CLERKELV WELL.

George Johnson, a ruffianly-looking fellow, was
charged by Letitia Crook, the wile of a labourer, re-
siding in Bills-pond, Islington, with haviog brutally
ass lotted her.

The pro3ccutrix was shockingly bruised and muti-
late t about the head, face, and neck, and was in a very
weakly state. _

It appeared that on the previous day the prisoner,
who was drunk, quarrelled with the prosecutrix'a hus-
band, and made a desperate attack upon him. She in-
terfered to prevent inrthor violence, when the prisoner
struck her a tremendous blow on the head, continued
beating her, and whilst she lay on the ground he kicked
her repeatedly on the head end neck, until he h-ft her
apparently lifeless. The prisemer was -taken to the
station-house after a desperate resistance.
The prisoner, in his defence, said he was first attacked;
but this being contradicted, and the evidence of the
prosecutrix having been confirmed by several witne,,ses,
the prisoner was convicted in the extreme penalty of 51.,
or in default of payment two months' imprisonment iu
the House of Correct.on.
LAMBETH.

John Parry Hening, Henry Roberts, and Thomas Cro-
ton, persons who have for years been victimising the
public by representing themselves as the officers of a
sham society which they called the " Animils' Friend
Society," and obtaining subscriptions to a considerable
amount, were again paced at the bar before Mr. Norton,
when some further evidence was gone through, and the
pi hollers were again remanded.
7 HAMES.

Thomas Cooper, George Jones, William Pearce, and
Francis Peacock, noted burglars, were charged with
burglariously breaking and entering the dwelling-houses
and premises of several tradesmen and others iu White-
chapel, Bethnal-green, and' St. George's-in-the-East,
and stealing a large amount of property theretrom.
The prisoners have been repeatedly be!"ors the Court,
and have been already committed on two charges of
burglary on the premises of Mr. Cohen, wholesale
clothier and- outfitter, in Prescott-street, Whitechapel, on
the night of the 20th of AugUst, when they were detected
by two active officers of the H division, Kelly, No. 2,
and GifFerd, No. 89, who had seen the fellows loitering
about Mr. Cohen's premises for several n ghts previous,
and upon communicating with Mr. Steed, the bupri in-
tPndent of the H division, arranged their plans so well
that dirt Ctly after they entered Mr. Coben's ware-
house two of them were secured by the sergeant and
constable, who were also assisted by another officer
named VV igley, a stout, powerful man, who was concealed
in the house, and rushed tii..on them as they were quitting
the premises. The others were apprehended a few days
afterwards at a notorious flash house in Bethnal green,
where they were assembled with other thieves. Cooper
was apprehended on the 20;h inst.; a screwdriver was
found upon him of a peculiar construction, and upon its
being applied to the marks on doors, cupboards, and
drawers of houses which had been brbken ino and
plunderer!, it corresponded exactly. There was no doubt
all the prisoners bad been concerned in numerous
burglaries and robberies, and amongst others one at the
Weavers' Arms public-house, in, Baker-row, White-
chapel, where a yard dog was kille t, its brains being
dashed out by the burglars before they broke into the
tavern, and plundered it of property to a large amount.
A mass of circumstantial evidence. very skilfully ar-
ranged, was brought forward by Gifford, and
Wigley. All the prisoners were committed for trial for
the burglary at Mr. Cohen's. Cooper aid Jones were
likewise committed fur a burglary and robbery on the
premises of Mr. Abbot, horsehair manufacturer, of 4,
Anchor-street, Bethnal-green; and the same prisoners,
with Peacock, were sent for mai tor entering the shop of
Mr. Cannon in Rosemary-lane, and stealing 1001 b. of
totateco, and 28. i. in money.
Kelly and Giffird, wtio have broken up a most for-
mideble gang of burglars, said, there had not been a
single case of burglary in the, district since the prisoners
had been in custody, and were prepaied with six other
serious cases, but it was not considered necessary to go
into them.

GIRL LOST IN THE Mooias.—We have to notice
a most extraordinary case, to which some mystery at-
taches, and which seems to have been attended with
deplorable consequences. On Wednesday a young wo-
man, about eighteen or nineteen years of age, named
Isabelle Paton, daughter of Mr. D. Paton, of the Coast
Guard, Barghead, left St. Colmes, a village about four
miles to the east of Fraserburg h, with the intention of
proceeding to Penman, about seventeen miles distant. It
is not known at what time she left St. Colmee but she
did not reach Penman that evening. Oa the 'following
day she was met about a mile and a half from Pennan,
by the party to whose house she was going, and who
describes her as then " quite cheery and happy."
It will be remembered that this was the day on which
the heavy fogs of the week commenced ; and whether
she had lost her way in consequonce, or had gone out of
the road on purpose, it is not known ' • but it is most
probable that the former was the case. It is known that
on that day she purchased six pennyworth of bread from
a woman selling it by the way; ;but from that time till
Monday morning nothing was seen or heard of her. It
is conjectured that she had contiemed walking the whole
of Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, during which the
fog continued, and on which days, owing to the fig and
the nature of the country—which is wild bog and deep
glen—it would have been extremely difficult for her to
have made her way to any house. But whether she
walked on not, it is certain that, houseless
and unsheltered, she encountered all the fury
of the terrible thunder-storm of the Saturday-
evening—a thunder-storm which for violence has seldom
been exceeded, and expesure to which, in the circum-
stances in which the girl was placed, was not unlikely
permanently to injure the intellect, it it was not tar cted
previously. As we have said, she was found on Monday
morning. When discovered, she was -lying on the
moss at Kinbeam, tad was foueld by some of the
servants belonging to the farm. of that natne, which
situated on the property of Troup, in the parish of
Gamrie. Having been for six nights exp tsei to wind
and weather. and with, so far as known, no food, save
the sixpennyworth of bread alretviy mentiontd, she was
in a most dreadfully weak state. Her clothe;, which had
been drenched, had begun to dry upon- her, and her boots
were perfectly worn away -with \wandering in the moss.
The parties finding her immed ittely carried her to the
farm-butie Of Kinbeam, where every effort was wade to
restore her exhaueted frame. Wheel first got out she was
unable to speak, but, from some documents in her pos-
session, her name and the residence of her profits were
discovered, who were immediately communicated with.
It appears that she is so far recovered as to be -able to
speak, but it is evident that her mind is affected. At
times she takes fits of raving, and Oyes utterance to the
most extraordinary statements. These would seem to
indicate that she had met with ill treatment; but when
reminded of them in her lucid interval=, she refuses
all information. The case has niven rise to a good
deal of excitement in the neighbourhood.—Banffshire
Journal.
Paerrr KETTLE or Fisa.—Mr. Taggart, former
coroner of Rushee), now farms a part of l3allsdoole, and,
moreover, keeps a lot of pigs. An old practitioner in
the deep fisheries had prepared his long lines and hooks
for active service, placing them in an outbuilding of Mr,
Taggart's till the morning, after baiting each with her-
ring. By some carelessness the door of the building was
left open, and the Dip, scenting the tempting bait, en-
tered, when, 10l 100 good fat herrings lay before them !
" Here, is a glorious feast for us 1' exclaimed the old
mother of the herd, and at it they went, each pig seizing
a herring, unconscious of the concealed hook. But they
soon found that the stolen dainties, like the deceitful
baits of sin, contained within themselves the means of
punishing transgressions. The hooks were too large to
pass the gullet comfortably, so they become fastened in
the cheeks, tongues, and snouts of the swine, which
jumping around here and there in agony, tang'ed up
the lines into a perfect snarl. The pigs stood in a
circle facing inwards, tugging away lustily at the
lines, and thereby planting the hooks deeper and
deeper in their flesh. The squeaking and yell-
ing was most strep-rous. The outcry brought
all the women of the village to the !scene of uproar,
who, unable to see the lines from the darkness, concluded
'at once that the warlocks had possessed the swine, or
that the big barony., invisible to mortal eye, had .got
them by the legs, or the dark man himself, as once on
the coast of Gadarene, had entered them, and the women
soon expected to see them run violently down the deep
1 beach into the sea. But :.he hooks and lines would not
let the poor animals run; they were fairly caught, the
faithful hooks doing their duty just as if cong-rs and cud
were concerned. This frightened the females as c ell as
the swine, who set up a scream of terror and alarm ;
and what with pigs and women, such a discordant yell
never befere disturbed the quiet of that peace! ul village.
The outcry brought the men to the spot ; and the old
fisherman seeing the doleful plight of his hooks and
lines. was able to explain the whole mystery. By the
aid of knives the poor pigs were at length cut loose ;
but they departed from that haunted hovel with slit
tongues, gashed cheeks and lips, and bloody mouths ;
and it was resolved in their wounded community that
gig fish hooks, baited with real Maroc skedden, were no
