ohejeughter against a publican named Harris, under 1
these aircumetances. It appeared that the deceased, who I
been forbidden the house, attempted to forte him-

into the premises, and the prisoner therefore re-
moved him by force. This he was undoubtedly justified
tit gob', but it was alleged that the prisoner bad
Area the deceased a blow from which he fen against the
kerb, indicting an injury to the head which had caused '
the death. If this should be proved to their satisfaction

would be their duty to return a true bill. The learned
itheeecler alluded to an indictment against a person for
reereeing into his house, which was not licensed for that
eneocee, a lunatic for hire or reward. No doubt the
statute which was alleged to have been infringed had
hem pasted with a view to the protection of persons suffer-

been preferred in order to show the law cannot he infringed
with impunity. The Recorder then remitted the grand

THE POLICE COURTS.
(THIS DAY.)

CLERKENWELL
RIOT IN THE ST. PANCRAS WOREROVSR.

Eliarkil7ls;:is, aged 20, Frances Spring, aged 19, and
Edrural Rom, aged iG, inmates of the St. Pancras Work-
house, who were described on the charge sheet as having
no occupation, were charged before Mr. Cooke with insu-
bordinate conduct whilst inmates of the workhouse, and
Rosa was further charged with violently assaulting Mr.
Alexander Cameron Morrison, the master, atthe same time
sad place.
The Master of the Workhouse stated that on Saturday
afternoon the defendants came to him to ask him for • '
ticket of leave of absence. In consequence of the bad cha-
ncier of Ross he refused to grant it to him, on which he
made use of very bad language, and created a great dis-
turbance. He ordered him to go to the Separation Ward,
but this he refused to do, and turned round, put himself
in • fighting attitude and made • hit at him (the
master). He put his arm out to push him
away, and in doing so might have touched him on
the face. The male d,efendant kicked him on the legs, and
he now felt pain from the effects of the kick. He at last
got the defendant down, and he put his knees on his
shoulder to keep him down, and in the wriggling about
the defend-kid made him slip his knee, which went on to
hi face ; and if it hurt him he was very sorry for it. The
defendant again kicked him, and that with such force that
it had lamed him.

Mr. Cooke—You have said nothing about the females.
Teat have you brought them here for?
The Molter—For making use of the most outrageous,
indecent laic-nage I have ever heard. The young women
sae generally well conducted, but the language they
mule use of ea Saturday was so bad, that I should not
lan tu pollute the ears of the court or my mouth with it.
The boy is known as very violent, and has been sentenced
et two months' hard labour in the House of Correction for
mesultiug the labour master.
Mr. Chapman, the labour master, gave confirmatory tes-
tawny, and said he saw the boy kick the master, and
lewd the young women make use of filthy disgusting
ltichardson, an inmate, said he saw the boy Ross kick
tie master, and then saw the master get him down. The
muter then put his knee on the boy's shoulder, and in
is struegle the master's knee got on his face.
The defendant Ross said the master knocked him down,
pit his hand over his mouth, to prevent his screams from
king heard, and pulled him up by the hair of the head.
He was sure that he did not use abusive language towards
the master. Since he had been sentenced to the two
einths• hard labour, the master and the labour-superin-
Latent were always twitting him, and saying that they
would send him again to prison.
The female defendant' said that if they did call out they
Tern sure that they did not make use of bad language.
Mr. Morrisout said that the boy bad been brought up in
the school, and had teen sent to sea, but nothing could be
tune with him, an he was a violent ill-tempered boy, and in
the constant habit of' annoying and insulting the old men.
Be had brought the defendants here forthe purpose of keep-
Nap the discipline of the house.
Mr. Cooke said that there was not the least doubt that
)toss had been guilty of the charge imputed to him, and it
182 very plain that he was a very bad boy. It was a very
led return to make for being supported at the expense of
the public, to be guilty of insubordination. That could
enter be allowed. Ile had better be careful what he was
shoat, for if he was brought here again on such • i
chirp he wonl.l he dealt with very severely. He should
tow only sentence him to one month's hard labour
in the House of Correction. With respect to the girls
they onght to have known better, for they were living on
?dale charity. Thcy 'would have to be imprisoned for
nee day, but they might depend on it if they were brought
thee again on such a charge they would not get off so
lightly,

The hov Ross said that he was sorry for what he had
clue andwould take care never to come here again.
The other defendants were removed laughing from the
deck.
