GERMANY. The Berlin Ministerial journal of the 4th inst. publishes the provisions of the Treaty of Commerce and Navigation between Prussia and Holland, the conclusion of which was some time since announced. The chief points gained by Prussia are a reduction of the tolls levied on the Lower Rhine and its navigable tributaries. The droit fix on the Lower Rhine, and all the duties on the Mass and Yssel, are abolished. The pilot dues in Holland are reduced one-half ; for the transit through Holland and to Belgium the reduced rate of tolls, after the abolition of the droit fire, will alone be levied. Prussia assures to Holland a continuance of the advantages it had obtained by former treaties. Traffic will be facilitated by the loss of time in unloading and weighing goods being no longer necessary. The transit cargoes will be sealed and accompanied by a Custom-house official. Holland and the Zollverein accord each other, for their respective produce, the advantages allowed, or that may be allowed, by them to the most favoured nations with whom they have commercial treaties. Thus the wines of the Zollverein will be admitted into Holland on the same terms as those of France. A variety of articles of German manufacture are al lowed to be exported to the Dutch East Indian pos sessions on the most f.ivourable terms of the colonial tariff, or at about half the general rates; among them are woods, drugs, soap, Nuremberg toys, electro plated goods, watches from the Black Forest, leather, fancy goods, silks, velvets, and mineral waters. SIR JOHN FRANKLIN'S E XPEDI TION AND LIEUTENANT PIM. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TINES. Sir,—Although I hare during the last fortnight re ceived letters from Lieutenant Pim, dated St. Peters burgh, informing me that he had been most kindly re ceived by all the Russian authorities to whom ho had been addressed, and that he had been most zealously aided by her Majesty's Minister, Sir Hamilton Sey mour, I desisted from alluding to a subject in which many of your readers are deeply interested until some decisive step had been taken in respect to the bold pro posal of the young British officer. His object was to traverse Siberia to its north-eastern extremity, and thence to endeavour to reach the mountainous lands far to the north of Behring's Strait, beyond which it was conjectured that Franklin and his companions might be frozen up. Lieutenant Pim had already informed me that the Russian geographers, and particularly the explorers of Northern Siberia, with whom he had been put into communication, were opposed to a plan which, from their experience and acquaintance with the condition of the regions to be travel led over, they looked upon as impracticable ; but that he still hoped to overcome all objections, and to have it in his power to risk his Life in the good cause. I have now, however, received distinct information through his Excellency Baron de Brunnow, that the Imperial Government, after having taken the most lively interest in this as in every former effort to rescue the missing expedition, had satisfied itself, on the unanimous report of the persons who had most studied the subject, that the execution of the plan which the noble and courageous devotion of Lieutenant Pim had led him to concei►e, was opposed by insurmountable obstacles. Under these circumstances, the Emperor could not con sent to allow the life of a British officer to be perilled in vain; but that still, being desirous of doing everything which might be possible, the Imperial Government had placed our countryman ha communication with M. Baer and M. Middendorf—the one the explorer of Nova Zembla, the other of Northern and Eastern Siberia—in the hope that by some other plan additional chances might be obtained of procuring the desired tidings. It is well known that the Imperial Government has all along facilitated by every exertion in its power our efforts to obtain such tidings, whether in its Asiatic or American Arctic possessions; and all the British officers who have served in Behring's Strait can testify to the friendly co-operation of the Russian authorities in those desolate regions. However much then, we may regret that the plan of reaching the unknown lands to the north of Behrings Strait by an expedition across Siberia must be given up, for reasons which will be fully explained at the next meeting of the Geo graphical Society, we must not abandon the hopeful idea that the Franklin expedition may have entered Wellington Channel, and may have worked its way to the westward, and that by carrying out some scheme based on the principle of meeting our missing naviga tors we may still succeed in rescuing them. It was this feeling, founded on a true estimate of the noble and ' resolute character of my friend, Sir John Franklin, which induced the gallant young Pim to propound his adventurous scheme. It is on the same principle of meeting Franklin that another project has been started, in the most generous manner, by Mr. Beatson, which I shall bring before the Royal Geographical Society at its next meeting, and by which it is proposed to attain the same end by penetrating to the north of Behring's Strait in a small screw steamer. Let us, therefore, trust that, in addition to any well concerted scheme devised by our Admiralty for following in the track of Franklin, other means may be devised, through the co-operation of England and Russia, by which the intense anxiety that is felt may be set at rest. Above all, let us put away despondency until ev e ry possible means shall have been exhausted. Let us cling to the hope that, as five out of six Russian seamen were rescued providentially and brought back alive and well to Archangel, after passing upwards of six years in the frozen Arctic region of Spitzbergen (where they ob tained abundance of animal food), we may yet see a portion, at least, of our gallant missing crews return, even though the supplies they carried out with them from this country may have been long ago exhausted. I am, sir, your very obedient servant, RODERICK I. MURCHISON. P.S. A philanthropical friend of mine brought the above mentioned anecdote of the five Russian seamen into the notice of the public last autumn in some number cf the Morning Chronicle, to which I have here no ac cess; but the facts are given in minute detail in the Annual Register of 1774. Bourne-mouth, Jan. 4. METROPOLITAN OMNIBUS SERVANTS. A meeting was held on Monday at the Infant School-room, Paddington -green, " to consider the means necessary for the improvement of the mental, religious, and physical condition of the omnibus servants of the metropolis." There was a crowded attendance. The Rev. M. A. CAMPBELL, vicar of Paddington, presided, and briefly stated the object of the meeting. He regarded the question of the omnibus servants as part of a much greater question—the better observ ance of the Sabbath. It was only by bringing public opinion to bear on the matter that an alteration could be effected. Two omnibus proprietors had that morn ing called upon him, aral expressed their readiness to co-operate in the object of this meeting, and no doubt many others would be ready to do the same.— (Cheers.) The provident fund which has been esta blished in connexion with this movement could only be efficiently supported by co-operating with the employers. The object of this fund was to grant pecuniary assistance, with medical attendance and medicines, to the sick, and to assist the widows of members ; the erectio n of an asylum for the aged and feeble, and the establishment of a school for the children of members. Towards this association a fund of 1,500/. was already raised.—(Hear, hear.) The Hon. A. KINNAIRD moved, " That this meet ing believes it to be in accordance with the acknow ledged principles of the Christian religion, no less than of justice and humanity, that no class of men should be employed in ordinary labour to such an extent as to be deprived of the opportunity of aereligious instruc tion and rest for body and mind."expresseda thisl. s g effected other confident belief that public opinion would boon for the omnibus servants, as it h a d a l ready other social and political reforms. He had not the slightest hostility to any of the proprietors, and be lieved that they would generally co-operate in the movement. At present the omnibus servants were employed for 13 or 14 hours a day, with but 15 or 20 minutes for dinner, subject to reduction for loss o f time in their journeys. One man stated that he had driven seven years on the Paddington line, and never had more than one Sunday to himself in the course of a twelvemonth. He had 45 minutes for his meals, but could not get them at home. He commenced work at eight in the morning, and left off at eleven at night. He would g l adly go to a place of worship if he could. Another stated—" I have been a driver for fourteen years. Seldom can get to apiece of worship. I have sometimes asked mas t er f o r a day's rest on a Sunday, but his reply has always been Rest when you are dead. My wife is a religious woman, and it is a sad trouble to her that I can never go w ith her to church." A third—" I leave home for the stables at half -past seven, and I never see m y own door again until twelve at night. Week days and Sundays are all alike to me. I get two or three Sundays in the course of a year, but I have to sacrifice my wages and employ a sub stitute." A fourth—" I am time-keeper at My day's work commences at nine in the morning, and finishes at ten at night. I have no leisure for meals, but have to get them a 3 I stand i n t h e street. I never ha v e a Sunday's rest." A fifth—" lam on the Islington 'road. I have one Sunday in every five, but am generally so worn ou t that I am glad to spend most of that day i n bed. I should rejoice to have every Sunday to myself , and would willingly sacrifice my day's wages for this purpose. I was once a Sabbath school scholar, and know that I ought not to work on the Sabbath, but what am Ito do ? I have no other em ployment to go t o , an d my w if e an d family mus t not starve." Some people supposed that this was a healthful occupation. The reverse was the case. The men were much subject to bronchial affections, from their constant exposure to the weather, and these frequently led premature death. Th ere was no t d o o c u o b n t 'su th m a p t, ti b o y a aanrd rangemmt amongst themselves, the proprietors might secure not only the convenienc e of the public but the spiritual and temporal welfare of their men.--(Hear, hear.) He rejoiced to be able to state that on the Holloway and Islington line the men h ad been re th lie e ved from . about (Cheers) y or twenty-t wo journey s on Sunday. Mr. EDMUNDS, an omnibus proprietor, of Pad ',dington, said that there had been no alteration whate ve r on the line referred to, Th e gatemen; i ~~~ c.. s THE SIIN, about their beginning at eight o'clock in the morn ing was an exaggeration ; he did not believe that the men worked on the average more than twelve hours. The proprietors had been very anxious to assist the provident society, and had subscribed about 1001. towards it ; but they were much dissatisfied with the way in which it was conducted. As regarded the Sabbath, there was no doubt some arrangement might be made; but he doubted whether it was possible to get the men to rest on the Sunday. The wages were paid out of the driving money, and varied from 2s. 3d. to 2s. 6d. per day. Mr. GRAY, another proprietor, denied that the men were ill-paid or ill-used, though they might be hard worked. No class of men had less to do with their masters than the omnibus drivers. Their wages were high in comparison with those of the servants of other tradesmen ; and they could afford to take a .day's rest at the cost of a day's wages. H. himself had never had an entire day's rest since he was fifteen years of age; but he knew how essential it was, and let the men take it.—(A voice, " They must pay for it.") Yes, they could afford it well enough ; he knew that on one road they had been ma ki n g three guineas a week in the summer. The Rev. G. FISK, in seconding the resolution, said he had met with several cases in his pastoral charge of omnibus servants who suffdred extremely from their necessarily irregular hours and habits, which destroyed digestion and impaired the whole system. He deprecated any angry feelings, and trusted they would have the co-operation of the proprietors generally. The Rev. Dr. BURNS thought it would have been better if the clergy of the district had first had an in terview with the omnibus proprietors. He believed no one could deny that the drivers and stablemen worked on the average fifteen hours a day. He knew that some of them had not more than six or seven minutes for dinner, and not above half an hour in the whole day. But the most serious part of the case was that their duties were quite as heavy on the Sun day as on any other day, and with the stablemen more so.—(Hear.) Altogether there were 11,000 of these persons. Mr. EDMUNDS—No, no. Four thousand is the outside. That is one of the misrepresentations we complain of. Dr. BURNS contended that the principle was the same, whatever the numbers might be. The men ought at least to be treated as well as the horses they drove.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. J. SCULLY, the secretaay of the association, said he could positively state that since the last meeting at Islington, at least twenty of Mrs. Wilson's omnibuses, the " Favorites," rested on the Sunday, thus setting at liberty more than sixty men. Mr. EDMUNDS persisted that there had been no re cent alteration. Wilson's omnibuses had never run the whole of the Sunday ; and some of the Paddington omnibuses did the same. Mr. SCULLY said that did not alter the fact as to the others. Notwithstanding Mr. Edmunds' state ment about the number of men being only 4,000, he knew that there were between 9,000 and 10,000 licensed men on the books at Scotland-yard.—(Hear.) The resolutio❑ was then put and agreed to. Sir HARRY GORING, Bart., expressed a hope that not only all the omnibuses, but gentlemen's carriages, would be stopped from running on the Sunday. The Rev. Mr. Molineux and other speakers fol lowed, and the proceedings closed with a vote of thanks to the Reverend Chairman. REPUBLICANISM IN EUROPE. (From the New York Herald.) The movement of Louis Napoleon is merely a continuation of the spirit of reaction on a larger scale —a reaction produced in France and generated in Europe by the ignorance, folly, violence, and want of skill in the originators and promoters of the various revolutions of 1848. Throughout the Conti nen t So cialism, irreligion, violence, and folly, which marked the revolutions of 1848 and 1849, have ruined the cause of well-regulated liberty all over Europe, for at least some years to come. Louis Napoleon has, no doubt, violated the constitution and the laws of France in his coup d'etat; but all revolutions a re vio lations of existing laws and constitutions, and he may assume the same ground of necessity and expediency for the course he has pursued, as Ledru Rollin and Lamartine did when they assumed, without authority or warrant, the supreme government of France, which they held but a few short months, in consequence of their want of talent and fitness for their purposes. Republicanism in France and Europe, for some years to come, has been ruined by the ignorance and inefficiency of such men as Lamartine and Ledru Rollin, who did not know how to conduct the great movement when they had it entirely under their con troul, and in their own hands. Yet we do not alto gether despair of France or Europe for all time to come. They must run another cycle of ten or fifteen years under imperial rule, or what will be the next thing to it, before another generation can be taught talent, religion, intelligence, and morality, capable of carrying true Republican government into operation. With all the intelligence and philosophy possessed by France, the people of that country seem to be, from their previous habits and religious notions of a thousand years, unfit for Republican government conducted on the plan of checks and balances, as we understand it in the United States, or as it is under stood even in England and other Protestant countries. None of the southern countries of Europe—Spain, France, Italy, Austria, nor even Hungary, can be capable, for a long time to come, of establishing Re publican self-government on the principle of checks and balances—freedom of the press and of thought— as we enjoy it in this country, or even as it exists in England. If a republic were established in England and in the countries of the north of Europe to morrow—in Holland, Prussia, Denmark, and Sweden —the people of these countries, from the habits of thought and self -refl ec ti on w hi c h t h e Protestant re ligion gives them, would be at once capable of self government, as they have shown themselves to be capable of self-intelligence a n d se lf - d ependence in the concerns of religion. A HAT STEALER. A man, named Belloie, was on Saturday, taken before the Tribunal of Correctional Police for stealing a bat. " Really," he whined, th e moment he was placed at the bar, " it is enough to make me shed every tear I have, to ®ea myself between two gendarmes for having made a mistake about a hat!" " A mistake !" said the President, " that remains to be seen." "It was an error, impartial President, a simple error, and I submit it to your equitable justice and your lofty wisdom." A stout gentleman deposed that, when he was playing at dominoes at a café on the 29th Nov., the prisoner walked off with his hat; and he said that he could not have mistaken it for his own as he car ried it in his hand. " That was because I was too hot!" " Too hot on the 29th Nov.! No—but the real reason was that it was too big for you."—" I was tormented with domestic anxiety," said the prisoner, " and took the hat without knowing what I did."—" Bat it seems that you are a regular hat stealer, as not fswer than forty-seven bats were found at your lodgings!"—"That proves, President, that I had no need to take the hat of this gentleman. And the fact is that those hats were not stolen, but were purchased by me. I have a passion for hats, as other people have for horses, or other things. But a friend of mine, who formerly lent me money, is now ready to lend me his oath, to prove to you that he has confidence in me, and that will satisfy you that I cou ldn't have stolen the hat." The witness swore character of the accused, but th e condemned him to thirteen month s ' imprisonment.—Galignani. s tr o i l b e u m n n a l l, y nevertheless, to the good SEABORNE MAILS. gignifies that the mails are sent from the General Post-efilee by the alght—and M by the morning—dispatch.] When made up in/ From what When PLACZ3. , General Post-offieei port dis due.

THE CARD•CHEATING CASE AT BRIGHTON. THE QUEEN V. BROOME AND OTHERS. In this case, yesterday, an application had been made for leave to change Mr. Dunn for Mr. Sill, as the attorney for the prosecutor, Mr. Wm. Hamp, which was adjourned for the production of affidavits, it being alleged that Mr. Hamp had not authorized the application, but that a collusion had been got up be tween the defendants to induce the prosecutor to sign an authority to Mr. Dunn to act as his attorney, with a view to defeat the prosecution, he being, in fact, the attorney of Broome. Mr. SILL now applied for a further adjournment on the ground that the copies of the affidavits in support of the application were not left at his office until after six o'clock on Saturday evening. On Tuesday morn ing, at nine o'clock, he was compelled to leave London for Brighton, for the purpose of snaking an applica tion to the magistrates to change the prosecutor. That application was made and granted; and he pro duced a certificate, dated yesterday, signed by Mr. Chester Carpenter, the clerk to the magistrates, stating that Thomas Hay ter Chase, of 37, East street, Brighton, chief offi ce r of police, had been bound over in the sum of 5001. to appear, prosecute, an d give evidence against John Broome, Charles Staden, and John James, for the misdemeanour.

Mr. Mutsu said the original application had been adjourned merely for the purpose of his producing affidavits in support of the retainer, the letter of Mr. Hemp being denied.

It would appear that there was some desire for collusion on the part of Mr. Sill himself; as be would show that Mr. Sill had received 251. from Broom e , 151. from James, and 8 01 , from the prosecutor. Mr. justice ERLE—That is not in the affidavits ; and I think it had better not be. All I have to do is to consider whether Mr. Sill is entitled to an adjourn ment to answer the affidavits or not.

This was an appeal by Samuel Davis, a salesman in Covent-garden Market, against an order made at the Bow-street Police -court, adjuding him to be the putative father of an illegitimate child of Jessie Ann Addison. Mr. Parry appeared for the appellant, Mr. Payne for the respondent. It appeared that on the 30th of March, 1847, the respondent was delivered of a child, of which she stated the appellant was the father. They lived to gether afterwards, and he continued to allow her a sum weekly for the support of the child down to September, 1851. There was abundant corroborative evidence as to the paternity, but a question of consi derable importance arose as to whether, under the 2d section of the 7th and Bth Viet., c. 101, it was not absolutely requisite that there should be evidence to corroborate the assertion of the mother, that the ap pellant had paid money for the child within twelve months after its birth, the summons not being taken out within that period. The Learned JUDGE, after hearing Mr. Parry and without calling on Mr. Payne on the other side, held that the intention of the Act was not that there should be corroborative evidence of the payment of the mo ney within the twelve months in cases where the order was not applied for until after the expiration of that period, and where, as in the present case, there was ample evidence corroborative of the assertion that the appellant was the father of the child ; and he should therefore confirm the order. Order confirmed, with V. costs. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD 00 - R7 , (Before Mr. Baron PLA T T and Lusts.) ..

AL A t- t • f 0 defendant I _ _ 1 Ala PPou 6 ' ----- - --.- = - JANUARY B, 1852. the young men were committed to take their trial at the Westminster Sessions for the misdemeanour, but the grand jury ignored the bill against them, and a charge of perjury was then preferred against both the censtables. Ernest Francatelli andjThomas Welby Adam, the two young men who had been taken into custody upon the charge referred to, were then examined as witnesses, and they swore most positively that there was no foundation for the statement that they had either of them touched any lady's pocket with a felo nious intention. They also denied that anything was passed from one to the other at the spot referred to by the officers. Upon being cross-examined, it appeared that they had partaken of gin -and -water at a public-house out side the theatre, and also smoked a cigar each, and that they likewise had some cold brandy-and-water inside. They also said that the promenade was very crowded, and that they might possibly have touched the persons of some of the females they passed by ; but they declared that it was done acci dentally and without any improper intention. They likewise admitted that it was true, as stated by the officers, that Francatelli told Adam to push him as they were leaving the theatre, and that he replied, " All right," or "Go along, Robert." This was ac counted for by stating that some young men who were before them were pushing back as if to stop the people from getting out; and Adam said that the reason he called Francatelli "Robert" was merely for a lark, and he could give no other reason. Franca telli accounted for the possession of a very formidable instrument in the shape of a flexible stick, heavily laden with lead at one end, by stating that he merely brought it from the Coventry Cluo, where his father was cook, on the night in question, by accident, and that it did not belong to him. Mr. BALLANTINE, for the defence, expressed his opinion that the prosecution ought never to have been instituted, and that the parties ought to have been satisfied with the decision of the grand jury. He was not instructed to impute to these young men that they were really guilty of the offence with which they were charged ; but, on the part of an officer of good character, against whom no complaint had ever before been made, he felt him self called upon to state that the manner in which they bad conducted themselves on the night in question was such as entirely justified the officers in the course they had pursued in taking them into custody, and making the charge they did against them. The very circumstance of a person being seen with a formidable weapon like the one that had been produced, and which evidently could not be required for the ordi nary purposes of a stick or cane, but which was just such a weapon as was frequently made use of by the most desperate characters, was in itself sufficient to create suspicions in the minds of the officers, and he said that the subsequent proceedings of the parties very naturally increased that suspicion, and led to the charge being preferred. The Learned Counsel concluded by stating that while he admitted that there was no real foundation for the charge that had been made against these young men, he thought they ought to have been satisfied when the bill against them was ignored by the grand jury, no doubt from a belief that persons in their respectable position could not have been guilty of such a❑ offence, and that a sound discretion had not been exercised in bringing the matter here, as there did not appear to be the slightest pretence for imputing wilful and cor rupt perjury to the officers who had made the charge against them. Mr. Lund, the superintendent of the P division of police to which the defendant belonged, Sergeant Quinnear, of the same division, Inspector Wilkinson, Inspector Coward, and several other witnesses, gave the defendant an excellent character. He had been twelve years in the police, and was considered an in telligent, able officer, and had been on that account selected to do duty in plain clothes. Mr. Baron PLATT, in summing up, told the jury that it was not sufficient to support a charge of per jury that the person accused should be proved merely to have sworn to that which was not true, but it must be shown also that at the time he made the false statement upon his oath be well knew that statement to be false. The Learned Judge then called the at tention of the jury to all the facts of the case, and said that if they were of opinion that the defendant had made a mistake as to the identity of the parties, or that he had reason to suppose that he was speak ing the truth when he gave the evidence in support of the charge, he was entitled to be acquitted. The jury almost immediately returned a verdict of Not Guilty. Henry Atwood, the other constable was then ar raigned upon the same charge. Mr. PARRY said that after the decision the jury had come to in the case of the last defendant he should not have gone on with this indictment, but as it ap peared to him that there were some points in the evi dence given by Atwood which altered the aspect of his case, he felt that he was justified in doing so. He then called a witness who, according to counsel's instructions, could have proved some expressions that were made use of by the defendant after the parties were in custody, but upon his being examined he failed entirely in proving the facts that were sug gested. _ _ Mr. PARRY upon this said he felt the only course he could take was to withdraw from the prosecution. He added, that the only object of the parents of the parties was to have the matter fully investigated, and that their sons might have an opportunity of stating upon their oath that there was no foundation for the charge that was made against them, the effect of such an accusation being made . against a 3 o ung m an fre quently being to cast a stigma upon him for the re mainder of his life. Baron PLATT said there did not appear to be any foundation for the supposition that the young men were actuated by any guilty intention while they were in the theatre, and they had a right to the ex pression of this opinion both from the Court and the jury._ The jury then returned a verdict of Not Guilty, adding that they believed the witnesses Francatelli and Adam were perfectly innocent of the charge that was made against them. conduct himself in such an unjustifiable way. It would be a monstrous thing if a person who had taken aselt in a theatre, and who was obliged from some cause to leave it for a short time, was to be ue prised of it in the way adopted by the defendant, and Ithen, when claimi ng hi s r i g ht , to b e assau lt e d. I t was the duty of the defendant to obey persons in autho rity, such as was the boxkeeper of a theatre, and not to commit an assault upon him.—Fined 403. A gentleman, named Duval, was charged with having assaulted Richard Ouch waite, messenger at the Legal and Medical Life Assurance Company. Complainant said he was passing through Dean street with his wife and sister about 10 o'clock on the previous night. He saw the defendant in conver sation with some person. He was just about to pass when the defendant lifted his stick, and struck him two violent blows on the head, and knocked him down. The defendant, who was an entire stranger, said nothing whatever to him. The explanation of the defendant proved that the assault had been committed under a mistake. His friend and himself had been followed by a comb seller, and in order to get rid of the importunity of the man he pushed him away. The man charged him with breaking his combs, and having created a mob he was assaulted, and he then acted in self defence. A gentleman named Webb, who was with the de fendant, said the comb seller charged him with steal ing his combs, and having thus got a crowd about him and the defendant, some one in the crowd struck him, upon which the defendant certainly did use his stick. Mr. BINGHAM thought that after making every allowance for the circumstances in which the accused had been placed, be had flourished his stick, and con ducted his defence without sufficient discrimination ; and as the weapon had fallen with such serious effect on the head of an innocent person, a fine of 403. must be imposed for the assault. MARYLEBONE. John Crawley, a pugilist, who has latterly obtained a livelihood by exhibiting the art of self-defence at fairs, races, &c., was brought up for re-examination, charged with having robbed and in a most brutal manner assaulted Henry Sperling, a fellow lodger, at No. 1, Henrietta -street, Manchester-square. The evidence showed that as complainant was sit ting quietly by the fire in his room the prisoner who was drunk entered therein, and without saying a word to him kicked him and knocked him down by a tre mendous blow upon the head ; while he (complainant) was lying upon the floor, prisoner stole from him three sixpences, and before he had time to regain his legs seized him by the nose so firmly with his teeth as to nearly bite it through ; another person, who was pre sent, rushed forwari to his assistance, and by thrott ling the prisoner succeeded in dragging him away and giving him into custody of police-constable Phillips, 111 D. The prisoner in answer to the charge said that he was first attacked by the complainant after they had had a few angry words together. It was stated that the prisoner was a very desperate character, and had frequently been charged with vio lent outrages on the police, in addition to which he was once in custody fur knocking down a gentleman in Oxford-street. Mr. BROUGHTON did not consider that the allega tion of roblyry had been clearly established, but for the savave attack upon complainant he fined the pri soner 51. or two ►OOntha in the House of Correction.
