LAW INTELLIGENCE.
INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, July 24.

mind, and when called upon to plead, said "Guilty," in a low,
plaintive tone.
Mr. Justice COLTMAN, in passing the last sentence of the
law upon this wretched woman, was much affected. The
Learned Judge said the present case was one of the most
distressing it had been his lot to witness since he had sat on
the judicial bench. By the prisoner's own confession she had
destroyed the life of one of her husband's children by a
former wife, and she had not hesitated to destroy the off-
spring of her own womb. He could hold out no hope of
mercy being extended to her in this life. She must prepare
to meet that doom the laws of the cguntry made him pro-
nounce, and that was—that she be taken to the place from
whence she came, thence to the place of execution, there to be
hung by the neck till she was dead; and he hoped the Lord
would have mercy on her wretched soul.
Three cases of highway robbery were tried during the day,.
and in the Civil Court Lord Denman disposed of seven eem-
mon juries, none of which were of any interest except to the
parties.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(YESTERDAY:)
CLERKEN WELL.

Two men, named Ray and Long, who have been re-
peatedly convicted at police courts, were brought up in
custody, of Inspector Barton, of the G division, charged
with the following daring attempt 'at fraud:—
The inspector said he was on duty in the station-
house at 13a,gniege-wells on the previous night, when
the prisoners boldlyentered the charge room, and, in a
peremptory manner, claimed the interference of the
police. They said they were recruits belonging to the
90th Regiment of Infantry, and had been billeted upon
the Union Tavern, in Baker-street, but the landlord,
Mr. Anderson, had refused to receive them. Thereupon
they produced a billet. Witness inspected it, and found
that it was indeed a genuine billet, which had been signed
by Sergeant Scotchmer, of the G division of police,
but, on closer examination, he discovered that the origi-
nal date of the billet, " 16th July,. 1844," bad been
erased, and 23d July, 1844, stffstituted. Witness asked
them from whom they received the billet, and they re-
plietrfrom Sergeant Lambert, of the East India Com-
pany's service, and again peremptorily demanded that
the police would enforce their reception at the Union.
The inspector, however, determined upon furnishing
them with a reception in a very different place, for
knowing that the East India Company could not billet,
he locked up "the recruits" who immediately acknow-
ledged the fraud.
Mr. Conine.—What do you think their object was?
Inspector Barton—l have no doubt but their design
was to rob the house, for they never asked for the money
(25.), which the publican who refuses to lodge them is
bnind to give them.
The landlord of the Union described the prisoners
conduct as most overbearing; he refused to lodge them
unless at the instance of their corporal.
Alfred Bennett, a staff sergeant, and a recruiting
officer, living at 17, Duke-street, Westminster, deposed
that the prisoners were not recruits, but were constantly
lounging about those places' *here -recruits were en-
listed, fastening themselves upon inexperienced young
men, and plundering them whenever they had an oppor-
tunity. They were the most artful villains he had ever
known. He could not tell how the billet got into their
possession.
Mr. °WIDE inquired for the precept (a printed docu-
ment issued from the Horse Gilards, and authorising the
billeting of a certain number of recruits), which was,
after some hesitation, handed to the magistrate.
James Stephens, a sergeant in the 90th regiment, like-
wise deposed that the prisoners had not been enlisted into
that regiment, and to which the billet found on the
prisoners belonged.
Mr. CO➢IBE—How did this billet get into the pri-
soners' possession ? Sergeant- Stephens—l can't tell.
Mr: Coaing (holding up the precept)—How many re-
cruits received billets on the 16th of July, for which the
precept-is dated ? Sergeant Bennett—Sixteen.
Mr. °WIDE —IV hy. the precept states three- and-twenty.
Sergeant Stephens--Well, so three-and-twenty might,
if they liked, have got billets, ;but only sixteen were in
attendance when the billets were distributed.
Mr. COMI2E—But it further appeared, by this docu-
ment, that a halfpenny each was allowed for each of the
three-and-twenty to pay the publicans for stationery,
&c. How many recruits received the halfpenny ? Ser-
geant Bennett—Sixteen.
Mr.- °WIDE-But three-andLtwenty have been received
and taken out of the public purse.
Sergeant Stephens—They would have received them
if they had been all present.
Mr. ComnE—lt is quite clear there is a system of public
plunder going on, and you will, if you persevere in this
attempt to deceive me, draw some very strong observa-
tions. The whole thing seems grossly irregular, and the
more you say the worse you make it.
The prisoners said they bought the billet for twopence,
from a recruit.

Mr. COMBS committed them to the sessions, again
observing on (he gross irregularity of the mode in which_
the billets were distributed.
George South, a cow-keeper, residing in Portland-place,
Islington, was charged with cruelly maltreating a horse.
Mr. Thomas, secretary to the Society for the Protection of
Animals, Pa appeared to sustain the complaint.
It appeared from the evidence that the defendant's horse
strayed into the grounds of Mr. Peter Gentle, who seized
him, and was taking him to the pound along the public road,
when the defendant came up, and directed Mr. Gentle to let
him go. Mr. Gentle refused, whereupon Mr. South 'legged
the horse for ;I long time in a cruel manner, endeavouring to
oblige the animal to burst from his grasp. He did not succeed,
however, and was.summoned for his cruelty.
Mr. COMBE fined him 21.—The fine was paid at once.
BOW-STREET.

Tuesday, George Gator. a constable of the F division, ap-
peared before Mr. 'Pwyford, to answer a complaint preferred
against him by Mrs. llogg, wife, of a hosier and glover, 73,
Fleet-street, for taking her into custody against her will,' and
using brutal conduct towards her.
Mr. Corder, the clerk to the guardians, and Mr. Boswood,
relieving officer of the Strand union, attended to watch the
case, as the decision of the Magistrate was expected to guide
the police in future respecting the course to be pursued by
them regarding deserted children.
Mr. Hogg stated, that on Tuesday evening, the 21st inst.,
about seven o'clock, he was returning to Essex-street, ac-
companied by his wife, her niece, and his children, and, on
turning round to ascertain the cause of their delay at the
corner of Essex-street, he- was perfectly astounded at seeing
them surrounded by a mob of persons, among whom was the
defendant. On going up, he found his wife in a very agitated
state, and with difficult), she informed him that the con-
stable was about to take her to the station house. He imme-
diately accosted the defendant, demanding to know if his
wife was really in custody, and he replied she was, and that
she should accompany him to the station-house. Witness
then heard somethins, about a lost child, there being a child
standing in the crowd at the time, hut he did not ask the de-
fendant why his wife was in custody, and he appealed to his
sympathy on her behalf, pointing out that she was far gone
in the family way, surrounded by her four children, of which
he took no notice, and having procured a cab he had them
conveyed to a neighbour's house. He then came to the station,
and when thA charge was taking he thought the inspector on
duty appeared to sanction such 'an outrage on the liberty of
the subject.
In answer to the defendant witness said he did not see him
lay handi on his wife, and he allowed her to go to the station
in a cab while witness sat on the box.
Mr. Corder observed, that of late-cases of deserting children
in the streets were of frequent occurrence, in consequence of
which the police were obliged to use the utmost precaution,
and require the parties to accompany them and lay the
charge before a superior officer in the usual way.
In answer to further questions by the defendant, witness
denied having said his wife should not go the station unless
it was distinctly understood she was in custody, nor did he
see his wife bring the child to the defendant. •
Mrs. Hogg, who seemed in a very weakly state, said she
was in the Strand at the time in question, and seeing the de-
fendant on duty, she brought a little girl, about five years
old, who was crying at the corner of Essex-street, to him,
saying, " My- good man, will you take this child, and find
nut where she lives?" To which he replied, " No, madim, '
I shall not take the child, but take you." She then said,
" My good man, -what have I done that you should take
me?" and he again replied, " You are my prisoner, and you
must go with me to the station-house." Witness asked did
he suppose she wanted to take anything from the child, hav-
ing four of her own with her, but he made no other reply
than that she should go to the station, house, upon which her
husband came up.
Cross-examined by the defendant--In the confusion after-
wards he might have said he would take charge of the child
if witness would accompany him to the station. The child
was dressed in black, and witness was also dressed partly in
black. He might have also said, ‘4 If you leave the child
you must consider yourself in my custody."
The defendant, addressing the Magistrate, asked if a child
appearing under the protection of any person, was brought
to him as being deserted, was he obliged to take a mere asser-
tion in such a case?
Mr. TWYFORD said it was not his duty to give instruction
to a constable on such a subjeCt.
The defendant said he had acted under the impression that
the child might have been under the protection of the person
preferring the complaint.
Mr. TWYFORD said it could scarcely be called a mistaken
sense of duty, that because an individual called the attention
of a policeman to a destitute child, such persons ought to be
taken into custody, and he wished to hear the opinion of Mr.
Corder upon the subject.
Mr. Corder, assuming that the child was deserted—
Mr. TWYFORD—No, no ; it is given in evidence that the
complainant was surrounded by her family.
. Mr. Corder—lf she happened-to be the parent of the child
the constable acted very properly.
Mr. TWYroltn--No doubt the man thought he was acting
right, but hit happened in be wrong.
Mr. Corder said he could state most remarkable cases of
desertion where the parents appeared to be in very respect-
able circumstances.
The defendant, appealing to Mr. Corder, said he was told
on former occasions by the Strand union authorities, if lie
brought another deserter to them he should be reported to
the Commissioners, unless he also brought forward the parties
concerned ; and in the present case the complainant brought
the child to him by the hand.
Mr. Corder assured the Court that cases came under his
notice in which bribes to any extent had been offered to
screen the parties concerned:* '

Whitefriars, proved
that he was returning home with his wife when ho saw a
child without hat or bonnet, apparently in a bewildered
state, which led him to conclude it was lost. Mrs. Hogg,
with whom he was totally unacquained, came up at the
moment, and, after pointing it out to the defendant as lost,
she was told she should go to the station, which made her so
agitated she could not reply. Mr. Hogg then drew the at-
tention of the defendant to his wife's situation, after telling
him who he was ; at the same time volunteering to go
to the station instead of his wife, which the defendant re-
fused. Witness also drew the defendant's attention to the
complainant's situation, of which he took no notice ; but his
impression was that the defendant considered he was doing
his duty.
Mr. TWYFORD said if the case went before a jury the ex-
cuse of a mistaken sense of duty would be of very little avail,
and, as the case was of a novel nature, he would consult the
Chief Magistrate before he would give his decision.
Mr. Hogg said the subject seemed to involve a very

ec-
centric appearance, whose clothes were-Iguecdhidn
disordered,
rveedrTwho

wore a large gold cross suspended by a riband from his neck,
and who bore an open Bible in his hand, was placed at the
bar, before Mr. Bingham, charged with knocking at the
doors of several respectable inhabitants of Hoxton, without
having a reasonable excuse for so doing.
The defendant is well known in his neighbourhood, and
considered a lunatic. Some time ago he was removed to the
Islington workhouse, and kept in confinement, and afterwards
obtained 4001. damages in the Court of Common Pleas for
false imprisonment.
On being placed at the bar yesterday,
Mr. Vine, the chief clerk, asked, "Is your name James
Elliott ?" Defendant (delivering the whole sentence with
extreme rapidity before he could be stopped)—Yes. James
Elliott. Who gave you that name? My godfathers and
godmothers, &c. The defendant was proceeding but was
stopped by
Sergeant Dubois. who gave a long list of annoyances which
various persons had been subjected to by the defendant, in
his vagaries; some of them of a malignant and violent, others
of a ludicrous character.

Mr. BINGHAM asked the defendant if he wished to say any-
thing? The defendant—Yes, I do. It is all perfectly, true
what they say. gainst me; but the fact was, I was as drunk
as a fiddler.

ale sergeant said he had made inquiry, and found the de-
fendant's connexions highly respectable.
Defendant—Never mind that. 'You see, Sir (to the Magis-
trate) I have been travelling abroad for the last twenty-two
years, and only returned to England last night. I came
home in company with a very queer gentleman, who I rather
think was the Pope of Rome, but I lost him somehow, and
where he went to I can't tell ; but I'm sure he went to a place
too hot to hold him.—(Laughter.)
Mr. BINGHAM ordered him to pay a fine of 205., or a week's
imprisonment in the House of Correction.

Defendant said he had not twenty farthinol, but would
read the 3lagistrate a chapter out of the Bible worth 201.,
which he said was the same thing. He was about Acr do so,
when .he was removed by Sergeant Dubois, whom, when in
the yard, he struck a violent blow on the back of the head
with the Bible, 'which nearly knoeked him over a pile of
ladders, at the same time exclaiming, " So you won't listen
to the word of God, won't you? Then, d—n you, I'll make
you feel it." He was instantly secured, and locked up.
UNION-HALL.

John Edney, a commercial traveller, was charged before
Mr. Traill with furiously driving and endangering the life of
John Williamson, a lad, the son of a policeman.
It appeared that on Thursday last the defendant was ob-
served in a gig, driving at the rate of twenty miles an hour,
down the Kent-road. In the course of his career a boy
named Williamson, happening to be off the pavement, was
knocked down, and the wheel of the vehicle passed over both
Ins legs, and injured them very seriously, but, extraordinary
to relate, did not break either of them.

The defendant said that he had been struck by a person
in a gig on before him, and that it was to overtake his as-
sailant that he put his horse into a gallop, when the accident
occurred.

The injured boy's father said that the defendant had ex-
hibited great regret at the accident, and had engaged to pay
the surgeon ; therefore he did not wish to prosecute.
Mr. TRAn.r, said that he was bound to inflict some punish-
ment on the defendant, and accordingly fined him 405., and
a further sum of 3/. for damage.

THE LATE FATAL OCCURRENCE
AT BLACKFRIARS-BRIDGE.
ADJOURNED INQUEST.
The jury, who had been impannelled to inquire into the
circumstances of the late accident at Blackfriars-bridge, re-
assembled yesterday at one, in the St. Ann's Schoolroom,
Church-entry, Blackfriars. Upon the names having been
called over, the proceedings were opened by Mr. Joseph
Payne, the Deputy-Coroner.
Mr. Evans, of the firm of Newbon and Evans, attended to
watch the proceedings on the part of the Watermen's
Company.
The remaining four bodies, the subiect of the present in-
quiry, were Maria Pulheston, aged 23, Benjamin Breadcott,
aged 4, Mary Ann Breadcott, aged 10, and Rhoda Bread-
cott, aged 14.
The CORONER said. he would take that opportunity of
stating his satisfaction that attention had been drawn to
this circumstance there and in another place. He referred to
the application made by Mr. Under-Sheriff Anderton and re-
sponded to by the Lord Mayor, which he hoped would have
the effect of preventing a recurrence of any similar calamity
at any future time.
The case of Rhoda Broadcott was first taken.
Margaret Canning, 2, Holiday yard, was the first witness
examined—She was a married female, and was on the wooden
bridge at Blackfriars on the night of Monday, from seven till
nine o'clock. Saw Mr. Breadcott and his boy. The father
was on the bridge next to her, and the little boy was stand-
ing in front of him. Witness also observed one of the girls,
she believed the tallest, on one .side of him. She was there
at the time the bridge broke, and she fell into the water, but
saved herself by clinging to the piece of the bridge that was
broken. She did not see anything of the girl or boy after
but saw Mr. Breadcott without his bat, being led along by
the houses. She paid nothing to get on to the bridge. She
did not think that on the broken part the people exceeded
thirty or forty. There were a great many on the pier and
barge, but that was the number on the bridge broken. She
heard a slight crack, and the bridge seemed leaning
on one side like a vessel. Heard several guns
fire immediately before the accident. She made an
observation to Mr. Breadcott at the time she heard the crack,
but he did not hear her. Observed that one of the water-
men was active in turning off the children, but he seemed not
to pay attention to the grown up persons. Did not see any
money offered or taken for admission on to the bridge. She
must have seen such had it taken place. The boys
were collected ready for starting at the time, but they
had not done so. Her opinion, judging from what
she saw was, that the whole was an accident arising from
the number of persons. She did make an observation to Mr.
Breadcott, that she thought there were too many of them at
that particular part of the bridge.
By a juror—There were no passengers passing from
steamboats at the time of the accident. The people
stood in single line, and there was a place
left in the middle. Heard a second crack, which was a
Very loud one, and then she made the best of her way
to the pier. When she fell into the water she clung to the
broken pier, still holding her child, and she was afterwards
rescued by some one. A gentleman tried to save her who
was present there. She stepped on to a part of the 'wood that
was still affixed, and so was pulled ashore.
Mr. John Breadcott was then sworn—He lived at 23, New-
gate-market, and he was a butcher. The deceased children
were his. Rhoda was in her fifteenth year, Mary Anne
was ten years old, and the boy, Benjamin George, was four
years old. All the three were with him upon the bridge, on
the Monday evening. They paid nothing for going on it.
The CORONER said that the witness might make any state-
r ment he pleased, as he did not wish to question him as to the
whole painful particulars.
Witness continued—He thought the place he was standing
on was perfectly safe ; and he thought there was great neg-
lect in allowing the people to stand there. He saw no police-
men there, and he was not once informed that there was any
danger. The accident took place in a moment, and he
found himself, with his children, in the water. He was on
the bridge about thirty minutes. Did not hear the last
witness make any observation. Could not describe particu-
larly how it happened, as it was all momentary. Did ndt
hear any crack before the bridge broke. He thought he
might be about two yards from the stairs. There might be
about thirty persons there.
By the Conoxim—Did not,wbile standing there, hear any
person warn people off the bridge, or he would have left at
once.
By a Juror—lt might be half-past seven, or twenty
minutes to eight o'clock when he went on. There was no
crash, all was quite easy. lie did not see many where he
was. He took the children with him to see the rowing
match. He is not deaf; and did not hear guns firing, or
the bridge crack, or the last witness make any observation.
He was pulled out by one of the pier-men.
Francis Tapley said he was a fish-salesman, in Lower
Thames-street, and had just landed from one of the iron
one
boats.

were about starting; and turning round, be looked towards
the river. At the same moment the bridge gave way. He
should say, that there were from eighty to one hundred on
the wooden bridge altogether.
The CORONER—How persons differ in their estimate of
numbers.
Witness stood for some minutes, and therefore had an
opportunity ofjudging. The principal persons on the bridge
were looking at the rowing, and he never saw persons
crowded closer, all up and down the stairs, than they were.
When' the bridge broke, most of the persons ran back, but
he (witness) ran forward, and was instrumental in dragging
two out. The bridge fell right in half. Part rested against
the stone-work. He thought there might be sixteen persons
saved. The girl Rhoda was picked out by a person in a
skiff, who was not now present. lie had no doubt that the
accident arose from the number of persons on the bridge.
Thomas Eves, 303 City policeman—He did not see the
accident occur, but went there immediately afterwards, and
saw the girl Rhoda pulled out by a lighterman, who was not
present, and whose name he did not know. She was raised
by one of the drags. Saw also the female, Maria Pulleston,
got out by the same man. It was about an hour after the
bridge was broken. Saw no other bodies found.
By a juror—He, saw at least sixty persons on the bridge
half an hour before it gave way. The watermen were en-
deavouring to drive them- off, but the moment their backs
were turned they went on again. He would have had no hesi-
tation in assisting to turn them offif he had been applied to.
The accident was solely attributable to the number of persons
upon it. The boats were nearly arranged, and he had heard
the guns fire twice—the second time Just as the bridge
broke.
Thomas Jones, waterman' 2 Pye-court, Mansell-street,
Goodrnan's-fields.—About half-past 7, heard a great noise
all at once, and ran to the barges to make his boat fast.
Saw a little boy under a skiff struggling hard. Jumped off
the barge and swam to him ; got him into the boat and then
got in himself. After he had put that boy ashore, he went
out again, rind picked up the boy Benjamin alive, but he
died in his arms. He left him with the surgeon, and then
went out in his boat again, with a young man in his com-
pany. The young man brought up Mary Ann. Took her
ashore and laid her on the same barge as he had laid the little
boy before. She was dead.
hy a Juror—The boy was not floating. He was picked off
the ground by means ofa staff.
Mr. Hutchinson, surgeon—Went to the Glaziers' Arms at
a little before eight o'clock. Found the body of Mary Ann
Breadcott, who had been just carried in. Had her wrapt •in
warm blankets, and did all that was usual in such cases to restore
animation. The means of resuscitation were continued for •
one hour and a half, but without success. About ten minutes
after the boy was brought in by a gentleman, who said he
was a surgeon, and who had been trying to restore anima-
tion in the barge, and had him afterwards brought to the
Glaziers' Arms. He exhibited no signs of life. The other
daughter was brought in also, but she having been upwards
of an hour in the water, it was perfectly useless to try to
restore her. The female Pulleston was brought in last. Death
in all the cases had resulted Men drowning.
Edward Thomas Pulleston, Jerusalem-court, St. John's-
square, Clerkenwell, currier—The deceased Maria was his
daughter. She would be 23 next November. He was on
Blackfriars-bridge at the time of the accident. Did not
know that his daughter was On the platform. Saw it break.
Would think that there were forty to fifty on it at the time.
heard a crash, and noticed the people struggling in the water.
Did not know his daughter was there till lie got home.
Eves recalled—The oody was found on the left hand of the
broken bridge.
Witness continued—Saw two of the pier-men rendering
every assistance at the time of the accident.
The CORONER said, that having gone so fully into the case
cn the former occasion, he would not now detain them by any
extended remarks. It seemed to him in substance the same
in evidence as formerly, but if they saw any difference they
would, of course, consult as to their verdict, bat if not, they
would return the same verdict as before.
The jury at once returned a verdict of " Accidental Death"
in each case, and added an opinion, that there was no blame
to be attached to the pier proprietors.

Some idea of the influx of visitors to the Southampton
Agricultural Show may be formed from the fact that, in andi-
tioil to the regular trains, there were four special trains (doing
the distance in two hours and a half), each crowded with
people.

MARKET NEWS.-(YESTERDAY•)

CORN-EXCHANGE. ,
In to-day's market rather an extensive number of Mon-
day's unsold samples of English Wheat were on offer; but
the fresh arrivals were very limited. The demand for all de-
scriptions was extremely dull; and prices were barely sup"
ported. Foreign Wheat, both free and in bond, was a mere
drug, and almost nominal in value. In spring Corn under
lock we heard of no sales. Barley and Malt were excessively
heavy, and the turn lower. Oats, Beans, Peas, and Flour
commanded scarcely any attention.
