ably- fine contrast of light and shade, and cheerful scenery from the
house. The game preserves are considered almost unequalled. A
very large outlay having been lately made en the house, offices, gar-
dens, and grounds, every part is in the highest order. and altogether

advan-
tage of a fine opening to the sea, s,

dual approach of railway communication render them a very desir-
able and most safe investment. The parish churches of Avoch,

This cane, an alleged infrinftment of an im-
proved triode of manufacturing silk plush, was re-
sumed this morning, and terminated in a verdict for
the defendants, upon the ground that the invention
was not novel.

HOLT V. FLEMING..—•CRIM CON.
This was on action for criminal conversation. with
the plaintiff's wife. The court was mt.ch crowded.
On the jury being sworn,
Mr. Attorney• General KNOWLES, who was for the
defendant, rose and said—My Lord, in this case an
action for criminal conversation, that there may be no
public scandal, I have offered my Learned Friend a
certain sum for damages, and he has accepted it.
Mr. MARTIN said be had only to say on behalf of
the plaintiff, that he was exceedingly unwilling that
his wife's family should have the annoyance of a
public investigation. He had therefore consented
to the proposal made by Mr. Attorney-General
Knowles.

:11.WIN V. ROSE.—BRBACII OF PROMISE or MARRIAGE•

Tois.was a special jury case. It was an action for
breach of promise of marriage brought against a me-
dical gentleman well known in Liverpool. The jurors
had been summoned for that morning, but on the con-
clusion of the patent case, they were told that they
would not he required.
Thus wire the lovers of scandal and gossip des-
tined to a double disappointment.
An action for false imprisonment occupied the
Court the remainder of the day.
CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice WiGur-
- atAN.) -
.Robert Lees was charged with the Manslaughter of
an infant, named Rizabeth C:)rrie, by negligently
and unskilfully administering to her an overdose of
laudanum.
Mr. Blair prosecuted; the prisoner was unde-
fended. _ _

It appeared that on Sunday, the 4th of August,
las , the wife of John Corrie, who lives in North-
street, Liverpool. went with ano'her woman to a
public-house in Dale-street, for a glass of ale, carry-
ing with her her infant, which was seven months
old. There she saw the prisoner, who observed to
her that her child was not well. She said it had
been suffering for some days from a bowel com-
plaint, and the prisoner then said he would give her
a prescription fur the child, which would relieve it, if
she liked. She assented to this-, and, the prisoner dic-
tated a prescription, which a young woman present
wrote down, "3 oz. of chalk, loz. of gum arabic, and
2 drachms of ►audanumn.
,Two teaspoonstul to be given
as a dose." This Mrs. Corrie got made up at a
druggist's shop, and administered one dose to the
child, which, according to the evidence of the me-
dical witnesses, would contain fourteen drops of
laudanum. The result was that the child became
drowsy and died eight days afterwards. In the
opinion of the surgeon who made the post mortem
examination of the child, it had died from the effects
of a narcotic poison.
Toe prisoner in defence alleged that he had never
told Mrs. Conic to put laudanum in the prescription,
but " rhea," that he had no intention to injure the
child, and that he had di,pensed medicine for' twelve
years and had never committed a mistake.

- -
His LORIMUIP, i❑ summing tip, said the prisoner
appeared only to nave acted from motives of kindness;
but if they were of opinion that he had acted with
negligence, wane of ',kill, presumption, and igno- •
ranee, they ought to find him guilty. The child had
also died at a longer than the ordinary period after
the administration of a narcotic poison, and it was
therefore for them to consider whether or no the dose
administered to it had caused its death.
The jury found the prisoner NOt Guilty.
Thomas Sexsmith was indicted with two men named
Lever and Green/or having, on the 18th of April
last, discharged a loaded gun at John Wainwright
and Richard Redhead with intent•to murder or to do
some grievous bodily harm.
Mr. Monk appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. Pol-
lock defended Sexsmith; and Mr. James the other
prisoners.
It appeared that Wainwright and Redhead, the two
prosecutors are gamekeepers to the E ►rl of Ihrby,
and on the night of the 18th of April last they were
out with another keeper near Stockbridge-lane,
watching for poachers. Whilst there a pheasant flaw
out of a plantation near them, and immediately after-
wards they met Sexsmith, armed with a gun, and fol.
lowed by a dog, and three or four other men armed
with' sticks. Wainwright stopped Sexsmith, when
immediately there was a cry raised of " Go into him ;
shoot him." Sexsmith immediately levelled his gun
at Redhead, and fired, cutting a hole through his hat,
but doing h'm no further injury. Sexsmith was im-
mediately seized hold of, the othet men escaping.
Toere befog no evidence, fixing the identity of
Lever and Green, they were acquitted by direction
of his Lordship.
Mr. POLLOCK then, addressing the jury on behalf
of Sexsmith, contended that if he had intended to
murder or do Redhead any bodily harm, there was
nothing to have prevented him shooting him dead;
htv that the guu had evidently nut been pointed at
him.

The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and he was
sentenced to be tranPported for seven years.
It is expected that the criminal business of the
assize will tcrrninnte to-morrow.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
OLD COURT.
(B: fore the Costmosi-SERGEANT.)
William Cooke, the lir, secutor in
the case which
eared in our Af ternocn Edition of yesterday, was
charged with assaulting, Robert Hitchcock, one of the
defendants who bad just been acquitted.
In this case the prosecutor and the four other men
app
included with him in the former indictment were
examined es witnesses, and according to their evidence
Graham, the broker, went to the house on the day
in question for the purpose of levying the distress,

taken place on a farmer occasion, be took Banks,

provocation threw two bricks at Hitchcock,. and he
was knocked down; and after this the defendant took
up a bill-hook and threatened to cut them With it, at
the same time using very bad language, if they did
not leave the place. The bill-hook was taken from
him, and the witnesses stated that the defendant then
took up a large hedge stake and struck Hitchcock a
violent blow with it ; and Harris said that'the defend-
ant also struck him with the stick and broke one of
his little fingers.

Mr. PARRY, for the defence, endeavoured to show
that the distress had not been legally carried out, and
that the defendant had used no more violence than was
necessary to expel persons who, he contended, stood
in the position of trespassers.
The defendant received a very good character for
quiet and general good conduct.
The jury returned a verdict of Guilty; and
, and the latter
The. COMMON-SERGEANT said he would consider
what sentence ought to htepronounced.
Charles Pound and William Langford Jenkins, two
veryper youngsostsofremspaeoc,tasoblrerenadpepr
appearance, atno take take their trial
ce a
for a misdemeanour in having unlawfully obtained 'a
large sum of money from William Newman by false
pretences.
Mr. Ballantine and Mr. Huddleston conducted the
prosecution ; Mr. E. Jame', Q•Ce and Mr. Parry,
defended Jenkins, and Mr. Clarkson appeared for the
other defendant.
William Newman, the prosecutor, deposed that he
was a colour manufacturer in Chart-street, Buxton. '
At the latter end of last December the defendant
Pound came to his house, accompanied by witness's
nephew, a person named Try, and he believed he
acted as his solicitor, and he was introduced to him
in that capacity. Upon this occasion Pound produced
a bill of exchange for 451.95., which appeared to be
accepted by the other defendant, and asked witness to
discount it. He asked who Mr. Jenkins was, and
the defendant replied that he would. soon show him
who he was ; and he pulled a paper out of his' pocket
which he said was an extract from the
,will of Mr.
Jenkins's father, and which he had himself obtained
from Doctors'-Commons, and he at the same time
stated that Mr. Jenkins had been one of the largest
ironmasters in existence, and be read from the will a
statement to the effect that his son, IVIP. Langford
Jenkins, was to receive 20,0001. absulutelyupon the sth
of April, 1850, when he would come of age. Upon
the faith of this representation, witness cashed the
bill, deducting five per cent. for interest, and shortly
after this he went to No. 7, Stockwell-common,
where he saw both the defendants, and Pound intro-
duced the other to him as " the rich young gem.,,,
and he at the same time said tleit he. had been articled
lo an attorney, but, es he was corning into this large
property, he very seldom atter del his office, About
the 10th of January Jenkins called upon Mtn and

"' - l

wanted him to edvance 10/.or-121., and he tbene‘peke
to him about hi§ expect ition of the 20,000/.,. and he
said it was true, and that he should receive the
amount at the time mentioned. After this Jenkins
accepted a bill for 2001, and witness gave him 1001.
in cash and made up the pipount by some of his own
tradesmen's bills, which were paid when they arrived
at maturity. There were Other money and.bill trans-
actions between them, and witness eventually be-
came responsible to the 'amount of 780/. During
these proceedings the defendant Pound upon one
oc-
casion told him that when Jenkins obtained his for-
tune they intended to' set up as solicitors iripartner-
ship, and that' he should get him passed fur that
purpoie.
Cross-examined by Mr. JAMES—Iie was not a bill
discounter, and was not in the habit of discounting
bills. Ceuld not say exactly when he first saw Jen-
kins, but thought it was in the beginning of January.
Di I not know that he was not of age till April,lBso,
until he,diseovered that the bills he had given were of
no value. Witness's son kept his accounts, and he
drew some of the bills. He was not of age at the
rime he did so. The 1001. cash' which he gave for
the 2001. bill was made up partly of the 121. he had
advanced before, and of two bills for 50/. and 461. He
only deducted 5 per cent. for interest. After this he
got another bill for 2001. from Jenkins. For this
hill he gave him cash at different times, and also paid
bills to tradesmen for him. He mid 80/. for wine.
Was quite sure he had 20/. or 251. in each in part
payment of the amount of this bill. Witness also
gave him his own acceptance fur 1001. The value of
the bills he hid from Jenkins was altogether 7001.,
and he would smear that out of this amount more
than 120'. in cash was given to him. .Ha accom•
papied Jenkins to a coachmaker's, and purchased
a phaeton for him, for which he gave 52/. 10s.
Tois was part of the consideratidn for the
bills he had given. That phaeton was now in wit-
ness's possession. Jewellery to 'the amount of 401
was also part of the consideration. Witness's son ac-
'companied Jenkins to the jeweller's shop when the
purchase was made. Witness did not recommend
Jenkins to come and reside near him at Hoxton, but
he believed he took a house in the neighbourhood,
and witness recommended him a person to furnish it.
Was sure he did not ask the prisoner_ to put his name
to three bills for 1001. each in order to raise money
to set his son up in business, but he knew afterwards
that it had been done. He believed that his son drew
upon Jenkins. He was under age at the time, and
'ett no means of paying the bills. Witness put
his name to the bills, and a friend of his,
named Wilson, • who was a bill casher, dis-
counted' two of them, and he believed 60 or 70 per
cent. was charged for the interest. He had to pay
these two bills when they became due. Witness
kept all the money that was • the produce of the two
bills, but he had to make up the difference when they
became due. He made all the advances in conse-
quence of what Mr. Pound said about the will, and
he only discovered that the statement was false upon
subsequently going to Doctors'-commons and ex-
amining the will himself.
By Mr. CLARKSON—He was aware that Mr. Pound
had been acting for his nephew in trying to obtein
some propeety to which he considered himself entitled,
hut he did not know that the 45/. 9s. bill was for the
use of his nephew. He never paid any money to
Jenkins in the presence of Pound, but he told him of
it afterwards.

Re-examined—Witness bad no advantage from any
of the transactions with the tradesmen, and he had
never received a farthing of the money back which
he had advanced. •

John Newman, the son of the prosecutor, corrobo-
rated his evidence with regard to the original state-
ment made by Pound when the 451. 9, bill was
offered for discOunt. He also said that he was present
when Pound introduced Jenkins as "the rich young
gent.," and he at the same time said that he would be
answerable for any money or goods that might be
advanced to him, and would take care they were paid
for when he came of age. The witness also stated,
that Jenkins during the transaction told him that his
father had been so kind to him that he would allow
him to draw upon him for 3001. to set him up in
business, and he drew three bills for 1001. each ; and
his father gave Jenkins his acceptance for 3001. in
exchange.
Upon being cross-examined, the witness said this
3001. bill formed a portion of the amount of which his
father represented himself to have been defrauded,
but it had never been presented for payment. He
kept his father's accounts, and he could state that
3861. 12s. 61. had been advanced in hard cash to
Jenkins. Witness was not of age when he drew
upon Jenkins, and he knew also that he . was not of
age. He took the bills to Mr. Wilson's to be dis-
counted, but he refused to have anything to do with
them unless his father put his name to them. His
father did endorse two of the bills, and Wilson then
gave 1901. for them. Jenkins had none of the
money, but he had his father's acceptance, which was
as good as money. He had signed bills for his father
as Newman and Co., end as Newman and Son, be-
fore he was of age. He, was nut a partner, but he
understood he was to have a share of the profits of
the business. In answer to further questions; the
witness said he was now only 20 years o'd, and he
was married in Piccadilly about two years ago, but
had been separated from his wife for 16 months, and
he had not given anything towards the support of his
sslfe, and did not know bow she was supported since
they separated.
Re-examined—His wife was 19 years old when he
married her, and after the marriage he found out
something about her that was very unpleasant, and
left her in consequence. He always had the authority
of his father when he accepted bills.
The will of the father of the defendant Jenkins was

then put in, and it appeared that the personal pro-
perty was sworn under 8,0001. There was, however,
a copyhohi estate, thu value of which did not'appear,
hut the whole of the property was devised to the de-
fendant. It appeared, however, that the property had
been made the subject of a Chancery suit, which was
still going on. Evidence was likewise adduced to
show that Pound was not an attorney.
Mr. JAmas then addressed the jury for the de.
fendant Jenkins, and, in the course of a forcible and
able speech, he contended that there was not the
least evidence in the cause to show that he had been
guilty of fraud, and he contended that all the
facts tended to show that the prosecutor and hie
son, being aware that he would be entitled to property
to a considerable amount, had taken advantage of his
youth and inexperience, and having got him into
their power in the first instance, had induced him to

put his name to bills to a large amount, hoping, in
the result, to obtain possession of the whole of his
fortune, and, finding they were foiled, they now
sought to make the criminal law of the country the
means of furthering their unworthy purposes. The
Learned Counsel then called the attention of the jury
to the precise form of the charge, and contended that
there was nothing in the case to show that any false
representation had really been made, for it appeared
that the personal property of the defendant's father
amounted to 8,0001, and there was an estate which,

for ell they knew to the contrary, might beworth
more than 20,000/. The prosecutor also, he said,
might have seen -the will at any time ; and it was
perfectly clear that what he did was done with his
eyes open, and that his only object was to panic) er to
the extravagance or necessities of this young, man,
intending eventually to turn the transaction, whgn he
had got him completely into his power, to his,' own
benefit, by getting possession of the greatest portion.
of his property.
Mr. CLARKSON also addressed the jury for Bound,
particularly calling their attention to the faOt that
this defendant was not proved to have takeit any
share in the different bill transactions, or to lir& re-
ceived one farthing of the money that had beta ad-
vanced by the prosecutor.
The COMMON-SERGEANT summed.up, and
The jury, after a short deliberation, retarned'a ver-
dict of Not Guilty.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HO US 8.

CAUTION TO RAILWAY FORTERB'.—Robert Sears
was charged by a gentleman, named Abraham, with
having used language calculated to excite to a breach
of the peace.
The complainant had accompanied some ladies to
the London terminus of the Blackwell Railway;of
which the defendant. appeared. to be a porter. The
defendant was asked by the complainant to assist in
putting luggage in one of the carriages, and instead
of performing aVhat was 'considered to be his duty,
used language of the 'most revolting kind, and upon
being expostulated with, exhausted .his well-stored
vocabulary of abuse in the presence of the ladies.
The defendant upon being called upon to answer.
the serious charge, gave 'Alderman 'Gibbs a taste of
his quality by loudly asserting that " gentle•
man, as he called himself, was telling nothing but
the grossest falsehood, that the only civil and respect-.
able person present upon this occasion seas himself,
and that accordingly he ought himself to he the ac-
cuser, instead of the accused."
Alderman Ginn; (to the defendant)—iltive you gt
an witnesses to prove that vou gave no offence ?
Defendant—l was there myself, and when he ordered
me to take his luggage to the carriege, 1.t.01d him to
take it. himself. He then used the most saucy lan-
guage,
and I never said a word in reply. All I can
say,is, than a more false man never lived.
Mr. Abrahatn—lt is impossible that I could pro-
duce witnesses upon the occasion. They. are ladies,
and the situation in which placed at the time
oat, therefore, the more intolerable. A gentleman
was near us at the time, and he cried cut to me,
" Why do you not knock him down ?"

Ahiernazn Gtnns—l suppos, the defendant does
not I.Aong to the company? Defendant—No; I
am a drover. I was never so much insulted in my
life.—(Laughter.)
Alderman Gums—Defendant, you must pay the
fine of 204., or go to prison for fourteen clays. De-
fendant—What I pay 20s. ? Not a bit of it ; I'll go
to prison. I was the person as was insulted, and I
won't pay a mag.
The defendant was then taken away, and continued
to declaim against the sentence in the loudest tone
while he was within the hearing of the benCh.

Mr. Abraham said the fellow had run about the
luggage of the paggengers as if he had been an autho-
rised servant, and it was admitted by thu officers of
the company that he was occasionaiiy employed on
the line.

BOW-STREET.
THE CASE OF FOCUSSING AND RODIIERr,•••./. Cot•
ter, alias Cole, was re examined, charged with boons-
sing. and the robbery of 3001.
Mr. Peter Thwaites, a fruit salesman in Covent-
garden-market, 'said that on the'afternoon of Yridsy
week last, he entered the Mercers' Arms public
house, Mercer-street, Long-sere, and there met the
prisoner and several other persons, who were drink-
ing in front of the bar. He entered into conversation
with them, and ultimately called for some liquor for
which he paid. He had then in his possession a can-
vais bag, containing two 1001. notes, two cheques for
1001., and about 201. in gold. He afterwards called
for a bottle of wine, and he had scarcely drank a
glass of it when he became insensible, and when he
recovered he found himself very ill in bed at his re-
sidence. All his money was gone.
Other witnesses proved finding the prosecutor in
front of the bar of the Mercer's Arms, quite insensi-

nle, and with his pockets turned inside out arri all his
money gone. The prisoner was observed sitting by
he side of the prosecutor, and at female on the other
side, previous to his becoming insensible. The pri-
ooer and his companions were also seen running to
A cab, which appeared to be waiting for them, and
one said, " Ilave you trot the money ?" and another
replied, "Yes." They were pursued, but all eocaped
with the exception of the prisoner, who was appre-
hended in a house in Endell-street soon afterwarth.

Mr. Norton, a eolicitor, attended for the pro3ectx•

'ion, and s.ald since the last examination the cheques
and a portion of the money had been found by a boy
in the neighbourhood. In consequence of the pub-

iicity give; to the case through the medium of the
,lewspapers, the money and cheques were restored to
the prosecutor. The notes have not yet been found.
lie would ask the magistrate for a further remand,
as some information had been obtained by the police,
A'hich would probably lead to the recovery of the
other property, and the apprehension of the prisoner's
companions.
Remanded for a week.
PEOSECUTIONS BY THE SOCIETY FOR THE Sur-
PRESSION or VICE.— William Wynne, keeper of a
print shop, 34, Holywell-street, Strand, appeared
upon a summons, under the Vagrant Acts, at the in-
stance of the Secretary for the Suppression of Vice,
for unlawfully and wilfully causing a certain inde-
cent print to be exposed in his shop window, to
which he pleaded guilty.
The defendant, in pursuance of the advice of his
counsel, threw himself on the mercy of the Court,
and solemnly promised that the offence should not
be repeated.
Mr. HENRY having ascertained from Mr. Prichard,
the secretary, that such a course would be agreeable,
ordered the defendant to put in hail, himself 801., and
two sureties in 401. each, to he of good behaviour for
twelve months, with the condition, that all such prints
and publications in his possession should be given up
to the secretary, who should be allowed to examine
the stock for that purpose, and with a caution, that
the full period •f three month•, with hard labour,
should be inflicted, if upon sufficient proof, such
another charge should at any future time be brought
against him.
Henry May, who keeps a shop at No. 17, in the
same street, was also summoned for exposing, or
causing to he exposed, a similar publication, and the
case having been fully made out, ke was sentenced to
imprisonment for three months in the House of Cor-
rection, with hard labour.

The defendant was then removed in custody, and
in a few minutes Mr. Prichard returned to the court
to inform the magistrate that a bookseller, who had
become surety for the defendant Wynne, had loaded a
cart with all the prints and publications, for the pur-
pose of conveying them away, instead of allowing
them to be destroyed, in obedience to the order given
by the Court.
Mr. HENRY directed the officer to request his at--
tendanee, to explain hia conduct ; and on his arrival,
he said he was in the book trade, that he had pur-
chased the stock, as waste paper, for 151., as the re-
ceipt produced would show; besides, the greater part
of the goods were of the most moral character.
Mr. HENRY considerel the society was entitled to
have the papers delivered up to the police, and if that
Wii3 not done, and the money returned, he should
most certainly order a conviction.
The bail said he would maintain hisright in defiance
of every person, the property. being his, and left thq
court.

vv
Mr. HENRY being subsequently consulted upon the
subject, said he should decline giving any advice, and
remarked that such were the fruits of entering into
any compromise with such persons.,
MARYLEBONE.
ROBBERY BY A. YEET RESPECTABLE PERSON.—
YeAterday Mr. Simpson Gordon, residing at No. 2,
Abbey -terrace, St. John's-vvoed, was placed at the
bar before the sitting magistrate, Mr. Long, charged
with having stolen 3 lbs. weight of bacon, value
is. 10Id., the property of Mr. William Merrill, No.
3, New Church-street, Lisson-grove.
Mr. Cooper, solicitor., attended for the prisoner,
many of whose friends were in court during the pro-
ceedings. •
Alfred Merrel (brother to the prosecutor) deposed
that on the previous evening between 9 and 10
oclock, the,prisoner entered the shop and asked for
31. worth of eggs. They were handed to him, and
after he had paid for them he tasted some Bd. butter,
of which he purchased half a pound. He put the eggs
into his pocket, and opening a handkerchief laid it
down upon some bacon upon the window board, when
he, put the butter into it and then quitted the place.
A piece of bacon was immediately missed, and prose-
cutor feeling satisfied that the prisoner must have
stolen it, sent after him his lad, who presently re-
turned with the information that prisoner had told
him he had paid for the bacon, and that it was " all
right ;" he, prosecutor, then ran out and called
"police," and prisoner was taken into custody.
Flanigan, 136 S, said that he etopped the prisoner
as he was running very fast along North-street,
LisSon-groee, and upon opening his handkerchief he
found a piece of bacon therein ; he, prisoner, was then
conveyed to the station-house, where he was locked
up, and on the way from thence to this court he
offered to give witness 51. if he would make it up
with the prosecutor. •
Mr. Cooper, who could not struggle against the
olear eviden'co which had been adduced, remarked
that the prisoner was a very respectable person, and
I was willing to make any reparation in his power.
1 The prisoner was fully committed for trial.
