QUEEN'S BENCH.—( THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Justice ERLE.)
THE QUEEN V. GOMPERTZ AND WITHAM.
In this case, which was an indictment for conspiracy,
the defendants were acquitted by consent.
WALKER v. THE LONDON ASSURANCE COMPANY.
This case was withdrawn after the jury had been
sworn, the parties having, it was understood, come to
some arrangement

MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.)
William. Osborn, a young man very respectably con-
nected, Was charged before Mr. Bingham with being
found on the premises of Mr. Hollock, gold laceman,
No- 4, Old Bond-street, under suspicious circumstances.
It appeared that the complainant, after the fatigues of
the week were over, always made it a practice of going
into the country on the Saturday evening„ and return-
ing on the Monday morning to business. Latterly his
suspicions were excited that all was not as it should be,
Itind from certain information which he received he was
determined to watch the actions of his servants. On
Saturday evening last he left his residence as usual,
but, instead of going into the country, he
went to the station, and, having procured the
asAistance of a constable in private clothes, re-
turned to watch his residence. After looking out for
some time, they saw a man knock at the door, which
was opened by one of the servants, who admitted him
into the house. The complainant then went and rang
the bell, and after being kept at the door the servant
made her appearance, evidently surprised to see her
master so suddenly return. Complainant asked the
servant the reason she was not in bed, and the answer
being so unsatisfac'ory, he taxed her with admitting a
man into the house. She stoutly denied the assertion,
but in the mean while the constable had been searching
the premises, and the result of his search led to his
finding the Mena:int in the dust-hole. As there was a
deal of valuable property on the premises, the conl-
V.ainant, for his own safety, gave the defendant in
ch arge.
The defendant denied being in the house for an im-
proper purpose. He had been paying his addresses to
the servant for two years, and had been in the habit of
going to see her every Saturday evening. His father
was a builder, and he could assure the magistrate that
kke !lore a respectable character.
Mr. BINGHAM, after advising the defendant to be
more careful in future, discharged him.

THAMES.—(THIS DAY.)
Nine Lascar seamen, belonging to the ship Anna
Robinson, now lying at Gravesend, were placed in the
dock, charged with drunkenness and desertion.
It appeared that some disputes had arisen between
these men and the master of the ♦essel respecting wages,
and on Saturday the men applied at this court for a
summons against the master for the amount they claimed,
but as, from their own statement, it was shown they had
signed articles for a voyage from Madras to London and
back again, Mr. Ballantine refused to grant the sum-
mons, informing them they could not claim any wages
till their arrival at Madras, and the consequent termi-
nation of the voyage.
This morning Captain Augustus Munro, master of
the Anna Robinson, attended and represented to the
magistrate that the desertion of these men was a matter
of very serious importance to him. His vessel had left
the docks, and was now at Gravesend, ready to go to sea,
end should these men be left behind, to say nothing of
the expense and inconvenience to which his owners
would be subjected, he himself was, under the company's
charter, personally liable to a heavy penalty for each
rnan so left behind. As to the money they claimed, if
be was to meet their demands they would only abscond,
and the ship, which was now ready for sea, be detained
for an indefinite period.
Mr. YARDLEY said he apprehended the principal ob-
ject of the master was to obtain possession of the men,
and directed Inspector Bilston to afford Captain Munro
the assistance of the police for that purpose.
The men, when they got outside of the Court, became
very riotous, and positively refused to go on board.
One nia.n, who appeared to be the ringleader, was very
refractory, and endeavoured to excite the others to per-
sist in their opposition, and Captain Munro was com-
pelled to ask the Magistrate to have him locked up.
Mr. YARDLEY said the master was entitled to assist-
ance to convey the men on board, but he (Mr. Yardley)
could not punish them.
Captain Munro—Then I shall be compelled to take
him on board in irons.

On an inspection of the ship's articles, it seemed by
an error the voyage had been made to terminate at
London instead of Madras, and consequently the Magis-
trate could not interfere farther; and it was finally un-
derstood that the captain was compelled to consent to
the demands of the men, the ship being under the im-
perate necessity of sailing immediately.
