MANSION-HOUSE.-(THIS DAY.)

Tilley Fromised not to offend in future, and stated
his intention of going to his friends at Barnett, and
could not think what induced him to get drunk, without it
was inward insanity.

Tulbot, and the other persons concerned with him in
robbing his fothe•r, the landlord of the Ship Afloat public_
house, in Beer-lane, ware brought up again to doy.
Mr. Talbot stated, that every search Fad he.n made,
but no duplicates of the articles pawned could be found,
they having been destroyed.
Mr. Alderman FARE/MOTHER, in consequence of the
deficiency of the evidence, was obliged to discharge the
pritiners, which he was extremely sorry to do, there being
little doubt of their guilt.
Mr. Talbot said that such had been the conduct of his
son that it was utterly impossible that he could again re-
ceive him into his house ; if he did Ina should soon be
ruined.

Mr. Alderma❑ FAREBROTHER thought he was perfectly
able to get his own livelihood, and advised his father to
give him a few shillings, and if he annoyed him again to
put him into custody.
Francis Harrington and Stewart Dunbar, the former
a rather respectable-looking young man, and the latter
well known at this office, having been convicted of keep-
ing an illicit still, were charged by Mr. James Powell,
of the firm of Thomas and James Powell, of Billiter-street,
with an intention of robbing him of two coats and a
waistcoat.—lt appeared, from the statement of Mr.
Powell, that on Saturday afternoon, while writing in
his office, he beard a noise which attracted his attention,
and made him run to the front door, o❑ doing which he
found the coats and waistcoats lying in the passage. On
going into the street he saw no person with the excep-
tion of the two prisoners, whom be followed, and charged
them with the intention to commit the robbery. Upon
this Herrington immediately dealt him out a com; lete
floorer, which Mr. Powell instantly returned, when Har-
rington finding he had got his snatch in the pugilistic art,
resorted to other means, in which he was assisted by the
other prisoner, and immediately fell to, and bit the prose-
cutor dreadfully in the hand ; ultimately, after a long
struggle, both were secured.
Mr. Joseph Harris, a clerk to Mr. Robson, in Seeth-
ing-lane, stated that he saw Harrington creep on his hands
and knees out of the office of the prosecutor, Dunbar
Waiting at the door to receive any property that might be
obtained.

George Christie proved that the coat., which had for-
merly been near the counting-how.e, were lying at the
door, and that no person connected with the office had re-
moved them.
Both prisoners stoutly denied the charge, Harrington
stating that he was drunk on Saturday, and had not the
slightest recollection of any of the cireumbtances alluded
to by Mr. Powell.
Mr. Alderman FAREBROTIiER committed both to Bride.
well for three months.
A boy in the employ of Messrs. Vincent and Pugh,
wine-merchants, of Rood•lane, was fully committed to
Newgatr, charged with stealing a pint of port-wine and a
pint of gin frotn his employers. Tne prisoner had been
guilty of similar practices before, but had been forgiven.
BOW-STREET.--(r HI S DAY.)

ASSAULT ONTpUE POLICE.
Two fellows, named Tuck and Simpson, were charged
with violently assaulting two of the new police of F divi-
sion, in Holborn, on Saturday night.
It appears that the two defendants were very drunk, and
fighting. The policeme❑ went up to part them, and to
take them to the station-house, when they fell upon and
beat them most unmercifully. Tuck took one of the of-
ficers staves out of his pocket, and belaboured him
over the head, by which it was severely lace-
rated, and whilst on the ground they kicked
them so dreadfully in their lower extremities that they
were incapable of moving for some time. Further assist-
ance being obtained, they were eventually lodged in the
station-house.
- Mr. HALLS said that lie would make an example of
them, for such an unmanly attack he had seldom heard of.
He then ordered Tuck to pay a fine of 40e., and in default
to be committed for two months to the House of Correc-
tion, and his companion to pay 205., or one month's ina-
ptisonment. The defendants, not being able to pay the
fine, were committed accordingly.

HATTON-GARDEN.-(THIS DAY.)

ATTEMPT TO MURDER.

Ann Callaghan, an Irish woman with a very young
child in her arms, was brought before Mr. LAING, charged
With assaulting her husband with intent to murder him.
John Callaghan said he was a porter, and lived in
Feathers-court, Gray's-inn-lane. Yesterday morn*,
about 8 o'clock, he was lying in bed, when he saw the pri-
'ones, his wife, sweeping the room and putting on the fire; he
then fell into another sleep, with the clothes tucked up well
about his throat ; soon after he was awoke by some one
removing them, and found his wife standing over him
with an open razor in her hand; be caught her by the
wrist, when the razor was within two inches of his throat.
She then tried to get it into the other hand, and he roared
out so as to bring assistance. This was the third time she
had attempted the same thing.
John Smith lodged in the same room. Yesterday
morning he was awoke by the screaming of the prosecutor,
and he saw the prisoner standing over the bed with a ra-
zor in her hand, and the prosecutor holding her arm ; he
rose and attempted to take the razor from her, but did not
succeed for more than twenty minutes, and till he was as-
sisted by
Patrick Sheely, who lodged in the adjoining room, and
was alarmed by the screaming of the prosecutor. He
corroborated the statement of the last witness.
The Inspector of Police said, that after the prisoner
had been cautioned, she willingly said she Lad made the
attempt because her husband cohabited with another
woman.

Mr. LAING inquire,' whether she was in her right senses.
The prosecutor said he did not know, but she was
troubled with fits of falling s'ck.
The prosecutor not being in any way cut, the Magis-
trate ordered the prisoner to find bail.

MARLBOROUGH-STEET-(THIS DAY.)

Jane Doyle, a notorious character, was charged with
robbing one of her own countrymen, Paddy Rourke,
of fifteen shillings.
Paddy stated, that he met the prisoner on Saturday
night, and was prevailed upon to accompany her to a bro.
thel, where she very soon contrived to take from his pocket
the remains of the wagts he had an boor or two be-
fore received, amounting to 15s. He afterwards called in
a police constable and gave her into custody.
Constable 52, division C, staters, that as be was taking
her to the station-house, she strenuously denied robbing
~,
; but upon the witness telling her it would be far
better to give up the man's money, she pulled two half-
!'oviiss out of her stockings, and gave them to him, saying
that Was all she bad ; however, another shilling was found
oil her at the station-house.
The prisoner declared, that all the money she had was
given her by Paddy, by way of " compliment."
She was remanded.
Mary Lewis was also remanded on a charge of utter-
ing a counterfeit crown-piece.
