HOME CIRCUIT.---LEIVES, July le.
(Before Mr. Baron Bramwell.)
Maria Hu tea, 2G, described as a dressmaker,
and who appt.arcd at the bar wearing a stylish hat,
with lace .veil and long feather, and otherwise
fashionably attired, was indicted for stealing 2s. 6d.,
the monies of James Deeves, from the person of

Jane Deeves.
The Hon. G. Denman prosecuted ; the prisoner
was defended by Mr. Creasy.
It appeared from the evidence of the prosecu-
tion, that on the 28th of June sho had gune to a
fete at Arundel, with a number of friends, and on
her return to Brighton in the evening there was a
great crowd on the platrorm at tho station. She
observed the prisoner among the persons who were
assembled, and she looked at her in the face
and pushed up against her rather rudely, and
shortly afterwards she missed 23. 6d. from her
pocket. The prisoner contrived to get away at the
time, and she was not apprehended until a consi-
derable period afterwards.

The jury acquitted the prisoner upon this charge.
She was then tried upon a second indictment for a
misdemeanour, in having attempted to commit
felony.
In this case it appeared that the prosecutrix had
been to the gardens at New Shoreham, and upon
her going to the railway station to return home, a
woman, whom she recognised as the prisoner,
pushed up against her, and she felt her hand in her
pocket. She was not taken at the time of the Com-
mission of the offence, but the prosecutrix met the
prisoner shortly afterwards and gave her into cus-
tody.
The defence set up by Mr. Creasy was, that the
prosecutrix was mistaken as to the identity of the
prisoner.
The jury, after a short deliberation, returned a
verdict of guilty.
The learned judge inquired of the Brighton
policemen whether they_knew anything of the
prisoner
They replied that they did not. She had, it ap-
peared, come from London, and was iu the habit of
goings to all the different places of amusement very
handsomely dressed.
His lordship, in passing sentence, said he was
afraid there could be no doubt that the prisoner was
a practised thief, and in order to deter her from
such a course in future, he should sentence her to
be kept to hard labour or twelve months.
The prisoner hastily retreated from the dock
when the sentence was pronounced, and when she
had been removed to the cell underneath, she deli-
berately tore her fine net to pieces, and then seized
her muslin dress in her teeth, and was proceeding
to demolish that also, whe i she wts prevented by
the keepers, and taken to the prison van. As s3on
as she got into the street she commenced hurrahing,
and threw her parasol into the crowd. When she
was taken into the prison, it appeared that she
made an onslaught on the windows as she passed,
and broke several, and when she was placed in the
cell, she demolished everything within her reach.

OXFORD CIRCUIT. —WORCESTER, July 16.
Mr. Justice Hill got through the cause list to-
day. The common jury causes tried out consisted
of two actions as to the right to a. small bit of land
and a mud hole, and some disputed questions of
account. The special jury cause was not tried, an
arrangement having been made between the parties.
CROWN COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice Byles.)
A GIRL KILLED BY HER BROTHER.

Geo. Felton was charged with the manslaughter
of his sister at Oldbury on the 19th March last.
Mr. Cli^nce conducted the prosecution. The
youthful prisoner was undefended.
The brother and sister worked together in a col-

liery at Oldbury, and having quarrelled, the sister
beat the trother badly, on which he threw a lump
of hard clay at the deceased, which struck her on
the head under the ear, and caused her almost in-
stantaneous death. _ _

lordship, after hearing the evidence for the
prosecution, thought it was a case of justifiable
homicide, the boy only having stood up in self
defence.

The jury acquitted the rrigoner.

NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—YoRR, JULY 16.
(Before the Lord Chief Baron.)
WONPAR V. ROBINSON.—BREACH OF PROMISE OF
MARRIAGE.
Mr. Blanshard was for the plaintiff ; awl Mr.
Overend, Q. C., for the defendant
- ea*'"
rate collector, tt
but oug poor a een we ft rongfit
up she had been in the situation of a governess,
and hail always conducted herself wall. Time de-
fendant is a butcher, also residing at Leeds, and
he and the plaintiff became acquainted in Novem-
ber, 1856. He asked to be allowed to become her
suitor, permission was granted, and he was a con-
stant visitor at the house of the plaintiff's lather.
Ile sometimes took his coeds time, and he was at
all times received and treated as the future husband
of the plaintiff. Defendant was upon the most in-
timate terms with her, they walked together, and
there was ote circumstance worthy of remark, that
he presented her with his likeeess—(laughter)—
brardit her music, and antic:path% the happy time
when he would make her his wife he put upon it
the name of " Mrs. Robinson." The business of
the defendant being a butcher, be showed her his
desk where she would have to make up his books,
and in the presence of a very respectalde witness,
he-said the plaintiff would be Mrs. Robinson with-
'in five weeks. The banns were published, and
everything went on well for a considerable time, a
sister-in-law being told by the defendant that she
would he looked upon as a relation or connexion after-
wards. The defendant was then a widower, and
with reference to two children of his, he said the
plaintiff would become the stepmother of two of the
finest children in Leeds. (Laughter.) He pointed
out to Miss Gurtt a rocking chair—(renewed
laught?r)—as well as a bell, which be said would
be us:d to ring up the plaintiff's maid in the morn-
ing. (Laughter.) Matters became not so smooth
in March of last year, but afterwards they went on
swimmingly until July. The banns had been
published, the defendant himself saw and admired
a wedding dress which had been bought, and criti-
cised it, and said the plaintiff would look extremely
well in it. The defendant, however, failed to make
the plaintiff his wife, and married a young woman
named Webster. he plaintiff is 38 years of age,
and the defendant 37.
The defence was that the defendant was insol-
vent, and unable to fulfil his engagement with the
plaintiff, such engagement never having been ab-
solute, but merely conditional, when his circum-
stances in life improved. It was also alleged that
the plaintiff, by a written document, signed by her,
exonerated the defendant from his engagement.
It was agreed to dispose of the case by the with.
drawal of a juror—a course which mit with the ap-
proval of the judge.

The town of Glastonbury was in a state of great agi-
tation ou Friday last, on the occasion of the return o
Mr. Hodge, a gentleman whose connection with Orsini
led to his temporary imprisonment at Genoa, and for
whom a pu'colic reception had been prepared by hie
friends. .
