wished him out, and ran to a window and called for the I.
police. In a short time after a constable entered the c
house, and the complainant related the whole
the circumstances to him. 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 be 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 returced a verdict of not guilty.

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

James Bing, a respectably-dressed young man, aged
21, clerk, was indicted for stealing the sum of
3381. 44. 6 1., the property of the Great Northern Rail-
way Company.

Mr. Bodkin appeared for the prosecution, aad Mr.
Raton 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 he 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
receive 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 April3o, 1858, amount
to an annual charge of 11,1401. on the Home Esta-
blishment, of which 8,8171. is en account of
sums payable in this country to the widows,
orphan., and other relatives of officers who have
fallen during the revolt, and 1,000/. on account of
a tension of that amount granted to Sir A. Wilson,
"in consideration of his skill, soend judgment,
steady resolution, and gallantry in the operations
wl LI resulted in the storm and et tpture of Delhi,"

wounded in a doolie, and in danger of falling into
the ha' de of the enemy, has been awarded a pen-
sion of 701. This lady is a niece of the late Sir
Henry Halo lock, and the " poor Mary" so often
and pathetically alluded to in his letters to. Lady

memoirs of the hero, by the Rev. W. Brock. Lady

smallest pension granted during the year. Mrs.
Mason, widow of Capt. Mason, who fell in the disas-
trous defeat of Ai rah, receives 701., and 10/.for each

furnished numerous recipients of pensions, as in a
less degree have the outbreaks at Sealcote, Jhansi,
and Bareilly; and the pensions to those bereaved by
murder are more numerous than those conferred
upon the relatives of ofli,•ers who have fit.len in ac-
tion. Of the latter class the greater number are or
account of casualties at Lucknow. The Cawnpore

dren of As-istautsSurgeon Bowling, and . the
mother of Assist an t- Surge o Rends. Many
of the cumin n have lest both parents by
the outbreak, and some of them had also brothers
and sisters at Oawripore. The fate of Lieut.-Col.
Evart is stilt doubtful, but he is b lieved to have
perished, with his wife and infi.nt child, in the
treacherous attack en the hca•s, on the 26th of
The Jhansi massacre his added to the list
only the nam?s of Mrs. Burgess, widow of Captain

Brigadier Sibbald, who receives 251. There is only
one sufferer by the Meerut outbreak oa the list;
viz , the widow of John Peilips, veterinary surgeon
of the 3d Cavalry, who receives 701. The widow
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 Perliameatary paper from which these par-
ticulars are derived, and which was issued yester-
day, iTtween those who have fallen in action and
th, se whit were murdered at the commencement of
the revolt. Sir Norman Leslie, who was assa3,i_
lilted by his own men while sitting in his lent, and
Captain Mason, who felt in the ambuscade at Ar-
r tb, have their fates recorded alike as "killed by
the mutineers." It is proper to note tl is circum-
stance, Localise the same confusion marks most 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 these who have
beet, murdered. It is impossible to atic-rtain, ex-
c pt by reference to the memoirs which have been
Published, whether o xtain officers men ioned in
this aial other returns as having been killed by the
mutineers were the victims of Sepov bloodthisti-
ne:s and revenge or fell in battle. The matter is
of some importance, as affi (sting the estimation to
be formed by the public of the character of the
revolt and the conduct of the rebels.—Birming-
