from Mr. Thompson, military
_outfitter, Conduit-street,
by falsely representing himself to be Thomas Carew
Daniel, a gentleman lately appointed to the faid We
Guards.
Mr. George Lewis, jun., appeared for the prosecution ;
Mr. Wontner, jun., for the defence.
Mr. Lewis said he should carry the case forward by
calling the real Mr. Daniel.
Mr. Thelma Carew Daniel, of Strickeridge, n
to ear. Tiver-
ton said, in August last •be was garotted the 3rd
Dragoon Guards, and Ms appointment afterwarda ap-
sred in the London Gaorint and Tina papers. The
letters produced (read on the former examination) were
not in his Moderating, and he never gave the prisoner
nor any one else authority to write them, or to order
clothes for him from Mr. Thompeon, of Conduit-etreet.
Re had resided at the United Hotel, in Charles-
street, and did not know bow the prisoner
.became ac-
quainted with the fact that he had been appointed to the
Id Dragoon Guards, nor how the prisoner obtained his
address. The prisoner was not related to him in any way.
Herbst t Reeves, warder of the House of Correction, said
he was present at the Middlesex Sessions in 1866, when
the prisoner was convicted of stealing a coat, value
flow the Westminster Palace Hotel. The prisoner then
gave the name of William Henry Oakes Warren, the son
of General Warren, and was sentenced to nine months'

Mr. Lewis observed that the coat valued at 311. bad
something bulky in the pockets, which might have been
money.
Mr. Wontner, jun., asked for a remand, es be had only
just been instructed.
Mr. Lewis said as the prisoner was charged with utter-
ing a forged order, and the ewe mutt go to the Central
Criminal Court, he would not oppose a remand.
The prisoner was then remanded.

A respectably-dressed and delicate lookiug womitn,
named Alias Websger, aged 48, upholstered+, wife charged
with ringing a bell without any lawful excuse.
Thomas Troubridge said be was a clerk, and resided at
9, Hunriettn-stroet. Marylebone. About five on the pre-
vious aftei noon the prisoner came and rang his hell. His
daughter opened the door, when she (prisoner) tried to
force her way in. and made use of bad language. A police-
sergeant coming up, and hearing the language, took her
into custody.
Prisoner said she had become very prier, and was in bad
health, and she only went for money prosecutor owed
her.
Prosecutor raid he did not owe her anything.
Prisoner--Yon bad man.
June Troubridge, prosecutor's daughter, said she opened
the door, and prisoner abused her and tailed her a vile
name.
tlergeant Dibbin, 6 D, stated that, bearing the prisoner
making use of bad language, and causing a crowd to
assemble, be took her into custody.
lu answer to the charge prisoner said—This man lute
lived with me as my husband since his wife left him. He
gone to his wife, and I have lust my home, into which
he came, as well as my reputation, through him. He told
me that he had not a friend in the world, and I kept him.
I lent him several sums of money—scorer of pounds - -and
now lum without home, and penniless. Ilia wife never
came near him for twelve months: ho war a great drunkard,
and ud 41 to come and ring my bell at all hours of the night
when he lived with me at 5, Green-street.
Mr. Mansfield said it was a pitiable state of things. It
was his duty to prevent the neighbourhood being disturbed.
As prisoner hail-promised not to molest or annoy hum again,
she would be discharged.

SOUTHWARK.
Just before the charges were brought in, a tradesman
residing in the Old Kent-road entered the court with
rather &mice-looking lad. about seven years of age, closely
'tapped up in a coat, and un opening it there was exhi-
bind a strone dog ()lain lixtd round the boy's neck, las-
tested with a padlock; the other end of the chain was
broken and hanguig down. In introducing the lad to his
worships notice he said that he knew both th.• father awl
the mother, who were divorced some time ago. The
mother bad married again, and was living with her hus-
band near applicant, in the vicinity of the Old Kent-
road; and the father, who had charge of the children,
resided at Plumstead. The latter had for some time pa-t
stied so cruelly towards the lad that he had run away
before to mape his brutality, but his mother was unable
to keep him. Ile was neat buck, and aterording to the
loo's statement had since ben cruelly traded by his
hither. Tie dog chain was fixed round his neck with a
padlock, and the other end fastened to a wall where he
was ing.riroued. The be; roan:-:;;_d to release himself, and
went back again to /the mother on Wednesday afternoon,
alien, on examination, his back was found to be literally
covered with wheals and ruts recently inflicted. lie ',appli-
cant) was prereat at the examination, and am the mother
was unable to bring the boy to the police-court. he took
ul oa himself that duty, as he considered the farther ought
to be severely punished.
Kr. Partridge here observed that if any offence had leen
committal it was done at Plunadead, in the district of the
Wesdwieh Police-court. The boy had better be taken
there at once.
The applicant raid, that as he had a wish to k•er the
Try at his own house, he thought it letter to bring hoe to
this police court, as it was a very cruel case, and the
whole of the Ciretllllll4l4lo36 ought to be thoroughly ill..

Teatigated.
Mr. Partridge adrieed him to take the lad 10.-fure th.
magit•trate at Woolwiebliee-eourt at 2 o'clock.
The partiew then left the court.

A rlerk in the service ;11117.l'Untifel. the pmprii for of
white-lead works at Millwall, l'oplar, attended to answer
a summons which charged Mr. l'ontifex with using a fur-
nace so ClllStrUCted as WI to burn or consume IN own
smoke. This summons also stated that Mr. l'ontifev hul
been convicted three times, and upon the last corvirtion
under the Smoke Nuisance Art. In lS.i4 he was lined

i firer of the omit. and

prove the existence of the alleged nuisance. Ile said that

Mr. Woolryclv It is now the Ist of October. awl them
hoe tarsi considerable delay in prosecuting this caw.
Mr. William Sandison, the government engineer. said
the defendant and his !aspic had made reptatctl proaiiies
of amendment, and asked for time to complete their
improvements. There was one apparatus badly workel,
two furnaces without any apparatus at all, nuil the whole
affair was badly managed. There was another apparatus
for the consumption of smoke, and he could not say
whether it was badly worked or net.
Mr. Moody, barrister, on the part of the crown, asked
for an adjournment, for the purpose of giving fonual
evidence 01 three previous convictions, which he could not
do at present.
Mr. Smithson could prove all that was necessary.
The defendant's clerk said that every possible effort
would be made to comply with the law.
Mr. Woulrych said the nuisance had been going on for
many years, and ought to be forthwith abated. There
appeared to have been a septennial visitation and obser-
vation of the defendant's premises. He adjourned the
case for a fortnight, and should then expect to see it
brought before him in a perfect shape.
