CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

William Capling, 36, • respectable-looking man, pleaded
ggnnllty to a charge of embezzling money, the property of
Coleman Defiles and others, his employers.
The prisoner appeared to have been employed in s confi-
dential capacity by the prosecuton, who carry on a very
extensive liminess in the City of Lapdog, and he took ad
vantage of the opportunity thus afforded him to misap-
propriate various sums of money, amounting in the whole
to more than 200 f., the offence being aggravated by the
fact that the prisoner appeared to have made false entries in
the books of the prosecutors, in order to endeavour to mai -
oral his crime.

Tti;liecorder said it wee a my bed cue, and he sentenced
the priaoess to five years' penal servitude.
John Saunders, 31, was charged with assaulting Ellen
Pinkerton, with intent to do her some grievous bodily
harm.

MT. F. H. Lewis prosecuted.
The husband of the prosecuirix it appeared bad been com-
mitted to prison for some offence, and while be was con-
fined, the primmer managed his business for her, and al-
though he was regularly paid his wages, she stated that he
was constantly importuning her for mousy. She refused to
comply with his request and discharged the prisoner, and
it appeared that after this he renewed hi applications to
her for money, and on the 22nd of August he made an ap-
plication of that character to bar, and she again refused to
do what he wished. The prisoner upon this made use of
violent language to the prceecutrix and threatened her
with violence, and as she was attempting to get away, be
struck her a violent blow on the back of the heed with •
brick, and inflicted • somewhat serious injury upon her.
When the prisoner was taken into custody he said that he
would do for the prosecutriz yet, and be should not mind
having six years' penal servitude if he could only obtain
satisfaction.

The prisoner put • number of questions to the prosecu-
trix, with • view to show that she had grossly miscon-
ducted herself, and that then had been ►n improper con-
oactioo betwee• them, but she stated positively that there
sou no foundation for the suggestions that were m,•de
against bar character.
The jury found the prisoner Go yof unlawfully wound.

fighting with another man, and a large crowd wu collected,
which drew the attention of the unstable, who requested
the prisoner to go away. He declined to do so, and fell
upon the officer, knocking him down, and while on the
ground be kicked him severely in the groin, which has in-
jured him so severely that he had not been able to attend
to his duty since ; and it appeared from the medical testi-
mony that it would be some time before he was in a fit
date to enter upon his duties again.

said he would not have done it had be been sober, wan sen•
