In consequence of the ah-et:cc of an important witness
Case was not fully gone into, but the following are the
cumstatsees led to his api,rshension :—Defendant who
was attired in the fist style of fashion, applied to Mr. Georgte

that he was himself highly co.:lowed. A reference role giveS:

induced Mr. Ailing to accept him as a tenant. About t.:
months ago, having been properly instalhal is Park Cottsg!r:
prisoner gave be-ge orders, many of which were executed pr
the tradese,en in the neighb.mrhood, but all applicatl`,4l.l,..:;v

prisoner at th's sffiee, but the difficulty was how 10 ?-
a
hold of him. W' oib -ray and Hall, the two officers, keP" t
sharp look out, bet the artiste teas not to be had. They
length betho ght themsekes of a manoeuvre, which fi;
successful. Prisoner had reported a policeman to the Secrll-
tary of State for allowing him to b 3 insulted, and this he':
conic to the knowledge of the officers they dispatch-d 5 nia%;
ECNer to Perk Cottage, with the information that there at.
a letter waiting for him ft orn Lord John Russell at the Paco

became very violent, bit and kicked the officers, and wash.:
outrageous that they were obliged to hold him down bY to
hair of his head in a cart, in which state he was brought
this office.
In reply to a question from the Magistrate, Mr. -Edffar,alig;
the Chief Clerk, said there were other charges against
prisoner, but the pawnbroker where some of the property
pledged was not in attendance. ws'
Woodberry produced the duplicate of the table. It „,
found on the prisoner's person. The prisoner was then vg
mended, and as he passed through the constables'-room ga
a written order on the pawnbroker for the delivery of the thee:
pier glasses.
