with violently assaulting Jane Brady, who appeared in
court with some contusions on her face and arms. _

The prisoner has adopted an English
name. He is well known to the police ; keeps a questionable
coffee-shop and lodging-hours 81, Ratcliff-highway ; sell
spirits on Sundays while the licensed houses are closed, and
has been engaged in other illegal transactions. Among the
unfortunates attached to his house is the complainant, over
whom he hail exercised great tyranny, and would not allow
her to retain her inunoral earnings. He took Ca. from her,
went outand spent the money, and returned to his infamous
den intoxicated. He asked the complainant whj, she did not
scrub his room and clean his place. She said it was no
business of his, on which he abused her, struck her with
• bottle, and after knocking her down kicked her about
the body and jumped on the side of her face. An Eng-
lish sailor named Robert Russell, staying in the house
with another female, named Ellen Kemp, said that treat-
ment to a woman was neither fair nor manly, pulled the
prisoner away from her, and compelled him to desist.
The prisoner took up another bottle, struck the woman
on the shoulder with it, and broke the bottle. Some
of the glass fragments struck Ellen Kemp's arm,
and cause it to bleed profusely. The prisoner then
threw the complainant Brady on the floor, and re-com-
menced kicking and beating the wretched woman a second
time. The woman screamed " Murder" and " Help."
Russell again interfered, and after a general fight in the
house among foreigners and English, in which the former
got the worst of it, the prisoner was given into custody.
Mr. Joseph Smith (solicitor), who defended the prisoner,
said he was instructed that the complainant began the
affray by striking the prisoner and abusing him. He called
two witnesses, who did not materially alter the com-
plexion of the case.
Mr. Paget said the prisoner was not content to live upon
the earnings of the wretched outcasts in his house, but he
must beat them. A more detestable creature than • fellow
who got his living in such a disreputable manner could
not be conceived. The prisoner narrowly escaped being con-
victed of committing an .i,ggravated assault, and he would
in that case have sentenced him to six months' bard
labour. He was not satisfied quite that an aggravated
assault had been committed, but a very brutal and das-
tardly one had been, for which be sentenced him to two
months' imprisonment and hard labour. He was sorry the
law did not give him more power to punish the prisoner.

HAMMERSMITH.
Mary Ann Raven, a genteel-looking young woman, was
brought before Mr. Dayinan on a charge of stealing a
depository receipt for 1101. and a counterpane belonging
to her mistress, Mrs. Elizabeth Morris, a widow, residing
at No. 2, Brunswick-terrace, Kensington.
The prosecutrix stated that the prisoner was in her
service two years ago, but she returned about five weeks
since, as her servant was ill and about to leave. Witness
went to Brighton, leaving both servants in the house.
When she returned about a fortnight ago, she missed the
depository receipt on the London and County Bank,
Kensington branch, from a leather case which she kept in
a private sitting-room. She found the case locked as she
had left it ; but the leather had been cut in order to
extract the receipt. She accused both her servants with
stealing the receipt, when the prisoner admitted taking it.
She left the house, witness allowing the matter to stand
over, an she promised to obtain the receipt from the per-
son who had advanced her money upon it on the return
of her muter. Two days afterwards witness missed a
counterpane which she had since recovered from the pri-
soner, who at first denied having taken it. The mother
refused to pay the money which had been advanced upon
the receipt.
Sergeant Ellis, of the T division, said that on Monday
week last he accompanied the prisoner to the Evening
Star beershop, New-out, Lambeth, where he saw the land•
lord, who stated that he had lent her 121. His house-
keeper was acquainted with her mother, whom she repre-
sented was dead, and said if she could borrow 121. for the
funeral she would re it out of money which she had
coming to her. She leftpa the receipt and an I 0 U with
him. The prisoner denied the statement, but she made
no reply. On Friday last he went to the prisoner's lodg-
ings in Stangate-street, and took her into custody. On
searching her boxes he found the photograph likeness of a
soldier.

The prisoner told the magistrate that she had intended
to have returned the receipt.
Mr. Dayman remanded her for inquiry.
GREENWICH.

Emily Raymond, of 14, Stanhope-street, Deptford, pros-
titute, was charged with stealing a carpet bag and contents,
the property of Samuel Netherton, carpenter, of 1, Ely
Cottages, Ely-road, Croydon, and also assaulting him and
his wife with an umbrella.
The prosecutor said that at 12 the previous night, accom-
panied by his wife and sister, he was proceeding along the
New-cross-road to the railway station when the prisoner
snatched the carpet bag he was carrying, and threw it
into the road. On asking her why she bad done this the
prisoner deliberately struck him across the face with an
umbrella, and on his wife coining up she was also struck
in a similar manner.
Matilda Netherton, wife of the prosecutor, who exhibited
a bruised eye, confirmed this evidence.
The prisoner, in her defence, produced the skirt of a
black silk dress, which she said was torn by the prosecutor
stepping upon it, and that on asking him for an explana-
Lion the female who was with him and his wife came up
and Lit her on the cheek.

The prosecutor's wife denied this, and said the prisoner
must have received the injury to her cheek in some quarrel
elsewhere.

Police-oonetable 224 R said when he took the prisoner
into custody she was very drunk.
Mr. Traill sentenced the prisoner to fourteen dap' hard
labour in Dfaidstone GaoL

Mark Ford, of Dock-street, Deptford, seaman, was
charged with assaulting and threatening to murder his
wife, Caroline Ford, andwilfully breaking furniture, value
101., the property of James Sims, of 4, Claremont-street,
Greenwich.

Caroline Ford, who exhibited a black eye, said that 16
yeah ago she was married to the prisoner, but separated •
month afterwards, and had not lived together since. Ten
months after they separated the prisoner returned from a
sea voyage, and she saw and passed him in the street, hut
did not speak. She bad not seen him at all during the
last two years until the previous afternoon, when he came
to the house where she was living, and, entering, stood
still for some time, end then at down, saying, " I am
bent on coming, and will have your life, and break every-
thing in the place." He then went into the yard and broke
the windows
i afterwards breaking articles of furniture,
striking her n the eye, and, getting her into the corner of
the room near the cupboard, be seized the shovel and poker
and threatened to beat her brains out.
Mr. Twill inquired to whom the furniture belonged.
The wife replied, to James Sims, a man aim was now
living with.
The prisoner said he had spent 751. upon his wife when
first married, and while at sea she received 261., his half-
pay, but on returning home he found her living with the
man Sims. If he had struck his wife it was by accident
when breaking the furniture.
Mr. Trail said he should require the prisoner to find
bail in 101., on condition of his keeping the peace for three
months.

The man Sime here stepped forward, and said he had a
charge to prefer against the prisoner of destroying his
property.
Mr. no. If you oboom to live with the wife
of another man, who breaks your goods, jolt must seek
your remedy elsewhere than is a police-court.

FRENCH PROTESTANT CHURCH Of LONDON.—
The scheme for the management of the property be-
longing to the church in St. Martin's-le-Grand has been
settled by the Master of the Rolls, and bas been printed
and circulated by Mr. Fearon, the solicitor of the Attorney-
General. The scheme is of en entirely revolutionary cha-
racter, no doubt considered necessary by the unhappy
differences still existing in the church. Whilst the funded
and real property of the church is to be vested in the
official trustees of the court, instead of, as heretofore, in
the consistory, the oontrol of the interest and rents of such
property is to be vested in trustees, to be appointed by
the court, and who are to be twelve in number ; the con-
sistory will thus be relieved from the duty of dispensing
the funds of the church, but are, nevertheless, to have
the power of certifying to the future trustees
what tiisbursements the consistory may think reasonable,
for payment of the salaries of pastors and other func-
tionaries of the church. Upon receiving such certificate
the trustees are to make such certified payments, if satis-
fied of the reasonableness of the request. Schools are to
be established in the neighbourhood of Soho, and to be
entirely under the control of the twelve trustees to be
appointed. Minute directions are given as to the instruc-
tion to be afforded, as also in respect of the qualification
for church membership. The trustees are to be at liberty
during the next ten years to apply an annual sum, not
exceeding 2001. a year during the first five years, and
not exceeding 100 f. • year during the second five
years, in distributing money, coals, fuel, and clothing
among poor persons who may not have received
parish relief during the preceding twelve months. It
will be perceived that three bodies are recognised
by the scheme—first, the official trustees; secondly, the
twelve trustees to be appointed by the Master of the
Rolls ; and, lastly, the consistory, the position of which
last body will widely differ from that of any preceding
consistory, inasmuch as it will be wholly deprived of the
power of dispensing any portion of the funds of the
church. In November next the mart will make its selec-
tion of trustees ; the amounts of the mosistory are in
course of examination before the chief clerk. We trust the
scheme will have the effect of restoring harmony to the
church, but at the same time are somewhat sceptical as to
the realisation of our wishes. We understand that the
late Attorney-General (Sir John Rolt) has tendered his
advice, in • truly Christian spirit, as to the count, which,
in his judgment, the consistory ought to adopt, but that
that body has abstained from acting upon the suggestions
of the learned gentleman.—City Prem.
