THAMES.

A person applied to Mr. Broderip to complain of an
inconvenience to which he was subjected by having
vehicles stop in the front of his premises, thereby to a
considerable extent injuring his business. Ho felt it as
a very great nuisance, aad hoped his Worship would be
enabled to afford him redress or protection.
Mr. YARDLEY asked whether vehicles stopped there
for the purpose of loading or unloading, or for taking up
or setting down passengers?—The applicant said they
neither did one or the other,,but stopped there merely at
their pleasure.
Mr. YARDLEY regretted that under those circum-
stances he could render him no assistance. The Police
Act, 2d and 3d Viet, cap. 47, sec. 54, imposed penalties
on persons keeping carts, coaches, trucks, &c., in the
streets, for a longer time than was necessary to load or
unload, or to take up or set down passengers, but by
some strange omission or oversight it neglected to pro-
vide against that nuisance.
The applicant left the court, looking volumes of com-
mentaries on the wisdom of legislators.
CL ERKEIV WELL.
John Coker was placed at the bar, charged by Eliza-
beth Wells, a girl fifteen years of age, with having com-
mitted the following daring outrage.
She stated that she had been living with her father
and mother-in-law, in the neighbourhood of Ball's-pond,
Islington, and on Sunday night last they turned her out
of doors. She wandered about until twelve o'clock,
when, being fatigued, she sat down on the step of a door
in Maiden- lane, Battle-bridge, to rest herself; and fell
asleep. At about half-past one she was awoke by the
prisoner, who was conducting himself very indecently
towards her. He then acted with the utmost violence,
but she resisted his brutal attempts and called out
" murder ; " and her screams brought assistance to the
spot. She gave further evidence, which is unfit for
publication.

➢irs. Mary Cosher, of Maiden-lane, Battle-bridge,
deposed that she was passing near the spot, in company
of her husband at the time, and corroborated the evi-
dence of the prosecutrix.
The prisoner, who hung down his head, said he was
drunk, and did not know what he was doing.
Mr. TYRWHITT said he would commit him to take his
trial at the Central Criminal Court, and he directed that
the poor girl should be taken care of in the workhouse
in the meantime.

LAMBETH.
Mrs. Mary Rowley, who a fortnight ago had been ex-
amined at this court, with her son, John Rawson, on
various charges of swindling, but who had subsequently
neglected to attend upon her recognizances, was placed
at the bar with her son, William Hans Rawson, before
Mr. Elliott, on a charge of defrauding Mr. George
Crook, a draper, 48, Pall-mall, out of 25/.
The facts of this case, as well as of several others in
which the prisoners were implicated, have already been
before the public, and after hearing Mr. Cook's state•
meat, the prisoners were further remanded.

TVESTdIINSTER.
Thomas Williams, alias Foley, was charged with steal-
ing a very handsome and valuable Skye terrier, the
property of Mr. William Witham, of 49, Eaton-►quare.
William Long, footman in the prosecutor's service
stated that he took the dog out between twelve and one
o'clock for an airing, and on arriving at 'William-street,
Knightsbridge, had to wait for a moment before he could
cross the road. Immediately afterwards he missed the
dog, and in consequence of what a boy told him
he went in pursuit of the prisoner, who was running,
and on overtaking him the latter threw down the dog.
➢lr. BURRELL committed him fur six months to hard
labour.

Mr. Bishop, of Bond-street, through whose unremit-
ting exertions, at considerable cost, the new Act under
which the prisoner was convicted was obtained, was
present during the examination, and appeared to take
great interest in the proceedings.
