lodging-house, in the Mist, and Jabs Harwood a yottog
fellow years of age, were brought up far fealesamiaa-
tioo,
charged with oommitting a murderous manna upon
Abigail Doughty, and robbiug her of some silver money.
The prosecutrix, who was in wholessate from having
bad two of her ribs broken, and the of her bod mush
bruised, said that on Saturday afternoon, the 16th instant,
she was a lodger in the Ned-house, and while in the
kitchen with thirty or forty other lodgers, she had some
words with tho female prisoner, who ran op against her and
nearly knocked her down. ln the scuffle witness tore
her epos. when the prisoner again rushed at her and
called her most disgusting names. She then called
the male prisoner towards her, and told him to assist her in
moving her out of the house into the street. The female
seined hold of her and stamped on her severed times, and
when she was partially insensible threw her into the street
with great violence. At the same time the male prisoner
tore her handkerchief from her right band, eostatoing a
shilling and sixpence, all her money in the world. She was
in that painful state that she was unable to prevent him.
While lying on the groped a constable came up and carried
her into the workhouse, when she wee attended by the
doctor, and had up to the present time remained in the
infirmary. Two of her ribs were broken, and the whole of
her body wsa covered with bruises.
_ _ _

Ooe of the nurses of St. George's workhouse said that she
recollected the complaisant being brought into the isir-
mary. The doctor examined her, and found two of her ribs
were broken.

and robbery, and from a description given by the prawn-
Ws he took the prisoners into custody.
Both prisoners denied the charge altogether. The female
said tho prosecutrix got fighting with other ►odge's, sad
mast have hart herself by (Alin about.

Dragon, said the primmer went in there on the previous night
Ina state of intoxication and saked for • pint of beer, with
which he wee supplied.
Mr. Partridge Yea ought sot to baste served him while
be was inebriated. It is highly improper.
Mr. Wickine—Oue of my people served him and wee not
aware be was tipsy. Directly I discovered be wee drunk I
ordered him to leave the house. He refused, and am-
mooed fighting. I requested him to leave, and be said,
"No, I will not," and threatened to punch my bead.
I called in a plies-eotudable, who was ill, and had been
laid up for some time, and was afraid to touch him. A
wound officer came, and they got him out. Both were
theaultiad by the prisoner, who was exceedingly violent. I
am extremely sorry he was served with anything in my
house.

lbOmar Porkies, 561 K, mid he found the prisoner in
front of the ber of the Green Dragon. He desired him
to move out, and on rsfositg to do so be collared him,
when prisoner struck him a very severs blow on the breast.
He called too mor•sesieteaos, and got the prisoner out of
the boom.

meet by which a direct line of railway between the large
I and important towns of Northampton and Banbury was
authorised. The present railway communication between
those towns will be lessened by 27 mild It was antici-
pated that the line woad prove very remunerative, lbws
being upwards of 401,000 toes of the Northampton-
shire Iron ore annually sent into South Wales, which
was now conveyed by a most circuitous route, but which
this line will accommodate at a great saving of time
and mileage. The railway was also important as being
one which must become a main line in a commuoication
meeting the east of Borland with the west. The directors
were happy to say that they had concluded a contract for
the construction of the line, thus insuring the immediate
oommeeoemeet of the work,. Having referred to various
bills in parliament in which the company would be mate-
rially benefited, the directors concluded their report by
expressing a sanguine hope that the undedakieg would be
most successful. On the motion of the chairman, secoadd
by Mr. Wiled, the report was adopted. Messrs. Alexander

still considerable inquiry, many spinners Gilding difficulty
in procuring such wools as will exactly satisfy their imme.

Saturday tended to produce peat quietness in the early pass
of the week, but the depression has entirely passed away to.

into the lace trade. Buyers are operating with more coo.
fideooe for the home trade, as it Ina become more evident thin
before that there is no immediate prospect of any giving war
in the price of yarns. In fact the markets have been firine*r
for all kinds during the Wt week. There has been more
inquiry for white stiff nets, fancy cotton laces,
mechhos, as well as for black and other silk goods. The
foreign trade is about the garnet ea lest week, but hopes ore
entertained of a revival, rending a favourable solution 1,

of the hosiery trade, likewise, there sre uonnstekaable
signs of improvemett, not only for the home trade, but
