01.1 TR AGE AT Dhinty-LAZE THEATuE.-Yester:-
day:Joseph Rol*, the man Mio.was detected qn
Thursday night in throwing a,glass tumbler trout
the two-ihillitig gallery of EirtUry-lane Theatre
into the pit, was brought to the Office. from Tot-
hill-fields, Bride Well; and underwent Another exa.-
minat ion.

iNirs. Sarah Jacques, of Gedrge-street, .Voster-
Cheapside., whOSe head the tumbler fell upOti,
and .htuie Hall, who sat next to her, and whose
head was cut with it, 'intended, as did also the
wittiesses who sad' throw the tumbler. Ca-
nitine Clarke, the woman ‘rho L?? 1 in- the yri-
Soner'S company in the gallery, did dot attend,
illthotih the promised so to do.
The prisoner appearad quite a di:Yet-eat man to
what he did on lik• being brought to the Office sin
Thiirsday, and slieWed every Symptom of contri-
tion for the injury he had done. Mr. llibdin, Mr.
Rae, and Mr. Spring, attended on the part of the
theatre, to carry on the prosecution against the
prisoner for the safety of the public:
Mrs.Jacquoes and Mr. agreed not to prOse-
cute the prisoner, not having received any ;Mate-
rial injury, hut would be guided in their conduct
by the Magistrates.
The troth Mr. Gael', second son of the Earl
of Stamford, then rose and addressed the Magis-
trates. On the part of the unfortunate man at the
13ar„ he hail nothing to urge in his defence for
his highly reprehensible conduct upon the present
occasion, and it could only be accounted for from
his having drank a quantity of liquor, which he
was not in the habit of doing,' and which must
have' operated as a -temporary derangement ; for
which, since the prisoner's confinement, he had
been a true penitent, he having sent his valet
...to
visit him in Bridewell. With respect to the pri-
soner's conduct and general character, they were
so good as but seldom fell to the lot of men in his
situation of life. Ile had lived in the service of
his Noble Relative, the Earl of Stamford, at.
Dunham Park, in Cheibire, for upwards of twelsve
years, during which time he had sustained an un-
impeachable character, and was much respected
by the Earl, his fellow-servants, and he believed
all who knew him, lle therefore took the liberty
of submtting, whether, in consequence of his
sorrow for what had happened; his confinement
for several day, in Bridewell, his being robbed,
or having lost Bank-notes to the amount of 21/.
which would operate as punishment for his mis-
conduct, whether, under these circumstances, his
asking pardon in the public newspapers would
not answer the ends of public justice.
-The Magistrates, having taken the suggestion
of the lion. Gentleman into consideration, were
pleased to approve of the course submitted to be,
pursued by the prisoner,. and recommended it to
the Managers present to adopt, which they, on ac-
conk of the very extraordinary good diameter
given to the priSoner by the Honourable Gentle-
man, very humanely ay,reed to do ; and to forego
any prosecution against him : the prisoner ex-
pressed his sincere thanks. He said on his way
to London he lied been travelling, three 'nights,
and Was- intoxicated with what he drank on the
-coach. As to what happened after his artiVal in
London, he was totally insensible. The last
time he recollected seeing his bank-notes was in
his .waistcoat pocket, but he did not know' at
What time or place. It was agreed that he should
beg pardon in all the Morning Papers, and one
Weekly Paper, and _pair the expenses. After he
had signed his confession, he was conveyed to the
bonse of the Earl of Stanifonl in Charles-street,
Berkeley-square, and the Hon. Mr. Grey-tinder-
took that he should be sent out of "London last
night or this morning.

Two 'voting men claimed the reward of fi"ie gui-
neas offered by Mr. Rae froni the ;taw for the
apprehendon of-die prisoner, .whicb'was.ordered
by Mr. Dibdin and Mr. Rae to lie paid' imnie"-
diately.
