dent was %intuit affecting from the simple unques-
tioning faith, and siugle.minded earnestness evinced,
for while the respect which ov..ryone but Lord In-
retro pays to the dead prevented even these pour
ignorant fellows expressing the indignation they
evidently felt, the notion of taking further interest
in au enemy of the church was obviously abhorrent,
and the inclination to know more was resisted from
a sense of duty.
Very different was the demeanour of another
group of busy talkers. These men canvassed the
possible successors to the Premiership, or " who'd
are his place," with an interest and familiarity
with the subject which went far to prove the rapid
spread of political knowledge ; while their specula-
tions, coming as they did through the din and tur-
moil of the market, struck the byestander
an singular and incongruous. These were the most
striking exceptions to the busy crowd of buyers,
the great bulk of whom were dwellers in the ad-
jacent courts and streets, and who, either through
being neighbours, or from meeting periodically on
the common ground of the Sunday market, have a
nodding and chatting aNuaintanceship with each
other, rather resembling the familiar intercourse of
country towns than the isolation and independence
of metropolitan life. A common hand-to-mouth
struggle for existence is perhaps another bond be.
tweeu them, and, despite the chaffering and noisy
talk, the =anionsl outbreaks, and the exceptional
drunkenness, there is more kindliness, couaidera-
tion, and friendship manifest among the eager
pushing thousands at both places visited than are
oowmonly looked for in the market-place, whether
of rich or poor.

to live in a private house which sho let out in lodgings,
contemplating the purchase of a public house in the same
locality. On the evening of the 21st of July the
prosecutrix and a lodger, Mn. White, went or to make
some purchases, and during their arsine the pri-
poser presented himself at her residence, where
be found the prorcutrix's sister alone, and forced himself
into the house, insisting that he bad a right to be there,
threatening to set his largo Newfoundland deg upon her if
she resisted his admission. He took a light from the
kitchen and crept up stain oe his hands and knees. In a
few minutes he came down stain, and it was not until
11 o'clock the next morning that the property, consisting
of two Bank of England notes, for 501. each, which bad
been er
nfe the previous evening is a purse on the dressinp
bible i the Pry bedroom, sou
mired. On the pri-
soner combs' down stain the prosecutrix and her lodger,
Mrs. White, had arrived home, aocompanied by Mr. Stevens,
the public-house broker, with whom she was in treaty for
a public-house. She desired the prisoner to leave the house,
but be refused, but said if she would take a glass of wino
with him he would go away. The prisoner sent for a bottle
of wine, of which they all partook. After this the prisoner
again kook up a candle and went up stairs. M2l. White
followed, to ascertain where he had gone, and found him on
the first-floor landing, near the bedroom, when the property
bad been left site. He shortly after left the house, and
the property was missed the next day. Information wee
given to the pollee, by whom he was taken into custody in
lodgings be bad taken for himself and his wife in the
Leipsic-road, O•mberwelL When apprehended 201. in
gold was found upon him, besides • large quantity of new
wearies apparel, a gold watch and other jewellery. His
capture waseffected on the2Bth July, and it appeared from
his own admission that he went to Paris on the 21rd, two
days after the robbery, and on the 27th the two 501. notes
stolen were remitted from a bullion merchant in Perim to
the Bank of London and paid into the Bank of England the
same day. It wss also shown that prior to the robbery the
prisoner was so deficient of cosh that he was compelled to
pawn a brooch for a few shillings.
Mr. F. Tamer made an energetic appeal to the jury on
behalf of the 'winner admitting that though there might
be suspicion the charge had not been satisfactorily made
out.
The Recorder summed up the evidence, and the jury after
a short consultation returned a verdict of Guilty.
The prisoner when called up for judgment implored tho
court, for the sake of his wife and child, to postpone the sen-
tence until the next session, when be should be able to
prove how he became poisoned of the money and property
found on him when he was takers into custody.
The Recorder @entered the prisoner to be kept to hard
labour in the House of Correction for 18 calendar mouths,
'4 directed the money and property to be given up tot e

MARYLRBONIt.
George Lynch, aged 18, a rough, dirty looting fellow, was
charged with the following disgraceful conduct.
Richard Salt, police-constable 150 I), deposed that
shortly after 8 the previous eight, as the cougregatioe were
leaving St. Mary's Church, thswfurd•strest, he saw the
prisoner, wbo appeared to be ringleader of a gang of tombs,
pelt at the umbrellas of the ladies and gentlemsa,
miwilos they used being dirty cabbage stumps end biomes
which they picked from the muddy roads, as well as other
equally filthy sutetances. The ladies were holding up their
drosses, and the prisoner and his sompanioris mods most
dieguiting observations to them. when they sew him
(witness) they ran off, but he pursued and captured the
prisoner.
Prisoner (in a whining tone) said he did not do it.
Mr. Mansfield said the public must be protected from each
outrages as these, and fined the primmer 405., with the
alternative of one month's herd labour.

_
prosecintriz.
Thomas Jones, 27, bootmaker, and John Gabriel Holmes,
12, labourer, pleaded guilty to as indictment chargiag them
with stealing a puree and lls. 100., the property and
moneys of Mary Hill, from her person, in the City of
London.
This was an ordinary case of street robbery, but with-
out violence.
Agar, the chief warrior of Holloway Prison, proved
several previous convictions for felony against the prisoner
Jones. The younger prisoner was not known to the polio°
or Hie prison officiate.
The mother of Holmes presented benelf, and informed
the court that until lately her we bad been • well-
conducted boy, but that he had left home without a cause
about three weeks ago, and she bad not seen him until he
was in custody.
The Recorder sentenced the lad Holmes to three months'
imprisonment with hard labour, With respect to the pri-
soner Jones, he was not only au old offender, but a traiser
of young boys to the trade of picking pockets. The sen-
tence upon him was that he be kept in penal servitude for
the term of five years.
James Holden surrendered to take his trial for. e-
handing the South Western Railway Company of m
of one shilling.
Mr. F. H. Lewis and Mr. Moir conducted the prose-
cution; Mr. Warner Sleigh appeared for the defendant.
It appeared that the defendant was a carman in the
service of the company, and that he was sent out with a
van to convey goods from the railway to the different
docks. On the Gth of September he was so employed, and
when he came home to the Nine Elms station he handed
two turnpike tickets to the cashier, and asked fer two and
threepence, which be said was the amount be had paid for
tell. According to the case for the company, one of those
tickets, upon which the sum of one shilling was represented
to have been paid, was not issued at all on the 6th of Se,-
umber. but was a ticket that bad been issued on the
20th of April, and thee not for a van, but for a chaise, and
the dates were represented to have been altered, bat in so
bungling a manner that the fraud seemed to have been at
once detected.
The jury retuned a verdict of Guilty.
It was stated that the prisoner had been eighteen months
in the service of the company, and he had a wife and child
dependent upon him.
He was sentenced to three months' imprisonment and
hard labour.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.)

to an indictment charging him with stealing • watch, the
property of Charles Breckenridge, from his person.
It was proved by Agar, principal warder of the City Prism,
Holloway, that the prisoner had been therein incarcerated
for various terms for fame ; and Mr. King, the school-
master at Coldbath-fields Prison, proved against him 19
former convictions, ranging from 1854 to 1862.
Mr. Commissioner Kerr remarked that it would be a
waste of trords to offer either caution or advice to the pri-
soner, who appoired to be incorrigible, nearly thirty con-
victions having been proved egainst him. The sent nee of
the apart was that be be kept iv penal servitude for the
term of ten years.
Thomas Woodhouse, a well-dressed young man, was con-
victed of obtaining a portmanteau and its cootents, the pro-
perty of William Farr, by means of a forged request.
There were seven other indictments of the same character.
The mode of proceeding was to send a mmeoger to
different westend hotels with a forged request for the
luggage of gentlemen who bad been stay lag there.
Mr. Commissioner Kerr sentenced him to ten years' penal
servitude.

LAMBETH.
Joseph Roberts, was broutht up on remand, and filially
examined before Mr. Elliott, on a charge of breaking into
the dwelling-house of Mr. Besjande Nunes, in Atterthy-
roid, Upper Norwood, and attempting to steal a basket
containing plate of the value of 4W. _
The primmer, it will be reoollected. Is the permit who
was secured by the courageous conduct of Mary Ana Batton,
one of the servants of the prosecutor. Hs was fully coon-
milted for trial.
Matthew Baldwin, 17 • member of, and deemed in the
uniform of the 28th Middlesex, or London Irish Vothoteers,
wee charged with stabbing a young man named John Resell
with his bayonet.
James Thompson deposed Nig on Sunday morning, at
Wiliest 12, he was standing at the end of Bath-street,
Albeny-road, Camberwell, with some others, when the
prisoner and three other volunteers came up and offered to
fight any of the party, and the prisoner struck one of them
with his rifle on the head. The prisoner also showed him
(witness) • baymet which he bad in hie baud, and mid,
"I'll put this into you if you don't be off." He them made
• etab at him. and the point of the instrument went through
the arm of his coat, but did not reach his skin. At this
time &young man named Hamill came up, and asked what
was the matter. Witness called to him to come sway, but
the prisoner rushed on and stabbed him with his bayonet
in the lower part of his back, end he (Hand) instantly fell.
The prisoner with his companions then ran away, but they
were followed, and he was taken into custody by • police-
man.
Police-constable 217 P said that on Sunday monde; he
was on duty in St George'oreed, Camberwell, and seeing
• number of people running, he went to see what was the
matter. He met the young man Buell, who told hem
he had been stabbed by a rifleman. He followed the pri-
soner in the direction that he had run, and found him in
a garden. He told him a man had charged him with stab-
Inns him, when the prisoner replied, • I was assaulted
first by him and his frieods, who also threw stones at us,
and what I did was in self-defence." The prisoner was at
the time dressed in his volunteer uniform. After looking
him op, he (tritium) satiated in taking the young man
Handl to St. Thomas's Hospital, where be called that
morning, and received the following certificate :—"These
are to certify that John Rua is an it-patient of this
hospital, end unable to attend the court —Wu. K.
Tonaertmlloneosurgeon, Oct. 23, 1865."
The prisoner in his defence said the facts of the eerie
were very different from what the witness Thompson had
reprounted them to be. On Saturday night himself, his two
brothers, and • friend, Mr. Bunn, all members of the
London Irish, were returning from drill at Burlington-
house to their residence is St. Georges-read, Peckha umber
on reaching the end of Bath-strut they passed •
of persons close to • public-house. The moment these
persons caught sight of them they commenced jeering and
insulting them, calling out, " Who shot the dog?" They
also calleoged them to fight, and one of them, on his
brother's refusing to take off his uniform to fight, gave him
a blow on the month, and was about to repeat the blow
when he (prisoner) pushed him sway with the butt end of
his rifle. The parties then commenced pelting them with
stones, so that they were obliged to fly for their twee.
What was done he could not account for, but it was done
ih self-defence. He then called his two brothers, who, like
himself, arc compositors, and one of whom received a serious
wound, from • stone, on the head, and they corroborated
his statement as to the attack made on them.
The prisoner wan ultimately remanded.
HAMMERSMITH.
Williams Scannell, who was dressed as • railway porter,
was placed in the dock before Mr. Ingham, charged with
indecently assaulting Ann Sages, • servant.
The complainant, • respeotablolooking young woman,
said she lived at 32, King-street, Hammersmith. On Sa-
turday night at 20 minutes to 10 o'clock she started by a
train from Farriegdoottreet station in a third-class car-
riage on the Metropolitan Railway, and while the train
was in the tunnel the prisoner came to the door on the
opposite side to that by which the passengers en-
tered, unlocked it with a key, came in, and sat by
her aide, sad Wired her, she being alone with him
in the carriage- She was very much frightened.
Before the train arrived at King's-cross station he left the
carnage. Between the latter station and Gower-street he
entered the carriage again, sat down opposite to her, and
put his hands up her clothes. She straggled very herd and
bit his face, or eh* did not know what the consequence
would have been. He did not say anything. She did not
scream out, as she was too much upset. He tore her clothes.
He remained in the carriage until getting very neer the
next station. At Gower-strut station • d
say runken man
mitered the carriage. and she did not aoythisg
to him. Between Notting-hill aid Shepherd's-bush stations,
she then being alone, as the drunken man got out et Edg.
ware-road, the prisoner got into the ouriage again, begged
her pardon, and asked her not to say anything about what
had happeued. On arriving at the Hammersmith station
she was afraid to complida but on going home she informed
bar sister that she had been insulted. They retunsed to
the station and waited until the prisoner arrived with
another train, and she then gave him in charge. Witness
never sew him before.
By Mr. Martin, for the prisoner—The carriage was next
to the luggage or break van. She was afraid to make a
complaint at King's cress station, as the was too much
upset. She went to Farriagdou-street station with her
sister, wbo assisted her with her box. She did not shake
hauls with one of the porters. One porter chucked her
under the chin let she did not speak to him. Site told
him to mild his own business.
The witness wee also questioned closely as to the pri-
soner's identification. She said that after having a good
look at him when at the Hammersmith station she was
sati.fied that he was the man.
Elizabeth Ann Webster, the young woman's sister who
accompanied bey to the station in Farringdoo-street, said
that she did at see any porter laugh at the °implement,
or chuck her under the chi°.
Susannah Barn, another sister of the complainant, was
eternised, and she said that on the return home of her sis-
ter she immediately told ber what bad happened to her in
the carriege. Witness, with her husband and the com-
plainant, then went to the gallop, and waited for the
prisoner.
A police-constable of the T division said be first received
information of the assaelt at 20 minutes teat 10 o'clock.
When the complement first saw the prisoner she maid be
was not the man, hut on looking at him • second time she
identified him as the man who bed insulted her.
For the dehisce Mr. Martin willed
Alfred Boots, a porter at Farringdon-street station, who
stated that he helped the complimant with her box into the
break van of the 40 minutes past 9 o'clock train. He also
let her into • compartment, and after the door was shut a
chat took place between them and two other porters, the
prisoner being one. She made herself forward in talking to
them.
Mr. Ingham thought the witness meant to say that the
three porters made themselves forward in talking to her,
seeing that she was in the compartment and they on the
platform.
The wither said she salted him whether he was going to
Hammersmith, and he said, " No."
The eoteplainent bare denied having asked the question.
The witness also said that she shook hands with him, sod
remarked that they were • wild lot of young men. The
prisoner was acting as tensing breeksmeu to the train, and
he told him that there was • box for Hammersmith. The
complainant rode in the omit compartment. The guard,
whose place was at the end of the train. was not with them.
William Gee, the engioodriver of the train, said that he
saw the female shaking hands and making free with the
porters et Farringdon-street station. The break van was
next to the engine, end the breaks were applied on entering
Gower-street station. The tads was about three misutee
/clog from King's cross to Gower-street, sod if the prisoner
insulted the female he must have been very quick about it.
He also stated that it was the practice to lock the off side
doom.
Mr. foghorn believed that some person did enter the ow-
rime, and the question was. wbo did. He thought the wit-
tier's for the defence strongly cemfirmed the complaisant',
statement as to the man, sad he (Mr. leghem) badge deal*
about the matter. It wee quite char the ootuplainaut wee
a respectable young wanes, and that she did not give him
enoutragerneet to go the length he did. He fined the pet-
sonar 31. with the elternstive of one month's isprieosntent
with hard labour.
The prisms: was than removed.
