CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY
OLD COURT.

(Before Baron MARTIN awl Mr. Justice CROMPTON.)
The second edition of the calendar, published this
morning, contains the names of 130 prisoners, being
18 more than appeared in the first edition.
A FRAUDULENT BANKRUPT.—A respectably-dressed
Young man, named Richard Cross, aged 31, and de-
scribed as a watchmaker, was placed at the tar, charged
With misdemeanour.
Mr. Clarkson appeared for the prosecution, and Mr.
Bodkin for the defence.
The indictment charged the prisoner with having
fraudulently obtained goods within three months of his
bankruwcy, by falsely representing that he was
still carrying on business in the ordinary way, and of
sound credit.

At first the prisoner pleaded not guilty; but, by
the advice of his counsel, he withdrew that plea, and
substituted for it the plea of guilty.
Mr. BODKIN said his client certainly had no fraudu-
lent intentions when he obtained the goods. He in-
tended to have taken them abroad, in the hope of being
We to dispose of them to advantage, and to pay his
creditor the full amount of their value; but he was
bound to admit that this intention he wholly with-
held from the creditor at the time he obtained the
goods.

, Mr. CLARKSON said this prosecution had been ordered
by the Commissioners of Bankruptcy, and the offence
of which the prisoner was charged was a very serious
one. The fraudulent act of bankruptcy of which he
Wes charged consisted of having obtained from a Mr.
Lucien Marchand 60 gold and 24 silver watches, under
the pretence that he wanted them in the ordinary course
of business; but so far from that being the case, he had
,alten his passage for Australia, and sailed the next day
to the Queen of the South for the Cape, where he was
afterwards apprehended. The prisoner had carried on
the business of a jeweller in Southampton, and up to the
12th of last June he kept his shop open in the usual
manner. The next day, however, it was ascertained
that, he had " bolted," carrying with him every thing
lett the shop contained, besides the watches in question;
ut his ereditors, having some clue to his retreat, dis-
P, etched a detective officer after him, and before be had
been five hours at the Cape he was in custody on the
Present charge.
Baron MARTIN asked if the prperty had been re-
covered.
Mr. CLeassoN replied in the affirmative. The watches
eWere found upon his person when he was arrested, and
'Lla stock in trade on board the Queen of the South.
. Baron MARTIN, in passing sentence upon the prisoner,
fold him that many a man had been transported for a
e 8 Offence than this. The prisoner, in point of fact, had
been guilty of a robbery in every sense of the term, and
of the worst character, but the law only provided a
punishment of two years' imprisonment for the offence.
The Court, however, in the hope that this would be a
;Yarning to him for the future, would abstain from pass-
ing the severest sentence allowed by the law, and there-
fore the judgment of the Court was that he be imprisoned
'bu kept to hard labour for the space of 18 calendar
khths.
The prisoner was then removed.
CUTTING AND WOUNDING.— Thomas Henry Knight,
:Red 50, described as a watch finisher, was indicted for
feloniously and maliciously stabbing and wounding Mary
Ann Knight, with intent to murder her. The -prisoner
Pleaded not guilty.
Mr. Ryland appeared for the prosecution. The pri-
toner was not defended by counsel.
tuhiaarn,
ydAnn Knight stated that the prisoner was her
sb
and they had lived together at es lodging in St.
Pancras. On the night of the 16th of August last they
h tired to rest as usual about eleven o'clock at night,
tut they had not been in bed more than an hour before
t:e prisoner got up and said, he must pray, for he had
ePed a warning and had not an hour to live. He an-
ti Niegly fell upon his knees and began praying for some
toille, but in a very rambliug.strain, and she induced him
eeole to bed again. About two o'clock in the morn-
itß he was takea in the same way a second time and
As sled upon her getting up, although he knew that she
suffering from rheumatics and little able to do so.
Struggled out of bed however with some difficulty,
head with an iron bill.
fib"' then he struck her upon the
e ra
k out on to the landing and he followed her with
shotille Ni his hand, and stabbed her between the
ashiders. She had no knowledge of what occurred
keards, for she became insensible, and when she
again she found herself in the hospital.
w't-nron MARTIN—Hes he ever assaulted you before.
kele—eas—No, nothing more than what's usual 'atweea
li:tnd wife.
itttita.r°ll MARTIN—Then this was the first time he
(10 e-ed You? Witness—Not desactly, but ho did not
A 0 harm afore.
tolt lodger in the same house proved that he went
kef„erpeue of the proseoutrix, and found her bleeding
thea'kelY from a wound in the back; while a medical
seat: Poke to the nature of .the wound, which he repre-
to have been a very serious one, and one which
t
ip~hhave resulted in fatal consuences.
e prisoner, in his defence, denied that he had any
beet:,l°o of murdering his wife, but the fact was he had
%eat: °o the drink" for a fortnight before the night in
keit. leo, and he was not in his senses when he used the
he th Somebody appeared to him just before, at least
the tought so, .and as he believed in the warning" at
iltlao D3..8e, he assaulted his wife while in a state of total
tarscittness.
inllty, 00 MARTIN briefly summed up the case, and the
11iltv'w ofithout hesitation, at once found the prisoner
