ROBSON AND BEDPATH IN NEWOATE,

A great many erroneous statements have been
in circulation in reference to these prisoners, and
among them was one that Robson had gone out of
his mind, and that he had been removed to Beth-
lehem Hospital as a criminal lunatic. There is
not the slightest truth in this story. It appears
that he is occasionally subject to an effusion of
blood to the brain, and, upon one occasion since he
has been in Newgate, he had a sort of fit, but
otherwise his health is perfectly good ; and he per-
forms with cheerfulness the tasks that are imposed
upon all persons in his unhappy situation, such as
cleaning out his cell in his turn with the other
prisoners confined in the same ward, picking
oakum, die. Redpath, upon his first admission to
the gaol, it appears, Was inclined to resist the prison
rules, and appeared to 'think it absurd that a man
of his station should have to perform the degrad-
ing offices that must be necessarily carried out by
persons in his condition. But he very soon learned
that in Newgate there was no distinction of per-
sons, and that all offenders against the law who
were sent to that place
of confinement had no
alternative but to conform to the regulations ; and
he therefore was obliged to do the same, and he
now has to go through the same course of discipline
.
as that which would be imposed upon the meanest
felon. Robson and Redpath are not in the same
ward, but they occasionally see each other while at
work. They have, however, no means of commu-
nicating together, although, no doubt, the mere
fact of seeing each other in such a condition must
at times awaken strange feelings in their breasts.
Is both the prisoners have been adjudged bank-
rupts, and their affairs are in the Bankruptcy
they will probably remain for a considerable
in Newgate, and they will then be removed
1
Penitentiary at Millbank. From thenceon
attCoilmolutpehrret' probability, they . will go to the Model Prison,
where they will remain for 18 months, on " proba-
tion," as it is termed, before their removal from
this country.

FORGERY ON THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE SANK.

Mr. Hawkins showed cause against a rule which had
been obtained at this court to rescind an order of Mr.
Baron Bramwell for the arrest of the defendant, and to
discharge him from custody. The order had been shade
on the ground that he intended to leave England. The
defendant swore in the affidavit on which this rule was
obtained that on his arrival in England from the Cape
of Good Hope he was taken into custody on a charge of
forgery, and brought before the Lord Mayor, at the
Mansion-house, who, after several remands, discharged
him ; that he was arrested by a creditor, on the ground
that he was about to quit England, and detained on
three other actions. That he had been discharged by Mr.
Justice Willes, Mr. Justice Coleridge, and Mr. Justice
Crompton, on those detainers on applications similar to
the present one. He also swore that he intended to
marry and reside in England, and he introduced a letter
from the lady to whom he was about to be married to
confirm that fact. His atttorney also swore that he be-
lieved the contents of that letter, and that portion of the
defendant's affidavit to which it referred. The learned
counsel stated that the defendant had been guilty of
forgery, or uttering a forged letter in the Cape of Good
Hope, upon which he bad obtained from the plaintiffs in
this action 811. The Lord Mayor had discharged the
defendant on the ground that he had no jurisdiction over
the offence. Ile also contended that the defendant was
not to be relied on, and that as soon as be obtained his
discharge he would leave .England, as the plaintiff had
sworn that the criminal charge would be renewed as
soon as fresh evidence could he procured.
Mr. Field, for the defendant, contended that the facts
on the affi 'Ewa fully warranted the court in coming to
the conclusio❑ that the defendant did not intend to leave
England.
The Chief Baron thought that the rule ought to be
discharged. He fou❑d, on looking into'the affidavits, that
the lady's letter corroborated the defendant as to the in-
tended marriage, but it was silent as to their future resi-
dence, and the affidavit of the defendant'sr attorney was
sworn with a scrupulous avoidance of any pledge that he
believed the defendant when be sNore that his intention
was to live in England after his marriage. In his opi-
nion, if the rule were wade absolute, the defendant would
leave the country within 24 hours.
Mr. Baron Martin said he entirely agreed in the view
which had been taken by the Chief Baron on the affida-
vits, and added that he was of opinion that the defen-
dant's attorney knew perfectly well that his client in-
London, England, 1857-02-02

compelled to submit. Indeed the only difficulty
ould be in assessing the capitalised value of
industrial incomes, and that would be avoided
under a Property Tax deserving of the name.
It is perfectly ridiculous to speak of the con-
tents of the larder on a particular day. These,
in the hands of the consumer, are matters for
immediate use; they cannot be classed as savings or
permanent property. Tha butcher who supplies them
will, of course, be charged on the average of his
stock in trade and the goodwill of his business—
for these are matters that can at once be converted
into money, which he can invest at his will and
pleasure. It is indeed making mountains of
molehills to fancy that such over-strained objec-
tions can be regarded as of auy real weight. On
the other hand we cannot conceive a more suit•
able object of the tax than the man who can
afford to invest, say 1,0001. in a picture, or a
statue, or any other work of art. The man who
can afford to do so can also afford to pay for its
use. It is purely a matter of luxury, and there-
fore, according to every financial writer, the best
possible subject for taxation. It is true it does
no harm. Far frem it. Neither does the use of
tea or sugar, or malt liquids in moderation.
And yet the latter, being matters almost of
necessity, are heavily charged, while the picture,
or statue, or other work of art, a mere supeliuity,
escapes scot free.

SWEARING IN OF THE COMMON SERGEANT.

On Saturday Mr. T. Chambers, the newly-elect-

the conclusion of the ceremony, the hon. and
learned gentleman addressed the, Court in the fol-
lowing terms :—My Lord Mayor,—The report

I am laid to that corporation ; and if, in addition to
the tie of gratitude by which I should be bound
to this corporation, any more sacred tie were
necessary to secure the diligent and faithful dis-
charge of the important duties committed to me,
the full investment into the responsibilities and
functions of my office by the solemn oaths just ad-
ministered to me, would, I trust, in my own con-
science and in the estimation of those to whom I
am responsible, be a full security that I shall dis-
charge those duties not only in the presence of an
enlightened and candid community, but to the
satisfaction of all who are interested in the full,
faithful, and impartial administration of justice.
(Hear, hear.) My desire and aim, my constant
effort, my Lord Mayor, will be so to discharge the
important duties of the office of your common ser-
geant as that every gentleman of this Court, and
every member of this great community, shall feel
that the interests of the administration of justice,
though intrusted to one of humble abilities and
humble professional learning and experience, are
at least entrusted to one with the highest sense of
the obligation under which he has come to devote
every power he possesses to their right discharge,
so as at once impartially to administer justice be-
tween the Crown and the community, and between
the members of the community severally, who
shall be litigant before me, and to maintain, un-
impaired, that high character of the administra-
tion of justice in the British dominions, whether
administered by judges appointed by favour of the
Crown, or by favour of this great corporation.
(Cheers.) In the discharge of those duties, I shall
have, I am sure, the assistance of the experienced
and able magistrates whom I see around me, as
well as that of my excellent friend tho Recorder,
who has had so long a judicial experience in the
service of this corporation. I trust, my Lord
Mayor, that every successive year during which I
may continue to hold this office in your service I
may find the members of this corporation remain-

CRIMINAL COURT—(This Day.)

OLD COURT.
(Before the Recorder.)
The February sessions of this Court c3intnenced this
morning, before the Lord Mayor, the Recorder, the
Common-sergeant, Aldermen Sir J. Musgrove, Sir R.
W. Carden, Kennedy, and Lawrence, Mr. Sheriff Mechi,
Mr. Sheriff Keats, Mr. Under-Sheriff Crosley, Mr.
Under-Sheriff Anderton, &c,, &c.
The first edition of the calendar contains the names
of 120 prisoners.

The Recorder, in charging the grand jury, expressed
his regret at finding so large a number of prisoners on
ti,e calendar, notwithstanding the short period that had
elapsed since the adjournment of the Court, not a
month since. The cases were not of a very serious
or difficult character, and there appeared to be
Only one charge invoiving the destruction of human
life, that of a chemist's apprentice, who gave by
mistake a customer prussic acid for castor oil, be
being at the time engaged in making up a pre-
scription, in which prussic acid was used, and thus caused
his death. If the facts were made out to their mind, the
party so charged was guilty of manslaughter, and it was
well it should be known that persons dealing with deadly
drugs, such as prussic acid, were bound to use the neces-
sary degree of caution to prevent such calamitous acci-
dents, and that if they neglected to do so, and death
resulted, that they were liable to be punished for it.
The learned Recorder next alluded to the case of a person
in the calendar charged with endeavouring to defeat the
ends of justice, by preventing a person giving evidence
in that Court on a charge of felony. Such a proceeding
was looked upon by the law as one of a very serious
character, and undoubtedly, if any person were convicted
of the offence, he would be punished most severely.
The grand jury were then dismissed to the perform.
ance of their duties.

now has to go through the

as that which would be unposed
felon. Robson and Redpath are not in the same
ward, but they occasionally see each other while at
work. They have, however, no means of commu-
nicating together, although, no doubt, the mere
fact of seeing each other in such a condition must
at times awaken, strange feelings in their breasts.
As both the prisoners have been adjudged bank-
rupts, and their affairs are in the Bankruptcy
Court, they will probably remain for a considerable
time in Newgate, and they will then be removed
to the Penitentiary at M illbank. From thence, in
all probability, they . will go to the Model Prison,
where they will remain for 18 months, on " proba-
tion," as it is termed, before their removal from
this country.

SWITZERLAND.

A letter from Berne of the 29th Jan. gives the
following as the instructions transmitted to the
Swiss Envoy Extraordinary at Paris by the Federal
Council :-1. The Confederation cannot grant the
King of Prussia the right to maintain the title
of Prince of Neuchatel ; as an independent
State it cannot acknowledge such a title. 2. The
re establishment of the bourgeoise is inadmissible.
3. The pretensions of the King of Prussia to the
domains are rejected, as they never were his private
property. 4. No private guarantees can be given
to the Royalists, inasmuch as they are already gua-
ranteed by the Federal and Cantonal Constitution.

PRUSSIA.
BERLIN, JAN. 29.
•
There is nothing even yet to be reported from
kere of a positive nature with regard to any at-
tempt at arranging the moot point of the King of
Prussia's sovereignty of Neuchatel, which has been
de facto in abeyance ever since 1848. Without
pretending to know what may be doing in Paris,
at the instigation of the Swiss Government, to
bring about conferences, or pave the way for the
question being solved by means of diplomatic cor-
respondence, we believe we can at least state that
nothing definite has been settled there, inasmuch
as Prussia being one of the principals something
would be known here of any arrangement having
been made. No trace at present of anybody's
knowing anything of the sort is'known here. Al-
though the question of what terms the King will
put forward as the condition of hisceding his rights
1, a secondary one in point of time, it is one of
foremost importance for the King and his Govern-
ment to decide upon before the meeting of con-
forenct sor the opening of negotiations. But even
on this point no decision has been arrived at.

It is Understood that the Grand Duke Constan-
tine will return hither from Hanover next week
for a short say at this Court. Though there ap-
pear to be no definitive arrangements as yet made
for his visit to Paris, it is believed that it will not
be long before it is put into execution.

A letter from -Vienna of the 26th Jan., in the
Hamburgh News, says :—" It is positively stated
that the government intends to secure by fortifica-
tions all the points of the Austrian network of rail
ways which have a strategical importance, com-
mencing by the Summering railway, where build-
ings for the reception of troops are to be con-
structed."—Another letter from Vienna, in the
Hamburgh News, confirms the accounts published
with respect to the approaching evacuation of the
principalities, and states that a portion of the Aus-
trian troops quartered there are to be garrisoned
at Vienna, and the remainder dismissed to their
homes.

ST. HELEN'S.

On Eriday the proprietors of this canal and railway
company held their half-yearly meeting at the railway
station, St. Helen's ; Mr. G. Greenhall in the chair. The
report stated that the increase in the gross traffic receipts
for the six months just ended, when compared with the
same period of 1856, was 5,2211., against which must be
placed an increase of working and renewal charges of
1,6031., and of interest on loans and preference divi-
dends of 9141. The gross revenue for the half-year was
40,4981., and the working charges, rates, taxes, and rents
amount to 15,2131. Or 371 per cent, on the receipts),
leaving a surplus of 25,185/. ; deducting from which for
interest on loans 7,4081., for renewal of permanent way
700/., and for additional works 5501.,-8,658/., left
16,5261., to which must be added the balance left after

ENGLAND'S Hertnouns.—The extensive works at Do.
ver, Holyhead, and Port'and, have been progressing for
a :!9.n,,iderable period, and have in the aggregate cost th
country many millions. Grave doubts are now enter.
tamed as to the results of the further extensions of
the treat arms or breakwaters which will be necessary
fur the sure protection of the harbours, and also as to
the permanence of the depth requisite for the practical
use of them by vessels of the largest class. In order
that the subject may be fully and properly investigated,
it is Understood the Government propose to appoint a
commis-ion of evil engineers of experience in marine
Works, and it is to be hoped the result of its report
will tend to the future judicious expenditure of the
public funds, instead of their being hurled into the sea
in the shape of huge gunpowder blasts of stone blocks,
‘N ith little heed as to the effects.upon future occasions of
sand, silt, and other debris. Messrs. J. Murray, J.
E. McLean, and H. H. Fulton are the names mentioned
as the three engineers to form the new commission.

CROMFORD AND HIGH PARK.

The half-yearly meeting of this c ,mpany was held at
Derby on Friday ; Mr. Francis Wright in the chair.
The report stated that the increased revenue had been
maintained, although no increased sources of income
hare be, n as yet derived from the recent expenditure.
The directors therefore recommend the payment of inte-
rest. on the debenture stock, class A, and of the dividend
of six per cent. to the preference shareholders. The
works between Buxton and Whaley are now in rapid
progress, and when they are completed the directors
hope to be able to show to the proprietors, the public,
and the Legislature that the line will be put in such a
state of completeness and efficiency as not only to meet
the very large goods traffic which may confidently be
expected on the opening of the Whaley junction with
the Disley line, but also to be worked with perfect
safety as a passenger line to Buxton, by which not only
great public accommodation will be secured, but also a
considerable additional revenue to this company.

The receipts for the half-year ending the 31st of Dec.
last amounted to 3,3001., while the balance due and
available was 2,1651. There was a decrease of 800 tons
weight, while there was an increase of 2201. in the
receipts over the corresponding period of 1855.
The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report, and
in reply to Mr. Goodwin said the act gave them power
to borrow 6,000/ , the whole of which would be required.
The retiring directors, Messrs. Wright, Arkwright,
and Needham, were re-elected, as was Mr. Wheatcroft,
one of. the auditors.

Resolutions adopting the report and authorising the
raising of 6.0001. were passed.
The meeting was adjourned until the 26th of Marcb,
in order that a register of the shareholders might lie
prepared and sealed at the adjourned meeting.

CANTERBURY HALL.

The great English tenor singer, Mr. Sims Reeves, has
recently bad the offer of a month's engagement from
the enterprising proprietor of this popular place of
amusement. The terms proposed were twelve hundred
pounds for the period stated, the sum to be paid into the
bands of any banker who might have been appointed by
Mr. Reeves. He has, however, for the present declined
the liberal proposition of Mr. Morton, but we understand
he will accept the proposal within a twelvemonth. An
Irish comic singer of the name of Collins is creating quite
an excitement there at present, and gains for himself
immense applause. Great preparations are making for
the annual full dress ball, which takes place on Wednes•
day, February 18.
