MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.-Agq. 17. (Before Mr. Bodkin and a Bench of Magistrates at the Guildhall, Westminster.) FyillianL Faulkner, jeweller, carrying on busine,s in Lisson-grove, and Crawford-street, convicted on Thurs day of feloniously receiving stolen 'watches and other property, was placed at the bar to receive judgment. Mr. Bodkin sentenced him to two years' hard labour, and hoped that the prisoner's fate would operate as a warning to others. Henry Walker, 24, was indicted for stealing a purse and the sum of 21. from the person of Lucy Bishop. The case was clearly proved, and the jury found the prisoner guilty. The prisoner was one of the most notorious thieves of the metropolis. He had been convicted of various offences 10 times, and in 1845 he was sentenced at this court to be transported for 10 years. He was then sent to Parkhurst, and liberated after about two years' con finement. Mr. Bodkin sentenced him to be kept in penal ser vitude for four years. Robert Collins, 20, Edward Free, 29, and John Green, tio, were indicted for stealing an inkstead and time piece,a,i the property of Henriquso Calyacanti )'Albu querque, b u querque, from his residence, South Bank, Regent' s- park. Collins pleaded guilty. After the evidence had been given, the jury found the prisoner guilty, and previous convictions were proved against b Free and Green. They had only een out o f prison a few days when this robbery was committed. Mr. Parry said he was instructed, on the part of g Collins, who had, pleaded guilty, a n d aud ther prisoners, to without wishing t o aggravate the case of the- - t - that they had led Collins . into matter, and that sa y he had been their victim. Nothing was known detriment a l to his character. The prisoner Green—There, my lord ; that's just w h a t I thought. I ex pected they make it out that h e h a d been led into it ; but he want's no leading, I can tell you. at re _ e can go ver y well of his own acco r d. (L aughter.) He wants no more leading than I do; but I knew they'd make it out that he was led into it. Mr. Bodkin sentenced Collins to six months' hard labour, and Free and Green each to four years' penal ser vitude. Green, with a good deal of earnestness, begged that his sentence might be transportation for 15 or 10 years! He said he should be as great a thief as ever when he had sewed the four years. He would be set loose among his old oompar/ions, all thieves, with no means of living but thieving. He should be. known and marked, and in prison again almost as soon as he was let out. If his lordship would send him for 15 years he should be sent out of the country altogether, and he hoped he would pass that sentence on him, for so long as he was in Eng land he should be nothing but a thief. Mr. Bodkin said he had not the power to comply with such a request, and if he had he should hesitate to exer cise it at the request of a prisoner ; but he felt so fully the force of some part of what the prisoner had urged, that if he had the power, he certainly should have taken into consideration the propriety of passing such a sen tence upon him. The prisoners were then removed, and on the way to thweell Free knocked his fellow-prisoner Collins down for having pleaded t uilty. Dennis Daley; 18, was indicted for having unlawfully assaulted and attempted to stab Francis Leverett, a pelice-constable, in the execution of his duty. On the night of Saturday, the 11th inst., the prisoner wise detected in the act of picking the pocket of a female in .Hampstead-road, and the prosecutor took him in charge. He proceeded quietly a short distance toward the station, but at the corner of Henry -street he made a stop, declared his innocence, and refused to go any further. A struggle took place, and a large mob col leeted, whose sympathies were all on the side of the pri soner. The policeman called on a pork butcher, named Somers, to assist him, and both he and the policeman were knocked down and kicked. At length the prisoner was got into Somers's shop, when he seized a knife, and the prosecutor, in endeavouring to wrest it from him, sus tained a cut in the hand. Mrs. Somers then interfered, and succeeded in getting the knife from him. He then took up another knife and made a plunge at his breast with it, the point actually penetrating his coat, and had not Mrs. Homers at that moment laid hold of his arm, there could be little doubt that the knife would have been plunged into ,his chest. The prosecutor then got the prisoner outside, and was attacked by the mob ; but other constables came up and the prisoner was carried off without any further interference on the part of the mob, who, however, threatened to pall the front of the butcher's shop out, and they actually did pull the meat down, broke the dishes, and carried some of the meat a way. Mr. Bodkin told the jury that he thought the case failed as to the principal count of the indictment, but clearly it was a case of aggravated assault upon the officer in the discharge of his duty. It certainly was to he regretted that a mob of people could be found to aid and assist in such an attack upon an officer, and to threaten to demolish the shop front of a tradesman who interfered to protect him ; and it was a pity some of them were not indicted. The jury found the prisoner guilty of an aggravated assault. Mr. Bodkin sentenced him to one year's hard labour, and ordered 51, to be paid out of the county or Treasury to Mrs. Somers for her meritorious conduct in disarming the, prisoner of the knives, and in consideration of the loss her husband sustained. Edward Broadfoot, barman, who pleaded guilty on Thursday of robbing his master, was brought up and sen tenced to three months' hard labour. James Nash, 34, George Willing's, 30, and G';orge Wilson, 26, were indicted for stealing two chests and five boxes of tea, value 551., the property of Henry Statham and another, the masters of Willings. Wilson pleaded guilty, The prisoner Willings was carman to the prosecutors, who are carriers, and he had assisted the other prisoners to steal goods from his van, which bad been entrusted to him for delivery. The prisoner Wilson was called as a witness against the other two. The jury found Willings and Nash guilty. Mr. Bodkin sentenced Willings to two years', and Wilson and Nash each to eighteen months' hard labour. (Before Mr. Witham.) Stephen Allen was indicted for stealing a gravy spoon and other articles, value 101. and upwards, the property of George Dickens, in his dwelling-house. The prosecutor resided at 11, Adelaide-road, St. Pan erae and on the 17th July the prisoner was detected by the housemaid in making off with the plate basket from the kitchen. He managed to get away, but he was pur cued by an engineer at the Zoological Gardens named Chadwick, at whom he struck with a life preserver. He was captured by one of the park-keepers. The jury found him guilty, and former convictions were put in against him. A. retired policeman, named Cutting, - said the prisoner was, above all, the most daring and impudent thief he had ever met with during au experience of seventeen years in the police force. Mr.Withatu sentenced him to d years' penal servitude POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET.—A well-dressed young man, who gave the name of James Brown, was brought before Mr. Henry, charged with obtaining money from several parties by false pretences. It appeared that the prisoner had represented hirnst , lt as a legal practitioner, and in this capacity had beet/ employed to get in outstanding debts for small trades men, who advanced him money for the purposes of pay ing the preliminary fees and expenses. Mr. John Bustin, wheelwright, 26, Little Queen-st., proved that the prisoner obtained Hs. 9d. from him, " on account," haviug undertaken to sue a person for 50s. ; and Air. W. Radbonrne, a coach-builder, residing at King's-cross, deposed to having advanced 2/. 4s. 6d. to the prisoner, from time to time, to enable him to re cover a debt of 61. In the latter case it was proved that the prisoner had at different periods reported the progress he was making in the action, from the issuing of the writ to the alleged trial of the cause at the Croydon Assizes, and he went so far as to exhibit what purported to be a judge's order, signed by Mr. Justice Maule, at chambers. Upon these various pretences the prosecutor advanced the money, and on Thursday afternoon, meeting him accidentally in the street, he asked the prisoner bow the action was getting on ? He replied that he had deceived the pro secutor all along, and now felt bound to confess that he had never commenced any action at all. He expressed his willingness to accompany the prosecutor to the p. dice station in Bow-street, where ho was given into custody. The prisoner made no defence to the charge. He ad mitted the truth of the prosecutor's statements. Mr. Henry—Then you must know that it is a very serious offence to represent yourself as a qualified attor ney, and. obtain money from people under the pretence of conducting actions which you had no power to cow scence. There is a probability of your having defrauded others in the same way, and you must therefore he re manded for a week that the police may ❑sake inquiries about you. --- WORSEII P - STREET.—Ro6ert Dallimoo', an athle tic but quiet-looking man,• having the appearance of a decent mechanic, was charged before Mr. Harnmill with having drug assaulted Mr. Th omas Symond., a chemist and ggist in Napier-street, ITOiton. The complainant, who appeared with both his eyes o s blackened, and exhibited a severe cut across the ne, said—At the urgent request of a friend, who had given a man int custody, I proceeded w i th him last evening to the stat o iou-house, but we were closely followed by a ren ered himself particularly eon disorderly mob of persons,dand subjected ail the waylto insults. The prisoner epicuous, and just as he reached the station he addressed i n such an offensive .., toneo that I demanded me personally he 'night be a what he meant, and added, in ment of irritation, to me, that as he was an entire stranger I knew to the e ticket of leave man for aught ontrary. I had no sooner uttered the words than he hounded " What is that y o u di 4 iti to towards me, and exclaiming, say !" instantly struck me such a terrible blow beikeeti the eyes that I dropped' senseless to the ground. On re covering my facultieu I found myself under the care of the police surgeon at the station-house, where I reamineil nearly an hour before I was sufficiently recovered to re. turn home, and arn still in a state of extreme. suffering, which deprived me of Sleep all night. In answer to the charge, theld e f en d an t e mphatically denied that ho had been in any way connected with the persons who had molested the complainant and his friend, and said that having been attracted by the crowd in front of the station he was passively looking on, when he was grossly insulted by the complainant, who singled him out amongst the bystanders, and publicly stigma tised him as a returned transport. Ile had bap n am- Pl°eminent yed for .years by au iu the neighbour- hood, and having always borne an unimpeachable cha racter, he felt so indignant at such a scandalous imputa tion that he instantly knocked him down, and would do the same again upon the like provocation. Mr. Hammill said that such an injurious and un founded aspersion was certainly strongly calculated to exasperate the feelings of a respectable man, which he believed the defendant to be, and as he felt reluctant, under the circumstances, to impose a penalty, he should allow them to retire into a private room, and endeavour to effect an amicable arrangement. After a short absence the parties re-entered the court, and it having been intimated by the complainant that he had no wish to proceed further in the matter, the de fendant was ordered to be discharged.

WESTMINSTER:--Isabella Mary Jolley, a respect able-looking woman, 42 years old, was placed at the bar, on suspicion of having murdered her mother. Sarah Massoup, sworn—l am servant to the prisoner, at 33, Hill-street, Knightsbridge. The family consisted of Miss Jolley and her mother, who was a widow getting on for 90. She was very infirm, but not bedridden. I had to help to undress and get her into bed. I did so at ten on Wednesday night. The prisoner came home at eleven. I went to bed, and about three o'clock was awoke by the prisoner coming into my room. She had no light, and was not undressed. She told me I need not get up before seven o'clock, when I was to make breakfast and take it up. I rose at the hour named, and was taking the breakfast up to the second floor front room where the old lady slept, when the prisoner told me I must not go in there, but must take it into the next room. Prisoner and her mother slept in the front room, and it was in that room I had put the old lady to bed the night before. I was trying to open the door of that room when the prisoner spoke to me, and I found it locked. She had been out about eight o'clock, and came up the stairs at that moment. She said she did not wish it to be opened, because " pussey" would go in there. I said, "That is very strange, for misses is so fond of the cat." She went into the room with the breakfast, and I went down stairs. • A little while after wards I went up into the back room, and there I found the tea things. They were dirty, and both cups had been used. Prisoner went out again, shortly after I had taken the things down. She came in about 10 o'clock. When I asked her if she would have the usual washing done, she told me she would not. I went down stairs, and remained there till a policeman came. Mr. Arnold—Who first told you of her death ? Witness—The policeman. Prisoner then came down to me, and I said " It was very wrong of you not to have said anything about misses being dead." She said, " Fanny, don't speak." • Mr. Arnold—When she came to the room to you, at night, did she say anything else besides what you have told me. WAR-OFFICE, AUG. 17.

I had given her notice last week to quit, and she said that I might go to a lady to see about another situation, and she said lier_brother had told her that she had better take her mother to the salt-water for the benefit of her healtb, and that Mrs. Crapp would take care of the house. She said, "Do you think you will go and look for a place to-morrow ? There will be nothing to binder you." I have been in the habit of go ing into the deceased's room with the breakfast, and cutting her bread and butter. I never found the door locked before. Prisoner, upon being asked whether she wished to put any questions to the witness, said, in an almost inaudible tone, that she did not go into the servant's room after 11 on Wednesday night, and then merely went to give some instructions about b rea kf as t, t hi n ki ng that her mother would want something early. 'Witness repeated that the visit was after she had been in bed as described. Mrs. Mary Crapp, 17, Hill-street, the wife of a builder, said—l know Miss Jolley. I passed her parlour window when she tapped at it a little after 12 yesterday morn ing. I stopped, and she said, "I am mad—l am almost mad ;" and holding her hands to her head, appeared in a most agitated state. I went in and she said some thine, about her poor mother, and added, "She is dead." I said, " Was she ill?" and she said something about a razor and cutting her throat, and of her (prisoner) hav ing put her mother's feet up on a chair, and her dying quietly, and about something wet, something about the mother having said, "Don't trouble, I am very wet," and of her putting her band to her breast and saying, "I am dying." Prisoner told me she tried to cut her own throat, but could not for the life of her. She kept putting her hands up to her head in a very strange man ner. She said the. occurrence took place about the morning. She said she was cold and stiff then. She said the servant did not know it. She did not like to tell her because she was a Catholic. I do not know what that had to do with it. Mr. Crapp, Sergeant M`Leod of the B division, and a Mr. Huggard, were severally examined. Their united testimony was to the followingeffect :—After'the prisoner informed them that her mother was dead, she oh. served Sergeant M`Leod, who had entered the passage a moment after the other two, and appeared ve r y muc h alarmed, and said th a t Mr. rapp should not have told a policeman. They went upstairs to the second floor front room. Prisoner unlocked the door, and they went in, and saw the deceased lying across the bed with her feet on a chair, and her throat cut. Prisoner said that about daylight she heard something the matter with her mother, who said " I am very wet," and when she put her hand upon her she discovered that it was blood. She asked deceased wh a t was th e ma t ter, when she replied "I am dying." Prisoner said she then laid her back upon the bed and put her feet upon a chair and she inune die.tely expired. Th e po li ce sergeant asked what deceased's throat was cut with, when she replied a raaor, and pointed to the table drawer. The policeman took the razor out of the drawer, and ex amining it said, it is quite clean. She replied, " I have washed it, and I have taken it out this morning and had it sharpened." She said she had tried to cut her own throat, but the razor would not act upon her.

The prisoner, Joseph Snaith Wooler, was again brought up on remand, for the fourth time, this morning at ten o'clock, at the magistrates' room. Three justices were present—Messrs. Allan, Smith, and Golling. Mr. Marshall, the prisoner's solicitor, on the latter beim! called up, said he had this morning seen M r . Smith, the solicito r f or the prosecution, and understood from him that he would not be present to-day, nor would Mr. Davison, his counsel. Under these circumstances the course to be pursued, as agreed upon, was to for mally remand Mr. Wooler until Friday next, when the further evidence, he presumed, would be gone into. The magistrates at once formally remanded the pri soner. The court had become well filled, and the spectators seemed to leave with great reluctance. The analysis of Professor Taylor has not yet arrived, but is anticipated to be ready by the next examination. TILE LATE EXTRAORDINARY ACCIDENT ON WESTMINSTER BRIDGE. Latt evening Mr. Bedford held an inquest at West minster Hospital on the body of a man unknown, who lost his life in such an extraordinary manner, on West minster bridge, on Wednesday night last. Some parti culars of the case appeared in this journal of Thursday, hut although a full description of the deceased and the property found upon his person had been published, no one had yet come forward to identify the body or to claim the property found upon it. A. great many witnesses were examined, but the fol lowing contains the principal features of their evidence : William Clare, of 15, Maiden-lane, C,ivent-garden, who appeared to be suffering severely from the injuries be had received, said that on the morning in question he was at work at Westminster-bridge, and was standing on a "traveller" winding up the diving-belle, when everything shifted momentarily from him, the wheels of some the machinery flew in sund r y di rect i ons, setting fire to tarpaulin, and he understood that one piece of the wheel had struck the deceased and killed him. 'Witness was also severely injured, but, he was glad to say, he had got away alive. Mr. James Campbell said that he wag in the employ of the contractors, Messrs. C. J. Mare an • d Co,Blac Black wall. He instruct e d a person named 'Watts to . look after o of the machinery that caused the death. The part whieh broke was the "crab." He saw no defect in its con struction. Ey the Coroner—He had so much confidence in the general formation of the machines that he had ordered two others of the same sort. Mr. Edward Wallis, house surgeon, described the na ture of the injuries which the deceased had received. He was quite dead when brought into the hospital. He found that the chest was broken in, the bag of the heart was exposed, and the heart was lacerated, which had , caused instantaneous death. Mr. John Watt, in the employ of Messrs. C. J. Mare ' and Co., said that he was a mechanical engineer, and he knew from his own knowledge that every chain that had been used in the machinery had been proved to carry 15 tons weight, but when the accident took place there was not one-third the weight upon the bearings. By the Coroner—There was a complication of wheels in the machines for the purpose of giving power. The atmosphere materially affected iron, but the present time of the year was most favourable for the gaiety of iron machines. The Jury returned a verdict of accidental death by the breaking of machinery used for the new bridge; and the jury recommended, for the safety of the public, the formation of guards over the working parts of the ma chinery, HOSPITAL STAFF.
