' cattle. The.prisoner, a yonthef about seventeen, was.
it appeared, idling,' and the prosecutor told him to mind
his work. He was then standing with his hands in his
pockets. He said he would please himself. The prose-
cutor pushed him, and he fell in the dirt in the byre. He
took up a rake to strike the prosecutor, who pushed him
down a second time. He got up, took out his knife,
and thrust twice at the prosecutor. The prosecutor
warded off the blow, and turned round to go on with his
work, when he received a stab in the side under the arm.
lie continued, however, putting the dirt in the barrow,
not thinking he had sustained any serious injury; but
on taking hold of the handles of the barrow, to wheel it
out, found himself so ill that he lay down in the straw.
A female servant who was present called up Mr. and
Mrs. Mossop, and the prosecutor was taken into the
house and put to bed. A doctor was sent for, who
found he had a wound, about an inch long, under the
arm, about the seventh rib He did not ascertain the
depth of. it, but, from the symptoms of which the
prosecutor comphiiiied, thought it dangerous. It proved,
however, not to be so, the prosecutor being quite well in
a week.

Mr.
EiNSIIAT contended, for the defence, that the pri-
soner had acted without premeditation, under the anger
produced by the unjustifiable violence which the prose—
cutor bad in the first instance offered to him.
Guilty of an assault.
To be imprisoned two calendar months, the prisoner
having been in gaol since the 3d of April.
On the civil side his Lordship, having at an early hour
disposed of all the causes in the list except the special
jury, tried several of the minor cases of felony.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
Sir Peter Laurie waited upon the Lord Mayor for the
purpose, he said, of putting into his Lordship's posses-
sion a correspondence in which Joseph lady was the
principal party concerned, the reading of which caused
a great deal of laughter.
The LORD Marart said, he believed he ha 1 some let-

Sir P. LAURIE said, the New Post-office Act, some of
the clauses of which appeared to have been suggested to
the Administration by the conduct of Joseph Ady, came
into force on the Ist of August. In that Act there were
three clauses in regard to rejected letters, b- which,

of letters being rejected, and in procseding for postage,
it was provided that "the apparent writer shall be deemed
to be the sender of a letter." The Act was likely to
meet the ingenuity of Joseph Ady, and he thought it
necessary to call the attention of the public to the fact,
in order that every means might be adopted to abate
such a nuisance.
The first letter produced by Sir P. Laurie was directed
"To the wife of —, Esq., Mortimer-street, Cavendish-
square," and stated as follows:

Sir P. LAURIE said, that Mr. Ady having committed
a mistake in supposing that the gentleman to whose
house the letter was directed had a wife, the distress
which such a communication might have occasioned if
the conjecture had been correct, did not occur. The
next letter to which it was proper to draw his Lord-
ship's attention was from Vienna. It was addressed to
him by a gentleman to whom Mr. Ady had written, and
was as follows:
" To the Right Hon. Sir Peter Laurie, Knight, Deputy
Lord Mayor, London.
" Sir,—Pray excuse the liberty I take in addressing
myself to you on a subject which interests me and my
family very materially, and I should not have craved
your interference, had the party by whom the annexed
letter is written, not made use of your honourable name.
Mr. Joseph Ady, the accountant, is a perfect stranger to
we, consequently I hope he will not take amiss my not
trusting the veracity of his intelligence. Should you,
however, find on inquiry the sum coming to me right,
you will kindly pay him his demanded fee.—(Laughter.)
"An order of Messrs. Coutts and Co., London, on
their bankers here, is sure to find me, having re-
turned from Hungary fast October in consequence of the
ill health of myself and family.

Embassy, will give you any evidence of identity, if re
quired. _ _

" The inclosed lines to Mr. Ady authorise your honour

(Copy of Mr. Ady's letter, accountant, London.)
"As you would that men should do to you, do you
even so to them."—Peter Laurie.
" The undersigned is able to inform you of something
to your advantage (value 1001. and upwards), on receipt
of 20s. by order on Whitechapel post-office. as an equi-
valent for his trouble and costs generally; which money
you or your legatees will lose unless immediate atten-
tion is pail thereto; and should you find any difficulty

'Respectfully yours,
"JOSEPH ADY, accountant,
"5. York. street, Charlotte-street, quarter of a mile
east of Whitechapel Cnurch, London.
" May 10, 1847."
The third letter to which Sir P. LAURIE alluded was
directed to a gentleman at C4rmartnen from Joseph
Ady, informing him that the property which was to be
had for 20s. amounted to 1,0001., and was the third com-
munication which had been sent to him on the subject
by Ady. The writer mentioned, that although he be-
lieved the statement to be without foundation, and that
Sir P. Laurie had never authorised any reference to be
made to him on such a matter, still there were people
who thought Mr. Ady could never have thought of
acting in matters so important, without the sanction of
th,, hon. gentleman of whom so much mention had been
made; that the reference was bold and wholly without
disguise; and that if there were any deception practised
the most complete exposure ought to take place as
speedily as possible.
The LORD MAYOR said there was no doubt of the
active efforts of Joseph Ady, as the correspondence lately
received at the Mansion-house amply testified, and he had
expectation that the New Post-office Act would supply
the means of abating the long-standing nuisance. His
Lordship hoped that the public would not fail to look at
the Act of Parliament produced by Sir Peter Laurie,
and do all in their power to test its efficacy in the case of
Ir. My.

BOW-S
Yesterday Mr. William GatTREET es, late. chief clerk to the
Commissioner., for Special Purposes at Somerset-house,
was placed before Mr. Jardine for re .examination,
charged with having obtained from the Receiver-General
the sum of 1371., by means of a forged order and receipt.
When some further evidence having been heard, the
case was remanded for another week, it being under-
stood that there were other similar charges against the
prisoner.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
Leoline De Villars, a handsome young French girl,
dressed in lull opera costume, was summoned before Air.
Hardwick by Benjamin Elkin, for detaining his portrait,
his velvet cap, his two walking canes, his ring, and his
silk handkerchief.

The complainant, a short person of very juvenile and
simple appearance, stated that on Sunday evening a
friend and himself were taking a stroll down Regent-
street, when they met the defendant and her sister, who
nodded invitingly to them. Nut understanding French
himself, he deputed hia friend to do the introductory
part of the business, and as the young ladies were in -a
very goud- natured mood, they suffered himself and
friend to see them to their residence at No. 30, Foley
-
place, wilh permission to call the following evening. The.
complainant said he took counsel with his friend on the
subject, and they came to the unanimous cenclusion that
their new acquaintances were girls of unblemished cha-
racter, distinguished birth. and very p ,s,iblv of large.
fortune. Complainant and his friend kept their appeint-
ment, and in the course of their visit Mdlle. Le.dine was
obliging enough to communicate a few particulars of her
private hist e-y. Her companion ass her sister Esher,
they were daught. rs of Count de Villars, whose estate
was the Castle of the Isle of Bonor. They bad resolved
to emancipate themselves from the harshness of parental
control, had made their escape from the paternal castle,
had found their way to England, and had taken a house
for five years, intending to lead a pure and lively life in
London on the 2001. a quarter which they each pos.
sessed. The complainant told the magistrate that it did
strike him as rather singular that two young girls should
take a house five years under such circumstances, but he
attributed vair determination to their French breeding,
arid to their want of knowledge of the proprieties of
English high life. The warmth of his reception that
evening induced him to intreat another interview.
This was granted, and on his arrival in Foley-place
with his friend, Mademoiselle came down stairs splen-
didly dressed, but seemingly in a state: of despon-
dency. Ile entreated his friend to inquire the reason of
her melancholy. She refused to say at first, but at last
was prevailed on to state that for want of a suns of 35/
to pay for duty their valuable goods were detained at

his friend and himself in that distin...lefnha'urdiifciusrhsthMoied manner to
which his merits entitled him. Complainant mated that
his suspicions began somewhat to be arOuse;l, and he
laid a plan with his friend to ascertain, if possible, the
true character of the ladies who were drawing so largely
on their resources. They disguised theme.lves and
watched the house in Foley-place. About eleven
o'clock at night the two ladies came out and took
their way towards Regent-street. The parties who
were dogging their steps soon returned with informa-
tion which at.once dispelled all doubt about the true
vocation of the ladies. To make all sure, complainant
called at the house, was told by th 7 livery servant
chat the ladies had gone out for a stroll, but would
return almost immediately. They did return between
one and two o'clock. A gentleman walked in, and in
less than a minute a light was seen in Mademoiselle's
bedroom, and on the blinds of the window were depict.-d
the silhouette likenesses of a lady and gentleman, the
lady being without doubt Mademoiselle Leoline. Com-

short statement of the matter in French.
A person named Delusan, who said he was landlord of
the house in Foley-place, undertook to put the Court in
possession of the whole particulars. The fact was that
the complainant, Ellam, and his friend, met the *two
young French ladies in Regent-street one evening. and
the complainant Elkin introduc-d himself as thy nephew
of the Duke of Wellington. and a- h,d ling th- r silk of
commander of the Qu-en's Guards. In ord-r to prove
his assertions, he took :ilndenioiselle Leoline to the
gorse Guards, gave her champagne there, end ma ie
her sit down in what he calico the Queen's seat. The
complainant prates-ed violent love tor iademoiselle
Leoline; he gave her at various times various present.;
hut on the discovery that he was only a shopman, the
acquaintance was put an end to. The complainant no.+
wanted to get back the gifts he had ialered as tokens of
riff-ction. The following letters were produced by .vla
demoiselle:—
" Commander in. Chief's- effiee, Horse Guards,
July 20.
" My dear Leontine,—l an-wer to your noble letter, I
must with honour address y m thus. But I feer you
doubt me being a gentleman of birth: but I give you my
honour I'm of respecktable famely, not to ray noble; and
I have a noble hart, and that, my derest, is all I require
from you. Ido not know who and what you are, as I
don't understand your native language sufficient to un-
derstand what you speak off. My dear Leontine, I pray
thee, if though duo understand my,language, that you will
tell me this night all your feelings. If though doo not
love me, speak frely, and then I must—oh, false worn!
—endever to forgit. But still remember this will be a
hevvy task, for I may forgit for a time, hut for hever—
oh, imposable; for though has; made an inapresion on
my hart that can never be blotted out by the hands of
human beings. Dear Leontine, I fear your not hapy
in England. I hope and trust in Heavens that you will
this night let me know all your hart and ankititties.
Dear girl, I am not very rich, but I've got enough to
live in the stile you see me in; and after a short time I
shall be better off in money affairs. But that's not my
object. I look fur your hart to make me hapy. As for
my friend, I must tell you he is a gentleman; but if
though can speak English, as I heer you can, I trust you
will let me know 3 our hart, if worthy such a noble one.
I bid adue till this evening. Kiss sister Esther for me.
" Ever, ever, ever, and ever, your
EDAM."
"Dear Leontine,—you have my love, but still I must
have more confidence for you to know that you do love
me. Then all that I possess will be at your service, as
am, " Ever, ever,

" Commander-in-Chief °nice, Horse Guards,ELLAM July 23.
" Ma cher Leontine,—lt is with grate pleasure that I
address this small epistle of love and honour to you,
which I trust will find you well and happy. My dearest,
1 am pleased to tell you that I have slept well for the
last night for the first time the last fortnight, and I
think if I had not seen you smile on me this evening, I
should never woke again, but I thank Heavens it is not
so at present. I would not pass another such a night for
the Crown of England, which I serve. I relly cant
imagine why you have given me so much pain so undo
servingly, but I trust to Heavens and your Heart tha, all
will end well. I hope to hear from you this day, and
also to see you this evening well and happy.
" Adue. Yura for ever, ever, and ever,
"Kindest love to Esther - hope she hasELLAM written. to
poor Julius, who passed a dull night last night because
he didnt hear from her."
Mr. HA.RDWICS asked the complainant if he had ever
represented himself to he related to the Duke of Wel-
lington ?—The complainant said he had not.
Mr. HanDwicK wished to know who he was ?—The
complainant said he was employed in the shop of Swain,
Isaacs, and Co , Piccadilly.
Mr. HannwlcK asked why he dated his love epistles
from the Horse Guards ?—The complainant said his
uncle was connected with the Horse Guards, and he
certainly had taken Mademoiselle De Villars to his
uncle's rooms, but not with the intention of representing
himself to be what he was not.
Mademoiselle Leoline declared that what had beer.
stated was true. The complainant had stated that he
was related to the Duke of Wellington, and he had
taken her to some rooms in the Horse Guards, which he
said were his noble relati.e's rooms, and had thene
placed her in the Queen's chair, and treated her to
champagne.
Mr. HARDwlcit, referring to the catalogue of items
which the complainant wished to recover, asked him if
he had ever sent the young lady his picture.
The complainant admitted that he had sent her his
portrait, but it was not a gift.
To prove that it was a gift, the male friend of the two
young ladies produced a letter which he said had been
written by the complainant's friend, who understood
French, and which had accompanied the portrait. The
letter was as follows :

" Londres, Juillet, 1847.
" Dedie a celle quej'aime, comme gage d'amitie."
The epistle was couched in similar style throughout.
Mr. HARDWICK asked him how the young lady got
Possession of his ring.
Complainant—Why she took it off my finger one
night, and said she would wear it for my sake.
Mr. HARDWICK—And your velvet smoking cap ?
Complainant—She took it off my head another night,
and said she would keep it for my sake.
Mr. HARDWICK—And your cane ? Complainant—
She wouldn't let me take it away, as she said if she
.did
I wouldn't come the next night ; but I did come with
another cane, and she kept that too under the same
pretence, which I thought was very odd.
Mr. llA.nnwicx—And your silk handkerchief ? Com-
plainant—That she kept too, as she wanted something
to remember me by. The handkerchief was round
something that I sent to her.
The male friend of the defendant stated that he had
called on Messrs. Swain and Co., and had received a
note from one of the partners to the effect that the two
canes were to be detained, as they were believed to be
Messrs. Swain's property, and that the masters of the
complainant desired to examine more minutely into the
affair.

The complainant was shown this note, lie admitted
it was from his employers, but he said he had no doubt
he would be able to clear up matters satisfactorily. He
wished for the magistrate to remand the case until his
solicitor could attend.
Mr. HARDWICK did not see there was any real necessity
fora remand. As tar as the .canes were concerned, the
note of Messrs. Swain and Co. disposed of that part of the
business. The portrait, the ring, the handkerchief, and
the smoking cap, appeared to him to have been given.:!

in ordering them to be restored. The evidence showed

and declared that she had just been passing counterfeit 9
money at an adjoining shop, and he was eeterminedto
have her searched by a policeman,Wasandtaken into cus-

wn assured him that he labouring under
a mistake, d walked rapidly away, in order to avoid
him, but was followed and a gain assailed by the pri-
soner, who persisted in the charge, and grasped
and compressed her arm so at oretbly th she was
still suffering from the effects of his violence. The pri-
soner's outrageous conduct at length attracted the notice
of a lady and gentleman who were passing, the latter of
whom offered her his protection, and she accepted his
arm; but the prisoner immediately dragged h away
from him, and, calling her a common " smasher," shook
her until she became completely breathless. He then
released his hold of her, but still continued walking by
her side, alternately loudly repeating his offensive ac-
cusation and pushing and shaking her, for nearly a
quarter of a mile, when she took refuge in the house of
one of her tradesmen, in Shaftesbury•street, who,
upon being made acquainted with the p i r.soner's con.
duct, called a policeinau and gave him into custody.
Mr. Denman, a master butcher, said, that upon going
to his door he found the prisoner with his arms extended

Mr. Yarrow, the churchwarden of Shoreditch, attended

of a gentleman residing in Throgmorton-street, who had
witnessed the prisoner's offensive conduct, and expressed
his readiness !n come, forward whenever his evidence'

Mr. HADiMILL considered :he could not properly deal

having the testim..ny of the gentleman referred to by
Mr. Yarrow, and truirefore ordered the" prisoner to be
brought urraptin upon that day week, to afford an op.
portunity foc his attendance, but expressed his readiness
in the mean time to accept substantial bail for his future
appearance, if he could find it.
An athletic young. man named James Wilkins was
next charged with committing a daring assault and
highway robbery upon the person of Mr. Samuel Man• '
ning, an a7ed and infirm gentleman, residing in Pa.triot-

The complainant stated that he was passing through

CLERK ENIV ELL.
Yesterday William Pitt, a young man, residing at 6,
Sumner-street, Clerkenweli, was charged with having
attempted to murder William Lucas, whose life is placed
in imminent danger.,
It appeared from the evidence of Moss, of the G divi-
sion, that yesterday morning about two o'clock, he re-
ceived information that a man had been stabbed on
Back-hill, near Hatton.garden. He proceeded there
r immediately. when he found a man bleeding from a
wound in his side, and on making inquiries he ascer-
tained that the prisoner had inflicted the wound with a
knife. He said that on the night before he went to bed
comfortably with his wife, and she got up while he was
asleep, and went out. On awakening and missing her,
he got up, dressed himself, and went to look after her,
and after watching for some time he saw her skipping
down Back-hill with William Lucas. They treated him
with levity and insult, when he (prisoner) took a knife
from his pocket and stabbed Lucas. The prisoner said
he returned instantly to his residence and threw the knife
out of the back window. Witness made search after the
knife and found it yesterday morning at eight o'clock.
He produced the knife. which was for the pocket, with a
long pointed blade. Witness caused Lucas to be taken
to the hospital, where the wound was dressed. The pri-
soner told witness that his wife had carried on an illicit
intercourse with Lucas, and he had found her with him
several times.

Moss produced a surgeon's certificate describing the
nature of the wound and pronouncing Lucas to be in
great danger.
Mr. CONDE asked the prisoner what he had to say.
Prisoner—l do not deny the charge. On Thursday
night, at nine o'clock, I went out with my wite. We re-
turned home and went to bed at eleven. I fell fast
asleep and awoke at two o'clock in the morning, when I
missed her from my side. I called for her but received
no answer. I got up, put on my clothes, and went out
to search after her. I stood at the door of a public-
house at the corner of Back-hill and Sunint.r-street
watching. At length I saw my wife with Lucas, who
had his arm around her waist, and they were dancing,
skipping, and singing together down the hill. I said,
Oh, it is you, is it? Lucas replied, Yes it is and be
d— to you! on which I took the knife out of my
r pocket and said, " Then take that," and I stubbed him.
Mr. Neville, livery-stable keeper, Blue Lion•yard,
Gray's Inn-road, said, he knew the prisoner, who had
been in his employ, to be a quiet industrious man, who
had been grossly abused and injured by Lucas. He had
seduced the aff -ctions of the prisoner's wite, and s-me
time ago he found them in a situati,n that removed all
doubts of the criminality- of their intercourse.
Mr. COMBE —The man is in danger. I must remand
the prisoner until his fate be made known.
