WHAT 'DO' YOU THINK OF MOSES'
CLOTH ?
I think this cloth is woven well,
Such cloth is certain to excel ;
'Tie sound and stout, nor can we trace
A single blemish on its fate;
Wkth cloth so choice and cloth so strong,
NO rionder that the dress lasts 'long.
• ,What do you think of MOSES' style?
I think it's elegantly neat,
I think it matchless and complete,
I think, it beautifully chaste,
I think, it shows the cutter's taste,
I wonder not that thousands smile
Approvingly on such a style.
What do you think of MOSES' make ?
I'm led, to think from what I ken, •
That they employ the best of men ;
No slighting faults are found to lurk
In any portion of the work ;
In fact you need not ask me whether
The'elothes are rightly put together.
What do you think of MOSES' fit?
.What do I think of MOSES' fit ?
I think it truly exquisite.
I really always view with pleasure
The skilful way they use the measure:
They have an admirable tact
In making us a flt exact.
What do you think of MOSES' prices ?
I tell you what, I can but wonder
To find their prices so much under.
Tesee the garments they supply,
One might suppose they'd charge us high.
But, no, their list of prices show
They sell astonishingly low.
A handsome Almanac, for the year 1851, can be had gratis, en

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

There was no satisfactory evidence of their being en 7
gaged En a common design to defraud the prosecutor.
The Learned JUDGE, in summing up, asked the jury
whether they did not believe that the whole transaction
was a trick ? If, instead of a speech, the prisoner bad
produced his, venerable parent, whose wor was,not to
ha broken, or the besstsabopt which tio pretended 'to
be trafficking, the case 'would have-ben 'a'very dif-
ferent one.

while, the woman.present asked.the prisoner, to remove
the lamp from- the man's face, that the man might, have
Alittle breath. ' The apron was then reinoved, and the
lauip,also: •.We • tbenlraised the man up in 'a sitting)
posture, at prisoner's 'request, And he Itrucktbo, maw
several times in the sides. He
,then. asked, me, to fetch;
' some bread. I 'did so. He "cut a piece;
which •• he wrapped -round 'a pill. ' Thil he put
into the man's' •mouth, who - swallowed' it.-- lie.c•
next asked for .t feather. I gave him ono from an; oil
bottle used ;for the .burns, and ,he pushed it down the
man's throat: The man was sick, on which the priioner'
said, "That is the gar I-Ampunapinerom the mitt's
stomach?' He then put the lamp to him a% before, and
moved his arms and legs about. „ After this, he placed
one of the " lights " he had burning into a jug, telling,
me to hold it under the mane ' nose, and I'did in. The
prisoner then went out, and a few -minutes, afterwards'
Mr. Davies came in. The man got worse from. that time,
till two o'clock the next day, when he died: There wag
an alteration far the-worse after the prigotier treated him.'
(To the JUdge)—The sick man Said, In reply to the pri-.
goner, " Ithink I feel myself better.", But in my:opir.
nion he was worse foe what was done to him.
Cross-examined
,by the prisoner (who had placed a j
lighted tiper, like a night mortar, on the rail of the bar
before him)—There was a policeman present ruined Jahn
Reece. The instrument you used Ivas,such as tlit!ts. [The I
prisoner held ups tin lamp with an open top, , and thp,
slide cut away so as to admit the' lower ,jaw. • I liettie
what is called the ".rattles " in the man's throat before'
you came; I think,it was the day before. I have not heard,
that the rattles are indicative of approaching death. I did
not heir the noise when the lamp•was put to the man's
face. Edward-Davies kept 'the, man's lower jaw Up.
Tingle's hands were -bound up in plasters.- You told
me to move all his toes, then to move his ankles
.and
his knees, and I did so. There was A great smell
of plasters in the room. You told me to open
the windows, ,and • Tingles . wife to shake a cloth
about the room. We did so . and it bedtime
sweeter. ~Wheu weyetiped the man up in gm bed hhad
the noise in hiathrOtit; You applied -the lamp sn9 he'
then breathed freely through the • nose. lam aware
that when a man breathes freely through; the nostrils
his lower jow must be up. [The prisoner, addressing
the Court, here said—" My Lord,lhese are plillosephi-
cal questions of great importance, which I must lead
out from the witness."] When you asked the man to
sit up, I said he is too weak to do so. The man only
breathed from the lamp in the jug two or three minutes,
till the doctor came. You went out, saying you must
go to another sick man in the next house. [The pri-
soner here again addressed the Court, saying he had
now to go into a point of:great interest, very curious, and
not generally understood.] When the sick man sat up
in bed, you passed a feather down his throat, and some
phlegm came up. [The prisoner, excitedly—That is it,
my Lord.] You then got bread, and administered a pill.
I cannot say the man's wife seemed gratified that be
could sit up. •
Re-examined by Mr. GROVE—Reece' the policeman,
was not in the same room when the pill was given and
the feather used.

ROME ClRCUlT.—Chelmsford, March 3.

The commission for the county of Essex was opened
today, and the Learned Judges proceeded immediately
to business.

The gaol calendar presents a fearful array of crime;
there being 76 prisoners for trial, and nearly the whole
of tho cases are of the most atrocious description.
Lord Chief Justice CAMPBELL, who sat on the Crown
side, in addressing the grand jury, said that, upon look-
ing over the calendar, be was horror-stricken at its con-
tents, for he found that there were no less than five
charges of murder, 12 of arson, a great number of bur-
glary, and, in fact, there were charges of almost every
description of aggravated offence known to the law; anal
he observed that he really felt so much weighed down by
observing the extent of crime that was to be, disposed of,
that he could not do more than ask them to retire at
once to perform the duties that devolved upon them.
illellicent Page, 42, married, an inoffensive, motherly-
looking woman, attired iu deep mourning, was indicted
for the wilful murder of Susan. Smith Page, her daugh-
ter, by cutting her throat.
Mr. Ryland conducted the, prosecution; the 'prisoner
was defended by Mr. T. Chambers.
The Learned COUNSEL, instating the case for the pro-
secution, said that the prisoner had been arraigned upon
the present charge at the Lent assizes in 1850, and was
then found to be insane and unfit to plead, and since that
period she bad had been confined in gaol, but, having
DOW recovered, was placed upon her trielc but be appre-
hended the only .question the jury would have to decide
was as to the state of mind of the prisoner at the time
she committed the act imputed to her.
Some witnesses were then examined, from whose evi-
dence it appeared that the prisoner was the wife of a
labouring man in this town, and that up to the time of
tbe occurrence she had always berne the character of an
,affectionate wife and mother. Ia November, 1849, she
was delivered -of -the child in qiestion, and it appeared
. that shortly after she had recovered from her confine-
ment she was observed to be in a very desponding way,
and was frequently heard to exclaim that she did not
know how she should be able to live, as her husband had
had his wages reduced. It appeared that soon after
this her husband was discharged from his em-
ployment, and this still further preyed upon her mind.
On the morning of the day named in the indictment
she went in her nightclothes to the house of a neighbour
named Cooke, a shoemaker, in a wild and excited state,
and exclaimed to him, "I have killed my poor dear
babe, and have tried to kill myself, but I can't." Mr.
Cooke said he hoped what she said was not true, and
she said it was. She put her hand up to her throat, and
ho observed the blood oozing between her fingers. He
then obtained assistance, and proceeded immediately to
the prisoner's house, where he found the child, with its
throat cut, covered over with the bedclothes and quite
dead, and a razor, with whiCh the dreadful act had
been committed, lying by its side.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, after a portion of the evi-
dence had been gone through, said it appeared to him
to be unnecessary to proceed further with the examina-
tion .of the witnesses, as he apprehended the jury could
not entertain any reasonable doubt that at the time the
prisoner committed the act she was not in such a state of
mind as to render her responsible for her actions.
The jury coincided with the opinion expressed by his
Lordship, and at once returned a verdict of Not Guilty
on the ground of insanity.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—Another Proof 'of the Effi-
cacy of Holloway's Ointment and Pills for the Cure of Bad
Legs.—Mrs. Mandeville, of Stretton, suffered for nearly three
years with fearful sores in both legs. Notwithstanding the
various medicines and treatment of which trial was made, the
ulcerations grew worse, and for months she was unable to stand.
At length it was decided that Holloway's Ointment and Pills
should be used, and these excellent medicines soon worked
wonders, for in a few weeks all the wounds were healed, and
the use of her leg so perfectly restored, that she is now able to
walk several miles a day with ease..—Sold by all Vendors of
Medicine, and at Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244,
Strand, London.

OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Abingdon, March 1.
The business here was brought to a close at a late
hour to-day. Mr. Justice Patteson, after trying a few
cases of larceny, rose at eleven o'clock. Mr. Justice
Talfourd was not able to rise till five o'clock.
CROWN COURT.—(Before. Mr. Justice TALFOURD.)
James Cross, 21, and John Tucker, 17, labourers, were
convicted yesterday, after a very long investigation, of
having det fire to two ricks of barley, belonging , to their
master, Mr. Brooks, a farmer at Kingston Bagpuizi on
the sth of December last, and were brought up to-day
for sentence.

Mr. Carrington, Mr. Skinner, and Mr. Sawyer ap-
peared for the prosecation; and Mr. Williams for the
prisoners.
No motive was assigned for the crime of which the
prisoners had been found guilty. They had been for
several years in the service of Mr. Brooks, and had been
always treated with the greatest kindness. On the very
day on which the fire occurred, the prisoners, who were
ploughmen, had destroyed two ploughs with which they
were working, and threw parts of them into a pond. This
they actually confessed, and for this they did not allege
any motive whatever; and after the fire occurred one of
them was heard to say, " Those that did the ploughs
did the fire."

Cross, when called up for judgment, made a very good
address—a re-echo of the counsel's speech—to show
that he was not guilty; but
His LORDSHIP said he was quite satisfied the verdict
was perfectly right. Their conduct was most inexcus-
able and wicked, and deserved a very severe punishment.
Transportation for 15 years.

Joseph Knots, 27, labourer, and John Bushnell,abeer-
shop keeper, who were also convicted yesterday of hav-
ing set fire to six stacks of oats and four stacks of wheat,
worth 1,4001., the property of Mrs. Mary Hamerton, at
Bray, in this county, were brought up for sentence.
Mr. Skinner had conducted the prosecution, and Mr.
Carrington the defence.
Bushnell protested his innocence, but, as in the former
case, his Lordship expressed his entire concurrence in
the propriety of the verdict, and passed the same sen-
tence-15 years transportation.
Joseph Saunders, aged 22, a shoemaker, was tried and
convicted of a rape on Miss Isabella Lydia Pullen, under
circumstances of great atrocity. He was an apprentice
to a shoeinaker in Maidenhead, named Adams, who had
a shop in Lee's-lane, on the Bray road. The prosecu-
trix, a very modest-looking girl, of 16 or 17 years of age,
wes in the habit of minding the shop for Mrs. Adams,
occasionally. Lee's-late is a part of Maidenhead that is
well frequented. On the 29th of August last, :between
three and four o'clock, Mrs. Adams was from home.
Her husband hdd gone to a neighbouring village, and
there were in the house only the prisoner, the prosecu-
trix, and an errand boy. The prisoner sent out the lad for
some eggs and butter into the town, and the moment the
lad was gone out the prisoner slammed to the door with
one hand,, and with the other flung the proseoutrix with
such violence on the floor that, her head first coming in
contact with it. she was stunned, and while she was
senseless ho effected his purpose. She immediately ran
home, complained to her mother, who is a respectable
widow lady in, reduced circumstances, and became very
ill, and continued so for several. days,
The jury, without deliberating for more than a few
minutes, found hitrt Guilty.

His LORDSHIP, in passing sentence, said the case was
as bad a one as any he recollected, except where a number
of ruffians combined to attack a single woman. A few
years past the.prisoner's crime would have subjected him
to the punishment of death, and if the law were now in
the same condition,. he certainly would not in the
slightest degree interpose to prevent its being carried
out to the fullest extent in the present instance. His
duty compelled him to pass the heaviest sentence whidh
the law allowed—transportation for life.
The commission was opened in the afternoon here by
Mr. Justice Patteson. The eause-list contains three
calendar
rf
hwahsicthhe, lutsiusarnumber said,
of sixty-five prisoners, only one is defended. The
several of whom are charged with serious offences.

Mr.l e faPrestonir. Near the Talbot
deposed as follows live near Oundle.
On Monday, the 25th of February, 1850, I went to
Ond I met a man, he
called himself Proctor.- It_was• about .half-past one. I
had a conversation with him about beasts. He said,
" Will you let me have, the beast,,?,,
u
I said I had.nene.
Clarke, the prisoner, came up behind me, 'and Proctor
said to him, •,13, ,4I to,fiave the beasts?" 'Prisoner said
to Proctor, You have bought one out of the lot, and
my father is an old man and_tvon't. forfeit his word, and:
won't let you have them. They asked me if Would,
step into the Talbot with- them to pet,
them tggether.
We all went into the Talbot. 'Proctdr gavd me' 504 land'
eight 54 notes and ton sovereigns, He put the& into,
my hadd. He said Wing to p 4 for.the beasts, because.
Clarke's father would not forfeit his word, therefore I
was to hand the money over. I did hand it over. Clarke
said that would not do. He said, " I can't take your
money for the sake of ay father's word," and clapped
his hand upon his heart. He said, to " It mast be'
your money." , I told him I had not any to signifyl
about me. He wanted to know what I had got. I
said 301. He said that would do:" I told him could
not part wit's that. lie said that I could go to the blank'
and get it if I liked. I said I could. - I went on to -the
bank and got five 101. notes. When I came,out Clarke
was in the middle of the road. I told him I could change'
the money then. We went to the inn again. Proctor
came in, but did not sit down.; The other 501. (eight 54,
notes and ten sovereigns) lay on the table. .laat down
with Clarke at my right band, and gave Clarke. the free
101. notes. Proctor kept shifting about.. He said "
order dinner; you shall have some with us." but instead
of doing that be took up the money and went away'
Clarke went out to a stable door and told the ostler-to
I,t me have the great bay horse. I knew nothing about
the horse. It had not been named before. i considered
there was something wrong, and I went to loolc, for
Proctor. Then r saw them both running away the back
way. I called out "Stop thief," but could not catch
them. I went ,to the Cross Keys. They had gone
that way.
The ostler of the Cross Keys proved that Clarke and
two other men had come there together, Clarke on horie-
back and the others. in a gig; and they went off in a
hurry.
The same men bad left a horse at the, Talbot Inn
which was afterwards sold by auction. It was worth
about 5/. ,
Mr. Flood, in his addres to the jury on behalf nf •the
prisoner, contended that the prisoner clearly had a bad
opinion of Proctor, and would not deal with him,' though
he would with Mr.'Preston. Mr. Prestbn had been im-
posed upon by Proctor, and what reason was there to
suppose that Clarke also bad not been 'imposed upon?

The jury found the prisoner Guilt.
The Learned JUDGE, in passing sentence., said that
until the recent change in the law, he would have been
liable to transportation;' and he certainly richly de-
served transportation. The law, however, did not per-
mit him to pass the sentence which the case des•rved;
and the sentence, therefore, was, that he be imprisoned
and kept to hard labour for two years.'
William Hunt was indicted for shooting at and
Wounding Hannah Hurst, his wife, with intent to murder
her, and also with intent to disfigure her, to disable her,
and to do her grievous bodily harm.
Sir J. E. VfxtmoT, after stating the case for the pro-
secution, called
_ _ _

Edward Moss, who said he was lodging at the Wag-
gon and Horses on the 'Bth of February. Showed the
prisoner the way to Burton's. The woman (Hannah
Hurst) came out of the street into the p.assage on her
way to her house. The gas was burning in the *sage.
The woman passed the prisoner on the right hand. He
put his hand on her shoulder. She turned round, and
he looked in her face. He said, "This ii tbo b-,"
stopped one step back, and fired a pistol immediately.
The witness did not see the pistol before, but saw it in
his hand when he fired. The explosion put out the gas.
The woman shrieked out very loudly, and fell. The
man ran into the street. _ _

Mr. Roberts, a tailor at Daventry, on the evening of
the Bth of February last was at a house near the Wag-
gon and Horses in that town. He heard the report of
a pistol and a shriek. He went out and followed a man
who was running, and overtook him. It was the pri-
soner. He said, "I am the man who shit the woman,
and she is my lawful wife." He was given into the
custody of the police, and went quite willingly.
Cross-examined—le appeared agitated.
Thomas Marriott, the constable of Daventry, received
the prisoner into his custody. Found upon him powder
and shot—large shot (No. 2). Said to hire, "My good
man, how came you to do so ?" He said, "I came on
purpose, and I hope I shall have a fair trial."
Edmund Osborne, a constable of Daventry, found
thirty-four shots in a door in the passage of the Waggon
and Horses.

Mr. Sharman, surgeon of Daventry, was called in to
Hannah Hurst, and found round shot wounds in her
arm and, the side of her head. They were dangerous
wounds. She is not out of danger yet. Her face was
blackened with powder., There were about twenty shots
in the head and twenty in the arm. Her life would be
in danger by. her coming bare to-day.
The examination of the prisoner's wife, taken before
the magistrates, was put in and read. It only stated, in
addition to the facts above proved, that she had left her
husband for sixteen weeks before the occurrense in ques-
tion; that the prisoner had asked her to return to him
and she had refused. _ _ _

Mr. O'BRIEN, in addressing the jury for the prisoner,
observed that the only question was, with what intent
the prisoner had committed the rash act which was the
subject of the present indictment? At the sight of the
woman, who had so deeply and irreparably wronged him,
it was not easy to conceive the degree of frenzy into
which a man might be wrought; but, looking at the cir-
cumstances of the case, they must consider whether his
intention was not to disfigure her or do some injury
to her short of killing her.
Many witnesses were called to speak to the peaceful
character and inoffensive disposition of the prisoner.
The Learned JUDGE summed up, and
The jury returned a verdict of Guilty upon the first
count.
Sentence of death was recorded.
(Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.)
Thomas Denny was indicted for maliciously ,shooting
at' Thomas Dunkley, on the 4th of August last.
The prosecution was conducted by Mr. Partridge; the
prisoner was undefended.

It appeared by the evidence that on the 4th of Aug.
the boy was employed to keep birds off the field in which
the prisoner was at work, and the boy stated that the
prisoner loaded the gun in the morning with some pieces
of load, and in the afternoon pointed the gun 'at him,
saying "I will shoot you." The ' boy told' him not to
do so, as the gun was loaded. The gun, however, went
off, and some 'of the contents lodged in the knee and
other parts of the boy's person, causing an injury from
which he had not yet recovered.
Mr. Justice COLERIDGE directed the jury to consider
whether or not the prisoner pointed the gun at the boy
with intent to shoot him, or whether it went off by acci-
dent. In the former case to convict, in the latter to
acquit him.
Mr. PARTRIDGE suggested that the jury should be told
ilso to consider (in the event of their being of opinion
that there was no malicious intent) whether or not the
prisoner had been guilty of a common assault, it having
been proved that the prisoner pointed the gun,k.aowing
it to be loaded.

The JUDGE declined to put the question, and
The jury found " that the prisoner fired the gun at the
boy, but without any malicious intent to shoot him."
Upon this finding a verdict of common assault was entered
by the direction of the Learned Judge.
Francis Wright, aged 43, a horse dealer, was indicted
for wounding Samuel Walton, with intent to do him
grievous bodily harm.
Mr. Flood prosecuted; Mr. O'Brien defended the pri-
soner.

It appeared that the prosecutor and prisoner met at
the Dolphin, at Oundle, on the 20th of February, on a
market day; two years before there had been a bet be-
tween them, and the prosecutor, on seeing the prisoner,
said, " You owe me half-a-dozen of wine." There was
no quarrel, but as the prosecutor was putting on his
great coat to go home, there being nobody else present
at the time, the prisoner struck the prosecutor with his
fist on the left side of the face. The prosecutor imme-
diately fell against the fender, upon which there was a
great quantity of blood. After the prosecutor was on
the ground and insensible, the prisoner kicked him in the
face. A surgeon was called in, leeches were applied,
and the prosecutor had been under medical treatment
ever since. One of the surgeons was inclined to think
that the principal hurt was occasioned by the fall upon
the fender, and the other that it was not.
The prisoner, when in custody, said to the consta-
ble, " They can only make me pay for it. I have paid
1001. for knocking live folks about; and I can pay
another." _ _ _

3:11*: O'BRIEN contended that there was no evidence of
qny intention to do grievous bodily harm, ,and that the
justice of the case would be satisfied by a conviction for
a common assault.

The Learned JUDGE summed up, and the jury found
the prisoner Guilty of the whole charged
The Learned JUDGE. in sentencing him to twelve
months' imprisonment, with hard labour, commented i❑
terms of great severity upon the brutal and unmanly
character of the assault.

SOUTH WALES ClRCUlT:—Swansea, March 1.
TRIAL OF LIEUTENANT ACKERLEY FOR MAN-
SLAUGHTER.—CharIes Henry Ackerley, a retired lieu-
tenant in the navy, and well known in London by hii
eccentric but philanthropic projects, was arraigned at
the bar, charged on the oath of Jenkin Aubrey, of
Aberdare, collier, and another, with having felon-
iously killed and slain one Matthew Tingle. He pleaded
not guilty.
Mr. Grove conducted the prosecution; the prisoner
defended himself.

The Learned COUNSEL briefly opened the case as fel-
lows:—The inquiry on -which the Court is about to
enter is, regard being had to the circumstances _of the
case, the prisoner at the bar being a gentleman by.
birth and education, one of a most painful nature. It
appears that on the 12th of December last the prisoner
went to Cwm Bach, in the Aberdare Valley, and
called at a house where lay one Matthew Tingle, a
collier, who had been recently burned. by an explo-
i sion in a coal-pit. He said he had hem' instructed to
treat the sufferer medically. At that time Tingle was
under the csre of the surgeon of the works.. 'The -
prisoner, on his representation that he Was authoirsed to
.treat the man, was admitted. He saw Mutate* Tingle
lying on a bed covered with plaster, which,' by his direc-
tions, was removed, in thia manner exposing the raw
surface of the bucks. Ile then moved; the arms,and legs
of the sufferer ) violently about. He placed, a lighted
lamp under the ) man's nostrils, and thrust a feather
down his throat. A short time afterwards the man died..
The surgeon who attended the deceased would show that
the latter had a chance of recovery but for this rude
treatment. No doubt the prisoner had no intention to
do harm; on the contrary, it might be presumed his
purpose was to do good; but if, acting Ignorantly, or by
gross negligence or misconduct, he accelerated the man's
death, as, according to the instructions of counsel, the
medical testimony would clearly show, then the law
held him guilty of manslaughter. If, however, the evi-
dence should not be sufficient to establish the crime of
manslaughter, then the jury might find the prisoner
guilty of an assault, as no doubt his Lordship would
fully explain to them.
Jenkin Aubrey—l am a collier. On the 12th of De-
cember last the deceased, Matthew Tingle, was burnt with
others by an explosion in Dyffryn colliery, Aberdare.
His arms and legs were badly burned. I waited on him,
and Mr.. Davies, the surgeon of the works, attended him
medically. I remember the prisoner Ackerley coming
there. He said, "I am a doctor from Lancashire, sent here
by Mr. Powell, the owner, and Mr. Oakley, the agent of
the colliery, to look over the men who are burned. He
came in and looked at the man. He then Went (nit; and
shortly returned with a lighted lamp. He asked for a
cloth or, something to
,throw over the man's. face.; a
' woman gave him her apron, which he placed over the
sick man's face, telling him to hold up his chin. and be
careful not to breath through his mouth. He then
placed the lamp under the apron alongside the mans
face, and told bim to breathe as fast as he could through
his nostrils, and to play his arms and legs about. The
man tried, but could not move his arms, and as be did
not move his legs fast enough, the
.prisoner told me to
move the legs, and I did so under his direction. I moved
the arms as well as the legs, exposing them naked to
the open air. The window was opened and the clothes
were removed by the prisoner's instructions. After a

To the prisoner—The man's face was covered all over
with plasters; he could not see out of his eyes. You
told me to remove the plasters, to give him room to
breathe, but there were none over the nostrils. The
plasters were taken off the man's eyes.
The Learned JUDO here interrupted the prisoner,
telling him that any material question he might have
omitted on cross-examination he might now put, but
he must not cross•examine in that manner.

To the Judge—Before the magistrate I said the man
seemed neither better nor worse for what was done to
him by the prisoner. That was a mistake. What I have
now said as to.his being worse is the fact. I cannot tell
how I made the mistake.

To Mr. Grove—What I said before the magistrate
applied to the condition of the man while the prisoner
was about him. He was then neither better nor worse,
though he himself said he was better, but afterwards he
became worse.

David Davies—l am a surgeon at Aberdare4 having
the medical duty at Mr. Powell's works. I attended the
deceased. He was burnt on Thursday, the 12th of De-
cember. I saw him on that day, and attended him
daily afterwards. He was severely burnt, but he had a
chance of recovery. I cannot say with certainty whether
he would recover or not. I put a plaster to keep the
wounds from the air. I consider the treatment of the
deceased by the prisoner very improper. The man was
not in a state to be a consenting party to anything. I
saw him an hour and a half before he died. He was
then dying. I have no hesitation in saying the treat-
ment he experienced by the prisoner, especially by the
exposing such an extent of raw surface to the action of
the atmosphere accelerated his death. The agitating
his limbs must have had a bad effect. I do not think
the lamp and pill could have had a 'oad effect.
To the Judge—l saw the man a very few minutes
alter the prisoner left the room. The plasters had
been removed, almost every one from the deceased's
body.
Cross-examined by the prisoner—Six days had
elapsed between the accident and the day in question.
I had not heard " the rattles." I heard no other
sound than that arising from bronchitis, under which
the man was suffering. Ido not recollect whether the
man's jaw was closed. He was very much exhausted.
When I entered the room, I saw such a flame es the one
you show me burning in a jug under the man's nose.
The man supporting it said he had held it so ever since
you left the room, which might be about five minutes.
That will no doubt accelerate the circulation of the
blood. It will " exhilarate" the action of the blood.
I admit that the term "Nature abhors a vacuum '' is
sometimes mado use of in the colleges. I gave the
deceased operative (that is purgative) medicine first,
and then I gave him medicine for the bronchitis. I am
not aware that it is " the atmospheric tonnage or pres-
sure of 160 tons on the human body which keeps the
men down in cases of explosions and burning by fire-
damp." I recognise that there is such a thing as atmo-
spheric pressure.
The prisoner (to the'Court)—l want to come to phi-
losophy.
Witness continued—l had not taken any means of re-
moving " the atmospheric tonnage" from the deceased's
body. I was not present when deceased made his will.
The prisoner (to the Judge)—My Lord, I have not only
to contend with the medical treatment, but to combat
the error in philosophy.
Witness continued—A man in the adjoining house,
burnt at the same time, is also dead. He was my patient.
The prisoner (to the Court)—That man's wife was
pregnant. She looked ghastly pale, having inhaled the
sulphurous gas frdm her husband, and I administered to
her the lamp with good effect.
Witness resumed—l recognise the principle that nature
abhors a vacuum.
The prisoner (to the Judge)—You hear that; it is im-
portant; on that principle I stand or fall.
Re-examined by Mr. GROVE—The noise in the man's
lungs was from bronchitis, not the noise of rattles pre-
ceding death. ,The secretion in the nose would prevent
the man's breathing freely. He would, therefore, breathe
through his mouth.
To the Judge—The man next door died from the
effects of a burn. The immediate cause of death in this
case was bronchitis. In my opinion, the atmosphere
acted on the burns, and through them on the nervous
system, and that action accelerated and promoted the
action of the bronchitis. I cannot say for certain that
the man would not have died from the burns, even if ha
had not had bronchitis. If a man is burnt severely, eee's
posure of his wounds will bring on bronchitis to a ceivtgiti
extent. It did so in the present case; the removal of the
plasters aggravated the complaint, and death ensued.
Exhaustion by Abscharges from his wounds, and 'not
bronchitis, occasioned the death of the other man.
The prisoner to the witness (through the Judge)—
Do you recognise that the skin called the periosteum
has a circulation of air between it and the bone, and
that butchers blow it up? Witness—l do not recognise
any such circulation of air.

Jenkin Aubrey recalled—The prisoner directed me to
remove all the plasters from the man's body, and I did-
so. It was after the removal of the plasters that the
deceased's legs and arms were movediabout. (To the
prisoner), "You told me to strip away the plasters and
throw them off; blood flowed on my doing this."
The prisoner (hurriedly to the Judge)—That is im-
portant; it shows the liquifaction of the blood. The
decaased, whenlie mado his will, did not complain of
ill-
treatment.

claiming my expenses, but they would not pay.
The 2d chapter of Genesis shows that the breath of
life is in the nostrils, therefore I introduce warm

they breathe cold air, the natural caustic of the
cold air injures the patient. I do not drink wine or

lieutenant in the navy, " one of the old school—not one
of the flinchers." He named the noble families through
which he had descended, including Prince Llewellyn and
Owen Tudor, and those to whom he is related, and con-
cluded with an earnest appeal to the jury to do him
justice.

Mr. Justice WILLIAMS summed up with great care,
directing the jury that it was sufficient to maintain the
indictment if it were made out to their satisfaction that
the deceased died earlier from the treatment he had re-
ceived than otherwise he would.
The jury, after ten minutes' consultation, returned a
verdict of Not Guilty. The finding was received with
loud applause, which was immediately suppressed.
The trial occupied the Court till seven last night.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MARLnOROUGII-STREET.
Mary Ann Parkes and Jane Lewis were brought be-
fore Mr. Bingham for final examination, charged with
having conspired with a person nut in custody to father
an illegitimate child en the Earl of Stamford and War-
ring ton.
The evidence in support of the charges was founded on
the testimony of Mary Mil, who gave such a contradic-
tion to the Etatements of the prisoners when they first
came forward, and two other witnesses recently brought
to town.

Mrs. Hill repeated the statements she had made on the
last occasion. The prisoners, Parkes and Lewis, took a
lodging at her honso on the 7th of December, 1849. The
tame night they went out and returned with a tall man
named Sheridan. Parkes said he was her husbat.d.
Sheridan confirmed the assertion. Witness saw Sheridan
in the ssme hed with Parkes that night, and also the
following night. On Wednesday the child was born.
Sheridan was on a sofa in the kitchen. Witness took
the child down to him, and he blessed it. The prisoner
Parkes had repeatedly told her she was married to
Sheridan. - The. woman Jane Lewis was present all the
time.

Sarah Elizabeth Dolman, Great Brickhill, Wolver-
hampton, said os the 10th of December she assisted at
the birth of a child, of which Mary Ann Parkes was the
mother. At that time Parkes went by the name of
Sheridan, and a man named Sheridan addressed her as
his wife. Jane Lewis also called them by the name of
Mr. and Mrs. Sheridan.
Mary Locksley, Zoar-strcet, Wolverhampton, said—
About the 30th cf October a tall man came to her
house, and hired an apartment for himself and wife. The . '
wife was Mary Ann Parkes. They lived in the room as
man and wife for about a fortnight. After they had
left, Jane Lewis took th© room. Two days after this
the man and woman returned and asked to• be received
back. They saw Jane Lewis, but all parties pretended
to be strangers to one another. Witness took them
back, and, after living about ten days more in the house,
the man and woman, Sheridan and Jane Lewis, left
together.

A gentleman applied for the magistrate's advice rela-
tive to the alleged misconduct of the conductor of an
omnibus towards his (the applicant's) wife.
The applicant stated that his wife was a passenger in
one of the omnibuses which run from the west-end of the
town to the railway station at the Bricklayers'-arms, in
the Kent-road, but finding she had no small -change
when they got into the Westminster-road, she handed
the conductor half-a-sovereign, the omnibus still going on
at the time, and when he examined the coin, instead of
her the change, he called out to the driver—" I
