ROLLS COURT--YESTERDAY.
Walton v. Hedges
Sergeant Lawson. with whom was Mr. O'Brien,
moved in this case for an injunction to restrain the
respondent, the Hon. Mr. White Hedges, from
proceeding under a civil bill ejectment decree, against
the petitioner, or interfering with his possession. He
stated that the petition was filed to obtain the specific
performance of an agreement for a lease, and it set forth
that in 1798, Mr. Robert Hedges, of Macroom, in the
county of Cork, and the Earl of Bandon, who were
jointly entitled in fee simple, made a lease of certain
lands to Thos. Walton, the father of the petitioner, for
three lives, at £40 a year. After the death of Thomas
Walton, the petitioner and another of his sons divided
the land and occupied them separately ; and afterwards,
in 1837, it was agreed between them and Mr. Hedges,
who had become solely entitled to the property, that
they should surrender the former lease, and take a new
lease, each of his portion for 99 years, or such terms as
Mr. Hedges should please to give each, paying himself
the forty pounds rent. As a proof that this was a mere
formal proceeding, for the purpose of effectually putting
and end to the former lease, the petition stated that the
process was served on the petitioner by the Rev. Mr.
Davies, a Protestant clergyman, who was then residing
with Mr. Hedges. The petitioner stated that Mr. Payne
wrote the agreement in a book, and that in 1841 he
gave the petitioner a copy of it, marked with his initials,
and gave him instructions in writing for the lease, which
was to be prepared by Mr. Morgan, the law agent of
Mr. Hedges. A lease was prepared, but was not
executed, owing to the illness of Mr. Hedges, who died
in 1841. The petitioner continued in his possession, and
he stated that previous to the agreement he had
expended £800 in the erection of a mill and machinery
on the premises, of which sum Mr. Hedges had lent him
£100 to be secured by a mortgage of the premises, and
that he afterwards expended £200 on the faith of the
agreement. In 1851 he applied to Mr. White Hedges,
the respondent, who was the representative of Mr.
Hedges Eyre [sic], to execute the lease, but he stated
that he was only a tenant for life ; and that he was
apprehensive he had no power to do so. Afterwards he
directed a case to be prepared for the opinion of the
Recorder of Cork, which opinion the petition stated was
favourable to petitioner, and which he stated he sent to
Mr. Hedges, and which was not returned. In 1859 a
notice to quit was served, and an ejectment was brought
at the Bandon Sessions, in which a decree was
pronounced, and the application now was to restrain the
respondent from proceeding upon that decree.
The Master of the Rolls granted the order for the
injunction.
No counsel appeared at the other side.

that in case Mr. O'Hagan was appointed Attorney-General, the

A DEFORMED and positively ugly individual named
Edward M'Namara alias Silk, somewhat about fifty
years old, was yesterday brought before the
Magistrates, by Constable Campbell, charged with
robbery and seduction. Mr. Blake who appeared for
the prosecution, stated the facts of the case :--The
prisoner had at one period been a schoolmaster, but
on being convicted of a criminal assault on a pupil of
his, was sentenced to ten years' penal servitude. While
undergoing this term of imprisonment, he learned the
trade of shoemaking, and on his release devoted his
attention entirely to it. Pusuing this avocation, he
became acquainted about a fortnight since with a
farmer's family named Barrow, living in the parish
of Ballinamona, by whom he was employed to make
three pair of shoes, and at whose house he put up
while so engaged. During his stay there, he induced a
member of the family, a very pretty little girl, only
fourteen years of age, to promise to come to Cork
with him holding out to her the bait of a situation
as a lady's maid in case she consented. Young and
guileless as she was, she did consent. Accordingly, on
Sunday morning last, both left the house, and on
arriving in this town, up to Wednesday morning, lived
in a lodging house in Blarney lane, she bringing with
her some articles of dress, and other matters not her
property. On Wednseday her uncle made an application
to the magistrates to have the prisoner arrested,
and by their direction the Constabulary kept a
look out for him, Constable Campbell succeeding in
the same evening in taking him into custody. The
charge of seduction was not, yesterday entertained,
but that of robbery was, and the Magistrates, after
hearing the particulars of it, ordered information to
be taken against him.

PRACTICAL JOKE.--Some ingenious person having become
possessed of a blank form of summons as issued at the
Police office, determined to cause some fun by it, at the
expense of a victualler named Denis Nolan, residing in
Shandon-street. He accordingly filled it in the usual way,
assigning the part of complainant to Thomas Ahern,
Dominick-street, who charged defendant, Nolan, with
assaulting him with intent to do him bodily harm. It was
dated Monday, the 11th, and was signed by Mr. Daniel
Leahy, one of the justices ; the complaint being fixed for
hearing on Thursday, 14th. The summons thus filed was in
due time served on defendant who, whether from some
intimation or suspicion that the document was not genuine,
at three o'clock on Wednesday, enquired for Mr.
Humphrey's clerk, if it had been issued by that court he
himself not being conscious of the existence of any
grounds to found the charge stated therein. The clerk at
once satisfied Nolan that the document was a forgery, but
conceiving that tricks of this nature should not be
encouraged, he, with the concurrence of the bench,
learned from him the names of those whom he suspected
to be party to the joke. These were desired by Head-
constable Carey to attend at the Police-office yesterday,
and give all the information they knew in reference to the
summons ; but they probably did not consider themselves
bound to appear on such a notice as that given, and did
not attend.

AT three o'clock yesterday, a victualler named Patrick
Cox was summoned by Sir John Arnott, Mayor, for
keeping lighted in Market-lane a timber fire, which was
injurious to the complainant's property, and dangerous to
the lives and property of those living in the vicinity.
Evidence was given by Mr. Higginson, an assistant in Sir
John's employment, that the fire which was never used up
to the last few days, did considerable injury to the bonnet
ware-room immediately over defendant's stall, and if
continued, would cause danger to life and property. Mr.
Perrier, agent of the company in which the Mayor's
premises are insured, stated that he inspected the place in
which the fire complained of was kept, and believed that if
allowed to be lighted there, it would be attended with
danger to the adjoining property. Mr. Gillman, solicitor,
who appeared for the prosecution, applied to have
informations taken against defendant. The applicaton was
granted, and defendant was admitted to bail.

AT the Police Office yesterday, Mr. Samuel Newsom, grocer,
Patrick-street, was summoned at the suit of the Corpotation,
for obstructing Patrick and Marlboro' streets with scaffolding
erected in front of his premises. Mr. Barry M'Mullen, builder, was
also summoned for not removing same after received due notice to
do so. Mr. Blake, who, with Mr. Gillman, represented defendants,
proposed that the case be adjourned for another week by which time
his clients hoped the building would be completed, and the
obstructions complained of would be removed. At present if they
were removed persons passing by would be injured in case any
quantity of the molten lead which is used in the upper portion of
the building fell. In reply to the bench, Mr. Tracy, on the part
of the corporation, said he would be most happy to agree to the
proposition made, but that a similar one had been made to the
Improvement Department twice before, and violated. Mr. Julian, on
behalf of Messrs. Crowly, Vuille, Reeves, neighbours of Mr. Newsom,
also objected to any further time being allowed defendants, as the
period already consumed, 18 months, in building this house has
been most unreasonable, and should not be extended. His clients
and other shopkeepers in the vicinity had lost considerably by these
obstructions, and their business is to a very great extent gone.
Besides, it could be proved that defendants have been completely
trifling with the public, for at their caprice, the work of three
days, when not pleasing to the taste of Mr. Newsom, has been
pulled down in a few minutes. In such circumstances he thought it
would not be fair to give them any further indulgence. The Bench
seemed to consider Mr. Blake's propositon one that ought be
agreed to, and said they would enter a conviction against
defendants, which would be enforced that day week if the
obstructions were not taken away in the meantime.

NARROW ESCAPE OF MR. BLAKE, M.P., FROM DROWNING.

We mention cursorily in our last issue that one of the Hon. Members for
this city had a very narrow escape from drowning in Tramore, on Tuesday.
We learn that Mr. Blake went to bathe at a time when the tide was full
out, and at low water spring tides the water recedes so far as to bring
some dangerous holes within reach. These holes are formed by the violent
action of the waves during storms, and are not always in the same spot.
Mr. Blake was in company with Master Gallwey, son of Henry Gallwey, Esq.,
who remained on shore in charge of Blake's dog, and while doing so he
perceived Mr. Blake struggling in the water, and gave the alarm to a
bathing man, named Kelly, who immediately got the life buoy, which was so
kindly provided some years since by the late Mrs. W. Malcomson, and which
is always kept ready at No. 1 bathing box, and which has been the means of
saving many lives. Some little delay occurred in consequence of the
fouling of the line, but Kelly threw off his boots, and rushed with the
life buoy into the water, and flung it to Mr. Blake, who had twice sunk,
and rose to the surface just in time to seize the buoy, and he was drawn
from the deep water by the line attached to it. On reaching Kelly he was
so faint as to be unable to stand, and that man and his son carried him
ashore, where he was robed, swathed in flannel, and took some brandy,
which revived him. Had it not been for the prompt assistance, the result
might have been fatal.--Waterford Mail.

SELLING IMPROPER BOOKS.--At Bow-street, on Saturday, William Dugdale and
Henry Smith were charged with selling obscene prints and books, and having
them in their possession. Dugdale had been apprehended at the instance of
the Society for the Suppression of Vice in his shop in Holywell-street,
and Smith in a branch business at Russell-court. The officers had made a
seizure of the stock at both places, which contained a large number of
infamous prints. They also seized several letters received by Dugdale from
persons in different stations in life in answer to his advertisements, and
enclosing postage stamps for his publications, and complaining that they
had never received them. One of them, a lady, at Edinburgh, complained
that she had written and enclosed stamps twelve months ago for a book. She
demanded the work or the return of her money. Another correspondent
expressed great anxiety lest his letters should be returned through the
post to his private address ; and a gentleman of property, in another
instance, offered to return at a reduced price some very rare books,
which he had purchased at from three to five guineas each. Mr. Henry
committed both prisoners for trial.

POLICE OFFICE--THIS DAY.
-------
(Before Messrs. MAGUIRE, M.P., D. LEAHY, WOOD and
PERRIER.)

CONSTABLE HOSFORD brought up Michael Keeffe on
suspicion of being a deserter from H.M.S. Hawke. The
Constable said that on Saturday the sergeant-at-arms
left at Tuckey-street station a description of a deserter
named Wm. Corcoran, and at one o'clock yesterday
morning, meeting with the prisoner on Parliament
Bridge, he took him into custody, his description
corresponding with that of the deserter in question.

The prisoner denied he was a deserter, and said he
had leave to be absent from the Hawke. If the constable
went down to the ship with him, he would see whether
what he stated was true or not.

The Bench ordered Keeffe to be taken to his ship.

Two ill-looking fellows, supposed to be returned
convicts, named Jeremiah Scannell and Alfred Jones,
were brought up by Constable M'Ardle, charged with
breaking into the house of Mr. Daniel Flyn, Castle-st.,
and stealing therefrom some articles of wearing apparel.

Prosecutor stated that, returning home about half-past
ten o'clock on Saturday night, he saw the prisoners
looking through his shop window and knowing one of
them, Jones, to have been in before for robbery,
watched them until both went away. The robbery of his
house, he was told, occurred at half-past 4 o'clock
yesterday morning.

The constable, in reply to the bench, said Jones was a
returned convict, and had also been in the army. He
likewise thought Scannell was a returned convict, and
was lately arrested on suspicion of being concerned in
another burglary. As the case against them was not at
present sufficiently mature, he applied for a remand until
Saturday, which was granted.

Johanna Sheehan, a country girl, was charged with
stealing on Saturday a dress, the property of Mrs. Leary,
a stall-holder in the Bazzaar Market. Constable Gooney,
who took the prisoner into custody, said the prosecutrix
declined coming forward to prosecute.

The prisoner was accordingly discharged.

The same Constable brought up a woman named Ellen
Brien, charged with stealing £3 and a purse from the
person of Mrs. M'Swiney, Banduff. The offence was
committed on a Saturday evening in Mr. Martin's shop,
Winthrop-street, while the lady was making some
purchases there.

The prisoner was remanded till to-morrow, on the
constable's application.

Anne Prendergast, a girl of the town, was sentenced
to 14 days' imprisonment for being disorderly in Cook-
street on Saturday night. Constable Graham had the
prisoner in charge.

Florence M'Carthy, a carrier in the employment of
Mr. Sutton, coal merchant, was fined 1s. for furiously
driving through Winthrop-street on Friday. Mr. Walker,
on the part of the Corporation, attended to prosecute,
and one of the street police proved the offence.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE CORK EXAMINER

SIR,--As the good and true people of Cork, as also those of the provinces,
are naturally anxious to know when the remains of that brave, fearless,
and faithful Irishman, Terence B. MacManus, shall have arrived in our
city, I beg to inform them through your columns, that I received papers
and letters from New York yesterday and this day, stating that his remains
were to be put on board the City of New York, one of the Inman line of
steamers, on Friday last, and on the following day (Saturday, the 5th
instant) she was to have sailed. This steamer being a first-class,
powerful and fast ship, will be likely to arrive at the Cove of Cork on
Wednesday, the 16th, or Thursday, the 17th. On the vessel's arrival his
remains will be taken to the Catholic Church of Cove ; on the following
day, a requiem solemn High Mass will be celebrated by the truly good an
patriotic Bishop of Cloyne, Doctor Keane, and his faithful priests. After
the ceremony the body will be conveyed to Cork, where it will remain until
Sunday, when the funeral procession through tyhe principal streets of the
city will take place. When this brave and generous man resided in
Liverpool, no Irishman in distress, or as the phrase has it, hard up, ever
applied to him in vain ; his warm and generous heart could not refuse what
his strong right hand appeared so willing to give. He knew no distinction
of creed or class. On the same principle, I trust, his countrymen of all
sects and political opioons will assemble on Sunday, the 20th of October,
to do honour to his remains. In a few days our committee will publish a
programme of the funeral arrangements, procession, &c. &c.

I am, your obedient servant,
EDWARD O'SULLIVAN.

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.

YESTERDAY, when the outward bound steamer Arabia had just come to
her moorings in Cork Harbour, one of the stokers, a man named
Peter Scully, a native of Cork, incautiously approached too
near the machinary, while it was still in motion, for the purpose
of oiling it, and being caught in it, he was drawn further in, and
in an instant the lever struck him on the head, jammed it against
another portion of the works, and crushed it fearfully. The works
were stopped as quickly as possible and the unfortunate man was
drawn out. He was immediately attended to by the surgeon of the
ship, and was subsequently carried on shore to the hospital at
Queenstown, but his injuries are of such a nature that his
recovery is deemed hopeless.

DERRYMACASH REVIVED.

LURGAN, 1ST OCT--To-day being Lurgan petty sessions day, and it
having been rumoured that summonses would be applied for against a
large number of Roman Catholics for riot, assault, and participation
in the fatal affray on the 12th July, 1860, at Derrymacash, the
court-house was densely crowded. Mr. Sheals, of Belfast, appeared
on behalf of the Catholics, but the Orangemen were not represented,
although it is believed that two legal gentlemen had been employed
by them. Only five of the Orange party appeared, and after having
been examined by the presiding magistrates, summonses were granted
against Charles M'Cann, Terence M'Ilduff, James Doon, Alice M'Ilduff,
Catherine Doon, Denis Stewart, and Murtagh M'Ilduff. It is worthy
of remark that Charles M'Cann is the man who was seriously wounded
and crippled for life, and that the individuals who have now come
forward after a lapse of 15 months acknowledged having been in the
procession, and two of them are only a short time out of Armagh
gaol, after having been convicted at the assizes of riot and
unlawful assembly. After some deliberation, the bench decided on
issuing the summonses on Thursday next, when a special day will
be appointed for hearing. The magistrates were--Messrs. Miller,
R.M., Hancock and Greer. The renewal of the affair has caused
considerable excitement here.--Freeman

BURGLARY--Yesterday morning the establishment of Mr. Joseph
Wright, at the corner of Patrick-street and Grand Parade
presented the appearance of having been broken into the previous
night, and a cash box in the office containing 15s. 10d. was found
to have been carried off. A pane of glass had been removed from
over the hall door leading into Patrick-street, and another pane
from a small window over that, through which it was supposed the
burglar had entered, and the staple of the door on the way from
thence to the shop was found to have been wrenched away. Head-
Constables Roe and Mills examined the place closely yesterday,
and came to the conclusion that no burglary had been committed,
and that the party who had committed the robbery was inside. The
principal manager of the establishment had placed a large sum in
the desk in the office the day before, but had taken the precaution
of removing it in the evening, but whether the guilty party or
parties had been led on by the hope of obtaining this or not is
not quite certain.

A BOY BITTEN BY A DOG--Yesterday several boys were playing about
Church-street, when the cap of one of them was thrown by another
into a yard belonging to Mr. Fitzgerald. A little fellow named
Edward Naughton undertook to recover the cap, and got over a wall
into the yard for that purpose, but the minute he reached the
ground at the other side he was attacked by two ferocious
bulldogs, and before he could escape, the calf of one of his
legs was severely lacerated by their teeth. He was conveyed to
the North Infirmary.

deceased was destined to be, an account of the circumstances of
his death, in which he speaks of him as a bereaved father of his
dearest child. In all relations of life he obtained the love of
those with whom he came in contact, and he is deeply regretted by
a large circle of friends. R.I.P.

QUEENSTOWN PETTY SESSIONS.
-----------
At three o'clock, yesterday evening, before Mr.
Tarrant and Captain Martin, Richard Wake, a sailor
on board the Great Eastern, brought a charge
against the commander, Captain Walker, of ill
treatment. Mr. P. Barry appeared for Wake, and
Mr. H. H. O'Bryen for the defendant. The
particulars of the case were that, on Monday, Wake
asked the chief mate for liberty to go on shore to
see a magistrate, and he was refused it. The
following day he repeated his request, and was then
put in irons from eleven o'clock in the day until
seven o'clock on Tuesday, and subsequently
threatened to be put in irons again if he did not go
about his business. He did not ask the Captain the
liberty he required, because it was an understanding
amongst the crew that the Captain could only be
communicated with through the officers. For the
defence the chief mate, John M'Allister, stated that
the complainant could, if he had chosen, have
addressed the Captain. The magistrates considering
the charge against Captain Walker was not
maintained, dismissed it. Afterwards the
complainant swore informations against John
M'Alister, chief mate, and Robert Hayes,
boatswain, of the Great Eastern, for having, without
justifiable cause, placed him in irons. The case will
be heard on Monday next.

GAME PROSECUTION.

MR. DRINAN, solicitor, attended to prosecute James
Grant and William Carey, assistants in Mr. Fitzgibbon's
establishment, under the 27th Geo. III., chap. 35, sec.
10, for entering upon the lands of Coole, to look for
hares, not being authorized to do so, whereby they
incurred a penalty of £10 each.

John Martin, game-keeper to Mr. George Francis
Wise, proved, that on Sunday, the 22nd of September,
he saw the defendants beating for a hare on the lands of
Coole ; that they had four greyhounds, and that they had
not permission to enter upon the lands.

Mr. Blake, solicitor, appeared for the defendants, and
after cross-examination of the witnesses, contended that
as the defendants did not start a hare they were not liable
to any penalty under the act, which was a penal one. He
then proceeded to examine William Kenefick, to show
that the defendants were trespassing without guilty
knowledge, and that they thought they were on the lands
of Mr. Justin M'Carthy, of Carrignavar, from whom they
had permission to course.

The Bench taking into consideration the circumstances
in life of the defendants fined them in the mitigated
penalty of £4 and costs.

MIDLETON QUARTER SESSIONS--YESTERDAY.
--------------
(Before Mr. THOMAS DE MOLEYNS, Q.C., Chairman,
and the following Magistrates :--Lord Mountcashel,
Col. Roche, Messrs. Knaresborough, R.M.; and N.
Brown, R.M.)

Captain Jonathan Morgan v. Denis Downing, Robert
Walsh, John Foley, John Sullivan, Walter
Prendergast, and William Connors.

The offence with which the traversers, who had been
out on bail, and seemed to be all respectable young men,
were charged was that of unlawful assembly and riot,
and assaulting prosecutor, on the night of 23d August.
The sworn information of the prosecutor stated that he
was Captain in the 97th Regiment ; was staying at the
time of the alleged assault at Carrol's hotel, Fermoy, and
at present stationed at Colchester. About 12 o'clock on
the night in question he was, in company with another
gentleman, about leaving the billiard-room of Cahill's
hotel, for the purpose of going to his lodgings, when he
received information that parties were watching him
outside. He accordingly went out by a back entrance,
and on reaching the street was met, struck and knocked
down by several persons, amongst whom were the
traversers. He knew no cause for the assault, except a
quarrel that was said to have taken place between his
brother and one of the prisoners, for whom he himself
was told he called about a week since, but did not
remember anything about it.

After the prisoners had been arraigned, Lord
Mountcashel said that as there was a family connection
between him and prosecutor he would retire from the
bench during the hearing of the case.

His Worship thought that Lord Mountcashel was
acting as a gentleman in taking no part in the decision of
the bench, though there was no immediate connection
between himself and the prosecutor.

Mr. W. M. Johnson, counsel, said that before the
traversers pleaded in the case, Captain Morgan for
whom he appeared, was satisfied with the expression of
regret made by the traversers for what had occurred on
the occasion in question. They regret what they did, they
agree to pay the expenses attending the civil action usual
in such cases, and offer to give a sum of money towards
any charity prosecutor may choose. Of course, his client
did not wish to interfere with the rights of the Crown, but
as far as the private prosecution is concerned he retires
from it.

His Worship--I am sure that is what Captain Morgan
would wish. The matter now rests entirely with the
Crown, in whose hands it is. . . .

Jeremiah Loughlin and John Murphy, having
pleaded guilty to rescuing two cows, two horses, and
two calves, arrested under a civil bill decree, and to
assault, were each sentenced to 14 days' imprisonment.

Mr. Moore, solicitor, Midleton, addressed the bench
in mitigation of punishment.

The Court was occupied the rest of the day in hearing
ejectment cases.

THE following, which we take from the Constitution of
this morning, affords a striking commentary upon the
observation which we thought it necessary to address in
the Examiner of last evening to the ratepayers of the
city:--
WATCH AND WARD.
A meeting was held at Mr. GALVAN'S, Castle-street.
yesterday evening, for the purpose of adoptoing
measures for the preservation of property of the
inhabitants of Corn Market-street, Castle-street, and
Daunt's-square. Mr. J. R. WILLIAMS, auctioneer,
presided. Several of those present gave a very bad
character of the present watchman, TIM CALLAGHAN. It
appeared that he gets about £1 a week from the
householders in the streets mentioned, yet he is extremely
neglectful of their interests, and a great drunkard. On
Sunday night, the night after the late burglary at Mr.
O'FLYN'S, Castle-street, he was watched, and found not
to come on his beat at the proper hour. Some of those
who were paying him went to his house, and asked for
him, but he was denied to them. On a second visit he
was found talking to his wife, and was believed to be
after a drunken spree. Mr. E. COTTER, Corn Market-
street, stated his premises had been broken into six times
last winter, owing to the negligence of the watchman. Mr.
CLANCY, Daunt's Square, said that a lodger in his house
named RIELY had seen CALLAGHAN assist some prostitutes
to rob a man. He knocked the man down with his stick,
and held him while the women were robbing him, and
when the police came up he helped to take the man to
the bridewell. Mr. COTTER said a woman named FOLEY
had told him that she had seen him in another robbery.
After some conversation about the general worthlessness

CORONER'S INQUEST.
---------
KILLARNEY, TUESDAY.--An inquest was held this day at
the Courthouse on the remains of a young lad named
M'Carthy, son to Tim M'Carthy, boatman and fisherman
at the Lake Hotel. It seems from the evidence, which
was adduced before Mr. John C. O'Riordan, coroner,
that a dispute took place at the Lake Hotel, about two
months ago between the deceased and a young boy
named Mike O'Connor, son of Mr. Jeremiah O'Connor,
in the employment of the Lake Hotel ; that the quarrel
terminated by O'Connor inflicting a few kicks on the right
thigh of the deceased, from the affects of which the
deceased was unable to leave his bed, and died last
Sunday. O'Connor on the same evening was arrested.
The jury returned the following verdict : "We find that
the deceased, James M'Carthy, died in Killarney on the
6th of October, from the effects of an abscess on the
thigh and disease of the thigh bone ; but whether such
abscess arose from the injuries inflicted on him by
Michael O'Connor as alleged, there is no evidence
before us to show."

BRUTAL ASSAULT ON A YOUNG GIRL AT GLOUCESTER.--On
Saturday the county magistrates at the Shire-hall,
Gloucester, proceeded with the examination of seven
persons charged with a most brutal and outrageous
assault on a young girl named Dorca Davis, about
eighteen years of age. The names of the accused
are--William Bowen Alston, aged 18 ; Hy. Chandler, of
Gas-lane, 18 ; Joseph Parker, 15 ; Thos. Wheeler, 14 ;
Charles Alcock, 17 ; George Cox, 20 ; and Wm.
Harris, 17. The court was densely crowded, the case
having excited a great sensation in the neighbourhood,
owing to its atrocious and filthy character. It appeared
that the girl had been all day at the Mop fair at
Gloucester, on Monday last, in company with Rosanna
Toombs and H. Hopkinson. In returning home about
eleven o'clock from the fair, about a dozen men and
boys overtook them. They threw her down and behaved
in the most disgusting manner towards her. The details
are quite unfit for publication. After receiving
considerable injuries, she was at length able to escape
from them. It was proved by the surgeon who examined
her that she had been much injured, and that a capital
offence had been committed. The prisoners were
committed for trial.--Star of yesterday.

SPIRIT LICENSES

Eugene Ahearn, 37, George's-street, applied for the
transfer of a license from Michael O'Sullivan. Michael
O'Sullivan was in possession of the house till a recent
period.

Mr. Blake opposed on behalf of the vintners, and
stated that in this case several applications had been
put in for the transfer of this license to various parties,
the person disposing of it thus making a traffic in it,
and trying to secure one application if the other failed.
There were several other applications before the
Court from different parties for the transfer of this
license to them.

The applicant, Eugene Ahearn, was sworn and
examined by Mr. Gregg, and deposed that he was in
actual occupation of the house for the last week, and
was making repairs in it. The transfer was bona fide
to him.

His Worship said he would grant the transfer.
Although what Mr. Blake stated might be true, still it
was evident that this man was in actual possession of
the house, and he would grant the transfer to him.

Henry Thomas Hyde, 17, Military Road, applied
for the transfer of a license, formerly held by a man
named Barrett, in the above house. It appeared that
Barrett had transferred the license to a man named
Falvey, on account of debt he owed him, and that
Falvey had made it over to the present applicant.

Mr. Blake contended that this mode of transfer was
illegal, and could not be carried out. Falvey never
came into possession of the license at all, the transfer
not having been ratified by his worship, and therefore,
could not transfer it.

Owing to some difficulty as to the dates of the two
transfers, his Worship held over the case to hear
further evidence.

Michael Mahony applied for a license for a house in
Devonshire-street. Mr. M. J. Collins said that in this
case there was really no new license, as the applicant,
on a former occasion, held a license for a place called
the Clarendon, in Winthrop-st. When he gave up that
place he did not sell his license, or transfer it, or do
anything but let it lie in simple abeyance. Its place was
never supplied ; and, therefore, although it was an
application for a new license, it was really no addition
to the number. . . .

dead. Dr, Beamish was examined, and stated that in his

officers of the Bridewell were in no way to blame for the
man's death, and that they had made every effort, before
