in great peril, and do great injury to innocent per-
sonce If the will was really made on the 14th of
April, his lordship thought, from the evidence of
Dr. Evans, who was admitted on all hands to be a
gentleman of the highest character and respect-
'ability, there could be little doubt that on the 14th,
when she made the will, Mrs. Higgins Was in a
sound and disposing state of mind. If the jury
were satisfied on that point they would probably
consider it a matter of great importance. His lord-
ship, here referred to three entries in Ost:orne's
book which confirmed his (Osborae's) evidence,
and also Smith's book, and that of the innkeeper,
to the same effect. If those were genuine entries,
and not forgeries, it seemed to confirm the evidence
given as to the day when the will was executed.
is lordship here referred to the evidence of the
attesting witnesses, one of whom—Robinson—did
not seem to'be very favourable to the defendants,
and cautioned the jury against upsetting a will
which had been attested as this had been. His
lordship then read over the evidence of Mr. Smith
and his clerk (Osborne), and said that if their ac-
count was true the was valid ; for, however
improper it might be that a will should be so
executed in favour of the attorney's ; there
was no objection in point of law.
His lordship was still engaged in summing up the
evidence when we were compelled to close our
despatch.

CHARGE: OF INDECENT ASSAULT ON A
FEMALE BY A BROKER.

...-----.4)---..----

Yesterday. William Henry Wyld, a sworn broker,
carrying on business in Lambeth, was brought be-
fore Mr.- Burcham; at Southwark Police-court,
charged with indecently assaulting Maria Morpeth,
a respectable-looking young female, 18 years of age,
with intent to commit a certain offence.
Mr. Solomon appeared for the accused.
The prosecutrix, who gave her evidence in a very
straightforward scanner, stated that she lived with
her parents in Salutation-street; Stamford-street,
and. her father was a compositor. Shortly after
two o'clock on the afternoon of the 12th inst., the
prisoner came to their house and put in a distress
for 2/. 19s. 6d. rent due to the landlord. She was
at home with her elder brother, a sister 14 years
of age, and a sister 12 years old. The former left
the house to go' for their mother. As soon as he
was gone the prisoner and his man commenced
taking an inventory, when the prisoner came to-
wards her and said he bad better go upstairs and
see what were there, at the same time telling her
to follow him. She did so, and her little brother
and sister wanted to come after them, but the pri-
soner told them to go back, •as they were not
wanted, as he was going to see if they could not
put some of the things away. When they got
into the top room he sat on the bed and took an
inventory of the things there. While he was, doing
so be jumped up and locked the door. Witness
was looking.out of the window then, but she asked
him why he had done that ? He made no reply,
but caught hold her and attempted to pull her on
the la?d, at the same time acting very improperly
towards her. He exposed himself, also, and pulled
out a purse, from which he took a Is. and offered
it to her, saying that she would want it before
Saturday, as she would then be starved. She strug-
gled hard, and got away from him, indignantly re-
pulsing his insults, and then she found the door
unlocked and ran down stairs. There was no one
there then but the man in possession and her
little brother and sister, whom she did not like to
tell what had happened. The latter, however,
asked her what was the reason the door was locket,
and the cause of the noise in the room. Shortly
after that her elder brother entered the house, and
she told him how the prisoner had treated her, and
then he was given into custody.
In cross-examination' by Mr. Solomon, witness
said that what she had stated was all true. She
had not trumped up the charge to save her father's
goods. They had all been conveyed away when he
was given in charge. When the prisoner locked
the door she went towards it to get out, but the
prisoner seized hold of her and indecently assaulted
her. She diel..not call out or make any alarni, but
she struggled acid got away.
Walter Morpeth, witness's elder brother, 20 years
of age, said that when she told him the manner the
prisoner had treated her, he went out and asked
the advice of a neighbour, who returned with him
to the house. He then fttched a constable, and
at that time.his mother came in, and then the pri-
soner was given into custody. Witness informed
his worship alt that his sister had told him, and that
was corroborative of her testimony.
Police-constable 103 L, said when he took the
prisoner into custody the goods were all being re-
moved from the house in a van. When told of the
charge, he denied having committed any such
offence.
Mr. Solomon, for the accused, said he was in-
structed to say that he was a respectable moral man,
being married and having a large family of children,
whom he brought up in the paths of virtue and
honesty. , He denied most emphatically the charges
made against him, -and assured him (Mr. Solomon)
that they .were: trumped up with the view of pre-
venting him making his levy on her father's goods.
He called the landlord of the house to speak to his
moral character, and the man in possession, but
the latter knew nothing of what occurred at the
top of the house.
Mr. Burcham said that as he denied the charge
he must send him to the sessions for trial, as there
was nothing to contradict the girl's evidence. It
was a bailable offence, therefore he would accept
two sureties for his appearance at the sessions.

The 44th, 66th, and 72d Regiments will embark
at Portsmouth about the 18th inst. for India.

The two troop ships Victoria and Sydney, for
Madras and Calcutta, although actually under way
on Wednesday evening at 5 o'clock from Woolwich
pier, were recalled by an order from the East
India House, whence Mr. Ritherton, the sur-
veyor to the Board, has been despatched for the
purpose of detaining the vessels, iu order to com-
plete the full shipment of the extraordinary amount
of ammunition and cartridges to be supplied to the
troops now embarked,—namely, 400 rounds per
man. The Victoria had already proceeded a full
half mile down the river, and on her return she
commenced transshipping her ammunition already
embarked to the Sydney. The Victoria consequently
steamed down yesterday evening alone at 5 p.m. for
Portsmouth, to take on board her supply from the
Ordnance department there. The Sydney remains
at Woolwich to complete the shipment first intended
—namely, 117,650 rounds of the 53 improved pat-
tern cartridges for the Enfield rifle, 230,000 rounds
of ordinary artillery cartridges, and a full comple-
ment to supply the 24-pound bitter), howitzer
battery shipping on board that vesseL The task
of paying the corps of Royal Marines about
to embark on the China expedition commenced
yesterday morning, and by noon eatth man had
received a month's pay in advance, amount-
ing to a total of upwards of 900/. Arrangements
were also made for an allotment for the wives and
families of the married men of the corps, by which
they are comfortably provided for. As soon as the
gallant fellows made their appearance in the streets
the cheering was most enthusiastic. They were
preceded along their line of route to the Arsenal by
the regimental band, as well as that of the Royal
Artillery, and were greeted by a continual shout of
acclamation. Arrived at the foot of the pier, the
Artillery companies for India on board the Victoria
and Sydney, who had mounted the rigging, set up
a vociferous shout of applause, which was returned
in kind.

The uudermentioned officers and privates of the
artillery companies of the Royal Marines embarked
on board the Adelaide for Hong gong :—Lieut.-
Colonel Holloway, aide-de-camp to the Queen, in
chief command ; Major Scomberg, Lieuts. Festing,
Williams, CreaF.e, and Crawford, 5 sergeants, 5
corporals, 3 bombardiers, 2 drummers, and 80
gunners, as well as Capt. Parke, Capts. Tribe,
Usher, and! Pyra : First "Lieutenants Evans,

The Lords of the Admiralty having ordered the
battalion of Royal Marine Light Infantry stationed
at Deal to be broken up, the first detachment, con-
sisting of two companies, numbering 200 non-com-
missioned officers and men, under the command of
Captain F. L.!Alexander, with Lieut. C. L. A. Far-
mar, Lieut. E. Spry, Lieut. F. H. Ruel, and Lieut.
F. W. A. Boyd, arrived at head-quarters, Chatham,
on Wednesday evening. The remaining companies,
with the Staff, under the command of Lieutenant-
Colonel J. H. Gascoigne, will arrive at Chatham in
the course of a few days. The companies of Marines
stationed at Lewes are also to be withdrawn.

Preparations are being made at Woolwich for the
removal of the Adjutant-General's official estab-
lishment to London forthwith. Col. Pallier, As-
sistant Adjutant-General at Woolwich, having re-
tired from that post, has been succeeded by Lieut.-
Col. Bingham, Lieut.-Col. Wodehouse C. 8., hav-
ing been appointed to succeed Lieut.-Col. Bingham
as Deputy-Assistant Adjutant-General.

BAIL WAY INTELLIGENCE.

DUBLIN, THURSDAY MORNINL

NORTHERN AND EASTERN.

LIBERATION OF JAMES SPOLLEN.
At 11 o'clock yesterday James Spollen left the
Richmond gaol in a covered car, accompanied by
an immense mob, and proceeded to the Broadstone,
to a house adjoining the railway premises, where
his son James has lodged since the commencement
of the trial. After remaining here some time he
boldly sallied forth and addressed a large crowd of
persons in terms pretty similar to those which he
employed in the dock, abusing his wife and the
crown lawyers. The police are in possession of his
eDttage at the railway, which they again searched
yesterday, having been informed that a larger por-
tion of the company's money, not yet recovered,
is secreted about the house. Some persons have
even spoken of a subscription for Spallen, but on
all hands the position of bis miserable wife and
helpless younger children is commiserated. A large
number of visitors from England and the Irish
provinces visited the railway yesterday, and ex-
amined the different localities—the forge, green-
house, ram, river, &c., which htZve assumed some
some sort of historic importance fro this remark-
able case. There is a very general impression
'abroad that the murder of Mr. Little will not
lapse into the catalogue of undiscovered and un-
punished crime, which, unfortunately, whatever
be the cause, is swelling largely in this country.
It may he that accomplices in the assassination
will yetvbe _traced. A great difficulty has been
presented. during the investigations by the fact that
the directors of the company have been unable to
form the slightest estimate as to the total amount
abstract4l from the room of Mr. Little. The Irish
press, generally, concur in the verdict of the jury,
on the ground that there was in the evidence room
for that •'!. reasonable doubt," which Chief Justice
Monahan so emphatically dwelt upon as necessitating
an acquittal

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held
yesterday at the Bishopsgate station of the Eastern
Counties Railway, and the guaranteed dividend at
the rate of 5 per cent. and 6 per cent, per annum
on the guaranteed stocks were declared for the half-
year ending the 30th of June last.
