POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

EXTINGUISHING THE GAS AND DISORDERLY CONDUCT IN A
THEATRE.—Edwin Henry Crump, a clerk, living in
Stephen-street, Tottenham Court-road, was charged before
Mr. Tyrwhitt with disorderly conduct at the Queen's
Theatre, Tottenham-street, Tottenham Court-road, and
also with extinguishing the gas in the box-passage.
Wm. Francis, box-keeper at the Queen's Theatre, said
the defendant and some, companions, young men, were at
the theatre last evening, and behaved in a very disorderly
manner, clapping their hands and applauding when all the
other persons in the theatre were perfectly quiet. At the
same time, one of the gaslights was put out by some per-
son. After the defendant and his companions had been
expostulated with, they were quiet, but as the audience
were leaving the theatre he saw the defendant first look
for the gas tap, with the view of turning off the gas, but
failing in finding it he blew the light out.
The defendant said he blew the light, but did not think
it would go out.
Mr Tyrwhitt said if the defendant wanted to play his
monkey tricks he should go to a penny theatre. Extin-
guishing the lights in a theatre was a most mischievous
thing, and aided robberies.
The defendant said he was very sorry for what he had
done, but he had no improper object.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said ho should require the defendant to
find one bail for his good behaviour for three months.
The required bail was put in, and the defendant
liberated.

Witness—We do, sir.
Mr. Yardley—Go on with your evidence.
Witness—About 8 o'clock last evening I had just got
into the shop when I heard the bell ring.
Mr. Yardley—What bell ?
Witness—We have all the goods outside connected by a
string to a bell, and as soon as things are touched the bell
rings. On going outside I saw the prisoner with the three
shirts, valued at lOs 6d, in possession.
Mr. Yardley—You had, in fact, a thief trap ready
baited.
Witness—Yes, sir.
Mr. Yardley—You have this thief trap ready baited to
lead persons into temptation. Why do you hang your
things out ? I wish the law would allow me to punish you.
I would apply it with.great felicity.
George Adams, 882 A, deposed to taking the prisoner
into custody.

Mr. Yardley sentenced him to three months' hard labour.
