WORSHIP-STREF.T.

Mr. Was Totrbkfield, an umbrella and parasol manufac-
turer, carrying on business in the Hackney-road, was
placed at the bar upon a charge of forgery, preferred
against ;Jim under rather peculiar circumstances by the
Directors of the Independent Gas Company, at Hagger-
stone.
John Lyall Kitchen, a collector in the service of the
company, stated that on the 7th ult. he received from the
prisoner, who ten' one of their customers, the sum of
U. 6s. 2J, being the amount of arrears due by him for the
supply of gas up to Laxly-day last, and that ha handed him a
printed receipt for that amount. The receipt in question
was now produced, but on examining the figures he found
that the sum of 1!. had been since altered into 2!., which
made it appear that the prismer had paid him I!. more
than he had actually received. The witness produced a
counter!oil of the original receipt for 11. bs. 2d., which he
had furnished to the prisoner.
The prisoner, who disclaimed all knowledge of the al-
leged alteration in the receipt, was fully committed for
trial.
LAMBETH.
James Stacey, an actor, was finally examined on a charge
of conducting himself in a most disgusting manner towards
two ladies on several occasions, and the tut time on Sunday
when returning from church.
Mr. Norton said the case was clear. The highest penalty
was forty shillings, or, in default of payment of that sum,
one month's imprisonment ; and it would be inconsistent
with his feelings and his duty to remit the smallest portion
of that penalty. He should, therefore, adjudge that the
prisoner pay the full penalty of forty shillings, or be im-
prisoned for one month, and he was sorry to add that his
punishment was by no means commensurate with his
offence.

-„.
The prisoner at once paid the money, and left the court
in the company of

Mr. Martin, solicitor, applied to the sitting magistrate on
behalf of a poor industrious woman, living in North-street,
West Brampton, to know how she could dispose of three
children, two boys and one girl, who had been left in her
care by the father to maintain at his expense, but he bad
since gone off without paying her. Mr. Martin stated that
the father of the children was named Brown, and his wor-
ship would remember that he had been before him at that
court and had mentioned that he had purchased Bucking-
ham-house, in Pall-mall. Tnis woman had not seen any
thing of him for six weeks She had applied to the Ken-
sington workhouse to have them admitted, but the parochial
ethcen had refused to take them in.

Mr raynter inquired if she had seen the guardians of
Kensington ?
The woman said she went before the board on the pre-
vious afternoon, and after explaining to them the manner
in which the children came under her protection, they re-
fused to listen to her application, and said they would not
admit them into the workhouse.

Mr.Paynter observed that she might have left the children
in the workhouse when she was there, when she found that
they would not take them in.
The applicant said she wanted to leave them, but the
gentlemen sitting at the table ordered her to be seen out
of the building with the children. She never felt so in-
sulted as she did on that occasion, from the manner in which
she was treated. _ _ .

Mr. Paynter said if the board of guardians of Kensington
were so silly an 4 inconsiderate to behave in that manner,
they must expect to receive rough treatment. If he was in
the applicant's place, he should go to the workhouse and
leave the children at the gate. She was not bound to keep
other people's children, and as she was living in that parish,
they ought to be admitted into the workhouse.
The applicant asked if she had better ring the bell at the
workhouse when she went with the children.
Mr. Paynter said the applicant must take the responsi-
bility of leaving the children at the gate of the work-
house upon herself. She had better confer with her soli-
citor, who would no doubt advise her as to the best course
to adopt.
