CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.

(Before the RECORDER and Mr. Alderman MooN.)
Charles Bagley pleaded Guilty to an indictment charg-
ing him with breaking into the dwelling-house of
Charles Rymer, with intent to steal, on the 19th Sep-
tember last; and

The RECORDER sentenced him to twelve months'
imprisonment and hard labour.
ATTEMPT TO COMMIT ARA William Willis, a
respectable man in appearance, and a surgeon, carrying
on his profession in Paradise-row, Rotherhithe, sur-
rendered this morning to take his trial upon an indict-
ment charging him with an attempt to commit a rape
upon the person of Adelaide Sawyer, a young woman
between 18 and 19 years of age, on the 16th of August
last.

Mr. Parry was counsel for the prosecution, and Mr.
Clarkson and Mr. Bodkin defended the prisoner.
From the statements of the counsel for the prosecu-
tion and the evidence called in support of it, it appeared
that the prosecutrix had been a servant in the house of
the prisoner for three weeks previous to the evening on
which the offence was alleged to have been committed;
that on the evening of the 18th of August the
prisoner came down inte the kitchen, and that there
the offence charged in the indictment was committed.
The evidence of the prosecutrix in chief was not fit, in
many parts, for publication, but went to prove the state-
ments made by Mr. Parry of the attempt on the part of
the prisoner.
The prosecutrix underwent a severe (cross-axamina-
tion by Mr. CLARKSON, on behalf of the prisoner, but
her evidence in chief was not shaken by it with respect
to the attempt of the prisoner. The prosecutrix denied
that she had ever been discharged from situations she
had previously held on account of dishonesty or a habit
of telling falsehoods.
After the examination of two other witnesses for the
prosecution,
Mr. CLARKSON addressed the jury for the prisoner,
contending that no case had been made out against him,
the evidence of the prosecutrix being unworthy of belief.
(The trial had not concluded when our report left.)

IVE If COURT.
(Before the CoMMoN SERGEANT.)
The Court was occupied during the whole of the
morning in trying Mint prosecutions, for uttering coun-
terfeit coin, but none of them presented any feature be-
yond those which generally characterise cases of this
description.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(THIS DAY.)
(Before the ASSISTANT-JUDGE and County Magistrates.)
The October adjourned sessions were opened this
morning at the Sessions 'louse, Clerkenwell.
The calendar is unusually light.
The cases disposed of this morning were of a trivial
character, presenting no feature of the slightest interest,
except that, upon the conviction of a youth for larceny,
The ASSISTANT-JUDGE observed, in passing sentence,
that the boy had been twice convicted before, and was
now old enough and bad enough to have an asylum and
a chance of reformation at Parkhurst.

SURREY SESSIONS-(THIS DAY.)

- -
Magistrates.)

Bank of England notes, and two sovereigns, from the
person of Samuel Goodie.
The prosecutor on the night of the lat instant, was
proceeding along the Borough, when he was accosted by
the prisoner, who, after some conversation put her hands
in his pocket, and stole his money. A constable coming
up at the time, she was secured. The purse coataining
the money was found in the street, where it had bees
thrown by the prisoner in the presence of the constable.

GUILDHALL.-(THIS DAY.)
This morning Frederick 11 bite and name's Cart-
wright, two Grenadier Guardsmen, were placed at the
bar, before Mr. Alderman Gibbs, charged with having
purloined Bs. 4d. from one of the Paris National Guard,
who now, with many of his comrades, is on a visit t°
the metropolis.
Joseph Dalton, policeman in private clothes No. 366,
said about half past eight last night he saw the prisoner
walking down Fleet-street, arm-in-arm with two
of the National Guard. Anticipating that soul°
difference night arise between them, he followed and
saw them go into the Green Dragon public-house. One
of the National Guard put down half-a-sovereign tor the
purpose of having something to drink, which W
picked up and called for some rum and shrub. He paid
for what they had, amounting to Is. Bd., and put the
change into his pocket. On coming out the National
Guard asked for his change, but White denied that
he had anything belonging to him. On witness
interfering, White and Cartwright became very Yi°-
lent. They struck witness and a brother officer
several times, and Cartwright endeavoured to rescue
his comrade. On being searched two half-crowns,
two shillings, two sixpences, and fourpence were
found upon White, which were the moneys given in
change.
Danteville, ono of the National Guards, who was ex"
mined, completely corroborated the evidence of the p°'
'iceman. He arrived last night in London by the trait/
and was proceeding with a comrade along Fleet-street'
when two soldiers came up and took them by the arms
and proposed that they should go into a public-house.
Both the prisoners denied the charge.
Mr. Alderman Guns said the conduct of the two pri-
soners was most disgraceful. lie should sentence Whit°
to one month's hard labour in the House of Correction.
and Cartwright, whose case was not so bad, haring 0017
interfered to rescue his comrade, to ECVCII days'
sonment.
The prisoners were then locked up.

Thomas .Edzeins, who has been employed for the lass
15 months as a porter at the Brick-lane station of the

posed that he was on duty, at about eleven o'clock lot
evening, when he observed the prisoner busy among the
casks of wine, at the goods warehouse, he presently per-
ceived him look around, and in an instant afterwards the
plttg of a wine hogshead was started by
the prisonwho held a great jug in his hand, and which be hadl
