HATTON-GARDEN.

Charles Stoney, alias Turner, a young man of very dandified ap-
pearance, was brought up on a charge of assault of an aggravated
description.
It appeared that the prisoner goes under the denomination of a
flash man, and about one o'clock yesterday morning he was walking
in the neighbourhood of Brunswick.square, accompanied by a
friend, with one of the frail sisterhood, well known by the appella.
tion of Nancy Jones. The party was overtaken by two Ladies,
named Eliza Davis and Caroline Stuart, who both went op to the
friend of Mr. Stoney, and Eliza Davis demanded payment of some
old favours, believing the stranger to be the brother of Turner.
Nancy Jones did not like this unseasonable interference, which
she construed into a piece of jealousy on the part of Davis, and a
wish to seduce one of her best customers. Acting upon this sup-
pcidtion, she assaulted Miss Davis with more fury than force, and
finding the battle turn against her, she called in the assistance of Mr.
Stoney, who promptly turned the tide of war by giving Miss Davis
three scientific smeller.. Elated with the smashing result of his
blows, he then said, " Ili give her a finish," and suiting the action
to the word, he caught her up in his arms to throw her over the iron
rails of one of the houses into the area, but, fortunately for her, the
furbelows and flounces seized held of the rails and saved her life.
She new exhibited the marks of violence inflicted on her person by
the rails and the prisoner.
The prisoner said, that he was a respectable man, and began to
excuse himself for the assault.

The Magistrate, however, ordered him to find bail, in default of
which he was committed to prison.
Read, jun. said, that the prisoner had been frequently up before,
and once by the parish for not supporting his family. His wife and
five children were now in the workhouse.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A German Jew, named iinbitais,was charged with with driving his
horse and gig over a woman named Cooper, and her child. On
Monday, the 27th September, Mrs. Cooper was crossing Broad.
street, Golden-square. with the child in her arms, when Kirkman,
who was driving at a furious rate, turned round front Berwick.
street, and drove over the female and child. Several persons de.
sled him to stop, but he continued his rapid driving until taken
into custody by some perms who witnessed the transaction. He
was ordered to find bail for his appearance at the Sessions.
Two young females (sisters) named MUM% were charged with
shorliftiog. Yesterday afternoon the prisoners went into Mr.
Rumbell's shop in Cratibourne-street, and after examining some
silk shawls under the pretence of purchasing them, they left a de-
posit of 2s. 6d. on one shawl which they promised to purchase.
The abortion thought be saw the fringe of a shawl under the cloak
of the youngest as she was leaving the shop, and on searching her
he found a shawl worth x/. 105. They were remanded.

UNION-HALL.
A respectable looking and elderly man named James Roughshod, a
confidential clerk in the employment of Messrs. Winter and Rich,
iron merchants, of Bankside, Southwark, was charged with having
embezzled sums of money to a large amount. From the statement of
one of the Gentlemen belonging to the circa, it appeared that the
prisoner had been in their employment for some length of time, and
was always, until latterly, considered a trustworthy and honest ser-
vant. On account of the rectitude of his conduct he was generally
engaged in collecting money ; but some deficiencies having recently
appeared in his accounts, inquiry was instituted in consequence, the
result of which was, that it was ascertained the prisoner bad re-
ceived various sums of money from persons indebted to the firm
none of which he accounted for to Messrs. Winter. It was also
ascertained that he bad been living for some length of time at a
most expensive rate—a rate which his salary was not at all in
proportion to meet. In fact, besides having a wife and five children
to support, he had also to maintain another establishment for a kept
mistress. The charge which on this occasion was brought before
the Magistrate, was for having embezzled £8 14s. and which being
clearly proved, he was fully committed for trial.
