As Atiobsey Cosvicied of Perjuby . —Thomas Griffin Piiilpotts , attorney-at-law , was charged -with having committed wilful and corrupt perjury at the last assizes for this county . —Mr . Keating , in Opening the case , said : —On the 27 th of March last there camo on to be tried in the next court a cause called " Doe , on the demise of Thomas Richards , v , Lewis Lewis . " It was an action of ej-etment brought by Thomas Richards to recover possession of certain leasehold premises held by the defendant . Mr . Fhilpotts acted on that occasion as the attorney for the plaintiff . The premises in dispute were held under a lease granted iu 1822 to two persons named Shys Morgan and William Joseph . In that action the plaintiff claimed through llhys Morgan , and it was therefore necessary for him to show that Morgan was the survivor of the two lessees , and
that Joseph was dead ; and accordingly , in the course of tue cause , the plaintiff ' s counsel put in with that view a document which purported to be . ftn office copy of the will of William Joseph , and it was proposed to be read in order to snow that Joseph was dead . It was objected that this office copy was not evidence , aud could not be tead as an office copy of a will in any shape or way . On this Mr . Piiilpotts , after coinuiuuicating with his coun-8 el , was called as a witness , and swore that he had compared that document with the original will in the Consistency Court of Llandaff . It was then objected that this did not make the document evidence , and the learned judge who presided ( Mr . Justice Talfourd ) said to the counsel who Jed for the plaintiff , " An examined copy of a will will not
answer . You must have the probate or act of probate . " On which Mr . Piiilpotts swore that he had examined the document proposed to be read whh the act-book and the act of probate in tho Consistor i . il Court . Tills appeared rather strange . It was strange thai he should have examined that document witu the original will and with the actbook and the act of probate . Accordingly , the Counsel for tho defendant in the action cross-examined Mr . Fhilpotts very strictly , so that there should be no mistake in the matter ; and he repeated distinctly , again and again , that lie had examined the document with the original will , and ' with the act-book , aud the act of probate ; and on being sifted in croas-esa . tuia-j . tion , he gave the time at Which , the place where , the persons with whom , and tiio circumstances under which lie made the examination . The whole of the material parts of this
statement would be proved to be totally and entirely false , and false to the knowledge of the defendant wi » n he swore them ,--His . Lordship said , that though his own private opinion wa 3 that the law ought to be that whatever was sworn in the course of a cause in a court of justice should be the subject of an indictment for perjury , yet he had not the least doubt that as the law now stood that which Wa 9 the subject of such an indictment must be something capable of supporting the issue . He would sot now determine this question , but reserve it for the Court of Criminal Appeal , if the verdict should be against tue defendant . —Mr . Sergeant Allen then addressed the jury for the defendant . — The jury deliberated for four minute . - - , and then returned a verdict of Guilty . —The defendant was t ' -ec admitted to bail till the next assizes , in order ilat the point reserved may be decided in the Court , of Appeal .

CROYDON . HATC H V , THE LONDON AND BRIGHTON IUILWIY COMFANT . Railwat Collision . —Hem BiMkGES . —Thia was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover damages for injuries he had sustained through the alleged negligence of the defendants , The circumstances under which the action was brought were of rather a peculiar character , inasmuch as the plaintiff appeared to have sustained the injuries for which he sought compensation while he was travelling by one of the South-Eastern trains , and not by any direct act of the defendants . It appeared that the accident occurred on the 14 th of March , and the evidence went to show that wh&t is called a
" pick-up " tram had started from London between the ordinary quarter-past seven o ' clock Croydon train and the Dover and Hastings train , which started from London at half-past seven . The Croydon train passed New Gross , the scene of the accident , with safety , and upon the arrival of- the " pick-up " it stopped for the purpose of having some carriages attached to it and to effect this it was necessary that it should be " shunted " off the main line to a siding . At this period it was admitted that the Dover train was known to be nearly due ; but it appeared that before the tail carriages of the " pick-up" train were got off the main line the expected train came up and run into them , causing thereby a violent concussion and serious injury to
the plaintiff . The case for the plaintiff was that the train of the South Eastern Company had started indue course , that they were entitled to travel freely upon the line , and that the accident h . \ a . been occasioned by the negligence of tho servants of the defendants in not having the line cleared , and permitting the obstruction to be upon it which was the occasion of the accident . —Mr . Sergeant Channell called several servants of the Bri ghton company as witnesses on behalf of the defendants , but their evidence was very far from making out the case as suggested by the learned sergeant ; for , although it appeared that two green flags had been exhibited as signals , it was admitted that they only indicated caution to the coming irain , and that the red flag , which was an indication of danger , was not shown at all ; and one of the
witnesses admitted that he was not even aware that the " pick-up" train was to be shunted in the way described , and that if he had he should certainly have exhibited the " danger" signal . It was likewise elicited , in the course of cross examination , that a clock at the station , which regulated the movement of a large number of trains , was five minutes too slow , and the watchman said , in answer to questions put to him by Mr . Chambers , that thia clock was in his charge , and that he wound it up , but he at the same time stated that he had no correct meams of knowing whether it kept good time or not ; it being at the same time proved in evidence that the process of " Bhunting " occupied from seven to ten minutes , that a great
number of trams were continually passing , and ikat every minute was occasionally of the utmost importance as regarded the safety of the public travelling upon the railway . —The Lord Chief Justice summed up the rase with his usual care ana clearness . His lordship called the attention of the jury to the facts of the case , and said that he could not help expressing his strong disapprobation at the manner the clock , upon the accuracy of which the lives of bo many people solely depended , was taken chargo of , and th it it should not give the time correctly when almost every minute was of importance in preparing the necessary operations at this station . —The jury , after deliberating for a quarter of an hour , returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages , £ 1 , 500 .
! 80 LTATJ V . BE HELD . Romas Cathomc Bblls . —This was an action to recover damages for injury sustained by the plaintiff by reason of a nuisance occasioned by the defendant . —Mr . Chambers said that the plaintiff in this action was a merchant in the City o ! London , and he instituted the present proceedings in order to relieve himself and his neighbours from a most intolerable nuisance , for the erection of which the defendant was answerablein point of law . The plaintiff had for several years , occupied a house in New Park-road , Clapham ; this house was formerly a large mansion , and it bad been altered into two residences ; and somewhere about the year 1848 , the other portion of the premises was purchased for the purpose of a Roman Catholic societ y , called the Redemption Fathers , of which society the defendant , Mr . De Held , was the superior . It appeared that the moment they look-possession of the premises they converted it to religious purposes , and a large bell was placed at the top Of

tho house . This b 6 ll , aYhotwas lnsfcrfcctefc , w ^ s al mast coutinually ringing . from .. ino . rRing ,. till .. mght ,. - ° olmSg as earij ' as five o ' clock in the morning ; and it was very soon found to ; be a most < tenons nuisance not only to the plaintiff , but also to _ thc whole neighbourhood . At length a communicaUon ,-s / gned by the plaintiff and several other gentlemen ; was sent to the defendant , complaining of theinconvenience that was sustained from the tolling of this bell , but no notice was taken of that communication , and in December , 1843 , Ma \ Field , a professional gentleman , had an interview with Mr . Hastings , the defendant ' s attorney , on behalf of Mr . Soltan , and upon the subject of the nuisance that was complained of . Mr . Hastings acted upon . , ... . ?„ . v . ' v V ;
the occasion with tha utmost courtesy , but in the result the defendant declined to make any alteration in i he proceeding of ringing the bell unless he was compelled by law to do so . For a short period after thia the hour for ringing the bell in the morning was changed from five to six o ' clock , but the old hour was very soon returned to , and this continued Until the commencement : of the present year , when a much more serious nuisance was created . It appeared that the society had built a regular belfry upon a portion of these premises , and having removed the bell from tUe top of the house , they now had a regular peal of six bells , which , according to his instructions , were being continually rung , and which constituted the most serious nuisance to
the whole neighbourhood . Tiie ringing commenced ut five o ' clock in the morning with the smaller bell , and then the other bells were rung at intervals during nearly the whole of the day . The plaintiff and hid neighbours remonstrated with the defendant upon the subject of this serious nuisance , but it was of no avail ; and he distinctly told them that the bells should not be stopped unless by the law , and under these circumstances the present action was brought . —Several witnesses were examined who thought the bells a nuisance . —The jury -were iu deliberation about two hours , when they returned into court and gave a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages , 40 s . —Upon the application of the learned counsel his lordship said he thought it was a case in which he ought to certify .
CHESTER , BEDPI 9 K V . FRIE 3 INALL . —BREACH 07 FB 0 MI 3 I Of
MARRIAGK , Thia was an action to recover compensation in damages for a breach of promise of marriage . The defendant pleaded first , that it was agreed the plaintiff and defendant should be married when the latter was able to set up in business , but that ho had never been in a condition to perform the promise ; and next , that they had mutually agreed to waive the promise . —Mr . Evana stated the case . In 1842 , tho defendant first beoame acquainted with the plaintiff . He was at that time an assistant to a Mr . Drinkwater , a large draper in the same town . The defendant was at first struck with her , and became a frequent visitor at her father's house , so much so that it led to observation on
the part of Mr . Drinkwater ; but on that gentleman learning the cause of those visits , he made no objection . In the year 1843 , a correspondence commenced between the parties , which continued until July , 1848 , when he went to London , where he met with his present wife , unfortunately for the happiness of the plaintiff . A letter , written by the defendant to the plaintiff , dated March , 1843 , appeared to be a reply to one from the plaintiff , in which she had complained of being addressed as " madam . " He began the letter , "Dear Ann—First and foremost I beg pardon for the formal word madam . It is a word we often use in business . Do , if you please , excuse me—you know what sort of a blundering fellow lam , " and so on ,
ending with terms of affection , In 1845 the defendant wrote from the Isle of Man , in which he described the scenery of the place and recommended her to go to Matlock for the benefit of her health . The learned counsel then read a number of letters which had passed between the plaintiff and the defendant , the last of which was dated in July , 1848 , which was very jengthy , and contained an account of his visit , and ia which , he stated that he had seen Prince Albert , that he stood near the royal carriage , took off bis hat , and had the honour of a personal move from his Royal Highness . After that visit the conduct of the defendant beoame cool towards the plaintiff , and at length he married another . No amount of damages would repair the
injury which the defendaut had inflicted upon the plaintiff . When the courtship began she was twenty-six years of age . It had continued for five years , and when she had a right to suppose she was about to settle in life , her prospects had been blighted , and he therefore called upon the jury to give ample damages . —His lordship in summing up the case left it to the jury to say whether the evidence was sufficient to warrant them in coming to the reasonable conclusion that a promise hud been made to the plaintiff . —The jury , after consulting together a few minutes , returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damage £ 20 . Manslaughter . —James Kuott , 22 , and Frederick Jameson , 37 , were indicted for the manslaughter of Mark Kidd , at Brinnington . —The deceased and
the prisoners were parties well known to each other , all living in the neighbourhood of Stockport , The deceased and his brother were going along Portwood , late on Saturday evening , the 2 nd of August , when they wove met by the prisoner Knott and his wife . Enott ' s wife had some peas in her hand , a few of which she gave to Kidd . Her busband and Kidd had then some words about which was the best man , and at length Knott rushed at Kidd , and th < y both fell on the ground together . Kidd appeared to have had the best of the struggle , and Kuott Baid he had had eaough . The men got up , and at this time Jameson came up , and understanding what had taken place , struck Kidd a violent blow on the face . Knott followed up the blow by several others , which knocked Kidd
head foremost into an open cellar several feet deep . As soon as he had fallen down he was followed by Knott , who continued beating him for some time . The deceased ' s brother then went to look after deceased , and found him lying snoring in the cellar . It was thought he was asleep , and the deceased was removed , but it was soon afterwards found that he was dead . A surgeon was called in , and on a . ' post mortem examination being made , it Was found that Kidd'a death was causud by extravasion of blood on the bruin , produced by his fall on the cellar floor . —The Judge ( in answer to Mr . M'Intyre ) said that there was no case against Jameson , as tho blow given by him to the deceased had nothing to do with the death . —Knott ivas convicted , and sentenced ( o eight months' imprisonment .
Charge of Psbivry . —Ann Scrymegour , 32 , was uidicted for wilful and corrupt perjury at Asutonuuder-Lyne , in the year 1847 , This was a remarkable case . In the spring assizes of 1848 , a person named William Ratcliffe , was tried for attempting to murder the prisoner , by throwing , her into a canal , on which indictment he was acquitted of the major offence and found guilty of an assault ,. which ho wag sentenced to eighteen mouths' imprisonment . The conviction took place principally on the oath of Scrymegour , who swore that as she was returning from Rycroft to Ashton-under-Lyne , along the canal , William Ratcliffe ( by whom she was pregnant ) , overtook her in company with a woman named Duckworth , with whom Ratcliffe
lived ; that Ratcliffe struck her in the face , and then seized her by the neck and threw her into the canal ; that she became partially insensible , and scarcely knew how she got out , but that by some means or other she did manage to scramble to the canal towing pat ^ i . These were the averments , which were now alleged to be wilful and corrupt perjury . —To prove it , William Ratclitfe was about to be called , when Mr . Brandt objected to certain technical discrepancies between the indictment and the depositions on which the alleged perjury was founded . More particularly that the perjury was alleged to have been committed upon " , i certain information" then pending , whereas the depositions were not taken upon any formal "
information" beyond the story of the prisoner , —His lordship thought the objection was a fatal oue , and directed an acquittal . Incendiarism . —Joseph M'Creery , 23 , was indicted for setting fire to a stack of ! iay at Cheatile Bulkeley , the property of Robert M'Clure . The prosecutor , Mr . M'Clure , has some cotton works at iieaton Morris , and a croft with Bome ) iay iu it at Gheadle Bulkeley . On the 25 th of June tho prisoner was proved to have gone to the house of a person named Bradbury , about nine o ' clock at night , and borrowed some matches , and .-it a later period of the evening was seen to go to M'Ciure's stack , and shortly after it was discovered to be on fire . About seven tons of hay were burnt before the fire could bo extinguished . Suspicion fell upon
the prisoner , and he was apprehended ; and he thon stated to Mr . Walker , inspector of the Stockport police , that he could not get his living by working at his trade ( weaving ) , and that he wished to do something which would get him sent out of the country . —The prisoner on being , called upon for his defence , said that he was a power-loon \ Weaver , and being too sickly to get his living ac iiis trade , he hud an impression on his mind for , \ vo jears , that if he could set fire to something he should get himself gent out of tho country , and he ut hist executed his purpose . —Verdioi ; Guilty . —The prisoner was then arraigned , and pleaded Guilty to a former conviction for arson , and for which he had suffered two } ears' imprisonment . — Sentence : Transported for life .

PEOEOGATION OF PARLIAMENT . The House of Lords met again at half-past one o ' clock . About a quarter past two o ' clock her Majesty entered the house , in the uaual state . Her Majesty then read , in a dear and impressive manner , the following royal speech , which had been handed to her by the Lord Chancellor : — My Lords and Gbntlbmbn , I am glad to be able to release you from your attendance in Parliament , and I thank you for the diligence with which you have performed your laborious duties .
I continue to maintain the most friendly relations with foreign powers . . I am happy to bo able to congratulate you , on the very considerable diminution which has taken place in tho African and Brazilian slave trade . The exertions of my squadrons on the coasts of Africa and Brazil , assisted by tlio vigilance of the cruisers of France aud ttie United States , and aided by the co-operation of tho Brazilian Government , have mainly contributed to this result . GbsiiiEmbn or thb House of Commons , ¦ I thank you for the readiness with which you have granted the supplies necessary for the service of the year . Mr Lords and Gentlemen ,
It is satisfactory to observe that , notwitbstandiDg very large reductions of taxes , the revenue for the past year considerably exceeded the public expenditure for tho same period . I am rejoiced that you have thereby oeen enabled to relieve my people from an impost which restricted the enjoyment of light and air in their dwellings . I trust that this enact ment , with others to which your attention lias been and will be directed , will contribute to the health and comfovtof my subjects . Ithaok you for the assiduity with which you have applied yourselves to the consideration of a measure framed for the purpose of checking the undue assumption of JSccolesiastical Titles conferred by a Foreign Power . It gives me the highest satisfaction to find that , while repelling unfounded claims , you have maintained inviolate the great principles of religious liberty so happily established among us .
The attention you have bestowed oa the administration of justice in the courcs of law and equity , will , I trust , prove beneficial , and lead to further improvement * . I have willingly given my consent to a bill relating , to the administration of the land revenues of the crown , which will , I hope , conduce to the better management , of thut department , and at the same time tend to the promotion of works ol public utility . It has been very gratifying to me , on an occasion which haa brought many foreigners to this country , to observe the spirit oi kindness and goodwill which so generally prevailed . It is ray anxious desire to promote among na tions the cultivation of all those ' arts wliich are fostered by peacQ , and which in their turncoBtribute to m&inUin the peace or the world .
In closing the present session , it is with feelings of gratitude to Almighty God that I acknowledge the general spirit of loyalty and willing obedience to tue law which animates my people . Such iV apii'lt is the beefc security at once / or the progress and the stability of out- free and happy institutions . Upon the conclusion of the speech , the Lord Chancellor , in her Majesty's name , and by her Majesty ' s command , prorogued the Parliament to Thursday , the 4 th September next . The QueeD then left the house in the same order which she had entered it ; and the session of 1851—remarkable more for its long , angry ; and exciting debates , than fov the amount of legislative business transacted—was thus brought to a close .

COLLISION . WITH AN EXCURSION TRAIN , ¦ ON ~ THE-: GREA : l t : WESTEftN - RAILWAY ; * NEAR BRISTOL . nnx r . rernivr wtth am PYnnpcmMinnuv
• A railway cbllisidn occurred on Sunday morning , to a down excursion train by the Great Western Railway . Thy train was , oue of those undertaken by the Bristol Association , tor the purpose of conveying persons of the middle and working classes , at cheap rates , to and from the metropolis , «> o as to extend the advantages of the Great Exhibition of Industry . The '¦ f ares being low , so many persons availed themselves of it , that on their being despatched from Paddington , on the return trip , the train was divided into two parts . The first was despatched more than an hour before the other , and got down without mishap , and the second attained and passed Bath without anything occurring beyond
a very lengthened and blameable delay at Swindon , where they were detained , say some of the passengers , for a very considerable period . Atlenptn , after the down Kail had passed , they went on towards Bristol , passed through Bath , taking in water there , and steamed on very slowly so far as Fox ' s Wood just before the entrance of the No . 3 , Brislington tunnel , where either through the want of coke , or some mishap to the engine , the train broke down aud came to a standstill . It most unfortunately happened that there was a return engine and tender coming from Bath , and after the train had be * -n standing for about ten minutes , this engine , which was seen approaching by some of the passengers , ran into it from behind . Ttie collision is described
as having been a very violent one ; the passengers were thrown , forcibly against each other , receiving blows and contusions , and were besides greatly alarmed . Among some eighteen or twenty more or less injured were several respectable tradesmen ol Bristol , but it is gratifying to believe that there were no bones' broken , and that as all the parties were able on reaching the terminus to proceed to their homes no serious consequences . will result-Three or four of the carriages were very much broken . The engine driver states that _ he was coming slowly from Bath , but did not anticipate any obstruction , and that he was prevented from seeing the train till too close upon it to avoid running into it by a dense fog arising from the river which runs
alongside of the rail . The engineer and stoker of the return engine and the policeman on that portion of the line have been given into custody , to await an investigation of the matter . On Monday an inquiry was entered into at the Lamb and lark Ion , Keynsham , before Major James and Mr . H . E . Mynors , magistrates . The engine-driver , Thomas Coltman , and the fireman , John Wright , of the return engine from Bath , were brought up in custody , and charged , under the 7 th section of the Company ' s Act , with that they , being servants of the Great Western Railway Company , did , on the 10 th of August , negligently omit to stop an engine , whereby the lives and limbs of certain persons were injured or might have been
injured . The charge against the prisoners recited the facts of the case as they have already appeared ; the prisoners both pleaded guilty . Mr . Pigeon , solicitor , of Bristol , subsequently attended , and , remarking that he had been instructed to attend on the part of the prisoners , wished the case to be gone into ; this , however , the magistrates declined doing . The prisoners , in mitigation of punishment , averred that they did not see the signals till it was too late for them to pull up , and tliat although the night was foggy there were no detonating signals placed on theline , but they did not see . the first red light signifying danger , which it was alleged had been held up , and the next light ' they came to was a white one , which signified " go on . " The
magistrates said the prisoners had very properly pleaded guilty to this charge . There was no doubt they had been guilty of great negligence . The sentence was that Thomas Coltman , the engine-driver , be fined £ 5 , or one month ' s imprisonment with hard labour ; find Write , the fireman , jE 3 , or twenty-one days with hard labour . It would appear from inquiries since made that the effects of the accident were more serious than was at first supposed , and many complaints are made of the want of management which was apparent throughout the journey . The delay at Swindon is stated at two hours , and it is complained that none of the officials when
applied to seemed to know anything about the matter . VIr . Thomas Gibbs , who received injuries of the head , has manifested symptoms of concussion of the brain , and the wound on his forhead has divided a large vessel . Miss Ann Gibbs has also received in * juries of the head , which have rendered her insensible . A lady named Evans has received injuries of the leg , and it is feared that one of the small bones is fractured . Mr . Wade , jun ,, of Park-atreet , has a wound of the cheek ; a lady named Melson has a fracture of the knee cap ; and Mr . Newcombe , printer , Mr . Sullivan , glass dealer , and several others , were considerably hurt .
