      Trial Of Mr M'Manus. Terence Bellew M'Ma...

      might be sone doubt as to his being at MaUmabone , bat there was ne doubt that on the 26 th of July he was in Ballingarry taking part in tbe trantaetions he ( the Attorney General ) womipretentlydetailtothem . Hut before he came to those transactions it was necessary he shonld toll them how the person * , whom Mr M'Manus left England for the parpose of joining were engaged at the period of his arrival . Tbe learned eonntel then stated the facts which appeared on the trial of Mr O'Brien , from the time that gentleman left Dublin on the 22 nd of July . As a question might arise in how far the prisoner was bound by the pre-SJC !* " - * « of his co-conspirators , he would not say anything in reference toiniS , but would content himself with a detail of the acts at which he was

      actually present . The learned Attorney General then proceeded to trace tbe route taken by M'Manus in company with Mr O'Brien , and to state the overt acts of levying war against the Queen , which were exactly those alleged and proved against that gentleman , and do not * consequently , need any further notice . It might be alleged that Mr M'Manus had done those acts in order to protect Mr O'Brien from arrest , bat , however cogent such an argument might be in Mr O ' Brien s ease , it could scarcely be supposed that M'Manus came over from Liverpool and appeared in arms for that sole object , and that he did not wish to protect Mr O'Brien from arrest in order that he might become the leader of a revolutionary party . No one was a closer attenduton Mr O'Brien

      than the prisoner . He pressed a horse into his service in order to reconnoitre the military , and had been active in erecting barricades and in the attack en the police . ' M'Manus was the man who arrested Carroll , the policeman , a * atime when some ideawas entertained of renewing the attack on the Widow Cormick ' s . In giving a statement of these transao * ticna , the learned Attorney Geneial took oeession to praise the determined character and oonrageons conduct of Mr Cox , who with twentj -two men moved on through a large number of people to the rescue of Mr Trant with a party of forty-seven men under him . To bis judgment and to the extreme bravery of the nolice , from Constable Williams upwards , might be imputed the defeat of the insane attempt of these madmen to deluge their country in blood . The only auestion for the jury was if there was a mistake in

      the case , and if M'Manus was tha person engaged in those transactions , and to satisfy them of that he wonld at once call evidence before them-Mr M . Wfllock examined by the Solicitor General . —Was employed in the police force at Liverpool Knew the prisoner . First noticed him on the 6 th of June at a Repeal meeting in Circus-street Schoolrooms , about seven o ' clock , p . m . It was caoaR : fall —about 300 present . The prisoner made a speech for ahsut twenty minutes , in which he said , ' Every man who fought with as shonld have a piece of land allotted to him in Ireland that he oould call his own , ' and * that unless Repeal were granted there wonld be Hoody slaughter / Only noticed what was illegal in the speeches— was in private clothes . Another policeman , nsmed Jebbitt , was with him inaseparate part of the room . Remained from the commencement to the end of the meeting .

      Crass-examined by Mr Butt—The meeting was open and was called by placard . Had taken no notes s * the time . Saw no reporters there . Had never seen M'Manus since till he saw him in the dock . Was quite sure he was the same man . Went on the look-oat for illegal express ! ins . In twenty minutes there was nothing illegal in his judgment bnt what he had quoted . Had heard of tenaatright—supposed it was » lease . ( A laugh . ) Would swear he was not speaking of tenant-right . He did not say be was going to Ireland to fight . Did not speak of a fight in Ireland at all . Had never taken notes of a speech before . Had taken notes of sermons when he came home from church . Would swear he used word to convey the meaning of'that every

      every man that would fight with us in Ireland would have piece of land allotted to him that he could call his own . ' Wonld not swear to every word , but thinks they were the same , to the best of his recollection . M'Manus referred to the junction between Toung and Old Ireland . The ohairman , Mr Murphy , on taking the chair , read extracts from the Nation ; there were no resolutions read . No one else spoke about giving land in Ireland . Had given informatan to the police of the meeting . M'Manus was a forwarding agent in Liverpool , in good business . He was very much respected there , and was making money . It wsa not a Chartist meeting , bnt believed there were Chartists present . They did not belong to those at the meetiug . -

      . Richard Jebbitt , examined by Mr Scott—Was emphyed in the Liverpool Police last summer . Knew Mr M'Manus-saw him at two Chartist meetings , one on the 6 th of June , the other on the 13 th of Jure , in Circus-street . Was present at the meefcineofthe 6 thof June . M'Manus was there , and spoke . He said he would have repeal in three months or would have a bloody slaughter . Would swear that M'Manus said that . He also said there ought ! o be an organisation of clubs in Liverpool . On the 13 ; h of June there was another meeting of the earns kind , bnt not so numerous . Did not recollect hearing M'Manus say anything that evening . Remembered crossing from Liverpool to Dublin by the Iron Duke steamer , on the evening of the 24 : h

      of July . M'Manus was on board . Ho did not know witness . They arrived at Kingstown atseven o ' clock in the morning of the 25 ih of Ja y > and on leaving H'Mauua told the steward there was a tin box in the cabin , which he would leave , and that he would either be eoing back to England , or would send a boy for it . ( The box was produced and identified by the witness . ) Witness followed M'Manus when he left the vessel , and went from Kingstown to Dublin in tbe same train with him . On getting into Dublin he saw Mr M'Manus ge to the 1 bi ? h Felon officehe drove there on a car , and witness followed him on another car . He had no luggage with him then . He knocked at the office , but it was locked , and he then went to a coffee house close by , and there witness lost him . About two or three hours after

      witness returned to the vessel with Sergeant Garrigan , ofthe Dublin police . Then found the tin case in the same p ! ace he believed it was in when they first left . Gave it to the sergeant . Cross-examined by Mr O'Callaghan—Will swear that he was told by his head constable on going to the meeting on the 6 th of June that he was going to » Chartist meeting It was held at the place where the Chartist meetings were held . He heard at that meeting some one say , he was glad the Young and Old Irelanders were going to fraternise . M'Manus was always considered , in Liverpool , to ba a repectable man .

      Sergeant Garrigan , of the Dublin police , remembered seeing Jebbitt on the morning of the 23 th of July , and going with him to the Iron Duke steamer . Jebbitt gave him a tin case . ( Tha tin case was opened , and the witness identified its canteats . ) Tbay were a suit of green uniform—like that of the ' 82 club—a cap , a brace of pistols , a liquor fhsk , two purses—nne of them having a five-franc piece ia itand a pair of socks . M'Manus sailed as he recognised his property on its being exposed oa the tablo . . Cross-examined by Mr Butt—Jebbitt said he believed M'Manus did not know he was watching him . Never had seen an' 82 uniform . The name on tha box , as the maker ' s name , was Lambert , Brown , and Co ., Dame street , Dublin ; 1782 was on ths buttons of tie coat .

      Edwaid Lyras , the steward of the Iron Duke steamer , said he remembered arriving at Kingstown on the morning of the 23 th . A tin bix was left in his cue by M'Manus , { . whom he identified ) , with this direction , that he would either return to England that night or would send a bay for the box . He did not return for the box . A policeman came and took it . Cross examined by Mr O'Callaghan—Knew the prisoner as a frequent passenger in the Iroa Duke . His general reputation was very good . Could not xemembar ever having seen that box before . Had seen similar boxes with military officers . The court thea adjourned at a quarter past seven o ' clock to half-past nine next morning .

      The trial of Mr M'Manus was resumed at ten o ' clock en Tuesday morning . The evidence adduced was intended to prove that the prisoner accompanied Mr O'Brien all through his campaign , from the visitation to the police at Mullinahone barracks , to the repulse of the insurgents by Inspector Traut and his men at the Commons of Boulagh . Head constable Crawley proved that he arrested the prisoner on board an American vessel lying about two miles outside of Core . The evidence was almost a repetition of that in Mr O'Brien ' s case . The case for the crown closed , and theorart rose at six o ' clock .

      Demur , Thursday Morning . Mr Butt , Q . ft , opened the defence of Mr M'Manus yesterday , in an address to the jury characterised by eloquence , legal acumen , and , we may add , ingenuity . He has certainly put the case of his client in about the best position it , could be placed before the Court and jury ; but the main facts being admitted—of his participation in the affairs of Moilinahone and Ballingarry , which formed the overt acta of high treason of which Mr O'Brien stands convicted , leaves little room for anticipating any other Terdictthanoneof ' guilty . ' Mr O ' Callaghan followed Mr Butt on the same side , and shortly after five o ' clock the court adjourned .

      Government Regulations For The Preventio...

      GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS FOR THE PREVENTION OF CHOLERA . Friday week ' s Gazettb contains a notification from the Board of Health respecting the cholera . It is of extreme length ; but the follo-ving extracts are of such universal application , and so important to be borne in mind at the present moment , that we hasten to place them before our readers :-

      —CHOLERA NON-CONTAGIOUS . The undoubted authority or the evidence obtained frem observers of all classes , in different countries and climates , and amidst all varieties ef the physical , political , and social conditions of the people , appear to discredit the once prevalent opinion that cholera is , in iwSli- contag ious ; an opinion which , if fallacious , must be mischievous , since it diverts attention from the true source of danger , and the real means of protection , and fixes it on those which ate imaginary ; creates panic ; leads to the neglect and abandonment of the sick ; occasions great expense for what is worse than useless ; and withdraws attention from that brief but important interval between the commencement and the development of the disease , during which remedial measures are most effective in its cure .

      PRECAUTIONS AGAINST THE DISEASE . Householders of all classes should be warned , that their first means of safety lies in the removal of dung heaps and solid and liquid filth of every description from beneath or about their houses and premises * Though persons long familiarised to the presence of such refuse may not perceive its offensiveness , nor believe in its noxious properties , yet all who desire to secure themselves from danger should labour for the entire removal of filth and the thorough cleansing of their premises ; which also the law will require of each person for the protection of his neighbours , as well as for his Own safety .

      Next to the perfect cleansing of the premises , dryness ought to be carefully promoted , which will of course require the keeping np of sufficient fires , particularly in the damp and unhealthy districts , where this means should be resorted to for the sake of ventilation as well as of warmth and dryness . Particular attention should be paid to keeping the feet warm and dry ; changing the clothes immediately after exposure to wet ; and maintaining the sitting and bedrooms well-aired , dry , and waim .

      FBIMONITORY SYMPTOM . Jf the disease should break out , it will be essential to the safety of the inhabitants that they should be fully impressed with the importance of paying instant attention to the premonitory symptom that announces tne commencement of the attack . This premonitory symptom is looseness in _ the bowels , which there is reason to regard as universally preceding the setting in of the more dangerous state of the disease . Sometimes , indeed , under the

      circumstances already described , namely , where the poison exists in unusual intensity , or the constitutional predisposition isunusually great , the first stage may appear to be suppresed , as occasionally happens in violent attacks of other diseases ; but in cholera , this event is so rare , as to be practically of no account ; and in all countries , and under all varieties of conditions in which this disease has been epidemic , the experience as to this point uniformly agrees with what is observed at the present moment at Hamburgh .

      ' In most cases , ' writes the British Consul , respecting the epidemic which has just broken out in that city , 'tbe disease has first manifested itself in a slight relaxation of the bowels , which , if promptly attended to , the patient generally recovers ; but if the symptoms are neglected , spasmodic attacks ensue , and death follows mostly in from four to six hours . ' This looseness of the bowels may be accompanied with some degree of pain , which , however , is generally slight ; but in many cases pain is wholly absent ; and for some hours and even days this bowel complaint may be so slight as to appear trifling ; so that , without a previous knowledge of the importance of the warning , it might easily escape notice altogether .

      It must be repeated , however , that whenever Asiatic cholera is epidemic , the slightest degree ot looseness of the bowels ought to be regarded and treated as tbe commencement of tbe disease , which at this state is capable of being arrested by simple means , but , if neglected only for a few hours , may suddenly assume a fatal form .

      REMEDIES TO ARREST THE PREMONITORY SYMFTOM . Medical authorities are agreed that the remedies proper for the premonitory symptom are the same as those found efficacious in common diarrhoea ; that the most simple remedies will suffice , if given oh the first manifestation of this system ; and that the following , which are within the reach and management of every one , may be regarded as among the most useful , namely , twenty grains of opiate of con *

      fection , mixed with two table spjonsful of peppermint water , or with a little weak brandy and water , and repeated every three or four hours , or oftener , if the attack is severe , until the looseness of bowels is stopped ; or an ounce of the compound chalk mixture , with ten or fifteen grains of tbe aromatic confection , and from five to ten drops of laudanum , repeated in the same manner From half a drachm to a drachm of tincturce of catechu may be added to this last , if the attack is severe .

      Half these quantities should be given to young persons under fifteen , and still smaller doses to infants . It is recommended to repeat these remedies night and morning , for some days after the looseness of the bowels has been stopped . But in all cases it is desirable , whenever practicable , that even in this earliest stage of the disorder recourse should be had to medical advice on the spot .

      DIET ANB CLOTHING . Next in importance to the immediate employment of such remedies is attention to proper diet and clothing . Whenever Asiatic cholera is epidemic there is invariably found among great numbers of the inhabitants an extraordinary tendency to irritation of the bowels ; and this fact suggests that every article of food which is known to favour a relaxed state of the bowels should , as far as possible , be avoided—such as every variety of green vegetables , whether cooked or not , as cabbage , cucumber , and salad . It will be important also to abstain from fruit of all kinds , though ripe and even cooked , and whether dried or preserved . The most wholesome

      articles of vegetable diet are well baked , but not new bread , rice , oatmeal , and good potatoes . Pickles should be avoided . Articles of food and drink which , in ordinary seasons , are generally wholesome , and agree well with the individual constitution , may , under , this unusual condition , prove highly dangerous . The diet should be solid rather than flu id ; and those who have the means of choosing , should live principally on animal food , as affording the most concentrated and invigorating diet ; avoiding salted and smoked meats , pork , salted and shell fisb ,

      eider , perry , ginger beer , lemonade , acid liquors of all descriptions , and ardent spirits . Great moderation both in food aud drink is absolutely essential to safety during the whole duration of the epidemic period . One single act of indiscretion has , in many instances been followed by a speedy and fatal attack . The intervals between the meals should not be long ; cholera being uniformly found to prevail with extraordinary intensity among the classes that observe the protracted fasts common in Eastern and some European countries ^

      On account of the intimate connexion between the external skin and the internal lining membrane of the bowels , warm clothing is of great importance . The wearing of flannel next the skiu is therefore advisable . Recent experience on the Continent seems to show that it was useful to wear in the day time a flannel bandage round the bod y , and this may become necessary in our own country during the damp and cold weather of the approaching season . CAUTION AGAINST IMPROPER MEDICINES . It may be necessary to add a caution against the use of cold purgative medicines , such as salts , particularly Glauber salts , Epsom salts , and Seidlitz powders , which taken , in any quantity , in such a season , are dangerous . Drastic purgatives of all kinds should be avoided , such as senna , colocynth , and aloes , except under special medical direction .

      INSTRUCTIONS IN THE EVENT OF AN ATTACK OF CHOLERA . If , notwithstanding these precautionary measures , a person is seized suddenly with cold , giddiness , nausea vomiting , and cramps , under circumstances in which instant medical assistance cannot be procured , the concurrent testimony of the most experienced medical authority shows that the proper course is to get as saon as possible into a warm bed ; to apply warmth by means of heated flannel , or bottles filled with hot water , or bags of heated camomile flowers , sand , bran , or salt , to the feet and along the spine ; to have the extremities diligently rubbed ; to apply a large poultice of mustard and vinegar over the region of the stomach , keeping it on fifteen or twenty minutes ; and to take every

      I half hour a tea spoonful of sal volatile in a little hot water , or a dessert spoonful of brandy in a little hot water , or a wine glass of hot wine whey , made by pouring a wine glass of sherry into a tumbler of hot milk—in a word , to do every thing practicable to procure a warm , general perspiration until the arrival ofthe medical attendant , whose immediate care , under such circumstances , is indispensable .

      The Cholera. Comxes's Ihcdijt.— At An In...

      THE CHOLERA . Comxes's Ihcdijt . — At an inquest held oa Saturday last at tbe Bedford Arms , Bedford . street , Commercial , road East , before Mr W . Baker , the coroner It was stated by the medical witness that ( be Asiatic cholera , io its most severe form , had made its appearance at the east end of tbe metropolis , In reply to questions from tbe Coroner , Mr Faulkner , tbeparieb surgeon , said tbat he bad three cases of real Asiatic cholera under his immesiate notice , one of which proved fatal on Wednesday week after a very short Illness . There could be no doubt whatever in the ease , the body turning quite blue .

      As it was most probable that the remaining two cases would also prove fata ) , he vrfshed to know whether tbe coroner would , under the circamstances , held an inquest . The Coroner said undoubtedly be should bold an inquest in every ease , in order tbat the public might know the course ef the frightful malady , aad guard against Its approach . Under such circumstances there was ne use insecreey . It was best tbat tbe public should bsow their danger , if there were any . He directed the constable to inquire into tbe case mentioned by Mr Faulkner , aad report the remit to him . All tha cases mentioned by ifr Faulkner hare occurred in Vile Sad Old Town , parish of Stepney .

      Oa Wednesday week two patients , father and daughter , suffering from cholera , were admitted lute St Bar * tholomew ' s Hospital . The male patient ' s name was James Geerge aged about 40 , a labourer , employed in looking after butchers' carts in Newgate Market ; the female patient , his daughter , Is In her seventh year . The man died on the day ef his admission ; . the little girl is recovf ring . The three principal physicians of the boipl tal have certified the death as resulting from Asiatio cholera , and have certified as much to the government authorities . A ward in a new wing ofthe institution has been for some time past prepared and fitted for the reception of oholera patleats . Ia Lambeth , also , cases seem to have occurred . Mr Wagstaff , the parochial sur * geon , was sent for on Sunday evening to attend a person of the name of Fnrsell , residing at 18 , Keanington-place .

      Upon arriving there he found the party labouring under Asiatio cholera . The man being destitute of warm bedding , < fco „ a messenger was instantly despatched to Lambeih workhouse for a pair of blankets and some brandy . Tbe patient was put to bed and the usual remedies resorted to by Mr Wagstaff ; bnt whether the man will recover or hot it is at present impossible te tell . In Brofber ' s-row , Fore-street , Lambeth , two or three per . sons have been attacked , one of whom has died after an illness of eight boars . Tbe police have received , orders to repert every case that may occur in their districts to bead-qnarteri , so that immediate remedies may be resorted to to arrest its progress . — The following cases have occurred at Woolwich on board the JostttU and Unite convict ships ; the first was that of a prisoner named Owen Jenes , who was taken 111 with violent di >

      arrbtea and other symptoms of spasmodic cholera , and died on Tuesday week . The coroner ' s inquest on the body was not h « Id till Friday week , when Mr Dabbi , tbe surgeon of tbe convict establishment , gave it as his opinion that the deceased died from English cholera . At that time suae other cases , though not of a very marks ! character , were on the sick list , but ou Friday evening last Rutherford , a convict employed as cook of the Justftis , was suddenly taken ill with cholera , and died early on the following morning . When bis body was being carried out another prisoner , named Jones , was seized with intense fear , and immediately exclaimed , 'I ' ve got it . ' The maa ran to a surgeon , who , perceiving no symptom of Illness about him , laughed at him , and gave bim a slight dose of purgative medicine , telling bim tbat there was nothing the matter with him . About one

      o ' clock , however , the man was seised with strong symptoms of cholera , aad died in less than two hours , bis death taking place about three o'clock on Saturday , There are still four or five prisoners labouring under the same form of disease , one of which , tbe case of prisoner named Bldgood , is expected to terminate fatally . A communication , embracing tbe above foots , was for * warded on Saturday sight to the Home Office , with the view of obtaining the attendance of the medical Inspector of prisons or ot some other emlaent physician . It b > deserving of mention that although cases of violent diarrhoea have been common in the town of Woolwich , ho case of Asiatic cholera has yet occurred . Tbe three men who have died were men of broken constitutions , although free from any disease at the time they were attacked , Ohdeb in Council . —A communication has been

      received by the Commissioners of the Customs from Mr QrerlUe , one of tbe clerks of tbe council , stating tbat Instructions should be given to the officers of customs at the various ports to detain steamers coming from places where cholera prevails under qusrantine for full six days from the date of their sailing from the fsrelgn port , when all persoas in good health may be permitted to land ; but that In tbe event of there being aoy person on board suffering from cholera , they should not be permitted to land antil six days after tbey have been pronounced convalescent . In tbe event of any death taking place on board , the body should be committed to tbe deep , properly loaded to prevent its rising ; and that all the clothing of persons who have been ill should be immersed in water Tbe Commissioners of the Customs have caused copies of their lordships' order te be forwarded to the principal officers at the several ports ,

      Official Obdebb op tug Police Commissioners . — On Monday evening the Police Commissioners Issued an order directed to each superintendent of the metropoll . tan police , to make to them ( the commissioners ) a daily return of all cases of cholera occurring witbln tbeir respective divisions every twenty-four hours ; the reports so furnished to be transmitted to the government and the Board of Health . The Thames police is to perform the same duties amongst the shipping in the river , and to make a return of all cases which occur tbat are not taken ashore . Thi Chouxa in the Metbopolis . —On Monday , a coroner ' s inquest was held at the Royal Mortar Tavern , Woolwich , before Mr C . J . Carttar , ou the bodies of three prisoners , named Rutherford , Jones , and Bldgood , the two former of whom expired oa Saturday , the latter

      on Sunday , from the effects , it is alleged , of Asiatio cholera . —Mr Dabbs , the surgeon of the establishment , stated that tha deceased died from the effects of epidemic cholera , bnt he would not prodoonce any opinion as to whether it was Asiatic cholera . A verdict of . ' pied from natural causes ' was returned . We are happy to state that bo new oases have shown themselves on board tbe Justitiaor Unite , and the only case that has terminated fatally since Saturday was that ot Bldgood , j wbo died on Sunday , The other men who were attacked by the disease are recovering . It Is worthy of notice that an aggravated form of diarrhoea : Is now prevalent in Woolwich , especially amongst children , but ia few oases has it terminated fatally . Aa undisputed case of Asiatio cholera has occurred in 1 Woolwich to a lady residing in

      Bowater-crescent , but in this case the lady had just returned from Hamburg , where she must have takea the disease . On Thursday afternoon , Charles Wilkinson ,, a coal-weigher , residing in Silver-street , Globe road , Step . nty , while engaged on board a ioilier lying In the Pool , was seized with cholera , He was conveyed home , and attended by Dr Todd , and though all known remedies were applied , the man died next morning , —A patient in the London Hospital also died yesterday afternoon of Asiatic cholera . He was a seaman , and was suddenly attacked in bis vessel in tbe Fool on Thursday last . In this case the hospital authorities have communicated with the Beard of Health , and It is expected tbat a government officer will be sent to Investigate that and an other death whioh has occurred in fie same parish-Stepney .

      Thb Chomra at Woolwich , Oct . 10 . —The convicts on board the Jastltia are still under quarantine , aud none of them are permitted on shore , to work la tbe Royal Arsenal . The Indulgence of being allowed to smoke has had a wonderful effect , and the men seem to enjoy themselves very much . Mr Levy , inspector of po-Hoe for the town , received instructions yesterday evening to make dally returns , the result of whioh will be made public . ' The following Is the official return of the Registrar-General of fatal cases of cholera ia tbe metropolitan districts , for the week ending Saturday , the 7 th last . : — In Old-street ( sub-district ) , St Luke , at 89 , Habere , street , wife of a gentleman , 69 years , ' disease of the bowels simulating Asiatic cholera ( SS hours' duration ) .

I came in the same train to London , and a gentleman of the name of M'Pherson travelled with me . He agreed to assist me in getting my luggage when we should arrive at the

      terminus . The moment we reached the terminus at Shoredltch , he and I hastened to the luggage van as fait as we could , but before we could reach tbe van tbe portmanteau with Its contents was gone . There bad been tied to it a soft leather label , with the words ' George Cross , passenger , London , ' written on it , ( Here pieces of walstcoating were produced , whloh the witness said be should think belonged to the con . tents of the portmaneau . ) Upon ascertaining the loss I was much grieved , and I dare say I betrayed % good deal of anger to the servants of the company , whs , however promised to make every exertion for the recovery of the goods ; I advertised on Monday morning , and received a letter from Mr M'Pherson since , Inform . Ing me that he bad made many inquiries along the railroad , and that he had found no trouble at all had

      been taken by the establishment , notwithstanding the assurances I had received . — Tht Lord Mayor . —I thought the company had made such arrangements as were well calculated to protect the property instrustedto them ?—The Witness . —I never beheld property in a more unprotected state . There is as much protection to be found in Cheapslde as upon that railroad , —The Lord Mayor , —I have understood tbat the losses which have occurred on that railroad had caused a complete alteration in the system!—The Witness . —I assure your lordship the' exposure of the property of the public to thieves is most deplorable . I saw one pirson who had no business at the terminus ordered off ; but p ° ople might do just as they pleased there . They were quite at liberty to do anything ; Evidence was given tracing the possession ef the property to the prisoner , who was committed for trial .

      THAMES . —A Sailob's Divoicr ,. —An old seaman , named r 7 illlarae , appeared to answer an assault-warrant issued at the instance of his wife . Both parties were considerably advanced ia years , and both equally determined on a separation . —The Solicitor who appeared for the complainant , said he would not go into the facts of tbe case , as It would not serve either party to do so ; but if he did it would be evident that his client was entitled to ask for any thing whloh would promote a separation from her husband . AH , however , tbat be at present prayed was , a postponement of the case for a few days . —Mr Yardley ( to the defendant : Bo you agree to that !—Williams ( twitching up his trowsers ) : Oh , I will agree to anything ia reason , you see . She has everythlag and I have nothing . When I married her I gave her £ 200 , and a good deal more moaey since . Now

      let her give me half the lot and I will cut my stick from the whole lot of them . —Mr Yardley : It is not usual for a man to give all to his wife . On the contrary , when a man marries he becomes entitled to all his wife Is possessed of . —Williams : I thought so , and heard so - , but did net find it so ( Laughter . ) I worked bard for the money I gave her , I bare been forty years at sea , and served her Majesty ; so yon see I de not like to be humbugged—no offence to yonr honour . —Mr Yardley ; But It seems you have agreed to separate ?—Williams : Why , yes . Iwill give her half theroue , and go to sea again . I will cut the lot of them—so offence to yeur honour . I am blant Jack—tbat is what they call me ; and I am net going to work bard any mere fer that woman . Blunt Jack then left the court , with as air which did not promise a very amicable arrangement .

      MARYLEBONE . —Tbi 'Ladx' and heb Cook . — Mrs Emma Shaw , a lady of fortune , residing at No , 64 , Westbourne-terrace , Bayswater , was charged on a war . rent with having assaulted Elisabeth Bell , her cook , — Complainant stated that on the 27 th ultimo , defendant returned from the country in a very ill humour , and she ( complainant ) told her tbat she should quit at tbe expiration of a month . On the some evening , while In the kitchen , defendant attempted to throw belling water over her , and struck her over the arm with the poker , at the same time saying she should like to knock her brains out , She was nnable to get to her bedroom as defen . dant had locked her door , and she was , therefore , compelled to remain all night in the kitchen ; there were also

      wages due to her , whioh she was unable to get , —De . fondant denied having struck complainant , the latter of whom she charged with assaulting her , She also said that she ( complainant ) had charged her more for sundry articles paid for by her than she ought to have done ; in addition thereto she alleged that complainant ' s language to her was insulting in tbe extreme . Complainant also struck her over the head and arm with the ltd of akettto , and called her a tigress and other opprobrious names The money due for wages had been previously offered to her , but an objection was certainly made to paying to other matters , for which she had overcharged , —The case was ultimately disposed of by Mr Long , convicting defendant in the penalty of twenty shillings and costs .

      SOUTHWARK , —A Model Paeion . —James Tilley , a tall pewerf ul young mas , wat brought before Mr Cot ting * ham for reexamination charged with indecently assaulting El ' zabeth Chesnutt , a child eight years of age , the daughter of the Rev , Mr Chesnutt , late of Trinity Church , Newlngtou . On the former examination the little girl , who was accompanied by her mother , stated that her parents were living separately , and that she lived with her mother until taken away by her father , wbo took her to live with him at No . 41 , King-street , Soho . That while there , during the absence of her father , the prisoner had behaved la a very rude way to ber , and tbat she mentioned it to her father when he returned home , but he desired her not to mind it ; and that the prisoner , who lived in the house , and had his

      meals with her father , was in the habit of assaulting her in the same manner until she was taken away by a gentleman to her mother ' s residence . Oa returning home ts her mother ehe mentioned the facts to her . — Mrs Chesnutt stated also on tha farmer examination that she had being living ' apart from her husband since the 25 th of last March , having separated from him in consequence of his immoral conduct ; that he had spent £ 8 , 080 of her money in extravagance ; that since then he had had £ 2 , 000 more to pay off his debts , and tbat he was in the habit of associating with low company , frequenting public houses , and getting intoxicated ; that he had otherwise conducted himself towards her in a man ner that rendered it impossible for ber to live any longer under the same roof , particularly as she had a young

      family . She bad , therefore , placed herself and ber children under the protection of her father . She added that the Rev . Mr Chesnutt induced their daughter to accom . pany him to a bouse in King . street , Sobo , where she remalaed for some days , and upon her return the child disclosed the partltulars of the conduct that had been pursued towards ber while there , and she ( the mother ) lost no time in bringing tbe matter under the notice of the magistrate . —When tbe defendant was placed at the bar on tbe present ocoasion , Mr Cottingbam inquired if the Rev . Mr Chesnutt was la attendance , and the answer being in the affirmative , the magistrate expressed bis astonishment ; tbat he had not been present on tbe former ocoasion , when so serious an accusation was preferred by his own child against a man living ia the same

      house with him —The information having beea read , Mr Salomons , who attended on behalf of the accused , addressing the Rev , Mr Chesnutt , asked bim If there was any truth ia It , whether his daughter had complained to him of the alleged assault upon her!—He replied that she had not . —Mr Cotingbam : Pray , Mr Chesnutt , was ' the prisoner in your service , or la what rotation dose he stand to you f—The Rev , Mr Chesnutt : He was not in my service , but he lodged In the same house , aad was attentive , aud occasionally played with the ohild to divert her when I took ker away from her mother . —Mr Salomons : Bo you believe that there ia any truth , thea , ia the statement made by your daughter against the accused ?—Mr Cottingbam ; It is uoiforhim to judge as to the truth or falsehood of her

      account . I tested tbe child ' s capacity and credibility before tbe oath was administered , and every circumstance she has related to sae is quite consistent , aad bears the impress of truth ; fer , although her parents are separated aud at enmity , still it is absurd to suppose tbat the child Inherits their feelings , aad that she weuld come forward to make suoh a charge as tbls without foundation . —In reply to Mr Cottingbam , the rev . gentleman said tbat tbe prisoner was ia the habit ef going into bis bedroom at times with hot water for shaving , & o . The question was put by the magistrate , as the complainant had satd that the prisoner ' s assaults upon her were frequently committed la her father ' s bedroom . —Mr Cottingbam hers had the little girl brought forward , and when she heard her father's denial ef her having complained to bim of the prisoner ' s

      misconduct , she persisted , la the truth of all sbe had stated . She added that she knew a Miss Boers and a Mrs Elliott at the house in King . street , but she did not mention to them the way she bad beea treated by the prisoner , and tbat her reason for not doing so was on account of her short acquaintance with them , aad that she thought telling her father of it he would preveat it in future , That her mother did not tell her to make up the story about the prisoner , aad she added that he was in the habit of taking ber out of bed and dressing her . —Mr Cottlagham here observed that he neter heard an ; thing more Improper , net to say Indelicate , tbaafor a man in the rev , gentleman ' s position la life permitting a man like the prisoner-to be attending aud dressing , and undressing his child , and that child a daughter , par tioplurJy as it appeared there were tiro females ia tbe bouse . To say the least of It , he aoUd * lb great in .

      discretion in suffering such a man to be abott bit child . —The Rtv . Mr Caesaatt said that Mrs Elliott and Miss Sbers did attend upon the child when they were at elsure , but he could not expect they ceuld be always with her ; that he , however , was seldom from heme ! and that the prisoner , he shonld say , had no opportunity of aeting in the manner she described . —Mr Cottingbam : If the child oould not have been properly attended to by you , she ought not to have been token away from tbe care of her mother . The magistrate added that , at the last examination , he had given directions fer the child to be examined by a medical man , In order to ascertain if her statement of the violence offered to her by the prisoner was home out by appearances . Mr Saltlel , a surgeon , found that violence had beea ased te the child , and although eight or ten days had elapsed since

      the period , yet there were Indications of it still existing . Mr Salomons contended that the evidence was not sufficiently strong against the prisoner to warrant the magistrate ia sending the ease for trial , —Mr Catting , bam : He believed the child to be the witness of truth , and that she was not biased either one way or the other , The conduct of the father of the child was most remarkable throughout . He ( the magistrate ) should commit the pilsoner . —Mr Salomons : I hope you will accept of bail to a reasoaable amount , otherwise tbe prisoner will be compelled to lie ia gaol till his trial . — Mr Cottingbam said tbat as it was a bailable offence , be should , therefore , adjudge the prisoner to enter into bis own recognisances of £ 100 , and find two sureties of £ 50 , to answer the charge at the next sessions for Middlesex . The prisoner was committed in default of procuring the requisite bail .
