Bosom Ms. lemma Teeniest,
Tree Gine Leisve.
John Price, 25, was indicted for feloniously cutting and
wounding JceephCroxball, with intent to prevent his lawful
apprehension.
Is other counts of the indictment the intent of the prisoner
was laid to do grievous bodily ham.
Mr. Platt promoted, and Mr. Cilantro& was for the de
fence.
It appeared that the prosecutor in this eves was game•
keeper to a Mr. Day, who had hired the virgin f shooting
a farm eaVel Warren Farm, in tho naglibourhood ul
•~ipteaageton. About halfwit 6 o'clock is the evening of
the Pith of December be was out is the neighbouthood
d the farm when he heard the report of a gun in the
direction of • place called the Pita pad Pre mien, and h.
sailed for a man named West, who was employed upon
the fern, and they both proceeded towards the spot where
the shot appeared to have been fired, and upon their going
into a meadow does to the preserve in question, they saw
three sea. It appeared that West ran off on seeing they
were outuumbored by their opponent', but the pro ecutor
went up to the men and was a'sout to warn them off, when,
according to' is testimony, the prisoner, who wee one of the
party, struck him a violent blow os the side of the bead with
• bludgeon, which felled him to the ground, and the three
min then ran away. At thin moment another keeper,
named Brockwell, who is in the service of his Royal liffb-
as. the Doke of Cambridge, came op to Croxliall's most-
mos,: and when the latter bad recovered himself they
proceeded la pursuit of the men, and it appeared
that they saw them at a distance, and ono of
the men dm ;sped behind his companions, and was
Lost sight of. The keeper" went on in pursuit for some
'limners in a direction towards Wimbledon, but hod-
og they could ant Vane op to the two men who had gone
on, they returned, and when they had gods a short distance
they met the prisoner, and took him' tato custody after a
straggle, dating which tho:prisoser received a blow on the
bead from the prosecutor's stick. The prisoner, upon being
teed what be was charge 4 with, declared that he was not
the man who lad struck the prosecutor, and that he was
accidentally at the place on his way to Wimbledon at the
time he was taken into custody. • 10e prosecutor, however,
stated that be had known the prisoner for two yeses, and he
was quite polities he was the person who assaulted him ia
the way described.
Mr. Charnak, at the close of the case for the prosecution,
submitted that there was no evidence to go to the jury upon
the lirat count, charging the prisoner's intent to cue to Fre-
mot hie lawful apprehension.
Mr. Justice Pattern' said he thought there wag not, as
the act of parliament aid not give authority to any one to
arrest; a poacher except the owner or the occupier of the
had, or a person having the right of Imo warren on the
account of such persons, and the servant of an individual
who merely hired the right of shooting did not poem that
privilege. The arrest of the prisoner therefore would not
have been lawful, and c,nte goody the first count could nut
be supported.
Mr. Charnock then addressed the jury for the defence and
after ohs. rring that this was one of those ratlancholy cages
which so constantly occupied the attention of courts of juo-
ticeprising;frorn the operation of the Lemke the preservation of
game, he proceeded to contend, first, that the identity of the
prisoner had not been eufliciently established ; and, secondly,
that if the jury Mould be of opinion that he was the man
who smack thegamelemper,tiot the offence at most amounted
to an emelt.
Mr. Justine Patteson, in summing up, said that this case
undoubtedly mom eat of the laws which were in existence
for the preservation of game. It was not his intention or
province to enter into any cooeirlention of the policy or im•
policy of these enactments, but he certainly could not
help remarking that cases of violence of this description
were generally the result of persons going out to
steal game at night, which undoubtedly they had
no right to do. The learned judge then explained to the
jury that, hr the reason he bad before given, the prisoner
could not be legally convicted upon the lint count of the
indivment, and be left it to those to say whether b:e iden-
tity had been established, and whether they coreidered
either of the other counts had been made out, or whether he
bad only committed an "moult.
The jury, after deliberating a short time in the box,
Impressed a wish to retire. They were absent for half en
hour, and they then found the prisoner Guilty of a common

FRAUD ON A. Dock Cournun,
Joliet Henry Gold, • labourer, in the London Dock.. was
indicted for obtaining by false pre:coots, from Jelin Bills,
2s. 44., and other monies, with intent to defraud the London
Dock Company.
Mr. Haddkatone appeared for the prosecution ; and, in
elude( the teas, mid that this prosecution was initi-
alled by the London Dock Company ; and, as they ens-
I great number of Or! person' it Detente a dal on their
nee every precaution aesiost tread. The learned
an then detailed the fans as they appear in the
Millintir evidence:
John Ellis stated that he was deputy-warehause-keeper at
the London D ids. The prisoner was an extra labourer. A
greet number of men were employed in that capacity ; sad
it was the custom when the days work wan ended to call
over the names three at a time, one of whom received the
mosey and then divided it equally. On this occasion the
prisoner's name was called in connexion with two others,
named Fcgg and Flatten, and the money was paid, the
defendant receiving his share, 2r. 4d that being the day's
wages ; afterwards three other names were called, eta.,
Beams, Bpinka, and Cooper, and the prisoner was observed'
to go up to the paymaster and rec.ive 70., the amount or
wages due to these three met. On his return be Landed to
Spinks and Nonage their share, 2s. 4d. each, but the third
share he kept to himself.
The prisoner in defence said that be knew nothing st all
about the money, and that the witness had made a mistake
in his i :entity.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and he was sentenced
to three months' hard labour.
A WierCet IMPOSID.
William Sharp, a respectable looking old man, seinen
dered is discharge of his ncogoisanoes, to answer an indict-
ment charging him with having indecently assaulad
person named Henry Wheyman. Mr. Parry appeared for
the defendant.
The prosecutor, a young man about six and twenty years
of age, said that the assault took place in Hyde Park, nest
the Albert Gate, bat the manner in which be gave his
evidence was so very nits stitfutory, that the leveed judge
said that it was anon:teeny to proceed any farther with the
este, as tt we. quite clear that no jury could convict or the
evidence of rues a witness.
Mr. Parry said he felt bound to pat some (tontines in nom-
examination, in order to ensile:a the court and jury that the
prosecutor was a person of the most abandoned bsbite. In
justice to his diet.% who was a most respectable man, and
a householder in the parish of Marylebooe for a period of
twenty yeses, he wished to clear the matter up. The learoed
courted then proceeded to put a series of questions to the
prosecutor, and in reply to these he admitted having made
similar charges against other persons, aid that he had been
convicted of felony.
Wright, a constable of the B division, was called by Mr.
Parry to state what be knew of the prosecutor. He said that
he knew him to be a frequenter of the puke, and that he
had been convicted cf felony at the Old Bailey.
The learned Judge told Wright not to lose eight of the
filthy wretch, for he had no doubt from his dress and
mode-up appearance that he prowled about the parka,
watching to entrap victims to his foul charges, for the pur-
pose of extorting money, for there were few men who would
not rather sacral°e any amount of money than allow such
imputations to be published to the world. Then turning to
the jury, be said that he had no doubt but they had formed
their own opinion of the dissenting fellow in the witness-
lax. They had only to look at his attitude, dress, and the
effeminanstyle in which he bad his hair dressed up. Turn-
ing to the prosecutor, he said, "Go along, you dirty, filthy,
beast; leave the wart."
The prosecutor then made his escape from the court, amid
a yell of execration.
The defendant was at ones discharged.

that he a'nt my driver now. (Laughter.)
The Lord Mayor—ls he a sober nun ?
Witness—Yee, he's sober enough. I never seed him
drunk.
The Lord Mayor—How long has he been with you?
Witness—Three days. (Laughter.)
The Lord Mayor—Don't you get drunk yourself now and
then ?
Witness—No, my lord, not Mean to my knowledge.

(Great laughter.)
The Lord Mayor—Then I suppose you discharged this de-
fendant for taking too much ?
Witness—Oh dear, no, my lord. I discharged him for
bringing home to little. 1 believe he's sober enough, but
he don't drive no more for me. That's all.
The defendant said he had been driving a ample about for
some time and they gave him a glans en two too much, and
as he never would drive when he had too much, he
supposed he left the cab in their care while he went to sleep
it oil.
The Lord Mayor—lf you had been here before, I would
now send you to prison without giving you the alternative of
paying a fine, but as you have not, and as you vs
punishiA with lose of your place, I shall be satisfied with •
penalty of de. His lordship then save a hint to the moats
to take can how be followed, the example of his man.
An ARTFUL MENDICANT.—A young fellow in a MOM
rasped condition was brought up. He was recognised by
the crowd in the jastice room as a steady customer in tie
streets iu the cold weather, and has a peculiar way of

attracting commiseration.
A policeman saw the defendant crouched up in a corner,
where he was 'sure to catch the lineation of pareengers,
end desired him to move away, but the request was not
attended to, for the station was a profitable one, and the
silent beggar knew that if anybody attempted to pull him
by the clothes the wearer would in an instant be u naked
as he was when he was born. It. lying upon this mode of
securing impunity, he generally disregarded the appeals of
the police. One of the force, however, who had been tome
time practitiog with unruly beggars, contrived to earry him
and all his rags before the Lord Mayor.
The Lord Mayor—Defendant, how long have you bten at
this sort of wcrk ?
The Policemen—lie won't answer a word, my lord. I'll
do him the justioe to say that I never heard him uk any
for the value of a farthing.
The Lord Mayor—No, be trusts to the auperior eloquence
of his drew. (Laughter.) I dare say, the colder the
weather ie, the mote ragged he becomes ?
The D .liceman—Beastly so, my Lord. It is in the bitter
frost he appears in fall character. He has then scarcely a
tatter upon him. (Laughter.)
The Lord Mayor—Well, I shall take him out of the
misery he delights in for some time however. He shall
have pis weeks' hard labour in Bridewell.

The defendant cut sleek upon ths Lord Mayor, which
would no doubt hare had a powerful effect upon an ordinary
observer of distress, but his lordship was impenetrable, and
the silent mendicant was committed to prison.
13suat OLlNOll.—The Lord Mayor requested that the press
would acknowledge the receipt of 11 (the second subscrip-
tion) from W. Hooper lialse, for the:poor box.
