CRIMINAL COURT.---This Day.

This morning the June session of the Central Criminal
Court was opened, there being present the Lord Mayor, the
Recorder, Alderman and Sheriff Besley, Alderman Sir F. G.
Moon, Alderman Lusk, Alderman Gibbons, &c.
The Recorder delivered a brief charge to the grand jury,
of whom Mr. Charles Westerton, of Knightsbridge, was
foreman. He said there were in the calendar nine cases in
volving the loss of human life, but none of wilful murder.
He went rapidly through the evidence bearing on the cases,
and added that none of them called for any special remark.
There was one case of will
_forgery, but the jury he thought
would have no difficulty with regard to it.
The case of the Messrs. Barry is likely to last several
days.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

PLATE ROBBERY AT A CLERGYMAN'S.—George Andrews,
general servant to the Rev. Henry Howarth, rector of St.
George's, Hanover-square, was brought before Mr. Mans-
field by Davidson, 301 K, charged with stealing a quantity
of plate, of the value of £6O or £7O, the property of his
master.

The Rev. Henry Howarth, residing at 15, Lower Gros-
venor-street, said the prisoner was formerly in his service
as general servant. On the morning of the 17th January
on coming down stairs he found the breakfast table was
not laid out. He then made inquiries and found from the
other servants that the Prisoner had gone out. He after-
wards, as the prisoner did not return, opened a cupboard
and found' the plate basket empty. On going into his
library he found that the lock of a circular table in which he
kept loose money had been forced open and a pair of court
buckles taken away. Two coats and other articles were
also missed.

In answer to Mr. Mansfield, the prosecutor said the
plate was silver, and consisted of articles of the usual kind.
He had a good character with the prisoner. None of the
property had been recovered.

Dawson, 301 A, said he found two duplicates on the pri-
soner, relating to the coats stolen,
Mr. Mansfield remanded the prisoner.

MURDEROUS ASSAULT.—Frederick Wray, described as a
general dealer of 11, George-street, St. Giles, was charged
before Mr. Mansfield with violently assaulting and wound-
ing Charles Robbins, a constable of the E Division, with a
life preserver, with intent to do him some grievous bodily
harm.

Sergeant John Clifford, of the E Division, said the pri-
soner was charged with violently assaulting police con-
stable Robbins, 94 E, who was unable to attend.
The sergeant handed Mr. Mansfield a certificate from
Dr. Ross, the medical officer to the E Division, to the effect
that Robbins was unable to attend, owing to the serious

injury he had received. The sergeant said the assault was
committed with a life-preserver, which was taken from the
prisoner. The constable was removing some disorderly
women when the prisoner came up, and, without saying a
word, struck him a violent blow with the life-preserver---
the effect of it being that the bone above the eye was
broken.

Mr. Mansfield asked the sergeant whether he knew the
prisoner.

The sergeant said he was a ticket-of-leave man.
Mr. Mansfield remanded the prisoner, and said if the
evidence warranted it he should send the prisoner for trial

WESTMINSTER.
