Subsequently the body of a male child was found in the park, and upon prisoner being traced out, she admitted she had put the child there, adding that she had tried to get some one to bury it, and could not. She added that Mrs. Butler, knowing that she bad been delivered at her house, had told her to wrap the body of the child in a sheet and get rid of it, and had taken her first to Panton-street, and then to where she had left her. This Mrs. Butler denied, adding that she had not any idea the child was born in her house, or that she had given say such advice. The prisoner had, it appeared, provided the necessary infant clothing. The Common Sergeant, after hearing Mr, Sleigh, directed an acquittal. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. The November adjourned sessions commenced yester day morning at Clerkenwell, before Mr. Sorjeant Adams, Assistant-Judge, and a bench of magistrates. The calendar was a very light one, there being but 39 prisoners for trial, of whom 31 were charged with felony, and 8 with misdemeanour. David David. Ton, 26, who was stated to be a Hunga rian, was indicted for stealing a portmanteau containing certain articles, the property of the Eastern Counties Railway Company, and also for stealing a portmanteau, the property of Lionel Inglis. There was a third charge of a similar nature against him. He pleaded guilty. It appeared that the prisoner had been systematically robbing railway passengers of their luggage. The Assistant• Judge sentenced him to one year's im prisonment with bard labour. (Before Mr. Witham.) Thomas Chilcott, 27, described as a chimney-sweep, was indicted for having committed an aggravated assault upon Isaac Smith. The prisoner, though described as a sweep, had been pursuing the avocation of a cab driver, and the prose cutor, a poor old man with one hand (lc ho had been both a soldier and a sailor) was a waterman at the Shoreditch cab rank. On the morning of the sth of November the prosecutor had occasion to give a man, named Maloney, into cestody for an assault, and as they were going to the station the prisoner met them. He said, " Here comes th. ---- old waterman," and at the same time he rushed towards him and deliberately kicked him in a most cowardly, base, and inhuman manner. The constable at once took him in charge, and he attempted to bite his fingers, and he actually did tear a piece of flesh off his knuckles with his teeth. The consequence of the kick on the prosecutor was that he was severely ruptured, and, in the opinion of a me dical man, lamed for life. The jury found him guilty. Mr. Witham said the court was determined to punish with the greatest severity every one convicted of such a disgustingly brutal offence. The sentence was that the prisoner be kept to hard labour in the House of Correction for two years. LETTERS FROM THE CRIMEA. The following letter is from a Scotch sergeant of Artillery to his wife : " Camp near Sobastopol, Nov. 7. "My dear Anne,—Since I wrote to you last we have been twice engaged with the enemy ; the first time was on the 25th of last month ; the last time was on Sun day, the sth inst., and such a day I never wish to see again. Our loss was not great, but what we most la ment was the loss of our commander, Major Townsend, who was shot dead. In him we mourn the loss of a friend and a brave soldier, and no doubt a sincere Chris tian. What a pleasure it was to hear him read the prayers of the English Church to us on a Sunday, and then a short sermon after, or a funeral service. There was no formality in it ; the heart felt what the words expressed, and we all now feel the loss of a father. I hear no joyous laugh now, as when he was with us, but I believe and hope he has only exchanged this world for a far better. We had about 20 killed and wounded, among the number Sergeant Crawfurd, slightly wounded, but bad enough to keep him in his tent for several days. The Russians are very numerous, but not good soldiers, especially their infantry. Their artillery is nearly equal to our own, and much more nume rous. We hive always beat them at close quar ters, and I hope we shall soon see the fall of this place. The firing of guns has never ceased since we Came hero on the 27th of September. We have been firing at them for three weeks ; their loss has been very great ; our loss has been very small to what might have een expected. I saw Sergeant M'Lernon the other day, he is in good health now, and has as yet escaped inhurt. I wish this work was at an end; we have been ready for action twice this day, but thu enemy never came near enough to engage us ; so here we are, ready ogoto it again. I have run many a narrow escape, but, through God's mercy, I have always escaped un urt, for which I thank the Wise Disposer of all events, and that we may yet meet again and be happy onoe al and, i o t d h r :i think per t m h h a y e p s c ß:u n w s s i s t l i a l a n n n t o s t r a e fi r ci g e u h a e t s f r t u a s i t d m o o u t f c h h e ll u s o a i v r t e e C r . l O o s T f e ul Good. I a e r i t o s e o r n s o , news in a camp life, so, my dear, you must not expect any news from me, except about fighting. In our last engagement we lost General Sir George Cathcart, the commander of our division ; also Colonel Strangways, of our own regiment ; Colonel Swyny, 63d Regiment. We buried them all yesterday, which was a sorrowful day to us all. It was Lieutenant-General Cathcart who was sent to the Cape of Good Hope, and subdued the Caffres. "How do you get your money ? it is always in my mind ; and how is our little darling ? I think I see her now asking God to bless her dear father ; surely her prayers are heard, for I am always in good health and spirits, and friends with everybody. Give me all the news of the village. Newspapers seldom come here ; I have never had one. My kind love to all, and accept of my affection yourself. "JAMES TPIORBUBN. " The following is an extract from a lettet written by a young officer of the " Royal " Regiment to his sister : " Heights above Sebastopol, Nov. 7. "I have now the worst news to tell. Poor Affix, my greatest friend in the world, fell, nearly cut in two by a round shot. We buried him yesterday, the whole regi ment attending, besides great numbers from other corps. It has cast a gloom over most of us. He was beloved everywhere, and was one of the most honourable, hand some, fine, dashing fellows that ever lived. His loss as an officer will be long felt in the regiment ; lout, by me, as a friend, will be remembered for ever." -- - , , (FROM .m AN OFFICER OF THE 20TH EGIIIENT.) Heights above Sebastopol, Nov. 6. As we fought another battle yesterday, and the tele graphic accounts will reach you first, all the good people in England must be anxious to hear of or from their friends and relations. At daylight yesterday the Rus sians attacked our lines and drove in the pickets of the Second Division, after which they succeeded in gaining a footing on the heights and got their guns up. At this time we were marched over to support the other divisions, and after that I can tell little more of it than what I was actually concerned in. Our first orders were that only those of the regiment who had been in bed all night were to go out, but it was soon evident that we wanted all we could muster. I and some others, with about 200 men,had just come in from being 24 hours in the trenches, during the most of which it rained, and I was just getting warm in bed when we heard the bugles sound the assembly. We we were marched over to where the fighting was going on, and were told to advance immediately and support the Guards, who were skirmishing in front, and to drive the Russians down the hill. The ground was covered with scrubby oaks from four to six feet high, among which the enemy were crouched down and firing upon our people. As soon as we came on to support the Guards the Russians began to make the best of their way down the hill, and our men to chase them down. We killed numbers of them, and, as we had no orders to halt, we continued keeping along the hill side, about half-way down, and firing at the retreating enemy. I then heard the bugle sound to retire, and set about try ing to get the men back—no such easy matter, as by this time, from several regiments having been seat after each other, they were all mixed up. I set about getting up the hill and making my way back to where we had come from, along with officers and men of other regi ments, when we found that the Russians on the hill hael got above us, and cut us off from our own people. I got up to within ten yards of where I could see a line of heads among the brushwood and behind some stones, and blazing away at us as fast as they could. Our sol diers returned their fire, but were at a disadvantage from being exposed at such a short distance. At this time Sir George Cathcart rode up within a few steps of where I stood, but I heard no order given, and began to have visions of being shot through the head, or of going prisoner into Sebastopol, as we could scarcely muster a company, and the enemy had a large force above us ; some called out to charge them, but at the same time saw it was of no use. They stopped firing at us and began to stone us, as it seemed to me with very large stones ; but I don't now understand what it could be, as one struck a man just in front of where I stood, knocked his head to pieces, and sent him back with such force as to knock over the man behind him. I saw that some thing was clearing the way in that line, and stepped aside, so as to give it a chance of passing me, and had scarcely done so when an officer who came into my place was killed at my elbow. I then saw we could do nothing where we were, and thought of trying to make my way to the left, which was our direction, without ascending the hill. Some men I found doing the same, when we found that the enemy had come down a little in front of us, and they peppered us at a pretty rate; how any one escaped such firing is wonderful. As soon as I found that we were cut off a second time, I turned more down the hill, and we succeeded in clearing them by about a dozen yards, and then made the best of our way to the left, keeping along the hillside, as the Russians were all along the hill above us, and, by good luck, got back to our own people. I thank God for my escape, as there was no officer that I knew even by sight who was present where we were intercepted that escaped except myself. Sir George Cathcart and his aide and Major Wynne, of they 68th, and some others, all lost their lives there. I bad not more than one or two men of my own company with me, but there was ne such thing as companies or order. However, here I am without a scratch, and much reason to be thankful, as our loss has been severe. The regi ment went into action under 500 strong, and our loss has been 171 of all ranks, killed, wounded, or missing. Poor Dowling, one of our lieutenants, was killed, and six other officers wounded ; I am happy to say that none of them have lost limbs, or are considered in dan ger. The siege of Sebastopol does not progress very rapidly, but the French are making approaches pretty f n r e o a m r the t h e t town. nature NV of e a the h e o n o able g t roo to advance around. d.%v e our should batteries, be much the better of a good reinforcement of troops, as our army is diminishing in numbers.

My letter is all about fighting, and I suppose you see that H o in pi o t g h et to s ee papers, fh obeunt end of t h h a e v b e u n s o fn e great e before long, that I may see all my friends in health, believe me, to. The following letter is from a private of the 63d Regiment : "Camp off Sebastopol, Nov. 6. ge My dear Mother,—l had expected that I should have heard from you before this time. I can tell you that us people out here think a great deal of getting a letter from any of our friends, more, I dare say, than what we did when we were at home; I cannot tell you the reason of it properly, unless it is that we are in a great deal more danger, for we are fighting every day, some days more than others, but I think the sth of November will be recollected by a great many. I am Pure that it will by me for a long time. We were turned out about six o'clock in tie morning. The Russians were making their way out of Sebasto pol. We had to drive them back. We marched up to the place where they were in thousands. When we got there they were beating some of our regiments back. Our regiment and the 21st formed line. We then charged them, and we did it west gloriously. We routed thousands ; and as fast as we could run and load our pieces, so fast they fell, for we could not miss them, they were so thick. We chased them for the best part of a mile, past their own intrenchment ; and close up to that, in the thick of the whole of it, fell poor Mr. Clutterbuck, who was carrying the Queen's colours and cheering the men on. I think the last words that he said were, " Come on 63d when he received a shot right through the neck, which killed him instantly. He died gloriously. I never saw a braver man than him in the field that day, although it is with sorrow that I have to record his death. I was by his side the whole of the time ; it was between 8 and 9 o'clock in the morning of the sth that ho received his death wound. As for myself, thank God, I did not so much as receive a scratch the whole of the day. After the fight was over I went to him, and got his remains carried into the camp. I took a small piece of his hair, which I send to you to give over to his respected friends. His disconso late father may well be proud of having such a son, for lie fought and died bravely, with the Queen's colour of the 63d Regiment in his hand. I send my kind love to his father, brothers, and sisters. It is with a sorrowful heart that I send this letter. Poor Mr. Clutterbuck was not the only one that fell that day. We lost our colonel, Swiney, killed in the field. Lieutenant Curtois died as soon as he was brought to the camp. As for the men killed and wounded, it is a great many ; we do not know properly yet how many, but it is a great6deal. As for the Russians, they caught it iu no mistake, for the y los t thousands. The battle of the AIWA yiA4l nothing to be be compared to the fight on the sth. It lasted from six in the morning till four or five in the evening, we firing on them as hard as we could ; but I think they wero glad to retire into Sebastopol in the even ing. I forgot to tell you that we lost General Cathcart, Colonel Seymour, Adjutant-General, besides other brave officers. Mr. Clutterbuck was laid by the side of them. I am very sorry to inform you that Corporal Lovett was wounded severely on the top of his head. I cannot say whether he will get over it or not. I send my kind love to Mrs. Lovett and her daughter, and if anything hap pens to her son I will let her know by the first opportu nity. Be sure and answer this letter by the first oppor tunity, and direct to me, 'G. Evans, Light Company, 63d, army serving in Russia or elsewhere,' for fear of mistakes. Give my kind love to my dear wife, son, and daughter. I hope they are quite well, and doing well. I hope that God will spare me, so that we may live many happy days together yet. Let me know is she living with my mother yet. I must now conclude, with kind love to father and mother, sister and brother, and to all inquiring friends. " I remain, your affectionate son, " GEORGE EVANS. THE ALLIED FORCES 1N THE CRIMEA AND BLACK SEA. The combined forces landed at Old Fort on 14th Sep tember last comprehended-- British . French .

It is also reported from Constantinople that on the 6th instant two steamers and one sailing vessel arrived with 5,000 French troops and passed on, but part may be contained in the fore going.) Making in all 5,815 Nov. 9—Under date " Varna" it is said 5 transports conveyed 20 guns and French troops, 3,000 ; ditto, 3 transports left with 18 guns, 10,000 cartridges, and Turkish troops, 2,000 It is also necessary to add that the Egyptian troops arrived and en route amount to 5,000, and that British and French marines and sailors engaged on shore amount to 7,000 Thus showing about the middle of this month, a grand total of But it is necessary to deduct our losses since the 14th Sept. in sick, killed, and wounded, which may be estimated as follows, viz. : At the battle of Alma, killed and wounded, say 4,000 ; Balaklava, on the 25th Oct., 800 ; Inkerman, sth 3,500 ; in the trenches since the siege Nov.,egan, say 1,000 —9,300 ; carried off by cholera and disabled by sickness since 14th Sept., say 8,000 2,800 1,000 1,500 1,200 3,300 6,800 5,000 And there will remain an effective force of British, French, Turks, &c., on or about the 15th inst., of 94,115 Since the 15th inst. the following steamers have sailed with British troops, stores, &c., viz. : Niagara, 1,000 ; Adelaide, 200 ; Tamar, 1,000 ; Europa, 1,000 ; Charity, 700 ; Robert Lowe, 650 ; Manilla, Rajah, Brandon, stores, &c. ; H.M.S.

Add to these the strength of the Allied fleets, and you will have little short of a combined force of 150,000 men ; besides, further French reinforcements to the amount of 35,000 men will soon be on their way to some part of the Crimea or the Danube. Opposed to them, we are told, there are— The remainder of the Russians who fought Men. at Alma Liprandi's corps 30,000 Luder's corps Dannenberg's corps The 3d division, referred to in Lord Raglan's despatch of Bth November And gunners said to be en route from Cron stadt .. 12,000 Sebastopol garrison Total 157,000 Deduct—Losses in killed and wounded : At Balaklava, Sebastopol, and In kerman And for exaggerated numbers 20,000 . _ 45,000 Leaving an effective force, about 15th prox ,of 112,000 The inaction of the Russians from the sth to the 15th inst. proves either that their numbers have been exag gerated, or that they are in need of supplies of shot, shell, ammunition, and provisions. These must reach them via Perekop, but they will be obtained with the utmost difficulty, as the country for 100 miles south ward is said to have become little better than a swamp (caused by the recent rains), as it always is in Novem ber and December. If these estimates are correct there is no reason to de spair. On the contrary, it may turn out that there is a glorious opportunity of demolishing the whole Russian army in their own trap before the dry weather again sets in—say the middle of January—when the frost begins to harden the roads for a month or two, until the April rains again saturate them—thanks to the noble handful of men who fought so gloriously on the sth of November. Such is the fortune of war. Had the Allies been repulsed on that day what momentous consequences must have ensued to England and the world. More might be said about the Baltic fleet, with its host of noble steamers, being almost immediately available for forwarding further reinforcements to aid in completing the glorious work. When reference is made to the glorious fleet of steam transports, now in the Black Sea—such as the Simla, Cambria, Baltic, Himalaya, Prince, &c., altogether above 40 in number, capable of carrying on the average above 1,200 men each, or 50,000 men altogether, it may well be asked, what is not in the power of an enterprising general to accomplish ? In proof of the correctness, so far, of the foregoing figures, the following extract of a letter from a French officer, dated Sebastopol the 3d inst., is given, viz.:— " Our forces in the Crimea are not more than 55,000 combatants, viz. :- 17,000 French, engaged in the siege. 15,000 French, the army of observation. 9,000 English, engaged in the siege. 6,000 English, army of observation. 6,000 Turks. 53,000 12,000 Cavalry, Artillery, and Engineers." Which makes 65,000 according to his showing, and to these ought to be added the French and British marines and sailors on shore , viz., 7,000 men. The heavy rein forcements, it will be observed, arrived subsequent to the 3d of November, the date of his letter. BURNING MR. J OHN .

Here it was set on fire, when some police officers, seeing the crowd assembled, interfered and took it away.

In the scuffle that took place Mr. Bright lost his " broad brim." After his rescue from the police he was taken down Cable -street and again set on fire.

(Before Vice-Chancellor Sir John Stuart.) HERTZ V. THE UNION BANK OF LONDON. Mr. Bacon and, Mr. Greene appeared for the plaintiff, in support of I. motion for an injunction to restrain the defendants from erecting upon their premises any build ing of a g'.'eater height than the elevation at the same point of the old buildings as they lately stood thereon, so as 4 40 darken, obscure, or impede the light, and air heretofore enjoyed by the plaintiff. The plaintiff carried o•A business as a diamond merchant and picture dealer, at 32, on the west side of Argyle-street, Regent-street, and obtained a lease of the house in January last, for 21 years. It appeared that the defendants proposed to erect a party wall next adjoining the plaintiff's premises, of such a height as to obstruct the admission of light into the room, in which the plaintiff carried on his trade, the windows of which were ancient lights, which the plaintiff contended would interfere with his carrying on his business. Mr. Maline and Mr. Eddis appeared for the defendants, and opposed the motion. The Vice-Chancellor said the plaintiff complained that a light which he had shown to be an ancient light was about to be obstructed by the building of the defendants, and had proved that the smallest diminution of light would be a serious injury to him in his business. On behalf of the defendants, it was insisted that this was an ancient light in a dwelling-house, and that upon the authorities they were entitled to obscure it. But he thought that those 'authorities had no application to the present case, which was that of threatened injury to trade. The plaintiff was entitled to the protection sought, and there must be an injunction against the defendants as asked. ALLEN V. WILLIAMS. The defendant in this case was a perpetual curate i n the diocese of Manchester, and by an order of the court he was directed to pay a sum of money to the plaintiff. This he did not do, and a sequestration, dated the 11th November, 1854, was issued, to which a return was made, that the defendant had no lay property. Under these circumstances application was made to the court, and the motion was directed to stand over. Mr. Munro, the Registrar, now handed up to the court the case of " Norton v. Pritchard," before the late Vice-Chancellor of England from the Registra r ' s Book, B. 1844, f o l. 1,568, where a sequestration was issued to the Bishop of Norwich after a return made by the Commissioners of Sequestration that the defendant was a beneficed clergyman in his diocese. Mr. T. F. White appeared, and asked for an order in the terms of the order referred to by Mr. Munro. The Vice-Chancellor said he thought that upon the authority of the case cited the order asked was of 'Curse ; but his Honour would express no opinion as to the effect of the order upon the statute of the 13th of Elizabeth, 0. 20, which prohibited a clergyman from charging his benefice. 1 INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT. (Before Mr. Commi ss i oner Philli ps. ) IN RE ROBERT GEORGE WILL IAM WEAR. This insolvent, who had been the managing director of a company called " The Amazon Life Assurance," ap• plied under the Protection Act. A creditor named Hogg opposed in person on two bills for loans granted, for which he charged at the rate of " thirty per cent." Mr. Commissioner Phillips said the law now allowed any rate of interest, but whether the :aw would allow such a complaint was another question; The complainant said it was a losing matter. His Honour recommended the creditor to leave off the trade. He considered the interest enormous. Such persons were their own insurers, and this court would not protect them. _ A day was named for the final order, and a married woman, who appeared to oppose, was told that her hus- band could appear on the next occasion. IN RR JA.3IES RICHARDSON. This insolvent, a coal dealer, was opposed by Mr. Dowse, and supported by Mr. Reed. The insolvent petitioned as a trader owing less than 3001. It was elicited that he had been sued by a coal merchant in (a county court for 501., the hizhest amount, when the claim was nearly 3001. In the schedule the debt was 501., but had the original amount been inserted, the insolvent would have owed beyond the amount allowed by the Protection Act. The ques tion was, whether the remainder of the debt was waived, and it was proved to be the case, on which the court heard the petition. Ultimately the case was adjourned for further evidence. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—Nov; 27. Samuel Harrison, 36, was indicted for feloniously in ' citing and procuring one Alfred Tilly to steal a quantity of silk, the property of his master. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and the learned judge having observed upon the aggravated nature of his crime, sentenced him to eight years' penal servitude. Upon the application of Mr. Ballantine, the trial of Charles Maltby, who stands charged with fraud in con nection with Joseph Windle Cole, who was convicted and sentenced to four years' penal servitude at the Sep tem'aer session, was postponed to the December session. Thomas William O'Keefe was placed at the bar to re ceive the judgment of the court. It will be recollected that the prisoner was convicted at the September session of this court of obtaining a very considerable sum of money from a lady named Priscilla East, with whom he had become connected, and whom he had promised to marry, he being at the time, as it turned out, a married man with a family. Sentence was respited upon the understanding that the prisoner would endeavour to make some atonement for his offence, by restoring a portion of the money of which he bad so disgracefully defrauded the prosecutrix. The prisoner now addressed the court, and asked for further time, and said that if it were granted he believed he should be able by the next session to make a more satisfactory offer than he could at present. The Recorder inquired of the prisoner whether he was able at this time to guarantee any amount of money to the prosecntrix The prisoner said he was unable to do so at that mo ment, but he should be able to do so by the next session. The Recorder said he mast understand that the court did not make any conditions with him. Under the peculiarcir cumstances of the case, he htd felt that, as the prisoner had deprived this lady of a considerable sum of money, if he had repaid any considerable portion of it, that fact would be taken into consideration in mitigation of punishment. If the whole, however, were restored it was impossible to pass over an offence of such a descrip tion without some punishment. As he must remain in custody, therefore, he had no objection to postpone passing sentence to the next session. NEW COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) Sarah Smith., otherwise Jane Kart, was indicted for concealing the birth of her child. Mr. Lilley prosecuted, and Mr. Sleigh defended. It appeared that the prisoner had lived in the service of a lady named Butler, of Claverton-terrace, Pimlico, from the 22d July until the time of the present occurrence. After she had been some few weeks in that lady's service she was taxed with being pregnant, but upon that and two other occasions denied that she was so ; but at the end of September she admitted the fact to Mrs. Butler, and said that she meant to go to a married sister's house, at Finchley, and there be confined. She said that she could safely stay with her (Mrs. Butler) until the end of November, and that lady agreed that she should remain for some time. Upon Friday the 13th of October the prisoner did her work as usual ; but about 12 o'clock that night she came to her mistress, and said that she had fallen down against the scullery steps, and hurt herself, and wished to go away, but Mrs. Butler ob jected, not thinking her safe to be left alone. The prisoner, however, insisted upon going. Mrs. Butler then ordered a cab, and said she would accompany prisoner, who then said she would go to a sister in the Haymarket, and directed the cabman to go to Panton street. The cabman knocked, and some one who an. swered the door told prisoner that she could not see her sister that night, as she had gone to bed. She then told the cabhaa; to drive to Green-street, where she got out POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL.—John Jones Mullins, a tobacconist, residing at No. 24, Fore-street, Cripplegate, was charged before Alderman Challis, on suspicion of having thrown a canister of gunpowder down a chimney of the house of his next door neighbour. Inspector Todhunter deposed that on Sunday morn ing, about 11 o'clock, he heard a tremendous explosion, and saw smoke issuing from the third floor front room window of No. 25. He hastened to the house, and on the stairs saw a child very much burnt and screaming. On entering the room where the explosion had taken place he perceived the window frames and sashes were displaced by the concussion, as were also the brickwork and mantel-piece of the fire-place. In the room he found a canister capable of containing nearly a pound of gunpowder, which smelt as if it had just exploded ; also a piece of tin, which evidently had formed a portion of the canister. On looking out of the window he saw the prisoner on the roof of his own house, and gave direc tions for him to be brought into the room he (witness) was examining. Witness asked him what he was on the roof for, to which he replied that hearing an explo sion next door, and, not being able to ascertain the cause from the window, he had gone on to the roof to see what it was. From subsequent information witness had received he caused the prisoner to be brought before the magistrate. Emma Porson, servant to Mr. Collett, said she was in the first floor front room of No. 95, Fore-street, which in nearly apposite where the explosion took place. As soon as she heard the noise she went to the window and saw the prisoner on the roof of his own house. He did not appear to be doing anything. She did not see any one else there—if there had been she could have seen them. She saw him go back into his own house. Gertrude Collett, a child of nine years old, gave simi lar evidence. Mr. Sanders, who appeared for the prisoner, said there was no case at all made out against his client, and he was prepared with evidence to prove where he was both before and after the explosion took place. He was a most respectable man, and above committing such an atrocious act. Mr. Alderman Challis thought the case as it stood rather strong against him. It was necessary there should be a remand, in order to have the girl up who was in jured. He would admit the prisoner to bail, himself in 801. and two sureties of 401. each. Bail was put in, and the prisoner liberated. CLERKENWELL.—Mrs. Charles Altberry, a lady like young woman, of 2, Greyhound-yard, Holborn, was charged with uttering a bad shilling. Hannah Harrington.said—l keep a stall in Leather lane. On Saturday evening the lady came and bought a glass ornament to put on a candle. She gave me a shilling. Not having the change, I sent it by another woman to a beer•shop at the corner of Cross-street, and it was returned as a bad one. I told the lady of it, and asked her for another, but she said that she gave me a good shilling ; and as she would not change it I gave her into custody of the policeman. She stood at the stall whilst I sent for the change, and she saw me send for it. Prisoner—The shilling I gave the woman was one of the reign of George IV., and was much worn ; in fact, it was handed at the moment to another woman to get change, and the same woman brought back coppers for it. Mr. Corrie, to complainant—ls that so, and is that woman pi esent ? Complainant—She did bring back the change, but she was not able to attend to-day. Mr. Corrie—ls there any one present connected with this, young woman ? Acting Inspector Holloway, G—Yes, your worship; her husband is present, also her mother. They are seemingly very respectable persons. The husband, a well-dressed young man, here pre sented himself in the witness-box. Mr. Corrie—ln this case, all I can do is to regret that your wife was ever taken into custody. She may go away. The mother of the young woman, an elderly lady, dressed in deep mourning, and who, during the investi gation, criod most bitterly, rushed to the entrance of I the dock and, clasping her daughter in her arms, kissed her most fervently. Mr. Corrie to Inspector Holloway —Did you take this charge ? Mr. Holloway—No, your worship ; it was taken by Sergeant Duffell, 3 G. Mr. Corrie—Well, I wish you would report that where parties give an address the officer taking the charge should send to make inquiry previous to holding them in custody for any lengthened period. In the above instance, the woman was detained—the offence being unbailable—front 9 o'clock on Saturday night until 12 yesterday (Monday).
