LAMBETH.

A BEGGING PETITION firOirßox.—Yesterday Thomas
Bee, • middle aged man of shabby genteel appearance,
was brought up in custody of Horstord, the Mendicity offi-
cer, and planed at the bar before Mr. Elliott, on a charge of
obtaiaing 31. from Mr. Wolf, a gentleman residing in Ken-
nington. lime, by false pretences.
From the statement of Horaford and other witnesses,
it appeared that about two months ago the prisoner, who is a
notorious impostor, and who has been convicted of the
offence of obtaining money by false representations, as many
as eight times, called at the house of Mr. Wolf, represented
himself to be a bargeman, and that he had been reduced to
great distress by the sinking of his barge. He also pre-
sented a petition with a long list of alleged subscribers, at
the top of which wu the name of the Rev. Mr. Dalton, the
rector of Lambeth parish, with a subscription of 31. oppo-
site. Mr. Wolf, believing his statement to be true, gave
the prisoner 31., but subsequently wrote to Mr. Dalton, and
found that he had been imposed on. Mr. Wolf is at present
out of town, but a younglwoman in his establishment, named
Bright, said she was present when the three pounds were
paid to the prisoner ; and the latter was remanded.

Carat. AsSAULTS 024 SEA APPARNTICEB.—Johrt Preston,
mate of the Atlantic, was finally examined, charged with •
series of cruel and cowardly assaults on two apprentices of
the teasel, named William Martin and John Brennan.

Martin's was the worse cue of the two. Whilst the vessel
was lying off Malta, in Match last, the prisoner having found
fault with the iad, gave him a blow with a. handspike,
which broke his arm; and whilst the fracture was still un-
reduced, compelled him to work at the pumps. Subse-
quently, whilst they were off Gibraltar, the mate dashed a
whole bucket of water at him, which, striking him on the
back of the neck, knocked him down on the chain cable,
and broke the bridge of his nose, which bled profusely.
Neither of the injuries were attended to, and the frac-
tures reunited without any surgical usistanee. At
Odessa, on the homeward voyage, the prisoner
seized him by the left ear, and, lifting him
aloft, dashed him down on the deck with consi-
derable violence. The injury was so serious that his hearing
was affected for a considerable time, and item the injury
done to his nose his articulation has been utterly injured. He
subsequently complained to the captain of the treatment he
was subjected to, and showed him the injury be had received
on the arm, to which Captain Leonard replied, " It served
you right, as you are a useless fellow."
In the other cue the lad Brennan, whilst taking in cargo
at Odessa, was knocked down in the long boat by the mate,
who kicked him three or four Sams in the chest, and after-
wards stamped upan hiss. He is still suffering from the in-
juries then inflicted on him.
The depositions being taken at great length, the prisoner
was committed oa both charges.
