The prisoner Longhorn said the' he and his fellow-pri-
soner had been drinking freely, and as they turned into the

that was accidental. The proseentor then became very

The priooner Wails said that the prosecutor offered to
let him go if he would apologise for running against him,
hat of moose he would not do that, as he would sooner die
than go down on his knees to any man. He could gal a
pod character from his employers ; and as to being a high-

Martin Cooper, a ticket-of-leave
ng man, was charged before
Mr. it wh the followi robbery :
Frek Puschart, a young man, residing at No. 3,
Little Torrington-street, was in High-street, St. Giles's,
trying to prevent a quarrel between two persons, when a
crowd collected, and the prisoner stood by his side.
Directly afterwards be missed his watch, and then noticed
that the prisoner who had been wearing a hat was wearing
a cap. He noticed the prisoner par something to s man
with the remark, " Good night," and believing It was his
watch he followed the prisoner and changed him with
stealing his watch. The prisoner denied having done so,
and he then gave him into sestody.
Benjamin Bishop, of No. 20, Upper Rathbone-place,
proved seeing the prisoner and soother man one en each
side of the prosecutor. The prosecutor complained of
being robbed, and he (witness) saw the prisoner pass some-
thing to the other man, and they then made off. He went
after the primmer and was struck by some of the prisoner's
friends.
In answer to the prisoner the witness said he did not see
aniitrn
exchangeu of hats.
t t Cole, C division, said the prisoner was a
ticket-of-leave man, the term for which he was sentenced
not having yet expired.
Mr. Tyrwhitt oommatted the prisoner for trial.
WANDSWORTH.
POLICi OFFICIOOBNIIBB.
Henry Clark, architect ; Joke Janice Liietiaren, Lad
Thowicie Olirer engineer, were charged with assaulting
Constable White, of the South Western Railway Police,
while in the execution of his duty.
Mr. Haynes defended.
The complainant was employed at the Clapham Junction
station, and he stated that late at night be was called to a
party of men in front of the refreshment bar. They were
annoyed because it was closed. On going up to them Oli-
ver tried to throw him, when his helmet fell off. It rolled
to where Clark was sitting, and he kicked it across
the platform. The helmet was damaged, and the value
of it was 12s. He put the helmet on his head,
and desired the party to leave the station as he wanted to
look up the place. Clark then struck him, when they
closed together and fell. When down Lumeden kicked
him and held him while Clark struck him. Subsequently
the prisoners were given into the custody of a constable of
the Metropolitan police who took them to the station.
The defence was that the party had been to a cricket
match, and went to the Clapham-junction to take a train
for Victoria. They, however, found that the train had
just started, and they had to wait an hour for another.
'While at the refrwliment•bar White joined with them in
their drinking, made free with them, and they ultimately
got larking, and the prisoners were given into custody. It
was also stated that the constable was not sober.
Hooper, of the V division, said that on the way to the
station the prisoners offered him a sovereign to swear that
White was drunk. He told the magistrate that White
was sober.
It appeared that the constable, Hooper, had remained in
court though all witnesses had been ordered outside during
the hearing of the case.
Mr. Dayman told the constable he ought to have gone
outside with theetherwitneeses. By remaininginside he saw
the point in the case, and therefore he (Mr. Dayman) could
not place that reliance on his evidence as he otherwise
should have done. He was always ready to uphold rail-
way officials as they had en arduous duty to perform, but
at the same time they must come into court with clean
hands. It was clear the complainant had been larking,
and, getting. the worst of it, he gave the prisoners in
charge fancying his uniform would protect him. He dis-
charted the prisoners, as he thought the complainant bad
actel wrong.

DARING HIGHWAY ROBBERY WITH VIOLENCE.

A most outrageous event, and one which in every respect
is a reflection of olden times, when highwaymen infested
every roadside and added murder to the trade of robbery,
occurred on Sunday evening near Winobfleld. It appears
that a Mr. Robert Deryer, • gentleman who has recently
returned to this country from Jamaica, had been staying
with some friends at Basingrtoke, and early on Sunday
evening he left, accompanied by his son, in a horse and
chaise for Farnborough, where he had some busi-
ness to transact of an important character. On
arriving at Wlnchfield they beard a significant
whistle from the direction of the Basingstoke Canal,
which was several times repeated. They paid no
attention to it, however, and drove on, passing through a
narrow lane into the highway. A few minutes afterwards
four rough-looking men. apparently gipries, sprung sud-
denly from the hedge-side, armed with bludgeons. One of
them immediately stopped the horse, while the others de-
manded of Mr. Deryer the voluntary surrender of all
his property, which they expressed themselves deter-
mined to have, and threatened to murder him if be
refused or offered any resistance. He resisted them,
however, as far as possible, and seeing the intention
of the ruffians, endeavoured to urge the horse on it'
way, calling out loudly, but in vain, for assistance.
One of them then struck him a violent blow on the
head with • bludgeon, and seized him by the throat;
and another secured the son in a similar manner. Having
searched the chaise, and taken from it two travelling-bags,
containing valuable property, theysearehedboth gentlemen,
taking two gold watches and chains, worth 501., three rings
from their fingers, their purses, and loose cash, containing
in all about 29/., and their sleeve links, which they cut from
their wrists with a knife. By this time they were appa-
rently alarmed at hearing somebody approaching in the
distance, and, having succeeded in taking all they could,
they made off with their booty, but, before doing so, struck
the gentlemen several blows with their bludgeons, leaving
them senseless on the trona& They lay in that position for
some time, when two labouring men passed by, and aided
as far as possible in raising them and mewling them to
the chaise. The ruffians bad by this time completely made
their escape, and the gentlemen eventually were enabled
to proofed to their destination. The men have not yet
been heard a—MEM
A SHAH SAWITART INSPECTOR. —Yesterday, at
the Bradford borough court, Mr. M'Oowen, the town-clerk
of Bradford, appeared to prosecute a well-dressed young
man named John Jackson for having, while representing

from several persons money and other property ander false
pretences. On the 13th ina the prisoner went to several

89 3-16 to 5-16 for the 9th October.
There is a somewhat increased inquiry for foreign

HALF-PAST THUS O'CLOCK
Consols have experienced a fresh rise of per
cent., being now quoted 89* to fi for money, and
891 to for the account.
About 230,0001. in gold, chiefly from the East,
has been sent into the Bank.
At Paris this morning the Three per Cent. Rentes
opened at 69fr. 20c., shoving no change.
At the moment the only considerations that
induce speculative holders to maintain their
position are the continued flow of gold to tha Bank
and the hope of a further fall in the value of
money. On the other hand, there are several ad-
verse features, including the ever-recurring Eastern
complication, and growing anxiety relative to the
state of health of the Emperor Napoleon. The
more uneaaineas is felt upon this latter score be-
cause in France everything seems to centre in the
Emperor, his ministers being little more than supe-
rior clerks, and the parliament exercising few of
the attributes of a national legislative assembly.
As regards the Eastern question, it is perceived
that the present outbreak has long been in course
of preparation, and it is argued that the Cretans
could not have gained their recent success over the
Turkish and Egyptian troops had they not received
a great deal of external aid, especially in the shape
of arms and warlike equipments.
The half-monthly settlement in shares and foreign
stocks will begin to-morrow (" continuation day"),
and end on Friday.
The amount of gold sent into the Bank yesterday
was 90,0001., including 20,0001. in bars and 70,000
sovereigns from the East. This latter sum forms
a portion of the gold by the Poonah, and a further
large amount is expected to be sent into the Bank
during the next day or two.
The Syria, with the Bombay mail, has brought
94,4891. in specie ; the Malta, from the United
States, 7,750/. ; and the Celt, from the Cape,
1,4001. The total of the above is 103,639/.
The committee of investigation of the Buenos
Ayres Great Southern Railway Company have
issued their report to the shareholders. They
express their acknowledgments to the directors and
officers of the company for the full explanations
given to them, and refer iu satisfied terms to a pro-
posal of the directors for a reduction in their num-
ber and rate of remuneration. The report states
that " the government having accepted the line,
will, under their guarantee, be bound to make good
any deficiency in the revenue, to pay 71. per cent.
dividend on 700,0001. in December next," but the
committee recommend that the payment of a divi-
dend be deferred until the completion of the fiscal
year, when the government guarantee will become
payable. In conclusion, satisfactory representations
are made with regard to the prospect of an increase
of traffic, and the shareholders are advised not to
rest content with the 7 per cent. guaranteed by the
government.
A special general meeting of Reuter's Telegram
Company (Limited), was convened for yesterday,.
" for the purpose of sanctioning and confirming

struction and laying down of the cable between.
England and Hanover, and also to authorise the
directors to do all acts requisite for carrying such
contract into effect." A resolution was unani-
mously adopted sanctioning this contract, and
authorising the directors to issue the promissory
notes and shares specified therein.
The shareholders of the British and Californian
Banking Company (Limited) met yesterday to:con-
sider a proposal emanating from the directors for
a winding up, the ground upon which this con-

effect was carried unanimously. It was stated it
the meeting that the shareholders will receive back
their money in full.
The members of the late Committee of Investi-
gation of the Joint Stock Discount Company (imi-
ted) met yesterday to consider the progress of the

was come to, and an adjournment took place.
