B.OW7STREET.-(THIS DAY.

William Kean, a carman, was:placed at the bar before
Mr. Jardine, charged with furious driving al.(' man-
slaughter.
..... _ _

Policeman F 70 said that he was on duty yesterday
in Holborn, and saw the prisoner driving a cart at a
very furious rate. An old woman, who was crossing the
road at the time, was knocked down, and the cart
passed over her. Witness stopped the cart, and took
the prisoner in charge, when it was found that the wo-
man was quite dead. He had since ascertained that her
name was Elizabeth Lee, that she lived in the Old Kent-
road, and that she was upwards of 60 years of age.
Mr. JARDINE said that he would at present refrain
from giving any opinion on the ease. He would remand
the prisoner for a week, but he would be liberated on
his own recognisances to appear at the expiration of that
time, as, in :the meanwhile, he would have to appear
before another tribunal.

THE LATE ROBBERY AT THE TRAFALGAR HOTEL.--
The four waiters, Bowen, Lake, Dancock, and Bulges,
were this day brought up for final examination, when
the whole of the evidence given on the two former occa-
sions was repeated.
This case having already appeared in the columns of
The Sun, it will now be sufficient to state briefly the
facts:—Mr. Lewis, a clergyman, of Cardiff, in Wales,
was, on the 28th Nov., staying at the Trafalgar Hotel,
Charing-cross. On that day he received from his
bankers, Messrs. Glyn, Bank of England notes to the
value of 1501., in ten SL, five 104 notes, and one 50L
note, which he deposited in his portmanteau in the
evening, and missed at night. Suspicion immediately
fell on Bowen, who was taken into custody, and afterwards
made a confession. Some time after Lake made a con-
fession, in consequence of which, he and two other
persons, named Woods and Bailey, were taken into cus-
tody, but the two latter were discharged for want of
evidence.

Nearly all the stolen notes have been received at the
Bank of England, and several of them have been proved
to have been changed by the prisoners Baites and Dan-
cock.

The above facts, which wer-1 not clearly shown on the
previous examination, were fully established on this oc-
casion, and the depositions having been taken at length,
the prisoners were committed for trial, Lake and Boven
on the charge of stealing, and the other prisoners for re-
ceiving the stolen notes.

MARLBRO'-STREET.—(THISDAY.)
Edward Lynch, a stalwart, powerful young man, was
charged with street robbery under the following circum-
stances
It appeared that a respectable workman, named Ed-
ward Wheeler, living at No. 2, Lloyd's-court, St.
Giles's, yesterday met the prisoner, whom he had
formerly worked with at a job, and treated him with
some drink. They adjourned to another public-house,
and remained there during the afternoon. Between five
and six o'clock the prosecutor was somewhat the worse
for liquor, and the prisoner offered to see him, home.
In passing through a bye court, leading into Wardour-
street, Soho, the prisoner suddenly and violently thrust
his hand into the prosecutor's breast-pocket and grasped
the contents, a sovereign, a half-sovereign, and seven
shillings in silver. The prosecutor seized his hand on
the instant and called police. A violent struggle
ensued, and the prosecutor was thrown on his back in
the mud, the prisoner falling heavily upon him. The
struggle was protracted until the footsteps of persons
approaching were heard, when the prisoner forcibly
broke away and escaped. The prosecutor, however,
retained in his grasp a portion of the prisoner's jacket.
Information was given to the police, and in less than
half-an-hour the prisoner was in cnstody.
The prisoner said the prosecutor did not wish to press
the charge against him. He (the prisoner) had friends
in the Court to settle it.

Mr. MALTESY—Let the prisoner be committed to New.
gate for trial, and the witnesses bound over.

CHRISTMAS PROVISIONS.—Yesterday the various
metropolitan markets exhibited a most extraordinary and
abundant supply of all descriptions of provisions which have
been imported from the country for the entertainment of
those who have the means to enjoy themselves at this season
of festivity. At no previous Christmas have Leadenhall
and Newgate markets presented so fine a show of poultry,
the fowls in general being in the best possible condition.
Many of the trains had with them between five hundred and
six hundred parcels; and one, the Norfolk train, which
came in in the early part of the morning, had eight hundred
parcels. Several wholesale dealers have forwarded between
two thousand and three thousand geese, the supply being
required in consequence of the numerous geese clubs in the
metropolis, in some of which there are above five hundred
members. Turkeys fetched from 3s. to 255. each ; geese
from 3s. 6d. to 12s. each ; fowls, from 2e. 6d. to 13s. 6d. per
pair; porkers, from 6s. to 16s. and 18s. each; hares, from 2s.
6d. to 55. each.

PEDESTRIANISM. - Yesterday the race between
Patterson, of London, and Hartshorn, came off near the
Roade station of the Birmingham Railway. The distance
was over 130 yards, and the stakes were 23/. aside. At the
start Patterson took the lead, which he maintained but a
short distance, when his opponent challenged him for the
goal. Both men struggled for the victory, which Hartshorn
obtained, winning. by a yard.
