THB POLICE COURTS.

GUILDHALL.

=William Henry • r ploy of Mr. Steele,
of Cliancerylene, was charged with conspiring with • per-
son named Blount, not in custody, to defraud his :neater.
From the evidence of Mr. Nash, the manager of the
once, it appeared that the prisoner represented himself as
the clerk of Mr. Blount, and the latter as the proprietor of
the Patent-once in Chancery-lane ; and in that alleged
capacity received money fur taking out • patent for • new
paper-Batting machine, but no steps bad been taken appa.
ready in the matter.
The prisoner denied any fraudulent intention in ra-
ceiviag the money in question, ir representing Mr. Blount
as the proprietor of the Patent-office, and himself as his
sleek. The person who applied fur • patent was a client of
Blount's, and not Mr. Steele's, and, as • matter of con-
venience to the applicant, he received the guinea fee, and
forwarded it to Mr. Blount, who afterwards saw the gentle.
man en the subject.
Alderman Hooper said he could not Mir in the matter until
be had Blount before him, and as the prisoner had repre-
sented that person as a respectable civil engineer and patent
agent, residing at 19, Montague.plate, Ruuell-square, he
would remand the prisoner fur the attendance of Blount,
and take bail for the prisoner's appearance en Monday.
Michael i• Warp a/c/And Edward, hisses, were charged, the
former with committing • most barbarous and cruel assault
upon his wife in the hour of her confinement, 611 d in the
presence of the surgeon, and the latter with assaulting the
officer, and attempting a rescue of his father from the
oneer's custody.
Hodges, 119, said hews* called to Honeysuckle-court on
Saturday week last, to recants the prisoner, who was
drunk and assaulting his wife, as well as interfering with
the surgeon in the execution of his duties. In the morn-
ing the prisoner expressed great contrition for hie unnatural
conduct and was discharged by the inspector. On the
Friday night following, nix days after his wife's confine-
ment, the elder prisoner entered her room and dragging
her out of her bed, with only her night clothes to cover her,
thrust her oat of the room to seek a shelter for the night
where eke could, and on the °neer arriving at the haute,
he fogad the poor woman la a state of great debility,
covered only with • blanket, which eke bed borrowed to
protect her from discoid. He immediately procured an order
for her admission into the anion, bat she was in such a preca-
rious cone! ion in consequence of her husband's treatment,
that it was deemed extremely dangerous to remove her.
While taking Michael Fitsgereld into custody, the younger
prisoner attacked him is the dingy name staircase, and
caused him to sprain his allele.
The prisoner, Edward Fitsgerald, was sentenced to 14
days' imprisonment for his attack upon the officer, and the
father was remanded for the evidence of the leaven, and
that of the unfortunate woman, who is, at present, not in
• fit state to leave her bed.
CLERK EN WELL
Caroline Davis, • women well known to the polies, wan
charged by Mr. James Peters, • gentleman residing at 18,
Alblen-reed, Brighton, with robbing lam of his purse and
30 sovereigns.
The prosecutor, on the 8,.t examination of the &sensed,
said be was followed by the prisoner into a court in Hol-
born, where she thrust her hand into his tumors pocket,
and stole the property mentioned. He immediately seised
her, and while with her • man suddenly ease up, and
having received the plunder quickly disappeared fees the
place.
Mr. flower, • solicitor residing in the Old Jewry, repre-
sented to the magistrate that his client, tie prosecutor,
closed not appear again in the matter, and he suggested that
the prisoner us discharged.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said he would not consent to such an ex-
traordinary request, for he considered Mr. Peters was
bound, in justice to society, to go on with the ewe.
Mr. Mould, the chief clerk, mentioned that the attorney
had informed him that the prosecutor was meting ander his
advice not to appear there.
Solicitor—Mr. Peters will not prosecute.
Mr. Tyrwhitt, with indignouos, observed that It was
strange advice, indeed, for a solicitor to give. As •
barrister, be hid had a great deal of experience, and such
extraordinary conduct on the part of& professional man in
the law was new to him. Herr was • dangerous women—
• thief of lime stending—accused of • daring robbery, and
be believe justly so; and was she to escape, through idle
caprice or foolish advice, to answer before a jury of her
country ? She should not, if he could prevent it, and he
would therefore remand her for another week ; and if Mr.
Peters did not then come forward as a witness, means, very
likely, might be adopted to compel him.
