CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

Elizabeth hell, aged 40, was indicted for stabbing, cut-
ting, and wounding Maria Jenkinson, with intent to maim
her, on the 2d of September.
Maria Jenkinson-1 am seven years of age, and on the
day in question I was playing in Playhouse-yard, where my
father lives, which is next door to the prisoner. I was whisk-
in; about my pin.before, when the prisoner came out of her
place and snatched a knife from a child, and stabbed me in
the face and afterwards in my shoulder. The prisoner's
children often threw stones at me, but their mother never
scolded them for it, but she threatened to mark me. The
witness was cross-examined, but nothing material was
elicited.

Elizabeth Jenkinson corroborated the evidence of her
sister.

Cross-examined by Mr. DUNBAR—On my sister bleed-
ing, I heard the prisoner say, " My God, I am afraid that I
have cut her eye."
William Dean—l happened to be present when the child
whisked her pin-before in the face of the prisoner, which ap-
peared to me to be done intentionally.
Cross-examined by Mr. DUNBAR—The prisoner appeared
to be very sorry for what she had done.
Four witnesses for the defence proved that the child bad
flapped her pin-before in the prisoner's face, and said " Take
that Ma'am."

Some witnesses gave the prisoner an excellent character. 1,
Mr. Baron GuaNEv summed up the evidence, and
The Jury acquitted the prisoner.
Michael Collins, aged 19, was convicted of felonioy:sly
breaking and entering the dwelling house of Samuel TC'rior,
and stealinc, therefrom a quantity t)l. wearing appar d of the
value of 5/7, the property of the prosecutor.
The Jury found the prisoner Guilty.
William Ingram, aged 43, and Sarah Ingram, his wife,
were indicted for felonimrsly receiving., 82i cwt. of copper,
of the value of 130/. ; twenty-thte"e brass cocks, value 9/.
4s. ; Ninety-two cwt. of lead, value 711. ; thirty-seven cwt.
of mixed metal, value 351. V, s. ; and two pieces of block
tin, value 3/, the property of the Commissioners of Green-
wich Hospital, well 11,1),,,,,ing the same to have been felo-
niously stolen.

Mr. PHILI,rs contended that the prosecutors could
not give evideAcp against the wife, for there was no proof
that she ha ,:t P'archased any of the metal, or that she had
received it
ilthout her husband's privity or knowledge.
After /I,earing the case stated,
Inc', RECORDER observed, there appeared to be no evi-
-Ido r.ce to affect the male prisoner. He, however, thought
I `,,were was a case to go to the Jury against the wife.
Several witnesses were then called, who gave the wife an
excellent character for honesty.
The Jury, after a short consultation, acquitted the pri-
soner.

THE OMNIBUS CONSPIRACY:—The evidence in this case
was resumed this morning at nine o'clock.
After calling several witnesses for the defence,
At half-pagt two Mr. Sergeant BOMPAS commenced his
reply for the prosecution. It was a speech occupying three
hours and a half.

At six o'clock the Common Sergeant adjourned the case
until this day, observing that be wished to read the evi-
dence over.

Mary Jelf, an aged woman, was indicted for uttering, on
the 22d ult., to Mr. Crouch, a counterfeit shilling, and on
the 28th again uttering another.
Mr. Sergeant ARABIN summed up, and the Jury re-
turned a verdict of—Not Guilty.
Richard jelf, the husband of the last prisoner, and
William JeU; his son, were then indicted for having in their
possession six pieces of counterfeit coin, intended to repre-
sent shillings.
Verdict Guilty against both prisoners.
They were sentenced to 18 months' hard labour.

In the course of the morning the Grand Jury entered the
Court, and presented several bills in the usual way.
Mr. Baron GURNEY—Gentlemen, I observe that you
have brought into Court a great number of bills, principally
for misdemeanours and slight offences. If you would turn
your attention to the capital charges it would accelerate the
business, for I understand there are some very heavy cases
which require the presence of the Judges.
The Foreman —We have some capital cases now be-
fore us.—The Jury then retired.
STANYNOUGHT.—On Wednesday the witnesses who were
bound over by Mr. Shutt, the Magistrate of Marylebone,
to give evidence before the Grand Jury against the above
unfortunate individual, attended for that purpose, and were
examined for about 'an hour. On hearing the statements
of the witnesses, the Grand Jury proceeded to discuss the
subject, and remained so engaged for upwards of three
hours, when, we understand, they ignored the bill on the
grounds (as we have been informed) that the prisoner was
insane at the time he committed the fatal act, and also
that be was not actuated by malice aforethought.
A'.-
though the Grand Jury came into Court tbr'.e times ,yes-
terday, they upon none of the occasions presented the bill
ignored. As Mr. Stanynought stands c)%armed also on the
Coroner's inquisition, and as the wittrasses t'bound over by
the Coroner are not obliged to ga I,efore the Grand Jury,
the unfortunate individual will brave to undergo the ordeal
of a public trial.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW-STREET.

Yesterday a case of rather a curious kind occupied the
attention of Mr. Minshull during a great part of the morn-
ing. On Monday last, Sergeant Wilson and policeman
No. 34 of the F division, brought a young Hindoo woman
to the office, followed by a crowd of persons, and stated
that about half an hour before lie found her in the street
surrounded by several people, and having with her on the
pavement a trunk, a bed and furniture, and other luggage.
She could not speak a word of English, but from what he
could ascertain it appeared that she had been brought from
India by a lady named Nash in the capacity of servant, and
that Mrs. Nash having resided some time in Arundel-street,
Strand, and being about to remove to Hunter-street, Bruns-,
wick-square, the Hindoo refused to go with her or to *e.
main any longer in her service, and claimed fifty rtypers
wages, which she (Mrs. Nash) refused to give her, alleg;no.
that she did not owe her more than forty. Her l.agr...e,
upon Mrs. Nash's removal on Monday was brougint .out of
the house, and as she positively refused to go with h.er mis-
tress, it was placed upon the pavement where Wilstin found
her standing by it, when he brought her to this office for
the Magistrate's advice.

Mr. MINSHULL being unable to make her r.nderstand a
word, caused her to be placed in a lodging for the night,
and her things taken care of, and directel that an inter-
preter should be procured, and on tha following days she
again attended, accompanied by a very intelligent police-
man of the F division named Carl, No. 77, who spoke the
Hindostanee with great fluency. In consequences of her
statement Mr. Minshull sent a message to Mrs. Nash, who
attended yesterday, accompanied by a gentleman named
Parberry, residing in Burton-cresdent.
The Hindoo woman (through Carl) then stated that.
was hired by Mrs. Nash at Calcv!..tai to come home -with
her in the ship Abberton as sw:vant, for which she was to
receive 150 rupees. Dur;ng the voyage she, was several
times beaten and ill-trP:ated by Mrs. Nash, as she bad been
since her arrival ir:, this country ; and being determined to
quit her serv;.ce, she demanded a balance of fifty rupees,
which her mistress refused to pay her, and she was found
as the officer described.

Mrs. Nash denied having ever beaten her. She was
hired by Mr. Nash, who was still in India, and was, as she
said, to receive 150 rupees, fifty of which were paid to her
before she embarked, fifty after she was afloat, and ten
which she asked for before landing in England to purchase
a shawl with. She therefore owed her forty rupees only,
which she was willing to pay her, and keep her in her ser-
vice until a passage could be obtained for her to Calcutta,
but she refused to accept of either offer.
Mr. Parberry could assure his Worship, from his per-
sonal knowledge, that Mrs. Nash was incapable of beating
a servant.
The complainant, however, persisted in her story, and
several times cried bitterly,
Mr. MINSIIIILL said unless some act of personal violence
could be proved he had no power, and he scarcely knew
what to do with the poor creature. With respect to the
wages he had no power whatever, and he suggested that
the question should be submitted to the arbitration of the
captain of the ship in which she came here.
Mr. Parberry said Mrs. Nash could have nn objection to
this course.
Mrs. Nash wished to ask the compblinant if she intended
to deny having received the ten rupees to buy a shawl be-
fore she landed_9. and she answered positively in the affir-
mative.

Lit length, at the suggestion of Mr. MiNsituLL, it was
agreed upon that the captain of the Abbcrton should be
written to, to attend here on Saturday next, and Mrs. Nash
might attend or not, as she chose.

That lady and Mr. Parberry then went away.
After their departure, Mr. MINSHULL strongly urged the
complainant to go back to her mistress, and with the kind
and earnest persuasions of Carl, the interpreter, she at
length consented to do so,.but only upon the understanding
that it should be for no longer than her claima could be
settled, and a passage procured for her, a:dtl upon the re-
peated assurance that she should be psetected.
The case excited a good deal ofinterest.

Mrs. Tregynowen, a respectable widow, in deep mourning,
came before the Bench, and in great mental distress de-
scribed the extraordinary disappearance of her son, a boy
nine years of age. He was sent from her residence, N 0.52,
Pratt-street, Camden Town, on Monday last, on an errand
to a friend in town, and returned at three o'clock. He had
executed his,errand, as he always did, in a proper manner,

and she gave him leave to go out to play, and from that
moment she had never seen him, nor could she
gall' the
least intelligence of him. She walked about almost dis-
tracted until two o'clock in the morning, and she had since
made inquiries in all directions, but could obtain no tidings,
of her poor boy. She had been to the Commissioners of
Police, who had kindly caused circulars to be sent to every
division in and round the metropolis, and she had had the
canal near her house dragged, but still nothing could be
ascertained about him.
Mr. MINSHULL—Did he know London well ? gri.
Tregynowen—O yes, Sir, he could go about any where.
Mr. MINSHULL—Was he a tractable boy ? Mrs. Tre•
gynowen—Remarkably good-tempered, Sir, I assure you/
and never disobedient.

Mr. MINSHULL—You say be had executed his errP:ad
properly, and, therefore, I suppose you did not scold him,
but were quite satisfied, and be went out cheer far ? Mrs.
Tregynowen—Quite so, Sir.

I‘l. MiNsHum. and Mr. BALLS
, (")nrarred in saying',
that the disappearance of the child was l-
and assured her tha no pains shows - lost extraGrdinary,
cers to endeavour oftrace him, ~

the Worthy Magistrates, ",:tic . widow made an earnest ara

Yesterday, Mr. Morris, an engineer, residing in tee
Commercial-road, applied to Mr. WALKER, for his advice
and assistance under the following circumstances

jecture what had become of them, but having recollects
