THE POLICE COURT&

MANSION-HOUSE
William ZAlky,a powerful young man, described u a
hawker, and one Somme/ Smith, a gasfitter, were charged
before Mr. Alderman Stone with the following ou
conduct at Woodin's Shades, Bishopsgatsatreet
and also with assaulting the son of the proprietor.
From the evidence of Mr. Thomas William Wcodin, it
appeared that on the previous evening, shortly before 7
o'clock, the prisoners entered the Shades, No. 63, Bishops-
gate-street, when Lilley called for a glass of rum, but the
witness directed the barmaid not to serve him, because he
had previously been forbidden the house, owing to his pre-
vious bad conduct. In consequence of the refusal to be
served, Lilley addressed the most filthy abuse anddier=
language to the barmaid, upon which the witness
him to leave the house. Lilley became very violent, seized
the witness by the throat, tearing his necktie, shirt-
front, and waistcoat, and while so held by Lilley, the
other defendant (Smith) joined in the attack, and
struck witness several severe blows on the face and body.
A constable was sent for, and he in turn was attacked by
the defendants, and it required the aid of four other con-
stables to convey them to the police-station. Subsequently
they were bailed out, and after that the defendant Lilley
again returned to the complainant's house, and used the
moat violent threats towards him.
The evidence of the complainant was fully corroborated
by the testimony of Mr. Howarth, a commercial traveller,
and by poline-constable Brigp, WO.
The defendants, who pleaded intoxication, were con-
victed, and sentenced to pay a fine of 20s. each, or in
default 14 days imprisonment with hard labour ; and
the defendant Lilley was further ordered to enter into his
own recognizance in V. to keep the peace towards the
complainant for six months.
The fines were not forthcoming, Ann the defendants
were consigned to the cells below.

Christian 014ders, a pickle merchant, of Crispinetreet,
Spitallielda, rioted to be 135 yesrs of age, dwelling at No.
14, Tredegar-place, Bow-road, was brought up on remand
before Kr. Paget, charged with the abduction of 315insbeth
Tolley, a young lady aged 15 years sad 9 mont►s, under
cirmunstanoes already reported in our columns. Ad-
ditional evidence was given, and the prisoner was so-'
the I remanded.

Abraham Watson, of New-road, Hammersmith, was sum-
moned by Inspector Searle, of the T division, for removing
two cows within the metropolitan area without a license
from the commissioners.
Mr. Martin, for the defendant, did not dispuie the ease,
but pleaded strongly fora mit* ption of the peaalty. He
said it was • very hard awe. The defendant bought the
cows of a farmer at Lampton, near Hounslow, at the sup-
position that be would be able to remove them to Hammer-
smith. He applied twice to that court, also to the police,
who referred him to the Brantford bench, but neither
authority had power to grant him aa order. At length
the farmer threatened to turn the cows into the high road
if the defendant did not fetch them away, and he was left
in a dilemma as to what course to pursue. Haring done
all he oould to obtain the eider, he had no alto-wave but
to remove the cows.
Mr. Dayman said the authorities beyond the metropolia
had no power to grant an order except in two instances,
one being to enable persons to remove cows a certain dis-
tance for breeding purposes, and the other from one part
of a holding to another. The object of the order in council
was to prevent cattle from being removed into a district
where perhaps there was no disease.
Mr. Martin said the cows were free from the disease.
Mr. Da maid be felt bound to be exceediaidy strict
in all such oases. He lined the defendant the full penalty
of 201. and 2s. costs, and told Mr. Martin that he could
memorialise the Becretarf of State fora mitigation, as ell
the orders relating to the removal of cattle emanated from
the Lards Commissioners, of whom Sir George Grey was
one. He (Mr. Dayman) allowed the defeedant one month
to pay the pen ting his application
so es to afford him evert
_opportunity
of maication to the Secretary of Paste.
