M-ORNING, AUGUST 10, 1844.

Mr. Mellor 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
shilling. A point of law having b}•en 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 .appli«-d at
the gaol fdr permission to see her husband in the pre
sence of an officer, and it, is supposed that at that inter-
view the articles mentioned in the indictment found their
may 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 upun 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 CI RC U IT.—Chester, Aug. 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 prosecntrix 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 bad 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. lionlevy, 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.
Ills LonDSasp mid, 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. IC, 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 ?
Thit Learned JUDGE—I think not.

Mr. TOWNSEND then addressed the jury, contending
that they could not find the prisoner guilty if they were
of opinion that the offence was committed against the
consent of the prosecutrix.
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 LonDsate, 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.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(YESTERDAY.)
CLERKEIV WELL.

Mr. William Snowdon, a tallow chandler, residing at
4, Red Lion-street, Holborn, was charged with unlaw-
fully detaining three receipts for church-rates.
Mr. Boydell appeared for the defendant, and Mr.
Church on behalf of the parish of St. George the Martyr.
The complainant was Mr. William Parker, collector
for the parish of St. George-the-Martyr. He stated that
on the sth instant, he went to the house of. Mr. Snowdon,
to collect church• rates. Under the impression that the
defendant would at once pay him, he placed the receipts
-on the table, but the defendant took them up and refused
to pay more that! U I Is. 4d., the full sum being
'21.85. He positively declared he would not give up the
receipts. -
Mr. Boyden said he would cut the matter short by ad-
mitting that his client had detained, and still detained,
the receipts, but he complained of having been subjected
to a very great injustice. A rate of sixpence in the
pound had hem made and collected ; that was the full
sum which had been assessed and entered in the parochial
rate-book—the utmost the Act of Parliament permitted.
A supplementary rate had, however, been subsequently
made without any.right or authority whatever, and that
rate Mr. Snowdon had paid, believing it to have been a
just and legal rate. Every'other parishoner had refused
to pay this supplementary rate, and his client, finding
such to be the case, considered that he was grossly im-
posed upon. Not a farthing of this supplementary rate
had been enforced, or was sought to be enforced.

Mr. Duneombe, a solicitor", who chanced to be in
Court, said they had no right. whatever to make this
supplementary rate.
Mr. COMBE said he could not try the legality of the
rate. What he had•to deal with was the detention of
the receipts, for which as yet no sufficient reason bad
been urged.
Mr. Boydell said he had no objection to give up the
receipts.. The defendant had detained the receipts for
the sum of IDs. Bd. he had paid as the supplemental
rate, and paid the remainder of the church-rates which
had been demanded.
Mr. Parker complained of the insulting manner in
which Mr. Snowdon had always treated him when he ap-
plied to him for the rates. This was not the place to
try the legality of the supplemental rates.
Mr. Snowdon indignantly denied the accusation of
having ever insulted Mr. Parker.
Mr. comBE decided that the receipts must be given up,
and that the defendant must pay the costs.
QUEEN-SQUARE.

Louisa Manning, a pretty, showily-dressed young wo-
man, who has been frequently committed to the House
of Correction, from this office, for disorderly conduct in
the public streets, at unseasonable hours, was charged
by policeman 65 B with the following conduct:—He said
he found the defendant in Quern's-buildings, at three
o'clock that morning, in the society of four or five men,
who were very noisy and riotous. He ordered them to
move on, and they all complied with his request except
the defendant, who went a short distance forward,
and began shouting and laughing in a manner
altogether so different from what he had ever heard
before from 6' female lips divine," that he cautioned her
as to the consequences of a repetition of such conduct.
The defendant, however, persisted in disturbing the
peace of the neighbourhood, and many of the inhabitants
threw up their windows to ascertain the cause of the
noise in the street. Finding his remonstrances of no
avail, he tried to take the defendant into custody ; but
h in
n' the e e pavement, this was no easy matter, as Miss Manning threw herself
o and resisted his efforts and the com-
Pffaorts'oefotthers who came to his assistance, with
so much determination, that they experienced more than
ordinary difficulty in conveying her to the station-house.
• The defendant simply admitted the truth of the con-
stable's statement, and was committed to her old quarters
for the space of ten days.
James end Lucy Orchard, * young couple, were
charged with pawning a pair of sheets, the property of
James Bagley, a publican, carrying on business in the
Grosvenor-road, in whose house they had occupied an
apartment since Christmas.
The defendants admitted that they pledged the sheets,
but not with a felonious object, as they intended to
redeem them in a few days.
The woman was discharged, but the man was re-
manded until Tuesday, to give the police time to make
inquiries respecting him. He was said to be a suspected
person.

MONUMENT TO THE POLITICAL MARTTRS.—WC
-observe with much satisfaction, by an advertisement in
to-day's paper, th.st an admirable site for the monument
to Muir, Palmer, Gerrald, likirying, and Margarot, has
at last been obtained on the Calton Hill ; and that the
foundation stone is to be laid by Mr. Hume, M.P., on
Wednesday, the 21st inst. To the 3001. originally contri-
buted to the Edinburgh monument by the London Com-
mittee, 3001. more is to be added from the same source,
in consideration of the conspicuous site which the Edin-
burgh Committee has been so fortunate as to obtain ; so
that the monument will probably be raised nearly 120
feet high. Prom the North Bridge, the Mound, and
many other places, it will be seen to great advantage,
towering above every monument or building in its
vicinity, the symbol of the victory of liberal principles
over the old Tory persecuting spirit—the triumph ofjus-
tice.over injustice. The foundation of such a monu
ment should not be laid in silence, with none for attend-
ants but the members of the Edinburgh Committee.
Every citizsn who lo►es liberty and detests persecution
should be there ; an oration should be pronounce dby
some able and zealous Reformer ; and the occasion
should be improved in every possible way to advance the
cause of freedom, civil and religious.—Scotsman.
CHINESE EPICURISM.—Dogs are fatted and eaten
in China as a delicious food, tend are always found at the
tables of the great. Horseflesh, rats, and mice, are stan-
dard articles of food, and sold publicly at the butchers' ;
' a fact which reflects credit on the taste and good sense
of the Chinese, for there are not more cleanly animals
than those existing. Bird's nests are another article of
food ; but neither mud nor sticks enter ints their com-
position. The nests are found in the rocks along
the coast of Tonquin, &c., &c., and are built by birds
resembling the swallow. They are constructed, as is
supposed, of a small species of sea-fish, cemented by a
glutinous matter exuding from the bird itself; and when
usually formed resenible the rind of a large candied
citron. Bear's paws form another favourite dish. They
are rolled in pepper and nutmeg, and dried in the sun.
When about tá be dressed they are soaked in rice-water
to make them soft, and then boiled in the gravy of a
kid, and seasoned with various spices.—From Captain
Pidding's Chinemi Olio and Tea Talk, No. 15.
ACCIDENT AT BIRMINGHAM.—At Birmingham, on
Tuesday, Mr, John Riches, builder, and alabourer in his •
employ, were killed by the falling of a wall, in a house in
which alterations were going on. •

MARKET NEWS.-(YESTERDAY.)
CORN—EXCIIANGE.
Since Monday, scarcely any fresh arrivals of English
Wheat have taken place for our market. The stands
were scantily tilled with samples of both Red and White,
while there was rather morebusiness doing in the article,
at full prices. Foreign Wheat was held ..ith more firm-
ness, but there was not much passing in it. The su:ply
of Barley was only moderate, while the sale tbr it was
inactive, at late rates. Malt moved off slowly, at pre-
vious quotation. There was rather more demand for
Oats, arid the best feed were 61 per quarter higher.
Beans, Peas, and Flour as last quoted.

Although the supply of Beasts on sale here was by no
means extensive, we have to report a very dull inquiry
for Beef, and Monday's quotations were with difficulty
supported. We had on sale 30 Oxen and Cows from
Rotterdam, and 100 Scots from Aberdeen. Prime old
Downs were scarce, and in demand, at full prices. In
