Darid Munroe, about 15 years of age, was charged with
vilfully firing at and injuring Fanny Fitzjohn.
The complainant, who is • young person of respectable,
sppearanoe, had manifestly suffered considerably, and her
Ice pre.ented a remarkable disfigurement from being
attoed as it were with blue specks. She kept a hand
,ver one eye, and the other was observed to be slightly
sffected. Her evidence was this:-1 live at No. 276,
oity-road, and am • machinist. On the afternoon of the
4th May last 1 was in the miens of the Standard Theatre,
There I and the prisoner were employed. He became very
woublesome, and when I reprehended him he got some guns
wed in the theatre, and standing about a yard from me
red at my fare. I beard the caps snap. and I went from
am, threatening to tell Mr. Brown. Shortly afterwards
56 again fired at me. end I fell. I was taken to the hos-
alai, and have been there since, suffering great pain • the
nght of both eyes was despaired of, and I can scarcely see
sow.

heard the report of a gun, followed by a cry. Complainant
was on the floor. One eye wu bleeding very much.
,parks were on her face, and her frock was on Ere. The
prisoner ran away. I afterwards picked up some pieces of

SINGULAR ROBBERY Or A CASH.BOX.

Henry If ebb, a notorious convicted thief, who has recently
undergone four year' penal servitude, was charged with
being cemented, with a female in custody, and a man sot
ia custody, in stealing a rash-box containing about 10/. in
gold and silver from the Rodneyliead, Little Sußolkatreet,
Borough.
Mr. W. Edwin appeared for the accused.
Itappeared from the evidence of Mrs. Martha Brows, the
wife of the proprietor of the house, that, daring her hus-
band's absence, on the afternoon of the 13th nit, the female
prisoner came into the house and entered the parlour. where
she was supplied with a gime of ale soda newspaper. Shortly
afterwards a man in the dress of a butcher came to the bar
and called for some liquor, and asked for the paper
of the day before. Wham supplied him, and then
a well-dressed man, whom she recognised as the prisoner,
cane in and had a glass of stout, and asked to look at that
day's newspaper, which the lady was reading. Witness
went into the parlour to ask her for it, when the but-
cher man suddenly pushed her into the room sod closed the
door behind her. She was completely imprisoned in the
room with the female for some time ; but at last her cries
brought to her amateur" a neighbour, who released her,
and when she entered the bar she missed the cash-
box and the whole of the contents. The female attempted
to get away, but, being certain that she was concerned in
the robbery, witness detained her and gave her into cus-
tody. Waiter was positive that the prisoner was one
of the two men who came to the bar just before the
robbery was committed.
Mr. Edwin, on behalf of the prisoner, contended that the
mosscutrix was mistaken as to his identity. He denied
being near the house on that day.
Evidence was given that the prisoner had not been long
out of custody, sitersuffering four year.' penal servitude, and
that he lived with the female who was also in custody on
the same charge.
The Magistrate observed that the evidence was so con-
clusive that he felt found to commit him also for trial.
Committed accordingly.

alarmed by the report of an explosion at the extensive pre-

were soon spread about as to the number of
meow killed. Unfortunately, however, the accident
resulted in the death of a man and a boy and
injury to two other of the workmen. It appears that
Messrs. Cowan are also sager refine= and the explosion
happened in that part of the works. About 4 o'clock, while
the works were in full operation, one of the sugar pans sud-
denly exploded with great force, the noise of which was
beard on the other side of the neer. William Ives, a boy,
and Patrick Tully, who resided at Hammersmith,
were killed, and their bodies were removed to
the Boileau Arms public-house, in the Hannuersmith-
inidge-road, Barnes, to await an inquest. The other two,
who were very much injured, were immediately taken to
the West Loudon Hospital, in Hammersmith, where every
attention wu paid to the sufferer,. The cause of the
explosion will be fully investigated by Mr. Carter, the
coroner, who received information of the unfortunate
cccurrenee on the same sight.
