LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, May 16.
(Sittings at Nisi Prins, bwfore Lord CAMPBELL and
Common Juries.)
HANDFORD V. DE VISME.

In this case the plaintiff sought to recover damages
for a breach of promise of marriage. When it was
called on
Mr. Sergeant WILKINS said, he was happy to say
the Court would be saved the trouble of trying it, as
the parties had come to an arrangement. On the
part of the defendant, he was willing to consent to a
verdict being given for the plaintiff with 3501. damages.
He also said a plea had been put on the record which he
regretted had ever been placed there, and he wished en-
tirt-ly to withdraw it.
Lord CAMPBELL said, the plea would bo taken pro
non scripto.
A verdict was then taken for the plaintiff, with
3501. damages.
Mr. James, Q C., me. Pearson. and Mr. Charnock
appearEd for the plaintiff; and Mr. Sergeant Wilkins
and Mr. M. Smith for the defendant.

feloniously nutting
grievous bodily harm,
Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Clark prosecuted on behalf of
the Treasury.
It appeared that on the evening
of the 6th of April a
serious disturbance took place in TooleY -street on
a number of the lower order of Irish; two of them, among
Lynch and Walsh, began to fight. The prosecutor,
who is a police•constible, interfered to prevent a breach
of the peace, took Lynch into custody, and was about to
convey him to the police-station, when
his companions
interfered with a view to rescue him, and the prisoner,
who took an active part in exciting the mob to attack
he police, wrenched the staff from the prosecutor and at-
tacked him with it in a most savage manner, inflictng a
desperate wound upon his head, which felled him to the
ground insensible, and he remained for some time in a
dangerous state, owing to this and other injuries ho re-
ceivea upon the occasion.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and,
The Learned JunaE, after observing upon the savage
and unmanly conduct he had exhibited, and the neces-
sity for protecting the police in the execution of their
duty, sentenced him to be transported for ten years.
John Lynch, 29. labourer, Bartholomew Coghlan, 27,
tailor, Patrick Collins, 17, labourer, Michael Walsh, 26,
labourer, and Margaret Hart, who surrendered, were
then arraigned, upon another indictment, charging them
with feloniously wounding Samuel Congdon, a police•
constable.
Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Clerk prosecuted; Mr. Worsley
and Mr. Cockle appeared for Hart and Collies.
This prosecution tow out of the same transaction as
the former, and the facts deposed to were pretty nearly
the same.
The jury Acquitted Walsh, Hart, and Lynch, and
found the other prisoners, Collins and Coghlan, Guilty,
but recommended them to mercy, Collins on account of
his youth, and Coghlan on account of the good cha-
racter he had received.
Mr. Justice TALFOURD sentenced Collins to be impri-
soned and kept to hard labour for 18 and Coghlan for 12
months.
John Lynch then pleaded guilty to another ()barge
preferred against him for a common assault, and be was
sentenced to be imprisoned for 6 months.
Mary Ann Coster, 20, was indicted for the wilful mur-
der of her illegitimate male child by drowning it.
Mr. Ryland prosecuted, and Mr. Parry defended the
prisoner.
The evidence merely went to show that on the 26th of
March the prisoner was delivered of the child in ques-
tion at her father's house, in York-street, St. Luke's,
and Mr. Mack, a medical gentleman, who was called in,
expressed an opinion that the child was born alive, and
that its death was the result of drowning; but the reasons
for this opinion were by no means conclusive, and there
wes an utter absence of any evidence to show that, even
supposing
the child had, in point of fact, been born
alive, the death was the result of any wilful act on the
part of the prisoner. The Coroners jury, it appeared,
had returned a verdict of "Found Drowned."
Mr. Baron ALDERSON stopped the case, and the jury,
under his Lordship's direction, returned a verdict of Not
Guilty.
Thomas Humphrey, 18, was indicted for cutting and
wounding William Burton, a police-constable, with
intent to prevent his lawful apprehension.
It appeared that on the night of the 28th of April the
prosecutor had taken a girl into custody for disorderly
conduct, and as be was conveying her to the station-
house the prisoner interfered and struck him. He im-
mediately laid hold of the prisoner, who walked with
him a short distance towards the police-station quietly,
but upon their getting to a spot that was rather dark be
began to struggle with the policeman, and at length drew
a knife from his pocket and stabbed him in the arm, in-
flicting it very severe wound. Not•sithstanding the in.
