IX BE HEWETI AXD OTHERS . Mr . Warren applied for a certiorari to remove the indictment had in this case from the Central Criminal Court . The indictment was for a conspiracy preferred against ten persons who were memiers Olf a _bein-firTsoeiety called " The Philanthropic Society of Coopers , " which existed since March , 1821 . The defendants were much surprised on finding themselves charged with conspiracy while exercising the rig hts and discharging tlie duties of a committee of that society . The application was founded upon affidavits which stated that difficult questions of law were almost certain to _.-uise , and that the parties accused required the aid of eminent Queen ' s counsel to defeud them upon the trial . It was evident bv this indictment that this was an
attempt to bring the society within the provision Ot tbe Goinbiua : ion Act , being the Oth of George IV ., chap . 129 , sect . 3 ; and the indictment itself extended to 122 folks , anl contained 29 special counts . The objects ofthe society were to relieve members of their body ** ho were out of employ ment , and to provide decent iuteruieut for them after death . The affidavits stated that a person of the name of Evans was believed to be the prosecutor ofthe said indictment , he having been , it was alleged , fined £ 10 by the eommit 4 . ee of the society while a member of the same . The rules of the society , however , made no mention ofthe word " fine . "—Rule absolute granted , the defendants to enter into sureties— £ 100 themselves , and two sureties for £ -50 each .
Parochial Rite3.—A General Meeting Of Th...
Parochial Rite 3 . —A general meeting of the working classes of the parish of Dairy , Ayrshire , _*•**__ held in the hall of the White Hart Inn , on Thursday , the 16 th _instsui , to protest against the unjust proceedings ofthe parochial board in assessing the half clad , half starved , and over wrought workmen for the support of the poor of the parish . The hall , which is capable of containing 500 persons , was welt fi ! led . On the motion of Mr . J . Dickie , Mr . Robert Moore was unanimously called to the chair . The Chairman pointed out the injustice af taxing the poor to support those who were ferther sunk in the depths of poverty than themselves ; bnt he expected nothing better from the _justiee-loving Whigs , nor indeed from any other
pari ; , until the Charter , whole and entire , became the law ofthe land . —It was moved by Mr . William Steen , and seconded by Mr . Joseph Hunter : — " That seeing that between fifty and sixty of our poor brethren are cited to appear before the sheriff of the county for non-payment of the taxes , and seeing , also , that from past experience the working man , in snch cases , is made to pay with costs , and that as great doubts exist as . to whether the act of parliament compels the poor working man to pay or not , this meeting pledges itself to raise a sum of money sufficient to take a case to the Court of Session to settle the question . "—Several persons volunteered to canvas tbe town for subscriptions to carry ont the resolution . After a vote of thanks to the Chairman , tbe meeting broke up .
The New _Maxchesieb Educatios Scheme . —Sir John Eaye Shuttleworth has addressed a letter to the Manchester Guardian , expressing his general approval of the new educational scheme , and Mr . Joseph Kay , author of " The Social Condition of England , " speaks of it in hi ghly favourable terms . In a letter to the Morning Chronicle , after giving an outline of the proposed plan , he concludes by saying : — " It will be a remarkable thing if the active merchants and manufacturers ofthe north , so overwhelmed as they necessaril y are hy their vast commercial undertakings , should have the honour of solving the education question . It will add another leaf to the laurels of Manchester . The inhabitants of that city were principally
instrumental in breaking off the shackles from tbe enormous commerce of our empire . They are now completing a stupendous work , in order to convey to the city an unlimited supply of fresh water . They have made the town one _^ _of tbe cleanest and best lighted of any of the ' empire . They have newly-completed a great free library for the poor , and they are just finishing one of the most perfect and commodious hospitals in the kingdom . I hope , Sir , that in a few months we may be able to add to all this , that they have obtained for themselves one ofthe best working schemes of public education that the world has yet seen . " Cxerica- Was vpos Repobtebs . —The Plymouth Journal has again sent its reporters to the Puseyite
Church of St . Stephen , Devonport . On the former occasion the stenographer was fairly paralyzed in his vocation by an adjuration from the pulpit—this time , he and his companions were violently compelled to desist . In order to try the legality of this interference , the verger was summoned before the magistrates for an assault . On the part of the defence , an attempt was made to show that the reporters had misconducted themselves—that one of them had looked round to count the people in the church—that they had refused to desist writing when they were called upon by the defendant to do fit ) . Several witnesses were called for the defence , nut they , though not disinteresfed parties , could not deny the defendants had sworn at and assaulted the complamants . Bnt neither had the complainants any independent evidence , so the bench cenlured the beadles , for a want of discretion ; with to the
regard reporters observed , that when they attend on such occasions , with the object of taking notes , they are _bounds act with the greatest d _* _ET ? w S thC ey _y- ? tad n _<* •* _£ sufficient to show t _^ t thecomplamants had been so guarded , they dismissed the case . _ u-i ___ , _Secessiox to the Chobch of Rous * R „ _Wf _BiddulphPhillipps , Esq ., _ofLongworth _Hoose was received into the Latin communion of St . _ w 1 _« Xavier ' s Church , Hereford , on the feast of _Eoi phany , Monday , the 6 th inst ., by the Rev .

As Infamous Case . —On Thursday Mr . H . M . Wakley held an inquest at the Goat and Compasses , Xew-road , St . Pancras , on Julia Cooper , alias Jane Lochlaw _, aged nineteen .

He had a deal of property belonging to his child , which she left in his care . She made no will , and he would not keep it , for to do so would be dishonourable , as she had a father .

The works at the Crystal Palace in Hyde Park were , dnnng a portion of tho day suspended in consequence , and the drivers of the omnibuses were obliged to use the greatest cau tion in their rate of speed , so as to prevent any accidents . The glass was down within one degree of freezing point during the day , and , although at times it cleared up for a short period , the mist soon again returned .

The house was without scarcel y a particlo of furniture , and the two children nearl y naked and starved . The body of one of them , the little girl , had sores on different places , and to show the utter
neglect with which both the children were treated , the few rags they had on them were covered with vermin— -a more distressing sight could scarcely be conceived . He made some inquiries on the spot , and ascertained that the male' prisoner was in the employ of a hop factor in the Borough , and received wages amply sufficient to support his family in comfort . He ( Mr . Endean ) also wa 9 informed that the female was an habitual drunkard , neglected her family , the children often being seen in the streets at a late hour of the night , when their parents were absent from home , fearful of entering the dwelling , owing to its being infested with rats and other disgusting vermin . —The prisoners were remanded ; and it appears that Foster contrived to commit suicide on Friday morning in the county gaol .

Clerkes Well.—The Orange Basket Question...
CLERKES WELL . —The Orange Basket Question . —Mr . Jame 3 , clerk to the Holborn . Union , and several parish officers , appeared to support proceedings instituted by their direction against a large ¦ number " of itinerant orange venders , who , it was _alleged , obstructed the streets and created a nuisance by tbeir cries . —Mr . Combe , after hearing some of the cases , in which it was merely proved that the accused had called out , "Two a penny , oranges , " and carried their baskets before them , asked what law was there to prevent parties selling their fruit in tho street ?—Mr .. James said they were in the habit of standing two or three together , and surely that was an obstruction . —Mr . Combe : Certainly
not . Placiug . their basket upon the footway must be proved against them so as to cause obstruction , but there was no law to prevent parties selling oranges in the . streets on Sunday . They might proceed , if they thought proper , under the Sunday Trading Act , which they , the officers , knew as well as he did would be very difficult . —Mr . James : They ought to walk on the carriage way . —Mr . Combe ; Ob , no ! The foot pavement is free for everybody , and there is no act of parliament to . compel people to walk on the carriage way . —An overseer ofthe parish said the calling of the oranges on Sunday was an intolerable nuisance . —Mr . Combe : They may call oranges all over the . country if they like-Overseer : lam an overseer , and the inhabitants
expect protection from me . —Mr . Combe : You are not an act of parliament ; you are an overseer . What Nuisance is it to call out "Two a penny , oranges ?"—A young man was charged with selling his fruit and assaulting a policeman . — The officer saw the . prisoner selling his fruit , but there was no evidence of any obstruction , and on the officer taking him into custody he resisted and struck him . —Mr . Combe said that the constable had no right to interfere with the prisoner . As he had said before , they had no ri ght to meddle with poor persons for selling oranges . If not in the commission of an illegal act the police bad no right to interfere with any one ; if they did so they ought to expect resistance and assault . He
should discharge tho prisoner . Suspicious . Possession . —James Douglas and Isaac AmbvosQ , labourers , were charged with being in possession of property for which they couhl not give satisfactorily account . —On tbe previous night the prisoners were seen by police constable 334 S , in Suffolk-street , Somers-town _, carrying a quantity of timber , when he asked them how they got possession of the property . They gave a very unsatisfactory account of themselves , and were taken into custody . On their way to the station-house they resisted violently , and it required the assistance of
147 S and other officers to secure them . The property wa 3 found to belong to Mr . Jay , the contractor to the Great Northern Railway , and Mr . Price , builder , of Caledonia-road , Islington . Douglas , it appeared was in the employ of Mr . Jay , and Ambrose in that of Mr . Price . —Ambrose in his defence , said that they picked the timber up in the road , and Douglas assisted in carrying it . They admitted having told the policemen falsehoods as to their possession of the property . —Douglas was recognised as having been formerl y convicted . . They were sentenced to one mouth ' s imprisonment each with hard labour .
WESTMINSTER . —Charge of Forgery at the Cbtstal Palace . —John Watson , late a time keeper at the Crystal Palace , nyde-park , was charged with committing a number of forgeries . The prisoner had been apprehended upon the charge of obtaining a quantity of clothing and tools from a Mrs . Simmonds , by producing a forged note purporting to be written by two of her lodgers named Lant , and who worked at the Great Exhibition structure , requesting them to be sent by him . —The evidence having been fully taken he was committed upon this charge—A second case was then exhibited against him for obtaining money by means of a forged order . —Mr . Jarman having stated the case on behalf of Messrs . Fox and Henderson , tbe
contractors , Mv . T . W . Hall , their chief cashier , proved that , on the 2 nd inst ., the prisoner brought an order for 143 ., purporting to be duly signed by Edward Lovel , foreman of carpenters , for tho payment of a journeyman named Holywell , and having stated that the latter was leaving the work , received the money , the forgery not being detected at the moment . The accused was remanded . On Wednesday he was again placed at the bar on a third charge . As time-keeper to Mr . Lovell _, a foreman of carpenters , it was the duty of the accused to make out two time sheets , containing the names and numbers , amount of time and wages , of each workman ono of which sheets was to be given to Lovell , and the other to the cashier ' s clerk to enter into a time-book , and from which the pay sheet was made . On the week ending the 13 th of December , prisoner inserted in the time sheet for the clerk , but not tbat ot Lovell ' s _, the name of
John Connor for SOs ., being the amount of six days ' work , which in the ordinary course of things was included in the pay-sheet list . As there was no such person as John Connor in the employment of Lovell , the prisoner picked up a young countryman , named Frankland , as tbe latter was walking through _Knightsbridge and under promise of obtaining him work at the Exhibition , took him into the building , and hy an artfully got up tale with respect to Connor ' s absence , induced him to personate him and answer to bis number , 1709 , by which means he obtained the 30 s ., and handed it to the prisoner , who gave him Is . for his trouble . To effect this fraud the prisoner possessed himself of the metal number above given , whieh must have heen placed in the box daily as a guarantee that its holder was at work upon the building . The ticlcet 1709 , with four or five others , was found in the prisoner ' s possession at the time of his capture . —The prisoner was fully committed .

Hartley ' s marble works , Earl-street , Westminster , stated tbat defendant was engaged as a workman last week at 2 s ; per day . On Saturday evening his wages , calculated at that rate , were offered to him , when he demanded to be paid at the rate of 2 s . 6 d . a day . Witness asked him to speak to Mr . Hartley , but he refused , saying he would be paid what he demanded or smash the windows—not then , to be locked up ail day on Sunday—hut on Monday morning . On that day he again appeared , and then demanded 3 s . a' day . This demand not being complied witb , he deliberately walked up the vard .
and wilfully pulled over a number of marble slabs that were placed against a fence , threw them to the ground , by which some of them were broken ; and the actual damage , even if the fragments were worked up to the best advantage , amounted to £ 2 . —Defendant said his general wages as a marble polisher were 3 s . a day , and coolly said " I only smashed just as much as the balance of my wages was worth . "—Mr . Broderip observed that if he had any claim against his employer the law was open to him , and if in the right he would have recovered the amount of his claim , Instead of which ho choose to commit the mischief , for which he must either pay the amount of the damage , £ 2 , or be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for a month . —He
was committed in default . BOW-STREET . — Gross Outrage and Attempted Robbery . —Patrick Bryan , Anne Sullivan , and Anne Wild , were charged with committing a violent assault on G . Hardy , waiter at the White Horse , Long-acre . —Prosecutor stated that on Sunday night , just as the house was closing , the pri soners , with half-a-dozen others , came in and called for a pot of porter . It was served to them , the landlord requesting them to leave as soon as convenient , on account of the lateness ofthe hour . The party asked to be obliged with more , promising not to remain two minutes . Whilst the party were standing the landlord missed a pot , which deponent saw the male prisoner attempt to secret .
Perceiving that he was watched , Bryan went into tho parlour and got rid of the article hy placing-it under the table . He then commenced abusing the waiter , and , seizing him b y the hair of bis head , dragged him into the street , while his companions beat him . Sullivan and Wild kicked prosecutor , while he was held on the ground hy the male prisoner , and in the fray prosecutor ' s new hat was stolen . —Mr . Hall fined Bryau £ 2 , and the female prisoners 30 s . each . Bryan ' s fine was immediately paid : the two girls were commi tted to prison .

Campbell and Witty , 21 , Essex-street , Strand .-Mr . H . Campbell stated that some time
ago the plate in question was placed in his care by a Mr . Lovell , its owner , and witness for security requested of his brother that it might he deposited in the strong room of Campbell and Witty . It had so remained since March , 1850 . A policeman called upon him a few days ago with information which induced him to go down to _Essex-street and inspect the plate . He found the box in which the articles had been left ; a tape and seal originally placed on the lock had been removed , and the lock itself had been strained . He missed from the box two tea spoons , one pair of sugar tongs , eleven dessert forks , nine dessert _spooBS , all of silver , one diamond pin , and another of opal . He had retained
exclusive possession of the key . —Brown , a detective officer , said he apprehended the prisoner on Saturday night last , informing her of the charge as above stated .

from any charge .

Witness : When we left Hull it was dark , and there is always confusion on board at the time of the departure of a vessel arising from the sudden separation of friends and acquaintances . Tbe two prisoners wero not observed until we were on our way on that account ; but as for the _shabbiness of their appearance , several persons who are much more shabby pay their fare and land in London in a
comparatively tattered condition . —The Lord Mayor . * I would advise you to take back every person who is unahlo or unwilling to pay , When that rule is known , you will have no adventurer of this kind . The Witness : I wish I were permitted to take these two persons back , but I fear as I placed them in the hands of the police I cannot do anything of that kind . —The Lord Mayor I shall relievo you from . that embarrassment by sending them to prison for twenty-one days in default of tlieir payment ofthe faro , bu you must look to all your future passengers . We shall require all the co-operation you can render us hence forward , as tho visits to London from all parts will soon be almost innumerable .
