SEPTEMBER 4, 1850.

three or four hours ; and that his answer to the
charge, when taken into custody, was to the effect
that as he was not a servant to Mrs. Allen, it only
amounted to a breach of trust, and that a lawyer,
whose opinion he had taken, had told him that nothing
could be done with him for it.

Sergeant Moore, 1 B, the officer who apprehended
the accused, was then put into the witness-box, to
make some addition to his former testimony, and
stated that, while conveying the prisoner to the sta-
tion at Pimlico, he entreated him to let him go,
stating that he would make it all right with him.
His (accused's) mother would give him 51.
Mr. F. Cock, inspector to Mr. Macnamara, con-
tractor for the mail-carts, proved that the prisoner
was in his employment, and had neglected to attend
at the Post-office with his cart at 40 minutes past one
on Saturday, the 17th ult., the day upon which he
obtai❑ed the money, as it was his duty to do, and had
not since resumed his duty, witness not having seen
him until that day (yesterday).
Sergeant Moore said that he hail called repeatedly
at his lodgings and watched them day and night, but
he never saw the accused until he apprehended him in
Bloomsbury.

Mr. Child addressed the Magistrate with his usual
ability upon the case, and submitted that there was
sufficient to justify him in asking for the prisoner's
committal for trial.

A solicitor, on the part of the accused, considered
that there was nothing to reply to, contending that
the charge merely amounted to a breach of trust, and
that the whole of his conduct showed that no felony
had been committed.

Mr. Child reminded the advocate on the other side
that his client's absconding, and subsequently run-
ning away from the officer when he saw him, were
strong evidences of his guilt. Mr. Child then cited a
case tried in 1838, in support of his opinion that the
accused had been guilty of larceny, in which a drover
sold a bullock which he had been entrusted to deliver,
and in which the judges before whom the case was
tried pronounced the conviction of the offender by the
jury to be good. _ _

Mr. BURRELL thought the case in some respects
differed from the present.
Mr. Child respectfully demurred to that opinion,
and after expressing his view that if such acts as the
prisoner's were to be deemed only a breach of trust,
there would be no security for society, solicited a fur-
ther remand.

Mr. BURRELL immediately granted the required
remand for a week, and refused to accept bail kr the
accused.

CLERKENWELL.

Yesterday Daniel Scanlon, a powerful-looking
Irishman, was placed at the bar, charged by Jane
Carroll, a young woman, with having violently as-
saulted her.

The prosecutrix, whose face was shockingly bruised
and disfigured, and who was in a weakly state, said
that she met with the prisoner, who represented him-
self as a single man, paid his addresses to her, and
under a promise of marriage induced her to cohabit
with him, and the result was the birth of two children,
one of which died, and the other she placed at nurse.
His wife came from Ireland, and on hearing of the
prisoner's delinquency sympathised with witness and
took the surviving child under her protection, whilst
witness endeavoured to procure her livelihood by
needlework. On the previous evening, feeling anxious
to see her child, she went to the prisoner's house for
that purpose, when the prisoner had some words with
her, knocked her down, and whilst on the ground he
kicked and beat her in a most unmerciful manner,
until she became insensible, and was taken to the
hospital, where she was restored to her senses.
Police constable 65 G deposed that he heard cries
of- " murder" in Caroline-buildings, Clerkenwell,
where the-prisoner resides, and found him ill-treating
the prosecutrix, who was on the ground insensible.
He took the prisoner into custody.
The prisoner, on being asked what he had to say to
the charge, with cool indifference admitted all the
prosecutrix had said to be true.
Mr. TYRWHITT told the prisoner he was a savage,
cowardly, brutal fellow, and ought to be ashamed of
himself. He fined him 31., or six weeks' impri-
sonment.

Jane Wright, a handsome young woman, was
charged with being drunk, and attempting to commit
suicide.

A police-constable said that on Monday evening
he was informed that a young woman (the prisoner)
was drunk, in Old-street, St. Luke's, and had at-
tempted suicide with a knife. He took her into cus-
tody, and a knife (now produced) was found in her
possession. She said her mother resided at No. 3,
Northampton-row, Clerkenwell.
The mother attended, and said a gentleman, re-
siding in Banner-street, St. Luke's, paid his ad-
dresses to her daughter, under a promise of marriage,
seduced her, and abandoned her, which so affected
her mind, that she left her home, and wandered about
drinking.

The prisoner, who was very dejected, on being
asked if she would return home with her mother,
cried, and said " She had been a good mother to me ;
if I go home with her, I shall not stop with her."
Mr. COMBS suggested that she should have a pri-
vate interview with her mother ; after which she con-
sented to return home with her, and they left the
court together.

Gregory saw him looking at something in his hand
after he had taken it out of Tighe's pocket, and after
mentioning the matter, the latter felt and found his
penny was gone. They pursued the prisoner to the
Commercial-road, where they spoke to Blake, 400
K, on seeing which the prisoner took rapidly to his
heels, but Blake more quickly pursued, and took
him into custody. He bad on him a shilling in
silver, fourpence in halfpence, and one pennypiece.
He denied having taken Tighe's money.
Mr. INGHAM—This is a very extraordinary case.
The evidence of these young witnesses is clear and
conclusive, and I must have the depositions taken.
Prisoner—l can take my solemn oath, sir, that I
never had my hand in the boy's pocket. When he
saw the money found on me he said none of it was
his. I can account for all the money I bad about me.
Mr. INGHAM—You must make your defence before
a jury.

Prisoner (in a state of great excitement)—Oh !
my mother, my poor mother. It will be the death
of her when she hears it.

Mr. INGHAM—I cannot help that I must go by
the evidence, which is perfectly conclusive.
The depositions were then taken, and the pri-
soner, who seemed to be in a dreadful state of mind,
was committed for tri2l.

by Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—The following certificate
from Mr_ Alcorn, of Jerry's Plains, New South Wales, was
forwarded to Professor Holloway by Mr. Pinkey, chemist, of
the same place. " This is to certify that my daughter, aged
seven years, was afflicted with scrofula for three years, and that,
after she had been attended by several respectable practitioners,
without success, I was induced to try Holloway's Ointment
and Pills, which remedies in about three months completely
cured her, and she is now in the best of health. This can be
verified by various persons in this vicinity, where I have re'ided
for twenty-two years. ( Signed) R. Alcorn. Jan. 1, 1849."
