POLICE.-MTERDAY.

GIIILDHALL.—Ontrietre Deirrs.—W. Howell, the
matador of one of Mr. Trevett's omnibuses, running from
Loedosebridge to Peotonville, was summered for having i
unnecessarily delayed in one of his journeys, by going out of
his way, and oleo by stopping near the Auction Mart a looser
time than was neceseary.—W. H. Romer, Esq., stated that
on Wednesday he got into the defendant's omnihua, which
stopped for some time near the Auction Mart. He desired I
the conductor to go on or he would summons him, and re-
ceived for a reply that they could not proceed, and that he
might do as he liked about taking him before the eagle-
t:men —Capt. T. Scanney stated that on the day in question
ho was a passenger iu the defendant's omnibus,
and could
I my that the vehicle hardly stopped. The detention could
not be more than two minutes altogether. Tha complainant
attracted his attention by demanding, in very harsh terms, to
see the conductor's license.—Complaisant considered that it
was contrary to the act of parliament to stop at all for any
fixed period.—Alderman Farebrotber thought that it was
not, or why were time-keepers employed, and omnibus pro-
prietors fined if they delayed atter their time was called ?
It was so in every part of Loudest, and was originated to
prevent confusion. He did not consider Mr. Romer had
proved his case, and the summons was therefore dismissed.
BOW.STREET.—CHARO It OF BENDING THRIATENING
LEI-FM/19.—H. If. Clayton, of Bury-street, St. James's, htely
an officer in the second regiment of Life Guards, was charged
with sending letters to Mr. G. Bast, is which he threatened
to ammoniate him.—Mr. C. R. Williams, of the firm of Cox
and Williams, 62, Lincoln...inn-fields, who attended to
prefer the charge, stated that the several lever' produced
were placed in his bends in order that he might take steps to
have the case investigated by the court, and be had to apply
that the prisoner might be brought up at some future day, as
Mr. East was at present in the country, and had no means of
knowing that the prisoner was in custedy.—Mr. Jardine
looked over two of the letters, one of which was dated 22nd
Nov., and signed with the prisoner's name, threatening
death to Mr. East if he refused to comply with his request,
and the ether dated the 24th, giving the prosecutor's father
his choice of the two alternatives, "death to himself or his
son," unless his demands were forthwith answered.—Mr.
Williams mid, that at a future day he would be prepared
with further evidence to substantiate the charge.—Mr. Jar-
dine said, that before he could take further-proceedings, he
watt maim evidence respecting the identity of the hand-
rail/mg.—Mr. Williams said, to the best of his belief, all the
lames poseinsed WSW to the handwriting of the prisoner.—

reigns taken away. A large portion of the bed.curtains and
some of the bed-clothes were saturated with turpentine, and
several documents which had been planted by Mr. Amford in
the cash-box had also been steeped int. The prisoner was
the only person left in the house after Mr. Amford went to
chapel, and upon some questions being pat to him, his
mowers were so unsatisfactory that he was given into au-
tody.—Fie was remanded.

soner said that his brother-in law ha I, linos the day of their
marriage, done everything in his power to separate them.—
Kr. Elliott remarked that as there was no evidenee before
him to show that the prisoner had pawned the things, he
coup not entertain the charge against him. It was admitted
by his wife that she pawned the goods, and the prosecutor
might give her in charge if he thought proper —The prose-
cutor said he did not wish to do so ; but hoped his worship
would kold the prisoner to bell, for he was a desperate cha-
meter, and had been twice convicted, and had threatened his
life. This the prisoner denied, and the magistrate dismissed
the charge.
