BOW-STREET-(THIS DAY

William Harrison was placed at the bar before Mr.
Jena-, on a charge of " being a disorderly person, and
driving through a file of foot soldiers, thereby endanger-
ing their lives."
Sergeant John Hanington, of the 3d battalion Grena-
dier Guards, said that this morning about 11 o'clock, he
was marching with a single file of soldiers through the
Strand, on their way from the Tower, where the batta-
lion was stationed, to the tailor's, where they were to be
fitted with caps, when the prisoner, in a cart, came down
Wellington-street, " at a foot pace," just as they were
crossing the road. Although he and two of the privates
called out to him to stop, and the two privates attempted
to stop him, he still went on. He broke through the
file, and was driving down Wellington.street South,
towards the bridge, when he was stopped and brought
back. He did not say a word, but allowed himself to be
given in custody. There were 18 men in the file. They
were ordered to walk in single file to give as little ob-
struction as possible to passengers.
The two privates mentioned by last witness, John
Woodwall and George Macktellow, gave evidence in
corroboration. The prisoner was going at a slow trot.
He made no attempt to stop. Woodwall was obliged to
retreat, and Macktellow to spring forward in order to
avoid being run over. They had tried to stop the cart,
but could not do so. The file was completely broken.
The prisoner said that the file was already broken by
a van, and that he only passed through the opening
already made. He did attempt to stop the cart.
the three witnesses denied this altogether. The van
drew up and waited till they were gone over, and the
prisoner (whose cart was alongside the van) might easily
have done the same. The file was not broken till he
broke it. Ile made no attempt to stop.
Mr. HENRY said the prisoner was like most obstinate
people, he insisted that he was right when 'it was clear
he was in the wrong. To convince him of his error it
was necessary to punish him.
The sergeant said that if the prisoner would admit his
errer and apologise, he and his comrades did not wish
to press the charge. They did not want to hurt him,
and if it was " a warning to him " that was enough.
The prisoner gave the required apology.
Mr. HENRY said that as the complainants did not
wish to press the charge, he would not inflict a heavy
penalty, but it was necessary to inflict a nominal penalty
to convince him that he was liable to punishment. He
would therefore fine him 2s. 6d., which, together with
the expense of taking his horse from the green-yard,
would be enough.

The prisonei:'sent for the money, and on receiving it
paid the penalty and was liberated.
William Fletcher, who has been repeatedly remanded
on a charge of furiously driving a market gardener's
cart in Whitehall, and knocking down and driving over
an old fruit woman cf seventy years of age, who, with
her husband, was wheeling a barrow of fruit, was finally
brought before Mr. Henry this morning.
The complainant now said that as the prisoner was a
poor man, and had a wife and large family, and as he
showed great contrition, and " paid every attention" in
his power to her while laid up, she " did not want to
hurt him."

Mr. HENRY, yielding to the very earnest request of
the complainant, agreed to let the prisoner off un-
punished, as far as the charge of injuring her was con-
cerned, but as no man must be allowed to get into a cart
drunk and drive at a furious rate in a crowded street,
for that offence he would fine him in the full penalty of
21. As the complainant was very much to be pitied he
would order her 11. out of the poor-box.

MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY).
Thomas Webb and Thomas Leary were both charged
with creating a disturbance in Oxford-street, and in
several public-houses, where they called for liquor and
refused to pay for it.
Police-constable E 34, saidihis attention was calledtto
a crowd of 200 people gathered in front of the American
Storef, in Oxford-street, where he found the prisoners
quarrelling and vociferating. He said he had been
obliged to take them out of American Stores just
before.

Elizabeth Knight, barmaid to the American Stores,
said the two prisoners and another man came in and
called for a pot of stout. It was drawn for them, and
they drank it off, and called for another, but on being
told they must first pay for what they had had, they
began to quarrel with each other, and as none of them
had any money, it was necessary to call the policeman,
and have them turned out.
Mrs. Brown, landlady of the Three Tuns public-
house, Oxford-street, said the same persons had just
previously been in her house, and drank some rum, and
ran out without paying for it,
Mr. HARDWICK said there was too good reason for
believinc, that the prisoners were of a gang who were
perambulating the metropolis for the purpose of defraud-
ing people of their property. He sentenced them to a
fine of 20s. each, or fourteen days' imprisonment, for
creating a disturbance.
Donation of 2/. from J. H. 11., through Messrs Gos-
ling and Co., was received in aid of the poor-box.

CLERKEN WELL.—(THIS DAY.)
Frederick Blackstone was charged before Mr. Combe
with attempting to pick pockets in the pit of Sadler's
Wells Theatre, and also with having struck police:con-
stable 171 G, a tremendous blow on the head, with a
thick stick, loaded with lead at the end.
The policeman stated that he was on duty last night
at Sadler's Wells Theatre, when he observed the pri-
soner, who was accompanied by several other well-
known thieves, enter the theatre, and having watched
them closely, and observing the prisoner try several
persons pockets, he took him into custody, and had re-
moved him as far as the lobby, when the prisoner sud-
denly turned round, and struck him a violent blow
upon the top of the head, which felled him to the
ground. The house, as usual, was much thronged, and
a number of the prisoner's companions succeeded in
getting him away, but he was followed by several con-
stables through the crowd, and again taken into custody.
He was committed to hard labour in the House of
Correction for one month, without the alternative of
a fine.

Two diminutive boys, named William Bailey, and
John Pully, were charged with stealing frum Mr. Ayrc,
a surgeon and chemist, in High-street, Camden-town, a
number of valuable smelling-bottles, and William Har-
rison was charged with having received them, well know-
ing them to have been stolen.
The prosecutor stated that within the last few weeks
the prisoners had called at his shop several times,
under pretence of having some trifling prescription
compounded, and on almost every occasion he missed
some article from the shop after their departure. Yes-
terday they came again, and as they were leaving he
searched them, when he found upon Tully two silver
mounted scent cases. The prisoners then said they had
stolen several other silver mounted bottles from the
house and sold them for three-halfpence each to Harri-
son, who keeps one of those shops; half marine store
dealers and half confectioners, where children too often
get their initiatory lesson in thieving, by exchanging
small portable articles tor" sweet stuffs."
Mr. CosinE said, that taking into consideration the
extreme youth of the two boys, and that they, as well
as too many others, he was afraid, had been made the
victims of the elder prisoner, he should admit them as
evidence against him, so as to ensure his conviction,
which would be a benefit to society.
The boys then made their depositions to the above
facts, and Harrison was committed to take his trial.
