LAIN AND PDXACD.

Harvey, the policeman, who attempted to murder his
sergeant at Edmonton, was convicted at the Central
Criminal Court, and sentenced to fifteen years' trans-
portation.

The Common Sergeant, in the New Court, committed
a witness, named Smith, to Newgate for giving a man a
good character, at the same time being perfectly aware
that the man had committed several robberies, and,
among others, had robbed the witness himself.
A curious system of plunder was disclosed at the Man-
sion-house. Several tradesmen have recently received
orders for goods, with halves of notes inclosed. The
orders having been executed the other halves were not
forthcoming, and on inquiry at the banks it was dis-
covered that the halves of the notes had been stolen.

John Hahn, a German baker, was committed to the
sessions, from Marlborough-street, for nearly cutting off
the nose of one of his fellow-workmen, with a bread
scraper.

At Worship-street Peter Dixon, the street-keeper of
St. Luke's, and policeman Coley, 126 G, were bound
over to the sessions, for assaulting Charles Thwaitps, a
poor costermonger, and detaining his barrow, value 40s.
They had seized 10s. worth of cauliflowers belonging to
the poor man, and confiscated them to the use of the
workhouse. Mr. Kipling, the clerk to the trustees, en-
deavoured to justify their proceedings, but the Magis-
trate expressed his opinion as to the injustice of their
proceedings, and advised them to make compensation to
the man.
