WHITEHALL, AUGUST 19.
The Right Honourable Sir Nicholas Conyngham
Tyndal, Knt., Lord Chief Justice of her Majesty's
Court of Common Pleas, has appointed Henry
Kent Norris, of Devizes, in the county of Wilts,
Gent., to be one of the Perpetual Commissioners for
taking the acknowledgments of deeds to be executed
by married women, under the Act passed for the Abolition
of fines and recoveries, and for the substitution of more simple
modes of assurance, in and for the county of Wilts.

Alderman SIDNEY entertained a different opinion-as far as
regarded Christ's Hospital at any rate, for the Governors of
that institution had manifested the strongest dispOgithill to
show a total disregard for the authority d the Lord Mayor.
Alderman WlLsozr vould hot be silent when he saw so
plainlo- attempts made to take away the privileges of the
Corporation.—(Hear, hear.) It was his firm opinion that.
the only place in which the question could be settled, was in
a court of law, and he trusted that an appeal would be
made as soon as possible to that authority.—(Hear, hear.)
The motion was then ageed to, and the Court adjourned.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.
Daniel Garrett, who stands charged with having com-
mitted several robberies at railway termini, was further ex-
amined before Mr. Alderman Hughes Hughes. Mr. Alder-
man Lucas and the Lord Mayor elect were also On the bench.
Mr. Clarkson attended with Mr. Nash, from Messrs. Swain
and Co.'s, to prosecute on behalf of the Great Western Rail-
way, the South Western Railway, and the Brighton Railway;
Mr. Humphreys attended to support three or four charges on
the part of the Birmingham Railway; and Mr. Thwaites
appeared en behalf of the prisoner.
Since the last examination great exertions had been used
by advertising the property found at the prisoner's lodgings,
and otherwise, to procure additional evidence.
Mr. Clarkson stated, in opening the case, that besides
showing that the prisoner was the person who stole Mr.
Prance's letter-case, for receiving which Maynard had been
already committed, he proposed to charge him with stealing
some property belonging to Dr. Daniel, a medical gentleman
residing at Bath, and to Mr. Winter, of Motcombe-street.
It would be remembered, that Mr. Prance's loss
occurred on the dth of July, and that on the 12th
he received an anonymous letter that his letter-case
and contents were safe, and might be recovered for a
liberal reward. By showing' that this letter was in the hand-
writing of the prisoner, he should fix him with the posses-
sion of the property four days after it was stolen. On the
18th a second anonymous letter was sent, complaining that no
attention had been paid to the first, and requiring a reward
to be immediately advertised, or the property would be placed
out of the control of the writer. An advertisement was ac-
cordingly published on the 23d of July, which produced a
third letter from the anonymous correspondent, stating that
his agent was at Sandhurst, and would write to Mr. Prance.
This introduced the agent, Maynard, upon the scene, who
produced the stolen property. He should prove these three
letters to be in the handwriting of the prisoner, by calling
Captain Culpepper, in whose service the prisoner was for a
time. He should show that the prisoner visited Maynard in
the Compter the day after he was apprehended, and that
when the prisoner was taken into custody he made that
desperate resistance which might be expected from a man
who wal Wriscious that he was deeply involved. Mr. Clark-
so: adverted to a miserable device which had been resorted
to by some of the prisoner's friends or companions, who had
sent to the females of Mr. Nash's family a letter containing
dreadful threats, if he pursued his charges against the pri-
soner. It would completely fail in jts object, for Mr. Nash
would persist in endeavouring to the utmost to bring to jus-
tice not only the prisoner, but all his companions.
Captain Culpepper, of Stanhope-street, was then sworn.
He said the prisoner was in his service as butler for the sea-
son of 1843. He saw his handwriting, but not frequently;
but he had a recollecticn of his hand, and had received a let-
ter from him respecting giving him a character.
Cross-examined b3i Mr. Thwaites—He used to disburse
small sums occasionally, and make out bills, which witness
settled and tore up. Never saw the prisoner write, and did
not swear to his writing.
Mr. Alderman H. HUGHES said no person swears to hand-
writing, they only swear to their belief.
Captain Culpepper said that was exactly the case. To the
best of his belief two of the letters produced were written by
the prisoner. To the other he could not speak.
Cross-examined—He received a good character of the pri-
soner from Lord Falkland, and gave the prisoner a good cha-
racter when he discharged him. Had never seen him write.
Could not say that he was able to write, or that the bills tha
prisoner brought to him had not been written by one of his
fellow-servants; but he presumed the letter was written by
prisoner, and it was from that letter he spoke more particu-
larly as to the prisoner's handwriting, because the prisoner
said it was his writing.
Joseph Collard, the superintendent, was next examined.
He said the prisoner resisted with great violence till Mr. Nash
spoke of pistols. Among the things he found at the pri-
soner's lodgings was a pencil-case with a chequered wafer
-tamp at the end, which corresponded with the seal on the
three letters produced.
Mr. Clarkson said this served to fix upon the prisoner the
writing of the letter, respecting which the captain expressed
a doubt.
Mr. Thwaites said it did no such thing. These pencil-
cases were manufactured by the gross exactly alike.
Collard continued—He apprehended Maynard on the sth
of August, and on the 6th he saw the prisoner come out of
the Giltspur-street Compter, where Maynard was.
George Edis Evans, a turnkey at the Compter, identified
the prisoner as a person who had an interview with Maynard
on the 6th. The prisoner gave his name as John Smith for
entry in the visitor's book. Maynard was short of money,
and the prisoner told him he might have 5/. if he liked. The
prisoner replied, a sovereign would be sufficient, and it was
given to witness to put to his account, prisoners, before con-
viction, having the option to support themselves. The pri-
soner and Maynard appeared to be well acquainted.
Mr. Nash deposed to finding some pieces of paper in the
grate at Maynard's house, in Howland-street, which, upon
being pasted together, appeared to be a rough draft and
nearly a verbatim copy of the letter dated the 12th of July,
which Captain Culpepper had identified as in the prisoner's
writing.
Louisa Liideman, of 19, Queen-street, Edgware-road, iden-
tified the prisoner as having lodged at her father's house till
the, 12th of August, when he went away. She had seen
Maynard in Newgate, and recognised him as a person who
called four or five times to see the prisoner Garrett. May-
nard called within a week before he (Maynard) was appre-
hended.
Mr. Alderman H. HUGHES asked Collard if he had ever
seen the prisoner at the railway?—Collard replied he had
not, but there were other persons who had.
Mr. Clarkson said that was as far as he could carry that
case to-day. He proceeded to the second charge.
Dr. John Bamfylde Daniel, of Bath, deposed that he
was a traveller en the Great Western Railway in the early.
part of August, and he lost a black leather portmanteau,
containing apparel to the value of several pounds. The
train came in at dusk, and there was some confusion in
getting the articles out of the luggage van. There were
several portmanteaus. He saw a man call to a porter to
hand him one which witness believed to be his own, and he
went round to the person who had obtained possession of it.
This was the prisoner. He asked the prisoner whether he
had his own portmanteau. The prisoner replied, " there can
be no mistake about this." Witness rejoined that it was
very like his portmanteau. The prisoner said nothing
farther, but got into a cab and was driven away. Witness
went back to the luggage receptacle to see if his portman-
teau was there, but could not find it. He had a strong re-
collection of the prisoner's features, but he had no spectacles
on then.
The prisoner was ordered to take off his spectacles and put
on his hat.

The witness said he was sure the prisoner was the same
person. He had not seen him on the road to London, but
only in the terminus.
Mr. Alderman H. HUGHES supposed he looked at him
closely because he suspected he was taking away his trunk.
The witness said it was just so. He kept him in sight as
long as he could.
Mr. Clarkson remarked that the tracing of the contents of
the trunk to the prisoner's lodging would prove that he was
not mistaken.
Witness identified two gold watches, some gloves, and
other articles, of which he delivered a list. He also deli-
vered in a list of articles which had not been found, of the
value of 10/.
The cross-examination elicited nothing material, and in
re-examination the witness stated that there were some cards
with his address in the portmanteau.
Mr. Alderman H. HUGHES said, if the portmanteau had
been taken in mistake, or found, the finder could have had
no difficulty in discovering the owner.
The witness—Certainly not.
Collard proved the finding of the articles identified by the
doctor. He brought them from the prisoner's lodgings, at
No. 40, Great North-street, Lisson-grove. He produced also
the portmanteau, which he recovered on Saturday last from
the possession of a Mr. Hawkins of Kennington-green.
Mrs. Noble, of Great North-street, deposed that the room
where the articles were found was rented by the prisoner. He
was introduced by a man who said he was a neighbour, but
who was a stranger. She had no reference. The prisoner,
when she asked his name, said he would tell her that another
time. He came to her on the 13th of September.
Mr. Hawkins, a wine merchant, at Kennington-green,
said he knew the prismier from having recently lodged at
the Cock Tavern at Kennington, where witness occasionally
spent an evening. He lodged there for a short time about a
month ago. The prisoner said he had been travelling, and
was going on the continent, and was encumbered with too
much luggage. He wished to dispose of some, and took wit-
ness up into his room and offered him vaaious articles for sale.
Witness bought them for 11. 18s. 6d. Besides the portman-
teau (identified by Dr. Daniel) there was a carpet bag and a
hat box marked " Winter." The prisoner said he had lost a
bunch of keys, and had been obliged to break open all his
trunks. Witness thought this was probable. There were
some articles of apparel in the lot which he had since dis-
posed of. Hearing of the railway robberies, he thought it
proper to communicate with Mr. Collard.
After some desultory conversation, as there was no chance
of going through the other cases that evening, Mr. Alderman
Hughes Hughes adjourned the hearing till the next day.
