Central Criminal Court—This Day.

OLD COURT,

George Brooks, Joseph New, Edward Prince, and
Thomas Clements, were indicted for violently assaulting
Sarah Russell, with intent, &c.

The prosecutrix admitted she bad been drinking on the
day in question until late in the evening, when she left
the public-house in Old Brentford for her home. On hor
road she met the four men, who, after walking a short
distance with her, began pulling her about. They also
had been drinking, and the result was that they all rolled
into a ditch. A man came up, and the prosecutrix asked
him to see hor home, and the four men were given into
custody.
Brooks appeared to have been the person most to be
blamed, the others only occasionally taking [part in the
scuffling.
The jury found Brooks guilty, and acquitted the other

prisoners.
The learned judge sentenced Brooks to nine months'
imprisonment with hard labour.

This trial concluded the sessions.

AuDAmous ROBBERY AND CAROUSING ON BOARD SHIPS.

—Francis Harris, aged 40, a ship-keepor of No. 9, Sabber-
ton-street, Poplar, was brought up on remand, before Mr.
Partridge, charged with stealing 50 bottles of wine and
brandy, the property of Captain George Foster, the master
of the ship Pitchelee, lying in the West Indic Dock.
Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, conducted the prosecution,
and said the prisoner was a ship-keeper, and entrusted
with the care of the Pitchelee and her stores in the ab-
sence of the captain and officers of the ship. The prisoner
was guilty of a gross breach of trust, plundered the store-
room of wines and brandies, and entertained his
friends and others on board the Chrysalite, another
ship alongside the Pitchelee, where there was high
life below deck, in the cabin, drunkenness, and a row.
It appeared that on Sunday night last a dock watchman,
named Sampson Rowland, heard boisterous merriment on
board the Chrysalite, alongside the Pitchelee, and an hour
later he heard bottles breaking and quarrelling on board
the same vessel. The prisoner came on shore the worse
for liquor, and roaring out, "One bottle more." lie was
asked who he was, and he said he was ship-keeper of the
Pitchelee. The watchman ordered him on board the
Pitchelee immediately, and threatened to lock him up if he
saw him on the quay again that night. On the following
morning Liddle, one of the principal constables of the
East and West India Dock Company's police, wont on
board the Pitchelee, and saw enough to convince him that
extensive plunder had been going on. In the coal hole there
was a bottle which had contained brandy. The exporter's label
was gone. It wasiound upon the prisoner in his pocket,
and it corresponded exactly with the labels on full bottles
of brandy in cases on board. There was a case which had
contained 24 bottles of wine empty in the coal hole. The
wine had been taken out. A case of brandy was missing,
including the case. An empty case was found in the duck.
Seven bottles of brandy were missed from another case,
and the stores had been made free with, and the prisoner
had bountifully entertained his friends.
Mr. Sowerby, second mate of the Pitchelee, saw the
prisoner deliver a long boat hook to another man on Mon-
day morning and ask him to got an empty case out of the
dock. It was landed. There were initials on the case
F. 8., and 0. P. underneath ; the same brand was on other
cases on board. The prisoner appeared greatly confused
on seeing witness, and threw the case down on the quay.
He ordered the prisoner to take the case on board, and said
to him, " I am afraid rum work has been carried on in the
ship while I have been away."
Capt. George Foster identified the cases produced. The
label taken from the prisoner was exactly similar to those
on board the Pitchelee.

Mr. Gomm cross-examined the witnesses, and made an
address for the prisoner.

Mr. Partridge said that a stong prima facie case was
made out against the prisoner, who was guilty of a gross
breach of trust. He committed the prisoner for trial.

OXFORD RACES-THURSDAY.

This pleasant two days' meeting was commenced to-day
on the Port Meadows. The weather during the forenoon
was very unfavourable, and doubtless deterred many re-
gular attenders living in the vicinity from putting in an
appearance. At two o'clock, however, the hour at which
the racing was set to commence, the weather cleared up,
and with the exception of an occasional shower kept fine
till the close. Those of the turf habitues who were at Wol-
verhampton came on to Oxford, and the special and ordi-
nary trains from the metropolis were crowded, so that the
attendance was nearly up to the average. The racing was
good, a capital card having been provided by the manage-
ment. Details of the day's sport are appended :
