LONDON ADJOURNED SESSIONS.

A man of respectable sedate appearance, named Jones,
and his wife, were indicted for keeping a house of bad re.
piste in Lombard-court, Whittifriare. The male defendant
occasionally preached, and generally carriedaßible with him.
The COMMON SZUJICANT stated, that robberies were
not 'infrequent in the house, and that the defendants were
in the habit of enticing poor young creatures to the house,
taking every farthing of the profits of their dreadful trade,
and as soon as custom abated, turning them into the
streets to perish. He instanced the case of on interesting
girl, who had been taken away from her parents in
Buckinghamshire, where they kept a large farm.
The girl alluded to, who is we understand, completely
reclaimed, st,ted that the house was one of the most in-
famous description ; that when she first entered she saw
Mr. Jones, with his spectacles on his nose, reading
chapter in the Bible to Mrs. Jones, and that both were so
intently occupied in holy consideration, that they did not
notice her until the chapter was finished, and Mr. Jones
had turned down the leaf, with a " blessed be God."
Whenever wi ness received money, they both searched her,
and she was never allowed to have a farthing.
A constable stated that he had been often called into the
house to check a riot, and also upon the occasion of
robberies, and he knew that the house MI one of the worst
kind—a regular out-and-outer. On his cross-exmina.
tiers, he admitted that lie had " driekeil" in the house,
and that his wife " knowed" and occasionally " wisited"
the landlady.
The CoMMoN SXRJEANT—I hope when you were in the
house, your wife was with you, my friend ? Constable—
No, please you, my Lord, she wa'nt with me. .
The COMMON SERJEANT—WeII, I hope, at any rate,
that whets your wife went there, you went with her.
Constable, after some hesitation—No, I can't say as.l jilt
did go along with her.
The (lummox Setae...NT—What I did she go there in
your absence? Constable (rather botbered)—Upon trig
word I hope not, please you my Lord.—(Laughter.)
Mr. Suez, for the defendants, contended that the evi-
dence did not, at all event*, go to prove that the houselwas
a disorderly one.
The Jury, however, thought otherwise: for they found
both defendant' Guilty.
The Re:cosiness told the man that his conduct was the
snore base, as be put on the appearance of sanctity and
piety. The sentence of the Court upon him, therefore,
was, imprisonment for six months; upon his wife, impri-
sonment for three.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW.STRIt;ET.

Yesterday n military 'looking man, about 45 years of
age, was charged before Mr. Haus with having been
riotous and disorderly in the Strand,*at two o'clock in the
morning.

Police
Police constable F. Stl, stated that he was on duty in
the Strand that morning at the hour mentioned, when he
saw the prisoner proceeding in the direction of Temple..
bar, with a bundle on hie bark, which was tied to the end
of a stick. He was shouting and singing so loud 'as to
disturb the neighbourhood, and he (witness) remonstrated
with him upon such conduct, but the prisoner said he'd
be - if cared one straw for all the police in London,
adding that they were nothing more than a set of

gensdirmerie, and that he would not desire better sport
than to.knock them about. He then said that hi bad
just come from France, and spoke of the glorious example
wEish the French people had set us, and hoped aeon to
see the same doings in England, with a great deal of
similar language. Witness requested him to go home, but
the prisoner declared that he would not stir a step, and
that he was determined to say and do Wort he thought
fit. He then began to abuse witness and the service to
which he belonged, unit at last he (witness) took him
both custody, and conveyed him with some difficulty to the
station in Covent-garden, at the door of which a crowd
of persons had collected, to whom the prisoner addressed
himself, calling upon them to assist him in resisting the
police. s s

Mr: Haus asked the prisoner who and what be was,
observing that such conduct was most disgraceful on the
part of a person who appeared to be respectable.
The prisoner said that his name was Thomas O'Shea,
and that he was an Ensign on halr-pay in the 3I garrison
battalion. He had been, he said, for the last four years
travelling nn the Continent, and had landed at Dover on
the preceding day, having been last in France. He ►uade
no attempt either to deny the language imputed to him, or
to defend his conduct.

Mr. liaLLa observed, that smelt behaviour on the part
of an officer in his Majesty's servioes who was drawing an
income from the country, was not only inexcusable but
rrfectly disgraceful,. and he (the Magistrate) should fail
in his duty, if he dill not make au example of the prisoner.
The Magistrate then asked the constable if the prisoner bad
(moulted him ?—The constable replier} in the affirmative,
and the prisoner was oraered to put in bait to answer for
his conduct at the seasion end to mark Ilia conduct, he
was further (miffed to give 48 hours' notice of the partiet,
whom be meant to propose as his sureties.
The Magistrate then directed the cri, rk to forward a
copy of the depositions to the Home Offiee, which was ac•
cordingly done, and the pri.oner Wal removed in custody.
