NEGLECT OF SEWERS CONTRACTORS.

Gore, one of the contractors to the Court of Sewers,
was summoned by one of the City police, his men
having swept and shoved down the grating in Alders-
gate-street, near the Post-office Money Order-office,
and one of the gratings in Smithfield•, quantities of
thick mud.

The contractor did not attend, but one of his as-
sistants appeared, and endeavoured to make an excuse
for him. The full fine of 51. was, however, inflicted
in each case.—Adjourned.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.

James Hare and Charles Rehden were brought up
for final examination on the charge of obtaining goods
under false pretences.

The chief clerk read the evidence taken on the
previous occasion, which was to the following ef-
fect :

Mr. Robert Turner, of No. 16, Ludgate-hill, de-
posed that on the 19th of August Hare, whom he
had known for some years, came to him and requested
to be intrusted with four shawls, as he was going
into the country, and thought he should be able to
dispose of some of them. He advised him to go to
some wholesale warehouse, where he would be sure
to get them cheaper, but the prisoner declined, on the
grounds that he did not know where he could obtain
the particular description of shawl wanted, and even-
tually he gave orders to one of his yuung men to de-
liver them to him.

Michael Haydon, 21, of the City detective force,
said that on Tuesday, the 3d of October, he met the
prisoner Rehden by appointment at eleven o'clock, in
Red Lion-street, John's-roud, Islington, for the pur-
pose of receiving information which would lead to
the apprehension of' the elder prisoner Hare. He was
to get 31. for it, but on its being placed in his hands
he turned round and laughingly said, " He is at
the station- house by this time, where you can see
hint." He demanded the money back, which Rehden
re: used to return, whereupon he took him into cus-
tody for obtaining money under false pretences, and
on being searched at the station-house some duplicates
were found in his possession, relating to property that
had been obtained by Hare under false pi etences. On
searching the house where Rehden's mother resided
he found a portmanteau in the prisoner's room, which
contained between sixty and seventy duplicates re-
lating to property that Hare had defrauded parties of.
The first witness called by Mr. Clipperton was—
George Meadows, who said—l am an assistant to
Mr. Robert Turner, of Ludgate-hill, and recollect that
on the 19th of August the prisoner Hare came and
wished to see my employer, which he did. Mr. Turner
told me to go up stairs and show him some shawls,
after looking at which he selected four. I brought
them down and entered the goods in the proper book,
when the prisoner wished for a bill of parcels, which
was given to him. He said he was going into the
country, and could dispose of some of them, but would
let me have what he did not sell on the fallowing Mon-
day. I asked his address, and he gave it as being No.
10, King-square, Gos well- street. On Monday, the 21st,
he called again, and said that he had sold two shawls,
and that he had no doubt he could dispose of the
others, but he wished to have a satinet dress for one
of the parties to whom he had sold a shawl. Mr.
Turner being at dinner, I went to him and stated the
request Mr. Hare had made, when I was instructed
to give the satinet to him. It was a length of 15f
yards, and of the value of 31. ls. ld. I did up the
parcel, and he took it away, saying that he should
call on Tuesday and pay for the goods he had sold, as
well as return the shawls in case he did not dispose of
them in the mean time. He, however, did not keep
his word, in consequence of which, by the direction of
Mr. Turner, I made inquiries in King-square, and
found that no such person resided there.
Mr. Robert Turner here said, that the reason he
allowed the prisoner to have the goods was on account
of knowing him for the last ten or twelve years.
William Vincent, assistant to Mr. Brown, a
pawnbroker in Fetter-lane, produced two shawls,
which had been pledged by Hare on the 19th of
August for 1/.
Mr. Turner identified them both, and said their
value was 50s. cost price.
James Henry Stewart, assistant to Mr. Kirkham,
of 318, Strand, pawnbroker, also produced two shawls,
pawned for 10s,, on the 19th of August, which Mr.
Turner at once identified as being his property, the
value of which was 21.

Mr. Vincent also 'produced the satinet obtained
from Mr. Turner, which was pledged on the 21st of
August, the same day on which he obtained it from
that gentleman. It was pawned by Hare for 1/. 123.
Three other cases were then gone into, and fully
proved, when
Alderman LAWRENCE said he should commit them
for trial.

Mr. Clipperton hoped that the pawnbrokers :would
give up the property to . the right owners without
giving him the trouble to prove every case, as there
were an immense number against them. . _

Alderman LAWRENCE thought it was their best
plan, to save themselves a great deal of trouble.
A number of pawnbrokers here stepped forward,
and refused to do 30, on the ground that under the
3d and 4th of Victoria, cap. 27 and 28, the magis-
trate had the power to order some compensation to
them, for they did not see why they should be the
sufferers when parties had not taken proper precau-
tions before giving their goods into the possession of
any person, however long they might have known
them.

Alderman LAWRENCE—But the same Act says
that I may order it or I may not, it being entirely
left to my discretion, and certainly in this instance I
shall not interfere, particularly when I remember in
one of the cases goods are taken in with tickets on
them of that description which certainly ought to
have aroused suspicion, and iu another case only 17s.

discretion has not been used by
the pawnbrokers.

defence, but was at last stopped by
Alderman LAWRENCE, who observed that from his
conduct throughout he appeared not only to have
been an accomplice with his uncle, but also, in conse-
quence of a quarrel, tried to (what might be termed)
sell him to the police.
They were committed, but are to be brought up on
Thursday, to hear the depositions read, which are of
great length.
Clipperton intimated
to the pawnbrokers that,
as they refused to give up the property, he should
prosecuteM r.O
l iipnp everycase,
when they would have to re-
store them without any remuneration.
CLERKENW ELL.
James Wilde, a repulsive-looking fellow, was
placed at the bar before Mr. Combe, charged by
Ellen Harris, a young woman, with having brutally
assaulted her.
The prisoner was also charged with having
violently assaulted police-constable 20, E division.
The prisoner said nothing in his defence.
Mr. COMBS sail his conduct was most atrocious
and cowardly. He convicted him in the extreme pe-
nalty of 51., or in default two months' imprisonment,
with hard labour, in the House of Correction, for the
assault upon the woman.; and he also sentenced him
to one month's imprisonment and hard labour, with-
out fine, for the assault on the police-constable.—He
was conveyed to prison.
SOUTHWARK.

TriMane Hughes was charged on the police-sheet
with maliciously assaulting and wounding Eliza
Minon, who is not expected to survive the injuries
inflicted upon her.
William Hinchcliffe' 85 M, stated that between
twelve and one o'clock that morning, while on duty
in Tooley-street, his attention was called to cries of
" Murder !" proceeding from a house in Unicorn-
square. He repaired there without loss of time, and
at the door of one of the houses, kept by a person
named Jenkins, he saw a woman who entreated him
for God's sake to go into the house, as there was a
man murdering a woman in one of the rooms on the
ground-floor. He immediately went into the back
parlour, and on his entrance he observed a woman
lying on the bed on the floor, and the prisoner stand-
ing over the spot in a stooping position, with his.
hands resting on a washhand-stand, and with his back
turned to the woman, kicking her on the head with the
heel of his shoe. Her head and face were completely
covered with blood, so that it was impossible to disco-
ver a feature in her face. The prisoner accompanied
each kick he gave his victim with the exclamation,
" I'll do for you now." When the prisoner saw the
policeman he attempted to make his escape by rush-
ing out of the room, but he was secured at the street-
door by another policemen, while policeman 85 went
to the assistance of the unfortunate woman, who was
stretched along the floor apparently dead, and bleeding
profusely from several wounds on her head. lie
forthwith procured a cab, had her placed in it, and
driven off to Guy's Hospital, where ail examination
took place, and it was then found that the patient was
still alive, and that she had no less than seven serious
wounds on different parts of her head, all recently in-
flicted by the prisoner in the manner above described.
Policeman 278 M stated that about half an hour
before the above occurrence took place, he saw the
prisoner quarrelling in the street with a woman,
whom he supposed was the same person now lying in
the hospital. He (the policeman) [bade them
_go ,
away, and he was afterwards called to the douse
where he secured the prisoner in the act of rushing
into the street. The prisoner made a very determined
resibtanee.

Mr. COTTINGHAM ordered the shoes to be taken off
the prisoner, and on examination it was found that
they were shod with iron and capable of inflicting
such wounds as those described to be on the woman's
head.

Mr. COTTINGIMI —This is one of the moat brutal
cases that has ever come under my notice : a strong
man like the prisoner standing over an unfortunate
woman, and, as described by the policeman, standing
with his back to his victim and jobbing the heel of
such a shoe into her head.

The MAGISTRATE then asked the prisoner what he
had to say in his defence ? The prisoner—She rob-
bed me of my money last night. I caught her after-
wards in a brothel in Unicorn-square.
Mr. COTTINGHAM—And, because she robbed you,
you thought, I suppose, that you were justified in
murdering the unfortunate woman ? Prisoner—l
was intoxicated, and did not know what I was about
at the time. I have no recollection of having kicked
the woman as the policeman describes.
Mr. COTTINGHAM—Then I can tell you that if the
woman dies you will assuredly be indicted for
murder. The Magistrate then ordered the prisoner
to be remanded, and said that if upon inquiry at: the
hospital the woman was conbidered to be in imme-
diate danger he would repair thither and take her
depositions.

LAMBETH.
In the course of the sitting of the Court yesterday,
the Rev. J. B. Talbot, secretary to the London So-
ciety for the Protection of Young Females, said he
had a peculiar application to make. It was for a
summons or warrant against a woman named ➢Matilda
Mallet, for decoying a young girl from the protection
of her mother, and being instrumental in the girl's
seduction.

It appeared from the statement which had been
furnished to the society with which he was con-
nected, that on the 221 of August last Ellen Messent,
aged fifteen years and five months, then residing
with her mother, at 34, Union street, Clapham, had
been induced by the woman Mallet to quit her mo
ther's roof, and to take tip her abode with Mallet at
the latter's lodgings in the Wyndham-road, Camber-
well. She had been there some little time, when the
girl having been either drugged or made stupid by
the administration to her of spirituous liquors, a man
was introduced into the room, and the girl being
held down by Mallet, who also stopped her mouth,
the man completely effected his purpose. Acting
under the provision of the statute of 9 Geo. IV.,
chap. 31, he (Mr. Talbot) applied to the Court in
order that the whole circumstances of this case,
which appeared to be must flagrant, might be fully
inquired into, and the woman Millet, if proved to
be guilty, adequately punished. The 19th section of
the statute in question provided, " that if any person
shall unlawfully take or cause to be taken any un.
married girl, being under the age of sixteen years, out
of the possession and against the will of her father or
mother, or any other person having lawful charge of her,
every such offender shall be guilty of a misdemeanour,
and being convicted thereof, shall be liable to suffer
such punishment by fine or imprisonment, or by
both, as the Court shall award." The girl had suf-
fered very materially, and having applied for admis
sion into the asylum provided by their institution, the
facts became known to the society, who felt it their
duty thus to submit them to this Court. The girl,
after a short time spent with Mallet after the transac-
tion, made her escape and returned to her moths r.
Both were in attendance ready to be examined by the
Court.

The girl, who appeared deeply affected, was then
put into the witness-box, and examined at some
length by Mr. Norton. She stated that she had
known Mallet from the earliest period of her life, and
that Mallet was about twenty years of age. On the
22.1 of August she prevailed upon the witness to come
to her lodgings. There were two young men with
her at the time, and they visited together various
public-houses and partook of ale and spirits, until
witness became somewhat affected. One of the
young men went away, and the other, with
witness and Mallet, visited various places in the
Strand and the Westminster-road, until they reached a
house of ill-fame, where Mallet and the young man
went into a room together alone. Mallet and the
witness then went home together, and on the follow-
ing day walked out. The next day (a Thursday) the
same young man came to their lodgings, when they
had ale and liquors until witness felt overcome.
Mallet then proposed that they should go and sit up
stairs, and desired witness to go first. She did so,
and was followed by Mallet and the young man.
Witness felt very stupid, and sat down on a chair.
She could not remember whether Mallet said any-
thing to induce her to allow the young man to seduce
her, but recollected that Mallet was in the room when
she was seduced, and Mallet had since said to her, " I
had a rare job with you, for I had to hold your
mouth." Witness, however, could not state any
further particulars, as she was so ill. That young
man she bad never seen since, and never before that
day had intercourse with any man, nor had she since,
though she had afterwards accompanied Mallet to
look for gentlemen. Witness remained with her a
week, and then returned home. Before this affair
her mother had been very strict with her about going
out so much by herself, and for that reason her home
had not been com'ortable. Witness received no
money from the young man.
The mother (a decent looking personage) stated
that this was true, but she never believed that her
daughter had been criminal until this affair.

Mr. NORTON was of opinion that, on this evidence,
the girl, now the complainant, had acted on her own
free will in the matter. She left her mother at once,
and remained with this woman Mallet for some time
after the transaction now complained of.
Mr. Talbot said he felt there was a difficulty in
pressing the provisions of the Act of Parliament he
had cited, and perhaps in this case the worthy ma-
gistrate would deal with it as an assault committed
by Mallet in the part she had taken when the man
had effected his purpose on the girl.
Mr. NORTON—That assault i 3 not proved by the
girl, but stands only on the admission it was said
Mallet made to her afterwards. Unless the girl can
swear that Mallet used the force stated, I fear we
cannot assist you.
The girl, on being recalled, was asked if she could
swear positively that Mallet had held her mouth and
used force. She replied in the negative, for she had
no recollection of what passed, except from what
Mallet had since told her.
Mr. Talbot saw the difficulty of pursuing the
matter further under such circumstances. T'ie
matter had been brought forward on public groun s,
and because the house in which it occurred was a
brothel, of which several had been established in t se
Wyndham-road, to which young girls were decoyed
by persons of Mallet's character. The society had a
prosecution now pending against a man who owned
fifty to sixty such houses in different parts of the
metropolis.
Mr. NORTON regretted he could not afford any
further assistance; and Mr. Talbot, after thanking
the magistrate for his attention, quitted the court.

Titus BLUE.—On Saturday, at the Devonport
Sessions House, a carpenter, named John Jackson, was
charged with assaulting Captain Manning, the resident
magistrate at Portland Island, The case was proved,
and in his defence he thought it necessary only to assert
that he had spent a little fortune in support of the
Church and State, particularly in drinking to its sue-

did with much grumbling, as with that sum he could
have drunk to "Church and State" a hundred times over.
