MARLBOROUGH-STREET,

EXTINGUISHING STREET LAMPS.—TWO respectable.
looking lads, named George Thompson and Thos. Saunders,
were charged by Sergeant Watts, E division, with extin-
guishing street lamps in Cleveland-street.

In answer to the charge, one lad said that he shook the
pipe against the wall and the light went out, and believing
that he had not done it he tried a second one, and that also
went out.

Mr. Mansfield fined them 10s. each.
- -

MAKING AWAY WITH WORK MATERIALS.—WiIIiam
Davis, a shoemaker, was brought up and remanded,
charged with making away with some materials entrusted
to him to make up by Mr. Garner, bootmaker, of 368,
Oxford-street.

Mr. Garner said he had no doubt that if the prisoner was
remanded other manufacturers would have charges against
the prisoner, as he had found some materials at the pri-
soner's lodgings with different names on them.
STEALING A REVOLVER.—Wm. Norcott, 41, Grove-
street, Camden-town, was charged with stealing a revolver
of the value of £3, the property of Mr. James Woodward,
of 64, St. James's-street.

Some evidence being given, Brown, 304 A, said he wished
for a remand, as he believed there would be several other
cases against the prisoner—one where he had. stolen a rifle.
The prisoner was remanded till Wednesday.
BOBBIN( A STATION-MASTER.—Mary Ann Jackson, a
young unfortunate, was charged 7; ith stealing a purse con-
taining the sum of a 10s., the t2.,roperty of Mr. John Webber,
Chegwidden, West Drayton,
station-master.
Mullord, the officer, said the prosecutor was in court but
would not prosecute.

Mr. Mansfield said then he hoped the girl would punish
him for bringing her there and charging her.
The prisoner was then discharged.

THAMES,
SAVAGE ASSAULT UPON A WOMAN BY A PUGILIST.
—George King, a rough, burley, and dissipated-looking
man, about 35 years of age, was brought before Mr. Selfe
charged with committing a violent assault on Emma Lan-
caster, a young married woman.
The complainant, whose mouth was cut, and her chin and
face bruised, said that she went to the Watney Arms pub-
lic- house, in Watney-street, Commercial-road, in search of
her husband, last night. The prisoner was there fighting
with some men, who were frightfully cut about. She
uttered some exclamation, and said " Oh, what a shocking
thing ii is," when the prisoner attacked her with
great fury, knocked her down twice, and kicked
her. She was in great pain all night, and the marks on
her face were produced by the blows- inflicted upon her.
Another woman was also struck by the prisoner and
knocked down by him.

The prisoner—Why, it was only three weeks ago I locked
up a man myself for hitting a woman in a van. The pri-
soner then went on to state that he had to defend himself
against several men who fastened a quarrel upon him and
beat him. In the struggle the women came towards him
and were shoved down by one person or other, and fell in
the gutter.

Robert Norreys, a seaman, stated that he saw the com-
plainant either struck or pushed down by the prisoner.
Police-constable Drew, No. 68 K, said that he heard cries
of murder this morning between 12 and 1 o'clock, and upon
going to the Watney Arms he saw several men and women
on the ground, and complainant was among them.
Mr. Selfe—What is the prisoner ?
Inspector Griffin, of the K division, said the prisoner was
a pugilist.

The prisoner—Yes, I knock men about, but I don't beat
women. He then called George Crockett, who did not

answer.

Mr. Griffin—Crockett is also a pugilist.

Thomas Sellons, an ex-publican and lodging- house
keeper, was called by the prisoner, who said he was outside
the Watney Arms and never saw the complainant pushed
down.

Mr. Selfe—The prisoner has ill used the complainant in
a brutal manner and knocked her down. I fine the prisoner
40s. or three weeks imprisonment.

EXECUTION OF MASTERSON.

(THIS DAY.)

The execution of Peter Masterson, who was convicted at
the last session of the Central Criminal Court, before Mr.
Justice Blackburn, of murder, took place this morning at
Maidstone. The convict, it will be recollected, was a pri-
vate in the Royal Artillery, stationed at Woolwich. He
was taken into custody by the picket for being drunk and
disorderly in the town, and brought to the guardroom,
where the deceased, who was a sergeant in the same
regiment, was engaged in the performance of his duty
of entering the charges that were made against the
different soldiers who had been misconducting themselves,
and upon his asking the prisoner his name he made
use of very bad language, and refused to tell
.him, and
he was ordered to another part of the guardroom, appro-
priated to military offenders. Here he contrived to get
possession of an iron bar that was used as a poker, a very
heavy and dangerous instrument, and then made his way
stealthily to the place where the sergeant was sitting, and
while in the act of stooping forward, writing, he struck
him a tremen ions blow on the back of the head, which
fractured hfs skull, and caused almost immediate death.
Masterson was only 22 years old, an Irishman and a Ro-
man Catholic, and since he had been. in Maidstone Gaol
had been visited constantly by Father Emmanuel, a priest
of that persuasion. The prisoner for a considerable time
appeared very hardened, and not to entertain the least idea
of the awful character of his crime or the dreadful sentence
that awaited him, but upon being informed that the day
was fixed for his execution, and there was no longer any
hope for him in this world, he became slightly affected,
and since then he appeared to be sensible of his awful
position.
