pushed him cut, and ran to a window and called for the
police. In a short time after a constable entered the
house, and the complainant related the whole of
the circumstances to Um. On going to the pri-
soner's room, he came out and asked what
was the matter. The constable told him what the pro-
secutrix had charged him with, and he replied that the
whole was a made up story to ruin him. The prosecu,
trix said the prisoner was not courting her, and she
never before had allowed him the slightest liberty.
The police constables connected with the case gave
similar evidence.

In defence the prisoner said the whole story was a
fabrication, the prosecutrix having asserted some time
ago that she intended to do him a serious injury.
The prisoner received a good character.
The jury returned a verdict of not guilty.

NEW COURT.
(Before the Recorder.)
THE ROBBERY AT THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY.

James Blagg, a respectably-dressed young man, agad
21, clerk, was indicted for stealing the sum of
338/. 43. 6J., the property of the Great Northern Rail-
way Company.

Mr. Bodkin appeared for the prosecution, and Air.
Ribton for the prisoner.
The facts of this case appeared in The Sun at the time
the prisoner was under examination at the Clerkenwell
Police-court. It will be recollected that be was
a clerk in the coal department of the Great Northern
Railway Company, and it was his duty to receive the
money brought in in payment for coals. The plan was
to east the gross of money received during the day and
to place it in a safe, of which he kept the key, until it
was delivered up to the prisoner, whose duty it was.to
raceive it. From this depository the sum mentioned in
the indictment had been abstracted, and suspicion
attached to the prisoner.

The trial was proceeding when we went to press.

THE NEW INDIAN PENSIONS.

The pensions granted by the East India Com-
pany during the year ended April 30, 1858, amount
to an annual charge of 11,1401. on the Home Esta-
blishment, of which 8,8171, is on account of
sums payable in this country to the widows,
orphans, and other relatives of officers who have
fallen during the revolt, and 1,0001. on account of
a pension of that amount gtented to Sir A. Wilson,
"in consideration of his skill, sound judgment,

wounded in a doolie, and in danger of falling into
the hands of the enemy, has been awarded a pen-
sion of 701. This lady is a niecs of the late Sir

smallest pension granted during the year. Mrs.
Mason, widow of Capt. Mason, who fell in the disas-
trous defeat of Arrah, receives 701,, and 10/.for each
of her five children. The Cawnpore massacre has
furnished numerous recipients of pensions, as in a
less degree have the outbreaks at Sealcote, Jbansi,
and Bareilly; and the pensions to those bereaved by
murder are more numerous than those conferred
upon the relatives of oili..e. a eh.) have fallen in ae-
tion. Of the latter class the greater number are on
account of casualties at Lucknow. The Cawnpore
list comprises the three children of Major Lindsay,

mother of Assistant-Surgeon Harris. Many
of the children have lost both parents by
the outbreak, and some of theriilhad also brothers
and sisters at Cawnpore. The fate of Lieut.-Col.
Ewart is still doubtful, but he is believed to have
perished, with his wife and infant child, in the
treacherous attack on the bra's, on the 26th of
June. The Jbansi massacre leis added to the list

of Major the Hon. R. R. P. Byng, who fell in
action 'at Alumbagh, in December last, receives
1201., and 20/. for each of her six children, which
doubles the amount payable to her. No dis-
tinction has been made in the preparation of
the Parliamentary paper from which these par-
ticulars aro derived, and which was issued yester-
day, between those why have fallen in action and
the se who were murdered at the commencement of
the revolt. Sir Norman Leslie, who was assassi-
nated by his own men while sitting in his tent, and
Captain Masou, who fell in the ambuscade at Ar-
rah, have their fates recorded aline as "killed by
the mutineers." It is proper to Lobe tl is circum-
stance, l-essa use the same confusion marks 'less!: of
the lists which lave been published of the victims
of the revolt, which lead the public to form exag-
gerated notions of the number of those who have
beer murdered. It is impossible to ascertain, ex-
cept by reference to the memoirs which have been
published, whether a ertain officers men ioned in
-
ibis and other returns as having been killed by the
mutineers were the victims of Sepoy bloodtbisti-
ee,s and revenge or fell in bat t!e. The matter is
of some importance, as aff. cling the estimation to
be formed by the public of the character of the
revolt and the csnduct of the rebels.—Birming-
