John All n, of 1737174oricaree Limehouse-fields, was
charged by Mr. William Stone, of No. 1, Red Lion-passage,
Red Lion-square, with having committed perjury.
The Prosecutor said he was a tradesman who had had
dealings with the defendant, and debts were contracted be-
tween them. In August last he summoned the defendant
for an amount of 111. 12e. 90., for goode sold and de-
livered. The defendant called upon the prosecutor for
payment of the amount, when the latter produced a bundle
of eight receipts, which were placed in the hands of the
defendant, and on his leaving the house the whole of the
receipts wen missed. One receipt, however, he still bad in
his possession for an amount of 11. 4s. 11d., and on the cue
being heard in the County Court, the defendant was asked
Iwhether he had received that amount, and he swore that
he had net, and that it was not in his handwriting. The
consequence was, that judgment was entered for the whole
amount and 21. 3e. costa.

WBSIVINIITER.
Chas. Vernon Yowsg, of Brighton, solicitor, was exa-
mined, charged with wilful and corrupt perjury.
The case areas out of an action tried in the Court of
Queen's Bench, Westminster, a few days ago, " Goodman
v. Pegg," for breach of promise of marriage, in which the
jury gave the plaintiff a verdict for 604. Oae of the pleas
on the record was, that the plaintiff was a lewd and ins.
proper character, and Mr. C. V. Young was called in sup-
port of the allegation for the defendant. The assignment of
perjury
i consisted in his having sworn that he had had im-
proper intimacy with Harriet Bliss Goodman in the pre-
*epee of Caroline Matilda, the plaintiff, her sister ; that he
had gone up stairs with Harriet Bliss in the sister's pre-
sence ; that he had walked in the fields at twelve at night
with both sisters near Rattle Abbey; and that he had sat in
the lap of Caroline Matilda, all of which was alleged to be
untrue.. .

Caroline Matilda Goodman and Burial Eliza Goodman
were then placed in the witness box, and stoutly denied the
statements of Mr. Young u far u they were severally con-
cerned.

Mr. Edward Pegg and Mr. Young swore in turn that the
statements for which this prosecution was instituted were
to their knowledge true.
Mr. Broderip said a greater cue of profligacy had never
been exposed in a court of justice. It wu a cue of the
grossest immorality in which the women were swearing
positively on the one side and were as positively contra-
dicted on the other. Taking the whole of the case into
consideration, he felt it was not one in which he was called
upm to hold the defendant to bail to answer the charge.
Be therefore dismissed the summons, and left the parties
to their remedy by indictment if they felt disposed to
try it.

DARING AND EXTENSIVE BURGLARY IN REGENT-
STRIZT.—Yesterday information was forwarded to Scot-
, lend-yard of the following daring and extensive burglary,
which had at an early hour that morning been committed
on the premises of Mr. William Tingey, silversmith and
jeweller, No. 312, Regent-street, the corner of Little Port-
land-street, nearly opposite the Polytechnic Institution,
when property to the amount of 2,0001. and upwards was
carried off. From due and careful inspection by the police,
the entrr is supposed to have been effected by an ascent of
the outside wall situate in Little Portland-street, and alight-
ing in tke stone balcony over the side shop window. Access
was made through one of the first floor windows. There
being no marks of violence, however, on the frame thereof,
and none of the glass broken, it had no doubt been incau-
tiously left unfastened, and from thence, proceeding down
into the shop, the thieves made egress by the street door,
which was found open, and the articles enumerated as fol-
lows ascertained to be missing therefrom :—Tkree massive
silver dishes, valued at 100 guineas each, and which were
displayed to view at the Great Exhibition in 1831 ; 140
gold, diamond, and other rings, 40 gold and silver watches,
besides various minor articles of jewellery. The burglary,
which was committed in the E division, was no doubt per-
petrated while the sergeant on duty bad, as is customary,
repaired to a different part of the beat to meet the men
under him, and hear from them anything that had come
under their notice requiring police interference.
Tux UNION OF -BENEncEs.—Yesterday* a bill in
the Taus. of Commoni was printed to alter the law relat-
ing to the union of benefices. It is proposed by this bill
that persons shall be allowed to have private chapels to
their houses for their own exclusive ass without the chapels
Wog Lowed for tIiTiRS warship.
