The matter was placed in the hands of the police, and on the 28th of November Inspector Odell. of the Y division, called upon Mrs. Deer and raw the prisoner, and she they stated that the father of the child, a young man named William Brett, told her when she tenths workhouse to walk about all night and the child Would die of the cold, but to be sure not to lay it down till it was dead. She added that she took the train to Stratford at 8 o'clock in the morn ing. and laid the chill down on a door-step, but had done nothing to it. The inspector then took her into custody.

On the day that the prisoner left the workhouse, she called at his lodgings with the child and sal it was his, which be denied. She then said she was going to take it out to nurse.

John JOISPS, 459, said, about ten minutes to eight o'clock the previous night he was paring over Blackfriars-bridge from north to south. and saw, on the west aide of the footway a man's foot, and on looking over the parapet he saw the prisoner hanging with his head down and sus pended by his foot. He at once seized him by the leg, and with the ariistance of two working men got him back on to the footway. He was drunk ►t the time and very much excited. The prisoner said he was very sorry. He did not know what induced him to do it. He had no iuteutiou of com mitting suicide. Mrs. Smith said she could not account for his doing such a thing, unless it was that he had taken some drink, and was stupefied by it. He had three children, and had always been a good husband to ben Mr. Alderman Challis said that the prisoner owed his life to the officer Jones, and he advised him to avoid drink in future. He would treat this as a case of drunkenness only, and fine him 5e., or in default seven days' impri sonment. Mrs. gaith paid the Hue and took her husband home. SOUTHWARK. ♦ 31:110r3 XIST•I2M BY ♦ C•2XL Wm. Carr, agentitenancif position, residing in the neighbourhood of Richmond, was placed at the bar before Mr. Burchani, charged with stealing a shilling from the person of Alexander Stewart, a cab-driver,under the following extraordinary circumstances : The prosecutor said that about 1 o'clock in the morning he took the prisoner up from a tavern in Covent-garden and drove him to the Waterloo terminus. Previous to his getting out he asked witness for • shilling. He accord ingly held the latter in the palm of his hand. The pri soner took it and replaced it with another coin which wit ness found to be • halfpenny. He told the prisoner what be bad done, and demanded the shilling back and a shilling for the fare, and on his refiring to pay him either he drove him to the Tower-street station, and he was given into custody. He was not sober. In cross-examination by Mr. Hicklin for the prisoner, witness said that when he arrived at the Waterloo station the gentleman asked him for a shilling, or change for a two-shilling piece and on his handing it to him the gen tleman put the halfpenny in his hand. He did not give witness • two-shilling piece. Police-constable 45 I.R. said he saw the cabman having an altercation with the gentleman, and asked him what it was about. The witness said that he had given the gentleman • chilling, and instead of his handing him in return a two-shilling piece for his fare he had given him only a halfpenny. They all went to the station-house, when the prisoner said he had given the cabman a two-shilling piece, and he should not give him any more. The charge was then entered against him for stealing the cabman's shilling, and he was locked up, and remained in custody ever since. The gentleman was under the influence of liquor, and had upon him 131. in gold, 17s. 9d. in silver, and a gold watch and chain. Mr. Hicklin observed that it was monstrous for a gentle man to be locked up in a police cell on such a charge. He had plenty of money about him, and could have no desire to cheat or rob a cabman. If it was as the latter said the halfpenny was given in mistake for • 2s. piece, which he really thought he had given him. Mr.Burchare observed that it was a very serious mistake on the part of the cabman. He ordered the gentleman to be at once liberated. GREENWICH. OUTRAGEOUS ASSAULT AND ROMBERT. Clunks Bole, William Patterson, "Mena Larking, Thomas Lewis, Joseph Woodrojfe, George haumkrs, and Beery Bemis, young men varying u in age from 17 to 22 years, were thaiged with assaulting and robbing Stephen Cbecaeman, on the highway. at Sydeuham. Mr. Brookes attended for the prisoners. The prosecutor, who was severely bruised about the face, is • contractor to the Lewisham District Board of Works for the removal of dust and ashes, and the pri soners are itinerant collectors of dust. Three of them had been summoned for the illegal collection of dust, and on Monday last the prisoners and two others met the pro. becutor at Sydenham, and threatened to murder him. Patterson then put his hand upon him, and he was pulled down and violently assaulted by the whole of the It was then suggested that they should take prism It a book in which he was accustomed to enter the names and addressee of persons found illegally removing dust and ashes in the district, and Larking put his foot on his neck, while Kemp felt in the prosecutor's pocket and took from it a purse containing four half-sove reigns and a sixpence. On going away with this the prosecutor got up and endeavoured to prevent him, when Kemp struck him • violent blow on the eye and knocked him down, afterwards jumping up into • cart and dnving o ff , the other prisoners making their escape in different directions. Information was given to the police, and in the course of the day the whole of the prisoners were apprehended, Lewis remarking when arrested and informed of the charge, "All rig ht ; I sha ll now be all right for Dome Christmas p udding.' Mr. Cutchey, accountant, of Greshamstreet, City, re siding near the spot where the outrage took place, described the prosecutor as ha been felled like an ox by Kemp, who, he said, took somet ing from prosecutor's pocket, and drove away. Mr. Brookes addressed the magistrate on behalf of the prisoners • and said, although he could not justify the assault, yet a robbery was not intended in the first in stance, and asked his worship to deal with the case. Mr. Maude said the case was of too serious • character for him to dispose of in that court. Not may had • most violent outrage bra committed, but a robbery had taken place, and it was a question for a superior tribunal to de cide whether the whole of the prisons, in in such assault, were not legally liable to t for the robbery which had beau commit by one of their number. The whole of the primers were then committed for trial at the Old Bailey serious.

According to the report, whim* was taken as read, the capital account showed that the total amount received on consolidated stock shares and debentures to the 30th June last was 7,442,713/., of which 101,9144 was received in the half year. This total expenditure to the same _period in England and India amounted to 7,266,706/. The gross revenue receipts for the half year earned over the same mileage as on the corresponding period of 1867, amounted to 262,066/. as compared with 264,6861., and show • de crease of 12,61 W., of which 3,1924 arises under the head of pare p arcels , etc. 9,4381. under that of merchan dise, live s and miscellaneous receipts. With regard to passengers ere was an increase in the numbers carried of the let and 2nd dem of 662 and 6,194 respectively, but owing partly to the reduction in the fares referred to in the fast report, the let class receipt, show • decrease of 2981., and the 2nd class an increase of [only 6971. There was a falling off in the third-clam pemmican, which was attributable to the genets l der third-class and - in activity following upon the extraordinary inflation and collapse of commercial speculation in Bombay in the last two or three years. In the merchandise braft the falling off arises principally in cotton and grain. The half- year's receipts, t ho ugh actually less in amount, have in creased per train mile from 10e. 3.17 d. to 10e. 9'93d. in consequence of the reduction which was effected in the train tutelage to the extent of 60,102 miles. The gross working expenses amounted to 163,2171., showing a re duction of 3,2711., on those of the corresponding period. The line has been maintained in good order, and the rolling stock in excellent condition. The net revenue amounted to 98,8381. 19e. 10d., which compares with 108,1781. 4d. in the corresponding period of 1867. But from this is deducted 27,5004 as a special reserve for fencing. The report concluded by referring to a claim of a personal nature. The Bev. J. H. Hughes, • de voted and exemplary clergyman at Surat, ministered to the spiritual wants of the emplopie of the company fora series of years, front the construction of the line, and the board proposed that a sum of SOW. should be granted, to be presented to him as a recognition of his im portant services by the company. The Cuarshax, having referred at considerable length to the several paragraphs of the report, stated that upon the whole it appeared to him that they had every reason to congratulate themselves upon the condition and work ing of the railway, and concluded by moving that the 'spout, together with the detailed accounts annexed thereto, be adopted. The rcrolution was agreed to. A resolution to carry out the recommendation of the directors in respect to the grant of 5004 to the Rev. Mr. Hughes was also agreed to. The proceedings cloeed with the usual vote of thanks to the chairman and directors. A RAILWAY TRAIN BURNT OUT.
