Begbie—l relow I have got tbe goods frnw
parties; with whom I was in the habit of doing business,
but it was in the ordinary course of trade, and this young
gentleman (Buzzard) pledged them for me.
Alderman Gabriel—Have you got the names of the per-
ties the eoods were obtained from ?
Bull—No, sir.
. . . . . _

Alderman Gabriel—lt is strange that the Edinburgh
police should have furnished so little information as to the
nature of the charge, but it is quite clear the right men are
in custody. . . . .

The prisoners not being able to find any respectable per-
son to be bail for them in their present emergency, they
were remanded until Tuesday (this day), in the hope that
the Edinburgh police would coudescena to be more explicit
in their next communication.

WEST3IINSTER. A notorious young pickpocket,
William Sullivan, alias Samuel Sullivan, aged 15, the
son of a well known begging letter impo-tor, was charged
before Mr.'Paynter with attempting to pick pockets in Vic-
toria-street.

Web!), an (lacer of the Mendicity Society, said that be-
tween two and three o'clock on Sunday afternoon he was
in Victoria-street, Westminster, when he observed the
prisoner, who was in the company of another boy, making
attempts to pick the pockets of persons, some of whom were
on the way to attend Divine worship in Westminster Abbey.
He saw the prisoner take a handkerchief out of a gentle.
man's pocket, which seemed not to please him, when he put
it back again. He then went up to another gentleman,
from whose pocket lie took a red silk handkerchief, which
he deliberately tied round his neck. After that he and the
other boy who was with him sot down on the pavement. He
laid it open, and found it all right, upon which he was about
to put it in his pocket, when a man, who saw what the
prisoner had done, gave him a slap on the side of his face,
and took the handkerchief away.
Mr. Paynter—Did he try to take any other handkerchiefs?
Witness—He did. When he recognised me, and got
into Orchard-street with his companions, I did not like to
follow him there till I got the assistance of a police consta-
ble, knowing what desperate cl.taracters frequented the
street. I cot police-constable Serle to accompany me.
We succeeded in apprehending the prisoner. The other boy
made his escape, as I was tripped up by some man, and I
was in consequence much injured.
Mr. Paynter—ls the prisoner known ?
Webb—Yes, sir. He has only been out of prison about
six months.

Dennis, the gaoler, said that since then he had been twice
at that Court.

The pris9ner was sent for three months to the House of
Correction.

MARLBOROUGH STREET.—CURIOUS CASE—Thos.
Evans, a private in the Grenadier Guards, was brought
before Mr. [leaden charged with stealing a suit of clothes
under the following strange circumstances :
It appeared that a person named Pethers was on Saturday
charged with having unlawful possession of a suit of soldier's
clothes. The accused said he was staying at No. 9, Argyll-
street, and, having gone out for a walk, on his return home
he found that a burglary had been committed, that a suit of
his clothes had been stolen, and the regimentals left in the
place of his own garments. As it was suspected that the
defendant might possibly have aided a soldier to desert, Mr.
Bingham, the sitting magistrate, directed the defendant to
enter into his own recognisance to appear when called upon.
Yesterday the prisoner Evans was placed at the bar,
charged with attempting to commit a burglary at Padding-
ton. When the prisoner was taken into custody on Sunday
night he voluntarily stated that the clothes he then had on
were the produce of a burglary he had committed in Argyll-
street, and that he bad left his own regimentals at the
house. On making further inquiry it turned out tat the
soldier had deserted from the barracks—that he bad broken
into the house in Argyll-street, and had stolen the clothes
and left his regimentals in the house.
The accused, Pethers, was of course discharged.
The prisoner Evans having pleaded guilty, was sentenced
by Mr. Beadon to six months' imprisonment.
CHARGE AGAINST A CONSTABLE.—PoIice-constable
Taylor, C 89, was charged with appropriating a sovereign,
given to him by a prisoner in the Vine-street station, for the
purpose of procuring- bail.
A person named Leveston, of 5, Rochester-row, photo-
graphist, was brought to Vine-street station in a state of in-
toxication. He was locked up in a cell, and when he came
somewhat to himself he gave a sovereign to the accused
constable, who acted as gaoler on that occasion. According
to the complainant's statement, the constable did not pro-
cure bail, but denied having received the sovereign. The
complainant was taken to the police court and fined 55.,
having previously obtained the bail of his landlord.
The complainant, Leveston, having made his complaint,
the case was sent to this court to be investigated. The com-
plainant repeated that he did give the police-constable a
sovereign to get bail with, and that he was able to call as
wliness a woman who was locked up.with him in the same
cell.

Mr. Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, cross-examined
the complainant and elicited that complainant had been in
collision with the police before, and that he bad paid the
woman's fine.

A woman named Evans said she was taken to the station-
house, she supposed for being drunk, on Thursday night.
A man was put into the same cell with her. She complained
of the circumstance, but no notice was taken for some
time. At last the man, who was the complainant, was
removed to another cell. She heard the complainant say to
the police-constable at the bar, " Here is a sovereign ; go
for my bail." The complainant paid her fine as well as his
own at the police court. .

On cross-examination the witness made it appear that
the transaction took place in a different cell to that men-
tioned by the complainant.
Mr. Beadon said there were contradictions in the case
without doubt. The question he had to ask himself was,
what would a jury say to the evidence? Being of opinion
that a jury would not credit it, he felt bound to dismiss the
charge. At the same time, he must say it was clear that the
irregularity of placing men and women in the same cell had
been committed, but that was a matter for the consideration
of the Police Commissioners.

WORSHIP-STREET.--AN IMPUDENT ROBBERY.—
A known thief, who gave his name Thomas Brown, was
placed at the bar before Mr. D'Eyncourt upon a charge of
robbing. a gentleman of his watch.

Mr. Evans, the prosecutor, said that, In the forenoon, he
was in the act of ringing the bell at a gentleman's house
in the Kingsland-road, when the prisoner came, up and in-
qurren , but, haora be had
time to speak, snatched his watch from his pocket, and snap-
ping it away from the guard-chain, ran oil with it.
A witness named Miall stated that he saw the 'prisoner
run across the road and through the passage of a public-
house, where a man laid hold of him • but another man then
came up and took him away from the first, and the witness
distinctly saw him hand a watch to the second man, and
then run off again.
_ _

Policeman 218 G saw the prisoner running and stopped
him, but was induced to relinquish his hold of him fur a
moment until a man came up and explained the matter to
him, when lie again ran after and secured the prisoner.
The prisoner was remanded.

MARYIEBONE. —THE MATHEMATICIAN AGAIN
DISTURBED.—Marco Maccarini, an Italian, was brought
before jr.b Long, charged by Mr. Charles Babbage, the
well-known mathematician, residing at No. 1, Dorset-
street, Portman-square, with creating an annoyance to him
on Saturday eveuinz last by playing an organ in front of
his dwelling, and refusing to desist when desired to do so.
The case was proved by the evidence of complainant and
Ayling, 73 D.
The prisoner was fined 10s., or, in default of payment,
seven days in the House of Correction.
DOG-STEALING.--A middle-aged man, who gave his
name Edward James, urea placed at the bar, charged with
having stolen a valuable Newfoundland dog, belonging to
Mr. Armour, an upholsterer, residing at 20, George-street,

Euston-square.
Mr. Buckley, 10, Crawley-street, Oakley-square, gave
evidence which went to show that on. Saturday night last,
between 9 and 10 o'clock, as he was passing down the
Hampstead-road, be saw the prisoner leading a dog which
had round its neck a cord, and on witness looking intently
at it, knowing it to be prosecutor's, he let go the cord,
and the animal, upon being called by him (wit-
ness) ran up to him. Prisoner was questioned as to
how he became possessed of the dog, when he denied all
knowledge of it ; and on witness asking biro where he lived,
he replied at 14, Wellington-street. He objected to let
him (witmes,) accompany him thither, in order that it
might be ascertained whether his statement was true or
false, and at length admitted that be had given a wrong
address, adding, that if he had improperly taken the dog he
was sorry for it, and was willing to go clown upon lii knee:
and beg pardon if allowed to go away. Witness took him
to the prosecutor, by whom he was given into custody.
The dog was produced by the officer, Madgett, 83 S, and
identified by the prosecutor as being his property. On
Saturday evening be allowed it to run out of doors, as ke
frequently did for a short time.
Sergeant Potter, 16 D, said that the prisoner was a well-
known associate of a gang of dog-stealers, many of whom
had been convicted at the different police-courts.
The prisoner's defence was that be saw the dog running,
and, thinking it had strayed, be laid hold of the string.which
it was dragging along the road. As soon as the gentleman
called to the animal he let it go.
Mr. Long, considering that it was a clear case of stealing,
and one which called for severe punishment, committed the
prisoner to hard labour in the House of Correction for six
months.
CHARGE AGAINST A TRADESMAN FOR AN ASSAULT
WITH A HATCHET.— Wm. Wood, an eating-house
keeper, in Blandford-street, Manchester-square, was charged
with aQsaulting and wounding a boy named James Moore,
aged 14, with a hatchet.

Mr. Keene attended for defendant.
Complainant, who had round his head a handkerchief,
and upon whose shire there was much bland, deposed that.
on the same morning he passed defendant's shop, when with
the handle of a bricklayer's implement which he had in his
hand he struck at some carrots which were on the outside of
the premises, and knocked one off from a bundle. Defen-
dant then ran out and struck him on the head with
a chopper. He bled a great deal.
Two witnesses, named Mortimer and Scott, said that the
blow was given with the flat part of the chopper, and the
edge of it touched the back of the head, and a third witness
swore that it was a distinct chop at complainant, and with
the edge of the implement downwards.
Mr. Keene said that the wound, which was but a slight
one, was accidental ; the boy was struck on the back, and
the edge of the chopper unfortunately hurt his neck. lie
called

George Bryant,who said he saw one or two carrots knocked
down, and the defendant then gave complainant " a slight
tap" with the chopper.
The father of complainant refused to listen to Mr. Keene's
proposition for compensation being made for what injury
had been unintentionally caused.
Defendant was fined D.

CLEBKENWELL.--BARING BURGLARY. -- Genrge
Peek, '?7, and Henry Burrows, 20, the fortner.a labourer
and the latter a sailor, both of whom gave false addresses,
were placed at the bar before Mr. Tyrwhitt, charged with
burglariouSly breaking and entering the dwelling-house of
Mrs. Mary Warren, of 14, Stonefield-street, Islington, and
stealing a great quantity of articles, her property.
The prosecutrix stated that, on Saturday night last, site
went to bed about 12 o'clock, having previously fastened the.
la'ack door and windows. On Sunday morning, shortly before
six o'clock, she went down stairs and was much surprised to
find the whole of the place strewn with articles of wearing
apparel, her boxes broken -open, and the two prisoners
engaged packing up the goods. She ran upstairs and gave
an alarm, when the policeman on duty, Siret ton, 200 N, see-
ing the prisoners come out of the house, followed them, and ,
found a great deal of property wrapped arouad their bodies.
The prisoners having been locked up, Sergeant Stallan,
34 N,.went back to the house, and found that an entry had
been made by forcing the bolt off the back door. Both
prisoners.were known to the police as bad characters.
The-prisoners said they did not wish to say anything in

answer to the charge, an/ 'they were fully commiltul to
Newgate for trial.

POLICE INTERFERENCE WITH THE OMNIBUSES.—
A driver in the employ of the London General Omnibus
Cow any was summoned bell tre Mr. Tyrwhitt at the instance
of the police, for furious drivt
Mr. Beard, solicitor, appet-,red for the defence.
Police-constable Hopper, ',le° N, said he was on duty in
the Kine;sland-road, bet• Neel t Leigh-street and Johnson-
street, when he saw the defendant driving three horses in
an omnibus at a furious rate. He got into the middle of the
road and held up his hands, to stop him. When the defend-
ant came hack from town be asked him to forgive him, but
he said he could not even if it was his ow❑ brother.
In answer to Mr. Beard, the constable stated that he was
not put specially on that dr,•ty, nor did lie have six cases to
any other constable's one. After he went into the road
and cautioned the defendamt, he went and had a glass of old
ale with a person named Dawson.
Mr. Beard said it was imp risible for there to have been
any furious driving, for the omnibus the defendant was
driving was drawn by thme horses, and was a ponderous
machine. He called se ye.ral respectable witnesses, who
swore positively that the dt tte.ndant was not driving furiously
at the time stated.
Mr. Tyrwhitt dismissed The summons.

A CANNIBAL.—Bridg et Shea, a prostitute, who has
been several times in gusto dy for violent assaults, was com-
mitted for trial fur assault We^ police-constable Towes, 185
S, scratching his face, bitin,g the whole of the flesh off one
of his knuckles, and also bts ine him in the thigh.
GROSS BRUTALITY Ti) A DONKEY.— Thomas Hill, a
rough-looking fellow, a labourer, of Paddington, was
charged at the instance o f Mr. W. Love, the chief constable
of the Royal Society for t be Prevention of Cruelty to Ani-
mals, with the following brutal treatment to a donkey :
Smith and Grant, two ot7the Royal Society's officers, stated
that they were at the Ne -w Cattle Market, where they saw
the prisoner driving a donkey. The prisoner had a long
thick cudgel, similar to those used for beating carpets, with
which he was tzlabotAring the poor animal in a shameful
manner across the back" and rib 3. This conduct was kept
up fur a considerable the donkey being hardly able to
keep on its legs during the infliction of the blows. They
(the officers) remonstrated with the prisoner, *and finding
that to have no effect they took him into custody. Ou
examining the donkey they found its sides and back covered
with wheals.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said that a big fellow like the prisoner
ought to have known better, and ought to be ashamed of
himself fft such conduct. He would now have to pay a
fine of 205., or go to prison for 10 days, with hard labour;
and if he were ever brought up aga'n on such a charge he
s!ic uld eommit him to prieon, without the option of paying
a fine.

SOUTHWARK:ABSCONDING FROM THE PIIILAN.
TIIROPIC REFORMATORY AT RED-HILL. - Henry
Griffin, a sharp looking lad, 15 years of age, a convicted
thief, was brought before Mr. Combe, charged with un-
lawfully absconding from the Philanthropic Reformatory
School at Red-hill, near Reigate, while under confinement

,
there, by direction of Sir George Grey, her Majesty's late
Secretary of State. This was a case of some importance, it
being the second time that the prisoner had absconded from
the same institution.
Mr. Rogers, the Secretary to the Philanthropic Society,
attended to prosecute, and Mr. Solomon appeared for the
prisoner.
Mr. Rogers, on being sworn, stated that in June, 1855,
the prisoner was tried at the Westminster sessions for felony,
and sentenced to two months in the House of Correction,
and afterwards to suffer two years' further imprisonment, or
enter the Philanthropic Institution conditionally that lie
remained there subject to the rules, and until he was duly
discharged therefrom.
Mr. Combe wished to know what were the regulations of
the institution.

Mr. Rogers replied that the lads received by warrant from
the Secretary of State, which bore her Majesty's pardon
on condition of their remaining in the institution, were
bound by the Ist and 2d Vic„ c. 82, sec.ll, to remain there
until they were discharged by the institution. If honest
employment was found for them they were either bound
apprentices or placed with good masters. They could not
leave without.

Mr. Combe asked who discharged them.
Mr. Rogers replied that the committee did that. The
prisoner was never discharged, and, in fact, this was the
second time he absconded from the institution at Red-hill.
On the sth of July last the prisoner's mother came to see
him at the latter place, and on her making an application
the lad was allowed to quit the institution with her for
three hours. He, however, did not return, and a few days
afterwards a letter was received from the mother stating
that his uncle had persuaded him not to return. He did
not do so, and nothing further was heard of him until he
was taken into custody on Sunday night by a constable of
the H division.

Mr. Solomon thought he ought to have proof of the rules
and regulations of the Philanthropic Institution to show
that they had power to detain the boy.
Mr. Combe said that was not required. He was charged
with absconding from the institution after being sent there
by a warrant from the Secretary of State with her Majesty's
conditional pardon, and not for disobeying the rules. Her
Majesty's pardon, on condition that he remained in the
Philanthropic School two years from the 31st of July, 185.5,
or until he was duly discharged from there, he held in his
hands, bearing her Majesty's signature. He considered
that quite sufficient for him to deal with.
Mr. Solomon urged his worship to consider the hardship
that it would be if it should go forth to the public that the
boys fn the Philanthropic. Institution were doomed to per-
petual imprisonment there, unless the committee liked to
discharge them.
Mr. Combe told him that was the law. This institution,
he understood, was one of the first and one of the best in the
kingdom, and the law must be put In force against any of
the class who came under its benevolent protection who
transgressed. The case was as clear as possible against the
prisoner, and he must be sentenced to three months' hard
labour in the House of Correction at Wandsworth ; at the
expiration thereof the Philanthropic Society would claim
him, and be had better quietly conform to the laws.
ATTEMPTED SUICIDE AND SEDUCTION.—Mary Ann
Thomson, a young woman, whose parents are said to be
respectable, was brought before Mr. Combe, charged with
attempting to commit suicide at Blackfriars-bridge.
Police-constable 197 L said that about 10 o'clock on
Saturday night he was on duty in the 13Iackfriars-road,
when a lad came running up to him and told him that a
female bad attempted to jump off Blackfriars•bridge. He
immediately proceeded there and saw the prisoner struggling
with a man in one of the recesses, who told him that she
was climbing over the parapet to jump into the river when
he eei.o,l hold of her clothes, and with great difficulty suc-
ceeded in pulling her back. bile was Withuut her bonnet,
and she told witness that it had been her intention to com-
mit suicide, and he then toot her into custody. She cried
-very much, and told him tlnst her father had turned her
adrift because she had the misfortune to have an illegitimate
child, and that was the reason she had meditated suicide.
The prisoner, who stated her age to be 30, said it was
quite true what she had told the constable, but now she
was very sorry, and would never repeat the attempt.
Mr. Combe asked whether anything was known of her
friends ? The constable replied that her father kept an
ironmonger's shop at Islington, and was in comfortable cir-
cumstances, hut he tinned her adrift and would not support
her. _

The prisoner said that she did net want him to support
her. All she requested of her father was a little clothing to
enable her to go into service.
Mr. Combs asked her where she had lately lived ?
She replied, with a respectable hard-working female in
the Barnsbury-road, and she left there on Saturday morn-
ing to look after a situation in Nelson-square, but she was
disappointed.

Mr. Combe severely lectured her as to her conduct, and
discharged her on her promising to return to her friend in
the Barnsbury-road.

LAMBETH—SAVAGE ASSAULT—BITING OFF A
MAN'S NOSE.—David Sullivan, an Irish labourer, was
charged before Mr. Elliott with the commission of a very
savage assault on the person of Laurance Camidge, a
countryman of his, and biting off a large portion of his nose.
From the evidence adduced in the case it appeared that
the prisoner and the injured man had been good friends up
to Saturday night last, when a drunken quarrel took place,
and the encounter that followed was described to be more
like that of savage beasts than human beings. The com-
plainant in the case was in so dangerous a state from the
effects of the injuries he received as not to be able to attend,
but the following medical certificate was put in and read
by the magistrate :
This is to certify that I have examined Laurance Ca-
midge, and find that a portion of his nose is destroyed,
together with contusions of the head and body, the result
of ill treatment. • He is confined to bed and incapable of
being removed for the present.
" August 16, 18.58. T. W. HOOPER, Surgeon."
The prisoner, in defence, said CatniCge coil.mcnecd the
fight, and was remanded for a week.
CHARGE OF RAPE.—SCANDALOUS PROFLIGACY.-
211 r. George Sarnton, of 18, Red Cross street, Borough,
builder, was placed at thei bar on a charge of violating the
person of Emma Lydia Willett, egret 18, shopwoman to
Messrs. Clerk and Vines, confectioners, Queen's-row, New-
ington-butts. _ _

The proceedings in the cue were lengthy, bnt the follow-
ing are the main facts :—The prisoner, with two of his work-
men, were engaged in making some repairs at the house of
the employers of the prosecutrix, and, according to their
own representation, all had kissed and taken indecent liber-
ties with her. On Saturday afternoon she (the prosecutrix)
went up stairs to look for a gas-lamp ; and the prisoner
having told her it was in an upper room she went there.
She was followed by the prisoner, and he then committed
the capital offence on her. The prosecutrix swore she called
out as loud as she could and made every resistance, but the
prisoner by much force effected his purpose.
Mr. Elliott highly reprobated the disgraceful conduct of
the prisoner and his two men, and remanded the former
until Wednesday, when, he said, he should send him before
a jury.

THAMES.—A VIOLENT ASSAULT.—EIIen Crawley,
an Irish woman, aged 50, was brought before Mr. Selfe,
charged with assaulting and wounding John Foy, a coal-
whipper, d
enveloped
con-
dition. winhohoasppipteaalrbeadndinagecso,uratndwiintha vheisr
It appeared that both parties lived in the same house, in
an Irishcolony called China-court, St. George-in-the-
East, and that a quarrel had taken place between the pri-
soner, Mrs. Foy, and another, and the complainant, an in-
dustrious and peaceable old man, went among them to make
peace, when the prisoner took up a heavy iron hammer
and made a blow at Foy, who caught it in his hand. He
then closed with the woman who, however, managed to
knock him down, and then struck him several blows on the
bead with the hammer and two on the side. The complain..
ant was rendered senseless by the blows, his head was cut
open, and he lost a large quantity of blood. He was re-
moved to the London Hospital, and his wounds were dressed.
He is likely to be an out-patient of the institution for some
time.
The prisoner made a long and impassioned harangue to
the magistrate and said she had for many years worked
bard and supported her fatherless children, and that her
character for industry and sobriety was known, to Inspector
Allison of the K division. and every person in court.
Mr. Selfe--I have nothing to do with your ten children.
You have spoken about everything but the assault.
The prisoner denied having laid hand or foot upon her
countryman.
Mr. Selfe--That is an equivocation. You laid the hemmer
uti6n his head and body in a most savpge manner. It was
God's mercy the poor man was not killed. I s',:ould be
doing wrong if I did'not inflict a very severe punishment
upon you. I floe you £5, and in default of payment, two
months' imprisonment. You are liable to three years' im-
prisonment for this atrocious assault.
The prisoner was committed.

WARNING TO TIPPLING LOVERS.—One night in
the beginning of the present week, as a gentleman was
wending his way home from this place at a rather late
hour, and when within little more than a stone-cast of his
own house, he was not a little startled to hear groans pro-
ceeding from a ditch on the opposite side of the road to
that on which he was walking. For some time he stocd
conjecturing whether they proceeded from a human being
or not; but no sooner were they repeated than, screwing
up his courage, he approached the ditch, and was shocked
to find a respectably dressed young man lying, his heels
fully four feet higher than his body, intoxicated. With
difficulty he succeeded in raising the young unfortunate
to his feet, but then came the puzzle, what was he to
do with him? He was unable to walk to Alloa, wihther
he was bound, and the "good Samaritan" could
not think
of allowing him to lie upon the roadside, he therefore
resolved to take him to his own house, and give biia
such a bed as he could spare. On reaching the house,
all the inmates being sound asleep, he put him in a
straw shed, and shutting the door behind him retired for
the night. At an early hour next morning the kind-
hearted landlord (hearing rather an unusual noise im-
mediately in front of his bedroom) rose, and to his amaze-
ment saw his domestic servant chasing with a large stick
the very person he, on the previous night, had taken
from the roadside. On coming down stairs, be met Jenny,
who, in reply to his interrogatories, stated that he was her
sweetheart, that he had courted her for about 18 months,
and that, though he had often promised to marry her, be
en the last two or three occasions had come intoxicated to
see her, consequently she had taken a distaste to him.
Jenny's master commended her highly for her conduct.
Yet, notwithstanding nil that has occurred, we understand
that there is every likelihood that the two will be shortly
united in the bonds of wedlock—he, the " lovyer," having
joined the teetotal society.—Stirling Journal.
