IMPUDENT ATTEMPT TO ROB A HOUSE.—Thomas
a boy about 14 years old, was placed at the bar, charged
with burglariously entering the dwelling-house of Mr.
Sydney Davis, artist, 172, Cambridge-street, Pimlico, with
intent to commit felony.

Mr. Thomas Crer, a gentleman living in Cambridge-
street, said that at 20 minutes to 11 last night he saw the
prisoner and a man with him sit down on the front steps
of 172. His suspicion was excited by their stealthily
watching and removing from the spot where it appeared
that they were observed. They returned, however,
in a few minutes, and having watched till the
street was perfectly free of passengers, the prisoner
mounted the balustrade, and having got on to the sill
of the parlour window, opened it, and went inside.
Witness immediately rang the bell of the house, and
apprized the inmates. The police were called, and the pri-
soner was found in the parlour concealed behind the
couch.

Mr. Arnold—Where was the man ?
Witness—He was at the door when the boy entered, and
ran away when he saw me.

Mr. Arnold—ls the Ivy known ?

The Police—He has been here before charged with
felony. He is well known to us.
Prisoner was remanded for a week.

THAMES.

AGGRAVATED ASSAULT ON A WIFE.--Daniel Driscoll,
a fellowship porter, was brought up on a warrant, before
Mr. Paget, charged with assaulting his wife.
The prisoner was in the receipt of 355. and neglected his
family. His four children, in court, were in a miserable
plight, and appeared to have been half starved. The wife,
who had been terribly ill-used, was in a similar condition.
The prisoner had beaten her in a savage manner, blackened
her eyes, and broken a.chair over her in bed. Nine weeks
ago he knocked her down with a hammer. When the
prisoner was arrested last night by Howland, a police-
constable, No. 89 H, the children were crying for
food, and the officer, asked the prisoner for some
money to purchase bread. The heartless fellow said he had
no money. He was searched, and 6s. 6d. was found upon
him, a portion of which the officer judiciously expended
in food.

Mr. Paget commented at great length on the prisoner's
heartless conduct to his children, and his brutality to his
wife, and sentenced him to be imprisoned for six months
and kept to hard labour. He directed that the mother and
children should be taken to the Whitechapel workhouse.
