CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT-L(This Day)

OLD COURT.
(Before the Recorder.)
, Henry Messenger, James Bates, Richard Moss, and
Thomas William Wickers were charged with stealing
22 sacks of oats, value £l4, the property of Thomas Young.
There was a second count, charging them with receiving
unlawfully.
Mr. Metcalfe appeared to prosecute, Mr, Lilley appeared
for Moss and Messenger, Mr. Orridge for Bates, and Mr.
Sharp for Wickers.
It appeared that Wickers was a large owner, and that the
corn in question was found on his barges on the Thames, that
two of the other defendants were assisting in navigating
the craft at the time the stolen property was discovered,
and the third prisoner was a watchman at the wharf from
which the corn was taken away. There was a fifth party
concerned named Tripp, who did not bear a very good oha-
racter, and who hag absconded.

Against the watchman there was no evidence of guilt,
it only proving neglect of duty against him. On behalf
of Bates and Moss it was contended that they were simply
employed to assist Wickers in navigating the barge, and on
behalf of Wickers it was urged there was no evidence to
connect him with the theft, and it was suggested that Fripp
had placed the oats on board for some purpose of his own,
and that Wickers having the previous day contracted to
carry 20 bags of oats might have been reasonably misled.
The learned Judge, having carefully summed up the
evidence, the jury returned a verdict of guilty of receiving
against Wickers, and not guilty against the other prisoners.
Wickers was then sentenced to nine months' imprisonment,
and the others were discharged.
This terminated the business of the session.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

THE KNIFE—RUFFIANLY ASSAULT ON A FEMALE.—
Peter Foulkes, a German baker, living at 19, Little White
Lion-street, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with.assalit-
ing Mary Lee and cutting her across the eye with a knire:
The complainant, whose eye was strapped up, said about
two the previous afternoon she went into the Spencer Arms,
Dudley-street, with a friend who was unwell, and while
her friend was drinking some brandy, the prisoner twice
thrust a dog he had in his arms in her face, breaking the
glass. She (complainent) asked why he did it, when he
directly rushed at her, and jobbed a knife at her eye, cutting
'it severely, and causing a great loss of blood. The pri-
soner then ran away, and she went to Charing•cross Hos-
pital, and there had her eye attended to.
Jane Tranter, the person alluded to by the complainant,
confirmed her statement, and said the prisoner ran away
into a baker's shop. Before the,inspector, at the station, he
swore he would " rip her inside open."
Mr. Henry Hunt, of the Spencer Arms, Dudley-street,
said the prisoner had not been in the house more than a
minute when he flung the dog in the witness's face. The
complainant asked why he did it, and the prisoner became
infuriated, and struck the complainant in the eye, he could
not say with a knife, but it was something sharp, and
threatened to serve him (Mr. Runt) the same. There was
no provocation given, and the prisoner had had nothing
to drink in his house.

Michael Brosnar, 309 E, said he thought the prisoner
was mad at the time. He said he was a second Tom
Sayers, the champion of England. •

Mr. Tyrwhitt said there was no proof of a knife being
used, but that it was something sharp was clear. It was a
brutal assault. He would order him to pay 40s. or six
weeks' imprisonment.

MILITARY PREPARATIONS OF PIEDMONT.

The Midiary Gazette of Turin gives the follow-
ing details of the military preparations of Pied-
mont : " France has ceded at a reduced price 50,000
rifled muskets, and has consented to give a further
quantity on like conditions, as also a number of
cannon of large size, a quantity of gunpowder,
and ammunition. The foundries of Sweden, Bel-
gium, and England, and the most renowned ma-
nufactories of arms in Europe, are working for
the Government. The best foundries of Pied-
mont, among which are those of M.M. Ansaldo
and Robertson, of San Pedro-d'Arena, have enor-
mous orders. Other similar establishments, espe-
cially in Lombardy, are preparing gun carriages
and waggons; and all this is in addition to the
activity displayed in the arsenals, in which the
number of workmen is, so to speak, tripled. By this
activity the artillery in the space of a very few
months has been almost entirely supplied with ma-
terial on the new model. Three new sets of the
apparatus for making bridges have been constructed ;
the store-houses are full of ammunition; the infantry
and cavalry arc well organised. The artillery has
48 active batteries, divided into eight regiments.
Bologna has become a fortified place; Piacenza is
defended by new works; and the fortresses of
the second order have been put in a state of
' sufficient defence. At the same time, important
reforms have been made in the administra-
tion ; new military circumscriptions have been
formed, and the tribunals of the army have been
reorganiied. All this has been dine in five
months. The Ministry has besides given ener-
getic orders that all the military forges of the
State shall be prepared to execute as quickly as
possible the orders given to them, and even to
make preparations for fulfilling others. In con-
sequence the laboratory for making ball cartridges
has been enlarged, but for the present only
80,000 a-day can be made. The 'workshops of
Parma, Modena, and Florence are executing im-
portant works, principally in making gun car-
riages for fortresses, which must be completed by
November at the latest. The firm of Montu and
Co. has undertaken to supply 10,000,000 percus-
sion caps. MM. Grondona, Miani, and Zambelli,
of Milan, have already delivered 100 large gun
carriages, and 100 others are to be supplied in three
months. The'workshops of the railways are also
actively employed for the Government. Orders
have been given to send immediately to Turin all
muskets on the old model in the arsenals, in order
that they may be rifled as quickly as possible.
Plans for new manufactories of arms at Lucca and
Florence have been drawn up. The ironworks in
the valley of Brescia are also employed in making
military articles. The Minister of Marine, on his
side, is about to send to Sweden, before the closing
of the navigation of the Baltic, vessels to bring to
Piedmont the guns cast there for the Government."

TEE ATTEMPTED RESCUE FllOlll THE
AGAPEMON E.

The following account of the attempt made by
be Rev. Mr. Price to rescue his wife from the

Abode of Love," which we briefly reported in our

mpressionof Wednesday last, is from Western

Counties _Herald :

" Thelatest seceder from the Agapemone, the Rey.
Lewis Price, is determined nor to lose his wife and
her fortune of £6,000 without a struggle, and in.
that resolve he will assuredly be supported by
public opinion. Having freed himself from the
thraldom and delusions of Henry James Prince, the
Welsh curate is using his best exertions to free his
lady also. Mr. Price quitted the Abode of Love in
the early part of this year, having been previously
seperated from his wife by 'the Beloved's' directions
some six weeks. In May last we recounted the
fruitless efforts the husband had made to get

possession of his spouse, and the fact that be-
fore a judge in chambers she had declared that
she was not detained in the Chailinch residence

against her inclination. Since that time Mr. Price
seems to have quietly submitted .to his deprivation,
but the decision of the Vice Chancellor in the case of
Nottidge v. Prince' has aroused him once more to
exertion. It is no secret now that Price was a man

of no property when Harriet Lancaster Nottidge
was informed by Prince it was the will of God'
she should take the Welshman for her husband, and
that the .0,000 he acquired by Ms marriage has
been transferred to the imposter who asserts that
he is the Holy Ghost. Any proceeding Mr. Price
may take for the recovery of his wife's fortune must
be materially affected by her evidence, and to the
ordinary motive of affection for his lady there is
thus added the desirability of obtaining her aid and
testimony in favour of a suit against the man she
now regards as her spiritual saviour. Former
watchings outside the house and grounds, with a
policeman within hail to prevent a breach of the
peace. having proved unavailing, Mr. Price made
a bold attempt to get possession of his wife on Fri.
day Last, with the help of three stout men, not offi-
cers of the law. On the night preceding the adven-
ture he slept at the Lamb Inn, adjoining the insti-
tution of which he was formerly an inmate. Accord-
ing to arrangement his three assistants arrived at
Charlinch from Bridgwater in a fly, between four
and Eve o'clock in the morning, their mission being
to protect him from the fury of the Agapemonites.
He forthwith scaled the gates, entered the grounds,
and secreted himself near the conservatory, which
he was aware Mrs. Price was accustomed to visit,
his backers remaining in the roadway ready to obey
his call. Time wore on, and nothing particular
transpired till about nine o'clock, when the watchers
heard Mr. Price say several times, I will have you
Harriett.' This exclamation was followed by a
piercing shriek of ' murder,' uttered by a female
voice, and the trio at once jumped ever the rails in
front of the laundry, and over the second gate leadin g
to the grounds of the Agapemone. Here they
were met by twenty or thirty persons who stopped
their further progress, insisted that they had no
burin ess on those premises,' and in reply to their
assertions that they had business there becauie
they had heard some one crying Murder,' ordered
them off, and compelled them to return back to the
road. They saw Mr. Price and Mrs. Price down
upon. the lawn, surrounded by some thirty or forty
persons—men, women, and children. In a few
minutes Mr. Price was forcibly ejected, and the four
.nvaders had to come away crest-fallen, their enter-

prise having failed. It appears that Mrs. Price
was seen by her husband walking through the gar-
den cline ; he thereupon left his hiding place and
desired her to leave with him ; she refused, and he
seized her round the waist to carry her away. Then
it was that she cried out ' Murder,' and threw her-
self upon the ground. As soon as the alarm was
given the Agapemonites came out in full force with
astonishing promptitude. Part of their _number
rushed to the gate to keep out the three men, and
the others crowded round the husband and wife
struggling on the grass. Several men, it is said,
thre,* themselves upon Mr. Price, and it is further
alleged that the Rev. Mr. Starkey knelt upon his
chest and forced him to release his lady. After she
had. got from him he laid hold of her again, but was
wrenched away, and turned out at the gate. Al-
though a strong and determined man, he was no
match for thirty or forty opponents. The arch-
Agapemonite, Prince himself, was not present at
the melee. There can be little doubt that the dwel-
lers in the Abode of Love had got scent of what was
about to take place. Information as to the waiting
hoarse and fly, and the strange men sauntering
abc nit was probably conveyed to them, and mea-
sure s at once taken to defeat the project evidently
nn the point of being put in motion. Near half-
past. six in the morning a dozen or more labourers
and haymakers left the Agapemone, apparently
with the intention of pursuing their avocations
in -the fields of the farm. An hour later one of
the carriages with two horses attached quitted
the Abode,' and its errand must have been to
bring back the labourers by another route, for
when the period for action arose all the
labourers, who had been seen to leave, were in the
grounds to drive out Mr. Pricy and his coadjutors.
That the design, was discovered is also clear from the
rapidity with which they mustered when Mrs.
Price shrieked, for they were out before the three
men in the road conld get half- a-dozen yards, and
are described as having ' swarmed like bees in a
second of time.' Mr. Price, though several times
defeated, does not seem to be a man easily daunted.
We wish him more success in his next essay. He is
convinced that if he can release his wife from the
influence of Prince, he can shake her belief in the
delusions she now credits. If she be made of the
saroe stuff as her deceased sister, Louisa Jane Not-
tidge, this will be a more difficult task than he
imagines, for it will be remembered that the rela-
tives of that lady tried every means to disabuse her
mind of the monstrous notion that Prince was God
Almighty, and had eventually to place her in a
lunatic asylum, for the two-fold purpose of dissi-
pating her mad belief in an impostor, and keeping
her out of his clutches. They were unsuccessful.
Whether Mr. Price will be more fortunate remains
to be proved. A more resolute attempt to release
Mrs. Price from the Agapemone was to have been
made on Monday night or Tuesday morning; but
it was ascertained, after every arrangement had been
made, and Mr. Price and his helpers were on their
way to the scene of operations, that the lady had
been removed from the Agapemone. Whither she
had been taken remains at present a mystery."
