CRIMINAL COURT.—.('I IRIS DAY.)
OLD CO171;71
(Beton., the 11ECOP.DER.)
ATTEMPT TO MULIDER.—LIiza Wayhorne, spinstt.r,
aged 25, was indicted for feloniously cutting and wound-
ing Charles Gibson, with intent to murder him.
Mr. Robinson prosecuted; the prisoner was unde-
fended.

It appeared from the evidence that on the night of the
27th of February the prosecutor went to his house in a
court in Whitechapel in a state of intoxication, and it
unfortunately happened that he arrived just at the mo-
ment that the prisoner was pursuing a young woman
named Morris, with whom she had been quar-
relling, and mi,taking him in the dark for Morris,
she drew a knife acros his throat and in-
flicted a severe wound upon it. Ile fell to the
ground bleeding, and while he lay there a wash-hard
basin was thrown upon him from one of the houses in
the court, but when taken to the hospital, and restored
to consciousness, being drunk at the time, he could not
tell whether the wounds upon his perso❑ were inflicted
with a knife or by the basin falling on him. A woman,
however, who was in the yard during the whole occur-
rence, witnessed the offence, and upon her information
the prisoner was taken into custody.
The prisoner, in her defence, denied all knowledge of
the matter, further than that a woman had told her that
a girl, known by the name of Dark Sall, was the guilty
party who cut the prosecutor's throat.
The REeonDER briefly summed up, remarking that
as the parties on the night of the offence were all drunk
together,.the evidence would hardly justify a verdict of
an attempt to murdgr, or of cutting and wounding with
intent to do some grieirous bodily harm; but the law pro-
vides for cases like this by empowering the jury, if they
so thought fit, to find the prisoner guilty of an aggra-
vated assault, and ho would suggest to the jury that they
should pursue that cows,: on this occasion.
The jury returned a verdict accordingly, and
The RECORDER sentenced her to two years' imprison-
ment.

MANSLAUGHTER.—EIiza Mitchell, aged 21, spinetc•r,
was indicted for the manslaughter of Hannah Maisey,
her own bastard child, by exposing it to the cold and de-
serting it in the streets.
Under the advice of Counsel the prisoner pleaded
Guilty, and
The RECORDER, in an impressive manner, sentenced
her to two years' imprisonment, with hard labour.

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)
THE ROBBERY OF COINS ♦T THE BRITISH 1117-
SEMI, &C.-7 inwleon Vlasto, who stands accused of
these extensive robberies from the Museum, and from
the collections of several persons of distinction, was
placed at the bar before Mr. Jardine, on remand from
Thursday last. Mr. Bodkin conducted the prosecution;
Mr. Clarkson attended for the defendant. On the bench
were General Fox, Sir Henry Ellis, the Earl of En-
niskillen, &e. .

Mr. Doubleday, one of the curators of the antiquities,
swore positively to two coins, now produced, as having
been stolen from the collection in the museum under his.
care. He could not be mistaken about them, for he had
taken, previously, to the theft, a cast from each of them
in a sulphur mould, which was of the most perfect kind
that could be made, and gave the minutest flaw and pecu-
liarity of the original with great exactness. He could swear
without any doubt whatever to the identity of those two
coins, uponjiat ground. He had taken no cast since
the robbery. The coins had been in the possession of
the police since the arrest of the prisoner. The two of
which Mr. Doubleday deposed, had been found by
Mr. Inspector Field of the A division of police,
concealed in a secret drawer, which was sunk
neatly in the bottom of the prisoner's writing
desk. :The inspector, in the course of his
evidenee, now produced in addition seventy-one
valuable coins, which he also found at the prisoner's
lodgings, No. 15, St. James's-square.—General Fox
identified the greater part of these as having been stolen
from his cabinet, to which the prisoner had access. Of
the remainder he could not be so positive, although, as
they were all rare and valuable, and similar at least to
those which were missing from his collection with the
other more certainly identified ones, he could have
no doubt they were the same. The value of
these coins as old metal might not be above
ten you❑ds in the whole. But . their value
as antiquities was not so easily determined. There
was none of them that was not worth at least three or
four pounds, a❑d he had paid at a greater rate for most
of them. The Gallant General took occasion further to
say, that he had been informed by persons of the highest
respectability, that not only was the prisoner's family
highly connected, but his own conduct had been irre-
proachable up to the circumstances from which these
charges arose, and which were quite at variance with his
previous life and character.
Mr. JAaDINE said that such testimony might be of
some service to the prisoner elsewhere, but could not
avail him at present. He was remanded for another
week.

The prisoner's father, the late Count Vlasto, was con
netted with the Turkish diplomatic corps, about twenty
three years ago.
