CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

POLIo

MANSION-HOUSE. ROBBERY AT THE LONDON
Tevaare—Edoord Noyes, bead cook at the London Tavern,
whose salary was stated to be 2001. a year, was charged with
robbing his employers. A police officer deposed to having
apprehended the prisoner, who had just left his house in a
cob with three other persons. In the cab were found various
articles of food and a number of kitchen utensil now pro-
duced, all of which Mr. Jamas Breach, one of the proprie-
tor, deposed to as the property of himself and partner. Mr.
Buchanan, for the ddenos, wiahed to know whether the
articles of food were not the understood perquisites of the
prisoner ? Mr. Breach said he had no right to take away
anything without permission. The prisoner was remanded
till Tuesday.
DESERTION or SEAM:N.—A number of seamen were
charged, under the new act for the registration of seamen,
with having deserted from the vessels in which they had en-
gaged to work to foreign parts and hack to this country.—
Mr. Coleman, clerk in the Registrar-General's office, stated
that as in many of the cases the captains of the vessels were
in attendance to give evidence, the full penalty of imprison-
ment inflicted by the act could be called into operation. In
the cuss in which the testimony of the captain was not at-
tainable, the mere refusal of the registered ticket, except
upon the payment of 10s. and cute, was the only punish-
ment to be adjudged. That refusal had the effect of pre-
venting the accused persons from entering into other en-
gagements. The temptation held out to British seamen
by the commanders of foreign vessels was so great
that no British vessel could calculate upon being
worked home from a foreign coast except the act
was carried into effect in the most penal manner.
Capt. Hugh M'Mikel, of the ship Ayrshire, stated that
Edwin Lester was one of his ship's company, and had signed
the necessary articles. He deserted the vessel at Baltimore,
had been subsequently apprehended and brought on board,
and again deserted. Mx others of the crew left the vessel at
the same time.—Lester said he had no complaint to make
against the captain, and he and the rest of the crew had
offered to do all that was required of them if the captain
would discharge the mate, who had used them badly.—The
Lord Mayor said he had his remedy if he were ill used, and
convicted him.—Capt. Brown, commander of the George
Wilkinson, said John Clarkson had left the vessel at Quebec
without his sanction, and that the example having been fol-
lowed by others of the crew, great inconvenience and expense
were incurred before the necessary °umbel of hands to na-
vigate her could be obtained. The additional expense to
which the vessel was subjected in consequence of the dmer-
tions amounted to 421.—The defendant said he could get no
money from the captain, although a considerable sum was
due to him—ln both these, and in other cases of a similar
nature, the full penalty of 30 days' imprisonment was inflicted.
THE MARINE SOCIETY AND THE OYSTER °WRENN.—
A number of persons interested in the oyster fisheries
attended, that day being appointed for the bearing of a case
in which, by en act for the first time put in force, penalties
were sought, upon the part of the Marine Society, against
the oyster owners of the port of London.—George Hoare,
master of the Henry and Elizabeth, was summoned, for that he,
being the master of the said vessel, which was used for carrying
fish for the supply of Billingsgate market, and having passed
the Nore with oysters far the said market, did not wilhin
three days after she passed the Nore pay to the person acting
or deputed clerk in the coast office the sum of two shillings,
whereby be became liable to forfeit a sum not exceeding ten
pounds.—Mr. Steel, for the owners of the oyster-bed, said
the question was one of much importance to his clients. He
argued that the oyster boats were completely exempted
from the operation of the new law, not only as being boats
for carrying eyaters, but as not being "come front the sea,"
which " passing the Note " meant ; these words compre-
hending " the whole of the Nore."—The Lord Mayor said
that he and his brother magistrate were of opinion that the
defendant had violated the law, and accordingly convicted
him—Mr. Young said the Marine Society woad be satis-
fied with a nominal penalty, which was fixed at 40a.—Mr.
Steel said it was the intention of his clients to bring the ease
before another tribunal.
GUILDHALL. Tan SANITARY MOVEMENT. The
Commissioners of Sewers summoned Mr. Hyam, of Cornhill,
the owner of 'event small tenements near Aldgste, for per-
mitting the tees-pools in those tenements to remain in a foul
state. It was stated that twe inspectors of pavements had
caught fevers in merely attending to inspect them. Two
medical certificates were put in, stating that the me-pool
were injurious to the health of the inhabitants.—An order
was made that they should be cleansed forthwith by the
owner, or in default at his expense by the Commissioners of
Sewers.
WORSHIP-STREET.—COMMOTION AT A THEATRICAL
SALOON.— William Rawlins was charged with having, on
Friday night, at the Britannia Saloon, Hoxton, raised an
alarm of fire.—A police-constable said that on Friday even-
ing
some one at the gallery entrance shouted " Fire." The
ay was followed by the shrieking of women, and the
greatest confusion amongst the audience. The defendant
was pointed out to him as the person who had raised the cry.
He did not at first deny it, but made great resistance to being
captured. The most terrible confusion'eras caused throughout
the house, many of the persons in the gallery dropping from
thence into the pit, while those in the pit rushed upon the
stage; several were severely injured. Hats and bonnets
were flying about in all directions, and a number still re-
mained there, the owners of which were not known.—
William Leman, the box-keeper, said at least 100 people
rushed from the pit to the stage; many were injured by
trampling over one another.—The prisoner denied that he
had raised the alarm—Margaret Collins said that the pri-
soner and some isompanionsyumped down the stairs, and the
officer would nut let them return, but told them they might
have their money and leave the li:suee. This they would not
do, and some of them shouted "Fire." She did not hear
the prisoner himself cry fire, but he was one of the party.—
Mr. Hammill remanded the prisoner until Monday.
George IVilliain Browning and Ifrilham Seal, who were
charged with having been the original disturber', were fined
Browning, 2s. 6d., and Seal 10s., or be imprisoned.
MARLBORO IIGH-STREET.—Romieur AT MESSRS.
DOUDNEY.B.-IVillians Eletab was charged with having
robbed Mesas. George Doudoey and Brothers, tailors, Bond-
street, his employers, of property valued at upwards of 1001.
—Mr. George Doudney said the prisoner had been employed
by the firm as cutter for about ten months previous to the
detection of his dishonesty. In consequence of information
he received he accused the prisoner of having robbed the
firm. The prisoner made no reply, but went with prosecutor
and a constable to his lodgings, where, on arriving at the
door, the prisoner showed bin a quantity of ready-made
c'othes and about 160 duplicates.—W. IL Clark, assistant to
Mr. Spink, pawnbroker, Gracee.hurch-street, produced six
pairs of trousers, and numerous other articles, which had
been pawned by the prisoner's wife.—Another pawnbroker
produced eleven pairs of trousers, two coats, and other arti-
cles, pledged by a female in 1846.—The prisoner was fully
committed.

CHARGE OF OBTAINING 2001. WORTH OP PLATE ERARDV-
LENTLY.—Thomas Horne, who formerly kept a boarding-
house in Albemarle-street, was charged with having ob-
tained a large quantity of plate from Messrs. Hunt and Has-
kell, silversmiths, of Old Bond-street.—ln February last the
prisoner came to Mesas. Hunt and Co.'s warehouse, and
state' that he had been requested by a gentleman named
Tyssen to obtain the loan of some dishes and other articles
of plate. A Mr. Tyssen was a customer, and was then
lodging at the prisoner's house. The aetieles, worth about
200/., were sent to Albemarle-street. Messrs. Hunt and Co.,
having ascertained that the person had become bankrupt,
and quitted the house in Albemarle-street, made inquiry of
Mr. 'Tyssen, and found that no authority had been given to
the prisoner to borrow the articles in question. The prisoner
was taken into custody in the Bankruptcy Court. Some of
the property was found in the hands of pawnbrokers.—The
prisoner said he had returned some of the property, and in-
tended to return the rest as soon as it was in his power.—He
was remanded.

OLD CODA:C.—Rotor° Mr. lintlos Erle.
CHARGE OP MANALAUGHTER.—Ann Muchmore, 20, Al
unmarried woman, was charged upon the coroner's inquisi-
tion with the matudaughter of her child, Allred Bleekmore.
From the evidence adduced it appeared that there wee not
the slightest ground for the charge. On the day named in
the indictment, the prisoner, who was intoxicated, was car-
rying her child along the street, when she put her foot into
a drain, which caused her to stumble and drop the child,
and she fell upon it, thereby causing injuries of which it
died. The witnesses mild that the prisoner bed always be-
haved kindly to the child, and it appeared that the same
aceidamt might have happened to any person who was par-
boil:, saber.—Mr. Justice Erle said the prisoner was charged
with *Molly throwing the child to the ground; but the evi-
dence not only disproved that charge, but also established
the fact that the occurrence was purely accidental. He
therefore directed the jury to acquit the prisoner. A verdict
of Not Guilty was accordingly returned.
THE Mvanenra Slieniv.—William Skeen, 49, was
charged with feloniously cutting and wounding Mary
Anne Sullivan, with intent to do her grievous bodily
harm.—This prisoner has obtained a dreadful notoriety,
from the !tircirootoince of his having, nearly 20 years

ago, murdered his own child by severing theiltesd 'Worn

ment, owing to a flaw in the indictment. fiance that period

punishment. In the present case he was charged with

give evidence against him. The fact, however, was
by a witness, named Jackson, who stated that her Ile Jew

THAMES.—DISGRACEFUL AFFAIR.—CHARGE OF MAN-
SLAUORTER.—Joseph Color, Joseph Johnson, and Daniel
Alger, labourers, were charged with aiding and abetting in
a fight which ok place between two boys named John
May Harris and Robert Auty, in Abbott's Fields, Poplar, on
Wednesday, and which resulted in the death of the lad
Harris. Another man, named Newsom, was brought before
the same magistrate on Thursday, charged with a similar
offence, and was liberated on bail until Wednesday next.
The bojs, who had had no previous quarrel, were scholars
of the National School in Poplar, and on Wednesday last
the boy Auty was met by some of the men in the employ of
Maws. Robinson, and they persuaded hint to pick out a boy
about his own age end size to fight with him. He selected
Harris, and the fellows who got up the fight promised to re.
ward the conqueror with some beer and halfpence when the
contest terminated. The boys fought in the field for about
half an hour, in the presence of many of the labourers in
Messrs. Robinson's employ, not one of whom attempted to
stop them, but urged the boys on. Auty, who is eight years
old, was declared the victor. The men gave Harris a quan-
tity of rum and beer, and made him drunk. He was taken
home by two schoolfellows. He vomited a good deal, and
appeared to be suffering greatly. The next morning ho ap-
peared to be dying, and a doctor was called, but he died in
half an hour afterwards. An inquest was commenced before
Mr. Baker on Friday, and reported in this paper of Sister.
day, when the coroner said that every one who was present
at the fight wee liable to be indicted, and directed that any
persons who could be identified should be apprehended, to
answer the verdict of the jury, if they brought it in murder
or manslaughter. The prisoners were remands.' on bail till
Wednesday.
BRUTAL OUTRAOS. —Mi. Henry Hinton wan charged
with violently assaulting Caroline Hannah Chuttaw. The
complainant stated that the defendant was a collector and
clerk in the employ of a mercantile firm, and was on intimate
terms with her father, who, he averted, owed him money;
for which he applied on Wednesday last. The com-
plainant said her father was one He celled her a

the direction of the Bank of England. This, ander
the actual circumstances of so many failures, and so
much discredit resting consequently upon the mer-
cantile capacities of this country in foreign parts, may
not unaccountably induce a suspicion of the Bank itself
being somehow involved in the embarrassments of a
member of its direction. Such an inference can of
coarse be entertained only in the more obscure and
ignorant quarters.
In a more active and speculative condition of the
stock market the deplorable event referred to would
doubtless have been turned to account by the leading
parties, whose opinions and operations are and have
been in the sense of a fall in prices. As it was,
prices remained unmoved, and the transactions of the
day were of an ordinary character. This may be
attributed partially to the absence of the chief
and more hardy speculators, who, as usual at this
season of the year, are recreating themselves elsewhere
after a prolonged session of much, and, to many of
them, profitable agitation in funded values. Dealings
have rarely been so few and unimportant on the
Stock Exchange as to-day. Even in Consols, as the
official list will show, the transactions were rare, and
prices scarcely disturbed. They were quoted in the
