ed and starved their child, Peter liennes,,y, an infant,
between two and three years of age.
D. Carter (82) said—At ten o'clock on Wednesday
morning, the 22d inst., I went to a room at No. 1, Mon-
tague-court, Bishopsgate-street, and saw the male priso-
ner and a little child. There was scarcely any furniture
and there was no food there. The child had scarcely any
clothing on, and its head and face were covered all over
with sores. I asked the man how it was that the child
had been without food. He said the mother got drunk
and neglected it, and sold the furniture and spent the
money. Patrick M‘Donald, a witness in the case, told
me in the presence of both prisoners that they both got
drunk and neglected the child. The man did not make
any reply. I took him into custody, and I took the
child to Mr. Fowler, a surgeon of the parish.
Patrick M`Donald said—l live in the house No. 1,
Montague-court. On Tuesday, upon coming up at 4
o'clock in the afternoon, I heard screams, and went up-
stairs to the room occupied by the prisoners. In the
middle of the floor the child was lying, leaning on its
hands, crying, on the bare boards. There was neither
food nor furniture in the room. The man is a tailor.
I put the child on a bed of straw, and when they found
I had done so, they locked the child up until they came
back again, about ten o'clock at night. I have kept
my eye on them ever since Good Friday.
The Lord Mayor—What induced you to keep your
eye on them ?

LAMBETH.—Matthew Wilduck and Thomas Murty,
two members of the riotous gangs who invest the Water-
loo road and the thoroughfares adjacent, were charged
with creating a serious disturbance and assaulting the
police early yesterday morning.
Marty, in consequence of having dislocated his "shoul-
der in his struggles with the police, was not placed at
the bar, but was sent to tho hospital to have the disloca-
tion reduced. He, however, returned shortly afterwards.
Police-constable 89 P, after describing the affray, said
that when coming up to the court this morning the pri-
soners attempted au escape. They both exhibited the
greatest violence, and are known thieves, and the con-
stant associates of the wore characters about the New-
cut. The constable added that these gangs were a per-
fect terror, and almost rendered the Waterloo-road use-
less to respectable people at night, as no person could
possibly pass without being annoyed and molested by
them.

Witness—l knew that they bad behaved ill to a child
before. I again saw the child about 7 or 8 o'clock on
Wednesday morning. It was naked and alone, and
tbere was no food in the room. I gave information to
the police, and the male prisoner returned home at 10
o'clock. I did not see the wife. He works at home
usually as a tailor, and she goes out to sell what he
makes. They were tenants of mine at 2s. a week, and
took the room about two mouths ago. I don't know
that a day has passed that the woman has not been
drunk since they have lodged at my house. The male
prisoner has been very frequently drunk too. Through
her getting drunk he used to, get drunk. My wife has
twice washed the child to keep it clean. Ahcut three
weeks ago I went into the room at 8 o'clock in the even-
ing, and looked all round, without seeing the child. At
last, I saw the child in the middle of the room, lying on
its face and hands, with an old coat over it. The pri-
soners did not come home till 12 o'clock, and then they
were both druuk. This sort of conduct continued every
day till they were in custody. The man is a bard work-
ing man, early and late, when sober, and, in my opinion,
they could get an excellent living but for their drunken-
new. When I have spoken to the woman about their
late hours and intoxication, she said it was a habit of
theirs.

The prisoners having nothing to say in answer to the
charge, were committed by Mr. Elliott—Wilduck for

Mary Mahoney was charged with picking pockets in
the third-class refreshment room at the Crystal Palace.
Sergeant Quinnear proved the case against the priso-
ner, and she was committed for trial.

Rebecca Williamson—l reside in the same house. On
Tuesday I heard the child crying, and Mr. M‘Donald
asked me to go up stairs to see it. The child was lying
naked on straw on the floor, and the straws were stick-
ing in the sores on its body. It was too weak to get up.
I asked the male prisoner on Tuesday, at ten o'clock,
" Dear me, has the child had anything to eat to-day ?"
" No," he replied, "it hadn't anything since yesterday."
I have often seen the two prisoners drunk, and they
generally came home in that condition at twelve or one
in the morning.
Mr. Robert Fowler, of 145, Bisbopsgate-street, sur-
geon, said—On the 22d August the officer brought to me
a little boy, about two years and a half old. The child
was exceedingly dirty, ar.d almost the whole of the body
was covered with an eruption, in the nature of a skin
disease, from the neglected state of the child, which had
affected the system. The eruption itself derives its name
from that condition of the system, and would be super-
induced by improper food, or want of proper food, and
neglect of cleanliness. The eyes of the child were also
inflamed, which also might be accounted for by the state
of the system. Some of the sores were open or raw
sores, and some were scabbed over. The pulse was ex-
ceedingly feeble, and the whole frame indicated that the
child bad not bad sufficient food. The body, but more
especially the limb., were emaciated, and that indicated
insufficient nourishment. I think that internal disease
of the glands of the intestines had commenced, a di-
sease which would also be favoured by want of food and
❑eglect.

Gross-examined by the male prisoner—I believe the
condition of the child was caused by want of food.
Mary Gunn, widow---I reside at No. 8, in Montague-
court. I have seen the prisoner about six or seven weeks.
I never saw the child alluded to till this day week, when
I went into the room at 10 o'clock in the morning.
Both prisoners were out at the time. A little boy about
10 years old was in the room. . I saw the child per-
fectly naked lying on some straw in the corner. A
dirty sort of rag was thrown over it. The child said it
had nothing to eat, and I went and got some bread and
butter for it. The child took the bread and butter in
its hand, but it did not move nor put its hand to itv
mouth. I lifted the head, but the head fell on one side,
evidently from weakness. I never saw a child so dirty
in my life. I could not stand the sight, and I went
to the bottom of the court and gave information to the
police. I have only seen the prisoners five or six times.
The father came into the house as I went out, but I did
not speak to him.
The Lord Mayor asked, according to the usual form,
whether the prisoners wished to say anything in answer
to the very serious charge brought against them ?
The male Drisou er alwq.vs work very bard.
and I always iound plenty of food for the child. 'rile
child was in the habit of laying its head on my knee
when I have been at work.
The female prisoner said—l had been out all day from
twelve o'clock till eight in the evening, and r always
leave somebody with the child.
The two prisoners were then committed for trial at
the Central Criminal Court.
The Policeman—My lord, I have seen the child this
morning. It is clean, and looks much better and stronger.

GUILDHALL.—Joseph Brett was charged, before
Sir R. Carden, with stealing six silver dessert spoors,
one table-spoon, one pair of sugar-tongs, and twelve
plated teaspoons, the property of Mr. Joseph Fisher, his
master, under the following circumstances :
From information given to the police, the officers Bull
and Packman went to Mr. Fisher's premises, in No. 3,
Cripplegate-buildings, last night, and, with the foreman,
obtained a ladder and entered at the first-floor window.
They searched seven rooms, but found nothing to excite
tbeir suspicions. They then went to the second floor,
forced open a bed-room door, and there they found the
prisoner standing by the side of the bed. He said, in
answer to the officer, that he was locked in by mistake,
but Packman said, that could not he, fur there
was the key of the door lying on the bed near the
prisoner. He made no reply. Packman then searched
the bed, and found the articles above named between
the bed clothes. The prisoner said he got' them
from the dining-room down stairs. He also said that
he was not locked in, but concealed himself in
the lower part of the house. Packman had been to the
premises and examined the lock of the safe in the count-
ing house. The wards were broken, and the marks on
the safe corresponded with a pair of pincers found on the
flocr near the safe, The pincers belong to the premises.
The prisoner was committed for trial.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—John Creesy, an old
man whose clothes were much the worse for wear, was
charged before Mr. Bingham with begging of several
gentlmen in Piccadilly.
Police-constable 131 C said, last night he was od duty
in Piccadilly, when his attention was called to the pri-
soner, who was annoying several ladies and gentlemen
by demanding alms. Knowing the defendant to be a
member of the begging fraternity, he took hi:n into
custody.
The prisoner indignantly denied the charge of begging,
and said, although his wardrobe was in a very dilapidated
condition, he could assure his worship that he was a re-
spectable translator of languages, and no common beggar.
The fact was he vas a victim to personal appearances.
He had also an inc )me derived from reading the burial
service once a week ; that was a matter of reciprocity.
Therefore, was it likely, with such excellent advantages,
he should take to the low calling of a cadger?
Mr. Bingham said, from his personal knowledge of
the prisoner from his visits to this court, he (Mr. B )
was convinced that he (defendant) was begging ; and as,
in spite of all that had been said to the contrary, he still
persisted in begging, he (Mr. B.) should commit him to
the house of correction for seven days.
Prisoner—Oh, your worship, it's all owing to my per-
sonal appearance.

CLERICENWELL.—Theresa Edmonds, but whose
real name is Gregg, an actress, was placed at the bar
before Mr. Tyrwhitt, charged with feloniously stabbing
William Edmonds.
Police•comtable Billinghurst, 44 S, produced the fol-
lowing certificate : " William Edmonds is not quite so
well this morning, but generally may be considered as
progressing favourably.
A professional gentleman, who attended for the pri-
soner, produced a letter, signed by the injured man, in
which he stated that it was quite an accident ; that it
occurred through his own passion, while the prisoner
was cutting some bread; and that when he recovered he
did not intend to appear to prosecute any charge. The
prisoner, who was a most mild inoffensive person, had
an aged mother and a child to support, and he therefore
trusted that bail would be taken.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said that it was a proper case for bail,
and he thought that two sureties in the sum of 401.
would be sufficient.
The prisoner was then removed.
The court was crowded with members of the theatrical
profession.

WORSHIP-STREET.—Catharine Sodor was placed
at the bar upon an adjourned charge of having attempted
to strangle herself.
At the former examination a young man named John
Gallagban stated that he had being paying his addresses
to the prisoner, who resided with her mother, but ever
since the commencement of their acquaintance she had
exhibited an extreme degree of mental depression. On
the evening of Tuesday se'nnight he induced her to ac-
company
beforehmta private concert, on leaving which,
shortly o'clock, he was about to see her home,
but she declared her intention never to return. After
traversing innumerable streets without any apparent ob-
ject, she suddenly wished him " good night," and darted
away in the direction of the railway arches. She sue-
ceeded for some time in eluding his pursuit, but he at
length found her sitting upon the step of a door, with her
head drooping forward over her chest, and on raising her
up he discovered that she had twisted the strings of her
bonnet so tightly round her throat that she was on the
point of strangulation, and totally insensible. He lost no
time in cutting the ligatures, but nearly ten minutes
elapsed before was restored to consciousness, and as 13 he
