SOUTH WARK.

Two powerful-looking fellows, named John Ma-
carthy and William Conolly, were charged with as-
saulting James Lay, and stealing from his person the
sum of five shillings and a halfpenny, under the fol-
lowing circumstances.
The prosecutor said that he was a sailor, and re-
cently paid off from the Gorgon frigate. On the pre-
vious evening he met with an old sweetheart, and
proceeded with her to the King's Head public-house,
Tooley-street, where they partook of sundry glasses
of grog. The prisoners were drinking in the front of
the bar, and several times attempted to quarrel with
him, but he kept at a distance from them. Shortly
before twelve o'clock he left the house, and parted
with the female, but he had not proceeded many yards
before some person came behind him and struck him a
severe blow on the head. Macarthv then struck him
another blow, and put his hand in his right hand
trousers pocket, from which he took ss. The other
prisoner then came up and knocked him down, put
his hand in his left hand pocket, and stole therefrom a
halfpenny and a card. Prosecutor called out lustily
for assistance, and before the police could arrive, the
prisoners made their escape, but were pursued and
taken into custody.
Police-constable 250 M said that shortly before

twelve o'clock on the preceding night he heard cries
of " stop thief" proceed from that part of Tooley-
street near the King's Head, and on going to the spot
he saw the prosecutor lying on the ground. He told
him that he had been robbed, and described the per-
sons who had committed the outrage. Witness then
went in pursuit, and took Macarthy into custody.
On the spot where the prosecutor was robbed wit-
ness found the card which had been abstracted from
his pocket. The other prisoner was afterwards taken
into custody by another constable.
In answer to the charge, the prisoners said that
they did not commit any robbery upon the prosecutor.
They had some words outside the house, and after-
wards had a scuffle together.
The prosecutor said that the 53. was safe when he
left the house. He denied having any words with
them in the street.

Mr. COTTINGIIAM said it was a most daring rob-
bery. There was not the least doubt that they laid
in wait for the prosecutor, believing him, like most
sailors to, to be flush of money, and as soon as he get
into a dark part of the street they pounced upon him
and robbed him. The evidence was so clear that he
should commit them for trial.

Ann Afabley, a girl thirteen years of age, was
charged with stabbing Richard Sparrowhall, a lad
nine years old, in the face with a knife.

It appeared that about ten o'clock that morning
the lad was passing along Bermondsey-street, when
the prisoner came up to him, exhibiting a knife she
held in her hand, and asked him how he should like

•
to have his head cut off. The boy replied that he
should not like it all, and told her to keep away from
him. She, however, touched him on the shoulder
with the handle of the knife. The boy then turned
round and struck her on the breast, when she ran up
to him and stabbed him in the face with the point of
the knife. She then ran away ; but some of the pas-
sengers perceiving the assault and the blood flowing
from the boy's face, stopped her, and gave her into
custody. When asked by one of the witnesses what
induced her to stab the lad, she replied that she did
not stab him, neither had she a knife in her posses-
sion; but when the constable came up she pulled the
weapon from her pocket, and handed it to him.
Police-constable 159 M said that he took the lad to
a surgeon's, when it was discovered that he had re-
ceived a stab on the left cheek-bone, near the eye.
The wound was very slight, but the surgeon informed
him that if it had been inflicted an inch higher, he
must have been deprived of sight.
The prisoner, who cried during the examination,
Said it was quite an accident. She acknowledged
asking him whether he would like to have his head
cut off, but it was quite a joke.
Mr. COTTINGIIAM—How came you with the knife
in your hand ? Prisoner—lt is a knife I found, and
used it for paring my nails, as my mistress is parti-
cular about their cleanliness. I was doing so at the
time, when I thought I would have a joke with the
little boy, but he struck me, and I returned the blow,
but had no intention of hurting him. I am extremely
sorry at having done so.
The mother of the girl stepped forward and said
that the prisoner was very playful, but she never
knew her to be mischievous. She did not know that
she was possessed of a knife.
The MAGISTRATE said he was inclined to believe
that the stab was inflicted accidentally, but he hoped
this would be a caution to her for the future, as it

was quite a miracle that a serious injury had no!
been inflicted. She seemed sorry for what she ha
u
done, therefore he should order her to be given up t°
her mother.

DISCOVERY OF ABOVE ONE
THOUSANDH POUNDS WORT OF JEWELLERY.
It may be in the recollection of our readers that on
the 13th of March last a fiat in bankruptcy was issued
against David Elwin Colombine, of Carlton Chambers'
Regent-street, and Cecil House, Brompton, the soli-
citor of the defunct scheme known as the London and
Exeter
Direct Railway Company, and also connected
with the aerial ship and other speculations. 1115
debts exceeded 17,3001., and the assets were of a
doubtful extent, as the bankrupt has contested
the proceedings at every sta,,e, with the view of ulti•
mately getting the
,fiat annulled. In the meantime
the
offers he made to creditors varied from 2s. 6d. to
7s. 6d. in the pound, but they were all rejected, and
the bankrupt compelled, after some delay, to surren-
der to the fiat.
Mr. Hamber, the messenger of the Court of Bank-
ruptcy, took possession of the lodge in Cecil-grove,
the bankrupt's residence, which is most superbly furo
'
nished and decorated, and a day was fixed upon t
turn the effects into money by means of thea
tioneer's hammer ; but when the day of sale arrived,
the bankrupt served the parties with an injunction
granted by the Lord Chancellor, on the ground that
under a
the property belonged to the bankrupt's wife,
deed of marriage settlement. The valuable furniture,
Szc., therefore, still remains where it was.
The assignees, however, have recovered trinkets,
watches, and jewellery of various descriptions, of t r
value of above 5001. in the most singular moue. •
The bankrupt, it appears, at first proceeded to Varl9l
where he disposed of his carriage and horses, the
afterwards went to Germany, taking with London,to'
jewellery in question. Upon his return to ._
he deposited the parcel in a well known I,ollo'
tavern, giving strict orders to the waiter not to
,le.t
any party but himself have access to it. The mye.t_e.,
suspici.oeli
rious manner of the bankrupt induced some
that all was not right, and the valuables were d
over to the City police superintendent. APPlhiCianttiFo
was made by Colombine to this functionary for the
restoration of the jewels, but he refused to part po .
session with them unless the applicant gave his real
name and address, and explained the circumstances 6
which induced him to deposit them at the tavern intn
false name. Colombine finding that his stratagee,
could not longer succeed by keeping his alsure__.e.
character, declared his name and address. The
perintendent at once remembered that he was a bank,
Goulburn, to whom he detailed the circ band
rupt, and proceeded forthwith to Mr. Commissioner
and that Learned Gentleman directed him
over the whole of the jewellery to Mr. Hatuhteor',:lj
it is now in the safe keeping of Mr. Green, the ow
assignee.instructed
After this disclosure Mr. Hamber was til
to use his utmost vigilance in tracing out au9 es_ be
property that was concealed, and for that purpo. ere.
went to Boulogne, whither the bankrupt
paired. At that place he found a number 01Ifflictiri::
and packages, containing a valuable piano ort_e_,2,
Broadwood, a number of pictures, and other c
deds been
tions of property, above 5001. value, which had
removed by the bankrupt. Mr. Hamber imule tt.elY
he
claimed them on behalf of the assignees,untilbuit
French authorities declined to give them up
en,
had been decided by a suit at law that they were,ere
titled to take possession of them. Proceedings NNthe
accordingly instituted in the French Court, in.
names of the assignees, and the suit is still pencil._
While Mr. Hamber was staying
person waited upon him and stated that he la,
give him some valuable information, on being pal • n
This offer was declined, but subsequently a sovereq _
was presented to the informer, who disclosed thi!tir,
at Boulogniii3
had been employed to act as an interpreter for Colourve
bine, and had accompanied the bankrupt to the °A to
of the French Advocate, who had been instructed
deposit some money belonging to the bankrtl, Pt+ lo
Adam's bank, at Boulogne. Mr. Hamber le '',11,,,
time in going to the bank, and found, upon inqu„;,v
that the information was correct. The neces,'fiie
steps were taken to recover the deposits, arldhe'ea
bankrupt, a few minutes after the notices had —be
served, entered the bank to cash a cheque, wil all hid
found to his chagrin and mortification, that Ai,
cash had been attached for the benefit of his creilAiss
tors. Another quantity of valuable propertla the
been discovered at a west-end repository, an 0P
greatest credit is due to Mr. Hamber, the tnesserg,2
for the zeal and perseverance he has displayed throu
out the matter.
