ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
HOME CIRCUIT.—Lewes, August 5.
The commission for the county of Sussex was opened
on Monday afternoon by Chief Justice Jervis, and his
Lordship afterwards charged the grand jury and pro-
ceeded to try some of the prisonars. The gaol calendar
is rather heavier than usual, there being 45 prisoners for
trial. On the civil side only two causes were entered,
one a sp,cial jury cause, and the other an undefended
common jury.
CROWN SlDE.—(Bsfore Chief Justice JEavrs.)

William. Henry Challis, 13, errand boy, pleaded Guilty
to an indictment ch.trging him with having unlawfully
thrown a certain substance into one of the carriages tra-
velling upon the Brighton Railway, and thereby endan-
gering the safety of the passengers.
Sentence was deferred.
Elizabeth Wickens, 20, was indicted for wilful and
corrupt perjury.
Mr. Creasy prosecuted, and Mr. Woollett was counsel
for the defence.

The perjury imputed to the defendant was, that at the
Lent assizes for dais county, in 1850, she had falely
charged three men named Waters, Lewis, and Wilkin-
son with having committed a robbery, with violence,
upon her. Upon this occasion she swore that on the
28th of September, 1849, while she was on her way from
Salehur4t to Cranbrook, she was attacked by the three
men, who knocked her down and robbed her of a purse
containing a sovereign and other money, and upon this
evidence they were all convicted and sentenced to be
transported for fourteen years. The prisoners were sub-
sequently removed to the Penitentiary, in pursuance of
their sentence, and, in consequence of representations
that were made to them by the authorities, inquiries
were made, the result of which was that the present
charge was preferred against the defendant.
The three prisoners who had been convicted were
examined to prove that they did not rob the defendant,
as she had represented, and there was some little confir-
mation of their story in the evidence of the daughter of
a farmer, named Cheeseman, who resided near the place
where the robbery was alleged to have been committed,
and who stated that she heard the prosecutor call out
that she hr.d lost her money before the three men came
up to her, and also that none of the men ran away in the
wood close by after the occurrence. It appeared, how-
ever, that the defendant was very drunk at the time, and
that she went to a public. house close by immediately
afterwards, and told the same story she did at the trial,
and that she had all along persisted in the truth of her
statement.

The CHIEF JUSTICE, at the close of the case for the
prosecution, expressed an opinion that the evidence was
hardly sufficient to justify the jury in c9ming to the
conclusion that the defendant had wilfully and corruptly
sworn what she knew to be false. The defendant was
in liquor at the time, and it was probable that she might
have made a mistake as to the parties who had robbed her.
Mr. CREASY, upon this intim4tion from the Court,
withdrew from the prosecution, and
The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty.

MIDLAND CIRCUIT.— Warwick, Aug. 4.
CIVIL SlDE.—(Betoro Mr. Baron PARK E and a
Common Jury.)
RICHARDS v. RUTHERFORD.

This was an action of trim con., to which the de-
fendant pleaded " Not guilty, and leave and licence."
Mr. Sergeant Miller and Mr. A. It. Adams were
counsel for the plaintiff; Mr. Macaulay, Q.C., and Mr.
Wilmore, Q.C., for the defendant.

The plaintiff was formerly engaged at Nottingham as
an agent for the sale of lace, and in consequence of the
falling-off of that business he had afterwards kept a
commercial bearding-house, which was a good deal fre-
quented by the defendant, who was an owner of stone
quarriers at Wingerworth, in Derbyshire. In the month
of March last the plaintiff sailed for America, and
was absent from the country rather more than three
months. Immediately after his departure the plain-
tifi'a wife and the defendant went to Birmingham,
where they opened a provision shop. The plain-
tiff's four children and the wife's sister were brought
to that house; and just before Easter the eldest
daughter died. The business was managed by the
plaintiff's wife, but the defendant was a frequent visitor
at the house, and on all those occasions they lived to-
gether without any concealment as man and wife. On
Easter Mondey, the day after the daughter's funeral,
they went away together to a coffee-house in Bull-street,
and there remained for two or three days; after which
they made an excursion to London to inspect the won-
ders of the Great Exhibition. Soon after they had re-
turned to :he provision-shop, a letter was received from
the plaintiff, bearing the Now York post-mark, the effect
of which was that in a few days the wife andehe defen-
dant eloped, the wife's sister being left in charge of the
shop and the children. The wife's sister was the prin-
cipal witness for the plaintiff; but, on cross-examina-
tion, she admitted that she bad never remonstrated
either with her sister or the defendant upon the gross
depravity of their conduct. Upon her admis-
sions, also, both the plaintiff and his wife ap-
peared to have led very immoral lives; and, upon one
occasion, at least, to have indulged in mutual imputa-
tions of a very offensive kind. Several witnesses were
called for the defendant, who, by reference to particular
instances, strongly confirmed this view of the plaintifi's
character, and for the purpose of supporting the plea of
leave end licence, it wee shown that the plaintiff, shortly
before his departure, had permitted the defendant to
take his wife to Birmingham for the purpose of finding
there a shop suitable to her circumstances, and that the
expenses of this journey had been defrayed by the de•
feudant; but the plaintiff himself had supplied money
for the purpose of taking the shop, and had asked the de-
fendant to stand his friend in the matter. After the
action had been commenced the defendant's attorney
offered "to buy peace" by giving the plaintiff 251. and
the stock remaining in the shop, but this offer was
rejected.

Mr. Sergeant MILLER having replied,
The Learned JUDGE Summed up, and the jury re-
turned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 15/.

WESTERN CIRCUIT.—Bodmin, Aug. 4.
The commission was opened here on Saturday by
Lord Campbell and Mr. Justice Coleridge. Yesterday
ther Lot dsiiips attended Divine service, and this morn-
ing the business of the assize commenced. In the civil
court, in which Mr. Justice Coleridge sat, there was,
for the present circuit, a very heavy cause list, there
being no less than eight causes entered; three, however,
were undefended, and a third was settled. One case
had excited coneidErable interest, and was the following;

voters, and I in consequence had communications with
other voters. I advanced money to five voters altoge-
ther—one was 25/., and tho others were 201. I com-
municated to Hoehn' that he might have the loan,
and I gave him 20/. It was understood he was
to give his promissory note for it. I told
him if he would give his promissory note I
would ask Sir Samuel to lend him the money. I
kept the note until it was sent fur by Smith and 11,berts.
In consequence of the splitting of votes the contest be•
came between Lacey and Spry. He was annoyed at los-
ing the election. I think the note was sent to Smith and
Roberts in 1848. I had nothing to do with applying for
the interest though the note remained in my desk. I
do not know how you manage your notes (at Liskeard).
I kept all the notes, and handed them over in 1848. I
cannot tell whether all the five voted for Spry alone.
Cross-examined—I canvassed Hochio in 1847. There
was no promise made to him of any money for giving
his vote, nor any conversation of the kind. There was
nothing said about any election at the time of the loan.
I had no authority to lead but upon what I thought good
security, and I considered the note good security. One
of the other notes was paid.
Re•examined—l should be very sorry to be instru-
mental in speaking to any voter on the subject of his
vote as regards any corrupt motive. I have been an
agent at all the elections since 1832. I never held out
any promise to any voter, or heard of any such thing,
either at Bothnia or Liskeard. No action was brought
against either of these five till after the petition was
dismissed, in 1848. I delivered up all the notes at the
same time.

Mr. Smith, for the defendant, urged that this was,
in fact, an undefended cause, and that there was not
the least pretence for the plea set up.
Mr. TG:i4ICO COLERIDGE, in summing up, said that un-
less the defendant could establish one of his pleas, the
verdict must pass for the p!aintiff, and of course that
which the defendant undertook to prove he had the bur-
den of proof cast upon him, and he was bound to make
it out. The nature of the defence was this, he said—
you call upon me for the payment of a promissory note,
as if you had lent me money, whereas the substance of
the transaction was this—you gave me 204, either in
consideration of the vote I bad given for you, or in con-
sideration of a vote you expected I should give, and
then, having done that in order to disguise and conceal
it from the world, it was treated nominally as a loan,
and I gave you the promissory note as security, as if
there had been a loan; but, in truth, there never was
any loan at all, and it was a gift. The question, there-
fore, for the jury was, whether the defendant had made
it out; they were not to take it upon guess, but to de-
termine whether it had been proved.
The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff.
CROWN COURT.
Lord Campbell presided in this court. The calendar
contained the names of 20 prisoners. The charges are
some of them of a very serious nature.
William Bartle was indicted for sending letters to
Joseph Thomas, of Mullion, in this county, threatening
to burn and destroy the property of him, the said
Joseph Thomas.
This prisoner was indicted and tried at the last as-
sizes for a similar offence, when it was fully reported;
ho was then acquitted upon that charge. There were se-
veral similar indictments against him; but in conse-
quence of the prisoner's sister having written letters to
the Chief Baron and the jury, his Lordship directed that
the trial should be postponed to the present assizes; and
this morning the prisoner was put upon his trial, when
the same circumstances were adduced against him. He
was convicted and sentenced to 15 years' transportation.

The COURT sentenced her to three months' hard labour
at Brixton.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
George Thomas was brought before Sir Peter Laurie
for final examination, upon the charge of having been
concerned with others in stealing a cash.hox containing
upwards of 601. the property of Anton Scherzinger, pro-
prietor of the Horse and Trumpeter public-house, in
Crutched-friars.
Upon a former examination, evidence was given to
show that the prisoner and three other fellows hal been
in the house on the day of the robbery, that means had
been taken to get the landlord out of the way for a few
minutes, and that during his absence the cheffonier in
the bar parlour, in whic the cash-box had been kept,
was broken open, and plundered of that valuable deposi-
tory. It was also on that occasion proved that the pri-
soner and one of the men who had been seen with him
on thelday of the robbery, had visited the house as cus-
tomers several successive days previously, and invari-
ably occupied a box immediately opposite to the bare
parlour, from which they could have observed the chef-
fonier and the cash-box.
Mrs. Scherzinger, the wife of the landlord, corrobo-
rated several points of the previous evidence, and said
the prisoner had upon a former occasion come in with
his usual companion, and, when she was alone in the bar-
parlour, endeavoured to persuade her to get him a little
cheese to take the taste of the ale out of his mouth, as
his employers might smell it upon him and consider it to
be a bad example to the junior clerks of the establish.
meta. As, however, she had neither husband nor do-
mestic near her, she would not stir from the spot, and
the thieves lost that opportunity—a loss which was soon
supplied by a little more exercise of their ingenuity.
Sir PETER LAURIE then read the words used accord-
ing to Act of Parliament by magistrates to prisoners
previously to committal, and asked the prisoner whether
he wished, under the circumstances, to make any ob-
servations?
Tue prisoner—l do. I deny that I know anything
at all of the transaction, and I could have gone away at
the time it appeared the robbery took place. The fact
is I went into the house and called for a glass of ale. I
had been there four or five times previously, and there
was generally a young man with me. On the day in
question I had come from the docks, and there was no
person with me when I entered the house. A tall man
was standing at the bar when I went in. He seemed
to me to be a foreigner, and worn mustachios, and
he asked me how I did, although I did not know him.
The landlord—There was no foreigner amongst the
set.

The prisoner—I thought he belonged to the house,
and he asked me to go into the common parlour and have
a glass of ale with him. He spoke quite familiarly to me,
and I went in and drank with him. He soon after-
wards left the room, but I never stirred from the
place till the landlord came in, and there was a noise
about the robbery, but of which I know nothing in
the world.
Sir PETER LAURIE—You are committed upon the
charge brought against you. Aro there other persons
in attendance against the prisoner? Storey, the officer,
answered in the affirmative, and called Mrs. Louisa
Barr, of the Two Brewers public-house, in New Park-
street, Southwark-bridge-road, who said—The pri-
soner robbed my house on the 3d of June. He had
been there two or three times before the robbery was
committed, and there was always another person with
him. On the Friday before Tuesday, the 3d of June, he
and the other person had been at my house. They went
into the bar-parlour, having expressed a wish for a pri-
vate room. They went into the bar-parlour also on
the 3d of June, and they remained there some time. One
of them had a glass of ale and the other had a glass of
half-and-half, and they also had some cold brandy and
water. Between four and five o'clock they left the house
together. The cash box was kept in a cupboard in the
bar-parlour, and it contained 73/. in gold, two 51. notes,
a promissory note for Si. 55., and a mining share of 5/.
The cupboard was locked. I had changed a sovereign
before they came into the house, and I then locked the
door of the cupboard and put the key in my pocket.
There had been nobody in the room between the
time at which I locked the cupboard and the time daring
which the prisoner and his companion were in the room,
but myself and my husband.
Sir PETER LAURIE.—Had the lock been forced?
Witness—No; no violence at all seemed to have been
used. They must have opened the door, I should think,
with a key. I recollect that the prisoner closed the door
of the room every time after I quitted it.
The prisoner was also identified by a person who, in
the house of the last witness, served him with ale and
half-and-half there.
Sir PETER LAURIE—Is the prisoner known as a
plunderer of public-houses? Trew and Huggett, and
other experienced officers of the City police, said the
man was one of a notorious gang of thieves, who had
acquired wonderful skill in getting hold of publicans'
cash-boxes just before the visits of tree brewers and dis-
tillers. To their knowledge upwards of 6001. had been
stolen in public-houses within the last six weeks in the
way described by the evidence; but it was extremely
difficult to prevail upon the sufferers to come forward,
as they were apprehensive of being laughed at for not
benefitting by the constant examples before ther eyes.
Sir PETER LAURIE said it was quite evident that the
robberies of the present day were distinguished from
the ordinary practices atnonst thieves of former times
by their intellectual character. The head worked with
greater vigour than the hand.
The prisoner—l do not know what the witnesses in
the last case aro alluding to. I know nothing of cash.
boxes.
William Wesson, in the service of a cooper, said—On
the 24th of May the prisoner came to me at our count-
ing-house when my employer was out, under pretence of
purchasing a quantity of hoops. He persuaded me to
accompany him from the counting-house to the ware-
house, and there ho detained me for some time while he
appeared to be looking over his pocket-book for the de-
scription of hoops which be was anxious to purchase.
Upon my return to the counting-house I found that the
desks and other places of imagined security had been
broken open, that my watch and whatever cash had been
deposited in the cash-box were absent, and that the
thieves had locked the ,iron safe, and taken off the key
with them.
Sir PETER LAURIE said ho felt real gratification in the
performance of duties which brought before him accom-
plished thieves, who laid themselves out so completely
for wholesale depredation. At the suggestion of the
officers he remanded the prisoner upon the two last
charges, but directed that the warrant of committal on
the first should be forthwith completed.
GUILDHALL.
Mrs. Foley, alias Sullivan, was charged with ringing
the changes upon Mr. Cotton, hatter, of Redcross-
street.
Mr. Cotton stated that prisoner came into his shop
and asked the price of a child's hat. Ho told her the
expense would be 4s. 6d., and she said she would deposit
6d., and call for the hat in the evening. She gave a
half-crown, and Mr. Cotton gave her 2s. in change.
She then said, "Now, I shall have to bring 25." Mr.
Cotton said, " Oh, no, it will be 4s. more," upon which
she said, "I'll not have it then ; give mo my money
back." Mr. Cotton returned her the half-crown, and
she gave him back as he thought the two shillings ho
had previously given her. After she had gone, Mr.
Cotton's foreman said, " That woman has been here be-
fore playing off the same game—l'll run after her and i
fetch her back." Mr. Cotton examined the money,
and found one of the shillings bad, and which she had
changed while he was looking for the half-crown in
the till. Mr. Cotton said it was only throe weeks
since the last visit he had had from the prisoner. Ho
had taken a great quantity of counterfeit money, but
knowing that the law required a double uttering within
a month to be proved to obtain a conviction, ho kept
all the bad money he was unfortunate to take for a
month.
This being a very clear case, the prisoner (who de-
nied everything) was remanded till Saturday, for Mr.
Powell, the solicitor for the Mint, to attend and prosecute.
MARY LEBO] V E.
MURDEROUS OUTRAGES ON THE POLlCE.—Yesterday
Dennis Hayes, a labourer, was brought before the sitting
magistrate, Mr. Broughton, charged with assaults of a
most brutal and sanguinary nature upon police-consta-
bles, who, in consequence of the injuries inflicted upon
them, have been pronounced to be incapable for the pre-
sent of doing duty.
Harwood, 161 D, deposed that on the previous after-
noon, as he was going along Praed-street, Paddington, ho
received information from a gentleman that a desperate
conflict was going on in Conduit-street, and that in all
probability murder would be committed. He instantly
repaired to the spot, where he found the prisoner and
another man fighting, and also biting each other in a
most savage manner. He at length succeeded in sepa-
rating them, and they went away, but shortly afterwards
returned and renewed the battle, surrounded by at least
50 other persons, all of whom were apparently brick-
layers' or plasterers' labourers. He (witness) stepped
forward and desired them to desist, when prisoner,
with an oath, declared that he would take his life;
ho (prisoner) then knocked him down by a tremendous
blow, and also kicked him on various parts of his person;
in addition to which he and others threw him from the
top to the bottom of an area not loss than sixteen feet
deep; he fell upon his side, and was considerably in-
jured, and had he fallen upon his head from so, great a
height he might have been killed.
Trevethen, 2441), said that having heard that a con-
stable was being murdered by some labourers, he rushed
forth to give assistance, and saw the prisoner and two or
three more men kicking the first witness as he lay on
the ground.
Mr. BROUGHTON—Were you assaulted? Witness—T_
was, sir; the prisoner and one of his companions
knocked me down, and after they had kicked my brother
officer into the area, they threw me into it also; the pri-
soner then jumped down and began heating and kicking
both of us, and many
of his fellow-labourers did so like-
wise; for a time I was completely stunned. I and my
brother officer at last succeeded in properly securing the
prisoner, and conveying him to the station.
Mr. BROUGHTON.—On the road thither was ho quietly

Worship, all the way.
Both the officers mill that they were not We to go

upon duty, and that the surgeon by whona they had
been examined would bear testimony to that effect.
Mr. BROUGHTON inquired if the surgeon was in at-
tendance? anti be was replied to in the negative.
Inspector Porter said that it was not usual for sur-
geons to come forward, and in fact they, generally
speaking, declined to do so unless summoned to attend.
Mr. 13noucriTox—But, there is not even a certificate
sent with regard to the nature cf the hurts which the
officers have received. The history of the affair, I sup-
pose, is this, that if a surgeon st.nds a certificate he will
receive no remuneration; but if he is summoned to appear
before a magistrate to give evidence he knows that he
will be paid for his trouble.

The iNl,igistrate looked upon the outrage as being one
of a most brutal nature, and Which might have resulted
in the loss of life. He remanded the prisoner till
Monday next, in order to afford time for the police to
capture other parties concerned in the brutal assaults.

the sergeant of the police-van as having been in his Care
on a previous occasion, was finally examined, charged
with stealing a gold watch from Eugene Eunan, a
French cook, at Cremorne Gardens.
After the first remand of the prisoner, the prosecutor
was on his way to this court to attend the re-examina-
tion, when he was waylaid by two men, one of whom re-
presented himself as the accused's brother, and taken to
some house on the Surrey side of the river, where ho was
detained while the Court was sitting, and had a gold
watch and lOs., as an equivalent to the value of the one
he had lost, given him, with a promise that if he aban-
doned the prosecution his own should be restored. The
police, however, conjecturing from the absence of the
prosecutor at the remand, and the circumstance of his
being a foreigner, that some trick had been resorted to
to defeat the ends of justice, obtained a further remand,

rested themselves on the accused's behalf, but nothing
was seen of them.

It appeared, from the evidence adduced, that at twelve
o'clock on the night of the 14th ult. the prosecutor was
at the gate getting a ticket for the steam-boat, when he
felt a pressure about his breast, and on looking down
observed that his watch had been detatched from his
guard. The prisoner was immediately in front of him,
with a handkerchief in his hand, which it is conjec-
tured he bad used to screen himself from observation
while separating the guard from the watch; and the
prosecutor, who had felt his hand near his pocket, had
no doubt that he had the watch in the handkerchief at
the moment he missed it. He immediately said, " You
have got my watch," when the prisoner, in company
with another, bolted off at full speed. Mr. Smith, a
tradesman at Exeter, followed, hearing the Frenchman
cry out that he had been robbed, and prisoner's com-
panion tried to trip him up, but did not succeed, and
Mr. Smith captured the accused, who immediately began
talking largely about bringing an action, and affected to
be immensely indignant at the accusation. The watch
was not found, but it was clearly proved that, while
running, th© prisoner passed the handkerchief close to
the hand of his companion in the flight, who appeared
to receive something from it, and then darted off in
a contrary direction. The prisoner gave his address at
Lincoln, but no such person, upon inquiry, was known
there.

The accused, who denied the charge, was committed
For trial.

SOUTHWARK.

DR. SMYTH'S VicTims.LEm;;;Smith and Catherine
S heats, two young girls between 14 and 15 years of age,
who were some short time ago two of the victims of
Smyth, the surgeon, of Vauxhall, who was transported
for committing a rapelon a child, were brought before
Mr. Seeker, charged with stealing four sovereigns and
265. in silver from the person of William Howe, a car-
riage-broker, residing in Nowington•causeway.
It appears that on Friday night the prosecutor met
the children in the Waterloo-road, and after treating
them to some gin he accompanied them to a house of the
worst description, situate No. 16, Herbert's-buildings.
While in the house Smith knocked him backwards,
robbed him of his money, and before he could recover
himself they both decamped frem the house. Informa-
tion was afterwards given to the police, and the prisoners
were apprehended on Monday, dressed out in new finery.
Police-constable 36 L said ho apprehended the pri-
soners on Monday evening, dressed out in new clothing
from head to foot. Smith said, "You have got me,
but not the tin;" and Skeats said, " A very good job
too; and I wish I had another haul."

Mr. SECKER—Have you any knowledge of the child-
ren? Constable—Yes, sir. I have known them for
nearly twelve months, roaming about the Waterloo-road
as prostitutes. There are one or two houses in Herbert's-
buildings, the occupiers of which entrap young children
and send them on the streets unknown to their parents.
Mr. SECKER—DO you know the house which the pri-
soners frequent? Constable—Yes, sir. It belongs to
an old woman, named Rogers, who is now undergoing a
month's imprisonment for hating in her possession a
quantity of printed cotton which had been recently
stolen. She supplied the girls with dresses out of their
immoral earnings. The Waterloo•road is literally
swarmed with young girls, who use those houses and
prowl about at all hours in the night, chictly for the sake
of plundering drunken men.
Mr. SECKER—Was the prosecutor drunk? Prosecutor
—I was very much intoxicated or I should not have
placed myself in such a degrading situation.
The constable informed the magistrate that there
were two children now in court who were companions
of the prisoners, and lived by prostitution.
Mr. SECKER directed them to be brought forward.
Eliza Smith, who stated her age to be 14, was ques-
tioned by Mr. Seeker, but she was so far initiated in
vice that it was pitiable to witness the offensive manner
in which she answered the worthy magistrate whose
object was to save her from further contamination.
Martha Sullivan, another child, said she lived with
her father, a looking•glass-frame maker, in Lant-street,
Borough. She denied having prostituted herself is any
way.

Police-sergeant, 22 L, said he saw the prisoners in the
Waterloo•road every night with the children just exa-
mined by his Worship. In fact, there were hundreds
like them, brought up by the brothel-keepers in the
neighbourhood; some of the places were awful dens, and
dangerous for any ono to enter.
Mr. SECIER said ho should commit the prisoners for
trial at the ensuing sessions, and should they be con-
victed, it might be the means of saving them from utter
destruction. He was extremely sorry to hear that such
an amount of juvenile prostitution was abounding in the
midst of the metropolis, and he should certainly order
that strict inquiries be made about the houses men-
tioned by the constable, so that an immediate stop may
be put to the nefarious practice of entrapping young
children and bringing them up to prostitution.
The prisoners, who seemed quite unconcerned during
the investigation, stated that they had no knowledge of
the prosecutor's money, or ever seeing him before.
They were committed for trial.

THE LATE FATAL AFFRAY IN SHOE-LANE.
Last evening a public meeting was held at the Li-
terary and Scientific Institution, Leicester-place, Little
Saffron-hill, "to consider what steps were necessary
legally to effect Mr. Long's release from prison," that
individual being one of the witnesses in a recent police
case, which was characterised in the bills convening the
meeting, as a " brutal polico outrage in the City ." Lord
Dudley Coutts Stuart, M.P., was announced to take the
chair, but his Lordship having sent an excuse for his
non-attendance,. Mir. W. Browno was called upon to pre-
side, and
.in opening the proceedings, he observed that
at a meeting recently held on Clerkenwell-green, it was
agreed that a memorial should be sent to Sir George
Grey, requesting him to offer a reward for the apprehen-
sion of the policeman who it was stated was guilty of
the "murder" of William Hogan (in a disturbance
which took place a short time ago in Shoe-lane). The
reply of the Home Secretary was to the effect that he
(Sir George Grey) had received the memorial in refe-
rence to the death of William Hogan, and that he had
forwarded it to the Lord Mayor, together with the letter
accompanying it. This communication, it was con-
tended, left the memorialists in the same position which
they held before they addressed the Home Secretary;
and the chairman now urged that it was the duty of all
true friends of freedom to make every effort to promote
the ends of justice in this important matter. Several
persons afterwards addressed the meeting in language
strongly condemnatory of the conduct of the police, and
suggesting the necessity of farther agitating the ques-
tion in order to effect the release of Mr. Long, who, it
was said, had been imprisoned for the purpose of pre-
venting him from giving his evidence against the police-
man alleged to have caused the death of William Hogan.
A resolution was passed condemning the course adopted
by the police authorities in not causing an investigation
to be made in order to identify the policeman. Other
resolutions of a similar tendency were also carried, and
it was agreed that the cause of the deceased Hoganr was
the cause of every lover of justice and humani!Yii andy
