THE PUBLIC SAFETY.—Mr. George Frederick Sadler,
livery-stable keeper in Bessborough-place, Pimlico, :was
charged with being drunk under the following circum-
stances : •

Mr. Rolls, an inspector of the B division, said that he was
passing the Bag of Nails tavern, Pimlico, in plain clothes,
last evening, when he saw a crowd of persons assembled,
attracted, as it seemed, by defendant and another person,
who were both drunk on horseback. Defendant suddenly
rode upon the pavement amongst the crowd, and it was the
greatest mercy that some accident did not happen. A gen-
tleman laid hold of the horse'■ head to prevent mischief,
when defendant struck him across the hat with a Etick.
Witness took defendant into custody. The gentleman
walked away without making any charge against the
defendant.
The charge of drunkenness was not denied.

Mr. Dayman said that it was, indeed, most fortunate
that no mischief had resulted from the defendant's riding
amongst the people, which must be attended with great
danger. He bhould fine defendant 40s. or commit him for
seven days.

The fine was paid.
Mr. Robert Walter Jones, a corn merchant, Vauxhall-
bridge, was also charged with being drank and incapable
of taking care of himself and horse at the same time and
place.

Defendant said ho did not consider himself intoxicated.
He saw his friend Mr. Sadler taken to the station, and rode
there to see about the matter, when, to his great surprise, he
was locked up himself.
Mr. Rolls said that he saw defendant near the Bag of
Nails. Ile was so drunk that he was rolling about in his
saddle, and as the operation of unhorsing a drunken man
is always attended with some amount of risk, he considered
it better to let him go to the station before he interfered
with him, when there ho considered it his duty to detain
him, and did so.
Mr. Dayman (to defendant)—Have you antyhing further
to say ?
Defendant—After what the inspector has now stated it
would, I think, be useless.
Mr. Dayman—You are fined ss.
The fine was paid.

Inspector Draper said that neither of the wounded
persons were able to appear to-day.

The following cettificate was then handed to Mr. Tyr-
what:—

" "St George's Hospital, Oct. 13.
This is to certify that Albert Rose Wardell is an in-
patient i i this hospital, having reesived a wound on the
lower side of the right thigh, and also a wound on the outer
side of the left thigh, which necessitates his confinement to
bed.

wm. HOPE, House Surgeon."
Mr. Tyrwhitt said lie would remand the prisoner for
another week.

Mr. Sayer (from the office of Mr. Edward Lewis, of
Great Marlborough-street), who appeared for the prisoner,
asked that bail might be taken, but Mr. Tyrwhitt refused
the application.
John Mahony, who was remanded on a charge of assault
in the riot, was next brought up.

The evidence taken on the last occasion having been read
over by the chief clerk,

A young man said he was knocked down by a party of
which the prisoner was one, but he could not positively say
the prisoner knocked him down.

The case being imperfect, Mr. Tyrwhitt said he should
remand the prisoner for another •veek.
Prisoner begged that that might not be done.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said he certainly should remand him. The
prisoner had had his day, and now came the reckoning.
It being mentioned that one of the witnesses, named
Daley, was not in attendance, Mr. Tyrwhitt said a summons
should issue for his attendance on the next occasion.

SOUTHWAK.
BURGLARY IN A Ptrum c-HousEß,—George Wade, a ruf-
fianly-looking fellow, about 40, whose occupation was un-
known, was charged with stealing a quantity of wearing
apparel, the property of Mr. John Cotton, landlord of The
Rising Sun public-house, Kent-street, Borough.
From the evidence it appeared that the property was safe
on Saturday night when the family retired to rest, but
when the landlord rose the next morning he discovered
that the drawers had been ransacked, and the property in
question abstracted. He immediately gave information to
the police.

Sergeant Pearce, 7 M, stated that when he was informed
of the burglary he examined the premises, and having
heard that a person answering the description of the pri-
soner was seen lurking about the house in the morning, he
made inquiries, which resulted in his tracing him to a low
lodging-house in White Horse-yard, Kent•street. On
searching the prisoner's room he found the stolen property,
but, notwithstanding, the prisoner denied that he had taken
the articles. He was not aware of any previous conviction
against the prisoner.
Committed for trial.
