daily retained, with Mr. Metcalf., for the defence.
The learned enamel for the prosecution mid that the in-
quiry the jury were about to enter into was one of • very
panful sad melancholy nature. The prisoner woosyoung

priced of renitence. He then proceeded to Rive • narrative

his bind fell down, end the prisoner meanest to him, sod
he meat after him, and now the denand and the winner

attack made upon hint by the prisoner.
William llama, the perron who WWII in company with the
last witness c•inflrmed hui evidence as to the condition of the
Mamie and the deceased. He also said that he saw the de-
mised some up, and the prisoner asked him to saint hie
faked and he refused and they had • few wmda, and the
prisoner challenged the deceased to fight, and the deemed
replied that be had too much good sense to do that, sad
the primmer struck him immediately, and they both fell. Ha

a enemata he fell down. He was so drunk that
maid ant stead on his legs. The deceased and the pri-
me, scuffled together, end fell off the pavement into the
rod. Witness threw some stoma at the prisoner se he was
follow dig the deceased, apparently with the intention of
striking him. They were only small nonce that he threw at
him.

JObti Roper, a police-ooustable, deposed that he was in the
Mile-end-road at the time in question, and heard a cry ef
" and on going to the spot he found the prisoner
with a drunken man. He was told that he had immulted a
man who was on the opposite aide of the road, and he took
the primmer across, and the deceased gave him in charge for
injuring kis kg. He observed blood at the bottom of the
Mowers of the doomed at this time.

CTO•I4 :mined—Witting told the prisoner afterwards
that the deceased's kg was broken, and it might cost him his
his, and he replied, "My God, you doe' t say mi. 1 hope
sot ;" sad appeared very much affected.
Mr. E. Simmons said that he was present at the coro-
ner's inquest, but was not examined. He saw the occur-
'', mace, and heard en altercation take place between the pri-
' scam sad the demand, and when the former .eked him to
fight, be replied, You am • fool."
Mr. KM, house-surgeon, at the London Hospital, proved
that the dsseseed had eustained a compound dislocation of
the sokkeioint, and the smeller bone of the leg was also
Vacated. A portion of the broken bone woe removed and
the deceased was under hie are until the 26th of December,
whew he died from mortidcation of the leg, resulting from
the iejmy be had received.
Mr. Moou Chembere made a very able speech to the
Pry as behalf of the primmer, and hs said it sppeared to his
shot the unfortunate occurrence was of that character
ds-
earibed by sadist writers ad chance-medley, and that It did
act mem* to mweekosibater. He then remarked apes the
cliewnstamas of the sae, and said there could be no doubt
that the primmer was somewhat the worse for liquor, &bomb
not as bed as his friend, sad that they were surrounded by a
amebae of people, who were acting in • manner that was
vary Daly to have excited the primate Mill mote.
Ho imaid be very sorry to say • single weed

NEW COURT.
(Bsfor• Mr. Judos Was.)

die:ander Kockettancsky, 21, labourer, Myers Goldberg,
39, waterprooler, sad Jacob Coldwater, 43, tailor, were in-
dicted for hiregously having In their poesessioa, without the
authority al the Emperor of Russia, steel platia,• upon
which were engraved certain parts of • promissory note, to
wit, a nets for the payment of five roubles.
The prisoner Kochanowsky pleaded guilty.
Mr. Berjeant Ballantine, with whom was Mr. Sleigh, ap-
rrfor the prosecution; and Mr. T. Atkinson appeared
ilochanowsky.
The learned seryeant, having briefly stated the case, calkd
William John Rolls, who said—l am en engraver, and live
with my father, who carries oa the bueinees of an ene.-ever, fa
17, Sun-street, Biehopegate. Upon the 19th of October the
prisoner Goldwater came to our shop, and producing a small
gold plate, made inquiries about having the Road= eagles
and some capitals engraved upon it for a present. Alterman
conversetion he left,liat came again, bringing with him, first,
thaprisoner Kochanoweky, sod then Goldberg. Kookanoweky
they both spoke of as the baron. After sours conversation
Goldberg asked me if I could keep a mast, and then asked
me about engraving some bank pietas. I said I could keep
the suet, and atm. some further conversation they left.
I then informed my father of what had taken place,
and be communicated with Superintendent Hamilton, of
the City detective form, and under the instructions
which ha gave I acted. Upon the 21st they all came again,
when they again asked me if I could keep a secret, and pro-
duced a Russian note for live roubles, and said they wanted
two steel plates to produce notes similar to the one they had
given to him. Kochanowsky said he did not care how much
money ha paid. He would give as much as 24i. 1f they
were well done, and taking from his pocket a gold watch,
said be would make a present to tee of it if I gave them
satisfaction. They then from time to time came to our shop
to see how the plates were being proceeded with, and
Kochanowsky mid that the plates would do. Upon the 21st
of November I went by appointment to meet the prisoners
at the King's Head, Tbm=eedle•etrest, and there, in • back
room upon the first floor, gave the plates into the poses*-
, el= of the three prisoners, after which 1 left, and the police
mitered end took them into custody.
The other evidence given was that of Inspector Hamilton
end Henry Webb, the detective officers, who proved having
watched all the prisoners and repeatedly seen them together
at the shop et Mr. Rolle.
The defence set up by Goldberg and Goldwater was that
the) bad acted as innocent meets for Kocissnsowky.
The jury found them both Gouty.
Mr. Atkinson, upon the part of his client Kochanoway,
said that he wee a young Runian of a good family, but had
fallen into the hands of bad advisers.
His lordship, in passing sentence, said that the conduct
of Kochanowsky was from his position and education, ren-
dered far more heinous than that of his companions, whom he
had led into the cenimission of the offence. They had,
however, aided in the Jemmied= of an offence of a nosy
grave character ; but considering the position in life which
they tilled, and that they were ignorant and poor mon, be
should make a difference in their sentence, but still pas a
MVO* one.

ioehartOwsky wev then ordered to be kept for ten years is
penal servitude, and the otters fur five years.
Upon an application being made relative to the expenses,
the court concocted with Mr. Sleigh that the conduct of
Roils, the engraver, was very proper.
A latter taken focus the prisoner Kochanowsky, addressed
to some one is Ratak, proved that an organised spies
was in clime:toe to ter al these falls notes.
