IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT

motion for a charge upon the revenues of the East
India Company, without the recommendation of the
East India Company, sanctioned by the Commissioners
for the Affairs of India.
Mr. V. SMITH supported the order as necessary for
the protection of the Indian revenues.
C3l. PATTEN said he thought the object of he hon
baronet would be met by altering the order in ac-
cordance with the feelings of the Commissioners, from
the " recommendation of the East India Company, (Ste."
to " without the recommendation of the Crown."
The motion of the hon, and learned baronet was then
withdrawn.
On the suggestion of Col. PATTEN a discussion took
place relative to the powers of the Nawab of Surat to sue
the East India Company under the treaty entered into
between them in the course of which it was contended
that this order would shut the native powers of India
from any redress whatever—even from an application to
Parliament under any treaty they might enter into with
the East India Company.
The house was addressed by Mr. Mangles, Mr. Roe-
buck, Sir J. Hogg, Sir F. Kelly, and Mr. Carciwell.
The order aslamended was agreed to without a divi-

operation of the Bank Charter Act.
THE BUSINESS OF THE SESSION.
Mr. DISRAELI gave notice that on Thursday, or
some other day if more convenient to the Government,
he should review the business of the session, and found
a motion thereon.
Lord PALMERSTON said it would be more conve-
nient for the right hon. member to bring on his state-
ment on Friday.

, day was accordingly fixed for that purpose.
THE GERMAN LEGION.
Mr. MURROUGa rose to put a question to the
Clerk of the Ordnance relative to the officers of the
British army having to furnish their huts at their own
expense, whilst the officers of the German Legion had
their huts furnished them at the public expense, and was
proceeding to refer to the late disturbances, and
the fears of the public that this Legion would become a
portion of the standing army, when
Mr. WALPOLE called the the hon. member to
order.
The Simians, said the hon. member could not enter
into this question.
Mr. MURROUGH then moved the adjournment of
the house. Numbers of men were now suffering from
the dirks of these assassins, and he called upon the Go.
vernment to speak out and state what would be done
with the legion.
The SPEAKER said that if the practice of allowing hon.
members to move the adjournment of the house to bring
on queions of the kind were permitted it would be
impost e to TT ;ed with the hilliness of the house.
Mr. URROUGH again rose to address the house,
and was again called to order by hon. members on both
sides of the house. Ultimately the hon. member put

the question.
Lord PALMERSTON said he should not enter into
the unfortunate occurrence that had happened at Alder-
shot, not being in possession of sufficient details. The
German Legion had up to this time conducted them-
st,lves well, and such an occurrence as that referred to
was not without precedent. As soon as possible ar-
rangements would be made for disbanding the Legion.
His lordship explained that, the Legion being enrolled
for only a temporary purpose, the furniture was lent
them when at Shorncliffe, and on their return from the
Crimea the same privilege was continued to them.

THE BOARD OF WORKS.

TO THE EDITOR OP THE SEN.
23, Henrietta-street, Covent-garden, July 21.
SIR,-A report having appeared in several of the daily
papers to the effect that the offices of the Board of Wnias
for the Strand district, 23, Henrietta-street, Covent-gar-
den, had fallen down en Saturday night, in consequence of
the giving way of a newly-erected party wall built in the
course of the last week, and taking down with it the
remainder of the adjoining premises now in course of
demolition, I beg to state for the information of the pub-
lic that there is no truth in the report so far as concerns
the offices of the Board of Works. The party wall was
built by the owner of the adjoining house, the former
wall having been condemned by the proper authorities.
The new one appears to have been very improperly built,
and fell as reported, taking with it the greater part of the
premises now being pulled dawn. The Board of
Works is in no way answerable for the accident ;
their offices are not injured, and the public affairs
are there attended to as usual.
I am, Sir, yours obediently,
JAMES H. F. LEWIS,
Clerk to the Board.

THE LEE.

'IVG-' CASE.

TIZTAL OF WILLIAM DOVE.

FOURTH DAY,—SATURDAY.
Mr. Baron Bramwell took his Beat or tho bench this
morning at 9 o'clock, when the prisoner was placed at
the bar. He was unaltered in appearance. The court was
again crowded in every part. The following additional
evidence was called on the part of the defence.
John Thompson, examined by Mr. Blis9-4 ant a
schoolmaster living at Aberford, I have known the pri-
, Boner for some tune. I repeatedly saw him when he lived

nt Bramham-moor. His manners were very wild, and his
conversation very incoherent. I have heard him talk
about his visit to America. He said he was engaged
amongst tho Red Indians, and became their chief, that
they met with a bear in the wood, when his party ran

away, and he engaged with the bear, 'which attempted to
suffocate him by breathing into his mouth. Whilst fixed
between the bear's ;paws, the prisoner said he bad the
presence of mind to take a knife out of his waistcoat
pocket, and let the bear's bowels out. He afterwards

mind. I should say that during the week prior to his
wife's death he was of unsound mind.
Cross-examined by Mr. Overend— T believe he has
been insane for 20 years. I think he knew right from
wrong airing, the 50 years, and also during the fatal week:
14.e.e*athioed—A Man may be cleeldedly and unques-
tionably mad, and yet know right from wrong, and yet
be regardless of consequences. A man so insane might
not be able to refrain from the commission of an act,
though he might know he was doing wrong. Circum-
stances might have indo.ced him to refrain. The prisoner
being iti posessiou of poison, t think he would be regard-
less of consequences, and would not be able to refrain

from using it.
By the Foreman of the Jury—My opinion is not an
abstract one, but refers particulaily to the case of the

prisoner,
Mr. John Ritching, of York, examined by Mr. Hall
—t am a surgeon, and superintendent of the York Re-
treat. I have about 100 patients under my care. I
have heard the evidence in this case, and have formed
an opinion that the prisoner was insane during the fatal
week. I have examined the prisoner in the Castle, and

my examination confirms my opinion.
Cross-examined by ➢ir. Overend—l think it is pro-
bable that the prisoner knew right from wrong during
the fatal week. If he did the murder 1 have no doubt
that he knew he vras committing murder, and that if he
were found out he would most likely be punished for it.
Re-examined by Sergeant Wilkins—l consider his con-
duct during the fatal week the natural consequence of
his previous life. I believe he has been insane alibis life.
simply meant by murder that he knew he was trying
