Itatioxal* Axb Parliamentary Reform Asso...
ItATIOXAl * AXB PARLIAMENTARY REFORM ASSOCIATION .
A numerously attended meeting of the friends of the Association , was held in the Beaumont Institution , Mile End-road , on Tuesday , for the purpose of .-sdv . -incing the cause of parliamentary reform . Mr . Unliami churebwavdea of St . Paul's , Shad-sell , took the chair . Herniations having been passed in accordance with the objects oftho Association , and the meeting having heen addressed bv Messrs . Sutton , Kewton . 0 . W . ' Wood , Marshsll , and Bkellet ,
Mr . Tuoiir-os , 55 . P ., said , he had just come 200 miles from tire north of England to be present at their meeting , { Cheer ? . ) And he should travel the same distance hack to-morrow and be employed every day in tlie weeU in advancing the cause which they had all so much at heart . The hon . gentleman then cxplaiued the proceedings at the Manchester Confe-ence , and said that if the most satisfactory assurances had not been given to him on the subject of the rate-pay ing clauses , he should have felt it his dutv to press the amendment of ¦ which he had given notice at the meeting which -was held subsequently to the conference . There ¦ were new words introduced into the resolution at Manchester to which they were not accustomed ,
and which he did not lifce , and he could not bat congratulate the sagacity of the metropbiisTiia fending a deputation there , for otherwise the ; x 3 j &« luiions might have pa * - «< i w silence , and no explanations offered or assurances given as to the meaning , lie believed , however , that they covered the same ground as the National and Parliamentary Reform Association , and the only danger to be apprehended was lest some person should come forw ird with a larger scheme , whicli , le , however , for one , would view without apprehension . He believed that there were many in that room who desired to see a larger measure of reform —( cheers)—aud Le hoped that no public meeting would ever take place ia this country where
that feeling would not be manifested . ( Cheers . ) Bat they mast not only look for what was hest , but what was most practicab'e . Be hoped that the frequent meetings of the cabinet meant something ; but it mattered little what tbey meant if they were united amongst themselves , and did their duty out of doors . ( Che ^ es . ) ¦ Whatever they did , they must go unitedly before the government and the parliament . ( Hear . ) There was talk of * municipal franchise , an educational francbi ^ , and a household franchise ; but probably Lord John llussell did not know what suffrage he would adopt , and was desirous oi inowing what the people really desired . It was therefore of importance that they should agree
upon some minituam of reform ( Hear , hear . ) The people of the north were with them , and though he did ' notknow tbat the London deputation were universally acceptable there , because they might hare gone a little farther than the people in the north wished , they still were ready to go bandin-hand with the National Reform Association . ( Ilear , hear . ) This was very encouraging . They were told that there was reaction , and that liberty had been put down in France . It was true that liberty had been temporarily abolished ia France , hut tbe very man who committed tbat foul deed cloakcl his treason to the constitution under the flag of universal suffrage . ( Hear , hear . ) lie had been iatelv in Paris , and lie found no re-action iu
the minds of tbe people of France . They were Btill friends of liberty , and were republican in heart ; and when they had established that republic , it would not stop there , but would cross xhe Pyrenees , and make its way to the Tiber and the Danube . ( Loud cheers . ) It was tiue that Hungary was struck down , but Kossuth lived , 3 ? or himself he would never go for a small measure of reform , because it woulu only leave behind a cause of discontent , lie thought it would be better if the middle class postponed their claims unless the working classes obtained the same rights as themselves , or unless they determined , when they succeeded themselves , to assist their less fortunate countrymen . ( Ilear , bear . ) As it was well known ,
he advocated the Charter —( hear hear )—and stood for Southampton on Chartist principles . They asked for political rights and franchises because they were good in themselves , and because there was something more substantial to be obtained through them . They must not stop till they possessed a House of Commons which really and effectually represented the people of this country . ( Cheers . ) Then , and not till then , would the institutions of the country be placed on a permanent and enduring foundation , when the people ' s rights were granted , and every man had a Share in the makiajr of the laws by which he was governed . ( Cheers . ) The meeting then separated .

Gd ., the property of John Bird and others . —It appeared that on Friday , the Uth ult ., a baker had left his
barrow in a lane near tho Brompton Cemetery . The prisoner , during his absence , was noticed to walk up to the barrow , from which having stolen the two loaves in question , he very coolly walked off with them . On the succeeding Tuesday a man went to the Hammersmith station-house , and expressed a wish to give himself up , as he had stolen some tools from a sandbouse in Blythe-lane . The man was cautioned that what he said might be used as evidence against him , when he replied that he was quite aware of that , adding that he wanted to go out of the country again .

Payne : Do you not take 25 per cent , interest for these loans . Mr , Railway Loan-officel Prosecutor : Yoa may be very clever at law , but I see you know nothing at all about figures .

Middlesex Sessions. The December General...
Prosecutor : You have not paid me to reckon it up for you , bave you ? You won ' t take a brief without being paid , will you ?—Mr , Parry said this was a moat improper way to reply to a question , and he must beg Mr . Dwyer to answer with propriety . — . \ Ir . Payne said he should leave the witness to be corrected by the Court , and when that was done ho should again put the question .- —The Deputy-Judge said lie thought the prosecutor's manner highly improper , and he should insist upon his answering the learned counsel with decorum . —The prosecutor then , in answer to Mr .

Payne said tbe prosecutor in this case was the treasurer of '' the Ragged Dormitory and Colonial Training School " in Westminster , of which tha Yax \ K > i Shaftesbury was the President . Although the institution had
as many as 200 inmates—all of them young thieves , taken in to be reformed and trained for situations in tbe colonies , the whole of them too , or nearly the whole , the offspring of thieves—yet the present was only tbe third instance of an inmate having committed a theft at the institution . The prisoner , who had twice before been convicted , was an inmate of that institution , and he had been detected on a former occasion in robbing the other inmates , but he was forgiven and continued an inmate ; but , as he had got out one morning lately at three o ' clock and carried off a quantity of clothing , worth £ i ot £ 5 , the directors felt bound to have him prosecuted , and to place these facts before tho court . —The prisoner , who confessed that he had been twice convicted , was sentenced to be transported fov seven
years . j Unlawful Assault . —Peter Frederick , Wack , 2 S , and John Harris , 38 , were indicted , charged ! with unlawfully assaulting each other with intent , < fcc . —The details of the case are unfit for publication . —The prisoner Wack made an attempt upon bis life by an endeavour to strangle himself , soon after he was placed in the House of Detention . — The jury returned a verdict of Guilty , and the deputy-judge sentenced each of the prisoners to imprisonment and hard labour for two years .

Robbery . —Benjamin Davis , 22 , was charged with having stolen a pistol case and a pair of pistols of the value of £ 10 , the property of Thomas William Kennard . —It appeared that the prosecutor is an engineer at Brighton , but having chambers at Duke-Street , Adolphi , at which on one evening in the past week a person called about seven o ' clock , and asked for the key of Mr . Kennard's room , stating that he was a friend of that gentleman with whom he had made an appointment for that evening , but as he had not yet arrived he wanted to wait for him . The young girl who had the charge of the chambers , not suspecting but that the man
was telling her the truth gave him the key , with which he at once let himself into the rooms . He did not , however , remain there long , for in a few minutes after his entrance he suddenly came out and walked away . In a short time subsequently it was discovered that a robbery had been committed . A description of the thief having been given to the police he was in due time apprehended . —The little girl identified the prisoner as the person who had committed tho robbery The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty . —The deputy-judge told the jury that the verdict was theirs and not his .
Heaiitlkss RoBBERr . —Achille Cassignac , 24 , w . is indicted , charged with having stolen three banknotes for the payment of £ 5 each , a gold ring , and other articles , the property of Sarah Sackville , in a dwelling-house . —It apue & rfcd that the prosecutrix and the prisoner had been in tbe service of M . Soulier , the proprietor of a portion of the stud of horses which wero recently performing at Drurylane Theatre , and some short time since having agreed to marry they left M . Soulier when the troupe were at Windsor , and came to London on the 22 nd ult ., when they took up their abode inlGerrard * street , Soho , until they bad secured a place whereat tbey should upon their marriage become permanent residents . At this lodging they remained , living as
man and wife for several days , the prosecutrix having left her box and other matters at an adjoining eating-bouse for safety . Here they remained without anything occurring to interrupt the harmony of their condition until Thursday , when the prisoner went out in the morning , and did not return till night . In the course of the morning the servant at the eating-house called and informed the prosecutrix that the prisoner had removed her box away . Upon this she looked for the key , when she discovered tbat the prisoner must have taken it from her pocket without her knowledge . At night the prisoner came home , when , in reply to her questions , he stated that he had removed it to a larger room , which they were to occupy after their marriage .
The prisoner then went away , and she did not see him again until Saturday night . Upon his leaving her on Thursday she had gone to an old place of hers in May's-buildings , St . Martin ' s-lane , where , on the Saturday night , he showed her a weddingring , adding that her box was quite safe , and that he would show it to her . Upon that occasion she had noticed a ring upon his finger which she had locked up in her b . X . At no time had she given the prisoner an authority either to remove her box or to pawn any of her clothes . When the box was ultimately found she discovered that the prisoner had opened it , and abstracted three £ 5 notes , a
pocket book , four dresses , eleven chemhes , a gold ring , and other things . The prisoner , when he left ber on Thursday evening , stated that he was merely going out to take a bath . He did not return till Saturday , and she then gave him into custody . Upon being searched £ 1110 s . and some silver were found on him . The box and the various stolen articles were produced—some from a pawnbroker ' s—and were identified by tbe prosecutrix . —The jury found the prisoner Guilty . —The Deputy-Judge said that this was one of the most heartless thefts he had ever heard of . The sentence upon the prisoner , therefore , was—imprisonmentwitli hard labour for twelve months .
The " Swell Mon . "—Mary Jones , alias Bolan , and Jane Wilson , alias Bryant , two well known members of the " swell mob / ' were indicted for having robbed Mrs , Anne Korris of a purse containing four sovereigns and other moneys her property . —It appeared from the evidence tbat on Saturday last the two prisoners were noticed by Linden , a detective officer in the service of the Great Western Railway Company , to he very busily engaged about tlie platform at the Paddington station at the time of the arrival of one of the Parliamentary trains Presently , however , he remarked that they suddenly quitted the platform and entered a Charingcross omnibus , whereupon , feeling convinced that they were practised pickpockets , a conviction at
which ho had arrived from having narrowly watched their movements , he communicated his impression to the conductor of tbe omnibus , George Bowe n , who in consequence kept his eye upon the women . Upon the arrival of the omnibus in Oxford-street they alighted , when the conductor instantly inquired whether any of the passengers had lost anything . Tho prosecutrix , who had sat next to one of tue women , thereupon put her hand into her pocket , and at once declared that her purse had been taken from her . The conductor then followed the women , stopped them , and required that they should return with him . They demanded , " What for ? " and , as tbey were asking the question , he observed Jones in the act of passing something
which subsequently was proved to be the purse lost by the prosecutrix , to Wilson , and he heard her say , " it -, take it and be quick . " Wilson made an attempt to take the purse , but , not having obtained a sufficient hold of it , it slipped from her hand , and fell upon tbe ground . A lad picked up the purse and handed it to the conductor , who , upon examining the contents , found it contained four sovereigns , two half crowns , five shillings , a fourpenny-piece , and a halfpenny . The purse and its contents were at once identified by the prosecutrix , who gave her name as Mrs . Norris , of 1 7 South Villas , Wandsworth-road . The lady had just arrived at the Paddington-station by a third-class train of the Great Western Railway , The con . ductor then gave the prisoners into custody . — -The
jury returned a verdict of Guilty against both prisoners . —William Coombes , one of the police force who by his activity has gained for himself among thieves the sobriquet of " the Surrey Wolf , " stated that both prisoners wero notorious thieves , and cohabited with men who were equally known to be expert housebreakers . The prisoner Wilson was the mother of five children by a celebrated housebreaker , and had been tried in April last in that court , but was acquitted , on a charge of picking pockets in an omnibua in tho Uaymarket . Both of the prisoners had been previously convicted on other charges . —The Deputy-Judge sentenced the prisoners to each transportation for ten years . — The prisoners no sooner heard tho sentence than they began screaming most lustily , and Wilson appealed in strong terms for morcy oa account of her children .

A proclamation had been issued by the Mayor of Manchester , forbidding the discharge of cannon , or firearms of any description , upon the occasion in question ; but it seemed , nevertheless , from the evidence of John Booth , that upon the day in question , about five o ' clock , he and a friend were passing along Turner-street , and heard some cannon fired off about thirty yards from them .

Luke ' s . —The prisoner took , an apartment furnished in the house of the prosecutor on the 20 th of September last , when she took possession with her son , eleven years of age . Subsequently the property was missed , and a policeman was called m and the prisoner was given into custody . She gave up tho duplicates , and admitted at once that she had pledged the articles in consequence of the severest distress and privations , and she intended to
redeem tliem when she received a post-offiee order from a gentleman ( whose name did not transpire ) in the country . —The prisoner , in her defence , said that she had met with a aeries of misfortunes * , she had never been charged with-an offence before in all her life-time , and she entreated mercy . —The prosecutor now produced a letter , sealed , which he said had been received since the prisoner's former examination . It was opened by Mr . Covrie , with the prisoner ' s permission , and was found to contain a money order . —The prisoner again said that she intended to redeem the property when she received the money . Her son , a poor ragged , halfstarved-looking boy , was in court , and was ordered to be taken to tbe workhouse until the final issue
of the case . Two pawnbrokers produced some articles , and identified the prisoner as having pledged them . They expressed their willingness to deliver up the property to the prosecutor , and wished not to be bound over to prosecute . —Mr . Corrie hud no doubt that tho prisoner was driven through distress to pledge tbe property . He said to the prosecutor , " You know the circumstance of the case , and if you think it is one you ought to prosecute , you certainly have a right to do so . "King : Then I will do so . —Tho depositions were then taken , and the prisoner was fully committed for trial , Mr . Corrie suggesting that she should make her statement to the court at her trial , and it would be taken into favourable consideration .
She burst into tears , and exclaimed , " Can 11 see my child -, can't I see him before my trial ? " —Mr-Corrie said that every proper cave would be taken of him during her confinement . —The prisoner was conveyed to Newgate in tbe course of the day . LAMBETH . —Arthur Onslow was charged witb having caused the death of Catherine Barton , a fine little girl of three years of age . —Patrick Hickey , labourer , deposed that he was standing at bis door in Francis-street , Westminster-road , and saw a cart laden with wood coming along driven by the prisoner .

the animal along . The prisoner was in the act of turning into a wood-yard , when a little girl who had just passed dropped her doll , and on stooping down to pick it up the wheel of the cart knocked her down and passed over her chest , killing her on the spots . —Other witnesses were examined , and all seemed to agree that no culpable negligence attached to the prisoner . On the contrary , they all thought the affair was purely accidental , and solely attributable to the poor child dropping her doll . —Mr .

"Witness having received directions to take parties into custody for the offence , accordingly took the defendant to the station house , and had him locked up on the charge . The basket and muffins were detained , — Mr . A'Beckett having expressed some surprise at the apparently frivolous nature of the charge against the boy , who stood crying at the bar , a clerk from the office of Mr . Drew , the vestry clerk , said that a number of the inhitbitanta of Bermondsey had complained loudly of the nuisance created by persons crying out " muffins , " and that the commissioners , acting under a local act , had directed their
officer to take into custody , and bring before a magistrate , any person guilty of the offence . —Mr . A'Beckett said the " muffins to sell" was a harmless cry in tho afternoon compared to that of the dustman at an early hour of the morning , which was certainly calculated to annoy those who slept indifferently during the night . If an offender of this latter class were taken up it would not be surprising , but the muffin seller ' s vocation he constdcrea very different . However , if the commissioners persisted in pressing the charge against the defendant , under their local act , he would be compelled to enforce the penalty . The defendant bad not been charged with the offence before , and he ( tho magistrate ) thought that if he was cautioned not to break the law in future he would not commit the offence again . —The defendant was cautioned not to cry muffins again in the streets , and was then discharged .

WORSHIP-STREET . —A Young Thief . —R . Maggs , a well-dressed youth , about sixteen years of age , was charged with having stolen a gold watch and other valuable articles , the property of his employer , Mr . George Jacobs , a jeweller in Spital-square , and a man named George Ricketts was charged with having feloniously received the property , well knowing the same to have been stolen . —The prosecutor stated that the prisoner Maggs had been for some time in his service , and he bad always entertained the most favourable opinion of his integrity until Saturday last , when he suddenly absconded from his situation . On the previous Wednesday be had missed two silver medals from a writing desk in his back-parlour
and soon after the prisoner left he discovered that a gold watch , which , ho had deposited iu a , closet in his dressing-room , had also disappeared . Information of the robbery was communicated to the police and on the preceding evening he succeeded in tracing the prisoner to the house of ono of his relatives in the Borough , and on asking him what he had done with the missing property ho disclaimed all knowledge of it , and earnestly denied that he had had any participation in the robbery . He then requested tho prisoner to return with him to his house , which he readily did , and , on pressing him further on their arrival , he faintly repeated his denial of the robbery , but ultimately went down upon bis knees and made a full confession of his
guilt , for which he entreated his forgiveness . The prisoner then proceeded to state that he had stolen the silver medals at the instigation of a lad of depraved character with whom he had accidentally become acquainted , and who told hiro tbat he could take him to a place where he could easily get rid of anything he could lay his hands upon . He was then conducted by the lad to a small shop near Shoreditch Church , where he exhibited the medals to a man behind the counter , who declared that they worenot silver , and refused to allow him more than 2 s . Gd . for them . He consented to take that amount , and on leaving the shop was invited by the owner to bring him more property , which be said he was prepared to purchase to the amount of 4100 . He accordingly availed himself of the fiist
opportunity that presented itself to purloin the gold watch , which ho also conveyed to the shop , and sold it to the same man for &> s . On that occasion another mau was present , who invited him to meet him on Monday night , when he would be provided with a set of housebreaking implements , and would present bim with £ 5 if ho would point out where his roaster ' s valuables were deposited . On hearing the above statement witness at once gave the prisoner Maggs into custody , and afterwards obtained the assistance of a policeman , with whom he proceeded to a " small bird shop in Shoreditch , where he found the other prisoner , who , in consequence of the disclosures that had been made to him , was also secured and conveyed to the station-house . — Ricketts was discharged , but the other prisoner was remanded .

The information he had obtained left no doubt that such was theb intention , and he was under the deepest affliction at being separated from his only ehitd , perhaps fni ever . —Mr . Arnold expressed the greatest sympathy for the distressed parent , and , having sent forth police , suggested the propriety of immediately com raunicating with tho authorities at Bristol , iu ord ( £ tha ' . the fugitive * might be stopped , and the child retaken to its afflicted father . —Mr , James Russell the superintendent of the B division , expressed the greatest desire to assist the applicant , and stated that a messenger should be immediately despatched to the Great Western Railway , to communicate with the authorities at Bristol , and that even-at . tention should be paid to the matter .

Vallance came to the court , bringing with him a number of papers , and , addressing the magistrate in reference to the case , said Sir James's friends had thought itright to put him ( the accused )
