CRIMINAL COURT.—{This Day.)

The February Sessions at the Central Criminal Court
commenced this morning at the Sessions House, Old
Bailey, before the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, Sir G.
Carroll, the Recorder, Alderman Wire, Alderman and
Sheriff Lawrence, Mr. Sheriff Allen, the Under Sheriffs,
and other civic authorities.

The calendar contains a list of 70 prisoners for trial,
with the exception of five cases of manslaughter and
two of murder, they were of the ordinary description.
A. number of jurymen were fined 10/. each for non-
attendance.
The grand jury having been sworn,

The RECORDER, in delivering his charge, said that
although the calendar was not heavy, he was sorry to
say that five of the cases extended to manslaughter, and
one to murder ; in that case two men, named Jeremiah
Calligan and Patrick Murphy, were charged with the
wilful murder of Henry Morgan, a police constable,
and it now appeared that the occurrence arose out of a
drunken row ; a person bad given Calligan into custody
for an assault, and a number of persons attempted a
rescue when be was in the custody of the deceased,
which resulted in his receiving a blow which terminated
in his death. One of the questions will be, whether there
is sufficient to identify the prisoner Calligan as having
inflicted the blow ; if there was sufficient evidence,
no doubt the prisoner was guilty of murder, and
those who were identified as having taken part
in the rescue were equally liable. There appeared to
have been strong evidence of the identity, and if they
were of that opinion, it would be their duty to return
a true bill. The next case was one in which
James O'Neal, a tailor, was ()barged with feloniously
assaulting John Richardson, with intent to murder
him. This case also arose out of a drunken
squabble, in which the prisoner seised a pair of tcngs,
and struck the prosecutor several violent blows. The
next case is a charge against Sarah Bennett, a married
woman, for feloniously killing and slaying Mary Bennett.

It appeared from the depositions, that the prisoner
had been quarreling with her husband, when
the deceased seemed to have interfered to protect her
mother, and re, nited in her receiviog a violent blow on
the head with a hammer, which caused her death. The
learned Recorder having britity adverted to the other
cases which would come before the grand jury, in which
the master of Newington Workhouse was charged with
converting the bodies of paupers under his care for anato-
mical purposes, said that some time since an act vra,.
passed for affording facilities to medical students and
surgeons for the purposes of scientific anatomical pm.-
poses, but the act required that they should be the bodies
of persons who had died, and who either had no friend.
or were not identified. The defendant, had, it would,
he believed tern out, made use of his office as master of
the workholve, and used the bodies of persons who had
relatives, and a sort of mock funeral took place,
which was followed by the relatives ; there was
he believed, no e press statute ; the ordinary cases in
the books were those where bodies had been disinterred,
which was an offence at common law. The principal
evidence was that of a person who was in the nature of
an accompice ; and it they thought the defendant had
used the bodies for gain and reward he would advise
the jury to return a true bill, and then the case would
be considered in that court. He did not think there
were any other cases requiring observation.
The jury then retired.

The trial of Mr. Glover, the late member for Beverley,
for making an aleged false declaration as to his qualifi-
cation to sit in the House of Commons, is postponed till
the next session., with the consent uf the Crown.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.— (This Day.,

BOW STREET.

A respectable-looking young man named Alfred
Weaver, was charged by his employers, Messrs. Holder
and Co., of Great Queen-street, coach ironmongers, with
having embezzled various sums of money.
Mr. Holder stated that the prisoner was their shop-
man at a salary of 244. a•week. It was his duty to sell
goods acd enter the monies in a day-book ; also to pay
various arna'l sums and to account weekly for all that he
had received. Until lately he (the prosecutor) had no
suspicion that the prisoner was in the habit of Reding
goods aad omitting to eater them, but keeping back the
price. On Friday, the 22d inst., this suspicion was
aroused by a person bringing back to exchange a lamp
which he said he had purchased for Ss. a few weeks
before. It was a very unusual circumstance for a
carriage lamp to be sold singly, and he mt..; unable to
recollect such an entry, which ho must have noticed if it
bad appeared in the book. To make sure, he examined
the book, and finding no each entry, spoke to the pri-
soner, who said he remembered the sale, but could not
account for the fact that the entry was omitted—he
thought he had entered it. Oa further inquiry ho found
that the fellow-lamp bad been purchased by the Fame
person, in Dec., for Ss. dd., and had not been entered.
He mentioned this to the prisoner, who made the same
reply—that he thought he had entered it. On this be
gave him into custody.
The case was adjourned for inquiry into other alleged
defalcations.
