A DESTRUCTIVE GREEK.—Joseph Pietro, a Greek
seaman, was brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with
breaking a large pane of plate glass in the window of the
Rose and Crown public•house, in Ratcliffe-highway, last
night.

It appeared from the evidence of Peter Schut, a young
man, the barman and waiter at the Rose and Crown, that
the prisoner was passing, in and cut of the house, for two
hours, last night, He was intoxicated and very noisy, and
was repeatedly requested to desist and go home to his
boarding house. He took a stone from the inside of his
dress and threatened the barman, and struck a woman.
At last he was ejected from the house, and immediately
broke a large pane of plate glees valued at £2. The land.
lord of the house said he was not insured.

Mr. Woolrych ordered the prisoner to pay a fine of £3
and £2, the value of the glass, and, in default, six weeks'

imprisonment. A few minutes afterwards the magistrate
said he had reconsidered the matter. He would suspend
his judgment until this evening. He directed Turner, 32
H, who had charge of the case, to lo6k after the woman
who had been struck by the prisoner. He also directed
Roche, the gaoler, to keep the prisoner in custody until the
evening.

The magistrate translated the whole of the evidence to the
prisoner in the Italian language with the greatest fluency,
and the prisoner replied to him in the same language. Mr.
Woolrych also delivered his judgment first in English and
then in Italian. We believe this is the last day Mr. Wool-
rych will preside in this court, to which he was appointed
in March, 1851. A great proportion of the sailors and
witnesses who resort to this court are foreigners, and the
absence of Mr. Woolrych, who is conversant with 10
different languages, will be much felt. He is the most use-
ful and able magistrate that ever presided in the Thames
Police Court.

Mr. John Paget, of the Norfolk Circuit and Liverpool
Sessions, who was called to the bar in 1838, and who has
been appointed to succeed Mr. Woolrych, was on the bench
this day. It is understood that he will officiate as a "ma-
gistrate of the police courts of the metropolis" at this court
on Monday next. The appointment has given much satis-
faction. Mr. Paget has had erensive practice in criminal
matters. The Liverpool business is similar to that which
is the staple of this court.
Another vacancy has occurred in the magisterial bench
by the election of Mr. Corrie, magistrate of the Bow-street
Police Court, to the office of City Reniembrancer yesterday.
