has penmen, • highly reepectable man, an auctioneer and
Mrtsiwho had Mx other children, the prosecutor and
ronitiable found two or three small ambles which had
also been stolen, and the prisoners Adolphus and William
had disposed of others. While thin was going on the pri-
einnell' father was lying dangeronaly ill at Manchester, his
wile being in attendance upon him, and the first intimation
they had of It was seeing an account of the examination of
the younger prisoner before the magistrate in the papers.
The father at once mitt the mother to London, and she had
the painful duty of telegraphing to inform bins that the
other two were in custody.
Mr. Metcalfe made a very able defame. and
argued that the prisoners William and Caroline had
been deceived by Adolphus, who represented to them that
all the things be brought he had taken as wages, that they
received them certainly, but without the slightest knowledge
of their having teen stolen.
The jury found them Guilty.
The Aminant-Judge stud it was • melancholy case, and
his duty was • painful one. The best course he could take
with respect to the younger prisoner would be to sentence
him to three years' detention at Beldam Reformatory, which
he did, and upon the tubes, who undoubtedly had received
these things, knowing how their brother had come by them,
he should pass • sentence of 12 ametbs' herd tahour each.

The prosecution was combatted by Mr. Cooper ; the pri-

It appeared that the prosecutor was on duty In Orchard-
street, Bt. Luke's, when he found the defendant in a state of
drunkenness, quarrelltng and fighting with another man
who passed as his brother. He interfered to separate
thaw, when he was assaulted by the prisoner, who kicked
him in • manner likely to disable him for life, mad he heel to
be placed under the cue of Mr. J. B. Mather, of !Imbib-
ition, the divisional surgeon, who thought the kick likely to
remit in • mews.
Pee the defter two winnows were called, • young man
and the wife of the defendant's brother, who gave midenos

The Assimant-Judge then ordered the man Into melody,
and reprimanded the woman for having, as both he and the
thenght. come forward to tell that which they knew to
t. untrue. But for her sex he should have sent her to mi.

relied upon the statements them persons bed toads as to the

sible for their coming torwsrd. He bad hollered from them
that be had not been galley of the viokeoe imputed to him.
The Assinent-lodge said that wee an ingenione sumt

assault bad been clearly proved, and he should piss upon the
prisoner a esteem of cia months' bard labour. The *teem
would remain in custody for the present.
