CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.
OLD COURT.

(Bef)re Mr. JUStiCO PATTESON, Mr. Justice TLLFOUBD,
and Mr. Baron ALDERSON.)
The second editi:m of the calendar rras published this
morning. It cmtains the names of 155, being 25 more
than api:( aced in the former edition.

THE 'CASE OF WALTER WATTS.—The ATTORNEY•
GENERAL wished to know if it were the pleasure ef the
Court to give judgment in the case (I Welter Watts,
who had been convicted of stealing a piece of paper from
the Globe Insurance Company. There were other
charges against the prisoner, but as he was anxious to
save the time of the Court and the public,';and if their
Lordships would first look over the depositions in ti .e
other cases before passing sentence, he should not feel
it necessary to proceed with the other indictments. lf,
however, the sentence now to be pronounced, would
only have reference to the single offence of which the
prisoner had b...en convicted, then he should feel it to
be his duty to press the other charges.
Mr. Baron ALDERSON said, he wished to consult the
other Learned Judge who assisted in trying the case be-
fore he pronounced judgment on the prisoner, as he did
not concur in the view which had been taken of the
case. The judgment, however, he might state, must
Le pronounced upon the indictment charging the pri-
soner with stealing a piece of paper of trifling value.
No doubt that was not all the crime he had been guilty
of, but still the Court could only deal with that offence
which had been specifically established against the
prisoner.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, under the circumstances,
would rt quest the Court to postpone passing sentence.
Mr. Baron ALDERSON acceded to this application,
and the prisoner, who had been brought up in cus-
tody, was removed from the bar.
THE ASSAULT ON THE QUEEN.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said there was a case in
the calendar involving a charge of assault upon her Ma-
jesty the Queen. The prisoner's name was Pate, and
it would be convenient to all parties if the Court would
fix the trial for the first thing to morrow morning.
The Court granted the application.
RAPE.— William Avery, aged 17, described as a brick-
maker, was indicted for committing a rape on Susannah
Saunders.

Mr. Payne proseanted, and Mr. Carter defended the
prisoner. _

The prisoner lived next door to the prosecutrix, a girl
16 years of age, at West Drayton, and the offence was
alleged to have been committed in a neighbouring brick-
field, on Saturday three week', the 15th of June. There
was, however, something about the subs, quent conduct
of the prosecutrix, which would induce a belief that
the connexion had not been so compulsory as she would
have it supposed. On reaching home after the oc-
currence, she told her mother that she had been " up-
set by a chap," but it was not until she discovered on
the Monday morning that a third party had been a
passive witness of the whole affair, who made a joke of
it amongst the companions of the prosecutrix, that she
preferred this accusation against the prisoner, who had
previously passed as her sweetheart.
The jury therefore found the prisoner Not Guilty, and
he was at once liberated.

BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
Thomas Laidlaw, a young man about twenty years of
age, and very respectably attired, was placed at the bar
be fJrac.Mr. d'ardine,,chargcd,vtith attempting to murder
a female ith 'whom he cohabited.
"Toted Donrs, drummer in the Coldstream Guards,
deposed that last evening he was present at a concert at
the Assembly-rooms, Princes-street, Drury-lane. The
prisoner and the Jennie were part of the company. Wit-
ness heard the prisoner call the female, whose name is
Cgtherine Vitch, a "street walker," to which she replied,
"If I am, you made me so." The prisoner said, angrily,
" What ?—s :y that again." She repeated the words,
and he struck her. The female screamed out "I'm
stabbed! I'm stabbed!" Witness ran up to her and
found blood issuing from a severe wound on the left
breast. The prisoner here darted out of the room and
witness followed him. While in Princes-street the
prisoner threw away the knife with which he stabbed
his victim, and witness pinked it up. It was a common
table-knife.

Mr. Watson, a medical man, said it was a most dan-
gerous wound ; she was removed to the hospital in a
most precarious condition.
Mr. JARDINE asked the prisoner if he had anything
to say to the serious charge.
The prisoner burst into tears,:but said nothing. lie
was then remanded till Friday next.

MARRIAGE OF MAJOR 11. B. EDWARDES, C. 8.-
The marriage of Major H. B. Edwardes, C. 8., who so greatly
distinguished himself in the late war in the Punjaub, and
Miss Emma Sidney, youngest daughter of the late Mr.
James Sidney, of Richmond-hill, was yesterday morning
solemnized at Petersham Church, Surrey, in the presence of
50 relatives and friends. The nuptial ceremony was per-
formed by the Rev. James S dney, M.A., perpetual curate of
Redlynch, Somersetshire' half-brother of the bride, who was
attended to the altar by a body of youthful and lovely ladies. At
the conclusion of the ceremony the newly-married couple
and the bridal party repaired to Dr. and Mrs. Grant's resi-
dence on Richmond-hill, where a sumptuous defamer awaited
them. Before the breakfast the magnificent gold medal
about to be presented to Major Edwardes by the East India
Company was exhibited to the gallant Major's friends. It
is a superb testimonial. On the obverse side, within a wreath
of laurel supported by two allegorical figures of Fame, is the
following inscription :—" From the East India Company to
Lieutenant and Brevet-Major H. B. Edwardes, C. 8., for his
services in the Punjaub, A.D. MDCCCXLVIII. ;" and on the
reverse is the likeness of her Majesty with the words
" Victoria Regina." The Gallant Major and his happy bride
left Richmond for Wales to spend the honeymoon imme-
diately after the breakfast. W e undekstand that Major Ed-
wardes, accompanied by his wife, departs for India early in
November next.
