CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
OLD COURT.

William Round, 21, a post-office letter carrier, pleaded
guilty to two indictments, charging him with stealing
letters containing money and other articles, the property
of the Postmaster- General.

Mr. Justice EnLi;eni;nced him to be transported for
ten years.

deorgelimit, 55, labourer, was indicted for cutting
and wounding Susannah Haynes, with intent to murder
her. In other counts, the intention of the prisoner was
laid to be to do the prosecutrix grievous bodily harm.
It appeared from the evidence, that Mrs. Haynes lived
with her husband, in a cottage situated in rather a lonely
position, at Holloway, calla Paradise-terrace. The pri-
soner lived in the same neighbourhood; and appeared to
have been on friendly terms with the prosecutrix and
her husband up to the time of the transaction in ques-
tion, which took place on the evening of the 14th of
November. At that time it appeared that the prisoner
went to the cottage, where Mrs. Haynes was alone at
the time, awaiting her husband's return to supper, and,
after some ordinary conversation, while the prosecutrix
vas in the act of turning towards the fire, she received a
tremendous blow upon the head from the prisoner. She
seized him, and a struggle took place between them,
during which she received other injuries, but at length
her cries brought assistance, and the prisoner made his
escape. The prosecutrix was found in a fainting state,
and almost covered with blood ; and it appeared, from
the testimony of the surgeon, that the injuries she re-
ceived were of a very serious character, and that, at one
time, he apprehended a fatal result. When the prisoner
was apprehended, he admitted he had assaulted the pro-
secutrix, and said he] had,. done it for satisfaction ar.d
revenge.

The prisoner, in his defence, denied that he had ever
said anything about satisfaction :or revenge, but said
that on the night in question, he went to the prosecu-
trix's cottage, and they had a little dispute, and she
seized him by the collar and threatened to give him in
charge for deserting his wife. This excited him, and he
took up the candlestick and "jobbed" her on the head,
in order to make her lose her hold, but she kept push-
ing him along, and when she got him outside she left
hold of him, and he walked away, and this, he said, was
"the long and short of it."

The jury found the prisoner Guilty upon that count
in the indictment charging his intent to be to do grievous
bodily harm, and Mr Ju.tice Earle sentenced him to be
transported for life.
Robert Warrington Crowther, 34, described as a la-
bourer, was indicted for feloniously forging and uttering
an order for 301., with intent to defraud Messrs. Dixon,
the bankers, Chancery-lane.
Mr. Clarkson prosecuted, and Mr. Ballantine defended
the prisoner.

IC appeared that the prisoner had been employed as
clerk to an attorney named Simmons, who kept an ac-
count at Messrs. Dixon's, and it was proved that the
forged cheque was is the handwriting of the prisoner,
and one of the notes that had been paid for it was after-
wards traced to him.

The prisoner received a good character from his
brother, who is a clergyman of the Church of England,
and other respectable persons.
The jury found him guilty, but recommended him to
mercy, and Mr. Justice Maule sentenced him to trans-
portation for ten years.
There were other charges of a similar character against
the prisoner ; and the clerk of the New Church at Chel-
sea applied to the Cuurt to order the restitution of some
money that was found upon the prisoner, and which had
been obtained from him by a forged cheque that had
been given to him by the prisoner on payment of the
church fees on the occasion of his marriage. He had,
it appeared, given the clerk an order for four pounds
upon Messrs. Dixon, and received the difference.
Mr. Justice MAULE said he should not make any
order, but he did not think the policeman ought to
object to give up the money, under the circumstances.
The Grand Jury came into Court with a number of
bills, and among them, one against Captain Sleigh, for
a misdemeanor, under the Foreign Inlistment Act, which
was returned a true bill. It appeared they had got
through the whole of the business, and they were there-
fore discharged from further attendance.
