THE POLICE COURTS.

GUILDHALL.
Anne roman was charged with stealing U. and 201. in
bank notes from the person of a gentleman while in Bride-
court, at a late hour on Friday night last. The prisoner
was brought up on Saturday and remanded until yesterday
for the attendance of the prosecutor, who was summoned,
but did not appear.
Alderman Hunter said that doubtless the gentleman was
ashamed to appear in such a ease, bat if gentlemen would
get into such company they mime abide by the conse-
quences. As the prosecutor in this ems did not think pre-
per to obey the summons of the court, he would take the
officer's affidavit of the service of the summons, and issue a
warrant for the gentleman's apprehension, and remand the
prisoner for a few days.

WORSHIP- STREET.
The Rev. J. B. Angley, who was Sned 20s. by Mr.
D'Eyncourt, the magistrate sitting at this mom, on the 7th
inst., for an assault, and obstructing two pollos-constables,
has received the following letter from the Homt-omen, to
which he appealed against the decision of the police magi-
strate :

" Whitehall, Feb. 72, 1853.
" 84,-1 am directed by Viscount Palmerston to inform
you that his lordship has made • full inquiry into the com-
plaint of the polio', which you addreased to him on the Bth
inst. Lord Palmerston has considered the conflicting evi-
dence which was given at the police court, and is of opinion
that the decision of the magistrate cannot be supported;
and his lordship has therefore directed that the tine which
was imposed shall be returned to you. Lord Palmerston
directs me at the Name time to admonish you that you were
wrong in interfering with the policeman on the spot; and
that if you thought be had exceeded his duty, and the case
was one which required notice, you should have repre-
sented the matter in writing to his lordship, in order that
the proper and necessary steps might be Willa. It was not
at all necessary for this porpoa that you should take the
constable's number, as Palmerston could easily have
ascertained what constable was on duty on the spot at the
time.—l em, air, your obedient servan_
" H. WADDINGTON."

77tornas Mocker*, against whom a coroner's jury has re-
turned a verdict of wilful =order, was again examined,
charged with drowning Elba Lee.
The former examination had bean adkoorned for the pro-
duction of a bargeman. This witness, Themes Dom, now
deposed—l am captaia of the Cornelius barge. I remember
the day upon which the alleged murder happened. I was
in my barge on the Regent's canal, Jew's-harp basin.
While in my barge at half-past six I heard some one ex-
claim, " For God's sake, Tom, don't;" and I think the
exclamation came from tifemale. I also think I beard the
words, " Don't drown me ;" but I cannot be positive about
that. The sound seemed to come from the direction of the
Regalia. I have often heard such crias_, and did not leave
my barge to see what was the matter. The night was very
Thi magistrate did not deem it necessary to have the
evidence of the witness Duces given in with the other depo-
sitions, as the prisoner could not have been the party to
whom the cries of " Oh, don't, Tom " were directed, inas-
much as he and the deceased ware drinking tea together at
• hones in Pratt-street at seven on the night of the
drowning..
The prisoner, who, by the advice of his solicitor, had no-
thing to say, was fully committed for trial.

A RTAL LIPS Itomerica.—Mr. Crippe, a gentleman
residing in Linton on his property, was hrmerly engaged
in an extensive brass manufastory in Leaden. His eon, a
youth of 17, was employed on the estabilshmat, and one
day chancing to get his ears hewed by Ida Mbar for some
slight dereliction of duty he eboosiell Idaself, and was
never heard of till one day last week, when the post brought
• letter from the wayward, if not prodigal son, couched in
suitable and dutiful terms, and giving an account of his life
during nearly 20 years' banishment. On absconding he
found his way to 'Sydney, and was there employed in catch-
ing wild bullocks, of which he was to have a certain pro-
portion as his share. He is now the possemor of • large
track of land, 400 beasts, and nearly as many horses, all his
own, and, though " married and nettled," proposes ere long
to return to hie fatherland to enjoy a respectable comps-
teney.—Sowth laetera Gaitetio.
