quantity of putrid meat which he had seized that morning,
sod which was then outride the court in a cab for his
worship's inspection. Mr. Yardley went to look at it, and
found it certainly in a most disgraceful state.
In reply to Mr. Yardley's questions,
Mr. Rowell mid there was 1341 b. weight of the meat
which had been seised at the shop of Mr. John Okes, re-
siding at No. 3. Cornwall-terrace.
Mr. Yardley—You can have the order by all means ; but
don't you want a summons ?
Mr.Bowell—At present we want to destroy the meat an

Order granted.
After the above application was disposed of, a gentleman,
addressing! his worship, said-1 want to ask your advice,
sir, as to what I ern to do. I have just come from Canada,

Mr. Yardley—What is the value of your luggage?
Applicant—Over 501.
Mr. Yardley—l have so power to assist where the amount
exceeds 151. You must bring an action of detest against
your landlord, which will be tried next term, union it ie

next.
Applicant asked if his worship would advise him to pay
the bill, but
Mr. Yardley said he had no jurisdiction, and applicant
had better use his own judgment.

Mr. Marian said—l have two hayricks in Wharm-lane,

when my men left this morning after milking at six o'clock.
Between nine and ten that morning, information was for-
warded to me that one of the ticks was on fire. Oa my
arriving there, I found it had been put out.
William Scott, • farm labourer in the employ. of Mr.
Bennett+, armer at Willesden, stated—This morn ag I was
"ditching" close by the rick, end the prisoner stood by the
side of me talking for near ups ball-an. hour. He eskedme
whose ricks they were, and I said they belonged to Mr.
Muncey. He then said, has be plenty of money? I mid,
I dare say be has enough to go on with.
Prisoner thee asked how many cowl he kept,
and I told him about fifty or sixty. The
rain coming on prisoner ran from me to the rick, observing
that he would seek shelter. He went to the side of the
rick, opposite to where the wind use blowing from. After
a short time be changed his position to the side of the rick
upon which the wind was blowing. I went to pat my wet
jacket into a stable, and on my return I saw the rick
smoking, and the prisoner running from it, and called out to
a man who was close by to catch the prisoner.
In reply to Mr. Yardley, witness said there was a pond
close by the rick, and they extinguished the fire by means
of buckets of miter.

tbrsatening to shoot Miss Louisa Weldon.
A professional gentleman attended on each side.
The complainant, • well-dressed young woman, stated
that she resided at No. 12, Park Cottages, liammenimith.
The defendant had been ip the habit of anroying her at her
house, and bad threatened and also struck her with •
whip. Oa the 15th of September she drove up with a
pony sod chaise, accompanied by her servant and a woman.
lifitnese's house is about seven yards from the road.
The defendant threw above a dozen stones at the house.
Witness waa in the garden when the defendant abused
her, and she went with her baby into the hurt
parlour. The defendant went into the front garden sod
commenced pulling tip the plants and evergreen.. She
next took up some stones and threw them at the windows,
one of which was smashed. She threatened witness with
a whip which' she carried in her hand, sod she also said
she had a pistol and would blow her brains out. The an-
noyance continued from half-paat six o'clock till half-past
10 o'clock at night. The defendant and the same two
females were at her house at half-past seven o'clock the
next morning. The defendant then stated that she would
murder her before she bad done with her. Witness nut for
a constable and gave her into custody, but she managed to
asrape. The witness also said she went in bodily fear of
the defendant.

In crossexamma ion, the complainant said she bad gone

road. Mr. Drincombe was living with bee. She became
acquainted with him casually at the Marylebone Theatre.

request. Mr. buncombe was the father of her child.
She bad never insulted the defendant, nor ever held up
her baby before her to annoy bar. Elba bad said to the
defendant " Look at the baby." She once put a broom
in the ground and told the defendant to walk to it. She
had been living with Mr. buncombe for three years.
For the defence it was stated that the defendant bad
been married 14 years, and a year end a half ago her husband
commenced absenting himself from bar home. She watched
him, and traced him from place to place, living with the
complainant. She had occasion to seek her husband
for maintenance, and the complainant insulted bar.
The defendant had not the slightest intention of
injuring the complainant. A settlement bad been prepared,
but not in accordance with the wishes of the defendant,
and the complainant had threatened to make her go into •
court for a divorce.

The defendant's servant was called to prove that a
pistol was never mentioned. The words the defendant used
were, " I have got a pop•gun."
Mr. Ingham was not satisfied with the defence, but
acquitted the defendant of any intention to blow out the
complainant's brains, as he did not believe she bad a pistol.
He: language under the circumstances was, likely to MUM
alarm, and he called upon her to find one surety in 201. to
keep the peace for three months.
The necessary bail was forthwith produced.

SOUTHWARK.
Mrs. Caroline Collier, the wife of the landlord of the
Golden Lion public-house, Bent-street, Southwark, was
summoned before Mr. Combo for unlawfully and knowingly
receiving from Michael Clancy. • private soldier of the 3rd
Buffs, two medals for service in the field.
Captain Boa' of the 3rd Buffs, was present on behalf of
the crown ; and Mr. W. Edwin appeared for the defendant.
Mr. Combs observed that he bad • similar case before him
on Saturday, wherein he had convicted a publican in the
sum of 101.
Captain Roe informed his worship that on Saturday the
husband of the presmt defendant was convicted of receiving
Use China medal, and knowing that his wife bad re-
ceived the Crimean and Turkish =dela the present pro-
' cesdinge were taken. It was chiefly through the exertions
of detwetive officers Pitchman, City police, and Cum, of
the ki division, that the miming medals were traced, opine-
uuently great credit was due to them. It was however of
the utmost importance that the public, more especially
licensed victuallers, should know the serious consequences of
receiving soldiers' medals.
Michael Clancy, a private of the 3rd Buffs, stationed at
the Tower of London, said he knew the defendant. He
was at her husband's house on the evening of the 18th, end
spent all hie motley in drink. He afterwards left his two
medals with her for money and drink. Ons wee • Turkish
and the other nu • Crimean medal.
►

In mass-examination by Mr. Edwin, he said that he
risked Ma. Collier to keep his medals as security, sa he
wanted mare beer and tobacco. He knew that he was
doing wrapg at the time, but he had en idea that be should
be able to get them back before the capesio discovered
the lass.
Mr. Edwin, on behalf of the defendant, hoped his worship
would consider that her husband was on Saturday fined
Ilk ss. 6d. for a similaroffetice, which he unknowingly com-
mitted. The wife soled under the orders of her husband,
and in fact was entirely unacquainted with the mutiny
laws which convicted her husband; therefore he hoped
hie worship would dismiss the oomplaint, as the medals
were given up.
Mr. Combs observed that the great object of the present
prosecution was to prevent publicans receiving medals from
soldiers for the future. The 3rd Buffs was the oldest
regiment in her Majesty's service, had been in more
battles, and seen more bardabspe be believed, Mae any of
her Majesty's regiments, and the men held an extraordinary
number of medalslt was annoying to the comumading
officer when as parade to see his am without their medals ;

It was, therefore, neeemary that something should be dons
in the matter to cheek it. He could do no Use than five
