MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

(Before Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, Assistant Judge, and
a Bench of Magistrates.)
THE CASINOS.

Yesterday morning the grand jury brought in true
hills against James Ellis, Henry Laurent, John
Adams, and James Thompson, for illegally allowing
music and dancing at the Adelaide Gallery, in the
Lowther Bazaar, not being licensed ; against the
proprietor of the National Hall, in Holborn, for the
same offence ; and against William Clements, for the
like offence, at a certain room in Theobald's-road.

The informations were laid by Thomas Stowell, of
No. 11, Church-street, Trinity-square, Southwark,
who stated that he was employed by a society of per-
sons who had had a license for music and dancing
granted to them by the magistrates.
A true bill has also been found against the Wal-
halla Rooms, in Leicester-square.
The bill which was preferred against the Rev.
Henry Charles Sellers, charging him " with unlaw-
fully and indecently assaulting Samuel Cooper, a
soldier," was ignored.
W. Smart was indicted for having stolen a quantity
of furniture, the property of a person of the name of
Groves.

Mr. Payne appeared for the defendant.
It appeared from the statement of the prosecutor
that the prisoner had taken a lodging in his house
about four months since, but he had left in con-
sequence of some unpleasant words having passed
between them. A fortnight ago he went out in the
morning as usual, leaving his wife and four children
at home, and on his return was much astonished at
finding that his wife and one of his children had gone
off, and that the whole of his furniture had been
removed. In the course of a day or two he ascer-
tained that his wife was living with the prisoner at
No. 5, Duke-street, and upon going there he dis-
covered that not only had his wife gone there, but
that the place was fitted up with his furniture. 0 n
his arrival he was informed that his wife had left ;
but, by further inquiries, he learned that they had
just taken up their abode at a house in Tabernacle-
walk. Thither he went about ten o'clock at night.
He found his wife in a bedroom, and she denied that
the prisoner was with her. He however, searched
the room, when he discovered him concealed under
the bed. By the advice of his brother he gave the
man into custody.
Cross-examined—He had been married nine years,
but his wife and himself had not lived happily to-
gether; so much so, that they hadilived apart on
several occasions.
The Learned JUDGE intimated that the course
which'the Learned Counsel was pursuing in his cross-
examination was not at all necessary for the purposes
of the present inquiry. The question was, whether
the prisoner had committed the felony with which he
was charged.
Mr. PAYNE said that upon that point he had a good
answer in law; but, as the crime of adultery had been
imputed to the prisoner, he had felt it to be his duty
to attempt to release him from that imputation.
There was not any adultery, but the truth was that
the story had been got up because the prosecutor
wanted to rid himself of the liability of supporting
his wife.
The Learned JUDGE said, that as to the charge of
adultery,
arrive at when a man's wife having run away was
such a supposition was not very difficult to
found living in a bedroom with another man, and
was found there as late as ten o'clock at night,
especially when, the wife having denied that her
paramour was there, he was discovered secreted under
the bed. In his opinion there could not be much
doubt as to the truth of the imputation.
After some further cross-examination,
The Learned JUDGE told the jury that the charge
of felony against the prisoner could not be sustained
upon the evidence which had been brought forward,
for doubtless the furniture had been removed with
the consent, and in all probability by the direction of
the wife.
The jury therefore Acquitted the prisoner.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.

Frederick Jaques, the young man who was charged
with intent to commit suicide, was again placed at
the bar before Alderman HooP".
A gentleman stepped up and informed the Alder-
man that he had visited the lodging of the prisoner,
which exhibited great cleanliness, and was certainly
a great credit to his wife.
The Chief Clerk said that the landlord had called.
and denied pressing fur his rent, as had been repre-
sented.

Alderman HOOPER asked the prisoner if he wished
;o say anything in answer to so serious a charge as
;hat of attempting to destroy himself.
Jaques replied, that he had nothing to say but that

he was exceedingly sorry for having contemplated
such an act, and the worthy Alderman might rest
assured that such a thing should not occur again.
Alderman HOOPER called the wife forward and
asked her what rent she owed in her present lodg-
ings ? She replied that the first week was due on
Tuesday last, and that she had been enabled to pay
2s. 6d., leaving ls. owing.

The Chief Clerk informed the Alderman that a
person named Toplis, a grocer in Powis -street, Wool•
wich, had left his card, desiring that if the prisoner
was discharged he should call upon him.
Alderman HOOPER was glad to say that he had
received a very favourable account of him, both from
the chaplain and surgeon of the Compter, and, there-
fore, on receiving his promise not to offend again, he
should discharge him.
Since he was last at this court some benevolent
individual had forwarded 1/. towards his relief;
which would be given to his wife for paying their
rent, &c.

The prisoner, who was deeply- affected, gave the
required protnise,aod was accordingly discharged.

BO W-STREA'T.

Thomas Waller, an elderly gentleman, was brought
before Mr. Henry, by warrant, charged with having
written and published certain false, malicious, and
scandalous libels of and concerning John Edward
Buller, of the firm of Smart and Buller, solicitors, of
65, Lincoln's Inn-fields.

114 r. Rymer stated that the prisoner was formerly
possessed of considerable property, and for many
years prior to 1840 the prosecutor, Mr. Buller, acted
as his solicitor. Owing to speculations in buildings
or otherwise, his property was sunk or mortgaged,
and at the present time Mr. Waller had none what-
ever—although Mr. Buller, from having known him
so long under more favouraule circumstances, had very
chari.ably allowed him a small sum to live upon
(12s. a week). In 1840, when Mr. Buller ceased to
be the prisoner's attorney, there was some dispute
between them respecting accounts, and the
matter was referred for arbitration to Mr. Gattie,
then one of the Clerks in Chancery ; the result
of a minute investigation into the whole particulars
being that there was a balance due from the prisoner
to Mr. Buller of about 1,3001., which remained un-
paid till the present day. Shortly afterwards the
prisoner went through the Insolvent Court, and very
close upon this occurrence he became a bankrupt.
From this period the prisoner, although dependent
upon Mr. Buller's charity for his means of support,
had never ceased to annoy him in every possible way,
imputing to him acts of dishonesty, injustice, and even
felony ; and latterly his language had assumed such a
violent and threatening character that Mr. Buller
went in danger of his life, and was, therefore, com-
pelled to take the present proceedings. He was sure
it was quite unnecessery to add that there was not
the slightest foundation in fact for any of the libellous
charges preferred against Mr. Buller by the prisoner,
whose conduct towards that gentleman was as disre-
putable as it was unjust.
A letter, addressed by the prisoner from " Soho
Chambers" to Mr. Buller, at his country residence,
Chase-house, Enfield, and dated the 12th of January,
and another addressed by him to his brother-in-law,
Mr. C. Smith, of the firm of Daniel Smith and Son,
auctioneers ; together with a printed placard which
had been enclosed in each, were then put in and read.
The letters referred to the alleged injuries sustained
by Waller at the hands of Mr. Buller, and threatened
the latter gentleman with immediate exposure of the
placards in all the courts of Westminster, the Chan-
cery Courts, clubs, &c., if some redress were not af-
forded him. It was also stated that copies would be
or had been sent to Lord Denman and Lord
Brougham, the latter of whom was partially ac-
quainted with the particulars of the case.
The prisoner said he would not put the parties to
any trouble as regarded the author of the libels, for
he readily admitted the fact. He had no notion, how-
ever, that the magistrate had jurisdiction in such
cases. His object had been to induce Mr. Buller to
put him to the proof before one of the superior courts.
He was taken at six o'clock on Tuesday night and
had been kept in custody from that time, or he should
have had a professional gentleman present to consult
with. At any rate, he hoped and presumed the ma-
gistrate would not dispose of the case summarily.
Mr. HENRY' explained that the offence imputed to
him was an indictable one, and all that he had to do
in the matter was to send the case to the Old Bailey
Sessions.

lhe prisoner said that would answer his purpose
equally well.

Mr. Buller, the prosecutor, proved that the letters
addressed to him and to Mr. Smith, and containing
the placards referred to, were in the prisoner's hand-
writing.

On being asked if he had any defence to offer, and
at the same time cautioned in the usual way,
The prisoner said—ln 1827, Mr. Buller, upon the
recommendation of Mr. C. Smith, my brother-in-law,
became my solicitor, and received from me, between
that date and the year 1830, sums of money amount-
ing in all to 15,0001., for which he has never ac-
counted. Between 1830 and 1839 he received a
further sum of 10,0001., and no account of that
sum either was rendered, until I applied to Mr.
Justice Gazelee, and obtained an order to compel
the producti'n of an account. During the inter-
val Mr. Buller allowed all my furniture and library
to he sold by auction in my absence, and by a
bill of sale; having at that very time, according to
his own admission, 3,0001. of my money in his hands.
From 1839 till the present year, 1849, Mr. Buller
has received every shilling of my income of 1,200/.
or 1,4001. per annum, rendering no account of it to
any one. True, I have been unfortunate ; I have
creditors ; but Mr. Buller is not my only creditor.
He says my property is all mortgaged ; but the
charges upon these mortgages are not more than 6001.
per annum. What, then, is done with the balance of
my income ? Then as to the bankruptcy spoken of, it
was a friendly brankruptcy effected for the purpose by
my sister, my best friend. lan Buller knows that
neither of the courts would take cognizance of my case.
I did not owe enough to enable them to do so. All I
want, all I seek, is an account of the disposal of my
money by Mr. Buller. This I have sought by every
legitimate means in my power, but in rain. lam too
poor to compel him by a bill in Chancery. lam perfectly
in his hands. For the last four or five years Mr. Buller
has allowed me 12s. a week for my support out of my
income. He calls it charity. I pay 3s. 6d. out of it
for my lodging, and 2s. for my poor child. I have
been reduced to a state bordering on starvation—
humiliating to conceive, dreadful to suffer. A short
time back, when my bed and everything was taken
from me, I sent a young person to implore Mr.
Butler to give me 61. That request was refused, and
I have that witness here to-day to swear, if you will
permit her, that Mr. Buller told her the reason why
he did not give me more money was, because " he
should then be supplying me with weapons against
himself." lam worn out and destitute, and if the
12s. a week is now withdrawn from me I have only
the workhouse for a refuge. In conclusion, the pri-
soner repeated his avowal that he could prove every
allegation he had made against Mr. Buller, and
anxiously waited an opportunity of doing so.
Mr. Rymer presumed that it was quite unnecessary
to repeat his former assertion, that the prisoner's
statement was totally false.
Mr. HENRY said that, even if true, there could be
no doubt that the placard was a libel. His course
was, inevitably, to commit him for trial. His wor-
ship asked if the allowance of 12s. would be continued
to the defendant ?

Mr. Buller replied, certainly not.
The prisoner was then committed for trial, his
Worship consenting to admit him to bail, on pro-
viding two sureties in 401. each.

Th© prisoner thanked his Worship, and said he
should have no difficulty in finding sureties, he be-
lieved.

Shortly after the disposal of the above case, Sir
Francis Knowles, Bart., waited upon the magistrate
and said that, having just had his attention called to
the libellous placard, he was anxious to state in pub-
lic that he did not authorize Mr. Waller to append
his name to it as a referee. He had the pleasure of
knowing some members of Mr. Waller's family, and
had occasionally conversed with him respecting the
disputes with Mr. Buller, but he had never made
himself sufficiently acquainted with all the documents
or particulars of the case to justify him in giving any
advice upon the matter. lie repudiated all sanction
or knowledge of the libel in question.
The prisoner, on being again placed in the dock,
admitted that he had inserted Sir Francis's name
without consulting him, and apologised to him for so
doing.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
A foreign gentleman yesterday addressed Mr.
Hardwick, in French, stating that he was the owner
of the picture produced in court some short time ago,
in the proceedings against persons who were endea..
vouring to dispose of a large quantity of diamonds
and other valuables alleged to have been stolen from
the palace of the Tuileries and the Chateau de
Neuilly, after the abdication of King Louis Philippe,
and that this picture was detained from him by the
Baron de Bassagnes. When the charge against
Baron de Bassagnes, and Madame Delorice, and M.
Saulnier, was undergoing investigation, he had
been summoned from Paris with other parties,
to give evidence of the fact of the Baron
de Bassagnes having become lawfully possessed,
by purchase, or otherwise, of all the property
found in -his possession, and seized by tic police on
the plea that it was the private property of King
Louis Philippe. The picture in question he (appli
cant) had bought in Paris after the abdication for
3.5 f., and he bad intrusted it to M. Saulnier to dispose
of in London. When the proceedings were com-
menced against the Baron de Bassagnes and others
his expenses were paid over to this country, and he
was prepared with proofs that he was the proprietor
of the picture found in the rooms occupied by the
Baron. The proceedings had terminated, as the Ma- ;

gistrate was aware, by the Custom-house officers tak-
ing possession of ad the property until it could be
satisfactorily proved that it had paid duty on being
brought ever. The picture in question had paid the
regular duty, and it was now in the possession of the
Baron de Bassagnes. When he applied for its re-
storation, the Baron, who was a most honourable man
and a man of large property, had refused to deliver it
up, and consequently, by way of reprisal, he had
seized a valuable Cashmere shawl belonging to the
Baron, which he intended to keep possession of until
he got back his picture.
Mr. HARDWICK asked the applicant if he was
aware General Chabannes had stated that the picture
had been cut from a larger picture in one of the Royal
palaces of France?

The applicant said, so he had heard. Tie had
bought it at the time on speculation, as there were
bargains of the same kind to be picked up after the
revolution in February, and he had intrusted it to M.
Saulnier, who was going over with the Baron de
Bassagnes to England, to dispose of some valuable
property which the partie3 had disposed of at a sacri-
fice in consequence of the then unsettled state of
atfAirs. Tne picture he expected to be able to sell lor
about 6001. in England. As soon, however, as he
heard that, among other things, this picture had been
claimed as the private property of King Louis Phi-
lippe, he had written to. the King to say that, pro-
vided he were repaid the 35f. he had given for the
picture, he would at once restore it. He had received
a reply from General Chabannes, referring him to
Mr. Humphreys, the solicitor. The applicant here
produced the letter and answer, in corroboration of his
statement.

Mr. Ilaitnwicx said, if the Baron de Bassagnes
was the liberal and honourable man which the appli-
cant said he was, how was it that he detained the
picture from the presumed owner ?
The applicant said, this was not the least curious
part of the affair. The fact was the Baron was com-
pletely under the control of the woman Delorice.
About.twelve years ago the Baron became paralyzed,
and meeting with Madame Delorice, who was the
daughter of one of his slaves, she persuaded him that
his infirmities were the result of an " evil--eye;" that
he was bewitched ; and that she knew the secret of
baffling his enemy and restoring him to his bodily
faculties. The Baron took Madame Delorice to live
with hith as companion, and since that period she had
assumed an empire over him that would appear to
border on romance, were he not prepared to authenti-
cate his assertions. It was Mdme. Delorice who made
the acquaintance of M. Saulnier, a cashmere manufac-
turer, and who had introduced him into the Baron's
household as the Baron's secretary.
Mr. HARDWICK said, the ownership of the picture
was very questionable; and he did not see how he
could interfere. The applicant would do best if he
waited until the Baron went back to France, and then
the question of ownership could be submitted to a
French tribunal.

The applicant thanked the magistrate and with-
drew.

WORSHIP-S7'REET.

A respectably-dressed woman, whose name, for
reasons which will be apparent, we forbear from
giving, was placed at the bar before Mr. Hamrnill
under the following disgraceful circumstances :
Mr. Daniel Pepper, landlord of the King's Arms,
in the Whitechapel-road, stated that on the preceding
afternoon the prisoner, whom he had not seen before,
presented herself at his bar, and called for one penny-
worth of gin, with a request that she might be per-
mitted to look at the newspaper. She was furnished
with both articles, and, sitting down on a bench, pre-
tended to be perusing the advertisements ; but pre-
sently afterwards, when she thought she was unob-
served, he distinctly saw her stealthily secrete the
gin-glass beneath her shawl, from under which
at the same time she took a second gin glass and
unconcernedly placed it upon the counter. She then
returned the paper, and, thanking him for the loan
of it, left the house ; but, suspecting she had
" rung the changes," he at once examined the last
glass, and, finding upon it the name of another
publican, it was evident that she had stolen that also,
and that, not being able to sell it so marked, she hed
changed it for his own, upon which there was no-
thing by which it could be recognized. It was
obvious, from the dexterity she had shown, that she
had been in the habit of such practices, and he there-
fore closely followed her down the street until he met
a policeman, when he gave her into custody, and the
officer, upon searching her, found the witness's glass
still underneath her arm, where before he had seen
her place it.
The constable who apprehended the prisoner stated
that, from inquiries he had made respecting her, he
found that she belonged to a highly respectable family,
but that they had been obliged to discard her, from
her vicious and degrading propensities, and that upon
searching her at the station- house a letter was disco-
vered upon her person, addressed to her by her father,
a solicitor, formerly in extensive practice, and couched
in the most affecting language, reproaching her bit-
terly for her habits of drunkenness and crime, which
had compelled him, after repeated forgiveness, to turn
her from his roof and abandon her to the world, and,
warning her that if she did not reform she would end
her days in a prison or penal settlement, expressing
his intention to refuse her all support after that week,
and concluding with a conviction that he should
shortly descend into the grave disgraced and dis-
honoured, leaving her to penury and starvation, solely
in consequence of her infamous and heartless conduct.

The prisoner witnessed the reading of this letter
with the most callous indifference, and upon being
questioned by the magistrate, merely replied that her
tamily were desirous of sending her to South Aus-
tralia or some other place out of this country; and
that she was determined not to comply with such an
unreasonable exaction.

Mr. HammiLL said it was melancholy to see a
person so respectably connected, and on whom so
much care and kindness had been lavished, but in
vain, placed in so disgraceful a situation; but as it
was a deliberate act of robbery, and appeared not to
be the only one she had committed, he felt it his duty
to remand her, in order that the police might have
time to make further inquiries about her.

THE CHOLERA AMONG THE
PAUPER CHILDREN AT TOOTING, &c.
OFFICIAL REPORTS.
Yesterday the following official statements were
received by the Board of Health, and the other
authorities, with respect to the state of the children
still remaining at Tooting, and who have been re-
moved therefrom :
" Surrey-hall, Touting, Jan. 17.
"We have much pleasure in reporting that matters
here are progressing favourably. There has been no
fresh case of cholera since Sunday, and the cases
under treatment are so rapidly improving as to leave
no doubt but the health of this establishment will in
the course of a few days be perfectly restored—

The following were received by the authorities of
St. Pancras at the sitting of the Committee of the
Board of Directors yesterday :
" Temporary Hospital,, St. Pancras, Jan. 16.
" The night has again passed over without any
fresh cases or deaths occurring among the children,
but I regret to add my head-nurse ,(Blake) was at-
tacked last evening; and now remains in extreme dan-
ger on account of her age (74). Two of the females
are not quite so well this morning, having experi-
enced a slight relapse.
" HENRY BIRD, Surgeon."
" Temporary Hospital, St. Pancras, Jan. 17.
" The children generally are quite well and exceed-
ingly cheerful. There have been no fresh cases or
deaths, and poor old nurse Blake I consider rather
better, but, of course, she has age to contend against.
The two children alluded to in my report dated yes-
terday remain in nearly the same state.
"There are two cases of diarrhoea amongst the boys,
but not of that character to justify me in calling them
even of a premonitory appearance.
" HENRY- BIRD, Surgeon."
The reports at the Holborn Union and Strand
Union last evening were that the condition of the
children removed from Tooting to the Royal Free
Hospital, and to the Refuge for the D:stitute in
Ogle-street, Marylebone, was favourable, only a
few cases of diarrhoea having occurred since the last
reports.

LITTLE STORIES FOR LITTLE POLITICIANS, IN
WORDS OF ONE SYLLABLE.—There was a small boy,
whose name was John Bull, and he felt much pain from
a rod; not that he was a bad boy who ought to have the
the rod, but that those who did rule him did love to lay
it o❑ to him so hard that he could not bear it. Now one
day John did find the rod, and when he saw it, he
was much struck by some twits, which he did twig
as those which had much struck him, and struck him too
much, as he thought. And he had good cause to think
so. So when he saw the twigs which did bear on him
too hard, he did make up his mind to pull at them till
he should pull them quite out, and make an end of them.
So a friend did chance to call on him, whose name was
Dick Cob, who said if John would lend his own hand to
pull out the twig that stung the most, he, Dick Cob,
would lend his hand too, and he had no doubt !hat they
would both gain their end if they both gave a long pull.
a strong pull, and a pull at the right mot.. S • John
Bell and Dick Cob did give the long pul', and the tit, ong
pull, and the twig came out quite well; so that the rod
did not hurt poor John Bull halt so much as it once had
done, and his back could now bear all that fur his good
it was right to put on it.—Platch.

EXTRAORDINARY BIRTII.—On Sunday morning
the wife of a pieir shoemaker, residing in Rochester-row,
Westminster, was deliver.-d, by Mr. C. Russell, surgeon,
of Holywell-street, Millbank, of five well-formed, still-
born children. We are happy to say the poor woman is
doing well. The mother is 23 years vf age.
