MAI?YLEBONE.

THREATENING TO HORSEWHIP MR. RA.WLINSON.—
A tall athletic man, named Robert Kingston, a re-
tired publican, was placed at the bar before Mr.
Long, charged with having threatened to horsewhip
John Rawlinson, Esq., the highly respected magis-
trate of this court.

The Court was much crowded with persons anxious
to hear the proceedings.
Mr. Randall, of Welbeck-street, attended to con
duct the case on the part of Mr. Rawlinson, and Mr.
Humphreys for the prisoner. The inquiry occupied
nearly two hours. The prisoner's wife, rather a hand-
some young woman, to whom he was only married
on Friday last, at St. Pancras Church, was accommo-
dated with a seat near the bar.

Several persons having deposed to the excited con-
duct and violent threats of the prisoner,

Mr. Rawlinson deposed on oath—The prisoner was
brought before me last Monday week for assaulting
an omnibus conductor and two constables, when, for
each of the three assaults, I fined him 405., which
sums he paid, and was discharged. On te next
morning he was brought before me for having on the
previous afternoon been guilty of riotous conduct and
collecting a mob in Paddington-street, and on Jen-
nings, a constable of the D division, endeavouring to
take him into custody, he (prisoner) having felled
him to the ground. _For that assault I fined him 5/ ,
and, considering him to be a general breaker of the
peace, I ordered him to find bail for his being of
good behaviour. I allowed him time to procure the
bail, and ho was then discharged, upon Mr. Lepine
being answerable for his attendance to enter into the
required sureties that day week. The worthy magis-
trate concluded by stating that, from what had

transpired, he considered himself to be in personal
danger.
Mr. LONG said there was no doubt reasonable
ground for apprehension on the part of Mr. Rawlin-
son, and called upon the prisoner to find bail to ap-
pear at the sessions, himself in 5001., and two sureties
in 2501. each, with 48 hours' notice thereof.
The prisoner was removed in custody.
WORSHIP-STREET.

Anne M'Corrnack, recently a domestic in the ser-
vice of Mr. M. Gomez Silva, a West India merchant,
residing in King-street, Finsbury-square, was
brought up for re-examination, charged with having
inveigled away her master's daughter, an interesting
child ten years of age, for immoral purposes, and also
with having stolen a sovereign, the property of Sarah
Leah, her fellow-servant.
Mr. Clarkson, the barrister, attended on behalf of
the prosecution, and called the following additional
evidence :

Lydia Benson stated that she was at the house of
her daughter, a married woman, keeping a fish-shop
in Chandos-street, at twelve o'clock on Monday last,
when the child, Julia Silva, entered, and asked if she
could be accommodated with lodgings. Struck by
the respectable appearance and extreme youth of the
child, she put several questions to her, in answer to
which she said her father and mother were both dead,
and that she was then under the care of a lady in the
City, to whom she was desirous of writing a letter.
'Witness was immediately convinced there was some-
thing wrong, and desired her daughter to take the
child to the house of Mrs. Hall, in Charles-court, with
a request that she might be taken care of until some-
thing could be sscertaiged with regard to her.
Mary Hall deposed to the child being brought to
her, and that on questioning her she repeated the
same story she had told to Mrs. Benson, and added
that she expected the young lady to come for her be-
tween six and seven in the evening. At that hour the
prisoner came and inquired if a young lady was there,
on which she was shown into a parlour, where a po-
liceman was in waiting, who at once took her into
custody.
Julia Silva was then called, and examined at great
length by Mr. Clarkson, but it is unnecessary to re-
peat her evidence, the substance of which was given
in our account of the first day's proceedings, further
than to say that the prisoner had only been three
weeks in her father's service, and received notice to
quit on the third day after she came. Immediately
after the warning had been given her she commenced
tampering with the child, and told her that her
mother was a very disagreeable person, and that if
she (witness) went away with her, she would be a
great deal more happy than she would be at home.
In the evening before her flight the prisoner told her
that she must go with her the following day, or she
should drag her away by force. The prisoner also
ordered her to go to her father's plate chest, where
her mother's jewel-case was kept, which the prisoner
told her she must bring to her, but the witness poi-
tively refused to do so.
This being all the evidence produced as to in-
veigling the child,
Mr. BINGHAM asked the Learned Counsel if he
had determined as to what course he should pursue
with respect to the conjoint charges ?
Mr. Clarkson said he considered it most advisable
at present to confine himself to the charge of felony
in stealing the sovereign.
Mr. BINGHAM then said that he should commit the
prisoner on the charge of felony, but should remand
her upon the misdemeanour, to allow the Learned
Counsel time to reduce it to a more tangible shape.

UNION-HALL.
Thomas Greaves, John Graham, and William Bennett,
were charged with stealing NO cwt. of iron, the property
of Sir John Rennie, at Bankside.
A policeman on duty on Bankside, at four o'clock. this
mornin., hearing a noise on Sir John Rennie's premises,
proceeded there, and found the above quantity of iron
had been removed to an adjacent wharf. He also saw
three men running out of the yard towards the river-sid4,
and, on examination, the three prisoners were found con-
cealed in a barge close to the spot. Since the prisouer's
apprehension, another man, named Bryant, a marine
store-dealer, in Broadwall, was taken into custody, in the
act of removing a large quantity of iron in a cart from
his house, the greater portion of which was identified as
having been stolen from Sir John Rennie's premises.
The prisoners were remanded.
Elizabeth Taylor and Sarah Co, ben, two young women,
recently in the service of Mr. Beale, a solicitor, of Maid-
stone, were charged with embezzling 401., the property of
their master.

It appeared the prisoners were entrusted with the
above sum, at various times, for the purpose of paying off
the tradesmen's bills in the town. Instead, however, of
discharging the bills, they both absconded, and were
taken into custody in London, having taken lodgings ou
this side of the water, and both were dressed out in the
first style of fashion.—The prisoners were remanded.
