aged ; Rass Chambers, Long-acre, berwomen ; and
RoSiss Gobb,tt in, satire of Poland, were finally placed at
the bar before Mr. Knox (who ie sitting for Mr. Barker).
charged with being in the possesaion of nearly 400 yards of
cloth and • number of coats, supposed to be stolen.
This case has been before the court on several occasions,
and it appear. from the evidence that Mr. Inspector Potter,
the acting inspector of the G division, having reason to
suspect Goldstein of being concerned in some cloth rob-
beries which have lately taken place, searched his premises
at 38. St. Pancras-road, where the cloth in question was
forted. The three other prisoners were apprehended at a
public-house in John-street, Goldenaquare, charged with
stealing the cloth. Cloth to the value of 401. wee identi-
fied as being the property of Mr. Terry, 54, Lambeth-walk.
A charge was made against Goldstein, under the Bankruptcy
Act, of concealing goods from his creditors, but it was not
sustained. A former conviction was proved against Har-
rison, and Inspector Potter said at the trial he would be in
• positwn to bring another charge of robbery against
Strettoo.

The prisoners were committed for trial

Jame. Brvs to, a hawker, was brought up by Brickleer,
67 td, charged with committing • murderous assault on Ann
Bradly with • poker.
Brickleer said that about two o'clock that morning he was
called to a house in Kent-street by • man named John
Bradly, who told him be believed his wife had been mur-
dered by a man in the neighbourhood. Ile asked him where
it was. and he pointed out the house, which was closed up.
He knocked at the door, and being refused admission he
went to the back, and was compelled to force his way in,
when he saw the prisoner, and Bradly pointed him oat as
the man who had assaulted his wife. He accordingly took
him into custody.
The magistrate asked whether he saw the injured female?
Bricklear replied that she was not at her house. Some of
the neighbours had removed her to the hospital. He pro.
needed there and ascertained that she had received a severe
wound on the heel, and that she was is a precarious state.
The Magistrate asked if he knew how the assault was
committed ? The officer replied that be understood the
prisoner used a poker. When he took him into custody
the prisoner admitted that, and said that be was attacked
by the lot, and he used it in self-deleoce.
. . .

In answer to the charge the prisoner said that a lot of
people bunt into his house end attacked him, and be
thought be should have been murdered. Ile took up the
poker oolr to protect himself.
The Magistrate told him from what the officer bad
stated be appeared in • serious position. He should,
therefore, remand him until Saturday next.
Mar,' An, 11..rrisod was charged with assaulting and
threatening a young woman who attended as a witness in •
trifling ease of assault. As she was leaving the court the
prisoner rushed at her, seized her by the hair of the bead,
and struck her a severe blow on the face, at the same time
threatening to bolt murder her.
Mr. Burcham told the prisoner her aoudad vu extremely
bad. and he should take care to protect all persons coming
forward as gentlemen in this court. He accordingly eels-
teoced her to one month's bard labour in Wandsworth

wee then removed by the gaoler.

Mary Jane Welk, a young woman, the wife of a mechanic,
was brought before Mr. Partridge charged with wilfully and
maliciously breaths' fire panes of glass in the house, No. 6,
Mandell-street, Poplar.
. . . .

Anne Harris, a 'Single woman, stated that she lived with
her sister at No. 6, Roodell•street. On Monday at twelve
o'clock she went to • drawer and wound op her gold watch.
Two hours afterwards she wanted to use her watch; in
fact, she intended to wear it. On going to the drawer where
she had left the watch it was gore. She charged bar sister
and the prisoner with stealing the watch, and threatened to
give both into custody if it was not forthcoming. The mi.
goner said she had sever taken the watch. le the course of the
day the prisoner went out, and her husband followed her
and said, "My dear, allow me to put a pin in your shawl, it
is open, and 7ou will catch cold." The ruse succeeded, and
while the prisoner's husband wax pretending to adjust her
shawl, he took from her bosom the missing gold watch and
chain.

breaking windows.

THE LEGAL VACATION.—The offices of the COM-
moo law courts will not be re-opened until Thursday morn-
ing, and there will be no judge in atteadance at the judges'
chambers until Monday, the 2nd proximo.
LOST is THE S'ow.—A melancholy discovery
was made last Wednesday in a wood about two miles die-
tact from Major Gordon Duff's mansioo at Drummttir. It
appears that Major Duff and party were roe-hunting in this
wood, which is not a very great distance from tbe farms of
Caobenheed and Maine of Towiebeg. A roe was observed to
make out of a copse, which occasioned • postal cry to fire.
Mr. Charles Chiller, head
.gamekeeper to Major Duff, im-
mediately tired at the frightened animal. Oa turning
ratted he stumbled upon sometbieg of a yielding nature,
from which he had partially shaken off the snow by the
suddenness with which he had come in contact. The game-
keeper at once saw that he Lad stumbled op the feet of
a human body—the limbs having been divested of their
li gooey covering by hie cooing again: them. The body
I was that of a woman rather under the middle stature
(about sfeet 3 MA's), and supposed to be about 40 year. of
age. The rennin.' of this poor wanderer had evidently
lain there for three weeks or a nmatb —at least such was
the opinion of those who saw the body. Decomposition
hod tot taken place t, say great extent, save on the feet,
! winch, not brio' so thickly covered with snow as the other
parts of the body, bad begun to exhibit symptoms of decay.
She was poorly clad, having only a windy petticoat, stays
laced in float, and an under garment on her body. This
last.mentioned article of apparel, as well as the checked
"slop" lying beside her, afford some clue to the poor wan-
derer's history. On these things were marked the letters,
" G. City P. H.." which no doubt mean the Glasgow City
Poor-house. NVe know cot whether it is a practice wills the
Glasgow parochi authorities to allow the paupers to leave
with the house clothes upon them ; if not, then it is certain
that this woman, who has come to such an untimely end,
must have loft unknown to her legal guardians. Neer the
body was • small basket, with a half urine, of tobacco and
an ounce of tea, untouched, just as they bed been carefully
tied by the merchant who supplied them. The medical
gentlemen were moat careful in their ex uninatioo, and the
verdict, which they eventually pronounced was " Perished
from exposure." The stomach was found quite empty,
save a little water, and the digestive organs were in a very
bad state. One or two people in the district remember •
woman, attired in a similar beggar'. garb,
cal ling about three weeks previous, evidently
making it her vocation to beg from door to door.
Except some articles of attire, however, little recognition
could be made, as no one in the quarterr can speak with
any certainty of ever melee the deceased before. It is the
general impression that the poor wcman bad lost her way on
that stormy Saturday about three weeks ago. She must
; have wandered on, is the teeth of the blinding storm, until,
unconsciously, she entered the wood which crowns the brow
of a mountain to the north-east of Drsmmuir Castle. There,
perhaps, it the rain endeavour to reach the open country,
she bad plunged deeper into the wood, and having wandered
till benunibed, or unable. from want of sustenance, to pro-
ceed further, she had lain herself down under the branches
of the yew tree—from whence her voice, however shrilly
it might pierce the drifticg storm, could reach no human ear
—and there, alone and mimeo, with the cold snow gather-
iog over and around her, the poor wanderer had passed away
to another world.-11., nth!, Express.
ALARMINGths•CREENVE AT A LIVERPOOLTHEATHL
—Au occorreeee, happily unattended with serious conse-
quence., but which shows the necessity of basing ample
means of 'gem front places of amusement, took place on
Monday night at the Adelphi Theatre. The house was
crowded in every pert. About half-past 9 o'clock, while
the pantomime was being performed, en alarm of fire was
raised by some one in the pit. The greatest excitemeet im-
mediately took place amongst the &adieux*, and a large
number of persons made for the doors. The crushing that
ensued was terrific, and several persons were trodden under
foot and injured. The gallery was packed with a number
of young parsecs, and on the alarm Wipe given titers was a
terrible rush made for the staircase, sod the utmost con.
fusion for a time prevailed. The police officers stationed
at the theatre did their utmost to restore order but, tot.
withstandieg their efforts, med. rushed from the
theatre, believing the building to be on fire. Oo order
being restored, it was found that the alarm was entirely
groundless, and that oo fire bad take, place. What led to
the alarm being mind is entirely matter of conjecture, but
it is supposed that some timid person in the pit, unaccus-
tomed to scenic effects, seeing the brilliancy of the "water
scene " in the pantomime, was lad to believe that some of
the scenery had taken fire, and consequently raid the cry
that the place was in flames. It was found that in the
crush several persons, chiefly boys, had received contusions,
bruises. Lc. They were taken to the St. Anne's Diapeneary,
where they received every attention. The staircases leading
from the gallery of the theatre and other parts of the building
were somewhat broke' in the crush, but beyond that ao
serious damage occurred, and after order was metered the
performance went on so usual.—Lierrpoof Mercury.
