and gave him into custody. Upon his being taken to the station- 
house and searched, several flash notes, as they are termed, for £50 
anl £*20 each, and some medals resembling sovereigns, were found 
in his possession. Tho jury found tho prisoner Guilty. Tho Re- 
corder, in passing sentence, said there was no doubt that the 
prisoner was one of the gang of porsms who were constantly 
prowling about with the object of plundering unsuspecting persons 
like tho prosecutor of their hard earnin''.#, and if there hid been 
any previous charge against him lie should instantly have ordered 
him to ho transported. lie then sentenced him to bo imprisoned 
and kept to hard labour for twelve months.

Tim Sister of Fb A nnus O’Connor. — After th.' disposal of 
the night charges, which were very numerous, a gentleman, whose 
name did not transpire, introduced to the notice of the sitting 
magistrate, Mr. Broughton, a middle-aged respectably attired 
woman, of forlorn appearance, whom lie stated to be the sister of 
Mr. Feargus O’Connor. The ladv under feelings of inurh emo- 
tion said, that she was now residing at Bayswatcr, and was at 
the present period in extreme distress; her name was Harriett 
Bernard Brown O'Connor. Her brother, upon whom a commis- 
sion ile lunntico inquire ndo had been held, was confined at a house 
in Chiswick, ami in consequence of his being improperly detained 
there, as ho was in his proper senses aud as ‘‘quiet as a lamb." 
she was reduced to the lowest state of poverty, inasmuch as she 
was thereby kept out of property to which she was entitled. She 
was willing to release her brother, and have him under her euro, 
and, but for the trickery and chicanery of certain lawyers in the 
miUt'T, her object would, no doubt, ere this have been attained, 
ana she would have been in such a position as to have rendered 
it unnecessary to come forward, as she had unfortunately hceil 
compelled to do, with a tale of distress. Mr. Broughton, to 
whom numerous letters — one of them from Mr. Baptist Noel— 
were handed by Miss 0 Connor, had some conversation with her 
in th" clerk's office, and our reporter understood that the worthy 
magistrate afforded to tin* lady some pecuniary aid, which he felt 
satisfied she much needed. She then quitted the court, thanking 
the magistrate For the kindness which lie had extended towards

Palaco, clatnbored over the spiked fence, sovou foot high, in Pongc-

Mr. Nathaniel Pegg, of Phcouix Wharf, Bankable, Southwark, 
aud Forest-hill, Sydenham, coal merchant, John P upkin*, of 12, 
Keppd-strcct, Southwark -bridge-road, lighterman, nnd George 
Wood, of Perry-rise, Sydenham, appeared on remand, charged 
with having, on the 10th of June, been concerned in firing off 
camion on the wharf adjacent to the Forest-hill Station. [Sea 
“The Field,” p. 611.] Mr. Parry said, Mr. Pegg most sin- 
cerely regretted what had taken place, and was ready to make any 
atonement in his power. The magistrate, he was convinced, would 
see that the act Committed by his order was not a wilful one. lie 
had. used what he supposed was necessary caution. Mr. Seeker 
said, he entirely absolved the defendant, Pegg, of a wilful net, 
and it would most likely be seen in that light in another court, 
lie, however, felt himself compelled to send the case before a 
jury, when the charge of “ wilful, ” ns described in the indict- 
ment, would receive ample interpretation hv the highest legal 
authority. As regarded the Other defendants, he saw nothing in 
the evidence to detain the defendant Wood, and he must there- 
fore discharge him. Mr. Faithful said, it was on behalf of the 
public that the railway company had taken the matter up. They 
knew that the defendant was a respectable and responsible mail 
of high character. The parties then withdrew.

Cuoelty to Doas. — Gosport, July 3 — At tho petty 
sessions hold here this day before Mr. G. Blair Hall and Dr. 
Burney, a charge of wanton cruelty to two dogs was preferred 
against John White, rag and bone collector, of Portsmouth. 
From the evidonee of Richard Sinclair, an officer of tho Royal 
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, it appeared 
that on the 29th inst., while riding on the Farehum nnd 
Cosham road, lie saw defendunt driving two dogs in a dog- 
cart. The dogs were going at their topmost speed, notwith- 
standing which defendunt continued to beat them most 
unmercifully, at the same time jumping up and down in the 
cart, and swaying the wholo weight of his body to and fro, so 
that the dog attached to the shaft, every time ho did so, was 
“ nearly crushed to the ground." This brutality continued 
for two miles, and, owing to the rate at which the’ dogs were 
travelling, tbe.dcfendant would have escaped had he not been 
stopped by the gates of a railway crossing being closed. Mr. 
Forster, who appeared for the society, urged tliut an example 
might be made of tho defendant, whose cruel conduct no 
amount of pecuniary penalty could sufficiently punish. The 
bonch considered a case of flagrant brutality had been satis- 
factorily [made out. The inhabitants of “the district were 
greatly indebted to the society for having interfered, with u 
view to prevent the disgusting scenes of brutality to poor clogs 
constantly occurring on this coast. A bill for the total aboli- 
tion of dogcarts stood for its second reading in the House of 
Lords to-morrow night, and the bench felt perfectly sure 
that, could those noblemen who had hitherto opposed the 
suppression of these nuisances, be made aware of what con- 
stantly took place in tliut neighbourhood, especially in dog- 
carts used for tho conveyance of fish along the oast, the luiv 
permitting tho employment of dogs as beusts of burden without 
u district of lo miles round the metropolis would no longer 
disgrace tho statute-book. The danger occasioned by half- 
rabid dogs, driven by reckless men at a speed exceeding that 
of the fleetest horse, could only be estimated by those who 
had suffered inconvenience from it. The fuct, however, was 
well known in that neighbourhood, and the bench, considering 
tho present a very bad case, had determined on committing 
the defendant for one month to the House of Correction, with 
hard labour. The prisoner was immediately conveyed to 
Winchester gaol. 
Bor Shot. — On the forenoon of Friday a very distressing 
circumstance occurred at the firm of Kirkland, in the parisli of 
Forgue, occupied by Mr. Bedford. A servant at the farm, of the 
name of Russell, had loaded a gun, for the purpose of firing 
at some crows in the fields. He hud gone into the thrashing- 
mill with the gun, which was then on “ half-cock," and in 
putting it below his arm before leaving the mill, it accidentally 
tired and the content* of the barrel went right through a par- 
tition of about half-an-iuch in thickness which formed u 
division between the mill and a sort of sited. In tills sited 
were a man and two boys engaged in breaking guano. The 
shot after breakiug through the partition struck one of tho 
boys, and, passing right through the heart, tho unfortunate 
lad only lived a very few minutes. Dr. Cruickshunk was iu 
the quarter, and was utmost immediately on the spot, but 
his services were unavailing, life having fled. The otlior boy 
was also struck by some of tho lead#. The deceased was a 
very promising lud of about thirtcou yeurs of age. His name 
is Dey. He belonged to Rathlomay, where hi# father resides. 
The lad who was using tho gun is iu a most deplorable stato, 
but no blame can be attached to him. The occurrence lias 
cast a gloom over tho district, and forms another lesson that 
guns should be used cautiously, aud only by those well tie- 
quainted with their nature. We understand that Mr. lted- 
ford lias generously offered to defray all oxpensos Incurred 
about tho funeral aud otherwise. — Aberdeen Herald.

bad handed over many, receipts, purporting to bo signed by j 
different tradesmen, nil .if whom denied the goouinonev* of

Eton College, Wednesday. — Yesterday evening an 
express arrived at tlio provost’s lodge from King’s 
College, Cambridge, bonring a scholarship for Mr. A. II. A. 
Morton, captain of the school. Tho vacancy at King’s was 
caused by the resignation of the Rev M. G. D. Ivirwan, 
M A., fellow of tho college. Mr. Morton is son of l’.dward 
Morton, Esq., 4, Kensington Gate, Hydo Pi\lk. lie entered 
as an oppidan in Fobruary, 1851 ; became a King’s scholar 
in the Easter following; came out captain of his year in 
the election trials, 1852, nnd succeeded Mr. Burnaby as 
captain of the school on the 23rd of last month. His pro- 
gress through the school lias thus been extremely rapid; 
indeed tho most rapid on record. It is worthy of remark, 
also, that Mr. Morton goes to King's u year before the 
usual time — namely, in his 17th year. Mr. Yorke, who is 
an oppidan, is now the captain of the school. The circum- 
stance of an oppidan being criptaiu has not occurred for 
many years. Mr. Evans, son of Chancellor Evans, of 
Norwich, is captain of the collegers.

CAPTURE OF A BRITISH BRIG BY PIRATES. 
News has reached us of the capture of the British brig Cutbbert 
Young, by Riffisn pirates. Tlio Gibraltar Chronicle of Juno 24 
thus explains the affair :— 
“ Tho British brig Cutbbert Young, of Newcastle, Capt. John 
G. Marshall, of 293 tons register, coppered and copper-fastened, 
out 25 days from Malta, in ballast, anil bound to Falmouth for 
orders, was unfortunately becalmed and driven by the force of a 
current to within 10 miles off Cape Tres Forcas, on tho coast of 
Riff, on the night of Wednesday lost, the 21st instant, when to the 
astonishment of the master and crow, thin* were suddenly alarmed 
by the Hrcof musketry, nnd immediately afterwards observed n num- 
ber of boats approaching, which proved to be full of pirates. By ten 
o clock, finding little chance of escape, tlio night being rathor dark 
nnd the pirates increasing their fire and closing upon tlio brig tho 
stern boat was lowered’, six of tho crow got in, ami pushed off 
in the greatest confusion ; twenty minutes elapsed ere tho ro- 
illuming portion of tho crew could Inunoh tho skiff, when 
they jumped into it and made nwny ns fust ns they could, hotly 
pursued for three hours by two piratical boats, who kept up a con- 
stant tiro on them until they wore out of reach. It wns not until 
live p. in. on tho following day (seventeen hours nfter leaving the 
Giat tho skid’ was fallen in with bv tlio Austrian barque 
YinconM. Captain P. Fnelilnottl, who took them on board nnd

nnd put iu horo yesterday, merely to land Captain Marshall, James 
bung (first mnto). William George Hardy (.ceoud innto), W. Took

Marshall s first thought), has not, wo nre sorry to report, been 
heard oh Her Majesty's steam-sloop Promotions, which arrived

waiting an opportunity to proceed through Corigo Passage, ho was 
surpris'd by observing a Greek schooner, of about 120 Ions, with 
a largo number of men on board, bearing down on him, and 
attempting to board tlio brig; but fortunately Captain Warren 
entertaining strong suspicions of tlio schooner before it booiuno 
dark, ordered all hands up, and inndo every possible sail, steering
