WESTERN CIRCUIT.--Boer, July 30,
CROWN COURT.
(Before Mr. Baron Martin.)
1174liarn Neva,n was indicted far the wilful murder of
Benjamin Robinson, at Saltash, on the let of June.
The prisoner pleaded "Not Guilty—accident."
Mr. Collier and Mr. Holdsworth were counsel for
the prosecution, and Mr. Coleridge defended the prisoner.
The circumstances of the case appeared to be these :
Deceased wag serjeant-major of the guard on board the
Runnymede convict ship, and the prisoner was a corporal
ender him. For several months there would appear to
have been a strong feeling existing in the mind of the
prisoner against the serjeant-major, who was a smart and
active officer, and be bad found it his duty to remon-
strate with those under him if they neglected their
duty, and among others be had found it necessary to
remonstrate with the prisoner. These remonstraeces
oroduced a strong effect on the mind of the prisoner,
.snd be had been beard to say that if he found fault
with him he would put a bullet in his musket and
put it into him, and a day or two before the transaction
in question he spoke to Major Russel and asked
him to allow him to leave tt e ship, as he could
not Bail with the serjeant major ; but Major Russell
told him, if he did this he would lose his pen-
tron, and then he consented to' remain. On the after
noon of Sunday, the Ist of June, the serjeant-major bad
r.he men on parade, and examined their firelocks, sto. It
"as the duty of the men after this inspection to take
their firelocks down below ; they were loaded, but not
capped. An order had been issued that only these who
were on guard should have caps on their pieces, and
:hat the muskets should be placed on a stand upon the
poop. After the inspection on the afternoon of the Ist
if June, and after the other men had gone below, the
prisoner for some reason remained on deck, with his
irelock in his hand, and he was seen to put a cap
upon it. Tne serjeantemsjor then told the prisoner
to call a man natned Sullivan. The prisoner called
Sullivan, who came up and went towards the msr-
geantanajor, who was on the poi). The prisoner fol
lowed Sullivan, and went up the poop laddsr, and then
placed his musket on his hip, levelled it at the ser-
geant-major, and fired. The ball struck the t•-jeant
.najor in the abdomen. He exclaimed, "Oh, God ! I
am shot," and fell dead. The prisoner ran down the
poop ladder, where he was seized. He said, "Let sae
go, I have done it, but I was drove to it." The same
afternoon the prisoner stated to an ins ector of the police,
I
"It I did it, it was an accident ; did not know my
gun went off at first. It caught the hencobp, and went
.ff by accident; but the serjeant-major threatened he
-could get my pension taken away. At the time it was
-lone I was not right. At times Ido not know what
I do." The prisoner afterwards said to a man named
Richardson, " You have been the cause of this."
The above are the facts as proved in evidence by the
witnesses who were called on the part of the prosecution.
Mr. Coleridge, in addressing the jury for the priso-
ler, urged that the question was, with what intention
'he musket was fired, and he contended that the whole s
natter was accidental—that the musket was capped and
•eaded in the ordinary way of duty, and that it w4a dis-
!barged by being caught in the hen-coop. It was rer
seasonably proved that the prisoner knew anything of
The order that the guns should not be caved, for
vlajor Russell would not swear that the prisoner
was present when the order was given, and it was
sdmitted that the order had been given to pre
vent accidents. But, even supposing the prisoner
lad heard the order, it. was 'proved that till
within a few days the guns had been kept capped and
,oaded, and it was unreasonable to suppose that, from
'whit and forgetful of the order, he had resorted to the
old state of thing?, and had at that moment capped his
sun. Not one of the witnesses had presumed to say
that the prisoner had taken aim. He was entitled to
assume that what had not been proved could not be
oroved. If the prisoner wished to kill the serjeant-
major, why had he not selected a time when no person
was close to him? If there was ground to believe there
ass a conceived hostility towards the serjeant-major,
then motive would be shown, but he contended no such
notive had been proved--mere want of good kindly feel-
ng was not sufficient. He called upon them not to believe
-bat the words sworn to by one witness, as having been
uttered by the prisoner, were spoken by him, because
ad be spoken them more than one witness could have
lepo-ed to the fact. There had been a quarrel between
the prisoner and the man who had given the evidence
upon that point, and they had reported each other to the
najor, and the prisoner had been upheld, and they had
never spoken to each other since, although it took ph.,
-ight months since. By the slightest change of words
the sentence might bear a totally different meaning, and
he (partet which had taken place between the pri-
soner and the witness was a sufficient motive for vary-
'ng the expressions which bad been used. There
was no proof that the serjeantemajor bad ever said
s word about his pension ; but Major Russell had
stated that be had told him that if he left the ship he
night loess part of his pension. There was no motive to
commit this crime, but all motive was on the other side.
fie had bis wife, who bad nearly beggared herself to de-
rend him this day, and be had his children. He bad also
its charazter and his prospects, and he had, therefore,
very motive to deter him from committing such a
''rune. They roust say whether there was not reason-
able doubt "Till," said the learned counsel, " I hear
your verdict I shall take the liberty of thinking there is
such doubt, and, if there be that doubt, leave him to the
judgment of a higher Power. If you have any doubt,
leave him his life, and if he is innocent he has a right to
it, and which will be a sore burden, too heavy to bear, if
ea is not. Remember this is a case in which you
can give no secondary verdict ; remember that if in
this case you mats(' the evidence what it is not, or
strain it in a single point, you may do that man a
cruel wrong which you never can repair, and which you
may repent bitterly all your lives ; remember that God
will judge you as you judge your fellow-creatures ; re-
member that the same justice that you mete out to him
will be meted out to you; and therefore, I say, do your
duty according to the law; observe your oaths, and I,
so
at least, have nothing more to ask of you. Yeu have
solemnly sworn to make a true deliverance between the
Queen and th
ey prisoner. You have solemnly sworn to
eive a true vdict, according to the evidence. I ask
that verdict at your hands, and may God so help you
acre and hereafter as you rightly discharge that most
solemn obligation tot he prisoner, upon which you have
invoked the sanction of His most sacred name.'
Mr. Baron Martin then summed up, calling upon the
jury to decide this important case entirely upon the evi-
deuce. They had heard the witnesses and seen their
demeanour.
The jury, having retired for some time, returned a
verdict of Guilty,
CROWN COURT.—July 31.
(Before Mr. Baron Martin.)
CHARON OF MURDER.
Ann Matthews, aged 32, James George, aged 19, and
Richard Jose, aged 35, were indicted for the wilful tnur-
ter of an infant, born of Matthews, at Truro, on the
27th of March. A second count charged Matthews and
George with harbouring Jose after he had committed
the murder.
Mr. Stock .add Mr. Coleridge were counsel for the
prosecutionen ; Mr. Bevan defended George, and Mr. H.
T. Cole defended Jose.
From the statements of counsel it appeared that
Matthews was a widow, with three children. She bad
resided for many years at Truro, where she
was
much
respected and esteemed. She was a shoemaker. Her
husband bad died four years ago, and had been a very
respectable man. About twelve months ago, in a fatal
hour, she met with the prisoner Jose ; an intimacy
arose between them, and soon afterwards he
came to lodge at her house, and from that time
they had lived in a state of adultery, for Jose was a
married man. Thus did Matthews fall away from the
paths of virtue. In the same house were living the pri-
sonerand a young woman named Eliza Burns,
van carried on the same sort of illicit in-
tercourse as the others. The intimacy' that subsisted
hetween Matthews and Jose led to its natural con
sequences, and she laScatne with child. That fact was
'Known to scarcely any one. The greatest secrecy was
amintained, because she bad an allowance from the pa-
rish for herself and her children, which she was afraid
would be withdrawn if she had a natural child. Seine
attempts had been made to procure abortion, but bad
failed. On the evening of the 26th March the pains of
labour appear to have commenced. Matthews com-
elained of being very ill, and retired early to bed. Jose
came home from his work, but did not go to bed
that night. George and Burns went to bed, leaving
Jose sitting up in the kitchen. About 4 o'clock on the
morning of Thursday, the 27,th, el Mareh, Matthews

down into the kitchen, and was there delivered of a fe-
male child. Jose also was down stairs, and be called the
girl Burn, and asked her to come down assist Mat-

George and Matthews had left the mom' Jose thrust
his finger down theethroat ute-the chiglevith great vio-
lence, bue'that did net destroy its life. He did ,this for
five minutes, He then said eltret would not do, and he
went into another room and ?etched a pan, into which
he poured a quantity of water froni a pitcher, and he
then put the child Mute the'water and drowned it. After
the child was destroyed the body was placed in a cup-
board in the ititeheneebat `Behan said `she would not
work in the room if the body remained there; and J4se
then took it ep steire into Matthews's room, and put it
in a box. Burns went up to Matthew% • who asked if
the child was dead: At a subsequent period of the
day Matthews- told Burns not to tell, for, if she 'did,
Jose would be huhg, and She should get juts trouble.
The twe men
_went to their w ,rk and returned
in the evening about air o'clock ; a conversation_
then arose as, to
,how the body should be diSpiised of,
and Jose asked George to go with him to a certain ponde
and he took doweeehaskee sad
he and George ound car-
"iieirit to' pond about a mile or tar) from Truroseees. Jose
then attached a stone' to the body by a cord, and threw
it into.the pond. On their return Matthrews asked what
they had done with the child, and Jose told her. Mat-
thews said it would be sure to be found ; but jose said
he was not afraid of that • people might go to Auetrit
lia and not find it. Matthews begged them to say no-
thing, or Jose would be hung. On Friday the 28th
of March Burns, who was dreadfully flurried with
what she bad seen, left the house and went to her
mother's. On Saturday the 29th of March, about 3
or 4 in the afternoon,, a boy named Tru'ecott was
fiahing in the pond, and observed the appearance of the
hand of a child in the water, which was unusually low at
that time. He gave an alarm, and told a man named
Snell what he had seen. Snell went to the pond and took
up the body of a child, disunited it from the stone to
which it was tied, and took it into the town of Truro to
the Union Hotel, and then informed Mr. Painter, a sur-
geon, who went and saw it. He found it to be the body
of a female child full grown, and that it bad been born
alive, and that it had come to its death by suffocation.
A. coroner's inquest was held, and a verdict of " Wilful
murder against some person or persons unknown" was
returned. On that evening Burns went to see Matthews.
As they were talking Matthews's little child came in,
and sail the body of, a child had been found in the
pond. Matthews said she was sure it was her child,
and begged Burns not to say anything aboUt it, or Jose
would be hung. On Sunday, the 30th of March, the
body was placed in a coffin and buried, and, on that day,
inquiries having been made by the constable and other
persons, Mr. Painter and another eurreon went to the
house of Matthews for the purpose ofdiscovering whe-
ther she had had a child. She denied it at find and re-
fused to be examined, but afterwards consentee, and,
upon examining her, they found she had been delivered
within a few days. Matthews then went to the house of
Burns's mother, and implored her not to make any reve-
lation on the subject. Oa Monday. the 31st of March,
Matthews and Jose were taken into custody, and
subsequently George and Burns. An inquiry took place
oefore the magistrates, and Jose then said the child
had been destroyed by poison. The body was then disin-
terred and again examined, but it was evident that that
had not been the case, but that it had been suffocated,
although the injury to the mouth and throat was suffi-
cient to have caused death viry speedily. All four
were then committed for trial, but Burns was admitted
Queen's evidence.
Of course the chief witness was the girl Burns, who
supported the above statement, adding teat, when Jose
had his finger down the child's throat it struggled, and
tbat she begged Jose not to kill the child. She also
said that the child was alive when Jose put it in the pan
of water, and that she again begged hilt not, to kill it.
In a very severe crossexaminati .0 by Mr. Cole, the
girl stated that she had at first told the policeman that
she knew nothing of it, because she had promised Mat-
thews she would not tell, and she had also told hint a
different story, but she was now telling the truth. She
did not endeavour to prevent Jose killing the child, be-
cause a man was stronger than a woman, but she im-
plored him not to lsiil it. She bad not touched the body,
because she could not touch a murdered child.
Other witnesses were called, who proved finding the
bony in the pond, produced the rope, and a garment in
which the body had been wrapped. They also deposed
to the keeping the body, its prodection to the surgeon,
and its burial, and afterwarde its disinterment and repro-
duction to the Burgeon.
The testimony of two surgeons who hid examined the
child went to elm/that-the death was caused by suff .ca-
tion. They also described the injuries in the throat. The
appearances were consistent with Burns'staternent of what
had taken place.
Nash, a constable, said that when George was in cus-
tody, he told him that on Thursday morning he was at
Matthews's house. He had gone to bed. About four
o'clock in the morning he was called up by Jo•,e. On
going down he saw Matthews, Jose, and Burns stand-
ing in the kitchen. Jose asked him to help Mrs. Mat-
thews up stairs. He took hold of her to lead her up
staire and he then saw Jose stoop down where the child
Was crying on the floor, and take hold of the child, and
shove his two fingers into its mouth and kill it. In the
evening ho accompanied Jose to the pond. Jose carried
the child in a basket, and found a stone at the water's
edge, and with a piece of rope be tied the stone to the
child's neck and threw it into the pond. Matthews,
when in custody, asked if he thriught she would be hung.
She said she had never touched the child or killed it ;
they had done it between them. Jose afterwards re-
quested to see the constable, and he i•aid, as George had
said so much, he should tell the truth—that he called '
Georee up, and when he came down the child was dying
on the floor ; that George went to a cupboard and took
out a bottle containing some kind of a drug, and poured
the contents of the bottle down the child's throat,
and said that would soon do for it, and the child died,
and they afterwards threw it in the pond ; that the
drug was what they hae procured, and given Mat-
thews before her confinement to procure an abortion.
He said George had procured it, elatthewe had taken
asond me ofven it.
her. George said he had got vitriol and brandy
gi
Mr. Bevan was about to address the jury on behalf of
George, but was, interrupted by the Judge, who told
him he did not think there was any evidence to affect
George as regarded the murder; there might be as re-
garded the concealment.
Mr. Bevan then said he should at once sit down.
Mr. Cole then 'addressed the jury for Jose, ceutending
that there was no evidence against Jose except his own
statements and the evidence of the woman Burns. With
respect to his own statement% they were proved to be
false by the surgical evidence and as the statements of
the other prisoners were not evidence against him, the
case rested entirely upon the evidence of Burns. With
respect to Burns, he contended that, she being an ac-
complice and committed on the charge of murder her-
self, her evidence could not be acted upon by the jury
unless she was confirmed in some material particulars
with regard to Jose, and that' it had been shown she
had in several instances sworn falsely, and that her
story was altogether improbable.
Mr. Baron Martin, in summing np, said that he quite
Concurred in the opinion which some of the judges had
expressed, that an accomplice ought to be confirmed be-
fore a jury could safely act on his testimony, but, in his
opinion, in the present case Burns did not stand in the
position of an accomplice, for there was no evidence on
the depositions upon which the grand jury ought to have
been called upon to find a bill agaitist her for murder ;
but still, as she had 'been committed for trial on that
charge, she might know that, and might think that the
effect of giving evidence would be to free her from the
charge, and ,they should therefore lock upon her evi-
dence with suspicion. There was no evidence to fix
any one with the murder but that of Elizabeth Burns ;
still they were quite at liberty to act upon her evidence,
and, if they believed her, it was as foul a murder as
ever was committed as regarded the prisoner Jose.
A juror wished to ask the medical gentleman whether
so young a child could live five minutes with a man's
finger down its throat ?
The surgeon said, unless the air were perfectly ex-
cluded it could live much longer.
Another juror wished to know whether a man's finger
was long enough to exclude the air?
The surgeon said no doubt it was, if pressed against
the windpipe.
The jury retired for some time, and then sent in a
note to the judge; who sent for Sergeant Chaunell, and
they retired into their private room to consult toge-
ther. Baron Martin then came into court, and sent an
anseer, but in a few minutes he sent for the jury into
court.

HOME mom —CHEL3ISFORD, August 1.
(Before the Lord Chief Baron).
WOROP V. THE RASTERS COUNTIES RAILWAY CONIPANt
This was an action to recover damages from the defen-
dants for having failed to convey the plaintiff at .the
time fixed by the company in their time bills.
Mr. Hawkins 'yetis counsel for' the plaintiff ; Mr.'Boyill,
Q.C., and Mr.. Thorp, were for the comp?ny.
It appeared that the, plaintiff resided at Colchester,
and that be was surninoned to attend the Chelmsford
Quarter Sessions in October, 1854, as a juryman and took
a place in the train that was advertised to arrive iu
Chelmsford at five minute 4 to tell o'clock, which woUl4
have enabled him to be in court is sufficient time to .134
sworn upon the jury. Instead, however, of the train
starting at its proper time, it appeared that it was shunted
into a siding, where it was detained for more than 'an
hour, and did not arrive at Chelmsford until half-pa-t 12,
and during his absence he had been fined 40,4., at.cl 'he
had to pay that sum. The' present action was brought
to recover that amount, on the ground that the company
bad illegally brfoketi the contract they had entered into,
to convey thS plaintiff at the, time Specified in the tune
tables published by. the authority, of the company. :
• Mr'. Bevill urged, on behalf df, the defendants, that
there had been no c mtract by them to•carry the plain-
tiff positively at the time specified, but intre!y that they
wthild'itee all reasonable exertion tudo so, The excise

D trains were consequently compelled to -make me (tribe
, up line, and it watt absolutely necessary under these eV-
cunstances to detain the train by which the plaintiff
was travelling in order t. 3 prevent accident.
The Chief Baron, at the close of the case, expressed
his opinion that the plaintiff could not recover, . In the
first place he did not think any.such contract as the one
alleged in the declaration bad been made out ; and even-
supposing that it had, it appeared to him that it was no
undertaking to convey the plaintiff, under all c:rcutn-
-tances, at the time specified, and that in the case of an
accident, or any other unforeseen occurrence, the com-
pany would not be liable fur the train not arriving at
the time specified in the tables.
The plaintiff was therefore non-suited, leave, however,
being given to Hr. Hawkins to apply to the court upon
the point of law, if upon consideration he should feel
justified in doing to.

MIDLAND CIRO-ULT.—WARWICK, July 31.
CROWN COURT.—(B-fore Mr. Justice Cress well.)
SENTENCE ON THE REV. PATRICK KING.
This clergyman was brought up on Thursday to re-
ceive sentence.
The Judge said—Patrick King, I have to discharge a
most painful duty in passing sentence upon a clergyman
of the Church of England for a very serious misdemean-
our indeed. From the wording of the indictment, which
charges you with a common assault, it might seem of a
trivial character, because there was no bruise or bodily
harm ioflicted upon this infant ; but when the nature
of the assault is considered —that it involved the expo
sure of that child by the s►de of a road, the desertion of
that child, and that you must have been acting either
without the consent of the mother cr as an agent to a
wicked mother in deserting that child, and leaving it
on a public road—the offence assumes a very serious
aspect. One can fancy the strong feeling which may have
misled you on the occasion ;' but if we are not led to
expect from a clergyman of the Church of England that
he can resist temptation such as that of committing
an offence of this description, what may we expect
of those who, without education, without religious in-
struction, without a sense of their responsibility, are
tempted to conceal shame by dealing with infant chit
dren in such a manner: I discharge in the lightest pos-
sible manner the duty which I feel incumbent on me in
sentencing you, as I do, to imprisonment in the gaol of
_thiisnoun:y for six months.
The prisoner then bowed and retired.
The assizes terminated at 7 o'clock.

OXFORD CIRCUIT—MONMOUTH, AUG. 1.

The courts opened at 9 o'clock.
RIPE.
Garret Lancircte, 22, labourer, vats indicted for a
rape upon the person of Betsy Heard, at the pariah of
Bed was, on the 24 h of liay last.
The charge was most conclusively proved, the prisoner
having been in fact caught in the act by some parties who
were attracted to the spot on the road where the poor
woman bad been thrown down by her criesof "Murder."
He was found guilty, and sentenced to six years penal
servitude, the learned judge remarking that he bad com-
mitted the highest offence known to the law except that
of murder.

3fANSLArGHTER AT NEWPORT,
Peter O'Donnell, a sailor, aged 26, was indicted for the
manslaughter of John Quin, at Newport, on the 15'h
iflay last.
Mr. Skinner and Mr. Vaughan prosecuted ; and Mr.
Smythe defended the prisoner, who had been indicted
for wilful murder, but the grand jury threw out that
bill.

The evidence showed that on the 15th May there wa.
a fair at Stow hill, in Newport, and that several fights
took place near the booths. The prisoner and the de-
ceased were envaged in a fight when it was dark at night
After the men bad fought three or four rounds, the pri-
Boner was seen to strike, with something be bad in his
hand, at a man named Luff; after this he struck the
deceased on the shoulder blade, and the blood flawed
profusely. The deceased fell, and the prisoner jumped
upon him. lle then ran away, but was soon appre-
hended and identified. The wound inflicted upon the
decease.l was described by Mr. Bust, a surgeon, as three
inches deep ; it bad cut through a large vein, and caused
death in a short time. The whole facts were very con-
eusive against the prisoner, and he was found guilty.
Sentenced to four years' penal servitude.

ROBBERY, WITH VIOLENCE, AT NEISTORT.
Charles Hale. loseph, Domaine, and a young girl,
named Sarah Morgan, wt-re indicted for having Vio-
lently assaulted Thomas Thompson, and stolen 141 from
his person.

Mr. Smythe prosecuted, and Mr. Somerset defended
Dumaine.

The prosecutor was passing along a street in Newport,
near the Bridge Inn, about 12 o'clock at night of the
12th of July, when he saw the three priscnera together.
Dumaine followed the prosecutor for a short distance,
and asked him if he should carry his basket ; prosecutor
refused, and Dumaine pushed him against the girl, call-
ing him by an offensive name. The parties then went
on about 100 yards, when the girl took off Dumaine's
cap and threw it on the groUnd. Dumaine asked pro-
secutor for his cap, and when he said he had not got it,
Dumaine threatened to hit his head off, and directly
afterwards knocked him down. A regular scuffle and
fight ensued, in which other parties were concerned, and
iu this row the prosecutor had his coat and wai.tcoat
puiled off, and his money taken out of an inside pocket
in his waistcoat. In the course of further evidence, it
transpired that other parties, who were present at the
row, might have taken the prosecutor's money, and
that when the prisoners were immediately afterwards
apprehended nothing was found upon them. Under
these circumstances his Lordship stopped the prosecu-
tion, and directed a verdict of acquittal.

SOUTH WALES CIRCUIT.—BRECON, July 31.
.(Before Mr. Justice Crompton.)
MANSLAUGHTER.
John Prosser, a young farm labourer, was charged
with the manslaughter of Henry Davies, at St. Michael
Caen:it], on the Bth of April last.
It appeared in evidence that on the day in question
several farmers had met at the Six Bells public house,
in the village of Cwmdu, and that the prisoner and de-
ceased, who had been hauling lime, stopped there with
their carts and horses; they had some beer, and some
wrestling matches took place, in the course of which the
deceased was thrown heavily by the prisoner. Some
angry words passed, followed by blows, but the men
were at once separated by a farmer who was present,
and whose servant had also a horse and cart there ; he
then desired them to take their teams home, but they
had not gone far along the road when the dispute was
renewed, and according to the statement of the prisoner
the deceased threw stones at him. The servant lad with
the cart following, however, saw the deceased running
after the cart, in which prisoner was standing up, and
saw the latter raise a shovel that had been used for
loading lime, and strike the unfortunate man on the
head. The witness called out to his master, who was
crossing a neighbouring field, and they
conveyed the
unfortunate man to his home, where he lingered for
three days, when he died from the effects of a very se-
vere wound at the back of the left ear.
Verdict—Guilty. Sentenced to be imprisoned to hard
labour for 12 months.
SENDING A THREATENING LETTER.
Wm. Williams, lime burner, was charged with sending
a threatening letter to Evans Evans, with the view of
extorting money.
The letter which gave rise to this prosecution was one
demanding five pounds from the prosecutor, a respect.
able farmer at Llanelly, near A.bergavenny, for not
bringing forward a charge of attempting to commit a
rape upon the prisoner's wife.
The prisoner was undefended, but on cross-examina•
tion, the prosecutor admitted having kissed his wife while
engaged in planting potatoes on his farm, he also admitted
having taken hold of her dress and having endeauoured
to get her inside a barn, but be positively denied carry-
ing her into the barn or throwing her down.
Much amusement was occasioned by the examination
of an Irishman named Hammett, who avowed that he
had written the letter at the request of the prisoner,
and that be occasionally " gave advice" to people who
were too poor to go to a lawyer.
His Lordship, who animadverted very severely on the
conduct of the prosecutor, who is a married man, said
that he had great doubt whether in this case there had
not been, in the words of the statute, " reasonable or
probable cause " for the charge.
Mr. H. Allen, who conducted the prosecution, con.
tended that there was not sufficient, even if the pri-
soner's allegations were true, to amount to an attempt
to commit a rape.
The calks was then sent to the jury, who after being

His Lordship then') egged them not to be guided by
any opinion of his, at to give their verdict quite jade-
nendently of it.
The jury then said they bad agreed, and they found
Jose guilty of manslaughter, George guilty as an acces-
sory after the fact, and Matthews guilty of conceal-
ing the birth.
The Judge then said it was his duty to state that in
the paper the jury had sent in to him they had asked
him whether they could find Jose guilty of manslaughter.
Helmd some doubt about it, and had consulted his brother
Channel!, and the answer he bad sent the jury was that
he himself should either find him guilty of murder or
acquit him ; •but he did not know any legal obstacle to
their finding him guilty of manslaughter. The jury had
taken a most merciful view of the case. His opinion
certainly would have been that he should have either
found him guilty of murder or have acquitted him, but
,t was the verdict of the jury, and be should therefore
sentence Jose to be transported for life, and Matthews
and George to 12 months' imprisonment.
Every one was struck with thergross absurdity of the
verdict; for if they believed the girl a more horrible
'murder oanno be conceived if they did not behave bet

sroneialr v. MORGAN.--SEMICTION.-SPECIAL JURY.
This was an action brought by a widow named Mor
gan, keeping a small farm in Llandefalley, near Brecon,
to recover compensation for loss of the services of her
daughter. The defendant was also the son of a widow,
keeping a larger farm in the same neightourhcod, and
it appeared that he had been received as the honourable
suitor of the plaintiff's daughter fur more than three years,
and during that time had been in the habit of visiting her
at her mother's house, and escorting her to and from the
chapel. In the cour.e of last summer, however, it was
discovered by the plaintiff that her daughter was preg
flaw, and on calling upon defendant for an explanation
of his conduct and intentions he said that he could not
marry during his mother's lifetime without her consent,
and proposed that the young woman should be sent at
his etpense to Ancrystwith, and that the fact of her con-
finement should be kept secret. The mother indignantly
refused to accede to this proposition. The child was
born and was affiliated, the defendant sending a friend
before the magistrates to admit the paternity, and to
offer a weekly payment.
Mr. Grove, Q.C., who appeared for the plaintiff, con-
fined his address to a plain statement of the facts, re
marking that any high-flown appeals addressed to a spe-
cial jury would only recoil upon hitnFelf.
ilary Ann Morgan, a very modest-looking and rather
pretty girl, stated the circumstances of the courtship, and
deposed to repeated promises of marriage.
M:-. Giffard, who appeared for defendant, objected to
any evidence of promises of marriage being received.
His Lordship ruled that they were evidence so far as
to show the nature of the intimacy between the parties,
and the means used for effec ing the seduction of the
plaintiff's daughter.
Mr. Giffard, in Lis address to the jury, ridiculed the
i ea of an action of the kind being broupht against a man
who ,tood in the p ontion of a farm servant. He said
that the proper oourse had been taken in affiliating the
chil,), but the matter ought to have stopped there. Great
as hail been the misfortune of Mary Ann Morgan, he
considered it less than it would have been had she been
brought to miserable poverty by marrying his client,
a ben be had ac means of his own to support a family.
The jiiry having retired for an hour and a half, re-
turned a verdict for plaintiff—damages 401.
Another special jury case related to an encroachment
on a common ; and after occupying several hours re-
sulted in a special verdict subject to the opinion of the
courts above.

MIDD LESEX S PSSIUN S.

Before Mr. Pashley, Q.C., Assistant-Judge, and a
Bench of Magistrates, at Westminster.
The court sat yesterday to hear three appeals by spe-
cial appointment.
Benjamin Sharpe appealed against a conviction by
Mr. is. J. Ariustr,ng and Mr. J. Montgomery, for an
offence under the Nuisances Removal Act.
Mr. Bodkin appeared in support of the conviction,
and Mr. Hodges for the appellane.
After a short discussion it was arranged that, on an
a -pointed day, the assistant-judge should visit the spot
near flan well, where the alleged offence was committed,
the parties then to ab;de finally by the directions he
should give, after hearing the counsel on each side.
Thomas Strangs appealed against a conviction by Mr.
Seqe, police intwistrate, for an as--ault.
Mr. Seijeant Bal'entitle and Mr. Metcalfe appeared
for the appellant ; there was no counsel to support the
con victiop.
The complainant, upon whose evidence the appellant
was convicted, was a constable of the City police force,
named Monger, and the case was that one day in June,
the appellant, who is a grocer in Houndsditch, coin
mated an assault upon him in a carriage on the railway
between Fenchurch-street and St.ratterd of an indecent
nature. The magistrate convicted the appellant of a
common assault, and inflicted a penalty of 51., and the
present appeal was against that decision.
After the learned Ati-pwit had addressed the court a
great number of witnesses, including two magistrates
and a barrister, gave tho appellant the highest possible
character for morality and general good conduct for
forty years.
Tim magistrates retired to consider, and on their return
The Assistant Judge said the question they bad is
determine was, whether in law an assault had been corn•
witted on the prosecutor. The appellant bad been con•
victed of a common assault only, and the opinion of the
bench was that that conviction should he affirmed. The
appellant was not convicted of an indecent assault, and,
therefore, the court had no-. to deal with that question,
but, as the court was satisfied that the evidence made
out a common assault, the conviction would be con
firmed, with 40e. costs.

I L AMEETH. Delvaux, described as having no
occupation, and residing at the Exeter Hotel, Strand ;
Allan McPherson, a gentleman of property ; and Sarah
McPherson, his daughter, were charged with stealing a

The proseent rr statel that the previous evening, at his
eta!! at the Crystal Palace, he served tl,e prisoners with
some articles, and that while doing en he saw the prisonf.r
Delvaux nut something in his pocket. He soon after
triFteit a bracelet, a cigar case, and a blue bottle. He
called one of the constables, when they went after the
prisoners. As they got up to them a cigar-case was
flung away. A bracelet, a blue bottle, &c., were found
on the prisoner Delvaux.
Policeman White, 36 P, said that he had been to the
Exeter Hotel, and found that Mr. M'Pherson was a
miner, and a most respectably man.
Mr. M‘Pherson stated that there was no intention on
the part of Mr. Delvaux to steal the articles. He wag
wort respectably connected in Belgium, where his rela.
tions resided. The prisoner had been drinking cham-
pagne, and was a little elevated.
Toe prisoner Delvaux was remanded on bail. The
other prisoners were dr,ch trged.

ETA.MMERSMITH.—Jacob Sternfied, a simple ;oak: ing young German, who was described as a glazier,
living
in Whitechapel, was charged with being a suspeet,,:i
person, found in the dressing-room of Mr. Ernest John
Cre4ie, a gentleman residing at No. 5, St. Petersburg-
BayBwater.
Mary Ann Wcoi., one of the servants in Mr. Cregie's
house, said—On the previous afternoon I found the pri-
.,ancr in my master's dressing room. Prisoner was put-
ting two l ands of glass in the window. He had no autho-
rity from any person in the house to put them in. Ta o
of the p.l.lleR in the window had been broken. Prisoner
had his frame, glass, and putty with him. The dressinkf.
room window was on the second floor. I went oat f:r cab, and left-the front door open, and the gate also u„-
locked, and prisoner must have entered during my eh-
senoe. When I returned I heard a knocking up stairs,
and the ether servants told me Mr. Oliver's man bad
come to put the panes of glass in the window. None r.f
the servants let him in. We had expected Mr. Oliver's
man to come and repair the window. I went up string
and saw the prisoner, and I theugbt he was Mr. Olivei's
man, until a short time afterwards another man canna
and raid Mr. Oliver had sent him to put the glass in. I
told him Mr. Oliver had already sent a man, who
vat
then putting them in. He denied it, and was surprised
we ha I engaged another man. Mr. Oliver's man did not
go away, but went iota the drawing room and put in a
pane of glass there. The prisoner finished the windows,
and he was then given into custody.
John Falcher, of 13, Queen's-road, said—/ was en-
' gagial in putting a sash-line in the window of Mr.
Cregio's drawing.room on the previous afternoon, when
the prisoner came up with his frame, &c., and asked me
to open the gate. I thought he was Mr. OlivJr's man,
And I told biro to ring the bell. He came into the house,
And said, " {Were is the window ?" And I said, "Up
,tairs.," and he accordingly went up.
The Frisoner—l was passing with my frame, and I
:4391 two broken windows in the gentlernan'a house. The
witness was at the window, and I said, "If you please,
shalt I mend your windows?". He laughed and nodded
his head, and I went in.
The Witness—l think, sir, it is quite a mistake. The
prisoner came round looking for a job ; and seeing two
window, broken, asked me if he might mend them ; end
-lanistaking him for Mr. Oliver's rnr.n, told him to ring
the hell, without knowing what he said.
Mr. Dagman—Well, I think it is a mistake. It was
clear he bad no intention to steal anything, as nothing.
was missing. I shall discharge him, and I think he
anent to be paid for puL.ting the glass in.
The pris:incr, who had been in custody all night, was
then discharged.
The servant paid him .Is.for his labour. '
