The evidence of Mrs. Elizabeth Buckstono,
went to prove that on Saturday while cleaning out the
shop, 5, Cranbourne-street, her daughter and a shop boy
being present at the time, the prisoner came in front of the
window and indecently exposed himself. She called Mr.
Bucks tone to her assistance, and on his going to the door
with the boy the prisoner immediately started off, but was
captured by Mr. Bean, a constable of the C division.
Samuel Pond, shop boy to the complainant, gave, in a
very intelligent manner, confirmatory evidence.
George Maddans, a constable of the C division, said that
in May last he had the prisoner at this court on a similar
charge, when he had three months.

Mr. Lewis said after this evidence he should decline to
call witnesses in the prisoner's favour.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said ho felt no doubt in the case, and the
prisoner had no reason to complain of his advocate for not
calling witnesses. lie looked upor.him as a pest of society
and a base offender— far worse tb an thoso who were brought
before him for pilfering. He should commit him for three
months with hard labour,

SANGUINARY ArPr.ly 13IONG GERNIANC—Casper
Henry Sherbremer, P. German sugar baker, was brought
before Mr. Selfe, charged with stabbing Jacob Lunt, or
Lynch, and Henry Bruell, two other Germans.
Bruell, whose hand and arm were bandaged, said he
went to the Black Horse public-house in Fieldgate-street,
Whitechapel, on Saturday night. There was music and
Alancing going on. He went up stairs and joined in the
revelries. The prisoner was there, and he was very tight
and quarrelsome. Witness said, " Why do you quarrel,
we are all country people here," on which the prisoner
stabbed a man on the head. That man was in the hos-
pital, and was expected to die.

Mr. Selfe—And wkat did he do to you ?
Witness—Then he stabbed me on the head and on the
arm, and I lost a good deal of blood.
Mr. Selfo—What did you say to him ?
Witness—All I said was, "What do you want to fight
for ? " and then he took out his knife and stabbed us.
The prisoner, in German, said he had witnesses to prove
that it was not him that inflicted the wounds.
Martin Schensefeil, a baker, said he was sitting at a
table alongside the musicians, while his country people
were dancing, and the prisoner took up a knife and stabbed
'the man who was in the hospital on the head.
Mr. Dutus, a Prussian, who acted as interpreter, said
that the musicians who were present at the Black Horse on
'Saturday night would attend and give evidence, if
necessary.

Mr. Selfe—l have a medical certificate that the man in
the hospital is in a dangerous condition. I shall remand
the prisoner until Tuesday, the 6th of November.

FRIGHTFUL MACHINERY ACCIDENT AT WEDNES-
BußY.—Two MEN KILLED.—An accident of a terrible
nature occurred on Wednesday morning at Portway-road
Axletree Works, Wednesbury, by which two men, named
respectively Thomas Bishop and James Grayley, lost their
lives. The circumstances connected with the sad calamity
are as follows :—Mr. Edwin Richards, proprietor of the
above-named works, had been having a new engine put
down, and the two unfortunate men, Bishop and Grayley,
' were engaged in the masonry department. About 7 o'clock
on Wednesday morning., the engine being at work, Bishop
was about to descend a shaft, at which he had been work-
ing, for the purpose of procuring a better water supply, and
Grayley was in the act of assisting him in his descent, when
the rope by means of which he was being let down caught one
of the nuts on the coupling box. The adjoining wheel was
then making about 40 revolutions per minute, and the two
poor men were carried round the machinery, their bodies
being mangled in a most frightful manner. The engineer
stopped the engine immediately, but not in time to prevent
fatal results. Bishop, whose legs wore cut right off, and
his abdomen torn horribly, lived about two hours after-
wards. Grayley, though apparently less injured, died in
an hour afterwards, having sustained a fracture of the skull,
and had one of his legs broken. It need hardly be said that
an accident of so shocking a nature spread considerable
consternation amongst those engaged in the works, and in
fact the locality generally manifested intense excitement
and alarm, the greatest interest and sympathy being ex-
pressed respecting the deceased. Bishop, who is we believe.
a single man, was about 45 years of ago, and lived at
Top. Grayley was 10 years younger, a married man with
three children. The bodies of both have been removed,.
and information has been forwarded to the coroner, who
will probably hold his inquiry this day.
