Sir PETER LAURIE, in moving that the paper drawn up by

whole Court, said the 6°44 vcrp tpoch indebted to the Lord
'Mayor for the spirited and able come he had" pursliW, in 4§-

and he had, when Priiice .4.16;4 yisitpd the Niter: practically

slthject to be one of great importance. It was the custom, in

made to the Governors of the Royal HospitalS, they would
at once admit the existence of the authority.—(Hear.)

-----
Alderman SIDNEY entertained a different opinion as far as
regarded Christ's Hospital at any rate, for the Governors of
that institution had manifested the strongest disposition to
show a total disregard for the authority of the Lord Mayor.
Alderman WILSON could not be silent when he saw so
plainly attempts made to take away the privileges of the
Corporation.—(Bear, hear.) It was his trm opinion that
the only place in which the question could be settled, was in
a court of law, and he trusted that an appeal would be
made as soon as possible to that authority.—( Hear, hear.)
The motion was then ageed to, and the Court adjourned.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.

Daniel Garrett, who stands charged with having com-
mitted several robberies at railway termini, was further ex-
amined before Mr. Alderman Hughes Hughes. Mr. Alder-
man Lucas and the Lord Mayor elect were also on the bench.
Mr. Clarkson attended with Mr. Nash, from Messrs. Swain
and Co.'s, to prosecute on behalf of the Great Western Rail-
way, the South Western Railway, and the Brighton Railway ;
Mr. Humphreys attended to support three or four charges on
the part of the Birmingham Railway; and Mr. Thwaites
appeared en behalf of the prisoner.
Since the last examination great exertions had been used
by advertising the property found at the prisoner's lodgings,
and otherwise, to procure additional evidence.
Mr. Clarkson stated, in opening the case, that besides
showing that the prisoner was the person who stole Mr.
Prance's letter-case, for receiving which Maynard had been
already committed, he proposed to charge him with stealing
some property belonging to Dr. Daniel, a medical gentleman
residing at Bath, and to Mr. Winter, of Motcombe-street.
It would be remembered, that Mr. Prance's loss
occurred on the Bth of July, and that on the 12th
he received an anonymous letter that his letter-case
and contents were safe, and might be recovered for a
liberal reward. By showing that this letter was in the hand-
writing of the prisoner, he should fix him with the posses-
sion of the property four days after it was stolen. On the
18th a second anonymous letter was sent, complaining that no
attention had been paid to the first, and requiring a reward
to be immediately advertised, or the property would be placed
out of the control of the writer. An advertisement iwas ac-
cordingly published on the 23d of July, which produced a
third letter from the anonymous correspondent, stating that
his agent was at Sandhurst, and would write to Mr. Prance.
This introduced the agent, Maynard, upon the scene, who
produced the stolen property. He should prove these three
letters to be in the handwriting of the prisoner, by calling
Captain Culpepper, in whose service the prisoner was for a
time. He should show that the prisoner visited Maynard in
the Compter the day after he was apprehended, and that
when the prisoner was taken into custody he made that
desperate resistance which might be expected from a man
who was conscious that he was deeply involved. Mr. Clark-
son adverted to a miserable device which had been resorted
to by some of the prisoner's friends or companions, who had
sent to the females of Mr. Nash's family a letter containing
dreadful threats, if he pursued his charges against the pri-
soner. It would completely fail in
,its object, for Mr. Nash
would persist in endeavouring to the utmost to bring to jus-
tice not only the prisoner, but all his companions.
Captain Culpepper, of Stanhope-street, was then sworn.
He said the prisoner was in his service as butler for the sea-
son of 1843. He saw his handwriting, but not frequently ;
but he had a recollection of his hand, and had received a let-
ter from him respecting giving him a character.
Cross- examined by Mr. Thwaites—He used to disburse
small sums occasionally, and make out bills, which witness
settled and tore up. Never saw the prisoner write, and did
not swear to his writing.
Mr. Alderman H. HUGHES said no person swears to hand-
writing, they only swear to their belief.
Captain Culpepper said that was exactly the case. To the
best of his belief two of the letters produced were written by
the prisoner. To the other he could not speak.
Cross-examined—He received a good character of the pri-
soner from Lord Falkland, and gave the prisoner a good cha-
racter when he discharged him. Had never seen him write.
Could not say that he was able to write, or that the bills th i
prisoner brought to him had not been written by one of his
fellow-servants; but he presumed the letter was written by
prisoner, and it was from that letter he spoke more particu-
larly as to the prisoner's handwriting, because the prisoner
sail it was his writing.
Joseph Collard, the superintendent, was next examined.
He said the prisoner resisted with great violence till Mr. Nash
spoke of pistols. Among the things he found at the pri-
soner's lodgings was a pencil-case with a chequered wafer
stamp at the end, which corresponded with the seal on the
three letters produced.
Mr. Clarkson said this served to fix upon the prisoner the
writing of the letter, respecting which the captain expressed
a doubt.
Mr. Thwaites said it did no such thing. These pencil-
cases were manufactured by the gross exactly alike.
Collard continued—He apprehended Maynard on the sth
of August, and on the 6th he saw the prisoner come out of
the Giltspur-street Compter, where Maynard was.
George Edis Evans, a turnkey at the Compter, identified
the prisoner as a person who had an interview with Maynard
on the 6th. The prisoner gave his name as John Smith for
entry in the visitor's book. Maynard was short of money,
and the prisoner told him he might have 51. if lie liked. The
prisoner replied, a sovereign would be sufficient, and it was
given to witness to put to his account, prisoners, before con-
viction, having the option to support themselves. The pri-
soner and Maynard appeared to be well acquainted.
Mr. Nash deposed to finding some pieces of paper in the
grate at Maynard's house,' in Howland-street, which, upon
being pasted together, appeared to be a rough draft and
nearly a verbatim copy of the letter dated the 12th of July,
which Captain Culpepper had identified as in the prisoner's
writing.
Louisa Ludeman, of 19, Queen-street, Edgware-road, iden-
tified the prisoner as having lodged at her father's house till
the 12th of August, when he went away. She had seen
Maynard in Newgate, and recognised him as a person who
called four or five times to see the prisoner Garrett. May-
nard called within a week before he (Maynard) was appre-
hended.
Mr. Alderman H. HUGHES asked Collard if he had ever
seen the prisoner at the railway ?--Collard replied he had
not, but there were other persons who had.
Mr. Clark Son said that was as far as he could carry that
case to-day. He proceeded to the second charge.
Dr. John Bamfylde Daniel, of Bath, deposed that he
was a traveller en the Great Western Railway in the early
part of August, and he lost a black leather portmanteau,
containing apparel to the Value of several pounds. The
train came in at dusk,' and there was some confusion in
getting the articles out of the luggage van. There were
several portmanteaus. He Saw a man cell to a porter to
hand him one which witness believed to be his own, and he
went round to the person who had obtained possession of it.
This was the prisoner. He asked the prisoner whether he
had his own portmanteau. The prisoner replied, " there can
be no mistake about this." 'Witness rejoined that it was
very like his portmanteau. The prisoner said nothing
farther, but got into a cab'and was driven away. Witness
went hack to the luggage receptacle to see if his portman-
teau was there, but could not find it. He had a strong re-
collection of the prisoner's features, but he had no spectacles
on then.
The prisonerwas ordered to take off his spectacles and put
on his hat.
The witness said he was sure the prisoner was the same
person,- He had not seen him on the road to London, but
unly'in the terminus.
Mr.- Alderman H. 'lmams supposed he looked at him
closely because he suspected he was taking away his trunk.
The witness said it was just so. He kept him in sight as
long as he could.
Mr. Clarkson remarked that the tracing of the contents of
the trunk to the prisoner's lodging would prove that he was
not mistaken.
Witness identified two gold watches, some gloves, and
other articles, of which he delivered a list. He also deli-
Vered in a list of articles which had not been found, of the
value of 107.
The cross-examination elicited nothing material, and in
re-examination the witness stated that there were some cards
with 'his address in the portmanteau.
Mr. Alderman H. HUGHES said, if the portmanteau had
been taken in mistake, or found, the finder could have had
no difficulty in discovering the owner.
The witness—Certainly not.
Collard proved the finding of the articles identified by the
doctor, He brought them from the prisoner's lodgings, at
No. 40, Great North-street, Lisson-grove. He produced also
the portmanteau, which he recovered on Saturday last from
the possession of a Mr. Hawkins of Kennington-green.
Mrs. Noble, of Great North-street, deposed that the room
where the articles were found was rented by the prisoner. He
was introduced by a man who said he was a neighbour, but
who was a stranger. She had no reference. The prisoner,
when she asked his name, said he would tell her that another
time. He came to her on the 13th of September.
Mr. Hawkins, a wine merchant, at Kennington-green,
said he knew ie prisoner from having recently ledgeci at
the Ceek Tavern at Kennington, where witness occasionally
spent an evening. lie lodged there for a short time about a
month ago. The prisoner said he had been travelling, and
was going on the continent, and was encumbered with to
luggage. lylighod to dispose sOmo, and took wit-
ness up into.las room and offered him vaaious articles for sale.
Witness bought them for 1/. 18s. fid, Besides the portman-
teau (identified by Dr, Daniel) there was a carpet bag and a
hat box marked " Winter," The prisoner said hp 101 l Jost a
bunch of hey, and had been obliged to break open all his
trunks. Witness thought this was probable. There wore
some articles of apparel in the lot which he had since dis-
posed of. Hearing of the railway robberies, he Lk:night it
proper to communicate with I%jr. Okillard.
4fter some desultory convers4tion, a there was no chance
of going iheongli' the etbef cases that evening, Mr. Alderman
fiegbes fftighes 0)014114 the hearing tilt' the next day,

BOW-STREET.
Mrs. Challis, a tobacconist, residing in Drury-lane, was
charged, at the instance of the Commissioners of her Ma-
jesty's Customs, with having in her imsoion a gallon of
brandy. and 9lbe. of tohaeeo„ thp lamp heing plu
g

for the purpose of examining the stock, tAfc. fie was pro-
ceeding to dpacrihe the discovery of the smuggled goods,
when the defendantpleaded Guilty to the charge.
Mr. 'fWYFORD—Very well,' Speak • the truth, and

Mrs. Challis then proceeded to state that she had been en-
trapped into the purchase of the goods by a foreigner, and
zyaa not aware of the serious nature of her offense. IdhP s4id,

and having agreed to give the price set. upon it, he returned
it into the bands of the shopman, desiring him to wind it up
and set it going, as he was in a hurry to be off to business.
This having been done without loss of time, the watch was
returned to the prisoner, who, placing it in his fob with one
hand, began rummaging about in his trousers pocket, as if
searching for the money to close the bargain. Instead, how-
ever, of paying for the watch, the prisoner made a sudden
" bolt" out of the shop, and ran down the London-road with
great swiftness, pursued by the shopman. calling out "Stop
thief." When the prisoner got to the corner of Market-
street, he ran down the turning, but the number of his pur-
suers having increased he was at length stopped, and when
subsequently searched the complainant's watch was found in
his possession.

When questioned by the magistrate, the prisoner said
that at present he should decline making any defence, as he
supposed the case must go before a jury.—He was then com-
mitted.

THAMES.
EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF RAPE.— Samuel Hart, a
grave-looking man, 50 years old, and nearly bald-headed,
was brought before Mr. Ballantine, charged with forcibly
violating the person of Mary Ann Dodd, his wife's sister,
aged 18 years.
Mr. Pelham stated the case for the prosecution. He said
this was a most painful and extraordinary case. The prisoner
was a painter and glazier, and lived in Greenwood-street,
Mile-end. The girl whom he was charged with abusing was
a cripple, and had bean afflicted with a diseaieof the hip from
the time of her birth ; and one of her legs being shorter than
the other, she could not walk without the assistance of a
crutch. When she lay down, she could not rise again without
a great effort, unless she was assisted. Some time ago the
girl went to the house of her sister, the prisoner's second
wife, as 'a sort of domestic, and to do needle-work. On
the night of Tuesday, the 16th ult., the prisoner came
home with his wife at a very late hour. The girl was
sitting. up for them, and let them in, and they all went
up stairs to their bed-rooms at the same time. The girl's
bed-room was on the same floor, and adjoined the
prisoner's bed-room. She slept with the prisoner's three
children. At daybreak, on the morning of the 17th, the
girl was awoke by the prisoner, who had obtained admission
to her bed, and he then committed the offence laid to his
charge. The girl screamed loudly for help, indeed as loud as
she was able, and the children awoke and began crying. The
prisoner immediately left her and returned to his own room.
His wife, it appeared, slept so sound that she did not hear the
screams of her sister, and was not made acquainted with the
affair until several days afterwards. The girl was so over-
come with shame and fear that she made no communication
to her sister in the house or to tiny one else, until Sunday
last, when she informed another sister and her father that the
prisoner had abused her. and begged of them to obtain re-
dress. Her father promised that he would attend to her
wishes, but he hail not sought redress for his injured daughter,
and took no steps in the matter at all Under these circum-
stances the sister had consulted him (Mr. Pelham), and he
advised that the man should be immediately given into cus-
tody. The prisoner was the father of a large family. He
should prove the facts he had stated by the evidence of the
injured girl, and he submitted, that notwithstanding the
length of time which had elapsed Won.: tha prosecutrix made
any communication to her friends, it was a proper case to be
sent before a jury.
Mary Ann Dodd was then sworn. Her testimony confirmed
the statement of her solicitor. She added that the prisoner
had since made improper advances towards her, which she
had resisted.
Mr. BALLA'ITINE-Why did you not mention this to the
prisoner's wife ? Witness (crying)—l was too much ashamed,
sir.

Mr. BALLANTINE—TO whom did you first mention what
the prisoner had done? Witness—To my sister Caroline. I
saw her on Friday last, and told her I was not comfortable
with my eldest sister and her husband, and wished to leave
them. On Sunday I left the prisoner's house, and told my
sister Caroline how the prisoner had misbehaved.
Caroline Dodd, who is several years older than the prose-
cutrix, stated that the last witness called upon her on Friday.
She appeared much depressed, and said she was afraid of the
prisoner, and that he had not behaved well towards her. She
asked her sister whst the prisoner had done, and she said she
had something on her mind which she would divulge upon
another occasion. On Sunday, when her sister returned
home, she related everything to witness. She immediately
communicated with her father, who desired her to leave
everything to him, and he had done nothing.
Mr. BALLANTINE— Did she appeor to be ill ? Witness—
She was very ill, and had been fretting.
Mr. BALLANTINE asked the prosecutrix if she had seen her
sister between the 17th and 27th, and she replied in the
negative.
Mr. BALLANTINE said the girl had suffered ten days to
elapse before she complained to any one, and continued to
live in the house of the very man who, she alleged, had
ruined her. That was an awkward circumstance ; but it
did not palliate the prisoner's guilt, if guilty he was. The
girl was of mature age, and there was nothing to prevent
her complaining to the prisoner's wife, who was, moreover,
her own sister.
Mr. Pelham said nothing but a feeling of shame had pre-
vented the girl communicating with her friends. He asked
the sister if the prisoner's wife had not made some proposal
in connexion with the affair.
The witness said that her eldest sister had promised to
support the prosecutrix and her offspring if she became preg-
nant by the prisoner.
Mr. Pelham asked for a remand, that he might obtain the
evidence of a medical witness, and likewise the evidence of
the prisoner's own son, who saw the immoral conduct of his
parent.
The prisoner, with much animation, said the charge was
false, and trumped up against him by the prosecutrix and
her sister, who had given evidence. He was a respectable
and a moral man, and had never any idea of committing the
offence laid to his charge. The girl had robbed him to a
great extent, though he had supported and cherished her,
and her sister Caroline was a common prostitute, who for-
merly walked Bishopsgate. He begged of the magistrate to
allow him to put in bail and obtain professional advice, for
lie was an innocent man.
Mr. BALLANTINE said he had no doubt the case must
ultimately go before a jury, and when he did commit he
would take bail for the prisoner's appearance at the Central
Criminal Court. -Under those circumstances he had no
objection to receive good bail for the prisoner being forth-
coining to answer the charge on Friday next.
Bail was then tendered and accepted for the prisoner,
himself in 801., and two sureties of 401. each, and he was set
at liberty.
A BRUTAL FELLOW.— William Hazle, an ill-tempered
though well-dressed fellow, residing at 11, Portman-place,
Stepney, was charged with cruelly maltreating Susannah
his wife.
The complainant, a delicate, interesting young woman,
stated that she had been for four years married to the pri-
soner, and during the whole of the period he had treated her
with most unrelenting cruelty, not from any sudden ex-
citement, but calmly and deliberately. On Sunday week he
got a piece of rope, which he made up in the form of a whip,
and on the same evening he took the screws from the hinges
of the door, which lie again temporarily fastened up with
nails. About four o'clock next morning he burst in the door,
and beat her cruelly with the rope which he had prepared.
On another occasion she gave him in charge fur beating her
with a thick bamboo cane, which he split to pieces on her
person, but on his promising amendment before the inspector,
the charge was not pressed. On Wednesday last he came
home in ill humour, and d—d the infant, who was crawling
upon the ground. She told him not to do so, as his curses
would fall upon himself, when lie followed her into the
kitchen, drew her along by the hair of the head, and gave her
several blows and kicks, which cut and marked her severely.
He never let her see the colour of his money, but left her
and her children to starve, so as that they were compelled to
live on the casual bounty of the neighbours.
Anne Pearson, a poor woman living in a house to the rear
of the prisoner's, proved that for the last three months, during
which she lived in the place, the prisoner treated his wife
with unremitting cruelty. On the previous Wednesday she
showed witness her legs. which were all over bruises, and in
gores of blood. The complainant was a most domestic
woman, who never left her home, but she and her children
were half starved by the prisoner, and witness often assisted
her with food out of her own scanty means.
John Pearson, husband to the last witness, stated that on
Saturday he saw a stick rise and fall through the window of
the prisoner's house as if some person was beating another in-
side with great violence. The house was at some distance,
and as the door was shut, witness heard no cries,
Mr. BALLANTLNE—You and your wife assisted this poor
woman ? Witness—.Oh, sir, don't speak of that, I'd blush to
mention it 1 'twas a trifie—a mere trifle. I wish it had been
more, poor thing, she subsists on too little.
This little touch of generous sympathy and unostentatious
humanity thrilled through the Court with an electric effect.
The prisoner in his defence admitted striking her, but said
she had ruined him by bar extravagance, and pawned all
he had.

Mr. BALLANTINE said it was clear the prisoner was a bad
tempered fellow, and no one with his disposition should be
in any place involving the alightbst authority. For the
assault on l4iN wife he should pay a fine of 51.. or be imprisoned
fop two months, besides giving security to keep the peace in
future.

The prisoner was locked up in default,
The worthy Magistrate subsequently ordered five shillings
to be given to the complainant, and a like sum to the poor
but worthy man who had relieved her in her necessities,
Pearson—No, your worship ; I am obliged to you. My
wife and I can earn our little morsel and eat it in peace.
Give it all to the poor woman.
Mr. BALLANTINE highly commended the noble spirit which
exhibited itself in so low a state, and was sure the honest fel-
low's own emotions were the !lest reward he could receive.
WORSHIP-STREET.
00INING.—George Reynolds, a middle-aged man, of re•
spectable connexions, was placed at the bar for further exa-
mination, charged with having been found engaged in the
manufacture of SPilriell,‘ mP.119.Y:
It appeired from the evidence of Sergeants Teakle and
Pace,of Vie 1 (Elision, that in consequence of information
they had received they proceeded on the morning of Thurs.
day last to a house in White Bear-gardens, Hackney-road,
and on knocking at the door they were admitted by the pri-
soner, whom they instantly aeciwed beibre he had time to re-
cover from the panic occasioned by their sudden appearance.
After searching his pockets, in which they found three comp.
terfeit half-crowns, they proceeded to a room on the first floor,
where they discovered a plaister-of-Pari!.4 mould fbr coining
half-crowns upon a trivit. n iimit ofthe fire, and alsoa smaller
m omid fgr the manufacture of shilling pieces, upon the
side of the stove. On a further search they afterwards disco,
vered a quantity of base metal, a crucible, Anyepal files, and
all the other requisite awl accessories fbr carrying
cn .
th 9 occupation. The prisoner was then con-
veyed to the station-house, on reaching which he stated that
distress had driven him to the commission of such practices,
in which he had been engaged only about four ar five week.
The prisoner was recognipd by the officers qthe Cur as
