LAW INTELLIGENCE.
11, iIITECHAPE I. COUNTY COURT, Oct. 21.
(Before Mr. Sergeant MANNING, Judge.)
EDWARDS V. ARNOLD.
In this case the plaintiff, Mr. J. H. Edwards,
licensed victualler, and landlord of the Fox, Gray's
Inn-lane, sought to recover from H. Arnold, potato
salesman, in Spitalfields market, the sum of 81., the
value of two India silk shawls.

The plaintiff stated that he had been for some years
engaged in the shipping trade, and had made several
voyages between India and London. Previous to his
last voyage, on board the Ganges, in the month of
June, 1846, he was in company with his (plaintiff's)
brother, and defendant, when the latter asked him to
bring him two shawls of India silk. He returned a
few weeks ago from India, when he forwarded two
elegant shawls. He paid 61. for them at Bombay,
and the duty on them at the Custom-house. The de-
fendant now objected to take them, alleging that he
gave an order for six silk handkerchiefs.
The brother of the plaintiff confirmed his evi•
dence, and said he was informed that the shawls had
been taken to Mr. Wall's, linendraper, Bishopsgate.
street, who had stated that they were out of fashion,
and that in consequence they were not approved of
by the ladies, who wished to return them.

_ .
- A solicitor for the defendant said, he would be able
to show that the shawls were of British, and not In-
dian manufacture, and that the defendant never gave
an order for the shawls. (They were produced.)
The defendant having deposed that the order he
gave was for six silk handkerchiefs,
Mr. Herbert, an East India merchant, said that, in
his opinion, the shawls had been made in Paisley. He
had been in business nearly 40 years, and he knew it
was almost impossible for the most practised trades-
man to distinguish a Paisley from an Indian silk
shawl. They are often manufactured at Paisley and
sent to Bombay, from whence, after laying in bond
some time, they were sent back to this country as
China or Indian shawls. He thought these produced
were worth from 15s. to 255. each.

. ..........
A gentleman in Court stated that he believed they
were Indian silk, and that they would be sold in Lud-
gate-hill from 11/. to 121. each.
Verdict for the plaintiff, 8/. ,

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.

Joseph Laws, a man about 40 years of age, a lodg-
ing- house keeper, was charged before Mr. Alderman
ii ughes with committing wilful damage to the amount
of 11. on the property of George 'Watson.
Mr. Bond Hughes, the barrister, with Mr. Wolff,
attended on behalf of the accused, and Mr. Buchanan
on behalf of the complainant.
Mr. Buchanan stated that his client was unable to
attend to make the charge, in consequence of the pri-
soner having caused him to be arrested for a pretended
debt, coup:ed with the gross falsehood that his client
contemplated leaving the country. He had, therefore,
been locked up before a judgment had been obtained
that he owed the money. The facts were, that his
client hired a room at a house in Golden-lane, of
which Laws appeared to be the occupier. He was
living on the ground-floor, and had let the second
floor. After he had been there a short time, a Mr.
Fox applied to him for rent, alleging that Laws had
taken possession by stratagem and was a trespasser.
Fox put in a distress on his goods and also those of
Laws, but he withdrew that upon complainant's pro-
mises to pay no more rent to Laws. The latter con-
tinued from time to time to put in distresses for
rent, but he had always been compelled by the magis-
trates to give up the goods again. On the present
occasion he distrained for 10i., and removed 41. worth
of veneers in such a manner as to reduce their value
to 11. For this wilful damage Mr. Watson gave Laws
into custody.
Mr. Bond Hughes asked how it was possible to
proceed with a charge of wilful damage without the
party who complained had proved the case ?
Mr. Buchanan hoped the Court would not allow
the prisoner to take advantage of his wrongful act in
locking up his p-osecutor. He would call Mr. Fox
to prove that the prisoner had no right to levy any
distress whatever.
Mr. Alderman HUGHES HUGHES said a tenant might
pay rent due toa superior landlord for the protection of
his goods, and tender the receipt to his immediate
landlord, in payment of the rent next due. But here
it was denied that Fox was the superior landlord.
Mr. John Fox, of King-street, Long-acre, stated
that he was employed by Mr. Elgar, a surveyor, to
collect the rent of twenty houses, of which the house,
No. 15, Golden-lane, was one. Mr. Elgar, he un-
derstood, was appointed by the Court of Chancery to
collect the rents. Mr. Elgar's clerk let the house to
a person named Simpson, who disappeared after re-
letting the house to Laws, or, at least, putting him
in possession. He had distrained in the name of the
party who was the acknowledged tenant, on the goods
of the prisoner, and he had given Watson notice not
to pay Laws any more rent.
Mr. Alderman HUGHES HUGHES said the prisoner
was given into custody for wilful damage, and the
Act which gave jurisdiction to the magistrates upon
such charges forbade them to interfere where the
title to real property was involved. The magistrates
were appointed to keep the peace, and not to try
titles to houses and lands. Such questions were re-
served to the superior civil courts. The prisoner ob-
jected to the authority of Mr. Fox and the right of
his employer. It was evident that a question of title
was involved in the charga ; and he was therefore
bound to dismiss the charge. If Mr. Watson had
been wronged by Mr. Laws, the civil courts would
afford him a redress.
The prisoner was discharged.
BO IV- STREET.
James ilumphreys and James Roche, both shopmen
in the employ of Mr. Ackermann, in the Strand,
were placed at the bar charged with stealing prints,
books, &c., the property of their employer.
Mr. G. Ackermann, printseller, deposed to having
missed certain pictures from the show-room, in which
Humphreys was employed,
And Sergeant Thompson, of the F division, stated
that he found two of the prints, worth Si. each, at the
shop of a Mr. Rowland, of St. Mary-axe, who had
purchased them of the prisoner for 21. 4s. Some
books, prints, and other thing' belonging to the pro-
secutor, were found at Humphreys's lodgings, 77,
Londan-wall.
The only evidence against Roche was the state-
ment of the other prisoner to Thompson, that he was
implicated in the robbery, and the discovery of one
print in his possession. This, however, was not con-
sidered sufficient to justify his detention, and he was
therefore discharged.
Mr. Ham, reman led the other prisoner, Humphreys,
ror further examination.
CLERKENIVELL,

Mr. John Edmonds, of the Adam and Eve public.
house, St. John street, Clerken well, was summoned
last week fur having refused to admit the police into
his house, when Mr. Duncombe, the solicitor for the
defendant, contended that his client was justified in
his refusal to admit them, nasmuch as that he had a
license to sell beer, ale, porter, cyder, and perry, and
spirituous liquors, and the province of the police was
confined to visit and demand entrance to beer-houses
only, and they were prohibited from such a course as
regarded licensed victuallers, who had an Excise
license. His client had been summoned under the
4th and sth of William IV., cap. 85, sec. 7, which
stated :—" That it shall be lawful for all constables
and officers of police, and they are hereby authorised
and empowered to enter into all houses which are or
shall be licensed to sell beer or spirituous liquors, to
be consumed upon the premises, when and so often
as such constables and officers shall think proper, and
the refusal to admit them subjected the offender,
for the first offence, to a penalty of Si., and for
a second offence, to be disqualified from selling beer,
ale, porter4cyder, or perry, by retail, for the space of
two years next after such conviction." Mr. Duncombe
urged that the first part of this clause was irrecon-
cilable with the latter part, and that the introduction
of the terms " or spirituous liquors," was a mistake
of the engrossing clerk, and that his client ought to
have been summoned under the Beerhouse Act, as
it was evident that the police had no right to demand
entrance into licensed victuallers, but beer-houses.
Mr. Tyrwhitt thought, as the subject was one of great
importance, he would not take upon himself to decide
upon the matter until he gave it due consideration,
and he would adjourn the case until to-day, when he
would give his opinion and judgment.
Mr. Duncombe attended this day for Mr. Edmonds,
who was absent.
Mr. TYRWHITT said he had maturely considered
the matter in question, and although Mr. Duncombe's
objections and arguments were exceedingly ingenious,
he (Mr. Tyrwhitt) was of opinion that licensed vic-
tuallers, as well as beerhouse-keepers, were bound to
admit the police, and he convicted Mr. Edmonds in
the penalty of 20s. and costs.
Mr. Duncombe said they must show that his client
was licensed under the Act of Parliament which they
had proceeded under. They have summoned my
client as a licensed victualler, and they have prose-
cuted him as a beer-shop keeper; and, with all due
respect to the Bench, the matter should be finally
settled, as he was aide .l by other opinions besides his
on n. He applied to the clerk for a copy of the con•

After some further proceedings, it was arranged
that Mr. Edmonds (not being now present) should
he re-summoned, as matter of form, to enable Mr.
Duncombe to adopt any further course, after the
conviction had been legally adopted.

George lIP
in the dock, on remand, charged with being concerned
in an assault on a gentleman, named Bellchanttbers
pLaced
(since dead).
Mr. Binns, of Essex-street, Strand, and Mr. Cid-

ney, of Hatton-garden, stated that they appeared on
behalf of the accused, the former for Doyle.
„ lespe,aes ayee, .
that the prisoners stood in a different position to that
in which they had appeared on the occasion of their
being before the Magistrate a few days ago, as the
wounded gentleman with whom they were charged
with attacking and wounding hal since died from the
injuries inflicted, and the case consequently assumed
a more serious complexion. The Coroner's jury had,
without going into details, adjourned until Monday
week, and as there were some very peculiar circum-
stances connected with this lamentable affair, he (the
inspector) had to solicit that the Magistrate would
not require him, in the present stage of the proceed-
ings, to go into evidence, with which he was prepared,
but would grant a remand, as a disclosure at the pre-
sent moment of some paints in the case would have
the effect of frustrating the ends of justice.
Police-constable Pronzar, 74 B, was then pat into
the witness-box, and having, in reply to the questions
of Mr. W. Taylor, the chief 'clerk, stated that he
believed that if further time were given, he might be
able to procure other testimony, and that if the case
were gone into at present the ends of justice might be
frustrated,
Mr. Binns wished to know whether the magistrate
would accept bail for Doyle.
Mr. BURRILL replied, certainly not.
Mr. Taylor asked for a remand to Saturday week,
and Mr. BURRILL having assented,
Doyle observed, " Then I am to be in prison till
then ?"
Mr. Buitaree—Certainly.
Doyle—" Why I'm in solitary confinement—the
governor says I'm a murderer."
Mr. Binns hoped that his client would not be sub-
jected to any treatment that was more than necessary
for his safe custody. A man was presumed to be
innocent until a case was clearly made out against
him, and pending the inquiries, he conceived, was
entitled to any reasonable indulgence. Doyle's
friends were very respectable, and good bail could be
procured on his behalf.
Mr. BURRILL observed that, he should not interfere,
as he conceived the prisoners were treated according
to the regulations of the prison.
The prisoners were then remanded.
MARYLEBONE.
Charles Innis, apparently between 17 and 18 years
of age, was placed at the bar on the charge of having,
in a very artful and systematic manner, possessed
himself of property of different descriptions to a con-
siderable amount, the same having been obtained by
him, under false representations, from the houses of a
number of the nobility and gentry.
Thomas Chapman, a boy in the employ of Mr.
Blackburn, Bedford-street, Covent-gardeu, stated
that on the 10th of September last he was sent by
his master to the Duke of Bedford's, Belgrave-
square, with a parcel, containing some newly in-
vented mortar night-lights, and when near Constitu-
tion-hill he was accosted familiarly by the prisoner,
who, in the course of conversation, ascertained from
him in whose service he was, and where he was going,
together with the nature of the package. Witness
left the parcel at the mansion, the prisoner being still
with him, and directly afterwards he (prisoner) left
him. Witness added that he had not seen him since
until put to the bar.
Cheries Mason, the Duke's hall-porter, deposed
that soon after the parcel was left the prisoner came
to his Grace's residence, alleging that the said parcel
had been left by mistake, the mortars being of the
wrong size, and he promised to return directly with
the •proper goods, on the wrong one being taken
back by him. The parcel was given into his hands,
and he took his departure, but failed to return. Wit-
ness subsequently made inquiries, and ascertained
that the property had been fraudulently obtained
from him
David Parker, a boy in the service of Bickers and
Co., booksellers, Leicester-square, deposed that on
the 18th ult., as he was going to Mr. Ricardo's, 31,
Lowndes-square, with a parcel containing books, he
was accosted in Piccadilly by the prisoner, who tapped
him on the shoulder, saying, " I think I know your
face somewhere, in the hook trade;" and asked him
where he was going. On being told to Lowndes-
square, he remarked, " I'm going to Sloane-square
myself, and it's all in my road." They walked on,
and witness having reached his destination took from
hisleag the parcel of books, and gave it in, saying
that it was for Mr. Ricardo ; the prisoner and witness
then parted.
Sarah Howard, the housemaid, proved that in ten
minutes after she received the parcel the prisoner
rang the bell, and on her asking him what he wanted,
he told her that the wrong volumes had been packed
up in the library, and that he was to take them back,
and return with the proper ones. She gave him the
parcel, having no suspicion whatever that there was
anythings'and he left the house. She saw no more of
him, nor was there any other parcel sent in lieu of
the one alleged to have been left by mistake.
Three more cases were gone into against the pri-
soner, who had succeeded in obtaining coats and other
articles of wearing apparel, &c., from boys by similar
artful means; and it was stated by Higginbottom,
202 D, that there were several additional- charges
ready to be preferred.
The prisoner was remanded till Saturday week.
Henry Simmons was charged under these circum-
stances :
On the previous day he sat down at the Flask,
Hampstead, and partook of dinner and etceteras. He
walked away without paying for the same, and was
followed by the potman, whom he knoeked down in
the road. He was then given into custody.
The prisoner, who did not deny the assault com-
plained of, and said that distress was the cause of his
having failed to pay for what he had been supplied
with, was convicted in the penalty of forty shillings.
WORSHIP-STREET.
Sarah Gray, a girl, fourteen years of age, was
charged before Mr. Arnold, with having stolen a
gold signet ring, and numerous other articles, the
property of her mistress, a lady, named Wilson, re-
siding in High-street, loxton ; and Sarah Gray, sen.,
the mother of the girl, was charged with receiving
the stolen property.
It appeared that the younger prisoner had been
about four months in the service of the prosecutrix,
but, in consequence of several petty depredations hav-
ing been recently discovered, in which she was sup-
posed to be implicated, she was discharged a few days
since; but, it having been ascertained subsequently
that the property so stolen was more valuable than
had before been supposed, directions were given to
the police for her aporehension. On the preceding
evening, Police-constable Smith proceeded to the
whohouseof burst thei etlodtr aprsri on nelr, where he found the girl,
the charge against
her, but was sharply reproved by her mother, who
told her she had nothing to fear, as she knew she
neeso
was innocent. The girl was then conveyed to
the station-,house, accompanied by her mother,
who was afterwards followed by the officer to a
general dealer's, in Hare-street, Bethnal-green, com-
monly known as a " dolly shop," where small sums
were advanced upon trifling articles, at a ruinous in-
terest, and, suspecting that some of the stolen pro-
perty was deposited there, the witness entered while
the prisoner was in conversation with the woman who
kept the shop, and inquired of the latter if she had
lately purchased anything of the prisoner. After some
hesitation, the woman admitted that she had, and pro-
duced the gold signet ring, which the prosecutrix
valued at 255. She afterwards produced a variety of
wearing apparel, which she had also purchased under
similar circumstances, and the whole of which were
identified by the prosecutrix. The elder prisoner was
then removed in custody, and on searching her lodg-
ing, the policeman found upwards of 30 duplicates
relating to articles which he had every reason to be-
lieve were connected with other robberies.
In answer to the charge, the elder prisoner said that
when she left the property at the dolly shop it was with
the intention of redeeming it afterwards, and restoring
it to the prosecutrix.
Mr. ARNOLD considered the conduct of the girl's
mother of a very flagrant description, and ordered
both prisoners to be remanded, to enable the officers
to trace the owners of the property which had not yet
been identified.
Edward Harwood, a boy twelve years of age, and
Mr. Thomas Thorne, a master shoemaker in the Com-
mercial-road, were finally brought up, the former
charged with having robbed his father, a master
bootrnaker, to a considerable extent, and the latter
with having received the property with a guilty
knowledge.
