A DESPERADO.—CharIes Bastuble, frequently convicted
of assaults on the police, was charged with wilfully da-
maging a coat and assaulting the police.
James Brook, formerly a police constable who was
severely injured while in the force, said he was going
through Spring-gardens, Pimlico, when the prisoner ac-
costed him and tore his coat, slating that he would smash
him for the last time (when be had two months for as-
saulting 1;roJk). He followed and gave him in charge.
Sergeant George Lewis, 1 B, said ho was called by
Brook, and went to apprehend the prisoner, who got
through a window. He followed and took him into cus-
tody, and then prisoner said if he, Brook, went away he
would go with the sergeant. Directly Brook went away
prisoner turned on witness, and they had a scuffle and fell ;
prisoner bit him on the thumb, the crowd threw brickbats,
and witness was sore all over, and could hardly move from
blows and kicks; he stuck to prisoner, and when another
constable, Card, 116 B, came (who was also assaulted), they
got the prisoner to the station. _ _

Card, 116 B, corroborated ; he had to use his staff re-
peatedly on prisoner's legs and arms to keep him quiet.

Remanded for a week, the case to bo sent to the sessions
—bail in £4.0 being required.

HIGHWAY , ROBBERY.—Michael Ryan, a youth, was
brought before Mr. Paget this morning charged with be-
ing.concerned with the notorious Richard Keating and
another with stealing a silver watch from Charles
Witherick, a boot and shoemaker, of 284, Bethnal-green-
road.

The prosecutor was attacked by Keating, the prisoner,
and another on the 21st of May Let in Dock-street,
Whitechapel, who robbed him of his watch and chain.
Keating has since been convicted and sentenced to ten
years' penal servitude. A second man was also con-
cerned and sentenced to a long term of imprisonment.
Mr. Wetherick said the prisoner Ryan joined in the
attack upon him, and was confirmed by John Lynn, a cAb-
driver.

Foster, 207 11, said the prisoner was convicted at the
Middlesex Sessions on the 4th of March, 1867, and sen-
tenced to nine months' imprisonment and hard labour.
Mr. Paget said he would commit the prisoner for trial,
and ho would probably meet the well merited fate of his
companions.

THE ROYAL YIANHOPE PIIAETON.

,). _.---

In no particular branch of trade has improve-
ment more conspicuously shown itself than in car-
riage building. Vehicles now, instead of being
massive and lumbering, to please the taste of
those for whose convenience they arc constructed,
must be light, dur..b:e, and elegant, and
nothing has yet proc,:ede 1 from any of the
manufactot ies of the tut st eminent coachmakers that
can be compared to the elegant Royal Stanhope
Phaeton 'which is just now attrcc iug the aristocracy
to the es ablishment of Mr. Hart, of Nu. 79,
New. Bond-Area. The S:auhope plia..ltun is
constructed altogether on a Lew principle
all the old and inconvenient points have
been removed, and in their place improve-
ments and re-arrangements have been made which
render the new " T-cart" of the Royal Stanhope
Phaeton one of the most dashing, light, and roomy
vehicles that has ever entered 1-lyde-pArk, a spot cele-
brated for the eleganceof equipages seen therein dur-
ing the London season. The improvements that will
at once attract attention are the wheels, which in
place of being made of the usual style and pattern
are constructed of hickory, with steel-coated iron
tires, which is, in fact, lightness and strength com-
bined. 'I he ironwork is so cleverly constructed as to
possess strength just at the place at which
it is required instead of the large and un-
sightly arrangement which now so generally
exists. The springs are of finely tempered steel,
but one inch wide, and mounted on patent ste,;l-
- iron axles. The objectionable " perch" has
been removed, and thereby a most valuable im-
provement has been obtained, as the carriage, in-
stead of " locking" only half-way, now locks
entirely round, an advantage that will be
highly appreciated and approved of, as the facilities
for turning is one of the most important matters in
carriage building. Whilst Mr. Hart's new phaeton
is so peculiarly elegant and easy, it is ad-
mirably adapted for billy country use, whilst
for common and ordinary purpoecs it seems
to be the best constructed carriage yet offered
for public approval. With respect to weight, an
important consideration, which has killed many a
valuable horse, the Stanhope phaeton is three cwt.
lighter than the ordinary phaeton, possessing at the
same time the usual number of seats, so that light-
ness has not been obtained by the sacrifice of space.
Another great advantage is that the new Royal
Registered Stanhope, in weight comes within
Mr. Lowe's new Act, of 4 cwt. having said
so much for the new vehicle, we have
scarcely room to mention the other elegant
equipages that are to be seen at Mr. Hart's esta-
blishment, but we cannot omit to direct the visi-
tor's attention to the miniature winter landau,
which is a most luxurious carriage, the light and
pretty miniature brougham, the dashing barouche
and waggonette, which is easily convertible into a
Royal Stanhope Pheaton. To those curious in car-
riages, a visit to Mr. Hart's establishment, in New
Bond-street, will be a source of great interest.
