NORFOLK ClRCUlT.—Aylesbury, March 13.
CROWN COURT.—(Before the Lon]) CHIEF
BARON.)
George Arnold was indicted for having feloniously
shot at William Nixon. with intent to murder him.
Mr. Prendergast, Q.C., and Mr. Sanders con-
ducted the prosecution; Mr. Power appeared for the
defence.
The prisoner is married to the niece of the prose-
cutor's wife. In the course of the year 1848 the
prisoner fell into bad circumstances, and his wife
sought refuge with her aunt, whose husband is a shop-
keeper in Stoney Stratford. She and her child were
rEceived, and the prisoner remained in London ; he
was, however, dissatisfied with the arrangement, and
from time to time he sent letters to the prosecutor,
containing applications for money, and also threats.
Both were disregarded, and, on the 10th of July
last, while the prosecutor was standing in the street
in front of his house conversing with a person at
work there, the prisoner came up the street behind
him, and fired off a pistol, at the same time saying
"D— you." The prosecutor felt himself struck,
and ran into his house the backway ; the prisoner
ran into the house also, but by the front door, and

MURDER B Y A MANIAC.

The rural and secluded little village of Little Grees-
den, in Cambridgeshire (about eight miles from Cam-
bridge, on the Bedford-road) has just been the scene of
an awful tragedy, in the shape of a matricide by a ma-
❑iac. In the village resided an old man named Henry
Carrington, and his wife, and one son, named John.
The old man has been through lif.3 a labourer, but
la'ely, by reason of age and infirmity, had been de-
pendent on the parish. He had five sons, but four out
of them are maintaining themselves, and the fifth (John),
the perpetrator of the outrage, was formerly resident in
Cambridge, where he was assistant to a college shoe-
black, but returned home, on his becoming what the vil-
lagers call wonderful strange." He was in the habit in
the dull season of hawking combs, thread, B(e., through
the neighbouting villages, and working in the fields in
the summer.

The following is the account of the affair, as given by
the prisoner himself:—He said that some months ago he
had broken a piece cut of his father's spade, while dig-
ging roots in the poor allotments, and his father had
been wrath about it ever since. When he went home on
Tuesday evening, about six o'clock, he sat down to get
his tea, and his father entered with the spade and talked
" wonderful coarse" to him about breaking it. lle of-
fered his father sixpence as remuneration, but he would
not take it, and would have struck him with it if he had
not have taken it from him. On seizing the spade, he
" knocked the old man down with it, and his mother
coming in to save his father he cut her down also."
The mother was found stretched lifeless on the floor
of the cottage, and the old man in a state that precludes
all hope of his recovery.
The above statement having teen corroborated by
witnesses at the inquest held en the body of the prisoner a
mother,
The jury returned a verdict of " Wilful murder"
against John Carrington, who was conveyed to the county
gaol to await his trial.
The depositions of the injured man will be taken as
soon as his state of health will allow, so that in case of
his death it may be used at the trial of the prisoner, who
evinced no emotion ;on being made acquainted with the
verdict of the jury.

reason he gives for this arbitrary measure is, that
this journal " had for some time made a point of
sowing the seeds of disquiet by the publication of
inflammatory and malicious articles, which, by casting
suspicion upon the intentions of Ministers, were cal-
culated to neutralise the beneficial effects arising
from the so recently restored peace."

ACT.

This was a petition for the investment of a sum of
4001., being the residue of a larger fund, which formed
the purchase money of certain land bought by the
corporation of London under an Act of Parliament.
The Act provided for the payment, by the corporation,
of all reasonable expenses incurred from time to time
under the Act. On this ground the petition asked
that the costs of investing the residue should be paid
by the corporation.
Mr. Busk supported the petition ; Mr. Randall
appeared contra.
The VICH -CHANCELLOR said that the Act gave no
stint, but rendered the corporation liable for all ex-
penses which might result from their dealing with the
land of other parties. The corporation, therefore,
ought to pay the costs.

rr HE NOVELTY most recently introduced by
1_ MESSRS. NICOLL is called NICOLL'S PATENT EIDER
DOWN PALETOT, such novelty consisting in the adaptation of
Eider Down in the formation of NICOLL'S PALETOT, the original
elegance and utility of which is, however, faithfully preserved.
_

Eiders are found in great numbers in Iceland and the Fern
Islands, where their beautiful and delicate down is well known to be
proof against the most severe cold, and even the small quantity
which can be compressed and concealed between the two hands, will
serve in the formation of a Paletat, which, while it has most extra-
ordinary lightness, has, nevertheless, more warmth than the fines;
and thickest blanket, the great desideratum fora winter garment
being thus accomplished, namely, personal warmth without fatigue.

retail warcrooms,

ROLLS COURT, Jan. 18.

BARNARD GREGORY V. MARYCHURCH AND ANOTHER.
In this case the plaintiff, having had large dealings
as proprietor of a newspaper, called the Satirist, with
Messrs. Wrigley, paper-manufacturers, of Lanca-
shire, owed a balance of 7561. for paper supplied up
to the month of March, 1846. The paper-makers
pressed for payment, and, being then unable to pay
in cash, the plaintiff gave Messrs. Wrigley a judg-
ment for that amount, which was to bear interest at
five per cent. per annum. The judgment was to be
paid off by two instalments, but when the first be-
came due it was unpaid, and the attorneys, Davies
and Evans, threatening to enforce the judgment,
Gregory authorised the said attorneys to sue a
debtor, Mrs. Matters, and they recovered for his ac-
count 3001., which it was agreed to take by 150/. pre-
viously paid, and three promissory notes for 501.
each, which were suffered to remain in the said attor-
neys hands as assets to pay Messrs. Wrigley as an in-
stalment upon the judgment. The notes Evans paid,
to the credit of his firm, into the Commercial Bank of
London, and soon after the firm dissolved partner-
ship. Evans became bankrupt. Mr. Davies continued
the business until Oct. 10, 1847, when he died. In a
few days after one of the 501. promissory notes of Sarah
Matters was presented for payment and dishonoured.
The Commercial Bank had been paid since by the
plaintiff, who in consequence sought to be reimbursed,
and filed his bill against the defendant, the widow of
the solvent partner in the firm of Davies and Evans,
who had since married the Rev. Henry W. Mary-
church, who also was made a co-defendant in this
bill in Chancery. A reference was ordered to the
Master, and interrogatories were sent in by the plain-
tiff, one of which was in these terms :—" Whether
or not did the said John Evans, on the sth of July,
1847, or any other, and what other, day or time,
draw on his said separate account with the said bank
a cheque for the sum of 141. 1 ls. 63., or for some or
what sum inclusive of 141. 1 ls. 6d., in favour of said
joint account of himself and the said David Davies
with the bank ; if yea, was or was not such cheque
returned to the said John Evans, with notice on the
part of the said bank that he had not, on his said
separate account, sufficient effects to meet it ?" The
defendant excepted to this interrogatory, as a leading
interrogatory among others excepted to. The excep-
tions being allowed by the Master the plaintiff brought
the case before the court on exceptions to the Master's
report.
Mr. BEILES stated the case for the plaintiff ; Mr.
Shebbeare appeared for the defendant.
Lord LANGDALE overruled the decision of the
Master, and decided against the exceptions taken by
the defendant to the interrogatories.

IN RE JERAIY.

This was a petition for the appointment of a
guardian of the infant daughter of the late Mr. Jermy,
Recorder of Ipswich. It appeared that Mr. Jermy
had appointed as his executor his son (who fell with
his father by the assassin's hand) and another person,
who had renounced, and the question now was, upon
whom was to devolve the trust for the infant ?
Mr. Bird appeared for the petition.
The VICB-CHANCELLOR thought that the personal
trust had perished with the executors, and that there
must, therefore, be a reference to the Master.

EX PARTS THE IMPERIAL BANE COMPANY.
Mr C. HALL appeared for this petition for the
usual reference, under the Winding•up Act, to wind
up the affairs of the Imperial Bank. It appeared that
a suit in the same matter had bean instituted under
the title of " Walworth v. Holt," and a receiver had
been appointed. It was now suggested by Mr. Little
that the Master should be directed that the present
receiver should be appointed also official manager
under the Act, on the ground that it would be incon-
venient to have two receivers of the same property.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR said that the appointment
of a receiver might be a very proper thing at the
time ; but when an application was made under the
extensive authority given by the Winding-up Ace, it
was proper for the Master to judge who was a fit
person to be appointed.

BOW-STREET.

James Callaghan, Robert Horlock, William Hor-
lock (his brother) and John Jeffery, late in the ser-
vice of the combined City and Iron Steam-boat
Companies, as cheque and money takers, were placed
at the bar, before Mr. Jardine, charged with con-
spiring to defraud their employers and embezzling
money to a large amount.
Mr. Cattarns, the solicitor to the company, attended
for the prosecution, and explained the nature of the
alleged conspiracy and fraud. The men had been in
the habit, in concert with a fellow-servant named
Jackson (who had absconded), of privately handing
the tickets received at one pier back to the sta-
tion from which they were issued, and then giving
the same cheques to passengers, instead of tearing out
fresh tickets from the cheque-books. The money
arising from this fraudulent double sale of the
old tickets had been usually divided among the men,
and the company were wholly unable to conjecture
the amount of which they had been robbed, as the sys-
tem had been traced back two years and upwards. Sus-
picions were first directed against the prisoners by an
anonymous letter sent to the company, in a fit of
drunkenness, by one of the prisoners' wives, and ulti-
mately by the confession of one of the delinquents
(Callaghan) ; although upon the former intimation
an inquiry, which ended in the acquittal of the men,
was instituted, it was intended only to offer sufficient
evidence on the present occasion to secure the re-
mand of the prisoners for furthar examination.
Mr. E I ward Aitchinson, of Chelsea, superinten-
dent of the steam boat company, stated, that Calla-
ghan was acheque•taker at the Cadogan-pier, Chelsea ;
Jeffery was a money-taker at the Hungerford-pier ;
and the two other prisoners assisted in both capa-
cities as occasion required. Henry Jackson, the
man who had absconded, was money-taker at the
London-pier, but a box in his possession, containing
documents which implicated all the others as well a:-
himself, had been secured. On Wednesday last
Callaghan made a confession in the presence of wit-
ness and Mr. Cattarns, at the latter gentleman'&
office, to the effect that he had taken back old tickets
to Jackson and Jeffery, by whom they were re-sold
to passengers, and the produce shared amongst them.
Mr. JARDINE remanded the prisoners for a week
for further evidence, refusing to admit either of them
to bail.

GERMANY.

The Austrian Constitution for the crown land of
Carniola appears in the Weiner Zeitung of the 13th.
HAYNAU has suppressed the Magyar journal, the
Figzelmezo, heretofore published at Pesth. The
reason he gives for this arbitrary measure is, that
this journal " had for some time made a point of
sowing the seeds of disquiet by the publication of
inflammatory and malicious articles, which, by casting
suspicion upon the intentions of Ministers, were cal-
culated to neutralise the benefioial effects arising
from the so recently restored peace."
The Civil Council of Cracow having commanded
the imprisonment of several Jews for opening shops
in that city, has been reprimanded by the Govern-

EX PARTB TIIE IMPERIAL BANK COMPANY.

Mr C. HALL appeared for this petition for the
usual reference, under the Winding-up Act, to wind
up the affairs of the Imperial Bank. It appeared dat
a suit in the same matter had been instituted under
the title of " Walworth v. Holt," and a receiver had
been appointed. It was now suggested by Mr. Little
that the Master should be directed that the present
receiver should be appointed also official manager
under the Act, on the ground that it would be incon-
venient to have two receivers of the same property.
The VICE-CHAI,CELLOR said that the appointment
of a receiver might be a very proper thing at the
time ; but when an application WA% made under the
extensive authority given by the Winding-up Act, it
was proper for the Master to judge who was a fit
person to be appointed.

CRICKET.

ELEVEN CF ENGLAND V. TWENTY-TWO OF LOUTH.
From Brighton the Eleven `• steamed" up to the great
metropolis, whence they again embarked upon another
line, by means of which, on Monday morning, they were
enabled to make their appearance on the Cricket ground
at Louth, where they were greeted by some thousands
of persons, who had assembled to witness tho powers of
the " great men." Louth went to the wicket in the first
instance, and ran up a score of 107. The " Eleven,"
when " time" was called, had scersd 7, with the loss of
ore wicket, that of Clark. The match was resumed on
Tuesday morning.
THE THREE MESSRS. WALKER V. THE THREE
C/ESARS.—This grand contest was fougt t upon the
ground of Mr. Marshall, Broadwater, Godalming, and
proved one of the finest single wicket exhibitions that
has been witnessed for many a long year. Mr. John
Walker headed his side in runs, as did Julius
that of the Caasars. When " time" was called Mr.
Walker had one run to get to tie, and two to win. In
this state of the game the match was drawn.

THE COMMERCE OF LIBERIA.

To the commercial men of our country, Liberia
prt sents herself as a theatre of extensive and lucrative
business operations. Palm oil is produced by the nut
of the palm-true,,which grows in the greatest abun,,
dance throughout Western Africa. The demand for
it, both in Europe and America, is daily increasing,
and there is no doubt it will, ere long, become the
most important article of trade. Camwood, red
wood, bar wood, and other dye woods are found in
great quantities in many parts of the country.
About thirty miles east of Bassa Cove is the com-
mencement of a region, of unknown extent, where
scarcely any tree is seen except the Cam wood. This
boundless forest of wealth, as yet untouched, is easily
accessible to that settlement ; roads can be opened to
it with little expense, and the neighbouring Kings
will readily give their co-operation to a measure
so vastly beneficial to themselves. One Liverpool
house imported 600 tons in a single year, worth about
50,000 dollars. Ivory is procurable at all points, and
constitutes an important staple of commerce. It is
supposed that from 150,000 to 200,000 dollarec'worth

ITALY.

The Marquis of BALESTRINO, Secretary to the Sar-
dinian Legation at Naples, arrived at Leghorn on the
16th, on board the Castor steamer, on his way to
Turin. The object of his mission is said to relate to
the refusal of the Neapolitan Government to admit
Sardinian subjects within its territory.
The Armonia, a Turin journal, belonging to the
clerical party, states, in its number of the 18th, that
the instructions given to Chev. PINELLI were, that he
should apply at Itome for the removal of Monsignor
FRANZONI from the See of Turin, and not treat of
other matters, until he had gained that point. The
case against Monsignor FRANZONI will, it is said, be
ready for trial by the end of this month. Cardinal
FALCONIERI, Archbishop
of Ravenna, has issued a
manifesto inviting tie faithful to a triduo (a reli-
gious service, lasting three days) which is to commence
on the 23d, in order to pray for Divine protection in i
favour of Monsignor Faariaom.
The town of Brescia has sent an address of thanks
to the Piedmontese papers, thanking the inhabitants
of the sister kingdom for their generous assistance on
the occasion of the late destructive inundation.
A letter from Bologna of the 16th announces that,
in consequence of an order from Rome, the Lom-
bardo-Venetian journals, and the Corriere Italiano
of Vienna, are no longer permitted to enter the Papal
territory.

THB GREAT • CENTPAL GA3 COMPANY.—The ap-
plication of the Chartered Gas Company to the Lord Chan-
cellor for an injunction to restrain the Great Central Gas
Consumers' Company from laying their mains and pipes in
contact with the plaintiffs' came en yesterday, at his Lord-
ship's private residence, Vaton-square. Mr. Walpole, on be-
half of the defendants, asked for an extension of time, to
enable in to put in answers to all the affidavits, some of
which, he stated had only been filed that morning. The
Attorney-General, who appeared for the plaintiffs, offered nu
objection, and the matter therefore stands over till the 10th
of October, the defendants undertaking in the meantime not
to lay any pipes or mains in contact with those of the plain-
tiff nor to execute any other works to their damage. The At-
torney-General then asked his Lordship that the motion
should be heard upon the same footing as it would Lave
been had the arguments been gone into on the first occasion,
and notwithstanding anv works which might be executed
by the defendants in the-interim. This having been agreed
to, the parties retired.
MINING IN NORTR WALEs.—Mining in North
Wales has received a decided impetus from the late dis-
