A well-dressed man, who stated that ha carried on busi-
ness as a watch case maker, was brought before Messrs.
CHAMBERS and CONANT, charged with having assaulted
the wife of a respectable tradesman in one of the Green-
wich omnibuses. The defendant made an ample apology
to all parties, and expressed contrition for what had oc-
curred, attributing the affair to an extra glass of ale which
he had unluckily indulged in. The Bench fined the de-
fendant 41., which was immediately paid.

MARY LEBONE.

John Duddy, a discharged gentlem m's servant, was
charged with being implicated with his brother Thomas in
various robberiLs of plate and cash. The prisoner was re-
m.►nded.

A fitshionably attired n•rnale, sail to be the sister of a
lady of title, attended to prefer a charge against a portly
gentleman for as3aulting her. The partics reside inYicker-
inn•-terrace, Bayswater.
°The complainant was a single lady, and she paid the
rent of her house, which, however, was taken in defend
ant's name. On Tuesdiiy evening last she took tea at the
residence of a friend, and on returning home met with a
neighbour, who politely asked her to take his arm, which she
did, and was proceeding comfortably along the road, when
defeadant, who happened to be also indulging in 11'4 evening
.walk, suddenly ran up, and, sans cerentonie, knocked her
(complainant) down.
The gentleman alluded to (an eminent builder) said that
the defendant, on seeing him escorting the lady, exclaimed,
" So I've-caught you together at last, have I ?" and at the
same moment struck the lady a violent blow.
Mr. Gam:mu—Did he strike you too ? Witness—
He did not,, but he made an attempt to do it ; and would
have hit me very hard, if I had not been particularly nimble.

Mr. THISELTON (a Country Magistrate)—Cif course
this affair is all owing to jealousy? Witness--There is
no doubt of it, Sir ; but why he should make himself at all
uncomfortable about me, I'm sure I don't know.

Mr. GREGORIE (to defendant)—What's your an-wer to
this ? Defendant—The lady is a married woman. The
facts of this case are these :—I lost my wife four years ago,
and this female has been under my protection ever since ;
but lately she has conducted herself in a most strange
manner. I have found her twice v‘ithin a short period at
the house of the gentleman whom sho was with, although
he is a married man.

The gentleman denied the truth of this ; and the lad)
said it was a wicked falsehood.
The defendant said it was the fifth man she had taken
up with, and that she ought to be ashamed of herself:
Complainant--And you are a married man, so don't you
say anything.

The defendant was held to bail for the assault.

HATTON GARDEN.

A hackney-coach case, in which a gentleman named
Marlin, of Bloomsbury-square, was summoned by Richard
Howe, for refusing to pay him his fare, excited much inte-
rest. The complainant stated that his fare was six shillings,
and the defendant had only offered him two shillings.
In defence it was urged that a distinct understanding
was come to that the coach was to be hired by the hour,
and although the coachman had taken up Mr. Martin on
those terms, he had charged for distance.

After some discussion, the Magistrate ruforred to the
Act, which stated that the driver was at liberty to take
the rates and fares either for time or distance, according
to his option, but if the coachman had agreed to take u
certain sum for any particular distance he was bound to
abide by such agreement. As Mr. Martin had said no-
thing about the sum of money to be given, Mr. Bennett
observed that the Act decided in favour of the coachman,
and, although it was a hard case, the 6s. and costs. must
be paid.

SERGEANT V. CLARK.

This•was an action to recover the value of some pictures
which the plaintiff had deposited with the defendant for
tale. The pictures were stolen. The plaintiff was an
artist, who had successively joined the armies of the Qintens
of Portugal and Spain, and while in their service had taken
sketches of various places in both countries ; some of these
he had deposited with the defendants, and they formed the
subject of the present action. The drawings were valued
at 40/., but the plaintiff had offered before the action to
take 20/., and settle the matter. A specimen of the plain-
tiff's drawings, a view of Xarifa, was produced in Court.
The defence was, that the defendant had taken as much
care of these goods as of his own, of which he had been
robbed. The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—
Damages, :38/.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.-Thx. 9.
TREGEAR R. Sltt J. DUKE AND ANOTHER.

This was an action brought against the sheriffs of
Middlesex for improperly arresting the plaintiff, the warrant
being against his brother, Henry Tregear.
The evidence for the plaintiff proved that the sheriff's
officer came to the house of the father of the plaint ff in
July last, and arrested the plaintiff, William Tr:2gear, and
h:s Li cr, at the suit of a person to whom Henry Tregear
and his father had become indebted in May ; that they
had been taken to a lock-up house, where they remained for
some little time ; but that, upon the mistake being found
out, the plaintiff was released.—The Jury found for the de-
fendant.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

GUILDHALL.

Robert Allen and Thomas Molly were on Saturday re-
examined, charged with stealing a diamond ring, value 601.
from the shop of Mr. Walton, a jeweller, in Ludgate-street,
on Wedirsdi:y afternoon.
The prisoners wiihed to see some expemive rings, and
while they were examining some a third person entered the
shop, asked the price of some toothpicks, and quitted im-
mediately, the p. isoners having passed the stolen ring to
him. The prisoners were also about to leave without pur-
chasing, when the shopman discovered that a diamond ring
of inferior value had been substituted for the most valuable
irr in the tray.
Mr. Gibson, a jeweller, in Bishopsgate-street, now stated
that the ring produced by Mr. Walton as having been sub-
stituted by the prisoners, had been stolen by them from his
shop on the previous evening.
'f prisoners, who declined saying anyth'ng in defence,
were conirdtted for trial.

130 W. .STREET:

An elderly man, of shabby exterior, named lames Wal-
ton, was charged with having stolen nin' copper plates and
one steel place, on which were engraved subjects of the
paintings of Sir Joshua Reynolds and other eminent artists,
belonging to Messrs. Hodgson and Graves, publishers and
printsellers, of Pall-mall.
From the evidence adduced it appeared that the pre-
vious evenilg, at about six o'clock, the prisoner entered
the shop of a man aimed Dugdale, bookseller, in Drury-
lane, and, accosting the shopman, inquired whether he
could tell him where he could sell some copper Vates, at the
same time producing the plates in question. The shopman
answered that he could not, and the prisoner was about
to pack up the plates and go away, when Dugdale himself
enterol the shop. lie demanded to know what- the pri-
soner had t':cre, and he repeated to hhn the question which
he had put to the shopman. Dugdale requested to see the
plates, and prisoner having exhibited them to him he asked
him how he came by them, The prisoner answered imme-
diately that he had made them hiriii6elf, but that he was de-
sirous of disposing of them, and would sell them for ')Os.
Dugdale was of opinion that the plates were of greater value
than the price demanded, and having told the prisoner that
he knew a person in the neighlionrhand who ould be
likely to purchase them, he sent for Mr. Morris, a print
seller and publisher, living at No. 11, Holywell-street
On his arrival the prisoner repeated the same story he had
already told, and declared that if he did not sell the plates
in their present form be must take them borne and beat
them up, in order to dispose of them as old met:il. Mr.
Morris
prpceedod to examine them, however,. and found
than
to be
of
great value, and lie soon found, from various
marks which they bore, that they had bel9nged to 144esrs.

your Committee approve of the reduction of the salaries of the
great officers of State, they see no reason to suggest that any
redaction in the salaries of the other members of the House-
hold should take place.
During the late reign the Lad:cs in attendan(.o on her Ma-
jesty were provided for out of the sum of 50,000/., allotted
to the Queen Consort, and which has been already omitted
from the first cla‘s of the Civil List. It, therefore, becomes
necessary—during the reign of her Majesty—that provision
should be made for the ladies of her Majesty's Household.
In order to guard as far as practic..ible against the increase
of superannuaiion and retired allowanc:s, your Committee
trust that these charges may not, in ordinary eireunristance;,
he allowed to excerd the limits ais;gni.d by the general regu-
lati.m3 of the public s,r‘ice ; and that the possibil:ty of esta-
blishing a superannuiltiou fund in eertai.i departments cf the
household should be carefully considered.
Although your Committee have not had the means of exa-
mining into the subject with the minute attention that wculd
enable them to form a definitive opinion, they are inclined to
think that, by her Majesty's permiisien, it would be a fit sub-
ject for an inquiry, to be carried on by the Treasury and the
great departments of the Household, whether the several
existing offices of pay might not be united and consolidated;
and a system, simpler, more economical, and equally efficient,
substituted in their room.

Two offices' appear on the Civil List of his late Majesty
which were formerly borne on the Army Estimates—the
Governor and Constable of Windsor Castle, who receves a
salary of 1,1201. and the Lieutenant-Governor, whose emo-
luments amount to 1731. After the principle was laid down,
that Military Governments should be abolished, and military
pensions substituted for such appointments, the above-men
tioned offices were transferred to the Civil List, As mo,o par-
ticularly appertaining to the state of the Sovereign, and con-
nected with the Royal residence. On these grounds your
Committee arc indived not to suggk st the abolilion of these
offices, but their consolidation, when a vacancy shall arise.
In considering the amount to be rocominended for this
class, your Committee feel it their duty to call the attention
of the Hons.., to the fact, that no application is now made to
Parliament for the grant of pensions for the servants of the
late King. With these explanations your Committee recom-
mend the estimate of 131,2601. for the second class of the
Civil List.

MR. PAINE AND MR. LAING.---It will be in the
recollection of our readers that some time since Mr. Laing,
the Magistrate, and a medical gentleman named Paine, in
turning the corner of a street ie the Sttrand, came in-contact
with each other, and, although the later apologised for the
accident, Mr. Laing struck him with his umbrella, and then
gave him in charge of a policeman, by whom he was taken to
Bow-street on the following morning. As Mr. Laing, how-
ever, refused to appear to substantiate the charge of assault
which he had preferred, and also could not be prevailed upon
to apologise and give a certain sum to a charity for having un-
warrantably given Mr. Paine into custody, an action was com-
menced against him, which was set down for trial in the Queen's
Bench before a special jury on Thursday last. The Court,
however, was not called upon to try the issue, the defendant,
at the eleventh hour, consenting to a verdict against him, with
501. damages, and the payment of all ccsts.—Observer.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

John Wilson was charged with having attempted to ob-
tain four shillings by a fraudulent pretence, from the resi-
dence of the Hon. W. Dundas, in Grosvenor-street.
It appeared from the evidence of William Marlow, one
of Mr. Dundas's domestics, that the prisoner came that
morning to the house and brought a parcel, which he made
appear to come from the Bull and Mouth Inn. He pre-
sented a bill for the carrisge, with a charge of four shil-
lings ; the bill was not on one of the regular bills of the
booking-office, but was written on one of the coach bills, by
way;of giving an appearance of authenticity to the demand.
The servant, however, had suspicions that the parcel was
not genuine, and he accordingly caused it to be inspected,
when it turned out to be nothing but cabbage leaves. The
prisoner was immediately given into custody.
