Henry Upson was charted with threetening Mr. Neales
upholsterer, of 482, Oxford-street, under the followiug cir
cumstauces :

The complainant stated that the defendant was one of •
gang of skittle sharpen who infested oxford-street, with
the view of entrapping country parsecs and making them
their dopes. Witness. Mr. Muthe, sad others, had found
it neo•mary to caution the public to avoid them, and this
had given aeons to the men who were thus frustrated in
their dodges. At about 11 o'clock that morning (Friday),
the defendant oame up to witness and said " You anon the
watch early to-day ;" and then uttering some very coarse
language, threatened to smut his (complainants)' heed
01150.
Defendant—No, what I said was, that if he would look
after his own bedsteads instead of interfering with me, he
would find it answer his purpose better. He is Always an.
noying me, and p.inting me out to the public wnen 1 pass
his door, and what right has he to do that!
Mr. Henry— What are you?
Defendant —1 au • skittle-sharper and pmbler, and I got
my living in the streets. I don't deny what I am, but it's
no business of hie. He has no right to insult me.
Mr. Henry—lt seem, that he has only told people that
you are what you admit yourself to be, and if you threaten
him spin I shan make you find heavy bail. TL:s time I
will discharge you on your entering into your own TOCOSDi-
DIDOOS in 201. to keep the peace for 12 months.

Four decently-dressed young moe, who pve the names
of Thomas Williams, Thomas Leine, Won. James Tomer,
and Wm. Jones, were charged with loitering about the
Strand with intent to commit a felony.
Police-constable F 146 deposed that he New the lone de.
(andante together in a doorway in the Strand, and knowing
two of them to be the amoebae/ of thieves he watched
them, being at the time iu plain clothes. He followed
them through several of the streets leading out of the
Strand, and into two or three different public-houses.
They walked at times separately, and then met again in
the same doorwa in which he first saw them. Eventually
witness p the aid of other constables, and took them
into custody " on suspicion."
Mr. Henry—On what charge did Toy take them?
Witness—l charged them with loitering about.
Mr. Henry—Did Ton see them do anything!
Witness—Only loiter about.
Inspector Felton explained that there had been so many
robberies lately in the district, after midnight, that police-
men in private clothes had been specially appointed to keep
watch. Several of these robberies had taken place at the
public.houses which kept open at night.
Mr. Henry—But the officer should have kept on walking
till be saw some stronger cause for apprehending them then
mere suspicion. No doubt the hour was a very improper
one for parlous to be loitering about. but that is not enough
to justify me in detaining them, and they must therefore be
discharged.
Ow of the defendants here begged to know if he couldn't
have his watch and property returned to him ; sand on
inquiry, it turned out that a gold watch had been taken
from him.
Mr. Henry said that it wee very strange that the witness
should have omitted to mention the only material point in
the case upon which a suspicion might be founded. The
watch might be detained a day or two for inquiry.
