and September last the sums of 51. and 4/. 14s. ld., the
property of John Rose, his master.
Mr. Doane defended the prisoner.
Mr. CLA.RKSON stated the case for the prosecution, and
named a further sum than the above stated in the indict-
ment. Mr. O'Brien examined the witnesses.
It appeared that the prisoner had for some time been
in the confidental employ of the proscutor, who carries
on business in Ratcliff. He was authorised by him to
receive moneys on his account, which it was his duty to
pay in on the same day, or on the first opportunity. In
September several defalcations took place, and early in
the next month a magisterial inquiry was instituted,
and the prisoner was liberated on bail, but a bill of in-,
di?tment was preferred. It was proved that he had re-
ceived, among others, the sum of 91. odd, which had
not been paid over in the usual way.
In his cross-examination by Mr. DOANE, the prosecu-
tor admitted that he had expressed regret that these
proceedings were instituted.
Witnesses were called to prove the payments.
Mr. DOANE addressed the jury, and warmly expa-
tiated on the previous good character which the prisoner
had long borne, and observed that the prisoner admitted
and deeply regretted that he had done wrong. Mr.
Duane submitted that he was an agent, and not a ser-
vant, as required by Act of Parliament.
Mr. O'BRIEN was of a contrary opinion, and then re-
ferre,-1 the Court to the statute.
Mr. "lommissioner BULLOCK retirid, to consult the
Recorder ;'vonthe pint in dispute, and on his return
he made some further inquiries of Mr. Rose, the prose-
cutor, as to the nature of his engagement with prisoner.
The Learned JUDGE told Mr. Doane he might as well
proceed with his ohservations, and he was understood to
say, that if it became, necessary the point should be re-
served.
The Learned Counsel baying done so, called several
respectable persons, principally law writers and sta-
tioners, who gave the priSOlielr a very excellent character
for the last ten years.
Mr. Commissioner BULLOCK seamed up the evidence,
and the jury returned a verdict of A equittal, and the pri-
soner departed with his numerous friends.
Several cases of no interest were disposed of, and the
Court adjourned at five o'clock.

from a clever attempt made by him to rob her, com-
plained to Mr. Goldham. That experienced officer
ordered the prisoner out of the place, but received
the most awful abuse. It became neoesszty to
remove the fellow, and Mr. Goldham collared him for
that purpose. He, however, resisted most violently, and
struck right and left at Mr. Goldham, but was finally
shaken to a stand-still, and thrust into the station-house
by his active adversary.
The prisoner was committed as a rogue and vagabond
for a month.

taking his seat in the omnibus, his attention was first
attracted to the improper conduct of the complainant by
an uneasy feeling exhibited by his wife, who was sitting
next to him, and who at length told him that the com-
plainant was insulting her by stretching out his legs and
pressing her knees in a most off. -nsive manner. lie ac-
cordingly put down his paved, and finding the com-
plainant', legs in the position his wife had described, re-
quested him to remove them, but he refused to do so,
and he was therefore himself compelled to force them
aside. The instant he had done so, however, the com-
plainant raised his feet and dealt him a violent kick in
the stomach. He certainly struck him with his umbrella,
and considered himself perfectly justified in resorting to
such a course of retaliation.

Mr. BROUGUTON said he had no doubt that the defen-
dant had acted under the erronecus impression that his
wife had been insulted in the manner described, but if he
felt himself aggrieved, his proper course was to remove
the lady, and appeal to the conductor, instead of taking
the law into his own hands in the unwarrantable manner
he had done, The as fault had been clearly established,
and he should order him to pay a penalty of 605., or
in default, be committed fur one month to the House of
Correction.

The fine was immediately paid, and the defendant
Liberated.

BENEVOLENCIL —The magistrates have received letters
enclosing the following charitable donations, and re-
questing their acknowledgment through the medium of
the press :—" C.," 3/. ; " J. R.," 1/. ; " J. J., 103. ; and
" A Lady, R. G. E.," to be be applied to the poor-box.
"H. V., 11. Is. ; "J. J.," ss. ; "C. W. H.," 10s. ; and
" X.," 10s., on behalf of the unfortunate sisters Baker,
whose destitute condition was mentioned to the magis-
trates a few days since ; and "C. W. H.," 103., and
"R. G. E.," 55., for the widow Orick, whose distressing
case was simultaneously noticed.

HORSE STEALlNG.—Yesterday morning a young man
of provincial appearance was brought before Mr. Bingham
for re-examination, on the charge of stealing a horse,
under the following circumstances .
From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner,
whose name is William Bradshaw, on Tuesday, the 29th
ult., presented himself before Mr. Monks, the horse
slaughterer, of North-street, Whitechapcl, and offered
the animal alluded to for sale. From the appearance of
the latter, however, Mr. Monks was at once convinced,
in his own mind, that the prisoner had not come honestly
by the horse; he therefore questioned him, but his
answers were so evasive and unsatisfactory that he gave
him into custody, and he was locked up. On the fol-
' lowing day the constable (*Cullen, 47 K) by dint of
inquiry traced the owner of the horse to Mr. Antsey,
of Devonshire-street, Hoxton, and who upon seeing the
animal at once identified him as his property. The pri-
soner, subsequent to his being taken into custody, stated
that he had found the horse astray in the road near
Chelmsford.

Mr. Antsey attended yesterday morning, and gave
evidence as to the stolen horse being his property, and
the depositions were ordered to be made out for the
prisoner's full committal to Newgate for trial.
