WOOLWICH.

Anne Warrener was charged with stealing twelve gowns,
and eight shawls from the shop of Mr. Delane, a pawnbroker,
and a chair, the property of David Driver, under the following
singular circumstances.
From the evidence of J. Harley and John Foley, two shop-
men of the prosecutor, it appeared that the prisoner had been
in the habit of calling at the shop almost daily for the last
month, under the pretext of inquiring about some articles of
wearing apparel, which she stated were pledged there. The
books were searched, but no such articles could be discovered.
Though it would appear that she availed herself of every visit
to plunder the owner of some article, no suspicion was aroused
until the day previous, when she was seen leaving the shop with
something under her arm. Information was then given to the
police, and the prisoner was apprehended by Sergeant Hunt, R
32. She then gave a false name and address, but the sergeant
having discovered her lodgings,,searched them, and found all
the missing articles, which were identified by Mr. Delane's
shopmen ; the chair was also identified by Mr. Driver.
The prisoner, who had an infant at the breast and another
scarcely three years old by her side, asserted that the articles
formed part of her own property.
Mr. JEKEYLY committed her for trial.
HAMMERSMITH.

Thomas Farringdon, potman at the Hoop public house,
Kensington Gravel-pits, was brought up before Mr. T. Payn.
ter, the sitting Magistrate, for final examination, on a charge
of having embezzled various sums of money, which he had re-
ceived for and on account of his employer.
Susan Peck, the wife of Abraham Peck, deposed that she
lived at No. 2, New-street, Kensington Gravel-pits. Witness
has her beer from Mrs. Janes, the Hoop public-house, and tke
prisoner had been in the habit of delivering it. On Sunday,
the 24th of August last, witness paid the prisoner Is. fur beer
supplied by Mrs. Janes during the previous week.
Mary Horwood, wife of Mr. Henry Horwood, deposed that
she lived at No. 5, Johnson-street, Notting-hill. On Sunday,
the 24th of August last, the prisoner delivered a pot of beer at
witness's house, and she paid him 4d. for it.
Joseph Jenkins deposed that he lived at No. 37, New-street,
Kensington Gravel-pits. Witness was in the habit of having
his beer from the Hoop public-house, which the prisoner used
to deliver. On Monday, the 25th of August last, witness
paid him 4s. for the beer prosecutrix had sent during the week.
Policeman Allen, T 57, deposed that from information he
received he apprehended the prisoner at about a quarter-past
eight o'clock on Tuesday night, the 26th ult., at a beer-shop
in Notting Dale. Witness told him what he was charged
with, and he said Mrs. Janes could make nothing more of it
than a debt. Witness only found threepence-halfpenny on
him.
The prisoner said he had got too vouch to drink, and spent
more money than he ought. He was fully committed to New-
gate for trial.
After the night charges were gene through, Mr. Haskard,
the relieving officer for the Hammersmith portion of the Fulham
Union, brought an Irish woman named Mary Cotterell, and
her grand-daughter, a girl about ten years of age, before the
magistrate for the purpose of an order being made for their re-
moval to the native place of the former, in the county of Cork.
Mr. PAYNTER, on the necessary papers being handed to
him by Mr. Haskard, inquired if they had been drawn out ac-
cording to the provisions of the new Act of Parliament ?
Mr. Haskard, who appeared surprised at the question, said
they were drawn out in the usual manner. He was not
aware that any new Act of Parliament had been passed on the
subject.
Mr. PAYNTER said neither was he until a few days since,
when his attention was draw' to it. He was not himself
aware what was the difference between the old and the new
law, but as a copy of the Act had been received at that
Court, he would see what the difference was. The worthy
magistrate having examined the new statute, said it was the
Bth and 9th Victoria, cap. 117, which received the royal
assent on the Bth of August last, and was now in force. 'the
alterations were, that most of the previous Acts are repealed,
and in future all orders for the removal of Scotch and Irish
paupers, or persons born on the islands of Man, Scilly,
Jersey, or Guernsey, chargeable in England, are to be applied
for by the guardians of the union in which the parish to
which they are chargeable may be situate, and in those parishes
only not in union have the parochial officers now any power
to do so.
Mr. Haskard said he was not aware that such an Act of
Parliament was in existence.
Mr. PAYNTER, on examining the order, asked the grand-
mother where the girl was born? The woman replied
that she was born on the sea. Her father's name was Rankin.
He was mate of the Caledonia, which was on its way to India.
The father and mother were married while the vessel was lying
in the Cove of Cork, and the former, who was an Englishman,
died, but the mother, she believed, was still alive in India.
Mr. PAYNTER said he had then no power to remove the girl
to Ireland. Having been born on the seas, she was, therefore,
an English child, and he could not take upon himself to send
her to Ireland.
Mr. Haskard said the name Rankin was an Irish name; and
as they were married at the Cove of Cork, it was most probable
that the father was an Irishman.
Mr. PAYNTER considered it was not. It was quite English.
The evidence was that it was English, and he had no power to
send her to Ireland. If the child liked to go she might.
The order for the removal of the grandmother was then made.
Mr. Haskard asked what the girl was to do? There would
be no one in this country to protect it when the grandmother
was removed.
Mr. PAT NTER said he could not help that. He coald not
send the girl to Ireland.
The girl said she would rather stay lin this country.—The
parties then left the Court.
THAMES.
Mr. Wildam Roper, a paper-stainer, of Bell-wharf-hill,
Lower Shadwell, appeared before Mr. Broderip, to answer a
charge preferred by Mr. William Crosby, of the firm of
Kennett and Crosby, paper-hangers and decorators, of 1 and
2, Queen-street,' Southwark-bridge' with having unlawfully
pirated a design in paper-hanging which had been registered
by the complainant under the sth and 6th Victoria, cap. 100,
called " An Act to consolidate ,and Amend the Laws relating
to the Copyright of Designs."
Mr. Pelham appeared for the defendant.
Mr. Crosby produced a pattern of stained paper of the blue-
bell pattern with scroll and leaves, and a certificate appended
thereto, by which it appeared that the design had been properly
registered, that it was numbered 24,047, and that the copy-
right had been secured to him for three years. He registered
the design on the Ist of January last, and he had since ascer-
tained that it had been pirated, and paper of a similar pattern
used by the defendant, who had stolen his invention.
William Hearn, a journeyman in the employ of Kennett
and Crosby, said he went to the defendant's house, on the 12th
of last month, and purchased a roll of stained paper of the bell
flower pattern. He used the name of Mr, Edward Pancy, of
Tooley-street, and the defendant supplied him with the quan-
tity he asked for.
The original design was produced, and compared with the
paper sold by the defendant, and the imitation was palpable.
Mr. BI%OI3EIIIE' thought there could be no doubt of the

piracy.
Mr. Pelham said there was a variation in the leaves and
flowers, and the scroll terminated in a larger leaf in the al-
leged pirated stained paper. The scroll and leaf in the original
design were half formed in perspective. The defendant's paper
had a curled stalk and no leaf.
Mr. Crosby opened rolls of stained papers of various colours,
but all from the same design, and laid them alongside the de-
fendant's paper. They appeared to be precisely similar. He
pointed out to the magistrate that the register mark was upon
the head of every piece of stained paper manufactured by Ken-
nett and Crosby.

inflict the full penalty of 50/., which the defendant had in-
curred. The defendant had not only imitated the com-
plainant's paper, but carried on a trade in it. The designs
were substantially the same. There was the difference always
to be seen in a copy.
Mr. Pelham, finding the magistrate determined to convict,
appealed to Mr. Crosby for mercy for his client, and said he
hoped he would be satisfied if the further sale of the printed
paper was suppressed.
Mr. Crosby said he had been at some expense in registering
his designs, and in addition to the suppression of the sale, he
should not be content unless the defendant gave up his blocks
to be destroyed, and inserted a " public apology" in three or
four of the leading newspapers.
The defendant was glad enough to accept of these terms, and
to pay the expense of inserting the apology in the newspapers
as an advertie•ement.
Mr. BRODERIP said he would suspend his judgment for one
week, and if Mr. Crosby's terms were nut complied with he
should inflict a penalty of 301.
The defendant said he would immediately give up the blocks
and carry out the agreement.
is Mr. Ole Anderson Krage appeared before Mr. Broder.p to
answer the demand of Mr. Edward Taylor Dumlin, a licensed
Trinity House pilot, who sued for a balance of 275., to which he
was entitled for piloting the ship Scandinavian from the Surrey
Canal Dock to the Downs. The defendant, a Norwegian, was
attended by an interpreter.
Mr. Dumlin said he brought forward this case on public
grounds. On the 31st of May last he went on board the
Scandinavian to ascertain if the defendant wanted a pilot, and

r.

he offered him a lower price than the rates fixed by Act of
Parlisofient. He refused to take charge of the ship unless paid
4,;:,ecerding to the regular scale, and told the defendant it was
contrary to law to 6 b t defendant said he would get a
cheap pilot, and he then left Lim. On th following day he
egain went on board, and found the ship gettil g under efeigh,
with an easterly wind, and an unlicensed pilot on board. He
took charge of the ship with the defendant's permission, and he
said the draught of water was only nice feat, and he shaped
his course accordingly. On arriving in the lower part of Gal-
leetis, beat Woolwich, he met with a shoal, and was taking the
ship otet it. *hen she began to smell the ground, and tailed
on the edge of the shoal, where she stuck fast. He then told
the defendant that he had made a great mistake in the ship's
draught of water, and that instead of nine feet she drew eleven
feet j afkl; to satisfy himself, he sounded round the vessel/ and
found that her dratght of water was 11 feet. The ship re'
mained on the shoal until telt flood tide, when she floated off,
and he piloted her without any curtb?,i• misadveiture down to
the Sunk-light, where the defendant paid him 71. for his pilot-
age, and gave a boatman 15.5., as he was bound to do, to put
him ashore: He had only received pilotage for a ship drawing
nine feet of water. The ship drew within an inch or two of 11
feet, but he had only charged for 10k feet, and was legally en-

titled to 275. more.
Air. B RODER'? —How much does the ship actually draw?
The pilot—l found, according to the Norwegian measure-
ment, which is a little more than the English, 10i feet. It
was clo-e upon 11 English feet.
The defendant made some vague observations in reply to
the charges. He admitted the ship drew 10 feet, or 10 feet
2 inches, or a little more, and said, if the pilot knew the differ-
ence between the Norwegian and the English measurement, he
ought to have ascertained the draught of water before he took
charge of the ship.
The pilot said he was quite unprepared for what took place.
He relied on what the captain said, that his vessel drew nine
feet only. When the vessel took the ground the accident was
attended with danger to the ship and cargo, and if anything
serious had happened he might have lost his license and his
reputation at the same time.
Mr. BRODERIr said he had never met with such a case
before during his long experience as a magistrate. The pilot
alleged that a deception was practised upon him to save a few
shillings in the amount of pilotage, and it did appear he was
not prepared for the ship " smelling the ground," and would
have avoided the shoal if he had been aware the ship drew
eleven feet water. The evidence of the pilot was not rebutted,
and he was of opinion he was entitled to the additional sum of
275., and ought to have been paid for a ship of 104 feet draught
of water instead of nine feet.

WRECK OF THE FELICIDADE
SCHOONER. _ _ .

It will be in the recollection of our readers that the
slave schooner Felicidade, of infamous celebrity, after
being the scene of the treacherous murder of the Bri-
tish officers and crew who had charge of her as a prize,
was recaptured by her Majesty's ship Star, and after
being manned by a small party of sailors, under
command of Lieutenant Wilson, was dispatched to Sierra
Leone for adjudication. She was suddenly upset in a
squall while on her voyage, and a brief summary of the
extraordinary escape of the crew has already appeared
in our columns, but we have had sent to us the fol-
lowing more detailed account of the shipwreck :—On the
6th of March, in lat. 1 deg. 18 min. N., and long. 3 deg.
30 min. N., at noon, Cape Three Points, the nearest land
bearing N.N.E , distant about 230 miles, about three P.M.,
when under sail, steering W.N.W., with a breeze from the
south, a squall was observed coming up astern. Sail was
immediately shortened, but the man at the helm, instead
of keeping her in the course she was steering, as he was
ordered by Lieutenant Wilson to do, put the helm aport,
and then brought her by the lee ; the squall took her at
the sane moment, and she turned over in a minute on
her beam ends and filled. The squall passed over in
half an hour. No lives had been lost. The whole
number were huddled together on the gunwale.
Having no boat, and fearing that she might
not float along, the only expedient that occurred to
tin m for saying their lives was the construction of
a raft, which was immediately set about. Three of the
seamen had knives, with which they began at once to
cut all the spars, canvas, and cordage that could be got
at ; the main-boom was not obtained without great dif-
ficulty, and then only by the Kroomen diving and cutting
the par under water. Before dark they had succeeded
in lashing the main-yard, fore and maintopsail, top-gal-
lantsail yards, studsail booms and gaffs, for a raft ; it
was then shifted to leeward of the vessel, and all hands,
ten in number, got upon it, apprehensive that the vessel
might sink during the night. In the morning, finding
the raft was hardly able to carry them all, the foreyard
was added as an outside spar, the main-boom being on
the other side, and the smaller spars amidships. The
only provision they could procure was a little putrid
pork, no water, and about a gallon and a half of rum,
which had been lashed on deck. Nothing else could be
procured, for the Kroomen, though expert divers, were
prevented by the slave-deck from getting into the vessel.
Having nothing but their light clothing, some canvas
was taken from the sails to serve as protection from the
weather, and all the small rope that could be procured
was also placed upon the raft, for the purpose of re-
placing the lashings should they be long upon it. As
much of the planking of the bulwarks as could be torn
off was preserved for paddles to steer with, and for seats.
About four A.M. of the 19th, finding the schooner had
settled down considerably, and that nothing more was
to be got from her, a mast and sail was rigged, and
they cast off from the wreck in good spirits, in the hope
of reaching land. Having no compass, the sun by day
and the stars by night were their guide. For four days
there was no appearances of rain, and all suffered much
from thirst ; and so few clothes had been saved, that in
the day they were scorched by the sun, and at night the
cold was intense. From the weight upon the raft, and
from the circumstance of all the spars having their fit-
tings upon them, it swam very deep, which kept them
constantly immersed in water, and if they lay down, the
sea washed over their heads; in fact, the fore part of the
raft was from two to three feet under water.

On the fifth day they caught a little rain water, which
served to revive every one, and on the seventh day they
obtained another, though more scanty supply.
On the ninth day two of the Kroomen were delirious
from drinking salt water, and in the evening the Quar-
ter-master, also, became delirious from the same cause,
notwithstanding their having been earnestly cautioned
against it, and the inevitable consequences pointed out.
The sharks, which had followed them from the third
day, began now to swim round the raft, and an attempt
was successfully made to catch one ; a bait was held out,
and when the shark was in the act of turning to it, one
of the Kroomen seized him by the tail, a rope was imme-
diately made fast, and the men cut him across the back
with their knives, which rendered him comparatively
powerless, and by their united efforts it was dragged
upon the raft. It measured between seven and eight feet
in length. The blood and flesh revived them ; and that
day, the tenth from leaving the wreck, it rained heavily,
which enabled them to assauge their thirst and to fill
the empty rum cask half full of water. Nothing, how-
ever, could restore the three Kroomen and the Quarter-
master, who were previously delirious. The next morn-
ing one of the Kroomen was found dead on the raft, the
other two died during the day, and the Quartermaster is
the evening, giving the survivors a fearful warning of
the effects of drinking salt water.
The greatest care was taken of the water, a mouthful
being served out three times a day in the heel of a
shoe. They caught at intervals three more sharks, in
the same manner as before, and some flying fish ; the
latter, however, they could scarcely swallow, so parched
were their throats. They found the sharks much more
nourishing and easy to eat. It rained once or tewhicae
u
afterwards, but the sea ran over their heads
in
manner that they found it impossible to catchwater.s
.
Their utmost effort was now required to keep the raft
together ; it often got adrift, and little rope was left to
secure it. Their limbs were so swollen and ulcerated,
and so little strength was left them, that they could
scarcely move. The masthead had fallen down, and they
were unable to raise it, so that all hope of reaching the
land began to fail them. Nevertheless, the English sea-
men were resigned and obedient.
On the 3d of April one of the Brazilians died. In
the evening of the 4th of April, after having been nine-
teen days upon the raft, they saw the land. The next
morning it was out of sight again. Soon after daylight
they saw a sail to leeward ; she appeared to approach
the raft, and the hope of being saved gave them strength
to stand up and make signals, but in vain, for she shortly
bore up and left them. They were then so weak that
had the raft reached the land, they were well aware that
they must have perished in the surf. Another vessel
now appeared in sight, and communicated with the one
they had first seen. She then stood towards them, and
their hopes once more revived ; a boat was sent out, and
they found they had been saved by her Majesty's brig
Coquet, being then about thirty miles to leeward of St.
Paul's. Four hours after they had been picked up the
other Brazilian died, he also had drank salt water.
The conduct of the men was most exemplary through-
out, and, under the Providence of God, was mainly instru-
mental in preserving their lives.
