MODENA.

The Messaggere of Modena, of the 18th, declares
that a convention has been concluded with the
Holy See, by which it is established :-1. That the
donations granted by the Dukes of Modena to vari-
ous religious orders shall be understood to apply
only to those of their convents which exist within
the Modenese territory. 2. That the Dukes of
Modena shall have the power of transferring such
donations from one order to another, as circum-
stances may dictate. 3. That such property as is
at present considered of disputable origin, although
presumed to be ecclesiastical, shall revert to the
State. It then publishes a decree from the Grand
Duke,' enacting that whenever the Ducal Govern-
ment shall exercise any of the rights vested in it
by the said convention, the latter shall be speci-
ally quoted, and that the ecclesiastical pensions
secured on the disputed property above mentioned
shall be converted into rentes of the public debt.

LAW INT.

This Day.)

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.

(Sittings at Nisi Priul, at Westminster, before Lord
Chief Justice Cockburn and a Common Jury.)

BOYD AND WIFR V. STRANGWA.YR-7IIRIOUS DRIVING.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff., poor
persons, residing in the neighbourhood of Whitechapel,
to recover damages in compensation for a serious injury
indicted on the wife, through the reckless driving of the
defendant, a carman, carrying on business with his
mother, at 2, Hunt-street, Mile-end New Town. It ap-
peared from the evidence for the plaintiff, that about
half-past 10 o'clock on the night of the 2d of April last,
that his wife, who is a shoebinder, was crossing High-
street, Whitechapel, when she was knocked down by the
defendant, driving a horse and cart at a furious rate
along the street. He did not stop to ascertain the mis-
chief he had done, but accelerated his speed. A police-
man, who witnessed the accident, followed the defendant
in a cab, but he lost sight of him at Mile-end-gate The
poor woman, when taken up, was conveyed to the Lon-
don Hospital, where she was examined, and it was found
she bad four ribs fractured on the left tide, and five on
the right side. Her shoulder was dislocated, and she
received other injuries. She suffered very much, at d
remained in the hospital between three and four weeks.
About two o'clock in the morning the, policeman
above-mentioned saw the defendant in his cart re-
turning to the City, but so drunk that he was
unable to take proper care of it, and he took
him into custody and locked him up. The medical gen-
tleman who attended the plaintiff's wife at the hospital
gave it as his opinion that her lungs were prematurely

injured.

Mr. Sergeant Thomas, who cross-examined the witness
for the defendant, as to his identity, declined to call him
or any evidence for the defence, and suggested to Mr.
Sergeant Shee, who appeared for the plaintiff, that the
case should go to the jury without their addressing the
jury, which was acceded to.

The Lord Chief Justice, in summing up the case, said
that a great deal of time had been wasted in cross-exa-
mining the plaintiff's witness, to persuade the jury
that he was not the man who did the
mischief. It was no extenuation of con-
duct, the defendant instructing his counsel to deprive
this poor woman of compensation, by endeavouring to
cast doubts on his identity, when he did not dare to put
himself into the witness-box and face the jury. If there
was any foundation for believing he was not'the man
who committed the injuries, he should come forward
and pledge his oath to that fact. It had been proved
that he was driving a restive horse without any regard
to the lives and limbs of the public.
The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff,
damages 251.

observed a large quantity of b'ood and brains on the
road. This was about 7 o'clock. I observed a
quantity of rice spilled on the ground. Holmes
and I went to' Francis's, the parish constable, who
accompanied me to the house where Simpson lay.
I went to Mr. Milnes, the magistrate, and procured
a horse and went to Alfreton, and saw Superinten-
dent Duncan in the street, and told him of the mur-
der. I think it was about 11 o'clock when I got
to Alfreton. The superintendent sent a despatch
to Belper, to the chief constable, and I and Mr.
Duncan returned to Ashover, and proceeded to the
place where the murder had been committed and
wade further search. We saw footmarks opposite
whero the man had been shot, just as if the man,
whose footprints they were, had been right half
face. Opposite to where the deceased lay, we found
two pieces of wadding, one a yard from the body,
and the other about two yards distant. We searched
a long time for the watch and the pistol or gun,
but we could not discover anything.
George Duncan, superin. eudent of police, Alfre-
ton—On Friday night, the 13th, I met Sergeant
Gorham in the street at Alfreton, and he told me
a man named James Simpson had been murdered
at hill-top. I left Alfreton about half-past 11, and
arrived here about 1 o'clock. I got a lanter❑ and
made a search, and near to the place where I saw
blood I found two pieces of wadding, which I pro-
duce. There is no printing on the wadding. Got
the assistance of some constables, but could find
nothing. I received from Mr. Marshall a bullet
and some swan shot, which I produce. (The bullet
was completely flattened.)
Paul Brailsford, Atton, a boy, 12 years of age—
On Friday night I met a man on the top of the
hill, about 20 minutes to 5. He was a dark-look-
ing man, dressed in dark clothes, with a " billy-
cock" on. I thought I saw a barrel inside his coat.
He was about 200 yards from the three lane ends.
It was just going dusk at the time. Thera were two
boys with me, Thomas Haslam and John Turner,
both of them older than me. There were four girls,
Sarah and Ann Brailsford, Hannah Rytey, and
Mary Hopkinson. The man we saw was walking
on slowly towards Simpson's house. The man had
short dark whiskers.

A man now in custody was put in a room along
with others for the purpose of identification, but
the witness could not recognise any of the party as
the person whom he saw shortly before the murder.
This being the whole of 'he evidence, the jury
returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder" against
some person or persons unknown.
Her Majesty's Government have offered a reward
of 1001. for the apprehension and conviction of the
murderer, and a free pardon to any accomplice not
being the person who fired the shot.

THAMES.

IMPORTANT TO OMNIBUS PROPRIETORS AND THE
PUBLIC.—Mr. Thomas Schrier, omnibus proprietor, was
summoned before Mr. Selfe, and appeared in court at
12 o'clock at awn this.day, after the disposal of thenight
charges, to answer a charge of stopping longer than
was necessary to set down and take up passengers.
Police-constable Gray, No. 328 K, proved that the
defendant's omnibus stopped at the Black Swan, High.
street, Bow, to receive passengers before starting, for
8 minutes, and Inspector Eine, of the K division, said it
was likely to cause an obstruction, and that the defen-
dant was competing with the London General Omnibus
Company, and was fined on two summonses of a 'similar
nature last week by Mr. Yardley, and two of the oppo-
site company's drivers were fined by Mr. Yardley on the
same day, for a like offence. There were sometimes three
omnibus running up and down the Mile-end and Bow
roads at one time, the defendant's omnibus in the
middle, one before, and one behind.
Me. Selfe said that was the nursing !system, as it was
called, and ♦ery unfair. He had in his mind's eye the
Elephant and Castle, the York and Albany Tavern, the
Royal Oak, Westbourne-grove, the Green Man, Oxford-
street, and other places where omnibuses did start from.
It had been the custom from time immemorial for
coaches to start from inns and public-houses. It was
more an advantage to the public than otherwise. Loitering
on a journey should be avoided by all means, but there
should be some time allowed for an omnibus to stop at
the starting point, though he thought eight ininute,,
unless it was in a wide road, too much. He dismissed
the summons, because the accuser ought to have been
summoned, and he advised the defendant not to stop so
long again.

SIIRIOIN POACHING APPEAL—On Friday night, the
13th instant, a desperate encounter with poachers oo
curred in the woods at Sheriffhales, belonging to the
Duke of Sutherland. Between nine and ten o'clock, a
keeper, named Henry Oakley, and four watchers, were
on duty in the Cover, when they came into collision with
a gang of poachers, numbering about 30. Oakley'e dog
seized one of the gang, and Oakley at the same time
seized another, who escaped bis grasp, and made off.
Oakley followed in close pursuit, came up with bins at
the hedge bank, and struck at him with a stick, where-
upon the fugitive made a stab at Oakley with cone sharp
bayonet-like instrument, inflicting a serious wound below
the heart. Hunt, a watcher, then came up and struck
the po,cher a severe blow, whereupon the remainder of
the gang, came to his assistance and succeeded in res-
cuing him. They then turned the attack otlOakley
who was down on the ground. Fortunately he was
armed with a loaded pistol, which he had strength left
to fire off at his cowardly assailants, who scampered off.
Oakley was then conveyed home, where he now lies in
a very precarious state. The keeper's dog was stabbed
in many places. It is believed they had a horse and
cart with them, and that they came front the neighbo nr-
hood of Wolverhampton.—Shrewsbury Journal.,
TriE SUICIDE AT STEPNEY.—INQUEST.—An inquest
was held yesterday on the body of Maria Lewis, tloe
rung woman who destroyed herself, and nearly occa -
sioued the death of her child, by oxalic acid, as reported
in The Sum of Monday last. The deceased, who resides:
at the house of her sister and brother-in-law, 41, Uni on-
street, Stepney, was in distress of various kinds. She
worked at a sewing-machine, and, as she was a new
band, could only earn 2s. a-week. She bad been deserted
by the father of her child two years ago, and had re-
cently been keeping company with a young man, with
whom, on the day before her death, she had had a quar-
rel, on account of a cloak which his father suspected she
had taken from the house, but which was subsequently
found there. The jury returned a verdict of temporary
inuanity. The child is now out of danger.

WESTMINSTER.

ALUM= GROSS CIITRAGE. —Esmond William Edmon-
son, a young man, was charged with the following out-
rageous behaviour.
James Pryer, an old gentleman afflicted with asthma,
who keeps a cigar shop at Parkside, Knightsbridge,
stated that he and his son, who were both ill, were sit
Ling in the parlour next to the shop last night, when the
defendant and two other men entered the shop, and de-
fendant, in a load tone, swore and demanded a light.
Complainant told him to take one, upon which he again
swore, and after repeating his request for the light, said
he wanted some cigars. Seeing the other two men with
him, complainant was at first nfraid to go out, but as de-
fendant continued in the shop, he ultimately did, upon
which the defendant struck him a violent blow on the
chest. Complainant's son then came out, when, without
the least provocation, defendant struck bim a violent
blow on the mouth.
Mr. Arnold- -Was defendant drunk

Both complainants said they believed not.
Police-constable 120 B said, that seeing a crowd of
persons assembled he went to the spot, and outside the
shop saw the defendant rash upon the father and son,
and strike them both. The eon's mouth was streaming
with blood. Defendant was sober.
The accused's account of the transaction was that he
asked for a light, when he was told to take it, upon
which he and his friends asked for some cigars,
when the old gentleman told him, from the parlour, that
if he did not go be would come out and punch his head.
Mr. Arnold—What, because you wanted to purchase
cigars
Defendant -Yes.

Mr. Arnold—lt is rather an odd way, if your account
is correct, of carrying on the trade of a tobacconist.
Defendant continued his statement, in which he alleged
that, after the threat, he challenged the old man to come
out, when the son made his appearance and struok a
blow at him, which he (defendant) returned, but he
never touched the senior complainant.

Defendant called his two friends in support of the
statement, but their evidence was strangely au variance
with the testimony of the policeman.
Mr. Arnold said that he would leave a jury to decide
upon the conflicting testimony, whatever his notion
might be.
Defendant was remanded upon bail, in order that the
depositions may be prepared for trial.

THAMES.

IMPORTANT TO OMNIBI7B PROPRIETORS AND THE
PUBLIC.—Mr. Thomas Schrier, omnibus proprietor, was
summoned before Mr. Selfe; and 'appeared in court at
12 o'clock at noon this day, after the disposal of the night
cbarges, to answer a charge of stopping longer than
was necessary to set down and take up passengers.
Police-constable Gray, No. 328" K, proved that the
defendant's omnibus stopped at th? Black Swan, Higb-
street, Bow, to receive passenge,rs before starting, for
8 minutes, and Inspector E lis, of the K division, said it
was likely to cause an obstruction, and that the defen-
daut was competing with the London General Omnibus
Company, and was fined on two summonses of a similar
nature last week by Mr. Yardley, and two of the oppo-
site company's drivers were fined by Mr. Yardley on the
same day, for a like offence. There were sometimes three
omnibus running up and down the Mile-end and Bow
roads at one time, the defendant's omnibus in the
midel I, one before, and one behind.
Me. Selfe said that was the nursing 'system, as it was
called, and very unfair. He had in his mind's eye the
Elephant and Castle, the York and Albany Tavern, the
Royal Oak, Westbourne-grovs, the Green Man, Oxford-
street, and other places where omnibuses did start from.
It had been the custom from time immemorial for
coaches to start from inns and public-houses. It was
morean advantage to the public than otherwise- Loitering
on a journey should be avoided by all means, but there
should be some time allowed for an omnibus to stop at
the starting point, though he thought eight minutes,
unless it was in a wide road, too much. He dismissed
the summons, because the accuser ought to have been
summoned, and he advised the defendant not to stop so
long again.

AUSTRIA.

The Vienna Gazette officially announces a mea-
sure connected with the reduction of the Austrian
army, the Minister of War having orderedthe sus-
pension of the purchase of horses for military ser-
vice throughout the whole of the district of Moravia
and Sde:ia.
A Vienna letter in the Elberfeld Gazette says
"Prince Callimaki has lately had seveLal confer-
ences with Count Buol, durin4 which he declared
to him that his government had no intention of
occupying the principalities with a military force.
The assemblage of troops on the frontier bad, he
said, no other object than to guard against even-
tualities and to maintain order in the provinces on
the right bank of the Danube." On the same sub-
ject, the Augsburg Gazette, under its Vienna head,
says :—" The existence of a confidential note from
Turkey, which was delivered at the same time as
the second Turkish circular of the 28th ultimo,
appears to be admitted. In it, the Porte calls at-

1185

tention to the necessity of taking measures of pre-
caution in a military point of view. It is, in fact,
known that Turkey has already adopted some mea-
sures of the kind."

The Count de Flandre left Vienna early in
the morning of the 20th. Count O'Sullivan, the
Belgian ambassador in that city, and the members
of his legation accompanied H. R. H. to the rail-
way station, where a company of infantry was
drawn up to render him military honours. The
Prince was received at the railway station at Dres-
den by Prince George of Saxony, second son of the
King, and was conveyed by him in a. court carriage
to the Victoria Hotel.

-VIENNA, Nov. 22.—1 t is believed here that two
reasons induced the St. Petersburg Cabinet to ex-
press its resolve not to meddle in the Holstein-
Lauenbnrg question " as long as the sovereign
rights of the King of Denmark are respected."
The one reason is, that the Scandinavian move-
ment in Sweden and Norway, and in part of Den-
mark, makes it uneasy ; the other, that it is not
inclined to give offenca to the Prince of Prussia,
who is a patriotic German, and as firm of purpose
as his royal brother is the reverse.

SI/RIOTS POACHINQ AITIRAT.—On Friday night, the
13th instant, a desperate encounter with poachers 00
curred in the woods at Sheriffhales, beloeging to the
Duke of Sutherland. Between nine and ten o'clock, a
keeper, named Henry Oakley, and four watchers, were
on duty in the Cover, when they came into collision with
a peg of poachers, numbering about 30. Oakley'll dog
seized one of the gang, and Oakley at the same time
seized another, who escaped his grasp, and made off.
Oakley followed in close pursuit, came np with hive at
the hedge bank, and struck at him with a stick, where-
upon the fugitive made a stab at Oakley with some sharp
bayonet-like instrument, inflicting a serious wound below
the heart. Hunt, a watcher, then came up and struck
the polcher a severe blow, whereupon the remainder of
the gang, came to his assistance and succeeded in res-
cuing hies. They then tamed the attack onlOakley
who was down on the ground. Fortunately he was
armed with a loaded pistol, which he had strength left
to fire off at his cowardly assailants, who scampered off.
Oakley was then conveyed home, where he now lies in
a very precarious state. The keeper's dog was stabbed
in many places. It is believed they had a horse and
cart with them, and that they came frora the neighbour-
hood of Wolverhampton.—Shreusbury Journal.
THE SIIICIDI AT STITNNT.—INqussT.—An inquest
was held yesterday on the body of Muria Lewis, the
young woman who destroyed herself, and nearly occa-
sioned the death of her child, by oxalic acid, as reported
in The Sun of Monday last. The deceased, who resided
at the house of her sister and brother-in-law, 1, Union-
street, Stepney, was in distress of various k4inds. She
worked at a sewing-machine, and, as she was a new
hand, could only earn 2s. a- week. She had been deserted
by the father of her child two years ago, and had re-
cently been keeping company with a young man, with
whom, on the day before her death, she had had a quar-
rel, on account of a cloak which his father suspected she
had taken from the house, but which was subsequently
found there. The jury returned a verdict of temporary
isEanity. The child is now cut of danger.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (This Day.)

WESTMINSTER.

ALLEGED GROSS OUTRAGE —Esmond William Edmon-
eon, a young man, was charged with the following out-
rageous behaviour.
James Pryer, an old gentleman afflicted with asthma,
who keeps a cigar shop at Parks*, Knightsbridge,
stated that he and his son, who were both ill, were sit-
ting in the parlour next to the shop last night, when the
defendant and two other men entered the shop, and de-
fendant, in a loud tone, swore and demanded a light,
Complainant to'd him to take one, upon which he again
swore, and after repeating his request for the light, said
he wanted some cigars. Seeing the other two men with
him, complainant was at first afraid to go out, but as de-
fendant continued in the shop, be ultimately did, upon
which the defendant struck him a violent blow on the
chest. Complainant's son then came' out, when, without
the least provocation, defendant struck him a violent
blow on the mouth.
Mr. Arnold. -Was defendant drunk I

Both complainants said they believed not.
Police-constable 120 B said, that seeing a crowd of
persons assembled he went to the spot, and outside the
shop saw the defendant rash upon the father and son,
and strike them both. The eon's mouth was streaming
with blood. Defendant was sober.
The accused's account of the Iran-action was that he
asked for a light, when he was told to take it, upon
which he and his friends asked for some cigars,
when the old gentleman told him, from the parlour, that
if he did not go he would come out and punch his head.
Mr. Arnold—What, because you wanted to purchase
cigars?
Defendant —Yes.

Mr. Arnold—lt is rather an odd way, if your account
is correct, of carrying on the trade of a tobacconist.

Defendant continued his statement, in which he alleged
that, after the threat, he challenged the old man to come
out, when the son made his appearance and struck a
blow at him, which he (defendant) returned, but he
never touched the senior complainant.
Defendant called his two friends in support of the
statement, but their evidence was strangely au variance
with the testimony of the policeman.
Mr. Arnold said that he would leave a jury to decide
upon the conflicting testimony, whatever his notion
might be.
Defendant was remanded upon bail, in order that the
depositions may be prepared for trial.

PRUSSIA.

BKRLIN, Nov. 24.—The severo cold that has
set in here so suddenly seems to have produced an-
other change in the Royal plans, for yesterday the
King and Queen removed from Potsdam to
Charlottenburg without taking up their usual
residence in the Stadtschloss in Potsdam at all,
or waiting at Sans-Souci for the first fall of
snow, as the King had so lately decided. The
removal took place by land, and along the
country roads that have lately been repaired for
the occasion. We have no news at present how
the King bore the long drive, but as for some time
past his daily drives have been gradually length-
ened, and his strength has been regularly increas-
ing of late, we have every ground for assuming that
"no news is good news." The Prince and Prin-
cess of Prussia have had severe colds since they
took up their residence here in Berlin ; and, in
fact, it is rather difficult to find any family in
which the majority of its members is not affected
in some way with colds, sore throats, or catarrh.

Tho King of Prussia, says a tolegraphie despatch
from Berlin, has taken up his residence al Char-
lottenburg.

The Council of the States and the National
Council of Switzerland are convoked for the 7th
Dec. next.

The Madrid journals of the 21st do not contain
any political news. The Epoca affirms that the
Bank of Spain, by the measures which it took in
consequence of the run on it, deserves the thanks
of the country.

Accounts from Constantinople state that M. de
Gundlach, Prussian charge d'affaires, and M. de
Boutenieff, Russian Minister, have paid the usual
-visits to Resehid Pacha, the new Grata Vizir.

By order of the Emperor of Austria subscriptions
have been commenced for the victims of the gun-
powder magaziue at Mayence throughout the em-
pire. The Emperor has given 2,000f1. The clergy
are to lend their co-operation. .

In the sitting of the Second Chamber of Hesse
Darmstadt on Saturday, the President on taking
the chair made a short address, in the name of tha
Chamber, stating his sorrow at the terrible catas-
trophe at Mentz, and expressed a hope that the
Germanic Confederation would indemnify the in-
habitants for their loss.

A HUSBAND cIIAAGED WITH POISONING MS WIFE

A. master carter, named John Gay, was charged yes
terday before Mr. Mansfield, the stipendiary magistrate
to Poison his wife. The
withis 55
,attht attempting
wife's
49, It was stated that the
at Liverpool,
s g
complainant bad been taking medicine for some days,
and that on Saturday last her daughter by a former
husband saw Gay go into the bedroom, take some white
powder from a paper, and put it into his wife's medicine
bottle; and that on Monday, after taking some of the
medicine, Mrs. Gay was sick, and felt very unwell.
She told a police inspector, who called about some lead
that had been stolen., that she had been ill, and he took
the bottle away with him, and gave it to a surgeon to
analyse it. Mrs. Gay, who was called, stated that she
and liar husband quarrelled on Sunday, but she did not
believe that her husband had attempted to poison her.
Mrs. Gay's daughter, on being called, resolutely refused
to say anything against the prisoner, who, she said, was
as good to her as if he was her own father. An officer
who had charge of her stated that she had not been
tampered with, but had refused to aay anything since
her first statement about seeing the prisoner put the
powder into the bottle. The prisoner declared his in-
nocence, and Mr. Mansfield remanded this as yet unin-
telligible ease for a week.
