      Cdurt Of Exchequer. Steele And Others V....

      CDURT OF EXCHEQUER . STEELE AND OTHERS V . KICKS . Tfrs was an action to recover the sum of A'i 2 for articles of dress sold and delivered to the defendant ' s wife . —Mr . Crowderstatedthattheplamfciffs are si lk mercers and linen drapers in the Borou » h ; the defendant is the parish clerk of St . Andrew ' s , Holborn . For tbe last two or three years he ha ? lived separate from his wife , in consequence of her having contracted intemperate habits . Before their marriage the defendant was a journeyman engraver , but upon his marriage with his wife , who is his cousin , about eighteen years

      ago , £ 409 of her fortune was expended in purchase-In < r for him his present situation , producing £ 300 or £ 500 a year . For some years they lived happily together , until she took to drinking , as was alleged , in consequence of his neg lect of her . On their separation she continued to receive the interest oa £ 2 . 000 . Three per Cent . Consols , belonging to her , and ahout £ 4 per annum besides , from another source , and the defendant agreed to make vp ber income to £ 73 per annum , but had failed to do so . Uuder these circumstances it was concluded , on tbe part of tbe plaintiffs , who had supp lied her with articles of dress suited to her station , not knowing anything to her separation from her husbandthat they were entitled to recover the

      , amount from the defendant . The ordering and delivery of the goods to fie defendant ' s wife , while staring with her sister , . Mrs . Sleigh , were proved , and the amounts charged were admitted to be proper . Amongst the items were , a merino dress , ene guinea ; a silk dress , fourteen yards at 4 s . a yard ; a satia dress , fourteen yardsat 6 s . a yard — Mr . Nash , who had married the mother of defendant ' s wife , stated that Mrs . Hicks had been frequently intoxicated of late years . It was agree ! hy the defendant and her friends , tbat she should l > e placed with a Mrs . Smith for a year , to see if she could not be broken of ber habits . The defendant said tbat he would take her back at the end of the year , but be had not done so . She still

      continued to drink occasionally . Defendant had told ¦ witness that at the time of his marriage he gave the Bev . Mr . Beresford , then rector of the parish , £ 500 for his situation , and tbat it brought him in between £ 3 % and £ 490 a year . —A letter of the defendant to Mrs . Smith , with whom his wife was placed , was put in , in which he stated that he had agreed to make up her income to £ 75 a year . Only £ S had been paid by hiia during three years . —On the part of the defendant it was contended , first , tbat tbe articles supplied , particularly the silk and satin dresses , were not suited to the station id - which she was ; aad secondly , that tbe income she received from her own property was sufficient , as , in fact , his income only amounted to a little more than £ 100 a year from his situation . —A Scripture

      reader at St . Andrew ' s was called , who stated that the amount of the defendant ' s fees was £ 101 during last year . He judged so from having taken the fees for the defendant on several occasions . Some people called them fees , somegratuties ; but there were gratuities besides the legal fees—what they amounted to he did not know . Evidence was given to negative the charge of defendant having neglected his -wife . —Mr . Crowder having replied , His Lordship left it to the jury to say whether the amount which the defendant ' s wife had was sufficient , in proportion to the defendant ' s means , from whatever source derived ; and secondly , whether the articles supp lied were fit and proper for her to have in bev position—The jury found a verdict for the plaintiffs , for £ 13 2 s . —His Lordship certified that the case was a proper one to be tried in a superior

      court court

      . IX SB HEWETT AXD OTHEHS . Mr . Warren applied for a certiorari to remove the indictment had in this case from the Central Criminal Court . The indictment ; was for a conspiracy preferred against ten persons who were members of a benefit society called " The Philanthropic Society of Coopers , " which existed since March , 3821 . The defendants were much surprised on finding themselves charged with conspiracy while exercising the rights and discharging the duties of a committee of that society . The application was founded upon affidavits which stated that difficult questions of law were almost certain to arise , and that the parties accused required the aid of eminent Queen's counsel to defend them upon the trial . It was evident by this indictment that this was an

      attempt to bring the society within the provision oi the fioinbinauon . Act , being the 6 th of George IV ., chap . 129 , sect 3 ; and the indictment itself extended to 122 folks , and contained 29 special counts . Tbe objects of the society were to relieve members of their body who were out of employ ment , and to provide decent interment for them after death . The affidavits stated that a person of the name of Evans was believed to be the prosecutor of the said indictment , he having been , it -was alleged , fined £ 10 by the committee of tbe society while a member of the same . The rules of the society , however , made no mention of the word " fine . "—Rule absolute granted , the defendants to enter into sureties— £ 100 themselves , and two sureties for £ 50 each .

Ingram ordered the ground to be measured , and remanded the prisoner , accepting bail .

      ^ F Fatal Sewer Accident. On Friday Afte...

      ^ f FATAL SEWER ACCIDENT . On Friday afternoon , at three o ' clock , an accident occurred in a new sewer which is in process of formation in Lower-road , Islington , by which two lives were lost . It appears that the Commissioners of Sewers were forming a branch sewer from Church-street to Cross-street . Mr . Johnson , the contractor , had pushed forward the sewer underneath the New River , and down the Lower-road , Islington , and great care is said to have been taken both by tbe contractors and the offices of the commission to prevent any accident taking place from tbe proximity of tbe two cuttings . Mr . Cox , tbe landlord of the lung ' s Head public-house , being desirous to open a drain from his premises into the new sewer , some days ago bad a Shaft sunk in his

      cellar , and a heading driven forward from close up to the New River tunnel . There the water began to ooze through and f coded the cellar , which , of course , made him still more desirous to have the drain completed into the sewer . The leave of the commissioners , however , is requisite for this , and we bear accordingly that Mr . Cox applied for this permission only on Friday morning to have ids drain into the sewer finished . His application was negatived , we were told , in the most positive manner , but , ^ notwithstanding this , Mr . Cox is said to have employed a man to do what he required . This man , it is stated , commenced to drive a beading from the sewer under tbe New Biver to meet the drain on the other side ; but ; inftead of beginning at the bottom of the sewer , he did soa , great way up , and the danger of this was increased as he proceeded , by inattention to the levels of his work . He bad penetrated seven feet

      inwards , when be used a boring instrument called * a searcher , " to ascertain where he was going . The searcher penetrated the tunnel of the New River , and immediately the water , rushing through the beading , filled the sewer like a tide . There were sis men in it at the time ; two got up the shaft with ease , but two more made a very narrow escape , bemg swept off their legs by the force of the current . A labourer named George Ellis , and a bricklayer , named William Bone , were carried away and drowned . The body of Ellis was recovered at the mouth of tbat branch of sewers near London-bridge . The bod y of Rone has not vet been found , but it is believed that it bas been swept into the Thames , and search is being made for it there accordingly Such appears to be the account ofthis melancholy accident , but it is impossible to vouch for the strict accuracy of ' statements collected hurriedly , and without any opportunity for proper authentication .

      Thb _ Govebsmest And The Wrxnow Tax.—Ft ...

      Thb _ Govebsmest and the Wrxnow Tax . —ft « now understood that the government have decided opon the surrender of the window tax , aud tbe eubstitutionof a moderate house tax . There is reason to hope that the Chancellor of tbe Exchequer will have so considerable a surplus at the end ofthe financial year tbat betas easil y afford a million or twelve'lrandred thousand for this Jong-desired object . By the substitution of a house tax calculated to raise about £ 600 , 000 , for the window tax , raising about £ 1 , 800 , 000 , the sacrifice of revenue will not exceed £ 1 , 200 , 009 . Such a tax will in the first instance fall much lighter than the present window tax , and wiil not inter / ere with tie construction of OUT duellings , —Daily jftws .

      Thb _ Govebsmest And The Wrxnow Tax.—Ft ...

      As Infamous Case . —On Thursday Mr . H . M . Wakley held an inquest at the Goat and Compasses , New-road , St . Pancras , on Julia Cooper , alias Jane Lochlaw , aged nineteen . The inquiry , for reasons developed by the subjoined evidence , excited deep and unusual interest in the neighbourhood .. The jury viewed the body at 07 , Fitzroy-street , Fitzroy-square . —Sophia Dudley , who described herself as a widow , and the mistress of 67 , Fitzroystreet , deposed that for the last ten years she occupied that house , and tint three weeks ago she fetched deceased , whom she then knew for the first time , from Brighton . Witness fetched her from Brig hton to make nig ht gowns and shifts , and to be a kind ot companion . She died at ten o ' clock

      on Sunday morning . Deceased suffered from a severe cold for the previous two weeks . A few hours before her death deceased complained of violent p ains in her stomach and chest , for which witness administered brandy and every remedy that suggested itself , but she bad no idea deceased was dying . When she was called to breakfast on Sunday she complained of illness , for which she got proper remedies , and witness then persuaded her to go to bed again , which she did , and died at the time stated . Miss Mary Rutledge , a fashionably dressed female , covered with rings , and displaying a splendid watch , stated that she lodged ia Mrs . Dudley ' s house and was an uumarried lady . Although deceased lived in the same house witness seldom

      spoke to . deceased , as the latter seldom left her room . On S itcrday night deceased slept by herself . Mrs . liudley was very kind to deceased . Witness was in the habit of visiting the nurse every morning , to see how her ( witness ' s ) baby was going on . ( Surprise . )—Coroner : Why , you have sworn that you are a single lady , and now you say you have a baby . How is than ?—Witness ( pertly ) : O , yes , I have a baby ; I had it ten months go . It ' s no reason , because I am a single woman , that 1 should not have a baby . —James Wilcock , a Chelsea pensioner , who was deeply affected during his evidence , stated tbat deceased ' s namo was Jane Lochlaw . She was the daughter of very respectable parents at Dundee . Her father was alive , but her mother ( here witness burst into tears ) died soon after she gave birth to deceased . When a mere child deceased left her home , and witness adopted her . He brought her up morally , and apprenticed

      her to a milliner in Brighton . Witness had no idea that she was in London , until Mrs . Dudley told him of her death . Deceased visited him at Chelsea Cob lege , and always called him father . He loved her as a father . He ' last saw her alone seven weeks ago , when she visited him at the College . The same niebt she returned to Brig hton by the train . -He ha < i no idea that she was in London , He had a deal of property belonging to his child , which she left in his care . She made no will , and he would not keep it , for to do so would be dishonourable , as she had a father . ( The veteran again wept . )—Mr . Jones , surgeon , was called to visit deceased on Sunday morning . She complained of pains all over her . He administered stimulants , after taking whieh she fainted and died in eight minutes . He performed a post mortem examination . The body was bloodless and emaciated . She died of disease of the heart and not of poison , as might have been supposed . — The jury returned a verdict of " Natural death . "

      Suicide is Keksaix-gbeex Cemeieet . — On Thursday Mr . H . M . Wakley held an inquest atthe Plough , " Eensall-green , on Mr . Richard Raudell , goldbeater , late of Norton-street , Portland-place , Mavylebone , aged fifty . —Police-constable 161 D , deposed that on Friday last a labourer directed bis attention to deceased " in Kensall-green Cemetery . He was lying on his face in a pool of coagulated blood , on * the north side of the cemetery , close to the shrubbery which divides the grounds . A razor was found at his side , with which he had inflicted two frightful gashes in his throat . The body was quite cold and stiff . In deceased ' s pocket were his name and address . —Miss E . Glue deposed that at twelve on Friday she was in the cemetery , when deceased rushed towards her , and standing iu front of her stared wildly at her a few seconds . He then rushed behind the monument

      where he was found , and cut his throat ; the bloodgushing out . J . McDonnell , a labourer , stated that he saw deceased walking towards the shrubbery where the bod y was found , with his note book in his hand , as if sketching the monument . Mary Edwards , deceased ' s servant , identified the razor as her master ' s , and deposed that he frequently threatened suicide ; and that on the day before his death he bid ber good bye , saying she would not see him again alive . After which he left home . Other witnesses were examined , who stated that the deceased had been in a desponding state some time , in consequence of disappointments in business . After which the coroner summed up , and the jury

      unhesitatingly returned a verdict of " Insanity . " Discovers ir Diamonds , & c , is St . Johksireei , Chshkeswem ,. —During the whole of Wednesday , great curiosity was excited in the neighbourhood of St . John-street , Clerkenwell , under the following circumstances : —It appeared about five o ' clock in the morning , two boys and a man were passing the end of Spencer-street , and by the light of the moon noticed some stones glittering on the ground . Tbe boys picked several of the Stones up and went away , but others of the neighbourhood procured some by means of scraping up the mud into pails ; and one person alone picked up diamonds and other precious stones to the value of between £ 150 and £ 200 . No

      information has been received as to the owner of the property . Clericai , Wau upon REroHiERS . —The Plymouth Journal has again sent its reporters to the Puseyite Church of St . Stephen , Devonport . On the former occasion the stenographer was fairly paralyzed in his vocation by an adjuration from the pulpit—this time , he and his companions were violently compelled to desist . In order to try tbe legality of this interference , the verger was summoned before the magistrates for an assault . On the part of the defence , an attempt was made to show that the reporters had misconducted themselves—that one of them had looked round to couut the people in the

      church—that they had refused to desist writing when they were called upon by the defendant to do so . Several witnesses were called for the defence , but they , though not disinterested parties , could not deny the defendants bad sworn at and assaulted the complainants . But neither had the complainants any independent evidence , so the bench censured the beadles , for a want of discretion ; witb regard to the reporters observed , that when they attend on such occasions , with the object of taking notes , they are bound to act with the greatest decorum ; and as the evidence had not been sufficient to show that tbe complainants had been so guarded , they dismissed the case .

      The New Manchester Education Scheme . —Sir John Eaye Shuttleworth has addressed a letter to the Manchester Guardian , expressing his general approval of the new educational scheme , and Mr . Joseph Kay , author of "The Social Condition if England , " speaks of it in highly favourable term ? . In a letter to the Morning Chronicle , after giving an outline ofthe proposed plan , he concludes by saying ;— " It will be a remarkable thing if the active merchants and manufacturers ofthe north , so overwhelmed as they necessarily are by their vast commercial undertakings , should have the honour of solving the education question . It will add another leaf to tbe laurels of Manchester . The inhabitants of that city were principally

      instrumental in breaking off the BhacMes from the enormous commerce of our empire . They are now completing a stupendous work , in order to convey to the city an unlimited supply of fresh water . They have made the town one jof the cleanest and best lighted of any of the " empire . They have newly-completed a great free library for the poor , and they are just finishing one of the most perfect and commodious hospitals in the kingdom . I hope , Sir , that in a few months we may be able to add to all this , that they have obtained for themselves one ofthe best working schemes of public education that the world has yet seen . " Parochial Rates . —A general meeting of the working classes of the parish of Dairy , Ayrshire ,

      was held in the nail of the White Hart Inn , on Thursday , the lGth instant , to protest against the unjust proceedings ofthe parochial board in assessing the half clad , half starved , and over wrought workmen for the support of the poor of the parish . The hall , which is capable of containing 500 persons , was well filled . On the motion of Mr . J . Dickie , Mr . . Robert Moore was unanimously called to the chair . The Chairman pointed out the injustice of taxing the poor to support those who were farther sunk in the depths of poverty than themselves ; but he expected- nothing better from the justice-loving Whigs , nor indeed from any other party , until the Charter , whole and entire , became the law ofthe land . —It was moved by Mr . William

      Steen , and seconded by Mr . Joseph Hunter : — " That seeing tbat between fifty and sixty of our poor brethren are cited to appear before the sheriff of the county for non-payment of the taxes , and seeing , also , that from past experience the working man , in such cases , is made to pay with costs , and tbat as great doubts exist as to whither tbe act of parliament compels the poor working man to pay or not , this meeting pledges itself to raise a sum of money sufficient to take a case to the Court of Session to settle tbe question " —Several persons volunteered to canvas the town for subscriptions to carry out the resolution . After a vote of thanks to the

      Chairman , the meeting broke up . -Secession to the Chchch of Rome . — Robert Biddul ph Pbillipps , Esq ., of Longworth House , was received into the Latin communion of St . Francis Xavier ' s Church , Hereford , on the feast of Epiphany , Monday , the 6 th inst ., by tbe Rev . J . B . Morris , of Prior Park , formerly Fellow of Exeter College , Oxford . —Hereford Times . The New House of Commons . —We arc informed that most of the materials used for the new roof of the House of Commons are the same as those which composed the elegant roof first fitted up by Mr . Barry for that chamber . The new house will not be occupied until after the Easts ? recess . —Globe , i

      Clerkenwell.—The Orange Basket Question....

      CLERKENWELL . —The Orange Basket Question . —Mr . James , clerk to the Holborn Union , and several parish officers , appeared to support proceedings instituted by their direction against a large number of itinerant orange venders , who , it was alleged , obstructed the streets and created a nuisance by their cries . —Mr . Combe , after hearing some of the cases , in which it was merely proved that the accused had called out , "Two a penny , oranges , " and carried their baskets before them asked what law was there to prevent parties selling their fruit in the street ?—Mr . James said they were in the habit of standing two or three together , and surely tbat was an obstruction . —Mr . Combe : Certainly

      not . Placing their basket upon the footway must be proved against them so as to cause obstruction , but there was no law to prevent-parties selling oranges in the streets on Sunday . They might proceed , if they thought proper , under the Sunday Trading Act , which tbey , the officers , knew as well as he did would be very difficult . —Mr . James , They ought to walk on the carriage way . —Mr . Combe : Oh , no ! The foot pavement is free for everybody , and there is no act of parliament to compel people to walk on the carriage way . —An overseer ofthe parish said the calling of the oranges on Sunday was an intolerable nuisance . —Mr . Combe : They may call oranges all over the country if they like . — Overseer : I am- an overseer , and the inhabitants

      expect protection from me . —Mr . Combe : You are not an act of parliament ; you are an overseer . What Nuisance is it to call out " Two a penny , oranges ?"—A young man was charged with selling his fruit and assaulting a policeman , — The officer saw the prisoner selling his fruit , but there was no evidence of any obstruction , and on the officer taking him into custody he resisted and struck him . —Mr . Combe said that tho constable had no right to interfere with the prisoner . As he had said before , they had no right to meddle with poor persons for selling oranges . If not in the commission of an illegal act the police had no right to-interfere with any one ; if they did so they ought to expect resistance and assault . He

      should discharge the prisoner . Suspicious Possession . —James Douglas and Isaac Ambrose , labourers , were charged with being in possession of-property for which they could not give satisfactorily account . —On the previous night the prisoners were seen by police constable 334 S , in Suffolk-street , Somers-town , carrying a quantity of timber , when he asked them how they got possession of the property . They gave a very unsatisfactory account of themselves , and were taken into custody . On their way to the station-house they resisted violently , and it required the assistance of

      147 S and other officers to secure them . The property was found . to belong . to Mr . Jay , the contractor to the Great Northern Railway , and Mr . Price , builder , of Caledonia-road , Islington . Douglas , it appeared was in the employ of Mr . Jay , and Ambrose in tbat of Mr . Price , —Ambrose iu his defence , said that they picked the timber up in the road , and Douglas assisted in carrying it . They admitted having told the policemen falsehoods as to their possession of the property . —Douglas was recognised as having been formerl y convicted . Tbey were sentenced to one month ' s imprisonment each with hard labour .

      WESTMINSTER . —Charge op Forgery at the Crystal Palace . —John Watson , late a time , keeper at the Crystal Palace , Hyde-park , was charged with committing a number of forgeries . The prisoner had been apprehended upon the charge of obtaining a quantity of clothing and tools from a Mrs . Simmonds , by producing a forged note pur ? porting to be written by two of her lodgers named Lant , and who worked at . the Great Exhibition structure , requesting them to be sent by him . —The evidence having been fully taken he was committed upon this charge . —A second case was then exhibited against him for obtaining money by means of a forged order . —Mr . Jarman having stated the case on behalf of Messrs . Fox and Henderson , the

      contractors , Mr . T . W . Hall , their chief cashier , proved that , on the 2 nd inst ., the prisoner brought an order for 14 s ., purporting to be duly signed by Edward Level , foreman of carpenters , for the payment of a journeyman named Holywell , and having stated tbat the latter was leaving tho work , received the money , the forgery not being detected at the moment . The accused was remanded . On Wednesday he was again placed at the bar on a third charge . As time-keeper to Mr . Lovell , a foreman of carpenters , it was the duty of the accused to make out two time sheets , containing the names and numbers , amount of time and wages , of each workman ; one of which sheets was to be given to Lovell , and the other to the cashier ' s clerk to enter into a time-book , and from which the pay sheet was made . On the week ending the 13 th of December , prisoner inserted in the time sheet for the clerk , but not that ot Lovell ' s , the name of

      John Connor for 30 s ., being the amount of six days ' work , which in the ordinary course of things was included in the pay-sheet list . As there was no such person as John Connor in the employment of Lovell , the prisoner picked up a young countryman , named Frankland , as the latter was walking through Knightsbridire , and under promise of obtaining him work at the Exhibition , took him into the building , and by an artfully got up tale with respect to Connor ' s absence , induced him to personate him and answer to his number , 1709 , by which means he obtained the 30 s ., and handed it to the prisoner , who gave him Is . for his trouble . To effect this fraud the prisoner possessed himself of the metal number above g iven , whieh must have been placed in the box daily as a guarantee that its holder was at work upon the building . The ticket 1709 , with four or five others , was found in the prisoner ' s possession at tbe time of his capture . —The prisoner was fully committed .

      A Workman s Mistake . —W . Honm was charged with wantonly destroying some marble slabs , the property of his employer . —The foreman of Mr , Hartley ' s marble works , Earl-street , Westminster , stated that defendant was engaged as a workman last week at 2 s . per day . On Saturday evening his wages , calculated at that rate , were offered to him , when he demanded to be paid at the rate of 2 s . Gd . a day , Witness asked him to speak to Mr . Hartley , bnt he refused , saying he would be paid what he demanded or smash the windows—not then , to be locked up all day on Sunday—but on Monday morning . On that day he again ... appeared , and then demanded 3 s . a day . This demand not being complied witb , he deliberately walked up the vard ,

      and wilfully pulled over a number of marble slabs tbat were placed against a fence , threw them to the ground , by which some of them were broken ; and the actual damage , even if the fragments were worked up to the best advantage , amounted to £ 2 . —Defendant said his general wages as a marble polisher were 3 s . a day , and coolly said "I only smashed just as much as the balance of my wages was worth . "—Mr . Broderip observed that if he had any claim against his employer the law was open to him , and if in the right be would have recovered the amount of his claim . Instead of which he choose to commit the mischief , for which he must either pay the amount of the damage , £ 2 , or be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for a month . —He was committed in default .

      BOW-STREET . — Gross . Outragb and Attempted Robber * . —Patrick Bryan , Anne Sullivan , and Anne Wild , were charged with committing a Violent assault on G . Hardy , waiter at the White Horse , Long-acre . —Prosecutor stated that on Sunday night , just as tbe house was closing , the prisoners , with half-a-dozen others , came in and called for a pot of porter . It was served to them , the landlord requesting them to leave as soon as convenient , on account of the lateness of the hour . The party asked to be obliged with more , promising not to remain two minutes . Whilst the party were

      standing tbe landlord missed a pot , which deponent saw the male prisoner attempt to secret . Perceiving that he was watched , Bryan went into the parlour and got rid of the article by placing it under the table . He then commenced abusing the waiter , and , seizing him by the hair of his head , dragged him into the street , while his companions beat him . Sullivan and Wild kicked prosecutor , while he was held on the ground by tbe male prisoner , and in the fray prosecutor ' s new hat was stolen . —Mr . Hall fined Bryan £ 2 , and the female prisoners 30 s . each . Bryan ' s fine was immediately paid ; the two girls were committed to prison .

      ROBBERT FROM A SOLICITOR ' S STRONG ROOM . — Mary Anne Hutchings was charged with being concerned in a robbery of plate from the office of Messrs . Campbell and Witty , 21 , Essex-street , Strand . —Mr . H . Campbell stated tbat some time ago the plate in question was placed in his care by a Mr . Lovell , its owner , and witness for security requested ofhis brother that it might be deposited in the strong room of Campbell and Witty , It had so remained since March , 1850 . A policeman called upon him a few days ago with information which induced him to go down to Esscx-street and inspect tbe plate . He found tbe box in which the articles had been left ; a tape and seal ori ginally placed on the lock had been removed , and the lock itself had been strained . He missed from the box two tea spoons , one pair of sugar tongs , eleven

      dessert forks , nine dessert spoons , all of silver , one diamond pin , and another of opal . He had retained exclusive possession of the key . —Brown , a detective officer , said he apprehended the prisoner on Saturday night last , informing her of tbe charge as above stated . She then volunteered to tell him all she knew about the missing articles , and asked him to come to her lodgings . She said she had pledged the plaie with various pawnbrokers tor a man named Hargreaves , who bad beonaclerkto Messrs .
