A TICKET-Or-LEAVB CONVICT RE-CONVICTED.—Thomas
Montgomery, a ticket-of-leave convict, who was convicted
of burglary on the 27th of June, 1863, and sentenced to
5 years' penal servitude, appeared for the second time be-
fore Mr. Partridge charged with wilfully and unlawfully
neglecting to report his change of residence at Arbour-
square Police Station, Stepney, ho being a convict on
ticket of leave, contrary to the provisions of the Act of
Parliament, 27 and 28 Vic., cap. 47.

In the first investigation it appeared that the prisoner
had duly reported himself at the station-house, in Arbour-
square, but he had not notified his change of residence
from No. 9, Oxford-street, Stepney, to Fieldgate-street,
Whitechapel, and Leman-street, Whitechapel. The magis-
trate thought as the prisoner had duly reported himself,
although he had not reported his intended change of resi-
dence, some allowance might be made, and perhaps if all
the circumstances were reported to the Commissioners of
Police the case would not be pressed.

Inspector Griffin, of the K division, now reported that
the prisoner had been guilty of a series of evasions, that he
had not reported himself at the H division station, in Leman-
street, when he was living-in Oxford-street and in Leman-
street. The instructions on the prisoner's pardon and on
other papers were plain and direct, that he was to notify
an intended change of residence, and report himself
monthly at the station-house of the division in which he
lived. While the prisoner was in the H divisionhe reported
himself in the K division, although ho had received posi-
tive instructions to the contrary.

Mr. James Bassett, a coffee-house keeper, of No. 5, Field-
gate-street, Whitechapel, said the prisoner hired a room of
him in the latter end of January, and paid him a week's
rent in advance. The prisoner slept one night there, but
no more, and for a fortnight afterwards called for his letters
daily, but did not sleep in the house or have his meals
there.

The prisoner admitted that he had not acted rightly,
and that if the magistrate would look over this nothing
shouldr. dgr'a‘pratrsiswee evidenceulcinfliture.
Hr. I
have
heard
this
day
com-
pletely alters the character of the case. There has been
a deliberate intention to evade the act of Parliament and to
deceive the police. I shall revoke the prisoner's license,
and he will be taken back to Millbank Prison, from which
he was liberated in January.
Inspector Griffin immediately took the prisoner ,into
custody. His sentence will expire in June, 1868.

HORRIBLE OUTRAGE.—Ann Marks, a depraved and very
savage prostitute, was brought before Mr. Partridge,
charged with violently assaulting John Kenny, a seaman.
William Freestone, a police-constable, No. 58 K, stated
that the sailor stopped with the prisoner on Thursday
night and on Good Friday, and that on the night of the
last named day she attacked him without the semblance of
provocation, and broke a glass sugar basin about his head,
and knocked his eye out. The man was taken to the
London Hospital, and was in a really dangerous condition.
Ho took the prisoner to the bedside of the patient this
morning, and the sailor identified her, and said " She has
knocked my eye out ; I don't know why she did it." That
is the sugar basin with which she did it.

Mr. Partridge remanded the prisoner till Saturday next.

WESTMINSTER.

A DISGRACE TO A RIFLE CORPS.—Thomas Stephenson,
18, Keppel-street, Chelsea, a private in the Ist Middlesex
Engineer Volunteers, was charged with wantonly dis-
charging a rifle, to the danger and annoyance of passengers
at Lower Belgrave-place, Pimlico.

William Rollingson, 399 B, said—At 12 o'clock last night
1 was in Chelsea-place, and heard two caps snapped on a
rifle in Lower Belgrave-place. I went there and saw the
prisoner with a comrade in uniform. Both had rifles, and
were not quite sober. When they got about 20 yards past
Chester-place I hoard the report of a rifle, and ran after
the prisoner, catching him at the corner of Eaton-square.
He at first :said he did not fire the rifle. His comrade's
rifle had the muzzle-stopper in it, and therefore accused
the prisoner of it. Colonel Baring, of No. 1, Chester-
place, then came up, and prisoner acknowledged firing the
rifle, saying he was very sorry for it ; it was a blank cart-
ridge.

Prisoner said when he left Brighton there was some-
thing the matter with the nipple of his rifle, so he put saps
on and fired their, until, at the third attempt, it went off.
Mr. Arnold asked him if he hadn't got sense enough to
know that the street was not a proper place to try a rifle in.
Prisoner—lt was a forethought of mine. I didn't deny
it. lam very sorry.

A comrade proved that they had been using blank cart-
ridge at Brighton ; the prisoner said the vent of his rifle
was foul and he tried four caps to clear it.
He was ordered to find a surety in £5, to be of good
behaviour for three months.
