MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.-YESTERDAY.
Beroat Ma. ASIUSANT ADAMS. ASSISTANT JUDOS.

Thomas Scrivener, 40, and Sytrester Tomlin', 50, were
indicted,the former for stealing and the latter for feloniously
receiving, 12 pounds of nails, 32 screws, and two pieces of
paper, the property of Robert Garrett, the master of
Scrivener.
The prosecutor was an ironmonger carrying on business
at Stanmore, and from suspicion entertained, caused the
prisoner Scrivener, who was in his employ as a smith, to be
watched. Tomlins was a man of respectable standing at
Stanmore, and had a number of houses there. Ho was
having some cottages built, and supplied the materials him-
self. A policeman detected Scrivener taking some nails,
just before eight o'clock in the morning of the 29th ult., to
Tomlins house. The officer followed him through the gate-
way of the yard adjoining the house, and afterwards saw
the prisoners together in a back kitchen. Scrivener at that
time had the parcel of nails in his hand, and said Mr. Tom-
line had ordered them of him that morning. In reply to
this he said he should take him into custody for
stealing them, and that he should charge Mr. Tow-
line with being the receiver. Tomlins said he had nothing
to do with it. He had not received the property, but
should have done had he (the officer) not been so quick on
him. The prosecutor denied that Scrivener, who had
worked for him 11 years, had any " authority to sell
goods," but stated in the course of his examinatioa that be
had told Scrivener that if he dealt with Tomlin' at all it
must be for ready money, and that he did not care about
Tomlin' dealing with him at all. He Identified the nails
as his property, as also some butts, brackets, and screws,
which were found on 'Tomlin.' premises. It was shown
that Tomlins was on the prosecutor's premise, on the morning
of this transaction, at about half-past six o'clock, inquiring
for Scrivener, and afterwards Scrivener informed the ser-
vant girl that Tomlins had been and ordered nails, and
having got tho nails he left the premises openly with them,
knowing that the girl was observing him. The prosecutor
stated that Scrivener aever served in the shop, but soma
times assisted in it.

The Assistant Judge held that there was no evidence to
go to the jury as respected Tomlin', and
The jury, after hearing Kr. BMLinda' for Scrivener, and
evidence to character, reAtrnad a verdict of Not

THE POLICE COURTS.

BOW-STREET.

William Wilkinson, described as a captain in the 73d
Regiment, was charged with assaulting William Daniels, of
8, Serjeant'a-inn, Fleet•street.
The complainant stated that he wu in the dress.circle of
Drury-lane Theatre, with his wife, on Monday evening.
The defendant, who was accompanied by a lady, entered
the adjoining box at an advanced period of the evening,
and commenced talking in a loud tone of voice greatly to
the annoyance of the ladies and gentlemen sitting near
him. Witness remonstrated with him, begging him to
speak in an undertone; but the defendant called him a
blackguard, threatened to blacken one of his eyes, and
continued the conversation with his lady in such a way. as
' to prevent a large portion of the audience from enjoying
the performance. W Rues' took no further notice of him, but
when ho wu getting his wife's bonnet before leaving
the theatre, the defendant walked up behind him and deh-
berately kicked him. Witness said he would give him into
custody if he could get a policeman, and, on reaching
Drydges-street, spoke to Inspector Hancock upon the sub-
ject, describing the conduct of the defendant in the theatre,
and the assault which was subsequently committed in the
lobby. The inspector said he could not interfere in the
matter; and while they were talking together, the de-
fendant came up' and struck him twice, the second blow
being a very severe one, and causing his nose to bleed.
Mr. Robertson, of 28, Surrey street, Strand, corroborated
the greater portion of the complainant's evidence.
Inspector Hancock stated that the complainant did not
tell him that he had been kicked, but he spoke to witness
respecting the defendant, in the presence of the latter, in a
manner calculated to excite him to commit an assault,
stating " That such a fellow ought not to be admitted into
the boxes, but only to the gallery." The defendant said,
after this provocation, " I could crush him with a blow."
Witness told him he had better not, but he insisted on
striking the complainant, and then witness took him to the
police-station.
_ . .

The defendant said he was followed by the complainant
in an insulting manner. Ho denied having kicked him;
and with regard to the alleged disturbance in the theatre,
he was only criticising the performers in a legitimate
manner.

Mr. Jardine said it was open to any person who was an-
noyed in a theatre by the conduct of another to go and
complain to the officers on duty The complainant was not
prudent in repeating his complaints after the performances
were over, and his (Mr. Jardine) could not imagine his rea-
son for doing so. Still the provocation did not justify the
assaults, especially the second, which was a severe one.
His worship then fined the defendant 11., which was paid.
C LERK EN WELL. _ _

The case of the disputed tithe rate in the parish of St.
Andrew, Holborn, came on again yesterday, upon the
adjourned summons against Mr. Mark, of 8, High Holborn.
There were besides 180 summonses of like character before
the court. _ .

Mr. Corrie said that upon the best consideration ho could
give the matter, he was of opinion that the Rev. Drs.
Worthington and Mansfield were entitled to collect the
tithe rate. There was an appeal from his decision at the
quarter sessions, and what he would propose was, that all
the summonses, 180 in number, should be adjourned for a
fortnight, in order that some arrangement should be made
as to the appeal and the costs.
The fortnight's adjournment was ultimately agreed to.
WESTMINSTER.
Robert Pope, late butler to Earl Jermyn, was charged
with forgery.
The prisoner had been in his lordship's service many
yearn, and had saved a considerable sum of money. It was
proved that he had induced another gentleman's servant to
bring 1001. to the house of his master, upon the representa-
tion that the earl wanted pecuniary accommodation for a
few weeks, and would give his acceptance in return. The
lender went to the house with the money and a drawn bill.
The cash was taken up stairs, and the bill duly signed
brought down, but it is needless to say Earl Jermyn knew
nothing, till some time afterwards, of the proceeding.
The prisoner was committed.
THAMES.

Mr. E. H. R. Coleman, of the General Register and
Record °Mee of Seamen, applied for a warrant of commit-
tal against John Charles Beale, late of No. 20, St. Vinoent-
strect, Stepney, who was convicted on Thursday last in the
penalty of 51., for a violation of the Merchant Seamen's Pro-
tection Act, in obtaining the sum of 31. from an engraver,
named Thomas Rockington, of Rider's-court, Leicester.
square, under pretence of obtaining for him a; berth as
cuddy Errant on board the ship Lady Flora, bound to
Australia.
Mr. Coleman said that since the conviction of Beale, it
had come to the knowledge of the Board of Trade, b
whom he was deputed to act in this matter, that Beale had
obtained money of many other persons who were desirous
of emigrating to Australia, under pretence of obtaining
berths for them on board ships, and enabling them to work
their passage out to the gold regions on wages. Five of hie
dupes were now in attendance, and of 351. demanded of
them, he had received 111. These were all cases of extreme
hardship. The persons of whom Beale obtained the money
were in good situation., earning from 255. to 30s. per week
They had broken up their homes on the representations
of Beale, that he could procure them good berths on' board
a ship bound to Port Phillip. One man, a tailor, who had
been in the receipt of 30s. per week for the last tire year.,
had thrown up his place, and was now in a destitute condi-
tion.
Mr. Yardley said, he convicted Beale on Thursday after-
noon, and, on Friday morning, when he came down to the
court he received a letter, signed John C. Beale, stating
that by the time it reached him the writer would have
ceased to exist. It might be a rate to obtain compassion
or otherwise. He sent for inspector Smith of the K divi-
sion, and handed him the letter, and he was informed next
day that Beale was in custody, or. a charge of attempting
to commit suicide, and that he had been taken out of the
canal under circumstances which left it doubtful whether it
was not a ruse.
The magistrate then signed the warraat committing
I Beale to prison for two months.
