Mr. Witham said this was an extremely kind recommen-
dation on the part of the prosecutor and it had unques-
tionably saved the prisoner from a eent:nee of transporta-
tion, not because it appeared that he had been a victim to
betting offices, but because he had for many years been •
faithful servant. Any man who became connected with
these disgraceful places ought to be ashamed of himself,
and it gave a feature of aggravation, not of palliation, to en
offence. The sentence was that the prisoner be kept to
hard labour for one year.

l Isle of Wight, and on his return, on the Ist instant, he found
that the room had been broken into, eight of the boxes to
which the property bad been left had been broken open, a
large number of things bad been carried off, and the place
was all in confusion. At that time • policeman was in pos-

was in Mr. lindion's service up to within a few weeks ago
proved that when he locked up the stables end delivered the
keys to the housekeeper at Albert-gate the boxes appeared to
be quite safe and locked. On [rotor to the stable a fortnight

THB POLICE COURTS'.
MA24BION-HOUSIL
Thigh Coronaries Coisissan, of No. 31, Lincoln's-inn-
fields, was brought before the Lord Mayor en the eantedy of
Webb and Rowe, of the City detective police, upon the
'harp of having, to um the words of the warrant upon
which he was apprehended, " unlawfully, falsely end wil-
fully solemnly declared in writing baton William W.
Fenn. a notary public, that ho had sold, mortgaged,
or otherwise incumbered • certain property referred to in
the said declaration, or his separate interest therein, the
same being a material particular in the said declaration."
The following is a copy of the declaration alluded to in
the warrant:—"l, Hugh Cavendish Coleman, of No. 31,
Lincoln's-inn-fields, London, declare that the document
marked Y,' on which I have endorsed my initials, sets
forth the true and correct particulars of the property which
stands settled to the uses mentioned in the said settlement,
dated 14th September, 1814, and to one-fifth of which I
am entitled, expectant on the decease of my mother, to the
best of my knowledge and belief, and that the net annual
income of such property is not lees thus 4,501., as I verily
believe. I further in like manner declare that I have never
sold, mortgaged, or otherwise incumbered the said pro-
perty, or any said expectant interest therein; and that I
have been bankrupt, nor have I taken the benefit of
ane act for the relief of insolvent debtors, nor have I
assigned any property or effects for the benefit of my credi-
tors, and I make this solemn declaration.
" Hums CAVENDISH COLEMAN."
Mr. Nobler appeared for the prisoner.
Mr. John Shortt, clerk to Mr. 0. R. Dodd, jun., of New
Broad-street, solicitor, said, about the 4th of ?day, Mr.
Coleman, the prisoner, handed me the declaration, as one
which was required of him, upon an advance of money
being made to him, and I know that it is in his hand-
writing. I further state, that the declaration, in which it
is said that he never sold, mortgaged, or herwise in-
cumbered the property, is utterly false, for I
have seen a deed of the date of January,
1848, whereby he has assigned the said property
to secure the payment of an annuity therein-mentioned. I
have searched the proper office for registering judgments,
and have found several judgments which had been regis-
tered against the prisoner before the day on which ho made
the declaration, and I believe that these judgments are
charges and incumbrances affecting the property which he
declared he had not at all encumbered. I was also informed
that the above-mentioned deed is in force, as well as the
others which had been executed by Hugh Cavendish
Coleman.
The Lord Mayor (to the witness)—You are convinced
that this is his handwriting ?
Witness—l am.
The Lord Mayor—ls it your wish to have the cue, which
is a very serious and uncommon one, remanded ?
Witness—Yes. There are two other cases against the
prisoner, one of which is of still more serious importance.
The Lord Mayor—How much money do you accuse him
of having procured by means of the false declarations ?
Witness—He has in one case procured 40W , and in an-
other 3001.
The Lord Mayor—Do you believe, it more time be
allowed, that you will be able to produce additional evi-
dence ? _ . .

W —umainiy.
Webb (the detective alter) said that a remand for a week
until be neeseury.
Mr. Hobbs, did not object to the proposition for • re.
mend, bat loped that bail would be accepted.
The Lard Mayer—l cannot take bail in • remanded cue
of so mach consequence.
Mr. Shutt said there was a charge of forgery also against
five
airNewlebb said that a considerable sum of money had been
found in the prisoner's possession.
The Lord Mayor—The police must take care of that
money. If the charge should prove correct, that money
cannot be the prisoner's property.
The following is a copy of the document marked "Y"
alluded to in the declaration :
Present condition and rental of the property comprised
in the settlinnent. The shares in the water company men-
tioned in the settlement were sold In the year 1817, and
from the proceeds were purchased two houses In New
Norfolk-street, Stepney, London. The property in Wales
was also sold in 1842 (as mentioned in the note to the set-
tlement). The amount received was invested in the funds
producing stock to the amount of 1,2241. In the year 1848,
the stock was sold, and the proceeds, 1.3001., invested by
way of mortgage on freehold security. A schedule of the
property as it now stands, and rental, is subjoined.

The prisoner who said he would leave the case is the
hands of Mr. nobler, his solicitor, was then remanded.
Items, Steitithalt, a Herman, who was said to be pos.
seeped of considerable property, was charged by Mrs. Hole-
bach, the wife of a foreigner who has just left Loudon for
the gold fields of Australia, with having made an assault
with felonious intent upon her person. The case excited
mesh interest, and occupied the bench a couple of hours.
Mr. Solomon, attended for the defendant, whom he
stated to be a man of unquestionable respeetablility.
The prosecutrix, through an interpreter, said the de-
fendant aid I bad some conversation at my house
about a cigar shop which be wished me to take. I said that
more money than I could afford would be necessary, to
which ho replied that then would be no occasion for it.
He called soup, and he walked into the shop, from which
he followed me to the kitchen, where my bed was. I did
not know that he was in the room with me till, hearing a
slight noise, I turned round and found that he was stripping
himself. (Great laughter.) I asked him what he meant,
and ordered him out, but be proceeded to undress, sad he
then locked the door.
The Lord Mayor—And did all this take place without
any more ceremony ?
The preeecutriz—He said he came to me upon business,
and he was determined not to go away without doing it. I
was quite surprised at such conduct, and I threatened to
punish him severely, but he persevered, and I was obliged
to give a loud alarm. I bad a struggle with him, and I got
away, and succeeded in opening the door, at which a
gentleman who was passing by came in to my assistance.
He, however, escaped, but I afterwards had him appre-
hended. .

Polish Jew, the witness called by the proseentrit, said
