BOW-STREET.

THE HAT Grxnn NUISANCE.—A young man named
Abel Harris was placed at the bar charged with annoying
the passengers to the steam boats, in Villiers-street, Strand.
Police-constable 146 F said yesterday afternoon the pri-
soner was selling hat guards in Villiers-strand, Strand, and
as there had been frequent complaints about the annoyance
he asked him to go away, but he took no notice of the
caution, and as a gentleman was proceeding to the steam
boats he threw a guard over his hat and fastened it to his
coat. The gentleman, to avoid the annoyance, gave the
prisoner a penny, as he had followed him all the way down
the street. Witness then went up and took the prisoner
into custody, but instead of walking quietly to the station-
house he went down on his knees and attempted to throw
him on his back, but he did not succeed in that, and with
some difficulty he was conveyed to the station-house.
Prisoner said the gentleman had bought the hat-guard,
and he was fastening it for him when the constable came
up and collared him.

The Magistrate told him he had no right to annoy the
public in the manner he had done.

Prisoner—Well, if you let me go this time, I 'won't go
there again.

Police-constable 82 F—He told your worsbl,p that about
three months ago.
Inspector Brimbacombe said comp►.aints had been sent
from the inhabitants of Villiers-st,:eet to the commissioners
about the nuisance.

The Magistrate said the prisoner must pay a fine of 10s.
The prisoner was locked up in defsult.
Three men named Cobley, Burnes, and Roger, were
cbarged with being found in some unfinished buildings
ri.ar St. Martin's-lane, for an unlawful purp,,,,
Police,quatable 61}', said he was on duty on Sunday
morning about half-past two, when on passing some of the
unfinished houses nett/. St. Martin's.lane he heard certain
noises, which convinced him that there were some persons
on the premises. He obtained the assistance of some other
constables and found the three prisoners in different parts
of the houses. There were marks on tho wall of the Mitre
public-house which backed upon the property, and a
window was found open which led him to believe that the
prisoners were there for an unlawful purpose.
The prisoners, who all said they had dropped into the
house to sleep, were remanded in order that inquiry might
be made about them.

premises of Dr, Elliss, 63, Sloane-street, on Sunday morn-
ing,

wall searched the buildings in the neighbourhood until he
found the prisoner lying behind the door of Dr, Elliss's
surgery. Ho had endeavoured to conceal himself under a

soner

Constable—
Sullivan said his mother had sent him ey.

Mr. Tyrwhitt—l do not know that there is any law
against tumbling, but there is danger to the boys, and it
certainly createe a disturbance, and annoys some
persons.
It is very proper they should be brought here, as a
caution, bnt I shall discharge them this time. It is a
dangerous
thing, and if any of the boys get killed, there will be in-
quiries why the police do not interfere.
The boys were discharged.
