CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
OLD COURT.

(Before Baron ALDIRSON.)
Charles Brown, aged 38 years, described as a plumber, who
was found guilty yesterday of uttering a forged acceptance
to a bill of exchange for 2281. 155., with intent to defraud
William Patrick Gray, was brought up to-day for judgment.
Baron ALDEusoN, in passing sentence, said that as the
prisoner had not obtained any money by means of the forged
instrument, and as he had received a good character, he
would not inflict the full penalty of his offence, and instead
of transporting him, sentenced him to two years' imprison-
ment and hard labour.

Lydia Basset', —,;;;Idow, aged 50, and Louisa Norris, a
spinster, aged ?8, were placed at the bar, charged, the former
with feloniously uttering to the Paymaster-General a docu-
ment purporting to be a declaration and certificate of the
identity of one Frances Laudon Guiltery, as the widow of one
James Gniltary, and entitled, as such widow, toa sum of money
as a pension, with the interest, to defraud her Majesty the
Queen, and Norris with feloniously inciting, procuring, and
ailing her to do so, and commit the said felony.
The prosecution against the latter prisoner was not pressed,
but the former pleaded Guilty.
Baron ALDERSON, in passing sentence, said, that the con-
duct of the prisoner was most culpable, and calculated,
though he hoped it would not have that effect, of defeating
the charitable intention of the Government, and inducing
them to discontinue such pensions as they had heretofore
granted. He would certainly transport her but for her age.
The sentence of the Court was, that she should be imprisoned
for three years, and kept to hard labour.

WORSHIP-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)
This morning two young men, brothers, named Henry
Farr and Chapies Farr, were brought before Mr. Broughton.
for re-examination, charged with stealing a cash-box, con-
taining gold, Bank notes, and securities, amounting to up-
wards of 2301., the property of Mr. James Bird, landlord of
the Mail Coach Tavern, Kingsland-road. The prosecutor
stated, that the prisoner, Henry Farr, had been in his service
as a potman for about three weeks, antecedent to Easter
Sunday last; but he absconded on the afternoon of that day.
The cash-box, which he had left safe in the cupboard of the
bar parlour, had disappeared. Information was given to the
police, and it was ascertained that the other prisoner, who
had filled a similar situation to his brother in the Edgeware-
road, had also absconded the same evening. The wife of the
prosecutor, whilst passing down Fleet-street, observed them
both seated in a cab, and she called out to the driver to stop
the vehicle. On hearing the alarm, the prisoner, Henry Farr,
dashed open the door, and darting across the road, effected
his escape, but the other was given into custody. From the
statement of the cabman, it appeared that he had taken them
up on their arrival from the country, at the Euston-square
terminus, and they had with them carpet bags and a large
bundle, well stocked with male attire. City police-constable
Smith, 337, searched the prisoner, and found in his
possession three sovereigns and a quantity of
silver, amongst which was a sixpenny piece, marked
in a peculiar manner, which was afterwards shown to
the prosecutor, who at once identified it as having been
stolen, with the cash-box, at the time in question. The
other prisoner was traced to Carey-street soon afterwards,
and taken into custody. The prosecutor was enabled to
prove that the prisoners had changed one of the notes at the
railway station.
The prosecutor stated that, since the last examination, he
had received letters from two individuals, who could not at-
tend that day, who stated that they had been robbed in a
similar manner by the prisoners, and one of them to the tune
of about 1801.

Mr. BuouGrrrox remanded the prisoners for a week, in
order to give time for the production of the other witnesses.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERSALL'S—FRIDAY.
Business, in the aggregate, was flat, but it did not lack
importance, inasmuch as it once more had the effect of re-
versing the positions of the two Danebury favourites, and
brought Mr. Greville's Mirmillo from the extreme outside to
20 to 1, taken freely in good quarters. This was the only
change worth especial notice in the Derby betting; that on
the Oaks was limited to two or three mares, and resulted in
a marked improvement in Ellerdale, and a further decline in
the Farmer's Daughter, on whom no-one seemed disposed to
invest at any price. The last quotations were as follows:
