EXPERIMENTAL SQUADRON.
(From the Plymouth Times.)
The naval experimental trials now in progress present
marry instances of the gross defects in the system of naval
construction patronised by the late Government, and of the
delusive statements and reports concerning it. We will
take as an illustration, the history of her Majesty's ship

Vanguard.
The Vanguard was built at Pembroke, and launched in
1835. She was subsequently fitted out in 1836 at Ports-
mouth, and went to the Mediterianean and was said to be
a most extraordinary ship. Admiral Bouverie reports, that
she stows 400 tons of water, will carry with ease five months'
bread, and six months' provisions of all other species, for
620 men, &c. He says she would take even more, but " I
confine myself to facts which would not affect the qualities
necessary for a man-of-war to possess." In regard to sailing
qualities, he says, " The way she went to windward in various
tria's of sailing with the squadron is very remarkable."
Well, we come now to the trial of this same ship in the
year 1845, when there is a fair field open and no favour. The
Vanguard, as stowed at Spithead in July last, could only
take five months' provisions, 358 tons of water, and 30 tons
of bread, for 640 men ; she then drew 23 feet 7 inches for-
ward, and 24 feet 5 inches abaft; and her midship port was
reported to be 7 feet 1 inch clear of the sea—so much for
stowege. We now come to the great fact. This ship on
trial with a squadron, also fully stored—many of them beyond
the Vanguard lay a month's provisions—instead of realising
the report, " I confine myself to facts which would not affect
the qualities necessary for a man-of-war to possess, &c.," is
positively found to sail worse than the three-deck ships, and
is last of all the two-deck ships except the Superb, supposed
to be Vanguard improved. She was beaten by the Canopus,
an old French ship of the Republican war, and by the Rod-
ney, built in 1833, on the design of Sir Robert Seppings.
Her qualities as a man-of-war, therefore, fully loaded with
stores requisite for the public service, are very questionable.
The ship now returns to Plymouth Sound, and the first
thing we hear is, an order " to return to her Mediterranean
trim, according to form 211." This led us to inquire into the
probable magic of this new trim, and endeavour to ascertain
in what it consisted, and we found that it consisted in sailing
the ship as a yacht, at a light draught of water, with only
three months' provisions on board. Accordingly, by an order
from Sir Samuel Pym, dated Sept. 23, the ship was reduced
to 270 tons of water, and as many water tanks removed fiom
the after hold as would be requisite for the stowing of pro-
visions, " in order to relieve the ship as much as possible from
unneces' ary weight abaft," and bring her to swim 22 feet 8
inches forward, and 23 feet 1 inch abaft. The ship was thus
trimmed; and she is now gone out to try with the still
deeply loaded ships, having only two months' biscuit ; so that
if the cruise extends any considerable time, she must be
provisioned from the other ships, and reduced to beg her
bread. Now what a farce all this is. Is, then, mere sailing
for a race, without regard to efficacy as a man-of-war, the
object in view in the building of ships for the service of
the country? What could you have done in the late war
with a fleet of ships possessing the reported fine qualities of
the Vanguard? Plainly, very little. But, suppose, being
thus lightened, the Vanguard should outsail the whole
squadron, what then? Why she will have won the cup by
a species of Navy office jockeyship—by. carrying a great
spread of sail, with comparatively little resistance—the great
secret of her reported success in the Mediterranean. We
here see the practical and sound policy of the Admiralty; in
bringing such ships and reports to the bar of justice, the
truth has come out. It is important to remark, that if we
had to choose between a good ship at a light trim, and a
good ship at a deep trim, we should certainly for the service
of the country select the latter, and for this reason :—That
in sending ships on foreign stations it is absolutely requi-ite
to stow them full of stores and provisions, acd the more they
can carry the better. If the ships get lighter by the expen-
diture of stores, it is easy to make them deeper; but you can
Lind no shift to compensate the inefficiency of a ship deeply
immersed.
We referred on a former occasion to the late Parliamen-
tary return to " two orders of the House of Commons, June
26, and July 27, 18-15." as being a document with cut a
signature, and containing fallacies of a very absurd kind,
and which we mean, for the information of our readers, from
time to time to expose. The Vanguard is included in this
return. First, she is said to have cost only 62,115/. ; whilst
the Clarence and Thunderer are said to have cost from
72,000/. to 76,000/. Now, it will be tound, that in the build-
ing of the Vanguard at Pembroke, means were resorted to
to keep down the cost, unusual on similar occasions;--
labourers were employed at 2s. per diem, to do the work
usually performed by shipwrights at 4s. or 4s. 6d. ; and it is
well known that the expense and difference in quality of
materials employed in the construction of the Vanguard
were greatly in favour of the constructor's supposed econo-
mical system ; and this ship was built with a view to show the
accuracy of this system. Now, it is a curious fact, that in the
Dockyard returns from the Vanguard, instead of the official
document of expenses being signed by all the principal offi-
cers of the Pembroke- yard, as is customary, it was only signed
by one of them, and that one a partisan of the surveyor. It
was actually proved, that instead of this ship being built at a
less cost than the Clarence, she virtually cost 5,000/. more.
We come now to the return in this precious Parliamentary
document relative to her flotation. By this we find, at page 3,
that the draught of water by construction drawing is to be 23
feet forward, and 24 feet abaft, with a height of midship port
of 7 feet; and in page 2 we find, by return from Spithead,
she swam 23 feet 7 inches, and 24 feet 5 inches, stored for 12
months, having a midship port of 7 feet 1 inch. Here, then,
the ship swam 7 inches deeper forward, and 5 inches deeper
abaft; notwithstanding which, her midship port is actually
one inch higher. Oh, wonderful ship ! Oh, heavenly con-
structors ! We ne'er may look upon your like again. So
much for the Vanguard.
Come we now to Superb. The Superb was built at Pem-
broke in 1842 ; and, nqt content with the most perfect of all
perfect ships, her predecessor the Vanguard, her constructors
made a considerable alteration in the form of the stem, by
which her buoyancy was increased forward, without any
corresponding alteration in the after body—of course down
she went by the stern, as might have been anticipated. On
fitting out this ship at Plymouth, in November, 1843, under
Captain Cory, she was found very deficient in displace-
ment, and would not take her stores to the draught of
water intended—so much so, that it was found requisite
to put on an additional quantity of copper; she was docked
previously to fitting out, and then sent round to Portsmouth
to join the experimental fleet. On arriving at Portsmouth,
however, she was ordered, from some unknown crotchet
of the surveyor's department, to be docked again, and
very great pains were taken to prepare her for the forth-
coming trials. She went to sea under very hopeful
expectations, and she returned to Plymouth Sound, ac-
knowledged to have sailed even worse than the Vanguard.
An order is now sent, dated September 23, to put her on
the same low diet as Vanguard, and bring her to the light
jockey trim—a plain admission of her incapacity as a deep
ship; but no sooner is this effected, than she is withdrawn
from the fleet and sent to Portsmouth to be again taken
into dock and stowed under the express directions of the sur-
veyor. Can anything be more absurd or monstrous than such
a state of things? Here are two ships, supposed to be the
finest in the world, which are only to be sailed by certain
persons, at a certain draught of water, and which require such
a delicate trim, that to destroy their sailing, it is only requi-
site to fit them for general service. There is not upon the
records of the Admiralty, we will venture to say, an instance
of a ship docked three times within 10 months merely for ex-
perimental sailing.
It was alleged, in explanation of the bad sailing of the
Superb, that the copper on the bottom was foul, and some
weeds were exhibited brought up by an apparatus put under
the ship; but with how little reason this excuse for docking
the ship can be maintained, we leave our readers to judge,
from the following extract from a morning paper of Thursday
last, and which we suppose would not have appeared without
sufficient authority :
" The Superb, 80, Captain A. L. Cory, went into Ports-
mouth Harbour on Tuesday, and into dock all standing yes-
terday. Her men are hulked on board the Victorious; her
copper was perfectly clean and in excellent order, not a
wrinkle or swell to be seen, it having been only flattened
down about sixteen weeks back. So soon as the water was
clear from the dock men were set on to rip off-the copper.
She will be fresh caulked and coppered. What ether mocess
she will undergo we cannot tell, but it is understood -tie
shipwrights and caulkers are to w. rk early and late to get
her ready to come out of dock to-morn The officers be-
longing to her do not know auy reason for this ship" coming
into dock. She did not leak, her copper was clean and
nearly new."
Had the Trafalgar been taken into dock, we should not
have been surprised, be cause the copper of that ship was
very much covered with weed, as is well known, and she
had not, previously to the cruise, had the advantage of
recent docking, common to all the other ships of the squa-
dron. These operations on the productions of the inspired
school of shipbuilding requisite to their perfect success, may
be considered very trifling ; but they are, at the same time,
very costly.

MRLANCHOLY ACCIDBXT.—KIRKCUDBRIGHT, OCT.
4.—A melancholy loss of life occurred here on the night of Tues-
day, or early on the morning of Wednesday last. Robert Cun-
ningham, of Linkens, occupying the farm of Nether Boreland,
off the town of Kirkcudbright, having been in the parish of Borgne
in the course of Tuesday, taking sheep to grass parks there, took
his seat in Forrest's coach, from Newten.Stewart, about Barhar.
row, in Bourge. On the coach crossing the ferry at Kirkcud-
bright, he was requested to keep his seat, but he declined, came off
the coach, saying —" No, no ; I don't wish to be drownneedcrionsedhias

Minutes before two o'clock, at which time it is supposed the gen-
tleman, unfortunately, under the impression that he had left his
horse at Castlesod, retraced his steps to Kirkcudbright, with the
view of re-crossing the ferry, and the night being very dark, missed
his way, and stepped over the quay, which is quite unprotected, and
fell into the dock. The accident is more to be regretted, that it
might have been prevented had our municipal authorities taken
the necessary and called.for precaution of putting a fence-chain
round the dock —a precaution more especially called for, as the
dock is right in the way of the ferry-boat, which is in demand at
all hours of time, night as well as day. We only hope that this
accident, with the previous one already referred to, will induce the
authorities to adopt immediate measures, both as regards the
dock and the ferry, to secure the safety of the public to an extent
which has not hitherto been. obtained, however loudly called for.—

ROCHESTER PETTY SESSIONS.—The mother of
the boy Mellen., who was sentenced to pay 15s. for stealing a few
walnuts valued at 6d., the property of Sir John Marshall, at Gill-
ingham, and whose case appeared in the London journals last week,
entered the court, and said that the money had been given her by
a gentleman named Underwood, at Gillingham, for the purpose of
releasing her son from going to prison. It appeared also that some
humane gentleman sent to the county court a post-office order for
the amount, and other sums had been forwarded for the same
benevolent object. The money was accordingly paid, and the
discharge made out. _ _

CITY IMPROVEMENTS.—In consequence of the new
improvements in the City, the parish church of St. Benet-
fink, in Threadneedle-street, is about to be pulled down. It
has been determined that the work of demolition should be
immediately commenced, but in consequence of the church
of the adjoining parish (to which St. Benetfink is thereafter
to be united) bring closed for repairs, the City authorities,

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Oct. 10.
(Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.)
IN RE BORDEWAVE.
The insolvent, described as a gentleman, residing in South-street,
Grosvenor- square, came up for his protection and interim order. He
had been living at many fashionable hotels At the West-end, but was
at present in custody. His debts were about 5,0001., without any
assets.
Mr. COOKE appeared to oppose on behalf of a Mr. Ogle, a solicitor,
as creditor on a bill of exchange for 2801., and also as trustee for a
Mr. Taites, a creditor to the amount of 1,5001.
Mr. LEWIS, the insolvent's solicitor, contended that Mr. Ogle was
not a creditor, and that as trustee he was not entitled to oppose.
The Learned COMMISSIONER said that he was not prepared to say
that he would not admit the opposition of a trustee with a cestui que
trust.
Mr. COOKE said that the real point was to prevent the insolvent
getting out of prison under the new Act, for if he succeeded in the pre-
sent application, it was morally certain that he would not attend again.
The Learned Counsel submitted that if he made out a primd facie
case, such as would bar the granting a final order then, that no pro-
tection ought to be granted.
Mr. LEWIS urged, on the contrary, that no opposition could be made
on the application.
The Learned COMMISSIONER said the better way would be to grant

the protection.
Mr. COOKE urgently pressed that he midlit prove that the insolvent
was not, on the merits of the case, entitled to his protection. The
fact was, he had been for a long time living at fashionable hotels,
holding himself out as having abundant means, and living in the first
style, but without any substantial means of meeting his engagements.
He had been drawing accommodation bills, and renewed others which
he was unable to pay. The bills were for 1,000/. and upwards.
Under the circumstances, he considered there were good grounds to
suppose the insolvent premeditated fraud, especially as he had spent
a large sum given by his father and mother, without paying off his
creditors, except by bills.
Mr. Ogle was examined as to whether he was actually a creditor,
and
The Learned Com:dustman, after reviewing the facts, decided on
net granting the protection.

SHERIFFS' COURT, Oct. 9.
(Before ➢ir. Under-Sheriff BURCHELL.)
FALSE IMPRISONMENT—DAMAGES HALF A FARTHING.

LIVINGSTON V. HAZELDINE.
This was an action for false imprisonment. Judgment bad
been suffered to go by default, and a writ of inquiry was now
executed for the assessment of damages.
Mr. Hawkins was for the plaintiff, and Mr. Ballantine for
the defendant. •
The plaintiff had hired an omnibus from the defendant, in
the name of David Livingston, and was now described in
the record as " Thomas Livingston, Esq." The vehicle was
seized for duty, and, besides losing the hire, the defendant
had to pay about 301. to get his own property back. A sum
of 51. had been paid by the plaintiff, who was given into
custody on a charge of obtaining the omnibus under false
pretences. He was taken to the Mansion-house, and after-
wards to Southwark Police-court, where he was discharged,
as the complaint was a matter of debt.
Counsel for the defence commented in strong terms on the
conduct of the parties bringing the action into Court.
The Learned UNDER-SHERIFF put the case to the jury
(who had previously. intimated that they were agreed) as
one in which the plaintiff was entitled to damages for the
charge made against him, and he took occasion to remark
that those who put the criminal law into force on a mere
matter of debt must abide by the consequences. The jury
would consider the name given by the plaintiff, and also the
evidence in respect to his conduct.
The jury consulted for a few minutes, and then said, "the
smallest coin will do for the plaintiff."
Mr. Under-Sheriff BtractiELL—Then, gentlemen, the
smallest coin now is half a farthing.—(A laugh.)
The jury said it would be sufficient, and the damages were
assessed at half a farthing!
WATTs V. O'CONNOR—FASHIONABLE TAILORS' CHARGES.
The plaintiff in this action is a tailor in St. James's-street,
and the defendant is a furrier in Rupert-street. The sum
claimed was 131. 135., for articles of dress supplied. The de-
fendant paid 10/. into Court, contending that that was the
fult value of the articles supplied.
The plaintiff's assistant foreman was called to prove the
delivery of the articles, and that the charges were fair and
reasonable.
Mr. BALLANTINE, who appeared on behalf of the defen-
dant, said he would admit that the goods had been delivered;
in fact, he had a vest and unmentionables in the Court, so
that tt.ejury themselves might judge of the value. Unfor-
tunately the coat had been given to a porter. As to the
charges, he must object. There was 5L 15s. Gd. for a frock
coat, and 10s. 6d. for facings; 31.35. for a vest, and 21.8 a. for
a pair of the " aforesaids ' and straps.—(Laughter.):
The Witness—The vest is down in the bill as a rich figured
silk velvet. The price charged can't be looked upon as un-
reasonable.
Mr. BALLANTINE—Of course. The—those articles—l
won't mention them—(Laughter)—what are they worth ?
Witness-21. Bs.
Mr. RALLastmtt —What are they honestly worth ? Wit-
ness—That depends a great deal upon circumstances.
Mr. BALLANTINE—IS the defendant what you term a
" fashionable" man—one of those that you ought to make
fashionable charges to ? Witness—l do not know what you
mean.
Mr. BAILANTINE—You say you do not know anything
about fashionable men; pray tell me the quality—
Witness—The quality—the persons of quality?
Mr. BALLANTINE—No, certainly not ; but the quality of
this piece of cotton ?
IVitness—That cotton !—that's a piece of rich figured silk
velvet, and you'll find it so in the bill.—(Laughter.)
The witness said theirs was a "wages house," and they
allowed 15 per cent. for ready money.
Mr. Raiker, of Saville-row, tailor, deposed that the charges
were fair and reasonable, such as any respectable house would
charge. There was, however, a greater difference between the
charges at the west-end than there was between the west-
end and Whitechapel.—(Laughter.)
Another witness said the charges were rather under than
over [some of the jury shrugged their shoulders]. It was
the custom also to charge interest on the account after the
first year of credit bad expired.
Mr. BALLANTINE—Very good. It is 15 per cent. discount
for ready money. Pray how much interest is put on to men
of rank and fashionable men who don't pay up at the time,
but are " certain?"—(Laughter.) The witness's memory
did not serve him to enable him to say what has been the
usual charge.
In answer to :the Learned Counsel's question as to the
point of distinction between the Noble Duke, the man of
fashion, and the aspirant, the witness said, "Dress was all,
and those who would have such dresses ought to pay for
them."—(Laughter.)
Mr. G. Christie, tailor, 11, Old Burlington-street, said the
charge was fair according to the locality. Rents were high,
and the charges in proportion.—(Laughter.)
111 r. Jones, a draper, deposed that the velvet of the vest
was of first-rate quality—real French, legally imported, and
worth 30s. a yard.
A Juror—Do you mean to say that's French velvet, and
worth 30s. a yard? Witness—Yes, I do, and would say so
before any gentleman. lamon my oath.
Juror-I have no doubt what you would say to gentlemen,
and we know you are on your oath.
Mr. BALLANTINE addressed the jury, and said that he
should leave the question to the jury as to whether the
charges were fair and reasonable as against the defendant.
Men of rank and men of fashion, who dealt with fishionable
tailors, might expect to pay for the fashion. They probably
had long credit, and sometimes, by accident, the account was
never settled.—(Laughter.) He did not mean to say that
the tradesman should not protect himself by charging so as
to make good debts pay for the bad, but it was very different
in the case of one tradesman dealing with another. A tailor
might deduct 15 per cent. from a nobleman or guardsman,
after laying it on" in the bill, or charge interest for six or
seven years, but he was not entitled to put exorbitant credit
charges on a fellow-tradesman, who was called upon to pay
within two menths.
The jury returned a verdict for the defendant, and said the
plaintiff had already been overpaid.

then abruptly left him. Nearly directly afterwards he missed
his watch from his waistcoat pocket, and found that his silver guard
chain had been torn asunder. The prisuner was then running
away as fast as she could, but he (witness) pursued her, raising a
cry of" Stop thief!" which she joined In as she ran. She was,
however, secured by a police-constable of the C division, but on
being searched at the station-house, the watch was not found
on her. . .

Mr. HARDWICK (to the prosecutor_:—How long before you
missed your watch had you seen it safe.
Prosecutor—About half a minute, but the prisoner had plenty
of time to get rid of it as she was running away.
Mr. HARDWICK said it was a case to go to a jury, but in order
to allow time for the apprehension of the prisoner's confederate, he
should remand her for a few days.
SOUJ H WARK.
SINGULAR CHARGE OF FELONY.—Alfred Gaze, a young
man, by trade a paper-hanger, was brought before Mr. Cot-
tingham, charged with stealing a curious snuff-box, manu-
factured from a deer's-hoof, the property of Mr. William
Stacy, landlord of the Ship and rilot, Bermondsey-wall,
under the following rather singular circumstances :
From the statement of the complainant, it appeared that,
on Saturday last, the snuff box was missed from a shelf on
which it was usually kept in the bar of his house. He
was afterwards informed that the snuff-box had been seen
by a friend of his in the shop-window of a silversmith. The
complainant immediately proceeded to the silversmith, and
the latter, without hesitation, said the box had been left with
him to repair, and to have the name of Alfred Gaze engraved
upon the lid. The complainant having ascertained the ad-
dress of that person, at once went to his lodgings in Ber-
mondsey-street, and he at once admitted that he left it there
for repair, and was accordingly given into custody. The
complainant added that at the station-house the prisoner
gave a very singular account of the manner in which he be-
came possessed of the article, the truth or falsehood of which
he (the complainant) had no means of ascertaining. He
was bound to say, however, that he had received an excel-
ent character of the accused.
Mr. Corrnvoitaat now called upon the accused to give his
explanation of the stolen box being traced to him.
The prisoner said he was the owner of a very sagacious
little dog, and that on the day in question he met it in the
street running towards him, near his residence, with a cu-
riously made snuff-box in its mouth. When the dog came
up to him be took the box out of his mouth and deposited it
in his pocket. Being entirely ignorant of the owner, and
finding chat it wanted some repairs, he left it at the silver-
smith's shop to have the hinges repaired and his name en-
graved on the lid. 4
The MAGISTRATE said it was certainly a very singular way
of accounting for the possession of an article that was al-
leged to have been stolen, and inquired if the dog was known
to have thievish propensities.
The prisoner said that his dog was very much in the habit
of taking away small articles from houses, and that lie was
known before now to carry off shoes and stockings, and va-
rious things.
Mr. Orrrismatax inquired if there was any person in
court who knew the prisoner, when his landlord stepped
forward, and in reply to the questions of the magistrate he
gave the accused an excellent character. He also corrobo-
rated the fact of the dog being frequently known to run
away with various articles before. That the prisoner in-
formed him of the circumstance of finding a curious snuff-
box in the animal's month, and of his leaving it to he
repaired at a silversmith's shop, and that he made no secret
of the matter, but mentioned it in the presence of several
persons.
The prisoner said he was not in the bar of the com-
plainant's house at all, and that the dog must either have
found his way in there and taken the snuff-box, or else
have picked it up in the street.
Mr. Cormotrast said, that it was the prisoner's duty to
have made every inquiry to find the owner of the box, after
taking it from his dog, before lie converted it to his own
use. He was afraid the dog was encouraged in dishonest
tricks ; for he appeared, from all accounts, to be a very adept
thief, and he might get his owner into a very serious scrape.
However, it appeared the accused was a man of character,
and that when he got the box he did not attempt any con-
cealment of it. With the recommendation, therefore, that
the dog might be speedily broken of such tricks, he should
discharge the complaint.
The prisoner then left the court with his friends, the sil-
versmith having restored the snuff-box to the real owner.
LAMB L, TH.
EXTRAORDINARY CASE.—Mrs. Rosetta Ann Robinson, who
described herself as the wife of a barrister, and whose appear-
ance, from the very peculiar style of her dress, her tall and
commanding figure, attracted the gaze of the numerous spec-
tators in Court, Jane Price Fish, and John Cheesentan Ross,
were placed before Mr. Henry, on the following singular
charge.
Mr. Games attended on behalf of Mrs. Robinson.
The short facts of the case were tbese :—Between the hours
of one and two o'clock on Wednesday, the prisoners drove up
to the King's Head tavern, at Norwood, in a gig, and getting
out, they desired the ostler to take out the horse. They then
went into the house, and requested to be shown to a private
room, and they were taken to an apartment on the first floor.
The females went up stairs into a bedroom, but returned to
their male companion in a few moments, and called for half a
pint of gin, with which they were served. The prisoner Robin-
son made several inquiries about a fortune-teller in the neigh-
bourhood, and asked if 30s. would be a sufficient fee to have
their fortunes told. They then left the house, and returned in
about an hour, when they were shown into a room on the
ground floor, where they had another half-pint of gin. The
landlady, Mrs. Mabley, saw the prisoner Robinson, who wa
dressed in a riding habit, with a hat and long veil, comes
down stairs, and leave the house in a hurried manner. This
excited the landlady's suspicion, and caused her to go up to
her bed-room, when she missed from her drawers a piece of
satin. She instantly hurried down stairs, and -sent the pot-
man after the prisoner to request she would return, but in-
stead of doing so she was going on towards town, and was
ultimately taken into custody, and brought back to the
King's Head. On being accused of stealing the satin, she
replied, "If I have stolen it I must have been dreaming ;"
but the daughter of Mrs. Mabley and another witness dis-
tinctly saw the prisoner throw the satin into a ditch, from
which it was taken. The male prisoner, upon the accusation
of felony being made against his companion, became most
violent, struck the landlady and her daughter, and also the
policeman.
After the witnesses had been examined in support of the
accusation, a respectable-looking man entered the witness-
box and requested to be heard for a few minutes.
He said that three weeks ago Mrs. Robinson and her hus-
band took apartments at his house, No. 19, Gloucester-street,
Queen-square, Bloomsbury, and Mr. Robinson, he understood,
was a professional gentleman, and was at present out of
town. On the day before Mrs. Robinson invited his wife,
who was one of the prisoners, to join her in a pic-nic party,
and it appeared they left the house together, and he was
astonished on receiving information on that morning that
they were locked up in Brixton station .honse.
In reply to the question of Mr. HENRY, Mr. Fish said he
bad not seen Mr. Robinson himself, but he understood him
to be " in the law," and the female prisoner Robinson, whom
he had represented to be his wife, had always conducted her-
self, up to the present, as Tar as he could learn, with great
propriety.
Mr. Yeomans, a livery-stable keeper in Guildford-street,
Russell-square, said that Mr. Robinson, the husband of the
female prisoner of that name, had been in the habit of keep-
ing his horses at his stables for some years, and at present
had two horses and a pony there. Last week he received a
note from Mr. Robinson, stating that be was going to the
country, and requesting he would take great care of his
horses in his absence. On Sunday last he received directions
from Mrs. Robinson to have a horse and gig, and her pony,
pic-nic party, and that as Mr.
with a side-saddle, at her door on Wednesday morning She
was to accompany her, was rather
requested a steady horse might be put
then stated that herself and another lady and gentleman were
noif her husband's, as they were too

fresh to be driven by her friend Ross. He (Mr. Yeomans)
accordingly sent a horse of his own in the gig, and the pony
with a side-saddle, to 19, Gloucester-street, Queen-square,
and he heard no more about them till that morning, when he
found the prisoners locked up, and his horse and gig detained
at the King's Head.
Mr. HENRY inquired what had become of the pony, and
one of the constables said, that from what he had learned, it
appeared that on riding along the Blackfriars-road the pony
fell under Mrs. Robinson, and so injured its knees that she left
is at Wilson's livery stables, and rode in the gig with her com-
panions.
Mrs. Robinson, in reply to the charge, said she must have
taken the piece of satin from the room in the folds of her
riding habit by mistake, as she never could have thought of
stealing it. She was married, she said, to Mr. Robinson, who
ki a law student, in the Isle of Wight, last summer, but she
did not recollect the name of the church where the ceremony
was performed.
Ross said he had been a manufacturer of sail cloth some
time ago, but lost all his money, and was living at present
by agencies. He knew Mrs. Robinson to be a lady of re-
spectability, and he understood of large property, and he
considered her quite incapable of being guilty of the offence
laid to her charge.
Mr. HENRY committed Mrs. Robinson to take her trial on
the charge of felony, and Ross also to take his trial for the
assault at the Surrey sessions. Mrs. Fish was discharged.
The prisoners will be brought up again on Monday.
WORSHIP-STREET,

BASE INGRATITUDE.—A man named John Hopkins was '
placed at the bar, for final examination, charged with having
stolen a quantity Of household furniture and wearing ap-
parel, the property of James Freeman, a cab driver, under
the following very aggravating and peculiar circumstances.
]t appeared from the statement of the prosecutor, that
about four months ago he accidentally became acquainted
with the prisoner, who represented himself to be in a state
of utter destitution, and worked upon his feelings with such
a piteous tale of distress, that he not only afforded him im-
mediate rrlief, but agreed to receive him as an inmate in his
own house, until he was able to retrieve his circumstances.
The prisoner had only lived a short time under his roof, how-
ever, when he observed sufficient to convince him that he
had grossly abused his hospitality, and availed himself of
the opportunities it presented to cultivate an improper inti-
macy with his wife, and he accordingly gave him notice
to seek another abode. On the morning after this intimation
had been given, he was astonished to find on returning home
from his night's labour, that his wife and the prisoner had
eloped together, taking with them everything lie possessed,
including even his clothes and bed, and had left nothing but
the bare walls. He gave immediate information of the
robbery to the police, and the fugitives were t
theraced to a
house in Marman-street, Commercial-road, where greater
part of the stolen property was discovere, and the prisoner
who had on him a waistcoat belonging to the prosecutor was
immediately given into custody.
William Long, a carman, proved that he had been em-
ployed by the prosecutor's wife to remove the property in a
van from her husband's house, and that he was joined at the
end of the street by the prisoner, wno, on their arrival at the
Commercial-road, assisted in unloading the van, and de-
positing the goods in the house where they were afterwards
discovered.
In answer to the charge the prisoner declared that the wife
had retained possession of the property, and denied having
himself exercised any ownership over it, or taken part in its
removal.
Mr. BROUGHTON severely animadverted upon the gross in-
gratitude the prisoner had displayed towards the man who
had befriended him in his utmost need, and ordered him to
be fully committed on the cl-atge of felony.
HA MAIER SM I TH.
EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF VlOLATToN.—Thursday Mr.
Clrnent Hamblestone, a master butcher, living in Strong's-
Wace, Fulham-road, was placed at the bar by Inspector
Morgan, before 111 r. G. Clive, the sitting magistrate, charged
on the police sheet with having violated the person of Mrs.
Maria Dell, a married woman, living at Brompton.
Mr. J. Bird, solicitor of Hammersmith, attended to defend
the prisoner.
Mrs. Maria Dell, a respectably dressed female, apparently
about forty-five years of age, deposed that she was the wite
of William Dell, re,idim.t• at No. 1, Prospect-place, Old
Brompton. On the forenoon of Tuesday last, while passing
the shop of the prisoner in Strong's-place, Fulham-road, she
saw him standing at his doer, and he calied her to come in.
She told him she should be back in a minute or two, as she
was only going two (hors further. She did return in about
three or four minutes afterwards, when the pris. trier was stilt
standing at the door, and he told her he had something par-
Ocular to say to her, if she w(luldconv in. She accordingly
went in, and followed the prisoner Ito the parlour behind

the shop. The prisoner then went up stairs, and returned
immediately with a bottle of gin, and pressed her to have
some. She took a small quantity. The remainder of corn-
plainaut's evidence charged the prisoner with f rcible viola-

By Mr. CLlVE—Witness during the whole time kept telling
he prisoner if he did not leave her alone she would tell her

husband. Witness had said, when she applied with her
husband on the previous day at that court, that she had
. .

called out loudly, but she meant that she had ealled out loud
enough for persons to hear that she would tell her husband of

it. About five minutes after the occurrence an old gentleman
came into the parlour. She was at that time sitting on a
chair, being quite exhausted by her struggles. Told the
prisoner in the presence of the old gentlemen that she would
tell her husband, and the prisoner offered her anvthina not
to tell her husband and the old gentlemen said," Oh, no;
don't tell your husband." Witness, however, on leaving the
prisoner's house, went direct home and told her husband,
who went back with her, when the prisoner acknowledged
he was the guilty man, and that she (witness) was not in
fault. Prisoner also said he would come up in the evening
and talk the matter over. The prisoner did come in the
evening to witness's house, and said he wanted witness's
husband to make it up. Witness's husband had a knife in
his hand at the time, and the prisoner said to him, " Run it

through me, for I deserve it !"
The complainant was cross-examined by Mr. Bird—
Denied she had ever drunk gin or beer in prisoner's shop
before. The shop was a small one, and there was a glazed
window in the door leading to the parlour. Believed pri-
soner locked the door when they entered, and that she was
in the room a quarter or it might be half an hour altogether

~ .
Witness went into the shop to try and find a policeman, in-
tending to give the prisoner in charge. but not seeing one she
threw a piece of meat into the street, thinking it would
attract attention. Would swear that she did not steal a

piece of beef out of the shop. While in the parlour the pri-
soner brought her in part of a shoulder of mutton wrap-
up in paper, and wanted her to take it, but she refused.
Would swear that she put no beef into her basket. Would
. .

swear positively that she threw the salt beef into the street,
and did not take it home with her. Did not say, when she
left the prisoner's shop, that she would go home and tell her
husband that the prisoner had kissed her. Did not see her
husband shake hands with the prisoner on leaving the shop
after she had gone back with him. Had made no communi-
cation to any one until she saw her husband. Had known
the prisoner during the last eight years. He used to call on
her at her house before she was last married. Had had no
connexion with him since her marriage until last Tuesday.

Had been married twice. Her first husband's name was
Wayte. Would not answer as to whether anything took
place between her and the prisoner before her marriage. Was
last married on Whit-Monday of the present year. After it
had happened, the prisoner went into the shop several times
to serve customers who came in, but Chen the old gentleman
was there

Mr. Bird submitted that the evidence of the witness was
so grossly prevaricatory and contradictory throughout that
no credit ought to be given to any of her statements. It
was clear that although there were several persons in the
shop who were served by the prisoner, she did not make
any alarm or complaint, although she had every opportunity
of doing so, but, according to her own testimony, she re-
mained for three-quarters of an hour with the man whom
she now charged with violating her. As to her statement
about throwing a piece of beef into the street in order to
attract attention, he was prepared to show a far different
case ; for his instructions were, that when Mrs. Dell came
back to the prisoner's shop with her husband, the latter
asked the prisoner if he had not taken indecent liberties with
his wife, which was all that she had told her husband, and
the prisoner said, " Why I did kiss her. as I have known her
for years, long before you did ;" and they all shook hands
together, and parted friends. He was also prepared to prove
that when Mrs. Dell came out of the parlour she sat herself

down in the shop, and said, " Now I think of it, I'll not go
till I have something for dinner. I'll have that piece of
roasting beef." The prisoner said that was for a customer, so
she could not have it ; and offered her two mutton chops, but
she put the beef into her basket, and the prisoner was obliged
to take it away from her. She then took up the piece of salt
beef, when the prisoner said he could not put up with that;
and she then threatened that she would go home and tell
her husband that the prisoner had kissed her, and there would
be " a row." He then called
Mr. Hugh Harding, a retired goldsmith, residing at N 0.3,
Marlborough-rlad. Had called upon the prisoner on the day
mentioned by complainant. This witness proved that the
door of the parlour was open, and that any person could see
into the room from the shoo. Upon his entrance Mrs. Dell
was there, but did not appear excited and alarmed, nor was
her apparel disordered. The evidence of the witness went
generally to corroborate the statement of the solicitor
regarding Mrs. Dell's conduct in the shop, and the parties
shaking hands togetherwhen she returned with her husband.
Mr. Bird was proceeding to call other witnesses ; but
Mr. CLIVE said the case was one in which the prisoner was
charged with a capital offence, and not an indecent assault.
There were several contradictions in the evidence of Mrs.
Dell, and he did not think any jury would place much re-
liance on her statement.
The MAGISTRATE discharged the' prisoner, and said the
complainant might indict him if she pleased.
The accused was then liberated.
WANDSIVORTFL
THE RICHMOND RAILWAY.—IMPORTANT APPLICATION.—
Mr. Evan Morris, solicitor, and vestry-clerk of Putney, ap-
peared before Mr. Clive with his client, Mr. Thomas Atkins,
who is the lessee of some property on the line of the Rich-
mond Railway, and made application for a summons against
the promoters of the said railway, for having trespassed and
committed damage upon that gentleman's land without
affording him compensation or obtaining his consent to the
same.
Mr. Morris said he made his application under the Bth and
9th of Victoria, cap. 18, which was an Act for consolidating
in one Act certain provisions generally inserted in Acts au-
thorising the taking of lands for undertakings of a public
nature. This Act was one of the general Acts regulating
railway companies, to the provisions and penalties of which
the promoters of railways bound themselves in their private
Act, and the Bth and 9th of Victoria, cap. 121, or Richmond
Railway Act, acknowledged their authority. He would now
apply, under the 89th section of the Sth and 9th Victoria,
cap. 18, which enacted as follows :—" If the promoters of
the undertaking, or any of their contractor,, shall wilfully
enter upon, and take possession of, any lands which shall be
required to be purchased, or permanently used, for the pur-
poses of the said Act, without such consent as aforesaid, or
without having made such payment for the benefit of the
parties interested in the Imds, or such deposit by way of se-
curity as aforesaid, the promoters of the undertaking shall
forfeit to the party in possession of such land the sum of 10/.
over and above the amount of any damage done to such lands
by reason of such entry and taking possession as aforesaid.
Such penalty and damage respectively to be recovered before
two justices; and if the promoters of the undertaking, or their
contractors, shall, after conviction in such penalty as afore-
said, continue in unlawful possession of any such lands, the
promoters of the undertaking shall be liable to forfeit the sum
of 251. for every day they or their contractors shall remain in
possession as aforesaid; such penalty to be recovered by the
party in possession of such lands, with costs, by action in
any of the superior courts." The solicitor said lie would be
prepared to show that no consent had been given by his
client, no money had been deposited as security or paid,
and that, in fact, a direct trespass had been committed.
Mr. CLIVE asked if no application had been made by the
Company or their agents for the land?
Solicitor—We have given in an estimate of the value of the
property required by the Company, but they have made us
an offer so much lower than the real value, that we could not
consent to take it. Nevertheless they have gone and taken
possession of the land as if it were their own.
Mr. Atkins said they came on the land even before they
had made an offer for its purchase.
Mr. CLIVE asked where the land was situated, and of what
extent the portion was the company required ?
The Solicitor said the piece was known by the name of the
" Walk," it was about 80 or 90 feet deep, and 40 feet broad,
and situated at the commencement of the osier bed opposite
the Adelaide Inn.
Mr. CLIVE asked what damage had been done?
The Solicitor said the contractors had cut down sixteen
willow trees of a foot and a half in diameter, and dug a deep
ditch on the premises.
The Solicitor observed that the present was not a solitary
instance of the Company taking possession of property with-
out coming to terms with the proprietors. At Barnes they
attempted the same thing, but the proprietor warned them off
his premises, and they went away.
Mr. CLIVE asked who was the Chairman of the Directors?
The Solicitor said the name of Wm. Chadwick was first in
the list of direction, as published in the Act.
Mr. CLIVE suggested that if a summons was issued it
should be made out against the promoters of the railway,
and that it should be served upon the chairman or secretary.
The Solicitor, in answer to a question from the Bench, said
he should assess the damage done at 1001.
Mr. CLIVE then ordered a summons to be issued against the
promoters of the Richmond Railway, and Tuesday next, at
eleven o'clock, was fixed for its hearing.
