Mr. Sleigh, who appeared for the prisoner, said he
thought it would be needlessly occupying the time of
the court if he were to make any observations. He
could not struggle against the facts that had just been
stated in evidence.

The Assistant-jtulge said he found that there were no
less than nine former convictions against the prisoner.
The fir# was in 1850, when he was then 13 years of
age, and now he was again before him at the age of 18.
He thought the presht system of treating convicted pri-
soners was utterly wrong. Under all the circumstances
be shonld sentence the prisoner to four yeari' penal
servitude.

j umped over into the compartment, and handled him
very roughly. Witness and Richards got over and pre-
vented them from committing any further injury, and
on the arrival at the London-bridge Terminus he took
them into custody. The prisoners were extremely vio-
lent, and were with difficulty restrained.
In answer to the charge, the prisoners said they bad
drank a little beer before they left Sydenham among
their fellow-labourers, several of whom were about to
leave for the Crimea, but they did not intend to insult
or injure any one.
Mr. A'Beckett said that their conduct was very dis-
graceful, and be should fine each of them 303., or twenty-
one days' imprisonment, with hard labour.
