BUMS TIM RECOIRDIM
FELONIOUS Assart.T.
Henry Ronsillort, a well d d man, who described
himself as a surgeon, but whine name is nut discoverab:e in
the " Medical Directory," surrendered to take his trial tor
an assault upon Elizabeth Brown.
This ease it will be recollected was postponed from the
last union. Upon that occasion an indictment for felony
was preferred against the defendant upon the same facts,
but it was ignored by the grand jury, who only returned a
true bill for a common assault. The defendant, who is an
advertising doctor, under the title of Surgeon Hamilton,
practised in King William-street, Strand, and the
prosiecutriz, a young 1,1011140 twenty-two years of age,
went to consult him ; and, accarding to her evidence, ho
told her she was in the family way, and then
made some overtures to her of a most disgusting
character, and eventually proceeded to commit acts of gross
indecency. The greater portion of the evidence was of a
character to render it totally with for publication. The
prosecutrix and • young Mall who, she stated, was the
father of her child, and whom it uppeared she had mirritd
since the occurrence, were subjected to a very severe cross-
examination, and they admitted they had both given flips
names and addresses, and that they ad made other incor-
rect statements in reference to the transaction.

Mr. Ballantine made an earnest addrms to the jury on
behalf of the defendant, and said be was instructed by him
to declare most emphatically that there was not the shghtest
ground for the charge, and that it had been trumped up
by the presecutrix and the man for the purpose of ea-
tortiou,_ _ .

---The Itecorder having summed up, the jury, after a short
deliberation, returned a verdict of Gaiity.
Sentence was deferred.
COAROI. OP PERJURY.

Thomas Massey surrendered to take hia trial for wilful
and corrupt perjury.
This was one of thole caseewbere an indictment was pre-
ferred before the grand jury behind the back of the accused
party, and without any previous inquiry being had before a
magistrate. When tke trial was called on, the person who
appeared as prosecutor handed in an affidavit, and asked to
have the trial postponed.
Mr. Parry, on behalf of the defendant, successfully re-
sisted the application.
It appeared that the perjury was alleged to have been
committed at the Guildhall police court, in the course of
/01110 proceedings taken under the Small Tenements Act
by Mr. Massey, to eject the prosecutor, and Mr. T. Wood,
the chief clerk, was called to prove what took place, when,
to the astonishment of the court, he stated that he did not
believe the defendant was sworn, or that anything sail by
him was upon oath.
The Recorder asked Mr. Wood if be stated this fact
when he was examined in supper; of the bill before the
grand jury ?
Mr. Wood said he stated to them moot distinctly, his be-
lief that the defendant was not sworn.

BIGAMY.
John Davey, 63, shoemaker, was indicted for bigamy
with Sarah Hawthorne, his wife being then alive.
It appeared that prisoner had been groom to a nobleman,
and in 1823 was married at Great Maldon, in Northampton-
shire, deserted his wife during her first pregnancy, came to
London, and in 1836 married the second wife, who was •
widow.
In emu-examination it was elicited that his first wife had
sines married, and had eleven children.
The second wife said the prisoner had six children by her,
and after much ill-treatment had left her for another
woman. She knew him four years before their marriage.
Prisoner—And did not I live with you two years before
Second wife—That's of no signification. (Laughter.)
He was found Guilty, and sentenced to four months im-
prisonment

MIDDLEBEtIC SESSIONS.-YESTERDAT.
The October adjourned Quarter Session was commenced
this morning at Clerkenwell, before Mr. Serjeant Adams,
Assistant Judge, Mr. Witham, and other magistrates. The
number of prisoners for trial was 68, the whole of whom,
with but two exceptions, were charged with felony.
The Assistant Judge shortly withered the grand jury.

- -
PRILSONATION AND BOADARY.
John William Mayhew, 47, pleaded guilty to having
stolen five pounds of lead, the property of Richard Wells,
the same being fixed to a building, and also to font charges
of obtaining money by false pretences.
Mr. Ruddbatons said he wished to say a few words to
the court with reference to this case, which was a prosecu-
tion instituted by the Commissioners of Sewers, for whom
he appeared. He thought it right to mention that in 1850
the prisoner was convicted at this court of three similar
offences, for which he received sentences of six
months, three months, and six weeks bard labour
respectively, and as soon u he came out of
prison he was at his old practices again. He went
to a number of poor persons, and represented himself as
an inspector or officer appointed under the Commissioners
of Sewers, and by pretending that their sewers and drains
were in a bad condition and required attention, or that he
could get their sewers rate reduced, obtained from them
small sums of money for the services he led them to believe
he could render in his capacity of a sewers' officer. He
had thus imposed on a great number of persons, and the
eoramissitmen were most anxious that it should flo forth to
the public that no person was authorised to receive money
on their account but the inspectors, and then only on the
production of regular printed forms. They also wished it
to be known that no person had power to reduce the rotes,
that could only be done on appeal.
Tie Assistant-Judge, having perused the depositions,
sentenced the prisoner to one month's imprisonment for the
felony, and to four years' penal servitude for the frauds.

MAN KILLED AT NINE ELMS.—Yesterday morn -
ing, Mr. Bedford, the coroner, received information of the
death of George Penfold, aged 30 years, who expired at
Westminster Hospital from the effects of injuries received
on the South Western Railway. 0120 of the porters going
down the line, near Nine Elms, discovered him lying acme
the rails, mutilated in a frightful manner. He was taken
to the hospital, where he expired shortly after his admission.
How the deceased got on the line is at present unknown.
A TRAIT or ABERNETHY.-000 of the brightest
points in Abernsthy's character was, that, however he might
sometimes forget the courtesy due to his private palings,
he was never unkind to those whom charity had confided
to his care. One morning, leaving hems for the hospital,
when some cue was desirous of detaining him, he said:
Private patients, U they do not like me, can go elsewhere ;
but the devils in the hospital I am bona to take cue
of."— • •'8 Memoirs ref Aberreelly.
