chester and Cheshire Junction, both sharing a similar
fate after an unprecedented stfuggle. At last the Man- I
chester and Birmingham Bill passed, but clauses were
inserted in it binding the Company to construct the
Macclesfield branch. The line was completed so fur as
to be capable of being worked last week, and was in-
spett d on Friday last by General Sir Charles Pasley,
the Government inspector of railways, and pronounced
fit for the public use.
Arrangements were made by the Directors to open
the line yesterday with éclat, and the people of that
borough likewise took part in the public rejoicing. At
eleven o'clock in the morning a special train of car-
riages left the Macclesfield station amidst great cheer-
ing, the hills and approaches to the line being com-
pletely crowded with people, and arrived at Manchester
in 37 minutes, the distance being 17 miles. At Man-
chester they were met by the Directors of the Man-
chester and Birmingham Railway, and a numerous
party of gentlemen, and at a quarter past two they re-
turned to Macclesfield. The line diverges from the
Manchester and Birmingham line at Cheadle, Hulme,
in the county of Chester, passing through Cheadle,
Moseley, Bramall, Poynton (where it crosses the turn-
pike-road), Adlington, Bretley, Titterington, and
Prestbury, to Macclesfield, there being one tunnel about
250 yards along the line. Unfortunately the weather
was foggy, otherwise magnificent views of the seats of
Sir Salisbury Humphreys, Bart. ; C. B. Legh, Esq ,
M. P. ; Thomas Legh, Esq., of Lynn, and Shrugley Hall,
would have been obtained.
The train and visitors were saluted with loud cheers
upon their arrival at the station. A procession was at
once formed, headed by a band of music, and the gen-
tlemen proceeded to the Town-hall, where a splendid
collation was provided for the occasion. Amongst the
gentlemen present we observed John Brocklehurst, Esq.,
M.P. ; Thomas Grimsditch, Esq.. M.P. ; J. P. Westland,
Esq., chairman of the Manchester and Birmingham
boards ; Mr. Rawson, Watkin Lees. and Edward Tootal,

ford, Esq., mayor of Congleton ; Hon. T. A. Erskine,
Wm. Hill, Esq., Charles Gibson, Esq., town-clerk of
Salford ; Thomas Brodrick, Esq., &c. &c. The festi-
vities passed off with great eclat ; and a great number of
toasts and sentiments having been drunk, the party
broke up about nine o'clock.

LA W INTELLIGENCE.
VICE-CHANCELLORS' COURT, Nov. 26.
His Honour the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND sat in his
Court in Lincoln's Inn to-day, at two o'clock, for the pur-
pose, as stated yesterday, of hearing the case of
DAVIS V. COMDERMERE.
The question in the case is of no public importance.
His Hosoua made the order as prayed.

The writer of a ramble over the North British line
from Burnrnouth to Dunglass-bridge sums up his tour as
follows :—" Upon the whole, judging from other rail-
ways, the North British may be said to be executed in a
fair average !manner, although occasionally it is clear
that cheapness of construction has been carried a little
too far. The curves are very numerous, and some of
them quite sharp enough. The manner in which all the
parish and farm roads have been altered at the crossings
reflects little credit on the Directors."
The Bangor and Portdynllaen line is being marked
out, with a view to the commencement of operations.
A railway, on an inclined plane, has been constructed
from the five doors of the central masthouse at Ports-
mouth Dockyard, to run the mast trucks from the stores.
The railway has at length been laid over the bridge at
Carrow, and goods are now passed in trucks along the
line from the Thorpe station to Trowse, and thence to
their destination.
A vote of thanks has been passed by the directors of
the Shipwrecked Fisherman's Society to Mr. Hudson,
for his grant of a free passage in third class trains for all
shipwrecked seamen to the north.
The bridge across the Dee and great viaduct en-
tering Aberdeen are forthwith to be placed under
contract.
A few nights ago several lights were seen in a field
noted for its quantity of rabbits ; the farmer awoke his
assistants, and hied to the field, in the expectation of
finding poachers, but instead he found a body of sur-
veyors. He invited them to his home, and they " made a
night of it." A few days ago some surveyors applied to
Mr. Curling, the proprietor of a farm at Fulbrook, near
Quainton, for leave to make a survey. He at once re-
fused, at the same time informing them that if they per-
severed in their determination he should resist their in-
tentions to the utmost, and " have the law on them."
The surveyors urged the absolute necessity of their
making a survey, and the proximity of the 30th, but the
farmer turned a deaf ear, and they left, but at midnight
they returned and finished their thsk, and were miles
away before the farmer learned he had been so adroitly
outwitted.
CENTRAL STATION IN BIRMINGHAM.—The announce-
ment that the London and Birmingham Company have
abandoned their intention of erecting a central railway
station in this town, has created great disappointment ;
but we are glad to hear that other companies aro pre
paring to carry the project out, should the London and
Birmingham not at once state what their intentions on
this subject really are.
A branch line, of about three miles in lengtb, has
been surveyed from the main line of the Newcastle and
Berwick Railway to Warkworth harbour. It will open
an immense coal field belonging to his Grace the Duke
of Northumberland, Earl Grey, Mr. Cresswell, M.P.,
Mr. Smith, of Togston, and Major-General John Grey,
of Morwick. the produce of whose valuable coal mines
may be shipped at Warkworth by means of this branch.

sidered that included all. Another action was brought
against Holmes. Witness's action was settled by each party
paying half the costs.—Verdict for the defendant.

WOOLLEY AND ANOTHER V. SMITH.

The plaintiffs are the owners of a vessel called the Robert,
In June last the defendant chartered the vessel to go from
Liverpool to Ichaboe for guano. On arriving at that island,
however, after a delay of 96 days, without being able to ob-
tain a cargo, through the great number of vessels (400 sail)
waiting, they sailed for another island, but were equally un-
successful, and, therefore, went to St. John', New Bruns-
wick, where a partial freight was obtained ; the difference
was 470/. at 41. per ton, besides demurrage, at 51. per day,
and 1.41. for the passage of the supercargo.
Verdict for 1,643/. 3s 9d., after deducting freight from St.
John's, and plaintiff taking demurrage for twelve days only.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
William Wood, porter to the Horticultural Society,
was brought up fair further examination, charged with
having stolen from the person of Mr. Noah Peck, coal-
merchant, Lower Belgrave-street, 1201., in Bank of Eng-

land notes.
➢ir. Humphries attended for the prisoner, and in
the cross-examination on the evidence given at a pre-
vious inquiry, elicited the following additional part:-

culars :
The prosecutor was at the bar of the Royal Standard
public-house, about eight o'clock on the morning of the
21st of October. He had 120/. in his pocket, in bank-
notes, which ho had received on the 13th of October
from the Union Bank of London. He pulled out his
notes, in consequence of a bet which he made on a horse-
race. The prisoner Wood, and another man, who had
also been taken into custody, but who had been dis-
charged in consequence of insufficient evidence,
were near him, and they saw him produce his
money, and replace it in his pocket. Prosecutor
discovered his loss in the public-house, but could
find no clue to the thief. He advertised the notes
twice, once as having been lost, and once as having been
stolen. Had no knowledge of the numbers of the notes,
except from information obtained of the loTs from the
Union Bank. Had discovered that the prisoner had ob-
tained change for one of the lost 51. notes at the house
of a publican named French. Had communicated with
Wood, who promised to use his best endeavours to as-
certain the parties who had committed the robbery.
The prisoner obtained no information, and was even-
tually given into custody.
Mrs. French proved that she gave change to the
prisoner of a 5/. note. The prisoner wrote his name on

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. 26.
(Sittings after Term, before the LORD CHIEF BARON and a
Common Jury.)
OVERSTON V. WILSON.
This was an action of trover brought to recover a quantity
of furniture, to which the defendant had pleaded that he was
not guilty.
Mr. Granger appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. V. Lee for
the defendant.
The plaintiff was an upholsterer carrying on business in
Oxford-street, and the defendant a gentleman of propert3
residing in the country. Some few months ago the de-
fendant let one of his houses, or a part of it, to a person named
Mrs. Martin, but she subsequently failed to pay the rent,
and her goods were seized under a distress. The
plaintiff then made his appearance, and put in a
claim for part of the goods seized, alleging that he
had let them to a Miss Standish Gill, the niece of Mrs.
Martin, but the defendant, having some doubt of this, refused
to restore them, and hence the present action.
Evidence having been adduced in support of the plaintiff's
case, in the course of which it was elicited that the goods in
question were not sold, and that the plaintiff had given notice
to Richardson, the auctioneer, and who acted as the agent of
the defendant in the distress, not to deliver up the litigated
goods to any one without his authority.
Mr. LEE addressed the jury for the defendant, remarking
that the case involved a question of law and a question of
fact. The former, of course, his Lordship would have to de-
cide, but the latter rested entirely with the
jury. Well, then, the question of fact for
them to decide was, whether these goods were the property
of the plaintiff or not. He should call a witness to prove that
the plaintiff had declared that they were not his property,
and he was sure the jury would decide on this
point in his favour. The next point was a question
of law. It had been proved by the plaintiff's
own witness that he had given Richardson
notice not to part with the goods, and it would be for his
Lordship to decide whether the plaintiff could main-
tain this action, having by his own act debarred the
defendant from having power to restore the goods. The
Learned Counsel concluded by calling Mrs. Storey, and in
reply to a question as to where she resided, she asked,
Who's to pay me?
Mr. V. LEE—Oh, you'll be paid your expenses ma'am.
Witness—l don't know that.
The LORD CHIEF BARON—What are you, witness ?
Witness—l am a milliner and dressmaker, and support my
family with my labour.
The LORD CHIEF BARON—Yon ought certainly to be re-
munerated for your loss of time.
Mr. V. LEE—Will you take the word of the defendant's
attorney to see you paid ? "Witness—Who is the defendant's
attorney ?—(Lain•hter.)
Mr. V. LEE—lie is a respectable practitioner.
Witness—l don't know that; but, at all events, I won't
take his word.
The LORD CHIEF BARON—WiII you take the officer of the
Court's word to see you paid? Witness—Certainly, my
Lord.
The LORD CHIEF BARON suggested then that the defend-
ant's attorney had better deposit 2/.. and this having been
done, the witness allowed herself to be examined. She proved
that the plaintiff had declared to her that the goods in
question were the property of Mrs. Martin.
Mr. GRANGER having replied,
The LORD CHIEF BARON summed up with great minute-
ness, observing that the case involved no question of law. It
was simply a question of fact, and all the jury had to decide
was, whether the goods were the property of the plaintiff,
and had the defendant been guilty of a conversion of
them.
The jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict
that the goods were the plaintiff's, but they did not think
the defendant had any intention of converting them to his
own use.
The LORD CHIEF BARON—That, in fact, is a verdict for
the defendant.
Foreman of the jury—No, my Lord, we do not find a ver-
dict for the defendant or the plaintiff.
The LORD CHIEF BARON—What do you find, then? Do
you find that the plaintiff let the goods to Mr. Martin ?
Foreman—No ;we find that the goods were his, but that
he did not let them.
The LORD CHIEF BARON—I think, Gentlemen, you had
better retire, and reconsider your verdict.
Foreman—My Lord, we have considered it, and we find
that the goods were the plaintiff's, but the defendant, we
think, did not intend to use them. We do not wish to say
who shall have the verdict—the plaintiff or the defendant.
The LORD CHIEF BARON suggested that the parties had
better consent to withdraw a juror.
This suggestion was ultimately adopted, and the jury
discharged.

the note.
To a question put by Mr. Peck, the witness said that
the prisoner came back to her on the same afternoon on
which she had given change, and asked her if she had
parted with the note, and being told that she had parted
with it, he replied, " Oh, its of no consequence." The
note now produced had the corner torn off, and as the
prisoner put his name on the corner of the note
changed for him, witness could not swear that the
note now produced was the note received from the

prisoner.
Mrs. French stated that he paid two 5/. notes to a Mr.
Sneezum.
Mr. Sneezum said that he paid a bill with some 5/.
notes, but could not speak with certainty that the 51. note
❑ow produced was one of the notes he paid away.
A clerk in the house of Messrs. Smith, Payne, and
Co., proved that he received three 5/. notes from Mr.
Sneezum, in payment of a bill, and that the note now
produced was one of the 5/. notes tendered by Mr.
St.eezurn.
Mr. Humphries contended that the evidence against
the prisoner utterly failed.
A clerk in the Bank of England proved that the note
in question had been paid into the Bank of England,
from the house of Messrs. Smith and Co. The corner
of the note was torn off, as was usual at the Bank, but
the corner had not been preserved.
Mr. MALTBY said he was not aware, until just now,
that three 51. notes had been paid into Messrs. Smith's
bank by Mr. Sneezum. It was possible that the third
5/. note might be the very note sworn to by Mr. Peck,
and as the identity of the note with the note changed by
Mrs. French was thus lost, the charge against the pri
sower could not be sustained on the evidence before the
Court, and, therefore, the prisoner must be discharged.
CLERKEN WELL.

RAILWAY BUSINESS.—Mr. Joshua Archer, an engra
ver, residing in Southampton-terrace, Pentonville, ap
geared to answer the complaint of Mr. Stockley, another
engraver, of St. Martin's-lane and Great Russell street,
for not delivering up certain plates, upon which the plans
and sections of railways were engraved.
Mr. Ripon appeared for the complainant, and Mr.
Wakeling for Mr. Archer.
Mr. Ripon said his complaint was, that Mr. Archer
had not delivered up plates of the Cambridge and Lin-
coln Extension Railway and of the Doncaster Branch,
which had been given to him for engraving on last Mon-
day week. Mr. Stockley and Mr. Archer had done
business together for a considerable time, and it very
much surprised him that Mr. Archer had not acted with
the same punctuality on this as on former occasions.
The time for lodging the plans and sections in the Par-
liamentary-office would expire on the 29th instant, so
that the delay became tenfold more serious.
Mr. GREENWOOD asked why the plates were not deli-
vered up? Mr. Wakeling said the plates were then with-
in the precincts of the Conrt, and he would quickly ex-
plain why they had not been delivered. His client should
have been the complainant or prosecutor on the present
occasion, and in truth he would be so ; for en the pre-
vious day he had taken out a warrant for the apprehen-
sion of one of Mr. Archer's workmen, who had been
induced to leave his master's employment, and who was
ROW in the employment of Mr. Wilde, of Charing-cross.
the engraver. His client had been under the impression
that Mr. Stockley had, with another person named
Philips, been privy to inducing two of his (Mr. Archer's)
men to leave him, and the whole had much the
appearance of a conspiracy. Mr. Stockley was a good
deal employed by Mr. Wilde, and Mr. Archer assisted
him. Recently, however, Mr. Archer had got a great
deal of other railway business to do ; and although he
employed fifty men, the loss of two efficient hands, such
as Loosell and Weddell, who had been spirited away,
would be much felt, and cause much embarrassment,
particularly as the period by which all the railway plans
for the ensuing session must be deposited was so close at
hand.
Mr. Ripon said he could not account for the delay, but
it was supposed that Mr. Archer had been engaged for
some rival companies.
Mr. GREENWOOD said, he thought that if a Parlia-
mentary Committee were informed that either party had
withheld the plans and sections of the other, or were
privy to such a practice, it would take care that no ad-
vantage should be gained by such proceeding.
Mr. Wakeling said if that charge rested anywhere, it
was upon the other side. Mr. Archer would be seriously
injured by the withdrawal of these men. The Company
had lost nothing, for the plates were now in readiness,
but would not be delivered up unless the amount of Mr.
Archer's claim, 201., was liquidated.
Mr. Ripon was about entering into the case, and called
Mr. Stockley as a witness to prove the delivery of the
plates.
Mr. Wakeling objected. In the first place, the Magis-
trate had no jurisdiction where the amount was above
151.; and, secondly, Mr. Stockley could not by the Act
be allowed to prove his own case.
Mr. GREENWOOD dismissed the complaint.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 26.
,Sittings at Nisi Prius, after Term, before ➢ir. Justice ERLE
and a Middlesex Common Jury.)
WOODNUT V. 110 AD AND OTHERS.
-

The defendants in this case were members of a certain
benefit society, in connexion with which a baking society
had been established, to which latter a sum of 501. had
been lent by the plaintiff. It appears that the bakery was
established by the managing committee of the benefit
society as a safe investment fur their superfluous funds, the
original Society having been, up to the time of their engaging
in this unhappy speculation, a 'rery flourishing concern.
Being obliged to borrow a sum from Mr. Woodnut, in order
to enable them to carry on the bakery, the members
of the managing committee signed a contract, agreeing to
give to Mr. Woodnut all the proceeds of the business until
his debt should be paid. The names of these persons were all
put down, either by themselves or by their consent, being pre-
sent with one exception. One Kent, who was not a member of
the managing committee, but was a meFnber of the society, the
secretary of a branch society, and one of the persons engaged
in the baking concern, was thought so important a person,
that it was considered necessary to have his name
too, though he was absent, and had not authorised
the putting down of his name. A person nestled
Lighthouse took upon himself to settle this matter by
putting down Kent's name himself, and afterwards obtain-
ing his consent. It was for a portion of the 50/. lent on
this occasion that the present action was brought,
but, unfortunately, the action was against all the per-
sons whose names were attached to the contract, including
Kent. It was attempted to prove that Kent had afterwards
ratified the contract and accepted the debt, but the witness
who was to show this only said, "He did not know that Kent
made any objection " when he heard of it. It was also repre-
sented that as Kent was engaged in the bakery, paid certain
sums of money towards it, and was entitled to a certain
share of the profits (if any), he was a partner in the con-
cern, and liable for the debts of the society.
The defence was that Kent was not liable for the debt,
not having signed the paper, not having given his sanction
to the use of his name, and not 'being a partner in the
bakery ; and that Kent not being liable, the plaintiff could
not recover against the defendants, of whom he was one.
Mr. Justice ERLE, in summing up, observed that there
were two points for the jury to consider—first, whether Kent
sanctioned the putting of his name to the paper, and
so accepted the debt ; secondly, whether he was a
of the committee. He (d
partner in the concern, and liable for the debtsr. Justice Erle) thought there was
no evidence at all to show that he acknowledged the debt,
and if the object with which persons join such societies
be considered, it could hardly be held that a person being a
member of it was liable for the committee's debts.
This was a society in which persons give certain
sums towards a fund to assist them in distress, and not one
in joining which they intend to accept any liability. It was,
therefore, his, ( Mr. Justice Erle's) opinion, that the jury
must find a verdict for the defendants.
The jury having consulted for some time,
The foreman said, " We find for the plaintiff, with the
exception of Kent."—(A laugh.)
Mr. Justice ERLE explained that if the plaintiff had not
brought his action against Kent, the verdict would be for the
plaintiff; but if the jury thought Kent liable, they must, as
he had been included, find for the defendants, as otherwise,
the
Thplaintiff could re the whole debt from him.
e jury accordingly cover
found for the defendant.

containing a sovereign, and the other with stealing a letter,
the property of the Postmaster-General.
Several respectable persons gave him a high character
for previous good conduct.
The LEARNED JUDGE then, in an address replete with
feeling, pointed out the evils which resulted faom the want
of principle in those holding public situations, and expressed
himself determined to show by a severe example, that such
conduct should be adequately punished. The sentence of
the Court was, that the prisoner be transported beyond the
seas for the period of ten years.
The r emaining part of the day was principally occupied in
hearing a charge of a most disgusting character.
The prisoner was named Charles Carter, a hair-dresser, and
the offence having been clearly proved,
The Learned JUDGE ordered the wretch to be removed,
that due consideration might be given to the judgment to be
passed upon him. The offence is a capital one.
John Good, a Post-office letter-carrier, was indicted fbr
stealing a letter containing a half-sovereign and some shares
in the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth Railway Company,
which were laid, formally, to be the property of tier Majesty's
Postmaster-General.
Mr. Clarkson, with whom was Mr. Bodkin, conducted the
prosecution. Mr. Ballantine defended the prisoner.
The facts of this case lay in a very small compass. The
prisoner was a letter-carrier attached to the Charing-cross
branch of the General Post-office, and on the evening of the
17th November he was engaged in sorting the letters at the
desk, and while so engaged Abbott, another letter-carrier,
saw the prisoner take a letter and crumble it up in his right
hand, and then put it in his trowsers pocket. He shortly
afterwards left his desk, and upon information being given
by Abbott of what had occurred, the inspector of the letter-
carriers proceeded to the water-closet where the prisoner was
found with the letter in question, which turned out to be one
addressed by a stockbroker in the City, named Bohn, to the
secretary of the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth Rail-
way Company, 419, West Strand, and which con •
tamed a half-sovereign and the transfer of ten
shares in the above Company. The letter had not been
opened, but it was stated that West Strand was not within
the prisoner's delivery, and that he had no business what-
ever with the letter in question. When the prisoner was
taken into custody he declared that he had no intention to do
anything wrong with the letter, but that, finding it acci-
dentally among his own parcel of letters, he had picked it
out intending to put it in the proper delivery, and being sud-
denly required to go to the water-closet,he was follo
restoriwed and
taken into custody before he had the opportunity of and
the letter. When the prisoner was before the magistrate at
Bow- street, he made a statement to the effect, that lie had
picked up a piece of paper under his desk, and that was what
the witness Abbott saw him crumple up in his hand.
Mr. BALLANTINE made a very ingenious address to the
jury on behalf of the prisoner, and contended that the story
told by him was by no means an unreasonable or an impro •
bable one ; and that, at all events, there was so much doubt in
the matter as would justify
the jury in acquitting the pri-
soner, particularly when they considered the very serious
consequences that would result to him from a conviction.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE having summed up the evi-
dence, the jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict
of Not Guilty.
The prisoner was then arraigned upon a second indict-
ment, charging him with stealing another letter, containing
a sixpence and a fourpenny-piece, the property of the Post-
master-General.
In other counts, the prisoner was charged with embezzling,
secreting, and also with destroying the letter in question.
In this case it appeared that, on the 3d of November, the
' prisoner was engaged, as usual, in sorting his letters at the

SECONDARIES' COURT, Nov. 26.
(Before Mr. Secondary Porraa.)
JURYMEN FINED.—In consequence of the repeated non..
attendance of the jurymen in this Court, the Learned
Secondary, in accordance with notice given on last Court
day, tined the following gentlemen 5L each :—Mr. Thomas
Simcox Lea, Thomas Methold Waters, Chas. 11PKinuell, and
George Parbury.

DENNIS V. HOLMES.
This was an action brought to recover the sum of 71. for
board and lodging. It appeared that the defendant's brother
George had formerly lived with the plaintiff, and the de-
fendant and other brothers had frequently visited him.
According to the plaintiffs witnesses defendant was there
at one time ten weeks. For the defendant, however,
George Holmes was called, and deposed that he had lodged
with plaintiff altogether for four years—the visits of his
brothers and sisters to him were without any agreement
with the plaintiff. There was no additional bed or room.
There was no fixed price of 14s. a week, but the different
articles were sent for and booked to him. He was not in
such good circumstance 4 as to pay, but he paid 101. in
November, 101. in December, and 51. after his brother left.

NEW COURT.
(Before the COMMON SERGEANT.)
Isaac Jessop, 19, and Thomas Ticer, 19, described Its ser
vents, were indicted for stealing five bank notes, value 5/
each, six sovereigns, and 180 pieces of silver, the property
of Robert Boothby Heathcote, in his dwelling-house.
Mr. Charnock conducted the prosecution, and Messrs.
Ballantine and O'Brien defended the prisoners.
The Rev. Thomas Boothby Heathcote stated, that he is
rector of Chingford, in the county of Essex. On Saturday,
November 1, he had in his possession five 51. notes. Twc
of them were old and torn, and three of them were new. He
had received them about three days before from the bank-
ing-house of Messrs. Child and Co. There were alsc
six sovereigns and about three pounds iu fourpenny pieces.
The property was contained in a writing-case in his
study, the key of which was placed in a shaving case. On
the morning of the 3d of November he had occasion to go to
the writing case, and on unlocking it he found that it had
been opened, and the gold, notes, and silver had been re-
moved, but a good deal of valuable property left untouched.
The prisoner Jessop was in his service for about a year, but
was dischargod in August last, without a character. He
knew that witness kept the cash in the writing case, and he
also knew that the key was kept in the shaving case. On the
morning of Sunday, at a quarter to eleven o'clock, he saw
Jessop going towards his house. On speaking to him, when
he was taken on Tuesday, he admitted that he had been to
the house to speak to the kitchen-maid. Ticer had been to
see hint while he was in the service of witness. They
ap-
peared to be old companions.
The Rev. Gentleman was cross-examined at some length
by the defending counsel, but nothing material was elicited.
James Ellis stated that he is a farmer's labourer. Knows
the two prisoners, and has known them for some time. On
the evening of aturday, the Bth November, at about half-
past eight, he was in their company in a beershop at Wood-
ford. Witness called for a pint of beer, and paid for it.
The prisoners did not pay for anything, and did not allege
any reason for not doing so.
Jemima Iladley stated that she was in the service of the
Rev. B. Heatcote. On Sunday, the 2d of November, Jessop
came to the house. That was at half-past eleven. There
was no person in the house but witness and the
nursery-maid. He had formerly been a fellow-servant
of hers, and had paid her some attention. He
had been in the service about fifteen months. He
remained at the door about half an hour, and made an ap-
pointment to meet her at church that afternoon. She met
him according to the appointment and saw Ticer in his com-
pany. They walked a part of the way home with her, and
Jessop made an arrangement to meet her between seven and
eight that evening. She was punctual to the appointment,
but he did not come. He resides with his father and mother
at Chingford. Her master's study is in the middle of the
house, and can't be seen from the hall door. She did not
see Ticer with him on the Sunday morning.
By Mr. BALLANTINE—Has been sent away in consequence
of having been seen speaking to Jessop. She has always
known him as a respectable young man. During his fifteen
months of service he had ample opportunity of committing a
robbery if he felt so inclined.
11. Wright, a horsekeeper at Chingford, proved that he
knew both the prisoners. He saw them near the house of
the prosecutor on the morning of Sunday, the 2d of Novem-
ber. They were not walking together. He merely nodded
to them, and they bowed their heads in return.
Isabella llodley stated that she keeps a beer-shop at Wood-
ford. Both the prisoners were there on Sunday, and drank
together.
Frederick Robert Sawter stated that he resides with his
father, who is a hatter in Aldgate. On Monday, 3d of No-
vember, Jessop came into the shop. It was about eight
• o'clock in the morning. He had no hat, and said that
• he had lost it. He purchased one for 12s. 6d., and tendered
a 5/. note in payment. It was a ragged one ,and witness
refused to take it. He then tendered a new note, and wrote
his address on it as " Mr. Wm. Thomas, 19, Norton Folgate.
The note produced is the same. Witness put a small piece
_ of paper inside the lining as it was too large. Should know
that paper again as his father's writing is on it. Is certain
that the prisoner is the person who bought the hat.
I !James Brown, a shopman to Mr. Dumpley, a shoemaker,
in Aldgate, proved that on:Monday, 3d of November, two
young men came into the shop and purchased two pairs of
shoes. They also had some buttons sewed on their old boots.
They tendered a 5/. note and witness gave them the change.
The note produced is the same. The shoes produced are the
same also. Witness knows them by the private marks on
the toes. The old shoes produced are the ones on which the
buttons were sewed.
Joseph Goodman, shopman to Messrs. Moses and Son,
proved that on the morning of Monday, Nov. 3d, the two
prisoners came into the shop and purchased clothes to the
amount of 8/. They paid for them with a 5/. note and three
sovereigns. The coats and trowsers produced are the same
that he sold to them.
Mr. Frazier, a clerk and cashier in the banking-house of
Messrs. Childs and Co., proved that the prosecutor kept an
account there on the 29th of October. He drew acme money
by a cheque. The two notes produced were given to him fn
payment of that cheque.
Frances Jessop, the mother of Jessop, proved that he left
his father's house on Sunday, Nov. 2. He did not return
until two o'clock on Tuesday, when Ticer came with him.
They carried two parcels, but did not open them before her
Jessop got 10s. from his father on Saturday evening, for the
purpose of going to London to get employment. He had
been out of is situation for three months previous to the
robbery.
Wm. May, a police-constable, proved that he took the pri-
soners into custody on Tuesday, 4th of November, at Mr.
Jessop's house. They had the parcels produced in their-pos-
session, He told them why they were taken, and Ticer said,
" It is a bad job, our going away on Sunday night."
Other constables, who bad the prisoners in their custody
after the last witness, proved that they gave entirely false
accounts of their possession of the clothes, alleging that they
had purchased some of them at Gravesend, and the remainder
in the Borough.
This closed the case for the prosecution.
Messrs. Ballantine and O'Brien then addressed the jury on
behalf of the prisoners at some length, and called several wit-
nesses who gave Ticer an excellent character.
The COMMON SERGEANT summed up at some length.
The jury returned a verdict of Guilty against both
prisoners.
The Rev. Prosecutor then recommended the prisoners to
Mercy.
The COMMON SERGEANT sentenced Ticer to one year's im-
prisonment and hard labour, and Jessop to be transported
beyond the seas for the term of ten years.
