THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBE

tho judge. He bd been an agent of the Court of
Requests in Bristol, and had latterly been occupied in
getting in debts for persons in Liverpool and Birken-
head. He had had a card printed, " Agent to the
County Courts of Liverpool and Birkenhead," but
that was a mistake of the printer's in putting " agent
to," instead of "agent in," &c. Did not know what
was voluntary evidence. He saw Hartley sign the
book at the station.—[This was afterwards contra-
dicted by the superintendent, who produced the book.]
The former judge of this court had, he believed, or-
dered the card he referred to to be impounded, and
might have said witness must be looked well after.

The superintendent of police, Mr. Clouch, deposed
to the nature of the charge at the station.
The examiner of the court proved the orders of the
judge to arrest Mr. Whitty, when
Sir Georg,. Stephen, in a powerful speech, ad-
dressed the court for the defendant, contending that
there had been no offence, and that his honour had
completely mistaken his powers, and exceeded his j uris-
diction. He should regret uttering any sentiment
derogatory to the character of the profession, but he
maintained the right of the defendant's father to com-
ment fairly on the proceedings of that court. The
defendant had not even been proved to have resisted
the officers in what he (the Learned Counsel) would
designate an illegal and unconstitutional attack upon
Mr. Whitty in his own house.
The Judge, in a speech of two hours' duration, re-
ferred to all manner of subjects, into which it would
be utterly impossible in our limits for us to enter.
He was twice affected even to tears, and the effect on
the audience was of the most painful description.
Up to the period of this report being dispatched no
decision bad been come to in the case.

(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH)
In concluding John Whitty, case, his
Honour (Mr. Itamshay) said he should impose fine of 21. for insulting Hartley, and 2/. for the same
offence against Charnley, or be imprisoned seven
days in Lancaster Castle. He was also sentenced to
pay 21. each to the same men for obstructing them in
the execution of their duty. There was no imprison-
ment added to the latter penalty, because he looked
upon it as a debt recoverable by action, and if not then
paid, the defendant would be liable to 80 days' impri-
sonment. If an action were brought, the damages
might, or might not, be laid at 501., and he did not
know that he should, if he tried the cause, be justi-
fied in cutting the damages down.
The charge against the police officers was with-
drawn.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
WORSHIP-STREET.
Charles, Jarmain, a horsekeeper in the service of
Mr. (aeorge Page, a cab proprietor in James-street,
Mile-end Old-town, was charged with the wilful
murder of a man named Plimpton, a stableman in the
same employment.
John Marshall said, I am also in the service of Mr.
Page as a labourer, and knew the deceased, who was
engaged in the stables. About one o'clock this after-
noon I was busy in one of the lofts, when I heard the
prisoner and the deceased quarrelling at a stable door
on the opposite side. The deceased had a mop in his
hand, and the prisoner had the stable-fork produced
in his. Some more words ensued between them, and
I then saw the deceased strike the prisoner with the
mop across his shoulder; they were facing each other,
and he struck him apparently as hard as he could.
The prisoner upon that exclaimed, " I will stake the
with this fork," but did not strike the deceased,
and I went back into the loft, and did not see what
afterwards took place. About a quarter of an hour af-
terwards, however, I bad occasion to go down into the
stable, and then saw the deceased lying upon the
ground fainting and speechless. I lifted him up, but
he could not utter a word, and I then saw that he
was bleeding, but not profusely, from a wound in the
breast, just beneath the nipple. The deceased had
only his shirt on, and the prisoner, who was standing.
by his side assisting him, ran off for a small quantity
of brandy, which he poured down the deceased 'a
throat, but I still did not hear him utter a word. The
prisoner, I, and another man then carried the
de-
ceased to some clean straw, upon which we laid him,
and I went to get my dinner, leaving the prisoner and
another man with him. On my return I still found
the deceased lying on the straw, whether alive or
dead then I do not know, but he was perfectly still.
The other man was at that time looking to the
deceased, while the prisoner was getting his horses
ready in the same stable, and he remained there for
a whole quarter of an hour. A cabman and another
horsekeeper then came in, when by their advice we
took the deceased to the London Hospital, and upon
searching about I found the fork the prisoner had
had in an adjoining stable.
The prisoner here incautiously asked the witness—
Did you see what the deceased bad done to me before
I struck him with the fork ?
The witness replied in the negative, and the magis-
trate directed the question and answer to be at once
taken down by Mr. Vine, the chief clerk.
Henry Taylor, a constable of the K division,
stated—About half-past two this afternoon I re-
ceived information of the deceased having been killed
by the prisoner, and therefore lay in wait at the end
of the Bethnal-green.road to effect his apprehension.
A short time after the prisoner came down the road
with a pair of horses, and I immediately stopped him
and told him he must go to the station-house with
me. I was about to tell him what I wanted him
for, but before I could do so he said, " I know what
you want me for ; is he dead ?" I said I believed he
was, from the informntion I had had ; and he replied,
" He threw me down behind a kicking horse, and I
therefore struck him with the fork, and it went into
his breast." He then said, "Take me straight to the
the station as soon as you can, but don't take me into
the yard again. I was, however, obliged to take him
to the yard, and then transferred him to the station.
Sergeant Curtis, 13 K, said—l went to Mr. Page's
yard at two o'clock to capture the prisoner, but did

and his dealing him a
thrust in return with the fork. The prisoner then
added, " After I had struck him with the fork he ran
t btebehind
ind a last
a witness,
skicking horse, to
the
deceased
me half-way round the yard, so that I did not think
there was much the matter with him." When the
prisoner first began to make this statement I told him
to be cautious what he said, as it would be used
against him, and he cried very much and seemed very
sorry. The witness produced the instrument with
which the stab had been inflicted, an ordinary two-
pronged stable fork, the tines of which exhibited no
stains of blood, as it had evidently been since used ;
but the witness Marshall positively identified it as the
i
one he had seen n the possession of the prisoner at
the time of his quarrel with the deceased, and the
former did not deny it. The first witness also added,
in answer to a question, that though the deceased, on
his way to the hospital, was perfectly speechless and
rapidly sinking, he did not appear to be dead, but
that directly after he reached that institution it was
pronounced by the surgeon who examined him that
life was extinct.
The prisoner, who while at the bar seemed to be
perfectly careless as to the evidence detailed against
him, and afterwards went soundly to sleep on being
locked up in the cell, offered no observations in reply
to the charge, and, the witnesses having signed their
depositions, he was remanded until that day week for
the attendance of the surgeon to depose to the appear-
ances upon the post mortem examination.

prescribed by the pnoviso of the 27th section are satis-
fied. Now, it appears in the first place that he has
occupied the premises for twelve calendar months pre-
vious to the last day of July, as required by that pro-
viso. It appears, in the second place, that the premises
in respect of which he claims registration are not
"situate in any parish or township rated for the relief
of the poor." And consequently he neither has been,
nor could have been, so rated in respect of such pre-
mises ; he is therefore within the exception of the
'proviso. It appears, in the third place, that no poor-
rates or assessed taxes had become payable from him
in respect of such premises, the fact being, as I un-
derstandit, that this gentleman's chambers in the
Charter-house are exempt from poor-rates, because
they are extra-parochial; and from assessed taxes be-
cause they are either below the standard of taxation,
or are saved from taxation, as " being provided for the
reception and relief of poor persons;" so that in this
respect no default is imputable to the claimant. In
the fourth and last place, the statutory obligation
of residence has been satisfied, Mr. Banister having
for years had no other home but the premises in
question. All the requirements therefore of the 27th
section, both in the enacting part and in the proviso,
seemed to be fully met and answered by the case of
the claimant, unless there be something in his status
as one of the brothers of the Cearter-house that must
exclude him from the franchise. It is said he lives on
charity ; so likewise do the fellows of a college. They
live on charity, if by charity is meant the bounty of
their founders; but they are not on that account ex-
cluded from civil rights, or deemed incapable of exer-
cising the privileges of citizens. By the deed of foun-
dation, the eighty brothers of the Charter-house are to
be gentlemen by descent, merchants ruined by the dis-
asters of commerce, or soldiers mutilated in the service
of their country. From the moment of their appoint-
ment they are independent. They cannot be displaced
or disturbed at the caprice of a governor. They seem
to me to have a higher estate than is required for the
purposes of this legislation. lam therefore of opinion
that Mr. Banister's claim is well founded ; and I com-
ply with it accordingly.
The name of John George Fraine Banister was then
inserted, and the Revising Barrister having signed the
lists, the business of the Finsbury registration was
brought to a close.

Die result of this judgment will be to admit to the
franchise eighty "poor brethren" of this establish-
ment.

THE LIBERATION OF KOSSUTH

(From the Times.)
SOUTHAMPTON, WEDNESDAY, OCT. I.—Louis
Kossuth, the ex-leader of the Hungarian insurrection,
is daily expected to arrive at Southampton. He will
be accompanied by several military and civil officers
connected with the Hungarian revolution during the
epoch of 1849, and who have shared his detention at
Kutahia, in Turkey.
From the conflicting accounts which have been re-
ceived relative to the movements of Kossuth, it is
doubtful whether he will land at this port from the
American steam-frigate Mississippi (now on her way
from the Mediterranean to Southampton), or whether
he will come via Paris and Havre. It is most gene-
rally thought that the former route will be adopted,
as, the Mississippi having been specially placed at the
disposal of Kossuth by the American Government,
and there might be some objection to his passage
through the French territory, there is reason to be-
lieve that Kossuth will reach Southampton about
Monday or Tuesday next from Marseilles via Gibral-
tar, although his positive departure from Marseilles
has not yet been announced.

The following is the copy of a letter addressed to
the Mayor of Southampton by Lieutenant-Colonel
Jhaski, the private secretary of Kossuth. It was re-
ceived last night :

"Marseilles, Sept. 27.
"Sir,—His Excellency Governor Kossuth (my chief),
with thankful sentimnts acknowledging the lively inte-
rest and the high-minded sympathy which the generous
city of Southampton, and you, Sir, particularly, were on
so many occasions honouring, with the Hungarian cause,
the fate of its exiled leader, and of all Hungarian exiles
who chanced to land on your hospitable shore, intrusted
me with the agreeable duty to present to you, Sir, his
hearty compliments, and respectfully to inform you that,
embarked with the generous consent of his Majesty the
Sultan, without Amy previous condition whatever, but
rather with illimited liberty, oil board the United States
steam-frigate Mississippi, sent over by the Congress and
Government of the United States precisely for his and
associates' liberation from Kutahia, stopped at Mar-
seilles with the purpose to pass through France directly
to England, and to land from Havro at Southampton,
having the warm desire to thank personally for the pro
tection which the public opinion of the high-minded
people of England pleased to throw in the balance of his
destiny.

" Krrived here yesterday, his Excellency immediately
applied to M, le Prefet of this department to grant him
and family free passage through France. M. le Prefet
judged it convenient to report to Paris by telegraph to
the Ministry, but the action of the telegraph being bin.
dared by the misty weather, answer has not yet arrived.
" So, not being able to give you exact information
about the issue, or in case of granted passage about the
time of his Excellency's arrival at Southampton, still I
feel gratified to be the organ of communication of his
said design, and of his firm intention to go, in every
else, for some few days to England; which should he be
not permitted to execute directly from Marseilles, he has
decided to proceed immediately to Gibraltar, and hence
to visit England and ask for an asylum to his children
there, while he proceeds to the United States, to thank
personally for the most generous aid and assistance
which the people, Congress, and Government of the
United States honoured him with.

" His Excellency left Kutahia with the confident hope
that the sacred cause which it is his glory to represent
cannot fail to have a future yet, being honoured as it is
by the powerful sympathy of the English race—that
mighty, great, and glorious guardian of justice, right,
and freedom in both hemispheres.
" I have the honour to sign myself to be, with the
most distinguished consideration, Sir, your humble and
obsequious servant,

" This last proviso is made known more especially in
a dispatch of Prince Schwarzmburg, dated 'March 19.
1850, which Count Sturiner, then Internuncic, commu-
nicated to his Excellency Ali Pasha. What, indeed,
does the note of the Porte itselV, dated the 23d of
Gemasil Evvel (the 6th of April, 1850, say, which
serves as appendix to the above mentioned Acts? Why,
that the Porte, in order to strengthen the cause of order
in Hungary. expresses its readiness to come to a friendly
understanding with the Imperial Court before it sets the
captives in question free, and that the Imperial Govern-
ment should therefore express its views in the matter,
and communicate its determination.

"JHasu' Lieutenant-Colonel.
" To Mr. Andrews, Esquire, Mayor to the
City of Southampton."
The statements made in the above relative to the
mode of Kossuth do not accord with the intelligence
which appears in the London papers this morning, to
the effect that the Mississippi had touched at Mar-
seilles on the 26th ult. merely for coals and provisions,
and that she left the same day, none of the refugees
having landed.
It is anticipated that, supposing Kossuth to be
waiting at Marseilles for the reply of the French
Government to his request for a free transit through
France, his disembarcation was effected privately,
and for political reasons. It may also be expected
that the desired facilities will be courteously refused
by the French Cabinet, as the arrival of Kossuth in
Paris would perhaps be seized upon by the Liberal
and Democratic party as a pretext for getting up a
demonstration.
Up to the present time Mr. J. R. Croskhy, the
United Stated Consul at this port, has not received
any official intelligence leading him to look for the
arrival of the Mississippi, but it is understood that
Kossuth is des&ous of visiting England for a few days
previous to proceeding to America.
The people of Southampton intend to give the ex-
Governor of Hungary and his co-sufferers in the
Magyar cause a warm and hearty reception. The
Mayor (Mr. Andrews) is exerting himself to get up
a demonstration to greet Kossuth on his arrival in a
most enthusiastic manner. The people seem disposed
to second the efforts of the Mayor, but, as public
banquets and receptions on anything like a grand
scale are very expensive, we are not aware who will
provide the means; and it is hinted to us that a great
indisposition at present exists among the inhabitants
to subscribe for such a purpose. The liberality of
the Mayor is, however, almost unbounded, and it is
very likely that Kossuth will be the guest of his
worship for a few days, and will be entertained with
princely hospitality. The subjoined address to Kossuth
is being extensively signed throughout the town, and
will be presented to him on his arrival. The Hun-
garian Committee in London is also deputed to visit
Southampton to welcome the Hungarian leader; and
no doubt his landing on the shores of this country will
be attended with considerable eclat. It is understood
that Count Batthyany does not accompany Kossuth,
but has proceeded to Paris to take up his residence
there.
" ADDRESS TO LOUIS KOSSUTH, LATE GOVERNOR OF

" It is clear, then, that according to the declarations
of the Sultan and of his Ministers, the meaning of these
words cannot be understood by the Imperial Cabinet, or
any impartial parties, in any other way than that the
confinement (interniruny) should cease only on the joint
determination of the two Powtra. The undersigned has
on several occasions had the honour to hear the Turkish
Ministers on this subject declare that in their soul they
had not doubts on this point; and his Highness It, dschid
Pacha assured him at the commencement of last summer
that the Porte did not intend to set the prisoners of Ku-
tahia free without the consent et the Imperial Cabinet.
" And now what happens? The Austrian Cabinet de-
clares that order in Hungary has not yet reached that
state when it becomes possible to let Kossuth loose with-
out danger to the peace of the kingdom. The Imperial
Court considora it.olf alone conopetrUG to judge of the
internal state of its provinces; but it assures that, as soon
as the moment arrives, it will hasten to inform the Porte,
and it will then make no opposition to the cessation of
the imprisonment of the Hungarians.
"In the meantime the Sublime Porte, under all man-
ner of pretexts, and taking up its position on an inter-
pretation of the agreement which has not been assented
to by the Imperial Cabinet, resolves no longer to take
account of engagements which it entered into in the
most solemn manner, nor held the righteous and well-
grounded objections made to its proposed course. It
persists in its intention to set at liberty Kossuth and los
dangerous companions at the very moment when his
Imperial Majesty has sought to give to his sovereign
neighbour new proofs of his wish to maintain a good
understanding with him, in the nomination of Count
Rech berg to the post of Charge d'Affaires in Constan-
tinople.
"On all these grounds, and in eonsideration that the
Sublime Porte has proceeded so far as to commence the
execution of its design of liberating Kossuth and his
companions at Kutahia, the undersigned feels compelled
to protest against the liberation of Kossuth and the
other Menus of the afore-mentioned city. The under-
signed repeats his declaration which he took occasion to
make on the 17th of February of this year, namely, that
the departure of any of the detained persons from Ku-
, tah a without the previously obtained acquiescence of the
Imperial Austrian Government will be regarded as a
breach of the agreement concluded between Austria and
Turkey upon the subject of their detention, and as an
event which must draw after it the destruction of that
good understanding which has hitherto existed between
the two Governments.
" It is impossible that the Sublime Porte can shut its
eyes to the fact that by such a misapprehension of its
(levies (as well as of the dictates of a wise policy), such
flagrant repudiation of its own assurances, such com-
plete obliviousness of all the proofs of real friendship
evinced by the Imperial Government, which fill the
annals of its history, the most painful necessities will be
imposed upon this Court, arising out of its doubts of the
sincerity of the intentions of the Sublime Porte, while
finally such a proceeding as that now complained of will
completely justify. Austria, in presence of impending
questions, to consider nothing but her own interest in
her relations with the Turkish empire.
" The undersigned has the honour, &c.,

" EDWARD KLEZL.

Bujukdere, July 29, 1851."
The following is the reply of the Turkish Minister
Or Foreign Affairs :

"His Majesty the Sultan has taken cognizance of the
various verbal communications, and of the official note
of July 29 of the
present year, in which your Excel-
lency the Char d'Affaires has notified to me that the
resolve of the Sublime Porte to set at liberty the Mugyar
fugitives now at liutahia at the beginning of September
has not the acquiescence of his Imperial Majesty. The
friendship which has existed for centuries between the
Sablime Porte and the Austrian Gain, to maintain and
confirm which is, even upon the ground of territorial
proximity, so much the interest of both States—this
friendship, upon which the Sublime Porte has always
set the highest value, it has always sought to preserve
by averting every occurrence that could cause its inter-
ruption. lum not able to express with sufficient force
how greatly the Government of the Sultan regrets the
difference of opinion which has lately divided the two
Cabinets on the subject discussed in your last note.
The Sublime Porte gladly entertains the hope
that the Cabinet of Vienna will finally acknow-
ledge the frankness and honesty which have uni-
formly characterised its proceedings in this matter,
and Will put away all those prejudicial suspicions which,
from the terms of the communication of July 29, it would
seem the Imperial Cabinet was then inclined to enter-
tain. For, in fact, it is not until all engagements taken
by the Sultan's Cabinet have been punctually fulfilled,
and after taking most anxious measures for carrying out
the safe guardianship of the fugitives, that the Sublime
Porte has determined to remove them from its terri-
tories, considering their detention no longer necessary.
We find it hard to believe that any one can with fairness
characterise this resolution as a breach of the engage -
merits entered into with respect to the refugees. Your
Excellency has taken occasion, in the note of July the
29th, to allude to ancient treaties, and also to the written
assurance given by the Sultan to his Majesty the Em
peror on this subject. But it is superfluous at this time
of day to refer back to those old treaties, since the In st
explicit declarations have been long ago made to the
Imperial Court as to the limits within which
those engagements were and were not to find their
application. As to the letter of the Sultan to the
Emperor, it contains no more than the assurance that
the refugees should go so guarded that it should not be in
their power to disturb the tranquillity of his Majesty's
dominions. The note addressed by the Turkish Cabinet
to the Austrian Internuncio, April 6, 1850, to which
your Excellency finally appeals, and which contains in
the most explicit terms the promises of the Sublime
Porte, states that, after the restorwion of order In
Hungary, the Porte, before setting the Magyar refugees
at liberty, will inform the Austrian Government of its
intention, and endeavour to procure its sanction fur the
act.' Now, tranquillity has long been re-established in
Hungary; and, it there are some few still occupied with
projects of disorder, yet are they not, by the express ad.
mission of the Internuncio, in a situation to excite sn
insurrection. Besides one might wait in vain for the
lime when no persons in Hungary could ;reasonably be

nobleness of your own soul, the most earnest and cor-
dial wishes of all the friends of freedom mu be realized
by the extended prolongation of your life among them,
in the full enjoyment of health, peace, and every other
source of human happiness."
The following is the text of the diplomatic corre-
spondence, between the Austrian Internuncio at Con-
stantinople and the Turkish Ministry on the subject
of Kossuth's liberation :

" The undersigned representative of the Emperor of
Austria at the Porte has aluady communicaSed to you
the commissions transmitted through him from the Im-
perial Cabinet to the Grand Vizier and Minister of Fo-
reign Affairs, relative to the continuation of the deten-
tion of Kossuth and his most dangerous companions in
Kutahia. The Minister may have seen from the contents
of the communications exchanged on this subject what
groat importance the Imperial Court attaches to this
matter. and that the Imperial Cabinet considers itself en-
titled to suppose that the detention can only cease after
the joint concurrence of both Powers shall have been ob-
tained. B )th his Excellency Redschid Pasha and his Ex-
cellency Ali Pasha have assured the undersigned that the
contents of his communication would meet with due at-
tention from the Ministerial Council, and that the result
would be made known to him as soon as it had received the
sanction of the Sultan. How great, therefore, must have
been his surprise when he learnt from certain sources
that the Minister had given the chief of a certain em-
bassy the assurance that Kossuth and his dangerous
companions would be set free in the middle of Sep-
tember, and that, in consequence of this assurance, the
abovementioned diplomatists had made certain arrange-
ments in view of the journey the Hungarian prisoners
were to make. These details have not been genital by
his Excellency Ali Pasha, and the undersigned finds
himself under the necessity of renewing more vigorously
his exertions in order to turn the Porte from a deter-
mination, which it has doubtless taken without mature
deliberation, and which it will, the undersigned hopes,
abandon when it considers all the consequences that may
ensue from the liberation contemplated. Before pro-
ceeding further, however, it will be necessary to call the
attention of the Turkish Ministers to certain facts
which should be noticed in order to a clear view of the
matter in hand. The undersigned does not intend to
detail the circumstances which led and caused the flight
of the chief of the Hungarian rebllion, although such
details would give him an opportunity of offering nume-
rous points in reference to the demands of the Austrian
Government, which the Porte ought instantly to
grant. At the same time, he considers it superfluous to
refer to the meaning and words of the treaties i❑ force
between the two powers, in virtue of which rebels and
criminals who are Austrian subjects, and fly to Turkey,
should not be harboured. Li accordance with the spe,
cial wish of the Sultan, the Imperial Court abandoned it
right to demand the extradition of the fugitives
although the meaning of treaties clearly gave him the
necessary power in the case. But it is for this that the
Austrian Cabinet must, with so much the more instance,
dwell on the following clauses of the treaty of Belgrade,
which (clause 18) says:—' When such rebels fly into the
Turkish States with the intention V concealing them-
selves there, the Porte is to seek them out and cause
them to be punished; and also when the said rebels and
criminals shall show themselves repentant, and promise
better behaviour, the Porte is not to believe them, but to
detain them and confine them in a place distant from the
frontier.'

" Nothing can be clearer or more distinct than this
clause. Yet not only did the Imperial Court abandon
its rights, confirmed in these declarations of the treaty,
but showed itself inclined to come to an arranger,lent
with the Divan relative to the confinement (internirung)
of the fugitives. What did the Porte to further so
friendly a disposition? She pertinaciously fixed a limit
of a twelvemonth, and forced the Imperial Court to con-
sider as of non-effect the negotiations relative to a
limitation of the period of imprisonment, and to take its
stand upon the terms of existing treaties, namely, those
which had previously been concluded by the two States
under the hand of his Majesty the Sultan and his Ma-
jesty the Emperor, on the 26th Schewal, 1265 (Sept. 17,
1849), and those which were made between the Minist, r
of Foreign Affairs and the Turkish Envoys accredited
for that purpose in Vienna, with the proviso, that in
case of need the clauses of these treaties would be en-
forced in all rigour.
