_katioi-nal land conference ( Concluded from i ! ie First page . ) 3 D * . _Sauxders moved , " That all members , whether paid np or not , shall pay the sum of three halfpence per week , per share , until all the members are located , unless the member has paid the cost of li's allotment , then he shall be exempt from his weehly subscription . That members be allowed the privilege of purchasing up dissatisfied members * shares ; those only are lona fide members who have complied with the Birmingham Conference ; the purchaser to be exempt from the weekly subscriptions except his own shares . The amount of shares , or part of shares purchased , to
be placed to the credit of the purchaser in the redemption fund . " The delegates from _Newcastle , Ashton , and other places , thought the ballot would restore confidence . Mr . M'Ghath felt the question ofthe dissatisfied members to be the most important one ; he thought that when Mr . O ' Connor took legal advice , they would be able to get rid of the great mass of them ; the other method was to pnrchase np the shares of the remainder ; no difficulty should be thrown in the way ; of their doing this he believed that they should not call npon any member to pay the levy for more than four shares ; working men could not afford to do so ; they should also be careful to what interest they applied the shares so secured , he thought they should be app lied to the redemption
fond ; this -would be an excellent method of the shareholders * becoming proprietors of the land of the company . Mr . O ' Coxsoa showed that it would entirel y etop the reproductive principle of the Company ; the persons purchasing these shares would become proprietors in fee , and thus , to the extent they purchased , binder the selling or mortgaginj- ; ofthe estates . He was confident that they must legalise flie company with the ballot , bethought that cold "water seemed to be thrown upon the efforts to restore confidence in the members ; there was yet 4200 , 000 to be paid by the members , and he believed the restoration of the ballot would cause a great amount of tiiat sum to be paid .
Mr . Clabk supported the -views of Mr . M'Grath . Mr . O'Connor , ne thought , did not clearly understand the sentiments expressed by him ; all the members were part proprietors , and Mr . M'Grath ¦ wished to reduce their amount ; for the good members to be allowed to swallow up the bad . If the company was legalised to-morrow , they would have 70 , 000 to locate , but if they allowed the 20 , 000 good members to purchase up the shares of the 50 , 000 , on terms advantageous to themselves , they would still have the same amount of capital in hand , but have only 20 , 000 , instead of 70 , 000 to _locafA ¦ Mr . " _O'Cositok explained , and likewise Mr .
M'Gbath . Mr . WheeIiBB showed the fallacy of their passing resolutions calluig upon the members to pay extra levies upon their shares , he was confident tbey would never pay them ; the plan laid down by Mr . Saunders for purchasing shares , might be carried ont ; but , as explained by Mr . Clark , no sane man would ever act upon it . Mr . Wilson expressed similar opinions . It would be impossible for them to obtain extra levies from tiie members . He agreed with the plan of the ballot , as propounded by Mr . Monday ; it would give some inducement to members to take extra shares , or purchase np those of the dissatisfied members , as it would give them extra chances in the ballot . Mr . _T ) owLn * G thought the ballot would restore -confidence , even more so than legalisation .
* Messrs . O'Coxxon , EnwABnsJ and _TWrEELEK , showed that Mr . Monday ' s plan was the self-same as that now actually in operation ; if a person bought twelve paid-up shares ihey all went into the ballot-box , and he stood his chance on them all . - Mr . Saunders would so qualify his motion that a person purchasing shares should not be allowed to purchase more than one four-acre allotment hi foe * any overplus he might purchase should stand to his -credit until the winding up of the company . - Mr . Mobgaxbelieved the Merthyr people would be quite satisfied with the institution ofthe ballot . The Conference then went out of committee . Mr . Smith moved , " That after the report of the Auditing Committee the Conference adjourn its -sittings until after the decision of the llegistrar-General . " ( _1-Pithdrawn . ) Mr . Poleett moved , " That when the company -came to be legalised the price of the shares should
be doubled . " ( Withdrawn . ) Mr . "Hahding thought that whatever the Confe-Tence might dothe result ofthe legalisation mightentirely . frustrate them , and they would onlj be wasting time to pass these resolutions , he therefore moved , and Mr . M'IiEllaxd seconded , " That this Conference deem ii wise thai any alterations in reference to the purchase of shares , or adding additional -subscriptions , be deferred until the company be legalised . " Mr . "Wheeler agreed with Mr . Harding ' s motion . He thought thc ballot might induce members to pay up , and when tbey had paid up would be time sufficient to tax their shares . If he- thought that any sum would be carried , he should propose as an amendment , " That on a ballot taking place each paid-up shareholder shall pay threepence per share , on every share , prior to his being entitled to have -bis name placed in the ballot-box . " _^ He , however , _irnsted thai Mr . Harding's motion would be carried .
Themotion of Mr . _Hardins was carried by a _considerable majority . Messrs , "Wheeler and Gilbert wished the Conference to decide npon the question of granting leases to the occupants . Mr . O'CoxxoRstatedthatahalf-year ' srentwould be demanded in _November , bnt any person prepared to pay it now shonld have his lease immediately granted him ; the dead half-year was always allowed , so tbat if a year ' s rent was due at May it was not paid until November . If leases were now granted they "wonld be a receipt for all back rent , It -was therefore impossible that leases could be granted until the arrears were paid up : immediately they were ready with rent , he was ready with leases . Mi * . Wheeler was confident that to pass tbe subject off in so hurried a manner would not give
satisfaction . The Conference shonld come to a vote upon tne subject . The rent had never been fixed , and it was understood tbat a year ' s Tent was to be given to the allottees on account ofthe bad seaions . Mr . Gilbert trusted that something definite would be _arrangedrelative to their rents ; he requested an explanation relative to a mortgage of ± 5 , 000 npon Minster _XoveL "Mr . O'Cossor explained that the property was food security for the mortgage , and it wonld never e an injury tothe allottees at that estate . After further discussion npon that subject the morning sitting concluded . [ During the sitting Mr . O'Connor announced that the Hungarians had defeated the combined Austrians and Russians , -which was received with tremendous applause . ]
Afternoon Sitting . The Chairman took hia seat at the appointed time . After _vrMeh the toll was called , when twelve members were reported absent . The Finance Committee " brought up their report , ' which having been read , Mr . Skevixctos asked several questions , which Mrl O'Coxxon answered . Mr . Edwards said that as one of the Pinance Committee he could not allow the report to pass without expressing his approbation of the excellent manner in which the accounts have been kept . He never saw books kept in a more perfect manner . - The report was niovea by Mr . Saunders , seconded by Mr . Bostock , and agreed to -unanimously : —
"The Finance Committee , after a most careful examination , of the accounts of the _National Land Company , and also the Touchers connected with the whip , beg most Tespeetnilly to lay the following statement before the members of this Conference , viz ., that they find the available property inthe bands of the Directors of the company amounts to the _~ sum ' of - £ 17 , 183 , from which must be deducted £ 4 , 607 dne to Mr . O' Connor . "The committee have great pleasure in stating that the accounts have been kept in the most business-like manner , and brought down to Saturday , August 4 th , 1849 , which have been audited b y "William Henry Grey , Esq ., one ofthe government . accountants .

expense to which lie had been put in going to tliat town for electioneering purposes . He went to Sheffield at the solicitation ofthe Sheffield people themselves . He had only to observe that he had "one to Sheffield to contest the borough , and should necessity require it , he would do so again . Elections did not often occur , and , therefore , rather than give up the right to serve the cause of the people in the way of contesting elections , he would forego tho situation which he at present held .
Mr . Skevixgton asked some questions in reference to the expense for the last quarter . Mr . _M'GRAtn explained that the great proportion of the expenses were general , and the expense of the Directory ; and as something had been said about the Directors , he , for his part , had been On the Directory , and he considered he had g iven work worth the wages he had received ; and , further , if his situation depended upon his giving up his advocacy of the " People ' s Charter , " be would not hold that situation another moment .
Mr . Bostock said his instructions were to move or support a resolution for the reduction of the Board of Directors to three , including Mr . O'Connor . Mr . Bagshaw moved , and Mr . Oliver seconded —• - ' That the Directors shall not be members ofthe Chartist Executive . " -After a few words , the resolution was put from the chair , and negatived almost unanimously . Mr . Suttox said the time was . come when , he thought , men should speak their mind . as freely in that room as they did outside that door . Charges were made , however men mig ht think proper to be silent now .
Mr . _Edw-abds moved : — " Thai eighteen members be appointed , to be divided into committees of three each . The following gentlemen were appointed ; — Messrs . Sutton , Munday , Halliwell , Morgan , "Wheeler , Taylor , Council , Saunders , Yates , Dowling , Irvine , Bagshaw , Smith , Oliver , Skevington , C . Clarke , Bostock , and Sweet . The case of Mrs . "Watson was brought before the Conference by Mr . Clarke , when the decision of the Directors was confirmed . . The CnAiRMAX brought forward the case of Mr . G . Wheeler .
Mr . Halliwell moved , and Mr . Muxdat seconded : — "That compensation be given to Mr . G . "Wheeler , but that the Directors be empowered to give what they think he is justly entitled to , " Agreed to . The Conference then adjourned until the following morning , at nine o ' clock . [ The conclusion of the report will appear in our next . ]
The Miners Of The North. To Tiie Editor ...
THE MINERS OF THE NORTH . TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE _XOBTHERN STAB . Sib , —The miners of Northumberland and Durham have got into the spirit of union again . All the attempts of the masters to reduce the miners have signally failed , they ( the miners ) having resisted such attempts in a brave and uniform manner , thereby affording another proof that " union is strength . " At the delegate meeting held on Saturday last , at the " Greyhound' * Inn , Durham , there was an accession of numbers , two or three large collieries having joined— -viz ., Haswell , Shincliff , and Heough Hall , making an
additional increase of nearl y 500 members . The chief question for debate was the utilit y of restriction of labour—or , as some parties more justly term it , "theregulation of work . " To understand this question aright , it will he'necessary to state , that in the absence of union among the miners the employers make every effort to get great quantities of coal to bank in as short a time as possible : for instance , a p it may he working five days per week , the hewers getting three shillings and sixpence per day ; the master makes some addition to the machinery and other arrangements ofthe mine ,
and is therehy enabled to draw to hank so many coals as to allow the hewer to earn 4 s . 6 d . per day . This arrangement , however , is only of seeming advantage to the hewers , inasmuch as the pits only work four days per week , instead offive , as before ; thus , the five days' work , at 3 s . 6 d . per day , will g ive hut 17 s . 6 d ., and the four days' work w 21 make 18 s ., an apparent advantage of 6 d ; but the drawbrack is , that these hewers have boys at work who are paid b y the day—some Is . 6 d ., and others ls . per day , and if only two hoys at the above wages—the pit being idle
one day per week— -gives a loss to the individual hewer of 2 s . per week . Besides , it invariably happens that the hewer must stay longer at work for the increased pay , and he is thereby compelled to work harder , and necessarily requires more sustenance , and which , with extra labour being done in a shorter time , tells fearfull y upon the constitution . All these things considered , the miners no sooner get together in union than they evince a desire to alter this state of things , and the general cry is , " Restriction . " It only requires a little reflection , to ascertain the true cause of such
general desire . The fact is ,, the physical energies of the workmen are exhausted , and it ia hut the ciy of nature urging with , all her might for ease , an abatement of the severity ofthe toil . This question then is become of vital importance , and thc delegates present were unanimous that restriction was necessary ; the point of debate being to what scale to fix the earnings per day , so as to meet the general wish ofthe workman , and not by fixing it so low as to g ive the master cause for complaints ;
in fact , they wish to hit upon the medium state , and thereby he enabled to move on more uniformly for the future . It was ultimatel y agreed that no collier exceed 4 s . per day , and that each delegate endeavour to ascertain the exact state of the colliery , whether any great quantities of coal are laid by , and how many unemployed men they have ; so that at an earl y date they may fix ( if necessary ) , the amount tobe earned lower than 4 s . ; the object beingto have all the unemployed at work , and to have not less than five days per week .
The subject of ventilation was also referred to , when it was resolved : — " That a letter be sent to Sh * _G-. Grey , signed h y all the delegates , pleading the necessity of appointing some of the miners as inspectors of mines , seeing that between this and the meeting of parhament many valuable lives may be sacrificed , which a due inspection would prevent . " The necessity for a general meeting upon Shadow ' s Hill was then discussed , and ended with a resolution to refer the same to the
colliers , and their opinion to be brought to the next delegate meeting . That district general meetings should be held was next agreed to . The Wear to meet at Sherhurn Hill , on Saturday next , at one o ' clock , p . m . ; the Tyneto meet at the Avenue Head , on the ; same day at five o ' clock , p . m . Having agreed to have a permanent secretary ,- " and-received thejreports ofthe agents , the meeting was adjourned to Saturday , the 18 th inst ., to he held at the house of Mr . T . Hutchinson , Masons'Arms , Monkwearmouth , and to commence business at nine o ' clock in the forenoon precisel y , and to continue its sittings until the business is gone through . M . Jude Chairman . Monday , August 6 th , 1849 .
The Potato Chop.—The Dry Weather Of May ...
The Potato Chop . —The dry weather of May and June and the first half of July has apparently saved the potato crop . At least , there are no serious indications of disease up to the present time . Here and there potatoes have been attacked , but the cases have proved local both in Great Britain and Ireland . That we are not yet safe is , however , to be gathered from a report by the Inspector of the Highland Belief Board , dated Loehalsh , in Bossshire , July 25 th , 1849 . This intelligent officer states that it has broken out in the village whence his letter is dated , and that it made its appearance there a month ago , on the spot where he'first detected it in 1847 and 1848 . We have reason to believe that in the district here alluded to the bad effects of a safe potato harvest are already observable . The peasantry are losing their industry , and _trusting to the root of idleness , while others , who had prepared to emigrate , have changed their minds . —Gardener _' s Chronicle .
The only -British sovereigns that "have visited Ireland , in peace or war , were Henry II , John , Richard IT ., James II ., "William * III ., and George _IY ., in August , 1821 . Her Majesty is the first British Queen that has visited the country . The total cost of the enrolled pensioners from 1844 to 1848-9 was - £ 105 , 084 ; the total number of pensioners enrolled 53 , 875 ; namely , 30 , 981 ' in Great Britain , andJ 21 , 394 in Ireland . _Extraordixakv Fecundiit . — A' single female house-fly , in such a season as this , is calculated to produce 20 , 080 , 320 eggs .

Aristocratic ' Morality Asd Practices. J...
ARISTOCRATIC ' MORALITY asd PRACTICES . JURLBOBOUGH . STItEET . - _ The avenues of the court were thronged on Monday , in consequence of it having transpired that the lady known as Lola Montes , " Countess of Landsfelt , had been apprehended on a charge of bi gamy , and was to be examined by Mr . _BiNonAM , the sitting magistrate . Arrangements were promptly made to prevent the court from being inconvenientl y crowded , and to afford facilities to the various witnesses . Mr . Clarkson appeared for the prosecution , and Mr . Bodkin for the Countess of Landsfelt . About half-past one o ' clock the Countess of Landsfelt , leaning on the arm of Mr Heald . her
present husband , came mto court , and was accommodated with a seat in front of the bar . Mr . Heald also was allowed to have a chair beside her The lady appeared to be quite unembarrassed , and smiled several times as she made remarks to her husband . She was stated to be twenty-four years of age on the police sheet , but has the look of a woman at least thirty .- She was dressed in black silk , with close-fitting black velvet jacket , a " plain white straw bonnet trimmed with blue , and a blue veil . In _^ figiire she is rather plump , and of middle height , of pale dark complexion , the lower partof the features symmetrical the part not so
, npper good , owing to rather prominent cheek-bones , but set oft b y a pair of unusuall y large blue eve . * with long black lashes . Her reputed husband , Mr . Heald , is a tall young man , uf juvenile figure and aspect , with straight hair , and small light brown downy mustachios and whiskers . The nose being turned up gives him an air of great simplicity . During the whole of the proceedings , he sat with the Countess ' s hand clasped in both his own , occasionally giving it a fervent squeeze , and at particular parts ofthe evidence whispering to her with the fondest air , and pressing her hand to his lips with juvenile warmth .
Mr . _Clakkso _*** said—Sir , however painful the circumstances under which the hdy who sits at my left ( Mr . Heald ' s aunt ) is placed , she has felt it to be & duty she owes to her deceased brother ( the father ofthe young gentleman now in court ) to lay before you the evidence of this young gentleman ' s marriage with the lady at the bar , and also ether evidence which has led her to impute the offence of bigamy to that lady . In the discharge of my duty I shall atthe commencement of the proceedings have to prove to you that young _Mi \ llcald , the son of the late well-known Mr . George Ileald , ofthe Chancery bar , has gone through the ceremony of marriage with the lady by his side , Eliza Rose Anna , or Rosanna James . I shall further prove to you that
tne lady is the wife of Thomas James , now captain ofthe 21 st Regiment of Bengal Native Foot , who is at this time with his regiment in India . The offence imputed to the lady at the bar by Miss Heald , the aunt , and for some time the guardian of the estate ofthe young gentleman , is , that knowing that her husband ( Captain James ) was alive , or that every reasonable , ground existed for believing that he was alive , she has contracted marriage with this young gentleman , a circumstance which , if established ; will render her , as well as others , amenable to the legal results . I will not here enter into particulars unnecessarily painful to any party , but in discharge ot my duty to Miss Heald I have no discretion but to state these facts . Miss Heald's nr-nhew _«» nf
age on the 21 st of last January . He is now supposed to be the husband of Mrs . James , respecting whom I desire to say nothing except in reference to this case . She calls herself the Countess of Lands- ' felt , and , whatever may be her distinction or notoriety , I shall refrain from making any allusion to it on such an occasion . This young gentleman has considerable property in his possession , - £ 6 , 000 or £ 7 , 000 a year , and on the 19 th of July last ho contracted marriage with Mrs . James , who was already married . The first marriage with Mr . James took place in July , 1837 . Mr . James was then a Lieutenant in the regiment of whieh he is how Captain , and to which he haa always belonged . He was married in Ireland , and I have here a codv of the
certificate of the clergyman who married ' him at Moath , in Ireland . From this certificate it appears that on the 23 d of July , 1837 , Thomas James , of the East India Company ' s Service , a Lieutenant of the 21 st Regiment , was married to Rose Anna Gilbert , spinster . From the absence of parties at present I am not yet prepared to establish the legal fact of tbis marriage ; but I have here an officer of the Consistory Court of the Bishop of London , who will produce a copy of proceedings in that court , and I shall only refer to them to show that the lady at the bar , then the wife of Lieutenant James , went to India with him and returned to England without him . I shall produce Captain Ingram , who brought the lady over here , and who will prove the identity of the party . Thathoweveris not a
, , point about which I presume there will be any difficulty , forthe lady herself when apprehended admitted she had been the wife of Captain James , but that Lord Brougham had got an act of Parlia ment to divorce her from Captain James . If such an act of Parliament is in existence no one knows better how to avail himself of it than my learned friend who appears for the defence . I shall prove that the Ecclesiastical Court only granted a divorce a mensa et thoro I shall next show that the second marriage was contracted . I shall call the clerk of St . George ' s , Hanover-square , who will prove the identity ofthe parties . In addition to this , I have to Bhow from the East India department a record of the effective state of the Indian army to the end of
last June ; and from that I shall be able to prove beyond all doubt that Captain James , the husband of the lady at the bar , was then alive in India . This is the substance ofthe evidence I shall produce before you on this occasion . I am bound further to state that this proceeding is , on the part of the aunt , Miss Heald , without the consent of Mr . Heald , her nephew , who no doubt would , if he could , prevent these proceedings from being carried on . Miss Heald has felt it to be her duty to the family of the young gentleman , who are hi ghly respectable , to take these proceedings , even without his consent ; and no one , I think , will venture to impugn the motives or the purity of the intentions of Miss Heald in taking this step . My application
to the Court is for thc lady at the bar to bo remanded until such time as we can get the proper witnesses from India to come forward . For this purpose I shall proceed to prove that when * the lad y married this young gentleman , on the 19 th of July , her husband , Captain James , was alive in India . Miss Heald , an aged lady , was called . She said —My name is Susanna Heald , of Headington-grove , Horncastle , Lincolnshire . I am unmarried , and am sister tothe late Mr . George Hoald , Chancery barrister . That young gentleman is my nephew , and son of my late brother . He has a commission in the army . I was appointed as his guardian by the Court of Chancery . He became of age in January last . I have felt it to be my duty to prosecute this inquiry .
Thomas Howard Montague , clerk in the Consistory Court , produced the record ofthe proceedings in the suit of "James v . James . " The decree ofthe Court was a divorce from bed and board . Witness had a copy of the sentence . The Countess of Lane-spelt with an impatient gesture said , " I don ' t deny it . " Mr . Clarkson read the decree of separation , which was dated the 15 th of December , 1842 . It decreed that Thomas James and Eliza Rose Anna James be separated ; but that neither party have power to contract another marriage during lifetime .
Frederick Datsvehs , clerk in tho East India House , produced a copy of the return of the effective state of the army in India made up to the 13 th of June last . At the period of that return Captain James was alive and in India with his regiment . Ciiables Poweix , parish clerk of St . * George ' s , Hanover-square , produced the register of marriages contracted between George Trafford Heald and Maria Tores de Lands-felt . Wasnotr present during the ceremony , but saw the parties now in court sign their names in the register . They were married by licence by the curate , the Rev . A . Alston . : ¦ , Miss Heald said the handwriting in the register was the handwriting of her nephew . . Police Sergeant Gbay . —I am a police _sergeant in
the detective force . I took the Countess into custody this morning about nine o ' clock , at So 27 Halfmoon-street . The Countess was in the passage , -just about to get into her carriage . I told her she must consider herself in my custod y on a charge of bigamy , she having intermarried with Mr . Heald , her former hushand , Captain James , being- alive . The Countess replied she had been divorced from Captain James by act of Parliament . The Countess said , - «• I don't know whether Captain James is alive or noti and I don't care . I was married in a wrom » name , and it was not a . legal marriage ; what wifi the King say ? Lord Brougham was present when a a divorce was granted , and Captain Osborne can prove it . " . Inspector Wiiall confirmed the _police-sergeant ' s statement . ' - °
Mr . Clabkson intimated that this was all the evidence he should bring forward that day , with the exception of Captain Ingram , who brought the lady from India . Captain Charles Ingram , — Commanded the Larkins , East India trader . Had brought Mrs . James from India . Had no doubt the lady in court was thc same person , though , since that time , she had altered considerably . Had seen Captain James when he brought his wife on . board . This was in the year 1841 or 1842 , witness did not know which , but could easily refer to his books . This being thc evidence for the present , Mr . Clarkson intimated that he should leave the case in the hands of the Court .
Mr . _Bopkin appeared on behalf of the lady , who had been dragged that morning to a station-house to answer a charge which , in all his professional experience , was perfectly unparalleled . He never recollected a caso of bi gamy in which neither the first
Aristocratic ' Morality Asd Practices. J...
husband n or the second husband came forward in tho character ofa complaining party . Tne matter would , however , undergo investigation , and if anything had been done-any lung illegal , those who had done the illegality would be held responsible for their conduct . As far as thc proof had gone he was _willin- _** to admit enoug h had been laid before the Courtto justify further inquiry . At a proper time , however , ie should bc prepared to show that the marriage with Mr . Heald was a lawfulact . It would seem that the lady had been married when about 15 or 16 years old , and that a divorce had taken place . iW want of sufficient time it was mnos _& _loto ascertain whether the assertion made o the officers was true or not . It was eviden tha ladv had a strong impression that a divorce bil had beobtained in the House of Lords . This ,
howen ev m g It be a _mistake , into whiehthe lady would be likel _/ tofall from her not being acquainted with our laws . Enough had been stated to show that even had the imputed offence been committed , it had been committed under circumstances which certainly appeared to iustify the act . He adverted to this circumstance for the purpose of asking the Court to allow the lady to leave the court after putting in unquestionable bail , to appear to meet the inquiry nt a day to be agreed upon . It was in the highest degree'improbable that a charge of this sort would bc attempted to be evaded by the parties most interested in the inquiry , and he hoped , therefore , his request would be acceded to . He would not attempt to cast any reflections on the motives
of those who had brought forward the case , but it must be clear that a private , and not a public object , orig inated the present proceedings . Mr . BiNonAM , after a short consultation with Mr . Hardwick , said — It is observable in the present case that the person most immediately interested a ) person of full age and holding a commission in her Majesty ' s service ) is not the person to institute or countenance the prosecution . It is quite compatible with the evidence now produced that the accused may have received bythe same mail from India a letter a few hours later than the official return communicating tho death of Captain James by cholera or other casualty . The law presumes she is innocent till the usual proof of guilt has been brought forward . Here that proof is wanting , and the magistrate is requested to act on a presumption
of guilt . I feel great reluctance in doing so , even tothe extent ofa remand , without an assurance on the part of the prosecutor that the evidence necessary to insure a conviction willcertainly be producible on a future occasion . No such assurance can be given in this case , because between the 13 th of June and the last marriage , a period of near six weeks , Capt James may have been snatched from life by any of those numerous casualties with which life is beset in a military profession and a tropical climate . However , upon the express admission by the advocate , that in his judgment sufficient ground has been laid for further inquiry , and upon his offer to find security , I shall venture ' to order a remand , and to liberate the prisoner , upon finding two sureties in - £ 500 each , and herself in £ 1 , 000 , for her re-appearance here on a future day . Bail was immediately tendered and accepted .
The Countess Of Landsfelt and her husband were allowed to remain some time in court in order to elude the gaze of the . crowd which had assembled before the court . . . _WESTMINSTER . Mr . Richard James Webb , of Brompton , described as a money-lender and horsedealer , appeared to a summons charging him with horsewhipping and otherwise assaulting Mr . Thomas Holden Alleyne , formerly a captain in the army . — Mr . Clarkson , who attended on the part ofthe comp lainant , having stated the circumstances of the case dwelt upon the indignity inflicted upon his client by the peculiar nature of the assault , and observed , from the position in society in which the defendant—whom , he described as a horse-dealermoved _, he had adopted the only course that
presented itself , by bringing the offender to that court . Be then adverted to an offensive letter written by his client to the defendant , which gave rise to tlie assault , deeply regretting that ne should have written it , although it could not be held as any jus . tification of the assault , but observed that his client had been betrayed by the transaction into the strong expression of his feelings . —The assault complained of was freely admitted by Mr . Lane , solicitor to the defendant , who observed , that although the offensive letter was certainly not in law a justification , yet it certainly was as great a provocation and palliation as could possibly be set up . —Mr . Burrell having conceived , from the course taken , that it was the wish of the complainant that he should exercise
summary jurisdiction , fined the defendant £ 5 , observing that it was the sort of case he should haye felt it his duty to have sent to tho sessions . —Mr . Alleyne having stated that it was his wish that tho matter should be sent before a jury the magistrate proceeded to take the evidence . Mi * . Alleyne , of 94 , Ehuvy-street , Pimlico , on being sworn , said , that on the second day of Ascot races he was at Slough with Sir John Malcolm and Captain Darcey , and while there the latter borrowed * 100 of him . On the settling day after the races Captain Darcey came to Tattersall ' s and handed complainant his cheque on Cox and Co . for £ 300 , requesting him to take the £ 100 and give him change , which he did , the cheque being cashed by Captain Price . The
latter gentleman shortly afterwards wrote to him informing him that the cheque had been dishonoured , and demanding repayment of the £ 300 , which he ( complainant ) immediately forwarded a cheque for . Captain Darcey made an apology , . and said it was not his fault , but that of a Mr . Webb , who ought to have paid the amount in . Upon complainant applying to Captain Darcey , he handed him another cheque for ± . 300 , in lieu of the first . This was about the 20 th of June , and upon comp lainant paying it into his bankers , they presented it , and it was also dishonoured . Complainant saw Sir John Malcolm and Captain Darcey about ifc , and they declared it was Webb's ( the defendant ' s ) fault , as he had promised to pay the money . Subsequently
complainant received three letters from defendant upon the subject of his cheque being dishonoured . —[ The letters were put in and read : the first contained promises to pay if it were again sent to the bankers , and requested that no blame should be attached to anybody else ; but in the subsequent ones it was alleged that another party should have paid , the money in to meet it , and that defendant had desired his bankers not to pay it unless the amount expected was so paid ; and then again there was a promise to pay it in a few days , if time was given . ] Complainant went on to state _ that at an interview with defendant ho again promised to pay , but the cheque remained dishonoured to this time . Ifc having been
frequently presented , complainant wrote a letter to defendant . This letter , which was also put in and read , was couched in very offensive terms , and accused the defendant of very dishonourable conduct in respect of the cheque for £ 300 . Complainant said his . reason for writing such a letter was , as stated , the innumerable times tho defendant had broken his promises , and his slippery behaviour and misrepresentations . On the 4 th of July complainant was riding on horseback between Belgravcstreet and _Belgrave-square , when Sir John Malcolm and defendant drove up in a phaeton . , and Webb said , "What do you mean by sending me that letter ? " Complainant replied , he meant exactly what was in the letter , and he richly deserved it ;
upon which defendant jumped out of the phaeton , and made an attack upon him with a stick , at the same time trying to pull him off his horse . Complainant drew the stick out of his hand , and defendant then ran back to the phaeton , took the carriagewhip out of Sir John Malcolm ' s hand , and attacked him again , flipping the horse on the ear , and striking at- him , but not coming within reach of the stick , using all the time , as on first addressing him , disgusting language . The horse got frightened , reared , plunged , and at last turned round and galloped away . The phaeton was driven on and he then followed , when they stopped , and defendant said , " You mean to strike me , do you ? " Complainant replied "Kb ; I have come to ask you what ; you mean by your cowardly behaviour ? " Defendant _theh took the whip out of Sir John ' s hand and thrust it in his face , using disgusting language .
Complainant then defended himself as well as he could , and struck him with the stick . The horse again took fright , and defendant several times struck complainant and the horse with the whip . Complainant , who had no stick or whip in his hand when first attacked , then threw defendant ' s stick at his head and rode away . —The complainant then stated that he had been informed by Sir John Malcolm that the sum of £ 300 ( the amount of these cheques ) was included in a bond of £ 3 , 000 or £ 4 , 000 held by Mr . Webb , whioh Sir John Malcom assigned as a reason for not paying the cheque . —Mr . Webb denied this in the most positive manner , and his solicitor declared that he had been a suffering party in the transaction . Mr . Webb having admitted the assault , but denied the disgusting language , he was ordered to find bail to answer the charge at the sessions . Bail was shortly put in .
MARYLEBONE . —A Heartless Wretch . —John Tidd was placed at the bar before Mr . Broughton , charged with , having , under circumstances ofa most heartless nature , robbed a young woman , named Martha Staker , of a considerable sum of money and other property . Mr . Wontner attended for the prosecution , and Mr . Grange for the prisoner . A great deal of evidence was gone into , and it appeared that in May last , 'the prisoner , who is known by several aliases _^ first became acquainted with prosecutrix , at which period sho was _livinir in
the service oi a lamil y in Cadogan-place ; she subsequently quitted her situation , and advertised for a place as plain cook , with directions that all applicants were to address letters in answer to be left at Mr . Shirley s , Exeter-street , Sloanc-strcet _, Chelsea The prisoner , who had used every endeavour to find her out , at length succeeded in doing so , and it turned out that his suspicion with regard to her being the advertiser was correct ; he , by dint of manoeuvring , found access to hor , and gave her to understand that he knew ofa cook ' s situation which

would bo just the thing for her , but that ifc would not be vacant for a few weeks . Ho prevailed upon her to go into lodgings with him , where they lived as man and wife , and under a promise of marriage to her he plundered her of £ 43 , and a quantity of wearing apparel , which , as it turned out , he had pawned . The day for the wedding had been fixed , and the bans had been put up by him at St . Mary s , Lambeth . He had also purchased the ring . He at length absented himself altogether from the prosecutrix , from whom , as alleged , he had forcibly taken possession of a portion of the money above alluded to , and he left behind hinv some duplicates for her apparel which he had pawned . Information of the robbery was communicated to the police , and . . .. _,.
the prisoner was taken into custody by bergeant Dalton and _Police-constable Culling , of the D division , who met with him in Milman-street , Russcllsquaro . The prisoner was committed for trial . BOW-STREET . — Alleged Rape . — William Gregory , a young solicitor , residing with his father at 5 , Upper-Montagu-street , Russell-square , was placed at the bar before Mr . Henry , charged with a rape upon Mary Johanna Neary , a housemaid in the service of the family . —Mr . Humphreys attended for the defendant . — The prosecutrix said she was twenty-six years of age ( she looked much older ) , and had lived in the service of the defendant ' s father about three months . On Sunday morning last , during divine service , and while the family were afc
church , she was at her work in the bedroom adjoining the defendant ' s , when young Mr . Gregory came into the room with nothing but his dressing-gown upon him , and asked if thoy were gone to church . She rep lied that she did not know . He then approached her , and , after a stout resistance , effected his purpose , in spite of her efforts to prevent him . — The prosecutrix was cross-examined at great length by the defendant ' s solicitor , to whom she admitted that he had been in the habit of kissing her and taking indecent liberties with her repeatedly , for six weeks past . She had uever mentioned it to her mistress , thinking that he mi g ht desist , and not liking to lose her situation . On the Sunday morning in Question the parlourmaid and a boy were in
ihe house afc the time -they did not come to her assistance . He had often kissed the parlourmaid also , but thev did not think anything of kissing . She entreate d him not to cause her ruin , but he only replied that she had been ruined before , which she solemnly denied . She did not remember if the door of the room was shut . She believed it was ajar , or partly closed . —By Mr . Henry : It did not occur to her that she could have defended herself better by keeping the slop-pail in her hands than by putting it down . Her object was to hare the use of her hands . —Mr . Henry , without hearing the remaining evidence , declined to commit the defendant on the charge of rape , after the admissions made by the girl herself . —The defendant was thereupon discharged .
CLERKENWELL . —Sisters' Quarrels . —A dissipated lookin g woman , named Martha Mackford , who conducted herself in a violent manner when placed at tho bar , was charged by her sister with having threatened her life . —Tne prisoner / who conducted herself like a maniac , used the most dreadful threats towards her sister , and exclaimed , " Give me my shawl , give me my bonnet ; " and she was so _extravagantly violent that it required two constables to hold her down at the bar whilst the case was proceeded with . —The sister ' s statement went to prove that on the previous night the prisoner called upon hor in a very quiet mood , when they sat down
together , had supper , and made themselves cozy over some whisky and water , when all on a , sudden the prisoner went into a passion , raved and swore at her shockingly , and threatened to have her life , and would have done her some mischief had it not been for the arrival of the police . The witness said that the prisoner assumed madness . —Mr . Combe : Are you in danger of your life from her threats?—Witness ; I am , your worship . —Mr . Combe * . Then she must find bail to keep the peace . —The prisoner struggled violently , threatened to " do for her sister when she had an opportunit y , and after great difficulty the officers locked her up .
