The Edinburgh Chartist Trials Have Been ...
The Edinburgh Chartist Trials have been appointed to take place before the High Court of Justiciary next month . One of the accused , John Grant , who generally acted as president at the meetings , has been missing for some days past , and his bail _having got some cine to his retreat , they have set off in pursuit of the fugitive . —Nonconformisf . On Thursday week a horrible accident happened at Hnddersfield , in the menageri of Messrs Hillyer and Barton , which was erected on the Bow ? ing Green . A little boy of about seven years old , the son of Mr ¦ Wa rburton , grocer ( of the same place ) , was inthe menagerie , and very foolishly offered a quantity of suts to a large and savage baboon , which immediately seized hold of his arm , and putting his fingers in his month bit three of them completely
off . The poor child struggled and shrieked , and as the keeper was running to the place with a stick the creature let the poor child go , but not before he had torn one of his eyes completely out , and had lacerated his cheek in a frightful manner . The poor little fellow was immediately carried home , and when medical assistance arrived it was fonnd necessary to amputate the fingers higher np , whieh painful operation the poor child bore with great fortitude . He is now out of danger , and itis hoped that * sith exeat care he will recover . Surely something ought to be done to prevent occurrences of this kind ; either the cages of such mischievous creatures should be placed out of reach , or else there should be cross bars in front of them . Mr Barton , one of the proprietors , immediately destroyed the animal .
CoNFDfKMSST IS IHB MUXBAXK PRIS _3 K . Cause of _Deatb . —An inquest was held by Mr . Bedford , at the Milibank prison , as to the death of "W . E . "Woolmart , a prisoner in that gaol . Mr Foster , the clerk to the governor , stated that the deceased was admitted on the 12 th of February , having been convicted at Exeter of stealing £ 6 ., and sentenced to ten years' transportation . His conduct had been good in that prison , but a special report was sent from Exeter that he and others had intended a breakingont of gaol there , by murdering the turnkeys , but their intention was frustrated . —Dr Baly , the physician to the prison , stated that he first saw
the deceased in March , when he was suffering severely from fever , but he got well . He had afterwards a « ry severe attack of English _choleri , hut that subsided . In September , very violent vomiting came on , denoting disease of the peritoneum , and he gradually sank , dying on Wednesday night . A post mortem examination had since beeu made , and the death was clearly attributed to tubercular inflammation of tbe peritoneum . No doubt the confinement aud depression of mind consequent on his imprisonment were the cause of disease and death . Probably the English cholera accelerated the disease . It shook him Tery much . —The jury returned a verdict of Natural Death .
_Atiempted Murder and Suicide . —At Lincoln , on Monday , at the usual sitting of the magistrates , Charles Hastings was charged with attempting to murder Lydia Giesbam by cutting her throat , and then endeavouring to destroy himself . The prosecutrix , it appeared , led an - _^ andoned life . She had b een on intimate terms Y . ith the prisoner ; aud , on the 5 th of this month , the prosecutrix was seen walking with another man . This enraged Hastings who struck her three f
or our times , dragged ber along the floor info the parlour , and f astened the door . Screams of murder were then heard , and , on the door being forced open , the nnhappy woman , Lydia Gresham , was seen stretched , upon the sofa with her hands over her throat , and Hastings was kneeling npon her . It was tben found that her throat was cut , and before the prisoaer could he arrested he also inflicted a severe gash in bis ' own throati Itis exceed . _jn _** ly doubiful whether the woman will now _lurrire- Tbe magistrates remanded the prisoner .

I Bmtisb _Fsatesihtt . —Yesterday Frederick White 1 and Thomas Cartwright , two soldiers of the 2 d battalion l o / Grenadier { Guards , were charged before Alderman Qihhs—the former with attempting to steal some money belonging to one of tbe National Gaards visiting tbis metropolis , and tbe latter aith assaulting and trying to rescue his companion from the custody of the police . It appeared from the evidence of Dalton , a detective officer , that he saw the prisoners ia company with two soldiers of the national Guard , walking together towards the Green Dragon pnblic-hou-e , in Fleet Street , wbich tbey _eatered and bad aame ram and shrab to the amount of
ls . 8 d . One of the National Gaards pnt down a half sovereign , which the prisoner Wklte took np andpaid for the drink , bnt oa receiving the change did not attempt to return It to the owner . The _prisoners and the two National Gaards came ont together , when tbe change was asked for (»« be , Dalton , Imagined from their gestures , ai they conld not speak English ) , bat White refused , and a great distnrbance was created , wbere . npon te went up aad said he was an officer . He _distinctly saw the change in White ' s hands , and also observed him pnt half-a crown into his coat pocket , and thrn _glvs the rest ta the right owner ; The money he found in his pocket , and it made up the balance of the h-Jf . _soMreign tendered by tbe National Guard . On bis telling White that be mnst take bim into custody , an attempt at rescue was made , daring which time he was
assaulted bath by White and Cartwright . He also fonnd in aaother pocket 3 s . Id ., which belonged to him ( White ) . —M . Louis Felix _Adolpbe Danttnllle , through an interpreter , depesed thtf he' had Jnst arrived in London by train , aad happened to meet the prisoners at the corner of Fleet Street , when they took hold of his arm , as well as tbat of his friend , aad _tbsy entered a public-bouse , when tbey _proposed to conduct tbem home . He asked them to drink , apon which tbey bad some ram and shrub , to pay for which be pat dowa 10 s . ia gold , wben White took it np , and after _recelvlog the _chaoge refused teglve it up , —Police Constable 367 said he ob . served tbe parlies the previous evening , aud _observios the soldiers to be In Mquor he spoke to Dalton , whom he met , and said be thought something wrong might ooonr . Accordingly tbey were watched , and be saw White pat something la his pocket . White resisted bis taking him into custody , and they both fell , he having his _kaeemnch cat . —Alderman Glbbs asked the prisoaers wbat they
had to say in their defence t—White replied that all the statement of tbeir meeting tbe National Guards , and being treated , and _thshalf-sorereign being pnt down , was perfectly trne ; hat he denied any intention of theft , for he gave the money back to M . DantenlUe—tke officer shook him and tbe change dropped . —Cartwright said tbat all his comrade had stated was perfectly true , — Alderman Glbbs : After hearing the evidence it appears to me that yoor conduct has beea bad ia tbe extreme . The prosecutor and bis friends were generous , and kindly treatci * yon , and in return , to say tbe least of it , yen impound their money , and when tbey demand it yon then try to cheat them ont of 3 s . 6 d . With respect to Cartwright , he has only committed an assault in endeavouring to rescue bis comrade , and therefore , withont considering what their commanding officers wonld do hereafter he should sentence White to one month ' s im * pruonxneat } and Cartwright to ( evea days , _f We take the following from the Times : —]
We are authorised to state that Private Frederick White , of the Grenaiter Gaards j who was convicted by thectvil power on the _2 S-d inst . of fraudulently appro . priating 2 s . 6 d ., the property ef one of the French National Guard , will be dismissed from her Majesty ' s _strvioe for his disgraceful conduct , on his release from the imprisonment awarded him for his offence . MANSION-HOUSE . — _PoLTatxr . — _Heary Bramell , alias Henry Edward Bramell , alias Henry Baaumont , a surgeon , waa charged with he-ring married several wemen , all of whom are alive . —A gentleman , who stated himself to be tha friend of the family of one ofthe young ladies whosa tho prisoner bad prevailed npon to marry him , produced three certificates of marriage . *? Tlie first stated that the prisoner had married Elizabeth Ttmley on the 23 th of March , 18 * 3 ; tbe second that he had
married Emily Georgians Boss , in _Caloatta , In 1847 , in the name of Henry Edward Bramell ; and in the third tbat he bad married Hannah Amelia Bland , in Liverpool , on tbe 3 Dtb of September in the present year . — -The Lord Major : Do yon know tha prisoaer t—Witness : No , bnt _hebaibeenideutlueatomyiatlsfiotion . The cue , as regards the yoang lady with whose family I have been for several yeart acquainted , Is one of peculiar atrocity . She was no more than fifteen years of age , and wbb going oat with her brothers end sisters to India , in a ship in which the _prisener waB acting aa surgeon . She is a young lady of high accomplishments , aad npon the passage the prisoner contrived to gain ber _affeottoos , and to obtain her mother ' s sanction to their anion npon the _vessel ' s arrival at Calcutta . Ha represented to the family that hit father had lately died leaving him £ 5 , 000 , and
he prodaoed letters , which were toe late found to be forgeries , oonfirmltory of tbe extent of the inheritance . By hit address , by the production of false _do-oraents so favourable to bis views , and by tbe offer to settle £ 8 , 000 oat ofthe £ 5 . 000 npon the yoang lady , he made such an impression that Tery little hesitation took place , and npon his return to this country with his wife , he abandoned her at an hotel in Liverpool . She Is now with her friends in Devonshire . —The Lord Mayor : Didbe make the mock settlement npon her ' —Witness : He actually settled the money , with all the necessary forms , npon tha poor girl . I had been watching for his arrival , and he came to tha knowledge of that fact and got away . However , through Hr Dakin the ends of justice are likely to bs answered . In the course of my inquiries I learned that he had married Hiss Timly in 1843 . He had , it
appears , gone down into the country aad set np _bostness as a professional man in tbe neighbourhood in Which the lady resided . She had a small annuity , which was forfeited when she married , and she not only was a loser in that way , bat he got bold of her clothes , furniture , aad trinkets , ana sold them , Whenhe went to India he left her In London with en authority to receive his halfpay , and then he went deliberately to work upon , his fellow-passenger ' s affections . Subsequently I fonnd that hs had married Hiss Bland , and I bave every reason to believe , from the statement of a relative of bis , that he hat left a wife and two children at Liskeard , in Cornwall . Some delay , however , most take place before we can get the parties together . The base conduct of the prisoner has , I nsed hardly say , occasioned the deepest distress . —Elisabeth Tlmley stated that she was married
lo the prisoner on the 21 th of March , 1843 . She had ao reason to think tbat she was not hiB first wife . Her friends were ia Devonshire , bnt they would com * to town npon tbe occasion . —Hannah Amelia Bland , ia extreme agitation , stated that sbe was married to the prisoner ia the parish churoh of St Paul , Liverpool , on _iheSCrih of September last . He represented to her at the _tlmt that he _wsb a single gentleman , and the lived with bim np to the period of bit apprehension en tht morning of Saturday last . —Ur DaMn aaid that the prisoner had represented to bim tbat be bad been disappointed in bit expectation of an advance of money from the captain of the vessel , and that he was ia want of £ 3 , which the witness believing to he a trne statement ,
handed to bim . It waa , however , ascertained that though the prisoner had been in treaty with the captain to go out as surgeon in the ship , the negotiation was at an end b * fore Ur DaMn was applied to for the money . — The prisoner here said tbat his agreement to go nut in the vessel was not _nalllned _entil after he had got the money from Hr Dakin , so that at all events that trans . action wat nothing more than a debt . ( A laugh . ) ' I intended to pay tbat money ( said he ) , and I do intend to pay it . Whatever may have been my conduct in other r _aspeetslhad no idea of committing fraud in that matter . ' —It was stated that the _priBsnsr was believed to have levers ! other wives . —Remanded for tome dan .
CLERKENWELL . —A . _Hsakihss _Scoonbiei ,. — _E-lward Martin , a yonng man of genUemanly appearance and _addr-ss , who was represented on the police sheet as a solicitor , residing In White Lion Court , _Wbltecross Street , St Lake ' s , was placed at the bar before Mr Tyrwhltt , charged by Mrs _EUssbeth Gregory , the wife ' of Daniel Gregory , labourer , residing n ° a » tha Water Mills , Barking , Essex , with obtaininiag money to the amonnt of £ 67 , by fraudulent means , nnder thefoUow . ing heartless circumstances : —It appeared , from tbe evidence of tht prosecutrix , that ber hutbard was em . ployed as a labourer in tbe Water Mills , near Barking , Essex , and , by their united industry and exertions , they managed to save a little money . She was a distant relation _afLidy Elizabeth Jane Hubert , deceased , and _shehaddoonments in her possession which convinced
her that she was entitled to the Golden Fleece and a large estate situate at Brentwood , Essex ; bnt the had nat means to enable her to employ a lawyer to properly investigate tbe matter for ber . In the month of April latt sha had occasion to oome to London to see her sister , who resided in Whiteohapel . Tbey went into a _publio-honse to have soma refreshment , where the prisoner and some ether men were sitting together ; and her sUter _' _aod herself were _UMsiag aboat the estate at Brentwood , which wat overhead hy the prison- * , who introduced himself as a _sollcltir _, and proffered his service to inquire into the subject , and obtain , if possible , pos session ofthe estate for her , conditionally that she would
pay the expenses . She gladly embraced the offer , and communicated tbe ciroumstances to her husband when she returned home , and they corresponded with the prisoner , who immediately commenced his * professional ' exertions ; and , from time to time , he bad obtained sums ef money , nnder pretence that be wat pursuing th * Inquiry In the Lord High CaanceUot ' s offce , Ac , _antil they parted with £ 67 , The prisoner _subteqaent to their meeting at the public-bouse in Whiteohapel , came to Barking and visited her cottage , when he pietended to be quite fascinated with her daughter , who had been Injured by him , and he alto made great promises to procure for her son a situation In tha Lord Caancel _. ior" _s offioe , gotnp a wr' 'Unagreemeat which was signed
Cildhall.—An Atsebhamo Pun .—On Monday L...
by _wttntMet , purporting that ha thonld ptrform various duties , is :, bat It was needless to say that the situation wan never obtained . The prisoner had written her letters appointing to meet her at a coff -e-shop in Hand Court ' Holborn , which he represented to be bis office- , where She had parted with money to him , Oa the llth _AugUSt lasc ahe received a letter from the prisoner to meet h ) a at a pabUc honse io Caancery Lane . She went there when tbe prisoner produced a letter of a very official ap ! pearance _, purporting to have bten signed aad sealed by the authority of the Lord High _Ckaaoellor of England _, and tbat Hr Hyde , the Lord Chancellor ' s officer was to accompany her to Brentwood In a _carrlsge asd four to take possession of the estate nnder the authority of the letter , and it was all right , He made further application to her for money , and about a fortnight ago she let
tim have 10 _« which sbe raised with difficulty , Sbe at length began to suspect , with hor husband , that all was not right , and consulted with a respectable attorney , who , on questioning the prosecutrix and making Inquiries , had no donbt that she had been swindled , and in consequence ef hit advice she applied to tbe police at tbe ttatlon . _bonse in Bagnigga Wells Road , where Moss , 195 G , an active officer , was deputed . ' to trace and _apprehead the prisoner , and at length he did truce him to be residing at Ne . 16 , White Lion Court , cohabiting with a woman , bnt heccula never find bim at home until stratagem was adopted . He had applied for more money by letter on Wednesday week , when Moss suggested that tbe prosecutrix Bhould write a letter , promising to meet him to give him fifteen shillings , feeling assured tbat be would be there to receive the money . He accordingly
made bis appearance , when he was taken to the station _, _hease . —Nomerous letters were produced , which had been written by the prisoner to the prosecutrix informing her how he was proceeding ia theoaBe and requesting money to be forwarded to him by Post Officeorder , and some of them in a peremptory and threatening tone if she did not answer his demands : She had parted with £ 14 7 s 3 d , and other sums of lesser degree to the prisoner , under the representation that he would assist bar in gaining possession of the estate at Brentwood—Most , 195 G , deposed thathe apprehended the prisoner , when he asked him ff the signature to tbe letter , purport _, log to he tke Lord Chancellor ' s , was genuine . The prisoner asked if he was obliged te answer tbat question . Wit . nets said , _< Certainly not , '—Mr Tyrwbitt cautioned the prisoner thathe wat not bound to sty anything to the charge at present . He should send the cue for trial eventually , bnt he wonld remand bim for tbe _' produotlon
of further necessary evidence . —Prisoner ; I admit receiving certain sums of money from Mrs Gregory for certaia purposes , and I made every Inquiry io reference to the objects which Mrs Gregory spoke to me about as to the property she la entitled to , ana I have examined many witnesses _relati-e to thai property , it she is dissatisfied I will return all the papers I have got , and , after remunerating me for my trouble , ' I bare no objeotion to pay the _diffaenoe , if it Is not out of the way . He had _ptid off a mortgage . She had expressed a wish to him to make a settlement and abandon all proceedings . —Moss said that tbere was a gang of such fellows praorising their imposition , and others had received money from the prosecutrix . —The prisoner applied for bail to betaken . —Mr Tyrwbitt said ha wonld accept bail , but It most bs _censlderable . There was a question whether his ease did not _apptoaah for _* _- « , ry . —The ptteoaw was then remanded , and inquiries will be made at the Lord Chancellor ' s _offies , & o .
Ths Wat thb Wo » u > Waos . —James Priddle , a halfstarved little boy , eleven years of age , was placed at the bar , before Mr _Csrabe , charged with having knocked at the door of Mr James Priddle , master tailor , of Wilson Street , Gray ' s Inn Lsne , under tbe following _clrcumstances : —Mr Priddle , Jan ., said that the prisoner was the illegitimate son of hfs father , who was lying very ill in his bed , and the boy was in the habit of calling at the _haase of witness ' s father and causing anolte and disturbance , whereby hiB father was ranch annoyed ; and On the previous night , at eight o ' clock , the prisener r . ' peated his visit , and knocked at the door , when , os being questioned , he said ht called to see his father , and he was given into custody . —Mr Combe questioned the boy , who said that he was sent by bis mother to knock at the door to ask hit father ( Mr Priddle ) for
victuals . He only went to Bee his father , and get something to eat . —Mr Combe said , tbe poor boy looked half-starved , aad Inquired whether the boy's mother was present , or anybody who knew anything about him!—A person present said , he was the illegitimate child of Mr Priddle , wbo had been adjudicated to allow the mother a sum of money f » r his maintenance , bat the mother bad married a man named Smith , a journeyman shoemaker , and they were in great distress , and they sent the poor boy to knock at the door for the purpose of obtaining money from Mr Priddle , who oc _catlonally assisted them . —Mr Combe referred to the Poor Law Aot , and said that one of its clauses rendered it imperative tbat if a man married a woman haviag legitimate or illegitimate children , he was legally bur . densd with tbe whole ef tbem , aad bound to support
them . He inquired of Mr Priddle , J an ., if his father wsa able to attend the court _f—lfr Priddle , Jan ., answered in the negative . —Mr _Cambe : Then tbe boy ' s mother and herhuBband most be sent for . —They subsequently attended , the mother having an Infant at her breast , and they appeared * o be In great distress , and the mother , who evidently wanted nourishment , cried bitterly whilst ahe was in court . —Mr Combe explained the law to them in reference to the burden of the support of tbe boy f ailing on the husband , and questioned them as to their means ot living * —Smith eaid he was willing to do his best for the boy , bat be wbb out of work . —The mother did not deny having sent the boy to Mr Priddle ' s for victuals , bat not to make any disturbance . They wera distressed , and the

I have got no bed or covering for htm until I get work .-Mr Combe tald , it would be impossible far him to _soffcr the poor boy to return to them nnder the _circumstancei . He thought Mr Priddle and themselves ought to enter into some arrangement * for the comfort of the boy .

In tbe _oonrse of conversatlen she told him that she lived in the Borough , and , at he was going in that direction , he invited ber to take a seat in a cab with him , as it was raining hard at the time .

CATTLE . Smithweid , Monday .-From those quarters whence tbe principal portions of our ballock droves are derived at this period of the year , the arrivals of beasts fresh up this _morning by'drift ' and rail way were seasonably large as to number . There was , however , a great deficiency observable in their general quality . Notwithstanding tho unfavourable _stateof the weather for slaughtering , tho primest Scots , _Devons , Herefords _, runts , & c ., commanded a steady , though by no means brisk , inquiry _. at prices fully equal to those obtained on ; Monday _last _^ The middling and inferior breeds nf beasts were daU in sale , at barely last week's price , and a total clearance was not effected .

The sheep exhibited a slight falling off , both as to number and quality . The few prime D ) ff _» s on offer commanded a steady inquiry , at full rates of currency . Half breeds and other descriptions of sheep were very slow in sale , at barely stationary prices _. However , nearly the wholo ofthe _shesp found buyers .
