LAW INTELLIGENCE.
CHANCERY.-LTHIS DAY.)

FBTTON V. HUGHES.
This case came for re-hearing for judgment. A
change of solicitors having become necessary in the
suit, an application had been made to the Court for a
decree to that effect.
The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment, granting
the decree for the change of solicitors, as prayed.
The Court then proceeded to hear appeal motions.

VICE-CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR, of ENGLAND.)
The Court was occupied throughout the day with
hearing motions.
BRISTOWE V. NEEDHAM.
This was a motion to amend an •order formerly
granted by the Court, appointing a receiver of rents
of a property in houses, in Crown and Sceptre-court.
It appeared that this receiver had received the rents
of certain houses not included in the property before
the Court.
Mr. ANDERTON, with whom was Mr. Calvert, opened
the case, on which the arggments occupied the greater
part of the morning. The Court was required to
make its order with regard to a future receiver, and
to give such protection with regard to the past re-
ceiver as it had in its power to give.
Mr. STEWART replied for the defendants.

CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.

(Before Mr. Baron G URNEY, and Mr. Baron ALDERSON.)
John Bowman Reynolds, aged 25, David Barnes,
aged 33, George Deane, aged 20, James 11PDonald,
aged 23, and George Sole, aged 26 (sailors), were
placed at the bar, charged with feloniously killing and
slaying Philip Keel upon the high sea, within the juris-
diction of the Admiralty of England.
Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Doane conducted the prosecu-
tion ; Mr. Clarkson appeared for Reynolds, the mate
of the vessel, and Mr. Wilkins appeared for the
other defendants.
Mr. BODKIN stated the case for the prosecution.
The prisoners and the deceased were sailors on board
the barque Clydesdale, which was homeward bound
from Bombay, and when almost in the port of Liver-
pool, the prisoner Reynolds, the mate of the vessel,
,came to the forecastle, in which Philip Keel, the
cook, a man of colour, was lying ill. Reynolds told
the cook to get up to prepare breakfast,, but, he said he
was too ill, and was not able to do so. The mate
then said that he was skulking, and would bowse him
up if he did not get up. The Learned Gentleman
then went on to detail the other circumstances of the
case as they appeared from the evidence. This oc-
currence took place on the Ist of the present month.
Thos. Stephens, a man of colour, was the first wit-
ness called—Was on board the Clydesdale, a barque
coining from Bombay ; was a sailor on board that
vessel ; on the Ist of December that v essel was abreast
of the port of Liverpool. The deceasod, Philip Keel,
was sick in the forecastle on that day-; he had been
sick for three or four days; early in The morning of
Friday, Reynolds, the mate, desired Keel to get up
and get breakfast. Keel answered that he was not
able to do it. The mate said, " you_ skulking thief
there is nothing the matter with you ; we will bowse
you up if you don't come up ; ' Keel said, " you
don' t know my feelings ;" the mate then said,
" I will get a watch tackle to bowse you
up." Witness was lying in the forecastle at the
time; the prisoner, David Barnes, was in bed in
the forecastle. George Sole was there also. They
were in bed. Keel was in bed isrroaning. Barnes
said, "if you don't hold your noise will put a rope
round your neck." George Sole s aid Deane said,
" That if the rope was put round his meek they would
haul him up." The rope was put dwwn, and Barnes
went to the cook, Keel, and put the end of it round
his neck. The other end was on dieck, and it was
then drawn up. Keel was pulled out. of his berth by
the rope. Deane and Sole were in the, forecastle when
the rope was put round his neck. Deane then went
up. Newman, the carpenter, was in the forecastle
at the time, he jumped out of his berth and said," avast
hauling the rope, you will choke the ,caan." He then
pulled the rope and slipped it round his breast. George
Sole then said, " haul him up ;" the head of the cook
was near the scuttle. When he was pulled up his
head struck the scuttle ; Sole cleared the head from
the scuttle, and the cook was pulled up. In about
twenty minutes the cook was brought down and
placed in his berth. Witness went to him in about
five minutes ; his eyes were shut and his mouth was
open ; he was dead then. The secon a mate was be-
low. Witness said to him "the man was dead."
Cross-examined by Mr. Wiums—The cook was
complaining some time before of a pain in his stomach.
He appeared very sleepy and dreamy. Witness's berth
was underneath that of the cook. Light was admitted
into the forecastle through two bull's eyes. The oc-
currence happened about six o'clock in the morning.
To Mr. Baron ALDERSON—The deceased had a blue
shirt, a pair of drawers and stockings on him. The
deceased was darker than witness. Witness was ill
himself for about two days, when he got into the
colder climate.

Henry Newmann, a native of Hamburgh, was
next examined. Was in the forecastle of the Clydesdale
on the morning of the Ist of the present month.
Witness was in his berth ; he heard a noise and he got
up. He found the cook with a rope round his neck,
and his head lying on a chest underneath. He called
out to those who were pulling the rope, that if they
did not'cease the man would be choked. Witness
then loosened the rope from round his neck, and
slipped it round his breast. The cook was groaning.
When witness loosened the rope, he went to bed
again. When the watch was changed witness went
on deck, and saw the cook in the fore-hatch, with
two or three coats on him. The second mate ordered
Deane and Sole to take him to his berth; he was not
then dead. Did not see the first mate.
The witness was cross-examined by Mr. Clarkson
and Mr. Wilkins.
Baron ALDERSON—Why did you not do more than
loose the rope from the man? The witness was silent.
The witness was re-called and said, that the crew
was a very good one.
Baron ALDERSON—You cannot say they were very
good helpmates.
Joseph Ball, examined—Was in his berth on the
morning of the Ist of December. Saw the cook on
that morning with a rope round his neck, and his
head on a chest. The carpenter, Newmann, loosed the
rope from round his neck. In about 10 minutes after
witness saw him on deck. He was not at all dead
then. He was in. stagnant state. He died after he
was taken down.
Leopold Philips, the second mate, was then exa-
mined, but there was nothing particular elicited.
Wm. Renfrey, the master of the Clydesdale, exa-
mined—This witness gave the prisoner Reynolds an
excellent character for clemency, and stated that the
remainder of the crew were very quiet, and good
seamen.
Mr. George Wood, surgeon, examined by Mr.
BonsiN—Examined a man of colour on the 2d of the'
present month. He found the lungs highly congested,
and the bronchial tubes filled with a fluid mixed with
air. The right side of the heart contained a large
quantity of half fluid blcod. The left side of the
heart was more unnatural, for it was quite empty.
The liver appeared rather enlarged; the veins and
sinews of the head were filled with a dark fluid, and
a more than usual quantity of dark dots were appa-

rent. In witness's opinion the deceased died from
suffocation. '

Upon cross-examination the witness said that the
deceased might have died from exposure to cold, but
it was not probable. Thinks that an exposure for
an hour of a person accustomed to a warm climate, in
almost a state of nudity, might produce the appear-
ances he described. There were no external marks of
violence.

Re-examined—lt is possible for suffocation to take
place without any external appearances.
Mr. Baron ALDERSON—Does not think that a per-
son dragged out of bed by a rope, and then the rope
loosened, would produce suffocation.
At this stage of the proceeding Mr. Baron ALDER-
SON stopped the case, and addressing the Jury, said
that there was no evidence that the man died of stran-
gulation, and that the charge of manslaughter could
not be sustained. His opinion was, that the man's
death was caused by the brutal exposure upon the
deck.

The Jury accordingly returned a verdict of Not
Guilty.

Mr. Baron ALDERSON asked if there was another
count in the indictment to meet this case?

The Counsel for the prosecution replied that there
was not. He knew nothing of the case till it was sent
to their hands.

Mr. Baron ALDEusoN—There ought to have been
such a count. It was not right that, in a Christian
country, the ends of justice should be so defeated.
Guilty persons ought not to be thus suffered to escape
upon a mere point of form. It deserved the attention
of the highest authorities in the State, and, in par-
ticular, of the Attorney and Solicitor-Generals. The
Learned Baron made these statements with much
earnestness. 4

Mr. Baron GURNEY—These matters were much
better managed in the time of the Advocate for the
Admiralty. Great care was then taken in bringing
forward those cases, and they were properly managed.
The same care ought to be observed now.
Henry Stanton, alias Stanhope, alias Winkwork,
aged 39, and described as a labourer, was placed at
the bar, charged with stealing two gold watches, the
property of Mr. Menzies, a jeweller in Clerkenwell,
value 351. The prisoner was dressed in a brown
Taglioni coat, and had a boa tied round his neck. He
appeared quite unconcerned at his position, and in-
terrogated the witnesses himself.
It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner
came to Mr. Menzies in the month of August, and
inquired for lodgings, and promised to call again.
He did so, and in a short time wrote a letter
stating that he would go to his lodgings on
a certain day. He came ; and while Mr. Men-
zies and his wife were out of the house,
taking a short walk, he took two gold watches, which
he carried to a Miss Millar, and induced her to pawn
them, stating that his father was coming to town, and
that he wished to make a decent appearance. It was
proved that the prisoner was the person who called
about the lodgings; and the pawnbroker and Mr. Men-
zies identified one of the watches which was pawned for
61. 10s. The prisoner, by his questions, endeavoured
to prove that he was not the person who called about
the lodgings, and asked the servant-maid whether it
was not from a portrait of him which was shown
to her, that she was able to identify him ?
The witness replied that she did not know him from
the portrait, but that she knew his own appearance.
The portrait was exhibited in Court, end pos-
sessed little resemblance of the prisoner. Under-
neath was written, below a coat of arms, the motto,
_ " Nec timide, nec temere ;"

and the following—
" Henry Stanton, Esq., officer in the army, born in
Liverpool, one of the candidates for the representa-
tion of Southampton in Parliament, 1830, and author
of the most extensive petition that ever emanated
from that body against the Catholic claims, 1829.
" For his country's cause eloquent and bold,
True to Church, and never bought or sold,
So were his writings—to the poor a friend,
Unawed by wealth, he'd to no faction bend."
Mr. Baron GURNEY summed up the evidence ; and
the Jury found the prisoner Guilty.
The Jury also found that the prisoner was the same
person who had been convicted for felony in the year
1836. The record of his conviction was produced and
read in Court. _ _

Mr. BarOnALDBRSON inquired how it happened
that the prisoner was not transported before. •
Mr. CLARKSON, who conducted the prosecution,
replied that he believed the prisoner performed some
service for the Government in Ireland, and on this
account the sentence was not carried into execution.
Mr. Baron GURNEY in passing sentence said, Henry
Stanton, it is to be regretted that the sentence which
was passed on you before was not carried into execu-
tion, for ever since that time you have been living on
systematic plunder. This time the sentence of the
Court will be carried into execution, and it is that
you be transported beyond the seas for the term of
your natural life.
A slight manifestation of applause was manifested
in Court after sentence was pronounced.

NEW COURT.
EXTEORDINARY CASE OF BIGAMY.--A pretty look-
ing young woman, with a child in her arms, named
Eliza Corsain, was indicted for intermarrying with
Theopolis Tyniall, well knowing that her former hus-
band, John Corsain, was living.
The prisoner pleaded Guity
Mr. BALLANTINE, who appeared for the prisoner,
said this was one of the most extraordinary cases per-
haps that ever' appeared before a Court of Justice.
The first husband of this young woman had actually
lived in the same house after she was married to the
second husband, who was not the prosecutor in this
case. He should call that gentleman who would
state that the formerhusband had used inducements to
make his wife marry again—that he had given Mr.
Tyndall 1001. to marry her, and had held out other
promises to him.
Mr. Tyndall was then called, and said I am married
to this prisoner. I was married in 1841. I lived in
the same house with the first husband Corsain. I have
lived in the same house with him ever since. This
prosecution is quite contrary to my wish. She mar-
ried me in consequence of ker husband not behaving
with the spirit of a husband. He bought the ring
for our marriage. He was well aware of the mar-
riage. He said he would lend me 1001., and he did so.
Mr. BALLANTINE—I cannot offer any evidence as
to what the inducement was held out to the poor
young woman by her husband to marry again, but I
have no doubt that when she married she believed she
had a legal right to do so. Your Lordship knows the
case of the Countess of Essex, and she knew very well,
from certain circumstances, that her husband was no
husband at all.
The COMMON SERGEANT—^HOW old is the first
husband ?
Mr. BALLANTINE—Forty, my Lord. The child in
the prisoner's arms is said to be the first husband's.
There may very well be a child, you know. The
second husband actually slept with the first husband
Corsain, at the time the prisoner was confined. There
is not another man in the world, J hope, like this
Corsain.

The COMMON SERGEANT then left the Court to
consult with Mr. Baron Gurney on the case. He
shortly returned, and the prisoner was called upon.
The COMMON SERGEANT then addressed the prisoner
and said he had attentively considered the case, and
he felt it necessary to pass a sentence of
imprisonment on the prisoner, as these sort
of marriages must not be allowed. The first
husband ought to have been indicted as an nccessory
before the fact, and it ought to be done now. The
husband having offered a hundred pounds to ilite se-
cond husband as an inducement to marry her, made
him an accessory before the fact. The sentence cin the
prisoner was, that she be imprisoned in the Hox ise of
Correction for three months, and to be kept to hard
labour.

The prisoner as soon as she heard .the seal fence
fainted away and was carried from the bar.
Mr. BALLANTINE—I hope, my Lord, she will find
justice and mercy in the llouse of Correction?
The COMMON SERGEANT—I hope she will.
Mr. BALLANTINE—I do not mean that remar ic to
apply to your Lordship, because I knew very well
that when I recommended the poor young wome al to
plead Guilty that it would be before a merciful Ju, age.
It will be easily seen to whom my remark applies.
