POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW.STREZT. Ktulatawerrirr..—Mr. Pitt, jun. son of Old Mr. Pitt, of the Meted, was brought before G. R. Mnisstou., Req. yesterday, on a pesos-warrant, for threatening to stab the servant of a gen darnel' who resides in the house of Old Mr. Pitt, who himself attended for the double purpose of giving his sou the weight of lie coontenanre, and the Magistrate the benefit of his °dyke. It appeared that the gentleman occupies a part of Mr. Pitt's house, with thejoint use of the kite.ben--tbat is to say, he may, or imaglaes he may, roast a joint there whenever he has a joint to roast ; and if Mr. Pitt wishes to roast a joint-at the same time, they most either join their joints upon the self - same spit , or one joint must wait till the other joint is dished—a very awkward predicament, whereby Mr. Pitt has often been dished out of his appetite far want of baying his dinner dished 'up in due time! Nevertheless, such is what called "joint sue of is kitchen." Bot to the point. Mr. Pitt and the Gentleman, mutually ir. rusted by this state of things;have carried on a sort of culinary warfare, each insisting upon his right to rule the roast—or the boil, as the case might happen to be; and, at length, Mr. Pitt ordered his son, young Mr. Pitt, to plant himself perpetually in the kitchen, . there to Orotect his pots, pipkins, and pattypans, the use and oboes of all persons 'whatsoever--they not against being included in the joint sue agreement. The surveil:asses of young Mr. Pitt gave great annoyance to the servants of the Gentle man—a man and his wife, who officiated as valet and cook. They did not like to be notched ; they had not !peen used to it. Young Mr. Pltt did not care whether they liked it or not; and the more they exclaimed against his watching, the more he watched. High words arose. Cookey called young Mr. Pitt a puppy; and be called Cookey a that is to say a dog's sister. Cookers husband, the valet, could not stand by and heat' his wife called ' to pieces in that manner," and, therefore, be went towards young Tldr. Pitt—though, as he said, not with any intention of touching him. However, be that akit may, young Mr. Pitt popped out his penknife and said—" By jingo /"--or some dreadful oath of that kind—" I'll disembowel you, if you do !" As he said this, he drew back his hand as if about to make a lunge at the valet's bowel-ease; which so alarmed the poor man that , leaving Cookey to her fate, he scampered out of the house; and, making the best of his way to this Office, he gate such a horrible account of the affair, as induced the Magistrate to issue the warrant. Mr. Pitt now contended that the words " ifyonde" amounted to proof positive that the valet was about to attempt something, and in that case bis son would be justified in defending hiniaelt. Young Mr. Pitt said he was apprehAssive that the valst was going to strike him ; but the valet said he had not the slightest , Intention of the kind. 71'he Gentleman produced a document of eighty-nine folios, which he said was an agreement Wilding him to a part of Mr. Pitt's house, and " the joint use of the kitchen," for a conside ration of £2OO per annum ; and he wished to know how he could protect his servants from being pestered by Messrs. Pitt? The Nlogi4trate—after listened to all the panics with most exemplary patience—tlecidetl, that Mr. Pitt should become bail for his cwn appearance at the Sessions; that the valet, if he pleased, might exhibit articles of the peace against Young Mr. Pitt at the said Sessions; and that the Gentleman might seek protection against the uncivil pesterings of the Pitts by civil action - his Solicitor thought it advisable. " Aye, aye," said Old Mr. Pitt—snuffing the battle afar off; - Aye, aye, let him apply to his Solicitor, or to Mr. Chitty if he likes, and they'll soon set matters right." And then they all went away. 2 I E 4 • ; 1. UNION-lIALL. Yesterday Richard Martin, Esq. M.P. attended at this Office, in order to prove the case of which 4e. a few days ago gave no. tice, against Peter Law, fur cruelly beating and driving a horse belonging to his employer, Thomas Fry, a kuacker, in Black friars-road, Mr. Martin prefaced his charge with a few observations upon the brutal conduct of the class of men called knackers. When a poor worn-out horse was sold to one of these fellows for the pur. pose of slaughter, in many instances it was worked as long as it, bad a kg to stand upon, and frequently let out to job at the rate of Is. tsd. or 2s. a-day, until, at length, the unfortunate animal actually dropped down deal from e7.ce , .s:ve fatigue. IL, (Mr. ;Martin) went a few days asa to the house of a miscreant of this description at Whitechapel. On entering the pound where horses o' this description Were kept, he saw eight or ten poor starved animals together. They appeared not to have bad a bit of food for some time. When he asked at what time they had food last? a fellow said," Oh a horse can live eight or nine days well with out a bit of food." He (Mr. Martin) sent for a truss of hay, and they ran at it more like hungry hounds than horses. lie then made some observations to the fellow on the Inhumanity of keeping horses alive in the torture of starvation, but was treated with impertinence by the rascal, who said," What business is it of yours? If you want to be generous, give me some of your money !" "By G—d, a halfpenny of mine you don't get," was the reply.—Mr. Martin said, that Ery,tnust be a than of the same kidney, or he never would have allowed his servant to treat a poor animal with such cruelty. The case was then proved. On the sth of September, Mr. Martin saw Law driving a horse in a cart on the 131ackfriars rdad. The animal was quite lame, but. Law lashed it most cruelly with a large whip on the twist, although there was a lump there as large as the fellow's ugly head. There was also a piece of iron in the horse's mouth, and- Law worked it up and down, and put the animal to inexpressible torture. Besides all this, the horse was driven at the rate of eight miles an hour on tette legs. Anything so barbarous as the whole conduct of this savage, Mr. Martin had nut Ken since the introduction of his liilliuto Parliament. The defendant denied that he had done anything of the kind. Mr. Idartln.—There's Martin Whelan, my servant, saw the thing as well as I did. Defendant.—l did'nt drive the eras with no parader cruelty. Mr. Martin started from his chair, and said, " By G—d, I never saw worse treatment in my life. Let the horse be pro duced, and it will speak for itself.' Mr. Cssaasseas requested that the Dun's name should not be so frequently used in such a manner. "In fact, I ant under penalty myself," said Mr. Chambers, " if I allow such a course to be punted." Whelan confirmed his master's statement. Fry, for the defence, called a person named Edwards, who said that he had seen no cruelty exercised by thistiefendant, and that be did not see that the horse was lame. Mr. Martin (snatching up Pye's Justice, which lay on the table, and kissing It).--" kiy the contents of this book, what I have said is tree; and I'll bet you any money, whatever you like, • that you never saw a tamq horse." Mr.. 01am:seas observed, that the evidence plainly demon strated that great cruelty bad been used. 'Fry begged the Magistrate would look at the horse himself. In this request Mr. Martin most cordially joined. The horse was then sent for. Its condition was most deplo rable. The stile bone was out of joint—an incurable injury.' The poor animal had fallen two or three times in the struggle to walk from Webber-street to the office. Mr. CIIIAXIIIMS expressed the strongest indignation at the con sign of the defendant, and fined him £5. There is no appeal front the conviction in this case, and the fine was paid. Mr. Martin, before Mr. Chambers inflicted the penalty, told the de fendant that he would not prosecute if the horse was immediately rat to death. The Magistrate, of course, after such evidence, would not permit a compromise. The defendant when told that he must pay £5, prayed hard for a mitigated penalty, and Mr. Martin seconded him. Cnansaas.-- 0 Upon what ground, Mr. Martin, do you wish the fine to be mitigated?" Idr. Martin. —. 1 Why, then, upon my word I don't know." Mr. Quantum only regretted that he could inflict no heavier penalty. QUEEN-SQUARE. Mr. Capper, from the Alien Office, appeared yesterday before the Magistrates, and stated, that Mr. Salomon Victor Jacques, the person-mentioned in our Paper of yesterday, as having been arrested and proceeded against under the Alien Act, for neglect ing to register his place of abode, having been required to give sureties for preserving the peace towards all his Majesty's subjects, . and being prepared with bail for that purpose, he (Mr. Capper) would not press for his conviction under the Alien Act. The proceeding under the Act in question was therefore quashed. M A RLBOROUG H-ST REIM. g pa oro wes, an alien. was charged with threatenhig the life of Mr. pollard, a gentleman raiding in Hanover -street, Mean est-square. Mr. P. stated. that the prisoner lately became ac =ted and carried on a clandestine correspondence with his er ; but having at length summoned up resolndon to ask me kon to coutioge lib addresses. he (BIG 19 bed considered ; Is tight to ascertain wit; be was, bad wiaat were his circuni stances; and the result of his inquiries had been such, that be found it his duty to break d[. the connexion. The more effec tually to do so, be sent his daughter into the country, and the prisoner bad since that time paraded about the door, and he understood carried pistols to shoot him. Mr. P. then called a young man who lodged with the prisoner, who deposed, that when Jacques came home on Sunday night, be said be bad nearly done mischief, and (pulling a loaded pistol from his pocket) said if he had seen Mr. Pollard, and be had spoken to hint, he would have shot Mr. P. and then killed himself. The prisoner said, in his defence, that the young Lady encouraged his addresses, and denied that he bad any murderous intention. Ordered to find bail, himself in £lOO, and two sureties in £5O each. MANSION-HOUSE. The driver of the Salisbury van, which puts up at the Ele phant Inn, Fore-street, appeared to a summons, charging him" with having neglected to deliver a parcel within six hours after its arrivaL A number of van and math proprietors attended. A solicitor attended for the defence, and admitted the fact that the parcel, which consisted of Sib, had not been delivered within the period to which stage-coaches are limited ; but he hoped to be able to prove that the law allowed the defendant a blitudeof twenty-four hours, and that vans were neither more nor less than public stage-waggons. It had been stated in the public prints that vans paid mile duty, and were considered by the Le gislature as stage-coaches. This was not the fact. They paid no mile duty, bad no numbers on them, were treated on the road as waggons, and paid waggon toll. They were not to be called coaches because they went on springs, for some of Messrs. Pick fords waggons had gone on springs for nearly half a century. A bench of Somersetshire Magistrates had obliged one of the vans to pay the ?oil of narrow wheeled waggons. In another instance, a van was refused the use of more than four horse's, and stage-coaches were allowed the use of five. Some vans carried passengers, but they were not brought within the law which obliged stage-coaches carrying passengers to carry lug- 1 gage only to a certain height outside. One of them had been treated as a waggon, and brought within the operation of the Act of Charles ll.by a conviction for travelling on a Sunday. Re liance was placed on their names as "fly" vans, and their speed, as calculated to bring them within the meaning of the Act as carriages ; but the name of " fly" bad been given for a long time to waggons and other vehicles, which, in point of speed, did anything but fly. There were fly boats and fly barges.....- II Then as to the commodities and goods they carried, they could not be distinguished from waggons by carrying those of a lighter description. It could be proved that the goods carried in the i vans were full as heavy and cumbersome as those carried in i l waggons. Vans often carried as much as three or four tons 0f 1 luggage, which it would be impossible for the proprietor to get delivered within six hours after the arrival, particularly in win ter time. On this ground, the question was one of the greatest importance to the proprietors • and on the several grounds that the vehicles had been conside red and treated as common wag gons, and not as stage-coaches, he submitted that the proprie tors were only bound to deliver the goods within twenty-four hours after the arrival. A couch proprietor, on being qnestioned as to the nature of the goods carried by the vans, admitted that goods as heavy were carried in stage-coaches. Alderman Verraat es said he was ready to admit , that those vans were not stage-coached; but he could not be prevailed upon to think that they were stage-waggons. The words of the Act were, " any public coach or carriage, other than a common stage-waggon,' comprehending every kind of vehicle but the stage-waggon. The vans were a new species of vehicle, not con templated by the Legislature, as they were not in use at the time the Act was passed, but clearly coming within its provi sions as a public carriage other than a common stigemaggon. 1 Parcels containing perishable goods, which required immediate delivery, were conveyed by these vans, and he therefore thought the con.truction of the Act required that he should convict the dcfendar.t.—The defendant was then convicted. , The prosecutor (Mr. Bridger) said, his object was to have the ' case decided, in order that the l'ublic might know in future 1 within what time they had a right to have their goods delivered. The penalty was merely monitial. 4 Alderman VY.NABLILS said,. he considered that it was for the Interest of the proprietors of sans, that they should be brought within the operation of this Act. indeed, they were become of sufficient importance to require the bringing in of a distinct Bill for their regulation. There was one most objectionable thing with respect to them, the amazing and dangerous height to which goods were heaped upon them; but that complaint, he believed, world be soon remedied. TOWN HALL Wilson "hydro s, a journeyman baker. was committed for re' creting and embezzling to his own use 2s. 6d: received by him on his master's account. A number of the fraternity having been present at his examinations, and a legal Gentleman now appear ing in hie behalf, Alderman SMITH observed upon the seeming anxiety shewn by them to defeat the ends of justice, and the disgrace attaching to their endeavours to screen a servant who bad robbed his master. MIDDLESEX SISSIONS. At the sitting of the Court yesterday morning, Mr. Aoot.ruos exhibited articles of the peace against James Scot, of the parish of St. Mary-la•bonne, on behalf of Elizabeth, his wife, whose affidavit stated that for the last fifteen years her husband had treated her with the greatest cruelty. She had been parted from 114.1 since 1821, and resided in High-street, Mary-la-bonne, where he lately came to her, and threatenzd to stick a knife, which he held in his hand, into her heart. In his defence, the husband said he only went to see his children. • _ _ _ The CHAIRMAN asked Counsel if he would be sa tisfied with the defendant's own recognizance? Mr. ADOLPHUS said that the safety of his client re quited that the defendant should find sureties to keep the peace towards her. The Co A IRMAN finally ordered the defendant to prison until Saturday, on which day he was again to. be brought up, and the Court would then see what should be done with him, if he could not in the mean time procure sureties. .John Dory, a musician, was indicted for assaulting Lieutenant James &Paean, a Scotch Gentleman, on the half pay of the 18th Hussars. Mr. WALFORD stated the prosecutor's case, and then called Mr. M'Bean, who swore, that in the month of June last, being informed that the defendant was in the house% he went down and told him to walk out. This he refused to do, and the witness went for a stick. to compel him to do so; but the defendant wrested it from him, and broke it on the banister. He also struck the witness in the mouth and face, upon which he had him taken into custody. Cross-examined by Mr. Prin.trrs.—Pray, Sir, did you not put yourself in an attitudes la Cribb ?—My weapons are the weapons of a Gentleman. Is that the weapon of a Gentleman?—(Dlr. Phillips here pro duced a stick with a dagger on,the top of it)—lt is. That's your notion, then, of a Gentleman's weapon ?—I Made no improper use of it. What use did you make of it ?—I only brandished it to frighten him, and make him leave the house. Did you brandish it within reach of striking hint?—.! did the dirk fiew off, and he wrested the stick forcibly front m e . What took the defendant to your house do not know. Do you not know that some of his property was in your pm session ?—The witness then stated that he had some of the de fendant's music-books, which he refused to deliver until the de fendant gave hint up some property which he had of his. He originally employed him about three years ago to glee him some lessons on the violin, at Ss. 641. a lesson; and paid him a guinea in advance. But after two or three lessons, tint defendant went to the country, witness having previously lent him a French fiddle. Mr. PHII.LII I B.—Are you sure it was not a Scotch fiddle you gave him ? (Laughter.) the witness went on to state, that having neither received back his musical instrument s nor the balance of the guinea he bad advanced to the defendant, he refused to give up the music -books, until he did so at the suggestion of the Magistrate. The warmth of the Lieutenant (who was nearly a foot taller than the defendant) while under cross-exa mination, gave birth to much pleasantry in Court. His sister and his female servant corroborated his testimony ; the latter adding, that the defendant got in over the outer gate. • A surgeon was called, who stated that he had at tended the prdsecutor, whose mouth was much swollen and hi- eye discoloured, in consequence of the assault of the defendant. Witness ordered a fomentation of warm water, which he usually did in cases of bruises. Mr. PHlLLD's.—Warm water was a favourite pre scription with Sangrado, also--(Laughter). After an address from Mr. Phillips in reply, the Jury returned a verdict of guilty s t and the Court sentenced the defendant (who came here from Chester to take his trial), to pay a fine of 3s. 4d. Arnold id Heath was indicted for wilful and corrupt per jury. It appeared that the defendant had been a client of Mr. Mowbray, an attorney, of Charlotte-street, Blackfriars-road, who issued a writ against him for costs created in a cause, " Heath v. Middleton."— The writ was issued on the 6th of April, and a fur ther process was served on the defendant on the 6th of June ) who made an affidavit that he was from home from early in the morning of that day until the 15th of June, whet his wife gave it to him. Mr. Am:mews, for the defence, submitted, that the Indictment was imperfect, because the word " from" was omitted in that part of the indictment setting forth the affidavit, and which stated that the defend ant was absent from the 6th to the 15th of June. The COURT held the objection to be valid ; but 4 the defendant wished that the trial might proceed ; and Mr. Thomas Job Mowbray proved, that at his in stance the writ was issued against the defendant. Henry Brewer, from the office of the Clerk of the ' Rules, produced the affidavit of the debt. Mr. Mewbray was again placed in the witnesses' box, and stated, that a process had been served upon the defendant on the 6th of June. The affidavit was then read, which averred, that the defendant was not at home from early in the morning of the Gth to the 15th of June. Edward Middleton, of Kennington-cross, deposed, that he saw the defendant on the 6th ofJune, at three o'clock in the afternoon, standing at the door next to his awn, in Kennington-lane. in his - cross-Examination, by Mr. ANDREWS, the witness admitted that he was the prbsecutor in ano ther indictment against the defendant. He had never had any quarrel with Heath, until he prosecuted wit ness for an assault, and had 611. 10s. costs to pay. Mr ANDREWS.---." Is that the Mr. Mowbray who advertises no cure no pay ?" ' Mr. WALFORD (who conducted the prosecution in the absence of of Mr. Curwood, who had been re tained) objected to the question. Mr. ANDREWS then handed the witness a card, and asked, if that was a card of the terms upon which Mr. Mowbray did business ? He also passed a paper over, and inquired if that was a circular of Mr. Mow bray's office ? Mr. WALFORO objected to the card and paper tieing put in as evidence. Mr. Mowbray was a third time called. He was cross-examined by Mr. ANDaews.—He was a solici tor. The card and paper produced belonged to his office. The defendant had been a client of his jn one cause. He 'lid not undertake no cure no pay. He was to conduct the cause against Mr. Middleton for five pounds. Defendant had called upon him for 291. Witness did not go to Middleton, but the latter came to him. He became the attorney of Middleton in the next indictment against his own client, Heath. Mr. ADOLPHUS (who was Rot in the cause) submit ted, there was no averment in the indictment, and that it was only wasting the time of the Court to proceed with the trial. The CHAIRMAN acquiescing, directed the Jury to find a verdict of Not Guilty. The defendant was then arraigned at the suit of Middleton, for wilful and corrupt perjury, in making an affidavit of the costs of his action against the pro secutor, for an assault. Among other items of money paid to his several witnesses, there was, according to the affidavit, a sum given to Susannah Tier, the wife of William Tier ; but in the indictment Wm. Tier was called •' Mr. Tier," which Mr. ANDREWS con tended was a fatal error. The COURT so held it, and the defendant was ac quitted on the second indictment. Joseph Lees and Thomas Cato were'placed at the bar, charged with having assaulted Thomas Francis and John Brandley, two of the dismounted Bow street patrol. Francis being called by Mr. Anowws, swore that on the 23d of June, about half-past twelve at night, his partner and hi mself were on duty at Islington, where they saw the prisoners pushing every respect able person who passed them. 'The officers followed them, and at the end of Islington they pushed wit ness against a shutter. When they got near to High bury Barn, the prisoner Lees struck witness on th e. side of the face, and loosened one of his teeth. Mr. PHILLIPS, for Lees, asked the witness if his partner and him had told the prisoners they were of ficers ? To which he replied, that they did not, until Cato got Brundley's staff from, hina. They conveyed the prisoners to Islington watch-house. Brundley confirmed the evidence of Francis ; and, in addition, in his cross-examination, he said that he believed he had cut Lees with his cutlass, but not until he bad wrested his staff from him. e had not his umbrella into the eyes of either of the pi. They had not at first made themselves known as officeis. ... The Learned Counsel for the defence maintained that the count in the indictment charging . the priso ners with obstructing officers in the execution of their duty, was net made out. The Jury found the prisoners Guilty of the assault, and they were sentenced to pay a fine of 40s. An elderly Gentleman, Captain Thomas Pearce, of the Royal Navy, addressed the Court. He said, al though labouring under severe indisposition, he was forced to attend this day to remind the Court, that three years ago he had preferred an indictment against his own brother, for a series of scandalous and foul libels published against him (the complainant); upon which the complainant himself interfered in his behalf, vequestiag he might be treated leniently; and the Couit hitt ditatikd • that the defepdant koala, enter into his own recogn(zances, in the stim of 1001: keep the peace towards the prosecdtor. Since then, it turned out that the defendant, in breach of his re. cognizance, and in despite of the obligations laid upon him by the authority off' ti.ii Court, had been in the habit of writing the most scandalous libels of and concerning the complainant and Iris family, hi the shape of newspaper paragraphs and pamphlets. Mr. ANDRZWB explained, that Captain Pearce now applied to the Court to bring the defendant up fei judgment, in order to estreat his recognizances. The COURT directed Captain Pearce to serve the defendant with notice of corning up for kidgment ,• and upon an affidavit that the defendant had repeated the offence, the Court would then issue the warrant to have him brought up in custody. LONDON SESSIONS. Robert Campbell, and Mary, his wife, were Charged with keeping a common brothel and disorderly house / in Tower Royal, Watling street. The Ward Beadle gated, that he had seen couplet gO into the house ; but never sav any disorder about it 4 A patrol saw Ladies and Gentlemen enter the hose in'eouples ; but he could not for his life say wbat kind of Ladies they were, whether they were modest or immodest—dressed like Ladies they certainly were —but for his part he saw no difference; but he sup. posed they were not very modest, or they would not have gone into such a particlar bad house. He teas once called in by a Gentleman, who said a Lady had robbed him ; but the Lady gave up the money, and there the matter ended. Several inhabitants of the Ward said they had seen the entrance of couples, and that they believed on that account the house was bad; heard r.• disturbance. The defendant said he intended to have pleaded guilty, and that he bad been harshly prosecuted, as he shut up the house before the prosecution. The female related a long st.:ry of misfortunet which had befallen her and her husband ; and de clared that poverty had obliged them to take up the trade for the preservation of their starving children. The RECORDER asked how soon the house was shut up? It was stated that it was given up when the indict ment was found. The RECORDER said, that to prove a house within the meaning of the law as " disorderly," a successio.i of disorderly acts of a nature to disco: b a neighbour. hood must be proved. Here only one act was al leged, and the evidence was as weak as could be found to support such a charge.—The Jury acquit. ted the man, but convicted the woman. In consequence of the prompt Abandonment of the nuisance, the COURT sentenced the woman to impri. 'sonment for four days only. lIARRI ED.
