The two daughters of Mrs Gro m , and two other _witnesses , corroborated her statement . Tbc constable , 159 1 , denied Jhat Mrs Groom had men . tioned anything about the prisoner having attempted to snatch away tbe chain , _whon sho first wished him to

      tako him into custody , and that all sbe complained of was , that of I cing abused herself , and her dauehtcr being _assaulted . A disinterested witness swore , a « positively that he had heard Mrs Groom tell tbe witness about tbe attempted robbery ; and sergeant Goff deposed to the prisoner beim : the associate of _notorious thieves , that be had himself lurried him out of Vauxbnll Gardens for being a suspected character , and that lie had been before in custody on charges of _ft-lcny . Mr Games addressed the bench at some length , and _pcinte-i out somo discrepancy between Mrs Groom , and brr _daughters . Mr Elliott Baid he wns perfectly satisfied of tbe prisoner ' s intention to commit a felony , and sentenced him to three months' imprisonment and hard labour .

Tbe police came up —the two defendants nnd a sergeant—and two of tbe

      constablea commenced shoving Mrs Perryan about . Witness told the constable she was his wife , wbo was merely trying to persuade some of tbe lo- _'gers to go in quietly . As soyn as witness had spoken to tho constable , the other constable , E U 9 , called out , ' We will shove yim about presently , * Kennedy , E 151 , thrust his hand into witness ' s _neckcloth , and twisted it , so as nearly to _etrtiugle him . He told tbe _constable he would gO quietly with him if he kad any charge to make . He walked on a short distsneo , and hi 9 bcn .

Witness afterwards heard his wife scream , and hoard the mob cry ' Shame ! ' Other witnesses corroborated this evidence ,

There was a drunken woman in the court , who was pursuaded to go into tho house , nnd immediately afterwards thc two _defendants and their sergeant came down the court .

      used . It appeared to him that tbe disturbance and « ab . sequent outrage had arisen Irom tbe unnecessary inter * ference of tbe police . s Had the police gone away after tbey bad causedjthe'drunken wemantogo into htr house tbe probability is , that no disturbance wonld have _oeT curred . The police had no business to order the com . plainant * peremptorily to go into tbeir house , and an . _altercation naturally occurred in consequence of the complainants requiring to know why they were to be pushed and ordered about . The subsequent violence ot tbe mob appeared to him to have been caused by the conduct of tbe police themselves . There was ne pretext fer the interference of the police ; but , even had the Perryan * been in tbe wrong , they wtre housekeepers , and known to the police , and tbey , instead of dragging tbem at night throug h the streets to the _statiou-house could have come to tbi ? court and have _obtained a sum . _mons _ag-ainsfc them .

      _SNAPPING OP THE ROPE W TUE _SHAFfS OF

      COAL PITS . TO THK EDITOR OF TIIE NORTHBRN STAR . Sib , —In your _notiiw to _correspondents of the Star of the llth of September , I reii 1 a letter wherein your _correspondent asks ' whether yon or any of your correspondents have discovered a plan , or invented a machine , whereby the lives of miners may b'j saved in cases where the rope breaks , when ascending or descending tt _. e shaft ?' If the question has not been answered I beg to propose what has often _appeared desirable , when I have readofpersoos being drowned in tlio locks of our several canals , 1 _would advise that the locks in question should bave a linim * of itonwork , resembling the tiling of a net ( the trauimel . net , I think , is tbo kind intended , but mon fishermen well-know tho kin . " I mean , ) and then the persons gutting into the water might clasp hold of tho said lining or lattice-work , and so climb to terra firma , making even _boj's play of it

      Equally _s : i might the miners , upon tho snapping of the rope , easily take hold of the _net-work in an ; - ' _swgo of their passage , whether upwards or downwards , and so climb or pass to their destination , whether one way or tbe other . C * st iron is not an _expensive article , but whether wrought iron be _i . ot most _proper f _« r such a purpose remains to be eonsidtred bv the parties carrying the plan into operation , Tbe desirability of _giving the tie . t-work a good coating of paint will also occur to the minds of thu said parties . I may atd tbat this _contemplated iron work should also be laid round the entrance ofthe shaft , a sufficient distance , to affun ! the otherwise _unfortunate parties en opportunity of _effi ; CtiHg a safe landing . I remain , sir , Yours , in the bonds of philanthropy , John Batlet .

      Letter ii . Sib , —Since my letter of the 29 e 1 i ult . I have reflected thatthe ' circular ladder ' cr lining of the shaft being of iron might-be attended with _ill-convinienee on account of its weight , therefore , 1 have supposed that its being of hempen fabrication , similar to tbo ladders used on ship board might answer the purpose . The upright lines , of course , must be strong , r than the cordage or roping of which the . slaves might consist , which may te ot the _uiuzl distance from each otdcr , st ' _tniVar to the ladders in general use , from whicb provision I cannot but conclude that no miner , exercising ordinary caution , need fall a sacrifice upon tho emergenci-s in question . I have not an exact copy ofthe above-mentioned letter b . _r me , therefore , 1 am not uware whether I have mention-id the distance which the said ladder ought to be placed from the sides of tbe shaft . 1 may be permitted , _therefore , to remark , that four or five inches may _nfford sufficient security for the free exercise ofthe hand .

      There lit xt remains to be considered the time which a ladder if such material may be supposed to endure so as to bs safely reliid on ; after which , to be replaced by another . Yours , in the bonds of philanthropy , John Bahet . Wybanbury , Cheshire , Oct . 4 th .

T THE _NtiETHEBN STAB , Sir , — _. _Pt-rmit me , through the medium nf vour widelycirculated newspaper , to express my unfeigned pleasure at Mr O'Connor announcing his intention to visit Ireland . Confidently hoping that he may ? _uc-eed in disperslng from the breasts of bis countrymen genciali y , thc prejudice which a misrepresentation of his conduct bas created . When I contemplate the trials which tbat _extraordinary character has _undergone since his return as Member of Parliament for tbe county of Cork , the _isjury

      and loss of property he ha 9 sustained , the abuse end calumny which , wiih more than ordinary patience , joined with manly fortitude , he has borne , the repronshful epithets with which his enewi _?* bave saluted him , thereby intending to wound his reputation , the vast duties Wbicb under most unfavourable and tr ying _cirenwstnoces , ho has faithfully and indefiligably laboured to discharge , his banishment ( if I may so exprcs ? mrself ) from the land of bis birth—I cannot sufficiently express my admiration of his noble conduct ; to say mure ( if I b » it knew what to say inptaiftofbts meritorious deeds ) would not be extravagance .

      That Mr O'Connor is truly tbe man fer the people , is incmitestible . Would that I could greet him with a ' Ctad _mi-le faille' on his landing on the Irish shora—nor would I covet a more _honourable office than to precede him , not only to the nearest town , but throughout his sojourn in Ireland , joyfully singing ' Hurrah lor Bme _Fvargus and Shelah ne Guira , ' bearing a banner with tho following or timilar words inscribed thereon ¦ Welcome , O'Connor , to Fatherland .

      ITALY AND POLAND . TO THE EDITOR OF THE _NOHTDERN STAR . Dear SiR _, _ -The _Imperial acts of cruelly at present being perpetrated upon tbe unfortunate Poles , and tbe determination ef the Austrian de . 'pot to subjugate Italy , ought to have tho deepest consideration of every honest and contemplating _Englishman , The attempts of Ihe Au _? triau despotism to the different _countries is nothing new . That state is the same which sought to obliterate the Swiss people from the face of _theii native country in tke 13 : h _ccninry ; but the Swiss found in the noble William Tell , a leader fitttd to lead thtm to freedom .

      The Poles , who bave long been trampled upon by the _flagitluus Autocrat of Russia , cannot much longer be kept iu subjection .

      The Law Of Orflu P.-P-Tuted Lodging S.—T...

      The Law of _Orflu p _.-p-tuted Lodging s . _—Thomtwx v . Austin . —This was an action _brought before i _° J _* Io _- , lan ' E _*^ to _"c _.-ver one week ' s rent of thei defendant , lor the use and occupation of furnished apartments . The defendant pleaded that , ia consequence of the beds and other articles offurni * ture being infesie < * with extremely troublesome occupants , he did not havo _« quiet , ' possession ; and tbat the apartments being uninhabitable , he was justified ii * quitting without notice , and was no _fouler ciiareab . e with the rent . Iu support of the plea , Miss Austin and Sai ah Wilkin ? , the servant , were examined , and proved that theapar ' ments were actually besieged by vermin , who uot only made their appearance at night , but even in the day time . Thecame

      y in such multitudes that no sleep could be obtained ; and it frequently happened that when Miss Austin appeared in the _breakfast-room , numbers of noxious insects were taken from her clothes . The _plaiutiS was to ! d of the nuisance , nnd the bedstead was taken down ami cleaned , but in a few _davs the unpleasant population reappeared , and the defendant left wit " D * out giving any notice . The plaintiff denied that the bedstead and furniture was ever in the state described . He had frequently slept on the bed , and had never been raole = ted , and thc late Lord-Lieutenant ol Ireland iuid also s _' . eptiti it , and had never complained . The learned judge said that might be ; the _iDsects might have had gome respect for a

      Lord-Lieutenant , and had abstained from molesting bim . ( _Laughter . ) The learned judj _/ _esnid the plea was good , nnd having bscn established by evidence he must hold it to be a good answer to tho action . The law was clearly laid down in the case of' Smith v . MataV .- } , * where the court held that the plea was good , and that tbe defendant was justified in leaving his lurriishcd apartments at Brighton , on account of a similar nuisance _remlerinj- the lodgings uninhabitable . It mii ; ht be possible that the plaintiff and the late Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland had not been molested ; bat upon the evidence of Miss Austin , corroborated as it was by the servant , ho had no other alternative than to dismiss the case .
