• The Hon. E. If: STANLEY, M.l'., in the Chair.
Tickets may be obtained of the Stewards, at the London Tavern,
and at the Offices of the Institution.
Dinner on Table at Six o'clock precisely.
- The Committee most respectfully and earnestly solicit the bencvo•
lent attention of the public towards the support of this Institution,
which has for its object the relief of misery and distress at a period
when the applicants are too frequently bereft of a'l other aid, when,
with debilitated health and rulned fortunes, they can look forward
only to the parish workhouse as their last shelter, and from the de-
gradation of which the charity seeks to rescue them.
Contributions gratefully received at the Bank of England to the ac-
count of James Bidden, Esq., and others; at Messrs. Robarts, Curtis,
and Co.'s, 15, Lombard-street ; at Messrs. Sir John William Lub-
bock, Bart., Foster, and Co.'s, Mansion House-street ; at the Office
of the Record; and at the Offices of the Society, where lists of the
subscribers, forms of application, and every information respecting,
the charity, may be obtained between the hours of Ten and Five

COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS' SCHOOLS,
for ORPHAN and NECESSITOUS CHILDREN.
PATRON—MS Royal Highness the Duke of CAMBRIDGE, &c.
PRESIDENT—JOIIN MASTERMA N, Esq., M.P.
The object of this institution is to maintain, clothe, and educate the
orphan and necessitous children of Commercial Travellers. There
are 86 children (from all parts of the kingdom) in the institution al-
ready, and the applications for admittance arc so numerous, that it is
found absolutely necessary to provide larger and more commodious
premises than those at present rented by the society. It is estimated
that the sum of 12.0001. will enable the Board to purchase and fit
up premises sufficiently extensive to accommodate 300 eb"dren.
As this is a national and not a local charity, it is intended that an
opportunity for subscribing towards the required amount shall be
given to the various commercial firms throughout the country. To
this end deputations from the Board of Management in London win.
proceed to the principal commercial cities and towns of the united
kingdom, Brisfa`tras just been ~vlslttlE- On--Ittc 41* Febt nary

Those 'who are labouring under long-protracted stricture, with all
its accompanying miseries, will hid detailed in this work modes of
treatment adapted to such cases, the efficacy and superiority of
which have been tested by repeated practice; whilst those who
are suffering under the less severs forms of the disease may find
the means of prompt relief, and at the same time such information
as will protect them from becoming the victims of unskiltnl and
v,olent treatment—the main-spring of severe and complicated ob•
structions of the urinary canal. " The operation of introducing a
catheter through as impermeable stricture is, without doubt, the
most difficult in the whole range of surgical operations, and de-
plaints all the prudence, science, and skill of a masts•. The art
can only be acquired. and that gradually, by frequent practice."—

STANFIELD lIALL AND POTASII FARM. The
claimant (Lamer) of this property, with the lands at-
tached, whom, it will be recollected, Rush endeavoured
to entrap for the murders of Messrs. Jermy, has taken
proceedings for the posses ion of the estates. The case
will be argued in one of the courts of law. Stanfield
Hall and Potash continue tenantless, presenting a
wretched and desolate appearance. Several labourers
have been offered sums of money to live in them, with
their families, rent free, but in every instance their offers
were refused. The solicitors, under the fiat of Rush's
bankruptcy, have now possession of the blunderbuss de-
livered over to them by the high sheriff of the county.
It is said it is to be sold for the benefit of the creditors.
EmiGRATIoN.—In two days of the last weeks up-

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
HOME CIRCUIT, Hertford, March 1.
CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice MAULS.)
William Watson, 43, was indicted for forging and
uttering a bill of exchange for 811., with intent to defraud
William Streater.
Mr. T. Chambers prosecuted; Mr. Parnell defended
the prisoner.
The prosecutor, it appeared, is a farmer at Bushey,
and on the Bth of May, last year, being. at Watfini
market, the prisoner introduced himself to him, and
wished to know if he had any hay to dispose of. The
prosecutor took him to his farm, and showed him a
stack containing about twenty loads, which he agresd to
sell to the prisoner at 41. per load, and it was arranged
that the hay should be sent to the prisoner in London,
and that each load should be paid for on delivery. A
portion of the hay was sent, but no money was forth-
coming, and on a subsequent occasion the prisoner '
handed to the prosecutor a bill of exchange for 811,
drawn by himself upon a person named John Scott, re-
siding at Perceval-street, Goswell-street, and which
purported to bear his acceptance. The pros( -
cutor at 6rst_. demurred to taking the bill, stating

that he did not understand such matters,
but upon the prisoner assuring him that it was a good
bill, and that he could get it discounted at his banker's,
he consented to receive it, and upon the faith of its
being a genuine instrument he supplied the prisoner
with ten loads of hay, and also let him have a pony and
chaise, valued at 221. When the bill arrived at matu-
rity, however, and it was presented for payment at the
address in Perceval-street, it turned out that no such
person as John Scott was known there; and, from fur-
ther inquiries that were made upon the subject, it was
ascertained that, immediately the prisoner obtained pos-
session of the hay, a person with whom he was asso-
ciated, and who has since absconded, disposed of it to
different stable-keepers at a much lower price than the
sum that was originally agreed to be given for it.
Mr. PARNELL, at the close of the case for the prosecu-
tion, submitted that the circumstances as detailed in the
evidence would not support the charge of forgery, and
he contended that there was not sufficient evidence to
establish beyond all doubt that the John Scott who was
represented to be the acceptor of the bill was a non-ex-
isting person.
Mr. CHAMBERS said it was impossible for him, on the
part of the prosecution, to call all the John Scotts in
London, to say that they were not the parties mentioned
in the instrument. He had shown that there was no
John Scott at the houSe in Perceval-street, and if such a
person really were in existence, the prisoner could easily
produce him as a witness.
Mr. Justice MAULE said the case must go to the jury.
. .

Mr. PARNELL accordingly addressed them on behalf of
the prisoner, contending that there was nothing in the
ease to bhow that he hal not received the bill as a genuine
instrument, and that he had handed it as such to the
prosecutor.

Mr. Justice MAULE summed up, and the jury having
returned a verdict of Guilty, the prisoner was sentenced
to be transported for 10 years.

CIVIL SIDE.

Lord Chief Justice—Wilde opened this Court at half-
past twelve o'clock. There were originally eleven causes
entered, two of which were withdrawn, and of the re-
maining nine, five were undefended. There was not one
special jury cause on the list. His Lordship disposed of
the undefended causes, but nothing of interest transpired
during the day.

OXFORD CIRCUIT, Abingdon, Feb. 28.
CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron PLATT.)
Henry Burrows, aged 28, a letter-carrier, was indicted
for having, on the 13th October last, feloniously stolen
from a post letter a half-crown and a shilling.
Mr. Whateley, Q.C., Mr. Alexander, Q.C., and Mr.
Bros appeared for the prosecution; Mr. Carrington for
the prisoner.

This case excited great local interest, as the prisoner
was the son of a man who had been for 35 years town
postman here, and had secured, by his good conduct, the
respect of all his fellow-townsmen. The son had been
appointed, about a twelvemonth back, country postman,
and conducted himself, until very recently, with pro-
priety. It appeared that early in October a young girl,
who was in service at Walworth, posted a letter addressed
to her mother, who lived at Clifton, in this neighbour-
hood, and containing a half-crown and a shilling, and
some small books for her little brothers. This letter
was received by the prisoner, in order to deliver it. He
opened it, and took out the books and money, and then
concealed it with many ethers in a drain near the town.
The girl receiving no answer, wrote two more letters, and
these also were intercepted by the prisoner and concealed
in the same place. Immediately afterwards a flood
swept all these letters out of the drain, and they were
picked up by a little boy who happened to be passing.
The discovery of them of course created a great sensa-
tion in the town, and a gentleman having met the pri-
soner and told him that a number of intercepted post
letter,pad been discovered, he wont to the police sta-
tion tic once and surrendered himself, saying that he was
guilty of having abstracted money out of letters and
concealed them. The policeman asked him to go to the
postmaster, but he refused, saying that he did not wish
to go, and that it was unnecessary, as he confessed that
he had taken and opened many letters, and that he bad
even several then in the lining of his hat. On examin-
ing his hat the policeman found eight letters between the
lining and the hat; 20 were found in the drain, and nine
in another place. Altogether 35 were distinctly traced
to him.

On his behalf witnesses were callod who spoke to his
former good character, and stated when the cholera raged
here last autumn he had a very severe attack of it; and
that since then his eyes appeared wild, his manner and
conversation were much altered, and he had many other
symptoms of insanity.

Ifaving been found Guilty,
His LORDSHIP, in a very feeling address, sentenced
him to be transported for ton years.

NORTHERN CIRCUIT.— Newcastle-upon-Tyne,
Feb. 28.
This day their Lordships disposed of the county of
Northumberland business only.
The calendar contains only twelve prisoners, which,
with the exception of two or three cases, are ordinary
charges of larceny.
On the Civil Side there are only thirteen causes en-
tered, ten being county case., and three being for the
town and county of Newcastle. Of the thirteen one only
is a special jury.
CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron ROLFE.)
POST-OFFICE ROBBERY.—Richard Short was indicted
for having, at Berwick-upon-Tweed, on the 23d of Oc-
tober last, stolen two letters, the property of the Post-
master-General. TLere were also other counts, charging
him with embezzlement, &c.
Mr. Otter and Mr. Pickering conducted the prosecu-
tion; Mr. James defended the prisoner.
It appeared that the prisoner, who is a married man
with three children, had been for about six years a
clerk in the Post-office at Berwick-upon-Tweed, at
a salary of 501. a-year. In the month of October
last, Mr. John Ramsay, the Inspector-General of the
Post-office, went down to Alnwick, for the purpose
of discovering frauds supposed to be committed
at Berwick, and to carry out his' intention he posted
at Alnwick, on the 23d of that month, two letters—one
addressed to " Miss Rennie, Mrs. Burns, Granton-road,
Edinburgh," in which he inclosed a florin and nine post-
age-stamps, all of which were marked; the other letter
was addressed Mr. Donaldson, baker, Cupar, Fife, in
which was enclosed a sovereign and nine postage-stamps,
which were likewise marked. The first letter was
dropped into the box, two heads baying been put upon
it; the other was put into the hands of the postmaster
at Alnwick, and the postage paid. It was the prisoner's
duty to attend with two other clerks in the letter office,
and sort the letters, sending those forward which were
addressed for the north. The letters in question not
having been forwarded as they ought to have been, the
next morning the Inspector-General proceeded to Ber-
wick, and having obtained a search warrant, went with
the inspector of police to the letter office, and having
told the two clerks and the prisoner what had happened,
said that they must be searched. The two clerks
assented directly, but the prisoner hung back; upon
which the inspector desired him to empty his pockets,
and on his doing so the greater portion of the articles
which had been inclosed in the letters were discovered.

Mr. JAMES, for the prisoner, then objected that the
letter was not a letter within the meaning of the Post-
office Act, as it was not a letter put by the public, but
one mainly for the purpose of detecting fraud.
His LORDSHIP having said there had been an express
decision on that point, and that it was not a valid ob-
jection,
Mr. JAMES then objected that the venue was wrongly
laid, inasmuch as the crime was alleged to have taken
place at Berwick-upon-Tweed, and the venue was laid in
the county of Northumberland; and although the crime
might be tried in any county where the letters passed,
or in that where the prisoner was taken into custody,
yet it was not allowable to allege the crime to have
been committed in one county, and to lay the venue in
another.
His LORDSHIP, after a little consideration, said he
would give his judgment on the point in the morning;
and Mr. James having stated that he was unable to con-
tend against the facts proved,
Th• jury returned a verdict of Guilty.
His LORMILIP deferred passing sentence.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
Jonas Lazarus was brought up for final examination,
charged with having been found in the synagogue in St.
Helen's for the purpose of committing a robbery. He
was also suspected of having been concerned in robbing
the Great Synagogue in Duke's-place, and the syna-
gogue in the west end of the town.
Alderman GIBBS sentenced him to imprisonment for
three months, for the offence proved.
GUILDHALL.
THE LATE CASE OF CRUELTY IN BEATING A CHILD.
—Yesterday Mr. Edward Kesealy, barrister, of No. 4,
South-square, Gray's inn, appeared before Mr, Alder-
man Salomons, to hear the depositions read, previous to
his being committed to the Middlesex Sessions, to take
his trial for cruelly beating a child, only six years of
age, who went under the name of Edward Hyde. The
facts of the case have frequently appeared before the
public. After a further examination, in the course of

I
which Mr. Kenealy obtained an acknowledgment from
the principal witness that his treatment of the child,
previously to the transaction complained of, was kind,
he was committed to the Middlesex Sessions, bail being
taken; the defendant himself to the amount of 1004 and
two sureties, .50/. each.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
A very well-dressed middle-aged woman applied for
aasktance to punish her suitor for breach of promise 01
marriage. On Ash• Wednesday last she was to be mar-
ried to him; and, on the day before, .she had arranged
to meet her intended at the church, St. George's, Han-
over-.quire, for the purpose of going through the proper
ceremony. Owing to some mistake as to the time, the
clergyman could not marry them on that day, and they
were obliged to postpone the ceremony to the following
Sunday. Her intended went down to Reading, where ho
lived, and on Saturday last ho was married to another
woman. The applicant produce] the licence which she
had received from her faithless admirer, which was in the
names of James Wickens and Elizabeth Draper, widow,
end wished to know whether she could not have some
redress for the injury she had sustained?
The Chief Clerk, Mr. Leadloy, said, if she estimated
the damage she had sustained at less than 201., she
might proceed against the man in the County Court; if,
at a higher sum, she must consult an attorney—but the
case was one which did not come within the jurisdiction
of t bat court.
The disconsolate widow thanked the Chief Clerk, and
loft the court.

CLERKEN WELL.
Yesterday, Charles Lear', Charles Collins, Timothy
Reading, and Patrick Brown, athletic Irish labourers,
were placed at the bar before Mr. Tyrwhitt, charred by
Mr. Philip Newbury England, appraiser, of No. 36,
Polygon, Somers-town, with having been concerned in
the following daring outrage and assault.
The prosecutor said, that on Thursday afternoon ho
was sent for by Mr. Joseph Bond, of Draper's-place, St.
Pancras, with a request that he would immediately
attend there as a strong party of armed men had assem-
bled on that spot, with a determination to take forcible
possession of a house. He instantly proceeded thither
and found upwards of 200 Irish labourers and navvies,
armed with various implements, making preparations to
break into the house. He addressej and cautioned them
as to the imprudence and illegality of their conduct,
when the prisoners, who were the ringleaders of the
party, said they had been offered M. to take possession,
and they were determined to enter the house by violent
means, on which Collings, Reading, Leary, seized him,
while the prisoner Brown lifted up a heavy crowbar, and
aimed a deadly blow at his head, but, fortunately, be
(witness) escaped the intended mischief, by seizing hold
of the instrument, and with assistance, and after a des-
perate struggle he was extricated from the prisoners and
his life saved. On cautioning the parties, the whole of
them left, but the prisoners, who, on the arrival of the
police, were taken into custody and locked up.
Mr. Thompson, a solicitor, for the defence, asked the
witness whether he was not aware that Miss Mary Wil-
son claimed possession of the house ? Witness—No ; I
only know that the house belongs to Miss Bond, and that
it was lc fc to her by her uncle.
Mr. Thompson could only say that Miss Wilson claimed
a right to the house, and a man took illegal possession
by getting through a skylight at the top of the house,
and it was according to his (Mr. Thompson's) in-
structions that the prisoners had gone to take forcible
possession.

Mr. TYRWHITT expressed his surprise that any pro-
fessional man should have adopted such a course of
proceeding.
Mr. Thompson—l have acted under the opinion of
counsel.

Mr. TYRWHITT said he cared not about the opinion of
cousel unless he was guided by a case.
Mr. Thompson then referred to a case, which be partly
read.

Mr. TYRwUITT said the meaning of the case and the
law were quite the reverse of the gm of and the
extraordinary mode` of conduct pursued by Mr.
Thompson. He shoulcldbrder the prisoners to put in
their own recogniiance to keep the peace, and they
ought to be thankful to the prosecutor for his kind-
ness in not pressing for punishment, or the heaviest
penalty of the law would have been inflicted upon them.
The prisoners were then severely reprimanded and
cautioned, and after putting in their recognizances they
were liberated.
