CRIMINAL COITRT.—This ray.

OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Baron Bramwell.)
TIIE ATTEMPTED MURDER BY A LUNATIC.
James Needell was placed at the bar, charged
with shooting a man named Thomas Chatterton.
It was intimated to the Court that the prisoner
was not in a position to plead. He was put back
in order that a preliminary examination of the

state of his mind might be made.

THE ALLEGED CHARGE OF FENIANISM.
Maurice Lyttleton, Florence Macarthy, and
James Richardson, were placed in the dock, and
arraigned on a charge of traitorously endeavouring
to deprive her Majesty of the style, honour, and

name of th.-3 Imperial Crown of the United King-
dom ; and also with feloniously admidstering
treasonable, oath to take. up arms in the Fenian

cause to Thomas Boutell.

The prisoners pleaded not guilty, and they were
.hen removed.

CHARGE OF ATTEMPTING TO MURDER.
James Clancy was indicted for shoJting Police-
sergeant Chown and Constable Chamberlayne with

utent to murder.

➢lr. Giffard, appeared for the prosecution,

and Mr. Ribton defended the prisoner.
It will be recollected, from the full report of the
examination of the prisoner which appeared i❑ The
Sun during the first examination of the prisoner at
Bow-street police court, before Sir Thomas Henry,
that Chown, having some suspicion of the prisoner,

he, in company with Chamberlayne, watched the
house in which the prisoner resided in Sidmouth-

street, Grays-inn-road, on the 18th of January,
aid, on seeing him leave, both the officers followed
him to the corner of Bedford-square, and Chown
went up to him and spoke to him, when the priso-
ner drew a revolver, and, after deliberately taking
aim, discharged the piece at him, and then ran away.
Chamberlayne then followed him, when he again
fired the plzwl at him. A coachman namerl Hurst
stopped the prisoner ac WAZ rumiing, but at the
moment he was not enabled to secure him. A
struggle took place, when Chamberlayne came up,
and whilst he was endeavouring to take the pistol
from the prisoner the pistol was again discharged.
This time Chamberlayne had a narrow escape, as
his whiskers were singed by the fire from the pistol,
and some grains of gunpowder were afterwards dis.
covered in the constable's hair.
The above facts having been proved in evidence,
and also that he was a deserter from the 35th com-

parry of the Royal Engineers,
Mr. Ribton, in addressing the jury for the pri-
soner, said he presumed, after hearing the evidence
that had been alduced—the charge against the pri-
soner being that of shooting, wi th intent to murder—
they would be of opinion that it had altogether
failed to prove the case, but if they were
of opinion that the prisoner fired the
pistol in resisting his lawful apprehension there
could be no doubt about that, and he could not
struggle against a conviction. He could not sit
down without making a few observations, and he
might, in the first instance, ask them whether they
reasonably believed that there was a settled convic-
tion in the mind of the prisoner to murder Chown,
because if they were not of that opinion they could
not find him guilty of the first indictment. There
was also an entire absence of all motive for his
attempting to murder Chown ; an 1 with regard to
the prisoner carrying a revolver with him,
the prisoner was the only person who could
give a satisfactory account. The present were very
troublous times, and it might be that he carried it
for his own protection, and from the fact that he
saw the two constables in plain clothes watching
him, he might have thought that they were intent
upon doing him some personal injury, and therefore
he fired the pistol for the purpose of preventing him
following him any further. had the prisoner hit
the constable, that, as the learned Judge would tell
them, was murder, but if they had not a settled
conviction that he had a decided intention of carry-
ing out a design which he had in his mind of
killing Chown when he discharged the pistol
they could not find him guilty of murder.
The shot fired at Chamberlayne he (Mr. Rib-
ton) also urged upon them, was fired with
the same intention of deterring him from following
him any further. With regard to the third shot there
appeared to be much doubt. Hurst, one of the
witnesses, said it was fired at him ; whilst another
witness, Davis, said he was present at the time, and
he saw the pistol, and the barrel of the weapon was
theu.pointing in the air, so the fair inference was
that the pistolhad gone off by accident, and not by
design. Chamberlayne himself said he caught bold
of the revolver and then it went off, so taking that
with the account given by Davis it perfectly coin-
cided. lle did not think it would be safe for the
jury to speculate as to the motive which induced
the prisoner to carry the revolver, but he hoped,

under the circumstances, they would take a merciful
view of the transaction and find the prisoner guilty
of the second indictment.

The learned Judge said the prisoner was now
before the jury charged with shooting at Chown
only, and that they were only now inquiring into
his case. The indictment against him was that he
intended to kill the constable, and also with resist-
ing his lawful apprehension, and it remained for
them to say of which of those charges he was guilty
and under the present law they could not find the
prisoner guilty of the attempt to murder without
they were sure that the intent to do so was present
in his mind when the pistol was discharged. It was
quite clear that the learned counsel could not
struggle against a conviction for the minor offence,
but that matter did not rest with the judge or the
counsel—it was entirely a question for the jury.
That was the law of the land. There was no
doubt that the prisoner was a deserter from
the Royal Engineers, and there was also
no doubt that the prisoner fired at the
officer after they had told him they were about to
take him into custody for being a deserter, and they
must judge what his purpose was when he commit-
ted the act.
The jury returned a verdict of guilty of shooting
at Chown, and with resisting his lawful apprehen-
sion.

Baron Bramwell said the jury having found the
prisoner guilty, it became his duty to pass upon
him the sentence of the law, and not of his. The
law said that a person committing such an offence
as that of which the prisoner had been found guilty
should be liable to penal servitude for life. The
jury had not found the prisoner guilty of shooting
with intent to murder, but the case was as bad a
one as could well be, and the Legislature had told
him (the learned Judge) what to do, and h
therefore sentenced him to penal servitude for life.
The learned Judge directed a reward of £lO to
be paid to each of the two constables, Chown
and Chamberlain, and also to Hurst.
TIIE DEPTFORD FENIANS.

Maurice Lyttleton, Florence M'Carthy, and
James Richardson were then placed at the bar to
take their trial for high treason.
Mr. Poland stated the case against the prisoners,
and said he desired the jury to treat the matter as
the mischievous act of ignorant men, rather than to
invest it with the importance of a State prosecution
for high treason.
James Boutell was the first witness examined.
He repeated at length the evidence he gave at the
Greenwich Police-court, which, shortly summa-
rised, amounted to the fact that he met the pri-
soners Lyttleton and O'Leary on the 18th of
January, near the King William the Fourth, a
public-house at Deptford, where Dan O'Leary told
him he was a head-centre of the Fenians, and Lyt-
tleton was a corporal under him. lle then detailed
the persuasion on the part of O'Leary and Lyttleton
to induce him to take the Fenian oath, his refusal
to do so, and his communication of the whole matter
to the police.
The witness was cross-examined by Mr. Willes,
but he adhered to his version of the transaction, and
also to the evidence he bad given relative to all the
prisoners being present when O'Leary took the
oath, and when he (witness) declined to kiss the
Testament which had been placed in his hands.
Mr. Baron Bramwell—l may ask you this ques-
tion- ---You disapproved of Fenianigra ?

~•.:a`•:

Witness—Yes, my lord.
Mr. Baron Bramwell—Then you never have been
a Fenian ?

Witness—No, sir : no more than you have.
(Laughter.)
Mr. Seale, the landlord of the King William the
Fourth, Samuel Ling, the detective who arrested
Lyttleton, and the other police-constables concerned
in the case having repeated their former evidence,
Mr. Willis addressed the jury for the prisoners.
The learned Judge having summed up the case,
The jury retired, but had not returned their ver-
dict when we went to press.

I 1 ELAND.

DUBLIN, Feb. 25.

The house of Mr. Newenham, a magistrate at
Douglas, two miles from Cork, was attacked last
night by five armed men. Two were disguised.
They demanded arms. Mr. .Newenham, who Wa§
in the drawing-room, pretending compliance, went
to the bed-room, locked himself in, and going to
the window with a double-barrelled gun, fired at a
man outside. The Feuians returned the fire,
striking the window. Mr. Neweuham again fired,
but without effect. The hou,ekeper rushed into the
hall exclaiming "Police !" and the ruffians then ran
off.

At Longford Assizes to-day eight prisoners were
convicted of riot and assaulting the Rev. Mr.
Campbell, a Wesleyan minister, while passing
through the town in July last, and sentenced to
terms of imprisonment from one to nine months
each.

At the Lord Mayor's banquet this evening
the Lord-Lieutenant, responding to the toast
" Prosperity of Ireland," took an encouraging
view of its condition. He held out hopes of a better
railway system, as the result of the Commission
showed a decrease of 19,000 in emigration last
year, and an expected further decrease this year.
lie referred to the disturbances in Cork as excep-
tional, and believed three-fourths of the country
zvuud. lie roinsrltnd that thA English people were
disposed to discriminate between the perpetrators of
outrages and the Irish people, and to consider their
grievances, and sympathise as far as possible. lie
noticed the progress of Dublin. Its tonnage had
increased from 880,000 hi 1857 to 1,436,000 in
1867, and the revenue from £26,000 to .E 44.000.

He also intimated the desire of the Government to
give more liberal and special encouragement to the
Irish.

MISS BATEMAN AS "LEAH."

(From the Scotsman.)
Miss Bateman appeared in Edinburgh a number
of years ago as a child-actress, in company with a
sister of equally tender years ; and the two little
creatures acted marvellously well, not mechani-
cally, as infant prodigies for the most part do,
but with evident inborn love of the art and true
genius for the stage. She now returns a young
lady of established metropolitan and American
reputation, the promise of her childhood borne
out by the performance of her maturer years. In
the one part, at least, by which she has made her
present fame, she exhibits the attributes of a
genuinely tragic actress—her Leah being unques-
tionably a personation of no common order. If it
does not rise to the highest pitch of tragedy, or
sound the profoundest depths of pathos, it is from
no fault in Miss Bateman's conception of the require-
ments of her art, but rather from the limit set by
her natural capacities, and the shallow style of the
character and the piece. Iler physical power is
rather intense than abundant; but she has great
force of concentration and will, and throws herself
into the feeling of the part with all the abandon-
ment of genius. Her figure is rather petite than
commanding; but she is both graceful and forcible
in action, has considerable power of expression,
being gifted especially with an eloquent eye ; and
has a clear, full, and well-trained voice.
