THI POLICE COURT&

LAMBETH.
Williams Mill and /aka Mitchell, builders' labourers,
were phased at the bar before Mr. Elliott on the following
somewhat ex ordinary charge:—Mrs. Charlotte Ford a
widow, residing at 33, Royal-street, Stangate, said that
ou that morning when about to it down to breakfast
with her family, she heard a peat noise In the street, and
on going to see what was the matter she observed a large
'recourse of people, and found the prisoners in the act of
removing the sash and front window. She asked them
what they meant by such conduct, and they replied that
they were in the employment of Mr. Lipeoomb, a builder
at Dockhead, and were brought there by their foreman to
take down that and other houses and carry the materials
to the premises of their master. She told them that neither
they nor their master bad anything to do with her house, and
on their persisting in removing the sash she gave them into
custody. In reply to the questions of the magistrate the
witness said that for time pest she had not paid any rent
for the house, and it was her opinion that the real owner
was abroad. A person of the name of Hale laid claim to
it, but it was her witness's belief that he had not the
sbghtest right to it.
When asked what they had to say, the prisoners repeated
that which they bad told the last witness, and mid their
foreman, Mr. Bedford, was outside to confirm their state-
ment.
Bedford here entered the witness-box, and said that a
person calling himself Thomas G. Owen, maze=
himself as the surveyor of Sir Matthew Hale,
with his master, Mr. Lipscomb, to take down fifty or sixty
houses in the neighbourhood, and that he, Mr. Lipscomb,
was to carry away the materials at a certain price. On
that morning he took the prisoners with him to commence
the job, and having the order of Mr. Owen to commence
at the house, 33, Royal .street, St
Mr. Elliott—Whme is this Mr.
Owen!
Witnese—He was down at the house this morning, and I
kept my eye close on him until we came to this court, but
just as the ease was Galled on he teenaged to give me the
I slip. He received 41. out of the 8/. which he was to have
i for the materials of the house, and here is his receipt for

the money.
Mr. Elliott desired that search should be made for Mr.
Owen in the neighbourhood ; and this wee done, but he
could not be found.
A respectable-looking person here stood forward, and
stated that the whole neighbourhood was in • state of
excitement and alarm, in consequence of another attempt
made by a person Galling himself Sir Matthew Hale to
himself of the property in • large district of Lam-
in his character of lordof the manor ; but it was his
opinion that his assumption to the property wee just on a
par with his assumption of the title.
Mr. Elliott remarked that it was not the first time Mr.
Hale had been beard of at this court, and adjourned the
aim to a future day, for the attendance of Mr. Owen and
Mr. Lipscomb.
