There had been a kettle and a saucepan on the fire , and in tho struggle the kettle was knocked off and the water spilled about , and then Murphy took up the saucepan and threw tinwater on me . Murphy went out , andaslie _ » a" > coining hack I heard the girl say , "He has a knife . " lie hit me with the knife on the eye . 1 heard soaiehody say , "Stick him . " I had no knowledge of tae . -e intra before . The deceased was not in the room up to this . I became senseless on tne floor . The prisoners were sober . —Samuel Lee said : 1 am hroiuer-in-Iaw of deceased . I was in Cross-street ,
and ht-Mfd a noise in the Wiltshire . I and Alien Jlahony went in . The two prisoners and another man were beating John L \» wd . He called me to help him .

Ax Atiorxey Convicteo of Febjoky . —Thomas Griffia Puilpotts , attoniey-at-iaw , was charged With having committed wilful and corrupt perjury at the last assizes for this county . —Mr . Keating , in opening the case , said : —On the 27 th of March last there came on to he tried in tbe next court a cause called " Doe , on the demise of Thomas Richards , v , Lewis Lswia . " It was an action of tjvctinent brought by Thomas Richards to recover possession of certain leasehold premises held by the defendant . Mr . Puilpotts :: cieu ou that occasion as the attorney for ttie plaint-. tf . The premises in «> pute were beid uuder a lease granted iu 18 ti to two persons named Rhys Morgan and William Joseph . Iu that action the plaintiff claimed through Rhys Morgan , and it was therefore necessary for him to show that
Morgan was the survivor of the two lessees , aud that Joseph was dead ; and accordingly , in the course of the cause , the plaintiff ' s counsel put iu with that view a document which purported to be an ofiice copy of the will of William Joseph , and it was proposed to be read in order to show that Joseph was dead . It was objected thai this office copy was not evidence , and could not he read as an office copy of a will in any shape or way . On this Mr . Phil potts , after communicating with his counsel , was called as a witness , and swore that he had compared that document with the original will in the Consistency Court of LlandafJ . It was then objected lb . it this did not make the document evidence , and tbe learned judge who presided ( Mr . Justice Talfourd ) said to the couusel who led for
the plaintiff , * ' An examined copy of a will will not answer . 'Son must have the probate or act of probate . " Ou winch Mr , l ' niipoua swore that he had examined the document proposed to he read with the act-hook and the act of probate in tbe Consistorial Court . This appeared rather strange . It was strange that he should have examined that docum .-ut with the original will aud with ihe actt ) 00 k and tho act Of probate . Accoraiugly , tne Counsel for liio defendant in the action cross-examined Mr . Ph'ripotts very strictly , so that there should be no mistake In the matua .- ; aud he repeated distinctly , again aud again , mat he had examined tbe document with the original will , and with the act-book , and the act of probate ; and on being sifted in cross-examination , he gave the time at widen , the place where , the persons with whom , and the circumstances under which he made the examination . The whole ol the material parts of liiis .
statement would be proved to be totally and entirely false , and falsa to the knowledge of the defendant whim he swore them . —His Lordship said , that thougi ! his own private opinion was that the law ought to be that whatever was sworn in the course of a cause in a court of justice should be the subject of an indictment for perjury , yet he had not the least doubt that as the law now stood that which was the subject of such an indictment must be something capaolts of supporting the Issue . He would not now determine this question , but reserve it for the Court of Criminal Appeal , if the verdict should be against the defendant . —Mr . Sergeant Allen then addressed the jury for the defendant . — The jury deliberated for four minute- , and then returned ft verdict 01 Gllllty . —The defendant was then admitted to bail till the next assizes , in ordei that t ie poiut reserved may be decided in the Court of Appeal .

When he was walking along the JJun . iry-hiU he was attacked by a man , who made a snatch at his seals . Tbe prosecutor knocked him down , and then , as he stated , uot knowing the mode of Uuglish fighting , lie adopted the Mak « se practice , and picked him up and threw ltim over his head . Another man then
came up aud struck as the prosecutor with a long stick , but missed him . The two men took his seals and chain , and then ran away . The next morniag the prosecutor we . it with the postmaster to a public hOUae in Chew Magna . The postmaster Went into a room where Samuel Gadd was sitting , and they bej . au to talk of the robbery , when Gadd said he knew all about it , and would tell if they would give him some money . The postmaster told hiiu to HQ . into the other room , and the moment be did so the prosecutor charged him with being the man who had rohbeJ him , aud spoke particularly to his boots , which he took particular notice of when he threw the m . in over his head . Wedlock was afterwards taken up , and the prosecutor swore lie was the other man who had robbed him .

CROTDOX . HATCH V . THE L 0 SU 0 N AND BRIGHTON RAILWAY COMFANT . Railway Comjsio . v . —Heavt Damages . —This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover diimajres for injuries he had sustained through the alleged negligence of the defendants . The circumstances under which the action was brought were of rath <> r a peculiar character , inasmuch as the plaintiff appeared to have sustained ihe injuries for which he sought compensation while he was travelling by one of the South-Eastern trains , and not hy any direct act ef the defendants . It appeared that the accident occurred on the 14 th of March , and the evidence went to show that what is culled a " pick-up " tr . iin hnd started from London between the ordinary quarter-past seven o ' clock Croydon train and the Dover and Hastings train , which
started from London at half-past seven . The Croydon train passed Xew Cross , the scene of the jiccident , with safety , and upon the arrival of the " pick-up " it stopped for the purpose of having some carriages attached to it ; and to effect this it was necessary that it should be " shunted " off the main line to a siding . At this period it was admitted that the Dover train was known to be nearly due ; but it appeared that before the tail carriages ol the " pick-up" train were got off the main line the expected train came up and run into them , causing thereby a violent concussion and serious injury to the plaintiff . The case for the plaintiff was that the tra i n of the South Eastern Company had started in due course , that they were entitled to travel freely upon the line , and that the accident h . d been occasioned by the negligence of the sex vants of the defendants in not bavins the line
cleared , and permitting tbe obstruction to be upon it which was the occasion of the accident . —Mr . Sergeant Cbannell called several servants of . th > - Brighton company as witnesses on behalf of the defendants , but their evidence was very far from making out the case as suggested by the learned sergeant ; for , although it appeared that two green flags had been exhibited as signals , it was admitted that they only indicated caution to the coming train , aud that the red fiig , which was an indication of danger , was not shown at all ; and 0116 Of the witnesses admitted that he was uot even awave that the " pick-up" train was to be shunted in the way described , and that if he bad he should certainly have exhibited the " danger" signal . It was likewise elicited , in tbe course of cross examination , that a clock at the station , which regulated the movement of a large number of trains , was five minutes too slow , and the watchman said , in answer to questions put to him by Mr . Chambers , that this clock was in his charge , and that he
wound it up , but lie at tbe same time stated that lie had no correct meams of knowing whether it kept good time or not ; it being at the same time proved in evidence that the process of "shunting " occupied from seven to ten minutes , that a great number of trains were continually passing , anu that every minute was occasionall y of the UlulOsl importance as regarded the safety of the public travelling upon the railway . —The Lord Chief Justice summed up the rase with his usual care ana clearness . His lordship called the attention of the jury to the facta of the case , aud said that be could not help expressing his Strong disapprobation at the manner the clock , upon the accuracy of which the lives of so many people solely depended , was taken charge of , and th < t it should not give the time correctly when almost every minute was of importance in preparing the necessary operation ? at this station . —The jury , after deliberating for a quarter of an hour , returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages . £ 1 , 500 .
SOLTAU V . DE HELD . Roman Catholic Bei . i . 3 . —This was an action to recover damages for injury sustained by the phui . tiff by reason of a nuisance occasioned by the defendant . —Mr . Chambers ' said that the plaintiff in this action was a merchant in the City of London , and he instituted the present proceedings in order to relieve himself and his nei g hbours from a most intolerable nuisance , for the erection of which the defendant was answerable in point of law . The plaintiff had for several years occupied a house ia New Park-road ,: Clapham ; this hou-e was formerly a large mansion , and it had been altered into two residences and somewhere about the year fc i othcr P ' of the premises was purchased for the purpose of a Roman Catholic society , called the Redemption Fathers , of which sosiet ) the defendant , Mr . De Held , was the superior . It appeared that the moment they took possession of the premises they con vet ted it to religious , purposes , and a large bell was placed at the top of

the house . This bull , as he was . instructed , was ,-. lmost com in . My ringing from morning till night , commencing aswrly a * . five » ^ lll u """ ruing , Md it wa » very soon found to be a most wiou * nn rai ic « ii « tuul ) ' " » ihe plaint ff , but also to the wiiole nfici . hourhf . oil . At length a communication , signed hi the pb . ii . iiff and beveial other si-ntlomeii , was sent to the defendant , comp laining ¦ o ¦ theinconvenience that was sustained lrom the tolling oi this bell ; fut no notice was taken ot that communication , and in December , 1848 , Mr . Field , a profes . sioual gentleman , had an interview-with- " Mr . Hastings , the defendant ' s attorney , on behalf of Mr . SoU * n , « iid upon the subject of the nupance that was complained of . Mr . Hastings acted upon the occasion with the utmost courtesy , but in the
result the defendant declined to make any alteration in the proceeding of ringing the bell unless . be was compelled by law to do so . For a short period after this the hour lor ringing tbe bell in the uioruincr was changed from five to six o clock , but the old hour was very soon returned to , and this continued until the commencement of the present year , * lien a much more serious nuisance was created . It appeared that the society had built a regular belfry upon a portion of these premises , and having rcmovet ) I the bell from the top of the house , they now had a regular peal of six hells ' , which , accordins to his instructions , were being continually ru « g , ana which constituted the most serious nuisance to the whole neighbourhood . Tbe ringing commenced
at five o ' clock in the morning with tne smaller bell , and then the other beds were rung at intervals during nearly the whole of tbe day . The plaintiff and his neighbours remonstrated with the defendant upon the subject of this serious nuisance , but it was of no avail ; and he distinctly told them that the bells should not be stopped unless by tbe law , and under these circumstances the present action was brought . —Several witnesses were examined who thought the bells a nuisance . —Tbe jury were in deliberation about two hours , when they returned into court and gave a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages , 40 s . —Upon tho application of the learned counsel his lordship said he thought it was a case in which be ought to certify . CHESTER .
BEDDISH V . PR 1 ESTNALL . —BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGB . This was an action to recover compensation in damages for a breach of promise of marriage . The defendant pleaded first , that it was agreed the plaintiff and defendant should bo married when the latter was able to set up in business , hut that' he had never been in a condition to perform the promise ; and next , that they had mutually agreed to waive the promise . —Mr . Evans stated the case . In 1812 , tho defendant first became acquainted with the plaintiff . He was at that time an assistant . to a Mr . Drinkwater , a large draper in the same town . Thedefendant was at first struck with her , and became a frequent visitor at her father ' s house , so much so that it led to observation on
the part of Mr . Drinkwater ; but on that gentleman learning the cause of those visits , he made no objection . In the year 18 i 3 , a correspondence commenced between the parties , which continued until July , 1818 , when he went to London , where he met with his present wife , unfortunately for the happiness of the plaintiff . A letter , written by the defendant to the plaintiff , dated March , 1843 , appeared to be a reply to one from the plaintiff , in which she had complained of being addressed as " madam . " He began the letter , "Dear Ann-First and foremost I beg pardon for the forunl word madam . It is a word we often use in business . Do , if you please , excuse me—you know what sort of a olundering fellow I am , " and so on , ending with terms of affection . In 1845 the deten *
dant wrote from the Isle of Alan , in which he described the scenery ot the place and recommended her to go to Matlock for the benefit of . her health . Thelearned counsel then read a number of fetters which had passed between the plaintiff and the defendant , the last of which was dated in July , 1848 , which was very lengthy , and contained an account of his visit , and in which ho stated that he had Sten Prince Albert , that he stood near tho royal carriage , took off his hat , and had the honour of a personal move from his Royal Highness . After that visit the conduct of the defendant became cool towards the plaintiff , : md at length he married another . 2 fo amount of damages would repair the injury which the defendant had inflicted upon the plaintiff . "When the courtship began she was twenty-six ytara of age . It had continued for five years , and when she had a right to suppose she was about to settle in life , her prospects had been
biiguted , and he therefore called upon the jury to give ample damages . —His hnvship in summing up the ease left it to the jury to say whether the evidence was sufficient to warrant tbem in coming to the reasonable conclusion that a promise had been made to the plaintiff . —The jury , after consulting together a few minutes , returned a verdict for the plaintiff-Damage £ 20 . Manslaughter . —James Knott , 22 , and Frederick Jameson , 37 , were indicte < l for the manslaughter of Mark Ruld , at Brinnington . —The 'deceased and the prisoners were parties well known vo ench Other , all living in the neighbourhood of Stockport , The deceased and his brother were going along Portwood , late on Saturday evening , the 2 nd of August , when they were met by the prisoner Knott and his wife . Knott ' s wife find some peas in her hand , a few of which sho gave to Kidd . Her husband and Kidd had then some words about which
was tbe best man , and at length Knott rushed at Kidd , and th « y both fell on the ground together . Kidd appeared to have had the best of the struggle , and Knott said he had had enough . The men got up , and at this time Jameson came up , and understanding what had taken place , struck Kidd a violent blow on the face . Knott followed up the ulow by several others , which knocked Kidd head foremost into an open cellar several feet deep . As soon as he had fallen down he was followed by Knott , who continued beating him for sometime . Ihe deceased ' s brother turn went to look alter
deceased , and found him lying snoring in the cellar . It was thought he was asleep , and tho deceased was removed , but it was soon afterwards found that he was dead . A surgeon was called in , and on a post ' mortem examination being made , it was found that Kidd ' g death was caused by extravasion of blood on tbe brain , produced by his fall on the cellar floor . —Tbe Judge ( in answer to Mr . M'In tyre ) said that there was no case against Jameson , as the blow given by him to the deceased had nothing to do with the death . —Knottwas couvicted , and sentenced to eight months'
imprisonment . Charge of Perjury . —Ann Scrymegour , 32 , waa ' ndicted for wilful and corrupt perjury at Ashtonutider-Lyut ' , in the year 1847 . This was a remarkable case . Iq the spring as » izes of 1848 , a person named William Ratcliffe , was tried for attemptin g to murder the prisoner , by throwing her into a canal , on which indictment he was acquitted of the major offence and found guilty of an assault , for which he was sentenced to eighteen months' imprisonment . The conviction took place principally on the oath of Scrymegour , who swore that as she was returning from Kycroft to Ashiou-under-Lyne , along the canal , -William ltatcliile ( by whom * he waa pregnant ) , overtook her in company with a woman named Duckworth , Viith . whom RatCUft \*
lived ; that Itatelitfe struck her in the face , and then seized her by the neck and threw her into the canal ; that she became partially insensible , and scarcely knew how she got out , but that by some means or other she did manage to scramble to the canal towing path . These were the aVCrmeiltS , which were now alleged to be wilful and corrupt perjury . —To prove it , William Ratcliffe was about to be called , when Mr . lirandt objected to certain technical discrepancies between the indictment and the depositions on which the alleged perjury was founded , ilore particularly that the perjury Was alleged to have been committed upon " a certain information" then pending , whereas the depositions were not taken upon any formal " information" beyond the story of tho prisoner . —His
lordship thought the objection was a fatal one , and directed an acquittal . I . vcbndiahism . —Joseph M'Creery , 23 , was indicted for setting fire to a stack of hay at Cheadle llulkeley , the property of Robert M'Clure . The prosecutor , Mr . M'Clure , has some cotton works at Heaton . Norris , and a croft with some hay , \\\ \ % at Gheadle Bulkeley . On the 25 ch of June the prisoner was proved to have gone to the house of a person named Bradbury , about nine o ' clock at night , and borrowed some matches , and at a later period of the evening was seen to go to M'Clure's stack , and shortly alter it was discovered to be on fire . About , seven tons of luy were burnt before the fire could bo extinguished . Suspicion fell upon
the prisoner , and he was apprehended ; and he then stated to Mr Walker , inspector of the Stockport police , that he could not get his living by working at bis trade ( weaving ) , and that he wished to do something which would get him sent out of the country —The prisoner on being called upon for his defence , said that be was a power-loom weaver , and being too sickly to get his living at bis trade , he had an impression on his mind for IW 0 years , that if he couid set fire to something he should get himself sent out of the country , and he at last executed his purpose . —Verdict : Guilty . —The prisoner was then arraigned , and pleaded Guilty to a former conviction for arson , and for which he had suffered t * o j ears' imprisonment . — Sentence : Transported for fife .

The suppost-d victim is Isaac Jervis , a labourer , about thirty kix years of ago , aud th « circumstances upon which a susp icion lias been founded that his death has been produced by poison are these : —Ot the evening of Monday , the 26 tn of May , ho left his cmfr . ge at Vange , apparently in his usual state of health , to follow his oci-upation at the farm of Mr . George Hiiton , ol Corrmgham , by whom he was employed . In the course of the morning he appears to have been seized with sutiden illness , and about eleven o ' clock he returned home complaining of great pain and thirst , and was
attacked with sickness . He lay for nearly a week in excruciating agony , and died about noon on the following Saturday . The body was in due course buried . Other circumstances , which it would not be judicious to detail , connecting themselves with the nature of his illness and death , produced dark suspicions and general whispers of foul play . —Tbe body was exhumed , and an inquest held which was adjourned to enable Professor Taylor to analyse the stomach and its contents .

Charge Of Conspiracy And Cheating At Car...
COLLISION WITH AN EXCURSION TRAIN ON THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY , NEAR BRISTOL .
A railway collision octurnd on Sunday morning , to a down excursion train by the Great \ V . ; -s ern Railway . The . train was one <> f those under : aken by the Bristol Association , tor the pn . 'poro of coiivtying persons ofthe middle and working elasoes , at cheap rates , to and from the metropolis , so as to extend the advantages of the Great Exhibition of Industry . The fares being low , & o many pem > na availed themselves of it , that ou their being despatched from Paddington , on the return trip , the train was divided into two paris . The first was
despatched more than an hour before the other , and got down without mishap , and the second attained and passed Bath without anything occurring beyond a very lengthened anu blameable delay at Swindon , where'they were detained , say some of the passengers , for a very considerable period . Atlength , afier the down mail had passed , ihe ? went ou towards Briitol , passed through Bath , taking in water there , aud steamed on very slcwly so far as Fin ' s Wood just before the entrance of the No . 3 , Brislirigton tunnel , where either through the want of coke , or some mishap to tbe entine , the train broke down and came to a standstill . It most unforiunaieh
happened that there was a return engine and tender coming from Bath , and alter the train bad he u standing for about ten minutes , this engine , which was seen approaching by some of the passenger .-, ran into it from behind . Tne collision is described as having been a very violent one ; the passengers were thrown forcibly against each other , receiving blows and contusions , and were besides greatly alarmed . Among some eighteen or twenty more or less injured were several respectable tradesmen ol Bristol , but it is gratif ying to believe that there were no bones broken , and that as all the parties were able on reaching the terminus to proceed to Uwir homes no serious consequences v > ill result . Three or four of the carriages were very much broken . Tbe engine driver states that he was
coming slowly from Bath , but did not anticipate any obstruction , and that he was prevented from seeing the train till too close upon it to avoid miming into it by a dense fog arising from the river which runs alongside of the rai < . The engineer and stoker of the return engine and the policeman on that portion of the line have been given into custody , to await an investigation of the matter . On Monday an inquiry was entered into at the Lamb and Lark lun , Keynsham , before Major James and Mr . H , E . Mynors , magistrates . The engine-driver , Thomas Coltman , arid the fireman , John Wright , ofthe returu engine from Bath , were brought up in custody , and charged , under the 7 th section of the Company ' s Act , with that they , being servants of tbe Great Wvsturn Railway
Company , did , on the 10 th of August , negligently omit to stop an engine , whereby the lives andlimbs of certain persons were injured or might have been injured . 'The charge ag ; . inst the prisoners recited the facts of tbe case as they have already appeared ; the prisoners both pleaded guilty . Air . Pigeon , solicitor , of Bristol , subsequently attended , and , remarking that he had been instructed to attend on tho part ofthe prisoners , wished the case to be gone into ; this , however , the magistrates declined doing . The prisoners , in mitigation of punishment , averred that they did not see the signals till it was too late lor them to pull up , and that although tbe night was foggy there were no detonating - signals placid on the line , but they oid not see the first T * i \\ light signifying danger , which it was alleged had been
held up , and the next light they came to was a white one , which signified " go on . " The magistrates said the prisoners had very properly pleaded guilty to this charge . There was no doubt they had been guilty of ^ ro ; it negligence . The sentence wsis th » t Thomas Coltman , the engine-driver , be fined ± ' 5 , or one month ' s imprisonment with bard lauour ; and Write , the fireman , £ 3 , or twenty-one < iays with hard labour . It would appear from inquiries since made that the effects of the accident weie more serious than was at first supposed , and many complaints are made of the want of management , which was apparent throughout the journey . The delay at Swindon is Ptateti at two hours , and
it is complained that none of the omciala when applied to seemed to know anything about the matter . Mr . Thomas Gibbs , who received injuries of the head , has manifested symptoms of concussion of the brain , and the wound on his forhead has divided a lame vessel . Miss Ann Gibbs has also reueived injuries o" the head , winch hav e rendered her insons > ible . A lady named Evans has received injuries of the leg , and it is feared that one of the small bones is fractured . Mr . Wade , jun ., of Park-street , has a wound of the cheek ; a lady named MeUon has a fracture of the knee cap ; and Mr . KCwCOmbe , y , rittU : V , Mr . Sullivan , gla . su dealer , and several others , were considerably hurt .
