The case stood adjouniel to arrange to set nide IX a year. Richard Wood and another, their masters ; and Daniel Da • aids. 45, dialer, was indicted for receiving the property. Madge and Belden pleaded guilty. Mr. Metcalfe and Mr. Orridge prosecuted; and Mr. Sleigh, Mr. F. 11. Lewis, and Mr. Cooper defended. The facts proved in evidence ware these :—The pressen. tors are wholesale grocers in Cannon-street, and they having some suspicions of Bollen and Waklin, Smart, an officer of the City, was set up= the watch, and upon two occasions it was found that Waklin had made up extra parcels of the prosecutorsgoods, which the carman t o ok o ut a nd ga ve to The jury found Waklin Grille, and The Court sentenced him and Daniels to fifteen months' imprisonment, and Bolden to nine. THE POLICE COURTS. MLNBION.HOUSE. William Baer, • lad 16 years old, was charged before Mr. Alderman Hale, who sat for the Lord May o r, with stealing the sum of 911. 19.. lid., the monies of his employ ers, Messrs. Whitmore and Craddock, wax chandlers, 16, Bishopsgute-street Within. Mr. rniddock stated that the prisoner was his o L rk, and on the 31st of October he sent the prisoner, as he was in the habit of doing, to Marrs. Williams and Co., their bankers, with 911. 19.. 6.1.-421. in gold, two Ti. Dotes, and the rest in cheques and post-office orders, which were all crossed. lie came back and stepped in the office for about twenty minute, when he asked to be allowed to go awl see his Lather. He went out but did not return, and as be did not make his appearance the next day witness Bent to Messrs. Williams to ascertain whether he had been there on the previous afternoon. He found he bad not, and he had not beenseeo since. _ John Price, police-constable 652, said about half-past 10 on Sunday night, the prisoner went to the policetation in Bishopsoste, and stated that he had robbed his employers, and was eery sorry for it, and wished to give himselt up. Upon searching him be found the cheques and Post-office orders produced, and thirteen duplicates relating t o some clothing, • watch, two gold Albert chains, and a gold seal. Mr. Craddock said, that on account of the prisoner's ex treme youth he should like his lordship to deal with him as leniently as he possibly could. The prisoner appeared to have suffered very much ; he was so much altered that he should scarcely have known him had be not been pre vioilidytod who he was. Mr:Alderman Hale asked whether there was any one who would take care of him if he dealt with him summarily? Mr. Craddock stated that ho was very sorry to say that those who ought to be his friends be was afraid were any. thing but what they ought to be. Both he and the police man had made inquiries respecting his parent., and had ob. tamed a very nnsatisfactory account of them. He thought the prisoner had been influenced by some one in the brit place. Mr. Alderman Hale said that upon considering the evi dence, it was quite certain that the prisoner had not shown any repentance for the act whisk be had committed. He had held out till the very last, sad the last article he pledged on Saturday last for 15.., so that it was evident that he had gone on as long u he could and then given himself up, and he thought his altered appstaoce might be the con sequence of the company be had opt since be absconded, and under these circumstances be should commit him. The prisoner, who had nothing to say in reply to the charge, was fully committed for trial. Jecult.« Welch, 18, and boar Barrie, were charged with stealing a gold watch, value 151., from the person of Mr. Alfred Calloway, hosier, 60, Feetcheep. It appeared that the prosecutor was standing just inside his shop door on Saturday night, waiting for the rifle brigade, who were further down the street, to peas. While there the two prisoners came up, and Welch stood before him, and Hams leant against the doorpost. Soddenly he felt a jerk at his watch, saw his chain drop and at the same time saw the prisoner Welch's hand quickly withdrawn. The prisoners both ran off ; but the prosecutor soon over took them, when they pretended to know nothing about it. Welch got away, hut was taken shortly afterwards. The watch was not found. Partridge, the assistant gaoler, said that the prisoner Welch had been convicted from t his court before, and also from Guildhall The prisoners were sentenced each to three months' im• prisonment with hard labour. GUILDHALL. Easord Goodell, of Mordes•road, Blackheath, and Henry John Todd, of 27, Park-plaos, Gravesend, described se merchaata, carrying on business in London, having been apprehended by Paokman, the detective offices, ut their respective residences late on Sunday evening, were Owed at the bar before Mr. Alderman Allen charged with having within three months of their bankruptcy obtained goods to the value of about 450/. and upward' on credit and under false pretences, with intent to cheat and defraud their creditors. Mr. Poland, instructed by Messrs. Mason and Stint, said in this case he bad the honour to appear in support of the don, which had been ordered by the Court of pro e kr7ptcy, against the prisoners, for fraudulently obtain ing large quantities of goods on credit within three months of their bankruptcy. He would merely give an outline of the case which he intended proving, and then adduce suf ficient evidence to ask for a remand. It appuired that towards the end of December, 1&57, • partnership was entered into by the prisoners for the par. wee of dealing in goods and sending them abroad - but as Todd, who bad an office in Sire-lane, had been threi; times a bankrupt, he was unable to obtain credit in his own name, and he therefore had recourse to the expedient of coupling it with that of Gandell, whose father Thomas Ganda', had for many years carried on the bodiless of a packer at Joiners'-hall-buildings, in Upper Thames under the name of Gandell and Co. That firm was well known and of good credit in commercial circles, and he (Mr. Poland) would show that advantage was taken of Dust fact in a manner calculated to allay any suspicions that might arise through the appearance at Todd upon the scene. The prisoner Gandell, though having no authority to order the goods in question for the firm of Condon and Co., neverthe less held a responsible position in the firm, as manager, at • salary of W. per week, and while in that capacity he re ceived goods at his father's p remises, which been or dered in his father's name of Goodell and C 0.," and those goods were afterwards pawned, or otherwise disposed of, for considerably lees than the prioe they were pur chased at. In July last they filed a petition for • private arrangement, their liabilities at that time amonntiag to over 20,0001., of which more than 10,00 W. were unsecured, and up te the present time the assets bad not realised more than 30W. The case he proposed proving for the purpose of a remand was one on which on the lfth of July last the prisoners obtained of Messrs. Hardman Brothers, of Rawstanstell, near Manchester, 22 pieces of serge,, and on the 21st and 23rd of the same month 82 pieces of printed woollen linings, of the total value of 459/. 18s., which goods were immediately banded over to Booth and Sons, auctioneers, of Budge-row, for certain ad vances made upon them. Those goods were ultimately mold by the auctioneers, and part of then, were bought in by Messrs. Hardman'e agent*, but • considerable loss wawa upon them. The whole of these transactions were con ducted as though the parties were dealing with Thomas Garden and Co., and such was the belief of Messrs. Hard man. The prisoners were adjudicated bankrupts on the 3rd of Aural, and such was the hopeless state of insolvency in which they were placed at the time these goods were obtained, that on the day before they were ordered a writ was out against the prisoners for a sum of 20W., sad a bill for 1711. was unpaid when it fell due, so that they could not but have been aware that they were not in a position either to continue their business or to incur fresh liabilities. Evidesoe was given in support of some of these facia, but as it issecemarily in a very incomplete state we reserve our report of it until the next examination. Mr. ()gorge, for the bankrupts, said Mr. Poland had over stated the liabilities, which were something like one-half the amount already mentioned. Mr. Poland said the liabilities were 21,0001., of which 11,000!. were secured. His original statement was quite correct. The further hearing of the ow was then adjourned for s week. A fashionatdy-attired young man, about 20 years of age, who gave the name of Ceenrye Henry, and who described hinuielf es a jeweller, having no fined remdenoe, was at the bar before Mr. D'Eyuconrt, charged with & ed n( nine minces fifteen pennyweights of gold, at the &Aran radio, 11, Gloncsoterotreet, Clerkeowell, the property of Um Elizabeth Dyer, value 30f. The prisoner was further charged with stealing a coat and other articles, value 5/. 10s. the property of Mr. William Peering. Wr. Lewis appeared for the prosecutriz ; and Mr. John Walieling, of Ureat Percy-street, elerkenwell, for the pri soner. — ilia evidence in the case of the robbery of gold was first taken, from which it appared that the prisoner had for some time been employed ►at a Jeweller's in Clerkenwell, and in his business was in the habit of going to the flatting-mills in Gloucester-greet. Some days since the prisoner was dis charged, and had not got another situation. The prisoner went to the mills early in the morning of the day of the robbery, and having spoken to prime of the workmen pre sent he went away. He returned again in the course of the day, and while be was there the piece of gold: the sub ject of complaint was seen safe on a board, it having only a moment or so before been softened. The prisoner, who had • loose coat on his arm, was seen to go near the board, but no suspicion was entertained of him till he left, when the gold was missed. Information was given to the police, and the prisoner, on Friday evening, wee apprehended he police-constable Barker, 524 N, sad Tyler, 42 G, and saki, when he was told the charge, he knew "the who had done this for him." Both before and after the rob bery the prisoner had sold pieces of gold at • refiner's in Barbican, bat the description of gold which he had sold 'duce the robbery was of the now quality as that which had been stolen from the flatting mills. Since the robbery the prisoner bad boa spending • large sum of money, which he refused to give an account of how he became powered. Mr. Wakeling said that at present there was no evidence to Chow that the prisoner had stolen the gold, and it was too bad to lock a prisoner up on a mere suspiaioe. The evidesce in the second ars of robbery was that the prisoner lodged in the mane hoses es the proeerntor, and that be absconded, taking the coat and other articles with hiss. None of the property had been recovered. Mr. Lewis asked for • remand, sad mid on the neat occa sion he should be abis to compile the um Mr. Wakeling asked that bail might be taken for the pri. softer, whose friends are highly respectable. Mr. Inyncourt reamoded the prisoner until Satunlav next, bat cemented to take hail, the prisoner in the sum of dW., and two sureties in the sum of 3W. each. CHARGE OF ASSAULT AGAINST A CLERGYMAN. A charge of a very painful character, in which the Rev. A. Seaton, rector of Colton, was the defendant, and Dr. John T. Harland, of Bellamour Lodge, the complainant, was brought before the magistrates at Itugeley on Thurs. day. The charge was one of assault, alleged to have been committed on the 27th of December at Colton Rectory. The use was opened for the complainant by Dr. Hill of the Oxford Circuit, who stated that some low y ea n ago the rev. defendant became a widower, when Miss Oldham, of Bellamour Ledge, the sister-in-law of the complainant, amongst many other kind officer, took charge of the eldest daughter of the defendant Some abort time ago the defendant was agiiu carried, and Le eubeetpieutly entertained au idea that Miss Oldham had alienated from himself and wife the affections of his daughter. On the 27th ult. the defend. ant wrote to Miss Oldham, expressing satisfaction that his wife and daughter were as fond of each other as he could wish, and that the latter load not wholly lost her reverence for him, "notwithstanding the miserable elan. den which she had been doomed to listen to from the lips of herself and Mn. Harland." The letter, which con tained further similar excitable expressions, was briefly replied to by Miss Oldham, and on the return home of the complainant a note was written by him to the de fendant, suggesting that a meeting should immediately take place, with the view of ascertaining and inquiring into the allegations contained in the letter. With this sno ges tion the defendant immediately coincided, and proposed that Mrs. Harland., Miss Oldham, and the complainant should at once confront his daughter at the rectory. The counsel then prxeeded to detail the circumstances, which occurred during the interview at the rectory. These were subsequently borne out in evidence by Dr. Harland and Miss Oldham. The words "infernal liar" were said to have been used by the defendant, who also struck the com plainant severely several times, and scratched and kicked him. The rev. defendant conducted his own MO, assisted by a legal adviser. The language used was not denied; but it wax argued that the complainant WAS the first to take hold of defendant's coat collar. The daughter of Mr. Seaters, a young lady between fifteen and sixteen years of age, was also mu-mooed as a witness for the defence. She stated that she did not see the defendant strike the complaisant, and asserted that she herself struck the complainant's ear, thereby drawing blood. At the conclusion of the use the chairman of the magistrates said that everyone who had heard the case must regret that the rev. defendant bad so far forgotten himself, and more especially would they be pained at the defence which had been set up, and which had done more harm than anything else. The Bench had come to the unanimous decision that the fine must be the highest allowed by law, which was 5f., including costs, or in default two months' imprisonment. —Mu nehtster Guardian. PROPOSED NEW RAILWAYS IN LONDON. The first metropolitan railway bridge across the Thames has been opened, the works for • wood at Charing cross have been begun, and parliament has passed en act for a third at Blackfriars. The metropolitan line, which is here to meet and join the Chatham and Dover, and with it constitute the first railroad entirely through the heart of London, is likely to be opened in the spring of next year. This metropolitan line, which will come from Paddington by Ruston-square and King's.cross, and bring the traffic of the northern lines to Ferringlon-street, has a bill for an extension to a more thoroughly ' city sta tion" in Finsbury-eireu.s, to which point also it is proposed to bring the Eastern Counties line. Another city station scheme has also made its appearance, in the she of a plan f .i or bringing the North London line from Kingslancl to 1-etrest, Brand-street, saving the round by Bow l an i rrkpney ; and there is also a bill for a line from Broad-street to Irongate-wharf, on the river. But br sides conveyance into the very midst of London, and a railroad through London to save through passengers and goods the drive along the streets from station to sta tion, there is the pressing need of another line of communi cation east and west through the town. Accordingly we have the " West-end and City " scheme for an underground line from Regent-circus to join the Metropolitan at Holborn laidge there is also a proposition to extend the Metmpoli. tau itself from its Paddington end to Bayswater and Ken sington : and the "Charing-cross Railway(City Terminus)" Olen • line from the Chinn-arose Reamed in St. Saviour's, Southwark, over the Thamev to Cannon-street, giving 'a route from that street to Charing -eyes*, the pas sengen crossing the river twice. Last there is the Thames embankment from Westminster-bridge to Blackfriars, with, it seems, a railroad, and in all probab il ity a new street eventually from Blackfriars-bridge to the Bank. These are not the only metropolitan schemes. It is pro posed to make the Regent's Canal supply a railroad from Maiden-lane, in the north, to the Thames at Limehouse, with branches to existing lines. The Kensington station line asks leave to extend itself to Prince Albert's-road, Kensington ; a line to Hammersmith is projected, and • line from Greenwich to Woolwich. Other branches are proposed, some of them uniting the great trunk line—a line from Edgware to King's-cross and the North London line, another from Hornsey to Hendon, one from Totten ham to Homey, a line connecting the Great Northern (at Barnet) with the North and South Western Junction line to Kew, lines from Rrentford to Richmond, and Rickmanr worth to Uxbridge, the latter completing a connexion be tween the Great Western and North Western. London and its neighbourhood form the great mark for the compe tition of this session. DEsTRUCTIVE FIRM AND PROBABLZ LOB or LlFE.—Yesterday morning, about S o'clock, great alarm was caused in the neighbourhood of the Borough, owing to a fire breaking out in the cabinet manufactory belonging to Mr. Weatherstone, No. 91, Union-street, Southwark. The building in which the misfortune commenced was nearly 50 feet deep, and comprised store-rooms, workshops, drying house, &c., and adjoined sundry houses in the main street, including the Boni Music-hall the property of Mr. Gear. Unfortunately when the Lumen arrived, the plugs were frozen to such an extent that boiling water was obliged to be used to thaw them, which, of course, caused some delay, and meanwhile the fire, having plenty of timber to feed upon, extended with great swiftness, and eventually the whole of the manufacturiog premises presented a regular blaze, and the houses in front had their backs also in flames. The Boro' Music Hull and the ollshop on the western side were both placed in great jeopardy, but the moment the plugs were thawed a good supply of water was obtained, from which the firemen went to work, but they were unable to get the games extin guished until the workshops were burnt down suit the pre mises need by Mr. Gear as store-rooms were destroyed, and the backs of two houses in Union-street severely damaged by fire. The loss will fall principally on the Westminster Insurance Company. A young female,_ only 17 years of age, was admitted into the Charing - cross Hosp ital-lag night, burned in a frightful manner. She was a servant at a gentleman's house in Piccadilly. The firemen and engine from Chandoe-street attended, and the poor creature was taken to the above hospital wrapped in a blanket, but upon reaching that institution some of her clothes were still on fire. They were at once cut off, but not the least hopes can be entertained of her recovery, she having been burnt round the neck, face, chest, and legs. A spark flying out of the grate is supposed to have Named the melancholy dieuter. THE MURDER AT PLYMOUTH BARRACKS. —After oar reporter left the police-station on Saturday night the prisoner told one of the sergeants on duty that it was not much for him to be hung, as his grandfather was hung before him, but he hoped that if such was to be the case he should be hung in front of his regiment. He slept very soundly during the night, occasionally awaking at inter vals, and on Sunday morning he ate a very hearty breakfast. He had several meals during the day, all of which he appeared tel enjoy. He has been very composed and tranquil; appear to understand the position in i which he s and the nature of the crime he has committed, or once during the day, and only once, he re ferred to it, and asked the sergeant in charge of the place whether or not he thought he should be bung. Police-cun stable Strong gave him a tract to reef, which he accepted very gratefully, and appeared to peruse it with earnestness. Daring Saturday night and some port ion of Sunday crowds of people assembled outside the Guildhall, and eagerly dis enema the murder. The murdered now had only re-enlisted for • terni of ten years, and was about to go on furlough on Today. Neither Sergeant Jones nor the prisoner are married. An inquest was opened yesterday on the body of the deemed. The jury expressed their dissatisfaction at the conduct of the authorities in not bringing the murderer before them, as is customary there. The inquest was ad journed until this day. Hacked has been examined before the magistrates, and . remanded until Friday.

The scent% thrt took place yesterday on the ice is the different parks were such that can with difficulty be deaeribed, more especially the proceedinp of last night upon the serpentine River, in Hydwpma. About 8,090 persons were bold enough to venture upon the ice, but after o'clock last night several hundred persons formed them selves into skating parties, and each carried a lighted torch. The light thrown up by so many links burning at one time had an extraordinary effect ; ooe sheet of fire seemed to stretch from the bridge impending the Serpentine from Kensingtowgardens to the bridge near the Albert-gate. Every precaution had been taken by Mr. Williams, the Superintendent of the Royal Humane Society, to prevent accidents. Danger pules were placed in those parts of the be not cimaidered safe, but in late of which several of the more reckless climbed the pole. and affixed fireworks on the tope, which acre ignited, to the danger of drawing worm of persons Moon the nevt treacherous portions of the frozen surface. During the torchlight and pyrotechnic display several of what ,re termed "the express train" matches were performed, in which several members of the Skating Club, a grist number of ladies awl Volunteer Riflemen leek pert. Fefortunately, whilst these amusements were ping us, several serinusaccidents occurred. t Whist° the peat Mr of the Foresters at the Crystal Palace last night it was understood that the norturnal matches on this river had bees postposed until this day (Tuesday), but if last night can be taken as any criterion of the number that may be especteil tonight, it is to be feared that several serious if not fatal accidents will take plats. To :odd to the danger, application has been made to Mr. Young, the secretary of the Royal Dunaway Society, for the aid of the society', ice nien to attend this evening, as it was in contemplation to have a grand rifle corps on the ice ; the hour when the proceedings are to take p was not named, as three was to be a general meeting last night. The number id teats, burning cauldrons for roasting cliesnuts, &c., added materially to the effect of the scene Last night. Whilst the parties were punning their amusements one man named William Grey. of 1, Cottagevow, Westminster, was tripped op, fell egainet another person, and the two fell upon the ice. Unfortimately the grey fell upon the Mating link of the ode r, his shirt collar wee set on fire, and he was dreadfully burnt about the neck awl thout, awl was obliged to be removed to his residence iu a cab. Another ppeenranoonn during the torchlight procession, named Ealwarel Woolgae, cad Curnbarlantbstreet, Marlborough-rued, Chelsea, was tripped up by a skater, which threw his.. rap n his head and completely stunned lairs. He was to the Humane Society's house, but such was the serious nature of the in. juries lie haul received that Mr. Williams gave directions that he should he taken on the society's stretcher to the hospital. Eight other persons were received at the society's house, having got their beads cut by falling upon the ice ; they happily recovered sufficiently to be able to be removed to their own homes.

THE RRAIENT . I4 ?ARC —Ten thousand persons dizported themselves upon the ice in this park, several persona were severely injured by falling, and a peat number of men bad their hauls cut open by being tripped up by the skaters. A gentleman named Welch, of No, 2, Pallkr. e.row, Meryle boo', was thrown upon the lee, and broke his collar-bone. Ha was emoved to the Royal HUMPS Society's tent. and, after being unsoiled to by Dr. Norton, was removed in is cab to the hospital. The les here is five inehee in thickness. by. JAMEA'S PAM—The number of sliders and skaters on the ornamental waters of this park was 3,000. A nun named Henry Hook, of No. 2, Lanalowne.terrace, Caledo niaa.read, fell on the icia and received a severe and deep wound over the left temple. He was attended to by Dr. M'eann. Another nun, named Thomas Burns, of Spring-gardens, was also severely injured. He was taken to the society's test, and his wounds were drceeed. Two little toys broke through the ice, and were rescued by iceman Perry. A boy named Inman was also seriou s ly injured. He was attended to by Dr. M'Cann and Mr. Superintendent Williams. They were put into warm baths, then placed in beds, but some time elapsed before they were able to be removed to their homes. The thermometer at the Royal Humane Society's Receiv ing•house during Sunday night was 21 deg., being II deg. below freezing point. At 9 a.m. yesterday the quicksilver rose to Bi. At noon the glass indicated 30, two degrees below freezing point ; but towards nightfall the mercury began to descend, showing that the present weather was likely to last for some time longer. The barometer yester day_ stood at :0.13, and the wind was west 'meth-west. VICTORIA PARIL—ThiLrEk wall patronised, it is com puted, by 3,000 slakes • skaters. Arninget the number were many members of the Tower Hamlets Volunteer Rifle Corps. A very exciting match for 50t. a sale was gone through between Mr. Brumfoed, hall maker, of the Queen's Prison, and Mr. Roy, of Roupell-street, Lambeth. The distance was :3;io yards ; and the first-named was declared the victor. This ice is not in such perfection as that in the Water in Keesingtou-gardens, or the Serpentine in Hyde-park. THE RICER TELUEZIL—Great inconvenience at present preys& on the River Thames, the water to the leeward of the wind being almost frozen over, and below bridge the coal barges cannot be navigated, as they are completely frozen in. Should the present severe weather continue the Thames will he able in a short time to be pared over by pedestrians, for already some of the arches of Blackfriars and Westminster-bridges, are rendered impassable, owing to the accumulation of ice. This has caused for the present an entire suspension of the running of the Iron and Citizen steamboat. above London.brid,:e. Toe RIITAL teaser GARDII.I.—The frozen lake in these prelims is now perfectly secure, and some hundreds of per sees disported themselves upon the ice throughout the day.

The llecorderaaain eougrAtulat A the grand cry upon the small Dumber of mows that were in the va l e r, anti he observed that their were fewer prisoners for trial at this session thou he ever recullemed at this of the year. lle also said he was happy to udorm them that none of the charges involved the de.tructiou of bunion life ; and the most serious case that would be brought before thou was a charge against a prisoner of having feloniously wounded a pairs-con stable who had Mhos him into custody for bane offence, with a view to effect his escape. This charge, however, although undoubtedly a very animas one, was not likely to present any difSculty to them in the consideration of it, and none of the other cams appeared to him to require any observations from him respecting them. The grand jury then retired, and the court adjourned for a short period to give them an opportunity of finding scene bills. J. Siliorte, a German, remanded from last session, was shamed with stealing a gold ring, value 125., the pro perty of (knelt Fitch. Thel.roeecatoristhis able, it appeared, carries on the busi ness of • watchmaker and jeweller, in Barbican, and on the 15th of IYeeenaber the prisoner went to his shop and asked to look at sonic rings. The prosecutor showed him a number of rings, but none of them appeared to suit him, and he made various excuses to induce the prosecutor to go to the window to fetch him more ring, to look at. Mr. Fitch at length missed one of the rings that he hail shown to the prisoner, and he at one taxed the prisoner with stealing it. He denied hav ing done so, and endeavoured to leave the shop, but the prosecutor prevented him, and lie struggled with him and endeavoured to throw hint down. The missing ring was not found, but the prosecutor said he was certain that the prisoner must have taken it, and his impression was that he had swallowed it. When the prisoner was searched, no money was found upon him. The prisoner, in his defence, merely denied that he bad stolen the ring. The jury, atter some deliberation, returned • verdict of Noe Guilty. The prisoner was then charged upon • second indictment with a similar offence. The prosecutor il3 this case is also a watchmaker sod jeweller, cud has a shop in Eureetreet. On the evening of the 17th of November the prisoner went there and asked to look at some fancy articles of jewellery, and be selected several, the price of which was between llf. a nd l a He then requested the prosecutor to takeithe things to his house, and he said he would acc o mpany hi m an d p ay him.

He then hurried back to Lis shop, and upon cannoning his stock he found that LI gilt ring Jul been substituted for a gold one, upon one of the cards of rings be hail shown to the poisoner. Vi hen the prisoner was taken into custody two braes rings were found upon him, and a brass Albert chain, to which no watch was attached, hung from his waistcoat button hole. -- file jury returned a venlict of Oniltq. Itichan! Cannon, a metropebtan police constable, pro duced a certificate, by which it appeared that the prisoner wee convicted at Clerkenwell in May, 1859, of stealing a ring from a jeweller's shop, and sentenced to one year's im pruontusat, and Mace he had been discharged ho was con victed upon a chug* of the same deacription, and he bed only just come out of prison when he committed the of fence of which be was convicted. The Recorder sentenced the prisoner to two years' hard labour. thOrge Bosom, 26, saddler, and William Wilson, who was brought up by habeas froin the House of Correction, where he is at present undergoing a sentence of imprison ment for felony, were charged with feloniowily uttering a forged 101. Bank of England note. Mr. Gitfard and Mr. Matthews sonducted the prosecu tion ; Mr. Sleigh defended Bonney ; Mr. Metcalfe was counsel for Wilson. The circumstances under which this charge wee preferred against the prisoners were of rather a panliar charsctar, but as the facts have repeatedly appeared in the police re ports it will be unneoemsry to give the evidence in detail on th e preempt occasion. It appeared that on th e 3rd of October last • perms Denied Bennett, who resides at Hackney, was standing Dear his own residence, when the prisoner Wilson came up and entered into conversation with him about the weather and other subjects. He then said that he had oome to Hackney upon • very unpleasaut business, and went on to state that he bad sent his man in the morning with ten guinea, to purchase • pony, and that his man had very foolishly, and without his knowledge, endeavoured to obtain the animal for a lees sum than had been agreed on, and this had so affronted the owner that he refused to let him have the pony upon any terms whatever. He then informed Mr. Bennett that the pony belonged to a Queker, and that he was so strict and ernacientious in all hie dealings that there was no chance of his getting passession of the pony, which he wished parti cularly to have, unless he could Ind some one who would buy it for him, and he suggested that he should give the money to Mr. Bennett, and that he should prirehme the pony of the Quaker gentleman. At this moment the other prisoner, Bowery, who was dressed like • groom. came up, and Wilson said that lie was the groom of the owner of the pony, and that he could manage the matter, and he pulled out what appeared to be • 101. Bank of England note and some other money, which he handed to Mr. Bennett, and he gave it to the pretended groom. Bonney looked at the note and said that it would not do to give it to his master, as be was a very strict man of business, and he would recognise it as the one that he had previously offered to him, and the whole arrangement would be spoiled ; and he suggested that Mr. Bennett ahead get the 101. note changed for another one or for gold. Mr. Bennett appeared to have been completely thrown off his guard by the pro ceedings of the prisoners, and he at ones acceded to the pro position of the prisoners, end went to the shop of Mr. Tyler, a butcher with whom he was acquainted, and asked him to change the note he had received from the prisoners, at the same time giving him some information as to the transaction in which he was engaged. Mr. Tyler, it a was not so easily deceived, for he at once treatedT r pt cording as a swia4e, and ran out of the shop to the place when the prisoners were standing, and upon his puttingsome questions to them they speedily taw that the game was up, end ran away sad savoured to make their escape, but they were pursued and taken into custody. ne jury found them Loth Guilty. At tin commencement of the ease it was stated that Bennett, the principal witness, was very ill, and tumble to attend, and some legal dimension took place as to whether the circumstance would justify the Recorder in allowing his deposition to be read. His lordship ultimately directed that this should be done, but he consented to reserve the matter for further consideratiou. The prisoner Rornsey was thou charged upon a second indictment, with feloniously uttering another forged 10/. note. F. H. Lewis appeared for the defence. The prosecutor in this case it appeared is a saddler and tames, maker at Roydon, in Lees, and on the 27th of August, the prisoner and another man named Edwards, whom be represented to be his master, went to his house and bargained for a pony, a cart, and two whips, for which Edwards agreed to give 28/., and be handed to the prose. rotor what appeared to be a 10/. note and two si. notes, all of which turned oat to be forged. The Recorder mid is appeared to him that whatever their suspicions might be. after hearing the last case, he did not think there was sudlcient evidence of guilty knowledge to justify the jury in convicting the prisoner. They accordingly returned a verdict of Pal Gritty. The sentence upon both the prisoners was postponed until the question of law above referred to shall have undergone further consideration. William tort 32, plaided guilty to a char g e of burgles, in the dwe ll ing -house of Alexander Hugh Rea, and steal ing several gold chains, value 601., his property. The prisoner, who wee not mortised as an old offender, was sentenced to twelve months impri s onm en t an d h ar d labour. NEW COURT. (Bdore die Common Berjetaß) Edwin Butler, 29, marine, and Janes Smith, 30, artil lerynne, were indicted for • busgiery In the dwelliniphonse of Anthony Besseland Stransham, and stealing a pair of piton, valued at 15/. 155., on. cloak, valued at 4/. 46., and other property. The pnaoner Butler pleaded Guilty. It appeared thin upon the 4th of December the hoses of the prosecutor, who is commandant of the Royal Marines, at Woolwich, was broken into, and the property in question deka. The two prisoners had been seen together doss to the house of the prosecutor about the time the burglary was conunitted, and the prisoner Smith was found is pommies of part of the property a few hours after it had beep stoles.
