POLICE. SATURDAY.

GUILDHALL. —Otincriow TO CRDRCH-RATES.—
Messrs. acia and Cockshaw, the printers of the Noncon-
formist newspaper, were summoned for refusing to pay
13e. 4d., their quota towards a church-rate for the perish of
St. Martin's, Ludgate.—Mr. Miall said, his reason for not
paying was, that he only came into the parish about the lst
of April.—Mr. Ald. Gibbs said that as the rate was proepec-
ties he was bound to pay it, as he would have the benefit of
it. —Mr. Miall said ho should dtziNn uo Woad twin it. Ile
did not nee the church, nor even know where it stood. He
objected on principle to the payment of the church-rate.
There was a law of justice above all human law that ne one
should be compelled to aid the dissemination of what he
believed to be error —Mr. Alderman Wilson asked
if he was a Quaker.—Mr. Miall said he was not.
He was a dissenter, and having a conscientious be-
lief that some of the doctrines of the established
church were erroneous, no power on earth ought to compel
him to contribute to the support of that church. What
would he as a Christian say if he were compelled to assist in
the diffusion of the errors of hlahommedanism ? Dissenters
felt as much repugnance fo aiding the diffusion of the errors
of the established church. Mr. Alderman Wilson said if the
laws of the community in which he lived required him to
contribute to the support of a religion because it wee the
faith of the majority, he should think it his duty to submit
to the law. Mr. Alderman Gibbs explained to him where
the church stood, and said if he did not use it that was his
own fault. As magistrates they could take no cognisance of
his objections to the doctrines of the established church.
They were to administer the law as they found it, and as
Mr. Miall did not object to the rate as not being made ac-
cording to law, they must enforce payment. They ordered
the amount to be paid.
CLERKENWELL.—Vterr op PRINCE WALDEMAR.—
His Royal Highness Prince Waldemar of Prussia, accom-
panied by Captain Ilaye, the superintendent commissioner
of police, attended at the court for the purpose of gratifying
his curiosity as to the internal and external arrangement of
the station-house adjoining, and the proceedings of the
. Every arrangement was made for the reception
Ortietzraot;al visitor, who, at about half-past two o'clock,
drove up incognito in an open landau. On alighting, he was
met by Thomas James Arnold, Esq., who sat m the absence
of Mr. Combs, and Mr. Mallets, the senior clerk, and other
officers. His royal highness was immediately ushered to •
seat upon the bench, and attended and listened to the pro-
ceedings, occasionally patting questions to Captain Mayo and
Mr. Arnold in reference to the characters of the various
witnesses. At the conclusion of the business his royal high-
ness inspected the whole of the establishment, and treated all
with great affability, after which be departed with Captain
Haye and his attendants.
WORSHI P-STREET. Inca x pianism. Isaac Wil-
liams and Wm. safer were charged on suspicion of having
been concerned in wilfully setting fire to the wadding manu-
factory of Mr. Morris Dusaxe, their employer, in New Mon-
tegneetreet, Spitalfields. The prisoner Salter and a female
servant were in custody on Friday, charged with stealing
some articles belonging to their master, hut they were dis-
charged for want of sufficient proof. Mr. Dusaxe stated
that when he came to this court on Friday he left the pri-
soner Williams at the factory, with orders to remain there
till he retuned ; but on his way home, after the case had
been disposed of by the magistrate, he met Williams coming
that way, and asked him why he had left the place con-
trary to orders ? to which he replied, that, having gone
on as far as he could with his work, he came to see how the
prisoners got on. Witness ordered him to go back,
and on arriving at home himself he found the back
premises all on fire. Both the prisoners got out
of the way, without making the least endeavour
to mist in ex • the flames ; but when that
had been done, sad the es were gone, they came to de-
mand their wages, end he gave them into custody. The
fire, he said, must have been wilfully occasioned, for in the
summer time there was no fire or light kept upon the pre-
mises. The damage amounted to 1001.—J. Mayhew had
heard • person in the shop say, " Let me out, let me out,"
the door being fest, and he let out a man named Jack, one of
the workmen, who ran away, and has not been seen since.
Witness produced some lucifer matches found on the spot
The prisoner Williams denied all knowledge of the fire.—
Mr. Broughton said there appeared no evidence to implicate
either of the prisoners, but the evidence of the witness May-
hew went to fix the guilt on another man, who was not then
in custody. He therefore discharged the prisoners.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.— elution OF OBTAININO
2,0001. WORTH OF BILLS, ENDER FRAUDULENT PRETENCES,
FROM PRINCE NAPOLEON LOL'IS BONAPARTE.—Mr. C.
Pollard was re-examined, charged with haying, by fraudu-
lent pretences, obtained two bills, of 1,0001. each, front
Prince Napoleon Louis Bonaparte, of King-street, St.
James's. His highness repeated his statement, as reported
in our paper of Saturday. Mr. Bush, for the prince, said
the cue was one of felony ; but at all events the larceny was
established. Mr. Hemline, who defended the accused, de-
nied that this was proved. Admitting all to be true that had
been given in evidence, there was no Cale whatever against
the prisoner. The stamp. were the prisoner's own property,
and the fact of the prince having signed his name on them
did not make them his property.—Mr. Hardwick said he
was inclined to think there was a sufficient property in the
bills on the part of the prinoe. After the prince had signed
1. the bills, he was inclined to think the prince acquired a pro-
perty in the hills; for he could have taken them up and re-
fused to part with them.—Mr. Hawkins said, if the prisoner
had intended to act dishonestly, he would aot have called on
the prince to say he was unable to procure discount for the
bills. There was no evidence to show that the prisoner had
, any felonious intention when he took away the bills.—Mr.
r Hardwick said there was not much in the point, that the
prisoner had called on the prince ; thatmight have oralbeen
, done for a blind. The question was, what, under all
stances, were the prisoner's intentions? which genteel' la
r should submit to a jury. Bail was applied for and refined.
Tuesday (to-morrow) was fixed for re-examination.
THAMES.—HeaIITLEMI ROBBERT.—Mary Ann Pentair
was charged with stealing a necklace from a dying wan=
. in the London Hospital. The particulars of an inxiidsnt
a Mrs. Bluth, and the party with whom she was retard/
. from Fairlop fair, will be found in another part et our
columns. Here we need only say, that Mrs. Myth VMS NW
