COWB. When she was milking, the prisoner came in to her from the cart-house. She had never seen him before. She asked him what he wanted there, and he said he was waiting for Charlie, the servant man. Then he came on to her and kissed her. She was not willing. He told her she should be his darling. She said no she wouldn't, that she could keep herself a good deal tidier without a young man. He said he did not believe she could. He then behaved improperly towards her. She told him to be quiet, and he went towards the door. She sat down again to milk the cow. He then came on again, and he began pulling her hair, and again said she should be his darling. He repeated his misconduct, arid she called out " Murder " and "Master." She got away from him, and ran into the house. Her mistress was in, and one Mrs dames, who was washing there. She told them both what had happened, and her mistress went for her muter, who subsequently went for the man. The prisoner was not sober nor very drunk. The prisoner was the man. She did not know him. She had not spoken to him before, tor her knowledge--Thomas Jenkins, farmer, Ynisygwas, said he was called by his wife on the previous evening, aud was told that the girl had been insulted in the cow-house. He searched for the man, who was described to him as "a young fellow wearing a cap, and had a pointy nose." He saw him in the front part of the building. Prisoner was going towards the mountain, running hard—not like a drunken man. Witness followed him up for about 400 yards, He called out to him to stop, but he took no notice of him. At last he came up to him. He knew him by sight before. Prisoner asked witness what he wanted him for, and he told him be wanted him to come back with him. Then prisoner assaulted him. Witness asked him to accompany him back, and he asked what for. Witness said he wanted him for assaulting the girl. He asked what was that to witness. Witness said they would ace about it. On being asked for his name, he asked witness if he didn't know him. He then gave a wrong name and address. Witness then left him, and sent for the police.— Cross-examined: Prisoner knocked him with a stone.— Police-constable John Pugh (Cwmavon) said from information he received on the previous evening, he went to Ynisygwas, and Mrs Jenkins made a complaint to him. Mr Jenkins, Police. constable Green, and witness then went in search of the defendant. They found him at his mother's home in Pencastell, about 7.30 o'clock. He was upstairs with his shoes off. His mother called him down, and he came. Witness told him he wanted him to come with him, that he was charged with indecently assaulting the servant girl at Ynisygwas. At first he denied, and said he knew nothing at all about it. Afterwards he said he did put his hand on her, but didn't mean any harm. He at first refused to come with witness, but afterwards came on quietly.—Prisoner was remanded until to-morrow (Saturday) ; bail being accepted.

SEIZURD OF. AN OSTEND SMACK.  Considerable exeittment prevailed at Lowestoft on Tuesday in consequence of the supposed loss of four of the crew of the coastguard cutter Beaver, who had been put on hoard an Ostender. A few days since the Beaver was on the fishing grounds for the purpose of protecting the English boats engaged there, when the captain noticed that an Osttuder wilhout lights was trawling near the nets of an English vested. He bore down on the foreigner,and threatened to report her if she did not at once haul in her trawl. The Ostend men replied with an outburst of abuse, and flatly refused to take in the trawl. Upon this the captain of the Beaver ordered the mate (Mr. Kerr) to take three men well armed, board the Ostender, haul in her trawl, and take her to Lowestoft. The cutter kept company with the smack for some time until a squall came on, in the midst of which the mate called to Jis commander that he would take the captured Vessel to Ostend. Through the violence of the squall the jib sheet of the Beaver was carried • away and het mainsail was a good deal damaged. She drifted such a distance from the Ostender that she lost sight of her. On Tuesday afternoon a telegram was received at Lowestoft to the effect that Mr. Kerr and the three men who had been put on board the Ostender had arrived safely at Ostend with the smack.  At Portsmouth, on Tuesday, four seamen bat. longing to the Royal yacht Victoria and Albert, were cluirged with smuggling various quantities of tobacco and cigars. The charges having been proved, the Magi.trates convicted each de. fendatit, inflicting tines amounting in the aggregate to £ll5.  A Vienna correspondent of the Daily Telegraph reports that a fivefold murder was perpetrated on Sunday at Triad. A man named Benedetti, while in a fit of temporary insanitr, killed his wife his three children, and his mother-in-law, and then gave himself up to the police.

MURDEROUS ASSAULT AT LEICESTER.  At the Leicester assizes, on Monday, before Mr. Justice Byles, Edwin Dutton, 28, ostler, was indicted for committing a murderous outrage on Elizabeth Scott Burgess, a spinster, 77 years of age, and neice of Sir Gilbert Scott, architect, on March 30. Mr. Jacques prosecuted. Prosecutrix lived alone, and occasionally had a charwoman to assist in the household duties, the prisoner's wife being so employed for a short time before the outrage. On March 23rd Miss Burgess received by post a £5 note, and left the letter lying about, and in the evening of the following Saturday the prisoner called with a note, which he requested prosecutrx particularly to read at once, but which only proved to be a note from an unknown person soliciting orders for coal, which was declined. In a little time he called again with another note (but which turned out only to contain a blank sheet of paper), which he insisted upon Miss Burgess reading, as it was important. On her telling him to gut uff the door step, he pushed his way into the passage, closed the door, struck her on the head with a blunt instrument, which knocked her down. She courageously seized him, when he dragged her along the passage, threw her on the stairs, attempted to get his fingers down her mouth, and sprinkled her with a fluid which caused her to swoon. She then bit his hand, so as to mark him, and was very successful. Her cries of "Murder" brought to her aid some neighbours, when the prisoner was found behind the door in the passage. Being asked what he wanted, he said that he had brought a note, and that, as soon as she saw it, Miss Burgess fell on the floor, and he was too frightened to raise an alarm. On its being said that her doctor, Mr. Sloane, had better be sent , for, he volunteered his services and made off. About an hour afterwards he was apprehended at his lodg-1 inge, a few streets off, where he denied all knowledge of the affair, but on being brought into the presence of the prosecutrix, who had by that time recovered, she immediately said, "That's the man," and thatl if they would examine the fingers of his left hand they would find that she had bitten him well, which was palpably the case, his hand being bloody. A wound six inches in length had been inflicted on the prosecutrix's head, and the right side of her lip was much injured. For some time her life was in danger, and even now she is said to be far from well with the shock.—Prisoner, in reply to the charge, simply said that he had no recollection of it, and, being found guilty, the Judge said thieves and housebreakers knew well that old women were under tho protection of the law. This was a serious case, and he sentenced the prisoner to 20 years' penal servitude.  THE CHARGE OF DEFRAUDING THE LAIR LORD MAYOR OF £l,

NAM BANKER.  On Friday evening, a man named Frederick Farley, about fifty-five years of age, by trade a plumber and glazier, living at West Bromwich, entered the bank of Messrs. Goode, Marr, and Co.. Upper Priory, Birmingham, and requested change for a sovereign, Messrs. Goode's esiablishment being kept open until a late hour for the purpose of transacting business. Farley is said to be well known at the bank, where be had been a customer. The change being handed to him, he asked Mr. Marr, jun., to allow him to remain there until therein, which was then falling heavily, cea ed. Mr. Mart readily acceded to the request, and on turning from the counter he received a stab in the buck from an instrument which Farley carried in his hand wrapped up in brown paper. Upon suddenly facing his assailant, the man aimed a blow at his left breast with the same instrument, but, as it fortunately struck upon the button of the overcoat, it glanced off, otherwise a fatal wound would, in all probability, have been inflicted, Mr. Mart called for assistance, and William Gilliver, who lives upon the premises, and his son, rushed at Farley, and succeeded in detaining him. He made a desperate attempt to escape, by striking his captors upon the bead with a hammer. An alarm was also raised in the street, upon which a police-constable went into the bank, and after a long struggle with the prisoner, hand-cuffed him. At the police station he was charged with attempting VI minder Mr. Mart and assaulting the Gillivers. He offered no explanation of his conduct. The weapon with which he struck Mr. Mart consisted of a handle about a yard and a half long, into the end of which two spikes were driven and fastened with string, one being about three inches long, and fixed straight into the handle, and the other from ten to tuelve inches long, and stuck in at an acute angle. The implement, a most formidable weapon, was wrapped up in thick brown paper, tied with string, the paper on the long spike taking off like a sheath. A butcher'. knife recently sharpened, was found concealed in his clothes, while the hammer with which he I-t•tick the 4illivers was bound round with paper, evidently for. the purpose of preventing it slipping tof his hand. Thus equipped, he was a moat formidable antagonist to encounter, and it is 'IsP • posed that he intended to rob the bank and carry out his purpose by murder. The sum of 2:70. and a return ticket to West liromwich were ale found in the prisoner's pocket. At the police station he asked that some one•might go over to West Brotnwich and tell his wife wide had occur el, Inv to request her not to go to Birmingham.

NEATH.  AFFRAY BETWEEN WELSH AND ENGLISH COLLIERS.—We regret to have to record another of those dastardly outrages for which this neigh- : bourhood is becoming so notorious. On Satur. day night, about 12 o'clock, a planned and cowardly attack was made bytiome Welsh colliers upon an English w9rkinan on the Neath Abbeyroad, resulting in the most fearful injuries to the parties concerned in the fray. From inquiries made of the sufferers, we learn that a number of men were drinking on Saturday night at a public-house in Angel-street, Neath. A young man, one of the company, in a playful manner caught hold of is person named Owens, and moved him out of the way of the jaisage where he was standing. A dispute arose in consequence, the Welshmen present siding with their compatriot, whilst on the other side were a man named Charles Francis, his wife, a woman named Anthony, and another person named Smith. Shortly before 12 o'clock the Welsh party, numbering 12 or 15 persons, left the house, making the remark as they did so that they would Wait on the Englishmen going home." No notice was taken of the threat, and the others thin went towards Skewen in two parties. On arriving near the lodge, the Welsluneii, who were in ambush, attacked the young men forming the advanced group, viz., Owen and Smith, but they managed to get away. Francis ani his wife arrived at the spot in the meantime. Then the whole lot attacked Francis, throwing him to the ground, and kicking him , till his face became a perfect jelly of bruises and blood ; his body was also most fearfully injured. The attacking party, probably unaware that some of the men has), escaped, and mistaking some of their number for Owen and Smith, continued the fray amongst themselves. One man, it is alleged, drew a knife and, stabbing right and left, wounded a fellow named John Evans, driving the knife through his coat, waiscoat, and underclothing, three inches into his right side, between the ribs, enlarging the wound as he withdrew the knife. Another man, Robert Evans, received a cut over the eye with the blade, and William Lewis was also injured. Police-constable Day, hearing screams of "murder," hastened to the spot and at once took the injured man to Neath, where Dr. Ryding dressed his wounds. Yesterday, Francis, though suffering fearfully from the injuries inflicted on him, was apprehended on a charge of stabbing the men referred to, and lodged in the county gaol. His appearance was frightful to behold, his features being scarcely distinguishable. On being confronted with John Evans, the latter alleged that he recognised him as the man who had used the knife. No weapon, however, was found upon him when searched. The scene of the outrage has been visited by hundreds of persons since, the spot resembling a slauzhterhouse floor. The excitement in the neighbourhood is intense, especially as the inhabitants of the district are known to  be thoroughly antagonistic in Nola); to Engliahmen.—Western Mail.
