miISDLESEX SESSIONS.

The sittings o the court for the December Gene-
ral Session were resumed yesterday morning at the
Guildhall, Weste ainster, before Mr. Pashley, Q. C',
Assistant-Judge, and a bench of magistrates, by
adjournment from Clerkenwell. There were 48 cases
for trial ; 41 of fel any, and 7 of misdemeanour.
George Nathan 'el Hoskings, 35, surgeon, was
indicted for havin6 embezzled the sums of 41. 3s.
and Si., received by him on account of Win. Henry
Gardner, his master, He pleaded guilty.
Mr. Sleigh and 1/1::. F. H. Lewis were for the
prosecution. Mr. liiietcalfe was instructed on be-
half of the prisoner.
It was stated to the court by Mr. Lewis, in the
absence of Mr. Sleigh, that the prisoner had been
in the service of the prosecutor, a surgeon of exten-
sive practice, aboir t two years and a half, and he
had embezzled money, amounting altogether to near
upon 3001., the fre .uds extending over a period of
two years. He ha Id been in the habit of sending
letters requesting
.payments and intercepting thd
answers returned by the patients. A betting book
was found upon him -when he was given into custody.
Mr. Metcalfe challenged the production of any
such book, and said all the sums the prisoner was
charged with having embezzled were 41. 3s. and 51.,
and the whole amount that could have been placed
in the indictment was much less than had been
stated. The prisoner was a highly respectable man,
a licentiate of the Apothecaries' Company, and had
been medical officer to the Bath Hospital. He had
been in practice at Bath, but he gave it up, and
entered upon a brewery speculation, which proved
unfortunate. He came to London and took the
situationof assistant to theprosecutor, at the salary
of 801. per year at first, but utterly the pay had
been increased to 1001. a-year. The prosecutor had
two practices, ono of which, at Bayswater, was en-
tirely under the prisoner's control, and he had to
attend upon first-class patients, to keep up the po-
sition of a gentleman, find fodginet4, and support
his family, uponsostuallan.inceme. t'He complained
that the prosecutor had bean harsh to the prisoner,
who had been a good servant to him, as was evi-
denced by the fact that he sat up with one patient,
an admiral, 20 nights, for which the prosecutor
charged at the rate of two guireeal per night; while
he stave the prisoner not a penny for this extra ser-
vice. The prisoner was rather closely pushed by
creditors, and certainly did make use of the prose-
cutor's money, but he did so under the expectation
of receiving a sum of 5001., in which he was unfor-
tunately disappointed. Ia a legal point of vie v the
prisoner had been guilty of the offence of embezzle-
ment, but he (Mr. Metcalfe) thought he had not
been dealt with by the prosecutor in that liberal
spirit his position would have justified.
The prosecutor was put into the witness-box to
answer several questions put by the court as to the
amounts, and he wished to contradict some parts
of what prisoner's counsel had stated. He did give
the prisoner something for his extra services, and
the greater part of the nights his sat up he was at a
billiard table.

The Assistant-Judge thought that had no direct
bearing on the case. He would consider what sen-
tence to pas!.
William Hilton, 65, pleaded guilty of having at-
tempted to defraud the Right Hon. Lord Panmura
of 3s. 63. The prisoner went to his lordship's re
dence in Chesham-place with a parcel which he s +id
had just arrived by railway, and demanded 3s. 63.
for the carriage. The valet took the parcel to his
lordship, who opened it and found it contained 134
an old hat. The prisoner ran away on seeing the
valet return. He threw another old hat down the
area of au adjoining house. The court sentence'
him to three months' hard labour.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—Dac. 21.

MANSION-HOUSE.—The Lord Mayor, upon
leaving the bench on Saturday, said—l feel that I
way state in this room that I have received several
communications upon the subject of the approaching
holidays in consequence of the fact that th's year
Christmas-day will fall upon a Friday, and suggest-
ing that the Saturday also should be kept as a
public holiday. This would give Friday, Satur-
day, and Sunday, and it would, lam convinced,
be a boon and a blessing to thousands in this great
city, whc', under ordinary circumstances, have few
opportunities of getting suck holidays, or in fact
any holiday at all. I understand that several
most extensive houses in the city have decided
upon cicsing their warehouses upon the Saturday ;
and if any arrangement can be made by which the
plan can be carried out generally—that is, where-
ever the successive days can be allowed without
great inconvenience to the principals, it will, as I
said before, be of essential service to thousands. If
this'4can be accomplished, I would also further sug-
gest that employers, in giving this holiday to their
men, should not stop their pay for the Saturday.
Of course, there may be some who will not have it
in their power to adopt this suggestion, but it is an
occasion which occurs only once in seven years;
and lam sure th..t if persons who can do so with-
out injury or inconvenience will take the hint their
men will requite them well by increased diligence
in pursuing their labours on their return in the fol-
lowing week. Ido not at all wish to be supposed
as dictating from this chair to the public upon the
subject, but I feel myself quite justified in offering
these suggestions, and I hope they will not be en-
tirely without effect.

Applause, which was with difficulty checked by
the officers of the court, followed the observations
made by his Lordship.
Henry Flint was yesterday brought up in the
Custody of George Webb, the detective officer, upon
a warrant charging him with having embezzle]
money belonging to his employers, Messrs. Grind-
lay, the proprietors of the .Home News.
The prisoner was committed for trial at the Cen-
tral Criminal Court.

Mr. Kilby, the brother of Mr. F. Kilby, who
was on the 170 inst., charged by Mr. Francis
Worrell Stevens, stockbroker, of 3, Royal Exchange,
with having attempted to lob him of several bun-
clritds of pounds, appeared before the Lord Mayor
in very deep affliction.
_ _

It Will be recollected that the Lord Mayor, after
-having questioned the accuser very closely on the
day of examination, dismissed the case, assuring
Mr. Kilby that he would leave the court without
the slightest taint upon his character.
The applicant-of yesterday said that his unhappy
brother became dreadfully prostrated on returning
home at the idea of having been locked up in a
static) I upon such a charge, and notwi,h-tauding
every effort to cheer him, grew worse and worse,
and on Sunday morning put an end to his exi•tenae
by cutting his throat. •
The Lord
.Mayer said, he, greatly regretted so
deplorable an event. He had supposed that the
result of the examination as published in the news-
papers would have had the effect of at least allevia-
ting the _pain of baying been charged with the
offence.

Mr. Kilby intimated that he would in all pro-
bability petition the Court of Aldermen on the
subject, and left the justica-room in great agita!ii.n,
and much compassionated by all who were present.

BOW STREET.—Mr. William Pitt' • Bowler,
formerly adjutant and paymaster of the Donegal
Artillery Militia, was brought before Mr. Jardine,
in custody of Inspector Whicher, of the detective
force, • on a warrant charging Ifni with having
embezled. 1,233/. of the public money.
The defendant was remanded for further in.veiti-
g-ttion.

CLE RKENWELL.—WiIIiam Jennlngs, a yoting
felloW described on the police sheet as a laboilieri
residing at 54, Red Lion-street, St. Pancras, vas
cha-ged with burglariously bre 'king and entering
the dwelling house No. 54, Red Lion-street, and
stealing therefrom one gold watch, eight woroa's
dres,sep, 71. 16,i. lid., one silver snuffbox, and a
quantity of other apparel, tho property of Agnes
Baker and Georgina Baker, waitnesses.
It appeared that that morning, Policy-serge nt
ro Bwn, 10 E, was passing near • the prosecute x's
li
residence, when he ascertained that an entry lad,
been" made into the house. The robbery of !the
above articles was then found out, and frcmlthe
active inquiries that had beeumade- by the police
sergeant he entettained a suspicion that the ri-
goner was the math and 'upon his proceedin to
21 ..klbert-mews Hoxtm, lie discovered the ti-
senor in a hay loft there. When Sereant Brown.
inquired of the piisener about the matter lie denied

all knowledge of the transaction, but afterward--;
admitted that he was the man, and the trunk was
found ix a corner. -Upon examining the place the
sergeant fouud the gold watch and other valuable
articles on the roof.

The prisoner, who did not deny it, said he should
reserve his defence.

Mr. CO/Tie committed the prisoner for trial.

THAMES.—Captain Robert M'Eachern, the
owner and master of the brig Heather Bell, now on
her voyage to Barbadoes, and who left the vessel
in the Downs for the purpose of meeting the charge
against him, appeared for the second time before
Mr. Selfe to answer a charge of committing a series
of assaults on John William Norris, a boy who was
apprenticed to him by the Marine Society previous
to sailing on a voyage to the West Indies.
-After hearing the evidence,
Mr. Selfe said, —I think it a matter for the
consideration of a jury. Three witnesses !have
sworn most distinctly to many assaults. In
all
aTfieee'captain has bet there are
tshoemeli mainttle discrepancies.facts
sthey
cer-
tainly met the serious charge against him most man-
fully, and nothing can be better than his conduct
in coming here and giving up the voyage, but what-
ever inconvenience it may inflict upon individuals,
a ju? y under the direction of a learned judge must
gay whether the defendant is guilty or not guilty of
the serious assaults charged against him.
Mr. Pelham—lf that is your determination I will
reserve the defence and not call any witnesses now.
Mr. Selfe—l ought to say this, that the father of
the deceased may make his mind perfectly clear
that his boy did not commit suicide. There is no
pretence for saying so. The boy was aloft on a
stormy night, and, not being a very expert sailor,
fell overboard.

The depositions, which were exceedingly vo-
luminous, were then formally taken by Mr.
sitcrak and read over, and
called upon to find bail-•-•
sureties in 1001. each to
hCBi eda f°n Mn
2tEohoea Ic. hj

ueanrnni
do junior
two
sessions.

Bail was immediately tendered and accepted.

LAMBETH.—A powerful and ruffianly-looking
fellow, who gave the name of George Jone 4, was
placed at the bar bafore Mr. Elliott on the following
charge:—

POlice-constable Charles Revelle, 175 L, deposed
that on Sunday morning at 7 o'clock he was in
company with Sergeant Broad in Carlisle-street,
Lambeth, and saw the prisoner and another man
going on towards Royal-street, and from their ap-
pearance and manner they were induced to follow
and watch them. In a short time they observed
the prisoner's companion go up to the door of 45,
Royal street, put a key into the latch, and en-
deavour to open it, but ho did not succeed, and
rejoined the prisoner. At this time they must have
observed Broad and himself watching them,
for they hurried off in different directione.
The witness turned up another street, and,
having met the prisoner, he asked him what it
was he was loitering about the streets at that hour
of the morning for, and he denied that he was loi-
tering at al', but was going to his house in Princess-
street, near the Elephant and Castle. Observing
something bulky under his coat, he asked the pri-
soner what it wa%, upon which he replied, "I'll
show you," and drawing alife-preserver from under
his coat aimed a desperate blow at his head with
that weapon. It fortunately missed his head and
struck him on the side of the neck, which stunned
him for a few moments, and the prisoner started off.
He called out " Stop thiet" as loud as he could, li
and the prisoner was stopped and secured.
Sergeant Broad corroborated the testimony of
the last witness, and added that on hearing Revelle
call out he ran to his assistance, and just came up
as a civilian was in the act of stopping the prisoner,
and saw the latter strike the former with the life-
preserver on his forehead. He (Broad) at once
closed with the prisoner and they went down toge-
ther, and while on the ground he disarmed him of
the life-preserver. The prisoner was then removed
to the station-house and immediately after he
(Broad) received from a woman the bunch of skele-
ton keys he then produced, and which she said she
picked up close to the pace where the prisoner was
apprehended. Witness subsequently tried the keys
with the latch of the door the prisoner's companion
had attempted to open, and found that two of them
would raise the latch, and of course open the door,
if there had been no additional fastening to it. The
witness here handed the life-preserver to the ma-
gistrate for his inspection, and a most formidable
instrument it appeared to be.
Mr. Wm. Robinson said, that hearing the cry of
" Stop thief" on the morning before, and seeing
the prisoner running, he stopped him,- and ho in-
stantly struck at him with the life-preserver -pro-
duced ; fortunately his head was so close to him. at
the time that the prisoner's fist struck his forehead
es well as the instrument it hold, and therefore the
blow from the preserver was not so severe as it
otherwise might have been.
Mrs. Thoruby, the lady residing in the house 45,
Royal street, said that about 7 o'clock on the morn-
ing before she heard some persons move a key iu the
front door lock as if endeavouring to open it, but
did not succeed, and Mrs. Louisa Smith deposed
that on the morning of that day mouth her house,
23, Allen-street, in the same neighbourhood, was
,entered by thieves by means of skeleton keys, and
plundered of a good deal of property.
.She saw the
thieves leave the premises, and the prisoner so
strongly resembled one of them that she believed
him to be the same. _

The prisoner, who said be was a blacksmith, and
cnly six weeks from Birmingham, was remlnded
for a week.

Dr. Iliff, one of the churchwardens of the parish
of St. Mary, Newington, waited on Mr. Elliott, and
informed him that on that morning the baby of
Frances Paisley or Parley, about the burial of which
complaints had been ma de at this court, had been
exhumed at the Victoria-park Cemetery, and iden-
tified by her fiends, who expressed themselves per-
andthe parish authorities were anxious
be made public as soon as pos-
tfhectttlythae t rest,fae should
pos-
sible. With respect to the. extraordinary circum-
stance of issuing two certificates for the burial of
the same body from the workhouse, that matter was
still under strict investigation.

SECOND TRAGEDY IN S7'. PANCRAS.-r-
INQUEST ON MRS. MACDONALD.

'ardwick-place, Harrington-
-4 o'clock, Mr. Wakley
heldYe
as tne
inquestday afternoon
a
t5,1l at
Harrington-
square, Hampstead-road, the residence of Mr.
Frederick Macdonald, on the body of Mrs. Char-
wife, aged 34, who,
afterlotte having Augusta i
flinflicted
Macdonald,seti eu his
upon him and
her servants, flung herself out of the second floor
window. •

The jury were summoned and the panel sworn at
the Southampton Arms Tavern, but in consequence
of the inability of Mr. Macdonald, on account of
his injuries, to attend to give evidence' the pro-
ceedings were adjourned to his house., The Rev.
Mr. Jennings, M.A., the deCeased's br
law, and other relatives were "presen,. - •
Elizabeth Anson, servant to the deceased, said,
during the last•three nights prier to Saturday morn-
ing she had slept on-the sofa in the front room on
the sec end floor, on account of the restless conduct
of her mistress, who said she could not sleep, as
her mother was dying. Mrs. Macdonald's mother
died on Thursday night, and she was aequaint?d
With it "on Friday morning, and became much-ex-
cited. About half-past seven o'clock on Saturday
morning she was awoke by the cries of her master,
who cried out,
"My Gad, my wife is getting out
of th window."
He jumped out of bed,
and, with witness, rushed towards the window.
Deceaied was partly on the window-sill, and
she exclaimed. " It you comp near tne, , I
will kill you. , I have this raz r." He seized her,
and told witness to take the razor from her ' • but,
in trying to do so, she Was cut in the hand and
arm. Mr. Macdonald .vas still holding her while
she bad only one foot on the inside of the window-
sill, and all the rest of her body out, when, there
being no sash line, the window-fell down upon his
back. He called to her to
lift it up while he
pulled her mistress in. Fur a minute or so she was
unable to move the sash,-and her master cried out
" Police," and witless ran' to the blby who was
screaming. She saw her master's hauds streaming
with blood, and afterwards saw the deceased
lying in the front area on her back. Wihles3 had
beea but three weeks in the deceased's service and
saw nothing strange in her conduct. Dr. Fraat r
and Mr. Collins were called in, but the deceased
died in about half an hour.
On the Coroner desiring to examine Mr. Mac-
donald,
Mr. Collin,. his
medical adviser,
was cut vela, sliokiegly, and he was in such a
state that he could not be brought' down with
safety. said his hind
Dr. Fraser, of 15, Harrington-square, said, when
called in deceased had beeu removed from the area
into the kitchen. Both fore arms were broken, the
tight having a compound fracture, and the lefc
single fracture. One of .the spikes
of the railings
had entered the fleshy anterior part of the right
thigh. She died. in about half an hour, Mr.
Macdona'd's hands were bleeding, and left band
and Iv, ist was cut right a ;ross the bac'T, the tendons
and veins being divided. No doubt the injuries
from the fall were the cause of death.
Mr. Julius Collins surgeon, of Morn ington-place,
said he had attende I Mrs. Macdonald and her
family for four or five years past up to about six
weeks back, when, under his advice, she was re-
moved to a private lunatic asylum at Bow. He

certified for her to go there. She had continual
delusions that 'she was poisoned, or about to be
poisoned. A few days before she went to the asy-
lum she s3nt for him, and declared some medicine
she had been taking was poison, and she had taken
it in mistake. She did not exhibit symptoms of a
dangerous tendency calculated to make him believe
she contemplated suicide. At the sanao time, how-
ever, lie-advised precautionary and watchful mea-
sures.

The first witness was recalled, and identified the
razor as her master's. They had missed it about a
week ago, and it could not be found anywhere.
The deceased must have secreted it.

The Coroner said, with the evidence of the ser-
vant and that of Dr. Collins, he thought the jury
had heard enough of this very deplorable catas-
trophe, without inflicting further torture on the
unfortunate gentleman, the deceased's husband, to
enable them to come to a conclusion.

The jury concurred with the Coroner, and imme-
diately returned a verdie, " That the deceased
cmunitted the shocking act which led to her death
whilst in a state of insanity."

THE FIRE AND LOSS OF THREE LIKES
IN SHOREDITCH.

CORONER'S INQUES P ON THE
SUFFERE RS.

Last night, Mr. W. Baker, the coroner for East
Middlesex, and a highly respectable jury assembled
at the Prince of Wales Tavern, Bonner's-road,
Victoria park, for thepurpose of inquiring into the
circumstances attending the respective deaths of
Mr. John Metcalf, aged 52 ; Ann, his wife, aged
44 ; and his daughter, Julia Maria, aged seven
years ; who wore burnt to death at a fire which oc-
curred on Saturday morning last, at No. 27,
marcher-street, Shoreditch.
Owing to the many rumours in circulation as to
the origin of the fire, the investigation excited a
painful degree of interest, and the large concert-
room in which the inquest was held was densely
crowded during the whole of the proceedings.
Mr. Braidwood, the superintendent of the fire-
brigade ; Mr. Fogo, foreman of the A district ;
Mr. Baddeley, inspector, and Mr. Sampson Low,
secretary of the Royal Society for the Protection of
Life from Fire, attended to watch the inquiry ;
and Mr. Inspector Henley, of the II division, was
in attendance to report the case to the Commis-
sioners of Metropolitan Police.
William Opency, a weaver, of 13, Hare-marsh,
identified the bodies, when
Police-constable GonVison, No. 38 11, said that
on the morning in question he was on duty in Ar-
cher-street, and on going his rounds he met Mr. J.
A. Harman, who did not rent the house himself,
but his mother-in-law did. He asked witness if lie
knew him or not, and he replied that ho did. They
then walked down the court, and he said that he
was going t 3 the west-end for his brother to take
charge of his premises, He also said that his house
bad been broken into, and 601. of goods had been
stolen therefrom. Witness had seen him two or
three times before on the same morning ; he told
him the first time that he had been robbed at half-
pa-it 12 o'clock the overnight.
By a Juror—He was not at that time sober. He
also told him that he suspected his wife and his
mother-in-law of having robbed him, and that they
must have taken the goods backwards, as none of
the neighbours had seen them taken from the front.
He wished him (the constable) to go in and search
the place, but he refused, and advised. him to go to
the station-house. At half-past one o'clock M..
Harman offered him something to drink, which he
refused to partake of. Ho saw no more of him from
that time until three o'clock, when he saw what he
considered to be the gas burning in Mr. Harman's
house. He said to him, " Are you going to leave
the gas burning," and he replied, " Well the gas
is alight." Upon looking towards the top of the
house he saw smoke coming from the shutters, when
he said, " Harman, your place is on fire, and you
know it." He made no answer, and witness took
out his rattle and gave the alarm, when Mr. Har-
man forced the shop door open and ho tried to get
in, but witness seeing that he was intoxicated
pulled him back as the flames were then too great
for any one to pass.

By the Coroner—His first impression was that
the whole c)f the shop and parlour were on fire. In
pulling Harman back they both fell clown together.
When they got up Mr. Harman attempted to break
open the side door by pushing bodily against it. Ho
kept pushing him back and also springing his rattle.
He then went into the next house. Other police-
offic,.,rs coming up he sent them for the fire-escapes
and enTine.. He looked at the second-floor, and
saw the female and the child at tke window. He
called out to the elder female tp make her escape,
but not to attempt to come down stairs. He ex-
p3cted that she would have made for the attics, as
the house was three stories high. He next went
into the adjoining house, and saw Mr. Harman
there.

By a Juror—The reason for witness going into
that house was for the purpose of trying to rescue
' the other parties in the burning house. He heard
an exclamation, " They are all out." Sergeant
Edinger and the Royal Society's Escape conductor
at that moment arrived, and the escape was placed
next tho house on tire, but he lost sight of the
conductor for a moment or so, when he noticed him
on the roof of the house, but he could not tell how
ha got there.
By the Coroner—The parish engine and fire-
escape arrived together. The latter was supported
by Shoreditch parish, but was under the control of
the Royal Society for the Protection of Life from
Fire. If he bad placed the escape in front of the
burning house it would have beendestroyed, as the
fire was coming half way over the street.
Sarah Harding, a widow, said that she resided
at N 0.13, Archer-street, nearly opposite the house
where the fire took place. About twenty minutes
after the alarm was given she saw the female at the
window, who cried out to Mr. Harman, "Oh, you
wretch ! Oh, you villain ! You have been the
cause of this."

The Coroner—That looks something like a dying
declaration. Was any further remark made ?
Witness—Yes, ho replied, "Make your way to the
top of the house."

Several qUestions were put to the witness by Mr.
Harman, but nothing of importance was elicited.
Robert Cathorn, of 10, Archer-street, said that
the reason for ,placing tho fire•escape• against the
next house was owing to the flames coming so
fiercely out of the windows.
Police-sergeant Edinger, No. 124, of the H
division said that on Saturday mornin., at three
o'clock, ho was on duty in High-street, Shoreditch,
when he received information of the fire. He pro-
ceeded to the spot at once, and noticed flames cross-
ing the street. The fire-escape man and the parish
engine came about the same time.
By the Coroner—He thought that the escape
man pai more attention to the escape than he did
to the escape of the inmates. He, however,
thought th .t from the distance the machine had to
come from, it could bo of no avail in saving any of
the lives. The whole of the parties must have
perished before he arrivea. Upon queltioning Mr.
Harman, he denied CIA lie had been out in Archer-
court on the night preceding the fire, or that lie
made a statement to the constable that he had had
his house robbed.

Mr. Thomas B. Crystie, M.D., proved that the
three persons hal died from thetornbined effects of
suffocation and burning. He thought if the escape
upon its arrival had been at once used, it would
have been of no use in rescuing the deceased.
• Barton, the .escapeman, proved that when he
reached the spot the fire was coming out of the
windows, and he tried all that was possible to get
the deceased persons out.
Mr. Low said that Barton was one of the beat
conducted and most active (scapemen they had in
their establishment. The fact was he had saved
upwards of 40 persotis in five years, and it was only
at the express wish of the leading men in the parish
that he was appointed to take charge of the parish
escape.

Several other witne3ses having been examined,
it was proved that Mr. Harman was insured for
3001., in the Liverpool and London Fire•oflice.
The jury nut being satisfied with the evidence
adduce.l, adjourned the inquiry to a future day.

FEARFUL FIRE IN BRYANSTON-STREET.—Two LIVES
LOST.—On Saturday evening, between seven and eight
o'clock, a Sre occurred iu Upper Bryanston-street,
Portman-square, by which the lives of two poor children
were sacrificed. They occupied a poor tenement in the
street, and had been left sleeping by their mother, who
had gone to market. By some accident the candle,
which was left burning, set fire to the apartment, and
the flames burnt the poor children to death.
