ANOTHER.

This action was brought to recover damages as com-
pensation for loss sustained by the plaintiffs, arising out
of certain alleged breaches by the defendants of a con-
tract into which they had entered with the plaintiffs.
The pleadings were exceedingly voluminous, and the
trial engaged attention of the Court from its sitting
until near seven o'clock, when it adjourned, being,
as was the case yesterday, the only cause heard during
the Jay.
Sii Fitzroy Kelly, Mr. Martin, and Mr. Greenwood,
were counsel for the plaintiffs; Sir F. Thesiger, Mr.
Watson, and Mr. Cowling, for the defendants.
The facts of the case, as a large portion of them re-
lated to mere matters of detail, are briefly these:—Mr.
Alderman Thompson, M.P., and his partner, Mr. For-
man, are extensive iron merchants and manufacturers;
and the defendants, Messrs. Bailey, Brothers, and Co.,
are also largely engaged in the iron trade. The latter
gentlemen, in 1847, being under a contract to the Great
Northern Railway Company for iron rails, entered into
the present contract with the plaintiffs for the delivery
to them of 2,000 tons of iron rails, to be made accord-
ing to a " template," or pattern transverse section of the
rail required, which template was to be delivered to the
plaintiffs within a week from the date of the contract.
The rails,were to weigh from 71 to 80 pounds per yard,
to conform to the template in shape, and to be deli-
vered in batches not smaller than 500, or exceeding
1,009. There were also some immaterial provisions
with respect to the second thousand. It appears that
the template was not sent in by the defendant within
the given time, but a sketch of it on paper, accompa-
nied by a short piece of the pattern rail, were by con-
sent substituted instead of it. In due course the
first delivery was made, and it consisted of 737 tons.
These were objected to as not coming within the
terms of the contract, but a selection of 500 toes being
made from them, the remaining 237 were returned
to the plaintiffs, who had sold them in London by
a broker, thereby realising only 61. per ton. In
consequence, as now alleged, of their not having the
template soon enough, and the time becoming short,
the plaintiffs could not manufacture the rest of the first
delivery, and, therefore, though 'at great loss to him-
self, he bought the remaining tons at Cardiff, from a
Ed€4.AL°crx&d,aerdly quantity, which u`VssnaYr.i'ziAt"tYm as
stage of the transaction the defendants repudiated the
eon tract, on the ground that the rails thus supplied were
not newly manufactured, but ready-made rails, and fel,
short of the stipulated weight. The answer was, that
their quantity was, nevertheless, 'what the contract sti-
pulated, and that, as the plain tiffs' witnesses now ex-
plained, Pt was impossible to make them exactly of the
given weight, the template been also given, because the
wearing of the rolls, and of the bush in which the axle
of the machinery revolved, together with the varia-
tions of temperature and speed, occasioned the re-
sulting weights to vary within certain limits. The
present action was now brought to recover compensa-
tion on the two lots of one thousand rails each, although
the second were never delivered, or even made, the
breach of contract being alleged to be by the defendant.
The loss claimed upon each ton of the first was the dif-
fenence between the contract price and the selling price
to the plaintiff of the rails he bought; and on the se-
cond, it was the difference between the contract price
and that at which the rails might have been manufac-
tured by the plaintiff, had the defendant allowed him to
continue the work under the contract.

The LORD CHIEF BARON, in his charge to the jury,
expressed his opinion that the conrtact implied a deli-
very of goods corresponding with those sent as a pat-
tern, but he did not think the plaintiff entitled altogether
to so large a sum as he claimed.
The jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict
for the plaintiffs—Damages, 3,375/.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
ITORTHERN CIRCUIT.—Ycrk, Dec. 18.
Mr. Baron PLATT this morning sentenced Eli Bates,
aged 22, who was tried a few days ago for obtaining
three cheeses and a pair of scales and other articles, on
the false pretence that he was then intending to open a
shop and begin business at Huddersfield. This Mr.
Price contended was not a false pretence within the sta-
tute, as it was an intention to do a future thing. To
this it was answered that the substance of the allegation
was, that he, the prisoner, then intended, and the jury,
by finding him guilty, bad found he did not then intend.
This view bis.Lordsbip adopted, and sentenced the pri-
soner to be transported for seven years.
Thomas Whitehead, a well-educated man of 64 years
of age, who had practised as a surgeon at Sheffield, was
indicted for manslaughter, at Sheffield, on the 22d of
September last.
Mr. Overend stated the case detailed in the following
evidence. Mr. Johnston with him.
Sarah Taylor said she was the mother of the deceased.
He was nineteen years of age. He first complained of
a pain in his arm in May last, and then treated it with
ttepentine for three weeks. He then went to the dis-
pensary, and lastly to the prisoner. He got worse and
worse, and during this, prisoner's treatment, he suffered
great pain.
Cross-exarained—After going to the dispensary three
weeks, during which time ho suffered so much pain night
and day, he had little. or no rest, he went to the in-
firmary. • She did not know how often prisoner dressed
the arra.. He charged, threepence each time. After
leaving the prisoner he.went into the infirmary and was
there five weeks before he died.
John Hydes said he was at Taylor's on August 16,
when the prisoner examined the arm. ltwas then red,
and when the prisoner took the ha out. Witness
saw the hole was full of blood, which stiat"risoner cleaned

out with dry hurds, and witness could teht
Prisoner then pressed hurds into the hole w
skewer, and put hurds and salve upon it, and
white powder ; it was keening (caustic) to eat thenfilets: Witness asked prisoner if be thought he could cure it..
He answered, if he could not no other man could. He
sae the prisoner take the hurds out again the Saturday
foliowing. The hole was then a good deal larger.
Prieoner, with a pair of scissors, cut away a large lump
of fltsh, as large as his fist, and it fell on the floor. He
then with the scissors prised up two or three pieces of
bone. 'Taylor, during the operation, was in very great
pain, and croodled up in the chair all of a lump.
Prisoner -then took a lot of hurds and put them in the
hole. He then told Taylor he must go into the infir-
mary and have his arm taken off, or it would kill him ;
and witness went with him in a cab. Witness first knew
the prisoner eight or ten years ago. He was then a
butcher at Sheffield.
Other witnesses, who had seen the prisoner's treat-
ment of the deceased; proved that its general nature was
to procure a hole through the flesh by taking away the
flash by means of cutting and caustic, so as to expose
borre that he might see w h,th er the disease was in the
bone.

An affidavit made by the pri.oner, on being hailed
1,..a3 read, a filch stat( d that he had practised as a surgeon'
years, 15 at Sheffield. lle considi.red the arm in a
state of decomposition, and he treated it with calomel
and opitlM. On the 12th of August he Separated the
putrid flesh, and he then sari the disease was situated
in the bone, and advised the deceased to go into the in-
firmary. He had frequently cured diseases declared` at
tile infirmary and the dispensary incurable.
Mr. John Taylor Porter, surgeon at the dispensary,
and his assistant, described the state of deceased's arm
when he first applied at the dispensary, in the latter end
of June. It was a disease of the membrane covering
the bone of the upper arm, and they ordered leeches,
Fomentation, and opening medicine. A mad of OoMpe-
`potent skill would, from the appearance, detect what
IN'ieithe matter. They believed he would have got well

in two or three years with proper treatment, but if the
a'm had not got well it would not have produced death.
Irritative treatment was bad practice, and showed great
ignorance. Cutting it was grossly injudicious, and so
Was putting herds in the hole; and, in short, the treat-
ment of the case by the prisoner manifested the
grossest ignorance, and entire absence of skill.
Two other surgeons gave similar opinions.
Mr. PICKERING (Mr. Foster with him) addressed the
jury for the prisoner. He said the charge was that of
want of competent skill; there was no pretence that the
prisoner had been in any degree negligent. He called
witnesses as to the prisoner's skill.
Mr. OVEREND replied, and
Mr. Justice MAULE explained the law with great'care
and minuteness, which was in substance, that if a per-
son without necessity took upon himself any art or
business requiring skill, and for the management of
which he had not the ordinary and requisite skill, and
death ensued, he was guilty of manslaughter. His
Lordship then went through the evidence. He had shown
in his affidavit overweening confidence in his own attain
ments, having shown he believed himself capable of
curing all curable diseases. If surgery was, as believed
to be, a progressive art, that confidence was in itself a
proof of the prisoner's ignorance. If the spelling of
the affidavit was a copy of his original, it disclosed ig-
norance of his mother tongue, but he might for all that
be a skilful surgeon.
The jury retired, but were not long absent. They
found the prisoner Guilty.
His LORDSHIP, addressing the prisoner, said it was
an aggravated and cruel case ; the deceased had been
misled by his preposterous pretensions. His treatment
of the case manifested the grossest ignorance. He had
cut off a young man in the flower of his youth by his
gross ignorance and overweening conceit; and the sen-
tence was, that he be imprisoned for a year.
John Foster, aged 30, was indicted for the wilful mur-
der of Robert Slater, at Bradford, on the 2d of October
last. He had been a soldier, but eighteen months ago

H ewas not

Mr. Overend and Mr. John Smith were for the prose-
cution.

The circumstances of the ease, which will be fresh in
the recollection of our readers, were, that Foster and
Slater, after spending the evening in company, at Brad-
ford, left together. The next morning the body of
Slater was found in the river, and soon after prisoner
gave himself up, and confessed that he had thrown de-
ceased over the bridge.
The statement made and signed by the prisoner, before
the coroner, was then put in and read as follows:—"The
whole of what Tilley has said is true. I was not sorry
for myself,tbut I was sorry for the man. I had no ill-
will against him, but I had been desirous fur a long time
to do something to bring me to the gallows, and if I
could have found a smaller crime .1 should have been
glad to have done it, but I could not find one that would
hang me.
His LORDSHIP recalled Tilley, who, in answer to his
question, said the prisoner, as far as he ever saw him,
knew well enough what he was about. He was sober
when he made the confession to him. He seemed in good
earnest.

Mr. Hopton, a surgeon, in answer to questions by his
Lordship, said he only just saw the body, but he be-
lieved, from the blueness of the face and hands, that
death was caused from drowning, He could have better
known if he had made a post mortem examination.
Apoplexy would produce blueness, but he thought not to
the same extent.

Mr. Justice MULE told the jury that the indictment
charged the prisoner with having caused the death by
drowning. The mode of death was not proved, as de-
sirable, by the strongest evidence of which it was
capable. The surgeon who had Peen the body had
oily just looked at it, understanding there was to be
an inquest, and the examination of the body by a
competent person had been omitted. It was an
essential part of the present inquiry that they should
be satisfied that the deceased came to his death by
drowning. They, of course, in considering that point,
were entitled to take into consideration the prisoner's
statement. He then remarked on the very extraordinary
nature of the case. It was, he said, a very round about
way that the prisoner had taken in committing suicide,
if he even had done the deed. He would have thought
it would have been a less objectionable thing for the
prisoner at once to have destroyed himself, than to have
taken away the life of another man, if he had any
wish to die.

The jury retired, and after being absent one hour
and three-quarters, returned a verdict of Not Guilty.
The prisoner on the whole seemed pleased for a
moment.

His LORDSHIP told him he had better beware in fu-
ture. If the jury had found him guilty he would cer-
tainly have been hanged.
The prisoner said that would not have been a bad
thing if he were prepared to die. While he was a sol-
dier, and when on sentry, he bad a fit and the bayonet
of his musket bad run in at the front on the left side
(of his clothes or body, it was not clear which), and
came out under the shoulder. "tie was in the Guards.
fle was then discharged with a pension of sixpence a
day only, and no one would employ him in his trade on
account of being subject to fits, lest he should fall into
the dye-pan.

o;erend said that his friends had offered to pro-
cure counsel to defend him, but he sent word if they
did, he would plead guilty.
Mr. Noble, the governor of the prison, said he had
had many fits since he came into custody. lie consi-
&red him insane, and wholly unfit to be at large. The
prisoner smiled at that.

His LORDSHIP said he should not at present discharge

LIVERPOOL, DEC. 19.
THE MANCHESTER CHARTISTS.-The proceedings
commenced this morning with the cross-examination of
the witness Cookson, by the Counsel who appeared for
some of the defendants, and by the other defendants in
person.

n answer to Mr. JAMES, he said he said been in the
police force since January last, and was previously a
dr,iper's assistant. He never attempted to take notes
before he went into the police force. He was acquainted
with M'Donough previously to hearing him speak on
the 21st of April. Was sure he never attributed to one
speaker what was said by another. The meeting on the
21st of April lasted about two hours.
James A. Ball was the next witness called. He had
been brought from gaol, being under committal on a
charge of conspiracy. He said he was a printseller at
Manchester. Had been four times in gaol fur neglect-
ing his family and advocating the People's Charter.
On the evening of the Ist of April a committee meet-
ing was held at his father's house, to raise money for
agitating the People's Charter. On the following day
another meeting was held at Tinker's-gardens, attended
by unemployed Irishmen. On the Ilth of April another
meeting was held, at which Rankin took the chair. Dr.
M'Dowall, West, White, Grocott, and, in fact, all the
defendants were present, with many others. They had
ascertained the failure in London, and said it was foolish
in them to attempt opposition to the authorities with de-
stroying property. Rankin said they were not strong
egougla unless they did so. M'Donough proposed that
there should be empty cellars taken in the neighbour-
hood of High-street—two at the corner of Turner-street,
and one under Mr. Stevenson's shoe-shop, in Market-street.
Leaders were appointed for the purpose of carrying out
these objects. There were M'Donough, Donovan, Leech,
Cropper, Chadwick, Schofield, Nixon, and others. The
leaders were to place in each of the cellars one parcel of
gunpowder, containing one cwt., one cask of naptha, con-
taining 36 gallons, and one cask of turpentine. Shavings,
mixed with straw, were to be placed next to the casks,
and those were to be set adjoining the door, well steeped
in naptha, for the purpose of being instantly ignited and
the places fired. It was also agreed that an empty shop,
formerly occupied by Dr. Bailey, phrenologist, should be
taken, adjoining the gas-works in Lower King-street.
It was to be taken under the pretence of carrying on the
provision trade. After getting possession of the shop,
they were to bore under the ground so as to get to the
gas .works yards, to place five cwt. of gunpowder under
the boring, blow up the gas-works, and put the town
in complete darkness. Several persons were appointed
to superintend this, and M'Donough was to act as their
leader. A resolution was agreed to on the motion of
Cropper, seconded by Downey, that persons should be
appointed to secrete themselves in the churches, and to
be provided with implements to break open the doors.
Other persons were then to be admitted, provided with
n,ptha, to fire the churches. Leaders were appointed
for particular churches, as follows: St. George's
Church, Scholefield; St. Paul's, Chadwick; St. Ann's, I
Donovan; St. Mary's, Leech; St. John's, Cropper. Per-
sons were also directed to let off the reservoir at Bes-
wick, and also the canal. Lecturers were appointed to
go through the country to make the plans known. Arch-
deacon and Rankin went to Oldham; Cropper, to Brad-
ford; Chadwick, himself, and Leach to Ireland; and Do-
novan, to Birmingham. Witness went to several places
in England, and then to Ireland. He had seen M'Do-
nough train men, and there were drilling places ap-
pointed. The drilling generally took place at mid-
night. He had also seen Cropper and Rankin engaged
in drilling.

then proceeded to address the jury, and the caso was

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION HOUSE.

A man named henry Jones, was brought up for re-
examination on the charge involved in the following
statements. Another man was also put to the bar as an
accessory, but as a clear alibi was proved by Mr. nobler
upon the part of the latter, in whose behalf a number of
respectable persons attended to give evidence, we omit
his name.
Samuel Obee, 649, said, on the evening of Monday,
the 11th inst., I went on duty, at nine o'clock, in Bevis
Marks, Bury-street, and as I walked along my beat I
came to an empty house. I observed the door par-
ticularly, as I had made some private marks on it, and
they had been removed. I heard some one inside, and
listened again, and heard footsteps approaching the door
within the house, and the door was then opened from
the inside, and two men, one of whom was the prisoner,
came out. I asked them what they wanted there, and the
prisoner's companion said they had been to look over the
house. I said they had no business there, and they must
come along with me. The prisoner's companion said,
what the devil are you going to do? We have only been
to look over the house. I seized both the men, when
they came to the door, and one seized me on one side
and the second on the other, in order to get from me.
The other man hit me on the arm with his hand or fist,
which made me leave my hold, and he ran off to the
corner and looked back. He did not run fast, and Idid
who
struggled see him afterwards. I still held the prisoner,
struggled with me, and whilst doing so pulled out a lot
of picklock keys and flung them about the road. He
then pulled out an iron bar or jemmy, and struck me
with it across the head a dozen times. I tried to get it
from him, and he threw it away. I fell several times,
and my head, forehead, and nose were cut open. Icould
hardly see from the blood, but I still kept my hold.
When I first laid hold on the two prisoners I think there
were about six men near me, and I called out for help,
but no one came to my assistance, nor while I was
struggling with the prisoner's companion. Whilst I was
struggling with the prisoner his hat fell off. I succeeded
in taking him along Bevis Marks into Camomile-street,
where I put him into the custody of two constables. I
then made my way back to the place in which the keys
%ere thrown down, and when I got there I fell and my
senses left me.
Mrs. Solomon, who resides at No. 16, Bury-street, four
doors from the empty house alluded to, identified a
shawl which was produced. She last saw it about a fort-
night ago, in the wardrobe in her bedroom, on the second
floor. She was not at home on the evening of the 11th
instant. The shawl disappeared that evening. She also
lost a 101. bank-note and four sovereigns, which had
been wrapped up in it, a diamond ring, a pearl brooch,
a card case, a striped French shawl, and a small silver
pocket knife.
Sarah Becket, servant to Mr. Emanuel, the owner of
No. 15, Bury-street, was at home on the evening of the
1 1 th. There was only a little girl with her. She did
not hear any noise until about half-past nine, when she
heard a great disturbance in the street. She then went
up to close the attic window, which she had forgotten to
shut. The doors of the bedrooms were kept open in
the evening. About hall-past ten she went to her mas-
ter's room, and found some papers on the bed, and re-
moved them on to the drawers. She had not been into
the room since the morning.
Samuel Sykes, 71, was called into Mr. Emanuel's
house at eleven o'clock .on the night of the 11th, by the
servant girl, and in the second floor front room he saw
papers strewed about on the bed. He then went to the
third floor, and observed footmarks on the bed steps,
under the window. He could not discover anything
particular outside. At the station-house Mr. Emanuel
identified a silver candlestick.
William Jarvis, a constable, deposed as to having seen
Obee, the policeman, and Jones, struggling together in
Bevis Marks, and the latter given in charge to officers
in uniform. He followed Obee to Bury-street, when
Obee became insensible, basin," the jemmy produced
and two skeleton keys in his hands, and being much cut
about the head. Witness took Obee to a surgeon, and
afterwards went to the spot where the struggle had taken
place, and found three picklock keys there.
Henry Ashley, who had the care of the empty house,
said it was to let, and the keys were left in his counting-
house at the time, and no one had a right to be there
that evening.
Mr. Henry Emanuel said, I left home on the 11th
inst., about half-past seven in the evening. I returned
at about ten, and went to bed about eleven. On going
into my bedroom, I discovered the contents of my box
scattered about on the bed. I then sent for a policeman,
and went with him to the station house, where I was
shown a silver candlestick, which is my property, and
which is usually kept in another bedroom. I observed
about my room some drops of green wax, apparently
from a taper. I also found a key in one of our bed-
rooms, which did not belong to me. My own keys had
been taken from an unlocked drawer in the dressing-
table, and the drawers had been opened, and the things
pulled about; but I believe nothing was taken away ex-
cept the shawl. I observed footmarks upon a mahogany
pieee of furniture which stands against the wall, under
the window, and from the outside of which a person
could p iss along a ledge or gutter to the other houses.
Abraham Soman, trimming-maker, was passing by at
the end of Bury-street, and saw Obee (the policeman)
and the prisoner struggling together. He heard a voice
call out to pick up the hat and keys, and he looked on
the ground and found an empty canvass bag and the pri-
soner's hat, in which was a silver candlestick covered
with a shawl. He saw the prisoner several times strike
Obee with some weapon on the head. He was going to
assist Obee, but was told by him to look for the keys.
Toe~rcrcthen ordered to be made, and
the prisoner Jones to be committed for trial.
The spirit of Obee, the policeman, in seizing and hold-
ing the prisoner, notwithstanding the desperate attack
made upon him, was much commended, and some sur-
prise was expressed at the fact that there were several
persons in the immediate neighbourhood, to whom that
officer had called for assistance in vain.
WORSHIP-STREET.
Eliza Devine, the wife of a journeyman weaver, was
placed at the bar, before Mr. Hammill, charged with
having been concerned with others in stealing 1,600
bobbins of silk, and a quantity of skein silk, of the value
of 2001, the property of Mr. George Hay, trimming-
manufacturer, in Abbey-street, Bethnal-green-road.
It appeared that during the night of the 9th inst. an
entrance was effected into the prosecutor's warehouse,
which was completely ransacked, and property to the
above amount carried off. A reward of 301. had been
since offered for the discovery of the thieves, and it
having been ascertained that a portion of the stolen
property had been offered for sale by the prisoner, in-
structions were given to the police which led to her ap-
prehension.
Mrs. Rebecca Downes, the wife of a master weaver,
stated that on Monday, the 11 th inst., the prisoner
called at her house, in John-street, Bethnal-green, and
produced a number of bobbins, containing altogether
about a pound weight of silk, which she offered for
sale, and stated that it was merely a sample of a large
quantity of the same description, in the possession of a
person with whom she was acquainted, and who had
employed her to dispose of it. Having heard of the
robbery, and observing that the prosecutor's initials,
"G. H.," were stamped upon the bobbins, she re-
quested the prisoner to return back in the evening with
the property, and she would probably treat with her
respecting it. At the time appointed, however, instead
of bringing the same silk, she offered her several other
bobbins of a different description, which witness declined
to purchase, and the prisoner then lett, with an intima-
tion that she vi ould return next morning with the
original sample, but in the interim she was taken into
custody.
Sergeant Teakle stated, that after leaving the house of
the last witness, the prisoner was traced to the shop of
a greengrocer, where she left her basket, which was
afterwards secured, and found to contain several bobbins
of silk, the property of two other manufacturers, who
were now in attendance. Witness then proceeded to
her lodging, and charged her with having attempted to
dispose of a portion of the silk, which she at first denied,
but afterwards admitted having done so, and said she
had received it from a person whom she accidentally
met in the street, and with whose name and address she
was unacquainted. On searching her apartment he dis-
covered 400 bobbins, bearing the private marks of
nearly all the manufacturers in the metropolis, and he
had reason to believe, if the prisoner were remanded,
that several other cases would be established ageing'
her.

The warehousemen in the service of Messrs. Carter
and Co., Russia-row, Milk-street, and Messrs. Sanderson
and Co., Gresham-street, identified several of the bob-
bins in the prisoner's possession, as the property of their
respective employers, but were unable to state in
what manner they were abstracted from their master's
premises.

The prisoner was then ordered to be remanded for a
week to afford further time to the police to prosecute
their inquiries.

William
Roberts, an inmate of the Bethnal-green
Union Workhouse, who stood charged with an aggra-
vated assault upon a young married woman named Jane
Walden, was placed at the bar for final examination.
It having been intimated by Mr. Fairfield, the master
of the workhouse, that he was instructed by the Board
of Guardians to leave the case to the decision of the

Magistrate, as they had no funds tti—tbeirdispc;alio
carry the prosecution into another court,
Mr. HAMMILL sentenced the prisoner to pay a penalty
of GL, or to be committed in default for two months to
the House of Correction.

JACK ASHORE.—A few days since her Majesty's
steam-frigate Driver landed at Portsmouth 120 of the
crew of the Superb, lately paid off at Portsmouth. The
jolly sons of Neptune, with purses well lined, and ripe
for fun and frolic, fully maintained the character gene-
