GROSS CRUELTY TO A PONY.—Robert Gibson, a labour-
ing man, living in 'Taylor's buildings, Saint Martin's,
appeared to answer a charge at the instance of Mr. Win.
Love, chief officer of the Royal Society for the Protection
of Cruelty to Animals, of cruelty to a pony.
From the evidence of Simeon Sell, one of the officers of
the Royal Society, it appeared that he saw the defendant
driving the puny in a heavy cart, and on examining the
pony, which was in a moat wretched condition, he found
some large wounds on the blade bone of the n-ar shoulder,
one of the wounds having a hole in it large enough to admit
an egg. On speaking to the defendant about the conditi,
of the pony he said that he had only had it a short time, and
that he had been employed by a man to cart half a ton of
coals for him.

The pony was brought to the front of the court for the
magistrate's inspection, and its appearance fully bore out
the officer's statement—it was in the most pitiable state,
and seemed to be half starved.

The defendant said he was willing to have the pony de-
stroyed.
Mr. Tyrwhitt, after making some severe remarks on the
defendant's conduct in working a pony in such a state, said
that on condition that the pony was at once put out of its
misery he should only fine the defendant 10s. or 14 days.
The /army was token by the Society's officer to be
slaughtered.

COMMITTAL WITHOUT A FINE.—ALLEGED ADULTERY.
—Daniel Spencer, a rough fellow, was charged before Mr.
Tyrwhitt with assaulting Mary Ann Ince, at 10, Rebecca-
court, Marylebone.
From the evidence of the complainant, a young widow, it
appeared that on the previous evening she went with her
father to the house in Rebecca-court—her father going to
claim some articles belonging to him, which had been taken
away by his wife, who had left him —when the prisoner,
who was sitting in the room, knocked her down, knocked
out one of her teeth, and pulled out a knife and threatened
to kill her.

A low-looking fellow here interrupted the proceedings
and was put out of court, the complainant stating that he
had also threatened her and her father.

William Lovel, of 8, Star-street, Commercial-road, said
that his wife having ran away from him and taken several
things with her, he went to look for them, and found them
in a room in Rebecca-court, where the prisoner and his
wife were together. The prisoner knocked him down first,
and then his daughter, who had a child in her arms at the
time.

The prisoner said he had a witness to call.
A women here got into thq witness box, and said she
was the wife of Lovel. Her husband came in and asked
for some things, and the " young man" was at the time
toasting some bread. He, husb end then pull-d the " young
man's" hair, and her daughter fell on the fender and hurt
herself, but she was quite sure the "young man" did not
strike her, as the "young man" would not do such a
thing,
Mr T: twhitt said he did not believe a word the last
witness had said. She had every reason to support the
prisoner against her husband. should commit the pri•
soner for one month, without a fine, for the assault on the
fern de, and order him to pay 205., or a month, for the
assault on the husband.

The woman Lovel seamed very disconsolate at finding
the " young man" was going to prison.

EXTENSIVE ROB nERIES BY A SELVANT.—Stephen
Playle, a w.ifer, was placed at the bar, charged with r.,b
biug his master, Mr. John Hunt, of a very valuable breast
pin, and also with stealing from Joseph Watling a watch
and Albert chain, a purse containing money, and a quantity
of wearing apparel.
Mr. Hunt sa d that he was proprietor of some dining-
rooms in Grosvenor-row, Pimlico, and the prisoner had
been in hi. service for the last three or four months. On
Sunday morning week all the doors of the house were
found open, and it was discovered that the prisoner hai
absconded. Prosecutor then discovered that the pin had
been taken from his scarf.

Joseph Watlingford, fellow-servant to the prisoner,
said they slept t'gether. On the night of Saturday week
they went to bed late, and prisoner saw him winding
up his watch, and inquired of him whether it went well, to
which he replied in the affirmative. Witness then locked
his watch and chain up in his box and put the key in his
pocket, and then went to bed. Next morning the box
was found open and the loss cf Mr. Hunt's pin discovered,
and then witness missed his property. The key of the box
was found in witness's pocket, where he had left it.
Mr. Arnold asked where the prisoner was taken ?
Police-sergeant 14 B said he apprehended him in the
country, at his native place, and at his father's house, where
he had found part of the stolen property. In the course of
inquiries, it was ascertained that prisoner had been seen
there with a watch and guard chain.
He was remanded.
