MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

John Capel, Esq., yesterday summoned James 214-oore be.
."ore Messrs. CONANT and HALL for furious driving.

Mr. Capel was in a phaeton with a friend on Sunday, and
when near Hyde Park Corner the defendant, who was
driving one of Sibley's Ham omnibuses, and racing with a
Kew omnibus, ran the hind part of his vehicle against the
hind wheels of the phaeton, and tore them completely away.
It was fortunate for complainant and his friend that the
phaeton was constructed without a pole, otherwise, in all
probability, the most serious consequences would have
occurred.
In defence, the driver said the hind wheels of his omni-
bus " skidded" as he was passing the other omnibus, and the
accident was thus occasioned.
Mr. HALL remarked that there was at present more
racing between the omnibuses than ever.
Mr. CONANT said the practice had been quite prevalent
lately. He was passing down the Richmond road, and he
saw an omnibus come in collision with a cart. The omnibus
pulled both cart and horse along with it for some dissance,
and finally threw both over.
The fine of l Os. and costs was inflicted.

Robert Holmes, footman to H. Cummins, Esq., of East
Hill, Wandsworth, was yesterday placed at the bar, cliargcd
with stealing a silver watch, the property of Mrs. Anne
Harris, residing at No. 28, Charles-street, Westminster.

,t

The prisoner was desired to attend the carriage to Gi.,2.3
George-street, where his mistress alighted to pay a visit.
During the interval he went to the prOsecutrix's, whom he
slightly knew, and, under the pretence of wanting
of
. water, stole the watch. Information was immediately
given to Sergeant Martin and he despatched a man to
Wandsworth, so that ho should arrive before the carriage!
On the vehicle driving up to the door the prisoner handed
the ladies out and was about to mount the bog, when the
constable searched him and found in his waistcoat pocket
the watch that had been stolen, and in his fob pocket an-
other watch that he was in the habit of wearing, and about
81. in money. a glass
Prisoner in defence said he went in, saw the watch, took
it up to see what the time was, thought it was his own, and
put it in his pocket. He was fully committed for trial.

Yesterday Francis Saunders, a dairyman, residing at
No. 63, Market-street, Paddington, was placed at the bard
before Mr. RAWLINSON and 'Lord MotiTFoan, charge,
with having, while in a state of intoxication, and through
furious and negligent driving, knocked down and run over
t
Mrs. Ann Henry, an elderly lady at present staying a,
Webb's Hotel, Piccadilly,. and whO,, from the injury infheteu
on her, is still confined to her bed.

UNION-HALL.
Yesterday a young man named Wilkins was brought "P
by the master of St. George's workhouse, Southwark,
charged with refusing to maintain his wife, and leaving her
chargeable to the parish.
Mr. WEDGWOOD asked the defendant what his grounds
were for supposing that he was absolved from the sup Pert,
of his wife ?—The defendant, in reply, said that she had
formed an improper intimacy with another man, and that on
the discovery he left her, considering that she had no fur-
ther claim upon him as a husband. ite
Mr. WEDGWOOD—What proof have you that your
has committed adultery ? Defendant—A man nara(
Owen I believe is present who can prove the fact.
The Magistrate directed the person to be called ; but it
appeared that he was not in the office, and defendant sat
ing that he supposed his witness was compelled to go toll°
work, the Magistrate said that he must be under the jne-
cessity of committing the defendant for three months to BO"
Defendant (with surprise)—What, for not supporting
an
adultress ?

Mr. WEDGWOOD said that he had brought forward ro
proof whatever to criminate his wife in such a charge.
The defendant said th at if a short time were allowed for
that purpose he would be in a condition to prove the accu-
sation against his wife.
Mr. WEDGWOOD said that the defendant, being without
the necessary proof, he must therefore go to gaol for three
months, and that when he came out he must support his wife:.
Dcfendant—lf I am committed for treble the
time I shall not support a woman that I know has been
falsa to me. I'll support the child, although I have some
doubts whether it is mine ; but, as for her, rot in o°l
before I do so. length ot

The defendant was thm ordered to 13.1 locked up.

THAMES OFFICE.

Yesterday three children, ill clad and badly fed, as far
appearances went, named Jane Davis and Sarah Davis
(sisters), and Sarah Chambe) s, the eldest not more thso
thirteen years of age, were put into the dock, before I!!r. s
BALLANTINE, on a charge of stea:inic a necklace 011
child's neck, stated by the parents to be worth Bs. 6d.
The children have all been in custody before, and Saran
Davis was some time ago sent to the Old Bailey ea,
charge of felony, and convicted, when, on account of hell',
tender years, she escaped with a slight punishment, whit' e
however, failed in reforming her, for she has ever sinc_
been a leader of a party of little pilferers. A fortnight ago
she was put to the bar, with her sister, who is two Years
younger than herself, on a charge of stealing a pillow enc._
quilt, when, owing to the reluctance of the parties to pros
secute such children, the Magistrate delivered them e
their parents. On this occasion it.vvas given in evidence
that Jane Davis and Sarah Chambers took the neel""lace
from a child d 5 it was sitting at its mother's door, and ran
away with it. The robbery was observed by several other
children, and when two girls were taken into custody by
Reuben Webb, a policeman, they said they would tell, all
about it, and related that they had given it to the eleiesci
girl, Sarah Chambers, who, on being taken,
said she had
pawned the necklace and sold the duplicate.
A smartly-dressed woman, who keeps a broker's and
marine store shop, said she gave the girl 6d. for the doPII-
- of the beads, and immediately afterwards a wern,a9
came into her shop who said she just wanted such a 6;n',
as the necklace, and she (the witness) disposed of the au-
plicate again for the same money as she gave for it.
Mr. BALLANTINE—How lucky it was that a wall"
should come Into your shop who wanted to purchases nec-
lace directly after you purchased the ticket!
The marine-store dealer—Yes, Sir, it was indeed• h
did not buy it knowing it was stolen ; I would not do sue"
a thing.

Mr. BALLANTINE--Oh, no ; none of you people do.
The marine-store dealer—No, Sir, I have a child of DIY,
own ; I would not buy stolen property a other children n
I knew it.
Mr. RAWLINSON—HoId your tongue, woman. I wish
one-half of you were hanged. Hire is a system—that
child pledges the stolen necklace at a pawnbroker's shot/
and then sells the duplicate at a marine-store shop!
Police Sergeant Shepherd, No. 22 K, said the children
were common pilferers.
Mr. BALLANTINE said here were three children before him
who were thieves, and could anything be more dreadful
He was
called
to put the law in force, and must do it•
He sentenced the girl to three months:imprisonment and
hard
labour, as reputed thieves, going about with intent t°
commit felony.
The children no sooner heard the sentence than they
began screaming and crying in a most piteous to2nnert'
T and throwing themselves on their knees called on

policeman had great difficulty in removing them, and on be-
ginning,
to use force, Mr. Ballantine said, Don't hurt them
—pray don't."
