EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE AGAINST A. FOREIGNER—
DISGRACEFUL CONDUCT TO FEMALES.—George Thall-
mann, a Swiss waiter at a private hotel, No. 4, Albemarle-
street, was charged as follows

Elizabeth Aulsebrook, a servant at the Royal Thames
Yacht Club-house, but residing at the residence of the ser-
vants of the club, No. 11, Stafford-street, said :—On going
to bed along with the other female servants on Friday night
last I saw the prisoner on the roof of the house exactly op-
posite our bedroom window. At first, it being a moonlight
night, we thought it was merely a shadow which had passed
but on looking out of window saw that it was the prisoners
in a state of nudity, walking up and down and trying to
attract our attention. Oz Saturday night, on going to bed,
we saw the prisoner there again with a lighted candle in
his hand. The prisoner was undressed. He exposed him-
self to us in a most indecent manner and then put out the
light, but lit it again, at the same time doing all he could
to attract our attention.

Mr. Tyrwhitt—How many persons saw the prisoner's
conduct ?

The witness—Five female servants and some other per-
sons in the house.

Mr. Tyrwhitt-- Could he see you?
Witness—He could. not help doing so, It was quite
moonlight at the time. •

Wm. Goodeock, head waiter at the Royal Thames Yacht
Club, deposed—The house 11, Stafford-street, is the resi-
dence of the servants of the Club, and the house looks side-
ways to the back of Albemarle-street and Bond-street. On
Friday night the female servants complained that a naked
man had 13-en crawling along the opposite parapet. I told
them they must have had the nightmare, or that it was one
of Professor Pepper's " ghosts "—(laughter) ;—but on the
following night, on their again complaining, I went up and
saw the prisoner, quite naked, standing on the edge of the
parapet opposite the female servants' bedroom window,
having at the time a lighted candle in his land,
Mr. Tyrwhitt—Could he see the females
Witness—He could not then, as they had put their light
out.

Mr. Tyrwhitt—Which way was he looking?
Witness—Towards the females' window. He then ran
backwards and forwards along the parapet, and it is a won-
der that he did not fall and dash his brains out. His con-
duct was almost like that of a madman.

Mr. Tyrwhitt —Could he be seen from the street ?
Witness—No, sir; he could not.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—l am afraid it is a yard at the back of
:he house and not a public way.
_ _ _

Witness—lt is a yard—a kitchen with a roof consider-
ably lower than the others being built over it. The parapet
where the prisoner stood is about on a level with the ser-
vants' bedroom window.

Some confirmatory evidence having Leen given by the
female servant of the club, _

Mr. Albert, the interpreter, read over the evidence to
the prisoner.
Emil Fritsch, 115 C, said—On going into the servants'
bedroom, I saw the prisoner sitting on the opposite roof.
On my going to the roof where prisoner was he hid him-
self behind a stack of chimneys. The prisoner was naked,
and had painted his face so as to make it appear that he
had large black whiskers and a moustache. I found the
prisoner's clothes and the candle on a wall. I then took
prisoner into custody, but he said nothing in answer to
the charge. _ _

Mr. Tyrwhitt—Was he quite naked?
Frisch—All but a very short shirt.
Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner—who reserved his
defence—for trial.
