TER WORD AND THE BLOW.
Marge Folios', a powerful labourer, living in Friar's-
oast, Bethnal-green, was charged with violently amanit-
his wife Ann.
Newell, 46 H, said—Between 11 and 12 last night I was
cs duty near the prisoner's lodgings, and beard screams in
siroman's voice. The sergeant and I went there, and saw
complainant bleeding profusely from the head. A portion
II the mattress appeared to be saturated with blood,
aid some was also on the sheet. She said that her
jesband had struck her with the poker, but he denied it.
sbia is the poker (bent), it was in the fire-place, and I
oticed hair upon it, but can't see it now. She gave him
ate custody. Both of them were sober.
Defendant—l didn't touch her with the poker. She fell
,gainst the fender, that's what cut her head.
Complainant—On my oath, gentlemen, I did not fall,
and on my oath he hit me as I tell you. Look here (dis-
slaying a lap full of blood stained clothes). He asked me
where I had been, although he knew well, and gave me a
slow directly, saying " You're drunk."
Defendant—She comes home late continually. It was
12 o'clock. Is that a proper hour for a wife to be from
ier home'
Complainant—lt was 11, not 12, and I then had been
mocking a long time at the door, for you had gone to bed.
I could not return earlier.
Constable—The defendant complained to me, your wor-
ship, that his wife kept late hours, and aaked, " Would
you stand it if your wife did so?"
Magistrate—Whether she does or not is really nothing
to the purpose in this matter ; allowing that she does so it
cannot justify you in striking her, as she swears you aid,
with *poker ; besides, she declares that you know where
she had been, and that she could not return earlier. The
co nstable's evidence agrees with her statement of the
time, not with yours. shall now remand you.
Remanded accordingly.
SOUTHWARK.
BURGLARY BY A BROTHER-IN-LAW.
William Clarke, rather a singular looking young soon,
was placed at the bar before Mr. Burcham, charged with
burglariously breaking and entering the premises of Mr.
Alfred Liddicott, provision dealer, High-street, Borough,
and stealing therefrom about 13s. In copper money.
The prosecutor said that for some time past monies had
mysteriously been missed from the counting-house when
commencing business in the morning, and at last suspi-
cion fell upon the prisoner, who for three weeks was in his
employ as one of his assistants, but the mystery to be
solved was how he committed the robberies, as witness
was the last person who locked up the premises and took
the keys with him after leaving all safe in the
counting-house. In consequence of missing 15s. more
en the night before last he communicated with
sergeant Bell, a detective officer of the M division, and
before locking up the premises on the previous night he
left about Lis. in copper money in the counting-house. A
little after 10 that occurred, and about an hour afterwards
he returned to the premises with Sergeant Bell to watch
for the thief ; but, much to his surprise he found that be
had been during his absence, and carried off all the coppers.
In consequence of information received, he accompanied
Sergeant Bell to a public-house in the vicinity, where the
prisoner was found treating some loose women, and two
of the packets of copper was found on him ; and he was
taken into custody.
In answer to Mr. Burcham, witness said that the
prisoner was his brother-in-law, and had robbed him
before, for which he was punished. Witness, however,
believed that he was labouring under insanity at times.
Mr. Burcham said he hardly believed that from the
manner in which he conducted himself.
Sergeant Bell said he accompanied Mr. Liddicott
to his premises, and on discovering the robbery
they went to several public-houses, and at last
found the prisoner treating a number of females.
He called him out and found a paper of coppers
in one of his pockets, and on the way to the
station-house he threw away another, both of which Mr.
Liddicott identified by the wrappers. Witness ascer-
tained that on the previous day the prisoner had
purchased two five shilling punnets of cherries at
Covent-garden-market to treat the same females,
and he had daily been spending money in a
similar way. After he was locked up witness returned to
the prosecutor's premise.' and found that they had been
entered by climbing to the top of the stable in the rear
and opening the landing window, which gave him access
to the counting-house.
The prisoner was remanded for evidence of a former con-
viction.

THAMES.
AUDACIOUS ROBBERY OF oCOAR IN TRANSIT.
Thnnvm Carry, a young man described as a waggoner,
was brought up on remand before Mr. Partridge charged
with stealing 217 lbs. of sugar, the property of John
Bathers, and Co., town carmen and earners, of Dock.
street, Upper Kvit Smithfield.
On the 2:ith of April last a carman named Alfred Sted-
man, in the service of the prosecutors, was despatched
with a horse and van to fetch a hogshead of sugar from
the West India Dock, and deliver it at Hore's Wharf, in
Wappiiag, for trans-shipment to Scotland. The hogshead of
sugar was delivered in aperfectly sound state to Stedman,
and its weight was then 16 cwt. 2 qrs. 21 lbs. When
it was delivered at Here's wharf, the weight was only
14 cwt. qrs. A part of the head of the cask was knocked
out and a piece of tin nailed lover a hole through which
sugar was abstracted. Stechuan was four hours on his
journey from the dock to the wharf. He ought
not to have been more than one hour. He
was arrested by Dunaway, a detective officer, No.
11 H, and was convicted at the last Middle-
sex Sessions, for stealing the sugar. After his con.
viction Dunaway saw him iu prison. Stedman made
a full confession, and in consequence of his state-
ment the prisoner Carey was taken into custody. Sted-
man was now brought up on a writ of habms
corpus to give evidence, and he made a full, cir-
cumstantial, and frank avowal of the robbery, and
the respective parts he and Carey took in it. He said he
was on his way to the West India Dock, and met the pri-
soner in Cable-street, Wbitechapel, and communicated his
errand to him. l'he prisoner said, " Will you let me take
the sugar out of the hogshead ?" to which he consented.
The prisoner said he would get some tools and meet
him on his way from the dock. They met again
oppo,ite I.imeh. use Church after he received the hogs-
head of sugar. lie drove his horse and van to Bow-com-
mon, where the robbery was effected. They put a sheet
over the hogshead, and Carey got under the
sheet, cut a large hole in the head of the
cask, and took the sugar out. The prisoner filled a
bag with the sugar, and then nailed some tin over the hole
he bad made. He delivered the hogshead of sugar at
Here's wharf, stopping on the way at a confectioner's shop
in Hatchtf Highway, where the stolen sugar was sold. He
pleaded guilty at the sessions. lie had been in Messrs.
Bathers' service twelve months.
Deborah Marshall, confectioner, of No. 17, St. George's-
street, better known as Rateliff-highway, said that she
bought a big of sugar on the 2.5 th of April of the pri-
soner:, and gave them 21. for it. She gave the money to
Carey, who handed sonic of it to Stedman. She was in a
hurry, and paid 2.55. first and 15s. afterwards.
The prisoner made a long defence, admitting his share
in the robbery. Stedman told him not to do (steal) more
that. 2 cwt. The woman Marshall when she received the
sugar said the weight was only 1 cwt. 3 qrs., and that it
tame to 21. ds. She gave him Tic, and he gave Stedman
V.A. out of it. After Stedman went away he drew Dis.
more of Mrs. Marshall.
Dunaway said this was a most important matter for the
townearinen and carriers, who had been robbed of goods on
trais:t to a great extent. Carey was privy to many of
these robberies, and had been " hanging about" the dock
entrance for a long time.
Mr. Partridge committed Carey for trial, Stedman was
sent back to prison and he will be a witness for the crown
when Carty is tried.

Warner, the Fenian informer, is likely to re-
cover from the effects of his wound. He was to have
sailed for Canada with his family on the 31st inst..

According to a letter from Vienna, published by ,
the Ear,pe of Frankfort, a thousand nightingales have :
been caught, at the request of the Emperor Maximilian,
and will be speedily shipped for Mexico.
Loan LYON,—Various rumours have been in
circulation as to the presents made by Mr. Sutton to those
chietly associated with Lord Lyon and the Derby. We
believe we are not wrong in stating that the owner of
Lord Lyon put James Dover, his deserving trainer, "on"
5,000/. for the Derby, and that he presented 1,0001. to
Custance. To Thomas, who rode Lord Lyon in the Two
Thousand, Mr. Sutton gave 3001. for his successful
mount, and an additional 300 f. after the Derby.
To little Carter, the lad in the stable who, it
will be remembered, rode Gardevisure for the
Cambridgeshire, Mr. Sutton presented 60/. ; and, as a
proof of his liberality, we may mention that the owner of
Lord Lyon put on the head waiter at his London hotel
"thirty ponies." Altogether, Mr. Sutton, in presents
and •• standings in," has most handsomely parted with
upwards of 10,000/. Such liberality is seldom recorded
even among turf men, whose generosity is well known to
our readers, and up to the present time we have never
heard that any dolocur was given by Count Lagrange to
Henry Grimshaw, the famous jockey of Oladiateur.—
