MIDDLESEX' ADJOURNED SESSIONS, OCT. 1.

James Goodrril and Bertiantin Glanville were indicted for es-
strutting George Henry Beane, who stated that he WA, a watertnan ,
plying at the Tower-stairs, and on the Ist of August was shoving
his boat off from the Venus steam-packet, when a piece of beef •
was thrown at him, which, If it had struck him overt:oval. would,
beyond'sll doubt. have driven him under the paddle wheels, and
drowned him, though he could have swam like a fish. The de.
fendants were under steward and engiseer on board the packet, hut
the prosecutor did rot see either of them commit the outrage.
A bucket of water was likewise thrown oil him. Tne witness not
being able to swear the assault against either of the defendants, the
Jury found them both—Nut Guilty.
Thomas Luekyrr was indicted for assaulting a little girl of the
name of Mary Agnes.
The witness deposed that she was preventing two children
quarrelling, when the defendant came out and struck her twice
very severely with a whip ; the second blow knocked her down the
stairs, and she still felt its effects, although given on the 113th of
July. She thought that the assault happened about five is the
evening.
The evidence was corroborated.
In his defence the prisoner called a Mr. Brown, who swore that
the prisoner drank tea with him on the evening in question, and
was in his house from tour o'clock till nearly six.
The Jury did not seem to think that the alibi was a sufficient
one, for they immediately found the defendant guilty, and he was
fined 41. with liberty to speak to the prosecutrix.
William Thomarm was indicted for the assault of Anne Ed-
wards, on the 23ffJuly.
Anne Edwards stated that she hail been the servant of the de-
fendant, but finding the workaoo hard for her, had given warning,
on which Captain Newburgh, a lodger in the house, hired her as
his own servant. The Captain went out one day in his gig, and
told her to get dinner ready by eight o'clock ; she was occupied in
so doing, when Thompson ran down and'swore that he would turn
her out of the biotite, and struck her violently on the shoulder, on
which she cried " Murder," and ran up +tries.
On cross-examination by Mr. ANDREWS, the witness said
that a female servant of Ike name of Anne Philpot was not in the
kitchen at the time of the assanit, and that she did not run up
stairs after the assault, and scream " Murder" from the window.
For the defence, Mr. Awronwe called Anne Philpot, who swore
that she was in the kitchen when the assault happened—that the
plaintiff was very impudent to Mrs. Thompson, and that she ran
up to the first-floor window, and screamed " Murder." Her mu-
ter did not strike her, but only pushed her out by the shoulders.
Brant, a constable, was passing by, and seeing a mob went in,
when Mr. Thompson gave charge of his servant, hut afterwards
altered his mind, and said he would apply to Cant. Newbury.
The Jury instantly returned a verdict of Guilty, or which the
Chairman sentenced the defendant to pay a fine of 201., with
liberty to speak to the proaectorix.
By this asoteoce the girl will receive 101., from which her ex-
peeses are to be paid.
Edward Neale, a young man, was indicted for assaulting a
peace.officer of the name of John Leming'.
Mr. C. PHILLIPS, for the defence, admitted that the assault
was clearly proved, but dwelt much on tine tact, which was stated
in the course of the evidence, that after the assault, and before the
prosecutor knew where to find the defendant, the latter himself
came voluntarily to the prosecutnt's house to apologize, and ex-
press how sorry he was that a little liquor should have so fur made
him forget himself as to commit the assault in question ; this was
entirely admitted by the complainant as a tact, but not as a repara-
tion, and he had therefore pursued the defendant to conviction.
On the Jury returning a verdict of Guilty,
The Catataxaw said, that the Court was bound to protect
peace.ofEcers, though the complexion of the case was certainly
most materially altered by the voluntary and ample apology which
the defendant had made to the officer, as soon as his reason re-
turned to him. Ceder that palliating eircumetanee, the Court
would content itself with seotencing him to be imprisoned for the
term of seven days, and then to be discharged.
Dy the desire of the Chairman, the defendant was kept in Court
till the end of the sitting, when his punishment was further miti-
gated to three days' imprisonment, the Court expressing a high
opinion of the contrition that he had evinced.
David Bryant stood indicted for assaulting Judith Sheen on the
16th of August last.
Mr. ALLEY stated the case for the prosecution. The assault
was do most outrageous nature, and was committed in the Court
of Requests for the Tower Hamlets, in the presence of the Com-
missioners of the Court, by whom the present prosecution was in.
stituted, in the hope that the judgment of the Court would prevent
the occurrence of such outrages in future.
Judith Sheen, being sworn, stated, that on the day named in the
Indictment, she appeared in the Court of Requests to ans wen a
summons obtained against her by the defendant for an alleged debt
of 13s. The Commissioners, after hearing the case, deeidel, that
there was only 31. due to him. On hearing the decision he flew
into a violent passion, and came up to her, and struck her violently
in the face, so as to knock her down, and cause the blood to gush
out of her mouth and nose.
Gregory, one of the Commissioners, and Longhouse, the
beadle, confirmed this account. and also swore positively that •no
provocation was given him by the woman.
For the defence three witnesses were called, who swore they saw
the woman strike the first ~!ow.
The Jury instantly found him Guilty.
The CHAIRMAN told him he hail aggravated his case by calling
witnesses to swear to what every body in court must believe to be
false. It really was lamentable to see the numbers who were con-
tinually coming into that Court and perjuring themselves ; indeed
the crime had now become so common, that it seemed to have lost
all its horror, and he feared it would continue to increase till come
example!wss made. The sentence of the Court was, that he be im-
prisoned two months and kept to hard labour.

POLICE.

MANSION-HOUSE.

On Saturday Joseph Hurt, one of the children of Israel, aged
about 16, appeared to answer the complailit of Mrs. Eli:. Levy,
whose beautiful figure and dark eyes reminded us of the exquisite
description of Rebecca, in the admirable novel of Ivanhoe. She was
attended by a tribe of Israelites. Considerable confusion was oc.
casioned by their entree.
As soon as silence was restored, the complainant, after curt-
seying gracefully to the Magistrate, made the following state-
ment:—She had been some few yews married to Mr. Abraham
Levy, during which time they lived happily together, but their
domestic comfort was entirely destroyed by the defendant, who
had been taken into the service of her husband as an apprentice
Her husband recently had occasion to go out of town for a few
days, and sines his return the defendant hadAboasted to 'erectsl of
their mutual friends that he had, during his absence, enjoyed the
favours of the complainant. (In her questioning hint on the sub-
ject, he repeated his statement, and her husband at length was in-
duced to believe his story, and in consequence treated her with
neglect, This was more than she could bear, and the next time
she met the defendant she would have murdered him, but for
the interposition of some by-standers. She then solemnly declared
that every word of his statement wits false, and that Ite had circu-
lated the same report relative to several other women.
Here a host of Ladies from the neighbourhoodlof Houndstlitch
stepped forward, all equally anxious to bear testimony to the
truth of the above statement, each of whom were attended by their
husbands, whose jealous looks intimated that they were not quite
satisfied on the . subject

Mr. Alderman Scholey (who sat for the Lord Mayor) asked if
the complainant had any witnesses to corroborate her asvertion ? to
which she replied in the affirmative, and called several persons,
who proved that they had heard the offensive words uttered by the
defendant,

In his defence the Jewish Lothori said, that the statements lie
had made were partly untrue. On a late occasion, when his
master was out of town, the complainant had invited him to share
her bed, saying, that as the window shutters of her mom were out
of repair she dreaded sleeping done, end was therefore anxious for
his company as an additionsleprotection ; and he not having so
great a shire of virtue as his namesake manifested when a similar
application was made to him by Mrs. Potiphar, complied with her
request ; but he could assure is Worship that nothing improper
took plate between them ; and although the report he had after-
wards circulated was a little exaggerated, yet the greater part was
true.
This declaration was answered by an exclamation from the ladies
aforesaid of " What a wretch I" while their husbands shrugged
up theirshoulders, as if they hesitated which to believe.
The Magistrate dismissed the case, and advised. the parties to
apply to their High Priest on the subject.
It was intimated to the defendant that the punishment for his of-
fence was by the Jewish law settled that he should be stoned to
death.'

John Gabey was examined on suspicion of 'being copcemed in a
daring burglary, that was committed on Friday night in the house
of Mr. Gifford, a wholesale tobacconist, in Suffolk-lane.
The prosecutor stated, that the prisoner had for some time put
been employed by him to toll llavannah segars, which were ex-
tremely valuable. On Friday night his warehouse was broke
open, and the semi which had been manufactured by the prisoner,
and kept in a private part of the warehouse known only to the pri-
soner, were stolen to the amount of upwards of 3001. On his
coming to the warehouse on Friday morning he was questioned
about the goods, end the answer he gave being unsatisfactory be
was given in charge to an officer.
He was remanded until further inquiries can be made.

GUILDHALL
On Saturday John Mho* flichardron, the young man who was
remanded on a former day on n charge of having been concerned
with a man named Wllimn, who was tried at the last Old Bailey
seseinns, in committing sundry fraud. by means of obtaining Bina
of Exchange frnin different credulous persona, was brought
up for re-examination; bet, after waiting one hour, 111 r. A Iderntan
Cox discharged him, no prosecutor appearing. sheritrs ollicer
was, however, in attendance, who iterated him for debt.
Soon after the prisoner *as removed from the bar, Mr. Creed,
the tailor. who was originally, concerned in the prosenstion, ap•
peered with his witnesses, arid some ducumentaay evidence, sorb
as letters, bills of exchange, &c., from aritio he assert"' that he
could substantiate a clear case of fraud against Sighardson, it not
of forgery.
The Alderman, however, declined interfering, alleging that as
Richardson was in custody for debt, he might be detained, and
brought up on 31ond.sy

HOW-STREET.
Foaosar ott M EMS. SANSOII Asto Co's 13.%1C.—The fate
of Horger,:al,as De (;!Ford, the ci-detant Major, who was im-
plicated in this transaction, is still undecided. It was confidently
erpeeted that tlte prlsoney could have been brought Ito on Saturday
for final examination, and 031 he would have been either commit-
tal or discharged.
At twelve o cloak, Mr. Hurnphnes, who conducts the defence,
moue into the race. but so Freshfield, the Solicitor for the
Bank, nor any of the witnesses, had not arrived. Mr. HALLS, the
sitting Magistutre. said it would he better that thecase should stand
over wail one o'clock. and Mr. Humphries went away. Soon af-
terwards, Mr. Freshfield appeared, but hone of the other parties
having come forward at two o'clock, Mr. H•f.Le said, that under
every circumstance it might be as well to postpone the investigation
' until Tuesday.
Mr. Frealiiiild said he saw no objection to this arrangement, and
it was co entered ; Mr. Freshfield undertaking to apprise the pi-
' goner's solicitor of the change.
- - - - -

A simple looking young nt-- In having made one of his best bows
to the bench, intimated that be had a communication or a very se-
riou► nature to make. The Magistrate (Mr. flails) was. of course,
all ear, and the applicant went on to say, that he had purchased a
horse from one of those honourable gentlemen--the Yorkshire
Dealers., for which he had paid down in hard cash a very consider-
able price, urder a positive assurance that the Bucephalus should
prove " sound wind and limb t" but what was his consternation.
surprise, and dismay, to find that his highly panegyrised animal
had, at the time of sale, such a complication of disorders, that all
the doctors of Paris, and Edinburgh to boot, would not be able to
restore him to a state of convalescence. In fact, beside being
spavined, thrusited, broken-winded, and cat-hummed, he was ac-
tually in the state of a gallofing consumption, though there was
not a gallop in his bones. l'he applicant having rung all the
changes un the veterinary chimes, to the great edification of Mr.
Halls, he at length informed that gentleman that the object of his
present visit was to know whether his Worship might not issue a
warrant for this faithless warranter, who had cheated Mtn into the
belief that the sick horse was a sound one. .

Mr. HALLS, however, declined interfering, and recommended
the applicant to consult his elicitor. as an action at common law
was the only medium of indemnifying himself for any loss sus-
tained under such circumstances.
lIATTON-GARDEN.
The landlord of the Sun public-house, Sutton-street, Clerken-
well, was on Saturday brought up, charged with permitting gam-
bling in his house. A letter, signed by a person giving it residence
in the street, was sent to the office, saying, that a constant scene of
gambling, raffling with dice, &c. was carried on in the house, and
two officers were despached in consequence. They found a party
raffling with dice, and took them all into custody.
The landlord said that he had been seven years a publican, and
had kept that house two years, but never permitted gambling of
any description. Ile admitted that there was a raffle on Friday
night, but not for money.—it was merely a charity for a poor black
man, Mho raffled a picture of the battle of Waterloo, to obtain a
temporary subsistence.
Several witnesses bore testimony to the truth of the landlord's
account; and the watchman said that his house was always most
quiet and orderly.
Mr. Larwo—But here is a letter, stating that your house is al-
ways noted for gambling. You see it is not an anonymous letter,
but has a name and address.
The officers, Read and Lloyd, said, that they searched in rain at
the house specified, and indeed in the whole street, but could find
no person of the name stated.
The landlord said that lie was unconscious of dice being prohi-
bited.

Mr. LAING again told him that it was not an anonymous letter,
but bore a real sn,mature, and he must answer the consequences of
suffering gamblirg in his house.
Mr. Sergeant SELLOti having glanced over the letter, said that
if the officers could not find the person at the written address, the
letter was goal for nothing, and wan the same as if it had been ano-
nymous, fur it was anonymous to all intents and purposes.
Mr. baisro now cautioned the landlord to beware of suffering
any more raffling, and ordered him to be discharged.
QUEEN-SQUARE.
The redoubtable Mary Ann Pcarcc, yclep'd Lady Darrymote,
had an audience of Mr. Markland, the sitting Magistrate, on Sa-
turday. tier Ladyship was attended by Hill, the street-keeper,
who ungallantly accused her of having been beastly drunk the night
before, and causing a great disturbance around the liquor-shop of
Mr. Mills, in Great Chapel-street, Westminster. Iler Ladyship's
apparel was In a very dilapidated condition, and she appeared to be
in a very bad state of health. She had only left her chakau in
Tothill-fields a day or two ago, where she invariably takes up her
quarters, but was permitted to take fresh sit upon a promise that
her stay would be for ever; however, her broken promises were as
numerous as the times that she has paid visits to the different po-
lice offices, and she was now brought forward to answer for them.
The worthy Magistrate, after hearing the charge preferred against
her, was again induced, by her making the 157th promise that she
would leave Westminster, to discharge her, hoping at the same
time she would keep it inviolate.
Her ladyship promised most solemnly that if she got her liberty
again she would Instantly retire out of IVestminster, and never be
sten in it more.
Upon this promise the magistrate took compassion upon the un-
fortunate woman, and ordered her to be set at liberty.

WORSH I P-STREET.
Mr. Moumfaiw, of the Saracen's Head Inn, Snow-hill, and Mr.
iisbleshite, stage-coach proprietors, were ►ummoned, on Satur-
day, btuor„: Mr. Twyford, the Magistrate, on the information of
Johnson, charging them with carrying more than twelve outside
passengers by the " Liverpool Express."
Johnson's wimess stated, that he observed the coach at the Pea-
cock, at Islington, and swore that there were more than twelve out.
side; but could not Identify Mr. litbblewhite as the wachnisn.
Mr. Kibblewbite did not deny being the driver of the coach or its
proprietor, but alleged that as the information was incorrect in its
material point—namely, the number ; and as Mr. Johnson could
trot swear to his person, the Information ought to he quashed.
Mr. Twirroßn—This is a rotten case, and I shall quash the in-
formation.

Mr. Kibblewhite complained of being thus brought out of his
business„on such slender grounds, and hoped the Magistrate would
allow him costs, as well as some compensation for his loss of time.
Mr. Ty/Yvon° thought the request a very reasonable one, and
on some consultation as to the amount to be allowed for loss of time,
ordered Mr. Johnson to pay ten shillings s-day, and costs, which
made twenty-six shillings.
Mr. Johnsen peremptorily refused to pay the money, and said
he knew no law which could compel him to do so.
Mr. Kibhlewhite wished of the Magistrate, after such a positive
declaration, to inform him how he was to proceed to enforce the
payment of the money.
Mr. TWYPORD (evidently displeased)—Why, I'll tell you, Mr.
Kibblewhite, you may issue a distress on his goods; and if he
has none, come again to me, and I will send Mr. Johnson to the
House of Correction for one month.
Mr. Johnson, not liking the prospect of a month's amusement at
the tread-mill, then reluctantly paid the money, observing, at the
time he did so, that he did it out of " due homage and respect to
the Magistrate ;" " but," said he, "it is not fifty or a hundred
pounds that shall induce me to relax in my future endeavours to
bring Air. Kibblewhite again before your V. orship."
Mr. Kibblewhite thought there was something malicious in Mr.
Johnson's manner and w.sertion, and requested to know of the Ma-
gistrate if he could not alibrd him some protection against the
consequences.
Mr. Twernitn—T ran afford you no protection ; but if you come
here you shall have justice.
The office was crowded by cosch proprietors and others interested
In the result of the application, and were evidently much delighted
with Mr. Twyford's decision.
Mr. Johnson, feeling displeased with the issue of the affair,
postponed several other informations, which he was about to bring
forward, indefinitely.
