CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—This Day.

OLD COURT.
(Before the Recorder.)

Jeremiah Began, Honora Began, and Mary Sheen, wore
indicted for unlawfully assaulting and maliciously wound-
ing Thomas Sheen.
The prisoners were defended by Mr. Cooper.

From the evidence it appeared that tho last named pri-
soner was the wife of the prosocutrix, and daughter of
the other prisoners. The parties lived in Denham-yard,
Drury-lane, and the assault took place on the Bth of May.
Shortly before five o'clock on the morning of that day
a violent disturbance took place, and on the police going
to ascertain the cause they found the prosecutrix lying in
the passage, and the prisoner Sheen standing over her
with a flat iron in her hand, and Honora Regan with part
of an iron pot in her possession. Sheen was bleeding
from a number of wounds on his head, and he was
in such an exhausted condition that lie was at
once taken to King's College Hospital, whore
he remained for some time, his life bring
despaired of. The prisoners were taken to the station-
house, where the male prisoner Regan said all he did to
Sheen was in self-defence, and pointed to a severe wound
on his head. Oa the recovery of Sheen he stated that
he went to Denham-yard to 1330 his wife, when the male
prisoner seized him by the throat, and told him
he would settle accounts with him. The pro-
secutor made some obsexvation about his wife,
who was lying intoxicated at the foot of the bed, when
Regan seized him by the throat and thrust him out of the
house. He went up to the door again, when the three pri-
soners attacked him, and committed the injuries on him
which led to his being taken to the hospital.
The prisoner Sheen said her husband accused her of
stealing his money, and ordered her out of his place. She
wont to her father's, where the prosecutor followed her.
When her husband came he took her by the hair and
pulled her out of bed, and a quarrel ensued between the
whole lot. Prosecutor took up an iron pot and struck
her father with it, and hit her mother very violently. The
flat iron which she had in her hand her father took
from the prosecutor, otherwise her mother -would have
been killed. The prosecutor had been summoned for ill-
treating her, but her father had prevented her appearing
against him.
"' ' •

—The jury found the female prisoners guilty, and acquit-
ted Jeremiah Regan.
The Recorder said he thought it would be best for him
to refrain from passing sentence on the two females, pro-
vided the husbands would enter into sureties for their
good behaviour, and also for their coming up for judgment
when required. If they for the future lived like Christian
people, they would hear nothing of the matter, but, if not,
they would bo brought up for sentence and severely
punished.
THE ALLEGED FORGERIES ON THE LEEDS BANK.

The grand jury have returned three true bills for felony
and one for misdemeanour against Thomas Edgeley.

NEW COURT.
(Before the Common Sergeant.)
Edward Price and John Sidley, who were convicted last
session for a burglary in the dwelling house of Byatt
West, were brought up for sentence.
It will be recollected that the prisoners formed part of
the Brixton gang, who had committed so many depreda-
tions in that neighbourhood. They were remanded last
session, in order that their characters might be inquired
into. A former conviction was proved against Sidley.
The Common Sergeant sentenced Price to five years'
and Sidley to seven years' penal servitude.
William Smithers was indicted for feloniously receiving
from certain evil-di&posed persons three £lO Bank of Eng-
land notes, three £5-notes, and nine postage stamps, the
property of Netterville Barrow, and a purse and an Ame-
rican 10 cent note, the property of Joel Edwards, well
knowing them to have been stolen.
The property was stolen from the two gentlemen during
their visit to the Italian Opera.

The jury found Lim guilty, and the Common Sergeant
sentenced him to 18 months' imprisonment.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

BOW-STREET.

MUSIC-HALLS AGAIN.-Mr. Humphries (Humphries and
Morgan) solicitor, applied to Mr. Vaughan for a summons
against Messrs. Holland and Sweasy, of Weston's Music-
hall, High Holborn, for performing selections from Barnett's
opera of the "Mountain Sylph," without a theatrical license.
Mr. John Hollingshead, hon. secretary of the Theatrical
Law Amendment Society, proved that selections were
given from the opera in question, with dramatic action,
costume, and scenery, and programmes of the cast of cha-
racters sold in the hall. He paid for admission.
It was stated that the proceedings were not taken in any
hostile spirit, and Mr. Sweasy and Holland had been duly

informed of them. The object was to ascertain the law
and thus facilitate a settlement of the question, so as to,
avoid future litigation.
Mr. Vaughan granted the summons.
Messrs. Holland and Sweasy were not represented.
