CRIMINAL COURT.—(This Day).

OLD COURT.
(Before the Recorder.)
THE CASE OF Ma. SNAPS.

In this case, which, it will be remembered, is a prose-
cutiois instituted by the Lunacy Commissioners against
the defendant, vt ho is one of the medical officers of the
Surrey County Lunatic Asylum, for causing the death
of a pauper lunatic by keeping him for a long period in
a cold shower bath, Mr. Bodkin, who appeared for the
prosecution, applied to have the recognisances of the
witnesses for the prosecution respited to the neat session.
He said that although the defendant was committed by
the magistrate to this session, it was understood at the

time that, it would be impossible to be ready to go on
with the case it the present session, and he believed it
would meet the convenience of all parties that the trial
should be postponed.
The recognisances of the witnesses were then ordered
to be enlarged to the next ses,ion. _

Henry Sierens pleaded guilty to a charge of robbery
with violence.

The robbery imputed to the prisoner was one of a very
daring and impudent character. It appeared that the
prisoner and anothpr man went into the shop of the pro-
secutor, Mr. Cockeyne, a jeweller, in Mark-lane, at six
o'clock in the evening. The prosecutor was alone in
the shop, and they asked him to show them some studs,
and upon his turning round to the glass case, the pri•
sonar's companion seized him by the throat while the
prisoner deliberately began emptying the cases of the
jewellery_ they contained. Tho prosecutor struggled
with his assailant, sad was severely injured; and at
length both the men ran away. The prisoner was stopped
by a man named Joseph Williams, who, after a very
severe struggle, succeeded in securing him, and about
601. worth of je we lery WAS found in his possession. The
other man succeeded in making his escape.

Evidence was given that the prisoner had been before
convicted of burglary, and he was sentenced to ba trans-
ported for 14 years.
The Recorder ordered a reward of 51. to be paid to
Williams for his gallant conduct upon the occasbn.

ATTEMPTED MURDER IN MARY-

LEBONE.

This afternoon a young man, whogave the name of
John Coles, was examined at Marlborough-street police
court, charged with attemptirg to murder& young fe-
male named Emily Lucas.
From the evidence it appeared that last right the pri-
soner was loitering about Harley-street villas, and at
about half-past 9 a boy arrived at No. 9 and rung the
bell. The girl, a servant at the house, opened the ioor
to take the parcel the boy bad to deli vtr, when the
prisoner rushed up and fired a pistol at her, which
took effect in the forehead, between the eyes, one of
which it completely knocked out. The poor girl fell to
the ground, and the prisoner made off. The wounded
woman was taken to S. Mary's Hospital, and it was
discovered that the wound was likely to cause death. At
about half past 10 last night, the prisoner gave himself
up to Constable Williams, D, saying, " I'm your pri-
soner. I've shot her, and you'll soon bear all about it."
He was searched at the station, and on his person
was found 8 love letters, 4 percussion caps, 4 small
pebbles, oz. of powder, and a pistol.
The weapon, with which the deed was committed,
was a large horse pistol. Jealousy is said to be the
cause of the melancholy affair.
The magistrate having heard the evidence of the
house surgeon of the hospital, remanded the prisoner.
