GRAND HANDICAP STEEPLECHASE

This was an action for a breach of covenant. It
appeared that the plaintiff,is:son-in-law of the defendant,
Tucker, and in 1851 the plaintiff separated from his
wife, executing a deed of separation, in which he gua-
ranteed to allow her and ber child 601. to furnish a
house for them, the defendant undertaking that the
wife should not molest or annoy the plaintiff.
Since the execution of the deed of separation,
it was alleged by the plaintiff that his wife
annoyed him by sending him several letters, and that
on one occasion she forcibly entered his house at Peck-
ham, and that subsequently she entered without per-
mission his brother-in-law's house in 1854, where he was
then living, much to his annoyance. For the defence it
was urged that there had been a breach of covenant on
the plaintiff's side, by not providing his wife with suitable
furniture, and that he had not paid her regularly the
allowance stipulated. .
The case had not concluded when our despatch left,
Up to tho time of our going to press, nothing of in-
terest had occurred in the other courts.

Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Clark conducted the prosecu-
tion, and Mr. Sleigh defended tie prisoner.
The facts of this atrocious ease have been so fre-
quently and fully before the public that a detailed
report on this occasion is wholly unnecessary. The pri-
soner, on his taking his position at the bar, cast a hasty
glance round the court, and nearly throughout the whole
of the proceedings he maintained the greatest calmness.
The witnesses who gave evidence against the prisoner
at Bow-street were severally examined by Mr. Bodkin
and cross-examined by Mr. Sleigh, the object of the
learned gentleman engaged for Marley, far some time,
evidently being to show that it was a case of mistaken
identity. .

When the witness Croft was giving his evidence, in
which he stated that he saw the prisoner striking at
somebody in the shop of Mr. Berry in Parliament-street,
Marley fixed a steadfast gaze upon him, and it was
some time before he again resumed his apparent calm-
ness. On Baron Alderson putting the question to
Croft whether he had the slightest doubt in his
mind as to the prisoner being the person he saw come
out of Mr. Berry's shop on the evening of the shocking
occurrence, and on his reply in the negative, the prisoner
convulsively bit his lips, but shortly afterwards he
regained his composure. The effect of the answer Of
Croft was completely to fix the prisoner's identity.
Mr. Sleigh, the prisoner's counsel, did not attempt a
cross-examination of this witness. The only other person
whose evidence created the slightest sensation in court
was Allen, the hackney carriage attendant, the brother-
in-law of the unfortunate man Cope, and when the
witness left the witness-box the prisoner evidently felt
grest relief, as the whole tenour of evidence was greatly
against him.
The next incident that occurred was the examination
of Mr. Barnaby; the chief clerk of the Bas-street
police-court. This 14;9n tlem an read the depositions taken
before Mr. Jardine, the magistrate, at the Westminster
Hospital. The witness baying finished reading
the document, Mr. Sleigh asked Mr. Burnaby
whether the precise question " Is that the man
who struck you ?" was not put to Cope in the pre-
sence of Marley. Mr. Burnaby said was not. The
injured man was, of course, prepared for e.rtcountering
the presence of the prisoner, immediately on seeing
whom Cope gave a convulsive shudder, and in sae:ger
to the question, whether be could identify any
person present as the man who bad injured him, he
pointed to the prisoner and said, " That's the man."
At the relation of this incident in the dreadful tragedy
a thrill of horror ran through the court, but the prisoner
at this particular moment was not in the slightest degree
disturbed.

In the course of the examination of Mr. Marshall, the
surgeon of Westminster Hospital, the witness was enter-

had received on the head, when

Baron Alderson, addressing Mr. Marshall, said, now,
never mind all that, we want to know what was the
cause of the death of Cope.

157 - 159

Mr. Marshall—The deposition of matter in the lungs.
Baron Alderson—What was the cause of that.
Mr. Marshall—lnjuries of the head.
The opinion of Mr. Marshall was confirmed by Mr.
B. Holt, and Mr. Lawrence, senior surgeon of Bartho-
lomew's Hospital. The
,latter gentleman said he had
never known a case of a person recovering who had
received such extensive injuries as the deceased had,
after the operation of trepanning had been performed.
This closed the case for the prosecution.

The court then adjourned for a few minutes.

1 - li,

Mr. Sleigh, in addressing the jury for the prisoner,
said that the inquiry in which they were that day engag-
od was one of the meat awful, and involved upon himself
a responsibility of great ,magnitude. Bat in any
decision which they would arrive at he felt sure they
would be guided by strict impartiality. He felt it his
duty to inform the jury that he was not instructed
directly by the prisoner himself, but he had
been instructed on the part of the Sheriffs not
to attempt too frustrate or impede the ends of
justice, but to see that the prisoner had a perfectly fair
and impartial trial. To find the man at the bar guilty
of the charge imputed to him, they must be satisfied
that the prisoner is the man who committed the offence
in Mr. Berry's shop. They must be satisfied that his
hand was the one which caused the death of the
unfortunate man Cope. The first point to which he would
direct their attention was, aye or no, is the man standing
at the bar the man seen in Mr. B erry's shop inflicting
injuries upon the unfortunate deceased. He had taken
advantage of the recess that had taken place to shortly
review the whole of the facts adduced to-day, and he
thought that when they came to view them, they would
arrive at the conclusion that the present case is one of
mistaken identity... The fact that the basket which had
been stolen from Berry's had not been discovered was a
strong point in favour of the prisoner ; and he put it to
them whether it was not possible for the person who had
committed the robbery to have thrown away the life
preserver and still preserved the produce of the robbery.
The whole of this part of the case was involved in doubt.
[We shall give the conclusion in our late edition.]

MR. TYRWHITT AND NEWSPAPER EDUCATION.—Last
week two boys were placed at the bar before Mr.
Tyrwhitt, at the Clerkenwell Police-court, charged
with having wilfully destroyed their clothes in St. Pea-
ces Workhouse. The beadle, who proved the charge,
said he friend the boys in a state of nudity. "Nudity,
nudity," exclaimed the magi-trate, surprised at the
refinement of Mr. Bumble's ideas, "you mean naked,
man it was always called so before the invention of
newspapers." Mr. Buoible bowed his aeknowledgmeat
to the justice of the worthy magistrate's remark, and,
like a sensible parish functionary, abstained from differ-
ing in opinion with his superior.
MR. HUMPHREY Bnowx.—At the Gloucestershire
Bankruptcy Court held at Bristol last week, Mr. Hum-
phrey Brown, M.P. for Tewkesbury, was called upon a
trader's debtor summons. The suitors were the Glou-
cestershire Banking Company, who were represented by
Mr. H. Abbott, of the firm of Abbott and Lucas. The
summons charged that the party summoned, Mr. Humph-
rey Brown, had given his promissory note for 6501.,
payable on demand,
and that demand having been
made on the 6th instant, payment had not been made.
being Galled on he did not
Upon the summons answer,
nor did any one appear on his behalf. The effect of the
proceeding will
be that should he not, within seven days
of notice, pay, compound, or secure the said debt, he will
be adjudged to have committed an act of bankruptcy,
and a fiat will be issued accordingly,__ Worcester chro-
nicle.
THE LIGHTING OF THE CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.—
This small, dark, and inconveniently arranged court,
has lately undergone a slight addition in respect to its
lighting, but not much improvetneut. The corporation
of London, true to their principle of "no
progress,"
still adhere to the old oil lamp, and, at this period of
the year, when the days are exceedingly dark, the
dull tight cast over the court has the most depressing
injuence imaginable. It is with difficulty the eye can
penetrate to the recesses of the court, which, to an ima-
ginative mind at such times, appears filled with the de
parted spirits of those monsters whose career of crime
has been arrested in the dock, and whose guilt has been
expiated on the top of the adjoining building, ready to
take advantage of the first opportunity to upset "blind
justice" there enthroned. In order to give additional
light to that part of the court principally allotted t
counsel there has been erected a bronze pedestal, with
two lamps in the shape of a cros, with a round vessel
on the top to hold oil, like a barber's shaving pot, and
so low are the lights placed that the wigs of the learned
gentlemen come in contact with them. If the corpo-
ration are so poor as to be unable to provide gas the
presiding alderman has but to walk round the court
,
d "ly with a hat labelled " pity the distressed corpora-
tion,"al and those who have business there will readily
drop a copper into it towards effecting and perpetuating
so'desirable an innovation as a little of the light of the
present day on the dispensers of justice at this court.

DUBLIN, THURSDAY MORNING.

THE TIPPERARY BANK.

Sir Fitzroy Kelly, it is announced, has been
already retained for the petitioners in the appeal
to the House of Lords against the judgment of
Chancellor Brady in the case of " O'Flaherty v.
M'Dowell." Great faith is placed in the sound-
ness of the decision of the late Sir Michael O'Logh-
hn in the no less celebrated case of " Fa.wcet v.
Hodges' (the Agricultural Bank), and counsel for
the creditors of the Tipperary Bank appear to be
tolerably certain that the highest legal tribunal
will agree i❑ the construction of the law as laid
down by Sir Michael O'Loghlin.
