The principal evidence against the prisoner was a con-
fession made by himself to the police.
The jury found the prisoner Gulley, and he was seri-
tt need to twenty years transportation.
(His Lordship, in passing sentence, intimated that im-
mediate steps would be taken for the recal of the inno-
cent convict, Mason, and that Government, in all likeli-
hood, would award him compensation.)
(Before Mr. Justice CRESSWELL.)
William Barker and John Holden were charged with
having, on the Bth of November last, at Stanfield, in the
West Riding, feloniously assaulted John Baiston, and
stolen from his person one 10/. note, two 51. notes, 70
sovereigns, 20 half-sovereigns, 20 shillings, and two
books, the property of the said John Baiston.

. .
The prosecutor identified Barker as being one of the
men who robbed him on the night in question. He also
stated that Barker, prior to the robbery having been
committed, was in his employ as a labourer.
His Lordship having summed up, the jury, after being
absent about half an hour, returned a verdict of Guilty
against both prisoners.—Sentence deferred.

NORFOLK CIRCUIT.—Bury St. Edmunds, nee. 12.

(Before Mr. Justice WILLIANts.)
Charles Hogg, aged 24, and Charles Scutchen, aged 19,
were indicted for burglariously entering the shop, being
part of the dwelling-house of Simeon Fenton, on the
23d of October, and stealing three silver watches, two
silver watch-cases, one time-piece, and several other
articles.

Mr. Gurdon prosecuted, and Mr. O'Malley defended
both prisoners,
It appeared by the evidence, that on the night of the
burglary the prosecutor returned home soon after eleven,
and on applying the key to the lock of the shop-door, he
found it unlocked; he then pushed open the door, and in
the act of doing so, his knuckles touched somebody on
the breast; a man immediately rushed by him, mid a
second person attempted to do the same, but he secured
him, and he turned out to be the prisoner Scutchen. A
neighbour of the prosecutor, who had accomp.,nied him
as far as the shop-door, and was then proceeding home,
heard the prosecutor call for assistance; he immediately
ran back, and just as he arrived at the prosecutor's house
he saw a man coming out of the door, apparently over
the prosecutor's shoulder. He endeavoured to seize him,
and, after a struggle, both went to the ground, and at
the same time three silver watches were thrown into
the street. The man escaped and ran down
Abbey-gate-street, several persons following in pursuit.
The most remarkable part of the case was the courageous
conduct of a " fair" young neighbour of the prosecutor,
who, it appeared, on hearing the cry of "stop thief,"
immediately opened her door and looked out, and seeing
a man corning up Abbey-gate-street closely pursued by
two persons, instantly placed herself in the middle of the
street, and, as soon as the man came up, rushed at him,
and attempted to seize him by the collar, and in the act
of doing so the man gave her a violent blow on the face,
which knocked her down ; but fortunately the night was
sufficiently light to enable the " fair assailant" to identify
the man as being the prisoner Hogg, who was well known
to her; he was also recognised by two or three persons
who met him running up Abbey-gate-street.
Mr. Justice WILLIAMS smeared up the case, and the
jury, without the slightest hesitation, returned a verdict
of Guilty against both prisoners.
A former conviction was proved against Hogg, and he
was sentenced to be transported for life, and in conse-
quence of the prisoner Scutchen receiving a good cha-
racter, he was sentenced to one year's imprisonment with
hard labour.

The Learned JUDGE, in the kindest manner possible,
intimated to the young woman who had displayed such
great presence of mind, that if a amen sum of money would
be in any way acceptable, he should feel much pleasure
in ordering it to be presented to her.

The young woman appeared much pleased with such
an unexpected mark of his Lordship's approbation.
William Ward, alias Ives, aged 21, and William
Adams, aged 23, were indicted for burglariously entering
the dwelling-house of William Jennings, at Horharu,
and stealing therefrom bank notes, gold, silver, and cop-
per, amounting altogether to 851.—Verdict, Guilty.
Former convictions for felony were put in, and both
the prisoners were sentenced to be transported for life.
The prisoner Howe, who was convicted yesterday of
the serious offence of arson, was sentenced this morning
to fifteen years' transportation.

WESTERN CI RCUlT.—Taunion, Dec. 12.
(Before Mr. Aron ALDERSON.)
George Freenzun and Henry Hall were in4ieted for a
burglary in the house of William lioldatock, situated at
Batheaston.

Mr. Salmon prosecuted ; the prisoners were unde
fended.

The prosecutor in this case had left his house secure
at nine o'clock on the morning of the robbery. He re-
turned to it again about five, when it was still safe, and
then left for the residence of the gentleman for whom he
worked as gardener. From information which he re
ceived, he hastily returned to his house, taking a man of
the name of Bailey, whom he met on his way, with him,
and arming himself and Bailey with good sticks. On
reaching his house, he saw a light in the top window,
and calling out, he observed the light put out, and pre-
sently afterwards observed two heads put out of the
window, which was thrown up. He called on Bailey to
shoot them, in order to intimidate the robbers. Pre-
sently one of the men jumped out of the under window,
who was immediately laid hold of by the prosecutor.
Bailey secured the other man. They had removed various
things, but had not carried off anything.
The jury immediately returned a verdict of Guilty
against both, and they were sentenced by the Court to
fifteen years' transportation.
George Pritchard, was indicted for the manslaughter
of his brother, Samuel Pritchard.
The death it seemed was the result of accident.
The jury immediately Acquitted the prisoner.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(YESTERDAY.)
MA NSIOIV-HO V SE.
A boy, aged about 15 years, named Wm. Bowers,
who is what is called a bobber, or fish carrier, at Bil-
lingsgate, was brought before the Lord Mayor for an
extraordinary assault upon an old man, who acts as a
fish porter to and from the fish-boats.
The boy, who was represented as the very terror
of the market, in consequence of the dangerous tricks
he is in the habit of playing, watched Daniel Cun-
ningham, the complainant, carrying a barrel of sprats
to shore, and the moment the poor man landed, made
a head-over-heels tumble betweeni his legs, which
threw him down, and by the fall cut his forehead.
Upon recovering his legs the complainant missed his
sprats, but he did not scribe the robbery to the de-
fendant, whom he believed to be merely mischievous,
and to have no spice of thief in his composition. The
boy, it seemed, could not conquer his propensity to
annoy and afflict old men, and the complainant had
frequently suffered from the passion so injuriously de-
veloped.
The LORD MAYOR asked Mr. Goldham, the clerk
of the market, whether he knew anything of the de-
fendant ?—Mr. Goldhatn said there never came to
Billingsgate a boy, or anything in the shape of a boy,
who had such brains for annoying people. lie was, in
fact, the very personification of mischief. Twenty
times a-day complaints were made against him by the
industrious people about the market, and everything
had been tried to cure him of the disease, except the
Lord Mayor's authority.

The LORD MAYOR----*ell, prisoner, what have you
to say to the charge ? You have not only grossly
assaulted this poor man, but you have been the cause
of the loss of his fish.

The boy replied that the old gentleman fancied the
thing in his cups, for that ho was drunk there was
no mistake.

Mr. Goldham stated that the complainant was per-
fectly sober, and was a most industrious and decent
man.

The boy—Why, he staggered over me as I was
cutting along, and when he fell I was undermost.
That don't look sober, does it ? As for the fish, I
knew a boy ran away with it, but I never touched it.
The father of the prisoner—I hope, my Lord, you
and Mr. Goldham will be as light as possible on him;
for, although he is so mischievous that I can do
nothing with him, yet everybody is fond of him.
The LORD MAYOR—What money does he make in
the week ? The prisoner's father—That I don't
know; but I know that he gambles it all away in
tossing.

The Loan MAYOR---Will you be answerable that
he do no more mischief in the market ? The pri-
soneT's father—I am really afraid, your Lordship.
You have no idea at all of the mischief he does.
The complainant--I don't care about the loss of
the fish. All I want is, to have myself protected
against his tricks.
The Loan MAYOR—You must be paid for your
loss, as well as be secured from future annoyance.
Prisoner, your conduct has been so bad, that even
your father, whose attachment to you is quite evi-
dent, hesitates to be bound for your future good be-
haviour, so that it becomes my duty to have you
locked up by yourself till the 4th of January, when
your trial will take place.
Prisoner—Oh, my Lord, don't send me to prison,
and I'll never offend again. He then cried bitterly.
The complainant warmly interceded, and
The LORD MAYOR said he should venture himself
to take the prisoner's promise to pay for the fish in a
week, and not to commit any offence of the kind
again ; assuring him, at the same time, that if it should
be necessary to bring him up again, nothing should
save him from the rigours of a gaol.
The boy then went away with his father, to all
appearance quite subdued.
. big fellow, named Hollingsworth, who is fore-
man to Mr. Jackson, the contractor for building the
Royal Exchange, was charged by Mr. Atkins, a gen-
tleman who resides in the neighbourhood of Conlin!,
with having committed an assault upon him, by
sprinkling him with a brush dipped in mortar and
water.

Mr. Atkins said that he stopped for about half, or,
at most, three-quarters of a minute, to look at one of
the men working before' the Royal Exchange, when
the defendant dipped a brush in some dirt, and flung
it about. The brush bespattered several persons, but
witness in particular, and when he expostulated with
the ruffianly fellow, he was told that he should have
the whole pail of water over him if he did not go off.
Two other gentlemen corroborated the account
given by the complainant.
11011ingsWorth mid that 'he-was responsible for

keeping the place at which the men worked, in front
of the Royal Exchange, free from a mob of boys,
by whom they were constantly interfered with and
prevented from pursuing their work. He found that
the use of a stick or a whip made them grumble, and
therefore he used the brush dipped in water, which
he found efficacious. He denied that he had threat-
ened to throw the pail of water over the complainant,
or that he had seen the complainant at all.
It was proved beyond the shadow of a doubt„ in
answer to questions asked by the Lord Mayor of the
defendant himself, arising from the defence, that the
assault was quite unprovoked and unwarrantable; and
His LORDSHIP called upon Hollingsworth to give
his own security to .the amount of 401. to appear to
answer at the sessions.

Mr. Atkins having consented to accept an apology,
upon the payment of the costs by the defendant, who
made the apology in a most ungracious manner, he
was discharged.

11.M.5. DARING.
The following letter has been addressed by Captain
Matson, of the Daring, to Mr. Joseph White, the
builder :

" H.M.S. Daring, Dec. 1, 1844.
" My dear Sir,—We have had only one trial since I
closed my last letter; with respect to Daring, it was the
sane story over again; but I am able to give you a much
better account of the Waterwitch, who showed her
strength, and hung pretty close to our lee quarters.
" On the 28th November, tried sailing by the wind, in
fresh breezes, most of the brigs being under single-reefed
main, and double-reefed fore topsails, and occasionally
top-gallant-sails ; Daring had single-reefed fore and
main topsails, and for a short time main top gallant sail;
but as I had it all my own way, I took it in, and kept
under easy sail, winning the race in a canter. Water-
witch carried a press of sail all day, had top-gallant
sails set almost all the time, and appeared to stand up ad-
mirably. Osprey carried away her jib-boom, and
Cruiser main top-gallant yard, soon after starting ; and
Mutme missed stays in first tack, and afterwards carried
away her jib boom—the third since leaving port. Pan-
taloon did nothing ; we were sailing, for the most part,
against a hard sea, and she therefore went boldly to lee-
ward, although they have filled all her tanks with salt
water. At the end of a six hours and a quarter's trial
we had gained as follows :—On Waterwitch, 1,500
yards; Espiegle, 4,800 yards; Flying Fish, 7,500 yards;
Pantaloon, abort: five miles—but her distance could not
be measured, as she was barely in sight ; Osprey, Mu-
tine, and Cruiser, were out of sight, dead to leeward,
about eight miles dist4nt. Had I carried top-gallant
sails I might have been another mile to windward; but
as the weather was so thick, I did net think that any
angles could have been taken ; moreover, I wished to
show that we could beat them all under less sail. The

Waterwitch lost a great deal every time in tacking; she
had not men enough to work . her properly, having
twenty-two men on her sick list out of her small crew.
All the brigs have very large sick-lists, averaging from
fifteen to twenty, owing to their being so very wet.
Darint;'s sick list has always been the smallest ; I have
now only eight, and we have very seldom exceeded ten,
mostly boys and Marines, who suffer from sea-sickness.
" One of my officers yesterday received a note from a
friend on board the Firebrand, who says there is but one
opinion on board the Firebrand respecting Daring ; I
have written several letters respecting her capabilities,
copies of which I will send you with this letter. I think
the Espiegle is decidedly rising in the scale ; and I think
that the Mutine would have beaten the Flying Fish yes-
terday had she not carried away her jib-boom—l never
saw her make so good a start: she is generally the very
worst. The Commodore gave me an order to supply
my spare jib-boom to Mutine, thinking, I suppose, that
Daring is the least likely to carry oho away—l am glad
of it, for I hope to get another in its place a couple of
inches stouter.

" December 3d, off the Lizard.—We made a glorious
flank yesterday, running into the Channel; we tried
with the wind a-beam, going 10i knots, under all plain
sail, except royals. At starting Daring was No. 6 in
the line, but she soon passed them all, and led the field
in fine style, gradually increasing her distance every
half hour. At the end of a four hours' trial we had
gained as follows :—On Espiegle, 2,400 yards ; Mutine,
2,540 yards ; Flying Fish, 3,080 yards ; Osprey, 3,200
yards; Waterwitch, 4,800 yards; Cruiser, 5,600 yards ;
and Pantaloon, 10,000 yards. You will bee that although
the Daring beat them all so much, the other four large
brigs were very near together—only 800 yards difference
between them. The little Waterwitch did very well ;
she cannot be expected to run with the large brigs, but
she showed herset off in comparison to Pantaloon. The
Waterwitch tried to carry a fore topmast-stud-sail, but
it did her more harm than good, and she took it in.
Pantaloon was sailing on her beam. ends all the after-
noon—l certainly never saw a man-of-war heel over so
much before, she must have sailed with an inclination of
about thirty degrees ; she does not appear to be any
stiffer than before she filled her water tanks.

" At the end of the trial yesterday we were close in
shore—about three miles from the Wolf Rock; the Com-
modore then made the signal to part company, and make
the beat of our way back to the rendezvous, off the
Lizard. I put the canvass on the Daring, and we were
at our post by daylight, where we met the Commodore—
the only vessel in sight. Omprey made her appearance
this afternoon ; but at sunset neither of the others had
arrived.

" December 4.—Our trials are now over, and we are
making the best of our way to Plymouth, with orders.
to chase the Firebrand to the Eddystone ; the wind is
light and baffling, and it depends more on chance than
on good sailing who gets there first; however, I mean to
see what I can do by daylight. Perhaps I may not have
time to add anything more than to offer my since-re and
hearty congratulations on your success in giving to the
service so matchless a brig us the Daring.
" Believe me, yours very sincerely,
(Signed) " I-I. J. MATSON.
" Mr. Joseph White, ship-builder, East Cowes."

were unable to get the plans forwarded before tb.o7of

duced to a race against time. A special messeef;do
dispatched with a chaise and four horses from rd,,M
