second time he took her home with no better success
than before, for in May last she was again placed at the
bar of the Old Bailey, and only then received another
sentence of six months, which expired yesterday, but
owing to a circumstance which had transpired she was
again placed under arrest. She bad from time to time
corresponded with her husband's family, and his ki,ter

MANSION-lIOUSE.—LIIen Reynolds and Sarah.
Ilazeltine, very respectably-attired women, were brougl t
before Mr. A blerman Salomons for further examination
upon the charge of having picked the pocket of Mrs.
Clifford, a la'ly res ding at Hoxton, of her portmanteau,
containing 17s. 6d. in silver, on the sth inst.
It will be recollected that at the last examination the
prosecntrix said that on the day in question she entered
one cf the Wellington omnibuses, and was immediately
followed by the two prisoners, Hazeltine sitting next to,
and Reynolds opposite her. During the journey one of
the horses fill, and while the prosecutrix was
looking through the window and witnessing the
attempts to get it up the conductor observed that Hazel-
tine was pressing very closely against her. On the arri-
val of the omnibus at Cornhill, the prisoners alighted,
and the suspicions of the conductor having been arrested
by the hasty manner in which they made off, coupled
with what he had seen going on inside, he asked the
prosecutrix whether her purse was safe, and upon her
telling him that it had been stolen be ran after the pri-
soners and caught them just as they were entering
Leadenhall-market, and gave them into custody. They
then strongly protested their innocence of the charge of
robbery, and declared solemnly they had never seen
each other before they accidentally met in the omnibus.
They offered a most violent resistance to the officer who
took them into custody, and refused to go to the station-
house unless permitted to ride in a cab. A cab was con-
s iquently haiie,, and diroctly t e prisoners entered it the I
purse of the prosecutrix was tuand upon the ground, by I
the side of the vehicle. It also transpired in the course
of the examination, in answer to a question put by tlee
magistrate, that, although the prisoners denied all know-
ledge of each other, yet one of them paid the fare of
both.
Mr. Lewis now appeared on behalf of Hazeltine. Rey-
nolds was not defended.
The deposition taken at the last examination having
been read over, the witnesses were cross-examined by
Mr. Lewis, who did not succeed in at all shaking their
testimony.
Mr. Rawson,' the beadle of Lime street Ward, said
—On the sth inst., as I was going into the entrance to
Leadenhall-market, I saw the policeman, Tanner, holding
Reynolds round the waist. The conductor ran about
20 yards and seized Hazeltine by the are, and brought
her back to Tanner, who asked Ina to take care of her,
he himself, holding Reynolds. Hazeltine said to me,
" I'll go with you," and she took my arm. We then
passed through the market to Cullum.street. I a ked
two persons whom I kne 71 to keep a look-out, and see
that the prisoners did not throw anything away as we
were taking them to the station-house. In Cullum-
street Hazeltine let go my arm and said, " I'll not go
any further." She then took hold of the handle of a
door of a coffee-house and attempted to get inside, but I
prevented her. She called out to Reynolds, " Ellen,
don't go any forther." She then began to scream and
kick and fight, and attempted to bite me. I took her
up in my arms and carried her into Fenchurch-street,
when she declared she would go no further unless she
had a cab. I accordingly hailed a cab that was passing.
She then threw herself upon the ground and commenced
screaming very violently, and it was some time before
she could be got up. Directly after the prisoners were
placed in the cab the purse was found on the ground by
its side.
lay Mr. Lewie—A great crowd had collected when
Hazeltine refused to go any further except in a cab. She
did not say, "I will take your arm and go quietly ; I
will not go through such a crowd as this."
Reynolds—" This good lady (Hazeltine) did not know
my name, although she called me ' Ellen.' "
Mr. Alderman Salomons (to the witness)—This is a
very important inquiry. You know the serious position
in which the prisoners are placed. Are you sure that
Hazeltine said, " Ellen, don't go any further !"
Witness—l think " Ellen" was the name she called
her. She called her by her Christian name. It was
" Ellen," to the best of my belief ; but I will not swear
positively to the name.
J. W. Tanner, constable, No. 653—The conductor
gave the prisoners into my custody, and I asked Mr.
Rawson to assist mein taking them to the station-house.
As soon as I had taken Reynolds into custody she
turned round and called Hazeltine a d— --
Reynolds.—Oh, you false swearing man. I'm not in
the habit of using coarse language. (Laughter.)
When the cab was called Hazeltine disengaged her
right hand from my grasp. When the prisoners were
got into the cab the parse was found on the ground just
under the door of it. Hazeltine was searched at the
station-house, and in her reticule were found a half-sove-
reign, and ls. 6d. in silver, and a silver watch. Both
prisoners refused to give their address.
Mr. Lewis addressed the magistrate, and said that
Hazeltine's story was that if Reynolds picked up the
purse it was without her knowledge. The prisoners, he
submitted, were not shown to have known each other
before the day in question, and they bad refused their
address because they did not wish their friends to know
the unfortunate situation in which they were placed.
Mr. Alderman Salomons.— I consider this a very im-
portant inquiry. Toe main facts of the case cannot be
1 shaken—namely, that the two prisoners were engaged
apparently in a common object, and whether they were
really so engaged, andought to be treated alike, must be
determined by a jury. I, therefore, in the ordinary
course, must ask them whether they wish to say any-
thing in answer to the charge. I shall treat this as a
very serious offence, because, looking at the prisoner
whom you (Mr. Lewis) defend, her air is quite that of a
lady, and calculated to impose upon persons travelling
by omnibuses. It is our bounden duty to protect as far
as we can the highly respectable class of persons who
travel by this useful mode of conveyance. Robberies in
omnibu es have lately increased to a most alarming ex-
tent, and the serious duty devolves upon a magistrate
not to treat these cases summarily, bat to send them for
adjudication before a superior tribunal.
The prisoners, who, after the usual caution, said they
should roserve their defence, were fully committed for
trial.

in his hands :
"My unfortunate career, and greatly to be feared still,
is not yet at an end, for should I be left to wander the
streets by him who has sworn at the altar to protect me,
the wife of his bosom, and mother of his only child, I say
our career is not at an end, for one or both of us shall die. I
was never more serious in my life than at the present mo-
ment, and I hope they will hang me and not transport me."
As her period of imprisonment expired yesterday morn-
ing, Mr. Cbatten applied to Mr. Paynter, and subse-
quently to Mr. Arnold, to have his wife again appre-
hended, and a warrant having been granted by the latter,
she was taken into custody on leaving Totbill-fields
Bridewell yesterday morning, and brought to this court.
Mr. Chatten produced the letter, which he identified
as being in his wife's handwriting. In consequence of
what had previously transpired, he swore that he feared
she would do him some thither injury.
Defendant entreated that she might not be sent to
prison again, and observed that although the avowal
was to her shame, she had committed the acts of violence
with which she had been previously charged while under
the influence of liquor. Her husband knew that when
sober she was both a good wife and mother, and she
thought be was treating her very hardly.
Mr. Chaeten intimated that he had done everything
for her that kindness could suggest. On the last occa
sion, after her conviction, he got a memorial to Sir G.
Grey signed by all his neighbours, with a view of re-
ducing the period of imprisonment, and he had previ-
ously gene to the expense of employing counsel to get
her off.
Defendant repeated that what she had done had been
under the excitement of liquor.
Mr. Arnold remarked that she could not avail herself
of that excuse with respect to the letter now produced,
which had been written after some months' confinement
in prison, where she could hot have obtained liquor. She
bad added to the words " one or both of ne sball die,"
"I was never more serious in my life ;" which die not
look at alt like violence of temper only proceeding from
drunkenness.
Defendant declared she was not aware of the harm
she was doing, She had not the least intention at the
present moment of injuring her husband, and it was very
hard to be again sent to prison. Her health was
suffering materially from her confinement.
Mr. Arnold said he felt, after the repeated acts of ex-
treme violence she had committed, and the little control
she could exercise over her temper, it was necei-sary for
her own safety, :is well as for her husband's, to cad upon
her to find sureties to keep the peace, as it might other-
wise end in a more serious matter. He then ordered her
to find bail in 40/. for her good behaviour for the next
six months. In the course of the afternoon bail was put
in, and an arrangement entered int) for the separation
of the parties.

As they were leaving the dock,
Mrs. E. Aehmae, of No. 132, Union-street, Borough,
_epped into the witness-box, and said she had a charge
ez) prefer against Hazeltine. She was then sworn, and
said—About two ue nths ago I got into a Wellington
omnibus in the Borough with the intention of going to
the Bank. Hazeltine upon that occasion sat opposite me
and a companion of hers, who eat by my side robbed me
of my purse, containing 10 eovereigns and 7s. My pocket
was cut through and my purse was abstracted while I
was giving my child the breast. Hazeltine and her com-
panion lets the omnibus together on its arrival at Lon-
don-bridge. I positively swear to Hazeltine as being
the person who rat opposite to me.
Mr. Ald. Salomons—Hew did you knew the prisoners
were in custody ?
Witnt se—My hust and read the account of the charge
just disposed et in the newspapers, and adfsed me to
come here. Directly I saw Hazeltine I identified her.
Mr. Ald. Salomone said he did not think Mrs. Ash-
man had made out a sufficient case to justify hit calling
upon Hazeltine to answer it, and added, the former ap-
pears to me to be one of those public cases that ought to
be prosecuted by the city, and therefore I shall direct the
City Solicitor to prosecute. The unfortunate victims in
these cases belong to the best classes of society—they are
the most industriom, and they are those who can least
afford to lose their property.
The prisoners were then removed fiorn the dock.
M`DonaLl, an Irish labourer, was charged with
steeline 71b. of leaf tobacco under the following circuit-
stances :
Mr. Cattarns appeared in support of the prosecution.
Mr. C. Fowler, a tide-waiter belonging to the Cue
tams, said—The prisoner was employed as a limper on
board the Diana steamer, which has recently arrived
from Amsterdatn and is lying in Brewer's-quay. In
consequence of information I received I had the prisoner
Fearched, and, between his skin and his clothes, from
the soles of his feet to his neck, I found secreted 71b. of
leaf tobacco, which I produce, and which corresponds
with that I was engaged in removing.
Mr. Alderman Salomons—What induced you, pri-
mmer, to secrete this tobacco ?
Prisoner—l took it fur my own use, my Lord.
(Laughter.)
Mr. Alderman Salomons—Why did you put it next
your skin ?
Prisoner—To keep it warm, my Lord. It's all the
better for being kept dry. (Increased leughter.)
Mr. Alderman Salomons—Has the prisoner been
here before ?
Partridge (l he gaoler)—No, Sir.
Mr. Alderman Salomons sentenced the prisoner to six
weeks' imprisonment with hard labour.
Prisoner—Will your Lordship be so obliging as to order
my ernpl iyers to pay me my wages for my day's work
yesterday ?
Mr. Alderman Salomone—No ; you have forfeited
your wages, and you may think yourself lucky in not
being sent for trial at the Old Bailey.
Mr. Alderman Salomons requested that the press
would acknowledge the receipt of 2/. for the poor.box

THE GREAT BOAT RACE BETWEEN KELLY
AND BUTT L.

The great matches on the Lapis between Thos. Kelly,
of Fulham, and Richard Battle, of Norwich, are the
theme of conversation amongst rowing men, and matters
of considerable interest to those who speculate upon such
event,. It is seldom that what are termed "home and
home" matches are made in rowing, but this is an excep-
tion to the rule, it being only considered fair, in regard
to the rival pretensions of the men, to give each
portunity of contending upon his own water, and as
Kelly is a son of the Thames, and Bottle a native and
resident of Norwich, it was suggested and determined
upon by the rival backers that one race should be rowed
from Putney to Mortlake, and the other from Swilling-
ham to Thorpe, the distance in both nearly corres-
ponding, considering the advantage of tide in the
first-name I. Th Thames match is to be rowed
to-morrow afternoon, the start taking place at half-past
two o'clock. Upon the issue of this will mainly depend
the betting on the second race, nearly a fortnight after-
wards, for although some men seem to attach so much
advantage to a competitor's own water, so much supe-
riority may
opening race as to ender that a matter of very secon-
be developed by one or the other in the
dory consideration. setting on to-morrow'e event is
nearly even. Kelly for choice. Both are in very fine
condition, Kelly training at Salter's, at Wandsworth,
and Bottle at Wilson's, at Barnes. They are fine young
men, and have previously earned many laurels, so that a
great race may be anticipated.

BOW STREET.—A young man, named Joseph, Hob.
son, lately in the employ of Mr. Robert Kerr, solicitor,
Chancery-lane, was brcught up on remand on several
charges of embezzlement.
The prisoner, who had been in the habit of receiving

few days back, and subsequently a letter was received
from him, acknowledging that he had appropriated
various sums of money, of which he enclosed a list, and
promising repayment. Mr. Kerr, however, gave infor-

prisoner to Mr. Kerr.
The prisoner offered no defence, and

many weeks, however, had elapsed, she stabbed him with
a large carving knife, and then beat him with her fist

.FIE4;.LTIE OF LONDON DURING

TVA EL

(From the Report of the Registrar-General.)
The total deaths in London, which in the previous
week were 969. rose to 1,006 in the week that eeded
last Saturday. The average number in the f.-n weeks
corresponding to last week of the year 1846.55, was
1,032 ; and if this number is to be compared with the
deaths now returned, it must be raised in proportion to
increase of popu:ation, when it will become 1.135. The
comparison shows a difference of 129 in favour of the
return of last week.
The births regatered last week exceeded the deaths
registered in the same time by 605.
Diseases of the zymotic class numbered 233 deeehe ;
the corrected average of corresponding weeks is 293. In
the numbers referred respectively to the diseases that
compose this class, scarlatina stands highest ; it was
fatal in 56 cases, typhus or common fever is 49, hooping,
sough in 37, measles in 26, croup in 15, small-pox in 6.
These numbers are all higher than those under the same
neads in the previous week. But diarrhcea has inva
riably decreased during the last twelve weeks, and though
the deaths from it rose considerably above 200 in sum-
mer they •were last week only 15. Two children died
in the' week from small-pox ie a family in Stapleton's-
buirdings, Statutord-hill ; they were both uovaccinated.
in consequence, as is mated, ef " prejw-lic- against vac-
cination," and two other children have ca.e4lit the infec-
tion. Two persons died from intemperaece ; one from
exposure to cold. A earden labourer at Fulham died at
the age of 91 years ; the widow of a governmen:-, clerk at
95 ; and the widow of an agricultural labourer died in
Obligatioe-row, Upper Tooting, of bronchitis, at the age
of 100 years. Mr. tVithall, the registrar, mentions that
•` this centenarian was born at Sevenoaks, in Kept, in
November, 1755 ; she enjoyed good health and the use
..1 her faculties till within tire last five we--km."
Last week the births of 820 boys and 791 girls, in all
1.611 children, were registered in L .ndan. to the ten

temperature of the week was 43.4 deg., whiCh is 2.0
leg. below the average of the same week in 33 years (as
