From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner went up
to the prosecutor and asked for some beans her husband
had purchased of him; he said he did not know anything
of the matter, and told her to go away. She refused, and
he pushed her very slightly away. No sooner had he
done so than she "pitched into" him right and left, and he
had to call a constable to take her into custody.
The prisoner, denied the charge, and said the com-
plainant struck her first.

Some witnesses having been examined,
Mr. Flower sentenced her to pay a fine of 55., or four
days' imprisonment.

The prisoner—l won't pay, and I won't go to prison,
Can't you reduce the fine ; come, say half-a-crown.
(Laughter.)

The magistrate refused the request of the prisoner, and
she was locked up, exclaiming against the injustice of her
sentence.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

SYSTEMATIC UTTERING OF COUNTERFEIT COlN.—William
Hambleton, of 15, Broad-street, Woolwich, and Catherine
Babb, of 18, Newton-street, Holborn, charwoman, were
brought before Mr. Knox, charged with knowingly uttering
a counterfeit shilling to Eliza Mudd, barmaid to Mr. Alfred
Pamphillon, of Pamphillon's Restaurant, Argyle-street,
Regent-street, and a second counterfeit shilling to Ellen
Kennett, barmaid to Mr. Robert Hamlin, of the Pantheon
Restaurant, Oxford-street.

The shilling.uttered by the male prisoner at Mr. Pamphil-
lon's being bad, the proprietor followed him and saw him
joined by the female prisoner, and afterwards leave her and
go into the Pantheon Restaurant, and having ascertained
that he had tendered a bad shilling there, leaving the liquor
he had called for behind, and hastily leaving with the
change, Mr. Pamphillon followed the prisoners and gave
them into custody.

Boden, one of the officers of the court, said the male
pris • oner had been charged before with a similar offence,
but discharged.

Mr. Knox remanded the prisoners, that the Mint autho•
rities may be communicated with.

The prosecutor was a ship carpenter. He was in Rat-
cliff Highway on Wednesday morning last, at half-past 10
o'clock, and stopped to look at a fight between two women.
The prisoner, who was close to him, began to draw his
watch and gold chain from his pocket, and then suddenly
made a snatch at the watch and ran away with it. The
Italian caught the prisoner by the neek and grasped him
tightly. The prisoner struck the Italian on the breast
and knocked him down. The prisoner then ran away
with the watch and chain. He was pursued by another
Italian and captured. The watch and chain, worth £9 10s.,
were recovered.
B. Argingo, a Spaniard, confirmed the evidence of the
Italian.
In the cross-examination of the witnesses by the pri-
soner, it was elicited that the prisoner tore the prosecutor's
waistcoat in dragging the chain and watch from him.
The prisoner said he was nearly killed by the foreigners,
who dragged him into as oyster shop and all but pulled
his head off.
Davy, a police-sergeant, No. 3 H, said there was a long
list of convictions against the prisoner.
Mr. Paget disposed of the case summarily on a plea of
guilty, and sentenced the prisoner to six months' imprison..
ment and hard labour.

WESTMINSTER.
EXTRAORDINARY AFFAIR.—EIIen Allen, a • woman
ashionably-attired, about 30 years of age, was placed at
he bar charged with obtaining £1 10s. under false pre-
tences.

Mr. John Wray, 57, Cambridge-street, Pimlico, grocer
and oilman, said, that on Thursday week the prisoner
came to his shop and asked him if he would oblige her
with change for a cheque for £lO 10s., as her husband was
going into the country and wanted cash. He at first
demurred, stating that he was unacquainted with her, and
she then told him that she was an old customer in the
habit of sending to his shop, and was a housekeeper, re-
siding at 23, Sutherland-street, Pimlico. He gave her
two £5 notes and 10s., and she went away. He paid the
cheque to one of his tradesmen, and it was subsequently
returned marked "No effects." Prosecutor went to 23,
Sutherland-street, and found that prisoner was not known
there. He subsequently traced her to 22, Warwick-place,
when she said that he would be paid the money if he took
the cheque to Mr. Howard, 1, Air-street, Piccadilly, in
whose favour it was drawn. He went there, but Mr.
Howard, who had offices there, was not in the way.
Mr. Arnold—How do you know that she obtained the
money fraudulently ? What was there fraudulent in her
behaviour ?
Prosecutor—She gave a false address, and also that she
was a housekeeper.
Prisoner—He makes a mistake. I said "33, Sutherland-
street," where I lodged.
Prosecutor—She did live there, but is not living with
her husband. I parted with my money upon the faith of
this being a good cheque, and when I went to the bank-
ing house, Prescott and Co., they said they had had many
such—and I also believed that she kept the house.
Mr. Arnold was about to remand her, when it was stated
that Mr. Howard wished to give evidence.
Mr. Howard, of 1, Air-street, said he had received the
cheque from Mr. Ivanhoff, from whom he had had others
duly honoured. He gave it to prisoner to get changed, as
he was short of cash, on the occasion of a visit to her. He
had not the least suspicion that there would be any trouble
about it, and he was now prepared to take the cheque up.
Mr. Arnold said, under these circumstances, he should
discharge the prisoner.
Mr. Wray received his money.

SOUTHWARK.
PICKMG POCKETS.—ThomasJones, aged 15, was charged
before Mr. Burcham, this day, with stealing a handker-
chief, value 35., the property of Mr. G. F. Pollock, one of
the masters of the Court of Exchequer.
Mr. Pollock said that yesterday afternoon, about ten
minutes past five o'clock, he was passing by Cross-street,
near Christ Church, Blacktriars-road, when he put his
hand in his pocket and discovered that his handkerchief,
which he had used only a few minutes before, was gone.
He saw the prisoner and another boy walking before him,
and he followed them, being convinced that one of them must
be the thief, no other persons being near him at the time.
He threw his arms round them both, and said, "I'll trouble
you for my handkerchief." (A laugh.) The prisoner then
handed the handkerchief to the other boy, who threw it
down, and, while he was stooping to pick it up, the latter
succeeded in escaping from him.
The prisoner strongly protested his innocence, asserting
that it was his companion who took the handkerchief from
the " gent's" pocket.
Mr. Burcham remanded the prisoner till Tuesday next,
in order that inquiries might be made respecting him.
ARREST OF A COlNER.—Edmund Webb, a shabbily
dressed man, apparently about 40, was chargedwith having
in his possession several pieces of counterfeit coin and im-
plements for coining.
James Bradnen said that he was occasionally employed
by the authorities of the Mint, and from information which
he received he went this morning about half past six, ac-
companied by Inspector Raymond and other policemen, to
the house No. 57, Kent-street. He and the policemen
went upstairs, and found the prisoner in a room. He said
" You are suspected of coining, and I have got a warrant
for your apprehension." The prisoner replied, " All right
—you will find what you want here." On searching the
room he found two plaster of Paris mould; one for
casting florins and the other for shillings ; also, a
ladle, which stood on a table before the grate. The police,
on searching the house, discovered several bottles con-
taining acid, and a wire which had been dipped in solution,
which was used for the purpose of suspending the coin
while it was undergoing the process of coating. The
police found 37 counterfeit sixpences and 3 florins, which
had been rubbed with a mixture of lampblack and grease
to give them a dull appearance.
The implements specified and some others were pro-
duced.

The prisoner, who made no defence, was then remanded
until Friday next.

FOUNDATION OF A NEW CATHOLIC CHURCH BY
ARCHBISHOP MANNlNG.—Yesterday Dr. Manning,
Catholic Archbishop of Westminster, laid the foundation
stone of a new Catholic church at Brentford. The cere-
mony was carried out with great grandeur, and performed
in the presence of an immense number of persons. The
Archbishop wore his archiepiscopal robes and the mitre, and
carried in his hand the crosier. After the usual prayers
and chants, the stone was lowered to its place, and the
Archbishop having marked the sign of the cross upon it in
several places and sprinkled it with holy water, offered tip
a prayer in Latin that the building which was that day
founded should render good service to the Church. The
building is be Gothic, and of ornamental brick.—Post.
