MAXSIOX-HOUSE . — Pocket Pickisg . — Thomas Lewis and John Jackson , two young men , were charged with having attempted to pick pockets in the accesses to the AVeigh-house Chapel , on Fishgtreet Hill . The appearance of the prisoners attracted some curious atttention , their dress and general make up amply attesting the pains they had taken to create a favourable impreasion upon Mr . Binney ' s serious hearers , They were seen by George Scott , one of the City detective police , in one of the passages of the chapel as the congregation were coining out on Sunday evening . Jackson had two sticks in his hand , while Lewis had both hands disengaged , and was following a lady , evidently for the purpose of robbing her . The officer observed LevrisMifs up the lady ' s shawl with his left hand , and " slip his right hand down , to her pocket . Tire attempt v ? aa uiftueeessful , for the two experimentalists walked into tho street , and
immediately afterwards returned by another door way into the chapel , to which there are three entrances . They then commenced operations in a similar manner upon another female , and were following her out when they were startled by the sight of the officer , and ran across the road . Upon being taken into custody each had his stick in his hand . The Lord Mayor asked if Lewis's hair was parted as nicely when in the chapel as it was then ? —The officer said it was , he had known Lewis from a boy . lie had been for many years connected with a Whitecbapel gang of thieves , and had been often in custody . —Lewis : Never , my Lord . I know nothing at all about this place . Other of ' ficers also identified the prisoners as ingenious and resolute thieves , who had been regularly educated to the trade . —The Lord Mayor : They shall not try any pookets in Mr . Binney's chapel for at any rate two months . Committed to Bridewell for two months to hard labour .

They then left this lady , and proceeded along tho Poultry ; when the two females went into several
hosiers' shops where ladies were purchasing , and returned into the street without making any pu * - chases themselves . After several attempts to pick pockets , which appeared to be unsuccessful , the prisoners were pounced upon , by the officers , and taken into custody . The prisoners , in reply to the charge , said they were merely walking about to seethe various shops , having come from York nearly a fortnight ago to visit the Exhibition . — Haydon said he had found return tickets to York on the prisoners , as well as £ 2 11 s , on John and 12 s . on Jane Elliot . He further stated that they had all given contradictory accounts of their places of abode at York , their mode of getting their livlihood . aawell as of their place of lodging at the time of their apprehension , which he had just learnt
was m the New-out , Lambeth . —The Lord Mayor : I shall discharge Jane Elliot , the evidence against her not appearing sufficient to justify me in sending ber to prison . The other two delinquents I must send to prison for a month as rogues and vagabonds . The 12 $ . found upon Jane Elliot must be given up to her , and the £ 2 lie . found upon the male prisoners will be placed in the hands of the Governor of tue , Gompter , who will deduct the amount of his keep therefrom , giving him the balance at the expiration of his term of imprisonment .

She brought the parcel back with her to Eldon-stree * , where she stood for . some little time , when she was joined by the prisoner , to whom she gave it . I immediately gave him into custody . Tae parcel contains three p . iirs of trowsers , three waistcoats , and a small coat , which I identify as being part of my stock . —Henry Finnis , City Police-constable 033 , stated that he apprehended the prisoner with the prosecutor ' s goods in his possession , and that the former then said he bad an account with Mr . Newman , and that he had paid him Part Of it . The

Witness entered , and ou proceeding to tho upper part of the house the cries increased , and he heard blows in the third-floor apartment . He demanded admittance , but was refused , and he burst
the door open , when he Baw the injured boy , quite naked , jumping about the room , and the prisoner was beating him with a red-hot poker , and the boy waa evidently suffering extreme pain . Witness attempted to take the prisoner into custody , but encountered much resistance , the'prisoner saying that witness bad no right there , and struck him violently . Whilst they were struggling together the prisoner ' s wife returned home and assisted her husband , and together they threw him down stairs . He , however , kept his foot between the door and the sidepost , and held it open whilst he called for assistance , until Sergeant Harris and another officer came and conveyed the prisoner to the station house . Sergeant Harris and witness went back to the houBd and took the prisoner ' s son to St . Pancras Workhouse for medical assistance . The boy had no clothes to put on , and he was taken to the workhouse wrapped up in police clothes . The
witness produced a certificate from the surgeon of the infirmary , to the effect that the boy was suffering from severe contusions and burns on the back , shoulders , legs , and face , and was unable to attend the court . Witness added , that when he questioned the boy he informed him that in the course of Saturday evening his father beat him severely with a leathern strap until his mother interfered to prevent him . She afterwards went out to purchase some butter , when the prisoner locked the door . He then put the poker into the fire until it was red hot , and he then beat him with it while ha was naked . The prisoner , in answer to the charge , said his son had been a bad boy for the last three years , and was in the habit of robbing him and his neighbours . —Mr .

Oswyn Merlin , the proprietor of the yard . I with the two ostlers , resisted them , and they commenced beating us with' the sticks . ' Mr . Clarke did not strike any one , that I am ft ^ are of , but he was the most active of all , and the prime mover of the affair . One of the horses belongs to a Mr . Carey , and another to a Mr . Gains , and were both standing at livery . I warned . Mr . Clarke a few days ago . —Cross-examined by Mr . H . F . Woodi— There ate
no horses entered in the book in the names of Landelle and Bralant . I never had any in their names , there were ten horses brought into the yard on Tuesday last , and entered in the book on the same day . Tbey were not brought in the names of Londelleand Bralant . Six of them were afterwards sent away by Mr . Merlin , and the remaining four were in the yard this morning . Mr .

" He spoke to the conductor , who said he had only been on the omnibus about sis weeks , and that the paper was there before he was engaged . Alderman Wilson believed it was a ruse for the purpose of defrauding the public ; and , as the act of Parliament
made the proprietor liable , as well as the driver and conductor , he had summoned them all accordingly . The proprietor said he had had the fares properly painted , and that he did not believe tB . 6 paper had been on more than three days , but it was done without his own knowledge . —Alderman ; Wil ^ son said , under these circumstances , he would put the conductor into the witness box . The proprietor , however , pleaded Guilty , and WftB fined iQ the full penalty of twenty shillings and costs . Puirid Meal—Mr .

Baker ' s premises at about six o ' clock in the morning , and ordered them to be taken down and put away for the fat boilers . At nine o ' clock he saw them again apparently exposed for sale . The meat was very bad indeed , and appeared as though it had been drowned or smothered , and not killed in the regular way . Witness was informed that the five sheep were not Mr . Baker ' s property , and he then seized them and saw them put back again in the slaughter house . Three had been exposed for sale in tbe public market , He sent for an officer and removed the meat . Mr . Baker refused to let them go ; as he intended to
aell them to the boiler to turn , thorn into money . Witness , however , refused to allow him to do so , and accordingly brought the meat for the magistrate ' s inspection . —Mr . Baker said the sheep were hanging apart from the other meat that was exposed for sale for human food . That part of the shop was used only for meat destined for the boiler , and no other meat was placed near it but thesbeeps ' heads and plucks . The sheep were not his , and he therefore endeavoured to make the most of them for the owners , by selling them to the boiler for for the fat , at sixpence or eightpence per stone . — Alderman Salomons said the carcases-must be condemned . . .

A wherry was immediately put off from the stepson the Surrey side , and , as he was in the act of sinking a second time , he was rescued and brought on shore , and given into custody . When brought before the magistrate the prisoner accounted for his conduct by saying that he was out of situation , and that being in great distress , and not having the means Of nroeui'inir
food or lodging , it drove him to a state of desperation , and that while labouring under great mental suffering he had precipitated himself into the river . —In reply to the magistrate , a policeman said he had made inquiries respecting the prisoner , and ascertained that he had been potman in tho service of a licensed victualler , but was discharged from his situation inconsequence of his idle and dissolute habits . —The magistrate said , in this case hOfihOllld call upon tho prisoner to find two sureties of £ 10 each , and himself in £ 20 , not to repeat the attempt upon his life , and that in default he be committed for three months . —The prisoner said , he must go to gaol , as he had no person who would 6 o bail for him even to the amount of is .

tbe trade had been imposed uponby tbe prisoner . On that warning he sent the cheque to tbe Commercial Bauk of London , and the answer was that the drawer was unknown . —The prisoner ; who declined offering anything , in defence , was remanded for a week . WORSHIP-STREET . —AssAUMiND Robbery . — Three atbletio and determined-looking fellows , named John Gray , alias Barrett , James Brookes , arid Edward Sawford were placed at the bar before Mr . D'Eyncourt , charged with haying assaulted and attempted to steal a gold watch from the person Of Mr . Joseph Bickley , a watchmaker and jeweller , in Galway-street , St . Lukes , —The prosecutor stated that about one o ' clock on Wednesday morning he was returning home from a shooting excursion ,
accompanied by a friend , and , while passing through Hoxton-squnre , Hoxtori , he was seized witu a sudden illness , which obliged him to lean " upon his companion for support , and ' rest his head against the lamp-post . He had scarcely been a moment in that position , when the prisoners , who were walking arm-in-arm , advanced towards them , and purposely pushed against them with such violence as to force them into the road . On demanding what they meant by such conduct ,-they were assailed with the moBt abusive epithets by the prisoners , one of whom pulled off his coat , and , haying challenged Mm . to ight , witness , who felt greatly exasperated , placed himself in a defensive attitude ; but before his assailant , had time to commence the attack , the
prisoner Gray interposed between them , and , in a tone of apparent conciliation , advised them to shake hands and settle the dispute in an amicable manner . Witness assented to the proposal , but at the same moment felt a slight jerk at his watch-chain , and on looking down observed'his watch in the hand of the prisoner Grey , who had adroitly ahstracted it from his waistcoat pocket , but without detaching it from the guard , which was still suspended round hiB neck . Witness succeeded , by a rapid effort , in forcing it from him , and pulling a knife from his pocket , threatened to employ it against them if they subjected him to further molestation ; and in the course of the altercation that ensued a policeman , fortunately made his appearance , and secured the prisoner Gray , who was followed to the station-house by his companions ,
where they were likewise given in charge . —Mr . William Wilson , the prosecutor ' s friend , fully corroborated his evidence , and Caffray , the constable , who received the charge ,. stated that the whole of the prisoners were perfectly sober at . the time , although an awkward attempt to similate intoxication was made by Gray when he reached the station . — Mr . D'Eyncourt considered that therejwas scarcely sufficient evidence to justify him in coming to the conclusion that Brookes and Sawford were cognisant of the felonious intentions of the prisoner Gray , but with regard to the latter , his attempt to rob the prosecutor had been conclusively , established , and he should therefore commit him as a rogue and vagabond to hard labour for three months in the House of Correction . The other two prisoners were ordered to be discharged . ¦ .

appeared before Mr . Yardely , to answer a charge of shooting Henry Long , a . labourer , in the employ of Mr . Mare , shipbuilder , of Blackball , and residing at No . 1 , Garden-strtet , Poplar . The complainant , a young man , appeared in court with his head and face enveloped in hospital bandages , and apparently labouring under great Buffering . A portion of the side of his left cheek was blown away . The facts of the case were theses—On the 4 th of August there waa a regatta or rowing match at Blapkwall , and the prisoner was firing salutes with a fowling-piece on the platform at the back of the King's Arms Tavern , Blackwall-stairs . Tho wager boats were passing , and the pr isoner , who had not been accustomed to the use of firearms , raised
a gun with which he was armed , to hiss boulder , and snapped it twicd The third timelhe pulled the trigger the gun went off suddenly , close to the prosecutor ' s face , and he fell , most severely wounded . The prisoner was very muoh distressed on ascertaining that he had injured Long , and called to some persons near him " for God's sake to help him , " and assisted the bystanders in raising tbe complainant from the gronnd and carrying him to the hospital . Air . Yardley discharged the prisoner , and cautioned him not to use firearms again , unless it was absolutely necessary for him to do so . The prisoner , in the greatest sorrow , promised to do all in his power to compensate Long , and left the court with him .
HAMMERSMITH .-Cdriods Cask . - Richard Pethers was summoned for the maintenance of the illegitimate child , of Ella Macnamara . This case was one of an uncommon and interesting character , not only from the circumstances detailed , but the faot that the defendant is now an inmate of the House of Correction , ou a conviction for bigamy . — The complainant , a good-looking young woman , about twenty-two years of age , was aworn , and said she became acquainted with the defendant in September or October , 1850 , while « he was . in service
at Hammersmith , arid , after a short courtship , she was married to him on the 10 th of December of that year , but during her courtship had had intimacy ; wJth him at her master ' s house . About a monthor . six weeks after the marriage she discovered he had a wife and child living , and she therefore proseouted him for bigamy , and he was sentenced to two years' imprisonment , and on the 11 th ult ., while he was in prison , she was delivered of the child in question . She swore positively that defendant only was the father of the child . She
was now m service , aud was compelled to maintain h child out of her wages . —Sarah Pethers , mother of the defendant , said ane had received letters from her son , in which he expressed a doubt of his being the father of the child , and she , said She did not OellQYO that her S ; c-n , liad bad intimacy with his wife before the marriage . ( That part , of the . witness ' s statement was contradicted by a witness called for the purpose ) . Witness had advised her son not to marry ; and she told the complainant that IlCF Son had been married , but not that hia wife was living . —The conviction having been proved by an officer , Mr . Beadon gave an order for the payment of yone shilling and sixpence per week on the defendant which he thought a sufficient sum considering that defendant had been only a labourer earning low wages when in work ; ' arid he strongly reprobated the conduct of the defendant ' s parents , for not ^™ p « n , g the ; fact of their son ' s first marto the
