HOME CIRCUIT. MAIDSTONE, Jclt 23.. Cnotrx Oocnr. Bort Mr. utt i ft Brftt.) Tb grater prt of the day was occupied with the trial of a case of murder, in which th defence set up, insanity, supported by the usual medical evidence, was dealt with in a very decided manner by the learned Judge, who Your Lordshir ar distinctly repudiated tbe medical theory of insanity at a I what ar tha proper qu.tion.

pleased to inquire of us, seeoodlr. Catt, at Cliatham. on the 16th of April but. Mr. F.

J. Smith and Mr. Harrow wcro fot the prosecution; Mr. Glyn, at the request of tbn learned Judge, defeated the prisoner. The two men had been for some time employed in the masttioute at tbe dockrerd, t'batbara.

A few montba is set up as a defence 7 And. thirdlv. in what terms onrbt the question to be left to the jury as to the prisoner's state of mind a the time when the act was committed And as thee two questions appear to us to be nwre conveniently answered together, we have to tubmit our opinion to be tnat me jury ongnt.to ne told in all eases tnat every man before the shocking occurrence tbev had had an altercation i presumed to be sane and to poces a sufficient degree of rcapuu to vo mwnNoig i or uis crime nntu tne contrary be proved to their satisfaction, ami that to establish: a defence on the ground of insanity it mutt be clearly prorrtl that at tbe time of the committing; of the act the party accused.wae labouring under snth a defect ofreuKm from di eaoeof the mind a not to know the nature and quality of the act he wat doing.or, if he did know it, that he did not know be waa'doing what wronz. The mode of nattine the latter rtof the quettion to the jury on theso eeeasiobt ha gsne raily been wnetber tba at tbe tima of doing tiie act knew the ditfereoce between right and wrong, which mode, though rarely, if ever, leaning to any mistake with the jury, it not, at we conceive, to "accurate when nut renerallv and in the abstract, aa whan put with reference to the party 'a jLuuwirugu ngu or wrung in respect ice very act wim which be ia charred. If the ouestion were to be wit as to the knowledge ot tbe accused solely nd exclusively with TCicrcnco so law oi toe.

land, it migtit teoa to contaund tbe jury by inducing them to believe that an actual knowledge of the law of the land was essential in order to lead to a conviction whereat, the law it administered upon the firindple that every one mutt betaken conclusively to know without proof that he doet know it If the accused was conscious that the act was one which he ought not to do, and if that act wat at the tame time contrary to the law of tbe land, be is punishable, and tbe usual course, therefore, ha been to leave th question to the jury' whether tbe party accused had a ufficient degree of Teaion to know that was doing an act that wot wrong and this course wi think is correct, accompanied with such observation and explanation a the circumstance of each particular caae may require." That is, ibe Judge laid down distinctly that, even although tbecact waa done under tbe influence of delusions, with the idea of doing a public benefit, still if the person knew it was contrary to law be would be criminally responsible for the act he had committed. The jury mutt bo satisfied that at tho time of the act the prisoner wa under such delusion as not to know tho nature of the act be was doing, or not to know that it waa wrong. Then, did the prisoner in this case kill the deceased, and did he know he was killing him, and did he know that it waa wrong ox. contrary to law to do it If the prisoner did the act knowing that "he waa killing the man, and knowing that it wat wrong to do to, then be wat criminally responsible for his act It had been urged that there was no motive, and that it wa a sudden impulse, as no doubt it was but if that were tufficient to establish the defence then tho. lest cause there wat for a murder the' more excuse there wat for it Again, it waa urged bat thenftn wts cool just after the act, and that therefore be was mad, though that surely depended on the state of his nerves for if they were strong then he would be cool and collected.

If the defene was not fullv established, then the lurr Lwere bound to reject it It could not be leriouily disputed that the pnone struck the blow, and, 'not bare been accidental, as the men were six feet apart Nor was it possible that (as the prisoner suggested) the deceased could hare done it himself, as it wat at the back of the head, and broke the bead almost to pieces. The other men wem from 30ft to COft off, and there, was no one who could bare done th act bui the prisoner, who was found with the adze ia bis hand. It was impossible, then, to doubt that the' prisoner committed the act, and then be was clearly guilty of murder, unless the wa established. But the defence required it to be shown that the rnan did not know the nature of tbe act he committed, or that be did not know that it waa wrong it, that be did not know he waa killing a man. or that he did not know it was wrong to do so, Ko doubt tbe man waa in a.

sense insane that is, be was probably undertbe influence of delusion, and no doubt the act was sudden, and there was no apparent motive for it but all this fell far short of the defence set up. lie had been for two or three years working at his business, like other men, and as to the swimming in the head." why, it had nothing to do with insanity, and might nave been merely a symptom of the stomach being out of The man had been for two or three years practically sane, and treated as sane, and even though he were under tne influence of religious delusions, that waa far from showing such insanity as was required to establish the defence. Jt was said; there was no motive no known cause and that was true but, in truth, there never could be an adequate cause for a murder. Then, at to the circumstances of the act. There were none which indicated insanity in the.

sense which was necessary. When be found the men coming up to him he put the adzo down and said, He has taken my adze and killed him elf. Did that how that he was not conscious of the; nature of the act, or that be waa not conscious that it was wrong? Did it not rather show that he was quite conscious of it, and i ought to avoid his liability for it Then the prisoner went and made a itatement to the inspector, wld'h wa quite coherent but wa it true Waa it not the tort of account which a man would give who ought to avoid the consequence of bis act, rather than 1 tfae incoherent aero jit which would be riven of it br a man who did not know hat he bad been doing Waa there evidence of inianity in the sense which bad been explained to the jury? Xo doubt the man had been insane, and might have been so at this time, and it would be better to assume that at this time he waa of unsound miad. But the question wat not whether be was of unsound mind, but whether he. wat so insane as not to know the nature of the act he committed that is, that be did not know that he wa killing a man, or that he did not know be wis doing wrong in killing a man.

If tbe jury were satisfied of this, then they would acquit the prisoner on the ground of insanity otherwise they were bound to find him ruilty of murder. Their re sponsibility, he reminded them, was limited to the true and faithful discharge of their own duty, which was to answer truly as to tbe fact. The ultimate responsibility as to the fate of the man would rest with others, who would, no doubt, discharje their duty as faithfully a the jury discharged theirs. But their duty waa clear and simple and it was simply to find their verdict with reference to the truth of the ease and the effect of the evidence. OwEmnox." Dr.

On the day mentionM they were at work together on the same uiai, about Git from each' othtr, and the prisoner was using an adze. Just before the act of homicid th prisoner went twice to the foreman for directions at to hit work, and seemed quite cool and sensible. Suddenly those who were netr the.

two HKn beard the sound aa of a blow, and heard the deccaeed man cry out, "Oh: oh!" One of the workmen ran to the spot and found Catt lying down and the prisoner (tending close to him with the adze in his Land and another witness who came up aaw the pritoaer 'nSovo from the deceased. This witness cried out," He has killed Jemmy." On which the prisoner said. "No, be hat killed him.ielf tnd afterwards ho added that Catt had Ukn up hit adze and killed himself. But, from tb nature of the wounds inflicted, it appeared that thi wa impossible, the wounds being at the back of th head, and cue of them ot uch depth that it bad actually deft the tkulL The prisoner was quite cool and collected, and helped to remove the poor man to the surgery, where, however, he died in a few minute. Th prisoner went to tbe police office and said be had to report that Catt bad taken bis adzo and had struck himself with it severely.

He was then charged with baring killed the man, and said he was innocent. There was nO doubt that ho had committed the act The defence set up on his behalf was insanity, and he bad certainly been in a lunatic asylum for some time, but be bad been three years ago discharged aa cured, and bad been in the service of tb Government in the dockyard at Chatham, to all appearance perfectly in the possession of his tenses. Tbe prisoner, when called upon to plead, pleaded Not guilty with every appearanco of sanity. A shipwright, who was working with two other not far off on same masthonse, stated that he bad known the prisoner or 13 years, but more intimately for the eight or nine months previous to the fatal occurrence. The prisoner, be said, had come to him for directions as to his work about half past 2, and there was nothing then in hi aspect or demeanour at afl unutuaL Tho two men, he siid, had worked together eight or nine months, and, to fir a wss known, were on good terms.

Tbe prisoner just aiwr act was quit cairn and collected, and tber waa nothing, tbe witnesses said, at all unusual in hi ppearacea. Ine inspector of police stated that tho prisoner came to him and said he had something to report, and weutoa to ay, nave been employed ia tb maathoust, and when I turned round James Catt, who was employed with me, took noid.oi my adze ana struer maaeu on to head witn it eriously in urine himself. The inspector said, He's dead then?" To which th prisoner rcplici, No 1 uon anow about tnat wnere is ne I asked the in sictor. the said the prisoner, adding. He was a good mate, a good workman, and a rood fellow." The.

inspector', proceeded to write down tho man's statement, and read it over to nun, and he said it waa correct Tba prisoner wat soon afterward charged with muroer, ana laid, i didn't ao ne did it himself. The surgeon who attends the dockyard stated that in April, lo7, the prisoner bad been under his care for a few days lor swimming of tbe bead, and again for a few days inuetooer sunennr I rom mtiancAMM. lint this witness said be knew nothing of insanity, and bad not studied. th subject The surgeon of the police at Chatham, who saw the prisoner in custody the day after, the occurrence and conversed with him, stated that be asked bun, Do yen know what you an here for and he (aid he bad knocked his mat on the head, and the stupid' fellow fell down dead." "Then you killed him fsaid the surgeon, to which the man replied, I knocked him on tb head, and he fell down dead." This witness stated that in December, 1, be had signed the certificate for tb removal of the prisoner to Banning Lunatic Asylum as a lunatie, where bo remained until December. 1872.

when be wat ducharsred as cured. Tbe witness said be agreed with Dr. Taylor that impulsiv mania might como on shd go off suddenly, and leave the person quite cool tust afterwards. The lesrned Jvwt observed that every impulse, of course, was auuaen, or it would not be an impulse. Tbe witness went on to say that in the bead might be the effect of the impuJae, and that if tho man had been suffering from mtlanckalin the swimming tn neaa anient ne a tymptom oi an attack.

Mr. Joy, the medical attendant of the raol. stated that since tbe prisoner bad been there he bad had frequent opportunities oi seeing mm. ana naa conversed witn. mm constantly, and was of opinion thst he was of unsound mind, being, ho aaid, mad on tbe subject of religion.

In cross examination he said the man had expressed strange opinions on the subject of religion and. in answer to the learned Judge, said considered bim of unsound mind on thoae He thought, said, that it waa a sudden act an act committed from a sodden impulse. Tbe learned COOK. Do you think that be knew, when be struck that blow with the adze, that it was likely to kill the man! Tbo doctor aaid no doubt be knew that but ha believed tb act was uncontrollable. Tho learned CDC said that would not do.

The prisoner's counsel aaid it was laid down on hfeh authority that it was so, referring to Dr. Taylor's work on Medical Jcrlprulnc but Tho learned Wat said though Dr. Tarlor was a hick medical authority, he waa not a lawyer, and was no legal authority st sR. Tbe medical witness said he believed tbe impulse to do the ect was The learned What do tou mean br that? Sun pose a person takes it into his head to steal something, is that aa uncontrollable impulse The Witness. No The learned Judge.

Why In fact.he has not controlled himself, and in that sense the impulse was uncontrollable. ibe witness said tbe man bad been prtvtouilv in a lunatie asylum, but Tbe learned JUDGE observed teat he did not see now this affcted the question. The man, he said, may be mad. I assume that be is so in the medical cense of the term, but tbe question hre is, whether he is so mad a to be absolved from tbe consequences of what bo bat done. He ia not to is mad.if he was not so mad a not to know what ne was come or not to know that be was doing wrong.

I Tbe medical attendant of tbe Lnnatio Atrium at Harming, from which the prisoner was diwharred in 1872. stated thai his grandfather was insan and also one of his sisters, and that whan wa received there ia 18C3 be wa suffering from vtclanchoiia caused by religious delusions. But he was discharged as cured, and was believed to be eared, and th certificate of hi discharge was absolute aid unqualified. Don mis evidence me counsel for tne crosecuuon sug gested that the prisoner, from some previous grudgr, tbo. cause ef which was unknown, had yielded to a sudden impulse to.

murder his mate, snd that all the circumstance of tbe sit. esDccialtT bis denial of it were consistent with perfect sanity, and, indeed, indicated a perfect consciousness of guilt; If the man bad been mad be would bare avowed tho act, and given' some insane reason for it, in stead of which, however, be bad denied it, until on renee tion bo bad soon that it waa naelesa to Jo ao. 1 be prisoner a counsel, on tbe other band, urged that the medical evidtneo and the pre rious history of the pri soner substantiated tbe defence, on the ground of insanity, and he loudly and boldly declared that it was quite clear that ibe man wa insane at th tima he committed the act, and wa not responsible for it He agreed that to make out tho defence it must be bown that the man did not know tb Batura oi tho aet bo committed but ha urged that thi was manifest, from the nature of the set. itself, and the absence of or tnotira. It was quite possible that Immediately after tb act be mizhi bar been sane, for nerhaM th shock of' tb act itself mirhi brinr him to bis sense.

Moreover fit wa urged), ibe verr oolne of tne man just after committing uen a inocxmg xt was itseu ue strongest proof or insanity. Tbe learned Jerboa, in summing up the ess to tb jury, said the prisoner's counsel had done bis duty, and now they bad to do theirs. Tbey were not entitled to follow their own opinions, and say what ought to bo the law, but simply.to answer the questions proposed to them. The firat question put to them was, whethtr the pri sonar struck the blow; and if to, be told them, a matter of lsw, that he' was iprimd Jtit guilty of It this' were so, theo it was for tbe prisoner to satisfy them not that it was doubtful whtthex, be was mad, not even that he was mad, but that he was so mad as not to know tbe nature of th act be committed that it, that he did not know what' he did, or that ho did not know it wa A to the medical evidence, be declared advisedly thst it was not enough to show that a man wat mad, or bad what medical mm called an "uncontrollable impulse, for, even assuming this, law did absolve: him from th consequences of his If be kae what be wa doing, and if be know that it was wrong, teen be was responsible for it That had been declared ta tb House of Lord by the Judges 'England many yean ago, and by the law so declared Judges and juries were equally bound.

(Before Baron FofXOCX.) William Luke and John Batcliffe, were placed at the bar charged with the wilful murder of jCain Law ton, on the J9th of December, 1874, at Silrerdale. Mr. Underbill and Mr. John Bote conducted the pro secution the prisoner Luke waa defended by Mr.Sebastian Evans, and 'the prisoner Batcliffe by Mr. Alfred Young.

The circumstances of this case were somewhat remark able. Tbe deceased was a miner, and wa last seen aliv on the night of tb 19tb of Dvcerober, 1874. Oa tbe after noon of that day it appeared that be went witn hi brother in Uw to Newcastle, and remained with him at a pubuchouse there called the Black Horse, till half past His brother in law then went away, leaTjDg tritb 'the deceased a man named Grind! ey. Grtadley and deceased continued drinking till half past II, and then started on their wayho.se to Silverdale, neither of them beisg sober. Upon reaching Silverdale they atoppad at tho bouse of a Mrs.

Lloyd to light their pipee, and upon leaving her house, according to the evidence of Grindley, and going down the road, three men stepped off the causeway and accosted The prisoner Batcliffe wat one of these men. In the altercation which followed the deceased waa knocked down by one of the men, Grindley picked bim up. Batcliffe then pulled off hi jacket aad challenged the' deceased to fight but Grindley interposed, and the deceased; taking advantage of tbii, turned back and retraced his steps in the direction of Mrs. Lloyd's house. Grindley sever taw him again alive.

About the same time the attention of a man named James was attracted to the disturbance that was going on, and he deposed that be recognized the deceased and the two1 He saw the deceased knocked down by Luke. He then saw the deceased go in the direction of Mrs. Lloyd's bouse, and come back to. wher he had been knocked down. Batcliff was then seen to take bis coat off; and apparently to challenge the deceased.

The deceased did not respond, but went away past the church gates in the direction of his own borne, in witness dames, unndiey, another and the two prisoners all followed in the same direction, but after a. short distance.the only two men that kept to the road were the two prisoner. James saw no' more of tbe dsceased but. after an' interval of about ten" minutes the prisoners passed bim coming back along 'the road at a running pace. From that tint the deceased was never' again' seen alive.

On the 0th of June, of this year, as a collier working in the ame pit wu exaxnimng an air shaft, on account of defective ventilation, be discovered resting upon a scaffold about yards from the bottom the of i man covered with soot and dust, and in an advanced state of body 1 was nakd, and one of. the arms was lying detached at "the" bottom of the pit Near the bodr were some dothes in the pockets, a stocking lay at a little distance, and further xmination showed that round the arm which has been spoken of there dung a fragment of linen and part of the sleeve of a'eoat The features upon the fae of the body were past but a peculiar conforeiation about the feet the dis covery of more clothes, including the bat of the deceased, which bad been pieked up monuis before some yards from tbe mouth of the pit, were all relied npon as drcumstancea tending to show that the body in question was thai of Cain La'wtoo, the deceased. As to the shaft itself, it was proved that it dUtant yards from the extreme end of Slrrrrdale. and that it was partlT connected with it br a tramway. The war in an isolated poaitlon and wat fenced au tne way round by a fence 4ft nign.

Tn moata too was also' nrotected to a great extent by aa iron plating. It was a shaft used at the time entirely for ventilation, was very deep, and was kept at such a rat ef temperature' that, a'ccordiug to tbe evidence, decomposition would overtake the human body in less than a week. Upon th suspicion caused by this discovery the prisoner Lukowts apprehended the following day, and lUtclice, who bad left the neighbourhood, on tbe 10th of July. They both in differ at ways denied the charge. Tbe rest of the evidence gainst them consisted in the testimony of a wit ness Dodd.

who lived at the end of Silverdale nearest tbe shift, and who proved that on the tame nisht (the 13th of DecemWr). between 11 and 12 clock, be was awoke by a noise as of drunken men shout 70 yards off. He then heard a voice call Murder and then more talking, but be did not Ret up io see himself what wat going on. Tbe tamo night, but at a time which he could not specify, the watchman at the colliery, who was on duty between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m., saw two men pass tbe pit One of the men wat Batcliffe.

Tbe watchman hailed bim, but cot no answer. There was moonlight at the time, besides the reflection of adjacent furnaces, and, sccordin; to the witness's belief, it was about three hours before he left off duty that he saw tbe men. This was substantially all that was proved to connect the prisoners with the deceased on the 11th of December and the further evidence relied upon against them rested upon certain conversations, and in a letter found upon Batcliffe, addressed to him and si ned by his mother, but admittedly written at her request by a third person. This letter was not admitted in evidence by the learned Judge till after he had consulted Mr. Jnttice Grove.

It wax written after tho liiscovery of the and contained this eipretiion, No on knows, only your mother and me. there is any disturbance, we will let you know." As to the eonversatioes, th most important was one that Batcliffe had with a witness named orrester, and another which he had with a woman 1 'as ton. Forrester directly accused bim of being concerned in tbe murder of tbe deceased, upon which Katdiffe replied that if be heard him talk like that be would blow 'up tbo pit, a threat which bad the effect keeping Forrester away from the pit the next day. The rnuversation with Mary Paston arose out of her asking him what it wit he wat charged with. Batcliffe then volunteered a statement to the effect that on the night in question the deceased and he had quarrelled about work.

The deceased seized him by collsr. Kstdiffe three times told him to let go and then knocked bun down, and be then got kicked. This wss tbe ease for th prosecution, and the learned counsel for the prisoners baring both sddressed the jury, the learned JCDOE summed trp. His Lordship told the jury that it could not un doubted that the body found in the shaft was the body of the deceased, and that if the jury were satisfied that it was found where it was not aa the result of suicide or misadventure, but as the result of the foul act of some other person or persons.the law would presume murder, unless there were other cirmmstacccs which destroyed the presumption or reduced it to ono of manslaughter. As to this, he was bound to tell them that if they could come to no other conclusion but that the cause of death was due to the act of the prisoners, yet if.

at tho same time, they found that that aet wis the result of a fight or serious provocation, that would reduce the erim to one of inanshturhter. Coming to the question of tho different degree of proof as affecting either prisoner, his' Lordship said that, however this might Tary, provided that they both acted in concert, the law would hold them eonally His Lordship then carefully reviewed tho evidence, making such comments as teemed necessary, and at a quarter before 8 o'clock the jury retired to consider their verdict After a abort absence they returned into Court with a verdict of Manslaughter against both prisoners. His Loummir said be could not distinguish between the degrees of guilt attributable to each, lie sentenced them both to 15 years pensl servitude. Police. Mr.

Sampson aaid there wa aot, but aa there were other charges against the df endant hi would proceed with them. Hannah Brown deposed that on the morning in question, about 2 o'clock, she saw tho cabman flicks it the bands of th police. Sim evilly asked what it wat foe, and tbe defendant immediately struck Ler in the mouth, catting her lip badly. A number of witnesses deposed that the sergeant behaved in an extraordinary manner, and assaulted any one who came in his way. TLiy were severely crnas examined by Mri Williams, and miiiy discrepancies were made apparent A cabman named Woollev deposed that Heavingbam asked bim if could fcrht.

at the same time unfasten lex several of tbe buttons on kit tunic. This was only because be told the sergeant that be ought to be attained of himself for knocking the woman about This witness slued that he had been collecting money from cabmen to find funds for the prosecution, but afterwards admitted that be bad paid their solicitor with fends subscribed by several parties. Mr. Wil Hams aaid he should prove that the prosecution waa tbe result of a conspiracy on tbe part of cabmen. Mr.

Arnold adjourned the cue. A suramins against a rolicc ronttablo named Tillman for assaulting Fizey was previously called on. Sir. Arnold said the officer bore a good character, and be tbould not convict on the evidence. However, he would send tbe ease for trial if the prosecution wished.

Mr. Sampson wished this course to be adopted, and the case wa adjourned. At WoRsrar sTBErr, Hcxsr Lawsox, a cabdrirer, badge waa summoned by Mr. John Jarre tt a den tut, ef LVa, Fiasbury aquare, for rsf uatag to tale bun as a fare. The complaisant said that a the.

night of the 15th inst be went to the rank at the IthnaJ green Museum and the defendant cab was first; on the rank. The com pUinant went to the door and was, about to get in when tbe defendant aaid that he could not i do so without taking ff bis mackintosh coat It waa raining heavily at tbe time. Tbe complainant refused to do to, and the defendant re fused to allow nun to enter thej cab or to take him. A sergeant of police was called, burjtb defendant refused to drive, lis excuse being that the cimpliinaot, if allowed to enter tbe cab in his waierproef coat, would wet "the. cushioned scats and spoil them.

He also refused to go to the station. The defendant said that be was responsible for the clean state of bit cab, and it wa not likely any one would get into it if the cushions fore all wet Mr. Bushby remarked that cabe were most required in wet weather, aud it would a bail thing ti establish as a precedent that a man must take off bisjwet things bef ore he was allowed to enter a cab. What applied to a waterproof coat might also then be held to apply to other dothes, and in the end a person might be compelled to undress before bo could get a cab to convey bim home. He thought, how-ever, that the defendant bad acted fairly and in ignorance of the law, and therefore he onIy ordered bint to pay tbo costs of the summons only.

i.t i m. uicuua was charged, oa remand, with selling pbotograpMe copies of certain copyright pictures. The prisoner now claimed the benefit ot an arrancjement that on bis giving certain information to tbe prosecution be should be discharged. Mr. George Lewis, who prosecuted, said the questions as to the persons who obtained copies of the pic tures had not been answered, 'therefore the caae must proceed.

He then said there were four summonses for selling copies rf Miss Thompson's Boll Call," but as the picture bad not been published he. did boi propose te go on with them, lie handed in one of tb photographs of tceKoil Call to show what the publii wero asked to purchase. He explained that a copy of the 'outline of tbe Diet ere had been obtained somehow, and. filled up fax that way. The prisoner asked fur a remand, as i be said ho bad beeo led astray by a gentleman in court, who represented "the' publishing trade.

He promised to give np all the negatives, vilno 100, and to relinquish the trade. Mr. Graves, af IVI.m.ll n. r.lll tU. satisfactory.

Sir. Lucas and another publisher said they did not give authority for the negotiation. Mr. Ingham told tbo prisoner it did not bind those gentlemen. He remanded bim for another week.

At IlAMMER surrn, Joox Fnxjfcu, a cabdriver. appeared to snswer a summons charging bim with assaulting Mrs. Elizabeth Dalton, a builder's, wife, residing in Hammersmith. In this case the complainant's husband was charged with assaulting tbe cabman, and on beicgremanded Mr. George Odger came forward a hit baiL The complainant tail the engaged the defendant's cab, and when the arrived at her house a dispute occurred about the fare.

He burst tbe door open and (truck her, blackening her eye. Mr. George Dalton, th husband, said taat while in bed. he j. heard his wife scream.

The circumstance were reported in detail in Ttit Tuna of Monday but The charge had been preferred under the provisions of au old Act of Parliament; Geo. cap. intituled "An Act for Preventing, among other offences, the Counterfeiting of Certificates rf the Characters of Servsnts." Sir Benjamin Phillips, exercising a power conferred by the Art, sentenced the prisoner to pay a fine of JU and 10. costs, with the alternative of two months' imprisonment with bard At B0W 3TKXT, ACGl'STE and Ehjlute Johx (alias GcsTAVE and uu Arsold).

and Mr. Shaktoear. soli citor, for tb defendant. It will be remembered that the prisoner Emiline bad waited upon the prosecutor, who is connected with a German Benevolent Society, and induced bim to call at her lodgings to purchase a dog. The other prisoner then presented himself, made a false charge against bim, and, aided by another man, obtained the money and note by threat.

Tbe evidence of tbe complainant taken at the but examination having been translated to the prisoners by Inspector Hagan, Division (to whom Mr. Flowers paid the eompSment of saying that be had never beard a uiier or moro literal interpretation), Mr. Besley put in the promissory note for 100, which, it waa stated, nad been since found at the prisoners lodgings. James Smart, 111, the warrant officer, deposed that he went to the prisoner's lodgings in Clipston street at tbout'JOJou the evening ot tneUUi inst lie taw tba prisoner Emiline, who understood English very well, and asked her if her nam was She shook her bead. declined to stato her name, and said her husband was not at home.

Witness told him that he was a police officer, pointing to another constable who bad accompanied said that be was a police officer also. He then said, I no understand; you must fetch some one who will make me understand." Witness told him that his wife would be able to explain all that be had said, and pointed to the same. of the prosecutor. The woman denied all knowledge cf him, and tho other Witness and 236 then took station.

He said on their way, Don't understand tee warrant which I read to you, an you know the names of 'Arnold or Uiesneker The female prisoner then said that Arnold wat the same of her. uncle, and she knew the other came aa that of a cigar merchant in the City. The next day he went again to tho lodgings end found the promissory note" referred to in the evidence. It was inside sn Enjlish and German instruction book under somo shirts.

Police constable Fletcher corroborated the evidence of Smart, adding that at the station the woman said she did not know that the was doing anvthing wrong and was very sorry.

Sir, In the debate on MacCartby's motion respecting the reclamation of waste land in Ireland, Sir Michael Hicks Beach hit the right nail on the bead when be pointed to the improvement of thi lands at present cultivsted as the direction in which most real good could.be effected. I have always maintained that the really wast land of Ii eland are the cultivated land. Any one who knows, a I do, the steril and ungrateful character of the greater part of what is called waste land and mountain land" in Ireland, and its inveterate tendency to return to its' normal condition unless continual battl is done with it by careful and expensive after it is reclaimed, and who know, at the tame time, how even the richest grazing districts in the country, such as that rightly called the Golden Vale," for want of a comparairvly slight outlay ia draiasge snd weeding, produce less than half what they might do, must fed that it is diverting attention from its nghtf ol object to urge tba reclamation of land hitherto uncultivated while a far less costly and nxes pro 1 fitable field of ia vestment lies neglected under the Iswd of prisoner taid nothing, the Irub farmer.

the prisoners to tho i When this advance is nude we be under no ppr you reauy hension but that the reclamation of tbo bog and mountain and don fin Aam TTntil than all attempt to force it by exceptional legislation will end in conspicuous failure. Your obedient servant, E. F. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir, I thank you for the fairness with which yon stated' some of uij argument in your article of Monday, but I venture to call your attention to the omission of my arguments on that aspect of the question to which you justly attach special importance the financial aspect Your objection to the reclamation of Irish waste lands on the proposed plan appears to be founded on the.

supposition that sucb redamation Would involve a lots to th Imperial Exchequer. But yon omit to state on what facta or authorities such a supposition is based; and it escaped your attention that I had adduced as evidence to the' contrary the experience of many individuals who bad the passage money to enable tbe two prisoners to return to Germany, or that they contemplated any such payment, was quite untrue. Th case was again adjourned. At Maryixdoxe, Jos era Biurr, 53, described as a printer, was charged before Mr. Mansfield with gambling with cards at the Kingsbury racecourse.

It appeared that on the previous afternoon, 4 o'clock, Detective Ser geant yl illiaiu Cox, of tbe Division, while on duty on tbe course, saw a crowd of persons collected together, and on going thither found the prisoner shuffling three cards, and offering to bet any one a sovereign that be could not point out the picture card. Several persons, apparently accomplices, picked out the card and won a sovereign. The cards were then seized by the detective, and the prisoner was taken into enstady. and conveyed to the "Willesden Police station. Mr.

Mansfield fined the prisoner 20.. th alternative being 14 days imprisonment At WerrjiixsxzB, Mr. Wituaai G. Horcnros, of 47, Faultcn'i square, Chelsea Mr. Wiluax Dxoalx, clerk.

of 40, Bcaufort stret; and Mr. giving the same address, were charged before Mr. Arnold with disorderly conduct and assaulting Police constable George Arsntt, 1411 P. Tbe constable stated that about a quarter past 1 that morning be taw all the prisoners with several others in Lin die row. Their conversation was verr loud, and ther aivpeared to bo having an altercation.

He requested them to go away, and walked slo ly from the spot to see ii tney aid so. ne returned and again spoko to tne prisoners, who had made insulting observations to him, and they commenced pushing him about He caught hold of Hpugbton to take nim in charge, but was thrown on the ground and knelt upon, and Houghton then kicked bim. Ultimately other constables arrived and the prisoners were taken into custody the others escaped. In spector Jones, Division, stated that Arscott was seen by the divisional surgeon after the charge was taken, and he ordered; him off duty. Tbe prisoners denied the charge of assault intoto, and called two witnesses, a Mr.

Hughes and Mr. Henry Ward, to show that they were talking quietly, that no assaults were committed, and that the constable was officious and used bad language, Tbryalso positively swore that Houghton was not taken in custody till ha was on the steps of the police station, whitbsr be went to look after hit friends. Mr. Amdd commented on the fact that the other constables who assisted Arscott were not present to give evidence, and also that a gentleman who signed the sheet en behalf of tbe police waa not in attendance. He adjourned tbo case until Tuesday, liberating the defendants on their own recognizances, AXTEEP; HiUTprcgaM, police scrgtant LIB, was ram mooed before! Mr.

A rabain Baaed Hicks was Ukro to custody fcr assaulting a constable, and from tho evidence adJccrd on his behalf at tbe police court the next morning it appeared that on the way to the station a treat ded of violence was used by tbe police. Three sutnaonsea against tbe sergeant applied fcr, and wero granted. Mr. Sampson stated that Mrs. Pirey was IH and unable to attend.

He therefore wished for an adjournment Mr. Arnold asked if any xacdkal certificate: was fesrthoosaiag. cultivation is to be don by tbe occupiers themselves. Sir Michael Hicks Beach's objection, derived from th experience of King Williams town, is irrelevant because th redamation at King Willismstown were effected on a plan which not only differed from that of the Lxll, lur, which 4he Bill proposed to forbid tba department to adopt In conclusion, I venture to cuxgett that it is scarcely fail to describe a proposal to apply.
