The aunt and cousin in part confirmed her testimony.
The prisoner was cornrni;te.l t,,r
Daniel [Caddy, a barman, in the service of Mr.
Payne, landlord of the Black Boy public• house, in
Whitecross•street, was placed at the bar, before Mr.
Combe, under the following singular circumstances :
It appeared that certain circumstances having induced
the prosecutor to suspect the barman of robbery, on
last Sunday morning he searched the prisoner's box ;
at first the prisoner refused to allow it, but eventually
consented, Shen Mr. Payne discovered, scattered about
the bottom of it, upwards of 200 sovereigns. He ques-
tioned him closely, but the prisoner refused to render
him the slightest information. A constable at length
being sent for he said that one morning, a long time
ago, as he was passing the Bank of England, he picked
up a bag containing 180 sovereigns, opposite the large
door going towards Cornhill. . .

-
The prisoner—l did pick up 1801. right opposite the
Bank of England in September, 1845. There was no
ground for Mr. Payne's suspicion.
The officer who had the prisoner in custody said, the
prisoner's statement with respect to his mode of becoming
possessed of the money found in his box, must be false,
because no less than twenty-five of the sovereigns were
of the coinage of 1847. and consequently could not have
been picked up in 1845.
The prisoner said those coins might have formed a
part of the money he received as wages.
Mr. Vickers, who kept the Black-boy before Mr.
Payne took it, stated that the prisoner had been in his
service for seven months, and during that time he
seemed to be in want of money, as, whenever he went
out for a holiday, he always asked for a small sum in
advance. He never saw anything in the prisoner's con-
duct to induce him to suspect his honesty.
The prisoner was remanded.
Mr. COMBE said that, under all the circumstances
of the case, he should accept the prisoner's own recogni-
zances in the sum of 2001. for his appearance.

EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE ON ASSAULT.—George
Henry Destrabogi Neviile Plantagenet Harrison, Esq.,
13, Verulam-buildings, Brigadier-General, Peru, Argen-
tina, Uruguay, and Yutacan, &c., was placed before Mr.
Bingham, charged by Richard Leslie Dundas, Esq., with
violently assaulting him.
The complainant on being sworn, said, lam a major
in the army, and reside at No. 27, Panton-street. On
Tuesday between the hours of eight and nine, I was
asleep in bed, when I was awoke by the defendant break-
ing into my room. Directly he had entered he came to
my bedside and in a furious manner addressed me, and
presenting his card demanded to know why I had tra-
duced the characters of certain young ladies. I replied,
that I certainly did not do any such things. Noticing
something in the defendant's accent, I asked him if
he was an Englishman. He said he was, and that if I
did not give him a written paper, denying
that assertion, he would flog me with his stick.
I told him if he attempted to strike me,
I would do my best to hand him down stairs. He then
demanded to know if I was a gentleman. I said yes, I
am an officer in the army. I then requested him to sit
down and compose himself for a few minutes. He re-
tused, and immediately made a rush at me, and whilst
my head was on the pillow struck me several blows with
a thick walking cane. I got up and defended myself the
best way I could, but the defendant followed me up so
closely that I was obliged to call for assistance. Subse-
quently some gentlemen who lodged in the same house
came to my aid, and the prisoner was given into
custody.
Mr. Ballantine, who appeared for the defendant, said
that as the case would probably be carried to the ses-
sions, he should decline offering any remarks or calling
any witnesses.
Mr. BINGHAM said the case of assault had been proved
against the defendant. It was a case that he could not
adjudicate himself. He should therefore send it to the
quarter sessions, and hold the defendant to bail in two
sureties of 1001. each, and himself in the sum of 2001.,
for his appearance.
