LOVE IV A KITCHEN.—W. F. Sheldon was yeaterday brought
up before the sitting Magistrate, Laing, Esq. on the following
charge :
It appeared from the statement of Cosgrove the' watchman, that
while going his rounds in Wilson-street, Spa fields. about half-past.
one o'clock on Stodgy morning, he discovered the defendant get.
ling over the rails, and saw aim leap down into the Uhl/. Think-
ing all was not right, the watchman immediately rang the bell, and
the occupier of the bone, a Mr. Rose, made his appearance, to
whom he related what had happened ; he (the watchman) then by
desire of lilt. Rose went down into the kitchen, where he dis-
covered two female servants In bed, and the defendant secreted In
the aforesaid hair,.
The defendant, in order to account for his conduct, stated that
he is an assistant to Mr. Rose, who is a lehool.maater, residing in
the house alluded to, and that being in liquor, he thought he had
better sleep .in the cellar than disturb the family at that hour,
especially as Mrs. H. was very ill. Ile, however, did knock
once, but was not heard, and, theretore, he leapt over the rails to
get into the cellar.
Mr. Lama inquired whether he had any witness to corroborate
what he had stated, when a young female. apparently enceinte, im-
mediately stepped forward, stating herself to be a servant in the
family of Mr. Rose, and said that Mr. Sheldon was an assistant,
lodging In the house (speak louder, my deer, said Mr. S.), and
on Saturday night, when the family had retired to repose and the
doors had been locked for sortie time, a knock was given at the
door, but that being so frequent a circumstance, no attention wee
paid to it.
Th 2 watchman here-remarked, that the defendant had grossly
assaulted him while in the execution of his duty.
Mr. Sheldon admitted having given the watchman one blow, but
no more. Ile was ordered to find bail for the assault.

ATTEMPT TO BWOOT TWO OF THE 00W-9TREET PATROL.
—Yesterday JoFix Ryas' a strong athletic Irishman, was brought
before 1). VV. (Iregerie, Esq. the Itlagiorate, charged with threat-
ening to shoot two of the dismounted police, named Evans and
Warren. The prisoner bore a terrific appearance, and was env..
loped in a large shaggy great coat.
li appeared from the evidence of the two patrol, that at about
twelve o clock the night before they were proceeding towards Pim.
lieu, along the King's-road, on their way to town, when near Wal.
ham.green they found the prisoner huddled up on the foot-path.
Near him was laid a large stick, which on Evans looking at, found
it contained a dirk about a foot long, and under his great coat, con-
cealed very cuefully, they found a pistol. The officers attempted
to secure the weapons, but were powerfully resisted by the prisoner,
who endeavoured to cook the pistol, when Evans drew his cutlass
and pushed it egkinst his breast. and declared that if he did not de.
Myer quietly he.woulil run him through: upon which both officers
tusked upon him, aqd after much difficulty succeeded in securing

the fire-arms and the stick, eisekultilaseety conveyed him in ea>.
tody to St. lilargaet's watchhOuse.
The Magistrate asked him ia give some account of himself, anti
how he got possession of the pistol and stick.
The prisoner said he was a private Watchman to a market gar-
den& named Milieu, at Fulham, and that he carried the weapols
about him for the protection of his master's property.
The Magistrate inquired if the pistol was 1%140, and was an-
swered by the officers in the affirmative.
lily. (inEaostie asked if Mr. Milieu's grounds were where the
prisoner was found and was told that they were at souaedistance,
and moreover the prisoner was huddled up on the foot-path, which
had a very suspicious look.
The prisoner was temanded till to-morrow (this day) for re.
examination.
