.ttorney-General detailed the fac

as they appear in

Mr. George Herring proved that he subscribed a charter-
party, to the effect that Messrs. Zuluetta and Co. chartered
the Dryad on a voyage to Santa Cruz, for the sum of £3OO.
Mr. Alexander. Howden proved that he and a gentleman
named Alncaly were proprietors of one-fourth share of the
Dryad, and that Michael Wallace was the owner of the re-
maining three-fourths. He gave Michael Wallace a verbal
order to insure the vessel for £2,200, which was the worth of
the vessel. In the early part of January a total loss was
claimed and paid by the insurance company, and witness paid
Michael Wallace three-fourths of the amount that was so
paid. _ _ _

Mr. John Pickle), proved that he effected an insurance for
Messrs. Zuluetta upon their goods, to the amount of £3,000.
Mr. James Stott deposed that he was formerly a ship-
broker. He had formerly been in the service of Messrs.
Seldon and Johnson, and left their service in 1837, and soon
afterwards set up business on his own account, in Seething-
lane. He first became acquainted with the prisoner while he
was in the service of Messrs. Seldon. The prisoner was a
dealer in ale and porter, and also an exporter of bristles and
isinglass ; and he carried on his business at Cooper'

Crotched-friars. He afterwards removed to Windsor-
Mile-end-road. The prisoner employed him in his

business to effect entries, and he also gave him at order to
effect an insurance in the month of August, 1839. He gave
him orders, to " do" £1,264 insurance on goods by the
Dryad, with the Maritime Insurance Company ; and he
gave him a paper, containing a specification of the goods, and
witness took a copy of it. (The description of the goods
was here read.) Witness handed a list of the goods to
the insurance company, and an insnrance was effected for
£1,265, and he handed it over to the prisoner, who, in the
month of January, 1840, instructed him to apply for a loss
upon the policy, and he at the same time handed him a bill
of lading. Witness applied to the office, and, in the first in-
stance, received an instalment of 80 per cent. by a check for
£1,012, which he handed over to the prisoner. A total loss
was claimed, but the company at first declinad to pay more
than 80 per cent. He was repeatedly pressed by the prisoner
to apply for the remaining 20 per cent., and, after some time,
it was paid, upon the prisoner entering into an agreement to
pay the value of any goods that might have been saved from
the wrecked vessel to the company. Witness received a
check for £253, which he got changed, and after deducting

)f his commission and some other accounts due
to him, he handed over the remainder to the prisoner.

his brother wished to haie £715
insured upon•his goods by the Dryad, in the Alliance Com-
pany. He, at the same time, gave him a specification and
valuation of the goods that were so insured, and witness ef-
fected a policy to the proposed amount, and he subsequently
claimed a total loss, and the amount was paid. Both the
bills of lading referring to these transactions were in the pri-
soner's handwriting. The prisoner wrote a letter of indemnity
to the company, in the event of any of the property being
saved. Witness handed over the amount of the policy to
the prisoner. The prisoner's bankers were the London and
Westminster Banking Company. Upon a subsequent oc-
casion witness asked the prisoner whether he had received
any further information respecting the wreck, and he said
his brother bad received a letter, and witness said that was
all right, and asked him to let him take it to the Maritime
Assurance Company. The prisoner replied, "He wished

e prisoner

got the protest and the policy, and that was all
they were entitled to, and if they did not pay before the
twelvemonth was up he would make them. Witness ad-
vised him to settle the matter amicably, and he then said
that some pans had been saved, but no pork or beef, and when
he said this he laughed, and added that Loose had done the job
very well. Witness asked him what job, and he laughed
again, and said he (witness) was not half awake. Witness
subsequently, at the request of the prisoner, addressed a let-
ter to the consul at Cuba, requesting him to obtain informa-
tion for the owners as to what goods were saved from the
wreck, as the insurance companies refused to pay a total loss.
The prisoner directed him to state at the bottom of the letter
that the communication must be considered as a confidential
one, and he explained that the ship had been chartered by
Messrs. Zuluetta and Co., and as the merchants did not fill
the ship they had occupied the room themselves, and they
did not wish them to know that they had shipped goods, or
else they would charge freight ; and,he also said that he did not
wish Capt. Loose to know he was making inquiries. About
this time the prisoner told him that Capt. Loose was coming
to England with the papers, and shortly afterwards he said
that neither Loose nor papers ever would arrive in England.
Witness asked him his reason, and he said that Loose was a
big rogue, and he had no doubt he picked up all he could
from the wreck, and had gone to the United States. He
made this observation jokingly. Some time after this, the
prisoner told him that he believed Capt. Loose was dead,
and that he had died on board the Premier coming home.
Witness asked if he had got the_ papers, and the prisoner

they had

Id him ehecaptain's trunks had been oPened, and that no

papers were to be found. He made some further inquiries
of the prisoner subsequently, and he then told him that
Loose was alive in London, and witness remarked that he
had better go to the insurance office ; and he replied that he
wished they might get Loose there, for he knew he would
not go. Three or four .days after the prisoner told him
that Loose was not in London, and he wished he was, for
he would give him a ship directly, and he added that he
was a very clever fellow, and deserved all he got, and had
done the Dryad job very clean. Witness remarked, if he
had done so, he must have been well paid, and the prisoner
replied, laughingly, " Oh, a thousand or two." On the
27th November in last year, he saw the prisoner at the
Mansion House, and sked him the meaning of it, and he
said it was the Dryal job, and witness told him that he
foiind his suspicions were correct. The prisoner then told
witness that he need not fear, for he was only the agent, but
he was afraid he should himself be transported. Witness
asked him whi he should be afraid of that, and he said be-
cause some of the goods that were specified were not on
board, and there were papers in his house that would prove
his guilt. Witness was taken into custody upon this charge,
and was examined at the Mansion House. Witness after-

wards heard the prisoner say to the officer that he should
look after his brother, for he was the rogue, and that all he
had done was for his benefit. In witness's opinion the pri-
soner would never have done what he had but for his brother.

The secretary of the Neptune Assurance produced three
policies effected upon the ship for £7OO, £7OO, and £687,
all of which sums were paid.
Another insurance for £6OO was effected with the Indem-
nity Mutual Assurance.

Mr. Lodge, secretary to the Marine Assurance, effected
an insurance for £2,000 upon the ship, which was paid.
Mr. C. L. Bahr deposed that their firm paid £5OO upon
a policy effected by Michael Wallace on the Dryad.
A clerk in the employ of Messrs. Zuluetta proved that no
goods were put on board the Dryad but what belonged to
Messrs. Zuluetta.

The documents from the Custom-house were read. No
other goods but those referred to in these entries were put
on board, or at least ought to have been on board the vessel.
There was no access from the river to the docks, except at
high water, when the gates of the docks were opened, and
these gates were always watched by the dock officers.

Mr. John Tait deposed that in the month of September
he was master of a vessel called the Bencoolen, and was on
a voyage from La Guayra to the Havannah. In the month
of October his vessel was off the harbour of Cape Hayti, and
three pilots came on board his vessel. There is a reef of
rocks in that neighbourhood, from which he was distant
about three miles when the pilots boarded him. He ob•
served the Dryad at some distance from him going right stem
on to the reefs. These reefs are laid down upon thd charts
and are well known to the mariners. There is a bank in the
same neighbourhood called the Silver Bank, and the reef
is called the Silver Keys, and it forms the outside part of
the harbour of. Hayti, and extends about 15 miles to the
eastward. He watched the Dryad to see if she would alter
her course, but she did not, and the pilot made a remark in
consequence. Finding the brig did not alter her course, he
fired a signal gun, but no attention was paid to it, and she
proceeded in the direction of the reef, and witness ordered
the pilot to go immediately on board of the vessel and warn
the master of his danger, and' the pilot did so and boarded
her, and it was not until he had done so that the course of
the vessel was altered. There was a very light sea breeze at
the time, and the Dryad, could easily have avoided the reef.
After the pilot got on board, the direction of the vessel was
altered, and she was taken into the harbour. Other wit-
nesses were called, and the case was adjourned.

The case was proceeded with on the following day, and
after the examination of several witnesses. the jury returned
a verdict of guilty, but sentence was deferred.
The trial of Michael Shaw Stewart Wallace was then
taken, and after similar evidence had been produced, a like
verdict of guilty was pronounced. His lordship then sen-
tenced both the prisoners to transportation for the term of
their natural lives.

DEATH OF ALADY' BY POISON TAKEN
MEDICINALLY.

Thursday afternoon a very lengthened investigation took
place before Mr. Wakley, M.P., and a jury, at the Old
Parr's Head, Upper-street, Islington, touching the death of
Miss Mary Joyce Sherer, aged 60, a maiden lady, of inde-
pendent fortune.

Mrs. Sarah Parsons, dressmaker, of No. 12, Cross-street,
Islington, deposed that the deceased lady occupied apart-
ments in her house. Deceased was greatly afflicted with
asthma. On Friday night last deceased, who had not been
able to obtain any sleep for nine or ten previous days and
nights, asked witness what she should do, and witness ad-
vised her to take a composing draught, to which she con-
sented, desiring her to procure it. She accordingly pro-
ceeded to the shop of Mr. Hallows, chemist, in the High-
street, to whom she stated what she wanted, and the age of
the lady whom it was for. Mr. Hallows then gave some di-
rections to his assistant, who, having put the draught into a
phial, witness requested to know of what it consisted, as,
without, the lady, who was very particular, would. perhaps
object to take it. Mr. Hallows replied, that the lady need
not be at all alarmed, as it was only a slight dose of opium,
and a little syrup of camphor, and he had given a similar dose
repeatedly to an aged grandmother. Witness then returned
home, and told deceased of what the dose consisted, and of
whom she had purchased it, when deceased said she was very
glad witness had gone to Mr. Hallows, as she considered him
1 the most respectable chemist in Islington. Deceased then
drank the draught ; having' done which, she said, " it had
warmed her inside, and made her feel comfortable." Wit-
ness shortly after left her, no one remaining with her, as she
would not allow it. At a little after eight o'clock the follow •
ing morning witness went into deceased's bed-room to in-
quire how she was, and found her in a state of insensibility
and black in the face, and moaning. She immediately sent
for Mr. Clifton, a surgeon, who promptly attended ; but de-
ceased never recovered her senses, and died at 10 o'clock the
same morning. Deceased, to witness's' knowledge, never
had a fit, neither was she in the habit of taking landanum.
Mr. Clifton stated that he had no doubt from the unequi-
vocal character of the symptoms which presented themselves,
that death was caused by narcotic poison.
After a long discussion among the jury, which they pre-
faced by testifying to the respectability of Mr. Hallows,
whom they considered acquitted of all blame, they returned
the following special verdict :—" That the deceased, from
the mortal effect of a certain dose called Batley's sedative
solution; administered at her own desire, as a medicine,
remedially, then and there died."

Only thirty-seven members assembled in the house, Thurs-
day afternoon, at four o'clock, while thirty-eight members
waited in the library to abide the event of a house or no house.
What excellent jockeyship ! How worthy of liberal men, who
would be honest but for their necessities. Enough for the
day is the evil thereof, but trickery will not avail in the long
run; and the Danish claims will continue to haunt the Ex-
chequer until justice, too long deferred, be done at last.
Your "thorough liberal" makes an excellent mock-reformer,
but a very
sorry legislator.--Evening Paper.-

ANOTHER ACCOMPLISHED LADY SWINDLER

(From the Scottish Guardian.)

In the beginning of last year, a person calling himself Mr.
Johnston, arrived in Glasgow, accompanied by his wife, and
four or five fine children. After a few days, Mrs. Johnston,
the wife of this gentleman, waited on a very respectable widow
lady, who keeps a shop in town. To this lady, Mrs. John-
ston, in a confidential manner, stated that she had just ar-
agland, in very peculiar circumstances, and after
paving the way fora favourable reception to her tale, by some

rived from En

cornplimentai y allusions to the widow in question, Mrs.
Johnston said that she (Mrs. J.) was a daughter of the Earl
of Lonsdale, and accounted for her appearance in Glasgow,
by observing, that she had incurred the displeasure of all her
relations, the Earl having conveyed his whole property to
her, including Whitehaven Castle, the Coal Mines, &c., &c.,
the annual rental of which would be £100,000! To satisfy
the shopkeeper that no imposition was intended, Mrs. John-
ston produced a valuable portable desk, frOm which she took
out several large parchment papers, with large seals attached,
which she said were the titles, but that the matter m tbe
kept quiet for a certain period. Several respectable ci ens
saw these papers, which described the property, and contained
the names of the tenants, &c. Upon the faith of all this, the
shopkeeper in question agreed to fit up a tea-shop in London-
street for Mrs. Johnston, until she should get possession of
her property, and with praiseworthy kindness introduced her
to several tea-merchants, and other friends. By such means,
and to make a long story short, we beg to state that the Earl's
daughter got credit to the extent of nearly £l,OOO. While
the shop was fitting up and the goods coming in, Mrs. J. re-
ceived various letters, bearing the English post-mark, and
addressed "To the care of the shopkeeper," which she took
every means to show. One of the letters she read particu-
larly, saying it was from her solicitor in Kendal, and that it
enclosed another from Lord Howard. Shortly after this,
she received a second letter from his Lordship, dated from
the residence of the Duchess of Bedford, enclosing a £5O
Bank of England note. All these circumstances tended, of
course, to keep up the favourable opinion which was enter-
tained of the lady,—and Saturday last was fixed as the time
when one of her noble relatives, accompanied by her Kendal
solicitor, was to arrive in Glasgow to proclaim her titles ! Of
course, it became then her anxious duty to make the neces-
sary arrangements to receive, in proper style, her illustrious
guest, and, on the forenoon of the eventful day, she left the
house of the widow lady alluded to, with whom she resided,
accompanied by all her children, to make the last purchase,
in order to enable her to appear as became her high and
puissant house ! Since that time her Ladyship has not been
heard of, although the services of the police have been called
in, and the whole affair recounted to them. The only arti-
cle left in the lodgings and which was deemed of the highest
value, was the aforesaid portable desk containing the titles.
On that depository being opened, it was found to contain a
japanned tin case, which had previously been got for the se-
curity of the parchments against fire ! 'When this last box
was opened; however, the titles to Whitehaven Castle, ds well
as the Coal Mines, were all gone—no doubt to some other
quarter, to serve a similar purpose as they did here, should
this notice not come in the may. We regret extremely to

say that the kind-hearted dupe of this swindler has been
taken in to the extent of nearly £2OO for bed and board. For
the information of the public we may state that the lady in
question is a very interesting-looking woman, and seemed
well educated. She is about thirty years of age, five feet six
inches in height, and slender ; with small sharp blue brilliant
eyes, light brown hair, broad and high forehead, sharp nose,
good sized mouth, with beautiful teeth ; and, in fine, a very
lady-looking personage. 'The names of the children are
Charles Augustus Lowther, Frederick George Bentinck, &c.,
&c., &c. We understand that the lady in question has also
carried off, by mistake, from the premises of her benefactress,
a-gold watch and a finger ring.

LORD MORPETH'S BILL-PUBLIC MEETING.-
OUTRAGEOUS PROCEEDINGS OF ROMAN
CATHOLICS AND CHARTISTS.

(From the Scottish Guardian.)

On Tuesday night, a public meeting—scarcely equalled,
and never surpassed, in uproar and violence, by any similar
gathering in Glasgow, bad as some of these have undoubtedly
turned out on many occasions—was held in the Justiciary
Court Hall. This was a meeting got up by the Roman
Catholic body to support Lord Morpeth's bill, and to de-
nounce the bill introduced by Lord Stanley. When the pro-
ceedings were about to commence, the Justiciary Court Hall
was crammed. Those who could not make their way an inch
farther than the door on their feet, were content to he rolled
over the heads of the dense mass, till they managed to get
themselves wedged in. The committee, headed by Bishop
Murdoch and several of the Roman Catholic priests, took
their places on the judge's bench, amidst loud hurrah's froin
the Irish, mingled with confused noises from the Chartists
within, while the people assembled outside kept knocking
at the door for admittance, which it was impossible they could
obtain. Bishop Murdoch was called to the chair, on the
motion of one of the dignitaries on the bench, seconded by
acclamations from the party, which was answered by his-
sing and howling by the Chartists. One of the latter proposed
that Mr. Ross, the Chartist Commissioner of Police, should
take the chair—a proposition which was met with loud and
fearful howlings from the Roman Catholics, who formed at
least two-thirds of the meeting. The bishop had, during the
uproar, placed himself in the position of chairman, and so
soon as he could obtain a hearing, put it to the meeting whe-
ther he (Bishop Murdoch) or Mr. George Ross should pre-
side ? After a good deal of noise and confusion, it was car-
ried by a show of hands that his reverence should continue
in the chair. With some degree of composure the meeting
listened to an opening address, in which the bishop endea-
voured to show that there were occasions when clef gymen
were justified in attending and presiding at political meetings,
and that the present, when justice to Ireland was demanded,
was such an occasion. Having explained in his own way the
principles of the two bills in question, he concluded by an ear-
nest appeal to Irish hearts and feelings in favour of the minis-
terial measure. Dr. Scanlan moved the first resolution, and
Mr. James Donelly, of the billiard-rooms opposite the Tron
Church was the seconder, but each performed his part
amidst tumult altogether beyond the power of the bishop to
suppress, and which seemed likely to end in the physical force
chartists being severely beaten by their own weapons.
Wrestling and wrangling, hooting and hallooing, were kept
up by both parties in a manner exquisitely illustrative
of their fitness to enjoy political rights, until matters be-
came too serious for the ordinary character of a public meet-
ing of free citizens., and the interference of the police was
indispensible to prevent the shedding of blood. A chartist
got upon the roof of the magistrates' bench, and was pro-
ceeding to state that he would move an amendment, when,
by the application of a cluster of hands to his hair, lie was
gently laid on his back, his legs dangling over the front of the
rooffing ; while in the jury box opposite the head of a supposed
chartist, but in truth a Roman catholic, who was mistaken
for an apostate, was rebounding off the boards from the vio-
lence of his neighbours, who kept beating at his unfortunate
cranium as if they would reduce it to a jelly. By the inter-
ference of the police these outrages were checked for a time,
and Mr. Donnelly went on with his speech, of which we
could only hear the words " Catholics and Irishmen," fol-
lowed by entreaties to chartists to listen and be convinced
that Irishmen needed their assistence, which, if granted,
would be taken thankfully, but if denied, catholics and Irish-
men would work out their own salvation.—Mr. Gordon, the
Romish priest, moved the second resolution, expressive of
surprise and regret that Lord Stanley had introduced his
bill. The rev. gentleman was not listened to throughout a
single brief sentence. Toward the close of his address, we
managed .to catch the words " determined to be free," the
connection being lost in the clamour. The other speakers
were O'Neill, a clothier in Saltrnarket, Mr. Green, a stu-
dent, Mr. Charles Bryson, Mr. O'Shea, a priest, Mr.
Stewart, a priest, a Dr. Griffin, a Mr. Davidson, and others,
whose names we could not learn. They went through the
form of proposing resolutions and a petition in favour of the
ministerial bill, the meeting neither knowing nor apparently
caring what was said or done. Each had enough to do to
keep his position, while threats and imprecations were dealt
out with the most profuse liberality. The scene for nearly
an hour was terrific, and required the strongest nerve to look
upon it with any degree of composure. Captain Miller stood
before the yelling crowd for a time like ' patience on a monu-
ment,' and we could readily believe that his presence and
that of his officers prevented a riot of the most serious de-
scription. The Roman catholics having concluded their
business, several of the chartists came forward, and seemed
desirous to commence on their own account. Captain Miller
had, however, announced that the meeting was over, the
chairman having left the chair, and was not to be triffled with
by the one party or the other. The first person who got upon
the table was Mr. Colquhoun. a chartist, and as he persisted
in disobeying the order to go down, the captain with one push
laid him on his back, and on the heads and shoulders of the
crowd below. Another and another met with a similar recep-
tion. One of these was a Roman catholic, who was flourish-
ing his umbrella like a shillelah. The captain encountered
him, and after a pretty severe struggle, overpowered him, and
had him conveyed out of the hall by means of his officers.
The next scene on the table was the boy Jack, the chartist,
calling on the captain to take a Roman catholic doctor into
custody for stealing his bonnet, and another individual for as-
sault. Mr. Moir had been in the meeting, but had seen the
propriety of keeping himself as quiet as possible during the
whole of the disturbances. Mr: Ross got upon the table at
last, his countenance betraying strong symptoms of anxiety.
At length Captain Miller managed to get the hall cleared, the
Roman catholics departing with cheers for Dan O'Connell,
and the chartists hissing and howling. There were several
benches broken down, and the public will be put to the ex-
pense of .£lO to £l5 to get them repaired. The chartists ad-
journed to their chapel in Great Hamilton-street, and there
resolved to hold a meeting in the. Bazaar on Thursday night.
