Edward Bannister and Adolphus Fully, young work-
ing men, were charged with causing a disturbance at the
Queen's Theatre, in Tottenham-street, Tottenham-court-
road, making use of obscene language, and assaulting the
constable of the theatre, and one of the check- t'Lkers.
It appeared that between seven and eight on Tuesday
evening the defendants presented themselves to the
money-taker at the gallery
entrance and asked if there
was room ; tkey were told that there was good
standing room or side seats ; they then in-
quired, if they did not like their places, would
their money be returned to them, and were told cer-
tainly not; they, however, paid the price of their ad-
mission and went up stairs, but shortly returned, com-
plaining that there was not sufficient room to get sight
of the stage, and demanded the return of their money.
The constable was sent up stairs with them again/ sad

sea's were found them, but they objected to them, and
coming deveu to the money-taker, violently assaulted
him and knocked down the constable; they also made
use of abusive and obscene language.
The defendants said they had certainly had a little
too much to drink, but were irritated at (imbue no room
in the gallery, and the refusal of the money-taker to re-
turn what they had paid for admission.
Mr. lIARDWICKE asked if they were drunk? The con-
stable said the.) certainly had been drinking.
Mr. HARDWICKH said that places of public amusement
should not be disturbed bucause some persons chose to
get drunk and misconduct themselves. The defendants
should each pay 205., or ten days' imprisonment.
Mat y Wasfold and Ellen Johnson, young women, were
charged on suspicion of being concerned in stealing a
gold watch and guard chain, of the value of 301. Be-
tween four and five o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, the
prisoner Wa-fold offered in pledge to Mr. Wallace, of
No. 51, Old Compton-street, Soho, silversmith and pawn-
broker, the watch and guard chain in question, asking
the advance of 4/. on them. The value of the pro-
perty excited Mr. Wallace's suspicion that it
had not been honestly come by, and on questioning
Wasfold he was from the unsatisfactory account she
gave induced to send for a police-constable, No. 166 of
the E division, and give her into custody. She then
stated that she had been sent to pledge the watch by the
prisoner Ellen Johnson, who was waiting for her at No.
7, Crown-street, Soho. In a short time afterwards
Johnson came to Mr. Wallace's shop to inquire about
her companion, and was also given in charge. Mr. Wal-
lace, by referring to the maker of the watch, Mr.
Dent, of the Strand, ascertained that it was
the propel ty of a gentleman residing in Lincoln's
Inn .fiields, at present oat of town. Johnson asserted
that the watch and guard-chain had been given to
her by that gentleman on boxing night, she having acci-
dentally met with him. in Lincoln's Inn-fields.
Mr. Iteanwicie said, that much credit was due to Mr.
Wallace for the steps he had taken in bringing this case
forward.
The prisoners were remanded until to-morrow.

in Leather-lane, by police-constable Porter, 10 G, at

let go," for God's sake. The house whence the fowls
were stolen is likewise a dwelling. The inmates were
not at all disturbed by thethief.-T-Committed for trial.
