LAW AND POLIO._

At the Middlesex Sessions, Francis Redhead Smith, an
attorney, residing at 14, Bethnal-green, and Stephen Skel-
lington, servant to the former,_ surrendered to answer an
indictment, charging them with committing an assault upon
John Kain, on the 28th day of December, 1843. It appeared
that Kain having paid the defendant Smith a sum of money
requested a proper receipt, when he told the plaintiff, if he
was not satisfied with what he had given to him to leave
the house, upon which he immediately laid hold of him by the
neck, and dragged him to the door, assisted by Skellington.
They both shoved him outside the door, and then pitched
him down the stone steps, by which his leg was severely
hurt. The Chairman sentenced Mr. Smith to three months'
imprisonment in the House of Correction, and the servant to
fourteen days' imprisonment in the same place. Mr. Ballan-
tine suggested that the imprisonment should be taken off Mr.
Smith on his paying 501. to the complainant ; but the ar-
rangement could not be carried into effect. The Chairman
subsequently ordered Smith to enter into his own recog-
nisance in 2001., and find one surety of 1001., to appear this
day to receive judgment.
James Cook and his wife were sentenced to six months'
imprisonment with hard labour in the House of Correction,
for keeping a house of ill-fame in the neighbourhood of
Long-acre. The prisoners have been - previously convicted
.for the same offence.

-A Guildhall, a man of the name of Jones was convicted,
on his own confession, of smuggling 81b. of tobacco on shore
from' a foreign ship, and was ordered to pay a penalty of 100 L,
or be imprisoned till the same is paid.
At Union-hall, Thomas Richardson, a smart-looking young
man, was charged with attempt at robbery. On the preced-
ing night, as a gentleman named Gardener was walking
along the Waterloo-road, the prisoner walked up to him with
a silk pocket-handkerchief in one hand, which he thrust in
complainant's face, while with the other hand he made a
snatch at a diamond pin in the front of his shirt. He failed
in the attempt, and was immediately arrested. A policeman
stated that the prisoner, a few years ago, was known to be a
member of the "swell mob," at which period he used to dress
like a " first-rate swell" about town. That since then he
had gone down in the world, and was the associate of a set
of low thieves who frequented the south side of the river, and
was always to be seen lurking about the Elephant and Castle,
and other places of public resort. He was committed to the
House of Correction for two months.

applause. Miss Rainfortk never sang better, if so well, the
music allotted to the daughter, and was rapturously encored

lous energy and precision.

" Sir,—lt becomes my unpleasant duty to report the
total loss of the British barque Bolivar, Francis Wheate
.master, bound from Sierra Leone to England, with a
cargo of timber.
" The Bolivar, in consequence of making much water,
endeavoured to get into one of the ports of these islands,
but, the leak increasing, the captain and crew. aban-
doned her, and took refuge on board the English barque
Adrastus, which had remained by them for three days
previous. -
"The captain and crew were landed at Porto Praiu,
and sent from thence to the British Consulate here, and
it is my intention to send the whole to the coast of
Africa by the first English vessel that may offer, for
Gambia or Sierra Leone. One man has died, and the
whole, including captain and mate, have received sus
tenance and clothing, with medical attendance where ii
was necessary.—l have, &c.,

We trust the lessee has framed his programme with

burin; the past season we found he had suddenly
I:rongiit her Majesty's Theatre to that degree of splen-

hall-, until his time, been lamentably deficient ; and we
thought it but fair to yield him that measure of applause,
without which lessees, no more than virtuosi, can brilli-
antly enact their pat is ; still under present circum-
stances, we must watch his progress wi, h a jealous ey*.
ore theatre must tUI. Apart the daily increasing taste
