MARYLEBONE.

Henry Gardner was brought up by Hooker, on a war-
rant, charged with having violently assaulted John
Larey.
The complainant and defendant are both paupers of
Marylebone, and it appeared that on a previous after-
noon they were permitted to go out of the workhouse
for a holiday. They drank together at a tavern, where
they fell out, and blows were exchanged, and in the
evening they returned to the workhouse alluded to.
Gardner entered the establishment first, and laid wait in
a passage for Larey, upon whom he inflicted several
tremendous blows upon the face as he was passing along.
Gardner was fined 405., and in default of payment was
sent to the House of Correction for a month.

A gentlemanly looking young man, who gave his
name Charles Jackson, was placed at the bar before the
sitting magistrate, Mr. Rawlinson, charged by police-
constable Scott, 360 S, who stated that on the :previous
night he found the prisoner sliding on the footpath in
the Avenue-road, St. John's-wood, and he (witness)
therefore took him into custody. _ _ _

Mr. RAWLIN SON (to the prisoner)—Judging from your
appearance, sir, 3rit are a man who ought to know
better than to endanger the lives of the public in this
way, by rendering it dangerous for persons to pass along.
What have you to say? Prisoner—lt was a thoughtless
error, sir, and I'm sorrj for what I have done.

Fined ss.
Stephen Yearsley, who described himself as a solici-
tor, residing at Kensal green, was charged with having
assaulted some constables of the S division. There
was also an allegation of indecent conduct made against
him.

The prisoner was, for the assault on the police, sen
for a month to the House of Correction.

James Clark, 1 ichard Prior, and Thomas Hobbs,
drivers of omnibuses, were severally charged by Mr.
Inspector Hunt, of the D division of police, with leaving
their boxes and standing in the Edgware-road longer
than necessary on Christmas-day last, opposite the Star
and Garter.

95 D proved the two first cases, and the defendants
Clark and Prior were each mulcted in the mitigated
penalty of five shillings. Hobbs escaping through the
circumstance of the officer who made out the summons
having mistaken the number of the omnibus.
Mr. Joseph Crawford, the proprietor of the above two-
penny omnibuses, complained of the proprietors of the
New-road and Paddington omnibuses being allowed to
remain three-quarters of an hour at their starting points,
while his men were pounced upon for stopping only nine
minutes, and that on Christmas day.
Mr. Inspector hunt stated that he served all alike, and
that he acted so in consequence of the inhabitants of the
surrounding district having made repeated complaints
about the nuisance occasioned by the omnibuses ob•
strutting the thoroughfares.
Mr. RAwLINso said he was there to exercise the
law, and could therefore grant no indulgence.
CLERKENWELL.
A young man, of most respectable appearance, named
William Whitelock, was brought up on, remand from last
Saturday, on the charge of embezzlement.
The brief facts of the case, as stated at the last exami-
nation, were as follows :—The prisoner had been in the
employment of Messrs. Cooper and Co., solicitors, of
Hatton-garden, and was entrusted on last Wednesday
with a cheque, for the purpose of calling at Somerset
House and paying the fees upon the usual annual license
fur solicitors, on account of a gentleman named Whittaker,
to whom Mr. Cooper was agent in London. Upon inquiries
being made of Mr. Whittaker and at Somerset House,
it was ascertained that the prisoner had never either
called at the Stamp. office nor forwarded any license to
Mr. Whittaker ; and some short time after he, having
returned to his office, was taxed with the fact, when he
acknowledged it to be true, and said he had unfor-
tunately been induced to expend the greater portion of
the money with which he was entrusted.
Mr. Cooper attended personally this day, and applied
to have the case adjourned, on the grounds of Mr. Whit-
taker being unable to come to London before Thursday.
The application was opposed on behalf of the prisoner,
because the charge would be left pending over him for
nearly a month, if not tried at the present Old Bailey
sessions.

Mr. COMBZ said he should remand the case until
Thursday, but at the same time he would accept bail for
his appearance, himself in 2001., and two sureties in 1001.
each.

Maria Earnersley and Mary Gibson were charged
with stealing a quantity of furniture, the property of
Sarah Anne Gibson.
It appeared that the two prisoners took lodgings at
the house of the prosecutrix, and on the second day,
about three o'clock in the morning, absconded, taking
away all the furniture upon which-they could lay thfir
hands, or which was at all portable.—Committed for
trial.
