GUILD HALL

Yesterday an elderly man, named George Davis, was
brought before Sir CHAPMAN MARSHALL, 'charged with
having entered the servants' room at the Old Bell, Hol-
born, and got into one of the beds, without the leave or
knowledge of any peison.
Mr. Bunyear, the landlord, said that about twelve
o'clock, the preceding night, upon the maids going up to
bed, they were astonished by finding the prisoner lying in
one of their beds.
Sir CHAPMAN asked if they discovered the intruder be-
fore they got into bed? Mr. Bunyear understood that
they did.
Sir C. CHAPMAN asked if the prisoner was undressed ?
Mr. Bunyear said yes, and he found him so when the
alarm brought him to that part of the building. He called
in the watchman, and finding that the same man had been
discovered tucked up in bed in the same way at Mr.
Booker's, the 'White Hart, Fetter-lane, and also at a wi-
dows in the same neighbourhood, he thought it was time
he should be taken before a Magistrate. He had selected
a particular bed, and removed a gown, bonnet, and cap,
which had been thrown on it, that he might lie comfortably.
Sir CHAPMAN supposed the girls raised a great outcry
on seeing him.
Mr. Bunyear said some were perplexed by the incident ;
but the cook, without hesitation, stripped all the .bed-
clothes down, and instantly bundled hirn and all his wear-
ables out of the room. If he had been discovered by
them a few minutes earlier, while the stable-men were in
the yard, the servants would have punished his intrusive-
ness by delivering him naked to- the men, to be well-
soused in the horse-pond.
The Clerk said if he were given to these tricks, he
would some day fall into the hands of a more relentless
cook, who would give him a good basting.
Sir CHAPMAN asked the prisoner what answer he had to
make to the charge ?
Prisoner was in the bed precisely as the landlord had
stated. He was not in liquor, and he could make no ex-
cuse for his conduct, except by saying that it was a foolish
act, for which he was profoundly sorry.
Sir CHAPMAN MARSHALL Could not discharge him with-
out security for his future good conduct. Suppose ho had
strayed into the bed-chamber of a pregnant lady. He
must be prevented from repeating these adventures, for his
own sake.
The prisoner, in spite of reiterated treaties to be dis-
charged, was remanded till Friday.

QUER* S Q UA RE.
An athletic, ill-looking man, named Ed ward Agers, well
known to the police of this district, was charged before Mr.
GREGORIE with concealing himself upon the premises of
Mr. Parker, wine and spirit merchant, Nag's Head, Tothill-
street, Westminster, for the purpose of committing felony,
and also with an assault upon police constable Carter, 121
B, upon being taken into custody.
About half-past twelve o'clock at night, the prisoner was
discovered by one of the barnien crouched up in the coal-
cellar. 'Upon approaching hiin he knocked him down, and
would no doubt have effected his escape, had not Mr. Parker
come to the spot and detained him.
The prisoner made a very irrelevant defence, and endea-
voured to impose upon the Magistrate by representing that
his intellects were affected.
Mr. GREGORIE committed him as a rogue and vagabond
to hard labour for three calender months.
Yesterday morning the notorious Ann 111'itrffiv, who has
for a length of time been the terror of the publez.ms and
other tradesmen in Westminster, and who was only liberated
from Tothill-fields prison on Monday, was again brought
before Mr. WHITE, charged by police-constable Poole, No.
143 B, with drunken and disorderly conduct in Orchard-
street, Westminster, at the hour of four in the morning.
Her Ladyship, when taken into custody by Poole, re-
fused to walk, and she was in consequence conveyed to the
station-house upon " the stretcher" by four policemen.
At eleven o'clock she was carried on the same machine
from the station-house to this office, and placed on the
ground before the 'Magistrate. Her conduct was most
violent, and her language to the Magistrate disgusting, and
had she not have been strapped to the stretcher, she would
as usual have committed many assaults.
Inspector Forbes said that while in confinement at the
police station, her conduct was of a similar description,
and it was found quite impossible to keep her tongue quiet.
Mr. WHITE—What have you to say upon this occasion ?
Ann—You be —. What the —is that to you ?
Mr. WHITE—WeII, I shall send you to your old
quarters for a month. Ann—Then you, you old —, may
take me, for I'm if I walk.
Mr. WHITE ordered that she should not be released
from her present position, in case she should commit further
violence, until she was lodged in the Westminster Bridewell.
Smith, an officer of Queen-square, with Cain, the gaoler,
and two policemen, then, by the direction of the magistrate,
proceeded to carry her upon the stretcher to her plaee of
destination, and in less than half an hour she was' lodged
in safe custody.
