casion was very strange, as after tea she said to the plain-
tiff, " A you not going to Hampstead, sir?" He seemed
much distressed at this, and left the house along with
me. I saw her at Hampstead shortly afterwards, ai.d
her husband was there. Her manner there also was
quite changed towards the plaintiff. After that her
husband went to join his regiment at Chichester, and he
wished her much to go with him, but she refused. I
was not present at any time, either at Middleton-square
or Hampstead, when letters from the plaintiff were four d.
Cross examined—Knew that some time prior to the
marriage Msss Middleton clandestinly left Mrs. Robson,
and came to live with me. I admit also that Mrs.
Robson came to me about three me, ks before the
marriage inquiry for Miss Middleton, and that I said I
did not know anything about her. She was at the time
under my roof, and that the banns of marriage were
ordered to be proclaimed. I never at any time commu-
nicated ;with Mrs. Robson about the marriage of her
ward with the plaintiff. I received after the marriage a
sum of money for the board and lodgings of the
plaintiff and his wife, but I cannot say whether the board
for Miss Middleton prior to the marriage was included.
recollect, in settling the property of .Mi,s Middleton
before marriage, that it was agreed she should live a ith
me, and that I should be allowed 801. a year for board.
Roth plaintiff and Miss Middleton were under age at the
time of the marriage.
Captain Blair, of the 3d Buffs, examined—At the
time the plaintiff joined the regiment it was in India.
He joined it the latter end of 1839, as ensign. The
regiment was not on active service at the time, nor till
some time after, though it had orders from time to time
to be ready. In 1842 the regiment was en •
gaged in Sinde, and was present at Ferezepore.
It was not possible, during this time of the
regiment being in the upper provinces, for an ensign
or lieutenant to save much out of his pay. I know this
as a married man. In 1840 I recollect the plaintiff ob-
taining leave of absence to go to Calcutta in expectation
of his wife coming out. The distance is one thousand
miles, and is considered a three months' journey. He
rejoined the regiment at Karnaut, and continued with it
till it was ordered home.
Mary Ann Green examined—My husband is Thomas
W. Green, a rope and mattrass warehouseman, in Fen-
church-street, and resides at Michael-square, Hackney-
road. We formerly lived at 10, Portman-place, Edge-
ware-road. Mrs. Rohson, the plaintiff's wife, came to
live with us in 1839. Her husband came with her, and
arranged to pay 504 a-year. Mr. Robinson left in about
six weeks. I and my husband accompanied them to
Chatham on the embarkation of the plaintiff to India.
Their parting was very affectionate. Mrs. Robson con-
tinued with me np till June 1840. While residing with
me her child died, while she was on a visit at Roehamp-
ton. It was buried from our house in February 1840.
She was, during the time she lived with me, visited by a
family named Allan, also by a Mrs. Boldon, from Pad-
dington. She liven at first a very retired life. On leav-
ing us she went to lodge with Mrs. Kearney. During
all this time Mr. Ruding never visited. Mrs. Robson
came back to lodge with us in January, 1841, and
took the first floor, consisting of a sitting room and bed-
room, communicating by a single door. She partially
boarded with us. Shortly after her return Mr. Ruding
began to visit her. His visits commenced, I think, in
April. He visited about twice a week, and generally in
the evening. He often took tea with her, and I never knew
the hour that he left. We usually retired to rest about 11
o'clock, and I never knew him leave before. The room
we occupied as a parlour was below Mrs. Robson's bed-
room. I cannot recollect having heard the footsteps of
two persons in the bedroom at the same time. The ser-
vant, Smith, generally opened the door for the defend-
and showed him up stairs. I do not recollect having
remonstrated with Mrs. Robson in the presence
of the defendant. I had a letter from Mr.
Ruding, solicitor, but I have had no interview with any
one off his account. I have seen the person who called
himself Mr. Ruding a great many times, at my house,
perhaps a hundred times in all. I recollect Mrs. Rob-
son being very ill one night in 1841. A pair of addi-
tional sheets were ordered that night. Emma Smith,
the servant, ordered them. Prior to that I had
noticed a great increase in the size of Mrs.
Robson, but I did not, however, make any ob-
servation to Mrs. Robson about it. A nurse was
called in. Some time before this a surgeon named Mr.
Rugg had attended her, but on the present occasion Mr.
Peed, Lisson-grove, was called in. He was sent for at
two o'clock in the morning. The gentleman named
Rnding called nett day. So I was told
(the servant). Shortly after this illness Mrs.
Robson had a fainting fit ; the defendant had just come
in, and he assisted me, with the servant, in undressing
her and getting her to bed. He called her by the name

The policeman stated that the prisoner had confessed
the robbery when be was apprehended.
Captain GrimstOn identified the watch.
Mr. Justice PArrEsoN summed up, and the jury im-
mediately returned a verdict of guilty. The prisoner
was sentenced to one years' imprisonment, with hard
labour.
At the close of the case, Captain Grimstone said, that
by Mr. Jardine's advice, ho applied to the Court
to ascertain to whom he should give the reward which
he had offered for the recovery of the watch. There
were three persons claiming it,—the policeman, a gre-
nadier, and.the pawnbroker.
IIisLORDSHIP intimated that he did not sit there to
give advice on such points as this.
Captain Grimston—l only obey my orders, my Lard.

CLERKEN WELL.-(THIS DAY.)
The Court was occupied during a considerable time
this morning in hearing a counter-charge preferred by
a female against Constable 240 G, under the following
circumstances :

The constable charged her with being drunk and dis
orderly, and in answer she said the charge wits false,
and had been preferred by the constable, because, after
treating him and another to gin at the Pewter Platter
public-house, in Charles-street, Hatton-garden, she re-
fused to allow him to take improper liberties with her.
She stated that she was a person of respectable conduct
and character, and worked for Mr. Winker, of No. 4,
North-place, and other extensive shopkeepers.
Mr. COMBE said this was a case which required in-
vestigation, and he should adjourn it to get the evidence
of the other constable, and some person from the public-
house.

of Marian at the the time. After she was put to bed I
and the servant went out and left him there. I
remarked at the time, to the servant, in de-
fendants hearing that "I did not consider bi:n

In about an hour those parties arrived, and their evi-
dence having been taken,

Mr. CoMI said he considered that the policeman had
made out his charge against the prisoner, while she had
failed in substantiating her's against him, and he should
consequently fine her ss. for being drunk.
John Orton was charged with stealing a quantity of
grains from the brewery of Messrs. Reid and Co., of
Liquorpond street. _ _

a proper person to attend a married lady, and that I

- -
was a more fit person to do so." He made no answer.
Shortly after he went out, and returned with some
medicine for her. He visited her after during her ill
ness. She Rept her bed for about nine days, and he
visited her in her sleeping apartment. On other occa-
sions, when Mrs. Robson was well, I have seen him
from the garden standing at her bed-room window,
I have seen him often there. Once subsequently to the
illness Mrs. Ruding invited me to accompany him, w ith
Mrs. Robson, to the theatre, but I refused. Mr. Rucling
continued his visits till the latter end of IS4I, when Mrs.
Robson left. About a year after this, when Mrs.
Robson had gone to Italy, we received a letter from
Mr. Ruding about a portrait that was in their
pove,sion, and wishing it to be forwarded. I know the
handwriting of Mr. Ruding and have a note from him in
my pocket; it is art answer about an application made
for a situation to my nephew. The postcript in answer
to the first letter was addressed to Mr. ling,
Salvador Housa, Bishopgate•street, and the letter
of application to which the second lvtter
is an answer, was also addressed in the same way. My
servant cannot .read, but I have sf en letters lying on
Mrs. Robson's table, addressed to Mr. lludirg. I have
afterwards seen those letters in the hand of my servant,
she having brought them from the drawing room to the
parlour in order to be parted. They were in Mrs. Rob-
son's hand- writing.

w. It appeared that latterly the system of pillage going
on by lads like the
.prisoner, who were continually on
the watch at the grain•shoot when the dairy•carts were
loaded, had very much increased, and several complaints
had been made at the station•-house. The prisoner was
observed last night in the act of taking avt ay a large
hamper, which he had tilled from the shoot in Liquor-
pond-street, when he was apprehended.
Mr. COBIBE said be understood all these grains acre
contracted for, and inquired whether the contractor was in
attendance.

Sergeant Boyce replied that he was net.
Air. CO3IIIE said if roof& made complaints; and then
when the thief was discovered, did not ch lose attend
to prosecute, the system was encouraged by thetas:ve:.
only. As no one was present to prosecute, he should
discharge the prisoner.
Mr. Mallet, the chief clerk, stated that a benevolrc:
individdal, under the initial signature C. V., had
transmitted a donatien.of 51. for the r,:lief of such do•
serving objects as the presiding magistrate might select.

MARLBRff-STREET.--(THIS DAY..)
John Burke was
,charged with committing an assault
on James Corbet.

Emma Smith, —the servant, proved the posting the
letters.

Cross-examined—l believe that on several occasions
Mrs. Robson gave lessons in musi2. I was also told
that Mr. Ruding was very find of Music. I never knew
Mrs. Robson to be very short of money, though I knew
that she sold an outfit she had purchased to go out to
India. I do not recollect Mr. Pead or Mr. Wilkinson
visiting. _ _ _

Mrs: Green re-examined—l have heard Mr. Ruding
speak about the Buffs, and state that Mr. Robson was
expected home in March in the year following Mrs.
Robson's illness. I often heard Mr. Ruding speak about
the five baths he had in Nottingham-place. Mr. Ruding
represented himself to be Mrs. Robson's friend and
benefactor, and had nursed her when a child.

The complainant, an apprentice to a collier, said he
went last night to the Queen's Theatre, Tottenham-
street, Tottenham-court-road, and arrived there before
the doors were opened; but the prisoner, who was late,
got upcn the rails at a private door in the neighbour-
hood of the theatre, and jumped down on his shoulders,
and when the complainant refused to bear him on his
shoulders, the prisoner, still standing on them, lifted his
hob-nailed shoe and stamped upon his bead so as to cut
it open.

The prisoner said he was thrown off the rails by
another, and could not avoid getting upon the boy's
shoulders.

Myers, the officer of the theatre, said it was a conti-
nual practice followed by the young lads who were late
in coming, to jump off these rails on any one, woman or
man, no matter whom, in order to get in first. It was
impossible to prevent it except by severe punishment.
Mr. HARDWICK sentenced the prisoner to a fine of
205., or ten days' imprisonment.
Luke Farrell, a most miserable looking wretch, was
charged with stealing a pint pot.
Joseph Silk, stableman' Mason's Arms•yard, proved
the taking of the pot by the prisoner.
The prisoner said, when asked why he had done so,
that his life was miserable, that he had been a soldier,
and was discharged. He was born in the Isle of France;
his father was there in the 87th Regiment. He had beets
two years in London, and during all that time he had
been gathering bones and rags, and trying to live ; but
he was both naked and starving. His clothes were such,
and his dirty appearance, that no one would now em-
ploy him or trust him ; and so wretched was he, that he
would prefer being shot to continuing the kind of life
he had been compelled to live.
The Mendicity officers said they had seen hint about
the streets begging and gathering rags
Mr. HARDWICK sent him for a month to the House
of Correction, for the unlawful possession of the pint pot.

The examination of witnesses was still going forward
when our report left, and the case, it is expected, will
occupy the Court all day to•morrow.

SECONDARIES'.-(THIS DAY.)

JONES U. BEULIENIER.

The plaintiff in this case, is a cabinet-maker in Duke-
street, Aldgate, and the defendant is a tradesman resid-
ing in the same place. The action was brought to
recover the amount of goods sold and delivered.
Mr. Thomas appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Wilde
for the defence.

The facts were these :—ln May, 1845, defendant or-
dered furniture to a considerable amount, which was
delivered. A dispute arose, however, about some chairs,
and, eventually, they were delivered fifteen months after-
wards. The chairs were tendered on a Sunday morn-
ing, and refused. The goods previously delivered
were paid for at the time, the question for the jury was,
whether defendant had by his own act caused any delay.
Several witnesses were called, those for the plaintiff
making out the plaintiff's case " beyond all doubt
(as Mr. Wilde said), unless defendant's witnesses beat
them."—(Laughter.
Defendant's witnesses swore in support of his case,
but the.

TUB STATE OF THE RIVER.—The Thames already
exhibits vast floating masses of ice, and a fall of snow,
followed up by the existing severe frost will, in the opi
nions of old and experienced watermen, render the navi-
gation of the river above bridge impossible. Yesterday
numbers of men had to be employed in clearing away
the drift ice that had collected round the various steam-
boat piers before the vessels could touch. The damage
done yesterday to the floats of the paddlewheels in the
above bridge steamers, by collision with the ice, was
very great. The Putney boat was obliged to lay up
yesterday afternoon, not being able to pass through
Putney-bridge. Above that structure the river is ti
field of ice.

SHERIFFS' COURT.—(THIS DAY)
A notice was posted this day at the Sheriff's Court,
Red Lion-square, that the Court will not sit on Thurs-
day next, but the cases not tried to-morrow, will be tried

Miller soon after entered, and was joined almost imme-

these he was induced to go to a public-house in the
neighbourhood, leaving young Atkins in the shop with
the other, and in care of the property. His companion
soon left him, and not returning his suspicions was ex-
cited, and on going to the shop he found the other man
gone away, and the goods missing. Miller and Scott
had since confessed to the robbery.
B. Davis, a policeman, having learned to whom the goods
were sold, went to Mr. De Freeze's shop, and inquired
whether he had bought any plated articles ? He said
that he had, on the 29th September, and had given 48/.
for them. That was three days after the goods were '
stolen.
J. Pike said that he bought the gocds of the prisoner•
for 211. De Frecz,.t's shop was an open shop, like a
broker's, and he saw them exhibited in the window.
After a week's negotiation ho agreed to purchase them,
and paid 21L for the lot on the 9th of October. He after-
wards sold several of them to different parties.
Henry Bull, jeweller, of Goodman's-fields, stated that
he had bought part of the articles produced in court of

COLUMBUS SOClETY.—Yesterday a numerous meet-
ing of persons interested- in
ingeographical inquiry was
held at the London Library, St. James's-square, for
the formation of a society under the above name, the
object of which is the re-publication of ancient works
and travels illustrative of geographical research. The
chair was taken by Sir R. I. Murchison, the late Presi-
dent of the Royal Geographical Society, and several re-
solutions for the formation and conduct of the society
were adopted.

EXPERIMENTS AT WOOLWICH MAnsuEs.7—Mr.
Lancaster, jun., carried on experiments yesterday
(December 15th), with the rifle ball, submitted by him,
in the form of a sugar loaf. The experiments were made
in the presence of Lieutenant-Colonel Dundas, C. 13.,
who appeared highly satisfied with the result. About
40 rounds were fired, some at 1,200 yards, some at 900
yards and 600 yards. The whole of the firing was e'er.)
good, and, at 1,200 yards, the balls entered the target
to the depth of an inch. The first three rot:nds, at 900
yards each, entered the bull's eye, the aim being so
correctly taken, and the form of the ball ensuring a
correct course, at that considerable distance, for small
arms.

At the Insolvency Court, Liccoln Castle, the other
day, a labourer named Sleight Hill, petitioned to be dis-
charged:; he had no means of paying beyond his daily
wages as a servant in husbandry to his father, and had
incurred no debts, except that for which he was sued.
His brother was in a small way of trade in London, and
bad induced him (the insolvent) to sign his name on a
blank stamp, which he said would be filled up for 2007. ;
the brother went into partnership, failed, and died soon
after. The insolvent was sued on the note, which had
been paid away, and was taken in jadgment. The
Learned Commissioner sentenced him to six months'
imprisonment for giving a false appearance of sequrity,
where none existed, and would have *Bed aheavier sen-
tence but from the absence of certain Qvidence about the

ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.
ETHIOPIAN SERENADERS.
The Ethiopian Serenaders made their first appearance
for the'season here last evening. They gave divers old
favourites, and one or two new pieces. Among the
latter " Mary Blanc" was the most noticeable. It is one
of those little tragic domestic dramas of slavery which
go further to produce in the mind of any right-minded
nan an utter hatred and repugnance to the atrocious
system, than any speeches or arguments. Mary Blane is
a negress who is married. lier owner separates her from
her husband, and sells her to a distant plantation. She
runs away, and dies in the woods of want, and the
husband dies of a broken heart. Mary Blane and
Lucy Neal, as sung by the Ethiopian serenaders, will
better serve the purposes of the abolitionists than all
the speeches that have ever been delivered on all the
platforms in England and Amezica. They appeal at
once to the heart ; and, in such a cause, an appeal,
to the heart is irresistible ; it disarms sophistry
and is superior to all the reasoning in the world.

From his (vela. But it is not only as a musician that
Pill is great. He is great also as a comic actor. Let
any of our first rate comedians—Lur professional
" makers of fun"—try to be comic, seated in a chair, and
they will at once be compelled to yield the palin
to Pell. He has the humour of the legs—
there is not a kick of the heels, not a cross-
ing of the legs, not a motion of the arms (and
who can give such eccentric motions to the arms
as Pell), but what has meaning in it. He is the foun-
der of a new school of humour, in which, doubtless, he
will have many tblbvvers ; but to him is due the honour
of being the originator of the school. Before we con-
clude, one word of advice to the Ethiopian serenaders.
Gentlemen, your school is essentially national. Beware
how you attempt to make it otherwise, by ingrafting
on it the slang of the lower orders of the English.
We thought we observed a slight tendency to do this
in some of your new songs. Avoid it altogether.
As much nigger slang as you like, the more the better.
American nigger slang can never be vulgar in England,
because it is not the slang of the English vulgar ; but
for your own sakes keep up to the highest pitch the in-
tense American nigger nationality which has hitherto
constituted the great charm, because it is the great
novelty of your performances. The house was crowded
to excess in every part, and the performances went off
admirably.

RECAL OF THE FRENCH CONSUL
FROM MAURITIUS.
There is every reason to believe that the French
Consul at the Mauritius, M. Barbet de Jouy, has, on
account of his unwarrantable letter to the English Ad-
miral Dames, been recalled by his Government.
The following are the circumstances of the case:—
Admiral llacres was invited to a ball by the officers on
the station. According. to etiquette a list of the guests
were laid before him, and on the name of the French
Consul meeting his eye, he observed that that gentleman
had omitted to pay him his respects according to usage.
Thereupon two officers waited npon the French Consul
to withdraw the invitation, with a courteous explanation
of the cause. The Consul, so tar from apologising,
wrote an insulting letter to the Admiral, which the
latter enclosed to his Government. Lord Palmerston
laid the case before the French Government, and the
latter hare decided in the way we have just intimated.

SUSPICIOUS DEATH OF A SAlLOR.—Yesterday
Mr. W. Carter held an adjourned inquest, at the Swan
Tavern, Battersea-bridge, upon the body of a man un-
known, who had been found drowned. The body had
been picked up on Thursday last, as it floated up with
the tide, and conveyed to the above house. It had been
in the water some time, but there weremif somearlis
ligature
eoef
ill-usage. The neck was discoloured, as
had been fastened round it, and there were two incised
wounds on the face. The circumstances were so sus-
picious, that the coroner adjourned the inquiry for a
post mortem examination. Yesterday Dr. W. Connor
deposed to having examined the body. From the ap-
pearances, his opinion was that deceased died from im-
mersion in the water, although there were marks of some
violence, but not sufficient to prove fatal. Two young
women, living in the neighbourhood of the Commercial-
road, were examined with regard to the identity of the
deceased. They both stated their belief, but refused to
swear positively, that his name was Robert Pepper, and
he had been a boatswain. He was last seen alive about
two months since, when he joined the Pestonjee
manjee, which was lying off Woolwich with convicts
for Sydney. Pepper bad, it appeared, been shipped by
a Jew named Solutions when intoxicated, and when ho
knew the vessel he was going into he became very dis-
pirited. The witnesses, however, had believed him to be
on his voyage to Sydney. The jury returned the fol..
lowing verdict:—" That the deceased was found drowned
in the Thames; that he had no maths of violence as to
cause death; but who he was, or by what means he came
into tho water, the jury have not sufficient evidence to
determine."

SUDDEN DEATH IN TEE STREETS.—Yesterday an
inquest was held before Mr. Baker, at the Bell, in Petti-
coat-lace, Whitechapel, on the body of Jacob Mormon,
aged seventy years, a sugar baker, in the employ of

day evening last the deceased was proceeding along
Petticoat-lane, when he suddenly staggered and fell to
the ground. He was immediately raised from the ground
by a City police-constable, who discovered him in a state
of insensibility. He was conveyed to the above house.
but he expired beforche reached there: Verdict, "Na.
tural death."
