GUILDHALL-(THIS DAY.)

William Squires, who was brought up on Tuesday on sus-
picion of having been in the warehouse of Mr. Woodhouse, in
Wood-street, for the purpose of committing felony, was, this
morning, committed to the House of Correction for a month,
he not having given a satisfactory explanation of his conduct
on that occasion.

Richard Perry was charged by Elizabeth Davis, of Sea-
coal-lane, with having appropriated six shillings to his own
use instead of paying it as she directed him; and also with
having assaulted a watchman.
The complainant stated that she carries on the business of a
chimney-sweep, in which she is assisted by her two boys and
the prisoner. Yesterday she entrusted him with 6s. to pay
a debt, but he spent it, and on her following him to a public-
house, he struck her, and afterwards assaulted the watchman.

Mr. Alderman VENABLES asked the prisoner what he had
done with the money ? Perry--I have spent it ;it was my
own. The business is mine; lam well known in the neigh-
bourhood.

Alderman VENABLES—I dare say you are.—(Laughter.)
The boys earn the money, and you spend it.
Complainant—That is exactly the case. The business is
not his.

The prisoner was then ordered to find bail.

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)

A journeyman hair-dresser, out of employ, named John
Ralph, was charged by William Farmer, an errand-boy, with
breaking a number of bottles. It appeared that the com-
plainant was passing last evening through May's-buildings,
St. Martin's-lane, carrying a bag upon his shoulder, which
contained toilet bottles, and which he had orders from his
master to get silver mounted. Instead of going upon his busi-
ness, he stopped to have a peep into the window of a print-
shop, and the prisoner passing by at the time, he knocked the
bag upon the pavement, and broke to the amount of Bs.
The prisoner said it was purely accidental, and he was or-
dered to pay for the damage, or go to prison for a month.
A journeyman organ-builder and his wife complained that
they had been put to great inconvenience by their landlord; who
had locked up their room, and refused them access to it, as
they were in arrears of rent to the amount of 20a.
Mr. Mnsranum, enquired if a regular distress had been made.
The applicant said not, and he was unable to attend to his
work, as he could get no wittles.
The female applicant assured his Worship that she had not
a rag to put on ; and what she considered very cruel, the cat
was locked up, and would in all probability die of hunger,
unless the hard-hearted landlord was compelled to let her out.
Mr. MINSICULL observed, that in addition to locking the
applicants out, the landlord was exercising cruelty to a dumb
animal.

Mr. BArnaby said the cat was not treated with cruelty, as
it was only locked up in the room.
Mr. Mt NSHULL—And do you call being locked up to starve no
cruelty ? lam of opinion, that no punishment could be inflicted
upon any animal, even upon a cat, equal to starvation. The
landlord must come and give a satisfactory account of his treat-
ment to the cat.

The applicants went away, and in a few minutes returned,
bringing word that the landlord desired his Worship to go
and be d—d.

Mr. MiNsrwm, instantly ordered a warrant to be issued, and
on the parties again making their appearance, they behaved
in such a boisterous manner, the male applicant demanding
his wittles, and the female insisting on having her torn cit re-
stored to her, the case was obliged to be dismissed.
