COURT OF BANKRUPTOY.--SzPr. 11.
(Before Mr. Ooraminioner Faae.)

man, and be escaped by jumping into the river. I heard
my brother constable call out " Murder !" and " I am
stabbed !" I then turned back to his assistance. I met the
prisoner full butt, running, and I struck him with my stall;
and knocked him down, and took him to the station. He
did not say a word. I 'earthed him, and in his side coat
pocket I found a pocket-handkerchief belonsiog to the pro-
secutor. I fotind on the prisoner a soldier's discharge,
which showed that he was convicted of burglary at
Aldershott

Policeeergeaut William Monahan 38 N, said— I was on
duty at the Homey station whet the prisoner was brought
in on this charge. I took off his hat to look at the nature
of the wound, and found the knife produced in his hat.
Hearing that the constable was stabbed, 1 examined it,
and found marks of blood on the large blade. The blood
was quite fresh.
Inspector Bywater said that there was a previous convic-
tion egatest the prisoner, but it was not then present.
There was oleo another charge of burglary against the pri-
soner. . . .

The prisoner said he did not wish to ask any questions,
or to make any defence.
Mr. Barker committed the prisoner to the Central Crimi.
nal Court for trial on this charge.

The prisoner wu next charged with burglariously break-
ing and entering the dwelling-house of George Richards
Burnett, Eeq., distiller, South-lodge, Enfield-chase, sod
stealing silver plate and other articles of the value of lOW.,
on the 10th of August last.
Yr. George Richards Barnett reside at South
Lodge, Enfield Chase. I am • rectifier, Oa the morning
of the 10th 1 found that the house, which is my dwelling-
house, had been entered in the night. I beard of it between
six and seven o'clock in the morning. My plate, a pair of
opera glasses, and other property, in value over 100 f., was
missing. 1 found a piece of • candle in the dining room.
The candle had been burnt. The thieves stole the drawing-
roolll candlesticks.

Mr. Francis Wingfield Robinson said—l reside with the
last witnem, and did so in August last. Mr. Burnett
is my uncle. On the night of the 9th of
August I left the hat produced, and which
was taken from the prisoner, hanging in the halL The next
morning I missed it. The thieves left three caps for the
three hats they stole. They also stole a coat belonging
to me.

Police-sergeant Monohto, 38 N, said—On the 4th of the
present month the prisoner was brought to the station on
another charge. He wore the hat produced, and which
was identified by the last witness.
Anna Maria Dale said—l am servant to Mr. Burnett. On
the morning of the 10th of August lest I got up before 6,
and was downstairs at 10 minutes past 6. I found the
kitchen passage door open. It is a half glaas door. I
found a square of glass taken cb-an out. It was
not broken. A person by that means could reach
one of the inner bolts. I also found a square of glass in a sky-
light over the door broken, by which the other bolt fasten.
ing the door could be reached. I found a quantity of
candle-grease on the floor in different places, and also some
on the plate-basket from which the plate bad been stolen.
Robert Asher said—l am butler to Mrs. Burnett, of
Selby Lodge, Brighton. My mistime was on a visit to Mr.
Burnett, at Enfield. On the night of the ;kb nit. I was
the hat person up. I went to bed about half-pest 11.
I went round the house and saw that all the doors were
properly fastened. The housekeeper went with me. I then
I saw the door which the last witness has spoken of bolted in-
side with both bolt.. I took the plate-basket upstairs, and
placed it in my bedroom. The thieves entered the room
whilst I was asleep, and took the plate and the basket out
of the room.

The prisoner, in defence. said —The night I was taken into
custody I wan at the Manor-house, Rorosey, with • fellow
of the name of John Johnson. He had that hat on, and it
was too bag for him. I gave him sixpence for that hat, and
my esp. lam innocent, and that is all I have to aay.
Mr. Barker fully committed the prisoner to the Central
Criminal Court on this charge.
Henry Dingley, a labourer, was charged with biting off
the fieger of James Ellis, in the Caleclootan-roed.
This was • most shocking cue. The parties bad some
words in the Caledonian-road, and the prisoner struck
another man. The complainant stepped in to prevent the
fight, on which the prisoner caught hold of him by the
middle finger, and bit it nearly off at the middle joint, it
only hanging by the skin. Not content with this be again
bit the complainant's finger, and the surgeon stated that the
whole of the finger would have to come off.
The prisoner said that be was not aware what he did, as he
was set upon by three or four men.
Mr. Barker remanded the prisoner for a week.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Henry Drummond Stuart, a retired major, who refused
hie add;eas, was apprehended on a warrant by Inspector
Bowles, and placed at the bar before Mr. Tyrwhltt, charged
at the instance of the Royal Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals, with harlot; cruelly ill-treated and tor-
tured a female am. -

Mr. Love, secretary to the society, attended to watch
the ease on the 13th of August last.
Mr. Wakeliag prosecuted; acid Mr. Sleigh, instructed by
Mr. Edward Lewis, was for the defendant.
The prisoner was asked whether his name was correctly
described in the warrant.

He replied it vu pot, his name tru William Drummond
Stuart.

Mr. Wakeling, in opening the case, said there was reason
to believe that the owner of the animal bad been kept
away by some one. He thousht, however, he should be able
to make out the charge sufficiently, with the assistance of
a pot-boy as witness, who wail present. The case was one
of the commission of the most disguatiog cruelty on record
towards a female donkey.
Mr. Sleigh objected to any statement that his friend was
not pawed to prove.
r.Wakeling said the constable would prove the lacers-
tion inflicted, and further submitted. if he proved his case
to the satisfaction of the bench, that the defendant should
not be subjected to a pecuniary fine but be punished in
person.
John Young, potions at the Stores, Piccadilly, examined—
I was doing my work at the door side a little before eight
o'clock on the morning of the 13th of August when I saw
• donkey and a barrow coming along. The primmer was on
the barrow with a stick in his hand. I saw him poke the
donkey on a tender part of its hind quarter.
Mr. Wakeling— What do you mean by hied quarters?
Witness—tinder the tail. There were "lota of persons
round the prisoner, who appeared to be sober. I believe
the owner of the donkey was in the house at the time having
something to drink. The owner came out and went off
with the donkey. The prisoner went into the public-house,
bat left soon after the barrow had been driven away.
Mr. Wakeling- Have you seen the owner since?
Witness—Not since last Thursday, when I was here.
Mr. Wakeling—Have you been offered money not to come
here ?

Witness (reluctantly)—Well, sir, I was offered V. at
my own house not to appear.
William Temperley, one of the officers of the society,
went to the residence of the owner of the donkey, in
College-street, Chelsea, a man named Roberta, a greengrocer.
He saw a donkey.
Mr. Sleigh asked this witness if he could prove that the
donkey was the same animal as that referred to by the
potman.
Witness could not. The owner Roberta was at that
court last Thursday to give evidence, but the prisoner did
not appear. He hid tried to find Roberts that day, but had
failed.

Mr. Wakeliog said, under these
uk_for a remand.

be would

Mr. ;aid it appeared moat probable that money
had been given or offered by some one.
Mr. Sleigb, in defence, said hisclieut was • man of humanity
and honour, and hadbeenofficer in her Majesty's ear-

vice. His client totally repudiated the charge as faras in-
tentionally injuring the donkey was concerned. The case
had totally failed in respect of proof, and admitting that
the society had done no more than its duty he was willing
to suggest that on payment of 101. to the poor box, the pro-
secution be withdrawn.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—lt will never do to let such a charge fall
to the ground, or be settled in the way suggested. It is
quite clear thatmoney has been offered to witnesses for what
object there can be no reasonable doubt. I shall remand
the case in order to procure the attendance of the owner of
the donkey, who will be summoned to attend here.
The prismer was admitted to bail.
WANDSWORTH.

After the business of the court had been disposed
of, Mr. Cayman proceeded in • cab, accompanied by
Mr. A. Taylor, the chief clerk, to the house of Henry
Cook, in Battersea-gelds, who was shot in tbe aide
on Monday night by George Robert Kilsby, for the pur-
pose of taking his depositions, as he was considered to be
in • very dangerous state. The magistrate was met at the
house by Inspector Lovelace, who had brought the prisoner
from Horsemonger-lane Gaol, under no order of his wor-
ship. The prisoner was taken up stairs into the
dying man's room, and placed at the foot of hie bed.
He confronted the injured man with a determined
air, and there was quite an amount of fierce-
ness in his demeanour. Cook lay upon his
hack, and appeared in a very low state, Mr. Kempeter, the
medical gentleman attending on him, being obliged to use
restoratives during the examination to prevent him from
fainting.
On being sworn the wounded man stated that his name
yea Henry Cook, and was a grocer, living in Thorsby-plaoe,
Battersea-fields. He had known George Robert Rushy
about sixteen months. He saw him on Monday night last,
between 10 and 11 o'clock, outside his shop door. He saw
him come across the fields with his brother sod his brother's
wife. ihe prisoeerwalked up to him and said, "Well, sir."
He replied, " Well, sir." The prisoner had his right
hand in the left breast of his waiscoat. Wham spoke
to the prisoner's brother and his wife, and
inquired how they were. He was putting up his shutters,
: and the prisoner said, " Where is my wife ?" He told him
that he bad quite enough to look after his own wife without
looking after his. He also told him that he must be very
foolish to ask such a question. He thee finished closing his
shop and went inside to screw up the shutters. He after-
wards stepped outside to take in the boards, sad he then
heard the prisoner say, "Take that, then," and immediately
fired a pistol. The witness then said he became rather ex-
, cited and scarcely knew what happened afterwards. He
I felt that he was shot in the right side. He distinctly saw
• the pistol in the prisoner's baud.
Mr. Taylor—How far were you from him at the time!
Witness—Hardly • yard and • half.
The prisoner—lt was three or four yasda.
Mr. Daymea--Yott must take his answer.
Mr. T.ylor—Whis did you aso him Wore that time!

Witmer —Os the Saturday night previously. I had no
quarrel with him then.
Mr. Taylor—Had you any previous quarrel ?
Witness—Yes, on Friday last. I spoke to him in canoe-
queoce of what my wife told me. I asked him whether be
had told my wife that he heal seen me Ides his wife. He
said he had. In consequence of this we had a severe alter-
cation. He told me he should leave on Saturday night.
He was then lodging in this house.
Mr. Taylor—Had he previously charged you with im-
proper conduct with his wife?
Witness—No. He told my wife on Thursday. and I
spoke to him on Friday. He left my lodiiogs on Saturday.
This was all the ender's*, and Mr. Darman told the pri-
soner if he had any qui:elope to put he must do it ins quiet
manner.

Prisoner—ln the first place—and answer the question
truly—where were you on Saturday after ten o'clock in the
morning!
Witness—ln my business in the shop.
Prisoner—No such thing ; you were out from 10 o'clock
in the morning till 10 o'clock at night.
Witness—l left the shop.
Prisoner—Another question. Tell me what you have
done with my wife.
Witneas—Nothing.

The prisoner hero declined to put any more questions.,
and the depositions of Cook were then read over and signed,
after which the prisoner was removed in a cab to prison.

DREADFUL GUNPOWDER EXPLOSION. - FIVE
PERSONS KILLED.

On Tuesday, at half-past eleven in the morning,
two explosion of powderoocurred at the Neacekuke powder
works, near Redruth, whereby five persons lost their lives,
and two others were seriously injured. Shortly before the
time named above, Mr. Tookin, foreman of the works, and
Mr. Morcom, the clerk, hod poised through and inspected In
theirofticial capacities the various departments of the works,
and had entered the mixing house, when a terrific explosion
occurred in the dry. Within this deertmeot five women
were at work at the time, four of whom were killed, and
the other sadly burnt. Messrs. Tonkin and Moroom, on
hearing the report, immediately ran out of the mixing
department. Mr. Tonkin went into a house where the
charges of material are weighed, and shut the door. Almost
immediately after this the roof was blown up, and Mr.
Tonkin escaped through the window. He was burnt about
the hands and face, but not seriously. Mr. Morcom moped
unscathed, both from the dares (which was thrown off in all
directions) and the violent concussion occasioned by the ex-
plosion.
The second explosion occurred immediately afterwards
in the sifting-room, in which two women were at work, one
of whom wu killed, and the other greatly burnt about
the eyes, face, Sc. One of the workmen, whilst going out
of the dry, was thrown violently forward by the coocus-
sion of the air, but fortunately received no injury. The
dry, mill-house, and sifting-house were completely destroyed.
The engine-house, boiler-home, sod machinery were com-
paratively uninjured.
It is impossible to say, or even to speculate, how or by
what means this lamentable accident occurred in the
drying-house, as all the dry powder had been removed
from that place to the baking and sifting-house, and at the
time of the accident there were 15 cwt. of moist powder
only undergoing the operations of manufacture, bet by
some unaccountable means this must have been the seat of
the accident. Medical and surgical aid was immediately
sent for, both from Camborne and Redruth, and Matra
Tonkin and Morcom, with the assistance of the workmen
on the place, io the meantime did all that could be done
on the emergency to alleviate the sufferings of the survivors,
and to gather up the melancholy remains of the unfor-
tunate dead. .

The following are amongst the killed :—Mary Johns,
aged 40; Betsy Houghton, aged 50; Elizabeth Thomas,
aged 22; Nanny Audrey', age not known. The fifth
person was a young woman whose name and age we
were unable to get. There were two young women
injured, one of whom was Harriet Johns, sister of Mary
Johns, killed. The other was • young woman about 20
years of ago, whose name we have been also unable to
procure.
The drying process is carried on on the safest princi-
ples, at a low temperature, on Zialraa, is a room heated by
steam pipes, and every precaution taken to prevent ac-
cident.— Western Morning News.
