WINTER IN CANADA.

During the past week-=", ,ow has fallen rather
heavily, and the frost has been somewhat severe for the
time of year. But what sound is that which I hear as
I sit writing y—jingle, jingle, jingle. " Hurrah ! it is
the merry sleigh bells." Notwithstanding the cold, the
snow, and all the other inconveniences of winter, there
is something cheerful and inspiriting in .a rapid drive
over the frozen snow to the music of a set of silver sleigh
bells. Wo will take a walk through our principal street
—it is all bustle and life. A few days since trade was
dud, and a farmer's "team" was scarcely to be seen in
the town. Now we can, with very little trouble, count
scores. Farmers who could not last week have ven-
tured one hundred yards from their farms, along the
roads, can now come into town with the greatest ease.
Here we meet the heavy and roughly-made cordwood
sleigh, there the merchant's travelling or " peddling"
sleigh, with its long " box" loaded with goods. Next
we see the farmer's market waggon, shorn of its wheels,
fixed on a set of" bobs" or runners, and loaded with the
produce of his farm. Now comes the highly de.
corated, welt-padded, double-seated family sleigh
of the well-to-do farmer or merchant, and lastly,
though not least, flies past us the gaily painted
cutter of the business man or the pleasure
seeker. Let us look at the dress of those travelling on
the cordwood sleigh—we see the driver wrapped up in a
thick coat, a woollen snarl round his neck, &o , remind-
ing us somewhat 'of " Mr. Cabby " at home. The
" peddling clerk " is also well wrapped up, but in a
somewhat hotter style, his nether limbs encased, in a
warm rug or buffalo skin. The farmer, his wife and
daughters (for if there is but two inches of snow on
the ground, "the girls will come out," at least so says
the farmer, that we have but now conversed with), all
welt clothed to protect them from the weather. In
the family sleigh and the cutter we see gentlemen
clothed in skins (fur coats, fur bats, fur gloves, and furs
round the neck), and ladies also robed in warm covering
of the mink, sable, ermine, black squirrel, coon, and fox.
Whde riding the skins of the buffalo, brae, and deer
protect their limbs ; in fact, all we can see of the ladies
are their heads, surmounted with a neat riding cap of
velvet and fur. But here is a cotter stopping at the
hotel. The gentlemen is about to take somewhat "cad
without" to prevent the " cold entering within." If the
Londoners were to see hinethey weu!d at occe say " What
a gun !" He has on his head a cap of coon skin about ten
inches high, "as rough as a badger's back." Ai mind his
neck is a Mr Ain, so fastened as to make it appear that the
fox, alter twisting about the owner's neck, was trying
to bite his tall in twain. His body is encased in a rough
and thick bear-skin coat, well padded. His feet are
covered with nmeassins made of the akin of the deer,
and his hands are protected by gloves (the lappets of
which reach near to the elbow), made of the skins of the
mink. This is a specimen of a Canadian gentleman's
winter service dress. But lot us examine the pedes-
trians. For prevails with many, but here and there we
see others who adopt the "plaid," or scarf shawl of
Scotland, come wearing it twisted around the body, and
thus leaving the arms free, others merely thrown loosely
over the shoulders and fastened front.—Correspondent
of the Canadian Neios.

SUICIDE OF FREER, THE ACTOR.—Yesterday morning
Mr. Ctiarles Freer, the well-known actor of a quarter
of a cernury ago, committed suicide by cut lug his
throat with a razor. He bad been re-oding until
very lately in Lambeth, and removed a few days
ato to a small room in Bridge-court, Bridge-street,
Parliament-street. He was in very indigent cir-
cumstances, having no means of obtaining a liveli-
hood, and being nearly 70 years of age, was past all
theatrical employment. It appears that between six
and seven o'clock in the morning one of the people in
the house happened to go to his room, and to their
astonishment, found him in bed in a pool of blood,
which, after further examination, was found to have
proceeded from an extensive wound in his throat. An
alarm was given, and a surgeon sent for immediately,
who arrived and did what was necessary with the
wound. A police constable was also called in at the
same time. The poor man was then sensible, and told
those about him that he bad inflicted the wound himself
with a razor, indicating where the weapon wets to be
found. He was at once removed to the Westminster
Hospital, but, from the exhaustion causal by loss of
blood, he only survived half an hour after being laid in
the ascident ward. Information has been for warded to
Mr. Bedford, the coroner for Westminster, and an in-
quest will be held this evening.
AOCTDENTAL DEATHS„--CORONER'S INQUlRY.—Yes-
terday afternoon Mr. Walsley held an inquiry at
the Elephant and Castle, Camden Town, into the cir-
cumstances attending the death of Lucy Ballsner, a
widow, aged 70. Death arose from extravasation of
bybloodff

deceased
yeepaaratedly
was found lying, and partly from a severe injury on the
forehead, the latter to all appearance having h; en pro-
duced by the deceased falling while in a partial state of
stupefaction from drink, for it appeared she was given
much to gin-drinking, and a bottle which bad contained
that liquor was found near her. The jury returned a
verdict of accidental death. In the second case, that
of a female child, the daughter of a house decorator,
earned Butcher, it appeared that the deceased was one of
twins, and while the mother was about her daily avoca-
tions she was suddenly seized with the pains of labour,
and gave birth to the deceased on theft tor, Were medical
aid could arrive. The injuries the deceased received
to the head on the occasion, caused death, but the other
chill was reported to be doing well. A verdict of acci-
dental death was likewise recorded in this case, and the
inquiry terminated.
BUCKINGHAMSHIRE ELECTION.—A. nomination of a
member for the county of Bucks in the room of the
Hon. C. C. Cavendish, who had been raised to the
House of Peers, took place yesterday at tint County-
hall, Aylesbury—the High Sheriff of the county, Mr.
P. Wroughton, presiding. Sir H. Verney, M.P., pre-
posed Mr. W. G. Cavendi,h, son of the late member;
Mr. Phillips seconded the nomination. Mr. R. B.
Hart ey nominated Captain C. J. B. Hamilton (foutlet ly
member for Aylesbury). and Mr. E. Stone seconded the
proposition. Mr. J. Gibbs proposed Mr. Acton 'nuclei
(lord of the manor) ; Mr. Shaw seconded the proposal
Mr. Cavendish, in Lis address to the electors, said he
should give the Government an energetic and bah pen-
dent support. He should vote for the adusis:ion of
Jews to Parliament. He could not say anything about
the Reform Bill until he knew what sort of measure it
was to be. Captain Hamilton said he came forward
because he had been asked to contest the county on
Conservative principles. The nomination of Mr. Tindal
having been withdrawn, a show of hands was taken
between the other two candidates, a hich the High
Sheriff declared to be in favour of Captain Hamilton.
A poll was demanded on behalf of Mr. Cavendish, which
will take place on Saturday. The proceedings termi-
nated with a vote of thanks to tae High Srteriff.
NEW BRUNSWICK AND CANADA RAILWAY.—The
directors of this company state in their report that
since the last meeting important progress has been
made in the company's undertaking. They congratulate
the shareholders on the opening of the line on the let
of October last to the 40th mile, from St. Andrew's
to Barber Dam. The statements previously made,
as to the cheapness of construction, have been fully
borne out by an investigation of the total cost of
the 40 miles now open. The works are now being pro-
ceeded with up to the 60th mile ; and the board have
recently authorised the formation of five miles more, so
that at the present time there are 25 miles under contract.
From the estimate of Mr. Buck, the engineer the cost of
grading, ballasting, fencing, &c., of the 25 miles will be at
the rate of 1,6821. 10s. per mile, or 42,0621.; and forrails,
chairs, switches, Stc., about 9351. per mile, or 23,3751. ;
making the total cost 65,4371., or at the rate of 2,6171.
10s. per mile. The survey of the remainder of the line
to Woodstock has also been completed, and, contrary
to the expectations of the directors, the works turn out
to be even more favourable than the previous portions
of the line, the estimate being at the rate of 2,3001. per
mile. There will only remain the branch of St. Stephens's
to be completed when the line is finished to Woodstock,
and in case of need this branch can be limited to four
miles, through a country similar to the average cha-
racter of that through which the trunk line passes.
The directors state that although the line is being them
manager to work
have well,
also
inexpensively constructed the works have been well exe-
cuted. The system adopted by the board of letting the
contracts in short lengths, so far as to render large

can tap the St. John's River and secure the traffic of

tion with the progress of the works by transmitting

LA W IN TELLIGENCE.—Dec. 23.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

(Sittings at Guildhall, before Lord Campbell and a
Special Jury.)
THE QUEEN V. ROBINSON-PERJURY.

At the sitting of the court this morning,
' Mr. Sergeant Byles replied on the part of tile
plantff.
Lord Campbell then summed up the evidence.
It was a case that must create the greatest anxiety
to all who were connected with it, and anxiety al-
most as great to the judge and jury as to the parties
interested. They had to decide a variety of ques-
tions, upon conflicting testimony, which could in no
ee reconciled ; and they were to say whether
there was perjury on one side or the other. The
defendant was indicted for that he committed wil-
ful and corrupt perjury when examined as a witness
in the ecclesiastical court in a divorce suit brought
by Mr. Evans against his wife. There were various
assignments of perjury separate and independent,
which would require their special attention, and he
would ask their opinion severally on the main ques-
tions on which their verdict would ultimately de-
pend. Those questions, which he had reduced to
writing, were these :—First, did an illicit inter-
course take place between the defendant and bliss
Carrington, in a fly, on the road to Charlton, in
February, 1849 ; second, did the defendant speak
in the club at Cheltenham, in 185 J, the words
which were imputed to him respecting the marriage
of Mr. Evans with Miss Carrington ; third, had the
defendant a latchkey while Mrs. Evans was lodging
in the Edgware-road, in July, 1853 ; fourth, did
the illicit intercourse take place between the de-
fendant and Mrs. Evans, as stated by Mann, in
August, 1853 ; fifth, did illicit intercourse take
place between the defendant and Mrs. Evans, on
the 4th and sth of July, 1854, while she was
lodging in Bryanston-street. Lastly, did the defen-
dant attempt to tamper with Mrs. King, as
a witness, in August, 1854, before the first
trial, as stated by her ? It would be for the
jury to answer those questions of fact. Hap-
pily, by the constitution of this country, ques-
tions such as those, where there was conflicting
testimony, were to be decided by a jury—the best
tribunal for such a purpose that ever was invented
by the wit of man ; and he entreated them, in
answering those questions, to be entirely guided by
their own opinions, formed upon the evidence on
both sides, btaring in mind the able disci-vision it
had undergone, and the powerful speeches they had
heard by the gentlemen who had addressed them.
It was not his habit to read over the whole of the
evidence in cases tried before him, because, gene-
rally speaking, that had a tendency rather to per-
plex than assist the jury ; but in a case of this sort
it was his bounden duty to , read over the whole
evidence, and to draw their attention to it, and, so
far as he could, to assist them by any observations
he might make on its bearing and effect ; and he
implored them not to be influenced by any one of
those observation-; unless they entirely concurred
in it. leis lordship, in proceeding to deal with the
first question, said he should have to read, in the
first iiietence, the evidence which went to prove
undue familiarities between the defendant and Miss
Carrington before her marriage with Mr. Evans.
The learned counsel for the defendant, in the dis-
charge of his duty, objected to the reception of
that evidence. He (Lord Campbell) felt it his duty,
wi. hout hesitation, to admit it ; and on reflection
he was clearly convinced that he was right, because
the defendant bad sworn in his depositions its the
.ccelesia-tical court that he never on any occasion,
tither before or after marriage, took indecent liber-
ties with Mrs. Evans, and never comrnittedadultery
with her. If he had not so sworn he should have
still had no hesitation in admitting evidence of what
took place before marriage, because it was most
important for the purpose of explaining what took
place afterwards, and showing the probabilities of
conflicting testimony, that they should see on what
footing Miss Carrington and the defendant were
prior to the marriage, and what had been the inter-
course between them. His lordship then read over
the whole evidence in detail. There could be no
blame imputed to Mr. Evans for suspecting that
that there was an improper intimacy between his
wife end Mr. Robinson, because it appeared on the
case for the defendant that though there might not
have been illicit intercourse, yet that he, a married
man, s .parated from his wife, up an in timacy wltli
her, which was unbecoming and improper. There-
fore Mr. Evans was perfec' ly justified in employing
all proper means to discover whether' any illicit in-
tercourse had really taken place between the parties.
The evidence of Mrs. King was open to great sus-
picion, but they were to say whether, corroborated
as it was by Mrs. Groxitt and Mrs. Price, they
could disbelieve it. [a regard to the occurrences
at Bryanstone-street a ra-et important witness for
the defence would have been Ellen Davis, Mrs.
Evans a maid, who must have-known all Mr. Robit.-
sou's movements, but she had not been called, and
no excuse had been offered f'r her absence. The
learned judge dismissed the evidence for the prose-
cution, by saying, if they believed it, adultery had
clearly been esteelished, but they would consider
the great improbability of some of the allegations.
On the part of the defence, Mrs. Evans herself was
called, and if she was to be believed the case for the
prosecution fell t) the ground. Both she and Mr.
Robinson, of course, knew the truth. There seemed
to be a notion that any act of this sort might be
denied by the parties who committed it. He hoped
uo such opinion was generally entertained. The
denial of the act was only an aggravation of the sin
committed, by adding perjury to unchastity. But
they would say whether Airs. Evans was to be believed
or not. He wished to cast no reflection on the memory
of Mr. Carrington ; but he thought it much to be la-
mented that he hid so incautieusly allowed his
daughter to remain in the company of the defendant.
Mrs. Evans categorically denied all the charges
which had been made against her. He owned lie
would lave had a better opinion of her evidence if
she had admitted the familiarities which took place
at Miss Maxwell's and at her father's house, and
were not venial or grossly improper. They were
deposed to by Mrs. Griffiths and by Crash, the foot-
man, who seemed to have no inducement to tell an
untruth ; and,if the jury believed them, Mrs. Evans
ba 1 stated an untruth with regard to matters about
which no reasonable doubt could be entertained ;
and if she was determined to deny everything
which cast the slightest imputation upon her cha-
racter, that circumstance shook her testimony in a
considerable degree when she cune to speak of
more serious matters. His lordship then went
carefully over the evidence for the defence which
went to prove an alibi in regard to the 4th and sth
of July, 1854, when it was supposed the defendant
committed acts of adultery. If there was merely
conflicting evidence, it was for the jury to say on
which side the truth lay ; but it might be that the
balance was so nice that they could not safely form
a conclusion, and if ally reasonable doubt existed in
their mind the accused party was entitled to the
benefit of that doubt; but at the same time if there
was no reason to doubt, the jury would do their
duty, and the law would be enforced. His lord-
ship then handed to the jury a paper containing the
questions in writing.
The jury expressed a desire to have the letter
which Mr. Evans wrote to his wife at the time of
the separation.

Lora Campbell said he ba,,l not taken any notice
of that letter, as the terms on which they parted
did not Bonn to him material in regard to what
followed afterwards between the defendant and
Mrs. Evans ; but they were quite right in asking
for that or any other document which they might
themselves consider material. -
The jury then retired at twenty-five minutes past
three. Shortly afterwards the foreman returned
and asked Lord Campbell whether he had written
the questions simply fur their guidance as to the
material points, cr whether he wished them to
answer each question I
Lord Campbell thought it would be more satis-
factory and proper to give an answer to each of
he sir.

The Foreman—Absolutely.
Lord Campbell—l think the case cannot be pro-
p rly disposed of unless you do so.
The Foreman then retired.

it gave important
request the associate to read it for the benefit or the
persons present.
Mr. Campbell, the associate, then read, in an,
emphatic manner, the telegram announciwr the
relief of Lucknow by Sir Colin Campbell. It was
receivdd with two loud bursts of applause by the
spectators, the court at the time h
_tin densely
crowded in anticipation of the verdict in the pi e-
ceding case being returned every minute.
Lord Campbell said be found no fault with that
ebullition of joy at the happy news which had :thus
been received, but he trusted that now all persons
would conduct themselves with the propriety which
a court of justice required.
Silence was then immediately observed.
Lord Campbell remained on the bench a consider-
able time waiting for return of tbojury, and
then retired into his private room. At a quarter
to six he came into court, and said he had a message

agreement of the let of April, 1851, by which Si-Sir
Richard Broun and Mr. Sprye were Entitled to re-
ceive c .nsiderable advantages from the Loudon
Necropolis Company—the plaintiffs in thelsuit de-
riving their titles thus :—Sprye mortgaged his
interest in a sum of money secured by the agree-
ment to Thompson, who became bankrupt after
having assigned the mortgage to one Browne, since
deceased, and of whom the plaintiffs were execu-
tors. The sub-mortgagees, therefore, were seeking
specific 'performance of the agreement, which
secured certain benefits to the mortgagor, for the
purpose of getting their mortgage satisfied. He
had not recollected any suit of this description,
but still it would have been painful to dispose of
the case upon a mere defect of form, while a substan-
tial point remained to be determined. He was satis-
fied, however, from the very able reply of Mr.
Cairns, that, though no direct precedent might be
found for such a bill, still, looking at the ca. e of
" Bellamy v. Sabine" (2 Phillips', 425), where pro-
perty was to be found in the hands of persons whose
title was mder a purchase, any person an assignee
of the vendor, might assert the vendor's rights
under the agreement to purchase, and thus obtain
the benefit of his charge throng': the medium of
specific performance. In a case so circumst:uiced
the parties in possession having got the very thing
contracted for, and obtained the benefit of the con-
tract, effective justice might be done by the Court.
Ho had in the course of the argument taken the

precaution of obtaining. from Sir Richar,l Broun

and Sprye an undertaking to be found by the de-
cree to be made id this suit, and thus he considered
himself in a position to adjudicate upon the merits.
Then it was to be considered how far the company
were bound by the agreement of April, 1851, so
that Sir Richard Broun and Sprye could obtain the
full benefit of their lien arising underthat argument
independently of the act of 1852, incorporating the
company ; further, how far the difficulties as to the
agreement had beenremoved or not by the act. Upon
the demurrer by. the company to the bill filei by Sir
Richard Broun to enforce this agreement the diffi-
culties were many and serious, but he then thought
that the saving clause is the act of 1852 removed
the difficulties (upon the case as made by the bill(,
and that Sir R. Broun might be entitled to relief at
the hearing. He had according overruled the de-
murrer. What, then, were the specific infirmities
attaching to the agreement, indePenden ly of the
act of 1852 ? He entirely rejected, the Attorney-
General's theory, that all the parties to the agree-
ment must be regaided as combiningin one great con-
spiracy for the purpose of defrauding those who were
afterwards to become shareholders iu the company,
and that the apparent discrepancy and conflict of in-
terests between tb contracting parties was for the
purpose of beguiling the world into the belief that
they were filling the relative positions of vendor
and purchaser. He did not think that this was the
case. In 1849 the idea, which was certainly a very
happy one, suggested itself to Sir H. Broun and
Mr. Sprye of forming a general cemetery at a con-
venient distance from the metropolis, this being at
a time when the question of intramural interment
was much discussed. He could not think that the
motion was of small importance, or other than one
of great value and ingenuity. A correspondence
was entered into with Lord Onslow, the owner of
the Woking property, by which Broun and Sprye
purported to treat with him for the purchase of the
land fur a company hereafter to be formed, no com-
pany being either formed or registered at that
period. Certain t‘rms were proposed, including
the her editary presit envy of the company to the
Eerldoin of Onslow, and the erection of a chapel
I for his family, dec. The correspondence, however,
merely amounted to an expression of Lord Onslow's
readines, as soon as a company should be formed,
to enter into au agreement for a sale of the land.
Contract binding upon him there was none, there
being no one with whom he could then contract.
Broun and Sprye, however, might be said to have
secured the "got d-will" of this sort of treaty with
Lord ()aglow. On the sth of February., 1850, the
company was provisionally rogistered. His Honour
then detailed at great length the proceedings inter-
vening betweeii that period and December, 1850.
At that time an agreement between the four pro-
visional trustees and Broun and Sprye, fur the pur-
chase of their interest in the contract or nog ,tia-
tion with Lord Onslow, in their negotiations with
the Sonth-Western Railway, and with the com-
moners of the manor of Woking, and generally in
the preject, was in course of airang,ement. Lord
Ouslow, by his solicitor, moat cle irly and
unequivocally at this pet iod repudiated
everything connected with the fernier nego-
tiations with Broun and Sprye, and declin-
ed, in peremPtory terms, to enter into any
cuntrect with them, It appeared clear that the four
provisional trustees concluded their contract with
Brouu and Sprye after full notice 1 hat Lor 1 Onslo cr
had repudiated all negotiations with them, and if
they had been acting merely ds individuals, and not
on behalf of a company, he should have no hesita-
tion iu enforcine the compact entered into in Dee-
-1850, against ttliern. It, was important to the posi-
tion of Sprye that he knew they wore acting as
directors of the company and as trustees of the
money to he raised from the Intro shareholders.
He ought to have been very. guarded in alt his
dealings with them, treatieg as be wets for the par-
ment to himeelrof trust moneys. On D:c. 13 the
proposed agreement, with the reCitels only, was
read, to which the boe.d at ached their stgnature s
iu token of adhesion. Those recitals were very pe--
culiar. (His Honour referred at gre tt length to these
recitals, which distinctly represented that Broun
and Sprye had entered into a contract with Leul
Ons!ow for the purchase of his land, and- that they
would

provisional trustees Passed a most improper reeolu-

; tion, appropriating to themselves a quarter of the
money of their cestuisque trust. Sir R. Broun dis-
tinctly remonstrated upon the impropriety of this
appropriation, and upon the clause having been
smuggled into the agreement after it was signed by
him, were these directors in a position to deal fairly
on behalf of their cestuisque trust., so that their con-
tract could be enforced against those cestuisque trust?
Were they after this proposed appropriation in a
condition to treat honestly for any material altera-
tion in the agreement ? Some further proceedings
took place with reference to the agreement, in the
course of which Mr. Sewell showed himself very
energetic and active on behalf of his client, Mr.
Sprye, his endeavours being directed to this,—that
Brom). and Sprye should only transfer to the com-
pany that interest in the contract for the purchase
of Lord Onslow's land which they actually posses: ed
The result was that the directors on behalf of the
company took upon themselves the expense of any
suit against Lord Onslow to compel him to trasfer
the land, which Broun and Sprye undertook to con-
vey, being, as they said, advised by counsel that
they could enforce specific performance from his
lordship. His Honour then referred to the afire .-
went of April 1, 1851, differing, as he observed,
most materially from all the other documents pre-
viously signed, in that it contained the appropria-
tion to the directors of 1-4th of the profits, and
omitted that which was most beneficial for the
cestuisque trust, the cause by which Broun and
Sprye bound themselves to pet feet their contract
with Lord Onslow at their own expense and obtain
a transfer of the land to the company. It was im-
. possible to say that this variation, which went to
i the very root of the contract, this reservation of
interest to the trustees, coupled with the with-
drawal of a distinct benefit from the cestuisque
trust, would not vitiate the agreement of April 1,
independently of the Act of 1852. The purchase
from Lord Onslow was subsequently effected, and
no doubt the company had derived great advan-
tage from the goodwill at least existing in Broun
and Sprye and the steps taken by them in 1840
with a view to such a purchase. His Honour then
referred to the prospectus and the deed of settle-
ment, and the proceedings taken with reference to
the Act of 1852. ' Sir Richard Broun had about
this period indulged in most intemperate lan-
guage in his letters in respect of the company and
their proposed act of incorporation. This, how-
ever, was not surprising, as he seemed utterly
destitute of all sense of propriety, having thought
fit during the progress of this bill to address
letters to him (the Vice-Chancellor) of a most im-
proper character. While the Act was being carried
through Parliament the parties were clearly at
arms' length. Broun and Sprye having petitioned
against the bill, or, at all events, for a recognition
and protection of their interests ; and the assertion
of their right before the act incorporating the com-
pany passed was of considerable importance, look-
ing at the recent decisions in the House of Lords
as to contracts entered into on behalf of companies
before incorporation. The company were forced—
and it must be taken that there was no concession
on either side—into the insertion of clause 31,
which provided, "that nothing in the Act con-
tained should deprive any party or parties of any
legal or equitable rights, interests, or claims to
which such party might be entitled by virtue of
any agreement or agreements entered into by any,
person or persons fir the time being acting as pro-
visional trustees for the company before the com-
plete
registration thereof, and any 9cla person so
acting as such provisional trustee should be hell to
have acted on behalf of the company by the act in-
corporated, as if the seal of the company had bet n
affixed to such agreement at the date thereof re-
spectively, provided that nothing in such agree-
went should bind or enable the company to transfer
or convey away any portion of the land comprised
in the schedule to any party claiming under such
agreement, but that any claim with reference to
any such land should be treated as a question of
pecuniary compensation or damages only." It
might be observed upon this clause that it did not
confirm the agreement of April, 1851, for if so it
would have been directly meutioned. The provi-
sional trustees were thereby constituted agents of
the company for any purpose the company could
bind itself to ; and, further, the legitimate inference
arose that the act must be taken to recognize the
agreement of April, 1851, and affect the company
with notice of it, subject to such defects and objec-
tions as were apparentupon its face. There wassome-
thing, however, behind this agreement of April of
which the company qua company was not aware. No
notice was given to them of the very important
agreement of the 18th of Dec., 1850, under which
they were entitled to so much greater benefits. The
agreement of December was the one really made,
and by that the directors should have stood. That
agreement, however, could not have been enforced
against the shareholders. Ttie land was not, and
could not, under the circumstances, have beeu ob-
tained from Lord Onslow through the medium of
Brous and Sprye, nor from any estate existing in
them. No doubt the acquisition of the land was
facilitated by their previous negotiat;ons with Lord
Onslow, but those did not amount to 'a contract. It
the company had got the benefit of the agreement
with Broun and Sprye, and thereby become pos-
sessed of the thing itself cmtracted for, " Bellamy
v. S %bine" would be applicable, and he should have
had no difficulty in establishing the lien of the plain-
tiffs as mortgagees. The land, however, had been
obtained from Lord Onslow independently, and a 3
the plaintiffs had failed to establish any contract
binding upon the court, the bill must be dismissed.
He did so, however, very reluctantly, as he thought
that Broun and Sprye were entitled to a consider-
able recompense for the real benefits which they had
conferred upon the company, by their activity and
enterprise in propounding the scheme, their choice
of site, dec. They had great cause to complain of
the way in which they had been treated, and of this
attempt by the company to make out a conspiracy
between the provisional trustees and Broun and
Sprye, which had not been supported. For tivse
reasans the bill, though dismissed, would be dis-
mieFecl without ct sts ; but he did not intend to
prejudice any action at law.

pany ; Mr. Daniel, Mr. Osborne, Mr, Shaptcr,

WELLESLEY V. LOAD MORNINGTON.
The Vice-Chancellor also gave judgment in this
petition, which involved the following short ques-
tion ;—By the marriage settlement of the late Earl
of Mornington certain Irish estates were charged with
25,000/. by way of portion for the younger chil-
dren of the marriage. These Irish estates were
sold in the Encumbered Estates Court, and
25,0001. was sot apart by the commissioners out of
the proceeds to answer the portions charged
thereon. This 25.0001. was invested, and the''di-
vidends were received by the late earl, who died
on the Ist of July last. The question arose a 3 to
the dividend accruin•4 upon the sth of July be-
tween the present Earl of Mornington and the
younger children, upon petition fur payment of
their portions. _

The Vice-Chancellor, after referring to the En-
cumbered Estates Act (11th and 12th Vic., cap.
48), and the order of the commissioners in Ireland,
said that the 25,0001., when invested, was during
the lifetime of the tenant for life to be dealt with
as land. The Legislature did not intend to inter-
fere with the rights of persons entitled to the land
beyond making a provision for the payment of en-
Cumbrances. The late earl therefore was clearly
entitled during his life to Vie income of the
25,0001. as if it had baen land, and the petitioners
would only receive the apportioned part of the di:-
vidends accrued siuce the Ist of July,last,
Mr. Cairns, Mr. Rolt, Mr. Druce, Mr. Nalder,
Mr. Bagshawe, jun., and Mr. F. G.. A. Williams
appeared upon the petition.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

WESTERN CIRCUIT.

TAUNTON, WEDNESDAY, D..c. 23.
Thomas Miller was indicted for the wilful murder
of Sarah Border, at Bathford, on Oct. 10.
Wheu called upon to pleat the prisoner made uo
answer, and a plea of not guilty was ordered by the
Court to be entered. ,

Mr. Thring was counsel for the prosecution, and
Mr. T. W. Saunders defend() l' the prisoner.
It appeared that the prisoner was a cowherd and
resided at Worley. On the evening of the 10th Oct.
two persons were heard going to the prisoner's cot-
tage, and soon, afterwards a scream was heard, and
the dezeased cried out "Oh my dear husband The
neighbours ran out and found the demased lying on
the ground by the prisoner's door. She had ben
stabbed. Her husband was also lying a short way
off. lie had also been stabbed. Both died in a stio, t
time. Search was ►made for the prisoner, and he was
found in au adjoining garden lying on the ground
in a pool of blood. There was a cut in his throat
and in the ablomon.

Evidence was given to show that the prisoner
was often very wild and strange, and on that day
he had complained very Much, and said he had had
a dreadful fight with the Indians, and he wished
he was in the hospital. He also said that Mrs.
Border had accused him of having something to do
with the murder of the woman in Leigh-woods.
The prisoner's father had been in a lunatic asylum.
Mr. Justice Willes, in summing up, said there
could be no doubt the prisoner was guilty of this
raurder, unless they should be satisfied that he was
in sach a state from disease of -the mind us not to
know be was doing a wrong act at the time he in-
flicted the blow. In late times defences of this de-
L acription hadbeen set upon most frivolous grounds,

and parties had escaped punishment, because at the
time the evidence bad succeeded in inducing juries
to suppose that the parties ware insane, when it
afterwards turned out that they were perfectly sane
people. Every man was presumed to be sane untf 1
he was proved to be otherwise ; he was supposed
to possess a sufficient degree of reason to be re-
sponsible for crime until the contrary was proved.
To establish such a defence it must ba
clearly proved that at the time of committing the
act the accuecl was labouring under such a
defect of reason as not to know the nature and
quality of the act he was doing.
The jury acquitted the prisoner on the ground
of in=anity, and he was ordered to be detained dur-
ing her Majesty's pleasure.

NORTHERN CIRCUIT.--NEWCASTLE, DEC. 22.
Mr. _Justice Crompton arrived at this town yes-
terday afternoon, from Durham, after finishing the
assizes there, and immediately opened the commis-
sion.

This morning his lordship charged the town grand
jury at 9 o'clock, at the Guildhall, and then ad-
journed to the Moot-hall, where he charged the
county grand jury, after which his lordship pro-
ceeded fist to try the county prisoners.
The calendar for the county contains the names
of five prisoners only ; that for the town of New-
castle contains the names of 24 prisoners, some of
them charged with serious offences.
James Oliver, aged 34, was indicted for felo-
niously uttering and putting off a Bank of Eng-
land note for the payment of 101., well knowing
the saute to be forged, at the parish of Shotley, on
the sth Oct. last.

Mr. L. H. Bagley and Mr. Fowler appeared on
the part of the Bank of England for the prosecu•
tion, and Mr. Seymour in defence of the prisoner.
It appeared that the prisoner was a mason, liv-
ing at a place called Bellingham, and that he passed
a forged note to Michael Hudson Makepeace, a far-
mer at Boltsthorpe, in the county of Durham. On
the sth Oct. last Mr. Makepeace drove seven beasts
to Blanchland fair, on the borders of Northumber-
land and Durham, to sell. Not succeeding in ssiling
them, ho was driving them home again, when the
prisoner met him at a glace called Bay-bridge' and,
after some conversation with him about his beasts,
began bargaining with him for one of them—a bull,
which he eventually agreed to purchase for 71. 17s.
6d. The contract was completed in a roadside
publichouse, where the priioner pulled out what
purported to be a 101. Bank of England note
to pay f)r his purchase. Mr. Makepeace had never
before but once in his life (six years ago) seen a
13.1.nk of England note, but, believing and trusting
that the note was a genuine one, he took it in pay-
ment and gave the requisite change. The prisoner
then drove away the bull, and oil meeting a young
woman who knew him and saw him driving the
animal, requested her not to mention that she had
seau him. At the time of the purchase he gave a
wrong name and address, and with a great show Gf
hospitality he invited Mr. Makepeace to visit him if
ever he came into his neighbourhood. The note
turned out to be a forgery. To prove guilty know
ledge evidence was given that the prisoner on the
16th May last passed a forged 51. Bank of England
note to a Mrs. Golightly, who kept a public-house
at a pl ice called Street-end, and also then gave a
wrong name • and on the 22d August last he pae sed
another forged 51. Bank of England note to another
publican, which being handed over to the police he
gave live sovereigns fur the forged note, and told
the policeman he might destroy the note.
Ii is Lordship having summed up the evidence,
The jury found the prisoner guilty.
His Lordship, in passing sentence, told the pri-
soner that not long since he would have been exe-
cuted for this offence, which was a very grave one,
as it bore very hardly on the poor persons who were
deceived by such practices. The sentence of the
Court was that he be sent for six years to penal
servitude.

Henry Oxley was indicted for feloniously em-
bezzling the sum of 121. 125., the property of his
master, William Hall Brown, on the 9th Nov. last-,
at Hexham.

Mr. Davison appeared for the prosecution, and
Mr. Price defended the prisoner.
It appeared that the prosecutor's father, a very
old man, since dead, a farmer, wished to sell a bay
mare at Hexham fair, and the prosecutor offeredihe
prisoner 3s. for his day's work and his expenses to
take the mare over to Hexham and try to sell her,
with instructions to get 13/. for her, or within a few
.shillings of that sum, or bring her back home. The
prisoner sold the mare to a Mr. Smith Stobart, of
Acomb, at the fair for 121. 125., the 'mare at the
time having a running at the nose. On the priso-
ner's return he told the prosecutor he had treated
him very ill in sending hint with a glanderecl mare
to the fair. Oa the prosecutor asking him if he had
sold her and got the money, the prisoner said. ho
had exchanged her, and the prosecutor would find
anothar horse in his stable. On ping to his stables
the prosecutor found a horse which bad got the
" staggers " that was not worth 1./., and of no use,
as they could not work him, for he could not be
got to stir. The prisoner told him he had got much
the best of it in the bargain, for his mare was glan-
dered, but she was not so in fact, and he did not
tell the prisoner, in order to account for ber running
at the nose, that " she had got some trouble in her
head." On telling the prisoner that he had no au-
thority to make the exchange, and demanding the
money for his mare, the prisoner told him he could
do nothing to him, for it was only a breach oftrust.
Mr. Price objected that the property of the mare
was in the father, and not in the present prosecu-
tor.

His Lordship was of that opirqpn, and ordered
the indictment to be amended.

Mr. Prico also objected that the prisoner was the
agent of the prosecator to sell the mare if he could,
and not his servant within the meaning of the Act
of Parliament.

His Lordship overruled this objection, and
Mr. Price having left the case in his Lordship's
hands.

The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and he was
sentenced to be imprisoned six calendar months,
with hard labour.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.-

(Before Mr. Creasy and a Bench of Magistrate)
SENTENCE -ON THE POLICE*AN BRADY.
Hugh Brady, the police-constable convicted on
Friday last of an assault upon Diedrich Rathgen,
a German, was brought up for judgment.
Mr. Creasy said the prisoner had. been Con-
victed of one of the gravest offences it had ever
been his lot to try—a graver seldom came before
a c.urt of justice. It was proved, upon .what he
'must say was evidence of the clearest character,
that he had grossly insulted a married woman of
respectability while he was performing the duty of
police-constable; and when he fOund that the hus-
band of the female he had so insulted had taken his
number, for the purpose of reporting him to the
police authorities for his misconduct, he attacked
him with his truncheon and committed the brutal
and cowardly assault of which he had, been con-
victed.. Not only did he do that, but he took his
victim into custody, on a charge of his having as-
saulted him with a poker—a •charge which he sup-
ported by peaj cry before the magistrate, and also
at tbie court, when he was disbelieved by the jury,
who acquitted Mr. Rathgen. Fortunately for 'the
ends afjustice the prisoner had been convicted, and
from inquiry which bad been made as to his antece-
dents it appeared that he was not entitled to 'the
good character he had received with respect to his
conduct while in the Crimea. for he had been re-
duced for committing a serious assault. Lookingat all the circumstances,
especially to the fact that
at the time the prisoner was a police constable
whose duty was to protect the public, ho felt it to
be his duty to pass upon him the full sentence
the law allowed, and regretted he could not give
even more. The sentence was, that the prisoner be
kept to hard labour in the House of Correction for
the period of two years.
Mr. Van e, the solicitor for the prosecution, in the
absence of Mr. Sleigh, renewed au application made
on Friday by the latter gentleman for full costs, but
the court decided that the usual costs only should
be allowed.
James Terry, 63, pleaded guilty to an indictment
preferred against him by direction of the parochial
authorities of Marylebone, for having unlawfully
kept and used the house, No. 45, Upper NortJn-
street as a brothel.
H e was sentenced
Mr. Metcalfe, instructed by Mr. Randall, the
parish solicitor, prosecuted -• Mr. Lewis appeared
fir the defendant. t ) four months' hard labour.
E I ward. East, a stonemason, was convicted of in-,
flicting grievous. bodily harm upon his wife, by cut-
ting her head open with a looking-glass frame, and
it was proved that he had often ill-treated her.
He was seetenced to hard labour for 18 calendar
months.
Mr. Daley prosecuted ; Mr. Metcalfe defended.
David Evans, 20, was convicted of stealing a
watch from the person of John Cott, a warden of
Ole Weadon Prisoh, while standing on the Horse
. •
Guards Parade, as her Majesty was passing to open
Parhamt. e was sentenced to 4 months' hard
labour.
The last case tried was that of a person named
Sutton, who was charged with assaulting a gent!e-
Marl named Lewis, on the occasion of the latter
waiting upon him in reference Ito some legal pro-
ceedings. The facts were of no interest except to
the partie'. The defendant in the result was fined
51., and discharged.
' Mr. F. H. Lewis prosecuted ; Mr. Metcalfe was
for the prisoner.
Among the grand jurors summoned to state the

crroirp

= ~,, ~

reasons of their nonattendance on the first day of
the sessions was Mr. John Hullah, of St. Martin's
hall, who stated, in answer to Mr. Creasy, that he
was prevented attending by having to attend to
professional duties.

Mr. Creasy said that really was no excuse at all ;
every gentleman summoned might urge the same
ground.

Mr. Hullah said he was profe3sor of music at the
London University, and his attendance here would
have prevented his keeping his engagements there.
Mr. Creasy said he, too, was a university pro-
fessor, and he regretted that his public duty pre-
vented him from releasing a brother professor from
a fine which he had incurred for not attending as
a grand juror without sufficient legal excuse. Mr.
Huilah must pay the 101.
[The sentence on the Ufe Guardsman, John
Scott, convicted of robbing Lieut. the Hon. C. B.
Hanbury, was five years' p@nal servitude, and not
one year hard labour, as stated yesterday.]
