THAMES.

Two seamen, named Thomas M'Crum and James
Wells, were brought before Mr. Ballantine, charged
with assaulting Mr. George Matthews, the landlord
of the White Swan public-house, High-street,
Shad well.

Mr. Pelham appeared for the prosecution, and
stated that he was desirous of addressing the magis-
trate on a subject of some importance to the licensed
victuallers of the district. His Worship was well
aware of the difficulties under which the trade
laboured in the district of the court, with its ever
shifting populatin. The complainant in this case was
Mr. Matthews, who had conducted his business for
some time with much credit, and whose character was
unimpeachable. He was, however, bound to admit
there had been causes of complaint arising out of dis-
turbances in the house, over which the landlord had
no control. The Court must be aware that in such
a peculiar neighbourhood as Shadwell it was
quite impossible for the landlord of a house of public
entertainment to conduct his business so quietly as
the landlord of a house at the West-end. Every-
body was aware of the peculiarities of sailors, and
that it was impossible to apply those nice rules of
propriety to seafaring men which regulated the con-
duct of others. The police would, if any doubt
were thrown on the subjeet, give the house a good
character, and state that Mr. Matthews had done all
in his power, and at some great pecuniary sacrifice,
to comply with the terms of his license.

Mr. BALLANTINE—He would have some difficulty
to do that in my district.
Mr. Pelham—You are quite right, sir; and it is a
source of much gratification, that I am addressing a
magistrate of so much experience, who is well aware
of the difficulties of licensed victuallers eastward
of the Tower. Mr. Matthews was desirous of
being in good repute with the magistrates of the
district, and availed himself of the opportunity
of bringing bofore the Court two riotous and
disorderly fellows, who had entered the White Swan,
apparently in concert, to annoy Mr. Matthews and
his customers, and to create a disturbance outside the
house. If the evidence adduced would justify a con-
viction, that evidence would be deposed to by Mr.
Matthews and his waiter, and he should then ask the
Magistrate to deal with the case summarily, or send
it to the sessions as he might deem it best for the
furtherance of justice. Mr. Matthews would not
shrink from the expenses of a prosecution at the
sessions, and he was requested to state that that was
the general feeling of the licensed victuallers in the
district.

Mr. BALLANTINE—I have no doubt of it, Mr.
Pelham. I know better than you do the diffi •
culties of the trade. There are orthodox irregu-
larities here which it is difficult for the licensed vic-
tuallers, the police, and the magistrates to upset.
Mr. Pelham—ln this case it will be proved that
the prisoners were the aggressors. Mr. Matthews
and his waiter were assaulted, and, but for their in-
trepid conduct, the consequences would have been
most serious to the peace of the locality, and in the
end, in all probability, further animadversions might
therefore follow on the head of Mr. Matthews, if he
had not acted as had done.

Evidence was then given of the disgraceful con-
duct of the prisoners, who assaulted Mr. Matthews
and his waiter, tore their clothes, and made a
desperate resistance, when the police took them into
custody.
Several policemen said that Mr. Matthews and his
waiter were much ill-used, and the latter was bleed-
ing from the mouth:

Mr. BALLANTINE—I am quite satisfied with the
conduct of the complainant in this case, and 1 have
no reason to be dissatisfied with the conduct of the
licensed victuallers, in this the most troublesome
district in England. I fine the prisoners 40s. each
for the assault on the publican and his servant; and if
they do not pay it, they will go to prison for 20 days.
I will protect the licensed victuallers in the enforce-
ment of good rule and order.
Christopher Graham, who was charged last week
with stealing 151., the property of William Jenkins,
during a card party, appeared for further examina-
tion ; when the Magistrate was informed by Air.
Pelham that the prosecutor did not intend to appear
to press the charge.
Mr. BALLANTINE immediately discharged the pri-
soner.

William Warren, a powerful-looking man, em-
ployed as a labourer, was brought before Mr. Bal-
lantine on remand, charged with assaulting Mr. Wil-
liam R. Goodfellow, the landlord of the Waterman's
Arms, Lower Shadwell.

On the 6th instant the prisoner entered the above
house and commenced quairelling with a man who
was standing in front of the bar. He was remon-
strated with, but still continued to be very noisy, and
he was eventually removed from the house. He
returned and said he would go in ; but was prevented
by Mr. Goodfellow. The prisoner was very much
excited, and succeeded in lifting the prosecutor in his
arms, and afterwards threw him violently upon the
ground. The prisoner was taken into custody, and
on the following day was remanded, in consequence
of Mr. Goodfellow being confined to his bed from a
fracture of the spine, caused in his fall. To-day the
prosecutor attended and was sworn to the above facts.
He was still suffering from the injury.
Mr. BALLANTINE fined the prisoner 205., or ten
days' imprisonment.

THE NEW BUILDINGS ACT.—At the anniversfol
dinner of the Master Carpenters' Society, held ou We -
nesday in last week, at Blackwell, Mr. H. Biers, press'
dent, in the chair. The president said he wished he
could foretell a future and improved edition of the Build.
ings Bill, In October last he was sent by the society ss
its representative, to work upon a committee appointed
by Lord Morpeth to examine and to report up on the,
emendations necessary in the present absui:d sou
obnoxious Metropolitan Buildings Bill. From. October
to February last the committee met at least once
week, and gave to the subject the most persevering
attention for six or seven hours at each xneeeting•
In February last, a report of the committee waS
sent to Lord Morpeth, but from that time to this
not a word of communication had been forwarded
to any one of the Committee either by or on behalf of
his Lordship. At the commencement of the labours of
the Committee, it was agreed that until after the report
of the Committee had been sent to Lord Morpeth, the
Committee was not to report to their respec:
Live constituencies, and he (the Chairman) had
since understood that it was still the wish of
Lord Morpeth that for the present the recommendations
of the Committee should be prevented from being laid
before the public. About 79 of the clauses in the present
Bill are altered, amended, or expunged; the schedules
are also altered most materially, and a large proportion
are recommended to be entirely removed.—The Builder.
