MARYLEBONE.

Capt. illarryatt, of Grove-house, Battersea, appeared
before the Magistrates, on a warrant, to answer the
charge of having assaulted Mr 'Walker, living at 34,
Caroline-place, within a short distance of defendant's
residence.

A great deal of evidence, pro and con, was gone
into, and the case was decided by the Captain being
ordered to pay a fine of one shilling, which he imme-
diately did, and was liberated.

Soon after the termination of the case, complainant,
who was much exasperated at the small amount of
penalty inflicted, hastened to the house of defendant,
whom he assaulted with the most abusive and threaten-
ing language, and as he caused a great mob to assemble,
he was taken into custody by a Constable of the T
Division, and brought to the office.
Evidence of his violent conduct was then gone into,
and he was ordered to find bail for his future good
behaviour. He was conveyed to the lock-up-room, and
at the close of the business, was brought out by Frank-
lin, an cfficcr of this establishment, who, while in the
act of leading him dowu the passage, towards the
prison van, in which he was to be taken, in default of
complying with the terms of his sentence, to Clerken-
well, attacked, in a most savage way, the officer, who
after being kicked and beaten by him in a most un-
merciful way, succeeded at last in getting him into the
vehicle, when he again vented his rage upon Franklin,
whose hands he bit in several places, inflicting wounds
on one of them in particular, of a serious nature. He
was, bowever, at length completely mastered by the
officer, and conveyed to his destination.

HATTON-GARDEN.
Yesterday a baker was fined 3/. for baying concealed
under one of his scales in the shop, a penny piece
weighing nearly an ounce, and another was fined 10s.
for having light and unstamped weights.
Another summons was against a person named Myer:,
a marine store dealer, of Saffron Hill, for having light
wheights, &c. in his possession.

Bayliss, the officer, said, that he went to the shop of
Myers, to serve the summons, when he saw that the
name of Cohen had been newly painted over the door,
and a man in the shop told him Myers hsd left a week
ago, which could not be the fact, as the summons had
only been granted four days ago.
Mr. Childe said there was a deficiency of t2lb. in
a 151 b. weight.
The Magistrates concurred that the law should not
be defeatead by such infamously low cunning, and they
ordered Bayliss to trace Myers and execute the
summons.

QUEEN- S QUARE.
Thomas Grant, a respectably dressed young man, was
placed at the bar, charged with attempting to commit a
felony at the house of Dr. Stone, No. 3, Spring-
gardens.

The Doctor stated the fact of the attempted robbery,
and the subsequent capture, and the police constables
present proved that the prisoner was a convicted thief.
Mr. WHITE sentenced him to three months' imprison-
ment, with hard labour, in the House of Correction.
Ann Clarkson, a middle-aged woman, who obtained
her living by working as laundress, was fully committed
for trial upon a charge of stealing ten French cambric
handkerchiefs, value 31.

It appeared from the evidence adduced, that the pri-
soner was employed by Mrs. Dalton. of No. 33, Harper-
street, Chelsea, an extensive laundress, and it was her
duty to pack up the articles to be delivered at the diffe-
rent establishments for which prosecutrix worked. She
was supposed to perform her duty faithfully, and the
felony would not have been discovered but for the re-
ceipt of two letters—one from Lady Ross, and the
other from Madame Aveline—in which complaints were
made of the non-delivery of numerous pocket handker-
chiefs. Inquiries were made, the result of which was
that the prisoner confessed that she had pledged the
missing handkerchiefs, and burnt the tickets. The
property was produced by Mr. Brookes, a pawnbroker
in Chelsea.

WORSHIP-STREET.
SUNDAY TRADING.—Several tradesmen of the re-
spective parishes of Bethnal-green and Islington were
convicted and fined ss. each for exercising their worldly
calling on the Lord's-day.
The individual who prosecuted in the cases from
Bethnal-green gave his name William West, and de-
scribed himself to be a broker ; and in answer to the
preliminary questions put to him by Mr. CODD, he
stated that " he appeared for the parish."
Mr. Christie, the relieving overseer of Bethnal-green,
however, soon after arrived at the office, and told Mr.
CODD that he had been directed by the parochial au-
thorities to attend.and disclaim, on their parts, all con-
nexion with the party prosecuting or his coadjutois,
whose proceedings were entirely unsanctioned by the
parish, in which neither of them held any office what-
ever.
