THE POLICE COURT&

GUILDHALL.
Ferdinand Arthur Newnan, lately carrying on business
in Peochurch-street, in the name of De Nltolllllll and Co.,
was brought up on remand before Alderman Begley, charged
with conspiring with a man named Pearson, of Noble-
street, to defraud Mr. Walton a woollen mufacturer, of
Bradford, in Yorkshire, of goOda to the valuean of 1,0001. and

upwards..
Mr. Hemp, instructed by Mr. Beard, conducted the de-
fence ; Mr. Metcalfe, instructed by Mr. Albert Toner, ap-
peared for the prosecution.
In the absence of witnesses in this case further proceed-
ings were postponed for the present, and a second charge
was entered upon relative to a fraud alleged to have been
committed upon a Mr. Chancey, through the medium of the
prisoner and a man personating the well-known manufac-
turer of Eau de Cologne, Johan Marie Farina.
The prisoner then, in a most excited manner, asserted that
was innocent of the charges made against him.
It was stated that there was a bill of indictment upon the
files of the Central Criminal Courtto which the prisoner had
never appeared to answer.
The prisoner, who denied that there was any truth in it,
was again remanded.
Mr. James Phipps, of 36, Lower Belvave-street, was
summoned before Alderman Hale for assaulting Mr. Thomas
Nicklinson, a salesman in Neweste-market ; and there was
also SWOP summons against Mr. Nieklinson for abusive
and threatening language towards Mr. Phipps,
Mr. Sleigh (instructed by Mr. Pearce, the solicitor to the
Butchers' Association) attended for Mr. Nicklinson ; and
Mr. George Lewis, jun., appeared oil behalf of Mr. Phipps.
After hearing evideece,
Alder.nan Hale said there were times when it became an
unpleasant duty for a magistiate to give decisions on cer-
tain subjects—and this was one of them. When the former
complaint was before him two or three weeks ago be cau-
tioned the market people that they would find the law too
strong for them; that they had better let bygones be
bygones, and transact their budness with Mr. Phipps with
that harmony which would be conducive to the interests of
all. He had cautioned them that the systematic annoyance
of Mr. Phipps, and the combination to prevent him buying
meat in the market, amounted to conspiracy in law, and he
had hoped that that caution would have had its effect, and
that he should have heard no more of the matter. Mr.
Phipps might have acted, as 11r. Sleigh called it, as an
amateur informer ; and it seemed that in his case be had
good cause for doing so. His conduct throughout had been
extremely creditable to him, and entertaining that opinion,
he should fine Mr. Nicklinson 40s. and costs, and in doing
so warned the butchers of the market that if they continued
to molest Mr. Phipps their next appearance would be at
the Central Criminal Court, on a charge of conspiracy.
IiIARYLEBONS.
George Limes, a tell, powerful-looking fellow, was charged
on remand with brutally assaulting and robbing Mr. Wood-
ward, assistant to Messrs. Egleee and Thomas, jewellers,
136, Oxford-street, on the night of the 13th ult., in Mait-
land-park-villas, Haverrtock-hill.
Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, appeared
for the prisoner.
The prosecutor still adhered positively to his opinion that
the prisoner was the man who attacked him, and the pri
eoner's employer having spoken to his former good charac-
ter, several witnesses were ogled with a view of proving an
alibi, and the prisoner was mein remanded.
