to the house of his wife's father, in Church-street,
Chelsea, where, in anticipation of his marriage, he
had deposited other property, when, to his surprise
and alarm, he told him to be off, or he would run a
knife into him. The object of the present applica-
tion was to obtain a summons against Mr. Dunkley
for the threat, of which he went in great dread, and
a second summons for the unlawful detention of the

property.
Mr. Paynter observed that the case was truly
very singular, and granted the required summonses.

LAMBETH.—AIex. Mons° was charged with
steahng a small glass jar, the property of Messrs•
Batty and , Co., from a standing in the Crystal
Palace ; and also the plated end of a scabbard from

the India Court there:
James Darling, a special constable at the Palace,
deposed that on Saturday evening last, at about
four o'clock, while' on duty in one of the galleries
of the Palace, he saw the prisoner go up to the
stand of Messrs. Batty and Co., take up the empty
glass jar he then produced, and put it into his
pocket. Having passed on some yards, witness
stopped him, and asked him for the jar he had just
taken from the standing of Messrs. Batty. The pri-
soner asked him what he meant, and on repeating
the question, he handed him the jar he then pro-
duced. He then told him he was a constable
belonging to the Palace, and that lie must go with
him to the police station, when the prisoner begged
of him to let him go, and offered him 10s. or a
pound to do so, but he refused and handed him over
to Sergeant Smith, of the police.
Sergeant Smith, 32 P, said that on the prisoner
being given into his charge by the last witness he
searched him, 'and in one of his pockets found the
mounting of a sword scabbard, which he said had
been sent to him from India by a friend. After
-locking the prisoner up he (Sergeant Smith) pro-
ceeded to the Indian Court, and there found that
the mounting found on him had been taken from
the top part of a scabbard. The prisoner gave his
real name and correct address, and from inquiries
he (Smith) had made, he found that his father held
high rank in the army, that the prisoner himself
had been an officer in the 42d, but got married, sold
his commission, and spent the money in Paris,
where he resided for some time. He subsequentlY
got a situation at the Board of Health, which he
lost on the reduction of hands. His friends subse-
quently procured him a situation as letter-carrier
at the Post-office, but this he threw up, and for some
time had been doing nothing. In conclusion, the
sergeant said he had been to the prisoner's resi-
dence, 24, Sidmouth-street, Gray's-inn-road, and
there found his wife and children in a state of
apparent distress.
In reply to the charge the prisoner said he had
visited the Crystal Palace a vast number of times,
and the company's officers or the police to
provethat he had taken anything before. The jar
produced he saw empty, and he thoughtlessly took
it up.
Mr. Elliott observed that there could not be the
slightest doubt the prisoner had stolen the articles.
found on him, and convicted him in a penalty 01
405., or 20 days' imprisonment.

SOUTHWARK.—Francis Case, a journeymr
painter, was charged with committing a ruffiniul
assault on his wife.
The complainant, who had been lame from
her,
infancy, and who exhibited a black eye, said that
she had been married to the prisoner about two
years, and since then unfortunately he had become
acquainted with bad associates, with whom he was
continually drinking. On Sunday night, 'OlO
they were in bed, without the least provocation, he
turned towards her, struck her on the eye and ear'
and a severe blow on the breast. Her screw
brought assistance, when she ran out of the bond
and called in a constable, who took her husball:
into custody. She was most brutally treated
although he knew she was near her confinement
The prisoner denied committing the assault conl"
plainer]. of. He did not strike her in the breast.,_
The wife here exhibited a large bruise on tl
latter, which had evidently been recently inflicted'
The prisoner said that she so aggravated hirnifule
her abuse, that he hardly knew what he did. na
had had a little drop to drink, and what she h°
got was her own fault.
Mr. Burcham told him that he was a savegae
ruffian for striking his wife on the eye, ear, all
breast, well knowing that she was near her confine-
ment ; and after doing so he did not show any e°lli
trition for his brutal conduct towards her, b,lle
seemed to glory in it. Such brutes must
,g' s
unished with the utmost severity of the law, a'
aroning to others. He therefore sentenced hill' to
six months' hard labour in the House of Correetio
