HATTON-GARDEN.

Mr. John Newman, Barrister of the Temple, was
charged by Mr. White, of No. 4, Gordon-place, Tavistock-
square, with having broken his windows, and threatened
his life.

The complainant stated, that some time back the de-
fendant paid his addresses to one of his daughters, and the
marriage was all but arranged, when, from some cause,
which he need not mention, the match was put an end to
by his daughter, with the full concurrence, however, of
witness and the other members of the family. Since then
the defendant had annoyed him (Mr. White) and his
daughter in various ways, and their lives were constantly
in danger. On the previous night the defendant knocked
repeatedly at his dcor, calling out, <<Come out, you per-
jured old villain," and other vile epithets; and he threw
two large stones through the fan-light over the door.
Mr. ComEc—Did he attempt to escape ? Mr.
White—No, Sir, his rancour is too intense, and his dispo-
sition too violent for him to wish to avoid the consequences.
He even accuses me of the corruption of my own daughter.
Mr. COMBE—Do you apprehend bodily harm from him ?
Mr. White—l do.
Mr. Coltish r 'led the defendant if he wished to say any-
thing? Defendra—Mr. White's conduct to me has been
against the laws of God, and it is more thaa human nature
can endure.
Mr. COMBE—We must restrain you ; and the only mat-
ter for me to consider is the amount of bail we shall re-
quire of you.
Mr. Newman (despondingly)—Do whatever you like
with me.
1111. White—Ho is now under heavy recognizances,
which I haw removed into the Court of Queen's Bench.
Mr. COWIE observed, that it was painful to see a man
of Mr. Newman's station in life in such a situation ; and
he called upon him to find sureties, himself in 2001., and
two sureties in 2001. each, to keep the peace for three
months.

The defendant was locked up in default of bail, and in
the course of the afternoon he was removed in the prison
van to Clerkenwell gaol.

f' or
stands charged with steal-
ing a seal, value 'OOl., the property of his noble master,
also a large quantity of jewellery, the property of Messrs.

trieoent., was on
Saturday again placed at the bar
Mr. Humphries attended for the prosecution, and Mr.
Payne, the barrister, for the defence.
After some further disclosures respecting the seal, the
cese was remanded, Mr. Burrell thinking that, under the
suspicious circumstances of the case, he should be justified
in remanding the prisoner from time to time, as the case
might require, but he would take two sureties of 401. each
for his appearance.
Upon the application of Mr. Payne, the money and
clothes wore given up to the prisoner.
The prisoner was then locked up.

Prince Esterhazy, according to the Austrian
papers, has resigned the embassy at our Court. His
successor is not named.
CHURCH MEETING IN INVERNESS.-011 the
31st ult„ the Rev. Messrs. Cunningham and Candlish
arrived in Inverness, in order to address the people on
the subject of the present position of the Church of
Scotland. The Provost was solicited to take the chair
at a meeting to be held that evening in the Gaelic
Church, but declined to preside. Shortly after six
o'clock the meeting assembled in the Gaelic Church.
The attendance was numerous. The Rev. Mr. Stewart,
of Cromarty, presided,
and several other clergymen
were on the platform. The meeting was addressed at
great length by Mr. Cunningham and Mr. Candlish. A
requisition is at present in the course of signature to the
Provost of Inverness to call a public meeting of the in-
habitants, to consider and adopt measures calculated
to prevent collision bet.veen the Church and the Civil
Tribunals of the country." This may be considered as
disapproving of the attitude of resistance assumed at
present by the Church to the law of the lain!. In a
' few hours the requisition received about fifty signatures,
including those of influential inhabitants of all parties.
We are glad to see this, for it prevents the possibility
of this question being at any time tveMed or construed
into a party measure. We hear it is in contemplation,
among the county geritkmen, to get up a similar re-
quisition to Mr. Sheriff Tytler, the convener.—/llocr..
