CLERKENWELL.

Min Thews Or;i7 otherwi,. on.7seger, an entrees and
singer, appeared pursuant to her bail before Mr. Tyrwhitt,
I for final examination, charged with stabbing
_William Lam-
bert Edmonds, a profeetional sham, of No. 10, Upper
Islington-terrace.
Edmonds now said—Your worship, I am now recovered.
I never made a charge of stabbing against the defendant,
nor do I wish to do so. The fact is we had a quarrel
together; she was cutting some bread at the time, and I
was stabbed, but I believe, and I entertain no doubt, that it
was quite an accident. I again repeat that I never made
any charge against her.
11r. Tyrwhitt said the defendant wag discharged.

Edmund Eseblo, in the employment of Mr. Banks,
builder, Victoria-street, Westminster, was charged with
having distributed unlawfully a certain indecent paper, con.
trai7 to the statute.
Mr. Lewis, of Ely-plus, was engaged for the defendant.
Harriett Dison, a very intelligent girl, aged 14, said—l
am living with my uncle and aunt, at No. 27, Tothill-
, street. On Monday afternoon last I wee walking along
Victoria-street, when the defendant flung a piece of paper
on the pavement before me, and I picked it up. I did not
look at it, for my aunt came up and took it out of my hand.
The paper, which wee put in, was one of a most disgust-
ing character.
Ann Clerk, aunt of the complainant, said that she had
seen the defendant frequently before the day in ques-
tion, and that she distinctly observed him, after he had
thrown down the paper, lean over the verandah. She re-
ceived the paper from her niece, the ink on which was moist
at the time.

Mr. Lewis was instructed to say that the complainant and
her aunt were entirely mistaken as to the identity of the
defendant. The learned gentleman then directed Know-
land, the summonsing officer, to call Mr. Banks, defend.
ant's employer, but he was not forthcoming.
Mr. Long said the evidence was most clear against the
prisoner, and he regretted that he had only power to inflict
a penalty of 40s.
The fine was paid.
LAMBETH.

Elizabeth Dice and Thomas Dice, her son, who had been
in custody since Thursday last on • charge of assaulting
Thomas Dim, the husband of one sad the father of ths
other prisoner, so as to endanger his life, were again brought
before Mr. Elliott for further examination.

Some further evidence having been given, the following
certificate was read :

"Lambeth Workhouse, Sept. 19, 1855.
"John Dice lies in a most precarious condition. The
abscess has penetrated the wells of the ehest, and commu-
nicates with the hang. I feel persuaded he will not recover.
" H. J. Buzz's, Medical Officer."
The priaonen were remanded for another weak.
THAMES.

Thomas Williams, a gunmaker, about thirty years of
age, and Ellin Ellis, a young woman, about twenty-two
years of age, were charged with stealing 61. in gold from
Henry Coleman, formerly a haminerman in the employ of
Messrs. C. J. Mare and Ca., iron ship-builders, of Blackwell.
The prosecutor stated that he went into the Fir Tree
, publio-house, in Church•lane, Whitechapel, on Tuesday,
sad saw the prisoners and two men, who were all strangers
to him, in front of the bar. He entered into con-
I variation with the prisoners, and began drinking with
them. Directly afterwards he found the hand of
Williams In his right-hand waistcoat pocket. He im-
mediately "gripped" the prisoner's arm and hand,
and tried to hold him tight, but he was rescued
by the woman and his companion.. Williams then put his
hand over to the woman, but whether she received any-
thing from Williams or not he could not say. He put his
hand in his pocket, and found all his money gone. He
went out, and was attacked by the prisoner. and their
friends, but ultimately the police arrived, and he gave the
prisoners into custody.
Oa croarezamination by Mr. Pelham, on behalf of the pri-
soners, the prosecutor said he was sot sober, and that pre-
vious to miming his money he dropped a sovereign on the
floor, and I were looking for it.
Mr. Yardley said the evidence was so slight against the
woman that he should discharge her. He committed Williams
for trial, but to k bail fur his appearance, himself in 801,
and two sureties of 401. each.

Mr. Yardley announced that he had received a Tost-office
order for 10s. from Anonymous, mid a cheque fur 31. from
P. H. T. for the relief of Mrs. Rose (not Rood) who was so
brutally assaulted by her husband on Friday night last, and
for which he was sentsnoed to six month.' imprisonment
and hard labour. Mrs. Rose is in a state of great suffering,
and the mosey will materially assist in alleviating the misery
of herself anti children.
