POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—Oct. 12.

MANSION-HOUSE.—Charles Hart, a person of re-
spectable appearance, residing at 7, Old Fish.street-hill,
appeared before the Lord Mayor for having, as the sum-
11.1011s stated; "unlawfully and contemptuously disturbed
the Rev. Mr. Sergrove, rector of the united parishes of
St. Mary Somerset and St. Mary Mounthaw, whilst
preaching in the church." The defendant was also
summoned for having unlawfully assaulted and beaten
Henry Mansfield, the beadle, in breach of the peace.
The defendant pleaded guilty, and added, I was not
aware of what I was doing at the time.
The Lord Mayor—You aro also summoned for an
assault upon the beadle immediately after the offence to
which you have pleaded guilty was perpetrated. What
do you say to that charge ?
Defendant—Ts plead not guilty to that charge.
The Lord Mayor said the defendant stood in a very
serious position according to the statute. His lordship
then referred to the Ist Mary, session 2, chapter 3, which
stated in substance to the following effect :—" If any
person of his own power and authority do or shall will-
ingly, and of purpose, by open and overt word, fact,
act, or deed, maliciously or contemptuously molest, let,
clistuCb, vex, or trouble, or by any other unlawful ways
or means disquiet or misuse any preacher that now is,
or that at any time hereafter shall be, licensed or autho-
rised to preach by the Queen's Highness, or by any
archbishop, &c., in his open sermon, preaching, or col-
lation, during the time that he shall preach in any
church, &c., used or appointed to be preached in." The
next section, his lordship said, referred to the disturb-
ance of the minister while ministering or celebrating the
mass, or other such divine service, sacraments, or sacra-
mentals, and he stated that the act gave power to jus-
tices of the peace, and judges of assize, and of over and
terminer, and also to the Mayor of the City, to deter-
mine the question, and the punishment was imprisonment
for three months, at the termination of which the con-
victed person would be liable to find security for his
good behaviour for the space of 12 months.
The defendant—l was in liquor at the time, my lord,
and did not know what I was doing.
The Lord Mayor—l feel that the case is one of too im-
portant a nature for me to decide upon. I have been in-
formed that doubts are entertained with respect to the
present validity of the act I have quoted, and that by
the statute law commission it is referred to as having
been virtually repealed by the statute of the Ist of Eliza-
beth ; but, on referring to the act of Elizabeth, I find
that the important question might arise whether by that
act the act of Mary has been virtually repealed or not, as
it is clear that it has not been positively repealed.
Mr. Fawcett, churchwarden of the united parishes,
said—The church is in Upper Thames-street, and be-
longs to the united parishes. On Sunday last I was iu
this church acting as parish clerk during the afternoon
service. The rector, the Rev. Mr. John Sympson Ser-
grove, LL.B., was preaching, and about 10 minutes after
he commenced the defendant entered the church, and pull-
ing the door after him, eat down for a short time. He then
got up in an abrupt manner, put on his hat, and with
a loud voice asked the rector whether he could not read
without a book.

The Lord Mayor—What were the exact words he
urea We have been assured that he used very oppro-
brious and disgraceful words, and whatever they may
have been you are bound by your oath to tell the truth,
the whole truth, and nothing but the truth—to state
tho words exactly.

Mr. Fawcett-II did not hear what he subsequently
said in the vestry, where he might have used words of
that description. What I heard him say in the church
was "Can't you read without a book ?" The congrega-
tion were all startled at the circumstance. The service
was not, however, suspended. The beadle immediately
came forward from the vestibule to put the defendant
out when ho heard the noise. The rector did not step,
but preached on in a louder voice. There was a great
commotion. The congregation was but small—not ex-
ceeding perhaps, children and all included, 30 persons.
The defendant certainly appeared to be drunk.
The prisoner—My lord, I was out of my senses at the
time, and when I afterwards learned what I had done I
wrote to the churchwardens to apologise.
The Lord Mayor—lt appears to me to be a most out-
rageous case, and would, if not met by the law, be cal-
culated to lead to great evil. The rector must attend
on Wednesday to give evidence, and I am determined to
-send the matter before a higher tribunal, which will
have to decide upon the present validity of the statute
which has been placed before me. If that statute has
been virtually repealed, or if it be considered inoperative
on account of the severity of the punishment, it will be
for a more competent authority to devise some new
enactment, by means of which ministers of religion may
be protected. The defendant must find two securities of
201. each, and be bound over himself in the sum of 401.,
ti appear here on Wednesday.
Jonathan B. Cox, servant to Mr. Cornish, a baker,
was brought up fir final examination on the charge of
having embezzled several sums of money, the property
of his master.

It was proved that the prisoner, in many instances,
received money for which he bad not accounted. The
system of robbery was discovered by the circumstance
of the servant of a family having called to pay what wa;
due for the week, when much more than the amount
was deficient in the receipts of the house.
The prisoner hai been detected before by his master,
and threatened with prosecution if he repeated the
0
He was committed for trial.

BOW-STREET.—A young man, named Aldridge,
was charged with assaulting his wife.
His wife said she had long been subject to the brutal
ill-usage of her husband, who, from his drunken habits,
rarely had more than half a week's employment. O❑
the occasion in question he knocked her down and kicked
her in the eye, blackening it as it at present appeared.
She applied for a summons against him, which was du'y
served upon him by the officer of the court, but he re-
fused to attend to answer the charge. Hence a warrant
was issued for his apprehension. On the day of their
last quarrel, hc. offered her half a crown for the support
of the family, which she declined to receive. The chil-
dren were almost starved in consequence.
Mr. Henry—You ought to have taken the money,
then.

The husband—She helped herself, your worship, after-
wards to as much as she wanted.
The wife—Yes, I took 255. out of his pocket what be
was lying on the bed drunk on Sunday morning. Of
course I did ; for we had nothing to eat and drink.
Mr. Henry—Well, then, you can't be so badly off just
now. Do you wish him to make you an allowance ?
. The wife said that was what she wanted, for she could
not live with him any longer.
It having been agrced that he should pay his wife 10a.
per week for the future out of his wages,
Mr. Henry suspended his judgment for six months, to
see if the arrangement was properly carried out.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. James Parnell,
Sa—mpson's-garderis, Great
Hermitage-street, Wapping,
mariner, residing at No. 4,
was brought before Mr.
Hardwick, charged with tiring a pistol at Harry
i Wil-
liams, an artist, living at No. 2, Percy-street, with intent
to do him grievous bodily harm.
Prosecutor, on being sworn, said—This morning about
half-past two o'clock I was walking along Oxford-street,
when between the fire-escape station and the corner of
Rathbone-place I heard some one behind me say, Your
purse, or your life." I turned round my head and saw
the prisoner about a yard from me, and he had scarcely
said "Your purse," when he fired a pistol at me, and
ran away. As soon as I recovered from my astonish-
ment I ran after him, shouting "Police," and he wag
eventually stopped by a policeman. I could not tell the
name of the street, as I am a stranger in London.
Thomas Moore said—l am a fire-escape conductor, and
reside at 8, Arundel-street, Strand. About half-past two
this morning I was sitting in my box in Oxford-street,
when I saw the prisoner go behind the prosecutor, and I
heard him say something to him which I could not under.
stand. Immediately afterwards I satv him extend his
right arm towards the prosecutor, whereupon there was
a flash and a report, as if from a pistol. The prisoner
then ran away, and I jumped out of my box and ran
after him as far as Newman-street. Finding that I
could not overtake him I ran up Oxford-street in pursuit
of a constable, and after I had got to the corner of Ber-
ners-street I found the prisoner in the custody of an
officer. I and 53 C subsequently went up Berner's-
street, and found the pistol produced, which appeared
to have been recently discharged.
Police-constable 61,C said—Between. two and three
this morning, I was on duty in ' Oxford-street. when I
heard the cry of "Stop
thief •t" and " Police t" • . proceed
from the direction of Berner's-street. I ran across the
way, and saw prisoner running towards me. I stopped
him, and he said it was not he. I asked him what be
was running for ? He said it was because he heard the
cry of " Stop thief !" I detained him till the prosecutor
write up and gave him into custody.
In defence the prisoner said he met some girls the pre-
vious night, and they robbed him of his purse, which
made him in a passion ; that whenever he got irritated
he was always up to some sort of mischief, and that
while in that state he happened to meet the prosecutor,
and out of sheer mischief said " Your purse," and then
snapped the pistol in his face. The pistol was not
loaded, and-had only a cap on the nipple.
Mr. Hardwick said prisoner's conduct was most extra-
ordinary, arid reinanded.himforaweek, in order that the
police might find out who and what the prisoner was.

CLE [MEN WELL.— William, Bussell an ap ,ren •
ties, s, w
eteaai a
l placed at the barn ar before Mr. Cut'rie charged
g ge q ity
of carpenter's tools, the
linar
property of his master, Mr. Morrell.
It appeared frotn the evidence that the prosecutor had
for some months past been losing a large quantity of
tools, and had never-been -able to-discoyer the thief. lie
had discharged several men upon sti:ipicion, and should
never have entertained an idea that the prisoner was the

thief, if be had not the previous day, when passing a
tool-shop, seen some of his articles. The shopkeeper, on
being asked by him where he bad got them from, said
he had bought them of a young girl. The girl was a
lodger in the house, and the prisoner had given her the
too!s to sell, saying that his master had given them to
Mm„

The prisoner, who had nothing to say in his defence,
was remanded for a few days.

WORSHIP-STREET. A man named Thomas
Watson was charged under aggravated circumstances
with being the manager of a common lodging-house,
which had not been approved and registered according to
the requirements of the statute.
Mr. Joseph Price, the visiting inspector under the
Common Lodging-house Act, stated that for some
time past the defendant had acted as manager of a low
lodging-house of notorious character, in King's Head-
court, Shoreditch, which had been previously kept
by a woman named Elizabeth Evans, who at the
same time conducted two other establishments of a
similar description, situated respectively in Kent-street
and Mint-street, Southwark. The woman Evans had
been repeatedly summoned and amerced in heavy penal-
ties for a series of flagrant violations of the Common
Lodging-house Act, and on the occasion of her last con-
viction she was adjudged to be absolutely disqualified
from keeping or acting in the management of a common-
lodging-house for the term of three years. It had been
subsequently ascertained, however, that the defendant
( Watson), who had been formerly connected with Evans,
had ever since kept open the house in King's Head-
court for the reception of the lowest class of lodgers in
obstinate defiance of the law, and on the place Leing
visited, about a week since, by Sergeant Turner, the
upper rooms were found to be occupied by a promiscuous
assemblage of thieves and prostitutes, while the kitchen
and cellar were densely crowded with inmates of the same
class and character. _ _

In answer to the charge, the defendant, in a confident
tone, denied his liability to such proceedings, upon the
ground that he had acted throughout as a mere agent in
the matter, and had nothing whatever to do with the
ownership of the premises.
Mr, I3ammill said that the defence he had attempted
to set up was fortunately provided for under the 14th
section of the statute, which enacted that any person
having the care or management of a common lodging-
house was amenable to its provisions ; and he should,
therefore, convict the defendant in the full penalty of 51.
and costs, or three months' imprisonment.
The defendant, who declared that he would rot in
prison before he paid a farthing, was then removed by
the gaoler.
After the case had been disposed of a simple-looking
young countryman, named James Cunningham, entered
the witness-box, and stated that he wished to complain
of a heartless robbery which had been practised upon
him at the house in question, with the knowledge and
connivance, as he had every reason to believe, of the de-
fendant Watson.

It appeared from the statement of the poor fellow, that
he was a native of Manchester, and had recently
been employed in the Government powder mills, at
Waltham, in Essex, from which place he was induced on
Saturday last to make his way to London on foot, with the
intention of entering the Army Works Corps. In an-
swer t 3 his inquiries for a temporary lodging on his arri-
val in town, he was directed, in an evirhour, to the
house in King's Head-court, where he saw the man
Watson, who readily agreed to provide him with a room,
and offered to take charge of his carpet bag, containing
his extra clothing and other articles, together with his
working tools, which he valued at 30s. He accordingly
placed the bag and its contents under the care of Wat-
son, who introduced him into a large room, where he
found several men and women, who plied him with
drink, which was sent for and shared by the land-
lord, until be was completely stupilied, and on waking
up next morning, he found his pockets turned inside
out, and that the whole of his hard-earned savings,
amounting to 4/. in gold and silver, had disappeared.
Ho immediately communicated his loss to the land-
lord, but without obtaining any redress, and on de-
uainding the restoration of the carpet bag and property
which he had left with him, he was coolly told by Wat-
son that they had no doubt been stolen by the same per-
sons who had robbed him of his money, as they were
not to be found in the room where he had placed them
for safe custody. He was unable to obtain any further
explanation in answer to his remonstrances, and was
now entirely destitute, having been not only deprived of
his money, tools, and clothing, but also been robbed of
the written testimonials he had received from •;,lais late
employers, and which he would be expected to produce
lefore he was allowed to enter the Army Works Corps,
although he had been provisionally accepted, and had
passed the canal medical inspection.
Mr. Haintaill said that it was certainly a very hard
case, but, notwithstanding the apparent moral culpa-
bility of the man Watson, he considered there was not
sufficient evidence to support an indictment against him
as an accessory to the robbery. The situation of the un-
fortunate applicant was greatly to be commiserated, and
he would direct Hayward, the warrant officer to explain
the circumstances under which he bad lost his vouchers
of character to Sir Joseph Paxton, and present him in
the meantime with a trifling sum from the poor box for
his immediate exigencies.
The applicant expressed his grateful acknowledgments
to the magistrate, and left the court with the warrant
officer.

_
John Pit; a porter in Spitalfields Market, . was
' charged before Mr. Hammill with a double assault upon
a mother and daughter, named Coverly, residing in Ni-
cholas-street, Bethnal-greenroad.
Airy Ann Coverley, one of the complainants, stated
that about 12 o'clock the previous evening, while in the
act of bidding " Good night" to her sweetheart at the
door of her mother's dweliing, the defendant, who was a
perfect stranger to her, suddenly crossed the roadway,
and, without the slightest act or observation from either
of the three, wilfully thrust the lighted candle in her
face. It was extinguished, and he then seized her
by the hair with one hand, striking repeated blows
with his other fist upon her head and body,
until her screams brought her mother to the spot.
Witness produced a quantity of hair, which had been
torn from her head, and complained of considerable
pain, not having been able to sleep any part of the
night. When the mother interfered for her child's pro-
tection, be struck her a violent blow on the face, caus-
ing the blood to flow from her nose in such profusion
that her dress was saturated with it. Fortunately a
police-constable came up at the juucture, and averted
further injury.
The fellow said in defence that he was drunk.

Mr. Hammill sentenced him to t,:vo month's imprison-
ment for the first offence, and one month for the second,
with hard labour.

WESTMINSTER.—BETTING-noUSES.— Charles Cole,
described as the proprietor of a beer house, in Eaton-
street, Pimlico, was charged with keeping a betting-
houce.

Mr. Smith, Denbigh street, solicitor, appeared for the
prosecution, and stated that a short time eiece a sum-
mons was issued against Thomas Cole, the reputed pro-
prietor of the beer-house in question, charging him with
' being the owner of the premises and permitting betting.
The defence then set up wa', that he was not the owner
or occupier, and he was then charged with being a per-
son using the house for the purpose of betting. The
words of the first section of the act defined its purpose,
and declared that "No house, office, room, or other
place should be opened, kept, or used for the purpose of
the owner, occupier, or keeper thereof, or person using
the same, for betting ;" while the 3d section, which con-
tained the enactment respecting the offence, punishable
by summary conviction, said, "Any person who being
the owner or occupier of any house, office, room, or other
place, or a person using the same, shall open, keep, or
use for the purposes hrein-before mentioned, shall be
subject," &c., and under these clauses he was convicted
at this court in the penalty of 201. He then appealed
to the court of quarter sessions, where the matter was
decided a day or two since. Although on the merits of
the case there was no doubt, Mr. Sergeant Athens, the
assistant judge, took rather a novel view of the law, and
the conviction was quashed upon the ground that it did
not aver that the house was kept open for the purpose
of betting, it not being sufficient that the appellant
" used the same" for the purpose of betting. Is was
not necessary for him (Mr. Smith) to go further into
the matter, but he thought that had the learned judge
looked more closely into the third section, he might
have come to a different conclusion. As it was roved
by a person named Rousselle that Thomas Cole was
not the proprietor of the place, but that Charles
Cole, the present defendant, was, proceedings were
now taken against him as the owner
or occupierof the
premises; and he would call Rousselle, although it might
be apprehended he would have difficulty with iuch a
witness, to prove the occupation.
Mr. paynter inquired how the previous summons,
upon which the conviction had been quashed, was
chief clerk,
.rep.lied, "for using the
worded ?
the
and conviction setting house," the summonsghfcrth that
Mr. Taylor,
the house, did use
he, being a person using erne for
with persons resortingt
the purpose of betting,
d't was held to -ere.
Mr. Smith observed—.Anbe defective
because it was not averred that the house was kept open
for batting, and Mr. Serjeant Adams had remarked that
were he to hold the conviction good, if he math a bet
•
with a friend at his club, he should
be liable.
Mr. Paynter said he was struck with that remark.
The worthy magistrate, after perusing the statute, was
theg
of opinion that the words relating to a
Person 11613
house, appeared to have been introduced r. for the u
in the
posii of meeting the case of the occupier
keeping i
background, and letting his house be used for the
pur-
poses of betting.
Mr. Smith said that was the construction that bad
been hitherto put upon it.
A person named Lush then proved that be Went to
defendant's house on two separate days, and made bets
upon horse-racing events with Thomas Cole. Therawas
a book kept in the bar for the • bets.
fie
purpose of entering
lie had made bets previously at the house, and hid seen
horse-racing lists there.
In reply to questions
from the magistrate, complain-
ant said he knew nothing of the defendant Chants Cole.
Hai never made a bet with him, nor seen hire in the
beer-house,

Charles llonselle, the barman at defendant's,.
remem-
bered complainant being at the houw3on the day in
gliest:on, but denied that Thomas Cole made any bet
with him, or was even present on the occasion. -
Witness was rigidly examined both by Mr. Smith and
the magi,trate, but stoutly denied that there was any
betting-hook kept in the bar, or that deposits were re-
ceived, upon horse-racing events, flatly contrachting the
complainant Lush in the whole of his accoui,t of the
transaction, in which he alleged that iouselle was: pre-
sent and took a :prominent ' .papt. Witness; however,-
did reMismber that Lush askod him "the price of horses,"
and wanted him to bet ; but he told him that he did not

know anything about such things. He heard customers
talking about betting and horee racing, but he of course
had nothing to do with that. The defendant, who a!so
was the proprietor of an eating-house next door to the
beer-shop, was in the former when Lush alleged that he
made the bets in the latter.

Paynter said that although it had been clearly
proved that the defendant was the proprietor of the house
there was nothing to sustain the allegation contained in
the summons, that he was occupying it and using it for
the purpose of betting with persons resorting thereto ;
and it would be necessary to show that be knew what
wasgoing on in order to render him amenable to the law.

The Second October Meeting, just concluded, will be
remembered only for its Cesarewitch and the incidents
connected with it.
Although the programme "at starting" presented a
fair promise of sport, that promise was not realised, and
the supply of racing each day dwindled into comparative
insignificance.
As the details of the proceedings which have from day
to day been published will testify, the fielders had a bard
time of it, the favourites being successful in almost every
instance.
The announced meetings of the Jockey Club were
held, but only some routine business was transacted ;
the important question respecting p.p. betting, and the
suggested alterations an the course, stand over for dis-
cussion in the Houghton Meeting.
The racing commenced this day at half-past eleven,
and terminated at two. At three most of the company
departed by special train for London.
