Elin Russell deposed that in 1846 she was engaged u housemaid to the mother of the prisoner , and knew the prisoner , who was then Mia Todhnnter . She afterwards went info the service of a gentleman earned S w > n . On the day before the pti soner was married to the baton , she called at her mistress s house in a cab , and wished her to go with her , as she said , to make soms money . Wit&ess
could not get leave to go out on that day . and it was arranged that she should csBist at the wedding on the following day . She went accordingly to the house of the c » uates 3 , in Thayer Street , and assisted in preparing the wedding breakfast , and in the afternoon , between three and four o ' clock , the prisoner » Ta her two rings wrapped in silver paper , and told her to go and pawn them at Mr Bojoe s , in usson Grove , and to get £ 10 for them , and she was to bring a £ 5 note and five sovereigns , and the prisoner gave her money to pay for the cab and the ticket , so u not to break into the £ 10 , as she wanted to send * the note abroad . She accordingly went to the pawnbroker's , and pledged them as she had been directed , and broughtthe money back to the prisoner , who tore
op the duplicate , and pat the £ 5 note i nto a letter , and eave her 10 J . to pay the foreign postage upon it The same afternoon the witness said she paid a milliner ' s bin for the prisoner , amounting to £ 3 . 17 * ., with , at she supposed , ; tha money ib t aiaed by pledging the rings . Before she left the house on this day she remembered some gentlemen coming to the house , and hearing a confusion up stain , and shortly afterwards the prisoner came to her and told her to pot on her thing ! and ' rath ' borne , m it was late . Witness called the attention of the prisoner to the disturbance that had taken place , and the prisoner said tbere had been a little * fuu / or something of that kind . The witness went on to explain that after having been in another
situation , she agaia went into the semoe ef the prisoner ' s mother in June , 1847 , andtheprisonerandher husband used to visit them . In Angustthe prisocer toHher that her husband had been scolding her about a . £ 10 note , and ehe at the same time told her for God ' s sakenot to say anythingabont therings that she gave her , or the two silver spoons that she had given her to pledge . The prisoner had given her two silver spaons to pledge , in the previous October , at Mr BojcsV . The witneu added , that she was discharged by the prisoner ' s mother five weeks ago en account of an unpleasant affair that occurred , but of which she was entirely ianooent . Some persons got into the home , and ltolawme of the ttinkete , and the offiwra were sent for , and witneu was suspected , but
after a few dajs the countess said there was nothing against her , and she might go , and she paid her her wages . After she had been discharged , inoonsaqoeac 3 of a communication she had with a gentleman named Harding , she went to Mr Bdjob ' s , and afterwards informed a polioeraanof what she knew regarding the pawning of the ring * . - Cross-examined : She first left the countess ' s service in November , 1846 , and thea went to her mother ' s , at Boss , in Herefordshire . The witness was then , questioned at to whether she was not delivered of a child , and she swore positively that she had not , but declined to state whether she had miscarried or aot . She said that the baroness asked permission for her to go to the countess ' s bouse on the day of
the mamage , and she at onee told her that she wanted her to make a little money for her . She first tnada this statement to the solicitor a few days ago . Would swear that the couateas left the house an early as three o clock on the 1 st of Msy . She was not aware thatshe was teleave town by the half-past five o ' clock train , but was sure that she left at three o ' clock . She could not say whether the convention atanttha ring took place in the back dining room or the bedroom . There was no dinner on this day , and they had nothing after the wedding breakfast . Mr and Mrs Pennington stated in the house all night , but she would swear that they did not dine , and that » he did not wait upon them , It was between the breakfast and the time of departure that the bareness told her t > pawn the rings , and she said Bhe « m to giv « the name of Mary Anne Turner 15
, , Gloucester Place , and she pawned therings in that name . She said she was sure the did not pawn the rings oo tuaFriiJay , and that she naver saw them till Saturday , the 1 st of May , the day of which the prisoner wifl married . She did not pay particular attention to what wai written on the duplicate , but she gave it to the prisoner the moment she returned , but she couM net say whether she was in the beiroom or the back dining room at the time . The witness wat then asfeed whether this was not the first time she had mada this statement , and she made no answer . Shewusureihegot homesoearlyas halfpast ten o ' efeck at night , and her mistress dueharged her , became she was not home by half-past four . Gould not recollect having mentioned to any one what the baroness had said about there having been a little fugr inthe&onra .
The witsess was then pressed by Mr Cockbnm to state where the alleged conversations took place between her and the prisoner , bat she would not state positively , merely sayiog it was either in the bedroom or the back dining worn . Mr Cxkimrn insisted upon an answer being gives and he asked the witness whether she declined to name any particular place or time , < br fear he should call some fee to-eocendict her f She made no reply . The witness was then asked whet she had fint made stme bfthe-etatementsto whfeii she had de . ppwd . aad ska admitted that thu wu the first occasion of her having done so , and that she did not say a wow respecting them when she was examined before tha magistrate .

A juror here wished , to aik Sir Johnwhether , be * forebe left Bath , he said any thing to any member of his family respecting his loo ? - Sir John replied that he did not . because he thought it wauld only be necessary to ask f « them to get them back , ' The juror ; Did yon make no complaint at any police-station when the baron threatened to turn yea out of his house , on your making the charges . Sir John : I did not make any complaint . This wu the case far the pioseeution . Mr Cockbnra then made a most eloquent aid foroibleaddressto the jury onbehalf of the acoused lady . He certainly should not think himself justified in ridiculing any man who might be deemed worthy of receiving the honour of knighthood at the hands of
his Sovereign , but he did think that every one might be excused for laughing at an old gentleman like the prosecutor , who , forgetful of his years , took upon himself to fellow yonng ladies about , dance with them at different boarding houses , write love sonnets , and place poetry upon their plates , and other ridiculou s proceedings , whioh might be excusable in a boy , bnt which were totally inconsistent with the position of the prosecutor and his advanced period of life . He then adverted to the manner in whioh the prosecutor hsd given his evidence , and said , thstalthoagh he could hardly get one single straightferward answer from him , it was dear that after the marriage he had acted in a most unmanly manner towards the prisoner and her husband and mother , and that he had most grossly insulted them upon several occasions . With regard to Sir John ' s own statement relating to the original transaction , he submitted
that It was hardly credible . He talked of the value of these rings , and the care he took of . them , and yet after they were left in the possession of the prisoner on the night when he first showed them to her , he pretended that he had entirely forgotten them , although with regard to the repair of the Baron ' s own ring , he did not forget to ask tor the immense sum of sixpence whioh he had expended for it . With regard to the evidence of the witness Ra'sell , he submitted that it was an entire fabrication , and that , after what she . had admitted , no jury would be justified in placing any reliance upon snch a person . The learned oounsel having intimated that a number of witnesses were in attendance , but that he did not consider it necessary to call thea , concluded a very able defence by expressing a confident opinion that the jury would dismisi the aocrused lady from the court , and restore her to that position in society to which she- was entitled .
A good deal of applause followed the conclusion of the learned counsel ' s speech , and it was sometime before it could be repressed . Mr Justice CoHman , in summing np , said , that a material question for the jury to consider in this case , in the fint instance , was , whether , supposing they believed the eridence of the witness Russell as to the pawning of the rings , they wen satisfied that these rings were the same sb were stolen irom the prosecutor ; and the next question was , whether the prisoner took the rings with the intention to steal them . It wu certainly very singular that the prosecutor should not have said a word abtut the rings from the Monday to the Friday ; and he could just as well have taken proceedings then , if he had been eo minded , as bow , bnt he had not thought fit to do so : and it was very important to recollect
that the prisoner had told the same story from first ti last , and had alwajtrepresented , and had done so that day by her counsel , that the rings were returned . The learned judge then proceeded to observe that the conduot of Sir John towards the prisoner and her Butter tu certainly not creditable to him , or what would have been expected from a person in his station ; but thejary would consider whether this disentitled him to credit . His lordihip then referred to the other circumstances in the cue , observing that the evidence given by the witness Russell was certainly most suspicions ; and it wu for them to consider how far they ought to allow it to go in the light of confirmation of the prosecutor ' s story . They wonld lcokat allthecircumstancea of the case , and say , by their verdict , whether they cansidered the charge had been made ont to their satisfaction or not .
The jury immediately returned a verdict of net guilty ; and the accused lady left the court accompanied by her husband aid friends . The trial occupied more tflan nine hours .

THE LONDON STONEMASONS . THS qtntBH V . OBIT ASS 01 HEB 8 . This case , it will be remembered , is an indictment against a number of stonemasons for a conspiracy to intimidate and orevent workmen from entering the service of Mr Trego , the builder , and which stood over irom last Monday , in the expectation that some arrangement wonld be effected between the parties , wu called on . ^ A number of the defendants having surrendered , Mr Bodkin said his lordihip wonld remember that upon thelut occasion he made an application to postpone the trial on acoonnt of the absence of a material witness for the prosecution . Upen that eoruion , his lordship had'thrown out a suggestion that the case might be settled in an amicable manner , and he had communicated to the prcsecutoi what wu stated by his lordship , and also that the learned counsel for the defendants had repudiated all proceedings that in any way tended to intimidation or-violence , and at the same time ezprested t
knowledge on their part of the illegality of such pro * ceedings . Under these circumstances , he should be content , on the part of the prosecutioB , if the defendants were to enter into their own recognisance to appear and take their trial if called upon to do so , the understanding being that if no further illegal proceedings took place no such notice would be given . He had , therefore , great satisfaction in being able to relieve the Court from an inquiry of a very unpleasant character , and he trusted that the effect of the present proceeding would ba to restore that good feeling between the employer and the employed which was so essential for their mutual advantage . Mr Clarkson , who appeared for some of the defendants , said that no more than justice had been done them when it was stated that they repudiated any intention of intimidating by violence any of Mr Trego ' a men ; and none of the defendants ! u be was instructed ) ever contemplated such a proceeding .
Mr Ballantine , who likewise wu instructed for the defence , expressed his satisfaction at the termination of the proceedings ; and alse uid , that he thought the course adopted by his learned friend Mr Bodkin , u oounsel for the prosaoation , wu calculated to have a very good effect , and to strengthen the bond of union between persons in the position of the defend * ants and their enployers . Mr Parry , who appeared for the remainder of the defendants , likewise expressed his gratification at the result of the proceeding . '
The Recorder having observed that he hoped the effect wonld be t » restore a kind feeling between the masters and the workmen , then called upon the defendants who were called upon to enter into their re > cognisance to appear as suggested , when , to the aito . nishment of every one in court , their own counsel not excepted , they refused to do so ; and one or two of them , in a very excited manner , insisted upen being Mr Parry said he wished he had known thisbsfore . He was iratruotsd by their attorney , Mr H . B . Roberts , that they were quite content with the proposed arrangement , and he bad no idea that they wonld have objected to do what was required of them . The Recerder remarked that their attorney , who was aot actuated by passion or ill-feeling , had given thea the proper advice .
MrBallantinesaidhe should not alter the course he had taken , whioh wu adopted with the direct sanction of the defendants' attorney . If they now chose to take a different proceeding he should retire altogether from the matter and return his brief . The course proposed by the conuelfbr the proseontion he considered very proper , and one which the defendants ought readily to agree to , and if they refused , he weald have nothing more to do with the cue : The defendants still refused to enter into the required recognisances , although it wu evident !*
merely a matter of form , and tended to no result hkelytobeinjunoiisto them , provided no fresh offeneewiseomnuttsd ; and some of the party insisted on bang tried . ' Mr Bodkin said , that , acting upon the ftith of the arraagement made with the defendants' counsel he of course , bad ne witnesses in attendance ; and under th « emsamstances he should apply to the Court to order the defendant ! to enter into freshrecj gniiances with sureties , of the same amount u those open which they bad now surrendered , to appear and take their trial at the next seisioni . -
The Recorder , after some further drsorusion , uid he should enlarge the recognisances of the proieontor , but should nuke no order with regard to the defendants . He regretted exceedingly to see that they hri not acceded to the offer that wu made , and thai they ( the defendant *) had yielded to the ulioita&a of two or three of their body who appeared de-• iroas to keep up ao angry feeling , aud refused to enter teto their personal recognisance to appear if called spon . They most net consider this u any triumph , for upon a certificate of the existence of the fadiotmertt against them , they would all be liable to be taken ato custody npon , a bench warrant , and woild have te find fresh sail , whioh , after what had
take * place that day they night find some difficulty iaoHaiaing * . - Mr Bodkin tjSA that , on the part of tha prosecution , lie wat quifr eoatent with the coarse proposed by his lordship . The Recorder uft ne should expect him to be prepared to proceed with the prosecution at the next seswm in any ease where a defendant insisted open beinetried .

Daring the latter period of bis ( errioe , howeier , the ( Ute of his health became se
precarious that he was compelled to make annual visits to the French coast in the summer months , accompanied by the applicant and two orphan notces , who were entirely dependent on blm' for suppor t and protcott . on , nd it was daring the lait of tkeae' eopurns that " he expired , leaving her and his nieces wholly unprovided for . Having , previously to this bereavment , received honourable attentions from a French gentleman , named Herbert , holding an'appointment In the fieckyard at Cherbourg , she accepted his overtures and married blm ; but her husband , upon the revolution breaking ont shortly after , was deprived of his office , and although he had since made repeated applications to bo reinstated , or for a pension in compensation of his t «« nt ; - > ls years' service , he bad beenuniucoessful , in oonseqaenoe of the unsettled state of tbe government , In ¦ procuring
either , and was now at Cherbourg- In as destitute a condition as hernlf . -After enduring much privation in that country the determined on coming to tbli , in the hopeof joining one other cousins , who had come over some time previously , and proourtag emp loyment as a gorerness or dressmaker , for both whioh capacities she was perfectly competent , haying received an excellent French education ; bnt on reaching londoa she ^ found that her cooaia , Bmma Jones , -had fallen into the datobei of agangofswiadlers and had been committed for trial from this court , together with her mistress and another , for obtaining a large quantity of goods under false fretenees from a linen draper in the City Road . The mistress was convioted and is bow undergoing a sentence of twelve months ' imprisonment ; bit it being evident tbe young woman was entirely innocent , she was at onoo discharged by tbe court and handtd orer to the care of the applicant . All their effort * to obtain employ , raent of any description had been wholly fruitless , and as both were now In a state of extreme destitution , with .
out a . friend to help them , and neither of them had tasted foo * for two dayr , she had been advised ia her extremity to ; apply to the magistrate , to save them from \ actual starvation . The applicant handed In ber father ' s com . mission and a number of passports and letters from Mr Featherstonhaugh , the consul , the mayor of Cherbeurg , and other gentlemen , in confirmation of her statement ; and Holland , the warrant effioer , who had taen directed to make Inquiries about her , reported that she and her cousin had lived so privately and nlth such an appearanoeofrespeotabilitytfaatit wasBOt until a few days since that their landlady had discovered the starving condition they were in . —Mr Hammlll said it was cer . tainly a most distressing case , and one so worthy the consideration of tbe public , that he sincerely hoped tbe press would notice it , as bis means of benevolence were very limited . He regretted he conld only present the lady with lOr , for her immediate exigencies , but trusted her wants would be more liberally responded to b j others . —The applloantezpreiBcd her thanks for the magistrate ' s kindness , and left the court .,
Mdbdeeous Obibage . — Amongst the numerous charges brought before Mr Brought on , was one preferred against a labourer , named John Leary , for an aisault of a moit savage and murderous nature upon Mary Leary , his wife . The pirties reside at No . 6 , Waimer Place , Hew Road . — Police constable Young , 140 D , deposed that on the previous night , about eleven o ' clock , be heard loud cries of murder aud police , which Issued from the bouse above alluded to , and , on entering a book rojm , he saw the poor woman standing therein with no . t ling on but her . night gown ; it was completely saturated with Mood , and upon the floer be found a candle , stiok , with which ( be said the prisoner , who was also in the spartmint , had assaulted her , by striking her upon the head . She appeared to have been seriously injured , and blood continued to stream from one or more woaodi . ( Witness here Broduocd the candlestick , the lower part of whioh wu bent , and upon it were many stalna of blood . ) There was no light in tbe room when witness
went in , the candle having been knocked out of the candlestick by the prisoner . —In reply to MrBrougaton , witness said that the wife was unable to attend to give rldence , not only on account of the wounds in . her head , tut from the circumstance of the prisonor having , as she bad alleged , pouted boiling water over her legs en Sun . day last . —iThe prisoner , in answer to the charge , ao . oused bis wife ef being an habitual drunkard , and asserted that she had spent 6 s upon drink instead of laying the money out , as she ought te have done . He denied bavin ; given her a blow with the candlestick ; but admitted that he struck her with his fist . —The ma . gtetrat * gave the prisoner to understand that , however bad the conduct of his wife might be , he could net be justified in treating her In so brutal a way as had been stated , and remanded him till Tuesday next , by which day he hoped that the wife would be sum . oiently well to come forward . — The prisoner was then looked up . :
A Pxohibiizd MU ' tun ,- Z lehariah TinsoB , a yeung mtaofrespeotable appearance , was placed at the bar , before 'Mr Hammlll , charged on suspicion of having stolen thirty . nine sovereigns and a quantity of sliver , ( he property of a retired tradecman living in Gloucester Street , Hoiton . The prosecutor stated that he had occupied apartments about two moaths since at a house in Laburaham Terrace , Singiland Road , in which the prisoner and his mother also resided . On the 5 th of Oc tober last he had occasion to leave home for some hours , having previously dtposlted tkirty . niue sovereigns and tame silver mosey In a cash box , which he looked up at the bottom of his . trunk in bis sleeping apartment , On his return at night he observed that the trunk remained apparently undisturbed , but , having examined it more closely two days af . erwardt , he discovered that although
it was still securely locked , as he had left it , the hinges at the baok of the lid had been wrenched off , and that the caih-bos had also been forced open , and the whole of the money abstracted . He removed shortly after , wards to another residence , but previously gave inform * . tlon of the robbery to the police , who subsequently ob . talntd such information as Induced him to give the pri . soner into custody . —Pollce-constable Zinzan , of the N division , stated , that having ascertained that the pritoner , wh « had previously been in very straitened circura * stances , had suddenly come into possession of a considerable sum of money , a portion of'which he . had expended in the purchase of dresses , and other presents , for a young person to whom he was about to be . mar . rUd ; he : proceeded to U » mother ' s house , where he discovered a large quantity of male and female apparel .
which had evidently , been recently purchased . - On ap . prising him of the suspicions that attaohed to him , the prisoner became greatly agitated , but speedily recovered himself , and expressed bis readiness to meet the charge . He had since beea informed that the contemplated mar . rlage of the prisoner had been abandoned , and that he hid broken off his acquaintance with his inttnded bride who was now in attendance to give evidence , Jane Springhalt , a neatly dressed and comely young wossan , who was evidently labouring under feelings of strong but suppressed emotion , stated that theprlsoner had been for a eonslderable time a suitor for her hand , and it was arranged between them that their marriage should take plaoe on Sunday last , Tbe banns were acoordlpgly put up in due course in the parish church , bnt on their final publication , to her great surprise and chagrin , the proceedings were interrupted by the unexpected appear snee of the prisoner ' s mother , who entered a formal protest against the further proseoution of the oeremday ,
although her son hod previously presented her with three sovereigns to purchase the wedding dren , and aery preparation had beea made for the hippy ocouion — The constable Zlaitm stated , thai in the course of his inqulrite it bad ceme to his knowledge tDat the prisoner had taken his passige in the Great London Packet , whioh was atout to sail for Amerloa ln a few dan and that he had placed a quantity of property onward , which he expeoled would have a tendency to throw some further light upon the transaction , and strengthen the evidence against him . —In answer te the charge the pri . soner positively denied all knowledge of the robbers anddioUredthatthewhoIeof the p , 0 Derl , £ S £ 2 a was purchased with bis ewn money . -Mr Hammlll eonsidered that the oiroumstanocs of suspicion aealnst tho primer were amply sufficient to justif y hie detention upon the sharge , and he should erder him to bT t * SXiff * . tbi ¦*•• " ¦ " . ¦«¦ . »» pis

relieving offloeis , three of the members of the board of gusr . dians of that parish watted on Mr Elliott . Those gen . tlemea informed the magiitrato that it had always been their wish to oomply with the wishes of the magistrates of this oonrt , but so great was the number of psnpers at present ctargeabie , that not only was the workhouse fall but there was at the present moment upwards of sixty beyond the proper number there , and numbers of others were applying for admission .

poer were driven to window breaking , and they were then committed to prison . From this state of things another evil arose , and one whioh was loudly complained of by the county magistrates—namely , that those paupers were obliged to be maintained out of the oounty rate ; but there was still a greater evil prefaced by the present system , and that was that the oennty gaols were so full of those pauper offender ! , that there was no room for ' the prissners for whom they were intended ; and the consequence would be that the ' county magistrates would be compelled , unless there was some speedy change In the system , to call on the Secretary of State to cause a general gaol delivery of the pauper prisoners , —The three gentlemen expressed a hope that , under a new order of things , the magistrate ! would be less troubled , and here the matter ended .

STATE OF TRADE . Mahchesteb , Dec , 5 . —Our market today has been in . active , but firm . Tnose only , who were compelled to sell , and they are now but very few , would submit to lower rates . A stead ; business still continues to be dene at the full rates of last week . Cloths suitable for India are in good request , and rather scarce ; 7 . 8 and 9-8 print , ing cloths of middle and lower qualities move freely . Heavy goods are less active . From theincreased firmness on the part of manufacturers , the general'impression is that the amount of actual business to-day will be found to be less , in comparison with tbe extent of inquiry , than was anticipated . Toe yarn market is also very firm . The German buyers are now doing less business .
Bbadfobd . —Weols : There has been more wool chang . ing hands during the past week , and the spinners gene , rally have not large stocks . The supply in this market is now barely an average for this time of the year . Noils and shorts are n it altered either in demand or prices . Tarns : The contracts for bobbins for the month about commencing have ! not beeu on such advantageous terns for the manufacturers as for the month now closing . For all Mnds , botn low , middle , and fine numbers , there is no disposition to take orders , except at higher prices j and the demand both for shipping and home consumptioa is fully better ( for numbers ; than it has been since 18 U ; still the extreme low prices to which yarns have been forsed are by no means commensurate with the cost of wool , and when tbe finer kinds aro exclusively combed by band , low as wages are , the spinners cannot realise prime cost . This is a very distressing state of things ; and without a decided improvement in the price of jams ne cannot Bee any chance of either employer or employed having any satisfactory remuneration .
Pontypooi . —We regret to hear that a reduction is about to be made in the wages of the teeming operatives employed in the works in this vicinity . Ksttibing . —The strike of the hat plush weavers ia the empley of Mr Walters , at Kettcring , terminated en Thursday week , in favour ef the masters , the central committee of the National Tr . dcs Union refusing to support the workmen . —Northampton Herald , Glasgow . —There has been considerable demand throughout the week , both for goods and yarn , although with very little actual advance in price .
