penal servitude, and that he was the constant associate
of thieves.
The learned judge, having observed upon the serious
nature of the offence, and the necessity for protecting the
public from such outrages, ordered that the prisoner
should receive thirty-five lashes from a cat-o'-nine-tails,
and be then kept in penal servitude for seven years.
William Scutt, 10, tripe-dresse;, pleaded guilty to the
manslaughter of his wife, Mary Anne Booth
Mr. M. Williams and Mr. J. S. Will were instructed to
prosecute. Mr. Sleigh, who appeared for the defence,
urged in mitigation of punishment that the prisoner was
in a state of excitement at the time the acts of violence
were committed, and that he had previously borne a very

good
Mr. Justice Byles, after taking time for consideration,
called the prisoner up for judgment, and after observing
that his conduct towards the deceased appeared to have
been of the moat brutal character, be said that he felt it
his duty to sentence him to be kept in penal servitude for
fifteen years.
(Before the Common Serjeant.)
Richard Joshua Davis, 22, clerk, was indicted for eon-

spiracy.
There was another person, named Mayhew included in
the charge, but it was stated that he was too di to take his
trial, and it was postponed to the January sessions.
Mr. Giffard, fspecial.ly retained), and Mr. Poland
conducted the prosecution, instituted by Mr. Nelson, the
City solicitor, on behalf of the corporation of London ;
Mr. Straight appeared for the defendant.
This charge arose out of the cases that were so long
under investigation at the Guildhall police-court, in which
the defendant Mayhew was charged with having carried on
a regular system of fraud and forgery with a view to
enable parties who were liable to serve on special and other
The
to escape from the performance of these duties.
The present defendant was clerk to Mayhew, and it ap-
pearedthat in the instance where a gentleman named
ord had been fined 10/. for not appearing as special
Mayhew
he signed an affidavit that had been drawn up by
Mayhew to the effect that Mr. Kingsford was out of town
when the summons was served upon him, and so induced
the court to excuse the payment of the fine.
The defence that was met up was that the defendant had
been made the dupe of Mayhew, and that he had acted in-
nocently in the matter.
The jury found him Guilty, but recommended him to
mercy, believing that he had to some extent been the dupe
of hie master, Mayhew.
Sentence was deferred.
