LAW INTELLTGXNO.2.--(rhis Day).

(Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.)

IN ,IIE EYKE AND WIIIFFIN.

These bankrupts %ere described as of Milton•strcet,
City, carmen, and came up to pass their last eaamina•
tion on accounts prepared by Mr. H. C. Johnson, Iron-

dsstroybd, and the Iris was She was
in a very dangerous state, and might now have a relapse.
Mr. Grey, surgeon, who resides at Howlett-villas, de-
posed that he examined the prosecutrix, and described
the state of the wound.

By Mr. Justice Williams—The pistol must have been
close to her face, or she must have been killed. The
wound was such as would have been inflicted by a stone.
The statement of the prisoner before the magistrate
was put in and read, ia wbich he said he was in that
state of mind that he did not know what he was about.
This was the csse for the prosecution.

Mr. Sleigh addressed the jury at some length on be-
half of the prisoner, urging that this case was widely
different from those genera•ly brought before a jury,
and implored them to consider the state of the prisoner's
feelings at the time of the committal of the offence,
which must have rendered him unanswerable for
his actions, and asked them to take that merciful
view of the case, and find the prisoner guilty
of one of the minor c•mnts in the indictment, and not
on the first count, charging him with intent to commit
murder, whereby he would be subject to a sentence
placing his life at the mercy of the Cro
Mr. Gill and Mr. Jacobs, nurserymen, by whom the
prisoner bad been employed, gave him an excellent cha-
racter for amiability of temper, and that he was a sober,
well-conducted, moral young man. Mr. Jacobs said
that from the prisoner% late conduct he and his men had
remarked that they thought he was " cracked."
Mr. Justice Williams, in summing up, said that the
question the jury had to decide was whether from the
facts of the case they were satisfied the prisoner at the
time of the committal of the offence intended to murder
the prosecutrix, and the only way in which they could
judge of the man's intentions was by his acts. There
were no grounds for believing the prisoner was unac-
countable for his actions at the time he committed the
offence with which he stood charged ;• and however pain.
ful it might be to them, if they were satisfied the first
count had been made out, it was their duty to return a
verdict on the count which charged him with the inten-
tion to commit murder.

The jury, after ten minutes' deliberation in the box,
retired, and after an absence of an hour returned into
court with a verdict of guilty on the second count of
firing with intent to do grievous bodily berm.
Sentence deferred.

FORGERY ON THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK.—John
Cooper, 24, drysalter, pleaded guilty to an indictment
charging him with forgery, and uttering three orders for
the payment of money, with intent to defraud the Royal
British Bank.
Sentence deferred.

POLICE INTETJ.TGENCE.—(This Day.

MARLBOROTIGILSTREET.

SINGULAR APPLICATION. A well-dressed elderly
woman appeared before Mr. Beadon to ask his advice
under the following circumstances :
Applicant stated that an envelope manufacturer, whose
name she did not mention, had patented a new invented
envelope, and offered a reward of 501. to any person who
should succeed in opening it. She had opened it, and
when she applied for the reward she was told that the
reward was offered without his sanction, and that he
should certainly decline giving her 501. She now wished
to know how she was to proceed in order to recover the
amount.

Mr. Beadon said he could not assist her ; she had
better consult some respectable solicitor, as her only
remedy would be by action in the County Court.
Applicant said she should certainly adopt his worship's
advice, as she was determined to try and recover the
reward.
Mr. Beadon hoped she might get it.

James Moran, a lad 13 years of age, was charged with
stealing a drum of figs, the property of Mr. Archibald
Andrews, grocer, 72, Tottenham-court-road.
The prisoner, who is a notorious young thief, went
into prosecutor's shop and took up the drum of figs and
ran off with it. Prosecutor followed him and gave him
into custody.

The prisoner was committed for two months, and to
be well whipped during that time.

THAMES.

A NEGLICTED STEPON.—Mr. Pelham, the solicitor,
called the attention of Mr. Sella to a poor deaf and dumb
boy, who he stated was 17 years and 5 months old, but
who did not look more than 12. The boy was son of
Captain Gill, master of a ship, the name of which he
could not ascertain, and apprenticed to a tailor, mussed
Adshead, of No. York-street, Commercial-road,
East. The boy's step-mother, Amelia Gill, was residing
at No. 14, St George'a•place, Back-road, St. George's-
in-the-east, and although in possession of an ample allow-
ance from her husband refused to acknowledge the step-
son or do anything for him.

Mr. Selfe said the boy appeared to be very ill, and
let either hie master or step-mother ought to provide

for hits.

Mr. Pelham believed the step-mother received as
much as el. per month from her husband, upon an al-
lotment note, and whioh would be paid until the hue.
band's return.

Mr. Selfe said the boy was very ill and pale, and must
not be neglected. He thought it was a matter for parish
interference.

Maria Torodi, the aunt of the boy, said she bad main•
tained him some time, and was about to return to Liver-
pool. Mr. Adshead, the tailor, had received an appren•
tice fee of 101. from the committee of a charity school
for the deaf and dumb in the Old Kent road. The boy
was apprenticed in November, 1853, for a term of seven
years. Mr. Adshead could not keep the boy any longer,
and bad sent a letter to his stepmother stating that the
lad was in a bad state of health and required nourishing
food. This letter brought forth the following reply :
"Mr. Gill his now on his way to the Coliny's, and
will not be home till next April at the soonest. He told
his son to come and see him before he sailed last May
12 months, but he did not think proper to do so, i can
say nothing to it myself."

Mr. Selfe said that the stepmother, master, and
aunt of the aflicted boy, whose appearance was truly
pitiable, all appeared desirous of relieving themselves of
the burthen of supporting him. The eon of a man who
was in the position of captain of a ship in the Austra-
lian trade ought to be well provided for. If the step-
mother would not support the poor helpless creature,
who was deprived of speech and bearing, the parish
must interfere. He directed Howland, a police con-

stable, No. 89 11, attached to the court, to wait on
Mrs. Gill, the stepmother, immediately, and call her
attention to the sickly and weak ly condition of her step
son, and if she would not provide him with a mainten•
ance the parish officers must take charge of the boy.
