EXAMPLE.—At the commencement of the year 1841 a person aged
thirty took out a Policy for 1,0001., the Annual Payment for which
is 241. lg. Bd.; in 1847 he had paid in Premiums 1601. I Is. Bd. ; but
the profits being 21,4 per cent. per annum on the sum insured (which
is 221. 10s, per annum for each 1,000/.), he had 1571. 10s. added to the
Policy, almost as much as the Premiums paid.
The Premiums, nevertheless, are on the most moderate scale, and
only one-half need be paid for the first five years when the In.
sarance is for Life.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—.Carlisle, Aug. 6.
.NISIPRIUS COURT.—(Befure Mr. JusticeWiLuents.,
HANITLToN V. GIBSON.

This was an action by a former editor of the Cumber-
land Packet, brought against the proprietor for the re-
sidue of a year's salary, he having been dismissed from
his office at the expiration of three months. Tho de-
fendant pleaded, first, that he did not promise to pay
him a year's salary; secondly, that he had been induced
to engage him for a year by fraud. There were other
pleas traversing other allegations in thedeclaration, and,
finally, a plea that the defendant had paid him all that
was due to him.
Mr. Atherton, Q.C., and Mr. Cowling appeared for
tke plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Wilkins and Mr. Temple
for the defendant'.
It appeared from the opening of the Learned Counsel
for .the plaintiff that the plaintiff was now the editor
of the Carmarthen Journal, and that he had for
many • years 'been connected with various news-
papers as editor and reporter. The defendant
was the proprietor of the Cumberland Packet, published
at Whitehaven, and the present action was brought
against him for the residue of a year's salary, which
the plaintiff claimed, he having been dismissed from
the editorship of that journal in April last year, after
having been employed upon it for three months. The
defendant was in want of an editor in January, 1850,
and he applied to a Mr. Nelson, of Adam-street, Adel-
phi, in London, who kept a register of such appoint-
ments, and thatt person not having an editor on his
books, advertised for one in a London newspaper, and
obtained an answer from the defendant. The terms
were arranged to be after the rate of 1001. a-year, and
105.,a-week for every hundred that the plaintiff could
increase the circulation of the newspaper. These terms
appeared to have been accepted by Mr. Nelson, but that
agent wanting 71. 103, commission from each party,
which both refused to pay, the name of the newspaper
was not given up to the plaintiff, nor the plaintiff's
name and address to the defendant, and thus that nego-
tiation was broken off by Mr. Nelson, to the great sur-
prise of the defendant, as appeared from some of the
letters pat in, who thought from Mr. Nelson's can-
did and obliging manner that he was really anxious
to serve him. By a mere accident, however, the plain-
tiff learned, through a gentleman connected with the
press of Manchester, that the defendant wanted an
editor, and wrote to him, and they then mutually learnt
that they had been mutually seeking each other, and
that they were each then most anxious to form that en-
gagement and enter into that contract which was
the subject of the present action. The letters of the
plaintiff and defendant to each other, whioh were of
considerable length, and in which they each spoke in no
flattering terms of Mr. Nelson, were read by the Learned
Counsel. These letters, amidst a vast amount of ver-
biage, contained the agreement above set out, and in one
of them, dated the 16th of January, 1850, the plaintiff
spoke of himself as having edited the Cheltenham Journal,
reported for the Sunderland Beacon, edited the Hull
Packet, reported for the Leeds Intelligences, edited the
Bath Post, acted as a correspondent for the London and
various literary journals, and then went on to describe
himself as being " in the prime of life, being about
40, possessed of an excellent constitution, affable,
and obliging." Won by this description, the
defendant engaged him at once. But three months
afterwards the defendant dismissed him on the alleged
grounds of incompetency as an editor and reporter, and
as unable to read proofs. For three months after this
the plaintiff had been kept out of employment, and bad
at last obtained a similar appointment as editor of the
Carmarthen Journal, at a less salary—the handsome re
muneration of 80/. a year. This the Learned Counse

for the plaintiff opened as laying grounds for appropriate
damages. .

Proof was then given by calling one of the clerks of
the WhitehavenHerald that the plaintiff had acted in the
capacity of editor and reporter for the Cumberland
Packet; and the handwriting to the plaintiff's and defen-
dant's letters forming the agreement was also proved.
In this witnesses opinion a month's notice to quit was
the proper notice for an editor.
Mr. Sergeant WILKINs objected to the letters being
pat in unless stamped.
One of the series had a half-crown stamp placed
upon it.
Mr. Sergeant WILKINS submitted that the 2s. 6d.
stamp by the recent Stamp Act, was made applicable
only to agreements requiring a 11. stamp under the old
Stamp Act. But letters forming an agreement under the
old statute required a 355. stamp, and they were not re-
ferred to by the new Act.
His LORDSHIP hold that the proviso relating to letters
in the old Act was in mitigation that they should in no
case require more than a 355. stamp whatever quantity
of words they might contain. But if the present letters
contained more than 1,050 words they would require an
additional stamp.
Mr. Sergeant WILKINS then objected that the words
of the letters must be counted.

Mr. CowLiNc said the defendant ought to be prepared
with a witness who had counted the words, if he insisted

that the single stamp was insufficient, and referred to a
case in support of this position.
His LORDSHIP said he should admit the letters as
evidence.

The letters were then put in. Those dismissing the
plaintiff complained, in addition to general incompe-
tency, that the plaintiff was unable to spell correctly, or
write grammatically, or punctuate properly.
Evidence was then given that the ordinary period of
engagement for an editor was 12 months.
This was the plaintiff's case.
Mr. Sergeant WILKINS, for the defendant, said the
plaintiff had been demented to ran into this action, as he
should prove him to be utterly incompetent to the duties
of either editor, reporter, or reader; and whatever the
result of the action, it must be disastrous for him. Ile
would show, in support of the plea of fraud, that the
plaintiff had made misrepresentations, and stated false-
hoods, by means of which he had obtained his engage-
ment with the defendant, and he would exhibit to them
specimens of the plaintiff's incompetency which would
disgrace a Sunday school child. In one of the letters
the plaintiff stated that ho had been five years editor of
the Rule Packet, and had raised its circulation from 500
to 1,500. Ho should prove that before the defendant
left that paper its circulation was only 250. He had
also stated that he was a reporter on the Leeds ln-
telligencer. Ho should prove that ho never was engaged
in any capacity on that newspaper. The Learned Sr-
geant then real a great number of instances of bad spell-
ing and incorrect grammar from the letters put in, and
from the manuscripts of the plaintiff sent to the
printers of the defendant's newspaper, and also some
scraps of Latin from printed paragraphs the plaintiff
had written. One of these read " Scaviter in modo ;
fortiter in rca ;" another read " Cum multis alias."
rho description which the plaintiff gave of his previous
engagensents and qualifications reminded him of Caleb
Qeotem's description of himself—" I am the village fac-
totum, I bleed, and draw teeth ; I can write leaders,
grind paragraphs, draw up reports, and supply you with
anything from a wheelebarrow down to a toothpick."—
(Laughter.) Was there ever such a hash as that letter
seen ? " The bear put his head out of the window, I
cried, ' what no soap !' ho died and she married the
gardener."—(Load laughter.) The Learned Sergeant
then read portions of one or two of the leading
articles written by the plaintiff. One began, " Thanks
to the Chancellor there is not mach difficulty in dis-
secting his sceme." Another began, "From the un-
equivocable defeats of last week sustained by the Free-
trade Ministry, Limo was when such defeats would
have been followed by a resignation." He wished
the Ministry know in whose hands their fate rested.
—(Great laughter.) The Learned Sergeant then
read a great many other singular blunders from printed '
paragraphs written by the plaintiff. In one he spoke of
a farmer who was in possession of a half-bred yew"
(ewe); in another he spoke of the " barrakadee; ' in
another " he hoped Sunday school teachers would devout
their time;" in another ho wrote about "a subjointed
document just issued," &c. These errors gave the com-
positors great trouble in correcting the press, and the de-
fendant, who for many years had edited his own paper,
and had only given up that occupation to avoid the
labour of it, had been compelled to correct tho
plaintiff's manuscripts. The plaintiff had gone
down to him from London in a wretched con-
dition, and the defendant had lent him money to
make himself decent, and had regularly paid him his
salary of 21. a week till he left him. If he satisfied the
jury of the plaintiff's incompetency, that he had obtained
his engagement with the defendant by fraud and false-
hood, and that nothing was owing to the plaintiff when
he left for work done, the defendant had a right to dis-
miss him at a moment's notice, and he looked therefore
for their verdict. _ _ _

Mr. R. H. Gibson, the son of the defendant, was then
called and produced quantities of the plaintiff's manu-
scripts, and pointed out the blunders read by the
Learned Sergeant in his speech. Oa cross-examination
it appeared that his father had had six. editors in about
18 months for the Cumberland Packet, who had remained
in that capacity from two to five months each. Of these
some got into debt and ran away, the debts of others fol-
lowed them, some had been turned away for incompe-
tency, and one because be was " disobedient." (The
examination of this witness occasioned some amusement
from his constant provincial omission of the letter "h,"
which gave the Learned Counsel for the plaintiff an op-
portunity of retort in reply.)
The printer of the defendant's paper was then called to
prove the trouble and expense occasioned by the plain-
tiff's bad "copy." This witness, speaking of tho plain-
tiff, said, " He did not like his style."
A number of gentlemen employed in various capaci-
ties on different newspapers were called, who proved
that when the plaintiff, 25 years ago, was on the Hull
Packet, that paper circulated 270 copies, and never
reached 500; that the plaintiff had never been employed
on the Leeds Intelligencer in any capacity; that he had
been discharged from the Nottingham Guardian as editor
for incapacity ; and that although it was possible for a
person to be capable, and yet very negligent, yet that
faults in spelling were not faults of negligence, and, ge-
nerally, that the " copy " produced waa not such as a
competent editor would furnish.
This was the defendant's case.
Mr. ATHERTON having replied, contended that many
of the faults in the manuscript produced were apparently
faults of rapid and negligent writing in a bad hand, and
that the plea of fraud Was not lubstantiated, unless the

jury believed that when the plaintiff represented himself
to be competent be believed that he was not so. Unless
this plea were made out, there was no doubt that the
plaintiff was entitled to their verdict for a year's salary.
His LORDSIIIP having summed up,
The jury, atter a short absence, I ound a verdict for
the defendant.

CROWN COURT.—(BNfore Mr. Baron PLATT.)

TRIAL OF THE REV. J. S3IITH FOR MANSLAUGHTER.
Joseph Smith was indicted for having at Walton, on
the 16th of April last, killed and slain William Arm-
strong.
Mr. Temple and Mr. Otter conducted the prosecution,
and Mr. James and Mr. Thompson the defence.
The facts of this case are well known from their recent
extensive publication. The prisoner, who is a clergy-
man, about 45 years of age, was accompanied into
the dock by his wife. They were accommodated with
seats, and the prisoner appeared deeply to feel his
position.
Mr. TEMPLE, in opening the case for the prosecution,
said the deceased, William Armstrong, was a farmer,
residing at a place called Sambrities, two miles over the
border, was respectably descended, was married, and had
two children, and was about 38 years of rip, and was in
his neighbourhood generally respected. On the 16th April
last, having occasion to go to Brampton-market on.busi-
ness, he dined with some friends there and drank freely.
He left to go home between 9 and 10 o'clock with a
neighbour named Elliott. It was then very moonlight.
They had not proceeded very far when the deceased,
who was on horseback, cantered off and was overtaken
by Elliott at Hetherington's public-house, and here they
met another neighbour named Richardson. On their
way home, and when not far from the lane which led
to Walton, the deceased rode quickly off, and was not
seen again alive. Next day a little girl named Graham
found th© body of the deceased lying at the parsonage-
gate, where the prisoner lived, and his pony standing near.
An alarm being given the villagers assembled, and the
prisoner came out of his house and looking at the body
said, " Oh, he's dead," and then returned into his house.
One of the villagers told him he had heard the reports
of pistols during the night, the prisoner answered, " Yes,
that he had heard a knocking at the door and fired."
He then stooped down and looked at a hole made in the
coat of the deceased, and said, it was he who shot the
man; they came about his house, he thought they were
going to break in upon him, and he fired. The ques-
tion for the jury would be, whether the prisoner had
acted under such circumstances and had taken such
reasonable precautions as would justify him in firing his
pistol as he had done. If he had not, he would be guilty
of manslaughter.
Thomas Richardson, farmer, a neighbour of the de-
ceased, was then called and proved leaving Hethering-
ton's public-house on the 16th of April with the de-
ceased, who was rather tipsy. It was a very moonlight
night. When near Walton-lane the deceased cantered
off in the direction of Walton, and they did not see him
again alive.
William Elliott was with the deceased at Brampton,
and went with him to Hetherington's. He corroborated
the last witness.

Mary Ann Graham, a little girl, thirteen years old,
who was in the habit of taking milk to the prisoner's
house every morning, proved that on the morning of
the 17th of April, on going through his gate, at the
entrance to the shrubbery, she saw a man lying on
his back inside the gate. His hat and stick were lying
by his side. She was afraid to go through, and went
back and called a neighbour named Nixon, who went
with her to the parsonage. She also saw Ann Glen-
dinning, and told her what she had seen, and Mrs.
Nixon and Ann Glendinning went up to the body, and
the prisoner came out and went to them. He was dressed
in his flsnnel shirt, trousers, and slippers. She asked
asked him if he was dead, and he replied—" Sure enough
he is dead; what shall we do?" She said there must be
somebody fetched. The prisoner then went back into
his house, and she went for William Taylor and Walter
Phillips. When they came back the prisoner was dressed.
The prisoner then said, " I have been the occasion of the
death of this poor man," and they discovered who the
deceased was.

Joseph Foster said that he went a little before eight
o'clock to the prisoner's gates, and saw the prisoner
come to the body of the deceased, and heard him make
the remark stated by the List witness. A man named
Taylor said, " The man has shot himself," and witness
said, "No, Mr. Smith has shot him;" and the prisoner
again repeated the expression, "I've been the death of
the poor man." The prisoner then stated that some
persons came to his house during the night, and made
such a noise that he got a pistol. lie thought they
were going to break in, and he fired out of the door,
and had taen away the life cf a man: and he would
now give up his own to bring the other back.
Ann Glendinning, a servant to the prisoner in April
last, stated that the prisoner was married, and had tour
children. She slept over the study, and went to bed at
eleven o'clock, leaving Mr. and Mrs. Smith in the dining-
room. She was awoke some time after by loud knocks.
She thenSheard the front door bang, and heard some one
go upstairs quickly. She then fell asleep. In the
morning the little girl Graham told her about the body
of a man being in the shrubbery, and she went to it. The
witness then corroborated what the other witness had
stated. On cross-exatnination, she stated that the win-
dows of the study below where she slept made a great
rattle when moved. Mr. Smith had said that he heard
this window rattle, and went into the study, and, being
alarmed, he went and got his pistols and then ran to the
door and fired off his pistols and slammed the door to
again, and then ran upstairs, and that he felt very much
terrified, being the only man in the house.
Sarah Blacklock, nurse in the prisoner's family, gave
similar evidence. _

John Foster, constable of Walton, on the morning of
the 17th, asked the prisoner why he had fired at the
man without speaking. The prisoner said he had suf-
fered much before he fired; he thought they were going
to break into his house, and he was so unmanned that he
fired, and it was an accident. _ _

Cross-examined—The prisoner had been incumbent
15 years. The living was a very small ono.
Mr. John Graham, a doctor of medicine, had examined
the deceased on the 17th of April. He found a bullet
in his body. Ho had been wounded in the right
shoulder and in the breast, and had died from a gunshot
wound.

It was then proved that the prisoner had purchased
some time before a revolving pistol at Carlisle.
This was the case for the prosecution.
Mr. JAMES, in an able defence, contended that the
prisoner, under a Lona fide impression that his house
was about to be broken in at midnight, was justified in
firing his pistol to alarm those whom he believed to be
attacking his house; and unfortunately, in so doing, ho
had accidentally shot the deceased.
Mr. Baron PLATT left it to the jury to say whether
they believed the prisoner had bona fide acted under such
circumstances of alarm, and whether, being justified in
protecting his house, in firing his pistol he had acci-
dentally shot the deceased.
The jury retired, and after an absence of half an hour
found the prisoner Not Guilty.
The prisoner immediately fell on his knees and raised
his hands to Heaven. This act seemed to be respected,
and the densely-crowded court was silent.
This case was not over until nearly 11 o'clock at night.
To-morrow Mr. Baron Platt proceeds to Appleby.
Mr. Justice Williams will remain at Carlisle to finish
some very heavy nisi prius causes, which it is said will
occupy the time till the commission-day at Lancaster.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Aug. 7.
(Before Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, Assistant-Judge, and a
Bench of Magistrates.)
Sophia Cressey, aged 23, and Ann Newman, aged 20,
wore indicted for having stolen a purse of the value of
sixpence, containing four or five sovereigns and five or
six half-sovereigns, the property of Walter M'Arthur
Robinson, from his person.
Mr. Birnie appeared for Cressey, and Mr. Metcalfe de-
fended Newman.

It appeared that the prosecutor is a brickmaker in the
employment of a contractor upon the railway near
Oundle, in Northamptonshire, at whose instigation a
fellow-labourer and himself came up to London to pay a
visit to the Great Exhibition. On their arrival in town
they engaged lodgings in the vicinity of the Strand, and
on the night of the 20th ult. they were proceeding
homewards along the Strand when they met the two pri-
soners, with one of whom his friend went to a house of
ill-fame, in Newcastle-court. The prosecutor followed
them with the hope of inducing his companion to ac-
company him home and at once leave the woman. Bo
had no sooner entered the house than he instantly be-
came acquainted with its character, and thereupon ho
called upon the prisoner Newman to let him out,
which she at length consented to do, whereon she
and the other prisoner led him into a bedroom, and he
followed them, supposing that through the room might
be a way towards the street-door. As soon as they had
got him into the bedroom they placed themselves the one
on each side of him, and began to push him about, and
as he was endeavouring to effect his escape from their
clutches one of them managed to force her hand into his
pocket and draw out his purse. He then called for the
police, and one of that body quickly answered the Dell.
The policeman proceeded to the bedroom, and demanded
admission, but the prosecutor refused to open th
outside
until he had been assured by his friend from r 7 door
bad let the
that a policeman was there. As soon as b

On behalf of the
their respective counsel that there was no proof of the
robbery having been committed by either of them.
The Learned JUDGE having summed up the evidence,
The jury found both the prisoners Guilty.
The Learned JUDGE then desired Inspector Brennan
to communicate to the parish authorities of St. Clement
Danes that he had received an intimation from a source
which be could not doubt, that two respectable persons
had proffered to indict the keepers of the infamous
houses which were in this 'Newcastle-court--a place
where robberies were of almost constant occurrence,
but that the pa,riah had refused) to auder any AleigtallM

T.

They, had already, Cia;ing the present melon, tried two
-Theof robberies committed in that court.
—The inspector stated, he believed that both the rob-
beries had taken place in the same house, or, at•all
events, that they had been committed in houses belong-
ing to the same person.
The Learned JunoE said that the scenes which took
place in Newcastle-court and its condition were atm-
lately disgraceful. Indeed, that court was one of the
greatest nuisances of the metropolis, and the conduct of
the parish authorities in refusing to aid in the proposed
attempts to obtain the removal of the nuisance was most
scandalous, He was anxious that the public expreaaion
of the disgust which the Court entertained of their con-
duct in this matter should be officially communicated to
the proper parties, and also that the subject should be
brought under the notice of the public, as thereby the
whole of the inhabitants of the neighbourhood would be.
come acquainted with what was going on near them. in
that case, then, it was to be hoped that the parishioners
would adopt such steps as would lead to the total ovine_
tion of a state of things in their parish which was truly
disgraceful.

The sentence upon the prisoners was—nine months'
imprisonment and hard labour.
Jane Potter, aged 30, was indicted for haying stolen a
pair of scissors of the value of 10d., the property of
Isaac Friedlander.

Mr. Trevethan Spicer appeared for the prisoner:
, This robbery was also committed in Newcastle-court,
but under a different state of circumstances to those de•
tailed in the preceding case.
The prosecutor is a foreign Jew hawker, and as he
was passing through the court with his " box" or "pack"
of jewellery and cutlery, he was hailed from the window
of one of the houses. Deeming it beneath his dignity to
expose or to sell his wares in the public street, he en-
tered into the passage of the building, where he was met
by the prisoner and a man. The latter took up a single
earring ont of the collection which the prosecutor had to
dispose of, and a discussion ensued as to whether it was
gold or not during which the woman at the bar took up
a pair of scissors. There appearing to be no chance of
effecting a dealing, the prosecutor requested the prisoner
and her male friend to return the scissors and the ear-
ring, whereupon the man told him that if he did not pack
up his traps and be off ho would kick him out. The pro-
secutor, in the end, to avoid the alternative of a forcible
ejection, did as he was bid; but the first policeman he
met he put his arresting powers into operation, and the
girl was secured, but the man effected his escape.
The fiery returned a verdict of Guilty.
The Learned JUDGE remarked that ibis was the third
case of robbery he had tried during the present. sessions
coming from this notorious Newcastle-court and yet,
notwithstanding the notoriety which that plane had at-
tained fur these things, the parish authorities still de-
clined to render any assistance in an attempt to clear out
its present occupants; simply, it was to be presumed, on
the ground that the adoption of legal proceedings might
entail an expense of some 301. or 401. All this time,
too, the property in the immediate locality must, in
consequence of the existence of this place, be depre-
ciating in value.
Inspector Brennan hero said that, since he had been
in court that day, he had been informed that as many as
from six to ten robberies in a day had been committed in
this court.
The Learned JUDGE inquired how it had happened
that the man who had taken the earring—for the woman
had only taken the scissors—hacl not been apprehended?
Tho policeman replied that the man had made his es-
cape by running off.
Another policeman said that the man was at that mo-
ment its court.
The Learned JUDGE ordered the man to be at once
taken into custody.
This order was, much to the astonishment of the man,
instantly put into operation.
The Learned JUDGE then sentenced the woman to six
months' imprisonment, and directed that the man whom
he had ordered into custody should be taken before the
magistrate at the police-court in the district where the
robbery had been committed.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
BOW-STREET.

Mr. John Chapman, the well-known bookseller and
publisher, 142, Strand, appeared before Mr. Jardine
upon a summons in which he was charged with having
unlawfully neglected to leave with the authorities of the
British Museum a copy of a certain book a month after
publication.

- Mr. Bodkin attended to prefer the complaint.
Mr. Richard Edmonds, clerk to the solicitors of the
Museum, stated that on the 24th June he purchased a
work entitled "An Historical Analysis of Christian.
Civilization," by Professor De Verecour, at the defen-
dant's shop, and it purported to have been published by
him.

In answer to the charge the defendant said he had
heard nothing of the circumstance until he received the
summons, and he would have readily complied with the
provisions of the Act under which it was issued bad not
the list of books usually sent by him to the Museum
been lost.

Mr. Antonio Pinazzi, keeper of the printed books at
the Museum, proved that a copy of the work produced
had never been transmitted to the establishment.
Mr. Bodkin said the trustees were under the painful
necessity of taking proceedings against a highly-re-
spectable publisher in consequence of the neglect of
others in failing to deliver in a copy of every new work,
particularly as there seemed to be a❑ impression among
the trade that the authorities were bound to send for it,
which was never intended by any clause in. the Copy-
right Act.
The defendant assured the Court that his clerk had
directions to send a copy of every now work in the usual
way. which he thought bad been done ; and it was not
until a person called from the Museum to inform him
of the omission that he discovered the book had bean
lost.

Mr. Pinazzi said that no person hold been authorised
to call; but in courtesy a letter had,been sent, of which
no notice was taken, and it was not the only instance
of neglect on the part of the defendant ; besides, any
porson delivering a copy was entitled by law to get a
receipt.

A 6. Bodkin said the trustees were not anxious to
press for penalties ; but there were expenses necessarily
incurred, and if they were paid the ends of justice
would be sufficiently answered.
Mr. JARDINE considered the fact had been satisfac-
torily made out, and ordered the defendant to pay a
penalty of 95., the price of the book, the costs, and a
nominal fine of is., amounting to 3/. 155.
The defendant gave a cheque for the amount, and he
was discharged.
