pany of Phillips. He (prisoner) said that he knew nothing
at all about Phillips.
Mr. Elliott—ls the prisoner known ?
Coppin Yes, sir. lie is the constant associate of
thieves, housebreakers, and the worst of characters. I be-
lieve'he has been tried.
The prisoner stated that the officer had seen him re-
peatedly since Phillips was taken into custody. He has
been seen constantly by him at the Elephant and Castle,
where he is repeatedly.
The officer said that he wanted the prisoner before Phillips
was tried, as he wished to produce him at the trial. He
has never seen the prisoner since Phillips's conviction till
that day.

Remanded.
Eleanor Colman, a good-looking young woman, and
respectably dressed, who was described as a dressmaker,
living in Tiverton-street, Newington-causeway, was brought
up in the custody of Sergeant Coppin, from Winchester
Gaol, charged under the following circumstances :
Mr. Solomons attended for the prisoner.
It appeared from the evidence that about the beginning
of last month, between seven and ten o'clock at night, the
house of Mr. Marshall, of Grosvenor-park, Camberwell,
was broken open, whets a quantity of wearing apparel and
other articles were stolen. On the sth of July last, as Mrs.
Marshall was passing the shop of Mr. Jolland, dyer, New-
ington-causeway, she saw a silk dress, which she identified
as belonging to her, and to be part of the property stolen
on the night in question. She gave information to Coppin,
who soon ascertained that it had been left there by a woman
named Conden, in whose house the prisoner lodged. He
went there, and from the description given of the person
who had given the article to the woman Conden to leave at
the dyer's to be cleaned, he suspected that it was the prisoner,
who was then in Winchester Gaol.
The prisoner's landlady stated that the prisoner had occu-
pied an apartment in her house about three months, and
that she was a dressmaker.
In answer to Mr. Solomons, she stated that about eight
weeks ago she left the dress at a dyer's to be cleaned. The
prisoner had worn it three or four times in the daytime.
Coppin said that he took the prisoner into custody that
(yesterday) morning, about seven o'clock, as she was leav-
ing Winchester Gaol. He had searched the prisoner's
lodgings, and found there a large roll of cloth, a gold
watch and chain, five gold rings, and two shawls.
Mr. Elliott—What was she in prison for ?
Officer—l believe on a charge of being in the company of
another female when a lady's pocket was picked. She says
she was not guilty.
Mr. Elliott—Did she say anything to the charge ?
Officer—Yes, sir; she said that she bought the dress in
Petticoat-lane, and that she could account for everything
I took away. I also found four pawnbroker's tickets, one
for a geld watch, pledged for L 4 10s., and one for a gold
pencil-case, &c.
Mr. Solomons said be could not see how the prisoner
could be connected with the burglary. She could account
for the possession of everf article found by the officer, and
was desirous of giving him every information.
The prisoner was remanded.

THAMES.—MURDEROUS ASSAULT.—Henry Barrett,
a dark and dirty-looking fellow, was brought before 31r.
Selfe, charged with committing a violent assault on
Catherine Sullivan.
The complainant, a dissipated-looking woman, said she
had been cohabiting with tee prisoner for three years, and
he bad frequently beaten and kicked her. He was once
committed for four months by one of the magistrates of
Worship-street for." jobbing" a pipe into her eye, the sight
of which was nearly lost. On the previous night she had just
brought home food for her two childrea, when the prisoner
came home drunk, and beat and kicked her. He threw her
down, and endeavoured to strangle her. He hit her about
the head and face, and she was covered with blood when the
police came in and interfered. She really believed the pri-
soner would murder her if he was not restrained, but she
did not wish to punish him.
Mr. Selfe—l won't consult your wishes.
The prisoner in defence said that he and his " wife" were
bath drunk on Tuesday, and that they always fought when
they were in that state. His " wife" had sent him to the
hospital several times, and some time since she broke his
arm. He came out of the hospital only a few weeks ago.
Mr. Selfe read a certificate put in by the prisoner, and
said he had not been treated for a broken arm.
Sharper, police-constable 450 K, said he found the woman
Sullivan weltering in her blood. She bad been terribly
punished. The man was drunk, the woman was sober.
Mr. &ire, said a more wretched and unhappy couple bad
never come before him. He sentenced the prisoner to three
months' imprisonment and bard labour.
BURGLARY AND ROBBERY.—George Abbott, A man
about 31 years of age, a shipkeeper, was brought up on
remand, before Mr. Selfe, charged with burglariously break-
ing into and entering the Folly House, a well-known
tavern at Millwall, Poplar, and stealing therefrom £6O in
money belonging to George Blamire, the landlord.
Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, conducted the prosecution ;
Mr. Beard, solicitor, defended the prisoner.
It appeared from the evidence that on the night of Tues-
day, the 3d instant, the house was secured, and the bar par-
lour and cupboards were fastened up in the usual manner,
and particular attention was paid to the bolts of the cellar
flap which opens outwards. The flap was bolted,
and appeared to be quite secure. At about half-past
eleven o'clock or a quarter before twelve o'clock,
the inmates retired to rest. On the following
morning at six o'clock, when the potman went
down stairs, he discovered that the house had been entered in
the course of the night. The bar and bar parlour were in a
state of great confusion, and various things were strewn
about the fluor. The potrnan immediately alarmed his
master and Mr. Blamire's mother, when they ascertained that
an entrance had been effected by forcing up with some in-
struine'nt one of the boards of the cellar lisp, which was in a
detective state, and unfastening the bolts. The thief or
thieves had then easily descended into the cellar, and walked
ua stairs into the bar. A cupboard in the bar parlour bad
been forced open, and an old box containing 460 in gold,
three £5 notes, and a cheque for 49 10s. removed.
The box was broken open and all the gold abstracted. A
soldier's pouch containing the notes and cheque had been
carefully examined, " fumbled up" again and thrown upon
the floor; indeed, the burglars were particularly cautious
in not taking away anything that might lead to detection.
Half a box of cigars, some brandy, and other articles were
named. The prisoner had been for some time employed as
ship keeper of an old and disused steam-vessel called the
Diamond, lying in the river off the Folly House. The pri-
soner was a frequenter of the house almost daily for several
months, occasionally seating himself fur hours in front of
the bar, and was acquainted with all the internal
arrangements of the Blamire family. The prisoner
was in the house on the evening of the 2d inst., and
left rather earlier than usual. On the morning of the
3d, after the burglary and robbery bad been discovered,
Inspector Thomas, of the Thames police, was called in,
and he immediately suspected the prisoner. Two house-
breaking implements had been left by the burglars in the
bar parlour of the Folly House. They were delivered to the
inspector, who went on board the Diamond and saw
the prisoner and his wife. The inspector produced
the implements, and said to the prisoner " Do you know
these tools ?" The prisoner's wife immediately replied
" Yes, I do; my husband has had them in his possession a
long while. The prisoner raised his hands, and said to his
wife, " There—l told you," and stopped. Inspector
Thomas asked the prisoner what time he was on shore on
the night of the 2d, and his answer was that he was not on
shore after nine o'clock in the evening. Mrs. Emily Hebden,
the wife of a lighterman, and residing next door to the
Folly House, saw the prisoner on the Folly Wall at half-
past 11 or a quarter before 12 o'clock on the night of the
2d. The prisoner was accompanied by his wife and
two men, and they all got into a boat, and proceeded
towards the Diamond steamer, moored in the stream.
On a Sunday morning in June, Mr. Blamire and a friend
were in the cellar upon business, and the prisoner, taking
advantage of the flap being open, jumped into the cellar,
and Mr. Blamire was compelled to give him a glass of spirits
before he would leave it. None of the money had been
recovered.
Mr. Young asked for another remand, and said he should
have additional evidence to produce at the next examina'sion.
Mr. Beard contended there was no evidence against the
prisoner, who was a very respectable and honest man, and
that he ought to be discharged.
Mr. Selfe observed that it was impossible to shut out from
the case what the prisoner's wife said when the officer pro-
duced the housebreaking implements. The evidence was
slight, but he could not discharge the prisoner, whom he
should remand on bail until next Wednesday.
Bail was put in by the prisoner's brother.
ATROCIOUS OUTRAGE UPON AN AMERICAN CAPTAIN.
—James Chas. Henry Fraser, a black seaman, was brought
oefore Mr. Selfe, upon a warrant, in the custody of Foay,
a police officer, No. 7 H, charged with being concerned,
with five other men of colour, iu assaulting and wounding
Capt. Samuel Annis, the master of the American ship
Satellite.
Mr. Fletcher, solicitor, of Arbour-square, Stepney, said
that the defendant was late able seaman and boatswain of
the Satellite, on a voyage from America to Calcutta and
London. On the 3lst of last month the complainant appeared
in that court on nine summonses taken out by the defendant
and eight other coloured mariners for wages earned at sea.
He (Mr. Fletcher) took an objection in limine that the ship
Satellite sailed under American colours, that the captain was
an American, and that the magistrate had no jurisdiction in
the case. His objection was allowed by Mr. Yardley, and all
the summonses were dismissed. The captain was leaving the
court, and was proceeding towards his (Mr. Fletcher'e)
office, when the men of colour, who were very much
irritated, commenced abusing the captain, pushed him into
the middle of the road, and committed a most atrocious
and cowardly attack upon him. The defendant Fraser first
knocked him down, and then kicked him • and as fast as he
got up was knocked down again and kicked about the head
and face, and would have been certainly murdered but for
the prompt aid of the police and officers of the court, who
instantly arrested three of the assailants. The captain
returned into court with the blood streaming fr op
his
wounds, and very much injured, and he was spitting blood
for several hours afterwards. Two of the offenders were
fined £5 each ; and the third, who could not be identified, was
discharged, and warrants were granted for the apprehension
Fraser and others, who escaped. He trusted that under the
.!irCumstanCeS and as the captain, a stranger, was grossly
assaulted while leaving an English court of justice, the
same penalty would be inflicted on the defendant as was
inflicted on his confederates, and that as he bad used the
most diabolical threats towards the captain, he would be
bound over to keep the peace. The ship was seized on a
bottomry bond on her arrival here, but all the men except
Fraser and another, who was out of the way, had been
since paid. The outrage and threats were proved by nume-
rous witnesses.
The defendant said he had left the court before the affray
commenced.
Mr. Selfe said there was an overwhelming array of evi-
dence against the prisoner, who was concerned in a gross
outrage. He fined him £5 or two months' imprison-
ment, and further ordered that he should find sureties to
keep the peace towards Capt. Annis and all her Majesty's
subjects for three months.

CRYSTAL PALACE.—As part of a system for en-
abling the public to judge of thb excellences of the various
military bands of the country, the band of the 47th Regi-
ment (now quartered at Aldershot) will visit the Crystal
Palace to-morrow (Friday), performing in the palace and
grounds a selection of popular music. The 47th acquired
much distinction from its service in the Crimea, where its
band was held in high repute. In common with other regi-
ments of the line, the uniform of the musicians is white,
and most of them are decorated with the war medal.
SERIOUS RIOTS IN IRELAND.—WC learn from a

cultural machines, and assaulting their owners. The magis-
trates held a meeting atStoneyford, and resolved to petition
