COURT OF EXCHEQUER.

(Before the Lord Chief Baron, Mr. Baron Martin, Mr,
Baron Channel, and Mr. Baron Wild.)
BRADLEY V. DOLLIPA CE.

This was an action on a charter party tried at Liverpool.
in which plaintiff obtained a verdict for some £37, and leave
was given to move to enter a verdict for the defendant.
Mr. Overend, Q.C. , now moved accordingly. The facts,
which were admitted en both sides, appeared to be that
plaintiff employed the efendant to carry certain grain for
him by sea, and it w s shipped on board in two kinds of bags
—one lot holding much less than the other. They were
never weighed in the ship, and the bills of )`lading only
mentioned them as so many bags. The plaintiff claimed
the £37, on the ground that the grain delivered had lost in
weight, and defendant contended that as the bags were not
distinguished and the weight was not mentioned in the
bill of lading, he was not liable for loss of weight.
Rule nisi granted.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
PLTNDSRING AN EMPLOYER.—George Mylam, 8, Mel-
ton-place, Easton-square, assistant in the employ of Mrs.
Ann Gibbons and Mr. Wm. White, ironmongers, &0., 345,
Oxford •street, was charged with stealing a quantity of cop-
per wire, there being also reason to believe that he had
robbed him to a very large extent.
John Knapp, 17, Holles-street, Soho, porter in the employ
of the prosecutors, said that, between 8 and 9 o'clock on
Saturday morning, he saw the prisoner, who had been in
the employ of the firm about five years, go into the top ware-
house, a place he had no business in, and on returning from
it noticed his appearance to be rather bulky. The prisoner
then crossed Nag's Head-yard, and went into the work-
men's closet belonging to the prosecutors, and shortly after
came out. He (witness) then went into the place, and on
making a search found on a beam, near a cistern, the copper
'vire secreted, and at once informed Mr. White, and kept a
watch on the prisoner, and about three in the afternoon
when the workmen were leaving saw the prisoner go into
the close: again,Jatd come out with something wrapped in
a pocket handkerchief under his arm. He told him the
manager wanti.ed to speak to him, and took him back to the
shop, where the wire was found in the bundle by one of the
managers. The value of the wire was £1 10s.
he prisoner pleaded guilty.
The ;,tanagerformed the magistrate that there was
reason to believe the prisoner had acted in a similar man-
ner before, for on refen:ing to invoices he found that up-
wards of 1 cwt. had been taken away in 10 days ; and he
had cautioned the prisoner
it to go to the warehouse.

Mr. Beadon said the prisons." had probably robbed his
employers to some extent, and ha:l caused suspicion to be
thrown on others. He must bo made an example of to
deter others,—Committed for six mouths, with hard labour

THAMES.

HIGHWAY ROBBEHY.—Charles Macarthy, a dirty ruf-
fianly looking fellow, well known to the police was brought
before Mr. Yardley, charged with committing the following
daring highway robbery:—
John Pinks a police constable No. 384 K, stated that at
one o'elock on Sunday morning he saw the prisoner accost
a man who was intoxicated, at the corner of John-street,
Jubilee-street, Stepney, and knock him down with his fist•
While the man was on the ground the prisoner fell upon
him, put his hand into his pocket, and took from it a purse.
The prisoner then ran away as fast as he could He over-
took him at the entrance of a most horrible neighbourhood
called John's-place, which was full of infamous conveyed
thieves and prostitutes, and then seized him and conveyed
him to the station-house.
Mr. Yardley committed the prisoner for trial at the Cc-
tr4 crialiwil Court.

Margaret Gowland, otherwise Sutton, who mur-
dered her two children, Elizabeth Jane and Annie
Gowland, the one four and the other two years of
age, at Bradford, on the night of Sunday, the 21st
ult., and-at the same time inflicted a severe wound
on her own throat, died in the Bradford infirmary
on Friday morning, at six o'clock. The Rev. John
Wade, one of the curates of the parish church, had
been unremitting in his attendance on the unhappy
woman, and was with her during a part of the
Right before she expired. She was occasionally
delirious shortly previous- to her death, but at
other times calm and rational. She frequently
spoke about her late children, and stated several
times that she had murdered them. On Thursday
she asked the nurse in attendance what day of the
week it was, and on the nurse answering her
question, she remarked that it was just a week
singe her children were buried, and added words to
the effect that " It it had not been for that bad
man (meaning John George Gowland, father of the
children) she should not have committed that rash
deed." On another occasion, not long before she
died, she remarked that she should only live a few
hours, and then she manifested considerable emo-
tion, saying she would have to be buried at eleven
o'clock at night, and without any religious service.
She told the matron at the institution, on Thursday
morning, that she was very happy, and thanked her
for all her kindness. It does not appear that the wo-
man ever said anything about the manner in which
she murdered the children, the particular hour at
which sho committed the act, or which of the
children she first put to death. To the night nurse
she stated on one occasion that one of the children,
when the other's throat was cut, made an appeal
to her to be spared, exclaiming, " Oh, dear mamma !
don't do it to me." It has already been mentioned
that the woman had, while in the infirmary, ex-
pressed a wish that after her death certain things
belonging to her might be distributed among her
friends, and that her directions were taken down
in writing. The property she desired to dispose
of included her clothes, some money (about 205.),
her ring, and her Bible. Mr. Grauhan,
the chief constable, is in possession of what may
be called her " will," and he will, no doubt,
see that the property is forwarded to her Mends
according to the written instructions.
Some persons who were neighbours of the de-
ceased woman during the time she resided with
Gowland in Bradford have begun a subscription
for defraying the expenses of re-interring the two
children in a grave with the mother, and Mr. R.
Spencer, of 12, Bolton-road, has been appointed
treasurer. The unfortunate woman appears to have
been respected by her neighbours, and to have cared
something for their opinion of her. On Thursday
while sitting up in bed she made the police-
constable who was stationed in the room to
watch her understand that she wanted to speak
to him. On his going to her bedside she touched
some of the buttons of his coat and. said, " Were
you on that walk ?" meaning the police beat within
which she and Gowland and the two children

lived. He replied " Yes," and she then inquired,
as well as she could, what the people said about it,
or about what she had done ? He endeavoured to
divert her attention from the subject, but zhe re-
peated her question, and at last he told her that
" all the people thought it was a great pity, and
sympathised with her very much." She then said,
" Well, I should never have done it if it bad not
been for that man. I was a decent, hard-working
girl until I knew:that villain."

BETTING AT MANCHESTER—SA.TunDAT.

Speculation on the Liverpool Cup assumed a more defi-
nite shape to-day. Yesterday, it seemed a perfect jumble,
out of whit& we could scarce make anything. Chere Arnie,
against whom 100 to 3 was offered, and offers were made to
bet that she did not run, was freely backed to-day at 6to
1, and Herne advanced to 7to 1 (taken). Light:was not
in much demand, but there were plenty of offers to take 10
to 1. 100 to 8 would have been taken against Killigrew
and beyond these four it seems almost a matter of what
price would you take. The meeting broke up very early,
the members taking their departure for Stretford, to wit-
ness a few races come off, got up by the officers iu garrison.

Humes WILL.—A codicil to David Hume's will
rune thus :—" I leave to my old friend I%lr. John Home, of
Kilduff, 10 dozen of my old claret at his choice, and one
single bottle of that other liquor called port. I also leave
to him six dozen of port, provided that he attests under his
hand, signed John Hume,' that he has himself alone
finished that bottle at two sittings. By this concession he
will at once terminate the only two differences that ever
arose between us concerning temporal affairs." The two
differences were as to the proper mode of spelling their name
—whether " Hume" or " Rome"—and as to the merits of
port, which John Rome detested.—" Wills and will.,
