CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

OLD COCIL)T.
Tali'. OP CTIFFEY, FAY. AND LACY.
(Con:inn:A our Afterno.in 111;tion of yesLur(lay.)
On conclusion of tic exlmination in chief of Thf,s.
Puvrell, which occupied the Court no less thqu four hours,
thn.jury ret►red to take refreshment, aryl the court ad-
journed from ten minutea past two to half-past, when
thn cross-examination of the witness was proceeded
with.

• In answer to questions from Mr. BALLANTINE, the
witness stated that he went by the name of Johnson at
• these meetings. On one eceas7on a person at Cart-
' .wright's called him Robinson, to which he
replied, " Call me any name you like." Once
went by the name of the " Welsh Novice." With
the exception of that, never went by any other name
than Johnson. Renineon, and Powell. About two
days after the 20th of July commenced taking
notes of the meeting. He did not do so
at the desire of any one ; nor did he shoe
them to any one. Hid communicated to the police
and to the Government what was going on from time to
time, but had nevershown his notes till he was before some
of the authorities. He thought he did so before the pri-
soners at the bar were taken into custody. Would not
swear that he did not show his notes before the sth of
August. Would swear he had never altered his notes
since he had shown them to the authorities. He had
joined the Chartists fair the purpose of giving information
to the authorities. He did not do so for want, as he
had always plenty of work, but he was determined the
Government should know what was going on. Had been
connected with the turf as a pedestrian. Was called
the " Welsh Novice." Was a runner then, and was so a
little now.—(A laugh.) Had run at Croydon and
Hounslow. At the first and last place he ran for the
purpose of drawing custom to the house. Had never
kept a thimble-rig; had played, but neither won nor
lost. Did not know what a decoy was. Had been paid
for playing.—(Sensation and hisses.) Went for my
master. Was paid 30s. Was but one-and-twenty, and
was ignorant of the real nature of his delinquency.
Was, in fact, employed to stand at a table as a mere
gull at races, and to take the money. Did not consider
himself decoying the people.
What did you bet for? did you bet to deceive the
people? I did.—(These statements of the witness caused
great disgust in the court.) Never played at a
thimble-rig table nor associated with those men
in the whole course of his life. Knew a person
named Pennell. Never told him him that ho
walked a match with Townsend and sold the parties.
Did not sell the parties who backed him, nor said he
had. Never ran for money. Had never been a witness
before, except on one occasion in this court eight years
ago, in a case of picking a pocket handkerchief. Did
not at that time tell some one that he was afraid to give
evidence because he might be asked about his thimble-
rigging. His father was dead. Was employed by his
brother-in-law, whose name was Smith, who employed
several men. Never told a man Parris that he had been
employed by thimble-rigging people. Had never said
that he did not believe in the existence of God, the
Saviour, or the like. Believed in the existence of God.
Had said to Parris that he might expect something re
markable ; never said he expected a rising. Parris
had thrown out hints that he was a spy.
Got some lead from Mr. Smith, for the
purpose of casting bullets for Mr. Gurney. Did
not tell Mr. Smith his purpose. He gave him about a
pound of lead. Cast the bullets for Gurney. One of
his boys was present when he did so. He was ten years
of age. Was not bringing him up to this kind of busi-
ness. Received es. from his " locality," to buy lead,
powder, and cartridge-paper. Was not called by his
shopmates " Lying Tom., ' Never heard before now that
he was called so. Should resent such an insult.—
(Laughter.) Never told a person named Osborne that
there was about to be a Chartist rising, and asked him
to join them, bat would not swear that he had asked his
shopmates to join. He might have done it. Could not re-
collect that he had told Osborn that he knew a man who
could make a pike for him. Believed he did point out
a person named Hook to Osborn for that purpose at a
meeting in Birdcage-walk one Sunday morning. Could
not at all tell the purpose the pike was intended for.
Never said " that if be got a chance in a crowd he would
rip the guts up of the police with a chisel." Had
quarrelled with his father during, his lifetime once or
twice. Did not strike him. He was struck by him
once, and took hold of him by his coat to keep him off.
Never said, " You old b--, I'll murder you." Mr.
Smith separated them. Had one uncle, with whom he
had quarrelled. Had been bound over to keep the
peace towards him. Had been 11 years with his brother-
in-law. Never told Pennell, whom his brother dis-
charged, that the Government was a weak and bloody
Government, and that he would send Lord John Bus.
sell to the devil about a fortnight before the 10th of
April. Would swear he never did. Never offered to
propose Pennell as a member of the Chartist Confede-
racy, nor that he should receive 21. or 3/. a week for
agitating the country, which would be better than
working at Smith's. Neither did he tell him
that ' the Chartists would never get the Charter
by the way they were going on. No expressions
of the following kind ever passed his lips to Pennell,—
" Look at the queen, with her hundreds of thousands,
which are spent in waste and idleness "—" I would blow
her and the b—e- foreigner to hell "—" Come to my
home, and I will show you materials sufficient to blow
London to hell in half an hour." Had told a shoemaker
named Pennell, before the 10th of April, that he had
made hind-grenades that would go halt' through an inch
board," but had never made any. Merely told this lie
for talking's sake—merely as a luxury.—jsaugh-
ter.) Did so merely as a pastime. Believed
he told him how he made them. That was a
lie.too. Yet he was not called " Lying Tom." We were
all busy talking about throwing them among the police.
Dare say he did tell him, and those who were present,
that a stout blacking bottle, halt' tilled with powder and
nails, with a fusee, would do very well, but did not recollect
saying that if they were thrown among the police they
would break their legs. Went to the meeting on Ken-
nington.common, but would swear he did not go armed.
Never told Bennet shortly after the meeting that
with ten men he could easily take the Artillery-ground.
Never told him that he he had prepared plans to
accomplish this, nor that his (Powell's) men knew well
" how to spike the police." Did not know a man named
John Westmorland, Thomas Anthill, nor Taylor Might
have said at Cartwright's coffee-house that O'Connor was
a coward, because he had proposed peaceable measures
to the Nationl Assembly, and suggested that it should
be postponed. Would not swear he had not. Would
swear that he never told Anthill that if every man had
arms they would soon upset the Government. Never
offered him any powder. Did not know a person named
George Thurston by name. (Thurston was called,
and the • witness said ho knew him by name.)
Had a pair of pistols. Exchanged them for
another pistol. Would not swear that he did not offer
to sell the pistols to Thurston for 65., nor stated that if
he purchased them he would give him a pound of pow-
der with the bargain. Was never a mcmb,r of a club
called the " Vat Tyler." He had heard of it, but had
never attended any of its meetings. Had attended a
Chartist meeting at a bcer.ihop at the corner of James-
street, Ironton Old Town. Could not say whether this
Is as in May or June. Did not know a person called
Hoary Green by name. Knows Dennis Donaine.
Would not swear that he had said of Donaine that
ho was a Government spy, or that be was
a milk and water moral force b—. Did not think such
language was uttered by him. I am a moral man.
Should not feel surprise if the persons who attended
Cartwright's had said such things of him, as they were
parties who would shock any moral man. (A small
plan was put into the witness's hand.) Would swear
that he did not draw it and give it to Westmorland (who
was called to confront him). He had made a plan,
a circle dotted to show the positions of people,
but he destroyed it. He made the plan and
produced it at the meetit gs merely to find out
the plans other parties had. Ido not remember
any lines on the circle, because my memory is so bad.
Would swear there were no lines in the large plan.
Knew a person named John Collins, a desperate, noisy
character. Had not informed against him. Did not re-
member tapping him on the shoulder and asking him if
he was coming up stairs that night (a night in
August), as there was to be a glorious meeting,
to be attended only by those who were ready to come
out and fight for their rights. Did not recollect
asking him if he was prepared, and his saying " Mr.
Johnson, I do net know what you mean." Never
told him that he had a nice dagger, which he would
mice him a present of, nor if he would join him he
would show him a way to obtain his rights. Knows
George Medlock's (who was called in) face. Would not
L%l ear that he had not said that two persons he named
were " moral force b--." I may have said it, and
forgotten it. I now remember that on that night I was
at Cartwright's and I was accused of being a spy, on
account of my not going by my right name of Powell.
I denied that I was a spy, and 'accounted for using the
name of Johnson by saying that I did not wish my
friends to know I had anything to do with the Chartists.
I know a man named Bryant. On the 16th August,
in the early part of the evening, I was standing outside
Cartwright's with a crowd, but I don't recollect that he
eked me what was the matter, and that I told him I
thought it was a botched job by those milk and water
an e• I don't remember saying, on being pressed for
that
night, that there was intended to be a turn out
and that a signal rocket was to be fired be-
tween nine and ten, and the people were to turn out. I
don't recollect it, btit:l4 I won't swear I did not. It is not
likely that I said
sold the job, and theerl— milk-and-water chaps have
Orange- street. I
may se le must have been nailed in
have said all this and forgotten
it. I remember en this night walking up Chisvvell-street
with the same man.btowed him sixty-eight ball
cartridges. This was between ten and eleven o'clock
at night. lam sure I did 11 him that I had got
two hundred fire-balls to throotwt

same time, " You see I am well prepared for
you ? I had those things with me forare
and to protect myself in case I should be attacked,n faety,
was afraid that I was found out. I showed these thinsgl
to Bennett for pastime, knowing at the same time thats
I had betrayed my companions. This was one of the
men whom I had engaged to assist in firing the houses,
and I wanted him to go to the Orange Tree, where I
knew ho would have been apprehended. I know Daniel
Burn. I suppose him to be a working man. I did not
show him my pistols on the 10th of April. I swear I
did not do so before I went to the Kennington-common
meeting. I don't think I showed him a pistol at any
time.swear that I never said to Burn that I wished
the
Pple Would sassessinate the police and fire the
houses: I don't believe I said so to-any one, but I.won't
swear I did not do so.

CHARTIST TRIALS. dori?;yti
tthhienkClouirr—l might have said it, my Lord, but I
; I was always rather a friend to the
police, and that was well known. I won't be sure I did
not make use of such an expression, but I d n't think it
was likely.
By Mr. BALLANTINE—I don't believe I ver said to
Burn that I hoped to see the police assa mated, aral
some g )(NI fires in Landon, and that at the same time I
showed a pistol, and said that was the thing for theta ;
but I won't swear to such an occurrence never taking
place. I believe I did say to a man named Carter that I
wanted four desperate men who would do any kind of
work. I said this in consequence of instructions I had
received at the Orange Tree. I don't remember hearing
Carter reply, " Then you won't have me." I dare say
. I showed him the plan I had made. I did not tell any-
body on the 14th August that I was going to Australia,
and that I wanted an outfit. I did riot say so to Good-
fellow—the man now produced—and I don't know the
man at all. I swear I never asked that man to go to the
Oraugo Tree on the night of the 16th August. (Mr. Bal •
lantine here handed a small iron instrument with a pike
in it, calculated to lame a horse if thrown on the road or
pavement, and he asked the witness if he had ever seen
such a one, and he admitted he had, and that he made
it.) He gave an explanation that at one of the meetings
which took place at Cartwright's, Brewster produced two
such instruments, and told him they were for the pur-
pose of crippling the cavalry and infantry, and he made
one himself, and gave it to a person named Mayne, and
he kept it.
Cross .examination continued I showed the one
I made to several people at Cartwright's, and threw it
down to show how it acted. I expected, when I
did this, that if they were made at Cartwright's others
would be produced.
Baron PLATT.—You did it for a trap to try them ?
Witness—l did, my Lord; that is the solemn position
in which I stand.—(A laugh.)
By Mr. BALLANTINE.—I may have said these were
the things to throw among the troops. I did say I had
a great many more at home ; that was false. I have
told several other falsehoods during these proceedings.
While Gurney was in custody I was allowed to go to
him in his cell, and I believe I told him that if he would
confess it would be better for his wife and family.
Baron PLATT—Why do you say you believe, surely
you know whether you said it or not.
Witness—l believe I said it, lam not surd.
By Mr. BALLANTINE—I don't know whether a police-
man was standing outside the cell, and that when I went
out I said "it was no go." I believe I did tell Gurney
that his wife and family would be made comfortable for
the rest of their lives. I had no authority for saying

Mr. BALLANTINI —Did you tell him a falsehood, then,
and endeavour to get him to say something, intending to
betray him ?
Witness—He was betrayed at the time.
Cross-examination continued—Gurney was placed in
a cell by himself, but I don't know that this was done in
order that I might have him to myself. I wanted him
to speak the truth, as I thought it would be better for
him. Thirteen years ago I went to America. I sold
out some money from the funds before I started. I swear
it was my own money.
Re-examined—When I was at Cartwright's in the
evening of the 16th August I knew that the people had
been apprehended at the Orange-tree, and it was pretty
generally known at that time, and every body was talk-
ing about it. Carter is a Chartist, and I should say not
a moral-force Chartist.
The witness was under examination for nearly eight
hours.
Jemima lluth, the wife of' a coffee-shopkeeper in
Suffolk-street, Southwark, proved that shortly before her
house was searched by the police, the prisoner Lacy
and some other persons came there. They had four cups
of coffee, and remained about half an hour. It was on
a Tuesday. She did not remember that Lacy came to
the house on the following morning, but she did not at
that time give him any pistols. There had been three
pistols in the house, but they belonged to her sister-in-
law, and there was also a powder-flask. These pistols
were given to her sister. She also bad things i❑ her
house like constable's staves; they were made for special
constables, and a young man in her house painted them.
Cross-examined—Her sister's husband used to have
these pistols when he was employed on board ship, and
she had had them for twelve years.
Superintendent Pearse proved that on the evening of
the 16th of August he went with a body of constables to
the Orange Tree public-house, Red Lion-square. He
proceeded to a first floor room, where there were eleven
persons—Richie, Gurney, Shepherd, Able, Richardson,
Greenslade, Burn, Scadding, Snowball, Martin, and
Small. On searching the room he found three fire-balls
made of rag and tow, and,one of them had printing type
tied up in it; they all appeared to have been saturated
with turpentine. Richie was sitting close to the place
where he found the fire-balls, and upon searching his
person he found two knives. Richie's hat also smelled
of turpentine. Inspector Marsh asked Richie where he
lived, but he refused to tell him, and he afterwards said
that he had just come from France. The !door of the
room was unlocked, and, when the police went in, all the
men appeared to be conversing together.
James Thompson, a police-sergeant, proved that he
searched a lodging occupied by Richie, in Cross-court,
Russell-court, Drury-lane, after he was arrested on the
evening of the 16th of August, and found 168 cartridges,
four bullet-moulds, four bullets, three combustible balls
made of pitch with a fuzee running through the centre,
a powder-horn, and some gunpowder in a quart wine-
bottle. lie also found a bayonet, a ladle for melting
lead, a quantity of tow, some shot, a piece of lead, and a
quantity of percussion-caps. He likewise found a piece
of paper with some pencil writing on it, and some books
upon the subject of the Charter.
Cross-examined—He searched Cuffey's garret, but he
did not produce when he was before examined some
papers which he found there.
Mr. BALLANTINE requested that they might be pro-
duced.
The ATTORNEY GENERAL said they should all be
handed over to the Learned Counsel in the course of a
short time.
Mr. J. Bowline deposed, that on the 15th of Auemst
he was put in possession of the Orange Tree public-
house. On the following day, about three o'clock in the
afternoon, a phrson came to engage a private room for
the same evening at a quarter to five o'clock. Two
persons came first, and nice afterwards, and they were
all there by twenty minutes past five o'clock. They
wanted to have a bagatelle-board, and when this was
done it was found there were no balls; one of the men
then took a piece of chalk, and stuck it into the five
hole, and then said "That's a ten—that's a red ball fire
this night by --." The police came soon afterwards,
and all the men were taken into custody. On searching
the room the next morning he found a card of the ad-
mission of Henry Small as a member of the William
Tell brigade of the Chartist Association. A paper was
also found denoting that Greenslade and Burn had
been appointed delegates from the Thomas Payne
brigade.
At seven o'clock the Court adjourned.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
Jarman and Harlow, stokers to the Ranger steamer,
from Rotterdam, were brought before the Lord Mayor
under the following circumstances:—
The master of the Ranger, which trades between Lon-
don and Rotterdam, stated that the prisoners belonged
to his vessel when he joined her, and that they suddenly
deserted on the 28th of August at Brewers' Quay on the
river Thames. At the time they abandoned tha vessel
there were eleven days' wages due to them, but it was
soon ascertained that their disappearance arose from the
discovery of 140Ihs, of tobacco which had been smuggled
and hidden in the engine-room, and on account of which
the penalty of 100/. had been adjudg&d against the was-
ter, but subsequently reduced to 25/.
The LORD MAYOR—Were you obliged to pay that
amount of penalty? The Master—l was obliged to puy
it mselr.

The LORD MAYOR—And you did not sanction the de.
parture of these men from the vessel? The Master—
Not at all. They never thought of going till the disco-
very of the smuggled tobacco took place.
One of the prisoners said, he had merely gone for an-
other job, which promised to be more advantageous to
him; and the other said he had left the ship because he
heard of the seizure, and although he wa.; wholly inno-
cent of any offence against the law, he feared that ho
should have been implicated with the guilty.
The Master—They made off just as I was going to
pay them their wages.
Mr. Coleman, of the office of the Registrar-General of
Seamen, said the defendants had assured him that they
had been regularly discharged.
The LORD MAYOR—Let them produce their discharge
tickets.
The defendants said they were sorry they could not.
The LORD MAYOR said the case was one of much
gross misconduct, and sentenced each of the defendants
to imprisonment for thirty days fur having deserted the
vessel.
The defendants remain subject to prosecution for the
other offence.
J. Bracher, a seaman, was prosecuted for desertion;
he had engaged to serve in a vessel bound for Calcutta,
and failed to join her.
The defendant said he had certainly signed articles,
and had of course intended to perform his contract, but
he found it impossible to leave his wife and children—.
one of whom was dying—without any means of support;
and although promised au advance of money he had not
succeeded in obtaining it. He avowed his readiness to
go in the vessel, for he had sailed with the captain, and
wished to serve under him.
Mr. Coleman asked whether he had not received an
advance note?—The defendant said that such was the
case, but it had proved of no use to him, as it had not
been stamped. He had taken it to the broker, who ob-
jected that it was not stamped, and he then took it to
Somerset-house to get it stamped ; but the gentlemen
there not only refused to stamp it, but took down all the
names and particulars, and said they would prosecute
the captain for issuing an advance note without being
stamped.
The LORD MAYOR said, the advance note was not only
intended for the benefit of the seaman himself, but when
for more than W. it was no doubt intended to confer ad-
vantage upon his family; and it was rather hard that such
a class of persons, to whom a shilling was an object, should
be subject to a tax. As, in the present instance, it ap-
peared that the defendant intended to go in the vessel,
and that he was only prevented by the desire to make
some provision for his family before his departure, the
decision was that he be discharged.
MARYLEBONE.
Three young men, named Feeny, If anis, and Pichley,
were, together with two women, named Cousins and
M'Donald, placed at the bar before Mr. Long,
charged with having been concerned in a most brutal
outrage upon the police.
The evidence in support of the charge, and which was
gone into at considerable length, was to the effect, that
on the previous afternoon as Church,-129D, was passing
• ••

along York-court, Crawford•street, he was accosted by
Feeny, who exclaimed," Now you b—Church, I'll either
be hung for you or you shall for me,"and at the same mo-
ment gave him a blow; they b strug.4led aid Ell, and
mobil upon tho ground, Feeny, t,fte kicking him vio-
lore ly, cried out loudly, "N.fle, any lads, come on, tlis is
the tinie to kill old Church." Upwards of 150 let. n and
women then rushed out of the court, wen Church
dreadfully maltreated by being kicked and pelted with
stones and other missiles. Several of his brother officers
came to his assistance, as did also Franklin, usher of
the court, who happened to be passing by, and while
Feeny was being conveyed to the station-house Wallis
and Pickley behaved in a most brutal manner to three
or four constables. The female prisoners took an active
part in the affray, and attempted to rescue Feeny by
laying hold of him and pulling him with all their might,
in addition to which they inflicted personal violence
upon the police. The whole of the prisoners were, after
much difficulty, properly secured and locked up.
The defence set up was, that Church had interfered
with Feeny without any necessity, and that he and other
officers grossly ill-used him; thence had arisen all that
subsequently took place.
Witnesses were examined, and
Mr. feoric ultimately came to the conclusion that the
police, taking into consideration the brutality of the at-
tack made upon them, and the trying and dangerous
position in which they had been placed, had not acted
with more violence than was necessary for putting down
the disturbance and capturing the prisoners; and ac-
cordingly convicted the whole of them of the offence with
which they were charged.
Feeny was sentenced to hard labour in the House of
Correction for a month, and the rest of the party were
fined 20s. each. They were all then locked up.
CLERKEN WELL.
Joseph Edward Worrall and Cecilia Wanton Chandley
appeared on their recognizances, and were placed at the
bar before Mr. Combe on a charge of having cruelly ill-
treated four children belonging to the former prisoner.
The unfortunate children, who were evidently much
improved since the last examination, but who still bore
marks of violence on their persons and were in a very
weak state, were brought into court attired in the work
house dress. When placed on the desk before the ma-
gistrate their appearance drew forth a burst of indigna-
tion from the auditory.
Mr. COMBE directed that the eldest child, Henrietta
Maria Cecilia Worrall, nine years of age, should be
brought forward, when she was questioned as to the na-
ture and obligation of an oath, which she answered satis-
factorily and intelligently, and repeated the Lord's
Prayer.
On beine, sworn, she said that she fell down stairs and
knocked her eyes against the handle of a door ; her fa-
ther afterwards hit her with the back of his hand, and
blackened her eyes because she did something wrong.
Mrs. Chandley, whom she called her aunt, was present
at the time. She slapped her for " missing " messages.
Her father made her say her prayers for lying.—(The
father here shed tears.) He beat her on the thighs with
a cane, and made marks upon her. Mrs. Chandley used
to beat her with the cane. She was beaten by her father
for taking potatoes, bread and butter, and sugar. She
never stole unless it was something to eat. Her father
beat her on the night before he blackened her eyes.
The father questioned her with a view to show that
he beat her for stealing and telling lies; but she an-
swered that she only took the baby's dinner after she had
eaten her own. The child cried convulsively whilst being
questioned.
Mr. Courtenay, surgeon, of 5, Finsbury-terrace, de-
posed, that he saw the four children now present on the
19th inst.; the eldest child, Henrietta, had two black
eyes; she had several marks of violence on her person
from blows, especially on the thighs. The severity of the
blows had broken the skin. The child was in very bad
health, and appeared to have been starved. The stomach
was in that weak condition that it would not retain any
food. By proper treatment she much recovered. Emma
Austin, a younger child, was covered with bruises, and
emaciated through starvation. Funny Austin Worrall
also presented marks of violence ; and Annie Worrall,
the youngest, two years and nine months old, had marks
about her person; they were also emaciated through
starvation, but they were now recovering by proper
treatment. It was evident that the whole of the chil-
dren had been subjected to great neglect, as they were
in a moat filthy state when he saw them.
John Tyrrell proved acts of neglect and cruelty to the
children.
Mary Walker, nurse in St. Luke's workhouse, said
that when the children were brought to the workhouse
they were covered with bruises, filth, and vermin to such
a degree that she could hardly tell whether they were
human beings or not.
Mr. COMBE said the children would be taken care of
by the parish. He would commit the male prisoner for
trial, and leave it to the parish authorities to consider
whether they would include the female prisoner in the
indictment. He ordered Worrall to find bail to appear
again at this court on Tuesday next, and he would bind
over Mrs. Chandley in her own recognizance to appear
on the same day.
Worrall—l am subject to aberrations in my mind. I
assure your Worship that extreme poverty and wretched-
ness have sometimes driven me to insanity.
Mrs. Chandley begged to be passed to her parish, St.
Pancras; and the parish officers consented to keep her
in their workhouse until she was regularly passed, and
also to take care of the children.
Worrall was then lucked up, and Mrs. Chandley was
protected from violence by the police.
WORSHIP-STREET.
A powerful fellow named Nicholas Kelly was charged
before Mr. llammill with an unprovoked and violent as-
sault upon Mr. John Keen, landlord of the Greyhound
public•house, Old-street, St. Luke's.
Tho complainant stated, that on the preceding
evening the prisoner entered his house and asked to
be supplied with liquor, but as he had evidently been
drinking freely witness refused to serve him, and re-
quested him to quit the place. The prisoner refused
to c:mply, and after assailing him with the most
scurrilous epithets seized him by the collar, and drag-
ging him to the street door flung him heavily upon the
pavement. They were followed out by the wife of com-
plainant, who endeavoured to interpose between them,
when the prisoner instantly knocked her down and
kicked her in a brutal manner as she lay on the ground.
The prisoner then renewed his attack upon complainant,
and in the struggle that ensued, they both fell to the
ground, but the prisoner immediately got up again, and
planting his foot upon complainant's neck commenced
beating him over the eyes and nose till they streamed
with blood, and afterwards kicked him about the body
and legs, which were covered all over with bruises. A
policeman fortunately came up at the moment, who
rescued him from further ill-treatment and took the
prisoner into custody.
Police-constable, G 51, corroborated the latter part of
the complainant's evidence, and added that, observing
blood proceeding from a cut in tilts prisoner's head, ap-
parently caused by the fall, he conveyed Win to the
residence of a surgeon, who was about dressing it, when
his pugnacious patient gave vent to his exasperated
feelings in a furious attack upon the doctor and his as-
sistant, who were compelled to use forcible means to
eject him from the surgery.
In answer to the charge the prisoner said, that he
had been drinking to excess, and had no recollection
of having conducted himself in the manner imputed to
him.

Mr. IJAmmiLL said, 'that the outrageous conduct of
the prisoner was without, the slightest palliation, and
he should order him to pay a penalty of 51., or com-
mit him in default for two months to the House of
Correction.
Henry Pre.4.lge, described as a commercial clerk, re-
siding in Cumberland-street, Hackney load, was charged
with having criminally assaulted Sarah Tate, a girl 12
years of age.
It appeared from the evidence of the girl that she was
engaged about six weeks since by the prisoner, who is a
married man with three children, as an attendant
upon his wife, but she had only been a fortnight in
his service, when he came down to the kitchen where
she was at work, before his family were up, and perpe-
trated the offence complained of. She was deterred
from communicating what had happened to her mis.
tress in consequence of the threats held out by the
prisoner, who told her that he would kill her if she
mentioned it to any one. A few days after the occur-
rence she became very ill, and the prisoner procured
some medicine of a peculiar description, which he di-
rected her to take, but she derived no benefit from it,
and her sickly appearance having sabsf.quently elicited
some inquiries from her father, she made him acquainted
with the vile conduct of the prisoner, and he immediately
gave instructions to the police for his apprehension.
Mr. Coward, the divisional aurgeon of police, gave
evidence which went fully to establish the commission
of a capital offence, and embraced other particulars,
tending materially to aggravate the flagrant nature of.
the case.

Mr. Jammu, expressed his intention to commit the
prisoner for trial, but ordervd him to be brought up
again for.the completion of the depositions.
A donation of ss. from " S. or L. II.," was received by
Mr. Hammill for the benefit of Sarah Ladd, the dis-
tressed scmpstress, whose case has been so fre-
quently noticed in our paper. The magistrate also
announced his receipt of the half of a 51 note; No.
56,729, from a lady, adopting the initials " A. 8.," who
wished it to be applied for the relief of a friendless and
destitute orphan boy named William Deane, who was
last week most brutally treated by a ruffian in Spital-
fields-market.

THAMES.
Handlion Murray, a broker, of 11, Angel-gardens,
Shadwell, appeared before Mr. Yardley, charged with
assaulting Eliza Gregory, and putting her in fear, and
also with levying an. excessive distress in the cottage of
her husband, Joseph. Gregory, of 1, Church-road, Step-
ney. Murray attempted to break open the door of the
house with a thick
,piece of wood, but after thumping
away for some time he was unable to do so; another
man, named Peter:Russell, a broker, next thumped at
the door with no better success. The door was then
forced, and the lock broken off by Murray and two others
with an iron bar. Slu. Tay no sooner entered than he
took a pistol from his pocket, and presenting it in the
direction of the inmates , consisting of Mrs. Gregory and
three other women, sr ore with a ttemendous oath he
would shoot the first pe :son who interfered with him iu
the execution of his dt ty, and that hi, had been to a
magistrate who authorize !d him to carry firearms for the
protection of his life. The women were overwhelmed
with terror and clung to each other. Mrs. Gregory, who
was very ill,.sank do wn on her bed, and Murray directed
one of his men to re move it, aril rudely pulled her off
the bed. An inventory of all the goods on tho pre-
mises was then mad out, and the broker and his com-
panions were about to remove everything off the pre-
mises, when Mrs. G tegory called in Mr. Jenkins of the
Royal Duke, close i iy, who acted the part of a good
Samaritan by redeeming the things for 2/. 4s• costs.
Mr. YARDLEY said, the distress was decidedly illegal,
and that Murray bad no mare right to break into the
cottage than.a loroker would.,have to force open the door

of a gentleman's mansion after obtaining an entrance
into his park. A more unwarrantable and oppressive
proceeding ha had never heard of, and he made an or(: r
on Murray for the return of the money paid by L'lr. Jen-
kins, and to pay the whole of the, costs. Ile was not
quite satisfit-d that Murray had legally committed an
assault in ex ibiting the pistol, and he would be dis-
chrged as rt-garded that part of the case, but if it-hod.
been proved that he actually presented it at Mrs. Gm-
gory or the other women he would have inflicted a vary
heavy penalty. As it was, he considered the defendant's
conduct most tyrannical and improper, and he warned
him not to exhibit a pistol again when he levied for rent.
Patrick Collins, an Irish labourer, who has been in
custody a fortnight, was brought up on remand, charged
with feloniously wounding a young man named George
Baggs, with intent to murder or to do him grievous
bodily harm.
The prisoner, in defence, said he was drunk at the
time the affray took place, and did not know what he
was about.

Mr. YARDLEY committed the prisoner for trial for the
felony.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
PORTSMOUTH, . SEPT. 26.—The frigate Indiaman
Blenheim, 1,400 tons, an addition to the splendid fleet
I of Messrs. T. and W. Smith, of Newcastle, arrived at
Spithead yesterday, from the Thames, and wilt sail to-
morrow for Calcutta direct. The Blenheim has been
launched about two months, and was, as usual, duly sur-
veyed by the surveyor's department of the Levy, in order
that her capability as a first-class fighting frigate might
ba tested with a view to her conversion into a man-of-
war, if necessary, at any future time. Her extreme
length is 205 feet; length, on the gun deck, 175 feet;
breadth, 42 feet; depth of hold, 14 feet 9 inches; has
ample for stowing six months' provisions, water,
&c.,
complete for 500 men. At present she has on board
about 1,100 tons of weight of various character, with
which she draws, upon an even keel, 19i feet, and
capacity
carries her midship port sill 8 feet 11 inches out of the
water. Her framing is all of English oak, and her
planking of African and Indian teak, thoroughly copper
fastened, as if built in a royal yard. The
gun-deck bow is fitted up entirely with cabins;
she
pumps,
ie
s patent s fifty first-class passengers; has Brown's
stoppers, and is fitted with Massey's patent
p which eject foul air, as well as water, from the
hold; she has Lang's tubes; and every berth is fitted
nuca,rr
w
with brass slides, to admit the air in fine weather, and
generally to ventilate the ship, an admirable invention of
one of the Messrs. Smith. She is flush decked, like the
modern-built frigates of the navy, and her bow and stern
ports are so constructed as to admit of firing the usual
number of guns from each deck even with the keel; in
short, she is fitted with the newest appointments and
improvements introduced into modern ship-building 01
the first class. Unlike the generality of ships of royal
dockyard construction,:the Blenheim has required no re-
pairs or alterations sine* she was launched, and has not
leaked a bucketful of water since she left the stocks. It
remains to be seen what she will do in sailing, but, if
anything may be judged from appearance, we should say,
few sailing•vessels afloat will beat her. She is com•
mended by one of the most experienced sailors in the
Indian navy, Captain Close.
The Cyclops steam-frigate, Captain the Hon. G. F.
Hastings, arrived this morning from Waterford, having
transferred the 200 Royal Marine Artillery she took
hence to the Dragon and Rhadamanthus, at Waterford,
on Friday last. She left those vessels and the Driver at
Waterford on the above day, and came into harbour
this afternoon to complete her fitting for the coast of
Africa, to which station she carries the mail on the Ist
proximo, and will relieve the Amphitrite, 25, Captain T.
R. Eden.
The Hecate steam-sloop, Commander R. Moorman,
was paid off yesterday.
The Lightning steam:tender, Petley Master, sailed to-
day for Sheerness with the officers and men who were
employed in bringing the Defence to this port. She
took with her in tow the Fanny, Admiral's yacht,
which has on board a large quantity of the effects of
Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, Bart., whose tenure of office
as Commander-in-Chief at this port expires on Saturday
next.

The dockyard riggers are employed in rigging the
Encounter steam-sloop as an advanced steamer.
Wind S.E., fresh breezes andcloudy weather.
WOWWWII, SEPT. 26.—The Atholl troop ship, Mas-
ter Commander Yearn, arrived at Woolwich at eleven
o'clock A.M. to-day, with two companies of the Royal
Artillery, from Quebec, under the command of Captain
Cullington. The companies landed at the dockyard, and
marched to the garrison at four o'clock ♦.a[.
The Princess Royal transport, having embarked two
companies of the Royal Artillery, and one company of
the Royal Sappers and Miners, was towed down the
river this morning on their passage to Gibraltar. Cap-
tain Adye, of the Royal Artillery, commands the coin-
panies.
The Vulture steam-vessel was taken to Sheerness
yesterday to be refitted, and will return to Woolwich to
have her engines put on board.
The Sharpshooter, Lieutenant-Commander Bailey,
will leave this port to morrow for trial with screw pro-
peller, and with sails, and if found to answer will proced
to Portsmouth.
The Stromboli steam-sloop, Commander Lord Ame-
lies Beauclerk, is ordered from the Cove of Cork to
Dublin.

The engines of 60 horse power, made by Messrs. Ron-
nie, are now ready for the Wasp steam-gun-vessel, build-
ing at Deptford. The Wasp is on the same lines as the
Reynard and Plumper ateam-versaelr.
PLYMOUTH, SEPr. 23.—0 n Saturday, after examin-
ing the ships in ordinary, the Lords of the Admiralty
proceeded to Saltram, the seat of the Earl of Morley,
which lies about two miles east of Plymouth, and there
partook of that nobleman's hospitality, returning after
dinner to their quarters at Moorhead's Royal Hotel,
Devonport.
It is stated that one of the objects of the Board in
visiting Saltram was to inspect a piece of contiguou,
shallow water, called Blackstone-bottom (part of the
Upper Lairs) proLalied to be reclaimed by the Earl of
Morley.
Yesterday (Sunday) Lord Auckland and all his col-
leagues attended church service on board her Majesty's
ship Caledonia, 120, Captain Thomas W. Carter, in
the Sound, and after service returned to dine at their
hotel.

This morning their Lordships embarked on board the
and, under salute, made a formal visit
of inspection Admiralty steamer Undine, Lieutenant-Commander
Henryx
board the Caledonia. They minutely
m
and mustered the crew. They next
visited
which forms the eastern boundary of
eaiiin
el
Bovisand,
P. Junes,tihi ne nodn
ship,
the Sound. On the Bovisand-pier at Statton-point a
half-moon battery has been recently completed. This
fortification was examined by the Board. It is mounted
with eight 56-pounders, and on the round towers at
each end is a large gun on a revolving platform, com-
manding the eastern entrance to the Sound. Inside the
batteries are new barracks, occupied by a lieutenant and
a detachment of Royal Artillerymen. From Bovisand
the visitors proceeded to the breakwater, and having sur-
veyed that stupendous work, with its recently erected
lighthouse and modern lantern, they again embarked on
board the Undine, which passed the Royal William Vic-
tualling yard between three and tour o'clock, and con-
veyed their Lordships to the dockyard.
This evening they dine with Admiral-Superintendent
Sir John Louis, and afterwards patronise the ball at
Moorshead's, in aid of the funds of the Naval and Mili-
tary Female Orphan Asylum, the only institution of the
sort in the kingdom.

Tho foundation-stone of thia establishment was laid
in April, 1846, by Earl Fortescue, and completed in 1847,
at an expense of 4,000/, raised by subscription. It
affords space for 100 orphans, but, through insufficient
D. 4115, accommodation is given only to 60, who are the
destitute children principally of seamen, soldiers, and
dockyard artificers dying in the public service.
This afternoon a dockyard lighter ran into a Plymouth
trawting•sloop, called the Mary, about two leagues west
of the Ratne Head. The hull of the Mary was much
boom,b .glif, and mainsail carried away.

DVERTISEM ENT.] 1 he Triumphs that are Daily
Achieved by Worsdeles Vegetable Restorative Pills,
prepared by John Kaye, Esq., of Dalton-hill, near Hud-
dersfield, are truly wonderful. The following remark-
able cures of nervousness and indigestion are taken from
several hundreds as illustrations:—Mr. Thomas l)arral,
of King-street, Dawley-green, writes, " was very
ill for the space of three weeks with a violent pain under
my left breast, a bad digestion, much hoarseness, and such
debility that I could scarcely attend to my employment;
but by taking a few doses of Kaye's Restorative Pills,
four each time, I was restored to perfect health." Mr.
Mulford, farmer, Kirby Cane, Norfolk, was afflicted for
ten years with great weakness and extreme pain, in
consequence of indigestion. By taking Kaye's Res-
torative Pills the distressing pain in his chest was re-
moved,and his health is greatly improved. Observe that
tars of John Kaye, together with a facsimile of
his signature, are printed on the directions for use
wrapped round each box. Sold by all respectable Che-
mists and Medicine Venders, price Is. lid., 2s. 9d., and
4s. 6d. each box.
THE IRISH REBELLION AND UNION. —THE
CASTLEREAGH PAPERS.—We observe that Mr. Colburn
announces for publication, on the 30th instant, " The
Memoirs and Correspondence of Viscount Castlereagh,"
edited by his brother, the present Marquis of London-
derry, printed uniformly with the Wellington and
Nelson dispatches. This important work is likely to
excite extraordinary interest at the present moment, on
account of its revelations regarding the Irish Rebellion
and Union.

MILDRED VERNON.—The Examiner appears to be
quite in the secret respecting the originals of the leading
characters in this extraordinary book. "It would not
be difficult (says the reviewer) to penetrate the disguise
of most of the social figures introduced. Others, promi-
nent as authors or politicians, are introduced in their
proper persons ; but it is quite as easy to discover M.
Thiers as M. Guizot, and, to any one acquainted with
Paris scandal, 13alzic and Berryer are not more recog-
nislt,le by their names than Madame de Contades,
Madame Cub 4.1'8, M. Manuel and Madame de Boigelin,
through the veil of a De Cevezes, Ferrie•es, Chavigny,
or Boislambert. Of these various personages the most
elsboratcd is Madame de CC ;z-s, drawn with unscru•
pulous pencil as a perfect specimen of the Paris lionne.
Mildred Vernon is an uncommonly clever book. As a
sketch of some of the phases of Parisian society, it con-
tains cleverer scenes than any similar novel we have
read for some years."
SALE or SHEEP.—Seven hundred half-bred Down
and Norfolk ewes, the property of the late Mr. Raven,
Summerfield House, Dorking, Norfolk, were brought to
the hammer on Wednesday last by Messrs. Beck and
Son; the shearligs averaged 50s. each, the two-shear .
sheep 545., and the 400 three-shear 465. each.

AUDITORS.—By an Act passed on the
31st of August, important alterations are made in the
poor-law, as regards parish officers, and will relieve
them from much difficulty and unpleasantness hitherto
experienced by them in going before the auditore.
Though auditors have not long been established, yet
many of them were so very unpleasant in the discharge
of their public duty that it was high time they were
shorn of some of the authority which they possessed.
Thanks to public opinion for the check which is now
put upon them.
ANOTHER. BODY OF A SUFFERER IN TIIE OCEAN
