Mr. Neill appearr--tioX-I;h:liui the dni;adant, who is a
Ramjet& subject, and applied for a rale to show cause
why • commission should not inn' to examine witnesses
at Odessa. He stated that the actioa was founded upon •
contract for the leading of a vessel; and as the facts in gon-
dola bad occurred at Odessa it was important for the de-
fendast's ease that there should be • commission to examine
whammies at that saco.
Mr. Jostles Croswell—Have you any instate, of a swa-
nked= to 'amine witnesses is an enemy's country
Mr. think then is no such caw.
The Chief Justiee—l took care to evades your attorney
sot to commit high
_tresses, and I said that I would net
take any part in hoWlag intercoms with as alias enemy;
het perhaps the ima.t will grant you • rule, it you will go
with the commission yourself. (A laugh.)
Mr. Bosill deellued dotes so, but 'Omitted that asoord-
ing to the authorides, an alien enemy was at liberty to Ale
• bill of discovery, end that the courts 'mid lend him
their assistance is any we where his istereets were affected.
The Chief J patios said that the gentleman who come
before him was tyke aware of the difficulty of the case, and
he (the Chief Aloha) thought that the better way was to
delay the matter for two or three months, to see whether
anythiag favourable would happen; but he was afraid it was
of no use taking that course now.
lle. Hoeft( thought that delay might still be useful, for
it often happened that when • rule of this kind was pending,
the parties agreed to disposs of the matter by making ad-
elm.

The Chief Jusdoe said that the matter was no doubt one
that ought to b• discomod, and therefore there must be a
sale to show caw.—Rule grimed.

At the conclusion of the argument, the court held that

THE POLICE COUR,

OUILDRALL.
ANA Sauk who was &sewed a sheet time ego with
totting fire to her master's house, was brought up for flail
szanunation relative to that charge.
Evidsnee was given to the effect that part of the clothing
which was found on fire in the house, had been saturated
with a spirituous entrant of ginger, which being slaty over
proof was of a very ioluantable nature. A model of the
house ingeniously constructed by Sergeant Fouleer. 89,
was also produced to show the danger in which the children,
who were asleep is en upper room, were placed, and the
impoesibility of their lives being saved bad not the firs
been disowned so soon.
The deposidons having been completed Mr. Toole, the
mooed assistant clerk, reed them over to the prisoner,
who declared her innocence, and she was then folly com-
mitted for trial.
BOW-STREET.
. . .

Mr. T. B. barrister,Brierley TFWarwick court, Gray's.
inn. attended to prefer a complaint against Micheal Do-
novan, an Irish labourer, for annoying him and inciting
others to hoot and follow him in the public streets.
Elearcely a month has elapsed, for some time past, without
a similar appeal to the Bow-street magistrata on the part
of the complainant, and several men sad boys have been
fined or committed in default for ridiculing him. It is
necessary to state that the personal appearance of Mr.
Morley, in consequence of the extraordinary profusion of
white hair which extends from his upper lip to his chest,
attracts the notice of most people and the derision of many
while some of the uneducated classes are in the habit of
giving audible esprearlea to their opinions upon the subject,
in a manner offensive to his feelings. On these occasions
the complainant, being of a sensiive disposition, has gene-
rally provoked additional notios by pursuing his attics'
assailants with a large stick ; the sequel being the appro.
Mission of one or other of the offenders—usually the wont
, by a policescionstable, acting upon Mr. Brierlsy's
authority.
The complainant, in • speech of nearly an hour's dura-
tion, described the persecution to which he had been so long
exposed, and stated, with reference to the present charge,
that he was walking along Hollsore in a peaceable mariner
between seven and eight o'clock on Tuesday evening, when
a little boy insulted him by drawing his hand over his
beardless chin, vial e some other vulgar, low-minded per-
sons, had the audacity to request him to " go and shave his-
self," and even to ask what he would take for his entire
crop ? Enraged by these unprovoked observations from
persons whom he bad no desire to molest, he certainly ran
after the boy and struck him over the back with his walk-
log-stick, which wee broken in two in consequence. Imme-
diately • whole mob of Irish raMans raised a shout against
him, and he was followed and hosted by at least 300 persons
of the lowest order, until at length compelled to seek the
shelter of•the police. The defendant was at the head of that
mob, urging them on to annoy him. Now he (complainant)
was aware that his appearance might strike common people
as • little singular, but sinless we were to be visited
by such scenes of rebellion as shook the continent in
1348, the populace of London must be taught that they ass
not to molest • gentleman is the public thoroughfares be-
cause he thought proper to attire himself according to his
own free will and right. He would draw his worship's'
attention to the 7th William IV.. which gave him ample
power to punish these persons, and under which Mr. Hall
committed a man for three weeks, only &fortnight back, for
annoying him in • similar way. If ha was to be sexed why
be wore his hair so long, he would tell them that it was
chiefly to keep off bronchitis. A learned i nage (Lord Colt-
man, we understood) had reprimanded him in open court,
and he had bean excluded from practising at the bar, because
he had refused to abate an inch of his hair—what was the
cousrquenee t The judge who reprimanded him had since
died et bronchitis, and be (complainant) was for ever free'
from the disease. But he might have reminded his lordship',
that the great judges of a former age wore beards as long
as his, and I . Lord Berson and that great man John
Wesley—aged he goon reciting inatruices of great men who
wore beards like his, without exciting the derision of an
t mob / Need he mention the philosophers and
vinesl: who did so ? •
Mr. Jardine thought not. It was hardly to the point.
Complainant would not go more fully into that question
thou, bat be thought he had a right to demand protection
from the nisebtrates. He pursued his path through life as
• Christian, doing iU to no man ; but it a set of Irish black-
guards molesters him, and he could not get protection from
the law, he would take the law into his own hand, and
knock them down with his stick. Should he not be justified
in this ?

Jartitn' • advised hint to the contrary. Without
wishing to say anything dierespeotful to complainant, he
might venture to remark that his appearance was snob re
would very probably anise some remark, or a smile, from
outset piople ; bat it was wise to take no notice of it, sad,
above
Adake all, he should abstain from striking anyone with his
_ _ _

• ;mutable of the B division stated that he saw the de
hadn't at the head of the mob, waving his hand ; and
when witness desired him to desist, he said, " I will follow
him as far as De goes."
The defendant said hi had only just left his days work,
and was standing at the corner of the court In which he
lived, aear High.street, Bloomsbury, when be saw the mob
following the gentlemen, and merely joined the net to see
what it was about. He called a woman named Bryant to
prove this statement.
IlLr. Jardine said he could not disbelieve the policeman's
statement that defendant was urging on the mob to follow
Mr. Brierley, and wholly without motive; because it did net
appear, from his own statement, that he bad seen the alleged
assault on the little boy, which seems to have excited the
indignation of the people in the drat place. He mast there-
fore pay • fine of 205., or go to prison for 14 days.
The fine was paid at a later period of the day.
