HIGHWAY ROBBERY.— William Southall, aced 18, James
Taylor, alias Sims, aged 28, and Thomas Southall, aged 24,
were charged with having, at Kirk Langley, assaulted one
Isaac Selby, and stolen one JO!. and three bl. Bank of England
notes, 10s. in silver, and a promissory note for 301., and other
articles, his property.
Southall pleaded guilty.
Mr. Willmore conducted the prosecution.
The prisoners were undefended.

Isaac Se!by deposed that, on the 2d of July he was on his
way home to Dolbury Lees, from Derby, in a pony gig, having
his sister. in-law, Ann Bennett, with him. When he arrived
at Kirk Langley, be saw five men, one of whom ran up to and
1 aid hold of the pony's head. lie had a light coat on. Two
of the men had bludgeons, and coiled out to the prosecutor to
deliver his money, giving him many severe blows about the
head with their weapons, by which his hat was broken through
and his head much injured. Mrs. Bennett called out, " Don't
murder him, and you shall have all we have got." But ono of
them called out, and said, "D—n you, we will murder you."
They then proceeded to rifle Mr. Selby's pockets, from which
they extracted the valuable property mentioned in the indict-
ment. The reins were then cut, and the men proceeded to
beat the pony, who started off, and ran until he came to the
next hill. Sims was identified as the person who laid hold of
the reins of the pony.
The prisoners were recognised by several witnesses as being
seen going in the direction of the place where the robbe. took
place. On the followin day Sims changed a Bank of Eng-
g
having purchased a black coat and
land 51. note in Barton,
douh'e-hrea'ted waistcoat. Oa going into the shop he wore a
white blouse.
Two witnesses of the nurse of Brough end Blunt were called,
and not appearing, their recognisances were ordered to be es-
treated. Benre the trial concluded they made their appear-
ance, were examined, and the entreat taken off, but their ex-
penses were ordered not to lie paid.
The jury found the prisoners Guilty.
There was a second indictment for robbery with violence,
which was arranged to be taken on the following morning.
July 31.
On the Nisi Prins side the two special jury cases were dis-
posed of. One was an action between two attorneys for a libel,
The object being vindication of character, a verdict was taken
u
y consent for the plaintiff for 40e. and costs. The other was a
question of right of road.

NORTHERN CIRCO IT.-I\7ewcastle-on-Tyne,
July 30.
Mr. Baron Rolfe entered this town from Durham early in
the afternoon of to-day (Wednesday), and proceeded to open
the commission. His Lordship then charged the town grand
jury, and some bills having been soon found, two charges, nei-
ther of which were of any public Moment; were disposed of.
Mr. Justice Cresswell arrived from Durham at aboUt four
o'clock, having leinained during the morning at that place to
try the last causes on the list. The business on the Crewn

side had been finished with the trial of Genie yesterday
evening.

SOUTH WALES CIRCUIT.—Brecon, July 30.
The Court of Assize for the county of Brecon was opened
last evening by the Learned Gentleman associated with Mr.
Justice Coltman in the several commissions of assize on this
circuit, Mr. Sergeant Jones. The Learned Judge arrived in
the course of the evening from Cardigan, and his Lordship this
morning attended Divine service in St. Mary's Church, and
shortly afterwards proceeded to the Town-hall.
Legal business has a rather unpropitious aspect, at least for
the junior members of the bar. There are only two prisoners
in the calendar ; of nisi Arius business there are six causes,
including two special juries—namely, Davies v. Parry an
Phillips, Knt., v. Pryce.
When it is recollected that much time is taken up on the
Welsh Circuits in the examination of witnesses by means of
interpreters, and that some of the witnesses do not always
evince the readiest perception in examination in chief, or catch
the drift of occasional cross-fire from an antagonist counsel,
it may safely be said that the Court will be occupied up to the
litter end of the week.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANYLEBOA E.

On Thursday, Mr. William Cole, collector fir the Lambeth
Waterworks Company, and who resides at No. 8, 0.(1 Dorset-
place, Clapham-road, attended at this Court to prefer a charge
of assault against Eliza Cole, an interesting-looking woman,
his wife ; and it will be seen from the subjoined evidence that
many facts of a somewhat singular and unpleasant nature were
elicited.

Mr. Humphreys appeared for the defendant.
Complainant, who took from his pocket a large bundle of
papers, which evidently related to law matters, deposed, that
on Ft iday last, as he was walking along the New-road, de-
fendant crossed over from the opposite side, near Quebec-street,
and abused him in the most shameful manner ; she also struck
him on the face, at the same time sa)ing, " D— your eyes,
take that." She had frequently abused him and his relations
before, and an action was now about to come on for hearing at
Croydon, at the suit of a person who claimed a certain amount
for her (defendant's) board, &c., but his answer to that would
be, that she had been guilty of adultery, and it would soon be
shown whether she was innocent or not.
Cross-examined by Mr. Humphreys—l have been separated
from defendant ever since she ran away from me, which was
in September, 1843. I allowed her at the rate of 401. per
year up to the 6th of December last. I never authorised my
wife to borrow money for me.
Mr. Humphreys here handed in a letter addressed to the de-
fendant, and signed " William Cole." It was dated May 11,
1844. The said letter, which was read, contained a request
that his (complainant's) wife would endeavour to get some one
to lend him 401. for two or three months, for which he ..would
pay liberal interest. It further set forth that he was 17/. short
in his accounts.

Mr. Humphreys (to complainant)—ls this letter (showing
to him) in your handwriting? Complainant (after some

little hesitation)—lt is.
Mr. Humphreys—Then how could you have the assurance to
swear just now that you never gave your wife authority to ob-
tain money for you? Complainant (rather confused)—l bad
no recollection of it when you spoke to me.
Mr. Humphreys—Did you not, in consequence of the letter
you wrote, receive 201. from your wife? Complainant —I did,
and she told me it was her own.

.-......- _
Mr. Humphreys—Do you know Mr. Dainty? Complainant
—I know a Mr. T. Dainty, but have never seen him above
twine in my life.
Mr. Humphreys—Upon your oath, are you not aware that
the 201. was borrowed of him ? Complainant—l'd rather de-
cline answering that question ; it will be a subject for investi-
gation in another quarter.
Mr. Humphreys produced a bill drawn by Mr. Thomas
Dainty on complainant for the sum alluded to, and he ( the com-
plainant) acknowledged that the acceptance to the same was his.
In answer to other questions from Mr. Humphreys, com-
plainant said, " I discontinued the allowance to my wife on the
6th of December last ; when I met her on Friday, the 25th
instant, she did not, to the best of my recollection, ask me for
money ; I'll swear I (lid net say to her • D— your eyes, no, not
a penny shall you have, and if you follow me, I'll give you into
custody.' I accused her of having committed adultery, when
she struck me and said • D-- your eyes, take that.' It's very
likely she might have told me I was a villain. I did not collar
her, tear her veil, and pull-the scarf from her shoulders, but I
did lay hold of her after she struck me. I was married to her
in 1840. I shall not answer you as to whether she had a quan-
tity of furniture of her own or not at the period of our union."
John Gray said that he saw complainant laying hold of the
shawl of defendant, who then struck him (complanant) and
ca'led him a thief.

For the defence, Mr. Humphreys called
Frederick Rivers, 1, John-street, New-road, who stated that
while talking to a customer at his own door he saw the parties
struggling together. Complainant seized hold of defendant
by the right shoulder with considerable violence, but witness
did not see any blow struck by either ; he at first thought that
complainant had got hold of his wife by the throat, and he
(witness) heard him make a remark to the effect that he would

fix her.
Another witness, named Caroline Hatton, servant to Mr.
Hodges, Royal Oak, Circus-street, said that she saw com-
plainant reize his wife very roughly; she got away from him
and ran into a house, when he pursued her as far as the door,
and threatened that he would punish her.
Mr. LONG dismissed the warrant, and the parties then quit-
ted the court.

Mr. Cole seemed to be under much excitement during the
proceedings. and took copious notes of the evidence given in
the case. Mrs. Cole had several respectable friends with her,
and they seemed fully determined upon supporting her to the
utmost with regard to her claim for maintenance, and in de-
fence of the threatened allegation of adultery.
WORSHIP-STREET. •

A SERVANT WITHOUT A CHARM:TER.—OH Thursday Ann
Williams mai placed at the bar, before Mr. Broughton, the
sitting magistrate, upon a t:harge of robbing her master, Mr.
Edward Green, a comedian, and Charlotte Augusta Letten
was charged as particeps critainis. Both of them appeared
about 16 or 17 years of age.
Mrs. Sarah Green stated that on Saturday week she took
Williams (ihe prisoner) into her serviee without a character,
a• she appeared very much digressed. On Monday night last,
the witness went to the Albert Salo,,n, to accompany her

husband home after the performance, but on her return home,
shortly before twelve, she was alarmed to find that the new
servant, whom she had left to take care of the children, had
left the house. Upon examination, she discovered that her
drawers had been ransacked, and robbed of a cloak, a shawl,
three silk and other dresses, and various other things, besides
six frocks and nearly all the rest of her children's apparel.
Police-constable Smith, of the N division, said that about
three o'clock yesterday morning, he found the two prisoners
tcgether at a coffee-shop in Old-street, dressed in a part of the
stolen apparel, and one of them wearing the cloak, and the
other the shawl. Williams at first denied her name, but after-
wards begged he would intercede to prevent he: being trans-
ported. Duplicates were found upon them for various articles
pawned on T uesd ay.
Williams now said she admitted the charge, and she hoped
Mrs. Green would not have her sent out of the country. The
other prisoner said Williams had asked her to come and live
with her, and told her the apparel belonged to her sister.
They were committed.
WANDS WORTH.

CHARGE Or BlGAMY.—Thursday George Brett, a labour-
ing man about fifty years of age, was charged with marrying
Mary hlarkell, his first wife being still alive.
The complaint was made by the second wife, who cannot be
more than nineteen or twenty years of age: She stated that
she lived at Southville, Wandsworth-road, and obtained her
living by working at a laundress's. She was married to the
prisoner on the 6th of July, at the Baptist Chapel, Clapham-
common. She lad since ascertained that the pritoner was
already married, and had seen his first wife who lived in Port-
land-place South, Wandsworth-road.
Police-constab!e Bent produced the certificate of the mar-
riage, and stated that he had seen the first wife's certificate,
but she would not part with it. From that certificate it ap-
peared the prisoner was first married in 1814. When witness
took the prisoner into custody he said it was a bid job, and he
must suter for it. The girl had threatened to drown herself
if he did not marry her, and he was compelled to do so.
The prisune: was remanded until Monday next.
THAMES POLICE.

ILLICIT DISTILLATION.—On Thursday Jacob Airell, aged
50, John Jones, 47, and James Wilkinson, 20, were brought
before Mr. Ballantine, charged with working a private still in
an unentered place, at No. 18, James-street, Limehouse-fields,
where the elder prisoner has, for the last twenty-eight months,
professed to carry on the business of a scum-boiler.
On Wednesday night, about twelve o'clock, two Custom-
house officers, named George and Deane, accompanied by Day-
and Beere, constables of the K divisip, went to the house
occupied by Atrell, which is detached from the main road, and
surrounded by a fence, while George and Deere were posted
at the back of the premises to prevent a retreat in that
direction. Dean and Day went to the front door and
knocked. A female voice from within asked them who they
wanted, and Dean replied that he had a message for Mr.
Jones. The door was immediately opened, and the officers
entered. They were armed with pistols, as a desperate re-
sistance was expected, and the woman immediately raised
an alarm. The lights within were extinguished ; but the
officers passed through the house into a shed in the rear of
the premises, where they found a sixty gallon copper-still in
operation with a fire under it, and whisky running from the
worm. Jones and Wilkinson were both in the still. room. The
former was without his coat, and had his shirt sleeves tucked
up. The other was dressed and had his hat on. Directly af-
terwards George and Deere brought Atrell into the house.
They captured him as he was attempting to make his escape
ever a wall in the rear of the premises, and be pretended to be
very drunk. The place was found to contain all the materials
and plant for carrying on distillation on a very large scale, in-
cluding 1. ur eighty gallon tubs of molasses in a state of fer-
mentatien, fourteen tubs of a similar description, which had
contained molasses and had been worked off, and live jars con-
taining 14 gallons of very clean everproof spirits.
Atrell admitted he was the proprietor of the place, and that
the things belonged to him. The woman proved to be his wife,
and she was not molested.
Jones said he was out of employ when Atrell engaged him,
and he was glad to obtain work anywhere. W iikinson stoutly
denied having been concerned in the illicit distillation. His
sister was married to Jones, who lived on the premises; and
he went to the house to pay her a visit, and was about to leave
when the officers ..ntered and took him into custody.
The officer, on being questioned by the Magistrate, said they
were watching the premises for an hour and a half before they
entered and made the seizure, and that no one came in or out
during that time.
Mr. BALLANTINE said he had no doubt at all as regarded
Atrell and Jones, and as Wilkinson was on the premises he was
bound to convict him also ; but if he could make it appear to
the Board of Exc'se, by petition, that he was an innocent man,
and that he merely went to the house upon a visit to his sister,
mercy would be extended towards him. He then convicted
the prisoners, and sentenced them to pay a fine to the Queen of
30/. each, and in default committed them to the House of Cor-
rection for three months, there to be kept to hard labour.
It is an extraordinary fact, that six private stills have been
seized in the neighbourhood of Stepney during the last twelve
months, and in one case the illicit distillation was carried on so
extensively that the value of the implements and spirits seized
exceeded 3,000/.

WINDSOR, THURSDAY.—This morning, at an early
hour, a large number of sporting men assembled in the Great
Park, to witness a match between Mr. Lawrence's bay filly and
Mr. Webber's bay colt surprise, for 30/. The conditions of the
match were to walk a mile for 101., trot a mile for 101.,
and gallop a mile for 101. The walk came off first in
Queen Anne's ride—even betting, mare for choice. The cob
took the lead, kept it the whole of the distance, and won
cleverly; the mare broke and was pulled round twice. The
trotting match came off next-2 to lon the cob; both started off
well together, and there was no perceptible advantage on either
side for the first half mile. The cob afterwards broke twice, thus
allowing the mare to come in an easy winner. The galloping
match-3 and 4 to 1 on the mare; the cob made the running at
starting at a strong pace, which he kept up for three.quarters of a
mile, when he was challenged by the mare, but he defeated her
easily by a length. The horses were cleverly ridden by their owners
A GLUTTON.—Thursday a fellow named George
Sidler, a cabman, living at Mile-end, undertook for a wager of 20s.
to cat within the space of two hours a leg of mutton, weighing
91b., a peck of peas, and 51b. of potatoes, which he accomplished,
having twelve minutes to spare. During his meal he drank nearly
three quarts of beer, and at its conclusion declared he could have
managed a pound or two more within the Same time.
