count accommodation to• day, and 2 per cent. is the

MARLBOROUGH-ST.II3IEL
SERIOUS ASSUALT BY A DISCHARGED SOLDIER,-.-
George Middleditch, who was discharged
yesterday from
the Coldstream Guards, being invalided, was charged with
violently assaulting George Glenny, a corporal of the Cold-
stream Guards, who was unable to attend.
The following certificate was handed to Mr. Tyrwhitt:—
" Regimental Barracks, Vincent-square,
Westminster.
" This is to certify that George Glenny is unable to
attend the court owing to a bad cut on the eye.
"ROBERT FARQUHARSON, ASSist.-Surgeon,
Coldstream Guards."
Mr. Alfred Rutland, of Manor-house, Stockwell Green,
proved that Valle passing a public-house in Green-street,
Leicester-square, seeing the injured man knocked down by
a soldier of the Coldstream Guards, and on getting up
again the prisoner again knocked him down by a severe
blow. Two or three other soldiers were also of the prisoner's
party and attacking the injured man. On his (witness)
interfering, the prisoner said he would smash his head, and
he believed that the injured man would have been killed
but for assistance arriving. The prisoner said it was an
old grudge he owed the corporal.
Richard Maxsin, drill sergeant of the 2d battalion of
Coldstream Guards, said that, on the previous evening,
hearing that a corporal was being ill-used, he went with
eight men to Green-street and gave the prisoner in charge.
The corporal had such a bad cut on his eye that he was
compelled to be taken to the hospital in a cab.
Mr. Tyrwhitt, seeing the prisoner although discharged
from the army was wearing a uniform coat, asked the drill
sergeant what the prisoner was discharged for, and why
he was wearing the coat. _ _

SPORTING-THIS DAY.

The sergeant said the prisoner was invalided and dis-
charged, because he had something the matter with his
neck. The coat, by the military regulations, belonged to
the prisoner.

Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner.
THE WAY MAGISTRATES ARREST PEOPLE IN IRE-
LAND.—Mr. Thomas M• Sheen, gentleman, of Sam's Hotel,
half-past ten last night I was
Strand, was charged with assaulting William Morris, 173 C.
Morris, 173 C, said—About
doing special duty at the London Eldorado Music-hall,
Leicester-square, when I heard the defendant having a
dispute with some one in the hall about the payment of
some brandy. The proprietor told the defendant he would
make him a present of the brandy, and ordered him out of
the place, not wishing to have any disturbance. The de-
fendant left, and when he got to the bottom of the steps he
caused great disorder, said he was " the mayor of Lime-
rick and a magistrate," ands thrusting his fingers down my
stock, called out "I'll arrest you." I requested the defen-
dant not to make any further disturbance, and to leave.
He went a little way and came back and said, "I'll show
you how the magistrates in Ireland arrest people," and
again thrust his fingers down my stock, driving his knuckles
into my throat, hurting me very much, and also hurt my
arm. Defendant was drunk.
Defendant--I am very sorry.

Mr. Tyrwhitt—lt is impossible that I can pass over such
conduct, and you must pay 40s. or 14 days.

WESTMINSTER.

EXTRAORDINARY AFFAIR.—John Cochrane and John
Ryan alias John Connor, two ruffianly-looking fellows and
well known bad characters, were charged with the follow-
ing serious offences. _

Hannah Francis, whose face was much bruised, said she
was a married woman, and lodged in Mermaid's-court,
Chelsea, away from her husband. Last night she was re-
turning home at a quarter past 10, when the prisoners and
several others seized her, and dragged her forcibly into an
empty house in Mermaid's-court, and used her most bru-
tally.
Mr. Paynter—What did they do ?
Prosecutor—They beat me very much, and some of them
held me down while the others endeavoured to commit a
rape upon me.
Mr. Paynter—Which of them attacked you first ?
Prosecutrix—l really don't know ; they held me down
and tried to do it, but 1 kicked so that they did not suc-
ceed. Well, then, I rushed out at 4in the morning.
Mr. Paynter—W hat I Did you remain there six hours r
Prosecutrix—Yes. They would not let me go. I was
held down. They stripped me almost naked, and tore all
my things to pieces. They stole my shawl and all the
money I had on me.
Mr. Paynter—Was this on the ground floor ?
Prosecutrix—Yes, and up stairs too. They dragged me
up and down stairs by legs and feet and the hair of the
head. I was used most brutally.
Police constable Alleley, 194 B, said—l met this woman
at fottr this morning in Turk's-row. Her clothes were
torn all to pieces, and she complained of having been as-
saulted and robbed.

Mr. Paynter—Was she sober ?
Constable—Yes, your worship.
Mr. Paynter—What did she tell you?
Constable—She told me that they had kept her all night,
and all had connection with her. Sho pointed out the
premises, and gave them into custody.
Mr. Paynter—You are quite certain she told you what
you have stated.

Constable—Quite certain.
Mr. Paynter—lt's a very extraordinary affair. Did you
pass the place on your beat ?
Constable—Several times. Prosecutrix told me that
every time I passed she heard me, and tried to call out, but
they covered her mouth over and threatened to murder her.
Both prisoners denied the charge.
Dr. Edward Lowe Webb, of St. George's-road, Pimlico,
was then called, and in answer to Mr. Paynter's inquiries,
said he saw the woman at half-past four. She complained
of tenderness about the body. He examined her. There
were no marks of violence upon her; but she was a mar-
ried woman and had had children. There was a little ten-
derness, perhaps, and a swelling, but nothing more. She
had a bruise upon her arm, and several bruises upon the
face.

Mr. Paynter having repeated that this
was 9 most extra-
ordinary caul, remanded the prisoners till Tuesday next.

SOUTHWARK.
ATTEMPTING TO PICK A POCICET. Richard Johnson, 8
shabbily dressed young man, was charged with attempting
to pick pockets in the Borough last night.
Alfred Hitchcock said that about ten o'clock last night he
was walking up Union-street, when he felt a hand in his
coat pocket, and turning round saw the prisoner with his
handkerchief in his hand, which he had partially drawn out
of his pocket. On being discovered the prisoner ran away,
but he immediately followed him, and two policemen com-
ing up at the time he gave him into charge. Another man
appeared to be in company with the prisoner at the time he
attempted to steal the handkerchief, but he was unable to
identify him, so that the police had no means of apprehend-
ing him.

Police-constable 503 A, said that about ten o'clock last
night the complainant told him that a man had attempted
to pick his pocket and pointed out the prisoner as the per-
son. He took him to the station, and on searching him he
found three kid gloves.
The prisoner, in reply to the magistrate, said that he was
a brush maker employed in the New Cut, and that the
gloves were his own property. He said the complainant
was mistaken with regard to him, but he assigned no
reason for running down the street when there was a cry
of " stop thief."

503 A, said that ha knew him to be the associate of a
gang of thieves who loiter about Gravel-lane and the
neighbourhood.

The Magistrate said as no previous conviction had been
proved against the prisoner, notwithstanding his acquaint-
ance with thieves, he would only sentence him to two
months hard labour.

CITY SEWERS CO3I3IISSION.—At the weekly meet- '
ing of the Commissioners of Sewers held yesterday, at 1
Guildhall, Mr. De Jersey in the chair, Dr. Letheby, the
medical officer, reported on the state of 178 houses that had
been inspected during the week, and he submitted a list of
77 places for sanitary improvement. He likewise reported
that the markets and slaughterhouses had been duly in-
spected during the week, and that the officers had seized
7,263 lbs. of moat, and 1,217 head of game and poultry as
unfit for food ; 1,378 lbs. of the meat were diseased, and the
rest, as well as the game and poultry, were putrid. 52 births
and 43 deaths were registered during the week. The num-
ber of deaths is greatly below the average for the season
(52) ; 17 of the deaths were among children of less than five
years of ago, and seven among old persons of 60 and up-
wards. The chief causes of death were as follows :
Phthisis, 6 ; mesenteric disease and scrofula, 4 ; hydroce-
phalus, 2; bronchitis, 2 ; continued fever, 2 ; scarlet fever,
4 ; measles, 3; diphtheria, 1; dysentery, 1; and infantile
diarrhoea, 2; making together 12 deaths from tubercular
diseases; 2 from inflammatory affections of the lungs; and
11 from diseases of zymotic character.
SAN FRANCISCO (PERNAMBUCO) RAILWAY.—At
the half-yearly meeting yesterday of the Recife and San
Francisco (Pernambuco) Company, Mr. R. Benson in the
chair, the report of tho directors was unanimously carried.
The traffic receipts for the half-year were £17,959 7s. 3d.,
against £17,311 14s. 2d. in the corresponding period of
1861. The result of the committee's deliberation upon the
i reports of the English and Brazilian Commissioners had
not yet been received. The extension of the line into the
town of Recife still continued to be greatly desired by the
inhabitants, and the directors were in hopes that as soon as
the present line is completed the Imperial Government
would concur in this extension, and in providing rolling
stock adequate to the requirements of the district traversed
by the railway, to which the directors had repeatedly drawn
attention.
i
1 A MAN FOUND DEAD.—On Saturday, a man was
found dying in the township of Lupton, near Burton,
I Westmoreland, and he died soon afterwards. He was of

of age, and his hair was grey In his pocket was found a
