* MANSIOK-HOUSB . Tcesdat . — Felonious AssirxT ox a Child . — The Lord Mayor was occupied a considerable time in investigating a very serious case of alleged felonious assault upon a little girl ,. "aamed iiaxy Ann lee , by her master , A . V . Wyatt , keeper of an eating-house in Tower-street . In addition to the girl ' s evidence , which had heen given on Monday , the tes timony of Mary Lynam , the o # fc in the house of the prisoner , was adduced in proof of his guilt . — Mr Woolf from Mr . Flower ' s offices , cross-examined the girl , the coo * , and the father of the girl , and at the conclusion of the examination applied to be allowed to give in ban for his client . —The Lord Mayor said he could not think of accepting hail under such circumstances , and Elated that he should commit the prisoner for the felonious assault on Friday next .
"VTEmresDAT . —FoBGEBi . —Thomas Griffiths , who was some days ago charged with having forged a cheque Inthe nam * of Michael Myers , fishmonger , of St . Peter ' s alley , CornhiU , upon the banimg-house of Messrs . Barnard , Dimsdale , and Co ., was brought np for re-examination . At the request of Mr . Bush , the depositions of the several witnesses who had heen examinad were read over . The prisoner was ^ henchargedwithhavingforgedacheque upon the same firm for £ 10 , which check had been paid some days before the check above-described was presented . It purported to hear Mr . Myers ' s signature . —Mr , John -Manning , cashier in the banking-house , stated , that upon examining his books he found he had entered tlie payment of the check now produced hy Mr . Bush on the 13 th ult ., to the best of his knowledge . He paid it in sovereigns ,
but he did not know to whom . —Daniel Forrester , the officer , stated , that he found in a box belonging to the ¦ prisoner , which was in the house in which the prisoner resided , in Finsbury-square , a piece of paper that had been torn off the check produced , as was quite evident from comparison . — -Mr . Mjers declared that the Chech was a forgery , and he had never authorized any person to sign it—The prisoner , was taken from the bar . —Mary "Waldrop , Mr . Myers ' s servant , was brought up for examination , charged with being concerned with the former prisoner in the commission of the forgeries . Sho wept incessantly during theinvestigation . —Mr . Myers stated that the prisoner had lived in his service for several years , hut not for thirteen or fourteen , as he had on her first
examination supposed , On the 10 th of January he toldher that he had been given to understand , hy a gentleman , that she had something to do with Thomas Griffiths in the forgery , and after she was informed that Forrester would be sent for she begged that witness would not send for the officer , and stated that she had found the check in cleaning the counting-house , given it to the prisoner , and showed him how to fill it up . After some conversation with Mr . Goodman , the chief clerk , the Lord Mayor said , that whatever course the prosecutor might consider it necessary to adopt with regard to tl : e prisoner upon the trial at the Central Criminal Court , he felt it to be his duty to commit her for trial as an accomplice with Thomas Griffiths before the fact .
Thebsdat . —Bckglabt . —Howell , Smith , and Franklin , the men who were on Saturday charged with having committed a burglary in the George and Vulture Hotel , were brought before the Lord Mayor for final examination , and committed for trial . Fmdav . — "Land Shakes axd Sea Guixs . " —Two men , named Reilly and Chowus , were charged before the Lord Mayor , with having conspired together to defraud the mate of a vessel which had just arrived from a long ¦ voyage . The case , which excited the greatest interest , ¦ was occasionally interrupted hy hursts of laughter . Mr . E . Morris , tlie proprietor of the East India Arms Tavern , in Fenehurch-strecf , stated that while he was in the cellar some person had gone up stairs , accompanied by a sailor , jind another man laving- speedily followed , there was
reason io Apprehend that all was not right . Something was ordered to drink by the two first visitors , and the witness soon afterwards heard the chinking of a lock , and one of those in the room offered to lay a wager of £ 20 or £ io , upon which an officer was sent for , and the sailor , who was a jolly , open-hearted fellow , and the two prisoners , were suddenly stopped as they were rising ' ' 0 depart , and informed that they must stay a little for the sake of justice . It - » - .. ? , in fact , seen that the two prisoners liad laid a plan for robbing the sailor , and as an attempt of a similar kind had been made about two years before in tlie same house , tlie witness was determined to make an example of the men at the bar if possible . The following particulars were collected from the impetuous and disjointed statement of the mate . As the mate was going along Fenehureh-street , he asked a roan , who happened to be the prisoner Heilly , tlie way
to the station in theMmo-ncs . Keilly said he was going that way luuiself , anf i would show him the way , but proposed that they si i ? . dhave a drop of beer together , and together they w . - . t into the East India Aims , in one of the private rooms of which they had no sooner sat down than in walKcdthe other gentleman Mr . Chowns , who seemed to he . " - \ rite a stranger , began to drink by himself ^ and prodriced a lock which he said nobody could open ; tkeiv . atc . who nevcr , " he declared , hadseen so foolish a lock , in his life , opened it with ease , and another > - ? ' £ . / equally simple and foolish in appearance , havhvg been exhibited by ; Mr . Chowns , he offered to . open that with as little difficulty . Then the vi'j- ^ jgestobet wliich bad been heard by fkc policeman ^ g-wrfenwdc The mate happened to have securities for iaoney about him , but HO hiofley , otherwise the wager would have been , very probably , as he said himself , laid , and the tricfe would have succeeded . Here several flash
notes and counterfeit sovereigns , which were found in the possession of the prisoners , were produced , as were some marked cards . They were both known to the police as common cheats , and one of them had been tried at the Central Criminal Court . It was not until the prisoners and the mate were introduced to the Lord Mayor that the latter had any idea into what sort of company he had unluckily got , and if it had not heen for the keenness of the landlord of the tavern he would no doubt have had to lament the incident which introduced him to their acquaintance , although at that time he had no cash in his possession . — The Lord Mayor : Why , my good fellow , it was a very fortunate thing for you that you escaped so well out of the clutches of these men . — The Mate : I see they are a pair of—— scoundrels , hut
I could have opened twenty such locks , and Fd lay any money of it . You never saw anything so foolish . Why one of these gentleman offered to lay me £ 40 . —The Lord Mayor : And if you had had the money you would have betted ?—The Mate : Yes , I dare say I should , and I'd have won too . ( A laugh . )—The policeman here produced the lock which the mate had opened , and another lock resembling it , which was made so as not to be capable of being opened at all . The sleight of hand substitution of one of these locks for the other was one ofthe modes of obtaining plunder , and in aid of that plan the counterfeit money and bank-notes were kept in pocket-books by tlie prisoners , who were both smartly dressed , Chowns being attired like a respectable countryman . —The Mate : Why , that gentleman that looks like a farmer told us that he was the gamekeeper to the Earl of Pembroke , and he said he had come to town to look for two of his master's hounds that were locked together with the same sort of lock , and that Wherever the dogs were
they must be together , as nobody could open the lock . ( Laughter . )—The Lord Mayor : Bid he say the Earl of Pembroke's dogs had been ^ stolen ?—The Mate : He did so . I advised him to go to the police about the dogs , and 1 did think him a great fool , but I find that I was the fool after aE . ( Laughter . )—Mr . Wolff ( for one of the prisoners ) : Butjou lost nothing hy the transaction ?—The Mate : Nothing at all . I gained by it , for I had some 'beer , and I never paid for it . ( laughter . ) What an unlucky feljow I am . Here I come home after being shipwrecked , and being away three years , and the instant I come ashore I get into the hands of a pair of rascals , and then I am taken up by the police and brought here to comp lain against them , and I want to have nothing at all to do with them , but to call and see my relations and be off to sea again . Was there ev « r so unfortunate a man as I am ?—The Lord Mayor remanded the prisoners , and stated that he would not take less bail for each of them than two good heavy securities for £ 100 each , and their own recognisances in £ 200 each .
Assault . —Adolpkus Yalentinc Wyatt , eating-house keeper , of Tower-street , was committed to Xewgate for trial , upon the charge of having committed a felonious assault upon Mary Ann Lee , his servant .
GUILDHALL . Tuesdat . — "So Go !"—A Ksave Fouxd . — - "William Flood , brother of Noah Flood , who lately committed suicide in "Whitecross-street , leaving an orphan daughter nine years old , again appeared before the magistrate to chum possession of the child , or at least to have £ G , whicli lie had expended while staying iu London to prosecute his claim to his brother ' s effects , repaid to him . —Scott , the City policeman , said he had also expended money , hut he was content that the money should be wholly invested for tho benefit of the child .
—Mr . Alderman Farncomb thought this was completely arranged on Saturday , and that the applicant had returned home . —The applicant asked if the Alderman would not let him have a bit ofthe stuff ( cash ) . —Mr . Alderman Farncomb said , "Not a bit . "—The applicant said he was in apretty state , as he had spent all his cash . •—The Alderman replied , this showed the poor child' s money would have been in a pretty state if it had fallen into his keeping . —The applicant then asked for his hrother * B watch , hut the Alderman refused to give it up , and the applicant retired much chagrined .
Tbossdav—ATMafrTM > Bosci , ABT . —John and George Axtell , two youths , were charged with burglariously entering the chambers of Jfr . "Wise , a barrister , in the Middle Temple ; who stated that he was in bed about nine o'clock on Sunday evening , when he heard some person open the door of the outer chamber with a latch-key . He called the name of his laundress , upon which the intruders ran out of the ' room and dorm the staircase . He jumped out of "bed and pursued them to the door below , calling " Stop " thief .

BOW STREET Tcesdat . —A Cm-cKsi-xia-B Checkha-xed . —A man named Denis George Connell was cliai ^ ed with defrauding Mr . Davenport , ofthe Olympic Theatre , hy using and distributing false checks , or tickets of admission to the gsdlery of that establishment . The circumstances which led to the present charge were somewhat unusual . The prisoner had been employed originally as a painter , and afterwards as a general workman r > the theatre . "While in this capacity he had met with some loose checks
*Mansiok-Housb. Tcesdat. — Felonious Ass...
which h « turned to account by presenting them to his friends , with a caution to avoid the mon » y-taker . On the 6 th of January , the discrepancy between the treasurer s cash account aud the number of checks taken the same evening ; led to an investigation by Mr . Sylvester , the cashier , who caused the prisoner to b « taken to Bowstreet , and on the following morning ( the 7 th ) ho was placed at the bar to answer the charge . But no one appeared against him , and he was therefore discharged ; the proprietary of the theatre having , in fact , decliued to go ou with the prosecution . The prisoner ' s case was
then taken up by an attorney , who commenced an action against the prosecutor for instituting a false charge , « fcc ., whereupon the latter turned round , took the man again into custod y , and now attended with his witnesses to proceed with the case . The evidence went simply to shew the possession of the checks by the prisoner , aud their being tendered by parties who said they had received them from liim ; and Mr . Jardine , after some little hesitation , arising from an inquiry into the above circumstances , committed him for trial at the Middlesex Sessions .

John-street , on tlie previous evening , and asked for some bread ; he was told there was none for him , upon which he coolly took up a penny loaf , saying— " Then I will help myself , " and walked out . He then went to the shop of Mr . Asldey , 50 , Goswell-street , and after surveying the contents of the window for a moment , smashed eleven large panes of glass with his clenched fists , thrusting both his hands through separate panes at the same time . "When arrested , he said he wanted to get into prison . He was fully committed for trial for stealing the penny loaf .
TnunsDAT . -i-lXDiGifAST Justice "Punnro Dowir " Petit Lakcexv . —Christina Roberts , a genteel-looking young woman , of sickly and emaciated appearance , attired in decent black garments , and with an infant in her arms , was charged with stealing some articles of trifling value , the property of ill's , Rowder , in Chad ' s-row , from whom the prisoner rented ready furnished apartments . Mrs . Rowder deposed , that the prisoner had pawned the articles for 4 s ., and the pawnbrokers were present with whom she hadpawned them . —Tlie prisoner : I pawned them , but I did it to save myself and my baby from starvation . I was in great distress . —Mr . Greenwood : But you had no business to take other people ' s property to relieve your distrcss .-Prisoner : Myself niutmy child—The Chief Clerk : Attend to what the magistrate
says to you . You had no business to take other people ' s property to relieve your distress . —The prisoner : I certainly pawned the articles , sir , but great want obliged me ; and , if Mrs . Rowder had not given me into custody , I woidd have replaced them before tomorrow evening . My sister would have lent me the money . —Sfr . Greenwood then had a private communication with the prosecutrix , when he told the chief clerk he wished to speak to him , and they retired into the magistrate ' s room . In a few minutes they returned into court , when the chief elevkhad a private interview with Duke , the usher , and Duke had another private interview with the prosecutrix . The magistrate told the prisoner the case stood over until the following morning ; and she and her baby were removed .
MARYLEBOSE . Tuesday . —Coeious Case . — "TeacHisc the vocsg idea . "—Shortly after the disposal of the night charges , a woman named Hester Aim Bates attended at this court , accompanied by her son , a hoy about 18 years of age , when she made a statement , to the effect that her son had for some time been employed to clean knives , shoes , < S * c , hy Mrs . Einlly Grattan , a lady residing at No . 1-5 , St . John ' s Wood-road , and that his said mistress had pulled him on to the bed in her chamber , and there induced him to submit to her unlawful desires . The
magistrates , after listening to all that had been stated , and receiving replies to numerous questions put hy him , came to the conclusion that the case was one in which he could not interfere , aud the mother and her son then went away . At about three in the afternoon Mrs . Grattan was driven up to the front entriuice of the court in her carriage , and on alighting therefrom and proceeding into the justice-room the woman Bates was placed at the bar charged with having , soon after her application , as before given , had been disposed of , created a disturbance at Mrs . Grattan ' s dwelling , and also with having sent letters to her ( Mrs . Grattan ) with the view of extorting money . Mrs . Grattan and Mary Cliff , her cook , proved the disturbance in question , and the former handed to the magistrate some letters which she had received from the prisoner ; they were couched in such terms as to lead to an inference , taking all the circumstances into consideration , that money was the grand object sought for . The boy had , it appeared , been dismissed from his
employment a week or two ago . - Police-constable Maddox , of the S division , produced a letter which was found upon the prisoner when searched at the station-house . It ran thus : — "It is with shame and disgust I sit down to inform you that at last I am fully acquainted with the most disgraceful connexion , if I may so call it , between my child and yourself . Little did the transport ' s sister think when she heard her boy speak of the kindness of his mistress , the price that was paid for that kindness ; little did she think that her child , not 13 years old , would be a bsdfcUow to his mistress . Little doe ? his lordship know that the time when he asked admission to his bed-room , my chad was there . You may make what you like of this" Mr . Rawlinson ( to Mrs . Grattan ) : Who do you imagine is meant by "his lordship ! " Mrs . Grattan : No doubt the Count Batthyany . The most positive denial was given with regard to the disreputable allegation as affecting Mrs . Grattan , and the prisoner was ordered to find good bail for keeping the peace .
MARLBOROUGH STREET . Tuesdat . —A Pbecious Wipe . —A smartly dressed woman , about thirty-five years of age , was brought hefore Mr . Hardwick , * charged with having stolen £ 132 iu money , a gold watch , and other articles , the property of Thomas Souths- !! , of Reading . The accused , when put to the bar , said her name was Martha Johnson , llichard Webb , of 46 , Eagle-street , Red Lion-square , said he saw Thomas Southall last Friday , who told him that his wife had absconded from Heading on Christmas-eve , taking with her upwards of £ 1-30 in money and other property . Southall begged witness to endeavour to trace out his fugitive wife , and if he found her to give her into custody , and send him word that he might come up to prosecute . Mr . Hardwick asked the woman if she was Southall ' s wife ! The woman said she was lawfully married to Southall , and she had her certificate at home . She had
given the name of Johnson , because that was her maiden name . The witness Webb said he had been since Friday last occupied in tracing out the woman . He had at last found her in a shop in George-street , Foley-place , wliich shop she had opened as a potato warehouse with the money she had taken from her husband . The chief clerk inquh'edif tlie husband suspected his wife of having absconded with any man ! The witness said the husband believed that his wife was with a man named Morris ) but this was not the fact , as he found her living with a man named Nixon . Mr . Hardwick said the affair appeared to be one betwixt man and wife , and he had no authority to act . The witness said he believed the husband had proof that his wife had committed bigamy . He hoped , therefore , the magistrate would order her to he detained until he had power to send to Beading for tho husband . Mr . Hardwick declined to detain tho woman , and she was immediately discharjed .
WORSHIP-STREET . WOBSHIP-STBEET , jWEONESDAT . —THREE SHABPS AND a Fiat . —Eliza Smith , Anne Lowry , and Mary Ann White , three women of abandoned habits , were charged with having stolen hank-notes and gold of the value of £ 23 , from the person of a gentleman named Cbinnery , holding a public situation in the city . It-appeared from the evidence of police-constable Lee , 179 N , that while on duty at four o ' clock on Sunday morning in Francesstreet , City-road , he heard cries for the police at the further end of the street , and on hastening to the spot met the prosecutor , who told him that he had just been robbed of all Ms money , amounting to £ 23 , by some women in a house which he pointed out . On questioning him as to the rohberv , the prosecutor stated , that as he was
returning home , at two o ' clock that morning , he was accosted by Smith , who enticed him into tlie house in question , where he also found the two other prisoners . He had only been in their company a short time , when he found that his pockets had been rifled and the whole of his money abstracted ; on making which discovery ho immediately accused the women of robbing him , aud they in their turn expressed extreme surprise . He assured them that such was tho fact , and requested them to search his pockets , to satisfy themselves that all his money was gone . The women readily did so , and one of thenl , after feeling in his waistcoat pocket , produced from it two £ 5 notes , much crumpled , which she exhibited , to convince liim of his mistake , and then , as he supposed , replaced them in his waistcoat . Hewasstill anxious , however , about the balance in gold , and asked them to search him for that
also , a request they complied with , hut not with the same happy result . They condoled with him upon his loss , in wliich each of them denied any participation , and then suddenly left the apartment * . ; but the instant they had done so he was astonished at discovering that the two notes , which he was satisfied he had seen securely deposited in his waistcoat pocket , had also disappeared . He hastened down stairs , and there seeing the three women preparing for flight , expressed his determination to give them all into custody . So far from this meeting with any opposition , one of the women declared that that was just what she wanted , and that she ' wouhl go for a policeman herself , and have the matter cleared up . The prosecutor consented to this arrangement , and the woman went out : but , having patiently waited a long time without cither the policeman or the woman making their appearauce , he was at length convinced that a trick had
*Mansiok-Housb. Tcesdat. — Felonious Ass...
been played him , and , going to the street-door , raised the alarm which the constable had heard . —Mr . Broughton asked why the prosecutor was not in attendance . —The witness replied , that the prosecutor hadbeen compelled to leave town upon urgent business , but had requested that the prisoners might be detained , to enable him to attend and establish the case . —Mr . Broughton said he should certainly do so ; and the prisoners , who aU protested their innocence , were then remanded . Thursday . —Extbaobpinaby Case , —Richard Smith , Joseph Isaacs , and Henry Coster , three respectable-looking lads , whose ages varied from fifteen to eighteen years , were charged before Mr . Bingham with having administered a quantity of powdered cantharides to Mrs . H . Collins , the wife of a fruit-salesman in Spitalfields market ,
whereby her life hod been seriously endangered . It appeared from the statement of Mr . Joseph Collins , the husband of the injured woman , that on the morning of the 14 th inst . his wife , while passing through the market , was stopped hy the prisoner Smith , the son of a respectable tradesman in the neighbourhood , witli whose family she was well acquainted , who invited her into the counting-house to take breakfast . She declined doing so , having an infant at the breast which required her attendance at home , and left the market ; but at her return , in the course of half an hour , she again saw Smith , in company ofthe second prisoner , at the door of the countinghouse , and he again pressed her to take a cup of coffee with him . She then consented , and drank a small quantity from a cup he handed to her , but hesitated
whiledrinking it ; on seeing which , the prisoner Isaacs asked her to take some more sugar , which she declined , as it was already so sweet she could scarcely swallow it . She then went away ; but about half an hour after became so seriously ill , that she was obliged to be conveyed home , where she got gradually worse till the evening , when her illness assumed such alarming symptoms , that a surgeon was hastily sent for , who , upon examining her , at once pronounced that she was labouring under the effects of a powerful dose of cantharides , and that her life was placed in imminent jeopardy . By judicious treatment tho dangerous symptoms had now considerably abated , hut his
wife still continued in such a debilitated condition as wholly to preclude her attendance at the court . —Policesergeant H 1 had ascertained that the deleterious ingredients had been purchased at the shop of Mr . Hopkins , a chemist , in Union-street , hy the lad Coster , who had presented an order for it in the handwriting of the prisoner Smith , but signed with a fictitious name . —Mr . Bingham said that he should discharge the youngest of the prisoners , as it appeared he had merely been an unconscious agent in the hands of tlie other two ; hut with regard to Smith and Isaacs , he should require them to find bail for their appearance on a future day , when the wife of the prosecutor had sufficiently recovered to give evidence .
3 SOUTHWARK . Monda . Sacmleqe . —This morning information was received at tlie station-house of the L division , that Christ Church , in the Blaekfriars-road , had been entered on the preceding night , and an iron chest opened containing several articles of communion plate , which had been taken away . From the statement of the eextoncss it appeared that about halfpast eight o ' clock on Sunday night , the service being concluded and the congregation gone , she locked tho vestry-room door and then quitted the church by the principal entrance , which she also locked after her , ot which time she left everything safe in the interior of tlie edifice . Ou approaching the church the following morning , at a quarter-past seven o ' clock , she perceived that the door was ajar , and knowing
that she had secured it the previous night , she at once suspected that thieves had made an entrance . On going into the church her suspicions were immediately verified , for she discovered the lid of an iron chest kept on the left of tlie entrance to the vestry-room open , and the door of the latter apartment also wide open , and everything in a state of contusion therein . Tho thieves appeared to have regaled themselves in tho vestry with wine and cake , two empty bottles being found on the table . Iu the room they broke open some drawers aud a small mahogany box belonging to the vestry clerk , in which was usually deposited a considerable sum of money , hut upon the present occasion there was but a mere trifle . Prom the iron chest there were taken four communion plates ,, one chalice , and two cups , none of which had been iu use
tor a considerable number of years , aud were only plated articles , but had all the external appearance of the genuine metal . Two scarfs and sonic other articles of trifling value were also found to have been carried away , together with some prayer hooks taken from the varions pews . Inspector Evans proceeded to the church , and from his inspection it would seem that the thieves had entered during the service ou the preceding evening , and secreted themselves in the belfry , wliich is well adapted for such a purpose , until tho congregation had withdrawn , and then commenced the work of plunder . Some burnt lueifer matches were found strewed about in different directions in the church and the vestry , and it was ascertained the iron chest had not been forced , for the key was always kept hanging up in the latter room , with ' which it was opened , being found replaced in its former situation . The communion plate , which has been in use for some years , is of solid silver , but , owing to an act of sacrilege committed iu the church some considerable time
ago , the various articles were uniformly removed from thence to a place of more safety ever since that occurrence ; and tlie plated ones , deemed of but little value , were left in the iron chest , from which they were taken by sacrilegions hands , in the expectation , no doubt , that they were composed of silver . There were no marks of violence having been resorted to by the thieves perceptible in any part of the building they had visited , except the mahogany box , the lid of wliich was prized open-with a "jemmy , " or some such instrument . And on quitting the church , after emptying the wine bottles , they departed , leaving the door open after them . From the distance of the porch of the church to the street , beyond the iron railing enclosing the grave-yard , it was impossible for the policeman on tho beat to be enabled to discern the condition of the church doors as ha was going on his rounds in the night . The thieves could not have experienced much difficulty in ' surinounting the iron palisades , which are low in many parts , and getting clear o &' . The police are in active search of them .
Tuesday . —The Saiiok—The Uxfoiitunate— The Scouxdbel— Tub Law ' s Justice !— Isabella Ludhani was brought before Mr . Traill , charged with robbing tlie captain of a vessel , called the Sir Robert Sale , lying in St . Katherine ' s Docks , of a watch and guard , together with a gold pin and a cloak ; and William Simms , a man in business , with whom she cohabited , was charged as an accessary after the fact . It appeared that on the night ofthe 27 th ult . the captain of the Sir Robert Sale was induced to accompany the female prisoner to a house of ill fame , in Herhcrt's-buildings , Lambeth . When he awoke in the morning he found his companion had gOne off , taking with her the articles above specified , although he took the precaution of depositing his watch , a valuable one , underneath the piUow . Having given a description
ofthe prisoner at the station-house , she was taken into custody , brought ^ before the magistrates at Union-hall , but was ultimately discharged , in consequence of none of the stolen property being traced . Nothing more was heard of the charge until the preceding night , when the whole ofthe facts attending the robbery were brought to light owing to the accidental circumstance of a serious quarrel between the two persons in custody , which will be gathered from the subjoined account . —Policeman 83 B stated , that on the preceding night , at a late hour , while an duty in TothiU-street , Westminster , his attention was srrested by hearing a violent quarrel between the prioners , and on his approaching the man , Simms immediately accused the woman with havin |& obbcd the captain
of an Indisunan , and insisted upon giving her into custody . The parties were then taken to the station-house , where Simms reiterated the charge against his teUow prisoner , and entered minutely into all tho details of the robbery , and also described where the stolen articles were pledged . The woman against whom the charge was made did not attempt to deny what had been uttered against her , and declared that sho was the victim of the man who had divulged the robbery that it was owing to his persuasions she committed it , and that having shared in ths plunder , he afterwards betrayed her . The policeman added that both the prisoners were detained at the station-house . Mv . Traill here directed Simms to b » released from th « bar and to ascend the
witness box , in order to give his evidence . He stated that he was a plasterer by trade , and lived at No . I , Catherinecourt , near the Cloisters , Westminster , and that the prisoner had been under his protection for a considerable time . —He was here asked if ho had any charge to make against the atcused , and he replied in the affirmative , and then proceeded to state that at an early hour on the morning of the 28 th ult . sho returned home , and on en . tering the room where he was waiting her arrival she immediately produced a watch , gold pin , a gold guard , and also a cloth cloak , and said she had ' robbed a captain of a vessel while he was asleep . Simms went on further to state that the articles in question were subsequently pledged by the prisoner , and be mentioned the name of the pawnbrokers with whom she had deposited them . He
added , that she had pledged the articles herself , and that he had no hand in it ; that thoy had quarrelled the night before , and that ho determined on divulging tho ciremmstances , and accordingly did so and was surprised that after such a disclosure as he had made it , should have been deemed requisite to take him into custod y . Mr . Traill ( to tlie prisoner ) : You have heard what this man has stated ; have you anythhigto say !—The prisoner , who is an extremely well-looking young woman , said that now matters had assumed the aspect they did she had no intention of denying the accusation made against her that day by tlie man of all others who was the last who ought to have betrayed her . That in order to support him In comfort she had become a prostitute , and he knew it well . That on the very night she robbed the captain of the vessel , before she left home , Simms , addressing her , "desired her to go out , threatening to beat her if she returned
without money or money s worth ; that he told her to pick up the first well-dressed man she met , and that when he was asleep in tlie house where she took him she could then rob him of all ho had about him , and leave the house . She added that she was now aware that she was wrong for adopting that advice , but still confessed she did it ; and she solemnly protested that the man to whom she had fallen a victim had accompanied her to the pawnbrokers ' , waiting outside while she went in and pledged the stolen articles , she giving him the greater portion of the money raised upon them . —Simms , however , denied the latter assertion , and said that he was always willing to support the prisoner , but that her love of dress and company was her ruin . —Mr . Traill asked Simms why he had kept the secret ofthe robbery for ten days , and now came forward to appear against the accused ?—Simms , in reply , said that he was only influenced by a sense of justice in flic case . That when he first
*Mansiok-Housb. Tcesdat. — Felonious Ass...
threatened to divulge the circumstances attending the robbery tho prisoner declared that if ho did she would try all she could to transport him , but that having had some high words with heron the preceding night he thought it a very fit opportunity for disclosing the facts . The captain of the Sir Robert Sale , who was in attendance , having heen apprised ofthe apprehension ofthe prisoner , iden tified her as the person whom he accompanied to the house in Herbert's-buildings , and described the circumstancci of the robbery , and ofhis having missed her from Ids sido on the morning it was committed . The prisoner who seemed to be much affected at the situation in which she was placed , was then remanded .
YTedhesdat . —Vioi ^ ting a Child . — "William Camplin , the marine store-dealer of Star-corner , Bermondsey , remanded since last Wednesday for violating the person of Jane Matthewa , a g irl under 13 years of age , was brought before Mr . Cottingham for re-examination on the charge . It will be recollected that on the former examination the girl in giving her evidence stated , that she was sent by her mistress , a woman named Baker , to accompany the prisoner part of the way home on the night of the alleged outrage ; that he forced her fnto his house , made her drink two glasses of raw gin , and afterwards carried her up stairs to his bedroom , and , notwithslandlng
her struggles , committed the offence . — -The prisoner , however , contradicted the girl ' s statement , and he now called a lad named Nicholls , who worked for him , to disprove her evidence . —The lad alluded to stated , that on the evening in question the prisoner entered his shop , followed by the complainant , and that when she got there a bottle of gin was produced , out of which she poured three glasses of the liquor one after the other , and drank them ; that she afterwards went intotheparlour with the prisoner and stayed there a few minutes , and then they went up stairs , she following him ; that the girl came down in about an hour afterwards , went into the parlour , put on her shawl and bonnet , and left the house without making any complaint . The witness added that he and a man named Dipnell
were in the shop at the time she left . In reply to Mr . Cottingham , the witness said , that he observed no marks on the girl ' s face as if she had been struck . He afterwards admitted that he did not notice her face , as ho was engaged at work in the shop when she was passing through . —When the complainant was confronted with this witness she still adhered to her former statement relative to the force used in taking her up stairs , and that there was no person in tho shop at the time ; that it was also untrue that sho left her shawl in the parlour , for she had no shawl on her that night , and that the prisoner made her swallow the liquor before he forced her up into his room ; that in her hurry to escape from the house sho left one of her own shoes there , and put ou one belonging to tho prisoner ; that she
was bleeding from the nose when she got down stairs , owing to the blow given her by tho prisoner when she resisted his violence . —Mr . Cottingham had the evidence of Nicholls taken down , remarking , that there was very little doubt he had told the most egregious falsehoods , with a view to an indictment for perjury , if it should be considered necessary . —Tho prisoner , although recommended by the magistrate to reserve what lie had to say for his trial , proceeded to enter into a lengthy account of the -whole of the proceedings of the evening in question , in the course of which ho declared the complainant voluntarily accompanied him home , and that whatever did occur was with her consent . He was then committed , bail being refused for his appearance to answer the charge .
HAMMERSMITH . Mondat . — . Extensive Robbebt . —Extbaobdiwabt Case , —A tall man , respectably dressed , discribed on the police-sheet as Angus Gillies , thirty-five years of age , who was stated to have been a constable of the A devision of the metropolitan police force , and also to have belonged to the constabulary of Edinburgh and Glasgow , was brought up before Mr . T . Pnynter , the sitting magistrate , in the custody of police-constable Wyness , D 43 , who had apprehended him in Invcrnessshire , in Scotland , on a charge of having stolen tho sum of £ 105 in Bank of England notes , tho property of Mrs . Mary Lewis , of No . 3 , Chapel-side , . Bayswater . Mrs . Mary Lewis , a female of respectable appearance , about sixty years of age , stated , on that occasion , that the prisoner , to whom she was
engaged to be married , came to her ou the 25 th of Novemher last , at Bayswater , for the purpose of going to take a coffee-shop on Ludgntc-hill , for the good-will of which tliey had paid a deposit of £ 5 a day or two previously . She had then just sold out £ 170 in the Three per Cents ., at the Bank , which she had in her possession . When they were about to start , the prisoner told her that she bad better give him the money ; to which she replied , " Very well , Mr . Gillies , as you will have to pay it , I ' ll give it to you ; " and she forthwith gave him fifteen £ 10 , and three £ 5 Bank of England n » tes . They then went together to Ludgatc-hill , to the coffee-shop , and after examining the property they were about to take , they went into a private room to settle the affair . While there , the prisoner jumped up from his seat , apparently in a great fright , and said , " My God ! I have lost the pocket-book
containing tho money . " She immediately said , " That is impossible , for we have been nowhere for you to lose it . " The prisoner then said , " I must have dropped it in your room , " and asked her for the key of her room , saying he would go back and seek for it . Tie then went away alsne , and slia waited a long while until he came back , when he said it was not there , and he must have dropped it on the road . They then went together to the Bank , and got the numbers of the notes , and stopped them , when they walked home together . After this the prisoner made himself scarce , but was found in Invernessshiro ; there had been traced to him six £ 10 notes , two £ 5 notes , and forty sovereigns . In his boxes there was a large quantity of wearing apparel , fire-arms , gunpowder , shot , -fcc . ; and on his person £ 28 in gold , some silver , and a bill of exchange for £ 02 . The prisoner was remauded to await further evidence .

Entbappinc an Ibisiiman . —Tbeacherous Conduct op a Coineb . —On Saturday , a miserable-looking Irishman , named Thomas Skane , was brought before Mr . llushton , at the police court , on a charge of having been found in the act of manufacturing counterfeit shillings and sixpences in a collar in North-street . Officer 53 stated , that , in consequence oi information he had received , he went to the cellar in question about seven o'clock that morning , and found tho prisoner standing close by the fire , and papers containing twenty-nine counterfeit shil . lings , ) thirty-ons counterfeit sixpences , a mould , and some plaster of Paris about the grate , — -Crowe , the landlord of the hous * , stated that the prisoner had taken the cellar from him about eleven 6 ' clock the day before , and that he shortly after brought a half hundred of coals and
made a fire . —The prisoner , iu his defence , said he was a poor labouring man , and that he had just returned from Manchester . where he had been a member of the Labourers ' Society . That society had been allowing him 15 s . a week while ho was out of work , and contributed the sum of ' 8 s . on Thursday last to pay his expenses to reach Birkenhead , where he expected to get employment . In coming over from Manchester he met a young man of the name of Wm . M'Uonnell , who represented that , by taking a house , and joining in business together , they might be able to make a subsistence . The cellar in North-street was accordingly taken , and the business of coining was commenced by M'Donnell . Tho prisoner assured the court that he was not aware of the purpose for which the cellar was taken , and that he was merely settling the fire when the police
arrested him . —Officer 53 , on being recalled , said the prisoner , on his way to the Bridewell , asserted that he was innocent oi the charge , and it was M'Uonnell who made the shillings . He then described M'Donnell , aud tho description answered that of the person who had given tho information . —Mr . Commissioner Dowling : 1 think it right to state now , sir , for your information , that tho evening before last the man spoken of , Wm . M'Donnell , came to me and asked ine what I would give him if he would put me up to a Mint case . I told him I was not iu the habit of giving money to any one for information given in that way , but that I must know more about tho case before I could say anything . He promised to call when the tiling was ready , probably tlie next day : and I gave
him distinctly to understand that I would not lend myself to anything in the shape of a dishonourable transaction ; in other words , that I would not assist in making a case . I had uo knowledge of the man , but I ascertained from him that he had just come out of Kirkdale , where he had been imprisoned on a charge connected with base money . He then went away , and yesterday afternoon he called again , and told me that he aud another man had taken a cellar ; that the police mi ght take the man at work in the morning ; and that they intended to make a great deal . I asked , '• What do you mean by they ? Have you both taken the place V Ho replied , " Oh , no . I have not been seen in that . The other man took it . " I asked who was
to make the money , and he said , " The other man can make it as well as myself . " He then said , " But , if he is taken at work , I must have some money before his conviction . If I were to go to Mr . Beswick , of Manchester , with this information , he would advance me £ 1 or £ 2 . " I told bun that if he gave such evidence as to produce a clear and proper case the Mint would reward him accordingly , and that I should have no objection , if I saw it was a clear and proper case to ad vance him something on account of the Mint . He then said he should be at the place , and that if I would send some officers to meet him at six in the morning opposite tho Mitre Inn , Dale-street , he would shew them where to find the man at work . He left me with the understanding that the officers ' should be sent ; but I wag so satisfied
of the vihany of the fellow that I was determined fo have nothing to do with Inm , and I did not send the officers Ho is in court at present . Mr . Rushton : Put the fellow W " % ffi at | , 0 nCe ' , Y ° U did < luite ri e ' ' D ^ - hng MDonuell was litre taken into custody , and put to the bar alongside the other prisoner . Mr . Rushton hen sa . d that he should be obli ged to submit both cases , to the consideration of the law officers of the Crown , who ho hoped , would take the same view of it he did himself ! He knew not whether Skane had been implicated in matters of this kind before . Skane ; Never , your honour never , the prisoners were then remanded , and the whole of the circumstances , together with Mr . Bowling ' s statement , were transmitted to the law officers of tlie Crowu .

PLYMOUTH . Leoiurb bt Mr . M'Grate . — Hearing that Mr . M'Grath would pay this town a visit on his way to Cornwall , the friends here set about procuring a fitting place of meeting . Unfortunately every such place in the town , save one , was prc-cngaged . The exception was the Corn-chambers , for the use of Avhich application was made to our libend mayor . The application was refused , on tlie ground that we interfered with the liberal freebooters ! The long room at Stone-houso was ultimately procured , where Mr . M'Grath delivered a lecture on Thursday
evening , January 9 th , to a most respectable audience . The subject of tho lecture was— " Have we a Avellgrounded hope for Mankind ' s Social and Political Redemption ? " Mr . M'Grath spoke for upwards of an hour and a half , in a strain of masterly eloquence , and was rapturously applauded throughout . On his sitting down thanks were voted to him hy acclamation . Several cards were disposed of , and ten shillings and sixpence collected at the door . We expect a visit from Mr . M'Grath again , on liia return from Cornwall , when we will do our utmost to make his labours beneficial to tho cause .

The above preliminary meeting will be held either on the 4 th or 5 th of the ensuing month ; all communications respecting the same must be addressed to Mr . T .

Summons for Wagis . —On Monday last , at tlie Bolton Borough Court , Mr . Thomas Birch , cotton spinner and manufacturer , Little Bolton , was summoned by a carder , named James RothwelJ , for £ 1 V 2 s ., being a fortnight ' s wages . Rothwell alleged that ho had been induced to leave another situation to go to Mr . Birch , and that he was afterwards turned off without a moment ' s notice . On tho other hand , Mr . Birch stated , that he found Rothwell neglecting liia work , and allowing the machinery to stand , and that ho was very insolent when he complained of his conduct . —The Mayor said , that if Mr . Birch was dissatisfied with his work , ho ought to have given him a fortnight ' s notice . —Mr . Darbishiro said , the magistrates were very strict in requiring workpeople
to give notice before leaving tlisir employment , and it was equally necessary that they should require a similar act of justice on the part of masters . Mr . Birch was ordered to pay the amount , with expenses . Bradford Shoemakers . — On Monday evening a meeting of the Shoemakers' Society was held at the Boy and Barrel Inn , Westgate , when the balance sheet of the income and expenditure during the strike was laid before the meeting : tho expenditure £ 378 , the income £ 2 ) 35 , the debts duo by the association and the section £ 93 . The following resolution was unanimously carried— " That tho thanks of this meeting arc cordially tendered to the Editors of the Northern Star , for the able manner in which that paper lias defended the rights of Labour ; and also for the assistance rendered to the Shoemakers' Society of Bradford during their late straggle to maintain their wages . " MAKcmisrBn , TFediTOSdat . -Axotiibb of Labour ' s Tniunrns . —Wo aro happy to sav that owing to the
combined influence of tlie Building Trades of Manchester , the proud and imperious firm of Pauling , Henfroy , jjind Co ., have had to bend to the j ust demands of their workmen . This has been a long and arduous struggle , but it has terminated in the triumph of the men . So long as Pauling , Henfrey , and Co . had only to contend with one of the trades at a time , theyeasily beat the men ; but when the whole of the Building Trades determined upon standing b y each other , the despots had a power to contend with which has proved more than a match for them . Let the other trades in the country look at this victory and learn their duty . A meeting was held in the Carpenters' Hall , on Wednesday evening , to take tho necessary steps to support the men who are out or work this week ; when , at tho termination of tlie business , thanks were voted to tho chairman , Mr . Levens , for his nohlo conduct during the recent straggle .
Edikburgh . — In pursuance of tbe resolution passed at the last meeting held in Edinburgh , of which we sent you notice , the committee of the working classes called another meeting of the inhabitants , which took place in the South-bridge Hall on Tuesday , 7 th January . Long before the hour of meeting , numbers of people assembled before the door , on the opening of which , the Hall was crowded to suffocation . _ The interest excited is deep and thrilling ; and it is a matter of astonishment to us that the other districts of Scotland have not already turned their attention to the subject : but we would earnestly exhort them to bo up and doing , while they yet have time to throw the shield of public opinion round the aged , the innmi , the
heluless , and the destitute : for should the abominable recommendations of the coniniissioners bo adopted by the House of Commons , in the formation of a new Poor Law for Scotland , then long and deeply will be their regret for their present indifference to the threatened measure , affecting as it does the vital interests of the working classes . —Mr . Walker was unanimously called to the chair , and opened tho business of the meeting ; when Mr . Peddle was called on to give a report ofthe printing committee , which he did to the entire satisfaction of the meeting . Among other tilings , he stated that the committee , in pursuance of the instructions received at tho last meeting , had made extracts from the Poor Law Commissioners' report , in a small tract , price
two-pence . Thissmallpampluet contained information wliich every working-man and every working-man ' s friend should possess . Mr . Green then read , and commented on the evidence of Mr . Aitken , which he considered to be a tissue of silly inconsistencies and grosi falsehoods . Mr . Brogden stated that the object of his addressing them , was to place before them a clear and distinct proof that the evidence of Mr . Aitken against trades unions , especially that part of it relating to the Curriers , was grossly untrue ; and he could not compare him to anything in existence , unless it was to one of those miscreants who walk about tlie courts of London with a straw in their mouths , ready to swear anything for two shillings and sixpence each oath . Mr . Brogdcn ' s address produced a powerful effect on all present . The following resolution was then proposed by Mr . Green , and seconded by Mr . Brogden : — " Resolved , that this meeting , having heard full
and clear proof that the evidence of Mr . J ohn Aitken , g iven before the Scotch Poor Law Commissioners , is inconsistent with truth , hereby instruct then * committee to put T . S . Buncombe in possession of these proofs , in order to prevent the House of Commons passing any measure against Trades Unions , based upon falsehood . " This resolution met with the approbation of the meeting . Mr . Stewart requested that the motion should lie over till next week , to give Mr . Aitken an opportunity of explaining . Mr . M Leod stated ,- on the part of tbe committee , that they had no objection to act on Mr . Stewart ' s suggestion , having no personal feelings against Mr . Aitken , but merely dicharging a painful public duty in supporting the resolution . Tlie meeting agreed to this arrangement . Mr . Baker then read the evidence of Dr . Chalmers , but , from the lateness of the hour , had not time to comment upon it . The meeting then adjourned till that night week .

Mr . Healy , parish priest , while addressing his congregation , in the course of which Mr . Healy made allusion to the riotous and disorderly conduct of Harrington ' s son Jeremiah , on the previous Sunday , at Fires , at which Harrington took offence , and used several exciting expressions to Mr . Healy , the consequence of wliich was that Mr . Healy cursed him at the time from tlie altar . On Sunday , the 20 th , the same Mark 0 'Sullivan took up his position by the altar ofthe chapel for the purpose of hearing prayers , but his presence there being

The Polytechnic—We Have Once Ov Twice Vi...
The Polytechnic—We have once ov twice visited this excellent institution , and have been delighted by tlie beauty and order evinced in the arrangement of the numy si . lon Jiu works of art . To detail the whole of the amusements would be too much : a notice of a few , therefore , must suffice . The diver , with his brazen helmet , seems to bave his share of attention ; audit we may judge by the cash ha finds at the bottom of the well , is not without his patrons . The " washing" and the " . mangling" seem to he exceedingly well ' ¦ done ; " and the " wringing" or ( Irving machine seems calculated to save many fair ladies' nrfll ! - ' , aud their caps and frills , too , from this terrible process . Wc expect all these new and improved apparatus will be prepared for the national " wash-us ; " and would suggest that soma such person as the one engaged at the Polytechnic should be employed to teach the learners , or there is no tcllinS how they may " mangle" us iu the beginning . Iu the superior magic circle , the pvotcoseopc seems to be wdl worthy of attention . This is a mode of showing opaque objects upon a disc , by the use of the magic hinthoru . Small plaster easts are magnified and represented as huge
hgiu-es m statuary ; small coloured prints appear as large and heautiful paintings : the effect produced is really astonishing , and seems to add a new power to those already possessed b y the magic lanthorn . The physioscop ' is also well worth notice . Uy this instrument the " face divine" becomes magnified into that of a monster . Tlie eating and drinking part of the exhibition proves tlie original of the representation to be a living human facf , but tlie mode of representing it puzzles even old dabblers in magic matters . The chvomatrope appears to be an imitation , by the magic lanthorn , of what is sometimes shown under the name of Chinese fire-works . Tho movements are much more complicated , the changes are excellent , and the el & ct produced is really pleasing * . The Iktures on chemistry , by Dr . llyan , deserve ' especial notice . The manner of the lecturer is pleasing ; the lectures liig lil ? amusing ; and the matter of the lectures extremely instructive ; wliich is more than can be said of chcnuM lectures generally . They are usually very drv affairs , in which the tedium is only relieved by the hnUhhig bow ot the lecturer .
