The Warrington "Shallows" Again . We Beg...
B himself ; he was up again at three on Saturday morning and worked till four in the afternoon , lie came home quite exhausted and went to bed , tnd remained there till Monday morning ; the effect of this week literally broks his heart , so far as Edleston ' s shop was concerned—his body was " stiff" on Monday , soon Tuesday , on the Wednesday he " absconded . " Out of the 18 s ., Is . was taken for the " black book , " 2 s . for " tools" ( a shameful charge not recognised by other masters ) , and a shilling or two , ** sixpence a dozen " for " looking af ter him . "
Two years ago Wyke was " stiff" one morning , 41 could not get up" and lost a quarter of a day ; he had then been an apprentice two years , and had never before lost an hour . For this he was taken into custody , and confined all night in the Bridewell , the magistrates , however , on this occasion " forgave him . " The lad at this time was growing Tery fast , too fast for his strength , and was obli ged to sleep a little . There is little doubt but that his three months at Kirkdale will be a permanent injury to him . Since the " quarter of a day " absence he has been absent two or three days . If nothing should result from the present petitions . I purpose to present one , from myself , to the House of Lords , and for Wyke ' s mother to present another embodying the foregoing .
The trial of Wy ke did not occupy six minutes ; he and Gerrard were uot more than a quarter of an hour before the court . Throughout my examination and address Mr . Lyon continually interrupted me to the effect that he had made up his mind , and that my efforts were quite useless .

O'Connorville. The Disagreeable- Duty Of...
O'CONNORVILLE . The disagreeable- duty of carrying out a very wise and prudent provision of the late Land Conference has this week devolved upon ns . Some of the occupants , regardless of the decision » f the Conference , and without any previous notice to us , arrived at O'Connoro'lle , when their respective houses were not fully prepared for their reception , and at a time when it was impossible for the Directors so to dissever their labours as to pay a kind of disjointed attention to ths wants and situation of a few . Under these circumstances it became our
painful duty to refuse the location of the parties thus looking for premature possession . J & would be useless upon our part to characterise the act in harsher terms than mere imprudence , while , had we tolerated it , there would be an end to our contronl , and very speedily an end to our occupation . While we are well watched in the discharge of our duties , weare resolved that the performance of those duties shall defy reproof . Now , every member will at once see and confess , that acquiescence in a , ' I .
• elf-willed act of this kind would pen ! the existence of the Association , as there would be BO end to such attempts at premature occupation . The course the directors adopted was this : they despatched Mr . Doyle to O'Connorville with sufficient cash to transmit the parties to their several homes , aad , however their friends may sjmpathise . and their enemies may rejoice , we beg to remind all , tbat the act was indispensable , that the duty was imperative , that the resolution of the Conference was decided . ¦ .

MoPsisoaaitL . —If yon are satisfied , that your master is in your debt , you mast proceed against him . Apply to a magistrate . Cb «» ch-R * t £ s . — In the Court of Queen ' s Bench , on Monday , Lord Denman gave tbe d- vision of the court on another important question raised in the celebrated Braintree church-rate case . The judgment was to ths , s '
effect , that if a meeting be called fcr the purpose of levying a church-rate , an amendment that there be no rate is not legal , and cannot be entertained , it being the duty of the meeting to make a rate . If , therefore , the majority refuse a rate , they are to be considered as cot taking part ia the business of tbe meetiag , and tbe minority may make a rate . In future , then , it will be impracticable absolutely to refuse a rate ; but the object of the opponents will be substantially obtained by proposing a rate too small in amount to be collected . Cactios . —We take the following from the Times : — Sir , —As few persons are aware of the danger to the constitutions of pedestrians from tbe practice of thrawing salt upon the snow , wi thout immediately removing it from the footpath , I send you the result
of my experiment to day , which may be the means of sparing the lives of those who incautiously tread into the intense cold which is occasioned by it . Tbe temperature of my room was forty degrees , that of the snow thirty-two degrees , and the water thirty-four degrees . When the snow and salt were amalgamated , the temperature was reduced to only half a degree above zero ; showing an increased intensity of cold below the snow register of thirty-one and a half degrees . When the water was added to both , tlie temperature was raised to twenty-eight degrees . These facts may be serviceable to every pedestrian , and save some lives . H .

National Trades Association For The Prot...
NATIONAL TRADES ASSOCIATION FOR THE PROTECTION OF IN
DUSTRY . " Union for the ilOlion . " The central committee of the above association held their usual weekly meeting on Monday last , at their office , 11 , Tottenham-coort-road . T . S . Duncombe , Esq ., M . P ., presided in tlie chair , when , after the usual preliminary business was disposed of and a mass of corre spondence read , among which was one from the serge weavers ol Cullompton , thanking the central committee lor having sent Mr . Allen to that town , and stating the employer had discharged the chairman of the union , but set him to work again upon the intercession ot Ws Mater . The central committee decided upon em ploying the chairman , should the employer discharge him , ( for not a man in the village dare move in Trades Union matters in consequence ot the tyranny exercised over them by their heartless employer . )
DUNDEE . On Tuesday evening a public meeting of the trades was held in the Thistle Hall , Union-street , to hear a lecture from the Association s Missionary , Mr . Jacobs ; the Hall was crowded , the lecturer , in his usual spirited s yle , dilated on the grievances of the trades , the numerous petty tyrannies am peculations of tbe master class . Mr . J . proceeded to develope the plans of the Association in a masterly manner , showed that the millions of workers could by their accumulated pence , become masteis ot all the trades in Britain in a few years , after touching on the question of markets of manufactures and sustenance . British and Foreign , and bhowing the
necessity of regulating which none other class than the workers could or would properly effect . He next reverted to the progress of machinery , the necessity of the workers directing it into its proper channel , namely , to assist themselves in the protection and obtaining food and raiment , concluded in a powerful appeal to union , that drew forth the loud and long continued plaudits of the assembly ; when silence was obtained , the lecturer rose and said , if there was any person wished to be further informed on any point , ho would be most happy to answer any question they felt inclined to ask , —a few questions were asked and answered to the satisfaction of the meeting , after which , the following resolution was proposed , seconded , and carried unanimously : ~
Tbat we approre of the principles and objects now set forth , and deem it the true interest of the trades of Dundee to join forthwith , that the committee do send far miss and prospectuses to supply the trades in this district . Votes of thanks were passed by acclamation to the missionary and chairman , which were duly responded to , and all went off with the best spirit .
ARBROATH . On Tuesday evening a public meeting of the trades was held in the Rechabite Hall , to hear a lecture from Mr . Jacobs . About half-past eight , Mr . J . Seager was called to the chair , and opened the business by informing the meeting that the reason of calling them to that part of the town was , that they were successively refused the Trades' Hall , and the Guildhall , those Halls were frequently let to Tom Thumb , Mountebanks , Light Dancers , and Showfolks of any sort , but to benefit the working class it was refused , the plea made was , " it would create unpleasantness for the masters , " for the present they must do their best , but he hoped the workers would unite to the monster association , and then they could teach these petty chiefs better manners , he would now introduce the missionary , who would show them the road to wealth and power .
Mr . J . came forward and said , " Friends , I think the statement of your chairman sufficient to spur you on to union in our great cause , that you may rid yourselves at once , and forever , from all your tyrants , in trades or towns affairs . The Lecturer then proceeded with his lecture in his usual energetic style , and was much applauded . At the close a resolution in favour of the Association was carried , a good sp irit is set on loot among the trades of this town that will only increase by opposition .
GLASGOW . On Friday , the District Committee met in the Nelson-street chapel . The member for the Currier ' s Society took his seat , and subscribed to the forms of office . Several delegates reported the state of their trades . The Missionary reported progress . Tho Secretary read the ruinates , and reported he had been too unwell to attend the trades'he was deputed to during the week . A deputation from the tailors , consisting of the Secretary and others , attended , and requested the Missionary to attend their public meeting on Friday , to explain the principles , & c ., of the Association . Saturday—Mr . Jacobs visited the Cotton Spinners Committee to arrange for their meeting .
BARNSLEY . A public meeting was held in tile Odd Fellows Ball , on Monday evenin ? , February 1 st , to hear the principles of the National Association of United Trades , expounded by Mr . Lenegan . theAfsociation ' s missionary , who delivered a very interesting lecture on the subject , after which a resolution was passed unanimously that we , the working men of Barnsley , do immediately join the above Association . A e » mmitte was appointed to carry out the object of the meeting . Tho aforesaid committee met at Mr .
John Pickering ' s large room , on Saturday night , February 6 , to enrol names , elect officers , & c . On the 2 nd of February , Mr . Lenegan also attended on the tailors , and addressed them some time , after which they agreed to join with the other trades in the town . On the 3 rd instant , he went to Dodworth , and addressed tbe hand-loom weavers and miners ; they passed a resolution to join en masse . On the 4 th instant , he attended a meeting of shoemakers , and addressed them for an hour and a half , after which they agreed to joia the Association , and send a delegate to the district committee .
WAKEFIELD . Mr . Lenegan addressed the shoemakers , after whicli they agreed to call a meeting « f their whole body for Monday the 8 th instant . On the 6 th , he addressed the bricklayers , who agreed to jein in a short time ; but in the interval they would call a public meeting for all the trades , by placard , to take place on the 10 th instant , when they expected an overflowing meeting .
DONCASTER . On Monday evening , the 8 th instant , the handloom wearers from the two firms of Messrs . Carlton and Earnshaw , met at tho house of Mr . S . Clayton , Stag Inn , to hear an adriress from Mr . J . Gritnshaw , upon the principles , objects , and superior defensive powers « f the National Trades Union orer those of a merely local and isolated character . Upon the motion of Mr . Thomas Dunk , Mr . E . Richards was called to the chair . The Chairman , altera few brief observations introduced Mr . Grimshaw , who gave the greatest satisfaction to all present . At the close of the meeting , Mr . G . Parkin moved the following resolution : —
" That we , the hand-loom weavers belonging to the two firms of Messrs . Carlton and Earnshaw , do forthwith send in our adhesion to the National Trades Union , believing it to be the only trades society in existence that is calculated to secure for the working man what he is so justly entitled to , viz . — a fair day's wage for a fair day ' s work . " Tho weavers in the employ of Messrs . Carlton , Earnshaw , and Johnson , will meet at the above house , at eight o ' clock , on the evening of Shrove Tuesday , for the purpose of forming a district committee . NOTTINGHAM .
A public meeting was held at Arnold , near Nottingham , Mr . Anthony in the chair : after some very judicious remarks as to the object of the association , he introduced Mr . Winter , one of the Nottingham District Committee , who very eloquently expounded the principle of the association , and urged the utility of joining the National Confederation , he sat down loudly cheered . Mr . Sawter followed , ( one of the bibb top victims now employed by the association , ) who commenced by showing the benefit the boot and shoemakers of London had already received , and advised the framework knitters of Arnold to form a boot and shoe club , and purchase their shoes at the Workman s Own Shop , 55 , Glasshouse Street , Nottingham ; he also showed there were nailmakers at Cradley , glove
makers at Dufield , framework knitters of Nottingham , and other trades at work for tha association , and sat down loudly cheered . A t the close , the following resolution was carried unanimously . " That we , the Framework Knitters of Arnold , do join the National Association in a body . " It was considered by all present to be the largest meeting ever held in Arnold . After the meeting the delegates had an interview with the overseers of that parish , and they intreated them to push forward the union in that locality , and they would assist them all that lay in their power to put down those bagmen who compelled their workmen to take goods instead of money , they would make a handsome subscription for a start . ... . A general meeting of all the Knitting branches
was held at the King George on Horseback , Gregory Buildings , to hear the report of a deputation who had waited upon the employers respecting bump weight . The Report ! of the deputation was highly satisfactory . The folloging is an extract from a letter of the District Secretary of Manchester : — The Operative Cotton Spinners hare joined the Manchester Society of above , and have paid into my bands the levy and contributien of January for eighty-four in number , at same average as Manchester Spinners . I ani authorized by tbe Manchester Fustian Cutters to say that their society will join on tbe I 7 th instant , 800 in number , to which will be added Barton , Failswortb , and at the same time , Kirkdale , Warrington , and other districts will be joined by other bodies of tbe same trade at which time they will number about 2000 stronf . POTTERIES . Mr . J . W . Parker , missionary to the AB » 3 iatioD ,
National Trades Association For The Prot...
held a delegate meeting of the trades , at the New Market Tavern , Uanley , Staffordshire , for the purpose of organizing the Potteries under the banner of the " United Trades Association . " Delegates attended from the Potters Union—the tailors , the miners , and the building trades . The delegates arranged for a public meeting of the trades to be held in the Working Man ' s Hall , Longton . on Monday Feb . 8 th , and in the Temperance Hall , Burslem , on Tuesday , the 9 th , and at the Crown Inn , Lower Felton , on Thursday , the 11 th . The deputies of the building trades arranged for a meeting on the 10 th . Deputations were appointed to wait upon the mechanies , and painters and gilders .
The deputies from the mine * s stated , that at present thcie was no Union among the colliers—arising from past failures , —and indeed such was the oppression under which they were labouring , that any one moving in that direction was sure to fall a victim . Nevertheless , they were willing to make another trial , and had every hope from tho exertions of the Missionary , that a real and permanent organisation , under the direction of the United Trades' Association and their patriotic President , would be the result , and that theirs , and the trades interests generally , would be materially enhanced .
The Delegates will sit every Friday evening :, to give and receive information . Any communication may be addressed to J . W . Parker , Post-office , Hanleyi to which immediate attention will be paid . Mr . Bush gave the following report of his mission to Nottingham , Mansfield , and Sutton : — He had waited on Mr . Clark ; the Association ^ a « ent at Nottingham , and had examined tho frames in the shop , and the work in hand . He had received a further order for men ' s , women ' s , and children ' s boots and shoes , as there were a many customers that Mr . Clark had been unable to fit , on account of the great demand . He met Mr . Wooley , the District Secretary , with the men on strike , and found that the Bagman had refused to give out
any more cotton unless the men took tho lines out of their work , which was impossible with the frames he forced them to use , and the men had no doubt he had been instigated to do it by Messrs . Heard and Hirst , the hosiers . He found the men had had a public meeting , and had appointed a deputation of . three to wait on tho hosiers , to induce them to give np tho system of "bump weight , " which forces the poor stockingers to make stockings from four to eight ounces per dozen more than he is paid for . Fourteen out of fifteen of the hoisers expressed their readiness to agree to it , provided it was general throughout Nottingham , but the firm of Heard and Hirst would not comply wito the just wishes of tha men . They intend to hare another public meeting to decide on what steps they can take . He afterwards attended a meeting of the carpenters , when the majority present at a very full meeting seemed very anxious for information relative to the progress of the Association , and which it appeared the officers
of the Society , or the . Post-office authorities , had hitherto succeeded ia burking . He left them aqnantity of rules and balance-sheets , and there is little doubt they will soon join ths Association , or at least the most sensible part of them . He afterwards met the Mansfield District Committee , and found them labouring under numerous grievances , one of which was from a Mr . Orton , a Bagman , charging full 25 per cent , more for his frame than others did ; and when Mr . B . waited on the gent , he was received very courteously , but told him tho frames were his own property , and , of course , he should " do what he liked with his own , " as his only profits , through the grinding of Messrs . Heard and Hirat , was what he could screw out of the men by extra rents , and tbat the other Bagman did better , as they all carried out the Truck system on the sly to an enormous extent . After leaving Mansfield , he called at Sutton in Ashfield , and found the same complaints against Messrs . Heard and Hirat .

MARLBOROUGH-STREET . — Jones Jones , whose real nam * is Heffernan , was charged on Monday with having committed tbe following daring highway robbery on a married woman named Emma Seymour , Tbe pro . secutrix said she lived in Crown-court , Soho , and on Saturday night , about half-past twelve o ' clock , she was on her way home through Great Pultney Street , whea she was suddenly knocked down by a violent blow on tlie face . The man who knocked her down immediately took from her bosom a seek containing a soveriegn and about twelve shillings in silver . The man then seized her hand , and forced two gold rings from her fingers , with which he ran off . She called loudly for the police ,
and in a snort time a constable came up and received from her the particulars of the outrage aad robbery , — Police-constable Clark , C 55 , said that on hearing cries for assistance , he went up and found the prosecutrix ljing on the pavement Weeding fromwennds ia her face . Having received a description of the perpetrator , which answered to Hoffernan , whom he had just met in Peterstreet , he went in search of the prisoner , and found him at a public-house is Husband-street , and took him from thence to the station-house . The prosecutrix , on seeing the prisoner , identified him without hesitation . The prisoner , however , denied all knowledge of tha affair . He was fully committed .
HAMMERSMITH . —William Qeorgt Sweet , 19 years of age , was brought up en Monday , for final examination before Mr . G . Clive , on a charge of having committed a gross outrage on a young girl , named Anne Winslade , eleven years of age . The prisoner was first brought up on Monday , the 1 st instant , when , fram the evidence then gone into , it sippeared that on the afternoon of Thursday , the Uth of January last , about three o ' clock , as Arise Winslade , the daughter of a labouring man , living at 8 , Bennett-street , Chismck , was proceeding , accompanied by another girl , named Ellen Sophia Beard , about her own age , from her own home to the Strand-on-the . Green , leading along the side of the River Thames from Chistvick to Kew-bridge foat . On their way they saw tho prisoner standing , leaning against some posts on the footpath , and on coming up to him he let the girl Beard pass
through the post without molestation , but on the girl Winslade attempting to pass he seized hold of her , and threw her down , turning hor clothes up orer her bead . The girl screamed out , when the prisoner threw himself upon her , and while ho placed one hand orer ber mouth to stifle her cries , with tha other be inflicted most serious injuries on her person . From the girl ' s statement , which she gave ia a very straightforward and artless manner , there is no doubt but thathe meditated n criminal assault , but upon becoming alarmed by the girl Beard running off and calling loudly for assistance , he left the girl . The prieoaer was aftorwardg apprehended . In answer to the charge , he said he could prove that he was not at the Strand-on-the-Green on the day in question , but in town . Mr . Clive asked him if he had bis witnesses to prove that fact in attendance , to which he replied tbat he bad not . The prisoner was fully committed for trial .
LAMBETH . —Extensits Robbeiy bt a Sbrvant . — On Tuesday last Mrs . Elizabeth Perkins and Mary Weiland , sisters , and well-dressed young women , were charged with having received a large quantity of property which hail been stolen by the husband of tho former prisoner . From tha evidence it appeared that the husband of tbe prisoner Perking bad been shopman to a grocer at Coventry , aud it having been discovered tbat he had carried on a regular system of robbery , and had plundered his employers to a very considerable extent , he was taken into custody , He ( fleeted the robberies by forwarding large parcels of tea , sugar , and other property from the warehouse of his employers to the house of his wife in Walirorth-road , where a ready sale was effected . After the apprehension and examination of the husband at Coventry an inspector ot police then started for town , and with the assistance of Sergeant Morton took both prisoners into custody : the officer applied to the magistrate to have tbe prisoners sent to Coventry , which Was granted .
Reno vat . or thb Diad Bout or am Infant . —Mrs , Harriet Tucker , a married female , was charged , on tho same day , with having removed the body of a dead infant from her house under , the following circumstances :--It appeared that on Monday morning the prisoner had applied to Mr . Miskin , a surgeon in Westminster-road , for a certificate to bury a child , which that gentleman bad seen on Friday last , and who at the time was quite well . Mr . Miskia suspecting that there was something wrong in the case , requested one of the beadles of Lambeth parish to inquire into tbe uircumitances of the child ' s death , and he ( the beadle ) found that its mother had been confined in Oakley-street , that tha child was removed to Waterloo-road where it died , and on Monday forenoon its mother carried tbe body away in a bundle from the lod ging of tlie prisoner , but where she took it to could not be ascertained , Mr . Norton finding that nothing suspicious was attached to the prisoner , discharged her , and told the beadle to pursue bis inquiry to discover what had bjen done with the body of the infant .
WORSHIP . STREET . ~ An Awkwaup Mistakk . —On Tuesday last Mr . Johnson , the landlord ofa public house in East-road , City-road , was brought before Mr . Arnold on a charge of having stolen JE 265 belonging to Mr . Richards , a stane mason : the affair , however , appeared to have been a drunken mistake . Mr . Richards had , on Monday received £ 288 from a Mr . Hart , to whom be had sold a house , and in the evening he went to the public house and wanted change for some £ 50 notes , which the defendant * procured for him ; they then sat drinking together until they became intoxicated , and in that condition went
home to the house of Richards , who handed over the money to bis wife . Mrs . Richards having counted the notes placed them upon a table , when the defendant said that in giving change he had given £ 30 too much , and this being denied he took the whole ef the money off the table and was going away , but Mrs . Richards , to whom he was a stranger , sent for a policeman and the defendant was conveyed to tho station house and locked up . He has since discovered that be had mislaid the £ 30 which be at the time thought he had given to Mr . Richards .- the matter being thus explained he was of course discharged .
SOWHWARK—Cottins and Wounding . —Henry Hill was reexamined on Tuesday last , charged with thrusting an iron gkewer into the body of George Hardaway , who was conveyed to tbe hospital alter the infliction of the injury . Policeman Berry stated that on calling at tbe hospital to inquire how Hardaway was getting on . he
Marlborough-Street. — Jones Jones, Whose...
was informed that he bad quitted the ward without the sanction or knowledge of the medical gentleman under whose care he was placed . Thathe ( Berry ) subsequently saw Hardaway in the neighbourhood where he sustained the iajury , and in alludiag to the subject told tbatperson that he was to attend that day the re-examination of the man accused with baring wounded him . Hardaway , in reply , expressed bis determination not to be present in conrt , observing that Hill ( the prisoner ) was « n old acquaintance of his , and although he had inflicted a serious injury upon him , yet that he would not prosecute him . The policeman added that Hardaway appeared to be extremely ill , and seemed to walk with difficulty . Mr . Cottingham , addressing the prisoner , observed that it was miraculous he did not iaflict a fatal injury en the man Hardaway , it having been stated before hira that he thrust three inches of the iron sk « wer Into hit body , a little above the left hip . The witnessed , now described . that the man was bttter , but it was impossible as yet to say with any degree of certainty as to how it might
terminate . Hv * adfoolislilyquiUedtheho 8 pital , whfrehewas undermedical care , withoutthe knowledgeof the surgeon . Under such circumstances , he ( the magistrate , ) could not allow a man like the prisoner to escape from the consequences of such an attack as that he made upon his friend with a dangerous instrument such as that produced . The prisoner here exclaimed— " But , your worship , I did not intend doing it ; it began in a lark ; he snatched my sprats , that I was cooking before the fire , after I warned him not to do it , and by accident afterwards the skewer run into hit side , I am sorry for it . " Mr . Cottingham said that if a medical certificate was procured , describing that no dangerous symptoms were likely to arise , together with the fact of Hardaway ' s disinclination to come forward to prosecute , he ( tht magistrate ) might probably be dis posed to adopt a different course to that which he first intended . He should rtmand Uvea for a few days , and in the meantime ha should issue his warrant for the apprehension of tha wouaded man to give evidence , aa he refused to come forward when directed to do so . —The case wa » then ordered to stand over .
CLERKENWELb . —Novel Avphcation . —On Wednesday a simple-loaking young Irishman presented himself before Mr . Combe to solicit his advice under the fol lowing circumstances : —Mr . Bayliss ( tbe usher of the Court)—Pray what is your business ! Applicant ( scratching bis head ) , Faith its only jist to ax bis wartchip a silly question . ( A laugh . ) Mr , Combe—What does he want ^ Mr . Bayliss—He says he wants to ask your . worship a silly question . Mr . Combe—Then what is the silly question f Applicant—Sure , den , I knew it ' s what will make de whole of you laugh at me . Mr . Combe—Well , what is it ? Goon . Applicant— Why , yer banner , I fell in lore with Biddy O'Flannigan down there in Brill-row , Somers . tonn , aud wa kept sitch odders company for a long time , and we agreed to ba married last Sunday , at St . Pancrat Church , so I bought a gould wedding ring which I gave to Biddy on Saturday night last , and she promised to meet me in the church on Sunday morning - . I dressed myself dac » nt and I went to the church wid two friends and we waited dare for two or three hours ,
but de devil o' bit did Biddy ever come , and I found dat she had robbed me of the wedding ring , and made a fool of ma , yer banner . ( This statement caused great laughter . ) Mr . Combe—Have you seen her since ? Applicant —To be sure I have , and she laughed at me , and said that it wasn't herself that ever meant to bemane herself marrying such a cripple as myself , because one of my legs is shorter dan d « odder . ( Laughter . ) Mr . Combe Pray what did give for the ring ! Applicant—Bight shillings , yer banner . Mr , Combe—You gate her tbe ring , I can do nothing for yon . Applicant—Is dat be de law , den sure don't tbe ring belong to me ! Didn ' t I pay for it wid my own money ! Sure it can ' t be her ' s , as she didn ' t marry me . ( Laughter . ) Mr . Combe—You ought to have kept it until she met you in the church . Applicant ( drily)—Faith then that ' s thruo enough , but sba wheedled me out of it , and a good tbrate into the bargain , and little did I myself think she would desave and chateme , but I'll bsup to her , and dat ' s what I will . He then left tho Court , evidentl y disappointed at Biddy Flaanigan not being ordered Into custody for felony .
Assault . —Edward Watts was finally examined , charged by Henry Lester with having committed an assault on him , by which his left arm was broken , The prisoner entered the house where prosecutor was , and conducted himself in a brutal manner , when the barman put him ont . The prisoner swore to be revenged , and afterwards waylaid him , and beat and kicked him so that his arm was broken . Tbe prisoner was fully committed for trial . MARYLEBONE . —Richard Ubsdall , a journeyman tailor , was chargad on Wednesday with having assaulted
a young woman named Louisa Davis , Complainant stated tbat on tbe previous night , as she was standing in the New . road , the prisoner came up , and without saying a word , struck her several times with great vioteuca on the head and face . Mr . Rawlinson . —Had you known hira before ! Complainant . —No , Sir , ha was a perfect stranger , and I have to state , Sir , that he held up his fists as if he bad been sparring to a man . Mr . Rawlinson . —That can hardly be possible , I should imagine ; for a man who would strike a woman would not ba in possession of courage enough to spar up to a man at all . Fined 50 s .
WORSHIP-STREET . —Richard Hill , and Frederick Field , two hardened-looking boys , about fburteem years of age , were on Wadntsday placed at thenar before Mr . Broughton , charged with stealing a number of chairs andotber articles the property of the Rev . Clement Duke and others , trustees of aragged school in Phillips-strett , Kingsland-road . It appeared from tha statement of Mr . Henry Haswell , oae of tha teachers , that the school in question was opened about six months since , to disseminate the ordinary branches of education and reltgiow instruction amongst the children of the poor inhabit , ants of that populous district , and that it was only through th * greatest forbearance and perseveracne on the part of those conducting it , tbat the objects of its founders had not been entirely frustrated , by the senseless opposition of many of the unreasoning persons for
whose peculiar bewmt alone it had been established . These people had not merely confined themselves to assembling round the school entrance , as they bad been constantly in tbe habit of doing , aad assailing the wellconducting scholars as they emerged , with the vilest vituperation , but had alsoincittd the more badly disposed of the pupils to be the most lawless acts of iusubordinatiou , which hai resulted mora than once in personal violence towards their instructors . Notwithstanding these obstacles , however , the scholars were rapidly progressing , and the school produce * the greatest benefits to the locality in which it was established , but the principle upon which it was founded being necessarily to comprise the children of the very lowest classes of society , repeated acts of depredation had bean committed , which
defied all the vigilance of the teachers to prevent or detect , Among » t numerous other missing articles , were several of the candlesticks , and no less than six of the chairs , which were all safe in tha scbaol-room when they were locked up in the evening , but found the next morning to have bean abstracted from the premises , which had been broken into during the night ; and information having bsan received in the course of the Inquiries after the property , wbieh strongly implicated the two prisoners , both of whom attended tbe school , in the perpetration ot tbe robbery , they bad been givan into custody . Mr . Broughton , expressed his intentioa to commit them for trial , but ardarad them to be brought up again next week , for the formal completion of the evidence .
WOllSHIP-STREET . —False Accusation and Octkaoeous Conduct bv a Pomcemas . —a young woman named Ellen Bolton was on Thursday charged with disorderly conduct , and obstructing the police in the discharge of their duty . Police constable Amos , II 198 , stated that while on duty in Well-street , Whitechnpel , soon after twelve o ' clock on the preceding night he saw the prisoner aad another woman following a party of men , and assailing them with language of a most offensive description ; he desired them to desist and leave the street , on which the prisoner's companion went quietly away , but the prisoner herself refused to < Jo so , and used such abusive and insulting language towards him that he found it necessary to take her into custody . Whea called upon for her defence the prisoner earnestly denied the charge , which she declared bad been fabricated by
the constable , to screen himself from the consequences of bis own scandaleus conduct towards her . She was proceeding , she ssid , in the company of another woman , towards home , through an unfrequented street in Whitechapel-road , down which they had turned to avoid some men who had grossly insulted them , when they met tbe policeman , of whom they inquired the way to Bricklane . Thepoliceman answered with ths most disgusting expresMon , and made improper overtures to them , wbieh they both indignantly « Jested , and were hastening on , wken be pursued them , and seizing hold of the witness , forced ber some distance down a dark tutntag , wh «« , in spitefofber resistance and culls for assistance , he pro . ceeded to take the most infamous liberties with her . She , however , owing to the interference of her friend , succeeded in escaping from him , aad after telling her
assailant tbat she should report bis conduct to his inspector , she was proceeding to the station-house for that purpose , when the constable again overtook her , and declaring that if she went there at all she should go as hit prisoner , instantly seized her by the arm , and conveyed her away in custody . The ^ prisoner added , that tbe young woman who was with her at the time , aud whom she had not seen since the occurrence , would be able , if she were present , to fully confirm everything she had stated . Serjeant Coleman , whoreceired the charge , informed tbe bench tbat the young woman had made precisely the same statement when she was brought to the station-house , and that her conduct while there was perfectly orderly and decorous . —The constable Amos , on being questioned b y tbe magistrate , gave a flat contradiction to the prisoner ' s counter-ac . cusation , and stated that , so far from tbe
prisoner s companion being able to confirm what she had asserted , she , on the contrary , had gone away , when he first addressed them , and be saw nothing more of her after . Mr . Arnold , having ascertained tbatno witness was in attendance in favour of the prisoner , said that he felt bound to give evidence to the sworn testimony of the constable in preference to the prisoner ' s unsupported statement , which was positively contradicted ; and , as the charge appeared to be clearly established , he should at once commit her for seven days to tbe House of Correotion . The prisoner was , therefore , removed to the cells ; but . in the course of an hour after , an intimation having been made to the magiBtrate tbat the young wo . man of whom the prisoner had spoken was in attendance , the prisoner was replaced at the bar , and the following evidence gone . into : —In answer to questions from the magistrate , the witness Jane ReeYg j completely corro ^
Marlborough-Street. — Jones Jones, Whose...
borated the firat part of tbe prisoner ' s defence , and went on to state , that hearing loud screams from tbe other young woman after she had been forced down the court by the constable , she hastened to ber assistance , and found that she had been thrown to the ground by the policeman , with whom she was violently struggling , endeavouring to release herself from nil grasp , and that the constable , - whose dress was disordered , upon her interference , called her an opprobrioui epithet and desisted from further violence . She and tha prisoner then got into the street , and were inquiring of a man the way to the station-house to lay a complaint against the constable , when the latter ran up and instantly took the prisoner into custody , but offered afterwards to let her go if she would say nothing about what had happened . The prisoner , however , persisted in her
determination , and the constable thereupon carried her off to the station-house , followed by tbe witness , who endeavoured to obtain entrance to give testimony in her favour , but was not admitted , and had not since seen the prisoner until she entered the Court . —The officer ( Amos ) was again interrogated by the Magistrate upon the fmh evidence , snd , as before , denied tbat there wa * a particle of truth in it , or that the witness had followed Awn at all after the p risoner was in custody ; Serjeant Coleman , however , in answer to the magistral , here intimated that while he was taking the charge , hot was told by the officer on reserve duty , tbat a womia who had been in the prisoner ' s company was then wait .
ing outride . Mr . Arnold upon this said , tbat after giving tha most ample consideration to the case , he felt hound to state that he believed every word of the prisoner ' s statement , and that it wasfortnnate for the ends of justice that the witness Reeve , who could not bare hid communication with the prisoner , had come voluntarily forward , and so fully confirmed her account of tho transaction . He felt highly gratified at the opportunity thus afforded him of recalling the wholly undeserved sentence he had been induced to pronounce upon ths ) positive testimony of the policeman , and without offering any observations upon that person ' s conduct , which wai not then under adjudication , he should order tha woman to be immediately discharged .
