committing themselves to it . If « j , ey ^ vcre anxious to do justice to the co lonies . iej t Vj em - them that protection to vhich ^ ^ eu £ tlcdt ^ q -which Canada , as well as the Owners , had demanded . But the question v aS not a r , ^ commercial onethe purpose for . which the navigation laws wereesiaMished und maintain i ^ was of even greater iinportajice than mere commerce—it was the advantage " ¦ stlie safety of the * state . " Mr . Drcmmosb said he had found throughout "t \ ie comitrs credit misapprehension as to the real nature of ifeis measure ; and it was not too much to say tb ** , he thought it possible there might be some members of that House also labouring undet &e simc misapprehension . In »« " ™ translated out of the ..... _ .,... _ .. _ , « .. « * __ . -
mea ^ ere now before them , officnl jargon in which it was couched , and put intelionest English , was simply , this-that it was the last of a safes of measures »^* 9 * "g- * J s ^« S ^ r £ H = SSSSSS ^ feS £ *» 5 H § 5 s 5 W i ^^ ss ^ ridcredTt to be a question of mere trade and commerce But it affected essentially , and much more , the class of labourers in this country than any other question that could be named . ( Hear , hear . ) MrHcsre expressed his astonishment at this
ob-. servation . It was the interest of the labourers to obtain employment , and what brought employment but increase of trade , which was checked and impeded by these laws 1 lie hailed the measure as a means of putting capital into activity , and thereby creating a demand for Labour . ilr . Drcmmoxd looked upon the measure as one of a series emanating from the Manchester school , the end and intention of which was to discharge British in order to give employment to foreign workmen . Sir . Hcme held that the removal of all monopolies , whether in corn or shipping , was beneficial to the industry of this country . So far from America refusing to reciprocate , he believed Mr . Bancroft had intimated to Lord Palmerston that his government were prepared to give perfect reciprocity . Mr . Baxkes asreed with Mr . Drummond that
Free Trade was apolicv for the depression of the British labourer- He believed the colonies would much rather wait for the turn in public opinion , -which was fast progressing , to give them a better and fairer system of legislature , than owe an ad-Tantage to a measure which would entail a serious evil on the whole empire . Colonel TnoMPSo . v advocated the Free Trade policy generally , and contended that the argument that it was necessary to maintain the navigation laws for the sake of the national defences , was as much as to say that it was worth while to give a shilling for sixpennyworth in return . A military marine depended on other things than the merchant nayy—as ior instance , on the general wealth of the country—and even sailors might be bought too dear .
The debate was continued by Mr . E . C . Hildtabb , Mr . J . L . Bjcabdo , Alderman Thompson , Mr . Mitchell , Mr . Robixsox , Sir Jonx Ttrrell , and the Marquis of Gkaxbt ; and ran very much in the current of a general Free Trade discussion . At the close Mr . Labodchere stated that the go-Ternment , during the recess , had communicated to foreign powers the purport of this measure , and had endeavoured to obtain from them a general notion of the course they proposed to take , and the correspondence would very shortly be laid before the House . The resolution was agreed to , and reported to the Souse , and a bill founded thereon was orderedto . be brought in . Hmma Cohpcs SuapESSios ( Irelaxd ) . —Oh the order of the day for theconsideiation of the report on this bill .
ilr . J . O'Consbll said , he hoped that it would sot be proceeded with afc that honr ( ten minutes to ax ) , Sir 6 . Gbzt wished to take this stage , in order that the third reading might be fixed for Friday . Mr . J . O'Cokxeh , said , then he should propose that the report be considered that day six months . The Speaker informed the hou . member that he conld not move that amendment . If he had an ; clause to propose , according to the new ruls 3 of the House , it might be received . Mr . J . O'Conxell said that , in that case , he would move as an instruction the clause which he had proposed in eommi-tee ; but he would allow the goTernment to fix this and the remaining orders of the day on the papers for the following day , if he -were not deprived of his right of speaking nponthis Stage
Sir G . Gbet said it was competent for the hon . gentleman to speak until six o ' clock , and , as the House would then adjourn , the three orders would stand for the following day . Mr . J . O'Gonkell said , in that case he should speak with great pleasure . ( A laugh . ) The hon . and learned member then proceeded to address the House , but , from the noise occasioned by hon . members leaving , he was not heard in the gallery before The Speareb intimated to him that the hour of six had arrived , and that the House would adjourn . The House adjourned accordingly . THURSDAY , Feb . 15 . HOUSE OF LORDS .-Their lordships met at five o ' clock .
The Duke of Richmond presented a petition against the endowment of the Roman Catholics in Ireland . The Bishop of Oxford presented several petitions praying for an alteration of the law for the punishment for the fraudulent seduction of women . The Right Rev . Prelate laid on the table a bill to effect this purpose , which was read a first time ; and gave notice that he should propose that it be read a second time after the Easter recess . I / rd Brougham moved that the Criminal Law Consolidation Bill and the Bankruptcy Law Consolidation Bill be read a second time . The bills were then read a second time and ordered to be committed .
HOUSE OF COMMONS . —The Speaker took the chair at four o ' clock . After the lapse of two or three minutes—daring Which nothing was done except the presentation of two private petitions by Mr . Hbsry Berkeleythe Bonse wascounted ; and there being only twentyfour members present , the House adjourned . ( From our Third Edition of lost wed : J FRIDAY , Feb . 9 . HOUSE OF LORDS . —The Marquis of Lansjdowxe moved for the appointment of a Select Committee to inquire into the administration of the Poor Law in Ireland . From the notoriety of circumstances ¦ with which they were a'l familiar it was unnecessary
for him to make out wh > t was called a Parliamentary case for this Committee . The Irish Poor Law had been introduced as as-rent experiment full of danger in a time of unparalleled distress ; and , though he was grieved , he was not at all surprised to learn that its operation had been impeded by almost insupera ble difficulties . Some peop'e seemed disposed to condemn the measure altogether , but though it had felled in some parts of Ireland , it had been eminently successful in others . A great many changes had also been proposed in its provisions , and amongst others the modification of the electoral districts , but on all these points lie begged the Uonsj to suspend its judgment until the Committee had an opportunity of considering the matter .
Lord STANLEy , though he did not intend to offer any opposition to the motion , could not refrain from expressing his opinion that the appointment of a committee would only cause unnecessary delay , and ultimately be productive of no good . After some farther debate ( he motion was then agreed to . aod their lordships adjourned . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Habeas Corpus Act in Ieelasjd . —After disposing of the private business , motions and questions , the Hcuse proceeded to the second reading of the bill for suspending the Habeas £ orpns Act in Ireland .
Mr . O Fuhuixt opened the debate by declaring hi- opinion that to continue a coercive policy in Ireland unaccompanied by remedial measures would endanger rather &an secure the peace of the country , . find entail upon England a necessity for large ipecufliary grants from time to time to preserve the people fromstarraiion . Mr . Sadlier , though he had voted for the bill last S ear , could not do so now , as the reasons which then justified the measure no longer existed . He blamed . Ministers for negleetin not having originated measures for promoting tie investment of capital in
Ireland and relieving the resident landowners , and sag . gesfced that the Hank of Ireland should be ecab ' ed to lesd their surplus capital on the security of the land , and that the management of college lands should be improved so as to put an end to the system of soiddle-men . lie complained of tbe Iocombered Estates Act as tending to throw a large portion of tbe land into the Gourt of Chancery , and concluded by moviog the poiigonement of the second reading for six months . Sir H . W . Bakboh and Mr , £ babican Crawfobd opposed the bilL
Colonel Thompson said , he sbogld reluctantly vote for the Mil , but only in the hope that its duration Wght Delimited to a less period th&D « ix months . Mr . Osboene thought that an unnecessary amount of ajWabon had been offered to Lord Clarendon , and , after arraigning the whole policy of Lord John Russell ; and taunft ' ns that noble lord with his recent overtures to Sir James Graham , who had separated from him on the Irish Church question , declared that he would no twite for the conturatnee ofthis bills dayJonger upon such reasons a 8 those contained in ft ? £ teracefa ! tetter of the Lord'Lieufenjnfc ^

drillin" the people of Ireland into a system agation an ° d then suppressing it by Tiolept means . Mr J . O'Coxsbi * hailed with satisfaction the exposition of this measure given by Sir W . Somerrille , namely , that it was not intended to interfere with a constitutional ag itation for a repeal of the Union . He should , however , propose an instruction to the committee to introduce a provision in the biil securing to the people of Irelandthe right to meet and petition for redress of grievances , After speeches by Mr . Home , Mr . Gratian , and Mr . Disraeli ,
Lord Johs Russell replied on behalf of the government . With reference to putting downagitatation , he said , the hon . gentleman ( Mr . Disraeli ) , I think excusably enough after the speechof the hon . member for Limerick ( Mr . J . O'Connell ) , supposes that certain parties are to be allowed to conduct their agitation free from any danger from this bill . But such was not the declaration of my right hon . friend . ( Hear . ) An hon . member ( Mr . Roche ) said that this bill was aimed at all constitutional discussion , that petitions could not be proposed nor grievances complained of if it were to pass , and that the obvious intent and object of it was to destroy all constitutional and political discussion in Ireland : my right hon . friend ,
in answer , said , that such was not the object , and such would not be the effect of the bill —( hear , hear)—that it was aimed at agitation connected with treasonable practices , and that discussion aimed at a redress of grievances , discussion constitutional hi itself , with a view to seek from Parliament measures beneficial to Ireland , was not intended to be prohibited , and could not be prohibited , under the terms of the bill , ( Hear , hear . ) The hon . member for Limerick ( Mr . J . O'Connell ) , adroitly enough certainly , but not with a very fair inference from my right hon . friend ' s speech , said that he understood that the association with which he was connected could not come under the operation of this bill [ Mr . J . O'Co . v
keix— " The agitation" ] , —the agitation , —and therefore half his objections were removed . Upon that I must say very plainly , that the bill itself contemplates treasonable designs and treasonable practices , but the power to imprison persons suspected of them is to be placed in the hands of the Lord-Lieutenant . I have had much conversa tion with the Lord-Lieutenant during the existence of the present law , as to agitation ; and I knowbig mind is that any agitation ought to be carefully watched —( hear ) : — that agitation which tends merely to the production , the fair production of a petition , is agitation which he ought not , and has
not the power to prevent —( hear ) , —but that the meetings of an association which is likely to fall very rapidly into a club and a conspiracy —( hear , ) —and tends immediately to lead to treasonable practices —( hear , )—ought in his opinion , and I will add in my opinion , to be carefully watehed —( hear , hear , ) —and if those treasonable practices should , in my opinion be carried on , it will be his bounden duty to secure the peace of the country by the application of the powers of the act . ( Much cheering . ) Mr . J . O'Cokhbll . —Does the noble lord impute to me treasonable practices or treasonable designs ? (" Order , order , " Hear , hear . " ) Lord J . Russell . —The hon . member asks me
that question ; I will answer it . ( Cheers . ) My opinion is that he would wish to cany on what he may think a wholesome , what I may think a pernicious agitation , —( hear , hear)—without any intention of committing treason or leading to treasonable practices . But seeing what I saw with regard to the association of which he was the leader last year , and in which , although he was the leader , he was left in a very small mmority- ^ laughter } , —the large majority of those who acted with him declaring that " moral force" was altogether a delusion—{ Mr . J . O'Connell . — "No . " ]—and that they concurred with some confederation over the way of which physical force and rebellion were the doctrine , and intended to be the practice—( hear ) , —
I should have no confidence in the safety of any association which the hon . gentleman was to set up in Dublin . I acquit him personally , I acquit him fully and sincerely of any treasonable design or practice , but I am not prepared to say that those whom he would assemble would be equally innocent ; and I do believe that any association of which he was the head would be very likely to become liable to the penalties of the act . ( Loud cries of "Hear , hear . ) I have answered his question fairly ; he may now take what course he likes with respect to this bill ; he may make , if he pleases , the other half of his speech ( a laugh ); but I will not
conceal from him what I think may be the effect of his bill . ( Hear , hear . ) Sir B . Pssh could not vote for the second reading of the bill without reluctance , as it was calculated to restrain the personal liberties of a portion of the people , but he believed it to be necessary to prevent the renewal of those rebellious attempts which had so recently distracted Ireland . He did not believe , notwithstanding some honourable members had vouched their credit for the fact , that these factious designs were entirely repressed or abandoned ; but he could not declare that he gave his support to measures of this nature from any confidence in the men bv whom they had been propounded .
After a few words from Mr . Moore , in opposition to the measure , the second reading was carried , on a division , by a majority of 275 to 33 .

Suicide of a Dressmaker . —On Thursday , Mr . Mills held an inquest at the Solden Fleece , Perceval-street , John « street-road , on Constantia Martinet , a dressmaker , aeed twenty-seven . Deceased , who possessed a small property , was courted by Mr . B—— for two years , and every arrangement was made for the marriage , when he suddenly broke off the match . This disappointment greatly affected her mind , and she declared she would not long survive it . Tuesday morning she was found dead on the floor of her bedroom , and at her side there was an empty cup , that lately contained oxalic acid . Mr . Goddard , surgeon , found in the stomach a large quantity of oxalic acid , mere than sufficient to cause death . Verdict— 'Insanity . '
France . —The intriguers have thrown off the mask , and Legitimists , Orleanists , and Buonapartists , openly avow their coalition for producing a counter-revolution . They have resolved to form an Electoral Committee in Paris , to be composed of thirty members , to direct the ensuing elections . Count Mole has consented to act as President , and MM . Thiers and Berryer as Vice-Presr dents . Five Buonapartists are to be admitted into the Committee , the remaining twenty-five are to be composed of Legitimists and the Friends of the Regency . It has been agreed on by the chiefs of these parties tbat any candidate approved of by the committee shall obtain all the votes the united parties can influence .
Scotch Law of Entail . —On Saturday last the Court of Session approved of the first disential under tbe recent statute . This is a great fact in the history ef Scotland . The evils of a system introduced in the worst days of Scottish history by the worst of our Lord Advocates are now checked , and the soil of the country is no longer to be tied by the artificial fetters of a barbarous system . Regard for « sisting vested interests will no doubt prevent the full operation of this great improvement until many of the present generation are gone ; but at the same time , there is no man who has any love of country who will not rejoice at the beginning of so important a change .
Ignorant Obstinacy . —In was mentioned the other day , at a coroner ' s inquest , that an Irjsbman fad periBhed in University College Hospital from ignorant obstinacy . A bone had stuck in his throat ; at the hospital , tracheotomy was recommended as the only but certain method of saving the man s life . To encourage him , a patient wa < brought before him who had just undergone the operation . The sufferer said that he should consult bis relatives before he gave an atiBwer . His relatives , all Irish , were rent for to advise with him ; and with one voice cried out , ' Don't let yourself be cut up but die like a Christian ! ' ' I will die like a Christian V exclaimed the simple Celt : and he died , for all the arguments of the medical officers could not induce him to submit to the ^ operation .
ExTBAonsiNART Incident . —A very extraordinary adventure occurred on the Barton * road , in the neighbourhoodof this town , on Thursday week . On the right hand side of the road , going to Barton there is a ditch , which is generally , at this season of the year , filled with water . A man named Smith , residing at Barnwell , wa 3 walking by this ditec , when he saw t rat swimming along the side of it .

WESTMINSTER .-BvnGUKy with Violence . - W » Cullen , G . Digby , and F . Pike weve charged with burglary at the residence of Mr . Waller , 13 , Stamford Villas , Fulham-road , and with personal violence to the proprietor . The accused were taken into custody on the following night , for being found in the rear of some houses in Cadogan-place . —A medical certificate was produced to show that Mr . Waller , in consequence of the injuries he had received , was unable to leave his room . He was awoke by a man entering his sleeping apartment at about three o ' clock on Saturday morning and on jumping out of bed was wounded , on the nead with some heavy blunt instrument , and his assailant
escaped . —Inspector Drake found that after two ineffectual attempts to get into the house frem a close and kitchen window , in both of which a crowbar had been used with some force , the burglars forced open the doors of some out-houses , and broke a hole large enough to admit a man , and from one of these effected an entrance through the brickwork into the kitchen . It was proved that , between one and two o ' clock on Sunday morning , a policeman heard some one in a dark passage leading to the back of the houses in Cadogan-place , and found there the prisoner Pike , who pretended that he was there for an ordinary purpose , and gave a name and address
which ultimately turned out to be false . ( Soon after this the constable again heard a noise near where he had observed Pike , and having , with another constable , mounted the wall , they saw the two prisoners , Cullen and Digby , in a yard in the rear of one of the houses in Cadogan-place , and the officers jumped down and secured them . Amongst other articles found on Digby was a penknife with the blade broken , the point of which , precisely corresponding with the portion left in the handle , was found in some putty which had been cut from a pane of glass at Mr . Waller ' s , at the time of the burglary ; The prisoners had previously been seen in company . —Mr . Broderip remanded them for a week .
Assault on a Woman bt a Soldier . —J . Kennedy , a private in the Scots Fusiliers , was finally examined , charged with assaulting Anne Jennings . —On the evening of Saturday week , complainant was at the bar of the King ' s Arms , TothiU-strcct , Westminster , when defendant , who was in company with some of his comrades , accosted her in very filthy language . She told him not to interfere with her , as she wished to have nothing to say to him , and said that if he repeated his conduct she would throw the contents or the drinking vessel she had in her hand over him . Defendant immediately Laid hold of her and gave her a push , in doing which a small portion of the beer was spilt over him , when he attacked her with great fury , struck her violently in the mouth , and kicked her so desperately that it
was found necessary to take her to the hospital , where she was scarcely able to move for a week in consequence of the injuries she had received . —Defendant in reply to the charge , said that the complainant was most abusive to him as well as . those who were in company with him , or he should not have acted as he had done . —Mv . Broderip committed the prisoner for trial , and in default of bail he was locked up . SOUTHWARK . —Charge op Fiuudule . vixt Obtaimsg Money at a County Cocbt . Cooper was charged with fraudulently obtaining money of suitors of the Southwark County Court . —Mr . lung , a farmer , stated that he was sued in theabovo court , aDd went there for the purpose of paying the amount sued for . When he got to the entrance of the court , he was accosted by the prisoner , ' who
asked him if he wanted a summons . His reply was in the negative , Mr . King saying that he came there to pay money , upon which the prisoner said that he would receive the debt , and give him a receipt for the money . Complainant , under the impression that the prisoner was an officer of the court , handed him the summons and then paid him over the debt and costs , and having had a receipt given him foi the money , then departed . Some weeks afterwards an officer of the above court surprised Mr . King by a call at his residence in the country to levy a distress for the debt and costs incurred in two actions in which he was defendant . The complainant mentioned the fact of his having paid the money into court , and when he described the circumstances and the prisoner , the officer said that that person
was not at all connected with the court , but was known as a man who was in the habit of hanging about the entrance . The complainant paid the money over again to save his goods from seizure . — The chief clerk of the County Court explained that agents were not employed to rcceivc . monics of suitors , and that a clerk , whose desk was in the court , was appointed for that purpose . He added , that he had seen the prisoner about the court on previous occasions . — Mr . Cottingham thought it would be advantageous to the public to have a notice exhibited at the entrance of the court in a conspicuous place , to apprise those by whom and these to whom monies were to be paid in there . The case in question disclosed a ecandalous fraud on the part of the prisoner , who , however , in his opinion , had not
rendered himself amenable to a criminal prosecution . He had received the complainant ' s money and given him a receipt , and instead of paying the amount into court he put it into his own pocket . It did not appear that he represented himself to be an officer of the court on the occasion , nor did Mr . King take the precaution of asking him any questions on the subject , hut merely paid Mm the money under the supposition that such was the fact . —Mr . H . C . Knell stated that being defendant in a cause tried at the same court , the prisoner called upon him , and representing 'that he had come from the court for the debt and expenses , amounting to £ 1 11 s . Cd ., that sum was given to him , and he gave & receipt for it . Witness was subsequently sued for the sum , which he had to pay over again . —
Mr . Cottingham said that this case differed from the former , inasmuch as the prisoner had used a false pretence in obtaining the money , by representing that he had called irora the county court fov the debt . He should commit the prisoner on the latter charge , and as it was understood that other eases of a similar description were likely to he preferred against him , he should remand him until Wednesday . Rape . —David Thomas , an extensive wharfinger at Shad Thames , was brought before Mr . Cottingham , for final examination , charged with criminally assaulting Phoebe Hyde , a very interesting little girl , twelve years of age . The child was again examined , and gave a repetition of the evidence which appeared in our last number . —Mr . Binns , the solicitor , again attended for the prisoner , and
cross-examined the child at some length . She stated , that the house whicbthey entered was in the Lower-road , Deptford . She had an aunt living near the place , and she thought she could have pointed the place out to the police , but when she went with the officer she could not distinguish the house . —Mi * . Cottingham asked her what she had at the publichouse ?—Complainant replied that the prisoner put some tobacco in her mouth at one place , which made her sick . He afterwards compelled her to smoke a pipe , and threatened to cut her throat , unless she complied with his request . He also gave her beer , and at the public-house poured gin down her throat . —Mr . Cottingham : Why did you not raise an alarm when he did it ?—Complainant : I was afraid , as he pulled out his knife , and said he
would cut my head off if I did . —Jackson Lewis , police-constable 76 M , said that on . the evening in question , a little after six o ' clock , he met the child in Tooley-street . She was crying very much , and a female told him that she had been ill-treated by a man . He ascertained that she lived in Snoreditch , and after hearing her story he took her home to her parents . On the Sunday he went to Deptford , with the hope of finding the house , but the child could not point it out . From information he received he went to Gainsford-street , Horsley-down , and apprehended the prisoner . On his acquainting him with his business the latter exclaimed , " Poor child , lam sorry for her . " He also said he met her near St . Thomas ' s Hospital , crying for the loss of fourpence ,
ana being afraid to go home , he took charge of her . —The pot-boy at the public-house deposed that he saw the prisoner and the child in the tap-room on the evening in question . She smoked a pipe part of the time , and before they went he witnessed something unfit for publication . —Mr . Burchell , a surgeon atKingsland , said he examined the child on Saturday night , the 3 rd . inst . Great violence had been used towardsTier , and he believed the capital offence had been committed . —The mother of the child , a very respectable female , corroborated the surgeon s statement , and informed the magistrate that her daughter was extremely simple , ant liable asfssK * - cottingham committed the

jected to grant the delay , he was prepared to pay the money under protest . —Mr . Bingham said , after the protracted litigation which had occurred , and considering that the sum which Colonel Blane was called upon to p ay weekly was very small in proportion to his means , he could not feel justified in acceding to further delay . The arrears , with costs both at that court and the sessions , must be paid . — The costs already allowed by the two courts against Col Blane amount to £ 36 . This sum , of course , is a very trifling part of the actual expenses . . BOW-STREET . —Edward Broome , who has been employed in the Post-Office for fourteen years , was placed at the bav charged with stealing a letter containing money , the property of the Postmaster-Jected to grant the dolay , he , vas prepared pay
General . Mr . Peacock appeared for the prosecution , and Mr . Binns for the prisoner . — -Mr . Walter R . Sculthorpe , a superintendent-president attached to the London district , said that in consequence of numerous complaints from Deptford and the neighbourhood , respecting missing letters , he caused a letter to be written on Saturday , addressed " Thos . Jeftries , Mickley , near Ripton , Yorkshire , enclosing a half-sovereign and a sixpence , which he marked in the presence of Mr . Cole , an inspector of letter camera , and which were folded ma card for security . The letter was enclosed in an envelope , sealed , which he delivered a few minutes hefore two o'clock to Peake , the officer , with directions to post it at the New-cross office before four o ' clock , that it
miwht be collected there by the prisoner and taken to Deptford , to be forwarded in the mail bag to town . The Deptford bag arrived at the General Post-Office about ten minutes before six o ' clock , tied and sealed , and being opened by witness he could not find the letter produced , upon which he proceeded to Deptford with the officers and found the money and letter upon the prisoner . On being asked to account for it , he said it was jolted out of his pouch bag on his riding with a man in a cart which had no spring ; and the reason why he did not give it up to the charge-taker was , that he did not discover it in giving , in his collection until he was leaving the office . Other officials belonging to the Post-Office having given corroborative evidence ,
the prisoner declined saying anything in his defence , and ne was fully committea for trial . MARYLEBONE . — Unfounoed Chakoe . — Mr . Isaac Falcke , a tradesman , carrying on business as a dealer in foreign china , pictures , bijouterie , < fcc , at 394 , Oxford-street , and 131 , Regent-street , was charged by the Rev . R . Bellis , curate of St . Paul ' s , Lisson-grove , with having gained admittance into his house imdor fraudulent pretences . —Complainant deposed that on the same morning , as he was dressing , his servant handed him a card , saying that a person who had given it in wished to see him . The name and address upon the card was " Mr . J . Williams , St . John ' s-terrace , Islington . " He ( comnlainantl went down , and in the drawinc-room found
the defendant . He asked him the nature of his business , when he hesitated a little , and after apologising for intruding-, said he had called to inquire about a person whom ho ( complainant ) knew , the Count de Condatori . Complainant said he did not know any such person , and that he thought defendant had come to his house for an improper purpose , and complainant sent for a policeman , pending whose arrival , the defendant abused him , alleging that he was acting neither like a gentleman nou a clergyman . The constable who took defendant into custody produced a card which defendant gave in at the station ; it bore his right name and his place of business in Oxford-street and Regent-street . — Defendant : I had several cards in my pocket ,
and perhaps took out the one the complainant received which I handed in , not thinking at the moment whether it was my own or not . I can give the highest testimonials as to my responsibility , and I have for many years had dealings with the highest noblemen and gentlemen in the land in the way of trade . Defendant'here handed to the magistrate numerous papers connected with business transactions to a large amount . Mi-. Broughton perusod them and felt satisfied therefrom , as well as from the statement of a witness named Kirsch , who had taken a note written by defendant to a partner at one of his houses of business that he ( defendant ) was a man of respectability ; at the same time he was of opinion that the rev . gentleman , when he
gave the charge , thought that he was doing his duty to society . He ( the magistrate ) would have imagined that something wa 3 wrong . It was well known that parties were going about to the houses of reverend gentlemen to collect alms for clergymen alleged to be in distress , and that much imposition had been practised . The worthy magistrate ( addressing defendant ) , added , that , satisfied as he was of the respectability of the accused , he should strongly recommend that the rev . gentleman should make the amende honorable at once , in order to prevent ulterior proceedings . —Complainant ; I think , sir , you have taken too favourable a view on the part of defendant . I'll not withdraw anythin" I have said or done , and I feel that no apology
should he required from me . —Mr . Broughton : If he had had an improper object in view when he came to your house and gave in his card " Mi * . J . Williams , " he would , if he was an improper character , have still kept up the name and not have given his real address and name . The worthy mag istrate finding that all his endeavours to effect a reconciliation were perfectly futile , said to defendant , " I am sorry for what has occurred to you , and I shall discharge you . "—Defendant then quitted the court . A Would-be Ghost . —A foreigner , who could not speak a word of English , and who had a coarse sack wrapped around him from head to foot , was brought
up by a police-constable , who , at twelve o clock at night , saw the prisoner come out of No . 18 , Avenue-road , St . John ' s-wood , the said dwelling being at present taken care of by some parties until it can be let . He ( prisoner ) walked with a slow and stately step , at the same time making an unearthly noise with his mouth ; and from the grotesque appearance which he exhibited , he caused witness to start , not knowing at first what the form could be . —Mr . Broughton : You thought it was a ghost , did you not ?—Witness : Some people might well have imagined so , your worship , but I don ' t believe in supernatural beings . The prisoner was remanded till next Monday , in order that some inquiry may be made into the state of his mind .
WoBsmp-sTREEr . —Bruial Assault . —A tradesman named Tladcliffe was charged with , the following brutal assault upon his apprentice , a youth named Thomas Camfield : —The apprentice stated , that while in bed afc half-past twelve o ' clock on the night of Saturday week his master rushed into the room , and without giving the slightest reason for such conduct seized him by the hair of his head , dragged him out of bed , andliicked him in the most furious manner upon various parts of the body , The defendant then left him , and the complainant with great pain and difficulty contrived to- get into bed again , Dut had not been there more tnan five minutes when the defendant returned , and , again seizing him in the same manner as before , a second
time dragged him out of bed , compelled him to dress himself , and notwithstanding the lateness of the hour , turned him into the street . —The defendant , in answer , said , that upon returning home his wife told him . that the complainant had both insulted her grossly and struck her , and , feeling naturally exasperated , he ordered the complainant to leave the house ; this he positively refused to do , and he , therefore , used sufficient force to compel his compliance , but he denied that he had either kicked him or illused him to the extent described . —Anne Camfield , the lad ' s mother , stated , that upon her son returning home , he had a severe contusion upon one of his eyes , and she found upon examination that he had other serious bruises upon his hip ,
knee , and the middle of his back , in addition to which he also complained of suffering extreme pain from some internal injury in his joins . —Mr . Hammill considered that no provocation could justify such extreme violence as it was clearly proved the defendant had been guilty of , . and ordered him to pay the full penalty of £ 5 , or in default to be committed to the House of Connection for two months . The penalty was immediately paid , and the defendantliberatcd . THAMES . —A Twck Somewhere . —Mr . Thompson , pawnbroker , Commercial-road East , was charged with detaining a gold watch-guard . C . M ' Crombie said , having pledged his watch and a gold guard chain at the defendant ' s shop , he sent a person , named Louis Solomon , to relieve it , at the
same time handing him the duplicate , which distinctly specified that the chain was a gold one , When Solomon redeemed the article , seeing that the guard was not gold , he called the attention of the shopman to that fact , and showed him that it was described as gold in the ticket , to which the shopman replied that he had it as it was pawned . — Mr . G . Cripp " s , foreman to the defendant , said he received the watch and chain from the complainant , which he put in a room to which no one had access but himself and another , who had been a long time in the employment ? He remembered taking the pledge , but did not remember anything of the chain .
There was no remark made about the chain by Solomon when the pledge was redeemed , and when Solomon camp back with M'Crombie , the latter , instead of asking for his own guard , said it would be bettor for them to give him another . —Mr . Yardley said there was evidently a trick somewhere , but upon which side it was hard to tell . —In answer to the magistrate , Mr , Cripps said that they never took in articles , described as gold , without testing them . This appeared not to have been done in toe present instance . —Mr . Yardley said it was impossible to come to a decision on this evidence . It lay with the complainant to prove Jiis case , but as he had not done so , the summons must lie dismissed .

The prisoner was quarrelling with and Di-using a woman with whom be lived , ller screams wme heard by the people in the room below , and among others by ihe woman Putt , who went up to take her © art .

He knew from the first glance that it answered the description of one stolen from the prosecutor ' s house , ana he seized the necklace , and secured the prisoner before he had time to make any resistance . —Mr .

fit in , observing that he was going their way . hey again raiaea an alarm , upon which the man left , and the cab proceeded at a very slow pace . On arriving at Aldgate the defendant made use of the most disgusting language .. Witness then left the cab , and spoke to a policeman , who refused to tak ^ . the charge , and told her iif she felt aggrieved she could take out a summons . Ann Jacobs corroborated the above evidence , and added that they were obliged to walk home in a mizzling rain for about ten minutes . —The defendant said , that when driving past the Post-office , a gentleman
ran up and askeu if it was disengaged ; but on seeing the prosecutors inside , he made an apology and left . With respect to getting into the cab , he denied that altogether . — Alderman Challis sent for the officer who refused to take the charge ; and on his arrival , he said he was not told to take the cabman into custody , but certainly the lady called police , and said that a strange gentleman had attempted to get in . On being questioned by Mr .

was the same he had received , and would give her no further satisfaction , upon which she took out a summons . —S . Cohen said he was at the door when the complainant came up , ahe was in liquor , and asked if the ring was gold . The defendant at once said it was not , and returned it to her .
