MARLBOROUGH-STREET, THIS DAY.

A MERCHANT CHARGED WITH THREATENING THE
PROPRIETOR OF THE CAFE DE L'EUROPE.-Mr. Joseph
Davison, 156, Cheapside, merchant, was charged with an-
noying Mr. Wm. John Wilde, proprietor of the Cafe do
l'Europe, 9, Haymarket, and also with threatening to anni-
hilate him.

Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap-
peared for the defendant.

Mr. Wilde said at a quarter to one o'clock this morning
he was in the coffee-room when he heard the defendant and
three others making a great disturbance. The defendant
took hold of him and said, " I'll annihilate you if you
dare say a word." He (Mr. Wilde) then called his porter
and sent him for a constable. On the constable coming he
told him that the defendant had threatened him, and asked
him to remove him. He told the defendant that he must
put his hand on him to remove him, and that if he resisted
he 'should charge him with assault. The defendant then
turned round and struck at him, but he moved his head and
avoided the blow. The constable then at his request took
the defendant into custody.

By Mr. Lewis—There was a great disturbance in the
coffee. room. There were :some foreigners there, and one
of them complained of the waiter charging too much. I
said the foreigner was a contemptible fellow. The defend-
ant said he would annihilate the whole in the coffee-room
and also outside. 1 did put my hand on the defendant.
Two or three of Mr. Wilde's waiters were called, with
the view of showing that the defendant and his friends, who
had been supping at Mr. Wilde's, were leaving without
paying, and that they detained them. Some of them said
thakthe defendant used the words, " I'll annihilate you" in
the coffee-room.

Mr.,Lewis addressed the magistrate at some length, and
said that the defendant had been assaultad by Mr. Wilde.
Mr. Frederick North, of Leeds, cloth merchant, was called
for the defendant, and denied the words " I'll annihilate
you" were used in the coffee-room, but admitted' they were
used by the defendant in the passage when Mr. Wilde put
his hand on the defendant.

Mr. Buckely, of South-street, Thurke-squgre, confirmed
Mr. North, and said that they bed a deal of trouble in
getting their bill from the waiters, having asked for it two
or three times. He paid the bill lor himself and three of
his friends before they left the coffee• room, and smother
friend paid his own bill. They were all sober but one,
and he was not quite so.
Mr. Richard Glaister, barrister, of 10, New-inn, confirmed
the other evidence for the defence.
Mr. Knox said he should discharge the defendant, and
should make no remarks about the case.

The business of the Court, much to the inconvenience
of all parties, did not commence till an hour after the pro-
per time.

WESTMINSTER, THIS DAY.

WHAM, DAMAGES AND GROSS MISCONDUCT AT
TAVERNS. —Eliza Maratan and Frederick Edwards were
brought before" the magistrates, the former charged with
wilfully breaking a pane of plate glass, and the latter with
attempting to rescue her.
. _

Harry Jarrett, barman to Mr. Woodward, the proprietor
of the Lord Nelson, King's-road, Chelsea, said that at an
early hour that morning the female defendant came to the
bar, and began making a disturbance. She was told to
leave, when she refused, and was then put out, upon which
she broke a valuable pane of plate glass. She was then
taken into custody. and on her way to the police station
the male defendant came up and endeavoured to take her
from the constable.

Police sergeant 35 B said he saw the female defendant
break the window, and took her into custody. Male defen-
dant then came up, and laying hold of her by the hand, said
she should come with him, and pulled her and witness half
across the road. Male defendant was then taken, and
went quietly.

Female defendant said she was put out of the house
without good reason.
Male defendant said he had been drinking, which would
alone account for his foolishly interfering with a matter
that did not concern him,
Mr. Arnold—This sort of case has become very frequent
of late, and must be put a stop to. Persons going into pub-
lic-houses and conducting themselves in a disorderly way
are very properly put out, in return for which they turn
round and break the windows. In all these cases lan
fully determined to support the tavern-keeper, and shall,
therefore, treat the offence with severity. I shall commit
you, Eliza Maratan, for 10 days to hard labour in the House
of Correction ; the male defendant must enter into his own
recognizances to keep the peace for three months.
