Yesterday the sitting magistrate, Mr. Broughton,
gave his decision in the following case, which was
looked upon as a matter of considerable importance to
railway companies and the public generally.
Mr. S. Clarke, chief superintendent of the Great
Western Railway, was now in attendance, as was also
Mr. Justins, from the firm of Maples, Stevens, and
Co., Old Jewry.
The defendant in the affair was Mr. Richard Par-
ker, a well-known carrier of New Inn, Old Bailey,
who was summoned to this court on Wednesday, the
6th inst., under the 168th section of 5 and 6 William
IV., cap. 107, for the offence of having, on the 29th
of September last, unlawfully sent or caused to be
sent by the said railway goods of a dangerous quality,
viz., a box containing 421 b. weight of lucifer matches,
and did not distinctly mark or state the nature of such
goods on the outside of the package containing the
same, or otherwise give notice in writing to the book..
keeper or other servants of the company with whom
the same were left at the railway station at Padding-
ton, for which neglect he had rendered himself
amenable to a penalty of not less than 101. A dis-
covery of what was in the box was made by one of
the company's porters shortly after the package was
received at the station for transmission to Newbury.
The answer made by the defendant was, that from
the immense number of boxes, &c., forwarded to his
yard from all parts of town, and from the hurry of
business which thereby took place, it was quite im-
possible for him or his servants at all times to take
such pains as could be wished, with the view of ascer-
taining whether packages entrusted to his care were
filled with dangerous goods or not ; such was the case
in the present instance, and he begged to state that
his anxious desire was that everything connected with
his establishment should be conducted in an honour-
able and proper manner.
Mr. Bitoucirrox, in giving his decision yesterday,
carefully reviewed the case in all its bearings, and
having, after mature consideration, come to the con-
clusion that the offence alleged against the defendant
had not been proved, the summons was accordingly
dismissed.

WORSHIP-STREET.
Yesterday, a woman named Ann Hill was charged
with committing the following violent and unprovoked
assault upon Mrs. Jane Jackson, the wife of a gun-
smith in Well-street, Whitechapel.
The complainant stated that while proceeding to-
wards home through Commercial-street, Spitalfields,
at eight o'clock on the previous evening, accompanied
by her mother, the prisoner, who was an entire
stranger to her previously, came up, and accosting
her in the most disgusting language, accused her of
stealing the infant she had In her arms, with the in-
tention of murdering it—the child being her own
child, and the youngest of six. She was so over-
come by such an infamous accusation and the positive
manner in which it was made, that she could not in-
stantly reply to it; and without allowing her time to
do so the prisoner struck her such a violent blow on
the face, that she and her infant were both felled to
the ground. The child fortunately escaped any seri-
ous injury by falling on its mother, but the witness's
head came into such violent contact with the edge of
the kerbstone that she was completely stunned, and
lay there senseless for several minutes, when the in-
stant she was restored to consciousness the prisoner
renewed the attack, declared to a large mob whom
her outrageous conduct had collected round them
that the witness was a woman of loose character,
whom she had known twelve years before as fre-
quenting houses of an infamous description, and
earnestly assured the crowd that she had been for
a long time past in the habit of procuring a
living entirely by kidnapping little children. The
indignation of the mob against her on hearing this de-
claration was extreme, and though she assured them
and the prisoner herself that they were mistaken, as
she had only been in town a few years, they did not
appear to believe her, and she was hastening away to
escape further molestation, when the prisoner again
caught hold of her, and grasped her round the throat
with such violence that she was nearly black in the
face, and with difficulty escaped strangulation. A
policeman, however, fortunately came up at the
moment, and, having rescued her from the fangs of
the prisoner, carried the latter off to the police-
station.

' The complainant's mother, an elderly respectable-
' looking widow, corroborated the evidence of her
daughter, and stated, that upon endeavouring to un-
deceive the prisoner by assuring her, as was really
the fact, that the complainant and her husband had
only lately come from the country, the prisoner
abused her in the most infamous manner, declared
that she was no better than her daughter, that she
had been leading an abandoned life for more than
twenty years, and menaced her with personal vio-
lence. She assured the magistrate that her daughter
was what she appeared to be, a modest, well-con-
ducted married woman, who was endeavouring in the
most praiseworthy manner to support her family by
her own industry, her husband having been for
several weeks confined to his bed by sickness.
When called upon for her defence, the prisoner,
whose features bore the stamp of confirmed drunken-
ness, said that whilst passing quietly through the
street the complainant either jostled or was pushed
forcibly against her, which, as it appeared to be done
purposely, induced her to retaliate, and that, al-
though she had certainly been drinking rather freely,
the evidence of both witnesses was grossly exagge-
rated.
Mr. HAAIMILL, however, told her it was beyond a
doubt that she had been guilty of a most scandalous
and unprovoked outrage, and he regretted that the
circumstances of the complainant and her husband
precluded his sending the charge to the sessions ; but,
as such a course would only entail additional annoy-
ance upon those who had suffered enough already, he
should adjudicate summarily upon the case, by order-
ing her to pay the full penalty of 51., or, in default,
two months' imprisonment in the House of Correc-
tion ; and, at the expiration of that term, she must
furthermore find two substantial sureties for her good
and peaceable behaviour for the succeeding three
months.
The MAGISTRATE also ordered some pecuniary as-
sistance to be furnished to the complainant from the
funds of the poor-box, which the poor woman thank-
fully received, and the prisoner, who was unable to pay
the penalty, was carried off in the van.
IVESTMINSTER.
On Monday morning, between five and six o'clock,
Mr. Bellchambers, a gentleman residing at 44, Wil-
ton street, Vincent-square, was discovered, within a
few yards of his own residence, lying on thepave-
ment, weltering in his blood, which flowed copiously
from several wounds in his head. lie was conveyed
to his house in a state of utter insensibility, in which
lamentable condition he has remained ever since.
On an examination of his person, it was found that
he had been robbed of a valuable watch, the contents
of a cash bag, and his hat; and information having
been given to the police, Mr. Taylor, an inspector of
the B division, exerted himself to the utmost to bring
to justice the perpetrators of this murderous outrage.
After diligent inquiry, he ascertained that Mr. Bell-
chambers, who was the principal engineer at the ex-
tensive marble works in Esher-street, Millbank, had
taken some refreshment at a public-house in Orchard-
street, which is the resort of persons of bad character,
where some circumstances occurred that left no doubt
that he had been waylaid on his return home by a
gang of thieves, and wounded and plundered in the
manner described.

In consequence of some circumstances which came
to his knowledge Mr. Taylor apprehended two per-
sons, who were yesterday placed at the bar before
Mr. Burrell, the inspector intimating that he would
only go into sufficient evidence to justify a remand.
The accused, who gave their names Georgellf‘Kay
and Thomas Doyle, were two determined, power-
ful-looking fellows, who are stated to be known to
the police.
Mr. Henry Frederick Holt, surgeon, of 30, Abing-
don. street, Westminster, stated that at about seven
o'clock on Monday evening he was sent for to see
Mr. Bellchambers. On going to his house he found
him in bed, and quite insensible. Both his eyes were
very much blackened. There was a cut on his right
temple a slight wound on his right cheek, and a cut
upon his left eye. Witness dressed his wounds and
again visited him at eleven in the evening, when he
found him still insensible andunable to speak. At four
in the morning he again visited the injured gentleman,
bled him, and ordered him to be cupped. He was in
a very dangerous state, and continued so up to the
moment of witness coming to that Court. He was,
indeed, in so dangerous a condition that he (Mr. Holt)
should not be at all surprised if he were dead by the
time he returned to his house after thed th ere investigation.Nvas
He had been in a great many fits during that morn-
ing, which were very bad symptoms, a
n
very little doubt that he was dying.

stick or something of that kind. He had lost a quan-
tity of blood from the wounds. Mr. Bellchambers
had spoken once since he had been under his care, but
went off again immediately and remained in the same
insensible state.
William Meyers, an assistant at the King's Head,
Orchard-street, Westminster, said that about two
o'clock on Monday morning last Mr. Bellchambers
came into the house and offered Mr. Brees (supposed

to be the landlord), who was in the bar, a pinch of
snuff, which the latter took from his box. Mr. Brees
then invited Mr. Bellchambers to come into the bar, as
there were some bad characters in the house, and he
(Mr. Bellchambers) might hove something about him
he might lose. Mr. Bellchambers accepted the invitation
and went into the bar. Shortly after this, whilst wit-
ness wad serving in the bar, the prisoner Kiley,

who was one of the people in front of the counter,
and who was in company with another man, asked
witness if he knew the gentleman who was behind
the bar. fitness replied " Yes," when M‘Kay and
his companion both said that Mr. Bellchambers had got
something in his hand (supposed to be the cash bag)
they should like to have. Miliay's companion added,
" that he would not do anything to the person (Mr.
Bellchambers) while he was there, because it would
get the house in trouble." M'Kav and his companion
were then joined by another man in a plaid shawl, and
partook of some ale. M'Kay then went out with
Doyle and the two other men spoken of. They re-
turned in about five minutes, and M`Ray called for
a pot of ale. Suddenly there was a noise in the house,
and Doyle struck a woman. Mr. Brees then left
the bar to turn the woman out. Whilst he was so
engaged, the man in the plaid shawl, who had tare•
viously been refused admission by Brees, slipped mats
the bar and spoke to Mr. Bellchambers. Brees obe
observing this, told witness to look out, a
there was something going on wrong (in al-
lusion to the man with the plaid shawl being in
the bar). After a minute or so, witness went into
the bar, when Mr. Bellchambers said, " I know this
man ; I have lent him a shilling now and then, and
have lent him one now." Mr. Bellchambers and the
man were then in conversation for some time, at the
conclusion of which the man asked him to accompany
him and have some coffee. Mr. Bellchambers inquired
which way he was going, when the man observed,
"towards Charing-cross ;" and Mr. Bellchambers
having stated that he was going in a contrary direc-
tion, the man left, and shortly afterwards, at about S
quarter past four o'clock, Brees closed the house.
Brees had previously told Mr. Bellchambers that be
had better stop and see the other parties out first, for
they were queer characters, and recommended him to
see that everything he had was right, and to tuck his
watch in. Mr. Bellchambers, on leaving, said he 108
all right, and, in witness's opinion, he was perfect',"
capable of taking care of himself. When he left it
was about five o'clock in the morning.
The prisoners, who denied all knowledge of the
robbery, were remanded until Thursday week.
SOUTHWARK.
In the course of yesterday the daughter of Mrs.
Hughes, a coffee-shop-keeper in the Waterloo-road,
against wham a summons was heard on Monday, for
detaining several articles of wearing apparel, the pro..
perty of Elizabeth Newlyn, attended for the purpose
of contradicting a great portion of the statement wade
by the latter person in describing her case to the me'
gistrate on the day on which the summons came os
for hearing. The applicant said that Elizabeth New'
lyn had left Winchester to live with the man Pears°
as his housekeeper in town, and that they both in-
curred the debt at the coffee-shop in the Waterloo'
road, and attempted to leave the place without settling
their account. The report which appeared in the news'
papers was calculated to injure the applicant, who Iva°
a widow, having a family to support, in her business+
and it could be satisfactorily proved that the wonie4
(Newlyn) clothes were detained for just debts she Had
contracted, and were ready to be delivered up the 012:
inent the bill was liquidated. Although it might
appear from Newlyn's statement that she had been
hardly dealt with by Mrs. Hughes, still the reverse
was the case, and the latter had documents to prof!
that no advantage whatever was taken of her, altholl
she said the man with whom she cohabited had acted
throughout with such deception.
Mr. COTTINGHAM said that he had no power over
the newspapers, and he did not see the account alluded
a
to, but that he must say the reports which appeare
in the daily papere from that court were alvirsl4
written, in his estimation, with fairness and impart
tiality, and, having disposed of the case in questi°'
to the best of his judgment, he could render applicslit
no assistance.
