MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.—March 7.

The March General Sessions of the Peace for the
county of Middlesex commenced yesterday morning
at Clerkenwell.

John Carr, 40, engineer, was indicted for stealing
a quantity of brass and German silver, value 10s.,
the property of Alexander Clark, his master.
Mr. Cooper prosecuted; Mr. Metcalfe defended
the prisoner.
It appeared that the prosecutor is a brass-
worker, in Gate-street, Lincoln's-inn-fields, and
the prisoner, who is said to be a very clever work-
man, was charged, upon the evidence principally
of two fellow servants, one of whom admitted that
angry words had passed between him and the pri-
soner, with having stolen brass from the premises.
Some brass was found at his lodgings, which was
identified, but by marks which had been put upon
it by the prisoner himself, and it was suggested
that it had been given to the prisoner to work up
into patterns by a deceased brother of the prosecu-
tor's, and that there was a strong feeling against
the prisoner, on which this accusation of felony had
originated.
The learned Judge then left the case to the jury,
though Mr. Metcalfe contended that legally it had
failed.
The learned counsel then addressed the jury upon
the evidence.

The prisoner was acquitted.
THE QUEEN V. BENNETT AND OTHERS.

The grand jury returned true bills of indictment
against John Gibson Bennett, William Alfred Ben-
nett, Henry Lee Bennett, John Nichol Waters, and
Abraham Haynes, charged with conspiring to
defraud, and other misdemeanours. _

The defendants are the persons who figured in
the proceedings at Bow-street police-court on Sa-
turday. Haynes, it was stated, was an attorney,
the others professed to cure deafness.
(Before Mr. Payne.)
Jacob Davis, alias Farren, 56, dealer, was in-
dicted for stealing, and also for feloniously receiv-
ing, 11 watches, the property of George Wilkshire,
and Caroline Parker, 28, surrendered to take her
trial with Davis on the same charge.
Mr. Cooper prosecuted; Mr. Sleigh defended
Parker, Mr. Ribton was eounsel for Davis.
The prosecutor is a jeweller and watchmaker,
carrying on business in the Whitechapel-road, and,
during the night of the 12th of January, his shop
was entered through a wall three feet thick in the
cellar, by some person from the adjoining premises,
and watches and jewellery to the amount of £675
stolen. The male prisoner was subsequently found
by police-constable Deeble, in Commercial-street,
in possession of some of the watches, and one was
found in the possession of Parker, with whom
he lodged at 2, Arundel-place, Waterloo-town,
but she said he had given it her as a present.
There is another prisoner for trial, charged with
being concerned in the same transaction.
The police stated that the premises from which
the entry was made, were used as a " penny gaff,"
and the making of a hole through a wall of such
thickness—three feet of solid masonry—sufficient
to admit of persons getting through, had necessarily
been a task of difficulty, and had taken a good deal
of time and labour. It required a good deal of
caution to prevent the noise of the chisels which
were used being heard.
The jury acquitted the woman and found Davis
guilty.
Mr. Payne sentenced him to 18 months' hard
labour.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—March 7.

CLERKENWELL.—CharIes Davis, 57, a rough
dote ined-looking fellow, described on the charge-
sheet as a smith, was placed at the bar before Mr.
Corrie, charged with attempting to murder his wife,
Sarah Davis, by cutting and wounding her with a
bill-hook in Northampton-street, Clerkeuwell.
The prosecutrix was unable to attend, and it was
stated that she was so ill that the surgeons at St.
Bartholomew's Hospital despaired of her life being
saved, owing to the severe nature of the wounds she
had received. From the evidence of the police, it
appeared that about one o'clock on Sunday morning,
cries of "Murder" were heard proceeding from the
prisoner's apartment, and upon proceeding there
they found the prisoner drunk, and the poor woman
in an insensible state, with several severe cuts
on the back of the head,C which the prisoner had
inflicted with a billhook. The billhook, when dis-
covered by the police, was covered with blood. The
police at once procured assistance for the poor
Woman, and took the prisoner to the station. The
injured woman, it was stated, was quite sober.
The prisoner, in defence, did not deny the charge;
but said his wife was very aggravating—tore his
waistcoat and shirt, and "otherwise exasperated
him."
Mr. Corrie remanded the prisoner for a week,
and, owing to the serious nature of the charge.,
said he should decline to accept bail for the pri-
soner's appearance.

LAMBETH.—SamueI Ball, John Morley, and
Samuel Low, privates in the Grenadier. Guards, and
very powerful men, were charged before • Mr.
Elliott with the commission of a most violent out-
rage in the Lower Marsh, Lambeth, and severely
assaulting the police and other persons.

they occasionally sallied out and
Se-rval respectable persons. The ,
beat perceiving their disposition to g,
open riot, sent to the station for assistance, and two
or three-constables came. The soldiers perceiving
the approach of the constables, instantly slipped off
their belts, and, .arming themselves with these for-
midable weapons, rushed into the street. The first
egdet of :their attack was James Brown, a butcher,
who was standing at his master's shop, and the
prisoner Ball having rushed at him struck him a
violent blow on the mouth, ancl, as he described
himself, knocked him down " like a bullock." The
police came to his rescue and a desperate conflict
ensued. The 501di,,7 - shed at every one indiscri•
minately who , their way, and the police
being compelled in self defence to draw and use
their staves two of the prisoners, Ball and Morley,
received some awkward knocks and cuts on their
heads. Three constables in return got most roughly
treated (185, 139, and 256 L), and appeared much
injured, cut, and kicked. In reply to
.a question
from the magistrate, Sergeant Knowles said that
the outrage had lasted half ah hotr,- during which
the prisoners struck every one who came before
them, and he had no doubt that a number of per-
sons had received, injuries who had not yet come
forward. -
Mr. Elliot remanded the prisoners for a week.

WOOLWICH. Phoebe Ladd, a good-looking
and well-dressed young woman, 19 years of age,
and residing at Bexley, Kent, was charged with
cutting and wounding Joseph Kippax, a draper,
residing in the Blackfriars-road, and afterwards
attempting to commit suicide.
The injured main: was accustomed to visit the
prisoner at Bexley, and called upon her as usual
on. Friday. On the following morning he made
known to her that for the future his visits would
cease, when, in a moment of excitement, she seized
a knife and stabbed him in the chest, afterwards
attempting similar injury to her own person, the
instrument being diverted by coming in contact
with her stays: •
Police-sergeant Ellis handed in a medical cer-
tificate to his worship, which stated that the in-
jured man had-received two deep wounds in the
chest, and that it would be some days before he
would be able to attend.

The prisoner. who appeared to feel deeply th•
position in which she was placed, was remanded
tbr a week.

EXTRAORDINARY OUTRAGE BY THE
CREW 0.1" A BRITISII GUN-BOAT.

A disgraceful riot, accompanied with serious
destruction of property, appears to have been per-
petrated at the island of St. Vincent, British West
Indies, by the crew of one of her Majesty's gun-
boats. A large body of liberty men from her Ma-
jesty's ship Jasper were on shore, and avowed their
intention of having come for the purpose of exe-
cuting vengeance upon the person and property of
Mr. Abbott, the printer and publisher of the Mir-
ror, on account of some article reflecting on the
crew of the Jasper, which had been published in a
late copy of that paper. The Lieutenant-Governor
remonstrated with the men and organised special
constables, and for a time restrained them. He
writes in his memorandum :—" About dusk a large
body of the Jasper's men, accompanied by some
other sailors from the vessels in harbour, marzhed
in a body, with formidable bludgeons in their h ands,
up the back street, and evidently bent on carry-
out their threat of destroying Mr. Abbott's pre-
mises. I placed myself in their way, and endeavoured
to induce them to retire, but in vain. Rushing past
me, they took possession of the place, and soon made
it a complete ruin. Feeling that, whilst thus ex-
cited, they might carry out the rest of their threat
and attack the police-station to get at Mr. Abbott,
who was obliged to take refuge there, I directed
the bugle to be sounded, and the volunteers mus-
tered for the protection of the station, if necessary.
A considerable number attended, and were kept
under arms for some time, but were subsequently
dismissed upon no attack on the station taking
place. In the meantime, the sailors having executed
their purpose, were returning through the to.wri
with a large and naturally very excited crowd fol-
lowing them. Some rioting occurred, stones were
thrown, and several persons injured, but no lives
were lost. At a later period the sailors again sallied
forth to complete the work of destruction they had
begun at Mr. Abbott's premises ; and his printing-
press, furniture, and other property were destroyed,
after which the sailors again returned to drink."
The Lieut.-Governor has written to Lieut Pym,
commanding the Jasper, requesting him to aflord
facilities for identifying the men.

METROPOLITAN RAILWAY BILLS, 4-c.

The copies issued yesterday of Admiralty reports
under the Parliamentary Inquiries Act include vari-
ous metropolitan schemes.

To the West London Railway Bill their lordships
assent on the following conditions :—" That the
viaduct across the river Thames be only constructed
on plans previously approved of by their lordships,
and with such headway and waterway as their lord-
ships may require. With respect to the branch ter-
minating on the north bank of the river Thames,
and the entrance from the river to the proposed
dock near the same place, their lordships have to
require that no works projecting into the river
below high water mark be executed except on plans
submitted to and approved of by the Admiralty."
To the Victoria Station and Pimlico Railway
Bill their lordships assent, on the °audition that no
alteration be made in the structure from the plan
already sanctioned, without the further consent of
the Admiralty.

In the case of the North London, Paddington,
Richmond, Hampton Court, and Kingston
Railway Bill, their lordships have only to
require " that the bridges or viaducts crossing
the Thames be constructed on such plans
and under such conditions as their lordships shall
require, and with such headway and waterway as
they may think necessary." A similar report is
made in the cases of the South Metropolitan and
Westminster Station Bill ; and the Victoria Station
and North-Western and Great Western Junction
Railway Bill. With respect to Branch No. 2 in
the latter bill, their lordships require that no works
below high-water mark of the Thames shill be
constructed without their sanction.
Of the West London and Pimlico Railway Bill,
the report says :—" Their lordships consider it
very objectionable in principle to carry a railway
along the banks of a navigable river for such a,
distance, but still more so in respect to the Thames,
and in the metropolis, and in this case the more sor
as not permitting of passages being formed either
over or under the railway. Their lordships further
object to the railway being carried for such a dis-
tance within the banks of the river, and occupying
so much water frontage, and therefore must with-
hold their assent to the portion of the line extending
beyond the first one mile and three-quarters."

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—ThorIey's Food for Cattle is now
beginning to seriously attract the attention of the farmer,
breeder,-and feeder of stock.. Two years of unremitting
care and attention have enabled its inventor to take. high
ground as a benefactor to these interests; and notwithstand-
ing the many drawbacks, the malevolent shafts hurled
against it and its probable utility, the food, from its admitted
_value, will become a necessity to the agricultural interest.
Experience has proved, first, that it affects a considerable
saving in the consumption of provender ; secondly, that it
produces health and vigour in all animals subjected to its
influence : and lastly, increases in a remarkable degree an
early development of fat. Mr. Thorley, originating this
singularly efficacious food, aimed at a compound calculated
to supersede, to a certain extent, the tedious and expensive
mode then prevailing of fattening stall7fed beasts. In this
he happily succeeded ; and success prompted a very ntattur adesire to imrove on the invention so as to make
