NEW COURT.

A LOTUARIO.-Thomas Anderson, aged thirty-eight, was
indicted for stealing fifty sovereigns, the pr:Torty of Rebecca
Kenyon.
The proseewrix sated that she resided at No. 37, Sout!l
Molton-street. She had known the prisoaer for nine cr tea

months, and on the 6th of June, when the robbery was com-
mitted, she was about to be married to him. They met by
anpointm, nt f,r poling, of froiog out to rurehas,. frrnt-
t/arn,
a:d she nns%,erea tli t sne had twenty sovereigns and 30/• in
notes. The prisoner then suggested that it would be better
to change the notes for sovereigns, and they went to the Bank
for that purpose, and obtained gold. Soon afterwards the
prisoner got the 501. in his possession, and slipped away from
her, and she did not see him again till he was taken into
custody.
The COMMON SERGEANT thought the prosecutrix should
have made some inquiry regarding the prisoner before she eon-
s nitNl to marry him.
The Prosecutrix was sorry to say that she relied too much
upon his respectable appearance and plausible tales.
Prisoner—lt's all very true that the prosecutrix has said;
but she had been acquainted with me ten months, and she
knows very well she gave me the money.
COMMON SERGEANT—WeII, but where is it now—that's the
question?
Prisoner—l'll explain, my Lord. She wanted very much
to get married to me as soon as possible, but I was in no
hurry—
Prosecutrix—That's not true. He got me out of my

situation.
Prisoner—The family were going to the Continent, and
she gave notice, my Lord, and left of her own accord.
COMMON SERGEANT—Yes, to marry you. Why did you
steal the money ? Prisoner (pretending to be surprised at the
question—Stole it Why, my Lord, she consented to wait
awhile before we got married, and gave me the money to take
care of.—( Laughter.)
The Jury, without hesitation, returned a verdict of Guilty,
The COMMON SERGEANT—Now let us see the other woman'
whom the prisoner is said to have got 1701. from.
Elizabeth Potts got into the box, and stated that the prfr
sonar had induced her to leave her place to be married to him,
when he got 1701. from her in a similar way to that mentioned
by Rebecca Kenyon.
The Learned JoDGE desired the prisoner to be called up
for judgment, and observed that he was the most infamous
fellow he had ever tried. The sentence of the Court was'
that he be transported beyond the seas for the term of seven
years.
'"`,Mr. PHILLIPS made an application to the Court to allow 1
prisoner, who had pleaded guilty, to be confined in Newgate
instead of the House of Correction.
The order was accordingly made.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

MANSION-HO USE.

Mr. Waddell, of the house of Waddell and Co., ship"
brokers, attended at the Justice-room in consequence of a
representation which was made to the LORD MAYOR, by a wan
of the name of Allen and his wife, who were a short time agl
about to emigrate to South Australia, but were disappointeu
on account of the illness of their child, and subjected to serial°
pecuniary loss in consequence of the circumstances attending'
that disappointment.
The case of Allen and his wife, as well as our Reporter W 53
able to collect from their exceedingly rambling and irregular
statement, was as follows :
fa consequence of the favourable prospects held out to
emigrants to South Australia, Allen, who was a shoemaker
at Portsmouth, determined to take out his wife and infant
child to that Colony. The Emigration Commissioners CO"
sented to give a free passage to his sister, who was qualified to
assist him in his trade ; and having made the necessary prepa;
rations and paid 351. passage-money to Messrs. Waddell an
Co., who chartered the ship Rajasthan for the voyage, sent A
considerable quantity of their goods, which consisted of slieFt
leather, clothes, &c., on board. The vessel was filled with
men, women, and children ; and tho- surgeon discovered that
Allen's child was affected with the hooping-cough, on which
account an order was given that the mother and child should
quit her immediately. At Gravesend Allen, who did not like
to be separated from his wife and child, proposed to give uP
his own and his wife's places upon repayment of the passage
money, but the proposition was rejected, and the vessel pro-
ceeded to Plymouth, from whence it was to sail direct for its
destination. At Plymnuth his efforts to get back the passage
money having proved abortive, he and his sister who had
on board after his wife and child had been obliged to quit the
ship, came ashore, and the vessel sailed with the greater Part
of his goods, leaving him and his family in a most deplorable
condition. His sister at the same time had the mortification t°
lose her free passage, for she could not think of going to a
dis-
tant and strange country without something like protection.
Mr. Waddell declared that a great part of the inconvenience
to which Allen had been subjected, had arisen from the wan:
own obstinacy and ill-conduct; and Mr. W. then made
statement in corroboration of his assertion. After a good dl
of assertion and contradiction on both sides, Mr. NIT*
said, " I will most readily pay for Mrs. Allen, and I shall us
all my influence to get a free passage for the sister, who viii
probably be desirous of going out."
The LORD MAYOR. —Very well. That is an excellent b!-
ginning. I would now recommend Allen to write to the Ea*.
gration Commissioners a brief statement of his ease, and a
quest for a free passage, and I think that the solicitation will
not be unavailing. Mr. Waddell, lam bound to say, has came
to a very humane determination, and I am persuaded that $°
praiseworthy example will be followed.

HAT7'ON-GARDEN.
A DESPERATE RUFFIAN. —A most determined looking fel-
low, named Horn, was charged with the following outtlige"s
conduct:—
