A great deal of observation might be made as to the weight, as even i< it was proved to have belonged to the prisoner It would only serve to show that it had been connected with her room. . _ _ THE MURDER zrIAR NEWCASTLE. Yesterday (Monday), at 2 o'clock, the inquest on the body of the unfortunate deceased hnan, Thomas was opened in the Mill-house, at tfrpeth, before A. Paull, coroner for the Chester Ward, and • respectable jury. The corpse was identified by Edward Hart and the son of the deceased, who went out on the pre vious morning. The only other witness examined was a young boy, Samuel Wilson, 11 pears of age, and son of Mrs. Jockey by her first busbend. On the application of Sergeant Robinson the inquest was then adjourned till Mon day next, at Pelton ; Dr. Hudson being appointed to make • post mortem examination, and report the result on that occasion. We regret to learn that the wife of the hard-hearted pri soner is in a very precarious state. Of her ultimate reco very, however, hopes are entertained; and it is expected that she may be able to attend and give evidence at the inquest on Monday next. She is represente d . as being • womanof very industrious habits, having during the life. time of her first husband saved as much as 10 1 0/. Of the earnings thus accumulated Luckey had expftted to obtain possession ; and thus seems to be accounted for the marriage, which has been productive of so unhappy au issue. On his way from Bishop Auckland on Saturday, the heartless fellow stopped at Waldridge Fe ll , about fivennles from Urpeth; and going into • public-house, he partook freely of drink,sub sequently falling asleep in the plank H e frequently, i t is stated, during his short stay there, talked about his wife. On reaching Felton Fell he had some more spirits ; and when he got to the house of his wife at Urpeth he was considerably under the influence of liquor, although he seemed conscious of what he was doing. But for the pre. some, in that cottage, of Harrison, the poor woman would have been alone with her child ren, as the adjoining mill is now tenantless; and still more serious, perhaps, might have been the consequence*. As it is, the prisoner has already alleged that he came to destroy his wife ; and that if the knife had not been wrested from him he would have killed himself. THE POLICE COURTS. James M. , rgdl2-1 am a baker, living at Road, and am parish const.ible. On Saturday, the 30th June, young Master Kent came to my house, and asked where the po licenian lived. 1 directed him, and police-constable Urch, of the Someniebihire police, called at my house, and asked rue to go with him, u he was not at liberty to act, as it was in the county of Wilts. riir J. Awdry—He might have acted, as it was only the adjoining county. 'xamination resumed—On the way thither we saw Mr. Kent coming out of his lawn. I ran ' and asked him what be wanted Inc and the policeman for, sod be said "I have had my little boy stolen." I said, "You need not go further than Southwick ; you can give information to the Wilts policeman there, and be will forward it to the station and come up here." Mr. Kent said he should go on, and he went towards Trowbridge, and he asked me to go to the house and search. I went on to the house, and was shown the drawing-7Z the housemaid . The window out of which they sup the child was taken was raised four or bye inches, an we next went to the nurse and saw the r. sum We saw the nurse at the top of the stairs. I asked her to show me the cot where the child was taken from, and she did so. When I first saw it the clothes were quite smooth. There were the marks of where the ehild had lain on the pillow. The clothes were then as they were generally, the quilt and so on turned down. I asked her if she had lost anything else out of the nursery beside the child, and she said the blanket had been drawn out of the child's cot, but there was not anything else miss ing. Ureh and I then went downstairs and examined the Premises, to sec if any violent weans had been used to get into the house, or any marks of disturbance in the draw ing -room. We went all round the premises searching. We went down into the cellar to ace if he had been taken down there. As 110011 as I got out into the court I saw Benger coming with the body sd the child lost, wrapped in a blanket. Crueoexamined—Mr. Kent could have got a policeman at Southwick, which is nearer than Trowbridge. I pve evidence on oath at the inquest and before the magistrates, and for an hour ands half, it may have been more, before Mr. Slack. At this stage of the proceedings an adjournment for a few minutes took place. - - - - Os the inquiry being resumed, Alfred Urch said--1 am one of the county constabulary of Somerset, and em stationed at Road, which village v partly in the count of Wilts and partly in Somerset. On Satur day, the :10th of June, Muter William Kent came to me, and applied to me to go to Mr. Kent's premises. I had been on duty the previous night, and came off at ten minutes past one a.m. I raw sohody of suspicious appearance about. On my way I saw Mr. Kent coming out of his gates. Mor gan and I went to Mr. house, and examined the pre mites. The nursemaid showed us the not and the bed clothes. They were up quite smooth, sa though the bed bad been only just made. W e turned back the bedclothes, and saw whore a child had been lying. The impression of the heed was quite clear. I asked her at what time she missed the child, and she said at five o'clock, but she did not make any inquiries for it before a quarter to seven. I asked her liovr that was, and she said she thought Mrs. Kent had hoard the child crying and had taken it away. I asked if Mn. Kent had ever taken the child away before. She said she bad not in her timt, but she had heard that she had when the other nurse was there. I asked her if any thing else wus missing, and she said nothing but a small blanket which was between the sheet and the quilt. I asked her how that could be taken without disturbing the clothes, and she said it was narrower, and therefore could he drawn oat without disturbing the clothes. I then examined the premises. There was no dew on the grass that morning. I went to the house again the next night, by Mr. Foley's direction. emea-examined—Another cocetable, named Heritage, went with us. We were placed in the kitchen ; the door was locked, and we were locked in the kitchen at the back part of the house. We did not . go to sleep. We stayed till 20 minutes to four, when Heritage, having to go, began knocking at the door. 1 was sitting in the chair, and he knocked to get out. I said to him, " You are noise enough to disturb the whole house." He said maki , 'l' ng m locked in, and must get out." Mr. Kent came and let us out in about 20 minutes., anti Heritage said, "I don't know how we come to be locked in in this manner." Mr. Kent soul nothing but " I've been walking about." I stayed till sic o'clock, when Mr. Kent came and said it was time for me to go, as the servants would he getting up. I did not see the blanket. I didn't com pare it with the sheet, to sae if it was nar rower than the sheet and so could be drawn out. I have sever told any one that we did not go to sleep that a iliam Nutt said—l have been clerk at the parish church at Road for 17 years. Having been told of the loss of the child I went into the premises to assist in the search. A man called Singer and I went in at the gates and down the left side of the drive, and ea straight as we could to the closet round the shrubbery. Blood on the 'closet floor then attracted our attention, and we went into the closet. "There is something here, go and get a cane." . I did so and returned, and then Benger It is here." He drew the blanket up through the hole in the seat and placed it on the scat. He then put in his hand spin and drew up the body of the deceased. I knew the deceased when he was alive. I then observed that its head Inn eat nearly off, and it fell sideway'? back. I then spread out the blanket and laid the body on it, and took it to the kitchen and put it on the table. The nurse was there, and I remarked that she must have slept very soundly for any one to have taken the child from her room. She answered _ me rather tart, and said she knew nothing of the matter. Cross•examined: -I proposed that we should go to the water-closet, after making a se-arch of the premises. I was examined by the magistrates when Miss Constance was had up. I did out predict that we should nod the body there, but only that there bad been some unfair play. I Maned at first to go to search the grounds because I did nut like to go oa a gentleman's premises. I said that we should hd a dead shill out of the house if we did not fiat a living one in the house. I did not deny the signatures to my de position More. I said I believed it was, but could not swear to it. Mr. iii;doders having objects.' to a question from Mr. Ribton--the question as to whether Mr. R' Raton had a right to be present at the proceedings--and after reference to an act et parbament, Sir John Awdry confirmed Mr. &widen I as to law, but permitted Mr. Ribton to proceed. Mr. Ribton applied that the previous depositions made by the witnesses at the magistrates' inquire in relation to Con stance Kent should be revived in evidence, or at lout be submitted to the riistrstes for their guidan ce. 81r John permittaA reference to the depositions without their being put in evidence. After an amusing croes.esamination with reference to the (Deputed signature ' mitres, mid- I believe I dial ear that I thought we should find a dead child. before the child was found, when I was on the lawn. Immediately we saw the blood on the floor I said, "It is a. I predicted." No one bat Benger Liked me to uurch. I have never Mated before on oath that the nurse answered me rather sharp. I was examined by Mr. Black at Bath for three-quarters of an hour. I first saw Bulger that morning at the crossroads. Reexamined-1 went to bed the night before the =trier about 10 o'clock. I did not get out of bed or get up at all until al o'clock neat mousing. My wife sleeps with me. Thome. }tenger eaid-.I see a small farmer, living at Road. Having learnt from Master W. Kent that Mr. Kent's child was lost, I went up to the premises and 44W Nutt, an d we went and searched the shrubs for the child. After luoking about for some time, we at last got to the closet. Mr. Kent, whom I saw ohl me he would nut begrudge 101. i: the child coultebe found. We saw a small patch of blood in the and went in and lifted the lid, sad looked in, and 1 saw something. I could nut make out what it era..

I did not hear l utt predict that we Mould had a dead child. Peezimiesd— I was preeent when the privy was emptied. T h om was a great deal of blood about the paper which was in Pam. Superintendent Foley mid—On the "Saturday morning I was applied to by Yr. 'Kent comenting this case I went to R. 4.1 and low the dead child. I inquired for the none, and mw low.

It was covered with blood. Blood appeared to have dropped down upon it. In the privy was a splashboard. The flannel was below the splaehboard. I had suMelent room to pat down the crook by the aids of the splaahboard. There was no soil on the piece of flannel. It appeared to have been very re cently put there. By my direction MIS. Delamire, the wife of one of the police, searched the female inmates. erese-examined--On the morning of the murder the nurse appeared to give me all the information about it in her power. I don't know whether the prisoner bad stated that the blanket had been stolen away. The blanket was shorter and narrower than the other clothes, and might be drawn away from the othen. It would have to be loosened on one side, I think, before it could be done easily. She did tell me, I am sure, that she did not know the blanket wastakentillshesaw it broughtin with thechild. My memory is not so good u some. I took no notes of what SION said to me. Mr. Kent told me twice, in the presence el Mr. Wolfe, that he did not know that the blanket had been taken away until he had come back the first time. I have heard that Mr. Kent said here yesterday that he did know the blanket was taken away before he went to Trowbridge. Snowing this does not shake my evidence on this point at all. The splashboard is about 2or 3 feet from the seat. I know when the prisoner left Mr. Kent's—the 27th °ldealist. Up to the time she left she had always seemed to give every information she could on the matter, and I never noticedany inconsistencies in her statement. She went away with her father, sad when she got home she sent me word that she had done so, that she would at any time come for ward and give evidence if I gave her notice, and that she would not leave home without letting me know of it. I know that the two police men had been locked up, and was very much sur prised when I heard it. They were very nearly discharged for suffering themselves to be locked up. My arrangement with Mr. Kent was, as I tualaretood, that they should have the range of the premises. Be.ezandued—The p ironer has never given me any information about it w ihuh was of use to me, nor has any one else. she told me once she was ewe it was noS Mini Constance, and when I aaked how she came to be so sum of that, was it then she herself, she said no, nor was it Mr. Kent ; it must have been some one concealed in the home. Heavy Knowler—l am a 'weep. I have been in the habit of sweeping Mr. Kent's chimneys. I went on the 29th of June. I swept the kitchen chimney and the nur sery. I saw the servants, the cook, housemaid, and nurse. Nurse paid me. I have been them to sweep the chimney 3 since. Mr. Bibton submitted to the bench whether they would ask Mr. Saunders whether he had any other evidence to offer as far as affected the prisoner. Sir J. Awdry said that. in a case of this nature, they must proceed with the whole of the evidence. The witness Nutt was examined as to the position of the body on the hplashboard. Orms-exanuned—l wear a body flannel, but not a chest The witness Meager was also recalled, to date that the body was lying a httle on one side, with the arms and legs drawn up. Polioe-constable Heritage proved accompanying Mr. Foley to the privy, and finding the piece of flannel. He said—On the Saturday I went with police-constable Urch to Mr. Kent's house and was locked in. '• Crom-eaaniined—l did not kick the door, but hit it with my staff. I made • peat noise. Mr. Kent came after about 20 minutes. I told him we did not know we were going to have the door fastened, and he said he had been walking about. Superintendent Wolfe said—On Monday, July 2nd, I went over Road-bill House, to see if any person could have been secreted in the house. I went first to the spare rooms, and Mr. Kent, who accompaied me, said, " Meets a room which hi not often occupied . " Hooked in and saw it was furnished ordinarily, and said, "Surely no one would secrete themselves here, as they might not know butthatthey were coming in here." Thenext room was a lumber room, filled with children's toys and so on, and I said, "No one would know but that theservants were coming intothis room, also." The only place which I could find in which it was likely any OM would he secreted was under the roof, above all the rooms. The access to this from the house was diffi cult, but there was • small window coming in from the red. I saw nothing to indicate that any one had been there. On the lst of August I was with Captain Meredith and had a conversation with the prisoner. She said it was half-past ten or twenty-five minutes to eleven that I last maw Mrs. Kent on Friday evening, June 29. In reply to Mr. Heine she first time I missed the blanket was when the child was brought in dead. I went in and looked into the crib, when I went up to do Mrs. Kent's hair. She frequently repeated this. She said that when he went to bed he was not very comfortable, and she turned him round and tucked him in, and I think she said she kissed him, and then went to b ed. Some few days after the murder she took me to the cot and showed me how she tucked him in, and went on to describe how she had found the clothes on the morning of the murder, folded with a double fold three parts down to the foot of the bed. By the Bench • In this part of the roof there was consi derable dust and rubbish, and if any one had been reoently there he must have seen it. A modal of the deoessed's cot was here produced, and the officer explained minutely the positions of the child cud clothes. Witness resumed—Prisoner told me that when she woke, about eve in the morning, she saw the child in the little cradle by her side was partially uncovered ; she raised her self up on her knees and covered him up, and then saw that the deceased was gone. I tried the experiment as to whe ther this could be done. It was done in the presence of Mr. Dunn, who took a garment and put along the cot, and I could not see it when kneeling down. Looking over the crt we could not see the child. The side of the cot was of cane, and looking at it in that position sideways the cane appeared solid, and I could not see through it. Crone-examined —The questions of Mr. Ribton on the I evidence elicited no variation of the statement. Oros-examination confirmed—Primmer at all times mani _ feeted an inclination to answer all my questions. She said to me once, " If I knew about the murder, do you supponi I could have kept it for five weeks ?" On the 7th of July she said, " I know nothing about it, who came into my room and went out I can't say. I did believe, and do now, that some one wan secreted in the house that night. How is it that we bear very often of people secreting them selves in houses, sometimes for robbery - r And, again, she said, " The night-light in m room was quite burnt out in the ordivary way, it does no t burn quite six hours, it was lighted rather before eleven, and quite out when I firs:. saw it. If I had kuown anything I should have told Mr. Foley on the Saturday muff ing. What edvantap would it be to me to keep anything?" Mr. Kent pointed me out spire room in which he said there might be a per son concealed. There was a *oh in the room ;no one could have been under that without being seen. 1 apprehended the prisoner at her father's house. 1 have in the ineuoran dum I produce statements male at different timer to me by Mr. Kent and all the domestics. ice-examined—The clothes were folded down very neatly. Prisoner said she thought it must have been done by • female, it was done so neatly. On the 7th of August pri soner said, " Mr. Kent has never &Untied to the matter to me from tint to last. The young ladies have, and so has Mies Constance." By the Bench —These questions were all put to get in formation for our owe • taut to obtain evidence against ber. I heard r. Kent deny knowing about the flket being gone tat he came back from Trowbridge. 1 was present when he told Mr. F ole y so. Mr. Sanuders—We have disposed of 13 whammies today. I now propane to adjount. We shall have only eight or woe more then, and neat of them on small mattes. The court broke up at 5 =till 11 o'clock to-day. It was understood that it would then close. The demeanour of the throughout the day has been tranquil and com . She has evinced the liveliest interest in all that has peered, though remaining silent. Mr. Dunn, solicitor, sad Mr. &Ilia, barrister, have attended to widish the use for Mr. Kent. but have remained When being removed yesterday to Devises Gaol prisoner said to Mr. Wolfe, "They may imprison me for life on this vidence, but they can't hang me."

On Monday, at the Leeds Town Hall, Thomas Bamford, engineer, and Benjamin Bamford, his brother, were placed in the :lock. Thomas Bamford, who, it will be remembered, eloped with a Mn. Barker to Hull, on the 18th ult., was now chva• with larceny in having in his possession when apprehended a considerable amount of money, the property of Mr. Bar ker ; and Benjamin Bamford was in cuatody on the allega tion of receiving moneys, well knowing the same to have been stolen. Mr. Granger, of Leeds, who appeared for the pro secution, took the case against Benjamin Bamford the first. He said the younger prisoner was in the Leeds court house last week, wheuThonme Bamford, the engineer, was charged with felony, and ha was then allowed to have certain intercourse with his brother, who was in the dock. It would appear that the mutt of tide conversation was the journey of Benjamin Bamford to Hull last Tuesday morn ing, in which town he obtained, on the same day, about O. in notes of the Bank of England from his sister, Mrs. Ripley, of the Founilene Arms Inn. Benjamin Bamford appeared subsequently to have gone to a public house, where he became intoxicated, and displayed his money freely to the assembled company. A policeman was sent for, it being the opinion of some one in the house that Benjamin had not come by the money honestly, but as soon as the latter saw the officer he ran away. He was pursued and overtaken by the policeman upon which he pulled a bundle of notes out of his breast pocket, and attempted to swallow them. As be was biting away, however, at the bank paper the officer seized it, and then found it to consist altogether of notes of the Bank of Foglsed to the value of 751., and upon the person of the prisoner was also found 141. in gold and 21a. in silver. He (Mr. Granger) should show that these notes were the property of Mr. Barker, the prosecutor in the elopement case, for they bad certain initials on them, sod the prisoner m ust have known from the circumstances under which he obtained possession of them, that they were Barker's property. Evidence in support of the charge was then riven, and the nusgistrAtes adjourned the case until Wednesday, in order to allow time for the production of Mr. Ripley. Bail was refused. The charge against Thomas Hamford was next called on, but as Mr. (infuser was lacking a material witness from Harrogate, his further examination was also postecl to the same day. When Mrs. Barker, who was elegan tly dressed, entered the court, she was loudly hissed y the crowded . court, but any repetition this manifestation of feeling was checked by the magistrates saying that if it again occurred the Alines were to clear the court. THE HOP HARVFET. With reference to the remarkable failure of this year's British growth of hops and to its coww gumless, a circular issued yesterday by Messrs. Woolloton and Bon has the following : After five crops, large beyond precedent; an almost entire failure of the British growth of hope has occurred, arising from the long clintinned cold, rainy reason, and from severe blight Laving attacked the plantations at a period later than usual. The parishes generally producing the best quality base suffered the most *merely, and of the fine hope grown this year in Eugland, bf far the greater proportion come from the Weald of Kent and Sussex. More than once during the summer there were marked signs of improvement is several districts, but these hopes were disapponited ; blight followed up the new shoots, and weather of the most nogenial character told against every effort of the already weakened bine. The result is that the duty is estimated at ouls' 40,0001., and whether or not that amount is exceeded no material difference can, from that cause, accrue Ito the value of bops. With malt at a high price, and English hops so lamentable a failure. the future might be regarded by brewers with apprehension but for one or two important considerations. The first we reckon to be the fact, that at the present moment there must remain unconsumed and available for all ordinary beers ' • stock of old hops, of ages dating from 1854 to 1851, equal to not less than about 375,0001. duty, or more than eighteen months' consumption, rendering the high prices which existed for a short time in 1854.5 no argument what ever for similar rates this season, because 1854 was preceded by five years with an average growth per annum of only 182,0001., and few good Old haps were left on hand, whereas the average growth of the last five years has been 295,790/. duty. Another most important alleviation for brewers is the well-timed reduction of the Customs duty on foreign imps from 45e. to 210 s. per cwt., to take effect on let January next, which we trust will be followed at no very distant period by the abolition of all duties upon either homes-grown or imported hops. We believe this to be the course of events, and that it will be not more advan tageous to the consumer than to the producer of all good hops. The crop this season is very limited in Bohemia and some other parts of Europe, but in several important dis tricts the quantity grown is quite equal to their average produce. In years of great abundance the crop on the Continent is so much in excess of the demand for home con eumption, that in 1847 floe sew Bavarian hops were selling at 10s. per cwt. Foreign hop markets are for the moment greatly excited, from the erroneous notion that brewers here most forthwith purchase new hops, but we shall, without doubt, receive considerable consignments of European hope directly . pr have found a reasonable level. The crop iu lane ica abundant, and the quality greatly improved since 1854,04 that very large shipments will be made to this country both of new and yearling hops, for their surplus stock of likats is greet and of very film quality. From the ungeniul weather during the summer, the consumption of beer has been lessened, sod brewers of pals ale and store beers gene rally hold larger stocksthanisusual. We believe that brewers sass; have fair stocks of 1859 hops. If, therefore, they will avail themselves of the good brewing properties of sound well kept old hope, now offering in great quantities at moderate priced, and will not too eagerly purchase either English or foreign hope of 1800 growth, we feel convinced that they will out manuhicture their beers undue the great disadvantages which the fears of some, Yid the interest of others, would lead them to expect. READING Hor FAIR. —Yesterday this fair com menced in the Corn Exchange, and the building was littad up with stands, in an exceedingly convenient manner for the purpose, under the direction of the corpoiatiou, to whom the niausgenient of the fair had recently been traps tarred by its promoters. The attendance of factorsal growers was pretty good considering the dulness of the' mown, but many of the stands were unoccupied. About' 100 pockets cone to hand, and a large quantity was repre sented by sample. There was very little business doing. 221. per cwt. was asked far this year's oeuutry and Wt. was refused. The trade to-day will prububly be inure brik. Among the growers were Mr. Hewett, Seale, Mr. Merriman, Lanwrish, Mr. Tarsal, Hartley, Ito. while the factors represented were Mews. Woltou and Cit. Meats. Baker, White, and Morga n , Banger andCw and others. A cheese market was ao held ih the general market in conjunction with the fair, and there was a good quantity exhibited. Sales proceeded but very slowly. Cheddar was nut much inquired after, realising about 78s. per 112 ; Wiltshire sold at 58s. For skim there was scarcely any trade.

A dissipated looking woman between 40 and SO years of age, who gave the name of Harp Ann Parker, a married woman, residing at 2, Leopard's-court, St. Andrew's, was charged with attempting to commit suicide by taking poFromison. the evidence of Police constable WlCay, 234 G, it appeared that on Saturday night he was called to the residence of the prisoner, where he found her apparently suffering from acute pain and foaming at the mouth. He took hor to the hospital, and after the medical men had seen her and applied restoratives she wa, still so bad that she had to be detained there until she was brought to this court. . . The prisoner, in answer to the charge, said that she was sorry for what she had done, but she had been driven to do it through drink and money matters. The husband of the prisoner said his wife wee unfortu nately in the habit of a Saturday night of getting the worse for liquor. He spoke to her ou :iiaturday, when she rushed out, returned with a bottle, drank the contents, and then told him it was poison. If the magistrate would discharge her, he (the husband) would again take her home and look after her. lie was certain that she repented of her rash act. . . . . The magistrate, who said it was very wicked to attempt to take away life, discharged the prisoner. This was another of the fearful results of intemperance and he did hope that this would be a lesson to the defendant foe the future. . . . •--- . The pr isoner, who had been weeping bitterly, then left the court. MANSION HOUSE. The young Frenchman, Louie Dotsile, who WILII examined on Monday upon a charge of having weed u number of counterfeit crown-pieces to cabmen, was brought before Sir ft. W. Outten for further examination. The solicitor to the Mint was unable to attend, but he sent notice to the effect that the evidence was complete, and he thought it a proper case to prosecute. Sir R. Carden inquired whether there were any other owes against the primmer? Inspector Witham, of the F division, who produced some of the counterfeit coins, said he believed there were a great many other cabmen who had been defrauded in a similar manner, but in most of the cases the coins bad been destroyed. The evidence in the three charges that had already been investigated wan then read over to the prisoner in French, by Minchell, one of the o ffi cers of the Mansiun- house, and he was told that he would be committed to .I , :enute to take his trial. . . Just as he was about to be removed another cabman rushed up to the wituees.bos, and said that the prisoner had done - him alao out of 4s. Mr. Goodman told him be was just in time, and he would take his evidence in sup port of a fourth indictment. Chute* Hammond, r..he cab-driver in question, was then sworn, and he stated that on Sunday night, the 2:3rd of September, the prisoner hailed him in the Waterloo-road, and told him in broken English that he wanted to be driven to Astley's Theatre, and asked him what the fare was, and he replied a shilling. The prisoner then took out • five shilling piece and handed it to him, and ho gave him back four shillings. He then drove the prisoner to near the theatre, and he told him to drive down Staugate, when he heard the door of his cab grate walnut the wheel, and on looking round he saw that it was open, and that the pri soner bad bolted. He then drove up to a lamp-post, and looked at the live shilling piece, and discovered that it was a bud one. He added that the affair was all done in the dark. Sir R. Carden said no doubt it was. (A laugh.) The prisoner was then fully committed W take Lis trial upon the whole of the charges. MARLBOROUGH-STREET, Richard Nor;;;;,V0,;;Inii;of fa t.3lartin'it Work house, was char,* with cutting with a table-knife a boy named Joseph Anderson, also an inmate of the workhouse. Michael &moan, porter of Cie workhouse, said that about seven the previous evening he saw the boy Anderson come across the yard bleeding from his neck. He asked who hail doge it, and was told the prisoner. He at once, us the board was sitting, took the prisoner before it ; and they ordered him to be given into custody. The prisoner only said the boy had taken a piece of breed off the tablewhere he was sitting. (Brannan produced a table knife.) Joseph Anderson (the boy) said that while having supper the prisoner asked him to have a piece of bead and butter, and as soon as he took it from the table the prisoner seised up the table knife produced and threw it at him, and it stuck in his neck. . . Mr. James Darnett, the master of the house, said he took the bo► to the surgeon, who attended to him, and although, as the boy was very healthy, there was no danger, still the surgeon had idornied him that the wound, had it extended a little further, would have caused the death of the boy. The boy was a very good buy, and the prisoner had been convicted before Mr. liingbain at this court for an usmult on a men in December last with a poker, when he was com mitted for a month with bard labour. . . Mr. Mansfield , observing that the prisoner was a stout, muscular-looking fellow, asked why he was in the house. Mr. Barnett said the prisoner came to the house, said be was destitute, and they were obliged to admit him. Mr. Mansfield said there was nu proof of his destitution, and again asked why he was in the house. He was not a cripple or incapable of working. Mr. Barnett said he was sorry to say there were a good many able-bodied in the house, and they were obliged to admit them, or they would come to that court corn. pLtining. Mr. Mansfield said the prisoner was well able to earn his own liviug ; and simply ou his saying he was destitute' be was admitted. In the part of the country be was con nected with there were none admitted to the house but the aged, cripples, and children, who were destitute. Hu should sentenee the prisoner to pay a fine of 4k., or two mouths' imprisonment with hard labour. SOUTHWARK. Robert Barnes, a tall, portly-looking, well-dressed middle med man, was charged with defrauding Richard Wood out of 10t. by skittle 'harping. From the evidence of Dennis Scannell, 177 If, an active detective officer, it appeared that about six o'clock on tbe pre vious evening he saw the prisoner and two others, all well known " magsnien" and " nobblers," and the prosecutor enter a public-house in Queen-street ; and some time afterwards the prosecutor came out, and went up Queen stiset. Witness remained about fur two or three minutes, and then the prisoner came out, and at the mane time he saw the prosecutor returning. Witness, understanding that something wrong had been going on, stopped the prisoner, when the prosecutor +aid that he bad lost 10/. on the skittle-grormil, and had just pledged his watch for Rt. more for the purpose of placing it in another man's hand to get his 10/. back again. He (Scannell) at once found that the prosecutor had been done by skittle sharps, and took the prisoner into custody. On him be found some " iioll money and ten sovereigns in Australian gold. The latter the prosecutor had paid him, with five English:sovereigns, which were also found. as him Mr. Combo asked whether the prosecutor was in court. Scannell replied in the negative. He understood that the prisoner's empanions had got hold of him that morning and had restored all his money to him. It appeared that the prosecutor met two men at the railway terminus in the first instance, and accompanied them to the public-house in question to partake of a glass of ale, and then the skittles were introduced. He (Scannell) was well acquainted with the prisoner as a notorious " nobbler" and " skittle Mr. Mr. Combo said that as there was no prosecutor in at. tendanoe the prisoner must be discharged.

The suspension of a Greek - house—that of Messrs. Bo6ano, Brothers, and Co., has rather taken the trade by surprise. Their liabilities are generally reported at 70,0001. to 100,0001. ; but some estimates say less.
