LAW iLli TELLIGEN CE. COUr(T OF CHANCERY, FEB. 8. The Ur:, CHANCELLOR sat in Lincoln's Inn Hall this mrr tr, wh;.th was the first day of his Lordship's sittings the tfamination of the Term. CODRINRTON V. JOHNSON. ''The arguments in this part-heard appeal were resumed but had not concluded when the Court rose. They will be proceeded viith to-morrow (this day). VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, FEB. 8. His Honour the VICE-CHANCELLOR, after disposing of several short matters at the head of his paper, and a great number of unopposed petitions, proceeded to hear the fur ther arguments in the part-heard case of IT. JOHN'S COLLEGE V. PRATT, CARTER, AND OTHERS. The case came before his lioNott, upon motion for the committal of the defendant Pratt, for the breach of an in junction. Mr. Knight Bruce and Mr. Bellamy, who appeared on behalf of the College, were heard yesterday ; rod Mr. Wakefield and Mr. Randall, on behalf of Mr. Pratt, ad dressed the Court to-day. From the statements of Mr. KNIGHT BRUCE it appeared that the injunction bad originally issued against the other defendants, restraining them from cutting down, destroying, or carrying away any trees or underwood in Bagley Wood, in the county of Berks. The bill was afterwards amended by the 'introduction of Pratt as defendant ; and the Lord 'Chancellor, during the long vacation, had extended the in junetiorne him. Bagley Wood was a very extensive tract in then ri ,! ‘'iourhood of Oxford, containing some fine tim ber, and a reat quantity of underwood. Over a great 'part of this. ract a right of common existed, but the soil and the timber were the property of the College. The rest of the defendants, besides Pratt, were mere cottagers. who were acting under the directions of oth e r s in committing the depredations. The College was anxious to abstain from personally visiting on these misguided persons the legal consequences of their acts, and hoped, by getting at the authors of the mischief, to prevent its recurrence. A few years ago the College found it necessary to resist poaching on the wood, and they selected Mr. Pratt, who keeps a cigar-shop in Ox ford, as a proper object of punishment and example. Pratt was convicted of poaching—the act was killing a rabbit ; and he had ever since devoted what time he could spare from his sh o p i n s ti rr i ng up t h e m i n d s o f t h e peasantr y in the neighbourhood, that they had a right to cut down for raring, and even for sale, everything short of timber that could be found upon the lands. The consequences in the county where this delusion existed were very serious. It seemed to be a supposed sort of right, not as appendant or appurtenant to propert7 in any legal sense, but of inha bitancy, so that the occupier of any cottage by the week or day acquired a general right of spoliating the wood. Some designing persons had made the ignorant population believe this was their right, and that it was cruelly withheld from them ; aed unless the College could be effectively assisted by the Court, the property would be destroyed, and numbers and force would prevail against right. Pratt was unquestionably the main spring of all these proceed. sngs ; and it was considered that an injunction against him rught have the effect of protecting the property. The case which the affidavitsmade was, not that Pratt had him. self touched the timber, but that he had by his presence and conduct encouraged and abetted the trespassers. On the 14th of December last the College sent three wag gons from Oxford to remove the wood which the tics passers had cut on previous occasions. When the first Waggon, which was much in advance of the others, reached the wood it was met by a rudely-armed multitude with clubs and billhooks and other instruments. As the waggon was turning into the wood, Carter, one of the de fendants, struck the fore horse, and the mob, by threats and violence, compelled the waggon to turn about and go back to Oxford. The triumph was too good to end there. The parties concerned determined to take a step further and to remove the timber for themselves. They procured a waggon of their own, conveyed a load of wood to Oxford in a triumphal procession, and carried it to the wharf of a person named Hopkins. It appeared son.o persons, who are called in the affidavits ladies and gentlemen, subscribed to comfort the ri aers, and out of the rent a cask of ale was bought and carried to the wood, and merrily drunk in a corona of faggots, in divan fashion, while a second waggon was loading. The second lead was brought to Oxford in like manner, and this concluded the triumphs of the day. It did not appear that Pratt was present on the first occasion when the waggon was turned back. He had, in fact, nothing on earth to do with the wood, except as a patriot, but hearing that the College were beaten back he hied to the place, and it Was not suggested as any part of his case that he intimated to one of the deluded peasants that their conduct was unlawful. Ile was Moro when the second waggon was loaded, and when the beer was drunk, but he took good care not to touch a stick, save for the purpose of sitting on it. If he could not go farther than this, he (Mr. Knight Br9see,), would confidently submit, that he had made out a case fcr the committal of Pratt as aiding and abetting. But the e et was another remarkable incident. One of the Witnesses swore that he heard Pratt say to a person in the Wood, " If you don't stick up for your rights now, you de serve to lose every drop of blood in your veins." Pratt made several subsequent affidavits, leaving this statement uncontradicted. But advice, no doubt, was given ; and there came at length a supplemental affidavit from him, deny ing the words. But it was very remarkable that the affidavit of the witness did not stop there, but went on to give the rest of the conversation, which was not c mtradicted. Pratt says, " If you don't stick up for your rights you deserve to lose every drop of blood in /our veins." And the reply is, They would ; tiv?re should not a faggot go ;it was r right, and they should have it." That unuontradietcd reply must have been in answer to something, and what that something was neither appears from the affidavit of the witness, or was not disclosed by Pratt. Ile was the instigator of all the original mischief, destruction, and plunder, and on the 14th he was found in the wood amidst the plunder, avowing that he, the friend of the poor,, did riot attempt to stop it. If further proof were wanting of the participation of Pratt in the present outrage, it, was only necessary for him to read a !etter he bad addressed to Lord Abingdon,the Lord Lieutenant of the County of Berks. That letter was to the following effect :—" My Lord 7 -,.1t is with the greatest pleasure and satisfaction that 1 can inform your Lordship that we have put a stopper on the President and Scholars of St. John's College, from robbing you of your manor, and the commoners of their common of Bagley. The greatest praise is due to your keeper, Mr. Barrett, for his determined and manly con duct to protect your Lordship's rights. As to Duffield, Spinton, Esq., and the Rev. Dodson, they did all in their power, as well as Curtis the town-clerk, to further the liisbes of the College to establish the land to be the whole and sole p roperty o f t h e C o ll ege , an d D o d son said a good title was made out to sell it to the Duke of Wellington, but all their eloquence was a feather to balance the globe com pared with Mr. Frankum, of Abingdon.

I have a petition preparing by Mr. Frankum, who told me he will be bound to lose his life if he doth not recover it. Their principal evidence says he swore false on the trial ; and flayward, of Hunksey, said on his oath, on Monday last, which Mr. Barrett heard, that the Judge that tried the cause said, when the verdict was given, Gentlemen of the Jury, You have given away the rights of the poor. I beg, my I .4)rd, you'll n o t i n f or m Mr. W a l s h anyt hi ng on t h e subject, as ho is sure to inform the College agent. The letter I sent Mr. Barr att, last year, he took a copy of, and 'showed it to Mr. Murrell. M. told me he had seen it, and named the contents. I say now, my Lord, as I said then, I'll never strike to those black tyrants as long as I have a llbot in the locker. I beg your Lordship to excuse my blunt address, as I was not educated at St. John's College; but I ought t o ass i st not to di stress t h e poor. When the copies of the petition are printed I will take the liberty of sending you one, which I hope will be in a few days. I rtm, my Lord, .your Lordship's obedient servant, • " TIIOS. PRATT. " Oxfqrd, Aug. 21. Lord Abingdon, Witham." On the whole, the Learned Counsel submitted that he was entitled to do oader, under all the circumstances, for tho committal of Pratt. Mr. WAKEFieui and Mr. RANDALL, on behalf of Mr. Pratt, submitted that nothing whatever had been brought before the Court thet could justify the assertions that had been made, that he was the instigator of the whole of the disturbance that had taken place. Mr. KNIGHT BRU CE re pli e d, an d The VICE-CHANCELLOR immediately gave judgment, ordering that Mr. Pratt should stand committed to the Meet, for a breach of the injunction of the Court. 'EEN'S BENCH, FEB. 8. PALMER V. BROOKS. The plaintiff in this case is a cowkeeper in the Borough, and the defendant the keeper of a beer-shop at Shirley. The action was brought to recover compensation in damages for the injury which the plaintiff had sustained i❑ consequence of the negligence of the defendant. It ap peared that on the 26th April the plaintiff and his brother Went in a chaise to Shirley, and started back about nine o'clock in the evening. After they had proceeded about 200 yards, the chaise came in contact with a waggon which was standing on the road opposite the house of the defendant, and the plaintiff was thrown to the ground with great violence and was unable to atttend to his business for two or three weeks afterwards. Mr. C. JONES appeared for the plaintiff ; Mr. PLATT and Mr. CtIANN ELL for tho defendant. Th© Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Da roagea, U. COMMON PLEAS, FEB. 8. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Mr. Justice COLTMAN and a Common Jury, at Westminster.) FALSE IMPRISONMENT.—RICTIARDS V. STEBBING. This was one of those cases which have lately become vet) nume,rous, of actions for imprisonment.undcr false Char g es of felony. Sergeant WILDE and Mr. BARSTOW were for the plain tiff, and 'Sergeant BOMPAS for the defendant. It app eare d f r om th e ev id ence, t h at i n October, 1837, the parties were at the Surrey Zoological Gardens, on the exhibition of the eruption of Mount Vcsu 'line- The defendant having lost a pair of gloves, and suspecting that plaintiff had them, gave him i n c h arge policeman, by whom he was searched, but nothing was '° 1 .4.4d upon him which ho defendant could claim. H e 1 / 4 8 , however, taken to the-station-house in Lock's-fields. un the policeman writing the charge defendant refused to ilia it, A. discussion then arose as to whether the charge was to De De given i n evidence, Sergeant Wilde contending that it lel"! not be e v id ence aga i nst t h e d e f en d ant, h e rot n " lnd g Signed it. S ergeant B ompas, on the other hand, fg e re.ci that the charge only was any evidence, and re Tded his L or d s hi p that the other day he had received th e c h arge in evidence. To which the Learned J udge replied, that in th at case the defendant had signed thz charge, and his Lo r d s hi p now refused to allow the chug° t o b e put in. }vidcnce for the plaintiff continued.—At the station house defendant stated thathe was standing by the beast house ; that no other person but the plaintiff and a younger man (his son) were by him at the time ; that he felt some thing at his pocket, and on looking saw plaintiff's hand there, and immediately found he had lost his gloves. He spoke to a policeman, who said be had considered plaintiff's conduct suspicious, and defendant then gave bim in custody ; plaintiff was detained till next morning, when he was brought before the Magistrates at Union-Hall, as on a charge of felony the policeman could never discharge a person before he had been brought before a Magistrate. Plaintiff and his son were locked up all night. On cross-examination it came out that a po.icema r,wno took plaintiff into custody, signed the charge ; that when a charge of felony was made, which the party making it did not press, the person charged was dismissed, unless other evidence was brought forward, in which case the charge was signed by the person producing that additional evidence. _ _ . That policeman being called, stated that he had signed the charge, because, though Stebbing refused to sign it, he said that he still believed the plaintiff had stolen his gloves. But the witness admitted that he himself, from his obser vation, had felt suspicion. The plaintiff it appeared was a person of high and re spectable position in society—being an engineer and ma chinist. Sergeant BOMPAS for the defence, argued that the de fendant was not liable for the detention of the plaintiff, be cause he refused to sign the charge at the station-house, and called witnesses who proved that the defendant ex pressly had said that he could not charge the plaintiff, as the gloves were not found upon him—whereupon the po liceman said they did not doubt but that the plaintiff was no better than he should be, and that he would be heard of in the course of the night. Plaintiff declared that defendant should hear from him for that—he would enter an action against him. To which the policeman rejoined, that he never heard a thief who did not say the same thing.— (Laughter. ) Sergeant WILDE made a most able reply, stating that defendant had in fact greatly aggravated his original of fence by adopting a course of examination which tended to cast insinuation on the plaintiff, and contending that the defendant was clearly liable for the arrest, because it had not been contradicted that he had asserted to the police man that plaintiff he believed had stolen his gloves. Mr. Justice COLTMAN told the jury that the rule of law was, that a person who suspected another of felony would not be liable for that party's arrest, by merely communicat ing to an officer his suspicions, even if that officer did take the party into custody. But he would be liable if he de sired the officer to take the party into custody, and the sus picion turned out to be groundless. It was for the jury to say if they believed the defendant had desired the officer to take plaintiff into custody, and if so, what damages should be given. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 201. The parties, after some consultation, agreed to take a verdict for 40s. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY,-EVENING EDITION,-FEBRUARY 9, 1839 COURT OF EXCHEQUER, FEE. 8. ( Sittings at Nisi Prins, before Lord &INGER and a Special Jury.) COYLE V. WOODLEY. The pleadings were opened by Mr. BARSTOW. Mr. THESIGER stated the case. It was an action upon a bill of Exchange for 1501., and had it been an ordinary case he would have contented himself with proving the hand- writing; but as they were made aware of the nature of the defence, as they were aware that the hand-writing was denied, it was necessary for him to state some of the details of the case to the Jury. The bill was drawn by a Mr. Lawrance, who was a brother of Mrs. Woodley, the defendant. It appeared that Lawrance had been a man of property, but unfortunately he had fallen into dissipated habits, and had been often in the habit of being ac commodated by his sister with bills of exchange. It was feared that he had made a bad use of the privilege and was now out of the country. Now, every one would feel for a lady called upon improperly to pay for the ex travagance and crimes of another, even though a near re lation ; and unless he could prove clearly from peculiar cir cumstances that it was accepted in the hand-writing of the defendant, of course the Jury would give her the benefit of such a feeling. He would show that Mr. Lawrance, being well acquainted with Mr. Peinter, the son of the well known glover in Fleet-street, and being in difficul ties, in the latter end of Aug ust last, asked that y o u ng gentleman to go down to Bath and see his sister, in order to induce her to accommodate him with her acceptance to the bill in question. Mr. Peinter went down to Bath and by Laysrance's directions, went to 18. Pork-street, and inquired for Mrs. Woodley. He was not acquainted with the lady, but he was shown up to the drawing• room, where he saw a lady, who said her name was Mr-. Woodley. lie gave her a letter from her brother, enclosing the bill ; at first she refused to accept it, but on Mr. Peinter, ac. cording to his instructions, saying Lawrance was in diffi culties, and the want of money would prove his ruin, she took the bill into an adjoining room, and in two or three minutes returned with it accepted, and at the same time said she hoped it would be honoured when due, and that she would not be troubled with it. Ail this would be proved by Mr. Pcintcr, and he would call the banker of the lady who would prove the hand-writing, but he would do more as he would prove that the lady resided at the place named by Mr. ['ender. The bill had been paid to a Mr. Pitcher, and went from his hands to Sir. Coyle ; there was no question raised as to his being a holder for a valuable con sideration. If he succeeded in proving these facts, he had no doubt of obtaining the verdict of the jury. Mr. Pcintcr proved the facts as stated by Mr. Thesiger. In his cross-examination by Mr. KELLY, he said ho had not resided with his father fur near two years. His uncles and father had a variance, he sided with his uncles, and his father said he had better go to them. They made him a monthly allowance. lie had never been charged with purloining any of his father's money while he served in the shop. He had been in Kingston gaol for one day, on a charge of stealing a lady's chain. The charge was by a policeman, and lie was not supported—the Ma gistrate at once discharged bins. He bad known Lawrance for 15 or 16 months, but knew nothing of his going abroad. He received none of the money, except six pounds for his expences to Bath. Mr. Faulkner, a banker, in Bath, said the defendant dealt with their house. The signature to the bill he be lieved to be in her band-writing. He would have paid a cheque with such a signature. By a Juryman— Would have paid the bill had it been presented to him. Mr. KELLY then addressed the jury for the defendant. He said it was one of a most serious and distressing nature to the defendant, who was a lady advanced in years, the widow of a late attorney-general for St. Kitt's, and but slenderly provided for. His Learned Friend had dealt too leniently with the crimes of Lawrance. It was true, he bad become much involved ; he had for a long time been assisted by the defendant, even far beyond prudence should have dictated; however, long before the period in question, she had:refused further assistance, and the consequences were soon seen, for it soon became known that he had forged to a frightful extent upon his sister, upon his solicitor, and a number of other parties; he had obtained what he could from his crimes, and fled to America, where probably he would end his guilty days. The question was not whether the forgery was a good imitation or not, and therefore he had good reason to complain of his Learned Friend, for until that young man Peinter was put into the box, they had never seen him or heard of his name in any way con nected with the case. His father all of them knew to be not only respectable, but an opulent man ; but the account the young man gave of his manner of life did not give him much credit before a jury, especially when he came to give such an account of a strange story—to tell such an impro bable tale. What influence was a young man like him, a perfect stranger, to have over the defendant ? Why did not Lawrance go down himself He would call witnesses to prove the improbability of the whole story. He would show that Lawrance was in gaol up to the 27th of August ; was it likely, then, that he was to come out, and immediately send off to Bath for such a purpose ? He would also prove that upon no occasion except one bad she ever put her name to a bill for her brother, and that was upon one occasion after she had assisted him with money, as far as she could. Peinter's story was altogether a sur prise upon them, and quite improbable; for while Law rance was in prison he wrote in great distress, and then the defendant made a promissory note for 1551. This was in August. TIIESIGER objected to his Learned Friend making such a statement, as it could not be put in evidence. Lord ABINGER could not see how it was possible to dis prove handwriting by improbabilities. Mr. KELLY bowed to his Lordship's decision. Pein ter's story was an after-thought, for before the bill be came due, Coyle came down to Bath, and asked whe ther the bill was genuine, and he was then told it was a forgery. If Peinter's story was true, what need for such a journey. He would lay his evidence before the Jury, and he had no doubt in a case at once of so much consequence, and yet so painful, they would give it every consideration. They were well aware that members of one family often wrote a similar handwriting, and he was afraid they must find that this was the forgery of the brother. A verdict against her would ruin her, for there were many other bills. She had hitherto held an honest character, and if they found against her they would stigmatize her as trying to relieve herself by charging her brother with the commis sion of an almost capital offence. Ile then called Eliza Lawrance, the sister of the defendant, who was examined by Mr. BAILEY. She deposed to Coyles' visit, and the information he received of the bill being a forgery. Coyle said he did not think her brother would have so deceived him. Her sister received a letter from her bro ther, dated 23d August, and•between that time and the Ist September no one called upon her sister with a letter from London. She did not know tiny one of the name of Pein ter. The acceptance to the bill had a very strong resem blance to her sister's handwriting, but it certainly was not. A person might be deceived by it. Cross -examined—It was not written so free and easily as her sister wrote. It was more studied. A number of cheques which were produced by Mr. Faulkner, were folded up so as to expose only the signature, and so put into the hands of the witness. She did not believe any of them were in the handwriting of the defendant. Mr. Jeffrey, a cler'i in the house of Jays and Smith, who were solicitors for Lawrance. Ile was arrested and was in custody, from the 22d August until the 27th. The debt was 135/. William NP.Malion had known the defendant 15 y ears. flad had many opportunities of knowing her handwriting. The signature to the bill was not his. Cross-examined.—Had not seen her writing for more than five or six yearP. The last before that was five or six years before. . _ _ Mr. KELLY proposed to prove that a number of forgeries were committed about this time by Lawrance. His Loansme did not see that it was evidence in the cause, and rejected it. Mr. Layton, an inspector of franks at the Post-office, had seen the bill in question. Mr. KELLY—From your knowledge, is the signature to that acceptance genuine or not ? Mr. TIIESIGER objected, and His Lonnsnte, after hearing the counsel on both sides, held the objection to be valid, but he would admit it at the defendant's risk. Mr. KELLY would not press the evidence after his Lord ship's expressed opinion. Mr TIIESIGER then put in the cheques which had been seen by Mist-Lawrence. Mr. KELLY and Mr. TIMMER then severally addressed the Jury. His LORDSHIP summed up, and the Jury, after com paring the cheques with the signature to the Bill, and consulting for a quarter of an hour, begged leave to retire to consider their verdict. After being out for about a quarter of an hour, the Jury returned with a verdict for the plaintiff.—Damages, 150/. CRIMINAL COURT, FEB. 8. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Sergeant ARABIN. ) Mary Lewis, 23, was indicted for having on the sth of January, in the parish of St. Pancras, fraudulently obtained a number of sheets, table linen, and other articles, the pro perty of Mr. Wrn. liodgens. She was sentenced to be transported for seven years. (Before Mr. Justice VAUGHAN, and Mr. Justice WILLIAMS.) THE FATAL DUEL ON WIMBLEDON COMMON. Edward Delves Broughton, 21, surrendered to an in dictment, which charged him with having on the 22d of August, aided and abetted one Francis Lionel Elliot, in killing and slaying Chas. Flower Mirfin, in a duel. The prisoner, on his being arraigned said, that he could not deny that he was present on the unfortunate occasion named in the indictment, and it only remained for him to plead guilty. Mr. CLARKSON addressed the Court at great length in mitigation of punishment, on the ground that there was a person not in custody, of more experience, deeply con cerned in the transaction, and that the prisoner exerted himself, after the discharge of the first shot, to bring about a reconciliation, but unhappily without effect. Mr. CHAMBERS, for the prosecution, said that the friends of the deceased were bound to take the present proceed ings ; at the same time they were perfectly satisfied that the prisoner had not taken so active a part as others who might have prevented the fatal occurrence taking place, and who were, if possible, more responsible than the pri soncr at the bar. He therefore was instructed to say that the prosecutors entertained no hostile feelings against the prisoner, and they expressed themselves anxious to pray the Court for a mitigation of punishment. Mr. Justice VAUGHAN then addressed the prisoner in the most impressive manner, adverting in strong terms on the conduct of the persons in whose power it was to have inter fered in preventing the death of Mr. Mit fin. He had looked into the depcsitions, and it appeared to him that the Learned Counsel, who addressed the Court in mitigation of punishment, had not overstated the facts, and being the Judge who unhappily had tried two other prisoners for the same offence, he was of opinion, from all the circumstances of the case, and from what appeared on the depositions, that the prisoner at the bar was made an instrument of others, and in point of fact, his conduct as a second was entirely superseded by an individual who had given evi dence on the former trial, and whose activity on the occa sion drew down, and deservedly the animadversions of the Jury and the Court. His Lordship concluded by ordering sentence of death to be recorded, and that be felt it to be his duty to lay the case before the proper authorities, with a recommendation in favour of the prisoner. _ John Billl,a fine young man, aged 23 years, was indicted for the manslaughter of William Rushbrook, by stabbing him with a knite, on the 18th of January last. Mr. PAYNE, with Mr. BELL, conducted the prosecu tion, and Messrs. Pitmurs, BODKIN, and CLaaKsoN ap peared fur the prioner. Mr. PAYNE, having stated the case to the Jury, called witnesses. The evidence against the prisoner was then given at considerable length, but as it has appeared in the reports of the Coroner's Inquest, and the examination before tee Magistrates, it is needless to repeat it. The case for the prosecution having closed, Mr. PHILLIPS addressed the Jury for nearly two hours. And at the con clusion of his speech, which made a great impression on a crowded Court, several respectable perzons bore testimony to the humane and excellent character of the prisoner, some of whom had known him from childhood, and they con sidered him to be of a quiet, kind-hearted, and peaceable disposition. One of the witnesses said he observed several gentleman in Court, who had come forward to express themselves in similar terms respecting the general conduct of the prisoner ; but the Court considered their testimony unnecessary, as a sufficient number of gentlemen had already been examined, who left nothing in their power undone to serve the prisoner. Mr. Justice VAUGHAN summed up, recapitulating th• evidence minutely as he proceeded. The Jury then retired, and after an absence of an hour and a half brought in a verdict of Guilty, at the same time recommending the prisoner most strongly to mercy upon the grounds that he had committed the act under the ap prehension of personal violence. Mr. Justice VAUGHAN said he would attend to the re commendation-, and would take into consideration such a mitigation as would answer the ends of justice. The trial occupied the Court from half-past ten in the morning until half-past nine at night. NEW COURT. ( Before Mr. Sergeant ARABIN. ) M. A. Waters, an interesting looking girl, aged 19, was indicted for stealing 51 cigars, the property of I. Farringdon Peters, her master, and IVilliant Broadtvat,r, 26, a druggist, was indicted for feloniously receiving the same, well knowing them to have been stolen. Mr. RYLAND conducted the prosecution, and Mr. CHAM BERS appeared for the prisoners. Cornelius Murray, a constable of the E division, stated, that on the morning of the Bth January, while on duty in Marchmont-street, where the prosecutor carries on his business, he saw the male prisoner receive two small parcels from a girl, which he instantly put into his pocket. On being banded the parcels by the other prisoner, wit ness went up and told him he was in custody, and he should go with him to the station-house ; and when on the way he offered him all the money he had if he would set him at liberty, but he refused, and after leaving him locked up he returned to the prosecutor's house, and after acquainting him of the circumstance he took the female prisoner into custody. The male prisoner did not mention that he was going by coach to Bristol the next morning. _ _ _ Mr. Peters proved that the female prisoner lived with him about three weeks, and he had received a good cha racter with her from the male prisoner, in Brown-street, Bryanstone-square, who told him she had lived with his mother eighteen months at Vauxhall. When witness at tended at the station-house the male prisoner pressed him not to prosecute for the sake of his mother, and the female prisoner prayed of him to forgive "James." Mary Sharpe, 10, Joiner street, Westminster-road, proved that the prisoners came to look at a room to let, which they took, and lived together as man and wife, under the name of Brown. They remained only two months ' and the female left a weak before her companion. Jane Charlotte Snow, of the Vauxhall-road, knew the prisoners, who lived in the opposite house. He carried on the business of chemist and druggist, and the female ap peared to be his servant, but there were familiarities ob served to pass between them. Inspector Campbell, who apprehended the male prisoner in Clifton, deposed that he did not deny having received the cigars, but he did not think they had been stolen. Cross-examined.—When Broadwater was examined eforo the Magistrate he was discharged out of custody. Mr. CHAMBERS addressed the Jury at some length for the prisoner Broadwater, contending that his discharge before the Magistrate ought to be final. Mr. GAZELEE, for the other prisoner, submitted that the male prisoner saying he had received the cigars from the other prisoner, ought not to weigh with the Jury, as it was not evidence, nor was there any that she handed the property to him. Several witnesses as to character on the part of Broad water gave evidence, and the other prisoner also received an honest character. The Learned' SERGEANT having summed up, the Jury retired for a short time, and returned a verdict of Acquittal for the male prisoner, but found the other prisoner Guilty. The Court sentenced her to three months' imprisonment. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. B 0 W. STREET. - William Humphries proprietor of the Elysium Supper Rooms, Bridges•street, Stranl, was yesterday summoned before Sir F. ROE, by Wyatt, the common informer, for having unlawfully kept open his room between the hours of one and five o'clock in the morning, :not being duly li censed to sell spiritous liquors. Henry Moore, a hired witness, proved that, on Sunday the 3d inst., he went :to the rooms which are kept by the defendant, at 12 o'clock, where he was served with a mut ton chop and ginger beer, for which he paid Is. 6d. He remained until a quarter past two o'clock, and on his re turn he was served with negus. The defendant was in the room all the time, giving directions to tho waiter. The defendant observed that he know the witness had gone by another name. Sir F. ROB said that such a circumstance did not affect his testimony, unless be bad been convicted of perjury. John Reece, a waiter, deposed that he was in the ser vice of a person named Harvey, and not in that of the defendant, whose business was only to superintend the rooms. . Sir F. ROE inquired if the police were in the habit of visiting the rooms, as frequent complaints had been made of disorderly persons frequenting them. Mr. Inspector Meddlicot replied that he had frequently gone there in the morning, but he never witnessed any disorderly conduct. Sir F. Ros said the police had a right to prevent such places being kept open at improper hours, and such a practice should be put a stop to in future. The defendant was then fined in a mitigated penalty of .5/., with costs. MARY LEBONE. It will be remembered that on Thursday last the wife of a respectable tradesman, named Jones, residing in Exeter street, Marylebone, was committed from this office for trial, on the charge of having stolen a gow n - piece from the shop of a linen-draper in Portman Market, and that on being conveyed to her destination (Newgatc) in the prison van, she requested to be allowed to keep her infant child, which Sergeant Ryan, the conductor, refused to let her do, and repulsed her with much rudeness. Yesterday Mr. Hoskins, Lord Montford, and Mr. l'epys, investigated fully the particulars connected with the case, and after the examination of several witneEses, felt it their duty to reprimand the sergeant for his beha viour in the particular instance alluded to, at the same time advising him to curb his temper in future, on pain of being visited with the serious displeasure of them (the M aais trates), who would, in the event of any further complaint make a report thereof to the Police Commissioners, which in this instance they only refrained from doing in the hope that what already transpired would operate properly as a caution. Q UEEN- S QUA.RE. Two boys, named Connor and Selby, both notorious thieves, were brought up for re-examination upon a charge of picking the pocket of Artin, a Turk, who holds the situation of head cook in the establishment of Reschid Pasha, the Turkish Ambassador. The robbery took place on the day of the opening of Parliament. The prisoners were seen to take a handker chief from the coat-pocket of the prosecutor as he stood amongst the crowd in Parliament -street. Sergeant King, of the N division, who had witnessed the transaction, then apprehended the prisoners, who would have been com mitted for trial on the same day by Mr. White but that the prosecutor was incapable of speaking English, or in any way making himself understood. Yesterday Mr. Victor Salame, the Queen's Oriental Interpreter, attended, and made the ca se un d erstoo d t o Artin, who then very readily undertook to prosecute, and in his native tongue overwhelmed the police with thanks for taking care of his property. He was then sworn by the Testament, being an Armenian, and having furnished the necessary evidence, the prisoners were fully committed for trial. WORSHIP STREET. COMMON INFORMERS V. THE QUEEN. —Yesterday a tilted cart belonging to the Government Stationery Office, came to this office with a supply of station ery, and was afterwards waiting opposite the door, when Stowell, the common informer, came up, and after a little reconnoitring, sought out the driver, and took him into custody for driving a vehicle upon which there was not a proper description of the owner as required by the statute. An elderly man, who gave his name Moody, was ac cordingly brought before Mr. G ROVE, t h e s i tt i ng mag i strate. Stowell informed the Magistrate that he had shortly be fore stopped the defendant as driver of a van upon which there was no owner's name or addr ess , b ut mere l y an in scription painted on the side of the tilt, in the following words, viz.:—" Her Majesty's Stationery Office, James Street, Buckingham Gate, Westminster." This, he con tended, was certainly not a compliance with the Act of Parliament relating to such matters, in which there was an express regulation as to the inscriptions for carts, &e., be longing to people of rank. Mr. GROVE, alter some inquiry, said that, at present, he should not detain the defendant, but allow him to depart, and the infJrmer might have a summons again s t him. lie would then have an opportunity of bringing proof of the ownership.
