in Hamburg.

It is stated that the report of the directors of the
Bank of Turkey, which was to have been issued
some time since, has been delayed in consequence of
the non-arrival of the official proposition of the

;hut there is no real friendship for all this shaking of

The defective joints of the gas-mains lead to the enormous
leakage just described, and the escaped gas, by its action on
the street-earth, destroys water-pipes in a few years that
ought to last for a century. Apart from the foul condition
of the London street-earth, we are all interested in saving
this escaped gas and this destroyed pipeage, for our gas
bills include the cost of the one, and our water bills the cost
of the other. While the water-pipes are softened, and the
gas penetrates the tubes, the water is also adulterated with
an undrinkable mixture. I have heard of a letter addressed
to a leading water company, which ran somewhat in this
form :____" Mr. Blank presents his compliments to the Blank
Company, and wishes to know whether they supply gas or
water. Mr. Blank is led to make this inquiry, because one
of his servants went to the cistern with a pitcher and a can •
die, and instead of procuring water, she blew up the roof of

31IDDLESE1 SESSIONS.—(This Day.)

(Before the Assistant Judge.)

James Simmons was indicted for stealing a silver watch,
the property of a gentleman named Turner.
The jury found the prisoner guilty, and he was sentenced
to two years' imprisonment with hard labour.
Charles Turnpenny was indicted for feloniously assault-
ing police-constable Dilling, 98 G.
From the evidence it appeared that while the prisoner
Simmonds was being conveyed to the station in charge of
police-constable Dilling, Turnpenny, who was associated
with the prisoner, attempted to incite him to escape. Fail-
ing in this he retired, and police-constable 211 G saw him
pick up a stone and deliberately throw it at Dilling. The
stone struck the constable on the forehead, and inflicted a
severe wound.

The jury found the prisoner guilty.
The Assistant-Judge said it was a very cowardly offence,
and sentenced the prisoner to two years' imprisonment with
hard labour.

Two men, named Johnson and Smith, were indicted for
stealing a neckcloth value M.
The prisoners, in attempting to dispose of the property,
were taken into custody on suspicion of having stolen the
cloth, which turned out to be true.
The jury found both prisoners guilty.
There was another indictment for felony against Smith,
to which he pleaded guilty.
The Assistant .Judge asked whether anything was known
against the prisoners.
Against Johnson nothing was said, but Smith, the learned
judge was informed, had previously been convicted for steal-
ing 1131bs. of lead from the Orphan Working School, and
which only expired last year.
The
for which offence he was sentenced to seven years'
learnedtrans-
portation,
Judge said it appeared more than likely that
Johnson had been the tool of the elder prisoner, and that
being his opinion he Was induced to take a lenient view of
the case as far as he was concerned, and he should only sen-
tence him to six months' imprisonment. With respect to
Smith he had no hesitation in sentencing him to eight years'
penal servitude,
