LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMAER 25, 1858.

I LAW INTELLIGENCE. (THIS DAY.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before the Lords Justices.)
THORNTON V. JOBSON.

This was a petitionto strike Out a claim of £1,500 against
the estate of John and Robert Jobson, by their bankers,
under articles of indenture by,which they considered they
had a preferable claim on the joint and separate estates of
the bankrupts.
Lord Justice Turner was of opinion that the claim of the
bankers could not be allowed, and referred to the Commis-
sioner in Bankruptcy to decide whether the appellants
should have their costs of suit.

Lord Justice Knight Bruce concurred.
APPEALS-PRIDE V. PDOKS-JUDGMENT.

Lord Justice Knight Bruce, in delivering judgment, said

—The controversy in this case is as to the due construction
to be put upon the residue bequest in the will of the late
Mr. Thos. Webb in 1805. The testator died in Dec., 1808.
The contention in this case arises between the testator's
great-grandchildren and the children of his widow by
her second marriage and the heir-at-law, as to which of
them was entitled to the residue 44 the testator's property
under his will and codicil. His,
lordship was of opinion
that the testator had not disposed'sf the residue of his pro-
perty by his will, and that there was an intestacy as to his
residue, and that the heir-at-law was entitled to take
the residue in preference to the present clahnants, the
grand-children of the testator.

Lord Justice Turner said—This case comes before us
upon two appeals from a decision ef,the Master of the Rolls
finding that, according to the true construct the tes-
tator's will, his great. grand children were entitled to take
the residue of his property, amouhfing to about £33,070
in Bank 3 per Cent. Annuities. llislordship, after consi-
dering the terms of the bequest, and referring to several
other clauses in the will, came to the same conclusion as
Lord Justice Knight Bruce, that there was no bequest of
the residue of the testator's property in the events which
happened ; that there was an intestacy as to the residue of
his personal property taken by his heirs-at-law.
The order of the Master of the Rolls was discharged.
Of consent of next of kin, costs to be paid out of the
funds.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—(This Day.)

OLD COURT. .

(Before Baron Brapiwell.)
EVADING TUE BANKRUPTCY LAWS.

Lewis Lewis, 38, draper, was indicted for feloniously
omitting to surrender himself after being declared bank-
rupt, and also for removing and coAcealing his books.
The facts of this case have repeatedly appeared in The
Sun while the prisoner was under Oxamination before the
magistrates. . _

The jury had not returned their verdict when our repor-
ter left.

NEW COURT,
(Before Mr. Justice Hill.)
THE TURKISH PIASTRE CASE.

Antoine Aime Hugon and Ingon Reverdy, the former
described in the calendar as a traveller, aged 26, and the
latter a merchant, aged 46, were indicted for unlawfully at-
tempting to make coin resembling, and with intent that
such coin should resemble and pass ai the copper coin of a
foreign prince, to wit, the Sultan of Turkey.
Mr. Sergeant Parry and Mr. Poland conducted the pro-
secution, and Mr. Robinson and Mr. Sleigh defended the

prisoners.
Mr. Sergeant Parry having stated the case to the jury,
called

Mr. David Davis who said—l am a machinist, and carry
on business in Collingwood-street, Blackfriars. I first saw
HUgon in July. Aime, the younger prisoner, asked me if
I could make a coining press, and he showed me a copper
coin as a specimen of what he wished it to produce, and
asked the number the press would make per minute. I told
him with sufficient power it would make 60 per minute. I
showed him a model of a press in use at the Royal Mint. I
asked him £3OO for making the press. He offered £250, but
I refused to take that sum. No agreement was made at
that visit. They offered £lOO in money and £125 in bills.
They left with the impression that if I found the bill to be
good in the City I would take them. The coin they showed
me was a copper one, a little larger than our penny. In two
days after they left, they returned, and I told them I would
not take the bills. Boiserolle (who is not in custody) was
indignant at my determination, but ultimately an agreement
to make the press was drawn out, and I was told to take
it to Chatham-place, where it was to be signed. On going
there, I saw Re4terdy for the first time. Boiserolle signed
the agreement in presence of the two prisoners. It set forth
that the press was to be made in six weeks ; the sum to be
paid was £270, £lOO of which was to be paid down. The
£lOO was brought to me at my residence the same after-
noon. As I proceeded with the work, Airue called to see
how I was getting on. Reverdy never came with him. I
made some die blocks for Aime soon after taking the order
for the press. I made sixteen ; ho said he should want a
great quantity of them. I delivered them to the die-sinker's
by Aime's orders. I received some of the dies back in a
state for 'coining. After the dies were returned, I saw
Aline very often ; indeed, so often that it became quite an-
, noying. On one occasion I asked him if the engraving did not
represent the Turkish Sultan's signature. He said no, and
produced some gold coins, and made some explanation,
which I did not understand, to show that it was not the
Sultan's signature. I had not finished the press on the
10th Sept., but seeing he did not understand :the working
of the machine, khad it fixed temporarily to show that the
work was right. I told Aimo I should want some pieces
of copper to try it, and asked him to get some cut out by
their own machines. I received some copper from him
through a Mrs. Kemp, Soho. It was good enough to make
coin. I wished to try the machine to see whether the work
was right. I ultimatelycommunic,ateelwith the Turkish Am-
bassador. The press never left my premises. I gave the
dies to the police in consequence of directions I received from
the Embassy. The dies before me are the same. They
only required hardening to be fit for use.
Examined by Mr. Robinson—l have made coining presses
for the Royal Mint for exportation, but never for private
individuals. Everything I told to Boiserolle he repeated
to Aime, and he told me the purport of his observa-
tions. I did not understand a word Boiscrolle said. I went

to the Turkish Ambassador before I received any infor-
mation. The reason r went to the Embassy was in conse-
quence of the circumstance that took place in Birmingham.
I don't know anything about Turkish coins. When Aime
showed me the gold piece I saw there was a difference
between it and the copper one, but I did' not understand it.
Examined byMr.Sleigh—l have made manydies for foreign
coins. I only make the plain steel faces, but then they are
taken away to be engraved. I have made dies of foreign
coins for private individuals. I have made dies for the
purpose of making Mexican and Peruvian coinage, but
I did not get the orders direct from the Government. I
received the orders from respectable parties, who had en-
gaged as die-sinkers for years in this country. I don't
recollect saying Ovord to Aime about making the Mexican
dies. Never showed him my book with any entries
relative to the Mexican dies. It waslnine or ten days
before I went to the Embassy that I made the remark
about the die representing the Sultan's' signature.
M. Thomas, the die-sinker, was the next witness ex-
amined. His evidence was to the effect that Aime repre-
sented to him that the dies he wished him to engrave were
to replace others that had been broken in the ordinary
course of work. Boiserolle was introduced by him to me as
an agent of the Turkish Government.
From the number of witnesses to be examined the case
will occupy the whole of the day.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.--(This Day.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET..

AGOBAVATED ASSAULT ON A MOTHER BY HER SON.
—Charles Radford, 29, a seaman, wearing a Crimean medal,
was charged with violently assaulting Mrs. Louisa Rad-
ford, artifioial flower-maker, of 23, Burlington-arcade, and
also with breaking several valuable looking-glasses and
other property.
The prosecutor (who could scarcely give her evidencefrom
emotion),said:she was a widow, andthe prisoner was her son.
She had brought him up respectably,. and given him a good
education. He had lately returned from sea, and last night
he came to her house, smashed open the door, made a blow
and a severe grasp at her mouth, smashed three large look-
ing-glasses, and other property of the value of 5.50, and
then got her in a corner of the stairs and prevented her
from calling for assistance by holding her mouth.
Butcher, 137 C, said that on the previous night he was
on duty near Burlington-arcade, when the man at the gate
told him there were screams of "murder" at 23, and when
he got to the door he found the prisoner with a poker
which he had broken in three pieces, at his feet. Before he
(the constable) could secure him he seized ' a pair of tongs
and smashed a valuable glass. The prosecutrix's mouth
was scratched. On taking the prisoner into custody he said
he would do something worse the first time he had a
chance.

Mr. Bingham asked the constable what state the prisoner

The constable said he had been drinking a little, but was
not drunk.

The prisoner, in his defence, made several charges of an
infamous nature against his mother, and then said he had
been out all day looking for work, and on coming home
found the door shut, and certainly pushed it open, and as
soon as he did so his mother cried out '" Murder I" and be
put his hand on her mouth to prevent her causing a dis-
turbance., What else he did he did not know, for he got
nearly mad.
Mr. Bingham said ho had been now nearly 20 years in
his painful occupation, and had soon in too many cu ZeSl the
extent to which human nature would degrade itself, but in
his long experience had never seen a powerful man who
would so assault a woman, and that woman his mother, mid
then aggravate that offence by uttering such things as pr-
soner had done. Unfortunately the damage was out of hia
power, but for the assault on his mother he should at one e
commit him for two months for an aggravated assault on; a
woman.

THE TRIAL AND CONVICTION OF
N. DE MONTALEMBERT.

THE SUPPOSSED POISONING OF TWO
CHILDREN BY LOZENGES.

The adjourned inquest upon the bodies of James
and Betty Walton, the two children of Mr. Thomas
Walton, farmer, of Lever Edge, Great Lever, was
resumed on Tuesday afternoon, at the Bradford
Arms, Great Lever, before Mr. Rutter, coroner. It
will be remembered that the adjournment took
place in order to have an analytical examination
of the stomachs of the children, and of some of the
peppermint lozenges with which they were sup-
posed to have been poisoned.
Mr. John Carruthers, surgeon, who gave evidence
at the previous inquiry, was further examined,
and stated that he had not been able to form any
other opinion than the one he had already expressed.
He had suspected that there was poison in the
stomachs,but the appearances both before and after
death were such as might be produced by natural
causes. Inflammation of the stomach and bowels
frequently occurred without any poison being taken,
and was often caused by cold. There had been a
great deal of bowel complaint recently in the
neighbourhood of Bolton, and he could not under-
take to say that the cases of these children were
not ordinary ones of that kind ; yet he thought they
appeared sufficiently suspicious to require invest'.
gation. He had never examined the stomach of
any person who had been poisoned by arsenic.
Mr. Daniel Stone, professor of chemistry to the
Royal Manchester School of Medicine, said that on
Thursday afternoon he received from Police-consta-
ble Thos. Holland a jar containing about two ounces
of a yellow glary fluid, mostly bile, which he was
instructed to analyse. After a searching exami-
nation, by the most approved methods known,
he was unable to discover any trace of poison. He
received, at the same time, a quantity of peppermint
lozenges, which he also tested. He found them to
be free from arsenic ; but they were largely mixed
with plaster of Paris, which was unwholesome and
likely to cause irritation, but not to such an extent
as to produce death.
The coroner congratulated the jury upon the
satisfactory termination of the inquiry, and said he
thought they could come to no other conclusion
than that,, the children had died from inflammation
produced by natural causes.
The jury returned a verdict to that effect.

(From the Tines.)

" The Revolution," said Vergniand, " like
Saturn, is devouring her own children," and the
Empire is destroying the first and noblest of her
ornaments. The coup d'etat of December 2, 1851,
successful as it was over the Chambers and the
Constitution, utterly failed to conciliate to the
Throne of the new Emperor the support of men
who had achieved character and position under the
preceding 30 years of liberty, too lightly prized
while enjoyed to be deeply regretted when lost.
Almost alone among the class to which he belonged,
M. de Montalembert at that trying moment stood
forward to give his moral and intellectual support
to the Imperial Throne, while yet rockin from the
convulsion which established it. He did not wait
to see whether the new institutions would take
root in the soil of France ; he did not wait to see
whether the nation that ha'd done and suffered so
much and so vainly for its own liberties and the
general rights of humanity would tamely bow
beneath the iron rod of a master, but obeyed the
strong impulse of his nature, which led him to throw
himself heart and soul into the scale that bore the
Emperor and his future fortunes. We cannot now
estimate the exact value which should be attached
to such an adhesion ; but, if we are to judge by the
delight with which it was received, we should sup-
pose it to have been at the moment of no incon-
siderable importance. At any rate the Emperor
has known how fully to acquit himself of the ob li•
gation.

After a week spent in the mummeries of a hunt-
in masquerade, carried on in costumes that rec all
only too faithfally the most degraded period of the'
French Monarchy, the Imperial Court reposes from
its revels, and the serious business of life reclaims
the votaries of pleasure. - The brilliant crowd dis-
perses, and the attention of the nation is turned
from fantastic dresses and the vapid imitation of
Moorish chivalry to the tame formalities in the
midst of which the last spark of her remaining free-
dom was to be trodden out. The illustrious pri-
soner appears before the court commissioned to take
cognisance of his offence; but before what a tribunal
for such a defendant. Not for him was reserved a
trial before the highest judges of his county, whose
learning, rank, and gravity might, at any rate, lend
some show of dignity.ana ,respect for appearance
and propriety to the decision they were to pronounce.
No, the days arelong past since Liberty could claim
sufficient respect from a French Government to
cause it to put in motion even for her suppression
the higher powers and more deliberate agency of
the Superior Courts of justice. The cause on which
hung not only the personal liberty of an illustrious
citizen, but the freedom of thought, speech, and
writing in the land of Mirabeau, of Constant, of
Foy, of Casimir Perrier. of Thiers, and Lamartine,
was left to be decided, like a drunken row in a wine-,
shop, a petty theft, or a trifling assault, by the
agency of the Correctional Police. So feeble had
become the flame, so low did it burn in its socket,
that this slight blast from the chilling breath of
power was enough to extinguish it altogether. The
case of M. de Mdntalembert was too petty to require
the intervention of a jury, and the inferior magis-
trate had no duty but to listen calmly to the plead-
ings, and then to pronounce the sentence which the
code prescribes for the offence. M. de Monta-
lembert has received for his too fervent praise of
England and his the insufficient appreciation of the
merits of the Imperial system a sentence of im-
prisonment for six months and a fine of three
thousand francs. He has ventured to praise Eng-
land, and in so doing has been considered to have
pronounced the bitterest invective against France.
It were hard indeed if England did not sympa-
thise with a man who is made by the action of his
own Government a sort of martyr in our cause ; but
much more deeply, though unhappily more silently,
must the French nation feel that it has lost, not
only the ablest defendersof its liberties, but the last
wreck of those liberties themselves. M. de Monta-
lembert carries with him into his cell all that is
now left of a literature which for the last three
centuries has often instructed and often delighted
mankind. The language of so many noble writers
who found means to give utterance to their free
thoughts even amid the despotism which prevailed
before the Bastille was destroyed and while the
Sovereign retained the power of issuing lettres de
cachet, is now finally undermined by a more insi-.
dious foe. French may still continue the language
of business of diplomacy, and war, but its litera-
.ture is closed from this day forth until the nation
reconquer the right once more to give utterance in
a durable form to its feelings, its convictions, and
its aspirations. M. de Montalembert will be at-
tended to his prison by the sympathy and regret
of all free and honest men, and his sentence, at the
very moment while it is being executed, will be
rescinded by the unanimous verdict of the conscience
and intellect of Europe. By this condemnation he
will fall under the provisions of that shameful law
passed in the agony and helplessness occasioned by
the plot of Orsini, which places the. liberty and
consequently the life of a person convicted of such
an offence at the absolute disposal of the Executive
Government. We would not willingly add to the
danger of his situation any useless invectives and
complaints, but we at least preserve that freedom
which he has lost by attempting to exercise it, and
we should ill discharge our duty if we shrank from
inscribing this epitaph on the urn which holds the
ashes of what was once French literature.

We can understand that it may be a relief to the
Emperor for a moment thus to silence an acute and
unfriendly critic, and to exhibit one of the first men
of France as so slight a person as to be crushed
without effort beneath the smooth and easy pro-
gress of Imperial omnipotence. But we ask—and
all the more openly since no Frenchman is permit-
ted put the question—what a fate the Emperor
imagines he is preparing for himself and his dynasty
by proceedings like the present ? Does he believe
that because lie can annihilate the expression and
still the voice, he can also obliterate the thoughts
which burn for themselves a passage no tyranny
was ever able to obstruct through the breasts of a
silent but quick-witted people ? What his own
aspirations once were we have learnt from his own
published writings;—what they have now become
we learn from the prosecution of M. de Montalem-
bert. Have all the lessons of a long adversity, of a
severe imprisonment, of a protracted and dangerous
struggle with the hostile Legislature, been thrown
away, and does there remain 'nothing of these rude,
but we had hoped salutary lessons, except the dis-
position to inflict on those who thwart his will the
pains which he himself has endured? When will
Sovereigns remember that nations must be educated
as well as ruled, and that he who deliberately shuts
out from his subjects the ennobling influence of free
discussion is preparing them for Foss delusions,
unfounded panics. violent animosities, and furious
revenges,—in a word, for the indulgence of all those
evil passions which are best regulated and corrected
by an open heart and a well-disciplined intellect ?

For the time of year, about an average supply of boas t

All breeds met a dull inquiry, yet Monday's advance in the
quotations was supported. The show of sheep was only
moderate ; nevertheless, the mutton trade was heavy, at the
late decline in value. Although the supply of calves was
limited, the veal trade ruled very inactive. In prices, how-
ever, no quotable change took place. Pigs and mulch cows
were very dull, at almost nominal currencies.

CHURCH RATE LITIGATION.

Another church-rate went to the wall on "%Wanes.
day, by a decision of Dr. Lushington, the new judge
of the Arches Court of Canterbury, it being, we be-
lieve, the first judgment he has given in that capa-
city. The churchwardens of St. Neot's had suc-
ceeded in obtaining .a majority for a rate, and had
even polled the parish to obtain authority to pro-
ceed against defaulters in the Ecclesiastical Court ;
but the rate has been declared to be incurably bad,
on the ground of omissions in the assessment, and
of properties being rated at too low an amount.
Hitherto there have been conflicting opin-
ions whether what is known as the Small
Tenements Act, under which landlords may com-
pound for the rates of their tenants, applied to
church rates. The opponents of that exaction have
always denied that it did so, but, in most cases, the
parish authorities have refused to receive the votes
of the small occupiers, whose landlords paid the
rates. In April last, in the case of " Richardson
v. Gladwin and others," the Court of Queen's Bench
decided that the votes were with the landlords, and
not with the occupier. On Wednesday, however, Dr.
Lushington decided that it was lawful to apply the
Small Tenements Act to church-rates, seeing that
they were not included in the statue, which em-
braced poor and highway rates only. This dictum
will probably decide the fate of church-rates in
hundreds of parishes, for the majority of the small
occupiers arc strongly opposed to the impost, and
now their weight will be thrown into the scale of
the abolition party. It is to be noted, too, that
this decision is not that of a diocesan eourt, but
governs the whole of the province of Canterbury,
while it cannot be disturbed except by appeal' to
the Privy Council, which, it is certain, will not be
resorted to in this case. Dr. 6 Lushit n said
that
pointedly, that while he was most re
lucltlant
law to die
-
turb a rate, it must not be alleged
justice could not be obtained in church-ratecaasnd
cases
in an ecclesiastical court. Churchwardens, there-+
fore, who can succeed in getting only faulty rata,
had better pause for reflection ere they invoke the
power of the Court of Arches.
