THE POLICE COURTS.

GUILDHALL.

Jahn Jeunss Dow, the eccentric-looking young man, who
described himself as a convert to the Jewish persuasion end
a strict follower of the doctrine preached by our Saviour,
was brought up before Alderman Lawrence, having been re-
manded for the purpose of haring the prison surgeon's
opinion es to the state of his mind.
The following certificate from the assistant surgeon of
the prison of Newgate was then handed in :
Newgate, August 28, 1653.
" I hereby certify that I have carefully examined John
James Dew at different times, and cannot detect anything
in his manner to make me form the opinion that he is in-
sane. His appearance is peculiar, and his habits singular,
being a vegetarian ; beyond that, he is most rational, and
gives plain and proper answers to any questions put to him.
" FISSDINICK WILDZEtS."

Alderman Lawrence said the prisoner had already been
discharg.d from the alleged offence of illegal pawning, and
there was no charge against him to detain him.
The prisoner, who during his detention informisd those
about him that he bad tasted nothing but apples and figs
and pure water for the last two or three years. sad gained
great strength in consequence, was then dlschused.

BOW-STREET.
Henry Herring, a carpenter, was brought before Mr.
Hall, charged with a series of violent assaults at a public-
house kept by Matthews, the do en, in Drury-lane, also
with doing about 30s. damage.
It was proved that the prisoner, with one or two female
companions, visited the house on Saturday evening, in a
state of partial intoxication. They were supplied with rum,
and, under its potent influence, became quarrelsome. There
was a numerous company at the bar, and soon an affray rose
of a most alarming character ; the prisoner having seized a
quart pot, a general row occurred, and the interference of
the police was found necessary to restore order.
Kis worship fined the defendant 30s. for each of the two as-
saults, and the damage—in all about 61.—0 r a month's im-
prisonment.
CLERKEN WELL.

George Pewee, a tall, poTeeriulllnohingman, was brought
up on a warrant by Mr. Inspector Brennan, G division,
charged at the instance of the parish authorities of St.
Luke's, with having exercised excessive cruelty towards
George, aged 11, and Sophia Purse, aged 5 years, his son
and daughter.
The parish officers were in attendance and produced the
children, who had been protected is the workhouse.
Their persons were exhibited in the court, and presented
a most horrid appearance, especially that of the boy.
It appeared that the prisoner is a labouring man, residing
at No, 1, Gee-street, St. Luke's. For a length of time past
the lodgers in the house end the inmates of the adjoining
houses were annoyed by the piercing cries and screams of
the children, which left no doubt in their mind that they
were moat cruelly ill-treated, which induced them to give
information to Inspector Brennan, who instituted inquiries,
and en proceeding to the house, No. 1, Gee-street, he found
the children in a filthy, wretched apartment, in great pain
and naked, the clothes being locked up in a cupboard, where
the eldest child was occasionally confined. Front what the
children and the neighbours had described to the inspector,
he communicated with the parish authorities, who pro-
tected the children, and a warrant was immediately applied
for, which was granted, and executed on Saturday last,
and the prisoner was locked up until yesterday morning.
George Pears., the son, said that his father (the prisoner)
was in the haleit of beating him with a thick strap or belt,
with a buckle at the end of it, and also with a carman'.
whip, both of which were now produced. lie was in the
practice of strapping him on his naked flesh whilst he held
his head between his knees, in order to prevent him calling
out or making an alarm. The last time he beat him was
on Thursday, the 26th inst., with the strap while he was
naked.

Mr. Carrie—Fray why did he beat you?
Boy—Because I played the truant.
Mr. Carrie—Why did you do so
Boy—Because my mistreu favoured others and not me,
so I said I would not stop with her.
Inspector Brennan said the prisoner beat and kicked his
little girl, who had marks of violence on her person. He
had ascertained that the prisoner had been in the habit of
brutally ill-using his children, and that when his wife WWI
in her coffin she was covered with marks of violence,
and the prisoner kept the children without their clothes,
to prevent their complaining of the prisoner's ill-treatment
to the neighbours.
Joseph IMuon, Mrs. Ann Sheppard, Ax., were called to
give evidence. They said they were continually alarmed
and annoyed by the screams and cries of the children. On
remonstrating with him, the prisoner abused them and said
he would do what he ced with his own.

Mr. Brennan said the prisoner had ill-used another of his
children, which had been taken into the "House of Occu-
pation," and he now wanted to get rid of his other children.
The prisoner did not deny having chastised the children.
The boy would not keep to his school, and taught his sister
to tell lies.

Mr. Corns told him that such dreadful weapons were not
proper to chastise such children with, nor was be justified
in the infliction of such excessive violence towards them,
whatever their conduct might be. He (Mr. Cowie) would
adjourn the case until the 16th of September next, when
he should require his appearance before him to answer the
charge, and he and the children would be properly watched
by the officer end parish authorities.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
James Cagby and William Skinner, two coal porters in the
employ of the Great Northern Railway Company, were
charged with stealing three sacks of coals, the property of
their employe».
John Stewart, hall-porter in the service of the Earl of
Jersey, 38, Berkeley-square, elated that, on the 17th inst.,
be received from the Great Northern Railway four tons of
coals, which were brought round to the front of the house
in the aqua». Witness afterwards sent them to the kitchen
department in Fann-street-mews' where they were deli-
vered. Prisoners then brought the waggon to the front
door, and witness saw them count forty sacks, and they then
went away. Witness subsequently was informed by • per-
son named Mason, who was formerly helper in Sir Alex-
ander Cockburn's stables, that the prisoners had sold three
sacks of the coals toe person named Beard, Sir Alexander's
groom. Witness at once communicated with the rail-
way authorities, which led to the apprehension of the
prisoners.
Mr. Justin., on the part of the company, stated that
Beard, who was out on Dail, having been apprehended on
Saturday, was remanded until Wednesday next, and re-
quested to have the prisoners remanded till that day.
IVi/lism Thompson, a young fellow well known to the
police, was yesterday brought before Mr. Hardwick,
charged with the following daring burglary.
James Moore deposed that he was a porter in the employ
of Mr. Lnigman, seal engraver, No. 1, Waterloo-place, and
that about half-past 2 on Sunday morning he was awoke
from his sleep, by hearing a strange noise. He got up and
saw alight is the ball, and he then went down and armed
himself, and heard the street-door opened, and somebody go
down stairs. Witness called out for assistance, and ongoing
into the area, he saw two men getting over the railings. A
cab was in the middle of the road, and the prisoner
ran behind it into Pall-mall. Witness subsequently
searched the premises, and found a pane of glass broken in
the back kitchen window, which was open, and which be
had left secure the night previous. A door leading from
the back kitchen to the front was open, and a closet door
was also broken open, and on a table in the kitchen be
found a silver coffee-pot, a pair of silver candlesticks, seve-
ral silver forks, spoons, and other articles, of the value of
upwards of 601. On the hall stairs he found a skeleton key,
a gimlet, screw. driver, and a wrapper.
Police-constable Lister, 119 C., said, shortly after two, on
Sunday morning, be received information of the
burglary, and on proceeding to Waterloo-place, he
saw the prisoner walking towards Pall-mall. He
followed him and took him into custody, when
the prisoner said, "Lister, I'm dead licked at last." On
searching him at the station, a roll of wax taper was found
upon him.
The prisoner was reminded fora week.
William Jackson, who was taken into custody yesterday
morning by Joy, 187, on suspicion of having been concerned
in the above burglary, put a period to his existence, in the
cell at the station-house, on Sunday evening, by dividing
the arteries of one of his arms. The instrument used in
carrying his object into effect was an iron tip which he had
wrenched from the heel of one of his boots.

Not the slightest blame is attached to the officers who
were on duty at the time.

MARYLEBONE.

Mr. John Pinson, stated to be • gentleman of indepen-
dent property residing at 39, Albert-street, Camden-town,
was brought up from the House of Detention, to which he
was committed on Wednesday last by Mr. Broughton, on
the charge of having indecently assaulted Mr. Edwin An-
drew, a medical student, living at 5, Melton-street, Euston-
square.
Mr. Wakeling, solicitor; attended for the prisoner.
Upon the first inquiry (some particulars of which have
already been inserted) it was alleged that the assault took
place between 11 and 12 on the previous Monday night,
while prosecutor was standing by some railings listening to
the singing of a lady in the drawing room of a house in
Crescesit-placr, Hampstead-road. The evidence was now
all read over by Mr. Phillips, the clerk, and
Prosecutor stated that within the last few days he had
received a letter from Brighton begging of him not to pro-
ceed in the case. He knew nothing whatever of the writer,
but he had no wish to go on further with the matter. The
said letter, which was written in pencil and signed "Ellen
Anderson," was handed to the magistrate, but the writing
I had become illegible.
The prisoner, by the advice of his solicitor, declined at
present saying anything.
Mr. Broughton said he could not think for a moment of
listening to the wish ezpreued by the prosecutor, as it was
necessary for the character of both parties in a charge of so
serious a nature that the ease should go for the decision of
a jury. It was his intention to have sent the prisoner for
trial that day, hut in consequence of a letter which he had
received from Plymouth (the nature of the contents thereof
was not mentioned), it was necessary that some further in-
quiries should be made ' • and he should therefore order that
the prisoner be brought up next Monday.

William Cromer, a labourer, who refused to give his
place of residence, wu charged with stealing two coats, a
silver spoon, two pairs of boots, &c., the property of Mr. 0.
Hudson, M.P., Albert-place, Knightsbridge.
Policeman CI , 71 B, said that between 12 and 1
o'clock that morning be was on duty in Hyde-park, near
Albert-gate, when he heard a noise in the garden attached
to the house of Mr. Hudson. He waited there a few
hates, when, not feeling satisfied, he got over the well.
Es node a search, aid foond the Odom to a Milo( pod-

tion under the wall. He had on V e livery coat of one of
the servants. He asked the prisoner what business he bad
there. He replied, " I do not know ; but I suppose you
want to know what I have been doing:" Witness paid
that be did, and sprang his rattle, but it was hail an hour
before any one came to his as‘istance. He produced the
property found on the prisoner.
John Reynolds, the steward. identified the property,
which he valued at 31. He remarked that he thought the
prisoner had got into the house between 7 and 8 o'clock,
while the family were at dinner. The property was in the
servants' ball.
_ . . .

The prisoner was fully committed for trial.
SOUT HWARK .
George ('hureher, a well-ko.own thief, was brought before
Mr. Combo, charged with stealing a quart pot containing
seven shillings and sixpence in copper money, the property
of Charles Payne, beer-shop keeper, Bermondsey-street.
The prosecutor said, that previous to his going to church
last evening he deposited the quart pot, containing the
money, on a shelf behind the bar. The prisoner's mother I
assisted to clean the house, and the prisoner was in the
habit of coming there during his absence, although cau-
tioned not to come. When witness returned from church
he missed the pot and contents, and having heard that the
prisoner had been there he went to his lodgings and gave
him into custody. It was well known he had been out of
work for a long time and without money, beat four shillings
and sixpence were found on him. On his return from the
statiou house the quart pot was found in the water closet.
If the prisoner was remanded, he should be able to pro-
disco evidence to establish the charge against him.
Hunt, 34 M, an active detective officer, said the prisoner
had been twice tried at the Surrey Sessions for felonies, and
was an associate of noto-ious thieves. lie was seen loiter-
ing about the house of the prosecutor last evening with
al others.

The prisoner, who denied the charge, was remanded for
the production of further evidence.

CORN.-Cotta, Aug. 28.-We have had on the whole a
wet and broken week. This morning set in fine, with
every prospect of its continuing so, but by noon
the rain again commenced falling, but happily it ap-
pears to be partial. Harvest has now generally set in.
and the reports from all parts of the country concur as
to its favourable character. We now scarcely hear
of a rumour of the spread of the blight in the pota-
toes in other parts of the country, though there cannot be
a doubt of their having suffered very considerably through.
out this county. Those that come to market, however, are
larger than in any year since the first visitation. Owing to
the advice, from Mark Lane, coupled with the change to
wet weather (which at this moment is most injurious) prices
have advanced this week. Native Wheat, old kiln dried,
sold at 305., 31s. now asked ; this is fully 2s. over the prices
paid last week. Foreign Wheat has been purchased freely
y our millers, who are all light in stock, the prices paid are
fully 2s. to 35. over last week's rates, and at the
advance a considerable business has been done, all
for consumption. The prices paid yesterday were
for Marianople, 325. ; Ghirka, 315. 6d.; °Hats, 30s. ;
Ibraila, 285.; and one parcel of prime Polish fetched as
high as 325. ; Egyptian sold at 245., now held to 251. Bere
Barley, 6d. dearer. Oats, of which the quantity is inertias.
ing, has advanced 3d. We quote new tawney worth
10s. 9d.; black, lls. to lls. 641.; white, lls. to 12s. 3d. In-
dian Corn is held firmly at 71. 15s. for Cleats; Ibrail,
71. 12s. 6d. ; other sorts in proportion ; at 2s. 6d. less money
a large business could be done, but holders would not give
way. Flour, 2s. 6d. per sack dearer, and in good demand.
Oatmeal scarce, acd latest price 121. 12s. per ton. Indian
Meal, 2s. 6d. dearer. The receipts of native produce to the
Corn-market during the week have been-Wheat, 69
barrels, at 245. to 29s per brl. ; Oats, 1,112, 10s. 4d. to

THE MASONS' STRIKE AT GLASGOW.—Tho dis-
pute between the builders of this city and their operatives
was on Friday amicably arranged by the friendly interven-
tion of a committee of architects, who met delegates from
the muter, and workmen on Wednesday evening, when
the beads of the arrangement were settled after some con-
siderable discussion, conducted with great good temper and
moderation on the part of the men. The terms ultimately
agreed upon are—That the masons shall work only 57
hours a week, leaving off at 2 o'clock on Saturdays. That
they be paid U. the hour; and that 6 months' notice be
given before any change in these arrangements can take
place. There were upwards of 1,700 masons went out on
the strike ; and probably the labourers, quarriers, carters,
&c., employed in the various auxiliary branches of the
trade, also thrown out of employment, would number as
many more.—North British Mail.
