LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPCY, Jan. 5. MARRIAGE SETTLEMENTS. —IN RE wat. L. wood. To-day was appointed for the choice of assignees, in the case of this bankrupt, who was an ironmonger, in Gracechurch street. A proof was tendered, on the part of the trustees, under the bankrupt's marriage settlement. The deed being produced, it appeared, amongst other things, the bankrupt had entered into a covenant to insure his life and keep up the annual payments, and that such policy of insurance should be for the benefit of the bankrupt's wife. The claim now made was for the value of the policy, as estimated by the actuary, the bankrupt not being in a condition to perform his covenant. The Learned COMMISSIONER, after hearing the argu ment and reading several cases, decided that such a proof was inadmissable. Another question arose as to the delivery of some goods after the bankruptcy. It appeared the fiat was opened about two o'clock in the clay, and goods ordered by the bankrupt were delivered in two or three hours afterwards: the question arose as to whether they could be retained as part of the stock of the bankrupt and applied for the general benefit of the creditors. The Learned COMMISSIONER said that the goods must either be returned or considered as purchased by the assignees to continue the business for a time. The assignee said he should return the goods. _ _ The estate being likely to yield a fair dividend, an allowance to the bankrupt was granted without oppo sition. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. OBTAINING WINE SAMPLES FROM THE LONDON DOCK COMPANY BY FORGED ORDERS.—John Hatton, a respectably dressed man, aged forty-three, described in the calendar as a " wine agent," was charged with hav ing obtained a number of samples of wine from the East vaults of the London docks, by forged orders, pur posting to be signed by Messrs. Dingwell, Porter, and Co., wine merchants, of Idle-lane, Tower-street, well knowing at the time that they were forged. The trial was deferred until this session, in order that a material witness, whose name was stated to be Dunks, might be obtained, to give evidence in support of the defence. Mr. Ballantine appeared for the prosecution, which was instituted by the London Dock Company, and Mr. Doane for the prisoner. It appeared that Messrs. Dingwell and Co. had con signments of wine in the vaults in question, and that the prisoner produced two orders ; the first, on the 17th, and the second on the 21st of November last, to the clerk at the vault, purporting to be orders for samples, which, after being duly attested, were given to the cooper to draw the wine, which was done, and the wine delivered to the prisoner. Two other orders were also delivered at the vaults ; and the wines to which they referred were delivered to a porter named Elstead, sent by the prisoner, who was, however, in the service of the company, and whom the prisoner directed to say that the wines belonged to Messrs. Dingwell. The porter was stopped by one of the constables of the dock. The constable traced the pri soner to the Phoenix, on Tower-hill, who, on mention ing his business, stated that he knew nothing about the orders; but subsequently a person named Waters re cognising him, ho admitted that he had delivered the first two orders, and that he had received them from a person named Dunks. He said Dunks was in the wine trade ; that he had known him for three months ; and that he (Dunks) had employed him to obtain the sam ples; and that he considered the wine belonged to him. He searched the prisoner, and found a number of blank tasting orders upon him, which however, it appeared, could be easily obtained from the Dock Company. He had been to several places, by the prisoner's direction, but he had been quite unable to meet with Dunks. He did not mention the name of Dunks until he was in cus tody. He then called the officer's attention to a person wearing a white waistcoat, who frequented the docks, and who, he said, was the person to whom he referred The prisoner, it appeared ,was well known at the Phenix. He there instructed the porter how he was to proceed. Mr. DOANE contended that there was nothing to show that the prisoner was aware of the fact that the orders were forgeries, or that he altered them with a guilty knowledge ; if so, it was unlikely that he would have employed one of the Dock porters as an instrument to perpetuate fraud. Dunks, whose attendance they had been unable to obtain, had employed the prisoner, who was a respectable man, to obtain the wine by orders which the priso ner could not have known were forged. Mr. Smith, who stated that he was a provision dealer in the Commercial-road, said that he had known the prisoner for twelve years, and that he had always borne the character of a respectable man. Dunks kept the Greyhound, in Smithfield, about eleven years ago. Dunks was a wine agent. He had been to several places in order to get him to attend the Court, but he had been unable to meet him. He had trusted the prisoner with large sums of money. Mr. Bainbridge, a perfumer in Somers-town, said he saw Dunks last Thursday, and charged him with wishing to destroy the prisoner, to which he replied, " What is that to you?" He asked him (witness) to forge him thirteen tasting orders, and offered him rope for them. He insinuated that if he were to fill them up he should commit forgery. Dunks said it was all " square," but as he did net think so he did not consent. He did not give him into custody. Dunks lived by getting wine out in samples. The RECORDER left it to the jury to say whether the prisoner uttered the order with a guilty knowledge, or whether he was made the dupe of others. The jury found the prisoner Guilty. The RECORDER said, the exposed nature of the pro perty of persons deposited in the docks, and the facilities thereby afforded for fraud, called for an exemplary punishment at the funds of the Court. The sentence of the Court was that he be transported for the term of seven years. THE MISERIES AND TEMPTATIONS OF THE POOR.— A small withered old woman, whose whole appearance denoted the most extreme distress, and who trembled so violently that she was obliged to be accommo dated with a seat, named Sophia Bradfield, was charged with having stolen a watch, valued at 21. 2s. ; a watch guard, worth 2s. ; two seals, worth 2s. ; a watch key, worth 61 ; and five half-crowns, three shillings, and sixpence, from the bed -room of a person named Norman, who occupied a house at No. 22, King-street, Old Kent road, in which she and her two sons occupied a room. On leaving his room, on the 20th of November, he cloied and locked the door, after having satisfied himself that the articles in question were safe. Some time after the door was found open and the articles re moved. The prisoner left that day, and in her room was found a pair of iron compasses, with which it was assumed she bad opened the door. She was arrested at a house in the Borough, and admitted that want had driven her to commit the crime. It ap peared from the statement of the prosecutor's sister, that the prisoner got her living by painting children's books and cheap pictures, and by shoebinding. She had no furniture and was in great distress ; she owed 11. 13s. for rent. Her sons were 15 and 18 years old. The woman transmitted a paper to the RECORDER, who desired the clerk to read it. It stated that she had long experienced the most acute distress, that at the time she earned only 2s. ld. one week and Is. 7d. in another. Her sons were starving, and continually exclaiming that they could not bear their privations longer, and that they could not work for the want of tools. " I could not bear it," it went on, " and I left the room, and on proceeding down the stairs I saw the room door open, and took the things in order to get food for my sons." The RECORDER—Why did you not apply for relief ? Prisoner—l applied once since my husband's death, but they told me I was young and able to work for my living. The jury found the prisoner guilty of stealing the property, and earnestly recommended her to mercy on account of her distressed condition at the time. The RECORDER referred to a statement made by the woman when before the magistrate. She said, "I took the things because my sons were in a starving state. I have sat often two days in that room without breaking my fast. I could endure it no longer." The prison surgeon said the prisoner was so ill that she could scarcely walk, and that she had been under medical treatment since she became an inmate of the prison. She could not be cured for some time. The RECORDER directed the surgeon to inform the parish authorities of Bermondsey, to which she belonged, that at the expiration of her imprisonment she would require assistance. The Court always made allowances for persons driven to crime by privation. In the prison she would perhaps have better medical attendance than the workhouse could afford. The sentence of the Court was that she be confined in Newgate for one month. NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner BULLOCK, Alderman MUSGROVE, &c. &C.) BOBBING THE LONDON Docks.— Walter Breton, a re spectable-looking young man, in the service of the Lon don Dock Company, was indicted with stealing 201bs. weight of tobacco, the property of her Majesty. In an other count the property was laid as belonging to the London Dock Company. From the evidence adduced it appeared that the pri soner, who was a servant in the Docks, on leaving them Was detected with the property in question in his pocket, and, ou being charged with stealing it, he said that it was his own ' • that he had purchased it for his own char smoking ; and appeared extremely indignant at being charged with theft. The jury foundEthßoerisoner Guilty, and The Comm ox S imprisonment and hardAlNalT3 sentenced him to six months' VIOLENT ASSAUL T UT "ain Thomas Pearlman was indicted with violently assaultin,goJohn Ellis, fracturing his skull, and breaking his armusannt4 15th ' September last, and Maria Pickard ahnidniSin doing so. were charged tageared with aiding and assisting that the assault arose out of the ill bl ood feeling that existed among all the parties, who lived d bad the same court in the neighbourhood of the Boro ug h, The assault, it appears, was committed by Pearmgan, with a life-preserver ; and, according to the evidence of Ellis, the prosecutor, who is a bum-boatman, supplying spirits to the seamen on board the vessels on the river, was of a most aggravated description, his skull having been severely fractured, and his left arm broken. Mr. PAYNE appeared for the prisoners, and ad dressed the jury at some length on their behalf, con tending that the whole had arisen in consequence of the brutal conduct of the prosecutor to his wife, and from a feeling of jealousy on his part for the kindness displayed towards her by the prisoners. A witness of the name of Hewlett gave all the prison ers an excellent character for humanity and quietness, having known them 12 years. The COMMON SERGEANT summed up. The jury found the prisoner Pearman Guilty of a common assault, and acquitted both the woman. The COMMON SERGEANT sentenced Pearman to one year's imprisonment in the common gaol of the county. EmBEzzLEmENT.— William Hughes, a young man of respectable appearance, surrendered on an indictment charging him with embezzling and steeling in Angus' THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNFSDAY I%IORNiNG , JANUARY 6, 1847. and September last the sums of 51. and 4/. 14s. ld., the property of John Rose, his master. Mr. Doane defended the prisoner. Mr. CLA.RKSON stated the case for the prosecution, and named a further sum than the above stated in the indict ment. Mr. O'Brien examined the witnesses. It appeared that the prisoner had for some time been in the confidental employ of the proscutor, who carries on business in Ratcliff. He was authorised by him to receive moneys on his account, which it was his duty to pay in on the same day, or on the first opportunity. In September several defalcations took place, and early in the next month a magisterial inquiry was instituted, and the prisoner was liberated on bail, but a bill of in-, di?tment was preferred. It was proved that he had re ceived, among others, the sum of 91. odd, which had not been paid over in the usual way. In his cross-examination by Mr. DOANE, the prosecu tor admitted that he had expressed regret that these proceedings were instituted. Witnesses were called to prove the payments. Mr. DOANE addressed the jury, and warmly expa tiated on the previous good character which the prisoner had long borne, and observed that the prisoner admitted and deeply regretted that he had done wrong. Mr. Duane submitted that he was an agent, and not a ser vant, as required by Act of Parliament. Mr. O'BRIEN was of a contrary opinion, and then re ferre,-1 the Court to the statute. Mr. "lommissioner BULLOCK retirid, to consult the Recorder ;'vonthe pint in dispute , and on his return he made some further inquiries of Mr. Rose, the prose cutor, as to the nature of his engagement with prisoner. The Learned JUDGE tol d Mr. Doane he might as well proceed with his ohservations, and he was understood to say, that if it became, necessary the point should be re served. The Learned Counsel baying done so, called several respectable persons, principally law writers and sta tioners, who gave the priSOlielr a very excellent character for the last ten years. Mr. Commissioner BULLOCK seamed up the evidence, and the jury returned a verdict of A equittal, and the pri soner departed with his numerous friends. Several cases of no interest were disposed of, and the Court adjourned at five o'clock. from a clever attempt made by him to rob her, com plained to Mr. Goldham. That experienced officer ordered the prisoner out of the place, but received the most awful abuse. It became neoesszty to remove the fellow, and Mr. Goldham collared him for that purpose. He, however, resisted most violently, and struck right and left at Mr. Goldham, but was finally shaken to a stand-still, and thrust into the station-house by his active adversary. The prisoner was committed as a rogue and vagabond for a month. taking his seat in the omnibus, his attention was first attracted to the improper conduct of the complainant by an uneasy feeling exhibited by his wife, who was sitting next to him, and who at length told him that the com plainant was insulting her by stretching out his legs and pressing her knees in a most off. -nsive manner. lie ac cordingly put down his paved, and finding the com plainant', legs in the position his wife had described, re quested him to remove them, but he refused to do so, and he was therefore himself compelled to force them aside. The instant he had done so, however, the com plainant raised his feet and dealt him a violent kick in the stomach. He certainly struck him with his umbrella, and considered himself perfectly justified in resorting to such a course of retaliation. Mr. BROUGUTON said he had no doubt that the defen dant had acted under the erronecus impression that his wife had been insulted in the manner described, but if he felt himself aggrieved, his proper course was to remove the lady, and appeal to the conductor, instead of taking the law into his own hands in the unwarrantable manner he had done, The as fault had been clearly established, and he should order him to pay a penalty of 605., or in default, be committed fur one month to the House of Correction. The fine was immediately paid, and the defendant Liberated. BENEVOLENCIL —The magistrates have received letters enclosing the following charitable donations, and re questing their acknowledgment through the medium of the press :—" C.," 3/. ; " J. R.," 1/. ; " J. J., 103. ; and " A Lady, R. G. E.," to be be a ppli e d to t h e poor -b ox. "H. V., 11. Is. ; "J. J.," ss. ; "C. W. H.," 10s. ; and " X.," 10s., on behalf of the unfortunate sisters Baker, whose destitute condition was mentioned to the magis trates a few days since ; and "C. W. H.," 103., and "R. G. E.," 55., for the widow Orick, whose distressing case was simultaneously noticed. HORSE STEALlNG.—Yesterday morning a young man of provincial appearance was brought before Mr. Bingham for re-examination, on the charge of stealing a horse, under the following circumstances . From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner, whose name is William Bradshaw, on Tuesday, the 29th ult., presented himself before Mr. Monks, the horse slaughterer, of North-street, Whitechapcl, and offered the animal alluded to for sale. From the appearance of the latter, however, Mr. Monks was at once convinced, in his own mind, that the prisoner had not come honestly by the horse; he therefore questioned him, but his answers were so evasive and unsatisfactory that he gave him into custody, and he was locked up. On the fol ' lowing day the constable (*Cullen, 47 K) by dint of inquiry traced the owner of the horse to Mr. Antsey, of Devonshire-street, Hoxton, and who upon seeing the animal at once identifi e d hi m as hi s p ro p er t y . Th e pri soner, subsequent to his being taken into custody, stated that he had found the horse astray in the road near Chelmsford. Mr. Antsey attended yesterday morning, and gave evidence as to the stolen horse being his property, and the depositions were ordered to be made out for the prisoner's full committal to Newgate for trial.

Commissions by the Lord-Lieutenant and Sheriff Principal SURREY SESSIONS• The Sessions for the County of Surrey were opened yesterday morning, at the Sessions-house in the Borough, before Mr. I'uckle, chairman, and a very full bench of Magistrates. The Grand Jury having been impanelled, the Chair man briefly addressed them, and they retired to their room. The reports of the surgeons and governors of the several county prisons were presented, by which it ap peared that there were under confinement in the county gaols, 131 males and 126 females, making together 357. One prisoner of the name of Harris had died shortly after admission to the prison, at Guildford, from mortifi cation of the feet in consequence of exposure to excessive cold. The accounts of the county treasurer were then passed, and a county rate of 2d. in the pound was ordered to be paid within six weeks. Mr. Onslow, the clerk to the magistrates, called the attention of the court to a letter which he had received from Mr. Phillips, the secre tary of Sir George Grey, which informed him that by the Act of last session, c. 116, the sum of 40,0001. per annum is to be applied out of the Consoli dated Fund to the support of these prisoners after trial, who may be suffering under sentence in the several county prisons. The letter required a return to be presented immediately after the 31st of March in each year, which is to be submitted to the Secretary of State, by whom the respective amounts will be apportioned to the different counties. He observed that the Act speci fied that the prisoner alluded to should have been tried at the Assizes and Quarter Sessions; but a great number of the Surrey prisoners are now tried at the Central Criminal Court ; and he presumed the provisions of the Act would apply to them also. It was agreed that ap plication should be made to the Secretary of State to as certain the point. Information was aiso received from the office of Sir George Grey that a change was to be made in the mode of conveying prisoners from the several county gaols to Horsemonger-lane and the Old Bailey. They are hence forth to be conveyed in vans, under the care of the police force, instead of, as at present, under the charge of county constables. On the motion of Mr. JEFFREY, seconded by Mr. FRESIIIIELD, an increase of salary was voted to the schoolmaster at Guildford prison. A report of the Visiting Committee of the County Lunatic Asylum was then made, by which it appeared that the number of inmates at present is 421, of whom 322 are constantly employed. A long conversation ensued on the report of the com mittee for the alteration of the:asylum, 'from which it appeared that the estimates of the five I:ondou builders so far exceeded the calculation of the county surveyors, that it was neccessary to reconsider the matter ; and on I the motion of COL CHALLONER, it was resolved that the correspon dence of the Committee with the Lunacy Commissioners, together with a statement of the alterations required, and the estimates of the expense, should be printed and circulated among the magistracy, one month before the R) egate sessions. Mr. Briscoe retired from the Chairmanship of the Committee, and Mr. Chandler was appointed instead. To a request that the former gentleman would remain a member of the Committee, he declined to accede. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. A case of some interest as regards the police force came on yesterday batore Alderman Gibbs. Richard Addis, who lately belonged to the City police, was brought up in the custody of Inspector Marchant charged with having committed a fraud. Mr. Edward James Read, clerk to Mr. Clarke, clerk of the arraigns at the Central Criminal Court, said— It is my duty to make out the orders upon the treasurers of the City and the several counties for the costs of proceedings in the Central Criminal Court, and, amongst other things, to pay the orders upon the chamberlain. The prisoner applied to me for an order for costs as a witness in the case of John Anderson, who was yester day tried for felony. He said he had left the police force, and he asked me to allow him his travelling expenses. 1 I asked him where he lived. He said at Chet- tenham, near Gloucester. I asked him if he had come from Cheltenham to attend the trial. he replied that he had last night. I asked him when he left London for Cheltenham. He said on Thursday. I asked him why he had left London for so distant a place, knowing that he had to attend the Central Criminal Court so soon afterwards? He said, that having left the police force, the fact was, he had forgotten that he had the case in hand, and slid not discover it till he had got to Cheltenham. I asked him how he came to town by that train? He said by the secoud-class train, and that he had paid 11. 2s. 6d. for the conveyance. When I asked him how he could explain that, as the fare was only 17s. 6d. he answered that the rest of th e charge was caused by the distance of the railroad to the place to which he was going, and the differ ence in town also. Under these circumstances I allowed him altogether the sum of 3L 25., and made out an order upon the Chamberlain of the city to that amount, and paid him the money myself, in order to prevent the inconvenience which might arise to wit nesses from the closing of the chamberlain's office at the time. The result of the inquiry instituted into the cir cumstances led to the apprehension of the prisoner. Alderman Grmas—To how much would the prisoner have been entitled justly Mr. Read—To half-a-crown. Alderman GIBBS—And you have learned that he was not at Cheltenham at all ? Mr. Read—So I understand. The journey to and from Cheltenham was got up merely as an excuse for making the demand ; and we make every Inspectorexertion a a r t e t h he an o t office d t o h p e r e t v e e o n k t f the e u d p s r o he i s f e t ner k i ind. n to custody at his residence, in Mercers'-court, St. Mary. at-Hill, ter the fraud. presenceMr.o la h rl e ze wasclfierrk first o h f ro t n h g earraigns, ht,destred int t o ha w t •ho h s e e he should be taken before a magistrate.

Alderman GIBBS—Did he attend the trial? Inspec tor Merchant—He did ; and he gave evidence upon the trial, whi c h was f or stea li ng a coat ; and I told him to take the coat to the prosecutor. On Sunday morning I sent for the prisoner's clothes as he was dismissed, and I learned that he was at home at the time. Alderman Grass—For what was he dismissed ? In spector Merchant—For misconduct. The prisoner said, that having left the force, he in tended to go home to his father, and he did go to Chel tenham on Sunday afternoon, and returned at one o'clock on the next morning to London. He asked the gentleman who had been first examined, whether he could have his expenses, as he had travelled so far, and he did not think he was doing wrong in receiving the money, but if the Alderman had a different opinion, he could at once return the whole amount. Alderman GIBBS—I consider this case a very impor tant one to the publie, in consequence of the great prin ciple it involves. All the counties from which cases are sent to the Central Criminal Court are liable to frauds of this kind as well as the City of London, and I shall, therefore, put the case into the hands of the City soli citor, with directions to proceed. The prisoner was then remanded. William Hudson Blayney was brought up for the pur pose of being identified previously to his removal to Warwick to undergo his trial for having, in conjunction with two other persons, robbed the Warwick and Lea mington Banking Company of ten 1004 bank-notes in Committee M r .

Billingsgate a Market with having attempted to pi c k the pocke s tso te f some of the female dealers in that locality, and with having attacked Mr. Goldham. The prisoner was seen feeling the pockets of several of the fishwomen, and one of them, who had known him as a nuisance in the market, and who had just escaped GUILDHALL. John Swallow, the foreman of the tailors in the ser vice of Mr. Pigott, army contractor, Fore-street, was brought before Mr. Alderman Sidney, charged with robbing his employer. Mr. nobler defended the prisoner. _ . . Mr. Pigott stated, that fn consequence of receiving an anonymous letter, addressed to him at his country residence, he stopped the prisoner as he was about to leave at half-past six o'clock on Saturday. Witness ob served there was something bulky in his pockets, and asked him what he had there. The prisoner replied it was his own property. Witness desired to see what he had, adding, that if he was honest he would not care. The prisoner pulled from each pocket a short length of linen, measuring six yards each. He asked the pri soner how he came by it. He said he bought it of a man named Roberts, who worked for Mr. Kaye, slop seller, in Alders ate-street ; that he was to give him 4s. for i t (about half its value) ; and that he was waiting outside for the money. The porter was sent out, but no person answering to the name or description was there. Mr. Alderman SIDNEY asked how long he had been in employ, and what wages he earned ? Mr. Pigott said he was a cutter, and he gave him 265. per week. He had been in his employ ten years. At the prisoner's lodgings he found some cuttings in cotton and linen, which he presumed had been carried off by the prisoner, from their texture corresponding with that used in the army work. Afr. Hobler asked if there was any mark on the 12 yards of linen by which he could swear to it ? Mr. Pigott said there was not, but it exactly matched the linen used in the business. He produced a pattern. Mr. Alderman SYDNEY asked if he could speak to missing 12 yards or any greater quantity ? Mr. Pigott said he could not miss it. It would be within the duty o: the prisoner, if required, to keep an account of the quanti:y used. Be had cut up many thousands of yards, but had not been required to keep an account. Mr. Hobler urged that the case only amounted to one of having possession of property, and not satisfactorily accounting for it. He believed Mr. Pigott had pressed the case with great sorrow, and had no wish to see the prisoner convicted at the Old Bailey. Mr. Alderman SYDNEY, after some consideration, said a summary conviction would amount to a severe punish ment. It would deprive his family for a time of his earnings, and reduce them to distress, and it would brand his character, and stand in the way of his ob taining or keeping employment hereafter. It would be long before he would regain his position in society. He adjudged him to be imprisoned two months in Bridewell. _ BOW-STREET. George Meade, charged with stealing a waistcoat, a pair of boots, two linen shirts, and one flannel shirt, the property of Capt. Otway, of the Scots Fusileer Guards, in whose service he had been, was again brought up. Captain Otway identified the waistcoat, boots, and shirts produced as his property. The prisoner was committed for trial on the charge of stealing the waistcoat and shirts, which the Captain valued at 1/. The prisoner was then charged with obtaininc , goods from tradesmen upon the false pretence that they were for Captain Otway. Two cases were entered into ; one for obtaining two pair of boots and a pair of fur soles from Mr. Buhl, bootmaicer, of Burlington-arcade ; and the other, of obtaining a black silk neckerchief, or black satin neckerchief, a cravat, flannel waistcoat, and a pair of gloves from a linendraper in Piccadilly. The property obtained from Mr. Buhl was to the value of 21 lls., and the neckerchiefs, &c., were valued at 2/. 13s. The prisoner was also committed on these charges, to which he made no defence, being admitted to bail in his own recognisances for 501., and two sureties for 251. each, but on the charge of felony he was committed without bail. MARYLEBONE. Henry Gardner was brought up by Hooker, on a war rant, charged with having violently assaulted John Larey. The complainant and defendant are both paupers of Marylebone, and it appeared that on a previous after noon they were permitted to go out of the workhouse for a holiday. They drank together at a tavern, where they fell out, and blows were exchanged, and in the evening they returned to the workhouse alluded to. Gardner entered the establishment first, and laid wait in a passage for Larey, upon whom he inflicted several tremendous blows upon the face as he was passing along. Gardner was fined 405., and in default of payment was sent to the House of Correction for a month. A gentlemanly looking young man, who gave his name Charles Jackson, was placed at the bar before the sitting magistrate, Mr. Rawlinson, charged by police constable Scott, 360 S, who stated that on the :previous night he found the prisoner sliding on the footpath in the Avenue-road, St. John's-wood, and he (witness) therefore took him into custody. _ _ _ Mr. RAWLIN SON (to the prisoner)—Judging from your appearance, sir, 3rit are a man who ought to know better than to endanger the lives of the public in this way, by rendering it dangerous for persons to pass along. What have you to say? Prisoner—lt was a thoughtless error, sir, and I'm sorrj for what I have done. Fined ss. Stephen Yearsley, who described himself as a solici tor, residing at Kensal green, was charged with having assaulted some constables of the S division. There was also an allegation of indecent conduct made against him. The prisoner was, for the assault on the police, sen for a month to the House of Correction. James Clark, 1 ichard Prior, and Thomas Hobbs, drivers of omnibuses, were severally charged by Mr. Inspector Hunt, of the D division of police, with leaving their boxes and standing in the Edgware-road longer than necessary on Christmas-day last, opposite the Star and Garter. 95 D proved the two first cases, and the defendants Clark and Prior were each mulcted in the mitigated penalty of five shillings. Hobbs escaping through the circumstance of the officer who made out the summons having mistaken the number of the omnibus. Mr. Joseph Crawford, the proprietor of the above two penny omnibuses, complained of the proprietors of the New-road and Paddington omnibuses being allowed to remain three-quarters of an hour at their starting points, while his men were pounced upon for stopping only nine minutes, and that on Christmas day. Mr. Inspector hunt stated that he served all alike, and that he acted so in consequence of the inhabitants of the surrounding district having made repeated complaints about the nuisance occasioned by the omnibuses ob• strutting the thoroughfares. Mr. RAwLINso said he was there to exercise the law, and could therefore grant no indulgence. CLERKENWELL. A young man, of most respectable appearance, named William Whitelock, was brought up on, remand from last Saturday, on the charge of embezzlement. The brief facts of the case, as stated at the last exami nation, were as follows :—The prisoner had been in the employment of Messrs. Cooper and Co., solicitors, of Hatton-garden, and was entrusted on last Wednesday with a cheque, for the purpose of calling at Somerset House and paying the fees upon the usual annual license fur solicitors, on account of a gentleman named Whittaker, to whom Mr. Cooper was agent in London. Upon inquiries being made of Mr. Whittaker and at Somerset House, it was ascertained that the prisoner had never either called at the Stamp. office nor forwarded any license to Mr. Whittaker ; and some short time after he, having returned to his office, was taxed with the fact, when he acknowledged it to be true, and said he had unfor tunately been induced to expend the greater portion of the money with which he was entrusted. Mr. Cooper attended personally this day, and applied to have the case adjourned, on the grounds of Mr. Whit taker being unable to come to London before Thursday. The application was opposed on behalf of the prisoner, because the charge would be left pending over him for nearly a month, if not tried at the present Old Bailey sessions. Mr. COMBZ said he should remand the case until Thursday, but at the same time he would accept bail for his appearance, himself in 2001., and two sureties in 1001. each. Maria Earnersley and Mary Gibson were charged with stealing a quantity of furniture, the property of Sarah Anne Gibson. I t appeared that the two prisoners took lodgings at the house of the prosecutrix, and on the second day, about three o'clock in the morning, absconded, taking away all the furniture upon which -they could lay thfir hands, or which was at all portable.—Committed for trial. WORSHIP-STREE7. r Mr. Richard King , a merchant, resi ding in Warren street, Fitzroy squa re, was char g ed before Mr. Bro ton, with having c ommitted a violent and u nprovoked assault upon Mr. Jabez Woods, an engineer, i n B ne lersbury. The complainant, a member of the Society of Friends, affirmed that at nine o'clock, on the preceding evening, he got into an omnibus at Stoke Newington, where he had been dining with a party of friends, and shortly afterwards the defendant and a lady entered the vehicle, and seated themselves directly in front of him. In order to sit more commodiously, as the omnibus was crowded with passengers, he found it necessary to stretch out his legs, at which the defendant expressed his dissatisfac tion, and desired him to remove them. Witness in sisted upon his right to retain them in that position, and the defendant thereupon seized hold of one of his legs, and violently thrust it aside. Feeling in di g nant at such treatment, witness raised his foot and kicked the de fendant, upon which the latter instantly struck him a violent blow upon the temple with an umbrella, and caused a severe wound, from which the blood flowed is such profusion as to saturate his dress. One of the passengers immediately wrested. the umbrella from the defendant, and on reaching the turnpike, where the vehi cle stopped, he was given into custody. defendantTrss which h exhibited hie e hadhis wornu pn t handkerchiefo e o eand easin various o, artiet e s of dress and ali of which were stained with blood. Mr. Robert Messer, a gentleman residing in Throg morton-street, and a master builder, named Billing, fully corroborated the complainant's evidence, [aid stated that they observed nothing whatever in the con duct or demeanour of the latter to justify such an attack on the part of the defendant, who acted quite sponta neously, and without any complaint having been made by the lady in his company that she was subjected to any annoyance or inconvenience. In answer to thediaiie, - the defendant said that alter THAMES. An important conviction under the 11th section of the Act Bth and 9th Victoria, cap. 116, "for the protection of seamen entering on board merchant ships," took place at this Court. The Act gives very extensive powers to magistrates which have been very often exercised in a beneficial manner for mariners, but not to so great an extent as on this occasion:—A well-dressed man named Peter Built, about 40 years of age, who was formerly mate of a ship, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing a 201. Bank of England note belonging to Henry Lloyd, a seaman. The prosecutor is a native of Aberdeen, where he had formerly known the prisoner. In the early part of last week,. Lloyd was paid off at Whitehaven, from the ship Acasto, of Aberdeen, after:a successful voyage to Callao, and other places, for guano. On Thursday afternoon the prosecutor and six shipmates arrived in London by the railway, for the purpose of embarking on: board the City of London steam -ship, which was to sail on Saturday morning for Scotland. The prosecutor and the prisoner accidentally met on the Aberdeen-wharf, and the recognition was a joyful one on both sides. The prosecutor asked Raitt if he could recommend him and his shipmates to a lodging for a couple of nights, until the steamer sailed. The prisoner assured the sailors he would take them to a safe harbour, where they would have a snug berth and good treatment, and accompanied them all to a lodging-house, 2, Smith's court, Wapping. Soon after the men were housed the prisoner warned Lloyd that a good many land sharks were about, and advised him to be very careful of his money. Lloyd said he had made a good voyage, and among other moneys had a 20/. Bank of England note. The prisoner said - he would take care of it for him until the steamer sailed, and the unsuspecting sailor de livered it to his countryman, never dreaming that any advantage would be taken of him. The prisoner depo sited the note in a small box in the presence of Lloyd and his landlady, and after locking it placed it in a drawer. On Saturday morning, shortly before the steamer sailed for Aberdeen, Lloyd asked for his note, and the prisoner unlocked the box in which the note had been deposited, and expressed the greatest astonish ment on finding it empty. He said the note was gone, that he had been robbed of it, and that Lloyd must put up with the loss. The prosecutor, however, would not do so quietly, and gave the prisoner into the custody of Shain, a Thames Police constable. That officer gave a very bad account of the prisoner, and said he had been leading a very dissipated life, and cohabited with a woman of loose character at a house in Smith's-place, opposite the one where the sailors had been lodging. No one could obtain access to the box where the note was deplsited. Mr. YARDLEY asked the prisoner what he had done with the 201. note? The prisoner said he left the note in a box, and it had been stolen. He could not say what had become of it. Mr. YARDLEY did not believe a word the prisoner had said, and had no doubt whatever he had appro priated the 201. note to his own use. If the prisoner did not at once restore the note to the sailor he would punish him severely. The prisoner said he could not give up the note. Mr. YARDLEY said he should enforce the provisions of the Act for the protection of merchant seamen, which he considered was a very useful one, and he made an order on the prisoner to restore the 201. note he had illegally detained, and to pay in addition a penalty of 10/ ; and, in default of doing so, to be imprisoned in the House of Correction for six calendar months, and kept to hard labour. He c onsidered this was a very bad case, and de served the mua.imum punishment awarded by the Act of Parliament. The prisoner said he could not pay the money, and was forthwith committed to the House of Correction. Charles Cloake, a labourer in the employ of the East evidence Company, that the prisoner was from coffee o Dock th fr e om the dock. was charged with steal nn It sugar West appe a India aren dd l eav i ng t h e West India Dock on Saturday afternoon, when his bulky appearance attracted the notice of Gladwell, a constable, who took him into custody, and upon searching him found, in a bag tied round his loins with a bit of string, and under his clothes, 241bs. of raw coffee. In his nec kerchief was found an wasartificial e a from r k D e n a d wherethat place.h e had been o n searching at w- rl, atrhiartificial pad, formed of a stocki n g , which contained Ilb. 4.,z. of raw coffee.

The prisoner, in defence, said he committed the rob bery through distress. His wages were only 1.55. per week, and he had to pay 43. per week for his ready furnished apartments, and Is. per week in liquidation of a debt he had contracted, leaving only 10s. for the sup port of himself and family. The prisoner was committed to Newgate for trial. CRUEL TREATMENT OF A SER- VANT WM. BY HER MISTRESS. ALLEGED MANSLAUGHTER.—An inquest was hold last evening at the Lamb, Vere-street, Clare-market, before Mr. Bedford, the coroner, on the body of Mary Ann Campbell, aged fourteen, who, it was alleged, died from the ill usage she received from her mistress, Mrs. Ann Levy, fruiterer, of. North-row, Covent-garden. Ann Campbell, of No. 19, New Church-court, said that the deceased, her daughter, had been in the servic of Mrs. Levy in Covent-garden, for the last eleven weeks On Wednesday, Dec. 16, Mrs. Hughes, who keeps the shop next to Mrs. Levy, came and told witness that the deceased was being dreadfully beaten by her mistress, and to interfere immediately if she would not have her killed. Witness went, and found the deceased in the shop screaming; she asked what was the matter, when the deceased answered that her mistress had been kicking her in the back, and that while she was scrubbing the floor she (her mistress) had put her head under the grate, and burnt her forehead. She showed witness the ashes still on her hair. Witness went up stairs to Mrs. Levy, and asked what the girl had done to deserve such punish ment; and the reply was, that she (deceased) would not clean the place, and that she had not been treated bad enough. As her mistress promised not to beat her again, she went away, leaving the deceased, but at twelve o'clock that night she ran home to witness, and immediately upon entering the room fell down in a fit. After recovering a little she vomited a large clot of blood the sine of her hand. Her back and shoulders were quite red and black with bruises. Deceased remained in bed for several days following, attended by Mr. Brooks, the King's su rgeon , and on Wednes d ay l ast was ta k en to King's College Hospital, in which she died the next day. Mrs. Ele anor H ughes, fruiterer, sa id s h e res id e d next door to the deceased, in Covent-garden. On Wednesday fortnight she heard the d( ceased cry out, " Oh, don't beat me," an d " Oh, d on ' t b urn m e," and at the same time heard Mrs. Levymake use of the most horrible language. Mr. Walter Gill, house physician of King's College Hospital, said the deceased was admitted on Wednesday last. He found a yellowish mark upon her back, the said should be wasb effect of a b ru i se. She was then too weak to allow of an examinatio n , an d kept gradually sinking until the next day, when a t one o ' clock she died. No post mortem examination had b een made. e ab p s r o o l v u e t d ely by n a ec p e o s A s t ar n y zor t t h e a m t the T c h a e us C e O o ß rd E e ß ath sai s examination, and adjourned the inquest for that rose. purp SIGNS 07 INCREASING CIVILISATION.—Drinking less wine—subscribing for a monument to Shaksi eare— admiring the cuts, but cutting the jokes of Punch, and visiting the Establishment of the Messrs. Ross and Sons, of Bishopsgate-street, and selecting from their New In ventions, articles for the Toilet, as Byron says— " To keep you beautiful or leave you neat." SUDDEN DEATIL—On Sunday morning an old man, named Fisher, suddenly fell down in Kensington Church during the performance of early service. He was conveyed to the ve:try•room, where it was ascer tained immediately that life was extinct. Name of Company. Amount of Share. Paid. Alliance /Init. and For.

StoAa.—Business in the raw Sugar market was resumed this day. Merchants displayed much firmness, and refused to sell, excepting at prices is per cwt above those that prevailed prior to the holidays. The trade were desirous to operate, and in both grocery and refining sorts a good business was trans acted, the dealers evidently having allowe I their stocks to get to a low ebb. The quantity sold in the- private market amounted to 660 hbds and tierces, and there was but a small and indifferent assortment. At public sale 152 hhds of Barbadoes went off with spirit at a rise on the rates of the last auction of Gd to Is per cwt. The market closes with a firm aspect for all kinds of raw Sugar. ReFixEn.—To-day refined goods were in excellent request by the home trade, and prices were firm—brown grocery lumps at 645, and standard lumps at 651 per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar is wanted, and first sort is selling at 33s 6d to 33s 9d per cwt. MAIIIIITIUS.—This afternoon the quantity submitted to public competition was large, and amounted to 6,775 bags, and 211 casks, the chief part of which consisted of the better qualities of yellow. The trade were willing to operate, and the whole sold at prices showing a rise on those of the last auctions of 6d to Is per cwt. _ EAST bana.—For Bengal the market has an improving appearance. By private contract to day several parcels were disposed of ; and at public sale 550 bags of white Benares went 6d per cwt. higher. Madras was in excellent request; and 5,821 bags at public sale. all out of condition, t old at a rise on former rates of is per cwt. FOREIGN.—A good demand existed to-day for all sorts of foreign sugar for home consumption by private treaty, and rather higher rates were paid. The export orders are, how ever, still small; but for the sorts available for that purpose only: holders refuse to submit to any further reduction in price. A fair demand exists for refining under bond. Motansas.—Prices cannot be quoted higher for West India at present, but the demand has been brisker, and 22s to 26s per cwt is the value of low to fine quality. COFFEE.—This afternoon Native Ceylon met with less at. tention, and the parcels offered at auction, amounting to 1,824 bags, were taken in. Holders remained firm, and in sisted upon former improved rates. Mocha has been in good demand privately, and prices are on the advance for clean sorts. 11/M.—Bengal met with increased attention, and a further advance has taken place in the value: extensive purchases have been made privately, and the rates paid are 2s to 2s 6d per cwt above those that prevailed two weeks back ; the whole on offer has been cleared off the market, indeed, the stock is nearly all in second hands. Srnure.—The market has an improving appearance for all descriptions of Jamaica Rum,. a good demand having prevailed from the home trade, and exporters operated with more freedom ; the rates paid have been above those pre viously current. Leeward Island Rum has been in excel lent request ; the supply at market is at present small, and prices are improving. East India has been in good demand, and the rates paid are rather above those previously current. Demerara of strong quality has been sold to a fair extent, and at stiffer prices. For Brandy a brisk demand has sprung up, chiefly for home consumption, and prices have improved for all sorts. Ge neva met with a much better demand, and prices advanced to 2s 7d to 2s 8d for common shipping sorts, and 3s 2d to 3s 6d for fine for home consumption. For British Corn Spirits the demand is active, and supplies being but moderate, to gether with the high rates of grain, caused the distillers to advance the price of all descriptions, the quotation for Corn Spirits being now 11. 9d, Scotch and Irish, lls 8d nett cash. Osns.—There has been a good business transacted in Seal and having a small supply, buyers are compelled to pay stiffer rates. Cod has been only in , limited request, and having a better supply there are sellers upon rather lower terms. Southern is wanted, and owing to the limited supply a further advance in the value took place. For Olive the demand has been brisk, and advanced rates given. Palm met with ready buyers, and holders are very firm. Cocoa Nut is in scanty supply, and being much wanted, prices are rising. In Rape Seed Oil a good deal has been done, and at better prices. For Linseed Oil prices have not improved, there being still a plentiful supply, but the home demand has been good. TALLOW.—There has been a brisk demand for Russian on the spot, and the rates paid have been rather above those previously current. For forward delivery there has been little passing. Home-made has been in excellent request. In other sorts of Tallow a good business has been done at full rates.
