This was a judgment summons, and the defendant, an
elderly man, asked for time to pay the debt.

Mr. Beard—This is a case in which, for the protection
of the public, it is necessary that I should make some re-
marks. The defendant advertised for clerks, and required
a deposit. My dent answered the advertisement, and
handed a deposit of £5, He was in the office for three
weeks, and could neither get anything to do,nor any wages.
This sort of dealing has been exposed before, and I believe
some of the newspapers refuse to accept such advertise-
ments. My client is not disposed to shew defendant any
mercy.

Defendant urged that he should have time.
Mr. Beard—Why, he has actually advertised during the

in following up this case.

His Honour—l do not see how I can extend time to the
defendant. •

Defendant—l can pay the debt by instalments.
Mr. Beard—But lam quite sure that his Honour will not
consider this to be a case for such a course. I might use
very strong languige in this case.
His Honour—l cannot grant any further time. 1 shall
commit defendant for ten days, and allow the warrant to
lie in the office for a week,
Committed for ten days.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day,

BOW-STREET.
THE POLICE AND THE MARKET GARDENERS.--A party
of market gardeners, owners of the immense waggons
which are to be seen in such numbers in Covent-garden
market, were summoned at the instance of the police for
obstructing the roadway,

Inspector Brunbacomb said the defendants were sum-
moned for refusing to remove their vehicles when required
by the police. They perfectly well knew that 9 o'clock was
the hour for their departure, but yet they remained, and
created great confusion.

Mr. Lobjoy--The market •gardeners aro the persons who
have made Covent-garden what it is, and surely tney ought
to be treated with a little consideration. It was not the
wish of any to stop after the regular hour if the goods were
sold, but what is a person to do when that is not the case.
The police interfere in many cases most unnecessarily, and
instead of debating with the men in charge of the waggons
if they were to represent the matter to the owners, who are
always easily found, much of the difficulty would be avoided.
One of the constables said the waggons did not clear off
sometimes till after 11 o'clock, and there was no room for
the carriages which arrived with persons to make purchases
in the Grand-row.
Mr. Lobjoy—How can it to be called a stoppage if there
is 18 feet of opening between the waggons and the opposite
kerb stone ?
Mr. Corrie•—lt appears to me that the police want to get
the waggons out to let the carriages occupy the vacated
grcund, while their owners make their purchases.
Mr. Lobjoy—Quite so, and the gardeners think they
ought to have as much consideration as the rest, A grower
would only be too glad to go away at nine o'clock if
he had sold his goods. If the police were to act with a
little more forbearance, the growers, I am sure, would
do all in their power to assist to maintain order, but there
must be mutual conciliation. A grower will go awey as
soon as he can, but when unfortunately he has to remain a
little longer than is allowed according to the present regu
lation, he must be treated with some consideration.
Mr. Corrie—Yes, there must be mutual conciliation.
The police have a difficult duty to perform, and in doing it
they must act as fairly as possible. The market
gardeners I am sure will assist them, and I shall dismiss
the present summons.

THAMES.
A MARINE BURGLAR.—LUCKY ESCAPE.—David Do-
novan, an Irish Cockney, about 23 years of age, and well-
known to the police, was brought before Mr. Woolrych,
charged with stealing two Guernsey shirts, the property of
Captain R. B. Evans, the master of the ship Petrel, in the
West India Dock.
The prisoner was seen on board the Petrel a few days
since, and on being asked his business there he replied that
he came to seek employment. He was told that he was not
wanted, and ordered to leave the ship immediately. He
seemingly did so, but managed in some manner to obtain
admission to the captain's cabin, from which he was seen
to emerge shortly afterwards and hasten on shore. He was
followed and brought back, and on being searched two
" Guernseys," belonging to Captain Evans, and which
were taken out of a box in the after cabin were found
upon him. The property was identified by Captain
Evans, who said his ship was to sail this very day
(Saturday) for North America on the Gulf of Mexico, and
that he must sail with her.

Charles Mutton, a day watchman in the London Dock,
said the prisoner was a regular marine burglar, and was
suspected of committing other robberies on board ship in
the course of the last few weeks. Whenever he saw him
in the dock he turned him out.
William Gayler, a police-constable, No. 303 K, said the
prisoner was convicted at the Westminster Sessions on the
19th December, 1860, and sentenced to 12 months' impri-
sonment and hard labour.
The prisoner—I was innocent of that—as innocent as any
cap.

finder was enabled to get within a couple of lengths at the
distance. Aldcroft then set her going, and won, with con-
summate ease, by a dozen lengths. Run in srain. 2isee.

Betting-7 to lon Tolurao, 3to 1 agst Incitattui, and 4

Gaylor—Tho prisoner has been convicted summarily
hree times since then.

Mr. Woolrych said that under ordinary circumstances
he should commit the prisoner for trial, but it would be a
serious loss to the prosecutor if he compelled him to remain
here and give evidence at the sessions. He should there-
fore again convict the prisoner summarily and sentence him
to three months' imprisonment and hard labour. The pri-
soner ought to be sentenced to a long term of penal servi-
tude.

DISHONEST LIGHTERMEN.—STEALING WINE IN TRAN-
SIT.—John Poole, a lighterman in the employ of Messrs.
Middlemiss and Harwood, was brought before Mr. Wool-
rych, charged with stealing a bottle of sherry wine.
Two lightermen, named John Wardell and Alfred Adams,
were convicted on Thursday for stealing a gallon of port
wine from a cask which they had broached. They were in
the employ of Messrs. Whellock and Co., lightermen and
barge owners, and had to convey 35 casks of wine, in a barge
called the Faith, from the London to the St. Katherine
dock. They forced a cask of port wine between the two
docks, drunk about half a gallon of the wine, and were
"gloriously intoxicated," and were bringing on shore a
bladder containing half a gallon of port wine, when they
were stopped by two Customhouse officers, named Brown
and Riddle, and the half gallon of wine seized. There was
a deficiency of four quarts of wine in the cask which had
been spilled in the bilge. Mr. Woolrych "had no doubt the
prisoners had stolen the wine, and fined them 20s each for the
unlawful posession thereof." Those fines were paid by the
foreman of the firm who employed the prisoners, and he
took the prisoners away.
The case of Poole was somewhat like that of Wardell and
Adams. The prisoner was entrus'ed with the navigation
of a boat containing 120 cases, 2 hogsheads, and a butt of
wine, to convey from the London Dock to a ship lying near
one of the wharves at Horsleydown. The barge was dis-
o-Nered in a part of the river a mile from the place where
she ought to have been. The prisoner was on board fast
asleep, and a bottle of sherry wine close to his head. One
of the cases on board was found to have been displaced and
broken open. It ought to have contained 12 bottles of
sherry wine. There was a deficiency of one bottle of wine.
The prisoner appeared to have been drinking heavily, but ,
whether he had indulged in another bottle of sherry taken
from another case could not be ascertained.
The prisoner, in defence, said he laid down and fell asleep
from fatigue, and that while he was asleep some one must
have boarded the barge and broke open the case.
Mr. Woolrych—You had charge of the barge and the
wines, and I can come to no other conclusion than this,
that you stole the bottle of wine. I fine you 20s. for the
unlawful possession of the wine, and, in default, 10 days
imprisonment,

Incitatus was the first off, but after running a few strides
he resigned the lead to the favourite, who carried it on for
the first quarter of a mile, whezi he was joined by Lord of
Linne, who raced with him into the straight,where Tolurno
gave way, and his plate was taken by Santhal, with Inci-
tatus at his girths ; but as they proceeded Lord of Linne in.
creased his lead,and won in a canter by half a dozen lengths ;
a bad third. The winner was claimed by Mr. Ten Brooch,
and Mr. Law claimed Tolurno.
