The pistol produced was a small one , and had hLm nurcaased bv the prisoner a shor t tune before she _nsed 5 , at the shop of a pawnbroker in _Osford-street . The prosecutor was severely cross-examined by JMr . Pelhawfwho elicited ftom him that he became acquainted with the prisoner some years ago , and had had criminal intercourse with her , the blame of which he threw on her . He admitted that he was a married man . The Lord "Mayor committed the prisoner for trial .
BOW-STREET . Tuesdat . —Ghasoe of Foegem asd _Swindling . —A young man of fashionable appearance , named ltichard Martin , _rras brought before Mr . Twyford for _reexamination , charged with forging and uttering a check for £ 12 12 s ., with intent to defraud Mr . James Taylor , a hosier , carrying on business at 13 , CornhiU _, and also with swindling several tradesmen of their goods . The parti-• ulars _' of this charge were published in the Star of Saturday last . Additional charges were now brought against thc prisoner . A fcoormaher carrying on business in Oxford-street , said 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 _chaisihers in the Albany , and bring some French polish with bim , which was accordingly done ; but on mak . ing his appearance he told the messenger he should wait , as his servant was thca out of the way . The messenger
waited outside such a length of time tliat the porter _injuired what his business night be , and on relating the mature ot' his business , he told him that he was " done , " ¦ nd that th * prisoner had a facility of getting away \ y a private passage , and which subsequently turned Hit t » hc the case . Jir . Tnyford observed , as other Charges might ue brought forward , hc would have the prisoner remanded for a week . The constable said that there were abon : twenty tradesmen in attendance , who were prepared lo prorc 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 home goods to the prisoner's chambers , in Chelsea , for which thev never received the amount , and upon making enquiry for Mr . Pembroke , their customer , they discovered that he hail lied . It was stated thatthe prisoner had been in the service of Lord Saye and Sele , when he occupied chambers ia the Albany . Hc was ordered to be remanded .
WOaSHIP-STREET . _iloxinT . —Singci . ah _Application . —The Convict ' s Welcome Home . —A sun-burnt , weather-beaten man , about tliirty years of age , applied to Mr . Broughton for his advice and assistance under thc following circumstances : —The applicant said , that in the early part ofthe year 1835 he had the misfortune to be convicted at the Old Bailey ou 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 his apprehension was in possession of an eight-roomed house weU stocked with furniture , which he left in charge ofhis wife until sueh 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 , hc 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 the rest of his days in respectability and _' eomfort . On reaching this country , 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 ner from ihe marriage contract , and was resolved that she would have nothing more to say to him . Having failed in all Ms efforts to work upon her feelings , he requested that she would at least restore him the goods he had left in her care , and the greater part of which he recognised in the room , but she positively refused to do so ; and her paramour at the same time stepped forward , and after claiming every thing there as his own property
ordered him instantly out of the house . The applicant concluded by saying that he had entirely depended upon the recovery of the property to restore him to something like a decent position in society ; and having heen de- ' fraadedin such a cruel and unjust manner , he wished to know whether the magistrate could afford hhn auy 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 _conTiction had become forfeit to the Crown , hut as the sequestration did not appear to hare been enforced , and his future prospects of an honest existence depended upon the recovery of the property , he would direct one of the officers to see his wife upon the _subject , aud endeavour to effect an amicable arrangement . Sergeant Brannan afterwards repaired with the _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 every claim upon her property , and never again come near her , to which the husband reluctantly acceded .
Weosesbat . —Cbabge of _Feloxt . —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 , tha property of Mr . James Vann Sommer _, of Stamford-hill , the secretary of the Stock Exchange . Several pawnbrokers were now in attendance , who produced a considerable _oaantity of thc stolen property ,, which was identified _oy the prosecutor ' s servants and the greater part ef which had been pledged by the prisoner . The depositions were then taken , and the prisoner ( who re- j served his -defence ) was committed for trial .
LAMBETH . _iHUBSDiT . —Extensive _Sistem of Piundee . —Mary and Caroline Cumming , sisters , and Ann Renckman , a relation , who have been in custody for some days charged witi being concerned in plundering JMr . Shaw , solicitor , residing at _Xo . ll , Terrace , Walworth-road , of property consisting of plate , jewellery , and other property , to the amount of nearly £ 700 , were again brought before Mr . Norton for further examination . The particulars of the case , as adduced in evidence , disclosed a system of most barefaced aad _wrectless plunder . The property produced , consisting oi massive aud costly articles of plate , splendid diamond brooches , gold and silver watches , & c , from the shop of Mr Turner , pawnbroker , inthe _Walworth-road , completely covered a large table which is placed in the centre of the court for the accommodation of professional gentlemen . Audit was considered extraordinary hy every _oisinterestt
-u person present , that property of such immense value should have been taken in pledge from persons of the _pri-wners' description . From the evidence it _appeared that theprisoner Mary Cumming had formerly been in tiie service of Mr . Shaw , and had been succeeded inter _situation by her sister Caroline . About eighteen months ago the prisoner Mary commenced pawning articles of plate at the shop of Mr . Turner , and she then represented the property as belonging to Mr . Back , who ihe said was her ancle , and who lived at No . 11 , in the Terrace . Such was the frequency of these pawnings that every article of plate , JewcUery , and wearing apparel belonging to Mr . Shaw , must have frequently passed through the hands of Mr . Turner ' s shopman . A chest of valuable plate , belonging to Miss Calcraft , and which was in the care of Mr . Shaw , had been plundered of its contents , all
of which had been pawned with Mr . Turner , redeemed , and pawned a second time . Some idea may be formed of the extent io which these pawnings were carried on , from the fact that during the last month articles which had been in pawn for £ 114 had been taken out , while others to the amount of £ 123 were pledged . As much as £ 25 in one daywas received upon different articles , andapairof silver _candlesficSs were repeatedly pawed in the morning and taken out again in the afternoon to be used at night , so that the sum received by the pawnbroker for interest must hare been enormous . The tickets of a portion of the properry , which were given up by the prisoners , exhibited upon the face of them the greatest possible carelessness on the partof Mr . Turner ' s assistants , for not one of them bore the address , which it was admitted had been given by the prisoners when pawning . The prisoners were again remanded .
THAMES . Mosdat . _—ExraAOZDnrAST Chabqe of Robbibt AMD CiiH Co . v . —Mr . Robert Augustus _Barnett- , surgeon , was brought before Mr . Ballantine , charged with felony . — Mr . Pelham appearedfor the _prosecution , and Mr . Ballantim , Jan ., the barrister , and Mr . Fearoley _, a solicitor , for the defence . —The case excited great interest .

nessei at anymte . Mr . Newman , who _appeared much S ff then sWorn , and he stated that he occupied two _roouis at the house , No . 25 , Bower-street _,, where his wife was eohfined , and he gave one of them up to a female _serrant , and hired lodgings at the Angel . After his wife had been conHneda month she complained of the weak state of her health , and expressed a wish to go into the country and visit hei * 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 , that she h 3 d not visited her father at all . Ongoing home he found the place stripped of all the furniture , and ascertained fhat theprisoner had eloped with his wife . He subsequently traced his furniture to Shepperton 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 , Kotherhithe . —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 the prisoner had pawned a bolster and blanket belonging to him . —Charlotte Laddins , a young woman , said she waB 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 appearcd anxious to screen thc 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 . Ballantine , jun .: Thc 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 tlio prisoner must be discharged . If thc prosecutor could obtain any further evidence , hc might go before thc grand jury and indict the fellow . —Mr . Pelham : My client has lost the whole of his property . —Thc Magistrate : Thatis the greatest loss —much greater than the loss of sueh a woman as his 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 _.
Tuesdat . —Chakge of Attempting to Shoot . —John Palmer Smith , solicitor , a person of gentlemanly appearance and good address , who was extremely agitated whilst in thc dock , was brought up in custody of police constable 400 K , charged with attempting to shoot Mr . William Evans , umbrella manufacturer , Cripplegate-buildings , City . It appeared that an old gentleman named Smith , uncle to the prisoner , and residing at Maunders-place , Stepney , died a short tune since somewhat suddenly , and , amongst others , left some property to the prisoner , who for the most part resided with lum . The complainant was one of the executors to the will 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 tbe distribution of the property , the prisoner suddenly drew a pistol from
his breast pocket , and 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 the 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 hc 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 of the premises , and the sound of the explosion satisfied him that it was 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 . —Mr . Ballantine ordered the prisoner to find sureties to keep the peace , himself in £ 200 , and two sureties in £ 100 each . The prisoner was then locked np , and after some conversation with the prosecutor and tiie witnesses , who exhibited great anxiety on bis account , h appeared to calm down considerably .
SOUTHWARK . Wednesday . —Juvenile _Depbavitt _, —Mary Benson , a girl only 13 years of age , was yesterday brought before Mr . Traill , charged with robbing her father on sereral 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 of tbe most viciouspropensities ; that when only 12 years of age shehad abscondedfrom home and associated with a number of girls about her own age , nith whom she was in the hahit offrequenting the streets ; that a short 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 aU 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 had 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 the premises . The prisoner finding herself at liberty , once more joined her former vicious companions , and had recourse toa lifeof infamy in tha streets . She was again rescued from such a career of destruction and taken home , and for the purpoBc of preventing her
from leaving her father ' s roof her clothes were locked up , butshe broke open the box , and before quitting took the last shilUng 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 chUd , and that if she ivas again admitted iuto an _asjlum she would contrive by some means or another to get out again . The prisoner stood quite unmoved at the recital of her vicious course of life , aud _**/ heu 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 . Theprisoner was committed for trial .
WANDSWORTH . - Wednesday . — Chaboe « f Assault asd Fusions Dbiving . —Mr . John Thomas Taylor , described in the charge-sheet as an engineer , living at East Sheen , but who is manager of a portion ofthe works of the Richmond Railway , was placed in the dock , before Mr . Paynter , charged with being drunk , assaulting the police , and with violent conduct in the station-house . Police constable , W . Tompkins , 119 Y , stated that on the previous evening , about sbc o ' clock , he was on duty in the _Clapham-road , when , in consequence of some information he received , he went up the road as far as St . John ' s Church , when he saw two vehicles , one a four-wheel chaise and the other a gig . The prisoner and a great number of persons were standing round the vehicles , which were both much injured . The prisoner owned the chaise , and another
person , who had been thrown out and greatly injured , claimed the gig . The prisoner was drunk , and witness having received information that he was the person who had caused the accident , he took him into custody , and he had uo sooner done so than the prisoner struck him a violent blow on the mouth . He made great resistance whilst being takes to tbe station-house , and kicked and plunged tho entire distance . On the way to the stationhouse , another party attempted to rescue tha prisoner , and would have succeeded in doing so , had not a constable of the P division come to witness ' s assistance , and taken him _inti custody . It took witness and other con . stables au hour to convey the prisoner the distance of three-quarters of a mile , and when in the station-house his conduct was equally violent . Mr . Paynter : Is there any one her * to speak to that act ! Sergeant Emmerson
said there would be a charge of furious driving against the prisoner and his companion , but the party who would prefer the charge was too much injured to attend that day . The person alluded to was Mr . Baker , the landlord of tbe George , Bast Harding-street , Fleet-street . The prisoner said , with respect to the collision , it was purely an accident ; they were on . the right side ofthe road , and he was not driving . He admitted having struck the policeman , and being violent in the stationhouse , which was owing to his being intoxicated . Mr . Paynter : I am very strongly inclined , to send you for a month ; but as you are concerned in a far graver charge , we shall want you . I shall fine you £ 5 for tins assault on the police , aud 40 s . for riotous conduct in the station-house ; and if those fines are not paid you will he imprisoned two months . The prisoner was then put back .
John Elkington , described as an agent , living at MorU lake , but who is the sou of the sub-contractor for that part of the Richmond Railway extending from Putney to Richmond , was next placed in the dock , charged with obstructing the police in their duty , and attempting to rescue the last mentioned prisoner , * Police constable Tompkins proved that whilst conveying Mr . Taylor to the station-house theprisoner caught hold of his arm and said , " Don't you go . " He continued to excite the prisoner Taylor to get away , until hewas himself taken by a constable of the F division . The prisoner was the driver of the chaise . Mr . Paynter then told the prisoner he should have sent him for a month along with his companion , if it had not been for a more serious charge they had to answer . The prisoner would pay £ 4 , or be committed for a { month . The fines were paid and the prisoners discharged .

" * . . _*** ¦ _. . ' • CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT . The October sessions at this court commenced on Monday before the Lord Mayor , the Recorder , Alderman Hunter , Alderman Moon , ths sheriffs , under-sheriffs , lie . Hobsb . _stealiko . —Henry Bradley was chUrged upon two indictments , first for stealing a gelding of the value of £ 12 , the property of StepherifStreoher , and secondly for stealing two saddles , value £ 1 , the property of J . Saville . The prisoner pleaded not guilty . Mr . Strecher stated that he is a butcher , and lives at Barking side of Epping Forest , and onthe 9 th of September his horse was safe in the forest , near Chigwell , but it was missed shortly afterwards . In _consequent of information , he came to town , and went to the clerk of _Smithfield-market , who * referred him to the Greyhound Inn , and there he found his horse , which he understood had been sold by the prisoner , for £ 4 , The prisoner resided in the 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 mighthavepurchasodit , _ashesaidheha _3 . —• Verdict , not guilty . The prisoner was theu charged with stealing two saddles . Mr . Huddlestono examined the witnesses in this case , hy ( whom it was shown that the stolen articles were found in a chaise ou the prisoner ' s premises . Mr . Anderson , the governor of llford 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 « f stealing the saddle and harness . " Mr . Doane again addressed thejury , in the confident expectation of another favourable verdict . The learned judge summed up , who remarked on the property being found on the premises , and the subsequent acknowledgment of the prisoner . The jury pronounced him guilty on this charge , and The court sentenced him to hard labour iu thc goal of llford for six calendar months .
Tuesday . — Chaege of Robbebt . — A Heartless Pbiest . —Anne Croft , a respectable-looking young woman , was placed at the bar , charged with having stolen various articles of sheeting , & c „ the property of the Rev , JF . Reeves , her master . l rom the evidence of the reverend prosecutor , it appeared that in August last his family left their homefin Mortlakc to proceed to Brighton . The prisoner proceeded thorc the day previous . Oh 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 Mprtlake , ' where he discovered that the prisoner , before going to Brighton , had left a box iu thc custody of Neeve ' 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 theprisoner , who was then living at the Lord Nelson public-house , having left the prosecutor ' s service some time previously . When thc box was opened the prosecutor found several articles of sheeting , & c _, which he identified as his pro . pcrty . The prisoner asserted that she had bought thc articles in Shoreditch , and that her mother could prove it . Immediately after this she was given iuto custody . It also appeared that there was another box which the prisoner had locked up iu the prosecutor ' s store-room at home , which , on being 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 and severe cross-examination by Mr . Clarkson . The sheets and napkins alleged
to have been 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 thc napkins were eren in a more dilapidated condition . The rev . gentleman was able to put his band _through 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 picking them off the gutter . —Mr ; Clarkson addressed the jury for the defence . He commented iu severe terms on 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 the bar had made away with the miserable refuse in question , would it not have been more in the Christian spirit of the religion of which the rev , gentleman ivas a professor and a minister , rather to tell her to go and sin no more , than thus make her the unfortunate subject of his persecution , and alleging for his excuse , that he did so from a duty he owed fo 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 contradicted r her husband in several important particulars , while he . had also contradicted her evidence . So mush for the veracity of each , and the amount of trust to he placed in their testimony . The
rev . prosecutor , with his invanablo spirit of chanty , 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 wore always in the habit of supposing were their perquisites , after they had been worn to tatters in the service ofthe house . Hc implored the jury to show their _abherreuce of all malice and persecution by acquitting the unfortunate girl who had been made the subject of the present prosecution . During the speech of the learned counsel , the poor girl was in a wretched eondition—weeping most bitterlyand going from one hystoric fit to another ., Her appearance seemed to create a great feeling of commiseration
and sympathy throughout the court . Several witnesses gave tho 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 verdict—extraordinary from 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 . Thc learned Judge , in passing sentence , adverted to tho
recommendation _of-mercy returned by the jury , in which recommendstion he understood the reverend prosecutor concurred . Mr . Clarkson , 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 _hot'hir sent to be contaminated by the society of hardened " felons in another prison . The utmost punishment which the eourtfelt it necessary to inflict upon her wks 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 thc court , which was more than usually crowded .
_Wednkbdat . —The Mehbie of the Socieit for iue Suppression of Vice and his Ladyjs-love . —Rebecca Coleman , a well dressed and good-looking nymph of tho Strand pave , was indicted for stealing , on the 9 th instant , a watch and gold appendages , of the value of 29 guineas , two sovereigns and ahalf sovereign , the property of Alfred Gadsby , from his person . Mr . 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 liquor , accompanied her to a houso of ill-fame , where , after staying some time , he missed his property , which was afterwards found onthe prisoner . The prosecutor , who stated thathe went with the girl for the purpose of reforming her ( A laugh ) , underwent a severe cross-examination at the hands of Mr . Payne . Mr . Payne was interrupted in his address for the defence by the jury , who pronounced a verdict of acquittal .
Thursday . —Attempting to Snoot . —Ann For was indicted for feloniously shooting at Thomas Morris , with a pistol loaded with powder and shot , with intent to murder him . No counsel had been engaged on the part ofthe proseoution , and Mr . Clarkson defended the prisoner . The charge is described in our Police report of Tuesday at the Mansion-house . It turned out in , irossexaminationthat the prisoner had had a child shortly before the occurrence , which the 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 on _» , 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 , thejury returned a verdict of guilty ofa common assault only , rejecting the felonious intent . _Thesentence ofthe court was , that she be imprisoned and kept to hard labour in the House of Correction for six calendar months .
Chakge of Attempt to _Mubdeb . —John Bailey , aged 24 , and described as a sailor , was charged with having feloniously attemp ted to drown Edward hunt , with intent to murder him . . Mr . Doane appeared for the prosecution . The prisoner was undefendod . It appeared from the evidence of tho prosecutor , that en the morning of the 27 th September last he was going through the locks of the St . Katharine's docks in his barge . The prisoner was in a boat immediately a-head . The prosecutor desired him to move on , as he was in his . way . This the prisoner in a coarse manner refused to do , and _immeiiately 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 his 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 , thejury _returned a verdict of _guUty of a . very aggravated assault , and the prisonei * was _isntsnced 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 proiecution , and the prisoner was defended by Mr . Doane . The particulars of this case hare been recently 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 thatthe Christian name of the prosecutor was described as Patrick Henry in the indictment . He was christened Patrick , but subsequently received the name of Henry , in 182 T , at his confirmation . He was a Roman Catholic , and their law and usage was
Vehibilo'jotbsi In Leeds. —Mr. Macmillan...
that henceforward ha should take the name by which ho was confirmed by the bishop . - , Thiis is' only Christian name , in the eye . of the law , was-Henry , and not ft **™* Henry , ai he was described in the indictment . The charge , therefore , as at present worded , could not be sus . tained . A verdict was accordingly taken of not _guilty . She was again indicted on a eharge of having administered the oxalic acid to Caroline Smith , the mother of the prosecutor in the previous case . After a short dehberation , the jury returned a verdict of Guilty . She was ordered to be brought up to receive judgment next day .
Pbidat . —Mubdbb . — William Still , aged 20 , and described as a glasscutter , 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 hot at all tend to criminate the prisouer . In short , 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 .
Foeceev . —Richard Collins , aged 16 , who pleaded guilty on Wednesday to a charge of forgery , was brought up 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 Bape—John Suazett , 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 publia-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 , upou wliich she fainted away ; aud , oa comihg to herself again , she found the prisoner in tho act of raising her from tho ground . Upon going home she informed her father of the manner iu which she had been treated , A surgeon was sent for , aud 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 , aud 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 verdiot ; of not guilty .
Cutting a ' nb Maimino . —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-l from the evidence of the 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 tliis she took a knife from the table and stabbed him in the 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 theharm she had done him , she accompanied him to the chemist ' s to see his wound dressed . The Chief Baron having summed up , thejury returned a verdict of a common assault , / Sentence was deferred .
Robbebt . —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 at the Surrey Theatre on the Hth of October . On leaving the theatre a little aftir twelve o ' clock with a friend , he entered a public house ou 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 . Whljst there , he was struck on the left cheek by Lyons , without the least provocation oa his part . He turned round , and asked what wa _» the reason ofthe blow , when his friend , named Elworthy , attempted to home to his assistance , but was prevented by the prisoner
Hoddnott . He then received a second blow on the temple from Lyons , 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 , arid , on being purgued _, _* -he was lost sight of , but . subsequently taken into custody by the police . Hoddnott was taken custody on the following day . The pin and stock were afterwards found onthe floor of the' public house . The jnry returned a verdict of guilty against both the prisoners . A former conviction for felony was proved against the prisoner Hoddnott . The learned Judge then sentenced the latter to be transported for twenty years , and Lyons for the term of fifteen years .

Arrival Of The Overland Mail.—London, Fr...
Arrival of the Overland Mail . —London , Friday , Oct . 31 . —Accounts wero this mornihg received from Bombay of the 1 st of October , and from Calcutta of the 20 th of Septomber . The present despatch is one of an exceedingly uninteresting nature , scarcely a particle of information of any material consequence , political , military , or commercial , having transpired since the departure ofthe last overland mail . The Scinde , Punjaub , and Caboolnews , with thc dry details of which the papers are filled , may b « summed up in a _^ very few words . The first named place is enjoying tranquillity , which is saying much ; and the troops stationed there are almost wholly free from sickness , whieh is perhaps saying more . The wing of the 18 th Bombay Native irifantrj _' , which waa sent up to Kusmore . on the frontier , for the p urpose , as it
was rumoured , of inveigling our neighbours of the Five Rivers into a quarrel with us , has returned to Hyderabad , and it is said that 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 i 3 termed , has patched up the quarrel with Prince Peshora Sing , and that chief has laid down his arms , and proceeded to Lahore on her special invitation . It is said that Ranee offered hira a jagheer worth ten thousand pounds , arid , a valuable appointment as compensation for hia subniission . 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 .
Church-Rate Meeting At Royston, Near Bar...
Church-rate Meeting at Royston , near _Barns-Mir . —A . meeting was held in the veBtry of the Parish Church , on the 23 rd of October , for the purpose of levying a Church-rate . The vicar _openedthe proceedings by stating thc object for which the meeting was called , and then called upon the Churchwarden , who mumbled over the items in suoh 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-nayer in the meeting moved as an
amendment , thatthe consideration oflaymgaChurchrate be adjourned to that day twelve _montha . The 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 ana carried that a copy of the proceedings of the meeting be presented to the Yicar , which was accordingly carried to him by a deputation from the meeting . This ia the third year that we have defeated the church party .

Wittack _, Esq . ) , bythe breaking ofthe rope , as they were returning from their work , waa held in this village to-day , before W . J . Ellis . Esq ., one of the coroners for the county of Gloucester . The evidence as to the particulars of the accident did not differ in the least from the
account given in another part of this paper . The jury , after a consultation lasting two hours , returned the following verdict : —Accidental death , with a deodand of £ 100 on the rape , accompanied with the following : —" That the jury cannot refrain from expressing their opinion that there has been very great neglect on the part of the proprietor of the pit , Samuel _VYhittack , Esq ., and the bailiff , Charles Stone , for not having provided a sufficient rope for the safety of the men in ascending and descending the said pit ,
_Suicidb . —On Monday afternoon Mr . Bedford held an inquest at tho 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 , which lately had got quite well , since which the deceased had been attacked with violent pains in hiB head , which at times rendered him unconscious of his actions . On the 18 th inst . he swallowed a quantity of croton oil . but
by the timely aid ot medical assistance he recovered from its effects , but was left in a very debilitated state ; for the last few days he had been very low and dejected , and about _fiye o ' clock on that ( Wednesday ) morning he was missing from his bed , and on s earch being made for him , he was discovered in the cellar , suspended by a neck-scarf fastened to a beam .

men , was about to clean a vat , No . 15 , and for that purpose asked Spieer , who was a drayman , fo 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 oft , usually collects from the grounds .- Perrin went mto the counting-house for a candle , expecting that the other man would wait till hia return , W , instead ol doing bo , he put the ladder in vat No . 14 , the cover of which had only been removed about nine oclock that morning , when it is supposed thathe immediately fell into the vat , being overpowered by the effect ot the foul air . When Perrin returned , he immediately proposed to enter the vat , and bring out the unfortunate man . Against the advice of some ofthe men who had collected upon hearine the
alarm , he went down the ladder without the precaution of having a rope tied round his body . He in consequence met with a similar fate . An attempt waa then made to extricate them with grappling irons , but without effect , a large hole was then cut at tha bottom of the vat , when they were dragged out , but without any Biga of life . Mr . Bailey , a surgeon of the neighbourhood , who had been in attendance soma time , tried to restore the vital functions . His effort * , nowever , were unavailing . The vat in question waa about 16 feet deep , and had contained about 500 gallons of pale ale . The other vat had been two or three days open , Both wero steady men , and had been in the service of the firm many years . Pen-in waa thirty years of age , and a single man ; and Spieer fifty years , and a widower .
