LAW AND POLICE.

as a wholesale warehouseman in Wood-street, Cheap-
side, passed his final examination on Tuesday. At the
close, Mr. Thomas applied for protection on the part of
the bankrupt. Mr. Commissioner Pane—lf he asks at
once for his certificate, and an early day to be named for
that purpose, I shall grant him his protection ; but if
not, I shall leave him entirely to the mercy of his cre•
ditors. Mr. Thomas—The bankrupt states that he has
no fear as to his protection, and does not apply now for
his certificate.

At the Liverpool Assizes Mr. Aldis, formerly an

At Marylebone, David Garrow, a boy about fourteen
years of age, in the service of Mr. Salter, a butcher,
carrying on basiness in Church-street, Portman-market,
was brought up for re-examination, charged with having
driven over a respectable elderly female, named Sarah
Bath, who, from the very serious injury inflicted upon
her, was unable to attend. The prisoner was bailed by
his master and his father, who undertook that he should
be forthcoming on the 17th of next month.
At the Greenwich police-court, Charles Reeves, an
upholsterer and furniture dealer, in Church-street,

aged couple, named Robert Reay, a crucible-maker, and
Sarah Reay, his wife, whose lives were despaired of for
some days. The prisoner, who had previously made a
defence that he was first attacked by Reay and his
family, and that he was beset by numbers before he
struck a blow, wished his witnesses to be called. Mr.
Broderip said he had already informed the prisoner that
he could not hear his witnesses; but he could call whom
he pleased at the Central Criminal Court, to which
place ho was about to send him. lie committed him
for trial.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
OLD COURT.
(Before the RECORDER.)
George Middleditch, 29, a private in the Coldstream
Regiment of Guards, was indicted for feloniously ac-
cusing Major-General Thackeray of an offence of an
atrocious character, with intent to extortmoney from him-
Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Ballantine conducted the pro-
secution ; and Mr. Prendergast appeared for the pri-
soner.

The facts of the case will be fresh in the recollection of
our readers, as they have only recently appeared in the
police reports. It will be recollected that the prosecutor,
while on his way home, early on the evening of the 20th
of June, was accosted and annoyed by thu Arisoner,
until he at length called a policeman and gaXtchim ifi
charge, upon which the prisoner accused him 'of an
abominable offence. At the station-house the prisoner
was anxious not to press the charge, but he was com-
pelled to do so ; and upon an investigation taking
place before the magistrates at Marlborough-street
Police-office, the charge made by the prisoner was at
once discovered as having evidently only been made for
the purpose of extortion. Immediately upon this taking
place Major-General Thackeray preferred an indictment
for perjury against the prisoner, but as there were some
technical difficulties in making out that charge, the pre-
sent indictment for felony, under the statute, was even-
tually proceeded with.
When the evidence for the prosecution had been gone
into,
Mr. PRENDERGAST contended that inasmuch as no de-
mand for money, or any mention of money, had been
proved to have been made by the prisoner, the specific
charge contained in the indictment was not made out,
and that the defendant, therefore, ought to be acquitted.
The RECORDER said that in cases of this description
it very seldom happened that persons made a direct de-
mand for money. He thought that the intent and ob-
ject of the prisoner must be left to the jury.
Mr. PRENDERGAST then took som other technical ob-
jection, but the Recorder refused to stop the case.
His Lordship then summed up, and the jury immedi-
ately returned a verdict of Guilty.
The RECORDER, before passing sentence, told Mr.
Prendergast that he thought the better course would be
not to respite the judgment, but to pass sentence at once.
If, however, upon consideration, the Learned Counsel
should think that any of the points of law he had raised
ought to be further discussed, he (the Recorder) would
take care that the sentence was not put in execution
until that discussion had taken place.
Mr. PRENDERGAST expressed his concurrence in the
course suggested by the Court.
The RECORDER. then sentenced the prisoner to be
transported for life, with the understanding that the pri-
soner should not be sent away until his counsel had an
opportunity of submitting his objections to the conside-
ration of the Judges.
As the prisoner left the bar, he exclaimed—" I have
not had justice done me, that's all."

BOW-STREET.

A respectable-looking-man, advanced in years,
named Wm. Pindar, was brought before Mr. Twy-
ford, in custody of the park-keeper, charged with
committing indecent assaults on two little girls in the
park.

The case was fully proved against the prisoner.
Mr. TWYFORD committed him for trial, hut ad-
mitted him to bail, himself in 401., and two sureties
in 201. each.

Mr. R. Tujill, the proprietor of the Victoria Saloon,
Catharine-street, Strand, was summoned for harbour-
ing disorderly characters in his house.
Air. Humphries appeared for the defendant.
The case was proved to the satisfaction of the Ma-
gistrate, and the defendant was fined in 21. and costs,
being the sixth time that he has been convicted on a
similar charge, preferred by the same policeman.

CLERKEN WELL.

Michael Fleming, bricklayer, Tottenham-place, Tot-
tenham-court-road, was placed in the felons' dock,
charged with feloniously cutting and wounding Bridget,
his wife.

The prosecutrix, a sickly, careworn-looking woman,
was brought into Court by two police-constables ; her
head was bound up, and she seemed labouring under pain
and excessive debility.
The Chief Clerk said he did not think she was inclined
to prosecute.

The poor woman, in a low tone of voice, replied that
she had no revengeful feeling towards her husband,
but she entreated that she might be protected from him
in future.

Mr. BROUGHTON, however, determined upon hearing
the facts of the case.

The prosecutrix then deposed that on the previous
night, about twelve o'clock, the prisoner came home. She
was in bed, and he spoke harshly to her ; after some
time, however, he went to bed, but continued to speak
very unkindly, She remonstrated with him, upon which
he jumped up, and asked where the candle was ? She
refused to tell him, fearing that he might want it to
search for some weapon ; he got a lucifer-match box,
and lighting a lucifer, threw it on the bed clothes. She
besought of him not to be so cruel, but he seized her by
the hair, and dragged her out of the bed .on the floor.
She fell from the bed with so much violence that she
became insensible, and recollected nothing more until she
felt herself bleeding from a wound in her throat ; she
was then bleeding very much. After recovering herself
a little, she staggered out, and meeting a policeman, was
conveyed to the hospital.
Mr. BROUGHTON—Have you any children ? Prose-
cutrix (sobbing)—No, they are all dead, thank God. I
was the mother of eight children, but they are all gone
from me.

Why do you say thank God ?—Oh, they are beyond
the reach of his cruelty.
The complainant went into further statements of inju-
ries inflicted, but the prisoner met them with a general
negative.—He was committed for trial.

MARYLEBONE.

William Cooper, a ferocious-looking young fellow,
was charged with an aggravated and unprovoked assault.
An itinerant Scotch piper, named 'Alexander Hay, whose
face was covered with bruises, both his eyes were black
and swollen, one of them was dreadfully lacerated, and
it is doubtful whether he will ever regain the use of it.
The old man said he had taken a little to drink, and
because he could not play all the tunes a host of black-
guards wanted, they assaulted him, but it appeared that
the defendant threw him down, and brutally ill-treated
him. _

A Mr. Cleasby, who witnessed the assault, corrobo-
rated his statement, as also did the police.
The poor old man could not see for some time after be
was maltreated. He, however, told the Magistrate that
he did not mind his ill-usage so much as the loss he
should sustain from the injury which had been done to
his pipes. He said 2s. Gd. would repair them.
Mr. RAWLINSON ordered the defendant to pay Hay 10s

taken, or as the case may be. I am obliged to close, as
the steamer is of It is now five o'clock, and the
French ships have hauled out of harm's way; I may say
given it up—not game to land. The town is very much
knocked about. Such a display of lubberly conduct as
the French have shown to-day is beyond belief ; their
steamers running foul of different ships—from bad
management the line-of-battle ships presenting their
bows and sterns to be raked, and their bad gunnery has
made us laugh. Little do they know the feeling against
them among our men; could they be let loose the Cra-
pauds would rue this day! We despise them for their
conduct to• day, in firing at a defenceless town, as much
as we laugh at their lubberly way of going to work.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 21, 1844.

The calm which has followed the noisy and multi-
tudinous meetings of the members of the Repeal As-
sociation, since the imprisonment of Mr. O'CoNNELL
and his friends, is a remarkable feature in the present
times. But a few months ago all Ireland was in com-
motion, nothing but separation was talked of; now we
have only the echo of the mighty sound. The Tories,
of course, rejoice in this. They say, "it is their
thunder," but they are grievously mistaken if they
imagine that the wrongs of that country are to be
hushed by State prosecutions, or the spirit of liberty
which animates the people is to be put down till their
grievances are redressed, and they are placed
on the same footing with Englishmen and
Scotchmen. We have said all along that
Mr. O'CONNELL committed a great blunder in
resting the salvation of his country on the repeal of
the union, and every man who wished well to Ireland
saw with regret that the false policy which he adopted
only became more ruinous by the attacks which by
made on the *cons, of almost every man of note it,
England and Scotland, and, above all, on the men
Who had done and suffered much for his country.
The Whigs and the Liberal party, and among them
we include many Tories, paved the way for Catholic
Emancipation, and it required only the finishing stroke
ofMr. 1..., .'
...ONNELL to make
it complete. But what
would have been the state of the Catholics at
the present time, if the House of Commons had not
been divided against itself, if CANNING and CASTLE-
ZEAGII, and many others of the same party, had not
fought as manfully for emancipation as the best Ca-
tholics ? Would WELLINGTON or PEEL have yielded
if the Legislature had been as unanimous on that
point as they are on the question of .repeal ? Ireland
is a populous country, it contains many brave men—
men fit for the highest offices in the State and the
army—but it is now what it has ever been, only an
appendage of Great Britain, and could not exist with-
out her. To carry a repeal of the union with-
out the consent—nay, we may say, in direct
opposition to, the universal national will in
this country, and in opposition to a vast
majority, too, of the influential classes in Ireland—is
an utter impossibility. Great Britain would sacri-
fice everything to: avert such a calamity. No foreign
war—even the French and Americans united against
England, would only rouse the energies of the people,
and make them strive for the integrity of the empire
as they would strive for life. It is true that in times
of difficulty Ireland has obtained a partial redress of
grievances, but the abatement of these grievances was

Mr. PRZNIDERGAST expressed his concurrence in the
course suggested by the Court.
The RECORDER then sentenced the prisoner to be
transported for life, with the understanding that the pri-
soner should Rot be sent away until his counsel had an
opportunity of submitting his objections to the conside-
ration of the Judges.
As the prisoner left the bar, he exclaimed—" I have
not had justice done me, that's all."

NEW COURT.

Henry Wheeler, aged 21, bracemaker, Arthur Richman,
aged 18, and George Richman, aged 10, also brace-
makers, were indicted for stealing twenty-four brace
lengths of silk India rubber web, of the value of 285.,
the property of Benjamin Wigg Ilickling.
They were also charged upon several indictments with
stealing a quantity of tools, the property of the same
prosecutor.
Mr. Payne appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Bal-
lantine and Mr. Prendergast appeared for the prisoners.
The prisoners were engaged in the service of the pro-
secutor as bracemakers. The articles named in the
indictments were part of the stock of the prosecutor,
and the prisoners were discovered disposing of similar
articles. In the course of the evidence, however, it
appeared that part of the property was found in the pro •
secutor's premises after the present charge had been in-
stituted. Under these circumstances,
The Coat. oN SERGEANT stopped the case, and directed
an acquittal to be entered in favour of the prisoners.
They were again indicted for stealing some tools.
These tools belonged to the prosecutor, and the prisoners
were discovered, after the tools had been missed to have
pawned them.
The jury also acquitted the prisoners in this case.
There was another indictment against the prisonersAut
Mr. PAYNE said he would not again dare the glorious
uncertainty of the law.
The prisoners were accordingly acquitted on that also.
Mr. PAYNE said he would not proceed further.
John Wheeler was again put forward on another in-
dictment.

Mr. PRENDERGAST inquired what was meant by the
prisoner being put forward?
Mr. PAYNE said he had not been instructed, and there-
fore he could not consent to an acquittal.

On Friday the election of Town Councillors for the
borough of Ipswich took place, and resulted in the
retarn of a majority of Tories.

their own nominees.

LEEDS.

The municipal election of yesterday was by far the
most lifeless contest of the kind ever witnessed in
Leeds. At the very outset the Reformers had a
walk over" in no less than five wards, which re-
turn eight candidates, being one-half of the number
to elect in the whole borough. Besides these, four
Reformers have been returned in the contested wards,
making the total number of Reformers elected 12
out of 15 ! The remaining three newly-elected re-
presentatives are a Tory• Chartist and two Tories, re-
turned respectively for the North-east, the Kirkgate.

i

There were only conte3ts in two wards—Bridge
Ward and Sunderland Ward. In the former, the
Tories were so indiscreet as to bring forward Mr.
Thomas Burn, jun.; but after polling fifteen votes he
retired. The latter was contested with great spirit.
The two retiring councillors were Tories, and two
Liberals (Messrs. John Murray and W. Carling), and
one Tory (Mr. J. M. Cooper), were in the field. An
active canvass was prosecuted, and the utmost exer-
tions used by both parties, but although Mr. Murray
was returned by a considerable majority, Mr. Carling r
was rejected by a majority of one. The numbers
were—Murray, 13.3; Cooper, 1.05_; and Carling, 104.

the ground that, although his name was upon the
Burgess list, it had no business to be there, as he

such had been recently rejected by the Revising

Curling's yard many years as a caulker, and since his
death she had maintained herself by going out
nursing. Of late she could gain no employ, -and had
applied to the relieving-officer of Lewisham parish
for out-door aid (her husband belonged to Plum-
stead, which is within the Lewisham Union). He
refused her any pecuniary assistance, and told her to
go into the house. This she refused to do, having
been two or three times in it before, when she was
badly treated by Mr. Burrows, the master. He
pushed her about the house, and afforded better diet
to many inmates than he did to her. She was gene-
rally in a weak and ill state of health, and she saw
those who were not so treated with diet of a better
sort than she received. She would, therefore, never
enter it again.
A gentleman present said he had always under-
stood that the treatment at the Lewisham Union was
excellent.

Complainant said it might in some cases be so, but
certainly not in hers and many others.
Mr. GROVE said it was not in his power to order
any pecuniary relief. She must settle the matter
with the relieving•officer and the board of guardians.
Mrs. Rivers said she offered to be passed home to
her own relatives, who lived at Brecon, and the board
promised to render the necessary means; but when
she went to the union Mr. 011earles Atkins, the beadle,
drove her from the door, and although her brother
promised, by letter to the guardians, to keep her from
troubling the parish again, yet she could not obtain
money sufficient to pay her passage and food to get
to Brecon. The applicant then withdrew.

MAI?LBOROUGH-STREE T.

Two young country-looking girls came before Mr.
Hardwick to make the following statement :
They said they took a lodging at No. 2, Heddon-
street, Regent-street, about two days ago, telling the
landlady, Mrs. Thomas, that they were shoe-binders,
and that they were likely to have visitors, as they had
several acquaintances in London. On Friday evening
they had two young men in their room, when their
landlord sent for two police-constables, and insisted
on giving all of them in charge. The constables
ransacked their box, and ultimately carried them off
to the Vine. street station-house, where they were
locked up, and detained about an hour. They were
then discharged, as also the two young men, who had
also been in confinement, and they were obliged to
find lodgings elsewhere, as they were given to under-
stand that they would not be admitted again into the
house in Heddon-street. Yesterday they applied for
their property, and this was retused, and they, there-
fore, came to this Court, to ask for the assistance of
the magistrate.

Mr. ilaanwrcK said the proceedings, on the part
of the police, appeared to have been so perfectly un-
justifiable, that it was necessary the trut% of the ap-
plicants' story should be tested. Mr. Hardwick re-
quested one of the constables to go for the inspector on
duty the overnight.
Inspector Baker shortly entered the court, and, on
being put in possession of the particulars of the
young women's statement, said.he believed that they

VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)

(Before the VICE-CMANCELLOR, of ENGLAND.)
His Honour the Vice-Chancellor. of England having
on Saturday disposed of all his short causes, proceeded to-
day to hear unopposed cause petitions which occupied
the Court the whole day. No case of the least possible
interest came before the Court.

(Vice-Chancellors Knight Bruce and Wigratn are at
present sitting in the Westminiter Sessions-house.)
(Before Sir J. K. BRUCE.)
MALINS v. PRIC2.

His Hoxoun pronounced jndkrnent this morning in
this case, which was heard immediately before the long
vacation. At the conclusion of the hearing his Honour
directed certain issues to be tried upon the question in-
volved, namely, the mode of working certain mines in
Glamorganshire. The issues having been tried before
Mr. Justice Patteson, and the findings of the jury
not being satisfactory to the defendant, a motion on his
behalf for a new trial was made before his Honour
during the vacation, and on this motion the Court now
proceeded to deliver judgment.
His Hortoun, after enumerating in detail the various
objections urged by the defendant against the finding of
the jury, said he saw no ground upon which those
objections could be sustained, and he, therefore, thought
himself bound to adhere to the finding of the jury, and to
refuse the motion for a new trial, with costs.

Mr. KENYON PARKER said that, in consequence of his
Honour's decison, he must apply for the injunction to
prevent the working of the mines by patchwork, as the
motion for that injunction had, in accordance with pre-
vious arrangement, been kept in abeyance until his
Honour's decision was known.

Counsel on the other side having stated that his clients
were not prepared for the adoption of such a course—not
being able to foresee the judgment of the Court—the
motion was, in consequence. postponed.
(Before Sir J. WIGRAM.)
His Hotatotta disposed of a number of cause petitions
which were unopposed, and then proceeded to hear causes.
