THE IRISH CONSTABULARY.

The following has been received by the foreman of the
Cork city grand jury, in reply to the memorial addressed
to Government by that body.
" Dublin Castle, 10th August, 1844.
" Sir,—With reference to the memorial of the grand
jury of the city of Cork, dated the sth instant, I am
directed by -the Lord Lieutenant to acquaint you, that
as the expenses of the constabulary force in England are
paid by the respective localities for the preservation of
the peace inrivhich they are employed, while one half the
expense of the Irish constabulary force is defrayed out of
the consolidated fund, it is not likely that any proposi-
tion would be favourably received by Parliament, which
would place upon the inhabitants of the empire at large
the payment. of a larger share of the expenses of the
constabulary force in Ireland, than they are at present
charged with.-=-I have the honour to be, Sir, your obe-
dient servant, - " E. LUCAS.

day) his Excellency Lord Heytesbury appointed Captain
John Kelly, of Fairfield, county Galway, stipendiary
magistrate, in the room of Mr. Rougham. Captain Kelly
is a Roman Catholic."

FASHIONABLE. —WC have already contradicted
some extraordinary reports of Imperial deaths and births
that were circulated by our unaccountable Contemporary,
the Morning Herald, and we now observe that the
Standard thinks it necessary to inform its readers that
the paragraph which appeared in " some of its Morning
Contemporaries," announcing the death of the Grand
Duchess Alexandria of Russia, was quite premature.
Now, our excellent " Contemporary " is occasionally in
the habit of borrowing little trifling pieces of news *Om
the Morning Post, and he is much too fast and loose in
his method of business to dream of acknowledging his
authority. Perhaps, in future, when disowning the
fabrications of his " Morning Contemporaries," he will
be kind enough to particularise the source of the false-
.hood. „We all are fallible ; but it really is quite enough
to answer for our defaults, without taking the responsibi-
lity of those of the Morning Herald and Co.—Post.
THE Bill* or A PRINCE AT WINDSOR CASTLE.
—Various opirilona having been hazarded as to the
Wperiod when the last birth of a Prince took place at
indsor (Henry the Sixth, who was born at the Castle,
on the 6th of December, 1421, being generally supposed
to have been the last) we are enabled, from an official
document, to set all speculation on the subject at rest.
It will be peiceived from the following verbatim copy of
the registry of baptism at St. George's Chapel,-Wind-
sor, that Prince Alfred, who died in 1782, within 'two
years after his birth, was born at the royal residence at
Windsor :—" Prince Alfred, son of his most gracious
Majesty George the Third, and of her gracious Majesty
Queen Charlotte, was born here in Windsor (in the
Queen's Lodge, facing the principal entrance of the
Great Court of Windsor Castle) the twenty-second day
of September, in the year of our Lord one thousand
seven hundr(d and eighty, a few seconds after ten of
the clock in the forenoon, and was privately bap-
tised by the Right Rev. Father in God Richard,
Lord Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry." Prince Alfred
and his brother Prince Octavius (who also died in his
infancy, and. a few 'months after Prince Alfred), were
interred in Westminster Abbey. As soon, however, as
the royal cemetery at Windsor, beneath Cardinal
Wolsey's Chapel, was completed, at the latter end of the
reign of George III„- the bodies of the Princes Alfred.
and Octaiius Were removed from Westminster Abbe,
and deposited in the royal mausoleum at St. George
Chapel, within the, precincts of the royal residence at
Windsor. The Princess Amelia, the youngest child of
their Majesties George 111. and Queen Charlotte, was
the first of the royal family who was publicly interred
beneath the royal tomb house, at Windsor, the funeral
taking place in November, 1810. The remains of every
one of the descendants of George 111. who have died
since that period, with the exception of the Duke of
Sussex, are deposited in the same place of sepulture.
MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—On Saturday, the
17th inst., by special license, at Barneston, the parish
church of Newton .house, near Bedale, the seat of her
Grace the Duchess Dowager of Cleveland, the Right
Hon. the Earl of Mulgrave to Miss Laura Russell, the
niece of her Grace. On the day previous to the mar-
marriage the different_ branches of the two families
assembled at Newton-house, where they were entertained
in splendid style, and the following sat down• to dinner
with her Grace and the bride and bridegroom—viz., his

Grace the Duke of Cleveland, the Nla.iquis and Mar-

• ehioness of Normanby, the Hon. and Rev. Augustus
Phipps and Lady Mary; Mr. Milbank, Lady Augusta,
and their son, Mr. Henry ; the Hon. Colonel Arden and
Lady Arabella, Captain Russell, R.N., and his lady,
Mr. and Mrs. Coore the Hons. Colonel and Edmund
Phipps the Hon. Adolphus Liddell, Miss Taylor, and
MT. Wharton.. The marriage ceremony was performed
by the Hon. and Rev. Augustus Phipps, and the bride
maids Were Miss. Milbank and Miss Anderson. The
whole party, having returned to Newton-house, partook
of a most sumptuoks dejeuner, after which the happy
couple set out for Midgrare Castl'.
The following distinguished personages were pre-
sent at her Majesty's Theatre on Saturday evening:—
His Royal Highness Prince William of Prussia, accom-
panied by his Excellency Chevalier Bunsen (Prussian
Ambassador), the Earl and Countess of Westmoreland,
Count von Konigsmark, Count Puckler, Baron Schlei-
Ditz, Baron Thile, and Captain Mevnell, occupied her
Majesty's box ; the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge,
the Duchess of Gloucester, their Serene Highnesses the
Duke and Duchess Mecklenburgh Strelitz, Prince Ed-
ward of Saxe Weimar, the Princess of Baden, and Mar•

Davies. Charles Kent, Hoary Pynn, Henry Webster; the
Hons. General Upton, Colonel Upton, Julia* Fane, and
R. Curzon; Colonel Knox, &c.
We understand that dr. Dyce Sombre, whose very
remarkable case was only a few days back the subject of
discussion in the'Court of Chancery,- has a second time
effected his escape from the persons appointed to look
after him. His first escape was at Liverpool, shortly
after the decision of a jury that lie was incapable of
managing his affairs* He proceeded to _France, from
which he returned to dispute the validity of that decision
by an appeal .to the Lord Chancellor. Lord Lyndhurst
gave judgment against the appeal. Since the
arrival of
Mr. Dyce Sombre in London, the verypr?pr precaution
was taken of placing two or three men, er officers of'
the Court of Chancery, or plainpolicemenin e
clothes, to
keep watch on all his movements. These men lodged in
She same house with him; and one of them was always seen
to follow him when he went abroad. It appears that
on Tuesday last Mr. Dyco Sombre left his lodgings in
the Haymarket, followed, as usual, by one of these men,
and proceeded in the direction of Piccadilly. Near, if
not in, the Burlington Arcade, he contrived to give his
attendant the slip, and he has not since been heard of,
although the most active measures have, doubtless, been
taken to discover his retreat.—Obsercer.
ST. ANN'S FANCY SALE.—The ladies who con-
ducted the St. Ann's fancy sale, on Tuesday and Wed-
nesday last, have announced that, owing to the very
bad weather on those days, it is intended to recommence
the sale on Monday (yesterday), and to continue it
through the week, At the London Tavern, Bishopsgate•
street, under the immediate direction of the Hon. Miss
Harley and Mrs. Evans. The sale is to commence at
twelve and continue till six each day.
The steam-ship Great Western, Captain Matthews,
sailed from Liverpool, fur New York, at noon, on Satur-
day last, with In passengers, and the largest amount
of freight she has ever -taken out. The ll:bernia, Bri-
tish and North American Royal mail steam-ship,
CaPtain Ryrie, lea-. is the Mersey to-day, for Halifax and

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Aug. 17.
(Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANONS.)
D. ROSS'S BANKRUPTCY.

The bankrupt in this case was a commission agent
carrying on business in Love-lane, and to-day he
applied for his certificate. lie was opposed on the
ground that he had speculated and been extravagant
in trade and personal expenditure, having at the time
liabilities hanging over his head forll,ooo/.conneeted
with a Scotch sequestration.
The COURT considered the opposition justifiable,
and a postponement of the bankrupt's certificate was
made for one year and a half.

TrilLE SUN, LONDON, TITE_SDAY MORNING, AUGUST 20, 1644.

prisoner, contended that it was a thoughtless act, and
that the prisoner could not have anticipated what
could have been the result.

The jury found the prisoner Guilty of an assault.
—Sentence deferred.

James Brittain was indicted for stabbing Henry
Cotteral, at IVigan, in March last.

Mr. James conducted the prosecution.
It appeared that the parties were related to each
other, and resided in the same house at Wigan. On
the night of the 13th of March a quarrel occurred
between the prisoner and the prosecutor's father, in
the course of which the prisoner struck the old man,
who thereupon sent for the prosecutor, who was ab-
sent at the time. On his arrival he attacked the

prisoner, who snatched up a large knife which was
near, and inflicted a severe and dangerous wound on
the prosecutor. He was shortly after taken into
custody, and a knife which was found in the house,
likely to have been used on the occasion, was found
wet with blood.

The prisoner appeared to be a poor untrained, half-
witted person.
Guilty of a common assault.—Sentence deferred.
Patrick 111‘Crea was indicted for wounding Daniel
M'Avoy, at Rainhill, on the sth of August.
Mr. J. Pollock conducted the prosecution.
It appeared that on the evening of the offence the
prosecutor, who is a labourer, was standing at his
own door, when the
,prisoner came past. In con-
sequence of some old grievance they were not on
good terms, and the prisoner began using very abusive
language to the prosecutor. The prosecutor advised
him to go home, and he went some distance, when he
suddenly returned with a knife in his hand, and made
an attack on the prosecutor, in which the latter was
wounded severely on the temple, and one of his ears
nearly severed from his head. The prisoner was
shortly after apprehended, when he stated that he had
been struck by the prosecutor, and that drink had
been the cause of the quarrel.
Guilty of an assault.---Sentence deferred.
CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Mr. Justice CassswlLL.)

The first cause on the list was undefended. The
next four were actions by Sir Oswald Mosley, the
lord of the manor, and owner of the market of Man-
chester, against sundry butchers who persist in
selling flesh meat in shops in their own houses
instead of on the stalls of Sir Oswald in the public
market, thereby avoiding the espionage of the inspec-
tors of the market and the payment of Sir Oswald's
market tolls.

Mr. Wortley, Mr. Brandt, and Mr. Denman ap-
peared for the plaintiff; the several defendants ap-
peared in person.
The proof was the same in each of the cases—
namely, that plaintiff was the owner of the market,
with the right to take tolls, and the selling by the
defendants in places out of the market.
In each case a verdict was returned for the plaintiff,
with small damages.
Similar actions have been frequently tried before
for infringements of these market rights.

COOKE V. lEDDILLION.

This was an action to recover the price of 600 pieces
of mousselin-de-laine, delivered by the plaintiff to
the defendant.

Mr. Martin and Mr. Crompton conducted the case
of the plaintiff, and Mr. Watson and Mr. Atherton
that of the defendant. _ _ _

It appeared that the plaintiff, who is a manufac-
turer, -had contracted to supply the defendant with a
certain number of pieces of mousselin-de-laine, to be
delivered within a certain time, to be paid for in cash,
with a discount of 21 per cent. for the ready money.
About 1,500 pieces were delivered and paid for ; but
it was alleged that those now in question were not de-
livered in time, nor were of sufficiently good quality;
yet the defendant, alleging that he was in immediate
want of the goods to supply his customers, retained
them, and, did not send them back. The cause occu-
pied the remainder of the day. A verdict was ulti-
mately returned for the plaintiff for 3301., being the
full amount claimed, after deducting a discount of 2
per cent.

Saturday, Aug. 17.

DOE, DEM. BATEMAN AND ANOTHER, V. LEVER AND

ANOTHER.

This was an action of ejectment, to recover the
possession of a warehouse between Crow-alley and
Bank-street, facing Walker-street, in Manchester.
Mr. Martin and Mr. Cowling conducted the case
of the plaintiff. The defendant Lever and his wife
and the other defendant ;(who said she was no more
than their servant) appeared in person, and way was
made for them on the floor of the court.

It appeared from the evidence that the property
had formerly belonged to a Mr. Clegg, who was one
of the early and successful race of cotton-spinners,
and who amassed a large fortune in that business.
He purchased the property in 1787, and built the
warehouse in question upon it. He died in 1818,
having devised the property to the present plaintiffs,
and Mr. Thomas Wilson, late of Highbury, near
Islington, London, who having died about a year
ago, the property vested in the plaintiffs, as
trustees of Mr. Clegg's will. Last year the property
was untenanted, and a lock was put on the warehouse
door. The defendants broke off the lock, took pos-
session, and, barricadoed themselves in, pretendsng
that they had a claim to the property, as the heirs of
a Mr. Hamilton, who died some 70 years ago. The
case was proved on the part of the plaintiff's, and the
receipts of the rents :and profits of them for a series of

years.
During the case of the plaintiff only a few ques-
tions were asked, but on the defendant ;Lever being
told that he might now address himself to the jury,
said. his wife would state his case,
Mr. Justice CRESSWELL said he could not allow
that. If he appeared in person, he must speak for
himself. He might have counsel if he chose to em-
ploy one, but his wife could not be counsel for him.
The lady, however, armed with along paper, would
not so be silenced, and proceeded in her harangue.
The Judge for some time used his endeavour to in-
duce her to desist, but to no purpose, and it soon be-
came evident that tl.e shortest way was to let her
have her say. The substance of her harangue was,
that her husband was the real heir to the property,
and that tii;.,y had been sold for gold.
His Lounsure directed the jury to enter a verdict
for the plaintiffs. This being done, lie proceeded to
explain to the defendant Lever that he had no defence
to the action, and that if there had been no other bar,
the lapse of time since 1787 would effectually prevent
him from defending the action.

The lady again 'broke in, and it was only by di
reeting the next cause to be called on that her ha
rangue was put an end to.

SANDFORD V. JACKSON.

This was an action of trover to recover the value of
a parrot and cage.
Mr. Atherton appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr.
Brandt for the defendant.
It appeared that the plaintiff is a widow lady of a
certain age. She had a brother who first owned the
parrot, and she, it was alleged, purchased Poll and
the cage of him for 51. 10s., a receipt for which sum
was produced. It was admitted, however, that no
money actually passed, the brother being at the time
indebted to the plaintiff in a larger sum. Some time
afterwards 'a sister of the plaintiff, who resided with
her, fell ill, and could not bear the noise of the bird,
on which account Poll and the cage was sent back to
the brother's fur a while. The brother, then being
in difficulties, said he feared if it remained in his

house his creditors would take it, sent it to the de-;
fondant's. The occasion of its removal being passed
over, the plaintiff was desirous to reclaim her favourite
bird, and sent to the defendant fur it, who refused to
deliver it up, alleging that it belonged to the brother,
and had passed to his assignees ; on which the pre-
sent action was brought. It had, however, been
allowed to slumber, -and would no doubt have been
dropped altogether, had not the defendant compelled
the plaintiff to proceed with it ; the consequence of
which was a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 51.105.
CROWN SlDE.—(Before the Loan Cum. BARON.)
Joseph Farrell was indicted for the manslaughter of
Amelia Farrell, his wife, at Manchester, on the 31st
of July laSt.
Mr. F. Pollock conducted the prosecution, and Mr.
Wilkins the defence.
It appeared from the evidence, that on the day
named in the indictment, which was a Sunday, the
prisoner came home to his dinner at a later hour than
usual, at which the deceased expressed her displea-
sure, and accused him of having been 'in the com-
pany of another woman, to whom she applied a
variety of epithets current on such occasions. He
assured her it was not so, and begged her not to use
such language, especially in the presence of " Em-
ma," his daughter by a former wife, She, however,
called him a liar, and continued her vituperations,
when at length he was so much provoked that he
threw some boiled potatoes at her, and as she still con-
tinued, he struck her with the back of his hand once on
the eye, and 'once on the mouth. She did not fall
immediately, but after a little time appeared to slip
down besicle the wall, when it was found that her nose
was bleeding.' The child cried out, and some neigh-
bours ran in. The deceased said " This is hard
usage," to which the prisoner replied, " Then you
should have held your tongue." She walked with
help to a neighbour's house, and the next day kept
her bed, but so far recoved as to go about the house,
complaining of giddiness in the head. On the 7th of
August she got worse, and a medical man was sent
for. She soon after died. On a post mortem ex-
amination it was discoved that there was considerable
extravasation of blood on the left side of the brain,
which at that time adhered to the skull, and appeared
to be of several days' 'standing.
It appeared on' cross-examination, that before the
31st of July she had complained of her head, and said
she should not long survive her sister, who had died
of apoplexy about a month before.
Mr. Wir.xtris addressed the jury for the prisoner,
and contended 4 that the death might have been caused
by apoplexy,,and not by the blow from the prisoner.
The .jury, after deliberating for some time, found
the_prisoner Gnilty.---Sentence deferred.
