report, which is too lengthy for publication
During the past year no claims have arisen froMileaths In England,
and but two in Ireland—one for 560/. and the other:for 200/.—making
together 7001., which have been paid. This Is far below the expected
mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how
severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last
year.

The number of lives assured between the Ist of June, 1349, and
the 31st of May,,1850, was more than double the number issued in
the twelve months preceding,
Proposals were made for 133 Policies, amounting to 52,9631.25. Gd.:
of these 121, comprising 106 lives, were accepted°for 45,1251. Gs.
Sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481., Upon vtlfich"32ol. 3::
was received by the Company In the shape of premiums.
Since the commencement of the Company to the Ist of June last,
assurances were effected to the extent of 110,9721. 12$. 6d., pro-
ducing in annual premiums 3,7321. 1 Is. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed,
amounting to 23,9501. 16s. Gd., of which the annual premiums were
7411. is., leaving the yearly income on the Ist of June last equal to

Since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001.,
but 1,1831. 11e. 10d. only was advanced.
The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the
last four months they had considerably extended their business on
the Continent, having appointed, as Head Ageht in France, Monsieur
de l'Etaug, a gentleman of high standing in Paris, distinguished for
his integrity and ability in finaneial and in all assurance matters,
who, under the sanction and patronage of the Archbishop of Paris,
the Cardinal Archbishop of Lyons,
and Monseigneur Parisis, Evequc
de Langres, has already within the last three months effected a con-
siderable amount of business, not only in Life Assurances, but in An-
nuities both Immediate and Deferred.
After various resolutions, approving of the Report, and returning
thanks to the Right Reverend Chairman, Bishop Morris, the .Vice=
Chairman, Actuary, Secretary, and Medical Officers of the establish-
ment, the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present results
and future prospects.

he alone. The next time she came she said she had had
I a great deal of trouble; that mine was a very difficult
plUnet to rule—(Laughter)—that she should be as glad
to get it done as I should; but she could not without
more money or money's worth. I told her I had given
her everything I had. She said, "If you have not more
of your own you can get it. I know as well as you your-
self whether you can get it or not." I said I cauld not.
She said, "You can get a dress of Mrs. Jealfreson's,
which I will bring back." I said; "I will not touch a
thing belonging to my mistress." She said, "You can
get a shirt of Dr. ,Jeaffreson's, for you need not be afraid
but that I shall bring it back, for I have everything of
yours done up in a bundle at home, and I shall bring
them all back." She added, "1 hnow you can get it,
and I must have it; you need not be afraid 15fMtr1
have children of my own, and I would not mislead you;
I have more of other peoples' clothes than I have of
yours; and I am very particular in keeping everything
right to bring it back." She persuaded me, and I gave
her a night-shirt of Dr. Jeaffreson's; it was not marked,
but I told her it was the Doctor's. Next time I gave
her another right-shirt of Dr. Jeuffreson'a. On the.
next day she had a pair of sheets of my master's; I told
her they were his; and they were also marked. The
next time she came I gave her two linen shirts, which
were marked, and which I told her were his. The next
time a gold chain, a vinaigrette, a locket, a ring, and a
key, all of which I told her were Mrs. Jeaffreson's. She
told me that she did not want the things for herself, that
she had plenty of money of her own, and if that would
do she need not trouble me, but that it would not do.
She only wished it would; but to rule my planet she
must have either money or money's worth from me. I
wanted to get the chain back, but she said that she had
better have too much than too little, and then it would
be ended, and that if she had not enough she should have
to come again. So I let her keep all, and she promised
to bring all back the same night at six o'clock, but she
never came again. That was on the 16th of July. I
then told the footman, for the purpose of his giving in-
formation to the police. I was myself committed by the
ma-istrates upon the charge of stealing the property;
but °1
have been out on bail.
This witness, whose appearance was rather prepos-
sessing, exhibited in the witness-box some simplicity of
manner, but certainly no want of ordinary intelligence.
Another female servant of Dr. Jeaffreson'a had been in-
vited by the prisoner Cooper to have " her planet ruled,"
but she declined.
Mr. WeaamonE—She preferred having an unruly
planet.--(Laugh ter.)
Other witnesses traced different portions of the pro-
perty taken into the possession of the male prisoners, one
of whom, William Hill, appeared to have been living
with Cooper as man and wife.
When the prisoners were called upon for their defence,
Cooper reiterated the assertion which she had made in
cross examining the girl Strange, namely, that the pro-
perty was given to her by Strange as hor own, and that
she did not know that it belonged to her master. The
male prisoners denied all knowledge that the articles
were stolen.
The Learned JUDGE, in summing up, told the jury
that the prisoner Cooper was in point of law guilty of
larceny, if at the time when she made the representa-
tions which induced the witness Strange to part with
the property she intended to appropriate them to her
own use.

The jury found the prisoners Guilty, and they were
sentenced to two years' imprisonment.
Warwick, Aug. 6.
(Before Lord Chief Justice JERVIS and a Common Jury.)
PELL V. COLICIL
This was an action .on a promissory-note for 3001. by
the eadorsee against the endorser, and on a bill of ex-
change for 2001. by the endorsee against the acceptor.
The defendant had pleaded several pleas, but those upon
which the questions in the case turned were a denial of
the endorsement of the note, and a denial of tho accept-
ance of tho bill.
Mr. Humfrey, Q.C., Mr. Macaulay, Q.C., and Mr.
Mellor, were counsel for the plaintiff; Mr. Whitehuret;
Q.C., and Mr. Denison, for the defendant.
The plaintiff is a farmer and grazier near Market
Harborough, and the defendant hal been engaged with
the plaintiff's son in mining speculations in Wales. The
one had been manager and the other purser of a mining
company called the Abergwessin Silver Load Mining
Company, but the plaintiff's son ceased to be purser in
December, 1847, and was now out of the country; and the
defendant was dismissed in September, 1849. The maker
of the promissory-note was a Mr. Hungerford, of
Dingley Park, near Market Harborough, who took 50
shares in the company in September, 1846, and paid for
them by the note in question, which he dishonoured, and
which the plaintiff had cashed. Messrs: Couch and
Pell were the payees of that note, and it seemed clear
that whether the endorsement was written by Conch, the
defendant, or his partner in the mining speculations,
there was sufficient evidence of authority to bind the
defendant. The bill of exchange was dated in June,
1847, and was said to have been given to the plaintiff to
secure further advances made by him to his sou and the
defendant, but the defendant denied that he had accepted
that bill at all. Two witnesses expressed their belief
that it was his handwriting, and four that it was not;
but there were other documents in evidence in the cause,
which were admitted to have been written by the de-
fendant.
The Learned JUDGE told the jury to look at those do-
cuments and endeavour to satisfy themselves on the
question of handwriting.
The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages,
5751.
Eight other causes have been. disposed of, but none of
them have presented any features of generul interest.
August 7.
CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron PLATT.)
Benjamin Siviter, aged 33, was indicted for having, on
the Ist of June last, at Birmingham, unlawfully taken
one Sarah Upton out of the possession and against the
will of John Upton, her father, she, the said Sarah
Upton, being an unmarried girl under the age of 16.
Mr. O'Brien appeared on the part of the prisoner.
The prosecution was not copducted by counsel.
Sarah Upton, a girl of the age of 15, was the principal
witness, and made the following extraordinary state-
ment:—The prisoner was a Sunday-school teacher at
Birmingham, and the witness had been a scholar in his
Bible class. The father of the witness was a tailor living
at Birmingham, and the prisoner was also by trade a
tailor; and after the girl had left the Sunday-school the
prisoner, at the request of the father, came to his house
to teach the witness and a younger sister reading and
writing. That was about six months ago. During the
intercourse thus originated a very strange sort of inti-
macy had sprung up between the prisoner and his pupil.
Ho had made her numerous presents, including a fur
boa, a lace fall, some ornamental cards with verses on
them, and a lock of his hair. She had frequently met him
and walked with him alone, and had gone several times
with another girl of about the same age, named Sarah
Cartwright, to fetch the prisoner away from public. houses.
Just before Saturday, the Ist of June, the girl Sarah
Upton had written a letter to the prisoner, which fell into
his wife's hands; and on the afternoon of that day be met
the girl, and sent her to the school-room to fetch her
copybook, in order that his wife might not have the op,
portuuity of " matching the writing," After meeting
him in the streets, about eight o'clock that evening, she
went to the house of Sarah Cartwright's aunt, and
stayed there tilt past ten. She and Sarah Cartwright
then went out again, and about half-past ten met with
the prisoner. They walked about till eleven o'clock;
the prisoner and Sarah Cartwright asked her to go
home, but she said she was afraid to go home, as her
father would beat her. According to her statement, the
prisoner said to hor, " You will be happy where I am;
and I will stick to you like bricks." Sarah Cartwright
left them, and they went away together. They walked
on out of Birmingham, and first went to Smethwick.
They called at several places for refreshment, they tra-
velled on all that night and the next day. They went
to Hagley and Bourne-heath, where they were at eight
o'clock on Monday morning. The prisoner there said
to the girl that he would rob somebody, and she being
afraid that he would, and that they might both be
taken into custody, asked him to take a room and get
work out. However, they want on to Bellbroughton,
to the Clout Hills, and to Stourbridge. Once the pri-
soner asked her if she would drown hersdf, and she
said she would not. Near Stourbridge, on the Tues-
day morning, about two o'clock, they found a cottage
open and they went in. The people said it was too
late for them to go on the road that night, and they
might stay there. The witness slept with the cottager's
wife, and the prisoner sat up, Afterwards they began
to return towards Birmingham ; they walked all the
next night; and on the following day the girl. was found
by her father in the streets of Birmingham, about a
quarter of a mile from his own house. Once during
that journey an illicit intercourse took place between
prisoner and the girl by the Smethwick Canal.
Sarah Cartwright stated, that on the Saturday night
both she and the prisoner several times begged Sarah
Upton to go home; that she said ahe was afraid; but
that at last she would go home if the prisoner would go
with her; that the prisoner said be would, and that
when the witness left them they were going iu the di-
rection, of Mr. Upton's house.
Mr. O'BnIEN addressed the jury; and
The Learned JUDGE, in summing up told the jury that
if they thought that the prisener, even in concert with
the girl herself, was a party to the removal of her from
the parental control, he might be convicted of the offence
with which be was charged,
The jury found the prisoner Guilty.
The Learned JUDGE, in passing upon him the sen-
tence of 12 months imprisonment, expressed his regret
that the law did not enable him to inflict a punishment
adequate to the enormity of the offence, for it was too
clear that the prisoner, whilst engaged iu the task of
expounding the Scripture to the witness, had availed
himself of the opportunity to corrupt her mind by atten-
tions and conduct which, in his situation, could not fail
to excite horror and detestation.

bodily harm. .
Mr. W. C. Rowe and Mr. Karslake were counsel
for the prosecution; Mr. Slade and Mr. Cox for the
defence.
Mr. Slade put in a written document of some length,
as a plea of autrefoia acquit, which was read by the Clerk
of arraigns.
Mr. RowE proposed to traverse in this way—that de-
fendants were not acquitted of the murder and felony,
including the same identical assaults.
Mr. SLADE objected, because his friend attempted to
raise by his replication two distinct matters—one a
matter of law and one a matter of fact, which ho con-
tended he had no rikht to do.
After a short conversation it was arranged that the
replication should stand thus—that the defendants were
not acquitted of the felony, including the same identical
assaults, ill-treating, beatieg, and wounding, to which
they had now pleaded.
The jury were
.sworn to try this issue between the
Crown and the defendants.
Mr. SLADE addressed them first, as it lay with him to
prove the affirmative. The only evidence he proposed tO
put in was the record of the previous trial, which set
forth the indictment. The indictment sot forth a series
of assaults, and it would be for his Learned Friends to
show if there were any other assaults which they could
charge against the prisoner. They would see by that
record that the same assaults were, charged, almost in the
same words, as committed on Mary Ann Parsons. Thera
would thus-be a prima facie case in favour of the plea,
which, it unanswered would entitle the prisoners to an
acquittal at their hands.
The JUDGE—That is your case on the part of the
prisoners?
Mr. SLADE bowed assent.
His LORDSHIP had the heads of the previous indict-
ment read over.
Mr. ROWS submitted 'that the affirmative issue was
upon his Learned Friend to prove that the assault of
which the prisoners had been acquitted were the same as
now charged, and that they had thereby been in peril,
and of that.they had no evidence. - The charge in the
indictment was not of a common assault, but of attempt
to commit a capital offence ; and not only was there no
offence charged as an assault- in any of the six counts,
but the assault on the face of the present Bill was of a
different character.
His LORDSHIP, after hearing lengthened arguments on
both sides, said the matter in issue is, that the defendants
were not acquitted of a felony and murder, including
the same distinct ill-treatings and woundings, as in, the
present indictment. The question is, is the mere putting
in of the former record sufficient evidence for the jury
to find upon the issue? All that can be inferred is, that
certain assaults were charged similar in nature to those
charged in the present indictment, and charged in the
former indictment as preceding the death of Parsons.
Now, the question I ani called on to decide is, is that
sufficient evidence upon which the jury may act? lam
clearly of opinion that the evidence is not such as the
jury ought to act upon to find that these offences are
identical. On the authority of " King v. Gutteridge,"
the prisoners could only be found guilty of an assault
involved in and connected with the felony charged in the
indictment. In the case of the " Queen v. Phelps" (2
Moody and Williams, 217 and 240), precisely the same
dietrine is laid down. Now that which was prosecuted
in the former case was the murder of Mary Ann Parsons.
Assuming that the jury were satisfied that the assault
charged now was part of the charge, then, unless the
defendants could go much further, and show that it con-
duced to the death, it will be my duty to tell the jury
that these arc not the offences for which the prisoners
have been previously in peril.
Mr. SLADE asked to have the point reserved.
To show that these assaults were all rut in evidence at
the late trial,
Mr. SLADE called

Mr. J. H. Dennison —I was present at the trial of
Bird a❑d` his wife for the murder of Mary Anne Par-
sons. I took notes of the trial. Ido not know what has
become of them. I have no idea whether they have been
destroyed or not. The witness said he could not recol-

lect the opening speech of Mr. Rowe, whether he refer-
red the death of deceased to a series of beating and ill
trvament or not.
In answer to Mr. RowE, he said he heard Mr. Turner,
the medical man, de:crib° the state of the body, both
internallyiand externally, and refer the cause of death
to a blow or blows upon the head. The Learned Judge
directed the jury that there was no evidence to prove
which of the prisoners struck that blow, nor any evi-
dence to go to the jury upon the question of assault.
The witness remembered that the Judge addressed the
jury for a short time, and told them they must acquit the
prisoners.
_ _

Mr. Cox was called, and he stated that, from recollec-
tion, as well as from his notes, the case of the
Cr3wn, as presented to the jury on the last occasion,
was that death had ensued from a series of ill treat-
ment.

To save time, it was arranged that his Lordship
should read tho evidence of Hopper, Morris, and Johns,
from Mr. JuEtioe Talfourd's notes.
In reply to Mr. SLADE, Mr. Cox said the assaults were
put forward prominently as producing the death, and it
was only at the last moment that it came out that the
blow in the head was the immediate cause of death. It
was thought that the beatings were relied upon. When
Mr. Justice Talfourd was stopping the case, he thought
the blears spoken of by the witnesses were the causo of
death until the medical evidence showed the contrary.
On the suggestion of the Learned JUDGE, Mr. Justice
Talfourd's note was read, to the effect that finding there
was no evidence as to any blow en the herd having been
given by either of the prisoners, he felt bound to direct
an acquittal.

To carry the case of identity of the offence further, it
was stated that the witnesses to this charge were the
same as on the previous indictment.
Mr. Row considered he was bound to give every ma-
terial which could assist the jury in arriving at a right
judgment. He, therefore, called medical evidence to
prove that the assaults were not conducive to the death.
Charles Colwell Turner—l am a surgeon, living at
Bideford, About the 6th of January last I went
to Gorland Farm, the residence of the two de-
fendant', and examined the body cf Mary Ann
Parsons. I observed a great number of wounds
on the legs and thighs, varying in extent and
character ; also on the hips, the arms, the shoulders, and
the head. Un the extern 4 part of the head there was
an extensive bruise on the left side; and internally on
the back part, au extensive bruise, and a considerable
quantity of extravasated blood; the membranes of the
brain were congested, and at the base was extravasation
of blood. I consider the cause of death was in the in-
.

juries of the head. There was nothing in the :the;•vital
parts of the body to account fdr death. I cannot say
whether death would have resulted from the other in-
juries if life had not been destroyed by the blow on the
head.

Cross-examined—l found this child's body very much
emaciated, and the powers of life very much reduced.
There was no fracture of the skull. The wounds on the
body generally might have produced incipient conges-
tion of the brain, but not one injury individually.
By his LORDSHIP—I have no doubt that, in tbis in-
stance, the blow ou the head caused death.
Mr.Edye, surgeon, of Exeter, was called to corrobo-
rate Mr. Turner. He concurred iu that gentleman's
views as to the cause of death, and that the blows on the
body were not conducive to that cause.

Air. Rowe left the matter in his Lordship's hands
without observation.

Mr. SLADE addressed the jury on the issue, whether
the assaults conduced to the death of Mary Ann
Parsons. '

His Lonnsuir having bummed up,
The jury, after consulting nearly nu hour, found the
;sue for the Crown.

The Court then rose at seven o'clock.
Tuesday, Aug, G.
At ten o'clock Mr. R. Gurney took his seat, and im-
mediately said that be had considered the application of
Mr. Slade as to reserving the pcint decided yesterday,
and would assent to this course, but 114: would not admit
the defendants to bail.

Mr. RowE then said he should not offer any evidence
until the decision of the Judges had been obtained.
His LORDSHIP observed that the imprisonment would
no doubt be taken into consideration should the prisoner
be convicted.

The prizcn.ra were then removed in custody, and
this being the last criminal ease, the Court rose at about
a quarter before eleven.
