HAMMERSMITH.

A young man, named James Hogan, his wife, Ann
Hogan, and a lad named William Barnes, were charged
with having by violence caused the death of Edmund
Connell.

Police-sergeant Clark, T 13. deposed that on the pre-
vious evening he apprehended the three prisoners at their
residences, in Fenning's-buildings, High-street, Kensing-
ton, on a charge of assaulting and beating a man named
Edmund Connell, on the 2d of November last, from the
effects of which death had since ensued. Witness was
present on the 21st of November, at Connell's residence,
when his deposition was taken, and beard him say that
the three prisoners were the persons who inflicted the
injuries, from the effects of which Connell died on the
evening of Tuesday last. The prisoners had been in
custody before on the same charge, and were several
times remanded, but at their last examination there being
no anticipation of the speedy dissolution of Connell, they
re liberated on their own recognisances.
Julia Connell deposed that she was widow of the de-
ceased Edward Connell. She was with her husband on
Sunday, the 2i of November last, at the Coach and
Horses public-house, High-street, Kensington. There
was a raffle or gathering for a poor man that evening.
Her husband called for a pot of beer, which he paid for,
and several others persons called and paid for beer.
When her husband drank out of the pot of beer, the
prisoner James Hogan, who, with his wife and the pri-
soner Barry, was there, told her husband to let the beer
alone. Her husband refused to do so, a quarrel ensued,
and Hogan kicked witness violently in the side. The
temale prisoner then came to her husband's assistance,
and when witness recovered herself she saw her husband
lying on the ground, and all the three prisoners beating
him. Mrs. Hogan was lying on him, and had hold of
Mtn by the eyebrows with bur teeth.

Mr: CUTE then remanded the prisoners to Monday
next.

WANDS WORTH.

James Harris, an excavator, was charged with obtain-
ing a pair of spikes under false pretences, from Richard
Callender, a blacksmith, on the plain, Wandsworth.
It appeared that the complainant had made several
pairs of spikes (used by excavators to secure a footing
whilst wheeling barrows up an inclined plank), for men
employed on the Richmond Railway works, and the pri-
soner was one of the number. As these men are proverbially
forgetful of payment, the complainant would not dispose
of his wares without the money. The prisoner took ad-
vantage of his absence from home, and asked the son, a
shrewd lad, for a pair of spikes, for which he had paid
his father on the previous Saturday. The lad told the
prisoner that if he was telling a lie he should know him
again, and let him have theta. The complainant sub
sequently ascertaining that his lad had been imposed
upon, went in search of the prisoner, up and down the
Richmond Railway works, and at last found him at the
Crane. He then had the spikes in his possession, and
swore be had had them a fortnight and paid the com-
plainant for them. Complainant told him that the
spikes were not hit, that he had obtained them by fraud,
chToiheee
porfispoanyeirn for them or being
paying
in stating
givenP. tivnet o him
ums t ohdi ys .
that they were his own property, and was accordingly
charged.
Mr. CLIVE asked the prisoner what his answer to the
charge was ?
The prisoner said that he had had the spikes a fort-
night, and had paid fur them, and said he had a witness
to prove that fact.
Another excavator was called as a witness, but
possessing a little more honesty than his friend (the
prisoner), he declined to speak positively as to the time
the prisoner had been in possession of the spikes.
Mr. CLIVE observed that he should send the case for
trial ; the prisoner, he must say, had made the most im-
pudent defence he had ever heard.
The complainant said he did not wish the man to un-
dergo further punishment ; he should be satisfied with the
restoration of his goods, and some compensation for the
trouble he had been put to.
Mr. CLIVE permitted the parties to retire, and the pri-
soner was afterwards discharged.
Mary Flemming, a woman of abandoned habits, was
reexamined upon a charge of stealing a pound of fresh
butter from the larder of the Rose and Crown lan, Wim-
bledon. _ _

The charge was established, and the prisoner was
committed for a month, with hard labour.

THAMES.

Mr. Foster, the master of a vessel called the Hope-
well, was charged with breaking bulk of a cargo of coals
before the dues were paid, by which be had incurred a
penalty of 25/.
Mr. Pelham appeared for the defendant, who did not
attend.

The real question in dispute was whether coals
brought from the North to London, and not intended to
be used as fuel, were liable to the City dues of 13d. per
ton. The Hopewell discharged a cargo of 413 tons of
coals, not brought direct from the pit, for the purpose of
being consumed as fuel, but which were brought from a
tram-road, laid down many years ago, and recently
broken up. The coals had been subjected to the action
of the atmosphere for thirty-three years, and when the
tram-road was broken up, the coals which composed it
were shipped for London, and consigned to Mr. Heron,
a brickmaker, at Uxbridge, to be used in the manufac-
ture of bricks ; and it was admitted that before he could
do so he crushed the coals, which had lost many of their
qualities, in a machine. There was no intention to evade
the duty, and Mr. Heron said, if the magistrate decided
that a duty was payable on coals exported from the
North for the purposes of brickmaking, he would not
attempt to resist the payment of the duty on other
cargoes.
Mr. BRODERIP decided that sea-borne coals, for what-
ever purpose they were exported from the North to
London, were liable to the duty, and inflicted a nominal
penalty of 205., at the same time expressing an opinion
that Mr. Heron was quite right in raising
the question,
The fine was paid, and Mr. Heron said he would pay
the City dues on other cargoes of the stuff consigned to
him.

Earl Delawarr, who has been slightly indisposed
during the last few days in tipper Grosvenor-street, is con-
valescent, and yesterday left town, accompanied by the
Countess and family, for Buckhurst-park, Sussex, for the
holidays.

OUTRAGE AND ATTEMPT TO MURDER AT BUL-
max.—A most daring outrage was committed on Friday
last, about half-past one A.m., at the house of 111 r. F. Stevens,
a farmer, at Bulphan Fen, in this county. Three men,
ma,ked, made a forcible entry, by breaking through a lath
and plaster end of the building; and Mr. Stevens hearing
them below, took the novel course of jumping out of the
window, \Olen two of the villains attacked him, and one of
them discharged a pistol at him, but happily missed his per-
son. Mr. Stevens escaping from them ran towards a cottage,
when a second shot was tired at him, but fortunately
without injuring him. The fellows then made off,
taking with them a double-barrel gun, the only thing missing.
Information having been given to the police, an active
search was instituted in the neighbourhood, which resulted
in the apprehension of a man named Freeman, residing at
Iforndon, on suspicion of being one of the parties implicated
in the outrage; Inspector Smith, who immediately went to
London, succeeded, on Sunday evening, in taking into cus-
tody, in Ratcliffe-highway, another party, named James
Scoble, who, from the description given, is strongly suspected
to be the man who fired the pistol at Mr. Stevens. The
prisoners have been removed to Brentwood to await, their
examination before the magistrates acting for that division.
