Catherine Malloy M ,
19, was charged with having mur-

to speak of the improbability of the prisoner having set
fire to his premises, when his lordship interrupted him,
and expressed an opinion that there was not evidence on
which a jury could safely convict, as it had not been shown
that the prisoner was personally connected with any of the
transactions alleged to have taken place.—Mr. Sergeant
Wilkins said that he should not proceed further after what
had fallen from his lordship.—The jury then acquitted the
prisoner, and he was immediately discharged from cus-
tody. Prisoner : Thank you, my lord.

CHARGE OF PERJURY.
Patrick Smith, 23, was indicted for wilful and corrupt
perjury at Ormskirk. Mr. Monk prosecuted ; the pri-
soner was defended by Mr. James. The offence alleged
against the prisoner was, that in February last a young
woman named Rebecca Sanderson, went before the ma-
gistrates at Ormskirk to affiliate a child, and the prisoner
was called as a witness in the case. He appeared on be-
half of the reputed father of the child, Charles Edward-
son, and made a statement to the effect, that Sanderson
had improper intercourse with a man named Maloney.
which statement was alleged to be false, and involved the
offence charged in the indictment. The prisoner was
acquitted.

John Fairclough,lB, was charged with wilful perjury
at Ormskirk. The case was similar to the last, and, at
the suggestion of his lordship, no evidence was offered.
The prisoner was accordingly acquitted.
This closed the Crown business, and the Court was ad-
j3urned at half-past seven.

The learned -counsel here read a lengthened correspond-
ence which had taken place between Edwards and the
bank, from which it appeared that the bank refused to
surrender the seven bills, upon the ground that a person
of the name of Brown, sume tool of Gillon's, had en-
dorsed them. Subsequently, an arrangement was come

ullu sail that the model exhibited
that day in court by the plaintiff was far preferable to the

that the Town Council had given the necessary notice not

the regular line of the street, on which the issue was
joined. Mr. COWLING having opened the pleadings, Mr.
