BOW-STREET.-(TIIIS DAY.)

Lawrence Lee, descrihn.:: hirreit a cordwairier, of No.
8, Little Alay's-buildings, was charged by John Short, a to-
bacconist, under the fr7llowing circumst races.
The complainant stated that he had lately let a cigar
shop to two your.tig females named Gallent,in Mac's-build-
ings, nearly opposite to where the defendant resides, which
it appeared he took umbrage at, as he has since been ob-
served walking up and down before the door, using
epithets of the most offensive nature towards the inmates.
Last night, while two persons present sat in the shop, about
eight o'clock. smoking cigars, he again came and used
language top disgusting to be repeated, at the :strite time
calling complainant's tenants iiy mine, and making such
observations as to cause a crowd of people to tsvllect round
the door. The complainant on a former occasion was
obliged to interfere, but instead of succeeding he met Vi ith
nothing but threatenings and abusive language.

The defendant s,,i f that the inhabitants of May's-build
inns had suffered gre4t annoyance since the ladies took the
shop, as is was notli3g but a nuisance to the .entire neigh•
bourhood, in consequence of the music and gaieties whict
were ni;Lchtly carried on there.

•
Mr. TWYFORD said he would not at present call upon
him to deist from his annoying the females who kept the
shr,p, but c.di upon urn to put in bail to keep the peace
with the compla'•nant.
A powerful looking country labourer, named Thomas
Dodd, was found by 93, F' division, wandering about the
Strand yesterday evening, at four o'clock, in a state of
destitution.

In answer to questins put by the Alw.tistrate, the de-
fendant said he was a native of Chapel-ofFrith, in Derby-
shire, and had come up to town to look for his mother ; but
before he left home he had applied to his pari:•h for relief, and
the authorities sent him to brick work, breaking stones,
and the like, which he did not understand. He was
obliged to leave, as the other men used to throw mortar
and mud at him, and he thought be would come up to Lon-
don to look ftr his mother.

Mr. TWYFORD—So you come out to look for your
mother, and you must now go to blrd labour for 14 days.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
(THIS DAY.)

An old man named John Green, was charged with de-
frauding his employer, Mr. Little, of Hackney-wick, of
various trifflng sums of money, amounting to nearly 201.
tie had he'7n in the service of Mr. Little as a carter for
more than twelve months, and during the time was employed
in selling tares, for each bundle of which the prosecutor said
he received 6d., although he never aocounted to him for
more than 4d., thus he was defrauded of a considerable sum
in the ago...grate. He produced witnesses to prove that the
prisoner was in the habit of getting 6d. a bundle for them,
white the latter had others to say they never gave him or
any„person else more than 4d.

Mr. SHUTT, considering the contradictory evidence dis.
charged the prisoner.

CAUNTER'S ORIENTAL ANNUAL•

Loathe., 1836,
The Oriental Annual is one of toe best of its class, for
its pages not only teem with amusement, but are iostrue:
tive also, furnishing us with such vivid and animate
sketches of eastern life and manners as we do not often
d
meet with in books of travels. Mr. Caunter is the editor
this agreeable Annual, the illustrations to which are all frog'
designs made by the late Daniell, who was deservedly ?sle:
isrstird for the spirit and accuracy of his oriental drassurr:
These illustiations are not less than twenty-two in now'', _
varying, of course, in point of merit, but none are below the
level of mediocrity, while some are ascievetly executed as it 1s
,
pos,ilile for such things to be. " A Hindoo Maiden!

shade; the superstition which forms ths sisbject of the Pint°

The plate, which is executed with considerable ability
all its details, conveys a startling idea of the immensee

ract in the front of the picture has quite a liquid and traos'a'
parent look, and its light, feath,ry spray is pourtrsYr
with a master's hand. " Bridge over a Gully" is
