THE ABODE OF LOVE OR .41G-4TEMONE

AGA.a".

JUDGES' CHAMBERS—THIS DAY.
(Before Mr. Baron Wilde.)
THE QUEEN V. TIIE REV. LEWIS PRICE.
Mr. Bishop, of the firm of Bishop and Son, and Registrar
of the Greenwich and Woolwich County Counts, with Mr.
Lovibond, solicitor, of Bridgewater, applied for and ob.
tamed a writ of Habeas Corpus on the part of Mrs. Harriet
Lancaster Price, directed to her husband, the Rev. Lewis
Price, to produce her before Mr. Baron Wilde, at his
Chambers, and to show cause by what authority he had
forcibly removed and detained her in close custody, and
refused her permission to return to the Abode of Love, and
join Brother Prince and other inmates.
The applicants, in support of the application, showed
that Mrs. Price had, at her own free will and the consent
of her husband, joined the community of the Agape
monites, and that his accession from that body, and
his wishes for her to retire were opposed by her,
that her removal hail been made by stratagem an d
force, and that it was her strict determination and desire to
return to her former residence, the Abode of Love, and that
she was now placed under a state of imprisonment and pro-
vented from returning. Mrs. Price went on to say that
she desired at once to return, that she did not desire to
remain with her husband, and that she had given Mss
Starkey, who was with her when she was abducted, every
authority to instruct Mr. Lovibond to take every necessary
legal proceedings to obtain her liberty and freedom of action
to return to her former abode.
Mr. Baron Wylde, without expressing any opinion in
the case, thought there was sufficient prima facie evidence
to justify the writ of Habeas Corpus being issued forthwith
and made an order accordingly.
The writ was at once issued, and sent by express train,
and will be served on Mr. Price, at Glastonbury, this
evening.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAL)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

CAUTION TO LICENSED VICTUALLERS—A DEPRAVED
FAMILY.—Owen Moran, a man who hawks chickweed, &c.,
was charged with the following robbery :
The prisoner and his family are about as shockingly
depraved a lot as it is possible to find. Along with his wife
he only came out of prison yesterday, where they had spent
three months for sending their children out begging—the
said children having been for a long time a perfect pest at
the West-end of the town. One of them, named Catherine
Moran, who was committed by Mr. Beadon yesterday for
one month for begging, although only 12 years of age, has
for some time past set up a home of her own, cohabiting
with a boy of a similar age in Charles-street, Drury-lane.
Palmer, 191 C, said that about one this morning he saw
the prisoner with a basket of chickweed on his back, and
seeing something in it glitter he stoppul him, and on re-
moving the chickweed he found two measures, a quart and
a pint, belonging to different publicans.
Thomas Londell, waiter at the Scotch Stores, 365, Ox-
ford-street, Mr. Ricks, identified one of the measures, and
John Watts, servant to Messrs. Smith and Lipscomb, Lis-
son-grove, identified the other, remarking that he knew it
well from having had his head cut open with it.
Prisoner—Do what you like with me. Settle it here. I
didn't know I had them, and there is no use whatsomdever

denying it.
Londell said his master had lost 12 quarts out of 19 in a
few weeks.

The prisoner, who evidently uses the chickweed as a
screen while pot stealing, was committed by Mr. Beadon
for three months, with hard labour.

THAMES.

EXTENSIVE SEIZURE OF FOREIGN TODACCO.—Richard
Smart, Richard Putter, John Childs, Richard lieeld,
Jonathan Clark, and Stephen Golden Geddes, seamen, and
at the time of their apprehension forming part of the crew
of the steamship Ancona, belong to the St. Petersburgh
Steam Shipping Company, were brought before Mr. Yard-
ley, charged, on a Custom-houso information, with smug-
gling 2301b5. of foreign manufactured tobacco, liable to a
duty of 9s. sd. per lb.
The Crown sued for penalties to the amount of £6OO.

A clerk from the Customs' solicitor's office attended on
the part of the Crown.

Mr. Richard John, clerk to Mr. Cuttarns, solicitor, of
Mark-lane, watched the case for the owners of the Ancona,
whose interests were put in jeopardy by the illegal con-
duct of the prisoners.
Mr. William Taylor, a Custom-house officer, said that
on Sunday afternoon last when the Ancona landed in the
river he went on board, and upon making an examination
of the forecastle he discovered several packages, and on
opening them he found they contained a quantity of foreign.
tobacco. Smith and Putter were there at the time he seized
the tobacco. The other prisoners were also on board. Ho
seized the tobacco, and by direction of the Board of Cus-
toms afterwards took the prisoners into custody.
In answer to Mr. Yardley, the witness said that the
whole of the prisoners slept in the forecastle. Their berths
were there. He conveyed the tobacco to the Queen's ware-
house to be weighed.
Mr. Alfred Parsons, locker in the Queen's warehouse,
said that he received the tobacco and produced samples of
it. The net weight was 230 lbs., and the value and duty
£ll9 10s.

The secretary of the St. Petersburgh Steam Packet
Company stated that the seamen had intloduced the tobacco
into the ship quite unknown to the captain and officers,
and they must have been aware they were doing wrong.
Mr. Yardley said he was perfectly satisfied that neither
the owners or the captain of the Ancona would give their
sanction to such proceedings, or tolerate any smuggling
whatever on the part of the crew. An attempt had been
made to defraud the revenue to a large extent. The pri-
soners were on board the Ancona when the seizure was
made. He had no alternative but to fine them £lOO each,
and to be imprisoned until the fines were paid.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.-(.

OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice Byles.)
THE COLNEY II ITCH CASE.

.Day.)

William Slater and William Vivian, who were keepers in

the Colney Hatch Lunatic Asylum, were indicted for the
manslaughter of Wm. Swift, an inmate of that institution.
Mr. Sergeant Ballantine and Mr. Sleigh prosecuted on
behalf of the Commissioners of Lunacy ; Mr. Robinson de-
fended Vivian, and Mr. Metcalfe was for Slater.
The learned Sergeant said that the case was one which
would create much anxiety, although it was surrounded
with very considerable difficulties. The charge against the
prisoners was that they, being keepers of the Colney Hatch
Lunatic Asylum, and having care of patients, so treated
one of them named. Swift as to cause his death. The de-
ceased was sent to Colney Hatch Asylum in the early part of
the present year, and was considered a dangerous lunatic
—indeed there was no doubt that he was a confirmed
lunatic, and that he could never be anything else. On Wed-
nesday, the 9th of May, the deceased made an attack upon
a keeper named Gann, and the keeper struck him in self-
defence, but there was no ground for supposing that he used
any unnecessary violence. Upon that occasion the deceased
had the best of the struggle. The keeper was injured, and
he hardly knew how he was delivered from the lunatic, but
it turned out upon inquiry that he was 'extricated by other
people, and as far as ho knew he inflicted no injury upon
the deceased:although in the struggle they fell down to •
getber on the floor side by side. From that period down to
Saturday evening the lunatic was in his ordinary state of
health, and exhibited no signs of injury. He moved and
walked about with the greatest facility. On that Saturday
evening, Slater, one of the prisoners, went to Mr. Tyerman,
the surgeon of the asylum, and said that Swift was dead ;.
that he had bad an epileptic fit, and that he had died in it
A post mortem examination was made, and it was found
that six ribs were fractured on one side and five on the
other. The sternum was fractured right across. The liver
was ruptured, and a considerable quantity of extravasated
blood had found its way to the stomach. Inquiries were
made amongst the lunatics, and it was found that the pri-
soners had been guilty of acts of great cruelty towards the
deceased. The question at issue was whether the deceased
died in an epileptic fit, or from the violence of the two men
Slater and Vivian.

William Gann, examined by Mr. Sleigh, said the de-
ceased was about 50 years of age, and was a large powerful
man. The deceased made an attack upon him and he
struck him in the stomach in self-defence. They fell to-
gether, and he did not know how he was extricated. lie
saw the deceased again that night at eight o'clock. Wit-
ness said " Good night" to him, and ho made no complaint.
On the following morning deceased. showed him a bruise
on the right side of the stomach where witness had struck
him, but he did not appear to have sustained any further
injury.

By Mr. Metcalfe—He struck the deceased violently. it
was a life and death struggle between them.

By Mr. Robinson—Swift, the deceased, was a very vio-
lent lunatic. When he came to the asylum ho had marks
round his waist by which he had apparently been chained
down.

Charles Reed, an attendant at the asylum, examined by
Sergeant Ballantine, said he was called to the assistance
of Gann, when he was attacked by Swift. Swift had got
Gann down, and had his hand on his neckcloth. Witness
said, "Let go Swift," and he let go immediately. lle saw
the deceased frequently afterwards (on the same and subse-
quent days), and there did not appear to be anythingthq
wa
s
nothing with him. lle made no complaints. There
nothing peculiar about his breathing. On seeing him on
the following morning, Swift said to witness " It's a lucliy
thing for him that you came last night, I should have killed
him."

By Mr. Metcalte—lle could not say that Swift was not
suffering from injury when he saw him except from his
observation.

By Mr. Robinson—He did not know what was Swift's
special delusion. He fancied that he possessed great wealth,
that he was the strongest man in the world, and that he
had killed 300 or 400 Catholics.

Samuel Clarke, one of the lunatics, was called and said
he lived at Grove Hall. He used to reside at Colney Hatch.
He knew the two men in the dock. They were atten-
dants in Colney Hatch. He knew a man named Swift.
On the Saturday he saw him taken from the airing
court into the ward. It was about ten minutes to
five. Vivian caught hold of him by the collar, and
Swift said he would go with him where he liked. The
other man (Slater) was there. Vivian met Slater,
and said he had been waiting for him, as he could
not keep Swift quiet. Vivian then took hold of Swift,
tripped up his legs, and threw him 'on his back. Both
Vivian and Slater then kicked him, punched him, jumped
upon him with their knees, and stamped upon him with
their feet—principally on the chest. They then took him
into the padded room. There was a great noise, and he
heard Swift crying out. Once he called out " Murder,"
and at other times he called upon them not to ill-use and
kick him in that way. Witness went into the airing
room, from which ho could see into the padded room. He
saw Slater's hands on Swift's head, turning him round.
Slater said, "We had better have them in, or it will be all
over the building." Slater then gave the word, and the
patients went in. Witness, however, did not go in, but went
and sat down in the recess.

The witness gave his evidence with great coolness and in-
telligence throughout, and betrayed no symptoms of in-
sanity. It appears that he had been a soldier and had served
at Sydney.

Wm. Varney, another lunatic, examined by Mr. Sleigh
said he was at present residing at Grove Hall Asylum, and
was formerly at Colney Hatch, and knew the deceased man
Swift. He had supper with him on the day after his struggle
with Gann, and saw him frequently on that and the subse-
quent day. He appeared to be in his usual state of health.
He ate all the dinner and supper that was given him. After
dinner on Friday some of the patients played draughts and
cards. Swift was there and talked " erroneous." Slater spoke
roughly to him and told him to go down into the gallery.
He was not making much noise. He did not go down the
gallery ; ho had no time. Slater caught hold ofLhim, and
drew him down to the padded room. When Slater dragged
him into the padded room Vivian followed him, and he
heard Swift call ou " Oh 1" and " Oh Lord 1" many times
There was then a great scale, and it continued six or ten
minutes. He saw Swift the next morning at breakfast.
He complained to Slater that ho had kicked him violently
on the day before, and that it was too bad. He appeared
to be very much hurt, but he ate his dinner as usual. The
next day he heard that ho was dead.
By Mr. Metcalfe—The cries of Swift were very loud, but
sometimes were stifled as though he was being choked. He
complained to Slater on Saturday morning about kicking
him, and said he was very sore. He appeared to bo pretty
well in other respects. He (witness) was at Hanwell ten
years before he went to Colney Hatch, where ho was two
years.

(Tho case was proceeding when we went to press.)

TRIS DAY'S MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

There was a very poor show of English wheat in to-day's
market, both as to quantity and quality. Good dry samples
of old wheat realised fully is per qr. above last week's cur-
rency, but damp qualities were heavy at Monday's decline.
Although nearly 14,000 qrs. of foreign wheat have tome
fresh to hand an increased amount of business was passing,
and fine parcels wero rather dearer. Floating cargoes were
held at extreme rates.

There was a fair demand for both English and foreign
barley at very full prices.

Most kinds of malt met a slow inquiry. In prices, how•
over, no change took place.

There was a good consumptive demand for oats at Gd per
qr. more money.
Beans and peas commanded extreme rates.
The flour trade was firm at very full currencies.
