Mr. D'Eyneourt (to the prisoner)—What are you ?

Prisoner—l am an engineer by trade, sir. Fancily dis-
sension occasioned me to leave my relatives, who are
very respectable inhabitants of Liverpool, and seek work
in London, but, failing, I resolved to return. Being
without the means of'' so doing, I certainly committed
myself as stated, but would have sent the value of the
property bask on reaching there.

- Mr. b'Eyncourt—You—r conduct, allowing this state-
ment to be true, is most ungrateful and scandalous. On
your own representations, the prosecutrix a2commo-
dates you, and is rewarded by this attempted theft. I
shall order you to be imprisoned for•two months in the
House of Correction.

A young Irishwoman named Mary Sullivan was
brought up upon an adjourned dugs of having Tioleivtly

The prosecutor, who has been under medical treat-
ment, attended for the first time. He was carried into
court will one leg hanging uselessly from his body.
From the nature of the in jury sustained he will never
be able to walk again without crutches. He has been
in the police force 10 years, and has a wife and nine
young children. He was one of the most steady, civil,
and best c mducted constables in the metropolitan police.
On the morning of the 25th of Fekurary he was on duty
in Back Church-lane, St. George-in-the-East, when his
attention vas c gilled to the prisoner, who was making a
disturbance at the corner of Cable-street, and appeared
to be partially intoxicated. Chapman told the prisoner
be bad better go home, on which the prisoner asked the
constable to see him home to his lodgings, and said he
lived in tie neighbourhood. Chapman said he had other
business to attend to. The prisoner then retreated 12
or 14 yards, 'pulled off his coat and hat, and came to-
wards Chapman in a menacing attitude. The constable
begged of him to take up hie hat and coat and go borne,
and also remarked that he was a very stupid man to
pull his clothes off on a cold morning. Chapman
then walked on, and 'he prisoner came behind, grasped
him with both arms round his waist, and after raising
him threw him heavily on the ground, at the same time
kicking him on the leg as he fell. Chapman heard his
leg snap like the crack of a whip when he fell, and called
out to another constable who was standing by, " That
man has broken my leg." Hogan was immediately taken
into custody by George Savage, a police constable.
The prisoner put in the following written defence :
" May it please your worship to allow me to address you
as follows. I enlisted into her Majesty's 66th Regiment of
Foot, in which I served 181 years. I have been with
my regiment in Great Britain and Ireland, Gibraltar
West Indies, and British North America, during which
time I behaved myself in a soldierlike manner. Having
the misfortune in an evil hour to desert my regiment at
Quebec, in British North America, in August, 1853, I
wee; apprehended for doing so, and received the severe
punishment of ten years transportation, and having
completed two years and seven months of the same, her
Majesty was graciously pleased to grant my pardon from
the convict establishment at Portland, on account of my
long service in the British army and exemplary conduct.
while a prisoner, having received the usual amount of
gratui:y money which is given to good and industrious
prisoners on their departure from prison, which is 41. 75.,
given to me by Captain Cisy, governor of the said prison,
along with a travelling bag containing some clothes. :1:
proceeded to London by train, to make the hest of my
way to Ireland, of which place I am a native, when I
was met be some ktrangers. I did not know who they were,
an I they mid they would direct me to St. Ketharine's
Docks, for which place I inquired. On our arrival I se-
' cured lodgings for .the night, and gave my clothes in
charge to the landlord of the house. I went outside to
pay for some beer for the strangers, to remunerate them
far their trouble, as I thought they deserved. They con-
veyed me to a house sonic distance from my lodging,
where there was come music present. We stopped there
a consideeable time. When I retired to go to my lodg-
ing these Feople followed me. I was quite senseless of
what I was doing. I don't recollect any mere until I
found myself in the bands of the police the next morning,
and as I are in a strange country, without any means to
help me oat of it, and with nothing to make my way
home to Ireland, I have to bog pardon and throw myself
on your merciful consideration. I have a wife and chil-
dren in my native place, anxiously expecting me home.
I most humbly beg your mercy and forgiveness.—Your
mo t humble prisoner, " Miceetar, HoGAN."
Mr. Yardley said he had no alternative but to commit
the prisoner for trial, and every attention would be paid
to any defence he might have to offer at the sessions.
A subscription has been opened fur the relief of the
wife and nine children of the irjured policeman, who will
have to leave the force immediately. He was about to
be promoted for good conduct when he was disabled by
Hogan.
