benefit of the funds, and accordingly the Laurel was engaged
to convey the company, who proceeded on their trip, and
everything went off very delightfully until the return of the
steamer in the evening, when it ran aground, and stuck in the
mud, on the Middlesex side of the Thames, near Putney-
bridge. As there were between 200 and 300 persons on board
some confusion took place, which was increased by the ex-
clamation of Capt. Reynolds that he had lost iris watch. The
prosecutor, as president of the excursion, interfered,
and made himself very active for the recovery of the missing
watch, offering 51. to any one who would restore it, as he
considered it would greatly injure the lodge if any robbery
was committed during the excursion. The party who had
the watch, observing his activity, thought it best to get rid
of it, and made an attempt to throw it overboard, but it fell
short and dropped into the engine-room, where it was picked
up and restored to Captain Reynolds. The prosecutor then
observed some persons endeavouring to get up a fight, and
twa of them, not the defendants, being pointed out as bad
characters, he immediately suggested to the company, who
were chiefly ladies, that this was a proceeding got up to
afford facilities to commit robbery, and running to that part
of the vessel, he declated that as president he would suffer
no fighting there, at the same time begging the ladies to
put up their jewellery, of which they wore a great
deal, as he suspected there were thieves on board.
Belasco, who some years ago was a leading member
of the pugilistic ring, now interfered, and said they should
fight, and stood up on a seat. His son was standing on the
deck, trying to make room. The prosecutor again expressed
his determination to put a stop to this disgraceful proceeding.
The elder defendant exclaimed, " Throw him overboard."
The youger defendant immediately said, "I'll do it ;" and he
at once resorted to a pugilistic manoeuvre called " butting,"
the effect of which was completely to stun the prosecutor,
who fainted, and upon reviving found himself saturated with
blood, his face bleeding, and his nose swollen. He then re-
monstrated with the elder Belasco for suffering such conduct
in his son, at the same time threatening that he would appeal
to tae law for protection. Belasco said he had 100/. to his 11.,
and they might go to law as soon as they liked.
This was the case for the prosecution.
Mr. O'BRIEN then addressed the jury for the defendants,
and called a number of witnesses, who deposed that before
any assault had been committed by the younger Belasco, the
prosecutor had laid hold of him by the collar; that they did
not see any blood, and that at the moment when the alleged
assault took place, the elder was below.
The Learned JUDGE recapitulated the evidence,
The jury at once found the defendants Guilty.
The COURT said it was every proper verdict. There could
be no doubt about the real object of getting up the fight, but,
under all the circumstances, the defendants would not be sent
to prison. They were then sentenced to pay a fine of 10/.
to the Queen, to enter into their own recognizances in the
sum of s(t each, with two sureties in 251., to keep the peace
for six months.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.

THE RESTOTATION OF MR. ALDERMAN HUGHES'S RAIL-
WAY Scum—Under the head of the above office we have re-
ferred to the alleged loss which Mr. Alderman Hughes stated
on Saturday last he had sustained, by leaving in a cab,
which he took at the corner of Bouverie-street, Fleet-street,
a packet containing a quantity of railway scrip, and other
documents connected with the various railway schemes now
in progress. At the time it was doubted whether the
woi thy Alderman had really I •ft the documents in the
vehicle, and from what transpired on Thursday that supposi-
tion was correct.

At the sitting of the Court, Inspector Chadwick, to whom
the loss was mentioned by the worthy Alderman, was in-
formed that the packet had been recovered, in fact it had
never been lost. Upon the night of the supposed loss, it ap-
pears that Mr. Alderman Hughes was on his way to attend
at the Central Criminal Court, and after the business of the
day had terminated (the parties tried being those connected
with the late railway forgeries), the conversation at the table
turned upon this important and all-engrossing subject, and
no doubt in the course of illustrating some point, the worthy
Alderman produced the packet containing the bankers' re-
ceipts for scrip, the letters of allotment, &c., which he left on
the table when the judges and those who dined retired. The
parties in attendance observed the papors, but supposing that
they related to the trials, and were mere records of the Court,
they were put amongst other papers, and this circumstance
alone led to the papers not being returned.
Upon the statement of the supposed loss appearing in the
daily papers, it was recollected that at the place where Mr.
Alderman Hughes sat a packet was found, which, upon being
sought for, was discovered to be the veritable packet, and
was forthwith restored to the worthy Alderman. It may
here be mentioned that it was extremely fortunate that he
had not taken the number of the cab in which he had been
driven home, for the poor fellow would have been found,
and, as he would have very justly denied ever seeing the
packet, but which would have been met by the extreme posi-
tiveness of the worthy Alderman, the unfortunate driver
might have passed a short time inside of a station-house.
The papers, however, having been found, all apprehensions as
to their finding their way into the hands of the gentlemen
outside of Capel-court has vanished, greatly to the satisfac-
tion of the worthy Alderman.

nature of the wound in almost similar terms to those above-
mentioned.

Police-constable Cobb produced the knife, which was a
larger one than ordinary, the blade of it much stained with
blood, and the point of it bent from the force of the blow in-
flicted with it. _ _ _

Mr. BROUGIITON inquired whether the injured man was in
a tit condition to attend and give evidence in support of the
charge ?
Sergeant Shaw stated that the complainant had been
in attendance at the Court that morning in a state
of great pain and exhaustion, but the prisoner's wife
had engaged him in conversation, and induced him, by the
premise of a paltry pecuniary recompense, to forego the pro-
secution ; and the complainant being a person whose in-
tellect had been considerably impaired by an attack of
paralysis, it appeared that he had yielded to her impor-
tunities, for he was not then to be found.
The prisoner said that this was perfectly true, and that his
wife had actually pledged her own wedding-ring and another
to raise money enough to satisfy the complainant for the in-
juries he had sustained, and which he (the prisoner) could
assure die magistrate would never have been inflicted if he
had not been in such a state of intoxication at the time as to
be incapable of controlling his actions.
Mr. BROUGHTON said that this was a most deliberate and
premeditated case of stabbing, and the prisoner's wife had
rendered herself liable to very serious consequences by the
cor duct she had pursued in attempting to compromise a
felony ; but, though some regard should be paid to the
feelings of a wife, under such circumstances, he could not
suffer the interests of justice to be so tampered with, and he
should therefore direct a warrant to be at once issued to en-
force the attendance of the wounded man, and bind over the
witnesses to appear again on Tuesday next, when the prisoner
would be fully committed for trial.
SOUTHWARK.

John Daniels, a leather finisher in Virginia-row, Bermond-
sey, was charged with making a very determined attempt on
his life.

William Daniels, a young man of 18, the son, stated that
on the preceding night his father returned home rather late
and went to bed. He, however, had net been long there,
when he got up and went down stairs, and, remaining
longer than expected, witness's mother sent him down to see
where his father was so long. Witness, on entering the front
kitchen, was horror-struck on seeing his father hanging by
the neck from a nail in the wall, having fastened a piece of
twine round his throat. Witness instantly procured a knife,
with which he cut his father down, and he fell heavily on the
floor, and appeared to be dead. The alarm having been given,
a policeman entered the house, and seeing the condition of the
man, he proceeded without delay to attempt resuscitation, and
by the aid of friction, and administering brandy in small
quantities, the defendant was brought round. As soon how-
ever as he became sufficiently recovered, he jumped up, and
seizing the knife with which he had been previously cut
down, ran into the kitchen, and was about to cut his throat
when his arm was stayed by the policeman, and the weapon
taken from him after some resistance. He was then conveyed
to the station-house.

Mr. Cowin:aux asked the defendant why he made such
a desperate attempt as that described upon his life, which
would inevitably have succeeded had it not been for the young
man (his son), assisted afterwards by the policeman ?
The defendant replied that he could not account for it;
that he had been drinking, and he could only ascribe it to
that circumstance. He admitted, he said, that work was
slack, still his sons were earning wages, and that it was not
the pressure of his circtunstances that prompted him to the
commission of such an act as he had attempted.
Mr. COTrINGIIAM, having commented in strong terms upon
the extraordinary and determined attempts th defendant
had made upon his life, said that he was very much inclined
to send him to take his trial for the offence. As, however,
he had since exhibited such contrition, and had expressed
his determination to abstain from liquor, instead of adopting
that course, he should make him find good security not to re-
peat the attempt, and confine him in gaol until it was forth-
coming.
QUEEN-SQUARE.
FORGERY.—John Alfred Calton, builder, residing in Eliza-
beth-street, Hans-place Chelsea, was committed to take his
trial for uttering a forged bill.
It appeared that he had been mixed up in money transac-
tions with a Mr. Joseph Lampen and a Mr. W. Smith, whose
names he affixed to a bill for 371. 10s. ld., which he procured
Mr. Watts, the proprietor of the Admiral Keppel, Fulham-
road, to discount. The peculiarity about the matter was,
that Smith, at whose instance lie was taken into custody,
professed, as was stated by Mr. Calton's defender, to be ready
to bail him, and that Watts destroyed the bill apparently to
suppress the whole transaction. Mr. Justin, in prosecuting
the matter, described Mr. Watts as guilty of compounding a
felony,
Mr. BOND said it was a case he must send for trial. If
such transactions as this were permitted it would put an end
to all confidence in trade or business. Accordingly Mr.
Watts was bound in his recognizances of SO/ , and the others
in the usual recognizances of 401. each, to appear at the
Central Criminal Court to indict the prisoner for uttering.

Mr. BOND refused to take bail for the prisoner, but at the
close of the court said he would take until Saturday to con-
sider the matter, and ordered the prisoner to be brought up
on that day.
HAMMERSMITH.

LIABILITY OF MANURE TO TOLL—Henry Clarke, toll-
collector at the Notting-hill gate, was summoned before Mr.
T. Paynter, the sitting magistrate, for having on the 16th
inst. unlawfully demanded and taken toll to the amount of
2s. 3d. for a waggon and two carts' laden with manure, the
same being exempted from toll, and the exemption claimed.
Mr. George Wood, a farmer at Hanger-hill, Ealing, with
James Willis, his bailiff, were present to support the summons.
Joshua Day deposed that he was a carter in the employ of
Mr. Wood. On the 16th inst. he was with a waggon drawn
by three horses, and two carts, each drawn by two horses,
belonging to his master, and laden with brick rubbish, which
they were bringing from town. When they came to Not-
ting-hill gate the defendant stopped them and demanded the
toll. Witness asked him if he demanded toll for manure?
when the defendant said it did not signify what was going to
be done with it, lie should demand the toll, and he must have
it. Witness then paid him 2s. 3d.
By Mr. PAYNTER—Witness got the rubbish from the ruins
of Laggett's Hotel, Dover-street, and saw it shot on the land
for manure.

The defendant, in answer to the charge, pleaded, first, that
the exemption was not claimed, as required by the Act of Par-
liament; secondly, that it was not all rubbish, there being
bricks amongst it, which might be used for other purposes;
and thirdly, that part of what was brought down on the pre-
vious day was still in the waggon in Mr. Wood's yard.
Mr. Wood's bailiff said the bricks when broken with a
hammer were as useful for manure as mortar, and with re-
gard to the waggon, the ground was yet too wet for it to be
drawn upon it.
Mr. PAYNTER, having examined the Act of Parliament,
decided that rubbish for manure is exempt from toll, but the
exemption must be claimed on passing through. As the
proof was not, clear that the exemption was claimed, he
would not convict, but would advise the defendant to return
the toll and pay the costs, which he did.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

,Toseph Thomas, a young man dressed as a tradesman's
porter, was placed at the
.bar, charged with the following
daring robbery :—About nine the previous evening, the pri-
soner, who-bad for some time been noticed lurking about
Sackville-street, Piccadilly, contrived to slip unobserved down
the area steps of the residence of Dr. Richard King, of No.
27 ; and entering the kitchen, in which none of the servants
at the moment happened to be, he seized hold of a tray of
knives and forks, no doubt mistaking it for the plate basket,
which was standing on the same table, and contained plate to
the amount of between 501. and 601. As he was leaving the
kitchen he was met by the cook, who, suspecting he was
a thief seized him by the collar, on which he threw the knife-
box and contents into the sink, and made a desperate
strugggle to get away, threatening to knock the girl's brains
out if she did not loose her hold. The young woman, how-
ever, retained her grasp of him. and screaming loudly for
assistance, Dr. King. and some gentlemen who were dining
with him, rushed down stairs to her aid and secured him.
On his being searched at the station-house about 20s. in
silver were found in his possession.
Mr. llAnowicic asked if he was known.

Inspector Aggs, of the C division, said, that the prisoner
could be identified as the party who had committed two
other robberies of plate if he was remanded, to.allow the
necessary time to bring the witnesses forward.
It also appeared that latterly numerous robberies of plate
have been of late effected at the west end, by a person an-
swering the prisoner's description. The plan he adopted was
either by sneaking down the area while the servants were
engaged in some other part of the house, or knocking boldly
at the hall-door, and stating that he was sent by some trades-
man in the neighbourhood to inquire for some article or an-
other to he repaired. While the servant went to make in-
quiries of his master or mistress, leaving him standing in the
hall, his appearance and manners not exciting the least sus-
picion,generally made his way to the dining-room, and carried
off the whole of the plate laid for dinner. In every case it
would appear that he had ascertained by some means the
hour at which the family dined, and the robberies were gene-
rally committed about half an hour before the dinner party
assembled. He was remanded until this day week.
CLERKENWELL.

James Connolly, aged 16, and John Silk, aged 10, well-
known thieves, were placed at the bar before ➢lr. Greenwood,
charged by Mr. Robert Duke, chief usher belonging to this
court, with having been concerned in picking his pocket of
a silk handkerchief.

Mr. Duke deposed, that on Thursday evening last, at half-
past eight o'clock, he was walking thruugh Croswell-street,
when he felt something kick his heel, on which he turned
round, and saw three persons behind him, but having no
suspicion at the time of any robbery, he proceeded a little
way on his journey, when he missed his pocket-handker-
chief. He then went back, and at the corner of Sutton-street,
Clerkenwell, he saw the prisoners and another boy, in company
with each other, and Connollywas holding up his (Duke's) hand-
kerchief in his hand, exhibiting it to his companions for exa-
mination, whilst they were laughing and giggling. Duke
seized the prisoners, and tying their arms together, took them
to the station-house, and on their road thither Connolly said
he would pay for the handkerchief if he would let him go.
Connolly sail he picked up the handkerchief, and two
others found on him he purchased in Field-lane, Holborn, of
a Jew.
Silk said he saw his friend pick up the handkerchief, and
he went over to him to ar for his replays, or halves.
Mr. GREENWOOD fully committed Connolly for trial, but
the evidence not being sufficient against Silk, he was dis-
charged, with a caution as to his future conduct.

EXPLOSION AT A FIREWORK
MANUFACTORY. AND LOSS OF TWO LIVES.
Between eleven and twelve on Thursday forenoon the
inhabitants of Harlow West Marsh were alarmed by a loud
explosion, which was ascertained to have proceedod from a
manufactory of fireworks, carried on in a house situated in
a row of buildings known as the " Back-row." On arriving
at the spot alluded to, the spectators were horrified at per-
ceiving the scorched and mutilated remains of a man lying
in the yard of the house where the explosion had occurred.
The upper part of the house itself was on fire, but the flames
shortly afterwards subsided, and the lower part of the house,
the entire of which consisted of two stories, remained un-
injured. From an examination of the premises it was ascer-
tained that the explosion had taken place in a room on the
second story, carrying away the greater portion of the roof,
and demolishing the wall separating the two rooms of which
the floor consisted. The two rooms presented a scene of com-
plete destruction, the furniture and other fittings being shat-
tered into innumerable fragments. Doubled up in a corner of
the room lay the body of a youth, dreadfully crushed, and
quite dead.
It appears that the entire house was rented by a man
named Jackson, whose remains were discovered on the out-
side of the premises, and who, assisted by his son (the youth
whose body was found in the room), carried on the business
of a firework manufacturer. The workshop was on the upper
story of the house ; but in what manner the explosion oc-
curred, cannot, of course, be ascertained. It is a fortunate
circumstance that the explosion was confined to the upper
part of the house, as there was a large quantity of rockets
and other combustible material stowed away on the first
floor of the building. But little damage was sustained by
the adjoining houses, in consequence of the explosion having
evidently taken a perpendicular direction.

Viscount and Viscountess Sidmouth, who have
been sojourning at Hastings, have left that watering-place.
