OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Gloucester, Aug 14. CROWN COURT. —(Before Mr. Baron MARTIN.) Richard Kear, 24, James James, 18, George Charles, 22, Thomas Stephens, 21, and Tnomas James, 20, colliers in the Forest of Dean, were in dicted for having committed a rape on M try M.`Carthy, in the night of Tuesday, the 29:h of July, at the parish of Lvdney. Mr. Huddlestone conducted the prosecation ; and Mr. Cooke the defence. This case was peculiar in its atrocity. The pro. secutrix, an Irishwoman, about 35 years of age, and not at all handsome, who had left Ireland seven years ago, and lived as a servant for some time in London, and lately went down to Cardiff and Bristol to look after a brother, who she was told was at work on some of the new lines of railway, and earned her bread as she went along by sometimes working at needlework for her country people, and occasionally at haymaking, was going from Chepstow to Glou cester, on the 29th of July, and after leaving Coleford, about two o'clock, passed through the skirts of the Forest of Dean by a bye-road which would bring her directly into the main road. She was very weak and ill, and not knowing her way, got benighted in the forest, and went towards a fire, which turned out to be a fire in an open, uncovered hovel, near the mouth of a coalpit. Tired and weary, and ex hausted by cold, and travel, and hunger, she lay down near the fire ; and in a short time two of the prisoners came and spoke to her, and she told them she was very ill, and asked them for a drink of water. They desired her to go to a public-house called the Nag's, Head, about 100 yards off, telling her that she would there get water in the yard. She got up and strug gled to the yard, but could find no water there • and, being a stranger, with ou t money, s h e di d not fike to go into the house, and turned back towards the fire. On her way she met two men and a woman, and told them she was ill and wanted a drink of water. They said, if she went down the road she would get some water. She turned about and was going down, when hear came up, pretended to have compassion on her, put a shawl round her neck to protect her, as he said, from the cold, and told her, if she went back he would bring her some water. Believing that he was a decent man, who pitied her, she went back to the fire and sat down, and Kear soon came up with ano ther man, who brought the water in a pitcher. It appeared that that was a club night at the Nag's Head, and a number of colliers were drinking there. " When the water came," said the prosecutrix, " I drank three drinks, and there was another drink, and I asked them not to throw it away, and they took it and put it near the fire, and I went and sa t near the fire. When I drank th e water they all came about me, and asked if I was better after the water. I wes frightened, and said no." Kear then said, "There is a house here, I am the master of it ; I have the key in my pocket, and nobody shall interfere with you till morning." I said I should sooner be left at the fire, as I was cold, and very ill. Then George Charles jumped up and said I should go. I said l could not go, the morning was near, and I would sooner be left at the fir e . I saw them whispering. Kear said I should go, and I refused as much as twenty times. Kear and Charles both stood up, and gave orders to the two men alongside of me to take me into the cabin. One of these men i 3 James, the other is not here; he is the one who fetched the water. Charles took up a shovel, held it over my bead, and said he would burn me in the fire if I would not go in, and that there was one burned there before ; and another answered, and said there was. There were then nine or ten persons there. The two men who received the orders then took me in. They did not drag me in, but I was taken in as a prisoner be tween them. There was a large fire in the cabin, and they set me between them on a form, and George Charles went out and brought in two shovels of red coals and put them on a thing like an oven. Kear opened the door. George Charles, when be put down the coals, walked out. Kear stood outside, and some one locked the door. James James and the man who fetched the water stopped inside. As soon as the door was locked the man who fetched the water came on his two knees opposite to me. James James was then sitting by my side, and took hold of my arms and put them behind my back, and the other put down his trousers, The prosecutrix then detailed her sufferings from nine men in succession. As they were ill-using her, and she was crying out "Mur der," she heard those who were outside the hut laugh ing at her. J. James acted with peculiar barbarity, inflicting injuries with his hand such as were never before heard of in a court of justice. Stephens and Thomas James acted with a little more mercy to wards her than the rest. Only five of the nine men have been as yet arrested. J. James was such a brute that, not content with the outrages inflicted on her by himself and the other eight ruffians, he went to the Nag's Head, and there attempted to rouse up another collier, in order that he too might assault her, but he was so drunk that he could not be awakened. J. James told him of this the next day, and he now came for ward to add this fact in corroboration of the prosecutrix's statement. When the nine fellows had gratified their passions day was dawning, and she was scarcely able to move, and she sat up aga i nst a form, and Kear came in and said she might stop in the cabin till seven in the morning, and he would give her the key, and she might lock the door on the in side ; but George Charles came in and took up a shovel, and said he would kill her if she did not leave. Kear took the shovel from him and threw him on his back. She walked out and down the road. Thomas Stephens, with three others, came to Ler and said, " Well, mistress, what is the matter with you ?" and I said, " You know well ; you have almost killed me." Went towards a house, and Stephens said he would kill her if she went towards the house. Met a woman. Afterwards went to a hayrick and lay down there, and was eventually taken to the Westbury• upon-Severn workhouse. Cross-examined—Left Ireland seven years. Have a child. Am not married. Had a brother on the railways, and was going to look for him. I was six or seven weeks in Bristol. I was not in the Nag's Head. I wag in the yard, not in the house. I left Coleford about two o'clock. I said nothing about 3d. I asked the second man to give me some water, and be did so, and I drank it, swallowing at the same time my sweat aid tears. Ann Jenkins proved that she met the prosecutrix on the road that morning about five o'clock, with her hands on her stomach, crying and roaring in a dread ful manner, and saying she bad been almost torn to pieces. William Ellison, a policeman, found the prosecu trix about three or four o'clock in the afternoon of the same day lying in a hayrick. She was so weak as not to be able to stand. A woman came and gave her a little wine, and he went to the overseer to get her removed to the workhouse. The surgeon of the union workhouse deposed to the weak and exhausted state of the prosecutrix when she was brought to the workhouse, and to the shocking state of laceration from which she suffered; and espe cially to an injury coused by James James using his hands in a most disgusting and brutal manner. Mr. Cools addreised the jury for the prisoners, and called a witness who knew one of them for three months, and gave him a character for that period. The evidence having been summed up, the jury de liberated for about a minute, and found all Guilty. His LORDSHIP then passed sentence, saying —Pri soners at the bar, you have been convicted on the clearest evidence of about the most abominable offence I have ever heard proved in a court of justice against men. You, and four other vagabonds like you, found a poor wretched woman in a lonely situation, and treated her in a manner that is shocking to state ; I am very glad, for my own sake, that the law has been lately altered, for though I believe there never was a judge on the bench less disposed to inflict severe punishment, yet, if the law had not been altered, be yond all manner of doubt three of you would be exe cuted. I should have felt it my bounden duty, for the protection of the women in this country from such brutality, to leave all of you for execution, except Stephens and Thomas James, who, bad as they were, treated the woman with some little kindness. With respect to the rest of you, I would be ashamed of my self if I did not inflict on you the heaviest punish ment the law allows. When a rape is committed by one man on a woman, it is as bad an offence as can well be committed; but when two or three combine to commit it, it is really an abomination.

Mr. SKINNER, having stated the case, called the following witnesses:— Elwin Butler said lam a labourer. I have lived for some time in the house of the prisoner at Stroud. He had three children. I had my daughter Eliza liv ing with me. There were three rooms in the house, one over the other. I lived in the middle room, and the prisoner and his wif e s l e pt i n th e gar r e t. The prisoner's wife was in the family way, and strong and healthy. On the 7th of July the prisoner came home. He had been on a journey as a travelling hawker that day. I heard him speaking to his wife on his return. When he came in he heard the pigs crying for victual s , an d h e said, 'I Why don't you give the pigs some victuals ?" She said it was the neighbours' pigs that were crying, and not theirs. He went out to the pigs and came in directiy, and asked " what was done with the sharps you ought to have bought to-day ?" and she said she had put them with the grains in the tub. He said, " No, you have been putting the money in your guts instead of buy ing sharps." He then took up his cap and came into my room, and said he had not sold a halfpennyworth that day. I made answer that he could not have all days alike ; some would be worse and some better. He said he would not maintain the kit ; he would not maintain her, and if he had known she was not so near her time he would have sent her to work. She ought to have been conflped a month ago. He then wanted as much potatoes as could be bad for three halfpence, and I said, " Whatis that among five of you ?" sad he said then they should not have any. He then went down stairs, and gave some money to a child to buy potatoes. He then went away. Had seen rows before, but never thought they would come to such a pass. He came back about twelve, and said to his wife, " You have got no candle." She said she had had but a farthing candle, and had only a snuff of it, and beard her get upend strike a light. He then asked her had she any supper, and she said it was in the window. He went up, and I believe he ate his supper. She was in the habit of sitting up for him. I have known her to sit up whole nights. While he was at his supper he said, " Where is my money ?" She said, " You know, Charley, I have got no money. He replied, "If I had not had such a bad wife I should have as much money as Joe Watts." Watts is a rich brewer. He said he would take his hat and go to Hannah. That was the name of a girl in Stroud. She said he should not go out that night without her. I then heard a noise in the bed room, and both fell down against the partition. When they fell against it she said, " For God's sake, Charley, get off me now! You have killed me now." They struggled again, and they fell to the lower or ground landing. She then said, "Oh Lord, Charley, thee bast done for me now, and that is what thee has been trying at for a long time." They then went up stairs, and she repeated "Thee bast finished me now ;" and he said, "I have not hurt thee, I know." I beard them struggling on the bed. This was Monday. William Armstrong, a medical practitioner at itroud, attended the deceased. She died on the Thursday. Held a post mortern examination, and found appearances such as might be caused by the injuries she was stated to have received. Cross-examined—Prisoner called on me to go and see her on the Thursday. He appeared very anxious to have me go up. When we arrived she was dead. attended her in her confinement, which took place on the Wednesday. His LORDSHIP having intimated his opinion that there was no ground for a charge of murder, and the evidence proved only a case of manslaughter, Mr.COOKE declined to address the jury, and they re turned a verdict of Guilty of manslaughter, the fore man at the same time saying, "The jury are desirous of calling your Lordship's attention to the prisoner's very rough usage to his wife in her delicate condition." He was then sentenced to transportation for life. NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Lancaster, Aug. 14. The Learned Judges on the circuit arrived in this city yesterday, from Liverpool, and this morning, after attending divine service, repaired to the courts At twelve o'clock. For several years past the judges, the bar, the at torneys, jurors, witnesses, and all who have bee❑ compelled to attend at these assizes, have complained of the excessive inconvenience which all suffer from the dreadful low, ill-ventilated, and wretchedly small courts in which the business of this great county is conducted, and notwithstanding all the inconvenience and discomfort, and the injury to health which results from the present state of these wretched buildings, and notwithstanding that a magnificent pile of build ing is already erected, to be occupied as law courts whenever the corporation of Liverpool shall think fit, year after year passes away and the same annoyance and injury to health is allowed to continue. The criminal calendar is very heavy, both in num ber and in the nature of the offences. There are 123 prisoners, and most probably before the assizes are concluded that number will be increased to 150. Of thoie now in the calendar 6 are charged with mur der, 26 with manslaughter, 6 with rape, 9 with cut ting and wounding, 15 with assault and robbery, 22 with burglary, 1 with arson, 3 with bigamy, 3 with forgery, the rest with various offences. NISI PRIUS COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice WILLIAms.) BROWN V. LEAKE. This was an action of trespass for an assault. Mr. Sergeant Wilkins and Mr. Monk appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Knowles, Q.C. (the Attorney- General of the County Palatine of Lancaster), for the defendant. Mr. Sergeant Wmxiais, in opening the case on behalf of the plaintiff, said—Once more, at the risk of our lives, we are assembled in this pestiferous place to discharge duties which require our close and daily attendance. Some sixteen years ago the corporation of Liverpool made a promise to the Home Secretary that if the assiz,.s should be brought from Lancaster to Liverpool they would provide fit and proper courts for the administration of justice. They have broken their faith, and have afforded another illustration of the adage " that a corporatio n will do what an indi vidual would shrink from doing with shame." Humarl life has more than once been sacrificed by these courts through the indolence of this corporation. I have myself been three times attacked with severe illness while attending in these courts, and if I thought the corporation could be goaded to do that,which it was their duty to do, I would say more than I have now done. The Learned Sergeant then proceeded to state the facts of the case, from which it appeared that on Friday, the 13th June, the plaintiff was at the Manchester races, and went into the grand stand. Oa a previous occasion the plaintiff and de fendant had met at a public-house named the White Bear, where a dispute had arisen between them con cerning a bet which the plaintiff had offered to make with the defendant relative to a municipal election, he being drunk at the time. This dispute led to an animosity between them, and on the day mentioned the defendant, seeing the plaintiff at the grand stand, seized him by the collar of his coat, and so led him out of the stand, and while doing so called him a d-- thief, a defaulter, and said that he had no right to be on the grand stand. No violence seemed to have been used, but the plaintiff sought damages for the gross indignity and insult which had been offered to his feelings, the insult having been offered before the checktaker and many persons to whom he was known. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL addressed.: the jury for the defendant, and urged upon them the fact, that, now when there were county courts and magistrates before whom the present cause of action could have been satisfactorily settled, it was a gross waste of the time of the jury and of the Learned Judge that such a case as the one before them should have been brought in the superior courts. The personal injury amounted to nothing, but his Learned Friend had said that the plaintiff required damages for the insult offered to his feelings by the language which had been used by the defendant, which he (the Attorney- General) could not defend, but the jury would recol lect the language which the plaintiff had used in reply to the defendant. The polite plaintiff said, " It's a lie." The assault had not been such as would injure the wings of a fly, and they would give damages in proportion to the injury sustained, and he hoped that they would turn such a trumpery case out of court as it deserved, and award (as they must find a verdict for the plaintiff) the smallest coin of the realm, W hi c h would be adequate and ample compensation, and make Mr. Leake a wiser and, when he came to pay the bill of his attorney, a sadder man. His LORDSHIP then left the case to the jury to award damages. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Da mages, one farthing. members of a Dissenting congregation at Bury, and teachers in the Sunday•school, where their acquaint ance had commenced. The defendant having paid his attentions to the plaintiff, was accepted as her suitor, but the engagement was broken off, the plain tiff having received an anonymous letter, casting imputations on the defendant's moral character, which the plaintiff called upon him to clear up. After the engagement was broken off the plaintiff went out as a nursery governess, hut, at the defendant's earnest request, she returned home again, and the ac quaintance was again renewed. The plaintiff having a slight pustule on her forehead, the de fendant persuaded her to go to a druggist's with him to get a plaster, which he said would soon cure it. On their way to the druggist's they passed the defendant's house, and the defendant induced her to go into his house under the pretence that be had something particular to show her. No one was in the house, and the defendant took the opportunity of depriving her of her senses by some means or other, and effected her ruin. She threatened to expose his villany, but he begged and entreated her not to do so, and promised to marry her if she would only keep the secret, which she did until she divulged it to her sister, who, repeatedly finding her in tears, extorted the secret from her. After this the plaintiff met the defendant walking with another young lady, and the pain and jealousy caused by this occurrence threw her into a fit of hysterics, which caused her to be taken home and put to bed, and soon after she told her mother what had taken place. The mother im mediately went to the defendant's house and re proached him with what had occurred. At first he affected ignorance, but finding that failed, and that the plaintiff was pregnant by him, he told the plain tiff's mother not to make a fuss about it ; that it was a common occurrence—the folly of youth. The mother said, " Yes, amongst the lowest of the low, but not amongst respectable people." The defendant then said, " Well, Mrs. Walker, dry up your tears ; I cannot possibly be married at present, but I will marry your daughter at Christmas," and upon this the mother was induced to allow the defendant to visit the plaintiff, but o❑ the Bth of December last, the de fendant having ceased his visits, the plaintiff's mother called upon him and told him that her child's shame was becoming apparent, and that it was time he should fulfil his promise, upon which he replied that something had transpired, and that he could not be married. Mrs. Walker replied that she could not bear to hear him talk as he did, after the manner in which he had treated her daughter. And then the defendant said, " I will tell you the truth. I don't mean to marry her at all." Mrs. Walker then said that she would go to law with him if he did not ; and he replied, that she might do so if she liked. The plaintiff was confined of a child in February. Shortly before which event the defendant offered to give the plaintiff 1/. a week if she would leave Bury during her confinement, which she would not consent to do. Under these circumstances, the present action was brought. Mr. 'WATSON having addressed the jury for the defendant, His LORDSHIP, in summing up, told the jury that they would give the plaintiff such damages as they thought she was entitled to for the loss of a marriage with a man well to do in the world. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff— Damages, 350/. On the civil side there are seventy-four causes entered, fourteen of which are marked special juries. August 15. CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Mr. Justice WILLIAMS.) ARTHUR V. PEDDEE. This was an action brought to recover 2801., the price of two carriage horses. The defendant pleaded, first, the general issue, and, secondly, that he had been induced to purchase the horses by the fraud, covin, and misrepresentation of the plaintiff. Mr. Sergeant Wilkins and Mr. Cowling appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Watson, Q.C., and Mr. Crompton for the defendant. It appeared that the plaintiff is Colonel Arthur, of the 3d Dragoons, and the defendant was formerly a cornet in the same regiment, but is now exchanged into the 39th Foot. Colonel Arthur in May last, while at Manchester, had two showy carriage horses of high action, one of which was called " Governor," and the other " Gaoler." The defendant took a fancy to these horses, and got Mrs. Arthur, the plaintiff's wife, to persuade Colonel Arthur to sell them to him. Colonel Arthur did not want to dispose of them, but was persuaded by Mrs. Arthur to sell them to the defendant. It appeared that Mrs. Arthur un derstood horses well, and was in the habit of writing the colonel's notes for him respecting his horses. Colonel Arthur at length agreed to sell the horses for 2801., and wished the defendant to have them examined by a veterinary surgeon before he removed them, and would not warrant them. The defendant, however, would not have them examined, as a veteri nary surgeon would be sure to pick out some fault with them. After this the plaintiff twice requested to be off his bargain, as his wife had persuaded him to sell the horses, which he did not want to do, and offered the defendant 51. to do so, which the defendant refused. When the defendant looked at " Governor" for the purpose of purchasing him, " Governor" was standing in the stable on tan, and was blistered. Mr. Shaw, the veterinary surgeon of the regiment, told the defendant that both horses were unsound, but did not tell him in what respect. He told him they would not do to carry weight over the stones, but they would do to drive. The natural formation of the feet of one of them would tend to lameness. After this, on the 14th of May, the defendant removed the horses to London, having agreed to pay for them at the end of May. When he bad driven the horses in London in a phaeton and brougham, he told Lieut. Hill that he was well satisfied with his bargain. The horses, however, became lame in London, and the de fendant refused then to pay for them, and on the 9th June sent them to Mr. Field, the veterinary surgeon of Oxford-street, who pronounced one of the horses to be aged, the other to be six years old. The " Governor" was found to be lame on the off hind leg, spavined in his hock—he had a splint on his fore leg, and wiudgalk in the fetlock joint. The other horse had got the navicular disease in the off fore-foot. The defendant sent to the plaintiff a certificate to this effect, which the plaintiff refused to receive; and after a good deal of correspondence demanded immediate payment for his horses, and threatened legal proceedings, and in one letter used the terms, " I should, as your com manding officer and a friend, advise you to be cau tious, as the result of the legal proceedings may in volve your character as an officer and a gentleman." The plaintiff refused to pay for the horses, and the present action was therefore brought. For the defence, Mr. WATSON commented at some length on the impropriety of a commanding officer selling horses to his junior officers. It led to disputes and mischief, and was discountenanced in the service. Cornet Pedder, a young man of 26 years of age, had purchased these horses of his older and experienced Commanding officer, and had given the enormous price of 2801. for horses spavined, wind-galled, lame, and unsound. It could not be supposed that he would have done anything of the kind unless he had believed the horses to be sound. He rested his case on the plea of fraud. He should prove that the horse " Go vernor" was purchased at Nottingham in 1848, and was then known by Mrs. Arthur and by Colonel Arthur to be unsound, and yet not a word of the na ture of his unsoundness had been mentioned to the defendant. The grooms of the defendant who drove the horses in the carriages were called, who proved that a day or two after the horses arrived in London they " pot tered" as they came out of the stable-door, and one " bobbed his head," and the other went lame. They told their master, and had " Governor" shod. He had been shod with leather stuffing under his shoes, and they had him shod without leather. He got more lame. Both horses were afterwards examined by Mr. Field, the veterinary surgeon, who gave evi dence to the effect opined by the Learned Counsel for the defence. It was also proved by Captain Dyson, of the 3d Dragoons, that he had been present on one occasion when the regiment was being inspected by General Brotherton, and that he had heard him ask the plaintiff if he was in the habit of selling horses to his officers, or permitting such transactions in the re giment ? The plaintiff replied that he did not permit it. The witness had sold horses himself to younger officers in the regiment. This was the - defendant's case. Mr. Sergeant WILKEis, in reply, said that great part of the Learned Counsel for the plaintiff's speech had had nothing to do with the case. Thera was also such a thing as unsound law as well as unsound horses, and if the law affecting the case which had been explained to the jury by his Learned Friend were determined on by a good judge it would be de termined to be " cowgalled, spavined, lame of four legs, and blind of both eyes. '—(A. laugh.) Hi s Learned Friend had introduced the defendant as a poor innocent young man, upon whose youth and in experience the plaintiff had palmed off two unsound horses. He had asked them to judge of the purchase by the defendant as though he had just been severed from his mamma, and was quite inexperienced. He had implored them to • Pity the sorrows of a poor young man Who has suffered heavy losses, By pleasuring about the town Awl by Iliocng '0135e5." [PRICE SD. —(Loud laughter.) His friend had taken his stand upon the plea of fraud. He ventured to submit that there was not the slightest evidence to sustain that plea. Lieutenant Pedder had been five years in the army, and was as well acquainted with a horse as the plaintiff. His friend had termed these horses " shaken old screws. " It was not to be supposed that if they were so the defendant was ignorant of what they were. They had been described as one standing on tan and blistered when he bought them. It could not have been supposed that the plaintiff blistered the horse for amusement. 'With reference to the evidence of Captain Dyson, it had nothing to do with the case, and had been called for the purpose of annoying Colonel. Arthur. It was not shown that Col. Arthur had on any other occasion sold horse s to his officers. The defendant had taken a fancy to the horses, and was resolved to have them ; and, knowing that the plaintiff would not sell them, had asked Mrs. Arthur to use the legitimate influence which all wives did use, to persuade Colonel Arthur to sell the horses to him. The value of a horse often de pended on this fancy. The Learned Counsel on the other side had often enough been seen riding a favourite bay hors e i n th e par k s w i t h a great scar across his knees ; yet he knew his value, and would not part with hi m f or any pr i ce. How often they had seen a delicate lady walking or riding in the park:, with a great, heavy, fat lapdog on her arm, for which no one would give five shillings, but for which, pro bably, she would not take 501., if offered to her. Then your fine gentlemen, and fashionable young men about town liked showy horses, with high action—tremen dous steppers—horses that almost struck their noses with their knees, which a good honest butcher who wanted to get over the ground could not have at any price. The defendant had seen the horses in constant use for two years, and knew them well, and it was at his own earnest request that they had been sold to him. After he had got them to London, heihad ex pressed to Lieutenant Hill his satisfaction with them, and had kept them three weeks before he bad them examined by a veterinary surgeon, and had exercised acts of ownership over them by having them shod, and he had no right afterwards to turn round and shuffle of the payment for them, and break his pro raise. His LORDSHIP, in summing up, said the issue for the jury to determine was whether, when the defen dant bought the horses that plaintiff knew that the defendant was labouring under an error in supposing the horses to be sound, and permitted him to continue under that error, and under the influence of that im pression to purchase the horses. The jury, after a short consultation, found a ver dict for the plaintiff—Damages, 2801. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Edwin Wood was brought before the Lord Mayor charged with having fraudulently obtained a blank cheque-book, containing 100 cheques, from the bank ing -house of Messrs. Masterman and Co. Mr. Edward Ireland, clerk to Messrs. Masterman and Co., said—Yesterday morning the prisoner came to the banking-house and requested that I would give him a cheque-book for Mr. Henry Hodson Hathe, who keeps an account with us. I accordingly gave him a cheque-book containing 100 blank cheques, be lieving that the statement he made was correct. Here a torn cheque was produced. It was for 351., and was signed for procuration of H. H. Hathe. Mr. Henry Hodson Hathe said,—l carry on busi ness at No. 2, Pancras-lane, as a merchant. I never authorised the prisoner to apply to Messrs. Master man for a cheque-book, although I have a banking account with that firm. I was perfectly ignorant that he had made any application for a cheque-book in my name till yesterday morning, when I was apprised of the fact. Mr. Francis Dodd—l am a jeweller, and carry on business at 40, Cornhill. The prisoner made an ap plication to me respecting the purchase of a watch on Monday last. He said that he had been " drawn" of his own watch, and he selected one of mine at 251., and a gold chain at 81. 10s. He said he would either take it or I might send it. I told him I ha I better send it. I did not see him again until yesterday, when he called at my shop, and he brought with him the cheque book. He asked me the amount of the watch and the chain, and I replied 331. 103. He asked me for a pen, and filled up the cheque now produced for 331. 10s. I objected to it on account of its being crossed. He then wrote the words upon it " uncrossed, E. W." I still objected to it, on the ground that no banker would pay it. I said "Cannot you give me another ?" He said he would, if I would give him a stamped receipt ; and he added that he always liked to cross his cheques. He then tore up the first cheque and threw it on the ground, and wrote me a fresh cheque for 351. I handed it to my lad, with directions to go and get it cashed, and get a stamped receipt. Shortly afterwards Mr. Ireland came to my shop, and the prisoner was given into the custody of a policeman. The LORD Mayon, after giving the prisoner the usual caution, asked him what he had to say in answer to the charge ? The prisoner replied he had nothing to say, but asked to be admitted to bail. Die LORD MAYOR—It is a case in which I cannot take bail. TV 0 R S HIP-STREET. A well-dressed man, named John Hackett, a brother of the notorious convict who effected his escape about eight months since from the Model Prison, Penton vine, was placed at the bar for final examination be fore Mr. Hammill, charged with the commission of numerous daring robberies. The prisoner was, in the first instance, taken into custody upon a charge of having been concerned, with ly hers, in stealing three bales of silk, of the value of 1131, which was abstracted in a mysterious manner from a barge lying off Nicholson's Wharf, in the month of June last; but it was now intimated to the magistrate by Sergeant Teakle, who, in conjunction with Inspector Brydges, of the Thames police, bad effected the capture of the accused, that in consequence of the non-attendance of some material witnesses, whose evidence was necessary to substantiate the charge, and who were supposed to be keeping pur posely out of the way, it was impossible to proceed further at present in the prosecution of the case. A second charge, however, was now preferred against the prisoner for being concerned, with another man, not in custody, in stealing a package, containing from 1,200 to 1,400 yards of calico, the property of Mr. Henry Newman, linendraper, in Hampton -ter race, Camden Town. The property in question was stolen from the pro secutor's shop-door on the morning of the 26th ult., and a lad named Robert Dennis, in the service of a tradesman in the neighbourhood, identified the pri soner as being one of two men who drove up to the door at the time ill question in a cart, from which they both alighted, and, placing the package inside, hastily reentered it, and drove off with the booty. The prisoner, who reserved his defence by the ad vice of Mr. Heritage, who appeared on his behalf, was fully committed for trial. The prisoner was next charged, in conjunction with a young woman, named Mary Ann King, with having stolen a can, containing about seven gallons of turpentine, under similar circumstances, from the shop-door of Mr. William Watkins, an oil and co lourman, in Cumberland-terrace, Camden-town. To establish the charge against the female prisoner as an accessory after the fact, it was proved by the prosecutor that on the evening of the day on which Hackett underwent his first examination at this court, the woman called at his house, and after adverting in a jocular manner to the circumstances of the robbery, and intimating that the property had been merely taken away " out of a lark" by three drunken men, presented him with a sovereign, as part compensation for his loss, and assured him that she would call again in a few days and indemnify him for the entire amount. The prisoner, however, never repeated her visit, and nothing more was seen of her until she was taken into custody at the door of this court. The can of turpentine was produced by Sergeant Teakle, who had discovered the property secreted in a stable in the occupation of the prisoner Hackett at the time of his apprehension. Formal evidence was then given of a previous con viction against Hackett, who was tried and foun d _41,„, g uilty of felony at the Old Bail e y, i n March, 1, 6 . for which he was sentenced to eighteen months im prisonment. inanswer The prisoners decli ne d say i ng a nything to the charge, and were b o th committed for trial . S OUTH IV ARK. . ALLEGED ASSAULT ON A RAILWAY IaVAE.D, BY AN e latter part of the OFFICER I N THE ARMY.—L- th day Lie u t enan t Bradshaw, of the hoyal Artillery, /now , to complain about a papersattended before Mr Ingha m, of the evening r a a p a p t e e r a n r a nncaeiltwoaya s summons taken out b y the report which appeared some.l. n on Thursday, relati ve to South Company, for a n alleged assault on one of their guars. d Th e tenor of the report mad e it appear that from answering t h e was shirking the complaint, and that b e had misbehaved himself in an ungentle manly manner, but he begged to inform his Worship that such was not the case. He was ready, and had been so at any time to receive the summons, and meet an y charge that might be m a d e against him. He certainly had not been allotted quarters yet in the Woolwich garrison, but still he did duty there ; and as soon hs ha heard that An officer of that court (7, __,,-. I had een to serve him with a summons, he requested prties ere to state that he could be found at Long a Hotel ould the officer return with the summons Some misunderstanding, however, took place between the parties, and the officer returned on Thursday un successful. Perceiving the report in the papers, and thinking that it might he prejudicial to him as a gen . tleman and an officer in her Majesty's service, he thought it advisable to attend before his Worship;and state that he was not only ready to meet the complaint, but to make a charge against the railway guard for assaulting him. Guest, the summoning officer, said he had cre- L tainly been unsuccessful in serving the process when he went to Woolwich in the first instance; but that morning he had been treated with the greatest cour tesy by the adjutant and one of the commanding officers at Woolwich while in search of the applicant. The adjutant received the summons, and informed him that the lieutenant would attend to the complaint on the day named in the summons. Mr. INGnam told the applicant that he knew no thing of what appeared in the newspapers, but if he was ready to meet the complaint of the railway com pany he had better attend on the day named in the summons with any witness he might have. Lieut. Bradshaw—l was assaulted by the railway guard while in charge of her Majesty's troops, and I think I ought to be protected. Cannot you grant me a summons, your Worship ? Guest here informed the magistrate that the sum mons taken out against the lieutenant was for assault ing George Richardson, one of the guards, on the evening of the Bth inst. Lieut. Bradshaw—But I was assaulted, before all my men, by the guard in the first instance ; therefore, being on her Majesty's service, I claim protection against the railway guard. Mr. INGusau said that if such was the case he would grant a summons, and order it to be heard on the same day with the other. He directed Guest to take care and serve it in time to be disposed of on the same day. Air. Arnold, a gentleman connected with an office in the City, was charged with assaulting and annoy ing Mr. John Butcher in one of the carriages on the North Kent Railway. Complainant stated that he was coming up from 'Woolwich, in one of the second-class carriages, in which he saw defendant and several females. The defendant appeared to have been drinki ng, and. put his feet on the opposite seat to which he had been sit. ting, when the complainant told him not to do so, but sit in a gentlemanly way. He refused to put hie feet down, although witness wanted to sit there, and when he remonstrated with him he took witness by the arm and shook him violently. He made no com plaint to any of the guards on the railway, and should not have given him in charge, but for his calling him ugly names. Defendant—What did I call you ? Complainant —An " ugly humbug," and that you repeated all the way up. Defendant denied the assault, and contended that if he had any charge to make he ought to have done so to the railway authorities. He had actually left the station some time and had partaken of some re freshments at the corner of Duke-street, when com plainant came up to him with a policeman and gave him in charge. He acknowledged having his feet on the seat, which could not have interfered with com plainant, who was sitting some distance off on the other side, and very likely he might have called him a humbug. Complainant—You kept calling out " look at the old humbug" all the way up, and I felt annoyed. A respectable young female was called on behalf of the defendant and denied the assault. She, however, said he called the complainant an ugly humbug. He had been drinking a little. Complainant—Yes, he had been drinking, and I could not bear the smell of his breath, for I have been a teetotaller these last fifteen years. Mr. INGHAM said the fact of Mr. Arnold being charged at the station-house and locked up, would, no doubt, satisfy Mr. Butcher, if he made him an apology ; and he should advise the defendant not to annoy any one else in a railway carriage. Mr. Butcher accepted the apology, and defendant was discharged from custody. WANDS WORTH. REVIVAL OF AN OLD DODGE.—John Wilson, alias Wright, a young man well known to the police as an associate of thieves, was brought before Mr. Beadon for final examination on the charge of stealing two great coats and two neckerchiefs of the value of 8/. from the hall of Devonshire House, Wandsworth road, in the occupation of Mr. Edmund Jye. From the evidence adduced by the witnesses, it appeared that on Thurday morning, the 7th inst., the prisoner was observed by two police-constables of the V division, named Blackburn and Spice, who were in plain clothes, walking along the Wandsworth-road, with a large black bag similar to the one used by Jews, twisted across his arm. As he passed along he looked over the various fences and railings into the private houses, apparently for the purpose of taking the ad vantage of any door that might be left open, and entering the hall, and carrying away in the bag any property that was lying about. The officers suspect ing his designs, followed him, and saw him eater the gate of Devonshire House. He then opened the hall door, and entered, where he remained some minutes. Soon after wards he quitted the premises, and his black bag appeared to contain something bulky. The ser vant girl employed in the service of Mr. Jye saw the prisoner leave the house, and called after him. The prisoner instantly ran off, and shot two coats and neckerchiefs from the bag into the road. He was pursued and stopped by Spice, who found the black bag in his possession. Tne prisoner said nothing to the charge. Charlotte Figg, the servant girl, identified the coats and neckerchiefs as the property of her master, and said they were hanging up in the hall just before the prisoner was seen to leave the premises. The catch of the hall-door was very insecure, and could easily be opened by any person on the outside. Spice, the constable, said he had made inquiries about the prisoner's character, and ascertained that he had been summarily convicted for stealing a coat under similar circumstances. That system of rob bery was very much on the increase, and thieves were in the habit of carrying the black bags for the purpose of concealing their intentions. If they were found upon gentlemen's premises, they would ask if there were any old clothes to sell, and assume the airs of the Jews. _ _ The prisoner, having received the usual caution from the magistrate, declined to say anything in his defence ; and Mr. BEADON fully committed him for trial. MELANCHOLY DEATH BY DROWNING. On Thursday evening an inquest was held in the Town Hall, Gravesend, before Mr. adder, Coroner for the borough, on the body o f Ch ar l es C oney, who was drowned on the previous day. It appeared from the evidrnce, that the deceased, who was twenty-five b ears of age, and a native of Birming ham, had corns to Gravesend on Wednesday, in corn. party with his wife, to whom he had been but recently married, and his father and brother, from London, where 1 they had been to visit the Great Exhibition.
