CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

OLD COURT.
John Edwards, aged 36, was indicted for the mat'
slaughter of Leonard Coleman on the 30th of January.
Andrew Mayne—Between eleven and twelve o'clock oa
the night of the 30th of January I was in the Emperor om'
nibus, driven by the prisoner, at the Angel Inn, Islington;
We stopped there nearly two minutes, and the Dart, anothea
omnibus, came up. The conductors of the two carriages hae
an altercation, after which they drove on at a good Poet
until they arrived at Penton-street, when the EniPer°
pulled up to set down a passenger. This having been doneg
the omnibus again went on at the rate of about ten milej
an hour down Pentonville-hill, and after we had proceed'
about a hundred yards I felt the near fore-wheel lifted 1113,
and the glass on the same side was directly broken. ,
Stephen Delabatouche—l saw the two carriages ge'nt''e
from the Angel. They were going at a very rap ra t
near the middle of the road. They were nearly abrgas:e
After the carriages had passed Penton-street I saw a 1101'
standing in the middle of the road, and the deceased lY1!4,1
close by. I ran and picked him up, and he was carrle‘'
immediately to the house of a surgeon, from whence he sc3sl.
subsequently conveyed to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, wit"
his skull fractured.
By the COURT—There was room for a person on horse'
back to pass between the omnibuses when I saw them, be-
fore the accident occurred.
Richard Everard—l saw the deceased going up the hill
on the night in question on horseback at a full gallop. To
deceased might have avoided the carriages by going
~en
either side, but he did not, and I saw him fall from I')s
horse between them.

The Jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty.
Henry Stanton, who described himself as a surgeon, 'O5
indicted for stealing three watches, value 301., the ptoperti
of James Stafford, of Gainsford-street,
There were three other indictments against him ; but
01
was not considered necessary to proceed with them, tie
offence. of which he was convicted subjecting him to trans-
portation for life.
A female residing at Chelsea then applied to the Court'
and said that one of the indictments had been preferred by
her against the prisoner for stealing a 101. note. ,
The prisoner, it will be recollected, took lodgings at t
female's house, and had promised to marry her ster
daughter, but he decamped with the note. She was d,
vised to apply to a solicitor.

NEW COURT.
Captain Peter Thomas Tadman was indicted for stet
ing a cabriolet, value 501., the property of William Jo
Felton.—The Jury found the prisoner Guilty.
The prisoner was then tried upon a second indictreee:
for stealing a phaeton, value 841., the propert of the sel
prosecutor. A verdict of Guilty was also pronounced t,
0,
this case, and the Court sentenced the prisoner to be trP,
ported for seven years upon each indictment, making feat
teen years. The prisoner then bowed and withdrew.
