CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
OLD COURT.
_. _

James Richard Downes,-23, clerk, was indicted for
feloniously embezzling three several sums of IL 6s. 6d.,
6/. 175., and IL 6s. 6d, the moneys of Robert Saywell, his
master. The prisoner pleaded guilty.
Mr. BALLANTINE, who appeared on behalf of the pri-
soner, urged, in mitigation of punishment, that the
prisoner had, heretofore, borne a good character, and
also stated that his master was desirous to recommend
him to the merciful consideration of the Court.
Mr. Saywell, in answer to inquiries from the Court,
said he was dattous to recommend the prisoner to the
mercy of the Court, but he was at the same time
compelled to state that the sums mentioned in the in-
dictment were not mere isolated cases of embezzle •
ment, but he had reason to believe that he had received
other sums, to the amount of 150/., which he had appro-
priated to his own use.
The prisoner was sentenced to be kept to hard labour
for twelve calendar months.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(YESTERDAY.)
BOW-STREET.

Yesterday afternoon Michael Read, and Jane Fur-
pley were brought before Mr. Hall, charged with
cruelly cutting and stabbing James O'Flaherty with
a pair of scissors.
The occurrence took place on Saturday night in
the lodgings of the wounded man, to which the two
prisoners went ; and he was so badly injured as to
be immediately removed to King's College Hospital.
Being unable to appear, Mr. Hall sent a messenger
f'')/. Mr. Twyford, who proceeded with the second
clerk, Mr. Bowstead, to the hospital, to take the de-
positions of the wounded man.
The statement of O'Flaherty was, that he was sit-
ting, on Saturday night, in his house, when the two
prisoners entered, and after they had sat for some
time drinking together, the male prisoner wished the
female to go away with him, which she refused,
whereupon he struck her. The wounded man inter-
fered, and was immediately struck by Read, whom
he immediately collared, struggled with, and fell.
While down Read seized a pair of button-hole scis-
sors, with which he inflicted many deep and desperate
wounds in all parts of O'Flaherty's person. When
separated the prosecutor was nearly dead from loss of
blood ; and on being removed to the hospital, was
found to be wounded most severely.
The prisoner was remanded till the improved state
of the prosecutor's health permitted his appearance.
Patrick Larkin was brought up for final examina-
tion, charged with stealing several letters from the
Post-office. The facts of the case appeared in The
Sun last week. The prisoner said nothing in his de-
fence, and was fully committed for trial.

Yesterday, Mrs. Pelham, who underwent several
examinations at this Court a short time ago on the
charge of gross neglect and cruelty to her son, Brent
Spencer, a lunatic, and against whom a true bill has
been found, accompanied by Mr. Head, from the
office of Mr. Steel, solicitor, waited upon the magis-

trate.
Mr. Head stated that the object of his visit was to
reply to a romantic statement which had been made
at that Court on Saturday last. The magistrate
would remember that a female named Bird had come
before him, and said that about one or two-and-
twenty years ago her child had been taken from her
by Mrs. Pelham, and that she had never been able to
find her until that day, when she recognised her at
Chelsea workhouse. Mrs. Pelham had felt it her
duty to come forward, and was now prepared to meet
the charge, which had not the slightest foundation,
and which was calculated to do her a very serious
injury. She had enough to answer at the present
moment without being made the victim of such idle
stories as these, and was desirous of putting the ma-
gistrate in possession of such facts as must leave the
inference on his mind that she was innocent of this
charge. The woman's child was stated by her to be
one or two-and-twenty years of age, while Wilson
Pelham, the conjectured offspring, was above three-
and twenty, and, as regarded property, there was not
a penny coming to him in any way. There was a
total absence of all motive in the affair, as Mrs. Pel-
ham had not the slightest expectancy, by substitution
or otherwise, of receiving any emolument by him,
and moreover, she could distinctly prove that he was
her own child. Mr. Ryder had, it appeared to him,
been extraordinarily zealous in this matter, far indeed,
he considered, beyond his duty as chairman of the
Board of Guardians.

Mr. BURRELL interrupted the gentleman. He did
not agree with what he said of Mr. Ryder.
Mr. Head continued—Some observations had been
made on the subject of some'property—an allowance
received by Mrs. Pelham from Edinburgh ; that pro-
perty had been left to Mrs. Pelham thirty-one years
ago by her own mother, and he held in his hand at
that moment a letter from the North British Rail-
way Company, treating with her on the subject of
her property, which was situate in the Canongate, at
Edinburgh. He concluded by repeating that there
was not the slightest grounds for this charge, and ex-
pressed a hope that as the poison had gone forth so
would the, antidote.

Mr. BuitRELL said he had no control over the press,
nor ought he to have. A statement had been made
to him on Saturday, which was under consideration.
Mr. Head observed that, although the story was so
idle, Mrs. Pelham had considered it her duty to come
forward and repel the accusation.
Mr. BURRELL said that he had not yet taken any
steps in the matter, as his mind was undecided.
Mr. Head and Mrs. Pelham then withdrew.

There is no truth whatever in the paragraph in
the Standard of Wednesday with respect to the com-
missioning the vessels comprising the experimental
squadron. Not only are they not commissioned, but
there is not a commission or warrant down for any of
them. The report in the same paper that Captain A. L.
Corry had commissioned the Firebrand, and hoisted a
Commodore's broad pendant on board, is equally erro-
neous. With respect to the brigs, there is some doubt
as to their being commissioned at all ; the men may be
wanted for larger ships, and as a reason for the remark
we may state that an inquiry has been sent down to
know how soon six sail of the line can be at Spithead.
The reply was three weeks, exclusive of manning. We
may also state that men are entering at the Tower for
" general service."—Hampshire Advertiser.
KILMARNOCK.—We can state upon undoubted
authority, that Mr. Prinsep, who was recently appointed
to a situation on an English railway, is not the Mr. H.
