LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Jan. 31.
TILE QUEEN V. P. L. STRACLIAN.
It will be recollected that this was an indictment for an
indecent assault. The defendant was found guilty.
Mr. Kelly now prayed the judgment of the Court upon the
defendant.

Lord Denman suggested that it might not perhaps be con-
sidered necessary to read the Judge's notes of the trial.
Mr. Kelly said, he thought it might be proper to read the
evidence of the prosecutor.
Mr. Thesiger, for the defendant, said he feared, then, that
all the evidence must be read.

Mr. Justice Wightinan then read over his notes of the evi
donee of the two chief witnesses.

Affidavits were then put in from Lieut.-Col. Campbell, who
stated that he had been Governor of Sierra Leone, and that
the defendant was then in service under him ; that he was
employed upon some very important missions, during which
time he caught the fever of the climate, and his whole frame
became paralysed ; and his mind was at times so much al-
tered, that he had sent home a certificate stating his belief
that the defendant was occasionally insane.
Other affidavits from various medical men were also read,
who stated that a lengthened imprisonment would be of se-
rious injury.
Mr. Thesiger then rose, and said that, in addressing their
Lordships on behalf of the defendant, it was impossible he
should do so except under circumstances of the greatest em-
barrassment and difficulty, arising out of the feeling which
must be excited from the serious offence of which the de-
fendant had been convicted. The facts were now so fully
before their Lordships, that it was almost unnecessary for
him to make any observations ; he should be very far from
wishing to make any remark upon the result of the trial.
His Lordship, who had tried this case with that fairness and
impartiality which characterised him, would do him the
justice to recollect that he abstained from making any
observations to the disparagement of the boys, although
he certainly expected to show they must have mistaken
the case, or their conduct would have been different; but
he assumed all they had stated to be true. Mr. Strachan
had offered no affidavit ; he felt it his duty to
bow to the Court. He (Mr. Theeiger) thought the
severe view the jury had taken might have been mitigated,
and that the count for the assault only might have
been found. lie would not observe upon the case itself,
but there were peculiar circumstances in the case,
which, when their Lordships had to assign punishment, ha
was sure they would not lose sight of. It appeared that the
defendant had been, for a period of eight years, in a country
which had been the grave of so many of his fellow-country-
men—that he had there been engaged on very important
duties, so as to secure to him the confidence of the officer
who had the command of the settlement—that he had re-
turned with a shattered, constitution and with a mind en-
feebled by the disease with which he had been visited, not
so as to render him an irresponsible agent, but unquestion-
ably to place him in a situation for their Lordships' merey.
Their Lordships had heard his character from persons of high
station and respectability, who had known him for a consi-
derable number of years, and he was quite satisfied that all
these circumstances would weigh strongly upon their Lord-
ships' minds, and when they had to discharge a duty, the
most awful duty a man could discharge—that of passing a
sentence of punishment—while they looked with that sternness
on the offence with which every properly-feeling mind must
regard it, that their Lordships at the same time would feel
that compassion for the sufferings to which this gentleman
had been exposed which would induce them, as far as they
could, consistently with their high and important duties, to
pass a lenient sentence, such as would reconcile justice with
mercy.
Mr. Kelly, in addressing the Court for the prosecution,
said he was persuaded their Lordships would feel that it was
quite unnecessary for him to occupy the attention of the
Court at any length. By the affidavits a suggestion had
been made that the individual now awaiting their Lordships'
judgment had been subject to occasional aberrations of mind.
His friend had felt himself under the necessity of admitting
that this offence could not be said to have been committed
by an irresponsible agent. Of the offence it was not his in-
tention to say more, except that of any offence of this nature
was one of the gravest character—if it was possible that it
could be aggravated to the highest degree of conceivable
enormity, it was the case now before the Court, because the
Court would boar in mind the age of the boy, and the fact
of its being at Harrow School, where it was scarcely pos-
sible to calculate the extent of the mischief. He was quite
satisfied their Lordships would give full effect to what had
fallen from his Learned Friend, but that they would not be
unmindful of what was due to public justice and to the youth
of this community.
Mr. Watson was on the same side, but declined saying any-
thing.
Mr. Justice Patteson delivered the judgment of the Court
in the following terms :—Patrick Leigh Strachan, you have
been found guilty of an assault with intent to commit a hor-
rible and detestable offence, for which offence, if you had
completed your purpose, your life would have been forfeited.
It appears from all the evidence that you must have gone
down to Harrow for the purpose of attempting something of
this kind upon the boys you might meet with, and that ap-
parently- under circumstances of considerable deliberation.
You can never be.sufficiently- thankful you were detected in
the present instance before you had actually committed the
offence, and your life had become forfeited ; and that it has
pleased God to spare that life for some time, and give you an
opportunity for repentance and amendment, and I earnestly
entreat you to employ your time for that purpose. The sen-
tence of the Court is, that you be imprisoned and kept to
hard labour in Clerkenwell Prison for IS calendar months,
and in the mean time be committed to the custody of the
Marshal.

The defendant was then removed in custody.
The Court sat till a late hour.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Jan. 31.
(Sittings in Banco.)
LORD W. PAGET v. THE MARL OF CARDIGAN.
Sir T. Wilde showed cause against the-rule which was ob.
tained a few days ago by Mr. Sergeant Channell on behalf of
the defendant, for judgment as in cue of a nonsait. The
affidavit upon which the Learned Sergeant relied, stated that
the witness Winter went on the morning appointed for the
trial with the plaintiff's attorney as far as Holborn, on their
way to the Guildhall, and that in Holborn Winter parted
company with the attorney, observing that he should be at
the Guildhall as soon as the attorney himself. When the
plaintiff's attorney, however, reached the Guildhall, he was
informed that Winter was not there, and that he would not
come at all. The Learned Sergeant said, that affidavits had
been filed in support of the rule, negativing imputations
which had been cast upon the defendant, but he did not seek
to discharge the rule upon any other ground than that of the
plaintiff having used due diligence.
Mr. Sergeant Channell said that the object Which the de-
fendant had in view in applying far the rule was to clear him-
self of the charge imputed to him, of having procured the
witness to be sent out of the way. His Learned Friend having
he was ready to accept
disclaimed any charge of that kind,
a peremptory undertaking.
Rule discharged upon a peremptory undertaking to try at
the ensuing sittings.
The Court sat till a late hour, but nothing Rather occurred
which was generally interesting.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MARYLEBONE.
Two middle-aged women, named Elizabeth Todd and
Sarah Trussell, were placed at the bar before Mr. Rawlinson,
the former charged with having, by means of a forged sig•
nature, endeavoured to obtain 116/. 9s. 7d., which was depo-
sited in the Marylebone Savings' Bank, in the name of Mary
Todd, and the latter with being a party concerned in the
attempted fraud in question.
The prisoners are both servants ; Todd at a house in
Gloucester-place; and Tru.ssell in Wilton-crescent, Knights-
bridge.
Mr. Fenney, solicitor, appeared for the prosecution, and
Mr. Wilson, from the office of Mr. Randall, solicitor, for the
prisoners.

Mr. Robert William Sheath stated that he was clerk at
the bank, and that on Saturday, the 20th inst., the pri-
soner Todd produced to him the deposit-book made out
in the name of Mary Todd, and said she wished to with-
draw the whole of the money, the amount of which was
116/. 9s. 7d. She was asked if it was her own money,
and if the account was hers also ; to both of which questions
she replied in the affirmative. Witness filled up a notic pa-
per, and handed it to her for her signature, when she signed
it " Mary Todd," alleging that that was he r own Dame. He
compared it with Mary Tod.d!!! RigklAuTe w 0110 of their
books, and finding 1:1141, 4 di*'4 134Atsrially, told her so, and
that unlasl sii e Pouts write it better on the day of payment
(which was ten dap from that period), she would have ecm
.ettli7 is Ottainiuf the moue. lir Ow; mot t 124,4 4110

had not got her spectaclea with her, and that she had not
written for some years, but that she would practice in the
mean time, and bring her spectacles when she next came.
She then went away.
Mr. Rawlinson—When did yon next see her ? Witness—
Yesterday she cams again, when I filled up a receipt (here
produced) and requested her to write her other name, which
she signed, as you see, ' Mary Todd." I asked her if she
could not write it any better? when she said she would trv,
and she accordingly wrote it a second time. As I was
doubtful as to her being the right person, I referred kir Is
Mr. Douglas Fenney (one of the actuaries), who is ,11141 f
present.

Cross-examined by Mr. Nilsen—l have bean clank in the
Savings' Bank nearly twelve years. I receive-money whey,
it is paid in. I don't know that I ever saw Toad up= auy
occasion previously to the periods I have spoken to. I did
not take the original signature. In the deposit book there
are two :entries in my handwriting; bit I Gannet lacy from
whom I received the money.
Mr. Douglas Fenno), deposed that ha was aesiatant-eecre-
tary and actuary at the St. Mary Mona Ravings' Bank On
the previous day (Tuesday) his attention was called by Mr.
Sheath to the signature of the prisoner Todd, and he asked
her if she was really Mary Todd, to which she replied that
she was, and that she was the person who had, in She first
instance, deposited money upon the account. He (witness)
told her, in the hearing of Trussell, that the signature was not
satisfactory, and that he should require a declaration to he
made before a magistrate as to her identity, upon which
Trussell stepped up and said she knew the pri-
soner Todd to be the M% Todd who had paid in the
first money, and that she rrftseell) was present at the
time of the transaction. "itnese asked her if eke saw
Mary Todd write her name upon the first deposit being
made, to which she replied, " No, I was waiting out-
side." I then said to Truman, " Have you any objection
to make a declaration as to the truth of what yeu have
stated 2" and she answered " No." I prepared a declara-
tion (now produced) which I read over to both of them
carefully, at the same time telling them that if they signed
what was not true, they would be as liable to punishment se
if they had taken a false oath ; they signed and then lett,
and in about half an hour they returned, when Trumeell skid.
"We come to tell you the troth, sir." Tudd then admitted
that the account was not here, but that it had been opened
by her sister, who was now dead. I remarked that it was •
serious case, and that I should not heor anything farther
which they might have to say, until my father (one of the
principals in the Institution) came hems. In a short time
my father returned, and the prisoner, Plizabeth Todd, then
said in the hearing of Trnssall, that the account was her sis-
ter's, but that she (Elizabeth) had paid in nearly all, if
not quite the whole of the money, and that it
was hers. She further said that her sister heti
left a will, and that she had a son living. Witnes asked
Trussell, who admitted that she was present with the real
Mary Todd when the account was opened, how elle could
have suffered him, under the circumstance's to draw up the
declaration which he did, when she made no answer, and
both the prisoners began to cry. I told them I thought I
should be obliged to give them in charge, and any father told
them so too; but I said to them, "If von are suffered to ge
away now, you must consider the charge as hanging eve
your head, and most probably in the course of to-morrow
something more will be heard of it." They begged and prayed
that nos further proceedings might be taken against them, as
they were very sorry for what they had done.
Cross-examined by Mr. Wilson—Todd said shelled always
paid the money in, and that upon one oecation she had draws
out JO/.

The father of the last witness said that he showed the re-
ceipt for the 201. to the prisoner Todd, and asked her if it
VMS in her own handwriting, to which she replied that it was.
Cross-examined by Mr. Wilson—l took the account oci:
ginally, and witnessed the signature of the right party. I
never, to my knowledge, saw the prisoner Todd Rata the
period of the transaction for which he is now here.
Ching, 97 D, proved that on the same morning he took
both the prisoners into custody. Todd, on bang told that
she was charged with attempting to defraud the Marylebone
Savings' Bank, said that what she had lone was entirely
through ignorance, and that Trussell said that there wag no
other object in view than that of saving " legacy duty." •
Robert Todd was then called by Mr. Wilson, and examinee'.
He stated that he lived at 21, Crown-court, Covent-garden.
and that he was the son of Mary Todd, and nephew of the
prisoner Elizabeth Todd ; he was one of the executers ander
the will of his mother, who died on 16th January last, and
that the whole of his deceased mother's fiends was left to hit*
by will, which he proved on Saturday last at Doetors'-cote'
mono. It was by his directions that Elizabeth Todd had
gone to the Bank to draw out the money, she haying bola
him that nearly the whole of the sums were paid in by her,
and that upon one occasion she had drawn out 201. herself.
He thought there would be no difficulty in her (Elizabeth)
drawing the money as she was so well known at the Bank:
and that, for his own part, however innocently and anguardea
ho might have acted, he had no wish to de wrong.
After some consultation between Mr. Rawlinson and .7[r•
Feuney, the solicitor for the prosecution, the prisoners Were
both remanded till Monday next.
QUEEN'S-SQUARE.
Eesma Evans and Mary Ann West, two servant girls, wer!
yesterday brought before the Magistrate, the former charges
with having obtained a situation in a family by means °fel
false character, and the latter with having, ia an ilAdtaa
name and her mistress's dress and jewellery, given dolt
character.
About a month since Mr. Shand, a pawnbroker, living e,
Albert-gate, linikthtebridge, being in want of a servant, tr
prisoner Emma Evans presented herself, and in answer to
inquiries, said she had lived for a fortnight with Mr: Todd.
a linendraper in the neighbourhood.. Inquiries were tnade
on the subject of the girl's character, but the answer being
unsatisfactory, the prisoner Evans was informed that .heV
character ditt not suit. She then declared that she 0014
have an undeniable character from the Hisses/ Brown, nialdeit
ladies, residing at No. 1, Thurlow-place, Brompten. iirg*
Shand accordingly went to No. 1, Thurlow-place, and in-
quired whether the Mimes Brown were at home, to which
the prisoner replied in the affirmative, and, showing her into
the drawing-room, said the youngeet would be with her in
few minutes. Shortly after, the prisoner Mary Anne West.
who was servant to Mrs. Coatley, the landlady of the house,
and whose family were from hums at the time, entered the
room richly dressed, and wearing a profusion of jewellery.
She politely desired Mrs. Shand to be seated, and informed
her that the girl Emma Evans had lived with her fir eighteen
months ; she gave her a good character, not only for the dis-
charge of her duties as a servant, but for moral rectitude.
Mrs. Shand was so well satisfied with the character that She
took the girl Evans into her service, but in the muse of *
fortnight, finding that she was idle and worthless, made soen•
further inquiries, and ascertained that she had been impoalK!
upon. Information was given to the police, and the prisoner
was taken into custody.
Mr. Bond said that Emma Evans must pay a ',snail"' °(411.:
or be imprisoned for two months, and Mary Ann We"
or one month.—The prisoners were locked up.

Irient by the half-premium plan will be five guineas, being the oue-
4alf of the 10/.-, and interest for the retained half ; and, if death
should occur in the first year, the sum of 5001. would be paid less the
Z. retained. The assured may thus have the use for the first year
" 51. ; for the second, of 101. ; and so on till the end of the
seventh year, when the retained sums, amounting to 35/., may either
be repaid, or retained at 5/. per cent. interest until death, when the
i. Wotild lya subtracted from the 500/. then. payable by the Company.
