1V UNSHIP- STREET.

A tall young man, having the appearance of a decent
mechanic, who gave the name of Henry Harris, which is
known to be assumed, was brought before Mr. Grove, upon
a charge of having unlawfully obtained certain legal docu-
ments under false and fraudulent pretences.
The case excited unusual Interest, and numerous Char-
tists, whose interests, it will be found, were materially in-
volved in it, crowded the Court.

Mr. Henry Boyden Roberts, the solicitor for the pro-
secutors, stated that he had been employed to defend
certain Chartists, who were under prosecution for having
taken part in an alleged illegal meeting at Bethnal-green,
and, to enable hint to prepare their several pleas, copies of
the intended depositions of their witnesses had been made
at his offices, which were afterwards sent to *c witnesses
for perusal. The trials were to have come on in
the ensuing Sessions, but they had been very recently
removed by certiorari into the Court of Queen's Bench.
The charge he had to prefer against the person was that
of having gene round to those witnesses, and under the
false represeteation that he had been sent to him (Mr.
Roberts) of having applied for those depositions, in one
instance successfully. He considered the prisoner to
be a tool in the hands of some evil-disposed perso as who
wished to deprive the accused of their means of defence,
and to defeat the ends of justice. The Learned Gtentlo •
man then called witnesses to prove the charge, whey
Mr. GROVE, the Magistrate, committed the prisoner for
obtaining a clocumeitt under false pretences.

The Perth election takes place on Thursday
next ; polling, if gone into, on Friday and Saturday.

impression, that the Metropolitan Anti-Corn-law Association

Mr. A. W. Paulton delivered a Lecture on the
Corn-laws, at the Jamaica Tavern, Bermondsey, on T hursday
night. The large hall was crowded with a most respectable and
intelligent audience, who manifested, by their deep attent ion and
the frequent plaudits, their sympathy with the Lecturer's views.
Mr. Redmond was called to the chair. An individual of the
name of Emmett frequently interrupted the lecturer in the
course of his observations. and was challenged by Mr. Sidney
Smith to a public discussion. Seeing that this was mot as•
sented to, the Chairman called Mr. Emett to the platform
to discuss the matter on the spot. The gentleman accin•dingly
appeared, and attempted to maintain the old fallacy, that the
price of, bread regulated the wages of labour ; but he was
laughed down by the common sense of the meeting. • Mr.
Smith addressed the audience at the conclusion of the Lec-
ture, and the thanks of the meeting- were most enthusiasti-
cally carried to Mr. Paulton and himself A great number
pressed forward to sign the petition for total and immediate
repeal of the Corn-laws, and the meeting broke up with three
deafening cheers for the abolition of the bread tax, and three
groans for Mr. Emmett.
