CRIMINAL COUitT —(THIS DAY.)
OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice CRESSWELL.)
The second edition of the calendar contains the names
of 166 prisoners, being 22 more than were published in
the first edition. Fifteen of this addition are from Mid-
dlesex, three from Kent, two from London, one from
Essex, and one from Surrey.
MANSLATIGIITER.—A middle-aged man, named Wil-
liam Scaddel, was indicted for the manslaughter of John
Thomas Taylor.
Mr. kluddlestone prosecuted, and Mr. Parry defended
the prisoner.
It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner and
the deceased were in Type-street, St. Luke's, on the
18th instant, when some dispute arose between them as
to the value of the deceased's services. The deceased,
who was a labourer, said he was worth three shillings a
day, but the prisoner refused to agree to the proposition,
and thereupon the deceased made use of some words
which induced the prisoner to strike him. The blow
bit the deceased under the right ear and knocked him
down. In the fall his head came in contact with a shop
window, and he lay upon the ground perfectly motion-
less. Some of the bystanders lifted him up and carried
him to a surgeon's in the neighbourhood, where he was
found to be quite dead. The prisoner offered no assist-
ance after he struck the fatal blow, but remarking that
the deceased deserved all he hed got, he coolly walked
away. Tho deceased, who never spoke or moved after
he fell, had (Neal shillings iu his possession ; and the
medical man who afterwards made a post *torrent exa-
mination of the body, attributed the death to the effusion
of blood on the brain, which might have been caused by
a blow under either ear.

Mr. PARRY addressed the jury for the defence, and
stated that no one more regretted the accident than the
prisoner, but the injury f 4 tutained by the deceased's brain
was not produced by the blow of the prisoner, which
was struck with no considerable violence, but the de-
ceased being very drunk at the time, slipped upon the
kerbstone, and fell back upo❑ his head.
Witnesses were called in support of the defence, who
represented that the blow was a mere box on the ear,
and declared that the deceased was the worse for drink
at the moment of the accident, which occurred about five
minutes past one o'clock in the afternoon.

The Learned JUDGE summed up, and the jury re-
tuned a verdict of Guilty, and ho was sentenced to
fourteen days' imprisonment,

HARLBRO'-STREEr-(THIS DAY.)
AN ANTI- BLOOMER RlOT.—John Crane Stubbs and
Robert Cowling, who were described on the charge sheet
as schoolmasters, were placed at the bar charged with
assaulting and obstructing the police in the execution
of their duty at the Bloomer ball, Hanover square
Bowles, 14 C, stated that about ten o'clock last night
he was on duty at the Bloomer ball, in Hanover-square,
when he received instructions to clear the pavement, i❑
order to allow room for the company to enter the rooms.
In consequence of the density of the crowd witness had
great difficulty in carrying out his instructions without
laying his hands on some of the people, and amongst
others he put his bands on Cowling, who immediately
held his walking-stick over his head, and threatened if
witness put his hands on him again he would
strike him with it. Witness explained to defendant
the consequence of committing such an act, and re-
quested him to go quietly away. The defendant refused
to move, and witness gently put his hand on him to push
him back, when the defendant (Cowling) struck him a
blow on the chest with his fist. No sooner had Cowling
done so than the defendant Stubbs struck him on the
chest also. Witness directly collared Stubbs, and they
both fell to the ground, and while he was lying there he
(witness) received a blow on the nose, but was not posi-
tive who gave him the blow. He struggled with Stubbs
and eventually took him into custody. The defendant
Cowling was subsequently taken in charge at the door
of the station-house.

--
Police- constable 15 C corroborated the above evidence.
A solicitor who attended for the defendants addressed
the raagistrate at some length on behalf of his client,
contending that from the position in society which the
defendants held, it was impossible for them to have con-
ducted themselves in the manner described by the con-
stables. The officer falling down no doubt was the re-
sult of accident, and not the act of Mr. Stubbs.
Mr. BINGHAM said, as there were other persons in
custody for a similar offence, he should not give his de-
cision until he had heard those charges.
Daniel King and Middleton Ashdown, were then
charged with assaulting the police at the same place.
The evidence of the constables went to show that they
were dispersing a mob of nearly 3,000 people, who had
congregated in Hanover square to view the Bloomers
proceeding to the ball. The defendants were very riotous,
and struck the constables several times and excited the
mob to rescue them. In the melee one of the constables
had his eye nearly cut out by a stone which was thrown
by one of the mob. The prisoners were ultimately
lodged in the station.
Oswald Forster was next charged with the like offence.
Boyce, 181 C, stated that some ladies got out of a cab
at the Ilanover-aquare Rooms, dressed in the Bloomer
costume, and while he was clearing the way for them
the prisoner struck him a violent blow on the head with
a stick. Witness then took him in charge.
The defendant said, in answer to the charge, that he
was curious to see the Bloomers, and was quietly looking
on, when he received a blow on the head which knocked
his hat off. This blow he believed he received from the
police-constable, and he denied striking him in return.ri
Police-constable 86 C said he saw the prisoner strike
Boyce, 181 C. The prisoner also struck hm

DEATH OF ONE OF NELSON'S LIEUTENANTS.—
Vice-Admiral James Noble, who died on the 24th inst. was
the " Noble" spoken of by Nelson when in his dispatches he
refers to " those fine fellows, Hardy, Gage, and Noble." De-
ceased was ou the " reserved half-pay list."
There was formerly in the French navy a grade
between that of captain and that of rear-admiral, called chief
de division. Henceforth, by decree of the President of the
Republic, the captain who may command a naval force is to
take that title during the time of his command, and is to
receive special honours and advantages. The object of this
measure is to place captains who command stations on the
same footing as English commodores, and other foreign offi-
cer* of the Dame rank.
