s UMMAR Y OF PjjRL IAMENT. (Continued from our last Page HOUSE OF LORDS.—TUESDAY. Petitions from the University of Oxford against the Thirty-nine Articles Bill were presented by the Duke of Weilaiiiatoii and Lord Kenyoii. The Seaman's Voluntary Enlistment Bill and the Offences against the Person Bill, were brought up from the Commons. The Duke of CUMBERLAND having put some c questions relative to the building of the new Houses of Parliament. Lord DUNCANNON entered into some state- ments, which proved that great diversity of opinion existed amongst architects, builders, and surveyors, as to the safety of the ruins of St. Stephen's Chapel, and the possibility of preserving those beautiful remains. Under these circumstances his lordship intended to ad- vise his Majesty not to sanction any further proceedings without additional information. At the suggestion of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland, Lord DUNCANNON consented that the various reports on the subject should be laid before the House. The Loan Societies Bill was reported. Some conversation ensued on the delays occasioned in CommittecsofPrivtIeges by the non-attendance of the requisite number of peers, but nothing definitive was aivjtnged to remedy cij,, nuegeu grievance. Lord RADNOR moved the second reading of the Thirty-nine Articles Bill- Tbe Archbishop of CANTERBURY moved, as an amendment, that the Bill be read a second time that dav six months. Tile Bishops of Llandaff and Gloucester, and the Duke of Wellington, spoke in support of the amend- of ment, and Lord Melbourne and the Duke of Richmond in favor of the Bill- On a division, the measure was rejected bv a ma- ioritv of 106, there being Contents • 28 Proxies —57 Non-contents Non-contents s i-) Proxies 78—163 Their lordships adjourned at half-past nine.

HOUSK OF COMMONS.—TUESDAY. I MORNING S!TTING. The notion that the House resolve itself into a Committee on the Cruelty to Animals Bill was car- ried on a division by 30 against 16. Clause 1 was can-ied. Clause 2 was then amended, hut Nos. 3, 4, 5, and 6 were struck out, after which the Chairman reported progress, and it being three o'clock the Speaker left the chair. EVENING SITTING. Lord LOWTHLR moved for certain returns con- nected with the Post Otiiee, which gave rise to a dis- f cussion 011 the management of that department. The rebuilding of the Houses of Parliament was made the subject of a briet coversation, and Mr EWART gave notice that on Tuesday next he } would again call the attention of the House to this topic. Mr CHARLTON withdrew his motion relative to a breach of privilege by the \I<>rnin</ Chronicle. On the motion of Lord J. RUSSELL (pro forma) the House went into Committee upon the Municipal Corporations Bill, to which several new clauses were appended. The Bill, in its amended state, was then ordered to be printed. In answer to a question from Colonel Sibthorpe, The ATTORNEY-GEN ERAX, gave notice that he would move the second reading of the Ecclesiastical Courts Bill as soon as the Bill was printed. Mr C. BULLER postponed his motion for the pro duction of papers relative to the Mauritius. The hon. member gave notice that he would bring it forward on the 13th of August next. I Mr BUXTON's motion for a Committee to inquire into the treatment of aborigines in British settlements, was agreed to. Mr EWART's motion for a Select Committee to in- quire into the best means of extending a knowledge of the arts, and the principles of design, among the manu- facturing population of the country; and also to in- quie into the constitution of the Royal Academy, and the effects produced by it, was acceded to. Mr BUCKINGHAM'S motion for leave to bring in Bills to authorise the purchase of lands for the purpose of making public walks, gardens, and places of recrea- tion in the open air, in the neighbourhood of all towns, for the use of the population generally; and to authorise the erection of public institutions to embrace the means of diffusing literary and scientific information, and forming libraries and museums in all towns, for the use of the inhabitants of the same, was agreed to. Mr BUCKINGHAM withdrew his motion for leave to bring in a Bill for the better classification of publjc- houses, and for improving the regulations affecting the same, with a view to the better preservation of the public health and morals. Mr GISBORNE's motion for the re-appointment of a Select Committee to consider the claims of the Baron de Bode was rejected, on a division, by a majority of 177 against 59. Mr R. WASON's motion for the appointment of a Select Committee to inquire into certain allegations in petitions from Great Yarmouth, touching the manner of conducting the last election, was carried, after a most animated debate, on a division,by 186 against 132'. The nomination for the members of the Committee was postponed till this day, atHhe suggestion .of Sir Henry llardinge. Mr AGLIONBVs motion for a Select Committee to consider the petition from certain electors of the city of York, concerning bribery at the last election, was agreed to.—The House adjourned fit ten minutes past two.

HOUSE OF LORDS -IVFTDW FspAy. The Earl of LITCHFIELD presented returns which had been moved for by the Duke of Richmond, respect- ing a sum of £ 1,097,000, alleged to have been unac- counted for, being part of the revenue of the Post-office. The report of the Loan Societies Bill, with amend- ments, was received. ti In the House of Commons there were only 39 members present, so that the House adjourned till Thursday.

LA TE, S T INTE, L LIGEIVCE LONDON, THURSDAY. By the return of the Royal Tar Steamer, at Ports- mouth, from St. Sebastian, after landing her troops we have received the following official extraordinary Spanish Gazette:- On the morning of the 10th inst., the Royal Tar Steamer hove In sIght of the town; immediately tht inhabitants were on the alert, and proceeded in crowds to the shore to welcomc the landing of the British troons— the royal standard being hoisted on board the steamer, sa- lutes were fired from the different batteriesof the town. IB the evening- the recruits were landed amidst the acclama- a_ tions of the people. and ringing of the bells; the Spanish regiments of St. Fernando and Ovicdo, with the Urban Militia, were under arms to receive them, their bands playing "God save the King. The English recruits immediately proceeded to the qua-rlers prepared for them." The French telegraph aunounces that order had been re-established at Saragossa. There is nothing eUe of importance from S pain. By the Mutiue Packet from the West Indies, we have Jamaica papers to the 10ih ult., the packet having had a remarkably quick passage. The House of Assembly had been further prorogued by proclamation to the 21st of July. The influenza, which had prevailed at Kingston, had, we regret to say, extended itself to some of the neighbouring parishes. In St. David's, the apprentices Oil nearly every property werettnore or less suffer ing from it; on one estate the mill was obliged to be stopped, on account of the few hands that could be employed in the manufavtory. A fire had broken out on Mrs Caldwell's settlement, near Lamb River, which was evidently the work of an incendiary, aud the Negroes stood looking 011, positively refusing all assistance to extinguish the flames. A new town, to be called Seaford, in compliment to Baron Seaford, was about to be established in the neighbourhood of Lamb's River, and had, ill" fact, been commenced.

HOUSE OF COMMONs-TnuRsDJ\ Y. TWELVE O'CLOCK SITTING. The Speaker took the chair at twelve o'clock. The attendance of members was very numerous. Colonel L. HAY brought up the report of the com- mittee on the Trinity Harbour Bill, which was re- ceived. Colonel FRENCH presented a petition from Scar- borough aganist the Redgarth Harbour Bill. Severel petitions on private subjects and a few private bills were passed a stage. WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. On the motion of Lord EBRINGTON, the House resolved itself into committee on the Weights afvd Measures' Bill, Mr Pryme in the chair. The clauses gave rise to considerable discussion. The committee agreed to the first five, and were dis- cussing the sixth when our reporter left. Lord John Russell ami most of the Cabinet Ministers had interviews with the Premier this morning. Viscount Harberton has established his claim to vote for the representative peers for Ireland. The Vice Chancellor, yesterdiv, dissolved the injunction, with costs, which had been obtained by the Hon. Mrs Norton against Messrs Churton and Bull, booksellers, for publishing a work bearing the title of" The Coquet,.and other Tales," by that lady bciug, as the fair authoress contended, a reprint of certain tales written by her, and originally published in La Belle Assemblee.

MERTHYR TYDVIL, SATURDAY, July 18, 1835. It is not our intention to inflict upon our readers any detailed account of that horrible system of Theology which has so recently become the sub- ject of discussion, and the adoption of which, we think, has been satisfactorily brought home to the Romish Church, as it exists in Ireland. Our own occasional extracts from the Secreta Monita" of the Jesuits, tend also to illustrate the system, as more fully developed in Dens's Theology." In both cases, too, the disavowal of the works was the only refuge left for the priests-a refuge of lies indeed, which exhibited more fully their pro- ficiency in the School of Loyola-and illustrated the spirit with which they have so deeply drank the cup of abomination. Let Protestants, however, Le thankful that, as yet, they breathe a purer air, and enjoy a perfect Christian liberty—that they are not yet under the doniinion of that soul-enslaving creed, as degrading to our nature as corrupting to the mind, and as hostile to the best interests of all temporal government as it is subversive to all national freedom. But whilst thus thankful and rejoicing, let them not forget that they have duties to perform, and a Religion to defend, and that the aim and object of the Roman Catholics is to erect, upon the ruins of the Protestant Church,a Religion of which "Dens's Theology" is a proved text book- Towards this project'the Irish Appropria- tion Bill is a fittIng Instrument-it is the O'Conncll lever, by which the Church of Ireland is to be removed from its place. To effect this removal, Dissenters, Infidels, and Papists unite—and to resist this, Churchmen and Christians should ccmbine. It is a remarkable fact that the spolia- tion of the Irish Church is attempted at a period when it can be proved that the Protestant popu- lation is on the increase. We are far from con- tending that the temporalities of a Church are so interwoven with her existence that she must perish without them but we do maintain that to de- prive her of her endowments is materially to affect her usefulness, and that a due and adequate pro- vision for the instruction of a Christian people cannot be made without funds—that the revenues ofa Church are dedicated to God—that her minis- ters are hut stewards, and the. state is me protector —and that to divert these funds to secular purposes, much more to extend the dominion of darkness and error, is an impious sacrilege, against which every Christian is called upon to raise his voice. Shall we never learn wisdom from the past ? In robbing the Church, the Jacobins of the present day are but following the guilty precedent of the worst period of revolutionary France. Let the plunder of the Church begin, and the robbery of the nation will follow. Remember the sneer h of O'Connell at the cant ot national laith never was the cloven foot more recklessly exhibited than in that celebrated taunt. We are called upon to resist the spoliation of the National Church as the beginning of calamities, unlimited in extent, and of which 110 one can see the duration. A train of Revolutions will follow, each more sanguinary than the last, and in which every thing most dear to peer or peasant will be swept away. We call then upon all classes to make a stand against the tide of Revolution that has set in. There is no Englishman so obscure as not to have a great stake at issue. And as one mean to an end, we st, sound for the last time the note of preparation, and siiminon every man, who has a vote unregistered, to avail himself of the next twenty-four hours and effect his purpose and as it is not so generally known as it ought to be," we quote the language of a Standard we are proud to follow,— fi It is not generally known as it ought to be, that according to the twenty sixth clause of the Reform Bill, the owners of property, acquired by descent, succession, marriage, marriage settlement, devise, promotion to any benefice in the church, or promo- tion to any office, are entitled to a vcte (the same being claimed before the 20th of July), although the said property may have come into possession of the parties an hour only previous to the day of registra- tion. The prevailing notion, that a six month's possession is necessary, is altogether erroneous. Property acquired in any of the torms described, before twelve o'clock of the night of Sunday next,will give the franchise. Once again we say the words are, CHURCII AND KING, AND No POPERY.REGIS- TE It FORTHWITH."

The Bill ed by the Earl of Radnor, the object of which was to supersede subscription to the Thirty-nine Articles 011 matriculation at the Universities, was thrown out on Tuesday even- ing, by a large majority of the Lords, and we heartily rejoice that it has been thus disposed of. It was but another mode of opening the doors of the Universities to all persons, without reference to Religion, in fact, to iiii-elitireii the Universities. Now, in the construction of the London Univer- sity we have the admission of this truth, that it is impossible to introduce any system of education that can be called religious, and at the same time admit students of all modes of faith, and the conse- quence was that religion was excluded. Upon this point the Bishop of Llandalf was clear and unanswerable. His words are- The next point urged by the noble earl, was the hardship suffered by the Dissenters, in being partially excluded from the Universities, under the present ar- rangement. Now this, he must say, with all due res- pect, was a most futile complaint. He would refer to the opinion expressed on a former occasion by a noble lord in that House, that Religion was an indispensible part of a liberal education. It was well kuown, that when the London University was being established, thre was a desire to include a religious course, ifpQs- sible, amongst its advantages; but it was afterwards found to be impracticable to teach Rel gion so as to admit all to the benefit of instruction. In order, there- fore, to admit Dissenters of every shade of belief into its classes, the London University had beeu obliged to exclude Religion and,iu like manner, the Universities ofOiford and Cambridge, iu order to admit Religion into their course of instruction, had been obliged to exclude Dusenters." This matter, we think, should be left to the Uni- verities, if any explanation of the sense in which subscription to the Articles on matriculation can be more clearly defined; for it seems generally admitted that such subscription only involves an assent, that the Articles are agreeable to the Word of God. NVo think such attempts as that of Lord Radnor, would be made with less sympathy, either within or without the walls of Parliament. The present state of subscription is, in fact, the only tenable ground on which to impugn admission to the Universities. The Bill of Lord Radnor was rejected by a majority so overwhelming (lOG), ,y 11 that his Lordship will not, we suspect, be in a hurry to repeat his experiment.

We invite attention to a Letter from Mr Richards, in another part of our paper, and to the Bill for the erectioll ofa New Market at Merthyr, with an abstract of which that gentleman has kindly favoured us. We echo the sentiments of Mr Richards, and sincerely hope that this will he but the beginning of a series of improvements which will make the town of Merthvr i%,Il it, referring to its wealth. its population, and great local advantages, it ought long since to have been. L pon this point we hope we are speaking disinterestedly. owe but little to its patronage, and have no hope ofadvan- tage from its impr°vemen^i beyonA the patriotic feeling of seeing a place with which^ve are in any way connected, advance iu its soctiij condition and keep pace in the march of civilization. The public spirit of Mr Thomas entitles him to the best thanks of the best friends of Merthyr. He has manfully grappled with and surmounted all difficulties, and we are persuaded he will not Jose' his reward.

A new interest has been given to the trial of the political prisoners in Paris, by the escape of forty-one of them from St. lpelagie. They escaped by making a subterraneous passage from some vaults in which they were placed, into an adjoining garden. Some of them were retaken, but when the l»6t accounts left Paris, twenty-nine werd"still at large. Three others could have escaped, but declined to do so. A strong suspicion exists that ,the police con- nived at this evasion. We understand that those who mangel off intend to address a letter to the President, offering to return if assured of a fair trial. When we consider that these men have been six- teen months in gaol, and that it is probable that their trial would not come on for another year, it is impossible to blame them for their escape. All the Archbishops and Bishops of the Irish sees, with the exception of the able, learned, and pious Dr. Elrington, Bishop of Leighlin and Ferns, who, we lament to say, expired on Sunday, at Liver- pool, in the course of his route hither, have arrived in London. It is understood that these most reverend and right reverend prelates are likely to present a strong remonstrance against Lord Morpeth's Bill; and to proffer any present sacrifice that can be re- quired of them as a ransom, for the ultimate integ- riiy and safety of the Church. REGISTRATION, Monday, the 20th of this month, is the last day on which claims to vote for counties can be sent in. Persons qualified to vote for cities or boroughs are not required to send in any claim; but it will be necessary for them to see whether the overseers have inserted their names in the Jists which will be posted on the church-doors on the two Sundays next after the last day of this month. If any qualified person should find that his name has been omitted, then he must send in a notice of his claim to the overseers, .on or before the 25th of August. It is currenlly reported that since Lord Mel- bourne's visit to Windsor, his Majesty has intimated his disinclination to give private audience to any other member of the administration than Lord Duncanon.— Ledger. EFFECTS OF UNIONS—The Unionists in the potteries have determined not to allow women handlers lobe employed, a branch hitherto principally executed by females in the china trade, and to which they have generally served a regular apprehticeship. Women who have been in the habit of earning ten or twelve shillings per week will, by this arbitrary decision, be thus thrown out of employment, and the munufaettirer compelled to pay an increased rate of at least 100 per ceul. upon the usual pi-ice.-Birittinghatm Advertiser

On Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock, the javelin men having assembled at the Cardiff Arms Inn, the high-sherift proceeded from thence to the lodging of his Lordship, when his Lordship attended Divine Service. The prayers were very impressively read by the Rev. T. Stacey, after which, the Rev. Edward Thomas, Rector of Briton Ferrv, preached the Assize Sermon from the very appropriate text of 24 Proverbs, v. 21. My son fear thou the Lord and the King, and meddle not with them that are given to change." The Rev. gentleman insisted on the very close con- nexion of religious and political duties, and proved most forcibly that man was made subject to the Laws and to Civil-Government by the will of God. And the great tenor of a well-delivered and interesting discourse went to prove the utter imperfection of human laws which wanted religious principle. After hearing Divine Service performed, his Lordship directly proceeded to the Town Hall, when the fol- lowing gentlemen were sworn on the Grand Jury:- Sir JOHN MORRIS, Sketty Park, Bart. Foreman. J J, Bassett, Esq. Itichard Franklen, Esq. J. W. Beunett, Esq. Richard Hill, Esq. T. W. Booker, E.-q. John Homfray, E-q. J. B. Bruce, Esq. David Hopkin,, Esq. Walter Coiffn. Esq. R. F. Rickards, Esq. L. H. Davy, gsq. Robert Savours, Esq. Lewis Dillwyn, Esq. Llewellyn Traherne, Esq. Thomas Edmnndes, Esq. William Thomas, Esq. Robert Entwisle, Esq. F. Wheatley, Esq. The King's proclamation against vice and immorality was then read, and his Lordship proceeded to charge the Grand Jury.. His Lordship was exceedingly happy to state that the calendar was very light, and that on this important occasion it presented no particular case which called for any especial address from him. Any general obser- vations from him would be misplaced. Although he had been that circuit only once, he saw many faces that he recognised, and he was sure they were all too well acquanted with their duties to need any lengthened directions from him. Their duty was not only to see if the party accused was guilty, but to ascertain if there was a proper case for trial. In the present day there were not wanting persons who were of opinion that the institution of the Grand Jury might be dispensed with. They objected to it as unnecessary. They thought that if it were dropped altogether, justice might be carried on without it. He confessed that lie was not one of those. He did not agree with .them. A book had been written on the sub- ject, and published in London; indeed the opinion that the Grand Jury might be abolished was confined chiefly to London, and that was because prisoners had more than once escaped, after being committed, by means of the time that had elapsed before they were brought before the Grand Jury.- At present no person can be tried without a Bill being found and preferred by the Grand Jury. In misdemeanours, and certain cases where those most intimately concerned were taken before Magistrates and committed the case might as well go before the Jury at once, as have to go before a Grand Jury. But these were cases of murder &e. when, although prisoners were committed, there was no case, and if there were no Grand Jury the prisoners must be tried, when if they went before the Grand Jury, if there was no case they would be at once discharged and would be liable, in the event of new evidence, to be taken up again. Was it no advantage then, to a prisoner who was innocent, not to go before that bar? Surely it was if the party were really innocent. There would be found great inconvenience if the Grand Juries were abolished, and he for one hoped they would not. Malicious persons might, if the cases were not enquired into by tile Grand J rs, prompted by evil passions and malignant motives, do great injury to persons who were guiltless, and for this reason he hoped that Grand Juries never would be abolished. In other countries they were obliged to have recourse to public prosecutors, which this county never had. We had always had the protec- tion of a Grand Jury, which must consist of 12 or 23, and before whom a case must be made out to the satis- faction of twelve. In one case that he had known, where there were only thirteen, the case was only made out to the satisfaction of nine, a fact which lie did not ascertain until he had half tried the prisoner. Another advantage which Grand Juries possessed was, that they drew county gentlemen together at stated periods, to assist in the management of affairs, and in the administration of justice; and surely it was a great advantage to Judges like himself to see persons of wealth and rank around them on occasions like the present. lIe was one of those who thought that if a public prosecutor were to enquire into matters in the dark, and not in open court and in the light, as at present, that it wJuld tend much to dissatisfy the people, and that justly, for the people ought to be fully satisfied that the administration of justice was fair and open. lie hoped, therefore, that the institu- tion of Grand Juries would never be abolished. In London, as he had said before, there might be some inconvenience found, but it was easily done away with viz. empowering the foreman to send for deposi- tions and when the remedy was so easy, there could be no shadow of an excuse for destroviner the institution. Since they had last met, no Acts of Parliament had been passed which related to the adminstration of public just ice. There were some Bills in the House of that description, but it became not him to make any remark, or to express any opinion on them; not even, perhaps, after they had passed into law, certainly not till they had. There was, in the calendar, one case of some pecu- liarity—that ofa man charged with felony, and snapping a pistol, with intent to kill or otherwise injure. This charge must be understood to come under the 9th Geo. IV. which provided, that if any person attempted to discharge any loaded fire-arms at any other person, such person so attempting to be guilty of felony. In the case to which he (the learned Judge) called their attention, the prisoner having stolen some articles, threatened to shoot the persons pursuing him, and at- tempted to discharge the pistol. If the prisoner at- tempted to discharge the fire-arms at persons pursuing, they having, as they certainly had, a right to pursue, then the case came .within the meaning of the Act; but the Grand Jury must be satisfied that he had an intent to kill. He (the learned Judge) thought they could not be thus satisfied from the depositions. The other case of felony was of an ordinary de scription. There was a case of murder, and whether the Grand Jury would throw out the B.ll and have the prisoner tried for concealment was for them to decide. It was necessary to prove that the prisoner had a child. Of- this there was some evidence, but whether it was enough was for them to say. To establish the fact, it was also necessary to prove that the child was born alive-the child was found in a Mill-stream. The Grand Jury had heard of the old test, that of the lungs being floated in water. It had been found fallacious. They would hear what the surgeons had to say. If they were not satisfied they ought to throw out the Bill and have her tried for concealment. Under the old Act; a prisoner was obliged to be, found guilty of murder, to have her tried for concealment; but the legis'ature had very properly divided the two cases. There was a charge of manslaughter. The prisoner had been in custody since ApriL If two people quarrel and fight and one dies, manslaughter must be the re- sult. But all cases depend upon circumstances, and none so much so as those of manslaughter, on the degrees kof guilt. In some cases it appeared to be only self- defence, in others it was more gross, and ensured to the prisoner transportation for life. In these cases Judges had a discretion which they by no means coveted. People were mistaken when they supposed that Judges or Magistrates liked to have a large dis- cretionary power, as he was sure many who then heard hiiu could, from his own experience, testify. For his own part, he (the learned Judge) would like far better tohave a scale for all punishments, but that he too well knew was impossible. lie had now said an that was necessary if tiier(i, wis any point on which they required advice he should be most happy to give it to them. They would retire and consider the respective cases. Mr Chilton made application for permission to enter two causes without producing records, the latter having been sent from London per mail, via Bristol, and not arrived at Cardiff in due time. Mr — Evans opposed the application, on the ground that it would be a great hardship, after having been put to considerable expense in bringing witness from a distance. Mr Chilton said, that his object was not to postpone the trial for a single day, all that he wanted was, to have permission to enter the causes, and it was very desirable for all parties that that event should take place. He would pay into Court the costs of the op* posite parties, for the time occupied by the delay. It was finally ordered by the Learned Judge, that twenty pounds should be paid into Court, and that only one of the causes (the Special Jury), should be tried. Owen Rees, the friend of the expatriated Cockney Bill," was then indicted for stealing several articles of wearing apparel, the property of William Jones, at the Rising Sun, Newbridge. Mr Vaughan Williams stated the case. The pro- secutor, Wm. Jones, kept a public-house at Eglwys- illan, called the Rising Sun, and the prisoner went to his house in company with one Norton, and after staying there some time drinking, went out target shooting. They returned again and were drinking some time, and the prisoner was seen by the prosecutor, without his shoes, coming as if from a bedroom. The prisoner ran away, was pursued by prosecutojglvfd David Rosser, and threatened to shoot them. l'ijestf were the facts of the case which they would hear in evidence, and it was for them to decide. William Jones was then called, and fully bore out the statement of tlie learned gentleman. Prisoner came to his house on Saturday, 6th June, about three o'clock in the day Drank there some time. Went out, as he believes, target shooting. Returned agaiu, and were drinking. Witness went into his cellar. Came up about half past nine o'clock. Saw prisoner peep- ing. Prisoner passed him without shoes. The shoes were in his pocket. Witness could see them there. There was a light in the kitchen, by means of which witness could see the prisoner distinctly, although lie,- the witness, had no candle in his haud. Prisoner ran away very fast. Witness pursued him, together with David Rosser. They overtook the prisoner. Witness col- flared him. Prisoner turned round and drew a pistol. -Prisoner had a pistol in his right hand. Prisoner said if they did not let him go, so help him he would shoot him." Witness let him go. Rosser took hold of him. Prisoner turned towards Rosser as he had done to witness. Both let him go. Prisoner ran away, witness and Rosser after him. Prisoner turned back and said, By he would shoot the first that came." Witness stopped; but Rosser went after prisoner. Rosser got Hold of prisoner and held him- Witness took the pistol and gave it to constable. Z, The prosecutor was cross-examined by the prisoner, with considerable coolness; but the latter failed to elicit any point which affected the testimony given. David Rosser examined. Is a chain-maker. Was at the Rising Sun when the prisoner came in. Went with Jones in pursuit of him. Did not see the prisoner go out, but the witness was at the back of the house when prisoner walked by him without shoes. Ran after him, because the prosecutor told him what had happened. Prisoner ran fast, and said if they did not let him go he would kill them. He had a pistol in his hand. Witness and Jones had hold of him then, but let him go. Prisoner ran away, Witness went after him a second time. Prisoner said If he, the witness, did not let him go, he would blow his brains out." Witness replied that blow his brains out he must before he would let him go." Witness held him till he had help. Prisoner threw a cap into the canal. Witness took it out and gave it to a tailor, whose name he does not know. Saw the cap on the Monday following, at the Mountain Ash. This witness was also cross-examined by the prisoner, but without in any wise shaking his evidence. Other witnesses were called in support of the case, all of whom substantiated the statements made by the prosecutor, and established other facts, such as finding the articles stolen, &c. Only one of them said that he saw fire come out of the pistol, it was a flash. The prisoner asked, if lie was sure that the flash came out of the pistol, or supposed it? But the learned Judge said that he was not then indicted for shooting, but for stealing; and the prisoner, whose behaviour before the Court was very respectful, declined to put any more questions. The case for the prosecution being ended, the pri-. soner was called on for his defence, but he had nothing to say, and had no witnesses. He hoped the Court would be merciful. The learned Judge said that what had been said about the pistol was no part of the present charge, it could only be regarded as a proof of stealing; for unless the prisoner had done wrong, he could have no oc- casion to threaten to shoot those who pursued him. His Lordship then recapitulated the evidence, in a very clear and elaborate manner, and left it to the Jury to decide upon the prisoner's guilt. The Jury retired and found the prisoner-Guilty of Stealing. The learned Judge deferred passing sentence until the prisoner had been tried for the second offence. The prisoner was subsequently arraigned for attempt- ing to shoot, with intent to kill, &c.; but Mr Vaughan Wil iams, for the prosecution, said that on looking over the depositions, he saw there was no case to go before the Jury, and he was instructed to say that no evidence would be offered. The learned Judge said, that the course adopted was a lenient one for the prisoner, as the charge would, if proved, have affected his life. It was proved on the former trial, that he had drawn the pistol; but there was no proof that he had drawn the trigger. One cir- cumstance was certainly in the prisoner's favour, he had not the pistol there for the purpose of committing mur- der or robbery, but for the purpose of target shooting at the same time it was a weapon with which he ought not to be trusted, as he made so improper an use of it. The learned Judge had made enquiries into the pri- soner's character, but there was nothing to be elicited that was favourable to the prisoner. The sentence of the Court would be, that the prisoner should be trans- ported beyond the seas for seven years. John Williams and George Evans were indicted for stealing a rustic chair, the property of C. R. JoneFp Esq. of Heathfield House, near Swansea. The prisoners pleaded—Not Guiltv. Mr Herbert Jones stated the case for the prosecution. Williams was late of Bristol, but now residing at Swansea. The other prisoner (Evans) was the keeper of a beer-shop at Swansea. Near Heathfield House there was a small enclosure called the Archery Ground. The chair was seen there between seven and eight o'clock on the morning of the day on which it was stolen. The prisoners were seen on that day carrying away the chair; they threw it over a wall, and one of them picked it up. The chair was afterwards fouud in the house where the prisoner (Evans) lodged. The prosecutor had come forward reluctantly, but the great number of depredations he had sustained com- pelled him to do so. Henry Gay, butler to the prosecutor, proved that he saw the chair between eight and twelve o'clock on the last day in June. The enclosure was not visible from the house. Missed the chair between six and eight on the same day. John Phillips,boy, who said that he been to sea, stated that he remembered Tuesday, the 30th of June. Was in the field. Saw prisoners coming from the Archery Ground. Williams carried the chair. Evans was close to him. They went towards the wall. Williams threw the chair over the wall. Evans was close to him. They went to the wall and got over.- Evans took up the chair, and the prisoners walked away together. Williams asked witness if he had seen some dogs there. Witness said no, and asked what they were going to do with the chair. He heard no answer, and he said he would go and tell the gardener. He (witness) did tell the gardener. For the defence, it was contended that the witness was the son of a man who kept a rival beer-shop, and that his object in giving the above testimony, was done maliciously that he had been imprisoned, in Swansea House of Correction, for stealing apples, and that the circumstance of finding the chair in the house where the prisoner lodged was not a proof of his guilt, as other persons had access to that house and might have placed the chair there. The prisoner received a very excellent character. The learned Judge charged the Jury. All the weight of the evidence depended on the boy, and it was for them to say what they considered his testimony worth. The boy had been imprisoned, but lie did not seem hardened but there was no other support to the case for the prosecution but what he gave. The Jury retired and found the prisoners—Not Guilty. Henry Foley, labourer, of Merthyr Tydvil, was in- dicted for stealing seven knives and a butcher's steel, the property of John Fortune, of Merthyr Tydvil. Mr Nicholl was for the prosecution, and Mr Vaughan Williams for the defence. Johanna Fortune examined—Is sister and servant to prosecutor. Prisoner lodged in the house. His bed- room is close to the store-room of the prosecutor, where his stock of hardware was kept. Witness went upstairs, on Friday week last, in a hurry, and saw pri- soner in his shirt closing the door of the store-room with a bright key. "Oh Lord," witness said, "what are you doing." Witness went down stairs android Mrs. Fortune. Mrs Fortune, wife of prosecutor, remembered last Friday week. Witness went up to Foley's bed-room, and asked him what he did in her store-room. Prisoner
