Barr, a porter in the employ of Messrs. Chamen,
wine merchants, Charlotte-street, Fitzroy-square,
was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a
bottle of wine, the property of his employers.
Mr. Sayer from the office of Mr. Edwari Lewis,
of Great Marlborough-street, appeared for the pri-
soner, who appeared to be very dejected.
Mr. Tewkcsburne Chamen, of the firm of
Chamen and Sons, said that the prisoner had been
in the employ of the firm for about fOur months,
and for some time past they had been missing pro-
perty. On Saturday their head cellarman showed
him two bottles of wine width had been removed
from the cellar and placed among the empty bottles
in the bottle-washing place. On the prisoner leav-
ing in the evening he (witness) stopped him and
gave him into custody, and the constable took a
bottle of wine (one of those he had spoken of' from
him.

prisoner came to the firm with a very good cha-
racter.

Police-constable James Swaine, 14 OR, said that
on taking the prisoner into custody he found the
bottle of wine under his coat, and on taking the
prisoner to the station he fainted.

Mr. Sayer addressed the magistrate on the pri-
soner's behalf, urging that he had hitherto borne a
good character, and that he was sorry for commit-
ting himself as he had done.

Mr. Tyrwhitt said he would remand the prisoner
for a week, and see if the prosecutors intended to
proceed further.

IVES'imiN ST E R.

PATERNAL REGARD.—JaITICS Evans, a man
about 50 years of age, was charged with assaulting
and wounding his son, aged about 25, whose head
was tied up in a handkerchief.

Complainant said that hearing that his father
had been to his house and made a disturbance, he
went to his house, 7, Church-street, Chelsea, on
Saturday evening, when his father and his brother
fell upon him, and his father wounded him on the
head with a knife, after which his brother punched
him with his fist.

Defendant—Your worship, he came in ust like
a mad lion.

Mr. Selfe—Did you ever see one?
Defendant—Well, no; I don't know that I ever
did, but your worship knows what I mean.
Complainant—l came here to speak the truth—
it's a lie your worship.
Mr. Selfe —That's very plain at any rate. Com-
plainant, I see your father has got a number of
marks about him. how did they come ?
Complainant—lle tumbled about, I suppose.
Defendant—l got them from my sou, when he
beat me about with the leg of the table.

Complainant--IVhat's the good of dying that;
who do you think would believe you?
Defendant—He is a bad fellow, and I can prove
it. He came in, knocked me about, and went on
in a fine way. We were all sitting at breakfast.
Defendant's daughter, and another son, proved
that he came in, threw off his clothes, attacked his
father, and broke all the things, which he fell
amongst, and cut his head.

Mr. Selfe discharged the defendant, and told com-
plainant to keep away from his house.

THAMES.

FATAL STABBING AFFRAY.—Mr. Stoddart, solici-
tor, announced that John Buckley, a cooper, who
was stabbed in the abdomen on the 11th of October
last by a man of colour, Felix Victor, died on Satur-
day night in the London Hospital. Victor has been
remanded ten times on the charge of stabbing, and
he will be arraigned on Thursday next on a charge
of wilful murder. Mr. Stoddart is prepared with
a mass of evidence, not to justify the atrocious and
sanguinary act of the prisoner, but to prove
-"a Ll,Ol
ley was known for his quarrelsome disposition. The
prisoner has been remanded until Saturday. Ever
since he had been in custody he has betrayed the
greatest indifference on the subject.

SYMPATIN WITH BURGLARS.—EIIen Sullivan, a
vulgar-looking Irish girl, with a large pair of brass
rings decorating her ears, was brought before Mr.
Benson on a charge of assaulting a little girl named
Jane Brand.

This case was stated to have originated out of
the late trial of two notorious burglars, who gave
the names of Thomas and John Brown, for
breaking into and plundering the dwelling-house
and premises of Mr. Lavenberg, Broad-street, Rat-
cliff. After the conviction of that nefarious and
notorious thief John Brown, whose real name
is Hallam, there was lamentation and woe
among the loose characters of Jamaica-place,
Limehouse, and neighbourhood. The mother of the
complainant was wrongly suspected of giving infor-
mation to the police, and she was abused by the
prisoner and other friends of the convict, and she
was abused and threatened. Her daughter was
struck.

Bride; a police-constable, 4 K, said the neigh-
bourhood of Jamaica• place had been in a state of
excitement ever since the convict was sentenced.to
ten years penal servitude, and that he had cohabited
with Sullivan.

Mr. Benson said he would punish with great
severity the friends of thieves and burglars who
dared to make any disturbance, or threatened those
who had given information or evidence against bad
characters. He should have punished the prisoner
with a long imprisonment if there had not been
some provocation. By way of warning he should
sentence the prisoner to 14 days' imprisonment and
hard labour. If she was brought before him again
he should punish her with a long imprisonment, or
commit her for trial.
