of Scilla to her Majesty's Plenipotentiary at this Court, stating,
in order that due precautions may be adopted for the safety of
ships and cargoes, as it is possible hostile measures may be
taken against the trade of this country by the Governments of
Holland and Belgium."

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

OLD COURT.

William Harris, 19, was indicted for a burglary and stealing
four silver spoons, six gold rings, five brooches, and 51. in gold
and silver money, the property of Jemima Jane Nicholls.
Mr. Lilley conducted the prosecution, and Mr Charnock ap-
peared for the prisoner.
It appeared in evidence that the prosecutor resides in Den-
mark-road, Camberwell, and on the 25th of April she went out,
leaving her house securely fastened. The prisoner, who had
been observed watching, about the premises, was shortly after-
wards seen to climb over the garden-gate, and go up to the
sfreet door, and open it with a key and go in. The neighbours
suspected that something was wrong, and an alarm was raised,
and the prisoner ran off, but he was pursued and taken, and
great part of the stolen property was found in his possession.
Verdict—Guilty. Sentence, ten years' transportation.
The RECORDER took his seat upon the bench at five o'clock,
and in the course of the evening the Grand Jury came into
Court with a number of bills, and among others they returned
a true bill against Daniel Good, for the murder of Jane Jones,
otherwise Good. And against Mary Good, as an accessary after
the fact. Both the indictments are very voluminous, and con-
tain no less than thirty-two counts. A true bill was also re-
turned against Daniel Good for felony, and against Mary Good
for. felony.. A bill was likewise returned against Richard
Gamble for felony, and against Thomas Cooper, for the murder
of the policeman Daley.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
CLERKEN WELL.
EXTRAORDINARY CASE.—In the afternoon of yesterday
Inspector Pritchard of the N division, assisted by two police-
men, brought before the Magistrates a very genteelly attired
young man, with a very melandoly expression of countenance
charged on suspicion of being concerned in the robberies which
have lately taken place on the Hornsey-road.
The Inspector proceeded to say, that he received the follow.
ing letter through the Post-office, which the prisoner acknow-
ledged to have been sent by him. It was addressed "To the
Inspector on duty in the Clerkenwell Police-station," was dated
May, 1842, and ran thus:—
" Silt,—Most likely my remains will be found near Hornsey
Wood. I have experienced so many difficulties and trials, that
I have no wish to live another day. I am the eldest of a
numerous and respectable family—the sooner I leave the world
the better. The gay will live on and continue to be gay, but
that is quite immaterial to me. I have been living on hope so
long that life is quite a burthen to me. My body may be given
to the hospital to defray. all the expense attending me. My
corpse will be found near Hornsey-wood.
" GEORGE HOPSON."
At half-past eight this morning, N 256, on passing through
Hornsey-wood, according to instruction, found the prisoner
sitting on the decayed trunk of a tree, with his head resting on
his knees. When the policeman first saw him, he thought he
was dying, and asked him had he taken poison ; he replied in the
negative, and was taken to the station-house.
A man who had been recently robbed of a watch on the
Hornsey-road came forward, but said the prisoner was not the
person who robbed him.
The Inspector stated there were two other persons who had
been robbed on the same road, and whose attendance he
would obtain.

Mr. COOMBE asked the prisoner several questions, but could
get no satisfactory answer. He said he had been three months
in London ; that he was the eldest of 14 children; that he had
been married, but his wife was now dead ; that his father lived
near Suffolk ; that he lodged lately in Prince's-street, Padding-
ton. He would not, however, give the number of his resi •
dente; and when questioned and threatened to be sent to pi-
son, said his name was Elmore, and that his family lived near
Norwich. He would not, however, tell his business in Lon-
eon, how he employed his time, or why he came here.
He was remanded until to-morrow.

On the 6th instant, as two men were sinking.a
well in a garden at Conflans-lea-Carrieres, the earth fell in
and buried them. Some soldiers from Chuenton were soon
on the spot, and, working with zealous humanity, in about four
hour hours the earth was cleared away. One of the men was
quit dead, but the other was restored to life.
