d f ndtnts to surrender, to which Mr. Clarkson replied that
they could not ascertain who the " prosecutor " really was,
and the only person who appeared in the matter was one Moses
Jacobs (who has since been sent.nced to six months' imprison-
ment for endeavouring to extort money under the pretence of
charging persons with keeping disorderly hou-es), and although
he only acted as clerk for an attorney who conduced the case,
there was reason to 13,-lieve that he was the real prosecutor,
but still be did not appear, legally, in that character, so that,
in point of fact, they did not know who to serve the notice
upon. The Court, under these circumstances, directed that.
a notice upon the party who appeared as attorney in the cause
should be deemed sufficient, and the case stood over to the
present assizes upon that footing.
One of the defendants, named Henry Oldfield, now appeared
to answer the charge made agaiost him, and an affidavit made
by his attorney was put in, which stated that notice of the
intention of the defendant to surrender had been served upon
the person who acted as the attorney for the prosecution ; and
the defendant himself made an affidavit that he was entirely
innocent of the charge, and that overtures had been made to
him to compromise the matter, and that he believed the pro-
secution had been got up by Moses Jacobs, and that the
object was not to carry out the ends of justice, but merely to
extort money from the parties who had been indicted.
Mr. Justice Coleridge, having read the affidavits, and ascer-
tained that no one appeared for the prosecution, said he thought
the defendant had done all that could be required of him, and
therefore he was entitled to an acquittal.
The jury accordingly, under the direction of his Lordship,
returned a verdict of Not Guilty.

Solomon Shadbolt, 47, George Shadbolt, 25, Benjamin
Shadbolt, 20, and Jonathan Shadbolt, 26, all described as la-
bowers, were indicted for a burglary of a very daring charac-
ter in the dwelling-house of Priscilla Blundell, at the parish of
Little Wvmonsley.
Mr. Ryland prosecuteel. Mr. Lydeker defended Solomon
Shadbolt, ana Mr. Hawkins and Mr. T. Chambers appeared
for the other prisoners.
This case came on on Friday, and from the voluminous na-
ture of the evidence it occupied the Court until late in
the day.
The prosecutrix deposed that she kept a general shop in the
above village, and on the night of the 3d February she went to
bed, leaving the house properly secured—in the course of the
night she was awoke by hearing the footsteps of men over her
head in an upstairs room, and very soon afterwards she saw the
hand's of her bed-room door turned twice, but no further at•
tempt was made to gain admittance. She was too much
frightened to give any alarm, and the next morning, on her
going down stairs, she discovered that the house had been ran-
sacked, and a large quantity of property, consisting of wearing
apparel. flannel, calico, tea, &c., removed.
The officers then produced several large bundles, containing
articles found in the possession of the prisoners, and several
things were identified by the prosecutrix.
Two inspectors of the Herta constabulary, named Good and
Bankes, were then examined, and it appeared that, in the be-
ginning of April, they searched the cottages of the prisoners
Solomon, Benjamin, and George, at Burnham-green, about
eight miles from the residence of the prosecutor, and they there
fund all the articles they had produced, together with a chisel
and centre bit, that corresponded in size with the marks upon
the door of the prn'ecutrix's house. The other prisoner, Jona-
than, was apprehended in London, and at his lodgings some
n•ore of the stolen property was discovered. It also appeared
that while the prisoners Benjamin and George were in the
custody of the police, one of them said to the other, " I suppose
we shall be transported for this;" to which the reply was, 6. I
suppose we shall, but if we had not been at home that night,
the should have had a job t , catch us." The prosecutrix.
of course, from the nature of the articles stolen. was unsble to
identify them positively, but it was rather singular that the
prisoners having carelessly thrown about the tickets with the
prices, that had been attached to many of them, she was enabled
to identify them positively, from their having her handwriting
upon them.
The jury found all the prisoners Guilty. . _

Evide'nc-e was then gi;en that Solorn-on had been before
connected of felony, and the constables stated that they had
every reason to believe that the whole of the prisoners were
connected with a daring gang of depredators. The stolen pro-
perty was, in the first in4ance, sent to London, where it was
divided, Jonathan retaining his portion, and dispo•tng of it,
and the remainder was then sent back to the other prisoners'
cottages, where it was f iutid, as stated by the police.
Mr Justice COLERIDGE sentenced Solomon Shadbolt to be
transported for twenty, and the others for fifteen, years.

SURREY SESSIONS.
(Bef,ire Mr. Pucimx and a Bench of Magistrates.)
On Thursdiy James Bowesly aged fifty, described as a
schoolmaster. in William-street. Poplar-row, in the parish of
Newington. was indicted for indecently assaulting two little
gills named Palmer, sisters, who attended his school.
From the evidence it appeared that the. defendant arid his
wife conducted an infant sehool, and that it was part of his
duty to teach the female children, as well as the males, writing
and arithmetic, In the performance of that office, it was given
in evidence that the defendant had behaved with gross inde-
cency to some a the female children, but more especially to
two girls, sisters, of the name of Palmer, the daughters of a
decent mechanic. The children were at first a.raid to mention
what had taken place at the school when they got home; but
one of them having confided to another the circumstances, the►
deiendisit's gross conduct at length came to the knowledge of
the children's parents, and thlr, in consequence, instituted the
present prosecution against him The children, in the course
of their examination, gave similar testimony to that which
they had recently done at the police-court, and which has
already appeared.
The defendent denied the charge. and insinuated that it was
got up against him in order to remove him from his situation.
There, however, being no grounds for such an assertion as that
uttered by the defendant, the jury found him guilty, and he was
sentenced. to six months' imprisonment.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(SATURDAY.)
MANSION-HOUSE.

A black-bearded, ill-conditioned fellow, named Ned
Nowlan, app• area before the Lord Mayor, upon the
charge of having clf•serted his wife, Mary INT.wlan.
Mary Nowlan deposed that she had been married tq
the d•-f•ndant about the middle of August, sixteen years
ago i • ttett he had deserted her for a younger woman, one
Sa-ah stulhearn.

The LORD MAYOR—WeII, Mr. Nowlan, what have
you to •ay in answer to the accu'ation of having aban-
doned your wife? Nowlan—Och, faith, I have an
answer for her. Devil a bit of her was ever married to

Mary Nowlan—Warn't we, though? Faith, and that
we were, to my sorrow, fast enough, legally and lawfully.
Nowlan—Why, you know we were only tacked toge-
ther ; and the person that tacked us had no right to
marry. You know I gave him eighteenpence for the
joh.—(Laughter.)
Mare Nowlan—Hadn't he any right, though ? That
won't do, Mr. Nowlan. You know well enough that he
had Pl. ase your lionour (to the Lord Mayor) he was
as good a parish priest as ever married a couple. Fa-
ther Quin was his name, and may the Lord bless him,
and every holy man like him.
The LORD NIAYOR—WhPre were you married? Now-
ian—We were not married—never—upon my sowl ; all
that was done waa juat tacking.
Mary Nowlan—We were married. please your Lord-
Alp, at the private apartments of Father Quin, a thing
that's quite usual in Ireland. Ah ! then, Nowlan, how
can you talk so ?

Nowlan—Talk so ? Ynu know you'r- no wife of
mine. B •sides y..ur Lor&hip she absconded from me,
so that she has no call to me at all.

The LORD MAYOR—Pray how could she abseon I from
you if she didn't happen to be Your wife ? Nowlan—
She 'tut away from me at Manchester.
The LORD MAYOR—Why, yon are furnishing evi-
dence against yourself. Now. Mrs. Nowlan, Mary
Nowlan—Faith, ther, here I am, your Lordship.
The LORD MAYOR—You are a R tman Catholic, you
say ? Mary Nowlan (turning up h-r eyes and bl-ssing
herself)—Ah, then, the Lord knows I am,— (L utrhter.)
The LORD MAYOR— And your husband who stands
there is a Roman Catholic ? Mary Nowlan—Lori, yes
your worship. _ . . .
Nowlan—Not I. my Lord ; I'll be on my oath I'm • no
religion at all. I'm neither Catholic, nor Protestant,
nor anything else, as I'm ready to swear upon a sackful of
Bible-s.—(Laughter.)
The LORD MAYOR—Upon my word you appear to be
a very re,p,,,table man.—(4l laugh.) Pray what trade
are you ? Nowlan --A hatter.
Mary Now;an—Not he, your Lordship. I male a
hatter of him. I learned him the trade, but he is now
a regular duffer. He supports Sal Mulhearn by duffing,
and she swears she'll be the death of me on his account.
The LORD MAYOR—Did he regularly attend a Ro-
man Catholic chapel before he married you ? Mary
Nowlan—Certainly, he did ; both before and after.

The LORD MAYOR—I consider the marriage a per-
fectly good one, and you must come to an arrangement
with the parlqh officers about the support of your wife.
Mr. Nowlan. I remember a case of bigamy, the cir-
cumstances of which present a strong similarity. A
prisoner was charged with bigamy before Mr. Justice
Partison. The first marriage was proved to have taken
place in Ireland, and to have been performed by a Ro-
man Catholic priest ; but the prisoner insisted that it
was bad in point of law, as he was a Protestant at the
time of the marriage, and the woman was a Roman Ca-
tholic. The only evidence there was to prove that he
was a Roman Catholic was, that upon several occasions,
prior to the marriage, be attended mass ; a conviction
followed. Now, I convict Mr. Nowlan of having de-
serted his wife ; and I send him to prison for three
months.

Here a muttering was heard from a female voice in
the crowd outside the bar.

The LORD MAYOR—What noise is that ? Mrs. Now-
lan—My Lords that's Mrs. Mulhearn. My husband
swears that nothing but the sea shall ever separate him-
self and herself, and that she would rob an altar—(Christ
bless U 3 !)—to supply him with money.—(A laugh.)
The LORD MAYOR—Do you swear that you consider
yourself in danger from the threats of this woman ?
Mrs. Nowlan—l do, my Lord. When I called, at the
desire of the parish officers, to look after my husband,
she took me up in her arms and knocked me down, and
swore she would tear me into rib.nds.
Mrs. Mulhearn—l don't want to have anything to say
to her or her husband, my Lord. Let them both go off
together. If all her husbands—or the men she knows
every bit as well—follow her. she'll have plenty of 'em
after her, I can tell you.—(Laughter.)
The LORD MAYoR—I must order you to find bail, as
well as Mrs. Nowlan. _ _

Mrs. Nowlan and Mrs. Mulhearn were then locked up
in different compartments of the Mansion-house cage, so
that his Lordship found a way to separate them which
they little calculated upon.

Mr. COTTINOHAM said that he should reit-and the pri•
soner, in order to give an opportunity for other evidence
to be produced b fore he sent the case for trial. Tilt
Magistrate also remarked on the extraordinary conduct
of the police at the Bow-street station, in permitting a
man charged with highway robbery to drive the coin
plainant and policeman over from that place in his own
vehicle. to the Tower-street station. _ _

The prisoner wss th.n r,rnanded until Wednesday.

WANDSWOR TH.

On Saturday Mr. Paynter, the sittiue.. Magistrate, was
occupied for several hours in a case under the I:ew Bas-
tardy Act. The defendant was Mr. Robert Cook Mr ore.
of the firm of Bruce and Moore, medical fixture dealers
No. 24, St. Mary Axe ; and Emily Fi Id, a young
woman of respectable appearance, was the complainant.
Mr. Games conducted the case on the part of the com-
plainant, and Mr. Burn appeared for the defence.
Mr. Games said the complainant was the daughter of
poor but respectable people, living in the lower pert of
Norfolk. When she was about twenty-one years of age
she entered the service of Mrs. Moore, the widow of the
Rev. Robert Moore, rector of Clay-on-the-Sea, in the
county of Norfolk. The defendant, who is the eldest son
of Mr. Moore, commenced paying attentions that were
far from honourable to the complainant; After three
years' persecution the complainant quitted Mr. Moore's
service, upon these grounds only. She entered the
ftmily of Mr. Wain, of Manchester-street, Manchester-
square, and it was in this house, on the 22d of Septem-
Ler last, that the occurrence took place which led to the
present proceedings. On that occasion the famiiy were
out of town, and the defendant,whom his client had nk,ver
seen since she left Norfolk, came to the house. Some
conversation took place between the parties in the par-
lour, when the defendant suddenly seized the
com-
plainant by the waist, and after a desperate struggle on
her part, threw her on the sofa, and succeeded in his
object,. Soon afterwards the defendant's brother, a mere
youth, who was in the habit of visiting the complainant,
called. and the defendant walked away with him. The
result of this forcibht violation was the birth of a female
child on the 18th of June last.

The complainant having been sworn gave evidence in
support of the foregoing statement.
Cross-examin,4 by Mr. Burn—l persist instating that
I was never intimate with any other man.
Corbett Metcalf Nfoore stated that he was brother to
the defendant. He recollected going to No. 45, Kin-
chester-Areet, on the 22d of September last, and finding
his brother there.

John Wooding, a grocer, in the Plain, Wandsworth,
said the complainant was his niece, she came to his house
and was confined on Tuesday, the 18th of June.
The solicitor for the defence argued that no corrobo-
rative evidence of the defendant being the father of the
child bad been adduced.
Mr. PAYNTER siid there was no reasonable
doubt that the defendant was the father of the chi d,
and ordered hi t• to pay 2s. 6d. per week.
Mr. Burn said his client would appeal against the ma-
gistrate's deeisi( n.

11Yf•EIAN GVNERAL %GENT TO THE BM-
11SEI COLLEGE OF HEALTH.
Clll4- Breton, April 2, 1845.

To M-ssrs. Morison and Moat, 14.;ndon.

Dear was with feelings of d light that I
p-rased in the British jotm,als the ascendancy which
the Htgeisn system and medicines are rapidly attaining
in despite of the htsst of eeemies they have be• n opp seat
'o, an that at length there are symotoms of tha' justice
nein:: bestowed upon the .onniler that h s way frti it,, ti
v ,ors ago. The na'iae of the late ve,osrable J.trwss M• Is;
sen already well known to thousands in almost esety
corior of the globe. As one of his old soldiers and re-
!ieve.l ptients, I feel pleasure and duty prompting me
to cast in my mite in behalf of the noble cause, to which
I have been attached for a number of years ; at the
same time I do nor think it necessary to repeat such
eases as have been advertised over and over again, in
di,eases, and proclaimed to the world.
I shall therefore confine myself to astonishinfr, re-
coveries, made under God's blessing by the pills and
powder of the British Coll.sge of ' Health. since my last
report, and which has been crowned with victory, after
-the licensed practiloners had been forced to relingnish
all hope, and cons,-qu,ntly mutt be acceptable to all
true Hygeists.
Case I.—ln June, 1844, Donald I•Donald, aged
twenty-six, was brought to me in a deplorable concliti,ln,
he could not walk from tht3l. rgeness of the rupture in
dangerous and tender part, which had become so large
that it resembled a three half pint ink bottle. I gave
him a bandage, with directions to take up the same as
the rupture decreased. I put him on twenty pills daily,
1 and 2 alternate days, and desired him to disolve the
2's and wash ex-ernally with the decoction ; good signs
soon appeared and he continued about six weeks, when
a cure was performed; he is now in good health, and as
active as if he never had been afflicted.

Case 2.—Michael Doily, aged 13 years, brought to me
in August last, from his ancle to the knee of the right
leg the fl,sh had teen entirely eaten away by the evil,
which had all joined into one frightful sore, several
small bone: had worked out ; he had been declared in-
curable by the doctors. I kept him on daily purgation.
with alternate doses of Nos. 1 and 2, without intermis-
sion for nearly five months ; the only outward app!i-
cation was a salve. made by myself, to keep the dirt and
cold from the wound, with a cover of common adhesive
plaster to keep the salve to the part. He has been dis-
charged perfectly sound many weeks since, and his
father has recen.ly informed me that his boy is as well
as his heart could desire.

Case 4.—Ranna llill, E•q., for a considerable time
under the hands of the doctors, in a consumptiv'- dis-
ease, without benefit. Cured under the following treat-
ment:--three days, doses each day, six No. 1 pills; every
fourth day, a sufficient dose of No. 2's to carry off the
obnoxious matter collected by the preceding doses of
ones.
Case s.—Similar to No. 4 ; not at liberty to name the
individual.
Case 6.—William Rudderham, cured by Morison's
pills, of discharges of bloody urine. The doctors could
net assist him; he had long tried to no good purpose.
Case 7.—Fenenda Spencer, a young woman, had been
in a general decline for a long time ; when she first
commenced with the universal medicine, she did not
appear within the reach of human aid, but the List ac-
count her friends gave me was in hr,e words, " .he is
ge ting rapidly well. and the glow of health has again
,begun to bloom in her race."
t,ase B.—Thomas Townssna. of Louisburg, at de th's
door; violent crampings, vomiting and purging, resem-
bling the chol, ra. the doctor was of no service to him.
Strong doses of Morison's No. 2 pills gave relief, and
brought a perfect cure.

My wife had been labourinv under a very o-e.ere
and afflicting case of disease for a length of time, the
symptoms of which I denim unnecessary to state further
than that she had been confined to h, d for eighteen
months. The best medical advice and medicines our
island afforded were long sought for and administered,
but all to no good purpose. So very low and reduced
had she become, that a travelling minister actually
remained, and was detained by me for two days, for the
express purpose of committing her remains to the grave
and to improve the opportunity by preaching a funeral
at-rmon. I had also detained a medical gentleman under
my roof for eight days, at the end of which period he
gave up all hopes of her restoration to health.
It was then, sir, and not until then, that at the re-
commendation of a worthy Gospel Minister, I became
determined to test the efficacy of your medicines ;
although I must declare that my faith was reduced to a
very-low ebb in consequence of her very feeble and re-
duced condition. But what was our joy and amazment
to find, that after only twelve days' use of those most
invaluable pills, she was actually not only out of bed, hut
bustling about the house at her former occupation. She
is now perfectly restored. May God have the glory,
and, as the instrument in Ms hands, I return you
my best thanks for keeping so precious a medicine.

SUICIDE BY A MERCHANT IN THE CITY.--(From
a Correspondent.)—We regret to learn that Mr. Clements, late a
partner in the extensive and respectable firm of Messrs. G. Boils.
field and Co., woollen warehousemen, 60, Gracechurch-street, com-
mitted suicide during the night of Monday last. It appears that on
the 25th of June, only a fortnight ago, Mr. Clements ceased to be
a partner in the firm of Messrs Bousfield and Co., for whom he also
acted as traveller. and as such was well known throughout the
provinces. We understand that in all his commercial dealings Mr.
Clements was a man of unimpeachable integrity but prior to the
dissolution of partnership some unpleasant words having been ut.
tered in the warehouse, a separation was resolved on, after a service
of nearly forty years. After the dissolution of partnership Mr.
Clements commenced business as a woollen warehouseman in
Queen.street, Cheapside ; but a few days after he had taken pos.
session of the premises he seemed to be suffering from the effects
of indisposition, and was recommended to proceed to the country
to get a change of air. Accordingly he proceeded to Dartford,
Kent, where some of his friends reside, accompanied by his
daughter. On Monday evening he left his temporary residence
for the purpose of taking, as he said, a short walk in the fields.
As he did not return that night or the next worsting (Tuesday),
inquiries were made after him, and he was found lying in a field

tiURDER OF Mit. PALMER AND
EIGHT SEAMEN OF HER MAJESTY'S SLOOP

WASP.

Asmotrra, JULY 10.—The prisoners were again brought up,
and Cuqurreria desired to make an addition to his evidence of yes..
terday. On being permitted, and again sworn, he stated as fol.
lows : Emanuel Jose Alves was the man in the boat after he had
his bead cut open by the English quarter.master. As soon as he
came from the boat, on board the schooner again, he came forward
where the blood was, and took it up with both hands and drank it:
Emanuel Prangs& Roitegres. a black, and native of the Isle
of France, was then etamined it considerable length. He
deposed to having been engaged by the prisoner Serval as
a servant, and to his having subsequently gone to sea in
the Echo, which took on board 434 slaves at Lagos. She was
captured by the British. 'He was placed in a boat with sin
others and towed at the stern of the prise. When he had
been there about half an hour he heard a noise from the deck of
the schooner. He could not see what was doing, but about ten
minutes after he first heard the noise he saw two bodies of white
men disappear in the water. In the place where they went down
the water was led. I also saw two blacks swim ming. They had
blue shirts on. Serve said about two minutes after, " Haul the
bust up. there is no more danger." I still heard the same noise. I
heard a voice twice, and I rather think it was Serva's, saying in
Portugnese, " Kill, kill." Serve called to us to pull up the boat,
and I then got on deck, and saw four of the prisoners wounded on
the head. They were passing handkerchiefs over their heads.
Another had a wound on the side. There was blood on the deck.
There was a large quantity on the starboard side forward. The
prisoner then gave directions so as to get alongside the Echo to
board her. Several of the men objected. The other party
then said, "We must; give it up, because we have no arms."
Serve then said, " Pass by the Echo, and fire into her mainmast."
One of the guns was then fired. Serve then claimed the vessel for
his owners. The witness then detailed the circumstance of the
recapture of the Star. _

The witness was subjected to a long cross-examination by the
solicitor for the prisoners, but nothing of any importance was
elicited. The Court then adjourned to

FRIDAY.— On the prisoners being brought up this day_ the third
approver—a negro slave, who had obtained his freedom by touching
en the British soil—was examined. At the time of the affray he
was in bed, and refused, when urged to do so, " to take any part in
the quarrel between the whites." He described the appearance
of the vessel, and the language used by the prisoners after the
English bad been destroyed, and in these respects his evidence was
confirmatory of that previously adduced.

_ .
The Court then committed the ten prisoners on the charge of
Wilful Murder on the high seas. It will be for the Crown to de.
termine whether they shall be tried at Exeter or in the Central
Criminal Court.
