CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

John Thomas Latham, aged 35, was indicted for cutting
and wounding William Henry Floyd, with intent to murder
him.

The prisoner was a publican, residing at Deptford. In
the latter end of August the prosecutor went to his house,
and wanted a pot o(porter, which the prisoner refused to
let him have without the money. The prosecutor subse-
quently wanted the priioner to drink, and on his refusal he
threw some of the beer into his face. The
.prisoner imme-
diately struck the prosecutor in the face with a knife,
which was so -firmly fixed that the surgeon was compelled
to draw it out with a pair of pincers.
The Jury returned a verdict of Acquittal.
Mr. Justice WILLIAMS ordered the prisoner to be de-
tained for the assault.

William Miller, James Cooper, James Divine, and David
Flemming, were indicted for assaulting Mrs. Cape, on the
night of the 19th of September, in Kingsland-road, and
taking from her person a purse containing two sovereigns
and other monies, her property.
The Jury found all the prisoners Guilty.
The Learned Baron, in the course of the trial, observed
that he could not refrain from noticing publicly the great
evil which arose from masters and manufacturers paying
their journeymen on Saturday nights, and t,hat at a late hour.
The consequence was, their families were not able to go to
market until ten or eleven o'clock, which led to half the
highway robberies committed in cities and manufacturing
towns. He trusted for the future that masters would pay
their workmen on the Friday.
George Nicholls, aged 56, was indicted for having killed
and slain David Ingram, Esq., aged 60, a West India
merchant, by driving a cabriolet over-him on the evening
of the Bth instant.

Mr. Justice 'WILLIAMS summed up, and
The itiry-fod clic primmer C..:147,
strong recommendation to mercy.

taking by force and against his will the sum of 2s. 6d. from

Henry Dempsey, aged 40, was indicted for feloniously
forging and tittering a receipt for the payment of 5/., with
intent to defraud Mrs. Sarah Massey.

knowing the same to be forged.
The Grand Jury in the course of the above trial entered
the Court, and presented several bills. '
The Judges left the Court at half-past five o'clock, and

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

WORSHIP_ STREET.

Yesterday John Varney, an apprentice, was placed at the
bar before Mr. GROVE, charged with having occasioned the
death of a young girl, of- the name of Eliza Head, three
years old.

About six o'clock the previous evening the deceased,
Eliza Head, the daughter of a gentleman in the office of
Messrs. Harmer and Co., was in Margaret-street, Hackney-
road, at that part where it is intersected by another street.
She was just crossing the road when Varney, who was in a
cart drawn by two dogs, was entering the street at the rate
of above twelve miles an hour, when in turning the corner
he knocked the child down and ran over her. After the
accident the lad immediately stopped. The child was taken
to her father's, where she shortly after died, the wheels of
the cart having gone over her body.
No. 22 sergeant of police said that these men thought
nothing of going ten miles an hour. They even attempted
to outstrip the velocity of the mails.
The prisoner was remanded until the result of a Co-
roner's inquest was known. _
