CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—(This Day.)

OLD COURT.
(Before Chief Justice Bovill.)
THE CASE OF LORD SHAFTESBURY'S STEWARD.

This case was again brought before the court
this morning. The defendant, Robert Short
Waters, was formerly steward to the Earl of
Shaftesbury, and a charge of embezzlement was
preferred against him. The case had been from
time to time postponed in consequence of certain
Chancery proceeding 3, and on Monday an appli-
cation was made to the Recorder to discharge the
recognizances of the prisoner, as it was not intended
to proceed with the prosecution. The learned
judge applied to refused to accede to the application,
and directed Mr. Lewis, the counsel for the defen-
dant, to apply when one of her Majesty's judges
was present.

The defendant this morning surrendered, but no
evidence was offered.

It was explained to the Gmrt it was not in-
tended to proceed further against the defendant,
as the case rested on a matter of accounts, which
were of a very complicated character. Various
other reasons existed for the course that was
now adopted, and at the close of the present
proceedings, it was arranged all matters of law
should come to a final close.

As no evidence was offered, the defendant was
ordered to be discharged.

THE OUTRAGE IN THE CITY.

Arthur Forrester Smith and Hector Augustus
Smith, two boys respectively aged 14 and 12, were
indicted for feloniously wounding Mary Ann Nunn,
and with intent to resist their lawful apprehension.
Mr. Poland, in opening the case, stated at length
the evidence against the prisoners, who, it will be
recollected, made a desperate attack upon the pro-
secutor, an aged female, a relative of theirs, with a
mallet, who resided in Catherine-court, Seething-
lane, City. _ _ _

Mr. Collins, who appeared for the prisoners said
he could not resist the evidence against prisoners,
and therefore they would plead guilty to the charge
of assaulting with intent to resist their lawful
apprehension. He had to implore the mercy-
of the court for the prisoners, who had be-
come involved in their present unfortunate posi-
tion in consequence of reading some of those
cheap and vicious publications,which in the present
case showed the unfortunate results they produced
in persons of tender age.
A verdict of guilty having been recorded, his
lordship deferred passing sentence for the present.
