Prisoner—l am not one of that character.
The mother, an elegantly drested female, who was among
the crowd in court, came forward and said that the prisoner
was her daughter.
Mr. Paynter—How does she get her living ?
Mother—She has no employment, sir.
Mr. Paynter—You hear what sort of company she was in
last night !
Mother—Yea, sir ; she was returning home from some
friends.
The constable said that she was spoken to by a policeman
before he spoke to her.
Mr. Paynter—Alt ! she ia on the road to ruin.
The prisoner was fined ss. The fine was paid.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.— ROBBERY AT BUR-
TON'S, OXFORD-STREET.—John Ha zlcwood, shopman
and clerk, in the employ of Mr. Burton, the large iron-
monger and hardware manufacturer of Oxford-street, was
charged with stealing a quantity of 'chintz prints, and
various other articles the property of his employer.
The evidence showed that property of various descriptions
was continually being missed fi otn the warehouse, and sus-
picion alighted upon the prisoner, who had been in the em
and
-
ploy about 12 months. A. watch was set by the police,
on the prisoner's lodgings in Harwood-street, Hampstead-
road, being searched, a considerable amount of the property
was found and identified. Amongst other things, the finely
ing of a suit of regimentals at prisoner's lortgings led to the
discovery that he was also a deserter from the 15th Hu shad
ars.
There was another case against the prisoner, where he
been in a precious service in the City, and which he had
obtained by a false character.

WORSHIP-STREET.—TIIE SAIL° R HORSE-STEALER.
—John Brown, a sailer who had been several week
final
s in
custody, was brought 'before Mr. Hammill, for
examination, upon two cl.arges of horse-stealing.
In the first case it appeared that the prisoner,
who had on
his cap the name of the Royal Albert, and had just the look
of a rollicking ter
ju t open for a spree, went to the
of a horse-keeper named Jones, at Blackheath, and . abLs
horse for an hones ride in the 'neiAihnorhond ;
and havingpaid his ls. 64. for the use of it, he mounted, remarking,
st
that, although he could steer a ship very well, he did not
know how he could steer a horse, and then rode off, but
never returned, and afterwards sold the horse at Smithfield.
In the other case he drove with a horse and cart to Cam-
bridge-heath, and asked Mr. Coornhes, a tradesman there,
to put them up for him. In the course of conversation he
stated that he had bought them in St. Martin's-lane for £3:5,
but offered to sell them for £l5, as he must be off to sea in
a few days, and wanted the ready money. Mr. Coombes
went with him to St. Martin's-lane, to make inquiry,
and then gave him into custody on suspicion of having stolen
them. In the result it was proved that at a beer-shop at
Turnham-green, where the prisoner was boasting of his war-
like deeds in the Crimean war, for which, he said, he had a
medal and two clasps, he expressed a wish for the use of a
horse and cart to fetch hit luggage from the 'Waterloo Rail-

THE DEAD IN ST. MARTIN'S CEMETERY.--Mr. Ben-

churchwardens of the parish of St. Martin's-In-the-Fields,
and George Lawrence, the sexton at tie S. Martin's
Cemetery, Pratt-street, Camden-town, appeared before Mr.
Tyrwhitt in answer to a summons taken out at the instance
of the authorities of the parish of St. Pancras, which charged
them " with unlawfully and improperly removing certain

Mr. Cook asked Mr. Dangerfield if lie would give an
undertaking not to touch anything until November, when
the courts meet, when he would apply for an injunction ?
He had abundance of evidence to prove that the excavations
now going on were a perfect nuisance, and that the coffins
were lying about the ground like the bars of a gridiron.
Mr. Dangerfield would give no such undertaking, but
would be prepared to meet Mr. Cook in the Ccurt et
Chancery.
Mr. Tyrwhitt adjourned the further hearing of the case
until Friday, the sth of November, Mr. Dangerfield con-
senting to have an independent person to look after the
work:now going on.
The case was then adjourned, Mr. Latchford remarking
that tbe.bones that had been found were no doubt those that
had been removed by the Government at the time of the
Charing-cross improvements.
UTTERING FORGED CHEQUES. A sickly -looking
young man of the name of Joseph May, alias Lazorance,
a person well known at this court, was charged on remand
with feloniously forging and uttering a Unity Bank cheque
for the value of £l9 Os. 6d., to Mr. Brooks, auctioneer, of
Piccadilly, with intent to defraud.
Mr. Crawford, from the office of Mr. Wontner, appeared
for the prosecution ; and Mr. Thomas Wakeling, o

SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—An accident occurred on
Thursday, under singular circumstances, upon the tramroad
of the Tredegar Iron Company, Monmouthshire. An engine,
tender, and three trucks were passing down the line, under
the care of Matthew .lanes, a man named Abraham Richards
being en the tender, together with a woman, Mary
L'Uti when roar Argoed the tire of one of the wheels
belonging to the tender came ell', and the whole train
ran over the embankment, and relied to the bottom.
The engine driver had barely time to jump off, but
the woman and Richards were precipitated with the trucks.
Richards was severely crushed and torn, and died shortly
after. Mary Lloyd was picked up from beneath one of the
trams dreadfully mangled, the adjacent ground being satu-
rated with her blood ; site was quite dead. At the inquest,
held before Mr. Ashwin, evidence was given that the tire
was constructed of good iron, and that the wheels were in
order upon the starting of the train. The verdict accord-
ingly returned was one of accidental death. Several fatal
accidents have at times taken place upon the line.
ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, GRAY'S-INN-ROAD.—The
number of patients relieved at this hospital during the week
ending Aug. 28, 1858, was 2,465, of which 775 were new
cases.

SOCIETY'S SHOW.

The seventeenth annual meeting of this flourishing
society was held at Sunderland on Thursday under most
favourable circumstances. The weather was all that could

be do fired. The show yard was crowded throughout the
day. Amongst the company was a large sprinkling of
ladies,, whose attention was equally divided between agri-

culture and horticulture, the Sunderland Horticultural
Society having taken advantage of the day to hold their
show, which took place in the same field.
The show was not so good as at the two last exhibitions at
Stockton or Durham, but in point of quality it was not to be
surpassed. The Challenge Cup, value 100 guineas, "for
the best short-horned breeding animal of either sex, to be-
come the property of the person who shall win it thrice, was
won by Mr. Booth of Warlaby, with his two-year-old heifer,
" Queen of May," was again awarded to him for his
four-!,ear-old cow "Nectarine Blossom," a splendid animal,
which obtained the first prize at the recent meeting of the
Royal Agricultural Society at Chester, and also at the
Yorkshire show at Northallerton. The only other animals
which the judges deemed worthy to compete for this prize
were " Queen Mab," a four years' heifer in calf, and a one
year old heifer named " Queen of the Isles," both belonging
to Mr. Booth. Considerable difficulty was experienced as
to whether the prize ought to be given to "Queen Mab"
or " Nectarine Blossom," and Mr. W. Wetherell was called
in as a referee, and the prize was ultimately awarded to the
latter, although a strong feeling was entertained by many
that the judges in discarding " Queen of the Isles" had ex-
cluded the best animal in the yard—and one of the finest
shorthorns in England. " Queen Mab" obtained the second
prize fur shorthorns at Northallerton, and " Queen of the Isles"
was first in her class at the same show ; in addition to which
she received the special prize of £2O as the best animal in
the yard. She also gained the first prize at the last show
of the Royal Agricultural Society. The prize in class 1,
for the best bull of any age, was won by " Statesman," a
splendid animal, the property. of Mr. Wm. Wetherell, of
Aldbrougb. In this ciass also the judges experienced con-
siderable difficulty in deciding as to the best animal, the
competition was so good. " Statesman" won the first
prize " for the best bull in England" at Grantham, on the
'26th July, and was second at Northallerton. eis but
two years and nine months old, and the bull which beat
him at Not thallerton was double his age. In class 3, for
the best cow in calf or in milk, the prize was awarded to
" Nectarine Blossom." In this class Mr. Wetherell competed
with his heifer, "Moss Rose," which gained the second
prize at the recent Yorkshire show, was second at York
last year, and gained the first prize at Middlesbro' and
Barnardcastle. In class 4, for the best heifer in calf, Mr.
Wetherell's " Ayrshire Rose," beat Mr. Booth's " Queen
Mab," which was awarded the second prize; and for the
best bull calf, under 12 months old, the prize was given to
Mr. Booth's " Sir James," a fine animal, which was shown
for the first time. The whole of these animals were consi-
dered perfect in all the parts which constitute a first-class
shorthorn ; in fact, Mr. Booth is sufficiently famed as
a breeder to deter parties from competing against him.
And we might here refer to a suggestion we have heard as
to the alteration of the time of holding the show, and so in-
creasing the competition. Coming, as the Durham show
now does, after the Royal, the Northumberland, and York-
shire shows, the fact is that the successful animals at these
and other exhibitions are entered at it (the prizes being
equal to any other show), and the beaten animals, as a mat-
ter of course, have no inducement to come to a contest
where the resalt is almost certain to be against them. We
throw out the suggestion for what it is worth, having
heard it more than once expressed by parties experienced in
these matters.
The show of horses was good, both in respect to num-
bers and quality. In class 22, for the best cart mare, the
prize was awarded to a mare, 14 years old, belonging to
John Bowes and partners, Marley-hill ; the animal
which gained a similar prize at the Hexham show. In the
same class was shown a celebrated old mare, " Jolly,"
aged 22, belonging to Mr. Atkinson, of Peepy, which
for many years has carried off the prizes at all the
shows in the north at which she has competed. Ad-
vancing age begins to tell upon her, and she was beaten by.
Messrs. Bowes' mare for the first time, at Hexham, a few
weeks ago. It is to be regretted that she was allowed to
compete again after coming off victorious in so many con-
tests, it affords, however, another illustration of the fable of
the pitcher and the well. The prize for the best three-year-
old colt or filly was given to a filly by Emperor, the property
of Mr. Coulson, of Burnigill, the secretary of the society,
beating an excellent filly shown by Mr. N. Clarke, which
has competed six times and won four premiums. A little
Shetland pony, the property of Sir Hedworth Williamson,
was shown as extra stock, and received the commendation
of the judges. We ought not to omit mention that Mr. H.
Marshall, of this city, exhibited a fine Alderney bull as extra
stock.
The pigs and sheep were not numerous, but the quality
of both was good. The show of poultry was likewise small,
and much inferior to what we have seen at previous exhibi-
lons of this society.—Durham County Chronicle.
