CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

(Before the Common Becrieset.)

jallift &oft, 38, Alexander Casnaliell, 36, Mien Wilton,
24, .I...licobeth EiriilA, 27, and Easily &ea, 28, were indicted
for a robbery with violence on Aboolom Bennett, and
stealing fromitim a watch, chain, and key.
Mr. C. 8. Griffiths prosecuted; James and Emily Scott
were defended by Mr. Wood i Campbell by Mr. Phillip;;
Wilton by Mr. Montagu Williiuns ; and Smith was Un-
defended.

About one o'clock on the morning of the let July, Mr.
Fairfax Franklin, an estate agent, wax passing amity
Surrey-street, when he was assented by two of the female
prisoners. He tried to get rid of them, but they per-
sisted in following him and attempted to steal his watch
and scarf pin. Eventually, to get away from them, he
had to give them a shilling each. Shorty afterwards he
arrived at his own house in Norfolk-street. All this time
the two male prisoners had been walking on the other
side of the street. On his house he went in, and
having laid down his watch, chain, and umbrella, he pro-
vided himself with a stick and went out to the doorway,
where he saw Mr. Bennett swotted by the women, and
while they were talking to him, Scott crossed the street,
and knocked him down. After robbing him of his watch
and chain, the prisoners ran off towards the Strand, but
were followed and given into custody.
James Scott was sentenced to ten years' penal servitude;
Emily Scott, his wife, who assaulted one of the polioe-
ofilas.3 in attempting to rescue her husband, to seven
years' penal servitude; and the others to twelve months'
imprisonmenteach.
Nary Ilske, 21, spinster, was charged with setting fire
to the dwelling-house of Alfred Newton Mell, divers per-
sons being therein.
Mr. Montagu Williams and Mr. Straight conducted
the prosecution; and Mr. Cooper appeared on behalf of the
prisoner.
The accused was a general servant in the employment
of the prosecutor, who resides at 11, Osborne-place, Clap-
ham-road, and the came was of a somewhat extraonlinary
character, inasmuch as no motive could be ascribed for the
commission of the offence, the primmer having only en-
tared Mr. Melt's service a few days previously. It ap-
peared that about half-past II in the forenoon of May 2l
the house was found to be on fire, and the only parsons in it
at the time were the prisoner and a fellow servant (the
nursemaid) and Mrs. Melt and her two children, nor:
about two years old, and the other a baby. An alarm was
made by some of the neighbours, who observed smoke
issuing from the premises, and water was thrown on tit's
flames, which were afterwards effectually subdued by some
firemen. It was then discovered that the house hail been
set fire to in nine places on different floors, under circum-
stances which left no doubt that it had been done wilfully
andwith greatdelibfaution. Before the firemen arrived the
prisoner told a man named Cooper, a greengns, r,
who had come to the house on seeing the smoke, "not to
let the firemen in, as her muster would have to paythern."
In the course of the afternoon Mr. Moll gave her rot,, cus-
tody on suspicion of committing the offence.
In reply to the charge the prisoner said, " What should
I want to set the house on tire for i" If I had wanted to
set the house on fire I would have done it in the night-
time, and not during the day.." On being %candied some
ionic matches were found in her pocket. The other
servant it appeared was in the nursery with the children
shortly More the breaking out of the fire, find she p .•••
Lively swore that she was ignorant as to how it occurr.• I.
The jury, after deliberating on the evidence, returned
a verdict of Guilty without retiring from their box.
It was then proved that the prisoner had been sentenced
to 12 months' imprisonment fur theft in May, IRA nn ler
the name of Mary Coleman ; that shortly after her is • •
in 11467 she obtained admission into the service of
gentleman named Mummery by means of forged certifi-
cates of character; and that while ill that employe' .tit
the house was set on fire, the prisoner being the only
person who could have done so.
The Common Serje ant sentenced her to fifteen years'
penal servitude.
On hearing the sentence the prisoner fainted, and was
carried out of the dock.

Thin concluded the busineee of the seasiona, and the
court was adjourned to the 17th of Anguat.

THE POLICE COURTS.

MARYLEBONE.

Edward Neal, a labourer, was charged with the follow-
ing wilful damage.
Samuel Wright, foreman to Thinsk and Co., builders,
Chelsea, said a few days ago the prisoner applied to him
for employment on some buildings in Maryland-road, Pad-
dington. He set him on. On Wednesday morninghe disputed
about his wages being only 44d. an hour, the best labour-
ing hands being paid 6d. The prisoner left, and said he
would have it out. On return from dinner he found a
quantity of brickwork thrown down, doing damage to the
amount of 6/.

Richard King, a labouring lad, stated that during the
dinner hour he saw the prisoner try to push a window sash
out. Failing in this, he went on to the scaffold and threw
down a lot of brickwork through the rafters.
Dan Wells, bricklayer, said he was at work upon the
job. He was having his dinner in the building, when the
prisoner came to hun and said, if he was not there he
would throw down a lot of brickwork. He asked him
what for, and his reply waa, that he had not had enough
money. Prisoner said that he would have the other out
of the firm. Witness went to get some tobacco, and on
his return found the brickwork thrown down.

Charles Wilding, 195 D, took the prisoner into custody
on the previous evening. He asked the foreman how he
knew it was he who did the damage, and added ho could
have been miles away if he liked.
Prisoner at first said the damage was aceidentallv done
in his attempting to reach his tea can. He wished. it t 3
be settled here.
Mr. Mansfield committed him for trial.
WESTMINSTER.

Mr. Edward Smyth, solicitor, addressing the magistrate,
said-1 have an application to make to you of a novel
mature under the Matrimonial Causes Act, for a protection
urder to be granted to Mrs. Mary Ann Elgar. An applica-
tion has been previously made to you and the matter
adjourned. I thought it had been held that in order to
entitle the wife to protection the husband mud have
lately gone away from her. That is not the case in the
present instance, and it is my duty to submit that it is
not necessary it should be so to entitlethewifetotheorder;
for, es in the present case, where the husband renders co-
habitation unsafe by personal violence and threats, and sells
up his home, avowing his determination not to live with her
any more, he in effect drives her from her home, and vir-
tually deserts her as much ea though he left her bodily,
all his conduct having a tendency in that direction. I will
prove he repeatedly assaulted her, jammed her against a
door, saying he meant to break it ; and, holding a poker
over her head, threatened to knock her brains out. He sold
up the home, and she left the horse from fear. I will also
prove he told Mrs. Deran that he had broken up his house
to get rid of his wife, and did not intend to live with her
any more.
Evidence of the above wee given, and Mr. Arnold,
after looking at a case quoted by Mr. Smyth, granted the
order as prayed.
