alleged that, previous to his going up to London for
that purpose, he borrowed of the plaintiff the sum of

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

OLD COURT.

The Recorder sat in this Court and disposed of a num-
ber of cases of larceny, the details of which were of no
public interest. s

In the course of the day the Grand Jury came into
Court and returned the following bills, having reference
to the alleged will forgeries :-
1. A true bill against William Henry Barber, Joshua
Fletcher, William Saunders, and Georgiana Dorey, for
felony.

2. A true bill against the same parties. •
3. A true bill against the same.
4. A true bill against Barber, Fletcher, and Dorey.
5. A true bill against Susannah Richards, Barber;
Fletcher, and Dorey.
6. A true bill against these same prisoners.
7. A true bill against Lydia Saunders, Barber, Flet-
cher, W. Saunders, and Dorey.
8. A true bill against all the above-mentioned pri•
goners.

9. A true bill against Dorey, Barber, and Fletcher.
10. A true bill against the same prisoners.
It will be seen that no bill has been returned against
Griffin, and it is expected that he will be admitted a
witness for the Crown.

SURREY QUARTER SESSIONS.
REIGATE. April 9.
The general quarter sessions for the county of
Surrey commenced to-day, at the Town-hall, Rei-
gate, before J. W. Freshfield, Esq., Chairman ; H.
Kemble, Esq., M.P. ; J. W. Denison, Esq., M.P. ;
Sir R. Frederick; C. Barclay, Esq.; A. K. Barclay,
Esq. ; T. Puckle, Esq. ; H. Gorse, Esq.; G. T.
Nicholson, Esq. ; and a number of other Justices.
FEES OF COURT.
The usual routine business having been disposed of,
Mr. JEFFREY, upon the report of the Visiting Jus-
tices to the county gaol being presented for confirma-
tion, said he begged leave to bring to the notice of the
Court a subject which he considered of very great im-
portance. He held in his hand the petition of a
person named Ward, who complained that, being
arraigned upon a charge of misdemeanour, and ac-
quitted, he was compelled to pay a fee of 10s. 6d. for his
discharge. The petitioner complained bitterly of this
proceeding, and of the hardship of a poor man being
compelled to pay a heavy fee, after he was
declared innocent of the charge made against him.
He (Mr. Jeffrey) would not waste the time of the
Court by any remarks upon the injustice of this
course of proceeding. He believed that the question
had before, arisen, and that the only plea urged in
favour of the continuance of the practice was, that it
had existed for a great many years, that the fee had
been sanctioned by the judges, and that in point of
fact a prescriptive right had been obtained. The
matter had, however, been brought before Parliament,
and the Secretary of State for the Home Department
had declared the practice to be illegal, and to amount
almost to the offence of extortion at common law.
Mr. Jeffrey then read an extract from a speech made
by Sir J. Graham in the House of Commons, in which
he declared all such fees to be ab origine illegal, and
said that the order of the Court of Quarter Sessions
sanctioning such fees, although they might justify
persons in taking them, could not render them legal ;
and, considering it a great hardship upon defendant, he
felt it his duty to bring the subject before the Court.
He believed that in Middlesex the practice of taking
such fees had been abolished, and he thought it was
high time that the same course should be adopted in
the county of Surrey.
Thc CHAIRMAN said he believed it had been the
custom from time immemorial to take these fees, and
this was the difficulty the Court would have to get
over.

Mr. JEFFREY said, that although this might be the
case, in his opinion it was illegal, and the Court
were bound to interfere and stop such proceedings in
future.
The CHAIRMAN said that if the fees were illegal,
they could not be enforced. Did Mr. Jeffrey mean
to make any motion upon the subject?
Mr. JEFFREY said his only object, on the present
occasion, was to bring the matter before the Court.
He thought it monstrous, and contrary to every prin-
ciple of justice, that a poor man, who was acquitted of
the charge made against him, should have to pay a
heavy fee for his discharge.
Mr. Dawsoil concurred with the Hon. Magistrate,
that it was•a hard and cruel case for a poor man to be
compelled to pay such a fee. A complaint of a simi-
lar nature had been made some years ago, and a me-
morial was submitted to the Secretary of State. He
believed that there was at present a Committee of the
House of Commons sitting, for the purpose of con-
sidering the question of those fees, and whether it
would not be better to substitute a salary in lieu of
them. As to their legality, he could not admit that
an opinion of the Secretary of State ought to be of
more avail than the order of Quarter Sessions.
Mr. KEMBLE wished to know who received those
fees, and how they were applied ? By a paper which
he held in his hand they appeared to be divided be-
tween the crier of the Court, the jury, and the sum-
moning officer.
The Deputy Clerk of the Peace said that he had
nothing to do with those fees. They were received
by the crier, and he could explain how they were ap-
propriated.
Mr. KEMBLE said this what he desired to know,
and he put the question to the crier of the Court.
The Crier replied that he believed the fees in ques-
tion had been taken for a great many years, and for
40 years he had taken them under the authority of the.
Court. The money was divided between the jury,
the summoning officer, and himself.
Mr. KEMBLE—And these fees were received under
the authority of the Court ?
The Crier said they were.
The CHAIRMAN inquired what was to be done upon
the subject. Did Mr. Jeffery mean to give notice
of any motion ? At present the discussion was pre-
mature.
Mr. JEFFREY said he thought the matter was one
of very considerable importance, and he should cer-
tainly give notice of a motion to take the subject into
consideration at the next session.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(YESTERDAY.)
GUILDHALL.
Yesterday George Gumm was brought up in the cus-
tody of Daniel Forrester, on suspicion of having stolen
four parcels, containing Bank of England notes and cash,
to the amount of 1,6001., from the Captain's private
room, on board the City of Boulogne steam-boat, on her
voyage to England, on the 6th of September. Mr. Hum-
phrey's clerk watched the case on the part of the pri-
soner, and Mr. Child conducted the prosecution.
The evidence previously taken was read over, to the
effect that the prisoner tendered one of the stolen notes
for 101., at Mr. Storey's, a tailor, in Fleet-street, in pay-
ment fur some clothing, and he was there apprehended
by Forrester. The officer discovered that others of the
stolen notes had been put into circulation, one fur 5/.
having been changed at Messrs. Harveys', the linen-
drapers, on Ludgate-hill; one at a tobacconist's in Fleet-
street, one at a tobacconist's in the Strand, one at a
hosier's in the Strand, and one at a grocer's in Oxford-
ford-street. In three of these cases the witnesses posi-
tively identified the prisoner as having passed those
notes, but there was no evidence from France to show
that these notes were placed in the parcels stolen.
Mr. Child then proposed to bring the case home to
the prisoner as to two 5L notes.
The first witness sworn was a Frenchman, who took
the oath in the fashion of his country, not holding the
writings of the Evangelists in his hand, but holding his
hand up, and repeating the form of words.
Sir PETER LAURIE said this was the custom in Scot-
land, and it appeared to be more solemn than that which
prevailed in England, of listening in silence and kissing
the cover of the book.

Fermin Braseur, clerk to a banker at Boulogne, pro-
duced a list of notes to the amount of 1801., which, with
290/. in cash, he packed up in a parcel on the 6th of
September last, and addressed it to Mr. Wight, Union
Bank, London. In the list were two 51. notes, Nos. 14,673
and 35,063. He gave the parcel to a clerk named
Boulle, to convey it to Mr. De Wisme, the -ship's
broker.

Etienne Boulle deposed that he saw the notes packed
up in the parcel, and delivered it at Mr. 1)e Wisme's.
Jean Baptiste De Wisme, a ship-broker at Boulogne,
deposed that he received this parcel, and placed it with
five others and the ship's papers in a leather bag. It
was rather heavy, and be delivered it to Baptiste, a man
belonging to the New Commercial Steam-boat Company,
who fetched it.

Baptiste Seneschal, clerk to the Boulogne agent of
the Commercial Company, stated that he received the
leather bag from* the last witness, and carried it first
to the company's office, and thence on board the steam-
boat, where he delivered it to Captain Tune.
Captain Tune deposed that he took the bag to his
berth, a private room in the state cabin. He placed the
six parcels in a drawer, having first compared the ad-
dresses with the invoice. One was directed to Mr.
Wight. He shut the drawers, and locked the door of
his cabin.

Sir PETER LAURIE asked if he saw the parcels safe
after he left France, for it was material to know where
the felony was committed?
Captain Tune said he saw them safe when they had
got out to sea about nine miles. He did not miss them
till half the passengers were out of the ship on reaching
London. _ _ _ _ _

Sir P. LAURIE asked when he sailed, and when he
reached London.

Captain Tune replied he sailed at ten o'clock at night,
and reached London at two in the afternoon next dad•.
The prisoner's solicitor asked how long he was occu-
pied in passing from coast to coast ?

Captain Tune said generally two hours and three
quarters.

Sir PETER asked if he saw the prisoner on board, or
had any recollection of him ?
The Caption answered, no.
Mr. Baker, a tobacconist in the Strand, proved that he
received the 51 note number 14,673, from the prisoner,
who gave him a fictitious address, differing from that
given at either of the other places. The prisoner bought
a quarter of a pound of cigars.
J. Dickenson, shopman to Mr. Jones, a grocer in Ox-
ford-street, said 'DU took the other 51. note, number
35,063, from a man who purchased some grocery, and
w;:nt away by an omnibus. He could not swear the
prisoner was the person. He had some remembrance of
the prisoner's face, but he had no distinct recollection
that he was the person who paid this particular note.
Mr. Child said that was all the evidence he was now
prepared to offer, but if a little time were allowed he
might be able to strengthen his case.
The prisoner's solicitor reserved what he had to say
till he saw the whole case.

The prisoner was thEn again remanded.
CLERKEN WELL.

SHOCKING OCCURRENCE. - Yesterday morning
when Mr. COMBE took his seat on the bench, a re-
spectable looking man, who seemed to be labouring
under great excitement, came before the Magistrate,
requesting his advice.
He said his name was Long; that he was in the
employment of Messrs. Ashton and Berwick, under-
takers, Gray's Inn-road. On that morning, about
nine o'clock, a woman cut her throat in his house,
No. 3, Robert -street, Bedford-row. She was not
dead, but nearly so.
Mr. COMBE inquired where she was ? Long—She,
is at the Gray's Inn-road Hospital. The surgeon told
me there was no hope of saving her life.
Being further interrogated by the Magistrate, the
applicant stated that the unfortunate woman is the
wife of a gentleman's servant, and that herself and
husband have been lodging with him for a consider-
able time. On Monday last they had a quarrel, but up
to that time they lived very happily together. Yester-
day morning at eight o'clock, the husband left home
to go to his employment, and about nine, applicant
was called in, and found the woman in her parlour
bleeding from a terrible gash in the throat. He had
her conveyed to the hospital immediately.
Mr. COMBE said he could not see in what manner
he was called upon to interfere.
Long wanted to know what he was to do with the
room in which she committed the act, which was co •
vered with blood.

Mr. COMBE ordered him to lock it up until the hu3
band's return.

The applicant thanked the Worthy Magislate and
left the Court.

[The Reporter ascertained that the woman is sup-
posed to have committed the act in her own room on
the second floor, as there is a large pool of blood there
and a razor dyed with blood lying beside it. It would
seem that she regretted the act soon after its execu-
tion, for she put a wet towel to the wound, and then,
strange to say, walked down stairs to the parlour on
the ground floor, which she entered. A woman who
was sitting there was horror-struck on seeing the
gaping wound from which the blood was flowing; the
unfortunate creature staggered and fell, but was
placed in a chair. and removed to the hospital. Her
name is Maria Nave, and she is about twenty-eight
of age. She has no children. Late yesterday even-
ing the Reporter called at the Royal Free Hospital,
and was informed that she was still alive, in frill pos.
session of her intellects, but in great pain. She had
expressed her contrition for the crime, and a clergy-
man was obtained at her request. Her recovery was
considered hopeless.]
John Jones was charged with being concerned in
stealing a gold watch, a gold chain, two gold seals,
and a ring; the property of Mrs. Louisa Barnechini,
landlady of the Hole-in-the-Wall public-house, Kirby-
street, Hatton-garden.

The prisoner and three others went into the house
of the prosQcutrix on the previous day and called for
some drink. The jewellery was lying on a desk be-
hind the bar, which had been left unattended for a
few minutes. Immediately on the departure of the
prisoners the property was missed. Jones, who is an
idle disorderly character, was arrested in the evening
by Martin, police-constable 144 G. When the pri-
soner was apprehended he said he had attempted to
destroy himself at London-bridge on Sunday evening,
and that he would do for himself to-night.—Re-
manded.

OUTRAGEOUS CONDUCT.—Six labourers in Mr.
Barlow's brick-fields, White Conduit-fields, five of
them named White, and a sixth named Pearson, were
charged with assaults of a very aggravated character,
on Mr. William Dennis, and on Mr. J. Price, builders,
residing at Twyford Villa, Caledonian-road, Is-
lington.

fir. Price's face was bruised in a shocking manner;
one of his eyes was quite closed up, his head was
bandagei in consequence of the wounds which had
been inflicted on it by his brutal assailants.

It appeared from the evidence, which was very
voluminous, that on the previous day a little boy, in
crossing the brick-fields, disturbed some of the sand
which had been prepared by the prisoners. One of
them, John White, followed the lad, and because he
refused to return with them beat him cruelly, dashing
him against the ground with all his strength. Mr.
Dennis, seeing that the poor lad was fainting from
the ill-treatment, told White to desist, but White
immediately struck Mr. Dennis on the breast, and
knocked him down. Mr. Price ran to the assistance
of Mr. Dennis, but the other prisoners, and several
other of their fellow-labourers, not in custody,
came running across the field in a body. They
immediately attacked the prosecutors. Mr. Den-
nis received a blow on the head which rendered
him senseless, and three or four other very severe
blows on the chest. On recovering somewhat he ran
into his own house, which was hard by, but had no
sooner reached it than his wife cried out " Oh, for
God's sake go back, they are murdering poor Price."
He returned with a stick, and saw five or six men
beating Mr. Price, who was lying on the ground
bleeding profusely from several wounds on the head.
John White was crying out " Give it to the b—," and
" Give me a knife and I will soon knife him." A
police sergeant came up, and Mr. Price was removed
into his house, in a state of insensibility.
Mr. GREENWOOD expressed his determination to
send the prisoners for trial, and depositions were ac-
cordingly taken down. The case was, however, re-
manded for the attendance of the boy, who it is hoped
will come forward. •

THAMES POLICE.
Charles Tripp, a showily dressed man, whose air and
demeanour in the dock exhibited considerable preten-
sion, was yesterday charged with a cowardly and unpro-
voked assault en a modest looking young woman, named
Mary Craven.

Vie complainant stated that as she was going down
Butcher's-row on Monday evening, three gentlemen, of
whom the prisoner was one,_ were standing at the door
of No. 10. One of the gentlemen (not the prisoner) put
out his foot, and nearly tripped complainant up. Her aunt
remonstrated with them and went back to take the num-
ber of the house, after which the prisoner pursued their.
He used the coarsest possible language, called her and
her companions b—y w—s, and gave her a violent blow
on the head, threatening at the same time to smash her
face. She called for a constable, and, when one came in
sight, the prisoner offered to take them to the fair and
make it up. This, however, they declined, and he was
given in charge.
Mary Kelly, a barmaid at the Plough Tavern, con-
firmed the complainant's statement, and added that Tripp
had also given her a violent blow.
The prisoner, who undertook to plead his own cause,
with the usual proverbial result; not very complimentary
to the client, cross-examined the witnesses with an air
of would be professional sagacity, which created con-
siderable merriment. He did not prove very successful
in shaking the direct testimony, though his flippancy
enforced the reprimand of the Court. Being called on
for his defence, he declared solemnly, if it were the last
word he had to speak, the statements of the complainant
and her witness were false. Seeing one of his friends
talking to the women, whom he took to be women of the
town, and he still retained the same impression, he
asked him to come away, upon which the complainant
and her friends abused and threw dirt at him, upon
which lie naturally put up his hand, which might pos-
sibly have struck one of them. He regretted that the
witnesses who could disprofe their assertions were not
present. •
Mr. BRODERIP would ease his mind on that point by
sending the case to the sessions, when he could procure
their attendance. He should, however, accept bail, him-
self in 40/, and sureties of 20/, to answer both charges
of assault.—Bail not being forthcoming, he was locked up.

DR. KALLEY AND RELIGIOUS
LIBERTY IN PORTUGAL

The case of Dr. Malley, a Scotch physician, who
was, last autumn, illegally imprisoned at Madeira, on
a charge of " blasphemy and heresy," and " abetting
apostacy and heresy," has been tried at Lisbon and
Funchal.

On the 24th Feb., the Judge Conservator at the
latter place passed the following sentence :—" Sup-
posing the British subject, Dr. Kalley, to have dis-
turbed the public order of this island by preaching
doctrines opposed to its religion, as is sworn by' the
witnesses; and considering this preaching an abuse
which degenerates into crime; nevertheless, the said
Dr. Kalley, as a Protestant, which he is, is not
punishable, seeing that there does not exist a law to
punish in the person of the accused the act charged.
, therefore, declare the accusation given against the
said Dr. Kalley irrelevant, and order him to be held
clear of guilt.'

Baffled mi the religious question, Dr. Kalley's pro-
secutors, we understand, are going to institute pro-
ceedings against him as a disturber of the public
peace. On the other hand, Dr. Kalley, at the sug-
gestion of Lord Aberdeen, is about to petition the
Government at Lisbon, for compensation for the loss
of his professional income during his illegal im-
prisonment.
In the course of the proceedings before the tribunal
of Rellacao at Lisbon, the public prosecutor, acting
as counsel against Dr. salley, gave a very lucid ex-

position of the existing law of religious liberty in
Portugal, wherein he clearly showed that the supra'
macy of the Romish Church is no more, but that
Portuguese subjects enjoy the same liberty -AS fr
Englishmen do in all religious matters. He says►
" I do not characterise the accusation as bias•
phemy, nor as heresy, because these crimes are
only considered such when committed by :
ers of the Roman Catholic apostolic religion,
and not by those who, like the appellant, follow 3
different faith, and therefore, being extra ecclesianh
are beyond all censure civil and ecclesiastical. Nor
can I characterise it as apostacy, because I under-
stand that the crime of apostacy ceased to exist among
us in virtue of Article 145 of the Constitutional
Charter; in which ample religious liberty is guav'
teed to Portuguese citizens in the following terms :I
No one shall be prosecuted for motives of religion;
wherein the absolute term ' no one' excludes all ex'
ception of persons, and the very broad expression for
motives of religion' embraces all that relates to the re
ligious creed of every one ; and, therefore, if these
two citizens apostatised from our religion, though
`hey did greatinjury to their souls, yet they did not •
commit any civil crime for which they can be Pa'
nished."

EMPLOYMENT OF WOMEN IN
AGRICULTURE.

In the course of the discussion which took place on
Lord Ashley's amendment, on Friday week, Sir 11.
Inglis said, " The supporters of the Ten Hours' pre-
position had been taunted with the sufferings of the
agricultural population. They had been told of Eng'
lish women being kept labouring in the fields during
seven or eight hours on a winter day, without the or
portunity of change for clothing. He would be glad
to hear the county pointed out in which that oe'
curred." We should be glad to know the agricultte
ral county in which it has not occurred. If the
Right Hon. Baronet will only take the trouble to re'
fer to a report laid before Parliament last session, on
the employment of women and children in agetcul'
Lure, he will find the following remarks, by 311::
Austin, relative to the female population of DO4lOl
Devon, Somerset, and Wilts :
" The clothing of women employed in field-labour
would appear to be inadequate for their work; but thei
deficiency is not complained of by them. A change °
clothes seems to be out of the question; although neees",
sary, not only for cleanliness, but for convenience, all"
saving of time. The upper parts of the under-clothes
of women at work, even their stays, quickly become wet
through with perspiration, whilst the lower parts cowl
escape getting equally wet in nearly every kind °
work they are engaged in, except in the driest weather.
It not unfrequently happens, that a women, on return'
ino• home from work, is obliged to go to bed for an hour
or two to allow her clothes to be dried. It is also by 0°
means uncommon for her, if she does not do this, to P 11",
them on again the next morning nearly as wet as when
she took them off. It does notappear that anyill cense'
quences to the health have been observed to arise froal
this cause, unless rheumatism be partly attributable to
Here, then, is a statement as to the condition 0,!
female labourers in the agricultural districts which
we would recommend to the special considerationi
not only of Sir Robert Inglis, but of all those sur
porters of Lord Ashley who have been so loud la
their condemnation of the factory system, on AS
count of the severe toil to which females employ
in mills are said to be subjected. Mr. Austin
.seem
inclined to believe the improbable statement, that
working all day without a change of clothes has "n°
ill consequences to the health ;" but there are other
who hold a very different opinion. Thus we find,f
from the report of Mr. Denison on the counties
Suffolk, Norfolk, and Lincoln, that, although all Pe
informants (with one exception) agree that out-doe
labour is "conducive to health," the single witness to
..
the contrary is perhaps more worthy of credit tile:
the whole host of those who differ from him.
Rev. E. J. Howman, rector of Bexwell, in Norto"
who is said to have paid great attention to the cool'
tion of the labouring classes, makes the following
statement :
" As far as I have been able to form an opinion, I aiTh
satisfied that out-door labour is prejudieial to the.hes'„
of females ; and this opinion has recently received e°";
firmation in the inquiries I have made on the subjec
amongst my medical friends. There are very few at t!ie
ts
age of fifty who are not affected with rheumatism
various shapes. A young man who has recently cot
from town to assist one of our surgeons, was particuliFts
struck with the prevalence of scrofulous cornPlo
amongst the women."
Much stress was laid by Lord Ashley and his 500:
porters on the ignorance of domestic duties amo.,ll°B
the females employed in factories ; but this evil "nt
fear is one which prevails to quite as great an exte a
among the female population of Dorsetshire, en
other agricultural counties, as it does in the inent/,
E 0
facturing districts. In the report to which we h 5.
already referred, Mr. Austin, one of the asaistallf
Commissioners, states that, " among the women
the agricultural labouring class, ignorance of the COPi;
monest things, needlework, cooking, and other matte.
of domestic economy, is described as nearly unr
versally prevalent. A girl brought up in a cottugp
until she marries, is generally ignorant of near)
everything she ought to be acquainted with, for tt,
comfortable and economical management of a e°o(
tage." Mr. Austin remarks, that in consequence
their ignorance of domestic economy, such girls so
prevented from getting out to service. We rat Pet

and his followers seem resolved to exclude them o°r,
