CABDlir: BHOOTIRG WITH IHTINI TO 1TOBDBB, Andres Bikiaebial, 47, ihlpplng muter, Was In- dieted for Wonlonaly shooting with a oertaln platol, loaded with powder and leaden ballets, at and again at one Vlneent Clery, with Intent, In 80 doing thereby, fclenlonaly and wilfully, and of his malloe aforethontht, to kill and marder him, at Cardiff, on the 22nd April lut. There was alao anlndlot- ment charging prisoner with ahooting with Intent to inflict likrous bodul hum. Mr. Bowen Rowltmdo conducted the prosecution; prlacner was defended by Us. IL Allen. The learned ooonael for the proaecutlon having stated the fsetl which he Intended to prove, called Prcaeoutor, who In m&UorW outfitter, oarrylng on business at Cardiff. On the night of the 22nd April he was walking down BlltesWeet with two com. panlona named Brnchaferi and Delguerra, and he went IlIto Mr. Momouth's thop, leaving the men outalde: When proiecutor came Into the sheet again Brnchaferi and Xelllnl (who with the pMner had ocme lip In the meantime) were fighting, and witness went between them to stop the fight. Pri- soner exclaimed, "Ton Greek brute and sanwa, what do Jeu Interfere with IWIaIII for?" and he struck Clery, who returned the blow, Barachlnl retreated towaids Kimanth's ahop, Clery following to tie what he would do, and In the back parlour prlaoner went on to his knee and took out a re- volver. Prose enter aaked, "Are you going toahoot, yon brllte t" and Barachlnl replied, Yet. I am, you villain," and he dlacharged the revolver. Proaecntor stooped at the moment, and a ballet went through the brim of his hat and lodged In the wall. (Pro- secatofs hat, a bud felt, was yrodnoed, and quite a thrill went through the people In court when Clery coolly pointed out the hole In the brim and IIld, with an expteaalve geature, If I had not atcoped the baUet would have gone through ay hetd.1 In the course of cross-eximlnatlon, proaecntor nld the fint blo" Itruck was not aimed at Bara- chlnl) he also denied having itruck prisoner when they were In the back parlour. Prisoner did not cry out that he wonld be killed, What he laid was, I will kill yon." AHesandrla DeJglerra WIll enmlued In support of proaccutor'* cue, and, In answer to Mr. Allen, witness admitted that prisoner had him before the magistrates a year or two alnee, Ann Klnneck stated that she was In charge of Mr. Kthmouthm shop on the night of the 22nd April, and sitting In the back parlour when Bus- chlnl and Clery came In. She described the ahoot- ing In terms which substantially corroborated Olery's statement, and added that Barachlnl re- turned with a revolver in his hand the aeoond time. Crons examined: Witness did not see a blow struck In the parlour, but ahe aald before the magistrates that prisoner gave a yell as If he was struck," and she noticed when he returned a second time that his mouth was bleeding. Police-conatable Johns, of the Cardiff borough force, proved the apprehenalon of the prlaoner at 22, Chrlitlna street, Cardiff, and aald that when charged with shooting at Olery prlaoner aald, "I did not do It," Witness also produced a five chsmber revolver found In the backyard of Kin- mouth's house, and said that four chambers were loaded when he found It, The bullet produced was taken out of the wall of the back parlour spoken of, a' a belght of 7f'. 81n. from the ground, and In a direction slanting cpwMdt. The bullet fitw a cartridge come lound In the .J.a:etr and corresponded with the other buUeti6 (Thla tha f?. th. MAMMmtiAn. Mr, Allen made an exhauatlve speech for the defence, his principal contention being that when Barachlnl received the second blow, which prisoner said was Inflicted, though Olery denied It- he be- oame frightened, and resorted to a weapon In self defence. The revolver might be too grave a weapon to use under the circumstances, but he (the learned counsel) suggested that It Wll fired In a moment of panic, In order to frighten Clery, and he reminded the jury that If there wlIIlDtent to kill, prlaoner bad five barrels left, and could eully have taken Clery's life. Mr. Allen conoluded by atatlng that Barachlnl had been an officer under Garibaldi, and possessed honourable certificates of oharacter. He also pointed out that prisoner was an older man and of a less powerful physique than Clery, having loat the me of one arm, He called Giovanni Xelllnl, who gave an acoount, of what took placeoutllde Rimmunth's ahop on the night of the 22ad April. His Itatement wll to the effect that prlaoner, himself, and another Italian, met Brnchaferi and Dalguerra, when Brnchaferi first" cbsffed" prlaoner and then amulted him. Clery also (truck prisoner, who aonght ahelter In the ahop, crying out," aaaaaalna, police, police," Oler" and a man drelled like a Greek aallor, who had something Bhlnlng like a weapon In his hand, followed prlscner, and In a few minute* afterwards witness heard a shot fired. The wltnesss evidence In chief was not shaken In cross-examination. Demetrius Sollarl corroborated the previous wlt- nUl. Evldence was also given to the effect that Clery's party were the aggressors In the row which took place outside Mr. Einmonth's shop, and It wu stated that Clery Btruck Barachlnl first. In his reply on the whole owe, Mr. Bowen Row. lands said the discharge of the pistol had not been denied, and he therefore told the jury, subject to the correction of the learned judge, that prisoner could not plead juatlficatlon unleaa he could ahow that he believed his life to be In danger. Ms Lordablp commenced an exhauatlve lummlng up I by telling the jury that the prisoner wu Indicted on three counts first for ahooting with Intent to kill; secondly, for ahooting with Intent to disable; and, thirdly, of shooting with Intent to do Kme grievous bodily harm; and they mc<t ocqatt the prisoner entirely or flid him guilty of any one of there three several chMfie*. The act was, of course, the Mme, and whether the jury found prisoner guilty on one or other of these charle. would depend npon what was the Intention with which he fired the platol The caae was, un- doubtedly, a very difficult one, and before proceed- ing further he would point out one circumstance which favoured the prisoner. He was not an Englishman who had lived In this country all his life, and so become thoroughly accustomed to our manners and cuatoma; and, again, the weapon nsed by him did not appear to be one that he had gone In search of with a murderous Intent. The learned judge then recapitulated the facts that had been sworn to. and pointed out the discrepancies In the evldenoe, and left the cue In the handa cf tie jarr. ?° After a few minutes' deliberation the jury found the prisoner guilty of wounding with IDhrit to do giievoui b dU harm :I ='he had to .,10 mitigation of punlihment, prisoner aald he drew the revolver In Illf defence, but fired It In the air. The learned judge told prisoner he wished to take the moat lenient view he could of this outrage, bat the use of the pistol In that manner was wholly Inde- fensible. The sentenoe of the court was that he be Imprisoned for 18 months'hard labour. TBII OASi OF HANNAB WIE KS.

Mi. H. Allen prosecuted; Hr. B. Francis Wil. liams defended the prisoner. It was not disputed that In April 25,1871, prisoner married EmLly OhMlette Draw, at St. Jade's õ: Bristol, and tJ:n the 7th An?att, J¡:7 he contracted a second marriage with Mary EHzabeth.Csnnon, a young woman living at GUfaoh- goch. But the learned counsel for the defence raised the question whether there was proof of the bit wife's existence In Aogoat of laat year, the evidence on the point being of an inferential character. It appeared from the teatlmony of IIn. Drew, mother of vrixoner's Ant v ife, that prlacner left his wife after living together for two years, and that the deserted wife made arrangementa to go to service under the now of Mary Ann Drew, her reason being that she never wished to see her hasband again.

Bowen Row- landa were counael for the plaintiff; Mr. Mclntyre aid Mr. B. Franda Wllllama for the defendant. This was an action by Hr. Brewer, a commlaalon agent, living near Aborpvanny to nova the asm of 9791 14s, from the detendmt, who Is a colliery proprietor and coke merchant at Michen, near Newport. The plaintiff's case, which waa heard on Wednesday, .111 that in 1871 the defendant engaged him u his agent for the sale of coke, agreeing to pay him 6d per ton commission upon all orders he obtained. In pur •nance of this engagement the plaintiff got various large orders, his commission upon which amounted In the aggregate to 21,750. The defendant paid him t725 121 2d, and then repudiated further liability. He had, however, paid Into court the sum of 9218, which he alleged was aU that was due to Mr. Brewer. The claim wu disputed on the ground that the agreement with the pMntia wM fcr commission upon the coke M It wM delivered, amd c::he»:d:e which :b:.t:td several of the conuao" having broken down owing to the coal panic whloh occurred about that time, the defendant ,alleged that he had fully dlacharged his liability to the plaintiff. The Issue Invovled was, therefore, wbth., th. P1.6tiff was entitled to com million upon the whole of the orders, or only upon anch quantities of coke as were actually delivered. The defendant's cue had been opened, and the defendant himself was under cross-examination, when the court adjourned on Wedneaday, On the resumption of the cue this morning, The defendant was recalled, and his cross exami- nation was continued, Re-examined by Hr. M'tntyre. be said when the plaintiff received his payments he never made a claim for extra commls don. Mr. Edward Tilling, clerk and bookkeeper to tne defendant, confirmed thla atatement, but aald he knew Mr. Brewer had aubaequently made a claim for the extra!commission. At the oloie of the defendant a case, The learned Baron Intimated that there were four questions whloh the jury would have to con- sider, namely (1) whether the plaintiff wu entitled to commission of 6d. per ton on the 20,000 tons comprising the Gadley's Iron Company's first con- tract, or only upon what was delivered; (2) whether the plaintiff was entitled to commission of 6d. on the 10,000 tons of the Gadley's seoond con- trut or only upon what was delivered; (3) whether he was entitled to commission upon the whole of Lord Granville's contract or only upon the quantity delivered and (4) whether he was entitled to the extra commission ef It. per ton upon tbe Gadley's ooond contract. In summing :Otheta:e'd:n;:8In ;=W. and with regard to the first he ni4 that, genemUy speaking, when a commission agent completed a conitMtheccnftnredcettttn rights upon his em- ployer, and the employer paid him commlaalon In respect to thoae rlghta, and not upon what took place afterwards. In such a caae u thla, however, there WM some dMSenIty In applying the rule thoiottthty, heetme CMnMttet m:l' a strike and the blowing out of Mft fum%oes-- which would make It Impossible to carry out the contract, and It would be an extreme oonoluslon to My that at the very moment the p!<dnttS completed a contract he could have brought an action for hh commission. But In the present case no auoh casualties had arisen. The as of coke were expected to go on under the contract, and If the contract had been acted upon all the deliveries would have been made, and the plaintiff would un- doubtedly have been entitled to his commission. The jury wonld, therefore, have to oonalder whether the plaintiff's arrangement with the defendant for payment of his oommlsslon monthly wu made merely for the convenience of the latter, or whether It showed IDlntlmaüon that the commlaalon ahoald only be eonaldered to have been earned If the coke had actually been delivered nnder the centrMt. Xhe learned baron then minutely reviewed the evidence bearing upon the imvua questions at lalUe. The jury retired to deliberate, and after an ,11- aence of about two houra they ;IeoluM la fMoar ofthephtnttaaponeMhefthenHt th< < of his lordship's questions, and against him as to the last, which related to the extra commlaalon.

The plaintiff contended that the defendant was himself personally responsible for the sum of t33 40 4d, having transacted the boainess u liqui- dator of the company, and the question was, whether Mr. Grandfield was entitled to thelUanoe.

The bill of lading was prepared by the defendants' agents, and It set forth that the Kepler was bound for Anoona with 171,463 blocks, weighing 1,403 tons, ef Xinel's compressed Welsh steam coal. no learned counsel for the plaintiffs explained that a great deal of Importance attached to the worda In a cuatomary manner," becauae the method of loading patent fuel was aomewhat peculiar. It wu cuatomary for a lighter to go alcngalde the vessel, and a certain number of blocks, perhipe ten, were weighed and put on board. The weight of the sargo was then calculated from the number of blocks, It being aasumed that they were all of equal weight. In point of fact, however, they were not all of the aame alae or weight, novae being atfs and spongy, others hard and solid; so that by the customary mode of loading It was not possible to get more than a calculation of the weight of the cargo, and In acme inatances not more than a remote auftc the Kepler, having been loaded In tbla rough way, proceeded to Anoona, and upon her arrival there It was found that aome of the blocks of fael weee completely broken Into pieces. When the whole cargo came to be delivered It turned out that, lnatcad of there being 1,403 tcna, there were only 13414 tons.
