to he brought before him, on ae'ount v; of as he had
given himself. Both Reynolds and Strait 'were
still in St. George's Hospital. The wound which Rey-
nolds gave himself, by firing another loaded pistol at litt
head after he had fired at Parry, appears to have taken a
slanting direction ; his left eye is shot out, and lie has re-
ceived several severe bruises about the head from jumping
out of (I,e of the up stairs windows when be found that
he bad i,t neither instance completed the dreadful deed;
his head, in 110, is completely covered with wounds, hut
none of them are considered mortal by the medical men
who attend upon him. Yesterday he was rather worse,
and unable to speak ; the unhappy female appeared to be
much more composed, and conversed very rationally.
The Inspector had been to St. George's Hospital that
morning, and the surgeon in attendance bad given him a
certificate of the state of both parties.
The certificate was handed to the Bench, from which
it appeared that neither of them were in any immediate
danger, hut it would be some days before they could be
removed with safety from the hospital.
Directions were then given to brine the parties up,
when the surgeon of the hospital thought that they could
be removed.

;14IPUDENT ROBBERY.—Yesterday George Richards,
alias George Hutchinson, a middle-aged man of respect-
able appearance, was brought before Mr. LAING, in ti e
custody\of. Joseph Parrot, 78 E, charged by Mr. Simon
Giles, of the firm of Giles and Goilby, clothes salesmen,
of 37, Brook-street, Holborn, with having stolen a
new suit of wearing apparel, under the following circum-

stances :
The prosecutor stated that the prisoner was frequently
in the habit of calling at his shop and purchasing articles
of wearing apparel, for which he paid ready money; and
he was not suspected of dishonesty, until witness missed
several articles from the various show rooms, to which
he was admitted, after hi‘ luitted the place. The first
purchase he made was a wide great coat, and in a few
days subsequently he brought some articles to the shop,
marked with the name of the arm, to dispose of, which
excited some suspicion. Yesterday afternoon, about two
o'clock, he again entered the shop, when the servants
were busy with other customers, and said he wanted to
suit himself with some clothes," and he was told to
walk to the " show room" up stairs. He proceeded thee,
and witness went into an adjoining room, where he cool'
privately watch his manoeuvres, and he saw him take off
his great coat, and put on a new body coat, and instantly
slip on his great coat over it. Witness, being aware
that a " -Yeot!orim" would rot so e:isily "suit" himself
without a more minute inspection of the garment, felt
satisfied that he was the thief who had so often plundered
him, and he suffered him to leave the premises without
interruption ; and when he had gone a few yards from
the house lie gave him into the custody of the policeman,
who brought him back and searched him, on which he
found a new blue coat under the great one, a fashionably
made waistcoat in his hat, and a pair of trousers in the
greatcoat pocket, the whole of which bore the private
mark of the firm, and were identified by witness as his

property.
Mr. LAING (to the Pri.oner)—What are you ? Pri-
soner, who appeared to affect to be deaf and dumb, made
no answer, but st,red vacantly at Mr. Laing, and otl er

persons in the office.
Mr LAING (louder)—What are you, I say?—No answer.
Mr. LAING said that he was certain the fellow bad been
before at the office on some charge ; and on repeating his
interrogatory with increased vehemence, and receiving only
the stupid gaze of the prisoner, said he was no doubt deaf
and dumb to suit his convenience; and, taking him off his
guard, Mr. 'Avec avair. said. " What are you ?" adding
emphatically, " Are you a thief?" Prisoner—No, no ; I
am a prisoner.
Mr. LAlNG—Where do you live? Prisoner—l decline
au-wering that question.
Mr. I-attic—Where do you live? Prisoner—Why, here.
Mr. LAING—How often have you been charged here?
—No answer.
Mr. LAING--HOW often have you been in the House of
Correction ?—No answer.
Mr. LAING—How often have you been convicted ?
Prisoner—l don't understand you.
Mr. LAING—NO ; you are very dull. He ordered
Lloyd, the officer, to bawl in his ear.
L'ecd, in a tone sufficient to " split the ears of the
groundhogs." did so, and asked how often he bad been
convicted, and sent to prison? Prisoner—Why never, to
to be sure.
Waddington said he had seen the prisoner before at that
office or the House of Correction.
Mr. LAING said he bad no doubt but he bad been there
before, and that was his reason for refusing to answer his
questions. Prisoner—You labour under a mistake there ;
the respectability of my (hesitatingly) friends and charac-
ter was my only reason.
He was folly committed to Neweate for trial, and Mr.
LAING ordered the officer to take him to the House of
Correction and New Prison, to ascertain from the Gover-
nor the respectability of his character, and what offences,
it
any, he had been convicted of.
UNION :L LL.
Yesterday two men, named Marren and Yates, were
brought before Mr. MURRAY, charged on suspicion of
drowning a young woman (name unknown), whose body
was taken out of the water at Bankside.
A police sergeant of the M division on proceeding over
Blackfriars Bridge on Sunday morning, about four o'clock,
saw some pet sons looking through the balustrades, and
heard Vent exclaim, " That a woman was in the water."
He looked in the direction of Southwark Bridge, and,
perceiving a splashing in the water at some distance off,
lie ran round to Bankside, and by the time he arrived
saw the body of a young female just brought on shore by
a waterman. He also observed t.vo men standing upou a
barge moored at some distance out in the river, and he
had been informed that those men were with the female
at the time she was drowned. Acting upon this infor-
mation lie procured a wherry, and irnmedi itely went on
board the barge, and took them both into custody.
The accused were examined separately, and Yates made
the following statement voltintarily :—He said that he and
the other prisoner were brassfoundere, [1,314 worked at a
large factory in Sr. Martin's-lane. On Saturday night,
after work, :hey went to the Cart and Horses, in Upper
St. Martin's lane, which they left at half-past eleven
o'clock, and then went home together, but did not retire
to rest. At ball-past three o'clock in the morning they
left home together with the determination of taking an
excursion on the water. On their way to West-
minster Bridge they met a young female near the
Horse Guards, and they spoke to her, and told her that
they were going to have a pull down the river. She ex-
pressed a desire to accompany them ; they endeavoured
to dissuade her; but when they hired the boat, which was
at Mr. Lyons's, near the bridge, she said she was deter-
mined to go with them, and accordingly jumped into the
boat along with them. They then proceeded down the
river, the tide running that way, and in the course of
their progress run again'st a chain or warp to which a
barge was made fast. litis was about midway between
the two brides, and in the attempt to extricate it the
wherry heeled over and the female rolled into the river.
One of them (Yates) got bold of the barge and saved him-
self, and rescued Monett, who was on the point of being
drowned, and would inevitably have shared the fate of the
female bad not Yates grasped him by the collar and pulled
him on board the barge. In reply to the Magistrate the
accused said that he never saw the deceased before ; that
she appeared to be 18 years of age, and that they were
unacquainted with who or what she was. She was
dressed in a dirk half-mourning dress, and wore u straw
bonnet with ribarels. The other prisoner gave a similar
aeceunt of ti teattea.aieu, aru wait: :o I.;e
detained in custody, ns there were some mysterious cir-
cumstances attending the case.

STATE OF TRADE.—Our merchants still

as the advance of wools obliges the to to la quire an

die amount of sales is necessarily mere limited than under
