Moses Edwina, Arthur dlathieson, George Pearson, Joseph
W ' alden Wm. Adamson, Francis Lee, John ayward,
Henry IVright, George Sampson, and James Ward, were
' pined at the bar before Mr. Bingham, charged with being
found in a common gaming house, known as " The Nick,"
No. 17, Castle•street, Leicester-square, for an unlawful
purrose-
The majority of the defendants, who were well-dressed
men, were described on the charge sheet as gentlemen, the
others were retired tradesmen—the whole of whom are

well known. Mr. Clarkson appeared for the defendants.
Superintendent O'Brien, C division, deposed that he pro-
duced the warrant signed by the Commissioners of Police,
authorising him to enter the house, No. 17, Castle-street,
and that last night about a quarter past nine, in accordance
with his instructions, he went with Inspector Lester and
other officers to the above house, and knocked at the outer
door, and for some time was refused admission by the de-
fendant Ward, who acted as doorkeeper. After a while
the door was opened by Ward, wbo was at once taken into
custody. They then went in and proceeded to • door
which led to a flight of narrow stairs. They demanded
admission at that door, but received no answer. Wit-
ness then gave directions to have it forced, which was
done, and they then went up stairs, and in the ceiling
above the stain was a large heavy trap. Some person
here called out " Who's there ?" and he replied, " The
Superintendent of Police." The person then said, " Have
you got a warrant ?" He replied he had ; and the answer
was, " Try what time it will take you to get in." He then
ordered the officers to try and force the trap above, which
was done, indicting much damage to the wainscoting.
They then entered the room, in which were a billiard-table,
balls, and cues. This room was secured from the street
by a very strong window, and in a corner was a large tub,
Which would hold ten or twelve gallons of water. This was
fixed over a pipe communicating with the lower part of Abe
house. In the room he found the whole of the defendants,
with the exception of Ward, who was already in custody,
sad he took them all into custody and had them conveyed
to the station. No dice, cards, or other implements of
gaming were found.
Mr. Bingham—Then, if that is all, the defendants are
discharged.
