lessitribunes of the people may entail upon the United
States and the whole civilised world. On that point he
rises to a strain of eloquence which proves the sincerity
of his feeling, and which completely carried with him
the sympathies of the assembled multitude. " The
man who shall incautiously," exclaimed the orator, " or,
led on by false ambition, or party pride, kindle tl iose fires
of war over the globe on this question must look out for
it—must expect to be himself consumed in a burning
conflagration of general reproach. There will be a pub-
lic indignation before which no popularity, public or
private, can stand—it will melt down every monument
of the dead, it will destroy all respect for tho living, it
will burn up every vestige of respect for individual
worth, if unnecessarily, if recklessly, if an ibitiously
it has plunged the subjects and citizens of two civilised
Christian states of the world into war—a war which
shall cause the loss of millions of wealth—shall turn ci-
ties to smoke—shall cost thousands and hundreds of
thousands of lives ; and those smoking cities, and that
destruction of property, and that sacrifice of life, shall be
found over the whole globe, in every latitude and longi-
tude, surrounding the ball on which we live." In adverting
to the well-known remarks made by Sir ROBERT PEEL
in the House of Commons, announcing his determina-
tion to maintain, at all hazards, the rights of England,
he displayed the most friendly disposition and the
strictest impartiality. The words of the English Mi-
nister that offended the pride of Mr. Pouc so grievously
are praised by this clear-sighted statesman, and re-
garded only, as those which it became the representative
of a great nation to utter. These remarks, as well as
the conclusion to which he comes, we have great plea-
sure ia quoting :
" I read, with interest of course, the discussion upon this
subject in the House of Commons three months ago, result-
ing in an expression of opinion from the British Premier,
which received the sanction of that House; and I am willing
to avail myself of the language of that Minister upon this
subject, and apply it to one side of the question, as he did
to his. I have nothing to complain of as to the temper of
that language. lam free to say that it was a temper be-
coming a large-minded, liberal, and just statesman. But
what the British Minister said in the House of Commons—
in its sum and substance—v#3s, that England had sights in
regard to this question that mut be, and would be, respected.
I adopt the same language on our side, and say that we also
have rights that ought to be, and ninst be, and will be, re-
spected. Now, Ido not propose to expiNs to you au opinion
upon this subject. I have no better opinion than any one of
you as to the manner in which this adjustment ought to be
made, but I have full confidence, the utmost coltfidence, that
it can be made; that it can be made by wise and moderate
measures in a manner perfectly consistent with the honour
and with all the rights of all parties."
We may venture to affirm that the sentiments ex-
pressed in the last paragraph will be re-echoed by every
good citizen in both countries, and that in a very brief
period the extravagant pretensions of the TYLERS and
the POLES, and the men of the " far west," will be esti-
mated according to their real value. We need not refer
further to the speech on these topics. We have given
enough to show the spirit of justice and peace which
pervades it, and which we are confident will entitle it
to general attention. We must, however, give one ex-
tract more, because it relates to a subject of the highest
interest to the people of this country—the state of
slavery in the United States. Deeply does Mr. WEBSTER
deplore the annexation of Texas, and, with an ardour
which does him the highest honour, upbraids the Friends
of Pennsylvania for their mischievous apathy on that
deplorable event. His words produced the desired
effect, for the people of Boston seemed heartily ashamed
of their conduct :
" But 'you had the means of preventing the annexation
of Texas ; you knew your own power. By joining those,
as anxious as you are, or as you profess to be, to prevent it,
you could prevent it. If you did not join them, it would
take place. You did not join them, and it did take place.
Gentlemen, this is a subject on which I have deep feeling—
very deep feeling ; and I think it must stand on the pages of
history as the recorded judgment ofmankind that those among
us who asserted themselves to be in a peculiar and marked
degree friends.to universal liberty, have by their own delibe-
rate act fastened thechains of slavery on a great portion of the
black race over a vast extent of this continent. It is to me
the most mournful and most awful reflection. I know that
thousands of gentlemen who took such a course say that
they meant well. They meant well. I am not to scrutinise
their motives; they must answer for those elsewhere; but I
beseech them now not to fall into another such mistake. It
is thought (it is an idea I do not say how well founded),that
there may be yet a hope for resistance to the consummation
of the annexation of Texas. I can only say, for one, that if it
should fall to my lot to have a vote on such a question, and
I vote for the admission into this Union of any State with
a constitution which prohibits even the Legislature from ever
setting the bondsman free, I shall never show my head again,
depend upon it, in Farwell Hall."

quently warned the imprudent gamblers of the inevi-
table catastrophes which were preparing, and the present
state of affairs is calculated to inspire serious alarms.
Some respectable houses are said to be embarrassed, and
others to be ruined. To the difficulties of Paris are to be
added the failures in the principal towns of France.
Lyons, Marseilles, and Strasbourg are in a calamitous
position. Everywhere the fever of gambling has pene-
trated it has caused the same destruction. We dread
the moment of liquidation at the end of the month, and
the disasters already known cause much apprehension
for others."
The France draws the following picture of this alarm-
ing calamity:--" The Cabinet had relied on the move-
ment of the Bourse to arrest the political movement ;
but alas ! the Bourse itself becomes an embarrassment.
The mountains of paper which were negotiated with
considerable premiums are offered for nothing ; they are
disposed of by wholesale, and by weight, for a few cen-
times. It is no longer a panic, it is a complete rout.
This great prosperity in expectation, those great pro-
jects of fortune which turned every head, have vanished,
but not without inflicting deep wounds-. The credit is
strongly aft'ected, and there is no knowing how and when
it can recover. The immoderate speculation in rail-
road shares proceeded from the enormous profits
they presented. The moment there was no longer
any premium to be gained the capitals were with-
drawn, and the negotiation of the shares con-
sequently became more and more difficult. This
is a great evil, for the capital usually vested in industry
and commerce, and which had been momentarily dis-
placed to purchase shares, is now actually locked up and
unavailable. The results are a penury of money, an
almost impossibility to obtain discounts, and embarrass-
ments in trade and industry. Business is languid and
nearly at a stand at the commencement of a winter
which threatens to be rigorous and attended with a
famine." The Reforme states that eight bankruptcies
were declared at the Paris Tribunal of Commerce on
Monday, their engagements amounting to 2,000,000 f.
(80,0001.) The directors of some of the companies
formed for the Paris and Strasbourg line of railway,
have announced their intention of returning to their sub-
scribers the full amount of their subscriptions. The
Company d'Anthouard, which was the only one that did
not enter into the fusion, has also announced that it will
repay to its subscribers the whole of the amount of
their subscriptions on the 29th inst. and subsequent
days. Such conduct is highly honourable.
The thirty-sixth anniversary of the marriage of the
KING and QUEEN, which was solemnised at Naples on
the 25th November, 1809, was celebrated on Wednesday,
at St. Cloud, as a day of rejoicing to the Royal Family
and the household. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince
and Princess AUGUSTUS of Saxe Coburg arrived at St.
Cloud on Tuesday from England.

Mr. ACLAND, one of the Members for West Somerset-
shire, so druelly gibbeted the other day, has gone to a
meeting of his constituents in another part of the county,
to show cause why he should not have been " blown
up." " The blowing up," said the Hon. Member,
" which he had received elsewhere had induced him to
come there to see if his friends in this part had changed
their opinions of him." Mr. ACLAND appeals not from
Paul drunk to Paul sober, but from Paul •sober to Paul
drunk. The Yeovil and Wincanton Society judged him
dispassionately in his absence and condemned him. Mr.
ACLAND appeals to Dunster, flattered and intoxicated
with his. condescending presence, to reverse the judg-
ment. Mr. ACLAND, at Dunster, makes some re-
markable and valuable admissions. " This, be would
say, that no man had heard him at the election make
overpowering promises of bEing the farmer's friend.
He did not think it good policy, nor was it for the good
of the constituency or the country to do so. . .
He did not agree with the Anti-Corn-law League, for
the course which it had taken was an ex-
ceedingly improper one; but the tone taken by those who
pretended to be the farmer's friends had done more harm
to the farmers than anything else. He did not know if
all who then beard him were of that opinion, but look-
ing to wiser men than himself in the House of Commons
—men who did not distinguish themselves by going about
the country professing to be farmer's friends—sensible in-
telligent men—he felt that he had the support of their
judgment, which he valued a good deal more than the
opinions of those who spoke against him."
There, take that, Mr. MILES, and my Lord Duke of
RICHMOND. There is something much more effective
in Mr. AcLAND's great let down of the farmer's friends
than in Mr. ESCOTT'S strong thrusts. .

It will not be supposed that we sympathise at all in
the views of Mr. ACLAND'S decriers. For Mr. ACLAND
himself we think that his speech at Dunster does him
great credit : it is manly, sensible, and temperate;
and a quiet unaspiring member of the Con-
servative party is not necessarily responsible
for all the inconsistencies and deceptions of his leader.
Mr. ACLAND'S views have been in favour of protection ;
he says they are so stilt It was natural for him then,
in the general election of 1841, to place himself under
the PEEL banner, and oppose the then Whig policy.
He is not to blame that his leader has turned out
a rogue. His case is the more deserving of pity,
that his leader is such a successful rogue. When
PEEL gives up protection, there is en end of protec-
tion. The Bond-street re-union, the Duke of RICH-
MOND, MILES can do nothing ; it is well, indeed, if PEEL
does not lead all the farmers' friends captive, as he does
the Duke of RICHMOND, with places for the LENNOXE3.
Mr. ACLAND then says to himself, " What can 1 do ?'
What indeed ? We think the following remarks of Mr.
ACLAND very sensible and proper :
" If people had any notion that he was opposed to protec-
tion, it was entirely and completely a wrong notion. At the
same time he held himself free to act according to circum-
stances. He did not want to increase the alarm which pre-
vailed, and he had kept back from these meetings because a
great deal of alarm had been created by interested parties.
Ills great wish had been, so far as his small influence went,
to do nothing that might make the matter worse."
That is, Mr. ACLAND says about protection, as the
Times might have said about railway schemes, " We see
what is much to be deplored and disapproved of, but
where large interests will be affected by unneces-
sary increase of alarm, we will do nothing to make the
matter worse." But the Times has not acted in this way;
and we know the result, and can judge of the motive.
Mr. ACLAND, too, dooms the corn-laws, but it is
needless to give more extracts from his speech. Like
most of the reflecting and experienced men of his party,
he sees the game is up, and all they can do is to submit
patiently to their fate.

LONDON, SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 29, 1845.

It is a great relief, amidst the noise and bluster, the
Violent pretensions, and the vain threats of a certain
portion of the American people, to turn to such a speech
as that made by that able statesman and upright citizen,
DANin L\VEnsTna, at a great meeting held in Fanueil
Hall, in the city of Boston. It will be remein bered that,
in tho same hall, Lord ASHBURTON, after concluding
the Boundlry treaty with Mr. WEBSTER, was welcomed
with the most friendly and enthusiastic reception, and
returned the compliment by an able and conciliatory
appech, doing full justice to the old friends of American
liberty, praising, at the same time, the patriotic and
honourable conduct displayedbyhis opponent throughout
the whole of thedifficult negotiations, and inculcating, as
a minister of peace, friendship, and good-will between
the two most commercial States in the world. Mr. WEB-
STER has imitated the good example, and in a speech
or great length, though neither tedious nor one word
too lon;-, has taken a general view of the Oregon affair
and the paramount importance of settling that question
amicably and honourably for both nations. Like a man
of a ch ar head, of true patriotic feelings, and of that
skill and tact which experience in settling difficult points
lad enabled him to acquire, he sees no serious obstacles
to the attainment of the objects which the honeura ble
and good men of both countries have in view,
if we except, perhaps, the wild passions excited by the
outrageous pretensions of TYLER and POLK, and the
mad bravadoes of the men in the Western States, who
shout " war and annexation" with ceaseless fury, because
they are secure in their recesses from foreign attacks.
" There are man," said be, " who think that they can
talk of a war with England or any other nation, and
get credit for their patriotism and lofty love of country,
but keep the game in their own hands. That may not
happen." This allusion to the dangerous effect of the
policy pursued by the last and the present President,
though ho dces not mention their names, is marked by
41 strong sense of the awful calamities which such reck-

The absorbing topic of interest at Paris on Thursday
was the alarming state of the Stock and Share-market.
At the opening of the Bourse the greatest depression
prevailed, the panic was evidently on the increase, and
for the first hour everything indiscriminately went
down. The Three per Cents. fell to 81f. 40c.; shares in
the Northern to 6151., in the Orleans to 1,050 E, and
Rouen to 8551. The gamblers, who probably had con-
tributed to this universal panic, took advantage of the
occasion, rushed into the market as buyers, and the
prices by half-past two had risen in consequence enor-
mously. Orleans rose 70E, Rouen, 75f., Northern, 45f.,
Bordeaux 35f., Boulogne 25f., and Fampoux 20f. Oc-
casional depression took place during the brief period
up to the close of the market, when most of the lines
were considerably higher than on the preceding day. A
general belief prevails that Government will adopt some
legislative measures for counteracting the dangerous
effects of suck panics and placing a greater check on
gambling speculators. The National, that has uniformly
warned the public against the coming catastrophe, says,
" Our anticipations have been realised, and their effects
even exceed what wo previously announced. We fre-

A proof slip of the Bankers' Magazine for December fur-
nishes us with a calculation of the total issues of paper by
the banks of England and Wales. In the week to Nov. 8,
the 197 private banks had notes out to the amount of
4,638,4511., and:the 70 joint-stock banks of 3,226,5034, making
together 7,864,9541. for the week ; whereas, to Nov. 1, the
circulation was 3,011,424/. Still, on the month to the Bth
inst., there is an increase shown.
The private banks are below their fixed issue by 267,918/.,
and the joint-stock by 135,2851.
At the private meeting which was held yesterday of the
merchants, bankers, and oth( rs, at he London Tavern, pre-
liminary measures were taken to give a public and general
demonstwion in favour of a total and entire repeal
of the corn-laws. We have every reason to believe, from the
preparations in progress, that the "City of London" will
speak out upon this subject in terms not to be misunderstood.
The commercial accounts by the Caledonia from America
are not of any special interest.
The weekly return of the operations of the Bank of
England for the past week gives the following results upon a
comparison with the items of its predecessor:—
In the amount of notes issued there is an increase of
61,865/, or to 27,036,5501.
In the rest there is an increase of 7,4671., or to 3,252,2091.
In the public deposits there has been an addition of
838,334/., or to 7,353,168/.
In the other Deposits there is an increase of 125,0931., or to
9,024,223/.
In the Seven Day, and other Bills, there is a slight de-
crease.
In the Bullion there is a slight reduction of 10,585/, or to
13,559,501/.
Consols for the Account have been heavy again to-day.
The opening price was 954 for the Account, it is now 94%,

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.)

Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Lord Chief Justice TYNDAL
and a Middlesex Common Jury.)
WALTON V. TROWER AND ANOTHER.

This was an action against the assignees of a bankrupt, as
assignees of a house, and was brought to recover damages for
the injury done to that house by the removal of certain fix-
tures, and for the value of those fixtures. For the defence
it was represented that the defendants, though they were the
bankrupt's assignees, were not the assignees of the house ;
and, also, that the fixtures removed were set up by the
bankrupt for the purposes of trade, which he, or his assignees,
had therefore a right to remove.
On the part of the plaintiff several witnesses were called
to prove the following facts :—The house in question, which
is situated in King-street, Hammersmith, was let to the
bankrupt, a person named Johnson, at a rent of 100/. per
annum, on a lease for twenty-one years. On Johnson's failing
in business,' the landlord seized a portion of his goods for a
sum of money due for rent, the whole of which he re-
covered. It was after this that he became bankrupt. The
assignees knowing that part of the fixtures were erected
by Johnson, had a sale in the house, at which a folding-door,
a water-butt, a service-pipe, and some other articles, were dis-
posed of. The house was left in a very dilapidated state, the
holes which had been dug in order to take out the service-pipe
and other holes in the roof and walls had been left open.
All the fixtures except the service-pipe were admitted to be
fixtures erected by defendant for purposes of trade. The
damage done, and value of fixtures, were estimated by one of
plaintiff's witnesses at 16/. 155., of which one-half was for
the fixtures. Four months after the sale the key and lease
of the house were given up to the landlord.
Mr. Sergeant ByLEs addressed the jury at great length on
the part of th e defendants. The assignees, he said, were not ne-
cessarily assignees of the house, though they were of the
bankrupt, and they could not be made so unless they deli-
berately accepted the lease. Now the only evidence of their
accepting the lease was their taking possession on the
day of the sale. Even this, he contended, was not an ac-
ceptance of the:lease' as, in two cases to which he, Mr. Ser-
geant Byles, referred, it had been held that the entering
a house to sell the goods, and even the offering the lease for
sale, before giving it up to the landlord, was not an accept-
ance of the lease, and did not render the assignees assignees
of the house. He, Mr. Sergeant Byles, thereore submitted
that this action was wrongly brought against the present
defendants. Again it was admitted, that all the
fixtures sold were trade fixtures, erected by the
bankrupt himself, except one, which was of but
little value. Now, though fixtures, even if erected by the
tenant, are the property of the landlord, yet such is not the
case with trade fixtures, which, when erected by the tenant,
are his own. Now, as the value of the fixtures was one-half

the estimated damage, this reduced the injury to 8/. 7s. 6d ;
and It had been proved, on cross-examination, that the
bankrupt had improved the value of the premises to the
amount of 2501., by outhouses and other erections, so that he
had, even at his own calculation, gained 2401. by the bank-
rupt's improvements.
Mr. Sergeant Bmts here called several witnesses to show
that the plaintiff was aware from the beginning that the
defendants did not intend to accept the lease, and also to
show that all the fixtures sold were tenants' fixtures,
and that the amount of injury done to the pre-
mises was exaggerated. A letter was also put in
_ _

in evidence, in wlirch the plaintiff requested the assignees to
decide whether they would or would not accept the lease,
and if not, to send the key and lease back to him, which
was done.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE summed up, resting the case almost
entirely on the question whether the defendants had or had
not accepted the responsibility of assignees of the house.
The jury returned a verdict for the defendants.

EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings after Term, before Mr. Baron PLATT and a
Common Jury.)
GREERSON V. EDGLEY.

This was an action of assumpsit brought to recover 3401.,
the amount of the bill of exchange endorsed by the defendant
to the plaintiff, to which the defendant had pleaded 'non
assumpsit, traversing the allegation in the declaration of the
notice of dishonour.

Mr. Jarvis and Mr. Cowling appeared for the plaintiff, and
Mr. Lush for the defendant.

The defendant's handwriting to the bill was admitted by
a Judge's order, which was put in, and a witness
afterwards called to prove that he gave a notice of
the dishonour addressed to the defendant, at his pri-
vate residence at Coleshill, near Manchester, to be
put: into the Manchester post-office. The following
morning he met the defendant, who told him that he had not
received the notice which the boy had posted on the pre-
vious evening, but he had seen a similar notice which had
been addressed to another endorser, named Good.

Mr. Lusu contended that this was no evidence that any
notice of the diakonour had been sent to the defendant.

Mr. JARVIS urged that it was. The defendant might not
have received the written notice of dishonour, but a wit-
ness had proved that he did receive a parole notice.
Mr. LusH admitted that a parole notice had been given,
but it was given a day too late.
M r. Baron PLATT overruled the objection, reserving, how-
ever, to Mr. Lush the right of moving for'a new trial, and
the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff.

SMITH V. STAPLETON AND ANOTHER.

This was an action on the case brought to recover com-
pensation for injuries done to a valuable horse, to which the
defendants had pleaded that they were not guilty.
Mr. Jarvis, Mr. Sergeant Murphy, and Mr. Macmahon
appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Ilranwell for the defen-
dants.

Mr. JARVIS stated the case for the plaintiff. It was a
common running-down horse case, but he believed the jury
would find that it presented an uncommon and unusual fea-
ture, for he understood his Learned Friend was there to prove
not that the injury had not been done, but that there was no
such cart in existence at the time of the accident as the one
which the plaintiff alleged had caused the injury. The facts
of the case were simple enough, and might be stated in a
short compass. The plaintiff was a carman, and on Satur-
day evening, the 14th of June last, one of his carts, drawn
by a valuable home, -Ives returning up the New-road from
the City. When the cart reached Baker-street, the driver
observed another cart, with two men in it, coming in a con-
trary direction at a rapid rate, and lie called out for them to stop,
but they heeded not the caution, and the cart passed over the
hoof of Mr. Smith's horse. The parties in the cart, who were
dressed in the garb of dustmen, took no notice of the
circumstance, but continued trotting on until some
bystanders, who witnessed the occurrence, stopped them. It
was then ascertained that the cart was the property of the
defendants, who were the well-known dust contractors, and
that the number of the cart was 20. Application was, there-
fore, made to them to repair the injury their servants had
done, but their clerk denied that they had any such cart. It
was true, he said, that they once bad a number 20, but it
Lad long since been broken up. While this conversation was
going on the defendant's foreman made his appearance • and
on the clerk's relating the accident to him, he quietly ob-
served that " it was all gammon about number teventy having
been a doin' of it," for he could prove " that number teventy
warn't out on that ere day." These conflicting statements
strengthened the belief that the cart was the 'plaintiff's pro-
perty; but, to clear up all doubt upon this point, the plain-
tiff's attorney hit upon the plan of getting one of the parties
who witnessed the accident to watch the defendants' men as
they left their premises on a Saturday.night, to see if he
could recognise the two men who were in the cart in ques-
tion. After watching for a short time, one of the men
made his appearance; but he no sooner saw the
party who was watching than be took to his heels.
This clearing up all doubt upon the question, the plaintiff
brought the present action for the injury done to his horse,
and it was now for the defendants to show that their cart,
N 0.20, actually had been broken up, or returned to " dust"
previously to the 14th of June last. Perhaps his Learned
Friend, who appeared for them, would endeavour to throw
" dust" in the eyes of the jury by calling all the dustmen
in their employ to prove that they had no number 20 cart,
but he felt convinced after they had heard the evidence he
should bring before them the jury would say that it was one
of the defendants' carts that did the injury he complained of.
Evidence having been adduced in support of the statement,
Mr. BRANWELL disclaimed all intention of wishing to
throw dust in the eyes of the jury, or to call before them
the 140 dustmen in the employ of his client to prove that
they had no cart number, 20; but he should call witnesses
to prove that their cart number 20 was not out on the day
of the accident; and he should moreover prove, to clear his
client from all suspicion, that at the time the accident was
alleged to ;have taken place all their carts were in, and their
men bad been paid their wages and gone home.
Witnesses having been called to substantiate the Learned
Counsel's statement,
Mr. JARVIS replied, remarking that the defendants' case
had fallen to the ground, and it now only remained for them
to make his client some recompense by speedily coming down
with the dust.

The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff.—Damages,
201. 14s.

BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner GOULBURN. )
IN RE OLDHAM.

In this case to-day was appointed for a dividend. A proof
was tendered on the behalf of trustees under the marriage
settlement of the bankrupt, as for money had and received by
him to and for the' use of the claimants as trustees. The
proof was opposed on the ground that, under the deed of
settlement, the trustees had a power to exchange furniture to
the amount for that of equal value (300/.), but they had no
right to transfer stock generally. The Lord Chancellor had
referred a case to the judges, whether a debt arising on the
sale of stock by trustees was an admissible proof. Three of
the judges agreed, but the fourth dissented, and the Lord
Chancellor again referred the matter, when it was
decided that when stock or articles were specified to be sold
on a particular day, and the value could be then ascertained,
it was a provable debt ; but not so when the trustees were
exercising a power. In this case the trustees had concurred
in the sale, and handed the proeeeds to the bankrupt ; and
it was urged that the claimants had committed a breach of
trust on the part of the trustees, and that the assignees had
a right to stand, in right of the deceased's wife, and claim
the value of the trust from the trustees on behalf of the
bankrupt's estate.
After a long argument, it wa's determined that the case '
should be adjourned, in order that a special case might be
prepared for the common-law courts.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY

OLD COURT.

Henry James, 20 ; John Bushell, 23 ; Henry Smith, 17 ;
Frederick Morrison, 21 ; James Lackington, 18 ; and John
Brett, 20; all paupers, were charged with breaking and
entering int-) the house of Giles White, schoolmaster of St.
Pancras workhouse, and stealing therefrom three fourpenny
pieces and other moneys, the property of John Mylett ; also a
silver thimble, and other articles, belonging to John Hamil-
ton and others; and Brett was charged with aiding and
assisting the others to commit the felony.
Mr. Prendergast was retained to prosecute.
From the evidence it appeared that at the instigation of
Brett the prisoners broke a hole in the wall of the oakum
room, where they slept, and thence passed through a window
into he dining-hall, where a number of boxes belonging to
the charity boys were These boxes they broke open, and
took therefrom any little articles of value they could find.
They were afterwards seen dividing money by the other
paupers who slept in the ward.
The Learned jIJDGE summed up, and the jury found a ver-
dict fNot Guilty.
This case, unimportant in itself, and most uninteresting to
"the listeners, from the number of witnesses examined, and
the pertinacity with which they were cross-examined by the
counsel in turn, occupied the Court four hours.

CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.)
John Collins, ;was charged with a violent assault upon
Thomas Mason, a foreman bricklayer, in the employ of a
builder in Islington.
The assault occurred in Highbury-terrace, and the facts
will be seen from the Magistrate's statement.
Mr, GagExwooD observed that he regretted very much
that all the prisoner's fellow-workmen were not in court, be-
cause if the open administration of justice did good by ope-
rating as an example, it would be highly useful in this case.
This was the result of combination. Workmen might now
combine as much as they liked—the law allowed them to
combine—it used not to do so, but they might now sell their
labour as highly as they could—they might ob-
