BERKSHIRE.

Lord DENMAN delivered judgment in this case. This was
an action to quash certain orders of sessions, removed into
this Court by certiorari. This case contained some matters
of difficulty, accm ding even to the statements made on the
affidavits, and the Court was not without apprehension that
the decision now about to be pronounced might give some
countenance to the supposition that this Court would enter
into the consideration of matters which were properly matters
for final decision at the sessions, and the hearing and the ad-
judication of which this Court had already disclaimed, anti
now again distinctly declared its intention not to enter upon.
The effect of such a course might seem to imply that this Court
would be called upon to try over again the merits of cases which
ought to be finally disposed of at sessions. Of the inconve-
nience of such a course this Court had spoken during the pre-
sent term, and had declared its intention, and by that decla-
ration it deliberately proposed to abide. In deciding this
case the Court did not in the slightest degree depart from
that declaration, for here the opinion of the Court was founded
on the orders themselves. The affidavits were in no degree
relied on, except so far as they related to a matter which was
not in contest between the parties, namely, the dates of the
various transactions. There were four orders in this case.
Two orders had been quashed, and two others made in
October and November, 1843, confirmed two others made
respectively on the 14th and 22d of the previous
July. 'These confirmed orders had been made on the
22d of November, 1842, and the 24th of February, 1843.
So that two whole quarter sessions had intervened between
the making and confirmation of one, and one whole quarter
session had passed by between the making and confirmation
of the other. It was, therefore, clear that the rule of apply-
ing to the next quarter sessions had not been complied with,
and the Midsummer Session, therefore, had no jurisdiction
without some explanation of the delay. No such explana-
tion had been given; nothing had been done to remove the
objeetion arising from it by entering continuances or other-
wise. Thus the case stood on the face of the orders them-
selves. The question was to be considered as arising out of
the case, as stated in the affidavits which bore on the point
of the jurisdiction of the sessions. Both the original rates
wanted the requisite declaration of the parish officers, and
were on that account void. It was suggested,. for the pur-
pose of showing that the Midsummer Sessions had jurisdiction
in thi.s matter, that the rates had been respectively allowed
on the 2fith of March and the Ist of April, 1843, and that,
therefore, the hearing of the Midsummer Sessions was in
time. But that was not so in fact. The Court had seen the
original rates, and found on the face of them the proof that
nothing further had been done but to add the declaration of
the parish officers, which had been wanting in the first in-
stance. In either view of the matter, therefore, these rates
could not be sustained. But the validity of the latter orders
depended on the original rates, and as these were altogether
void, the orders confirming them must be useless and void.
On the whole, the Court was of opinion that all the four
orders must be erased.

THE QUEEN V. THE COMMISSIONERS Or STA.MPS.----MAN•

DAMIIS.

Mr. KELLY applied for a rule nisi for a mandamus
calling upon the Commissioners of Stamps to pay back
the sum of 1,2001. which they had received as legacy
duty from the executors of a Mr. Strachey. It ap-
peared that Mr. Strachey had by his will left the whole
of his property to his executors, who, being strangers in
blood, had to pay 1,2001. as legacy duty to the Commis-
sioners of Stamps, being at the rate of ten per cent.
The heir at law, Mrs. Taverner, afterwards brought an
action of ejectment against the executors, and recovered
a verdict, thus setting aside Mr. Strachey's will. The
probate had subsequently been revoked in the ecclesias-
tical court, and Mrs. Taverner had taken possession of
the property by agreement with the executors, who had
subsequently applied for the return of the 1,2001., or for
an allowance of it on account with, Mrs. Taverner. The
Commissioners had refused so to do, on the ground that
the executors had derived some advantage from the ar-
rangement with Mrs. Taverner, but they offered to allow
a smaller sum. The application was made under the
provisions of the Stamp Act.
Lord DENMAN—You may take your rule.
BUSINESS OF TILE COURT.

Lord DENMAN-1 may a% well state that we have sent
an announcement to the Gazette, that this Court will sit
from Monday, the 24th of June, to the Thursday fol-
lowing inclusive. This I hope will produce no incon-
venience. We shall take the Great 'Western ease first,
if it is ready; we shall then take the Crown paper,
then a selection of cases from the special paper, and
then proceed to the new trial paper.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, June 12.
(Sittings in Banco.)
FRANKLIN V. -NEATE.

This was an action tried on Monday last in the Ekchequer
Chamber, on which occasion a verdict had been returned for
the plaintiff on the first issue, with 191. 7s. 6d. damages;
and in favour of the defendant on the second issue, with
liberty to plaintiff to mention it to the Court above. A par-
son of the r.ame of Gilbert, belonging to the commercial
marine, in the month of October, 1840, pledged a chrono-
meter with the defendant Neate, a pawnbroker, resic.ing in
Duke-street,- Manchester- square, for the sum of fifteen
pounds. The chronometer remained there some months, when
the owner of it (Gilbert) sold the ticket to the plaintlff(Frank-
lin) fur the sum of five pounds, and went off to sea. Plaintiff
went to tiefendant's shop, before the expiration of twelve
months from the time of pawning the chronometer,And ten-
dering principal andinterest claimed it should be delivered up
to him. This was refused, as were several subsequent applica-
tions for the property, and ultimately the present action was
brought with the result above stated. Mr. fluinfrey now
moved fora rule to show cause why the verdict on the second
issue should not beset aside and entered as for the plaintiff.
The Court. granted the application.

BAIL COURT, June 11.
(Before Mr. Justice'WiGurmAN.)
TILE QUEEN V. BARNARD GREGORY.

Mr. PLATT applied to his Lordship for a rule to show cause
why the trial of this case should not be postponed until the
sittings after next Hilary Term. It was a criminal informa-
tion filed against the defendant by the Duke of Brunswick.
The grounds of the application, as set forth in the affidavits
in support of it were that the defendant was now in Ncwgate
gaol, in execution of a sentence of imprisonment passed upon
him at the Central Criminal Court, and which imprisonment
would not expire until November next ; that the criminal
information was filed against him by the prosecutor in Tri-
nity Term, 1843, and the trial had since been appointed to
take place on the 15th instant; that the defendant had been
for a long time suffering under a very severe illness, and was
consequently incapable of giving the necessary instructions
to his attorney to defend him ; that by the regulations of the
prison in which he was confined, the use of writing materials
was prohibited to prisoners, &c.
Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN granted a rule to show cause.
His Lordship afterwards went to Guildhall to try Nisi
Prius cases, and his place was taken by Mr. Justice Coleridge.

COURT OF COMMON FLEAS, June 11.
THE DERBY DISPUTE.
WOOD V. WEATHERBY AND ANOTHER.
Mr. Sergeant S. HEE mentioned this case to the Court this
morning, and said that it had been arranged that the rule
in this Court should be enlarged generally, but it appeared
that an issue between the real parties to the suit, the owners
of Running Rein and Orlando, was to be tried at the ensuing
sittings before one of the Barons of the Exchequer, who
would have power to order the payment of the stakes to the
successful party. The money would then be gone, and the
stakeholders, Messrs. Weatherby, might lose their costs of
appearing in this Court.
Lord Chief Justice TINDAL said, that when the Court of
Exchequer had decided the matter, there would be an end of
the case.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Baron GUILNEY).
EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY.—A well-
dressed young man, named George Reginald Whitaker, sur-
rendered to take his trial, charged with feloniously forging
and uttering a cheque for 1701., with intent to defraud Messrs.
Sir W. Call, Martin, and Co. the bankers.
Mr. Doane appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Clarkson
defended the prisoner. •
From the evidence it appeared that a young man named
Thomas Brightman, being out of employment, advertised in
one of the newspapers for a situation as porter, and in an-
swer to his advertisement he received a letter, appointing an
interview at the Peacock public-house, Islington. He
went to the place mentioned in the letter, at the time appointed,
and he there saw a young man, who wore a pair of dark
blue spectacles and a large cloak. The young man said he
wanted the witness as a light porter, and he would give him
11. per week wages at first, with an understanding that they
should he increased after the witness had been in the situa-
tion a short time. Arrangements were then entered into for
inquiries being made respecting witness's character; and,
subsequently, another interview took place between the
parties, and on that occasion the young man, whom the wit-
ness believed to be the prisoner, gave the witness a
cheque, which was signed with the name of Princeps.
The cheque was for 170/., and was drawn upon Call
and Co. The witness was directed to bring seventy
sovereigns and ten ten-pound notes, and the prisoner
said he would wait for it at the King's Arms, Leadenhall-
street. When witness presented the cheque, it was discovered
to he a forgery, and he was given into custody, but was libe-
rated uponhis explaining under what circumstances he be-
came possessed of the cheque, and, meeting the prisoner
shortly afterwards, in the street, he gave him into custody.
The defendant expressed the greatest surprise when he was
given into custody.
Mr. CLARKSON addressed the jury for the defence, and
stated that the defendant was a highly respectable young
man, having been, since 1833, in the service as an officer of
the East India Company. The defence to the present charge
was that the young man at the bar was not the person who
had had the interviews with the witness Brightman. The
man was evidently mistaken, as he (Mr. Clarkson) would be
able distinctly to show by evidence.
Several witnesses were then called to speak to the cha-
racter of Mr. Whitaker, one of whom was Mr. Maurice
Power, son of the late eminent comedian.

Mr. Whitaker's landlady, was called, and she dis-
tinctly proved that on the day in question he did not go out
until after twelve o'clock in the day. Two other witnesses
were also called, who distinctly proved this alibi, and
The Learned JUDGE stopped the case, and directed the
jury to return a verdict of acquittal, which they accordingly
did.

Mr. Baron GURNEY then addressed Mr. Whitaker, and
said, "You leave this Court, Mr. Whitaker, without the
slightest spot on your character."
Mr. Whitaker then left the Court with his friends.
John Leaver, 45, hair-dresser, was indicted for felo-
niously administering to Margaret Leaver, his wife, a
quantity of arsenic, with intent to murder her.
In other counts the offence was differently charged.
Mr. Doane prosecuted, and Mr. Wilkins defended

for some time before the occurrence in :question the
lengthremembered,
prisoner and his wife had been upon rather unfriendly
terms. On the 29th of May, the prisoner's wife was in
bed, and after the tea things were laid the son of the
prisoner saw him put something in his mother's tea-cup,
and he observed a sort of white scum on the top of the
tea. The tea was sent up to the prisoner's wife and she
tasted it, and immediately felt a burning sensation in
her throat, which induced her not to drink any more of
the tea. The tea-cup and its contents were eventually
sent to Guy's Hospital, where it was discovered that the
tea contained a small portion of arsenic. It appeared
in the course of the case, that it had been the custom in

:~

the prisoner's family to use soda in the tea, and also
that the house was infested by rats, and that arsenic had
been purchased for the purpose of destroying them.
Mr. WILKINS addressed the jury for the prisoner, and
called several witnesses, who gave him an excellent cha-.
racter for humanity and good conduct.
Mr. Baron GunNEr having summed up, the jury de-
liberated fur a short time, and then expressed a wish to
retire.

They were absent about half an hour, when they re-
turned into Court and gave a verdict of Not Guilty.
Simnel Withers, 25, and Henry Giles Atkins, 32, were
indicted for feloniously uttering a forged 5/. note, pur-
porting to be one of the Bank of England, with intent
to defraud the Governor and Company of that Cor-
poration:_

Me. O'Brien appeared for the defence. •
The charge was clearly made out, and the jury re-
turned a verdict of Guilty.
The police-constable stated that the prisoner Withers
hal been before convicted of felony.
Withers denied the truth of the statement, and de-
clared that he had never before been in custody.
• Mr. Cope, the Goverdor of Newgate, said he had no
doubt the prisoner had been in Newgate bet; Te.
Withers still declared it was not true, and Mr. Baron
Gurney postponed the sentence until further inquiry
was made.

Daniel . Wright, 21, sailor, was charged with forging and
uttering an order for 3901., wish intent t) defraud bir C.
Scott, Bart., and others.

Mr. Clarkson conducted the case for the prosecution,
awl Mr. Wilkins appeared for th-.pris,mer.
It appeared in evidence that the prisoner had gore to
the Banking-house of-Sir C. Scott, in Cavendish-square,
and presented a cheque for 390/., which appeared to be
drawn by a gentleman named Pulsford, upon the Batik
of England. The cheque was mad- payable to Mr. G.
Redmlyne, the silk mercer, in Bond-street, and as he
kept an account at the prosecutors' bank, no suspicion
was entertained, arid, the money was paid
over to the prisoner, who presented the cheque.
Upon the document being transmitci to the
Bank of England it was at once discovered to be a
forgery. The prisoner was* shortly afterwards appre-
hended at the Victoria Hotel, near the Lorelon and
Birmingham ilailway station, in company with a female,
and on his being taken into custody he admitted the
offence, and said it was a bad job, but he must take the
consequences. On his heing searched a quantity of
jewellery, and 701. in gold were found in his possession,
and also another forged cheque, which he told • the
officer he intended to haVe uttered on the next day, if
he had not been taken into custody. As he was going
to thestation-house he said to the constable, " The women
were the cause of it all."

The jury returned a verdict of Guilty.
Mr. Baron GURNEY inquired who and what the
prisoner was?
Mr. Wilkins said that he was the son of a respectable
tradesman, and on the death of his father he came into
the possession of some money which he very quickly got
rid of, and in the course of his career of dissipation he
became acquainted with some very bad characters, who
had probaely induced him to commit the offence.
Mr. Baron GURNEY said he could not look upon this as
any excuse for the prisoner's conduct, and he felt•it his
duty to sentence the prisoner to twelve years' transpor-
tation.

Joseph Clark, 27, Andrew Murphy, 22, Charles Saun-
ders, 27, and Emma Farmer, 32, were indicted for a
burglary in the dwelling-house of Robert Tayler, and
stealing a quantity of copper money, some fourpenny
pieces, and other articles, his property.
The prosecutor is the landlord of the Black Horse in
Kent-street, and on the night of the robbery he went to
bed, leaving the premises all safe. He was awoke by a
police-constable in the night, and it was then ascertained
that some thieves had entered the premises by a window,
and that the articles mentioned in the indictment had
been stolen. The guilt of the *whole of the
prisoners was clearly proved, as they were stopped run-
ning away from the prosecutor's huuse with the stolen
property in their possession.
The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, anti the pri-
soners Clark and Farmer were also proved to have been
before convicted of felony.
Mr. Byron GURNEY sentenced the prisoners to be
transported for twenty years.
When the sentence was pronounced the whole of the
prisoners became very violent, and the woman, address-
ing the Learned Judge, said, in an impudent tone—
" Can't you give us any more, old fellow ?" It was with
some difficulty that they were at length removed from
the dock.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(YESTERDAY.)
MANSION-HO USE.

A most ontrageoui imposter, who said that his nanat
was James Edward Smith, was brought before the Lord
Mayor, charged with having "bilked" the landlord of
the Monument Tavern.

The prisoner, it was stated, walked into the tavern,
ate a beef steak, drank six bottles of slcia water, and
then had some brandy and water, and was about to
walk off without settling the bill, but was delivered into
the hands of a policeman.
The defendant—A.ly Lord, I complain to you that
these men have acted illegally in detaing me upon such
a charge. It is a mere debt, and I am' sure yuur Lord-
ship will treat it as such, and I have my remedy at law
for this false imprisonment.
The policeman, who took the prisoner to the station-
house, said he kicked and struck several of them dan-
gerously.
The defendant—Every one of them has violated the
law. The money is recoverable by civil process. It is
through the medium of the pro`ession, and nut through
the ragamuffin police, that the debt is to be got.
The LORD MAYOR—You are are not only responsible
for the impueition upon the landlord, but for the violent
attack you have made upon the police ; and I sentence
you to imprisonment for a month.
The defendant—l appeal against that sentence. It is
a most infernal and diabolical system of injustice to im-
prison a man for a debt regularly contracted as a debt.
I protest. against it.

The LAD MAYOR (to the officers)—Let him be
removed.

It was with difficulty the ruffian was taken from the
bar; and the officers were obliged to chain his hands
behind his back before they could convey him to the
Compter.
Two men, named Henry illanby and William Taylor,
were, on Tuesday, brought before Alderman John
Johnson, charged with having stolen a quantity of lead,
part of a leaden coffin which had been deposited about
twenty years ago in the vault of the church of St. Cle-
ment, East Cheap. .

It appeared that the prisoners had been employed to
make preparations in the vault for a funeral, and that
they had been observed by some of the neighbours walk-
ing away with a large piece of lead from the receptacle;
Information having been given to a policeman, the
men were apprehended, and the lead was found in a
butter-firkin in Gracechurch-street, where they had de-
posited it.

- Amongst those who gave evidence was Jane Margaret
Walker, who stated that she was assistant to the sexton
of the church of St. Clement, Eastcheep. She gave
most extraordinary evidence, and said that the cogins
were sometimes ordered by the churchwardens to be
broken up. About nine years ago a circumstance of the
kind had taken place. Upon that occasion the then
churchwarden had authorised the breaking up of the
leaden coffins.
Alderman JOHNSON asked the witness whether she
participated in the profits derived from the sale of the
lead? The witness replibd in the negative.
Alderman JOHNSON, who was very much surprised at
hearing of such a practice, desired to be informed how
long the coffins were allowed to remain in the vault
before they were disturbed, and the lead appropriated?
The witness said the lead•of the coffins had been broken
up but once since she had been employed about the
church, and that was rune years ago. She believed it
was sanctioned by the churchwarden, and the profits
were put down to the parish accounts.
Alderman JOHNSON—I nevf-r supposed that such dis•
graceful proceedings could, for a moment, have been
sanctioned or endured.

One of the prisoners said that he had been employed
by the other to take away the piece of lead, which had
been lying amongst some rubbish, and the other prisoner
said he had given the direction under the firm impresson
that the lead was the perquisite of the churchwarden.
The latter declared that, nine years ago, the lead of the
coffins had been actually sold out of the churchyard,
and the money obtained from the sale was carried to the
account of the churchwarden for the time being.
Alderman JOHNSON said that so extraordinary a
business must certainly- be closely investigated, and
remanded the prisoners.
MAR YLEBONE.

William Mutton was placed at the bar on a charge of
having ill-used his wife anti• putting her in bodily fear.
Hannah Mutton, living at No. 5, Henry-street, Pottland-
town, said, that she had been married to the prisoner for
thirteen years, but had in consequence of his ill-treatment,
arising from jealousy, separated from him about three weeks
ago. He professed penitence, and she had agreed to return
to his house again, and he was to have come to her lodgings
at nine o'clock last evening, for the purpose of removing her
boxes. She waited, but he did not arrive till twelve, and
then he swore that she had been out that evening, with some
men, and caught up the poker and aimed a blow at
her head. She fortunately got hold of it and
saved herself from the blow. He then threw her
on the bed and struck her several times over
the head with his fist. He also caught her by the throat,
but her screams of murder caused come persons to enter the
room, and she escaped into a neighbour's house. Oa the
previous Friday the prisoner had called at the place where
she worked, and presented a pistol at her person. She did
not know whether it was loaded or not. The complainant's
statement was corroborated by other witnesses.
Mr. RAWLINSON—What do you mean by this conduct to
.your wife, Sir ? Prisoner—l am told that she is an infamous
woman, and she has been intoxicated several times.
Mr. RAWLINSON—That's no reason you should murder her.
You are fined 203. for the assault upon her, and you must
find two housekeepers to become bail, in 101. each, that you
will keep the peace for the remainder of the year.
After the charges in the sheet had been disposed of, a poor
deranged creature, was brought in. He had been observed
by a young lad immersed to the chin in a stagnant ditch, at
the back of Primrose-hill. With the assistance of several
persons the poor creature was got out, and given hitt) charge
of the police. When introduced to the presence of the Ma-
gistrate, he exhibited a very great degree of violence, by
throwing himself upon the floor, tearing the lining from his
hat, and thrusting it into his mouth. He attempted several
times to bite his hands and arm, and it required the most
strenuous efforts of two strong men to prevent his injuring
himself. The Magistrate directed that he should be taken
in a cab to the workhouse of St. George, Hampstead, the
parish in which he was first discovered.
UNION-HALL.

Edward Langman was charged with stealing five bottles
of wine, the property of Mr. Yates, landlord of a public-house
in Tooley-street.
It appeared that the defendant was in great distress a few
weeks since, and was taken into the complainant's service
from motives of charity, and was employed in attending the
customers in the skittle-ground. On the preceding day he
