CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.

OLD COUR7I

The eleventh session of the present Mayoralty was opened this
morning by the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, the Recorder, Messrs.
Hunter and Sydney, Aldermen and Sheriffs, and Messrs. Aldermen
Farncombe, Hughes Hughes, and Sir Chapman Marshall.
The calendar, in consequence of the very short period which has
intervened since the last sitting, is necessarily light, the number of
cases being 117, and, with the exception of one manslaughter, none
of the charges being particularly heavy.
After the juries had been sworn in
The REconnEs proceeded to deliver his charge. He said that the
calendar which lay before him comprehended a smaller number of
persons than unsually occurred. He attributed the circumstance to
the fact, that the interval between the late and the present session
had been shorter than usual ; but he had reason also to believe that
the number of persons committed for offences within the
jurisdiction of the Old Bailey had been reduced during
that interval. The present calendar contained some cases of a rather
serious aspect, but none of theM in general presented points difficult
in common law. If, however, any difficulty should arise the Court
would willingly extend its assistance in removing them. Ile consi-
dered it right to refer to two descriptions of charges contained in the
present calendar, tlfe one of manslaughter, and the other the forging
of, deed. The Learned Recorder then explained at length the law
as it affected manslaughter, and the different degrees of that crime.
In the case before them a carman was charged with having by Ills
culpable negligence caused the death of an infant of tender years. It
appeared that he had been standing in 116 waggon, and that the reins
though within his reach were not in his hand. The horse was going
at a very soberi steady pace, and it further appeared that the child,
aged one and a half years, had run out from the pavement upon the
wheel, been knocked down, and unfortunately killed. It did not appear
however, from the depositions, that the carman was culpably negli-
gent as to come within the provisions of the statute ; for, even sup-
posing him to have been at his horse's head, the great probability was;
that he might not have seen the child ; and again, if he had been at
the side of the cart, his proper position would have been at that side
which was opposite to the infant ; and in this way, also, he might not
probably have prevented the occurrence. It would be their duty,
however, if they thought him culpable, to put the case into progress
of further investigation. The other charge—that of having forged a
deed—had features of a somewhat novel character, to which he
would briefly advert. The person charged had, it appeared,
applied, in the name of another, for shares in a railway com-
pany, and the shares having beeen so allotted, he afterwards
signed the deed in the name of that other party. This was a serious
charge, and it would be for the jury to inquire if the application was
so made, and the deed signed with a fraudulent intention. He would
now dismiss them to their duty.
The grand jury then retired, and shortly after the Lord Mayor
and several of the Aldermen left the Court.

BO W-STREET.-(TH IS DAY.)
Charles Richard Daley was placed at the bar before Mr. Hall,
charged with stealing a shirt, the property of his son, William Daley.
The prosecutor entered the 'witness-box, and in a very bitter strain
began to relate circumstances having reference to private matters,
and not connected with the matter in question.
Mr. HALL interrupted the witness, and desired him to confine him-
self to the present case. It now appeared that he (the prosecutor)
knew, in fact, nothing of the case, having been in the country at the
time the circumstances on which the charge was founded occurred.

Two women, living at No. 4, Tottenham-ccurt•road, (In which
street the prosecutor and his mother have lodgings) gave evidence to
the effect that the p:isoner was seen leaving the house in which his
son lived, with a bundle under his arm ; and Ellen Daley (the pro-
secutor's sister) proved that the shirt had been lost. This was the
whole case against the prisoner.
The prisoner's solicitor complained bitterly of the conduct of the
prosecutor, in charging his father with felony on so slight a case.
Mr. HALT. rebuked the prosecutor for taking the course he had
adopted. There was clearly no object for the prosecution but a vin-
dictive feeling, resulting from the private quarrels which the prose-
cutor has shown himself so anxious to explain. If the prisoner, being
separated from his wife, gave any-annoyance to her or to his son, he
should be given in charge for that offence, and not on a charge of
felony, which could not be substantiated.
The prisoner was discharged.
The prisoner's attorney, before leaving the Court, intimated his in-
tention of advising his client to bring an action for false imprison-
ment against his son.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
(THIS DAY.)
John Leary, a lad about 16 years of age, was charged with commit-
ting tly: following impudent robbery in the shop of Mrs. Laura Ches-
ter, of No. 115, Jermyn-street, St. James's, dealer in cigars.
It appeared that between six and seven o'clock on Saturday even-
ing last, the prisoner, in company with two other lads, were lurking
about the shop of the prosccutrix ; their manner attracted the notice
of &neighbour's son, about ten years of age, who watched their mo-
tions, and at length saw the prisoner, when no person was in the
shop, deliberately walk in up to the counter, and, taking up a box of
cigars, put it under his coat, came out to his companions, and
walk hastily away with them. The boy, however, followed, keeping
his eye upon the pair, until he reached Charing-cross, when meeting
with police-constable No. 129, of the A division, he gave the prisoner
into his charge. The prisoner threw down the box of cigars on the
footway pavement, and attempted to escape ; his• companion suc-
ceeded in getting clear off. The stolen property is valued at 235.
The prisoner is unknown to the police.—lle was conunitted for trial.
William Bowden, a young man of respectable appearance, was
charged with being drunk and disorderly, in Marshall-street, Golden-
square, and making use of abusive language.
Police-constable N 0.27 of the C division, stated that between eleven
and twelve o'clock on Saturday night he saw the prisoner quarrelling
with a female in Marshall-street, and causing a great disturbance.
on requesting him to go on peaceably, lie made use of improper
language.

The defendant denied the statement of the constable, alleging that
the police had interferred with him without the sligetest occasion.
As to his being intoxicated that was also untrue.
Mr. MALTBY (to the constable)—Was he intoxicated or not? Con-
stable—No, he certainly was not.
Mr. MALTBY—Why he is so charged on the pollee sheet? Constable
—No, he was not drunk, Sir.
Inspector Baker of the C division, who took the charge, said the
defendant was certainly drunk, or he should not have locked him up.
The constable persisted that the defendant was not drunk.
Inspector Baker—Why I read the charge over to you after you
made it, and you signed it.
Mr. 3IALTBY seemed somewhat puzzled at this conflicting testimony,
but eventually disposed of the case by ordering the defendant to
pay a fine of 10s. for using obscene language.

Foor RACE.—This morning a strong muster of
the pedestrian fancy met on Waterloo-bridge to witness the two hun-
dred yards' race between Westhall and Chadwick (an amateur).
The stakes were 51. a-side. In betting. Westhall was in favour at
IS to 4. At the start Westhall obtained a slight advantage. ana took
the lead at a rattling pace; his opponent exerted himself, and at
100 yards succeeded in coming up ; they then ran together 50 yards,
whets Westhall passed his adversary, who then made his last struggle
for the winning mark, hut his efforts to win proved futile, and West-
hall came off the winner, beating his opponent by two yards. It was
a well-contested mid quick run race, and the two hundred yards of
ground werepocered,Afy the winner in twenty-eight seconds.
MAYOR or. CORK.—We learn from a Second
Edition of the. Cork Southern Reporter, of Thursday, that on the
afternoon of That day kir. Alderman Roche was nominated Mayor
of that city for the year ensuing.
Mr. Denton, a paper stainer in Leadenhall-street,
was, on Saturday, fined W. for pirating a registered design of Mr.
Boswell's, paper stainer, Dublin.
The soldier Hill, who gave himself up at Dublin
as the murderer of Eliza Grimwood, was on Saturday discharged, it
having been clearly ascertained that he knew nothing whatever of
the murder.

The persons accused of robbing Mrs. Tritton's
establishment at Battersea have been again remanded. It is said
that Mrs. Triton's butler, whew wife is in custody, has decamped.
THE ONE THOUSAND TWO. HUNDRED AND NINETY
POUNDS ItOBBERY.—The woman, " Coalrahe Nan," charged with
robbing Mr. Thomas Johnson, butcher, of Bradford, was apprehended
on Friday at the.railway station at Leeds. She had taken her fare
for Liverpool, and had entered the railway carriage, when Mr. Brigg
took her into custody. She had money to the amount only of 6/.
upon her; she had none of the bills or,promissory notes, or anything to
corroborate the charge-against her; but she acknowledged the offence,
making it a matter of light jesting and good humour. She appeared
to have added greatly to her stock ofwearing apparel, so that a great
portion of the money must have been spent in this manner. The
prisoner was brought up on Monday, but remanded till Friday (yes-
terday), in. order to give the police an opportunity to apprehend a
fellow, supposed to be, with anoth r named Clarke, now in custody,
an accomplice in or accessory to the robbery.—Bedford Observer.
ST. JOIIN'S GATE, HoxToN.—On Friday evening
last, the seventh anniversary of that highly respectable Institution,
the Provident Benefit Society, was celebrated at the Jerusalem Ta-
vern, when the members partook of a substantial supper, which re-
flected great credit on Mr. Dawson, the respected host. Mr. Thomas
Daintree, and Mr. Alexander Bowen, presided as chairman mid
vice-chairman, and avers supported by Messrs. Besley, Moisten,
George, Martin, Brown, Deacon, and James Lenard, the venerable
secretary. After several songs had been sung, the chairman read a
statement of the rise and progress of the Institution, in which he
stated that the receipts amounted to 3,337!. 9s. Rd., and that
1,0311. ls. Sd. had been afforded in sickness ; 397!. Is. Oil. in funerals,
and 3031. 9s. in lying-in ; in addition to which the members had re-
ceived, in the shape of dividends, the sum ofB3Bl. 7s. 9d., and that at the
present time the sum of 192/: was in the Savings' Bank towards the
superannuation fund. This statement evidently gave great satisfac-
tion to the members.
