PAST AND PRESENT CONDITION OF THE

PEOPLE.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(FRIDAY.)
NEW COURT.
(Before the COMMON SERGEANT.) •
Ann Halton was indicted for stealing five spoons, 000 coat,
one -pair of trowsers, one shawl, and ether articles, value 171.,
the property of William Henry Bailey, her master, and Emeline
Halton, her sister, was charged with receiving the same,
knowing them to be stolen.
The prosecutor deposed that on the 6:h of July he missed
the articles named in the indictment, and gave the prisoner into
custody:
Police constable 10 G proved to taking the primer Emeline
into custody, in John's-row, St. Luke's, .with some of the stolen
property in her possession.
Ihe prisoner here became excessively violent, and, pulling
off her shoe, flung it across at the constable, who was stand-
ing in the witness-box, calling him, at the same time, a--

lying rogue. •
The COMMON SERGEANT said, he did not think the case of
feloniously receiving to be made out against Eineline Halton ;
he should, therefore, order her to be discharged. The sen-
tence of the Court on Ann was, that she be imprisoned and
kept to hard labour for six months.
John Phillips, and Ellen his wife, were indicted for steal-
ing several articles of household furniture, the property of John
Proud.
It appeared from the evidence, that on the 4th of August a
distress was put into the prosecutor's premises, and the male
prisoner was appointed to act as broker or keeper, and in that
capacity stole the articles named.
The Commow SERGEANT in addressing the prisoner, John
Phillips, after the Jury had returned a verdict of Guilty, said
that the fact of the capacity in which the prisoner acted ren-
dered his crime of the blackest hue. He should therefore, for
the protection of the poorer and more distressed Classes who
were subjectto the mercy of persons in the pri.oner's situation,
deem it his duty to make a severe example of him. He
should sentence him to seven years' transportation.
John Gosling and William Brooks were indicted for steal-
ir.g a purse, containing half•a- crown, from the person of Mary
Fitzpatrick.
It appeared by the evidence that all the parties were drink-
ing together in a public-house in Clare-market at the time the
robbery was committed.
The Jury, having returned a verdict of Guilty, the Court
sentenced Gosling to two months', and Brooks to one month's
imprisonment au hard labour.
Sarah Cole, a poor and sickly looking female, veith a -tittld-
in her arms, was indicted for stealing a pewter pot, value 15.6 d.,
the property of John Hanson.
'I he prosecutor said he was the proprietor of a public-house
in High -street, Kensington, and suspecting the prisoner, he
caused a policeman to search her lodgings, where the pot was
found.
The constable in addition said that he found some lead
melted down.
The prisoner in her defence said she got the pot with some
porter a few days before at the prosecutor's house.
'the Jury. after some consultation, recalled the prosecutor,
who, in reply to a question, said the prisoner had been in the
habit of taking beer from his house, and that on such occasions
ha allowed her to take it in one of his pots.
A verdict of Guilty having been returned, the prisoner was
sentenced to two months' imprisonment, and bard labour.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE,
MANSION-HO USE.
The Commissioners of Sewers having caused on Tues-
day one of the clothes' dealers in the oru " clothes" mar-
ket in
,C utl er-street, Houndsditch, to be charged,with hav-
ing obstructed their constables in the execution of the
duty of preventing the multitude from assembling in that
place, and the Lord Mayor having inflicted a penalty
for the offence, it was supposed that the market was at
an end. The calculation, however, was erroneous. A
complete and vigorous resistance to the authority of the
Commissioners has been the consequence.
Yesterday Mr. Tyrrell, the Solicitor to the Commis-
sioners of Sewers, attended before the Lord Mayor to
complain against three clothes-dealers, who not only re-
fused to quit the spot, but urged others to proceed with
the sale and exchange of old clothes in the usual way.
Mr. Wire, of the firm of Wire and Child, and Mr.
Isaacs, attended for the defendants, young men of re-
spectable appearance. •
Mr. Tyrrell stated that notwithstanding the infliction
of the penalty of 10s. upon the former defendant for the
violation of the law, the dealers assembled and showed a
determination to carry on business in the teeth of the au-
thorities. The defendants had, in a very deliberate man-
ner, broken the law, and he should therefore, as he should
en all future occasions, go for the whole of the penalties,
2t each.
Mr. Wire pleaded that his clients must either transact
their business in Cutler-street, or the Corporation of
London must procure some place for them to which they
could transfer it, for it was quite impossible that
they could submit to the alternative of starving. It
was a question also, not only whether the Lord
Mayor had any jurisdiction, but whether there was not a
sort of prescriptive right upon the part of the dealers.
But it would be easy enough to come to an arrangement,
if the thing were not pushed on with so much impe-
tuosity. If the Commissioners of Sewers would give a
couple of hundred pounds, and the Lord Mayor would
suggest to the corporation to give a similar sum, the
wealthy Jews would, in all probability, make up the
difference, and erect a building in which the business of
these poor men could be carried on without annoyance to
any individuals whatsoever.
Mr. Tyrrell then stated that liensould consent to the
discharge of the defendants until Attorney-General's
opinion should be procured.
The justice-room was crowded by those who were
interested in the question. The part of the city in which
the market is held has been in a state of the wildest con-
fusion during the whole week.

GUILDHALL.
On Wednesday last, Mr. Yates, and thirteen other
gentlemen, who are shareholders in the Union Flint
Glass Company, appeared at this office before Sir P. •
Laurie, in order to make statements of complaint of the
conduct of the Directors of the Company, and to ask
the advice of the Magistrate as to the course they should
purque, in order to prevent the Directors from causing
them to incur further responsibility.
• On Saturday Mr. Morris, the Chairman of the Direc-
tors of the Company ; Mr. Reynolds, the Deputy Chair-
man. • Mr. Wilson, the • Secretary ; Messrs. Glover,
' Cheese and Reynolds,' Directors, attended before Sir
James Duke, with Mr. Horry, the barrister, and Mr. D.
Wire, the solicitor to the Company, to complain of the
statements made against the Directors. After the ordi-
dinary business had been dispatched, the party adjourned
to the private room, when the worthy Alderman stated
that he thought the business upon which the gentlemen
had met was not one for magisterial decision.
Mr. Wilson said that a report of the previous applica-
tion had been published in the Times and other journals,
which was not only untrue in nearly all its parts, but
likely to make an unfavourable impression against,the
Directors.
Sir J. DUKE suggested that it would be better for the
matter to stand over until Monday, when they could meet
Sir Peter Laurie, who had heard the complaint in the
first instance, and who he was certain would give it his
best attention. It would be improper for him (Sir J.
Duke) to adjudicate upon a matter which had been heard
.exparte by another Magistrate. •
Mr. Wire said the Directors had been maligned un- .
justly, for instead of acting in the waystated, every step
they had taken was with the view to the benefit of the
shareholders. One falsehood stated was, that the princi-
pal Director had left the.country, and it was added, that
there was only one of the Board of Management who was
a monied man, whereas there was one gentleman now in
the room who could pay more than all the liabilities of
the Company, which was a bona fide one, and not of the
description represented. The Directors had not ex-
ceeded their estimates, which had been tested by a
competent gentleman conversant with the glass trade,
and reported to be such as to ensure an ultimate
profit for the money embarked in the speculation.
The Directors had no wish to bring an action against the
' papers, but they thought that the proprietors sould be
' called upon to give a negative statement through the
same vehicle as early as possible, and the sooner that was
done the better.

A Director said that the traducers knew, before they
- -

left Bromley, that the Magistrate had no power to ad,
but they said they would apply, in order that their
statement should appear in the public newspapers. The
Directors were willing Sir Peter Laurie should sec all
their transactions, and arbitrate between them and the
shareholders; they did not wish to conceal a single trans-
action. The gentlemen then withdrew," upoh an Under-
standing that they were to have an interview with Sir
Peter Laurie in the early part of the week.

LAMBETH-STREET.

After the night charges had .been disposed of, Thomas
Sterne and Elizabeth his wife were placed at the bar
before the Hon. G. C. Norton, and charged with being
concerned in a wholesale system of plunder on .the
licensed victuallers of the district.
From the evidence it appeared that on that forenoon
the prisoners were met by Clay, a constable of the K
division, and, suspecting by their manner that all was
not right, he asked what they had in the basket carried
by the female. The male prisoner replied that that was
no affair of his, and abused him as an impudent fellow.
Clay, who was in plain clothes at the time, drew
out his staff, . and, stating that he was -an officer,
insisted on searching them. He did so, and
finding that the basket was full of publicans' pots, he
requested the assistance of Mr. Hemmingways, the land-
lord of the Weaver's Arms, in the Mile-end road, who
was accidently passing at the time, to take them to the
watchhouse, and on their way there the male prisoner
voluntarily took off his hat, and handed Clay a pint pot,
nearly bent together, which he had concealed over his
head. After locking them up, Clay proceeded to their
lodgings, and there found a frying pan, which was evi-
dently used for the purpose of melting down pots, with
upwards of 101bs. of the melted metal in it. On further
searching, the officers found a great number of pots be-
longing to various publicans in the vicinity of the Mile-
end-road, and also a great number of liquor glasses, tum-
blers, 80., some of which had the name and marks filed
out.
Mrs. Good, landlady of the Black Boy, in the Mile-
end-road ; Miss Grant, of the-White Swan, in the same
neighbourhood ; and Mr. Melehan, of the North Briton,
Bedford-square East, identified a portion of the measures
produced, and each recognized the prisoners as being fre-
quently at their houses. Mr. Melchan stated that in less
