GUILDHALL.
COAMOI or Zwiesuousuater.—Yesterday_ Williams haac
Fitch, • traveller in the series of Messrs. Morgan, Martin,
sad Co., wholesale stationers, was charged with embiuliag
wakes sums of matey, to the amount of 2001. and upward".
Mr. Francs, of Godliman-street, solicitor, attended to pro-
siest*, and stated that he only intended to adduce such
welienee against the prieoner as would justify the alderman
la granting a remand. They had found out defalcations to
eke savant of zoot. , and there was little doubt that if time
were given, others to a still greater extent would be found.
It would mein that the prisoner's practice was, that having
kept soma moneys back, when he got other sums of money,
he then paid up the old amounts.
Evident* was Men
for
into to show that the prisoner
bad been in the habit, for some time put, of appropriating
to hie awn nee sums of money received by him on account
of the firm by which he was employed.
Mr. France said that if thecae* wu adjourned there would
be plenty of eases against the prisoner, for the firm had
ascertained that morning that be had received no lees • sum
than 1041. on the 4th of August, which be had not accounted
for. He therefore hoped the alderman would grant *remand.
Sir Peter Laurie said the embeuements appeared to be so
exteosive that he should remand the prisoner for a week,
when, perhaps, the prosecutors might make more important
discoveries.
The prisoner, who wept much while at the bar, declined
saying anything, and wee conveyed to the Compter.
SOUTHWARK-
ATTEMPTED ROBBERY IN vita SURREY COAL-ROLE.—
Lipman Levi, a dark-looking Jew, was charged with
attempting to steal a gold watch and chain from Mr. Cotton,
a brass founder in Union-street, Borough-road, while in the
Coal-hole public-house, next the Surrey theatre.
The prosecutor stated that about 2 o'clock on the previous
morning he went Into the Coal hole, and partook of several
glasses of brandy and water. While sitting there the pro
soner made several attempts to steal his watch, but finding
that he could not get it, he with his companions suddenly
left the room. Witness called the landlord and informed
him of what had occurred, when he found the house cleared,
and that the prisoner had gone. lie then went outside and
told the police, and • few minutes afterwards he caught the
prisoner in the rivet, nearly opposite the theatre, when he
gave him into Cu stedy.
A tradesman residing in the same neighbour-
hood said he was with the complainant, and saw
the prisoner put his hand round his friend's waist,
and attempt to rob him of hit watch. He warned
him off, but twice afterwards he put his hands in
Mr. Cotton's pocket. He told the prisoner and his compa-
nions that if tkey robbed hie friend, he should stick to
them.
In 'newer to the charge, the prisoner said be was a
friend of Mr. Simmons, the landlord of the house, and he
called to see him on the night in question. He saw the
complainant and his friend sitting in the Parlour drinking
brandy and water. They were quite drunk, and called for
the liquor five glasses at a time. He denied the charge,
and to show that he was innocent one of the prosecutor's
friends actually wanted him to let him go, as he could not
substantiate the charge. The policeman heard that.
Coombe, 91 L, said he heard • man say he wished the pro-
secutor to let him go, as he had lest nothing; and it would
be gnat trouble for him to attend at the police court. The
party never said he was inneceut.
Mr. Becker said it was a case he should eertalely send to
the sessions; but as other evidence was necessary he should
remand him for a week.
THAMES.

DARING lIVIOLART.—T. Cooper, a silk weaver, who re•
fused to give his address, and G. Jones, a labourer, residing
at Stoke Newington, were charged with burglariously enter-
ing the dwelling.house of Mr. Joseph Cohen, clothier, 49,
Prescott-street, Whitechapel.
In consequence of private information, police-constables
Kelly and Gifford proceeded on Monday night to the prose-
cutor's house, and having sent Wigley, 141 H, into the
house, stationed themselves in a doorway in Penton-street,
from which they could observe the place. A few minutes
before 11 o'clock the prisoners and two others presented
themselves at Mr. Cohen's door, which, after a
loud noise, flew open, when three of; the men en-
tered, whilst the fourth kept watch. Kelly and Gifford
knowing that all was right whilst Wigley, who is a powerful
and determined fellow, was inside, kept steady. Shortly after
some women, who pretended to be merely passing, gave
"the offs" to the man on the watch, on which he uttered a
low shrill peculiar sort of whistle, which brought the other
three out. Kelly and Gifford immediately started from their
hiding place, and the serjeant seized Jones by the collar.
'The prisoner Cooper rushed towards them, lifting a for-
midable life preserver, a blow frem which must have proved
fatal; but Gifford. who is a very active young fellow, pounced
upon him, seized hie arm, and wrested the weapon from his
grasp after a desperate struggle. Before Wigley could
some to the assistance of his brother officers, so brief
yet desperate was the rencontre, that the other two fellows
contrived to escape. On searching the place, it was found
that the premises had been entered by means of a skeleton
key. Jones, when *arched, had on him a box of silently-
igniting matches. Cooper had a skeleton key.' screw-driver,
and a knife. Wigley found a earpet-bag belonging to Mr.
Cohen near the door, which was no doubt intended as a
vehicle for the more valuable part of the booty which they
expected to obtain when disturbed by the signal of their
confederate.
&leant Kelly requested to have the cue remanded for a
weak, as several ether burglaries had been committed in the
.111310 vicinity, which he thought he might be able to tr-ce
to the prisoners.
Mr. Yardley said that u regarded the present charge, it was
clearly established, but he had no objection to allow the
officers time to inquire into the others.
The prisoners were accordingly remanded.
WOOLWICH.
ATTEXPTED Muanna.— William Hornsey was brought
up en a remanded charge of attempting to kill his wife,
Martha Horneey, by cutting her throat with a razor, and
also with attempting to commit suicide.
Martha Homey, the wife of the prisoner. whe was ac-
commodated with a chair, and gave her evidence very re-
luctantly, deposed that she had been married to the prisoner
upwards of six years. On Sunday eveniog, the sth inst.,
she went out for a walk with him. She recollected striking
him several times, and refusing to go home with him, as
they had been drinking all day. The prisoner struck her
on her refusal to accompany him home, and she then gen-
'anted to go home with him, but afterwards refused to
go. There was a scuffle between them, and she did not
know that her throat was cut till she rebserved blood on her
dress. The witness, who endeavoured to shield the prisoner,
stated that she could not tell whether the prisoner cut her
throat, or whether she cut it herself, or whether she fell down
on the knife. She had no knife in her own hand, and fended
she saw one in the prisoner's hand.
Evidence was given in corroboration of the wife's state-
ment, and Mr. Train committed the prisoner for trial.
