CROWN COURT.

ROBBERY AND VIOLATION._ john Gage, aged 26, a
fine-looking young man, a private in the 15th Hussars, was
Indicted for assaulting Rebecca Eliza Sharp, and taking
from her person, against her will, a pocket memorandum-
book, two sixpences, lour half-pence, and a ribbon, the
property of William Sharp, and at the time of such
robbery using personal violence ; another indictment
charged the prisoner with a capital offence.
Mr. CLARKSON stated the case for the prosecution,
which he said was one of atrocious cruelty. From the
evidence, the truth of his assertion was but too evident.
It appeared that he had violated her person—kicked her
in various parts of the body, bit her finger—struck her in
the face, robbed her of her money, and then left her by the
way side in a state of insensibility.
The CHIEF JUSTICE having summed up,
The Jury consulted for three minutes, and returned a
verdict of Guilty.
His LORDSIIIP said he fully concurred in the decision of
the Jury, and told the prisoner that his offence was one of
great atrocity, and his conduct had been such as was de-
grading to the sex and the species to which he belonged.
Without further comment the Court did order and adjudge
that he be transported beyond the seas for the term of his
natural life.

The prisoner, who is a fine handsome young man, ap-
peared astounded when he heard the terms of his sentence.

EXPLOSION AT A FIREWORK MAKERS.--
Yesterday morning, between 10 and 11 o'clock, an explo-
sion of fireworks occurred at the manufactory of Mr.
Cameron, in the Westminster-road, who was imprudently
sealing a letter near some of the combustibles, when a
spark from the candle ignited thorn. He was very
seriously injured, and the premises were set on fire, but,
by the speedy arrival of the engines, the flames were ex-
tinguished.
