THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAi MORNING, SEPTEMBER 22, 1842.

Alderman WiLso,—Well, prisoner, how can you
reemcile these things ?—The prisoner said the fact
was the good:; were not sold yet, but as he appre-
hended, the prosecutor would take them away from
him, and thus deprive him of his commission upon the
sale, on account of the delay, he pretended they were
actually disposed of.
Alderman WILSON-1 great many deceptive false-
hoods were told by you in this business, and if your
intentions were honest, they had not the appearance
of honesty.

Alderman WILSON —I think not indeed; and you
had batter send after his partner, and send a search
warrant to the house in which he says the goods are
deposited.
The warrants were then taken out, and the prisoner
was remanded.

GUILDHALL.
Frederick Harks was charged with violently as-
saulting Samuel Howe, a Metropolitan policeman,
and C. ilfarkv with attempting a rescue.
Samuel Howe stated that he was on duty in Gos-
well-street between twelve and one o'clock this morn-
ing, and he saw the prisoner making a noise, in com-
pany with a number of girls. He ordered them to
go away, and after a' great deal of abuse they
went on, but still making a noise. Witness fol-
lowed them till they got into Aldersgate-street,
and then they made a still greater disturbance.
He came up to them, and he was immediately knocked
down by the prisoner, Frederick Marks, who com-
menced kicking and biting him, whereby his finger
was broken. Another policeman came up, and with
his assistance' the prisoner was taken into custody,
when the other prisoner attempted to rescue him.
He knocked down the other policeman, and both pri-
soners would have escaped if it had not been for a
gentleman who was passing at the time.
.The prisoners said in their defence, that they were
assaulted by the police-officers.
Mr. Alderman KELLY said he did not believe the
Officers had exceeded their duty, and as it was the
metropolitan police, he would give the prisoner an op-
portunity of compensating the officers, and if they
could not arrange matters he must send the case to the
sessions.
The parties arranged the matter, as they did not
return into Court.

130 W-STREET.
A reapect'able-looking man, named Dowling, who
was lately employed as collector to the Weekly
Chronicle- newspaper, was placed at the bar, before
Mr. Twyford, charged with feloniously embezzling
various sums of money, which he- had received on
account of the proprietors of that paper.
Mr. Hatton attended for the prosecution, and Mr.
Pentlow, from Mr. Flower's, attended for the prisoner.
The first witness called, was John West, the
optician, of Fleet-street, who proved paying to the
prisoner 1/. 4s. on the 7th October, 1841, on account
of the Weekly Chronicle.
John Philip Crantz, the publisher (,f the Weekly
Chronicle, deposed that it was the prisoner's duty to
hand over all monies which he received on account of
the paper to him (witness). The prisoner had never
paid over the 1/. 4s. received from Mr. West. 'Witness
also proved the signature to the receipt for the money
to 1):: in the prisoner's hand-writing.
The next case was that of embezzling 11.105., being
part ofan account of 6/. 10s. paid to the prisoner by
Mr. John Simmonds, straw-hat manufacturer, on the
6th July, 1840.
Mr. Simmonds proved the payment of the Cl. 10s.,
and Mr. Crantz proved that the prisoner had also
paid him 51. Ile also produced a ledger, in which 51.
only was entered as having been received.
Mr. Hatton then applied to have the prisoner re-
manded, as he feared there were other and moreserious
cases against him.
Mr. Penthern applied to have him admitted to bail
on tha ground of ill health.
Mr. Hatton said he had no objection to bail being
received. There was no vindictive feeling against
the prisoner on the part of the prosecution ; they
only wished to show to their extensive establishment
that no one could be allowed to do any thing wrong
with impunity.
The prisoner was then ordered to find bail in two
sureties of 401. each, for his appearance this day week.
CLERKENWELL.
Mary Cleal, a cook in the employment of John
Walton, Esq., Barnsbury-square, Islington, was
charged on suspicion of robbing her master of 571.,
and stealing Si., his property.
Mr. Walton, it appears, left 1051. in a deed-box
about two months ago, which he locked, and placed
under the sofa in his front parlour. On Tuesday
morning last he counted it, and found it deficient 571.
By the advice of Inspector Thatcher he marked a
large number of the sovereigns privately on the same
night, put in the same place, and retired to rest. The
next morning he found the box exactly where he
placed it, and locked and fastened as he had left it.
He opened it, however, and found that five sovereigns
more had been abstracted. The Police Inspector was
sent for, and he found the five sovereigns in the pri-
soner's drawer, marked. She confessed the robbery,
and was taken to the station-house.
She w: s remanded till Wednesday next, that her
accomplices may be apprehended.
A swindler, who passed by the names of Byrne,
Williams, and Thomas, at different times, was charged
with robbing his master, Mr. Martin, oilman and
chandler, Cow Cross-street, of 111., 21., 41., and
various other sums of money, and with obtaining
goods on false pretences.
The prisoner admitted the embezzlements, and was
committed for trial.
Tirm. Thomas, who was charged with the man-
slaughter of Joseph Ellis, by driving an omnibus over
him, was this day discharged, Mr. Combe considering
the evidence of too conflicting a nature to warrant
him in sanding the case for trial.
MARYLEBONE.
Barnard Garvin was brought up before Mr. Raw-
linson, charged with beating and starving his daughter,
_a child seven or eight years old.
A witness stated that the child was literally starved,
and were it not that the people about gave her bread
and broken victuals, she would have been dead ere now.
The child was placed before Mr. Rawlinson, and
appeared quite famished, and full of disease.
The prisoner stated that he had six children at
home, and could not afford to give them all bread.
He had been refused parochial relief.
Mr. Rawf.lNsos ordered the case to lie over for
full investigation by the authorities of St. Pancras.
QUEEN-SQUARE.
James Kick was brought up for re-examination
upon a charge of violently assaulting Mary Kick, his
wife, and thereby causing her death.
It appeared the prisoner and his wife had a quarrel
in their room, to which no one had access at the time,
and the deceased received such violence as to cause
her to bleed dreadfully at the time, and afterwards to
apply at the station-house for redress. The husband
(the prisoner) was apprehended and brought to the
station-house ; the deceased was following, when she
ipped, fell, and suddenly expired, as it was then in
ferred, from the effects of the injuries she had re-
ceived from the prisoner. 'When before the Magis-
trate last Thursday, the prisoner said that he and his
wife had been drinking for many hours together; that
at tea his wife suddenly got up, seized a knife, and
attempted to stab the prisoner, when he knocked her
down; and that was the only violence he was guilty
of. A coroner's jury afterwards returned an open
verdict.

Yesterday, Mr. James, the house-surgeon of West-
minster Hospital, after giving his evidence, said, that
if he was to give ao opinion as to the cause of death
he should be more inclined to state that the deceased's
death was attributable more to intoxication and ulti-
mate excitement than violence. The appearances at
the post mortem examination justified such an pinion.
Mr. BURRELL, after examining several witnesses,
decided that there was no hope of even a charge of
manslaughter holding good against the prisoner, and
discharged him.
WORSHIP-STREET.
A tall muscular man, named George Torbeman, a
pauper of Bethnal Green, was placed at the bar before
Mr. Broug'-iton, eNargel with having assaulted and
wounded an old man, named James Elmsley, and also
with having committed violent assaults upon several
policemen.

I It an )eared from the evidence of the complainant
Elmsley, that he was formerly a weaver, but owing
to distress, he had been compelled to become an in-
mate of Bethnal Green workhouse. A trifling sum of
money having been presented to him by a relation on
the preceding day, he obtained leave of absence for the
afternoon, and good-naturedly invited the prisonef to
participate in his enjoyments. After drinking for
some time at his expense in a public .house, the pri-
soner began to abuse some strangers who were in the
room, and on being remonstrated with by witness, he
snatched up a quart pot, and struck him several vio-
lent blows on the • head. His head and face were '
covered with blood, proceeding from the wounds
which the prisoner inflicted, and whilst he was endea-
vouring to retreat, the prisoner struck him another
blow with the pot, which laid him prostrate. A rush
was then made upon the prisoner by the rest of the
company, who dragged him into the street, and wit-
ness was eonv.-!yed to a surgeon, where his wounds
were dressed.
Sergeant ALle:man H 7 statedt that on heArilv uli

The prisoner asked a great number of questions of
the prosecutor, but the answer to all of them confirmed
the belief in the scandalous nature of the transaction.
Mr. Clarkson said his client would be satisfied if
his goods were given up to him.
The prisoner—I am ready to give them up.
Mr. Alderman WiLsoN—Where are they ? The
prisoner—They are in Bridge-street, Lambeth.
Alderman WILSON—At your disposal ? The pri-
soner—Certainly.
Mr. Clarkson—He knew very well that if he had
given them up he would not have been brought here
in custody, and we do not think his word is at all to be
relied on.
