CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

-
(Before the Recorder.)
Vide( 4:1 Vinsoni, V, an Italian, • tall, well dratted
man, described as • soldier, was charged with unlawfugy
and maliciously wounding Edward law Gilbert, a polio,-
constable, in the execution of his duty.
Mr. Poland conducted the prosecution, on behalf of the
Corporation of London.
The facts of this case will be fresh in the recollection of
the public. The prosecutor is • City pollee oonetable, end
on the Vth of December he and Sergeant Scott, of the
City force, were on special duty in the Old Jewry, when
they observed the prisoner loitering about, and they were
induced hoer his conduct to watch him. The prisoner
went into Mongate-street, and the officers followed him,
and at length asked him what he was doing at that place.
No replied that ha was an Italian, and that he was waiting
to see the Italian consul. The sergeant told him that he
could not see the consul on that day, ea it was Sunday,
and the prisoner then became violent and said something
about being a Fenian. The of upon this endeavoured
to take the prisoner into custody, but when Gilbert laid
hold of him the prisoner wounded him in the wrist with
an open clasp-knife which be took from his pocket.
It was intimated to the court before any evidence was
gone into that the prisoner was not of sound mind, and
Dir. Gibson, the surgeon of Newgate, was examined, and
be stated that his opinion of the prisoner was that he was
decidedly of unsound mind. Be was labouring under
several delusions, one of which was that he was suspected
of being a Feuian, and that persons were endeavouring to
have him removed from this country.
The jury, upon this evidence, returned a verdict that
the prisoner was of unsound mind, and on that account
unablelto tale his trial; and the court made the usual order
Mat he should be detained in safe custody during her
Majesty's pleasure.
Ger•rx Bel ten Briefer surrendered to take his trial for
what is technically termed a misdemeanour at common
law, the offienoe imputed to him being that be had endea-
voured to impede the due course of justice by attempting
to intimidate a person named George William Day from
giving evidence against a prisoner named George Gould
alias Bristow, who was tried at the last session of this
court for obtaining goods by taw pretences, and sentenced
to tiv, years' penal servitude.
The defendant was also charged with assaulting the
same person.
Mr. Streight conducted the prosecution ; Mr. Lilley
appeared for the defendant.
The evidence in this ease showed that the man Gould
was the father of the present defendant, and he was com-
mitted to take his trial at the last session of this court
upon several charges of fraud and swindling. On the
Monday of the session, before the trial came on, the de-
feudent appeared to have met Day in Portugal-street, and
after sou.- conversation lie threatened him with violence
it he gave any evidence:nrsinat his father. At this time it
appeared Day had not been examined on behalf of the
prosecution, but on the following day he was subpcenacd as
a witness for the prosecution, and he subsequently attended
the court and gave evidence. As he was leaving the
court the prisoner appeared to have commenced abusing
him, and at length struck him on the shoulder. Upon
this being done he was taken into custody, and the pre-
sent charge preferred against him. The prosecutor, for
mule reason or other, was evidently desirous to place the
conduct of the defendant in as favourable a light as pos-
sible. and it appeared that he was somewhat the worse
for liquor at the time the occurrence took place. It also
appeared that there was some family oonnexion between
the defendant and the prosecutor.
The jury found the defendant (huffy, but recommended
kim to mercy on the ground that the transaction had
partly arisen out of a family squabble.
The Recorder said that if the jury were aware of the
rein facts of the case they would probably have not given
the recommendation. The former prosecution was a very
Important one, and it nearly failed owing to the defendant,
who was himself n witness, declining to state all that be
knew in reference to the matter, and he then endeavoured
to prevent other witnesses from giving their testimony.
The defendant was then sentenced to nine months' hard
ur, and to pay the coats of the prosecution ; and in de-
fault of data,; so, to be imprisoned for three months longer.

months, and caught him at last.

Charles Walla= Chapman, driver of a cab, wearing •
badge, No. 16,840, and Jo na disossla, • distiller's
traveller, were charged with being drunk and incapable of
taking care of themselves.
Ononday night, at a late hoer, the trimness woo dis-
covered opposite the Bad Gm publiolsoan, in Mils-ond-
road,

'constable, 307 K, saw the cab psiOng gold the lead a• •
reckless pace. Knowles was behind on ths baak seat,
wearing the cabman's badge, and driving. He flourished
the odor, bat not like a regular driver. Chapman was
inside the cab smoking his cigar.
1 Mr. Benson—The prisoner Knowles was the driver, and
the driver was the fare ?
Lillystane—Yes, sir.
Chapman said he thought the gemmun odd take more
care ofhone and cab than himself, and he gave up the
reins to him.
Mr. Benson said the cab driver's licence was endorsed
with a conviction of 21. fora similar offenoe in October last.
Chapman—lt was worse than this.
Mr. Benson—l shall not enter into that. The ender's-
meat states that yon were fined 21. for being drunk on
your employment. You will not be a cab-driver much
longer. Yon are fined 2/. The other prisoner, Knowles, is
fined sa.
Knowles paid his fine. Chapman was locked up.

Upwards of 600 of the inhabitants have been sworn in to

A public meeting, convened by the Roman
catholic.' of Worcester, was held on Monday evening, for
the purpose of passing resolutions denouncing Fenianism.
The Rev. IL Mahon prodded, and there were on the plat-
form the Rev. W. Waterworth (S.J.), priest of the con-
gregation, and the Rev. Mr. Faxakerley. The chairman,
in opening the proceedings, said it behoved every true
catholic to speak out boldly and fearlessly at the present
time. Fenian= was, be said, • delicate subject to con-
sider, but they had et to speak on and to consider it.
They were not met to consider—end he spoke as an Irish-
man—the repeal of the Union,or the annexation of Ireland
to any other nation' or the grievances of Ireland, but to
enter, as catholic', their prated against the measures
taken to disturb the peace of the country, or to overthrow
the government, and he who did so was pursuing • wicked
and bad course. Ireland had many grievances which needed
to be redressed, but they were not to be redressed by law-
less and wicked designs. No. expedient should be omitted
to prove to the English public that this band. of marauders
had nothing whatever to do with the catholic body. The
English (*thence had nothing in common with them, sod
they repudiated any connection with them. The priests
were, be said, open to speak out more than any other
persons, because they had the welfare of their congre-
gations at heart, and had no interest other than with
them. Mr. O'Brien proposed, and Mr. Young se-
conded, the following resolution :—" That, as the catholic
church has denounced all secret societies, we, as
members of the church, and obedient to her authority,
emphatically express our detestation of the association
known as the Fenian Brotherhood." The motion, being
put by the chairman, was carried. The following resolu-
tion was also carried:—" That having heard with extreme
regret of the diabolical outrages lately perpetrated in
London and *Lowlier* by wicked and designing men, we
hereby make • solemn protest against and =preen our
abhorrence of all such iniquitous acts, sod declare our
devoted allegiance and faithful attachment to our sove-
reign and the constitution of these realms." This resolu-
tion was also passed :—" That if any attempt be made by
Fenian, or others to commit outrages in this city, or to
disturb its peace, this meeting pledges itself vigorously to
assist the authorities in suppressing any such attempt."
The meeting was very orderly and the loyalty of the
people present was heartily manifested.
Owing to the wide-spread rumour last week
that all the churches and chapels at Merthyr were3to
be fired on the Sunday very general disquietude was
shown, and the influence was especially visible in the
thinning of the various congregations. At Delilah; it
was deemed expedient to guard the chapels, some
of the congre.getion remaining at the door to pre-
vent any =sale or explosive matter from being thrown
in amongst the people. Happily all passed in security.
During the trial of the prisoners the streets were
very much crowded, and • forcible illustration was
gives at one time of the day of the result that would
have happened had the entry of the primeness taken place
in daylight. A cry arose about three o'clock, " They are
taking the prisoners to the train," and instantly a rub
took places from all parts, many thousand people
gating in one vast mass, and for the moment impeding
all traffic Boon, however. it was discovered to be • ruse,
and the people surged back again to the police court.
That an act of violence on the court was anticipated was
shown in the course of thelday, by the approver being
ordered to stand by the mums& table, and not in the
witness-box as usual. This alteration screened himfrom the
crowd, and any weapon used, or article thrown, must have
first injured the prisoners, with whom he was in a line.
At the early part of the examination this witness was
deadly pale and nervous, but gradually this wore off, and
he gave his evidence with classes and intelligence.

reported.
Inspector White, of the K division, who had the ma-
negement of the cue, said he had an important witness to
call for the first time.
Isabella Jarman, wife of John Jarman, a labourer, of
No. 3, Boarded-entry, Shadwell, stated that at half-
part.one on the morning of the Thad of December, she was
peering up New Gravel-lane on her way to Hi4-ortreet,
Shadwell, and met a drunken man on the old bri , south
of the new one under which the demoted was wned.
He had halfpence in his hand, and she hoard them rattle.
He was staggering as if he ins very drunk, and to
himself. Directly afterwards she saw two men
in the same direction. The young man she first saw spoke
to her as he passed, and eked her if she was looking for
Mr. Diens, to which she replied, " No, I am not." Directly
afterwards she heard a dispute on the new swivel bridge ;
it was a sort of row ; it seemed like a knocking, as if
some one fell down. She hurried up the lane and re-
turned half en hour afterwards with her husband, when
men were dragging the water for the body of the d
and two were brought up, the body of a woman fierser
the body of the deceased afterwards. She should net I
, know either of the men if she was to meet them
In answer to questions by Mr. Beeson and Kitt*
who appeared for the prisoner, the witness said ale rem
when she heard the noise on the bridge. She was aIwIRT.
very dull when she passed ova the bridges where many
suicides were committed.
Mr. Beard said that according to the woman's account
the deceased had time to throw himself off the bridge, if
it was he she met, before the other two man came up
with him. The solicitor then reviewed the whole of the
ease, and submitted there was no evidence to justify the
magistrate in sending it before a jury. One man was
employed by Cory and Co., the coal merchants, and a very
induatrous person he was, and the other was employed at
the cool whippers' office.
I Mr. Benson was sorry to say a great responsibility rested
I with him. The evidence he had beard bad determined
I him to alter the decision he bad almost come to and he
should commit the prisoners for trial.
The prisoners were then asked in the usual manner if
I they had any defence to make, and were cautioned. One
man wished to enter on his defence at once, but the other
wished to reserve his defence until the trial. After &good
deal of conversation between Mr. Benson and Mr. Beard,
the latter said he should exercise the discretion vested is
him and call witnesses the police inspector ought is have
called. It was not the duty of the police to stifle any part
of a case, whether it told favourably or unfavourably, few
or against an accused party, but to lay all the facts Whams
magistrate.
Mr. Benson—Certainly. I quite agree with you.
Mrs. Sophia Brown, the mother of the deceased, said
that she was at home when her son frame to see his father
on the night of Saturday, the 21st of December. He asked
hie father to forgive him, and he said he would not, and
was struck by she deceased. Her husband said he would
fetch a policeman. Her son said he would destroy him-
I self, and she walked a short distance. Her son said,
" Mother, go home ;" and she promised to do so if he
went to his lodgings direct Her son was weeping and
very low spirited, and he threatened to destroy himself
both inside and outside the house. In consequence of her
ion threatening to destroy himself she sent two of her
children after him.
In answer to Mr. Benson, the witness said that her son
lodged in Christian-street, St. George-in-the-East, to the
west of her dwelling. New Gravel-lane Bridge was to the
south of her dwelling, and the deceased had no occa-
sion to go that way to reach his home, and the
bridge would take him to the water side in Wapping,
the Thames-tunnel, and Rotherhithe. Her son had no
cause or business that way at all. Her husband and son
had been in great poverty. The quarrel between them
was about some money her husband had lent him.
Mary Ann Briant lived with her parents one door from
the deceased's parents, and heard him say while his father
was in quest of a policeman, " I'll do away with myself,"
which he repeated twice.
Maria Brown, sister of the deceased, was directed by
her n other to watch him on the Saturday night in ques-
tion, and she did so for some time until he gave her the
slip.
After the hearing of other witnesses, and a long dis-

cussion.
Mr. I:etv.on said the evidence of Mrs. Brown, the mother
of the deceasod, his sister, and Briant was entitled to very
considtrable weight, and had influenced his mind to a great
extent. lie had no reason to doubt the testimony of Mrs.
Brown, and he could not shut his eyes to the fact that her
son after the quarrel with his father had threatened to
commit suicide, and that the bridge where he met with his
death was not on his way home. At the same time there
were circumstances in this case not at all satisfactory and
intelligible. The deceased received his week's wages a few
hours before he was found drowned, and there was no
money in any of his pockets when his body was taken out
of the water, and cue pocket was turned inside out. The
evidence of Mr. Waptatf was quite trustworthy, and there
was not the shadow of a suspicion against him, while the
demeanour and language of the prisoners was anything but
what it ought to have been. He had fully considered all
the circumstances of this painful case, and he felt bound
to say that atter the evidence which Mr. Beard had laid
before him he should not be justified in committing the
prisoners for trial, and they would be discharged.

THE WILDER 16-131112 T. AXi" ►T LIVERPOOL,

On the 21rd of December, an old man named Lennon—
since dead—who resided in a cellar in Great Howard-
street, Liverpool. was struck at his own door by one of
four men standing in the street, and who, before repeating
the blow, said that Lennon was the " wrong man.' Len-
non subsequently died from the effect of the blow be re-
ceived, and the coroner's jury returned a verdict of " Wil-
fal nturtkr against some person or persons unknown." It
is now supposed that Lennon was mistaken for his next
door neighbour, a master lumper named Mahoney, who
had given great offence to some of his men by threatening
to discharge them if they took part in the proposed FlllllllO
funeral procession. The police incline to this opinion, and
are investigating the matter.
ATTEMPTED ESCAPE Or A CONVICT AT CHAT-
MAN.—Yesterday morning during the time a party at
about a thousand convicts were engaged in their labours
at the dockyard extension works, St. Mary's bland, Chat-
ham, one of the number, a convict named John Campbell,
who is undergoing a sentence of seven years' penal servi-
tude, and who is known to be a man of very desperate
character, made a determined attempt to region his
liberty and escape from the island. ith others of his
gang Campbell was employed on the excavaung works,
and while so occupied contrived to conceal himself under
the boiler of one of the lwiclrmaking machines used on the
island, eluding for a time the vigilance of the convict
keepers. In a abort time, however, the convict wee
missed, and means at once adopted to effect his capture,
every portion of the works being minutely eserched for
that purpose. After a short time the convict was disco-
vered by a polios-consrsble named Redman, when on being
ordered out he made an attack with an iron spanner on
principal warders King end Oeurtmen, daring which the
Litter received a severe blow at his bands. The convict
was. however, speedily overpowered and conveyed to the
St. Mary's prison, when he was ironed prowl* tou%s ewg

A Sums IN THE M.Aircnarnic POLICL-COVELT.—
Yesterday morning, Charles Fugate, • reinandad prisoner,
was brought before Mr. Fowler and other magistrates at
the at Manchester, charged with =I
a • rifle. The prisoner was not originally
se a mien, but for steeling the rifle of a volunteer, at
whose house he had had a night's lodging. Several other
charges of theft were also made against him. While the
evidence was being taken the • frequently turned
round and looked up to the (which was crowded),
and continued to make signs to persons whom
be appeared to identify. The officer in charge of the dock
checked the prisoner from time to time, end eventually
Mr. Fowler called upon the officer in charge of the
gallery to arrest any person whom be saw " tele-
graphing" to the prisoner. Upon hearing this remark
the prisoner sat down in the dock, and coolly scowled
sullenly at the magistrate. Inspector Garner, having
had previous experience of the prisoner, at once rushed
over the frost of the dock, and an exciting scene
took place. The prisoner struggled violently with the
officer, and blasphemed in a strung American accent, and
in the most awful terms. The struggle atilt oontinnuig—
Mr. Fowler—Gaudy, Garner ; don't use more violence
than is neoesury. Prisoner (to Garner)—Oet out of the
dock, you ; you've no business here. I won't tolerate
your conduct any longer. You dm, you've abused
me every way sines I've been here. I'll knock one of their
beads off in a minute, the infernal wretches. Who
the are you? Here the prisoner, who was evidently a
rash of desperate character and great strength, attempted
to close with the inspector, but Garner was too quick for
him. Mr. Fowler (to the prisoner)—Prisoner, look here:
you've been behaving very improperly all the time the
ease has been going on, and if you do not remain quiet,
I most take the case in your absence. Prisoner—Then let
the wrekdise treat me bear, the infernal dogs. Who's
✓ag to be humbugged by (to LispestorGarner again)?
Mr. Yowler—Let him sUnd up, Garner if be assaults an
of in the dock, you know what to do with him. The
prisoner again broke out swearing horribly, and was about
to close again with the inspector, when Mr. Fowler—Let
him be removed. To the prisoner—You are remanded
fora week, because you are not in • right frame of mind
to oonduct you case properly. The prisoner was then
forcibly taken to the cells below the court, yelling and
struggling with much violence. As he was being
out of the dock he exclaimed, " I'll shoot you—therXot
lot !" There was considerable commotion in the
gallery while this scene was going on. At the conclusion
of the other business before the court the prisoner was
Nein placed in the dock, for the purpose o concluding
the evidence against him. He was now perfectly quiet.
Sergeant Henderson, of the detective force, described the
circumstances under which be arrested him near the Town
Hall, on the 28th of last December, on the charge of steal-
ing • rifle. Evidence was also taken in •second case. On
the Ifith November, the prisoner, who said he was engaged
at the warehouse of the Messrs. Watts, went to the house
of Mr. Alexander Pearson, in Hulme, asking for lodgings.
He said be would be remaining about five months, and ex-
plained why it was he bad no luggage by saying it was in
London and he would have it sent for on the following
day. He was shown into his bedroom for the night, and
in the morning he let himself out, without saying any-
thing about returning. A number of articles belong-
ing to • fellow-lodger were missed, including several pairs
of gloves, • silver chain, a puree containing 30s. in
money, and a quarter dollar (American). Mr. Fowler ad-
ministered the usual caution, and asked the prisoner
whether he would be dealt with that day or be sent for
trial. Prisoner—l don't know what you mean. Mr.
Fowler—You are charged with stealing gloves and other
articles, and you need not plead at all, but whatever you
do may must be taken down in writing, and may
be used in evidence against you in your trial. The
Prisoner—l have got • varie of gloves. If,. Fowler—
Do you plead guilty or not gutty' The Prisoner—l don't
care whether I'm guilty or not. Mr. Fowler—l will take
that as a plea of not guilty. The Prisoner—Do as you
like about it ; say I stole them all ; I don't care so loos
as I get oat of this. Mr. Fowler—You would rather be
tried here? The Prisoner—Well, I'll say I'm guilty. Mr.
Fowler, after ascertaining that the prisoner was previously
unknown to the police, committed him to prium with
hard labour for six calendar months. The prisoner gave
his address as No. 5, Third Avenue, New York.

All these have been decently and becomingly buried at
the expanse of the committee. The lint six are interred
together in Finchley Cemetery in one grave, which may
be called the " Victims' Grave," and over which the com-
mittee purpose to erect a suitable memorial Of the suf-
ferers still in hospital the committee find it difficult to
speak in any certain or definite form, particularly for this
reason, that dandy any of them bays as yet reached the
stage of convalescence, and it is as yet doubtful as to
whether many of them may not be incapacitated for life
from earning their own livelihood. They are all badly
' wounded, and, as the following statement, supplied by the
authorities at the hospitals, will show, there are many of
them who bays suffered lodes that can never be recovered.
The returns made to the committee from the hospitals are
detailed in the following schedule :
Caleb Beckett (18), carpenter, disabled head, left arm, and
hind bruised.

Anne Cross (8,, 'even compound fracture of left leg; con-
cussion.

Besides the cases in hospital, the committee have re-
ceived returns of personal injury to as many as 111 per-
sons, who have suffered more or less severely from the
shock. A careful perusal of these unhappy oonsequenoes
of the Fenian outrage will best illustrate the difficulty
which the committee has all along felt as to the adequate
compensation to be made to the innocent sufferers. Most of
the female sufferers hare been accustomed to contribute
their own proportion to the " bread-winning"—industdous
and thrifty housewives of skilled mechanics. Ev.
is upturned and dislocated ; the sacred safety=
has been ruthlessly violated, and the victims left to
start afroh, with nothing to start from bat the kindly
help ancl bounty of the public. Most of them will
never be the same again. The committee only wish
that all England could but look upon that ghastly sight of
wounded men, women, and children, sad than fix the
measure of what ought to be done for these aflllated
people. 501. each would be 2,0001., and the seems to be
but a cold mockery of their pain end lees. If the bile
bounty wouldrn
double this, or increase it to even a Varar.
amount, the committee can only say, as wideness of •
deep sorrow, that all that would thus he dada ler the vic-
tims would be well deserved and well bedewed. They are
the nation's flesh and blood—the nation's =train chil-
dren on whom the stroke bas fallen. The dank.
of the committee have been r
alrestiby resolu-
tion, tendered to W. Foster White, ~ treasurer
of St. Bartholomew's Hospital ; to . Holden,
and the 'medical doff of St. Bartholomew's ;H to Mr.
Hill, and medical staff of the Royal Free omital,
Grey's-inn-road; and to the authorities of Ring's
College Hospital, for their prompt and skilful attention to
the wounded sufferers. Not the least painful element in
this catalogue of suffering is that which has come under
the care of the lady visitor,. whose detailed report shows
the following results. Speaking only of the district affected
by the shock of the explosion, Mee. Bailey writes

PRECAUTIONS AGAINST FENIANISM IN CANADA.—
The New York papers of the 27th ult. palish the fob
lowing despatch, dated Montreal, Dec. :—" Some tin•
easiness was occasioned here yesterday by reports which
have been in circulation for lOW time post of a proposed
Fenian nuithig on Christmas-day. and of a scheme to
blow up the English cathedra Threatening letters were
received by the police authorities, and as a matter of pre-
caution men were lent to guard the waterworks, and
troop. kept in readiness to move when called upon.
Nothing of an unusual character, however, occurred to dis-
turb the festivities of the day."
Yesterday morning, the business in the chambers
of the Pilaster of the Rolls was transacted for the first time
at No. 10, instead of, as heretofore, No. 14, Chancery-lane.
Mr. Church, Mr. Marshall, and Mr. Hawkins, the chief
dens, have their several rooms for the public hearing of
summoning, offices for clerks, and private rooms. The new
premises, in point of extent and convenienoe, ass greatly
superior to those vacated. It is not now difficult to find
the offices of the three divisions, as they are separated
into distinct floors, and not, as heretofore, by narrow pee-
wee and intricate and obscure windings.
ANOTHER DEATH FROM DESTITUTION. —Fester-
day Mr. Humphreys, coroner, held an inquiry at the
Duke's Head tavern, Whitechapebroad, relative to the
death from starvation of Matthew Donovan, aged 38 years.
The deceased was one of the men who sell groundsel
about the streets for sing birds ; but owing to the cold
weather be became latterly unable to procure groundsel to
carry on his business. He therefore took to begging, but
had to go into the Whiteehapel workhouse, which aft-
blishment he left through some unexplained cause. It
would appear that the destitute persons who go into the
workhouses in winter complain much of the bitter cold
which they ex rhea alter the washing which they
undergo. The daawd since be left the workhouse slept
at a threepenny lodging bones, at No. 3, Angel-alley,
WhiteahapeL He used to beg during the day to get the
3d. to pay for his bed. The manager of the lodging-house
said, "-that it was necessary for him to pay for hie bed
before he got food, for if be did not pay the 3d. be would
be turned out." Dr. J. S. &quiffs Mild that be was celled
to the deceased on Friday lest, and he found him dead in
the lodging-house. His body was dreadfully emaciated ;
his clothe' were miserably smutty, and worn out. The
post-mortem examination showed that there was not a par-
ticle of fat in the body. The stomach was quite empty.
The intestines were contracted from long privation, and
the bleed was thin from the same cause. The cause of
death was congestion of the longs from want of toed and
to the cold. The diseased was a healthy man,
=rmthe'e
re was no natural eases far his death. The jury
returned a 'edict " That the deoseeed's death was aces-
aimed by want of food and eifileisnt clothing sad
warmth."
FATAL EFFECTS OF A BOX ON THE EAR.—An
extraordinary see was investigated by a coroner's Nut
Shrewsbury yesterday, the deceased being a little
ten yeas of age, named Edwards. From the widow, it
appeared that a fortnight ago the deceased bad been pre-
sent at a fight between two lads of his own age, one of
whom was named Clinton. The fracas coming to the
knowledge of Clinton's mother. the ran out of her house,
and seising hold of the boy who had been quarrelling with
her son, carried him off to his own home. On reusing
the mesas of the fight, she saw little Edwin& stendleg
