the slightest provocation. He had repeatedly been
in custody for assaulting persons in the street, as
well as upon the charges of robbery.

placed at the bar, before Mr. D'Eyncourt, charged
with having assaulted his father, a coachmaker, in
New-inn-yard, Shoreditch, and also with cu,tingaud
wounding a police-constaide, who apprehended him.
Davidge, G 159, who was evidently in a state of
severe exhaustion, and appeared with his face en-
veloped in binrlages, stated that while on duty in
Curtain-road, Shoreditch, on the previous after-
noon, he was suddenly accosted by the prisoner's
father, who expressed his intention to give his son
into cu'tody for having brutally ill-treated him.
Witness accordingly accompanied him to his house,
which he was about to enter, when the prisoner
rushed forward and struck his father a violent blow
in the face. Witness endeavoured to protect the
old man, but when he seized the prisoner by the
collar he fixed his teeth in the upper part of his
thumb, which he bit so severely as to compel him
to release him. The prisoner then retreated into a
back room, where ho caught up two table-knives,
which lie brandished, and declared he would mur-
der the first man who ventured to approach him.
Witness was attempting to disarm him, when the
prisoner made a rapid thrust at his breast, which
cut through his coat and under-clothing, and im-
mediately afterwards stabbed him in the face, and
inflicted a frightful gash under his left eye. He was
almost blinded with the blood which flowed from
the wound, but he managed to get out his trun-
cheon, and at length the prisoner was overpowered
and secur d.
The prisoner's father, a respectable elderly man,
who wept biterly while giving-his evidence, en-
tered into a sad relation with regard to the profli-
gate habitsand turbulent conduct of the prisoner.
The prisoner was ordered to, be remanded for
depositions.

WESTMINSTER.— A native of China, who
gave the name of Hudson, was charged with
begging.
A policeman stated that, at half-past three on
Sunday afternoon, he. found the defendant seated
upon the pavement in the Brompton-road, hat in
hand, collecting alms. He then removed a few
paces, and sat down again, as though he was very
ill. He received more money there, and upon the
constable's taking him into custody, declared that
all the money he had got was the amount in his
waistcoat pocket, seveupence, but upon searching
him sixpence was found concealed in a rag under
his armpit ; sevenpence more in a private waistcoat
under all his clothing, and some leaf tobacco and
inciters secured next his skin on the middle of his
back by his flannel waistcoat.
Jr. was stated by the constable that the defendant
understood English very well when taken into cus-
tody, but his acquaintance with it appeared to have
completely evaporated, and, as the worthy magi-
strate was completely puzzled to know how either
to communicate the particulars of the charge or re-
ceive the accused's reply in any intelligible tongue,
defendant was remanded till to-day fur an interpre-
ter.

with robbicg William Hart of his watch, value 91.

MARYLEBONE.—Ann James, aged 18, and
Mary Burke, aged 19, well-dressed fem des, were
charged before Mr. Broughton with stealing 36
yards of gingham from the shop of Mr. Johnson,
linendraper, Edgware-road.
It appeared from the evidence of police-constable
Parsons, 182 D, that on Saturday night, about 9
o'clock, he was on duty (in private clothes) in the
Edgware-road, when he observed the prisoners to-
gether. They were strangers to him, but from their
manner he thought that they wanted an opportunity
to take property from some shop or other. They
stopped at the house of Mr. Johnson, where the
prisoner James entered. He observed that she cut
a cord, on which hung several pieces of muslin and
gingham. After doing that they both went away.
In about half a minute they again proceeded to the
shop, and then Burke dragged away one of the
pieces, which she put under her shawl. They were
about to run away, when he ran up and secured
both prisoners. In the struggle Burke dropped
the property from under her shawl. At the Aa-
tion-house, he (Parsons) found upon James half-a-
dozen yards of sheeting, for which he has to find
an owner. There was also a printed card. The
words on it were as follows :—" To be raffled for,
on Thursday, April 30th, at the Swan, Chequer-
alley, a gold ring, for the benefit of Rt. Blount, who
has come out of trouble. Dancing to commence
at 8 o'clock. Sixpence each membr. Ned Crum),
chairman." The ring was on the prisoner James's
finger. _

Mr. Broughton directed the inspector, who was
present, to report to Mr. Hughes, the superinten-
dent of the division, that great credit Ira duo to
Parsons for his vigilance.
The prisoners were remanded for a week.

GREENWICH.—SamueI Morris, a pork-but-
cher, at Forest-hill, Sydenham, was charged with
travelling on the London and Brighton Railway
without paying his fare.
On the 30th March last the defendant arrived at
the Sydenham station by the Epsom train, and
being unable to produce his ticket the full fare from
the place whence the train started was demanded.
This he refused to pay, saying that a friend, who
would arrive by the next train from Forest-bill, had
taken tickets for two, and would produce them.
Mr. Inspectm An3cm:the, of the Brighton Rail-
way Company, said he called upon the d.efetidant
about four days afterwards for the fare, which he
not only refused to pay, but said he (witnees) was
one of those vagabonds whom he had to pay tu-
wards keeping.
The defendant said that himself and a friend ar-
rived at the Forest-hill station just as the bell rang
for the departure of the train, and his friend ob-
tained tickets for both, but after be ran out to the
platform the door was suddenly closed, and his
friend prevented him from taking his seat in the
train.
Mr. Adams, the friend in question, a master gar-
dener at Sydenham, corroborated the statement,
adding that on finding defendant had gone by the
train, he had the money returned to him which he
paid for the second ticket.
Mr. Seeker said the servants of the company
were perfectly right in demanding the full fare
from the place whence the train started. The de-
fendant must pay a penalty of 10s. and costs.

EMIGRATION FRO'3I THE NORTH OF SCOTLAND.—The
Spring fleet has just sailed for Canada from the north-
east ouast of Scotland, carrying out 1,600 passengers.
They are chiefly agricultural labourers, and for the most
part young and newly-married people. Large sums of
money continue to be received from ,ettlers in Upper
from Canada who had previously gone out, cheer,;
Aber-
deenshire, and there is every prospect that bete:: many
years few agricultund labourers will be left at how::
Wages have risen, but when we state that the highest
rates do not exceed 201. alear, it will not be thought
sarprising.
