ANOTHER ACCIDENT WITH THE HARROW STEAM.
COAClL—Yesterday morning, Mr. Proudfoot, of
89, Wardour-street, Soho, came before Mr. RAW-
LINSON, the Sitting Magistrate, and requested him to
grant a summons against the proprietors of the steam-
coach running from London to Harrow.

Mr. Proud-foot, as he was proceeding along the
Harrow-road on the previous evening, accompanied
by his wife, in a pony-chaise, perceived the steam-
carriage coming along at a most furious rate. Ap-
plicant immediately drew his chaise up as near a,
possible to the side of the road, to avoid any ace -
dent, and got out and held the reins of his pony, am
he began to get restive from the noise proceeding
from the steam-carriage. The carriage shortly
afiri-
wards came up, and in passing grazed the.wheel of hi.
chaise, which fotetd the pony back a few paces,

6ether with its noise, frightened tl e anr-
. euch, that he set off at full speed. His wife
jumped out, and providentially escaped unhurt ;
while applicant hung on the reins, and endeavoured
to stop the vehicle, without success. After pro-
ceeding for about, half a utile he was driven against
a mound by the road side, when the gig was upset,
and the horse fell, Applicant fortunately escaped
with little injury, and a gentleman came up to his
assis'ance, who, being informed how the accident
occurred, said that he had witnessed a similar acci-
dent near the same place, only a few days ago, from
the steam-carriage.
Applicant went to the factory where the steam-
carriage is kept, yesterday morning, but, instead of
receiving any apology, he was loaded with abuse,
and told that " he ought to be hung for not umag-
ing his horse better."
Mr. RAWLISSON—And did they realty. say.so ?
I can only tell them that if they go on in this,way
they stand a good chance of being hung themselves.
Mr. Rawlinson then adverted to the steam-coach
very recently running against a house, and carrying
part of it away; and, after thanking Mr. Prourrfoot
for taking up the matter, directed a summons to be
issued against the proprietor, for running a machihe to
the great danger and terror of his Majesty's solects.
QUEEN-SQUARE. •
A thin cadaverous-looking man, with the astound-
ing name of Augustus Julius arsar, was yesterday
placed at the bar before Mr. GREGORIE, charged
with violently assaulting a police constable of L d-
vision.
It appeared that on the preceding evening the
constable, while on duty, heard a great noise near
Lambeth-walk, and on approaching the place he
found Augustus Caesar surrounded by a number of
persons, whom he was haranguing, and creating a
great disturbance. He spoke to Augustus mildly,
and requested him to go away, when he up with
his fist and knocked the constable down, exclaiming
at the same time, " Take that." The constable gr t
up, and was about to lay hold of Augustus, when
he received another "take that," and down he went
again. The constable was more cautious with
Augustus the third time, and finally succeeded in
taking him into custody, and conveying him to the
station-house, but not before he had made a most
violent resistance, and threatened to impeach the
constable before the House of Lords.
Augustus Caesar—l consider myself King of Eng-
land, at least I feel as if I was King of England, and
that is the same thing, and I consider that I have a
right to knock down any man I please, when and
where I think proper.
Mr. GREGORIE ordered the prisoner to be de-
livered over to the parish officers to be taken care
of, and he was removed from the bar.
LAMBETH- S TREE T.
Yesterday Thomas Hatch, a journeyman pork-
butcher, was brought before Mr. Waideeit upon the
following charge:—
A person named Miller, between 1 and 2 o'clock
that afternoon, was standing in the Mile-end-road,
arid saw a small terrier dog run past him, with it
large portion of its entrails out of its body, and
trailing along the ground. He followed the poor
animal to the house of its owner, a distance of 200
or 300 yards, and perceiving its dreadful state of
suffering, and that part of the guts were cut through,
he ordered it to be hung, to put an end to its pain,
which was accordingly done. Witness subsequently
learned that the animal had gone into the
shop of Mr. Snelling, a pork-butcher, in the Mile-
end-road, where the prisoner worked as a journey-
man, and he, the prisoner, deliberately stabbed hitn
on the right side with a large knife, and inflicted a
wound of several inches in length and depth. On
remonstrating with him on the brutality of his con-
duct, he became very impertinent, and told the wit-
ness he had no business to interfere.
The prisoner, in defence, said he was merely-
cleaning the counter, when a large knife, happening
to fall, inflicted the wound on the dog that had been
spoken of.
Several persons here exclaimed that it was impos-
sible this could be true, arid the dead animal was
produced, for the inspection of the Magistrates, to
prove that it was not so.
ut 3i/tr "Wa3--irean-ersc `wfra-iiirAdmazil,"av- the
wound, which was several inches in length, was be-
tween the fourth and fifth ribs.
Mr. WALKER observed, that as he could not take
the ease under Mr. Martin's Act, but that of mali-
cious injury, it would be necessary to have the
owner of the dog in at!eridance, to ascerrain its va-
lue, and also the shopman of Mr. Snelling, who saw
the act committed ; and in order to insure this the
prisoner was detained.

Henry James Marshall and James Wosdall were

in the Court amounting to horror. On
being sworn she stated that on Thursday morning
she missed her watch, and her son nor having r: -
turned, she had some suspicion that he had com-
mitted the theft-, and accordingly went in search
of him, whom she found coming out of the Coburg
theatre.
Alderman THORPE—What do you wish me to do
with these poor children ? Mrs. Marshall—l want
to have them punished as far as the law allows.
Alderman THORPE—It is not in my power to
inflict summary punishment. The prisoners are of
very tender years. The whole may be referred to
youthful error, which may be converted into crime
by their association while in prison. If I commit
they must abide their trial.
Mrs. Marshall—They shall be punished-1 with
to prosecute.
William Tranter, servant to a pawnbroker, pre-
duced the watch, which Mrs. Marshall identified,
but could not swear by whom it was pawned.
Mrs. Marshall—l'll make you swear—you reuse
swear. Do you call this justice?
Alderman THORPE repeatedly asked the paver -
broker who pawned it ?—He replied, he did to t
know.

Mrs. Marshall now became clamorous, insisting
the pawnbroker must swear who pawned it.
Hall, a constable, proved the apprehension of the
prisoner coming out of the Coburg Theatre ork
Thursday night, and on searching Marshall he found
a duplicate of the watch. Nothing was found ott
\Vosdall.
The ALDERMAN humanely suggested that the mo-
ther would be able to find some creditable employ
for her child. She was bound in duty to attend to
the morals of her child, and an offence of this kind
would be a reproach to herself. He would, how-
ever, if she persisted, do his duty ; but he thought
she would not do her's by pursuing her son vindic-
tively.
The mother was, however, determined, in defi-
ance of remonstrance, and the prisoner Marshall o► as
committed to take his trial. \Vosdall was dis-
charged for want of evidence.
Mrs. Marshall then entered into the usual recog-
nizances, and the boy was committed. The prisoner
is not more than 14 years of age.

PROVIDENTIAL ESCAPE.—As a party, con-
sisting of three young gentlemen, accompanied by a young
lady, the sister of one of the gentlemen, were proceeding
op the Thames, on Thursday, the 27th instant, in a small
wherry, it became necessary to clear some barges, moored
on the Surrey side of the river, between Blackfriars and
Waterloo-bridges ;
but not being able to pull uff in suf-
ficient time, the force of the current, which was running
very strong, carried them under the bow of one of the
barges, and almost crushed the wherry to pieces; and hart
it net been for the very timely aid of a waterman, who
.ustantly rowed to their assistance, they must have been
sucked under the lighters and all have perished. The
young lady evinced great presence of mind, and had silt-
ficient fortitude to cling to one of the barges, which being
heavily laden was low in the water, anti was relieved from
her perilous situation by the boatmen, who also succeeded
in taking one of the young gentlemen out of the water,
