BOW -ST REET.—David Mitchen Bird, the printer of
,he Economist newspaper, appeared before Mr. Jardine
to answer a summons issued by the direction of Lord
Palmerston, and charging him with having failed to
comply with the provisions of the new act for the pre-
vention of the smoke nuisance in London.
Mr. Bodkin attended to support the summons, and
, drew attention to the fact that 12 months' notice had
been given by the Legislatuie before the act came into
operation, in order that the owners of large furnaces, &c.,
might have ample time to apply one or other of the many
cheap and practical remedies which, as they had taken
care previously to ascertain, would insure the prevention
of the nuisance. The defendant, however, who occupied
premises in the middle of the Strand, had not thought
proper to avail himself of any of these plans, and, in
spite of repeated cautions, he still suffered immense
volumes of filthy, opaque smoke to be emitted from his
chimneys, to the annoyance of the whole neighbour-
', hood. Under these circumstances, the Commissioners
of Police, acting under the sanction of Lord Palmerston,
I had caused the necessary proceedings to be taken against

him.
Inspector Mitchell, of the F division, deposed to hav-
ing repeatedly visited the premises in the occupation of
Mr. Aird, at 340, Strand. He had seen dense ma-ses
of smoke issuing from the furnace, which was of the
commonest possible construction, like a copper. Wit-
ness drew Mr. Aird's attention to the circumstance, but
on subsequent occasions the nuisance still existed.
Mr. Sandison, of Maiden-lane, Covent-garden, smith
machinist, proved that the smoke could be easily pre-
vented in a dozen different ways. Nothing was easier
than to stop the nuisance altogether, if people would
take the trouble to confer with the proper persons
whose business it was to do it.
The defendant said that one or two remedies had
been tried, but they were ineffectual, and diminished
the steam power materially. He had adopted the plan
tried years ago, when the city authorities passed a
similar measure, but it was not successful. He was
anxious, however, to do whatever was necessary in the
way of further experiment.
The defendant called a witness, who stated that he
was at present in communication with Mr. Prideaux,
of Whitehall, relitive to a plan which had been recom-
mended, and which would be applied immediately to
the Economist office.
Mr. Bodkin said this was quite satisfactory, and,
considering, who was connected with the journal printed
there, he had no doubt the nuisance would be prevented
Mr. Jardine considered this was very fair, and said
he would adjourn the summons for a fortnight.

MARYLEBONE.—Among the night charges brought
before Mr. Long by the S division of police was one
against a military-looking man, who had given the name
John Jones, for assaulting, under the following circum-
stances, a stylishly-dressed woman, named Ada Carlton.
The complainant, who, before the case was called on,
was waiting in a private room, got into the witness-box
and was sworn.

Defendant, upon seeing her kiss the book, made a
rush towards her, and entreated, calling her " Ada,"
that she would not do anything to injure him, as she
knew that he loved her most sincerely.
Complainant, who turned a deaf ear to his entreaties,
said—l reside in Victoria-crescent, Camden town. De-
fendant lives in Hartland-street. Yesterday evening I
left home to visit a friend of mine nearly opposite my
dwelling, at half-past nine. My servant came to inform
me that defendant was at my house, and desired to see
me. I didn't go home directly, and he then came to my
friend's residence, when he abused me in language of a
most gross description. I desired him to quit, and he
did so, and I returned to my home. Upon arriving there
he struck me with his stick several severe blows ; one
on the left breast, another on the shoulder, and a third
on the hand. My doctor says the injury I have received
on my breast is of so frightful a description that I shall
no d ,übt be afflicted with cancer for life. The doctor,
ho saw the defendant, attempted to pacify him by
every means in his power, and I told him (defendant)
that if he would leave my house quietly I would not do
anything to him ; but, instead of his doing so, he got
me on the sofa, where he held his stick over me, and
threatened to smash my head with it. This was after
the doctor had gone, and while the servant was, accord-
ing to my directions, seeking for a policeman.
Mr. Long—Are you married ?
Complainant—l am,
Mr. Long—Where is your husband 1
Complainant—Abroad, sir ;in India. This gentle-
man pretends that he is very fond of me, and has many
times jumped over my garden gate. He persists in
coming to see me, although he has been forbidden to
do so.
Defendant (to complainant)—Did you not tell me to
call upon you'at 10 last night ?
Complainant (after some hesitation)—Yes, I said you
might.
Defendant—Ada, you told me you would be home at
10. You know how jealous I am, and why do you ex-
cite me in the way you do l You say you are married,
and surely there is nothing strange in a man being jea-
lous of a married woman. Oh, Ada, my passion will, I
fear, be the ruin of me.
Mr. Long (to complainant) —Has he ever ill-used you
before 1
Complainant—Yes, sir, upon a former occasion be
beat me.
Defendant—Yes, but that was all through love.
Mr. Long—A most curious way, certainly, of show-
ing love towards a lady.
Defendant (to complainant)—Have I not slept many
times in your house ?
Complainant—Yes, but you have had a room to your-
self.

Mr. Long—Did he never sleep in your room ?
Complainant—Never.
Defendant—Did you consider me to be mad ?
Complainant—l did not.
Defendant—l thou.; lit I should have gone mad, I was
so excited ;I am sorry for what I have done. (Defend-
ant here leant his arm upon the dock and began crying )
Mary Anne Furness said--I am a servant to Mrs.
Carlton. Yesterday evening Captain Hay es came to my
mistress's house, and—
Mr. Long—The defendant gave his name Jones ?
Witness—l know he does, Sir, but his right name is
Captain Hayes ; he asked me if my mistress was in, and
I said no, when he took the candle from my hand and
looked for her all over the place, saying he knew she
must be there, for he heard her little dog bark. Upon
satisfying himself that she was not there, he desired me
to go for her, which I did ; but, as she (lid ant come
over directly he went to the house where she was him-
self. I beard him abuse my mistress at the door. He
and Mrs. Carlton shortly afterwards came over, when he
(the captain) hit my mistress over the breast, back, and
hand, with his stick. He also struck me on the chest
with great force. My mistress sent me for a doctor, and
while the doctor ,was with her she said to me, " Oh,
Mary, I shall die." I then went for a policeman.
Mr. Long—Has he come to the house often ?
Witness—Yes, sir ; he has been there repeatedly, but
I know my mistress does not wish him to come. One
night he jumped over the gate.
Mr. Long—Has he slept at your mistress's house ?
Witness—Not since I have been there, sir. I have
only been in her service three weeks.
Mr. Long—How often has he been at the house dur-
ing that time ?
Witness— He has been there very often, and they have,
sat together, but I am sure that nothing improper passed
between them.
Green, 42 S, said—When I went into the house I saw
defendant sitting on a sofa. He was drunk. He said,
"I did strike her with this." holding up a rather thick
stick (here produced), at the same time saying, " She
has deceived me, and I'll expose her." On the way to
the station-house he alleged that he was doatingly fond
of complainant, who had rejected him and annoyed him
in every possible way.
Defendant, on being asked what he had to say in
answer to the charge, replied that be was under the in-
fluence of drink. He denied having injured complain-
ant wilfully, and said that she struck him first with her
fist, and also took up a poker.
Complainant denied having done anything of the sort.
Mr. Long remarked that complainant's conduct as a
married woman had been improper in the extreme with
regard to the familiarity which had taken place. That,
however, was no justification on the part of the defend-
ant for the outrage which had been committed, and he
should therefore inflict a penalty of 51., or two months
in the House of Correction.
The fine was speedily paid.

Insurances on the Swarthmore, which sailed from Mel-
bourne with 63,128 ounces of gold on the 17th of June,
and is therefore about 139 daysiout, were effected yester-
day at Lloyd's at 40 per cent., apprehensions being
entertained regarding her safety.
