CURIOUS CASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY,

At the Brighton Police 'Court, a gentleman who gave his
name as John Newton Cooper, a solicitor, made a complaint
against the police constable on duty at the theatre on the
previous night, about a quarter before twelve. He stated that
he was coming out of the theatre, accompanied by a lady,
when a gentleman, whom he, did not know, was standing on
the steps annoying ladies as they passed, and as he particularly
annoyed the lady he was with, he (Mr. Cooper) remon-
strated with him on his conduct. The gentleman made
no apology, but immediately seized complainant by the
throat, shook him, and fixed him against the wall, and it
was with the greatest difficulty he released himself. The
policeman on duty saw the whole of the transaction, and
he desired bins to take the gentleman into custody,
but he refused to do so, and merely said, '6 Oh, it
Lord Ernest Vane." Mr. White, chief constable, thought it
impossible that the policeman, who was an excellent officer,
could have seen so much of the affair as Mr. Cooper sup-
posed, became the policeman would not have flinched a
moment from doing his duty, particularly 83 be (Mr. W.) had
found it necessary, in consequence of several repeated corn.
plaints, to give positive instructions to the police to apprehend
ord Ernest Vane Tempest, if he was found creating a
disturbance, or in any way committing a breach of the
peace in the streets, Mr, White added, that be
would lay the matter before the watch committee,
at their next meeting, in order that the conduct
of the policeman might be enquired into. Mr. Cooper expressed
hitiiself satisfied, but did not then apply for a summons for the
assault, but subsequently a summons was granted and made
out in the name of Lnrd Ernest Vane. On the officer, how-
ever, servine, the summons, it was discovered that the police-
man had made a mistake, and that the gentleman who Qom.
Mitted the assault on Mr. Cooper was Captain Burt, Tho
summons was accordingly amended, and the case is fixed for
hearing on Thursday,

A CURIOUS PRESENTATION.—On Monday last, by
invitation of Mr. Joseph Sturge, and a number of gentle-
men interested in the Sodety for the Suppression of
Climbing Boys, between 60 and 70 of the master sweeps
of Birmingham assembled at the public office of that
town, and were each presented with one of Glass's patent
machines, upon their signing an agreement not to employ
