HATTON-GARDEN.

Yesterday Mr. Brunton of the • Queen's Head public-
house, in St. John's-street, attended before Messrs. LAING
and BENNET to answer to an information which had been
lodged against him by Mr. Robinson, an inspector of police
of the G division, charging him with suffering drunkenness
and other disorderly conduct in his house on the night of
the sth inst.

Mr. Wiux, the solicitor to the Licensed Victuallers' Pro-
tection Society, was present on behalf of Mr. Brunton,
who pleaded Not Guilty.
Maisey, superintendent of the G division, stated that, at
a quarter to two o'clock, on the night of the sth of the pre-
sent month, he and two other officers entered the defend.
ant's premises, where they found from 90 to 100 persons,
most of whom were drunk.
Penny, an inspector under the last witness, gave sim:lar
evidence.

Mr. Brunton, upon being called upon for his defence,
said that he had been the occupier of the present house more
than nine years, and that was the first time that a charge of
any description was made against him, and he felt extremely
vexed that a night during lifartholemew Fair should be axed
upon to trump up an accusation against hint. It was true
that on the night named he kept open a little later than
usual ; but he solemnly protested that there were no disor-
derly characters on his premises. When the officers made
their appearance he was preparing to close his house, and ho
considered that it would have been better, and much more
their duty, to have helped him to get rid of his customers.
Mr. Brunton then called Mr. Balls, of No. 3, Birchin-lane,
city, who said that he was in the house when Maisey and
his men entered, and he would positively swear that there
was not one person there who was drunk.
Mr. Sellers, landlord of the Sun and Falcon, Down-street,
Piccadilly, stated that he was assisting Mr. Brunton in his
business during the fair, and he remembered the policemen
coming there, at which time the great noise prevailed, but
there was not a drunkard present.
Four (Aber witnesses gave similar testimony, after which
Mr. LAING intimated that he was ready to convict the
defendant, being of opinion that the case had been fully
made out, and that the police alone had spoken the truth.
Mr. BENNETT—If what they have said against the de-
fendant be correct a, °conviction ought to follow, but when a
host of witnesses prove to the contrary, I should conceive
that we cannot do otherwise than dismiss the information if
we pay attention to the solemn oath of a party.
Mr. LAING-4 don't believe the defendant's witnesses,
who are, to a certain extent, interested.
Mr. BENNETT—I am bound to kiieve them, and there-
fore cannot think of convicting.
Mr. LAING (angrily)—Wolf, as we differ in opinion there
can be no judgment,
The information consequently fell to the ground.
Mr. Wright, of the Coach and Horses, St. John's-square,
and ether publicans, were summoned fur a similar offence,
and a like " difference" of opinion existing between the Ma-
gistrates the informations shared the same fate.
NEW MILK FROM TU Cow.—Yesterday William Ni-
cholls, a lad aged eighteen, with a milk-white countenance,
was brought before Mr. LAING, in the custody of a police-
constable of the N division, charged by Mr. Dixon, cow-
keeper, of Highbury Vale, Islington, under the following
ludicrous circumstances :

The prosecutor, havittg been sworn, stated that yester-
day afternqun L Lb received information that a, tail was in his
Aoki, milking one of his cows ; and, determining on catch-
ing him, he directed his (1,11 to eater at one end of the fold
whilst he entered at the other, and on doing so ttiey beheld
plisoner laying flat on his back, undev, a cow's belly,
with his mouth wide open, and he was squeezing the milk
from the'teats of the anitnal into, his mouth, and apparently
enjoying the VapaAt. The appearance of witness and his
sorb did not seem at all to discammede the prisoner, wno
continued to pull away with all the eagerness imaginable ;
arid the quiet and harmless way in which the cow stood to
endure the operation, led witness to suspect that the pri-

tecl
soncr was an adept in the art of milking, and had vlst..s
his field more than once, as he frequently found that 1.1.
cows did not yield the usual quantity of milk. The pri.sionll
ner's face and upper part of his dress were covered
froth and milk, of which he had tvidentiv taken a belly full
Mr. LAING asked how long the fellow was ,supposed to
have been in the field? Mr. Dixon —At least three qua"
tors of an hour,
Mr. LAING—And how tnu:4l milk do you prcstlill'llll
could tease taken fi om the cow in that space of time „
Dixon—Two quarts at least.—( A laugh.)
Mr. Dixon, jun., corroborated this evidence.
Mr. LAING said it was rather an - extraordinary WAY
of
satisfying his appetite, and inq6ired who and what he Wag!
Prisoner-4 work for Mr. Coombes, ironmonger. of 1313e1'.
friars-road.
Mr. LAING—Pray what have you to say for- going into
the prosecutor's field, and milking his cows? Prisoner'
I am very fond of milk, and being very thirsty, and veil
the cow in the field, I could not resist the temptation, 4n`
I certainly did take a draught, which I thought no harm.
--(Laughter.)
Mr. LAING (to the prosecutor)—lt is a pity that yell
did not give him a good thrashing, acd send him about
business.
Mr. Dixon—That I should have done, but I aid not
wish to take the law in my own hands.
Mr. LAING said the prisoner ought to pay for the milk lie
had consumed, and asked how much the milk was a quart
Mr. Dixon—Fourpence, your worship.
The constable said that on searchitul the prisoner be
found just Bd., the price of two quarts. •
Mr. Dixon, with the• milk of Liman kindness, said he
did not wish to punish- the prisoner severely, but he desired
to be protected from such intruders in future.
Mr. LAING ardered the, Bd. to be handed to Mr. Dixon,
and severely reprintand.ed the prisoner, whorl; he •dischargo?
and he quitted the office rather "cowed."

Mr. Castle, an artist, was brought up on a police %/arra°
charging him with a violent assault on his wife, a delicate an'
genteel-looking woman.
Mis. Castle stated that a few nights ago, as she wag
waiting up for her husband, she heard voices down the CO,ntor
next to their house, and on going there she said she saw, Inc

She, however, had scarcely uttered the words when
husband turned round upon her, and calling her by an -15

proper name, immediately struck her a violent blow, -
continued to beat her until they got back into the 1100%8
The defendant said, on the night in question, whenesr
got near his door, he saw a female lying in the Dula d,
his house. For humanity's sake he lifted her aP, her

home, he managed to assist her into the court next

when his wife rushed out upon him like a fury, and begin
to abuse him, and he did certainly use some violence
making her go back into the house.

A scene of recrimination here ensued, which was st"Pe
