Mr. Justice Moore here asked if the prisooeim tad any

asked a few questions of the witneik, which draw forth
the following replies :

potter; committed no escess whatever in drink; never
lost sight of the fellow min ii he logged him ie Marlbo-
rough S:reet Police Office; is certain the prisoner at
thi; bar is the man who committed the outrage.
John Darling was examined by Mr. Bethel.—He fully
corroborated Mr. Nap's testimony. He was one of the
three who was stopped by the seven fellows. He u.i.
netely described to the Court the Manner la which he
got one fellow's heal between his knees, Whilst he kept,
`• inalleting" him, at time same time suiting " the ac-
tion to the word," to the no small amusement of a
crowded Court. The prisoner was found guilty.
Judge Moore spoke in high terns 9f approbation of
the heroic intrepidity which marked the conduct of tits
prosecutors, to Whom, be said. the country was much
indebted. His Lordship said, that be thought those
persons who had the disposal of situations to the Policia
Department, would do well to reward diode men, by
gisiug them appointments to whith they would be so
well adapted, if they would be inclined to accept .of
them. His Lordship awarded twelve poonds..betweers
the three men, as compensation far their loss of time,
and regretted that the Court had bat a disfeetionary
power in those case', to compensate for loss of dine, and,
not to reward for services rendered..
Mr. Lowry, of Werborgh-street, tilts Is tviiattifti

COVENT-GARDEN T'EATItt.-.-The very powerful cast of
