THE POLICE COURTS.
GUILDHALL.
Mr. Irving, of the firm of Irving and Brown, coal mer-
chants, of Broken-wharf, Wapping, was convicted in the
penalty of 10!., for knowing;• sending out his coal wag-
gons with an illegal weialung-maxidue, known by the ;
trade as " Jack in the box."
Mr.lllarvard, the City inspector of weights and mca-
sures, stated that the machine was of a most deceitful
• character, and that the public was defrauded by them to an
alarming extent.
Mr. Alderman Wire said it was the seventh time the firm
had been convicted. Ile wished it to go forth that he was
determined to protect the poor, who were the sufferers by
i the use of these machines.
i A female, well known to most of the fashionable shop-
' keeper- in the City fur her window-mu:v.lol,g propensities,
1 was charged by the gaoler with committing the following

offence
Springate said at twelve o'clock in the day, hearing the
lock-up door-hell ring, he answered it, and found the pri-
soner at the door. She said, " Here, I want you. Come
out." He told her he was busy, and she must call again.
Thin she did, saying. " Now you must take me in ;if you
don't I'll du for another," producing a large stone in her
hand. Ile found she had broken the windovs of the ware-
house adjoining the police-court.
Alderman Wire—tell, what have you to say ?
Prisoner—Nothing • I did it to get into prison.
The gaoler said she bad only been niecharged on the
previous day from the Compter, after 12 months' imprison-
ment.
Alderman Wire—Why didn't you apply to the union ;
there you will find a home.
Prisoner—Hume, indeed! they won't have anything to
do with me.
Alderman Wire—Well, we'll sec what effect twenty-one
days' imprisonment on short allowance will have on your
temper.—The prisoner was then removed.
BOW-UTREET.
Two respectable looking men were brought up by 20 F,
charged with being drunk, and obstructing him and another
officer in the eye cutien of their duty. Ihe prisoners gave
the names of John Jones and Henry 11-47xe, describing
themselves as not having any profession or calling.
The contestable said there was a considerable disturbance
about eleven o'clock on Friday night at the door of the
Adelphi Theatre, where several persons in a state of intoxi-
cation were endeavouring to get Jones, who was very far
gone and very noisy, into a cab, and as he resisted witness
forced him to a different part of the Strand to prevent the
crowd increasing. where another cab was procured by the
lother prisoner, and ceinveyed hint to the station. The prisoner
Webber then refused to allow his friend to remain in cus-
tody, and insisted that as he hired the vehicle tbey should
ride home in it, instead of being lodged for the, night at the
public expense. The constable, on showing a determination
not to allow such a course, was attacked by Webber, who
struck him several times in the breast.
The prisoner Webber said, if he had done wrong it was
owing to his anxiety to take his friend home. and avoid
disturbance in the start. Jones threw himself on the
entry of the court, as he was entirely unconscious of every-
thing that transpired.
Mr. Henry said that the officers had acted very properly
in preventing disorder in frequented thoroughfares,
and when persons in a better condition of life thought
proper to misconduct themselves in such a manner, a fine
should be inflicted such us would make them more cautious
in future. The prisoners were then ordered to pay a each,
which they immediate ly did, and were discharged.
CLERK EN WELL.
William Bennett, clerk in the Electric Telegraph-office,
wa, charged under the following eireametances :
Police-constable Evans, 386 N, said that on Friday night
he saw the defendant, who was attired in female apparel,
dancing in front of Compton-terrace, Islington, with a gen- I
tleman awl two person"; whom he beliceed were ladies.
The gait and manner of the accused excited suspicion as
to his sex, and witness in consequence removed him to the
station-house for examination, when the necessary fact was'
elicited.
Sergeant Cole, 22 N, produced the apparel worn by the
prisoner. It was of a costly description, end complete, with
Ithe exception of stays.
Mr. Tyrwhitt asked the prisoner if he wished to make
any remark ?
Prisoner eaid that he had behaved in the manner described
out of a lark and a paltry bet, and regretted his indiscretion.
Mr. Tyratitt told him that such conduct was highly re-
prehenxible, and calculated to lead an individual so offend-
ing into a very awkward predicament. The punishment
and degradation the defendant bad undergone would, he
comidered, be adequate to the offence, end believing there
would not be a repetition of it by him, he would set him at
liberty.— The defendant gratefully acknowledged the
leuiency of the magistrate.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
Thomas Taylor, a butcher, was shamed with having
caused the death of Simon Newman, tailor, Little Chapel-
Anat.
The prisoner and the deceased were at the Doves public-
house, Ul Berwick-street, and words arose between them in
consequence of the deceased having charged the prisoner
with taking some of his tobacco. They stood up and sparred j
in the taproom, and fell together, the deceased falling with '
his back against a coal-box, or settle, which project( d. The
deceased got up and sat down on a bench, saying he woo
hurt. One of the witnesses advised him to fight no more,
hut the deceased insisted on fighting it out in the street.
They went out and had two or three rounds. The de-
ceased was down more than once. Ile complained of
being injured, and was °hinted to be removed by the assist-
aim. of two men to the hospital, where, after lingering some

dates, he died.
The prisoner said the statement was quite true and he
WIN remanded to await the decision of a coroner's jury.
Richard Ponylas, otherwise Captain Douglas mid Sir
Richard Douglas, and his two sons Arthur and Charles
Douylas, late of Orpington Ilouse, Kent, mid No. G, Bel-
grave-terrace, were brought up for further examination,
charged with having obtained goods from tradesmen by
false pretences. Against the two sons a large number of
ca-es were brought forward, several of which were so far
establishes' that they stood committed on them. The father
was included in one ease in which one of his sons was also
concerned. A further remand for the production of more
evidence was ordered.
MAILYLEBONE.
John Moss, late v Act in the service of C. 11. Brettell,
Esq., of Wedbourne terrace, Paddington, was charged
with having stolen a vast amount of property belonging to
his lute master.
The prisoner had been some time dismissed from Mr.
Brettell s service. Mr. Brettell, however, having very soon
discovered that he had been rubbed, gave such information
to the police us led to the apprehension of the prisoner by
Constable Dunlop, 133 1), who, upon searching his lodgings,
found ther. in many of the articles stolen. The officer also
traced a portion of the plunder to the house of a person at
Brixton, the possession of which was accounted for by the
statement that the said person had purchased it of the pri-
soner for .1/., believing it to be his own property.
The prisoner was committed for trial.

ing an non railing in It, dford-square, Stepney.

and he at the same time saw persons running. Ile pursued

other, and fell iu the mud, when he succeeded iu capturing
the prisoner but the other escaped. After lodging the
prisoner he came Lack to the square, where be found
rat kiugkers and shutter elrwps which had been forcibly
wrenched away. Ile also discovered that as iron rail with
a part of the stone coping in which it was fixed, had been
wrenched away.
Mr. Antony Lorimer of 20, Bedford-square, stated that
he heard the noise at his door on the night in question. It
would cost 2/. to repair the damage done to the door and
railing.
The prisoner denied that he had any share in it. Ile
was not running, but the constable and the man he was
pursuing ran against him, and threw him in the mud.
Mr. Yardley having beard corroborative tvidenee, said
that for the future he should send parties for trial who
were found to be guilty of stealing knockers. In the
present instance, lie would call upon the accused to pay 21.,
the damage done to Mr. Lorimer s property.
The tine was paid.
