Mr. WHITEHOUSE applied to the Court for the purpose
of obtaining the postponement of a case until Wednesday,
in which no less than twenty-two individuals, the proprietors
of omnibusses, were indicted for a conspiracy: In support
of the application, the Learned Gentleman stated that
there was no less than one hundred witnesses and fourteen
Counsel on the part of the defendants.
After some observations between the Bench and the
Bar, the Court agreed to take the case in the New Court
at one o'clock.

The Grand Jury having been sworn,
The RECORDER proceeded to deliver his charge to
them. He said that it was not necessary to trouble
them with many observations upon the calendar, for,
although it contained charges of a most atrocious
character, the circumstances under which the of-
fences appear to have been committed, presented no
matter of difficulty in point of law or fact, that would not
readily be overcome. It was not his intention to press
upon the Gand Jury any observations in detail upon mat-
ters very serious in their nature, but not difficult to be
dealt with on the part of the Grand Jury. It would,
however, be necessary for him to make a few remarks. upon
the law, as it regarded tlu:ee or four of -the cases. One
case was a charge of stealing a quantity of fixtures from a
dwelling-house. By the Common Law, the -fixtures being
annexed to the freehold, it would not constitute a charge of
larceny, but it would be considered in the light of waste.
By a Statute, however, of the 4th George IV., if
any person spoilt any premises that were let to him
it should be deemed a larceny. There was also a case
of a most scrions character, as to which he would say,
without attempting to enter into the details, if the facts
stated in the depositions were proved before the Grand
Jury, it would be their bounden duty to put the case in
a course of trial. There was also a charge of adminis-
tering poison by a husband to his wife. His reason for
noticing this case was, that it appeared that the party who
administered the poison was not present when his wife took
it ; that, however, was not material, because it would fall
under the description of causing it to be taken. There
were also charges of maliciously shooting at a person, and
stabbing with intent to do some grievous bodily harm ;
but the law was so clear upon these subjects, that it was
totally unnecessary for him to say further upon them.
The Learned RECORDER, after adverting to some of the
other cases in the calendar, concluded by impressing upon
the Grand Jury the importance of the duties they had to
perform.
The COURT then proceeded to swear in the Petty Jury,
after which the Grand Jury brought in several true Bills,
and the trials of the prisoners commenced. No case, how-
ever, worth reporting came before the Court up to the
time of our reporter leaving.

he christened was afterwards his wife, by whom he had

his own church. His stipend for the first forty years of his

George's Hospital, on the body of Mr. William Harrison,
a farmer at Southall. The deceased, who was 55 years of
age, in climbing over a stile to look after some pigs on his
premises, unfortunately slipped, and an iron spike, which
had been placed there to keep away the fowls, pierced his
body in a vital part. Dr. Fox attended him, and recom-
mended his removal to St. George's Hospital, where mor-
tification ensued, which caused his death. Verdict, " Acci-
dental Death." The deceased, who was greatly respected
at Southall, has left a family to deplore his loss.

stand a cross-examination of the Court.
