of wounding with intent to murder.

Mr. Ballen tine applied foe the postponement of the trial
lie said that the prisoners were nnprovided with the Mean
of defending themselves, and he only now appeared on their
behalf, in consequence of a letter which a lady residing Is
the neighbourhood had done him the honour to writs
to bins, and he really believed from the facts that 111111
stated to him, that some of the prisoners had nothing what.
ever to do with the traseeetioe, and that if time were
afforded, witnesses could be brought forward who would
prove that fast.

THE POLICE COURTS.
THIS DAY.

BOW-STREET.
THE CABB OP BTZLHAN AND CO.
Sir John Dean Paid was brought up this morning frail
the House of Detention, to be admitted to bail.
Mr. Humphreys, the solicitor for the prosecution,
'n-
formed the magistrate (Mr. Henry) that he was perfectly
satisfied with the names of the gentlemen tendered as bail.
They were Mr. Thomas Graham, of Reading, and Mitre-
court-chamber,, Temple; and Mr. John Woodhall, coach
builder, of 28, Orchard-street, Portman-square.
The usual formal questions having been put 03 the ba",
they were bound over in 3,0001. each, and Sir John Paul
having entered into his personal reognizances for 8,0001.,
war set at liberty, and left the court with his friend..
Mr. Henry expressed a hope that all the parties in the
case would be present at the next examination, in order
that some arrangement might be effected , by which the as
should be adjourned over until a future day, when it weabl
be finally disposed of. Now that all the prisoner. had sao-
waded in getting bail, it would be competent to the magis-
trate to remand the inquiry for • greater period than •
week ; and it would be especially desirable for the coarse-
once of the hail, that some such a course should be adopted-
Mr. Humphreys quite coincided in the suggestion of the
court, and would give a!1 the assistance in Fs power to have
it carried out.

TIE BRAY ATTORNEY.

The voting man, Browse, who was remanded from last
Friday, upon a charge of having defradded several partic;
by gettlag employment as an attorney to sue for debts
the County Court, was brought up for farther rxamiaation.
It appeared that there were several new cams wind the
prisoner, who had carried on the practice for some time
past with a degree of success wholly um:countable.
Mr. Frederick Molen,:tandlord of the Crown and Cushion,
Parker-street, Drury-lane, proved that he was introdnmid to
the prisoner by some one who used his house, and be em-
ployed hfmt to proceed with an action in the County Court
against a person named Harrison, who owed kill
some money. He paid the. prisoner several aux I
in advance, to defray cost., and was assured that he
would be spared all further trouble is the matter. Ho
found sabgequently, however, that be had really dons no-
thing in the matter except pocket the fees himself.
Mr. Henry said this case must also go to the Session;
and it was accordingly added to the depositions.

The prisoner uid then was no objection to a man acting
without being an attorney, in cues where there wt no op-
titian to the suit.

Mr. Henry—He would not be pertnittel If known to the
judge.

Prisoner—lt is done every d►y.
Mr. Henry—Then the preens* ought to be made known
for leis altogether illegal and improper.

The prisoner was *gain remanded.
