CRIMINAL COURT.--(THIS DAY•)

OLD (A)URt.

(Before tie COBIDIoN :3ERGEANT.)
George Fenwick, aged 21, described as a porter, and
James Kelly, aged 21, described as a labourer, were 113:.
arced fur feloniously breaking and entering the dWT.
ling-house of Robert Saxton Smith, and stealing there'
six spoons, and other arucles, value 51.
the prisoners t ffece d an entrance into the prosecti.
toe* house through a fanlight over the Street door, Os
on the following morning it was discovered that gees
number of articles were missing, which were afterwaree
traced to the possession of the prisoners.
The jury convicted the prisoners, and the Court sigl'
tenced them to seven years' transportation.
(Before Mr. Justice ERLE.)
Charles Best, aged 32, a clerk, and John
labourer, aged 20, were indicted for stealing from
'2" tni'L
person of 11, intern Day a watch and chain, value
They pleaded not guilty.
Mr. Platt appeared for the prosecution, and lir'
Ribton and Mr. Charuock defended the prisoners. lt appeared, from the evidence, that the prosecutor
was a trunk-maker, carrying on business in the street.
On Sunday night, the 97th of July, he was returDill
home from the West-end , and when he got to the cool_
of Mercer-street, in Long-acre, he saw the prisopor
Kelly walking before him, and the prisoner Best coratug
across the street. A few minutes afterwards Best lint his
behind him, and placed one hand on the back of P.
head and the other arm round his neck, while the 11,r14
Boner Kelly, who was walking just in front of 13104
struck him in the stomach. He was rendered ingee;
sible, and remained so for some time, and when he 0111.
to again he found himself lying on the pavement, with
his watch and chain gone. Meanwhile, a man iru
witnessed the robbery from his bed-room window 10;
ried to the spot, and accompanied the prosecatfo
to the police station, where information of t
outrage was given to the inspector on dozy]
and the stolen property was ultimately trace
to a pawnbroker's, where it had been pledged b,ici
a person resembling one of the prisoners. There could
be no mistake about the identity of the prisoners,
they were recognised by a third witness, who stood S'
the corner of White Lion-street, some hundred yard•
from the spot where the attack was made, and atter'
wards passed them as they decamped. This wittle°
assisted the prosecutor in explaining the assault to the
police, and subsequently accompanied one of the office,"
who went in search of the prisoners, and eventualll
Kelly was overtaken by a sergeant of the F
and Best, by a policeman F 57.
For the defence it was contended, that the witzeeieli
who had corroborated the testimony were unworthy' f
belief, and therefore, in disposing of the case, the jarl
ought to throw their evidence overboard altogether, eee—;
cept in so far as it related to the committal of the °u,"„7t.
by some one. Of that there could hardly be any tielpg
but the witnesses were entirely mistaken in suPP°3,,k.
that the prisoners were the parties who made the al"1-11
(The jury had not returned a verdict when our reß°
left.)

with feloniously cutting and wounding James Abraltu!'

up, and went a little further on, and pointing to anartb%
spot, said to witness, " What would you do if I 1/1/
down here?" to which he replied, " I shall certain

and said he woula not r( wove for him. Witness l

Witness immediately became senseless, and recollect
nothing afterwaros. (Th to

LAMBETH.--(THIS DAY.) ur,
George Storey, Wm. Gregory, and John Soaper,
ie
privates of the Grenadier Guards, were brought LIP ;a
morning before Mr. Norton, charged with having, ,pre she
a disturbance at Camberwell Fair, and assault,ed '-
police in the execution of their duty.
It appeared that the prisoners, who were at Ca elb,ehr;
well Fair last night, were enjoying themselves oil
" merry-go-round," and, 'determined to display IP %
proficiency as cavalry officers for the nonce, had mount
the wooden horses. During their ride their legs--11.°01351
of the shortest—had brushed somewhat roughly 68112,4
certain of the crowd assembled round to watob tb
performances, and one civilian, braver than the re"
„1
seized Storey by the leg, and attempted to disrao%
him. Accepting this as a cases belli, th© military
descended and presented the aggressor with such a 10i,
of black eyes that when the unfortunate gentlemoo sto
tended this morning he could scarcely grope his le
the witness-box. This produced an altercation, ItA
Storey was given in charge, but his comrades attestor
to rescue, and made a terrific onslaught on the 'Pled•
in which both sides were somewhat roughly kie.nu
One policeman' had his coat literally torn from lass bee,
and several others displayed broken heads and cie,t fee;t,
this morning. On beteg conveyed to the static:qv-brio,
the conduct of the prisoners was scarcely less /0190 f
and they there broke several lanterns and a 110'6
crcckery ware.

or twenty oafs' imprisonment for the first ass atilt, r
twenty-one days' Imprisonment for the second. S°llPi'e
and Gregory were sever ,ity sentenced to twenty"),
days, and a fine of 20>,. or fourteen days.
