WORSHIP-STREET, —John- I?idtarcl. Clark was
placed at the bar, upon a charge of burgiariously en-
tering the dwelling of Mr. Wincott, of Pool-terrace,
City-road.

On Friday evening Mrs. Wincott was opening the
street door, when the prisoner jumped out of the parlour
window, and ran off, but was pursued with a cry of
"Stop thief!" and captured. Upon examination of the
parlour it was found to have been ransacked, and the
looking-glass' various dresses, and other articles, heaped
up, ready to be carried away. The prisoner exclaimed,
" Oh, pray, don't take me !" and so worked upon the
feelings of the prosecutrix that she said, " Well, I for-
give the man, as he has not taken anything away."
Toomey, 235 G-., had previously observed the prisoner
and two others loitering about the place.
The prisoner was committed to Newgate for trial.
John Davey, a rather elderly man, who was formerly
groom to the present Earl of Winchilsea, was charged
with feloniously marrying Sarah Gawthorn, of Shadwell,
his wife Mary being then and still living.
Michael Coles, parish clerk of Great Weldon, in
Northamptonshire, proved that he had known the pri-
soner 33 years, and was present at his marriage with
Mary Richardson, in January, 1823, and he saw the
female alive last week. It was now proved, however,
that he some years ago married the second wife at
Spitalfields, and then described himself as a bachelor.
The prisoner alleged that he thought his first wife was
dead, as, while at Rading, he received a letter informing
him that such was the fact, and he therefore thought
himself at liberty to marry again.
He was committed for trial.

LAMBETH.—Mr. George Brown, a cowkeeper, and
the owner of a dust-yard in South-street, Walworth-
common, appeared before Mr. Elliott to answer a sum-
mons under the Removal of Nuisances Act, for per-
mitting a nuisance on his premises, stated to be most
injurious to the health and comfort of the inhabitants of
the neighbourhood.

It was proved by the Inspector of Nuisances for St.
Mary, Newington, that the defendant not only kept
swine, but that he permitted, in spite of the remon-
strance of the inhabitants, an accumulation of filth,
composed of night soil and offal, in his dust-yard, the
stench from which was so great, that many persons had
suffered severe nausea and illness.

Witnesses were produced to prove this, and that, at
a time when cholera had made its appearance in the
parish, the nuisance was becoming really alarming.
The defendant was convicted in a penalty of 20s. and
costs, the magistrate informed him that unless he at
once and entirely removed the nuisance, the full penalty
would be enforced.

Dr. Bushell, a member of the Sanitary Board of St.
Mary, Lambeth, applied for a further summons against
Mr. George Frederick Carden, the barrister, and
brother of Alderman Carden, for continuing the nui-
sance in his yard, in the vicinity of Lambeth-walk. A
previous summons had been issued against Mr. Carden,
for Thursday, but he had failed to attend.
A medical certificate having been put in, stating the
dangerous character of the nuisance to the public health,
a second summons was issued against Mr. Carden, and
the officer was directed to serve it on him as soon as
possible.

- George Quennell, a chairmaker, who has been in cus-
tody since Monday week, on a charge of kicking his
wife in so brutal a manner that she was obliged to be
taken to St. Thomas's Hospital, where her life was for
some time in danger was finally examined, and fully
committed for trial at the Old Bailey.
Richard Halkhain° a hawker of sand, who had been
examined on the day before on a charge of cutting and
wounding Mrs. Smerdon, was finally examined. The
prisoner had been remanded for the attendance of Dr.
Flower to give his evidence as to whether a wound over
the left eye had been caused by the fist merely, or some
sharp instrument.

Mr. Flower attended, and said it was possible the
wound might have been inflicted with the nail of the
thumb protruded through the fingers when the blow
was given, and upon this evidence the magistrate dealt
with the case summarily, and inflicted a penalty of 51.,
or one month, the prisoner having already been in
prison some weeks.

- John Handley, a ruffianly-looking fellow, was con-
victed in a penalty of 31., or one month. for an assault
upon the person of Jane Kelly.

SOUTHWARK.—WiIIiam Searles, a labourer, of
Eynesford, was brought before Mr. Combo, charged
with causing the death of Elizabeth M'Donald, an un-
fortunate female, by throwing her from his van, the
wheels of which passed over her, on the morning of the
27th ultimo, in the Old Kent-road.
Inspector Snead, of the M division, informed his wor-
ship that, on Tuesday morning last, a female was thrown
from a fruit-grower's van, near the canal-bridge, in the
Old Kent-road, and picked up by the police, in whose
custody she died.

On the information of a lad, named Tuck (who has
since been in custody for felony), a carman in the employ
of Mr. Booker, a fruit-grower, at Halstead, was appre-
hended on the same day, when the lad distinctly swore
that he was the party who threw the deceased from his
van, and ran over her.

He was remanded until after the inquest, which sat
on Thursday, and was adjourned until Tuesday next.
Since then witness had received information that satis-
fied him Mr. Booker's carman was not the man ; and,
on Friday, he proceeded to Halstead, and found the pri-
soner at work in Welted Farm. He (the inspector)
took the prisoner into custody, and brought him to
London.

Mr. Combe observed that the boy Tuck must have
been a great liar, as, on the last examination, he swore
positively to the other man.

Police-constable 113 P stated that, on Tuesday morn-
ing, he was on duty in the Old Kent-road, and, about
two o'clock, he saw the prisoner in a van, loaded with
fruit, and, when at the bridge, he stopped and took up
the deceased. Witness heard the prisoner say to her,
"I'll give you a ride ;" and it appeared to be in answer
to her request. Witness advised the prisoner to go on,
and have nothing to do with her.
The prisoner said it was quite right what the con-
stable had stated. He let the female get up, promisinc,
to give her a lift to the borough, when she fell off thet'
van, and he fell after her. Ile called a coffee boy and
another lad to assist him to lift her out of the mud, but
they would not.

Inspector Stead informed his worship that be should
be able to produce further evidence against the prisoner
in the course of a day or two, which would be very im-
portant.

Mr. Combo said under the circumstances he should
remand the prisoner until Tuesday, on which day the in-
quest would be resumed.

- At a late hour, six persons, carrying on business as
bone boilers, horse slaughterers, and gut manufacturers,
in Green-street, Friar-street, Southwark, a very densely
populated neighbourho,ad between the Southwark-bridge-
road and the Blackfriars-road, appeared to anwer sum-
monses obtained by the parish authorities for causing
nuisances to exist on their premises injurious to the
health of the inhabitants.

The first case taken was against Mr. Richard Trotmas,
bone boiler, 30, Green-street. He was charged with
having upon his premises a large quantity of bones in a
boiled and unboiled state, and a quantity of animal and
other matter, so as to be a nuisance to, and injurious to
the health of the inhabitants of the neighbourhood.
Mr. William Endean, one of the parish officers and
inspectors of nuisances for Southwark, produced a copy
of a notice signed by two inhabitant householders, which
be served on defendant on the 15th of September. He
had since visited his premises two or three times. The
last time was on Saturday morning. He then found a
large accumulation of bones in the yard. The dwelling-
house was in front, and there were some hundreds of
tons of bones heaped up in the yard ; some under cover
and some exposed. There was a heap as high as the
Police-court, which emitted a very offensive smell. The
place was surrounded by small tenements, crowded with
poor people, and among whom disease was spreading.
Witness went there along with Mr. Waken, the parish
surgeon, and examined the place, and he certified that
the smells proceeding from the defendant's premises were
injurious to the health of the inhabitants.
_ _

Mr. Clarkson, in a very lengthy speech, contended
that his worship had no jurisdiction in the matter, and
he must dismiss this and all. other summonses, inasmuch
as the act of Parliament gave him no right to interfere.
After an argument ou both sides, Mr. Combe said he
had no power to interfere, as nothing had been proven
to show that there was any extraordinary excess. What
defendant had had on his premises was merely what he
required in trade; therefore he must dismiss the sum-
mons.

A similar summons N% -as next heard against Mr. Curtis,
gut manufacturer, in Green-street, which was also dis-
missed.

HAMMERSMITH., Joseph. Salter, who was de-
scribed as an off-bearer in a brick-field, was brought up
on a warrant charged with having absconded from his
employment before a con tract, which he had entered into
with a man named William Sellins, the agent to Mr.
Smith, a brickmaker, to serve him during the brickmak-
ing season, had been completed.
The prisoner pleaded not guilty.
Mr. Martin, solicitor, appeared for the prosecution,
and stated that the priisoner had previously been sum-
moned for a similar offence, but, upon his promising
not to leave his work again, was forgiven, and the com-
plaint was dismissed. He continued at his work for
some days, but, on Wednesday fortnight, he again ab-
sented, and had not &mce been to the place. Such con-
duct was a great loss,. not only to the employer, but to
the gang, who were -unable to go on with their work
until another man had been found to fill his place.
Several men during the season had been punished for ab-
senting themselves fror n their work, yet it did not appear
to niPke any impress ion upon them. Such conduct
seriously affected the building trade, as the brickmakers
were unable to make so many bricks, their gangs being
frequently stopped b: , men absconding.
The prisoner, in de fence, said he was unable to go to
work in consequenco of there being no " pug" boy in
the gang.
Mr. Paynter said there did not appear to be a shadow
of an excuse for ti i• 3 prisoner ; he had not only injured
his employer, but, 'he had actually been the cause of his
fellow workmen I .osing the opportunity of makingloo,ooo
bricks, for which . they would have had upwards of 201.
Such conduct cc raid not be allowed, and he should en-
deavour to put a stop to it. He committed the prisoner
for the full term— namely, three months with hard labour.
The prisoner w ; completely taken by surprise at the
decision, and left t/ le dock crying.

lintrax.—Wq • have again had a dull market in our
piece hall, and but few worsted goods of any sort have
changed hands. 1 'he yarn trade is by no means brisk,
and prices are mu( h the same. Wool is quiet, with the
turn in favour of t,Z te buyer.
