THE CASE OF THONI-AS EDGELEY.

The defendant, Edgeley, this morning surrendered
to an indictment charging him with forging to de-
fraud the Leeds Banking Company, and also to
another indictment for misdemeanour.
Mr. ;Giffard having intimated that he proposed
to proceed with the indictment for misdemeanour,
Mr. Sergeant Ballantine said he had come to the
court that morning to try the forgery cases, and he
thought it was competent for his learned friend now
to choose to go on with the misdemeanour.
Mr. Giffard said there arose certain difficulties
with respect to a witness named Greenland, who
was now in Geneva, as to his attendance at the
trial for forgery, and as the case for misdemeanour
was not affected by that circumstance, he proposed
to try the case now.

Mr. Justice Willes asked what was proposed to be
done wich the forgery ease?

Mr. Giffard said, in the event of a conviction,
he should ask for the charge of forgery to stand
over.

Mr. Justice Willes—But what in the case of an
acquittal ?

kr. Giffard—Then I should not offer any evi-
dence on the charge of forgery.

Mr. Sergeant Ballantine asked that the trial might
be further postponed to allow him to make an ap-
plication to the Court of Queen's Bench for a cer-
tiorari,in accordance with the direction of Mr. Judie e

Bramwell.
Mr. Justice Willes said he did not think that
Baron Bramwell's directions applied to the present
altered state of affairs. He thought the defendant
had ample notice; and therefore the case ought at
once to go on. . _ _

Mr. Sergeant Ballantine asked that it might be
postponed for two or three days, Saturday for
instance.

Mr. Giffard objected to that ; the case could be
taken either to-morrow or Friday.
Mr. Justice Willes thought the trial ought at once
to go on. _

Sergeant Ballantine thought a day or two's
delay ought to be granted.
After a consultation with Mr. Justice Chanuell,
Mr. Justice Willes fixed the case for Friday, not
only that the prisoner should surrender, but that he
should take his trial.
THE CASE OF FENIAN ENLISTMENTS.

Peter Mohun, alias Morgan, was arraigned for
feloniously, maliciously, and advisedly endeavour-
ing to seduce John Maloney and others, then being
persons serving in her Majesty's land forces, from
their duty and allegiance to her said Majesty, he
well knowing at the time that the said John Ma-
loney and others were then persons serving in her
Majesty's land forces.

The prisoner pleaded not guilty to this indict-
ment, and also to the following indictment that he
did, together with divers other evil disposed per-
sons, feloniously and wickedly compass, imagine,
invent, devise, and intend to deprive and depose
our lady the Queen from the style, honour, and
royal name of the imperial crown of the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.
The facts of the case were fully reported in The
Sun during the examination of the prisoner before
the magistrate at Bow-street Police-court.

The trial was proceeding when we went to prem.

CRIMINAL COURT.—This Day.

-

OLD COURT.

THE CASE OF LORD SIILFTESBURT'S STEWARD.
It will be recollected that this trial was appointed
by the late Mr. Justice Shee to take place at the
present sessions, but this morning Mr. D. Seymour
applied to the judges for a further postponement on
the ground that the defendant was at present suf-
fering from smallpox, and also that proceedings in
Chancery were still pending.
Mr. Huddlestone opposed the application for post-
ponement for any very lengthened period. There
had now been a great many de!ays, and it was much
to be desired that a decision should become to on the
charge made against Mr. Waters.
Mr. Justice IVilles asked when it was likely the
proceedings in Chancery would terminate ; but it
was intimated to his lordship that the suit was still
in a very peculiar state. The learned julge said,
that taking the whole of the circumstances of the
case into consideration the proper course to pursue
would be, not to appoint the trial for the July ses-
sion, but in the opinion of the bench it was thought
that the proper thing to do was to put tha trial
down for disposal at the August session, the defen-
dant giving ten days' notice of his intention to come
up for trial then, either party being at liberty to
apply to the learned judge then presiding for a
further postponement. It would not be right to
impose any conditions on the learned judge that
might then have to preside in the court.

The Moniteur de l' Armee of to-day publishes an
article commenting on the observations of the
New Prussian (Cross) Gazette, which, in giving the
particulars of the Prussian military reductions, ex-
pressed the hope that other Powers would follow
her example. The Moniteur states that France had
already taken the initiative by sending to their
homes 14,000 men at the end of March. Conse-
quently the Prussian reductions were subsequent to
those of France, and in proportion smaller.

DEATH OF M. VICTOR HUGO'S HEIR. —We regret
to announce that a heavy affliction has just befallen M.
Victor Hugo and his family in the death of his only grand-
child and inheritor of his name in the second degree - a
child of something over twelve months—the son of M.
Charles Hugo. The poet's hops and affections were con-
centrated with all the intensity of his nature on the little
creature who has, after three days' illness, been called
away, and ha fools his bereavement with a depth of sorrow
that claims from all who know him, either personally or
by his works, a large measure of that constant sympathy
which le himself so bountifully extends to all who need it.
