chiefs in the bundle, put his own handkerchief over
them while the shopman's head was turned another
way, gracefully wiped his nose with them, and put
them into his pocket.—(Laughter.) When I ob-
served that, said the lady, I lifted up the flap of the
counter. I said to him, Don't any of these handker-
chiefs please you, Sir? No, said he. Then said I,
interrupting him and preventing him from going out,
allow me to look at those you have in your pocket ?
He declared that he had none, and that he was a gen-
tleman, and had a cab waiting for him at the door,
and out he rushed into the street. I ran after and
caught hold of him, and he struck me ; but I would
not let him go. The fellow with the green coat
seized me by the wrist to disengage me from him,
but I kept my hold, and the prisoner and I were up
and down together three times, he struggling to get
away, and I struggling to hold him. The fellow in
the green coat then kicked me in the hip, and the
prisoner struck me a blow on the neck, and then he
ran off. I followed him along the street, and caught

denied that he was the person accused, but there he
was, with the upper part of his coat on his person, and
the lower part of it in my possession.
James Kinnaly, of Hoxton, bookbinder, stated that
at about a quarter past eight o'clock he was in
Bishopsgate-street, a few yards from the shop of Mrs.
Bradshaw ; that he heard her cry out, and saw her
and the prisoner struggling on the ground ; that the
prisoner ran away, and that he ran after and secured
him, without losing sight of him. The witness
added that the handkerchiefs were picked up near the
London Tavern, where he secured the fellow.
Nicholas Merry stated that he picked up the hand-
kerchiefs at the time.
Mrs. Bradshaw identified four silk handkerchiefs,
by the private mark of the house.
The prisoner here stated that the handkerchief
which covered the others was his property, and he re-
quested the Alderman would cause it to be restored
to him.

DESCRIPTION OF REMARKABLE
FARMS.
BY ADAM BROWN.
No ear Chelmsford, in Essex.
A journey of a few minutes less than an hour into
Essex, by the railway from London, will bring you to
a station, where, if you are curious about remarkable
farms and farmers, you may leave the train.
I Having got out and given your ticket to the officer,
go down the winding stair. At the bottom of it you
will find yourself beneath one of several archway:,
each raised upon many pillars, bearing aloft the level
railway upon which runs the train you have just left.
It is now on its way to Colchester, and you are at
Chelmsford.
Looking through the pillars you will see passengers
going to and fro, carriages, carts, and waggons also.
Before you have emerged into the full glare of. day-
light, you will observe the end of a new row of brick-
built houses, and on the end of the house nearest you,
on a painted sign-board, the words, " Office of the
Essex Society for Protection to Agriculture."
Should you turn to the right, and proceed to the
north and north-west, you will pass many pretty
little houses with floral adornments around them ; and
you will come to a park of fine old trees and meadow
grass, through which, to the left, there is a footpath.
Enter and proceed by this footpath. You. will in
ten minutes reach a small river, over which you will
cross by a wooden bridge. You will then proceed
by the brink of this river for about fifteen or twenty
minutes, if you do not delay. But if you linger and
examine the farm land on your left, and the fences
that enclose it, and the gaps in the fences, and the
weeds in the fields, and all the signs of dilapidation,
including the washing away of the road on which
you walk by the river—not a rolling, spoliating,
reckless river, but a deep, slow, lazy river, which,
even in doing mischief, does it in such a lazy style,
that you are forced to believe that the road is gnawed
away by the tooth of time, and not by the floods
of one year—if you linger to examine such things as
these you may, likely enough, take another half hour.
And indeed if you do, it will not be the worst spent
half hour of your life. You will see that the river
has not done its little bits of mischief in recent floods ;
no, nor in the floods of recent years. You will, on
more intimate acquaintance with it, find it is an old-
fashioned river that does not like to be put out of its
old way, and which never has been interfered with ;
for on its banks are those who, not liking to be stirs
red up, or turned aside themselves, not even for their
own good, are averse to troubling even the old river
by leading it in a new and more profitable and be-
coming course.
Therefore, on they go; the water in its course, and
the dwellers on its bank in their courses, as the streams
of water and the generations of men did even in the
days of the kings of the East Saxons.
But, having arrived at that junction of roads where
the river is to be parted from, you may with pro-
priety come to a dead halt. Stand still ; think for a
while. Here is a toll-bar, there is a village. Behind
you is a farm-house, yard, stable, barns, corn•
stacks, haystacks, carts, waggons, wheels without
waggons, one wheel without its fellow, its fellow
lying a hundred yards off, without its ring; its ring
keeping company with a piece of a plough, and a
piece of a plough lying in the mast likely place on all
the farm to break a horse's or a cow's legs. Frag-
ments of implements, and implements separated from
the companion implements, present themselves to you
in wondrous confusion.
You may think it worth while to look round the
whole farm-steading and farm fields after this. It
is worth while. I will go with you ; I will show
you. Look here ! A horsepond and a ditch full
of water. "Is the water all of that black colour
in Essex ?" you will ask me. " No, it is
not ; you saw the river ; the river was only
earthy coloured because of the rain." • " "Why,
then is the horsepond and this ditch full of black wa-
ter ? and that other ditch as well ? and this hole
down in the field where the cattle are drinking ? Do
the horses drink that black water in the pond ? Why,
it has a stench. Ah ! how nasty it is !"
Nasty; yes, it has cause to stink and be nasty. It
contains the urine of the cattle and the washings of
the farmyard dung. You wonder how anybody can
give horses and cattle such water to drink-; but it is
an old custom to do so, and it would incur trouble
and expense to drain the liquids of the yard some-
were else. You are surprised that the horses should
drink this water. Rest assured the horses would
ehoose good water as readily as any human being
would; perhaps more so, for their tastes are not viti-
ated by strong drinks from choice, they only drink
polluted water from necessity.
You are surprised that a farmer, for his own profit,
does not provide his horses and cattle with pure water.
But you may be still more surprised that the very
pollution which poisons this water consists of sub-
stances which make poor soils rich, and rich soils
richer still ; consists of substances which are here
utterly wasted, and for the draining of which into
speedy and utter waste those ditches are made ; con-
sists of substances thus wasted at the very threshold
of the farmer's house, though precious as the guano of
Ichaboe, carried to this country by five hundred ships,
over latitudes of ocean measuring thousands of miles.
But, proceed over the farm. We. have little diffi-
culty in getting through, so far as gaps can serve us ;
but those undraitsed hogs, and broad ditches choked
with weedy foulness, let us be careful how we tra-
verse them, lest we sink. And mind the briers that
fill up the wide distance between the old stumpy
hedgerows—distances that would produce ten bushels
of wheat on each four hundred yards lengthways ;
that is to say, if by any possibility one could ever
hope to see wheat sown on so rich a soil as this.
You are surprised. See you not that wheat is not
cultivated here: See you not that, where there was
once cultivated land, as we may see by those ridges,
there is now grass, and that grass is giving way to
rushes and thistles, docks and weedy wastefulness.
True this is good land, the best land in Essex for
wheat; but if you went all over Essex, and all Eng-
land, you would not see wheat so little cared for as
here.
Now we come to another farm-steading, belonging
to the same farmer, and again we see the liquids of
the farm-yard running to waste; again we see the
solids lai I out to dry in the sun, as if it were good that
the ammonia should go into the air rather than into
the earth.
You ask why it is that one farmer should hold so
much land, and make such a poor use of it. I will
tell you. lie holds so much land because he is rich,
and can be depended on for the rent better than a
poorer tenant can be depended on. He is rich while
many other farmers are poor; and he is so because
they are poor. His work is not that of toiling at the
farm to enable him to pay his rent; it is the "selling
up" of other farmers who cannot pay their rents. His
desire is not to get a good system of leases
introduced, that he and his neighbours may
expend capital on their land, and cultivate
well. His desire is, that the present uncertain
system of tenure may continue. He thrives
by it. He is a land valuer; and each tenant-at-1s ill,
moving from farm to farm, year after year, has his
stock, and farm, and implements valued , and he pays

Policeman 74 K, from information he received from
one of the last witnesses, went on the preceding even-
ing to the house of the prisoners and took them into
custody. On apprising them of the nature of the
charge against them, the male prisoner said that the
infant was at the house of his brother, in Henry-
street, Commercial-road, but afterward admitted that
the brother had gone to Bristol, and that they had
neither since heard from him, nor knew where he
was to be found. On the road to the station, the
male pri3oner told his wife to keep close and not say
anything, as there was no evidence whatever against
them.

In defence the male prisoner denied having deserted
his child in the manner that had been described, and
persisted in his statement that he had placed it in the
care of his brother, who had left London more than
a month ago, and he had always since then entertained
the firm conviction that the infant had been carried
by his brother with him to Bristol.
The female prisoner's statment was p...ecisely to the
same effect.

Mr. BROUGHTON said that the case was one of very
deep suspicion, and there could be no doubt whatever
that tilts child produced in Court was that of which
the female prisoner had been delivered at the house of
the woluan Atthill. He should commit them both to
prison for child-dropping, but let the case stand over
for a week, to give them an opportunity of bringing
forward any exculpatory evidence they might be able
to adduce.—The prisoners were then removed.

UN/ON-HALL.
Yesterday Sarah Drew was brought before Mr.
Cottingham, on remand from last Thusday, charged
with administering poison to Richard Drew, her
husband.

Mr. James, the solicitor who attended for the pro-
secution, said, that he was requested by the com-
plainant to state, that he was overwhelmed with grief
at the awful situation of his wife, to whom he had
been married forty years ; that they had sixteen chil-
dren, four of whom, their sons, young men of most
exemplary conduct, had joined in the prayer of their
father for the liberation of their mother. The com-
plainant was most anxious she should he discharged
upon bail, as he was convinced that she would not
make any further attempt upon his life, and that,
under these circumstances, he (the complainant)
wished that she should return home to her dwelling,
if the Magistrate sanctioned it.
Mr. COTTINGIIAM said, that the alleged offence was
of such a nature that he could not possibly grant the
application ; that the intercession of the old man now
made on her bnhalf evinced the kindness of his feel-
ings towards her, notwithstanding the desperate
means by which she sought his life, and that the
charge was one which must go before a jury. It
was given in evidence that the quantity of arsenic put
into the complainant's tea was enough to kill four
persons; that there were also two other lumps of the
same mineral found on the floor where the prisoner
had been previously standing, a quantity that was said
to be sufficient to poison twenty persons. It was
only a matter of astonishment how the prisoner or any
other perso❑ could have procured such a quantity of
the deadly drug without proper inquiries being made
by the person who sold it. The person, whoever he
was, was guilty of the most culpable negligence, to
say the least of it, and he (the Magistrate) was ap-
prehensive now that the discovery would not take
place.

It was stated that the handkerchief which the pri-
soner called his was unhemmed, and in all probability
1 had been stolen by him.
The prisoner very coolly said that it had been
washed two or three times, and nobody but himself
could lay claim to it.
John Scott, City policeman (626), stated that he
heard the cry of " Police" near the shop, and saw the
prisoner escape from the grasp of Mrs. Bradshaw. As
the prisoner approached, witness asked him what was
the matter, supposing it was an assault affair, and the
prisoner said " That man struck me—take him for
God's sake." Witness said, " What man ?" " That
man in a buff waistcoat," replied the prisoner, and
when witness looked in the direction pointed at, ran off.
Witness followed and apprehended the prisoner.
Mrs.:Bradshaw—A jeweller in the same street was
:robbed of property on the same evening, and no doubt
;by this prisoner, assisted by the fellow with the green
coat. He has no doubt that this prisoner was one of
:the thieves, but as he has no proof, he does not wish
to come forward.

The prisoner—Now don't say that.
that things are worse than they really are.
Mrs. Bradshaw—When he came to the shop he
lad a black patch upon his lip, but he tore it off be-
fore he got to the station-house.
Alderman (inns committed the prisoner for trial,
and congratulated the lady upon such uncommon
:self-possession and courage as she had exhibited
throughout.
The green-coated gentleman will, in all probability,
be very soon in custody.

Don't say

The prisoner, who stood trembling at the bar, fre-
quently asserted her innocence of the alleged offence,
and declared that she never touched her husband's
teapot on the evening in question, and had no oppor-
tunity of putting poison in it, even if she were in-
clined, for he was not a moment absent from the room.
Mr. CorTlNGium observed that the prisoner's pre-
vious conduct to her husband strengthened the belief
that hers was the hand that administered the poison
—that previously to it she had uttered threats against
his life—had also threatened to burn the house ; and
when she saw him retching violently from the effects
of the poison he had swallowed in her presence, and
when he complained of a sudden sickness and a burn-
ing sensation in his mouth and throat, instead of ren-
dering him any assistance, her expressions and un-
feeling conduct on the occasion were such as to war-
rant the conclusion that she was the offender. The
Magistrate then directed the depositions to be taken,
and said that he should commit the prisoner, but that
she should he brought up again on Tuesday next, to
give the policeman an opportunity of making further
inquiries as to where the poison was bought.
GREENWICH.
Yesterday Thomas 111' Clone, a superannuated war-
rant-officer, was convicted of having used abusive lan-
guage to the relieving-officer of the union, who had
gone to remonstrate with him for having expelled
from his roof his daughter, a girl under 20 years of
age, whom her father declared to be utterly unworthy
of his protection. _

CLEI?KENWELL.
Anne Rhodes was brought up for final examina-
tion, charged with stealing an immense quantity of
'wearing apparel, house linen, tea, sugar, spirits,
'books, and almost every other portable article ofa well-
furnished house, being the property of her master,
:Mr. Cross, residing in York-place, Stoke Newington.
James Gibson was charged with receiving the same,
-well knowing it to have been stolen.
It appeared from the evidence, which was very
voluminous, that the female prisoner, adernure-look-
ring person, advanced in years, has been in the employ-
ment of Mr. Cross during the last five years, and has,
from the first day of her servitude, carried on a whole-
sale system of plunder, but so artfully and secretly
effected, that up to this time she was believed to be
‘4 a faithful servant." The male prisoner was in the
same service about two years ago, and since then it
appears that Rhodes has kept up a constant com-
munication with him. He lodged in Norfolk-street,
Islington, and thither the plunder was conveyed ; in
fact, it clearly appeared that she was his paramour, for
with the landlady of the house she went by the name
ccf Mrs. Gibson, and whenever her employers
were out of town, she came there laden with plunder,
ar:d they passed the night in the same apartment.
A.l length Maria IVoodgate, her fellow-servant, who
had been induced to convey some tea, sugar, brandy,
&c ~ in hampers to the prisoner's lodgings, informed
her mistress of the fact. The female prisoner was
for thwith given into custody, and made a full con-
fession of her guilt. She declared she would stab
herself, and soon after became so ill that she lay for
several days in the workhouse in a very precarious
condition. At Gibson's lodgings a very large quan-
tity of the stolen property was found, stowed into
every hole and corner capable of containing it ; there
were bottles, jars, and even pails filled with tea,
sugar, and spirits of every description.
COMBS decided on committing the prisoners
for trial, and depositions were taken down ac
exudingly.

He was sentenced to a fine of ,55., and, in default, to
imprisonment for seven days.
Immediately after he was locked up, his son, a
sailor, was brought up for having struck the relieving
officer, on account of the charge against his father.
The young man declared the old man, having a wife
and five children to support, could not endure the pro-
fligacy of his daughter.
He was called on to enter into recognizances for
101. His earnest entreaties at length induced the
Magistrate (Mr. Grove) to respite his father's fine for
ten days.

QUEEN-SQUARE.
Yesterday the first order of affiliation under the
recent Act of Parliament eras made at this office.
Tb e putative father of the child was Joseph Edgely,
a young linendraper's assistant, who was summoned
to show cause why an order of 2s. 6d. per week should
not. be made upon him for its maintenance.
The mother swore to the intimacy, and to her hav-
ing been delivered of the child she then held in her
arms on the 12th of February. Defendant visited
her five times at her lodging; and passed the night
with her.
Alfred Easton proved that the complainant lodged
a his house, and had been delivered on the day stated.
Defendant had visited her there, and passed as her
husband.

Mr. BURRELL observed, that it was not necessary
to go back so long a period as nine months before the
birth. It was enough that she should be confirmed
in some material part of her testimony. He thought

defendant to make an allowance towards the main-
terance of the child.

The object of the Legislature in mentioning this sum
had clearly been with a view to put part of the onus

CITY OF LONDON ASSESSED
TAXES.—COURT OF APPEAL.
Yesterday a general Court of Appeal for the City of
London was held in the Land Tax-room, Guildhall-
buildings, before the Commissioners appointed for the
execution of the 48th Geo. M., c. 141, called the
Assessed Taxes Act, for the purposes of hearing ap-
peals against the first assessment for the sth of April,
1844. Pursuant to the provisions of the above Act,
duplicates of the first assessment of the duties of the
said taxes on the inhabitants of the City of London
and its liberties, was given by the Commissioners to
the collectors appointed to receive the same, on the
13th of July last.

A number of appeal cases were entered for hearing
in the Court, most of which were disposed of withuut
any material points being- elicited during their bear-
ing. Out of the number of appeals which had been
made, in thirty-five cases the applicants were suc-
cessful.

The Court, having disposed of the business of the
day, adjourned.

CORONERS' INQUESTS.
SuiciuE.—Last evening Mr. William Baker held
an inquest at the City of Paris, Bethnal-green, on the
body of Mary Tipson, aged 56. It appeared that de-
ceased gainedia living, by washing, for herself and
three daughters, but hail lately failed, and got into
arrears for rent to the amount of ten shillings. The
tax-collector subsequently called, which apparently
preyed much upon her mind; and on Saturday even-
ing she went out, as she stated, to take some linen to
be mangled. She was unusually low spirited. Not
returning, her daughters became alarmed, and after a
great deal of inquiry her body was fount floating in
the Regent's-canal, near the Eastern Counties Rail-
way bridge, by Clark, the lock-keeper. There being
no other evidence, the jury returned a verdict of
" Found Drowned."
