MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(THIS DAY.)
William Parker pleaded not guilty to an indictment
charging him with assaulting Henry Hand on the 30th of
January last.
Henry Hand was in the shop of Mr. Palmer on the 26th
of January last, and saw the defendant and Mr. Dank!
there. He'went into the shop because he heard the words,
" You have no need to put your fist in my face." He heard
Mr. Parker abusing Mr. Carter. On Mr. Parker leaving he
said " Stop a little," when he turned round and struck him
a violent blow on the eye. When he asked him to stop he
did not pull him by the collar, nor did he abuse him. We
went into the street and had another fight. We fell, Mr.
Parker being undermost.
Elizabeth Shaw corroborated the prosecutor's statement.
George Cater also corroborated it, and said that the defen-
dant owed him 501., and it was through asking for the money
that the assault began.
Mr PARNELL, who appeared for the prisoner, contended
that his client was struck first, and concluded by calling
Mr. Dankins, who said he did not see any blow struck in
the shop

The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and he was sen•
;enced to pay a fine of 10/, or be imprisoned until it be paid,

MARLBRO'-S 9`REET.-(1' HIS DAY.)

M'Leary were brought beiore Mr. Bingham' charg-d by In-
spector Lund and Sergeant Langley. of the detective police,
with having in their possession a die for making counter-
feit half-crowns.
Inspector Lund stated that from information he had
received, he and Sergeant Langley had been watching
the prisoners for the last three weeks. Yesterday afternoon
he watched the prisoners into Regent-street, and then appre-
hended them. They offered great resistance, and after some
difficulty they were lodged in the police station, where they
were searched, and in the possession of Shea was found the
die (a double one) produced; and on M'Leary was found
seven sovereigns and a half-crown.
Mr. I3tiwant remanded the prisoners until Tuesday next
for the attendance of Mr. Powell, the Mint solici or, who
had stated to Inspector Lund, that he had no doubt they
belonged to a regular organized gang of coiners.
Inspector Lund informed Mr. .Bingham that the tradesmen
in Regent-street, and the immediate neighbourhood, had
complained to him that the circulation of counterfeit coin,
especially half-crowns, had bec )me so great, that in some in-
stances as many as a dozen had been taken in the course of
a day.

THE CITY OF GLASGOW SCREW STEAM-SHIP.—
LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAT.--At a quarter past four this after-
noon the above-named steam-ship left the Mersey on her
second voyage from this port to Philadelphia, having on
board 86 passengers and more than 600 tons of fine freight.
The passengers appeared in high spirits, and the afternoon
being very fine the number of spectators on both sides of
the river was considerable. The City of Glasgow is the
first steamer that ever entered Philadelphia from this side of
the Atlantic. She is commanded on this, as on her last
voyage, by Captain Mathews, to whom a public dinner was
given in Philadelphia. to celebrate the opening of the steam
line from Liverpool to that port. The recent voyages out
and home, between Liverpool and Philadelphia, were in every
respect successful.
JANE WILBRED AND JANE WILBRED'B Box.—
The Sloanes, man and wife—brute of brute, and wretch of
wretch—have confessed, and are sentenced. They are to
have two years' imprisonment, and without hard labour.
They are to be withdrawn awhile from the world, and their
daily meals to be found them-without their daily handiwork.
And they will have warm,denent raiment and bedding they
who starved, striped, and outraged to the national scandal
their workhouse victim 1 Wherefore was Jane Wilbred
wholly assaulted in her persen ? Very nearly did her per-
secutors break into "the house of life ;" a little more, and
the wretched drudge would have slipped through their fury
hands. But Jane Wilbred, on the very threshold of death,
is avenged ; and the monsters who outraged the sanctity of
human nature in her pers es are imprisoned, without labour,
fur—two years. What a pity that Jane Wilbred suffered
alone ! What a pity that her box—it indeed she had one—
had not been as roughly handled as Jane Wilbred's suffering
body ! Had the deal lid been forced, and a riband valued
twopence. a cap, a comb, been taken therefrom by either of
the Sloanes--then would the law have arrayed itself in
tremendous terrors; then would it have pronounced im-
prisonment—transportation it might be—with daily slavery.
But it was only human flesh that was striped; only human
feelings that were outraged; and the evil-doers, the evil
not being worked upon property, have the milder punish-
ment. How lucky for the Sloanes that they ill-used only
Jane Wilbred, and spared Jane Wilbred's box! Punch.
AN " OWL" IN A WESLEYAN PuLPlT.—There Was
a great fluster amongst the attendants at the morning ser-
vice in the Wesleyan chapel, St. Sidwell's, on Sunday week,
in consequence of the quaint appearauce of' that bird of ill
omen—the owl. Before the minister ascended, the pulpit,
the chapel-keeper went up to see that. " all was right,"
when lo 1 his place was pre-occupied by this forlorn bird,
nearly "as black as a raven." The good woman was
frightened, and induced a young man to capture this unwel-
come intruder; but the bird, on his approach towards it,
became affrighted, and took to its wing, test being pursued,
it was finally captured, and is now, we hear, safely impri-
soned in a cage.
EXTENSIVE ROBBERY.—On TueEday, information
was received that about twelve o'cloeckntaertedOnenoon,
of
aladtyh'enAaTleads
Lee, residing at St. John's-wood,
omnibuses in the Regent-circus to proceed to her dwelling;
at the same moment a man of gentlemanly appearance also
entered the vehicle, and seated himself by the side of Mrs
Lee, with whom he entered into conversation. On the om-
nibus reaching Upper Baker-street he hastily alighted, and
took to his heels. Mrs. Lee instinctively felt her pocket, and
to her disnriv discovered that her pocketbook, containing
two r.O/., five 10/., and five 51. Bank cf England notes, had
been abstracted; and. notwithstanding an instant pursuit the
fellow got clear off. The loss had a very shocking effect on
Mrs. Lee, who became insensible, and bad to be taken into a
surgeon's for medical assi.itance.
