THE EXTRAORDINARY ROBBERY OF THE FULHAM MAIL
BAG.—The two men Channell (alias Shannon) and Neville
wore placed at the bar, on remand, charged with stealing
the Fulham mail bag, containing over 200 letters and
newspapers, the property of her Majesty's Postmaster-
Gen era l.

Mr. King, from Coldbath Prison, proved a former con-
viction against each of the prisoners.
Mr. Flowers said that being the case, if either of the pri-
soners had anything to say that would be the proper time
for them to do so.

Channel( (or Shannon) said ho wished fora remand, in
order that he might have a witness in attendance who
could speak to the conduct, of the detectives, who, iu
crier to get their names up, were is the habit of employ-
ing people, to in•luce others to commit felony, in order that
th,y might take them into custody. In the present case,
which roquired a good d-al of looking into, the third party
charged with being in the, roblPry, and who had been
spoken of :IS the Mall who hail got away—this wit-
ness, he believed, would provo that the detec-
tives lrol given him half-a-crown to make them
both drunk, in order that they might commit
the robbery, and when they had done so the third
man who was acting for the detective . was allowed to
escape. lie, therefore, wished fur a remand, in order that
this person might be ()Ailed upon to attend and give
evidence.

Mr. Flowers thought the witness could be in attendance
at the trial.

tend and give his evidence before he was convicted, in
order that ho should state what he know of the

MARLBOROUCirI-STREET.

-
A WRETCHED STORY.--;Margaret Warren, a meanly-
clad woman, was charged with assaulting her daughter,
Margaret Warren, about 12 years of ago.
The complainant, a meek child, said-71 reside with my
father and mother at No. 28, Tower-street, and last night
my mother struck me on the bead with a saucepan handle
and afterwards threw me down stairs.

Mr. Knox—This is the letter the father writes to me:—
" Your Worship,—l` am very sorry to hear from you of
the bad conduct of my wife towards me and the children.
She has stripped my room of almost everything she can
lay her hands on. She has taken the bed things away,
and I have nothing to cover me and the children with. I
am laid up with rheumatism in my legs, and cannot walk
across the room. She is very cruel to me now I can't help
myself. Drink is her only study. She has commenced
taking the things off the children's backs to keep them
from school. She will not let them go to school for some
reason or the other. lam nearly broken-hearted about
her. She has been going on like this fur 10 years, and she
has only just come out of prison."
Prisoner—Did I strike you ?

Complainant—Yes, you did.
Mrs. Margaret Russell, a widow, and landlady of No. 28,
Tower-street, said—l was fetched three times to the house
from my other house owing to the prisoner's violence.
The first time the prisoner was going out to sell a sauce-
pan, and I took it away and gave it to her daughter.
Shortly after I saw her attempting to strike her daughter
with a saucepan handle, and I took it away from her. She
had dragged her husband out of bed by the hair of his
head, and he was lying on the stairs. I had not left the
house more than a quarter of an hour when I was fetched
again, and she had then just thrown her daughter down
stairs. The prisoner had once been sent to prison for three
months at the instance of the Marquis Townshend for ill
treating her children.
Mr. Knox—ls the girl a good girl ?
Mrs. Russell—She is.

Joseph Winson—Last night I was called to the house,
and found the girl had just Won thrown down stairs. I
took the prisoner into custody, when she made use of most
filthy language. She has been imprisoned for threo
months for a similar offence.

Mr. Knox —Was she drunk or sober ?
Constable—Drunk and very violent.

The prisoner, in the course of a rambling address to
the magistrate, in which she talked of her " poor dear
children" and her " poor sick husband," promised that if
the magistrate would forgive her she would at once take
the pledge.
Mr. Knox—l think you may consider it vary fortunate
you are not standing hero on a charge of murder. You
first strike your daughter with an iron saucepan handle,
and then threw her down stairs, and you pulled your sick
husband out of bed. I shall commit you for six months
under the Aggravated Ass,tults Act, and at the end of that
time you will find bail in £2O for three months.
