sion of the district.
Not the slightest case of general interest came on

MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY)
IMPUDENT ROBBERY.—John Smith, a shabby-
dressed fellow, was placed before Mr. Hardwick,
charged with stealing an antique China clock, the
property of Mr. Richard Woolcott, 40, Lisle-street,
Leicester-square.

John Russell, general dealer, 5, New-street, Co-
vent Garden, stated that between seven and eight
o'clock on the previous evening he was in Lisle-
street, when he saw two men enter the shop of Mr.
‘Voolcott, and look at some prints near the door.
The prisoner was outside, looking in at the window.
The two other men appeared to engage the attention
of the lad who was in the shop, and at that moment
the prisoner rushed into the shop and took from off
an ancient cabinet the china clock now produced.
As the prisoner was leaving the shop witness laid
hold of him, but he got away and ran as far as
Sidney's-alley, where he dropped the clock. Wit-
ness got hold of him again and detained him till a
constable came up, when he gave him in charge.
Richard Woolcott said he was a dealer in ara:ient
articles of furniture, &c., and resided at 40, Lisle"
street. The clock produced was his property, and
worth about 3/. He saw it safe in his shop at seven
o'clock last night, and could positively say that it had
not been sold to any one.
Police-constable 61 C said he was on duty in
Leicester-square on the preceding evening, when be
heard the cry of police proceed from Sidney's.
On going there, he saw the prisoner struggling with
first witness] who gave the prisoner into ciotody for
stealing the clock.
The prisoner, who admitted the charge, was com-
mitted for trial.

THAMES.—(THIS DAY.)
Edward Driscoll, a coalheaver, was charged with
assaulting and injuring Mary Donovan, a girl only
fourteen years of age.
The
mother of the unfortunate girl stated that the
injuries were inflicted on her daughter by the pri-
soner on Wednesday, the 22d of last month. She Aid
not witness, it, but as far as she could gather from her
daughter s account, the prisoner, who lodged in the
house, came home rather intoxicated, and first beat
his own wife, and on her daughter remonstrating
with him, he knocked her down, kicked her dread-
fully, and almost broke her back over a stool, the
consequence of which was she was confined to her
pillow ever since, and gradually grew worse, till now
there was little hope of her recovery, and the prisoner
was accordingly intogiven custody.
Mr. Henry Ellison, surgeon, deposed that he was
called in to attend the prosecutrix's daughter on
Wednesday last. On examining her there were no
discolourations visible, but as a week had elapsed
they might have disappeared. There was a swelling
between the two " scapula," which might have been
caused by being knocked over a stool. She was also
suffering under intense mental excitement. She was
at present in great danger of her life, arising from
injured and diseased lungs.
Mr. YARDLEY inquired if there was any other
evidence ?—Police-constable K 50, said thete was at
young woman who, at the time of the occurrence,
lodged in the house, and saw the whole teffair, and if
time were granted he could produce her.
Mr. YARDLEY—That will be h;ghly necessary, for
at present there is no legal evidence on which to de-
tain this man. I shall, however, bind him over in
the sum of 201. to appear at this court on Monday
next, to which period I shall remand this charge ;
and in the interim you must endeavour to procure
this young woman, or some one who witnessed the
transaction.

The Magistrate then cautioned the prisoner that if

Issued for his apprehension.

CLERKENIVELL.—( THIS DAY.)
William Samuel Ayre and Henry Hyatt were
charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with breaking into the
remises of Mr. Litchfield, cabinetmaker, of White
ion. street, Clerkenwell.
At ten o'clock last night, as the prosecutor was
closing the parlour window, he heard a noise in the
Yard, when he went out and saw Hyatt corning out
of the wash-house. He seized him, when the other
-Prisoner came out, and a policeman arriving they
were given into custody. On their way to the sta-
tion-house Hyatt dropped a picklock key, which Mr.
-Litchfield picked up without saying anything, and
before they reached the station both of the pri-
toners dropped no less than seven skeleton keys
and common keys of %*arious patterns. When
!earched at the station-house, various other house-
breaking instruments were found upon them, and also
a tremendous weapon, called in flash parlance " a
skull-cracker." There were several articles of wearing
apparel and two silver spoons also discovered in their
possession.

Mr. Litchfield said he could not identify any of
this property.
Mr. TYRWHITT said as that was the fact, he must
treat the case as being found upon the premises for
an unlawful purpose, instead of as a burglary. He
should send each of the prisoners to the House of
CAmection for two months, with hard labour.
