MAR YLEBONE.

Yesterday, Philip Baker, a gunner and driver of the
Royal Artillery, stationed at Woolwich, was brought up
in custody:and placed at the bar before the sitting magis-
trate, Mr. Rawlinson, charged with the following
outrage : _ _ _

Witay, a constable, in the employ of the London and
Birmingham Railway Company, deposed that on the
same morning, at a quarter past nine, the prisoner came
very drunk into the booking office at the Euston•square
station, and insisted, although he had not taken a ticket,
to pass through to the platform, with the view of going
by the train ; he was told that he was not in a fit condi-
tion then to be allowed to enter either of the carriages,
when he became extremely outrageous and abusive, aid
kicked witness with great force upon the groin.
Inspector Challenor said that hearing of the assault
which had been committed upon M'Kay, he caused the
prisoner to be conveyed to the Phenix-street station-
house, and while the charge was there being entered in
the book by Sergeant Shaw, he suddenly seized hold of
a poker, exclaiming, " Now I'll let you know who I am,"
and would in all probability have seriously injured him
(the inspector) had not a man on " reserve" duty closed
in upon him and wrested the poker from his grasp.
The prisoner's excuse for his conduct was that he had
partaken too freely of drink. He hoped the magistrate
would be as lenient as possible.
The MAGISTRATE fined him 405., or, in default of pay-
ment, a month's imprisonment.
QUEEN-SQUARE.

Yesterday, Sarah Smith, a middle-aged woman, un-
derwent a lengthened examination on several charges of
robbery.
Prisoner had been for the last four or five years en-
gaged as charwoman at the houses of several resp-ct-
able persons at Chelsea and Brornpton, and availed her-
self of the opportunity so afforded to plunder her em-
ployers to a considerable extent. Information of one of
these robberies having been given to the police -sergeant
Skelton, of the B division, he went to the house of the
prisoner, who hid the reputation of being a very
poor woman, and there found upwards of 50/. in gold
and silver, an acknowledgment for 110/. lent by her to a
friend, a gold watch, some gold rings, and a great deal
of property of various descriptions, among which were
many articles identified by her landlady, and some of
those who had employed her.
Mrs. Elizabeth Ball, of 4, Queen- terrace, Marlborough-
road, Chealsea, said that the prisoner had been employed
by her twice a week during the last twelve months. She
had missed property at various times since the prisoner
had been in the habit of coming backwards and forwards
to her house, and identified six handkerchiefs, a pair of
gloves, and other articles produced, as amongst the
things she had missed.
Mrs. Sarah King, of No. 1, Hive-street, Chelsea,
baker, stated that prisoner had lodged in her house for
eighteen months, but had left some time prior to her ap-
prehen.don. During the whole of that time she (witness)
was continually being robbed of bread, flour, linen, and
other articles. She identified some knives, spoons, and silk
cord, and, to the best of her belief, a wedding-ring pro-
duced was the one she had lost, and which prisoner pre-
tended to assist her in looking for at the time, express-
ing much sorrow for the distress she exhibited on the
occasion.

Mr. Todd, of No. 3, June-street, Chelsea, builder,
proved that prisoner had been employed at his house,
but had been sent away three months ago in consequence
of repeated losses. Prisoner had thrown suspicion upon
a girl who was in his service, in consequence of which
the latter was discharged. He identified three pieces of
satin paper, a silver pencil case, a gold snap, and other
articles.

sergeant Skelton proved finding the articles above
spoken to by the several prosecutors in prisoner's room.
Mr. BOND inquired whether there were any other pro-
secutors in attendance?

Skelton replied that the lady who owned the gold
watch was not present. lie had a reticule belonginv to
another lady, who did not wish to prosecute.
Prisoner was then committed for trial on the three
eases above stated.

On the application of prisoner's professional advisers
(Mr. Miller, a barrister, and a Mr. Williams), the former
of whom had cross-examined the witnesses, without
eliciting anything favourable to his client, 201., was or-
dered to be given over to the prisoner out of the money
found in her rooms.

The Ecclesiastical Commission for England had
a meeting yesterday at the office in Whitehall-
place. The Commissioners present were the Arch-
bishop of Canterbury, the Bishop of London, the
Bishop of Llandaff, the Chancellor of the Exchequer,
and the Dean of Westminster.

DUNKELD.—AFFECTING INCIDENT. On Friday
evening se'nnight a very melancholy and affecting cir-
cumstance happened in the little village of Cotlea, nearly
opposite Murthly, on the north bank of the Tay. A
wedding party belonging to the neighbourhood were
passing through the village, some of whom, according
to a most dangerous and foolish practice that still
prevails in some parts •t the country, had pistols
along with them, ter the purpoic of ann )uncing
the happy event of a marriage by firing them
opposite every house they passed. When the report
of the pistols was heard, several of the villagers
of Cotlea, with candles in their hands—the even-
ing being dark—came to their doors to witness the gay
party. When it arrived, one of those who had a pistol,
either accidentally, or wishing to blow out a candle
which a young woman was holding, discharged it, when
the contents—wadding and powder—poured into her
eye, and completely blew it out from the socket. The
sad event has caused a deep Gloom over the whole neigh-
bourhood, and, what renders it, :if possible, still more dis-
tressing, the young woman was 6W-tiding beside her
sweetheart at the time. They were both intimately ac-
quainted with the bride and bridegroom, and were
shortly to have been the principal actors in a similar
joyous party themaelves.
