EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE of PERJURY,

At the Police-court yesterday, a charge of perjury
was_ brought against a young man named James
Newell, arising out of a cause which was tried at the
late assizes before Mr. Baron Rolfe. The facts of the
case,
inbriefly stated, are these :—A number of gentle-
men Nottingham and Manchester were holders of
scrip in the projected 'Wolverhampton, Birmingham,
and Nottingham Railway, and when the line was
abandoned the holders endeavoured to get back a
porti)n, at least, of their deposits from the direc-
tors. Failing to do so, Mr. Wm. Taylor, au agent
and accountant, in Nottingham, raised funds amongst
the shareholders to enter actions in the Court of Ex-
, chequer against the directors, and amongst the con-
tributors was Mr. IN'En. Backwell, upholsterer, of
the same town. Before the cases came to trial, it
was deemed advisable, as they would be heard at
Liverpool, to employ a solicitor in this neighbourhood,
and ultimately Mr. Charles Cooper, of Manchester,
was selected. That gentleman, however, refused to
act, unless the shareholders concerned would
give him a guarantee for the payment of his costs,
I forwarded to Mr.
and pay down each trhecsouompero,fanl(ol. The guarantee
was drawn up by
Taylor, for the
.signature
M of the Nottingham holders.
James Newell, with the document.
Mr. Taylor, having signed it iin steol t't,hsee sent hisop ocf
iNe clerk,
Taylorßlackwell
signppoenrsonhirmaupseedrsotnoa3,on't
the;n bcuatiletdhisu
the Gtb or 7th of August, 1847, and told
him that he was acting very unhandsomely in

refusing to sign the guarantee and pay a own his 101.
The result was, th:3 Mr. Blackwell prod•ia.d to sign
the document if it were again sent to him, and also
to pay the 101. James Newell then received instruc-
tions again to take the guarantee to Mr. Blackwell,
and on the following Monday, the 9th of
August, he • handed the document to his employer,
signed "William Blackwell." On the same day,
a son of that individual, William Johnson Blackwell,
called upon Mr. Taylor, and paid the promised
10/. Mr. Cooper eventually advised that the actions
should be abandoned ; the advice was concurred in by
most of the shareholders, and the solicitor sent in his
bill. The quota of each holder's expenses amounted
to about 431. Mr. Blackwell, on being applied to for
his share, denied that he knew anything at all about
the matter,—asserted that he had signed no guarantee,
and that he had paid no 10/. on account. Mr.
Cooper, thus baffled, brought an action against Mr.
' Blackwell, at the last assizes, to recover from
him the whole costs (the guarantee being joint and
several), leaving him to his resource against his co-
guarantees. At the trial of the case, lames Newell
deposed that be had seen Blackwell sign the docu-
ment. The result was a verdict for the plaintiff,
damages 1161., being the taxed amount of the costs
incurred after the date of the guarantee. Yesterday,
as we have before said, James Newell was brought
before Mr. Rushton on a charge of having committed
perjury in declaring that he had seen Blackwell
sign the instrument. Mr. Snowball appeared
for the prosecution, and Mr. Pemberton for the pri-
soner. The charge was investigated at great length,
the case occupying the court for above three hours.
Mr. William Blackwell deposed that he had nothing
whatever to do with the retaining of Mr. Cooper ;
that he never signed any guarantee; that the signa-
ture to the document produced, purporting to be his,
was not his writing, and that his son paid the
101. without his knowledge or consent. In his
cross-examination, which was most minute, the
witness could not recollect many circumstances of
importance; he hesitated to answer several questions;
and he so equivocated in replying to others, that Mr.
Rushton told him "he would have no shuffling."
Mr. Taylor was called for the defence ; and, in
a clear and straightforward manner, deposed
to the • statement of facts given in the com-
mencement of this paragraph. Mr. Rushton
then asked Blackwell whether, if he had not
signed the guarantee, he could tell who had signed
it. His reply was, he believed that his son had
signed it, but certainly without his (witness's) autho-
rity. Mr. Snowball remarked that he could produce
several respectable parties to depose that, in their
belief, the signature was not Mr. William Black-
weli's. Mr Rushton—" Yes, but how are we to get
over the facts patent in this case ? I hold your
principal witness, William Blackwell, to be totally
unworthy of credit, either here or elsewhere. It
is impossible for any one, at all experienced in
the taking of evidence, to doubt that in the whole
course of his testimony, he was flinching
from the truth -- that be hesitated to speak
it. lie has denied on his oath many things which
have bt NI proved on oath against him to-day.
lam very ~'rry that that young man is there. I
had no choice ;s' 1 was bound to put him there ; but,
in my opinion, he will go out of the box perfectly
untainted."—(Apvlause.) The prisoner—" Thank
you, • Sir " Mr. Rushton—" No, you are not at all
obliged to me, but to the laws of your country."—
(Approbation, which WAS speedily suppressed, as
before.) Tne prisoner—" I can assure you, Sir, that
my evidence was quite right." Here the young man
left The dock, and the court, which had been much
crowded, was speedily vacated by a large portion of
the auditors.—Liverpool Mercury of Friday.

DULWICEI COLLEGE INQUIRY

DOCTORS'-COMMONS.-SATURDAY.

Tuis morning, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the
Visitor, ex officio, of Dulwich College, and Mr. Justice
Matteson, and Sir John Dodson, his Grace's Assessors,
continued the inquiry, begun yesterday, into certain al-
leged grievances in the management of the College, and
especially with respect to the education of the poor
scholars.

The inquiry was commenced at the instance of Mr.
Luke Embleton and Mr. Downs, the two senior wardens
of the parish church of St. Saviour's, Southwark, being
two of the Assistants of Dulwich College, appointed
under the statutes and ordinances of Mr. Edward
Alleyne, the founder ; and their object was to remedy
certain abuses which, in the course of time, bad crept
into the management and distribution of the revenues of
the charity.
Mr. Rom (with whom was Mr. J. Palmer) addressed the
court yesterday on behalf of the two senior wardens of
St. Saviour's. He stated that the charter of the Col-
lege was granted by James 1., and was dated on the 21st
of June, 1619. License was thereby granted to Mr.
Edward Alleyne, his heirs, executors, &e., to found for
the relief and maintenance of poor men, women, and
children, a college at Dulwich—to consist of one mas-
ter, one warden, four fellows, six poor brethren, six
poor sisters, and twelve poor scholars, and according to
such statutes as should be ordained by Mr. Alleyne
himself in his lifetime, or by other persons after his
death. The college was directed to be named " the
College of God's gift in Dulwich," and the usual
powers of a corporation were conferred upon it. The
deed of foundation was executed on the 13th of Sep-
tember, 1619, and was a mere echo of the charter. That
was followed by a conveyance of the lands on
the 24th of April, 1620. The most important
statutes, however, were those which related to
the education of the twelve poor scholars. It appeared
from the statutes themselves that Mr. Alleyne con-
templated the revenues then to amount to 8001. per an-
num. He gave specifically to several objects connected
with the college about 600/. per annum. By the statutes
he appointed six persons to be junior fellows, and six as-
sistants, and added thirty poor persons not named in the
charter, to whom he allotted diet, pensions, or allowances
of some kind or other. That appointment had given rise
to a great deal of the difficulty in administering the
affairs of the college. At first there was a surplus of
2001. per annum, ut it now amounted to many thou-
sands a year. At the audit on the 4th of March 100/.
was to be allowed to remain in the chest of the treasurer,
and after the payments for repairs, legal expenses, the
preferment of scholars in learning, &c., the residue was
to be divided into 600 parts, which he allotted for diet
among the persons whom he deemed entitled to share in
his bounty. On casting up the respective shares they
amounted to 601. In 1664, Archbishop Sheldon issued
an order that in all business transactions not duly pro-
vided for by the founder the master or warden should be
of the majority. By that order the inception of all
business was devolved on the master or warden.
A suit in Chancery was instituted in 1724, and Lord
King held that the founder had power to appoint as-
sistants, though he had not power to add to the
college. That decree had been acted upon up to the
present time. In 1836 the Charity Commissioners, in
the exercise of their functions, visited Dulwich College,
and made a special report upon it. An information was
then filed by the Attorney-General in his own name,
without any relator; the cause went through its regular
stages, and was disposed of in 1841, by the Master of
the Rolls. It was considered by the college that the
judgment delivered by Lord Langdale settled every
question with respect to the poor scholars. He (Mr.
Rolf) contended that that judgment determined two
things—first, that there was no trust for the thirty
poor members or for any general charitable objet ;
and, secondly, that everything connected with the in-
ternal regulation of the college, and the due distribu-
tion and management of the revenues, remained for the
decision of the visitor. If he were to ask Lis Grace to
declare that there was a trust for these thirty members,
that judgment might stand in his way, but be merely
asked his Grace to take care that the management
should be such as had been pointed out by the founder;
and he maintained that the founder had negatived the
enjoyment, by the warden and fellows, of the shares
which were undisposed of in consequence of the illegal
appointment of the thirty poor members.
Mr. TURNER, this morning, resumed the address
begun yesterday, on behalf of the Master and Wardens
of the College. He contended that the question for the
consideration of the Court was how far the intention of'
the founder of the college was that there should be a
grammar school, and whether that intention could be
carried out to the advantage of the boys that were edu-
chted in that school, or whether it was not better that
those boys should be brought up in the way to whieh
the present process of education in the school introduced
them, rather than with the view of placing them in a
superior school. He called upon the Court to consider
the position in life of the parents of those boys, and the
situations in life to which those boys might raise them-
selves through the instrumentality of an education at the
Universities. Those boys, by that means, might attain
a position so high above that of their parents, that it
might prejudice or weaken those natural feelings of
respect which the boys ought to have towards their pa-
rents. Another question was. what had become of the
fend not specifically provided for by the founder? It ap-
peareclt he founder, in the disposition of a sum of 6001.,
had made dispositions for the benefit of persons whom he
could not introduce into the foundation. He (Mr.
Turner) contended they were not dealing with a ques-
tion of trust, but with a surplus fund, in the members of
surplus
uh
rm pp l
rrei
the corporation; and he apprehended that on the same
principle on which the Court of Chancery, in oases of
trust, dealt with a surplus income belonging to a tes-
tator his Grace the Visitor would .be considered as
having full authority to deal with that which had not been
specifically disposed of or appropriated by the founders,
and that that question lay within the discretion of
his Grace the Visitor. How had those funds been ap•
plied for the benefit of the boys? He believed it would
be found in truth there had not been anything
like the undue appropriation as against the boys, which
had been suggested by his Learned Friends on the
other side. If they were to work out this scheme of the
teatator according to the mode proposed by his Learned
Friends, they would find that although the boys bad not
received the benefit of the funds exactly in the
