BRODERIP—My sentence was without hard labour.  Mr. Williams—lt was, Sir; I heard you pro nounee it.  Mr. Leadley was positive the sentence included hard labour, and after some conversation with Mr. Broderip in an under tone, retired with him to the magistrate's private room, and no more was said on the subject except by Mr. Williams, who positively asserted the form of conviction was wrong. In the afternoon the prisoner was brought up before the magistrate, and having perfected the requisite sureties was set at liberty.  lIMONJIALL. A respectable-looking elderly female, named Caroline Powell, was placed at the bar, charged with attempting to cut her husband's throat with a tableknife.  Complainant, a diminutive sort of a personage, informed the magistrate he was living on a private income, at 14, Bowling-green-lane, Kennington. The prisoner had been married to him fourteen years, and within these last four months had been in the habit of coming home at various hours of the night in a state of intoxicate n, and not only breaking everything she could lay her Wnds on, but threatening his and the children's lives. On the previous night she came home in a state of intoxication, and began to abuse him. She also said she was determined to have his life that night ; at the same time she pulled a tableknife from under her shawl, and made an attempt to cut his throat. In warding off the knife he received a cut across his right hand. He then succeeded in reaching the door, when he called police; fortunately a constable was passing at the time, or she would have murdered him.  Police-constable 82 L stated that he found the prisoner very much excited. She was flourishing a knife, and exclaimed that she would cut her husband's throat and murder his children. He took the knife from her and conveyed her to the station-house. In answer to the charge the prisoner said that her husband received upwards of 1,0001. from her when they were married, which he said he intended to embark in his own business, that of a watchmaker; instead of which he had done nothing but spend her money in keeping his children in affluence. His family turned her out about two years ago, because she would not give them any more money. She had been so cruelly treated by them that she certainly did threaten to murder them. Mr. COTTINGIIAM asked the husband whether it was true that he had received that money from her ? —He replied that he had, but she might live comrortable at home if she pleased. Mr. COTTINGHAM said that very likely some portion of her story was true ; he should, therefore, order her to find bail for her future good conduct for twelve months.  Julia Murphy, a cook in the service of . a lady named Bonner, in Canterbury-place, Lambeth, was charged with robbing her mistress of a gold chain, satin dress, and several other articles.  From the complainant's statement it appeared that the prisoner had been in her service for some time, and that on Monday she left without giving any notice of her intention. The same afternoon it was discovered that a chest of drawers had been forced open, out of which a gold neck-chain, a satin dress, and other articles were stolen. Suspicion having been excited against the prisoner, she was traced to a lodging house in the New-cut, , and had just entered the house from the theatre, dressed out in splendid style, and on being questioned as to the cause of her leaving her situation so abruptly, she gave an evasive answer. None of the stolen property was found, which is supposed to be pawned; and with a view of discovery, she was remanded
