MARYLEBONE.

A very genteelly-dresacd young man, named Henry Otter,
was fildvuti at the bar, charged with having embezzled
money belonging 1 his employer, Mr. John Lirnbirt, a
grocer, tea-dealer, &c., at 22, Tottenham Court-road, to
the amount of upwards of 1001,
The prisoner, who said nothing in his defence, was fully
committed for trial.

WORSHIP- STREET.
Yesterday Benjamin Bowen, a youth sixteen years of
age, was placed at the bar before Mr. LAURIE, jun.,
charged with attempting the life of Catherine Hawes,
aged seventeen.
The prisoner as remanded for a week.
The pun woman'.; father is a master-weaver, in a re-
spectable way of business.

UNION-HALL.
Yesterday Mr. John Atkinson, one of the goveri:ors of
the Yorkshire School, was charged with sending letters to
Mr. Charles Bischoff, one of the committee of the above
institution, calculated to excite him to the commission of a
breach of the peace.
The complainant stated that on Thursday last the de-
fendant called at the school in the Westminster-road, and
having gone into the kitchen remained there for some time,
when complainant seeing him there, asked him what he
wanted in that place ? The defendant, however, instead
of answering the question, became exceedingly abusive,
upon which the complainant told him that if he had
any business or communication to make, if he9sent his
card up to the committee, his application would be attended
to. This, however, did not appease the feelings of the defen-
dant, who still continued his abuse, and ultimately quitted
the kitchen. The complainant added that his motive in
questioning Mr, Atkinson, as to what he was doing in the
kitchen, was in consequence of that gentleman having been
there previously, and conducted himself in an improper man-
ner to the annoyance of the persons in care of the house.
Shortly after the defendant left the kitchen he sent a note,
of which the following is a copy, to Mr. Mschoff. The note
was read by the Magistrate :
" Thursday afternoon, 21st July, Quarter to One o'Clock.
" Sir—The unprovoked and shameful insolence of your be-
haviour towards me in the school-house of the Yorkshire So-
ciety just now, demands from me on the instant the assurance
that, as I compassionate your weakness, so shall I try to cure
you of such an uncharitable infirmity. Two points are clearly
established—your ignorance of yourself and your ignorance o
me. Mark my words. I shall ere long correct one of these
but shall give myself exceeding small trouble about the other,
uncaring for the consequences.—ln nowise your inferior,
subscribe myself, as in duty bound, your sincere and wakeful

"JOHN ATKINSON."
The complainant stated, that of course he sent no reply
to the above note, and that on the following Monday he
received the following letter :

" 29, Great Charles-street, July 25, 183 g.
" Right Valiant Sir—l have the honour of acknowledging
your very kind invitation to Union-Hall per Wednesday at
12 o'clock, and doubt not enjoyment of your truly Christian
and generous hospitality, which seems to me to eclipse even
that of the Knights Hospitallons of St. John of Jerusalem--
but my sight is not perfect. Your friend of the cloven foot is
exhibiting your old heraldic coat to admiring thousands. In
passing through the Royal Exchange to-day I saw it, and was
exceeding pleased with the fitness. Pardon this, but a mem-
ber by incorporation of the Merchant Tailors' Company I am
occasionally on the shopboard. Matchless impudence and
rank cowardice are befitting supporters—a lie upon oath is an
excellent crest—and beware of the devil a motto in capital
keeping. It may not, however, my heroic one, be amiss to
caution your chivalric insanity against the dirty trick of shaking
your wet inexpressibles before a kitchen fire, not of your
kindling, in the presence of honourable women. Pray you
avoid this lest you catch your deserts. We shall meet, if not
at Philippi, in some other pleasant quarter ere Shrewsbury
clock has struck the hour of summons, and I impatiently wait
the delight of looking once again upon your lovely house-com-
mittee countenance.—Addio. From your most humble, most
obedient, and most devoted servant,

" JOHN ATKINSON.
" P. S. Neither frank nor any direction.
The MAGISTRATE asked the defendant what he had to
say in' answer to the charge of sending these letters to Mr.
Bischoff? The defendant, who was exceedingly excited in
his manner and action, said that he was one of the Gover-
nors of the Yorkshire School, and having had business to do
there relative to an election about to take place, he went
there, and, havinc, got wet, he descended into the kitchen
for the purpose of drying his clothes ; that he had not been
long there before Mr. Bischoff entered the place, and
rudely desired him to withdraw ; that he (defendant) being
connected with the school, and having business with the
Secretary, admitted that he felt indignant at the manner in
which he was treated, and might have used hasty lan-
guage ; but the insult was of that description that he could
not overlook it.

The defendant was ordered to find two sureties of 201.
each to keep the peace towards the complainant.

LAMBETH.STREET.
Yesterday a woman named Charlotte Maskell was
brought before Mr. HARDWICK and two county Magis-
trates, for further examination, on a charge of robbing her
master, Captain Davidson, of Harbour square, Stepney,
of plate, jewellery, and other property, to a considerable
amount.

The prisoner, who had declined saying anything in de-
fence, was remanded, in order to give time to the officer to
trace the plate, as well as for the attendance of Miss Da-
vidson, who is at present in the country, to identify the
jewellery found in the prisoner's possession.
