THE SIJN, LONDON, SATURDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 14, 1844.

OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Stafrord, Dec. 11.
The assizes for Shropshire terminated yesterday after-
noon, and Mr. Justice Coltman was enabled to reach
Stafford by about ten at night, when the commission was
immediately opened. The labours of the Learned Judge
have been exceedingly severe during the present circuit,
the unexpected pressure of business obliging him at
Gloucester, Worcester, and Shrewsbury, to continue in
Court after midnight indeed on Monday night the
trials were protracted until nearly three in the morning.
These lengthened and onerous duties, during such severe
weather, have been productive of serious annoyances to
many, if dangerous results should not follow to some ;
and we regret to add that his Lordship is himself a
sufferer from the inclemency of the season and his ardu-
ous avocations, which have nearly deprived him of the
power of articulation.
At ten this morning the Learned Judge attendA
Christ Church, in the north suburbs of Stafford, the fine
old parish church of St. Mary's being still under repair,
escorted by the High Sheriff (Mr. Ralph Sneyd) and the
municipal authorities of the borough, where a very ex-
cellent sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr. SutclifT,
the sheriff's chaplain, after which his Lordship proceeded
to the Crown Court, when a full grand jury was empan-
nelled, Viscount Ingestrie, M.P., being the foreman.
The address was one of unusual brevity, and the Learned
Judge was scarcely audible during the delivery of it, in
consequence of the severe cold and hoarseness with
which he is affected.
Charles Lear, aged 23, was indicted' or having at Ifar-
borne, on the 23d of June, feloniously and maliciously
cut and wounded John Whitfield, with intent to do him
some grievous bodily harm.
Mr. Yardley appeared for the prosecution, and Mr.
Iluddleston for the prisoner.
The prosecutor, a servant in the employ of the Bir-
mingham Canal Co:npany, had been directed, with
several others, to protect the waters of their employers
from the nets and lines of unauthorised fishermen.
During the night several trespassers were detected, two
of whom stoutly resisted the authority of the watchers.
and were enabled by the aid of a mob, who assembled
very quickly on the commencement of the disturbance,
to maintain a protracted fight, 'in which the assailants
were ultimately defeated. About two .hours after the
cessation of the conflict, as the prosecutor and his corn
panions were passing under a bridge, the prisoner, who
had been active with the mob at the previous fight,
dropped a brickbat on the head of the prosecutor, from
the effects of which violence he was rendered insensible,
and continued for many weeks in so precarious a state
that the trial of the prisoner was postponed at the summer
assises, in consequence of Whitfield's inability to apfear
as a w itnese.

From the evidence of the surgeon, it appeared that the
skull of the prosecutor had been fractured by the blow,
but that no rupture of the cuticle had taken place,
whereupon

Mr. Justice Covrx in'imated that the charge of
felony could not be supported.
The prisoner was convicted of an assault. and in con-
sideration of his previous imprisonment was sentenced
only to four months' hard labour.

Abraham Sharrait, aged 2:3, and John Pickering, aged
96, two resolute and formidable-looking fellows, were
charged with a burglary in the house of Edith Bourne,
at Elfurd, on the 20th of September, and with stealing a
variety of articles therein.

(Before Mr. Justice Witheres.)
His LORDSHIP having briefly charged, the grand jury,
with whom he eympethieed on the necessity which ex-
isted for their being called together at a distance from
their respective homes at this. inclement season, while he
congratulated them on the • smallness of the calendar,
proceeded to the despatch of business as soon as the ma-
terials were supplied to him by their labours.
John Lukes, aged 25, stood charged with having bur-
glariously entered the dwelling-house of William Jack-
son, at Clare, on the.26th of November last, and stealing
therein six pencilcases, twine silver coin, and. two brass
candlesticks.
Mr. O'Malley appeared for the prosecution.
The prosecutor is the village sehovlaisister of Clare,
a small village-like town on the borders of this county,
his school-room, wherein the "young, idea" was taught
to shoot, forming part of his residence. This im-
portant place might, , perhaps, have, been left in
unconsidered security., of so, however,. for, though
locked up on the night of, the day named in - the indict-
ment, which was. Saturday, the outer door was found
broken open on the following morning, and . the articles
in question purloined by the intruder.. „Among other
particular parts of the system.. of education pursued by
the prosecutor, he was in the habit of delivering to his
pupils a peculiar paper for the purposes of taking notes
of the pastor's sermons, which from that circumstance
came to be designated in the establishment as." sermon
paper." This article, however, was. sometimes put to
eiler.uses, and was occasionally applied to tho candles,
in order to steady
.them in the, sockets of the missing
candlesticks. Not long after the. robbery,. a veritable
dealer in marine stores who hawked red herrings, taking
in exchange for .them pence when his -customers had
them, or " any odd thing or so by which he could ,turn
a penny," called at the prisoner's .house and sold him
three herrings for lid. each, and took some broken up
brass candlesticks in payment, which he in turn sold
again at Sudbury to, a general dealer, by whom they were
stopped, as part of the schoolmaster's property. Among
the pieces shown to the prosecutor was one of the
sockets, which being examined was found to contain a
lining of " sermon paper.".,
The prisoner when called on for his defence denied all
knowledge of the pieces of brass, and put into. the box it
female friend, who deposed to her having found them
herself in a field, not long before they were handed over
to the hawker; but her .statement being. directly at va-
riance with her conduct-during the.dealing, and. the evi-
dence of the 'hawker, the jury instantly convicted the
prisoner, and he was sentenced to six nionthe"-ianprison-

dicted fur felonious setting

hall, on
,the 9th. of March, the property of Thomas
Dykes.. •
Mr. O'Malley and Mr. Conch were counsel for the
prosecutien; and Mr. Prendergast defended the pri-
soner.

Mr: Meteyard conducted the prosecution, and the
prisoners defended themselves.
On the night of Friday, the 2Gth of September, the
dwelling-house of the prosecutrix, a maiden lady of re-
spectability, residing in the vicinity of Tamworth, was
made secure by the ser►ants, who retired to rest at
about ten o'clock. In the morning all the doors were
discovered open, and it was ascertained that during the
night some persons had entered by the kitchen window.,
an iron stanchion from the frame of which was found to
have been violently forced out. On the Monday follow-
ing the two prisoners were arrested by a constable on
the banks of the canal between Tam worth and Birming-
ham, with a variety of articles stolen from the house of
Miss Bourne on the person of each.
The witnesses were subjected to Very long and imper-
tinent cross-examinations from the prisoner Sharratt,
who conducted himself throughout the trial with an un-
paralleled effrontery, and evidently showed himself to be
no novice in the proceedings of a criminal court.
They were found Guilty ; an:: a previous conviction
for a similar offence having been established against
Sharratt, he was sentenced to ten years' transportation,
and Pickering to eighteen months' hard labour.
The calendar contains the names of 51 prisoners,
whose offences may be thus classed .—Murder, 3 ; man-
slaughter, 4 ; forgery, I ; rape, 2 ; arson, I ; burglary,
13 ; maliciously wounding, 12 ; night-poaching, 1 ;
horse-stealing, 2 ; procuring abortion, 1 ; concealment of
birth, 3 ; unnatural offence, 1 ; and the remainder for
larcenies.

MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—Derby, Dec. 11. •
(Before Mr. Justice Parresoic.)
THE GLOSSOP BURGLARIES.
This morning the family of the Swans, who for some
time pest have been the terror of the northern part of
this county, were placed at the bar charged with burg-
lary, or otherwise receiving property knowing it to have
been stolen. The names of the prisoners were John
Swa-', the elder, Peggy Swan (father and mother), James
Swan, George Swan, Samuel Swan, and John Swan
(brothers), and Robert Hartley and Mary Ann Hartley
(siiter and brother in-law). The indictment charged
James Swan, George Swan, and Samuel Swan, with
having, on the 14th of July last, burglariously broken
into the dwelling-house of Mr. Joseph-Bennett, of Ash-
ingeloligh, in the parish of Glossop, and stolen thereout
4 silver plated tankard, half-a-doz, n knives and forks,
one ring, a five-shilling coin of the reign of Charles IL,
and various articles of wearing apparel. John Swan,
the el?.er, 'Peggy Swan, John Swan the yOunger, and
Robert and Mary Ann Hartley, were charged with
having received the same articles, knowing them to have
been stolen.
Mr. Wildman and Mr. Macaulay conducted the pro
secution, and Mr. Wilmore defended the prisoners John
Swan the elder, Samuel Swan, Peggy Swan, and the
Hartleys. As the trial lasted from eleven in the morn-
ing until seven in the evening, a detailed report is out
of the question, and a mere narrative must suffice.
The prosecutor, Mr. Bennett, is a respectable farmer
residing with his wife and daughter, a young lady about
eighteen or nineteen years of age, at Ashingclough, in
Glossop, just at the point where the counties of York,
Lancaster, Chester, and Derby form a junction. Within
a short period a sun lined with his parents in the house,
but in consequence of marriage, although he still assists
in his father's business, young Bennett sleeps on the
Saturday and Sunday nights at Hayfield, a village some
distance from his father's premises. In addition to car-
rying on the business of a farmer, Mr. Bennett, who is
understood to be a persen Of independent income, is the
collector of the property-tax ; and it was thought that on
the night his house was broken into he was in possession
of a very large sum of money. His house is situated in
one of those woody, secluded dells, which are so cha-
racteristic of the scenery of North Derbyshire and the
West Riding of Yorkshire. About one o'clock on the
morning of Monday, the 15th of July, the prosecutor was
alarmed by a noise on the stairs and the bursting in of
his bed room door. Three men with their faces black-
ened entered the room and demanded his money, or if
he refused the death of himself and his family and the
burning of the house would be the consequence. The
intruders next demanded a candle. Although their faces
were blackened, Mr. Bennett to-day swore positively be
could, notwithstanding, identify the features of the pri-
soners James Swan, George Swan, and Samuel Swan.
Mrs. 13ennett told the men that the candles were in the
cellar, when James and Samuel went down stairs, and
George remained armed with a sword and pistol, as a
guard over the prosecutor and his wife. The two pri-
soners James and Samuel afterwards returned, and com-
pelled. Mr. Thnnett to leave his bed and furnishithent
with a taper. During this time, Miss Bennett, who
slept in a higher story of the house, became alarmed,
and, dtsc, n ling to her father's bed-room, saw the pri-
soners p oceeeto ransack the house. Her first excla-
mation was, " D ,n't murder my father and mother !"
The father, at the same time, interceded for the safety
of his daughter, when the prisoner George said (ad-
dressing Miss Bennett), " Curse your eyes 1 if you don't
hold your noise I'll blow your brains out." The thieves
then allowed Miss Bennett, who was in her night dress,
to get into the bed of her father and mother. James
wee armed with a bludgeon, and had in his hand when
he first entered the room a lighted taper. Samuel had a
poker, and George, as before stated, had a pistol and a
word. They remained in the house upwards of an hour,
and carried off with them the various articles already
enumeratrs chargedconnecting with the burglary with its commission,
and corroborative of Mr. Bennett's statement, is briefly
as follows :—The previous.
night the prisoners, who re-'
side at Staleybridge, in Lancashire, a distance of four-
teen miles—Ashingclough being within two miles of
Chapel-en-le-Prith—called at a beer- ahejectat Hayfield,
ncl went from there together in the d ion of Mr.

The property which was the, subject of this charge
was situate a short,way from the residence of the pro-
secutor, in a field, through the hedge of which was a gap
leading across two other fields, towards the farm of one
Pilgrim, and it abundantly appeared that it had been set
on fire on the night in question, when it was partially,
if not entirely, consumed. Many person came to the fire,
but none of them, according to the testimony of,. one
Parish, quitted it through the gap, but all, including Mr.
Pilgrim, came and neat by the road and gate.
‘No clue
was found to the offender, but on the following morning
some indistinct footmarks of a man were traced from the
stack to and through the gap. .Just before the, last
assizes at Ipswich, at which the prisoner was, charged
with and acquitted of setting fire to some other stacks
in the same parish, the grandson of the prosecutor, a
man of thirty, informed him of a singular conversation
he had had with the prisoner while they were working
together about a fortnight after the fire now in queition,
in which, as he stated, the prisoner hid confessed.hrs guilt
to him._ In consequence of this Serjeants was detained in
eustody to take his trial on the cliarge,'and the principal
witness against him was the' grandson. According to
his statement, a dispute 'arose during their work as to its
fair division between them, when the prisoner., grew
angry, and the witness said, " I suppose if you bad
your own way you would burn it, as you did my
grandfather's stack," to which the prisoner
~replied,
"How will you prove that ?" "Why," answered the
witness, "you don't know, perhaps, that I saw you lean
over the hedge and fire it." On' this the prisoner
called him " a d—d liar," and added, "You don't know
nothing about it, for .1 'got over the hedge a good bit
higher up, and pulled an armful out of one end of the
. tack, which I'set fire to, and shoved into the other end.
I then went through the gap, and laid down under the
hedge, expecting that old Pilgrim would go to the fire
that way, and if he had I intended to haVe made a better
fire at his farm; but he didn't, so I went away." When
cross-exinuned, the narrator 'of this strange confession,
not only admitted that he had not acquainted his grand-
father of, it till .July; but also that he had not mentioned
it to a constable, named Barnes, till he had himself been
charged by the prisoner's wife with assaulting her, in
conjunction with his brother, during her husband's ab
sense in prison, and compelled to find sureties to keep
the peace towards her, while he further acknowledged
that he had not long since been charged by Mr: Pilgrim
with poisoning his ducks. . .
Mr. PRENDERGAST having addressed the jury on be-
half of the prisoner, -
His LORDSHIP summed up the case to them, leaving it
to them to say whether, under all these circumstances,
they could attach such credit to the testimony of the
grandson as would lead them to a conviction-. •
The jury, having deliberated together for ten minutes,
returned a verdict of Not Guilty, whereupon'the prisoner

Bennett as property stolen from Ashingclough on the
night the robbery was committed. After completing the
search of Swan's house, the officers-proceeded to that of
Hartley, Who married a daughter of the elder Swan,
where they found the sword (identified by Mr. -Bennett
as the one ie the hand of George Swan), a blue dress, a
black silk cloak, and various. other articles, which Hart-
ley said were his property-. The evidenee, however, as
to the guilty knowledge of. the Male prisoner Hart'ey
was very weak, whilstes against his Wife Mary Ann, it
was clear and indubitable. She was found in possession
of the knives and forks stolen from Mr. Bennett, and
also a ring, upon which were engraved the Words—" Re-
member the giver." Hartley, although there was another
indictment against him for burglary, seems to have been
the victim of his unfortunate family connexions. He
bore an excellent character from his employers, and, hail
it not been for his wretched brothers-in-law, would in all
probability have passed through life as a respectable man..
Mr. Justice PATTESON, in summing up the case, re-
marked that 'he did not think the evidence materially
affected John Swan the younger and Robert Hartley.
It was true that John the younger was found in posses-
sion of some of the articles of property taken from Mr.
Bennett's, and also that other articles were found in the
possession of Hartley ; at least, they wale found in his
house. Still he did not think there was very cogent
proof of guilty knowledge against those prisoners. The.
Learned Judge went at great length through the, whole
of the evidence, and concluded by expressing his convic-
tion that the jury, who had paid such minute attention
to the case, were fully competent to draw a correct dis-
tinction between the evidence as it affected each prisoner.
The jury consulted together, for a few moments, and
then returned the following verdict :--James Swan,
George Swan, Samuel Swan, John Swan the elder,
Peggy Swan, and Mary Ann Hartley are Guilty; Robert
Hartley and John Swan the younger are Not Guilty.
Mr. Justice Parresom proceeded to pass sentence.
The prisoners had been convicted of a very fearful of-
fence, an offence for which only a few years ago they
would have forfeited their lives. There was in his opi-
nion sufficient evidence to show that the attack upon Mr.
Bennett's house was premeditated ; and he (Mr. Justice
Patteson)• was of opinion, armed as the three prisoners
were, if resistance ' had taken place murder would have
been committed. It was, indeed, a most melancholy
spectacle to see a' father and mother bringing up chil-
dren in the way in which they had brought up the pri-
sonerenow charged and convicted of the burglary. In
all probability had those young, men been differently in-
structed they would have avoided their present disgrace
and the severe punishment about to be awarded to them.
It was, however, he (Mr. Justice Patteson) believed, of
no use talking to any of the prisoners of the enormity
of the offence which they had committed. The sen-
tence of the Court was, that James Swan, George Swan,
and Samuel Swan, be transp.med fer the period'of their
natural lives; that John Swan, the :elder, and Peggy
Swan (the father and mother), be transported for 10
years; and that Mary Ann Hartley be imprisoned and
kept to hard labour for 12 calendar months.

charged with manslaughter, is fixed for 'to- morrow

ceived a suitable admonition from the Bench, to " take
heed to his ways." • •
IVilliam Howe aged 20, was also indicted for having
maliciously fired a stack of straw, and another of clover,
on the night of Saturday, Sept. 28, the property of John
Darrant, of Monk's Eleigh, In-this county.
Mr. O'Malley conducted the case for the prosecution.
The prosecutor is a large farmer, holding two farms
in the parish of Monk's Reigh, end the prisoner, who is
a labourer, dwelt with his mother in a cottage at the
further end of a, road called "Follyelane," which led
from the Plough public-house, accross a green, through
Folly-farm, towards the premises of Mr. Durrant, where
there was a goodly array of barns and stabling, sur-
rounded by quantities of stacks of all descriptions, and
which were all safe at about 10 o'clock, P.X. About
that hour the son of the prosecutor, who had had some
" dealings in nuts" with the prisoner, went to his-cot-
tage, and not finding him at home he awaited his arrival.
In a few moments he saw the prisoner coming from a
gate which opened into the lane from a close near his
father'slarrnyard, and called "-Norton's-field," at. great
speed. Crossing the lane he rushed into the house, and
was unable for some moments to reply to the inquiry of
his mother as .to the cause of his being " so muddled,"
but having recovered his breath, he said, that as he was
coming along he saw " a fire at farmer Durrant's," and
added, that he had come home that way in order that she
might not know where he had been. Upon this the
alarm was given, the farmyard being not very far off,
.and the fire, which was then "quite fresh and only as big
as a bucket," was speedily extinguished by the
united exertions of the family and some neighbours
who came to their assistance. Even then, however,
the two stacks in question were nearly consumed;
'which stood' against the barn, and from which the
flames, had there not been- a plentiful supply of hands
and water, would soon have coinnaunicated to the entire
property on the premises. When at the fire the prisoner
seemed to lend his aid very clumsily—so much so, as to
Cause observation, and he was told either "to work
effectually, or give place to others who would," on which
he seems to have gone away for a time, though here-ap-
peared at two o'clock in the morning, when a liberal
distribution of bread and cheese and ale was made by the
grateful farmer to his friends. On the following day a
question was asked in. the presence of the prisoner by,
the prosecutor as to " who first saw the fire ?" when he
claimed that dangerous pee-eminence, asserting that he
saw it as he was coming from the Plough aoross the
green, and then again a little further on near Folly-farm,
when it seemed to be as "big as a lantern and a basket."
It then appeared on inquiry that the prisoner had been
sending the evening at the Plough, which he left at ten
o clock, with a pipe, though it was not proved that it was
alight when he quitted the house. A daughter of the
prosecutor next saw him crossing the front of Folly-
farm soon after ten o'clock ; and the case on the part of
the prosecution then assumed that he had soon after-
wards turned to the left out of the lane into a close
called the " Great Lay," in which the farm-buildings
and stacks stood, and that he had thence made his way
into the Little Lay through a fresh gap, which was dis-
covered on Sunday, and
sointo Norton's field, after'
having fired the stacks, and so down in the lane again'
opposite to his own cottage. In support of this presump-
tion it was shown that there was no access into Norton's
field save down the farmyard, and that no trace of. any
gap was discoverable in the hedge, through which he
could and must have gone if. he had not passed through
the steelyard. It was then sworn, that no one could
• possibly have seen the fire at all, or even the premises,
from the spots described by the prisoner on the green ; .
while proof was adduced of his having said, on a former
occasion, that "if ever he saw a fire at Mr. Durrant's
he never would tell him of it, as he was sure• he would
be suspected to have done it"
There being no counsel for the prisoner, who ener-
getically protested his innocenee throughout the trial,
Mr: Justice WILLIAMS closely cross-examined all the
witnesses adduced against him, and afterwards most
carefully and impartially summed up the case to the
jury, to whOm he left it to say whether they would go
along with the inference presented for their considera-
tion and adoption, on the part of the prosecution, as to
the prisoner's proceedings in the critical period which
elapsed after he passed Folly-farm and his appearance
at the gate leading out of Norton's field into the lane.
The jury having consulted together some little time,
returned a verdict of Guilty.—Sentence deferred.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(YESTERDAY.)
MAN.SI V SE.
A boy, aged about 15 years, named Wm. Borers,
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 front 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 between' 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 ascribe the robbery to the de-
fendant, whom he believed to be merely mischieVous
and to have no spice of thief in his composition. TN;
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 Loan MAYOR asked Mr. Goldham, the clerk
of the market, whether he knew anything of the de-
fendant ?—Mr. Goldham said there never came to
Billingsgate a boy, or anything in the shape of a bob
who had such brains for annoying people. He 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—WeII, 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 he was drunk there was
no mistake.
Mr. Goldharn stated that the complainant was per-
fectly sober, and was a most industrious and decent 1
man..

Applicant—Nor his Secretary ?
Mr. Lowo—certeinly, not.; Stand down, I hays 'no
power to assist you. . • . .
~Applicant—Louis Phillippe has offered a large price
for my head, and if I carry it to him myself, he must
pay me the money for it.
The Frenchman, whose singular application, combined
with his peculiarity of manner, was. productive of some
laughter, then quitted the Court, evidently disappointed
at the Magistrate not thinking tit to summon the Am-
bassador to show good and Sufficient cause for refusing
to comply with his (M. Buchoz Hilton's) wishes.
BENEvoLENcE.— Mr. Long, the Magistrate, has re-
ceived from " A lady and gentleman, residing in the

•
IIfARRBOROUGK•STREET, •
Edward Ryan was charged with being drunk and in-
capable of taking care of himself or thq stab (No. 505) he
was driving. •
Police-constable 25 of the C division stated that, be-
tvveemeleven and twelve o'clock last night, he saw the
defendant . sitting asleep •. in his cab, in Marylebone-
street, The horse was going on at the time at a
quick pace, and ran the cab three or four times on to the
footway pavement, to the imminent danger of persons
passing at the time. He was, in consequence, taken into
custody, and the cab and horse to the greenyard.
Inspector. Plume of the C division said the defendant
was what is termed a " Buck ;" he was employed by the
regular drivers- to go, with their'cabs while they were
drinking at some public-house.. lie. had, it appears in
this instance, been sent out by the driver of the cab, who
was regaling himself at an infamous coffee-shop in - St.
James's Market. •

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.

Mr. HARDWICK said in every case of this sort he should
inflict a very severe penalty.
The defendant was fined 403. or one month's impri-
sonment to hard labour ; and William Broadfield, the
driver, was fined 10s., or one month's imprisonment, for
entrusting and permitting him to•drive the cab. •
Rfan being unable to pay the fine was committed to
gaol.

The LORD MAYOR.-...Wi1l you be answerable that
'jhedo no more mischief in the market ? The pri-
' soner's father—l am really afraid, your Lordship.
You have no idea- at all of the mischief he does.
The complainant—l' don't care about the loss of
the-fish: want is, to have ..myself protected
against his tricks.
The LORD 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. lie 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 nut 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.
A 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 resities.in the-neighbourhood of ornhill,
with having committed an assault upon him, by
sprinkling him with' a brush dipped in mortar and
water.

LAMBETH-STREET.
A smartly-dressed youth,. who gave his name as James
.Janes, but whose reatname is Hurley,' was charged, with
attempting to pick pockets at the Garrick Theatre. - -
Childs, the, constable at the theatre, deposed that on
the, evening before he. observed the - prisoner try the
pockets of a number of persona as they ware 'in the box
and pit entrance.. The prisoner, perceiving that he had
his eye upon him, instantly bolted out of the place, and
started, off along the street. Witness followed. him, and
after a long chase suceeeded in taking him. • On search-
ing the prisoner he found apiece of paper on which was
written " Miss Jane .•Beneett,. 51, Pie-street, West-
minster ;'' and on asking him what it meant, he said it
was the name and address of.a young -woman who was a
servant in a respectable family, to whom he was going to
pay his addresses.--(Laughter,)
• Cock, the gaoler, recognised the prisoner,. and deposed
that he had been committed from this Court before for
a similar, offence.

Mr. Norton, on hearing this, sent him to the House of
Correction for three. months.

Captain &Mem, M.P., Clerk of the Ordnance,
has returned from an .official visit to Newport. South
Wales.
On Monday and Tuesday there was sold the un
precedented number of 2,000 firkins of butter, of 701bs.
each, at Enniskillen market.—Cork Examiner.

Between six and seven o'clock on Tuesday even-
ing, as Mr. Verrall, baker, of the London-road, was driving
home in his cart front Lewes, two mep, dressed as railway
labOurers, stopped him near Lord Chichester's park wall.
While he was warding off a blow which was aimed at him
from one side orthe cart, he was struck on the opposite
side by the csecond'ruffinn, and knocked out of the vehicle
into the road insensible,'. On tegaining his senses, he found
his outer dress, consisting of a cloth frock covered with oil-
skin, torn to ribbons, in, the attempt of the thieves (as he
imagines) to search his pocket. His money and watch,
however, were both safe•, the thieves having probably heard
a noise and made off' before they had accomplished their
purpose. Mr. Verrall sustained a severe contusion on the
head ;• but was able to regain his cart and drive home.—
Brighton- Gazette. •
STATE OP TILE HOSIERY AND LACE TRADES.—
The general condition of the framework-knitters has not
in the least improved since our last report. The cut-up
cotton hoie trade is extremely depressed. The drawer
and pantaloon branch, which is the most numerous in
this town and vicinity, continues much depressed, the
frames• not b..ing half employed. The cotton glove
branch, though rather depressed, is in a much better
state than most. descriptions of the cotton hosiery ma-
nufacture. The full• fashioned cotton hosetrade is suf-
fering 'severely, lout not to the extent of the, cut-up
branch. The silk hosiery trade cannot be said to be
improved in any of the departments of manufacture.
The bobbin-net trade is in a state of half panic, so far
as the lace-manuracturers themselves are concerned; se-
veral of whom, it is asserted, intend to close their ware-
houses for a time. Such is the extent of this gloomy
feeling that it has even reached the foreign houses, and
that too of so large capital, that nothing short of some
serious *apprehensions could induce them, it, is generally
thought, to imbibe the despondency. In the midst of
this depression improvements are progressing which it
'is hoped will slfortly revive this important manufacture.
The panic extends.e9ually to the lace trade in general.
The warp lace trade is in much the same state that it
has been in for the last fortnight, the blonde being se-
riously depressed and declining. The laperd press has,
to some extent, revived; 'while the tatting trade may be
said to be-in a good condition, being neither brisk nor
dull.—. Nottingham Review,

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 befoie 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.
Hollingsworth said that he was responsible for
keeping the place at which the men- worked, in front
of the Rlal 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
klis Lonusute 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.

UNION-BALL.

Thomas Hatch, a bricklayer, at Croydon, was brought
before Mr. Cottingham,, charged with, being found in a
drunken state on the Brighton Railway, to the imminent
danger of his life.

John Hamilton 'stated that he was signal man on the
Brighton line, and that on the preceding night, at ten
minutes before eight o'elOck, he was on duty at the lower
points, near Bermondsey-bridge, awaiting the arrival of
an up train from Croydon. While ho was so engaged,

he saw an object in the gloom that persisted in moving
along the *Centre of the railroad, shelf on hastening for-
ward to the &pot; he obseried the defendant staggering
en between‘the rails, so drunk that he .couldsseircely
Wilk erect. Witnessi seeing the danger the taut was
exposed to, as the up train was expected to come along
the next minute, which would assuredly have passed
over his body, and have crushed hiin to death, lost no
time in dragging him off the rail, and had scarcely time.
to do to when the train passed along to the terminus.
The witness added that he conducted the defendant to
the terminus, whore it was deemed prudent to give him
into dustotiy, sa he was in that condition from intoxica-
tion that he appeared quite ainconscious of what was
passing.
In reply to Mr. Corrixonatt, the witness said that he
could not account for the manner in which the defendant
got on the line, except by assuming that he passed in at
the terminus; amongst thecrowd proceeding to the trains,
unobserved ; that he then got upon the line, drunk as
he was, . and probably thinking himself on the common
road instead of the railroad, he staggered along uncoil.-
scious of the danger. Had he had not been observed in
the way described he must have been killed.
In reply to the Mmaista.vrit, the defendant said he
was a bricklayer at croTctpn, limn which place he came
up yesterday morning, in quest of employment ; that he
'went to see some friends at Pentonville, who treated him
to liquor, and that when he left them be lost all recol•
leetion of what took-place aft, rwards. How he got on
the* railroad he was quite at a loss to conjecture.
Mr. CorriNosam said the defendant had a most mi-
raculous escape, for if he had not been observed at the
time he was by the signal man, he would inevitably have
been killed, by the train. which it appeared passed along
in a minute after he, was dragged off the railway. Had
his death'Occurred, probably blame would have been at-
tached to the person in charge of the engine by the jury
on the•inpiest, and even a verdict of manslaughter might
hare been returned against a man who was perfectly
blameless, and all this would have arisen owing to
the defendant being intoxicated. After such an es-
cape from a horrible death, it ought at all events to have
the effect of preventing him frOm indulging in too much
liquor for the remainder of his life; and with a view
that the circumstance should make an impression on his
purse as well as hii. mind, he should inflict the usual
penalty for drunkenness The magistrate at the same
time commended the conduct of Hamilton, the signal
man, for the alertness he displaYed While on duty on the
occasion.

CLERKEN SPELL.
and'Thotriaa Bill, brothers were
charged with burglariously _entering the house of Mrs.
Catherine Chitty, of John-street, and stealing therefrom
wearing apparel, a clock-case, a einary bird and cage,
and a great number. of other articlei.
The prisoner William hid been formerly in Mrs.
Chitty's employment, and on Monday last was obseried
sneaking about her house. Her dog was stolen on that
day, and the prosecutrix was. infOrmod that the prisoner
was aee,n coaxing it away. On the same night the bur-
glary was committed, and on the following day (Tues-
day) the animal returned bearing marks of severe ill-
treatment, his neck being much, cut and covered with
blood. The burglars entered the house through an aper-
ture by the door.of the cellar, and escaped with their
boOfy, which they found in the parlour, undetected and
unseen. At seven o'clock on Tuesday morning Mrs.
Chitty, on discovering the robbery, went immediately to
-all the pawnbrokers in the neighbourhood, and found
that it great quantity of the stolen articles were pawned
at Mr. Button s, in John-street, Edgware-real, in the
name of John Hill. She informed the police of this fact,
end communicated her suspicion regarding the prisoner
William. Police-sergeant Day, dressed in plain clothes,
went to the prisoner's lodgings; in Upper-Cambridge-
street, Paddington, and not finding either at home, told
their aiother•he wanted them to do a little job of plaster- •
ing for him(they are plasterers)— at the same time
leaving- his private address. Both prisoners waited on
him; and they wore captured. Their lodgings were
searched, and s. large quantity of the stolen property
found-there, and the pawnbroker at once identified the
prisoner William -as the person w'ho had pawned a
quantity of wearing apparel there. .
Mrs. Chitty 'identified these things, and also a hand-
kerchief' which Thomas had on his neck when arrested,
44 her properiy.--:The prisoners were remanded.

10 next, the supply of Beasts on sale was large, and, gene-
arally speaking, of a superior quality. The prirnest Scots,

lOU other kinds were heavy, at previous currencies. Only
0 eight Beasts from Rotterdam were brought forward; but
