When yesterday's paper went to press the sentence in the above ease (which appeared in a second edition of the Express of last evening) had not been passed. At a later period of the day the defendants were brought up for judgment. Mr. Justice Coleridge addressed them in the following t er ms :—George Sloane and Theresa Sloane, you have pleaded guilty to several counts of an indictment which charged you with having, in various ways, and upon var i o us occasions, assaul ted and ill-treated • girl, name Jane Wilbred, who was a servant in your em ploy. We have read with great care the deposi tions that were taken in your presence, before the magistrate, and we did not think it advisable to grant the application made by_ your counsel that you should be permitted to put in affidavits in answer to them and in mitigation, partly from the circumstance mentioned by him, namely, your poverty, and a desire therefore to avoid putting you to an unnecessary expense, and partly because there are certain facts and certain statements in those depositions which seem to speak for themselves and to defy contradiction. It seems that this young person—almost, a child—an orphan, with no natural protector, came into your service, and it would seem that she was *elected partly from the circumstance of her being an orphan, and having apparently a better constitution than some of the other girls, and therefore more likely to do you good service in the capacity in which you engaged her. For come time it appears that there was no reason for complaint on her part, but at length your course of treatment towards her appear* to have entirely changed. Taking into consi deration, however, the age of the girl and her opportunities of obtaining redress, the court does not consider that you are legally responsible upon that portion of the indictment, and your punishment will not be increased on account of it, hut, at the same time, there is very little doubt that your conduct towards this poor girl has been most cruel in withholding from her proper Christian food. I say this because you know that the indictment not only charges you with with , holding proper food, but also with forcing upon her matter at which nature revolts, and which I will nut offend the ears of the court by further alluding to, it will be sedli cient to say that you are charged with having forced upon her that which was nauseous, unwholesome, disgusting, and unnatural. One would have thought that the situation of that poor girl when she came into your service would have demanded especial protection at your hands, and that while she conducted herself well you would have assumed the position of her natural guardians. It is impos sible wit to take into consideration the position of the parties charged with such an offence. One of you, a gentleman devoted to the study and practice of the law, who must be taken to he thoroughly well versed in a matter so simple as this, and who must have known what was his duty. The other, I regret to say, a female and a wife—one who, it might have been thought, would have been the first to protect a young helpless girl who was placed in her power, but who, I regret to say, appears by the depositions to have taken an equal if not a greater part in all the indignities that were practised. When, after several months had elapsed, the condition of this unfortu nate young girl became known through the kind and hu- ' mane interference of a gentleman connected with your' own profession, what was her condition ? Emaciated, almost at the point of death, and so desperate her con dition that she could not even be nut back to the union workhouse, but the only place she could be sent to was a hospital. The extreme state of emaciation to which she was reduced was evinced by the almost incredible reduction in her weight, and the cause of that emaciation ap peared to be also clearly ahewn by the circumstance that the odministration of proper wholesome food speedily restored her to health and to her original bulk. It oho appears by the depositions that, upon the person of this unfortunate girl being examined, marks of violence, some of resent and some of older date, were discovered—those marks of violence extending all over her person, and evidently 'thew iug that she had been subjected to a long and severe course of illtreatmeut. I do not state these circum stances with any view of giving unnecessary pain. I trust that reflection has already caused you more pain than any remarks or punishment the court can inflict. I have thought fit to make them, because it Is quite right that the public should know that in every ease, where it is aatis factorily shown that a master or mistress has acted with cru..lty tewartle e servant, that the court is determined to institute a strict inquiry into all the circumstances, and to award severe punishment. It now only remains for me to pass upon you the sentence which has been decided upon for your offence, which is that you be severally imprisoned for two years. The defendants heard the sentence without betraying any emotion, and at the clew of the learned judge's address they retired hastily from the dock. COURT OF QUFS:I 4 FB RENCH.—YIESTERDAY.

The ecuse was triad about two years ago, before Lord Truro, when his lordship held that the question of reason. able and probable catioe of suspicion was a matter of fact for the jury, and a visreliet was given for the plaintiff; but the full court subsequently granted a new trial, upon the ground that it was u qui 'test of law on which the judge ought to have directed the jury. It appeared that the defendant is a partner in the house of l'ickford and Cu., and the plaintiff was formerly a coach man in the employment of his father, who resided at Whet none. Early in the rear 1848 the plaintiff was discharged for drutakeimess, he tioviiiu tilled his situation for six years previously. the the 6th of Marelt, 1848, the family dined, as usual, at 7 o'clock : and after the removal of the cloth, the plate •as deposited in the pantry, where it was seen at half-past it o'clock, but between that time and 9 o'clock it was steles.

No magistrate could, however, be bland to take the charge, and the plaintiff was kept in custody until the next morning, when he was examined and discharged. Witnewsia acre called on behalf of the defendant to prove cireumstances of strong suspirion. It was shown that plaintiff was seen about ti o'clock in the evening in question at t h e Torrington Arms, near Whetstone; that when he b•ft there lie went towards Mr. Basenduk's, haling told a person named Hawley, about he met, not to say that he Mel 'wen him in the neighbourhoo d.

Mr. Justice Patteson delivered judgment in Our ease, which RIO artriall during yarning sittings of the court last year, on a bill of early ion to the ruling of Baron Parke, to an action to recover c ills from the plaintiff in error, the defendant below. The tompany was incorporated on the 214 of July, 1815, by the act If & 9 Viet., c. 119, and the plaintiff in irror was a sh .reholder in a project fur making an exteusion line from Mullingar to Galway.

'fhe directors of both companies were the same persons. An act for the extension lino was passed on the 214 of July, 1846, but for only one half of the line originally pu g. led namely, to Athlone, instead of to Galway, 11w net wan the 9th and 10th Viet., c. 221. On the 18th of February, Ihl6, a meeting was held, convened by public stoke, for the purpose of settling terms of amalgamation, when a resolution was passed on these terms—that subscribers who had laud 21. 10s. per share should be admitted to the original com pany on paying 2/. 10s. further, which was to hr con sidered egnal to 71. 16s. ; that was giving a bonus of 21. 104. per share. itie of the directors, who were 0114 directors of the extension line, were present, and joined in the reso lution, hut they did not prof' to anent as director; or ar agents of the shareholder; of the extension line.

SOUTHWARK. SHORT WrIGIIT IN COALB.—Yesterday, Mr. Singer, of the firm of Singer and Company, extensive coal merchants at Bermondsey Wall, was summoned to answer the charge of selling a quantity of coals to Mr. Snout a furrier in Rederows-street, Southwark, deficient of the required weight, also with being without weights according to the act of par liament relating to the delivery of coals. Mr. Sinnet said that on Thursday, the 30th ultimo, a waggon load of coals was brought to his factory from the del, udant's wharf, when he inquired of the carman whc ther he had his machine and weights ready, as he had his suspicion respecting the weight of the coals. The carman told hint that the machine was out of order and he had no weights. \Vitae:ss accordingly went to a neighbour and borrowed scales , and weights ; and on weighing nineteen Packs he found 116th. deficient. Fearing that such a sys tem had been carried on by the defendants he thought that, in jo , tioc to himself and the public, he ought to prosecute the defendants to prevent them from defrauding others in a similar way. Mr. iißeekett asked defendant what answer he bad to make to the charge ? Mr. Singer—l certainly own that lam guilty so far as concerns the weighing machine and weights ; but the car man ought to have looked to them, and I object to Mr. Sinneen evidence respecting the weights he used. I don't think they were legal. Mr. Sinnet—l borrowed them from a wholesale grocer of great respectability, and I am positive the weights were genuine. Mr. a'Beekett informed the defendant that he must have been aware that he was compelled to have projxr settles and weights with the coals. Mr. Singer—l am not sufficiently acquainted with the act of parliament. However, I believe the coals were good weight when they left my place. Mr. a'Beckett—You ought to understand the law before you deliver coals, that would have prevented you from break ng the law. (To the complainant)—You ought to have gone to the police station and requested their scales and weights. The act of parliament states that such shall be kept in readiness at all station-houses. Mr. Sinnet—l went to the police station at the rear of the court and asked for them, but I was told by the acting inspector that they were out of order. Mr. h'lleckett-Did any constable go with you? Mr. Sinnet—Yes, sir. Constable 31 went and saw the coals weighed. Mr. alkek, tt—The act of parliament requires scales and weights to be kept properly adjusted at the station-house, and the authorities were under a penalty if the overseers thought proper to prefer a complaint. The defendant has, however, pleaded guilty to the offence, and I am empowered to inflict a penalty of 201. Since the alteration of the law which did not allow any moiety to the informer, such MICR were seldom brought before the public ; I ant, however, glad to sec private individuals do so, as the public might be defrauded to a considerable extent by coal dealers. I shall fine the defendant 101. After some little demur, the fine was paid. if. Liclejidd. a carman, of Jacob-street, Bermondsey, was next charged with delivering coals in one of his waggons without being furnished with the requisite scalds and weights. This case was the same as the other, only the defendant was the carter employed by Mr. Singer. Ile acknowledged that he was guilty, hut he thought the scales and weights were in proper order when they left his place. On the return of the waggon he found the scales broken and no weights with it. Mr. ii Beckett—You are liable to a penalty of 10/., but as this is the same transaction Isbell fine you the mitigated penalty of 10s. The fine was immediately paid. LAMBETH.

She lived in Britannia-terrace, City-road, and on the cabman turning down a wrong street in the Citrrood, she pulled the cheek-string, and told him he was going in the wrong direction, and informed him which was the right one, upon which he turned his horse's head, and proceeded to drive as she had directed. Immediately afterwards a hat was thrown through one of the windows of the vehicle, and the next moment the prisoner opened' . the door on the opposite side, leaped into the cab, and seiz ing Mrs. Fisher's boa, he dragged it with great force from her neck, and then endeavoured to mope. Mrs. Fisher screamed lustily, whilst her friend called " Police," and, on an officer coming up, the prisoner, who pretended to know nothing of the matter, was given into custody, and was conveyed by the officer in the cab to the station-house. The cabman stopped immediately Mrs, Fisher cried out, and the prisoner did not succeed in effectually securing the boa. He was positively sworn to by Mrs. Fisher and her friend. The jury found him Guilty, and being recommended to mercy by the prosecutor's wife, on the ground that his father was a respectable man, the court sentenced him to six months' hard labour, intimating that but for the recom mendation it would have been more severe. ROBBEKY—ADULTrILY—PERJCIIT. John Jacques, described as of 17 years of age, but look ing much younger, was indicted for stealing a handker chief front the person of James Sylarry Sharp. The case was clearly proved by the evidence of the proae entor and that of another witness. The offence was com mitted one day, and the prisoner was apprehended the day afterwards. The prisoner said he could prove that he was at home at the time the robbery was committed, and culled into the witness-box a girl, who certainly was not more than sixteen years of age, and who bad an infant in her arms. The Court.—What are you ? Witnists.— I'm his girl (pointing to the prisoner). The Court.—Do you mean that you live with lure? Witness—Yes I do—l cohabit with him. The Court. —.And is that his child ? Witness.—Yes, it is. She then proceeded to depose that the prisoner was at home with her at the time the robbery was committed. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty. The learned Judge said it was shocking in the extreme to see such deliberate perjury committed by the girl the prisoner had called, who, young as she was, appeared to be associated under most disgraceful circumstances with the prisoner, who himself was quite a boy. The officers said the prisoner was well known at the prisons. lie was sentenced to nine months' bard labour. COMMITTAL OP A WITNENS. On Tuesday, a boy named Martin was convicted of steal ing two shawls the property of Thomas Pybus Smith. The prisoner belonged to a gang of young thieves infest ing the bye-streets in the neighbourhood of 'Tottenham ' court-road, and it was proved that he stole the shawls in question from a linendraper's shop door at the corner of Tottenham-court-road. Ile had been in prison before several times, and he now stated that he had a father living, who was a carpenter. A man named Dyer came forward, and upon oath gave the boy a good character. Mc said the boy had no father living. The prisoner's mother said he had a step-father. Dyer, after much hesitation and fencing with the ques tions, admitted that he was aware that the boy had been in prison for thefts, and that he' (Dyer) was living in cohabita tion with the boy's mother, though at first he led the court to suppose that he came forward as an independent witness. The Court ordered him into custody, and he was removed to the House of Correction, Coldbath-fields. This morning he was placed at the bar, and The learned Judge said he certainly felt greatly inclined to order him to be prosecuted for perjury, as it was a very serious offence to endeavour to pass off a known delinquent as an honest person. After severely admonishing him, the learned judge directed him to he discharged. The prisoner was sentenced to six months' hard labour. NEW COURT.—YESTERDAY. Folli Taa RIMMLI•Iis. TIIR ROBBERY IN CORNHILL. Joseph Bassett, 42, watchmaker, pleaded guilty to stealing • quantity of musical boxes and clocks, valued ut 1001., the property of Joseph Savory, his matter. Mr. Clarkson prosecuted, and said that the prosecutors in the case are the well-known firm of silversmiths and dealers in fancy goods in Cornhill, and the prisoner wits in their employment, and had been for some years, having the management of the musical box and clock department. On the 11th of last December they took stock, the prisoner calling over the goods, which they supposed to be correct. Subsequently he left their service, and by a mere accident the prisoners robberies were discovered. It was this : a package in paper, supposed to be a musical box, fell down, and, upon its being opened, was found to be a wooden block. This led them to inspect their stuck, and they then found that a great number of packages which p.i..oner had passed over as stock had had the boxes re moved and blocks of wood put in their place. It was then found that prisoner had been systematically robbing them, and had employed a man to make him the blocks. The prisoner's salary was 1/. Ss. a week, partial board, and a commisdon on what he sold. • The Recorder, in passing sentence, said that although the prisoner had in some way atoned for his offence by pleading guilty, still the crime was one of so dangerous a character to the commercial interests of the trading community that the court would not be doing its duty if it did not pass a severe sentence. The prisoner had handed him up a peti tion urging in mitigation his poverty, arising out of the ill ness of his wife, but, looking at the circumstances of the salary the prosecutors paid him, the time he had been in their employment, and the confidence reposed in him, the court could nut safely listen to his appeal for merry. Ile was then sentenced to seven years' transportation. Tun FORGERY AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE. . . . John aison, a respectable-looking young man, not described in the calendar, was indicted for forging, and uttering an order for the payment of money, with intent to defraud Messrs. Foic and Henderson, the contractors for the erection of the glass palace. Mr. Bodkin prosecuted, and Mr. Parnell defended. The evidence adduced went to prove that the prisoner had been unc of the time clerks in the department of car penters at the Crystal Palace,'and it was his duty to return a written list of the time worked by each man, which, be ing calculated by the clerks, the amount was marked for payment, and placed in a box allotted to the number each man bore, and given to each man at the end of the week ; but if a man was discharged before the week had expired his work was calculated up to that time, and he was at once paid. The prisoner, being aware of this fart, had availed himself of the knowledge, and obtained the sum of 14s. 7d. by presenting a time ticket for that amount as from a man named Lovell, whom, he al leged, had been discharged, and, there being no suspicion, he was at once paid ; but at the end of the week Lovell, who had not left the works, applied for his wages, when the fraud was discovered, the prisoner having by that time quitted his employment. The jury found the prisoner Guilty. It was proved that, en 1849, prisoner had been convicted at this court of a burglary and imprisoned for one year. The prisoner begged for mercy on account of his wife. The Recorder said the offence of which he had been pre viously convicted was a most serious one. Since his incar ceration he had an opportunity of retrieving his character, but be had not clone so, and was now convicted of a very bad offence ; and he should order him to be transported for seven years. THIRD COURT.—YESTERDAT. Semen visa Opuses aaaall.W. CIIAIOI OP OTIALINO 1110KVA VICTUALS. Asps Prestos, smolt respectable looking elderly woman,was indicted for stealing Sibs. weight of bread, 2 or. of cheese, 11 oz. of mutton, and 3 lbs. of artichokes, the property of Henry Dixon ; and Mary Redcap, a decent, but very poor looking woman, with an infant in her arms, was indicted for having received the same, knowing them to have been stolen. Mr. Robinson prosecuted, and Mr. Woollett de fended. Police constable 322 V stated that on the 10th of Janu ary he was set to watch the side entrance of the prosecutor's residence. Forgone, Rouse. Twickenham, and about eight in the evening be saw Rednap go into the house, having with her a basket ; and in about a quarter of an hour she come oat again, and be then asked her what I she had got in it. She said a bit of bread and 1 cheese. Witness looked and found some mutton, bread, a tifve of cheese, and some artichokes. She said a Mies Litton, the prisoner's sister, who was on a visit, had given ! them to her. Witnees said she must go back with him ; and she then said she might as well tell the truth. The cook, Mrs. Preston. had given them to her for her supper. The articles were now produced in court, and consisted of the broken half of a 21h. loaf, about a fourth part of another, and a few broken p t een, all very mouldy, a small piece of cheese, some sad very withered potatoes and arti chokes, two or three scraps of mutton fat, and the bone of a leg of mutton, with a small portion of meat about the knuckle. THE POLICE COUBTS. GUILDHALL, BIITINO A PIANOFORTE.—Mr. George Ratcliffe, an , I auctioneer, of Mcwgate-street, appeared before Alderman Hunter to answer a summons charging him with selling to' Mrs. Louisa Hill a pianoforte for 271., representing it in the first instance as the manufacture of Collard and Collard, of Cheapaide, and afterwards as that of one of their foremen of the name of Bateman. Mr. H. Harrison, the solicitor to the Metropolitan Insti tute for the Protection of Trade, conducted the prosecution at the instance of Messrs. Collard and Collard ; and Mr. Hughes, a barrister, appeared for the defendant. Mr. Harrison stated that Mrs. Hill was induced to enter defendant's auction-rooms in consequence of placards dis played outside, and that while there she bid for a variety of articles, on which she paid a deposit. She then, on the re presentation that • piano that was for sale came from the workshop of Messrs. Collard and Collard, hid for it, and concluded the purchase on the condition that if her daugh ter, who was a better judge than herself of musical in struments, did not approve of it, she should not be required to take it away, and that the bar gain would be rendered null and void. It, however, appeared on a re-examination of the instrument that it was not the make of Collard and Collard, and on complainant telling defendant so, he replied that it was made by a fore man of theirs, and was equal to any of their 50 guinea pianofortes. Complainant brought her daughter to try it, and they both disapproved of the instrument, and told de fendant they declined to take it away. lie said he would insist upon complainant having it, and made out a hill for that and the other articles, which Mrs. Hill had paid 61. for, and he gave her a receipt for that amount on account for the whole of the goods, piano included. Mr. Harrison concluded by stating that he would call evidence to corroborate this statement, and then apply to the alderman to hind the de fendant over in his owu recognisances to appear and answer the charge at the London Quarter Sessions. Evidence was called in support of this statement, and one of the firm of Collard and Co. stated that no person named Bateman had been • foreman there for 25 years. Alderman Hunter said he thought that sufficient had come before him to justify him in sending the case to the sessions, and he would therefore bind defendant over in the sum of 201. to appear and answer the charge. WORSHIP-STREET. StSPIC101:11 DEATH .—C H ROL OF MCIIDER.—William Day, a feeble old man, in the 85th year of his age, anal who has been for upwards of half a century a poulterer in Leadenliall Market, was charged on suspicion with having caused the death of his wife, 63 years of age. The prisoner and his wife had lived apart for nearly 20 years, and the latter, who was es idently a person of extremely eccen tric habits, occupied the house, No. 1, Little South -street, Camberwell, anal supported herself by a small income and a weweekly allowance from her husband. It had been her cus tom,for some years past, to call on her husband at the market every Saturday evening to receive her allowance, • but not calling on Saturday last, her husband proceeded to her house on Sunday to learn the cause, and knocked several times but could not obtain adMt lance. On Monday evening he called a second time, and knocked for admittance, but without success, and he then mentioned to some neighbours his suspicion that his wife was dead, as she had latterly been complaining of illness. The door was in consequence forced open, and the place was found in great confusion ; but no trace could be disco vered of the deceased. On Tuesday evening a more minute search was made, when the body of deceased was discovered crouched up in a small recess behind some rabbit hutches— s place into which it was the opinion of the police, and all who saw it, she could not have got into herself. On the re moval cud examination of the body, several marks of vio lence were found upon it ; the neck was discovered to be broken, anal one of the stockings wax on. Mr. Elliott remarked that though the case was one of singular character and extreme suspicion, he did not think that any criminality attached to the prisoner, and he should therefore discharge him. The prisoner who received an excellent character from too or three respectable persons was then discharged. THAMES.

ASSLCLTING IlliPciii..—Tsosiiirdy-looking Irish men, who gave their names Dons/ ly and Girls', were charged with having violently assaulted White, Todd, and Maakwell, o ffi cers of the G division of police. The prisoner Donelly on the previous evening was fight ing with a butcher in Ntliitcerous-street, when 'White inter fered and separated them. The butcher went away, but the prisoner Donelly became abusive and turbulent, and assaulted the officer, who took him into custody, when he fought and kicked most violently until the other officer, came to his assistance. They were also desperately attacked by a mob, which consisted of between three and four hun dred of the lowest persons, who called out for a "rescue," and the prisoner Glynn was foremost in assaulting the officers for that purpose, when he was apprehended and locked up with the other prisoner. The officers were placed in so much jeopardy, that they were forced to use their truncheons, and were severely injured. Donelly did not deny having assaulted the officert, saying that he had been violently beaten by them. 04ma denied the charges ; but the ease having been clearly proved against them they were convicted ; Donelly being sentenced to six weeks' imprisonment, and Glynn for one month. The unfortunate gentleman, who was not present until the close of the evidence, had only been induced to attend wt. all, in the belief that he was prosecuting some parties whom he thought had endeavoured to poison him ; he, however, during the proceedings was in an adjoining room, singing and raving. The general and medical evidence, iscluding that of Dr. l'hilp, physician of St. Luke's Hos pital and proprietor of Kensington-house, showed that Mr. Cater had never been of strong mind, but had contrived to manage his own affairs prior to the ith of June last, when hs son died, at which he was so much affected as to become Inbued with delusions that his daughter had conspired with other relatives to poison him, that various persons in good firs =stances were in a destitute state ; had an action at lzw with his bankers, was going to cruet to meet the Queen, was high sheriff, very intimate with the Queen and Prince Albert and all the nobility. He was in the habit of wine eissarily buying large numbers of geese, of rolling himself abut in pieces of paper which he bad previously pasted so flat they stuck to his clothes, of collecting bones and other rabbish, which he hoarded and called his jewels. He was Any violent and destructive, particularly with hooks and newspapers. lle was taken to Dr. Philp in August last, when he at first refused to take his food, fur fear of being poisoned, as he said. Upon being introduced to the jury he kept throwing him self down and springing up again, exclaiming, like a child, "Up again." His answers to the learned commissioner, from their incoherence, and his general demeanour, con firmed the foregoing testimony, and a verdict was unani mously returned of unsound mind from lith July, lark.

The train had, it appears, come from Staveley that morning, laden with coal, and Bernhard was engaged coupling the empty wag gons together in the north aiding of the station, previous to taking them hack; the train was then set in motion, but Bombard, from some unexplained cause, had nut got on the engine at the proper time, and running after it, got upon the step, but not haling time to get further, he had to stand in that position; almost simultaneously with this circum stance the engine reached a post erected by the side of the railway, and there not being sufficient room for him to pass, he was crashed fearfully in the lower part of his body ; one of his legs was lit-rally turned ronnd by the force of the collision, and in falling be was still further mutilated by being struck by the connecting rods. lie was taken to the Swan Inn, end medical attendance procured, but he was so dreadfkilly injured that he died in about an hour and a half from the time of the accident.—Derbyshire Courier. ITLATY FLOODS IN Sourn WALES,—The long continuance of wet weather, joined with the late very heavy rains, have had the effect of completely . flooding the low lamb in the Aberdare valley. The river Cynose spread over its barks, and completely inundated the country to such an extent that it was feared that the traffic on the line of railway would be interrupted, and darner to the line • itself ensue. Fortunately, however, no injury was sus tained. In the neighbourhood of Dowlais there has been an immense fall of rain which, with the torrents from the mountains, hare inundated the country, rendering the roads perfectly impassable, The river Towy, in Cal marthenshire, has overflowed its batik. and flooded the country to a great extent. The town and neighhourh,ml of Cardigan have been visited by terrific falls of rain, which have cmip:etelv flooded the lower parts of the town, Boat ing chairs, table~, beds de., in the houses, the torrents of water ecryieg everything before them. Much damage has in consequence been sustained in various parts. Mr. Co&e—Why not? Because the parties m ight feel offeimled.
