TUESDAY . —A F-3 KA 1 E CHASOED WITH _ATHMPIIKC _io Shoot a Scouhdkei-. — A female of respectable appearance :, named Ann Fox , aged between thirty-four and thirty-five years , was _brought before the" Lord _ 4 fayor , in the custody of Inspector Waller , charged with having firedapistol at and -wounded ayoungmahof the name of Shomas Moms with small snot . The prisoner , upon bang placed at tbe bar , appeared to be agitated in the extreme . She was defended by Jlr . Pelham , and did not utter a word during the examination . The prosecutor said he accused the prisoner of having shot him in the ilugh on the preceding evening . He was coming ont of a chemist ' s warehouse , ui Laurence _Pountney-lane , in which ne was assistant , _and file moment the _nrisoner _. who was

      oppositetotte warehouse , got sight of hira , she fired at mm . AbQ Ut twenty shots penetrated the skin , and most of them dropped out of themselves . "When she fired she was _atthedfetance of twoyards , or two yards and a half , from him . He immediately closed the door , and wentinto the warehouse to examine the wound he felt she had inlicted . The pistol produced was a small one , and had heen purchased b y the prisoner a short time before she _xised it , at the shop of a pawnbroker in Oxford-street . The prosecutor was severely cross-examined by Mr . Pelham , who elicited from him that he became acquainted -with thc prisoner some years ago , and bad had criminal intercourse with her , tbe blame of which he threw on her . He admitted that he was a married man . The lord Mayor committed the nrisoner for trial _.

      BOW-STREET . TnrsnAT . —Chabce of _FoscEEr and Swindling . —A young man of fashionable appearance , named Richard Martin , was orought before Mr . Twyford for re-esamination , charged with forging and uttering a check for a _* 2 12 s ., with intent to defraud Mr . James Taylor , a hosier , carrying on business at 13 , Cornhill , and also with swindling several tradesmen of their goods . The particulars _' of this charge were published in the Star of Saturday last . Additional charges were now brought against the prisoner- A bootmaker carrying on business in Oxford-Street , stud that in the month of June last the prisoner called upon him , and having tried on a dress pair of boots , he desired that a person would be sent after him to his chambers in the Albany , and bring some French polish with him , which was accordingly done ; hut on making his appearance he told the messenger he should wait , as his servant was then out of tbe way . The messenger

      waited outside sneh a length of time that the porter inquired what his business might be , and on relating the -nature of his business , he told him that he was ' . ' done , " and that the prisoner had a facility of getting away by a private passage , and which subsequently turned ont to be the case . Sir . Twyford observed , as other -charges might he brought forward , he would have the prisoner remanded for a week . Tbe constable said that there were about twenty tradesmen in . attendance , who were prepared to prove that they had been swindled by the prisoner in a similar manner . A bootmaker and a hairdresser , from Burlington Arcade , said that they had sent _lioine goods to the prisoner ' s chambers , in Chelsea , for which they nerer received the amount , and upon making enquiry for ilr . Pembroke , their customer , they discovered that he had fled . It was stated that the prisoner had beeu In the service of Lord Saye and Sele , when he occupied chambers in the Albany . He was ordered to he remanded .

      WORSHIP-STREET . _MOHUAT . —SlKGDLAIl APMJCATIOM . — THE _CoHVICf ' _s _"Welco-sie Home . —A sun-burnt , , weather-beaten man , about thirty years of age , applied to Mr . Broughton for liis advice and assistance under the following circumstances : —The applicant said , that in the early part of the year 1838 he had the misfortune to be convicted at the Old Bailey on a charge of felony , for which he was sentenced to seven years' transportation . He had formerly been in very comfortable circumstances , and at the time of Ills apprehension was ia possession of an eight-roomed house well stocked with furniture , which he left in charge of his wife until sneh a favourable turn occurred in his affairs as would enable him to reclaim it . After an affecting interview with his wife , who appeared almost heartbroken at his misfortunes , he was transferred to his place of destination , where he served out his sentence , and although

      greatly surprised at not receiving any communication from home during the whole period , he was somewhat consoled upon hearine indirectly that his spouse was in most prosperous circumstances , and he therefore cheered himself with the anticipation of being able on his return home to resume an honest course of life , and spend fhe rest of his days in respectability and _^ comfort . " On reaching this _countiy , about a week since , he proceeded direct to his wife ' s residence , but was astounded at finding her living under the protection of another man , and instead of the fond welcome he had expected , she told him tartly that she considered his conviction had entirely absolved her fi-om the marriage contract , and was resolved that she would haTe nothing more to say to him . Having failed in alibis efforts to work upon her feelings , he reguested that she would at least restore him the goods he liad left in her care , and the greater part of which he recognised in the room , but she positively refused- to do so ; _end her paramour at the same time stepped forward , and after daiming every thing there as bis own property ,

      ordered him instantly out of the house : The applicant concluded by saying tbat he had entirely depended upon the recovery of the property to restore Mm to something like a decent position in society ; and having been dej _randed in sneh a cruel and unjust manner , he wished to " know whether the magistrate could afford him any assistance to procure its restoration . Mr . Broughton informed the applicant , that according to the strict letter of the law everything he possessed at the time of his conviction had become forfeit to the Crown , bnt as fhe sequestration did not appear to have been enforced , and his future prospects of an honest existence depended upon the recovery ofthe property , he would direct one of the officers to see his wife upon the subject , and endeavour ta effect an amicable _arrangement . Sergeant Srannan afterwards repaired with lhe applicant to the house of his wife , and succeeded in inducing her to give him a sum of £ 15 , as an equivalent for the furniture , on the express condition that he should relinquish eveiy claim npon her properly , and never again come near her , to which the husband reluctantly acc- ______ L

      _TVjsnsEsn & _x . —Chakge of Felost . —Thomas Giles , a middle-aged man , of respectable appearance , was placed at the bar for final examination , charged with having stolen a large quantity of household furniture , the property of Mr . James Tann Sommer , ' of Stamford-hill , the secretary of the Stock . Exchange . Several _pawnbrokers were now in attendance , who produced a considerable quantity of the stolen property , which was identified by the prosecutor ' s servants and the greater part of which had been pledged by the prisoner . The depositions were then taken , and the prisoner ( who _re-« exved his defence ) was committed for trial .

      LAMBETH . _THUESt- _W . —Extensive _Sxsteh of _Piutoee . — -Mary and Caroline ? _Cnrnming , sisters , and Ann Renckman , a relation , _whohiTr e been in custody for some days charged with being _concerned in plundering Mr . Shaw , solicitor , residing at No . 11 , -Terrace , "Walworfh-road , of property consisting of plate , _jeVyeucry , and other property , to the amount of nearly £ 700 , were again brought before _ M _ r . ___ Jorton for further exaimna tw 1 } ' The particulars of the Case , as adduced in evidence , _disclosed a system of most Barefaced and wreckless plunder . Thepropertyproduced , consisting of massive and costly articl of plate , splendid diamond brooches , gold and sUver watc- ! 11 _^ . _& c _- » from the shop of Mr . Turner , pawnbroker , in the _^ yalworth-road , completely covered a large table which is _pl _' acedinthe centre ofthe court for the accommodation of _prof essionai gentlemen . And it was considered extraordinary by _^ _ry

      disinterested person present , that property , of such _immense- _^ _aeshoitfaiwve been takeninptedgefrompersons of the prisoners ? description . From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner _Mai-y dimming had formerly _ibeen in the service of Mr . Shaw , and had been succeeded in her situation by her sister Caroline . About eighteen months ago the prisoner Marr commenced pawning articles of plate atthe shop of ilr . Turner , and she then represented the property as belonging to Mr . Back , who she said was her _uncle _^ and who lived at 2 fo . 11 , in the Terrace . Such was the frequency of these pawnings that every article of plate , jewellery , and wearing apparel belonging to Mr . Shaw , musthavefrequent ! ypassedthrou < m the hands of Mr . Turner ' s shopman . A chest of _v-duafie plate , belonging to Miss Calcraft , and which was in the oi

      care . ur . » naw , naa been plundered of its contents , all of winch bad been pawned with Mr . Turner , redeemed , and pawned a second time . Some idea may be formed of the extent to which these pawnings were carried on , from the feet that during the last month articles which bad been in pawn for £ 114 had been taken out while others to & e amountof £ 123 werenled _ged . As much _all _^ _rae _oay was received upon different articles , andapair of sUver taken out again in the afternoon to be used at night , so ffiattiie sum received by the pawnbrokerfor _inSmult Ste _" _- ' * " * •**<¦ * *» _ _SsJtXl

Ballantine , charged with felony . — Mr . _Pelham _appearedfor thepro ? ecution , andMr . Ballantine , jun ., the barrister , and Mr . Feamley , a _solicitor , for -the defence . —The case excited great interest . " The ' _prisoner , a tall well-dressed man , of gentlemanly appearance and good address , is the son of Dr . Barnett , of-Forestreet , Limehonse , and his brother , Mr . Adolphns Burnett , is the registrar of births , deaths , and- marriages ; sad keeps the Post-office _' receiving-house and Moneyorder office , in Three Colt _^ strcet , _limehonsej where the _jrisoner , who has been sometime sought after , was apprehended on Saturday night . —Mr . Felham said the prtfsecntor in this case was Mr . Arthur Atherley Newman , a retired saddler , now living in Kelson-street ,

      _Commercial-Toad , and he charged tiie prisoner not only with robbing Mm of his property , but robbing him of his wife . —The magistrate said he was not in a . condition to try a case of crim . con . —Mr . Pelham was aware of that . Hemeant to confine himself to the charge of stealing the prosecutor ' s goods . Mr . Jfewman was residing in Bower-stree V Commercial-road , in December last ; he had been married to his wife several years , and she had borne him three children . Mrs . Newman wa 3 confined with her third child in the second or third week of _November last , _* _ndin consequence of the want of accommodation in the house , Mr . Newman was obli ged te take lodgings at the Angel , in Fenchurch-street , during his wife ' s confinement . The prisoner , who had been on intimate terms with -Sir . . _27 ewman , took advantage of Ms Mend ' s absence from home , and seduced his wife ,

      Whom he prevailed en to leave her home , and take her goods with her . He was instructed that the prisoner had stolen the goods as well as the wife . The magistrate ; I don ' t know which is the greater loss of the two . How do you shape your _change ! ilr . Pelham : Why , sir , I think 1 can prove the prisoner pawned and sold some of the prosecutor ' s property . Mr . Barnett absconded with -the wife on _thelfith of last December , just a month after the birth of her child . The prosecutor was unable to meet with the prisoner till late on Saturday , having traced him from place to place , when he gave him in ** barge .

      nesses at any wte . - Mr . Newman , who appeared much affected , was then sworn ; and he stated that he " occupied two rooms at the" house , No . 25 _^ Bower-street , where his wife was confined , and he gave one of them up to a female servant , and hired lodgings at the Angel . - After his wife hadbeehconiinedamonth she complained of the weak state of her health , and expressed - a wish , * to go into" the country and visit her father . He gave her permission to do so ; and she left home as he thought for that purpose . Three days afterwards he , wrote to her father to ascertain if she had arrived safe , and was thunderstruck at the reply he received , thatshehadnbtvisltedherfafher atall . Ongomghome he found the place stripped of aB the furniture , and aswith his wife

      certained that theprisoner had eloped . He subsequently traced his furniture to Sheppertoni Cottages , Islington , to which place the prisoner had first removed Mrs . Newman , afterwards to the house of a person named Erick , in Cambridge-heath , Hackney-road , to _Marlborough-place . East Greenwich , and lastly to Upper Yorkstreet , Rotherhithe . —The magistrate : What was their object in moving from place to place . —Mr . Newman said it was done to prevent him recovering his furniture . He had ascertained that his wife pawned a pianoforte , and that tbe prisoner had pawned a bolster and blanket belonging to hiin . —Charlotte Laddins , a young woman , said she was servant to the prosecutor in November and December last , and recollected the visits of the prisoner to her mistress during her confinement . The witness ,

      who seemed to treat the affair with much levity , and appeared anxious to screen the prisoner , entered into a detail of the intrigues of her mistress and Barnett , which created much disgust . She said her master did not sleep at home , in consequence of the want of accommodation , and that she assisted her mistress in packing up the furniture and valuables . The prisoner lent a hand in packing the goods , which were removed in vans , after sunset , She recollected a . buskenet being taken away one Saturday morning by Mr . Barnett . Mrs . Newman left home at ten o ' clock the same morning , and the linen went with her . Witness accompanied one van-full of goods to Erick ' s house . I left the house in Bower-street while Mr . Barnett was in

      bed . —Mr . BaHantine , jun .: The buskenet is a small cradle , and was necessary for the infant , was it not?—Witness : Yes , it was , sir . —¦ The magistrate said it was impossible to carry this case any farther . The charge of felony could not be sustained , and tbe prisoner must be discharged . If the prosecutor could obtain any further evidence , he might go before the grand jury and indict the feUow . —Mr . Pelham : My client has lost the whole of his property . —The Magistrate : That is the greatest loss —much greater than the loss of such a woman as bis wife . —The prisoner was then liberated , and was immediately joined by the prosecutor ' s wife , an impudent little woman , who laughed , and seemed to derive much amusement from the proceedings .

      _Tuesday . —Chaboe op Attempting to Shoot . —John Palmer Smith , solicitor , a person of gentlemanly appearance and good address , who was extremely agitated whilst in tlie dock , was brought up in custody . of police constable 400 K , charged with attempting to shoot Air . William Evans , umbrella manufacturer , Cripplegate-biiildings , City . It appeared that an old gentleman named Smith , uncle to the prisoner , and residing at Maunders-place , Stepney , died a short time since somewhat suddenly , and , amongst others , left some property to the prisoner , who for the most part resided with mm . The complainant was one of the executors to the wiU ofthe late Mr . Smith , and on Monday night , during some conversation which occurred at the house of the deceased , in Maunders-place , amongst the parties most interested in the distribution of theproperty , - the prisoner suddenly drew a pistol from

      liis breast pocket , aud threatened to shoot complainant , but his hand was arrested by a friend , who happened to be near . His conduct for the last fortnight had been very extraordinary , and itwas complainant ' s belief that he was not of sound mind . Mr . James Roberts , surveyor , 15 , Durham-place , Notting-hill , was present at thc time , and saw the prisoner draw the pistol from his pocket , and attempt to cock it . Witness prevented him from using the pistol , bnt suffered him to put it in his pocket again . Whilst he did so he exclaimed , "If any one dares to put his hand on my papers I'll blow his brains out . " When the complainant , -who was witness ' s brother-in-law , left the room , the prisoner drew the pistol on witness : who ,

      however , threw him on his back , and wrested it from him . Witness -subsequently fired the pistol in the air from the back ofthe premises , and , the sound of the-explosion satisfied him that itwas loaded with a bullet , slugs , or shot . The object of the present proceeding was not with a -view to the punishment ofthe prisoner , but that his own friends should be protected from his violence . There was a percussion cap upon the pistol . —Jfr . Ballantine ordered the prisoner . to _fiad sureties to keep the peace , himself in £ 200 , and t ' . vosiireties in " £ 100 each . The prisoner was then locked np , and after some conversation with the prosecutor and the witnesses , who exhibited great anxiety ou his account , h appeared to calm down " considerably .

      SOUTHWARK . Wednesday . —Juvenile _Di-M-aym . _! _-. —Mary Benson , a girl only 13 years of age , was yesterday brought before _ Hr . Traill , charged-with robbing her father on several occasions and absconding from home . The prisoner ' s mother , who was in a state of great affliction while giving her evidence , said that her daughter , although so young , was a girl ofthe most vicious propensities ; that when only 12 y _> arsofageshehadabscondedfromhomeandassociated with a number of girls ahout her own age , with whom she _wasinthehahitoffrequenting the streets ; that ashort time since , after having absented herself from home for nearly three months , during which ' period she was leading a most dissolute life , she was at length found by her parents and brought home , she , however , had not been long in the house when she contrived to break open her father ' s box ,

      when he was out at work , and absconded with ah his Sunday clothes . She was , however , again discovered and restored to her friends , and was finally admitted into an asylum , with a . view that the restraint imposed upon her in such a place might have the effect of producing a reformation in her character . In this hope , however , her family were again doomed to disappointment , for the girl bad not been many days in the asylum when she enticed some of the other juvenile inmates to quit the place , which they , effected by her proposition to scale the wall which surrounded thepremises . The prisoner-finding herself at liberty , once more joined her former vicious companions , and had recourse to a life of infamy in th e streets . She was again rescued from such a career of destruction and taken home , and . for the purpose of preventing her

      from leaving her father ' s roof her clothes were locked up , but she broke open the box , and before quitting took the last shilling her mother had in the house . On the preceding night her mother being out in quest of her found her at one of the common lodging-houses in the Mint , and gave her into custody . The poor woman shed tears , and added that neither she nor her husband really knew what to do with such a child , and that if she was again admitted into an asylum she would contrive by some means or another to get out again . - The prisoner stood quite unmoved at the recital of bervicious course of life , and when asked by Mr . Traill what she had to say in answer to the charge of stealing the shilling , and absconding from home , her reply was that she could not deny it . The prisoner was committed for trial .

In _consequent of information , became _^ . to town , and went to the clerk of _Smithfield-market , who referred bim to the Greyhound Inn , and there he found his horse , which he understood had been sold by the prisoner , for £ i , The prisoner resided in tho same neighbourhood . Sergeant Lambert , of the City police , proved the sale of the horse by the prisoner for the sum

      named . Mr . Doane ( for the prisoner ) submitted that there was no evidence that the prisoner had stolen the horse . He might hare purchased it , as he said he had . — Verdict , not guilty . The prisoner was then charged with stealing two saddles , Mr . Huddlestone " examiued the witnesses in this case , by . - whom it was shown that the stolen articles were found in a chaise on the prisoner ' s premises . Mr . Anderson , the governor of Ilford Gaol , was called to prove that the prisoner was in his custody * , he said , "I am not guilty of stealing the chaise , but I am ef stealing the saddle and harness . " Mr ., Doane again addressed thejury , in the confident expectation of another favourable verdict . " The learnod judge summed up , who remarked on the property being found on thepremises , and the subsequent acknowled gment of the prisoner . The jury pronounced him guilty on this charge , and The court sentenced him to hard labour in the goal of Ilford for six calendar months .

      Tuesday . —Chaboe op Robbery . — A _Heabtlebs Pbiest . —Anne Croft , a respectable-looking young woman , was placed atthe bar , charged with having stolen various articles of sheeting , & c ., the property of the Rev . F . Reeves , her master . From the evidence of the reverend prosecutor , it appeared that in August last his family left their home inMortlake to proceed toBrigbton . The prisoner proceeded there the day previous . On the 25 th of September , from some information which the prosecutor received , he went to the house'of Thomas Neeve , a labourer , residing near his house at Mortlake , where he discovered that the prisoner , before going to Brighton , had left a box in the custody of Neevc _' s wife . This box , the prosecutor identified as belonging to him . Having some suspicions that all was not right , he took the box with him to Brighton , and went with it to the p risoner ,

      who was then living at the Lord Nelson pubkehouse , having left the prosecutor ' s service some time previously . When the box was opened the prosecutor found several articles of sheeting , &<•„ which he identified as his property _. The prisoner asserted that she had bought the articles in Shoreditch , and that her molher could prove it . Immediately after this she was given iuto custody . It also appeared that there was another box which the prisoner had looked up in the prosecutor ' s store-room at home , which , on heing examined , was found to contain a few articles of the most insignificant value , but which the prosecutor swore to as his property . The rev . prosecutor underwent a long aud severe cross-examination by Mr . _ClarkBon . The sheets and napkins alleged to havebeen stolen were produced in court , and were the subject of much merriment , it having appeared that the

      rev . prosecutor had put a high price on articles of the most trifling value , the sheets being all holed through , and of the coarsest quality , while the nap kins were even in a more dilapidated condition . The rev . gentleman was able to put his hand throujh the heel of both the socks which he had valued at two shillings and sixpence ; and , in short , the impression in the court seemed to be that , so . far from stealing the articles , no sane person would think of p icking them off the gutter . —Mr . Clarkson addressed the jury for the defence . He commented iu severe terms oh the unchristian spirit of persecution which the rev . gentleman had manifested in . urging this prosecution . The articles , which it was alleged the prisoner had stolen , were of the most trashy description * , and even admitting that . the persecuted girl at tho bar had made away with the miserable refuse in question ,

      would it not have been more inthe Christian spirit of-ttie religion of which the rev . gentleman was a professor and a minister , rather to teU her to go arid-sin no more , than thus make her tK _$ 'unfortunate-subj ect of his persecution , and alleging for his exeuse , that he did so' from a duty he owed to society . The rev . prosecutor ' s wife , who in the witness-box had displayed the greatest acrimony against the prisoner , and a seeming determination to convict her at all hazards , had contradicteds her husband in several important particulars , while ; he had also contradicted her evidence . So much for the veracity of each , and the amount of trust , to . be placed in their testimony . The rev . prosecutor , with his invariable spirit of charity , had also calumniated the , prisoner's character , by accusing her of drunkenness , but not a single witness had been called to prove this unfounded and slanderous assertion .

      All the articles alleged to have been stolen were , in short , a parcel of rags and such stuff as servants were always in the habit of supposing were their perquisites , after they had been worn to tatters in the service of the house . He implored thejury to show their abhorrence of all malice and persecution by acquitting the unfortunate girl who hadbeen made the subject , of the present prosecution . During the speech of the learned counsel , the poor , girl was in a wretched condition—weeping most bitterlyand goiug from one hysteric fit to another . Her appearance seemed to create a great feeling of commiseration and sympathy throughout the court . Several witnesses gave the prisoner a most excellent character ; and , after the learned Recorder had summed up , the evidence , the jury retired , and , after a short absence ,-returned into court with a verdict of guilty , but with a strong recommendation to mercy . . This _extraordinary _verdicts-extraordinary froin the nature of the evidence produced ,

      and still more so from , the impartiality of the charge delivered by the learned judge—excited the greatest astonishment in the court , the only parties unmoved being the reverend prosecutor and his wife . The learned Judge , in passing sentence , adverted to the recommendation of mercj returned by the jury , In which recommendation he understood the . reverend prosecutor concurred . Mr . Clarksoh , interrupting : The reverend gentleman had not recommended the prisoner to mercy . The Recorder regretted to learn this , and said that a girl who possessed so excellent a character would not be sent to be contaminated by the society of hardened felons in another prison . The utmost punishment which the eourt felt it necessary to inflict upon her was imprisonment for fourteen days in Newgate . The poor girl was carried away in a fainting state , and her wretched condition seemed to inspire a general feeling of sympathy in the _: court , which was more than usually crowded .

      Wednesday . —The Member of the Society fob the Soppbession of Vice and his _ _Cadye-i . ove . —Rebecca Coleman , a well dressed and good-looking nymph of the Strand pave , was indicted for stealing , on the 9 th instant , a watch and gold appendages , of the value . pf 20 guineas , two sovereigns and a half sovereign , the prpperty of Alfred Gadsby , from his person . Mir . Charnock stated ; the case for the prosecution ; and Mr . Payne defended theprisoner . It appeared from the . evidence , that the prosecutor , who is a builder , living in Lambeth-walk , having previously been dining with a friend at a tavern , met the girl in the neighbourhood of the Strand , and after . treating her to Uquor , accompanied her to a house of ill-fame , - where , after staying some time , he missed his property , which was afterwards found on the prisoner . The prosecutor , who _"tatedthathewent withthegirl forthepurpose _ojfrefnrminrh _' pf 'Alaugh ) , underwent a severe _cross-exami-SaSehano _^ Mr . Payne , Mr .

      TmmsDAY . --ArrEMrriNG . to Shoot . - _^ . * _£ ™ indicted for feloniously shooting at Thomas Mori . * . i «* a pistol loaded with powder and shot , with intent to murder him . No counsel had been engaged on the part oftheproseektion , and Mr . Clarkson defended theprisoner . . ' The chargeis described in our Police report of . Tuesday at the Mansion-house . It turned out in crossexamination that the prisoner had had a child shortly before the occurrence , " which tho prosecutor would not own . This , it appeared , had put the unfortunate woman into a state of distraction , during which she had

      committed the act in question . " The pistol was produced in court : it seemed an exceedingly small one , and , as the learned counsel stated in his speech for the defence , it did not appear that any powder had been put into the pistol at all , and that the explosion of the cap alone had been sufficient to cause the discharge . After Mr . _Justice Maule had summed up the evidence , the jury returned a , verdict ofguilty of a common assault only , _rejecting the feloniousintent _; Thesentence ofthe court was ; that she be imprisoned arid kept to hard- labour in the' House of Correction for six calendar months .

      Chabge of Attempt to Mobbeb . —John Bailey , aged 24 , and described as a sailor , was charged with having feloniously attempted to drown Edward Lunt , with intent to murder him . Mr . Doane appeared for the prosecution , The prisoner was undefended . It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutor , that on the morning of the 27 „ li September last he was going through the locks Ot'tke St , Katharine ' s docks in his barge . Ti _ c ; prisoner was in a _Ipgat immediately _a-head i The prosecutor desired him to move on , as he was in his way . This the prisoner in a coarse manner refused to do . and immediately afterwards

      he caught the prosecutor by the collar of his jacket and threw him into the water , He was shortly afterwards picked up ; and it appeared that the prisoner ultimately lent bis assistance in . rescuing the prostcutor from his dangerous situation . He also expressed at the time his regret at what had occurred , and asserted that it was as as much the prosecutor ' s fault as it was his , After Mr . Justice Coleridge had summed up the evidence , the jury returned a verdict of guilty of a very aggravated assault , and tbe prisoner was sentenced to nine months ' imprisonment , in the House of Correction , with hard labour .

      Attempt to Poison . —Bridget Smith , alias Thomas , aged 32 , was indicted for attempting to administer to Patrick Smith oxalic acid , with intent to murder him , Mr . Prendergast conducted the prosecution , and the . pri . soner wa 9 defended by Mr . Doane . The particulars of this case have been recentl y published in onr reports of the Southwark police cases . Mr . Justice Maule said that the indictment could not be held good , for the following reasons : —It appeared that the Christian name of the prosecutor was described as Patrick Henry in the mdictment . He was christened Patrick , but subsequently received the name of Henvy , in 1827 , " at his confirmation . He was a Roman Catholic , and their law and usage was

      *"'¦• Centralt*Criminal Court. " The Oct...

      that henceforward he should take the name by which he was confirmed by the bishop . Thus is only Christian name , in the eye of the" law , ' was Henry , and not Patrick Henry , a ? he was described In the indictment . The oharge , therefore , as at present worded , could not be sustained , A verdict was accordingly taken of not guilty . She was again indicted on a eharge of having administered the oxalic acid to Carellne Smith , the mother of the prosecutor in the previous case , After a short deliberation ,, the jury relumed a verdict of Guilty . She was ordered to be brought up to receive judgment next day .

      Feiday , — Murder , — "William Still , aged 20 , and described as a _glassciitter , was charged with having caused the death of his child in divers ways . Mr . Horry stated the case to the jury , and was proceeding to call witnesses , when he was interrupted by the Lord Chief Baron , who said that the details which the learned counsel had given of the circumstances ofthe case did not at all tend to criminate the prisoner . Iii _Bhort , it appeared that there was no evidence to show that the prisoner was the cause of the child's death . Under the learned judge ' s direction , thejury accordingly returned a verdict of Not Guilty ,

      FoBGEsr . —Richard Collins , aged 16 , who pleaded guilty on Wednesday to a charge of forgery , was brought lip to receive judgment . The Lord Chief Baron , in passing sentence , said that the court was willing to take the most lenient course which the law permitted them to do . The sentence was , that he be imprisoned in the House of Correction for two years and kept to hard labour . . Charge of Rape—j 0 hn Snazett , aged 27 , was indicted for having committed a rape on Catherine Porter , aged 16 . It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutrix , an interesting-looking young girl , that having been sent by her mother for some ale to a publio-house at Sydenham , she met the prisoner there , Upon his inducement , she went out with him , and after proceeding

      a short distance , he took certain liberties with her , upon which she fainted away ; aud , oh coming to herself again , she found the prisoner in the act of raising her from the ground . Upon , going home she informed her father of the manner in which she had been treated . A surgeon was sent for , and she was examined by him the same evening , and he discovered that the offence charged had been committed . Mr . Ballantine addressed the jury for the defence , and urged that there was no evidence whatever to prove that a rape had been , committed , and even admitting that a connection took place at all , it was with the full and entire consent of the prosecutrix . After Mr , Justice Coleridge had summed up the evidence the jury returned a verdict of not guilty .

      Cutting and Maiming . —Charlotte Mackle was placed at the bar ' charged with cutting and wounding John Mackie , with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm . It ' appeare _* " ' from the evidence ofthe prosecutor ( who is the prisoner ' s husband ) that the latter was in a state of drunkenness , and wanted to go out of the house for more drink . The prosecutor remonstrated with her , and upon this she took a knife from the table and stabbed him in tbe jaw , the wound having penetrated the cheek . She was immediately laid hold of by the landlord of the house , situate in Deptford ; and she was subsequently taken into custody . The _prosecutor further stated that he did not believe that the prisoner meant to do him any harm ; and that , when she became aware of the harm she had done him , she accompanied him to the chemist's to see his wound dressed . The Chief Baron having summed up , the jury returned a verdict of a common assault . Sentence was deferred .

      Robbeby . —Richard Hoddnott and Solomon Lyons were indicted for assaulting William Dolby , and stealing from his person a watch and a union pin , his property . It appeared that William Dolby was one of the City police , and was atthe Surrey Theatre on _the-14 th of October . On leaving the theatre a little after twelve o ' clock with a friend , he entered a public house oh the way home , situate between the Surrey Theatre and the Queen's Bench Prison . On entering the public house he saw the two prisoners at the bar with other persons , to the number of 20 . Whilst there , he was struck , on the left cheek by Lyons , without the least provocation on his part . He turned round , and asked whatwasthe reason of the blow , when his friend , named El worthy , attempted to home to his . assistance , but was preventedby the prisoner

      Hoddnott . " He then received a second blow on the temple from lyoijs , and then a third , and immediately after Lyons seatched at a chain to which was suspended a watch , and a stock and pin . also . were .-torn off his neck at' the same- time . . Lyons . then- ran out of the public-house ,- and , on being pursued , he was lost sight of , but . subsequently . taken into custody by the police . Hoddnott was taken custody on the following day . The pin arid stock were afterwards found on the floor of the public house . Thejnry returned a verdict of guilty agains ' t both the prisoners . A former conviction for'felony was proved against tbe prisoner Hoddnott . Thc learned Judge then sentenced the latter to he transported for twenty years , and I > yons for the term of fifteen years .

      day , uct . oi . —Accounts were tnis morning received from Bombay of the 1 st of October , and from _Calcutta of the 20 t _* n of September . The present despatch is one of an exceedingly uninteresting nature , scarcely a particle of information of any material consequence , political , military , or commercial , haying transpired since the departure of the last overland mail . The Scinde , Punjauh , and Cabool news , with the dry details of which the papers are filled , may be summed up in a very few words . The first named place is enjoying tranquillity , which is saying much ; and the troop 3 stationed there are almost wholly free from sickness , which is perhans saying more . The wing of the 18 th Bombay Native infantry , winch was sent up to K . usmore , on the frontier , for the purpose , as it

      was rumoured , or inveigling our , neighbours ot the Five Rivers into a quarrel with us , has returned to Hyderabad , and it is saUVthat this retrograde movement was occasioned by the receipt of imperative orders from the Governor-General , who had disapproved , as he well might , of the impolitic and mischievous expedition . The intelligence from the Punjaub comprises few incidents of moment . The Ranee , or Queen Mother , as she is termed , has patched up the quarrel with Prince Peshora Sing-, and that cniei' has laid down his arms , and proceeded to Lahore on her special invitation . It is said that Ranee offered him a jagheer worth ten thousand pounds , and a valuable appointment as compensation for his submission . By the last accounts he had not reached Lahore , and there were rumours afloat that he had been assassinated on the way . Cholera has disappeared from the city , but still commits serious ravages in Peshawur .

      Chuhch-bate Meriing at Rotston , near Babnsley . — A meeting was held in the vestry of the Parish Church , on the 23 rd of October , for the purpose of _levying-a Church-rate . The vicar opened the proceedings by stating the object fov whieh the meeting was called , and then called upon the Churchwarden , who mumbled over the items in such a manner that not half of the persons present could hear a word that he said . As he finished reading , he moved that a Church-rate be granted for the ensuing vear when a rate-payer in the meeting moved as an

      • amendment , that the consideration _otiayingaunurcn rate be adjourned to that day twelve months . Ihe vicar refused to put the amendment , and immediately left the meeting , when a working man was unanimously called to the chair . The amendment and the original motion were put to the meeting , and only one solitary hand was held for a rate . It was then moved and carried that a copy of the proceedings of the meeting be presented to the vicar , which was accordingly carried to him by . a deputation from the meeting . This is the third year that we have defeated the church party .

      Suicide . —On Monday afternoon Mr . Bedford held an inquest at the Rose and Crown , Park-lane Piccadilly , on the body of Mr . John M'Cabe , aged 56 , a veterinary surgeon , of Park-lane . It appeared from the evidence , that for some years past the deceased had been laid up with a bad leg , wliich lately had got quite well , since which the deceased had been attacked with violent pains in his head , which _attimes rendered him . unconscious of his actions . On the 18 th inst . he swallowed a quantity of croton oil , but

      Melancholy Occurrence . — Two Lives Lost . — On Tuesday forenoon , between ten and eleven o'clock , two men , in the employment of Messrs . Taylor , Walker , and Co ., brewers , limehouse , of tlio names of John Pen-in and William Spicer , were unfortunatelysuffbcated in a vat , the _meianchoi v circumstances connected with which , as they were " detailed to our informant by a person in the establishment , were as follows : —Ferrin who was one of the cellarmen , was about to clean a vat , No . 15 , and for that purpose asked Spicer , who was a drayman , to assist him . Previous to entering the vat , it is the custom to lower a candle , in order to prove whether it is free from the gas which , when the porter is drawn on , usually collects from the grounds . Perrin went

      into the COimtmg . house for a candle , expecting that the otherman would wait till his return , but , instead ol doing so , he put the ladder in vat No . U , the cover oi which had only been removed about nine o clock that morning , when it is supposed that lie immediately fell into the vat , being overpowered by the effect of the foul air . When Perrin returned , he immediately proposed to enter the vat , and bring out the unfortunate man . Against the advice of some-of the men who had collected upon hearing the alarm , he went down the ladder without thc precaution of having a rope tied round his bodv . He in consequence met with a similar fate . An attempt was

      then made to extricate them with grappling irons , but without effect , a large hole was then cut at the bottom of thc vat , when they were dragged out , but without any sign of life . Mr . Bailey , a surgeon of the neighbourhood , who had been in attendance some tune , tried to restore thevital functions . liis efforts , however , were unavailing . The vat in question was about 16 feet deep , and had contained about 500 gallons of pale ale . The other vat had been two or threedays open , Both were steady men , and _W been in the service of . the firm many years . Perrnj was thirty years of age , and a single man ; anil Spicer fifty years , and a widower .
