THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 28, 1848.

Mr. Higginson, the Governor of Antigua, that dispatch
was not communicated to the Committee for two months
afterwards. But on the occasion to which he was ad-.
verting, while the Noble Lord quoted as much of that
dispatch as made for the view of the question which he
wished to impress on their Lordships, he omitted to
state that it contained this important passage :—" It
must be conceded that, for obvious reasons, free-grown
;agar can never yield so remunerative a return as
that grown by slaves."—(Hear, hear.) He admitted that
it would be sometimes inconvenient and mischievous to
iay the whole of a dispatch before Parliament. But the
Noble Earl extended that doctrine, and claimed on the
part of Government that they should only lay before
Parliament so much of any dispatch as met their own
views, and should exclude from every dispatch whatever
ran counter to those views.—(Hear, hear.) The prac-
tice of the Noble Earl would seem to confirm the strong
charge made by his Noble Friend in the House of Com•
mons, that they adopted the principle of suppressing
and perverting the information which they had
in their possession, and which had not been
laid before Parliament.—(Hear, hear.) When our
dispatches were asked for, they ought to be exhibited
in such a way as to give a fair, complete, and
impartial statement of the case to be considered
(Hear, hear) and to enable Parliament to judge of
its substantial merits.—(Hear, hear.) But what were
they to say of the Minister who held in his hand a docu-
ment from which he quoted whatever supported his own
particular views?—(" Hear, hear," from Earl Grey.)
lie (Lord Stardey). was not now speaking of the dispatch
of Governor Higginson, but of a memorial which excited
great attention on the part of the Noble Earl, and from
which he read extracts to the House. He was going to
show that the extract read by the Noble Earl was not a
fair extract, and that, as the Noble Earl read it, it in-
volved an inference diametrically opposite to the whole
tenor of the memorial itself, and that the next sentence,
which the Noble Earl did not read, would annihilate
the inference to which he sought to lead their lord-
ships.—(Hear, hear.)—lt was in reference to this
memorial he presumed that the Noble Earl made
the following remarks on the 7th of February:—" In
a few years he hoped to see the business of planting
carried on solely by residents, and he conceived that
there were not anywhere such favourable opportimities
for the investment of capital as in the West Indies. He
felt assured that men of science going out there, not
disregarding local experience but applying the great
principles of science to the production of wealth, could
scarcely fail to obtain pre-eminent success. It was his
firm conviction that five or six men of capital and science
emigrating thither with a resolution to assist each other,
and establishing a central manufactory—such a party,
conducting such an enterprise, could not fail of perfect
success. He could not avoid expressing his strong con-
viction that a great property was still in store for those
who engaged in such a course; and he should conclude
with a confident appeal to the House and the country to
say whether or nut he had succeeded in proving that the
present state of the West Indies was not to be imputed
co the advice of the present Government." The Noble
Lord expressed that opinion, and he led their Lordships
to entertain this opinion; and ho induced the country
and the capitalists of the country to entertain it, whilst
he at the very time held in his hand the document which
would have led their Lordships and the country to form a
different opinion, but which he did not communicate to
them. The memorial which the Noble Earl held in his hand
stated that they (the memorialists) had invested 142,0001.
capital in the production of sugar; but that the price of
sugar at the present time was such, that upon an annual
expenditure of 60,3004 the gross returns were 60,8001.,
being 500/. on an outlay of 60,3001., independent of the
interest of the capital and of the 142,0001. which they
had laid out since the Act of emancipation. They went
on to say that they were resident proprietors; that
they adopted the improved mode of cultivation; but
that they could not cultivate their estates for another
year.—(Hear, hear.) They concluded by saying —" \Ve
beg of you to consider our desperate position as an
excuse for troubling you."—(Hear, hear.) Arid yet the
Noble Earl, with that document in his hand from which
he read a portion, whilst he withheld the rest for two
' .months, would lead their Lordships to conclude from
the part he read that the experiment of resident planters
was immensely successful, and warranted a sanguine hope
that Jamaica would be cultivated in a successful and pro-
fitable manner, when the memorialists themselves told
them that they could not cultivate for another year.
(Cheers.) He followed the Noble Earl through the
whole of his statement, and he would leave it with con
fidence to their Lordships to judge whether the Noble
Earl was justified in that high tone of indignation in
which he thought it necessary to indulge.—(Hear, hear.)
He did not ask them to say there was a wilful suppres-
sion of the truth, or a perversion of documents for pur-
poses far opposed to those for which they were intended;
but he said that he had demonstrated to their Lord-
ships, or to any candid and impartial man, that in the
circumstances as he had stated them, and as they ap-
peared before the public, it was not surprising that his
Noble Friend (Lord George Bentinck), who devoted
himself heart and soul to the cause of the West Indians
—who presided over the Committee with exemplary as-
siduity—should be anxious to arrive at the truth ; and
when he found a portion of the documents which con-
tained important matter had been withheld from that
Committee over which he presided, intentionally or
unintentionally, that he should have expressed himself
in strong and warm language, though in language
perhaps too strong with respect to a case which could
not be made out by complete and conclusive acts.—
(Hear, hear.) It was not surprising that, as chairman
of a Committee to which an important inquiry was dele-
gated, he should have said circumstances of grave sus-
picion attached to the manner in which the Colonial
office had been carried on for some time—(Hear, hear)
—and because he made those charges and statements it
was not fair to say that he was ,unduly descending to
mean and petty formalities, as stated by the Noble Earl.
He took a course in which fair argument ought to be
met by fair argument. He was justified in making the
statements he had made ; and neither the Noble Lord
nor the Government ought to be offended at the plain-
ness of the statements so made—(lronical cheers from
the Ministerial benches)--and the Noble Earl might con-
eider himself well out of the matter if he can satisfy your
Lordships and the country that he is altogether free from
the charge of paving conveyed by partial statements
made to your Lordships—an inference on an important
question the very opposite of that which was intended
to be conveyed by the document from which he was
speaking.—(Cheers and counter cheers.)
Lord BROUGHAM deeply lamented that anything
should have arisen to make it necessary for the Noble
Earl opposite to depart from the ordinary course of pro-
ceeding, in order to lay this subject before their Lord-
ships, because it was one that gave occasion to heats
both in that House and elsewhere. He was not sur-
prised, however, that the Noble Earl should be anxious
to take the earliest opportunity of clearing himself from
the charge. But could he blame his Noble Friend (Lord
G. Bentinck) for calling on the Colonial-office to defend
itself from the charges which he thought himself justified
in making ? Far from it. It was his privilege to do
so—it was consistent with his right to do so—and it was
his duty to do so. Whatever was offensive in the charge
his Noble Friend had retracted; he had in a great degree
apologised for it, retaining, however, the opinion that
there had been errors and blunders, and that the circum-
stances justified suspicion. In one or two circum-
stances he could not agree with the statement of the
Noble Lord who had just spoken. He could
not agree with him that the examination of his
flonamble Friend( Mr. Hawes) justified suspicion. With
regard to the dispatch, his Hon. Friend might differ
from the Noble Lord with respect to the gloss to be pat
upon it, as to its importance or otherwise—but that his
Hon. Friend could have meant to deceive was impos-
sible, because he believed that the dispatch was there
before the Committee.—(Hear, hear.) A. remark of the
same kind applied to the keeping back one portion of
Governor Light's dispatch, for when the part omitted
came to be read it made, in his opinion, for the case of
the Noble Earl opposite.—(Hear, hear.) With regard
to the memorial, again, it seems not to have occurred to
the Noble Lord that the part left out might have made a
different impression on the Noble Earl opposite than that
which it appeared to have made on the Noble Lord. He
hoped that this would be the last debate of this kind
that he should be obliged to listen to in that House. He
thought that greater care, more caution, more attention
to a previous examination of the facts, should be ob-
served in charging public men with breaches of their
public duties.—(Hear, hear.) If he were to give his
candid and sincere opinion as to what would best show
that what had been done elsewhere had been done not
from personal views, not from malicious motives, or un-
worthy feelings of any kind, but from public principle—
from a strong sense of public duty, and that high and
honourable feeling which be believed and knew elver,
tained to the conduct and formed part of the character
of Lord G. Bentinck—he would offer this advice, that
partly explained—and. what was
this matter be at an end ; that. the charge having been
made from a sense of public duty, and having been
partly rebutted and
again give rise to an-
most offensive in that charge having been retracted—
they should hear no more of it, either is that House,
where it gave rise to one disorderly discussion,. or in
oanthoetrhe The
.Noble Lord opposite
had fully, clearly, and satisfactorily defended. his own
course, and that of his subordinates in office, without
against others. Nothing which
ergHuaolulyse,dwishoredreeriltym-ight
making any charge
he had said required any answer from Lord George
Bentinck, or any ono else; and, therefore, he hoped that
k
here, and now, there would be an end of this unfortu-
nate matter. One observation he must make. Consi-
dering all the enormous mass of business which weighed
on and almost overpowered the Colonial-office, and of the
immense number of dispatches which were received, at
the rate of 10,000 or 11,000 a year,
.about 300 a week—
he was convinced of the difficulty which must attend the
getting through such a mass of business, relating to colo-
nies at the extremities of the globe, some of them under
laws the very opposite to those
arise between thely
which prevailed
of some further
prevailed at home.
He was also convinced of the necessity
assistance in disposing of this immense amount of busi-
ness. Here an error had arisen between the Colonial-
office and the Committee of the House. of Commons; how
many such errors must iicesse -s
Colonial-office and those distant possessions of ours in
the course of his multifarious business, and how pressing
was the necessity for the adoption of the alteration which
he had suggested I Should such be the result of the
long discussion which had now taken place, the time of
the House would not have been occupied altogether in
vain.—(Hear, hear.) The Noble and Learned Lord
concluded by again imploring that tho debate might be
allowed to terminate.
Earl GREY, who was at first very imperfectly heard,
thanked the Noble and Learned Lord for the sentiment
he had expressed, and said that he concurred in very
much that had fallen from him. Like him he greatly
lamented the necessity of discussions like the present,
but did not see how, in this case, it could have been
avoided. All must admit that there was a great differ-
ence between a simple expression and the mode in which
that expression was used; and it was the peculiar eha-

racteristic of the Noble Lord by whom this charge had
been made in the other House that he never entered on
the discussion of any great public measure without im-
puting vile and disgraceful motives to those to whom he
was opposed.—(Hear, hear.) That Noble Lord seemed
to imagine that ho (Earl Grey) had the desire, in some
inexplicable way, to depress and damage the West
India colonies, by any means, fair or foul. Would
it not have been perfectly possible to discuss
the question whether or not protection against foreign
sugar was really a benefit to the colonies and the
mother country without entering into this further dis-
cussion—whether he, as Secretary of State, and those
who were associated with him in office, were endeavour-
ing to support a policy which they knew would be
ruinous to the West India colonies, and inconsistent with
all fairness to the colonists?—(Hear, hear.) He pro-
tested against this system of always viewing with suspi-
cion the motives of others.—(Hear, hear.) Ile must
own he had heard with deep regret, and with an altera-
tion of the opinion he had hitherto entertained of the
fairness of the Noble Lord opposite (Lord Stanley),
which he feared he could never entertain again—(Loud
cheers)—he had heard with deep regret that Noble
Lord take up the view of his political ally on this sub-
ject, and speak with all that ingenuity which belonged
to him, with all the ability and energy which invariably
characterised all he said in that House, and with all the
practised art of the most able advocate, for the purpose
of attaching to him (Earl Grey) what he could not call
less than an intentional prevarication.--(Hear.) That
the Noble Lord should have taken such pains to bring
home to him that charge was to him most deeply painful.
—t. Hear.) The Noble Lord had also adopted what he
(Earl Grey) most utterly repudiated—the distinction
between the personal and official conduct of a man hold-
ing a high situation.—(Hear, hear.) He might say
these were charges against a Minister, but they were
also charges against a man.—(Cheers.) He firmly be-
lieved, from the little experience he had had of public
life, that any one who would shrink from so acting
would also shrink from making such accusations.—
(Hear, hear.) He was surprised that the Noble Lord
(Stanley) should have adopted so ungenerous and so
utterly imperfect a view of what was reported to have
fallen from his Noble Friend Lord John Russell on the
occasion referred to. He utterly denied that his Noble
Friend had made any such charge or representation with
regard to the pursuits of the turf.—(Hear, hear.) It
would indeed have been strange for the Noble Lord, with
one of his nearest and dearest relations connected with
that branch of national amusement, to have thrown any
ungenerous censure 'on those noblemen and gentlemen
who were so engaged. The Noble Lord had done no
such thing.—(Cneers.) Every one knew that the pur-
suit of racing when adopted from the love of the amuse-
ment, and from fondness for the noble animals by which
that sport was carried on, was an amusement perfectly
innocent, and one that contributed to some very impor-
tant national interests. But was it not notorious that
there were on the turf, not only those who pursued the
amusement in an honourable and manly way as a sport,
but others who made it a sort of calling—a profession
the Noble Lord (J. Russell) had called it—in the vilest
spirit of gambling and in the love of gain—men who con-
sidered that fair which in any other walk of life would
be utterly disgraceful—who talked coolly of what was
very much like picking pockets, betting against
horses which they knew could not possibly start—and
who were in the habit of " paying for information,"
which meant bribing the servants of trainers and others
to obtain the secrets of their masters' stables?—(Cheers.)
All his Noble Friend had said or intended to say was,
that the Noble Lord (G. Bentinck) having been necessa-
rily brought into contact with persons like these, having
ievoted a great deal of his time, ingenuity, perseverance,
and ability, in detecting the frauds committed by such
persons, had contracted a habit of looking with suspi-
cion at the conduct of men who did not deserve it, and of
regarding them in the same light as those whose practices
and conduct he had been in the habit of investigating
and exposing—that he had contracted habits like those
of the police, who, being continually on the track of
crime, imagined it where it did not exist.—(Cheers and
laughter.) That was a perfectly fair, legitimate, and
just argument. But if his Noble Friend had been be-
guiled by the heat of argument into going somewhat be-
yond the strict line of discretion, he was not only en-
titled to the warmest gratitude from himself (Earl
Grey), he was also entitled to the admiration of their
Lordships, for when be himself was attacked, he stood
almost alone for the unexampled patience, temper, and
forbearance with which he invariably met the most diffi-
cult attacks, and no man ever saw him betrayed into
unnecessary heat—(Hear, hear)—if he ever was be-
trayed into indiscretion, it was the indignation of a ge-
nerous mind at an attack directed against an absent
friend.—(Cheers.) He was surprised that the Noble Lord
(Stanley), whom he used to think capable of high and
generous feelings, should not have taken his view of the
conduct of Lord J. Russell, but should have represented
what he had said in the most invidious light, and have
striven to swell the cry most unjustly raised against
him. Such a course was wholly unworthy of the Noble
Lord. After what had fallen from the Noble Lord, he
(Lord Grey) felt he must be content to throw himself
on their Lordships' indulgence; for he confessed he did
not feel himself equal, as an advocate, to grapple with
the Noble Lord in regard to the inferences wich he had
ingeniously drawn from scattered passages in a variety
of papers, and from a skilful comparison of dates. He
had not the memory to follow the Noble Lord through
those details. Naturally dae question was one not a
little agitating to his feelings; and he did not feel him-
self capable of unravelling that ingenious web of so-
phistry which the Noble Lord had woven, as he could do
had he the time necessary for the task. For skilful as
the Noble Lord was in that art of " dressing up a case
:or- Parliament," he never showed that skill in a more
eminent degree than he had done in driving home the
poisoned arrow discharged by auother.—(Cheers.) He
would notice two or three points on which the Noble
Lord had dealt. First, with regard to the Trinidad
papers; they were moved for in November, but not being
ready before the House adjourned they were presented
on the very first day after the recess. He had before
him the votes of the House of Commons, which showed
that that was the case.

Lord STANLEY—What I stated was, that those
papers were not laid before Parliament until the debate
to which they referred had commenced, and were not
printed for the use of Members till near its conclusion.
Earl GREY repeated that on the very day that Par.
'lament re-assembled, being the earliest practicable day,
they were laid on the table of the House, and though he
could not speak positively from memory he believed
they had been delivered printed to Members within a
day or two.—(Cheers.) The next point was the use he
had made of a dispatch of Governor Higginson. He
had used the dispatch to support the view he took, a
view which nothing had occurred to shake. He con-
sidered the statements of governors of colonies of ex-
treme value when relating to matters of fact, but when
relating to opinions, of very little value.—(Hear, hear.)
He considered that the Government in this country,
taking a muck more enlarged view of causes and ef-
fects, and not biassed by the spectacle of great distress
immediately around them, were capable of draw-
ing sounder conclusions from the facts stated
than those actually on the spot. That dispatch
had been communicated ,to the Committee of
the other House, ho believed, among the very
first papers that the Committee had called for after the
recess. With regard to Jamaica, the Noble Lord laid
very great stress on the keeping back of a dispatch
received ors the 22d of October from Sir Charles Grey.
That dispatch stated only what was perfectly notorious,
the existence of great distress in the island, and the
opinion of the governor that a change in the duties was
necessary.—(Hear, hear, from Lord Stanley.) About
that there could be no secret ; for Sir C. Grey had
expressed the same opinion in opening the colonial
legislature, and his speech had appeared in almost every
newspaper in' England and in the colony ; so that
it would have been quite childish to think of concealing
that.—(Hear, hear.) The last point to which he
would allude was the Jamaica memorial. He bad
quoted that document merely to prove certain facts
which he thought material ; and if the report of his
speech which the Noble Lord had quoted were correct,
it showed that the memorial was one which had been
presented to him by the planters of Jamaica, com-
plaining of great distress ; and whatever might have been
the value of the document in his eyes, his argument
was that the complaining parties had admitted facts
which, in his mind, led to a conclusion with regard to
the future different from the ono at which they had
themselves arrived. The facts stated demonstratively
led to this conclusion—that in a part of the island of
Jamaica a very considerable change in society had taken
place, and that there was springing up a class of resident
planters, lessees of the estates, who were carrying on the
cultivation. That fact only he had quoted; he had not
gone into their particulars about the distress, because
the whole tenor of his argument was that there un-
doubtedly existed heavy and grievous distress; but he
had endavoured to show that there. were causes in ope-
ration which would lead to an improvement. He was
perfectly aware that the memorialists said they could
not carry on their cultivation another year; he
adopted their testimony as to facts, but he did not
adopt their opinions. He no more took for granted all
they said about the possibility of cultivating sugar in Ja-
maica than he had taken for granted what had been said
by the Noble Lord opposite and the farmers of this
country as to the possibility of carrying on the cultiva-
tion of wheat in England.—(Cheers and laughter.) In
that case, his own interest as a proprietor of the soil
being strongly involved, he had taken the liberty of
forming his own judgment as to the cultivation of land
in this country ; and he had done the same with regard
to Jamaica.—(Hear, hear.) If the whole memorial
were read, it more strongly supported the argument he
had addressed to the House, than did the particular
passage he had quoted. Be that as it might, the inten-
tion of taking any unfair advantage was absolutely ne-
gatived by the fact of the memorial, with the other
papers, being included in those laid before the Com-
mittee at a very early stage of its proceedings.—(Hear,
hear.) He would not enter further into these topics;
and had it not been that what had fallen from him had
been distorted, he should not have entered into them at
all, but should have acquiesced in the advice given by
the Noble Lord (Brougham) opposite.
Lord STANLEY said that with regard to the effect
which his statement had produced on the feelings of the
Noble Earl (Grey) towards himself, much as he might
regret it, he must submit to it as a consequence of per-
forming what he believed to be a duty. The debate had
❑ot been of his seeking; he had not desired the raising
of this or any other question; and the "ingenious
tissue," which the Noble Earl said he had woven, had
not been volunteered by himself, but had arisen from
following strictly the line taken by the Noble Earl, and
by referring to all those cases to which the Noble Earl
referred— not to show that the Noble Earl had been
guilty of any suppression, but to show that, looking at
particular documents not brought before the public, and
looking at the particular time at which they ought to
have been brought forward, there was fair and reason-
able ground for parties to believe that some improper ,

interference had taken place, and had systematically
taken place, in the Colonial-office with regard to
these documents. The distinction between official and
personal responsihily was this : the charge made was
that these documents had been withheld, or suppressed
"in the Colonial-office;" there was, therefore, no accu-
sation against the Noble Earl, because it could not be
known that it had taken place in consequence of the
Noble Earl's interference. He had admitted that the
Noble Earl's defence was conclusive, and had acquitted
him of any intentional withholding of the documents.
But he had felt it a duty to an absent friend, whom he
valued as highly as the Noble Earl did his friends, to
show that this was a case which justified suspicion on
the part of Parliament, and justified the expression of
that suspicion on the part of the public. O❑ one topic,
and one only, he thought the Noble Earl had fallen into
a grave error, that of conveying an erroneous inference
from the memorial of the Jamaica planters. It was not
the mere opinion of the colonists which the Noble Earl
had withheld, but the facts as to what had already taken
place. On the 7th of February, the Noble Earl, speak-
ing in that House, traced the distress of the planters to
certain causes.

The Earl of MINTO here interposed a remark which
was not heard in the gallery.
Lord STANLEY repeated he did not complain of the
Noble Earl suppressing opinions, but he complained of
his giving a portion of the facts and suppressing others,
which appeared in the same dispatch, and which were
entirely contradictory of the inference he had attempted
to draw. He did not complain that the Noble Earl, in
quoting the declaration of the planters, that they had
embarked 142,0001. in the colony, and that, consequently,
a great change in society was going on, had not stated,
at the same time, that other fact, wherein the parties de-
clared that that investment of 142,0001. had been a total
and entire failure, and that they had lost all they had
embarked. The Noble Lord then read the portion of
the memorial referred to, and said that the planters
showed that they only received an annual return above
their expenditure of 5181. towards defraying the in-
terest at 6 per cent, of the money they had borrowed.
The Noble Earl had suppressed all this, and of that he
complained. That was the only part of the case in which
he thought the Noble Lord had misled the House; for
this document was not laid before the Committee until
the 28th of March, nearly two months after the Noble
Lord's statement.

Earl GREY—lnstead of being only laid before the
Committee on the 28th of March, the memorial was re-
ported by the Committee on the 14th of March, and I
believe it was laid before them in February.
Lord STANLEY admitted that he had been mistaken
as to the date.—(Cheers.)
The Marquis of LANSDO WNE, who was most im-
perfectly heard, was understood to say that he could not
allow the House to separate without calling attention to
the fact, that though the Noble Lord opposite (Stanley)
had admitted he had fallen into an inaccuracy, the whole
of his last speech had been directed to proving an inac-
curacy on the part of the Noble Earl (Grey), and in so
doing he had entirely quitted the subject before the House.
No one who had heard the statement of the Noble Earl
(Grey) could fail to be convinced that he stood com•
pletely absolved from anything like the charge which
had been brought against him.—(Cheers.) The duty
of examining and canvassing
.the conduct of all public
officers was one that ought to be exercised unrestrictedly;
and it was only because imputations had been made,
not against the Noble Earl's discharge of his public
duties, but because statements had been made which it
had been found necessary to retract here:and elsewhere,
that.the Noble Earl had found it necessary so long to
occupy the attention of the House.—(Hear, hear.) He
trusted that one result of this debate, already perhaps
too long protracted, would be to show how important it
was that motives of an improper kind should not be im-
puted on light and trivial grounds—(Cheers)—and that
the conduct of public men should not needlessly be made
the object of Parliamentary discussion and debate.
Lord REDESDALE expressed his belief that nothing
personal had been meant towards the Noble Earl oppo-
site. Perhaps the charge of neglect had been too
strongly made against the Colonial-office; but as for
anything personal, that had been distinctly disclaimed
by the Noble Lord who made the charge.
Earl GREY (with much warmth)—No, no.
Lord REDESDALE said he referred to what had
taken place here, not in the other House. As to the
other memorial from Jamaica, he thought the defence
of the Noble Earl was a very imperfect one. The
Noble Lord (Stanley) had stated nothing but facts and
fair inferences from the papers, of which the Noble Earl
had no right to complain. It was a strange position for
a Colonial Minister to assume, that he would only take
the facts reported to him, but would pay no attention to
the opinions expressed.
Earl GREY—None at all.

Lord REDESDALE—That was tantamount to say-
ing that the House should only have the opinions of the
Noble Earl, and not those of the persons who were spe-
cially sent out to collect and form opinions from actual
observation.

Earl GREY—I hope that when the Noble Lord next
professes to quote what I have said he will state some-
thing ailittle like what I did say.—(Cheers.)
The motion was then agreed to, and their Lordships
adjourned at Half-past Eight o'clock.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, June 27.
There being only 32 Members present at Four o'clock,
the House was adjourned until to-morrow (this day).

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, June 27.
(Before Mr. Justice liriGrurmArr and a Special Jury of
the county of Middlesex.)
THE QUEEN V. HARDEY.
The defendant appeared, in discharge of his bail,
upon an indictment for alleged perjury arising out of
certain voluminous affidavits made in the Court of
Chancery, in a suit relating to matters of account.
After the jury had been sworn,
Sir FREDERICK THESIGER, Q.C., (with whom was
Mr. Hurlstone,) stated that it was not his intention, on
the part of the prosecution, to offer any evidence, and,
therefore, the jury must return a verdict for the de-
fendant.

Mr, Cockburn, Q.C. (with whom was Mr. Prender-
gast and Mr. I). D. Keane), appeared for the defendant,
but was not called upon by the Court.
Under the direction of the Learned Judge, the jury
immediately returned a verdict of Not Guilty.

POLICE INT ELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.

A-master baker was brought before the Lord Mayor,
charged with having attempted to commit suicide.
A policeman stated, that two watermen had informed
him that the defendant had been rescued by them out of
the Thames, into which he had flung himself from Lon-
don-bridge, when in a state of intoxication. The de-
fendant was taken to a public-house in the neighbour-
hood and stripped, and thence conveyed to Guy's Hos-
pital, where he received the necessary attention and soon
recovered. Upon his person were found in a bag 144 105.
in gold, 11. 4.5. 2d. in silver, and some halfpence, with
which he had intended to go to make a purchase of flour
in Mark.lane.

Musard, a Horslydown waterman,' said, that he and
another waterman heard a splash in the river, and soon
after observed the defendant floating through the second
arch of the bridge. They picked him up and carried him
to the Swan public-house, and they believed the act was
the consequence of intoxication. The surgeon by whom
he had been examined in Guy's Hospital said the man
was drunk at the time.

The LORD MAYOR (to the defendant, who appeared
to be in a state of complete astonishment)—Well, sir,
what account can you give of this attempt upon your
own life ? The defendant—l really cannot give any
account of it at all. I have no reason on earth for at-
tempting to destroy myself, and I must have been mad
drunk to do what it appears I have done. I have as
good and comfortable a home as any man can have, and
I am a man of most sober and industrious habits, but if
I take any strong drink I am quite a madman.
The LORD MAYOR—Knowing that drink produced
such dreadful effects upon you, how did it happen that
you exposed' yourself to the temptation ? Defen-
dant—l don'Anow. I intended to see a party in Mark-
lane, from whom I meant to purchase flour, and unfor-
tunately I drank some ale in a tavern in which I was
waiting with another master baker.
The LORD MAYOR—Are you a married man ? De-
fendant —I have been married exactly nine weeks.
The LORD MAYOR—Have you had any quarrel with
your wife or her family? Defendant—Not the least.
No man can be happier in domestic circumstances than I
am. I never knew, nor had the most distant ides, that
I had jumped over the bridge until I recovered my
senses. lam quite unconscious of having made any at-
tempt of the kind.

The complainant's wife said, there never had been the
slightest misunderstanding between her husband and
herself, and he had never been before, since his mar-
riage, at all in liquor; on the contrary, he was a most
sober and hardworking man.
The LORD MAYOR—You must procure two sureties
to answer for your good behaviour for six months. If
you have any regard for your life, or for your wife, I
would advise you never to drink again.
The defendant said, he never again should yield to
any persuasion to touch strong liquor, and he felt most
grateful to those who had saved his life, and would wil-
lingly and liberally reward them.
Bail was immediately procured by the defendant, who
could scarcely be prevailed upon to believe that he had
been nearly drowned.
MARLBORO UGH-STREET
James Bromley Foord, formerly in the East India
Company's service, and a person of very respectable con-
nexions, was brought up for re-examination, charged
with having defrauded a number of tradesmen by means
of false and fraudulent representations.
The publicity given to the proceedings against the pri-
soner on Saturday last had the effect of completely
crowding the court with tradesmen, who had been either
victimized or nearly so by the prisoner.
The charge against the prisoner, found to be complete,
was the one for obtaining W. from Mr. Lane, the pro-
prietor of the hotel called Lane's Hotel, St. ,A'lban's- ,

place, by means of a 151. cheque, drawn on Messrs.
Gardner and Urqullart, 11, St. Helen's-place. The
cheque was of course dishonoured, as the prisoner was
not known to the firm.

The Prisoner changed his line of defence yesterday.
He said:the cheque was a good one ; the only mistake
he hail made was in referring it to Messrs. Grardner and
Co. instead of Messrs. Arbuthnot and Co.
Mr. HARDWICK asked if there were other charges
ready ?

A chorus of voices was i mmediately heard. One called
out, " I want to charge him about a sixty-guinea piano;
another, " And I about a 301. mare;" a third, And
about a saddle and bridle ;" a fourth, "And I about try-
ing to do me out of 851.

Mr. HARDWIGK decided on remanding the prisoner
again until Saturday, in order to get additional evidence
in support of other charges.
SOUTHWARK.
Ellen Merritt, a repulsive-looking middle-aged female,
was placed at the dock before Mr. Cottingham, charged
with wilfully murdering Thomas Winter,
a man with
whom she formerly cohabited.
William Winter, a son of the deceased, said that on
Wednesday evening, the 24th ult., he went home with
his father to the lodgings of the prisoner in Lornan-street,
Southwark. As soon as they got inside the room, wit-
ness asked the prisoner for his supper. She refused to
give him any, and because he grumbled at her conduct
she took up a portion of a beer-engine and struck him
on the head. The deceased immediately interfered, and
remonstrated with her for striking him with such a wen'
pon, when they had some words together. Witness's
head bled in much that he fell down, and was a short_
time after taken out of the room. A few minutes after..
wards he heard a loud smash in his father's room, and s
fall. He instantly went up stairs, and when they gain"d
an entrance they found the candle was not lighted, and
perceived his father lying on the floor with his face and
head covered with blood. No other person was in the
room but his father and the prisoner ; and the latter
jumped out of bed and put the light out, as soon as be
left the room.

Thomas Pilkington, the landlord of the house in which
the prisoner and deceased resided, said that he always
considered them married. They frequently had words,
but on the night in question the prisoner was more
violent than usual. While sitting in his room, he heard
last witness call out murder, which caused him to pro-
ceed up stairs, when he found the boy bleeding from 6
wound on the head. He took the lad down to dress the
wound, and while doing so he heard a crash and a heal!
fall on the floor. He instantly ran up stairs, but the door
was locked, and the candle put out, which induced hips
to call in the police.

Sergeant Yarnell, No. 5 M, said that on the night in
question he was called into the house occupied by the
latter witness. He told him to go up stairs, as he was
afraid murder had been committed in the prisoner's
room. Witness went up stairs and knocked at the
door, but no person answered for several minutes-
At last a female came to the door, and or-
claimed, "I can't find the key." He then burst open
the door, and with the assistance of a candle, which
last witness carried, ho perceived deceased lying on
the floor in a pool of blood, near the bed. The prisorl
was in bed, and in answer to his questions, she prises
d,
" that the deceased had thrown the contents of a cham-
ber utensil over her, and she in her passion wrested It
from him and threw it away. The candle went out, and
she could not say where it went." Witness procured
assistance and took the deceased and his son to the hos-
pital, where their wounds were dressed, and so little was
thought of those inflicted on the head of deceased that
he refused to give any charge against the prisoner.
few days afterwards he heard that the deceased bad
been admitted into Guy's Hospital, where he expired.
An inquest was held upon the body, when the prisoner
explained to the jury as witness had stated, in ccnse-
qnence of which a verdict of " Accidental Death" w 55
returned.

Mr. COTTINGHAM—After hearing such evidence as
I have heard today I am much surprised at such
termination of the inquest. Were all the witnesses e%i
amined? Sergeant Parnell—Yes, your Worship; 111
but the lad, who appeared to have been kept out of the
way.
Mr. James Stocker, house surgeon at Guy's Hospital'
said that on the night of the 24th ultimo, the deceased
was brought into the hospital, suffering from lacerated
wounds on the scalp. His head was dressed, and he was
put to bed, but nothing serious transpired until the
Friday, when erysipelas took place. He became deli-
rious, and although everything was done for him, he
expired on the Sunday fdllowing.
Mr. COTTINGHAM—Was erysipelas caused by the
wounds in the head? Witness—Yes it was. The
wounds were very bad, and his state of health was not
very good.
Mr. COTTINGHAN—What was the nature of the
wounds? Witness—There were several lacerated eats'
There was no fracture of the skull, but the scalp was
much torn. Erysipelas was the cause of death, and had
there been no wounds there would have been no ery"
sipelas.
Mr. COTTINGRAM—Then the wounds inflicted on hie
head were the cause of death. Was he aware that he
was near his death? Witness—The deceased was in
such a state that he was not able to understand anything
prior to his death. We never tell such persons when
they are at the approach of death.
Mr. ConaNcnem—Did ho make any communication
to any person respecting the affair while in the hospital?
Witness—Ho did not to any of the assistants, bat he
might to the nurses.

In answer to the charge, the prisoner said that the
deceased had been out of work twenty-three weeks, and
she sold a table to purchase tools for him, to enable him
to follow his occupation as a plumber. He obtained
some work at a public-house. When the boy cams
home he was saucy, and, in the heat of passion,
she took up something and struck him. Deceased
then interfered, when they had some words, and►
after she was in bed, he threw the contents of a utensil
over her. She became so exasperated at his conduct,
that she snatched the utensil from his grasp, and Orel
it away, not knowing that it struck deceased.
Sergeant Parnell informed the magistrate that she wxs
perfectly dry when he took her out of bed. The we;
was near the deceased, and none over the bed.
Mr. COTTING,HAM told the prisoner that there cow
be no doubt her violence had caused the death of the ne-
fortunate man. The evidence of the surgeon, the police"
constable, and other witnesses, and her own statement'
confirmed his opinion. He should, therefore, feel bound
to send her before another tribunal, when a jury WO%
have an opportunity of ascertaining whether she *ft/
guilty or not. The magistrate then ordered her to
committed to Newgate for trial, for the wilful murder
of
Thomas Winter.
The depositions were then taken by Mr. Chapple, the
second clerk, and the witnesses bound over to prosecute'

VIDILAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS.
jfi Copy of a letter from Mr. J. J. Wilson, Chemist, Monk Bar

York,
" To Mr. Thomas Prout,

" 14th June, 1847.
" Stn,—Having suffered most dreadfully for the last six years from
repeated attacks of the gout, and receiving no benefit from the best
medical advice I could obtain, I was induced about six weeks ago to
try a box of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills. When I commenced
taking them, which was in the afternoon, my feet and elbows were
very much swollen and inflamed : I was suffering the most intense
agony. I had that night sound and refreshing sleep, and awoke In
the morning comparatively free from pain; and before I had finished
the box, I never was better in my life : they have not only entirely
removed the gout, but have also very much improved my general
health. I have since recommended them to four individuals, who
have suffered much from gout and rheumatism ; and tl•ey all speak
highly of the benefit they have received from them. If you think
my case worthy of insertion among the many cures effected by your
wonderful medicine, you are at perfect liberty to publish it.
" I am, Sir, yours respectfully,
" J. J. WILSON."
The above testimonial exhibits the never-failing effects of this
valuable medicine, which affords to the afflicted with gout, rheuma-
tism, lumbago, sciatica, and all analogous complaints, speedy and
certain relief.
They require neither confinement nor attention of any kind, and
invariably prevent the disease attacking the stomach, brain, or other
vital part.

ment by alt respectable Medicine Vendors throughout the United

HISTORY OF THE LANDED GENTRY.—We under-
stand that the Supplement to Mr. Burke's important
work, i• The History of the Landed Gentry of Great
Britain and Ireland," is to be published at the end of the
present month. This Supplement will contain the His-
tory and Genealogy of about 600 additional Families,
with,references to upwards of 10,000 persons connected
by marriage or descent with the various houses. This
work has a national value. Its utility is not merely
temporary, but it will exist and be acknowledged as long
as the families whose names and genealogies are re-
corded in it continue to form an integral portion of the
English Constitution. As a correct record of descent
no family should be without it.—Evening Paper.

THE RECENT COLLISION ON THE NORTH-WESTERN
RAILWAY.—John Bentley, the driver of the engine of
the truck train, which came in fearful collision with a
train conveying a portion of the 9th Regiment to Man•
chester, at the Crewe station of the London and North-
Western Railway, has been committed to Cheater Castle
for six weeks, with hard labour, for gross neglect of duty
on the unfortunate occasion in question. It may be re-
membered that more than twenty of the 9th Regiment
were injured, morn or less, among whom were eight of
the officers, and considering the formidable character of
the collision, it is somewhat miraculous that a deplorable
loss of life did not ensue. We, however, are happy to
announce that all the sufferers have recovered.
