charge was not true, as he had two or three sovereigns
of his own in his pocket. Witness replier! that she saw
him place something in his waistcoat pocket, which sho
had no doubt was the sovereign stolen from her sister.
Witness then turned to Sulu, and told him that he had
made an attempt to steal something from her big. The.
prisoner dwnied the charge rudely; and, the attention of
the passengers having been by this time attracted to-
wards them, one of the gentlemen inside said the charge
had better be investigated at the station-houe.
Police-constable Jones, I) 37, said he was at the
Marylebone station at the time when tha charge was
brought. The prisoner Lawrence, when he got out of
the omnibus, walked into the station, but went back im-
mediately, saying he wanted to pay the omnibus. Hav-
ing paid the conductor, he was brought into the station-
house and searched. In his waistcoat pocket were found
a sovereign and a half i. g,dd. On his person were
found some keys and t.vo diamond rings, one of some
value. On Sultz were found several sovereigns.
Police-constable, 1) 37, stated that the prisoners were
both known to the police. Sultz hsd a certificate on him
from the surgeon of th r Penitentiary, to the effect that
the prisoner had a b9d leg, and could not be put to hard

Mr. BINGHAM asked Miss Julia liammoni if she was
sure she had a sovereign in her purse when she got Into
the omnibus? Miss Hammond said, she was positive

The prisoners, who h a profes,inual adviser, de-

WORSHIP-STREET.

Mr. John Johnson, a licensed victualler in the City-
road, appeared before Mr. Arnold upon a warrant,
charged with having, in conjunction with another person
not in custody, committed the following violent assault
upon Mr. Thomas Watson, a tradesman residing in the
same neighbourhood:—
The complainant, who, notwithstanding about a week
had elapsed since the occurrence, had one of his eyes
terribly cut and contused, stated, that having occasion to
enter the parlour of the defendant's house for the pur-
pose of procuring refreshment on the evening of the 3d
instant, an altercation arose between them regarding a
document he had taken off the table, and momentarily
held possession of in satisfaction of a sovereign due to
him, in the course of which the defendant attempted to
wrest the paper from him, and, having failed in so doing,
was immediately succeeded in the attempt by a friend
of his, who rushed at him, and seizing him by the
throat, thrust his fingers into his mouth with such
brutal roughness, that not only was the back of his
mouth seriously lacerated, but one of the strings of his
tongue was actually snapv,d in two. Not satisfied with
this degree of violence, he (the complainant) was then

with which his arm came into such violent contact that

ilwtorswitsatts'he use of it for several days; and he was finally
struck such a terrible blow upon one of his eyes that he
instantly dropped to the ground in a state of total insen
sibility, in which he remained for a considerable time,
and his first notion of recovery from which was finding
himself seated in a chair, and being roughly shaken by
some of the persons present ; upon Ishich the defendant,
on seeing he had rega'ncd his sons-•s, -renewed the attack
by striking him a violent blow on the side of his head,
and was proceeding to fort her ill• treatment, when he was
rescncd from his violence by a gentleman in the room,
who interposed in his behalf; and facilitated his escape
from the premises.
Mr. Thritage, who at'-ended for the defence, addressed
the magistrate on behalf of his client, contend rig that the
plaintiff had brought the whole the injuries he had
received upon himself by his own misconduct, and called
a person named Crawford, from whom it appeared th =t
the deleadant had some time since advanced a consid- r-
able sum of money to an acquaint inc, of the com-
plainant, tor which the latter (mt.:aged to b- answerable,
and gave the defendant an IU U for the amount. I. was
this I 0 U which was the cause of the con:ention

parlour on the night in quesii•=l:, nil ite
adverting to the value of his acceptoce, the former
positively denied that any stic) doe,titie,t was in
coop, and dared him to produce it ; upon a li,eh the
defendant did so, and laid it ua.ti the table, but it was
in-•bntly snatched up by the complainant, who retreated
with it to the end of the room, aid attempted to
swallow it ; that a friend of the defendant, upon wit-
nessing this action, iinmeihately seized Mr. Watson
by the throat to prevent it, and that a violent struLfgle
thereupon ensued between them for the possession of the

received all the injuries he complained of ; no blow
whatever having been struck by either of them, and the
force used towards Mr. Watson being no more than was
absolutely necessary to prevent his swallowing die I 0
which he was sworn positively to be apparently doing at
the time. _ _

The complainant energetically declared that there was
not the slightest foundation for the insinuation conveyed
in the defence set up ; but
Mr. ARNOLD said that it was impossible for him to
come to a satisfactory adjudication on a case in which
such serious ill- usuge was sworn to on one side and SO
totally denied on the other, and, as it was manifestly a
matter on which a jury alone could determine, he should
send the case to the sessions, and order the defendant to
put in bail to the extent of 50/. to answer the charge.
The bail was immediately found, and the defendant
thereupon liberated.
Julia McCartiu y, a servant-of-all-work, was charged
with assaulting her master, Mr. Hass, a master tin-
manufacturer, of No. 2, Middlesex-street, Spital-square.
The complainant, who is of the Jewish persuasion,
and whose head and face were literally e,.vered with
plaister, and his left arm in a sling, stated that he arrived
home on Wednesday evening, at about half past eight
o'clock, with his three sons, from the Synagogue, when
he found his wife, who is near her confinement. outside
the door, and being supported by two strangers, the cause
of which, he learnt, was the conduct of the prisoner.
who had threatened to " knife her." He went into the
parlour of his house, where the prisoner stood, but she
had no sooner seen him than she snatched up the two
candlesticks which were upon the table, and before he
could prevent it, she struck him violently on the head with
each of them. He fell, and she then bit him in the arm,
and tore the flesh through the coat and shirt. The com-
plainant here showed a deep and dang•-rous wound in
the sinewy part of his arm. The defendant was the
worse for liquor.
Mrs. Hass stated that the prisoner was sent out with
the youngest child to feed it. It was the Jews' Pas,over,
and the bread they eat themselves daring that period
was not fit food for infants. It was therefore the prac-
tice among the Jewish parents to have the younger
children led from home on these oc._!asi.,ns. When she
came home she had evidi ntly been drinking, and during
the day had procu-ed more drink. Witrii.sc remonstrated
with her, but she was answered with the vilest abuse. anti
at length the prisoner snatched up a table-knife and
swore she would "do for her with it."
The prisoner here expressed, lou.l enough to b, heard
by several persons near the dock in which she was stand-
ing, her regret that she had not done it.
Mr. 3rtot:Girrost said he should s. ad her to prison;
but she must be brought up again next week.
