NISI PRIUS COURT. (Before Mr. Justice
Ca SSWELL.)
ELLIS V. THE WEST OF ENGLAND INSURANCE COMPANY.
This action was commenced early •on Friday
mareing, and was not concluded until two o'clock
to-(l4y,
. The action was brought on a policy of fire in-
sureness- for 5001., effected in defendants' office by the
upen his stock in -trade, he•having recently
carried (01 the inniness of a draper at ilulme. A
fire having occurred on his premisaa, his stock is
trade, to the value of the policy, was alleged to have
been consumed, soon at ,er which he beanie bankrupt,
and the present action was brought.by bis ao(ignves
in his name. The defendants pleaded a number of
pleas, alleging, amongst other things, non-payment
of the premium on the irs(licy, that the fire en the
plaintiff's premises was the result of carelessness, and
that the plaintiff has' fraudulently violated the condi-
tions of a. he policy. •
Mr. Watson, Q.C., and Mr. Aspland appeared for
the plaintiff, arid Mr. Martin, Q.C., Mr. Cowlirg,
and Mr. Hugh Hill for the defendants.
The Evidence on the part of the plaintiff was that
tit the time of the fire there were goods on the pre-
mises to the' full 'amount clairhed. For the defend.,
ants it 'was contended that there were scarcely any
good's on the premises at the time of the fire, and cer-
tainily not to the value of the policy ; and that for
these reasons the company resisted the payment as a
fraudulent,impositien•

CROWNCOURT.—(Refore Justice WIG HTMAN.)
James Smith, aged 16, way charged with having
on the 17 ch of April last feloniously assaulted his
mistress, Mrs. Hannah Knight, with a knife, with
intent to murder her, or to do her some grievous.,
bodily harm.
Mr. Pollock appeared for the prosecution, and
Mr. Monk far the defence.
It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutrix
that she was the wife of a pawnbroker carrying on
business ire Butler-street, Manchester, and that in
April last the prisoner, who had been in her hus-
band's service about six months, was accused of
having stolen sy. from a drawer. After this, on
the 17th of April, about 9 o'clock in the morning, as
the prosecutrix was sitting in the kitchen with her
back to the scullery, in which the prisoner was at
that time engaged, she suddenly felt the arm of
some person placed round her neck and a
knife plscsd against her throat. She im-
mediately put up her hands in self defence to
protect her throat, and seized hold of the knife, and
effer a struggle both fell to the ground, and im-
mediately the person who had attacked her, and whom
she did not see, ran away, and she heard the prisoner
crying out, " Oh, Mrs. Knight," and run through
the scullery into the yard, and thence into the street
crt big out "Murder." To the best of her belief the
person who assaulted her was the prisoner. Her
throat was scratched but did not bleed, and her hands
were cut. A knife was afterwards found in the scul-
lery with blood. upon. it. She had never had any
quarrel with the prisoner.
The Learned Counsel for the prisoner submitted
that the evidence would not sustain the charge in the
indictment, as the wounds on the hands of the prose-
cutrix had been made by herself in struggling with
the person who had attacked her, and the scratch on
the throat did not come within the legal definition of
a wound, and was not a felony within the Act. He
referred to the case of "R. v. Beckett," 1 M. and
R., 526.
The Learned Counsel for the prosecution con-
tended, that it was a sufficient wounding within the
statute if the jury were satisfied that it was the pri-
soner's intention) to wound the prosecutrix in the
throat, and that her hands were cut in her struggle to
prevent it.
His LORDSHIP was of opinion that the evidence
would not support the charge of wounding within the
meaning of the statute, as the skin of the prthecu-
trix's neck had not been cut, and the cuts on her
hands might have been made by herself in the struggle
which had taken place. The case must be dealt with
therefore as an assault.
The L.:.arned Counsel for the prisoner then ad-
dressed the jury in his defence, and
Ills LORDSHIP having summed up,
The jury found the prisoner Guilty, with a recom•
mendation to mercy.
Sentence was deferred.
Edward Walsh was charged wieh having, on the
6th of September last, aided and abetted in the man-
slaughter of Richard Lilly.
Mr. Monk appeared for the prosecution ; the pri-
soner wits undefended.
It appeared that on the 6th of last September a
prize fight tia.lc place at Crossness, near Manchester,
between Richard Lilly (he deceased) and John Mid-
dleton' on which occasion the prisoner acted as the
second of Lilly. The fight lasted two hours, and
shoAly after its termination Lilly died in conse-
quence of the injuries he had received. In the course
of the fight the prisoner had picked up the deceased
several times, as his second.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty.
His LORDSHIP, in passing sentence, expressed a
,trong opinion on the illegality and brutality of prize
fiatlVs ; as, however, thsre appeared to have been no
circumstances of unfairness, and the deceased had been
the aggressor, he should only sentence the prisoner to
be imprisoned one fortnight.

WESTERN CIR C U T— Br istol, Aug. 17.
MIL SlDE.—(Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE
and a Special Jury.)
EVANS V. LURRELL AND OTHERS.
. Mr. Butt, Mr. Sergeant Kinclake, and Mr. M.
Smith were coupsel for the Plaintiff; and Mr. Green-
wood, Mr. Stone, and Mr. Pninn for the de-
fendants.
The plaintiff was a shipowner, residing at Neath,
and the defendants were the representatives of the
Bristol Steam Navigation Company, and the action
was brought to recover damages for an injury which
the plaintiff alleged he had sustained by reason of the
steam-vessel of the defendants having run into his
schooner called the Liverpool Packet, trading between
Neath and Bristol, in consequence of the negligence of
the parties on board the steam-vessel called the Rose,
la-longing to the Bristol Steam Navigation Company.
On the 15th of January, the Liverpool Packet, having
taken in her cargo at Neath, proceeded on her regu-
lar voyage, under the command of Captain Westlake,
under whose care she had for years made her passage.
About half-past four o'clock in the morning the
.chooner passed the light-ship which marked the
Welsh and English grounds, the weather being dark
and cloudy. In about 20 minutes aftewards the Rose
passed her geiog down Channel. About half past five
the schooner was close-hauled on the larboard-tack,
Dearly opposite Walton Bay. She was proceeding up
Channel. Suddenly the Rose came upon her, and a
collision took place, the schooner being cut down
nearly to the water's edge. The bowsprit jib and
jib.day were carried away. The crew of the schooner,
expecting their vessel to go down, jumped on board
the steamer, but afterwards returned on board their
own vessel, but almost instantly hailed the Rose,
which was pursuing her course, and begged the cap-
tain to tow the schooner into shallow water, which
he did. The schooner was afterwards towed to Pill,
and ultimately to Bristol, where she was put into
dock, and remained eight weeks undergoing repairs.
The plaintiff claimed the amount he had paid for re-
pairs, and also compensation for the loss he had sus-
tained during the time the schooner was unable to
take her voyages, which together would amount to
about 2701.
Of course in such a case all depended upon which
captain was in fault, and a great number of witnesses
were examined on both sides, each throwing the
blame on the other.
Eventually, after a trial which lasted a day and a
bllt, the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—
Damages, 2431 7s.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HO US H.
William Berry was chargerl with having most
violently assaulted Mr. Eugenics Fenning, common
councilman, of the Poultry, in his warehouse, on
Friday.
Mr. Fenning said the defendant had lived in his
service about seventeen years ago, and there had been
relson fur discharging him. On Friday, while Mr.
Fermin; was in his counting house, the prisoner
entered and struck him three times across the shoulders
with a stick. The surprise was so great that there
was no time for preparation, but jug as the defendant
had inflicted the last blow, he received a knock.
down thump from one of the servants of the establish-
ment, and the police soon afterwards took proper care
of him.

The defendant—lt is true I did live with Mr. Fen-
fling seveut.en years ego, and I committed a sort of
a mistake, for which I was discharged. I went into
the shop on Friday last to speak to one of the men at
work there, and Mr. Knning thought proper to
,ccuse me or acts of dishonesty, and prote,ted ngains
My calling at his house. I was a good deal excite°

ILLICIT DISTILLATION.—Mary Gregg and Mary
Ann Adams were charged with carrying on illicit
distillation in an unentered place, in Amiel-street,
Bromley, Middlesex.
Alexander Smith, an Excise officer, stated that on
Friday evening he went to the house, N 0.17, Amiel-
street, obtained admission at the back door, and dis-
covered a still in the lower front room, which had
been recently at work. In the same room there
were other articles and utensils used in distillation. In
a room above that which contained the still, he disco-
vered a bottle containing half a gallon of strong
spirits, usually called " jig stuff," the produce of the
still, which was warm.
The woman Gregg, who gave the name of Smith
when she was first captured, said the still was her
own, and that the other woman, Adams, did not know
what was going on. She ropeated this statement be-
fore the m3gistrate, and there being no reason to be-
lieve that Adams had anything to do with the still she
was discharged, and Gregg was fined 801., and in de-
fault of payment committed for three months, and to
be kept to hard labour.

PLATE ROMIEBIEF.— W ildiam Penticrop was finally
examined upon two charges of ddrlng robberies of
plate.
Miss Matilda Curtis, of 18, Oxford-terrace, Clap-
ham-road, stated that on the morning of Thursday,
the Bth instant, between half-past ten and eleven
o'clock, she saw the prisoner, who was carrying a
bundle of herbs, go into the garden of a house opp.)-
site, and raise the window of a breakfast parlour. He
then crossed over the road to a man who had a basket
of herbs, and exchanged his bundle for the basket.
He returned to the house, and pushing the window
further up, went in, leaving the herb basket at the
window. After a minute's absence be returned with
the plate basket, which he placed in the herb basket,
and covered it over. The prisoner then ran straight
down the road into the Oval-road, where she lost
sight of him.
Francis Hedger, of 3, Church-crescent, Kenning-
ton, butcher, said his attention was called to the pri-
soner, who was running towards the Oval. Witness
being in his cart, soon got up with the prisoner, who,
dirt ctly he saw him, dropped the skirt of his coat,
which he had been holding, and a quantity of plate
fell on the ground. Witness, with much difficulty,
succeeded in securing the prisoner, who was also
charged with the following robbery at the house of
Mr. Allen, Lawn-place, South Lambeth:—On the
god inst. the prisoner was seen by the housemaid to
lift up the front kitchen Window, enter, and take up
two silver spoons. The girl instantly rushed upon
the prisoner, who gave her one of the spoons, thinking
she would let him go, but she held fast, and called her
master, who soon appeared, and the prisoner then
threw the other spoon at him and ran off.
The prisoner was committed for trial on both
charges.
