CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT
OLD COURT.

DESPERATE ASSAULT.----CharieS .Empty, aged 23, a
smith, and Alexander Pickett, aged 20, labourer, were
indicted for feloniously cutting and wounding a police.
constable, named Fickett, with the intention of doing
him some grievous bodily harm.
It appeared that on the evening of the 21st of
March the prisoner and several others created much
disturbance by singing and other noises outside a public-
house in Holloway. The constable interfered. and was
grossly attacked by the prisoners, and several
others, amounting to the number of twenty. The
prisoners were, however, more violent than the rest.
Empey wrested his truncheon and rattle from him, and
struck and kicked him, and at length threw him on the
ground, and jumped upon his body, in which he was
assisted by the other prisoners. A number of large
stories were thrown, and the witnesses stated it was re-
markable that the constable was not killed.
The jury found the prisoners Guilty, and Empey
was sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment and hard
labour, and Pickett to 12 months.
Henry Nicks, a person of respectable appearance, was
indicted for stealing a gold watch, value 201., the pro•
perty of henry Willson.
Mr. Platt prosecuted, and Mr. Metcalfe defended the
prisoner.
The circumstances under which the charge was pre-
ferred were of rather a singular character. The prose-
cutor is the landlord of the Cold Arms public-house,
Limehouse, and on the 22d of March, the prisoner, who,
it appeared, was respectably connected, went to the house
in question, accompanied by a person named Jackson,
and the latter invited him, with the consent of the land-
lady, to go up stairs to see the club-room. They ac-
cordingly went up stairs, and Jackson entered the room,
supposing the prisoner was following him, but he missed
the one lost and it was proved that he pawned it on
n
him, and in calling out to him, he found that he had gone
,
into Mrs. Willson's bed-room, and he complained of his
having done so, and told him he thought it was a
great liberty. Very soon after the prisoner left the
house, the watch in question, which was of considerable
value, was missed from the mantelshelf, and the prisoner

sex county magistrates.
Edward Boiall, 34, was convicted upon clear evidence
of feloniously receiving a large quantity of properts that
had been stolen from Messrs. Healey and Burbidge,:iron-
mongers, Fleet-street.
The prosecution was instituted by the authorities of
the city of London, and the evidence left no doubt that
the prisoner, who kept a sort of marine store-shop, in
Shoe-lane, was a most extensive receiver of stolen} goods.
The officers found a very large quantity of stolen pro-
perty of every description on the premises; and it was
proved that after the prisoner was in custody, and his
establishment was in the charge of the police, in the
course of two days six persons came openly to the stop
with stolen property, and they were all taken into cus-
tody and eonvicted.
The prisoner was sentenced to be transported for ten
years.
Charles Barnhard, 54, and Fanny Marks, 34, were in-
dicted for stealing seven 10/. Bank of England notes, the
property of Rachel Folks, since deceased.
In other counts the property was laid to belong to the
Bishop of London.
Mr. Ryland and Mr. Laurie conducted the prosecu-
tion. Mr. }lorry defended the male prisoner. The
woman had no counsel.

It appeared that the female prisoner kept a sort of
lodging house in Hounsditch, and the man lived in the
same house, and they were on intimate terms. The
deceased, who was a penurious old woman, lodged in
the house, and on the 14th of last October she went to
a banker's, and received change for a cheque for 1201.,
in one note for 501. and seven 101. notes. On the 9th
February following she was taken suddenly ill with an
attack of an apoplectic character, and remained insen-
sible for two or three days, when she expired, and, upon
a search being made, none of the money could be found.
When the prisoners were questioned upon the subject
they denied all knawledge of the money, and made a
suggestion that the deceased upon one oecasion had
been knocked down, and that she might have been
robbed. This statement, however, very soon turned out
to be false, for it was proved that on the very day when
the deceased was first attacked by her fatal illness the
mule prisoner changed one of the notes, and he was
afterwards proved to have changed five of the others,
and on his being taken into custody the remaining
101. note was bound in his possession, as well as
581. in gold. Upon this discovery be imme•
diately changed his story, and declared that the
money had been given to him by the old lady as a
present; bat, according to the testimony of the witnesses,
this was not at all likely to have been the case, as she
was on very bad terms with the prisoner Bernhard, and
had not spoken to him for six months before her death,
and one witness said that so far from the deceased being
a likely person to give any one such a sum of money,
she was so penurious that it was like extracting blood
from a stone to get any money from her.
The evidence against the woman consisted, in addition
to her statement of the deceased having been robbed,
of the fact that evidence was given that a piece of paper,
In which the notes had been wrapped up, was found in
one of her drawers.

Mr. LORRY addressed the jury for the male prisoner,
and called a number of witnesses, who gave him a good
character.

The woman, on being called on, declared her inno-
cence of the charge.
The RECORDER having summed up.
The jury returned a verdict of Guilty against Barn-
hard, and Acquitted the woman.
The prisoner was sentenced to be transported for
seven years.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.
Four men, who gave their names as William Waters,
John Graham, Frederick Lester, and Arthur Soper,
were placed at the bar, charged with being riotous and 1
disorderly on Monday afternoon, and also with flinging
stones and assaulting the police.
John Spring, 337 of the City Police, said that about
three o'clock the previous afternoon, while on duty in
Fleet-street, he observed the prisoner Waters fling a
stone at some brother constables, upon which he imme-
diately attempted to take him into custody, but had no
sooner laid his hand upon him for that purpose, than
the prisoner eluded his grasp and made towards Bride-
lane. He followed, and on overtaking him he exclaimed,
" What do you want with me? What have I done?"
He (the officer) replied, " You must come with me to
the station-house," upon which the prisoner rejoined,
You I will not be taken," and instantly struck
him a violent blow across the nose. A struggle ensued,
during which the mob collected around, crying " Kill
the He then received a kick in the mouth, and
also on the side of his head, which rendered him for
some time insensible, but recovering, he shortly after
captured the prisoner with the aid of other constables.
Evidence of a similar character was given with respect
to the other prisoners.
The prisoners denied the charge in tato, with the ex-
ception of Graham, who admitted striking the special
constable (Smith), but said that he was justified in
consequence of being first attacked by that individual.
Alderman SIDNEY said, that when business WAS
stopped, as lately it had been, and the public safety
endangered, it was high time to put a stop to such pro-
ceedings, which caused such serious results, and there-
fore he had come to the conclusion of holding them all to
bail to answer the charge at the sessions, and he should
instruct the City Solicitor to prosecute.
Not having bail the prisoners were all locked up.
Mr. Thomas Taylor, one of the special constables,ii
was charged with firing a pistol off on Ludgate-hi _
Constable Burrowes, 335, stated that about eight
o'clock the previous evening the prisoner fired a pis f 1)

Alderman SIDNEY said it was a most indiscreet act,
which might have led to a general tumult.
Mrfraylor—Suppose my staff had been taken, and my
life endangered, would I not have a right to resort to my
pistols ?
Alderman SlDNEY—Certainly not ; because being a
special constable, appointed to preserve the peace, he
had no right to fire without the direction of the ma-
gistrate. The unauthorised or accidental firing of a
gun at Berlin had caused the loss of a thousand lives,
and if a similar calamity had happened yesterday, it was
impossible to forsee what extent of confusion and loss
of life might occur here. Considering that you may
have acted in error, I shall only fine you 10s. for firing

Geo:9-e William Brown, a powerful man, following
the trade of a butcher in the New-cut, Lambeth, was
brought before Mr. Cottingham, charged with assaulting
a Mr. W. Harris, one of the numerous special constables
sworn in at this Court to preserve the peace on the day
of the Chartist meeting on Kennington-common.
After hearing evidence,
The MAGISTRATE said he should adjudge the defendant
to pay 31. for the assault, and to commit him for a month
to gaol in default of paying the fine.

-L:111113 ETA'.
Andrew Dawson, a thick-set and powerful fellow,
who described himself as a miner, and a native of Bol-
ton, in Lancashire, was charged with assaulting and
ob.tructing two special constables in the ext cation of
their duty.
Mr. Ford, a plumber, in the Lambeth-wal, an,l who
had b en sworn in at this Court as a special constable,
deposed that about six o'clock on the preceding evening
he saw a crowd of 300 persons in Lambeth-walk, and on
going up to see what was the matter he found that two
teen were fighting. Ile parted the men and was dis-
persing the mob, when the prisoner laid hold of him and
also his staff, and tried to take the latter from him. The
persons in the crowd called out to the prisoner to secure
the stuff and use it upon him (witness), and it was very
possible, with the assistance of the mob, that he would
have been enabled to do so, had not two other special
constables come to his assistance, and the prisoner was
ultimately taken to the station house.

The prisoner was convicted in a penalty of 405., or in
default of payment to 20 days' imprisonment.

CHARTIST MEETINGS.

SHEFFIELD, TIIESDAY.—A large meeting of Chartists
was 11,1 d yesterday. Resoluticns in support of the
Charter, Rad expressive of confidence in the National
Convention, :were unanimously carried, after which the
meeting quietly separated.
GLASGOW.—From the chief magistrate at Glasgow to
Sir George Grey:—

" Glasgow, April 10.
"This town has been perfectly quiet all day. No at-
tempt to hold meetings here."
EDINIIIIRGIL—From the Solicitor- General, Edin-
burch, to Sir George Grey.—" A large Chartist meeting
on the Calton Hill, Edinburgh, which went in procession
to the Provost lloube, presented a petition for the
Charter, and then quietly dispersed. Town all quiet at
10 P.m."

INSTITUTION OF CIVIL
ENGINEERS.
(Jos'lna FIELD, E: q., President, in the chair.)
On Tuesday last the second part of Mr. Jackson's
paper " On the engineering of the Rhine and the Mo-
selle," was read. It consisted to considerable extent of
a translation of an account of the spurs, groynes, and
other works on the Moselle for restricting the dimensions
of the bed of that river and increasing the depth of the
water, so as to enable the navigation to be carried on,
which would otherwise be averted in the low water
seasons. It was shown that to effect this numerous
arms of the river had been damned across and allowed
to silt up, the course had been straightened, elbows had
been cut off, and the convex shores, after being silted up
by deposit between the groynes, were defended by arm-
ing of fascines, &c. Division banks had been established
for the inflowing rivulets, so as to carry the gravel to
greater distance down the stream. Rocks also were
removed by powder, and general improvements to such
an extent were executed that the river was comparatively
under good control.
The account of the Rhine was then resumed, and,
after detailing the various plans that had been proposed
for ameliorating its course, giving numerous interest-
ing and valuable tables of Banken's and Boistra's expe-
Itss asri

average height of the river at the time of new and full
moon, the height of various dykes above the extraordi-
nary flood line, &0., the paper finished with these gene-
ral views :—" On looking at the map of Holland, and
tracing its various streams, it certainly does not
Lip' pear
singte ar that frequent stoppages should take place in that
country, whilst such occurrences are comparatively rare
in Germany; for, as long as the Rhine retains its sin-
gle cour,e, as at Emmerick, no obstacles, excepting
elbows, stay the progress of the current seawards ;
but, as soon as it divides at the Waal and Pannerden
Canal, the evil commences and increases, according to
the number of arms and channels lower down. It is
generally agreed that a river should have as few outlets
as possible, iu order to allow it the more effectually to
clear itself, and that the tide should be admitted as far as
possible, whilst, at the same time, the action of the
winds should be diminished; again, that the more the
surface water of any river is abstracted, the more quickly
the sand will accumulate; and also that, if a cut be
made, it is usual tor ice stoppages to take place be-
low it, so as to raise the water level above ; and it
is also agreed, that if a cut be made, as capacious as the
river itself, or be permitted to increase to that extent, it
will soon get beyond control, while the sand will accu-
mulate rapidly, sad that when openings exist in
dykes the tee gets into eddies, loses its velocity, and by
degrees closes up the passage below the opening, so
as to raise the water above. The question, therefore,
to be solved with regard to Holland and the system
followed there, in order to prevent breaches in dykes,
and to save the better part of the country (taking into
account its weak, marshy soil, and its incapacity to
withstand any great force), is whether it be the better
plan to relieve the pressure on the dy kes, by cuts and
new channels, and local floodings, at the expense of in-
crensing the number of ice stoppages, and, at the
same time, diminishing the velocity in the main rivers,
thereby greatly augmenting its liability to accu-
mulating sand. It is true, as already stated, that
the rivers are at present in such a condition, that
it must be very expensive to effect anything of
im-
porcauce ; but the question is of such vital importance
to the port of Rotterdam, and the certainty of
the mouth of the Meuse at the Blielle in the course
of time closing up like that at Katwyk, if no improve-
ment be attempted, is so clear, that it is very much to be
regretted some steps have not been taken ere this to
prevent so great a flow of water from passing out by
the Hollands Diep to Hellicut."
The author directs the attention of the institution to
this subject, and directs the following:points for the con-
side, ation of the members:—

and dykes likely to be operated upon by the alterations ;
to straighten all the curves on the Leek, so as to
lessen chances of ice stoppages ; to separate the Waal
and Meuse Waters as much as possible, and to
lead off the former together with the Leek,
into the sea by the Brielle ; to narrow the Bresbosch
channel (now divided) into one, regulating the quantity
of water ; to close the
.lirabbe, the Noord, and the
Spry, with sluice gates ; and, for the purpose of widening
the outlet, to join the island of Rosenburgh to the main
land at Vlaardingin, thereby causing the ebb water to
act upon this island, and with increased velocity, and an
additional quantity of water attempting to remove the
bar and shoals."
At the monthly ballot, Messrs. F. C. Penrose, R.
Hughes, H. Curry, F. P. Smith, and S. Woods, were
elected associates,

The paper announced to be read at the meeting of
Tuesday, April 11, was—" An Account of the Works at
the Corbet Lough Reservoir, being a continuation of
the account of the Bann Reservoirs," by J. F. Bateman,
M .I.C.E.

"FREE AND EASY" PATRIOTS ---On Monday evening
some of the crowds that were traversing the streets, en-
tered the premises of Mr. Draper, Globe, Batton-garden,
and forcibly turned various taps, and very unceremoni-
ously commenced helping to the several beverages. They
were, however, disturbed, and got out out of the premises.
They next proceeded to Mr. Bennett's. White Lion, Lea-
flier-lane. That house was the rendezvous of many
special constables, and considerable force was at hand.
The " free and easy " intentions of the interlopers were
soon interrupted. Mr. Bennett captured the ringleader,
who had a tricolour rosette affixed to his coat, and
although strong efforts were made to rescue him, Mr.
Bennett kept him fast, and seized his rosette. Six of
his companions were secured by the special constables,
and all without even exhibiting their batons, and they
were detained prisoners until the arrival of the police.

LOYALTY OF BRITISH --ThereSEAMEN
was an
the
interesting scene on board ship Rainbow, lying
off Gravesend, bound onWedn a voyage to Aden, when, on
esday, at five sist., Captain Arnold came on board,
the ship being hove to, and a steamer ready to tow her
away, he mustered all his crew on the quarter-deck, and
gave them to understand, as a pattern to British seamen,
before they left the port, that they would give three
hearty cheers to England and her Queen. The captain
and all the tars loudly cheered for old England and her
Queen; the Brit,sh ensign was immediately hoisted, the
anchor weighed, and the good ship Rainbow, with her
honourable captain, proceeded en her intended voyage.
CASTLE CLIFF, BARNARD CASTLE.—An immense
mass of rock, estimated to weigh several tons, became
disengaged on Sunday last, from the cliff upon which
stand the ruins of the once powerful and magnificent
Castle of Barnard, and fell on the Tees' side from au
immense height. The cause of the sudden precipitation
of this frightful mass of stone is unknown; but some
attribute it to the effects of a violent storm of thunder
and lightning, with which the town of Barnard Castle
was visited on Sunday last.—Darlington Times.
