SUMMER ASSIZES.

THE QUI TAM ACTIONS.
(Before Mr. Baron PARKE and'a Special Jury.)
RUSSELL V. LORD G. DENTINCK.

Mr. Bovxm, asked if he was to understand that the
witness was in his Lordship's hands.
Baron PARKE—Yes.

Examination continued—Kent trained Gaper. He is
now trainer to the Duke of Richmond and Lord George
Bentinck. I remember making some bets about Gaper.
Mr. PETERSDORFF—Do you recollect making any
with Hill ?

This morning having been appointed for the trial of
the above cause, a good deal of interest was created, and
a great number of gentlemen connected with the turf
were preseht, and appeared to take great interest in the
proceedings.
Mr. Platt, Mr. Petersdorff, and Mr. E. James, were
for the plaintiff ; Mr. Peacock and Mr. Baldwin appeared
for the defendant.

Witness—Must I answer that question ?
Baron PARKE—You must answer every question that
will not eliminate yourself, but you are not bound to
answer any that will do so, or that will be likely to sub-
ject you to prosecution. You must answer this question.
'Witness—l had several bets with Hill.

SALES BY AUCTIoN.

Mr. JAMES opened the Henryadings. The plaintiff in
this cause was Mr. Charles H 'Russell, and W. G.
S. Bentinck, Esq., commonly called Lord George Ben-
tinclr., was the defendant. The declaration stated that
one Jehn Day did, on the 31st May, 1843, by unlawfully
betting on a horse race, lose the sum of 3,000/. to the
defendant, and that he paid that sum over to him ; and
that he did not, within the period of three months, sue
the said defendant for the recovery of the money which
he had so lost ; and that, therefore, the plaintiff was en-
titled to sue for, and recover, from the defendant, the said
sum of 3,000/., and treble the amount, making altogether
12,000/. The declaration also stated that one Henry Hill
had lost the sum of 3,0001. to the defendant, and had paid
him that amount. The plea put on the record by the
defendant was the general issue.

Mr. PETERSDORFF—Had you .any about the horse
Gaper ? Witness—l decline to answer the question.
Mr. PETERSDORFF—Had you any bets with him in
which you lost ? You must answer thit question, as it
cannot criminate you.
Baron PARKE—Yes, where you lost you must answer.
Where you won it is a different thing, and you are not
then bound to answer. _

Worcester ; and at the place of sale.

Examination continued—l had no arrangement with
Hill about any bets on Gaper. I saw Hill on the Derby
day at Epsom several times. I made bets with a good
many people on that day about the race, but I cannot
recollect who' they were. I did not bet with his Lord-
ship about Gaper or any one else on his behalf on that
day that lam aware of. I did not make any arrange-
ment with Hill about " hedging" my bets on Gaper. I
had no bets with the defendant about his horse, and I
am not aware that any application was made to his Lor-
dship on the subject of any bets about this horse. lam
quite certain I never caused any application to be made
to him.

When Mr. James sat down, -
Mr. Baron PARKE asked how they proposed proceed-
ing with the case under the operation of the new Act of
Parliament?

MO BE SOLD, pursuant to TWO DECREES
of the HIGH COURT of CHANCERY, made in Two Causes
of KYNASTON v. JONES, and KYNASTON v. JONES, with the
approbation of Sir GIFFIN WILSON, one of the Masters of the Court,
at the Lion Inn, in Shrewsbury, on WEDNESDAY, the 4th day of
September, 1844, between the hours of Two and Three in the after-
noon, in Lots :

Mr. PLATT said the action was brought prior to the
passing of the Act.
Mr. Baron Pat= said that the case must come under
that statute, for the first section was passed to stay all
proceedings in all actions which may have been begun
at the period of its passing; and the second section went
,41 to say, " that in case an action or actions which have
already been commenced shall be further prosecuted, or
in case any such action or actions shall be commenced
after the passing of this Act, it shall be lawful for the
defendant to plead the general issue, and to give this
Act in evidence under it ; and thereupon the judge
before whom such action shall be tried shall direct, and
he is hereby authorised and empowered to direct, a ver-
dict or verdicts, and judgment or judgments, to be en-
tered for such defendant or defendants." The present
case, added the Learned Judge, clearly came under the
statute.
Mr. PEACOCK said, that in consequence of what had
fallen from his Lordship, he begged to say that Lord
George Bentinck, the defendant in the present case, was
most anxious that it should be tried, and he did not in
any way desire to avail himself of the provisions of the
new statute.
Mr. Baron PARKE repeated his opinion that the
statute was an answer to the case.

Baron PARKE—Have you bad no bets with the de-
fendant about this horse Gaper? Witness—None, what-
ever, my Lord.
Mr. PETERSDORFF—Did you not make a bet of 20,0001.
to 3,0001. with Hill about Gaper ? Witness—lf I answer
that question I feel that I should implicate myself.
Baron PARKE—Not if you lost the bet.
Mr. PEACOCK—On behalf of the defendant I should
object to his answering the question upon another ground.
Baron PARKE—Very well, but he must answer as to
any bet he may have lost.
Witness—l lost so many bets upon that race, that I
cannot recollect distinctly any thing about them. It
is impossible for me to say anything positive about it.
Baron PARKE said that some particular bet should be
mentioned.

the principal Inns in the neighbourhood of the property offered for
sale. •

Mr. PETEMSDORFF—WeII, did you not lose a bet of
3,0001. to 20,0001. ?

Witness —lf I understand, you, my Lord, you
said I was not bound to answer any questions that I
thought would affect me. I think this one will, and
therefore I decline to answer it.—(A laugh.)
Baron PARKE—It cannot affect you to state what bets
you lost. W itness—Then I lost a great many. They
want me to say that I had this bet with the defendant,
but it is not the case. I had no bet with his Lordship
about Gaper.
Mr. PETERSDORFF—I ask you whether you had not
the bet I have mentioned with some one ? Witness—l
decline to answer the question.
Baron PARKE intimated that the question should be
answered.

TO TYPE-FOUNDERS STEREOTYPERS, PRINTERS, &c.
MR. L. A. LEWIS will SELL by AUCTION,

he usual appendages for carrying on both branches. Also, a capital
Printing Machine, 1,500 Metal Ornaments, with Specimen-books.
Particulars and Catalogues of Mr. L. A. Lewis, 125, Fleet-street.

Mr. JAMES said that the defendant had not pleaded
this upon the record, and therefore, he apprehended, he
had no right to fall back upon the statute. The only
plea upon the record was the general issue.
After some further discussion, Mr. PLATT said he be-
lieved the defendant had no desire to avail himself of the
operation of the Act.
Mr. PEACOCK said he had not. When the Bill was
before the House. of Commons, his Lordship had voted
in its favour, and on his vote being objected to on the
ground of his being an interested party, he at once de-
clared that it was not his intention to avail himself of
the statute on his three approaching trials.
Mr. Baron PARKE (after a few minutes considera-
tion) said lie would try the case and reserve the question
of law if it should be necessary to do so.

Witness—l have laid so many bets that I cannot re-
collect them all. The Learned Counsel told the jury
that I had had 10,0001. to 1001., and that I lost. Now,
I want to know in what way lam to answer. I can-
not tell all the bets, I lost so many, but I wish to protect
my friends.—(Laughter.)
Baron PARKE—You cannot claim protection for your
friends. You can only do so for yourself.
Witness—l did not lay that bet myself, but I wish not
to implicate myself or my friends.
Baron Penxn—You must answer all questions that do
not implicate yourself, and without reference to any one
else, or how it may implicate them. Witness—Then,
my Lord, I claim tho protection of the Court under the
fresh Act of Parliament.—(Laughter.)
Baron PARKE (smiling)—But that Act is rather
against you.
The witness at length said that he told a person to
hedge some of his bets for him, his object being to get
out of the scrape he had got into by his betting
20,0001. to 250/. against him ; and he said he
thought it was a very good friend indeed who could
assist him in. this respect. He went on to say that his
friend did " hedge" for him, but he was not present
when he made the bets. They might have been made
on the Downs or in the town of Epsom. After the race
he gave this friend money to settle his bets, and he had
no doubt that he did so. The sum might be 1001. er
it might be I,OOOL, but his betting-book upon that race
would tell the exact amount. He had sought for that
book before he came from home, but could not find it,
and he did not know where it was. Mr. Gully arranged
his accounts for him, and he gave him the balance.
Cross-examined—l should say that the book I cannot
find contained all the bets I lo.t upon that event, and,
therefore, if I had won any bets the book would have
shown it. lam not in the habit of keeping my betting
books any length of time after they are settled. The
money that I handed over to my friend was to satisfy a
number of bets, and not any particular one. Some of
the bets I settled myself. I laid bets against Gaper and
hedged some of them myself. The bets on the Derby
are settled on the following Tuesday at Tattersall's.. All
bets on the Derby are " play or pay," and where a horse
is withdrawn the bets are paid. If a horse dies bets are
paid, but if his owner dies they are not. I have seen the
plaintiff, but am not acquainted with him.
Re-examined--I did not bring my action to recover
back the money I had lost. I cannot say how much mo-
ney I paid to Mr. Gully. I have settled with Hill, and
have paid him perhaps as much as 4001. or 5001.
Mr. Henry Hill was then called, but he refused to be
sworn, and said that his solicitor had advised him to
do so.

_
EDINBURGH HIGH SCHOOL.
The following is the speech of the Lord Provost at
the examination of the scholars last week. It may
be interesting to our readers to state, that the pre-
sent Lord Provost is the eminent publisher in Edin-
burgh, and that some of the most distinguished men
of the age were reared at this school ; among others,
Lord Brougham, Lord Jeffrey, Lord Cockburn, the
Lord Justice Clerk, Mr. Horner, Mr. Rutherford,
Mr. Alison, and, last, not least—for he has made, we
believe, a fortune surpassing that of all named—Mr.
Matheson, the celebrated Canton merchant, and Mem-
ber for Ashburton :

Mr. BoVILL then rose and addressing his Lordship,
said that he appeared on behalf of some of the gentlemen
who had been subpoenaed as witnesses for the plaintiff,
and he should submit that his Lordship had no power to
try the case.
Mr. Baron PARKE said it was a novel feature in a
court of justice, to see witnesses represented by a gen-
tleman at the bar. He had no doubt the Learned Gen-
tleman `would give his clients very good advice, but the
Court could not hear any argument in their behalf.
Mr. BoviLL then submitted that the action was alto-
gether susperseded by the statute.

Mr. Baron PARKE said he should reserve the question
of law, if it were necessary to do so.
Mr. PUTT thought it right to say that he did not
suppose the noble defendant was in any way a party to
this attempt to get rid of the case, and he could not
imagine that he was in any way a party to the appli-
cation that had just been made.
Mr. BoviEL said that Lord George Bentinck was cer-
tainly not a party to it.

The LORD PROVOST, addressing the Rector, Dr.
Carson, said—Sir, those who have been privileged to
witness the exhibition of this day cannot fail to be
impressed with the immense advantages which this
school confers upon Edinburgh.—(Great applause.)
From its walls have come forth men whose names are
now illustrious in science and in art, who have held
the highest situations in this kingdom, mid whoco
influence has been felt over the whole civilised world;
so that the wisdom and the morality gathered here
has not been confined to the individuals who received
it, but has been spread abroad, not only over this
country, but through other lands; so that it may be
truly said this school is a light, not to lighten Edin-
burgh alone, but the world at large.—(Great
applause.) To you, Sir, and to your colleagues,
we consider ourselves eminently indebted. It is im-
possible that the pupils of this school could have
made the progress they have done, unless intelligence,
affection, and zeal, on the part of the teachers had
been eminently manifested.—(Applause.) We hear
much said of the advantages of schools in other quar-
ters ; but I am bold to say that there is not in Scot•
land, or in the three kingdom, a literary establish-
ment which stands higher, or is better fitted for the
discharge of the duties it has to perform, than the
High School of Edinburgh.—(Applause.) I am
proud to say that the sons of the humble citizens
of Edinburgh may here acquire an education as
good as is elsewhere received by the sons of the
highest nobles in the land.—(Loud applause.) We
have witnessed with great satisfaction the progress
which has been made in all the classes ; but I was
particularly struck, Sir, with the attainments made
by the class which has been under your care. I
recollect when I was in that class—alas ! now some
forty or fifty years ago—(Great applause)—and it
seems to me that . the boys on the lowest form now
are better Greek scholars than those on the highest
form were then ; so that here is a proof that the
school not only maintains its efficiency, but that it is
making progress and keeping equal pace with any
other institution.—(Applause.) I have to say for
myself that I regard this school with gratitude and af-
fection ; and I shall never cease in that way to regard
it, because to it I am indebted for all the advantages
I have obtained in the course of my after life.--(Ap-
plause.) Any other place would have required
larger expenditure for education than my parents
could boast of; and I am proud to think that
here the sons of the humblest meet on equal
terms with the sons of the highest, and compete
with them for the highest prizes.—(Great applause.)
I can only say to the young gentlemen, that I trust
they will make such a use of the education they re-
ceive here as will do credit not only to themselves,
but to the school where they received it. There is
one point, however, to which I think it of consequence
to advert. We often hear it said, of what use is Greek
and Latin to boys, most of whom are not to spend
their time in literary professions, but are to be en-
gaged in commerce or trade ? I would ask those who
have witnessed the exhibition of this day if the edu-
cation given is confined to Latin and Greek ? Have
we not had an opportunity, everMn this hall, of seeing
the progress made by the boys in English com-
position ? From one we have had a philo-
sophical essay; from others we have had poems
which would do credit to much more ex•
perienced versifiers ; and we have here taught,
besides, geography, arithmetic, writing, and, in
fact, all the branches that are necessary for a young
gentleman to acquire. And it is farther to be borne
in mind, that when a boy acquires a knowledge of
Latin and Greek, he has not only acquired those
languages, but his mind has by that act of acquisi-
tion become disciplined and prepared for any intel-
lectual exercise to which he may be called in any
after part of his life.—(Applause.) A boy so
disciplined and obliged to give great attention to the
exercise of his mental faculties, and who has thus
obtained a knowledge of the niceties of language—
let the mental powers of that boy be applied to any
other purpose in the arts, in commerce, or in trade,
and he will find that his previous training has
admirably fitted him for the discharge of his duties,
in whatever sphere his lot may be cast. I trust,
therefore, that my fellow-citizens will not consider
that the education afforded in this school is of a
limited nature ; for, independent of the direct benefits
of classical education, it enables those who engage in
it, when they hr e got hold of this instrument of
language, more easily to master any other subject in
which they may be engaged. I trust that the pupils
of this school will so conduct themselves as not only
to carry off a large amount of knowledge from this
seminary, but that they will, in after life, do credit
to themselves, to their friends, and to their country.

Mr. PLATT had no doubt that nob/ennm -wan in on-
ign,n-nnee of it, but it showed the sympathy enter-
tained by the witnesses for the-defendant, and the diffi•
culties they intended to throw in the way of proving the
case, which they had the power to make out. The ap-
plication that had been made was certainly one of un-
unusual novelty, and that novelty was increased by the
Learned Counsel whom those witnesses had employed
telling the Learned Judge he had no power to try the
cause. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to state that
this action was brought for the purpose of putting
in force an Act of Parliament which been con-
sidered a most salutary measure by their an-
cestors—its object being to suppress and put an
end to gambling, and he thought the jury would
agree with him, that where the humble gambler who
used to infest the race-course was put down by the
police, care ought to be taken that there were not others
in the community who were permitted to commit the
same act for which.the others were punished. The jury
he was sure would feel with him, that in this country
the law ought to be equally administered to all. The
present action was brought against Lord George Ben-
tinck, to recover certain penalties which had been in-
curred by him, in consequence of his having laid and
won a certain bet of 3,0001., upon the Derby in 1843.
The betting upon horse-racing had assumed quite a
people not only made up books
mercantile feature, and
for themselves, but employed others to go about and make
bets for them, and amongst this class of persons there
seemed to be a man named Hill, who was a general agent
of the Noble Lord. In the spring of last year a well-known
trainer of race horses, and equally well-known on the
turf, appeared to have entertained a notion that a horse
named Gaper, the property of the defendant, would not
win the Derby, and he made two bets upon that event,
one of 10,000/. to 100/., and another of 10,000/. to 150/., on
the winning of the race ; however, it seemed that Mr.
Day, the person he referred to, began to quake, for
Garr had very much risen in the public estimation, and
he therefore became very anxious to what was called
hedge" the bets he had made against him. At this
time Day stood to lose 20,0001. if Gaper had lost the
race, and if he won, he would only have been a winner
of 2501. Being anxious to diminish his risk, Day
applied to a person named Hill, who was
known betting
Day
/.
agent, and eventually Hill laid him a
bet of 20,000 to 3,0001,
against the horse, the result
being thatas a
was
in the position of losing 2,7501. if
the horse lost, and of winning nothing if he won, and
the only advantage he had gained was to diminish his
chance of losing 20,000/. to only losing 2.7501. It would
be seen from what he stated that the bet was made
through the instrumentality of Day and Hill, and
therefore these were the only witnesses who could make
out the plaintiff's case. and the jury would, therefore,
see what a difficulty he was placed in. If he succeeded
in making out the facts as he had stated then he appre-
hended that the case would come clearly within the
statute of the 9th of Anne. Ile should put the witnesses
in the box, and if he made out the facts he did not see
that the jury could have any difficulty in coming to the
conclusion that the defendant was liable to the penalti.2s
sought to be recovered from him ; and it was not because
the defendant was a Nobleman, and stood in a high rank
of society, that he would escape the punishment, while
a man less ennobled or less possessed of the world's
means would have it visited upon him. The jury had
only one duty to perform, which was to apply the law of
England equally against the poor and the rich.
John Day was then called.
Mr. Bovn.L—Will you allow me—.
Baron PARKE.—What do you wish to say, Mr.
Bovill ?
Mr. BoviLL—My advice to Mr. Day is to decline to
be sworn.
Baron PARKE (smiling).—What, Mr. Bovill !
Mr. PLATT—If he refuse to be sworn, depend upon
it he will be committed, even though you may advise
him to give that refusal.
Mr. Bovu.r. still urged that Mr. Day might not be
sworn, as he might commit himself.
Mr. PLATT.—Mr. Day is the loser of the bet—a loser
is not liable ; the winner only is liable.
Baron PARKE at length ruled that the witness must
be sworn, and he said he would reserve all. objections.
Mr. Day then addressed the Court, and asked whether
his Lordship had decided that he must be sworn ?
Baron PARSE said—Certainly.
Mr. Day was accordingly sworn and then examined
by Mr. Petersdorff. He stated that he was a trainer of
race- horses.
Mr. PETERSDORFF—nave you ever trained horses for
the defendant ?
Mr. BoviLL—Don't answer that question.--(Laughter.)
Mr. PLATT—Why ?
Mr. Bovu.L—Because the reply may be used against
him.
Mr. Day (to the Court)—Am I bound to answer these
questions ? They may be used against me, for I am pro-
ceeded against myself for this very same bet.
Baron PAnnm--You need not answer any question
that is likely to criminate yourself, but the others you
must.
Mr. Day—l have been trainer to the defendant, but
cannot say exactly when I discontinued to act in that
capacity for his Lordship. I was his trainer for three
or four years, and down to the last three or four years.
I knew his Lordship's horse Gaper when he was entered
to run for the Derby in 1843. I did not entertain a
very high opinion of his capabilities, and did not think
he could win.

Baron PARKE said his solicitor had advised him very
wrongly, and he must be sworn.
The witness said his reason for refusing was, that he
was a defendant in an action for the very same bet.
After some discussion, the witness was sworn, and be
underwent a very long examination, in order to prove
that he had made the bet of 20,0001. to 3,0001. with Mr.
Day, as agent of the defendant, but be did not admit the
fact. He admitted that he had hedged some. bets for
Day about Gaper, and, in the course of his examination,
he said that the amount of penalties sought to be re-
covered from him by qui tam, actions were as much as
between 50,0001. and 60,0001., 12,0001. of which was for
this very bet. He had never heard the defendant say
that he had made a bet of 20,0001. to 3,000 L against
Gaper, but he believed he had done so. Gaper lost the
race. He said that he received so much money at the
settling that he really could not now tell what he re-
ceive, or from whom he received it.

THE Two VACANT SEATS.--Mr. Thomas Wyse,
M.P. for the city of Waterford, has given formal no-
tice to the House of Commons that he will move,
early next session, that the two seats recently ren-
dered vacant by the disfranchisement of the
borough of Sudbury be transferred to such
county or counties in Ireland as shall from its po-
pulation and the present state of its representation, &c.,
appear most fit to return additional Members to Parlia-
ment. The said two seats have now been unfilled for
nearly three sessions, and, consequently, the number of
Members is reduced at prom; to 656,

to be. He had known John Day for many years, and he
asked him to hedge some large sums for him about
Gaper, and he took a bet of 20,0001. to 3,0001. about
Gaper with the defendant. He had several bets
with other persons also about the same horse.
He took the bet of Lord George, aad witness himself
was responsible for it. He did not make this bet for
Day, but for himself. He subsequently lot Day have that
bet, but originally it was made as his own account, and
not on that of Day.
Baron PARKE—Then we are to understand that you
took this bet of Lord George on your own account, and
afterwards handed the bet to Day ? Witness—Yes, my
Lord. When I offered the bet to Day, lie refused it for
some time, as the odds were not enough for him. Al-
though, however, he eventually took the bet, I was
responsible to Lord George for it, and if Day
had not settled with him, I must have paid
it myself'. I may state that a circumstance of
that sort occurred to me this year with Colonel
Anson. I had made a bet of 2,4001. to 3001. with Colonel
Higgins. The odds were not enough for Colonel Anson,
and therefore I had to pay the bet myself. I did not
settle the particular bet about which I have been asked
with John Day. I had seen Day at Epsom that morning
before I made the bet with Lord George, and it may
have been in consequence of what passed between us
that I made the bet. It is, however, not possible at this
distance of time that I can tell whether I might not have
made the bet without such conversation, but, if it had
been in consequence of our conversation, it would be a
very customary proceeding. When the race was won
Day stood the whole of this bet.
By Mr. PEACOCK—What I meant by the last answer
was, that Day stood to me and I stood to Lord George.
I alone was responsible to his Lordship for the bet. If
either party to a bet dies, the bet is off, and if I had
died, this bet of mine with Lord George would have been
off, and eke versa.
Baron PARSE—Had Day anything to do with Lord
George about that bet? Witness—Nothing whatever.
I was responsible to Lord George, and his Lordship was
responsible to me.
By Mr. PEACOCK—If Day had died, the bet between
Lord George and myself would have stood, and the re-
sponsibility of Day- to me would have ceased.
By a Juror—Then you must have paid Lord George?
Witness—Of course.
Baron PARKE—Then you took the bet for yourself,
and not in any way as the agent of Day. IN itness— I es,
my Lord.
Baron PARKE—If such a thing were possible as that
you were unable to pay the bet, would Lord George have
had any remedy against Day? Witness—Undoubtedly not.
Baron PARKE—There is an end of the case, then. The
simple question is, whether, after what Mr. Gully has
stated, he made the bet for Day or for himself ?

ADVERTISEMENTS INSERTED in ALL THE THREE PAPERS, Morning Noon, and Night, thereby insuring a TOWN and COUNTRY CIRCULATION, at ONE CHARGE.

Mr. Gully—Lord George would not have let me off in
the event of Day not paying. I did not settle the bet
with Lord George in a direct manner ; and, as far as I
can recollect, I cannot possibly say how it was settled.
I desired Day to pay part of the money over to Hill.
There is no doubt it was settled, but I cannot tell in
what way.

Baron PARKE—Then you told Day to pay part
of the money to Hill ? Mr. Gully—Yes. It is com-
mon to transfer bets.

Baron PARKE-But the question is, whether you
would have made the bet with Lord George if Day had
not spoken to you about hedging ? Mr. Gully—Very
likely not ; but I might.
A Juror—Day stated that he employed Gully as an
agent to hedge for him..
Baron PARKE—Yes, he said so, certainly.
A Juror—At the time of making this bet, did you tell
Lord George that it was for Day ? Mr. Gully—No, I
did not.

Baron PARKE—Then, I understand you to say that
whether Day took that bet or not, was dependent on a
subsequent arrangement with him ? Mr. Gully—
Certainly.
By a Juror—l felt bound to offer this bet to Day in a
friendly way. lam not a recognised agent for batting.
Baron PARKE—Did you consider yourself at the time
you made this bet the recognised agent of Day ? Mr.
Gully—Certainly not.
Baron PARKE—This, then, is the state of the case:—
The plaintiff in this action has to make out that it was
with Day, or with Gully, as the agent of Day, that the
defendant made this bet, but Mr. Gully states that he
made the bet on his own account. The plaintiff,
therefore, fails in establishing his case. As to the pay-
ment of the money, there is reasonable evidence for the
jury to conclude that it was paid.
The jury then immediately returned a verdict for the
defendant. There wag a slight demonstration of appro-
bation, which was momentarily repressed.

PALEN V. GATHERCOLE.
This was an action brought by the Rev. Mr. Palen,
the Rector of Stifford, in Essex, against the Rev. Mr.
Gathercole, the proprietor and editor of a newspaper,
called the Church Intelligencer, for a libal published in
that paper.
Mr. Sergeant Shea and Mr. E. James were for the
plaintiff; Mr. Sergeant Channell appeared for the de-
fendant.

Mr. JAMES having opened the pleadings,
Mr. Baron GURNEY suggested that this was a case
which might be disposed of with much .more satisfaction
by private arrangement than by going to trial.
Mr. Sergeant SHEA said he was afraid that the matter
had already been made too public, and that there was no
course now left hut to take the opinion of the jury.
After the case had been opened, a verdict for 405., by
consent, was taken for the plaintiff. _ _

Mr. Baron GURNEY expressed his opinion that the
proper course had been taken on both sides.

MIDLAND CI RCUIT.--Wunoick, Aug. S.
Wm. Jones, aged 25, was charged with having, on the
Bth of April last, feloniously cut and stabbed Thomas
Aston with a knife, with intent to do him some bodily
harm and damage.
Mr. Willinore conducted the prosecution, and Mr.
Miller the defence.

It appeared, on the day in question, Mr. Acton was
proceeding along a street in Birmingham, when he per-
ceived a number of persons scuffling and fighting toge-
ther ; upon interfering, he was attacked by the prisoner,
who with a knife struck Acton upon the head, inflicting
serious injury.
For the prisoner several witnesses were called, who
attempted to prove Jones was the injured, and not the
offending, party.
The jury returned a verdict of Guilty. Sentence post-
poned.
Wm. Stanley Warner, aged 27, a young man of
fashionable appearance, pleaded guilty to a charge of
stealing, on the 25th of July last, twelve promissory
notes of the Bank of England for 1001. each, the property
of the Birmingham Town and District Banking Com-
pany. The prisoner was a clerk in the District Banking
Company. On the afternoon of the 25th of July he left
the bank, and, not returning, suspicions were excited,
and search being made, it was found 1,200/. were missing.
Placards were immediately distributed over the town and
through the country. Two or three days after the rob-
bery a young man was seen driving very furiously
through the streets of Chester. The horse and gig were
stopped, and the driver being intoxicated he was taken
to the station-house as a matter of precaution. His
person also was searched, so that whatever property he
had about him might be taken care of. In one of his
pockets there was discovered 1,0001. wDrth of notes, be-
sides gold. The policeman then referred to a placard
in his possession, and found the prisoner to be the party
charged s ith the bank robbery at Birmingham. He was
then taken into custody, and brought back.
The Learned JUDGE postponed passing sentence for
the present.
Jane Dan,,an, a lady-like looking woman, aged 24,
was charged with tmring, on the 18th of May last,
feloniously conveyed into the county gaol at Warwick a
lifting jack, a spanner, two saws, and one pair of scis-
sors, being instruments proper to facilitate the escape
of prisoners, and delivered to Benjamin Bannan, her
husband, then in custody, having been convicted of felony.
_ _

Mr. Niellor was for the prosecution ; Mr. Miller the
defence.

The husband of the prisoner was convicted at the last
assizes of making, or causing to be made, certain dies,
being a resemblance to the observe and reverse sides of
a shilling. A point of law having been raised against
the legality of the conviction, the prisoner was remanded
back to gaol. and it was pending the decision of that
point the offence alleged in the indictment was com-
mitted. It would appear that Mrs. Bannan applied at
the gaol for permission to see her husband in the pre •
sence of an officer, and it is supposed that at that inter-
view the iticles mentioned in the indictment found their
way to Bannan, the husband—the object being to aid the
husband in his escape from prison. The governor of the
gaol had some suspicion all was not right, and on Mrs.
Bannan quitting her husband she was asked into a room,
and Benjamin Bannan was searched, and the various
articles described found upon him. Jane Bannan was
then taken before a magistrate, and committed for trial.

An objection was taken to the indictment, of which
the Learned Judge took a note, observing he would not
stop the case, but still he had so strong an opinion in
respect of it, that if the prisoner was convicted he would
allow her to go at large on bail.—The prisoner, however,
was acquitted.

NORTH WALES ClRCUlT.—Chester,Auy. 7.
(Before Baron ROLFE.)
A rather respectable-looking man, named William
Neale, aged 29, a tailor, was indicted for a misdemeanour,
in having had criminal connexion with Ann Smith, a
girl under the age of twelve years.
The evidence of the prosecutrix showed that early in
May last she went to reside at the house of the prisoner
as nurse, he being a married man having two infant chil-
dren. She slept in a room by herself up stairs, and in
the middle of the night the prisoner went to her bed,
where he perpetrated the offence.
Mr. TOWNSEND proceeded to contend that as the evi-
dence, if it was to be relied on, proved that a rape, which
was a felony at common law, had been committed, the
indictment for the statutable misdemeanour could not
be sustained.

A singular scene then occurred, the counsel for the
prisoner endeavouring to prove from the lips of the pro-
secutrix that the capital offence had been committed,
whilst Mr. Yardley, for the prosecution, endeavoured to
elicit the fact of consent, in order to reduce the crime to
a misdemeanour. _ _ _

Mr. J. E. Donlevy, M.D., a surgeon and physician,
practising at Liscard, was then called, and he proved
that violence had been used towards the girl, and disease
communicated.
Mr. TOWNSEND contended that the indictment was
wrongly framed, inasmuch as the crime of rape had
been proved, and that the lesser offence was merged in
the greater.
His Lonnsnrp said, supposing the full crime of rape
to be proved, every word in the present indictment was
true, and in his opinion the offence was complete under
the statute whether the girl consented or not. If, how-
ever, the jury convicted the prisoner, and upon consulta-
tion with Mr. Justice Coleridge, he had any doubt upon
the subject, he would arrest the judgment, in order to
obtain the opinion of the Judges upon the point. His
(the Learned Judge's) impression was, that the Legis-
lature, in passing the Act, intended it to meet those cases
where it might be doubtful whether a female between the
ages of ten and twelve did or did not consent.
The counsel for the prosecution asked whether, if every
point in the indictment was proved and more, that would
vitiate it ?
The Learned JUDGE-4 think not.
Mr. TOWNSEND then addressed the jury, contending
that they could not find the prisoner guiltyif they were
of opinion that the offence was committed against the
consent of the prosecutt:ix.
The JUDGE told the jury that he was of opinion the
consent of the prosecutrix was wholly immaterial.
The prisoner was found Guilty, and the jury being
asked, at the request of Mr. Townsend, whether they
were of opinion the offence was committed with or with-
out the consent of the girl, replied, without.
His LORDSIIIP, after expressing his regret that he had
not power to pass a more severe sentence for so great a
crime, ordered the prisoner to be imprisoned and' kept to
hard labour for the term of two years.

Low FARES ON RAILWAYS.—In his examination
before the Select Committee on Railways, Mr. Rowland
Hill, of Post-office celebrity (and who is a Director of
the London and Brighton Railway), was asked by Mr.
Horstnan if he believed that a great reduction of fares
throughout the whole railways in the country would be
followed by a very large increase of traffic? His answer
was, " I think that all experience goes to show that
such would be the result." In answer to a further ques-
tion, the witness admitted that the first effect of a great
reduction of fares would be to diminish the receipts, but
he was " inclined to think that they would bd gradually
made up, to a very great extent at least."—Railtray

UNPARALLELED EXHIBITION EACH DAY OF THIS WEEK.

having arrived In London, are giving their NATIVE DANCES,
Songs, Games, &c., in CATLIN'S INDIAN COLLECTION, Egyptian

Mr. Catlin, from the platform. This is the party which has been
drawing such vast crowds to see them while in New York, and they

The party consists of every grade of Chiefs, Medicine Men, Warriors,
Women, and Children, in splendid costumes, the youngest of which
is only six months old, and carried upon its mother's back in the
oradle. The public will easily decide that these are by far the
wildest and best representations of the Red Men of America ever
seen in England ; and their stay in London at present must be limited
to a very short time, as they are on their way to the Continent.
