when tife prosecutor,'while in company: with a friend,•
was, while passing through a street .:11 Spitalfields
on his road h.qille, seized from behind anal held round

1 This robbery occurred on the 1 sth inst., when at
an early ;our in the evening the inrosecutor's wife
left the house.,• securing the door, b,lt not the front
parlour window: On returning at 10 o'clock she
perceived the sash
tap and missed the Lox in ques-
tion ; circumstances' ;also tended to she w that the
robbery had but just previously been efft.‘cted, and
about five minutes aft er 10 o'clock, Rouse.. 145 H,
while on duty in Whi.
te,3hapel, met the vrisoner
with the box on his hetta'
hurrying forward. The
account of possession not
being satisfactory., the
thief was taken to the stat,;ela-house.
Mr. Leigh ordered a committal for trial at the
sessions. This class of offence• is again frequent.

aged with WESTMINSTER.—A few days ago John Jen-
kins, a middle-aged man, was chit.
inter-
marrying with Elizabeth Bates, 4s former wife
being then and still living.
The accused was first married on the 29th of
May, 1847, at Triri.ity Church, Bristol, in his own
name, to Jane Bray, and secondly on the 9th of
December, 1855, at Si: Martin's-in-the-Fields, in
the name of John Chapel, to Elizabeth Bates. The
second wife, who knew he wasmarried, led him so
s
wretched a life, according to hi. own account, that
he determined to rid himself of the incumbrance
and undergo the punishment of the law in pre-
ference to being further troubled with her. To
effect this he induced his brother to procure the
certificates of both marriages, give hit n into cus-
tody, and employ a solicitor to prosecntt him, and
he was remanded until yesterday, prelei 'ring con-
finement in the House of Detention to liberation
upon bail; but when he again appeared befbre the
magistrate, it was stated that the ease ,could no
further be proceeded with as both witnesse3 to the
first marrioge were dead, and nobody could ,supply
the defective proof, under which circumstances
Mr. Paynter disztharged him.
Prisoner had no sooner emerged from the d ock
than he was followed' by his second wife, who `vas
in court waiting for him,

SOUTHWARK.—Wm. Ilizrwood, a sullen-look-
ing lad, about 17 years of age, was brought before
Mr. Burcham, charged with stabbitig his mother,
Sarah Harwood, and threatening to rcurder her.
The complainant, a middle-aged respectable-look
ing female, who exhibited a wound on the right side
of the face, said she was sorry to saythe prisoner was
her son, and one of seven children left her by her
husband to maintain. He had a most violent:. tem-
per and was continually in the habit of insulting:
and beating her. On Monday be came home
and commenced abusing her, and when she remon-
strated with him, and begged him to keep quiet,
he snatched up all the crockery within his reach
and threw it at her. He then seized a knife from
the drawer, and flew at her, saying he would mur-
der her. In her endeavour to get away from him,
he stabbed her near the eye. She immediately
came to this court and obtained a warrant.
The prisoner, w,"to seemed much excited, said it
was all lies what that woman had stated. He never
touched her.
Mr. Burcham remarked to him that such conduct
on his part was not at all seemly from a son to a
mother.
Prisoner—Oh, she is a bad one, and will say any-
thing.
Mrs. Harwood here informed his worship that
his conduct was so bad that she could not put up
with it any longer. He actually called her a bad
name and all her children bastards.
Prisoner—And that's true. You know it. I'm
not going to put up with your nonsense.
Mr. Burcham was of opinion that the lad could
not be in his right senses. Here was a respectable
woman bringing up a large family in as careful a
manner as possible, and attaeked in .a shameful
manner by one of her sons. He should remand
him for d week, anal send directions to the gaol for
the medical officer as well as the chaplain to pay
some attention to hint.
The prisoner was led away laughing.
