Is right, if it were opened one day a week at a shilling admission,
an .l thrown open free the other five ; there would be thousands
prefer the shilling day, and the admittance would create ample
funds. There would be a consideration for the enjoyments of the
million in this project. and there should be no condition but cleanli-
ness and order to entitle any body to use it. As working men dress
now, nobody can object to their admission, since E. MOSES and SON
have reduced the price of clothing to meet the means of the poorest
class, every one can dress well. It is not merely the cheapness, but
the quality also, that enables the working man to dregs well. One

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

• INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, July 23.
(Before the CHIEF COMMISSIONER.)
IN RE CHARLES PEARCE.
This insolvent, a clerk in the Postage Stamp Depart-
ment of Somerset-house, petitioned under the Protec-
tion Act, and being in custody, now sought to be dis-
charged under the sixth section of the 7th and Bth Vic-
toria, chap. 96. Ho had but one creditor, a Mr. Harris,
the holder of a bill of exchange for 221., upon which
the insolvent's name appeared as indorser.
Mr. Dowse appeared for Mr. Harris to oppose the ap-
plication, and M r. Sargood supported.
The insolvent, upon being examined, said he had
never seen the bill upon which he had been sued until
it was shown him to-day. A person named Phillips
had called upon him, but had asked no questions about
the bill, nor shown it to him. He had a brother,
named Thomas Pearce, who was the acceptor, and first
heard of it when served with a writ at the suit of Mr.
Harris, when he (insolvent) told Phillips who served it
the endorsement was not his signature. lie gave the writ
to his brother, who said his (insolvent's) name was to the
bill without his sanction, and the action should be
settled. He never knew of any action being carried on
against him until he received a communication from
Mr. Norton, his brother's attorney.
Mr. SARGOOD then objected to the opposing counsel
going into the merits of the case on the present occa-
sion, and contended that the examination ought to be
confined simply to the question of jurisdiction and accu-
curacy of the schedule.
Mr. Dowss insisted that he had a right to show that
the insolvent was not entitled to have the protection of
the Court, and quoted a case decided by Mr.
.Commis-
sioner Phillips in support of his argument.
The CHIEF COMMISSIONER, after referring to "Macrae's
Practice of Insolvency," and communicating with Mr.
Comminissioner Law, said he should allow the exami-
nation to proceed.
The insolvent said he never authorised any person to
put his name to this or any bill.
Mr. Phillips, a clerk to Mr. Lawrence Levy, was
called, and swore that he saw the insolvent at Somerset-
house and showed him the bill, when he said the en-
dorsement was his handwriting.
Mr. E. L. Levy, the opposing creditor's attorney,
produced the proceedings in the action, to which a plea
was entered denying the endorsement; but subsequently
an admission of the handwriting was given by Mr.
Norton, the defendant's attorney.
Mr. Hill, the chief of the department in which the in-
solvent is employed, was called, and, upon being shown
the bill, said he did not believe the endorsement to be
the insolvent's.
The insolvent, in reply to the Court, said upon his
oath the signature was not in his writing. He never
authorised any attorney to plead, nor did he know of any
action being proceeded with against him by the plaintiff
until he was arrested for 431. 3s. 4d.
Mr. Norton, having been sent for by the direction of
the Court, said he was an attorney in Gray's Inn-square,
and acted for the insolvent in the action brought against
him by Mr. Harris. He gave a consent, admitting the
handwriting of Charles Pearce upon the bill. He re-
ceived his original instructions from Thomas Pearce,
who was sued upon the same bill, and who instructed
him to appear for himself and his brother (the insolvent).
It was upon Thomas Pearce's authority that he admitted
the insolvent's handwriting.
The CHIEF COMMISSIONER said ho had required Mr.
Norton to attend, for if what had been imputed to the
insolvent by the other side had been true he would be a
most worthless and profligate man; but, before arriving
at such a conclusion as that, evidence of tho most con-
firmatory character must be produced, and that had not
been done in this case ; consequently he should grant
the prayer of the insolvent and order his discharge. He
was bound to add, for the sake of the insolvent, that the
objections urged against him had utterly failed.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
HOME ClRCUlT.—Chelmsford, July 23.
CROWN COURT—(Before Lord Chief Justice JERVIS )
John Cornish, 29, labourer, Charles Eve, who surren-
dered to take his trial, Jesse Griffiths, 24, and George
Rowe, 32, were indicted—the two first-mentioned pri-
soners for stealing Bank of England notes and gold to
the amount of nearly 5001., the property of her Majesty;
Griffiths as an accessory before the fact to the commis-
sion of the felony; and Rowe with having feloniously
received the priperty,knowingit to have been stolen.

In other Counts of the indictment the offence was
charged in a different form, and the property was said
to belong to the principal officers of her Majesty's
Ordnance.
Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Bodkin conducted the case for
the Crown.

Mr. Ballantine defended Cornish; Mr. Parnell de-
fended Eve; and Mr. Hawkins was counsel for the other
two defendants.

A great many witnesses were examined for the prose-
cution in this case, and the trial occupied the greater
part of the day, but the nature of the charge will
be better understood by a narrative being given of
the facts than if the evidence of the witnesses were
reported in detail. The robbery in question was com-
mitted at the Government Gunpowder Manufactory
at Waltham Abbey, on the evening of the Bth of April,
and it appeared that two of the prisoners, Cornish
and Eve, had been employed about the establishment,
and were of course aware of the nature of the arrange-
ments connected with it. It would seem that it was the
custom at the end or the commencement of every month
for the principal storekeeper, Mr. Henry Topping, to be
in possession of a considerable sum in cash tor the pur-
pose of paying the wages and expenses connected with
the manufactory, and on the Bth April he had a sum of
nearly 5001., composed of 201. bank notes, sovereigns,
half-sovereigns, and silver, which ho placed in an iron
safe in his office and locked it up, and went away about
half-past seven in the evening. The next morning it
was tound that the office had been broken into, that the
iron safe had been forced by means of gunpowder, and
that the wole of the money tied been abstracted, and the
circumstances left no doubt whatever that the robbery
had been planned and carried into effect by some persons
connected with the establishment. Information was im-
mediately given to the police authorities, and Inspector
Lund, one of the detective police, was sent down to in-
vestigate the matter, and the result was that all the
prisoners were taken into custody and commit-
ted for trial; but the case appeared so slight
against Eve, that the magistrates allowed him to be
at large upon his own recognisances to appear and
take his trial. The evidence against the other pri-
soners was of this character:—lt appeared that about a
week after the robbery a man named Lane, who was '
also employed at the manufactory, went to the officer
and told him that he was at a public-house at Waltham,
called the Compasses, kept by the prisoner Rowe, shortly
after the robbery, and that he saw Grifiths there, and he
told him that Cornish and Eve had committed the rob-
bery, and that he had given Cornish a chisel for the
purpose of assisting to break open the office where the
money was kept. Lane also stated that after he had bad
this conversation with Griffiths, Rowe came up to him
and asked what Griffiths and him had been talking about,
and he then said that Cornish had promised to let him
have the notes, and that he was to go to London to get
them changed, and that ho should get 151. for each of
the 201. notes. He asked Rowe subsequently whether
he had got the notes, and he said he had not, and he
thought that Cornish was afraid that if he got them he
would stick to them; but he promised Lane that if he
did get them he should have his share. This witness
also stated that Rowe afterwards told him that Cornish
had given him the notes, and that he had been to London
and had changed two of them, and had received 301.
for them, which he said he intended to keep, and he
should return the remainder of the notes to Cornish.
Upon Eve being apprehended he was asked whether he
had received anything from Griffiths before the rob-
bery, and he said that Griffiths had given him a chisel,
but when he heard of the robbery he was frightened
and threw it into the river, and upon a search being
made a tool of that description was found in the bed of
the river. This was tile principal confirmatory act of
the statement of Lane with regard to the prisoners Eve
and Cornish, and it appeared that the statement was
not made by Lane until after a reward of ea had been
offered. With regard to the prisoner Rowe, it was
proved that upon the officer going to his house he found
him in a loft over the stable, and be took him into
custody and searched him, and found some notes and
other securities in his pocket, but nothing referring to
the present charge. The officer inquired whether he
had any more muney, and he said there was some in his
bed-room. He was then asked whether he had any
money in the loft, to which he replied it was not likely.
The officer was not satisfied with this answer, but pro-
ceeded to search the loft, and he discovered a tin canis-
ter, in which there was a bag containing a hundred
sovereigns and half-sovereigns, and upon his being
asked how the money came there, he said that he placed
it in the loft for safety, as an attempt had been
made to rob his house a short time before.
None of the notes were traced to the possession
of either of the prisoners, but the whole of them
had come into the Bank of England, and they appeared
to have been negotiated in France, and to have passed
through the bureaus of different money-changers. The
case against the prisoners, who were charged as prin-
cipals, it will be seen rested almost entirely en the evi-
dence cf Lane; and he was, of course, subjected to a
rigid cross-examination, in the course of which he made
many contradictory statements, and it was admitted by
the counsel for the prosecution that Lane stood almost in
the posttien of an accomplice in the affair.
At the close of the case for the prosecution,
The CEIEF JUSTICE expressed his opinion that there
was nothing to go to the jury against the prisoner Eve.
Mr. CLARKSON concurred in the opinion expressed by
his Lordship, and a verdict of Not Guilty was accord-
ingly taken for that prisoner.
The Learned Counsel for the other prisoners then

He was sentenced to be transported for ten years,

NORTHERN ClRCUlT—Cambridge, July. 22.
CROWN COURT.--(Before Mr. Justice CRESSWELL
Sarah Ann Roberts and Sarah Archer, two young
girls, were arraigned on the coroner's inquest, charging
them with aiding and abetting Anne Sutton to commit
suicide.

The prisoners having pleaded not guilty,
Mr. Couca stated that as the grand jury had thrown
out the bill for murder which had been sent up against
the prisoners, and all the facts had been laid before that
body, he, on the part of the prosecution, did not propose,
with the sanction of the Court, to offer any evidence
against them on the inquisition.
Mr. Justice CRESSWELL quite agreed with the pro-
priety of this course; and the jury having accordingly
returned a verdict of Not Guilty,
His LORDSHIP addressed the weeping prisoners in
most kind and yet solemn terms. They had, it seems,
united with the unfortunate girl whose death they had
been charged with compassing, in a common design to
commit suicide. She had fallen a victim to the poison
she had taken; but they had survived the portion which
they had swallowed. In joining thus to put an end to
their lives all three had committed a great offence, and
those who survived had not only the pang and anguish
of knowing that they had attempted the greatest pos-
sible offence in the eyes of God, but had thereby exposed
themselves to the risk and danger of being tried for the
murder of their companion. The jury had very properly
found them not guilty, under the circumstances; but
they ought to repent bitterly of their misconduct, and
determine to amend their lives for the future. For the
present they might be discharged.
The prisoners, who were deeply affected during the
address of the Learned Judge, each dropped a curtsey as
she quitted the dock to revisit and enjoy again the busy
scenes of a life from which, under a perfectly unaccount.
able impulse, they had formed the common purpose o
withdrawing for ever.

July 23.
(Before the LORD CHIEF BARON.)
Henry Winteringham, a member of the University, and
student of Corpus Christi College, was arraigned on an
indictment found at the last assizes, but traversed to the
present, charging him in one count with having assaulted
Elizabeth Parr on the 13th of March last, in Cambridge,
with intent to commit a rape; and in a second with
having committed a common assault on her.
Mr. Cooper appeared for the prosecution, and having
made a brief statement of the case proceeded to call the
several witnesses, whose evidence is subjoined.
Mr. Prendergast and Mr. Burcham defended the pri-
Boner, who presented the appearance of a handsome and
gentlemanlike young man, but somewhat more advanced
in life than most undergraduates.
Elizabeth Anne Parr—l am sixteen years old. My
mother is married to Mr. Miller, who keeps a lodging-
house in St. Andrew-street. I live in the family and do
the household work. On the 13th of March, about half-
past nine, I went out to do up the shutters of the lower
windows. As I was closing the shutters the prisoner
came up to me. He said something about going out. I
did not know what. I closed the shutters outside and
went into Mr. Hedley's room, which is on the ground-
floor. The door is one yard and a half inside the pas-
sage to the right. I went in to fasten the shutter
nearest towards the railway. As I was fastening it the
prisoner came in. I said, "Mr. Hedley will be in
directly—l expect him in directly." The door was
open then. I saw the prisoner now in court. I
know him, because I saw him by the gas-light. I
was going out, but he shut the door and bolted it. He
then caught hold of mu, and kissed me, and called me
a " little angel." He shoved me on to the sofa, which is
fronting to the door. (The witness here gave an ac•
count of the prisoner's treatment towards her, which we
refrain from publishing.) I shrieked out then, and when
he called mo a little angel I tried to fight at him. When
he shoved me on the sofa I shrieked out. He called me
" a little devil." That was because I kicked. He hurt
me very much. Just then the door-bell rang. He got
up directly, and I came out and met my mother at the
door. I did not speak to her then. I felt so excited I
could not. I told her afterwards, when she returned
from going after the prisoner. I told my mother what
had happened. I told her a gentleman had been detain-
ing me in Mr. Hedley's room. I did not say anything
more till I got into the kitchen. That was directly after.
I told her what the prisoner had done. I said he had
been taking liberties with me. Mr. Lestourgeon, the
surgeon, examined me the next day,

Cross-examined by Mr. PRENDERGAST—I have been
employed in waiting upon the lodgers; they are under
graduates. I wait on them. There: is a servant. I
wake them in the mornint,e.. Ido not go into their
rooms and shake them in their beds. Mr. Hall was a
lodger. He has left now. I never went into his bed-
room to wake him, and shake him is bed. I have only
been in to fetch his boots, which were just inside the
door. What the prisoner said to me; first was some-
thing about going out with him. I made no answer.
I did not tell him to go about his business. I made no
reply. I did not stop to talk to him. I went in, thinking
he was gone away. I saw him walk away. He must
have come back. I cannot imagine how he came to
follow me in. I thought when he clime in that he came
to see Mr. Hedley. When I told him that Mr. Hedley
would be in directly, he said "Who?" and then he
shut and bolted the door. I was trying to get out.
He sat down on a chair which was near the door. He
put his arms round my waist, and I strove to get out.
He pulled me on his lap. I was not there half a minute.
It was then he kissed me, and called me " a little angel."
I shrieked out, and then he shoved me on the sofa. He
lay on it. His legs were off, for the sofa was not long
enough, I knew all along that I fought him and kicked
him. I fought him on the breast. I observed the pat-
tern of the shirt. It was a white one with a little la-
vender flower on it. I saw it in the gas-light, which
was burning in the room fully. I described him so to
my mother. He only kissed me once. I was not more
than three minutes in the room with him. I am quite
well now, but am very nervous. I have not got
better since I was examined just now. None
of the young gentlemen ever took any liber-
ties with me. They never called me a little
angel or devil either. They never did so. I never took
any liberties with them. I never pulled their hair or
sat in their laps. I never did so since this affair. I have
not been in their rooms ever since. I know Mr. Not-
tidge, Mr. Safford, and Mr. Nix. I do Low remember
pulling his hair. I just touched it. I cannot exactly
say what brought me out then. I think it was because
be said to me, in Mr. Hall's room, "You go to the devil,
and when I come back I will bring you back flying." I
then just touched his hair. I never was on any man's
knees before or since. This affair of the prisoner hap-
pened on a Thursday. On Friday and Saturday I might
have laughed. I did not say on the Friday to Mr. Hall
that I should not have said anything about it if my
mother had not come. There is a bell near the sofa.
When the door bell rang he got up, and I got up too.
He jumped up directly. He said nothing. When he
pulled me on the chair I called out " Oh," so that my
mother should hear me. She did tear me, and sent out
the servant, thinking it was the children. I did call out
" Mother" then also. I called out so twice then. I
never mentioned this before. I was so ill I did not think
of it when I was first examined. Mr. Chalker lodged
up stairs in front, Mr. Hall in the back, Mr. Hedley in
front below, and Mr. Nottidge at the back below. Mr.
Nottidge and Mr. Hall each had a friend with him at
the time. Mr. Nottidge's friend went out while my father
was with the prisoner.
Re- examined—Mr. Hall never toDk a liberty with me.
Caroline Miller—l am mother of Elizabeth Parr by a
former husband. On the 13th of March I was sitting at
table, just having done supper, when my daughter went
out to do up Mr. Hedley's shutters. In two minutes
after a bell rang. Mr. Miller heard a noise which he
thought was the shrieking of children, and so did I. I
sent the servant up stairs to see if the children were
crying, and told her to see if my daughter had gone to
them. During the interval the bell rang again. I put
my infant down and went up to the passage. I met the
servant, and on her telling me something I rang the bell
up stairs violently, to make my daughter hear, because
the servant had not seen her, and she did not hear me
call her. As soon as the bell rang my daughter came
out of Mr. Hedley's room. I asked her where she
had been. She said nothing at first. I touched her
on the shoulder, .and then she said, " Oh, mother, a
gentleman in Mr. Hedley's room has been de-
taining me." This was said at the foot of the stairs
leading to the kitchen. I directly went into Mr.
Hedley's room. A gownsman stood with his gown
"
wrapped round his person, under the gas. I said, What
do you do here, sir? Wby hare you detained my child?'
He made no answer, and rushed out of the room. I
followed him into the street, and demanded his name
and college. He made no reply. He stayed a minute or
two on the kerb of the pavement, and I called to Miller
to come out. He came out, and said some one had been
insulting Betsy. I told a policeman near to take charge
of the gentleman. My husband demanded his name and
college twice, and asked what he had been doing in his
house. He said, " Nothing." I then called to the po-
liceman, and then the gentleman ran away, Miller fol-
lowing. The policeman did not run, because, as he said
afterwards, " He did not know what the charge was."
This witness was not cross-examined; but the pro-
secutrix being recalled, was asked when she first men-
tioned the kicking and fighting, to which she replied,
" I do not remember ; but I think I told my mother
of it."

James Miller—On the 13th March I had just finished
supper, and Betsy went out to fasten Mr. Hedley's shut-
ters. After she left, Mr. Nottidge's bell rang. Just
then I heard a noise like children. The bell rang twice,
and I told my wife to see where Betsy was. She sent
the maid, and afterwards she went up herself. The
maid came down, and afterwards I heard my wife call
out, " Miller, Miller, come here." I went up, and my
wife told me a gentleman had been detaining Betsy and
insulting her in the room. There he is. I went to the
prisoner and asked his name and college. He said no-
thing, and gathering up his gown ran away to Corpus
Christi College.
Cross-examined—I saw the policeman as I came back.
He asked me what was the matter. I said I could
scarcely tell what was the matter. I told him Mr. Hed-
ley had left his watch and valuables about the room, and
I could not tell what had been done till I got home. I
said so, because the gentleman would not tell me his
name or say what he had been about.
Mr. Osborne, the porter of Corpus Christi College,
was put into the box by Mr. Cooper, hut not examined
in chief.

Cross-examined—When I saw the prosecutrix the
next day she did not appear to be ill, and was very light
in her conduct. She said she was not so bad as they
thought she was. Mr. Winteringham is a very steady
young man.
Mr. Lesturgeon—l am a surgeon. I was called in on
the I4th to examine the prosecutrix. She appeared to
have been crying. The witness then detailed the con-
dition of the prosecutrix, which indicated that some
violence had been received. Her health was not injured.
It seemed to be a temporary excitement. I attended
her for five or six days regularly.
This being the case for the prosecution,
Mr. PRENDERGAST addressed the jury on behalf of
his client, contending that to any one at all acquainted
with the world, and especially the University, it must
appear a most preposterous and unfounded thing to
charge the transaction of this night in Mr. Hedley's
room as an attempt on the part of Mr. Winteringham to
commit a rape on the prosecutrix. The invitation "to
take a walk" was a❑ expression but too well known, he
should suppose, to girls in the position of the prosecu-
trix, to warrant her in supposing when she retired into
the room and the prisoner followed her that he really
wanted Mr. Hedley. The jury could not credit that part of
her story at all events, and if she must have suspected,
from her own knowledge of the world and a Cambridge life
what his real object was, she might very well have put an
end to it, if she had been so minded, by calling out to
her mother and step-father, who were within a few feet
of the door which she allowed the intruder to bolt.
Even when he took her by the waist, and sat on the
chair, she only faintly cried out "Oh 1" and did not re-
member calling for her mother till he (Mr. Prender-
gast) had suggested it to her. Under these circum—
stances, the real question, as he conceived, would be
whether the jury could, even on this evidence, convict
his client of an assault ; for if the girl by her faint de-
nials and conduct had in any manner given him to be-
lieve that his solicitations were not altogether unaccept-
able, then he would confidently say that he could not be
found guilty even of an assault. Without at all impung-
ing the actual purity of the prosecutrix, it could not be
denied that her life and duty in her father's establish-
ment were not the best calculated to preserve her from
moral taint. A young girl of sixteen was not the per-
son most proper to select as the personal attendant on
a house full of undergraduates ; and though Mrs.
Miller did seem from her account to have fallen in with
a most remarkably steady set of lodgers, for, with
the exception of Mr. Nix, who talked some nonsense
about " going to the devil and flying back again with
her," they might be better described as a company of un-
dertakers than undergraduates; still ho (Mr. Prender-
gast) could not but think that she must have run great
risk in discharging the duties so entrusted to her. The
jury would, on a calm review of the whole case, say, he
hoped, that there was no case even on the second count,
and acquit the prisoner, whose prospects in life and pro-
fessional career might be blighted by any other result,
while a verdict of not guilty would not attach any dis-
credit to the girl.
The CHIEF BARON, in summing up the case, left it to
the jury to say whether either, and if either which, of the
two counts had been proved. As to the first he
might remark that it was rather a strange thing that
no one else had been called than members of the
family, whereas the house appeared full of lodgers.
It would, therefore, be a grave question for the jury
whether the prisoner could have gone into that room
with the intention of committing a rape on a girl
whom ho had never seen before, and under circum-
stances so likely to lead to immediate interruption and
detection if he met with any real resistance? It did,
therefore, seem very improbable indeed that the prisoner
could have entertained any such design; but that was
for the jury to decide. On the other hand, it ap-
peared that all the facts in the case which militated
against the prisoner's intention to commit a rape on
the prosecutrix applied with equal force on her behalf
when the jury came to consider whether she was a con-
senting party to such a degree even as would warrant
the prisoner in supposing that by perseverance he should
attain his object with her concurrence. He was bound
to say that it was quite as unlikely that she who was
so young, and who was admittedly pure in person, and
who had so recently left her parents, almost in an ad-
joining apartment, should consent to the approaches of
a perfect stranger in a room the occupier of which
might at any moment come in, and whose return indeed
the evidence showed that she expected. The jury would
weigh all these considerations when determining whether
their verdict should be one of guilty or not guilty on the
last count.

The jury retired for about an hour, and then, being
still at variance, came into court, when his Lordship
again briefly addressed them, as the foreman said that
ten were one way, and two the other.

The CHIEF BARON said he did not wish to inquire
into their divisions, but would thank them to consider

.heir 'verdict.

The jury turned round again, and after a warm de-
bate, the foreman announced their verdict to be, Guilty
on the second count of a❑ aggravated assault.
The Chief Baron than, having consulted Mr. Justice
Cresswell in the adjoining court, was about to pass sen-
tence on the prisoner, when

Mr. COOPER stated that he was requested by the father
of the prosecutrix to recommend the prisoner to mercy.
As the character of his daughter was established, he had
no object in wishing that the misconduct of the young
man should be severely punished.
The CHIEF BARON then, addressing the prisoner, ex-
pressed his entire concurrence with the decision of the
jury. Looking at the facts of the case, it was impossible
to come to the conclusion that the prisoner cont,•mplated
the perpetration of the offence charged in the first count;
and it was equally impossible to say that the girl gave
her consent to his attack on her, which was certainly
indicative of a most loose moral condition of mind
on his part. It was the province of the law to visit
offences with punishments adequate to their cha-
racter ; but it was impossible to pass over in
silence the profligacy of the prisoner's conduct in thus
assailing a perfect stranger, from whom he had not re-
ceived any provocation or assent such as to warrant his
treatment of her. It was clear that he went into that
house to take his chancc of meeting with some profli-
gate partner in his licentiousness, and that finding him-
self iu the company of a young and inexperienced girl
ho thought to prevail on her to gratify his passion. Ile
then attacked her, and when the bell racg retired as if
conscious of having done a moral wrong—but not as if
conscious of having attempted a rape. Under these cir-
cumstances, the jury having found him guilty of an as-
sault, and the prosecutrix and her friends having recom-
mended him to mercy in a manner which induced him
(the Chief Baron) to believe that they were honest and
sincere, and that they agreed in the view taken of the
case by the jury, that recommendation would undoubt-
edly be taken into consideration in the sentence about to
be passed on him, and which, but for that recommenda-
tion, would certainly have been of a far severer nature;
at the same time it was due to public justice and the
morals of this university to mark his case with severe
reprehension. It was imposssible not to reprobate the
state of morals of ono who could conduct himself as the
prisoner had done. Under all the circumstances of the
case, the sentence of the Court was that the prisoner
should bo confined in the borough gaol for three calendar
months.

(Before Mr. Justice CRESWELL.)
CHARGE OF MURDER.

Sarah Ann Overment, aged-18,Q indicted for the
wilful murder of Mary Ann Dearlove, by the adminis-
tration of arsenic, at Leverington, on the 13th day of
March last.

Mr. Couch was counsel for the prosecution; Mr. Nay-
lor defended the prisoner.
It appeared from the opening statement and the evi-
dence of several witnesses called in support of the
charge, that the prisoner was, together with another
young woman, in the service of a Mrs. Dearlove, the wife
of a farmer, at Leverington, in the Isle of Ely, and that
on the day in question Mrs. Dearlove made two pud-
dings—the one which was to be boiled being intended
for herself, and the other, which was to be baked, being
meant for the servants. With the parlour pudding some
potatoes were boiled, of which, as well as of their own
pudding, the servants, including the prisoner, partook,
while their mistress ate her own pudding. Mrs. Dear-
love took only two or three mouthfuls of her pudding,
and was immediately attacked with all the symptoms
attendant upon the administration of arsenic in very
large quantities, while the prisoner, and one of
the farming men who had eaten the potatoes, were seized
with nausea and sickness at the stomach. These latter
soon recovered, but their mistress sank under the poison
and died very shortly. In order to bring home the
charge to the prisoner it was shown that her mistress
had, on the day before her death, found her in bed
rather late, and had given her what schoolboys call a
" cold pig," which treatment very much annoyed the
prisoner—a feeling which was not soothed when, in the
afternoon, she was jeered by her male fellow-servants,
and asked whether she liked,her " baptism?"—an obser-
vation which brought forth a threat from her that
"she would serve out her mistress." Beyond this there
was no reason to impute to the prisoner a motive for the
crime. It further appeared that Mr. Dearlove had quan-
tities of arsenic in his granary, and that in January last
it seemed to have been disturbed, while in the cupboard
in the kitchen where Mrs. Dearlove kept her flour were
found some other liquid poison.
Mr. NAYLOR contended that the case was too weak
to warrant a charge against his client; and so thought
the jury, who eventually returned a verdict of Not
Guilty.
This was the last case for the assizes.

Marion Johnson, the young female who was charged
at this court on Saturday last with attempting to commit

she had attempted the same thing on two previous
occasion. A
years ago she jumped off Black-
the small bone of her leg. She was taken to St. Bartho-
lomew's Hospital, and on being discharged from that in-
stitution she went direct to the bridge and plunged into
the water again, but that time it was only from the steps
and she was quickly rescued. Alderman Johnson, be-
fore whom she was taken, dismissed her on promising to
enter an asylum at Hammersmith, but on gaining her
liberty she refused to fulfil her promise. On a subse-
quent occasion she appeared at this court, and excited
the sympathy of the magistrates on behalf of one of the
most deplorable specimens of human wretchedness
and poverty ever beheld, even in e police-court.
She seemed to be so much interested in the
poor creature's position that the magistrate could
not refrain from commending prisoner's conduct,
and in order to relieve the pressing necessities of
the unfortunate creature she had introduced, he ordered
half-a-crown to be given from the poor-box to the object
of her commiseration. On the following day it was as-
certained that the prisoner had pocketed the half-crown
and left her protege to starve in the streets, from whence
she had picked her up in the first instance. Her own
husband informed the officers that she had been drunk
for the last fourteen days previous to the attempt upon her
life that she was now charged with; that in consequence
of her disorderly conduct and intemperate habits, the
whole of her family had discarded her.
Sir C. MARSHALL said he thought this a fit case to
send to the Old Bailey, and he would therefore commit
the prisoner for trial.—Committed accordingly.
CLERKEN WELL.
ILL-TREATMENT OF A CHILD EY A PRIEST.—The Rev.
W. Weak, priest and schoolmaster of an establishment
connected with the Roman Catholic church, Duncan-
terrace, Islington, was charged with ill-treament to John
Farrell, aged six, whose parents reside at No. 4, Elder-
walk, in that parish.
The inquiry occasioned much interest and a painful
sensation, the child's person being lacerated and black-
ened in a most shocking manner. Many respectable
tradesmen, who have frequently heard the screams of dif-
ferent pupils under the defendant, attended to give evi-
dence of that fact.

The poor little fellow, having given satisfactory an-
swers as to the nature of an oath, was sworn, and stated
that at four o'clock in the afternoon, after all the scho-
lars, with the exception of three of the elder ones, had
been sent home, the defendant seized him and flogged
him with a gutta percha whip on his legs, thighs, and
other parts of his person, for a considerable time. He
could not say how many blows were inflicted, but he
could swear that there were more than twenty. He had
not been a naughty boy on that day. The " father"
(defendant) told him that the punishment was through
having absented himself from school on Sunday. The
cries of witness brought Mr. Hinchley, greengrocer, of
the Liverpool-road, and others, to the place, and they
took care of him and gave the prisoner into the custody
of Sergeant Beckley, 12 N.
Mr. Hinchley said he had very often heard groans,
cries, and blows, in defendant's school, where a discip-
line most harsh and cruel was practised. The complain-
ant was in a fainting state when he first saw him, and
blood was streaming from his person.
The complainant's mother stood forward, and said she
had no desire to have the defendant fined or otherwise
injured.
Mr. COMBE had the poor child's person exposed. It
was an awful and harrowing sight. He asked her if she
sanctioned a beating to that extent? She replied—l
see he has been very much beat, but I do not want to
punish the gentleman, because he had my authority.
Mr. COMBE—Very motherly, certainly, to permit
such barbarity. (To the defendant)—What have you
to say? Defendant answered that the boy was generally
badly disposed, and on the day that he had beat him
had stolen a paint brush and been guilty of lying. For
those offences, and absenting himself from his catechism
class on the Sabbath, he inflicted the punishment, which
he regretted to say was done when he was in a bad
temper.
Mr. COMBE was aware that noblemen's sons as well
as others were severely flogged in schools, but parents
were not even allowed to flog their children to an ex-
cess, and therefore could not depute another to do so.
No act which a child of so tender an age could have
done would have justified the accused in such harsh
treatment.

Defendant observed that he deeply regretted the un-
happy occurrence, and must candidly admit that the
punishment was too severe.

Mr. COMBE said the unfeeling mother thought little
of the affair, and he should adjourn the case for the
attendance of the child's father and the production of
the instrument with which the complainant was tor-
mented, and any witnesses the defendant thought proper
to produce. _ _ _

In the course of a few hours the investigation was re-
sumed, when the worthy magistrate inquired it the lad's
father objected to such severity as that exhibited on his
chila's person? Father—An' faith an' sure I don't wish
to hurt the good gentleman.—(Groans and hisses.)
Mr. ComnE—Then I can tell you and your wife that
you are both brutes (handing him the whip, a very large
one, with a brass ferule in the middle). flow should you
like a blow over the lace with this? Father—Oh not at
all, yer Wortchip.
Mr. llinchley said he woull endeavour to prevail on
the Islington guardians to take up the matter, and wish-
ing that such a proceeding would be adopted.
Mr. COMBE held the defendant in his own recogni-
nnce to appear at the next session to answer any charge
thtil may be preferred against him.
EXTENSIVE PLUNDER OF GUANO, THE PROPERTY
OP THE PERUVIAN GOVERNMENT.-IMPORTANT CASE.
—Philip Long, described in the sheet as a lighterman, 35
years qi age, residing at 4, Broadway, Southwark, was
charged with stealing 220 bags, containing 14 tons 16
cwt. 1 qr. and 1 lb. of guano, value upwards of 2001.;
and Thomas Pickering, 30, described as a merchant,
Union-wharf, Limehouse, was charged with receiving the
same knowing it to be stolen.
Mr. nobler (accompanied by Mr. Ruckee, clerk to
Messrs. Anthony Gibbs and Son, of Bishopsgate-street,
the agents for the Peruvian Government, and several
other gentlemen) appeared for the prosecution, and Mr.
Pelham for the defence.

Mr. Hobler, in opening the case, said that owing to
some of his witnesses being in the country he should not
be able to complete the evidence, but would lay before
his Worship such facts as he hoped would entitle him to
a remand for a future day.
The case was remanded for a week; bail to be accepted.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
GOODWOOD RACES.

If at the ensuing meeting, as at many that have pre-
ceded it this season, the fields fall short of some of the
prineipal events, and that such will be the case is more
than probable, there is no reason to fear that there will
be any decline in the character of the sport; that there
will be no lack of it we gather from the length of the
programme in the Sheet Calendars, extending to up-
wards of four columns, irrespective of the plates, &c.,
to close in the course of the week. The meeting com-
mences on Tuesday next, with five stakes already closed ,
the Craven Stakes and a couple of plates. The stand-
ing engagements are the Ham Stakes of 100 soya. each,
h ft, for two yrs old, with twenty-nine nominations, a
perfectly open race; the Gratwicke Stakes of 100 sti'vs.
each, h ft, for three yrs old, thirty-seven nominations,
Hernandez the favourite, at odds against the " field,"
which is represented, however, by Miserrims, said
to be a certain starter ; the 300 Sovs. Stakes, h ft,
for four yrs old, with five nominations, but re-
duced to a match between Nutshell and William
the Conqueror, and, as the second saves his stake, al-
most certain to produce a contest; the Levant Stakes of
50 sovs. each, h ft, for two yrs old, with 21 nominations,
like the Ham Stakes, a very " dark" affair, but from
the sprit with which the Goodwood horses have been
backed for the Derby, looked upon as next door to a
certainty for either Homebrewed, Maidstone, or Houle-
kin, and a sweepstakes of 50 soya. each, for which
Ariosto has only Kakistos and Midas to best.
On Wednesday there is a prospect of nine races, in-
cluding the Steward's Cup, and four others yet to be
named for. The great event of the day will be the
Goodwood Stakes, for which 41 stand out of an entry
of 116, but not above fifteen or sixteen, at the outside,
expected to run. The Drawing-Room Stakes, of 25
soya. each, has 17 nominations, but seems to be left to
Hesse Homburgb, Midas, and Mountain Deer. A
sweepstakes of 300 soya. each, h ft for fillies, looks like a
certainty for Anspach, as a similar stake for colts is for
Hernandez.
