hensive that some children playing in the road, of whom
little Bland was one, would be killed, he called
cro!tt...
loudly upon him to stop. Witness thought he misa!
have done so had he chosen, but the prisoner took n:
notice of the caution, went on at the same pane 11_,
before, and the next instant the child was struck doWu
and the off wheel of the cart passed over its body.
Several persons who had witnessed the occurrence en-
deavoured to step the horse, but the prisoner thrashed _l.!
violently, and it was not until a considerable time after'
wards that he was at length secured by a rang man
d
named Newell, who had perseveringly pursued him, an
I gave him into custody.
A boy named Page, who was playing with little Bland
at the time, saw the cart coming upon them at an
fetXe;
tremely rapid pace, and called out to the prisoner. a
he had passed them, that he had run over his brothel.;
upon which the prisoner 'poked back, exclaimed, " l'4
pooh! nonsense!" lashed his horse, and drove on 'I
before.
Anne Martin also deposed to calling upon the
pri-
soner to stop, and that he merely looked aside towards,
her, drove on, and the wheel instantly passed over t"
child.
James Bland, the boy's father, deposed to pickiagog
the child in great agony, and carrying him to the Lend
Hospital, and Sarah Bland, his mother, proved that 14°1;
visiting him that morning in the hospital, she form
him so injured he could scarcely recognise her, and, the
the nurse who attended him had but slight hopes of
recovery.

A certificate from Mr. Nash, the hospital er;g:-t
.0
was also put in, describing the nature of the
the boy had sustained, and stating him to be in e°
siderable danger.
When called upon for his defence, the prisoner el"
wpressed excessive regret at the unfortunate occurrence'
hich he declared to have been purely accidental.s.,_ ;-
said that he had no idea whatever that he had (lon
over anybody, and was greatly surprised and hurt Olea'
he was informed that he had in reality done so.

Mr. BROUGHTON regarded the transaction in a es' ted
serious light, and ordered the prisoner, who was, s—„eit
to be respectably connected, to be brought up again Mv.
week, to afford time for ascertaining the result of the 1
uries the child had sustained.
CLERKEN WELL. mangy
William Birt, a respectable-looking middle-age
was finally examined, charged with having commit'
ed t
numerous robberies.
It appears that the prisoner for some time past '1
been committing his depredations on boarding-gilt,
keepers, upon whom he called under pretence of inclal'o
ing as to the terms for the board and education of„h,
young ladies ; and invariably, after leaving the estab"s„
ments, gold watches and other valuable articles wie":
missed. On Wednesday last he paid a visit to 3r'ri
Lydall, of Tyndars•place, Islington, and stole pair of
spectacles, and an article of silver plate. Be „,
