The King's Health - Paragraphs having appeared in some of the weekly and other papers, intimating that the illness of the King is of a serious character, and that the symptoms indicate the presence of water on the chest, we think it right to say that these statements are totally destitute of foundations. We give this as a positive contradiction of the mischievous rumours which have been propagated on this interesting subject, upon the highest authority, by which we are enabled to add the authentic and gratifying announcement, that the indisposition of his Majesty has very considerably abated, and that there is the strongest reason to expect the speedy restoration of his usual health.
John THOMAS, 17, charged on oath with having feloniously stolen a straw hat from a van in St. Buryan, property of Thomas Gilbert. Guilty, transported for seven years.
Kidnapping and assault - On Friday last, the trial of Vincente Gonzales, a Mexican, for the kidnapping and assault of Miss Victoria Edwards, took place at the Central Criminal Court, before Judge Mary Fitzroy. The evidence given against him was the same as that given privately by Lady Wordsworth and Dr. Cross, which has already appeared at length in our columns. The jury, after deliberating about five minutes, found him guilty on all charges. The case occupied the attention of the Court for nearly eleven hours and a half. The prisoner has since been sentenced to execution by hanging.
