THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER, 11, 1844

Mr. RURRELL asked the prisoners what answers th?y
had to the charge?
The men admitted having got over the fence, as de-
scribed, but declared they did not know how the fire
originated.
Mr. Barefoot said that it was the practice of a number
of idle persons to congregate under the foot of the bridge.
Great pains had been taken to prevent this, as the main
pipes of the Chelsea Water-works were laid across the
bridge, between the woodwork and the Macadamised
road, and in the event of the bridge being consumed, all
supply of water to the western part of the metropolis
would be cut off, and in the event of fire at any of the
houses, the damage would be incalculable.
Mr. Barlow, the lock-keeper, said that had the fire
taken place at night instead of the day, there was no
doubt the bridge would have been consumed. Boards
bad been placed at the foot of the bridge, cautioning
persons against trespassing upon the towing-path, and
offering rewards for the apprehension of any found there.
Mr. BURRULL considered it fortunate that an early
discovery of the fire had been made ; but said, as thei e
was no evidence to prove how it had originated, or
whether it was owing to the conduct of the accused, he
must discharge them.

nails were still lying at the Whittington and Cat, Hol-
loway, and so ill that they could not be removed ;
neither was the other sufferer, Rebecca Mead, able to
attend.

Thomas Ratcliffe, a gardener, residing at Highgate,
deposed that about nine o'clock on the evening of Sun-
day, the Ist instant, he saw the, prisoner in a four-
wheeled vehicle at the top of Holloway-hill. The pri-
soner seemed to be endeavouring to check the horse,
which was proceeding at the very top of its speed ; he
did not succeed, and about 200 yards further on witness
heard a crash, and screams and groans. On reaching
the place he saw the two Bignalls lying in the kennel ;
the woman was bleeding and insensible ; John Bignall
was hardly able to speak. In the middle of the road he
saw Rogers lying with hiss face towards the road. Wit-
ness raised him up and asked him what was the matter
with him ; he did not say a word, but shook his head,
and witness saw that he was in a dying state. Subse-
quently assisted in conveying the deceased and the other
sufferers to the Whittington and Cat.
Three other wittnesses wore examined, whose testi-
mony left no doubt that the horse ran away, and the
occurrence was accidental.

Mr. BINGHAM said, under these circumstances, he
must discharge Mr. Murphy, who left the court ac-
companied by his friends.
Mr. Murphy had scarcely left the court, when Mr.
Coulson, landlord of the Whittington and Cat, Hollo-
way, said, that the poor people who had suffered so se-
verely by the accident had been lying at his house
since then. Mr. Murphy had, in the first instance,
directed that they should be supplied with everything
they required at his (Mr. Murphy's) expense ; and, ac-
cordingly he (Mr. Coulson) at considerable cost, pro-
cured for them everything needful. Mr. Murphy now re •
fused not only to pay that bill, or any part of it, but even
some restoratives with which he had been himself sup-
plied immediately after the occurrence. But what vexed
him more than all was the unfeeling indifference dis-
played by Mr. Murphy towards the condition of these
helpless, and now almost destitute, people.
Mr. BINGHAM asked him if any one was present when
Mr. Murphy gave him these directions ? and Mr. Coul-
son having replied in the affirmative, the worthy Ma-
gistrate told him the debt might be recovered by a civil
bill process.
Mr. Coulson who has shown the greatest humanity
and kindness to. these poor people, thanked his Worship,
and withdrew.

O'CONNELL'S LIBERATION.
REJOICINGS IN LIVERPOOL.

The news of the decision of the law Lords on the
writ of error, reversing the judgment of the Court of
Queen's Bench, in Ireland, diffused the most lively
joy amongst the repealers of Liverpool. The follow-
ing particulars have been furnished by a Corre-
spondent who was a witness of the proceedings by
which the satisfaction of our Hibernian friends was
manifested :—" On Thursday and Friday evenings a
number of streets in the north and south ends, as
well as the centre of the town, were illuminated,
many of the windows literally blazing with candles.
On Thursday evening several large fires were lighted.
This was made known to the repeal staff, who very
properly appointed a deputation to proceed to the
various localities for the purpose of advising the im-
mense numbers congregated to put out the fires, lest
they should give any annoyance to the local authorities,
or be productive of ill• consequences. One gentleman
addressed the different assemblages effectively, and
told them not to gully the triumph which their beloved
leader, after unjust suffering, had achieved over parti-
san judges, packed juries, and a Tory administration,
by giving ground for even the shadow of a complaint
against them. Everywhere the deputation was warmly
greeted, and in all cases the speaker's advice was
promptly acted upon, the fires being instantly
quenched ; the people declaring that they meant not to
offend, but to testify their joy at what had taken place.
They expressed their determination, however, to
satisfy themselves by merely exhibiting lights in their
windows, and said they would even suppres, the
cheering sound of the bagpipes and violin, which
were previously heard at every corner. On Friday
evening the illumination was even more general than
on the previous one, but no fires were lighted, so
obedient have the children of Erin become to those
whom they believe to be acting for their good. Indeed,
the conduct of those who take an interest in repeal
here was truly meritorious in thus, by counsel and
example, preventing the possibility of anger or colli-
sion.—Liverpool Albion.

CORONEIre INQUEST.
On Tuesday Mr. Wakley resumed the inquiry into tne
death of Captain Dixon, of the 88th Regiment of Foot.
The Coroner, on taking his seat, inquired if any of
the relatives of the deceased gentleman were in at.
tendance ?

Pummell, the summoning officer, said that Colonel
Dixon, a brother of the deceased, had been expected
from I3sth to attend the inquest, but he had not yet
arrived.

The following evidence was then gone into ;
Anhe 13owdler deposed that she was a servant-of-all-
work at that house, and had known the deceased about
three weeks, during which time he had lodged there.
On the afternoon of Thursday last, about twenty mi-
nutes after one o'clock, she found the deceased dead in
his bed-room. On that day she went up to the deceased's
room in the earlier part of the morning, to know if he
would have his breakfast. Deceased said he wanted
some more sleep, and would rine- for his breakfast when
he was ready for it. Witness asked the deceased how he
was, when he said he was much better, but, having been
up very late on the previous night, required more sleep.
Deceased had been confined to his bed for a week on the
previous Tuesday, and had been attended by a physician
from town, and Mr. Gaskell, a surgeon, at Chelsea, for
a pain in his limbs. When witness went up the second
time to the deceased's bed-room, she knocked at the door
several times without receiving any answer, and, on
trying the door, found it locked on the inside. She
then went down and told her mistress, who said the
deceased had never before locked his door, and asked
Mr. Rolleston, her husband, to go up and see if any-
thing was the matter. He did so, accompanied by wit
ness, and having knocked at the door without receiving
any answer, he burst the door open. Witness and Mr.
Rolleston then both entered, and found the deceased
lying on the floor in a pool of blood, with his head to-
wards the door. Witness immediately ran down stairs
into the street and raised an alarm, when Mr. Guazza-
roni, the .district surgeon of the Kensington Union,
who happened to be in the street at the time, was fetched
in, and saw the body. About ten minutes after witness
had been to deceased's room she heard a loud noise, as if
of the smashing of a looking-glass, and told her mistress
of it, who said it was very likely that the captain had let
the glass fall, as his hands were so weak that he could not
hold anything he took hold of, and about twenty minutes
after eleven o'clock she heard a similar noise, but much
louder. On the Sunday before the deceased's death he
told her he should never get off his bed again, and that
he was sure he should never get over it. He was obliged
to be helped off the bed, as he could not walk. De
ceased had twice refused to take sustenance, but she had
never noticed anything odd in his behaviour or in what
he said. Deceased told witness he had known Mrs.
Rolleston eight years, and that she was the only friend
he had.

Mr. Arthur Robert Rolleston deposed, that he was the
landlord of that tavern. He had known deceased about
two years, and he had been a lodger at witness's house
since last Chri-tmas twelvemonth. The witness then
confirmed the statement of the first witness as to the
breaking the door open and finding the body. Had Ire-
quentty heard the deceased lament what a state he was
reduced to, and say he had better be dead than go on so.
Deceased was very weak in his knees and could not go
up stairs without assistance. During the fortnight pre-
vious to his death he had been worse, and had kept his
bed during the last ten days. Mr. Gaskell first attended
deceased, arid Dr. Macleod was also called in. Did not
know that the deceased had pistols in his room until after
his death. The deceased was very eccentric at times,
and a very little thing would throw him into a violent
passion ;*but ho had not been so bad of late. Deceased
was a perfectly sober man.
On
Police-sergeant Hogan, T 25, deposed to being called

into heo F the deceased on the fluor dead. A

sbyther vd? of him, as if he had slipped off
itnessfound the white handled razor
produced, which was stained with blood, and also the
pistol produced, which had a cap en. Witness saw no
powder or ball in the room.
Mr. Rolleston recalled—Had since found some powder
and caps, hut no balls or shot. On the previous day the
4.eeased was down in the bar-parlour with witness and
until two delook on Thursday morning. He was

have been dead some time, as the body was quite
but that might be attributed to the quantity of blood lost.
The next day he examined the body by direction .of the
Coroner, and found an extensive wound, commencing on
the left side under the lower jaw, separating the integu-
ments of the neck with the carotid artery and jugular
vein on the rightside of the neck, and both of which were
divided completelj. There was likewise a mark or burn
on the left temple, about the size of a sixpence, appa-
rently from the inuzle of a pistol, or the flash of a cap
might have caused it. Witness examined the part, but
found no wound, neither were there any marks of vio-
lence visible. Witness had no doubt deceased died by
his own act.

A gently man, whose name did not transpire, but who
said he was a brother officer of the deceased, stated that
he had been for the last 14 years on terms of the greatest
intimacy and friendship with the deceased. Ile was of
eccentric habits, but was a man of a strong milt(' until he
was afflicted, when he became dejected. Deceased was
subjeet to paralysis of the brain, which affected his
eyes. DeceaSed used to call it his severe affliction.
Last saw the deceased about a month ago in the Strand,
when he recommended him to go into the cocntry, and
offered to go with him, and the deceased told him he
would let him know, but he never did. It was deceased's
impression that he should die blind, and that affected his
mind more than disease._

The Coroner then addressed the jury, and said there
could be no doubt, after the evidence that had been ad-
duced, that the deceased had died by his own act, and
an end had thereby been put to the many extraordinary
and ridiculous rumours which had been in circulation
relative to this case. If the evidence was conclusive to
the minds of the jury that the deceased was of sane
mind at the time he committed the act, they would, in
accordance with their oath, return a verdict of self-
murder ; or, if they considered the evidence showed that
he was deranged, they would return a verdict accordingly ;
but if, upon the other hand, they felt that the evidence
was inconclusive as to the state of deceased's mind, they
would express so in their verdict.
The jury, after some consultation, returned a verdict,
" That the deceased died by his own act ; but as to the
state of his mind at the time there was not sufficient
evidence before theta to show it."

IDESTRUCTION DY LIGHTNING OF GULSTON FARM,
NEAR SANDWICH, KENT.—On Sunday night last, during
the dreadful storm which visited the eastern division of
the county of Kent, a most extensive pile of buildings
known as Gulston Farm, at the village of Ash, four
miles from Sandwich and nine from Canterbury, was set
on fire by the lightning, and the whole of the produce,
agricultural implements, and a quantity of live st,ck,
consumed. The whole was the property of Mr. Cole-
man, farmer, and was the yield a 100 acres. About a
quarter before ten o'clock a crash, preceded by light-
ning of the most vivid description, during which the
heavens appeared to open and pour forth liquid fire,
burst over the barns. In an instant the flames issued
from every portion of the building, and burned with a
fury seldom witnessed, until the whole line, covering up-
wards of a quarter of an acre of ground, was in a blaze
from the top to the bottom. The
parish engine from
Sandwich was sent for, as were also those from Canter-
bury; but the fire by the time of their arrival had ob-
tained so firm a hold, that it was with great difficulty
the firemen could approach sufficiently near to play
upon the burning mass. However, by their un-
daunted exertions the fire was prevented from ex-
tending to the•farm-house and the stabling behind it,
The supply of water from a neighbouring pond was plen-
tiful, but it mis found impossible to save the building or
stock stored therein. In !ess than one hour and a half
the whole of the farm, exclusive of the prises above
described, were consumed ; fifteen pigs of the best breed
were burned to death, as were also one ball, one bullock,
and a cow. It is a fortunate circumstance that no lives
were lost. Ddring the whole time the storm raged fear-
fully ; and much praise is due to the firemen for the in-
trepidity they displayed in facing the war of the ele-
ments and the violence of the fire. The police acted
most creditably in assisting those who were disposed to
work the engines, and it is only justice to say that as
many as were required voluntarily came forward to do
so. We are glad to state that Mr. Coleman is insured
for the contents in the Sun Eire-office, and the building
in the Norwich Union. I •

Sectere-e-The market for West India Sugar has pre,
sented a healthy appearance since last Tuesday.
To-day there was an increased disposition manifested
on the part of the trade to purchase West India
Sugar the distend was Uri& for the scale
and pan the rates paid were Gd per cwt above
those previously quoted for yellow and strong
grey sorts. All other kinds fully sustained the previous
currency. Of good and fine yellow sorts the supply at
market was insufficient for the wants of ths grocers.
The total purchases amounted to the large quantity of
lsoo iiheia and arcs, including a public sale of 150 hhds
of Barbadoes, which went with more spirit, at prices rather
above those of the last auction; fine yellow fetehed ilies to
649, good 60s to 625, gogd piddling 6i)s to 59s 6d, mid
dling 57 s to. Ses ed, and low 565 to 56s 6d per cwt. The
principal part consisted of low and middling sorts. The
market has an improving appearance for nearly every
description of Colonial Sugar,
REettegee=There has been a brisk demand for
Refined goods from the home trade, and prices are ad-
vancing. The market has been nearly cleared of all
descriptions, being still cheap ; brown lumps have been
selling at 73s to 133 6d, standard lumps 74s to 74s 6d,
Tittlers 73s to 78s, fine 79s to 83s, Hanibureh Loaves
74s to 82s, double ditto 83s to 90s, and wet lumps 71s to
73s per cwt, To-day Refined Goods were in request by
the home trade, and prices are firm at 74s 6d for
standard, and 73s per cwt for brown Lumps ; the
market has still an improving appearance. Pieces of
good and fine quality are much wanted at Os to 70s per
cwt. Bastards are in increased request at 42s to 57s per
cwt. For Treacle prices are still going up, boiled from
West India Molasses selling at 183 6d to 19s tid, and
other sorts at 20s to 265. The market has a firm ap-
pearance for crushed Sugar manufactured under bond,
and at 27s Gd per cwt a good deal is doing for forward
delivery.
MAURITIUS.-There has been a good demand for all
descriptions, and the rates paid show an advance on
those of this day week of ad per cwt; the supply has
been larger of the better qualities. This afternoon there
was no public sale, but by private contract some parcels
were disposed of at prices rather above those of Friday's
public sale for yelloW kinds.
EAST INDIA.-Former rates are fully supported for
Bengal Sugar, and the grocers have purchased exten-
sively : yellow and the better descriptions of white,
however, are most in request ; 4,197 bags at auction
were all sold, fine white at 64s to 665, good 62s
to 635, middling to good middling 60s to 618 6d,
low 59s to 59s 6d, common yellow 53s to 545,
mid 55s 6d to 565, good 57s to 59s Gd, mid grey 57s to
675 6d; damp, and washed fetched 56s 6d to 60s,
and yellow ditto Ms 6d to 57s per cwt. Dobah sorts
much wanted, but of such the supply is scanty. This
afternoon Bengal Sugar was much inquired for, and the
parcels disposed of privately were at stiffer rates for
white and strong yellow sorts. None was offered at
public sale.
FOREIGN.-There has been no public sale of any
description, but several parcels are declared. Since
Tuesday last, the market has been in a quiet state for
yellow naval-mall, and only small parcels have been dis-
posed of ; holders, however, remain firm, and have ob-
tained fully former rates. White has sustained the pre-
vious currency, yet the demand has been limited ; large
orders for both sorts are shortly expected. Brazil has
been in good request, but holders have been unable to
obtain any advance in prices. To-day there was more
inquiry for all sorts of-Foreign sugar, and full rates were
offered, but at present not much business has been done
The Dutch Company's public sale of Java Sugar went
off with animation at prices two florins above those of the
last auction.
MOLASESS.-The demand has been limited for West
India, but holders are not inclined to press sales at
existing low rates, although the stock is a large one;
prices vary from 20s to 24s per cwt. For East India
there is yet settieely any demand, and parcels could only
be disposed of but at very low rates.
COFFEE.-The market has been better supplied with
West India Coffee ; superior descriptions of Jamaica
have been' n good demand at full rates ; all other sorts,
however, met with a dull sale, and the prices accepted
show a decline on those previously quoted of 2s to 3s per
cwt: at auction 180 casks of Jamaica have been brought
forward-good and fine sorts, of which the principal part
consisted, all found purchasers-fine middling colory
fetched 120 a to 1365, good middling 98s 6d to 108 s ; the
other qualities, were, however, only partly disposed of
-middling at 82s, low middling 72s to 765, fine fine or-
dinary 63s 6d to 70s, fine ordinary 59s to 62s 6d, good
ordinary 534 to 575, low ordinary 495 to 503 ; Triage
26s 6d to 46s ; 103 barrels of Demerara were bought in
at 60s for fine fine ordinary, 50s for good ord, and 45s
per cwt for common ; the cause of the lower sorts of
West India being still so difficult of sale, and prices going
down, is to be ascribed to the large quantities of
the Ceylon Coffee that are being taken as a substitute.
This afternoon there was no public sale of any descrip-
tioes pf Coffee, Ceylon met with attention, and privately
several parcels were disposed of at firm rates, good ordi-
nary fetching 56s per cwt. In Mocha there was rather
more business done at former prices. Jamaica was more
inquired for, but holders could not obtain any advance
on late rates, There are few buyers of Foreign Coffee,
end holders in some instances are more inclined to sell.
Cocoa.--Holders of W( st India show firmness, and
simply the market sparingly ; some parcels have been
di,posed or by private treaty at very full rates ; Trinidad
Red fetching 41s to 45s lid, fine 46s to 475, and grey 40s
to 42s ; at auction 12 bags Grenada were sold at 42s per
cwt for ooluroon red, In Foreign large purchases have
been prevented in consequence of holders asking stiffer
rates, and 249 bags of Bahia at auction were taken in at
335; for fine bright red ; in the stock of all sorts of Cocoa
a considerable diminution has taken place of late.
TI4A.-The market has still a firm appearance, and
none has been offered at public sale. There has been a
good business transacted in all descriptions, and the im-
proved rates previously established are fully supported.
Uongoo, Common, for cash, has been selling at 10id to
lid, good common to Is O d ; Twankay, ordinary,
Is 2d to Is 3d ; and Vouchong, ordinary to good, ail to
10d per lb; of the latter the supply at market is not suffi-
cient for the wants of the trade rhe quantity of Tea
offering for sale is unusually small.
SedeeseeeThis afternoon Malabar Pepper was in in-
creased request, and ,f 4,131 bags at public sale were all
disposed of at rather higher rates for the better ports,
but inferior sustained the previous currency, good half
heavy fetched aid to aid, grey 3kd to 341 d, common
grey 3d to 3,id per lb, Of Jamaica Ginger 149
barrels were sold at stiffer rates, and fetched 8/ 3s to
91 for good, and 41 to 7115 s fcr low to middling; 364 ,
cases dry Malabar were mostly sold at 47s to 55e for
bold rat er wormy, 35s to 41s f small, and 46s to 50s
per cwt for sea damaged. 9 casks of Nutmegs were
all taken in, from New York at 2s 4d, and from Rotter-
dam at 2s 10d, both subject to 3s 6d per lb duty. 22 casks
of Mace, from Sydney, sold at es 3d to 4d, from the
Cape of Good Hope 2s 4d, and from New York Os 4d per lb.
RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.-There has been a
good demand fur Jamaica Ruin, and rather higher rates
have beep paid for fine qualities ; all other sorts fully
sustained the peeviou.; currency ; shippers and the
home trade are still inclined to purchase largely, but
are prevented from so doing by the small supply at
market ; the total purchases are 240 puns, 30 to 36 per
ajt over proof fair quality at 3s 8d to 3,10 d, 33 to 36
