WORSIIIF-STREET.—lirrei rienWritnow B
—A lady, who stated herself to be the owner ot several
houses in Wellingtee-street, St. Luke's, applied to the ma-
gistrate for advice. She stated that some evil-disposed per-
sons had been throwing stones end other =hail's at the beck
windows d the houses in question, until ourcely a pane at
glass remained unbroken. The work of destruction had
been serried on both day and night, and with snob a degree
detention and dexterity that every effort to discover the per-
petrators had been completely baffled. As DOME of the name
dies were found to be large piers of hot coal, recently in •
state of ignition, impress were at first entertained that
they mu- t have been thrown from an upper window of one
of the houses in King square, which abutted upon the tear
of the premises referred to ; but sb' was induced to abandon
that supposition upon dissevering that them very windows
had themselves shared, though to airier extent, in the
general haeoe. The nuisance at length became so
intolerable, one of the reuses being completely rid-
dled from the ground floor to the roof, that she had applied
at the police-station for essistance, which had been readily
afforded ; but although several officers bad been incessantly
on the watch, their exertions to throw any light u, on the
teener. ion bad been wholly ineffectual--Sergeant Car
stated that immediately the dreuesstancee had been brought
under his notice no less than six constables had been ete -
tubed from the station-house to endeavour to elucidate the
matter, two of whom secreted themselves upon the roof of
the centre house, whilst the others were dispersed through
the different rooms ; but their presence had been so entirely
disregarded that even u two of them were oo the watch at

they instantly looked oat in every direction no one whatever
appeared in sight, and they were unable to discover the
quarter fres which it had been thrown.—Mr. Hamra ear
that it was certain', a most malicious and wanton mode of
annoyance, and one which undoubtedly called for severe
punishment; but he regretted he had no means of rendering
the applicant any further assistasos, r the matter was
already in the hands of the police.

police,produce the repo m
rtmade by me to the commissioners
and the order of the commissioners to enter the
house No. 17, Castle.street, Leicester-square. In era-
dimes with this order I went about • quarter-past
nine last night to the house, accompanied by
several constables. On arriving at the door, I found
it secured by a strong chain. I knocked several
times for admission, and not receiving any answer I
directed the constables to break the doors open, which, after
some difficulty, was done. I then went into a room on the
round-floor, where I sew the defendants Hart Mathews,
Seyfort, and Holland. I directed the constables to secure
them. I then forced an entrance through a thin partition
leading to the stein. On arriving at the top of the staircase
I found all further ingress secured by a trap-duor, which was
strongly fastened. I directed it to be forced open by crow-
bars, and, a ter smite time, a hole sufficient!) large was
made, through which • constable was put, who broke open
tha door with a crowbar. I then went into a room, and
found the other defendants sitting round a table covered
with green bare. There was a fire in the room,
and I distinctly sew papers burning in the grate,

fire, which ex.ected
tinguishm it. I then law one of the constables take the
portion of the roulette wheel produced from a sick in the
room. I also found an engraving which fitted into the
frame of the roulette wheel, which when banging up had
all the appearance of a picture. In another part of the
room I found the bank boxes and the metal produced,
which was taken from under the grate. The whole of the
prisoners were then secured and taken to the station.—
Policeman Freeman said, on the previous evening, about
five o'clock, he commenced watching the home in Castle-
deer, and saw several of the defendan& and others knock
at the door. The door was on the chain, and when a
signal was given it was opened by the defendant Hart,
the doorkeeper, and the defendants were at once
admitted. The doer was then chained again imme-
diately.—Another constable a arched the ground floor of
the house In Castle street. In the back loom he found
Howard sitting at the table, and Caldwell standing behind
the door. He took them into custody, and conveyed them
to the statiom—Mr. Bingham said he was convinced that
the house was a common gaming-house, and that the de-
fendants were there for an unlawful purpose. As It had been
proved that Hart had acted as door-keeper, he (Mr. Bing-
ham) should convict him in the penalty of 1001, or, in de-
fault, to be Imprisoned for six months. The others he fined
40s. each.

that of causing him to effect his escape.—The prisoner MU

RICHMOND.—Tan Creature ON THE RICHMOND
AND Reece= RAILWAY. W. Watkins, the fire-

engine against the Hornet engine, and thereby causing the
death of Richard Peetj_.—The evidence given at the pre-
vious examination by Webber and Luck, pointsmeo, and the
witnesses Stamford and Burrell, haring been read over,
Mr. J. V. Gooch, superintendent of the locomotive depart-
ment of the South Western Railway, was ezamiued, and
said that he knew the prisoner es acting es fireman fur the
art three years; for the lad month he had been fireman to
a ballast engine. So as to insure tbe eafety of the public
there Sr. a number of rules or regulations printed, which it
is imperative upon every servant of the company to adhere
to. The book produced is given to each man. -The rules that
rangedarticularly referred to engine drivers and firemen,
from rule 63 to 93 ; but at the commencement
of the book there were instructions that every person
in the oompany's emir should make himself acquainted with
the signals and have a copy of the lame always in his ponce-
sion. The 65th rule provided that during the whole jour-
ney the engine-ilriver and fireman must keep a sharp look-
out and be prepared to act as occasion =Wit require momen-
tarily on any signal being shown them. The next rule was
most partitive *atm driver should leave his engine except in
charge of his fireman, and on no account whatever should
both leave it, either on the main lines or in any airings on
the line, or until it be given up by them to the proper person
appointed to receive it. Tire 69th rale was to the effect
that no engine should Mee or start on a line if mother en-
gine was heard or seen approaching,or was then due on that
line. The 74th rule prohibited the riding of any person
except ti. e driver or fireman, and the principal officers of the
company, on any engine or tender. And the 63rd rule
allowed no noneresary running of any engine on the line,
or to pump water into the boiler, except on friction
wheels. In addition to these roles, ell of which the bench
would see had been violated, the engine-driver, when
he arrived at the conclusion of his journey, was
bound to report himself to the foreman ot the outdoor loco-
motive deportee's% ; and he was not, on any pretence, to
take out any mere, without obtaining an ceder to that
effect front this person. The engine, after coming from
Dirket, was very properly moved into the siding, and there
it should have remained. The book of rules prognetd by
Inspector Beard had been gives to the prisoner, having bees
first signed by witness. Every additions! person o an
engine, b-sides the driver and fireman, impeded the working
of it—J Tomlinson said he gave prisoner the new book of
roles on the led of June last.—J. Andrews, a labourer
