COLONIAL GOVERNMENT SECURITIES.

LAW INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

JUDGES' CHAMBERS, SERJEANTS' INN,
(Before Mr. Baron Wilde.)

COBBETT, A PRISONER, V. WHEELER AND OTHERS.-MRS

COBBETT SUCCESSFUL AT LAST.

Mrs. Cobbett this morning made an application, before
Mr. Baron Wilde, for a writ of habeas corpus cum cause,
directed to the keeper of the Queen's Prison, to bring up
her husband, William Cobbett, who has been detained in
prison upwards of four years, at the suit of the defendants,
for the costs of an action brought by Mr. Cobbett against
the defendant, and which was tried at the Spring Assizes
for the county of Southampton, in 1355, when Mr. Cob-
bett was non-suited ; the object of the habeas being to enable
Mr. Cobbett to be heard in support of his application to
be discharged, on the ground that he was illegally
detained in custody, as the Act of Parliament, the Turn-
pike Act, not giving any costs where no damages,
and the action having been brought by Mr. Cobbett, as
mortgagee of certain turnpike tolls near Southampton.
Mrs. Cobbett said her husband claimed the writ under the
general habeas corpus, as a matter of right, from the judge in
his ministerial capacity, and not in a judicial capacity in
vacation, the Courts not being sitting, and, produced a
letter from Mr. Cobbett to the judge, in which he set forth
the grounds of his application for discharge, and the Acts
of Parliament, and the cases he relied upon in support.
Mr. Baron Wilde having read the affidavits and state-
ment gave his fiat for the issuing of the writ.

The application for discharge has been heard by almost
every judge and refused.

Mr. Baron Wilde will be the last to hear the case.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.}

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ASSAULT WITH THE KNIFE IN ST. MARTIN'S WORK-
HOUSE.—Richard Norman, 19, an inmate of St. Martin's
Workhouse, was charged before Mr. Mansfield with cutting
with a table knife in the workhouse, a boy named Joseph
Anderson, also an inmate.

Michael Brannan, porter of the workhouse, said that
about 7 o'clock the previom evening ho saw the boy An-
derson come across the yard bleeding from his neck. He
asked who had done it, and was told the prisoner. He at
once, as the board was sitting, took the prisoner before it,
and they ordered him to be given into custody. The pri-
soner only said the boy had taken a piece of his bread off
the table where he was sitting. (Brannan produced a table
knife.)

Joseph Anderson, the boy, said that while having supper
the prisoner asked him to have a piece of broad and butter,
and as soon as he took it from the table the prisoner seised
up the table knife produced, and threw it at him, and it
stuck in his neck.

Mr. James Barnett, the master of the house, said he took
the boy to the surgeon, who attended to him, and although
as the boy was very healthy there was no danger, still the
surgeon had informed him that the wound, had it ex-
tended a little farther, would have:caused the death of the
boy. The boy was a very good boy, and the prisoner had
been convicted before Mr. Bingham at this Court for an
assault on a man in December last with a poker, when he
was committed for a month with hard labour.

Mr. Mansfield, observing that the prisoner was a stout,
muscular-looking fellow, asked why he was in the house ?
Mr. Barnett said the prisoner came to the house, said he
was destitute, and they were obliged to admit him.

Mr. Mansfield said there was no proof of his destitution,
and again asked why he was in the house. He was not a
cripple, or incapable of working.

Mr. Barnett said he was sorry to say there were a good
many able-bodied in the house, and they were obliged to
admit them or they would soon come to that court com-
plaining.

Mr. Mansfield said the prisoner was well able to earn hi■
own living, and simply on his saying he was destitute he
was admitted. In the part of the country he had been con-
nected with there were none admitted to the house but the
aged, cripples, and children, who were destitute. He
should sentence the prisoner to pay a fine of 40s. or two
months' imprisonment with hard labour.
