Hemingford-terrace, Islington, appeared to a summons
charging him, under the 6th and 7th of William IV.,
cap 86, with making a false representation upon the oc-
casion of registering a child.
Mr. Buchannan conducted the prosecution, andl Mr.
Parry the defence.
The circumstances, as detailed in support of the
charge, are briefly these. On the sth of December, 1854,
the accused presented himself at the office of Mr. Smith
registrar for the north-east division of Chelsea, for the
purpose of registering a child, of which he represented
himself to be the father. The statement he gave for the
purpose of its being inserted in the register was that the
child was born on the 3d of November, was named Wil-
liam Henry, and that the mother's name was Elizabeth
Perfitt, formerly Phillips, which was false, as, in fact,
the mother was a single woman. This portion of the
entry was the offence complained of, and in support of it
a witness was called to show that the accused was mar-
ried on the 6th of October, 1854, to Frances Powell,
who is 'still alive. The present proceedings had been in-
stituted by Mr. Powell, the brother of defendant's wife,
who stated that Elizabeth Phillips was his (Pow ell's)
wife's sister.
The examination and cross-examination of Mr. Smith
occupied a very considerable time, and was very peculiar.
He could not remember this particular registration, and
his answers, therefore, bad only reference to his usual
mode of doing business. He could not swear that de-
fendant ever gave the name of " Perfitt," as the mother
of the child, and he would not swear that he ever told
him the maiden name was Phillips, but he must have
assented to it. If he did not put the questions, they
were always put in his presence.

Mr. Pairy submitted that there was nothing in either
the law or the fact to sustain the present charge. The
act of Parliament did not contemplate any information
whether the mother was married or not, neither infor-
mation of legitimacy ; nor would it be inconsistent with
the circumstances of the case for the defendant to have
given the name of Perfitt, because that was a reputed
name ; although, so far from there being any evidence
of his having done so, the registrar had stated that it
was his practice to assume that the mother and father
were married, and that he bad inserted it as a matter of
usage. Defendant had never alleged or shown in any
way that Elizabeth Phillips was his wife. Supposing
the case to have been proved, " the name and maiden
surname" had been fairly given, if the surname were the
name of repute.
Mr. Arnold observed that the case was one of im-
portance, and he would postpone his decision till Friday.
Defendant entered into his own recognisances to ap-
pear on that day. •

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—James Eastgate was
brought before Mr. Bingham cbarged with having com-
mitted a forgery, in order to defraud the trustees of the
National Provident Institution, St. Martin's-place.
John Marshall Olive, clerk at the institution, said—
On the 6th of January, the prisoner opened an account
by depositing a shilling, for which he received a pass
book in which to register future payments. On Satur-
day evening, about three months afterwards, the pri-
soner brought the deposit book, and said he wanted to
give notice of his intention to withdraw 4/. Witness
looked at the book, and found that several fictitious en-
tries had been made in the book, and these entries pur-
ported to bear the signature of Willis and Jones, and of
the clerk who took the original and only deposit of one
shilling. The forgery was immediately detected, and
witness asked the prisoner if the book had ever been
out of his possession. The prisoner said his mother-in-
law had kept it for some time. There were no clerks of
the names of Wills or Jones in the bank.

Edward Boodle, secretary, said the prisoner was
brought to him by last witness. He asked the prisoner
how much he claimed of the bank. The prisoner replied
"Four pounds." He asked the prisoner if he had em-
ployed any one to pay in the money. The prisoner re-
plied, he had paid it in himself. He told the prisoner
the affair was a serious one. The prisoner then said, his
father had brought the money to the bank for him. The
book was detained, and the prisoner allowed to go away,
in order to fetch his father. The prisoner did not return,
and he was subsequently given into custody.
The prisoner declined to make any defence and was
remanded for a week.

Matthew Cooper, described as a gentleman, was
charged with steali ig a gold chain, the property of Mr.
Packer, jeweller, Regent-street.
The prisoner went into the shop and asked to see some
chains. He selected one, and while the shopman's at-
tention was engaged, he secreted another. The shop-
man missed the chain and taxed the prisoner with the
theft. The prisoner put the chain on the counter with
his arm, and wanted to make out that the abstraction
was a❑ accident.
Remanded.

SOI7THWARS.—Ann Carmoody was charged with
the following robbery.
Thomas Flynn, a waterman, said that about 9 o'clock
the preceding night, he was proceeding along Church-
street, Blackfriars-road, towards his home, at Bankside,
when the prisoner suddenly sprang from a dark door-
way, and clasped her arms round him tightly, at the
same time asking him what was the time. While en-
deavourieg to disengage himself from her he felt her hand
in his pocket, and as she wai in the act of withdrawing
it be seized hold of her arm, and charged her with rub-
bing him of his money. She made use of an oath, and
struggled hard to get away, but witness kept hold of her
until a constable came, and then he gave her into cus-
tody. Witness was perfectly sober, and had just left off
work. At the time he was stopped by her be had in his
pocket a five shilling piece, a half-crown, &c., and a me-
tal ticket used in his employment.
Philip Brown, 15 M, said when she was given into
his custody he found in her right hand half-a-crown,
fivepence in coppers, and a metal ticket, which the pro-
secutor identified as his property.
Sarah Ann Fensom, the female searcher at the station-
house, said she asked her whether she had any more
money. She replied that she had not, hut witness found
in her bosom a five-shilling piece.
Committed for trial.

Mr. Richard Early, the master of the ship Northum-
berland, trading between the port of London and Aus-
tralia, was summoned by Win. Tress, steward of that
vessel, to show cause why he refused to pay him 301.,
alleged to be due to him as wages.
Mr. Pelham, who appeared for the complainant, said
he shipped for the voyage to Port Philip and back, at
the monthly wages of 31. 10s. At Port Philip four of
the crew deserted, and atter remaining there seven weeks
the captain signed and executed an agreement at the
back of the ship's articles to give his client and the re-
mainder of the crew 51. a month for the voyage back to
London. On arrival in the latter port the captain re-
fused to pay that sum.

A solicitor, who attended for the defendant, contended
that the agreement was useless, and entered into under
fear. The fact was the crew were deserting his ship,
and to keep those he had on board, he (the captain) was
compelled to resort to some stratagem. The learned
gentleman cited two cases decided by the judges, " that
where seamen .signed articles for a specified sum per
month for the voyage, and the captain to keep his crew
together home bad resort to a fresh agreement of higher
wages, such wages could not be recovered." It was
only the surplus that his client refused to pay.
Mr. A'Beckett said lie bad no duubt the judges were
correct in their judgment, and the summons must there-
fore be dismissed.

WORSHIP-STREET.—Elizabeth. Lambert, the wife
of a carrier in Qu-..en's Head-walk, Kingsland, was
charged with cruelty to a child.
Mrs. Eliza Grey, a widow lady residing in the Kings-
land-road, stated—l know the prisoner, from her dealing
in vegetables close to my house, and know that she had
a child named Edward Clarke under her care. I have
not seen her in the act of ill-using the child, but I have
heard its painful cries very frequently, and at 10 o'clock
last night they were renewed worse than ever. They
were so serious that I and my father went to her door
and listened, and distinctly heard her dash the child
down on the ground, and, from the sound, it appeared to
me to come upon its head. I then heard her trying to
hush it, and stop its cries, and I knocked at the door.
A man, I believe her husband, opened it, and on getting
in I found the child sitting on the floor. I asked the
prisoner how she could be so cruel as to ill-treat the little
creature in that manner, and she replied it was because
it had made a mess. I went to take the child up, but
she pushed it from me, and I then saw blood on the pri-
soner's gown. I pointed it out to her, but she made no
reply, and another woman came in and demanded the
child from her. On a former occasion I questioned her
about the bruises I had seen upon its person. i have re-
peatedly noticed fresh marks of ill-usage upon it, and the
one now above the left eye and the other on the top of
its head, from which the blood has flowed, are both
freshly done since I last saw it. I remonstrated with
the husband for letting his wife illuse it so, and he re-
plied that he did not think she had hurt it much.
Miss Emma Jennings, last witness's sister—While at
supper I heard a sharp slapping sound and the prisoner
scolding the child. It sounded to me as if she were shak-
ing it, and then a sound as if it had been thrown on the
floor. Prisoner was in a great passion, and the child
shrieked, as it were, inwardly. My sister, before this,
questioned the prisoner about the child's contusions, and
she said it had fallen on a fender.
The child was here produced in court by a nurse of
the Shoreditch workhouse, to which it had been taken.
It was an intel:igent little boy, about two years old, but
very thin, and on its person being exposed for examina-

At the instigation of the first witd-
nes* I went to the prisoner's house last night, . , the prisoner with the child in her lap. On seeing me
she thrust the eliild under the counter. The child was
sobbing, and I demanded to Fee it. She said there was
nothing the matter v.ith it as she had only given it a
whiPPing, but I persisted, and on her taking it out I

4s. and two leaves weekly from the officers of St. Luke's
parish for the care of the children. There are several
bruises on the head of this child which have come out
fresh since last night.
Mr. D'Eyncourt--Where are the parents of the child ?
Mr. Ross (relieving officer of Shoreditch parish)—l
am given to understand, sir, that their parents have
deserted them.
In answer to the charge the prisoner said that the
child had fallen on a piece of iron and hurt itself ; the
cut on its head bad been produced by a comb ; she had
no children of her own, bad been married about eight
months, and had had the children from the parish soon
after she was married.

Mr. D Eyncourt—l should wish the parish surgeon to
see the child at once.

Mr. Ross—l will have both children, Sir, conveyed to
our workhouse, and will see to the proper medical ex-
amination of this cne myself.
Mr. D'Eyncourt thereupon remanded the prisoner
until that day week, and, on the woman asking to be
admitted to bail, he refused to accept it.

THE "JOKING" IN THE ENNIS 7ILLENS
-SERGEANT BR,O Dig IN PiilS9N.

(Prom the Z:outh,Eastern Gazette.)

As the ire of those officers who have been conspicuous
in the late disgraceful proceedings increases in vehe-
mence, and displays itself in the persecution of the un-
offending Serjeant Brodie, of the Ist Royals, so does
the sympathy of the public evince itself in the condem-
nation of men who belie the title of "gentlemen," to
which they lay claim. Hitherto the public have
treated their "jokes " with contempt, but a sterner
course of procedure will follow, we have no doubt,
the following narration of " incidents " that have
marked these almost unprecedented occurrences. As our
materials are derived from the best possible sources, it
will be as well to take up the case at the appearance of the
Acting-Adjutant-General Foster, at the Barracks on
Saturday week, of whose inquiry a brief outline was
given in our last. Serjeant Brodie having been brought
into the orderly-room, the Acting-Adjutant-General
questioned him as to the occurrences on the morning of
the duel, and took down the answers, withthe exception
of the statement of the serjeant that Adjutant Webster
ordered the guard to " knock him (Brodie) down with
the butt-end of their carbines, if he resisted them." The
general said he did not wish to hear that. Adjutant
Webster was present during the inquiry, and repeatedly
laughing, and telling the general that " half of Serjeant
Brodie's statements were lies." Serjeant Brodie was
then sent back to his room a prisoner, and in about
half-an-hour again taken to the orderly-room, when
Lieut.-Colonel M`Queen, Adjutant Webster, Lieut.
Hartopp, and other officers were present, but the general
had left. The colonel addressed the serjeant saying, "I
have taken upon myself to have you brought back, to
inform you that I release yOu, on my own responsi-
bility ; you don't know your duty, There's not another
man in the service that would have done as you
have done. I can tell you that there is a serjeant-sad-
dler made in your place, out with the regiment, and you
can't hold your situation as serjeant-saddler much longer,
for you will have to go to your duty." Serjeant Brodie
expressed his regret, but said, " That (pointing to Web-
ster) was the man he went out to save." The serjeant
was then released. Last Wednesday, however, at about
ten o'clock at night, the regimental serjeant went to
Brodie's room, and informed him that it was his (the ser-
jeant's) duty to place him (Brodie) under arrest, "for
making false statements affecting the character of an
officer." He was accordingly arrested. On the next
morning (Thursday) the serjeant was ushered into the
orderly-room, and the charge read over to him, when
he declined making any statement in answer to it.
He still remains under arrest, but up to yesterday
evening no legal charge or order of court-martial had
been served on him. Serjeant Brodie had been in the
regiment 18 years, and never before been under punish-
ment, or charged with any dereliction of his duty.
With respect to the charge now brought against the
sergeant, his friends represent the following as the real
facts. About five weeks since, Baumgarten represented
that he was in want of money, and trodie offered to get
him some, and subsequently' the watch belonging to the
former was transferred to the possession of the latter,
who advanced 201. on it, as Brodie viewed the matter ;
but it appears, from Bautegartente statement, that he
looked upon the transaction as a bona fide purchase, and
not as a loan. Shortly after, Brodie math ertently told
a Mr. Hullam (the veterinary surg-,on) of the affair, in
confidence, and hence it became known to the officers.
As a proof of the extent of persecution and annoyance
now exercised towards the sergeant, it is stated that
Captain Fitzwygrarn, Lieutenant Hartopp, and Lieu-
tenant Webster have given strict orders that no work
whatever is to be taken to him.

So much for the case of the sergeant; let us now turn
to Cornet Baumgarten. Here is a brief glance at his
experience, since entering the Royal Enniskillen Dra-
goons, also drawn from authentic sources. About a
week or ten days after joining the regiment, while read-
ing in his room with a college friend, the door was burst
open suddenly, the lights extinguished, and three or
four officers entered, one of them with a shovelful of hot
coals, over which was sprinkled some Cayenne pepper.
A. most suffocating vapour was thus produced, and upon
the window being opened by Mr. B umgerten, a quan-
tity of water was thrown in. A few days after that
the room door was again burst open, the drawers con-
taining his linen and regimentals completely filled with
water, and filthy water poured into the ewer. This
treatment led Baumgarten to complain to his own cap-
tain, Fitzwygram, who assure-I him that it should not
occur again, as he (Captain Fitzwygram) would use
his influence to prevent it. A very short time after
that, however, Baumgarten's room door was again
broken open, and three or four officers entered in. Baum-
garten was then in bed, and the place in darkness. His
drawers were all turned over and their contents spread
about the room, while a quantity of broken glass
was thrown upon the bed, as well as water. Baum-
garten jumped out of bed and struck one of the in-
truders in the face, and a fight ensued ; eventually the
officer succeeded in driving his tormentors away. Upon
looking at the room afterwards it presented a perfect
wreck, everything being destroyed that could be broken.
The plume of his helmet was cut to pieces, while the
stable was visited, and the forelock of his charger cut off
close to the skin, the latter bleeding from the operation,
and the animal being deprived of its tail, thus rendered
it valueless for a time as a charger. Baumgarten could
put up with such treatment no longer ; he accordingly,
on the next morning, complained to the acting colonel
M'Queen. That officer began to inquire into the matter
seriously, when Webster, the acting adjutant, made an
apology to the insulted cornet, and promised that if he
would withdraw the charge, he (Webster) would gua-
rantee
that no further annoyances would take place.
Baumgarten, acting upon that promise, withdrew the
complaint. But a few days, however, had elap-ed,
before the annoyances were repeated with greater
violence than ever, seven windows of his room being
broken at once, as well as the looking-glass; a brush
out to pieces and placed in the bed ; a private drawer
broken open, and the manuscripts and papers cast on
the floor ; and on another occasion an improper charac-
ter was pushed into his room and the door fastened, so
that Baumgarten was obliged to let himself out of the
window to the ground, and go round, after the officers
had left, unfasten the door, and send the intruder adrift.
He then complained to Captain Fitzwygram, who pro-
mised to inquire into the matter ; but no apology was
made to the outraged cornet, and the arrangements re-
specting the duel subsequently took place.
Since thataffair oceuireel, Captain Fitzwygram visited
Cornet Baumgarten, and told him eertain conditions that
were required to he complied wiih by him, by the offi-
cers of the mess, and subsequently committed such con-
ditions to writing, and handed the paper to the cornet,
requesting him to sign them, and retire from the service,
or he would be forced to quit the army in disgrace.
These conditions were to the following effect :-Ist. To
state that sufficient grounds had been discovered respect-
ing his early career to induce the officers to treat hiM
with contumely. 2d. That Lord Shaftesbury should, in
the House of Lords, through. an explanation and state-
ment furnished by him (Cornet Baumgarten) make a
retraction of the statement his lordship had made to the
House of Lords, to the effect that " the acts of the offi-
cers towards Baumgarten were filthy and disgusting,
and could not be tolerated among Christian gentlemen,
where the commanding officer was a Christian and a
gentleman." The last condition was, that he (Baum-
garten) should immediately retire from the regiment.
Of course Cornet Baumgarten refused to comply with
such conditions, and there the matter stands now. It
is understood that a full detail of the whole particulars
has been furnished to Lord Shaftesbury and the Hon.
Mr. Stanley, and the public may therefore rest assured
that if the Horse Guards fails to punish such flagrant
acts of injustice and disgusting tom-foolery that have been
displayed towards both the cornet and the sergeant, in a
manner commensurate with their character, the British
legislature will take the matter in its hands, and, we
hope, mete out fair and impartial justice to all parties.
It should be stated that Lieut. Webster has been re-
lieved of his adjutancy, and the colonel has been sum-
moned to town.

It is understood that the services of Mr. T. T. Dela-
saux, solicitor of Canterbury, and Mr. Huddlestone,
barrister of London, have been secured for Sergeant
Brodie, should he be brought to trial. A public meeting
is also to be held in the city in a few days, in his behalf.
