TINION•HALL

Waiter Baker was charged with administering aqua:-
fortis to a w_mnali named Sitldenham, with intent to
kill her.

it appeared the parties were acquainted, and that on
Sunday night they met, and while they were walking,
the prisoner took a phial out of his pocket, and saying
the contents were oil, poured some down her throat, and
then ran away. The defendant, finding that the liquid
burnt her mouth, and some portion falling on her clothe 3
burnt them also, 'hastened to the hospital, where anti-
dotes were administered.

The prisoner denied the charge, and declared she had
taken the phial with the aquafortis from his pocket, and
drank some of it, and that in frying to wrest it from her
grasp, some of it went on his hands and burnt them.
The prisoner was remanded until to-morrow.
THAMES POLICE.

Oe Wednesday, Mr. Sharpe, proprietor of the North
Briton public•house, Stepney, appeared to answer the
charge of permitting riotous and disorderly conduct in
his house.

A woman of the town, whose name our reporter did not
catch, deposed that she was in the house when a scuffle
took place. A man named Miles insulted another named
Andrews very much, and then a scuffle ensued in front of
the bar. There were four rounds, after which some per-
son asked was not that enough ? to which Miles
answered, " No." They then set to again, when Miles
fell and cut his head. The landlord was inside the bar.
Some persons, and among others the witness, tried to go
inside the bar, but the landlord pushed them out. He
objected to their fighting, and said, " We'll have no
more of this." He did not come between them, having
enough to do to keep the people from the bar.
Mr. Pelham, for the defence, said the North Briton
was what is commonly called a night-house, and was
open to an early hour in the morning for the purpose of
affotling refreshments to persons frequenting the Pavi-
lion Theatre, the principal place of amusement to those
residing at the eastern end of the metropolis. It could
not be expected that persons frequenting the bar of such
an establishment should be the most respectable, but for
a house of the kind the landlord had, for a c,nsidertlble
time, eenducted it in a highly creditable manner. The
pariour was frequented by gentlemen and tradesmen for
the purpose of social entt,rtainment. (Sotae of whom
he called to speak to the transaction, and to show that
the defendant did all he could to check the disturbance.)
After hearing them,
Mr. BALLANTINE said, that though well disposed to
make every allowance for that kind of house, it was clear
that a serious di,turbance had taken place. There were
prostitutes and other disorderly persons at the bar, in
addition to which a man had been seriously wounded,
and none of the respectable t, adesmen and gentlemen
looked after him, a poor wretched prostitute being the
only person who looked after him, by going for a cab
and taking him tinder her care to the hospital. He would
mark his sense of the proceeding by inflicting the highest
penalty, namely 54
The defendant, through Mr. Pelham, gave notice of
appeal. •_• •_

Mr. Jahn. William Gray, plumber in the Commercial-
read, vras•eharged with 'assaulting a ltd named Christo-
pher James Lewis, who had been bound to him from the
Parish of I.4imehoi;se.

Lewis stated, that on Monday last his master charged
him with idleness, and took up a rope, with which he
heat him in a most cruel manner. His back was sore

ever since.

Douglas, the warrant officer, examined the boy's back,
which was nearly black all over. His arms were also
black, and he seemed tO have been punished cruelly.
Daniel Murphy, in the employment of the defendant,
said the boy was idle and negligent. He was rent with a
thesia.ge on the previous Tuesday, and stayed away so
long that he was fined 25., being at the rate of 3dv. an
hour.

The lad said he was ill and obligod to go horse. He
had already suffered for hi.. illness by the tine,
Murphy added, that iiside6 being idle and negligent,
he eras also very insolent.

Mr. BALLANTINE said that did not warrant such Px..
tretry_. iil-unge. It was evident that the boy her] been
very cruelly beaten, and the defendant must pay a fine
of 40s.

The money was instantly

AFFECTING STiftRY.

At the Maidstcne Session:,, Sarah Greengrove,
a girl about iift.:et, yearA Wtii charged with steal-
ing ten turnips, value 4d., the property of Mr. Charles
Frederick Baxter.

James Smith, a man in the employ of Mr. Baxter,
stated, that on g.sing into the field yesterday (Tuesday)
morning, about six o'clock, he observed the prisoner
pulling turnips ; he went up to her, when she dropped
them and walked away, but was apprehended in the
course of the morning.
The girl denied taking ten, but stated that she had
come from Marden tnat morning, where she had been
hopping, and being very hungry and thirsty, went into
the field and drew four turnips.
Mr. ELLts said, there was no direct evidence of her
having taken ten turnips, but from her own admission
she bad taken four under the circumstances stated. It
did not appear that she was one of those that had com-
mitted depredations there before, and he should leave it
for Mr. Baxter to use his own discretion in going any
further with the case.

Mr. Baxter said he wished to press the case, as he had
lost a great many turnips, and he had be(n sub.,ect, to
several severe depredations lately on his farm.
Mr. ELLts thought this a very different case to that
of an old offender.

them, and he was determined to make an example of t"
first one.
Mr. aus regretted very much that his appeal to .74r.
Baxter had no effect, for he felt extremely sorry to be,
obliged to send her to prison ; but as Mr. Baxter seemea,
determined to press the charge they had no alternstive
but to do that. She was then sent;nced to pay 4d.' the
value of the turnips, 3s. 6d. costs, and 6d. penalty.
Prisoner said she had no money, and was ordered
sit down.
Shortly after a boy entered the Court, crVng bitterly,
and on going towards the bench said that e had taker;
his shoes from off his feet and pawned them to pay for
hi. sister. He then gave the money to the magistrates
clerk, Mr. Case, and the girl was discharged.
We understand that the money was refunded to tbe
boy, and he immediately went to redeem his shoes.
