      GLASGOW . AUTUMN CIRCUIT . On this occasion the cale uJar consisted of 80 cases , in . which 163 per . ons v . -Qxn implicated . Xone of the cases presented any peculiar features of inierest or aggravation , it' we except charges of a disgusting , character , which seem to be on the increase . Three men were convicted " of rape , or intent , and sentenced variously to imprisonment for six months , transportation for seven years , and transportation for fourteen years . Agjrl , named Mary Gray , "was sentenced to transportation for life , for commission of the crime of incest with her father , Daniel Gray . The man had absconded , and was outlawed . Another man , named Smellie , also accused of the crime of incest , \\ as outlawed for non-appearance . The racst

      interesting cases were those of engine-men charged with cttlpnttl&Junmcide , or culpable neglect of duty . Casr > s of death by negligence of this kind nave of late largely increased ia the mining districts ; and the authorities seem determined to put a stop to them iflhe law can effect it .. Robert Rowatt , engiueman at the co al-pitat Kawyards , 2 sewr Mpnklands , was charged with culpably losing command of . hi $ engine , by which three men , named Martin . M'Laclilan , ami Marshall , were dashed to the bottom ill the bucket . Martin was killed on the spot , and the two others severely injured . After a long trial , the jury brought in a verdict of culpable neglect of duty , ' but at the same time recommended the prisoner to mercy on account of his previous good character . -Lord Cotkbnrn passed

      sentence of imprisonment for twelve months , &tating that if the jury hud found the man guilty of culpable homicide , the sentence would have been , one of transportation . Previous good character on the part of a prisoner . should no doubt be considered , but at the same time they should not forget that a very decent man by . a single act of negligence might turn a railway switch the wrong way , by which hundreds of people in < ylit be hurried t <> destruction , ' iliomas Morton , tngmeman at Hamilton Farm , was brought up on a similar charge of losing command of his engine , by which a man named Walter Anderson " was killed by the bucket and n > pe falling on the top of him . This panel was also convicted of culpable neglect of duty , and sentenced to one vears imprisonment .

      ,. . Interested Defenders ov fnE Pooii— A deputation of tradesmen occupying shops in Clare-street , Clare-market , headed by . Mr . Scrivener , the butcher , waited lipon Mr . Henry ; wit ha lfieinorial , signed by twentyfour out of the twenty-six inhabitants of the street , begging that the poor people who kept the stalls in front of their nouses might be allowed to continue their vocation . —Jlr . Henry wished it to be . undorstnod that he was not the executive in this matter . Complaints were iniile by some tradesmen in the neighbourhood , and also by inhabitants of other parts of the metropolis , who wished to use Clare-street as ait easy mode of ' getting from the Strand to Lincoln ' s-inn-fields ' , but were at present unable to effi-ct a passage , owing to the obstruction « au > ed bv stalls and crowds collected

      in that street . Now , a recent act of Parliament authorised magistrates to inflict certain penalties on any and every person " who shall expose anything for sale , or hang anything over a carriage or foot-way , so as to cause an annoyance or obstruction to ~ aiiy thoroughfare , " -fee , and , in the event of any complaint being made and presseu , " the magistrate had no alternative but to carry out the directions of the Act of Parliament . This was his public duty ; . .. but he ( Mr .,. Henry ) might as well express his private opinion also , that . these stalls in the crowded streets of'London were a very great nuisance ; although ,. . when . " originally permitted , the traflic might have been so . much smaller * as to make the nuisance of less moment ,. ' The act , was passed , however , because the increased traffic in these streets rendered it necessary . Another of the deputation ( a publican ) complained that he had invested his capital in the

      premises now occupied by him with the understanding that the . market would be continued as of old . The only parties wlio " complained really were the tradespeople in . the neighbouring street , who fancied they were injured by their customers going to the stall-keepers . Mr . Henry Wid it might be taken for granted , as a general rule , that people did not trouble themselves much about a matter , without having some personal interest in it . ^ Possibly the tradesimin alluded to liad taken up the matter in this spirit ; and , on the other hand , it was clear that if these crowds were removed from Clave-street , it would be a great loss to the publicans . However , he liad no feeling in the matter . If complaints were made , the Jaw lriust be enforced , and the police could hardl y be' sanctioned in enforcing regulations for the management of the stall's for that would be giving a limited sanction to the nuisance . After some further discussion of a similar character , the deputation withdrew ..
