The cloth having been removed, •
The PRINCE CONSORT rose and said—Al r
,and gentlemen, I prnOose to you, •• _erns Queen ;
inly she long ow2tiuue to possess that great bless-
ing,-the love and devotion of her subjects." (Great
cheering.)
'She PRINCE CONSORT--I have now to propose to
you, "The health of the Prince of Wales and the
rest of the Royal Family." Since I last attended
the Elder Brethren in this room it has pleased Al-
mighty God to remove from among us the last of
the children of King George 111., the revered an I
beloved Duchess of Gloucester ; the Queen has had
another daughter born to her; and our eldest
child, united to the husband of her choice, and who
is in every way worthy of her—(cheers)—has left
us for a distant country. I was happy to meet her
the other day, and to find her in the possession of
every domestic blessing. (Loud cheers.) The in-
terest and sympathy so universally shown by the
people of this country in that marriage could not
but be highly gratifying to the feelings of her pa-
rents. (Cheers.) I propose to you, " The health
of the Prince of Wales and the rest of the Royal
Family." (Loud cheers.)
The PRINCE CONSORT—GentIe m en, I have now
to propose to you, "The Army and Navy of Great
Britain." If this toast must be received by Eng-
lishmen at all times with feelings of pride and sa-
tisfaction, who could approach it at the present
moment, and under present circumstances, without
being impressed with feelings of admiration and
deep gratitude for the heroic deeds and sacrifices
with which our brave troops are struggling, not
only for the interests and the honour of
the country, but I trust in the cause of
civilisation, and the ultimate happiness of
millions of people now unfortunately in part
our enemies ? (Cheers.) May the Almighty con-
tinue to watch over our gallant countrymen in the
East, and may He continue to vouchsafe to them
uninterrupted victory. Their heroism and self-
sacrifice becomes most apparent when we consider
how small are the means with which so much has
been accomplished. The deepest responsibility at-
tachesto us that we should not remain satisfied with
the mere enjoyment of the advantagas and successes
which have been reaped by such self-sacrificing de-
votion, hut, by keeping our two noble services in
sufficient numbers, we should take care that the
tasks which from time to time may be thrown on
them for our advantage may not entail upon them
the almost certain immolation of those who are
called on to engage in battle. (Loud cheers.) I
beg to propose to you, "Prosperity to the Army
and Navy," and to couple with the army the name
of that gallant veteran Sir John Burgoyne, and
with the navy that of the First Lord of the Admi-
ralty, Sir John Pakington, who has lately been
called upon to fulfil the duties of that responsible
office.

Sir J. Burgoyne and Sir J. Pakington having
returned thanks for the Army and Navy,
The Deputy-Master proposed the health of the
Prince Consort.

The PRINCE CONSORT said—My lords and gen-
tlemen, you must allow me to return to you
my most hearty thanks for the kind reception you
have given to the toast which the Deputy-Mister
has proposed, and I beg to thank him for the kind
and flattering manner in which he hag spoken of
me. You are well aware that my duties with re-
gard to this corporation are merely those of a per-
son who watches anxiously, and I may say with
love, over the prosperity of the corporation ; but it
is with you, the Elder Brethren, and the Doputy-
Master, that the whole of the labour and work re-
mains, and to the admirable manner in which you
have performed your duties I beg leave on the pre-
sent occasion to refer. After reading some extracts
detailing what the corporation had effected in refer-
ence to lighthouses, &c., his royal highness con-
cluded by proposing " The Health of the Deputy-
Master, and Prosperity to the Corporation."
The DEPUTY-MAST/IR returned thanks.
The PRINCE CONSORT then proposed "The health
of her Majesty's Ministers."
The LORD CHLNCELLOR--May it please your
Royal Highness, my lords and gentlemen, —Your
Royal Highness cannot more deeply regret than I do
the absence of Lord Derby on this occasion, for this
is the second time I have been placed in the unfortu-
nate position of having, in consequence of the ab-
sence of the head of the Government, to return
thanks for the compliment paid to her Majesty's
Ministers, for which I was never destined, and for
which I certainly am not qualified. But I must,
as well as I can, perform the duty which has de-
volved upon me ; and I will endeavour, as briefly
as pos,:-ible, to express the thanks of my colleagues
and myself for the honour which has been conferred
urn us. It is not my intention, in an aszembly
which is necessarily composed of men of different
shades of political opinions, to attempt to exalt or
magnify any of the acts of the present Govern-
ment. I shall therefore not state that we have
never solicited office, that it was rather forced
upon us than courted by us ; nor will you under-
stand me as stating that when we entered
upon office we found ourselves surrounded by nu-
merous difficulties, and that wherever we turned
we certainly considered that we had most formid-
able difficulties to encounter. Much less will I state
that during the short time that we have been in
office we have seen the horizon gradually clear, and
all those difficulties which we had to encounter in
some degree removed, and the country brought
into a happier position than that iu which it was
placed at the time we entered office. All this Ido
not mean to state. (Laughter.) If there are facts
of that description, to those I will refer you ;
because I have been warned and instructed that it
is not becomitur in me to assume any merit what-
ever to the Government of which I am an unworthy

member for anyof its acts. We have en accused
of shortcomings—all I can say is, that they are
adapted to our term of office—(chcers and laughter)
—but if you will only give us an opportunisy by
extending that term, you possibly may find
there is no reams for any complaint of that
description. (Continued laughter.) His Royal
Highness has very properly compared the
constitution to a vessel. Well, we are intrusted
with the management of the vessel of the
State. I am now speaking in the presence of an
ancient corporation, which understands nautical
matters. Iu the first place, you will not dismiss
your pilots without an examination. You give
them at least a fair trial. Again, you would desire
that thelvessel should be steered according to a chart
and with some care in taking the soundings ;
and it would be wild steering, as his royal high-
ness has said, if we were to go on without ascertain-
ing all the shoals, and the rocks, and the quicksands
which may lie in our course. Well, it is necessary
we should have time for all this. You will not lay
down your buoys without ascertaining where the
shoals are—you will not erect your beacons unless
you know that there is a dangerous shore ; nor will
you put up your lighthouses unless you know ex-
actly from what point vessels are to be warned.
Can you, therefore, expect that those who are
intrusted with the management of the ves-
sel of the State—when, as his royal
ness has pointed n‘,t to you, Vie. :,auds and shoals
sr' continually slating and varying, and when you,
therefore, must accommodate your steerage to the
changes of them—will you require that we should
go rashly and recklessly on without sounding our
way ? (Great cheering and laughter.) All that
we ask, therefore, is time at least to enable us to
ascertain what is the proper course which we ought
to steer, and I am quite sure that such is the gener-
ous feeling of the English people that they will be
disposed to give us a fair trial, and that if they be-
lieve we are conscientiously determined, each of us,
to perform our duty in our several departments,
they will not feel the slightest inclination to dis-
miss us without a trial ; and all we can promise is,
that if you will give us your confidence we will en-

deavour to discharge our duty. We claim no merit
in this—we know that all Englishmen who are
pl teed in the G..vernment would do the same. We
ask for nothing else than that which every English-
man alway 4 expects and always meats with ; and
we trust that, with that confidence iwpartei to us,
as long as we havo the management of that noble
ve,4sel—the cinst,ttition of this country—wa shall
steer into a safe harbour, and when the time comes
th: twe shalt v(-r i,'ttfi to a new ebtnmand you
will find ihac the Vessflii'aiinA been in the slightest

Sir JAMES GRAHAM—May it pleaae.your Royal
Highness, my lords and gentlemen,—l am ex-
tremely sorry that no other honorary member of
this corporation should be present, and that the
duty should 'devolve on me, the least worthy
of those members, to return tlian'as on this oc •
casion. The 1101):C lord has anutnerated many
peraous of the highest distinction who have been
associated from time to time with this ancient
cerporation. I am afraid that, from• lapse of
time, I am now the senior of those honorary
brethren ; and, although I have enjoyed that
honour for 25 years, I cannot fail even now
to return thanks for the great honour that was con-
ferred on me when —not as a member of the
Government, but, having endeavoured to serve the
public in the high office of First Lord of the Ad-
miralty, when I retired from office, I received the
great distinction of being elected a member of this
corporation. That has always commanded my
affection for this corporation. The Deputy-Master
has announced to us, what lam sure we must hear
with regret, that he is about to vacate the chair of
Deputy-Master. He has made some allusion to
inquiries which are about to be instituted into this
corporation. This is an age in which nothing hardly
is taken for granted, and every thing is the subject-
matter of suspicion ; and even the conduct of this
corporation, although lately renovated by the in-
tervention of Parliament, is about to undergo fur-
ther inquiry. I, like the Deputy-Master, well
knowing the conduct of this corporation, twice hay-
iug had official connexion with it, and having been
concerned in the Act of Parliament, to which I
have referred, continuing to this corporation and
renovating its authority and powers, so far from
flinching from that inquiry, I rejoice that it is
about to be instituted, because I feel satisfied it
will appear that this corporation has not neglected
its duties ; that with increased powers it will add
to its reputation and increase its usefulness ; and
that, deriving its charter as far back as the reign of
Henry VIII., its powers will be banded down to
posterity unimpaired, and it will be remembered
that when your Royal Highness, the Consort of the
Sovereign, was the Master of this corporation, and
when my gallant friend who now is Deputy-Mas-
ter,
,aided your Royal Highness, changes were in-
troduced which had the salutary effect of restoring
anything which was imperfect in the constitution
..f this corporation, and which have greatly added
to its dignity. I return you my sincere thanks.
Mr. HENLEY—My Lords and Gentlemen,—Hav-
ing been requested to propose a toast, by permission
of his Royal Highness I have to propose to you
" British Ships and British Seamen," and to couple
with it the health of the Right Hon. Stephen Lull-
ington, Judge of the Admiralty Court. Iu this
assembly is is hardly necessary for any one to say
a word in favour of British ships or British
seamen. surrounded as we are by many who are
distinguished as British seance n, ausi who have
had the command of British ships, it would be pre-
sumptuous in me to say one word in their favour ;
but it having been brought to the notice of this
party what commerce is, I must say, what would
commerce or merchants be if we had notaships to
carry merchandise from one part of the world to
the other ? Of whet use would the cotters or the
silk in any other part of the world be if we bad not
ships and seamen to bring it home to us I have
been requested to join with this toast the health of
a right hon. venerable, and learned judge now pre-
sent. That learned person has had no small oppor-
tunity, in the course of his official business, iu the
cases that have been brought before him, small in
number with reference to the whole maritime ship-
ping of this oountry, of hearing rather than seeing
what the risks, what the dangers, what the difficul-
ties are that seamen have to encounter. When
wrecks take place, and matters relating to salvage
are brought into the Court of Admiralty, then all
the dangers that have been undergone are brought
so far as evidence is concerned, before that Court,
but we must all feel how far evidence must fail in
conveying that which is a reality. Consider for a
moment those dreadful cases of collision when—in
the dead of night it may be—suddenly a number of
human beings are plunged into the ocean, and
seen no more. These are the cases that come before
that venerable and learned judge, and he will be
able to give us some notion of what dangers and
risks the seaman runs. We owe them all a deep
debt of gratitude. It it; from the maritime navy of
this country that seamen for our Royal Navy are
to be supplied. It iE the great source whence sea-
men come ; it contributes greatly to the strength of
this empire, and I hope the day will never come
when the mercantile interest and the shipping of
this country will be less than it is now. I fervently
hope it will continually increase. I have no mis-
trust in the energies of my countrymen, and I have
no doubt that whatever the necessities of the coun-
try require they
will he always found ready to
supply. I beg to propose to you, " British Ships
and British Seamen ;' and to connect with it the
health of the Right lien. Stephen Lushington,
Judge of the High Court of Admiralty.

for the great assistance which on all occasions they
have rendered me. The right hoe, gentleman who
addressed you last coupled my name with this
toast—" British Ships and British Seamen." Hav-
ing some coguizauce so far as a landsman can have,
of the dangers and difficulties that attend British
ships and Briti-h seamen, it has ever been my hope,
and I do entertain a confident hope, that the in-

when I hear of arguments addressed in other places
to the effect that this great country, with its mag-

country ever had, should for a moment be left in a
position to fear aggression from any quarter.
(Cheers.) I wish not to azsume a threatening tone,
but I wish to see perfect independence, perfect fear-
lessness of any possibility of attack ; and I feel with
regard to the navy that the prosperity of your mer-
cantile interests, and advancement of your mercan-
tile navy, will afford 'the greatest assistance that
you can possibly resort to in time of need. I fear
that many gentleman whom I have the honour to
address have little notion of the increased com-
merce in the seas surrounding Great Britain. It is
not of British vessels we speak every day, but our
ports, especially the port of Llv,re„ul, are so
thronged with yeeEcla hum every part of the world,
and cepecially from the United States of America,
that I speak the truth when I say that within the
last two months of my time one half of it has been
engaged upon foreign vessels. From the very
mouth of the Mersey down to the coast of Ireland
—there it is, I regret to say, that we have had
some of the most unfortunate collisions and the
greatest loss of life. I will not trespass further
upon your kind indulgence. I will not follow the
example of my noble and learned friend the Lord
Chancellor, who, while professing to state nothing,
states everything in the most satisfactory foim
(cheers and laughter) ; but I cannot help giving
ate kind hint to my old friend. He gave a beauti-
ful description of the vessel of the State, with
skilled seamen, and with pilots taking all possible
precautions to convey that vessel in safety to port.

But he forgot one circumstance—it is possible that
the vessel of the State may be " under manned."
(Great laughter and' cheers). Now' that is rather
an important point in navigation. Let-me remind
him—for he was originally a sailor, and be was an
actiVe sailor, and possesses all the eleqnence that
belongs t.o a sailor (renewe 1 laughter)—let we re-
mind him that it is as well to be thor, nehly

Th = CHANCELLOR of the EXCaEQUER—S:r, we
have heard much to-bight in favour of this ancient
and famous corp,‘ration, of which your Royal Ilieli-
ness is tie M inter, and of which we have the hoeor
and the heppiness to he the guests ; but I would say
one word in favour of another corporaiou, not as
ancient, but equally famous ; and as it is the ellen—
teristic of &eat minds to feel no j,:ti,aisey v• heti an
object of rivalry-is proposed, I shall not offend any
brother, whether honorary or actual, if I oiler a toast
to the acceptance of those who are present—it is,
of the enterprise and energy of
the toast of an institution, the principal authorities'
of which are present at this table, "the Governorand ,DapirtyGovernor of the Bank of England."
(Cheers.) That is a corporation which has at all
times since its institution exercised a great in-
fluence ever the fortunes of this country, and has
generally possessed its respect ; but I believe, and
I deem it a very fortunate circumstance, since the
distinction has devolved on me of proposing the
health of those geutlemen, that there has been no
time when the Bank of England and its directors
stood so high in public estimation as at the present
moment. (Cheers.) This country, sir, is only gra-
dually recovering from that great convulsion which
extended almost over the whole of Europe and the
most important portions of America during the last
autumn, and which seems the periodical and inevi-
tablett that
ae
t h
period,consequenceumhuman
irace.
But, sir, we may recollect that at
although this country, from its large
transactions, is more susceptible of such convul-
sions than any other portion of the globe, it, com
paratively speaking, suffered less, and the credit of
this country was assisted and maintained mainly
by the wisdom and the energy and the resources of
the Bank of England. which were employed on that
occasion. (Cheers.) Sir, the authorities of the Bank
exercised at that crisis those high qualities that
command the approbation and respect of mankind.
I do not know of any instance iu which there was
such a happy union of prudence and of courage, of
sympathy and of firmness, and, above all, of that
fertility of resource which at moments of emergency
proves that men are equal to the occasion. Sir, at
this moment we are closing in the House of Com-
mons the labours of a committee which now for
nearly two years has been investigating the princi-
ples of our monetary system, and the application of
those principles under the direction of the Bank of
England. That committee has only closed its la-
bours within a few days—l might even say a few
hours. That committee was numerous as regards its
members, and censisted of distinguished men of all
parties, representing every shade of opinion on the
subject connected with that inquiry which they were
pursuing ; and of course many different opinions
have been a ',vented in that committee, and diffe-
rent reforms have been recommended for evils
which all acknowledge. But there was one subject
on which all were unanimous, and that was in ap-
probation of the conduct of the Batik of England
and of those who directed its management an i
councils during that period, especially when all its
resources were put to the straiu and when the
higher qualities of the human mind were cdled
into play. I therefore, sir, feel very great satisfaction
that, with the permission of your Royal Highness,
I have now to propose to you "the health of the
Governor and Deputy-Governor of the Bank of
England," and perhaps I maybe permitted to make
an observation which is unfortunately personal.
I may be permitted to say that it has been allotted
to me, not without propriety—for I believe there
is no person who has more opportunities of being
able to appreciate the qualities and conduct of those
gentlemen and of their predecessors who have filed
those places than the individual who is entrusted
with the management of the finances of the country.
1 am quite convinced that it is utterly impossible
to conduct that management with any prudence
and satisfaction unless there exist between the
Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Governorand
Deputy-Governor of the Bank of England the ut-
most confidence. I hope that confidence is reci-
procally advantageous in some degree to both
parties ; but for my own part I can truly say the
advantages are incalculable, and that 1 have on all
occasions received from those gentlemen support
and advice thatfor the public service is inestimable.
I beg, therefore, to propose "the health of the Go-
vernor and Deputy-Governor of the Bank of Eng-
land." (Cheers.)
The GOVERNOR of the BANK of ENGLAND having
returned thanks,
Sir J. PAKINGTON proposed " the health of the
Lord Mayor ;" who returned thanks in suitable
terms.

Th 9 DEPUTY MASTER proposed " the health of
the Rev. Dr. Cureton ;" to which the rev. gen-
tleman briefly replied.
The PRINCE CONSORT neat proposed "the health
of the strangers present;" which was duly re-
sponded to by the Duke of MONTROSE.
The company then separated.

COURT OF BANKRUPTQY.

IN RE TOIVWND-THE BANKRUPT MEMBER FOR

GREENWICH.

This was the adjourned examination meeting in
the case of John Townsend, auctioneer, of Green-
wich, and one of the representatives in Parliament
if that I,or, ugh. No accounts had yet been filed.•
Mr. Linklat, on behalf of the 'oaukrupt, stated.
that the accounts were iu a very forward state, and
the accountants (Messrs. Buller and Canniugs) had
brought into curt some supplementary ledgers to
show that some diligence had been used in the pre-
paration of the accounts. There had been some
deity originally ; but the accounts ti►onld now be
filed in a fortnight from that day. As the aseignee
would requi e some time to investigate them, it
was proposed to take au adjournment for about five

Mr. Lawrence opposed the a‘ljoun.ment. The'
b Inkrup:cy was on the 29th March, upwaids of
three months since. Whether from the pressur -
of his Parliamentary dutie's, or some other cause,
the bankrupt had rendered no accounts, and the
imitates hi►d produced nothing to the otlicia.lassignee.
At the laritiiktirig, on. the 21st May, the banktupt
ilucceedefl in"getting ant adiewil.mont, %hough it
was shown that he had done nothing towards his.,
accounts. As he enjoyed the privilege of Parlia-
ment he set the protection of this court contemptu-
ously at defiance. The creditors (one of whom for
9001. be represented) were put to great expense by
these repeated adjournments ; they suspected that
the bankrupt was merely fighting against time. If
he chose to take an adjournment sine die, let him
do so, with protection if he needed it, and let him
come up when prepared,-and not put the creditors
to this continual expense.
Mr. George, for Mr. Shepherd, the petitioning
creditor, asked fcr an adjournment sine die.
The Commissioner—Who represents the as-
signees ?
Mr. Tucker—l do.

Mr. Lawrance—The assignee is Mr. Wallace,
who was Mr. Townsend's chairman at the election,
or the chairman of the Townsend Fund.
Mr. Linklater objected to the adjournment sine
die. The bankrupt was doing all in his power to
satisfy his creditors. He bad sought to carry out
a compromise, but had not yet succeeded. Since
the last meeting he had exerted himself in prepar-
ing the accounts, which were very voluminous, the
trading having been extensive. As the accounts
would be ready in a fortnight, it would be a harsh
measure to make an adjournment sine die. Some
creditors might wish it ; the motive was not diffi-
cult to guess.
The Commissioner—How many adjournments
have there been ?

Mr. Lawrance—Two. If your Honour does
grant another adjournment, I trust you will impose
some conditions as to the deposit of costs. Not a
farthing has been realised ; even the household
furniture has not been sold ; and there is a man in
possession from this court, eating up the estate.
The bankrupt is in residence, and, of course, not
anxious to precipitate the case.
His Honour was willing to grant another ad-
journment. What deposit was the bankrupt pre-
pared to make ?
Mr. Linklater said, nothing. It would be a most
dangerous precedent to establish, that the bank-
rupt should pay the costs of any other creditors than
the assignees.
His Honour was not prepared to do that.
Mr. Tucker said the assignees had been charged
with not doing their duty ; but they had adver-
tised the property for sale next week.
Mr. Lawranco said he opposed for Mr. Winn, a
creditor for nearly 1,0001., the late partner ot the
bankrupt.
The Commissioner=bid he take part in the
choice of assignees ?
' Mr. Lowrance said his iitsec' unts were not then
made out.

The Coramisiuoner—l shall adjourn the case till
Friday, August 13, the bankrupt to deposit with
the messenger the expenses of the day.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

HOME CIRCUIT.—HERTFORD, July 9.
The business of this court commenced on Thurs-
day by the opening of the commission for Hertford-
shire by Mr. Baron Bramwell, and this morning
his lordship sat iu the Crown Court to dispose of
the cases in the gaol calendar, it bring arranged
that the civil business is not to be takenuntil Mon-
day. There are only eight prisoners for trial, and,
with one exception, the charges are of au ordinary
character.

Henry Arnold, 32, was charged with the wilful
murder of Sarah Jana Butler. Mr. Clark appeared
for the prosecution.
The learned judge said he saw by the calendar
that the prisoner was stated to have escaped from
a lunatic asylum, and he was informed that ho was
not in a condition of mind to plead to the charge ;
and, if this was the case, it would be useless to
empanel a jury to try him. He should be glad,
therefore, to have some further information upon
the subject.
Mr. Hatchard, the governor of the gaol, said he
believed that the prisoner was perfectly aware of
the position in which he stood, and of the nature
of the inquiry that was about to be entered into,
and he had written a number of questions that he
intended to ask the witnesses.
The prisoner was then asked in the ordinary
form whether he was guilty or not guilty, and he
replied, "No—not guilty."
Baron Bramwell asked the prisoner whether he
would like to have counsel to defend him?
The prisoner replied that he could plead for him-
self.
The learned judge then made some further in-
quiries of Dr. Davis, the medical officer of the
prison, and the pi isouer's brother, who was in at-
tendance, and he at length said he thought it would
be better that a plea of not guilty should be tit-
tered, and that all the facts of the case should be laid
before the jury. He a: the same time requested
Mr. Dashwood to watch the case on behalf of the
prisoner.
The learned counsel for the prosecution having
briefly stated the facts of the case, the following
evidence was adduced :
Mrs. Elizahe:h M.rriaßroye said—l am the
wife of Mr. Ci-orge Broye, chemist, of Cheshunt.
The deco sod lady was my sister, and she was on
a visit to us on the 15th of June last. On that
dry we had gone to see a lady named Prior, at
Brozbourne, and set out on ourret urn about a quar-
ter past 8 o'clock in the evening. When we had
arrived near Mr. Cozen's farm I saw the prisoner
coining towards us, and as lie appeared to be tipsy
I moved on one side out of his way ; and when I
got near him he cause up to me and said, " You
have got my father's money. Ho was an entire
stranger to me. I walked on, and almost imme-
diately afterwards I heard the sound of a blow, and
upon looking round I saw the prisoner in the act
of beating my sister upon the head with a heavy
stick. I screamed and the prisoner went away,
and I saw a man go up to my sister ; and I returned
to her, and found her lying on the ground iesensi-
ble, and one of her eyes was closed up and her face
was bleeding. Dr. Ashbury came up soou after-
wards, and she was removL d to my house, and
died on the following morning at half-past 1 o'clock.
The only words she uttered were, " Oh dear," once
or twice.

By Mr. Dashwood—l did not say a word to the
prisoner before he said I had got his father's money.
After he had made the attack on my sister he put
the bludgeon upon his shoulder and walked quietly
away, and he seemed perfectly calm and collec`ed.
Mary Anne Carter, OP vife of a I,l)Juring, man
re-iding n ar the spot, said that she saw the two
ladies pass her cottage, and immediately afterwards
she heard screaming, and upon looking out she saw
the prisoner striking one of the ladies with a stick.
He struck her two blows on the temple and a this d
on the top of her head, and after th. last blow she
fell to the ground apparently insensible.
The bludgeon with which the fatal act had been
committed was here produced. It was a most for-
midable weapon, apparently a hedge stake, and was
at least six inches iu circumference and two feet in
length.
A person named Abbey, living in the neighbour-
hood, deposed that he went after the prisoner, and
found him walking quietly along the road with the
stick over his shoulder. He said to him, " You
villain, what have you been doing to that lady ?"
The prisoner made him no answer, but walked on.
Daniel Carter, the husband of the former witness,
proved that he went after the prisoner and stopped
}aim, and took from him the bludgeon that had ticen
produced.
The prisoner here interposed, and said he w wished
