CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY

OLD COURT.

The second edition of the calendar exhibits an increase of 24
prisoners, the majority of them being larceny cases.
(13,flore the LORD CHIEF BARON and Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.)
Jean DeemPr, a foreigner, was indicted for feloniously forging
and uttering a promissory note for the payment of 5,000 francs,
with intent to defraud Michael Scott and another.

Mr. DOANE said that the prisoner's trial had been, at the request
of the prosecutor, put off for the last four sessions, he alleging
that a material witness was absent in France. He understood
that his Learned Friend, Mr. Clarkson, was not now instructed to
prosecute, and under those circumstances he should crave aver_
diet of acquittal.

➢fr. CLA RKSON said he had had no instructions on the subject.
The jury, by the instructions of the Lord Chief Baron, dis.
charged the prisoner.

George Wm. Reynolds was indicted for having moulds for the
purposes of coininj, and counterfeit coins in his possession.
Mr. Ellis, with Mr. Bodkin , were for the prosecution, and Mr.
Payne for the defence.

The facts of the case as they appeared in evidence were these:—
In consequence of some information received, Sergeant Tickell of
the 11 division went to the prisoner's house in White Bear.gar.
dens, Kingslnd- road. The door was opened by the prisoner.
Witness, an searching his pockets, found three counterfeit half-
crowns, and in a room up stairs he found fourteen base shillings,
moulds, plaister of Paris, metal, pipkins, and the other materials
for coining.

Corroborative evidence was produced.
Mr. PA r. addressed the jury. He endeavoured to show that
the prisoner was not himself the coiner, the real culprit being a
lodger not in custody. The pressure of poverty had induced him
to assent to these practices, but further he was not guilty.
The LORD CHIEF BARON summed up, and the jury returned a
♦erdict of Guilty, with a recommendation to mercy, as it was his
first offence.

Sentence—lmprisonment for twelve months, with hard labour.
►Viliam Bassett was indicted for feloniously cutting and wounding
Thomas Barrett.

Mr. Doane appeared to prosecute, and Mr. Clarkson was en
gaged for the defence.

It appeared that, on the 7th October, the prisoner, a whartinger
on Uxbridge-moor, came up to the prosecutor's fence, anti said,
" Nabby Barrett, I've got a knife for you—l'll cut your throat."
He then struck a blow upon the prosecutor's face with some instru.
ment, and inflicted a severe wound upon his brow and nose. The
blood flowed from it, and he was some time after under the sur.
goon's hands.

The prosecutor's wife, and the chemist who dressed the wound,
were examined in corroboration.

Mr. CLAItKsoN for the defence, described the whole as a drunken
squabble, and contended that the charge of felony must fall to the
ground.

Mr. Justice COLERIDGR summed up, and
The jury found the prisoner Guilty of the common assault.
The prisoner was sentenced to two months' imprisonment, with
hard labour.

NEW COURT.
(Before the COMMON SERGEANT.)

Matilda Palmer was accused and convicted of taking a diamond,
a ruby, and some money, off the person of Tliumas Gardiner. The
prisoner accosted Gardiner in Old Kent-road, and put her arms
about his middle. Witness felt her hand in his pocket, and seised
her as she was about to make off, whet► she left her shawl in his
hands.—Sentenced to nine months' imprisonment and held labour.
Elizabeth Riches, charged with stealing a purse and some money
from James Sarstield, pleaded Not Guilty.
Samfield was proceeding along Whitechapel, and was accosted by
the prisoner, who requested him to walk home with her. She put
her arms about his middle and parted from him soon after. A
policeman saw them together, and, a short distance from the spot
where the woman parted, met Sarsfield, with his pockets turned
inside out. Sarstield, who till then suspected nothing of it, found
he had lost his purse and money. Policeman went after the pri-
soner, and found the purse produced, which, as to money, and ap.
pearance, answers the prosecutor's description.
The prisoner, without counsel, subjected both witnesses to a
searching cross-examination. She is a widow, and appeared in
Court with a suckling child. She had been convicted of a former
offence, and was now sentenced to ten years' transportation.
John Rowe, Henry Taylor, and Jason Jonathan Rowe, wert
brought up, charged with stealing eight bags of charcoal and eight
bags of charcoal dust, value 11. 75., the property of Messrs. Nyrea
and Pritchard, manufacturing chemists,
Mr. G. Barry—ls a clerk in prosecutor's office. Saw the two
Bowes, father and son, come into the yard with a cart; Taylor
tollowed soon alter. John Rowe came afterwards to the office for
a note of delivery for eleven bags of charcoal, and four bags of
charcoal dust, and paid 11. 1 Is. Bd., the value of the quantity
stated. Mr. Nyren remarked to me, as the cart passed out loaded
on the unusually large appearance of the load. It is a rule in
our yard, that nocharcoal or dust shall be brought into the yard by
any wishing to purchase charcoal. The cart was not examined
till it had gone as far as the White Horse on the London-road,
about a quarter of a mile from the yard. There might be twenty
or thirty men in the yard at the time the cart was loading.
Murphy is the man who delivers the charcoal. The note of de-
livery is usually given after the cart is loaded, and Murphy of course
is bound to allow nu more to leave the yard than the quantity
mentioned.

air. Nyren and his partner are manufacturing chzmists. No-
ticed the cart, and suspected, from the appearance, there must be
a greater quantity than that on the delivery note, fifteen bags.
Remarked this to the clerk. The cart was then passing out at the
gate. He immediately passed out of the office and followed the
cart near to Bow-bridge. Never lost sight of it except in turning
street corners. Saw the cart after this at the White Horse, where
he had it stopped, and brought back to the yard in the keeping of
two constables. Came back to the yard for the constables. There
was no difference in the appearance of the cart, AS he saw it go out,
when it came again into the yard.
Timothy Drew—ls a police constable. Took John Rowe into
custody. Smith, the parish constable, took Taylor into custody,
and also brought the cart along to the chemist's yard. Examined
the cart in the yard, and counted 19 bags of charcoal. The dust
was in the body of the cart loose; both were measured, and turned
out 19 bags of charcoal and 9i bags of dust.
Murphy (who was at first committed as in the offence,) knows
the prisoners. All the three were in the habit of coining often to
the yard together. On the 17th September they came with a cart.
The two Rowes loaded the cart. Taylor was present. Young
Rowe went for the note of delivery. I saw the note; it was for
15 bags. Ido not know how there were more bags on the cart.
There must have been more. I mean by them father and son.
Taylor helped me to fill the bags. When they came into the
yard the father said be wished 10 or 12 bags of coal—the son five
or six bags of dust. The father gave me 2s. for more measure.
The son, when he returned from the office, gave me 4s. for the
the same purpose. I measured 12 bags of coal and six of dust. I
measured it when brought back again, and found 19 bags of coal
and 14- bags of dust.
the jury found the prisoners Guilty.—Sentence deferred till
Saturday.

PRESENT TO HER MAJESTY.—The Bombay, Cap-
tain Purley (Hon. East India Company's service), an East
India trader, and one of the largest now afloat, being 1,400
tons burthen, arrived off Blackwall on Thursday last, and
now lies in the river, waiting for a spring tide to carry her
into dock, where the depth is not at present more than 22 ft.,
the Bombay now drawing 24 ft water. She is the ifroperty.
of Sir John Yirie and Co., and has made a remarkably quick
passage, having come from Bombay in little more than 14
weeks, and the whole time occupied in her outward and
homeward voyages, including that of receiving the freight,
has not been more than ten months. She has brought a
most splendid cargo, of the estimated value of 250,0001., in-
cluding four beautiful symmetrically-formed, Arabian, entire
horses, of a fine grey colour, and which, together with
their housing, of au extraordinary unique and gorgeous de-
scription (valued at 1,0001. per horse), are forwarded as a
present to her Majesty by that celebrated Parsee merchant
Sir Jamsetjee Jejeehoy. They were brought over in the
most excellent condition, chiefly through the unremitting
care of Mr. Bandon, riding-master, of the Royal Bombay
Artillery. They were debarked on Saturday, and transmit-
ted to her Majesty's stables, and in the transit thither
through the streets of the metropolis excited the most mark-
ed attention and general admiration of the public. The
cargo on board the Bombay consists of a large quantity of
cotton, and an immense and unrivalled collection of magnifi-
cent shawls and silks, in every diversity of colour and pat-
tern, the whole of which is chiefly the importation and pro-
perty of Sir Jamesetjee Jejeehoy, who was knighted, for his
aid to the British Government, and has attainted the highest
point of general estimation in the eastern world, by his truly
amiable manners, his philanthropy in founding hospitals and
other charities in his own states, and promoting the com-
merce, arts, and sciences, and in every respect the general
welfare of his caste and country.
FROM CAPE HAYTIEN.—By the brig Eolus, Capt.
Hillier, fifteen days from Cape Haytien, we learn that the
Haytieus had taken the pilot boat Virginia, formerly
of Hampton, Virg., but at the time of her capture she was
under the Dominican flag; at the same time they burnt
another schooner, both being in the harbour of Santiago.
The schooner Commodore Warrington, of Philadelphia, was
recently bought at the Cape by the Haytien Government, to
be added to their naval force. The account of the battle
between the Haytiens and Dominicans at Matayaga is con-
firmed, but the loss on the part of the Haytiens is said to be
trivial—only two pieces of light artillery and a few prisoners,
taken from a small skirmishing party.—New York Journal of
Commerce.

ADMISSION OF FOREIGN CORN, DUTY-FREE.-It
will be seen on reference to our Intelligence from Ireland, that our
correspondent communicates the important fact, that a Treasury
order had been received at the Dublin Custom.house, " for the
admission of foreign corn duty-free on and after the Ist proximo."
If this be the case, the Anti. Corn.law League may be considered
as having little more to do than to quit the stage, close their
bazaars, and sett►e their accounts.—Advertiser.

BITING OFF A WOMAN'S FiNGER.--Arthur M'Gill,
a private in the 65th regiment, and servant in the employ of Captain
Black, paymaster of that corps, was brought before the county ma.
gistrates at Rochester, on Monday, charged with assaulting and biting
Harriet Scartifield, the wife of a fisherman residing at Chatham.
She stated that as she was passing through Watts-place, having a
child in her arms, she saw the prisoner lying on the pavement with
his hands bound, which some men had been compelled to do in con-
sequence of his riotous conduct. He bit her foot, and then jumping
up he knocked down the constable and others who were attempting
to secure him, and then also knocked her down, and seizing her hand,
thrust. it into his mouth, and bit off the top of her forefinger, which
lie took cut of his mouth and threw at her. Her medical attendant
had told her that he fears she must undergo amputation. Captain
Black, who was present during the investigation, described M`Gill as
one of the mildest (Amen, except when he had been drinking. He
said lie had, when at Dublin about four months since, thrown him-
self into the Liffey, and, being a Catholic, had been to his priest, and
promised not to drink again. lie was fined 5i., which his master
paid for him ; and the magistrate ordered two sovereigns to be given
to the poor woman Scartifield.

.TILE QUEEN V. CLINTON.—At judges' chambers
on Monday, Mr. Justice Platt, having gone over the facts of this
case, said that it appeared to him very doubtful whether under the
treaty a merchant committing forgery of a bill of exchange in the
United States with the intention of providing for it at maturity,
and coming over here animo revertendi, and, therefore, not a fugi.
tive from justice, could be taken and given up to the American
government. •` Being fugitive," meant being so at the time when
the law was to be put in force. If so, then it would appeared
that the word " committed" meant committed after the treaty.
It seemed to him, therefore, that he could only order that
this man be discharged.—The prisoner- was accordingly die-
charged.
