THE SUN, CBAP►ING-CROSS BRIDGE COMPANY. On Saturday the half-yearly meeting of this com pany was held at No. 9, Villiers-street, Strand, for the purpose of receiving the directors' report, and for the transaction of other business—Mr. Coles Child in the chair._ _ _ The report states the amount of tolls for the half year ending July 31 to be 3,539/. 19s. 9d., being more by 421/. Bs. 2d. than the receipts for the corre sponding period of the previous year. The directors express their belief that the litigation in which the company has been so long involved is at an end. The expenditure arising out of arrangements with the Exchequer Loan Commissioners, on account of law costs and Parliamentary proceedings, has been consi derable ; and the liabilities, after the payments al ready made, are estimated at 1,9001., of which about 1,1001. is chargeable to revenue. The declaration of a dividend is postponed until the payment of 12,000/., for which the directors are responsible, is made. An Act for the creation of preference share capital was passed last session, and the directors, in accordance with its provisions, recommend the creation of 1,000 shares of 251. each, with guaranteed interest of 6 per cent., the deposit on each share to be 6/. 55., with three subsequent calls to the same amount. The mortgage and bonded debt, with liabilities on account of capital, will then stand at 21,0041., to be still fur ther reduced by the sale of the company's wharf. The financial statement annexed to the report showed e balance on the capital stock account of 15,395/. ; on the revenue account, 1,880/. 163. 11d. ; and on the eighth-share account, 9111. 03. 10d.; the general ba lance being 16,925/. 17s. M. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the re port, said the balance on hand would allow of a divi dend of rather more than two per cent., but for the reasons given in the report it was deemed advisable not to declare a dividend on the present occasion. He congratulated them on the increase that had taken place in the tolls for the half-year, as showing that they had now turned the corner in their affairs, after the various difficulties they had had to contend with, and only needed their zealous co-operation to render it a profitable and prosperous undertaking. The report having been adopted, Mr. Robert Few was chosen a director in the room of Mr. Ruda'', who declined being again placed on the board. Dr. Moore, who had retired by rotation, was again elected. On the CHAIRMAN proposing Mr. Hawes, one of the retiring directors, fir re election, Mr. EINMORE submitted an amendment, substi tuting the name of Mr. T. Clark, in lieu of the first named gentleman. The amendment was supported by Mr. FEW, who at some length referred to the part taken by Mr. Hawes in the proceedings of the company, and ex pressed his doubts whether, if elected, he could co operate harmoniously with his coadjutors in the direction. Mr. HAWE3 defended the course he had adopted on various occasions, and especially in reference to ob taining the late Act of Parliamant, and said he had at all times acted to the best of his power for the in terests of the shareholders. After some further discussion, the amendment was put to the vote and carried by 11 ; Mr. Clark being, by this decision, chosen a director in the place of Mr. Hawes. A vote of 3001. to the directors for their services having been agreed to, The meeting was then made special, to consider the propriety of raising additional capital by the crea tion of preference shares ; and a resolution was moved by the Chairman empowering the directors to take the necessary steps to raise such capital to the amount of 25,000/. An amendment, proposed by Mr. Few, limiting the amount to 20,0001., led to a considerable discussion ; on a division, however, the resolution was carried by a majority of 9 ; the numbers, includ ing proxies, being 172 to 163. The CHAIRMAN observed that if the sum of 20,0001. was found by the directors sufficient for the purposes they had in view, they would certainly limit them selves to that amount. Thanks having been given to the Chairman and directors, the meeting separated. SEABORNE MATES.

COSTUME.—We are, by the kind ness of a correspondent, enabled to inform the ladies of Not tingham that the wife of an artist, and a late townswoman of theirs, but who now resides in London, has recently adopted the Bloomer costume, and has hitherto been well received. She has appeared in most parts of the metropolis alone, and has not, we are told, met with a single rude observation. She is habited in deep mourning, which gives the costume a very genteel appearance, though there is nothing particularly striking about it. The dress is of black crape, falling below the knee; trousers of black silk, very full and drawn round the ancle with elastic cord, which allows them to hang grace fully over a cashmere boot with military heel ' • corded silk jacquette trimmed with crape, over which is thrown, en ne glig6 a crape scarf; the head-dress, which is between a hat and a bonnet, is made of drawn crape and silk, without trim ming; it is, however, exceedingly tasty and elegant, and ex tremely becoming. The only ornaments worn are jet brace lets and a jet anchor, which confines the jacquette below the waist. The dress is altogether easy and graceful, and seems completely to put out of countenance the lady street-sweepers of London.— Nottingham Journal.

The C o l o gne Gazette states from Presburg of the 21st ult., that some of the Rabbis have been accused of having had money collected for the persons de tained at lilutaia. Their papers have been seized, , an d an investigation instituted. The chief Rabbi, when interrogated, declared that the money was collected for the Jews of Jerusalem. Orders have been given by the Government to put an end to such collections. A letter from Prague of the 23d ult. says, " More lndivitduals have been j u st arrested. They are accused of having taken part in the Mazzinist intrigues." The Government of Vienna has forbidden, says the Breslag Gazette, the exhibition of all portraits of the leaders of the Hungarian revolution. The German Journal of Frankfort states that the commerce of Trieste is menaced with a new Belgian- Turkish Steam Navigation Company. The vessels of the new company are to serve the ports of Spain, Portugal, the Archipelago, and Trebisond. Eight vessels are ready to commence. THE HUNGARL 4 —EXTRAORDINARY IMPOSTUdE AND SUDDEN DEATH. BIUMINGIIAM, SATURDAY.—The public office this morning was crowded with persons anxious to hear the exam ination of a woman who represented herself to be a Hungarian lady of distinction, bearing the title of the Baroness von Beck, whose husband was killed in the barricades of Vienna, at the time of the Hungarian revolution ; and also of Constant Darra, a prepossessing and accomplished young man, who acted as the Baroness's agent and secretary, and is connected by relationship with one of the most re spectable families in Hungary. The prosecution was stated to be at the instance of an association formed in London, of which Lord Dudley Stuart is the pre sident, for the protection and support of the Hungarian refugees. Mr. Toulmin Smith, barrister, from London, ap peared as counsel for the prosecution. When the proceedings were about to commence, and the prisoners were expected to be placed at the bar, Mr. Stephens, the chief superintendent of police, hurriedly entered the court, and exclaimed, " She's dead !" The inquiry was " who ?" Mr. Stephens replied, " the Baroness." This announcement pro duced a great and painful sensation. Upon leaving the code, we found the woman lying dead upon the floor of an ang=room. She appeared to be about 54 years of age, awl was dressed in black silk. The court was, as might be expected, much excited by the dreadful occurrence. Upon inquiry we found the de ceased had during the morning, while in prison, cpm plained of serious illness, and upon her removal from her cell up to the court was apparently much ex btrusted. Upon her arrival m the room d m t which . . she subsequently died, she was a . ccommo a ed with a chair, and almost instantly expired. Constance Darra having been placed at the bar, Mr. Smith, in a long address, proceeded to st a t e the case against t he p risoner and his deceased com panion. They came to Birmingham about thr ee i weeks ago, when they nstantly gained admissi on i n t o th e houses of respectable families, and were most hospitably and kindly entertained. Amon gs t o th ers o f whose intimacy and friendship they availed them selves was Mr. George Dawson. The female repre sented herself as a Hungarian lady, named Baroness von Beck. who was disti ngu i s h e d a t C our t i n th e reign of , and who su b seq uently became theintimate friend of Governor Kossuth. Her hus band had commanded in the Hungarian forces, and was killed at the barricades in Vienna. The Baroness had published a work professing to be a history of her adventures, and issued a prospectus to publish another under the title of " The Story of my Life." Mr. Dawson was known to be deeply interested in all that concerned the struggles in which the Hun garians had been engaged in defence of the laws and liberties inherited by their fathers, and finding that gentlemen in Liverpool and Birmingham had entered their names as subscribers for the work which the lady proposed to publish, he gave his name also, and paid 11. 45., the amount of the subscription, to the male prisoner who acted as the Baroness's agent or secretary. The prisoner and the woman were at this time staying at the Clarendon Hotel, but in consequence of the interest which Mr. Dawson took in the circum stances of the lady, they subsequently removed, by invitation, to the house of a gentleman residing in Edgbaston, where they remained until the previous night . , when they were apprehended on the present charge. Mr. Smith said he should be able to prove that the statements made in the Baroness's published work were fabrications—that there was no such per son as Baroness von Beck residing in Hungary dur ing the late war—that no officer of that name was killed at the barricades—that the woman who repre sented herself as Baroness von Beck was nothing more than a paid spy in the Hungarian service—and that she was a Viennese, not a Hungarian woman. He would produce before the court as a witness the gentleman who acted as Home Secretary during the governorship of Kossuth. He identified the female as a woman of low origin, whom he had twice seen in the ante-room of Kossuth, but who was employed by another woman, her superior in office, as a spy during the Hungarian war. He could alo prove, if it were necessary, that many of those occurrences which in her published hook were stated to be facts, were phy sically impossible, and that the work was a tissue of falsehoods. The Mayor wished to know whether Mr. Smith could connect the prisoner with the misrepresenta tions to which he referred? Mr. Smith replied that he could, and said he now came to a very painful part of the case. He should prove, by the production of a letter from Mr. Charles de Soden, interpreter to the London police force, to Madame Pulski, the lady of the late Hungarian En voy, that the so-called Baroness had lately been employed as a spy by the recently established foreign branch of the English police force, and that she re ceived 51. 16s. 81. to betray the Hungarian refugees. The following is a copy of the intergreter's letter : " My dear Madam Pulski,—ln regly to the inquiry contained in your kind note, I beg to assure you that the person styling herself the Baroness von Beck is the same who, accompanied by Dr. Hemiman, offered per sonally her services as a spy and informer to the recently established foreign branch of the English police force. This I know from good authority, and I know likewise that, for a fortnight or three weeks, she . has obtained for such services 51. les. ad. per week. It is also no secret to me that the soi-disant Baroness introduced herself to the Commissioners of Police by forwarding a letter, written by Dr. fleraiman, and containing an enclosure which consisted of some articles and regulations adopted by an association of the German committee in London. With regard to Michilozy, he himself has admitted to me that the Baroness instigated him to the attack on your husband, and that she defrayed all the expenses of the subseqaent proceedings. Should it be required, I will with much pleasure substantiate the above state mentr . by the production of un exce pti ona bl e ev id ence . 'Trusting you will u.e your best endeavours in placing the illiterate she impostor before the country in her true character, I am yours, ez,c., " CHARLES DE SODEN." These were among some of the main facts which would have been adduced against the deceased woman. With respect to the male prisoner he (Mr. Smith) believed that he was of a good and noble family. The prisoner had, however, throughout acted with the female, and there could be little doubt that he was aware of her character and misrepresentations. They had, how ever, no desire to press the charge severely against him. For some years, owing to irregularities, it was understood that h e had been separated from his family. It was hoped that the painful circumstances in which he was now placed would operate beneficially upon his future conduct; if so, the lesson he now received would not he lost upon him, Mr. G. Dawson deposed that the prisoner called upon him at his house in Eigbaston on the 6th of August. lie stated himself to be the friend of the Baroness von Beck, and produced a book purporting to be her adventures during the Hungarian war. On the Friday following the prisoner called, in company with the lady, whom he introduced as the Baroness. He presented him with a proposal for the publication of a new work. The Baroness stated that she was a Hungarian lady, and the intimate friend of K os _ suth. In consequence of these statements, an d the names of other gentlemen who had become subscribers, he became 3 subscriber and paid 11. 4s. Ha ;nvited them to meet some friends the next day, some of whom spoke German. The Baroness did not speak French, which he thought rather strange fur a Court l a dy. On the Monday morning witness was informed by the prisoner that the Baroness was ill at the Clarendon Hotel, and he re q u ested Mr. Crompton, the surge on , t o attend her. r • Crompto n reported that she was very ill, and that unless she had a change of air in all probability she would die. having at that time no suspicion of an „imposture, witness saw that she was well lodged and housed in a country situation The prisoner d ec li ned ask. ing Mr. Dawson any qu estions. He saidle was licit a friend of the Baro ne*-0019 an acquaintance, Mr. Tyndale, Jun., solicitor, of Edgbaston, deposed that he first saw the prisoner, in c om p an y w ith th e 'lr• Dawson. Several Baroness, at the house of other persons were present. On the Sunday morn ing, hearing that the Baron ess was ill, h e ca ll e d at the Clarendon Hotel be fore h e went to ch urc h. I n consequence of her indisposition he invited her to his house, to which the Baroness removed about a fort night ago, and had been there up to last night, w h o , she was apprehended by Mr. Stephens. She fre quently spoke of her intimacy and friendship with prisoner had C(fß'',..l Kossuth with great emotion. On such occasions re - , --- :1i - e• ears would start into her ers.

Mr. Tyndale on t://e7e,4.,e/ ecludinis his evidence stated th a t h e h a d n ever met . _ 0 :i t 0 ark a more gentlemanly or accomplished young wan , than the prisoner, and that nothing but a sense of duty induced him to appear before the Court on that occasion. M. Paul llayvik, late Member of the Hungarian Diet for the county of Waitzgn, and formerly Chief Commissioner of Police for the United Kingdom of Hungary and Transylvania, deposed that the safety of prisoners and all civil matters were under his jurisdic tion and control. He recollected a woman named Racidula, and saw her in Mr. Tyndale's house the previous night. She was sitting in a room along with other company, and he saw her from the garden through an open window. She was then taken into custody by the police. The same woman was a paid spy in the Hungarian service. Another woman was the chief spy, and Racidula acted in a subordinate character. Witness had known Kossuth personally for many years. Racidula had no intimacy with him. He had seen her twice in an ante-room when he was by Kossuth requested to give her and the other woman passports in feigned names. There is a noble family of the name of Beck in Hungary, but the de ceased did not belong to it. He knew all the females of the family. She never was a friend of Kossuth ; if she had been he must have known it. She was an Austrian woman of low birth, extremely vulgar. The prisoner, in his defence, stated that he became acquainted with the Baroness on her return from Liverpool, and that she had requested him t o obtain subscriptions for her. He ,believed her to be what she represented herself. To him the connexion had been unfortunate, and he was sorry that he had had an acquaintance with such a woman. He was, how ever, quite innocent of any crime. M. Hayvik said he knew the father .. and family of the prisoner ; one more honourable cad not exist in Hungary. The Mayor, after a few minutes' deliberation with the other magistrates, directed that the prisoner be discharged, and compliment Mr. Dawson, Mr. Tyn dale, and other gentle men, u p on the kindness of their conduct. Mr. Smith defended M. Pulski from any charge which might be brought against him for not sooner exposing the real character of the Baroness. Mr. Dawson begged to say a few words to the Court. It might appear strange and cruel that the prisoner when suffering from illness (and who had come to so awful a death) should have been removed to a prison; but the fact was, that on Thursday e vening she danced in a waltz, and they did not con , ceive under such circumstances that her apprehension would be followed by suc h l amen t a bl e resu lt s . Certain papers found in the possession of the Baroness are said to di s cl o s e a f o r m id a ble c o n spiracy. They are in possession of Mr. Smith the barrister. The sittings of the August adjourned general ses sion of the peace were resumed this morning at the Guildhall, Broad Sanctuary, Westminster, by ad journment from Clerkenwell, before Mr. Sergeant Adams, Assistant-Judge, Mr. Thompson, and Mr. Booking. There are seventy-eigbt cases for trial, sixty-five of them being felonies, and the others mis demeanors. The court was full at the hour of sit ting, and some interest appeared to be occasion by the renewal of sessions in the city of Westminster. The grand jury having been sworn, The Learned JUDGE proceeded to deliver a length ened charge, respecting the nature and objects of the new Act for the administration of criminal justice in the county of Middlesex. The following is the con clusion of this charge :—The police-courts locally situate within the city and liberty of Westminster are those of Bow-street, Great Marlborough-street, and Westminster ; and of the other police-courts, those of Hammersmith and Marylebone-street are most conveniently situated for the sessions to be there held. It appears, upon a careful investigation of the number of committals for trial at the Central Criminal Court and Sessions for the year 1850, that about one half of those committals are made by magistrates presi ding at the above -named courts, and only-half by the ma gistrates presiding at Clerken well, Worship-street, and the Thames Police; and it has, therefore, been ar ranged by the Home-office and the police magistrates, that the magistrates presiding at the first-mentioned courts shall always commit the prisoners for trial at the Guildhall, 'Westminster, and those presiding at the other courts at the Sessions-house, Clerkenwell ; by which sensible regulation the convenience of the resi dents in the various districts will be provided for, and the increase of business will produce neither increase of expense, delay, or inconvenience in the cases of sessions prosecutions, whilst it will evidently mate rially diminish them as regards the prosecutions at the Central Criminal Court. With respect to com mittals from those portions of the county which do not fall within the police district, it has not been deemed expedient, for the present, at least, to make any similar arrangement. The committals are not very numerous, and the county justices acting in those districts will, as in all other counties, exercise their discretion in each particular case, as to the court or sessions to which they will commit an offender. As, however, there must be some rule for the guid ance of the Guvernor of the House of Detention, into whose custody all offenders for trial at the sessions will be committed, whether the trial is to take place at Westminstmar Clerkenwell, it must be understood that all perso,us who are committed for trial at the sessions by the county justices, will be considered as committed for trial at Clerkenwell, unless it shall ap pear, by an indorsement on the warrant of committal, that the prosecutor and witnesses are bound over to appear at Westminster. It may not also be irre levant here to state, for the guidance of my brother justices acting for the county at large, that as the expenses of prosecutions from the country districts of necessity greatly exceed the expenses from the police districts, especially when parties are detained in Lon don, because of the allowance of board and lodging, as well as travelling expenses, and as the committals from some of the petty sessions are now always made, however trifling the offence, to the Central Criminal Court, it has been thought right to take an average of the comparative costs of trials at the two courts in country cases for common larcenies triable at the sessions, independent of the beforementioned general average of costs, which includes also the police dis tricts. The result is as follows :—Costs of 52 cases of common larcenies, triable at the sessions, but com mitted from county petty sessions to the Central Criminal Court, between Jan. 1 and Dec. 1, 1850, 3691. 6s. 6d.; costs of 83 cases, committed from county petty sessions for trial at the quarter sessions, 2051. 2s. Bd. ; average cost of committals to the Cen tral Criminal Court, 71. 23. ; ditto to the quarter ses sion, 21. 9d. sd. I have now, gentlemen of the grand jury, brought succinctly under your notice the new regulations for the administration of criminal justice within the metropolitan county, and which I trust I may be permitted to say, although they cast additional duties upon myself, are not unwelcome to me, for I feel neither my brother justices nor myself now occupy a position inferior to the judges of every other criminal court within the United Kingdom. I have only, in conclusion, to add, that as it is the wish of her Majesty's Government to adopt every prac ticable means for lessening the inconveniences, the delays, and expenses necessarily attendant upon the protection of property and the prosecution of offenders, so it is the earnest desire of the police magistrates and my brother justices to carry their measures into effect. For myself, allow me to say, that I enter cheerfully upon my new duties with an honest desire faithfully to discharge them ; and I sincerely hope that the arrangements now promulgated will be as welcome to the inhabitants of Westminster as I am confident they will be to the county at large. I now proceeed to the ordinary business of the day. Thomas Hooton, a goldbeater, was indicted for steal ing 2 oz 3. 7 dwts. of gold leaf, value 101., the pro perty of James Seymour and another, his employers. Mr. Cooper prosecuted, and Mr. Parry defended the prisoner. The prosecutors, goldsmiths, &c., in St. Martin's lane, said the prisoner was, at the time the offence was committed, in their employ as a beater. It ap peared that Mr. Seymour, jun., gave the prisoner what is termed " a beating,"—a piece of ribbon gold, which it would have been his duty to beat into 2,500 leaves ; but he went away, and absented himself for nine days, and the gold had never since been heard of. He had been but a short time in the employ, and he was taken without a character. The jury found the prisoner Guilty. The Learned JUDGE passed upo❑ him the sentence of four months' hard labour, and said, he did not think it advisable for jewellers and other tradesmen who had to entrust valuable property to their servants, to em ploy persons without making full inquiry as to cha racter. The prisoner, it appeared, had been in the employ of a firm at Birmingham, and he produced a written testimonial to character from them. Edward Over pleaded Guilty to an indictment in which he was charged with picking pockets at the Exhibition. The COURT sentenced him to nine months' hard labour. Henry Blaney was indicted for unlawfully and maliciously inflicting upon John Loxton grievous bodily harm. M. Pullen appeared for the prosecution, which was instituted by the Treasury. The prosecutor was a police officer, and whilst on duty in Orchard-street, Portman-square, he had oc casion to interfere with a mob of persons, chiefly Irish, who were making a disturbance. The prisoner attacked him in a ferocious manner, and kicked, him with such brutality that he was necessitated to wear a double truss, and the surgeon said he would, per haps, never entirely recover from the effects of the injury so inflicted upon him. The jury found him Guilty, and The COURT sentenced him to nine months' hard labour. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Yesterday Mary Anne Johnson, but whose real name appears to be Sullivan, was brought up for fur ther examination before Alderman Sir George Carroll, relative to the charge of cruelty, in withholding pro per and sufficient nourishment, and otherwise neglect ing her infant daughter, 14 months old, whereby life was endangered. It will be remembered that Mrs. Hunt stated, on the last examination, that her attention was attracted to the child by hearing it continually crying, in con sequence of which she proceeded to prisoner's room in the same house, No. 2, Three Herring-court, when she there found the prisoner lying on a bed of filth, with her younger child in a state of utter exhaustion by her side, without a morsel to eat, or a rag to cover the poor little creature. Mrs. Hunt, shocked at the neglect of the mother and the skeleton appearance of the unfortunate child, notwithstanding the maudlin expostulations of the prisoner, removed the child to her own apartments, and after administering a small quantity of nutritious food to support life, carried the child to Mr. Lloyd, a surgeon, in New Basinghall street, who directed ber to apply to the magistrates, and give information to the police, as from the state the child was then in he could not be answerable for its existence for even a fow hours. Mr. Lloyd not being in attendance on Friday last it was deemed expedient to remand the prisoner, in order that that gentleman's evidence might be taken ; and also, in the event of the child dying, that the charge might be framed accordingly. The former depositions were then read over, and prisoner was asked if she wished to put any questions to those witnesses whose evidence had been taken on the first examination. Prisoner —I have nothing to ask them. What Mrs. Hunt has stated is quite false. I never neglected either of my children, and I can assure your worship that this is all a trumped up charge against me for the purpose of extorting money. , Sir G. CARROLL.-1 ou need not make that asser tion, as we have, besides the evidence of Mrs. Hunt, the testimony of other witnesses as to the state in which the child was found. Mr. Thomas Lloyd said—l am a surgeon, practising at No. 5, New Basioghall-street, and saw the child for the first time on Friday morning last, when the witness Hunt brought it to my house. I found it in an extremely filthy and exhausted condition. Mrs. Hunt told me it had been exceedingly neglected, and she was at a loss to know what to do with it. I ad vised her to communicate the circumstances to the rm.. thorities at the police-station, and give prisoner into custody. In my opinion the child could not hays lived throughout the day if food had not been given to it so opportunely as had been done by Mrs. Bunt. The little creature appeared to have been suffering from a serofu. l ol as disease, arising from long continued neglect, and wr oat of proper nourishment. One of its little arms b Ad been broken, and badly united again. It was the sin gle bone that was fractured, and therefore with a little care might have been properly set by the mother , Find she been capable of attending to the child's wants. I t was such a fracture as would have united with out any a ssistance, but it would form a bad angle. I saw the child again on Saturday and to-day, and the change i n its appearance is astonishing ; it is so improved that I should not have known it again. There is a diseased condition of the child set up, but whether that can be cured I cannot say. Sir GI SORGE CARROLL (to prisoner)—Do you wish to ask tk to surgeon any questions ? Prisoner—No, Sir, lan x t perfectly innocent of the charge. I have been ent apped into the court in which I live by a gang who have combined against me, and that woman there (p c inting to Mrs. Hunt) is one of them. My insensibi Jity since I have lived at Ne. 2, Three Her ring-cou Redcross-street, is not the effect of drink ing, but arises from exhaustion, produced by these parties c:o nstantly beating me. Sir GE4 )RGE CARROLL—Mrs. Hunt could not have been a pat ty to any combination against you, as it was through he r means alone that your child still lives, for you were utterly incapable of taking care of the poor little creature. Mr. Hill,, the beadle of St. Giles's, Cripplegate, said since the .7.hildren have bee❑ in the workhouse in quiries have been made, and it has been ascertained that she liv ed at Notting-hill for seven years, and was a housekeeper there. During that period she paid scot and lot:—that is, rates, taxes, &c., by which means she gained her settlement. The two children she has are both illegitimate. She has no husband, but the father of the children (a merchant in Sise-la ne) allowed her a very handsome maintenance. About ten days ago he sent her two sovereigns, with which she took a bed out of pledge, and went to lodge in Three Herring-court. Sir GEORGE CARROLL—Where were the children born? Prisoner—The eldest was born in the parish of St. Mary Abbots, Kensington, and the other, little Polly (the child in question), was born in St. James's. Sir GEORGE CARROL—This is a case of such gross neglect that I think it a fit one for the parish officers to take up and prosecute. Mr. am instructed to inform your Wor• ship that whatever the magistrate may direct, the parish officers are most willing and anxious to do. Prisoner•—l hope, Sir, you will hear some of my neighbours who have expressed a wish to speak to my character, and all that has been alleged against me. Sir GEORGE CARROLL—I don't think you can bring any witness to contravene the surgeon's evi dence. You have accused Mrs. Hunt of leaguing with other parties against you. I have paid parti cular attention to the evidence, and from what I have seen of Mrs. Hunt, I can only say that, as the mother of twelve children, she has done her duty in this in stance in a most creditable and worthy manner. Her humanity is beyond all praise. Prisoner—They say I have been imprisoned, Sir, for a month, from another court, when I can so lemnly declare I never was in a prison in my life. Hodges, 120, the officer who had the charge, said that prisoner lived some time since at No. 14. Circus street, Bryanatone-square, when she was given into custody for a similar offence, and she was committed to the House of Correction for a month or six weeks, from Marylebone Police-court. Sir GEORGE CARROLL—I am afraid there is very little reliance to be placed in any of the statements you have made, and it will therefore be my duty to commit you to Newgate, there to await your trial, on the charge of wilfully neglecting, and omitting to supply proper food, clothing, &c., to your child. Prisoner here again asserted that she loved her children, and in order to satisfy the Court and give an example of her affection for her offspring, she stooped, and taking up the eldest child (who, had unnoticed crept into the dock) is her arms, commenced kissing and bugging it in a most frantic manner. The depositions being prepared, the, prisoner was fully committed for trial. WORSHIP-STREET. Yesterday Jane Sayer, a young married woman, very respectably attired, was placed at the bar before Mr. D'Eyncourt, charged with feloniously stealing a small piece of meat, of the value of 101 d., from the shop of Mr. George Sutton, a butcher, at Dalston. Mr. Hobler, the solicitor, attended on behalf of the prisoner. Mr. John Peach, a gentleman of property, residing at Shacklewell, stated that on Saturday evening he was in the prosecutor's shop, when his attention was attracted to the prisoner, who was standing outside in front of the shop and handling a piece of meat in such a manner as to excite his suspicions. After watching her actions for a short time he at length saw her throw the end of her shawl over the meat, under the cover of which she dexterously jerked it either into or upon a small basket she had in her hand and walked away with it. Witness instantly hastened after the prisoner, whom he overtook at one of the adjoin ing shops, and upon charging her with stealing the property, which was next found lying at her feet, the prisoner earnestly protested her innocence, and de clared that she must have inadvertently removed it from the board on which it had been placed by the end of her shawl. Witness, however, called for the police, and the prosecutor upon being apprised of the facts, gave her into custody. Witness was in the habit of dealing at the prosecutor's shop, but the prisoner was an entire stranger to him, and he had never seen her there before. Milne, a police-constable of the N division, stated that upon reaching the spot where the accused was detained by the last witness, he saw the prisoner pass her hand rapidly behind her from underneath her shawl, and upon looking down he observed the piece of meat lying upon the ground. Mr. George Sutton, the prosecutor, identified the meat in question (a small piece of lamb) as his pro- perty, which he had seen upon a hook a short time before, and almost immediately afterwards heard a noise in the street, and on going out found it lying on the ground, and the prisoner in charge of the officer. _ _ _ _ Mr. Hobler addressed the magistrate on behalf of the prisoner, whom he described as being connected with a family of the highest respectability, who had resided in the same neighbourhood for the last fifty years, and contended that notwithstanding the appa rently inculpatory nature of the evidence, it was wholly beyond credibility that a person in the pri soner's station should hare knowingly been guilty of such an offence. Mr. D EYNCOURT, however, said it was manifestly a matter for the decision of a jury, and ordered the prisoner to be at once committed for trial ; but upon subsequent application that she might be admitted to bail, consented to accept substantial sureties in 801. for her future appearance. HAMMERSMITH. Eleanor Donovan and Sarah Dawson were charged with having robbed Thomas Prendergast of 21. in gold. It appeared in evidence that between one and two o'clock on Saturday night, complainant, a respectable young man, met the two prisoners near the Feathers public-house, High-street, Notting-hill, when they accosted him, and asked him to give them somethi ng to drink. He told them all the houses were closed, but the prisoners said the Swan public-house, at the corner of Silver-street, was open, and would serve. At that time he had three sovereigns in his 4eft-hand trousers pocket. Finding the Swan was not open, he gave the prisoner Donovan threepence in copper, which he had in another pocket, and while standing there Donovan snatched at his gold chain round his neck, which he resisted and secured, and at that mo ment seeing his left-hand trousers pocket open he examined it and found two sovereigns gone. Being, however, certain Donovan had something in her mouth, he called a policeman who was near, when he saw something fall from her mouth, which the con stable, on examining the ground at the spot, found to be a sovereign. On the prisoner being searched another sovereign was found. The prisoner Donovan was committed for trial, and as there was no evedence inculpating Dawson, she was discharged. John Thorogood, driver of one of the Exhibition omnibuses, badge No. 2,520, was summoned for having used abusive language while in his employ. ment, under the following circumstances : Dr. Louis Antonio Ritterbardt, residing at N 0.43, Warwick-street, Golden-square, stated, on the morn ing of Friday last, the 29th ult., during the shower, while standing at the corner of Swallow-street, Pic cadilly, he hailed the defendant's omnibus, which had the words, "Kensington-gate" behind it, and asked defendant his fare, which he said was 4d., on which he got in. On arriving at the centre of the Exhibi tion, the vehicle stopped, and the other passengers got out. The conductor told witness they went no farther. He demanded to be taken to Kensington gate, which being refused, he got out without paying the fare, and walked on, having a patient to attend. On getting to the Symposium he found the defendant had driven after him, and stopped, demanding his fare or card of address, and called a constable there to his aid, but he refused to do either. Defendant then offered to take him to the gate, but be declined to go in, and went on. Defendant still followed him, and at the Vic toria-road defendant called him a " b—y foreigner." Complainant then went on to the Kensington police station, where defendant also came, and complainant was advised to pay the fare and summon defendant for the abuse. In cross-examination by Mr. Gilliam for the de fendant, the complainant denied having six times sworn at defendant, or having ever before been in a police -court. Mr. BEADON , in deciding the case , deprecated the course of his advocate by the putting improper ques_ tions in ems-examination, as hlr. Gilb rn hvi done ~~~ TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 2, 1851. but said, under the circumstances, he should discharge the defendant, as the complainant ought to have given his address when asked. THAMES. Yesterday Peter Sheen was brought up on remand before Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing four sove reigns and a half sovereign, the moneys of Gotlieb Bohringer, a German. Mr. 'Pelham appeared for the prosecution, and stated that the Saxon Consul had sent the man to his office, and he had lodged a plaint in the Whitechapel County Court against Mr. M'Donough, the landlord of the Windmill, in Rosemary-lane, in whose house the alleged robbery was committed, for the recovery of eight sovereigns, which the foreigner said he bad lost in the Windmill. Police. sergeant Foay, No. 7 H, said that a sailor, who could have given important evidence in this case, had gone to sea, and a woman who saw the robbery committed was gone out of the way. Mr. YARDLEY—I heard enough before to justify me in committing the prisoner for trial. Take the depositions, Mr. Pyer. The German, who gave his evidence through the medium of an interpreter, said he went into the Wind mill a few nights ago with two women for the pur pose of treating them, and was taking his money out of a purse for the purpose of paying for the liquor, when it was knocked out of his hand by the prisoner and three other men, who immediately began scramb ling for the money, and picked it up. In answer to questions by Mr. Yardley, the prosecutor said it was about 11 o'clock at night when he entered the house. He lost 4/. 103. On being asked what money it was the interpreter by mistake said four pounds and a half, and then four sovereigns and a half, but at last said that Bohringer had four sovereigns and 10s. in silver in his purse when he took it out. Mr. John M'Donough, the landlord of the Wind mill, said the prosecutor and two women came to the front of his bar, about half-past 12 at night, and called for liquor. The foreigner afterwards com plained that his money had been knocked out of his hand. Witness did not see it. On the following morning he picked up a sovereign on the floor, and gave it to the prosecutor. Mr. PELHAM—An action has been brought against you ? Mr. M'Donough—Yes, Sir, for the recovery of 8/.los. The foreigner now says he lost only 4/. 10s. Wigley, 141 H, said he took the prisoner into cus tody, and he admitted he was in front of the bar of the Windmill at the time the foreigner lost the money, but denied taking any part in the affair. The prisoner made strong protestations of his in nocence, and said he could call witnesses to character. Foay, 7 H, was about to give an account of the prisoner's former pursuits, when Mr. YARDLEY said he would neither hear witnesses for nor against the prisoner's character, and committed him for trial. Mr. George Ellis, chief usher of this court, has re tired, after 31 years' service in the police of the me tropolis, on a well-earned pension granted him by the Lords of the Treasury. He was a very civil, courte ous, and obliging man, much respected by the public having business at this court, and a great favourite with the various magistrates who have officiated in the old as well as the present Thames Police-court. Mr. Ellis is succeeded by Mr. Livingstone, the se cond usher, a most deserving person, generally en gaged in the clerk's office. Parker, one of the officers of the Marlborough-street Police-court, succeeds Livingstone as second usher. ALLEGED CHEATING CASE at BRIGHTON. CHARGE OF PERJURY. Yesterday Henry Nottage was brought before the magistrates at the Town-hall, Brighton, on a charge of perjury, arising out of the proceedings in this case. The magistrates present were C. Carpenter, Esq., chairman; J. Borrer, Esq., T. J. Bellamy, Esq., and D. M. Scott, Esq. Mr. Sill, of Tavistock-row, the solicitor for the pro secution, said he appeared to prefer a charge of wilful and corrupt perjury against the prisoner, arising out of the proceedings against J. Broome, Staden, and James, who were committed on the 15th of August to take their trial at the next Lent assizes at Lewes, on a charge of conspiracy and fraud. At that time the magistrates, in the exercise of their discretion, agreed to receive bail on the part of the prisoners, and Mr. Lewis, who subsequently appeared as so licitor for Staden, gave notice that a party named Sparkes and the prisoner Nottage would appear before the magistrates at Brighton, on Thursday, the 21st of August, to justify as bail on the part of the prisoner Staden. On that day the prisoner, Henry Nottage, who was described in the notice served by the solicitor as a gentleman, did appear, and being examined, stated that he resided at No. 2, Arlington-street, Pimlico, and that he was a confectioner. He (Mr. Sill) called the attention of the bench to this answer, after the description of " gentleman " which had been given him in the no tice, and which he considered to be an incipient fraud. The prisoner was then questioned as to his sufficiency to become bail, and whether he was worth 1001. after payment of his just debts. He answered that he was, and that he was worth property to the amount of 9001, but so far from that being the case, he (Mr. Sill) would be able to show that he was in a state bordering upon great poverty. The prisoner further stated that he possessed stock in the Bank of England to the amount of 5001., in the Three-and-a-Half per Cents., while it would be proved that he had no such stock, and that, in point of fact, there was no such descrip tion of stock. The Chairman said the wonder was that no one remarked at the time that there was no such stock as that described, namely, Three-and-a-Half Consols. Mr. Sill further alluded to the evidence the pri soner had given, and to the nature of the testimony which he would now lay before the magistrate in support of the charge against the prisoner. He then called the following witnesses : Mr. Robert Upperton, clerk to the magistrates at Brighton, said that on the 21st of August an applica tion was made to admit the prisoner Staden to bail, and that the prisoner presented himself on that day as bail for Staden. In the course of the examination of the prisoner the following took place : Are you worth 1001. after payment of all your debts ?—Yes, sir; I owe none. What does your property, to the extent of 1001. over your debts, consist of ?-9001. in goods. In addition to that, are you possessed of money in the Bank ?—I am. I❑ addition to the lease produced, have you any other property ?-500/. money in the Three-and-a- Half per Cent. Consols, in the Bank of England. Is that money unencumbered ?—Yes ; left to me on the death of my father. Is the 500/. your own absolutely P—lt is. In whose name does it stand ?—ln the name of Henry Nottage, of 2, Arlington-street, Pimlico. Mr. John Beaton said he was the examiner of stock accounts in the Bank of England, in the office of the chief accountant, and had been 35 years in the Bank. Is there any such stock known in: the Bank of England as the Three-and-a-Half Consols ?—No, sir. Is there any such stock in existence P—No, sir. Have you examined the books of the Bank of England relating to every description of stock and funds ?—I have. It has been made carefully, with the view of my attending here to-day, and has been made on two occasions. When was the examination made?—Last Thursday. Was there on the 21st of August any account whatever in the name of Henry Nottage, of 2, Ar lington-street, Pimlico P—N one whatever. Was there any such sum as 5001. in the name of Henry Nottage, of any place whatever ?—No, sir. Did you find a large amount of stock in the name of a person named Henry Nottage, carpenter, of Chigwell, deceased ?—Yes, 10,0001. That was the only sum in the name of any Henry Nottage. Cross-examined by Mr. Seale, solicitor, of London, who appeared for the prisoner —Have you the control of the whole of the books ?—I have, and I searched every fund. Have you searched every department of the Bank ? —I am speaking of the public funds. Then you are not prepared to swear that the pri soner has not any sum in the Bank of England ? I am not. And for aught you know he may have 5001. in the Bank of England ?—He may, in money. Look at that paper (handing a paper to witness). — It is a stock receipt for 3841. Bs. 4d. in the Three per Cents., in the name of Henry Nottage, dated 17th May, '5O. Re-examined—ls that 3841. Bs. 4d. standing in the books of the Bank of England now P—No. Was it on the 21st of August last ?—No. Was the balance of that sum sold out on the 3l of October, 1850 P—lt was. Do you happen to know that that stock stood in the name of the prisoner at the bar ?—Not of the same residence, 2, Arlington-street, Pimlico. Mr. Jean Dubourg was next examined—He said I reside at Dubourg's Hotel iu the Haymarket, Lon don. The prisoner was in my service for many years as cook. He left my service I think in 1847 or 1848. During the time he was in my service he conducted himself to my satisfaction. Have you at any time applied to him for money ? —I have. Is he indebted to you ?—He is. Did you meet him about 18 months ago in Pall mall P—l did. He had a piece of paperhangings under his arm. I asked him for the money he owed me, and what he was doing. He said he had no money, and was doing some little odd jobs to get a living. I then asked him to return my property. Mr. Seale objected to this question. The Bench, however, thought it should be an swered. The witness said—The prisoner answered me that it was quite safe. I wished it, however, returned, and named a day for him to do so ; but I have not received either my money or my property yet. Did you call at the house in Arlington-street ?—I did; but I saw from the kind of house it was that there was no use in calling for money. In answer to questions from the Bench the witness said it was shortly before he met the prisoner in Pall mall that he called in Arlington-street. Cross-examined—During the time the prisoner was in your service did he conduct himself well ? Yes; and that was the reason I trusted him with the property. I want you to fix, as nearly as you can, the date when you last applied for your property ?—I think it was in '4B. By the Bench—What is the amount of property he owed you ?—The things were valued at 45/. ; but I offered to take 251. and to take weekly instalments for the use of the property till he could pay that sum. I have received about 41. 103. only. Mr. Henry Verne], partner of Mr. Upperton, clerks to the magistrates, proved the minute in the books relating to Nottage being tendered as bail. Joh❑ Lang said he was an officer in the Brighton police, and o❑ Friday last received a warrant to take the prisoner into custody, and did arrest him at the Argyle Larder in Panton-street. Did you read the warrant to him ?—I did. It charged him with wilful and corrupt perjury. (War rant produced and identified.) After you read the warrant to him did he say any thing ?—Yes ; he said he was getting up a dinner for some gentlemen, and that I must wait till he had done ; I however brought him away. Did he say anything to you ?—Yes ; before leaving the room he said—What is the meaning of perjury ? I said false swearing. He said—Can you tell me when I foreswore myself? I said no; they will tell you about that at Brighton. Did he say anything else ?—He said—l will make some one pay for this. On your road to the station did you meet a person of the name of Bignell ?—We meta person, and the prisoner said—Oh, here is Mr. Bignell ; and address ing him, said, " I am in custody." What did Bignell say to that ?—He pointed to a person beside him, and said—You go with him and see about it. Would you know that person P—l think I would. Is that the person (pointing to a man sitting beside the prisoner's solicitor) P—Yes ; I think he is. Mr. Upperton, recalled by Mr. Sill—Do you know that Charles Staden was in custody on a charge of conspiracy and fraud ?—Yes ; I was present at the time. Was it with reference to that charge the prisoner offered himself as bail ?—lt was. Mr. Sill said that was the case against the prisoner. Mr. Seale said he appeared for the prisoner; and he submitted that to constitute the crime charged against him, it must be shown that the prisoner had stated something false that was material to the point at issue, and that he had stated that falsehood wilfully and corruptly. Some stress had been laid on the fact of the prisoner having been described as a gentleman ; but it was to be remembered that on the prisoner being asked the question, he had without hesitation stated that he was a cook and con fectioner. The whole case resolved itself into the question, what wag the perjury in the case ? It amounted to this—He said he owed no money, and that he had stock in the Three-and-a-Half per Cents. in the Bank. It might be true that he owed Mr. Du bourg money, but it did not therefore follow that the prisoner committed perjury. He might not at the time have remembered it. The statement might be untrue, but it is not, therefore, wilful and corrupt perjury, especially when they took into consideration the time that had elapsed. The debt to Mr. Dubourg might be of a kind which that gentleman would be justified in claiming, and also which the prisoner would be justified in refusing to pay. But the pro secutor had failed to show that the prisoner was so poor a man as had been represented. So far from his being poor he (Mr. Seale) would now show a lease which the prisoner possessed of the house No. 2, Ar lington-street, Pimlico, and for which he had paid, within a recent period, 385/. His furniture is worth 9001. The prisoner came to the court with the conviction that he had property which would warrant him in being taken as bail. He was, doubtless, a very ignorant man, and did not know what perjury meant, and what the word " abode" meant ; and when he said he had property in the Bank of England, he meant, doubtless, the property that he had been possessed of. Although the prisoner might be subject to great censure, be (Mr. Seale) submitted, that upon the case brought forward the Bench would not, he hoped, consider him to have been guilty of wilful and corrupt perjury, and con sidering also that the prosecutor would be put to great expense in such a prosecution, as well as the prisoner, he trusted they would not decide against him. Mr. Seale concluded by exhibiting the lease which the prisoner, he said, held of the house in Arlington-street, Pimlico, and the assignment of which bore date August 7, 1850. Mr. Sill remarked that there was no signature to the receipt on the deed for consideration. Mr. Seale next produced the broker's ticket for the sale of the prisoner's stock in the Bank of England. The Chairman remarked that that made the case worse. Mr. Seale explained that the prisoner was an ignorant man, and had an idea that he had not got rid of the stock. The Chairman said they had no doubt on their minds of their duty to commit the prisoner on that part of the charge relating to the 5001. stock. Mr. Seale hoped, if that was the decision of the Bench, they would think it was a case in which the prisoner might be admitted to bail. Mr. Sill observed that ho would say nothing on that part of the case, except that the prisoner was a person who had endeavoured to get the prisoner Ste den out of custody by the statements he had made. The magistrates having consulted fora few minutes, The Chairman said they would admit the prisoner to bail, himself in 5001., and two sureties in 2501. each ; forty-eight hours' notice to be given of bail. The prisoner was then removed, and Mr. Chase, the chief officer of the Brighton police, was bound over to prosecute. Mr. Superintendent Otway was present, having been summoned on the part of the prosecution, but he was not called. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
