the witness.
The clerk replied that he had not, as the chief point
was whether the half. sovereign was full weight when
presented. He did not deny now that it was gold.
Joseph Wagstaff deposed to seeing the defendant
double the halt-sovereign with the ruler.
John Sergeant proved that he saw it weighed at Mr.
Scales, in Barbican, and that it was then rather light.
He went back with the complainant to ascertain the
name of the clerk, but it was refused.
Mr. Peacock's clerk said that it was a general order
at the Post-office to give no names.
Alderman SALOMONS asked the clerk what was his
defence ?
The clerk replied that he intended to call a witness to
prove that it was light when tendered.
Richard Jude, also a clerk in the same office, said,
that on the defendant giving the half-sovereign to him
for the purpose of examination, he came to the conclu-
sion that it was not good, as the sound was bad, and it
did not look well. He placed it in the scale and found
it was light. It was very soft, and by pressing it be-
tween the thumb and finger it might have easily been
bent.

Alderman SALOMONS asked the witness if it was the
practice at his office to deface coins that were presented?
—He replied it was when bad money was tendered.
The clerk from Mr. Peacock's office said, that under
the Act of Parliament 2d William IV., clause 13, any
person was empowered to cut, break, or (If face any coin
that shall appear to have been diminished otherwise than
by reasonable wearing, and that the person tendering
the same shall be at the loss.
Alderman SALOMONS observed, that the act also fur-
ther stated, "that if the same was of duo weight and
appeared to be lawful coin, then the party so cutting or
defacing the same is required to receive the same at the
rate it was coined for, and in case of dispute it way
competent for the parties to go before any justice of the
peace, who was empowered to settle the affair."
Robert Tyrrel, a constable at the Money Order-office,
deposed to the complainant returning a sec ,nd time to
the office, when he saw it placed in the defendant's scales,
and he observed it was considerably lighter. He told
the complainant that if money was light it was the' cus-
tom to deface it, and that if he had gone to the Bank of
England they would have done the same, and he could
have obtained no redress.
Alderman SALOMONS thought it a hard case, and
ordered a pair of scales to be brought ; and on the coin
in dispute being weighed it scarcely turned the balance.
The defendant himself weighed it.
Alderman SALOMONS said, that he much doubted the
power of the Post-office to deface the coin of the realm;
but in the present instance he Inuit state that there was
a little sharp practice in the office, particularly when,
even after the filings had taken place, the deficiency was
so slight that it would barely turn the beam. He had,
therefore, come to the conclusion that it was of due
weight when presented by the complainant. The clerk
was wrong, and he hoped that he would take his advice
and give a full-weighted half-sovereign in exchange for
the one produced.
The defendant, after speaking to Mr. Peacock's clerk,
at once consented to give Mr. Walsh another, and to
pay the costs; after which all the parties left the Court.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
William Cameron, coachman to Sir H. W. Barron, was
brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with having as-
saulted police-constable Stride, 83, while in the execu-
tion of his duty.
The constable said he was on duty at No. 12, Lower
Grosvenor-street, where there was a party, and his busi-
ness was to keep order and see that the carriages con-
formed to the rules which had been laid down by the
proper authorities. The defendant was called and he
drove up to the door, but word was passed out that his
master was not ready. The defendant kept his place
and would not make way for other carriages, and when
told to go on by witness he replied he would see him
d—d, and then began flogging him with his whip.
Thomas Mould confirmed this statement, and said
while assisting to take the prisoner into custody he was
struck a violent blow o❑ the mouth.

Mr. BlNG'lam would not inflict a fine, but sent the
defendant to prison for 14 days.
MARYLEBONE.
William Davidson, a man who has been repeatedly
convicted for assaults upon policemen and other persons,
was placed at the bar before Mr. Broughton, charged
with 'having committed a most brutal and savage out-
rage upon police-constable Clouting, 166 D, who, in
consequence of the injury inflicted upon him, has ever
since the occurrence, which took place upwards of a
week ago, been incapable of doing duty.
It appeared that on the 27th ult, the prisoner was
fighting in Salisbury-street, Portman-market, and that
on his being taken into custody, owing to his noisy
behaviour and refusing to go away, he struck the officer
a tremendous blow with his fist, and nearly strangled
him by thrusting his right hand between his (the offi-
cer's) stock and his throat; in addition to which, he
kicked him with all his force in the lower part of the
stomach. The ruffianly fellow was at length secured,
principally through the assistance of Mr. Alderson,
landlord of the Royal Champion, and, alter much re-
sistance, he was conveyed to the station-house.
He was fined in the full penalty of 5/, ; in default of
payment, two months' imprisonment.
WORSHIP-STREET.
Yesterday Samuel Watchman, alias Captain Watch-
man, an elderly man of about 60 years of age, was
placed at the bar before Mr. Hammill, charged with ote
taming various sums of money by means of false and
fraudulent representations.
The prisoner had been several times remanded, and
at the former examinations three charges were gone
into against him—the first preferred by a coffeehouse-
keeper in Bishopagate, and the others by victuallers at
Whitechapel, from each of whom he had obtained'
money upon the representation that he would shortly be
in possession of a third share of an estate worth
675,0001, placed in the hands of four town bankers,
whose names he gave, but where, upon making inquiries
since he has been in custody, it has been ascertained
that his statement was an entire fabrication. It is ne
cessary, also, to mention that at the house of each of the
persons he had so duped he was accompanied by a well-
dressed and very good-looking young-woman, whom he
passed off to all persons who had communication with
him as his wife.
Mr. James Balls, a tailor, of Ipswich, now presented
himself, and complained that he had been imposed upon
by the prisoner in a manner which was marked by pe-
culiar treachery and turpitude. This witness stated
that the prisoner was introduced to him about a twelve-
month ago as a Captain Watchman, and told him that he
was shortly to come into the enormous fortune the had
described to the prosecutors in the other cases, but that
he was then unfortunately involved in some embarrass-
ment. His manners were so plausible and frank that ho
was induced, without hesitation, to receive him into his
house, where he was treated with great hospitality and
kindness until a short time since, when he abruptly
started for Londou. with the avowed intention of taking
possession of his property. During the time of his stay
with him, numerous letters relating to the money, and
signed " Ulysses Walker," arrived at the house for the
prisoner, who explained to him that the reversionary
interest in the estate had originally devolved upon
his correspondent Ulysses Walker, his sister Pene-
lope, and her brother Zenophon Walker, but that
but that the latter had recently died, and they had there-
fore determined to invest him with the share which
had elapsed, as a recompense for important services he
had rendered the family, and both of them would post-
pone their intended marriages until the division of pro-
perty could be effected. Soon after the prisoner reached
London he transmitted him a letter, in which he ex-
pressed his intention to appoint the witness his steward,
and followed this up by several others, strongly urging
him to send his wife up to town, as he, was anxious to
introduce her to Miss Penelope Walker, who was in
immediate want of a companion, and that when the
witness found it convenient to join her they should both
be handsomely provided for as long as they lived. These
repeated solicitations so convinced him of the prisoner's
sincerity, that ho sent his wife up to London, under the
care of a female friend and her father, to meet the pri-
soner; but he was afterwards much surprised at finding
that no notice whatever was taken by her of any of his
letters, and he remained in most painful suspense as to
her safety, until, happening to take up a newspaper, he
was thunderstruck at seeing an account of the prisoner's
examination, in which it was conclusively shown that
his wife had fallen a victim to the prisoner's artifices,
and had been some time living under his protection. The
witness added, that as soon as the dreadful fact reached
him, he hurried up to town and had an interview with
his wife, from whom he learned that none of his letters
had ever reached her, and must have been intercepted
by the prisoner to promote his infamous designs upon
her; and the mental suffering to which he had thus been
subjected, in addition to the pecuniary losses he had
sustained through the prisoner's rascality had had such
an effect upon him that he had been compelled to
abandon his business, and give up everything, and was
now reduced to both want and wretchedness.
Inspector Scott produced a letter he had received that
morning from Mr. Hutchinson, au overseer at Ipswich,
which stated that, so far from the prisoner being con-
nected with any such wealthy persons as he had repre-
sented, he had occupied a house rated at 81. per annum
there, for which he had been twice excused payment of
his rates on the ground of poverty, and that he was a
married man, with a wife and three children.
The prisoner still persisted in the truth of his asser-
tions, and, as he had doll° at each previous examination,
asked the magistrate to indulge him with another week's
remand to establish them; but
_ _

Mr. liAmbuLL said he had had opportunity enough to
do so already, if they had any existence in reality, and
he should therefore at once order the depositions to be
taken, and commit him fur trial upon three of the charges
gone into.

The prisoner then asked to be allowed to find bail,
which was ;ranted, but, as before, he was unable to pro-
cure it, and in default was carried off in the van.
THAMES.
James Johnson, a Swede, Charles Jarvis, and John
Andrew Marion, were brought before Mr. Ballantine, on
remand, charged with stealing 180 dollars, the monies
of Johann Hurting, a German farmer.
Mr. BALLANTINE would leave a jury to say whether
one or all of the prisoners were guilty or innocent. and
should therefore commit them to the Maidstone assizes
for trial.

Mr. Pelham hoped bail would be taken for Mr. Jarvis.
There were gentlemen present who would enter into
sureties to any amount.
Mr. Humphreys made a similar application for Marion.
Mr. BALLANTINE would consider of the proposition to
bail the prisoners Jarvis and Marion, and give his de-
cision to-morrow (this day), but he should not take bail
for Johnson. He ordered the depositions to be taken,
and committed the prisoners.

great drawback. This day the Bishop of Hereford

the United States, numbering about two thousand,
organising, we learn, with the intention of charter/11
three or four 'long, low, black rakish looking Tessels'

him a visit, as it is thought that the air of the main lir;
may be better for him than that of Bermuda, especial'',
as his lodgings there are very close and confined. Th
trip of the deputation, which is to be called a

all kinds of hooks, spears, and fowling-pieces, to be pry
pared for any game that turns up. It is hoped that
Mitchel will be of good cheer, until his medical frier
from the United States arrive, and that they will tot
with no accident or delay on their errand. The del
tation, to avoid all display, will hoist no flag, and car!
no Government passports. John Bull, no doubt, 111,
