POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.
A DISTRESSINU, CASE.—Yesterday, a young lad
aged 15, named John Jeffries, was charged with
stealing five herrings under the following circum-
stances :
George Ham, 275, said the prisoner was given into
his custody, but the prosecutor, on learning the cir-
cumstances of the family, said he could not come for-
ward in such a distressing case, and therefore, with
the Alderman's permission, the boy might keep the
herrings.
Sir G. CARROLL asked the officer if he had made
inquiries respecting the case ? Ham replied that he
had, and had ascertained that the father and the pri-
soner were employed at Lloyd's printing-office, but
during the late epidemic the husband and one daughter
were attacked, and both died, leaving the prisoner's
mother a widow with a large family to support, and
no means of doing so; for, to aid to her difficulties,
she was confined on Sunday, and they were all at the
present moment in the greatest distress. It was from
these circumstances that the prosecutor refused to
appear.
Sir G. CARROLL asked where they resided ? Ham
replied at 21, Harp-alley, Farringdon-street.
Sir G. CARROLL wished to know if they received
any relief ? Ham said they were in receipt of 3s. 6d.
per week and three loaves from the parish of St.
Bride's, but that was not sufficent to keep four chil-
dren younger than the prisoner, one a little older, and
the mother.
Sir G. CARROLL asked if the prisoner was still in
employ ? Hem said that his mother informed him
that he was discharged from Lloyd's about a fortnight
ago because he was late one morning.
Sir G. CARROLL said he thought it a case deserving
the sympathy of the public, and also one that ought
to be attended to by those societies who were re-
ceiving such large sums for the relief of the sufferers
by the cholera. He considered 3s. Gd. a week and
three loaves quite inadequate to support seven per-
sons, more particularly when the state of the mother
was considered. He had no doubt, when the case
was made public, sympathy would be shown for the
widow under such circumstances.
Sir G. CARROLL then cautioned the boy against
being guilty of the crime of theft again, and dis-
charged him.
Ilam asked if he was to give the lad the herrings ?
Sir G. CARROLL said most certainly, us it was the
wish of the prosecutor, who had acted most humanely;
and he ordered the officer to take ss. to the poor
creature for her present relief, and likewise directed
that she should have ss. more next week.
LAMBETH.
Tau ATTEMPTED MURDER IN DULWICH WOOD.—
Messrs. Wainreft and Hill, respectable tradesmen in
Whitechapel, waited on Mr. N orton, and presented
him with a Si. note, the subscription of the gentlemen
frequenting the following inns, viz. :—Mr. Hill's, the
Grove Mansion, Whited-lapel road, 2/ 43.; Mr Gil-
man's, the Angel, High street, Whitechapel, 11. 95.;
and Mr. Sear's, Keys, Commercial-road East, 1/. 75.,
for the use of the young woman Ewins. Mr. Norton
also received ss. from Mr. Rea, Montpelier-row,
Blackheath, for Ewins ; and Si. from " A. II.," a
Chankoffering ; and two sovereigns from " M. B."
CLERKEN (YELL.
Mr. Thomas Maurice Harvey, of the Old Red
Lien, St. John's-street-road, Clerkenwell, appeared
to a summons, at the instance of the police of the G
division, charged with having kept his house open for
the sale of liquors, &c., on Sunday last, not being for
the refreshment and accommodation of travellers,
The case excited considerable interest, and numerous
licensed victuallers were in court.
Mr. Hobler attended fur the defence.
Inspector Hardy, G, said that, at twenty minutes
past twelve o'clock on last Sunday forenoon, he entered
the house of the defendant with another officer, and
in a back room he found three men, and a pint pewter
pot was on a table, containing malt liquor. He said
to Mr. Hirvey, "I have cautioned you before?' He
said, "They are drovers." The men said they were
so, and they had come from Newport, South Mimms,
andi Leicestershire, with cattle. Witness told them
they were not allowed to drive cattle on Sunday, and
they could not be viewed as travellers in the eye of
the law.
Mr. Hobler did not question. the witness, but
he hoped he should convince the court that his client
had done no wrong. Drovers were in the habit of
bringing their cattle from various and distant parts
of the country to Islington, and on Satufday nights
and Sunday they were egally accommodated by
licensed victuallers until they could return to their
own homes. He (Mr. Hobler) did not mean to deny
that the parties were in his client's house, but to meet
the charge fairly on its merits. A Mr. Terry, from
Newport, and Mr. Underwood, from Leicestershire,
had brought up cattle to London, and deposited them
in the neighbourhood of his client's house, and they
were in value upwards of 3,000/.; they applied for res
freshment at Mr. Harvey's, and were admitted.
They had not been there many minutes when the
officers entered. Under these circumstances, he con-
tended that they ought to be viewed as travellers,
such as were recognised within the meaning of the
Act of Parliament.
Mr. TYRWDITT—Perhaps, you are not aware that
the local Act of Islington snakes it illegal to drive
cattle through the streets. &c., on Sunday ? Mr.
Hobler—Mr. Harvey's house is in Clerkenwell.
Mr. TYRWHITT—You must distinctly prove that
they were' travellers.
Mr. William Underwood, of Leicestershire, was
sworn—He was nephew to Mr. Underwood, one of
the travellers alluded to. Went to meet his uncle et
the defendant's house on Sunday last, at a quarter
to twelve o'clock. Saw him and Mr. Terry
there, quite fatigued and muddy. They came from
the country every week with their cattle. They had
a pint of half-and-half.
Inspector Hardy—They had all the appearance of
being travellers.
Witness—They always go to defendant's house
when they come to London. They had only been
in the house a quarter of an hour when the officers
came.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Nov. 22.
(Before Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, Assistant Judge.)
AssAtThT AND ALLEGED CRIM. CON.—Mr. Stephen
Bailey, a publican in Newgate Market, surrendered to
take his trial upon an indictment, charged with having

assaulted Joshua Stopford.
Mr. Hurry appeared for the prosecution, Mr. Bal
lantine for the defendant.

Mr. LIORRY briefly opened the case to the jury,
and suggested that it was a case which might very
properly have been settled out of court, and if that
course were taken the feelings of all parties would be

spared.
Mr. BALLANTINE said the defendant rejected the
suggestion with the utmost possible scorn.
The prosecutor wat then examined. lie stated that
his name was Joshua Stopford, and that he was secre-
tary to the Artesian Water Company, residing at 46,
St. John-street, Clerken well, and occupying offices in
Southampton-buildings. On the 14th of the present
month he had occasion to go to Richmond, and whilst
there he met, by the purest accident, Mrs. Willey,
the wife of the defendant. They returned to town
together by the South-Western Railway, and on
leaving Waterloo station he accompained Mrs. Bailey
over Waterloo-bridge to the end of Lancaster-place,
where she proposed to take an omnibus to proceed
towards Regent's-park. He would have proceeded to
his own home after he had left her, but they found
that it would be some minutes before an omnibus
going to the required destination came up, so they
walked slowly up and down Lancaster-place, and
whilst so doing the defendant rushed up and struck
him a tremendous blow with a brass headed stick.
For the minute, such was the effect of the blow, he
was completely blinded, and when he had recovered
sufficiently to look round, the defendant was tearing
his wife's bonnet from her head and her clothes from
her back. The defendant then said " You - I
have caught you at last, have II" and again struck
him. His face was bleeding, and on a policeman
running up he gave the defendant into custody. The
defendant threatened to murder his wife.

Cross-examined—This took place on the day before

the thanksgiving day. Mrs. Bailey is now living in
the house of Mr. Wooller, a friend of mine, No. 10,
Carburton-street, Fitzroy-square. I took her there
and introduced her to Mr. Wooller five weeks ago
last Monday. Of tour e that was before I met her
at Richmond. I have never slept at Mr. Wooller's
house. I have visited Mrs. Bailey there. I saw her
there on the Sunday before the transaction, and I took
her and Mrs. Wooller to church. Wooller is not my
attorney in this prosecution. I drew up the brief
myself. I went to Richmond for the purpose of dis-
charging an obligation I thought I was under. It was
to pay for the maintenance of Mrs. Bailey's child,
which was with a person named Foster. Mrs. Bailey
had no name for it, and I told her to send the child
where she liked, and I would pay for its maintenance.
She sent it to Foster's, and it was there I met Mrs.
Bailey. I did not meet her by arrangement. I was
in the habit of frequenting Mr. Bailey's house, and
have eaten and drank there many times. I never went
after Mrs. Bailey left. Mr. Bailey turnei her out on the
17th of September. It was on my account. I never
made love to her when I visited the house.
The JUDGE—Do you swear, then, that there never
was any improper intimacy between you and Mrs.
Bailey ? Witness—l do. On the 17th of December
the defendant said I had seduced his wife, and he
struck me- on the face with a life preserver, and I bled
profusely. Had my head been in a more inclined
position, he would have killed me on the spot. He
turned his wife out of doors that night. I did not
charge the defendant with an assault then. Mrs.
Bailey then went to live at her sister's, but she was
too poor to keep her, and as she had been turned out
of her house on my account, I thought
I was bound to provide her with lodgings.
I suppose Mr. Wooller will compel Mr. Bailey
to pay the expenses.— (Laughter.) I may have had
some very jocular conversation with her. I may have
kissed her. I kissed her about six months ago. She
' was too virtuous a woman to allow any person to take
liberties with her. It was a liberty to kiss her, no
doubt, but I " snatched " it unawares.—(Loud
laughter.) It was stated before the magistrate that
I and Mrs. Bailey went to a coffee-house by the
Waterloo-road. I did not recollect whether we did
or not until I asked Mrs. Bailey. We did. I cannot
tell precisely where the coffee-house was. She wanted
some refreshment, and I took her there. She had
some coffee. We were there ten minutes. I don't
know whether it was a brothel or not. I could not
find it again if I tried.
Re-examined—My only reason for providing her
with lodgings was that she was destitute.
By the COURT—I don't know where Mrs. Bailey's
' sister lived. She sent me a message, and I met her
in St. John-street. A boy used to carry messages
between us. I sent a note to tell her that she could
go to Mr. Wooller's.
The JUDGE—How did you direct that note ?
Witness—l didn't direct it all. Yes I did though—
I forgot. I directed it Mrs. Bailey.
The JUDGE—Where at? Witness—Oh, nowhere.
—(Laughter.) The child was sent to Richmond by
my direction. I swear that after she left her hus-
band's I did not know where she lived. I took a
great interest in her, because I presumed I was the
cause of her troubles. lam paying 63. a week for the
child. Mrs. Bailey was very much attached to the
child, and I desired it to be sent to Richmond, so
that it might not be taken from her by the defendant.
When at Richmond Mrs. Bailey had a return ticket.
I had not. I did not go for the purpose of sleeping
there.
A police-constable proved having witnessed the
transaction.
The Learned JUDGE said he was reminded of the
very best speech ever made by a well-known Judge.
When on circuit ha said in an assault case, " Gentle-
men of the jury, the case for the prosecution is that
my client gave the prosecutor a good thrashing. My,
case is that he very richly deserved it." The circum-
stances of this case brought that speech strongly to his

~660

mind.
Mr. BALLANTINE then addressed the jury. He
said he had a very few observations to make, but
there were in this case matters of too serious a nature
to be lightly passed over. The defendant was a
highly respectable man, and had lived fourteen or
fifteen years in the house he at present occupied, and
up to the period when the prosecutor commenced his
visits he had a good and devoted wife, who had borne
him several children, two of whom only were now
living, but she had been debauched by this men, who
had robbed the defendant of every domestic comfort
he possessed—who had robbed him of his children,
and who now added to his former villany the infamy
of perjury, for he had deliberately and distinctly
sworn that no criminal intercourse had taken place
between him and the defendant's wife.
Mr. Hoamar said, that if Mr. Ballantine went into
C:ese details without proof, he should claim a reply.
The Learned JUDGE said that all Mr. Ballantine
could say could not alter the question as to the assault.
What Mr. Ballantine said about provocation would
be addressed to the Court, and not to the jury. It was
not possible, consistently, for the defendant to
declared not guilty.
Mr. BALLANTINE then proceeded, and commented
with great severity on the proposition made by the
prosecutor, through his counsel, to settle the matter
out of court, "%Well circumstance showed, he said,

Mr. TIEwIIITT remarked that every case must
stand on its own merits. The parties evidently came
from the country to London in their vocation as
drovers and travellers ' • besides, they had all the ap-
pearance of what they described themselves to be, and
that wls what the public had to look at. It would
appear that they were fatigued, and did not luok like
dirty slovenly fellows. Some discrimination, however,
was to be observed. Under all the circumstances, he
should dismiss the defendant from that court without
the least imputation upon him.
Mr. Hobler and Mr. Harvey thanked his Worship;
Mr. Hobler saying that sometimes a dozen such per-
sons, travellers, were in Mr. Harvey's house.
Thi decision gave general satisfaction ; and it is but
justice to add that the inspector (Hardy) was highly
complimented for the fair and impartial manner in
which he gave his evilence.

GLASGOW, Nov. 21.—The arrivals from Ireland have

of about 7,547 barrels of flour, and a moderate quantity
of wheat, barley, and Indian corn. At Grangemouth,
about 2,327 quarters of wheat, 1,324 quarters of barley,
and 34 quarters. of beans were reported from the conti-
nent. Trade ruled quiet throughout the week, and
prices inclined in favour of the buyer. This day's mar-
ket was thinly attended. Choice samples of wheat were
held at late rates, but the business done was in retail;
whilst for secondary and stale descriptions an abatement
of 61 per 2401 b would have been submitted to. The best
brands of approved flour realized last week's currency;
secondary kinds were 6d to is cheaper per barrel and
sack respectively. Making barley was a fair sale, with-
out change in value. Oats and oatmeal met a moderate
demand, at a slight decline. Beans unaltered. In peas
little passing.
