CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
OLD COURT.
(Before the RECORDER.)"
CONSPIRACY.—The trial of Percival Hamilton
Chamberlayne, George Fuller, Jane Sophia Matilda
Fuller, and Win. Napier Reeve, which occupied the
whole of yesterday, was resumed to-day. The defen-
dants were charged with conspiring together to bring
a false charge of felony and misdemeanour against
the prosecutor, Thomas Alley Jones, who was last
session tried upon an indictment brought against him
by the defendants, charging him with felony, and
acquitted.
It appeared that the defendant Fuller earried on
the business of a shawl dealer and silk-mercer, in Re-
gent-street, in 1840, and in the beginning of 1841 he
became in embarrassed circumstances, and subse-
quently some negotiation took place between him and
the prosecutor, with a view to arrange his affairs.
Ultimately a fiat of bankruptcy- was issued, which
was, however, set aside, and the defendant Chamber-
layne, who was Fuller's father-in-law, then entered up
judgment, upon a warrant of, attorney, for 1,6001.,
credited by Fuller, and a sale of his effects took place
under that instrument. During this proceeding the
prosecutor
prosecutor acted as Fuller's legal adviser, and when
the sale
,took place it appeared that he purchased some
trifling articles at the suggestion of the defendant,
Chamberlayne, and also a mousseline de laine dress
for a young lady named Laurence. It seems that
subsequently a difference took place between all
the parties, and Mr. Jones brought an action
against Chamberlayne to recOer a sum of 6001., al-
leged to be due to hinrfor mcatey advanced, and for
his legal services. Shortly before this action was tried
a warrant was obtained to search the premises of Mr.
Jones, and also of Mr. Laurence, the father of the
lady above alluded to ;. and the defendants Chamber-
layne and Fuller, accompanied by a policeman, made
a search and took away some blacking-brushes, a po-
matum pot, and other little articles . which they ac-
cused Mr.-Jones of stealing, and he underwent an
examination upon that charge at the. Kensington
Police Court, and the result was that Mr. Jones was
held to bail, and was subsequently tried at this Court
and acquitted upon both the charges that were pre-
ferred against him. The defendant Reeve, who, it
appears, was a solicitor, and acted in that capacity for
the assignees under the fiat of bankruptcy, had at-
tended at the police-office in support of the charge,
and took other steps in connexion with it, and the
women had, it appeared, •given some testimony at the
police-office when the charge of felony was gone into.
.1 prosecutor now swore positively, that he had pur-
chased some of the articles alleged to have been stolen
'by him at the sale, and with regard to a pair of
snuffers and tray, which it was alleged he had stolen,
he • proved that he had given those articles to the pri-
sorier Chamberlayne.
The prosecutor underwent a severe cross-examina-
tion, but nothing material was elicited to shake his
testimony, and the evidence given by him was con-
firmed by Miss Laurence, the auctioneer who con-
ducted the sale, and other persons.
A great number of witnesses were called to prove
these facts ; and at the close of the case for the prose-
cution,
The RECORDER intimated his opinion that, however
rashly Mr. Reeve might have acted by lending him-
self to the suggestions of the other defendants, yet he
did not think that his conduct amounted to the offence
imputed to him by the present indictment, of having
knowingly made a false and unfounded charge of fe-
lony against the. prosecutor.
Mr. BODKIN, on behalf of the prosecution, said he
concurred in the view of the case taken by the Court,
and consented that Mr. Reeve should be acquitted.
Mr. PHILLIPS addressed the Jury in a powerful
speech, commenting severely upon the conduct of the
prosecutor, who, he submitted t° the Jury, was un-
worthy of credit.
'['he defendant (Fuller) read a long address, in
which he declared that the prosecutor had been the
cause of the ruin of himself and his family.
Witnesses were called who gave the defendants a
good character.
Mr. BODKIN replied.
The RECORDER then summed up, and in the course
of his address he expressed his opinion that if the case
rested solely upon the evidence of the prosecutor, they
would not be bound to return a verdict of guilty, and
he'said that he thought the conduct of the prosecutor
in interfering with the property of the defendant
Fuller, when he was in a state of embarrassment, and
.
in taking any portion of his property, even by pur-
chase, was most improper.
The Jury, after a short deliberation, returned a
verdict of CluiltY against Fuller and Chamberlayne.
The trial was not concluded until a quarter pas'
eleven o'clock.

VALUABLE INVESTMENT.

TO BE SOLD BY AUCTION, on MONDAY,
the 27th September instant. at Radley's Coffee-room,
in the Commercial Buildings, Dublin, at the hour of One,
The Estate of LITTLE LISSEN HALL, in perpetuity,
with all its rights, royalties, and privileges, comprising about
340 statute acres, subject to the small yearly head-rent of
1451.25, hi, being about Bs. 7d. per acre, payable to the
Rev. Sir Samuel Synge Hutchinson, Bart.
The above truly valuable property is situated adjoining the
post town of Swords, distant from Dublin about seven miles,
and bounded on the east by the Great Northern Mail Coach
Road, within a short distance of the sea, the Drogheda Rail-
road, and Malahide, the fashionable watering-place, remark-
able for the peace and respectability of the neighbourhood.
The quality of these rich demesne lands needs no comment,
being in the highest state of cultivation, and chiefly under grass,
well watered and divided, with abundance of building mate-
rials, and are in the immediate possession of the vendor.
There are several thousand full grown Timber Trees, beau-
tifully laid out, on the property, and a considerable sum has
been lately expended on the improvements and comfort of the
house and out-offices, which are oxtensive, and in every re-
spect fit for the immediate reception of a respectable family.
Any nobleman or gentleman wishing fora residence in a peace-
able and highly-respectable neighbourhood will rarely meet
with such an opportunity for the investment of capital.

Can insurers get superior, equal, or less actual be-
nefit, in a Bonus Society, than from establishments
on other principles ?
Adduce the man who, in 1817, insured at 30, for
1001. in the Equitable (here only specifically named
as the leading type of the Bonus class)-the annual
premium then and now 21. 13s. 6d. In 1840, what
were his prospects ? He had paid twenty-four times
2/. 13s. 6d., i. e. 641. 45., improved at four per cent. in-
terest to 104/. 10s. 11d., the amount virtually outlaid:
and has still to pay yearly 21. 13s. 6d. Thus the So-
ciety have 104/. 10s. 11d. in hand, and further derive
from him 61. 17s. 2d. annually (i. e. the '2l. 13s. 6d.
and 4/. 3s. sa. interest on sum saved). For these he
is promised 1001. at death, and 221. 10s. Bonus, made
up of two and a half per cent. per annum, from 1831,
(the earliest time at which Insurers after 1816 became
entitled to any Bonus), to 1840, together with
122/. 10s. with a prospective two and a half per cent.
if he die before 1850. Modern rates, if taken in
1817 (as by the ASYLUM Company since 1824), with-
out Bonus, would be, premium 2/. 25., sum paid
501. Bs., improved to 821. ls. 6d., yielding interest
31. ss. Bd., and the 2/. 25., together with 51.75. Bd., for '
1001. at death.-Now to contrast :

Other ages would give similar results, and of
course with extended effect on larger sums. A Policy
before 1817 would be at a period when fluctuation in
the value of money afforded means of investment
which it would be sheer speculation to expect to recur,
and a more recent Insurance might have no Bonus.
It is notorious that the Equitable has afforded the
greatest actual and comparative Bonuses of which the
system is capable.
It may seem unanswerable, that if Proprietary Com-
panies make a profit, Mutual Assurers without Pro-
prietary must have such profit returned to themselves.
This can never he the case--every sound Society will
have a collected fund, to counteract specific contin-
gencies in deaths. Proprietors furnish this by forming
a capital, and the premiums necessary for deaths and
expenses are increased to yield interest to Proprietors for
the use of such capital. But in a Mutual Society, no ca-
pital being present, higher premiums must be charged to
provide a " Reserve Fund," and of course this can
only be founded on such part of the high premium as
deaths and expenses do not consume, consequently
the Assured can never have all the savings returned,
because a portion must be held back to sustain the
reserved fund, and this portion, as above shown, ex-
ceeds in practice what a just Proprietary need re-
quire as profit on subscribed capital. In brief, the
Assured pay to a sound Proprietary excess to yield
mere interest: in Mutual Associations a capital itself
has to be created and sustained from time to time by
excess of premium. It is clear, therefore, that more
must be retained from the Assured to form and sus-
tain a reserved fund, than Proprietors need exact as
interest for a capital already furnished.
The above, more in detail, may be had at the
Asylum-office, on inquiring for Paper on " Bonus
Systems."

The most rational motives to Lye Assurance are found in
the plan adopted by this Society ; viz. joined to a secure
Provision at death for inheritors of the Assured, the Society
affords succour to the Assured himself (proportioned to pre.
vious payments) in the event of unforeseen reverses.

and charged with having sent for the cheque-
.baok for the purpose of availing himself of the advan-
tage which blank cheques had so often presented to
t dishonest men. The wretched man, who upon the
preceding night gave himself a severe wound in the
throat in attempting to destroy himself, fell in a fit
upon being charged, and was conveyed to the in-
firmary in the Giltspur-street Compter, and the neces-
; nary directions were issued by the Lord Mayor, at
; the request of Mr. Freshfield, as ,to' the future pro-
ceedings.
Yesterday, when Liscomb, the ticket-porter, ap-
peared, the Lord Mayor read to him a written state-
ment, which had been made l2y Mr. Palmer. It was
to the following effect :—On the 16th instant, Lis-
comb brought a note to Mr. Palmer, requesting that
a cheque-hook might be sent by the hearer to Messrs.
Deane and Hatton, in Leadenhall- market. The
document was no sooner produced than its genuine-
ness was doubted, upon comparing the writing
in the note with that in the book, and the suspicion
was confirmed by the substitution " 31" in the place
of " 21," the number of the house of the firm. Mr.
Palmer subsequently asked Liscomb of whom he had
had the note, to which question the reply was that
he had received it from Mr. Deane. Mr. Palmer
then handed him a book, and desired him to write
down his name, and lie became agitated, and said he
did not know whether it was Mr. Deane or Mr. Hat-
ton that gave-him the note. Finding that the matter
would be followed up, he then confessed that neither
Mr. Deane nor 1\ fr. Hatton had employed him upon
the occasion,. and he pointed out. Hoz.kins, the porter
to the Drawing-office in the
,Bank, as the individual
who had sent him on the errand.
The Loup MAYOR said the transaction required
much deeper investigation, and desired to hear what
Liscomb had to say.
Liscomb declared in the most solemn manner he
was not aware that he had been employed in a suspi-
cious affair, and appealed to the unexceptionable cha-
racter which he had maintained for a great number of
years in the City of London, as proof that he could
have no dishonest purpose.
The LORD MAYOR—Where are you in the habit of
standing to be hired as a ticket porter ? Liscomb—
In Gracechurch-street.
The LORD MAYOR—Why should .Hoskins go all
the way to Gracechurch-street to hire a ticket porter
to go to the Bank with such an order ? Liscomb—l
don't know. I thought there could be no harm in
going, as. I knew him. He pointed out the place to
which I was to go, and he told me he would wait for
me. I declare to God I never thought there was any
thing wrong in the business, and the moment I sus-
pected at the Bank that there was, I told the gentle-
man that I'd show him the man who employed me.
His Lordship then sent for Mr. Teague the Solici-
tar's Clerk to the Ticket Porter's Fellowship, and re-
presented the circumstances to him:
Mr. Teague said, he had been informed of the part
which Liscomb had acted in the matter, and it cer-
tainly struck him that the prisoner was implicated
with Hooking.
Mr. nobler observed, that the ticket porters were
frequently entrusted with very large sums of money,
and the Society wished, as a matter of course, to enter
into an investigation under their Chairman, Sir Mat-
time Wood, for it was necessary that a ticket porter
should be above all suspicion.
Liscomb—The fact is that I am here because I
told a lie. It was a lie without meaning, but I had
no right to tell it. I can bring forward several per-
sons of the first respectability, to speak of the excel-
lence of my character. I never had a stain upon my

SIR WALTER SCOTT AND A SCOTCH BLACKSMITH.
—lt happened, at a small country town, that Scott sud-
denly required medical advice for one of his servants,
and, on inquiring if there was any doctor at the place, he
was told there were two, one long established and the
other a new comer. The latter gentleman, being
luckily found at home, soon made his appearance—a
grave, sagacious looking personage, attired in black,
with a shovel hat, in whom, to his utter astonishment,
Sir Walter recognised a Scotch blacksmith, who had
formerly practised, with tolerable success, as a veterinary
a
operator in the neighbourhood of Ashestiel. "how, in
;the world 1" exclaimed he, " can it be possible
that this is John Lundie ?" "In troth, is't, your
honour ; just a' that's of him." " Well, but let us hear;
you wero a horse-doctor before ; now, it seems, you are
a man doctor ; how do you get rn ?" " Ou, just ex-
traordinar wee'; for your honour maun ken my practice
is very sure and orthodox. I depend entirely upon twa
simples." " And what may their names be ? Perhaps
it is a secret." " I'll tell your honour," in a low tone ;
"my twa simples are lust laudarny and calamy."
" Simples with a vengeance !" replied Scott. " But,
John, do you never happen to kill any of your
patients ?" " Kill ? Oh ay, may be sae ! Whiles
they die, and whiles no ; but it's the will of Providence.
Ony hew, your honour, it wad be long before it makes
up for Fledden !"—Reminiscences of Sir Walter Scott.

to expect that the; will be of great benefit to our shrub-

Toe men of Merthyr never followed their avoca-

all probability, produce beneficial effects. —Monmouth-

and the deceased received- such violence as to cause
her to bleed dreadfully at the time, and afterwards to
apply at the station-house for redress. The husband
(the prisoner) was apprehended and brought to the
station-house ; the deceased was following, when she

ceived from the prisoner. When before e Magis-
trate last Thursday, the prisoner saidAlfak he and his
wife had been drinking for many hours together ; that
at tea his wife suddenly got up, seized a knife, and
attempted to stab the prisoner, when he knocked her
down ; and that was the only violence he was guilty
of. A coroner's jury afterwards returned an open
verdict

Yesterday, Mr. James, the house-surgeon of West-
minster Hospital, after giving his evidence, said, that
if ho was to give an opinion as to the cause of death
he should be more inclined to state that the deceased's
death was attributable more to intoxication and ulti-
mate excitement than violence. The appearances at
the post mortem examination justified such an opinion.
Mr. BURRELL, after examining several witnesses,
decided that there was ne hope of even a charge of
manslaughter holding good against the prisoner, and
discharged him. _ _ _

The LORD MAYOR—You must leave your ticket
with me, and you are bound over in the sum of 1001.
to appear here on Saturday next, when Hoskins is to
be brought up for re-examination.
A man of the name of Edward Smith, was brought
before the Lord Mayor, charged with having been
concerned with Shacklesford, who had been commit-
ted for trial, and others, in defrauding several trades-
men of goods, to a large amount.
Mr. Goddard, solicitor to the prosecutor of
Shacklesford, attended against the prisoner, who ap-
peared undefended.
Mr. Goddard said, that from the evidence against
Shacklesford, it appeared that Beaumont, who was re-
presented as the principal of a trading concern at Maid-
stone, and other persons, were in the habit of meeting
at the tap of the Bull and Mouth Inn, Aldersgate-
street, and dividing money amongst them, the pro-
duce, it was believed, of the sale of the property
gained by the transactions detailed in the examina-
tions at the Mansion House. Amongst the individuals
who assembled upon these occasions was the prisoner
Edward Smith.
The prisoner—Not I ; I never was amongst
them ; I never had any transactions with them.
William Kimbrell stated that he had been pot-boy
at the Bull and Mouth tap up to July last. He knew
the prisoner well, having seen him frequently in the
tap with Beaumont, Shacklesford, and three or four
other men. He had seen the prisoners and the
others open parcels which were brought in, and which
contained goods, such as silk handkerchiefs, scarfs,
and drapery goods. The prisoner, who seemed as if
he came to buy goods, divided money amongst them
all out of a bag.
Mr. Goddard—Did you know who they were at
the time ? Witness—No. I had no idea they were
swindlers.—(A laugh.)
Mr. Goddard—And you are sure the prisoner was
one of the gentlemen ? Witness—Certainly. I've
seen him take away parcels, and I've taken away one
parcel for him myself.
Mr. Goddard -Is this one of the parties your mis-
tress disapproved of? Witness—Certainly he is.
Prisoner—l had nothing whatever to do with
Shacklesford and his party.
The LORD MAYOR called to Gooch, the principal
gaoler of the Compter, and asked him whether he
knew the prisoner. Gooch—l know him well, my Lord.
The LORD MAYOR—Has he been imprisoned in
the Conipter. Gooch—Yes, mylord ;-be served out
a twelvemonth there some years ago.
The prisoner—l solemnly assure your Lordship
that I never had any dealings with Shacklesford,
Beaumont, or Charles Edward Smith. I admit that I
have been at the Bull and Mouth transacting busi-
ness. I have met travellers there, and purchased
goods of them, and I defy any one to say .I know
anything of the parties spoken of.
The LORD MAYOR—YOU have heard what the
pot-boy • says? The prisoner—Yes, my Lord, my
transactions were quite distinct from those of the per-
sons he describes. I can bring forward a party to
prove the truth of what I say.
The LoaD MAYOR—I shall require you to find
bail. You must produce two sureties of .50/. each,
and be bound yourself in the sum of 1001., to appear
at the Sessions and
twenty-four hours' notice of bail. , Mr. Goddard

The prisoner—l can't procure bail. Ido business
in the City, and have all my invoices at home,
The LORD MAYOR—YOU had better not go into
particulars. It will do you no good.
The prisoner was then committed.

FAIR OF CASTLEBAR.—Th2 fair of this town, held
vusterday, proved remarkably bad. The prices of
sto tk of every description, were considerably lower than
was anticipated, and but few sales were effected even at
these re laced prices. Pigs, the price of which had been
rising in th's market on the previous Saturday, fell con-
siderably yesterday, and disappointed the hopes of the
poor, Who had began vainly to rely on them as a means

pawnbroker, St. Alban's-place, produced twelVe
dessert forks, and eight tea-spoons, pledged with him
on the 15th inst. for 3/. 103. Prisoner told him he
was going some distance into the country; and wanted
Si. for them. Asked him if the plate was his own,
and "all right ;" he said, it was. • -
Mr. RewurlsoN—Did you not observe the initials
upon the plate ? Witness—Yes ; I saw that they did
not agree with the name given me, but I thought no-
thing of it.
Mr. RAWLINSON—I have nothing more to say ; the
Judge at the Old Bailey will possibly have something
to say to you.
Mr. Chilcott, a pawnbroker, was also examined ;
suspecting all was not right when the prisoner came
to pledge some plate, he gave him into custody.
The stolen plate (the whole of which has been re-
covered) was here produced and identified by the pro-
secutor, as was also a great-coat belonging to a gen-
tleman, living at present with him, and which was also
stolen at th same time.
The prisoner, who admitted his guilt, was committed
to Newgate for trial.
