OBTAINING A SITUATION AT MRS. CAVENDISH BEN-
TTNCR'S By MEANS OF A FALSE CHARACTER.—Richard
Field, footman, was charged by Inspector John Wilson, of
the C division, with obtaining a situation as footman to
Mrs. Cavendish Bentinck, of 48, Charles-street, Berkeley-

square, by means of a false character.
Mrs, Cavendish Bentinck said the prisoner came to her
in the month of March last offering himself for the situation
of footman. She inquired where he had last lived, and he
said with a gentleman named King, at East Woodley,
Hants. She asked him whether he could have a personal
character, and he said that the gentleman was then out of
town. She wrote to the address, and received an answer
containing an excellent character of the prisoner, and in
consequence she engaged him and he entered on his duties.
Finding tho prisoner's conduct not at all in accordance
with the character she received of him, and which she sup-
posed came from Mr. King, and which had induced her to
engage him, she wrote to Mr. King, asking how it was
that he had given the prisoner such a character, but re-
ceived no answer. She then discharged the prisoner on
the 15th of May for insobriety, and afterwards received the
letter she had last sent to Mr. King back through the Dead
Letter-offiea of the General Post-office.
In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, Mrs. Bentinck said she was
led to suspect the prisoner from the peculiar way in which
he did his duty, and from his not being at all sober—fre-
quently incapable. He had frequently spoken of Mr. King
to her, and said that he had lived with him at an hotel in
Albemarle-street.
Inspector Wilson said about six yesterday evening he
went to the Coach and Horses, Mount-street, Grosvenor-
square, and seeing the prisoner in the bagatelle-room, said,
"Field, I want to speak to you." The prisoner then made
off through a door in the room he (Mr. Wilson) was not
aware of, and after a smart chase he was captured in South
Audley-street. On telling the prisoner the charge, he said
"Yes, it's all right, but I never took anything while I was
there." He had written to the superintendent of police
at East Woodley, and found no person of the name of
King resided there.
Prisoner was remanded.

DISGRACEFUL OUTRAGE AT THE Turvon TAVERN,
KNIGHTSBRIDGE.—John Caddemore and Wm. M'Luskey
were charged with gross misbehaviour, (Wrenn, and damage
at the Trevor Tavern, Knightsbridge.
Mr. Henry Edward Street, proprietor of the tavern, said
that at eleven last evening defendants came into the house,
and having been seized with some ale by the barmaid, re-
fused to pay fer it. Complainant then spoke to them upon
the subject, when he was assailed with the most indecent
and disgusting language, which was used by IsPLuskey,
without the slightest hesitation, and in the hearing of com-
plainant's sister and barmaid. M‘Luskey then seized com-
plainant by the throat, when complainant sent for a police-
man. Defendants were then put out after refusing to go,
when IrLuskey returned again and assaulted the com-
plainant, and Caddemore endeavouring to force his way into
the house broke a large pane of glass. When Caddemore
was removed he was very violent.
Alfred Robinson, waiter at the tavern, said that when
the disturbance commenced he quietly asked Caddemore to
go out, when he refused. Witness and a fellow barman
then removed him, when he seized them by the throat and
twisted his legs round them. M'Luskey subsequently
struck at Mrs. Street.
Wm. Seymour, 187 B, said that when ho was called he
found M'Luskey in the act of striking Mrs. Street. He
saw Caddemore follow one of the inmates to assault him.
Defendants wished to ride to the station and witness allowed
them, but when they got to the station they refused to pay
the cabman.
Caddemore said he was turned out for smoking, and
went back for his hat, which was left in the house, and the
glass was broken by accident in the struggle at the door.
M'Luskey declared that a dispute arose about payment for
the ale, when Mr. Street took his hat off to keep until they
paid. He then seized Mr. Street to make him give up the
hat, and was put out. He went to the station to see what
became of his friend, when ho was locked up. All the dis-
pute arose in consequence of his hat being taken.
Mr. Street and the witnesses proved that his hat was not
touched by Mr. Street until after he had assaulted him.
Mr. Arnold said that the conduct of the two defendants
was altogether most disgraceful, and had they been dif-
fen charged they would have been liable to more

three months.
