Bra of attendance on committees . Indeed , so man could long endure such an amount of labour . I <^ year the Souse had sat 932 hours , passing 89 Mils ; while this year , up to the return , it had sat 1 , 011 hoars , passingbnt 53 bills . The hon . baronet than contended that Government had always been * le to carry a bill when tiiey had shown that they * ere resolved to do so , and that whenever they had ZgLSSS&SST « - *>« «¦** the s ^^ atwsjasB anamount of business as the House of Commons iwa performed . Many weeks of discussion were necessarily required bv th « imnnrfcmt foniiiiafrm
question which that house had regularly to consider , and the tune for carrying measures of a novel character was thereby materially curtailed . But he was far from considering that time was necessarily lost because bilk were brought in , discussed , and then postponed ; inasmuch as such proceeding furnished the beet possible material for fature legislation ; and unless . a government possessed a prophetical power , it certainly could not prevent its measures from incurring such a fate . After defending his conduct in introducing and afterwards abandoning certain bills , his lordship declared his opinion that the country had every reason to be satisfied with the conduct of its representatives .
Mr . Bbioht considered that a full house was much too cumbrous a machine for discussing the details of measures . He thought that such ' details ni ht be referred to a select body of members while the bouse itself should discuss principles only Mr . Stafford attributed much of the delay complained of to the fact that whereas the house formerly consisted of two parties only , it was now split op into four . Cbtwn . —Mr . Hraffithenmoved that the evidence taken before the Ceylon Committee should be printed . Mr . Hawes , on the part of Lord John Russell , opposed the motion , moving as an amendment that theevidence in question be referred to the Colonial
Secretary and the government . He reminded the house that the committee which took the evidence sad decided that it ought not to be published , because it was in a great measure of a private and confidential nature . He agreed in that decision of the committee , although it prevented him from defending the Colonial-office against a variety of nafonnded and exaggerated charges that had been brought against it Mr . UEwnKGATB Mr . M'Cuizagh Mr . Voubbs , asd Sir J . - Hogg having spoken npon the question , Mr . Homb withdrew his motion , promising to fcxingthe snbjectonand to prosecuta-itto the fullest extent next session . ¦
On the motion of Sir 0 . Obet it was resolved that the house afc its rising should adjourn till Wednesday , at one o ' clock . The other orders of the day were disposed of , and the house adjourned at half-past eight o ' clock . TUESDAY , Avbvbt 13 . HOUSE Of LORDS . —Lord Mosteaqie brought Wider the notice of the house the conduct of Charles Gream and Michael Alexander Gage , Esquires , who had induced a number of
persons to affix fraudulent si gnatures to a petition which had been presented on the subject of tae Liverpool Corporation Waterworks Bill He eonelnded with moving that these two persons had been respectively guilty of a gross breach of the I Bwileges of the house . Thi 3 motion , which gave rise to some discussion , was agreed to . Mr . Gream and Mr . Gage were then called to the bar , and were heard in their defence . Both « jf them denied that they had intentionall y been guilty of fraud .
Lord Campbell suggested that some specific puniBhment should be meted out to these parties . The Lord Chakcklob after some observations , moved that Charles Gream and Michael Alexander Gage Rtand committed to the custody of the Usher of flie Black Bod , and afterwards to be taken to Jfowgate , and there confined for tive term of a fort-Bid-it . The motion was agreed to , and the parties were conveyed to Newgate . PrasEcunoN op Pbotbsiakts . —The Earl of Books complained of the persecution to which persons were liable in Ireland who abandoned taev Church of Borne and became converts to flSTrotestanfc faith . After describing some cases of tae kind , the noble earl concluded with asking
Wttther the government would lay on the table any- communications they had received on the subject ; Tne Marquis of Lahsdowse expressed his regret ttatxeligious dissension and irritation should exist to such a great extent in Ireland , which had , to acertam degree , grown out of the system of prose-Jytism which had sprung up there . He would have no objection to grant the reports which had been weened from the police , and the instructions given by the government . After some conversation this suggestion was acquiesced in by Lord Boden , and the subject dropped . ' The Crime and Outrage ( Ireland ) Bill was read a second time ; and , the standing orders having been suspended , the bill was read a third time and
The Friendly Societies Bill was also read a third tone and passed . The house then adjourned .

The royal assent was given to seventy-six bills , public and private . lord Campbell , referring to the report of the commissioners appointed to inquire into the operatioa of the regulations lately adopted for preventing Sunday labour is the Post-office , expressed his belief that such report would go a considerablelway towards removing the evils of which the country lad been complaining for some weeks . He stated
iis conviction , as one of the judges of the laud , that the new Sabbatic restrictions had a tendency to ob-Blruct works of necessity and mercy . He rejoiced exceedingly that those restrictions , which he did not hesitate to say really led to a desecration of the day of rest , would speedily be abolished by the new regulations which he understood government was about to make . Lord MonxAcis concurred in Lord Campbell ' s opinion , and added his opinion of the cruel hardship which the Sabbatic meddling bad inflicted upon the poor classes . HOUSB OF COMMONS . -In answer to a onesboa by Mr . Wild ,
Sir G . Geet said that he could give no positive answer as to the intention of government to take anyateps , during ths recess , for the better supply of toe metropolis with water . Io answer to Mr .

Laboccbkbk said that the report npon the new&bbaticregulationsforthe Post-office had been Iudapon the table of the house , but he was not prepared to announce the course that the government intended to take upon the subject . Aa encounter took place between Mr . O'Connor Ud Mr . Hayter , and our readers ' will find too detaQs of it in Mr . O'Connor ' s Letter .

/ LANCASTER . : ! ; ;; ¦ Rho . v . Thompson and oihkbs ;—Defjuudikg shs Customs . —This was' anindictment for a conspiracy , charging the defendants , Henry Thompson ; Samuel Tillotson , and Thomas William Maddox , with conspiring together to remove certain goods from a bonded warehouse at Liverpool , without payment of the duties ther eon , with intent to defraud the customs revenue of the same . There was another count charg ing the defendants with consp iring together to remove certain wines without payment of the duties ; and . a third , count charging the defendant Thompson with conspiring with certain persons unknown to defraud the Queen . The Attorney-General , in opening the case , laid that thiB
indictment bad been preferred at the inatance of her Majesty ' s Attorney-General against the defendant Mr . Thompson , who was a wine-merchant and importer carrying on business at Liverpool , and the defendants , Tillotson and Maddox , who were " lockers" employed at the customs at Liverpool , for conspiring together to defraud the revenue , and because it was necessary to protect the fair trader , trho was undersold by these practices . It was almost unnecessary to state that a large duty was payable on the admission of foreign wine for consumption into this country . On the wine being landed it was removed into what were called "bonded warehouses , " and the duty was not payable on the wine until it was taken out of those
warehouses for consumption . In these warehouses the merchants had each particular compartments , which were appropriated to themselves , and to each compartment there was a door with two locks , the key of one being kept by the merchant , and of the other by the custom-house officer , called a "locker , " whose duty it was to attend to that bonded warehouse ; by this means of security the wines bonded in such a warehouse could only be removed with the concurrence of the merchant and the locker . Between the years 1839 and 1842 the defendant Thompson had a double -vault in a bonded warehouse , called "Harbord ' s Vaults , " of which the other two defendants , Tillotson and Maddox , were lookers ; and the charge against the defendant
Thompson was , that he , in conjunction with the other two defendants , or some persons unknown , had removed 208 casks of wine between the years 1839 and 1842 , without paying the duty . thereon ,, and without any proper authority . The * > usual course of delivery when wines was removed from a ship was for an officer to gauge the wine , and he then made out a note of the mark and contents of the uaBk , and delivered that note and the cask to a carter , and that note was called " a oart note . ' * the carte * delivered the win © and the " oart note " to the locker at the bonded warehouse to which the wine was sent , and the locker indorsed the " cart note" as a receipt , and entered the wine as received in a book called the "locker ' s hook . " and
placed the wine in the warehouse . If the merchant wished to remove the wine to another warehouse he preferred a written request to the director or comptroller of customs , upon which , as a matter of course the comptroller granted what was called a sufferance note , on presetting which to the locker the wine could be removed , and the looker entered i ts removal in his book . The duty on the wine was seldom paid until it was eold , when it was removed out of tbe . warehouse by a proper delivery order , called a " slip , " and its removal in this way was entered in the locker ' s book . The 208 casks in question had been removed without payment of duty , by collusion with the lockers . The reason why this prosecution was now instituted was
because this fraud had only recently been discovered . Early in 1848 an inquiry was instituted in Liverpool as to the mode of collecting the duties , and an order was made to take the amount of stock deposited in the bonded warehouse there . This order was a good deal talked about , and it was then that Mr . Thompson took a step which had led to the discovery on which the present prosecution was founded . Between the 15 th of May and the 7 th of June in that year , Mr . Thompson , by his clerk , paased an entry of 208 casks of wine , for which he applied to pay the duty . When an entry is passed , an order for the payment of the duty iB given , called a slip , which being paid is a delivery order , and he then got slips for the whole 208 casks , making it
appear that he was anxious to get this quantity of wine out of bond , the duty on which amounted to £ 1 , 951 . This being such an unusual quantity to take out of bond at once excited observation , and it then appeared that these slips for the delivery of the 208 casks of wine were never presented—Mr . Thompson , in fact , no doubt well knowing that the wines were not in the warehouse . This led to inquiry . It also appeared that by the statute the wine merchant was entitled to a drawback for leakage on the wines in bond not exceeding one per cent , per annum ; and Mr . Thompson would have been entitled to this drawback for six or seven years , which would amount to little less than £ 300 , The amount of leakage was ascertained by "
dipping" or gauging the wiueB , but this necessarily implied an examination of the wines . Mr . Thompson never applied for this drawback , because he kuew well the wines were not there to be dipped . This being still more suspicious , the stook-book kept by the locker was examined , and it was found that there was no entry of the removal of the wines , and on examination of the vault it was discovered that the wines were gone . The other two defendants were the lockers employed at these vaults , and without their concurrence the wines could not have been removed . The whole of these wines had been removed between the years 1839 and 1842 , at which time the defendants Tillotson and Maddox were lockers of Mr . Thompson ' s bonded vaults . It
further appeared that , before the year 1842 , Tillotson and Thompson had taken a lease of a place called the Strawbery-gardens , at Everton , where wines and liquors were sold , which , as regarded Tillotaon , was contrary to the Customs regulations . This , also , was a suspicious circumstance as against Tillotson These were the facts he should prove , and which had led the government to institute this prosecution , as a protection to the fair trader and for the punishment of these frauds . Evidence having been given , Mr . Cowling submitted that there was no case against Maddox . —The Attorney-General said he would not then press the case against Tillotson . —Mr . Serieant Murohv then
submitted that there remained no case of conspiracy against his client , the case being given up as to the other two prisoners , and there not being a scintilla of evidence that any one else had assisted or acted with Thompson in removing the wines , and he could not conspire with himself . — -His Lordship : There might not be evidence to fix the other two prisoners , yet the jury might be of opinion that some persons to them unknown had assisted the prisoner Thompson . But be would reserve this point also . —Mr . Serjeant Murphy then addressed the jury for Thompson : and the Attorney-General having replied , his lordship summed up , and the jury found the prisoner Guilty . Sentence will be passed in the Court of Queen ' s Bench ..
GLOUCESTER . Chabqe of Mcbdeb bi Sxarvatioi < . —Elizabeth Bubb , a repulsive-looking woman , aged 40 , was charged with the wilful murder of Maria Hook , at Churcham , in May last . Mr . Huddleston and Mr . Powell were counsel for the prosecution , and Mr . Pigott defended the prisoner . There was also a charge of manslaughter against the prisoner together with a man named Richard Hook , hut the court first tried the female prisoner on the more serious charge . Mr . Huddleston having addressed the jury , called Mary Easthope , a married woman , residing near the prisoner at Churcham , who deposed that the man Hook was a widower , and that the prisoner lived with him . Remembered seeing tno
deceased , on frequent occasions when tbe children of Bubb were at meals , grovelling on the floor and picking up the crumbs that fell from the breakfast table . She did not ask for food , but picked up anything that she ceuld get . She was in a very filthy state in her person , and appeared to have no clothes on except an old frock , which was open at the back . The prisoner ' s children were well fed , but the deceased appeared " cast away for want . " There was plenty of food for all , bit witness did not see anything given to Maria Hook . The witness spoke to the prisoner , having on several occasions spoken of the deceased as a " nasty little devil . " As she was lying on the ground picking up the crumbs the prisoner said , "if she did not get up she would kick
ner in two . On one occasion , when she went out to work the prisoner left a piece of bread of about as big as her three fingers for Maria Hook ' s dinner and two larger pieces of bread , one for eaoh of the other children . She ( prisoner ) told witness that the deceased had been telling her father about it , and added , " sooner than , the d——d nasty little devil should tell her father anything she would kill her . "—Emma Jackson was next , called . She had known the prisoner about twelve months . Mrs . Hook , the mother of the deceased child , died about twelve months : before the child ' s death . The prisoner was a sister of Mrs . Hook , and went to live with Biohard Hoek on his wife ' s death . Hook had three other children besides the , deceased ; they were all older than Maria . The prisoner had two boys of her own , aged six and twelve years , and
they all lived together in Hook ' s house . The deceased was four years old when she died . Witness lived in a room adjoining Hook ' s house under the same roof , tor about twelve months before the child ' s death . At tbe time of Mrs . Hook ' s death the deceased child was . a nice little girl , and appeared perfectly well . Alter . her mother ' s . death , however , she began to waBtc away , and got gradually into a very ragged and dirty condition , and looked worae and worse every time the witness saw her . The prisoner did not give the child food enough , and when she m ent out in the morning to work she would give her a piece of bread to last her for the day . The child would ask for food . The prisoner cursed her instead of giving her ; food . Prisoner was continually in the habit of beating and ill-using the deceased chUd . Had seen Mrs . Bubb eatmg toast and SS

a time when the child was orying for bread , but she e&ve her none , though she would send her a small bit upstairs about as big as ' three "fingers . Th » prisoner ' s own ohildren were treated well and had the same food as the prisoner herself . The child at length got so weak that she was not able to stand , and was in the habit of crawling about the room on her hands and knees . Towards the last she was p laced in the chimney corner upon a heap of wurs . Witness had frequently given the child food , whioh she seized hold of in both her hands and devoured it ravenously . Had seen the prisoner beat the deceased more than twenty times . Had seen her washing the child in cold water some two nr three months before its death ( it died on the 24 th
of May . ) Saw her pull the . child out ef the tub , mish her across the room , and exclaim , "You § d young bitch , you'll never die , and nothing ' 11 ever kill you . " Had frequently heard the prisoner wish the child dead , curse her , and call her bad numei . Saw her beat . the child three weeks before its death . On the morning of its death , at four o clock , witness was called into Hook ' s house by Bubb , who awd she thoug ht the child was dying . Witness found the child on Bubbs lap , groaning dreadfully , and it died at eight o ' clock . Bnbb cried a little just aa the child died , but her tears seemed to have been drawn forth by fright at the child ' s dreadful appearance in the agonies of death . — -Mr . Potter a schoolmaster living at the distance of
about a quarter of a mile from the cottage of Hook , deposed that he had known Hook and his family for years past , and had played with and nursed his children . One day , on coming home , he found his wife feeding the child at his gate . His wife gave her three pieces of bread and butter , which she ate voraciously , and appeared in a most destitute condition . The child was in a filthy condition , and the only article of dress on her person was an old stuff frock . She would have eaten another piece of bread and butter , but witness thought it would not be right to give it her in her weakly condition . He told her to come again next day , when he gave her eorno dinner . She was there hours before dinner time , waiting at the gate , She came daily for
weeks , and appeared always in the same pitiable plight . ' She was a porfect skeleton in body ; but when lie saw the body at the inquest he could not recognise it as the same child , from emaciation . When he first saw the child at his gate he supposed the child to be some beggar ' s child , and did not recognise it as Hook ' s , from its altered appearance since its mother ' s death . Witness fed another child of Hook ' s whioh also came to his house for food . —Several other persons who lived in the neighbourhood were examined , and they all agreed in the accounts they gave of the neglect and illtreatment of the unfortunate deceased by the prisoner . —It was stated that the deceased ' s body weighed only 8 lbs ., the usual weightofaohild on
its birth . The deceased was more than four years of age at her death . —Mr . Humble , surgeon , and medical officer of the Westbury-on-Severn Union , deposed that he first saw the deceased in November , 1848 , when the prisoner and Ann Apperby brought her to him . He examined the child , and prescribed a slight aperient for her , directing that she should have port wine and nourishing food . Ho found that she was afflicted with prolapm ani , a disease not uncommon to children , but not of a dangerous character . In 1849 ( January ) he again saw the deceased at her father ' s house . She was huddled up over some ashes , and was naked with the exception of a small rug over her shoulders . There was no fire in the room , and the child seemed emaciated from want
of proper food and clothing ; made a . post mortem examination of the body , and found it in an excessive state of emaciation ; it only weighed 61 bs . ( Sensation in court . ) A child newly born would usually weigh from Olbs . to 81 bs . This child was four years old . It appeared about the usual height of a child of that age , but was a oomplete skeleton . Death from starvation would present such external ' appearances as the body of the deceased Maria Hook presented . The body internally was healthy : the lungs were perfect , and there were no symptoms of consumption . The heart and viscera generally were small . The stomach was perfectly empty . Looking externally and internally at the appearances presented by the body , witness was of opinion , that tne child died from want of sufficient food and clothing .
—Charles Bampton , huckster , proved that Hook and Bubb bought goods at his shop to the amount of 108 . to 14 s . per week . —After an address of two hours from Mr . Pigott , who dwelt especially on the absence of motive for murder , his Lordship summed up in a speech of an hour and a half , and the jury , after retiring for ten minutes , returned a verdict of Guilty of aggravated manslaughter , and the prisoner was sentenced to transportation for life . Richard Hook was charged with the manslaughter of his daughter Maria Hook , at Churcham , by omitting to give her proper food and clothing . —In his defence the prisoner said he bad always provided sufficient food and clotheB for the child , and had directed Bubb to attend to her . —The jury found him NotGuilty .
Murder by Poisoning . — Hannah Curtis was charged on the coroner s inquisition with the wilful murder of Thomas Harris , her former husband , at the parish of Frampton Cottrell . The prisoner was formerly married to Harris , who died after a short illness , and in a month after his death she married a man named Curtis who used to visit her during the lifetime of her husband . On opening the body thore were traces of arsenic discovered in the deceased . —A great number of witnesses were examined in support of the indictment . —Mr . Cooke addreB&ed the jury for about an hour and a half , examining the evidence oritioally , and contending that although this was undoubtedly a case of suspicion , the facts , as they had been given on oath .
were as consistent with innocence as with guilt . The question for the jury to decide was , whether the atsenio ( whioh there was no doubt had been the . cause of death ) had been administered , to the deceased wilfully for the purpose of destroying life , and , if so , by whom . He contended that the suggestions made in the evidence that the poison had been administered in tea , and in wine , were not borne out , the witnesses stating that there was no appearance of sediment or any foreign substance in the oups . Mr . Heropath , top , had given his opinion that arsenic killed within twenty-four hours ; but here the sickness had extended from the 10 th April—before the prisoner had been proved to have bought the poison at Mr . Morton ' s—until the 30 th , when the deceased died . The same symptoms were apparent in the illness of the deceased on the 19 th as on the 28 th of April . He suggested that the correct version of the unhappy affair was that the
deceased Burns having been used to take magnesia , whioh was kept in a particular beaufet , had unfortunately taken some of the arsenic in mistake for it . In conclusion tke learned counsel having addressed himself to most of the points in the evidence , whioh appeared in any degree to bo favourable to the prisoner , called upon the jury to give the prisoner the benefit of any doubt that may be raised in their minds . —The learned Judge summed up in a clear and perspicuous manner , and read and commented upon the whole of the evidence . —The jury , after retiring for half an hour , returned with a verdiot of Guilty of murder . —The Judge then put on the black cap and pronounced the awful sentence of death upon the prisoner , without holding out any hone ot mercy , beseaching her to spend her few remaining hours in making her peace with God . — The prisoner heard the sentence unmoved , but frequently declared her innocence . The trial lasted about nine hour . " .
WELLS . Chajroi o ? Incendiaribm . —Thomas Paull surrendered to take his trial on an indiotment charging him with having wilfully and maliciously set fire to a wheat mow , the property of Hester Paull and another . This was a case whioh excited the greatest interest in the county , and the court was crowded to suffocation during the trial . The prisoner , a fine-looking young man , is the son of very highly respectable parents , his father having for many years rented a large farm of Mr . Leigh , of Dillington , near Uminster , in this county , paying him at one time near £ 2 , 400 a year . He died in May , 1849 ; and the widow continued the farm until March last , when she was to leave . The prisoner
with two other brothers lived with her , and the prisoner was also the agent of the Sun Fire Office at Ilminisier . Mrs . Paull was to leave the farm on March 25 th , and as there was to be a sale of the furniture on the 21 st , the family left on the eveniag of tno 20 th . At about eight o ' clools Mrs . Paull , Mjbb Paull , Charles Paull , the prisoner , and two female servants left the farm , the ladies riding in a car drawn by a pony , and the prisoner walked across an orchard and some fields , and met the oar , whioh had to go rather a round-about road . Soon after they had got a mile from the farm a light was seen , whioh it was subsequently discovered proceeded from a fire at the farm , for it appeared that within half an hour of the family leaving , one of the wheat ricks was discovered to be on fire . An alarm was immediately given , and after great exertion s the fire was confined to the riok in whioh it originated . The farming stock was insured in the office
of whioh the prisoner was the agent , and had been tor many years by the late Mr . Paull . For some time there were various rumours about the cause of the fire , whioh it was supposed was the work of an incendiary . At last Mr . Leigh issued a handbill , offering £ 60 for the discovery of Va& perpetrator stating that the perpetrator had done it maficioujly . with intent to defraud the insurance company In consequence of this , rumours got afloat that it was caused . bysomeone ofthe Paull Fami yTon which ^ . miwtedthB 00 Miu « to- toWan ^ Me ? to a » m » into the cause of the fire .

an old servant of Mrs . Paull who had been exarome < i at the . inquest , and had stated some imm » - terial ( acts , and then said that was all he knew about it . Upon hw evidence Mr . Thomas Paull was held to . bail to answer thepreaent charge . This witness stated that , on the ni ght preceding that of the fire the prisoner had offered him five pounds to W * wSL ®! ™» Jw . and had ; several tunes since offered him various other sums . The witness repeated his evidence a second time with the greatest accuracy . Several other witnesses were nalinH hnf their evfdence did hot at aUadvTSe oSSthe prosecution , or m any way tend to . confirm the evidenceofthewitnesB Hams . Mr . -Stone here addressed thejury on behalf of the prisoner in anai « .
quent and powerful speech , denouncing in the strongest terms the conduct of the witneBB Harris whose evidence it was not possible for them for one moment to believe . The whele was a perjured tale , concocted for the purpose of convioting his young master , in order to obtain the reward of £ 50 offered by Mr . Leigh . After commenting with great power on the incredible statements of this man , and the manner in which he had given his evidence , and on being called on to repeat it giving it word for word , after saying that he had never repeated it to anyone , he oalled on the jury to say whether it was necessary for him to go further , and further damage the character of this man by calling his witnesses , and showing that the man Harris
had grossly perjured himself in denying that he had aaid what he had been asked on his cross-examination . —The jury interrupted the learned counsel and said they were quite satisfied . —Mr . Justice Coleridge then said that after the strong intimation Of the jury as to their opinion of the evidence of Harris , in which he entirely concurred , it would not be necessary for ^ him to address them at any length . No one could have heard the way in which the man Harris had given his evidence without being convinced that he must have learned his evidence by heart ; indeed he ( the learned judge ) believed that the man , or some one as wicked as himself , had written down the tale , and that he had learnt it by heart . As it was , the case entirely
depended on his testimony , as there was an entire absence of motive to induce a respectable young man like the prisoner to commit so serious a crime , from the commission of whioh' he could hot obtain the slightest benefit , and the ' committal of whioh could only injure Mb family and himself . —The-jury immediately returned a vetdiot of Not Guilty , whioh was received with loud cheers by a most crowded oourt , and the prisoner immediately left the dock surrounded by his friends . PsRiDBT .-rAzariah Richardson , 31 , was indicted for wilful and corrupt perjury . This was a pmeoution by the Watch Committee of Bath , arising out of a summons taken out by the prisoner against one of the inspectors of the police force of that
city , named Dunn , in which the prisoner charged him with having assaulted and abused him on the 27 th of April last , ' The summons was heard by the magistrates on the 7 th of May , and was dismissed . Richardson and a man named Ruddick were then examined , and in the courae of their depositions they swore that on the 27 th of April Dunn had struck Richardson with his fist ; that he had knocked Ruddick down three times ; that they afterwards went to complain at the Widcombe station , when Dunn came in , and , calling them 41 rascals , " kicked them both out , saying he would have "noneof their London tricks there . " They also stated that Dunn had afterwards offered to compromise the matter . Witnesses were now called to prove that these statements had been sworn to by the prisoner , and to'disprove their truth . For the defence , a man named Sargent , was called by Mr . Stone , and he swore positively that he saw Dunn knock Richardson down , and kick him
twioe , in Soutbgate-street , on the night of the 27 th April , about twelve o ' clock , and that he also knocked Ruddick down . It appeared , however , that although Sargent had heard of the summons and of the subsequent examination of Ruddick on the charge of penury , he had not gone before the magistrates , and had said nothing about the matter till within the last three weeks . Mr . Phinn replied on the part of the prosecution , and his Lordship having summed up , the jury found the prisoner Guilty . Isaac Ruddick was then indicted on a similar charge . The evidence for the prosecution was nearly identical with that in the last case . The prisoner was undefended *—Guilty . His Lordship then sentenced both prisoners to be transported for seven years . B y direction of the Judge the witness Sargent was apprehended , and ordered to be taken before a magistrate on a charge of perjury . .
LIVERPOOL . Manslaughter of a Wijs bt ebb Husband Robert Reed , 33 , was indicted for the manslaughter of hia wife , El \ z& Raed , at Liverpool , on the 9 th of the present month , by striking , her with his fist upon tbe lobe of the left ear . The prisoner prayed for counsel , and his lordship assigned him Mr . Aspinall . The prisoner was a singer in a concert room , and on the night of the occurrence his wife went to fetch him home . On their way home they quarrelled ,, and immediatel y upon entering their lodgings the prisoner struck at his wife , and she ran or was pushed into a dark parlour into which the prisoner followed . In about five minutes afterwards the prisoner left the room and went to his
bedroom . A female went into the parlour shortly afterwards , and found Mrs . Heed lying in a pool of blood , being at the time quite dead . Mr . WiUon , surgeon , gave it as his opinion that death had been occasioned by the wound on the ear , but said that this might have been produced either by a blow or a fall . The defence of Mr . Aspinall was , in effect that there was no proof that death was the result of a blow given by the prisoner , and the surgical evidence went to show , that death mi ght have been occasioned by a fall . The jury found the prisoner Guilty . Sentence deferred . Smauno Post Lktibrs . —Joseph Booth Pearson , 16 , was indicted for having , at Manchester , felonioudly stolen a post letter , the Drooertv of John
Wood ? letcher , and also with stealing ei ght post letters ftom the Manchester post-office , with the h > tention of robbing his employers , Messrs . Wood and Wfsthead . The prisoner pleaded Guilty . —Mr . Ppllook addressed Mb lordship in mitigation of pu . nishmelat , on account of the prisoner s good conduct since his imprisonment on the charge . —The sentence deferred . MA » 8 i . AijHTBn . —Thomas Dickenson , a respectable man , was indicted for having at Liverpool , on the 14 th of June last , by the negligent management of a bale of cotton , over which he had the management , caused the death of James Johnson . The prisoner is a warehouseman ia the employ of Messrs . Brown , Shipley , and Co ., merchants , and SSi ^^ M ' * « F *» t « nd the
^^" . recep tion of cotton to be warehoused ; On the day stated the deceased conveyed a load of cotton to be ware ' housed . He slung a bale of cotton from the cart in the ordinary way , and it was hoisted into an upper room , but in consequence of there being no one at the check rope , the bale caught in the cathead , and tha rope became entangled . The deceased called out , and the prisoner came to the warehouse door , and in attempting to free it from the cathead the rope became slackened and the bale fell upon the deceassd in the cart below , whereby he was killed . During the progress of ths trial , the prosecution was abandoned , and the prisoner acquitted . Stabbing a Rbni Coukctor . —Thomas Gordon , an elderly man , was indicted for having , at
Liverpool , on the 20 th of July , maliciously stabbed Wm , Pritchard , with intent to do him grievous bodily harm . The prosecutor is a collector of rents , and the prisoner occupied a small tenancy for which Pritchard was the agent . On the day stated in the indiotment prisoner went to proseoutor ' s residence in Paul-street , and was seen shortly to borne out again , but'in a little time afterwards was observed again to enter the house , at which time he had an instrument , supposed to be a knife , in his hand . On entering the house , he went and stood over prosecutor , who was sitting writing at a table , and said , "Areyon Pritchard ? " Prosecutor answered , "I believe I am . " Prisoner replied , "If you are , lam Gordon : take that , and you will want no more "
and then stabbed him with a chisel in the abdomen On the way to Bridewell he admitted the offence to the po ice officer , and said the prosecutor had been the two . of him and his family . —In his defennatlm prisoner sai ^ that Pritchard had SSffSL ^ tt P 0 B to lnniUnw ; to . , ^ -ri i .

THE IRISH DEMOCRATS IN LONDON . ,, usual weekly meeting was held on Sunday—Mr . Dwain in the chair—and was honoured by a preliminary visit from two of D . W . Harvey ' s special messengers ; they were politely accommodated with a seat at the table . Mr . Clancy proposed three hearty cheers for the success of the gallant " / mft . man , the begotten of John Mitchel , the child of Ireland s future destiny ; " which was responded to in a manner not to be mistaken . The minutes having been read and confirmed , Mr . Clancy addressed the meeting on the necessity of supporting the Irithman . It was not support to merely subscribe , but their ingenuity should be
taxed to place it on a firm basis , nor was it the Irith . man alone that demanded their support , there was a sterling little fellow who had done his work gallantly for the last few weeks ; he knew they would anticipatethe Red Republican ; they should do all in their power to give him a lift too . He ( the Speaker ) would do one man ' s work by presenting to each subscriber of the Irishman ( on the last day of August ) a copy of the Red Republican , gratis . A copy of the Irishman was ordored to be filed , and three copies destributed gratis . Articles wer& read from the Irishman , and highly applauded . Themeeting waa addressed by Messrs .
