FETE.—The teetotallers held high
festival at the Surrey Zoological Gardens yesterday after-
noon, where they assembled in great numbers to indulge in
the varied amusements afforded by that favourite place of
resort. Looking at the wild beasts, hearing their own lions,
or orators, declaim on the advantages of thin potations,
drinking tea, listening to the Welsh choristers, eax_horns,
and other music, seemed to afford a happy and contented
afternoon to these disciples of a single idea. The entertain-
ments were so varied that on one or two occasions they
rather clashed, and to an unenlightened spectator would
have seemed like opposition. But all things with patience
come right at last, and under the presidency of Mr. Joseph
Livesley the orators descanted on the inestimable value of
total abstinence, were sarcastical on the opposing press, and
sang encouraging songs on the one great theme, more dis-
tinguished by energy than beauty. An address to the
Queen, and another to the House of Commons, were agreed
to, supported by the eloquence of Messrs. Hudson, Whit-
taker, Ripley, the Rev. F. Howell, and other gentlemen.
The speeches were all of the same character. Some struck
into the pathetic, others the comic path; others again took
an illustrative method of argument, and contended, for in-
stance, that because a plant withered on the application of
alcohol, or other intoxicating drinks, to ifs root, the human
frame must suffer in a similar way. However, all tended to
the same point, that without drinking cold water no possible
good could arise, and so passed the day to the great edifica-
tion and enlightenment of an attentive audience.
GOLD IN THE RHINE -SAND.—The Dutch Govern-
ment have taken up, of late, the much-controverted question
of the Rhine sand. Employes who have seen the washing
of gold in other parts of the globe, have visited the banks of
the Rhine about Manheim, Schaffhouse, and Basel, and have
taken large samples to Holland to be there examined. It is
not certain yet whether the washing of gold shall take
place in loco, or whether whole shiploads of auriferous sand
will be conveyed to Holland to be washed and smelted there.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
HOUSE OF LORDS, August 6.
Their Lordships sat in appeals at oue o'clock. The
Peers present were the Lord Chancellor, Lord Cran-
worth, and Earl Fortescue.

BRIGHT V. HUTTON.
HUTTON V. BRIGHT.

These were two cross appeals from a judgment of
Lord Cranworth's. The bill was filed originally by Mr.
Hutton, the official manager appointed under the Joint-
stock Companies Winding-up Act to wind up the affairs
of the Direct Birmingham, Oxford, Reading, and Brigh-
ton Railway Company. It appeard that on the 25th
September, 1845, the prospectus of this company was
first issued, containing among the names of the pro-
visional committee the name of' Mr. Bright, and on the
14th of October Mr. Bright also became an allottee, by
accepting an allotment of 100 shares, on which he paid
262/. 10s. as a deposit. On the 21st only 67,630 shares
out of the 80,000 of which the company was to consist,
had been applied for, and no Act of Parliament was
ever applied for, and the undertaking was afterwards
wholly abandoned. On the 21st December an order was
made by the late Vice-Chancellor of England to dissolve
and wind up the affairs of the company; and Master
Brougham, who was charged with that winding up, on
the 3rd of July made an order for a call of 104 per
share for the expenses incurred, upon each of the con-
tributories, among whom Mr. Bright was to bear a
rateable proportion of the expenses incurred from the
14th of October, the day on which he became en allottee,
up to the period when the company was dissolved. Lord
Cranworth, on a motion before the Court, confirmed the
said order, and against this decision both parties appealed,
Mr. Bright contending that no expenses whatever could
be recovered from him, and the official manager seeking
to fix Mr. Bright with a rateatrha-proportion of the' ex-
penses of the company from the time of its first forma-
tion down to its abandonment.

Mr. C. P. Cooper and Mr. Morris appeared for
appellant, Mr. Bright, and Mr. Bethell and Mr. I
burgh for the official manager.
At the conclusion of the arguments,
The LORD CHANCELLOR said that undoubtedly
was an important case, as it affected the rights and
bilities of very large numbers of persons; but when

this
lia-
hu

consented to have it argued here this day he had , not
properly reflected on the circumstance that the circuits
would deprive the House of the benefit of having the
assistance of the judges. However, the argument had
taken place, and his Noble and Learned Friend Lord
Uranworth and himself would give their fullest attention
to it. IF they could make up their minds upon it before
Friday, the parties should have notice, and judgment
should then be delivered. At present he could only
move to adjourn the further consideration of the case.
Adjourned accordingly.

VICE-CHANCERY COURT, Aug. G.
(Before Sir J. L. KNIGHT BRUCE.)
BOOSEY V JAMES.—" LA SONNAMBULA."—COPYRIGHT.
Mr. CAMPBELL, with whom was Mr. J. Raymond,
moved for an injunction, restraining the defandant,. Mr.
W. M. James (of Paternoster-row, and of Argyle-street,
and the proprietor of the Pianista, or Italian Opera and
Promenade Concert Magazine, of pianoforte and vocal
music), his workmen, servants, and agents, from print-
ing, publishing, selling, or disposing of, or causing or
procuring to be printed, published, sold, or disposed of,
any copy or copies of the ten principal airs from the
opera called La Sonnambula, composed by Bernal, or
any of them, or any part or parts thereof, in infringe-
ment of the plaintiff's copy right in the said airs, during
his term, or until further order. The plaintiff alleged
that he became proprietor of the musical copyright in
the airs in question in June, 1831. The airs in
question were:—" Tutto a gioja tutto e festa," cava-
tina; 2d, " Come per me Serene," recitative e
cavatina; 3d, " Prendi anel t'io dono," scena e
duetto; 4th, "Vi raviso e luoghi," cavatina; sth,
" A fosco cielo a notte;" 6th, " Son Geloso del Zefiro
errante," duetto; 7th, " Oh come lieto e i 1 popolo;" Bth,
" Tutto a sciolto oh die iiunesto;" scena and aria, 9th,
Ah non credos ;" and 10th, " Ah, non giunge uman
pensiero ;" that these airs. had been registered at Sta-
tioners' Hall at the same time, and that they were then
for the first time published in England, or (as the plain-
tiff believed) elsewhere. That, in 1844, he received
notice of the infringement of his copyright by a music-
seller in Holborn; that the action " Boosey v. Purday,"
was subsequently tried and. argued, and judgment was
pronounced in the plaintiff'm favour in all the issues ex-
cept the second and third, which related to the property ,1
in the copyright and its continuance; that subsequently,
the plaintiff's copyright in several of the airs was in-
fringed by other parties, against whom he had been
successful at law; that the tiefendant denied the plain-
tiff's title to the copyrig ht of a work composed by a
foreigner residing abroad.
His HONOUR observed that the subject of foreign
copyrights was one on vrlich the Courts had not been
very harmonious.
Mr. C. HALL, for the defendant, submitted that the
plaintiff's title was a seriouJi question, which ought first
to be tried at law. Ho was. instructed that the airs had
been publicly exposed for scale in the shops at Milan, and
had been in common use at private houses. To grant
an injunction would do much more injury to the defen-
dant than to the plaintiff, should it ultimately appear
that the latter had no legal title to the copyright.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR, without calling on Mr.
Campbell for a reply, and having been referred to "Cox
v. Strange," and " Boosey at. Davidson," said all honour
and morality are on the side of the plaintiff here. The
question is one of strict tau. That is the point I have
to decide. Into neither of n;he other considerations do I
enter. In my opinion, there is so strong a probability,
in point of fact, and of strict law, to say the least, in the
plaintiff's favour, that on his; giving the usual undertaking
as to damages, I think he is entitled to the injunction. I
am surprised that any ma.ct should be found willing to
take a point such as this to enable him to invade the
property of others. The plaintiff undertaking to abide
by any order which the Court might make respecting
damages, and bringing the action within three weeks,
let the injunction go. 1l:r. Hall, you require him to
bring the action? Mr. Ha. I.l.—Yes, sir.
His HONOUR—Let the do claration be delivered within
three weeks—you consent tA) accept it within that time.

ASSIZE INT' ELLIGENCE.
HOME CIRCUIT'.—Lewes, August 5.
CROWN SlDE.—(Be,ore Lord Chief Justice JEnvis.)
John Payne, 11, a lad of inoffensive appearance, was
indicted for the wilful muni er of William Gibson, by
stabbing him w.th a knife.
Mr. Johnson prosecuted; Mr. Clarkson was for the
defence.

The Learned COUNSEL, tin opening the case for the
prosecution, said it was a very painful position for him
to appear as prosecutor of a, lad of the tender age of the
prisoner, and especially when the charge against him
was of such a very serious and dreadful character. He
was fearful , however, that the evidence ho should lay
before them would leave no doubt that the unfortunate
boy who was stated in the it tdictment to have been killed
did in point of fact meet wit b his death from the act of
the prisoner, and the only q nestion for the consideration
of the jury would be whether that act amounted to the
crime of wilful murder, or qa hether it could be construed
as one amounting only to ma nslaughter. He then pro-
ceeded to state the facts of ti,e case, and it appeared that
on the evening of the 14th of June the deceased, who
was a lad about 13 years .old, had been sent by his
mother on an errand into the town of Hor-
sham, and as he was going over the cause-
way near the church, saw the prisoner sitting upon
the ground with ono of his boots off, and in the
act of sharpening a penknife. upon the stones. What
actually cccurred prior to any assault having been
committed did not very clew ly appear, but almost im-
mediately the deseased el claimed to the prisoner,
" You have done it now—y ou have stabbed me," and
began to cry. Tke prisons r upon this said, "I have
not hurt you, have I ?—don't cry." Some persons then
came up, and on the decease4l again saying that the pri-
soner had stabbed him, the :latter said that the deceased
boy bad struck him in the first, before he touched
him. The unfortunate deceased was taken home, and it
was discovered that he had been stabbed in the chest,
but the wound began to herd, and at first it was thought
that nothing serious would result from it. It turned
out, however, that the liver had been injured, and an
abscess subsequently formed in that organ, and the de-
ceased died on the 25th of June from the injury he had
received.

These facts were shortly proved in evidence, and in
addition a statement made by the deceased boy a
couple of days before his death was put in, in which
he stated positively that ho gave no provocation, but
said that after he bad passed the prisoner, while ho
was sitting in the position described, he got up and
followed him, and that on his coming up to him be deli-
berately stabbed him with the penknife that ho had been
sharpening. _

M.r. CLIaKsoN made a most feeling appeal to the jury
on behalf of the prisoner, observing that he felt it would
be idle to endeavour to save him from a conviction for
the crime of manslaughter, and the only struggle he
should make would be to endeavour to induce them to
ee to the charitable conclusion that there had been

must
take care that the law was carried out with integrity,
and that a verdict in no case should be returned except
in accordance with the sworn testimony in the case. It
was his duty to tell them that by the law of England
every act of homicide was looked upon in the light of
murder unless the circumstances connected with it were
such as to reduce the crime to one of lower magnitude,
and the question for them to consider was whether
there were any such circumstances in the present case.
There certainly was no evidence to show in what manner
Should
the transaction first commenced, and if the jury

think themselve..justified in coming to the conclusion
that the deceased had struck the prisoner first, and that
the blow with the knife was struck in the heat of the
moment in return, in that case they might find the pri-
soner guilty of manslaughter, and acquit him of the crime
of wilful murder.

The Jury, alter deliberating a short time, found the,
prisoner Guilty of manslaughter, at the same time re-
commending him to the merciful consideration of the
Court on account of his tender age.
The prisoner was immediately called up for judg-
ment, and

His LORDSHIP, addressing him, said that he had been
tried by a most merciful jury, and they had, fortunately
for him, come to the conclusion that he WAS only guilty
of manslaughter. They had also recommended him to
mercy, and he felt that the sentence he was about to pass
was a most merciful one for him, taking into considera-
tion the information he had received with regard to his
previous habits and conduct. Any one not cognizant of
those circumstances might consider the sentence a severe
one to be passed upon a child of his tender age; but ho
(the Learned Judge) felt that it was the only one that
would be calculated to break his obdurate temper and
violent hahite, and give him a chance for the future. Tae
sentence he should pass upon him was that of transpor-
tation for ten years, and the effect of that sentence would
be that he would bo removed to Parkhurst- prison, where
he would be placed in school and undergo severe train-
ing—a course which was the only one calculated to in-
duce him to change his habits and restrain his violent
passions.
It was stated in the court that the prisoner had on
several occasions exhibited a savage disposition by stab-
bing animals with his knife, and it was also said that it
was not the first time he had used, or endeavoured to
use, the sitme weapon to a human being.
August 6.
_ _ _

John Isaacs, 25, hawker, and Samuel Harwood, 25,
labourer, were indicted for burglariously breaking and
entering the dwelling-house of Harriet Stoner, and
stealing seven sovereigns, some silver money, and other
articles, her property.
Me. Johnson conducted the prosecution; Mr. Lilly
defended Isaacs; and Mr. Woollett appeared for Har-
wood.
This case created a good deal of interest, from the
fact of the prisoners being the remaining members of the
desperate gang of burglars who for so long a period in-
fested the counties of Surrey and Sussex. The prisoner
Samuel Harwood was tried with his brother Levi Har-
wood and a man named James Jones for the murder of
the Rev. Mr. Holiest at Frimley, at the last assizes for
Surrey, and upon that occasion he was acquitted, his
two companions being convicted and executed.
Mr. Jontesoet, in opening the case, said he felt it
would be idle for him to suppose that the jury had not
heard the names of the men at the bar in connexion
with many desperate outrages that had taken place in
this and the adjoining county, but he hoped they would
do all in their power to prevent what they had so beard
from affecting the present inquiry, and that the
decision they came to would be founded solely upon
the evidence be should lay before them in support of
the present charge. He then proceeded to describe
the particulars of t,ie offence, a❑d said that he should
call as a witness a man who was one of the party of ma-
rauders, and although his evidence was of course open
to observation and suspicion, he should so confirm him
by the evidence of other persons, that ho apprehended
the jury would entertain no doubt that he was telling
the truth, and that the charge was completely made cut
against the prisoners.
James Hambleton, the accomplice, who was brought
from the gaol to give his evidence, was the first witness
examined. He said—l have known the prisoner Isaacs
for ten or twelve years. I have only known the other
prisoner some twelve months ago last spring. I re-
member the burglary being committed at Mrs. Stoner's
at Kirdford, on the 3d of June, 1850. About a month
before I was encamped in a tent on Farnham-common,
and Isaacs came there to me and planned the robbery,
and he told me he should go to Guildford to get two
other men to join in it, and I was to take his old clothes
and a dark lantern to a place called Hyden's-ball, where
we were all to meet. A man named John Holmes,
or Smith, accompanied Isaacs to Guildford. I went
to klyden's-ball, as it had been arranged, and Isaacs
came there accompanied by the prisoner Samuel
Harwood, Levi Harwood, and Jones. (The two
latter were executed for the Frimley murder.)
Our party at this time consisted of six persons—my-
self, the two Harwoods, Holmes, Jones, and Isaacs.
The place where Mrs. Stoner lived was ten miles

from Hyden's-ball, and we arranged to go there by
and Samuel Harwood and I went together. We were
all to meet in a wood not far from Kirdford, and we did
so, and all six went to a lonely barn by the side of the
road, and about 50 yards from Mrs. Stoner's. Isaacs
and Elolmes then went to look at the house, and see it
all was quiet, and when they returned-we stripped ano•
disguised ourselves and put oa masks, and proceeded to
the house. I believe it was about twelve o'clock when
we got there. We found the house was secured, and we
went to the back part of it, and a hole was cut in the
shutter with a centre-bit, and the piece taken out, and
the shutter opened. A portion of the window-frame
was then removed, and either Samuel or Levi Harwood
got in, and went to open the front door, and we all went
in, except Jones, who was left outside to take care of
our clothes, and to give an alarm in case any ono should
approach. We searched the shop and the lower part of
the house, but could not find anything of value, and we
then proceeded towards the upper rooms of the house. The
stairs foot-door was fastened, arid when we got to it I heard
a woman's voice call out, " What are you after there?"
or some such expression, and wo immediately burst the
door open and ran up stairs. The woman ran out of her
bedroom into the passage, and I went into her room
and remained there. I saw Isaacs seize hold of Mrs.
Stoner, and drag her to her bedroom, and he at the same
time demanded money of her, with heavy threats. The
other men also got round her, and were searching about
for property. I and Isaacs and Holmes were armed
with a bludgeon, and the Guildford men, Levi Harwood,
Samuel Harwood, and Jones. each had a pistol. Soon
after this, I saw Isaacs take Mrs. Stoner's pocket, and
we then all came down stairs. By this time it was
getting daylight. We found Jones outside, where we
had left him, and we all proceeded to a wood, where we
shared the money. Only 3s. 6d. was given to me at this
time. While we were in the wood Isaacs said that he
could not see the woman quite so well as he wished, and
that be had slipped off ,his mask on purpose to do so.
After we had divided the money I went back to Farn-
ham-common. Isaacs at this time did not reside in any
particular place, and I understood that he used to go
about the country in a travelling waggon.
This witness was cross-examined at some length by
both the counsel for the prisoners, but he persisted in
his story, and nothing whatever favourable to them was
elicited.

Mrs. Harriet Stoner said—l keep a shop at liirdford,
in this county, and did so on the night of the 3d of June,
1850. On that night I secured the fastenings of the
house myself, and went to bed about half-past eleven
o'clock. Between one and two o'clock on the following
morning I was awoke by hearing a noise at the bottom
of the stairs, and I called out to know who was there,
and the moment I did so the stair door was burst in,
and I heard the footsteps of several men ascending the
stairs. I went out of my room into the passage, and saw
two men with masks on and each with a pistol in his
hand. They seized hold of me and throw me into a
corner, and at the same time exclaimed, " Deliver your
money, or we will blow your brains out." I then ob-
served another man. He also had a mask on, and a
chisel was in his hand. This man held me down on the
ground and flourished the chisel over my face and throat,
and he used very violent language to me. I tried to
struggle, and one of the men pressed my chest and also
put his hand over my mouth, and some one called out
" Stop her noise." All the men who were about me re-
peatedly demanded my money, and threatened to blow my
brains out if I did not tell them where it was kept. I
was kept in this position for several minutes, and I
then heard a man's voice from an adjoining room say
" Blow her brains out if she don't tell." One of the
men who had a pistol then put
.his finger on the trigger
and said, " I will blow your brains out if you don't tell
us directly where your money is." A man who had a
round frock on said, " Don't kill her." The mask of
this man fell off at that moment, and I had an opportu-
nity of seeing his Lee distinctly. I am sure the pri-
soner Isaacs is that man. I have no doubt whatever of
it. After his mask was off he fell back to some distance
from me, and I exclaimed, " Spare my life! Lord have
mercy upon me!" One of the men who was holding me
said to the man who had fallen back, " Come on, you
fool!" Isaacs looked very pale at this time. Another
man then came up to me with a light, and he handed
me the keys. I saw five men in the house altogether.
When the keys were brought to me they told me to
go and get the money, and said they knew I had
money, and that they had come for it, and were deter-
minedw to have it, and they would blow out my brains if
I did not give it to them. One of the party, after this
had been said, called out, " Blow her brains out, if
she don't tell." I then said that I had got a little
money, and they told me to find it, snd again threa-
tened me with violence if I did not do so. One of the
men then seized me by the nose and dragged me
towards my bedroom, and the others pushed me behind,
and I saw the muzzles of two pistols close to my head.
When I got into my bedroom I took my pocket from
under the pillow, and two of the men made a snatch at
it, and one of them got it. I paid particular attention to
the voice of one of the men who stood over me, and
after the prisoner Harwood was in custody I had an op-
portunity of hearing his voice, and I recognised it imme-
diately as the same. It was a peculiar voice. It was not
rough, but very shrill, and I can speak positively to the
prisoner's being the same. The size and general appear-
ance of the prisoner also correspond with those of one of
the men who stood over me with a pistol. There was
about 71. 10s. in gold and 31. or 41. in silver in the
pocket. When the men had got possession of it they
all went down stairs, and I followed them, and as the
last of them went out at the back door he put a pistol
in my face and said, " Silence!" and I then saw them all
jump over the hedge into the lane. A man named En-
tickness was in my service, and at the time the men
were leaving the house I saw him at another part of the
premises.
Entickuess, the person referred to, identified one of
the prisoners as being among the party whom he saw
leaving the house after the robbery, and several wit-

nesses were examined to confirm the testimony of the
man nambleton, which they did in several material par-
ticulars.

The Learned Counsel for the prisoners then severally
addressed the jury, the principal point relied upon being,
of course, that the accomplice was unworthy of credit.
The Learned JUDGE having summed up, the jury al-
most immediately returned a verdict of Guilty.
The prisoners were at once called up for jad,gment,
when Isaacs declared that his companion was perfectly
innocent of the crime of which he had been convicted.

The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said he would pay no at-
tention to such an assertion as that which had been
made by the prisoner. They had both been declared
guilty by the jury, and their offence was one of the
most serious and aggravated ch lracter. fie therefore
felt himself compelled to inflict the full penalty of the
law, which was that they should severally be transported
for life,

Mr. JOHNSON then applied to his Lordship on behalf
of Mr. Morton, the superintendent of the Tunbridge
Wells police, through whose instrumentality the case had
mainly been made out, to order the payment of a sum of
money which he had been compelled to pay in con-
nexion with the proceedings. It appeared by an affidavit
that was put in, that upon the apprehension of the pri-
soner Isaacs at From., in Somersetshire, the officer bad
B,,arched certain premises where a valuable ring, part of
the produce of a burglary at Uckfield, was discovered,
and an action for trespass had been brought against him
in the County Court for the district, and the judge had
awarded 101, damages against him, and the casts. He
had incurred great expense in tracing the prisoners, and
the Learned Counsel said he trusted that, under the cir-
cumstances, the Court would order him to be repaid the
amount.

The CHIEF JUSTICE said it appeared a very extraor-
dinary judgment of the Country Court judge, in a case
where stolen property appeared to have been actually
found, but he had no power to make an order for the re-
payment of the money. Ire should, however, allow the
officer the travelling expenses he had incurred, and also
order him a reward of 201. for the zeal he had displayed
in detecting the prisoners.
(Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON.)
Richard Mirfin, alias Dudley, 39, a person of respect-
able appearance, was indicted for feloniously forging and
uttering a cheque for 325 L, with intent to defraud the
London and County Bank.
Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Attree were for the prosecu-
tion; Mr. Sergeant Shee and Mr. Hawkins were for the
defence.

The circumstances of this case appeared to be of rather
a peculiar character. From the evidence adduced for the
prosecution it would seem that the prisoner had been
staying for some time atßrighton, and that hehad become
acquainted there with a gentleman named Tennent, who
kept an account with the Brighton branch of the London
end County Bank, and there had been money transac-
tions between them. On the morning of the 15th of May
a person went to the Star Inn at Lewes, and he sent a
boy with the cheque in question, which purported to be
signed by Mr. Tennent, by the train to Brighton, for the
purpose of getting it cashed. The cheque was not paid,
and some one connected with the bank returned with the
boy to Lewes, but the person who sent him bad, it ap-
peared, taken the alarm and gone off. The prisoner was
afterwards taken into custody in London, and the boy
and the waiter both asserted that he was the person who
had sent the cheque.
The defence set up to this case was, that the witnesses
were mistaken as to the identity of the prisoner, and se-
veral respectable persons were called, who stated in the
most positive manner that the prisoner was in London
at the time he was supposed to have been at Lewes, and
to have sent the cheque in the way stated.
Baron ALDERSON, before the witnesses for the defence
bad all been examined, expressed an opinion that the
case ought not to go any further. People, he said, were
continually making mistakes upon the question of iden-
tity; and he did not think, if a single witness had not
been called for the prisoner, that there was by any means
sufficient evidence to warrant a conviction in the present
case.

Mr. CLARKSON said that, after this intimation from his
Lordship, he should withdraw at once from the prosecu-
tion, but ho at the same time felt it right to state that the
London and County Bank, upon the evidence as it was
Isid before them, thought that they were only doing their
duty in instituting a prosecution.
Baron ALDERSON said there was no blame to be at-
tached to any person. It was a case of suspicion, and
that was all; but it was very proper to be inquired into.
A verdict of Not Guilty was then taken, and the pri-
soner Ras ordered to be immediately discharged.
The business of these assizes was shortly afterwards
brought to a termination.

WESTERN CIRCUIT.—Bodmin, Aug. 5.

;I PRIUS COURT.,—(Bofure Mr. Justice COLE-
RIDGE and a Special Jury.)
LA.NDERYON V. ALLEN.

Mr. Sergeant Kinglake and Mr. M. Smith were coun-
sel for the plaintiff, and Mr. Crowder and Mr. Kerslake
for the defendant.

This was an action brought to recover compensation in
damages from the defendant for having had criminal
coversation with the plaintiff's wife. The plaintiff, in
1843, being then twenty-four years of age, married Miss
Harriet Ann Brown, the daughter of a farmer, she being
twenty years of age. He then took the King's Arms Inn
at Falmouth, and in course of time his wife had two chil-
dren. The defendant at that time was residing in Oporto,
and there ho married. In 1844 ho returned to Falmouth,
and sat up in business as a wine-merchant. He was then
twenty-nine years old. An intimacy soon sprang up be-
tween these parties in consequence of the defendant sup-
plying the plaintiff with wine. The plaintiff also had a
farm in the neighbourhood of Falmouth. In order to
carry on the business of the tavern the plaintiff's
wife used to retire to bed at an early hour, the
plaintiff himself remaining up until the house
was closed. The wife got up early in the morn-
ing, the plaintiff continuing in bed longer. As the
farm had to be looked after, the plaintiff was accus-
tomed, as soon as he had breakfasted, to leave his house
and go to his farm. Time passed on, and the plaintiff
and his wife appeared to live on the most affectionate
terms, the defendant continually looking in. In the
year 1849 the plaintiff took the Red Lion Hotel at
Truro, to which house he removed. The defendant
shortly afterwards took some wine and spirit stores in
Truro, and in order to attend to these stores he took a
sitting-room and bed-room in the Red Lion. The plain-
tiff and his wife still continued to live on the most affec-
tionate terms, but on the 14th of April the plaintiff bad
left Truro fur the purpose of going to a farm in the
neighbourhood. It was supposed that he would be ab-
sent for many hours, but from some cause or other he
shortly returned. He went into the Red Lion and
asked for his wife, and was told she was upstairs. He
therefore went up, and upon going to a sitting-room,
No. 9, which was occupied by the defendant, he found
the door was fastened. Ile asked to be admitted,
but could not obtain admission. Ile proceeded to
break open the door, and succeeded in seeing the 'de-
fendant with his dress disarranged and his wife in the
room; the appearances were such as to convince him
that his happiness was destroyed. He called his ser-
vants and accused his wife of infidelity. She said, You
have not caught us," and the defendant said, " Listen
to reason." As soon as this discovery was made the
plaintiff was informed of different facts—that for years,
before he was down in the morning and after ho had
gone to his farm, the defendant, who was well ac-
quainted with his habits, was constantly visiting Mrs.
Landeryon; they used to go into a room together, draw
down the blinds, and remain together for a length of
time. She had been sitting on the defendant's knee and I
he had been seen kissing her, and when the plaintiff was
from home at night the defendant had remained with
Mrs. Landeryon in a room in the dark for hours.
All the circumstances that now came to his knowledge
made it clear to the plaintiff that his wife and the de-
fendant had been carrying on an adulterous intercourse
for years.

A barmaid stated that there were two panes of glass
broken of the window of the room in which she was, and
she had often heard the defendant and Mrs. Landeryon
outside whispering and kissing. She thought it was the
sound as of kissing. She did not know anything of
kissing her.self, but she thought it was kissing, though
she might have been mistaken. This was very frequent.
She had seen the defendant go into a room, and Mrs.
Landeryon soon followed him, and then the blind was
drawn down. She had seen this more than half a dozen
times. The defendant was there five or six times a-day
for two years. Her suspicions were aroused, and she
used to take notice of it. She thought there was no
good going on, and yet she did not tell the plaintiff al-
though ho was her cousin. She did not like to wound
his feelings. She had once knocked at the door of the
room in which they were, but she was not admitted.
She had known another barmaid stand in the passage to
give signal, sometimes by a cough and sometimes by a
laugh. This was when Mr. Allen and Mrs. Landeryon
were in a room together. Upon one occasion the plain-
tiff came home when his wife and the defendant were
in the room together. She came out and went up stairs.
Her hair and collar were disarranged. She came down
in a few minutes with everything put in order.
The ostler said that as soon as the plaintiff went to the
farm the wife always went into a particular room and
pulled down the blind, and then the defendant came.
The defendant could see the plaintiff leave from his own
house. _ _

A great number of witnesses were examined, who
spoke to small circumstances, all of which tended to
show that there had been great intimacy between the
parties.
For the defendant it was contended, in the first place,
that when persons had been extremely intimate for many
years that which would have led to suspicion among
others was perfectly harmless and justifiable as regarded
such parties. It was
_thencontended that the prying
curiosity of a number of individuals had magnified acts
innocent,
which were in themselves into proof of guilt,
and that it was impossible if an improper intercourse had
been carried on for so, any years, but the plaintiff must
have been apprised of it at a much earlier period. Upon
the whole the jury were urged to believe that the whole
was a mere phantom, and that there was no proof of
anythirg criminal having taken place.
The Learned JUDGE having summed up,
The jury retired and at length returned a verdict for
the plaintiff—damages 3501.

some
grievous bodily harm.
Mr. irFawcett prosecuted; the prisoner was undo.
fended.

It appeared from the evidence of the witnesses that
on the 8 411 of February last there had been a wedding at
Skinburness, and some of the parties had adjourned to a
public-house called Penrice's for the purpose of merry-
making, amongst whom were the prosecutor and pri-
soner. The prisoner left this public-house and went
home about eleven o'clock at night, his house not being
far off, and soon after, the prosecutor followed him, ac-
companied by several other persons, singing a song.
When opposite the prisoner's door one witness saw the
prisoner put a gun through a hole in a broken pane of
glass iu his window, and heard him cry out, " By G-
I will shoot you." The witness said, " Jack, you will
not shoot me," and hastily got past the door. Almost
immediately after he heard a gun go off. The prose-
cutor appeared to have followed immediately after this
witness, and some one from behind the prosecutor threw
a stone at the prisoner's door, immediately after which
the prisoner fired and hit the prosecutor in the thigh.
The prosecutor fell, and was afterwards carried to the
infirmary, where ho was confined eleven weeks. Several
shots had penetrated his thigh. The wound, however,
was superficial, and not dangerous.
For the defence the prisoner's daughter was called,
and she stated that a party of men had been throwing
stones at her father's house all the night, and had broken
the windows and door with stones, until she was afraid
of her life. She told her father la hen he came home
what had happened, and he had no sooner got into the
house than a volley of stones was thrown at the door
after him.

His LORDSHIP, in summing up, directed the jury that
if in their opinion the prisoner had dono no moro than
was necessary to protect his house when thus attacked
at midnight, and his daughter frightened for her life, to
find him not guilty.
The jury, after a short consultation, Acquitted the
prisoner.

Hugh Monteith, aged is, and Thomas Tinning, aged
50, were indicted for having assaulted and robbed Ro-
bert Carson, near Carlisle, on the sth of July last.
Mr. Overend and Mr. Hodgson prosecuted; the pri-
soners were undefended.

It appeared that the prosecutor was a railway-guard,
travelling between Carlisle and Ste anraer, and on the
nth of last July he went to bathe in the river Eden, near
Stoneyholme. He had been bathing about five minutes,
and had just come out of the river and begun dressing,
when a man came up to him with a black mask on his
face, and asked him if he had any money in his pocket.
Prosecutor said that wa3 not his business, when the man
stepped back and pulled out a six-barrelled revolving
pistol, and said, " Give me your purse, or I'il blow your
brains out." Prosecutor not liking the look of the pis-
tol, thought it better to give up his money, and handed
the man 35., all the money ho had, and the man then
demanded and got his watch, and went away. The
man was very like the prisoner Monteith in person, and
was dressed like him. Information was given to the po-
lice, and suspicion fixed on the two prisoners, who were
seen together at the railway station, going to Dumfries,
on the 12th of July. They were followed there, and
the prisoner Tinning was apprehended at a lodging-
house at Maxwell•town, near Dumfries, and in
his pockets were found a brace of loaded Fs-
tols, three signal whistles, a bullet mould, ten
bullets of different sizes, powder, and caps. On
being searched by the officer, he said, " Are you going
to take my bull-dogs from me?" Afterwards a small
parcel was found in a cradle in the room where he was,
which
_was found to contain the works of a watch, which
the prosecutor identified as his. The other prisoner was
also apprehended at a lodging-house in Dumfries, where
he was found in bed. On the officer entering his room
he sprang out of bed and endeavoured to get his coat, in
the pockets of which a six-barrelled revolving pistol was
found, each barrel loaded—He aa'4, hod he known it was
the officer he would have put threJ br:f.t.t.: into him. He
then asked if the officer had got Tinning.
This was the case for the prosecution.
The prisoner Monteith put in a written defence, ac-
knowledging that he, in company with Tinning, had
committed two other highway robberies, but denying par-
ticipation in this particular one.
His LORDSHIP having summed up,
The jury found both the prisoners Guilty.
They were afterwards charged with robbing at mid-
day a chemist and druggist travelling in his gig, about a
mile from Carlisle, on the 11th day of July last, present-
ing a pistol at his head and demanding his money.
To this charge Monteith pleaded Guilty. Tho other
prisoner was found Guilty.
There were two other similar charges against the pri-
soners, to which they pleaded Guilty.
They were sentenced to be transported for 15 years.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Aug. 6.
(Before Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, Assistant Judge, and a
Bench of Magistrates.)
AN EXTRAORDINARY CAREER OF CRlME.—James
Williams, 17, was indicted for having stolen a pair of
silver spectacles, value 215., the property of William
Blackhouse, from the person of Jane, his wife.
Mr. Spicer appeared for the prisoner.
Michael Haydon, the well-known detective officer of
the City police, stated that he left Cremorne Gardens by
the last boat on the night of the 21st of July. The pri-
soner came in the same boat. The prosecutrix quitted
the vessel at Hungerford-pier, when she wasimmethately
followed by the prisoner. Witness, who was close at
hand, saw the prisoner put his right hand into the
lady's pocket, and draw it out again. Witness then
stepped forward and seized his hand, and the contents
fell to the ground, which proved to be a pair of silver
spectacles, upon which he took the prisoner into cus-
tody. On the way to the station-house the prisoner
asked him whether they had not better " square it,"
and added that if be would call upon the old man ho
would give him a pound for himself, as be had nut got
him to rights.
Mrs. Blackhouse proved that the spectacles were her
property, and that they were safe in her possession five
minutes before her attention was called to her loss by the
officer.

Mr. SPICER cross-examined the witnesses, but de-
clined to address the jury for the prisoner, believing it to
bo impossible to struggle against the evidence.
The jury instantly found the prisoner Guilty.
William Combo, police-constable 94 L, then gave the
following history of the prisoner, whom he stated ho had
known for a number of years:—ln February, 1841, he
was convicted at the Surrey Sessions, and sentenced to
imprisonment for three months; on the 9th of August,
1843, he was again tried at the Westminster Sessions,
and sentenced to be transported for seven years. (This
sentence was afterwards remitted by the Secretary of
State.) On the Bth of October, in the following year.
he again appeared at the Surrey Sessions, and was sen-
tenced to imprisonment for three months. He appeared
a third time at the Surrey Sessions, on the 6th of No-
vember, 1845, when he was fortunate in being acquitted
of the charge. Nothing further is traced as to his doings
until the 7th of August, 1848, when he, for the fourth
time, was brought up at the Surrey Sessions, and sen-
tenced to be imprisoned for three months. The next
that is heard of him is at the Central Criminal Court, on
the 11th of June, 1849, when he was convicted and sea-
-1 tenced to be imprisoned for twelve months, but had been
out of prison little more than a month, when ho was
again tried at his old quarters at the Surrey Sessions,
for the fifth time, but was again fortunate in obtaining
an acquittal. The next offence, on the 21st of July,
brought him before this Court, but in the intervals that
had elapsed between one imprisonment and another, at
various times he had been frequently summarily con-
victed, and sentenced to terms of imprisonment varying
from seven to fourteen days.
The Learned JUDGE said that this lad, who was now
only 17 years of ago was eight years ago one of the
boys who was transpoßed for seven years, for the pur-
pose of being sent to Parkhurst, but it appeared that
he did not fall under the " qualifications' required for
admission to that establishment, which were that he
should be 13 years of age, 5 feet 4 inchee in height, and that
he should be a great rogue. He was then young, in
years and in crime, and the effect was, that ixisteaa_s tof
..;
being kept out of harm's way, and put to some_ useful
employment, he was pardoned by the Secretary t
°the bar
to pursue that career that had brought
this day. He should, therefore, under thehcimicieulnstances.
the power
sentence the prisoner to the longest term
of the Court, and that was, that he be transported for the
term of ten years.
ROBBERY AT M. SOYER'S SY/IPos-i UM, KENSINGTON.—

cloth and other articles, value 305., the property of Mr.

open and the watch man not in his box, together with
the fact of a woman being seen just leaving the premises

on searching his residence in Field-street, 14 tumblers
and 14 wino glasses were found, which were identified as
belonging to the contractor for linen, glass, &c., at M.
