MARLBOROrIGH-STREET.

Emma Taylor, a woman of questionable character, was
charged before Mr. Hardwick with stealing from the person
If Mr. William Gordon, Princes-row, Pimlico, a silver-
watch, value 61.
The prosecutor stated. that about two o'clock that morn-
ing he was proceeding along Pall-mall, when the prisoner
came up to him and requested hint to treat her. He re-
fused to do so, and endeavouted to get quit of her company.
Sle still persisted in following him, and on atriving at
the corner of Sr. James's--quare she laid hold of his
coat and att,,mpted to detain him : whilst he was
struggling with her two men came up, and spoke
to her. She then ran away, followed by the men.
Prosecutor suspecting something was wrong by her pieeipi-
tat, retreat, felt for his watch, and was surprised to find that
It had been cut. clean from the guard-chain. Prosecutor
went in pursuit of the prisoner, and came up with her LI
Carlton-garden.. He taxed her with the robbery, which
she stoutly denied A police- constiode at that time came
up, into whose custody she was at once consigned.
Police-sergeant. 18 C, proved receiving c harge of the pri-
%onerand convey ing her to the ,tatiJn, where she Seas searched
by the female employed for that purpose, and the watch
found upon her.
The prisoner in defence said she was very drunk, and could
nor account for the watch being in her possessivn.
Mr. HARDwIcK committed her for trial.

Mr. Patrick O'Connor, son of Alderman O'Connor,
ex m.:yor and justice of the pace of Sligo, was charged
with using abusive and inultiug language and behaviour
to Mr. John Patrick Somers, M.P. for Sligo, calculated
to provoke a breach of the peace.
The circumstances which led to the wsrrant being
issued were stated in ()lir report of this court in our
wiper of yesterday. The complainant having recapitu-
lated his charge, and his evidence being corroborated by
that of other gentlemen who witnessed the atn,ir, the
magistrate called upon Mr. O'Connor for any answer he
might wish to make to the charge.
The defendant then entered into a multiplicity of
statements baring reference to pecunifnv and other
transactions with the complainant, who had been, ac-
cording to his assertion, upon terms of the greatest in-
titnac) with him.
BRODERIP, who had frecitiently been obliged to
interrupt, the defendant while attempting to &•tail cir•
cumstances that had no reference to the case before the
Court, ultimately adjudged him to give bail, himself in
1001., and two sureties in 501 each, to keep the peace for
twelve months.

In default of bail defendant was removed in custody.

THAMES.

A miserable looking young man, named Richard Scott,
was charged with earring on an illicit stilt at the
house, No. 11, Plummer's-row, the same being an un-
entered place.
From the evidence of Pargater and Key, both officers
of Excise, it appeared that from information they had
received they went to the above house, and knocked at
the door. It was opened by a female, and on entering
the back parlour they found a still at work throwing off
strong spirits. There were also 100 gallons of molasses
wash in the front room, and a bladder of spirits ap-
parently ready to be taken away. The prisoner, who
was in the room, denied all knowledge of the still, say-
ine, "ne was only a lodger ; " but he had his shirt
sleeves tucked up, and his trousers were perfectly satu-
rated with the wash.

The pri4oner in his defence again reiterated his inno-
cence, declarinz he was a spinner by trade.
Mr. BALLANTINE—Yt s ; a uinspinner apparently.

'The prisoner declared that as to the triiu...ers he had
bought them of a man named Jones, who had run away.
A sample of the spirits wits t reduced, and was appa-
rently of a most deleieitous nature.
The pri•oner was fined 301., and committed in default
for three montlis.

John Edwards was charged by Catherine Briggs, a mar-
ried woman, residing at No. 5, Briinswiek-street, St. George's
East, with having broken open a box and absmered a
pocket book and ticket for prize-money now due, amount-
ing to upward-. of 50L, the progeny of her husband, who has
lately returned to England in the Maria Soames, transport-
ship.
From her own statement, it appeared that she asked the
pris mer, whom she had never s-en before, to write a Inter
for her. He consented, and accompam, d her home ,or that
purpose. She then told him all her affairs, mentioning the.
prize-money, and that it as now due, and ,how,d
nt
wnere it was deposited, adding it was the am.;unt du) to her
husband, who had been a seaman on board her Map-sty's
ships Wasp, Slat., Prometheus, &c., f,r !lavers captured
•by th,,se vessels. Aft, r some little time, she wen,
out to get sonic tea, leaving the prisoner to the room with
her sister. Atter a few minutes had elapsed, the prisoner
said to her sister, " Ham you better go at.d meet Mrs.
Brigv," as I want her to mike haste back ;" adding, as an
inducement, that he would " stand tome gin and beer." To
this proposition she foolishly consented, and having met fur
sister, they both returned together, when as might have been
expected, the prisoner was gone, the box was broken open,
and. the pocket-book, prize-money, &c., gone too. Inf,rma-
don was given to the police, and the prisoner was sub-
seq uei tly apprehended.
On being searched the prize tickets produced were found in
his boots.

The prisoner made no defence, and was committed fur trial.

LAMBE., H.

Mr. James Loftus Brock, a half-pay lieutenant in the
army, was charged with attempting to murder his wife.
Mrs. Anti Brock deposed that she had been married
to the prisoner for upwards of 20 years, and ter the last
three years of the time his conduct towards her and his
family was of the most violent description. About three
years ago he formed an improper intimacy with a mar-
ried woman, and since then she and her family had not
enjoyed the slightest happiness, his manner had so
changed, and his conduct was so violent. On Tuesday
and Wednesday nights he stopped away, and did not
return until near ten o'clock on that morning. As soon
as he entered the room, he as usual commenced abusing
her, and his manner was such that she left the
room. Presently she returned up stairs, and was
in the act of preparing the dinner. when her
husband came behind her and made a stab at her on the
left side. Her eldest son at the instant pushed his arm,
so that the blow fell upon her left arm, and the blade of
the knife passed right through the fleshy part. Her
screams brought the landlord of the houso and other
persons to her assistance, and her husband was secured
by a policeman. The surgeon who had dressed the
wound said, that if she had been struck by the knife on
the place where the blow was aimed at, instantaneous
death must have been the result, as the instrument must
have penetrated the heart.
In reply to the questions from the Bench, the witness
said that her husband had evidently been drinking on
toe night before and on that mot fling, but still was per 7
fectly well aware of what he was about. He haJ fre-
quently told her he was determined to take her life, and
that he knew how to do it, by stabbing her close to the
firth rib.

The prisoner, who declined offering anything in de-
fence, was remanded to a future day.

It is understood that the Papal Government has
favourably received the plan fora line of railway from Ancona
to Milan, taking in its route Bologna, Modena, and Cremona,
and joining at Cremona a line long projected irom Milan to
Como, thence over the pass of Mount St. Bernard, or the
Splugen. To effect this passage which it appears is neces-
sary to carry out these undertakings in their full integrity,
Government engineers are now said to be employed in level-
ling the spot for a line of tunnelling in order to lessen the dis-
tance of the usual route. The valley of the Upper Rhine
from Chur is already surveyed by Constance. and the com-
munication from Zurich to Basle will soon be opened. The
route on each side of the Rhine will then conduct to a pro-
longation of the Great Luxemburg line, either by the Paris
and Strasburg, which joins it at Metz, or by the line joining
Trevea and Manheim ; and the decision of the Belgian Go-
vernment to make the direct railway from Brussels to Ghent
extends the'llreat Luxemburg in a continuous course to
Ostend.
