MARTIN.) Henry Gregory, 18, was indicted yesterday fir the manslaughter of Daniel Michael Isaac. Mr. Robinson was counsel for the prosecution. It appeared that on the 19th of August the prisoner and some other persons were playing skittles at tie George and Dragon public-house, Hoxton, and upm the prisoner refusing to pay for some beer that le had lost the potboy called him "a thief." The pr.soner then struck the potboy, and the deceased interfered, and offered to fight the prisoner, and their stripped and fought several rounds, and both of then frequently fell to the ground. The deceased, in the course of the struggle, became insensible, and diel almost immediately. The fight was represented to 1e a fair stand-up one, and it appeared that when the prisoner was informed that his opponent was dead in expressed the greatest regret for what had occurrec, and procured water and did all that he could to restore the deceased. The jury found the prisoner Guilty of manslaughter under mitigating circumstances, and he was sentence& to he imprisoned for two months. Walter Whittaker, 24, was indicted for cutting and wounding Alfred Stride, with intent to do him grie. vous bodily harm. Mr. Locke and Mr. Payne prosecuted ; Mr. O'Brien defended the prisoner. It appeared that on the night of the 4th of Septem• her the prisoner and two other persons went into the Custom-house Stores public-house, Lower Thamesstreet, and had some refreshment, and in consequence of the prisoner misconducting himself the landlady refused to serve him with any more liquor, and insisted upon his leaving the house. He would not do so, and she then called in the prosecutor, who is one of the City police, and at his entreaty the prisoner went out, but he came back almost directly, and expressed his determination to go into the house again. The officer advised him not to do's°, and put his hand upon his shoulder and requested him to go away, and the moment he did so the prisoner took a pipe that he was smoking from his mouth, and thrust it with great violence into the constable's face, at the same time exclaiming, " There, you -, take that." The blow was so violent that the pipe was forced into the nose of the prosecutor, and a portion of it was embedded in the upper jaw so deeply that Mr. Childs, the surgeon to the force, who was called in upon the occasion, was occupied for more than a quarter of an hour in extracting it. The jury found the prisoner Guilty of a common assault, and he was sentenced by Mr. Justice Talfourd to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for nine months.  John Caffrey, 42, was indicted for wounding James Caffrey, with intent to do him grievous bodily harm.  Mr. Carteen prosecuted. The prosecutor was the son of the prisoner, a lad  14 years of age.

Robert Crebo, a police-constable, was examined, and he stated that between 9 and 10 o'clock at night on the 4th of September, while on duty in Marchmont-street, Barton-crescent, he heard screams of "Murder" proceeding from Crescent-mews. He went to the place, and at No. 22 the sounds directed him to the top front room. He was refused admittance, hut burst in the door, and he there saw the prisoner standing in the room with a redhot poker in his hand, which he was holding by, a cloth. The prisoner's son was stark naked and crying, and appeared to have been burnt. Witness asked what was the matter, and the prisoner ordered him out of the room, and told him he had no business there. Witness asked the boy what had been the matter, and he  said that his father had been beating him with a redhot poker, and he observed the marks upon his person where the redhot poker had been. The prisoner then  ordered him to leave the house again, but he refused to go, and told him he was his prisoner, upon which  he —struck him, a❑d his wife came into the room, and they both assaulted him, and forced him out of the
