Mr. John Creswell, the owner of several houses in Flom-
tres-ceurt, and also of one adjoiniag in Holborn, was sum-
moned at the instants of the Commissioners of Sewers, un-
der the City of Leedom Sewers Aot of 1851, for not answer-
ing oertais gentian, required by the Coramissionen of
Bowers, and for amemmodating lodgers altar notice that
three of his homes, Nos. 3,4, and 5, Plucatree-court, were
unfit for their reception by reason of the effluvia arising
from the ill-constructed water-closet in the cellar, and im-
proper ventilation.
A clerk from the office of Messrs. Tyrrell, solicitors to the
commissioners, together with Mr. Dew, attended to prefer
the complaint • and Mr. Z. H. Based! appeared on behalf
of Mr. Creswell.
The clerk put in the certificate signed by John Simon,
the medical officer of health, stating that the ventilation
was insufficient, which with On effluvia emitted by the ill-
ceeditioned privy in the cellar, rendered the houses unfit
for occupation. Notice bad bins given to the defendant.
For the defence it was contended that the houses in gen-
tian were not within the provision of the statute. The
10th section of the art referred only to houses which, or
any portion of which, was let for a single night or leas than
a week, at a specific rental. It was evident that that ap-
plied only to temporary lodgings, and not, as was the case
with Mr. Creswell's tenants, to permanent residents. Mr.
Crewel' always agreed for a particular notice to be given
by either party, prior to leaving. These houses could not
therefore be called " lodging-houses of en inferior descrip-
tion for the accommodation of mendicants, de.," according
to the words of the act. _ _

CLERKENWELL,
Thew Blows and Michael Deane, stout-looking Iriah-
men, were charged with having been concerned in the fol-
lowing violent outrage on the police, &c.
Police Constables Cook, 198, Smith, 236, and Rawlinson,
337, 13 division, and other officers, were in attendance,
severely injured by the prisoners' violence.
On Sunday night last, at about 11 o'clock, the prisoner
Burns and another man quarrelled and fouglei together, in
Middlesex-place, Somers-town, a locality Generally in-
habited by Irish. A great crowd assembled and the neigh.
bnurhood was involved in uproar and confusion when the
officers arrived on the spot and interfered, on which they
were brutally maltreated by the prisoners and others in the
snob. Burns rushed into a house and locked himself in a
room from which he was taken. On the road to the station-
house the officers were hooted, pelted, and pulled down
by men, women, end lads, who kicked and beat them,
especially Cook, wbo probably would have been murdered,
had he not been a very powerful man. The prisoners were
at length sawed in the station house after a desperate re-
sistance.

the--they-dented the charge, saying they were not there at
time.

-13er1nint Wilkes, 43 8, said that the outrages which took
place so frequently in Middlesex-place were of so serious a
character, that it was rendered dangerous for a policeman
to venture alone down there under any circumstances.
Mr. Corns committed both prisoners for a month to the
House of Correction with hard labour.
