CALIFORNIA.

Wise people are fond of repeating, generally too
late for practical purpose, that " there is nothing new
under the sun." They do not, however, tell us the
converse of this proverb. There is no event, no
crisis, no prodigy, no discovery, which we may not
expect to see repeated, and possibly eclipsed, by
some new birth of time. Changes utterly incon-
ceivable by the rule of the present gene-
ration become possible on a more extended in-
duction. We will forbear to recall the numerous
examples spontaneously suggested by the memorable
year of which we have taken leave, and go at once
to the last nine days' wonder—the fields of gold in
California. The supply of the precious metals in
the hands of the civilized world has always been
subject not only to fluctuations, but to extraordinary
accessions. The conquering empires of antiquity
accumulated gold and silver at their victorious
capitals, to an extent which produced many changes,
and not a few evils. Ransoms, tributes, bribes,
contributions, and plunder flowed in a golden
stream to the great cities of Asia and of Greece, and
lastly to Rome. The discovery of America, the sack
of its palaces, and the opening of its mines so aug-
mented the stock of precious metals in Spain and
Portugal, and through those nations in Europe at
large, that prices which had remained almost stationary
for ages advanced per sultitm nearly to their pre-
sent average level. Since that great era there has
been a continual current of the precious metals into
Europe. Their uses, however, have equally multi-
plied and increased. The demands of luxury and trade
have grown upon the supply. A metallic circulation
in the British Isles approaching to 70,000,0001., and
another in France exceeding that sum in silver alone ;
circulations proportionally increased in all Europe;
besides a vast consumption in gilding and jewellery
absorb annual millions without much impression on
the value of the precious metals. The boasted relief
from the Oural mountains has hitherto proved but a
drop in the ocean. Hence for some time past gold
has been regarded as the type of unchangeable
value, and there has even been a show of popu-
lar clamour against the national Acts by which
the debts of the State have been represented in a
medium more likely to be enhanced than depre-
ciated. It was scarcely to be suspected that we
should once more witness the ships of Tarshish, the
spoil of Corinth, the treasures of Arabia, the
chambers of Montezuma, or the hall of the Incas;
but—" there is nothing new under the sue," nor
yet anything old which shall not be again—the
plains of gold in California seem to beat them all.
Gold is a vulgar material, much decried by poets
and forbidden by philosophers ; but its history be-
longs to romance, and its vicissitudes are associated
with the fortunes of our race. Avery now and then
an El Dorado has been announced in some remote
region, some new continent or world. At one time
the mines of Spain and the rivers of Portugal ; at
another time commerce with India ; then Mexico
and Peru ; then the deadly coast of tropical
Africa ; and, still more recently, the frozen
mountains and plains of Siberia—have suddenly
presented themselves to the aid of our bank-
rupt Exchequers ; creating the wildest desires, and
rendering some real assistance, but more generally
diffusing misery and ruin. The glittering commodity
has not been found amongst us ; we have not lighted
upon it in our su'sterranean wanderings ; no stratum
has been found " cropping out" on the hill side, no gold-
stone has caught the eye of the wandering miner ; all
the rivers and mines once of fabulous splendour
have been utterly worked out ; no sooner is the
spot fairly embraced within the pale of civilization
than gold seems to vanish like a legend of the past.
The rock no longer glitters, the sand is washed in
vain. But forthwith a cry reaches us from the ends of
the earth. Gold is found again. What region is so
inaccessible as the western coast of North America ?
It is " the far west" of the whole world, for after that
begins the east again. Though now included within
the territory of the United States, it cannot be reached
from New York within less than six months by
Cape Horn, or about three months by Chagres and
Panama, and about the same time overland by Sante
Fe. In that remote corner, the banished genie
reappears. If he seems to promise a greater
abundance, or a more constant supply than in
times past, he yet preserves his dignity, by inter-
posing twenty thousand miles of ocean between
himself and civilized man. The golden fleece of
Colchis and the golden apples of the Hesperides
were not more remote or more carefully guarded.
Speculation, of course, will be active, not merely as
to the actual profits of the working, but, what is
more important, its effect upon the commerce of
the world. Till the region has been more widely
surveyed, any estimate of the product must be pre-
mature. We only know that there have been many
such discoveries, if not on so large a scale, and that
they have all been speedily exhausted. The sands
of the Tagus and the Pactolus have long since been
sifted to the last flake of gold. The great mines of
the New World are generally exhausted. What
chiefly leads one to suspect that even the vast gold-
field of California may follow the fate of its predeces-
sors in the old world is, that the form in which the

• POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-110 U SE.
Joseph Sayer, a person in the employ of Messrs.
Caldicott and Co., of Cheapside, Manchester-ware-
housemen, an.l Harriet Sayer, his wife, were brought
before the Lord Mayor, charged with having plun-
dered the premises of the prosecutors.
Mr. Hobler, who appeared for the prosecution,
stated that there was ground for believing that Messrs.
Caldicott's premises had been extensively plundered ;
that the male prisoner had been concerned in the
robbery, and that the woman at the bar, who was
supposed to be his wife, had such knowledge of the
transactions as induced the prosecutors to have her
apprehended and detained until their relationship to
each other should be clearly ascertained. Part of the
stolen property had been found on the premises of the
prisoner, and the prosecutors required some days'
delay in order to make an effectual investigation
into the particulars of the charge.
Thomas Cobley, K 65, stated that in consequence
of information which he had received he went to 14,
Goodman's-yard, Goodman's-fields, where the pri-
soners lodged, and found there a rod hanging on the
bed, and asked the female prisoner how she became
possessed of it? She replied that her husband had
brought it home to her. He also found some articles
which it was believed were the property of Messrs.
Caldicott.
Mr. John Wilcox, a clerk in the house of Messrs.
Caldicott, identified some of the articles produced as
the property of the prosecutors.
The male prisoner declared that the woman who
was charged with him was his wife. He stated that
he had acknowledged to Mr. Caldicott his crimina-
lity with respect to one of the articles he was charged
with having stolen, and that gentleman had held out
an inducement to him to make the confession by
offering a remission of punishment.
Mr. Caldicott denied that he had uttered a word
from which his forgiveness of the offence could pos-
sibly be inferred ; on the contrary, he had cautioned
the man as to any confession he might be disposed to
make.
The prisoners were then both remanded.
The LORD MAYOR requested that the press would
announce his grateful thanks, upon the part of the
poor, for the following sums of money :—From Mr.

cution of cases under the " Nuisances Removal and
Diseases Prevention Act" being defrayed out
of the sums collected for the relief of the p )er,
having intimated that an extra officer had been ap-
, pointed, and that the labours of another were mate-
rially increased, whose amount of remuneration the
board had not yet determined upon, in order to carry
cut the provisions of the Act of Parliament, inquired
what amount of costs the magistrates would call
upon those to pay whose non-compliance with this
sanitary enactment rendered prosecution necessary ?
Mr. Broderip declined to give a general opinion, and
left the parochial authorities to raise the question
upon the case above alluded to, if they thought fit.
Mr. Ryder, considering that if the great burden of
the costs should fall upon the defendants, the statute
only requiring the removal of the nuisance, without
imposing any penalty in the event of the order of the
magistrates not being obeyed, there would be a
readier obedience to the law, availed himself of the
opportunity thus afforded of setting the matter at
rest, and a summons was accordingly taken against
Lawrence, to appear yesterday, to show cause why
he should not be adjudged to pay the costs incurred
in prosecution, amounting to 18s., the items of which
were, half-a-guinea for the parish surveyor, Ss. Gd.
to the inspector of nuisances, and 4s. costa of the
summons and order of this court.
Proof having been given of the service of the order,
summons, &c.,
Mr. BRODER'? said—The extraordinary items con-
sist of a claim by the surveyor and inspector—both
public officers—for attendance, &c. This application
is singular, so far as the practice of this court is
concerned. The parishes of Westminster within the
district generally, whose officers have to deal with a
locality abounding in abominations, and who have
dealt with them most efficiently, have not asked for
any such fees. The inspectors of nuisances in those
parishes have been most active, and I am bound to say
that, owing to their zeal ands:the discretion of the
parochial authorities a great and happy change has
been effected. It has been urged that the expense of
carrying out this most beneficial Act ought not to
come out of the poor-rate, and that the officers
employed putting its provisions in force should be
paid by the orders of the justice. See to what this
would lead ; it would lay the officers open
to that suspicion which it has been the care of all
modern Acts of Parliament to prevent—namely, their
having a direct interest in getting up cases, and
thereby rendering their evidence suspicious and un-
satisfactory. Again, how is to be assessed ? There
may be one hundred cases, there may be five, what is
to be apportioned to each defendant ? A great deal
might be said in answer to the argument that the ex-
pense should not come out of the poor- rate. E►en if
the parishes were to pay a great deal more for carry-
ing out sanitary improvements, it would be fouad to
be a wise economy. But the 14th section of the Act
is conclusive as to the expenses being paid out of the
poor-rate (the worthy magistrate here read the sec-
tion, which directs that persons employed in carrying
out the provisions of the statute shall be paid out of
the poor-rate.) The truth is, and I say it from ex-
perience, that the Act can in general be well carried
out by the inspectors of nuisances, who as well as the
surveyors, are salaried officers, and do not come under
the category of those whom the justice may order to
be paid. 'There may be particular cases, but this is
not one of them.
By this decision the costs at this court for sum
mouses and orders were only allowed.

WORSHIP-STREET.

GUILDHALL.
Yesterday, Michael Leary, a'well-known impostor,
who has been brought up to this court an innumer-
able number of times for begging and exciting the
sympathies of the :public by pretended illness, &c.,
was charged before Alderman Lawrence with a simi-
lar offence.
The prisoner, who was allowed to stay in the ante-
room instead of being locked up in the cells, continued
groaning all the time, declaring that he was dying
from rheumatic pains, and when helped into the
court he redoubled his cries of " Oh, my back, my
back," and clung to the railings of the dock, in which
position he continued moaning at times, and to all
appearance suffering great pain, while the evidence
was being taken down.
John Snellgrove, 267, of the City police, said that
about eight o'clock the previous evening he was on
duty in Holborn, when he observed the prisoner walk
from house to house begging, after which he went
into several public houses, and obtained a quartern
of gin, which he drank, and at last became rather
intoxicated.
The prisoner, forgetting all his pain, exclaimed in
a firm tone of voice, quite different to the whine he
had kept up, " Oh, he would actually swear my life
away.'
Alderman LAWRENCE—Do not say anything yet
awhile ; you will be heard presently.
Snellgrove then went on to say that the prisoner
then went into a coffee-shop, but did not get anything,
and on his coming out he took him into custody,
knowing him to be a rank impostor. He made a
most determined resistance, and kicked him several
times, but finding his efforts ineffectual, he went on
another tack, and suddenly dropped down on the
pavement, declaring that he had got a rheumatic
attack and could not walk, in consequence of which
a stretcher was sent for, on which he vas conveyed
to the station-house. On attempting to search him,
the prisoner said that he had only 11d. about him.
Prisoner, again forgetting his assumed character,
said—That is false. I said I had ls. sd.
The officer proceeded to state that he found lid. in
the prisoner's jacket pocket, and is. sd. wrapped up
in a paper, and tied in his shirt.
Prisoner—l only had that amount altogether.
Alderman LAWILXNCB asked the officer how the
prisoner walked when he first observed him ? Snell-
grove replied that he was walking as well as any per-
son from Hatton-garden to Leather-lane. That he
had got a union jacket on, and was the worse of
liquor.

ELOPRMENT AND ROBBEIRY.—A yourig man named
William Smart was placed at the bar before Mr.
Arnold, charged with having stolen a cartload of
household furniture, the property of Mr. John Groves,
a poulterer, in Pool-street, Hoxton.
The prosecutor, who displayed much mental distress
and emotion, stated that the prisoner had lodged in
his house for four months past, and that although
circumstances had arisen which induced him to fear
that an improper intimacy subsisted between the
latter and his wife, to whom he had been married nine
years, and had a family of four children, nothing
occurred to confirm his suspicions until the
morning of Saturday se'nnight, when, upon re•
turning home from business at Leadenhall-market,
he was shocked to find that his wife had absconded,
leaving her children the eldest of whom was
only seven years of age unprotected; and that
the whole of his furniture and every article in the
place had been carried off. Having ascertained from
his eldest child that the goods had been removed in a
cart, under the direction of his wife, and feeling
satisfied that she had acted in collusion with the pri-
soner, he obtained the assistance of the police, but
every effort to trace out their retreat was unsuccess-
ful, until a few days since, when he accidentally
discovered him at a house in Tabernacle•walk, in
company with his wife, and gave him into custody ;
and he afterwards traced his property to another
house in the same neighbourhood, where nearly the
whole of it was recovered.

Prisoner—What a falsehood—am I drunk now ? I
was no more intoxicated then than now.
Alderman LAWRENCE asked the prisoner whet he
had to say ? The prisoner said he had only been
turned out of the workhouse the previous day, where
he had been ill for the last eight days, and that he
went to Hatton-garden to see one of the overseers,
but he did not succeed. He then went to the coffee-
shop to get a pennyworth of tea, which they would
not serve him with, and on coming out he was taken
into custody. He was much ill used by the officers
at the station-house, although so very bad.
Alderman LAWRENCE—That will not do ; you are
too well known to make me believe you were ill at
all, and it is all sham now. When were yeu last in
prison ? Leary—l had six months at the sessions
for an assault on the police, but I was in good health
then.
Alderman LAWRENCE—And you had a knife in
your possession for the purpose of stabbing them ?
Leary—No, I had not.
David Sutherland said the prisoner had been twice
committed from this court for similar assaults.
Alderman LAWRENCE—There is no doubt you are
one of the greatest impostors in London, and are well
known. Prisoner (with great frankness)—Well, I
will not tell a falsehood, but admit that I am a little
known—(Laughter)—but I wish you would send me
to the workhouse, to keep me out of the streets.
Alderman LAWRENCE-I shall send you some-
where else before you go there, and that is to prison
for fourteen days on bread and water.
The prisoner was then carried out by the officer,
he haring suddenly remembered that he was suffering
severely from the rheumatics, and therefore cried out
most lustily about his back.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
ROBBERY AT AN lIOTEL.—John Williains, a per-
son of respectable appearance, was brought before
Mr. Hard wick for final examination, charged with
having committed several robberies at the Colosseum
Hotel, Park-road, Regent's Park.
It appeared that the prisoner went into the Colos-
seum Hotel, kept by Mr. Grace, on Friday night,
and applied to be accommodated with a bed for the
night. He was furnished with a bed, and in the
morning he left. Soon after he was gone the waiter,
William Pizzey, went into his bedroom, which was
close to the room occupied by the prisoner, and he
immediately missed his watch, which he had pre-
viously placed on the top of the drawers. On making
a further search he discovered that a quantity of
wearing apparel had also been stolen. On stating
below what had occurred, Ann Otley, the cook,
recollected that she had borrowed a watch from Miss
Grace, the proprietor's niece, the over night, which
she had left in her bedroom, which was opposite to
the prisoner's room. She ran up stairs, and on look-
ing into the room she found the watch gone. Infor-
mation of the robbery was immediately forwarded
to the police, who sent it round to the various pawn-
brokers.
Charles Thomas Yardley, of Tottenham-court-
road, pawnbroker, said the prisoner came into his
shop on the following Saturday, and offered to pledge
a watch. From the appearance of the prisoner and
the watch, witness suspected that it was part of the
proceeds of the robbery at the Colosseum Hotel, and
accordingly he detained him and gave him into the
custody of the police.
The watch was identified by Miss Grace, and the
I prisoner was also identified as the person who had
slept at the hotel on the morning of the robbery.
The discovery of the second watch was made in a
singular way. When the prisoner was remanded he
had the watch upon his person concealed in such a
way as to escape the search to which he was previously
subjected. The prisoner was placed in a reception-
room in the House of Detention, for the first night, and
he then contrived to place the watch beneath the saw-
dust in a spittoon in the ward. Not being aware that
the regulations of the prison required a prisoner to be
placed in a different ward each night,he left the watch
in its hiding-place when called the next morning into
the washing-room. On learning that he would not
be sent back to the same ward, he told one of the
turnkeys where he bad placed the watch, with a re-
quest that he would go and get it, and keep it for him
until he was released. The turnkey found the watch
as described, which was delivered to the police. When
the watch was shown to rizzey, the waiter, he iden-
tified it as his property.

mineral appears is the same as of yore ; virgin gold in
flakes, grains, and occasionally in larger pieces,
charily diffused over the soil, and brought to light in
ravines, gulleys, and watercourses. It looks the old
story all over again. This does not augur inexhaustible
abundance. Experience is equally against the pre-
sumption that California, be its treasures great or
small, will prove a real benefit to the United States.

Police-constable Curzon, G 126, stated that he
accompanied the prosecutor in search:of the fugitives,
and while passing down the street in question he
caught sight of the wife of the prosecutor, with
whose person he was acquaisted, at the top window
of one of the houses. He immediately made his
way up stairs, and having asked her where the pri-
soner was to be found, she disclaimed all connexion
with him, and denied that he was there ; but upon
searching behind a turn-up bedstead at the end of the
room, he found him secreted there, and at once se-
cured him.

the pauper heir has often come to pass with nations.
Gold-hunting, whether pursued by the solitary Indian
or the great commercial company, is not one of
those branches of ordinary and legitimate trade which
train men to useful arts and steady habits, and so
draw down a blessing on society even when they
fail. It is mere gambling;—an unhealthy flush
of prosperity indisposing the populatio❑ for regular
industry, and entailing a subsequent collapse of
national energy, and, to some extent, of the national
independence. Myriads, it is said, are now
hastening from the ports of the Union, having relin-
quished their trades and social positions. Merchants
and shipowners are preparing to supply the ad-
♦enturers. The enterprise promises to absorb a
vast amount of industry and wealth. Whether we
look to the prospects of the new colony assembled
in California, or the spirit diffused over the whole
Union, we see little to regret that the region is not
ours. The universal increase of population, commerce,

Henry Niddle stated that at an early hour on the
morning of Saturday se'nnight he was knocked up
by the prisoner, who told him to proceed immediately
to the house, 33, Poole-street, to remove the goods
of the occupants, who were about to change their re-
sidence. The prisoner accompanied him a short
distance with a horse and cart, which he had brought
with him to execute the job, and upon reaching the
house it was loaded, with the assistance of the
prosecutor's wife, who was shortly afterwards joined
by the prisoner, and he was directed to drive to a
house in Mark-street, Finsbury, to which they both
proceeded with him, and he left them together.
At the close of the evidence the magistrate asked
the prisoner if he had any answer to the charge, but
before he had time to reply the prosecutor's wife
pressed forward from the back of the court, and with
much boldness and flippancy intimated that she would
take upon herself the whole responsibility arising out
of the transaction, as the abstraction of the goods was
her own spontaneous act, and the prisoner had taken
no culpable part in their removal.
Mr. ARNOLD commented upon the disgraceful con•
duct exhibited by the parties, and said that as a clear
case of asportation had been made out on the part of
the prisoner, he should order him to be remanded for
the completion of the case.
The prisoner was then removed by the gaoler; but
the instant he left the dock the prosecutor's wife, with
an endearing expression, caught him round the neck,
and gave him a parting kiss, to the chagrin of her
unfortunate husband, and the disgust of every one
present.

and wealth, requires a corresponding increase in the
precious metals, besides what is wanted to repair the
constant waste. Should California yield three or

four millions a year, which some will think an ex-
travagant estimate, it is questionable whether that
will do more than meet the demand. Should it
affect the price of gold even in a small degree, it
would close many mines now worked at a mere
nominal profit. A n annual supply of many tons,
which some American journals anticipate, would, of
course, depreciate the metal; but, as that would pro-
bably cause its more general use both for ornament
and for coin, the depreciation would so far be checked
by the increased demand. It cannot, however, be
denied that there is now some likelihood that gold will
fall to a rather lower value as compared with silver and
all other articles. In these days an abundance
immediately
communicated gold in the United States will be
communicated to other nations, and equalized over
the world. The result will show itself in that general
rise of prices which some ingenious philosophers
think so necessary an element of prosperity and
happiness. It will also depreciate all existing money
rents, dividends, and charges; enhancing in a corre-
sponding degree all other kinds of property. It will
thus avenge the old quarrel of the " inconvertible "
financiers, by reducing the public debt and all other
mortgages towards or to the war standard. We cannot
think, however, that any great change will be ex-
perienced for some years to come.—.Times.

SOUTHWARK.
Yesterday Henry Barron, a corn porter, of George-
street, Bermondsey, was brought before Mr. Cotting-
ham, charged with committing an outrageous assault
on policeman 45 M division.
The policeman stated that on the preceding night,
while on duty in George-street, Bermondsey, he
heard screams of murder proceed from the prisoner's
house, and on going to the door and listening he
found that he was beating his wife, who still con-
tinued calling out for assistance. He (the police-
man) knocked at the door, which was at length
opened by the prisoner himself, who inquired what
he wanted there ; and when told that he came there
to protect the woman who called out murder, the
prisoner said that he had no business to interfere ;
that his house was his castle, and that he should allow
no person to enter without his sanction. The prisoner
then hastily shut the street door, leaving the police-
man outside ; and immediately afterwards cries of
murder were again heard from within, when the
latter, finding that he could not obtain access by the
door, threw up the parlour-window with the intention
of going in by that means to deliver the woman from
the hands of her assailant. The moment, however,
he appeared at the window the prisoner, who had
armed himself with the poker, made a furious attack
on the policeman, who, to avoid a blow aimed at his
head with the weapon, warded it off with
his staff, which was broken in halves owing
to the violence with which it was struck with
the poker. The prisoner then made another blow at
the policeman with the poker, but the weapon slipping
out of his hand he then ran to the fire-place, and
snatched up a pair of tongs, when his wife, fearful that
murder would be perpetrated, rushed in between the
parties, and at length the prisoner, after a desperate
resistance, was secured and taken to the station-house.
The poker, and also the policeman's truncheon, were
produced in court. The policeman added that the
prisoner was not sober at the time, and when in that
condition, which was frequently the case, his conduct
to his wife, and others who interfered for her protec-
tion, was violent in the extreme.
The prisoner said that he was only having a scuffle
with his wife, and that the policeman insisted on
entering his house, and broke two panes of glass in
the attempt—that he and his wife could settle their
differences without the interposition of the police ; and
he (prisoner) admitted that he armed himself with
the poker to seek recompense for the breakage of his
window, and that he was struck in the first instance
before he retaliated.

[A.DVERTISEMEST.]—John Kaye, Esq., of Dalton-
ball, near Huddersfield, does not rest the claim as to the
efficacy of the celebrated Kaye's Worsdell's Pills upon
mere theory, or speculative opinion, but upon facts sub-
stantiated by hundreds and thousands. There is scarcely
a town, village, or hamlet throughout the kingdom, in
which this medicine is not well known. Wives and
mothers, husbands and children, are constantly sending
in grateful testimonies, and declaring that no medicine
ever wrought such astonishing cures, or was so invalu-
able to a family, as this. The following is a specimen:
—Sir,—l have found the Vegetable Restorative Pills
a most valuable family medicine. Some time ago my
daughter was very much afflicted, and appeared to be
gradually sinking. We tried medical aid in vain. I
then resorted to your Pills, and to the astonishment of
all who knew her, a complete cure was effected. Beim,
myself, greatly afflicted, having spent five or six pound's
on medical aid in vain, I also commenced taking Your
Fills, and I began to mend rapidly; and I can truly say
that I and my daughter received more benefit from
taking one small box, than from all the medicines we had
ever taken before.—Andrew Atkinson, Halton, Hol-

EARTFIQUAYIL—The shock of the earthquake felt
on Saturday, Dec. 27, at Bois-le-Duc (Netherlands), was
equally perceptible at Oss, Geffel, ;Nuland, Schyndel,
JJeer )k, Dinther, Eindhoven, and, above all, at Nisten-
roode and Worstenbosch. In the latter commune the
chock was so strong that stones were shaken from chim-
pep, and plates and dishes fell out of cupboard!. It is
remarkable that this phenomenon shortly preceded the
considerable change which has taken place in the wea-
ther. The Arnernsche Courant informs us that this shock
vas felt likewise at Arnhem. In that town it lasted for
four seconds, and caused objects hanging from the coil-
iugs of the houses to vibrate.—Brussels Herald.

his skull, the broken condition of the truncheon ex-

from which cries of murder proceeded, if he was re-
fused admission ; and that if he (Mr. Cottingham)
was aware that any policeman acting in his district
did not perform that duty when there was occasion
for it (as in the present instance) he should take
special care that such an officer should, at all evente
no longer remain in that division. The magistrate
added that his only reason for not sending the case
before a jury was in consequence of the policeman
receiving no injury at his assailant's hands ; therefore
he should deal summarily with the charge ; but, con-
vinced that the fine he was empowered to inflict was
inadequate to such an offence, he should sentence the
prisoner to one month's imprisonment, and at the ex-
piration of his sentence to find two securities to pro-
tect his unfortunate wife from his violence.
LAMBETII.
EXTRAORDINARY CAM—Yesterday, Mr. George
_England, the eminent engineer and proprietor of the
Hatcham Iron Works in Pomeroy-street, Old Kent-
road, appeared before Mr. Elliott to answer to two
summonses taken out against him by the Rev. Augus-
tus Kerr Bozai Grenville, incumbent of St. James,
Hatcham, the one charging him with using threaten-
ing and the other abusive language to that rev.
gentleman.
Mr. Grenville, upon being sworn, said—On Fri-
day last I was walking with ray wife, and met the
defendant and another man by the Railway Tavern at
New Cross, Deptford. They came out as we were
passing, and on seeing me he (Mr. England) called
me a vagabond parson. He also said I was a scoun-
drel, and that he should like to kick me. I looked to
see if I could recognise the person who was with him,
when the defendant said, " If he locks round again,
I will punch his face." The defendant also said, " I
will never let him alone while he is in the neighbour-
hood, I will stick to him." I had, by virtue of my
office, to remonstrate with the defendant, and I did it
in the mildest manner possible, in 1845, and ever
since he has annoyed me whenever he has seen me.
On his cross-examination by the defendant the
reverend gentleman said he was certain defendant
came out of the Railway Tavern, and thought he had
waited there until he and Mrs. Grenville came up.
On a former occasion he had slackened his pace on
meeting the defendant, because he was looking out
for a policeman. On this occasion he had also passed
his own house, because he was in search of a constable,
the defendant having then abused and threatened him.
On Friday last he (Mr. Grenville) did slacken his
pace ; but that bad been occasioned in consequence of
Mrs. Grenville becoming very unwell.
Mrs. Grenville was next sworn, and said—l was
walking with my husband on Friday last, and we
were followed by Mr. England and another man.
Mr. England called my husband a rascal and a vaga-
bond, and on my husband looking round, he (Eng-
land) said, " If he does it again, I'll punch his head ;"
and also said he was sorry I was married to such a
vagabond. He then said, " I'll stick to him as long as
he is in the neighbourhood." I was so frightened at
the defendant's manner, that on my husband taking
me into a shop, I fainted.
Mr. England, when called on for his defence, said
the causes which led to the present complaint were of
some years' standing. In the first place, he had been
instrumental in the appointment of Mr. Grenville to
the incumbency of the hamlet of Hatcham, having
been a member of the committee who had petitioned
the Ecclesiastical Commissioners to send him to that
newly formed parish. Having taken an active part
in the financial matters of the hamlet with the view of
checking as much as possible all unnecessary expen-
diture, he became obnoxious to the rev. complainant,
and considerable annoyance was the result.
Mr. ELLIOTT here remarked that he could have no-
thing to do with matters that passed some years ago,
and requested Mr. England would come down to the
circumstances of Friday last.
Mr. England, however, went on to say that Mr.
Grenville had summoned him before a magistrate at
Greenwich for an alleged assault, when t.he was
fined 51., and he in his turn brought an action for
damages against the rev. gentleman for a counter
assault, and got ls. damages, each paying his costs.
After this the rev. gentleman sought various means
to annoy him. On one occasion he went so far as to
denounce him from the pulpit for keeping a woman,
as he alleged, and called upon his congregation on
that occasion to assist him in getting rid of him, Mr.
England. And on another he objected to his becom-
ing a member of the Foresters Club, held at the
Railway Tavern, declaring him, Mr. England, to be
unfit for the society of moral or respectable men, and
said that if elected, he, Mr. Grenville, should with-
draw from the society as its honorary chaplain.
The Rev. Mr. Grenville—ln reference to the alleged
denunciation from the pulpit, and ,the other matters
alluded to by Mr. England, he would only say that
at the time the whole of the circumstances were
brought under the notice of his bishop, who thoroughly
investigated them ; and, after such investigation, ac-
quitted him of any charge of impropriety.
Mr. England having been repeatedly requested by
the magistrate to come to the subject matter of com-
plaint, said that on the day in question he was
walking with a friend, and on seeing the complainant
he, addressing his friend, said, " That is my beautiful
parson; that is my vagabond parson." He denied
using the vulgar language mentioned, and expressed
much regret that anything he had said should annoy
Mrs. Grenville, as nothing could be more distant
from his intention than that of doing so. He then
called a witness, who corroborated his statement.
In reply to the MAGISTRATE, he said the de-
fendant's first expression was, " That is the parson I
told you of." He then said "Heis a beautiful fellow
to go on about me as he has done. He is a pretty
vagabond parson to talk of me." He did not hear
anything said about pinching or kicking, nor did he
hear any bad language.
Mr. ELLIOTT remarked that there could be no
doubt the expressions and manner of the defendant
were highly improper, and for the abusive language
he convicted him in the penalty of 405.; and for the
other he ordered him to find bail.
The defendant complied with both, and was at once
discharged.
