CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

OLD COURT.
Ellen Thomas, described as a spinster, was indicted for
feloniously cutting anti wounding John Wilks,' with intent to, flo
him some grievous bodily harm.
Mr. Howarth defended the prisoner.
John Wilks, a little boy ten years old, stated that he live&
with his mother in Parker-street, Drury-lane, and the prisoner
lodged in the same house. On the 23d of April the prisoner
called him into her room, and sent him for some gin and solve
beer. She was at this time smoking a pipe, and was intoxi-
cated. When he returned she locked the door. and told him
to take off his handkerchief from his neck, and she called him
to her, and with a razor inflicted two severe wounds upon his
face and throat. The prisoner before this had been very kind
to him, and he had not aggravated her in aay manner.
The boy's mother stated that upon hearing an alarm she
went into the prisoner's room, and found her with her arra
round the boy, and in the act of nutting his throat.
The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty.
Baron ALDERSON then ordered the prisoner to be kept to
hard labour for three years.
1 he moment the sentence was pronounced, the prisoner be-
came very violent. She exclaimed—" I will kill myself, I will.
I won't be there a week." She was then removed from the
dock, and as she was going down the steps she screamed out—
" So help me good God, I'll kill myself—where there's a will
there's a way. I won't be there a week."

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
WORSHIP STREET.
Emma Buller, a respectable-looking married woman, was
finally examined upon a charge of having stolen nine sovereigns
the property of Mr. Wells, ,of Wellington-place, Stoke Neva
ington.
It appeared that the prisoner had been for a considerable
time past on terms of intimacy with the prosecutor and his
family, and was a frequent visitor at his house, where she al-
ways met with the most hospitable reception. On several oc-
casions, however, when the prisoner had been his guest, the
prosecutor missed different sums of money from a box which
he kept in a cupboard in the sitting-room, and in order is
arrive at the thief, he marked a number of sovereigns, which
he deposited in their usual receptacle. The prisoner took tea
with his wife on that evening, and before she went away the
prosecutor took an opportunity of examining the box, whets
he discovered that nine sovereigns had been abstracted. He
made no mention of the circumstance until the prisoner left the
house, accompanied by his wife, who offered to see her part of
the way home, when he followed them, and asked his wife if
she knew what had become of the money. She answered in
the negative, and the prisoner, in affected ignorance, inquired'
what money he alluded to, upon which the prosecutor directly'
charged her with the robbery, and having met a policeman, he
gave her into custody. The prisoner admitted her guilt to the
policeman, and the nine marked sovereigns were found upon
her at the station-house.
The prisoner (who declined saying anything) was committed
for trial.
