Witness usually sent the prisoner to cash these cheques , which were sometimes for £ 50 or £ 100 . The bills he contracted , were , after being paid and receipted ,. deli , vered into the office of the clerk of the board , andchecked off against the money he had received .

He

      knew nothing of the prisoner previously . Mr Paynter said the lad ' s countenance did not look like a thief ' s , what did he do for a living ? The boy , who was in his shirt sleevas , and had evidently very recently left off work , said he was employed at Mr Bell ' s match . manufactory , in Garretlane , where his father was employed . He admitted having taken the pears , and was very sorry , but the other boy was quite as old as he . Mr Paynter asked the prisoner what he earned a week , and he replied 10 s . The largenesB of the sum , compared with the youth of the workman , appeared to create some suspicion in the magistrate Mr Paynter observed that the prisoner was liable to an imprisonment of six months ; but as this was his first offence , he should fine him 10 s . and the value of the pears , and in default commit him to Kingston gaol fer fourteen days . The prisoner was removed in custody . - ;

      W 0 RBH 1 P-STREET . —Ihfamobs Conduct of thi Poircr . —Patrick Hurley , a labouring man , was placed before Mr Hammlll , charged with having resisted and assaulted police-constable Jessop , H 215 , in the execution of his duty . The polieeman stated , that while on duty in Thrall-street , Spitalfields , between eight and nine o ' clock on the preceding evening he saw a number of young men standing beneath a lamp-poBt gambling with halfpence , and observing a boy In the act of climb . Ing up the post , ' with the apparent intention of putting out the light , he pulled him down and gave him a slight push , which caused Mm to fall . An immediate outcry was raised that he bad kicked and killed the boy , which brought out the mother of the lad from an adjoining house , who commenced abuiing him for ill-using her

      child , and called out the prisoner , who advanced towards him with a pair of tongs , with which he struck him several blows , and retreated back into the house , the door of which he secured . While endeavouring to effect an entrance he waB assailed with a shower of brickbats and missiles from a mob of at least 150 persons nhohod colleoted , and was compelled to use his truncheon in self-defence , - un » H another officer came up , whe » the prisoner voluntarily placed himself in the charge of the latter , and was conveyed to the stationhouse . In cross-examination the policeman admitled having struck the wife of the prisoner upon the head with the truncheon , when her husband entered the house , causing a wound which bled profusely , but de . dared that she had attacked him first , and that his hands

      bore the marks ef her nails . Mr Tann , who appeared for the defence , said he was not only instructed to give a total denial to the charge , but thathe had numerous wltnessss in attendance , who would prove that the policeman had acted with such a degree of wanton and brutal violence as manifested him to bs a person wholly unfit to discharge the duties of his situation . —Charles Brackley . a cabinet-maker , was then called , and stated that at the time in question he saw the prisoner ' s son , a boy of eight years of age , playing with schoolfellows neat . hli father's . doer ,, when the policeman came up , seized him by the collar , and , having repeatedly slapped his face , kicked him violently , and knocked him down in the road . On hearing the cries of her son , the prisoner ' s wife came out , and asked the constable

      what he meant by such conduct , when he instantly struck her in the face , and on her husband interfering for h « r proteetien , he was also assaulted in a similar man * Her . The prisoner instantly retreated into his house , and his wife was in the act of following him , when the constable struck her such a violent blow upon the head with his truncheon that the bleod streamed from the wound , and she fell back into the arms of a bystander , who conveyed her to the house of the nearest surgeon , where her wounds were dressed . On observing the treatment bis wife had sustained , the prisoner immediately sent for the policeman to protect him from the complainant ' s violence , but before the arrival of tba latter the complainant commenced dealing indiscriminate blows with j his truncheon upon the persons surrounding him , amongst whom the witness received a severe bruise , and afterwards burst open the prisoner ' s door with such violence that the hinges were forced off . The constable whom the prisoner had sent for having by

      that time come , the prisoner immediately placed himself under his charge , and proceeded quietly to the stationhouse . Two respectable married women , named Bewley and Sedgwick , confirmed the evidence of the last witness in every particular . —Mr Hammill , however , said thathe had heard sufficient to satisfy him that the policeman had grossly exceeded his duty in assaulting a child of such tender age in the manner it was proved that he had done , and that the prisoner had only acted with the natural feelings of a father in interfering for its proteo . tion . With regard to hit subsequent violence toward * the child ' s mother , he was unable at present te enter upon it , but should at once order the prisoner himself to be discharged , and direct an Immediate representation of the facts to be forwarded to the proper authoiities , who would no doubt cause a searching investigation to be instituted into the . conduct of the constable . —Inspector Ellis intimated that a report ef the ease , together with the magistrate ' s observations , would be immediately laid before the Police Commissioners .

      LAMBETH . —Geergo Green , a well-dreBsed young man , was placed at the bar , before Mr Elliott , on the following charge : —Mm Sarah Groom , a lady , residing at No . 1 G 5 , Southwark-bridge-road , deposed that , about ten o ' clock on the night before , while passing along the Bridge . road , Lambeth , in company with her trro daughters , she noticed the prisoner standing in front of one of the public-houses , in company with a female . In passing them , the female , without the slightest provocation , put her foot out , and attempted to trip up'one ef her daughters . Witness asked her what she had done it for , and the prisoner struck one of her daughters a violent blow on the mouth , and attempted to snatch a gold chain from the other . She followed him through several streets , calling eut police , and a constable- coming

      up , she gave him into custody . In her cross . axamlnation by Mr Games , who appeared on behalf of the prisoner , Mrs Groom admitted that the psliceman , 159 L , had hesitated before taking the prisoner into custody , and that it was not uitil two other censtibles came up that he received her charge . She swore positively that she told the policeman about the attempted robbery up » n her daughter when he first came up , and had mentioned it also at the station-house when the prisoner had been taken there . The two daughters of Mrs Groam , and two other wilnsssei , corroborated her statement . The constable , 159 L , denied that Mrs Groom had mentioned anything about the prisoner having attempted to snatch away the chain , when she first wished him to

      take him into custod y , and that all she complained of was , that of being abused herself , and her daughter being assaulted . A disinterested witness swore , as positively that he had heard Mrs Groom tell the witneis about the attempted robbery ; and sergeant Goff deposed to the prisoner being the associate of notorious thieves , that he had himself turned him eut of Vauxhall Gardens for bsing a suspected character , and that he had been before in custody on charges of felony . Mr Games addrested the bench- at some length , and pointed out some discrepancy between Mrs Groom , and her daughtm . Mr Elliott said he was perfectly satisfied of the prisoner ' s intention to commit a fclony , and sentenced him to three months' imprisonment and hard labour .

      SNAPPING OP THE ROPE , Iff THE SHAFTS I COAL PITS . Ul TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Sib , —In your notice to correspondents of the Star ,. the 11 th of September , I read a letter wherein your co , respondent asks ' whether you or any of your corr ^ pondents hare discovered a plan , or invented a machi » , whereby the lives of miners may be saved in cases whi ,, the rope- breaks , when ascending or deacendiag n , shaft !' If the question has not been answered I beg to p , pose what hai often appeared desirable , when I ha » read of persoBs being drowned in the locks of our sever-. canals , I would advise that the locks in questirj should have a lining- of ironwork , resembliog the tilk of a net ( the trammel-net , I think , is the kind £ tended , but most fishermen well-know the kind I meig and then the persons getting into the water mi ght cU ) ' . hold of the said lining or lattice-work , and bo clitnb v terra firma , making even boy ' s play of it

      Equally so might the miners , upon the snapping . the rope , easily take bold of the network in auygtiJ of their passage , whether upwards or downwards , and s climb or pa 9 s to their destination , whether one waj ^ the other . ; Cast iron is not an expensive article , but whett ^ wrought iron be not most proper for such a purposa i , mains to be considered by the parties carrying thepk into operation . The desirability of giving the net-n ^ a good coating of paint will also occur to the mindit the said parties . I may add that this contemplated iron work shool ; also be laid round the entrance of the shaft , a snffici distance , to afford the otherwise unfortunate parties & opportunity of effecting a safe landing . I remain , sir , Yours , in the bonds of philanthropy , Jobn Batut , Letiee ii .

      Sib , —Sinoe my letter of the 29 th ult . I have reflect ! that the circular ladder' or lining of the shaft being , iron might be attended with ill-convenience on accotr , of its weight , therefore , 1 have supposed that its belt of hempen fabrication , similar to the ladders used o ship board might answer the purpose . The upri gt lines , of course , must bestronger than the esrdags « roping of which the staves might consist , which may t of the usual distance from each other , similar to tl ladders in general use , from which provision I canm but conclude that no miner , exercising ordinary cautioneed fall a sacrifice upon the emergencies in questfe I have not an exact copy of the above-mentioned k ter by me , therefore , I am not aware whether I his mentioned the distance which the said ladder ought ; be placed from the sides of the shaft . I may be permitw therefore , to remark , that four or five inches may affo : sufficient security for the free exercise of the hand .

      There next remains to be considered the time whfc a ladder of such material may be supposed to endurs \ as to be safely relied on ; after which , to be replaced another . Yours , in the bonds of philanthropy , JohnBatlei , Wybanbury , Cheshire , Oct . 4 th .
