FISHERIES .PRESERVATION ASSOCIATIOIV:

A general meeting of the members of the associa-
tion was held yesterday, at their offices in Regent-
street, to consider the report of the council upon
the exportation of unseasonable salmon to France,
End also to consider the Lord Advocate's Fisheries
Bill. Lord Saltoun presided.
The CHAIRMAN intimated that since the last
general meeting the council had met frequently,
and had made every inquiry in their power into
the subject referred to them for investigation. They
bad framed a report, the draft of which he would
read, and which would show the necessity of im-
mediate and strong steps being taken to prevent
the total extermination of the salmon and' trout
fry in all the rivers of the United Ringdem-
The report stated with regard to the export of
foul salmon to France (by which Paris was
meant, for it was there that 999-1000ths of it went),
that the council had made diligent inquiry as to the
extent of the export during the fence months, which
though differing as to time in various parts of the
United Kingdom, extended over 20 weeks of the
year, and found that not less than from 4001 b. to
5001 b. w eight of salmon on the average was exported
every week during those 20 weeks. As in the course
of a few weeks or even days these fish would have
deposited their spawn in their several rivers, and -
as each fish would contain from 10,000 to 12,000
eggs, the loss to the fisheries and the public was
enormous. It was the custom to transmit these fish
in all kinds of packages, sometimes in ladies trunks,
and sometimes in boxes and baskets with rabbits'
feet protruding from them. There was consequently
some difficulty in dealing with the question effec-
tually on this side. An excise duty on the export
had been suggested, and ',as that no doubt would
at once hamper this illicit trade, the council would
not lose sight of the suggestion. But a more
effectual remedy would be the prohibition of the
sale of the fish in the Paris markets during the fence
months; and as the French Government were actively
engaged at the present moment in the development
and improvement of their own river fisheries, there
was reason to believe that if the matter were pro-
perly represented to them they would enact and
enforce such a prohibition. The same machinery
which collected the octroi duty on all provisions
entering Paris might easily be made effective in
preventing the introduction of salmon during the
close season. The council concluded by recom-
mending that the suggestion of Mr. Martin T.
Smith should be acted upon, viz., that a deputation
should wait upon Lord John Russell, urging him
to use the influence of the British Government with
the French Emperor to induce him to establish a
prohibitory law on the subject.
The recommendation of the council was agreed to -
unanimously.

HORRIBLE CASE OF MURDER AT ST.

TEMP'S, BRISTOL.

BRISTOL, FRIDAY EVENING.

This afternoon the densely-populated manufac-
turing district of St. Philip and Jacob, which
forms the south-eastern boundary of this city, was
thrown into a state of the greatest excitement
in consequence of its becoming known that a little
girl of between two and a-half arid three years
old, had been deliberately murdered by her own
mother. The names of both murderess and victim
were the same, Martha 011iver, and they were the
wife and child of a journeyman saddler and harness
maker, named Henry 011iver, with whom they lived
in an apartment at No. 4, John-street. The unhappy
woman, who is 46 years of age, was before the per-
petration of the crime the mother of three children,
and the fact of the murder was first brought under
the notice of the police authorities by her own state-
ment. In the early part of this afternoon she pre-
sented herself at the central police-station, Bride-
well-street, where 6he encountered police-sergeant
Windmill, and addressing his), said that she sur-
rendered herself to him as his prisoner. The con-
stable at first thought that she was jesting, bat
upon his asking tier upon what charge she wished
him to arrest her, she said, very earnestly, I have
been and hung one of my little children." The
officer, still dubious of her statement, asked what
could have induced her to commit such an act as
that, to which she replied that her husband had used
her very badly, and by his cruelty had driven her
to it. She stated this with apparent calmness, and
the sergeant deemed it his duty to take her into the
charge-room before the officer on duty. She there
repeated her statement, telling where she lived, and
saying she had hanged the child from one of the
posts of her bed. She then tendered the key of her
door, saying that if the officer could go and look he
would find it as she had stated. The officer on
duty, upon this, directed Police-sergeant Windmill
to go to John-street, and he was telling him to make
haste, as life might-not be quite extinct, when she
said, "Oh, it is of no use. I have done it. I could
not bear to see her suffer, and I pulled her by the
heels." The sergeant lost no time in proceeding to
the house, which is rented by a person named
Mounting, 011iver being an under-tenant. He
opened the door, and in looking into the room
found that her horrible statement had been a true
one, as the lifeless body of the poor child was sus-
pended from one of the bed-posts. The sergeant at
once cut it down, and medical assistance was pre.
cured, but it was of course wholly unavailing.
The woman, who had been held in custody at
the station-home during the time the officer was
engaged in making the inquiries, was afterwards
taken, for examination, before the magistrates, and
was remanded by them for further inquiry. Infor-
mation has been conveyed to the coroner, J. B.
Grindon, Esq., who will hold an inquest to-morrow.

APPALLING SCENE ON A WINDER•
MERE STEAM-ER.

On Tuesday, in consequence of the large number
of excursionists from Preston for Windermere and
the cheap trains thither from other towns, Bowness
was very much crowded, and the three steamers on
the lake were loaded with passengers from the
various landing-places, anxious to view the beauties
of the locality and to enjoy the pleasure of a sail on
the Queen of the Lakes. One of the steamers of the
Windermere Steam Yacht Company, the Lady of
the Lake, left the pier at Bowness for Ambleside,
at a quarter-past 12 o'clock, with deck and cabin
passengers, variously estimated at from 200 to 400,
being considerably more than the legal number and
more, apparently, than she was able to carry. Per.
sons left behind on the pier were astounded to see
her lurching and rolling on the water as though in
a heavy sea as she passed away, the paddlewheels
being alternately lifted entirely out of the water:
Before she had proceeded a mile on her journey
water made its appearance in the cabin, to the sur-
prise of the passengers, and this surprise- was
heightened to consternation, and even to terror
with
some, when they found that it increased in
height. The cabin passengers rushed on deck in a
state of the wildest alarm, the ladies shrieking for
help, and the panic became indescribable when the
cry that the vessel was sinking went through the
dense mass of people on deck. The captain,
having ascertained beyond doubt that the vessel
had sprung a serious leak, ran her ashore on the
Lancashire side of the lake, where the Hawksworth
road approaches the water, and a little to the north
of Curwen's Island. Here the confusion became
worse confounded, some of the passengers leaping
into the water and struggling to get ashore, to the
imminent risk of their lives, and many received
severe sprains and bruises. Two women were en-
tirely-immersed in the water, one of them being
the daughter of Mr. Pearnley, of Luncestreet,
Preston, who leapt inte the lake from sheer terror;
happily, both were safely rescued. The majority,
however, were got ashore, without either bruise or
immersion. The passengers remained on the bank
of the lake until the returning steamer from Amble.
side—it having been signalled for by the steam
whistle of the sinking vessel—came up and took
them off for Boldness. The fright of thepassen-
gets was greatly increased by the suspicion that
the boiler had burst. This arose from the extinc-
tion of the fire by the water, which rose rapidly
after the leakage was discovered. The great volume
of steam thus created caused the same feeling to be
shared by perbons on beard the other vessels on
the lake, who, when they saw the steamer run
ashore, were convinced some serious accident had
occurred.

In L11:1; ILukruptcy ye.,4orday thena was a
dividend sitting under the sc.:pa rat:: estate of Messrs. Davies
and Traughton, bankers, of Shersditch. It was stated that
the dividend will be 203 in the pound, with a considerable
gwowl applicable to the joint estate,

THE CASE OF THE REV. H. J. HATCH.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.)

(Before the Lord Chief Baron, Barons Martin, Bramwell,

and Channell.)
HATCH V. LEWIS.

"Mr. M. Chambe's, with whom was Mr. Garth, said this
was a case tried before the Lord Chief Baron. The jury
found a verdict fo' the plaintiff with 40 shillings damages.
He had now to name for a rule to show cause why the court
should not award he plaintiff his full cosis, and, if not,
why the verdict siould not be set aside and a new trial had.
He moved first, of the ground that the damages were in-
adequate ; second on the ground of misdirection of the
learned Judge wlo tried the case ; and third, on the ground
of improper rejecton of the evidence.

Baron Martin itquired what authority the Court had to
interfere ?

Mr. Chambers said he would show their lordships that
they had not onl: a right to interfere, but it was their duty
to do so. With •eference to costs this was a most important
application.
The Lord Chisf Baron said that the two applications
were quite indepeident of each other, and the Court could
not entertain then together.
Mr. Chambers said he would submit his motion, and after
he had given hs reasons it would be for the Court to
decide.

The Lord Chid Baron said that if Mr. Chambers wished
to move for a nev trial he was entitled to do so, or to move
that the costs should be allowed, but the Court could not
allow them to betaken together.
Mr. Chambers was quite unaware of any point of practice
which prevented him from taking them together.
The Lord Chief Baron enquired whether he knew of such
a course having been taken before. The Court thought he
might make either application, and in time both.
Mr. ChatoberE thought that surely the Court could not
decide until it had heard his reasons.
The Lord Chief Baron said it had never beenknown that
two such motions had been taken combinedly.
Mr. Chambers said he proceeded under a recmt statute,
and he should claim his right to be heard. When the Court
had been kind eaough to hear him, then it might come to
a decision. It arpeared to him that it was a most important
matter, and ho vould inform the Court of the unfortunate
position in which his client was placed.
The Lord Chief Baron repeated that Mr. Chambers might
move for costs, or for a new trial.
Mr. Chambers said he should move for both.

The Lord Chief Baron (excitedly)—Then the Court will
not hoar you.

Baron Bramwell said that such a course as that suggested
by Mr. Chambers, was not in accordance with the general
practice of the court. Did Mr. Chambers think it right to
submit one motion, and the other in the alternative ?

charges preferred against him. It was then promised by
Mr. Lewis that he would attend before the magistrates
on the next morning. He went there and saw Mr.
Hatch, who told him the circumstances, and that all his
family could contradict the charges that had been made
against him. The first negligence on the part of Mr.
Lewis was in not asking for a remand, so that he might
examine witnesses.

Mr. Chambers said he did. The reason he moved it as an
alternative was that, if he made separate motions he should
have to go over the ground twice. He had been driven to
come to the court in consequence of an application having
been made to the Lord Chief Baron to certify that it was a
fit question to be tried in a superior court.
The Lord Chief Baron said the matter tiood thus. Mr
Chambers had a perfect right to apply for a new trial or for
the coats, but the two questions had no connection with each
other.

The Lord Chief Baron said, that surely Mr. Chambers
did not mean to say that it would have been prudent to
discuss the matter before a magistrate.
Mr. Chambers said that Mr. Lewis had previously said
Cat the case must go to trial.
The Lord Chief Baron said that it was not at all probable
that the magistrate would dismiss the case.
Mr. Chambers repeated that Mr. Lewis had previously
determined that the case must go to trial.
The Lord Chief Baron thought he was right. One of
Mr. Hatch's allegations was that Mr. Lewis had so mis-
managed his case that he was sent to trial .

Mr. Chambers would then, in the first case, apply for a
new trial, and in giving his grounds he would state the
circumstances which would bear upon the question of
costs. He would state distinctly in the Lord Chief Baron's
presence that the summons was taken out in order that his
lordship might certify that this was a proper case to be
tried in the Superior Courts. Mr. Garth and Mr. Charles
parties. He did not

judge upon the bench
who would not instantly have certified in such a case, for
no doubt could be entertained that it was a fit subject to be
tried there. But the Lord Chief Baron said he would not grant
a certificate until after the fourth day of term, in order that
he might see whether either party moved for a new trial.
Now the obvious answer to that was this, what had the mov-
ing fora new trial to do with the question whether this was
or was not a proper case to be tried in a superior court. The
Lord Chief Baron's refusal to certify at that time placed Mr.
Hatch in this predicament—if he had waited until the lapse
of four days in order to see whether the learned judge would
certify he would have been deprived of the opportunity of
moving for a new trial if his lordship had refused. Under.
these circumstances he (Mr. Chambers) thought that to save
expenses he should move a rule in the alternative. He would
now introduce to their lordship's attention the facts of the
case, but first of all he would speak of what occurred before
the trial came on. This would go to the merits of the case
as well as to the question of costs. The venue had been
originally laid in Hertfordshire, and the defendants made
an affidavit on moving for a special jury that it was an im-
portant case.

The Lord Chief Baron inquired in what state these facts
were before the Court now. Had Mr. Chambers any affi-
davits in reference to them ?
Mr. Chambers said he had. There were two of the
judges on the bench (Baron Bramwell and Baron Channell)
who would have too much reason to recollect part of the
history of this most miserable case. It was proved at the
last trial that Mr. Hatch was a gentleman of excellent edu-
cation, and well connected. He had some clerical employ-
ment when he was appointed to the chaplaincy at Wands•
worth. While there he foolishly embarked in some specu-
lations in reference to an insurance company, and in some
literary matters which contributed to his difficultk.in th...t
state of things. Somewhere about the month of July, 1859,
he and Mrs. Hatch having adopted a little girl, called Lucy
Hatch, the orphan of a surgeon who died in the Crimea,
were desirous of engaging a governess. They did so, and
this led to a communication with the Plummers, whose
daughters they were to take in order to assist in meeting the
expenses. On the 11th of August, 1859, Mr. and Mrs.
Plummer came down with Eugenia Plummer. They stayed
at Mr. Hatch's during the afternoon, and left after 10.
Mr. Hatch went out with Eugenia Plummer and Lucy
Hatch to see Mr. and Mrs. Plummer off, and during the
whole time they were away they were seen by six persons,
including Mrs. Hatch. The names of these persons were—
Baron Martin said that it would be convenient if before
entering upon these particulars Mr. Chambers would state
what were the pleadings in the case.
Mr. Chambers—Certainly. They were that the plaintiff
being in charge on the allegation that ho had commmitted
certain offences, and being about to appear before the
magistrate at Wandsworth retained the Messrs. Lewis for
fee and reward, to conduct the case and defence of the
plaintiff preparatory to and during
the hearing of the
charges, and that after the plaintiff had been committed *o
prison by the magistrate to take his trial, he engaged the
defendants to prepare and conduct the defence before and
during his trial at the Central Criminal Court, and that in
consideration thereof; the defendants promised to use all
proper skill and diligence;
and the plaintiff said that after-
wards he was in due time indicted and tried; and that by
reason of the negligence • of the defendants, and their not
using proper skill and care, the plaintiff was, upon the said
trial at the Central Criminal Court, convicted of the
charges made against him, and sentenced thereupon to
two years hard labour for the offence. it was further
alleged that the plaintiff was disgraced and degraled, and
put to 'expense and trouble in obtaining his pardon, and
also in prosecuting Eugenia Plummer, against whom he
obtained a conviction for perjury. There could not be a
more important case—first, with regard to Mr. Hatch, who
alleged that by the negligence of the Messrs, Lewis he had
been injured; seconi, with regard to the Messrs. Lewis
themselves as to their professional duties ; and third, to the
public and to the great profession of which Messrs. Lewis
were members. He should show that from first to last the
Lord Chief Baron took a very peculiar and unusual view a
the case on the part of Mr. Hatch, being guided and governed
by a one-sided view. The Lord Chief Baron proceeded to
sum up the case entirely against Mr. Hatch, and laid down
some positions of law which might be easily contro-
verted; the result being that the Lord Chief Baron—

Mr. Chambers said that -vas not the only negligent e
complained of. Mr. Lewis, at the police-court, put into the
witness-box an unexamined witness, which brought Mr.
Lewis within the general allegation of a want of the due
care and diligence which an attorney ought to exercise.
Moreover, it was alleged that Mr. Lewis examined
the witnesses so carelessly that the magistrate com-
mitted Mr. Hatch for trial, offering at the same
time to admit him to bail. Mr. Hatch was committed
to Horsemonger•lane Jail, and Mr. Lewis was over and
over again entreated to go there and see him, but Mr.
Hatch never saw him there until a day or two before the
trial. (The learned counsel, at some length, entered into
particulars in reference to the alleged refusal of Mr. Lewis
to call witnesses on the trial, in defiance of the fre-
quently expressed wishes of Mrs. Hatch, who took all her
witnesses to the Old Bailey—witnesses not only to facts
but to character.) The result of the trial everybody knew.
He did not blame Mr. Sergeant Ballantine for not calling
witnesses—he would have been a madman to do so under
the circumstances—because the facts were not accurately
laid before him by the attorneys who instructed him.
He would hand up to their lordships this ragged
brief, and he thought it merited the appellation of a

" thief's brief," that is, such a brief as would, in point of
fact, be prepared for the defence of a thief known to be
guilty. He made no charge against Mr. Sergeant Ballan-
tine, but what he said was this, that the attorney did not
do his duty between the client and the counsel. Mr. Lewis
took £76; he said £44 was outlay, the rest was for him-
self. His case was this : his brother saw Mr. Hatch
once, he saw him twice, he wrote the heading of the
brief, and Met some other trifling sei vieee +h.
first attorney of the land would not have made out a
legitimate bill of costs for more than £lO 10s. This was
a prima facie case, to be supported by two children.
True, but six months' experience would teach us that
children would bear their own examination better
than any one else. It was, indeed, impossible to
break them down, and if the counsel for a moment
lost his temper and pressed the child who was in the
box severely, every man in the Court became the defender
of the children, and the case of the unfortunate accused was
injured. In a difficult case like this the attorney ought in
the first place to have gone and seen the house where the
offence was alleged to have been committed ; he should
have got the evidence of the witness and inserted it in
the brief of counsel. Then the counsel would have been
able to decide at the close of the case for the prosecution
whether he had so far broken down the testimony that
he ought not to call witnesses, but if he had not he
could have brought forward the evidence of the wit-
nesses whose names appeared in his brief. Then Mrs.
Hatch suggested that Field, the detective, should be
sent to make inquiries about the Plummers. Mr. Lewis
said, "No, Field is a fool ; Brennan is my man," and
Brennan was sent, and what was Brennan's evidence at the
trial of this cause? He said he having been to the neigh-
bourhood of the Plummers had discovered a clue—he had
found where a servant, formerly in their employment, was
to be found, who could give information as to whether the
children were truthful, and where they had been at school.
Mr. Lewis said to him here is £5 for you, you need make
no further inquiries, as we have determined not to call wit-
nesses. Then there was another subterfuge, that Mr. Lewis
had had frequent interviews with Mr. Sergeant Ballantine,
and informed him of the facts that were not in the brief,
and the fact was that Mr. Lewis had not informed him-
self of those facts, and, therefore, he could not impart
a knowledge of them to Mr. Ballantine. The learned
counsel then proceeded to state the facts as to how the
charge was originally made by Mr. Plummer in a letter
to the Bishop of Winchester, and how Mr. Hatch had
resigned his situation on the suggestion of Mr. Onslow. He
then stated the evidence given on the prosecution of Mr.
Hatch, and on the prosecution of Eugenia Plummer, show-
ing how the cue would have contradicted the other, and
argued that had Mr. Sergeant Ballantine known (and Mr.
Lewis ought to have informed him) the evidence that the
witnesses could give he would have called them, and thus
contradicted Eugenia Plummer, and secured Mr. Hatch's
acquittal. Again, then, there was the child" Lucy Hatch
she was a very important witness, but he did not find so
much fault with what Mr. Lewis had done with respect to
her as he did in not calling the independent witnesses in
waiting at the trial. Had he done so the jury would have
said, we have had enough of this painful case and a favour-
able verdict t..) his client would have been returned.
Eugenia Plummer having been convicted of perjury the
younger child Stephanie not having been proceeded against
his lordship, he thought, had made some observations
against Mr. Hatch's position.
Lord Chief Baron—No. I certainly did not. I said
nothing of the kind. In my opinion the law went as far
as it could go in convicting such a child as Eugenia.

Mr. Chambers said he thought at the time that was the
effect of his lordship's observation, but he was glad ho was
under a misapprehension. With respect to the summing-
up of the learned Chief Baron, he thought the jury were
misled. In the first place, ho objected to his lordship
telling the jury that in order to find a verdict for the
plaintiff they must be satisfied that conviction fol-
lowed negligence. Secondly, he thought it was a
misdirection in excluding from the consideration of the
jury all matters relating to the petition of Mr. Hatch; and
the great blot of all was that his lordship had misled
the jury by saying, aft ,r Sergeant Ballantino had given
his evidence, in which ho took the whole responsibility
of not calling witnesses, that there was an end of the case.
Lord Chief Baron—Mr Chambers; I beg to state that that
did not take place. What I said was there is an end of
the case as far as the calling witnesses is concerned.
The learned gentleman having commented on several
portions of the summing up,

he (Mr. Chambers) completely exonerated the jury—
in order to show the jury that Mr. Hatch ought , to
lose the case, misled the jury into one of the

most curious verdicts ever delivered in a court of
justice. The singularity of the verdict appeared to Lave

been produced by the Lord Chief Baron thinking that it
was desirable and just that Messrs. Lewis should gain the
verdict, and that Mr. Hatch should lose it, so that between
the difficulties the jury seemed to say that Messrs. Lewis
had been guilty of negligence, and gave a formal verdict of
forty shillings, which, he contended, ought to be set aside.
That verdict might have been submitted to by Mr. Hatch
had not the Lord Chief Baron refused to certify until he
saw whether a compromise could be effected, by holding
over his certificate until the lapse of time in which a new
trial could be moved for.

The Lord Chief Baron said he had thought from the first
that the jury who tried Mr. Hatch ought to have accuitted
him. He thought that the story told against him was in-
credible to the point of impossibility. His opinion was that
the jury found him guilty when circumstances which had
reached them prejudical to Mr. Hatch's character. At the
same time, he thought that the best way of meeting the
case was that which Mr. Sergeant Ballantine had adopted,
even if he had known everything.
Their lordships reserved judgment.

The Lord Chief Baron (excitedly)—That was one of the
reason I refused to cet tify. I refused to be a party to any
compromise. If you wish, Mr. Chambers, to move for a
new trial, you can do so ; but I may tell you, that an inti-
mation was held out to me that if I would give a certificate
there would be no motion for a new trial ; and I think the
remarks you have made are most improper. Make your
motion and do as you please. I think it is a very improper
thing to attempt to overawe a judge in the way that has
been done in the exercise of his discretion, and I sent you
here to make any remarks you please.
Mr. Chambers—You did not send me here, because I did
not appear before you on the summons.
Mr. Garth said that, when he made his motion in cham-
bers, his lordship asked him whether either of the parties
intended to move fora new trial.
The Lord Chief Baron said that it was not the first time
he had heard of a suggestion for such a compromise.
Mr. Chambers said that how a judge could hear pro-
posals in reference to such matters before application was
made to him, it was net for him to say.
The Lord Chief Baron repeated that he was certainly led
to believe that if he had given a certificate for costs there
would be no motion for a new trial.
Mr. Chambers said there never had been any intention of
the kind. He had been told that the Lord Chief Baron had
stated that he would wait till the expiration of the first four
days of term before he granted a certificate.
B zon Channel said that ever sines he had been on the
bench he had adopted that course, and had never had any
doubt about its correctness.
