CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

THIS DAY.

The July smoke of the above nut was opened this
moralag before the Might Hon. the Lord Mayor, the Right
Hos. the Recorder. Mr. Alarmist Finds, Sir Henry
Maggeridge, and Sir C. D. Creeley. Sheriffs; Mr. Under
Sheriff Farrar, Mr. Under Sheriff A. Crosby, to., &s.
The fret edition of the ealendar soutane the MUMS of 64
prisms's.
The Recorder, in .barging the grand jury, said that
owing to the short pond that had elapsed since the
last seed= there wen only 61 prisoners for trial, brat some of
the charges were of every serious nature. Then were two
eases of murder to be disposed of. The Ant was a charge
against a man named Foley, of having caused the death of
his wife by brutal iltreatment, and there appeared to be
no doubt from the evidence that the violence he had eon-
cised towards her wee the cans of her death, and the only
question was whether that violence was committed under
such circumstances of deliberation as to make the crime

that of wilful murder. The other ease of murder was one
in which a woman of profligate character was charged
with the murder of her child by refusing It aufllcsent
nurture, mid it appeared to him, from a persist
of the depositions, that it would be the wafer course for them
to dad the ►ill, in prier that the can might be fully in-
quired into by the petty jury. Hie lordship then
said that he observed that oeveral person of the dose
known as ticket-of-leave men were charged with very
serious offenses; and he thought it was wall deserving of
consideration whether some alteration might not be made in
the system of granting tlekets of leave to convicts. They
had spitting, however, to do with the matter in that court;
but, litho system should turn out to be really injurious to
the public letterset, be trusted that the government and the
legislature would take some stops to remedy the evil.

THE POLICE COURTS.
THIS DAY.

A stiff built fellow, wh;lay;i17;;;;;of Wi7liaae Les,
was planed at the bar before Mr. Henry, on a charge of
attempting to break into the dwelling-house of Mr. Wildest
Clements, one of the proprietors of the Observer, at Dul-
wish.
William Sharma, gardener to Mr. Clements, doomed
that about three o'clock in the morales, he was awoke by
the load barking of a dog, and on looking out of his bed•
room window, he saw the prisoner attemptinf to get into his
master's kitchen. He first endeavoured to hit up the lower
sash, and then to pull down the upper, and not suooeeding he
went mike kitchen door. Witneminstantly went downstairs
sad, opening the door, found the prisoner outside with his
sham off. he asked him his business, and the primmer re-
plied that he had been drinking. and could not say bow he
got then. The prisoner at this time had • dog with him,
whisk he maid was his own.
A gentleman who resides close to the bones of Mr. Cie-
menu identified the dog found in the possession of the pri-
soner as his, and said that the animal was tied up in the
yard, and was safe there at a late boar on the Saturday
night.
The defence set up by the prisoner was that he bad bun
stioking, and could not amount how it was that he had got
to the phew. The dog had to/lowed him.
The witnesses were recalled, and swore that the prisoner,
so far from being drunk, was quite sober.
Mr. Henry observed that there could not be a second
opinion as to the object of the prisoner's visit, and committed
him to prison for three months, with bard labour.

THE NEWSPAPERS UNDER TER NEW ACT.

The shops of the various aew !menden of the metro-
polis and the Gemini Poet-office presented carious scenes
of ornfusionon Saturday ensiling on the occuioa of the first
double delivery of thejournals. We hear of the sacrifice of
u vast number of the weekly pipers at St. Martin'e.ls.
Grand—at lout, they weld be delivered only on oonditious
which rendered their destruction Ibis better fate. In
{homed. of instances the postal directions, to fold the
papers so as to show the stamp, bad been disregarded, sad
the postal ehargeed le. 83. and le. 4d. per copy were made.
In ether oases, the papers and suppleasts (unstamped)
were foul, at the last hour, to be above the bulk carried
by the penny postage stamp. Many of the newevendere
defame that they can cooly hops that their subscribers will
net be disappointed. The papers were east indiserinsinately,
eincet recklessly, epos the facie! waters.

Natty esstradistory statements have bees made as to the
tones upon which newspapers will be easveyed by the rail-
way oesspenies. The following is oficial:—The London
and North-Western, Midland, and Northern Railway Com-
panies have made arrangements, in conjunction, for the

existing rate for parcels, provided that is no we the charge
for a single package be las than Id. A single newspaper
daily is conveyed to any station oa the Leaden
and North-Western Railway, at a charge of 21s. per an-
atm, payable in advance, and for each additional newspaper
conveyed in the sass parcel a further charge is made of
les. 6d. per annum. The Leaden and North-Western
Railway Company, in giving notice of this arrangement,
moire that the packages shall be open at the ends, and
contain only newspapers, or sash periodicals as ab:ve de-
scribed, and that they shall have authority to stamina them

lafringal
The London and flonth.Western Company charge for a
