THAMES OFFiGE.

Henry Laver, landlord of the Mechanics' Arms beer-
shop, in the Ferry-road, Isle of Dogs, Poplar, was
charged under the police act with harbouring a police-
man while on duty.
Parker, a police sergeant, No. 5 K, stated that at
half-past ten o'clock on the night of the 7th instant he
was passing the bcer-shop, and saw a police-constable
who should have been upon duty, in company with a
female, in the house. They were both standing in
font of the bar.

Thomas Brown, a police-constable, No. 256 K, stated
that he was upon duty in Mid-wall, which was a very
dark and unfrequented road, and was met by a female,
who requested him to see her along the Wall and pro-
tect her. He complied with her reque;t, and she invited
him to partake of a glass of ale at the defendant's
house, and he unthinkingly did so. The "good lady"
called for the ale, and a glass of it was poured out be-
fore he entered. He waa not in the house more than
three. minutes. He had a great coat and his armlet
on. Ile did not know whether the defendant could see
the armlet, or knew he was on duty.
The defendant, in reply to the charge, said he did
not know the policeman was on duty. The woman called
for the ale, and the policeman entered afterwards. He
would rather shut up his beer-shop than such an occur_
rence should happen again,
Inspector May said the policeman was in full dut
dress, and was arrnad with a eadas3. Tnis announce
ment excited great surprise, but it was said that many
policemen were armed with swords and pistols.

Mr. BALLANTINE said the defendant *had harboured
the policeman while on duty, and fined him 22., and 2s.
casts.

WORSHIP-STREET.

William Drake, a shoemaker, a Chartist, appeared
before Mr. Broughton to a summons, charged by John
Golding, a quandom Chartist, with having unlawfully
threatened him so as to put him in fear of his life. Mr.
Hunt, a solicitor, attended for the defendant.
The complainant, who stated that he was a preacher,
and lived at No. 7, New Clifton-place, said that last
Sunday evening he was at the Hull of Science, City-
road, to hear a lecture. He entered the place ab.,ut
seven o'clock, and was on the platform. About twenty
minutes past eight o'clock he was pointed out by the
defendant, who was in the body of the meeting, and
who exclaimed that he was a government spy, and a
policeman in a disguise. He soon after got on the
platform, and made use of the same expressions, and
added that he had betrayed the Chartists, and sold
poor. Boggis. The tifeet was to cause a momentary
disturbance, which he (complainant) succeeded in quiet-
ing by assuring him that the imputation was false.
But when he was on the point of leaving, a man, who
appeared nearly drunk, came up to him, and said that
he should like to run a hole through him. Two
or three others also called him a scoundrel.

In answer to Mr. Broughton, tl:e comphinant said
that he was in fear of his life in consequence of the
charge, as there were many ignorant men, who were
led by the more designing Chartists, who talked of
stabbing policemen, and setting fire to houses, who
would not mind doing him some personal injury.
Mr. BROUGHTON inquired what sort of religion was
professed in the lectures delivered at the Hall of &i-
-nce ?

The complainant replied, that they were certain tenets
of the Rev. Richard Carlile, and he explained then, to
the Magistrate, observing, that Mrs. Cathie delivered
the lecture that night in the absence of her husband,
who had been attacked with paralysis.

Mr. BROUGHTON—When was he seized with a
paralysis ? Complainant—Last Sunday fortnight, at the
Hal. of Science.

The complainant, being questioned by the defendant's
solicitor, said that he was formerly one of the Chttrtist
ceders; and Le left them some months ago, when many
were taken into custody. To his knowledge he never
gave aivice to the Chartists to take arms to defend
themselves. But he knew that the defendant did. He
denied ever having given any information to the Go-
wrnment against Boggis, or any Chartist.
John Brett, cabinet-maker, Catherine-street, City-
road, confirmed the evidence of the complainant ; and
said that when the man went up to him, he remarked
that, as he was an enemy to the Chartists, he should
like—when the complainant said what would you like ?
—the man remarked, " I should like to make a hole
through you."
Another witness having confirmed the evidence,
Mr. Hunt said that the charge was scarcely worthy
of a reply, since he was able to state that the difference
between the complainant. and defendant arose from the
former having seceded from, the Chartists, and, it was
believed had given information to Government in refer-
ence the proceedings of the Chartists.

Mr. BROUGHTON remarked that it was no matter
what might be the religious opinions of any one, they
equally should have the protection of the law. The
charge was fully proved, and he should hold the de-
fendant to bail to answer the charge at the sessions, if
the complainant thought proper to take it there.
The defendant was held to bail, himself in 401., and
two sureties in 20/. each. Many of the leading Char-
tists were present, and a Chartist shorthand writer took
notes of the proceedings.
