Michael Hannon, 28, pleaded guilty of stealing a
cask of white lead, the property of Wm. Petra.
Former convictions were proved against him, and
the court sentenced him to 3 years' penal servitud,..
Thomas Carmeody, 22, and Thomas Reeves, 20,
were found guilty of stealing 20 pounds of lead,the
property of John Lee Sullivan, the same being fixed
to a building.
Both prisoners were known. Carmoody was
sentenced to 18, and Reeves to 12 months' hard
labour.

John Scott, 42, a Life Guardsman, pleaded
guilty of having stolen two guns, and other articles,
of the value of 2501., the property of the Hon.
Charles Ba+eman Hanbury.
The prosecutor is a lieutenant in the 2d Life
Guards, and the prisoner was his servant. On the
Ist of August, Lieut. Hanbury went on leave, and
returned on the 4th of November. Th 3 prisoner
was left in charge of his wardrobe, but during his
absence he purloined a great variety of articles of
clothing, the gold lace fr.m his uniform, two guns,
a violin, opera-glass, and altogether of the value of
2501. The prisoner absented himself from barracks
until the 7th, when the pro=ecwor saw him iu the
yard, and asked him what he had to say for him-
self ? He said he was very sorry, and told where
he had pawned the property. The prisoner had
been twenty-one years in the regiment, and sewn
and a half the prosecutor's servant, great confidence
being reposed in him.

The court sentenced him to be kept to hard
labour for one year.
Lieutenant Hanbury stated that there were two
other John Scotts in the regiment, young soldiers
of very good character, and be was anxious, on
their account, that it should not be supposed thlt
either of them was the John Scott who had been
guilty of this dishonesty. The distinction between
them was, that they were young men, while the
prisoner was an old soldier, having been in the ser-
vice over twenty years.
Edward Scott, a well-known thief, was indicted
for stealing a basket containing a number of plated
articles, value 51., the property of John Stratford
Best. His last sentence was twelve months. Lie

counsel for the prisoner. _

The prisoner commlted three offences charged

before.

Mr. Creasy sentenced her to eight months' hard
labour.

a lady named Mayhew, for the silk in question,
stating that she had been sent forit by-Mrs. Tully.

employment. Mrs. Tully had nog given her auy
authority to go for the silk.

The pr-ison:r wis found Gulty, and sentenced

POLICE LYTELLIG ENCE.—Dac. 22.

MANSION-HOUSE.—The Rev. Mr. May, the
head master of the Brewers' Company's School,
Tower-hill, appeared before the Lord Mayor to
answer a charge preferred against him of having
unlawfully assaulted and beaten John Henry
Grossmith, of the Three Tuns Inn, Jewry-street,
Aidg4te.

Daniels appeared for the prosecution; Mr.
Ho bier for the defence.

The justice-room was crowded, and very great
interest was excited during the investigation. The
defendant pleaded "Not guilty."
John 11. Grossmith said—l am ten years and a
half old, and go to the defendant's school, at No.
9, Tower-hill. Last Friday I was sent to sch 'Ol
at about half past 3by my mother's desire. I ivis
de:aiued at home till that hour, and took a note
from my mother to him, and I bdieve he read it.
He said it was nothing about going home. 1 had
told him that my mother ha I sent a note about my
going home. He told me to go to my place and work,
and I made an attempt to run out of school, because
my mother had told me to come home. I had no
other reason. I went towards the door with the
intention of leaving the school, and I was follow,-0
by Mr. Cattermole (one of the ether masters), who
brought me back into the school. I did. not use
any improper language to him. Mr. May then told
me to come to him and he would cane me. I went
to him, and he caned me. He did not say anything
nor did I. He caned me on the thighs. It took
about ten minutes. I asked him to forgive me. I
said, " Forgive me—l did not mean to do it ;" and
he kept on caning me. I went to my place. I
saw afterwards that my trowsers had a hole in them
from the effects of the cane. I stayed at the school
about three-quarters of an hour, and then went home.
I felt a little difficulty in going home. I saw my
mother, who examined me and sent for a doctor.

Cross-examinedby Mr. Nobler—l saw my mother
write the letter produced. It is as follows :—" Sir,
I have kept my son at home for a few hours, re-
quiring him particularly.—M. GROSSMITII. Dec.
18, 1857." I hal been complained of for keeping
from school. My master did not tell me to bring
the note—my mother sent me with the note. I
told my master that my mother told me to go hom,.
There was a scuffle between Mr. Cattermole and me
when I stopped. School breaks up at half-past 4.
.1 don't know how Mr. Cattermole got struck unles3
it was with the satchel I had with me.

Mrs. Grossmith, the mother of the boy, said—l
sent-a note by my son on Friday, and told him to
give it to his master, and bring back his books as it
was so late. I had forgot to mention in the note for
him to come home, and so I sent that as a message
by my son. I saw him when he came home. He had
his head forward, and he staggered across the bar to
me and began to cry. I said, "John, you have been
punished." He was very pallid. He brought the fol-
lowing note with him from Mr. May .—" Tower-
hill Grammar School, Dec. 18, 1857. Sir —I have
frequently complained of your son being fate in his
attendance at school. He always tells me it has
not been his fault. He tells me so again to-day
for being late both morning and afternoon, the
second time, notwithstanding my remonstrances to
him. I mentioned the case at' the court last Fri-
day, and they requested me to be very strict in re-
quiring punctuality from him, and in punishing
when failing therein. The register shows his regu-
lar absence. This afternoon, as soon as ho came,
he wanted to go home again on pretence that his
mother told him to do so ; the nay sent with him
being thus :—' Sir,—l have kept my sou at horno
for a few hours, requiring him particularly.--M.
GItOSSMITH.' And in no way making mention of
his return. On my showing him this and telling
him to go to his place and work, be ran off to get
away and would not c.une back when called, and
when Mr. eattermule' the master, was asked to
fetch him he struck and kicked him, for all which
he has been severely canal, and I etnuA for r.no
moment allow snail fllgrant disobedieneo. Had I
thought that he had struck- his ina,,,t(.l. inteiOionaPy
ho would have been visited with far mere severs
punishment. I must now again request his regular
and punctual attendance, otherwise the court have
requested me to bring it officially before their
notice, and I shall not fail to do so. The result will
be altogether your own fault.—l big to remain, sir,
yours obediently,
"ED. JNo. MAY, M A., Head Master.
" To Mr. Grossmith."
The witness here slated that the boy, who was a
delicate child, had been before punished by the
un•ler master.

sir. S&ltterie, a liemtiate of' the Apothe6ari,s'

Company,. resident. in Jewry-street, said—l was
called to examine John H. Grossmith between six
and seven o'clock in-the evening of Friday. He
came hobhjing in, evidently suffering from some-
thiiig which 'prevented his walking straight. I
examined his-legs, and counted about twenty most
severe contusions, one almost through the skin. I
directed that he should go to bld directly and keep
perfectly quiet. The blows appear to have been
very severe. There would have been a less ap-
pearance had he been a stronger boy. The marks
may be visible a week or ten days to come.
Cross-examined by Mr. Nobler The marks
were on the thighs, just under the buttocks. It is
`not the usual place.
Mr. Hobler—The boy, my lord, has been con-
stantly
habitstaying ahvwaayin and he has been constantly
nthe g in the rudest manner in
the school.

The Lord Mayor—But I do not consider this
(pointing to a long and rather thick cane which
was exhibited) a fit instrument for the punish-
ment of a boy of the age of 10 years and a half.
Mr. Hobler said there were present the fathers
of several of the boys who were under instruction
in the school, and they, and their boys, many of
whom were in attendance, were ready to prove
thatilthe defendant was admired and respected for
his judgment and humanity. The general con-
duct of the boy, too, would be described.
The Lord Mayor—l really would rather leave it
to another court to decide whether a man is justi-
fied in using such an instrument in punishing a
child. I saw the boy's person when the summons
was applied for, and certainly criminals who have
been flogged in Newgate have not shown such
evidence of punishment. I observed, toe, that
the punishment had not been inflicted on the part
to which it is usually applied in the case of boys.
I believe that a great deal more can be done in
schools by the exercise of another sort of au'hority.
Others are of a different opinion, but corporal
Punishment appears to me to be peculiarly objec-
tionable except in instances of uncontrollable vice.
The question bere is whether unnecessary violence
has been used, and as the character of the school is
concerned, I would wish the case to be sent to the
sessions. I am perfectly aware of the respecta-
bility of Mr. May, and the estimation in which he
is held, and I dare say he has no objection to go
before another tribnnal.

Mr. May—Certainly not, my lord, but I wish to
say a few words. This has been simply an ex parte
statement, and I wish to say something on the op-
posite side. Your lordship has not heard anything
of the gross insolence of that boy to me t'eforehand7
I will merely state that hero are a number of the
boys present who witnessed the whole transaction,
excepting the kicking and striking Mr. Cat-erroole,
which took place in the passage. Mr. Cattermole's
face still bears the marks of the boy's violence.
Hero are present a number of the fathers of the
boys to testify as to their opinion of the system
pursued, and a number of the o'der boys who have
left the school, and to give their opinion as to whe-
ther I am cruel or kind to the boys.
The Lord Mayor—ls the practice of caning the
boys sanctioned by the authorities /
Mr. May—Certainly.
Mr. Grossmith said he was perfectly satisfied with
what hid fallen from the Lord Mayor on the sub-
ject, and had no desire to ptoceel any further in
the matter. He wou'd therefore willingly drop the
prosecution if Mr. May would make a concession to
the ext?nt of expressing his regret for the severity
of the infliction.
Mr. May siid he could not for a moment think of
making an apology for the course he had pursued.
The Lord Mayor—l am sure it is better to take
the case to the quarter sessions, and I shall te Llad
to have the responsibility taken off my shoulders.
The Rev. Mr. May was then bound over in his
own reco,zni,ances to the amount of 101. to appear
at the next quarter sessions to answer the accu-a-
tion, and Mr. Grossinith was bound over to prose-
cute.

The Lord Mayor—l saw that you had a great
deal of trouble with him. Take him to the union,
and tlie authoritie3 there will take care that
the East India Company send him home, ac-
cording to the act, as soar' as possible. We
can scud all persons of this deicription home, and
that will be a great relief to the public thorough-
fareg.

Jas. Hordin was charged with having stolen a
hamper containing linen and bread.
'Watkins (a detective officer) said—Last evening
I saw this man go to a truck on which was a ham-
per, and after throwing a smock frock over the
hamper ho took it up and we tt down a lane with

Timothy Crowe was charged with haring stolen a
beer-barrel, the property of Messrs. Thorne, the
brewers. _ _ _

a Mr. Chancey to get discounted, and afterwards
authorised Mr. Chancey to entrust it to the pri-
soner. Tho latter had several times written to
him saying that he had been unable to get it dis-
c minted. He ha'l since wee' tained, however, that it
had been discount° Iby a Mr. Leo. It had been
taken up by afriend of his; Mr. Banks, whose name
was upon it. Witnees had never received any money
from defendant on account of the bill, though he
had on one occasion borrowed 1/. of him.
Defendant called the Mr. Chancey referred to,
who deposed that complainant had in his prevince
authorised defendant to obtain an advance on the
birl, and had subsequently received from deft ndant
a 20/. note, and some other sums.
Defendant then procee led to cross-examine the
complainant, and elicited that he had very recently
ris.ed through the Insolvent Court. He did not
enter this bill in his schedule, as he bad received
no money for it. He had been arrested en another
bill, also signed by Mr. Banks, who, however, did
not pay it, because it was signe I when be was a
minor, and he had receivel no money for it. Seve-
ral judgments against Mr. Banks bad been set
aside ou the ground that he was in his minority
when the debts were alleged to h ‘vely3en contracted.
Mr. Chancey
observed that he had received letters
from an attorney threatening criminal proceedings,

apparently to his satisfaction. He was with defend-
ant that afternoon, when theymet the complainant
with a friend, to whom he pointed them out as
"swindlers." Defendant called a policeman to pro-
tect them, and thencomplainant gave him in custody

Mr. Jardine said there was no evidence to justify
him in remanding
the defendant to prison.
Mr. Hughes, solicitor, here addressed the magis-
trate on behalf of Mr. Courtenay, grandson of the

OLE EtKEN WELL.—Ellen Ernmerson, aged 29,
who refused her address, was CbargEa with stealing

a female child named Johanna Richardson, about
11 montl a old.

It appeared from the evidence that the mother
of the child had been a w dow for about three years
—but, as she herself stated, "had unfortunately
had a chance or love child." The prisoner, who was
also suckling a child, undertook for a small daily
recompense to mind the prosecutrix's child while
she went ost to work. On the day on which the
child was stolen the prisoner asked the mother to
return as early as she could in the evening, 'but upon
her doing so she found the child and the prisoner
gone. Nothing could be seen of the prisoner or
child' until last evening, when the prisoner was given
into custody. On her way to the police-station she
informed the constable that the child was dead, and
bad been buried in the Victoria-park Cemetery.
She also stated that she took the child because a
gentleman was allowing ber ss. per weekfor it. The
constable had made inquiries of a surgeon at Spital-
fields, who informed him that he attended a child
of the name of Richardson, for the prisoner, and
that after a short illness it died of the measles, but
the prosecutrix now stated that that could not be
her infant, as it had already had that disvaae, and
someparties had recently seen it alive in the care of
the prisoner.
Police constable Cook, 198 S, informed the court
that on the same week another child bad been
stolen, and no trace could be found of that.

The prisoner, in defence, did not deny taking
the child, but said it was now dead and buried.

Mr. Conic, remanded the prisoner for a week.
Philip M'Guiness, a poor dirty-looking boy, only
six years of age, residing at 17, Short's-gardens,
Drury-lane, was placed at the bar before Mr.
Corrie, charged with teloniously cutting and
wounding John Hall, an errand boy, living with
his mother, at 3, Bryan-street, Caledonian road.
From the evids i co it appeared that when the
offence was committed the mother of the prisonee
was charged with being drunk and creating a
turbance in the Pentonville-road. A mob bad
collected r( and the woman, and when the pi ose-
cutor, who was only about nine years of age, went
near her, be said to his companion, " Oh, it is only
a drunken woman, :et's go on." The words were
no sooner out of his mouth than the prisoner in the
most determined manner, rushed at him with an
open knife, and stabbNd the prosecutor in the
shoulder. The injured boy ran away, when he was
pursued by the prisoner and again stabbed in the
ribs, and became so weak from loss of blood that he
fainted away. Police-constable Holloway, 197 G,
then came up, and took the prisoner into custody,
and having conveyed the pi osecutor to a surgeon's
was informed that if the stab in the ribs had been
a little lower, death might have ensued. The
prosecutor was so weak that he was unable to go to
his work, and in answer to Mr. Currie, said that he
now felt much better, but was still very weak,-
The mother of the prisoner, a low, sottish-looking
woman, fell upon her knees, and begged for mercy
" for hor poor, innocent, and blessed child."
Mr. Cori ie said if it bad not been for the drunken
and dissolute habits of the mother, the prisoner
would not have gob into the trouble. After
censuring a boy for using a knife, and cautioning
him how he did so in future, be discharged him.
He then directed the mother of the prosecutor to
send him the doctor's bill, which be would pay out
of the funds of the poor-box, as well as allow him
something for his loss of time.

HEALTH OF LONDON DURI.VO THE WEEK.

(From the Report of the Registrar General.)

The deaths registered in London, which were
1,423 in the first week of the. current month, and
fell to 1,240 in the second, were in the week that
ended last Saturday (December 19th) 1,234. In
the ton years 1847-56 the average number of deaths
in the weeks corresponding with last week was
1,249, which if raised in proportion to increase
of population (to admit of comparison with last
week's return) will become 1,374. In the third
week of December, 1847, influenza raised the deaths
from all causes to 1,946, and consequently, to
some extent, augments the average which is now
given ; and if this element is eliminated from
the calcula.ion, it will bo found that the present
rate of mortality approximates very nearly to that
which is to bo expected towards the close of the
year. _ _ _

That those pulmonary complaints (the result of
influenz ti which lately swelled the mortality con-
tinue to grow less Mil appears from comparing the
facts of the last two weeks ; the deaths from
diseases of the respiratory organs (exclusive of
phthisis) were in the previous week 336. last week
they were 298 ; in the former week those from
bronchitis were 185, last week they were 159 ;
while pneumonia declined from 119 to 107, and
ca._es, in which influenza is specially mentioned,
from 19 to 15. The fluctuations in the mortality
from phthisis (or consumption) are apparently not
ruled by the same atmospheric conditions, fur the
deaths from that disease rose in the two weeks
from 114 to 161. In the same periods hooping-
cough was fatal in 47 and 48 cases.
On reference to the zymotic class of diseases it
will be seen with satisfaction that small-pox con-
tinues to exhibit a mortality singularly small in a
population so large ; the deaths in the present re •
turn are '3, and since the present year began the
weekly average has been only 3. Last week measles,
Ecarlatina, abd hooping-cough produced very similar
numerical results, for the first was fatal in 45 cases, ,
and each of the two latter in 48. Fourteen young
children died of croup ; 13 persons of diarrbcea,
two of whom were children in a family
20, Canal-road, Haggerstone West, and bad
been surrounded by circumstances of insa;u-
brity which, if correctly described, are sufficient
to account for any amount of diarrhea,. amongst
petsons so unfavourably situated. Three children
died of measles in Plums'ead, where it has been
prevalent lately ; in a family of five children
in that locality three have died of the complaint,
and two others are dangerously ill. The medical
attendant considers that the extreme severity of the
disease in this case is due to, the bad condition of
the premises.
Of three nonagenarians whose deaths are returned
a woman was 90 years of age, a man in Poplar 94,
and a widow who died in Albion-terrace, Lime-
house, was 96.
La=t week the births of 936 boys and 891 girls,
in all 1,830 children, were registered in London.
In the tea corresponding weeks (f the years 1847-
56 the average number was 1,503.
