MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Arthur Gibson, a
man of colour, was charged with having created a dis-
turbance at the residence of a gentleman named George
Sullivan Greenway.
The defendant, on the previous day, had come to this
court and made a statement to this effect, that he had
been brought from India, in the capacity of a servant,
by a gentleman, who had discharged him without pay-
ing him his wages, and that from this cause he was
wandering about the streets in a state of destitution.
The defendant was then told that his remedy, if he had
any claim for wages, was by process in the County
Court. Yesterday the defendant was put to the bar on
tle charge above stated. -
Mr. Greenway, of No. 36, Bury-street, St. James's,
said, he was a judge in the Hon. East India Company's
service. The prisoner came from India as his servant,
but was dismissed at Southampton, being no longer re-
quired. Since that time the defendant had been follow.
ing him about, declaring that he (complainant) owed
him a large sum for arrears of wages, although nothing
whatever was due. The prisoner had repeatedly mo
le.tted him on account of this alleged claim, and on the
previous evening he came to his apartment, and declared
he would remain there all night. It was necessary to
send for a constable and have the defendant removed to
the station-house.
Mr. Bingham told the defendant he was not justified
in the conduct he had pursued towards the complainant.
If he really had a claim for wages, he must substantiate
that claim in the County Court. He should now dis-
charge him on his own recognisance not to molest the
complainant again.

IVIARYLEBONE.—Mr. Broughton gave judgment
in a case in which Signor Sebastiano Pinto Leite, a
Portuguese merchant in the city, and his housekeeper
appeared on their personal assurance to attend, to an.-
swer the charge of taking from a stable attached to Mr
Leit4's residence, in Harley-street, Cavendish-square, a
quantity of cloth, alleged to be the property of a tailor
named Antonio Lopez Justinian°.
The magistrate, believing that there was no anima
furandi in the case, dismissed the complaint, and left
the parties to their remedy at civil action, if they
thought proper.

WESTMINSTER.—David Eagles, Thomas Waters,
and John Penfold, three tradesmen at Chelsea, were
charged with , breaking into the house, No. 3, New
g e•road, and assaulting a servant employed there
and her son ;11.lso with wilfully damaging the place.

and then he abused and threatened her.
Eagles said that the lady at the next house having as

Mr. Arnold asked how long the parties had been in
the house ?
The old woman replied, a week to-morrow.
The three defendants complained that they had fallen
into the hands of a gang of swindlers, to whom fish,
flesh, fowl, and a variety of other articles had been sup-
plied, and there was no prospect of payment. Waters,
the baker,•said that there must be a very large party
continually in the house, or they never could have dis-
posed of the bread he had left before he stopped the
supplies.
The old woman said he hadn't finished his week's
supply, and therefore couldn't expect his account.
Mr. Arnold observed, that if the tradesmen chose to
be foolish enough to trust persons of whom they knew
nothing, it did not justify them in breaking into the
house in this way.
Penfold said he (lid not trust them. They took 30s.
worth of goods which they had ordered in under an ex-
cuse that they would come for something else they
wanted directly and pay, and when he sent back for the
money or the goods lie could obtain neither.
