MARYLEBONE.
Yesterday Mr. John Slog, Lanham was brought
up in custody at the instance of Mr. Collard, super-
intendent of the Great Western Railway Company's
police, on two charges, one of which was for mis-
conduct in a carriage, and the other for refusing to
deliver up his ticket when called upon to do so.
The witness in support of the first charge was Mr.
T. Byers, 7, Upper Lisson-street, Lisson-grove, who
deposed as follows :—Yesterday evening I, my boy,
and four friends, got into a second-class carriage by
the nine o'clock up-train, at West Drayton, when,
just as I was about to take my seat, defendant cried
out to me " You can't get in, there's no room ;" he also
was a passenger, and after I had mentioned to him
that there was quite room enough I sat down near
the end of the opposite seat ' • he abused me very much
by calling me a blackguard and using other foul lan-
guage ; and some ladies who were close to him be-
came much alarmed at his behaviour, thinking that
it might perhaps cause a fight ; one of them removed
over to the side where I was, owing to the defendant's
annoyance, and told him (defendant) that he ought
to be given in charge, upon which he immediately
stood up, and shaking his fist at her, exclaimed,
" I'll give you in charge, Madam." When the train
stopped at the place where the tickets are collected, I
stated the nature of his conduct to some of the offi-
cers, which I felt myself upon public grounds bound
to do, and he was ultimately locked up at the station-

house.
By defendant—lll swear that you called me a
blackguard. The lady who removed from your side
to mine said that you bud annoyed her for a long
while ; she wished to get out of the carriage when
the train stopped at Ealing.
Mr. ARNOLD asked if the lady alluded to was in
attendance ?
Mr. Collard replied in the negative.
Peter Dumas Broderick said, on the arrival of the
train at the ticket platform near the terminus I de-
manded of defendant his ticket; he seemed very much
exeitA, and alleged that some one had charged him
with an indecent ss.ault upon a lady. He held his
ticket in his hand, but would not give it to me. He
wanted to make a charge against some one else, and
I told him that he would have an opportunity of doing
80 if he thought fit. I gave him into the custody of
the guard, and on the train reaching its destination
he was taken, first before a sergeant, and afterwards
before Mr. Powell, the night superintendent at the
railway station, by whose direction he was given in

charge.
Phillips, the guard, corroborated the principal por-
tion of the latter witness's evidence.
By the defendant--The ladies wanted to alight at
the ticket platform, but I told them they need not
be alarmed, as you were in my charge. and I should
go on with you to the terminus. Neither of the
ladies made any charge against you when you got
out.
Mr. ARNOLD—Before you gave the defendant into
the custody of the night sergeant, did 'you ask him
for his name and address ? Witness—l did not, sir.
Mr. ARNOLD--Did you make any other charge
against him than that of refusing to give up his
ticket? Witness—No.
Mr. ARNOLD recalled Broderick, who said, " No
complaint as to any misconduct was made to me
except the refusal of delivering up the ticket."
Mr. ARNOLD, after reviewing the case in all its
bearings, came to the conclusion that with respect to
the " misconduct" alleged he could not deal with
that, as no charge of the kind was made against de-
fendant at the period of his being given into custody ;
as regarded the non-delivery of the ticket, it did not
appear that defendant had refused to give his name
and address ; on the contrary it had been clearly
shown that he was not asked for either before the
charge for non-delivery of the ticket was made. A
refusal after the demand would certainly have justified
the company's servants in detaining him Ad lucking
him up, and he would have rendered himself, under
one of the bye-laws, amenable to a penalty for his
offence. He must dismiss the complaints against the
defendant in the shape in which they had come before
him.
Mr. Collard said he should, no doubt, be able on a
future day to bring forward the lady who was in•
suited to prove clearly her case. He then applied
for two summons against defendant, one for mis-
conduct in the railway carriage, and the other for
refusing to deliver his ticket to the collector at the
platform.
The summons were both granted.
WORSHIP-STREET.

Yesterday Benjamin Daley, an elderly man, was
charged before Mr. Hammill with having threatened
the life of Mr. William Wilmot, a member of the
Stock Exchange, residing in Nichols-square, Hack-
ney-road, and also with having violently assaulted
Holland, the warrant-officer, who took him into
custody.
From the evidence of Mr. Wilmot it appeared that
about two years ago the prisoner, who was distantly
related to him, was offered a temporary asylum in his
house until he recovered from some slight indisposi-
tion under which he was labouring. The prisoner
thankfully accepted the offer, and immediately took
up his quarters there, but upon regaining his strength
did not exhibit the sUghtest indication of departing,
and upon hints of a somewhat positive nature becom-
ing' necessary and being ventured, he not only deci-
sivel7 refused to have, but declared that he had made
up his mind to remain where he was "as long as
there was a stick in the place." Witness and the
members of his family made various subsequent efforts
to get rid of such a strange and annoying incum-
brance, but without an approach to success, although
he had actually offered the prisoner, as an induce-
ment, to provide him with lodgings elsewhere for a
whole twelvemonth, and to pay all his expenses. The
prisoner was allowed to continue in this way until
Sunday last, hut he then conducted himself in such
an offensive and domineering manner, that it became
imperatively requisite to renew the endeavours to get
him awry, and they persuaded him to go quietly; but
he pertinaciously refused to do so, and significantly
told the witness that he had better drop that subject
altogether at once, "or he should certainly bullet
him ;" and feeling apprehensive, from his knowledge
of his violent temper, that he would carry his threats
into execution, he felt it necessary to apply to the
Magistrate for his protection.
Holland, the warrant-officer, stated, that on pro-
ceeding to the prosecutor's house and communicating
his business to the prisoner, with a request that he
would accompany him to the court, the prisoner re-
plied that he felt himself very comfortable where he
was, and that he should certainly do no such thing.
Witness told him that he must compel him to go if
he did not, but the prisoner treated the observation
with defiance, and, on the witness attempting to take
hiin into custody, seized hold :of him and flung him
with such violence to the ground that his leg was
seriously hurt by the stones ; when, finding it useless
to attempt the capture by himself, he was obliged to
dispatch the maid servant for a second officer, with
whose assistance at last they succeeded in getting
him out.
When called upon for his answer to the charge, the
prisoner entered into a lengthened defence, complain-
ing of his being turned out, and intimated that he had
not clearly understood the alleged proposition of the
prosecutor to provide him with other lodgings, or he
might have been induced, perhaps, to entertain it;
and that with regard to the threats, they were meant
for nothing but empty words, without any intention
of putting them in force.
Mr. Hamaitim, told the prisoner that he had made
a most ungrateful return for the kindness and hospi-
tality the prosecutor had shown him, and he should
therefore require him to enter into his own recog-
nizances in 401., and find two substantial securities in
20/. each, to keep the peace towards that gentleman
for the next six months ; and in addition to that, he
must pay a penalty of 20s. for the assault upon the
officer, or in default stand committed for a fortnight
to the House of Correction.
Neither the bail nor the money was found, and the
prisoner was therefore carried off in the van, but pro-
testing to the last against the hardship that was done
him.
SOUTHWARK.
John Noble, a well-dressed young man,was charged,
with breaking into the premises of Mr. William Gil-
pin, linendraper, of High-street, Southwark.
The complainant stated that about a quarter after
one o'clock that morning be was awakened by the
police, and informed that the front door was open ;
he, therefore, immediately proceeded down stairs,
and found that the house had been entered at the rear.
The entry had been effected by some person climbing
up a water-pipe at the side of his house fronting a
court, by which means access was had to the interior
by the window of the back first-floor room. The ware-
house was in a state of confusion, the articles being
taken from their proper places ready to be carried off,
but the thieves must have been disturbed, for none of
the property was carried off. He added that he also
found the shop door open, which must have been un-
fastened from the inside for the purpose of the retreat
of the thieves in case of a surprise, as well as to con
vey away the stolen property.
Policeman 240 M stated, that being on duty at the
time mentioned, in passing the complainant's shop, he
tried the door, as usual, to see that all was right, but
found it was ajar. He was in the act of pushing it
further open, when the prisoner rushed out and com-
menced running with great speed to wards Union-
street, when lie was secured. The prisoner when
taken said that ho was a respectable tradesman, and
threatened to proceed against those persons who had
taken him into custody.
In reply to Mr. SECKER, the policeman said he was
confident that he never lost sight of the prisoner from
the moment he rushed out of the complainant's shop
until he was taken into custody in Union-street.
,vi'l;a-st !Tel, ,rne !h-t
man, and that tie saw the prisoner, when running from
the house, drop the large black bag now produced op-
posite the Half Moon Inn, in the Borough.
Martin Gray stated, that be is A desk, and that as

he was walking home he nearll Li F---
and saw the prisoner running towards-Union-street.
The moment he t round the corner of that street the
prisoner made of ull stop and stood up by the side of
one of the houses defying witness to appro. il, and
threatening to knock him down if he interfered with
him. He was overpowered, nowever, by the olice-
men, and taken to the station-house.
A policeman produced a small flat h

ass-
den lie prisoner said he was returning home to
TownCam-
from the Surrey Theatre, a.nd that in PAO"
ing along Union-street he was seized and taken to
the station-house. He added, that he knew nothing
of the offence with which he was charged until at the
t.stiilation-house, and that for his unwarrantable deten;
, there he intended to adopt proceedings flair%
those who were mistaken in his identity, and ha
. ,
given3,i evidence against him.
r. SEcKEa said that he should commit the Prl:
loner for trial, and that if he was acquitted on the
evidence adduced, he could then adopt proceeding
against the parties of whom he complained.
