Sarah Errington and Elizabeth Wesley, two women of
the town, were charged with committing the following
daring highway robbery:—
Henry Thomas Jones, who described himself as a
clerk, stated that he was going home at a little after
twelve on Saturday night, and had proceeded about half
way up Dean-street, Westminster, when the prisoners
followed him, and Errington suddenly coming up to him
swore that be should give her something for bringing
her all that way. He was much surprised, and told her
that he had not taken her out of the way. She then said
that if he did not immediately give her something she
would knock his brains out. The prisoner Wesley then
came up with two men, who placed themselves on either
side of him, and gave Errington sixpence to let him go.
She passed the money to Wesley, and told her to look at
it and see if it was good, after which she said, " this
won't do for me, I must have more." Prosecutor then
told her that he would give her no more, and that
if she did not go off he would cry " Police." She
then caught hold of him by the breast of the coat
with such violence as to tear it, and exclaimed
" Down with him." Prosecutor struggled to get
away from her, and as he was doing so felt her
hand in his pocket and immediately afterwards
missed five shillings. He called "police," and the pri-
soners and the men ran away. He forthwith gave infor-
mation to the police, and the prisoners were apprehended
a few:minutes afterwards. The men did nothing at the
time:he was being robbed, but stood on either side of
him as though prepared to act if he offered any re-
sistance.

William Wadlowe, 238 A, proved meeting the pri•
soners together in Chapel.street, Westminster, at about
a quarter to one o'clock, and taking them into castody,
when they were immediately identified by the pro-
secutor.
The accused said they knew nothing about the rob-
bery.
William Nowlan, 56 B, proved that the prisoner
Wesley was tried and convicted of felony in October
last, and imprisoned for six months with hard labour.
The prisoners were fully committed for trial.
THAMES.
John _Richmond, a twine-spinner,i residing in Wal-
worth, who appeared to be n a weakly condition from
recent loss of blood, was brought before Mr. Yardley,
charged with attempting to murder his wife and after-
wards inflicting wounds on his own throat.
Mr. YARDLEY said, the case must inevitably go before
&jury, and that before it was finally disposed of, it would
be necessary to have the evidence of Mr. Robertson. the
surgeon who attended Mrs. Richmond after she was
wounded. lie remanded the prisoner till to-morrow,
and directed that he should be closely watched.

A MAN SHOT.—On Saturday night last, about
vvelve o'clock, Mr. Godfrey Holden, farmer, of Darton,
near Barnsley, heard some parties about his promises,
and on looking out of the window saw three men, two
"Pon the roof of the house, taking off the slates, the
hied standing upon the ground. The farmer fired his
an through the window at the thieves, and one of them
'ell, but was carried off by his comrades. On the fol-
lowing morning a wounded man was found in a stable
belonging to Mr. Tetty, at Darton, about half a mile
from Mr. Holden's farm' . His name is Samuel Gled-
bill, and he is now at his house on Worsborough Com-
mon, without the least chance of recovering, a bullet
having entered between his thigh and his body. Mr.
Holden had had a great number of fowls stolen within
the last ten days, and other farmers in the neighbour-
whilst backing a horse, the animal
neighbour-
hood suffered similarly.
Shortly
even w who
afterwards,
inquest was held on the bodyession of accidents which
of Nathan Parr, aged fifty-
terminated in his death. A fortnight ago he hurt his
left thumb, it having been jammed between two casks.
snapped at him and bit him between the wrist and the
elbow. The pain resulting from this accident extended
from the arm into the body ; but when he began to re-
cover from the effects,
his work, ho fell suddenly
and was nearly able to return to
upon the footpath outside his
own door, and received a severe cut on the right side of
his head. He probably might have recovered from this
latter accident had not lock-jaw, resulting from the in-
jury to the thumb,
set in, and that speedily finished his
earthly career. Verdict, " Accidental death."—Liver-
pool Mail.
SINGULAR CAI'TURE.—A fine stag, two years old,
was captured on Friday, by the crew of the Laurina,
Wedlock, master, on her voyage from Watchet to
Swansea, about two miles off the Foreland, and brought
safe and sound to the latter port. Whether the heat of
the chase, or latent desire to behold his graceful antlers
reflected in the pellucid mirror of the deep, induced the
frolicsome creature to play the wild rover, we cannot
conjecture; but certain it is the long swim he had taken,
although it had wetted his kicket, had by no
means
damped his ardour, for after he had been taken on
board the ves, el he became so restive that it was found
necessary to fasten him to a ring bolt on deck. Mr.
Thomas, shipbroker, has since purchased the animal for
51., and, from the care taken of it, it is very probable ho
will never again have an oortunity of alarming the
sailors, who verily believed,p from seeing the horns at a
distance, that it was Old Nick himself taking a cooling
and refreshing bathe. We hear that this stag had
shown the DevOn and Somerset hounds considerable
sport, and when the huntsman had all but, as they sup-
posed, secured their game, their mortification may be
imagined at perceiving, from the brink of the hill, the
capture of the stag by the sailors, who bore off the much-
prized forest venison to a port across the channel.—
