' Constable White, No. 18 of the railway pollee,
deposed that he was on duty at the Greenwich termini°
on Wednesday- evening, at twenty minutes to tel
o'clock. He was standing at the second-class Wl*
stile; saw the two first named prisoners, with thry;
other persons, go up to the first-class turnstile, 5°133,,
of whom passed through, but one of them, gen%
Cook, jumped over the turnstile, and on being called
upon to return, deliver up his ticket, and pass through
as others did, he refused to comply. Witness follow?"
prisoner, and urged him to return and pass through !a
a

not show it. Witness received much abuse, was hustle
and Edward Cook struck him violently in the face sayer:
times, which caused much pain for several hours Ole.
He took him into custody with much difficulty, the other
prisoner trying to rescue him by passing his arms across
the neck of witness, and holding him down. r-rbe,.,

and went in. A dispute arose between the Cooks LiTto
the check-taker. Saw Henry Cook collared by Will $

—seemed general and indiscriminate confusion.
Edward Cook said ho had no evidence to offer La
defe,ice. a
Mr. TRAILL said the original offence appeared to bal

Cooks appearing inexcusable, he should fine each in, to

to London ; but on his arrival at the London terminus,
to his amazement, he was suddenly accosted by his wife,
who he learnt had come up by the same train in another
carriage ; and this was the origin of the complaint made
by the constable.
The infant here exercised its lungs, which manifestly
were of the stentorian order, arid,
The MAGISTRATE desired that it should be at once
given to the mother.
The father reluctantly complied.
Mr. Hermitage, on the part of the wife, said he "Is
instructed that the husband now cohabited with other
women, and all that the wife required of him was that
he would let her hive the children, as her friends would
assist her in their maintenance and education, and he
might then go where he pleased. fie had sold all their
furniture, and taken lodgings in London, where the other
children were ; but in what part could not he ascertained.
The husband said he certainly would not consent to
give up the other children, unless compelled to do s°
by law.
Mr. ARNOLD replied that he had no power to compel
him to do .0. He had, however, behaved extremely
and all he could do in the matter was, to bind over both
husband and wife to keep the peace towards each other.
The parties were then accordingly bound in the suet
of 201. each for that purpose.
7 Ind /1/ E S.
_ _

Five lads, apprentices on board the ships Favourite
and Anal:mins, were charged with stealing thirteen
pints of brandy from a cask lying in a quay in the LOU
don Dock.
From the evidence of White, one of the Thames Po'
lice, and Dix, a constable, it appeared that the prisoners
had abstracted the brandy in a mode which is technicalll
termed " working the pony." It seems that on the pre-
vim's day one of then, named Sykes, took one of the
ship's buckets and placed it under the cask. He then
bored a hole in the cask with a gimlet, two of the ()tin
Furman and Johnston, in the interim keeping a good
look-out in opt o,i e directions for the police. They then
put a spike in th, gimlet-hole, and carried the brandy on
hoard the ship Favourite The trick was discovered by
White observing the cask breaking, and on examining
it he soon found the spike was not such as a cooper
would use. On searching the ships, part of the brand!,
was found concealed in each. The prisoners admitted
the fact; one observing, when called on for his defence,
" I only bored the hole," and the others "
nothing but look out for the police." They were aU
committed for trial on the charge.
HAMMERSMITH.

John Chandler, aged 22, son of a boat-builder Ira'
the high Bridge, Hammersmith, was charged with
having violated Elizabeth Sarah Perriam, a girl of Weil"
intellect, 17 years of age.
Mr. Pelham, the solicitor, attended on behalf of the
priFoner.

- The evidence of the girl in question and other wit-
nesses was conclusive as to the commission of the of-
fence, the witnesses all stating that the evidence of the
girl was precisely to them what she had stated at the
court.

The prisoner, who by the advice of his solicitor de•
dined saying anything, was fully committed to Newgate
for trial on the capital charge.

GREENWICH.

Fsqrs., officers in the Scotch Fusilier Guards, were

17, St. James's-place, St. James's, with assaulting the
said Inspector Casey, of the Greenwich branch of the
South-Eastern Railway, while in the execution of his
