BOW-STREET.

A young man, named Richard Marlin, well known
to the police as an associate of thieves, was brought
before Mr. Jardine for final examination, charged with
stealing a roll of flannel consisting of seventy-four yards,
value 3/. and upwards, the property of Mr. Charles
Hawkins, linendraper, 29.7, Tottenham Court-road.

Constable Reshawe, 49 E, stated that about ten
o'clock on the morning of Saturday, 19th inst., he saw
the prisoner proceeding through king-street, towards
Long-acre, with the property produced on his shoulder,
when he stopped hint, and on demanding how he came
possessed of it, he threw it down, saying that a person
who was a total stranger to him had given it to him to
take to the Bull Inn, Holborn. He was asked where
the stranger was, and the prisoner said he d►d not know,
but he supposed he intended to meet him at the inn, to
pay him for his trouble. Observing that he was rk*
going in the direction of Holborn, after making some re-
sistance, he was conveyed with the ptoperty to the
station-house.
Mr. Dykes, shopman to the prosecutor, identified the
flannel as being the property of his employer. It was
safe•, with other articles, on the area grating, half an
hour before the prisoner was apprehended with it in his
possession.
Another shopman stated that the prisoner had been
observed lurking about the shop window, in company
with others, o❑ a former occasion, when prints and other
property, which had been exposed for show, had been
stolen.
The prisoner could give no other account of the pro-
perty than wEat he gave the constable when he took
hint into custody, and he was fully c&minitted to New-
gate for trial.

On Tuesday Mr. HACDWICK was engaged in the
investigation of the following charge against Mr.
Kensett. the well-known member of the vestry and
and board of guardians of St. Marylebone :
The defendant is a chairmaker, residing in Mortimcr-
street, Cavendish-square. -
Mr. Head, from the office of Mr. Steele, Hatton-
garden, attended on behalf of the complainant, Mrs.
Ann Sparrow, whose arm was bandaged up, owing to
the injury she had received.
Complainant stated that her son occupied a room at
No. 33, Ogle-street, for the rent of which she is an-
swerable. On Saturday last she went to the apartment
to fetch away several things, and amongst them were
two library chairs, for which her son bad paid 3/. While
there Mr. Kensett and his son knocked at the door, and
on their making their way into the room, the latter was
addressed by his father, who told him to take the chairs.
She (complainant) stated that she could not think of
letting them go unless he paid for them 31. He refused
to do anything of the sort, and was very violent in his
manner. . _

Mr. Head—State particularly what occurred.
Complainant—He tried to remove the chairs from
the apartment, andon my endeavouring to prevent him
he seized hold of both my arms, and dragged me by
main force against the bedstead, where he held me till
his son took the property away. I succeeded in getting
into the passage, and told his son that he had no right
to carry the chairs off, and my daughter immediately
went for the police. A constable soon afterwards
arrived, but he refused to act, saying that it appeared
to him to be a quarrel in which he -had no right to
interfere. He then left the place, when Mr. Kensett
struck me twice with his umbrella on my right arm, and
kart it very much. I applied directly fora warrant against
