guineas for the dog, and on t May he was called upon by
the prisoner, who informed hint that he knew the party
who had it, and that he was a French polisher, residing in
MMus:timid. lie was told that if he brought the dog he
might have the money directly, but he said he could not

Mr. Long (to Sergeant Hardwick, who took the prisoner
into cash, ly)—What do you know of the prisoner apart
firm what has been stated ?

Witness-1 have known him as a dogsstealer, your wor-
ship, for many years.
The prisoner was committed for trial.
Dora Pearson, a private in the Life Guards, was charged
with having committed a most violvr.t assault upon Mrs.
Emily Smith, the wile of a solicitor now abroad.
Complainant deposed that on the previous evening, ns she
was pasting along Albany-street, her mother and brother
being a little in advance of her, the defendant, without say-
ing a word, put his arms round her waist and pushed her
against some railings, at the same time using language of a
very shameful description; she screamed out, and upon her
brother coming to her assistance defendant struck him with
a cane. She (einardainant), with her mother and brother,
followed hint as far as the Colosseum, and when close to
that building defendant suddenly turned round and struck
her (complainant) with great force upon the breast, in addi-
tion
to which he kicked her with much violence. Her
brother and defendant had then a bit of a struggle together,
and he (the defindant) was at length given into the custody
of a police constable of the S division. Complainant added
that the glass of her gold watch was broken, and that a
vinaigrette, which was beneath the bosom of her dress, was
also shattered by the blows which she received.
Other evidence corroborative of the proceeding was gone
into, and it was shown clearly that the defendant was drunk.
The magistrate tined the defendant 31., but, at the inter-
cession of complainant, he reduced the penalty to 40s.
The money was paid.
LAMBETH.

.4rthor John Ansel!, the driver of a Ilansom cab, was
finally examined on a charge of manslaughter in having
caused the death of Mrs. Lilly Ann Bniisley, the wife of a
paperhanger, in Princess-road, Lambeth.
On Thurotay evening the prisoner, in driving two gen-
tlemen to Kennington-oval, where a crowd of persons had
been asiembled to ace the walking match, turned sharply
round the corner, and knocked down the deceased, who re-
ceived severe injuries by the wheel passing over her. She
was removed to St. Thomas's Hospital, where she died from
the effects of the injuries she had sustained.
Several witnesses were called, and though it was admitted
that he had driven a little sharp, yet that the unfortunate
circumstance and the death of the deceased were owing to
bored( in her flight rushing on the danger.
Mr. Norton remarked that cabmen generally were wens-
tanned to indulge in the exceedingly dangerous practice of
driving sharp round corners, from which innumerable acci-
dents occurred, and which led to the death of the unfortu-
nate deceased : and added that had the evidence against the
prisoner been a little stronger he should have felt it to be
his duty to have sent him for trial for the manslaughter.
The prisoner was then discharged.
Mr. Norton, having heard au excellent character of the
deceased and her husband, and being told also that she bee
left three children, requiring her motherly care, behind
her, he ordered 21. from the poor-bon to be given to the
husband.
