THE DETECTIVES IN SEARCH OF A
FATHER

Some curious circumstances have come to our
knowledge during the past week, arising out of a
case of affiliation brought before the magistrates a
few months since. It appears that the gentleman who
then had paternal honours thrust upon him has been
very irregular in making the payments ordered by the
justices for the maintenance of his child, and was in
arrears for about six weeks' pay ; and at the request
of the party to whom he was indebted a sum-
mons was granted against him " to show cause why
he refused to contribute towards the support of his
illegitimate child." The document was in dne course
served on the putative father, who, by the bye, from
the frequency of his carriage drives is well known in
this city : he does not reside very far from Thomas-
street, and, for the sake of distinction, we will call
him Mr. S—. No notice, however, was taken of
the summons ; and, in a conversation relating to
the matter, the gentleman was heard to assert, in re-
ference to the authorities, that " he was sure he should
be able to do them." But the administrators of jus-
tice were determined not to be " done" so easily as
he imagined, and forthwith issued a warrant for
bringing Mr. 5 before them. The officer, to whom
the commission of apprehending the delinquent was
entrusted, knew, we suspect, he had a " sharp 'un" to
deal with, and inwardly resolved not to be "sold" in
such an easy manner as Mr. S— was accus-
tomed to dispose of the quadrupeds in which he
dealt. The keen official (we are sorry we
cannot give his name) accordingly took
with him three picked men, of the same " staff" as
himself—men whose intellects he considered to be quite
as "'cute" as his own, and whose perception he believed
to be equally as great ; and after the preliminaries
had been arranged, the " officer in command" and
another constable, clad in plain clothes, accompanied
by the remaining two arrayed in her Majesty's uni-
form, proceeded to the residence of the party in clues.
tion, when the two gentlemen, having given a polite
knock, stated that they " wanted" Mr. S—. That
individual, who at the time was about to sit down to
a comfortable dinner, happening to catch a glimpse
of the personages by whom he was " wanted," imme-
diately guessed the purport of their trick, and without
even giving orders to keep his dinner warm, sprang
from the table. But where could he hide himself ?
There was no room in the cellar, as a fresh supply
of coal had been deposited there the previous day ;
he could not obtain access to his stables, for they
were detached from his abode. In this dilemma
he darted up stairs, and the detectives, having
left their companions as a guard below, proceeded
after the fugitive, making quite sure of his apprehen-
sion. But disappointment awaited them. After
searching each room in succession, but with no suc-
cess, they reached a garret, the open window of which
plainly told which way the bird had flown ; and, on
looking out, they perceived Mr. s—, a few yards
off, surveying them with a catch-me-if-you can kind
of countenance. The detectives, however, were not to
be discouraged; they no sooner caught sight of him
than out they " bolted," and a regular chase ensued
over several houses ; but Mr. S—, being well ac-
quainted with the road, was soon lost to view. A
crowd had by this time collected, attracted by the
novelty of the affair ; and as the officers approached
and inspected the chimney-stacks and other probable
places of concealment they were assailed with various
jokes. " He's behind that 'ere chimney !" cried one
fellow ; " Ha'n't 'e got 'un yet ?" inquired another ;
" Make haste and bring 'un down !" shouted
a third; while a fourth suggested that they had
better " wait a little longer," which advice the de-
tectives were fain to take, as they were convinced
that Mr. S— had not reached terra firma, and
being, doubtless, in hopes that he would soon make
his appearance, and that they should then pounce
upon and secure him. Accordingly they sat " like
patience on a monument" for upwards of three hours,
when some slight disturbance took place in Thomas-
street, a few yards off, which attracted the attention
of the crowd. Seeing them depart, and a cry having
been raised that "the chap was getting off the
roof," the two detectives descended, and with their
brother constables scampered after the mob. They
soon discovered that they had been most grievously
" sold ;" they had come to witness some manoeuvres
of a pig " that wouldn't go," and thus left the coast
clear for Mr. S—, who, it is almost needless to
add, took advantage of the opportunity and
escaped. The officers departed quite chop-
fallen amidst the jeers of those assembled, but Mr.
now boasts of the fun he enjoyed. ' He has
since discharged all arrears; and we hear—hut do not
vouch for the truth of it—that his pursuers are to hear
further of the damage they caused to the roofs of the
houses over which they passed.—Bristol Mirror.

TRIAL OF W. HENDERSON, SEAMAN OF
THE BARQUE MARY RAY, FOR MURDER.
(From the Penang Gazette, June 21.)

O❑ Wednesday last the court was occupied with
the trial, which lasted upwards of four hours, of W.
Henderson, a seaman lately belonging to the barque
MAry Ray, Ellwood, master, of Liverpool, who was
arraigned for the wilful murder of his shipmate, John
Murray, on the high seas, on the morning of the 6th
of May. We give a brief outline of the facts
as they transpired during the trial. On the morn-
ing of May 6 the deceased, John Murray, was
relieved at the wheel, and land being in sight at the
time, he said generally, " That is Plantain Island."
Prisoner said, " I believe you know nothing about it,"

Murray then replied, "I am not alluding to you,
mind your own business." This was followed by several
angry recriminations on both sides, ended finally in
a scuffle, and Henderson striking the deceased with
his open hand on the face. Henderson then
went to wash his blankets, and Murray went aft to
the quarter-deck to complai❑ to the chief officer; ou
his return be sat down at the windlass with a shut
knife in his hand; Henderson was still washing his
clothes, and was about seven paces from the windlass.
Some aggravating words again took place between
them, and Murray said to Henderson, " I will scatter
your brains about the deck," After Henderson saw that
Murray had the knife in his hand, he rushed into the
galley, and said to the deceased, " If that is knifing
duel I can use one too," and returned from the galley
with an open one. Murray was still sitting on the
windlass, and Henderson laid the knife down on the
hogstye in front of the galley. Murray then made a
rush towards Henderson, and a scuffle ensued. A
scream was beard from Murray, followed by his
saying to Mr. Ellwood, " Oh, sir, I am stabbed to the
heart;" he then dropped down and expired within one
minute and a half after. Deceased was wounded right
in the centre of the breast; and also across the ribs
on the right side. Prisoner had two wounds on his
right arm. During his examination Mr. Ellwood
stated to the Court that he must attribute the tragic
end of the quarrel to the highly reprehensible con-
duct of his chief officer, who, had be adopted pre-
cautionary measures at the onset, would have saved
the life of his fellow-creature. This remark met
with the entire approval of his Lordship,
who admitted that the observation was a
very just and proper one. The Learned Re-
corder animadverted in very severe terms upon the
chief officer's behaviour, remarking that it was quite
apparent that there was a great dereliction of duty on
his part, in not having used his interference in the
matter, when the deceased applied to him, in the first
instance, for redress. The answer he made, when ap-
pealed to by the deceased, " that as he had separated
them once, he will not do so a second time, and that
they must fight it out the best way they can," clearly
evinced not only a want of that manly spirit
which ought to be expected from him as the chief
officer of a vessel, but also that he was totally un-
mindful of the interests of his employers. He, by
whom the master and crew must always expect that,
by his supervision, the proper discipline of the ship
would be maintained and strictly enforced, has now
proved totally worthless of his trust; and his Lord-
ship regretted to perceive that he was so utterly
careless and regardless of his duty, as the pro-
ceedings on the trial abundantly testifies. The
prisoner made a straightforward defence, and
added that had the chief officer interfered at
the commencement of the contest, this sad transac-
tion would never have occurred. His Lordship then
summed up ; after which the jury retired for nearly
a quarter of an hour, and returned into court, bring-
ing in a verdict of " Not Guilty of murder, but
Guilty of manslaughter." The prisoner prayed for
the merciful coesideration of the court, saying he had
a wife and two infant children. His Lordship, in
passing sentence, again censured the proceedings of
the chief officer, and sentenced the prisoner to
eighteen months' imprisonment in her Majesty's gaol.

SAYINGS AND DOINGS OF A SUNDER_
LAND ATTORNEY'S CLERK.
(From the Sunderland News.)
JANE ANNE MARTIN V. HENRY TREIIWIT HATERS.
This case was a demand for an order of affiliation,
but from the extraordinary documents produced in
evidence we are induced to give it somewhat at
length, leaving out, however, everything of an indeli-
cate character. Mr. Ranson, solicitor, appeared for
the complainant, and Mr. J. M. Cooper, solicitor, for
the defendant. Mr. Ranson stated the case. The
complainant is the daughter of respectable parents in
Sunderland, and the defendant is an embryo lawyer,
having studied some time under a Sunderland
attorney, and is now in London. In October last
year he became acquainted with the complainant,
and shortly after they began to associate with each
other he succeeded in seducing her. When com-
plainant found herself in a delicate position, she en-
deavoured to induce him to marry her, but he said he
had been so extravagant he could not raise the means,
but he would, perhaps, sell his watch to get the money.
Soon afterwards, however, he left for London, and
from there she received a letter from him which will
appear a little further on. When he first became ac-
quainted with her he was the most attentive lover
Sunderland ever saw. On seeing her for the first
time he was so smitten with her charms, that he im-
mediately penned the following poetical effusion :
'Tis no kiss my fair bestows,
Nectar 'tis whence new life flows:
All the sweets which nimble bees,
In their osier treasuries,
With unequalled art repose,
In one kiss her lips disclose.
With kisses, then, be lavish, fair,
Nor such heavenly pleasures share.
The next document which I will produce, continued
Mr. Ranson, is not quite so poetical, but it is certainly
a more lawyer-like one. Afraid of a rival, defendant
draws up the following very legal document, which
he gets complainant to sign. It is this :—" I hereby
solemnly declare that I will not on any pretence
whatsoever, or on any occasion, whether it be during
the day lime, or during the night time, walk with any
one except Henry Tre whit Naters, unless the said
Henry Tre whit Naters gives me leave to do so, or act
in such a manner towards me that I think myself
justifiable in doing so. (Signed) J. A. MARTIN.
Stinderland, Nov. 6, 1850." A month after this grave
protocol had been duly ratified, came the following
poetical lucubration :
Why hangs that cloud upon thy brow—
That beauteous heaven, erewhile serene ?
Whence do these storms and tempests flow ?
What may this gust of humour mean ?
And must, then, Henry, lose the light
Which in thine eyes was wont to shin?,
And lie obscure in endless night
For each poor silly speech of mine P
Dear maid, bow can I wrong thy name,
Since 'tis acknowledged at all hands,
That could ill tongues abuse thy fame
Thy beauty could make large amends P
Or, if I durst profanely try
Thy beauty's powerful charm t' upbraid,
Thy virtue well might give the lie,
Nor call thy beauty to its aid.
For Venus, every heart t' ensnare,
With all her charms has decked tby face;
And Pallas with unusual care
Bids wisdom heighten every grace.
Who can the double pain endure,
Or who must not resign the field
To thee, celestial maid, secure
With Cupid's bow and Pallas' shield!
If then to thee such power is given,
Let not a wretch in torment live;
But smile, and learn to copy heaven,
Since we must sin ere it forgive.
Yet pitying heaven not only does
Forgive the offender and the offence,
But even itself, appeased, bestows
As the reward of penitence.
On the 7th of December the defendant thus wrote
to the plaintiff:—
" Dearest Jane Anne,—l think it will be best if I meet
you on Sunday evening at the end of Cousin-street, as I
do not like the idea of seeing me at the church
door. In haste.
" Dearest Jane Ann, yours most sincerely,
" HENRY."
Then on the 23d of the same month he wrote to
her as follows :
"My dearest Jane Anne,—l regret deeply to state
that in consequence of being compelled to stay at San-
dyford during the week, I shall be prevented the very
great pleasure of seeing you. For Heaven's sake think
of me, and do not walk with a certain person.
" Yours most sincerely,
" HENRY."

On the 10th December, when be was a week from
home, he penned another most affectionate letter to
her. I have often heard, said Mr. Ranson, that
" absence makes the heart grow fonder," and here

it is:—
"Dearest Jane Anne,-1 expect to be in Sunderland
on Thursday morning, when I shall do myself the great
pleasure of giving you a call at the back door about ten
o'clock. Mind you do not disappoint me, as it seems an
age since I saw you. I have had such queer dreams
about you, which I will toll you when we meet. It will
be some time before Igo away again for a week. The
time has passed away very slowly. I remain, dearest
Jane Anne, yours most truly, "HENRY."
On the 3d of January, 1851, he wrote the follow-
ing unmistakeable letter :
" Dearest Jane Anne,--I have witten to B. to-night,
and asked him if he went to the point with you, which
means if ho has popped the question. I have told him
to keep out of the way, as I have a poor chance when ho
presents himself, and that I am at present cast quite in
the shade. Try and meet him on Sunday afternoon, and
get out of him slily what I have said to him. I think I
have told you the principal part. Ido not like the idea
of your walking at night with him; but if you think you
cannot see him on Sunday, try and meet him to-morrow
in the streets, but not in the country.
" I am, dearest Jane Anne, yours most truly,
" HENRY."
Now comes the " unkindest cut of all." De-
fendant subsequently went to London, where the
young woman had written him a number of letters,
apprising him of the fact of his having become a
father, without receiving any answer. She at length
got the following chilling epistle, dated the Ist of
August :
" Miss J. A. Martin: Madam,—All letters that I
shall henceforth receive from you shall be returned un-
opened. If you wish to know my intentions, I refer
you to my solicitor, Mr. J. M. Cooper, Iligh-street, Sun-
derland.—l am, Madam, yours obediently,
"H. T. NATERB."
One of the Magistrates—That is assuredly cool
This, continued Mr. Ranson, is my client's case.
Here is a young woman, of only eighteen years,
made the victim of a seducer, and ruined for life, and
I hope the Bench will grant the full compensation
which the law glom

FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 12, 1851

Mr. Simpson—l only wish we had the power to
grant more.

The complainant, a good-looking woman, was then
sworn, and stated that she had been acquainted with
the defendant in October of last year, but that he had
no sooner effected her ruin than he " turned tails" on
her. About Christmas, when she told him of her
state, he said he could not help it, and could not
marry her then, but he would sell his watch to do so.
She never walked with any other gentleman but de-
fendant. The reason why he made her sign the do-
cument put in in evidence was because he was afraid
that his rival would take her from him. Defendant
persuaded her to go to his lodgings on the pretence of
teaching her to play at cards, when he locked the door
and effected her ruin. She denied ever walking with
Lieutenant Caslet, or any of the officers in the
barracks.

Two or three witnesses were next called, and
afterwards Mr. Cooper addressed the Bench for the
defence, when an order was made on Naters for 2s. 6d.
a week.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
LAMBETH.

Yesterday Robert Turner appeared before Mr.
Elliott to answer to a summons charging him with
assaulting Thomas Huntley.
The complainant stated that on Saturday last the
defendant, after keeping his wife from her home for
two whole nights and days, came to his house and
acknowledged, even in the presence of her children,
that he had carried on an adulterous correspondence
with her for six years past. This disclosure of course
exasperated him, and at the moment he was so excited
that he struck at his wife, upon which the defendant
gave him a violent blow on the left eye and walked
away with his wife.

The complainant called as a witness his own child,
a girl of ten years of age, who said she heard the whole
of the disgusting abuse between the parties, and saw
the defendant strike her father in the eye.
The defendant, in reply to the charge, said that the
complainant had agreed, in the presence of witnesses
whom he could produce, to sell him his wife for a pot
of beer ; and, taking him at his word, he cried,
"done," and they had the pot of beer together, after
which Mrs. Huntley, of course (as he expressed it),
left her husband and went with him.

Mrs. Huntley, who stood behind the defendant,
and whom, up to this time it was found difficult to
restrain from interrupting the proceedings, here burst
forth and declared the statement of the defendant was
perfectly true. Her husband, she said, had regularly
disposed of her, and therefore she was not going to
have anything more to say to him.
Mr. ELLIOTT remarked that a more disgusting or
profligate case, or one more disgraceful to the whole
of the parties concerned in it, had never come before
him. The defendant had struck the complainant
without any just provocation, and for that assault he
must pay 10s. and expenses, or be imprisoned for ten
days.

It subsequently appeared that while the parties
were in attendance at the court the wife of Turner,
the def.,ndant, called in a broker, to whom she sold.
the whole of the goods and started off with the
amount.

THE SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH.I
The preparations for making another attempt to lay
down a line of electrical communication at the bottom
of the sea between the English and French coasts are
rapidly progressing to completion. That it is possible
to transmit a current of gilvanic electricity from one
shore to the other by means of an insulated wire
deposited in the bed of the Channel was fully demon -
strated by the experiment of last year, unsuccessful
as it was in permanently establishing the communi-
cation. The only question now remaining to be solved
is, whether sufficient measures can be adopted to
insure the connecting chain against the casualties
which proved fatal to the project as originally designed,
and according to the plan now finally determined
upon there is every prospect of attaining the desired
end. The essential conditions upon which the success
of the undertaking have been shown to depend are, in
the first place, that the conducting medium should be
so securely isolated as to resist the pressure of the
immense mass of water to which it will be subjected,
and should unite the flexibility requisite to allow of its
being easily coiled and uncoiled with a strength and
weight sufficient to enable it to retain its position at
the bottom of the sea and to resist any ordinary
violence from the natural action of the waves ;
and, secondly, that the points on either coast to be
connected should be so chosen that the line be-
tween them present no other causes of accident than
have been foreseen and guarded against in the prepa-
ration of the connecting line, and that the effect of
these be reduced to the least possible amount. The
line of communication which is now being manu-
factured at \Yapping will, it is expected, entirely ful-
fil the required conditions. It consists of four
copper wires the thickness of an ordinary bellwire,
cased in gutta percha, and twined with a correspond-
ing number of hempen strands steeped in a mixture
of tar and tallow into a rope of about a❑ inch
diameter. Another strand similarly prepared is wound
transversely round this, and finally ten wires of gal-
vanised iron, about a third of an inch thick, are
twined round this central core and form a solid and
at the same time flexible casing. The whole, when
thus completed, has the appearance of an ordinary
4k-inch metallic cable. The machinery by which this
is effected is extremely simple, and the work proceeds,
night and day, with the utmost regularity. A huge
coil is thus being formed in one continuous piece at
the rate of about 1 mile a day, and will finally at-
tain the length of 24 miles. Tne weight of the
entire rope when finished, it is estimated, will be from
170 to 180 tons: From time to time, as the work
proceeds, a gavanic current is passed through the
wires and their conducting power is tested by a
galvanometer. The results thus obtained have been
hitherto highly satisfactory, and as the whole length
is now nearly completed there is every reason to
anticipate that the same success will attend the work
to the end.

Messrs. Crampton and Wollaston, the engineers
who have undertaken to carry out the necessary mea-
sures for establishing the submarine telegraph, have
recently been engaged in exploring the coast in the
neighbourhood of Calais, for the purpose of selecting
the most advantageous point towards which to direct
the line of communication. In performing this task
they have bad the advantage of the experience of
Captain Bullock, who is engaged in a survey of the
Channel, and whose steam-vessel, the Fearless, has
been placed at their disposal. The starting point on
the English coast which has been fixed upon as the
most advantageous, on account of the nature of the
beach and the comparative freedom from the danger of
ships anchoring in the immediate vicinity, is the South
Foreland. The line will be conducted down a shaft
practised perpendicularly in the cliff and along ashort
tunnel, communicating with it at right angles, to the
beach, where it is proposed to bury it at some consi-
derable depth beneath the shingle, to the lowest level
of ebb tide. The spot selected on the French coast
for similar reasons is situated about four miles to the
south of Calais, near the village of Sanngate.
The beach at this point consists entirely
of sand, and a ridge of sandhills called dunes
extends for a considerable distance along the coast,
protecting the adjacent country from the inroads of
the sea. The line will here be buried again to some
depth beneath the sand, and on reaching the dunes the
communicating wires will be continued underground
to the telegraphic station at Calais, and brought into
immediate communication with the network of tele-
graphic lines radiating from that point, and embracing
the principal towns of the continent. The line from
the South Foreland to Sanngate, although not the
shortest that could be drawn between the two coasts,
is that which presents the fewest chances of accident.
The point at the two extremes are those were the low-
water mark is nearest the high, and the character of
the bed of the Channel lying between, as far as can be
ascertained by careful soundings, offers no peculiari-
ties likely to affect the integrity of the conducting
line.

Every facility that could be given for establishing
the connexion of the sub-marine wire with the tele-
graphic station at Calais has been granted with the
greatest alacrity by the French Government, as well
as by those persons whose local rights had to be con-
sulted before the line could be laid down, and, should
the experiment prove successful as far as regards the
transmission of the galvanic fluid across the Channel,
the communication with Paris will be almost immedi-
ately established.

FALKIRK SEPTEMBER TRYST.
This great sheep and cattle market commenced yes-
terday ; at least an advertisement which appeared in
Edinburgh and provincial papers led many
and Irish dealers to believe so, for a great number of
buyers were on the ground at an early hour, in the
expectation of finding a stock of sheep forward. At
nine o'clock, however, there were not above half a
dozen lots on the stance, although the parks in the
vicinity were covered with them ; and from first to last
during the course of the day not more than between
5,000 or 6,000 were shown. The annoyance and ad-
ditional expense which this misunderstanding has oc-
casioned to dealers from a distance is very vexatious.
Some parties with whom we conversed had freighted
vessels at the Broomielaw for the purpose of convey-
ing to Ireland the stock which they calculated on
being able to purchase yesterday; but from the sheep
not being forward they have been disappointed, and
will require to hang on for another day. It is very
disagreeable at all times to reflect on the conduct of
individuals, but in the present instance the mischief
we have no hesitation in saying has originated from
the large holders, who for some reasons of their own
secured the consent of other parties, by whose concur-
rence placards were posted up and down in the most con-
spicuous parts of the district, intimating that the sheep
mark would not be held till Tuesday. The result of this
has been to disappoint dealers unnecessarily ; for we
believe, from the number of buyers forward yesterday
that had the stock been exhibited a clearance would
have been effected. There is moreover the further
mischievous consequence that to-day (Tuesday) the
cattle will be brought forward, and parties who at-
tended the last September tryst can have an idea of
the confusion that must ensue. A repetition of such
mismanagement could not but terminate in dealers
getting disgusted, and the probable removal of this im-
portant market to some other place; but we are glad
to learn that some steps have been taken by the most
influential parties connected with the tryst, by which
the recurrence of similar misunderstandings will on
future occasions be avoided.

From the limited number of sheep shown yester-
day, and other causes, the prices which were obtained
do not probably afford a criterion of what they will
bring to-morrow, as many dealers who could not re-
main longer made their purchases from the few lots
on the ground, which were all sold by four o'clock in
the afternoon.

As far as it is worth while quoting prices, it ap-
peared to be the opinion that Cheviot ewes brought
2s. a head more than at last September tryst, and
Cheviot wedders Is. a head of advance.
The following are some of the principal lots that
chrnged hands :
_ _

Mr. Shaw, Kincairn, sold a lot of 300 black-faced
crock ewes at 10s. each, and a lot of wedders, same
quality, at 175., both lots to a Yorkshire dealer. Mr.
Harrison, Yorkshire, bought a lot of black-faced
ewes at 9s. 6d. A lot of half-bred Dinmonts, belonging
to the Earl of Caithness, sold by his land steward, Mr.
Hay, to Mr. Ritchie, Edinburgh, brought barely 235.
Mr. R. bought a lot of Cheviot ewes at 141. Mr.
Swan, salesman, Edinburgh, sold a lot of three-year
old Cheviot wedders, belonging to Mr. A. Dunbar,
Scrabster, Caithness, at 275. each, and a lot of 400 1
two-year old Cheviot wedders at 219. A lot cf
Cheviot ewes, belonging to Mr. Marcus Gunn, were
sold to an Irish dealer at 18s. each, and another at

19s. A lot of Cheviot ewes, also belonging to Mr.
Dunbar, were sold at 18s. by Mr. Swan ; who sold a
small lot of black-faced ewes from Perthshire for 10s.
6d. A lot of black-faced three year old wedders,
from Logie Almond, Perthshire, brought 21s. 9d.;
and a lot of year old Cheviot wedders sold by Mr.
Ferguson, salesman, Edinburgh, fetched 163. Mr.
Kennedy, Dumfries, bought a lot of black-faced ewes
for 9s. 6d.; and Mr. Duncan, salesman, Glasgow,
disposed of a lot of Cheviot ewes to an Irish dealer
for 18s., and a lot of black-faced at 93., neither of the
latter being first quality.—Aorth British Mail.
