CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT

(OLD COURT.)
(Continued from The Sun of Saturday.)
Michael Shaw Stewart Wallace was again placed at the
bar, when
Mr. Ja avis then addressed the fury for the prisoner, whose
liberty and future prospects were now in their hands. He
thank them for the close attention they had already paid to
'he case, but he must entreat them to afford him yet a little
more of it, while he attempted to unravel and elucidate the
very complicated case which had been laid before acre. In
approaching the facts of the case, it was wholly unaeo ssary
for him to conjure them to dismiss from their minds every
thing which they had heard of this case out of doors. Ile
concurred wilt his Learned Friend the Attorney-General
in his estimate of the extreme importance of the
case. There could be no queStion of it ; it was of
vast importance in a commercial country like this ; but inas-
much as they were all deeply interested in affording the utmost
protection to the property of underwriters, all their interests
and feeling would naturally be enlisted on the side of the ac-
cusers ; by so much must they, acting upon their oa Its, sworn
as they were to decide the easy upon the eviee ice laid before
tham, lay aside all which must have reached them of another
ease—they must decide upon the evidence in that case alone,
and take no account of any other. He was aware lie was
wa-ting time by these cautionary remarks, for his client would
be quite safe in the hands of the Jury, under the direction of
the Learned Judge who presided. He would then proceed to
examine all the evidence which had been offered, and so ex-
Vain it as to lead them to a right judgment upon it. There
were only two substantial facts, which they must find in the
affirmative before they could come to a conviction. They must
find that Captain Loose wilfully cast away the vessel—and
also that before that was done Michael Wallace procured
and incited him to commit the crime. Now the whole of the
evidence respecting the loss of the ship depended upon the
evidence of Shultz, but he would consider that at a future
time. The Learned Gentleman then went into matters of ac-
count respecting the cost and value of the ship, as detailed in
evidence, and showed that it amounted, the premiums forin-
surance having beets added, to 2,9501. ; the insurances
amounted to 3,2001. He would ask, was that any ex-
treme margin for a merchant to reserve, in order
to save himself harmless in case of less? Would not his
expected profit amount to that? Was that a statement of
facts upon which they could find that such an overvalue had
been put upon the ship as to induce them to suppose a foregone
conclusion to lose the ship ? Why, it was a fact that the most
respectable merchants in London were in the habit of acting in
the same manner every day. Then, as to the insurances
upon freight, the Learned Gentleman showed its value to be
between 1,400/. and 1,500/., while the amount insured was
only 1,600/. But he would ask if his client had determined to
lose the ship, would he have selected the most eminent and
respectable brokers to effect the insurances? Could he not in
this city have found out some discharged servant from some
respectable office, who would have lent himself as a miserable
tool in order to save his principal for some pittance ? csoes
not act in this way ; but, on the contrary, lie employs in,sn
who, if the offices themselves were quiescent under any sus-
picion of fraud, who must, for the sake of their own honour
and character have instituted the most searching inquiries.
What was the conduct of Michael Wallace all through ? He
charters a ship in such a manner as entailed the necessity of
the presence of an agent on board. He selects the port of
Liverpool, where there is the most vigilant watch kept up by
the Customs. He selects that port in preference to many in
the country, where he might have been comparatively at liberty
to do as he pleased. Was that the conduct of a man who had
conspired to lose the ship ? He would then come to the goods.
It was said that many were insured which had never been put
on board. If so, was is not strange that the Captain should
sign bills of lading, and that premiums should bo paid for
goods not on board ? But what was the evidence ? The
whole of the policies put in upon goods were effected
by Patrick Wallace, and as against Michael Wallace
were as mere waste paper, unless he could be connected with
them in some way. All the policies were effected by Stott for
Patrick ; it was not in evidence that he ever saw Michael, all
was done for Patrick, and although he alledged that-it was for
Michael, he gave no authority for it—none was proved ; there-
fore, these policies were those -of Patrick alone. It was clear
that such was the case, because it was in evidence that when
Patrick wanted to make his claim upon the Maritime, and
wished to have some papers which were in possession of his
brother, he bribed a clerk to get the very document which, if
Michael were guiltily concerned, he would have given up at
once. Then again, they wished to connect Michael with the
fraud, because part of the proceeds came into his hands. Well
then, let him look at how that was. There was, first, the
cheque from the Maritime for 1,1021., that was given to Patrick,
and it was paid into the account of Patrick, with the London
and Westminster Bank. With that Michael had nothing to
do. The balance of the Maritime was 253/. Stott deducted
531. for his brokerage, so that he received 2001. which was
paid to Patrick, and it was afterwards traced to Michael.
But was that not naturally and easily explained? They were
living together with their father. Michael had money, and he
lent his younger brother some in order to fuether his inter-
ests, and he pays him the two hundred pounds. Was it any
wonder that it should be part of the money so received?—The
next insurance was that effected by Stott, by the direction
of Patrick on a paper in the handwriting of Patrick, vouched
afterwards by a bill of lading in the handwriting of
Patrick, though in the name of Michael. That last
' circumstance could not militate against Michael, for the use
of a man's name by a third party cannot injuriously affect him.
The only insurance that could affect Michael was that on the
Neptune, for a sum of 687/. in the Mutual Indemnity, because
that was the only one for which he had given directions. That
policy was for tierces of beef, barrels of pork, and firkins of
butter. It was contended that that insurance was a fraudulent
one, on the authority of the delaration of the Captain.
The Captain in his declaration, which, it was alleged, was the
true criterion of what was on board, made no mention of
these goods. But that circumstance was not conclusive against
the prisoner, for it has been clearly shown that Captain
Loose had omitted in his declaration other articles which
unquestionably were on board. It had been proved by Mr.
Kelly and Mr. Maxwell that there were on board
several kegs of paint and hardware, and yet in
the declaration there was not . a word about them.
The declaration, therefore, was altogether inconclusive
on the subject, and could not prove fraud on the part of
the prisoner. An inference was attempted to be drawn
against the prisoner, from the fact of his having absconded
when the charge had been made against his brother. He
had no doubt absconded, but it had been shown that he was at
the time in embarrassed circumstances, and he might also have
been unwilling to appear as a witness against his brother. Such
a feeling would not be unnatural in any one. With regard
to the fact of the wife of the prisoner having gone to her
father-in-law's and left her house unprotected, it only showed
extreme timidity and imprudence on her part. The Learned
Gentleman then passed to the circumstances which accompanied
the loss of the vessel. He contended that there was no evi-
dence to show that the vessel had been intentionally lost by
the Captain. The statements of subordinate officers in such
cases could not be relied on, and it would be found that they
would be all ready to criminate their superiors. When a shtp
was lost, there would be always some one to blame, and parties
would endeavour to shift the fault from themselves. There
might have been a want of caution on the part of the captain,
but there was no evidence of a design on his part to lose the
vessel. At the time the crew came first in sight of the reef
the captain was in bed, and only came up when the mate told
him of the circumstance. It should be observed that when
the sailors arrived at the port, they made no charge against
the captain : which they would have done under the irritation
of 'the moment had they been persuaded of any unfair inten-
tions on his part. The only evidence that could show that the
vessel had been designedly stranded was that of Shultz ; and.
without that evidence the case would be wholly unsupported.
But that witness had before perjured himself on his own
showing for the recovery of a debt of 41. 12s. 3d. ; and if he
had already sold himself for that paltry sum lie might be again
accessible to corruption. On the evidence of Shultz they
could not—they dare not act ; for he had stood before them a
self-convicted perjurer. Without that evidence there might
be circumstances in the case to excite suspicion ; but on sus-
picion alone the Jury could not find the prisoner guilty. With-
out the evidence of Shultz they could have no certainty of the
loss of the ship by stranding ; and that testimony, he repeated,
could not justify a verdict unfavourable to his client.
A Juryman expressed a wish to put a question to Shultz,
but it was found that that witness was not in attendance.

The Cou AT then retired for a few minutes. On its re-entry

Chief-Justice TINDAL proceeded to charge the Jury. The
prisor.er, he said, was indicted for a felony, which was no
longer a capital offence, but which would be attended
with the most serious consequences, if he should be found
guilty of it. They would, he was sure, discharge their duty on
the occasion with their usual zeal and attention. The
charge against the prisoner was that of having engaged a per-
son named Edward Loose, the Captain of the Dryad, wilfully
to cast that vessel away for the purpose of defrauding
either the part-owners in the ship, or certain underwriters.
The Jury in deciding on the case would have three things to
consider; first, whether the Captain had wilfully cast away
the vessel ; secondly, whether he had done so with a view to
defraud ether parties ; thirdly,—and it was the principal
consideration as regarded the prisoner—whether the Captain
had been induced by him to commit the act. The Learned
Judge then went through the evidence in great detail ; and
concluded by leaving the case in the hands of the Jury. If
they had any doubts on their minds as to any of the points he
bad referred to, they should give the prisoner ,the benefit
of that doubt.

At 20 minutes to six o'clock the Jury retired to consider
their verdict, and after an absence of nearly two hours and a
half returned into Court. The prisoner was again placed at
the bar, and the names of the Jury having been called over,
the Foreman stated that they had agreed to a verdict, finding
the prisoner Guilty.
-The prisoner seas then ordered to be called up for judgment.
Mr. 13aLwrrnia reminded the Court that there had been
a point of law reserved for the opinion of the twelve Judges,
and wished to know if under those circumstances his Lordship
would pass sentence ?
Chief Justice TINDAL said he should pass sentence on both
prisoners at once. The point of law might be argued here-
after, and if it was decided in their favour they would have the
benefit of such decision.

The two prisoners, Patrick and Michael Wallace, were e en
pliced at tl4e bar, and asked in the usual form if they had a .y-
-thing to say why the Court should not give them judgment.
Chief Justice TINDAL then addrescd them to the following
effect Prisoners, you have both of you been found guilty
by a Jury of your countrymen, after a foil arid patient investi-
gaiion of your respective cases, of the offence of inducing Cap-
tain Loose to cast away the ship Dryad, with intent to defraud
the underwriters. lam bound to say that lam perfectly sa-
tisfied with the verdicts which have been returned. Your
offence is one of great enormity, particularly in a commercial
country like thi;' where security to property sent to distant
parts would no longer exist, if insurances on such property
were not effected, and protected by law." After some further
observations, the Learned Judge sentenced both the prisoners
to be transported for the term of their natural lives.
Mr. CLA RKSON applied to have the money, which had been
found in the possession, or under the control of the prisoners,
given up to the underwriters.
Chief Justice TINDAL said he would consider of the appli-
cation.
The prisoners, who turned extremely pale on hearing the
sen'ence, were then removedf mom the dock.

(NEW COURT.)
John Clarke, a respectable young man, was indicted
for stealing a piece of bacon, of the value of threepence,
the property of Thomas Hutchinson. The prisoner, a re-
spec.able ceffee-housekeeper in Tabernacle-square, hav-
ing been admitted to bait, surrendered to take his trial.
Mr. Phillips defended him.
The prosecutor stated that be is a cheesemenger in Pit-
-64i-street, and knew the prisoner, who had been in the
habit of dealing at his shop. He came on the day in
question, when he took the piece of bacon now in Court.
He was subjected to a rigid cross-examination by Mr. Phi!.
HP`, when his testimony appeared to be unsatisfactory in
malty respects. Ho said that if the prisoner took the
bicon, it lay under his nose, and he could not help but
have scan him. He admivei, too, that there had been a
dispute between him and the prisoner.
In the midst of the inquiry the Learned Judge (the
Recorde, ) stopped the case, and appealed to the Jury as
to whether they would convict upon the unsupported testi-
mony of the prosecutor?

The Jury said they were satisfied, and emphatically rc-.
turn rid. a verdict or Acquittal.
Mr. Puiwes said he was able to prove that the young
man at the bar was a highly respectable person, and had a
host of wi...nessi.ss in Court to prove that fact.
John Job Jeavcs, a respectable young man, an estite
agent, was indicted that he, on the 24th of May, 1839,
receive d the sum of 5/. ss. on account of John Hayes, to
whom he was then a servant, and that he afterwards em-
bezzled and stole the sum of 3/. 13s. 6d., part of the said
money.
Mr. Clarkson defended the prisoner, and Mr. Phillips
brig fl stated the case for the prosecution.
Villiers Stewart, Esq., M.P. (who was on the Bench),
stated that on the 24± of May, 1839, he called at the
office of Mr. Hayes, and paid live guineas to the prisoner,
who gave him the receipt produced. 'At the time witness
made the paymek:t, ha remarked to the :prisoner that the
charge was higher than he had ever before paid for similar
business.

John Hayes, the prosecutor, was then called, and gave
the following evidence :—I live at No. 32, Bond-street,
and am a house agent. In May, 1839, the prisoner was
my clerk, and was authorised to receive money on my ac-
count; and it was his duty to pay it over ,to me as he re-
ceived it. Ile left my servi..e in December of the same
year. Ile never accounted to me for the :Aim of 3/. 13,. 6d,,
part cf the 5/. 55., received by him of Mr. Villiers Stewart.
After he left my Feriice I saw him upon the subject of this
money ; and he said he never received it. This was in
the early part of 1840.
Cross-examined—What mere the state of your cir-
cumstances in the year 1839 2—ln the latter pert
of that year they were embarrassed. I became em-
barrassed, because other embarrassed people did not
pay me. In Oct .iber of that year (1839), I had some
executions against me ; but they were against my person,
and not in my house. Ido nut know whether the exe-
cutions were ca. ses., or fi. fee. —( A laugh.)
Mr. CLARKSON—You know the distinction very well.
Had you never an execution in your house? Witness--
Oh, yes, once ; it took, me five days to pay it out.
I had another also in, but I cannot tell how long; but I
swear it was not in logger than two months. The pri-
soner brought an action against me about June, 1840 ; and
after that I applied to the Court of Queen's Bench to enter
an action for libel against him. The prisoner set up
business within a quarter of a mile from me on the Mon-
day after he left me on the SAurday. He had his books
prepared ready for business before he *left me. At
that time I was in the Rules of the Fleet Prison. I went
into the Rules on the 18th or 19th of May, and on the
Monday following I paid 155/ I took the Rules two
days after I was committed to the Fleet, and a day-rule
on the first day of term. I was advised by a profes-
sional man to go into the Rules, and I remained there
until the following September. The prisoner never
paid me a shilling while I was in the Rules.
I t)ok day Rules and went to him. There was nn execu-
tion against me from a person of the name of Harrington,
but it was not these more than three months. The pri-
soner brought his action against me for a supposed arrear
or salary. I know Sir G. Fowler, and I received the rent
of le house for him, and perhaps it was four months before
I pad it over. The prisoner never told me while I was
away that the money had been applied for. I let a house
for a person of the name of Davis, and received 701., and
was sued for the money a month afterwards. The action
was non-prossed. I did not pay the money by going to
prison, but by instalments. I paid 40/. of the money I
received at thi-ee and six months, but I have paid nothing
since June 1840. 1 know Admiral Douglas, who sits on
the Bench. I let a house for him, and received the rent.
When applied to by him (Admiral Douglas), I did not
send word that the money was in the Stocks, and that I
should suffer great loss to sell out. I let a house for Mr.
Bell, in Burlington-street. I received the rent and ac-
counted fo • it. I paid Admiral Douglas his rent within
a month after I received it. He did not employ an attor-
ney that I know of.
The witness was then questioned about premises he had
let for Sir J. Cust and others, and his answers gave rise
to several other questions respecting them, evidently to
test the credit of the witness's testimony.
Mr. CLARKSON said he wanted to know how many
executions he had had against him during the period under
review, and give the names of several persons seriatim,
consisting of bakers, bricklayers, farriers, stable-keepers,
servants, &c., &c. _

The witness at first could not recollect, but after-
wards admitted the facts, but he said he disputed many
of the claims.
COMMON- SJIRGEANT-013, then all these claims were
disputed.
The witness proceeded to state that he was sued by his
late servant for wages, after he went to live in the prison,
and that he paid the debt. I know a person of the name
of Hendry, who was a fellow-prisoner in the Fleet. I let
him some back rooms for him to put some furniture in,
before he took the benefit of the Act. He (Hendry) was
not remanded by the Commissioners for fraud. Some-
thing was said by them about other furniture, which they
said must be given up. After Hendry had filed his petition,
he agreed to give me 301. for six months for rooms to put
furniture in. _ _

Mr. CLARKSON—WhiIe you were in execution in the
Fleet, did you not become bail for a person ?—No ; it
was for a person after I came out, for, I think, 401.
Thomas Haines stated, that he is clerk to the prose-
cutor, and that he called upon the prisoner respecting the
accounts between him and Mr. Stuart and others. He
said he knew nothing about them.
Cross-examined by Mr. Clarkson—Six years ago I was
in partnership with Mr. Hayes, the prosecutor, in Conduit..
street, but have since become his clerk. Witness had
been in prison ten months before he took the benefit of
the Act. Remained there so long in the hope of settling
with his creditors. I was not remanded flr fraud.

By Mr. PHlLLlps—There is no pretence fvr such an in-
sinuation.

Mr. Inspector Beresford stated that he went with the
prosecutor to the prisoner's house, when Mr. Hayes said
that he gave him in charge for embezzling five guineas,
which he had received of Mr. Villiers Stuart. The pri-
soner was near enough to have heard the charge made,
but he inquired of witness afterwards respecting it.
The case for the prosecution having closed, Mr. Clark-
son addressed the jury for the defence.
When the Foreman of the Jury rose, and said, "My
Lord, we are agreed ;" and to the formal question put by
the Clerk, he said, " We find a verdict of Not Guilty."
As soon as the verdict was returned the audience, who
had heard the whole evidence, testified their approval of it
by plaudits, which were suppressed by the officers.
George Arnold, aged 26, Jane Galloway, aged 40, and
Charlotte Davis (who surrendered), aged 20, wore in-
dicted for stealing a bank note of the value of 2001., the
property of Charles Prior, and William Arnold, aged 27,
was charged with being an accessory before the fact of
the said felony.
Mr. Adolphus stated the case for the prosecution, and
Messrs. Phillips, Prendergast, Payne, Ballantine, and
Doane defended the prisoners. The care occupied several
hours, in consequence of the prisoners severing their de-
fences. The evidence in effect was that the prosecutor
being in company with the prosecuted, exhibited a 200/.
note at a public-house, which it was alleged G3orgc
Arnold got posEcision of, and substituted a hl. note for it,
the other prisoners being patios to the robbery.
The Jury found the two men guilty, and acquitted the
female prisoners. George declared that his brother was
innocent, but he admitted his own guilt. The Court sen-
tenced George to seven year's transportation, and William
to one ear's imprisonment.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

HOME CIRCUIT...-HEATFORD, MAnca 6.

Tho business of this assizo concluded last night at ten
o'clock. The eausc-list was gone through by the early
part of the day, and Lord Denman then assisted Mr.
Baron Parke in disposing of the oases of felony.
(Before Mr. Baron PARKE.)

James Bowler, 33, was indicted for feloniously, wilfully,
and maliciously damaging a steam-boiler, of the value of
one hundre,l pounds, the property of Frederik Arthur
Magnay and another, with intent feloniously to render
the same useless.

Mr. CHAMBERS stated the case, and then called the fol-
lowing witnesses.
Mr. Frederick A. Magnay said, he carried on the busi-
ness of a paper manufactu'er, in partnership with his bro-
ther, Mr. Charles Magnay, at Mill-end, in the parish of
Rickmansworth, and the prisoner had been in his service,
and his duty was to,look after a steam-engine, employed
in the precess of the manufacturing of paper. The
prisoner had directions never to raise the steam
higher than to a pressure of seven pounds on the
square itch, as the boiler was not calculated to sup-
port more with safety, and the valves would blow toff
when the stem exceeded that strength, if they were
not confined. On the 13th February, in conse-
quence of information he received, he wCnt to the engine,
and found that the boiler was completely useless, the bot-
tom having fallen out. Witness then examined the safety-
valves, and he found that one was prevented from acting
in consequence of a leaden phlango or weight being in-
serted in it. The other valve was open, but the effect of
of one being confined was, that:a great deal more steam
would be generated in the boiler than it was calculated to
bear, and this no doubt caused it to burst. Upon examining
the cord of the steam guage, which denoted the power of
the steam in the boiler, adjoining the one destroyed, lie
discovered that a cord was tied in it, to prevent it from
acting properly, so that it would deceive any one as to the
real quantity of steam that was generated. He asked the
prisoner, who was present, what power of steam was in that
boiler, and he replied, " seven pounds to the inch."
Witness untied the knot, and it immediately denoted eight
pounds instead of seven, and he then said to the prisoner,
" You villain, you aro not content with ruining one boiler,
but you aic tryin,g to destroy this also." The prisoner
admitted having tied a knot in the guage of the engine
that was destroyed, and witness discharged him imme-
diately, and he walked away with a kind of sneer. Upon
closer examination, the boiler was discovered to be totally
destroyed, and required eighty or a hundred pounds to
replace it.
George Tufrey, a labourer in the prosecutor's employ,
proved that he had seen the prisoner on several occasions
tie up the cord of the steam-guage, and put a weight on
the safety valve, and be did so on the day before the boiler
burst, and he had no doubt this was the occasion of it, and
that the prisoner had told him he was glad the accident had
had happened.
Mr. Baron PARKE expressed his opin'on that the facts
did not make out the felonious charge imputed to the pri-
soner. There could be no doubt that he had acted very
negligently, and imprudently ; but it appeared probable
that be had no other object than to save himself the trouble
of being in constant attendance upon the fire, and there was
no proof that he intended to destroy the boiler.

The Jury accordingly returned a verdict of Not Guilty.
Henry Tweed, aged 20, and William Greggs, aged 25,
were indicted for having, with other persons, entered a wood,
at Great Anwell, belonging to Edward Chuck, E:9.,
armed with guns and other weapons, in pursui, of game,
and with having violently assaulted, on the-7th November,
three gamekeepers, named Talbot, Hailock and Baker.
The Jury found Tweea Guilty,. and acquitted Griggs.
'The same prisoners were then charged Upon-another in:

dietment with a similar offonce, which was ecwly ma'

out and they were both f:-.und
Mr. Baron PARKE inquired if the vrisoners score ktowil
and he was informed by the gaoler that Tweea bad beep..n
seven times, and Griggs, five times summarily connote,' 0"
poaching.
The 14,..arned JUDGE sentenced Tween to be Vag"'
