LAMBETH.

Theodore Windley, Camden.street, Wal worth,
broker; G. Turvey, 4, Boundary-lane, Camberwell,
broker ; Thompson, 2, Surrey-buildings, uphols-
terer; Thomas Thompson, ditto; George Turvey, the
younger ; and Richard Vincent, 13, Alfred-street,
Peckham, were placed at the bar before Mr. Seeker
(who sat for Mr. Elliott), on a charge of stealing
from a farm, in South Parrott, Dorsetshire, eleven
cows, of the value of 1001., the property of Mr. John
Little.
Mr. Clarkson, the barrister, with Mr. Whitaker, the
solicitor, of Lincoln's-inn-fields, attended for the
prosecution ; and Mr. Roberts appeared on behalf of
the prisoners.
From the statement of Mr. Clarkson, it appeared
that some years ago a person of the name of Lane had
set up a colourable title to part of the estate of Sir
Alexander Hood, situated in the parish of South Par-
rott, in the county of Dorset, and had on various oc-
casions served notices of ejectment on the tenants in
possession, with a view of establishing his legal right
to the property, and Sir Alexander was compelled to
defend them. On every occasion when the cases were
set down for trial Mr. Lane neglected to snake his
appearance, and was of course non suited, but still
Sir Alexander Hood was not only very much ha-
rassed at the vexatious proceedings of his opponent,
but also saddled with considerable expenses. On one
occasion, by the oversight of the clerk of Sir Alex-
ander's attorney, Lane obtained a judgment in an
action of ejectment, and possession of some cottages
was delivered up to him iu due course of law. On an
application to a judge the proceedings and judgment
were set aside, and the repossession of the pro-
perty given to the tenants of Sir Alexander. At the
beginning of the present month, Lane signed a war-
rant to di'train, as the alleged landlord, on the goods
and chattels on Abbot's Farm, in the parish of South
Parrott, in the county of Dorset, alleged to be in the
possession of a person named Job Newbury, for 1001.
rent due at Michaelmas, 1849, and placed it in the
hands of the prisoner Windley for execution. The
distress was levied, not on the property of Job New-
bury, but on that of Mr. John Little, the owner of
Abbot's Farm.
Mr. Little was called into the witness-box, and on
being sworn, deposed that seven or eight years ago
he got possession of Abbott's Farm, in the parish of
South Parrott, Dorsetshire, from Sir Alexander
Hood, a part of whose estate it was, and to whom he
had paid 2,500/. for it. He knew a person named
Job Newbury, but had not underlet the farm to
him, nor had he the slightest interest in, or control
over it, and the whole of the stock on it was his, Mr.
Little's, own bona file property. On Monday
morning last, at an early hour, he left home, for the
purpose of going to Yeovil fair, and had not been
long in the fair when he received a message to say
his presence was required at home. He in conse-
quence returned, and was told that eleven cows,
which he had seen safe on the preceding evening,
had been driven off the farm. He traced the parties
as far as Dorchester, a distance of 13 miles from his
residence, and their found his eleven cows in a
pound, surrounded by eight or ten men. He was
certain he saw the prisoners Windley awl Vincent
amongst the persons present. On the following morn-
ing, at about half-past two o'clock, the cattle were
taken from the pound to the railway station, put into
trucks, and taken by the luggage train to tcwn.
He (Mr. Little) travelled by the same train as far as
Southampton, and then got into another train, to be
in town in sufficient time to consult his solicitor. He
did consult his solicitor, and by his advice had two
officers (Sergeant Goff, 8, and Romaine, 38, L) to
take the parties into custody on their arriral at the
Waterloo station with the cattle.

Mr. Little was cross-examined at some length, but
nothing particular was elicited. lie stated in the
most positive terms that he had not underlet the farm
to Newbury, and that the letter had nothing to do
with it.

Mr. James Farmer, clerk to Messrs. Salter and
Clerk, solicitors, of Chard, Somersetshire, who are
the solicitors to Sir Alexander Hood, was next sworn,
and spoke to the previous actions of ejectment brought
by Lane against the tenants on the property of Sir
Alexander, and his never appearing at the assizes to
try them. The witness also said he had heard the
prisoner 'Windley say at Dorchester that he had been
to the office of the Secretary of State, and had his
(the Home Secretary's) authority for what he did.
Mr. John Henry Dixon, clerk to the town agents
of Messrs. Salter and Clerk, also gate an account of
the legal manoeuvres of Lane, who, he said, had com-
pelled Sir Alexander Hood to defend at least twenty
actions, which had cost him about 6001. Oa one
occasion he (Lane) was arrested for the costs, when
he took the benefit of the Insolvent Act, but had
been remanded for twelve months for his vexatious
proceedings.
On the part of the defendants Mr. John Edmond
Hughes was called, who said he had been in the
army, but was at present living as a private gentle-
man, in Blenheim-place, St. John's-wood. In reply
to questions from the prisoners' solicitor, he said that
he had made an application on this business to Mr.
Mayne, the police commissioner, but not to the
Secretary of State, as had been stated. He knew
the handwriting of Lane, and could swear that the
signature to the warrant produced was his.
Mr. Ford, an auctioneer and appraiser in the
Walworth-road, said he knew the prisoner Windley,
and accompanied him to Abbott's Farm, in Dorset-
shire, and there appraised and condemned eleven cows
for 1001.

In reply to a question from Mr. Clarkson, this
witness said he did not take any pains to ascertain
whether this property belonged to Job Newbury or
not, nor did he care who it belonged to.
The prisoners' solicitoridenied that his clients had
acted with a felonious intention, and therefore the
charge of felony must fall to the ground. With re-
spect to the.removal of property, it was quite clear
that, though they acted on what they conceived to be
good authority, it was not so, and they were ready
not only to restore the property, but to express their
regret for what they hid done, and also to afford
every assistance to the solicitors on the other side in
any ulterior proceedings they might wish to institute
against other parties.
Mr. Clarkson agreed to this proposition, and in
addition, that their attorney should give a written
promise that no harassing action should be brought.
This was also done; and the magistrate, in discharging
the prisoners, remarl•<ed that though the charge had
gone off as it had the offence was by no means a light
one. They must have known that the removal of the
cattle from Dorsetshire into Middlesex, under the
circUPlstnnces, was illegal and improper.

CLERKEN WELL.
Charles Corbey, aged between 20 and 21 years,
was placed at the bar before Mr. Combs, for final
I examination, charged by Mary Noble, aged 22, with
having cut and wounded her, with intent to murder.
The prosecutrix, who had been in the infirmary of
St. Luke's workhouse ever since the Ist instant, the
day on which the attempt was made on her life, and
in a dangerous state, was sufficiently recovered to be
brought from thence to this court in a cabriolet, but
in a very weakly condition, with her throat bandaged
up. Prior to the prisoner being placed at the bar,
the prosecutrix was supported into the court, and
all Owed a seat close to the clerk's desk, in order that
she might by distinctly heard whilst giving her evidence.
The prisoner, on being brought from the gaoler's
cell and placed in the dock, caught sight of the pro-
secutrix, when he looked steadfastly upon her, and
burst into a flood of tears. She stared at him, and
was much affected when the prisoner exclaimed
wildly, "0, dear Mary, don't let me be sent back
again to that prison !" •
Mr. Smith, the surgeon who attended the prose
cutrix, here suggested that it was necessary that the
prisoner should, if possible, be prevented interfering
with the prosecutrix while she was giving her
evidence, and that if she could be allowed to lie
down and be as quiet as possible it would be better;
any hysterical emotion would do her much injury.
Mr. CONIBE said if the prisoner interfered he should
be taken out of court, and the evidence be received
during his absence. He asked the prisoner if he
recollected what had taken place at his first examina-
tion ? Prisoner (vacantly)—No.
The prosecutrix was now sworn. She stated as
follows—l am now an inmate in St. Luke's work-
house. I was living formerly with the prisoner, at
No. 19, Baltic-street, St. Luke's. I have known him
since last August three years. I lived with him as
his wife up to November last.
Prisoner—Yes ; and we were about to be married.
Mr. COMBE cautioned him not to interrupt, or he
must be put out of court.
Witness continued—l had been out somewhere
which displeased the prisoner. We had some high
words on the subject, and on the Tuesday before the
Ist of November, I told him I would not live with him.
I had often told him so, in consequence of his ill- usage
to me. The place I went to was No. 28, Ironmonger•
lane, the house of my former landlady. On the Wed-
nesday we quarrelled and fought together. I went
into a room, and he called me out to have tea. We
quarrelled again, and he threatened me. I dressed
myself, and told him I would no longer live with him.
I left the place, and stopped out all night, at No. 21i1,
Ironmonger-lane. On the morning of the Ist of No-
vember I was at work as usual at cap-making, at the
prisoner's sister's, Prospect-place, St. Luke's, at about
ten o'clock in the morning. The prisoner entered
the room where I was at work. I went down stairs,
when he followed me : he asked where I had been all
night ; and said if I told him the truth he would
say nothing to me. I told him I had been at my
landlady's, 28, Ironmonger-lane. He always objected
to my going there. When I had told him, he said,
" What, after I have cautioned you so many times
not to go there again !" I returned upstairs to my
work, when he came up and asked me to go to dinner
with him : I refused. He then asked me to go to
tea : I said I would not. He said, " Oh, you won't."
I said, " I don't want to go home with you any more."
He appeared to be in a great passion, and left the
place, saying, "Then I hope you and I will be in
heaven before long." I did not fancy he was about
to do me any harm. lie went away with his bro
then-in-law, and he returned in about two hours, and
came again into the work-room where I was. He
entered and fixed his eyes on me, and looked wildly
and burst into tears. I felt alarmed, and said,
" Charley, what have you been doing ? Come to me,
and tell me." I pulled him towards me, to the chair
on which I was seared, and kissed him. lie put his
arm round my neck and pressed close to me, and I
thought he was about to return the kiss; and as he
held my head back I felt that he had cut my throat.
I flung myself from him and said," Oh, Charles!
you'll have to be hung for this!" He said, " I can't
help it ; if I can't marry you, no one else shall." I
ran out of the place bleeding, leaving him with his
brother-in-law and sister. He was crying very much
at the time.

Mr. Coarse—Had he ever said anything to you
about marry ing you ? Witness—He had said he
would marry me whe❑ he was out of his apprentice-
ship, or when he would be able to support me. He
had had words with his father.

By Mr. COMBE—Her former landlady's house, in
Ironmonger-lane, was not a bad house. The landlady
had a dislike to the prisoner. He had only been
there once for about a quarter of an hour, and he al-
ways had a strong objection to her going there. He
was apprentice to his father, a watchmaker. Witness
was never aware that the prisoner wai jealous of her.
The razor with which he cut her throat was not the
one which he usually shaved himself with.
Prisoner—Did you not often tell me that bad cha
racters went to the house ?

Mr. COMBE—Such a question is calculated to do you
more harm than good. It would only show that you
entertained malice.
Prisoner—Was I sober at the time ?
Witness—You might have been drinking a little,
but you were quite sober.
Prisoner—l asked, have you been to that had house
again ? You said, " Yes." I then said, " Well, you
are a pretty one 1"
The prosecutrix was now bound over to prosecute
the prisoner at the Central Criminal Court.
Prosecutrix (entreatingly)-oh, I hope you will
have mercy upon him. The Lord has been so mer-
ciful as to spare my life, and I hope his will be
spared.
The prisoner here exclaimed—She knows I had no
malice beforehand against her.

When she was about to be supported out of court,
the prisoner said " Good bye." She seemed inclined
to gu to him, but she was taken out, the prisoner
saying coolly " Good bye, Mary." She was then
conveyed back to the workhouse in a cabriolet.
Mr. Joseph Ashby Smith, surgeon, of' No. 154,
Whitecross-street, St. Luke's, proved having baen
called on to attend the prosecutrix, at No. 8, Prospect-
place. He found her sitting on a chair, with her
throat cut, and bleeding. She was holding the wound
with both hands to stop the blood. He sewed up the
wound, and she was conveyed to the infirmary of St.
Luke's workhouse. She was at that time in great
danger. The wound was several inches in length,
from the jaw downwards to the cartoid artery and in-
ternal jugular vein, and in a zig-zag form.
Mr. eosins having cautioned the prisoner that he
was not bound to say anything, in his defence, said he
should commit him to take his trial for cutting and
wounding the prosecutrix with intent to murder.
The prisoner said nothing, and the whole of the
witnesses were bound over to prosecute. He was
then conveyed to Newgate.

MELANCHOLY CATASTROPHE AT LOUTH.
FIVE LIVES LOST.
The Lincolnshire Tithes gives the following details
of this distressing event :—About three o'clock in the
afternoon of Saturday last the inhabitants of this
borough were thrown into a state of considerable
alarm and consternation by a terrific explosion of
combustibles, on the premises of Mr. W. Armitage,
chemist and druggist, of the Fish Shambles. About
two years ago. that gentleman, who was a member of
the Town Council, highly respected by his fellow-
townsmen, and possessed of high scientific sentiments
as a practical chemist and pyrotechnist, invented a
valuable explosive railway signal, for the purpose of
indicating any danger that might arise on a railway
line, and having received orders of late from several
companies for a considerable number, was engaged
on the afternoon above mentioned in the manufacture
of them. The place in which this was carried on was
a warehouse immediately over the kitchen, which
stood detached a few feet from the dwelling-house, 1
and Mr. Armitage, his father, Mr. Thomas D. Armi-
tage, a youth named Stephen Evans (the son of a
neighbour), and Mary Jane Evans, his sister, were
employed. In the kitchen below were Eliza Wilson,
Mr. Armitage's housekeeper, and a servant. ‘Vhen
Mr. W. Armitage entered, and opened the door of
an iron oven to take out some paste of a combustible
nature, of which the signals are made, and which
had been placed there to hake or dry, from some
cause or other it exploded with a terrific report, ignit-
ing the combustibles in the warehouse above, reducing
th© whole building to a heap of ruins, and burying
the above-named persons under the burning mass,
with the exception of the servant maid Roberts, who
miraculously escaped through a window, and, with a
little boy of Mr. Armitage's in her arms, sustained
little injury except from fright. The assistance of
the police, with their superintendent Mr. Tacey, and
one of the fire-engines attached to the force, was
promptly procured ; the fire being extinguished,
operations commenced, with the assistance of a great
number of the inhabitants, for the removal of the
ruins and extrication of the sufferers. The first who
got out was Eliza Wilson, the housekeeper, alive, but
her legs being so much crushed, and her body having
sustained so much injury from burns and bruises, that
she gradually sank and died about three hours after-
wards. The youth Evans was then taken out, and
survived but a very short time. The other three, Mr.
Armitage, his father, and the girl Evans, were
quickly and successively extricated, but were quite
dead. All the poor sufferers presented a most horrible
spectacle, being charred by the fire and mutilated by
the fall of the building, almost beyond pos,ibility of
recognition, except from their dress, or that portion
of it which remained unburned.
An inquest was held on Monday, and the jury
returned the following verdict :
" That deceased died from injuries and burns
caused by the explosion of some combustible ingre-
dients employed in the manufacture of railway
signals in a certain building on the premises of Mr.
4mitage, and by the full of thp said building in con-
sequence of the DAN exploreLi and they yyce of

49,

opinion that due caution had not been obsetved in the
drying of the s tid signals."

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

EAST INDIES AND CHINA.
HONG KONG, SEPT. 29.--Her Majesty's ship Hast-
ings, 72, Captain Morgan, with Rear-Admiral Sir
Francis Collier on board, arrived here yesterday, after
a somewhat stormy passage from Singapore, and
found only the steamer Fury, Commander Wilcox
(which preceded her into harbour by five days,
having parted company from her in a gale of wind
off Hainan), in the harbour, except the hospital and
store ships. The Medea steam sloop, Commander
Lockyer, has had a smart brush with the pirates,
and lost one man killed, and Mr. Wilkinson, mid
shipman, and several men wounded ; but (says our
correspondent) these affairs have of late become
somewhat too common, and among the thinking part
of the community grave doubts are entertained of the
justice of our waiting a crusade against all persons
whom the commanders of our men-of-war may choose
to designate as pirates, without closely scrutinizing
their real claim to the title, and pursue to the death,
heedless of how far they are corrsct in assuming the
office of avengers of injuries not committed against
our fellow countrymen or interests. The Amazon,
24, Captain Troubridge, has gone to Singapore. The
Columbine, 14, Commander Hay, will sail for England
in the course of October, taking a number of invalids
from the squadron in China. She is at present looking
after pirates in the Canton river Dr. Patrick
Digan, acting surgeon of the Columbine, and Mr.
H. Baker, surgeon of the Amazon have exchanged
ships. No.other changes have occurred. Squadron
all well."
The squadron on the East India station was dis-
tributed as under, on the 29th of September:—
Hastings, 74 (flag), Captain Morgan, at Hong-
Kong; with the steam sloop Fury, 6, Commander
Willcox ; the Alligator hospital-ship, Dr. Banker ;
and the Minden store-ship, Mr. Mitchell, master,
R.N , in charge.
On the Bombay Division—The Cambrian, 40,
Commodore J. H. Plumridge, C.B.
At Whampoa—The Medea steam-sloop; and the
East India Company's steamer Phlegethon.
At Ningpo—The Arab, 16, Commander Morris.
At Amoy—The Pilot, 16, Commander Lyons.
At Shanghae—The Mariner, 16, Commander Ma•
thewson.
At Borneo—The Royalist, 10, Lieutenant Everest,
commanding.
The Dart, 3, Lieutenant H. Hill commanding,
arrived at Portsmouth yesterday morning from the
coast of Africa with invalids (from the squadron)
and passengers ; amongst them Lieutenant PhilliFs,
from the Firefly steam sloop; Mr. Pounds, master's
assistant, from the Alert brig. The Dart landed
mails and invalids yesterday, and will sail this
morning for Sheerness, to be put out of commission.
The Seaflower cutter, tender to the Cuckoo steamer,
Commander Dumaresque, sailed from Portsmouth for
Jersey yesterday, to resume her service at the
fisheries.
The Stromboli steam-sloop, Commander Lord A.
W. Beauclerk, sailed out of Portsmouth harbour for
Spithead after replenishing coals, yesterday, and
remains awaiting orders.
THE AFRICAN SQUADRON.
Her Majesty's ship Dart, 3 guns, Lieutenant Hill,
Commander, arrived off Portsmouth yesterday from
Sierra Leone, whence she sailed on the 18th ult., on
which day Commodore Fanshawe, C. 8., in the Cen-
taur steam-frigate (Commander-in-Chief on the sta-
tion), left for Ascension and the western portion of
his command. The slave-trade remained unchecked,
except on the southern part of the station, where no
prizes had been taken for many months, although
several had been chased—the last taken on that coast
being the prize made jointly by her Majesty's
steamers Rattler and Cyclops, as reported in our last
advices. Her Majesty's steamer Firefly, Commander
Tudor, took a fine slaver in September with 600
negroes on board ; the vessel was a fine brig of 300
tons, under the stripes and stars, named the Whig of
New York, and was captured under peculiar circum-
stances by a crew of six kroomen of the Firefly ship's
company, commanded by Mr. Newport, mate of
that vessel. This is the most fortunate prize made
for a long time on the coast, most of the others being
empty when boarded. The Alert brigantine made
a descent upon the Gallinas coast in the early
part of last month, for the purpose of taking off
a number of slaves from the depots at that point,
and succeeded in shipping upwards of 200 out of a
large number, but had the misfortune to drown about
thirty of the remainder in an attempt to embark them
through a heavy surf. Her Majesty's brigantine Spy
has made a prize since last news, but had no slaves in
her. J. Duncan, Esq., her Britannic Majesty's con-
sul at Whydah, was on the point of going up to seek
an interview with King Dahomey, to found treaties,
kc., accompanied by Captain Forbes, of her Majesty's
brigantine Bonetta, and a sufficient force to exhibit
the efficiency of the service. Seven vessels have been
taken by the Dart during her period of service on the
coast of Africa. The next vessel to be sent to Eng-
land from that station is H.M. brig Britomart, which
would sail from Ascension on the Ist of November.
The Rev. Mr. Poole, colonial chaplin at Sierra Leone,
has arrived in the Dart on leave, to recruit his health.
Governor M'Donald was daily expected at Sierra
Leone, when the Dart sailed. The British squadron
cruizino• for the suppression of the slave trade, was
stationed as follows when the mail closed (18th of
October) :
At the Island of Ascension—The Tortoise, 12,
Captain Hutton.
At Sierra Leone—The Pluto steam sloop, Com-
mander Jolifie ; and the Alert, 6, Corn. Dunlop.

WooLwrcrt, Nov. 21.—The Volcano stew]) vessel,
140 horse power, recently brought home from Malta,
was towed up the river yesterday by the African
steam-vessel, from Sheerness, and after having her
boilers and engines taken out at this dockyard, will
be taken back to Sheerness to be refitted for service.
Captain Sir Baldwin Walker, K.C.8., surveyor of
the navy, with Mr. Isaac Watts, assistant-surveyor,
visited Woolwich Dockyard yesterday afternoon, and
went on board the Vulcan steam-frigate in the basin,
the Retribution steam frigate in one of the east docks,
and the Desperate steam-sloop in the other. Sir
Baldwin Walker then visited the saw mills, where
timbers where in progress of being converted for the
building of an 80-gun ship, to be named the Aga-
memnon, and to be fitted with a screw-propeller and
auxiliary engines of 400-horse power. The saw mills
have been converting timber also for the Royal Al-
bert, 120 guns, and the Nankin, 50 gun frigate, now
nearly ready for launching. Captain Sir Baldwin
Walker, with Mr. Watts, went also on board the
Terrible steam-frigate, now ready for commission.
The Vulcan steam-frigate is ordered to be taken to
Sheerness when the next spring tides take place.

Trest.NURDER AT 'DALE-GATE.—Benjamin 8a0145',/
the man who has been, in prison at Brighton for the
month, on suspicion of being concerned in the murder °I
the late George Storehouse Griffith, late a brevrer
Brighton, has undergone a fourth and final examined(/'
before the Brighton magistrates. The prisoner, it is under
stood, was taken into custody in consequence of a stn
ment made in Maidstone gaol-by a poacher, that Banks ord,
boasted a,knowledge of the circumstances connected 0'
the murder. All the examinations (even the last) wet",
'
conducted in private; but it is understood that Ben„'"",
,
from time to time set up and called persons to pr°,o
different and,contradictory alibis, and the failure '
establish either of these of course had a tendency 10
,ro
strengthen the suspicion of his guilty knowledge.
these circumstances, we believe, the prisoner owed.''.,
prolonged detention. The result of the final exam'
Lion was the prisoner's discharge; and: the, mysteri,

the East Sussex constabulary have been most diligent!"
their investigations and inquiries.
BAPTISM OF AN OAX TRE/3.--A. letter frolll
Darmstadt of the 14th inst. states that the Archdei,,,
l
John lately took part, with his son, in a wild boar hulla
on the domain of Kratuchstein, belonging to the Grit
Duke of Hesse Darmstadt. Near the house of t-;
ranger is one of the largest and oldest oaks in Germarli
its age is not less than 1,000 years, and its trunk is .si
,
feet in circumference. The Grand Duke asked- ern3ls,
sion to baptise the tree by the name of Johandes-Eicl3ot
(John's oak). This was acceded to; the sacred rite
baptism was performed with the greatest solemnity, are,'
if there be any- truth in the doctrine of baptismal rl•
neration, the exhausted powers of this fine tree may r-,i 4
sibly be revived. The Archduke, on his side', bero.:,l
an adjacent ollt by the name of Ludwig's-Eiche (Lou?,
oak). The religious ceremony was witnessa.witlll
terest by a large concourse of spectators.
FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—On Saturday last °
fatal accident occurred on the Manchester and Sheffeiti
line of railway. Shortly after twelve o'clock tree.
consisting of seven luggage waggons stopped at Gal r
bridge station, on its way from Ashton to Meneheste.
After waiting a few minutes the train was again puto io
motion, when the guard, a young man named Jackgr;
aged nineteen years, perceived a box, which should Oa
been left at the station, had not been removed -from 01,
of the carriages, and the signal was made for the ePgb,
neer to stop. In-the meantime Jackson was lifting t
box off the carriage, and had nearly succeeded in NOP:
it sate on the platform, when the engineer backed ittii
train, and the unfortunate man was thrown off his One/
and fell under a-wheel, which passed over him,
and C7O
off his left arm and left leg. He was removed to tve
Royal Infirmary at Manchester by the same train, where
proper attention was paid to his injuries, but he died 4
same night. An inquest was held on the body by •
Herford, coroner for the borough of Manchester, an
verdict was returned. to the effect that the occurrell
was accidental.

DARING HIGHWAY ROBBEILY.—On Tuesdpy eveclj;
ing. about six o'clock, as a young gentleman, nsol;
Conder, was returning from town to his residence
Brixton, he was attacked by three men in an unfrequeo`,
path leading from the vitrol manufactory, on Kennigf;
ton-common, towards Camberwell-green. He'was firs
seized round the throat by one of the villains, 'and gu,err
struck on the head with some heavy instrument; ge),,
which they robbed him of a silver double-bottomed ,„
maker's name J. Cot, Geneve, a gold vbrequet chain l'"r.
key, and rifled his pockets of their contents which 1,1°,,/
tunately amounted to a few shillings only. The cowary"ll
ruffians then struck him again and made off. Th°l;:ot
severely cut, it is hoped the ii.juries ho sustained are 'to
of a serious nature. No clue has yet been obtained
1,
the perpetrators of this outrage. The night being Clsll'o
and the assault so sudden, Mr. Conder was unable
distinguish his assailants or to cull for help. The 1/1%;
in question is favourable for such an attack, and ous
not to be travelled after nightfall.
