The Papal Hierarchy In England. The Exci...
THE PAPAL HIERARCHY IN ENGLAND . The excitement upon this question appears to be gradually subsiding . Fever meetings are being held , and the language delivered breathes a " more rational and liberal spirit than that addressed to previous meetings . At tha Surrey County meeting , Sir Edward Sugdea delivered what may be considered his legal opinion . He appears to have discovered that although the law connives at free communication
with Rome by the Papal Church in this country , the offence of promulgating the Pope's bull within the four seas is punishable . The mischief is , that the same statute which denounces the offence is shorn of all its penal clauses—so that although the crime is punishable , law does not decl are what tho punishment shall be . Omitting the legal phraseology of the lawyer , we direct the attention of our readers to the following liberal and patriotic letter of Mr . Shannau Crawford , to Mr . Thomas Livesey , of Rochdale , for the consideration of his constituents : —
" Drab Sir , —As you acquaint me that some of my constituents wish to be informed of my views on the subject so deeply agitating the minds of the people of England , I willing comply with the desire ybn express . « It is said that the Pope , in his Late appointment of a hierarchy in England , bas assumed a pretension of supremacy over the realm , inconsistent with ihe spiritual independence of the nation . 1 freely admit that the wording of the document , which proclaimed this new establishment , is liable to the charge of assuming to ignore every other religion and religious establishment , as the mere offspring ef infidelity . So far I concur in the honest expression of indignant rebuke of the arrogant declaration
of ecclesiastical exclusiveness , which this wording conveys , and which I may say is the general character of all ecclesiastical documents emanating from the see of Rome . But if the hierarchy appointed by the Pope ' s authority , be considered as limited to the duties appertaining to the Catholic community , I know no reason why that religious body should not have bishops , If they choose that mode of church government . I know no reason why those bishops should not style themselves by the name of the district for which they are appointed to act , as the Roman Catholic bishops of that district . To deny to the Roman Catholics in England the claim to have bishops for their church , would be a violation of religious libertv , and
directly contrary to the manner of treatment adopted towards that community in all other portions of the British dominions . But it is said the Pope assumed powers beyend this . If he does so , what is the value of such assumption ? I assert that no papal power can be established over the realm of England ; no fetters can be placed on the minds of the English Protestants ; no power on earth can bind on them an ecclesiastical dominat ion , if they do not yield themselves the willing subjects of religious despotism , by departing from the true principles of religious liberty . " It is said , also , this proceeding of the Pope is an invasion of the Queen ' s supremacy , and thus loyal feelings of the people are called fourth to
declare their affectionate attachment to the rule of their sovereign . But this power , called the Queen ' s supremacy , is not truly the supremacy of the Queen . It is the power of the State , civil aud spiritual , over the religion of the people . The Queen , in ecclesiastical as well as political affairs , must be guided by her council and the enactments of her parliament . This supremacy of the State was established when all the people of England were supposed to be of one religion , and those who held power in the go-Tern—ent were compelled to declare themselves of that same religion ; but since the test laws against { he admission of Dissenters , and the penal laws against Roman Catholics , have been repealed , both the Parliament and the Council may be mixed
bodies of every religious denomination . I ask , then , can a church pretend to possess even a fragment of security for religious liberty , which is subject to be ruled by state authorities constituted as I have described ? " "Whilst I protest against any acknowledgment of the authority of the Pope over the people of these realms , unless as regards the voluntary submission of the Catholic community to his ecclesiastical rule , I protest also against a continuance of that power which tbe laws of England place in the hands of the State government over tbe doctrines and ordinances of the Church , and I call for their repeal . But it will be said ( and , I admit , truly ) , a
church supported by State funds ought to submit to State government . I cannot rebut this plea . I therefore claim the total extinction of this system . I would desire to see the Church freed from State support and State domination . I would desire to see every man in these realms in a position to give free homage to his Creator in the manner his conscience directs—subject , as regards these matters , to no power of control , civil or ecclesiastical , to which he does not voluntarily submit , and subject , to no claim to pay , in any form , for the ministry or ordinances of any . church with which he is not joined in communion .
" I should further remark that it cannot be denied that the Prayer-book and , ordinances of the Established Church retain many remnants of Popish -doctrines and Popish ceremonies . If we desire to rescue our Church from an affiliation with the Roman Catholic Church , why should not these blemishes be extracted , and the doctrines and rules of our Church made conformable to the true principles of Protestantism ? " I would say , then , to all sincere Protestants , — If you fear the aggressions of Popery , meet them by the purification of your own Church ; make pro-Tision , by your own donations , for your clergy ; abstract them from the contamination of Statepay ; and release the faith , ordinances , and patronage of your Church from all the evils and anomalies of State-rule . Let no penal or restrictive laws be
enacted against any religious denomination , but make yourselves strong on the solid rock of relig i ous liberty . Then you wiU be in the true Protestant position of taking the Scriptures as the sole rule of faith and conduct , casting aside all the dogmas of fallible mortals , and reacting all human supremacy over the consciences of men . "I hope my constituents will feel that the opinions which I have now expressed are in perfect consistency with those I declared when the electors of Rochdale first did me the honour of electing me as their representative . By these principles I have been guided in my past parliamentary course , and by the same principles I shall be ruled in treating any proposition which may be made in Parliament on the subject of the present agitation . I wil consent to no laws restrictive of what I consider
the just and equal rights of every religions community ; and I will not be a party to any attempt , if such be made , to divert the minds of the people from the united pursuit of measures of substantial utility and reform , by exciting their passions on the fanatic intolerance of religions contention . " I am , dear sir , yours faithfully , " William Sharman Crawford . " Crawfordshum , December , 14 , 1850 . "
Chr_T_As Is Thb Frozen Regions.—In 1841,...
Chr _ t _ as is thb Frozen Regions . —In 1841 , J , who am at home to write this , kept Christmasday with the South Polar expedition , consisting of the " Erebus" and " Terror , " and their crews . In 18-50 , some commemoration of Crhistmas may , perhaps , take place in the Frozen Regions—Heaven grant it ! It is not beyond hope!—and be held by tne later crews of the same ships ; for they are the ¦ very same that have so long been missing , and that are painfully connected in the public mind with Franklin ' s name . The Christmas day of 1841 was ushered in by one of those dense fogs so peculiar to tery high latitudes . The two ships , beset in the heavy pack , or vast belt of ice , drifting on the confines of the Antartic-pole , alone broke the still ,
deep solitude of the wide scene of desolation . We managed to reserve for our Christmas dinner the asaal old English fare , roast beef , with roast goose , followed by the homely never to be forgotten plum pudding . Oar ox and goose , it must be con leased , were not of English growth . They had never seen the old country , but drew their first breath on the fern-clad plateau of the Waimate , near the Bay of Islands , in New Zealand . We had brought them thence , that they might be offered up a sacrifice to Christmas on the ice-girt sea of the Antarctic Circle . After divine service had been performed , we hoped for few other signs of the day ; oat all the amusements contemplated for . the Christmas evening were reserved , not resigned . On New Year ' s Day we crossed the Antartie Circle , just 250 miles from the margin of the pack , which was drifting with us from the southward . Both ships-were made fast with ice anchors and hawsers
to a doe piece which formed a fender between them , admitting of free communication . On this piece of ice both ships ' companies were actively employed on the 1 st day of the year , making preparation for " seeing the old year ont and the new one in . " A quadrangular spue was hewn ont in the ice for a dance , having in the centre an elevated chair , carved out of the same substance . Adjacent to this crystal ball-room , another excavated square formed the refreshment-room , having a table in the midst , also out oat of a block , of ice , on which glasses , with bottles of wine arid grog , were p laced as refreshment for the dancers . This edifice of ice , all open as it was to the sky , and entered by descending a flight of steps cut in the ice , received the appellationof " Antarctic Hotel , " and bore on a signboard , fixed to a pole , the words , " Pilgrims of the Ocean . " and on the reverse " Pioneers of Science . " _ . C _ tis __ wnn _ d ) er < if EmtMd Words .

St. Alban's Election. St Alban's, Monday...
ST . ALBAN ' S ELECTION . St Alban ' s , Monday . —The nomination of the candidates for the vacant seat : in Parliament occasioned by the ' death of Mr . Raphael , the late member took place on that day . The candidates were escorted to the hustings bytheir respective friends , and at eleven o ' clock the proceedings were opened by Mr . Blegg , the town clerk , reading the writ and the other formal documents . Mr . T . Kinder proposed , and Mr . T . Bowman seconded , the nomination of Mr . Jacob Bell . Mr . J . Soarancke proposed , and Mr . J . Bennett seconded , the nomination of Mi-. Alderman and Sheriff Garden . The candidates then addressed the electors . Mr . Bell professed to be a Liberal Whig , and Alderman Garden a Liberal Tory . At the conclusion a show of hands was taken , which was declared to be in favour of Alderman Garden , and a poll was demanded on behalf of Mr . Bell .
THE POLL . The polling commenced at eight o ' clock , on Tuesday , and progressed very languidly , the greater number of the electors keeping back , apparently in expectation of some satisfactory determination of the : r doubts . When four o'clock arrived , the Mayor declared the state of the poll as follows : Bell ...- .... 276 Carden ... ... 147 Majority for Mr . Bell ... —120 The announcement was received with loud cheers by the friends of the successful candidate . Mr .
BeU stood forward to address the electors , but the uproar was so great that not a word he said could be heard , and at length he merely said that he thanked the electors for the honour they had done him in electing him their representative , and desisted from any further attempt to make a speech . Mr . Carden was received also with a good deal of noise and interruption . A vote of thanks was then proposed to the Mayor by Mr . Carden for his very impartial conduct during the election ; and that officer having returned thanks , the proceedings terminated .

The Colosseum. This Magnificent Establis...
THE COLOSSEUM . This magnificent establishment , whose varied attractions have made it for many years past one of the favourite places of resort for strangers , has recently undergone some repairs and restorations prior to its re-opening to the public for the holidays . The general character of the amusements is as before . There are the splendid conservatories , the galleries of sculpture , the ascending room , the aviary , the picturesque views and water-falls , the out-of-doors promenade , and all the minor attractions of the place , so familiar to the visitors , and which form so agreeable an addition to that grand feature of the exhibition , the stupendous panoramas . It was for the display of such pictures that
the Colosseum was originally designed and erected by Mr . Horner , whose magnificent panorama of London , the first and the greatest thing of the kind ever attempted , so long formed one of the marvels of the metropolis it represented . Then came the panorama of Paris , scarcely inferior to the first in point of interest , and as an artistic work in many respects more remarkable . The proprietors have now added another panorama ,, and there was , on Monday evening , a private view of this work , prior to its being thrown open to the public on the great annual festival of holiday-makers and London sightseers . This new panorama represents the Lake of Thun , in the Bernese-oberland , about seventeen miles from Berne . The painting covers the whole
space formerly occupied by the Panorama of London and Paris , so that there is ample field for tbe displav of the wonders of mountain , ravine , and Jake , ' in all their native grandeur . The view is taken . from a good point of view to the northward of the town of Thun . The town itself is seen beneath , with its quaint old buildings , and picturesque cottages are scattered here and there throughout the landscape . The Lake of Thun , dotted with the boats of the peasantry , and traversed by the traffic steamers , of course , forms a conspicuous object in the panorama ; and the scene is walled in , as it were , from side to side , by
magnificent mountains , towering in the distance till their undefined outlines lose themselves in the clouds and mist . The view embraces some of the objects most familiar to travellers , such as Westerhorn , Finstor Aarhoru , tho Jiingfrau , Interlachen , and so forth . The panorama is painted in " tempera , " by which theartists ( Danson and Son ) gain the advantage of having their picture as well seen by artificial as by natural light , though they lose somewhat in the vividness and contrast of colour . We have no doubt that this panorama will not only find many visitors at the Christmas season , but also prove a permanent attraction .
Polytechnic Institution. The Galleries A...
POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION . The galleries and lecture rooms of this establishment were crowded on Monday for many hours with visitors anxious to inspect the numerous models of ingenious inventions , and to hear the lectures on Chemistry and Natural Philosophy delivered by Professors Bachoffner and Pepper . The former of these gentlemen explained the nature'of voltaic electricity , and the latter lectured on fire and its antagonists . These lectures were illustrated by experiments , and were well adapted to a popular audience . A lecture , in which appropriate ballads were introduced , was given by Mr . O . Barker , entitled an " English Christmas . " The great variety
of models of railway carriages , machines used in the fabrication of various articles of commerce , and the numerous contributions of ingenious contrivances and , inventions , render this institution amongst the best of the public institutions . of the metropolis . The arrangements at this time are remarkably good ; everything is numbered and placed in its respective class , so that by reference to the catalogue the visitor can comprehend and profit by what he sees . In addition to these things , there were for the amusement of the younger branches an exhibition of dissolving views , and a _ vast number of amusing recreations connected with science . ¦ - ¦ . - - -. - ______—— _ _ . i . . . __ . _ . . j _ .
Wages Of Agbigultubal Labodbbbs. — A Cor...
Wages of Agbigultubal Labodbbbs . — A correspondent of the Bucks Chronicle says : — " A universal complaint is spread throughout the whole of this parish ( Wendover ) , arising from the oppression of the farmers in reducing the wages of farm labourers to 7 s . per week , being equally as low as they were when wheat was selling at full 6 s . per quarter lower than at the present time . The labourer then gave 4 d . for the 41 b . loaf ; now he gives did . for the same . Suppose the labourer has a wife and two children to support—and it is evident that the children can earn nothing , and when the wife has seen to the family her time is all taken up so that she has no advantage of the plait or lace market—out of the 7 s . per week we must deduct
Is . 6 d . for rent , Is . for fuel , and 6 d . for soap , thus reducing the sum to 4 s . per week , being just Is . per head for food per week , which barely supplies lilb . of bread a day , without anything to eat with it . Now , I would appeal to any farmer in the E arish . andaskifthifl is the way to improve the ibouring classes ? Or , do they think that labour can be performed properly with this pittance ? and if it could , would it not be the means of bringing universal sickness throughout the parish , and thereby raise the poor rates so high that it might embarrass the parish ? It was generally admitted , by good authority , that the low diet of the poor people brought on much sickness . In 1846 the bread was at such a high price that the poor could
not get a sufficiency to eat ; and had these prices continued much longer the number of paupers would have so much increased that the farmers would have had as much to pay for poor rates as they obtained above the average price for their wheat . Again , I would ask the farmers whether they have begun at the right place in reducing the wages of the labourer ? Many of the farmers employ only two labourers ; so that the saving is about 2 s . per week . Is not the old adage carried out here— ' The weakest go to the wall V Are there not many other sources to which the farmers might apply first with greater economy ? Would not a better system of husbandry than that which is now used increase the amount of labour—keeping more
stock , laying aside hunting and sporting , whion only tends to impoverish the country as well themselves—better remunerate the farmers ? I mast conclude with the remark , that the farmers hare come to the present conclusion without considering what they were about , and thereby began in the wrong place . " . " The editor adds—" In allusion to the reduction of wages by the farmers , we may mention that at the last county court at Hungerford , before Mr . J . B . Parry , Q . C , on the 12 th inst ., it was proved that in the adjoining parishes the wages Of labourers had been reduced to 6 s . This created considerable surprise in the court ; and in one case
the learned judge refused to mak e any order fer present payment by a farm labourer , stating that it must be impossible out of such a sum , after deducting house rent , for him to pay anything towards old debts , and made an order for the payment of St . per quarter—the first payment to commence at March next . " ¦ '• ¦ „•'„ ¦ Pbtvatb Sbcbmae * to the Prime Minister . — Mr . Arthur Russell , whose father was employed for many years in the diplomatic service , has been appointed to suceed Mr . Charles J . Grey as one of the private secretaries to . Lerd John Russell . — 'Observer , Pakadibs . —To Adam , Paradise was home ; to the good , among his descendants home is Paradise .
Threatened Strike On The London And Nort...
THREATENED STRIKE ON THE LONDON AND NORTH WESTERN RAILWAY . ¦¦¦¦ — . ( Concluded from our seventh page . ) ¦ ¦¦ . ; - ¦ . On Thursday , the following document was issued by the authorities of the Londonand North Western Railway : — - ' _ ... - " Notice , to be read to each man on the Northern Division ( Driver , Turner , or Fireman ) by the Foreman . —The directors , owing to the attitude assumed by some of the men- who have threatened to quit their service without due notice , have arranged to reduce the number of trains , and have received into their employ new hands in the place of those thus
proposing to desert their engines . This has been a matter of regret to tho directors ; but , compelled as they are to provide for the public service and safety , they cannot permit the present state of uncertainty to exist any longer . They therefore request that any man who , from any cause , desires to leave the company's service , will at once say so to his foreman , and a fourteen days notice from the company will immediately be handed to him . The directors are glad to find that so many men have agreed to stand by them , and they fully appreciate such conduct . —Hardman Earle , Chairman of the Locomotive Committee , Northern Division . —By order , Mask Huisn , General Manager . —General Manager ' s Office , Euston Station , December 26 th ,
1850 . " On Thursday night a meeting of engine drivers and firemen in the employ of the London and North Western Railway , on the southern division of that line , took place at the Railway Tavern , Hampstead Road , when the following resolution was passed : — " That this meeting knowing the desire the enginemen and firemen engaged on the London and North Western Railway have to keep on . friendly terms with their employers , and to avoid the inconvenience to the company and tbe public from sudden strikes , do recommend to their follow-workmen
throughout the line to consent to the establishment of amonth ' s notice , instead of a fortnight as before , if the directors , in accordance with their expressed intention of not interfering with the present rate of wages , will be pleased to pass a minute of the board guaranteeing tbe men now employed , or to be employed during three years from this time , from any reduction of wages , or increase in their daily labour . And that this meeting be > , adjourned to obtain tbe opinion of the men of the various districts , on this proposition . " The meeting terminated at a late hour . ¦ „ . ¦ : . -
Committal Of Mr. Sloane, The Re-Examinat...
COMMITTAL OF MR . SLOANE , The re-examination of Mr . Sloane was proceeded with on Friday , at Guildhall , before Mr . Alderman Humphrey . When Sloane arrived he was received with a shout of execration from those who were assembled outside . The officer had been unable to serve the warrant upon Mrs . Sloane . The first witness called was Eliza Ranoall , a nurse in tho Royal Free Hospita ] , who deposed to the wounds and bruises she found on the body of Jane Wilbred . Mr . T . Robinson , surgeon , gave similar evidence .
He said she was first weighed on tho 12 th of December , when she weighed only 601 bs . ( Sensation . ) On the 19 th she was weighed again , and she weighed 66 | lbs ., and on Thursday she weighed 73 $ lbs . She appears to be naturally of a healthy constitution j she had bruises on the lower part of her back , and there was a large bruise on her right arm ; in three or four places the blood had been drawn , and scars had been formed . There were marks of vermin over her person . Some of the bruises were of recent date . '
Great sensation was manifested on the appearance , and during the examination of Jans Wilbred . The principal statement she made , in addition to her former evidence was , that she had been awoke out of her sleep at night by Mr . Sloane , Mrs . Sloane , and the young lady ; they made her get up in the night time in winter to clean the stairs ( Sensation . ) I had not all my clothes on . Mrs . Sloane said she would not wait for me to put them all on . ( Sensation . ) After her examination she was removed to the magistrates' room , on reaching which she immediately fainted away , from the effects of the excitement of the scene . Mr . Robinson succeeded in restoring her without difficulty , and she was re-conveyed to the hospital in a cab . It was agreed that the former amount of bail would be sufficient ; , but in consequence of one of his sureties being in Bristol , Sloane was remanded to the Compter for a week .
After the proceedings terminated a cab was sent for , and an officer was sent down to the Compter , with instructions to the governor to have the door open and every thing prepared to afford defendant a ready reception on arriving there . The cab-door was opened , and Mr . Sloane ( who had only about three yards to go ) , accompanied by Springate , the gaoler , suddenly rushed out , and they were endeavouring to force their way into the cab , when the mob closed upon them , and had it not been for the able exertions of Mr . Superintendentt-Hodgeson , Mr . Roe , and about a dozen constables , Mr . Sloane must have been torn to pieces by the exasperated mob . One old woman was noticed in particular
making most furious lounges at him with , an immense umbrella . Such was the violence of the mob that both the plate glass windows of the vehicle were smashed to atoms , and mud , spittle , and all kinds of filth were showered upon him through both windows ; in less than two minutes he was so bespattered , that it was next to impossible to discover which was the gaoler and which Mr . Sloane . About twenty constables surrounded the cab , and the driver lashed his horse to try and escape the mob , but they impeded his way so r anch , that he was unable to proceed at any but a rapid walking pace . After being safely lodged in tho Compter the crowd loudly demanded that Mr . Sloane should be given up to them as often as any of the officers ot the police were seen .
A Father Shot By His Son Near Bristol.— ...
A Father Shot by his Son near Bristol . — A painful sensation was created at Bristol in consequence of its becoming known that Mr . Wooles , the landlord of the Blue Bowl Inn , near that city , bad been shot by his son . The police seem to think that the homicide was unintentional , the young man by whom it was committed not having been aware that the fowling-piece with which it was perpetrated was loaded . Other statements , however , represent that they had been having words about some parties who bad been invited to the house by the son , and of whom the father disapproved . The old man received tbe charge in his bowels , but lived from five o ' clock in the evening till ten at
night , during which interval he made his will and directed the disposal of his affairs . —An inquest was held on the body on Friday , when it was clearly proved that the death was accidental . Tbe particulars , as given in evidence , were to this effectthat Mr . Wooles , his wife , and son , were sitting in a small room , and the latter was in the act of toasting some bread for tea , which he happened to let burn ; his father then snatched it away from him , and threw it behind the fire , and said there should be no toast there . The mother said she would have toast , and was leaving the room to get some more bread , when the deceased struck her on the mouth . His son asked what that was for , when the father took up a stick to strike him ; he seized hold of the gun to defend
himself , and it unfortunately went off , but tbe fun was neither shouldered nor pointed , but eld loosely in the hand . It was also distinctly shown that the young man did not know it was loaded , but had every reason to believe the contrary . The piece had been loaded in the morning by another son , and placed on one side in that state . To show the good feeling existing between the deceased and his son , the former in his will , which was made after the fatal shot had been fired , has left the whole of his property to be equally di . vided between his sons . When the fatal event took place , the son sent immediately for medical aid , and evinced the most unfeigned regret and distress at the accident . The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death . "
The Collision on the Eastibm Counties Railwax . —After the night charges had been disposed of at Worship-street , on Friday , William Lloyd , an engine driver employed upon the Eastern Counties Railway , was brought before Mr . Hammill , charged with having wilfully violated certain regulations of the company , by driving his engine in such a careless and negligent manner as to occasion a serious collision with the Colchester train , whereby several of the passengers had sustained injuries , and their lives had been placed in imminent danger . The prisoner received an excellent character for steadiness and sobriety , and was liberated on his own recognizance for his future appearance . '

WANDSWORTH .-An illkG-V WARnANTi-W . Stevens , of 23 , Lansdowne-place , South . Lambeth , builder , was cbargedfrith assaulting a broker ' s man and stealing his warrant of distress , and George Thomas . Kenhirigr of 2 , Fletcher ' s-place , Wands : worth-road , builder , was also charged With ' assaulting the broker's man . —Henry Stokes , of No . 7 , Mill-pond-street , Bermondsey , stated that he was an , assistant to Mr . James Chipperfield , a broker who held a warrant from Mr . D . S . Munton to distrain on the premises of the defendant Kenning for £ 7 for rent due at Michaelmas ; he went there on Saturday morning , and the gate being opened he defendant told him
walked in . He saw Kenning , what he wanted , said he expected his master every minute , and proceeded to take an inventory of the property that was in the yard . Kenning left the premises for an hour cautioning him not to open the gate to any one in his absence , and on his return told him to make him out ^ receipt for £ 7 . The witness said he had no stamped receipt but his master would be there very soon , and would give it him . Kenning then went out , as he said , to getan officer to turn him out , but brought in the other defendant Stevens , who demanded witness to produce his authority for being there , saying that he was . an honourable and honest man . The witness said he did not know who or what he was and he
should not produce it . Kenning then asked to see it , andjhe produced it , when Stevens , snatched it out of his hands , and saying it was an illegal document put it into his pocket . ' The witness said he would give him in . charge for the robbery . They left the premises for a few . minutes , and on their return said if he could not give a stamped receipt they would bundle him out , and Kenning ' s son opened the gate whilst his father caught him by the throat and Stevens collared him by the coat , and tore it all to pieces . . A police officer was coming by who saw how he was treated , and he . told him to take Stevens into , custody , for the robbery and assault ; Kenning followed to the station , and was charged also .

They all four then went into the house , and the prisoner ' s friend gave her ( witness ) Is ., and she sent for half a pint of gin . When the gin was brought they all sat down and when seated about ten minutes she received a
Violent blow on her head , which knocked her down senseless . When she came to , she found she was covered with blood , and that she had a deep and extensive wound on the forehead . She was assisted to a place where she got the wound dressed , but she still continued to suffer the most excruciating agony from the injury . —In her cross-examination by Mr .

" The prisoner then dropped the poker and ran away , but she ( witness ) followed him closely , and gave him into custody . —In her cross-examination the witness admitted the prisoner was in liquor , but not so much so as not to be perfectly aware of what he did .

Norton regretted these persons had not been given into custody , and said that , if brought before him he should punish them to the utmost extent of the law . —The constable who secured the prisoner produced the poker with which the wound had been inflicted , and so great was the force used that it . was bent nearly to an angle . —Mr . Games described the act of his client as one of drunken , insanity , arid pressed the magistrate to deal with the case summarily . —Mr . Norton , however , remarked that it was one of much too serious a character to be lightly dealt with , and fully committed the prisoner to take his trial for the cutting and wounding with intent to do grevious bodily harm .

court , and was discharged by proclamation , in consequence of tho fees not being paid when the indictment was made out . On Saturday last tbe girl Richards , Mrs .

and took a purse from his pocket , containing £ 710 s . in gold , and two £ 5 notes , but before she could conceal it he snatched it from her hand . The two notes were safe , but £ 4 of the £ 710 s . was missing , and he therefore called a policeman , and gave her into custody . At the station she was searched , and the £ 4 , with some foreign coins which had been in the Eurse , were found upon her . —The prisoner denied aving stolen the money .
