POLICE Y _ESTEIWAT.
GUILDHALL.—Tae WUXI( or SATTARA.—Fnamed
SACAB
sr THE INDIA-MOUSE. --An elderly gentler:B.n,
Peter Gordon, was charged with au assault, under the Col-
circumstances :—Jtitin Saunders, door-
lkoeewipengr etoltrathadiCaoariert-room of the East India-house, stated
that about half-past 12 o'clock that morning he observed the
defendant standing in the hall of the East India-house, ex-
hibiting a large placard with the words " Justice denied,"
" Patronage sold, ' "No inquiry." Considering it very im-
proper, he communicated with :be chairman of the company,
who instructed him to inform the prisoner that, in ease he
persisted in doing so, be must be put out of the hall. Wit-
ness told Mr. Gordon the instructions he had received; but
the latter would neither desist in his occupation nor leave
the place, upon which he (Saunders) attempted to obtain
possession of the pipe", but in the struggle it was torn in
half, each party retaining a portion. The prisoner then
struck witness in the mouth. and made it bleed, whereupon
ke wasgiven into custody.—Alderman Wilson asked Saunders
if the prisoner was in the habit of going to the house ?
Saunders replied that he had seen him about one hundred
times, and believed he was • proprictor.—Alderman Wibon:
What have you to say in defence, Mr. Gordon ?—Mr. Gor-
don : I am a proprietor and holder of East India stock, and
observing an advertisement stating that a meeting was to
take place at the Hanover-square Rooms last night relative
to India affairs I proceeded there, and was handed this little
pamphlet (understood to bear tatement of considered,f the
Rajah of Sahara), which, alter perusing, I it to
be my bounden duty to go to the India Holm this morning,
and having entered the Proprietors' room, I wrote that pia-
card, and, as has been my usual custom for yea-s, 1 seated
myself in the entrance hall, near the board used br the pro-
prietors to exhibit their advertisements, and exposed it to the
gaze of those who might pass in and out. My only desire
was to induce the proprietors to call a special g.
Wilson Wilson : But why do it on a day when there was no court of
proprietors ?—Mr. Gordon: Numbers read the placard,
was my object. The comply nant came up, and with-
whichln= previous warning, attempted to gain posseseion of the
, which I 'misted, and, considering I was areaulted,
.7.erf-defence, I certainly struck him.—Ald. Wilson:
There can be no doubt you have acted wrong in exhibiting
such a placard.—Mr. Gordon : I have often exhibited others,
relative to the state of prisons in India, and other mstters.—
Ald. Wilson: Lint if you are allowed to do this, twenty
others might claim the same right.—Alt. Wilson and
Ald. Farueombe, after consulting some time, said that at
first they were inclined to deal summarily w ith the case ;
but it appearing that other placards of a similar character
had been exhibited by the defendant (in w one of hich, in
reference to the case of Sir J. Cantu, a proprietor was called
a liar), they felt bound to sent! the case to the sessions,
allowing him bail, himself in 1001., and two sureties of 301.
each ; but on Mr. Gordon stating that it would be impossible
for him to procure the required bail, and promising not t
repeat the offence, he was discharged, on entering intohise
for
own recognizances, in the sum of 1001., to keep the peac
twelve months.
THAMES.—A FATHER-IN-LAW.-11/r. Louis Schein-
berbeg, merchant of Dantzic, and a member of the corpo-
I ration of that city, was charged with f llSMllling Mr. Usher,
a slop-seller, in the Minories. On Friday last the defendant
came to his shop and demanded m
some onhich ey.
the Complainant
referred him to his solicitor ; upo w defen
threatened to break the windows, and swore he would do for
him. The prisoner being called on for his defence, appeared
deeply effected. Ile said that about two years since he
married the complainant's daughter. lie was then carrying
on business as a merchant in Dantzic ; but his affairs getting
iutt confusion, he was induced by Usher to collect the wrack
of his fortune to commence business here. lie accord-
ingly did so, and placing seventy sovereigns, with 700 dollars
in Prussian notes, in a leathern belt round his person, he
came over, bringing with him 376 casks of Dantztc spruce.
This property, together
Platow a portmanteau contain-
ing several articles uf and wearing apparel,
be deposited with his fatuer-in-law, and then went
to Dover to meet his wife, at the same time handing to the
complainant a bill of lading for bedding, linen, jewellery,
and other articles which he expected would arrive. lie
missed his wife, who, on her arrival in Loudon, wrote to him
to say that her father was endeavouring to persuade her to
art from him, and to possess herself of his property. He
hastened to town, and demanded restitution of his goods and
money, but his father-in-law only laughed at him. He then
came to this court to seek redress, but was told he
could only obtain it by a civil action. After
that, not wishing to give scandal, he cited his father-
in-law to appear before the chief rabbi, but could not
get him to appear. Under these circumstances, being
stripped of all his property, and driven to a state bordering
upon madness, he might have used language of an nu-
' warrantable nature.—Mr. Ballantine said that if the defen-
dant's story was true, it plated the complainant in anything
bat an amiable or resift stable post on, but still the defendant
must not use language which, according to its common con-
struction, amounted to a threat of using a knife. It was not
I surprising, if the facts were as were stated, that the de-
fendant should feel poignantly on the subject, and it was
much to ha hoped that he would fall in with some honest
solicitor who would endeavour to procure hint redress.—
The defendant was then ordered to enter into his own re-
cognisances, to the amount of 201., to keep the peace
towards the plaintiff.

Cot eTac BANKoos.—Sir,—See Mg that the issue of bills
payable In London seven days after eight by country bankers is excit-
ing some attention in the metropolis, and is stigrnadsed ea an evaaon
of Mr Monett Peel's Act of last semion, I beg to inform you of a parti-
cular code, in the hope that you will either publish my communica-
tion, or advert to the subliat in your own masterly manner. On the
10th ult., I received a sum of money, , amongst other
things, of three XL bills of a bank located in Kent. They are so ex-
actly like the bank notes in circulation, that, looking only to the
amount, and not reading through the body of the bills, I took them
for notes, and locked them up till I wanted them. Yesterday, re-
quiring the money, 1 came to town and presented the notes at the
banking corn.spondentis of the bank referred to, expecting toget them
cashed ; but, to my surprise, I was told to place them for acceptance,
and I might have the money in ten days. Without meaning to say
that this was a cheat, I must say that I wits deceived. I might have
had a bill to take up, and might !nave been put to great ineouvenlease;
fortunately for me, I could wait for the money. Why shoted the
beakers make these bills exactly like bunk notes, unless meant
them to circulate as notes? A person who calls himself •
writing to one of your contemponince, recommends all bankers whowish to obey [behalf, to refuse to take up an of these suade-up bills, and
that ould soon put a stop to them. This w advice appears not
to be followed by the London bankers, who, accenting to the state-
I metal made in your contemporary, lend themselves to this erasion of

MONEY MARKET.
THURSDAY EVENING.
The position of the funds has undergone some altera-
tion to-day, in continuation however of the direction impressed
upon them some short time before the close of the market
Yesterday. Consols left off to-day 951 sellers for money, and
J5l to i for account. Between the highest price yesterday
and the closing prices to-day there is a difference in decline
of about I. Among the causes which contributed most to
the high rates attained yesterday were the purchase for de-
livery to-day of 50,0001. Consols for the Court of Bankruptcy, 4
and of 14,0001. more for the Court of Chancery for delivery I
to-morrow. The scarcity of money stock previously experi-
enced was somewhat aggravated by these money operations, ;”
and prices advanced accordingly until the rates between
money and account became equalised at 951 at one time, and
it was easier to sell stack for money at that figure than for
time. Later on in the day a large dealer afforded a sensible
relief to the market, however, by the sale of 150,0001. Con-
sols for money, and upon the completion of the business the
same party purchased to the extent into Reduced Threes. This
is considered to have been • beneficial operation, as
' Reduced Threes, and Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents.
as well, ruled, relatively with Consols, below their
fair proportionate value. Previously to these transactions
money stock had been borrowed for the account at the
highest rate by parties anxious not to miss their market.
The leaders would make an advantageous bargain in that
way, as not only having the free use of the money till the
opening, but also escaping, as it is understood, the deduction
of the income-tax, which would fall upon the borrower into a
whose name the stock would be transferred. Reduced •
Threes at the close were 94 to 4. Three-oud-s-Quarter per It
Cents., 964 to 1. The government broker took his usual ll
quantity of 15,0001. Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. for the
Il
savings banks, but for reduction of the National Debt made
his purchase of 1,2001. in Reduced Three per Cents. Bank 4:
