CRIMINAL COURT.—(This Day.)

(Before the Recorder.)

John Colbrath, a most determined-looking young
man, was charged with unlawfully cutting and wounding
Charles Aldons, with intent to do grievous bodily
harm. Mr. Poland appeared for the prwecution.
The prosecutor is en out-warder in the Coldbath-
fields Prison ; the prisoner was an inmate under sen-
tence from Clerken well Sessions,. On the morning of
the 11th Nov. the prosecutor was engaged watching
the prisoners as they left their cells, to prevent their
speaking to each other. At this time of day the
prisoners bad to bring out the utensils left in the
cell for their use, which was a heavy vessel, bound
with iron at the rim. The prisoner bad this vessel in
his hand, and as he passed the, prosecutor, he
raised his arm and struck him a tremendous blow on
the forehead with it. The effect of the blow was to cut
through the leathern front of a cap the prisoner was
wearing at the time, and to inflict a very severe wound
and but for the circumstance of having the cap on at
the time,the prosecutor's skull would, in all probability,
have been fractured ; as it was he was so severely
injured, that he bad been unable to do his duty since
the occurrence. The reason for the act appears to be
that the prosecutor had reported the prisoner a few days
before, and wag ordered on bread and water for two
days.

The prisoner was found Guilty.
The prisoner has been twice sentenced for felony, and
had repeatedly threatened the officers with violence.
The Recorder sentenced the prisoner to four years'
penal servitude.
_

John Kirby, a respectable-looking young man, pleaded
guilty to forging cheques on the London and Westmins-
ter Bank, and Messrs. Deacon and flo.

Mr. Count stated that about eleven o'clock on the
previous night the prisoner caste into his house and
called for something to drink. Seeing that he was very
much in liquor he refused to serve him, and advised him
to go home. The prisoner refused to do so, made use of
very bad language, and said he had broken into his house
once before, and stole a silver cup, and would do so again
the first chance he got. The prisoner then became so
violent, and made use of such beastly language, that he
took him by the collar, put him out of the place, and
gave him into custody.
The prisoner pleaded intoxication as the cause of his
so committing himself, and promised not to repeat the

A RIIFFIAN.---E•lward Harper, a tall powerful fellow,
was charged with creating a disturbance at the house of
Mr. Keeley, "The Grey Coat Boy," Peter-street, West-
minster, with using obscene and filthy language in the
presence of females, and with violently assaulting Mrs.
Caroline Soames, a respectable married woman.
Mr. Keeley said that for the last three weeks the
defendant had occasionally visited his Louse, and con-
ducted himself in a most disgraceful manner. His lan-
guage in the presence of Mrs. Keeley and other females
was of the most disgusting description. On Thursday
morning, during complainant's absence from home, de-
fendant conducted himself so disgracefully that Mrs.
Keeley entreated a Mrs. Bosoms, who was present, to
go and fetch a policeman, when he attacked her in the
most cowardly way. Last night he came again to the
house, and on complainant refusing to serve him,
made a blow at him, and then used the most
horrible language. He was given into custody.
Mrs. Caroline Soames said that she went iat• Mr.
Keeley's on Thursday night for her supper beer, when
she heard defendant using the language imputed. Mrs.
Keeley asked her to get a policeman, and she left for
that purpose, but bad not proceeded many yards when
defendant, who had followed her, knocked her down by
a desperate blow on the side of her head. She had
never exchanged a word with him, or given him the
least provocation. She had suffered muck pain from
the blow.
Defendant said- he was very sorry, and would make
any recompense in his power.
Mr. Paynter—Your conduct is most abominable. You
go to this public-house, use the most atrocious and dis-
gusting language, and then commit a most ruffianly
assault. You are committed for three months to hard
21 22 I labour.
