Thomas Spriggs, potboy at the Blue Posts, Totten-
ham court-road, said, about half-past eleven o'clock, the
prosecutor and a cabman were drinking at the bar. The
cabman had been out driving for the prisoner, who was
sitting in the tap-room. The prisoner, after some time,
went to the bar, and asked the other man for the
money he had earned. The other man told him to
have some some gin and water with them, and the pri-
soner drank with the gentleman and the other man.
About five minutes past twelve, witness opened the
door, and let the gentleman and the other man out.,
About ten minutes after this witness let in two persons,
and he then saw the gentleman and the other man talk-
ing together on the opposite side of the way. In a few
minutes witness let out the prisoner and the other two
persons. Witness looked out, but he did not see eit_tier
the gentleman or the man who went out with '-„,itn„ The
man who went out with the gentleman was known by
the nickname of Jemmy Green.
James Clark, C 55, saidcnatabout half-past twelve
on Friday week, as te was going up Crown-street, he
saw a cab stamtng- inVle street and a man on the box.
The man ".11 the box called out, " Here—here comes a
Bobb:i, I The prisoner immediately ran out of George-
r`...rd with a whip in his hand, jumped on the box, took
Vie reins from the other man, turned round the cab, and
drove furiously away. Witness pursued, and succeeded
in stopping the cab. He then asked the man what was
the matter ? The prisoner replied, nothing at all. Wit-
ness asked why he drove off at such a rapid rate ? but
the prisoner made no answer ; and witness, after taking
the number of the cab, and the number of the prisoner's
badge, which was beneath his coat, told him he might
go on. The prisoner replied, " You —, and you may
go, too." Witness returned to George-yard, and, on
looking about, he saw a gentleman (the prosecutor)
lying on his side without his hat, bleeding profusely
from a wound on his temple and insensible. Witness took
the prosecutor to Dr. Kenny's surgery, in High-street,
and had the wound dressed. The prosecutor did not
recover his consciousness for some time. Witness took
him to his lodgings and there left him.
Police-sergeant Wells, C 1, said after he had received
intimation from the last witness of what had occurred,
he set about finding the prisoner. He discovered him at
last in bed in a house, N 0.3, Petty•place, Ilanway-street.
Lie asked the prisoner his name, and the prisoner gave it
rea lily. He asked him if he was in Crown-street the
overnight with his cab. The prisoner said he was. Ile
had followed a gentleman to know what time ho would
call for him the next morning, to take him out of town,
but he had missed the gentleman. Witness took
the prisoner to Mr. Green s lodgings. The prisoner
said to Mr. Green, " I didn't strike the blow." Mr.
Green answered, "You are the vagabond." The pri-
soner admitted that there was another man with him,
and that this man's name was Darby.
In defence, the prisoner proceeded to give a circum-
stantial detail of the affair.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, March 8.
EXPENSES TO WITNESSES.—In a case which occu-
pied some time respecting a fiat, a question arose whe-
ther witnesses summoned to prove an act of bankruptcy
were entitled to their expenses. One was an attorney,
and the other an auctioneer, bo*,,b residing in town, and
both claimed their expenses :or two days' attendance.
Mr. Commissioner Gout:nun:4 was of opinion that the
witnesses must be paht, If their testimony was required.
The attorney tO t'ne fiat strenuously urged that they
were bound to 'tend, and to give evidence.
The matter was referred to the taxing-master, who
was of opinion that the parties were entitled to a guinea
a day. They again came into Court, and again the at-
torney resisted payment as they were town witnesses.
He produced u case decided before Lord Tenterden.
The attorney procured other witnesses who made O.:Lt
an act of bankruptcy, and he did not require the r.ssist-
ance of the two persons summoned. He had previously
declined to pay them, and stated his intention to appeal
to the Court of Review.

At the termination of the business, one of the parties,
an auctioneer, applied to the Court. Ile wished to know
whether he had no remedy against the person who had
summoned him. He had been obliged to postpone a sale
he had to-day, and had bee❑ put to great inconvenience.
Commissioner GouLnriTAN was of opinion that, as the
parties had not been mquired to give evidence, they were
not entitled to payment. They resided in town, and he
was afraid that tviey had no remedy. If, however, they
had been requ'xrd to give evidence, lie should have or-
dered payment to have been made in the first instance,
but as thc.tr testimony had been dispensed with, he had
no polvvc to grant the application.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
OLD COURT.
(Before the ItEcotwint.)
W,n. TIVA was indicted for stealing 193. from the
person of Henessy ; and the indictment further
.chargel that the said robbery was attended with vio-
lenc P.

It appeared that the prosecutor had been spending the
.evening with some friend;, and was returning home at
a late hour, in that state in which parties often find them-
selves after spending a pleasant evening, when he was
induced to hire the prisoner's cab, in which, however, he
had proceeded but a very short distance before the priso-
ner drew up, a-sd, taking advantage of his situation,
dragged him out of the vehicle, and picked his pocket
of the above sum. The prosecutor, however, was suffi-
ciently aware of what was going on to call for the assis-
tance of the police, by whom the prisoner was taken
'leo custody.
The Jury found the prisoner Guilty.
The RECORDER said that it was necessary to make an
example of persons in whom, from the nature of their
occupation, the public were compelled to repose a cer-
tain degree of confidence, and where that confidence was
abused, particularly where, in addition to that, gross
violence was resorted to, a severe sentence must follow.
lie then sentenced the prisoner to be transported for
tee y, ars.
John Douglis Niven pleaded Guilty to an indictment
charging him with stealing in a dwellitg-house, and
_
was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment.
John Green pleaded Guilty to a similar indictment,
and received a similar sentence.

Mr. llAnDwzox saFd the prisoner stood fully com-
mitted, but ho should hive him brought up again in a
fortnight, to give Limo to the police to look after the
other man.

A FLOCK OF SHEEP DROWNED.—On Tuesday
last an occurrence took place in the parish of Uldale, by
which no fewer than eighty sheep lost their lives. It seems
that the sheep, which belonged to Mr. Joseph Thwaite, of
Murk Holme, in Uldale, had strayed into a neighbour's
field, and, in order to dislodge them, the services of a dog
were had recourse to. The sheep, frightened by their
pursuer, ran upon a sheet of water named Little 'yarn, which
was frozen over ; but, crowding together, and remaining in
this position for same time, their weight, added to the heat
thus engendered, caused the ice to give way; and the- whole
lot were precipitated into the water and drowned. Seventy-
fair of their dead bodies were got out next day, and since the
remainder have been discovered, but are of no value whatever
beyond the price their skins may realise fur their unfortunate
owner.— Cumberland Pacriuet.
BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, MARCH 7.—Nothing
whatever is doing in our market, nor will there be until the
trade know the final intentions of Government, respecting
the duties. From what transpired in the House, , however,
last evening, it now seems evident that the Minister intends'
to adhere to his original proposition as regards the classifica-
tion of sugars=a plan full of difficulties and objections, as
acknowledged by all practical and unprejudiced parties con-
versant with the sugar trade.—Bristol Mercury.
STOCKTON-ON-TEES, MARCH 7.—The brig Alpha,
of Whitby, struck on Shields Bar in coming out, and put
into the Tees, this afternoon, leaky.

NEW COURT.
(Before the CommoN SERGEANT.)
Wm. Williams was acquitted on the charge of stealing
several pieces of ccpper from the factory of Messrs. Mad-
dox and Co., East Hackney.
Wrn. Alexander was found Guilty of entering the pas-
sage:of a house in Middleton-square, and stealing there-
from two hats and twOs umbrellas, the property of Mr.
Sinclair.—Sentence, transportation for seven years.
Daniel Sinclair was charged with stealing one loaf,
value 3J., but the iudieta.-,ut failing he was discharged.
