GUILDHALL.

Richard Evans, an ostler, residing in Catharine
Wheel-yard, New Brentford, was charged with hav-
ing exposed a glandered horse in Smithfield market
on Friday afternoon.
City police-constable Race, who discovered the
beast at the entrance of the market, stated, that on
telling the prisoner that the horse was glandered, he
replied that it ought not to be so, as he had just
bought it for 4/. 15s. at Dixon's Repository, and did
not bring it into the market for sale. Witness went
accordingly to ascertain the truth of his story, and
ascertained that he had spoken correctly.
Alderman CLIALLIS—And pray do they intend to
give this poor man's money back that he gave fur the
diseased beast? Race—l cannot tell, Sir; they said
that the horse was quite sonnd when they sold it, and,
therefore, they could not put tip with the loss.
Alderman CHALLIS—Then I think it is a very dis-
graceful proceeding. It's evident that the prisoner
did not know the animal was glandered, or he would
not have purchased it, and he must, therefore, be dis-
charged.
Prisoner—Then pray, Sir, cannot I have the money
or horse ?

Alderman CIIALLIS—The beast I shall order to be
destroyed, as it is not fit to be allowed to go at large ;
and as for the money, why I am afraid you must seek
the assistance of a civil court to recover. It is very
certain that you have been imposed upon, and I am
very sorry for you.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

John Atkins, a well-known thief, was charged with
having, in company with a number of other thieves,
assaulted police• constable Crowning, C 158, and Mr.
J. Gibbons, a gentleman well known for his adroit-
ness in the detection and apprehension of pickpockets.
Mr. Gibbons said about five o'clock on Friday he
saw two thieves, one of whom put his hand into a
lady's pocket, and apparently obtained a booty. The
two men then went into the Coach and Horses, in
St. Martin's-lane, and Mr. Gibbons waited until he
saw a policeman. The police-constable C 158 came
up, and he told him what he had seen. The constable
went into the house, and, after great trouble and risk,
succeeded in getting the thief into the street. While
taking him towards the Vine-street station-house,
through St. Martin's-court, the constable was sur-
rounded by a gang of thieves, who knocked him
down, and shamefully ill-treated him. The prisoner,
who was handcuffed, was rescued and got off. Wit-
ness was struck by Atkins, who was one of the fore-
most in the attack on the constable. The result was
that Atkins was secured and lodged in the station-
house.

Mr. HARDWICK sent Atkins to the tread•mill for
one month for the assault on the constable, and fur-
ther inflicted the fine of 51., or two months' imprison-
ment, for the assault on Mr. Gibbons.
QUEEN-SQUARE.

George -Walker, the driver of the hackney cab
555, and William Worley, the driver of 877, were
charged on a summons with wanton and furious
driving, whereby the safety of the public was en-
dangered.
The case was proved by a police-constable of the
B division, named Friendship. He stated that at
half-past twelve on the forenoon of the 29th ult. he
was on duty in Knightsbridge, and saw the two de-
fendants driving at a furious rate from the direction
of Kensington. Both horses were galloping, and the
drivers were whipping them at the time. The cab
555 was driven up against the other, and at that mo-
ment 877 caught some projection, and defendant
Worley was thrown off the driving-box with great
violence. The other cab was then driven off at the
same speed as before, and the policeman followed on
another vehicle, but was unable to overtake it.
Stevens, It waterman, who had seen part of the oc-
currence, confirmed the constable's statement.
It was here represented to the magistrate that the
two drivers had been fined 40s. each at another police-
court, at the instance of one of the Societies for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, for ill-treating the
horses on this occasion.

The men, in defence, expressed their regret, and
said that they had already undergone punishment for
this offence. Walker said he was only just out of
prison. _

Mr. BURRELL said that this was a distinct charge.
It was most fortunate that life had not been sacrificed
by defendants' conduct. The public safety must be
protected, and he should, therefore, commit defendants
for two months each.

IN RE TOLFRET.

This was an application on the part of an insolvent
who had been five years in prison, and was originally
taken on a Judge's order as a person about to leave
the country.
The attorney for the insolvent mentioned the cir-
cumstance to the Court, as a difference of opinion ex-
isted on the subject. The insolvent was now charged
in execution, and the point was whether he could
avail himself of the new Act, which he could not have
done if the proceedings had not gone on to execution.
Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQU was of opinion
that he was entitled to his discharge, as he was now
in prison on an execution ; and he made the order ac-
cordingly.

DICTIONN AIRE NATIONAL;
Or, GRAND CRITICAL DICTIONARY of the
FRENCH LANGUAGE.
By BESCHERELLE, Aine, of the Library of the Louvre,
Author of the " Uranunaire Nationale," and Member of several

Learned Societies.
This new and most valuable work, which when completed, will
form two splendid large quarto volumes, of four columns, containing
more matter than four volumes of " Le Dictionnaire Landais," is now
issuing from the press in half-sheet numbers, three numbers being
published weekly.
Founded on the authority of the most celebrated anthors, and corn
prising for the first time not only all the words lately introduced into
circulation by the Press, but also Geography, History, Biography,
&c., &c., together with the Critical and Analytical Notes of the most
esteemed Dictionaricis (such as those of the Academy, of Laveaux, of
Boiste, and of Napoleon Landais).
Lc Dictionnaire National Is designed to be a work eminently clas-
sical, and more correct, ample, and complete, than any other Dic-
tionary that exists.
It is computed that the whole work will be completed in fifteen
months, and in four hundred numbers ; but should any numbers issue
exceeding the four hundred, they will be delivered gratis. His
Majesty the King of the French has honoured the " Dictionnaire
National" by becoming a subscriber to it.
N.B. A re-impression is ready of the thirty-eight first numbers,
printed in four columns instead of two, and in a new and beautiful
type, containing 150,000 letters to the sheet.

The solicitor to the fiat applied for an adjournment,
in order that a fiat against Charles Banister might be
worked in London together, in accordance with an
order of the Chief Judge in Bankruptcy.
The Court granted the application.

ASSAULT ON TOLL-COLLECTORS.—On Friday Mr.
Henry Dawes, a veterinary surgeon, residing in
Stephen's-mews, Fitzroy-square, and John Under-
wood, a man in his service, were charged before Mr.
Rawlinson with the following violent assault :
__

Thomas Staples, a toll-collector, at the Hampstead
turnpike, de-Posed that on the previous Wednesday
the defendants, who were in a gig, drove up to the
gate, when Mr. Dawes asked for change for a shilling.
Complainant gave him a sixpence and three penny
pieces, expecting of course that the shilling would be
handed to him. He, however, did not receive it, and
Mr. Dawes was in the act of driving on when com-
plainant laid hold of the horse, and asked for the coin
to which he was entitled. Mr. Dawes then denied
that he had had ninepence from him (complainant),
and flogged him with considerable violence with the
whip. He (Mr. Dawes) then knocked him down, as
did also the servant, who in addition thereto kicked
him as he lay on the ground.
William Easum, another toll-collector at the same
gate, stated that on seeing the way in which Staples
was treated he spoke to Mr. Dawes, telling him that
he was acting wrong, when he (Mr. Dawes) inflicted
a flogging upon him ; he was also struck by the
servant.

Mr. Dawes-, in answer to the charge, said that he
gave Staples 6d., and received from him 3d. and a
ticket. He (Staples) seized the horse by the head,
and used language of a most disgusting description,
and he then got out of the gig and knocked him
down. His servant 'used no more force than was
necessary towards Staples to remove his hand from
the reins.,
The defendants entered into security for their ap-
pearance at the sessions, in the event of their being
indicted.
London, England, 1844-08-26

LAMBETH- S 7 PEET.

Thomas Charlton Cowley was brought up before
the Hon. C. Norton, on his remand, for levying libe-
ral contributions, in the shape of board, lodging, and
necessaries, on several tavern-keepers at the East-end
Mrs. Howard, landlady of the Red Lion, Penning-
ton-street, London Docks, stated that he had not only
introduced himself, but one of his friends, to her pub-
lic-house, and, by his plausible story and address, had
got in her debt to the amount of 8/.
The parties now said they would not be at the
trouble to prosecute, and would not press the case.
The prisoner still persisted in saying that he was
one of the most wealthy landed proprietors at Port
Lincoln, as Judge Cooper well knew and could prove,
and would give a mortgage on his estate to Mrs.
Howard, or any other of his prosecutors.
As none of the parties pressed the case, the prisoner
was discharged.
He assured the magistrate that the estate was well
able to pay, and he would import some of the 200
bullocks he had upon it, for the purpose of satisfying
the complaints.

defenceless, the natives turned upon the supercargo,
and plundered the vessel of her gear, and every move-
able article upon which they could lay their hands.
This was but a slight portion of retributive justice
upon the supercargo. The paper of the applicant,
after some particular details of severities alleged to
have been practised by the supercargo, states, " On
the 10th of May the French brig-of-war Alloinella
arrived, when we were, thank God, all put on board
of her, and landed at Gambia on the 11th of June,
and lodged in gaol, but were instantly liberated as
soon as the magistrates had examined the case, no
crime being recorded." The statement concludes
with the expression of determination to bring the
supercargo to public justice upon the arrival of the
other injured parties, and gives the names of the men
who were ironed, viz., Alfred Benness, Samuel Gil-
lin, William Hall, Edward Cadogan, Edward John-
son, Joseph King, William Laidler, and the carpen-
ter; and the names of those stated by the a?plicant
to have been murdered, viz,, Edward Johnson and
the carpenter.
The statement, which is dated, " Gambia, Ist July,
1844," is signed William Laidler and William Hall.
Sir JOHN PIRIE—How do you say these men were
murdered ?—They were poisoned in the hut; some
of the poison wag found, and pronounced by the me-
dical men to be destructive of life.

Sir JOHN neic—Have you brought any certifi-
cate or paper with you relative to the .case?—No.
IVilliam Hall and I are the only men here; all the
rest are scattered about.

Sir JOHN PIRIE—Is the ship in which you were
employed arrived yet ?—I do not know. We are only
just arrived. We were brought from Gambia in the
Rowena schooner ; Sir Thomas Ingram, the Go-
vernor, sent us over to England.
The applicant then showed one of the poisoned
arrows, which he said had been sent against the vessel
from the armed canoes.

Sir Join.; PIRIE—WeII, I shall write to the owner,
Sir Joseph Sharp, at Liverpool, immediately, upon
the subject. It is scarcely possible that such things
could have happened without the owners having, by
this time, received some intimation of it.

The applicant most solemnly declared that every
word he had written was perfectly true, and that as
many of the crew as survived would testify to the
accuracy of it.
Sir Jomc PiarE then sent the seamen to a place of
refuge, and wrote to the owner of the vessel, alludi:T
to the matters detailed, and requesting information
on the subject.

THE GREATEST PRESENT BENEFIT, AND THE
GREATEST FUTURE ADVANTAGES to those who attain
the average duration of life are secured to the assured in this
Office, a combination of advantages presented by no other in
London.
This Society is strictly a Mutual Assurance Society.
The principle adopted in the distribution of the profits is pecu-
liar to this office, and is at once safe, equitable, and favourable to
good lives. The surplus is reserved for those members who sur.
vive the period at which their premiums with accumulated interest
at five per cent. shall amount to the sums assured, and may be re-
ceived in cash, or applied in the reduction of the future premiums
or to the increase of the sum assured.
An ample Guarantee is secured by a temporary subscribed
Cal

ipital to be paid off as soon as it may be deemed expedient.

The 'Premiums are deduced from the Government experience,
and are accurately adjusted to the several ages. At early and
middle life they are about one.fourth lower than at most other
offices.

All the objects of Life Assurance may be effectually accom-
plished at this Office, and generally the Directors are prepared to
receive Proposals of any description involving the contingency of
human life.

More fully to extend the advantages of this Society, it is deter.
mined to establish Local Boards throughout the kingdom.

Office, 17, New Bridge street, Blackfriars.

has been wounded in that action. Time will tell what

EXTRAORDINARY DEATH OF

--- -
MISER.
A protracted investigation was gone into before
Win. Carter, Esq., the Coroner for Surrey, at the
Jolly Farmers, in the parish of Horne, near Godstone,
as to the death of George Murray, aged 60, a well-
known eccentric character, who has for many years
travelled about that part of the country, which took
place under very singular circumstances, and led to
the discovery of an amount in money which, although
he was known to be of a very penurious disposition,
he was never thought to possess.
The magistrates of the county having been in-
formed of the particulars connected with his death,
and the large sum of money that had been found upon
him, immediately communicated the facts to the co-
roner, who forthwith issued his warrant for the in-
quest. Upon the jury viewing the body, it was found
to be in a loathsome state of filth. The flesh was ac-
tually covered with living vermin; his shirt, such as
it was, must have been worn for months, while his
outer garments were but a bundle of rags.
Mr. Lane, the churchwarden of the parish, stated
that he had known the deceased for seven or eight
years, in consequence of his having travelled that part
of the country selling tapes, thread, and other trifles.
lle was in the habit of sleeping in barns and stables,
or any other place where he could get shelter, and
usually cooked his dinners under hedges, having
means to light a fire for that purpose. About the
middle of the day, on Monday week, witness (who
is an extensive farmer) was passing through one of
his fields when he saw the deceased sitting under
the hedge. Ile (witness) knew that he had been
ailing for some time, and crossed the field to ask him
how he was, when he replied that he felt very ill. It
was found that he was unable to walk, and a constable
was sent for, who procured a chair, in which he was
conveyed to a barn on the farm of Mr. lluggitt, in
which he said lie had last slept. He was here pro-
vided with nourishing food, and Mr. George Chap-
man, of Lingfield, surgeon, was sent for. In-
formation was also sent to the relieving-
officer, and arrangements were made for his ad-
mission into the union workhouse. Mr. Chapman
prescribed for him, and ordered what was
necessary, which was supplied to him in the barn.

DERBY AND ST. LEGER CLUBS.

The following is the reply from the Home-office,
to a communication requesting information as to the
legality or illegality of Derby and St. Leger Clubs :
" Whitehall, 19th August, 1844.
" Sir,—l am directed by Secretary Sir James Graham
to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of this date,
and to refer you for the information which you are de-
sirous of obtaining, to the Act prohibiting lotteries.
Any person offending against the statute is liable to be
proceeded against as therein directed.
" I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
" H. MANNERS SUTTON.
" Mr. Charles King, White Hart, 276, Oxford-street."
In observing on this letter, the Sunday Times
says :—" Notwithstanding the illegality of these
clubs, we think that, on an application to the Attor-
ney-General by the defendants, under the 46 Geo. 111.,
c. 148, s. 59, he would stay the actions, because that
statute provides that all actions for the penalties must
be commenced by the Attorney-General, and we do
r.ot think the 6 and 7 William IV., c. 66, which gives
half the penalty to the informer, dispenses with the
necessity of obtaining the Attorney-General's per-
mission to bring the actions. It may, however, be
open to doubt; therefore, once more we say, petition
Parliament on the sth of September."

MURDER of A CHILD. —A child, twenty-one
months old, named Elizabeth Carpenter, died o❑ Tues-
day at Bristol, in consequence of the ill-treatment it re-
ceived from a woman (not its mother) with whom its
father cohabited. During the absence of its father, the
unfeeling wretch was in the habit of boating the poor
infant about the head with her clenched fist. She had
been frequently heard to declare that she hated the child,
and that if the father did not take it away, she would
kill it. On Friday an inquest was held, and the jury re-
turned a verdict of " Wilful murder against Elisabeth
Light," the woman whose brutal treatment had occa-
sioned the poor child's death.

LAMBETH-S7 REET.

Thomas Charlton Cowley was brotight up before
the Hon. C. Norton, on his remand, for levying libe-
ral contributions, in the shape of board, lodging, and
necessaries, on several tavern-keepers at the East-end
Mrs. Howard, landlady of the Red Lion, Penning-
ton-street, London Docks, stated that he had not only
introduced himself, but one of his friends, to her pub-
lic-house, and, by his plausible story and address, had
got in her debt to the amount of 81.
The parties now said they would not be at the
trouble to prosecute, and would not press the case.
The.prisoner still persisted in saying that he was
one of the most wealthy landed proprietors at Port
Lincoln, as Judge Cooper well knew and could prove,
and would give a mortgage on his estate to Mrs.
Howard, or any other of his prosecutors.
As none of the parties pressed the case, the prisoner
was discharged.
He assured the magistrate that the estate was well
able to pay, and he would import some of the 200
bullocks he had upon it, for the purpose of satisfying
the complaints.

FRANCE AND MOROCCO.

News from Marshal Bugeaud of the 14th has been
received. The Marshal, -wishing to prevent the re-
union and augmentation of the Morocco army, which
every day received additional reinforcements, marched
forwards from his camp.

The Moroquing stood upon the defensive, with a
mass of cavalry of about 20,000 men. It appears that
the Marshal has gained a complete victory, but parti-
culars are not yet known.

saw the door of the Windmill opened, and five persons
let out. He attempted to go in but the landlord
prevented him. Witness, however, contrived to get
in, and searched the house by himself. He first found
a man asleep in the tap-room, and then proceeded to
the parlour, upon which the landlord said he had no
business to enter, as there was no persons there, but
private friends. He, however, went in, and counted
five men, two of whom were smoking, and one asleep.
There was no liquor upon the table, but witness saw
a female concealing two tumblers, one of which he
found contained gin and water.
