The prisoners were apprehended , and their i 2 & _. _nency detected , mainly through the instrumentality d po ice-sergeants TVhall and Gray . Their expensive mode of living , apparently without any ostensible means of subsistence , drew the attention of the police upan them , and after much trouble and ingenuity , as every
precaution was taken by one or other of the prisoners to elude detection , the police succeeded in obtaining evi . dence bf their guilt . Mr .

CLERKENWELL . * _TOESD-IT . CH-IECE OF _BlOiHT axd Robbect . —Mr . Thomas _\ Vright , a fashionably-dressed young man , who described himself as a master chair-maker , was charged with rri __ amy , also with robbery , and with attempting to obtain goods on false pretences . It appeared from the evidence that the prosecutrix , Miss Ljdia Emery , a genteel-looking young woman , was on a visit at the house of a respectable housekeeper in the City-road in March last , where the prisoner was in the habit of visitin j . An intimacy grew up between them ; and the prisoner , representing himself asa single man in good circumstances , proposed marriage . The proposal was accepted , and they were married soon after in Shoreditch church . They Jived together until August last , when a person whom she did not know went up to her in the street , and told her
that the prisoner had l > een previously married , and that his wife was alive . Her suspicions were excited , and recollecting tbat tbe prisoner had cautioned her against visiting his sister , who he said was a _veiy had character , she went to her , and was by her informed that the prisoner had been previously married at Xonwell , in Buckinghamshire , where his lawful wife then lived . The prosecutrix then left him , anil in order to screen herself from theprisoner , took lodgings , under a feigned name , at 30 , Jud-place , City-road . Hej however , found out her abode , _And strove to persuade her that although he had been previously married , he had been divorced by the magistrates of Nottingham , and was , therefore , her lawful husband . He promised to cherish her more kindly than ever if she -returned to live with him , and wroto some letters to her , which were read in court , breathing the most romantic
attachment . She was , however , inexorable , and , finding this , he went to her lodgings , and , in lier absence , with a forged order , purporting to be written by her , and addressed to the landlady , . Mrs . Wilson , attempted to obtain all the furniture und other property belonging to the prosecutrix . Ha bad a cart aud horse , but tlie landlady , having been _previously cautioned , refused to'deliver them up . He went away , ana on Monday night last , at ten o'clock , meet ing the prosecutrix in the street , he snatched the gold watch whieh hung by her side , broke the guard , and ran away with it .

Buckinghamshire was produced , and also of the second in Sboreditcli cnurcu . _Seigeunt Lester , lo E , made a statement , from which it would appear that the prisoner is a Tegular Coma Fatiiom , having been chiefly engaged for years back in intrigues with women . _ He seduced the _-daughter of a respectable fanner in Jfottinghamshire , and was on the point of marriage with the daughter of a respectable tradesman in St Luke's , about three months before lus marriage withlliss Emeiy .

SOUTHWARK . . .. Monday . _—Tbheatening Leitebs . —Henry Killerby , an apprentice to Mr . Lewis , printer , of Finch-lane , in the City , who has been out on bail , charged on suspicion with sending threatening letters , some of them containing poison , to several of the inhabitants of St . George's , Southwark , appeared in discharge of his sureties to answer the alleged offence . It will be recollected that in the early part of last month an spplication was made at this court by the householders of St . George ' s parish , Southwark , relative to ' several anonymous letters , some of them containing oxalic acid , having been received by some of _theparishoners . The letters were couched in language of the most threatening nature . A communication of a similar tendency had been transmitted by the same writer to the
parish clerk of St . George ' s church , urging him to give utterance to certain slanderous expressions against Miss Spriggs , during divine service , and threatening to set fire to the edifice if lie did not comply . These infamous epistles naturally created a very considerable sensation in the parish , and eventually the prisoner Killerby , a youth , the son ofa tradesman in White-street , neat St . George ' s church , was taken into custody on suspicion of being the writer . When brought before Mr . Cottingham on that occasion , the prisoner's writing was compared with that ofthe anonymous letters , and although there was a similarity , still there was no person in attendance who eould speak with confidence to the identity . In the course of the examination it tra nspired that the accused was in the habit of attending in the belfry , and assisting in the ringing of the bells , and that while
speaking to one of the meu on the subject of the anonymous letter received by tlie parish clerk , he ( the prisoner ) gave utterance to language which would lead to the supposition that he was well acquainted with the writer , and he requested tht-party with whom he held the conversation not to mention tbe circumstance to any person . After the examination of numerous witnesses , the accused simply giving a denial to the charge , Mr . Cottingham remanded him for a month on bail . When theprisoner was placed at the bar on Monday , Mr . Cottingham , addressing Sergeant Kendall , of the A division , asked whether any further discovery had been made . —The sergeant replied in the affirmative , and said that the foreman of
the prisoner ' s employer was in attendance , and that he was in a condition to distinguish his hand-writing with tolerable accuracy . —Mr . Cottingham then directed the anonymous letters addressed to Miss Spriggs , Mr . Humble , and Mr . Bowling , to be handed to the witness , in order to ascertain if he could speak with any degree of certainty as to the band-writing being that of . the prisoner . —The witness , whose name is Edward John Tyrrell , and who is foreman to Mr . Lewis , Finch-lane , piinter , having carefully examined the letters placed in his hands , stated that to the best of his knowledge and belief they were in the prisoner ' s hand-writing . The prisoner was then remanded .
_Thuesbav . —A _Rofeias Policehax , —A policeman , named Corcoran , of the M division , was charged before Mr . Cottingham with committing an assault of an aggravated nature , on Martha Wright . The complainant stated that she is an unfortunate girl , and that on Monday morning , between four and five o ' clock , she was walk _, ing home to her lodgings in Kent-street , with another girl , when the defendant came up and desired them to go on quicker . They proceeded along , when the defendant , without giving any provocation , came up and struck the complainant , and tore her bonnet off her head . She turned round to remonstrate , when she was again assaulted by . the defendant , who struck her a blow on her nose , which made it bleed , and he also kicked her . She then ran into the house where she lodged , to escape from further violence , and had not since seen her bonnet .
She added that , as she was outside the court that morning , waiting to be called in to give her evidence , a man came up toiler , and , having spoken to her about the transaction , gave her 10 s .- for the loss of her bonnet , at the same time saying that there was no occasion for her to remain there any longer , as the case was disposed of . She further said that on previous occasions she had been assaulted by the defendant , although she was not aware of having given him any cause for it . The complainant ' e evidence as to the assault on fhe morning in question was corroborated by the young woman who was in her company at the time , and the landlady of the liouse in which she lodged proved that on her entrance her nose
was bleeding . Tbe latter witness also mentioned the uncalled-for abuse uttered by the defendant towards herself , when she remonstrated on the violence exereised towards the complainant . The defendant denied having assaulted the complainant in the . manner described . — Mr . Cottingham , after having made some remarks on the conduct pursued to women in the complainant ' s unfortunate situation , against whom all hands were raised , and who rarely had a friend . to appear on their behalf , said that they were entitled to the same protection as other females , so long as they conducted themselves peaceably in their miserable calling . He should sentence the prisoner to one month ' s imprisonment . —Committed accordingly . ¦ .
MARYLEBONE . _Feiuat . —A _Heabtiess _Scodndbei ., —A considerable degree of interest was excited at this court , in consequence of it having been the day appointed for the reexamination of the young man , Edward Chandler , who was brought up on Thursday and on . Saturday last , before Mr . Long , charged with having robbed Miss Caroline Amelia Robbins , residing at No . 4 , King-street , Kensington , to whom he had promised marriage . —Mr . Duncombe attended for . the prisoner . —The evidence given on the first occasion went to show that the prisoner had courted the prosecutrix upward of three years , and was to have married her on Monday , the 27 * u nit , She had been informed by him tbat he had put upjthe banns some weeks previously at Paddington Church ; and it was understood that they were going into business in tbe
coffee-shep line in a street near Tottenlmm-court-road . At an early hour on Monday morning she met him at Paddington , when he told her that she had better leave her shawl atMrs . Thomas ' s , close by , and as the church doors were not then open , he directed her to go to a coffee-shop , which he pointed out , saying that he would get ready and be with her directly . Ic a short time he made his appearance , and they partook of coffee and toast , which he requested that she would pay for ; upon which s ' le took put her purse , containing £ 115 s . in gold and silver , and laid it on the . table . He took up tho said purse , and after paying for what had been furnished , went off , under pretence bf fetching her ( prosecutrix's ) brother George , who was to be present atthecsremony , but he neglected to return , and she saw no more of hiin until the next Wednesday night , when he was taken into cu . tjdy by _Hillsden , 42 S , while dancing at tbe Jew ' s
Harp public-house , Edward-street , Regent's-park . A portion of the money which he carried off had been borrowed by her ofa female friend , as he said he had not enough ready cash by him to pay the wedding day ' s expenses ; and he had also obtained of her a hat , which she borrowed of her brother for him , in order that he might appear respectable at the altar . Prosecutrix , in her cross-examination by Mr . Buncombe , said , ' " I never told the prisoner to pawn my shawl for the purpose of enabling him to redeem a pair of boots . He and I never lived together as man and wife , "—Prisoner : Did you _nererjsleep with me?—Prosecutrix : Ho , indeed I never did . Prisoner : _—i'ou did , Caroline . —Mr . W . Hogg , the parish clerk . of Paddington , proved that no instructions had been given with regard to the publishing of the banns ; he had not seen the prisoner before to his knowledge . The prisoner stands committed for trial upon three charges , but will be brought np again on Thursday
next . . HAMMERSMITH . Fbiday . _—ExTEAoaniNABr Case . — Mr . John Sayer Warrall Wilson , residing at So . 37 , Pembroke-square , Kensington , appeared before Mr . G . Clive , on a warrant , at the instance of the parish officers of Kensington , for having neglected and refused to maintain his wife . The defendent , a fashionably-dressed young man , pleaded not guilty . Mr . Madden deposed that he was relieving officer for the parish of Kensington . The defendant ' s wife , who was a French woman , 22 years of age , who could not speak a word of English , had on the previous day applied for and received relief , and was now an inmate of the workhouse . On the previous day ( Thursday ) an application was made at the courtj on the part of the wife , by -some friends who had taken up her cause , and they referred to him ( Mr . Madden ) , and in consequence of their application to liim lie had called on the defendant , who most positively refused to do anything for his wife . —The defendant , in answer io tlie charge , said that in August last he went to
Trance , and on his return to this countiy he brought with him a French nursery-maid , with whom he subsequently cohabited , and eventually married . —Mr . Clive asked the defendant when he had married liis present _tvife !—The defendant said , if he was allowed to refresh his memory from ..

The wife wis then called , forward . She was . a very _pretty . young woman , and was evidently enceinte . She was informed by the magistrate , in the French language , of the nature of the accusation her husband , had made against her , which she idignantly denied ; and on Mr . Clive asking Mr . _Guazzaroni , the medical officer of the workhouse , who . . .
had been attending the wife since her admission , if there was in his opinion any grounds for the hutband ' s charge , Mr . _Gnazzaroni said he did not believe _jhat . the wife was so affected .

LAMBETH . ; ' Tuesdat . —Chabge of _ABDncTiON .- _^ James Grant , a policeman belonging to the P division of police , No . 290 , appeared before Mr , Norton , to answer to an accusation of abduction , in taking away Elizabeth Cruret , a girl aged 15 years , aud concealing herfrom her parent . From the statement of the mother of the missing girl , it appeared that she was the wife of Sergeant Everest , and had resided for some years with her husband and daughters by a former husband at the police station _^ house in Park-place , Lock's-fields . Some weeks ago she had discovered that a more than ordinary intimacy existed between theprisoner and heryouiigestdaughterEli _/ . abeth , who was not more than fifteen years of age / and from that time she ( tbe mother ) had by words and acts done everything to prevent it , but notwithstanding all her
efforts they managed to meet . On Tuesday afternoon last the girl left her home in a very mysterious way , and from that time to the present njthing was heard of her , and though her mother and stsp-father had used the utmost exertions ( o find her out , they were unable to do so . — Grant , who seemed to treat thc matter with great indifference , admitted meeting the _giri at Vauxhall-gardens and other places , but denied knowing anything about her present place of residence , and declared he had not seen her since Eriday last ;—The mother said she was pefectly convinced Granthad seduced her daughter , and prevailed upon her to leave her home . Mr . Norton remarked , that though the evidence was not sufficiently strong to establish
a charge of abduction against the accused , Grant , yet there was enough to excite considerable suspicion that he had induced the girl to leave her parents , and that he was not ignorant of where she was . He ( Mr . Norton ) should , however , take care that the matter should not rest Where it WAS , but that the utmost inquiry should be made , and diligence- used , to find out the missing girl . The magistrate here addressing Mr . Inspector Collier , requested that intelligent officer would cause the strictest inquiry to be mado , with a view of discovering the ' _glri , and that the result of such inquiries be made known to him on a future day . The missing ghl wili , it appears , be entitled in a few years to ' . £ 500 .
THAMES . Toes-dat . —Heartless Case of Dioamt . —Stephen _Prcscolt , a gun-maker , residing at Cleveland-street , Commercial-road , was charged with intermarrying with Fanny Lambert , his former wife , Jane , being still alive , The case , as exhibited in the details , was a very distressing one . It was first brought under the cognizance __ of the court by Mr ; Seaborne , the relieving-ofiicer for Mile-End Old Town , to whom the complainant applied for assistance for herself and her baby when the prisoner abandoned her . Jfr . Seaborne applied to the fellow on the part of the parish , demanding an allowance for his wife and child ; but he cavalierly replied that she was no wife ofhis , another woman had a previous claim upon him . — Mr . Seaborne told him such an admisssioh ' placed him in a very serious position ,-and he was ultimately
taken into custody on the present , charge—Tne complainant , an exceedingly interesting young woman , . with an infant about four o _»* five months old in lier arms , entered the witness-box , but was so overpowered that she nearly fainted away in the arms of the usher . The child was handed to a friend wfto accompaniecL . lier , and she was accommodated with a chair at the clerk's table . __ It was painfully curious to observe the conquest of mind over body , aB the complainant , holding oh by the chair and table , gave her evidence in a manner so calm and distinct as to win the sympathy of the entire court . Thc contrast between her and the prisoner was as great as could be imagined . He was a' wretched-looking fellow , not able to write his name , whilst her manner and language exhibited no little cultivation . Police constable Johnson , 296 II , stated that he
apprehended the prisoner on the 26 th ult ., on the information of the complainant , who accused Mm of having another wife at the time he married with her . The prisoner , who was then lodging in Cleveland-street , denied that he had been married previously , but a woman , who was living with him at the time , was pointed out to witness as the first wife . The constable asked the woman if such was the case , but , before she could answer , the prisoner told her to deny it , which she accordingly did . Since the prisoner was first before the court , witness had been to _Uuoningham , and procured a true copy of the registry ofhis marriage , which took place bybau ' ns , at St .

at . Lunehouse Church , in July , 1814 . The complainant said she was married to the defendant on Sunday , the 7 th of July , 1844 , at Limehouse Church . Five mouths after that marriage , she discovered , by letters in the prisoner ' s box , that he had another wife living .

When the prisoner was arrested , complainant saw this woman , who she Understood had been brought up from lSirming . ham to take her ( complainant's ) goods , and swear robbery against her .

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT . Monday . _—Extiuobdinaby Railway _Kobbzbies . — CharleB George _Majnardwas indicted , and the indictment charged tbat whereas one Daniel Garratt , alias John Garratt had , on the 15 th July , stolen a writing-case , con . taining valuable securities , the property ef Yaughan Prance , and that the prisoner had accompanied and aided the said Daniel Garratt , in the commission of the said felony . In a second count the prisoner was charged with receiving the writing-case and its contents , well knowing it to have been stolen . Garratt , who had pleaded guilty , was also placed at the bar . Mr . _Clarkson and Mr , Bodkin conducted tbe prosecution and Mr . Ballantine de . fended the prisoner Maynard . Mr . Clarkson stated the
facts of tbe case . In the month of July last Mr . France was a passenger by . the Great Western Eailway , and amongst other luggage had a leathern wrking- ' case , which contained money , and valuable securitiesto the amount of upwards of £ 1 , 000 . This writing-case was missing en the arrival of the train at Paddington ; and Mr . France advertised his loss , offering a reward for the restoration of the property . On the 12 th of July Mr . Prance , who was staying at Morley ' s Hotel , received a letter , which would be proved to be in tbe hand-writing ofthe prisoner Garratt , and a draft of which had been found at the house of the prisoner Maynard . The letter was as follows : — :-"Saturday , July 12 , 1845 .
"Sir—Your _writing-desk , with leathern case , containing many promissory notes and bills of exchange , is safe . A liberal reward must be paid for its restoration . The present holder of the documents will search out an agent whose respectability and responsibility is unques . tionable ; and you must satisfy yourself by his references that he can be entrusted to negotiate an affair of so confidential a character , as it must be passed through some agency . You will please to reply to this letter inthe Morning Post thus : — " Alpha will give £ if all the papors are restored safe . •' This advertisement will be understood ; none but principals will be allowed to interfere . " In accordance with the terms * of this letter , Mr . Prance caused another advertisemtnt to be published in _the-VornitwfPoit to this effect : —
" Alpha is _atllorley ' s Hotel , but will leave Paddington for B . at two o ' clock to-morrow . Subsequent events have altered the value of the papers lost , which Alpha , in an interview can easily show , but a suitable reward is not objected to . —July 21 . " Mr . Prance , in answer to this advertisement , received the following letter , iu Garratt ' s handwriting : — "July 18 , 1845 . " Unless an advertisement , offering a suitable reward , appears in the Morning I ' oston _Tuesi ' ay next , the valuable documents will be no longer under my control , and will be irrevocably Jost to _jow , " This _letter was followed by another , whicli would be proved to be in the handwriting ofthe prisoner Maynard , and which was iq these terms : — "July 23 , 1845 .
" SU *—Tfae agent whom I have solicited to arrange the matter refeiTed to in the Morning Post ef to-day , is , unfortunately , at _Sandhurst , Kent , and will not return till Saturday morning next ; but I will addresB a letter to him to-morrow , which he will anewer to yonr residence at B ., and you must name the amount of reward you will give for them . They are , nevertheless , of real value j say , _instead of three dfits ' aftcr the ** , . . fill up thc sunVin letters . " - ¦ - _-., ¦ All these coromnnications were addressed by Mr . Pranpe to the Great "Wmcrn Railway Company , and shortly afterwards he received a letter from the prisoner Maynard , purporting to come from Sandhurst , though it would te shown at the time he was not at Sandhurst at all , Ihe letter was in these words : — "Sandhurst , _Jply 24 , 1815 . '
"A stranger called at my office last evening , and represented that he had found ii ' travelling writinE > uesk and contents , joiir property . He emphatically aBsertS that he did not obtain possession ofthe _same'dishonestly , for in fact ho $ eytr received it at all .

A correspondence was kept on , and eventually an ap . p ' ointmeht with _Maynard was made , and tho mult was thathe _^ _wak taken into custody at the Guildhall Coffeehouse , . after he had produced the necessary writing-case and its contents , with the exception of about £ 10 in cash _, the learned counsel added , that it would be proved that the two prisoners were in constant communication with each other , and other facts would be . proved to show Hint they were closely allied and connected with the guilty transaction . A number of witnesses were examined whose . evidence fully substantiated the charge . The jury ,
after a brief consultation , returned a verdict of guilty of receiving the property , knowing it to , have been stolen . A former , conviction of Maynard was proved In 1816 . The _Common Sergeant sentenced 0 avratt to be transported for seven years ; and Maynard to be transported for . fourteen years . The prisoner Garratt was again placed at the bar , ' when Mr , Bodkin called theattention . of the court . to the fact that he had pleaded guilty to no less than six other indictments . Thelearned counsel had made a statement ! _., writing , which he ( the prisoner ) . desired to have read . Mr . straight , the . deputy-clerk of ai _* _raigns , then read the following statement : —
" Prison of NewgaW , Oct . 31 , 1845 . . .. . ' . ' I feel it to be useless to niake a ' ny attempt to defend myself against these cases , and I desire to plead guilty , although I did not myself take some of the luggage produced against me , but they came to me afterwards ; for instance , Dr . Daniel ' s , on , the Great Western , I did not have for some period after the time he stated they were lost , as I have explained to Mr . Nasli , Iregret that I was in the moment of inebriation _terdjited to embark in so dishonest a traffic ; but the first tim _^ tation having succeeded , I could only go on , and to habits of drinking do I attribute my first false step ; for it was only when elevated with liquor that I was tempted to meddle in these matters . But I beg to appeal to those kind noblemen and gentlemen with whom I for years lived , and
some of whom are on the bench and in the court , as to my general character as a servant . Some of their _testimonials are in the possession of Mr . Nash , who I believe ha 6 ascertained that I bore the highest character . - Not withstanding the extent of these matters , I am left without a shilling ; my thoughtless and careless habits , wj love of dress and drink , have brought me to this , and those who have led me into it from an industrious course of life , have the reflection of doing so , and then leaving me without even contributing one shilling to defend one whose purse and'liberal treatment ( even to foolishness ) they always experienced ; and I leave them with that reflection on themselves , and on the insincerity of human nature , in the hour of need and peril to which tliey contributed . Had I followed the advice and example of my present wife , I should now be a respected member ol
society ; to her I' shall ever feel great respect ( though I have deeply injured her who is an innocent sufferer ) ; and to the governor of Newgate , Mr . Nash , and my attorney , I tender my thanks for their kind consideration to her and my feelings , in the discharge of tlieir duty to the public and to the companies whom Mr . Nash represents . "D . Gabbatt . " Witness—W . G . Thwaites _, solicitor , i , Lyon ' s-inn . " The Common Sergeant said , his attention having been called to the fact * that the prisoner had pleaded guilty to six other indietmente , it became his painful duty to pass a further sentence upon one of them , and that sentence was , that he be transported for a further term of seven years , to be computed from- the expiration of the former sentence .
Chabge of Child Mobdeb . —Sarah Hughes was indicted for the wilful murder of her infant child . It appeared tliat the prisoner was in the service of a Mrs . Maiaham / liYing atStokeKewingtom On the morning of the Mi of March she was noticed by Mrs . Maidliam as looking excessively ill . She would not at first confess that she had given birth to a child , but she did so on her mistress threatening to call a doctor . The body of tbe child was afterwards found in a box in tlie coachhouse quite dead , and nith a string round its neck . The indictment charged that death had been caused by strangulation , the string being tightened so as to cause its death . According to medioal evidence the ribbon in question might have been put round the neck of the child by the mother for the purpose of facilitating parturition . It further appeared that divers baby clothes were found in a trunk belonging to the prisonor . The jury acquitted the prisoner . The poor girl , win had been iu a fainting state during the trial , was carried out senseless .
Steamsg a Wife , & c—John Hopkins , a squalidlooking cabman , 24 years of age , stood indicted for stealing a chest of drawers ' and a great variety of other furniture and valuable effects , the property of James Freeman , in his dwelling-house . It appeared , by the opening of the case , that the _prisoner had , previous to the date of robbery , been an inmate as a lodger with Mr . Freeman , and his conduct gave him great satisfaction until the late occurrence , which had ruined his peace of mind . The prosecutor , a respectable looking man , stated that during the prisoner ' s residence in his house he entertained no suspicion of his honesty , but unhappily for him he made a discovery which had completely disarranged his peace of mind and establishment in the world . He went out on the day ofthe robbery and did not return until late , when
to his surprise and regret he found himself minus chairs , tables , bed , and indeed every valuable that was moveable . Upon inquiry he found that his property had been removed in a van , and the house _wbb left to the care of the other lodgers . He found also that the prisoner had '' bolted . " Common Sergeant : In fact , sir , you found yourself divested of all ' your furniture ?—Yes , my lord . Common Sergeant : Nor was that all , I believe ? Mr . Freeman ( in solemn tone ) : No , my lord ; my wife had gone too ( laughter . ) This levity , met with a deserved rebuke . The prosecutor then detailed-the " ups and downs , " ' ins and outs , " which his footsteps had marked in " search of a wife , " and at the expiration of fifteen days he found them together , " snug tucked up . " The Court : I believe upon your own btd ? Mr . Freeman : Yes , my lord ; and all the furniture in the room was mine . The prisoner tried to make him believe that Mrs . Freeman exercised her own will , nnd said the furniture was hers—he did not seem
to be aware that she " was not her own property . " The man Who moved the ' household stuff , " said that the acted under the lady , who engaged them , but the prisoner was present at tiie ' unloading . J . Milne , the police constable who apprehended the prisoner , stated that he denied the robbery , and said Mrs . Freeman . removed the goods . ; . ; A gentleman of the bar reminded the court that it had been considered that , when the wife removed the property , her paramour was exempted from the larceny . Common Sergeant : Yes , but thero is a case in the books whereiMr . Justice Coleridge decided that , to steal a wife only was a felony—she wearing her husband ' s apparel . Here was a stronger case , for the property was found on theprisoner . The Learned Judge summed up , and without much consideration the jury found him guilty . His Lordship said they sat there to protect the public against wrong-doers like the prisoner ; hence tho judgment was , that he be kept to hard labour for one year .
Tuesday . —Chaboe of Swindliko . —Maria Locke , 50 , the wife ofa surgeon at Pimlico , and Edward and John , her sons , aged 19 and 14 , were indicted for conspiring to obtain , by false pretext seven pairs of shoes from George Gawthorp , with intent to cheat and defraud him thereof . The ense lias been fully given in the Quccns . sqimre reports , The stratagems by which the shoes were obtained were reiterated , and the shoes were produced by a pawnbroker-. They were pledged by a female on the day they were obtaiaed . He would not swear that Mrs . Locke was the person . The jury acquitted all the prisoners .
Edwin Locke and John Locke were indicted for attempting to obtain other shoes upon similar . pretenceB _, and with the like intent ; and Maria Locke was charged with counselling and encouraging her sons to commit the said larceny . The evidence was nearly an echo of tliat in the last case . Mr . Huddlestone said that the prisoner at the bar , down to the time of this transaction , had borne a respectable character , and she stood charged with ou offence ofa very grave description . The jury again acquitted them all . The Common Sergeant said there was another charge , but as the evidence was the same , it was scarcely necessary to occupy further time . The jury quite assented , and the prisoners were all declared not guilty . —They were then liberated from custody . The court , at its rising , _fldjoumcd to , Monday , the 24 th inst .

Astley's Royal Amphitheatre. • The Bride...
ASTLEY'S ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE . The Bride of the Nile continues to attract numerous audiences . It certainly is a . most imposing spectacle , and got up without regard to expense . The Palace of Memphis , the Hall of Dreams , and the Golden Hall of the Pyramids are splendid scenes . The whole is a most brilliant piece . The Sacred Bull was richly caparisoned . There was little but his head aud tail to bc seen , but we think if any farmer ' s boy , six years old , had seen only these , ho would have said " that bull's a cow . " The highly-trained steed " Aricnnt" exhibited great sagacity , especially in tailing up the two gloves , ivhieh is a very difficult feat to accomplish , and . dthough the horse failed iu this feat , yet the placing tlie two gloves together , and the many attempts it made to secure them , siiowed a wonderful degree of sagacity .
ROYAL MARYLEBONE THEATRE . This elegant and commodious theatre , under thc auspices of Mr . Douglas , continues to enjoy an ample share of public patronage ; the inhabitants of the western district of the metropolis seem to appreciate the unceasing efforts of the management , A new two act domestic drama has just been produced—peculiarly suited tothe tastes ofthe usual visitors ; entiled , Mary Campbell ; or , the Wife and Witness . The plot is of simple construction , but well worked , out . The piece opens with a sort ol Dick Turpin carousal ; certain worthies ofthe road determine to fill their purses by nocturnal activity . A . Jfr . Leyton arrives at the moment , and maks a gratuitous disclosure of his wealth * , _. _Bartrum selects him as his victim , he is waylaid and , as we imagined , murdered—for in the
cottage of Mark Campbell he is secreted as dead . His pocket-book containing a vast amount of notes , falls into the hands of Campbell , and the poor man ' s temptation is too great—though urged by the honesty of the wife to make a restitution . At that moment the child calling for bread , he determines to take from the dead to satisfy tlie hunger of thc living . He removes thc body . Bartrum has observed tliis from ttie window , aud discovers that Mary . Campbell is the very woman that formerly rejected his addresses , and made him the outcast that lie is . He resolves on her husband ' s ruin , and succeeds in procuring his arrest and arraignment as the murderer of Leyton . By au ingenious _manoeuvre he obtains possession of the old man ' s money ; thus armed , he makes vile proposals to Mary Campbell , which she with scorn repulses - _, and as
Barlrum is rudely dragging her from the cottage , her husband , who has escaped from confinement , timely rushes to her rescue— Campbell is again secured , and taken to prison to await his trial . The ngoay of the loving wife is finely pictured—she determines ou preventing the appearance in court of the only witness against her husband . She obstructs his path , fires at and wounds him—nnd exultingly leaves him . The court is sitting expecting the sole witness , who not appearing , tlie prisoner is acquitted ; at this moment _JBartrum by a last effort reaches the hall of justice to tender evidence . The unfortunate Campbell is about to be _nrrnignedlor the robbery , when . one of _Bartrum- ' s associates , urged by the prattle of a child , denounces the real villains . Bartrum , defies him to the proof , when by one of those Btrong
incidents dramatic authors know how to invent , thc supposed dead Leyton appears in court ; his assistants are secured , and the innocent made happy . The foregoing is a sketch of the principal , though there is a minor plot , that materially aids the representation , in which Mr . T . Lee , as Sam Swivell , and Miss L , Pearce , as HeU Butterfly , keep the house in a continued roar of laughter . Their dancing duet , in act the second , was a fine comic effort , and elicited a most enthusiastic encore , Mr . Rayner as Bartrum , looked and acted the character with infinite spirit ; he forcibly reminds us ofthe late Frederick Yates , and seems a thorough favourite with the audience . Mark Campbell was played by a Mr . C . Harrington ; there is too much hauteur in his manner for the poor countryman _.
and too great striving at effort ; still the performance was very creditable . Messrs . Smithers , Robberds , and Lewis , contributed their mite to the general effect , but the great charm of the piece was the _manner in which Mrs . Campbell sustained her character—her love for her only child , her manifest devotion to the welfare of her husband , her struggles iu poverty , and subsequent despair , were masterly touches of nature , that proved lier a finished actress , and commands suceess . Tho piece is well put on the stage . The scenery , by Mr . Neville , does him infinite credit . The drama was , as it deserves to be , eminently successful , and cannot fail to have a long run . The Death Ship ia stiU attractive ; thc excellence of Mr . Douglass as a British sailor we have before noticed , His descriptive hornpipe is indeed a gem .
The spirited lesse has , this week , produced the Tragedy of Macbeth , from the text of Shakspeare , and witli the music of Locke . The piece was put on ] _the stage with that degree of taste which has gained so much fame for this establishment . Mr . Grattan Dawson , a gentleman , who earned considerable fame at the metropolitan minors about twelve months since was the Macbeth , and sustained the character with considerable ability throughout . His dying scene was true to nature and called down bursts of applause . Joseph Rayner , personated Macduff , and added by his able dciieneation of the character much to his well-deserved popularity . Mrs Campbell , with more than her ordinary . ability sustainedfthe character af Lady Macbeth . Locjce ' s music was very creditably performed by Mr . Neville , Miss I _ . Pearce , Miss Laporte , and a chorus exceeding thirty performers . Mr . Grattan Dawson , during his limited engagement , will sustain tlie round of Shaksperian characters . This gentleman bids fair to fill « P the gap left vacant by the demise of the lamented Elton .
TIIE CITY : THEATRE , Under the _lesseeship and management of Mr . and Mr 8 It . Homier , neatly fitted up , thoroughly cleansed and redecorated , attracts large audiences . The performances have been Pauline , The SpUalfields Weaver , and The Revolt of La _lendee . The characters were ably sustained by Mr . and Mrs . R Homier , J . Webster , and _MissLacuy , who bids fair to become a brilliant star in the profession . Atthe conclusion of the first piece Mr . and Mrs . Honner , and Miss Lacey _, was called te the _foot-lights and greeted witli the loud applause of a crowded audience .

and _trcstin _^ ces , on Monday evening , & . . So _i-a ., bin announcing this important event , On the eve named many . parties had collected to witness the ( fcC " the performers for the season . The boxes had a < lec ° sprinking of would-be gentlemen , the pit was ' toler . a ! . ' filled with the less foppish and more sober of tlie V _' i folks of the toiyn . The gods above had mustered s . r _„ _I to greet a favourite , who really performed Dicky j )( a s nn itinerant green . grpcer , attached to Susan HopUu a " to his donkey , first rate . The performers , as mi ght bo expected , were not of the first order . The j'oun" Ui who sustained the part of Miami promises better _thini . after a time . Between each act the audience was ti eated to an extra performance , which was produced by the movements of sundry feet and ancles behind the 6 _Cf-rif « some wearing enormous boots of ancientdate , _otjjers c ' _-ul in those of . lighter material , yet still proclaiming tliem selves as belonging to an age passed by . The loving \ , _y whieh these feet were moved were concealed from view
but itwas evident , from the rapidity of their motions that all was bustle behind tlie scenes . Now , here was a novel performance , affording material for reflection . W suppose the audience generally were employod in reasoning , from the distinguishing peculiarities of what they could see , and picturing to themselves the peculiar form features , and character of what they could not see , At one moment a large boot appeared—that , of course , must belong to some hero in tbe piece , or some robber , whose face , _well-bewiskeredand _plentifllllymoustaclieil , was des . tinedto perform great things in the killing way during the next act . Then would come a mere tiny affair , which , as it swept by , was sometimes nearly hidby the muslin that covered the form to whieh it was a necessary appendage . This , of course , must belong to the heroine of the
piece ; if it be her first or second appearance in the character , and could you be placed near euougli , you might hear her heart beat more audibly as the prepara . tions for raising the curtain became nearer their com . pletion . The contemplation of how _mueh paint would be laid on , to excite the pity or admiration of the j . u _ ii . ei-. ee _, required great penetration ; of course , she was v . \] and small , the foot bespoke her such , but ns to the paint that was a more difficult question to solve , and required more deep thought . There were otlier tVet , large . urn small , some whose proportions bespoke tiie owners as "fat , fair , and forty , " destined to play some humble housewife ' s part inthe scene . All this appeared io y as got up expressly to please the more studious and grave part of the audience , and thero was indeed sufficient fur
their imaginative fancies to revel in . Whether the scenery was too short , or was expressly prevented from going to the bottom , for the especial benefit of the parties wc mention / it is not for us to say , but we sliould suppose the latter . The curtain , generally termed a gveeil one from its colour , had evidently seen tne opening of many such seasons . It had , indeed , to lament its faded beauty und to sigh for charms that had disappeared . It was truly iu the decline of life , and had much shortened tho days of its future existence . Its lower extremities , too , had been repaired with a piece of more recent fabrics . ' tion , which , contrasted with the faded beauty of its superior , plainly told of the service . of the upper part , and showed it had grown grey in its rising to the eminence it had attained ; but , like its colleagues , it too was shorn
ofthe usual proportions , allowing the studious part of the audience opportunity for exercising their imaginative faculties . Now , what more eosy than while the lower extremities of tliis veteran curtain were being repaired than to have made it sufficiently long to have oft ' ectually screened the parties behind , had it not been the intention ofthe persons engaged in , the matter to give these opportunities between the acts for the studious to employ themselves . At all events , we arrived at this conclusion we considered this as a portion of the performance , aad as such we made the most of it . After a lime , the movements of the feet behind generally became less rapid : then came the tintle of an apology for a beli , which , by its noise , we should suppose must , like the Green Bushes , belong to an age " one hundred years" gone by , After its
click , click , click , had been thrice repeated , the noise of which you may imitate by striking the snuffers against tlie candlestick , the scene was raised , and displayed the necessary performers , all prepared to sustain the parte allotted to them . Then came the pleasure of contrasting the imaginative picture with the reality displayed to view ; it was , indeed , as the novel says , an interestexciting occupation . The first part , the Green Bushes , was tolerably well dragged through , and the usual quantity of cat-gut scraping nearly completed , when another novel scene was introduced . We suppose this part wns intended for the gods , as it was only tlie pit gentry who could enjoy the full benefit of the contemplative scenes , and this , of course , must havo been got up fov the especial benefit of those above , as a set-off for what they had
missed . Be this as it will , it seemed exactly to their taste ; the flute-player enjoying his _' part—and why should he not , it was given to him to be played , a « d . _lt' a _« . audience could not hear him , why he might as well not be there . Well , he was " tearing away with a vengeance , " " puffing like a porpoise , " so that the _'Jseeond fiddle " became nobody , he could not be beard in the squall . He remonstrated with the flute , and called him hard names for usurping the attention of the audience . From words they got to blows , amid hisses from the persons in the boxes , mingled with clapping of hands and loud cries from the gods , such as "Goit , lad ! " "Hit Viim againl " " Bravo , flute . " It was soon evident the flute had the best of the battle : he , too , like the curtain , had grown
grey in the service , and he dealt such hard blows upon the head of the poor second fiddler , that he soon became _desirous of making bis exit , which he did at the first op . portunity , amid the execrations ofthe " upper classes" or gods , who appeared to have token the flute iuto their es . pecial favour , for they loudly cheered bim after his o _iyo . nent liad disappeared from the orchestra . After a short time the feet again began to move behind the scenes , and we were soon lost m contemplating tlie forms of theii owners . After sitting out the after piece , Susan . I / _iytfcu , we slowly wended home , ruminating upon the incident _, we had witnessed , and which we now chronicle for the edification of others under the title of " A Night in a Provincial Theatre .
