offices, of the latter corps, went in pursuit of
the insurgents of the Bailee regiment, imme.

of the corps entrusted with the military chest rejoined the
Colonel of the Bailee Regiment, The Wien insurgents are
proceeding towards Villarejo, where, it is said, they expect

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

(THIS DAY.)

•...-..

The January Milian, of this court were opened Wore
the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor (Mr. Alderman Phillip!),
the Common Serpent, Mr. Alderman 3. C. Lawmen, Mr.
Alderman Lusk, M.P., Mr. Alderman and Sheriff Gibbons,
Mr. Sheriff Figgie', the Under... Sheriffs, and the usual civic
authorities.
The calendar °cuisine the names of 50 prisoners, of
whom 43 are males and 7 females. Of three prisoner, 13
were committed by the magistrates of the City of London,
18 from Middlesex, 1 from Fawn, 6 from Kent, and 12 from
Surrey. The various offences with which the prisooers
stand charged may thus be summarised :—Barglary, 5 ;
uttering counterfeit coin, 11; emberelement, 1 ; forgery,
3 ; shopbreaking and larceny, 4 ; lemony as a earvent, 5 ;
larceny from the person, 2 ; manslaughter, 2 ; minders's,
nour, 3 ; feloniously receiving stolen goods, 1 ; robbery, 2
feloniously shooting at with intent to murder, 1; and
feloniously wounding, 3.
The grand jury (of whom George Lewis, Esq., was
chosen foreman), having been sworn,
The Common Swim* as Deputy-Recorder (eating in the
absence of Russell Gurney, Esq., the Recorder being shame
on a special mission to Jamaica), proceeded to charge them.
The learned Common Salami congratulated the gentlemen
he addressed on the comparative lightness of the oileeder.
Only three weeks bad elapsed since the last sessions of the
court, but still the number of cams to be disposed of was
comparatively Ins than at the corresponding amnion of the
past year, and these included several which had been re.
mended from the lest sitting of the court. He
was happy to state that there were only two cases
involving the lose of human life, but these did
not present any feature of malice prpmes, or in
other words to amount to the crime of wilful murder.
but to the lease: crime of manslaughter. The first of
thee* was the case of a parson of the name of Moss, which
unhappily appeared to have originated in a yobbo-house
row, in which the prisoner sod the deceased were both the
worse for liquor. A fall ensued, and the cause of death
was attibuted to extrwvasation of blood on the brain,
caused by the violence used towards the deceased by
the prisoner. If the grand jury were of opinion that
in the absence of any justification there was a
prima facie case for further investigation they would
return a true bill. The next Me was that of a son charged
with the manslaughter of his father, and this arose also
from the indulgence in drink. Both father and eon cense
home the worse for liquor, a quarrel mined, in which the
father struck the son several times, and at last the accused
struck the deceased, who fall with his side against a table,
and died from the injuries he thus sustained, It would be
for the grand jury to say whether the provoostion the II&
cased had received formed a legal justification for his acting
in his self-defence. The next case to which he (the
Common fierjeent) thought it necessary to advert was that
of a foreigner named Elie Feriae, charged with feloniously
wounding a foreign gentleman of the name of Dornbusch,
with intent to murder him. It would appear that the
Crter had been wlaid by the prisoner, while the
was progressing along a dark passage to his office*
in Gresham House, City, when the prisoners, who had
several spears secured round his body, inflicted on the pro-
secutor no less than twelve fearful stabs in different parts
of the body, the point being turned by a diary and some
papers which the prosecutor was carrying in the breast
pocket of his overeat. When apprehended on the charge
the prisoner declared that his intent was to murder the
prosecutor. Under these circumstances the grand jury
would be of opinion that this ease should undergo further
investigation. There was no other use to which he
thought it n to advert, and therefore he dismissed
the grand jury to the discharge of their duties.
The grand jury then withdrew.
