ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
NORTHERN ClRCUlT—Liverpool, August 16.
(Before the CHIEF BARON.)
Margaret King, a young woman twenty-four years of
age, was indicted for throwing boiling water over John
King. her husband, with intent to maim him.
Mr. Wheeler conducted the prosecution. The prisoner
was not defended by counsel.
The prosecutor and his wife resided, it appeared, at
Heaton Norris, and lived very unhappily together, in
consequence, as it seemed, of the misconduct of the pro.
secutor is respect of other women, and his brutal ill
treatment of his wife. It appeared that on the night in
question the prosecutor was met at the top of the street
where he resided, in company with two women, by his
wife and a f,male friend, who both pressed him to go to
his home. His wife took hold of his coat, on which he
became very violent, ar.d kicked the woman who was
with her. He came to his own house, however, about
nine o'clock. The prisoner was then in the street. The
prosecutor, on reaching home and not finding his wife
there, used, it appeared, the most brutal threats respect-
ieg her, and threw her shawl on the fire, where it was
consumed. The prosecutor went to bed about half past
ten o'clock. The prisoner had in the mean time come
to the house, but remained in the yard, afraid to en-
counter his violence. A neighbour had asked her to
come into their house and remain there all night, but
she refused. At a later period of the night the
people in the same house, who had retired to rest,
were alarmed by frightful screams issuing from
the prosecutor's apartments. On rushing down
stairs they found him standing in the lobby complaining
that he was burned, a qauntity of hot water having been
thrown over his naked person while in bed, an attempt
alio having been made to fasten him down to the bed by
tying him to the bedposts. A candlestick and a pan with
some hot water in it, which, when full, would hold seve-
ral quarts, were found on the stairs. The back door of
the house was open.
It appeared the prosecutor was very seriously burned,
and was for some time in considerable danger.
The prisoner had in a previous part of the evening
been told that her husband had been sitting on a bed in
a house in the neighbourhood with a Mrs. Corrigan,
between whom and himself an improper intimacy was
supposed to exist. lie was unlacing her boots. On
being informed of this she said he should not do so the
next night. She was also told, after he had gone to
bed, that on his coming home ho wanted some supper,
on which she said he should have a supper and a warm

one.
The prisoner, on being asked what she had to say in
her de'ence, gave a frightful account of the brutality
with which she had been treated by her husband, who,
besides personal abuse, had, outraged her feelings in
every way by his conduct towards his paramour, even in
her presence.
Verdict—Guilty.
Sentence deferred.
The COURT was engaged the greater part of' the day
in trying a class of cases the particulars of which are not
fit for publication.
Mr. Sergeant MURPHY presided in the grand jury
room, and disposed of a number of the less important
cases in the calendar.
(Before Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN.)
A great number of causes were disposed of in the
course of the day, a large proportion of which, however,
were withdrawn, the parties, it is supposed, being taken
by surprise from the early period at which the court has
arrived at a stage in the list seldom reached until the
seventh or eighth day of the assizes. Those tried in the
course of the day were generally of the most uninterest-
ing kind. At the close of to-day's proceedings about
seventy causes in all had been disposed of from the com-
mencement of the assizes.
BARFF v. ROWLAND AND WIFE.
This was au action on an annuity bond.
Mr. Martin and Mr. Tomlinson were for the plaintiff;
and Mr. Unthauk for the defendant.
Mr. MARTIN, in opening the case, stated that the cir-
cumstances were of a kind which, he was happy to say,
but rarely occurred. The plaintiff was a very elderly
lady, who had been for forty years a widow, her hus-
band having been for a long time in a situation of trust
with Sir Watkin Wynn. On his death he left a son,
John Barff, then very young, to the care of his wife, the
present plaintiff. When he had reached the age of about
eighteen years he became anxious to take a farm, and
his mother, the plaintiff, advanced to him, for
the purpose of assisting him in this, about
200!., a sum which, by a long course of economy,
she had managed to accumulate. She resided
with her son upon the farm. Some time after, how-
ever, he got married to one Hannah Rogers, and Mrs.
Barff, the elder, then removed to another residence,
taking a portion of her furniture with her, but leaving
the bulk of it at her son's. John Barff died shortly
after, and his wife administered to his estate. Mrs.
Barff did not wish to disturb the arrangement which had
been made, and was willing not to press her claim for
the debt owing from her son, or to enforce her rights to
the stock and furniture, in consideration of a small an-
nuity, and accordingly she accepted a bend to secure an
annuity of 12/ per annum for her life. Mrs. John Barff
subsequently married Mr. Rowland, and the annuity
was for some time regularly paid, but that payment had
been discontinued, and a sum of 70!. or 80!. was now due,
to enforce the payment of which Mrs. Barff had been
obliged to have recourse to law. It was now sought to
defeat Mrs. Barff's just claim by alleging that no me-
morial had been filed in the Court of Chancery of the
granting of this annuity, in compliance with the terms of
the statute ; but he believed that defence would not
avail. The statute in question was meant to check the
usury which had, .been practised under the cloak of
granting annuities, by which a masa ',vas tontebled, by -
obtaining, in consideration of the payment of a sum cer-
tain, an annuity on favourable terms, to insure the life of
the grantor, and thus, in reality, to convert his advance
into a loan, paying him a per centage far beyond that
allowed by the law. The statute therefore was passed
requiring the filing of a memorial in the Court of Chan-
cery truly setting out the considerations for which the
annuity was purchased. lie submitted to the Court,
however, that this statute did not apply in a case like the
present, where the annuity was given in consideration of
an antecedent, debt.
It finally appearing that the whole case turned on this
point of law, it was finally agreed a verdict should be
entered for the plaintiff, with liberty to the defendant to
move to enter a verdict.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
Yesterday, George Jackson, 20, was indicted for steal-
ing a purse, containing five sovereigns and some silver,
the property of Jerome de Mattee.
Mr. Ballantino defended the prisoner.
The charge was clearly brought home to the accused.
He was on board one of the steam-boats on the River,
when a passenger abserved him to go up to the prose-
cutor and deliberately take his purse from his pocket.
An alarm was immediately given, and on the prisoner
being charged with the offence he was seen to throw the
purse into the River.
He was convicted, and sentenced to be transp3rted for
seven years.
Richard Close, 24, labourer, was indicted for stealing
a quantity of iron rails, the property of the Great
Northern Railway Company.
Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Bodkin conducted tho prose-
cution. .

T. S. DUNCOMBE, ESQ., M.P,

Mr. Duncombe has addressed the following letter
to the editor of the Leeds Mercury:—
" Spring-gardens, August 12, 1847.
"My dear Sir,—My brother informs me of the
kind interest you are good enough to take in the re-
ports of the state of my health, for which I most
sincerely thank you. I wish it was in my power to
say that those reports were not only exaggerated, but
altogether unfounded. The fact is, I have been suf-
fering for many weeks past from an affection of the
lungs, which has confined me to my bed for some
days. My medical men assure me, however, that at
present no organic disease exists, and that change of
air and rest will set me up again. I hope soon to be
well enough to go into Yorkshire, though it is proba-
ble I shall be compelled to winter in a more genial
climate. I was advised to discontinue my attend-
ance in the House some time before its close, but I
unluckily did not heed the advice ; hence this mischief.
" It has been a great disappointment to me to
have been unable to take any active part in the
recent general election, all exertion of the lungs hav-
ing been prohibited; but I have observed with plea-
sure, and congratulate you on the result, the earnest-
ness and the independence with which the great
Nonconforming community throughout the country
have asserted their principles, and vindicated the in-
sults offered them by the happily now departed Par-
liament. In the new you will require no humble
individual like myself to implore the House or the
Government to grant you an Uppuz
before a Committee your conscientious objections and
valuable estimates o the cost and corruptions of their
new-fangled schemes of State education, as I am glad
to perceive you have succeeded in returning many
men competent to fight the battle of Voluntaryism
on the floor of the House itself, though in the list of
new Members I grieve to find the names of
and omitted.

It appeared that a large quantity of iron rails had
been manufactured at the works of Messrs. Bayley, in
Wales, for the use of the above company, and they had
been placed in a field near Islington prior to the com-
mencement of the
.iline, and it would seem that a most
wholesale system of depredation had been
practisedproperty, for in the open day vans and
cats, a
vehicles
of all descriptions were em-
p
loyed in removing it, and in the result it turned out
r n du,andpio nn fta dhcae:,
that no less than five tons' weight of rails had been
stolen. The only question in the case was, whether the
prisoner was one of the persons who so illegally removed
the property.
The evidence as to his identity was not conclusive, and
the jury therefore returned a verdict of Not Guilty.
There were some other indictments against the pri-
soner, but no evidence was offered upon them, and he
was consequently acquitted upon the whole of the
charges.
James Coehlin, 26, was then charged with stealing a
quantity of iron rails, the property of the same company.
The evidence was the same as in the former case, and
the prisoner was clearly identified as being one of the
persons engaged in the illegal transaction.
The jury found he Guilty, and he was shown to have
been twice before convicted of felony.
The RECORDER sentenced him to be transported for
years.

CHELMSFORD irl.•_t7Tv Q]mooxviNS.
August 13:
Emma Robinson, a girl about 14 years of age, was
charged with stealing a pair of silver spectacles and a
child's frock and skirt from Benjamin Stock, at Orsett
hamlet.

" I trust that the organization and co-operation
you have so successfully established will not be al-
lowed to hastily disappear, but that every succeeding
year will impart to it new energies, and so augment
its numbers as to prepare it for all future contingen-
cies, whether electoral or ministerial. As I write in
bed, pray excuse this scrawl, and believe me,
" My dear Sir, yours faithfully,
" THOS. S. DUNCOMBE."
" To E. Baines, Esq., jun."

It appeared, that on Sunday, August 1, the prosecutor
had been reading, and laid the spectacles upon the book,
when his wife removed them to the window-sill of ano-
ther room. Shortly after they were missed, with some
child's clothing, taken from the kitchen. Prosecutor,
next morning went to the Chelmsford union-house, of
which the prisoner had been heard to make inquiries,
and told his suspicions to John Burningham, the porter,
who had the vagrants examined ; but nothing was found.
Upon a second search, when they were all dressed, the
spectacles wore found in the prisoner's pocket, and the
clothing in the possession of a little girl she had with
her. It:was
proved by witnesses that she was seen in the
neighbourhood on the day in question.
The prisoner was then charged with stealing Rosa
Farr, a pretty little child, 3 years of age, from No. 1,
Wilton-place, Knightsbridge.
Mary Farr, the child's mother, deposed that she is a
widow with five children, now living in Cha.pel•street,
Westminster, but formerly at No. 1, Wilton-place. On
the 11th of July she was with her children in Hyde-
park, where, in consequence of a family quarrel, she
stayed all night; next morning, having occasion to go
into the city, she left them in the care of their eldest
sister, the prisoner. whom she had known for a short
time, being with them; anon her return, after the lapse
of about four hours, her daughter Rosa, the child now
produced, could not be found, and, all search proving
futile, she caused bills to In circulated through London,
announcing its loss. No tidings were heard of it till
the beginning of this month, when, from information
received,
she requested her brother, Mr. John Hyde, to
come to Chelmsford. and he identified the child.
She came from London this morning, and had seen the
child, which she knew to be hers, in the care of the
matron of the prison.
Mr. HasELFooT inquired if the little girl could talk,
and said he was surprised it had never betrayed the
prisoner.

MONEY MARKET.—The premium on gold at Paris
is 10 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of
3/. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex-
change of 25 40 ; and the exchange at Paris on London
at short being 25 35, it follows that gold is 0.20 per
cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advice► from
flamburgh the price of gold is 434 per mark, which at
the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for
standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 9A- ; and the ex-
change at liamburgh on London at short being 13 101,
it follows that gold is 0.46 per cent. dearer in London
than in Ifatnburgh. The course of exchange
at New York on London is 1051 per cent. ;
and the --par of exchange between England and
America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows
that the exchange is 4.08 per cent. against England.
But the quoted exchange at New York being for bills
at 60 days' sight, the interest must be deducted frein
the above difference.

CURIOUS PATENTS.—Among the latest list of
patents is to be found one of a very curious nature, and
thus described;—" An invention of making paper for
the building of houses, bridges, ships, boats, and all sorts
of wheel carriages, sedan chairs, chairs, tables. and book •
eases, either entirely of paper, or wood and iron covered
with paper.'' lii the same list there is mentioned a pa-
tent for " roasting
fowls, &c., horizontally and vertically"--" on a mathe-
matical principle." great number of joints of meat,

The child Was here given into the arms of its parent,
whom it most fondly embraced and kissed with the
greatest apparent delight and affection.

• A double return.

THE suNr• iiONDONI WEDNESDAY EVENGUST 18, 184 Y.

, .
Sarah Cornell, of West Hanningfield, said that on the
Ist of August prisoner went to her house ytith the little
girl, and asked for a draught of water; and in answer
to her questions as to the parentage of the child, pri-
soner said it belonged to her mother, who had ab-
scended from her at Brentwood, and that she was going
to Colchester, where she heard her mother was staying.
Frances Halls, the matron of the prison, said that
when admitted with the prisoner, the child was in a
shocking state of filth, and bore marks of ill-treatment,
the body being greatly bruised. From the general ap•
pearance of the child, she feared it had been stolen, and
inquired of the prisoner whose it was, when she at first
said it was her mother's, and subsequently that it be-
longed to her cousin, who was dead, and that it was
kept by her mother. These answers strengthening her
suspicions, she brought the matter under the notice of
Mr. Neale, who submitted the case to the ♦isiting ma-
gistrates, and steps were taken to discover the parent.
Great surprise was expressed at the commission of
so unnatural a crime by one so young, and the prisoner,
who declined making any defence, was committed for
trial upon both charges.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
Yesterday James Barrymore, and Mary Ann, his sis-
ter, were charged with felony under the following cir-
cumstances :
The male prisoner was a watchman on the extensive
premises of Messrs Moses and Co., tailors, of Aldgate.
The manager, however, observed that the watchman
required to be looked after himself, and detected him in
removing a waistcoat from a spot in which it had been
concealed. This led to an investigation, and at the
watchman's lodgings were found as many as 131
duplicates of articles which the manager swore to as
the property of the firm. Subsequently the young
woman, who resided with her brother, was apprehended
as a particeps criminis upon the evidence of the assis-
tants of pawnbrokers where she had pledged some of the
goods. _

The female prisoner solemnly declared that she
never supposed that the articles, which she admitted
she had pledged for her brother, had been obtained
dishonestly.
James Barrymore made no defence, and did not deny
the accuracy of any one of the charges of robbery.
Mr. Bozon, for the female prisoner, submitted that a
jury would never give a verdict against a person in her
situation, without much more conclusive evidence of a
guilty knowledge than the pawning of a few of the arti-
cles proved.
The Loan MAyon said it was unreasonable to suppose
that the young woman could have known that her brother
who was a watchman at the prosecutor's establishment,
could be possessed of some of the stock without having
used some unssnctioned contrivance for the purpose.
As the pawnbrokers came forward to give evidence, Mr.
Goodman, the chief clerk, asked each of them whether
it was his intention to give up the goods pawned at his
shop without being obliged to go to the Central Criminal
Court to have them formally sworn to and demanded ?
A few of the witnesses replied in the affirmative.
Those pawnbrokers who had lent considerable sums
upon the goods said they would willingly give them up
to the prosecutor if he consented to pay half of the
money they had advanced, and complained of the great
severity with which they considered they were fre-
quently treated, when it was quite impossible for them
to suspect that the parties charged were delinquents.
Mr. Hockley Wood, of Corbet-court, who conducted
the various prosecutions, said he had, in his wish to save
the public the expense, induced Mr. Moses to be satified
with one or two prosecutions, but as the pawnbrokers
were determined not to give up the stolen goods without
going to perform that ceremony at the Central Criminal
Court, it became certainly matter of public concern to
give them that alternative. With respect to the female
prisoner there existed no intention to join her in the
charges until it was found that the number of cases in
which she was involved became an unanswerable argu-
ment of her guilty knowledge.
The LORD MAYOR said he was of Mr. Wood's opinion,
that the two prisoners must go before a jury.
The prisoners were then committed for trial.
The indefatigable Joseph Ady seems to gain fresh
vigour from every exposure. The Loan MAYOR caused
much amusement in the course of the day, by reading
some correspondence which he had just received upon
the subject of the old Quaker's tricks.
The following answer was sent by a gentleman to Ady,
who had transmitted to him one of the well-known cir-
culars offering information worth hundreds for the
small sum of twenty shillings:—
" Winchester-street, Old Broad-street.
" Sir,—ln reply to your note, I have had some expe-
rience myself in cases like the one you offer me, and the
parties have always been satisfied with an undertaking
that a per tentage shall be allowed on the amount re.
covered. Upon these terms lam ready to agree with
you—viz., 10 per cent.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant,
" Joseph Ady, Esq." " J. W. WELCH.
Next day Mr. Welch received back his letter to
Joseph Ady, Esq., with the following little comment at
the end of it, in the well-known handwaiting of the dis-
penser of unclaimed dividends:—
" M. W.—So used I to do, but met with so many un-
faithful promisers that I could not live, as I abhor all
lawsuits, and am too old (73) to run after my debtors.
Consequently I have gone into partnership with a person
who brings knowledge into the concern, and a resolution
neither to give or take credit, and he is a person who
prefers twenty shillings in hand to any promise what-
ever.—Respectfully,
" Mr. Welch." " J. ADY.
In another letter which his Lordship received from a
-vicar and prebendary, the rev. correspondent bitterly
complained of the conduct of Ady in sending to his wife
one of the lithographed circulars, stating that her hus-
band had embarked in a most dangerous undertaking,
and that on the receipt of 20s. the writer would point out
the disease and the remedy. To that letter was annexed
the following postscript, to which the writer claimed the
attention of the lady :
" One of the bishops was in a similar case. He paid
my fee, took my advice, and escaped unscathed.
" Go thou and do likewise.—Respectfully,
" J. ADY."
The LORD MAYOR, in alluding to the labours of Mr.
Ady, said, that he had good reason for believing that the
press had nearly brought these labours to a close, as the
partnership indicated an alliance that promised to be
fatal to the business.

GUILDHALL.
Yesterday a person, who refused to give his name or
address, but whose name was said to be Jarvis, was
charged with taking indecent liberties with some boys on
Blackfriars-bridge, at three o'clock on Monday afternoon.
A boy was examined, and his evidence was corrobo-
rated by Policeman Drew No. 374.
Mr. Wolff stated that his client was a gentleman of
high classical attainments, and he maintained that the
charge was fabricated by the officer. If it were not so,
there would have been other witnesses.
Mr. Alderman JOHNSON remanded the prisoner
Friday.

taining the chest and other effects of a mariner named
Samuel Brooks.

It appeared from the evidence of the complainant that
he had lately been paid:off from the ship Hercules, and
arrived in this port on Friday, the 30th of July, and was
taken by the defendant to his house, where his chest
was also taken. On the Monday following he received
his wages, and the defendant brought him in debt 2/. Bs.,
including 14s. for board and lodging, although he had
only partaken of two meals in the house, and had never
slept there at all. He objected to pay more than 30F.,
and the defendant had ever since detained his chest,
which contained some clothes and other property, for
the balance. He had obtained another ship, and wanted
to proceed to sea. The defendant had imposed on ano-
ther shipmate in a similar manner, and he had gone to
sea without his chest.

The defendant, who ought to have appeared to the
summons on Saturday, but obtained a postponement,
again wished the case to I4e further postponed, on the
ground that his solicitor was out of town and his IN it-
nesses were absent ; but

Mr. YARDLEY refused to adjourn the case, and said
the defendant speculated on the complainant going to
sea, and thought he would screw anything out of seamen
with impunity ; but he would put a stop to such gross
proceedings if he coul 1, and prevent the infamous prac-
tice of imposing upon mariners by detaining their pro-
perty as they were on the eve of going to sea.
The defendant then put in a bill for 2/. 45., including
14s. for board and lodging, which the sailor declared was
not owing. He (the sailor) had already paid Abbott
305., and allowed him for twelve pots of beer, although
he had only drunk six. He smoked his own tobacco,
but the defendant charged him for it notwithstanding.
Mr. YARDLEY said he could not allow the 14s. The
sailor had already paid more than he owed.
The defendant again urged an adjournment.
Mr. YARDLEY--I will do no such thing. I know
what you speculate on. You calculate on the law's
delay. You thought he would be at sea, like the other
sailor ; and I am glad he is not gone, for it enables me
to make an example of you, to deter others from com-
mitting similar frauds. You knew the necessity of the
complainant going to sea, and thought you would exact
what you liked.
The defendant then urged that the chest and its con-
tents had been seized for rent, and called a broker, who
swore that he distrained upon the chest for fourteen
shillings rent due for a room let to the complainant. Ile
(the broker) then put in his inventory, and said he
charged three shillings for the levy, and 2s. 6d. for a
man in possession.

On being closely interrogated by the magistrate, he
said he seized the chest in an eating-room, not in a bed-
room; the seizure was made for rent only, not for board
and lodging.
Mr. YARDLEY said the defence was the most flimsy
one he had ever heard. The defendant charged fourteen
shillings for board and lodging, and the broker, whose
seizure was illegal, swore he made a seizure for rent
only. He would check such gross impositions on sailors,
and put the Act, which was a most wholesome one, in
force. He ordered the defendant ;to restore the chest
and its contents to the seaman, or to pay thirty shillings,
the alleged value of it, and sentenced him, in addition, to
pay a sum of 104; and, in default of doing so, to be com-
mitted to the House of Correction for three months and
kept to hard labour.
Abbott was sent away in the prison van.
SOUTHWARK.

Yesterday Josiah Benn, a seaman belonging to the
Gorgon steam-frigate, was brought before Mr. Cotting-
ham, charged with assaulting and threatening to stab
Eliza Shearwood.

The complainant, a young woman, stated that she had
been living with the prisoner under promise of marriage,
and that a few days ago he came from on board ship,
threw himself into a passion when he entered her dwel-
ling, and commenced breaking all the furniture and
crockery in the place ; and that when she interposed to
save some:of her goods from destruction, he pulled out a
clasp-knife and threatened to stab her, previously to
which, however, he beat and kicked her in the most sa-
vage manner.
The prisoner, a very powerful man, said, that six
weeks ago he was paid off from a man-of-war, and re-
ceived 1701., all of which money he had expended in her
company, and now that he was " run aground," she
wanted to " shove him adrift ;" and that, if he did
break the furniture, it was his own money, at all events,
that paid for it. He added, that although he pulled
out the knife, he did not intend to use it against her.
The complainant said that the prisoner had squandered
away his money in dissipation since ke came ashore, and
that it was untrue to assert that she was the cause of his
present condition.
Mr. COTTINGHAM severely censured the violent con-
duct of the prisoner towards the complainant, and said
that he had disgraced the character of a British seaman
in the way he acted towards her. He (the Magistrate)
should therefore adjudge him, not only to find good
bail to keep the peace, but also to pay for the property
he had destroyed.
In reference to the case of the young man Killerby,
charged with writing letters threatening the life of
Elizabeth Spriggs, the Magistrate, instead of summarily
disposing of it, d erred it necessary, for the ends of public
justice, to commit him for trial for the felony, a former
conviction for a similar offence being recorded against
. . .

him. The Act under which the offffeii-ce with which the

man is accused is laid only passed on the 9th ult., en-
titled " An Act for extending the provisions of the Law
respecting Threatening Letters," and enacts, " that if
any person shall knowingly send or deliver, or utter to
any other person, any letter or writing threatening to
kill or murder any other person, or to burn or destroy
any house, barn, or other building, or any rick or stack
of grain, hay, or straw, or other agricultural produce,
or shall knowingly procure, counsel, aid, or abet the
commission of the said offences, he shall be guilty of
felony, and being convicted thereof shall be liable, at
the discretion of the Court, to be transported beyond
the seas for life, or for any term not less than seven

years, or to be imprisionjd, with or without hard la-
bour, for any term not less than seven years, or to be
imprisoned, with or without hard labour, for any term
not exceeding four years, and, if a male, to be once,
twice, or thrice publicly or privately whipped (if the
Court shall think fit), in addition to such imprison•
ment."

Mr. COTTINGUAM, in reply to an application made
on the part of the complainant to have the case summa-
rily disposed of, to prevent the necessity of prosecuting
at the sessions, said that as the prisoner had been pre-
viously tried and convicted, and had repeated the
offence, he was bound to send him again before a jury,
under the provisions of the above Act, and that in the

event of his being found guilty, the Judge would have
it iu his power to award such a punhhtnent as would

effectually put a stop to the prisoner's dangerous con.
duct.

WES7'MINSTER.

Yesterday two well•dressed persons, described as
William Smith, of 22, Aldprsgate-street, and James
Williams, of 54, Cheapside, " gentlemen," were brought
before Mr. Broderip, charged with striking and insult-
ing Mr. John Mansfield, proprietor of Oliver's Hotel,
Bridge-street, Westminster.
The prisoners it appeared were drunk, and conducted
themselves most offensively. They were ordered to find
bail to answer the charge at the sessions, Williams in
20.1, and the other in 50/.
Bail was immediately put in.
