MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Mr. Morris, solicitor, of NO.4li,ieie.eWr-square, accom-
panied by • gentleman, waited upon Mr. Tyrwhitt, and said
that the gentlemen, his client, being desirous of obtaining
an advanoe of 4,000/., mud seeing an advertisement in a paper
in which • person, residing at No. 6, Piccadilly, professed to
lend money at 4 per cent., called upon the person, with the
view of obtaining the amount he required, and gave him as
near as possible the particulars of the security he proposed
to offer for the same, and these were pronounced to
be satisfactory as for as could be told at the time.
The person ultimately offered to advance his client
some few hundreds in CAM he should require the
money, and his solicitor approved the security offered.
On the faith of throe representations, and in the full
belief that the person had the necessary mesas at his com-
mand, his client banded him a cheque upon his bankers
for 101., which was duly paid, the person insisting on that
amount as a preliminary fee towards defrayingthe expenses
of the loan. Some time afterwards his client again called
upon the person, who asked him what be would agree
to pay him in the event of his succeeding in its completion,
and asked him if he would give 25/. down and a promise
of 75/., which he agreed to do, and he gave the person •
promissory note or bill of exchange for 2:,1., payable on
the Ist of November, and signed an agreement to pay the
751. on the completion of the advance. Finding that
little or no progress was being made by the person to
complete, be called on his solicitors, and in consequence
of the opinion they gave and information that had subse-
quently been received by his client, he .lMr. Morris) was
instructed to ask his worship's advice in the matter.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said he could not do anything in the
matter, hut he thought publicity being given to the appli-
cation might be attended with a good result.

THE CHAROZ OF ASSAULT IN • RAILWAY CAR-
ItIAGE.—On the 14th instant, before the mayor and a
bench of magistrates at Cambridge, Augustus Henry
Ward, merchant, of Wisbeach. was convicted under the
bye-laws of the Great Eastern Railway Company in a
penalty of 40e. for wilfully interfering with the comfort
of another passenger travelling in the same carriage. The
virtual complainant upon that occasion (the summons
having been taken out by the company on public grounds)
was a young lady, named Lucy Williams, fourteen and '
a half years of age, who was on her way from Norwich to
school at St. John's-wood. At the close of the former
hearings summons was applied for and obtained by Mr.
Preston, solicitor, of Brentwood, for the assault upon the
young lady, and on Tuesday (yesterday), at Cambridge,
the case came on for hearing. Mr. Straight, barrister,
instructed by Mr. l'rcston, of Brentwood, appeared to
support the complaint ; and Mr. Naylor, barrister, in-
structed
by Mr. Ellison, of Cambridge, for the defendant.
Mr. Ward was present during the proceedings. The evi-
dence of Mica Williams on the former occasion will be fresh
in the recollection of our readers. She repeated it yester-
day, and the bench decided that they had uo alternative
but to convict. They considered the case proved, and
sentenced Mr. Ward to pay the full penalty of and
expenses, or undergo two months' imprisonment and hard
labour. Mr. Naylor asked for a case for the court above,
and the same was granted as a matter of course.
MURPHY, THE LEuTURER, AT BOLTON. —On
Monday night, Murphy attended at Bolton to deliver the
first of a series of anti-popery lectures. His agent bad
last week engaged the Baths Assembly Rooms, but on the
person in charge, Mr. Johnson, learning that it was for
Murphy, he sent the money back. Nevertheless, large
placards announcing the lectures were poetedon the walls,
and on Monday a second was posted, to the following effect:
—" Protestants of Bolton, follow the noble example of
the men of Blackburn, and assert your right to freedom of
speech. The Protestant Electoral Union, by its authorised
agent, engaged and paid for the Baths Assembly Rooms.
They now want to close them against us. Meet us at the
rooms at 8 o'clock on Monday night, and maintain your
liberties. Put your trust in God, and keep your powder
dry. God save the Queen. W. Murphy. .1. Houston."
In the afternoon Murphy's party went into the rooms, and
had to be ejected by the police. As a precautionary
measure, Superintendent Harrison. Inspector Beech, and
30 police-officers, with 10 assistants, were stationed in front
of the buildings in the evening. By 8 o'clock the crowd
numbered about 1,000. A cab with the Murphy party
came up. One of them demanded admittance, but on
being told that the police would interfere if an attempt
was made to enter by force, Murphy addressed the
crowd, and then drove off amid loud booting and yells.
