BOW-STREET.
Thomas Marlin Wheeler, secretary to the Friend in Hand,
emeMensive friendly society, was charged with embezzling a
gamed 61. belonging to the moiety. The prosecutors were
four permns who had been director' of the society, but had
bees discharged since the commission of the alleged offence
byes* defendant. The other five directors opposed the pre-
sent prosecution. The prosecutes/ had originally wind for
• 1111=11011/ against the defendant, but the magistrate had sr
!need to hese one, and bed also given it al his opinion that
the defendant could not legally be given into custody for the
ohms. Notwithstanding this the defendant had been given
Into custody. The charge made against the defendant was
for receiving 10/. from a local agent, and neglecting to enter
in the books of the company more than 61., but upon a Md.
ing of the directors at BB rmingbam the charge had been
tally investigated and the majority of the dreams were
satisfied with ths'defendant's explanation of the dream-
g' anew, and retuned to prosecute him.
Mr. John Dross, one of the late director*, gave ev'tdenee as
to the charge, bat in cross-examination be stated that he and
the ether three late dire:tors had received salaries for diffe-
rent departments of the business of the society.—Thts ent-
ities admitted that he and the three other directors who
promoted, besides being director', had salaries of 10a. a
week each, and bold other offices in the society. Witness
wee corresponding clerk at 30s. • week. His father was
also a clerk at 2/, ss. a week, and a director at 10s. a week,
sad the other two prosecutors (also father and sou) had
Medlar emoluments. Them were nine directors, fins of whom
were opposed to them proceedings, and In favour of the dis-
missal of the witness and the other three prosecutors. Dis-
satisfaction had been espreesed by the members at their
holding these ofgows, and the defendant, under the authority
given him by the MN. bad suspended them, and called the
meeting et whisk they were discharged. They had offered
to give the defendant 1601. a year for life if be would leave
the society, or continue him in office, with additional onsoltt-
remits, on condition that ho would keep silence as to all that
bad occurred, and give up the power of suspending the
directors. These proposal, he refused, and they then gave
him Into custody for the alleged fraud the day before the
metier took place at Birmingham at which his conduct
was to be considered.
Kr. Henry Whig heard the evidence, which was very
lengthy, dismiesed the charge.
WORSHIP-STREET.
John Thomas &silk, bookseller, of Anchor-shest, Shone- ,
ditch, appeared in answer to • charge preferred against him
by one of the trustees of the "Court Kindness " Lodge of
the "Ancient Order of Foresters," to which he had for tome
=been ...a rtery, of having received certain moneys
or to the society, and unlawfully misapplying and
withholding the same. The defalcations extended over a
brag period, and they consisted of ants for various amounts

Act, 18th and 19th Vic., cap. 63, sec. 24, which random en

ho shall be proved to be he default of, but to • penalty in
a further sum net mending 201., costs not exceeding 20a., or
in default three month,' imprisonment. The liability was
disputed on the ground that the society kept its accounts In a
most irregular manner, and that the "misty had no claim on
the accused, as the moneys waisted of gums received from
Individual members, to be paid to the society, who were the

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Mrs. Taylor, of r; We ao • 11-. aare , a lodg-
ing hottatrkt eper, was thargcd with stealing atonal phew of
valuable antique china, the prorrty of the Countess de la

ft; counter, accompaaled by Captain Prysa, M.P., was
in attendance. .

It a , from the evidence, that the complainant had
lod at the defendant'. house for several weeks, and bad
depoeited the china in her care. About the middle of lut
month the complainant asked for her property, and was an-
owned by the defendant that she knew nothing about It.
The china was afterward" found at the hoses of a young man
named Arnelow, formerly a servant in the employ of the
complainant, who said that it bad been given tv him by the
defendant to take to her sistee's residence, and that be had
not had time to do so. A melee/ was taken into custody
upon a charge of stealing the property, but upon this state-

against the defendant.
The defence on the part of Mrs. Taylor 'wee thatch' kept
the property in question to secure herself from the lees of -a
sum of money owing to bar by the complainant. There were
several persona in court who could vouch for her respect-

his show cage as specimen.
The defence was that the portraits were likenesses of
the defendant's wife, end were exhibited without his congest,
after he had complained of the act.
Mr. Bingham, in giving judgment, raid it appeared that
the cmpleinant had purchased the business of a photo-
grapher, together with the et tele, which contained, among
other articles, the portraits of defendant's wife, and these
poriraita were hung up at his door es a sample of his style
of art. The defeniant requested that they might be re-
moved, bat this request being refused, be obtained his end
by destroying the work with a stick. Whether an artist,
an alehouse keeper, or any other person might, after notice
of objection, seek to attract cnotomers by hanging up a por-
trait of hie neighbour's wife as a sign either for its be rut,
or deformity, was at least very questionable; bat even it
the exhibition was a nuisance, which the law would compel
him to abate, It was clearly unlawful for the defendant to
redress hie grievance by violence. lie mat, therefore, pay
for the damage done, but inasmuch as the exhibitor was,
under the circumstances, entitled to no sympathy, the amount
