THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 13, 1850.

ment that the Bill was only proposed to extend to Eng-
land and Wales, and not to Scotland or Ireland. The
tnea,ure was grounded on a very wholesome and
sound prirciplo, that of not allowing a man
to hear and determine any case as judge in
the eventual results of which lht,? might be tither directly
or in3ir~:c~'.yinterensted. Tile expense entailed by the
Act would not be greater than that arising from the
present system of revision by the mayor. Although,
however, he approved of the Bill, he thought it might
be greatly improved by making the adoption of its. pro-
visions by corporate towns entirely permissive.—(Hear.)
The case involved in the Bill was in a nutshell. Mayors
of buroughs,hadan;interest in maintaining the strength of
the political party to-which they belonged, but a revising
barrister would be subject to no such influence or impk-
tmion, and he really could not understand how the
change proposed by this Bill could bo obkctei to.
Lord GALWAY objected to the meastre because it
interfered with the principle of local self government.
Mr. SHAFTO ADAIR, also opposed the Bill.
Sir GEORGE GREY observed that the law as it now
stood provided a remedy fur cases of partiality on
the part of the mayor. No complaint had been trade
against the existing system by any other borough but
Rochester, and he saw no necessity whatever for the
change proposed by this Bill.
After a few words from Mr. SMITH and Mr. GEORGE
HUDSON, who both opposed the Bill, the amendment was
agreed to, and the Bill ordered to be read a second time
that day six months. _ _

FRANCE.

The Dix Decembre containi a letter from Berlin,
stated to com,.e from a person in the immedilte suite
of his Majesty, that says, "the King is not inclined
to severity ; he perceives in Szfeloge as unfortunate
wretch, who ought to be separated from all parties."
The writer adds, he does not believe that the criminal
was ever a frequenter of the

ship, would it not ba more congenial to the precepts of
Christians f.)r the petitioners to appeal exclusively to
the great Lawgiver cf the Usuvrrse to aid them in cook-
ing men better—in correcting their practices by purify-
ing their hearts? Government will protect them in
their effoiti to all these good acts. When they shall
have so instructed the public mind, and awakened the
consciences of individuals as to make them believe
that it is a violation of God'a law to carry the mail,
open past-offices, or receive letters, on Sunday, the evil
of which they complain will cease of itself, without any
exertion of the strung arra of the civil power.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF EXCHEQUER, June 12.
GOBILATI V. BISLIOP OF EXETER.

(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)
Sir FITZROY KELLY ..'l"siCi he attended bonore their
Lordships:, in consequence of what had transpired in the
morning, for the purpose of stating that he was ear-
nestly de,irous on personal reasons, with which his
Learned Friends were all well acquainted, that this
case should be heard at the sittings after the present
term, and that it should not be postponed uatil next
Michaelmas term. Ea did not entertain any doubt that
the proceedings of the court were perfectly regular, bat
if there should be any question as to the meaning, of
Act of Parliament under which sittings were held. after
term, he was quite rcaly to enter at once
into any undertaking which would bind the
right reverend person .for whom he appeared
not to take any steps fur prolonging the decision of the
case. If the Court thought such an undert:king Recce-
sa,y, it might be made to form p.trt of the rule.
The CHIEF BARON—I think there is no occasion
anything of the kind. There is no distinction between
this and arty other case before the Court en a motion.
It has been the invnioble habit of the Court ever since
the statute pasted, and btf2ru I had the honour of
scat en the bench, to take all pending business at the
sitting,s a‘ter t?rm; therefore there can be no necessity
to enlarge the rule, or to make any arrangement in the
way you sug,gegt.
Sir FrrznoY KELLY express,!cl himself satisfied with
the decision the Court.
A discussion then followed as to the omission of cer-
tain affidavits from the rule, which ended in the Court
directing that they should be inserted.

Mr. Commissionor Law observed that the insolvee,
on his former hearing, denied the promise to marry,
which he now admitted by the statement he had made
to Sarah James. The case would stand adjourned to
settle; and if the young woman withdrcw her oppo-
sition he might be discharged, otherwise he would re-
ceive a judgment.
The case was adjourned to the 24th July.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.

James Balls appeared in discharge of his bail before
Sir Chapman Marshall to answer a charge .of careless
driving, and thereby causing the death of Robert
William Harris, a child about three years of age.
Police-constable 348 stated, that about half-past
eight o'clock on Tuesday evening ha was on duty on
Ludgate-hill, when he heard the scream of a child,
and on looking round saw the conductor of one of the
Hackney omnibuses pulling a couple of children
from under the feet of tho horses. The defendant
was driving the omnibus, which belonged to Mr.
Barber of Hackney, up the hill, when the two chil-
dren ran directly under the horses' feet and were
knocked down. Oa being picked up they were con-
veyed on a stretcher to Mr. Ilutchinson's, a surgeon
in the neighbourhood, but before they arrived there
deceased was found to be dead.

Joseph Ebill, a gentleman residing in the Hack-
ney-road, deposed that on the evening in question he
was riding on the outside of defendant's omnibus,
which was going up Ludgate-hill at a slow pace,
about five miles an hour, when a littleboy, about eleven
or twelve years of age, carrying deceased, attempted
to cross the road immediately under the heads of the
horses. They were both knocked down and trampled
on by the • horses, but he believed they were not
touched by the wheels of the vehicle.
Huntley Harris said, he resided in Fleur-de-lis-
court, and was first-cousin to the deceased, whom he
was carrying in his arms -cross Ludgate-bill when
knocked down by the omnibus horses. The omnibus
was standing still a few minutes previous at the bot-
tom of the 'oil, and when he endeavoured to cross the
omnibus came on him unawares, knocked him d )wn,
and his cousin (deceased) out of his arms ; he felt

the foot of one oi the horses placed on his back, and
the fore wheel 'passed over his cousin's neck. He
(witness) got up as soon as he could and took de•

ceased in his arms, when a gentleman cam,4 and took
him away to the doctor's. He recollected nothing
more as he was very much frightened at the time.
Did not see deceased after he was taken from him.

Several of dtceaied'i relatives appeared to give
evidence, but nothing was elicited to support the
charge of careless driving on the part of the de-
fendant.

Sir CHAPMAN MARSHALL said, he believed that the
defendant was perfectly blameless, from the evidence
which had been adduced, the more particularly so
from his own personal knowledge of the great care
and attention displayed by the drivers of the Hack-
ney omnibuses in general. -He would therefore dis-
charge the defendant, but recommended him to be
punctual in his attendance at the inquest, in order
that the end and aim of justice might be perfectly
satisfied.

WORSHIP-STREET.

William Wick'ey, a
.povVerttd;nan, described
as a greengrocer in
.Turville-street' Bethnal-green,
was placed at the bar before Mr. Arnold, charged
with causing the death of his eisteisin-law, a young
married woman named Margaret Wilmot.
James Turpin,. a hawker, said—l was standing
with a friend in front of the bar of the Victory
public-house, in Little Nelson-street, Bethnal-green,
at eight o'clock last evening, when the prisoner came
in in the company of a woman, and both of them
appeared to be intoxicated. The deceased, Margaret
Wilmot, followed them in, and, addressing the other
woman, asked her if she knew that the prisoner was I
a married man. She had scarcely uttered the
words when the prisoner, with a threatening obser-
vation, raised his arm, and was in the act of striking
her, when I ran out to seek her husband, v. horn I
met in an adjoining street, and having been informed
on my way back that the woman had been carried
home senseless, we proceeded there together, and on
reaching the house found her lying there dead. A
policeman was standing outside, to whores I commu-
nicated what I had witnessed, and I accompanied
him to a house in a street leading out of Club-row,
where I pointed out the prisoner, who was taken into
custody.
Susan Shepherd, a married woman, residing two
doors from the public-house in question, stated—l was
very intimate with the deceased, whose sister was the
wife of the prisoner, and while conversing with her
at my own door, between seven and eight last even-
ing the prisoner passed us with a woman, who was so
much intoxicated that she fell down in the road. She
was raised up by the prisoner, who took her into the
public-house, followed by the deceased, who had seen
the two together, and directly afterwards I heard the
noise of a violent contest inside the house, and on
hastening there found the deceased, suppoLted in the
arms of two men, without either bonnet or shawl,
convulsively struggling, and being carried into the
street. I picked up the deceased's cap and shawl,
which were lying on the floor in front of the bar, and
went out to follow her, but, not seeing the deceased,
I returned home and found her sitting on- a step at
the back sloth., retching violently, and apparently very
ill. I raised her head to support her, and asked if I
should get her a cup of tea, to which she seemed
silently to, assent, and I sent my little girl to prepare
it, while I continued holding her, but almoet imme-
diately afterwards her head suddenly dropped, and she
exclaimed, in a faint voice, " (Yea dear, Mrs. Shep-
beard, what shall I do !—my eyesight is gone ?" She
then became senseless, and never spoke afterwards,
and I, having procured assistance, caused her to be
carried into her own house, where she was placed in
bed, and a surgeon in the neighbourhood was in-
stantly sent for, but upon examining her he at once
pronounced her to be dead. This morning I assisted
in undressing her, but did not, while doing so, observe
any marks of violence upon her person.
Police-constable Kimberley, of • the H division,
stated, that upon taking the prisoner into custody and
apprising him that he' was charged with maltreating
his sister-in-law, who bad .since died of the injuries
she had sustained, he made no reply, and was there-
upon conveyed to the station.

-The prisoner, who appeared very much depressed,
offered no observations in answer to the charge, and
Mr. ARNOLD ordered him to be remanded for the
completion of the evidence, but consented, in the
meantime, to accept substantial bail for his future ap-
pearance, which he fixed at the prisoner himself in
1001., and two sureties in 501. each, with twenty-
four hours' notice to inquire into their sufficiency.
