CRIMINAL CorRT —This 'Day. •
OLD COURT.
. (Before Mr. 'Justice .Blackbnrn).
THE CHARGE OP scrtrilliG THE SHIP SEVERN%
Charles William Webb was indicted for feloniously,
upon the high sea, casting away and destroying a certain
ship called the Severn, with intent thereby to prejudice
divers companies and persons who had underwritten
certain policies of insurance upon the said ship ; and
Thomas Berwick, sailor: Lionel Holdsworth, broker;
and Joseph Stansfield Dean, agent, were also indicted for
feloniously aiding, abetting, and procuring Charles Webb,
to feloniously and maliciously cast away and destroy the
said ship. There were also indictments against the pri-
soners for conspiracy to defraud the London and Caledo-
nian Marine Iniurance Company, th 3 Friend-in-Need
Fire and Guarantee and Accidental Association and divers
other companies which had underwritten the ship and
freight.

The investigation of this case, it will bo recollected, oc-
cupied many days at the Mansion-house, and the evidence
having been published at great length on that occasion, it
is unnecessary to repeat it again to-day. The ship was
lost off Cape do Verds, in consequence, it was alleged, of
certain holes being made in the bottom of the ship. The
claims for the amount of the various policies having been
sent in, certain suspicious circumstances transpired which
led to the apprehension of -the parties now on their trial
Holdsworth,' it will be recollected, absented himself from
his office in Fenchurch--street, and was afterwards taken
into custody in Switzerland and brought to London.
Tha Solicitor-General and Mr. Giffard conducted the
prosecution; and Sergeant Atkinson and Mr. Ribton de-
fended the prisoners. There are no less then about 63
witnesses to examine.

When the Court adjourned for refreshment, Mr.
Justice Blackburne told the jury that from the appearance
of the case there was no likelihood of its terminating either
to-day or to-morrow, and, as that would render it neces-
sary for them to be kept together for that time, it would
perhaps be as well that they should make their arrange-
ments accordingly.

NEW COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice Keating.)
John Wilmot, who stood indicted, upon the coroner's
inquisition, with the manslaughter of the unfortunate per-
sons who lost their lives by the falling of a girder upon
one of the carriages of the Metrepolitan Railway, surren-
dered to take his trial. ..

Mr. Sleigh, who appeared for the prosecutipn, said he
did not intend to offer any evidence against the defendant,
in consequence of the death, since his committal, of the
man Chaney, who stood charged with the prisoner.
Mr. Sergeant Ballantine, who appeared to. defend till)
prisoner, said he had to inform the court that Wilmot bore
a very high character for care and good conduct! and that
previous to his entering the service of the Thames Iron
Company he had been employed by several of the most
eminent engineers in London.

Mr. Justice Keating said ho had read through the depo-
sitions, and it appeared to him the parties who had charge
of the signals were the most culpable, and he hoped that
great precaution would be taken for the future.
A verdict of not guilty was returned, and the prisoner
was accordingly liberated. .

THIRD COURT.
(Before the Recorder.)

John Adams pleaded guilty to an indictment charging
him with feloniously aiding a certain prisoner, to wit, one
Philip Bovill, a prisoner in the Rouse of Correction, Cold-
bath-fields, to which he had been lawfully commited.
The Recorder sentenced him to a aionth's imprisonment.

FOURTH COURT.
(Before the Common Sergeant.)

William Moulton, a sailor, was sentenced to 18 months'
imprisonment for a robbery with violence on Levy Her-
bert, and stealing from him money and various articles of
wevring apparel. Ann Mahomet, who was also indicted
indicted with the prisoner, was sentenced to 9 months' im-
prisonment.

- William Butcher, a soldier, was sentenced to 18 months'
imprisonment for a robbery With violence on George
Doughty. John Bowdy, whe was indicted with the pri-
soner, was sentenced to 15 months' imprisonment.

POLICE INTELLIGERCE.—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE IN A POLICE CELL.—Ann Newman,
a woman about 40 years of age, was charged before Mr.
Tyrwhitt with attempting to strangle herself in a police
cell at the Marlborough-mews Police-station.
Police-constable James Livermore, 118 C, said that
about 12 o'clock last night, the prisoner came up to him iu
Oxford-street and asked him the way to the Marlborough-
mews station, and on his telling her she became verylabu-
sive and left. While going round his beat he saw her
outside the station door in a state of intoxication, and on
telling her to go away she made use of very bad language,
and ho then took her to the station.

Sergeant Rowe, 3C, said the prisonor came to tho sta-

Lion and asked to see the inspector. As she had been
drinking he told her to come when sober and to go away.
She was put out of the station, and subsequently brought
by the last ,witness and put into a cell with another
female. Shortly after hearing a scream he went to the
cell, and found that the prisoner had tied something
tightly round her throat. He took it o and left her,
telling the other female to warn him if she attempted to
do anything to herself again, and also giving the gaoler
instructions to keep a watch on her. About a quarter of
an hour after there was another alarm, and on going to the
cell he found the prisoner had again tied something round
her neck so tightly that she was nearly dead.
In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the sergeant said the pri-
soner was drunk at the time.
Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner, observing that it
had better be marked on the committal that she was a
dangerous person.-

THAMES.
EXTENSIVE SYSTEM OF FRA.U.D.—James Bradshaw, aged
52, and who was described as an agent, of No. 15, Ran-
dolph-street, Camden-road, Holloway, was brought before
Mr. Paget, on a warrant granted by Mr. Partridge on the
27th of December last, charged with fraud and conspiracy.
Charles Ross and John Leyland were included in the same
warrant and are still at large. The three men are charged
with having by divers false pretences and subtle devices
unlawfully and frau Julontly acquired and obtained 1,400,000
bricks, valued at £1,365,
and conspiring together to de-
fraud Mr:John Peed, of Cambridgeshire.The prisoner is connected with a gang of swindlers,
called the "Forty Thieves," and after a successful course
of most iniquitous frauds he absconded. The bricks were
sent from Cambridgeshire to London by rail, and disposed
of below the invoiced price by Bradshaw, Leyland, and
Ross. He Assumed the name of Sibley, and went under
various disguises from place to place. He was discovered
yesterday in a house in Randolph-street by police-sergeant
Freeston, No. 58 K. Proeston said that Bradshaw had
not left the house in Randolph-street for three weeks, and
that while he was concocting his infamous frauds in the
Hamlet of Ratcliff ho wore no beard and moustache. Since
then he bad cultivated both. The swindlers traded under
the name of Bradshaw and Co., Regent's Canal Basin,
Ratcliff. The gang obtained good under false pretences
from tradesmen in various parts of the metropolis.
1,1,1;. Paget remanded the prisoner.
Rewards have boon offered for the apprehension of Ross
and Leyland. •

REFORM DEirONSTRATION IN EXETER.---It was
briefly stated, in The Sun of Tuesday that a Reform
demonstration, in connexion with the National Reform
League, was held in Exeter on Monday. The working men
of that city having been joined by those from other neigh-
bouring towns, the total number present, we now learn, was
about 1,500. In the evening a public meeting was held in
connexion with the movement, over which Sir J. Bowring,
presided. On the platform were Sir B. Wrey, the Rev. W.
H. Bonner (a vice-president of the National Reform League),
and a large number of the supporters of the cause: Sir
John Bowring, in the Course of a lengthy speech, claimed
for the unenfranchised the right to be admitted into the
electoral hall. John Bright, the tribune of the people, had
heen marked out as a special object of calumny, and
he asked the working men never to desert that honest
man. (Cheers.) He also extolled Mr. Gladstone, whose
name was received with loud applause, and censured the
conduct of Mr. Lowe and the Adullamites. Not long
since the Tories said the people wore quiet and contented,
and that no Reform was therefore wanted, but now the
people had become clamorous, earnest, and turbulent, so
Reform should not be granted. He urged them not to trust
the Tories for any measure of Raform, pointing to their
opposition to all Liberal measures hitherto brought for-
ward as a proof that they would not approach the subject
in earnest. Having alluded to the Solicitor-General's views
on Reform, and to the "miserable delusion as to the balance
of power"— a delusion which he thought was dissipated 50
years ago when the sovereigns and chief diplomatists of
Europe met, he said his notion of the constitution was that
it was a pyramid of which the people were the base and

the Sovereign the apex ; and this pyramid they desired to
strengthen by widening its base. Experience had shown
that working men, if predominent, would not send ignorant
or prejudiced representatives to Parliatnent. He then argued
for the ballot as a protection for the voter, contending that
it was no more uu-English for a man to register his Par-
mentary vote in secrecy than for members of clubs and cha-
ritable institutions to avail themselves of ►he bailot in order
to conceal their opinions. At this moment, while 150
millions of human beings were provided with the ballot,
in England, where the influence of wealth and title was
greater than in any other country, the House of Commons
would not make the experiment. The truth was they dare
not do it, for it would succeed, and its effect would be the
banishment of the Tories and the security of the Govern-
ment of the people. In conclusion, he hoped that this
meeting would show that they were determined to have
Reform—efficient, practical, and beneficent Reform. Seve-
ral speeches wore made, and resolutions approving man-
hood suffrage and the ballot carried unanimously.
