MARLBR(Y-STREET-(THIS DAY.)
Mary Basteiville, a woman of the town, was placed
before Mr. Bingham, charged with having uttered a
counterfeit half-crown.

Mr. Richard Forrest, chemist, &c., 20, Marylebone-
street, Regent-street, said, on the previous evening,
about five o'clock, the prisoner came into his shop and
gilled for two ounces of salts. Witness served her
with them, and received the half-crown produced in
payment. Directly he felt the coin he found that it
was a counterfeit. He told the prisoner such was the
case, and she protested against all knowledge of its
being base. Witness then sent for a constable and gave
her in charge.
The prisoner said she had not the least idea that
the coin was bad. She had taken it of a gentleman,
for favours conferred, a few minutes previous, and
would not have attempted to pass it had she known it
to have been a counterfeit.
Mr. BINGHAM said such might have been the case, and
he should therefore discharge her.
GENTLEMANLY AMUSEMENTS.-Mr. Arthur Marley
and Mr. James Bradley, two fashionably dressed gentle-
men, were charged with wilfully wrenching the knockers
off several doors.
P. C. 181, was on duty a little after four this morning
in St. James's-street, when he saw the defendants, and
two others not in custody, go up to a door in the above
street and try to wrench the knocker off. Not succeed-
ing, they went to several other doors, and eventually
wrenched a knocker and a door-handle off. They caught
sight of witness and ran away. He pursued them and
took them into custody.
Mr. BINGiIAM fined Morley 51. and Bradley 40s.
'The money was immediately paid.
