BOW. STREET.

Seventy-six cases, chiefly of a riotous and dis-
orderly description, were disposed of yesterday by
Sir R. BIRNIR and Mr. HALLS. In the course of
the morning the former Magistrate observed that he
really did not know how the persons whom he was
obliged to commit would find accommodation at the
prisons to which they would respectively be sent,—
He (Sir R. Birnie) had received letters from the
Governors of. the three Metropolitan prisons, stating
that they could not positively receive more prisoners,
as the gaols were so
,crowded that some of the in-
mates were obliged to sleep in the open air.
A prostitute was charged by police constable F.,
169, with having been riotous and disorderly, and
also with having abused him while in the execution
of his duty.
The defendant, in answer to the charge, said she
was standing at the east side of Temple-bar when
the constable invited her to take a walk with bim,and
he also offered to treat her with a drop of drink. She
accordingly placed herself under his protection, but
instead of keeping his promise, like a gentleman, he
took her to the watch-house, and locked her up.
Sir R. BIRNIE observed, that if such were the
case, she certainly had some right to complain of the
constable's want of gallantry.
The constable explained the matter by stating,
that the defendant and ether girls of her class were
in the constant habit of annoying him on his beat,
between Pickett-street and Temple-bar. It was
next to impossible to take them into custody, for
when pursued, they would make for the Bar, and,
taking refuge at the city side, hold him at defiance.
The defendant was very disorderly on the occasion
in question, and abused himlikeaprckupgehckthete,Baarnd.

was perfectly justified in using his powers of flattery
to effect that object, when other means had failed.
The defendant was sent for a month to the House
of Correction.
Wright, the foreman to the British Vire.ogi
ce,

applied to the Magistrates for advice and assist-
ance under these distressing circumstances
He had been, he said, a householder for 40 years
in St. Martin's parish, and his father, mother, wife,
and child, had been interred' iti`the burial• ground
attached to it. Having heard that the Commie:.
sioners of Woods and Forests had purchased their
growl(' from the parish for the purpose of carrying
into effect the Charing-cross improvements, and
being fearful that in removing the remains of the de-
ceased to another burial-ground, the bones of his
relatives could not be identified, he gave notice of
his intention to disinter, at his own expense, the re-
mains of his mother and child, for the purpose of
placing them in a leaden coffin, but was surprised to
learn that the remains of his child bad been carried
away in a cart, contrary to his expressed desire,and
in spite of the notice which he had given.
Mr. HALts respected the motives which had in-
duced the applicant to come forward, but he feared
it was a case in which a Magistrate had no power
to interfere. The churchwardens of the parish, he
conceived, were the proper persons to whom appli-
cation ought to be made.
Wright had applied to Mr: Deville, one of the
church a ardens, who referred him to Mr. Robinson,
of the Woods and Forests, and upon making known
his desire to that gentleman, he gave him an order
to remove the remains of his relatives from the
ground for the purpose of securing them in a leaden
coffin.

Sir H. BIRNIE observed, that the matter rested
with the parish, and not with the office of Woods
and Forests. The Magistrate added, that the pa-
rish of St. Martin had received, in lieu of the ground
which they had given to the Commissioners of
Woods and Forests a place in the neighbourhood
of Fall-mall, where they were now engaged in erect-
ing catacombs, for the reception of the bodies which
they had been obliged to disinter. He was sure
that the churchwardens of the parish would pay
every attention to the wish of the applicant.
Wright had already given notice of his intention,
not only to the churchwardens, but to the sexton,
and other persons connected with the parish, but it
appeared that his application had been wholly dis-
regarded. He added, that as he could obtain no re-
dress, he would cause bills to be circulated through the
parish, complaining of the manner in which he had
been treated.

Mr. lIALLs advised him to let his feelings cool
before he adopted any rash step.

VNION.HA

Yesterday three men, named Smith, Driver, and
Clark, were brought before Mr. CHAMBERS, charged
with breaking into the premises of Mr. Farmer, oil
and paint manufacturer, in Lock's-fields.—Com-
mitted.

A young man, named Roberts, was charged with
interrupting the service at a dissenting meeting-house
in Burdett-street, Wal worth.

Some of the congregation, who came up to appear
against the defendant, complained that they were
continually annoyed by a set of vagabonds, who en-
tered the chapel for no other purpose than to have
what they denominated " a lark," and generally
commenced their fun by blowing out the candles,
and ridiculing the gestures of the individual who
happened to be in the pulpit at the time. On the
present occasion the defendant, on entering the
chapel, knelt down, it was supposed, witk the view
of offering up his adorations to the Creator, bat in-
stead of doing so, be commenced with a loud voice
to sing " God save the King," and the more those
who were near the spot endeavoured to dissuade him
from such improper conduct in a place of worship,
the louder he raised his voice, until it was at length
deemed expedient to carry him out by main force,
and he was afterwards given into custody.
The Magistrate told the defendant that he was
liable to a penalty of 201., or in default thereof, to
three months' imprisonment, for disturbing a reli-
gious congregation.
Defendant—They are a regular set of " swad•
dlers" what go to that there chapel, and none on
'em know what they are about. There is such a
terrible kick-up the moment as they begin the ser-
vice, more like a bear-garden than a church. I don't
believe as how they have got a licence for such a
place, and I thought there was no harm in joining
in the chorus, for they were singing a song ►very
like " God save the King" when I went in.
In reply to the Magistrate, one of the congrega-
tion said they called themselves Primitive Methodist.,
and that their service was performed in a licensed
place.
The defendant was held to bail to answer the
charge at the sessions.

An inquert was held at the Phoenix Inn, Mor-
peth, on the 27th ult., on the view of the body of an
Italian, named BAPTISTS Blow Ann, who was one of the
attendants on the female elephant which lately performed
at the Adelphi. It appeared from the evi4ence, that the
man had stabbed the elephant in the trunk with a pitch-
fork, about two years ago, while in a state of intoxication,
and that, on the Tuesday evening previous to the inquest,
the animal caught hold of him with her trunk, and did
him so much injury that he died on the succeeding day.
Verdict—Died from wounds and bruises received from the
trunk of an elephant.—Deoiland ss.

A poor Irishwoman, of the name of JANE
Mortals, residing in Jones's-court, Bainbridge-street, St.
Giles's, whose husband had left her some time time ago in
a state of great destitution, was suddenly taken ill with the
throes of labour, between four and five o'clock on Sunday
morning last. As there was nobody in the house in which
she lodged to render her the least assistance, nor any ac-
commodation in her apartments proper for her condition,
the poor creature endeavoured to crawl out, with the view
of getting to the workhouse if possible in time, but before
she tottered half-way down the court, she felt herself unable
to proceed, she sunk upon the p►vement, and in the most
violent pangs was delivered of a dead child. Her groans
attracted to the spot the policeman who was on duty in
Bainbridge-street at the time, Hewsom, No. 94, division
E, and he, upon aseertaininglthe real situation the woman
was in, ran to the station-house in Church-streetT, and
communicated the circumstances to Mr. LINCOLN, the in•
Spector, who, taking two or three of his men with him
hastened back to where the woman and child were lying,
and humanely rendered her all the assistance which the
necessity of her circninstauces required. He ordered Mrs.
ADAMS, the midwife, to be sent for, and she was promptly
in attendance ; but unfortunately it was too late for her to
be of any essential service. Mr. LINCOLN sent also to the
workhouse of Sr. Giles's pariah, and thence procured a
couch, upon which the poor creature was laid in a state of
very great exhaustion, and removed to the workhouse. We
understand there are but little hopes entertained of her re-
covery.

MYSTERIOUS DEATH OP AN OLD LADY.
—A considerable sensation was yesterday morning created
in Canterbury-place, Lambeth, in consequence of the sud-
den dissolution of Mrs. DANCE, an elderly lady of inde-
pendent fortune, who resided with her daughter at No.
24, at the above place. Mrs. Dance was a widow, and
most respectably connected, and for the last four years
lived with her dlughter, Miss DANCE, who is about 40
years of age, in the above house. Both mother and daugh-
ter were remarkably eccentric, and so rarely was any one
seen to visit them, that their dwelling seemed deserted and
desolate. Yesterday morning a suspicion was excited in
the neighbourhood in consequence of the parlour shutters
being 'closed, and these suspicions were considerably
strengthened upon Mr. Hutson, who occupies the ad-
joining house, knocking loudly at the door without its be-
ing opened. A general opinion prevailed that the old lady
and her daughter had been murdered, and information
hiving been conveyed to the police station-house, the Su-
perintendent despatched two Constables to the house borne:.
diately. Having searched the lower part of the house,
they proceeded upstairs, when, on entering the bed-room
of the old lady, they, undrawing the curtain, saw her
lying on the bed lifeless, and her daughter lying by her
side in a state of the deepest lethargy, as if produced 'by
some powerful narcotic. Mr. BECK, a surgeon, was in.
stantly sent for, and gave it as his opinion that she had
been dead some hours. There were several bruises and
black marks about her throat, as if she had been strangled
in her sleep. On searching the room, a phial, which bad
contained laudanum, was found, which led Mr. Baca to
believe that the deceased and her daughter had taken some
of that poison ; but on drawing off the contents of the
stomach from the latter, he saw nothing to warrant that
opinion► as no appearance of laudanum could be traced.—
The survivor, who eppeara to be labouring under an
aberration of mind, refuses to make any disclosure.. She
is still in the house under the care of the police.
