CLERKENWELL.

William Whitlock, who had been remanded from
Tuesday last on the charge of embezzling the amount of
a cheque, with which he had been intrusted by his em-
ployers, Messrs. Cooper and Co., solicitors, of Hatton-
garden, to pay into the office of the Stamps and Taxes,
was again brought up for fical examination.
Mr. T. Brown, clerk in the Registrar's-office, Somer-
set-house, produced the book, in which there appeared
no entry of any sum as having been paid by the prisoner.
In reply to Mr. Wolff, who appeared on behalf of the
prisoner, Mr. Cooper said that when the cheque was
given to the prisoner to get cashed, and afterwards to
pay into Somerset-house, it was about half-past two
o'clock on the 24th Dee., and Mr. Brown stated that the
office closed at three o'clock, and was not opened again
until the day after Christmas-day.
Mr. Wolff contended that these circumstances, at all
events, were strong presumptive evidence that the pri-
soner did not intend to steal the cheque when he got it,
and that he had yielded to a momentary temptation.
Mr. GREENWOOD said, he did not intend to commit
him for stealing the check, as there might arise some
doubt respecting his intentions at the moment he got it
into his possession; but he should commit him o❑ the
charge of stealing the amount of money he received at
the bank.

The depositions were made out accordingly, and the
prisoner was fully committed for trial at the Old Bailey.
Sarah Goodyear, was charged with stealing a silver
watch, and several other articles from the person of
James Layton, cf 5, Seymour Cottage, Caledonian-road.
The prosecutor was in the midst of his statement of
the circumstances attending the robbery, to which we
need not more particularly allule, when he suddenly
stopped short, as if deprived of all powers of articula-
tion, and although Mr. Greenwood desired him two or
three times to proceed with it, he still gazed fixedly into
the body of the Court, as motionless anal intently as the
bird at the rattlesnake, until Inspector Penny explained
the fascination by pointing out the prosecutor's wife,
who occupied a prominent position in the front row of
the space allotted to persons in waiting.
Mr. GREENWOOD, having desired Mrs. Layton to stand
forward, informed her that her attendance was not re-
quired, and she might leave the Court if she chose.
Mrs. Layton begged to decline availing herself of the
Magistrate's considerate offer.
Mr. Layton then proceeded with his statement in no
very enviable state of mind, as may be imagined, his
wife sitting right before him, within about three yards,
and bringing to bear upon him a pair of bright eyes,
which seemed never once to wink during the time he
was in the witness-box. His evidence proved that the
prisoner bad snatched his watch from his pocket, and
broke the guard, while he was tele-a- tile with her, and
ran away with it.
She was fully committed for trial.

HEALTH, &C., or THE METROPOLIS.—The deaths
ngistered in the London districts in the week ellfufs
.;
aturday, Jan. 2, 1847, amounted to the extraord'lni
umber of 1,510, or males 759, females 751. This he largest number registered in any one week for Ls
ast seven years, exceeding the average of the last n's,
winters by 442. The principal increase is on th.o4
deaths arising from diseases of the organs of respirstl3i,
and diseases of the brain ; the deaths from bropeb.lbe
being no fewer than 163, or more than four times
average. There is also a great increase in the nuW:,44
of deaths from violence, which amounted to 81, ne'4
nearly 200 per cent. above the ordinary average. MO-0
the latter class is ore of a female who is stated to 114
been killed by eating unboiled rice, which, being °a:,
digested, caused distension and inflammation of the 5.,.10
mach; also one of a little girl, caused by a shock of",
nervous system, arising from fright at seeing a boy i°
red mask. Among the deaths from bronchitis i$ op o°o

which a note is added, that " condition of deceased si,

living, cooking, and sleeping in two rooms ninefleee
square, in a close court in St. James's Clerkenvve`
The number of births registered in the week enti't/'
Saturday, Jan. 2, likewise shows a great and sudden in
thio is
crease, being 1,650, or males 861, females 789 ; ,s
an increase of about 300 over the average of the last i
weeks. From the return of the meteorological obseril-
„
tions taken during the week at the Royal Observal
Greenwich, we find the mean height of the barometer
0,
have been 30.277 ; thermometer (dry) highest ST:.
lowest 19.0, mean 29.0 ; the wind was generally es'
the pressure in lbs. on the square foot never having beens
higher than 0.1, while the sum of horizontal moven
