BOW-STREET.

Yesterday a man named John IVise was placed at
the bar before Sir R. Biamm, charged with having
burglariously entered the premises of Mr. Dupree,
of the Savoy-wharf, near the Strand, and stealing
therefrom four fowls,—The prisoner was remanded.
A man named Wn. Randall, who, it appeared,
had lately been an inmate of the King's Bench
prison, and was subsequently discharged under the
Insolvent Debtors' Act, underwent a long examina-
tion on a charge of rape, the object of the brutal at-
tack being a child only eight years old, named Mary
Ann Robinson. The details of the examination are
of course unfit for publicity ; but they were attended
with circumstances of peculiar atrocity. An attempt
to compromise the matter with the father of the
child having been discovered, Mr. Thomas, the po-
lice superintendent, has undertaken to prosecute the
prisoner, who stands remanded for a week.

MARYLEJMNIE.
A tall thin man, in a suit of black, very thread-
bare, was brought yesterday before Mr. IlawuN-
sos, charged with a breach of the peace.
Mr. Itswr.iNsoN asked him his name. "I am
here," replied the defendant, " in the name of the
Lord Jesus Chriet Ili

Mr. Rsww.sos—l again ask your name.—De-
fendant—Why auk it ? I have given you the name
of my master, and that is Mifficient. No man upon
earth has a right to demand my name.
Mr. RAWLINSON—You are charged with en of-
fence against the laws. Defendant—l am unjustly
charged, and have nothing to do with it till my o#3.
cosecs have been heard.

Richard Holland, a police-constable, No. 104,
division S, stated, that the defendant had lately
preached sermons in the open air and on the high-
way in Somers-town, and as it occasioned a number
of persons to assemble, some of whom, instead of
litvening to the words of t ha. preacher, made a dis-
turbance, instructions were green him by his supe-
riors to put a stop to it. He saw the defendant at
seven o'clock on Sunday morning in Brill-row, be-
fore the Duke of Kent public-house, preparing to
begin, and he went up to him, and told him what
orders he had reteived' and that lie must not come
there to preach. The defendant said he had chosen
a text, and preach from it he would, in defiance of
him and his superiors. The police-constable went
his round, anti when he came back, the defendant
was going on with a sermon, and a mob of thirty
persons was assembled around him. The constable

told him to leave off, and go; 'the defendant said he
would not. The constable tried to lead him away.
The defendant hung tight to a lamp-post. The
mob hooted the constable, and he got some of his
comrades to assist, and took the defendant to the
watch-house.

The Inspector of that division of the police in-
formed Mr. ltawlinson, that complaints had been
made by many respectable inhabitants of this prac-
tice, and the object was to suppress it without
severity.

Mr.-RAWLINSON, to the defendant—This is illegal,
and you were warned not to do it. Defendant—lf
the witness in this case, has sworn what he does
not understand, I am entitled to the benefit of it.
(To the constable)—Do you know the difference
between preaching and praying ?—The constable
made no reply.
Defendant—lie don't answer me.

Mr. RAWLINSON—He is not obliged to answer
such a question. What has it to do with the breach
of the peace ? We say you have no right to con-
gregate people in the street.
Defendant—lts only the truth I want. He swears,
when he came back from his round he found me
preaching. Now, if he does not know the differ-
ence between preaching and praying, he swears
what he does not know.—(To the constable.)—
You say that I came there to preach from a text,—
did you hear me give out that text ? Constable—
How could I hear you, when I was away.
Defendant—Do you think I did give out the text
before I began to preach ? Constable-1 don't think
any thing.
Defendant—Did you ever hear a man preach?
The constable was silent.

Defendant—lf you won't answer that question, I
ask you, is the text in preaching given before or
after the sermon ?

Mr. RAWLINSON—We cannot suffer the time of
the public to be wasted in this way.
The defendant was putting another ridiculous
question to the constable, when Mr. RAWLINSON
told him, he and his brother Magistrate believed the
evidence, and they should detain him until he gave
bail to keep the peace, and his name and address.
He was required to withdraw, but he refused,
declaring justice had not been administered, and he
was carried to the lock-up room by four of the
officers.

The parson neither gave bail nor his name, and
when the van came to remove the prisoners to
Clerkenwell New Prison, Keys, the gaoler, was
obliged to carry him to it upon his back, for he
would not walk.

A serjeant, belonging to the Grenadier Guards,
brought his daughter, a child, eleven years old, to
the office, and asked Mr. RAWLINSON'S advice.

He said he lived in Berkeley-mews, and a lady,
whose back door opens into them, had taken some
notice of the child. The child came home Jut
week repeatedly with articles of value, silk dresses,
stockings, a bonnet, two bottles of wine, &c., and
said the lady (Mrs. Leigh) had given them to her.
Her story was believed, until the applicant found on
Saturday night that his wife's box had been robbed
of nine sovereigns and a half, and some silver, and
then a suspicion of the truth arose his mind ; and
when he accused the child with having taken it,
she confessed that she had, and that a girl in Mrs.
Leigh's service, two years older than herself, had
partaker) of it. This girl was also brought to the
oflice by her mother. It did not appear that she
had got more than a bonnet and a bottle of wine
out of the stolen money. She said the other gave
her six sovereigns and a half on Wednesday to talc*
care of for her, which she said she found, and she
had them again. _

Mr. RAWLINSON said it was unlikely that a lady
would give such presents to a child, and the serjeant
or his wile ought to have made inquiry of her.
The serjeant said they did intend to do se on Sa-
turday morning, but she was then gone out of town.
The serjeant has got articles of the above kind to
the value of 61. or 81., which the girl brought home,
and Mr. Rawlinson ordered one of the officers to go
round with the girl to the shopkeepers of whom
they were bought, and try to get the money back.
Alderson, the officer who went round with the
serjeant and his (laughter, returned in the evening,
and told Mr. Rawlinson he had succeeded in getting
the money back (nearly 51.), from every place but
ORO, and that was for the price of a doll.
" Come, then," said Mr. RAWLINSON, " I think
you have (lone the business well."

" It's a very expensive doll, your worship," replied
Alderson," it cost it. Ns."

Mr. RAWLINSON-11. 165.! (He examined the
doll, and asked where it was bought.)—Alderson
gave a card of the shop, J. Cacheloux and Co.,
No. 47i, Quadrant, Regent-street, and said the
child, he understood, went there in a coach to buy it.
Mr. RAWLINSON thought Mr. Cacheloux had
acted incautiously in selling such an expensive article
to a girl so young, and he granted the seijeant a
summons to require his attendance at the office.
