cution. They are very much surprised at this
charge being brought against them. The circum-
stances connected with the bones have only come tn)
oiit knowledge within the last few minutes. Under
these circumstances it would he advantag,ous to
us to have the opportunity of a few days' delsy. I
ask now for an adjournment.

The City Solicitor—l think the application is a
perfectly► fa'r ose and ought to'be complied with,
bolt it must be with the undertaking that the defen-
dants will render us every assistance in the mean-
while to apprehend the men who have been guilty
of selling these hones.
Mr. Piper—We are only too anxious to assist in
the mater.. If the case had gone on we should
have brought forward two trustworthy men, one of
whom locked up the gate at night, the place being
surrounded by a high wall. Both of these men de-
clare that they believe it to b., perfectly impossible
that the bones could have come from the spot in
question. The place in which the bodies were put
has been built up with a brick wall.
The further hearing of the summons was then
adjourned.

GUILDHALL.—Joseph Beale, a lad about 15,
was charged with throwing lumps of mud over the
parapet of Blackfriars-bridge, as if with the view of
striking something on the pier. A policeman
proved the fact, and Weir, the pier-master,
complained of the intolerable nuisance of
boys assembling on the bridge, and pro-
jecting mi.siles upon the pier, to the danger
of the passengers. It was only a few days ago that
a large piece of granite was thrown and 'ell upon
the stern-lights of the pier, and had it fallen upon
the head of any lady or gentleman, in all proba-
bility it would have killed the person. It was
with the greatest difficulty that such boys could be
caught, as they always decamped the instant he left
the pier, and when he returned, they came back
again. He did not wish to press the charge severely
against the prisoner, because he thought a small
fine would answer every purpose, if the newspapers
would give it the ut►nost publicity.
Alderman Hale said it was a very serious charge
and he felt very much inclined to inflict the fullest
penalty the law allowed.
The mother of the prisoner said her boy was in
respectable employ, having been in the same
situation for the last two years.

Alderman Halesaid hes-hould have awarded such
a punishment as the prisoner would have re-
membered all his life if it had been stones he had
been throwing instead of mud. He would, how-
ever, fine him ss. for the present offence ; but if
he or any other lad were brought before him again
upon such a charge he would impose the full
penalty of 405., or commit the delinquent to prison.

BOW-STREET.—A woman named Catherine
Lewis, who avowed her infamous way of life with-
out a blush, and who is well known to the police,
was brought before Mr. Jardine under the follow-
ing singular circumstances.

Policeman F 141 said—l was on duty in Holborn
at a quarter to one this morning, when I saw the
prosecutor, William Coleman, with the dog I now
produce ia remarkably handsome Isle of Skye
terrier). He was intoxicated. I saw the prisoner and
another woman getting about him, and I sent them
away. They crossed the road and walked on, keeping
pace with him on the opposite side. Presently I
saw the prisouer cross over and walkup to the prose-
cutor, She suddenly dealt him a violent blow in
the face, and knocked him down right flat, and
snatching up the dog, she ran away as hard as she
could pelt, with the dog in her arms. So I ran
after her and caught her, and took the dog from
her. I brought her back, and he gave her in
charge.
William Coleman—l am an ostler. The dog is
my own property, and worth seven guineas at
least. I was a little the worse for liquor, but I re-
member this woman coming up to me, and she hit
me so sharp and sudden that• she knocked me
"right backwards." She nearly knocked my teeth
out. I had the dog by a chain, but she snatched it
from me.

Prisoner—Why, I never went near the man ; I
was a running along, and the dog ran after me.
Constable—She had the dog in her arms, carry-
ing him, your worship.
Mr. Jardine—There can be no doubt you meant
to steal the dog. I shill commit you for one month.
