Mr. :sleigh made an app!ica tint, to the court in this case —that the recognisatices of the w itnesses in the charge of manslaughter arising out of the tthove accident should be respited to the nest session, and that no bill should he preferred at the present sittings of the court. Ile said that fifteen witnesses were bound over or requested to attend before the grand jury at the present session. and oat of that number, from souk cause ur other, only two or three were in attendance. Messrs.Lewisand Lewis had only been very recently instructed to prosecute, and they felt that under the circumstances it would not be advis able to prefer a bill against ti e defendants at this session, but that the best course to take would be to let the case stand over to the nest lebbioll. The Recorder said he considered it was not advisable that the charge should hang over the heads of the defen dants fur another session if it could be disposed of at the present one, and be suggested that inquiries should he made with a view to see whether the defendants could not ho tried upon the coroner's inquisition. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAV.) SECOND COURT. (Before Mr. Payne.) A GoAT IN CO HT. A I ieharl Conner, tinel-de:II:a sailor, was indicted for ate:sling a goat, value 10s., the property of John Sullivan. The pri, , oner pleaded not guilty. John Sullivan, of 15, Ws, 'house-buildings. Whitechapel, said he was a labourer, and on the 27th of December he was iu the Sidney smith public-house, Dock-street, Whiteehapel, and had a goat with him, which wu held by a!trlng. _ Mr. Payne—A goat ! Where is it! Witness—lt is here, my lord. (Laughter.) Mr. Payne—Bring it in. (Renewed laughter.) Witness—Yee, my lord. The goat was accordingly led into court, and its intro duction to his lonlship caused a deal of amuse ment. When the quadruped in question arrived it did not seem to understand it, new position, and looked mond and round until it I.IIV his lordship, when it made a bleating noise, and as cell kliaviour was likely to inter rupt the business of the court he was immediately ejected, amidst shouts of laughter. Eviden,o resumed—The prisoner, with two other men who were in the public-house, rubbed against me and took the goat from me. I was a little the worse for liquor. I tried to follow them when they went out, but was pre vented. John Pales, 09 U, said—l saw the prisoner come out of the public house with the goat and I took it from him. Prosecutor then charged him a ith robbery, and I took him into custody. The jury Acqeditted the prisoner. THE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.) ROWSTREET. ASSAULTING A PRIVATE CoNsTAIILE AT THE OLYMPIC THEATRE. A respectable-looking young man named Martin Welds was charged with am:totting Hobert Anclilfe, a private constable employed at the Olympic Theatre. It appeared that on the previous evening the prisoner drove up to the theatre in a Hansom cab, and without wait ing to pay the fare, entered the house and proceeded up the box stairs. The cabman followed him up the stairs demanding payment of his fare. Ancliffe remonstrated with the prisoner, advising (inn to pay the cabman, to which he replied by striking Anelitfe as hard as he could with his fist. He was at this time entering the corridor of the boxes, but the manager and the box keeper refused to admit him, and on his forcibly pressing forward they pushed Lim out. He then turned upon Anclitfe, axd showered about a Boren blows upon 1 with his welk in* cane. A constable Ili) was called in, and the pnsoner was given in custody. This was corroborated by Edward Thomas, the check taker, and by the constable. The prisoner said he did not think he was capable of behaving in the violent manner described. He was too drunk. He mentioned that he hail a situation which he should lose if he were not :it his business at a certain time. The magistrate commented very severely on the conduct of the prisoner, whom he should have sentenced to im prisonment without the option of a fine, but that he was unwilling to cause the loss of his situation. He must pay 403. or be imprisoned 21 days. The fine was paid. CLERK EN WELL. A NEW sTVLE oF TIINF.ATENING LANGUAGE. .1 , .m.,. .11. In of Ever-cottage, Albion-road, Newington, was eb irged with using threatening tAd menacing language to Mr. Robert Mason, of Laurel tottazes, Albion-road, whereby be apprehended bodily The complainant said that the defendant was a tenant of his. arol as he had not paid his rent, he was compelled to Pita distraint on his goal-. This seemed to annoy him very 4 " 1,1, ..,nd as soon as he arrived home the defendant rapped at his door, awl when he was told to go away be said he would rip bim lip and do for him, and he also said that he would whitewash him. This annoyance continued fon d I, apast I: to a quarter to 10, and although he con. tiaudlly seut for a police constable not one could be found during that perie.L In consequence of the de fendant', violent conduct he went in fear of his life. Mr. I: ulcer said that he had heard of a man being white washed ..f his debts but he had Dever heard of a threat of shit, w.,-hing a man. Did the complainant know what it was the defendant meant he that. The defendant said he did not. All be knew was that he eas afraid that the defendant would do him some bodily I Lam. If , rriet Palmer, servant to the complainant, said that the heard the defendant say he would whitewash her 'caster, and th a t Wail all the threat that she had heard him the The defendant denied tint he had said that he would rip L'teninpLinant up, but he could not deny that he had THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 8, 1867. that he would whitewash the complainant if he em, out of his house. On the day before this affair took place the complainant asked him for his rent, ►nd he said he would pay it on Tuesday. This seemed to sati-fy the complainant, who shook bands with him when he left. Instead of waiting till the Tuesday for his rent, he put the brokers in on the Satur• day. if, paid the brokers out, and wanted a receipt from the ,omplainant, and when he would not give him one he ilia feel annoyel. and said he would " whitewash " the complainant. That was the only threat that he made use of. _ _ r. nirker said that whitewashing was a new kind of threat. The defendant would have to enter into his own recognisance' to keep the peace for 61X months and pay the costs. WORSHIP-STREIa. THE RE. , 'I. 'T ANNAULT DT .% NI ItGEoN'S ASSISTANT. rhotrtr, /Pt', a till gentlemanly young man, assistant to Messrs. !toper and Hopkins, surgeons, at lsO, Shoreditch, was charged un remand with an assault on the last named gentleman, another assault on William Pole, 67 whereby he was seriously injured, also with being drunk and break• log a plate glass window. Defendant iiiipeared on his bail, and Mr. Hopkins having been called, Itated that so far as he was concerned he desired to withdraw the charge in every respect ; indeed, he would rather speak in defenit's favour, for he held a Ligh opinion of him, and during the nine mouths he had tended with him in the house never witnessed or heard of his being under the influence of liquor. What had occasioned this sudden out break he was at a loss to conjecture. The constable stated that when called on the evening of the :list of December to Messrs. Roper's surgery, the defendant was struggling with Mr. Hopkins, and that he and Sergeant Leather, G Division, had difficulty in separating them. In the course of this defendant fell, and on rising made such a desperate rush at him that the thick glass window of the surgery door was broken, and a piece of it passed through his iwitnesa's) over and under coats, inflicting injuries from which he had since been on the sick list, and not out of doors until this day. Defendant tried to kick him while on the ground. Sergeant Leather said that the divisional surgeon had this morning told him the wounds had healed, that danger had ceased, and the constable now suffered only from bruises. Defendant said that he had not any questions to ask, and could only express his regret for what had occurred. Mr. Ellison—Du you wish to say anything as to the cause of your being in such a condition': Defendant— I wad certainly intoxicated, and it is long since I was so before. I pushed the constable aside and he fell against the door. Mr. Ellison—l cannot too strongly impress on you the folly, I may say madness of giving way to exce-ies of airy kind—you, a young man, bst entering life in such a profession. lam inclined to elieve that this matter is more the result of accident than an intentional assault, and therefore am content to bind you over in your own rectiguisances of to keep the peace for six months. SOI7IIWARK. T/IE ,VVD THE POOR-BOX. During the list week the magistrates at this court have been inundated with applications for assistance from the funds of the poor-box. Most of the applicants are very pour people, who have seen better days and would prefer the pains of hunger rind want rather than seek relief front the palish. Mr. Voolrych has laid down a very excellent rule with regard to these poor people. They obtain letters of recommendation from some person in the district, and after presentation to the magis trate their cases are carefully inquired into by Mr. Hank. inson, the otlice-keeper, and according to his report and his worship's opinion the relief is granted in sums of money, according to the pressing necessities of the poor applicants. By these means the really deserving poor are relieved with out humbling their position in life. Should the cold and rough weather return, it is likely that tickets will be issued for coats and bread to the district visitors and others, if the funds at the disposal of the magistrate will I allow it. This morning the applications were very numerous, and sums cat money to some extent were dis tributed. SHARE LISTS.-(THIS DAY.) Oars o'Cioos.

WANDSWORTH. THE HOSPITAL NURSE. ANT) HER ',UGC AGIL-Cl*RlOlll AFFAIR. . - A young man, who gave the name of FranciA Jo An (Whom, and his address at Fountain-court, Strand, was placed at the dock on a charge of stealing two bags, OM taming wearing apparel and other articles, the property of Mary Ford, who described herself as an hospital nurse. The prosecutrir, on being sworn, stated that she bad obtained a situation at the Royal Hospital for Incurables at Putney. She came by a train from Waterloo-station to Putney, having with her a dark leather bag and a carpet bag containing her clothes. She saw the prisoner at the station, and he asked her whether he should carry her luggage and call a cab for her, She said " Yes, " and be went away with her bags. He returned in about ten minutes, but she did not think that he intended to steal them. The magistrate. however, elicited from her that before the prisoner returned she had informed a constable that a man had run away with her bags. Inspector Egerton said the prosecutris had not told the whole truth of the matter, for only one bag had been found. _ _ The prodiecutrix was again questioned, and she said the constable waa with her when the prisoner returned. He threw the black bag over • hedge. She denied that she had lost another bag. The prisoner told the magistrate that he came from London with her. The prosecutrix—We rode in the same carriage. Prisoner—We had v. little conversation in London. Prosecutrix—Only at Waterloo station. Ho asked me if he should carry the parcel for me. Police-constable Knight said he was on duty at Putney hill at 1 o'clock at night, when he beard the prosecutrix screaming out " Police !" He went over to her, when she said a man had run away with her two bags and hidden himself. While he was obtaining the description of the man from her he saw the prisoner coming down with some thing under his coat. He ran away and threw the black bag on a hedge. The prosecutrix charged him with stealing two bags, but only one was recovered. The prisoner denied running away. Mr. Ingham decided upon remanding the prisoner for inquiries. IX PCDENT ROBBERS.

The prisoner in defence said he could not get any work, and he was hungvy. Mr. Ingham—You knew where to apply. The prisoner was then remanded. GALLANT CONDUCT OF A CLERGYMAN. A Cor respondent at Dyinchurch (says the Kentish Gazette) gives us the following interesting details of • shipwreck which happened there on Sunday morning, and the gallant con duct of the rector of the parish, who, in the most praiseworthy manner, went off to the wreck, and was the means of saving the life of the last man who was left clinging to the rigging. Our corre spondent says :—" Dyinchurch, Sunday. Last evening the wind blew a gale from the S.E. dead on shore. About 9 p.m., a large barque was seen close in shore. The signal for • vessel on shore was instantly given, and the Volunteer Life Company with the coast guard in this village were soon on duty with the life ap paratus, and a line was thrown off to the ship, but she was able to hold her own and came fairly on shore with appa rently little damage done to her. Her name was the barque Towey, of Llanelly, Wales. On Sunday morning, at day light, a vessel was seen in the o ffing, waterlogged, and men hanging in the rigging. Manby's ap paratus and the services of the Life Company were again called f or, but it was found that the vessel;was beyond reach of the apparatus. The next resource was the lifeboat from the Littlestone station, three miles to windward, but the crew by some extraordinary arrange ment were found to be in attendance on the barque Towey, which was then high and dry on the beach, and it was an hour and a half before any move was made to get the life boat down. In the meantime the men were seen dropping one by one from the rigging, as there was then little hope of any a:mit:ince from the lifeboat. Continued attempts were made to throw • line to the vessel. At last a line was thrown tierces the rigging, but by this time all but one of the crew hail disappeared, and it was soon seen that he stood but little chance of getting to the shore without further help. In this emergency the Rev. C. Cobb, rector of this parish, volunteered in a most gallant manner to go off to the vessel, which had now drifted to within 50 or GO feet of the shore. In company with one of the coastguard, lie safely reached the vessel, got the man out of the rigging, and safely to land, amidst the plaudits of hundreds on the shore. The lifeboat made its appearance in an hour or two after the man was fairly and comfort ably housed. The vessel proved to be the Courier, from Dunkirk. One man was found dead on board, and the others were lost, the vessel being • total wreck."

Payne, the deputy coroner, held on inquiry at Guy's Hospital, respecting the death of Edmund Alfred Calcutt, aged 20 years. The deceased was a carman in the employ of a ginger-beer manufacturer, and resided at Wilmer's-gardetui, in the Kingslend-road. On Boxing-day he had been to see a young woman to whom he was en gaged to be married. After he left her he joined four young men, and they nU went and visited two public houses. While at them they drank two quarts of ale, half a pint of gin, and some spruce. The deceased and two of his companions hailed a " Havelock,"or Camberwell omnibus, in the Hackney-road. The three young men got up outside, and sat upon the knife-boanl. After the omnibus had stopped, near Lombard-street, the de ceased felt ill and vomited. When they reached Grace church-street the omnibus conductor mood ot, the wheels of the omnibus, and said to the deceased, " You must get down," and he caught hold of him by the leg of his trousers. The deceased then got down, and in doing so fell for ward, and his head was dashed against the pavement. One of his corn 'ow, named Hewitt, said to the conductor— "We shall look to you for this." The conductor ordered the omnibus to drive on, and its number was not &seer tauThed. The polio. carried the deceased to the hospital. Mr. H. Dense, house-surgeon, said that the deceased ex pired on the 3rd instant froin compreseion of the brain, the result of his injuries. His nose was broken and the bones at the base of the skull were ilisloc.ted. The jury re ' turned a verdict of "Accidental Death... SEVERS WEATHER IN NORTH WA LES. —A WIW- I spondent, writing from Bangor, says :—On Saturday night this locality was visited with one of the most severe snown storms known for many years, and the lines of rail way from Holyhead to Chester were completely blocked with snow. Men were sent out to clear the rails, but were obliged to give it up as hopeless, snow drifting faster than they could clear it away. The mail train leaving Bangor at 9.30 p.m. for Leeds met with a very serious accident a few miles from Aber. The train ran off the rails owing to the heavy drifts of snow, and the engince having broken away from the carriages, they, including the Post office carriage, rolled over down an embankment ; for tunately and miraculously no lives were lost, but some of the passengers and post-office emplonis were severely shaken. Owing to the severity end wildness of the night, no help was at hand until dawn, when gangs of men were employed to clear away the snow which Mocked both lines, and the Irish and London mails suffered a detention of more than twelve hours. The London mail, which should have arrived at Bangor at 4 a.m., did not reach there until 4.40 p.m. The snow was in some places from seven to twelve feet deep, and the telegraph posts were blown down by the force of the wind and the weight of the snow. Altogether such a night has rarely been wit nessed in Great Britain of late years. COMMITTAL FOR EMBEZZLEMENT.

F‘all, who knew herself best and we:, better known as Granny," was, up to the very hour of her death, a singu larly shrewd and lively old lady, and, propped up in her comfortable bed, held her regular receptions, and was wont to crack jokes and bandy repartees with her visitors, in which encounters she not always come off second best. Although her body was waatoll away till her arm was not thicker than a mans foree tiger, her animal spirits never seemed to flag, and her senses asst intellect were in a remarkable state of preservation. By the kindness of Dr. Keate, the house surgeon, she had many privileges not usually accorded to paupers. anion,: which were her lunch, her glass of gin, and her pipe, which were duly prevailed at ll o'clock each morning. On New Year's-day she finished her gin and smoked her pipe as usual, and then quietly lay back and died, without a struggle or sign of pain.
