take them up a turning. She then took of their
pinafores, rolled them up rondo her shawl, and
left them. Witness stopped her, arid asked her
what she had been doing with the-e children,
when she replied that they were her own, and she was
going to take them home to 41, Union-strett. Witness
looked under her shawl, and found the two pinafores
produced, when they went back to the children, who
were too young to tell their parents' address. They,
however, told Lim that the prisoner was not their
mother.

Mr. Thomas Naylor stated that last evening he, with
with his wife, went to Chancery-lane, the residence of
the prisoner's mother, who is a relative of his (witness's)
wife, to ascertain the state of her health, she being in
the last stage of consumption. While he was there the
prisoner began to use very bad language, which had a
very serious effect upon his mother, who was in bed in
the apartment. He remonstrated with the prisoner, and
told him he ought not to act in the way he was doing,
for the sake of his mother. He continued to use dis-
gusting language, and he (witnes) boxed his (prisoner's)
ears, when he turned round and attacked him with a
knife, which be took from him. The prisoner then
stooped down and picked up the poker, with which he
was about to strike him, but he closed with him, and
knocked it out of his band, but not before ho received a
blow on the temple, the mark of which was visible.
The sister of the prisoner was so greatly alarmed
at his outrageous conduct that it was deemed
advisable to send for a policeman. He went down stairs
with the intention of getting a policeman to frighten the
boy, as he thought if he gave him in charge it would have
a fatal effect on his mother. A policeman came up, and
he mentioned the circumstance to him, and the constable
went up stairs. In a very short time after, while at the
foot of the stairs, he heard a slight report.
Police constable 4 F said he was on duty last night in
Chancery-lane, and at about half-pest eight he passed
the house in which the prisoner resided, No. 30, and
sew Naylor talking to a constable. He stopped, and he
then heard the first witness say he had taken a knife
from the boy, but he did not wish to charge him as his
mother was so ill. While he was at the door Naylor's
wife came down stairs and said she must give the boy in
charge, as it was not safe to have him in the house, and
she then asked him to come in and take him into custody.
He entered the house and went up stairs, and saw the
prisoner standing in the passage of the first floor, and
the female said to him, "That's him." He was about
to take the boy into custody, when he said, " Wait a
minute," and be then ran into the kitchen, and his sister
screamed and said he had got a pistol. Before he could
get the weapon from him he levelled it at him and pulled
the trigger ; bat, fortunately, the percussion cap only
exploded. He then seized the prisoner, and the pistol
having been secured by his father, he (constable) asked
if it was loaded, and the prisoner said "Yes." He was
standing about a yard and a half from the boy when he
shot at him. The prisoner was then taken to the staton-
house,and on his being searched a smallquantityof gunpow-
der and a box containing some small shot and percussion
caps was found on him. The pistol was a double-bar-
relled one, and on the charge being drawn at the sta-
tion-house it was found to have been properly loaded,
and contained about, 30 small shots. Oa his way to the
station-house the prisoner said that either his brother or
sister would have been served the same way if they had
been first. He also said the powder was damp, and that
he only acted as he had done to frighten people.
Mr. Jardine asked the boy what he had to say in
answer to the charge.

Elivlbeth Miller, 8 years old, r. sidirg with her parents
in Paradise-street, La►nbeth, was next s corn. She said
that one day the week before last the prisoner met
kcr and two other girls in the `Vestuiin6ter•rsad, and
asked them to accompany her to Kennington•park.
They all went there, and while sitting on one
of the benches the prisoner took off their shoes,
bonnets, and shawls, saying that she was going to
show them to a lady, who would send them back new
ones. She then went away, but never returned. The
two tither girls here identified her also, but they were
too young to be sworn as witnesses. The mothers of
the children said that they sent them out ,s ith all their
clothes on, and the poor things were brought hone
nearly naked and crying very much.
The prisoner, who laughed nearly all the time the ex-
amination was going on, said in the most impudent
manner that the children, as well as all the other wit-
nesses, were liars. She knew nothing of them.
A former conviction having been proved against her
for similar robberies, the magistrate fully committed her
for trial at the ensuing sessions.

The boy, who during the hearing of the case bad
evinced the greatest indifference, declined saying any-
thing.
Mr. Naylor asked the magistrate if he would deal in
a summary manner with the case.

Mr. Jardine—You might as well ask me to deal sum-
marily with a case of murder. The offence with which
the prisoner is charged is next to it. If the pistol had
gone off, the officer would no doubt have been killed.
Mr. Naylor.—l think his intellect is not so clear as
it ought to be.

The father of the boy, a very respectable man, being
in court, the magistrate desired 11;m to come forward,
and he then put the question to him whether he thought
the mind of his son was dtsordered.
The father said ho had not the slightest reason to
158 162, think so.

The depositions were then read over and signed, the
witnesses were severally bound over, and the prisoner
was fully committed for trial.

MARLBOROUGH STREET.

A SUSPICIOUS CAM—Joseph Howard, a middle-aged
man, who described himself as a metal dealer, residing
at No. 5, Liverpool-road, King's•cross, was brought be-
fore Mr. Bingham, charged with having a large quantity
of metal in his possession, supposed to have been stolen.

Police constable 75 F deposed that about ten o'clock
that morning he was ou duty in Crown-street, when he
saw the prisoner approaching him with a bag con-
taining something heavy across his shoulders. Witness
watched him for a few minutes, and saw him
enter a marine store shop in the same street kept
by a man named Church. Witness fcllowed him
and saw him shoot A quantity of brass taps, bells,
and pewter measures into the scales. Witness asked
the prisoner where he got the metal from, and
he then said he was a metal collector, and had
bought it in the usual way of business. Not being satis-
fied with that answer, he took the prisoner into custody.
On examining the articles he found a quart pot, with the
name of Argent, Cock and Bottle, Strand, engraved
thereon, several pounds weight of 'run metal, and a
number of bells and brass taps; the whole of which he
now produced.

The prisoner denied that the metal was stolen, he pur-
chased the run metal of Frederick Knowlton, a marine
store dealer, in the Broadway, Westminster, for 6d. a
pound, and the pewter pot be bought of Knowlton's
brother, in Holles-street, Clare .✓Market ; the rest of the
metal he picked up in the regular way of business.
Mr. Bingham said the case was full of suspicion, and
remanded the prisoner till Friday next.
