BOIV.STREET.

A gang of seven miscreants were detected at the
Bull-inn public-house, Bull-inn-court, Strand, on
Friday night, and brought to the offiee on Saturday
morning, before Sir R. BIRNIE and Mr. ilAms.
Robert Eagle, the landlord of the house, was
one of the accused, and the names of the re-
maining six are as follow :—John Renard, Charles
Williams, William Trimmer, (a man nearly sixty
years of age), Joseph Barnard alias Jones, (a
Jew), and William Franklin, a private soldier.
Their appearance in the dock excited the greatest
disgust, two of them having paint ❑pon their cheeks,
with their hair curled in drop ringlets, such as wo-
men wear.

William Humphreys, a private in the 2d Battalion
of the 3d Regiment of Foot Guards, was sworn,
and deposed that about four o'clock, on Friday, he
rent to the Bull-inn public-house, accompanied by
a fellow-soldier named Cheer. They went into the
parlour and saw two of the prisoners, Barnard and
Williams, playing at cards. A soldier was there
also. The witness deposed to acts which he saw
committed by the prisoners whom he named, and
others in the room. He and Cheer left the house
together, and immediately proceeded to the police
station, Covent-garden, where they gave informa-
tion of what they had witnessed, and in a short
time after they returned to the house, accompanied by
a serjeant of police, two constables, and two soldiers.
Witness and Cheer went again to the parlour, and
saw all the prisoners there, with other persons not
in custody. They were all behaving with great im-
propriety except the prisoner Franklin. Trimmer
squeezed witness by the hand, and was proceeding
to take other liberties, when he (witness) made a
signal, and his comrade and the police-officers im-
mediately entered the room. ['he prisoners, and
the others not in custody made a rush towards the
door, for the purpose of escaping, but the street-
door having been secured, they ran up stairs and
concealed themselves in different parts of the house.
The prisoner Renard was found concealed in a bed,
and Williams was discovered under a bed on the
second floor. The prisoners were then secured,
but several of the gang escaped.
Mr. Hams asked the witness if the conduct of
the landlord in the room was such as to induce him
to believe that he was aware of the practices which
were carried on.

The witness replied that the landlord must have
been aware of the fact, from the expressions he
used when addressing the prisoners.
Thomas Cheer, another soldier in the same regi-
ment, corroborated the above evidence.

Coffey, a porter employed in Covent-garden
market, was in the house at the time, and saw the
prisoner Brown offer money to the last witness to
let him go, but Cheer refused it.
Serjeant Wheatley, of the police, went to the
house with two constables, in consequence of the
information he received from the two soldiers who
were first examined. The moment he entered the
house, he ordered the door to be closed, and when
the signal was given, he seised the prisoner Barnard,
who was standing at the bar smoking.
The landlord, in his defence, denied the charge.
His wife and a female servant were in the habit of
attending in the parlour. He never heard any im-
proper songs or expressions.
The prisoner Barnard said that it was all a con-
spiracy against him and his companions, and added,
that the witness Cheer had trumped up the charge,
because he (Barnard) refused to treat him to a pint
of ale.

Franklin, the soldier, said he was not in the room
when the other prisoners were secured, nor was he
taken into custody until that morning.
The witness Humphreys was recalled, and wl.
mitted that Franklin was not in the parlour when he
returned to the house.

To a question by Sir R. BIRNIE, Franklin replied
that he had once been tried by rt court-martial, but
for nothing disgraceful.
'1 he prisoners, with the exception of Franklin,

who was given up to his regiment, wero all held 10
bail, and directed to give 48 boors' notice; and the
witnesses were ordered to lose no time in indicting
them at the sessions.

Three of the prisoners were recognized as old
offenders.

A CLOUDED HoNEYNrooN.—A young man of the
name of .Icahn Furneller, a porter belonging to one
of the club. houses, was brought up on a warrant
before Mr. DYRIt, charged with threatening tha life
of his wife.

The complainant, a remarkably interesting looking
young woman, about eighteen years of age, stated
that in consequence of the ill-treatment of her hus-
band she was obliged to apply to the Magistrate for
his protection.
Mr. DYER— What has he done to you ? Has he
struck you ? Complainant—He did last Thursday ;
and he has another wife living, but I am not able at
present to prove it.

- Mr. DYL—Has he done any thing the to you ?
Complainant---Oh, yes, Sir, he has threatened to
s'ab me, and also to poison me, and I am in danger
from hi 3 threats.

Mr. DYBR—WeII, young man, how is this that
you make use o;- such horrid threats to your wife ?
Defendant—When I said so, I was in a passion.
Complainant—You have often said that you would
stab me, and if you could not succeed in getting rid
of me by- this means that you would put some poison
into my tea. The reason of this conduct is owing to
his having another wife, which he has often said is
the case. Defendant—l have no other wife.

Complainant—l have only been married to him
eight weeks. After the first few days he never
came home of a night to me. At the end of the
first fortnight be proposed that I should go to ser•
vice and he would go into the country. I replied
that being married I would do no such thing, but I
was ready to have any kind of work at home to
assist our exertions. This, however, he refused to
comply with, and which is the origin of his threats.
Instead of being at home with me of a Sunday he
has been taking out a young wcman who is a ser-
vant in the neighbourhood in which he lives, although
he has another wife beside, myself.—The defendant,
in reply to this catalogue of truisms, merely said,
" You wished to be separated."
Mr. DYER observed, that it was not probable that
any young married woman would wish to be sepa-
rated from her husband after so short a wedlock
had not his conduct been very bad to her. De'
fendant—l have behaved very kind to her.
Mr. DYER—I know nothing of your conduct to-.
wards your wife except what has transpired upon
this occasion; but I will not encourage those abo-
mineble threats towards any female, much less to
wife. Under these circumstances you must find
bail. Defendant—l have not any bail in attendance.
Mr. DYRR—Than you evil' be committed. The
defendant was accordingly consigned to the hand,
of the gaoler, without receiving one parting look
.
from his nenly7married wife.
